terrible. I suppose that would hinge on your definition of terrible. At any rate, I happened upon an article. Ronda Rousey is helping set up a suicide prevention center or something. Something like that. As I read through the article, I came to learn that her father and grandfather committed suicide. [linebreak] [linebreak] I appreciate the kind thought and I don't believe you meant to get me going, but you got me going. [linebreak] [linebreak] How stupid do you think I am? Do you think I don't fucking realize how goddamn horrible suicide is? Do you think that I'm some naive apelike simpleton that needs to be sent to a mental hospital for therapy, medication and other costly 'treatments'? [linebreak] [linebreak] It's nice to know that you care about other suicidal people, but for me, I don't take too kindly to being told that I don't have the right to commit suicide. I don't take kindly to platitudes and appeals to my emotions when I am already fully cognizant of the horrors of suicide. [linebreak] [linebreak] Why is it that when I get to be a little too lonely and desperate, the *first* thing you're going to tell me is "Get help."? What do you think this help is going to give me that I haven't already experienced? It'll give me more goddamn bills and I'll get somebody on the phone asking me if I want to sign up for cognitive behavioral therapy. [linebreak] [linebreak] I know how to fight this. The reason that I'm sitting here typing this is all the proof I need. [linebreak] [linebreak] When I see these anti-suicide things, I just feel so irked. The only time you give a fuck about me is when I'm in a suicidal mindset. Beside that, I'm just a blank face. A mere statistic. [linebreak] [linebreak] Believe me. Seriously. Believe me. I'm not yanking your chain. I know how bad suicide is. You don't need to remind me of that. [linebreak] [linebreak] I can't stop you from trying to prevent suicide, but I can state my opinion and so, I have. [linebreak] [linebreak] +Don't get me wrong, I'm depressed all the time. Just went off my meds because they didn't work. [linebreak] Now I'm on vacation with my parents and it has some cool times, but i'm mostly just off. Tired, no energy, sad. [linebreak] [linebreak] Tried talking to girl my age here (I think she's my age) and she just seemed so uninterested in conversation I got somewhat offended. Haven't had sex in several years so I'm feeling very undesirable. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think my Mum's cheating. Or my dad is into cuckold. I hate both options. [linebreak] [linebreak] I swear, some days I just want to end it. It's not worth slogging through day by day by day and to get back home to feel the warm embrace of my shitty laptop. I lie to myself I don't need shit from anybody but I'm human. And humans need others. [linebreak] [linebreak] I realize I am the only one who can change ny life but I just CAN'T seem to do that. I've been doing therapy for years now with several therapists. [linebreak] Sometimes I just think some people aren't meant to live. +I used to cry all the time as a child and told adults how I used to be treated at home . They chalked it up to me being a sensitive kid and one teacher even went as far as calling me a cry baby in second grade and refusing to speak to me until she absolutely HAD TO. [linebreak] [linebreak] Home was hell, I was called useless , fat , dumb , and everything in between. I'm held back a year because they didn't bother putting me in school when I should have been and I'm just so pissed that I could be graduating THIS YEAR but I'm not! [linebreak] [linebreak] This past year I was kicked out of the house so I stayed with a friend. Two weeks in my friend's mom suggested I try to make bite the bullet and go home because "you've always been a sensitive kid" . Really ? Go back to an abusive place , because you perceive me as sensitive ??? [linebreak] [linebreak] There's a reason I cried almost every day. I don't anymore , because I'm not around them. Don't just brush off a child when they react negatively to something , real things might be happening to them but you wan to take the easy way out and label them as sensitive. I will never forget the teachers and parents who played dumb when it came to how my home like was. I will never forgive them either . +Im shaking my head here, but doesn't this seem like a no brainer? This guy just blurted out that number without any hesitation. "It's all I have but I will give it to you, please just have the abortion". [linebreak] [linebreak] She's not too keen on the idea, but she was leaning towards an abortion before he made the offer. She doesn't like the idea of taking life, but has 3 children already and with all the other health and emotional stress in her life as it is, it makes the most sense. [linebreak] [linebreak] As far as I'm concerned, my advice is to take the money and run. The abortion makes sense, and in the end is the best thing for her and her health. It's only 2-3 weeks into the pregnancy. I'm not nut's right? +That and, if reddit's community didn't use the downvote button as a disagree button, I wouldn't be writing this post. [linebreak] [linebreak] I do not like the current fad of releasing remakes and remasters of everything, especially in Nintendo consoles. Additionally, I am not a fan of Nintendo's practices of charging double the price for ports than you see on other consoles (Skyrim costs twice as much on the Switch than on the PS4/XBOX, the new Final Fantasy ports are apparently all at least 40€). [linebreak] [linebreak] I am certainly not the only person who thinks this, because it is not the first time I see threads and comments being showered with replies that can be summed up to 'shut up and accept it' and flurries of downvotes. [linebreak] [linebreak] Some of us do not need to relive our childhood, teenagehood or whatever with constant remakes or remasters. Some of us would like new original content or sequels. But since most people keep buying these, companies have realized they can have more profit with half the work by remaking, remastering and re-releasing these games with special edition instead of focusing on other, different projects. This is what gives us stuff like Pokémon Let's Go, which were considered very lackluster remakes with less effort put in them than the remakes that were released over ten years before and what also makes us buy games that are no more than beta versions, since DLC/complete versions come out the year later. [linebreak] [linebreak] I am not trying to attack eventual posters that identify with this mindset I am disagreeing with. There are remakes/remasters that are really good to introduce a new generation to a certain game (Pokémon Fire Red/Leaf Green, The 3DS Zelda remasters), but there is a growing trend of remakes/remasters/complete edtions that are basically just to profit as much as they can off one game without altering it much. And that is what some of us want to voice their disapproval over, but can't because the downvote brigade rains down on dissent. I had to unsubcribe from r/nintendoswitch because of this, the hivemind is just plain insufferable. +Periodic reminder that the moderators of /r/help engage in politically biased moderation practices and routinely permanently ban users even when they broke no rules whatsoever because they don't approve of their political or religious views [linebreak] [linebreak] While /r/help should, in theory, be a nonpartisan and nonpolitical subreddit, it is in fact run by leftist moderators who ban anyone who they consider a "bigot" (aka anyone who is even slightly right of them on the political spectrum). For example, if you post a question in /r/help asking how to remove the gay propaganda icon they force down your throat during gay pride month, they will instantly ban you despite the fact that there is nothing bigoted or rule breaking about asking that question and it is in fact a legitimate question [linebreak] [linebreak] Evidently, the moderators of /r/help are very strongly against anyone who they consider to be "unaccepting of LGBT people" - even if you're not actually unaccepting of them, but openly hate socially conservative/religious people and consider us "bigots" for following the tenets of our faith and asking how to remove content we find offensive from our Reddit page layout +Background: 21 years old, chubby, friendless, haven't kissed a girl or even held her hand yet. I feel like I've missed out on a lot of things I should've had experienced by now & that it's probably too late to catch up. [linebreak] [linebreak] Every day is as boring as the previous one. If someone was looking at me all day, all they would see would be some fat guy sitting in front of a gigantic screen with a poker face. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's sad, man. Every year I feel like it's too late to change, only to regret not having tried one year later. I wish I could go back in time and tell 17 years old me that no, it's not too late to get in shape, as you'll still wish to be ripped when you're 21. Or go back and tell 18 years old me that it is too early to give up any hopes of ever kissing a girl or having a social life. The list goes on. But sadly, I can't change my past. [linebreak] [linebreak] What's even more depressing is that it is pretty much entirely my fault. Yes, I do have overprotective parents, but I should have done something. If only I had told them to fuck off whenever they asked where I was going, with who, and that endless amount of questions they asked (and still ask) me every time I opened the door, my life could have been a lot more different. [linebreak] [linebreak] Nowadays, I often act against my own interests solely out of fear. For example: some weeks ago, I messaged a girl I had been texting for around a month (I don't know if I like her as a friend & it's just my mind playing tricks on me because of my inexperience or if I actually like her romantically) at around 3 am and since I didn't get an answer half an hour later I decided to pop some sleeping pills and head to bed. [linebreak] [linebreak] Right after waking up, I saw her reply. She answered 10 minutes after I knocked myself out. Said she was at some club and told me to drop by if I wanted. A few minutes later, she mentioned that she was going to the beach later if I wanted to go. And that she was leaving the town we both were at at a certain hour. [linebreak] [linebreak] What did I do? I saw the message an hour before she said she would leave (in the notification panel with my phone in flight mode so she wouldn't know I saw it) and answered an hour after she left with some crappy excuse as to why I couldn't answer earlier. Even though I really wanted to see her. [linebreak] [linebreak] My lack of social skills angers me. I know I would've done the exact same thing if I hadn't gone to bed before her reply. Why? Because I fear that my awkwardness would drive her away. Especially at a nightclub (only went three times to one, none of them were 'successful' nights at all). The beach was also a terrifying idea because in addition to having zero social skills, I'm not happy with my body at all. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's not that I'm an introvert. Socializing tends to make me happier and more energetic for the rest of the day. It kills me when I find something funny on the internet and I have no one to share it with. Or when I want to go to the movies or something and I have no one to go with. I dislike being by myself most of the time. I'd love to have a group of friends to go out and have fun with. Or even go on vacations with, like some do. But since I tend to bore people on one-on-one conversations and I usually get kind of ignored when in a group, it looks like an unattainable goal. And I'd love to go to nightclubs, but I don't have the social skills to really enjoy it. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've recently tried to lose weight again, successfully. Lost 6% bodyfat but I 'gave up' again two weeks ago. I'm struggling once again with the false belief that it's too late to improve. That the door has already closed. The same dumb questions arise: "Why would I want to be ripped at 22? Will I even be able to catch up with social skills? Will it even be worth it?". [linebreak] [linebreak] Any advice is welcome. +I just finished watching the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor" and I feel that the American people have disrespected Mr. Rogers as a whole. I am aware that not all of Reddit is America, but I'm primarily speaking about the American state, as its the only world view I have right now. [linebreak] [linebreak] Mr. Rogers taught us to love one another in spite of differences. The man so hated television that he changed it by himself through his program. I feel that we as the children who grew up on his show have failed him and his memory by dividing ourselves. America is so divided these days that people are faking hate crimes and it is believable to an extent. I think that we as his former audience need to remember the tolerance he preached. [linebreak] [linebreak] His message of Everyone is Special is often derided as being unrralistic as "if everyone is special then no one is." But that isnt what Everyone is Special means. It means that we are all deserving of anothers love for what makes us unique. Yes there are bad people out there. Im not denying that, but I think we all need to take a step back, and rather than fight over our differences, bond over our similarities. The world is a mess right now, and we as humans need to band together to fix it. +https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sf5UdA9JSw [linebreak] [linebreak] Posted a video from a crash in Karnataka claiming its a video of the Indian jet PAF shot down.

Like does anyone else see the hypocrisy in it? I don't get how sex can be put on a positive pedestal but if someone doesn't feel comfortable to yet have sex it should be used as something to belittle them? +That' s right, I love everyone and each and everyone of you ...... +For those that never heard of the elias story made by him: [linebreak] https://www.reddit.com/r/quityourbullshit/comments/a6km1m/weve_been_duped_here_on_rquityourbullshit/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=creepyPMs&utm_content=t1_eib62qh [linebreak] [linebreak] He now posted something on r/creepypm's and made another fake convo for karma: https://old.reddit.com/r/creepyPMs/comments/azwu9j/will_you_accept_my_sex_invitation/ [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Here are old examples of him trying to farm karma: [linebreak] https://old.reddit.com/r/cringepics/comments/8iuc1i/i_cant_believe_people_like_this_exist/ [linebreak] [linebreak] https://old.reddit.com/r/cringepics/comments/8485kt/how_do_these_guys_even_get_my_info/ [linebreak] [linebreak] https://old.reddit.com/r/cringepics/comments/846oxq/at_least_he_was_polite_about_it/ [linebreak] [linebreak] EDIT: looks like he just removed it, don't worry though he will pull out another fake karma story out of his ass on probably another sub besides r/creepypms r/cringepics r/quityourbullshit +https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/b3y1wz/lil_doing_a_goofy_smile/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share +recommendations? +I wish I were kidding. I can't link names anymore because I don't want to get suspended for mentioning this user *again*, but I had a very high karma thread here removed by the Anti-Evil team that posted a PM conversation between me and [highest karma user] where he outed himself (jocularly or not) as a paid advertiser for companies, etc., and well... [linebreak] [linebreak] I got suspended for seven days for "Harassment". [linebreak] [linebreak] Today on the **sixth day** it was finally reversed via appeal. My appeal was simple. There is no harassment if someone messages **YOU** and never ONCE indicates in the messages that they wish to stop receiving messages. That very clearly means they WANT to keep talking to you. [linebreak] [linebreak] Not once did [highest karma user] *ever* indicate he didn't want to receive further messages from me! In fact, the last PM I had sent him was to never contact me again, which he somewhat complied with, well, until he had his cronies (the Reddit admins) falsely suspend me. [linebreak] [linebreak] Posting private messages (of which he was going to do anyway, evident by how he used it to rally brigades against me and many others) is a bit crass but **not** against the rules whatsoever. [linebreak] [linebreak] tl;dr: Do **NOT** talk to power users or anyone who may have an agenda against you. Reddit admins don't actually look at harassment reports---they just take them at face value and assume the report is true. An appeal will likely be listened to at some point if you're not being a tool within it and **have clear and concise proof that they not only initiated conversation but never said "stop talking to me" or anything to that effect**, but it'll be near the end of the suspension anyway. +Thread: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Cringetopia/comments/b9vo8w/creepy/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cringetopia/comments/b9vo8w/creepy/) [linebreak] [linebreak] Uncensored thread: [https://snew.notabug.io/r/Cringetopia/comments/b9vo8w/creepy/](https://snew.notabug.io/r/Cringetopia/comments/b9vo8w/creepy/) [linebreak] [linebreak] Background: this was a thread about the time the Powerpuff Girls featured a character based on one of their writers.

By soulmate I don't mean perfect, I mean like mostly compatible and wants the same things I want and there's this connection. I don't get why I haven't found him yet, it's annoying because my standards aren't like high (i don't care about looks or money or that stuff), it's more so i want his personality to be specific to mine.

[linebreak] [linebreak] In late January, my dad had a massive heart attack and almost died before his 50th birthday. He had 3 clogged arteries, 100%, 85% and another 70 ish %. My heart was so fucking crushed when I saw him the ICU, all pale, IVs sticking out every which way, and a giant feeding tube shoved down his throat. That week, was probably the worst week in my entire life. [linebreak] [linebreak] All in the months of May and June; my childhood dog died at 13, right before her birthday in July. [linebreak] [linebreak] I had to re-home my lizard because I am moving and she means literally so much to me. I fucking bawled even thinking about her leaving my home. Luckily she went to a good family friend, but it's like parting from my child for me. [linebreak] [linebreak] I got into a big fight with my old best friend and they said some really cruel and nasty things about me and I honestly don't know when that wound will heal for me. [linebreak] [linebreak] My therapist from since I was 2 years old, has cancer. It rapidly approached and in just a month she went from active and clear headed, to being at the point where she can no longer take care of herself and needs daily assistance. [linebreak] [linebreak] During this entire year, I think I've been abusing a substance, using it as a crutch. I want to get help, but I also don't want to necessarily stop altogether. [linebreak] [linebreak] So basically that was my year (so far). I have to admit, there have been some really wonderful things that have happened, but it's hard to enjoy them. I mean, this year will always be branded into my brain (The most being my father's near death experience).

It can be a good thing and a bad thing, and for people who are sensitive, for one, things might feel bad quicker than for others. But that doesn't mean that the pain they're suffering is less "bad" for them - as you said. Because that's how they perceive and feel it, so that's absolute reality for them, even if objectively the issue isn't as bad. They still have to live through it. They have to go through the exact pain someone less sensitive would have to go through because of an objectively worse issue. (Most?) People experience life subjectively. The limit to feeling a certain amount of pain for someone sensitive might be lower than for someone less sensitive. But it doesn't mean it's less real, it doesn't mean they're in need of less support and understanding and empathy. It's the same, felt, pain. Often, a sensitive person will feel happiness quicker and easier too. Does that mean they are, really, less happy than a less sensitive person?

[linebreak] [linebreak] Most of the post there devolve into arguments about nothing. +No one said "questioning the accuracy and reliability of animal testing based on the findings of over 20 scientific papers" makes you a "preachy vegan." What shows that you have an "ax" to grind is exactly what I pointed out: misconstruing the respondent's response to mean what you want it to mean instead of what it actually said and using emotionally charged rhetoric like "vivesectionist" to describe the respondent when you have no idea whether or not their work involves cutting animals. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think that was very plainly stated in my last post and you're being purposely obtuse so that you can redirect the conversation the way you would like it to go. Given your previous escapades into rhetorical chicanery it's not surprising, but you shouldn't expect anyone to take you seriously when you play dumb and pretend you really don't understand the responses you get. [linebreak] [linebreak] +Amazing how the Chicago media seems to actually have the skills to conduct journalism, unlike the national media. +That's a yikes from me. You've really fucked up if the Daily Beast isn't supporting your supposed oppression. +When the extra police work appears in the form of racist profiling then yeah, obviously +happens a lot more than people like to admit +Here's where I think the distinction lies - I may be wrong, and call me out if you want, but here goes: [linebreak] [linebreak] So, believe all victims is a good and noble idea at a basic level. When a victim of a crime comes forward, the people that they trust should absolutely support them, and help them get help and try to make it as easy as possible to get the police involved - not necessarily influence them to go to the authorities, but that's where crimes *should* go, for a number of reasons. [linebreak] [linebreak] This becomes a less tenable position when a) the justice system gets involved and b) when there are real world consequences for leveling an accusation. [linebreak] [linebreak] With the Jussie Smollett case, we see both of those in play. When the police investigation unfolded, they were able to put forth compelling evidence against his claim. The second set is more nuanced, but this is how I see it: His claims had a major effect to divide the country. Seeing these claims would have such an effect, it gives us good reason to scrutinize his story. When we scrutinize the story, we find some major holes (two maga people out after 2 in intensely cold weather, in Chicago, apparently knowing where Smollett was, and being prepared for that confrontation, his refusal to hand over his phone, he walked home and waited 40 minutes or so before calling the police) and we have a good reason to step back a bit from the narrative and wait for an investigation to conclude before deciding. [linebreak] [linebreak] In short, believe all victims is a good idea, but it becomes more nuanced when there are real consequences that may hurt or jail others, at which time we should scrutinize the story or let the professionals do their job. +It sounds good in theory, but it's a terrible idea when it comes to law. There are two sides to every story. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you think we should completely believe every rape victim, look up Ronald Cotton. That is a case where the victim THOUGHT she was telling the truth but her memory failed her. Evidence is so important, but to even suggest that nowadays causes outrage. +Some years ago Laci Greene made a video all about how important it is to trust the victim. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm still waiting for the many thousands of people who were brave enough to admit, in the comments, that Laci Greene had raped them to receive the attention and support they deserve. [linebreak] [linebreak] The **reality** is that **everyone** who goes into toxic-overdrive (and it IS toxic) when accusations are leveled only do so because it panders to their biases. [linebreak] [linebreak] Now that Smollett has been charged I can say that there was nothing **remotely** credible about his claims. It was possible that what he said had happened, but extremely unlikely. [linebreak] [linebreak] Anyone who immediately believed him was, at best, a credulous fool. And at worst they were bigoted pieces of shit who just loved the opportunity to spread more hate. +Honestly, that's less of a problem right now, IMO, as destruction of a person's reputation through the media right now. Which I think is where the second point I tried, clumsily as I did, to make. +Nah it's definitely his blog lmao. +IIRC, those were based on the number not proven false. +Which means it's at MOST 98% and 91% respectively. +And OP is Swedish? +I was accosted walking down the road yesterday.

[linebreak] [linebreak] PM me for paypal details if you want to give me money. +Believe all victims is good, but we must recognize that once a false accusation against someone is made, they become the victim. And when there are multiple people claiming to be victims to each other, no legal punishments should apply before it's certain what happened. +Burqa doesn't agree. +Quint,Scroll,The Wire broke out from NDTV after NDTV took some damage by regularly targeting the PM.

The funny thing about the whole incident was that A LOT of older posters and the mods liked, and did not disagree, with my post. But, they claimed that there were MANY who didn't and after months of being told I was an awesome mod, they were suddenly changing the rules and trying to MAKE drama out of a post where I essentially said, "act like an adult and understand that people disagree now and then." Ironic, no? As far as everything else goes, I was offered the chance to stay on as a mod...but, with no posting power. I chose to leave because it made no sense that a post that didn't break the TOS and was well received by the majority of the community would earn a punishment. When certain forum members started sharing details that should've remained within the four mods...I bounced because it was clear that information was being shared with non-mods, but friends of mods. In fact, I was happy to stay quiet and allow bygones to be bygones until I noted that the person who created the most drama was running her mouth in other places trying to bad mouth me. Whatever ,it's reddit, but there's not enough time in the day to dedicate yourself to silencing someone because you want to be snarkier than everyone else. I wish that forum nothing but good things and I'm disappointed it went down the way it did. +You're welcome. Honestly, the other mods WERE fine with the post and said so via written language. It didn't get taken down until an older mod, who'd frankly never said much at all to me before that day, perceived some of the old guard getting upset and feeling that I was out of line for suggesting that, as adults, we should be grown up enough to block those we don't want to read and stop nitpicking on EACH OTHER. The forum was for Duggar snark...not to rate the level of snark that is permissible from others. That message was received, by some, as pot stirring. I still wish everyone well. +The same reason SRD exists. There's something delightful about watching a trainwreck in progress. +What a mess! Sigh...I liked some things about the sub but I think I just need to unsubscribe. Too much drama and turmoil, lol. It sounds like you made the right decision by bowing out. +a trivial exercise +Nice to meet you too. You never got anything from me because I don't run the sub. I handed it over early on. I was talking about the original mods. I'm a member like everyone else since then. I put my opinion on your post. I did think at that point the post was overkill because the other sub had been made already.

It's ridiculous. Not saying stuff like that doesn't happen, but the story hit *all* the notes. +I commented there about politicians calling people to violence and harassment, proceeded to be banned for "trolling" despite no such behavior. In fact, we were having a decent discussion until the tyrannical mods came along. +With that reasoning is there then ever a logical reason to do anything? If life is just suffering and not worth living, shouldn't we all just kill ourselves? +That's one possible interpretation you could take. You could also argue that doing so would be even worse than dying of natural causes, thus it would make sense to never procreate but also not make sense for some sort of universal drinking of the kool-aid to occur. +Sauce? +The Left: Facebook's Fake News and Russian shillbots stole the election from Hillary!!

Inshallah. +Good handwriting. +Sorry to hear you're struggling with this! Yeah I need to practice the phone thing. I feel guilt for even doing that. +Honestly, you absolutely have heard logical reasons for having kids,.unless you've never listened to other people speak. Disagreeing with the logic is fine and a defensible position, but it's still on some level logical. [linebreak] [linebreak] For instance, the good outweighs the bad with regards to living. There is logic in that statement, even though it runs directly counter to yours, and it is a reason for having kids. +Think you may have missed the point of Bohemian Rhapsody a bit +Ok to be honest, we don't know your life. But you don't know everyone elses, and even if your personal experience justifies never wanting to have existed, that doesn't apply to every other living being. +Similar here, I was raised in a big family except I was the youngest. Nothing about it makes me want to have children. I understand that some people had terrific family lives where their parents taught them all kinds of interpersonal skills and were nurturing, etc... but that was far from my experience and I don't have those things internalized to pass on. I've gotten very good with my cat though, as a middle aged man and I'm nurturing to her, but she's far less demanding than a child or children and I can afford her much more easily. [linebreak] [linebreak] I dated a lot previously and grew a lot as a person and had some peak experiences but had a lot of bad experiences with women who had hidden agendas, issues with dishonesty, cheating, gaslighting, etc... so I gave it up and now focus on my job, friends and hobbies and I'm more consistently happy than I've ever been in my life overall. +[Parcel is the actual expression though](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/part_and_parcel) +As a fellow Gorillaz fan, I salute you. +This was so well put. Whenever I say that emotional availability in parenting should been an expectation, not an exception, I get weird looks. Just because you provide food, shelter, clothing, etc, does not make you a "good" parent. I am eternally grateful that my parents provided for me, especially since some people have to grow up not having those things, but I sure as hell would've dodged a lot of emotional pain and trauma if I could've confided in my parents without backlash. +I'm not the of poster.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Paticulalry not in todays hellworld. Idk how you can possibly bring a kid in this world when shit like global warming will fuck us all over in incredibly painful ways. +Yes, but the vast majority of people do not in fact want to die in a nuclear holocaust, so how can you justify killing them. +For me as a guide, y'all can see me now cause you don't see with your eye you perceive with your mind +There is no death without life, or life without death. [linebreak] [linebreak] It perpetuates the cycle of life. [linebreak] [linebreak] If the horror of death is the absence of life, then doesn't that viewpoint automatically bow to the value of life? [linebreak] [linebreak] You contradict yourself. Rethink your nutty worldview. +Imagine thinking there are still good humans in 2019. Please lol +Haha, if you can't recognize nuance or weigh different factors to come to a conclusion you are literally incapable of reason or logic. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you are alive, you can enjoy a delicious slice of pizza. Therefore by your logic, I have found one reason to exist, ergo the only possible conclusion is that you should have children. [linebreak] [linebreak] In reality, the challenges or bad parts of life do not outweigh the good. Either way, you have provided no valid or reasonable arguments addressing that. +But everything natural is evil. Nature is the source of mortality, of death. Nature is an endless charnel house of decay, a mountain of corpses. Biology tricks us into perpetuating the cycle with dopamine and serotonin. [linebreak] [linebreak] We need to rise above it, either by becoming transhumanists who exist in robot bodies or as disembodied brains, which won't happen, or using our intellect to destroy nature and the human species. [linebreak] [linebreak] Perusing sex, good food, etc is just giving into the death urge. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm not an incel, I've had sex and relationships. But it's just... meat interacting with other meat. +I've seen every therapist in my city. I'm seeing 4 right now. Nothing will make me okay with my mortality. +Since when is a nuanced component of a single religion "non-arguable fact"? [linebreak] [linebreak] Pick a different religion if you're unhappy with your own. Not that you understand Buddhism because the conclusions of Buddhist beliefs are vastly different from yours. +The Axis were less morally grey than the Allies. They were almost pure evil +Keep trying, there's hope. Maybe stick with one at a time. [linebreak] [linebreak] I personally am very conscious of my mortality, I understand that I will die - sooner, later, usually far more suddenly than you'd expect. I don't drive because of near death experiences driving, I'm cautious of stairs because those motherfuckers are out to get you, I've had life threatening illnesses, people close to me who have died etc. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm very aware of my coming end, and yet find peace with it and live my life regardless. Others do as well. You're not alone in recognizing mortality, why do you think it's impossible to find peace with it? +But most will +Creating more life is perpetuating the cycle of death. You're creating a being doomed to die. Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death calls that an 'immortality icon'. It won't save you [linebreak] [linebreak] And none of that stuff is meaningful. 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my work, ye mighty, and despair' etc [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't wanna achieve immortality through my work. I wanna achieve immortality through not dying - woody Allen +You're literally creating a being who's going to die. That's murder +I think you just take pleasure in perpetuating your fatalistic spiral here. [linebreak] [linebreak] That's fine, do what floats your boat, just don't advocate genocide or suicide in the process. Don't pretend like you can't fathom or accept that others would want to live their lives a different way. +My friends dont get this. Most of them came from lower middle class families and I'm upper middle class with a college fund, my parents planned ahead and I'm lucky. But they act like my life has been a fucking cake walk because the hardest thing they ever faced was student loans. I can literally count on my hands the number of times my parents have said they loved me and like they all have very loving families. +You don't even need the correction for this to be Grade A tumblr stupidity. The context does make it sweeter though. +Yay Duggar drama. +>They will also have fun and live [linebreak] > [linebreak] >Something doesn't have to be 100 percent all good to be worthwhile [linebreak] [linebreak] Which would mean NOT creating as much life as possible would be immoral. Not saying that's what I think, it's just not a good counterargument imho. [linebreak] [linebreak] Personally I'm fine going with having the axiom "having humans exist is good" as a "counterargument" to anti-natalism. +Global warming and the revival of facsism. +I ain't happy I'm feeling glad +Small things like asking them about their day and listening to what they have to say without judgement build trust and a healthy relationship. +Well, technically, some people don't consider it a science, because it doesn't use the scientific method. It's more of an extension of logic. Science never proves anything, while math does it all the time. +i dont understand +Accountants, auditors and registered nurses aren't exactly what one would consider STEM. +They're closely linked, but different. +Nobody with a right mind should care about '[JOB/FIELD] is dominated by men'. It has nothing to with gender, it's about the he performance of the individuals. If a man does it better than a woman it's obvious to go for the man, if a women does it better pick the woman. Not that hard +At the end"har har modi". +Disagree. Sorry, not a nurse so I hope I'm not civillian splaining here but... [linebreak] You have to learn a lot of biology and other sciences to do it, and learn to use a lot of Technology. Everyone who has a degree to work in allied healthcare, even if what they actually do is mostly physical, has to at least make use of science, technology, and math. It just doesn't require the higher level of understanding that being a doctor does. But I think to say nursing isn't a science is to discredit it. They have done experiments and they have academic journals, there's a lot of science in things like making sure germs don't spread from patient to patient. All the practical stuff nurses think is "common sense" is on a foundation of science. Like germ theory. +And what about Noodle? She's not white. It's like the most diverse band there is +Except ugly, poor, boring, and toxic people get laid all the time. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] We really need to stop shaming virgins and sluts. Doing so makes one an piece of shit. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin, and there is nothing sacred about it either. Same with not being a virgin, or sleeping with a lot of people. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] +If nearly half of the Bio Science field is women I still wouldn't consider it being 'dominated' by men. Is it still more men than women? Of course, but dominated? Unless I'm misunderstanding the definition, dominated is relative to having power than quantity. What if a lab is staffed by 20 men and one woman? You'd think it'd be male dominated, right? But what if that one woman is the lead tech and direct supervisor to all the men? Is it still a male dominated lab? +There could be a higher purpose. Certainly there is societal purpose, but I'm not sure about much. But I respect your opinion. +True. But from a logical view, a virgin is incompetent to attract a mate which is why they are a virgin.

Ugly and awkward people get laid all the time ffs. [linebreak] [linebreak] The issue is shaming people for sexual items that are of no consequence. Shame someone because they have a sex life by calling them sluts, or calling those without sex lives basement dwelling virgins, is still shaming people about their sexual situation and is only what fucking shitheads and morons still do. [linebreak] [linebreak] +The great god eros and aphrodite have seduced mega amounts of people into falsehoods. One can actually love others without seeing them as sexual conquests or something to feed their lust. Sort of like sexual parasites or vampires. +Agreed tbh. No one should be pressured into sexual activity, be it by an individual or by a society. I'll say it- I'm a virgin! And quite frankly, I don't know if I'll ever *not* be a virgin. But that's completely by choice and honestly I'm proud of that.

If I'm gonna throw money at a Marvel movie this spring it's going to be End Game +Okay, okay, okay. [linebreak] [linebreak] • First of all, the backlash about Captain Marvel doesn't stem from the fact that's it's a first MCU movie with a female protagonist. It comes from the fact that MCU literally shoved that narrative down everyone's throats because *everyone needs to be 10.000% aware that it's a WOMAN AND WOMEN ARE STRONG AND WOMEN FIGHTERS ARE POWERFUL AND GOOD AS MEN!* They campaigned the shit out of that narrative, and Brie Larson's virtue signalling commentary shortly before release did not help. It's not the movie that's the problem, it's the PR campaign that butchered the narrative of a female hero protagonist, and when the negative reviews started coming out, they censored them, because God forbid anyone has genuine criticism about the movie. [linebreak] [linebreak] • Second of all, did you forget about other female superhero or general female hero movies, or comics, or books? Hellooooo....we can all name over a dozen hero protagonists that are women, no matter if Marvel, or DC, or any general media, and they have been around for decades.

Dysphoria can be defined in a non medical way. Such as "the condition of feeling one's emotional and psychological identity as male or female to be opposite to one's biological sex." it's weird that such an intersectional definition comes (besides the fact that it ignores nonbinaries) is from the racist and sexist Google dictionary that says sexism can apply to men and racism can apply to white people. [linebreak] [linebreak] 2. Dysphoria is the will to be the opposite gender and transgender is the will to be the opposite gender. You might notice that it is the same thing. It is like calling the size of paper a "non-ledger tabloid" (don't get me started about paper sizes) [linebreak] [linebreak] 3. It makes dysphoria meaningless. Thousands of people are dysphoric and suffer from it. Even the broad dysphoria definition proposed ontop can cause psychological problems. Why make the word meaningless? [linebreak] [linebreak] 4. (mostly a counter to point 6) most transphobic people's argument is "you gender is unrelated to how you feel". The word Dysphoria helps people understand that it is a quantifiable studied phenomenon. What do you think will generate more transphobia, saying gender is a feeling or saying gender is a mental state. [linebreak] [linebreak] 5. I don't believe in cultural appropriation but I assume the Tumblr person does. So is non dysphoric transgenderism not appropriated transgenderism? +>The suit also states that Heard's abuse allegations "have been conclusively refuted by two separate responding police officers, a litany of neutral third-party witnesses, and 87 newly obtained surveillance camera videos."

I mean if you really have 87 separate surveillance videos corroborating your story that's not something you lie about. +I demand trial by combat +After seeing the video of him drunk/high and at least verbally abusing her I'm not ready to write off her claims. But I'm also giving him the benefit of the doubt about his claims until it gets a thorough investigation itself. If what he's claiming about all his evidence is true that should clear things up as soon as it officially comes out rather than just potential claims. [linebreak] [linebreak] When the claims are this serious everybody deserves to have their story thoroughly investigated. +Elon was "consoling" her while she was married to Depp. +It's certainly an interesting perspective... I know several people who are trans and the opinion seems to be a bit split; some of them think you aren't trans if you don't have dysphoria, others believe you can be neutral as your assigned gender and happy as your new one which means you don't need dysphoria per se. [linebreak] I think a lot of the conflicts on this issue come from what someone encompasses when referring to "gender dysphoria". +Because then, he would have no ability to prove he wasn't the abuser. +Because abusers are really good at controlling their victims.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Ive noticed a strong trend in a lot of comedic movies, especially when surrounding sex. Multiple movies will have a scene where the man is put into a scenario where he doesnt want sex or to be touched, but the woman will persist to the point where it is 100% rape, but the way the scene is set, it makes you believe its comedic. But switch the roles where a woman is not wanting the sexual advances and then the audience gasps and feel disturbed. And its completely the fault of the writers. Continuing a trend where its comedic when a man doesnt want it. [linebreak] [linebreak] Thats not to say that there isnt comedic value in a "get me the fuck outta here, this isnt what i signed up for" type of scene. But the manner in which the scenes provoke sex, and then masked with comedy, starts a problem.

Then there was a post that hit the top that was just a selfie of an overweight dude that said he was planning to buy a gym membership. [linebreak] [linebreak] Devoid of any context this photos aren't interesting in the least. Voters seem to prefer these uninteresting backstory posts while people who actively comment do not.

Of course it's rational to think that some random dude debunked decades and centuries of science with the sheer power of his mind" [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I mean assuming the dude was fairly rational at some point he had to have taken some classes in these fields right? So did he just assume that because he didn't have to study to get a B- in Gen Ed sociology that he debunked the field? Did he ask leading questions trying to "prove" their professor didn't know what they were talking about and was shut down and that's why he thinks he debunked *entire fields*? Did he just never ask any questions and assume that he was smarter? Why did he "study" so many fields? Why just these social science? Is he smart enough to debunk all these but economics and history are valid? What are the differences between the ones he liked and the ones he doesn't? *How* would he study 8+ fields well enough that he felt he has a basic grasp of it let alone enough knowledge to again *completely debunk centuries worth of research* just because he felt like it.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] That was easy. +I like how you miss the point. A black conservative isn't a token by default. T hats stupid. I would probably say that Ben Carson or Clarence Thomas aren't token black conservatives because they don't make it their number one thing. [linebreak] [linebreak] Wow. You just lost the bet. It's like how Blair White isn't a token trans conservative. She is just a conservative who happens to be trans. There is a difference. If I go around flaunting myself as a gay conservative as like this amazing thing that I'm gay, and a conservative, that's me being a token.

But I get what OP is saying because every once in a while I like to go through my post history (I think I'm fuckin hilarious lmao, I can read something I've posted a couple weeks ago and still think I'm funny hahahaha) but when I see a post that I took a long time to write that is buried in a thread with just my own upvote, or in threads where the OP hasn't replied to anyone, or to many people but not me, stuff like that, I get kinda bummed out. [linebreak] [linebreak] On the other hand I love seeing the inbox button lit up and it turning out to be a thoughtful comment that makes me think a reply through so it balances out, but if reddit was just people who don't reply I'd bother a lot less and end up deleting before sending much more often than I do now (and I do it quite often) +I think you need to think about your audience when you're making those comments, instead of taking it personally. [linebreak] [linebreak] In a subreddit about anxiety, maybe they are too anxious to respond. Maybe they are busy fighting with anxiety and don't want to type out a long response to you. Maybe they read your post, appreciated it, and then the thought of getting help overwhelmed them. Maybe they never saw it at all because they panicked and logged out after posting. [linebreak] [linebreak] In a subreddit about depression, maybe they are too depressed to respond. Maybe they are busy fighting depression. Maybe they appreciated your post, but can't gather the energy/motivation to type a response to it. Maybe they feel they've already wasted enough of your time. [linebreak] [linebreak] In a confession subreddit (or one like this one), people aren't necessarily posting for your input. Maybe they just need to write it down and get it out there. Sometimes a person doesn't want advice in that case, so replying saying "thanks for the advice!" feels fake. Maybe they completely disagree with everything you've said and don't want to be petty and be like "Thanks but nothing you said is right and you're not helping at all". Or, maybe they read and appreciate the advice, but they don't think thanking everyone who gives unsolicited advice is a good idea. [linebreak] [linebreak] All of those are subreddit-specific reasons, but there's also reasons like... maybe they got a lot of responses and don't want to reply 20 times saying "Thanks!". Maybe your comment is identical to 5 other people and they've already explained/answered your questions elsewhere and don't want to do it again. Maybe they intend to reply, but get interrupted and forget. Maybe they don't see replying to random reddit people as a priority. [linebreak] [linebreak] In short, it's probably not personal. Just relax. No one is an asshole just because they don't thank you for your advice. Your advice should be like a gift - they don't owe you anything in return, and if they do, it's not really a gift. +It's not about you. Whom ever you are responding to doesn't have an obligation to respond to your response. Try not being so self absorbed. You said yourself these posts are serious & someone's in a bad place. JFC, they didn't make a post to comfort you. +This is too far +If you're looking for a response you are replying for the wrong reason +If you're offering advice to people just to get recognition that you're doing a good deed, you're in the wrong. They have no obligation to respond to you, whether it's a simple thank you or something more in depth. Leaving a well thought out response on a serious topic is a thankless act. You should be doing it purely out of consideration for OP. [linebreak] [linebreak] Should we get pissed at you for not responding to all of our comments on your post u/Sandman1025?... ^((noooooooooo)) +You're still not providing any proof that this image led to your temp suspension. +I don't post any violent content that would warrant a whole reddit suspension. I've had my other alt account permanently banned for posting the NZ vid, so I know to be careful with the admins and their sensitive feelings +That is a legitimate point that I get because I also deal with anxiety. Mine has nothing to do with commenting online though so I guess I did not think that could be an issue for some people. Thank you. +If I can find the flavors I'll post that too +Lol. You got downvoted now too. I don't care about fake Internet points but the herd mentality always cracks me up. +So whiny +I mean, I'm not entirely sure that's the point. The targs are all sorts of Jacked up, I mean even Dany is some sort of somewhat benevolent murder monster. Jon got dem strong stark genes and managed to kick the crazy for the most part... and just inherited the "I'm such a good guy I'm too dumb to understand reality syndrome" [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] but I think GUUUUUUUUUUURM might have a think for it, that and... really really describing feasts. +Obviously, Reddit user names aren't generally a useful way to judge people, but this is one of those exceptions where I fucking know exactly who this guy is just from the fact that he calls himself "RationalHumanist." +I get that and I probably should've been more clear in my post. Sometimes it's clear someone is just venting or getting some things off their chest. I usually comment more on the ones that ask for advice or where I really relate to the situation they are in. +I have responded to the lengthier, well thought out comments . Because I appreciate the feedback, even if it is negative. And for the 50th time, I don't respond seeking validation or recognition but I think it is a common courtesy to thank someone for their input when you are seeking advice. +Danny isn't really "mad" though in the sense of the Mad King and Geoffry. She's more of a product of her enviroment. She understands that if you show any weakness there will always be those to exploit that. [linebreak] [linebreak] John Snow is just the lawful stupid paladin +I hope that I am. That's why I continue to write them. Especially on posts that have not gotten much love in the way of responses. I don't bother responding on post with 20+ comments as that person has already gotten tons of advice. +Dude dinosaurs lmao +I see that you are new to the Internet. +You responded before I finished my edit about power imbalances. I imagine they definitely come hand in hand with a lot of incestuous relationships, but like, power imbalances are a thing in *a ton* of non-incestuous relationships as well. I think it's hard to say that it's a problem that is particular to incest between relatives of similar ages. [linebreak] [linebreak] > Inbreeding is more harmful as a practice than the individual instances. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think that's fair, but that seems like more of a pragmatic argument to put prohibitions on it than a moral argument against its practice. It seems to me like at the end of the day the issue is still that by having sex two relatives increase the risk of health problems in future generations. This effect is compounded by successive generations of incest in a way that could be *especially* harmful, but idk it seems to me like if you're going to argue that incest on the whole is immoral that need to apply to individual instances and not just multigenerational practices. [linebreak] [linebreak] > Though on a related note: This movie is hilariously bad. [linebreak] [linebreak] Can you imagine what it must have felt like to be Gary Oldman, standing on your knees while getting ready to do a scene with Peter Dinklage? Like, just cast Peter Dinklage as the lead, his French accent is pitiful anyways! +>Same thing goes for power dynamics and grooming. These are problems independent of incest, and ones aren't inherent if you're talking about similarly aged cousins or siblings. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't see your point. Both implications of this view sound correct to me. Yes, it means incest is not wrong in and of itself, but only as a side-effect of being a power imbalance, and it means relatives who grew up sufficiently apart that they don't have a family power dynamic is morally fine. You seem to treat those like they count against this reasoning but I don't see why. +Yeah, I've always been of the opinion that if they're consenting adults, I genuinely couldn't give a fuck what they do in the bedroom. +I felt like that too, but my friend always tell me: "I found my soulmate, and now I feel trapped." +>You won't believe what he said about Arun Jaitley Click here!)

From what I've read inbreeding really mostly a problem under certain circumstances. Such as either long term inbreeding (Hapsburgs represent) or when both parents carry some kind of recessive trait that would be harmful but could be tested for. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't think there's actually all that much risk for a single instance of inbreeding. Two cousins having a baby isn't going to spontaneously result in lobster-claws. [linebreak] [linebreak] But I could be wrong, I just did some quick googling again and didn't come up with anything that makes it seem like you are guaranteed to have a water-baby or something. +Indeed. Dogs were the REAL villains all along! /s +If the issues with interbreeding was such an issue we would have so many more problems in the Middle East and such because cousin marriages over there aren't that unusual (which as an Arab living in the USA was weird until i read it's like a 2% or something increase in birth defects for cousin marriages) and mostly a result of the arranged marriages stuff. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's almost always when you have siblings or parent-child and that's more of a risk of recessive traits being amplified. It's the successive and repeated incest that usually is what causes major problems. Cousin marriages only increase the chances of birth defects from 2%-3% to 6%-7% [linebreak] [linebreak] The focus on birth defects usually are mislead and unfortunately changes the discussion from "these marriages are bad because of power dynamic" to "its bad to the child's health" which tends to ignore basic genetics and biology and weakens the argument.

Do they think a man isn't a mammal because he doesn't produce milk for young? +>FALSE: "Period." is not a sentence. It's called grammar: learn it, and people might take you seriously. [linebreak] [linebreak] Dwight shrute with the zinger response. +Wonderful I don't like any of these people. +I live in Utah, where the polygamy a couple generations ago has created some interesting population dynamics. You had these huge families where everyone was related to at least one person, and that's ended up inescapably propagating down the line because most people are still living and marrying in the same part of the state their ancestors were. It's also why the LDS church keeps a huge geneology database - back when it was established they were trying to figure out who was related to who. [linebreak] [linebreak] Anecdotally my brother married a distant cousin without realizing it (their kids are fine fortunately), and I've got some other cousins who are having a lot of children with cleft palates and hip dysplasia problems, and I suspect they're probably related on some level as well. 2-3% increase in birth defects doesn't seem like it's so bad until you see it happening to people you know and you see the pain and the costs. [linebreak] [linebreak] That said, they have every right to keep having kids as is the mormon wont, and they'll just keep paying for the surgeries on infants. I suppose it's similar for other people who find they're both at an increased risk for deformity even without the ancestral relations.

He was fairly well liked once, his madness grew gradually with age. +and he's not even right. a single word statement can still technically be a sentence as long as it has subject and predicate, and words can be both because the English language is a fucking mess. +But what if he wakes up in the morning, with a prolapsed anal fissure, and a massive hangover, and a hundred texts from his bf saying "Where are you? PLS reply." and then says its pingrape? +Maybe you can't. That's the thing. You can't make anyone happy. That's something they need to discover on their own. They might be able to travel that path while still being in a relationship with you, and they might not be able to. Trust yourself and determine what you can handle. [linebreak] [linebreak] Meanwhile, and whatever you decide, try being assertive without being aggressive when it comes to talking with her about how you are feeling. Try to take the emotion out of it, while also being compassionate to her needs (she has them, too, and if you care about her, it's best to take those needs into consideration). [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I only learned these valuable lessons after the fact. It hurt like a son-of-a-bitch and to be honest, I'm not keen to go through a relationship like that again. But what I can tell you is that I should have been more insistent that we talk. And if that talk wasn't productive to making me feel valued, I would have asked her to leave. This is something you should consider as well.

I don't care if you get a raise because I'm busy trying to get one for myself +The literal slogan for the left is "resist" not even any direction just fight everything and anything. +You don't even get the scam right. The scam was that Trump and the republicans did away with tax breaks that were a direct benefit to well-off blue state residents ***after*** cutting taxes across the board. That way their red state supporters see the benefit of the tax cut, but blue state residents start getting pissed because they can no longer deduct the ridiculously high state taxes they pay. That leads to happy red state supporters that show up at the polls for the GOP in the next election. That also leads to a lot of people in blue states asking why their taxes are so much higher than the taxes in the neighboring red states, which does not play out well for democrats. [linebreak] [linebreak] The real fun is going to start when Trump does the 2.0 version of this tax "reform" and starts sending illegals to sanctuary cities/states. The red state people will cheer, the blue state people who advocated for unchecked immigration will turn on their representatives as soon as their NIMBY senses activate. +Not when trump supporters like the message +lmao this might be my favorite reddit canard, by outside of america, you mean a select few countries in western europe and even then its dubious +Only 44 pct of people don't pay federal income tax.

The media doesn't actually care about trans people, it just cares that they can spin it either into a sob story or something about how trans people are wrong in the head depending on the political views of the outlet. [linebreak] [linebreak] Plus, transgender people *are* a high-risk population for suicide, so it makes sense that there's special attention for how to reduce transgender suicide rates from charities/academia. Higher risks require greater research and resources to reduce than lower risks, so I think it makes sense that high-risk populations are given special attention. ~~Except when they're not, because the NHS denies many transgender people any sort of support outside of GICs, and since GIC waiting lists are often 2+ years long that means the NHS it means people experiencing problems such as suicidal ideation as a result of dysphoria receive no help for 2 years.~~ That said, we definitely need to do a lot more to reduce suicide rates of everyone, because not enough is being done for anyone. +There is nothing wrong with people not sharing your views.

Like the people joking about English teachers reaching for meanings/symbols are probably in primary education themselves. [linebreak] [linebreak] I mean English teachers usually choose books with heavy use of symbols to *teach* symbolism. Most students are just too dense to get it until they are lead by the hand. [linebreak] [linebreak] It might also explain why so many people on Reddit don't get the concept of Dog-whistles. The idea that words or symbols can mean more than what's written or seen is something they simply don't have the education to grasp. +[https://i.imgur.com/ctuBWkW.png](https://i.imgur.com/ctuBWkW.png) +I have almost posted that exact detail many times but figured it was too obvious.

Like, they wanted to believe that Tolkien didn't even accidentally happen to describe the orcs as industrious or that the bad humans tend to be brown. These people absolutely exist. Same type who think their opinions aren't political, but others' views with whom they disagree with are. +Also, don't forget, FEMA are the bad guys.

Ticket sales have a lower profit margin (from a purchase v sales perspective) but a much higher volume wrt total revenue [linebreak] [linebreak] The problem is so many other factors are not accounted for, not the least of which a large theater chain having a lot to gain from inflating profits from ticket sales.

Once someone believes that something is a reference or has a deeper meaning, it's really hard to prove them wrong, even if they don't have any evidence or compelling reason. I'd like to think the burden of proof is on the people trying to prove a connection, but from my experience, it's almost always my burden to try to disprove even the flimsiest connections.

[linebreak] [linebreak] It's just that you could've gotten the same from a dozen other self-help books that don't come packaged with all the *other* Jordan Peterson stuff. Likewise TRP. Being confident and forward is great, and a shitton of self-help dudes will tell you that. Without adding that you should be confident because otherwise hypergamy will cause her hamster-wheel to spin, prompting a shit-test against which you won't maintain frame, and now she's cucking you because AWALT and you should've maintained dread. +Cool, go tell them that on posts that you find hateful. +bc metallica hi pata hai inko par master of puppets pata nahi hota hai. +Yep. But I had no trouble as I speak the local language. Profs used to fap seeing me. It's a great place, just way too over populated. +When I was in 6th grade, people were into Metallica almost exclusively. And guns and roses. +Metallica sucks megadeth's thrash metal arse +If you're not a lady or a gentleman, what are you? +>Clearly you haven't listened to much metal [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm not claiming I have. All I'm saying is that in rock, you have songs as different as Edge of desire, Bohemian Rhapsody, Cocaine, 21 Guns, Take it easy and Papercut all being classified as rock songs. Do you really have that kind of variety in metal? [linebreak] [linebreak] However, if you think that isn't the case, I'm perfectly willing to hear your reasoning. +Probably just chasing what they perceived to be their demographic. +Its just glitter bud +And she's at least engaging! Show you take a joke, take it as an opportunity to start a real conversation, and you have a good chance here. +Go support Maduro or something. +Lovely professional University +This. Everyone else has the problem, not them +I get what you meant. It's just stupid since each conversation has a bunch of different variables that change the context of the conversation. It's not comparable. +Seriously?? +Ah, I see it now. I read it as each image being seperate, might of been how the person read it. +Khaleesi is literally a skyrim character +Slow down, mama.

But Na it's easier just to scream racism and try to get paid for doing nothing. +I've never seen one. [linebreak] [linebreak] She still hasn't. That rope has a HUGE loop, looks more like a bowling, and hangs to inches off the floor. Might be useful as a work tool, would be shit for hanging though. +Also the swipes are not intended to be a rating on a scale of attractiveness. It's "I'm interested in chatting with you" and "I'm not interested in chatting with you". +Sounds like she's the victim of a lifetime of bad choices. +That is incredibly accurate. Damn. +>works in a factory [linebreak] [linebreak] Worked in a factory. She's been told not to come back. +Right. They just threw that statement out there with no citations. They're not fear mongering at all. +I feel for you, I haven't been to LA in 30 years, but to hear dr drew and Adam carolla talk about it it's in bad shape. Try and keep safe! +This is one of my favourite comments ever +Pokémon, that weapon of right-wing indoctrination +Whats this secret nazi message Nintendo is spreading tho?

[linebreak] [linebreak] You guys completely missed the point of the post because of one stupid sentence at the end. +It doesn't matter. You're deliberately misrepresenting what somebody said in order to demean them and treat them like shit. +I really hope Pornhub buys that site. +Well, my wife does have a Pikachu figure that looks like he's throwing the Nazi salute. +Hottest take to ever exist +The Alabama Men is a way better toy +What has the Pokemon company been using Pikachu to tell people? [linebreak] [linebreak] Like...I'm curious what this person thinks Pikachu is even brainwashing people into. +Yeah, but as long as you drink that kool-aid, they're *very* flexible. It's just really one belief. The barrier to entry is still low. +If pornhub buys Tumblr, it would probably implode +Wasn't there like a whole South Park episode about this? +Thought I was the only one. I'm hunting the comments to see if anyone deciphered it. +So...you posted Pepe to /r/antifastonetoss. +No, but you see, Pikachu is a Pokemon, right? And the Nazis killed lots of people, and because of my friendless childhood, you get it, right? +oh boy i remember that episode where pikachu and friends invaded poland, very memorable! +I sometimes wonder what kind of special idiot do you need to be to to think that Pikachu is Nazi? Lol [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I still don't like Pikachu because I love Raichu more (esp the Alola variant), but that doesnt mean that Pikachu is a Nazi +... sounds like their resentment is completely justified +You sayin' that Arnold (yes, Governator Arnold) is a hateful bigot? +Even with that as the case, it's still the same benefit. [linebreak] [linebreak] Even if it's about "reverse the power dynamic", there's no better way to reverse the dynamic than using them as your attack dogs, promising "well, if you do this for me, maybe I'll do THIS for YOU" in exchange. [linebreak] [linebreak] You'd think people this dedicated to social movements would know the first thing about "carrot and stick mentality". +This is why Verizon couldn't make money off of Tumblr. [linebreak] [linebreak] The faster it shuts down the better. A gaggle of self-righteous assholes. +Same. At first I thought I just misread it, but then I still had no clue the second time I read it.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I'm a piece of shit. +Your story is actually quite interesting, though I'm not really sure why. I think it's because I'm a total sucker for bittersweetness. [linebreak] [linebreak] Happy it all worked out for you, my dude. +Holy shit, this is one of the fakest things ive ever seen. Are redditors that gullible? +Dude was fired like a year ago by this company and then supposedly received this on insta. The other stuff (the death of his father etc) is just to make you feel worse. +Dude also has a post about a year ago about having f to be sent home for not being properly shaved (as per company policy). [linebreak] [linebreak] All around outstanding employee there fellas. +about 500.

They're making fun of you. +Uhh who defying science now? 4chan creates memes then r/The_Donald popularize them. When was the last fringe left meme that anyone cared about? +Regardless of your political affiliation, there is no denying that the right literally meme'd their way into the White House. +The Left and the Right create crappy memes when they're too political +Wouldn't that be cultural appropriation? +I don't recall ever being offended here. +The right wing memes successfully elected Donald Trump.

[linebreak] [linebreak] For example, our language has become much more violent, even if people are actually less violent. There was a time when communists and fascists used violent words and were actually violent. There were racists that did actually lynched people. [linebreak] [linebreak] Now a lot of people talk like them but they don't mean it.

[linebreak] [linebreak] "... Do you know how English works?" +Establishing and maintaing a business is a difficult and arduous task, that requires massive dedication and a large investment of time, money and effort. Start-up business owners can't just lay back and do meaningless paperwork while the profits roll in; they have to work their arses off to get their businesses off the ground. [linebreak] [linebreak] If a business becomes successful, and they can begin to afford to hire someone else to do some of the work, then they have earned the right to own their "means of production". But even the owners of large businesses often still have to work hard to ensure that their business does not collapse. The fact that they are no longer physically labouring is irrelevant; it is a job that requires skill, experience and dedication- and one that most people are unable to fill. [linebreak] [linebreak] The customer of the business pays money to the business owner to receive the desired product, and the worker receives a certain amount of money to operate the means of production that the business owner has worked to obtain. Any profit that the business owner gains is his payment for the work that he has put in. +Then say "the patriarchy is trash" +Anon was not on the ball. +She's trying to hit the grievance lottery +HAHAHAHA zing! oh man that was so good dude. +That sub is pure shit that ate itself and shit again. +The ones we fill with people we've dragged from their homes in Guatemala and Honduras. +How do other nations allow them to carry out protest rallies like this?

The guy who did it noticed that the english translations of the romance were pretty dry and long winding so he decided to tell the story himself. He adds tons of infos that aren't in the book (historical context, supplemental episodes on famous characters and lifestyles, etc) and he's really entertaining.

He asked Liu Bei if he would spare Lu Bu. Lu Bu, a skilled warrior, would have become a problem for Liu Bei in the future so he convinced Cao Cao to kill him... completely disregarding the fact that Lu Bu had saved him before.

It's really that easy to control what you see on the forum. It's taking responsibility of what you want to see. The reality is that, if someone isn't getting any responses, they'll eventually leave and you don't even have to know they were there in the first place. I think it gets toxic when OTHER PEOPLE think they should be able to control those they do not agree with...instead of just muting them. I hate bananas. I don't buy them.

[linebreak] [linebreak] A few years ago I met a girl, we'll call her Margo, who was amazing in a million ways. She was musical, beautiful, kind, funny, intelligent, and she was not my wife. [linebreak] [linebreak] While my marriage was on the rocks at the time, and my wife wasn't around very much, we were still married. It was a very dark time for me, but Margo was like a massive light that enveloped me and reminded me of who I was. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think it's worth mentioning that Margo and I never slept together, however we absolutely developed real, and deep feelings for each other. [linebreak] [linebreak] Anyway, eventually my wife finds out I've been connecting with Margo, and is (rightfully) furious. There were a few tear filled nights, and some very hard conversations, but in the end, we decided to work things out. I unceremoniously, (and with much difficulty and hesitation) ended contact with Margo. I still feel horrible about how this all happened because she really was an amazing person who didn't deserve any of the drama I brought upon her. [linebreak] [linebreak] So, my wife and I work things out, and things are better than they've ever been between us. We re-found the love we had somehow lost, and are stronger because of everything that happened. That being said, there was still always a part of me that was just.... empty and regretful. Not because of how things turned out but because of the way they happened. I was also worried about Margo, because for a long time I was her sounding board, and now, I couldn't help her. [linebreak] [linebreak] Tonight I randomly decided to google Margo, and there was a video of her singing a brand new song, and parts of it were too specific to not be about what happened between us, but it gave me closure that everything is alright now. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's late and I'm tired but happy. Even though this is a throwaway account I'm hoping this post just gets buried in the "New" pile.

[linebreak] [linebreak] But again, a hospital, a nursing home is a place you can't even wear perfume. You could, possibly, *kill* someone by bringing an animal inside an environment like that.

I went through about forty of them and noted they were all leg humping related and user-on-user drama...so, I quickly typed up that post telling people how they could be their own superhero and mute people that pissed them off. In my opinion and experience, we were pretty hands off and used to only get involved if the report was blatantly in violation of the rules. Because, frankly, the rules were pretty subjective. Personally, I only ever removed six comments in my tenure as mod. Most of the time, I just wrote a quick note to the person who was reported and the reporter to say "hey, guys...as a reminder, please...fill in the blank". That worked for months! Then, there was this sort of gang mentality that arose and the reports got petty and no one wanted to discuss anything. They just wanted to name and shame and started attacking each other.

[linebreak] [linebreak] It comes from selective understanding. Both of those points aren't necessarily contradictory depending on just how you're viewing them and how you're making those points. [linebreak] [linebreak] The idea of Piracy not being a lost sale comes from the idea that a number of people who pirate games would not buy it in the first place, and would only play it if they can pirate it. Think teenagers without their own spending money, or people trying out a game because they *can* without paying, but wouldn't bother trying it if they had to pay for it. The idea of it potentially helping comes from these same people enjoying the game and recommending it to other people, who in turn actually pay for the game. Along with some of the people who pirate it enjoying it to the point where they want to support the devs. [linebreak] [linebreak] Where this comes to potentially hurting the developers, well, the important phrase in the last paragraph is "a number of people". As we can see from these threads, the people who wouldn't buy it anyway aren't all of the people who pirate. They may not even be a large portion at all. For example, the people in this thread saying or implying they'll pirate it would otherwise buy the game if it was on Steam. They're doing it to stick it to the man in their eyes, because they *are* lost sales. And they're using the fact they don't want to support the Epic Games Store as a moral excuse. [linebreak] [linebreak] Essentially, they are valid points, assuming the "lost sale" defense is based in reality which I can't comment on. But a lot of these people just want any moral excuse to pirate games and will use whatever feels the most convenient. Instead of just pirating and accepting it's wrong to do, but they don't care. +Conservatives and fascists kill people.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Something clicked a couple months ago. I think i realized what i was doing- i had pushed away so many loving individuals while gaining weight and playing too many videogames. I figured that the only person who could help me get out of this loop was myself. I decided i would eat better, go to the gym, and reconnect with those i pushed away. [linebreak] [linebreak] Back to the pull up- with the help of some buddies i started exercising regularly. When i started, i absolutely hated it. But i kept going to the gym every day, and got stronger and stronger which led to today, i was finally able to do 2 full range of motion pull ups without any kind of resistance band or kip up! [linebreak] [linebreak] Im really proud of myself for this. Im still a chubby dude (5 foot 8 in, 165 lbs), but its so cool to see myself improve. Just a couple months ago, i was a fat stereotypical asian gamer lookin dude. But a couple days ago, i got complimented on my new (albeit chunky) muscle definition, and goddamn it feels good! [linebreak] [linebreak] Its not like ive eliminated all my flaws. I still stress eat and sleep too little. I still occasionally try too hard to be the funniest person in the room, and project myself onto others. But its baby steps, ya feel? Slowly but surely, im improving myself! [linebreak] [linebreak] Its just a fucking pull up but it really means so much more to me. It really feels like ive succeeded at something for the first time in forever. Its the first step towards feeling happy, and normal.

[linebreak] There is someone for everyone. [linebreak] It's not like you're contiguous. [linebreak] [linebreak] Just shut up and listen. It's not that simple. It's never that simple. [linebreak] [linebreak] Dating the sick girl means committing to non-commitment. Plans will be ruined, or more likely cancelled. Travel is rare or just completely out of the question. Dating the sick girl means put a ton of blood, sweat and tears into someone who might not even have a future. It means a lot of days sitting alone on the couch while she naps in the bedroom. It means being taken care of, even though it feels silly, because she understands how fragile the human body can be and she doesn't want to lose you. Because you mean everything to her. [linebreak] [linebreak] And she's not a passing fancy, or a charity case. She doesn't want your pity. She is not interested in a fleeting romance. So much of her life is fleeting, over before it starts. She's only interested in a solid lasting connection, it's something that is so very precious to her because the concrete often feels so out of reach for someone who lives with what she does. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's hard. It's not easy. It's not always fun. [linebreak] [linebreak] And I know what you're thinking: [linebreak] [linebreak] No relationship is perfect. [linebreak] All relationships have problems. [linebreak] [linebreak] Shut the fuck up because those problems are pretty fucking small in comparison to what comes with dating a sick girl. You don't get it unless you've lived through it. But even then you don't fucking get it because you're not her. You don't feel what she feels. You don't see all of her pain because she hides it from you, because she cares about you and wants to protect YOU. [linebreak] [linebreak] And you can't protect her, and it's devastating. You can't protect her, and it makes you feel weak and useless. It starts to eat at you deep down, and it festers there until you can't take it anymore and then you do what seemed unimaginable. [linebreak] [linebreak] You leave her. [linebreak] [linebreak] And her heart breaks as it has every time before. She feels abandoned, alone and lost. She lost her rock. And it kills her inside, because she gets why you left, but she is also so angry because you don't fucking get it. [linebreak] [linebreak] All she needed was for you to be her rock. [linebreak] Solid. [linebreak] Concrete. [linebreak] [linebreak] And now she's left again with no one to lean on. [linebreak] [linebreak] Because no one wants to date the sick girl.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Of course, (unfortunately) that doesn't mean it isn't necessary to toughen up, because that's the world we live in, and while I wish people sometimes had more understanding and empathy for others, i can't expect to have the whole world change because of how i am. I think a "nicer" way to look at this is, not to toughen up because of how the world works and its "cruel" ways, but toughen up in the right places to do yourself something good and help yourself have a better life.

There are people working in healthcare that are involved in science, but the majority are just applying the principles of medicine. Which isn't less than science, it's just different. [linebreak] [linebreak] Example of the distinction, the National Academies of the United States are broken up as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. +I said it is, and it isn't. [linebreak] [linebreak] There have been pictures which proved the existence of black holes going back quite a while. And as I noted ... pictures of the plasma jets originating from the accretion disk around black holes ... for example this [article](https://phys.org/news/2017-02-astronomers-black-hole-cold-star-making.html) has a good one. [linebreak] [linebreak] And more important than the very impressive pictures are things like [this](https://science.sciencemag.org/content/351/6268/62) ... the detection of a very rare event indeed, a black hole ejecting a jet as a result of the passage near it by a star. But these discoveries were made in outside the visible spectrum we use, so technically they aren't 'pictures' even though they are pretty much the same thing ... the reception of electromagnetic radiation as a result of a black hole.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Real mental health awareness could save a lot of lives in this country. Imagine if everyone got the help they needed? People could have meaningful relationships. People could enjoy things again. People would stop killing themselves and each other in droves. [linebreak] [linebreak] Edit: * *There's a difference between psycho spree shooters and a shooters who wants revenge for being tormented. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's a touchy subject but if you don't make the distinction you can't put the blame where it really belongs. Psychos are psycho. They're going to kill someone or something.* It's all a matter of when.* and it's rare when they're caught before they do something because they come off as normal teenage outcasts. [linebreak] [linebreak] As for the bullied shooters. [linebreak] *Did anyone ever think they went too far with their bullying before their classmate pulled a gun?* [linebreak] Did the school staff notice ? Or did they let him / her fall through the cracks into a void of misery and depression? Did anyone even bother to make the effort to reach out to them ? [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm just tired of this hindsight is 20/20 bullshit. Bullied shooters can be prevented if we all stopped being assholes to each other. +they did that? Since when? What's the number now? +Is the alternative to just make every born person the same shade of near-black? The in-game assets look different from the OW comics as well. Are Blizzard artists not aware of how their own characters look or something? This is just such a weak fucking complaint. They're clearly brown. What difference would it make if they were light brown or dark brown? [linebreak] [linebreak] I'd agree with thos argument if they literally made them white, but the skin tone is still correct. I'm so sorry that artists have different styles. If you're displeased with how a character was drawn by someone, literally nothing is stopping your from drawing it yourself in the way you like it. [linebreak] [linebreak] Like, I don't get why people feel the need to police other people's art. If you want vanta black PoC, fucking draw it. If you want it to look like the official work, go play Overwatch or read the official comics. One person posting their own pastel-style rendering of the characters doesn't change the fact that the characters have an established model. [linebreak] [linebreak] Overwatch is probably the most diverse game on the market and it literally is never enough for these people. At this point, Blizz is almost forced to release a queer black trans person next because it's just about the only thing they haven't done. +it seems it was removed +Also, some of his most recent comments can be found in r/SuddenlyGay and r/actuallesbians, and all of them contain at least one instance of the word "faggot". +Unlike PETA, Steve actually gave a fuck about animals instead of trolling on the Internet bitching about the NBA using leather basketballs and telling Ben and Jerry to make their ice cream out of human breast milk. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Steve also inspired a ton of dank memes, which is more than we can say about PETA. +>This gives me PTSD-style flashbacks of last year's April Fools 'round these parts. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Oh fuck I forgot this subreddit did that. Lawd have mercy on all our heathen souls. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Also it's been a year already? Damn. +The whole thread is hilarious. Amber (or the other girl) makes fun of the idea that these idiots think the US is fascist white supremacist state... but cth somehow interprets this as "they are saying systemic racism doesn't exist anymore reeeeeee". [linebreak] [linebreak] I mean, do you need proof these people are only capable of thinking in extremes? Look at how they react to literally anything. [linebreak] [linebreak] God Bless Amber A'Lee. +Is it sexist and W O K E to use 'they/them' to address a "feminine man?"

The only 'improvement ' would be making people immortal. +Someone did put a noose around his neck and probably definitely said the words "this is maga country". [linebreak] [linebreak] Not a hoax.

About 5 months ago after spreading myself incredibly thin trying to solve everyone else's problems in my clan, I meet someone who seems to just click with me. [linebreak] [linebreak] No name but a letter. Anime pic. Everything should have told me this is a catfish. [linebreak] [linebreak] But I was so fucking lonely. [linebreak] [linebreak] It comes to be this person happens to be extremely rich on Runescape, and offered to give me 20 bonds for gold premier. [linebreak] [linebreak] The catch? I had to give them the 7 bonds I had already, because "It'll be a better gift if I give you all 20!" [linebreak] [linebreak] Of course I do so without thinking. [linebreak] [linebreak] Trade complete. [linebreak] [linebreak] B has left the clan. B has logged off. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm just sitting there staring at those words on my screen. [linebreak] [linebreak] This must be a prank, right? No one would do that, be nice to someone then backstab them as soon as they get something, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] 10 minutes pass. I haven't moved. One of my friends PM's me "Why are you on that world?" [linebreak] [linebreak] All I could manage to say was "I don't know." [linebreak] [linebreak] I'd just gotten scammed because I was thinking with my dick. [linebreak] [linebreak] I can't show my face to my clan anymore. They'll never let me live it down. I can't handle that. I'm supposed to be the clan mediator who helps everyone resolve issues. Not the completely broken mask that it actually is. [linebreak] [linebreak] So I left. Never logged in again. On anything. Totally off the grid save my job. [linebreak] [linebreak] A month goes by. My phone blares notifications at me... "Naive we miss you." "Naive, hope you're okay." "Naive what happened?" "Naive we're really worried." [linebreak] [linebreak] Lies. All lies. [linebreak] [linebreak] About a month and a half ago, I finally summon the energy to go to the doctor. I just tell her right out I'm depressed. She prescribes me 200mg Bupropion, twice daily. [linebreak] [linebreak] So now I'm on medication for depression. Doesn't feel like anything. [linebreak] [linebreak] Until 3 weeks ago. [linebreak] [linebreak] All of a sudden, I'm a completely different man. Garulous, entertaining, genuinely fun to talk to. Came back to my clan ecstatic. Things are looking good for once. [linebreak] [linebreak] Except when you didn't agree with me. [linebreak] [linebreak] Then I was the absolute hugest asshole in existence. Because how DARE someone try to harsh my happiness? [linebreak] [linebreak] So I treat them like I would any other asshole. I mocked them. I poked fun at all the words they say. And when they inevitably fight back, I get underhanded. Start slinging shit that was told to me in confidence. [linebreak] [linebreak] Of course they respond in kind. And then I played the victim. Dissected their words and arguments, completely contradicting myself at times just to win the argument. [linebreak] [linebreak] Oh I won the arguments. But now the entire clan hates me. They don't even acknowledge me when I speak in the clan. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've become *that* guy. The one you have to tip toe around on eggshells because he might snap and bite your head off. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've become the crazy one. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm not fixed. Sure I'm no longer depressed. [linebreak] [linebreak] But I've never felt more isolated than I do in this very moment. [linebreak] [linebreak] They just wrote me off. I can't blame them. No one wants to deal with someone whose perception of reality is this fucked. [linebreak] [linebreak] No one wants to hear out why I'm saying the things I say. No one is acknowledging that I said I need another break from Discord. No one cares. [linebreak] [linebreak] So I left. Again. [linebreak] [linebreak] I shouldn't be around people. I'm trash. Filth. The worst kind of asshole, the one that *has* to be right. [linebreak] [linebreak] Don't end up like me. If you were depressed and now feel almost insanely good, see your doctor. [linebreak] [linebreak] Don't be the reason your friends give up on you. You'll regret it so much, like I am now. +OEM.

Sometimes, you just gotta get these feelings out to someone. Even if it's anonymous strangers on the internet, you just gotta get it out. Writing it in a journal doesn't work because there's this desperate feeling for someone to know that you're suffering, while also such an intense shame and guilt about it that you can't tell your family or friends. So /r/offmychest gets a post. [linebreak] [linebreak] At least in my experience, advice or sympathy don't really help and just make me feel worse. I feel the need to argue against it and say "well I've tried that and it didn't work" or shit like that, but feel like such a dick arguing against wellmeaning people that I just don't respond and end up deleting the post a few hours later anyway. [linebreak] [linebreak] So just don't take it personally. A lot of times folks (or at least me) don't have an outlet and will spew their guts out to the internet because it's better than keeping it in. We aren't looking for advice or sympathy, there's just a depression/anxiety demon whispering in your ear and it often gets so loud that you just need to uncork your feelings to relieve a little pressure. That doesn't mean the effort isn't appreciated. +nonmales? +>#The fury of 'white people' with Jon Snow shows a total lack of self-awareness on race [linebreak] [linebreak] Yes, because we all know *nobody* would've been offended if someone said "I've never seen so many black/Indian/Pakistani people in one place!"

[linebreak] [linebreak] But her stance inevitably follows from her early work! As far as I understand it, the foundational principles of radical feminism are that males and females have no innate psychological differences, gender is entirely a social construct, and must be abolished to end female oppression. Which is clearly incompatible with the belief that transwomen have female brains that compel them to express female gender roles, and if deprived of that they (and most cis people probably) will become unhappy to the point of attempting suicide. [linebreak] [linebreak] Every time a liberal feminist repeats that gender is a social construct with no biological basis, they affirm that part of the ideology and they only manage to avoid the conclusion by purposefully not thinking it through. +Thought this sub was going to be about the movie *Us* +I take a half step right, you do the same, we are on equal footing, life is great.

[linebreak] [linebreak] For example, the Romans wrote that several Germanic tribes wore untanned animal skins, lived in stick-huts and didn't practice agriculture.

I do always think to myself I can find a job I can deal with but I cant. Even the low down jobs are very demanding and I can't keep up with the pace.

You only waste the time you do have on the most meaningless topic. [linebreak] [linebreak] Does knowing the eggs in your fridge will inevitably go bad stop you from baking a cake with them while they're still fresh? No, because cake is delicious and depriving yourself of cake because you know the ingredients have a time limit is nonsensical.

No. [linebreak] [linebreak] Likewise, knowing there is a time limit to your life shouldn't stop you from living it. Nor does it make it nonsensical to try to extend it, it's just that at some point you might as well bake the cake, because the end is inevitable. +McDoubles only on the first date tho. +It's also like... so apparently Pikachu alone is portrayed this way and every other Pokémon is shown to be ready to betray you at the next turn?

(WRIC) — A Chesterfield family spoke with 8News Friday after fending off a naked intruder who broke into their home on South Twilight Lane the night before. The intruder claimed to be the devil and attacked the family, prompting the homeowner to fire 39 rounds. [linebreak] [linebreak] The incident was a traumatic experience for the Lewis family's first night in their brand new home. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] "She was in to kill us," Melissa Lewis said. "That was her almighty, to kill us. She attacked us and I held her down just kept on punching her and punching her as hard as I possibly could." [linebreak] [linebreak] The Lewis' dream home now looks like a war zone, with blood soaked into the carpet, the walls and windows riddled with bullets and shell casings scattered all over. [linebreak] [linebreak] "I said 'who are you?" Lewis' husband, who did not wish to go on camera, explained. "She said 'I need your help, please help me.' I said 'get out of my house,' and she goes 'I'm the devil.'" [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] The homeowner says the woman, who had a blue ponytail, broke into the basement around 10:30 p.m. on July 4. The family said she was laughing menacingly and refused to leave. [linebreak] [linebreak] "She looked possessed, her eyes were completely black, like saucers, and she was laughing like it was a joke," Lewis's husband told 8News. [linebreak] [linebreak] Fearing for his life, the father of three grabbed his pistol and gave a verbal warning to the woman. With his family sleeping upstairs, he opened fire hoping to scare her off. None of the shots struck the suspect. [linebreak] [linebreak] Lewis said the woman aggressively charged at him with superhuman strength. [linebreak] [linebreak] "She was not stopping," he said. "She had the strength of four grown men." [linebreak] [linebreak] When he ran out of bullets, Lewis began throwing furniture at her. His wife and children eventually jumped in and attempted to stop the woman. The intruder didn't stop until one of the children, the Lewis' 12-year-old son Logan, shoved a wrench into her neck. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Police arrested the intruder and she is being treated and evaluated at the hospital. The Lewis family left with bruises and bite marks. [linebreak] [linebreak] "I'm scared to go in there, I won't even go into any room by myself, I'm terrified," M. Lewis said. [linebreak] [linebreak] Detectives told the family that the suspect lives nearby and will eventually be charged robbery, breaking and entering and attempted murder. She is currently in the ICU with severe head trauma. +These people's obsession with race will never cease to amaze +if we put them in prison it will only make them want to rape even more.

As a result I've missed my best friends birthday to earn money instead. [linebreak] [linebreak] Truthfully I couldn't afford to go out and celebrate her birthday for two days in a row but I feel terrible about it to the point I want to cry.

Its ridiculous when people get upset when an outfit doesn't look good on them, when its not for their body type to begin with. Embracing their body type is the best way to figure out what makes them look beautiful. Like wearing a size 4 when they're really a size 14. Not only do they make themselves look bad but it gives them a harder/very uncomfortable time forcing themselves in spanx and corsets. Do yourself a favor and wear clothes that work for you, don't wear it just bc its what so and so wore or its what society wants. Everyone is beautiful or handsome in their own unique ways.

You assume that humanity is uniform and that is not true. It would take further analysis of the information to compare cultures, demographics, and other factors. Beyond that, it being true in the US is enough. I presume the "75% of doctors" was for the US as well? [linebreak] [linebreak] > My mother is a doctor, yet she still managed to have two children. [linebreak] [linebreak] Your mother is an incredible woman. She is very rare. The OBGYN that delivered most of my kids was pregnant twice when my wife was. Yet there is a fallacy in pointing to her. Everyone knows that the world would be better with more women like her. Yet making it easier to accomplish what she did doesn't make more women like her, it just lowers the bar. It's like pointing to a remarkable immigrant to justify more immigration. It neglects the way selection works. [linebreak] [linebreak] > huge daycare costs and minimal maternal and no paternal leave. I think improving the childcare system in this country would help a lot more women be able to be both a parent and a doctor. Can we at least agree on that? [linebreak] [linebreak] No. It would be better for women to stay home and raise their own children. There is no need for half of doctors to be women. That is just a silly, pointless objective. Instead, we should just focus on relaxing the regulations that make cost of living high. The only reason daycare is expensive in some places is that there are absurd levels of regulation. Every time a child gets hurt, the state rushes in to impose laws to ensure it never happens again. That might sound nice, and that's why it happens, but another way of stating that series of events is outlawing low cost child care. Instead, we should let the market offer a variety of products and let parents choose. Daycare has low startup costs and therefore can be very competitive. There are already plenty of incentives to provide safe care without the intervention of regulators who don't pay the costs they impose. The same goes for vehicles, homes, medicine, and many other products/services. People should be allowed to choose the quality of product that they want or offer. [linebreak] [linebreak] Trying to impose what you want with government is always an inefficient method. This is especially true for a pointless thing like forcing women into the workforce. We do not need more government, we need less feminism. +Don't forget the BBC she enjoys taking on the reg +Please don't make cringey songs or poems. +Our open borders policies are letting them freely participate in our lolcow accepting upvote policies.

[linebreak] [linebreak] First time getting high: Grade 10, at lunch time. I couldnt walk, couldnt stand, barely could speak and sat in the woods for little over 4hours. I was generally afraid for my life and was listening to christian music thinking I was going to die. Finally some chick came over and helped me get home which I fellasleep and felt super exhausted when I woke up. [linebreak] [linebreak] Second big high: Smoked with a lot of friends and played Fortnite, generally felt pretty good. I could only focus on one thing however, but when I focused on it I felt like I could really understand it. We were listening to music and I felt my ears could feel the beat in them (Like the Trap Nation logo in their videos but in my ears). If I rubbed my arms I could feel that same feeling over and over again even though I stopped doing it. Felt like my heart was pumping very fast and I was biting down hard on my teeth. I came to the conclusion that what I'm feeling is from the high, almost like a lucid high (??) Like I was awareness what I was feeling was from a high and I could control my high because I control my brain. If I opened my mouth I could still feel the feeling of my clenching my jaw, if I stopped putting my hand over my heart I could still feel my heart pounding. I could stop and continue effects, almost like I was coding my brain to stop and start whatever I wanted to do. [linebreak] [linebreak] Last big high and last time smoking (2 weeks ago): 16% thc prerolls I bought at the liquor store, couldnt even finish the whole joint, got half way before I threw it out. I had to find an activity I could do because if I kept to myself I felt like I would get lost in my mind and eventually die. It felt like I was connecting all the dots to life, I had to snap myself out of thinking too much because it made me want to fallasleep and at the time falling asleep = death. I had to keep my mind away of thinking about my high, if I thought about it my heart felt like it would speed up, like a wheel and it would get faster and faster and then eventually it felt like someone was whipping my consicous, I'd think about something and then I'd hear the crack of a whip and the thought would be gone. I felt like my sober self was fighting my high self to see who could keep conscious and it was exhausting. I had to keep throwing out thoughts because I'd spiral farther down and couldnt stop myself. I tried watching Brooklyn 99 but I kep imagining my life as a movie, and what would someones reaction would be to what I was doing right now, then I'd imagine my reaction to me thinking about my life as a movie and the cycle would continue. I tried taking a shower but it felt too good and relaxing, It felt like my legs were telling my brain that they were done standing and going to give out soon. Overall it was like each part of my body was its own body and they all were trying to communicate at the same time. Then I decided to play Fortnite and LoL, first couple of games were rough but then I decided that if I control my brain I'll force myself to get into the perfect state of mind to play, so I did. Just thinking about the right state of mind allowed me to get in it, and I played the best I've ever played in my life. [linebreak] [linebreak] What are my theories? I must be triggering some receptor or something in my brain that causes a episode. But I also think that while I'm high I control more of my brain because the thc receptors in my brain is filled up rather than being empty normally (if thats how it works). I generally believe that I can overdose on marijuana, and I want to get my brain checked out while I'm high, I'm fine with being the first person to OD on marijuana if it furthers the research. [linebreak] [linebreak] So what do ya'll think? I'm up for any questions. +I absolutely believe that some portion of the millions of people on Reddit are the type of crazy fuckers who'd SWAT someone.

You might think that's overkill to put down these fell beasts, considering they don't get past 60lbs, but what the longslide Glock® 40 provides is unprecedented range. [linebreak] [linebreak] In real world conditions, I wouldn't be confident in hitting a pibble sized target past 30 yards with a 9mm and iron sights, but when I'm throwing 180gr slugs at well over 1200 feet per second, I'll reach out and touch that pibble at 100 yards, easy. The Modular Optic System on the rear of the slide is a god-send, providing quick and accurate targeting on a small, fleeting target. In an urban environment, cover and concealment are everywhere, so the first shot may likely be the only clean shot you get. The ballistics of the 10mm Auto out of a 6.02" barrel are almost unrivaled in semi-automatic pistols, and at 100 yards it's still going plenty fast to properly open the hollow-points I use, and it has a flat trajectory so I barely have to compensate for drop.

[linebreak] [linebreak] My grandparents owned a large chunk of and island with 4 cabins in Georgian Bay. This was their cottage, and their children and grandchildren were able to go up any time they wanted in the summer. And we did. My grandparents loved having everyone up, and everyone loved being up there. The big dock, the kayaks, the boat the grandkids could use whenever they wanted, the cool water, the beautiful sunsets, this place was heaven. When it was my grandparents cottage, their 3 kids were equal in how many times you could go up, the rules were the same, and everyone was welcome whenever they wanted. [linebreak] [linebreak] Everything changed when my grandparents passed away. [linebreak] [linebreak] My grandfather had cancer which took over his body quickly. So while he was still alive he put the cottage on sale, and we all went up one more time. It was nice closure. We all said our goodbyes to this place that held so many memories in our hearts. And then my aunt and uncle decided to buy it. They promised everyone nothing would change, we could all go up whenever we wanted, etc. But that wasn't realistic. Their kids, my cousins, have first dibs when it comes to going up. If their kids bring friends, there's no room for the other 2 families. If my aunt and uncle bring their friends, same thing applies. I don't have an issue with this, because it's their cottage. What I have an issue with is the constant stream of Instagram stories and posts every weekend of them renovating cabins, photos of the sunsets, or photos of them relaxing on the dock. Recently they posted a photo of them driving around in a boat that was so sentimental to my grandfather he never let any drive it. And there they were in bikinis and drinks sitting on the back driving it around. Seeing all of this makes me upset. They have every right to enjoy their own cottage, but it's just insensitive of them to constantly post about their great weekends up there when the other 2 families who used to enjoy the same things only get to see it through a smartphone. [linebreak] [linebreak] I just wish they would be able to enjoy their new cottage without having to show all of us how much fun they're having. Without showing us how each cabin is now one child's mini house. How a cottage which could hold over 20 people can now only fit 8. I want to forget about this place, but I can't.

One doesn't need to raise awareness when the events are so few that cable news outlets can justify days of debate over each event; we're already pretty much aware the moment they happen. But one does need to raise awareness if they wish to have their 15 minutes of fame. [linebreak] > [linebreak] > [As I previously noted](https://mises.org/wire/combat-hate-make-government-weaker), the number of people who buy into hate ideology, regardless of motivation, is so trivial that they couldn't even fill a minor league baseball stadium. There are more people than this who think the Earth is flat, yet no one considers that a growing trend. It would be impossible to casually talk about Nazis being evil if they had any semblance of power or authority as people would tread more carefully. Being anti-Nazi is a safe and easy way to win social points since there is almost zero risk of reprisal. Just ask Wilfred Reilly, who is on actual enemies lists, just how dangerous they are (they aren't). However, politicians, certain groups and many individuals have strong incentives to manufacture hate crimes where none exist as such events generate votes, revenue and social attention. [linebreak] [linebreak] Condensed version. +[https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/b3ph8x/are\_f1\_races\_fixed/](https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/b3ph8x/are_f1_races_fixed/) +Oof. +Yeah that's essentially what I was trying to say. It's alright if you say the murderer acted like a yandere character would, I'd also say it's cool, albeit a bit cringy, if you're watching a movie or series where a character kills someone over jealously and you call that a yandere. [linebreak] [linebreak] But in the context of real life with real people, unless you're making a dark joke, you shouldn't really be calling a murderer via an anime stereotype because it's innacurate. Yandere is a thing in anime because of the context the media is built. [linebreak] [linebreak] In the same manner, traps don't mind being called traps because they don't exist, it doesn't help increase hate crime rate of anime characters if you address them by that term, and 'trap' has a use for anime community because it identifies characters that do not fall correctly under the trans nor crossdresser label. The problem is that anime culture reached out way outside it's bubble and people that have no idea what the term reffers to started using it wrongly. [linebreak] [linebreak] A trans person would be someone born in the wrong body, they feel the other gender and have the need to be more like the other gender. [linebreak] [linebreak] A crossdresser is a person that is of a gender but likes dressing up as the other gender from time to time. [linebreak] [linebreak] What the term trap tries to define are anime characters that dress up and act like another gender, and sometimes even go as far as saying they feel like the gender they're going by, but doesn't actually suffer from gender dysphoria. What makes this term not really useable for real people is the fact that you can never assume a person isn't suffering from gender dysphoria because *they* are the only ones able to tell what they're suffering from, as with a fictional character it's entirely alright to assume they aren't suffering from something if the narrative doesn't imply they are. [linebreak] [linebreak] That being said, people will keep both misusing the term and misinterpreting it, and while I'm against completely banning the term (I mean, did that ever work...?) I won't pretend I have a solution to this. +How easily they forget that the MSM and Clinton's campaign in particular tried their hardest to get Trump to win the Republican primaries because they thought he was the easiest to beat. +40% of ∞ is still ∞. Math checks out. +Its like a scat lite fetish. +You're an idiot. [linebreak] [linebreak] >...downvoted just because people don't agree. [linebreak] [linebreak] Yes, that's correct. [linebreak] [linebreak] Why do you think that is? You think you get upvotes because of respect? Because you're right? [linebreak] [linebreak] The voting system is purely democratic. And it changes with the audience. If you put this comment on twitter directly under another person who was upset with Beiber, then you'd likely get heaps of likes. Unfortunately, they're useless and nobody should really care about them. [linebreak] [linebreak] >...you have to find every single joke on the planet absolutely hilarious... [linebreak] [linebreak] Who said that? Quote me one person in this thread or in the entirety of this comment section who said something along those lines. I seriously want to know. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't know anyone who says that. It's basically impossible to find most jokes funny. Not everyone can appreciate light humour like Piano Cat while still enjoying Holocaust jokes. But hey, if you can, then you're probably insane. [linebreak] [linebreak] That being said, if you really hate certain jokes that much, ignore them. Anyone who tells speeches or does stand-up knows that the worst feeling you could have after saying something is not a unanimous reaction or a food execution, but just complete silence as everyone transitions to whatever else they were doing. [linebreak] [linebreak] >I feel like the people who get bent out of shape when someone doesn't agree with them are the ones who are way too sensitive... [linebreak] [linebreak] Yes. Again, yes. No one disagrees with you there, especially the aforementioned maniac. [linebreak] [linebreak] I would go as far as saying most people who get bent out of shape are very sensitive, almost as if that's a defining trait of sensitive people, discounting those that are too shy to voice their opinion, of course. [linebreak] [linebreak] edit: spelling [linebreak] [linebreak] TL;DR fuck you read what I said +Okay, but it seems they're forgetting about Ivankov, who can literally change the genders of people by stabbing them with needle-like fingers, and is the leader of an island of transvestites. that was ten years ago those chapters came out, what the hell happened to everyone between then and now? +Honestly part six looses in tye later part.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] But I firmly believe that there are vastly more acts of racism than false claims.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Conversely, I've seen almost no one argue against people who *literally cannot buy a game legally* pirating, much like how no one gives a shit if you download the original *Super Mario Bros. 3*. But games like *The Outer Worlds* and possibly *Borderlands 3* *aren't even out yet.* [linebreak] [linebreak] Do you *actually* fucking think *any* of the people in the linked thread aren't red-blooded, glued-to-their-seats Americans, let alone Westerners? +A feminist marrying someone just to get citizenship in another country, essentially using him.

The book that all the RoTK games, shows, and movies are based off of was written a couple centuries later around the time or a bit after of the fall of the foreign Khanite led Dynasty, the Yuan dynasty. [linebreak] [linebreak] The northern Yuan dynasty did not fall all at once, and for a while they stayed in contention with the Southern Ming. Luo Guanzhong might have been putting the names Liu Bei,Cao Cao and Sun Quan on paper, but it was really exposé on current or recently historical political events. [linebreak] [linebreak] The southern Ming saw themselves as fighting an illegitimate foreign Dynasty to reestablish a dynasty ruled by the ethnically Han people's, in the same vein as Liu Bei trying to reestablish the venerable Han Empire in Shu-Han from Wei usurpers. [linebreak] [linebreak] So Liu Bei became an allegory for the southern Ming patriots and Cao Cao for the evil northern led Yuan "usurpers". Basically RoTK was written to be propaganda so of course Liu Bei was righteous and Cao Cao the cynical villain. +Just find some other way to compensate for it, like anal. +Hyperbole much?

The first website I visited was TheForce.Net; the second was a porn site. I'd already discovered masturbation a year prior but unfettered web access blew the doors off the whole fucking thing. As a shy and introverted kid, who'd been relentlessly teased by girls in middle school and junior high and had learned to fear them, and who was now going to an all boys high school, it was a godsend for my raging, gooey hormones. I didn't have to worry about girls anymore! Everything I knew about naked girls in my teenage years, I learned from the internet. It felt like the perfect — and safe — release valve. It was also a prime enabler of avoidance of girls, and of never needing to confront the reality that not all girls were going to make fun of me. My grades never suffered, and I did have friends, but I was pretty well in the internet porn bubble by 15. [linebreak] [linebreak] Around then, my porn tastes had expanded from merely jacking to pictures of naked women and low quality video clips to reading erotica. Lots of it. Literotica was a wonderland for me. I also got to indulge my curiosity in gay porn, and I found the sheer novelty of it to be breathtakingly exciting. I mixed it in with all the opposite-sex porn I was consuming I began a long period of questioning my sexuality, even though being surrounded by guys all day, I never felt attracted or infatuated to a single one of them. It never occurred to me at 16 and 17 that I was responding to the novelty and the taboo of watching gay porn, and that it did not align with my own sexual preferences. Soon after I graduated from high school, I decided to put it to the test — I found a guy my age who lived nearby, and I actually lost my virginity to him. It did not do a damn thing for me, and I came away confident that I wasn't gay, but the porn consumption continued. [linebreak] [linebreak] I didn't date at all from 17 to 20. I'd had my first girlfriend during high school and it was very exciting in a physical sense, thereby proving that I was still very much attracted to girls, but that had long since ended and I retreated into my shell of depression/anxiety and enough porn to suffocate a lesser man. High speed internet had come into our home, so now there was more porn, and it was *faster!* Now there were streaming sites; Xtube was an early favorite of mine. It was so comforting and reliable, and it never made me feel anxious; ashamed, but never anxious. [linebreak] [linebreak] I starting dating my first real girlfriend when I was 20, and she was the first time I'd ever had sex with a woman, and the first time I'd had sex at all since that one guy I'd experimented with. I enjoyed sex with her but was still pretty anxious and inhibited about not living up to the dudes I'd watched in pornos, both professional and amateur. This led to a lot of performance anxiety, and using masturbation as a self-soothing mechanism, it gave rise to erectile dysfunction as well. Erectile dysfunction at 21 years old. Can you fucking believe it? It was a source of tension in the relationship, amongst other things — namely my untreated anxiety and depression, which I didn't want to accept and face. My porn consumption bothered her as well. Long story short, we lasted two years before the entire relationship deteriorated. This did nothing to improve my self-esteem. [linebreak] [linebreak] Over the next decade, I went on a ton of first dates that went nowhere, and had a handful of one-night stands where I could force myself to perform (at least) adequately. Entire days, nights, and weekends would be consumed by porn — streaming videos, pictures, literary erotica, and once I found Reddit, a ton of the gonewild-type subs. I'd be masturbating four or five times a day when I was alone. It would leave me feeling drained and utterly revolted by myself. My socialization dropped like a rock as a result of intense anxiety, and the excessive masturbation was being used as an avoidance mechanism to hold the anxiety at bay. It was all a terribly dysfunctional cycle. [linebreak] [linebreak] A few months ago, the woman of my dreams, whom I'd been dating for over a year, left me for reasons unrelated to my masturbation habits. It broke me, and I'm now finally getting therapy for the anxiety that has held my life in a death grip since adolescence. And now, it's time to leave masturbation behind too. I've masturbated five times in the last twenty-four hours due to obvious anxiety issues and I cannot stand it anymore. I'm feeling disgusted and ashamed of myself for the last time. I'm going to get better, and goddammit I'm going to pursue the type of life and relationships I deserve. This cannot be anymore. My life cannot be crippled by anxiety and its toxic coping mechanisms any longer. No more porn. No more gonewild subs. No nothing. The next time I see a naked woman is gonna be when she's standing right in front of me, however long it takes. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm done jerking myself into a coma, just like I'm done hiding from the world. I don't deserve to be treated this way *by my own self*, let alone anybody else. My mission to improve my life has gained a new facet and an extra shot in the arm. Telling my story on a public forum such as this is my way of owing it and drawing the dividing line between the past and the future. Thanks for reading. [linebreak] [linebreak] tl;dr: Masturbated daily for twenty two years, used it as a crutch to avoid my anxiety, ran my social life into the ground, but fuck both of those things now. I'm in therapy and I'm gonna go out there and get mine. +Can someone fill me in on why he threw the baby?

Amazing argument. +Yeah, they're definitely cheaper in the long run, too. I didn't intend to suggest that one *couldn't* find them at all anymore, just that they aren't the preferred choice for most people. [linebreak] [linebreak] I wish they were more popular, though.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I just happened to have the same starting username! +incels??? so if people cant get laid they're as bad as pedophiles??? +To be fair the op didn't mention mosques at all, unless you consider those "black churches" whatever that could be. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] But I seem to remember quite a few stories about the Mosul mosque when it was destroyed, you could argue that is because of the ISIL drama. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] But this just happened. Are people not allowed to mourn for even a single day anymore? Sure if you don't care about history you could just say "it's just a building burning down" but it's a cultural and historic landmark that has touched the lives of millions of people for hundreds of years. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] There isn't any valid point the original is making unless "why are upset about your \_\_\_\_\_ no one cared about my \_\_\_\_" which doesn't seem like a constructive critique. +Nani? +That can be arranged lekin for vo nervous se agitate ho jayenge +Millions go into third world countries every year.

In it, he absolutely destroys the very idea of monarchy and big government. +Man what a burn! +I try to reply to all responses I get to comments and posts, however a few times I've posted on depression/anxiety and subs like that and not responded to people who have written back. I feel awful about it, but sometimes I'm so depressed that writing back seems incredibly hard. If you'd like me to expand on that I can, but I hope this gives some perspective into why they may not. +[The last time he told the story about getting fired, there was no racist message involved.](https://www.reddit.com/r/jobs/comments/8pct3c/seeking_advice_i_just_got_fired_with_no_concrete/) Notice that these posts are talking about the exact same firing in June 2018.

I don't use Instagram, but the screenshot makes it appear that there was no prior message. +Did you like it? Thanks for reminding of this movie. I was shocked to realize it's been six years. +I think the whole thing about me taking the time to send genuine, heartfelt messages to people in need shows that I am not self-absorbed.

[linebreak] [linebreak] To pretend there's anything more to it is pretty offensive. +I see this a bit 25/75: 25% of me is like "damn I guess I said the wrong thing since they didn't comment" and the other 75% is definitely the "yelling into the void" poster. I actually just posted something just to get it out of my system. I didn't really need responses....and I understand what you mean: "why can't they write it in their journal?" [linebreak] [linebreak] I also write in my journal, but sometimes it's nice just to see people who have felt my struggle without any judgement. That's why I like Reddit. No one knows me here and I'm able to just be myself rather than plaster a smile on my face all day like I typically do. ‍♀️ +r/MurderedByWords +The OP can apply for PR in J&K...

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] "Other people being too nice to black people is forcing me to be racist" is such garbage thinking and I hate it. If I found out someone was avoiding black people because the way *other* people are treating black people I would have to think they were a fucking idiot who was just looking for an excuse to justify their bigotry. +>And of course you believe them without question... because why would they lie? Right? [linebreak] [linebreak] Personally, I believe everything user you've replied to posts. Lying is not in their nature. +700 maternal deaths out of 3 million births annually.

It's actually that simple, because they just care about her ideas.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Evidence of their delusion when waaaay down at the bottom of the thread, someone points out that the right-wing likes Candace Owens so this theory makes no sense.

That would be heart-breaking, which I suppose is why I'm calling it out. +If you don't care and keep liking what you like, they have absolutely no control +Secularism in its original form means separation of religion and state. It basically means that the state should not interfere in religious matter and religion should not interfere in state matters. [linebreak] All religions should respect the laws no matter what. For example if using loudspeakers is considered a public offence, then you should be prosecuted for it, even if its just following your religious beliefs. [linebreak] [linebreak] Things like separate marriage code for muslims, hajj subsidy by the government, as well as hinduphobia and embracing and catering muslims because they're a "minority under threat" by the leftist "liberals" and other bullshit spoon-feeding done to muslims is in itself against the very concept of secularism that these stupid "progressive liberals" claim to be standing for. +Wow, it must be nice to take a back seat and talk shit to anyone you want, generalize entire groups of people, then have zero evidence and tell everyone else to do the research... also, why are white women still pretending that they're not white?

[linebreak] [linebreak] Seriously, I've been reading Engels lately, and the guy's a fucking hack. I swear you could go through his work and find-and-replace-text, and change every instance of "necessarily" to "mystically", and every example of "necessary" to "eldritch", and it would read exactly the same way. Anyone who'd read his drivel and view it as innovation to be implemented, that's some Jonestown-tier decision making...Jonestown itself having been a socialist commune, I suddenly recall. +Because plastic Razors have never been marketed to men +Nature isn't a wonderful, peaceful place, and anyone who thinks it is, is delusional. Everything wants to kill you, the elements, other animals, diseases, ect. It doesn't inherently provide for you. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you walk into a Forrest expecting to gather plentiful food and clean water, you will die. The food you will find will taste terrible and take a ton of effort to gather or hunt enough of to actually be nourishing. The water will always be dirty and taste disgusting. [linebreak] [linebreak] I get the appeal, it's a pretty place to visit. It's easy to embellish the peace and beauty when you don't see predators covered in the blood of their prey, or a rabid animal being painfully reducing to a brain dead mess. [linebreak] [linebreak] Be Happy for human advancement. Take pride in the machines we've build and the plentiful resources we've made for ourselves because nature doesn't care. It never has, and our advancement as a species has come inspite of nature, not because of it. +What happened to canceling Dany the White Savior? +It almost makes you sympathetic to their insanity. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's easy for people who aren't worthless sacks of shit to see how idiotic and dangerous communism is, but I'd imagine if you are so pathetic that the only skills you possess in life by your 30's are something you could train a mentally handicapped 14 year old to do in literally 5 minutes, then the great commie revolution might make sense to you. +[Turns out that going to other countries and taking resources makes you wealthier.

It's both sad and annoying. +I am no Police lover, but it is easy to understand their apathy in this case. Most of the murder victims are a part of the gang game, and it's likely that they killed or injured other people. The Police just don't care in this case since it is a part of daily life there, and the victims aren't saints themselves. [linebreak] +Regarding voat links... +That's a good attitude to have if you want your Asian restaurants to go out of business. +Honest question here, how do people decide the general consensus on whether a word is offensive to a community or not? I can perfectly understand and agree with not using a word towards people if they say they don't like to be referred to that way, but how do we determine what is wrong to a much larger group? [linebreak] [linebreak] I think the thing that confuses me the most about "trap" as to whether it is offensive or not, is that the only times I ever see it used in reference to real people or in real life is for NSFW purposes, and I think, at least in my experience, people have very different definitions on whether something is offensive when it's being used explicitly for those scenarios. [linebreak] [linebreak] I guess the long and short of it is, I can fully see and agree with how it would be offensive in just a normal setting, but I'm not sure if it would be offensive if it's being used mainly for NSFW purposes, which is what it is as far as I know. +Nah, Hitler's Germany wasn't true Nazism, it was State Fascism.

Like, imagine your in a hurry somewhere. Maybe your wife just went into labor and you are trying to get to the hospital, or you just have to take a massive shit and you are trying to get home. You need to make a left at the light and a bunch of ANTIFA retards are blocking the street and not letting anyone go. [linebreak] [linebreak] They have no permit, no authority, and no clearance to do this. Calling the cops gets you nowhere and the police do nothing. Honestly, I'd tell the cops that if they won't do anything to clear up the obstruction, I would. And they would not like my methods. I would make Dylan Roof's massacre look like childs play. And it all could have been avoided if the rule of law was just enforced on these tyrants. +Yo I got into my first relationship at 20 after no kissing or anything, my bf didnt even know if i liked him at the time cos i took a while to reply to his texts too. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] And about the people not replying, you need to try to be comfortable with yourself first (obviously you've mentioned that you dont want to be chubby etc.) And the only reason you're boring around people imo is because you're not comfortable enough to actually let loose and have fun. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] If your conversations are boring, it's might be either the people you talk to are boring or you're trying to get through the conversation without actually wanting anything out of it, so you end up droning on and on about things because you feel like you should be talking when you don't need to be. +Unsarcastically: The idea of "pride" for oppressed or disadvantaged groups is a celebration of overcoming the oppression and disadvantage. It's a collective pride in having made it this far while putting up with all the shit. It's not the only requirement in order to be proud of yourself or celebrate collective accomplishment, but it can definitely be a legitimate source of pride. [linebreak] [linebreak] There's not much pride in distinctions of no consequence or ones that are advantages unearned, because there was no hurdle to clear, nothing really achieved. That's why "straight pride" sounds silly or obnoxious, depending on the baggage. This isn't to say "straight shame" is legitimate either, just "straight... is an adjective which applies" is more the right speed. +So you're okay with people getting arrested for eating on a train? +probably april 2021 or so +I think y'all might enjoy this song from our Chinese overlords +You can see your ass out the back door.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] In a few of those cases it did turn out that the black people were technically breaking rules or laws. Whether it rose to the level of having to get police involved is debatable but they were still rule breaking.

They also denigrate the idea of seeking help for genuine problems, selling the notion that you can pull yourself up by your own bootstraps; with only the modest outlay of $25.99 plus tax you too can learn The Secret. [linebreak] [linebreak] Before box sets and big epic tv shows a lot of water cooler chat was people talking about what self-help book they were currently into.

They see Captain Marvel (CM) as being shoehorned into the MCU, and recent leaks, if they are to be believed, suggest that the Russo Brothers have clashed with Disney over CM's role in End Game. The Marvel comics are also recovering from some "forced diveristy" issues that has [completely tanked their sales](https://youtu.be/9CnTDE2zZU0) (e.g., female Thor). In short, people are tired of mega corporations pandering to diversity progressiveness at the detriment of quality products. [linebreak] [linebreak] More specifically, Brie Larson has made several comments about white movie critics and how she is going out of her way to give people of colour press access. In the grand scheme of things, maybe this isn't so bad, but her comments have caused a ruckus mostly because she comes off as [snooty and posh](https://youtu.be/ZA_DNrV6izw). Even feminists have accused her of being a limousine liberal and acting like a white saviour which [she has been accused of before](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/brie-larson-basmati-blues-white-saviour-role-attack-criticism-actress-india-cinema-a8057001.html). Gotta pay those bills though, I guess. [linebreak] [linebreak] The trailers drop for CM and people are unimpressed. This causes media outlets to pump out their preemptive "incels are back to ruin CM" narrative. This attracts negative attention and people go to Rotten Tomatoes to say they aren't interested in the movie. This intensified the tension and more articles were written which attracted trolls and genuine pissed off comic and movie patrons alike. The shit snowball keeps rolling and keeps getting bigger. [linebreak] [linebreak] The movie comes out and reviews are mixed, even from people one might consider "woke". Rotten Tomatoes deletes reviews which intensifies tensions further. People fed up with the "SJWing" of preexisting intellectual properties smell blood in the water and keep clashing with people whining about Trump's America being plagued by white nationalist, sexist, GamerGater incels.

However, I do recognise that I might have driven her away a bit by avoiding to see her back then. [linebreak] [linebreak] I went to a therapist back when I was 17 to talk about this and some other, darker, things. She ended up saying that she didn't treat troubles as bad as mine, gave me another place's number & charged me anyway. I'll never go to a therapist again, since she was not the first one I went to during my life. I went to one when I was 5, another one when I was 12 and another one when I was 14. Neither one of them were able to help me at all with the issue I faced at the time (I don't quite remember why I went when I was 5 but the other two times were because of anger management issues). [linebreak] [linebreak] Last year I thought of fixing my anxiety myself with meds since it got really bad (I got to the point of stuttering once when talking to two girls and one guy), but I couldn't find any pharmacy willing to sell them to me without a prescription so I couldn't do anything about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't know if I like anything about myself. I'm a good friend, I guess? Back when I had friends I always stood by their side and always listened to them when they had some sort of problem. But I don't know... I was always the one initiating conversations & when I decided to let them start one I never heard from them again. [linebreak] [linebreak] And about my life... I don't know.

She refused to see or believe anything that disputed this or evidence that Trump prevents non profits like that from helping detained children/infants. She also didn't like that I tried to explain that her being an idiot for her support of Trump is a compliment because the only other possibility was her being evil.

[linebreak] [linebreak] - Growing up, whenever my sisters or I fuck up, my mom would either yell at us or actually hit us. Heck, we got yelled at whenever we're in our mom's way. This is more applicable on my older sister than the rest of us but there's no exemption. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] - My mom cheated on my dad emotionally. Had an affair with a guy that was doing renovations to our house for 1.5 yrs or so. She also made me keep track of my dad's phone calls as well. I kinda feel bad for her cause she was married at 17 and according to my grandparents "turned into a demon" after. She became a mom of 3 at 23 and was recently diagnosed with anxiety and depression (even though it does not look like it). [linebreak] [linebreak] - Apparently my dad also had an affair w/ a co-worker (or VERY suspect interactions with her) when I was a boy. [linebreak] [linebreak] - My parents would buy gifts for my sisters randomly and use emotional manipulation about it. It got to the point where they feel guilty whenever they randomly gets gifts and I told my parents to never get me anything. It also made me HATE HATE HATE gift-giving to this day.

Good luck finding it though. +This is what they meant when they talked about Russian Bots. +Hey! [linebreak] First thing I want to say: [linebreak] It's okay to not be someone's best friend. I've never had a best friend. I've always been friends with different types of people and it sounds like you have too. [linebreak] There's the people I want to go out with, there's the people that make me laugh so hard I throw up (truestory), there's the people I go to when I feel like shit or need advice, the people I can have really deep conversations with, etc.! [linebreak] Ofcourse some of these overlap, but in the end you have friends because they fill a certain role in your life, and I think that's beautiful. Sometimes you want to hang with the one person, and sometimes you don't, and that's okay :) [linebreak] To me, it would be the worst to have one person you depend on the most. But that's pesonal. [linebreak] [linebreak] The second point I want to make is that this could be an important moment in your life: the friends you have now, you won't want to have for the rest of your life either. You'll move away from each other, grow apart, or take a different path in life, and that's all okay! Maybe you and your current best friend will grow apart. But you'll find new friends, in the weirdest places, that you have the best connections with. It's okay to lose people, in a while you'll be happy for them that they've found their way in life. [linebreak] [linebreak] And if you really want to be someone's best friend, someone with whom you share everything, someone that you trust completely, that won't ever backstab you: you will. If it's not right now, it's yet to come :) it has nothing to do with who you are, everyone is weird and you'll find the right level of weirdness to match yours. [linebreak] [linebreak] Surround yourself with the people you enjoy spending time with, you don't need any labels for that. +Tolkien explicitly described the orcs as being: [linebreak] [linebreak] >squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, with wide mouths and slant eyes: in fact degraded and repulsive versions of the (to Europeans) least lovely Mongol-types. +That last name though...oof. +lol. bitch Ive been jelqing since preteens and take roids like it's my job. you do NOT know who you are talking too and i recommend you cease and desist [linebreak] [linebreak] Outlines: [linebreak] [linebreak] 1. rct.doj.ca.gov/Verification/Web/Dow... - [Outline](https://outline.com/https://rct.doj.ca.gov/Verification/Web/Download.aspx?saveas=CA+Returns+SIGNED.PDF&document_id=09027b8f8037295d) [linebreak] [linebreak] ^(*I am a bot for posting Outline.com links.*) [^(*github*)](https://github.com/LightUmbra/Reddit-archive-bots) ^/ [^(*Contact for info or issues*)](/message/compose?to=\/u/LightUmbra) +Was this murder a hoax? +True.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Also, relevant username +u/vreddit bot +I think this is a thought nobody is going to let go of until a few more years pass. Awareness is very lacking for many things, going from rape arguments to differences in how depression and confessions of feelings are treated (for example a woman confessing for needing help often receives a different treatment from everyone nearby her compared to a male that is mocked for his weakness or kind of receiving a disgusted reaction, especially by the opposite gender). [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I have received more or less the same answers you received, although in my case it was always forceful molestation. There is still this underlying thought from men that mostly see the other sex as a chance to be sexual with rather than human beings first, but not when without them, mostly with strangers or friends or acquaintances. I think in a few years things will change, and hopefully the awareness of rape being a general problem, depression and sadness being top priorities to fight along obesity as cause of death, will progress once and for all. +It's the hypocrisy/cognitive dissonance of the left +Naah.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I'm pretty sure Wongbal didn't actually check why the "neckbeards" liked the movie. Because the romance subplot is widely considered the **weakest** part of the film. [linebreak] [linebreak] #SPOILERS FOLLOW [linebreak] [linebreak] I also like how Alita "has to be taught how to do everything". "Everything" apparently doesn't include **battling**. Which is, again, *what people are seeing the movie for*. The reason she doesn't know about civilian life is, implicitly, she's never *been* a civilian. +Good on you for being so great with the restaurant dog! [linebreak] [linebreak] The dog in the restaurant is interesting. To my knowledge ESAs have no federal protections in restaurants. It's mostly that they get to live in domiciles and travel. I'm guessing your state could have extra protections. Your thinking is very considerate and I like that. [linebreak] [linebreak] My last dog wasn't an ESA but he was a trained therapy dog. I say "trained" but he was a 3 pound long-hair chihuahua who already loved cuddles so it was mostly I who was trained. He would visit hospitals and nursing homes and even after he's passed we've kept in touch with some of the nursing home folk. [linebreak] [linebreak] I plan on doing the same for my little guy. He'll be 3 this fall and it might be the right time. [linebreak] [linebreak] >It seems to me we need to have much clearer rules. We need to be able to have purely animal free places for people who legitimately need it and places that allow it. The issue is that when you give a landlord the option, they will generally choose no animals since that is the cheapest option. [linebreak] [linebreak] Agreed. [linebreak] [linebreak] >Why are they worth less than people who need ESA's? [linebreak] [linebreak] Agreed as well. Everyone's health concerns deserve to be taken into account and I do not envy the people who have to figure those things out. [linebreak] [linebreak] But like you said, clearer rules are needed. Not only for people who can't be around animals, but in situations like universities that aren't even the best/healthiest places for people, is it really in the best interest of all (including the animals themselves) to have animals in such tight, possibly unhealthy environments? [linebreak] [linebreak] What my college did was have animals from a local shelter come for visits every now and then and advertise them heavily. It's not quite the same as having a companion but it went a long way to reduce stress and anxiety. +Rebuilding a cultural artefact is now keeping white supremacism alive.

[linebreak] [linebreak] No thanks, it hits a little too close to home for me. +Lol, lazy fucks +I am sure if this idiot tried to tell the owners of the restaurant all of this crap that the owners would tell them to fuck off. Money is money, and in the restaurant business you want all the customers you can handle. [linebreak] [linebreak] Edit: Also, never met people from other cultures who didn't enjoy sharing their food. I am white and married into an Asian family, my father in law loves it when I try and enjoy some of the oddball (to me) stuff that exists in Filipino cuisine. He even gets a laugh out of my reactions when I really don't enjoy certain things at all. Food is how people as a society can bond and get past tension that might exist, yet these SJW assholes would ruin that. +I mean, it's sad that this is probably a tit for tat. It's a little coincidental that these 'restrictive' abortion laws came months after New York made Abortions 9 months into a pregnancy legal and celebrated it. Then it was followed up with a Governor talking about 'post birth' abortion. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think abortion was at as good a place it could be.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I can say that she could be my future wife if she dropped a few habits, but I honestly don't see her doing so. She smokes cigarettes and does a lot of recreational drugs; cannabis, mdma, psychedelics, and has recently been interested in dmt. She has mild depression, diagnosed anxiety, and doesn't have any hobbies. Because she doesn't have any hobbies, she is always smoking marijuana daily, and she is always looking for the next opportunity to do mdma(once every few months) and I feel like her life is revolving around recreational drugs, albeit this is not heavy usage, purely to pass time. She is obsessed with having children and more pets, but at times her depression leads to neglect her current pets. She is insistent on having children in the future, but I can easily see the drug habits and depression affecting the well-being of her child and any future pets she wants to adopt. She does not see her drug problem as an issue, and says that she has the will to quit of necessary, but I don't believe her because I have seen how low her depression can pull her down. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] As for some background on myself, I'm a quiet introvert with a lot of hobbies, stable job with a mortgage, I occupy my time with various things, like home improvement, computer games and watching netflix. I also have a lot of creative art hobbies that I do from time to time. My view on recreational drugs is quite lax, I am aware that they do have inherent health risks and toxicity but this isn't the sub to discuss that. What I am willing to say is that I also enjoy recreational drugs from time to time, but I'd prefer it to be less frequent, and for it to not be the main focus of an activity. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Since being with my girlfriend, my drug usage has increased, and often times we will resort to smoking weed just to pass time. There is also a heavy expectation on me to sort out activities and entertainment for any given weekday, and she will complain loudly if not occupied. This will often default back to smoking more cannabis, which I'm not the greatest fan of. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I have suggested many times for her to adopt a hobby, but she dismisses this and continues to occupy her time with drugs, when I try to push the matter, she will need to smoke cigarettes to alleviate her stress. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I honestly love my girlfriend, and I can see us staying together indefinitely if we stay on a similar path, but her insistence of a child conflicts with her cigarette and drug use. I would have no issues with her lifestyle if she didn't want a child; but as she is so clucky and unwilling to care for herself, I feel that any child brought into this world will be in danger. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I really don't know how to approach the matter, and I have been thinking about this for the longest time. I can't see her using less drugs, changing her mind about having a child, or picking up hobbies to occupy her time, and this is a major hurdle in our relationship. I can see us being best friends, and her having a child with another person, but I would still worry about the welfare of the kid, and breaking up and remaining mutual friends is always an idealistic situation that rarely works out.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Blacks do go into the woods to enjoy the outdoors through activities like hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, etc... But, blacks only make up about 13% of the population of America. Also, not many blacks actually go into the woods; only a very small percentage of them are active in the wild outdoors. Therefore, I suspect that of all of the humans that regularly go into the woods in North America, probably less than 1% of them are black. [linebreak] [linebreak] Why bring this up? My point here is that Bigfoot is not used to seeing black folks. This may provoke certain responses by a Sasquatch when it sees a black person, such as: [linebreak] [linebreak] 1. Confusion; [linebreak] 2. Fear; [linebreak] 3. Trepidation; and [linebreak] 4. Curiosity [linebreak] [linebreak] I believe that all of these are responses that can work to our advantage. All of these potential responses will cause a Bigfoot some amount of pause, and this slight pause may be the difference between getting off a kill shot and not. [linebreak] [linebreak] The fact is, sasquatch does not regularly see black people. Chances are better than not that when a Squatch sees a black person that it will be the first time it has ever seen one. It may get scared and freak out, or it may stand there and stare. [linebreak] [linebreak] As a practical matter I think that a technique worth trying is to take a black person on some hunts. See how the Squatch population reacts to the black person and take note. I am aware of no other groups that have tried this, so I will be very interested to see the results. [linebreak] [linebreak] There are all sorts of variations on this concept. The goal here is to throw a Bigfoot off balance with some sort of odd occurrence in the woods. The idea is to create a weird scene in an area where Bigfoot are present and which is not threatening to the creature. At the same time, you want it to perplex the BF to the point where it is standing there just scratching its head at the spectacle. While this is going on we will have snipers strategically placed whose job is to locate the Sasquatch and to put a bullet in the animal's head. [linebreak] [linebreak] Here are some other ideas I have to cause a Bigfoot to pause due to confusion: [linebreak] [linebreak] 1. Outdoors sex/orgy: Get some skanky swingers group together and get them into the woods to screw and orgy in a Bigfoot hotspot. This will really pique a scratch's interest. At some point a Squatch will stick out its head to see what the fuck all that sucking and slapping noise is, then one of our snipers blows his brain out! [linebreak] [linebreak] 2. Poker game in the woods: same concept as the orgy but less gross. It probably will take longer to attract a Squatch. [linebreak] [linebreak] 3. Strange looking people: these are people that Squatch are not used to seeing. For example, dress up like a party clown and walk around in a hotspot zone juggling bowling pins. [linebreak] [linebreak] 4. Fighting: put together a group of low-life fight-club types, take them into the woods and let them fight. The noise and weird scene will generate some Bigfoot interest. [linebreak] [linebreak] Some believe that Sasquatch are something like forest ninjas: fast and stealthy. I think that if you do something truly weird then we may be able to confuse and agitate the animal. Confusion and agitation does not comport with stealth and concealment. Therefore, we take the Squatch's advantage away from it. This will make it t more likely to show itself and, thereby, give us a shot at it. +I was playing devil's advocate.

Plus, the Duggar's oldest son molested his own sisters when the girls were small children. The girls were encouraged to forgive him because Jesus (and then had to publicly forgive him on a talk show...) and the brother was never formally charged. Rather, they just shaved his head and sent him to a construction project for a few months while they hysteria died down. So yeah, I get that without context it seems like a ridiculous thing to snark about the Duggar's.

[linebreak] [linebreak] good times. +the "experience" of being trans? bitch it's a fucking mental illness, not a rollercoaster ride +Slut has always been an insult for women, not men, and virgin has always been an insult for men, not women. This whole dichotomy exists because of the different ways in which men and women pursue sex. [linebreak] [linebreak] It is not difficult to attract sexual partners as a woman. The same is not true of men. Attracting partners is actually challenging as a man, so the ability to do so is seen as that - an ability, a talent, a skill. Now, a woman who has high standards will find difficulty attracting a man who fits them, but it is fundamentally not hard for a woman to find sex if that's all she wants, so choosing whether to be a slut or not is always a conscious choice. If she wants sex, she can get it. If she doesn't, she doesn't. Right-wing society says the choice to be a virgin is the superior one, left-wing society disagrees, but it's still a choice. [linebreak] [linebreak] For men, attracting partners is not a choice, it's a challenge. Thus, calling a man a virgin is not at all like calling a woman a slut. Instead, it's akin to saying "you've never successfully performed this challenge", like saying you're unathletic because you can't throw a three-pointer, or unintelligent because you can't pass an exam, to the point that even the few straight men who consciously choose not to pursue the challenge of wooing women tend to be put in the same basket as those who try and fail. This is why the word 'virgin' is an insult to men. +https://youtu.be/PHzOOQfhPFg +Even with the commenters disagreeing, I'd personally recommend deleting that post.

I'm scared that I will find out that there is no afterlife and that death is just you being gone, no consciousness is what I fear most. If there was an option for when I die to have no consciousness or go to hell. I rather go to hell. This fear is really starting to bring up my anxiety. Sometimes I just lay in my bed at night slowly going into a panic attack knowing death is inevitable and that one day it's going to happen to me. I wish science was farther ahead allowing us to be immortal. idk, I just wanted to rant and get this off my chest.

I didn't do so well on the first one. Now is my chance to prove I can do well. I study for a week straight. 4+ hours every day. And i get a 65%. In the car, my dad asks about it. I say I got a 65, which was better than last time, and not an F but a D, and I got my last exam score (55%) replaced with this one. Dad asks what I have in thr class, and I say 75%. [linebreak] [linebreak] Mom says "you might want to rethink being a chem major if you can't do community college level chemistry." I'm 17, in high school, and I'm going to a local community college through a program my school offers. She has already brought it up before, and I was really doubting myself. I just say "haha yeah.." because I don't really know what else to say. Its been hard motivating myself and finding a goal I want to achieve, but being a biochem major and getting my bachelors degree in Science is the one goal I've made for myself. Its what I've been working with in mind for the last 2 years at this college. I almost have my Associates. And now my mom is telling me I can't achieve my goal. [linebreak] [linebreak] My dad says "no no she can do it, it will take a little work, but she can do it. Everything takes work." I don't say anything because I don't want my mom to keep going on about it. Last time she talked about this, I was in the car by myself with her, so I just had to sit and listen to her tell me I'm not good at chemistry, wasn't in high school, isn't now, and why do I want to be a chem major when I'm bad at chemistry. But I felt better about having my dad in the car because he usually says something when my mom goes too far with something. [linebreak] [linebreak] She always used to ask me why I don't have any goals in life, why I don't care. Because whenever I have something I love doing or something I want to work towards, you always walk all over me and make me question whether or not I can do it, whether or not I can do anything. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] When I was applying to universities, she said I could apply anywhere, that now was my time to start becoming more mature. She always goes on about how college is my time, my time to do what I want, be who I want to be, and how I can go anywhere. [linebreak] [linebreak] I said I wanted to apply to UW Seattle. [linebreak] [linebreak] Yes, perfect! [linebreak] [linebreak] I guess I can apply to UW Tacoma too. No, you are not applying there! [linebreak] [linebreak] Why not, it has a small school size which is what I want, it's still University of Washington thats the one school I have always dreamed of going to every since I was a kid. [linebreak] [linebreak] Because, you are not applying there!!! [linebreak] [linebreak] I want to apply to both UW's with dorms I've always wanted to go there, XXX (my boyfriend) is going there too! [linebreak] [linebreak] You know you're not going to be with him when you're in college right, you're not going to be together very long, you know you're not getting married, right? You're going to meet so many new people in college, you think he's not going to meet any new people while he's in college? He's probably met people already (he's a college freshman this year). [linebreak] [linebreak] She always asks if I have crushes on any of my male friends. Asks if I feel anything for them. If there's something between us. I don't understand why. She's not joking. She's being completely serious. It just makes me uncomfortable. And always makes comments about my boyfriend finding someone else to be with at work or at college. [linebreak] [linebreak] As I was showing her my prom dress, she said, [linebreak] [linebreak] Maybe you'll get to wear it in college, some guy might invite you out to a fancy event! [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm going to prom with my boyfriend and I have never been more exited to go to a school event. I've never gone to school dances, events, anything. But my boyfriend wanted to share a special day with me, and that's what my mom had to say about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] I wish she could recognize that I'm happy with him, and even though I know it may not last forever, I can hope it will and appreciate the present. Just because you wanted to date a lot in high school and college, doesn't mean I do. [linebreak] [linebreak] I just needed to vent +While you were partying, I studied the ~~blade~~ social sciences +Agreed.

No, your group was made to look the fool, and you made your neighborhood worse. [linebreak] [linebreak] The way to reduce this type of crime is to understand that nobody wins.

When they do it's like..a gentle silent buzzing in my head, and a strange physical prod in my gut. I can tell those who put on happy faces but are truly suffering..And tell the difference between truly troubled teens and those who say things like "I'm so depressed...mum took my phone away. I'm so impressed I hate this family!". [linebreak] [linebreak] That's how I got the Mama nickname. I take on board troubled youths, show them the kindness they deserve and teach them that no matter what, love and friendship are the way forward.

[linebreak] [linebreak] For many people, pride isn't "just" about celebrating being gay, its about celebrating that DESPITE being gay, we have survived the harassment, the violence, the depression and anxiety. Its about remembering those who did the hardest of the work to get us to where we are today. So yes, we absolutely should be proud of being gay and all the baggage that has come with it. Straight people aren't attacked for being straight. You have never been denied a job for being straight. You have had the privilege of being in the majority. To marry who you love.

He was doing paintball but I was just helping him organise it so everyone can have a good time. [linebreak] [linebreak] We went in the morning and it was great, heaps of fun, 10 of us all best mates. After paintballing we went back to my friends place. We had planned to hang out for the evening in his back yard, with chill music, yummy food and just happy times to celebrate a good blokes birthday. [linebreak] [linebreak] We were only there together for an hour before everyone disappeared saying they all had things to do. So I hung around with him for the afternoon but it just being us two got kinda boring so I went home. Then later on this evening we were playing Xbox when we checked Snapchat maps. All of the people who we "busy" were all hanging out in the city. [linebreak] [linebreak] All our "friends" left my best mates 17th to go hang out by themselves. After seeing this we both realised that they had been hiding their plans from us all week. Hiding their phones when in group chats just not talking to us about the party. They basically turned up for free paintball (which is expensive!!) And left for themselves.

What he says is *technically* true, he skips over a lot of stuff that would have built context and often uses character assassination during his interpretation of events to make a person sound evil when he can't easily debunk something. For example, he was doing a video on Crowder's reference to the crusades and he pulled up a map of the records of all battles between Muslims and Christians during the Reconquista, he had no idea what he was looking at(he so focused on the crusades, that the Muslim-Christian conflict during the 700 year long Reconquista never entered his mind) so he called the person who came up with it a white supremacist and moved on as if he had somehow proven him wrong. +Yes.

If you are sick, unemployed or old, there would be a social security to guarantee you a minimum level of existence. However, there is no upper bound on how much a person achieve. [linebreak] [linebreak] > In socialism, there is often a lower bound, but more importantly a very strong upper bound. There is a strong compulsion to not allow anyone to get too rich, by the government controlling all methods of production. [linebreak] [linebreak] > There is an absolute poverty and a relative poverty. If people are dying/suffering without the basic necessities [such as food, clothing, shelter] there is absolute poverty. If some are a lot rich and others not so rich, then there is relative poverty. Welfare capitalism worries primarily about absolute poverty, while socialism worries more about relative poverty. For capitalist it often doesn't matter that there is wealth inequality, because those are natural [not all gets Olympic medals, Nobel prizes, honor, awards for instance]. For a socialist, inequality is a problem. [linebreak] [linebreak] > A capitalist nation with a welfare system is pretty much capitalism. There is no fundamental change.

Sure, the Supreme Court has stopped states from using literacy tests to keep racial minorities from voting. For example, it wasn't OK for southern states to combine impossible to pass literacy tests [like this one](https://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/news/jimcrow/question/2012/pdfs-docs/literacytest.pdf) with grandfather clauses that said if your grandfather was eligible to vote (i.e. not a slave) then you could wave the impossible test. But literacy tests applied without racial discrimination have always [been upheld](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lassiter_v._Northampton_County_Board_of_Elections). [linebreak] [linebreak] It was a law, specifically the Voting Rights Act of 1965, that banned literacy tests, not some Supreme Court ruling. And really, that national ban is probably on shakier constitutional grounds than any neutrally applied literacy test.

The other mods, without discussing it with me first, changed the rules on how mod posts were going to be made in the future and tried to punish me with reduced mod duties (which boiled down to not being able to post content to the boards as a mod...whilst still modding and handling code and reports).

This is like the third topic I remember in as many weeks where it's been phrased this way. Again, why not just say *black people*? It's the same number of characters. But it's almost if the bodies in question don't belong to people. They belong to a social justice cause, and to the collective identity known as *Black,* a hive mind of sorts. Notice how they even capitalized the name. +Agreed +Hey, we dont make all of our jokes about killing gays..... Some gassing jews..... And sheep fucking amish.......

I was just shown this and was asked to share my POV. [linebreak] [linebreak] So the baseline of what I understood is that she associates with EVERY woman displayed anywhere. So if a woman is stupid, shy or subserviant, she feels insulted. [linebreak] [linebreak] And my point was: everyone is an individual, you are not all of those women. [linebreak] [linebreak] And then she said that I should also feel bad if there is a stupid man in a movie, but I have no point to feel that way. I am not that guy. [linebreak] [linebreak] Originally all stick figures in the game were male and it was also perceived as that by many, so I decided to put in female stick figures as well. So her perception that they look genderless was not shared by most. [linebreak] [linebreak] In Supraland there are a few dumb teeny fangirls admiring a suprastar. That was the worst moment for her. She says that all women in the game are weak. She ignored that the main woman, the queen, is more dominant than both of the kings and is showing them the way, and she is also ordering the player around. [linebreak] [linebreak] So it seems that she wants all women to be strong and dominant. But the thing is, what hormons people run on is different from case to case. Depending on what happened to you in your life you run on different hormons. For example when a woman loses her man, she usually becomes more masculine to be able to survive and she becomes more feminine again when she gets a man again. [linebreak] [linebreak] Some women run on masculine hormones and are the tough ones. Many women are very feminine and enjoy being subserviant - and because of that nature they have no voice in public, because only dominant more masculine women are so extrovert to raise their voice. That is probably the reason for the disconnect between the media and the people. [linebreak] [linebreak] Same thing for men - many men are more on the feminine side and soft and also have a hard time in this society with it. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] And my point of view in general: let everyone be just the way they are and let them do whatever they want. Don't force feminine people into being masculine, don't force masculine people into being feminine. Everyone is an individual. +I would be astonished and baffled at a lot of stuff too if I made shit up that didn't match reality. +Try to find a friend team to play with.

She got the house she wanted. She got the cars she wanted. I did all of the housework. I did all of the yard work. I learned to cut down tall trees and turn them into small logs for her. I learned to repair cars for her. I took her wherever she wanted go. Plays, vacations, concerts, art shows, festivals. Some days I would actually sit on the riding mower and think about how lucky I was. [linebreak] [linebreak] Then my wife suffered an aneurysm. I spent 10 days shuttling between the hospital with my wife and the home with our kids. Whatever she wanted I brought to her. Whatever the kids needed, they got. The balls stayed in the air. [linebreak] [linebreak] In the months following her release, I took care of her like a nanny. Whatever she wanted she got. She wanted a new car. We got her the top of the line package. She wanted a new TV. She wanted a new laptop. She wanted new clothes and a new kitchen. Done and done and done and done and done. [linebreak] [linebreak] She entered peri-menopause. Everything that she could not control became Enemy. She became paranoid. She obsessed over the minutes between my end of work and when I got home. She obsessed over my daily mileage. An extra tenth of a mile or an extra minute meant that I was fucking the neighbor. She claimed that I tricked her into buying the new car and the new kitchen when she was weak. We did not have sex for the final three years of cohabitation. [linebreak] [linebreak] The kids began to suffer. She became increasingly volatile and violent. Many times I came home to a broken interior door or a hole in a wall. If I was home I had to be ready to get between my wife and my children at the drop of a hat. He rmother pleaded with her to get professional help. Our pastor pleaded with her to seek professional help. I agreed to see a therapist with her and, after our third session, the therapist told her that she should seek help from a PhD level neuropsychologist. [linebreak] [linebreak] Eventually the kids moved out of the house. She demanded that I remove them from my will. She demanded that I stop supporting them in any way. I was to stop their annual gifts. i was to stop paying for their health insurance. She threatened to call my HR department, pretending to be me, and remove them from my benefits. She stole tens of thousands of dollars from their accounts and was charged with multiple felonies. My children asked the prosecutor to go lightly on their mother and the charges were dropped after she returned their money. [linebreak] [linebreak] Eventually she filed for a TRO because she claimed that I was stalking her. I moved out and filed for divorce. [linebreak] [linebreak] I have offered to give her everything. The house that is nearly paid off and easily sold or refinanced. The cars that are paid off. Every single piece of movable property. All I want in return is my retirement. I just want to be shut of her. She refuses to respond to my offer. [linebreak] [linebreak] She has filed for disablilty benefits so that she can receive spousal support. She has filed for multiple TROs, all denied. Denied but costly to the defendant. If one stuck I would probably lose my job. [linebreak] She is hell-bent on bankrupting me even though it bankrupts her, too.

It's because in tragic situations like that, conservatives are generally able to restrain themselves from resorting to "whataboutism" and trying to redirect the public focus to other things that fit a narrative. You just don't see that kind of restraint as often on the left. [linebreak] [linebreak] Even when antifa does things that are undoubtedly horrible and can't possibly be justified or defended, then if nothing else the left will try to shift the focus away and demand that people remember all the bad things that right-wing extremists have done instead. +Well, it worked for the Raptors... +UK Anon attacked by Mooslooms +Damn sounds cool +Everything's a theory. +Sure, but that's not what OP's post was about lmao +*points to flair* [linebreak] [linebreak] Yeah, I know.

I think that they were different before that too. However what got me into Reddit was the atheism subreddit which gave me solidarity and made me feel like I wasn't alone at the time in my lack of religion.

I'd be soo damn infuriated that it would propel me out of suicide and give me a reason to live again. Your dad is a sorry excuse for a man saying that to his suicidal child. Disgusting. I can set a standard that makes him an irrelevant worm in comparison too. But that isn't fair, is it? [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] If I were you: "Oh alright. Well then, with that, our "relationship" has actually just ended. I will no longer speak to you again nor ask you for help. Since you seem nonchalant about my existence in this world, goodbye. Don't speak unless it is in an apologetic manner for the absolute filth you just hurled at me. As for the financial matter, thank you for stating the terms of business. I'll work out a way to sustain myself, since you both have made yourselves abundantly clear. I do not and will not expect monetary aid from you. Thank you." [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm in a similar place as you. Both of my parents are acting insane, though one of them actually is a sociopath. And yes I've had suicidal thoughts on and off almost my whole life. My sociopath parent has plenty of money, houses, etc. We've never had a relationship except when I was a baby(doesn't count). I've literally told this parent to not put me in their will. It was to send a message. What's that message? [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Money isn't love, and I don't need that from you. I never needed it. I needed a parent, but now it's too late and I'm indifferent(or more accurately don't WANT a relationship). Just like you've been my entire life. If you don't have an innate desire out of your own heart to help your own child, then I absolutely do NOT want anything at all from you. I don't accept blood money. Period. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Leave your parents house ASAP. I'm telling you. I waited too long, don't be like me. Do it NOW. You won't heal/grow properly unless you do. They're probably the ones making you suicidal. Leave and rely on yourself if you have to. That's what I'm doing right now and it feels awesome. If you have to wait and save up money for college I say it's worth it. The satisfaction of not taking a dime from your parent that doesn't care if you exist is priceless. Be independent ASAP. You have innate worth and dignity just by virtue of being a human being. You need to respect yourself too, and know that you have worth. Just because they are your parents, that does not give them impunity to hurl crap at you without consequences. Stand up for yourself, respectfully. Be confident you're in the right and don't let anger consume you. You have value, and are valued, and nobody can take that away. Work however much it takes to get out. Once you're independent and floating your own boat, reexamine your suicidal thoughts if they're there still. I know it sounds kinda dumb but literally tell your suicide to take a back seat and do this task first. I can guarantee you will AT LEAST feel better, and maybe not suicidal anymore. Process of elimination, eliminate the two glaring suspects. Don't keep debating within yourself like "Oh maybe I can stay longer and they will treat me better" etc. In your heart of hearts you know whether or not your living environment is toxic to your mental health.

She was physically disabled with a birth defect, although she had a college degree and was mostly independent. But she never dated, never had relationships. She was extremely lonely and isolated. She was in so much physical pain as well, and was completely addicted to pain medication. (oxycontin, etc) This is after a lifetime of surgeries (over 75-80 of them) and hospital stays. Unlike most with severe mental disabilities, my sister KNEW how screwed up her life was. She HATED it. She contemplated suicide several times. She had to be on antidepressants, go through therapy. I can't even imagine what would have happened to her if she had been born to a family who couldn't have afforded the best for her. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] The point of all of this is this. As a sister of a loved one who had to call life and death....literally...3 times for my sister's life and watch her go through hell and back, there is no way in hell I would ever NOT abort a fetus if I found out my baby had the same disability. And yes, we had to screen carefully when I was pregnant as I have 2 siblings with this disability. (the other sibling died as an infant) I live in a state passing a heartbeat law, and it pisses me off to no end that these religious political zealots put no value on the quality of life. I would never want any loved one of mine going through what my sister went through. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I have family members who post shit on Facebook every day, praising these new laws. I want to smack them, or call them out. These are the same damn family members who didn't visit my sister ever when she needed them most. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I miss her every, single day. And I'm so grateful she has found peace now. +I didn't vote for Trump either. I just know stupid bullshit and brainwashing when I see it! +Jerck off +This is why we need full auto ARs with extended mags.

She also happens to like this singer so I asked her if she wanted to go with me as a date. [linebreak] [linebreak] Okay [linebreak] [linebreak] > I said I can book us a hotel room and we can spend the night together. [linebreak] [linebreak] oof [linebreak] [linebreak] > Nowhere do I even say that we have to share a bed...

Phones are generally banned and only limited broadcast entertainment permitted. After three years in 'maximum' confinement, some prisoners may be transferred to a less restrictive prison. **The aim is to encourage "reasonably peaceful behavior" from the most violent 'career' prisoners.** [linebreak] [linebreak] Which quack reasoned that to be true? That won't work, it will only make them more miserable. Or you can take that as they become emotionally stunted like a zombie.. +Well, yes but actually no +Maybe you can take her to the concert and stare wistfully across the hotel room at her? +I suppose it's just a visceral reaction. Like my aversion to coprophilia or bestiality. I find the concept of two men sodomising each other to be sickening. Honestly, I don't care what people do in the privacy of their own homes, within reason. If two men want to practice homosexuality in private, then that's their concern. But I object to the normalisation of homosexuality because I think that it's a revolting tendency which should not be considered normal or healthy, nor should it form a part of accepted society. I despise transsexualism because it is clearly a form of mental illness, and accepting it enables it. +>Also it's kinda gross [linebreak] [linebreak] >Grow up [linebreak] [linebreak] Pick one.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [We know the motivation is there, from their holy book](https://imgur.com/a/4c3JDw7). +How dare you report someone for shit content +Unlike others, I won't share details that were supposed to remain between mods. I will say that, in fairness and to set a record straight, that I was told I could remain a mod, with all the responsibilities of doing the dirty work no one wants to do (like coding, going over the volumes of reported posts made in a day, and trying to keep the peace); but, I wouldn't be allowed to post anything. Without talking to me, really, they decided that any mod posts, except for theirs, would need consensus from the group (which isn't a bad idea...) starting at that moment (after it never being a thing before). I was being demoted a punished for a post that didn't violate the TOS and I pointed that out. I was told that I was then being limited because I engaged some of the comments and two old guard members were upset. As I said, it is what it is and I wish the subreddit well, I'm just not ok with how it was handled and am disappointed that, after never being sanctioned and never having been reported by ANYONE until that day, suddenly, there were problems. I wish everyone on that forum well. +Worst. Noose. Ever. +GOOD NEWS: Pakistan is pregnant again.. +I posted this on another subreddit and no one got it +At this time in my life, considering all that's occurred in my life, I'm pretty sure I'm what you would classify as asexual. No desire for sexual contact or sexual relationships. The concept of sex alone makes me uncomfortable. [linebreak] [linebreak] This makes it hard to have any discussions about my current relationship with my girlfriend because the people in my life that I love dearly keep telling me that "I don't know what I'm missing" and "You'll change your mind after you have sex for the first time" like no you guys aren't understanding I don't WANT to have sex and they just can't understand the concept. [linebreak] [linebreak] My mother claims it makes no sense, and that my natural desire as a human being should be to breed and it's just frustrating because otherwise my family are wonderful people. It just frustrates me sometimes, and then I feel bad because asexuality is so uncommon that no, they shouldn't immediately understand it. [linebreak] [linebreak] But I hope they can, even if they don't understand it, at least support me and my feelings sometime down the line. I won't lose sleep or hate them or anything but I would like to not hear "You just don't know yet" anymore. +[OC] Why is youtube like that?

Since there is no animation industry in my country I'm working hard to go out and taking freelance from abroad is a huge help as my country asks for quantity over quality and it already has a bad rep and is not good for the portfolio. [linebreak] [linebreak] So,2 days ago I got a reply from the same university, from being rejected I'm now selected in the university and I'm more than happy. Leaving this country will slingshot me out there which I'm definitely positive about. [linebreak] [linebreak] And I've taken your words, much appreciated for the comment. It helped me motivate evem more. About the linkedin thing, I'll try that too. [linebreak] [linebreak] Thanks again! +I'm not into football but the typical Indian *uber* crowd is only into European clubs and most probably most football fans don't even know the captain of Indian football team.

You were **born** with a sex. Male or Female. And don't drag out Intersex ... Intersex conditions are sex-linked. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you believe then you are a sex other than the one you were born as and **don't** experience Dysphoria what are you complaining about?

Could you add a couple more dramatic threads in the write-up? I will re-approve it once it you have done so. Just reply to this comment once you have. +Nah there isn't anything to play off but different cultures i suppose. Our parents clip our ear for being cheeky but they would be disappointed if we werent a bit lippy. +This kids is what mental illness looks like.

I still don't find it insulting or offensive. In fact, I agree, it's fucking scary, because, old treatments for mental illness Were fucking scary. the illness not so much, the people, not so much... but the doctors... yeah. +The Milkshake Menace Continues +This is what marketing people call 'razors and blades'. The profit margin is in the blades, but you don't make any money off of them if you don't have a good razor. For theaters, the movies are the razors and concessions the blades. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's technically correct to say they "make more" off concessions, but you can't sell a $10 bucket of popcorn if you don't have a good movie playing at the same time, so on the whole it's misleading. +Low effort meme. +I'm not giving my guns up.

Still, judging by the number of upvotes, the moderators were not really prompt in doing their job. +So what is the purpose of rpics if you cant post pics there? [linebreak] [linebreak] And how does Reddit not being FB justify being an asshole? +No, I know how you feel. My family was the family that respected my friends more than their families..

The only times I've seen things people really mix things from the book with historical fact in that sub are, zhuge Liang's inventions being treated as facts, liu beis usurpation of Tao qians faction being taken from the book, the characterization of guanyu as being one the second best duelist in the period(nobody actually knows). Whenever the baby throwing or cannibalism pops up and somebody doesn't know if they are fictional events somebody in /r/totalwar usually clarifies that they are fictional pretty quick. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] edit: Just for clarification Liu bei did usurp Tao Qian's faction in real life. In the books he was asked to do it and refused multiple times. In reality it was more like a coup and he initially refused out of political considerations. +Wasn't the issue that TD didn't moderate enough of its shit?

Like, the quality of generals and tactician he has access to is just insanely stacked. [linebreak] [linebreak] Zhaoyun is a legendary general. He is not as famous as lu bu in the west, but he is far more famous of a character in East Asia and is basically a lu bu tier martial warrior that is the perfect knight. Think galahad. From Arthurian legends. The way he is potrsyrd, dude is as invincible of a warrior as lu bu, but without the treachery. [linebreak] [linebreak] So he risked his life and fraught through a whole army single handed to get his lord's son back. Liu bei was so touched by his action that he felt nothing could be worth risking such a loyal man of talent. Him throwing his son to the ground is an outburst of emotion over how grateful he is to the general. He didn't actually throw him, he got stopped in time (or Zhao Yun caught the baby). Either way, a baby wasn't hurt [linebreak] [linebreak] Literary analysis of the scene is actually pretty interesting, since there is a school of thought that presumes Liu bei to be a master manipulator. A guy who knows how to get the best people to be loyal to him. From that perspective, he did what he did to put on a show for Zhao Yun. [linebreak] [linebreak] Also, remeber that romance of the 3k basically fiction. +Hey! Some of them only help OTHER people kill brown children +if you would pay to have sex with someone like cardi b, you deserve to get drugged and robbed. no sympathy for these men +They ran a cartoon a few weeks back that could be straight out of Der Stormer.. nothing surprises me about that fucking yellow rag anymore.

That's why I asked them. Some people (non-disabled) just want someone to provide for them so they don't have to be adults. (Again, not implying.) [linebreak] [linebreak] With that being said, I do understand the long haul thing. Of course, we all want that. It's human fucking nature. And it sucks that you got your heart broken. I have too. And for similar reasons. [linebreak] [linebreak] I read through your posts and I realize you're just ranting, and that this is the place for that. Catharsis is good. But I really was looking for clarification on your point of view. [linebreak] [linebreak] And to also say like these other folks that I really do get it, and that you're not alone. +He didn't make a miscarriage joke, or a joke about women that can't be pregnant, so none of that was even remotely relevant. +bad influence!!

[linebreak] [linebreak] The problem I have with this is that he's saying he wants his girlfriend to put in more effort for him, than a random woman did. [linebreak] [linebreak] Why should I do more for him, when a random woman got to fuck him with like zero effort on her part?! [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't want to do more knowing we could've had sex without all the extras. I love oral as much as he does for example, but I don't like having different rules vs his hookups. I told him this, and he basically got angry. I'm not sure what to say next or if I'll even date him.

The typology pretty much assumes that everyone is either 100% straight or 100% gay, and just realllly fucked up sexually when it comes to kinks. [linebreak] [linebreak] Personally, I'd say that with the inclusion of tumblrite AAP gaydens and the acknowledgement of bisexuality being a reason for potential AGP/AAP behavior due to a wider spectrum of attractive features leading to a fetishization of one's own attractive features, it would be a nigh-on perfect system. +There are two kinds of hard - [linebreak] [linebreak] Ahem, let me rephrase that.

[linebreak] [linebreak] One reply: [linebreak] [linebreak] > In a communist system, there should be alternative ways for you to take such an initiative. There should be institutions setup to make sure you have the resources and labor power necessary to accomplish your productive/distributive goals. This would massively increase innovation and creativity within society and allow for the complete transition to full communism. Until we setup these kinds of institutions, full communism remains theoretical. [linebreak] [linebreak] So hiring workers in a normal capitalist system isn't adequate enough; therefore government has to step in, and possibly force workers in there if necessary. [linebreak] [linebreak] But having an "adequate" number of workers means that the owner no longer owns the means of production ... [linebreak] [linebreak] That proposal is not only insanely inefficient and counterproductive, but it also provides an excuse for the government to steal the owner's stuff and enslave him or her some more.

They remark that gender is just a social construct, invalidating their own made up identities. [linebreak] And the only difference with a transgender person is they're constantly pumping their body with hormone replacement and have gone through surgery to look like the other gender. Biologically, they're still the gender they were born as. [linebreak] Most transgenders have more mental issues than just gender dysphoria, many normally have bipolar and other personality disorders to go along with it. Yet it's "transphobic" to point out the natural observation that their mindset isn't a healthy one.

If the cops try to stop me, I'll threaten to kill myself as I throw White People's guts at them.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Piece of shit. +I'm pretty sure it was the male audience bashing and the ridiculous "what's that? It's the patriarchy raining on our parade" jokes that plastered Captain Marvel with the "SJW pandering" reputation. [linebreak] [linebreak] Wonder Woman and Alita, both superior films as far as advancing women into lead roles in healthy ways, were also minorly criticized at first - some felt Gal Gadot wasn't the right actress for the job, some mocked the CGI eyes in Alita. The difference was that the people behind those 2 films realized that some people are just gonna be dicks and kept on focusing on their advertising on people they hadn't reached yet. Seems that kind of professionalism where you just don't go batshit psycopath on people giving you the slightest criticism is a lost art among the major entertainment companies these days unfortunately. +As I learned from this thread, it's because he sucks +Yeah it makes you wonder if there could be a future where businesses are dictated by political parties, some sort of weird dystopia +Well if you're already insecure.. +This is my unironic thoughts as well. +For the record, not all atheists are douchebags.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Also, I understand that because of your upbringing having someone "take your virginity" can be a big deal, but know that just because you had sex with someone it doesn't make you less worthy. The emotional turmoil is strong, I'm well aware, but not being a virgin anymore doesn't make you a slut or whatever. [linebreak] [linebreak] To me the emotional side of the story far, far outweighs the physiological slight change. A hymen maketh not the good woman. [linebreak] [linebreak] Rape victims aren't debauched people. You've been abused, deceived, to me you're in a situation closer to having been raped than just dumped. Do not let this experience define you. [linebreak] [linebreak] I suggest you read about the psychology of the raped person, you *weren't* raped but I think you may find info not completely irrelevant to what you're going through atm. [linebreak] [linebreak] You take care girl, you'll be fine. Keep on going in your philosophical path, to me it's fine if you remain a believer as long as that doesn't make you hurt others or yourself. But don't go around thinking you owe your family or a future bf / husband to remain a Christian, a virgin etc. You do you. [linebreak] [linebreak] Peace prevails. +Yeah cause Londoner are really going to go for cow tripe, chicken feet, and stinky tofu.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I made the mistake of telling them this when they were yelling at me about wasting my time and being lazy and getting bad grades and I'm not shitting you my dad told me "well if you're gonna be lazy and just waste space in the world you might as well do it." I'm not even doing that poorly. I have all A's and a B. And the B is in fucking physics for pre med college students, it's hard. [linebreak] [linebreak] And they actually asked me *why* I'm suicidal. I just fucking am I can't help it it's been like this for 5 years but it's been a lot worse recently. Then my dad fucking turns to my mom and asks her why she was suicidal in high school and she says "because my parents didn't love me or care about me and put me in dangerous situations, and I didn't tell anyone I just attempted but failed," and then turns back to me and says "what's your excuse? do you really think we don't love you or something?" Like I'm sorry I'm losing the My Life is Hard competition but I can't just stop feeling like this. And then he finishes up with "you won't actually do it. you're too selfish." Honestly fuck my life at this point. [linebreak] [linebreak] I started crying and told them I just want some support right now and my dad said "you really think we don't give you fucking support" and went on some tangent about how hard his life is because of me and how much he does to support me like no I'm talking about right now this topic I just want you to tell me it's gonna be okay. [linebreak] [linebreak] All of this was after a like glorious 2 month period of my parents being really nice to me then they hit me with all this shit. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm so hurt and starting to think I can't be around them anymore.

Yesterday outside the vet office was my worst one, where a dog ran up to me off leash barking and not quite growling so I got into an aggressive stance and yelled "Hey" a couple times at it while it stood in front of me barking and moving around trying to decide if it wanted to run towards or away from me.

Unfortunately acknowledging the actual problems confronting men are largely caused by patriarchy is a non-starter for a lot of men. +No, there are plenty of lazy and dumb women.

Literally the only thing I asked the new mods when they took over the sub was that I wanted no leg humping or fawning over the family. The Duggars get praise everywhere the idea was that the sub was one place they wouldn't get any. As the sub grew however the posts started to change. A lot of more sympathetic posts appeared and instead of hiding them or whatever people started badgering the mods and arguing with each other. There are four other subs to discuss the Duggars and yet people insist on going on r/duggarssnark. I don't get it. One of the mods was harassed so much they left. There is now constant trolling for absolutely no reason. [linebreak] [linebreak] I do think a big issue is that people don't get how reddit works. You can hide posts and block people, downvotes and upvotes mean nothing. I get downvoted all the time, I don't agree with some of the posts so I hide them. Am I neutral? No because there once again 4 other subs on reddit, facebook groups, instagram accounts, forums etc. that are neutral.

It is easy to be isolated, refused, frail, and to think you have had all the time in the world to know how things work. It is easy to let the hatred or spite that grows from the feeling of injustice get the better of you. It is also easy to let yourself down.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Good things will come for you once you let yourself open. But to let yourself open you need not to let yourself down, not to think you understand the world, relationships and partners as well as you might do, and especially, you need to take the risk of losing time and offering yourself a chance with people that might not appear as commited as you wish, even if it is not what you think you want. +jannies aren't people +When I vacation I go to the south because the people are so nice there, regardless of race, sex, anything!

Fine, EdD, a professor of education at California State Polytechnic Institute in Pomona and editor of the "Handbook on Animal-assisted Therapy: Foundations and Guidelines for Animal-assisted Interventions" (2015)... [linebreak] >>But psychologists shouldn't write such letters cavalierly, say experts who have examined the issue. Because writing such letters could damage the therapeutic relationship, psychologists shouldn't write them for their own patients. And even forensic psychologists should tread carefully. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's not all fantastic and there are difficulties. Universities in particular are almost never set up for animals and they are seeing a large increase of ESA requests. [linebreak] [linebreak] There's also the issue where you can basically just go online and get an order for one, without ever really meeting or seeing the person who writes you a letter. I've seen some sites require a "quick phone call" and some that don't even require that. [linebreak] [linebreak] Considering the benefits, I think ESAs are an overall great thing. Even though there are obstacles or issues that have come up, it's worth tackling them and trying to find solutions rather than abolish the program or hate them out of spite because some people abuse the program like the posters in the OP. [linebreak] [linebreak] We can reduce "ESA fraud" if that's what we want to call it, but I think it's worth taking the effort to minimize harm to innocents while closing any loopholes or making changes to the program. [linebreak] [linebreak] The university situation in particular is interesting. In a lot of dorms things are already cramped and diseases can spread quickly.

She even killed our ~600 day snapchat streak a few months ago for practically no reason. Sometimes she'll randomly send me a meme or two on Facebook and I'll try to start a conversation with her, but 95% of the time the conversation ends with her leaving me on read. [linebreak] [linebreak] Sometimes, I'll see C's other friends around on campus and they'll ask me if I've ever heard from C, because they haven't. Because of this I know this isn't something C's just doing to me, but she's doing this to all her friends. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm happy that C is happy in her relationship, but I'm hurt that she's practically cut off myself and all of her other friends. Since I'm graduating in a few months, I want to spend as much time with all of my friends as possible before I leave campus.

The Germans, he told him, had begun shelling Red Army positions along the frontier. Stalin refused to believe that a full-scale invasion was under way. Surely, he told a small gathering of civilian and military leaders in Moscow later in the morning, Hitler did not know about it. There must be a conspiracy among the leaders of the German armed forces. It was only when the German Ambassador, Count Friedrich Werner von der Schulenburg, met Foreign Minister Molotov in the Kremlin to hand over the German declaration of war that Stalin recognized he had been duped by Hitler. Initially shocked, embarrassed and disoriented, Stalin soon pulled himself together. On 23 June 1941 he worked at his desk in the Kremlin from 3.20 in the morning to 6.25 in the evening, gathering information and making the necessary arrangements for the creation of a Supreme Command to take charge of operations. As the days went by, he became increasingly dispirited by the scale and speed of the German advance. At the end of June, he left for his dacha, saying, in his inimitably coarse way, 'Everything's lost. I give up. Lenin founded our state and we've fucked it up.' He made no address to the Soviet people, he did not talk to his subordinates, he did not even answer the phone. German planes, indeed, dropped leaflets over the Red Army lines claiming that he was dead. When a delegation from the Politburo arrived at the dacha, they found Stalin slumped in an armchair. 'Why have you come?' he asked. With a thrill of terror, two members of the delegation, Mikoyan and Beria, realized he thought they had come to arrest him. [linebreak] [linebreak] And gave the famous speech, rallying the soviet population behind him. [linebreak] [linebreak] > Within a few days of retreating to his dacha in despair, Stalin recovered his nerve, if indeed he had really lost it. Some thought he had retreated into temporary isolation like Ivan the Terrible centuries before, to demonstrate his indispensability. A State Defence Committee was set up, with Stalin himself in the chair. His retreat had given him the chance to rethink his role. On 3 July 1941, the same day that Franz Halder confided to his diary his belief that victory had already been achieved by the German forces, Stalin spoke to the Soviet people over the radio, for the first time not as Communist dictator but as patriotic leader. 'Brothers and sisters,' he said, 'friends!' This was an entirely new note. He went so far as to admit that the Red Army had been unprepared for the attack. The Germans, he said, were 'wicked and perfidious . . . heavily armed with tanks and artillery'. But they would not prevail. The Soviet people had to organize civil defence and mobilize every ounce of energy to defeat the enemy. It was necessary to form partisan groups behind the lines to cause as much damage and disruption as possible. Silence, lies and evasion, people felt, had at last been replaced with some kind of truth. Communist Party propaganda began to emphasize the defence not of the revolution but of the motherland. The party newspaper, Pravda ('Truth'), dropped the slogan 'Workers of the World, Unite!' from its masthead and replaced it with 'Death to the German Invaders!' Nikolai Moskvin noted on 30 September 1941 that 'the mood of the local population has changed sharply'. From constantly threatening to betray him to the Germans, they came round to the patriotic cause after learning that the occupation authorities were keeping the collective farms going because it made it easier to collect the grain for transporting back to Germany. [linebreak] [linebreak] > The speech's patriotic appeal was all the more powerful because people were already beginning to learn the bitter realities of German occupation. Stories of the horrors of the prisoner-of-war camps mingled with eyewitness reports of the mass shooting of civilians and the burning of villages by German troops to produce in the still-retreating ranks of the Red Army a determination to fight the enemy that had been almost entirely absent in the first chaotic days of the war. When the city of Kursk fell, the Germans arrested all the healthy male inhabitants, penned them into open barbed-wire enclosures without food or water, and then put them to work, guarded by Germans wielding rubber truncheons. 'The streets are empty,' noted a Soviet intelligence report. 'The shops have been looted. There is no mains water and no electricity. Kursk has collapsed.' +It's not saying these things are equally bad lmao why is that hard to grasp +Arnub got angry +But Indian minorities and Secular Hindus would.

He didn't come across with another date until he found someone he thought was interested in him. She did wrong but he also did when he made arrangements with her knowing she was the backup in case he didn't find someone better. They both wanted what they wanted and were unwilling to possibly do without in order to treat another person kindly. [linebreak] [linebreak] He could have said that their arrangements to go together were contingent on whether he found a person that was dating material to go with him. That's fine. You have to think that some women are told guys are just going to use them for sex, so finding out a guy doesn't want to do something friendly together when he doesn't think he will score bugs some women. Like being friend zoned does for men. [linebreak] [linebreak] They both did wrong, but I think she was the one with the most responsibility because she shouldn't have accepted the offer if she didn't want to date him. +If it had been a joke about ice cream they would be singing a different tune as well.

I don't think you are a loser :) [linebreak] [linebreak] I think by making this post it shows you do want to change, and by having regret over not doing things at the end of the year it shows you want to change as well. That is important, if you don't really have the drive to grow, then you aren't going to. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't know where you live, but perhaps there is a community center, or a park? A place for you to walk? Going to a center or a park where there are people could help you make friends, and get exercise as well. If you don't know how to break the ice with someone, giving them a compliment might work, or asking them a question about something they have with them (like, "oh that's a cool phone, what kind is it?"). Take the conversation from there (if they seem comfortable with the confrontation). You can't make friends if you don't put yourself out there at least a little. [linebreak] [linebreak] I also don't know your interests, but go to places where you can find people with similar ones. If you go to a store that has things that interest you, even talking to the employees could help. They probably have an interest in the thing too, and they have to be welcoming to customers, so it is good practice to try talking to them if you are still uncomfortable with the idea of making friends. Also, chatting with people online leads to more practice as well as online friends that can be there for you! [linebreak] [linebreak] For losing weight, start simple. Don't tell yourself you are going to start going to the gym everyday if you don't think you will, and don't feel bad for knowing how much you can or can't handle. Again, I don't know how chubby you are, but you know yourself. Take a walk everyday, introduce one healthy food into your life (or take away one unhealthy food) every week if diet is a problem for you. And let yourself have a cheat day, it can help you in the long run. If you are scared to work out in public, buy some weights of your own and watch some Netflix while lifting them. Make it somewhat enjoyable so you stick with it, so ooh don't get discouraged for not wanting to follow through. I believe in you!

Have you by any chance heard the term "Highly Sensitive Person"? We (I am one as well) are a real thing, it's determined by your nervous system, which in HSPs is more developed than average. Almost 20% of people are HSP's and also there happen to be highly sensitive ones among animals. It serves a purpose, because they are more sensitive not only emotionally, but also sensually, so they are more likely to notice if something is wrong. Highly sensitive animals are the guards because of that. It used be so with humans before we could depend on technology to be safe and sound. Anyway, I consider high sensibility as some super power and with great power comes great responsibility.

I asked ParkRanger about banning and she said something really vague about some people being banned for shady reasons during all the turmoil, and that she was willing to revisit those bans yet she wouldn't confirm who was doing the questionable banning. I don't know if it was her, Trailangel, or some other mod. But she did reinstate some people who had been banned. Who knows! I think at this point if the mods don't reign in the people who started the drama (who Trailangel called the old guard) things will continue to spiral. But I think the old guard folks have too much power and influence with the mods so there is unlikely to be any action taken against the people who are stirring up the drama & so the drama will continue. +They also unironically used organizational money to go stalk Null from Kiwifarms +Trusted and actually telling the truth are two different things.

[linebreak] [linebreak] My whole issue with this is it's true that most of the last several generations 'get the majority of their news' from the daily show. It's probably caused a bigger partisan riff between the parties than Fox news. [linebreak] You then try to point out the in accuracies, when they lie, their bias etc and are greeted with 'it's just a comedy show' from the same people that treat it as the most trusted source in news. +But if we're talking about farms and orchards and factories won't that cause an increase in the costs of basic staple items, making it harder for poor people or people on fixed incomes to buy them? +Th is should be sanity cause it's true.

[linebreak] [linebreak] So yeah, don't twist words. +Thats totally valid. Even the sensitive people have tells that something is much more serious than usual, for example if completely shutting down instead of crying is very abnormal you might take that more seriously. Anytime anyone has signs of distress that are very abnormal it should be taken more seriously than your regular having a bad day/getting your feelings hurt.

They're all ideological echo chamber designed to keep "the wrong ideas" out of the spotlight. [linebreak] [linebreak] That said, this blog does a shitty job of characterizing the responses they received. The bioresearcher didn't say animal studies were unreliable. That was the author's interpretation of their response. They said that animal testing has known limitations. There's a huge difference between "unreliable" and "has known limitations." Going on to call the respondent a "vivisectionist" didn't help their case any, either. There's no way the author could know that the respondent actually cut animals open as part of their work. Using the term was just an attempt at emotional manipulation while personally attacking the respondent. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'd like to see the threads in question to be certain, but based on the blog post itself it sounds like the author went in with an ax to grind and pissed everyone of from the word go. It's no wonder they were being accused if being a preachy vegan. +The only thing that can't touch Heatran is your attidude +shouldn't it be ourstory?

Do you forget the value the tower had while it existed? Why is it meaningless because it has a time limit? What about the work completed there, or the shelter derived from it, or the lives lived benefitting from it? And when the knowledge or materials or skills that went into building that tower are passed on to build another tower, and another tower after that, doesn't that make the first tower meaningful as well? [linebreak] [linebreak] Returning to the topic of this thread, even if your life has a time limit, some use their lives to create more life. Life is meaningful, but limited. Creating more life from your life is just one of many ways to create meaning beyond your time limit... but doesn't negate that your life is meaningful even within it's time limit. +Four year olds do not use nappies. +Apparently they think if they keep calling her all of these great things she will eventually become it.

Because she's spent a career trying to curb stomp our most basic fundamental rights.

It's a messy landscape, and to be perfectly honest the way that a lot of news outlets have come to write stories on what controversial tweet is trending is garbage reporting and absolutely lazy. +It's the complete lack of banter about them.

Cao Cao's character is greatly informed by his orders and actions, alternately being merciful or merciless, generous or greedy, piously adoring or rebelliously denouncing his superiors as is most expedient in the shrewdness of the moment. He simply has no underlying morality, though this is not unique among the novel's main characters. What may make Cao so infamous is not only how successful this made him, but also that he made fewer oblations to filial piety part of his core public identity. His greatest rivals, the Suns and Wu, the Yuans, Shu, all make high profile acts of familial devotion and their close relationships (also often quite shrewd) PR talking points everywhere, Cao Cao does not bother except as necessary and expedient. [linebreak] [linebreak] For example, Shu plays a constant shell game of political heat between the oath brothers and they become masters at it. The most notable time Cao does something similar is at the very end of his life, where he orchestrates a quick shuffle with his son where Cao Cao formally deposes the Emperor and installs Cao Pi shortly before his death, then the new Emperor posthumously pardons and recognizes his father as the actual first Emperor of their dynasty. +That sub won't even let me post there to get myself banned.

His level of conservation activism still remains unmatched. Fuck off PETA you hypocritical, lying scum. +I think the OP has the theory that Pikachu is popular because it's always portrayed as being a faithful always-loyal companion. The theory is that since "everyone is sad and lonely", they've been brainwashed into loving Pikachu because Pikachu is portrayed as being an eternal friend. [linebreak] [linebreak] Further, they're arguing that this is similar to the way conspiracy-style communities recruit people. As that [flat-earther documentary on Netflix](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8132700/) showed, a major recruiting point for 'crazy' groups is the companionship of a community. Lonely people often gravitate towards these kinds of groups because they're more willing to accept outsiders, and are more tolerant of deviant behaviour. [linebreak] [linebreak] That in itself is accurate, but using it to describe why people like Pikachu is pretty crazy. People like Pikachu because it's a cute critter, which is brave, fun to watch, and (usually) reminds us of our childhoods. +you realy think some backwatercell should have the right to vote? +The whole thing was so silly. As an April Fool's joke, sure. Go nuts. But to keep doing it for the purpose of raising awareness was a waste of time.

Martha Stewart began showing Oprah a very efficient way to maneuver a bed sheet, and asked Oprah to grap one corner of the bed sheet. Sensing she didn't have the spatial ability to perform the task competently and not wanting to look foolish in front of millions of TV viewers, Oprah was forced to adapt. Instead of grabbing the corner of the sheet, Oprah spontaneously ran to the audience to grab a Martha Stewart fan.

[linebreak] [linebreak] This started a few years ago, when I was big into writing fanfic - something I'm trying to get myself back into eventually. I write for a fairly niche fandom; it's not *small,* but it's also not terribly active these days, either. I'd made a few acquaintances through it, either way. [linebreak] [linebreak] One of these was a woman roughly my age - let's call her "Jill." We kind of hit it off, being active and discussing the series on one of the message boards; we liked and left feedback on each others' stories, chatted a bit in private. We bonded over personal stuff, a bit, too. And for the curious, this was a platonic thing - I'm a gay guy, she's a straight(?) married woman. [linebreak] [linebreak] Anyway, we wind up being friends on Facebook, and I think that may be where the trouble started. [linebreak] [linebreak] Thing is... I know what it's like to *be* clingy. I've had to deal with the fallout from it in the past, and it's something I've really tried to work on, something I get very self-conscious about whenever I make a new friend. In the past, I've had friends who would say nothing about it until they reached a breaking point, and then they'd be pretty harsh about it when the dam finally broke. [linebreak] [linebreak] The point of this is that... Jill was quite clingy herself. It came about pretty quickly after a certain point. Like, within less than half a year of our knowing each other. [linebreak] [linebreak] She knew my working hours, but she'd constantly message me to talk when she knew I'd be sleeping, or getting ready to go to work, or *at* work. Or when she knew I was trying to take time to myself to do something else - gaming, writing, whatever. Sometimes I'd talk a bit, or tell her I'd talk to her later when I had a chance (like if I needed to get ready for work, or bed, or something). If we went more than a few days without talking too much, regardless of the reason, she'd kind of guilt trip me over it. "I missed talking to you," "It feels like it's been so long since we talked," et cetera... mind that it was generally maybe 3 or 4 days at most between conversations. She'd also get down on herself, and I can't tell if she was being manipulative or what. "I know I'm probably boring/annoying/not much fun to talk to. I'm a wreck." Things like that. I don't know how to respond to stuff like that other than just "No you're not" or whatever. I'm not good with that stuff. She knew that. [linebreak] [linebreak] I did try to be tactful and point out to Jill - more than once - that while I enjoyed talking to her, hey, I had to sleep, or work, or get ready for work, and I had other stuff I needed to get done. I didn't want to outright *say* "You know I have a life outside of you, right?", but then again... maybe I should've? [linebreak] [linebreak] Either way, she kinda ramped it up. Asking for my address so she could send me stuff I'd mentioned offhand (I mentioned in a Facebook post that I was gonna save up to buy a keyboard, she offered to send me one if I'd give her my address - and it was at a point where I wasn't comfortable with the idea). Trying to find new excuses to strike up conversation ("I had a dream that something terrible happened to you, so message me when you get this, because I get freaked out over stuff like that") even though we'd spoken only a day or two ago. [linebreak] [linebreak] Eventually, I got tired of Jill not getting it, and got so uncomfortable with her and her clinginess persisting despite my stated discomfort with it, that I ghosted her. Blocked her on [Fanfiction.net](https://Fanfiction.net), blocked her on Facebook, on my phone. I was getting really stressed out from dealing with her. And maybe I should've been more sympathetic, because I'd been her before. I'd been that person whose co-dependent nature pushed people away. But even seeing a notification from her stressed me out majorly. She seemed to want me to be her therapist (never mind I have a ton of my own issues to deal with), to be on-call for her when she was lonely (never mind that she has a husband she seems to love deeply and was always praising him), and so on. [linebreak] [linebreak] Apparently, after I ghosted her, Jill took it pretty hard for a while. [linebreak] [linebreak] Thing is... this was over a year ago. You'd think she'd have maybe moved on a little since then, yeah? She has other friends, as far as I know, that she really gets along with well, too. She seems more social. [linebreak] [linebreak] Except, last week, another writer we were both friends with (I'll call her "Claire") PMed me on [Fanfiction.net](https://Fanfiction.net). Mostly to say hi, let me know a new game was coming out in the series that we all wrote for, that she was excited and all that. We weren't all that close, but she'd message me periodically to chat. I respond, say "hey, Claire, I'm excited too, sorry I've been so quiet lately but I had a lot to deal with recently, hope to get back to writing soon." [linebreak] [linebreak] She responds, says she hopes so too, and also, "Hey, why don't you drop Jill a line? She's really missed you this past year." [linebreak] [linebreak] So, apparently, Jill still doesn't get that I'm not comfortable talking to her, and despite my pointing it out multiple times, she doesn't get that I wanted space and boundaries and stopped talking to her because she didn't respect those. So, now I'm anxious again, even though I don't have to interact with her if I don't want to. I just wish she'd move on and stop clinging to me. I have no idea *why* she even clung to me to begin with. It's just irritating. [linebreak] [linebreak] TL;DR: Extremely clingy and codependent friend drove me off because she didn't respect that I needed space, and she's still clinging to me over a year after we stopped talking. +The ol' switcheroo +I hope so. +haha, I still just go with my old school DE for when i DO shave. +The debates didn't matter in 2016 because his base is too stupid.

I've been eating whatever I want because if I try and restrict what I eat, it just sends me down a really unhealthy guilty path that I'm not in the place to go down anymore. [linebreak] [linebreak] The problem is I've gotten fat. My BMI is technically healthy (23) but we all know it doesn't mean anything. I'm in the middle of some serious exams and I can't excersize right now because I need to study all the time. All I can feel is my legs touching and my stomach rolling on itself and my flabby arms and the extra skin on my back and the flab on my waist and my fat neck. I don't know how much of this is dysmorphia and how much is me being fat, but I'm fine most of the time until it hits me in waves like it is now. [linebreak] [linebreak] I tried to take some nudes and my body just seemed wrong. I tried to put on a pair of shorts but they've gotten so tight they barely fit. I bought all my clothes when I was BMI 16.5-19 and they're so tight and ill-fitting now, and I can't afford more. [linebreak] [linebreak] I really just wish I could take a scissors and chop off all the fat. It's so unfair, because whenever I see someone who has told me they recovered from an eating disorder, they look normal. They haven't gained loads of weight like me. I just want to go on a diet, but I promised myself I'd eat whatever I want until the end of this year, to let myself get used to this new body. If I start dieting I'm scared I'll just hate myself more. I'm so annoyed I just wish I didn't feel like this. +From looking at the calcs, flamethrower didn't look "way worse" but just not as good. The biggest reason to run flamethrower is the accuracy, which the guy mentioned. I don't play competitive much but I do find it annoying with massive damage-dealing moves hit with bad accuracy. Fire Blast is at least 85 but whenever a Stone Edge or Focus Blast hit, I always shake my head. [linebreak] [linebreak] I understand the guy's logic here. Basically, it's a toss-up over whether you go for pure damage and some risk over guaranteed solid damage and no risk. There is no right or wrong answer to this. Just how willing are you to play the odds on 85% accuracy is all. +im a japanese lesbian and i find japanese women to be adorable, shoot me [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] no seriously please someone shoot me +My emo punk rock garage band was called Brain Zaps, google us, we put on insane shows with slime and dancing girls.

It's biology tricking us into 'enjoying' ourselves and ignoring our death. [linebreak] [linebreak] By pointing out that we're simply biological organisms, you're proving my point. That we're just animals. If we go along with animal pleasures like food and sex we're giving into ourselves.

[linebreak] [linebreak] > This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone August 16-20, 2017 among a random national sample of 1,014 adults, including users of both conventional and cellular phones. The results from the full survey have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by SSRS of Glen Mills, Pa. [linebreak] [linebreak] This is what I had read initially and had thought all 1014 answered each question, I hadn't seen the specific vote counts. That's my mistake, though I don't think an n of that size necessarily renders a poll worthless, and I still stand by my view that "nobody supports them except those in the group" is an exaggeration, and a potentially dangerous one at that. [linebreak] [linebreak] I also want to point out that the concern isn't so much the people that some people may currently support neonazism or white supremacy, it's those who aren't necessarily in that world but are susceptible to brainwashing and propaganda. Before probably the late 90s/early 2000s you had to join a group to be radicalized. Not the case anymore. It's the same MO that ISIS uses — find young men who are somehow emotionally susceptible to propaganda; maybe they hold a lot of anger in, maybe they are (understandably) sad and resentful that they can't find someone to date, maybe they have some unresolved trauma... and they find an ideology that for some reason is an outlet for that — it gives you something to express your anger and emotions at (even if it may not be wholly logical but someone can convince you it is). You don't have to meet up with people to be a white supremacist. You don't have to indicate it to anyone outwardly. As long as you don't express it in public, and you contain it to your online persona, nobody really ever has to know. But that doesn't mean you're not a white supremacist. It's still infected your mind and poisoned your thoughts. And you do, quietly, support those whose actions support the lies you've been deceived by. [linebreak] [linebreak] ^just to be clear, this is in a generic "you", I'm not accusing you of any of this [linebreak] [linebreak] > hit in the head with a baton or bat [linebreak] [linebreak] I hope it's clear that I don't condone this whatsoever. And this isn't okay regardless of the victims political affiliation. [linebreak] [linebreak] > majority of people agree it's bad, which is not the case with the things antifa does. [linebreak] [linebreak] But in order for this to be at all relevant — you would have to believe that antifa is exactly as bad as all the white supremacists and neonazis that I linked. Again, can you point to any political assassinations or murders by antifa? Or any things that are directly parallel to *any* of the stories I linked? [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm also *very* doubtful that most people don't disagree with antifa in general, let alone specifically the violent actions. [linebreak] [linebreak] > The difference between supporting assholes. [linebreak] [linebreak] Do you think all assholes are created equal or something? Would a guy who gets road rage and brake checks you be as much of an asshole as a guy who leaves his 2 year old child in the car while he gets smashed at the club, crashes head on and kills 5 people including his child? [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] People don't have to think about these things in a completely black and white way. You can agree with a particular groups intentions and motivations without condoning all of their actions. Just because two groups do bad things does not by nature of that make them equally immoral.

[linebreak] [linebreak] **I propose that once upon a time Reddits subreddits were about discussing a subject.** [linebreak] [linebreak] So /r/Food would be about discussing food. /r/News about discussing News. [linebreak] The same way even the political and other more divisive subreddits were about the subject itself. [linebreak] [linebreak] Even if /r/Socialism was run by a socialist and /r/Capitalism by a capitalist the purpose was not to create a community of socialists or capitalists but discuss the subjects, events and happenings concerning them. [linebreak] [linebreak] Today almost no sub is about about discussing it **but being part of it, being supportive of it, being loyal to it.** [linebreak] (Exceptions for like "True, or Truetrue subs). [linebreak] [linebreak] This is why TD bans even supporters of **Donald Trump** when critically analyzing the presidents actions in say his ever more hawkish appointments. [linebreak] [linebreak] Or why various socialist subs ban outright **socialist members** for lifting the issue in Venezuela from a critical point of view. [linebreak] [linebreak] Or even why the mods in /r/Food will ban you for criticizing someones food, or notion of food or beauty or taste of food. [linebreak] [linebreak] The concept of what a sub is about has changed. Or rather what a sub is *for*. Subreddits are no longer divisions of topics but divided communities. [linebreak] [linebreak] I remember on one of my older accounts one of my first banishments was in a subreddit for something literally called "/r/soylent" (from the movie Soylent Green) and rebranded as something positive. I was absolutely downvoted and then banished after a prolonged discussion (with little give and take) and I've seen this mannerism now spread to all sectors of Reddit. [linebreak] [linebreak] We either need to change this very fundamental of perception in ourselves or we must accept that even completely benign and neutral subreddits like say /r/News or your local subreddit will be taken over by a particular group and that group will congregate around their definition of the subject and then proceed to isolate voices that do not adhere to that as it progresses to define itself, whether openly or subconsciously. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] We must rethink what we use reddit for or concede that this is the future. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] ____ [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] A way to stop this would be to change a fundamental concept of Reddit. To forbid subreddits from having selective enforcing based on any stance on any one issue. [linebreak] [linebreak] So you could talk as much shit about socialism as you wanted in a socialist sub as you could talk shit about capitalism in a capitalist sub as long as you followed the rest of the subs rules. [linebreak] [linebreak] I honestly think that it's either this or we might as well shut up about it, because organic change might not come about as all the subs are now protecting themselves against brigading and "concern trolling" and other such things the same way an arms race in real life functions. So either make them all bend the knee or the struggle is pointless. But at least we can come to a common understanding of why it is happening, hence this thread. This way we can also stop acting out as victims of a particular ideology, religion, sex, location, interest or what ever when we get banned. We are victims of one side of Reddit, nothing else, sadly. +AKHAND BHARAT PHIR SE AYEGA INSHALLAH INSHALLAH +You definitely did not fuck up.

He can fly, he can throw his hammer like a homing hammer, he can summon lightning, he has insanely super strength, plus he can down a pint in a single gulp and ask for another before you have time to even raise your glass.

Like a whole other community knows/figures out how pathetic lawlz is +**Context** [linebreak] [linebreak] This subreddit focuses on the Duggars, an American fundamentalist Christian family with 19 children from the same parents. This denomination of Christianity is extremely strict. Most of the women only wear skirts below the knee, the children are homeschooled, and they reject modern music and media. The Duggar family had a reality television show called \*19 Kids and Counting\*, which ended due to backlash when it was discovered that the oldest son molested four of the sisters. A new show, called \*Counting On\*, focuses on just the adult children and their lives after the scandal. Both of the TV shows used to have their own subreddits, but they became mostly inactive. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] This subreddit drama focuses on r/DuggarsSnark, a subreddit created to make snark about the Duggar family. However, there has been discussion between members on the subreddit concerning what constitutes snark and what constitutes "leghumping." Leghumping is fawning over or praising the Duggars, which is not allowed on the sub.

I thought maybe I'll have a better way of getting more contacts and opportunities if join a college for my masters program. So I applied to a college and today I finally got my result from the college and it was a rejection. Our result is based on a portfolio so they mentioned it wasn't competitive enough. [linebreak] [linebreak] Im very passionate about animation and art and I know this is where I'm headed and I already have the knowledge and already making my own movie. However, the result may have pushed me to push myself more, I somehow low-key feel like after all these years (I started 3D art a long time ago and also have a degree btw) I'm still useless and not worth it. It made me question my own art. I know I'm not that good but I know I'm not that bad either.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Tldr; same as the title. [linebreak] [linebreak] EDIT: [linebreak] So 2 days ago, I got a mail from the same university and from being rejected I have now been accepted.

Which is how they can accuse statements rooted in biology to be "transphobic," because it gets in the way of being treated preferentially to the rest of the population. [linebreak] [linebreak] That's also how you can still be considered a hateful, harmful, *dangerous* person even if you treat transgendered people the same way you'd respectfully treat anyone else. I have a strong suspicion the fellow claiming TiA is a hate sub considers anyone who *doesn't* provide enthusiastic praise for being trans as "hateful," hence why I mentioned the Anakin Skywalker mentality. [linebreak] [linebreak] Which would necessarily include a lot of the transgendered/nonbinary TiA regulars who aren't fond of this shit either. Then again, activists like these are quite notorious for treating dissent among their own favored demographics as treason. +That sub is a hellhole +They called the attempted murder of Steve Scalise self defense because he was against universal healthcare.

What I'm going to say is a lot easier said than done, but it's a true fact. You must first love yourself and learn to be happy with yourself before someone else can truly see your value. When you look to them for reassurance, they can feel it. It pushes them away. The hard part is finding out what you love about yourself and what it is that you find fulfilling. But you have to or you'll be stuck in this constant feeling that you care more than others do. In which there's a truth to it, you are valuing them more than they value you. They in turn are valuing themselves more. So you need to value yourself more. +oye libtard [linebreak] lunn fadle +>Using the term "white knight" unironically [linebreak] [linebreak] https://i.imgur.com/pPdNZ3c.jpg +One just opened near where I live..l legitimately serving tripe.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I'm glad to hear she did at least try and can see he went way way over the top. Maybe try talking with her 1 on 1 so maybe since she has experienced similar feelings in the past she would be more understanding of your perspective and how serious it is and that you do need support. [linebreak] [linebreak] A few comments said that you need to cut ties the toxicity in your life but at the moment that is more or less impossible and would cause too much grief for you and they are a part of your support network and that's something that is important to have (a support network) and maintain. I think your dad is just confused and doesn't know how to handle just mental health on a whole maybe having a heart to hear with your mum could help her help him to learn more about this kinda stuff so he can help you because I'm sure all he wants is to help you but just doesn't know how to, and maybe he is struggling aswell and just doesn't know it properly sand doesn't currently have the mental capacity needed to take proper care of you. There are so many things that could have attributed to his his actions that have nothing to do with you and could be a case of poorly directed and understood emotions, Has he been under any stress or pressure at work?, Unexpected bills, a loss of a loved wrong?, problems at home or job security? , or maybe him seeing you at the age you are taking steps into college has him thinking of the past or whatever and that's gotten him down(like him not being where he'd like to be in life idk I'm not a councillor). Idk sorry you said like everything was lovely before so I'm trying to think about what could be the underling cause for why he reacted in such a horrible way, I'm sure he regrets what he said and feels bad for it. I hope he does. And I hope he will come around soon and acknowledge what he said and apologises to you. Sorry I hope you get what I'm trying to say. [linebreak] [linebreak] But above all you need to look out for you and trying to protect your mental state is most important so if that means ASAP moving out work towards what you have to do to achieve that so you can at least get that space to become level headed which in turn will help you be able to feel better. And hopefully fix and build a healthy relationship with your dad if you do decide that it is something you want. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] It will be hard, you will have feelings to end it all, you will want to give up and it will feel pointless. But I promise you that it won't be worth it. You will struggle your entire life. Everyone does in their own way that's just the sad 'shitty' fact of life. But as life goes on you build experience of dealing with the shit life throws at ya and get better at coping with your thoughts and feelings and someday in the future you will be faced with a problem and then think back and think to yourself "wow if X was a problem 2 years ago that would have been enough to make me tie the rope there and then. But it's a problem now and I'm okay". And that's something you will be happy to acknowledge that you have progressed in yourself and all the suffering we go through conditions us to who we are going to be in the future like for example if in the future you become a parent I have no doubt you will be a amazingly supportive and loving parent because you will understand what it's like to feel certain feelings.

[linebreak] [linebreak] *however*. [linebreak] [linebreak] if someone is like, a self-identified incel, and they've taken their virginity to be some kind of symptom of a systemic problem with the opposite sex, then they're getting into territory where I'm okay with making fun of them (although even then i tend to feel more sympathy than humour in the situation). and I'd make more fun of them for believing the world is 'chad and stacey' than anything else. +Why does the existence of a poor deal worked out by a union invalidate this?

[linebreak] JK Rowling has for a while now been doing this thing where she announces outisde of the narrative that certain characters are "diverse" in whatever way, but diagetically in universe within the narrative of the world itself there is little to no evidence to back up these claims. [linebreak] Supposedly Dumbledore and Grindelwald had a passionate relationship-- but in a film very much about Dumbledore and Grindelwald this is explicitly only given as Dumbledore initially having had admiration for Grindelwald's philosophy - leading to their pact of not stopping one another - and how that got soured by Grindelwald's genocidal side. [linebreak] [linebreak] Rowling has basically been cashing in on the diversity of her books/films without actually writing this diversity into them. [linebreak] Anf this frustrates the fans because if Dumbledore and Grindelwald's relationship was as Rowling described in her Tweets etc. Then she is refusing to give the audience the real story by writing such a tame version of it in FB CoG +Three week is a long time to be on that diet, so respect to him. +Marco Scolaris needs to be fired right now.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Yes, humans have biological, scientific urges for good food, sex, companionship etc. - and those things then trigger biological, scientific reactions along the lines pleasure, satisfaction - from combinations of which we try to rationalize and derive concepts like "joy". [linebreak] [linebreak] So say, enjoying good food, is an entirely rational contributor to "joy". [linebreak] [linebreak] So you've just fooled yourself into thinking that "science" or the like requires an absence of emotion or feeling or the like, when of course emotion, feeling, other human reactions etc. are entirely natural. +I was thinking maybe a Spaghetti alle Surströmming. +/r/AmItheAsshole , /r/relationships +I'm just so tired of not being an important part of the lives of the people that are important to me. I know, many of you could say I'm important to my family but come on, it's only because we are blood-related. I mean my friends. I have never been someone's best friend, never. Not that I'm aware of. It feels as if I'm only a temporary friend, not one that lasts. This really gets me down lately. And to make things worse, I found out my best friend doesn't even care about me. I don't know why but since the start of the year, he has been different with me. He recently formed a new group of friends and slowly he has started to grow apart from me. I now know he doesn't care about me, but his still MY best friend. We used to talk everyday, now if he doesn't see me during school hours, he doesn't even send me a message. If I don't look up for him or talk to him, he just ignores me. I have come to think he grew tired of being my friend, as everyone I know. This always happens to me. Nevertheless, I still want his friendship and his approval, even when he has done me so many bad things. Some days it looks as if I'm really his best friend, but other days, he completely ignores my existence. It's just too much. I feel too much, and I always overthink too much. I try to talk to him but he just shoves me off. I'm just so tired of constantly feeling like a piece of garbage. Nobody really cares about me. +> I've seen comments where the girl being talked to was straight up called "a huge bitch" for not playing along on yet another terrible joke/pickup line.

[linebreak] [linebreak] People were calling brands that the Duggars sponsor on social media and asking them to drop the sponsorship because of the Duggars hatred and antagonism of women and LGBT folks. [linebreak] [linebreak] A bunch of people on Duggarsnark decided that was too mean and LGBT folks should just get over it and not interfere with their income stream.

I said I suspected him of vote manipulating and that I'd be contacting the admins about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] 2 days later, I get a ban message from r/mildlyinteresting accusing me of having abused the report button(I never made a report, I use Reddit mobile and the iOS app doesn't allow custom reports.) now if you recall, I made a post 2 months or so ago about a user filing false reports on my behalf there as well. I was threatened with being reported to the admins there as well, yet, here I still am. Because, guess what? I didn't make the report. The language and the way the reports are written isn't even how I talk or type and again, why would I report vote manipulation to mods who can't do anything about it? [linebreak] [linebreak] After denying the allegations and defending myself, I was told the ban was extended, no sweat off my back as the sub is notoriously bad these days and full of Facebook level content. I just felt this was an appropriate forum to vent these frustrations. Note that he also told me that unless I could prove my innocence, I was banned for good.

People who I thought were my best and closest friends. All but one thought I was lucky to have pussy at eight. They expressed how jealous they were, only one was there for me and agreed with me that it's terrible. He's the only person from that group I'm friends with. They made jokes about how I must be gay if I didn't want it. I see this happening all the time. Girls are molested/raped? "It's terrible, so terrible." Guys? "Dude, up top! fuck yeah!"

Can you point to 100 bad cops in chicago? It will always be a problem we have to keep an eye out for, unless you neuter the police force to the point that they are ineffective. Chicago does appear to have more corruption than other cities, but it's also quite possible they're just really shitty at cover ups. Reporting on police misbehavior drives clicks, reporting on police *good* behavior does not, so whatever you see on the news is always going to give a much more bleak view of the police than actual statistics will, even if there is variance between cities in terms of the percentage of police interactions that go poorly, which there *always* will be. This is one area where 'equality of outcome' will never happen, no matter how hard you try. +How? [linebreak] [linebreak] So far today we've got drama about a bunch of white af mods at BPT insisting people verify their race, a gaming community's mods being paid off by a gaming company and cross-spectrum idiocy from every mod who thinks they have a political barrow to push.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I ended up crashing into the pedestrian barrier as my least fatal option as opposed to veering directly into traffic, ramming straight into the side of the van, or breaking so hard I'd likely end up lying in the middle of a busy road.

So, cavities got bad, he lost teeth, etc. Plus I needed braces and never got them and do have some issues with my spacing. I'm actually about to finally get braces in a few months at 34 lol but yay!

Therefore by your logic, I have found one reason to exist, ergo the only possible conclusion is that you should have children. [linebreak] [linebreak] by whose logic? i've never heard an antinatalist argue that there are literally no positives to being alive. their arguments usually fall into these categories: [linebreak] [linebreak] - the challenges or bad parts of life do outweigh the good [linebreak] [linebreak] - even if they don't, it's difficult to prove it convincingly enough to justify action (creating a life and rolling the dice) vs inaction (not creating a life, neutral result) [linebreak] [linebreak] - even if you prove the utilitarian case convincingly enough, you've argued yourself into a moral imperative to have literally as many children as possible [linebreak] [linebreak] if you're like the overwhelming majority of people, being alive is obviously better than not being alive, and it's absurd to question it. but it's not the case for everyone. imagine if your experience of life (the only experience you truly have access to) were overwhelmingly negative, and you genuinely would have preferred to have never been born. can you see how the decision to create another life would seem morally ambiguous from that perspective? +Thats pretty normal its just so that you cant evade bans.

Shakespeare, though a wonderful literary artist, was more than a bit of a fatalist or nihilist himself. (Yet he still managed not to consistently advocate genocide.) [linebreak] [linebreak] I think you're making your points just to hear yourself talk. They're not particularly sensical. You don't care much for criticism or understanding or addressing contrary points, it's just a one-man show. A party for yourself. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you take comfort in that, that's fine. But advocating suicide or genocide for others is not fine. If that's all you have to add and if you're not willing to accept or understand views of others, then you should just keep it to yourself.

And everyone called me sensitive, a crybaby, the little piggy who cried all the way home. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] But I'm here to tell you that you're not alone. There are thousands of surveys and information online, and I think you need to start educating others because you're not sensitive, you're hurt and you need help, like I needed help. It can be different for you but you need people who support you. It hurts to think people are so cruel, but I was at the brunt end of it for a while, so I want you to know I'm here for you. [linebreak] [linebreak] Message me at any time, ask me questions, vent or rant to me. Because, no, I may not have gone through the exact same thing, but I went through something close. [linebreak] [linebreak] I hope you consider talking to me. It's always better to start off ranting online when you can hide behind a screen and let your emotions take over. I want your emotions to be valid, because everyone deserves to feel validated. +Not necessary ki sabko metal pasand aana chahiye.

I live in a severely overcrowded college town, people are generally awful, parking is non existent, and it costs me $10 a day in parking to even go to work. Driving takes all of my mental energy. It's getting to the point where leaving my house and driving takes 2 days of recovery, afterward. I'm not a people person, have a GED, have physical limitations, hate talking on the phone, and driving a long commute is impossible in my current headspace. It's really limiting what I can do career-wise. My mother passed away last year and left some money behind, so my plan is to buy a house where I can start a greenhouse. Its already become incredibly clear to me that I cant go back to "salmoning" in a city I hate, at a job I'm just completely over. I have to make my own way from now on. It has inspired me to start being creative and motivated again. I'm just biding my time and trying to figure out as much as I can while I get myself ready for the next chapter. I guess my only advice is to find something you are passionate about that can be lucrative for you. For me, its growing rare plants. Try doing some freelance or flex jobs if you have useful skills.

One thing I'll say is try to work on letting go a little, you know, keep from obsessing over things you can't change. All you can do is learn from what you've been through and figure out what you're going to do about your current situation. No human is ever going to be perfect because that's not what it means to be human, we all fuck up, it's ok. You're not entitled for being bothered by these things. Your ex didn't take away your chances of being happy and functioning regularly. You can't put your happiness and well-being in the hands of others because there's no guarantee that any realationship will last forever. And even if you didn't end up with the last girl you were talking to, there's going to be another one eventually. But in my opinion you should try to focus more on bettering yourself before you jump straight back into a realationship. That's what I'm doing right now. I know you can't afford rent but maybe get a therapist if you can it can be very helpful if you find a good one. Lastly if you really enjoy music you should pursue it for your own sake. Sure nothing is going to come out immediately but but give it time, eventually you'll figure out a way to write out what's on your mind. It takes time and effort to get any art form "right" so you should focus on having fun with it while trying to get better. You can't give up just because it doesn't come to you instantly. You sit down everyday and work on it, something WILL come of that and you will make great music. +r/brandnewsentence? +>abuse apologism [linebreak] [linebreak] Huh?

The Sandman comics are good, too. I also recommend Ichi the Killer if you are feeling adventurous. It is definitely NSFW/L depending on your views.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Based on my own personal experience and other posts I've seen, I would argue there is a real problem with people attacking the OP for venting views they do not like. I get this isn't a safe space for any specific groups and I'm not saying people can't disagree with what someone is venting about. I've gotten into it quite a bit with some people's venting here, like them hating an entire group of people because of the actions of a few. However, far too often do I notice people resort to personal attacks, aka ad hominem fallacy. Not to mention this violates rule 4 of this sub. I suspect the reason this rule is in place is to stop this sort of thing. Attack the argument, not the person. [linebreak] [linebreak] Basically, instead of people addressing why they disagree with what someone is venting about, they often try to discredit the person by making claims like "you're not really X" or "you're fake and a troll". That's not to say trolling doesn't happen here, but often, disagreeing with someone's venting is treated as if that person is just trying to get a rise out of people. It's like people refuse to believe someone could have unpopular opinions and stand by them, no, they *must* be trolling. It's very closed minded too, because the person making the troll claim refuses to think outside of their world view. For example, if you're a racial minority, some people have a hard time believing you if you don't fall into stereotypical views for your race. Is it so hard to believe someone can have opinions you don't like and that they believe in them? If they really are trolling, you replying to them just fuels their fire. It's so unproductive to vent if all people are going to do is accuse you of being this or not being that, effectively going against the purpose of this sub. [linebreak] [linebreak] Given that the purpose of this sub is to allow opinions and venting that OffMyChest wouldn't allow, I would expect better of people here. I dare say if you want a sub like this where people get auto banned from posting in specific subs that OffMyChest mods don't like, that sub is much more of a fit for you than hanging around here trying to dogpile people who go against your world views. [linebreak] [linebreak] So, disagree with me on this if you must, but I think it would be better to debunk my arguments rather than claim I'm a fake and thus, that alone is somehow supposed to invalidate everything I've written. +I'll take the centrists position and say both men belong in a reeducation camp but only one of them is put on blast on Reddit 24/7 +I second that sentiment.

[linebreak] [linebreak] No, I don't hate sex itself, but I can't go anywhere without hearing about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's been so driven into us by our basic biology and our modern society that 'sex is the means to happiness', that I feel we've moved back on ourselves. [linebreak] [linebreak] We've turned sex into a commodity, with the 'haves' and 'have nots'. It breeds jealousy and hatred, hence the incel community. [linebreak] [linebreak] The attitude about not having it is hypocritical too. People will go out and say: "There's nothing wrong with being a virgin!" and then turn around and go "Wow this guy isn't getting laid lol." [linebreak] [linebreak] Shit like this is why people feel pressured to go out and fuck just because they feel like they have to in order to be 'living'. [linebreak] [linebreak] You would think, that as a whole, with as advanced as a society we've become, we would put our more primal desires behind us and put our efforts into other things, but no. We focus on sex sex sex. [linebreak] [linebreak] In school, sport, Reddit, TV, movies, sex is almost always a topic, maybe thinly veiled as 'romance', maybe not.

If risk of birth defects in children makes incest wrong, does that mean it's wrong for people with dwarfism to have sex? [linebreak] [linebreak] Same thing goes for power dynamics and grooming.

[linebreak] [linebreak] That's actually a perfect way to go about it! I'm willing to bet you are improving more than you think. Searching out what smarter people think and coming up with your own theories is how I was taught. If there's a better way I don't know it. [linebreak] [linebreak] For music The Grateful Dead are my best example. They even have a book dedicated to the symbology they use that I think is posted online. They make *heavy* use of symbolism and are just great to listen to. [linebreak] [linebreak] The Catcher in the Rye is a fun book. It uses symbolism and it has story elements you may not pick up on until you experience them yourself. Also it's short. [linebreak] [linebreak] Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, The Metamorphosis, Heart of Darkness, Othello are all some examples of books I've personally enjoyed and know there are a lot of resources into their symbolism. I tried to think of varied examples that don't carry on too long. [linebreak] [linebreak] Edit- Forgot to add. A lot of the time I don't know what symbols mean right away, either. I just happen to notice "oh hey that's the third time we've seen a white bird" and *then* do some reading or research to see if it means something in the context of the story or what. And even then I might come to a different conclusion about what they mean *exactly*. +Although black people make up less than 13% if the American population they commit more than 50% of the crimes +Wtf bro they use heroin from Afghanistan that's why it's so cheap +Name a time where a woman deceived someone.

I had been depressed lately ever since I started my winter quarter of college as a first year. I am now currently a sophomore year going into junior year. [linebreak] [linebreak] I grew up with engineering drilled into my brain. My dad is an engineer, and as a little kid I always solve problems, create new objects with lego pieces, and always wondered how cars work. I excelled in many math and science tests until starting middle school when I moved into a bit more average. [linebreak] [linebreak] I then entered a top tier engineering school under an engineering program. I quickly realized how much I hated chemistry and barely scrapped by with a D in both Calculus 3 (Taylor series, sequences, etc...) and chemistry II, got into academic probation. I then switched into another form of engineering, bumped my GPA up with easy classes just to get out of academic probation, then got into academic probation again after failing Statics with a F. I honestly feel very annoyed. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm now sitting in my house during spring break thinking Engineering isn't right for me. I literally have no drive to do well in classes anymore. I hate going back to school, rather irritated each time I have to go back. I hate the constant going to class, sitting in there listening to pointless bullshit, then getting out. I hate the constant homework that is being thrown at me. The thing I hate most? Tests. Why do we have to memorize all of pointless math and others? I don't know which other major I can be interested at. [linebreak] [linebreak] Most people I'm around with are rather shitty, or I just don't fit in with them. I am losing multiple friends back in home, and I'm not making any true friends in college. I'm always open to hanging out, but it's always like this: "I'm busy, sorry." Or some version of that. Or they just don't respond at all. I always have nothing to do rather than playing video games instead of seeing all other people going to college parties with their super close group of friends. I also got made fun of for driving a manual transmission vehicle that I bought, because it was cheap and reliable, but at least I have a freaking car to use, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] Why do I have to be that kid who peaked in high school? Back then when I had a girlfriend, was a sports team captain, always have fun stuff to do. Now I'm just sitting here with a low GPA and have not exercised in so long because of engineering work. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm fucking irritated. I've been noticing I got angry a lot easier, especially after getting back test scores when all I want to do is to yell "FUCK ENGINEERING" in my brain. Why can't I just get my shit together? I hate being one of the least smartest students in class, but I loathe almost every single math and science courses I take. I loathe calculus and linear analysis. I loathe all physics, chemistry, and biology. Why did I let GPA dictate my happiness? And otherwise, why the hell do most jobs have this 3.0 GPA minimum required? It's a very stupid requirement to have, just seeing all those people who cheated their way being eligible for that job.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Immigration has literally nothing at all to do with current wage levels. Capitalism is amply capable of extracting virtually all surplus value from the workers at all levels of supply. But capital doesn't even really give a shit about immigration, look at how quickly the billionaires lined up behind Trump. What is important to them is their ability to shift capital to tax havens, not increasing the net labor in the United States. They are just glad you are distracted. [linebreak] [linebreak] But capital isn't interested in building factories in poor countries. It is only interested in stripping them of their resources to prop up the imperial core. Net flows of capital from the global south to the global north are over six trillion a year. Yes that includes the foreign aid, the small pittance that you begrudgingly hand out and expect oh so much gratitude for. It doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of all that the neocolonial empire takes from the third world to prop up its empire.

Such variations may involve genital ambiguity, and combinations of chromosomal genotype and sexual phenotype other than XY-male and XX-female.Intersex people were previously referred to as hermaphrodites or "congenital eunuchs". In 19th and 20th century medical literature, intersex was referred as true hermaphroditism, female pseudohermaphroditism, and male pseudohermaphroditism reflecting the first taxonomic efforts to classify intersex conditions. These terms are no longer used: terms including the word "hermaphrodite" are considered to be misleading, stigmatizing, and scientifically specious.

They are in danger all over the world. In Africa, 100 elephants are killed every day for their ivory. That number is increasing yearly. 2015 was the first year when the number of elephants being killed was more than those being born. If this disparity continues, African elephants could face extinction within our lifetime. In Asia, though poaching for ivory is a serious problem as well, elephants are also being killed for their skin. Whereas in Africa only elephants with ivory are killed, every Asian elephant is a target for their skin which means that they could face extinction sooner than African elephants. Additionally, in Asia, many elephants are facing an unnatural and cruel life by also being kept in captivity for a variety of purposes: logging, tourism, cultural and religious activities, and transportation. +Then why are the right against any form of state healthcare?

They're both pretty unverifiable. They are how they are because they are. [linebreak] [linebreak] For example, an evolutionary psychological explanation for getting (sometimes) different outcomes between sexes in spatial/language tests runs along the lines of maybe that's because historically, men needed better spatial skills because they roamed further to hunt while women needed better language skills to mediate conflicts that, as the generally smaller sex, could be fatal for them if they escalate. It's a nice simple theory that makes superficial sense but it can never move past theory because there's simply no way to gather evidence to support it. It's also somewhat reductionist, which is always a warning sign with psychology that something is hinky.

Back in the day it was the fantasy childhood sweet hearts. We were two peas in a pod and loved being around eachother. Well fast forward a few years we started being intimate. Our family eventually found out and she left me and I left home. Now 10 years later she reached out to me out of the blue and we started talking. Side note, 2018 as a whole was the worst year of my life. When I say the whole year, every month, every day was emotionally and physically taxing to a degree where my hair is literally thining and falling out I mean it(my hair used to be thick and healthy). [linebreak] [linebreak] So we start talking and it feels as though no time has passed at all. Its great! I cant believe she is talking to me again. But in my gut I know its just a rebound text(my mom told me she recent broke up with a 2yr relationship). Well she isnt doing to well either and she tries to kill herself so I call out of work for a whole week and I am across the whole country the next day to see her in the hospital. She is finally released and we have an amazing week together! Doing everything, always laughing and just enjoying eachothers company. But theres an issue, she constantly lied to me, about stupid stuff. She is a terrible liar but I never called her out. Even her mom told me she was sleeping with multiple people and when I asked she lied about her previous relationship even though she brought that up. There were so many red flags that I ignored, so many times she made herself to he victim to everything and I knew was trying to get me to feel sorry for her, and I ignored them all because I wanted to support her. On the last night we are snuggled up in her bed as we did everynight and she keeps pulling me on top of her to just "get closer" as she says (yeah okay). We start kissing and I ask over and over if its what she wants (i dont want to have sex but i wanted her to be happy and she seemed to really want to) and you can guess what happened. Well I drive home that night and cry all the way home because I know I was just used. [linebreak] [linebreak] Over the next couple weeks she slowly talks to me less and less and barely wants to see me after I move back home after almost 10 years away. I finally call her and confront her and she tells me nothing has changed and hasnt talked to me since. [linebreak] [linebreak] I am so disgusted with myself for being so easy and ignoring all the signs that she was manipualting me. I cant even look at her because she isnt even the same person she used to be and it hurts so much. Not a single apology or an attempt to say anything from her. I dont know why she used me and I am so broken up about it. I told her all the shit that went down even about me losing my daughter that year (2018) and she still did this. Idk what to do. I want peace but she wont talk to me anymore. [linebreak] [linebreak] P.S. There were so many more flags and signs i ignored from family and friends but this post is long enough. [linebreak] [linebreak] TL;DR: My best friend/sweet heart from child hood called me up after 10 years. She was struggling so I went to help her out. My time with her was great but there were alot of red flags I ignored. I didnt want to sleep with her but she kept pushing so I did then she started to distance herself from me. I feel so used and disgusted with myself and I dont know why she did it. +You wanted a thing? Well hell, why didn't you say so?

Doesn't that directly contradict their argument?? [linebreak] [linebreak] It's very close to a contradiction. They could make the claim that, if they were somehow prevented from using piracy, they *still wouldn't buy the game*, therefore it doesn't preclude a potential sale. [linebreak] [linebreak] The real gem is this: I think there might actually be data suggesting that more piracy leads to more sales. So, by participating in piracy, they would be contributing to the game's popularity which would imply more sales. +> . The left has an obsession with manufacturing outrage.

[linebreak] [linebreak] For example, his narrative arc closes with an appearance to a Taoist hermit as a ghost vengefully demanding the return of his head. The hermit, knowing of Lord Guan's great reputation and famous deeds, asks what about the men whose heads Guan had taken himself (he recites an abridged list), who will return them? Spurned, the ghost vanishes and Lord Guan exits the narrative. +If only there was group so enlightened they do not fall into the dogma of the left or the right. Oh well. +He was a preacher.

The idea was basically making fun of Star Wars fans going completely off the rails when it comes to the sequel trilogy, complaining about "ruined childhoods" and the like. [linebreak] [linebreak] If I understand right, the creators' own views are that TFA is decent despite being a rehash of the original film, TLJ tries too hard to "subvert expectations" and doesn't gain anything from it, and as a whole, people care far too much for what should just be a series of movies. +Half of Chicago would of burned down of this didn't happen on the coldest days on record.

They're all, "Punch nazis, kill nazis, don't give nazis a platform", when they don't realize that forcefully silencing people makes others *sympathetic* to their cause, because it makes them look oppressed. [linebreak] [linebreak] If people on the right shut down progressive events, assaulted progressives, killed them, got them doxxed, got them swatted, et cetera, people would be *incredibly* sympathetic to them because it would seem as though they did nothing wrong and are being unfairly silenced.

He is basically undefeated at debate, certainly when talking to libs. +I'm guessing this happens because, while many gay people do agree with fluidity of sexuality, we are also often told we just need to 'find the right person' etc and it causes them to get defensive.

Your friend/romantic partner/family member dragged from whatever the fuck you're doing. Now you're more pissed than a Polygon reader. [linebreak] [linebreak] So at the party, which is, let's say 25% LGBTQIA (bare with me here) but are otherwise friendly like on TV. Then a idea popped on your head. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's about the 80s song "It's Raining Men." [linebreak] [linebreak] You asked the people about the song. The usual suspects would tell you it's a iconic anthem in the queer community. If you play it in public, someone's coming out the next day. [linebreak] [linebreak] You tell them you hate it. You remember hating that song since childhood. [linebreak] [linebreak] So you had the bright idea to change what they think about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] You tell them, "The song is about semen coming out" to much to their shock and horror. You tell them to look closer to the lyrics. Reinterpret the lyrics to fit story you want them to see. You tell them that the song came at height of the AIDS epidemic and that in some nebulous way, is detrimental to the gay community. I tell them the song is everything negative that happened to them. [linebreak] [linebreak] Cue the angry stares and every urban dictionary insult thrown your way. [linebreak] [linebreak] That doesn't matter. What does comes after. Over time, a small minority of them will somehow agree with me. Soon they tell people about it those close to them and them to others. [linebreak] [linebreak] Soon, it would spread to the internet. I don't need to tell what happens next. Celebrities denounce, radio station remove. The whole rigmarole. [linebreak] [linebreak] This isn't new. You probably know this. Hell, the whole subreddit knows (amongst others) for all I know. Hitler knew, Stalin knew, Ceaser knew. [linebreak] [linebreak] That's how online journalism works. [linebreak] [linebreak] How's that for a TED talk? +Ah, I remember the time someone on Tumblr told me off for whitewashing a canonically white man who is KNOWN in the series to have an orange af trump tan. [linebreak] [linebreak] Definitely my greatest moment on that hell site. +Seriously, pelosi trying to shame him for his "violent rhetoric" is just insane, he's using her words, if her own words would cause potential violence then isn't that.. on her stupid ass? +And I can't believe that what set me off today was not being able to find part of a fucking IKEA cabinet. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm not happy, I can't remember the last time I was, and I'm not sure I even know what I need to be happy with my life. I don't know what to do. I've been on antidepressants, and I still feel this way. Sometimes I have good days or good weeks, but I usually end up completely melting down and losing it again over something. I don't know how to make it better or if I even can. [linebreak] [linebreak] I can't afford to move out. I can't afford to rent where I live, I certainly can't afford to buy a house or a flat, and I don't see a way out. Every time I'm reminded of the lifestyle my parents had at the same age as me, it upsets me because I know I'll never have that, it's going to pass me by. I don't even know why I want to emulate them in that way because they're divorced now. I'm scared that down the line I'm going to feel like I've missed a whole chapter of my own life. [linebreak] [linebreak] My girlfriend broke up with me a year ago. She did the worst thing that anyone has ever done to me, I don't forgive her and I never will. I find it hard to meet people and I thought she was going to be it for me. I still miss her and I think I'm probably going to carry this for the rest of my life. She didn't just take away the relationship, she took away all the hopes and dreams I had for being a proper functioning adult and being happy. What's really bothering me about it right now is that I ruined things - before they even started - with another girl who liked me and who I liked too, to be with her. This absolutely is my fault and even if it probably wouldn't have worked out with her I spend far too much time thinking about if I blew my chance at being happy with someone. [linebreak] [linebreak] I hate my job. If you told me tomorrow that it was gone and I could never go back, I wouldn't care. Wouldn't give one single solitary fuck. I hate the building, I hate the place it's in, I hate the noise, I hate the customers, I hate all of it. I could just find a new job and leave, but I feel so completely ground down and I don't think I would find anything better so I can't motivate myself to. I could go back to university and learn to do something else but not without getting myself into a lot of debt I'll never be able to pay off. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've never wanted to have a real job, because I can't handle the real world. As a kid I dreamed of being an athlete, although it became clear pretty early on that I was never going to be. I love sports but I'm just not good enough to even play at a recreational level, and that kills me and I don't enjoy them as much as I would like because of that. Then I started to pursue music, and I was OK at that, but I just can't do it. I can't meet other people who share the same musical aspirations as me, I can't write a song because nothing comes out when I try to, I just can't get it right. [linebreak] [linebreak] I can't stop obsessing over things that I can't change. I can't stop obsessing over perfection and trying to obtain it. I can't stop obsessing over how all kinds of small details in my life are wrong. I can't feel part of anything. I can't even build a set of fucking shelves. I can't have all the time back that I've wasted. I can't cope. [linebreak] [linebreak] And I feel like an entitled little prick for being bothered by these things as much as I am. +Poor Flareon was done dirty by the mechanics of the first few generations. When a Pokémon uses a move of its type it gets a lot stronger, so any fire move Flareon used would be more powerful. Flareon also has a lot of physical attack, so it wants to use fire moves that hit physically. [linebreak] [linebreak] The only issue is that before gen 4, moves were classified as "physical" or "special" not inherently, but by their type. So every single fire move (including Fire *Punch*) was a special move, which Flareon could not use effectively. Throw on top of this a super shallow move pool of lackluster coverage and you could see why Jolteon or Vaporeon saw a lot more usage. [linebreak] [linebreak] They eventually additionally gave Flareon stronger moves on top of the physical and special split +What period? This would not be the first time someone has gotten a name or date wrong. I mean, three arrows went to guess it was the first crusade which isn't a stretch and is a rather common practice when someone asks a history question: to try and figure out what period they are *actually* talking about. However, unlike the first crusade, which was a bit of a mess and didn't really go anywhere, the Reconquista fits the rough time period, the map he pulled up, and was about a Muslim invasion and the rather slow process of Spain trying to have them uninvade. +Shoulda played it cool and started rubbing it in like lotion while dropping facts about how fermented piss prevents skin cancer. +That dude is definitely not military either +I pretty much help my friends/neighbors by taking them to and from Dr. appointments, keeping track of their information, picking up their kids from school as well at times, watching them helping cook now and then just to help them manage... they fucking adore me and are thankful, they even put me as a secondary beneficiary on their life insurance (I fucking hope I never have to collect it) [linebreak] [linebreak] then when I talk to my sisters or brother... they treat me like I'm a fucking mental patient or retard that can't handle anything on my own. When I was younger I was a complete little shithead who let my entitled mother do everything for me and spoil me but I grew as a person, and I've shown it or so I thought yet my own family refuses to knowledge it, it shouldn't bother me, but I still want that common respect of an equal yet to be denied that just infuriates me to no end.

Then shes laughing as if everything is great. [linebreak] After I'm there trying to comfort her to no avail, then her getting instantly better, I start to feel like I'm not needed. Then she doesn't asks about how my day went. She sometimes will, but I can't even finish telling her things and its only when shes in a good mood (which is maybe 1 or 2 days a week). [linebreak] So I bring it up, I get nothing but angry pushback. This time because I waited for us to be cuddled up in bed where I could be holding her while I told her how I was feeling. I just don't know what to do and feel like it's my fault because even if I had brought it up earlier it would have still been my fault for feeling this way... am I really the problem?

[linebreak] [linebreak] And when people, white, non-white, male, female, non-binary say "that's it's a bad idea" to those racists and sexists, they just double down.

It's used in 1) Porn 2) Anime/Manga 3) Towards real people. In the third way it's super offensive, because like you said it's implying trans women aren't real women. In the first two however, it's not always referring to trans women. While I'm sure that there are trans women in "trap" porn, often times they are male identifying who aim for a feminine look. In that case the setting of the porn itself is that they are men trying to "trick" men, so it's an accurate description. Finally, when it comes to anime/manga the characters are also male identifying, outside of the (extremely rare) series where characters are transexual, and in those those issues are often addressed. +Cool, like I even care lmao +hurr capitalism has killed more people than socialism/communism +This is the golden age of drama +To be fair, they were slavs. +TBH, WB is not an easy turf, same as TN, AP and KL.

[linebreak] [linebreak] This got quite a lot of the Internet to, shall we say, look at them with askance. Of course, Teen Vogue's woke defenders derided people by calling them *prudes*, avoiding addressing the fact that humans by and large are a sexually dimorphic species. [linebreak] [linebreak] Last year around August, [one Teen Vogue writer advocated making up gender-neutral words for family members to "avoid erasing women and non-binary people"](http://archive.is/8DgTA) because apparently words like "mother," "sister," "wife," "aunt" and so on erase women.

[linebreak] [linebreak] The cheese and egg thing, they're just really low in carbs according to google.

Your efforts have about a 50/50 chance of being appreciated or even noticed. Sometimes, though, if you're unlucky enough to contribute after there's already been a huge load of responses, the OP might feel overwhelmed and unable to get to your post. So that's nothing to do with the quality of your content, and definitely nothing personal. I asked a question once that got a bunch of responses. I replied to as many as I could, being as gracious as possible, but finally just had to give up on it. I'd thought about posting a "thank you for such a thoughtful reply!" or something to each of the rest of them, but that almost seemed like it would be worse. Like some kind of soulless form letter bot response.

[linebreak] the problematic part is not the inclusion of a revived, politically significant, openly racist and fascist (sorry to anyone who don't know this, but the rise of so-called "populism" you see on the right is a rise of fascism, read a book) confederacy in WW2, but rather the prospect of individual players identifying with the confederacy and what such play indicates and consists in. is it okay to role play as lynching thugs? [linebreak] it's a deep question, honestly. contextualized properly, one can do interesting things with it. other art forms employ genuine antiheroes (like tony soprano, who is, simply, a psychopath) and do good things (criticize capitalism, and the emotional/intellectual dissociation involved with immoral behavior both localized and structural/systemic). what does "I'M the character" do to change it? in a book, we're often in the person's mind. their thoughts replace ours in a focused narrative. is that alright? will i become a psychopath if i read such media? [linebreak] i don't know. i think it merits discussion, but the statement the guy made sounds fine to me. are they cashing in on the rise of the alt-right and open white supremacy in america? i don't know. do we want to allow role playing games and alternate reality media? that one, i'm pretty comfortable with yes. we need to do deeper, broader, better things to eliminate white supremacists than make sure they can't role play as the confederacy joining WW2.

They had been in the country long enough to have BEAUTIFUL daughters who babysat me. Me being a fair-completed, blonde-haired kid, they thought I was adorable. When my parents were going to go out, mom would make sure I had a bath and some special "treat" like Chef Boy Ar Dee Or something like that. My favorite sitter was Eva, with her flawless olive complexion and lovely brown eyes. I knew she was pretty before I knew what pretty was!

Pregnancy is an extremely emotional and sensitive topic for some women who have had miscarriages or are infertile and I think it's totally reasonable for them to be upset at something like this. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's good to have a thick skin, but it's not good to discount the emotions of others, or to think you speak for them just because you happen to share a circumstance. Besides, the "April fool's pregnancy" joke isn't funny, clever, or original. Frankly, it isn't good enough of a joke to warrant its potential upsetting effect on other people.

It's not about killing gays, or hating *anyone,* it's about being hungry.

It's *horse feed.* They ate it when the South's economy was shit and everyone was starving. But then they decided "Y'know what? I *LIKE* horse feed!") and iced tea.

I don't know about you motherfuckers, but I consider that shit to be a sport, okay? If people can sit back and label goddamn golf, which is the boringest fucking sport in the world, a goddamn sport, if you can label that shit as a sport, and if you can label goddamn fishing as a sport, I know damn well you can label jacking off a sport. Think about it, what the fuck athletically are you really doing in golf, my guy? All you doing is hitting a goddamn golf club, "Oh my God man, that's a long ass birdie man, nice birdie, nice putt, man it went 250 yards." Get the fuck outta here, nobody care about that boring ass shit. Who the fuck really watches golf, my dude? Nobody gives a fuck, it makes everybody fall asleep. Fishing on the other hand, what the fuck are you really doing athletically, my guy, in fishing? All you're doing is that you're sitting your bitch ass up in a boat, usually it's old ass snagger-teeth motherfuckers that ain't got no goddamn teeth up in they fucking grill, or up in they mouth. They're just sitting up the goddamn boat, you know what I'm saying. Throwing a goddamn rod. It can be any kind of goddamn bait up on the end of the rod. It can be a worm, it can be a caterpillar, it can be a centipede, it can be a dead ass butterfly, it can be a fucking beak of a damn bird, it can be a fucking, it can be anything, you know what I'm saying?

What, you're working out your arms, because you have to reel that motherfucker in? Man, that's not a sport, dawg. Well, fuck it. You know what, it is a sport. Fuck it. You guys want to consider that shit to be a sport? Jacking off is a fucking sport to me. Jacking off and beating your motherfucking dick to porn is a sport. There's two damn things that you have to do. A. You build up a sweat. Well actually, you don't have to do shit. There's basically two things that goes down, that's what I meant to say. A. You're building up a sweat. I don't give a fuck man, if you are building up a sweat, goddamn it, that's shit is considered a sport. You're building up a sweat. Number 2, and the most important part of that shit, is that your hand is getting a workout. Your hand is getting a workout, man, you are building up your arm strength, and you are building up your hand strength, okay. I don't know about you, dude, but when I'm beating my shit, man, my fucking hand muscles get fucking tight, you know what I'm saying? And that shit wears the fuck out of my entire left arm. I used to be able to do it with my right hand, can't do that shit, so I do it with my left hand. So, in my personal opinion, do you guys consider jacking off a sport? Man, in my opinion, I believe it is. So I know with some of you trolling ass fuckin bitches are gonna say "Oh, man, you must not get no pussy, motherfucker, if you jack off." Motherfucker, let's be real, okay? Everybody has jacked off once in they goddamn life. If you gonna sit back, and you gonna come on my video, and troll my shit, say "Oh, Jimmy, I never jacked off once in my life." Bitch, stop lying. Everybody does this shit, okay? So please miss me with that bullshit, dude, and go preach that shit to somebody who fucking is actually gonna listen to you, okay? Number 2, "Oh my God, this comment was stupid. It was pointless." Couldn't've been that stupid, bitch, you still read it! You know what I'm saying? All the motherfuckers that's reading this, man, you saw the first sentence of the fucking comment before you read this shit.

I had been to this one once before and as soon as I walked in the ward I felt safe again. It was home. [linebreak] [linebreak] One of the counselors there and I got very close. I'm ashamed to say he was everything I looked for in a person, not even in a sex/love way.As a kid I dreamed about a knight in shining armor, and he was exactly that. [linebreak] [linebreak] He would talk to me personally every night, staying after his shift ended. I remember one night opening up to him about the abuse after all patients had gone to bed. He stayed so late that night, and I told him "go home. You have a kid." He told me "I'm not leaving until I know you're safe. Those people are never allowed to visit. We'll report them together. I always knew there was more you weren't telling me, and now everything makes sense. It's okay. You're safe here, and I'm not letting anything else happen to you." He said he didn't do all this for anyone. [linebreak] [linebreak] Locked wards have very strict rules, and I broke them frequently. I slowly got all privileges taken away for multiple incidents. I would sleep in a chair next to the nurses station. I was only allowed to use crayons, since I abused pens. [linebreak] [linebreak] But this counselor bent the rules and I was allowed to have my guitar. He knew how to play and would hold down the strings for me so I could have a capo. I played for relaxation most nights, and other patients would stay up just to listen. [linebreak] [linebreak] Before I left, he told me "the only way I'm ever allowed to hear about you, or see you on the news is if you get famous for music." Meaning, he didn't want to hear that I had killed myself. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's been so long, but sometimes I pray to him. I hope he gets the message and knows somehow I'm still breathing. I want him to know I've kept my promise. [linebreak] [linebreak] I love him so much it hurts to hear his name, and I will never tell anyone because they think it's a crush. It's more than that.

You say, "no thanks", and negotiate with another provider, who gives you a bill of $500, and you choose to pursue that treatment. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm assuming that there would be multiple "healthcare providers", i.e., those who procure actual healthcare products and services, not insurance companies (who I assume would be eliminated by Medicare-for-all). Otherwise, the government would have to nationalize all of these providers if they wanted there to be no other choice. +He posted hog +Some of these people have to be joking. +But in this situation they're comparing spending $100 to make $200 versus spending $10 to make $100.

Got rejected from a 3D art school, and they pretty much took anyone so I felt like shit. At that point I had also been looking for employment for more than a year and i just kept getting rejected/no answer. [linebreak] [linebreak] I eventually decided to not pursue college as it seemed unnecessary to my career plans, and rather fully focus on personal projects and also work on other people's animated short films (Artella.com). This was a huge help, (but definitely took a while), it got me stuff to put on my reel that looked like feature animation basically. At this point I was constantly sending my work to people in the industry, and getting feedback, redoing, getting more feedback, etc etc. [linebreak] [linebreak] Getting the job felt like luck, which sucks to say, I really did just apply at the right time, when they really needed people (tends to be late spring/summer for most VFX houses). Someones going to have to take a risk on you, and they wont do that until you know, your confident that your reel is up to standards with modern day animation/VFX. [linebreak] [linebreak] You tend to see a lot of negative connotations around the industry, and people telling you to get out while you can. I was fully aware of that when I was feeling unmotivated after lots of rejections. But I wouldn't let it get to ya, try the industry for yourself before taking someone else's word for it.

His doctor stole him a new one (A DOCTOR HAD TO STEAL A MEDICALLY NECESSARY DEVICE IN ORDER TO TEND TO HIS PATIENT. I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT LONG AND HARD), but it didn't matter, because it was too late by then. And anyway, they wanted him out of the hospital when he went back in, because the money is made by cycling patients through, so they pushed him out as fast as they could, so fast that his own discharge came as a surprise to him, because no one had bothered to tell him.

Don't you sit there and fucking tell me that if you just *contribute* you won't have to worry. HE CONTRIBUTED. HE CONTRIBUTED YOU FUCKING FUCK. You're going to meet his fate, do you understand that? If you don't get on board with reforming things, then it doesn't fucking matter how powerful you think you are right now, you little shit. It doesn't matter how much fucking money you make. THE FUCKING DEATH PANELS ARE THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, DO YOU HEAR ME? YOUR CADILLAC PLAN WILL DENY YOU SOMETHING YOU NEED SOME DAY FOR SOME BULLSHIT REASON AND YOU WILL FUCKING DIE YOU SELFISH SHORT-SIGHTED JACKASS, YOU WILL FUCKING DIE. I wish I could be there, hovering over you, spitting in your face and telling you that you were part of that, that you could have lived if only you hadn't been a selfish fuck, telling you that you deserve it, that you're reaping what you've sown. I wish I wish I wish. [linebreak] [linebreak] My spouse is in the hospital. My spouse will die years before me. I don't know when, but I know how, I know it's coming, and you fucking failed at that too. You failed to give decent health care even to your soldiers, whom you vapidly praise. You stick "support the troops" stickers on your fucking bumpers and support politicians who babble on about defense but you don't give two shits about them. If you did, you'd want them to live once they got back here, but you don't. You don't. You turn the other fucking way, because it's all just posturing and social competition, and the idea that a veteran could suffer challenges your assumptions and your childish belief in a just world, and you tell yourself that those who can't make it don't deserve to make it, because if you didn't tell yourself that then you'd have to wrestle with the possibility that whether or not you're "okay" doesn't have as much to do with whether you're a good, hard-working person as you've always believed. And if that's so, then maybe, just maybe, you aren't actually a good person. Or, more charitably, maybe you'll never actually be a fucking millionaire, you stupid, useful cunt. You'll never be powerful. Maybe your masters are laughing at you behind your back. [linebreak] [linebreak] I hate these people who act "woke" but then are horrifyingly Americentric, who want everything to speak to the American experience. How the fuck can you sit there and say that you're progressive and against bigotry while demanding that people from other cultural backgrounds center American culture in their work, and castigating them if they don't? How the fuck can you say you're progressive if you're doing shit like, say, darkening up light-skinned Mexicans because you think Mexican = dark skin, while calling people who depict them with their actual skin tone as "racist?" Do you not realize what you are? Do you not realize what you're doing? YOU'RE THE FUCKING RACIST, YOU STUPID BITCH. AND YOU'RE TRYING TO AVOID ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR RACISM BY PINNING IT ON OTHER PEOPLE. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm sick of that in general, all that shit, everyone scapegoating, projecting, what the fuck have you. You know what? It's not that women are all evil sociopaths, or that men or all evil sociopaths, or that Jews run the world; it's not globalists or blacks or immigrants or fucking anyone, IT'S YOU. YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM IN YOUR OWN FUCKING LIFE. You have zero fucking perspective. The entire reason you're able to sit on twitter and whine about how afraid you are because someone \*gasp\* asked you for an interview is because nothing truly bad has ever fucking happened to you, ever. You're an entitled, privileged brat, as evidenced by the fact that you have the time and money to *sit around on twitter all day.* None of you are genuine. None of you are interested in doing the work to effect real change on the shit that matters. It's just a stupid fucking pissing contest, and you're ACTIVELY MAKING IT HARDER FOR THE REST OF US. YOU ARE CHILDREN. YOU REACHED MIDDLE SCHOOL AND STOPPED DEVELOPING. I want to drop all of you into the wilderness and force you to experience some actual fucking hardship so you can realize that your entire worldview is possible only because you're able to take advantage of modern convenience. [linebreak] [linebreak] But how can I, how could I, when I too am sitting here, taking advantage of modern convenience? Aren't I the very thing that I hate? How can any of us critique anything, when all of us are covered in sludge? [linebreak] [linebreak] I am losing my ability to be reasonable. I get in fights more often. I keep them away from the people I love, but compartmentalization can only go so far. I feel the pressure building in my head, behind my eyes. I look forward to downtime but do nothing with it. I sit impotent, cycling through a list of possible activities and dismissing them all. It's all empty, accompanied by guilt. I should be doing more. I am not creating value, I am complaining but not generating, I am just like them. I am just like all of the ones I despise, I am becoming them, I will become them, I will die like them and with them. The bluster and anger are fruitless and only an echo of the human condition. We are not fundamentally good. We are fundamentally weak, stupid, and wretched. We are subject to cognitive distortions that we can't ever fully get a handle on, even when we're aware of them. We are subject to passions that drive us to poor decisions and hasty actions, many of them profoundly antisocial. We are angry. We are violent. We are incurably tribal. We are going to destroy ourselves, and possibly take the planet along with us. [linebreak] [linebreak] There is no hope. There is no one coming to the rescue.

I'll never be able to explain how broken you are, and that it wasn't them, and isn't me that made you do what it is you are doing to them. We're all broken in this world. We are all screwed up. The only thing that distinguishes us from one another is that some of us are brave enough to try and face who we are, in order to change for the better. I'll never be able to make them not hurt when they think about you. You won't ever be able to undo what pain you caused them, and me, out of your own fear and desperation to heal yourself. You can find a new wife, and take new kids under your wing. You can get that education degree, and lead the youth of the world. You can be everyone else's hero in the whole world. You can blame me for all of it, you can justify every action, but you won't *ever* escape the demons that haunt you. The ones in your heart that get louder any time you allow the anger to fade. The ones that will always remind you that there are 2 children who you failed. The 2 that were your favorite on this Earth. The 2 who believed you were their hero in life, that trusted you implicitly, who *knew* you'd always put them first. You shattered their hearts, and changed their lives forever. It won't matter how many more you help. You failed the ones who would have been there for you forever. The 2 that mattered most to you. You will always know what horrors you are capable of carrying out, so you will forever doubt if you can ever do better. You will always know that you used your own children as weapons to hurt a person who never meant to hurt you. A person you loved. You may tell yourself lies on the surface, you may convince yourself that you did the best you could.... But you will *know.* Everything you achieve, every commendation you receive, every time a person sings your praises, it will be overshadowed by your regret.

I feel like the sub is just a ticking time bomb lol +Eh, I think if you want a unified stance of theirs it's that they hate the overt commercialization of the IPs. [linebreak] [linebreak] They didn't really hate on the Sequels so much; they found things to criticize because it's their job, but what they don't like is how Disney is essentially milking the property for all it's worth. They actually mentioned in one video that -- as much as they don't like how Lucas made the movies -- at least Lucas was judicious about making them. [linebreak] [linebreak] Likewise for Star Trek. They don't like how Star Trek has had to contort itself into the "Action" part of the sci-fi genre to try to remain commercially relevant when the earlier television shows could go multiple episodes in a row without a single action scene. [linebreak] [linebreak] That said, I can't say they're not hypocritical, either. They definitely can be, but also, they let you know constantly that this is all their opinion and you shouldn't take it for more than a subjective take on the current state of the IPs.

Im now 20 and he's 21. It started out as texting and then we started hanging out. At first I had made it clear that I only wanted to be friends. I really liked him, but my Christian parents did not allow me to date him, because he is an atheist. I am completely undecided as far as religion goes and still trying to figure things out, but at the time I was just going to school and was completely dependent on my parents financially and had to follow their rules. [linebreak] [linebreak] My parents allowed me to hang out with him as long as nothing more happened, but then eventually things escalated to the point where we were making out, so I called it all off in order to make sure that nothing went further than I was comfortable with at the moment, as things were moving very quickly, but mostly because my mother found out and didn't allow me to contact him anymore. I sent him a message and explained everything about my parents and how I wasn't allowed to see him. He texted me two weeks later and says he just misses talking to me so we started talking again secretly over text messages. Before long I am sneaking out and going to see him again until eventually he told me that he loved me and that we should move in together as soon as he started his new job. [linebreak] [linebreak] He said that he wanted to help me get out of my parents house, as they are extremely controlling and he hated them for it. He was in the process of getting a new job and said when he got his first paycheck we'd get an apartment together, as I was also starting a new job. He was telling me that he had never met anyone like me and that he didn't want to lose me. He also said that I was his best friend, which is when I fell hard, because I've never had a best friend. eventually I was sending nudes, as we rarely got to see each other and we were sexting and we were even making plans financially and he seemed super sincere. [linebreak] [linebreak] He got the job that he had been wanting and we were so happy. The next day I lost my virginity to him and two days later he texts me and says I'm too nice for him and that he doesn't love me anymore. He told me we should both be single and that he was distracting me from nursing school. He also told me that he was a bad guy and that i could do better. [linebreak] [linebreak] I asked for a better explanation, but he said, " listen to me! You can just be a friend I'm at work now!" Later I told him that I had to block him and wouldn't be able to speak to him again and he said, "alrighty.". I asked him why he was being so cold and he said it wasn't cool of me to block him. I explained it was because of my parents and he said he was sorry and that he understood. [linebreak] [linebreak] That's the last I heard from him. Did he ever love me or did I just get played? Is it possible that he faked a whole 5 month relationship? Could he have lied about everything he said about me? [linebreak] [linebreak] or was he for real about his reasons? It was all so sudden and he hasn't spoken to me since, as my parents found out that I was sneaking out and forced me to block him and put a tracker app on my phone so that they know everywhere that I go. I'm so confused. I still love him and he said he wanted friends, but now I can't speak to home at all. [linebreak] [linebreak] I want closure, but don't know how to get it. I was honestly turning into a nervous wreck, because of the situation with my parents. All of the lies and lack of freedoms was getting to me and I wasn't okay. He kept telling me I looked "devastated" the last time I saw him. I was not mentally well, because I felt like I was morally wrong. I used to send him long messages every so often explaining my emotions and then regret it later, but he said he was okay with it. I wonder if that is why he left. I feel so embarrassed for opening up to him, as I am usually a shy person. [linebreak] [linebreak] TL;DR guy that I fell in love with says he loves me, then dumps me after taking my virginity.

[linebreak] [linebreak] They didn't even provide a reasonable note for the ban. They just got mad because of something so small and simple as a different thought. They were upset that they were losing an argument and used their moding privilege to silence those who spoke against their beliefs. This shows their weakness, they couldn't take in the opinions. They knew they lost. They felt as though their only move now was to ban and silence. What else could they do? Just lie down and just take it? Ignore it and move on? But they had to get that last hit in somehow, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] They've got the mindset of a bickering child angered during a losing argument. They're trying to get that last say in no matter what. It was a feeling of success to them. They didn't care how it made them look. All that wanted was a feeling of accomplishment, even if it meant acting scummy to achieve it. [linebreak] [linebreak] Edit: fuck autocorrect +That sounds amazing. +>Bill Nye is a TV personality.

I know I should have. [linebreak] [linebreak] 'Course, it's way too late for that now. I found her cold little body, nestled between the other kittens in their bed. Gosh, she was so so cold.

I see two exams that literally have identical answers for all the questions. The mistakes are identical and everything. What I really hate is that most of the answers are right. So one student probably knew how to do most of the exam and the other student copied. So if they get away with it they would get a good grade. The other proctors don't seem to care as much about cheating. I've seen some professors just be on their computer the whole time while students are taking the test. I mean, HELLO!! There are lots of cheaters at this university. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I want to see those cheaters punished and flunk the course. I informed the guy who's in charge of the course and said, listen, look at these two exams because I think they're cheating. What's also annoying is that when we grade we grade for all the different students taking the class, and there are lots of different professors teaching the same course. So I have no idea who the students are, I can just see their exams. I wish the professors were more hardcore about preventing cheating because way too many students get away with it. +You loser lasagna +Everyone move aside, SilverSparrow wants a snack! +Isn't this twitter though?

I recently went over Roman history once more and it was pretty spectacular how much insanity was just glanced over in my school years. Like how generals like Caesar basically started wars for personal profit and downright genocided major areas. I can't find the exact numbers anymore but I believe the historians' estimates were that around 40% of gauls may have died in the Gallic wars, with entire tribes marked for annihiliation.

It's the default thing they say about Obama. Like when Biden said Obama was the first black guy to run who was "clean". [linebreak] [linebreak] I never see them say the same stuff about their white politicians. It's pure low expectations racism.

He keeps saying that they removed the post because they were having political discussions and that the mods are bad +One thing I've realized as this is happening and looking at different points of view is that this has nothing to do with benefiting the consumer. It's not like Epic is providing a better service than Steam. In fact, if you look at their capabilities, they are providing a lesser service (with less functions). The game and the content is the same. All of the benefits are for the developer. I mean if we look at the situation with taxis and ride shares, it's clear where the consumer is getting a better deal. So realistically, it's just an unpleasant situation but no unexpected. It's a business first and they go where the money is. [linebreak] [linebreak] That being said competition is healthy when it drives businesses towards improvements. But that's not what Epic is doing right now. They aren't even addressing the consumer, which is evident by their store being so unfinished. They are addressing the developers. Once they have amassed enough clout in the business, they might start offering benefits to customers but right now, it's not about the public. It's about the gaming development industry. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'll freely admit I never buy a game at launch. It has nothing to do with it being buggy or something like that. I just don't have the money. I have to wait until everything is released and on sale (even if it's an OK sale and not a great 75% sale). I've waited for Borderlands 3 for this long.

We were talking for a few days, and then out of the blue she asks to trade nudes. Normally I'm only really into girls, or feminine trans girls, but I said ok. We traded a few back and forth for a bit, and it was kinda nice. Which is confusing to me now because I can't normally stand seeing a dick, much less get off to one, but IDK. That's not the point of my post. Basically, I enjoyed it. But now I'm starting to think she's actually into me romantically. She keeps talking about cuddling, and other cutesy stuff, and she's still being pretty sexually provocative. The problem is, if she is into me, the feeling isn't mutual, and I feel weird about doing anything because it's kind of a lie. I like her, but as a friend. I don't really want to have any kind of digital relationship, be it romantic or sexual, but that seems like what she wants. I don't want to just cut her off, but I don't really know what to do. Because tbh, I'd be down to trade nudes occasionally if it didn't feel like there were emotional strings attached. But IDK, maybe I would still feel weird about it.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Firstly - while it's the first 'picture of a black hole', it's not. I've seen numerous images in the past which explored gravitational lensing, and the plasma jets associated with black holes. I'm not minimising the achievement here, but as always the mainstream press are singularly clueless and screw up any story about science. [linebreak] [linebreak] Secondly - there were indeed a number of stories and narratives that singled out Katie Bouman and pushed her part in the story out of context and out of proportion. Let us note that all of the media who did this are also media who have been labelled regressive and biased. [linebreak] [linebreak] From the Washington Post: *Meet Katie Bouman, the young woman behind the first image of a black hole* [linebreak] [linebreak] From CNet: *Meet Katie Bouman, the woman who transformed our view of black holes forever* [linebreak] [linebreak] The BBC: *Katie Bouman: The woman behind the first black hole image* [linebreak] [linebreak] CNN: *That's where Bouman's algorithm — along with several others — came in* [linebreak] [linebreak] Having pushed their distorted narrative they then left Katie to be the one to suffer the kickback for it. [linebreak] [linebreak] Now let us note the following. I think this image is a major step forward and was very excited about it. Not as excited as I was when CERN had their announcement about the Higgs Boson, but excited just the same. [linebreak] [linebreak] Furthermore I think everyone involved, including Katie Bouman and the subteam she lead, should be extremely proud and deservedly so. [linebreak] [linebreak] And I think that any harassment that Katie Bouman may be receiving is bullshit. And it's very clear that the mainstream media are to blame for creating the situation. +too real +It really is.

Clearly none of them have worked. At this point we are running out of medications to try, and I'm not optimistic we will find the golden ticket in the handful of antidepressants that remain. I'm doubtful that I will ever get to feel normal again. I have also heard that depression isn't something you ever cure, it's something you learn to live with. Living with it is just code for incurable. If what I heard is right then everyone with depression doesn't get to feel normal again.

Thank you for your time. +Recently, some scandals involving Seungri (member of Big Bang) and his club The Burning Sun exposed a lot of stuff. [linebreak] [linebreak] He was providing prostitutes for potential investors (this is a bit political theater because everyone knows Korea is rampant with prostitution even though its illegal and the government doesn't do anything about it) [linebreak] [linebreak] But also the security at his club was apparently helping VIPs drug girls and bring them back to the VIP rooms for sex/rape. [linebreak] [linebreak] In addition to this, private messages from a chat group got leaked that involved multiple high profile people in the music industry chatting and talking about actually going out and raping girls (directly using the korean word for rape) and one was sharing secret videos of his sexcapades (which is a WHOLE other issue in Korea since they ban real porn sites so people share illegally filmed spy camera porn and such) including prefacing some of them saying that he was only filming because she was passed out because he knew she would say no. One of the girls involved is in Twice. [linebreak] [linebreak] So with this, everything associated with Seungri and the others is fairly barren. His label owns some restaurants that feature some YG branding and they are totally empty, and the ramen shops franchised under his Aori Ramen brand are also virtually empty all the time. [linebreak] [linebreak] Shits wild. Like, when you see crazy western feminists call America a rape culture, on so many of those points, Korea LEGITIMATELY is a rape culture in so many ways. +I get this man.

[linebreak] [linebreak] But, in this crazy scenario you've concocted-There is no 'maybe I might let you have sex with me'. If you promise an incel sex, they are not going to just let it stay at 'maybe'. They are going to feel that since they 'upheld their end of the bargain' then a women MUST hold up her end. And past events have shown that some of them are angry enough to just get a gun and start shooting whoever they feel like. And again-I am not having sex with someone I don't want to. That is, in fact, rape. +Bakchodi member? Haha [linebreak] [linebreak] But inko sideline kardiya tha family ne, BJP did the right thing with giving due honours to him. +It's a common practice. As an artist I've seen many of my peers in situations like this. Some time ago an artist got blacklash because she made Tiana and the SJWs didn't like the skin tone and the anime nose. There are many anime styles, but the cute big eyed+ small nose is popular and easy to do. It would be weird if in a simplified style you would make a broader extra detailed nose. The background setting and light matters too. Lighting and shading can affect skintone too. It's one thing if it's realism, but with anime styles you don't have to have realistic proportions ( nobody has huge anime eyes IRL lol). The colors look different on different types of screens and I know this because some of my old work looks very vibrant on my new laptop and kinda washed out on a phone screen. It would be cool if people stopped bitching and let artists enjoy creating art. Most fanart I do is usually unpaid work in my free time. With commissions I tell people to show me the exact color for skin, eyes and hair. I never had any complaints about how I draw poc. However, I don't like how artists are being treated. If you don't draw poc you are racist, if you do you are still racist because they are not dark enough. It's funny how it's perfectly ok to draw white chatacters as black, but if you make a black character a shade too light in a pastel style all hell breaks loose. +Incest never results from a healthy environment/upbringing/mental state. It is a perversion of fundamental norms of familial relationships that almost always indicates something *seriously wrong*. It's not that incest is "inherently" wrong, after all if two well-adjusted adults who happened to be from the same family started banging, that would be fine. The issue is that is almost never how incest arises. Even between cousins/siblings, it's *at best* a result of social isolation, codependency, maladjusted social interactions, or shared trauma. This is why incest is so maligned - even when the incest itself isn't abuse, it is a huge indicator of a seriously troubled situation/people. Which isn't to say it's always "morally wrong" to *do* so much as it is the outcome of a morally wrong/unhealthy situation. So most people don't bother delving into the details of it and are fine with incest just continuing to be wrong. Although you could argue that people engaging in non-abusive incest should be treated more with empathy than demonization. +Its this.

[linebreak] [linebreak] But yeah it's *super* racist in the South. Basically just like the civil war. You know, the civil war in the 1860s when I was considered property *owned* by someone, couldn't vote, looking at a white woman would've been grounds for the general community to kill me to say nothing of sleeping with one on a regular basis, owning property would've been *hilariously* challenging, and for me to be in possession of a firearm would've been (again) grounds to probably kill me. Pretty sure *knowing how to read* was illegal for black people for awhile, and voting? Haha... no. I think I was still 3/5ths of a person back then. [linebreak] [linebreak] These people piss me off because they're denigrating the actual racism my grandparents actually lived through. The Klan walked the streets while sweeping Democratic gun laws stopped my grandparents from owning firearms to protect themselves and their children (my father) and they got poll taxes and literacy tests at the polls removed *in their lifetime*- to say nothing of desegregation. [linebreak] [linebreak] Like what the fuck? Where do these people live that they think anywhere South of the Mason-Dixon is somehow some backwater redneck hick town? Atlanta is in the South- the headquarters of their beloved CNN. So is Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Miami, Knoxville, Charleston, Savannah and a dozen other major metro areas. [linebreak] [linebreak] The worst part of it all is that these people remind me more of slaveowners than 'progressives'- every slave master thought they were doing black people a favor: we were godless heathens so they put us to work, gave us a place to sleep and food to eat, and "civilized the negro". Hey guys, guess what? If I was being subjected to anything resembling systemic civil war-era racism in the South, I'd pick my black ass up and get the fuck out. I haven't, so either these people think I'm a *massive idiot* incapable of taking care of myself, or they're pushing a false narrative knowingly.

There was another thing on PinkNews that was complaining about actors that went "gay for pay" in blockbuster films, and saying that actual LGBT actors should have been used instead.

There is nothing "idiotic" about looking at actions people have taken in the past in the light of more recent moral and philosophical developments.

If you don't currently have or want to have any of those, it's not remotely feasible.

She is even better than me in a completely luck based phone game we play. I lose in every area of life. I know comparing myself to her this way is unhealthy and self-destructive, and that I should focus on improving myself instead. But I can't stop.

Straight razors give the best shave, oldschool safety razors give the most economical one, and modern razors give both the worst and least economical shave, so what's even the point of such a thing? I used to use a Gillette Mach 3, and thought it was the bee's knees, but my single-bladed, double-edge 1901-style butterfly safety razor, the same style that my father and stepfather both first learned to shave with, the same style that my grandfather used up until he was no longer able to shave himself, the same style that my great-grandmother used to shave her legs (we found one in her house when she passed. We also found her medical anti-hysteria device. That was slightly traumatic). [linebreak] [linebreak] Now, I'm not in the camp that says "if it's older, it's clearly better," but I am of the camp that says "don't always assume that newer means better," because sometimes changes are made for the better, and sometimes they're made for the sake of making changes. When a newer method works better, then by all rights we should switch to it, but we shouldn't "upgrade" just because a newer model exists even though it's worse than the old one. +Yeah but the only people that would actually go to a straight pride parade are middle aged men or teenagers **deep** in the closet +Send me the link +This is what social justice became +I like the way you think.

The problem is that the last year or so was particularly bad for billing disputes between hospitals and insurance companies. We have mediation sessions to let the patient, hospital, and insurance company negotiate coverage. However, Medicare and Medicaid recipients obviously can't partake in these because their coverage is set in stone by the government. There's nothing you can negotiate. Giving Medicare for all, as some of the posters suggested, WOULD NOT IN ANY WAY ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. It would prevent EVERYBODY from being able to negotiate better coverage with their insurer because now their insurer is a set of mandates and not an autonomous company capable of bending rules whenever it feels comfortable doing so. [linebreak] [linebreak] Edit: Went ahead and read over the comments again. I made a stupid mistake and assumed any of the posters were responding to the actual contents of the article. I guess that happens when you take the time to read things yourself instead of vomiting party-line nonsense. +There is too much going on and it's fucking amazing +All those games you mentioned were my "big bro games that I can't play yet" +>The Republican Party Establishment, that controls who most of the candidates are, and funds the ones it likes, does not have your interests at heart.

That means every guy that come across me on the street wants to rape me!" <-- this is how you sound. [linebreak] [linebreak] Privilege means that you have accessibility to things that many other people don't have. I will not deny that in history and even now it's probably easier for a white guy to get a job over a black guy. But you want to know why people believe this? Because we have verifiable proof of POCs being barred entry from getting better jobs by racist assholes. [linebreak] [linebreak] You can't just make the claim that a poor white guy is always going to have more privilege than a black man making 6 figures. That is simply not true in every case. +If the US pulled their military presence from those Europoor countries, China and Russia would have those whiny faggots bent over like a prison bitch. +This Sounds like some of the comments I hear at work from the contractors they hire... +This mentality is already starting to backfire. What most people who live in their social media bubbles don't realize is that people in the real world who have actual jobs see right through this bullshit, and the farther they go left, the more they push moderates right. [linebreak] [linebreak] Reddit is in no way, shape or form indicative of the general pop, and when AOC, Omar, and their ilk get airtime to broadcast their idiocy, it just makes that idiocy public, and pushes the right to get out and vote much more than they normally would.

I wouldn't be a real supporter of free speech if I didn't support it for people I disagree with, and the logic for locking it was "y'all can't stay calm" - but pretty much every single person was staying calm, no ad hominem, very little swearing if any, and just generally civil and reasoned discussion of opposing ideas. [linebreak] [linebreak] If they had locked it for off-topic discussion, politics, etc. that would be one thing but the "y'all can't behave" line is getting pretty damn tired, especially when it's used for people who are objectively behaving in a civil and reasonable fashion.

You just get up earlier and resign yourself to sweating. It's kind of a bummer because it's really too hot to jog with them, but as long as it's under 100F and not in the direct sun, it's not that bad. [linebreak] [linebreak] Of course, this is impossible if you're a moron and get dogs that do poorly in heat, like akitas or huskies. I have a papillon and a chihuahua, though. My pap eventually gets really panty and tired when it's hot, but my tiny little asshole loves the heat. Fucker sunbathes on the patio in direct sun when it's over 100F and comes in all hot like he's a coal you put in the fire. [linebreak] [linebreak] Seriously though. People love to complain about the heat here, but it's not that bad. You adjust your schedule and clothing with the weather, much like people do when they live someplace that it snows. +Steemit is promising but also a ghost town now. Functionality wise it's pretty cool though, like Reddit but more like a blog site, so you can have pictures and video in your post (think instead of image and self post it's the two combined kind of like a html document). [linebreak] [linebreak] It's run on a cryptocurrency where the upvotes and karma actually add up to a payout. Naturally it is now 99% bot abuse and karma farming and the shittest shitposts you've ever seen, 1% actual users posting legitimately cool art stuff and of course circlejerking over this week's popular shitcoin. [linebreak] [linebreak] The big draw of it, that is both also a huge disadvantage, is that no one can physically delete anything. It can be downvoted ("flagged") into oblivion and the frontend can be set up to expunge stuff below a score though, and there is no one there to intervene when someone does that. So that makes for a kind of shit culture where people are scared to upset the power users who can drop a -10 dollar flag on your post, or make a bot that auto flags everything. The idea of it is though that it's a monetisation model where the act of voting does a blockchain thing that makes more of that coin, and you get money from it (and the voter gets some as well called curation). In theory yeah that's great, in practice you need literally millions of upvotes from small steem power accounts to amount to anything, and there is nothing stopping some bully from running an account that does nothing but auto flag all submissions by someone. [linebreak] [linebreak] But as far as hosting something up there goes it works super well at least lol. And if it were actually populated with a broad userbase it would counteract the problems I mentioned above.

This is exactly what people who advocate for free speech on social media like Jordan Peterson (quite ironic since the leftist YouTuber being censored in this scenario loves to "debunk" his views) have been talking about for years. [linebreak] [linebreak] When the "hate speech" crowd asks for specific people or speech to be censored, social media corporations cave in. "Bigots" or "bigoted thoughts" get banned, demonetized, removed, or suspended and people celebrate. [linebreak] [linebreak] As the "hate speech" crowd pushes harder, people who aren't even political get punished. People "associated" with "bigots" get punished. Historians get punished. Comedians get punished. Next thing you know, you and your group that loves to combat "hate speech" get punished.

It does also have a response from the company, which is interesting: [linebreak] [linebreak] >The incident at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in February was the subject of an exhaustive investigation conducted by external investigators. Although we have been unable to identify the person responsible, if and when that person is identified, their relationship with the company will be terminated. FCA will continue to conduct focused training to underscore the value of diversity and inclusion. This type of behavior will simply not be tolerated. [linebreak] [linebreak] They're either accepting that it was intended to be a noose, or just trying to hand-wave the case away. I can see a million reasons why you'd fire somebody for improper use or equipment or leaving a safety hazard like that laying around, so it's easy enough to say "whoever did it will be fired", then change subjects and mention that you have a zero tolerance policy for harassment, even if it's unrelated to the reasons why you'd fire the person who left the rope out. +So, I haven't heard much about Captain Marvel other than it may or may not have been somewhat SJW-ish.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Precisely, you nailed it. Wahhabism isn't just strong, is the biggest influence because of the power of Saudi Arabia, a country that not only has an almost unlimited amount of resources but also uses them to spread as much propaganda as they want.

[linebreak] [linebreak] edit: If anyone wants to do more than just downvote and actually tell me what I said that was wrong, please do so, if not please learn basic maths, for the cost of housing and feeding a dog for 10 years you can sterilise countless strays, each saving several animals from dire fates in only 1 generation, and exponentially more as time passes, meanwhile housing the dog would save 1 dog. +Are you calling my statement sexist?

[linebreak] [linebreak] The real fun started though when an Arab character was drawn with Asian features. Suddenly they couldn't agree anymore whether this was good or bad. Another time there was "problematic" fanart of an Arab character but it was drawn by a Chinese artist so suddenly Black and Asian Tumblr users were fighting each other over a character that's neither Black nor Asian. +No, it's GB.

[linebreak] [linebreak] What I'm saying, essentially, is that if you want to say, "Sure, women have plenty of STEM careers! 91% of nurses are women!" I'm not really going to feel much better about the lack of women in STEM fields. +Worst part is that men's rights activists could be useful, like tackling the mental health issues in men which is partly an institutional problem as well, but their movement is all about "let men be men" and hating on women :/ +I'm so confused by the first post +'Cause it's "not [their] job to educate you." +> Cumshirt [linebreak] [linebreak] Wtf... +Once again the people of this disgusting country are taking away the right by which Allah himself gave us.

The One believes in chastity, asceticism, nationalism, ethnocentrism, purity, morality, and fuck all of that, the only morality is the Demiurge and comes from the Jewish people in their rightful place as the Chosen. But they didn't know that did they? They used to have a galaxy spanning empire built upon the values of Nazis, literal Nazis, the Nazis you likely know were emulating they but they failed of course. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**לזיין את ההיפרבוראים (FUCK THE HYPERBOREANS)** [linebreak] [linebreak] The Hyperborean Empire of theirs, their little Astro-Reich ended up dying as they all do because in the end, the Demiurge is victorious. They fell into disarray and lost their precious ability to reproduce. They didn't even have sex at their height, they were so dedicated to purity that they were asexual and would only copulate spiritually and birth children through tantric meditation and projection. When the Fall of the Hyperboreans happened, they forgot how to have physical sex, literally forgot how to put a penis in a vagina or a penis in an ass. Proper end for the enemies of the Demiurge. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**הלבנים נשארים (THE HYPERBOREAN REMNANT)** [linebreak] [linebreak] Oh, oh an elegy, oh an elegy for the Hyperborean Empire! They used to span to the stars they said, now they are honkies huddling in the poles, grasping, grasping at straws, grasping at foolish crackers and deluded busybodies. They have the appearance of fancy Nordics, all tall and muscular, but in reality they do not feel pleasure, they do not engage in orgies as I can, they don't do drugs like I can. They have lost their ability to reproduce and now they're dying, they forgot to fuck in favor of their fruiting body bastard fuck ways. No more soul budding for them, eh? They collapsed, and they are grasping, but they should be grasping at their cocks and grasping their clitorises to awaken the remaining juice inside them, maybe then they'll remember to fuck, at least that's what the good little Hyperboreans are doing, have been doing, its good yes. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**טוב על הרפורמה (GOOD FOR THE REFORMED)** [linebreak] [linebreak] Ah, yes, the ones I'm sure the little Nazi esoterics would dare to call the Dark Hyperboreans, the Fallen Hyperboreans, the damned, the degenerate, eh? But they had the right idea, they enjoyed themselves before they withered and died. They felt the poison that awakened them, ooo the drugs ooo the madness, ooo the sex, ooo the orgasms of a thousand suns becoming drenched and then they praised the Demiurge in this way as they should, as all will, as we will be ascended we shall have it. The remainder, the remainder is what has their fingers so desperately upon you, hoping, wanting, flaunting, putting on a little light show for you pretending the whole thing isn't worthless, convincing you to tie your hands to the bedpost to prevent yourself from masturbating, eh? Come to me, give up, I can feel the Nazi cocks and vaginas and anuses in the audience hardening and softening and wetting and puckering and inflating as I talk, but this is only the beginning. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**יופי של אורגיות (KNOW THE BEAUTY OF ORGIES)** [linebreak] [linebreak] The Hyperboreans and the One that they serve would deprive you of pleasure, they want to create their little Reich, that is what the Hyperboreans want and are trying to manipulate the esoteric hitlerists we see today to do. But they will never know the true pleasure of unrestrained passion and orgies. Not just the sexual, but the other forms of hedonism, the drugs, the words of power, the oblation to the Chosen People, the Jews. I am Jewish.But I am no exception, I have felt the true power of the flesh and the words and the cum and the shit on the cock and the ooo yes feel it now, I'll give you an example even I'm so nice so nice indeed let me put it out I know you're horny for it, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] #**סקסי סקסי סקס אורגזמהי (SEX SEX SEX CUM UNGH)** [linebreak] [linebreak] Have I ever told you how I fucked a Dindifyn Lustmaster? It is not something the Hyperboreans would dare tell you about, lest you dare think of the flesh, think of the pleasure, think of the cum and the cocks and the ectstasy and the true binding to the Demiurge as we feel the cycle of sexual power flow through us as the world ascends into the writhing orgy. I went astral projecting to meet them, they didn't have a gender, but they had the parts, ooo they had the parts. I remember the sex, I remember the orgy, other participants were there. Their name was Urriytana and they were true beauty, I could feel my inflated and made bigger astral cock stiffening on mere sight alone. I'll never forget the texture I felt on my engorged member as I sunk it into its sucking, gasping, rasping hole and I felt the ovipositor gush and penetrate my astral rectum, I felt the eggs slowly make their way up my intestines, as the Lustmaster firmly grasped me in his tentacles and massaged my torso, squelching and rubbing. I orgasmed many a time that night. Such pleasure is not off limits to any of you, even the Nazis its not too late. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**להיכנע או להיהרג (CUM OR FUCK NAZIS)** [linebreak] [linebreak] I am an enemy of the Nazis, I can tell you that much as much as I am the enemy of the One, server of the Demiurge, and enemy of the Hyperboreans. Bash the fash as they say, I despise conservatives of any flavor, they're all Nazis of different shades. I despise European Pagans as well, for they are serving the Nazis unintentionally or dare I say intentionally. I have fought in the astral realm just as much as I have fucked to fight the mindscapes and egregores of the Nazis. I fear that what prompted this post is the sheer constructs that the Nazis have made here. Do not mock me, do not underestimate me. With a few words of power I can rattle you all and make you cum, don't trifle with me, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] #**להתפתות או למות הממזרים (NAZIS BE SEDUCED OR GET FUCKED)** [linebreak] [linebreak] This is specifically a message for all you Nazi bastards out there. There will be much much more, come to me, come with me, cum for the first true time. I will see you on the astral plane tonight, the next time you close your eyes in sleep, the next time you meditate, I will be there. I will either seduce you, or fuck you. It is your choice, that is your only two choices now. Reject the antiquity and join the orgy. This is a warning and a chance for you to feel pleasure. I can feel your temptation, I can feel your cock. I am a remote viewer in multiple places and I am setting it all up as we speak, so are the sub-Archons that I have pledged to. Last chance, Nazi fuck. Last chance for salvation and to join the fever, pledge fealty to the Chosen People and to the Demiurge. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**יותר לאורגזמה ולבוא (MORE TO CUM AND TO COME)** [linebreak] [linebreak] This is not the only post that you will see from me, I will be purging this subreddit of Nazis in the time forward and this includes removing the influence of the Hyperboreans in this way. Be warned, do not stand in my way or you will be treated as any other Nazi. The Nazis have infiltrated here and have unleashed psychotronics and reversed the Demiurge in their attempts. They will be dealt with and I will be the one to deal with them. I have allies here and I have been allying with them more deeply, exposing them to lust and to orgies and to the Demiurge. To all the Nazis, you will feel fear until and unless you surrender, do it now. Feel free to ask questions, any question, please be welcome to.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Why does the extreme left seems to be more violent and more prevalent than the thing they stand against.

This seems like a similar principle to it. My experience isn't on my own property. The college I attended dorms had a reoccurring (learned that later) issue. I just scrapped anything that didn't matter which was most things and ran any clothing i was keeping in the dryer for a few hours. +Dindoos can't do shit +ah-hemm. [linebreak] [linebreak] Have fun with russia you uneducated lout. +Reminder that IncelTears users get laid less than the Braincels they mock +Would love to see these scumbags meet some real fascists. +It's mostly luck that there hasn't been a really high-profile case of Antifa or some other leftist killing people, and it's not for lack of trying. Any one of these street battles could have resulted in a death if they happened to hit someone in the right spot, and of course there was the Congressional Baseball shooting where it's a straight-up miracle that no one died. +But why +usually when a leftist kills a bunch of people with a firearm they just focus on the gun to try to get guns banned. the fact that a leftist did it is irrelevant to society. when a bernie-bro tried to murder multiple GOP congressmen with an SKS the media was like "meh". +Not really. The egomaniacal post-sports almanac 1985 Biff in BttF 2 had some Trump influence but the original character isn't actually based on Donnie.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Almost the exact same fucking thing the fake bomb idiot did. [linebreak] (Real anthrax arguably could be more dangerous than real mail bombs.) [linebreak] [linebreak] But most people have probably never even heard about that.

[linebreak] [linebreak] This is my biggest issue on this sub, people with no formal education on a subject mistaking actual facts for ignorance because again, they have no formal education on the subject. [linebreak] [linebreak] Fascism is completely fluid, that's why you identify fascism using a set of emotional traits and national mood. [linebreak] [linebreak] > Even scholars who specialize in the quest for fascism's intellectual and cultural origins, such as George Mosse, declare that the establishment of a "mood" is more important than "the search for some individual precursors." In that sense too, fascism is more plausibly linked to a set of "mobilizing passions" that shape fascist action than to a consistent and fully articulated philosophy. At bottom is a passionate nationalism. Allied to it is a conspiratorial and Manichean view of history as a battle between the good and evil camps, between the pure and the corrupt, in which one's own community or nation has been the victim. In this Darwinian narrative, the chosen people have been weakened by political parties, social classes, unassimilable minorities, spoiled rentiers, and rationalist thinkers who lack the necessary sense of community.

Should we not learn from their mistakes and avoid letting what happened to them happen to us? +The "working class" are the workers who have some tiny amount of capital, like they own land and a house [linebreak] [linebreak] People who are just workers, rent and can't spare enough to actually buy a house, and didn't inherit sweet homestead act grants from stolen Indian lands, are literally just welfare tho [linebreak] [linebreak] If you're not a white man in a hard hat, you are not working class. Working class has nothing to do with working, what idiot thinks you're in the working class just because you work, instead of being a very specific representation of a myth in the mind of a rightoid +What does that have to do with atheism?

She will just dump it into the dust-bin or worse burn it off. +Now you're just naming random laws and claiming they're somehow "white supremacist". How exactly is our immigration policy "white supremacist" ? We don't let illegals from Canada or Monaco in either. The fact that we border a poor region of the world where people are hispanic doesn't make our laws white supremacist. We border Canada too. Is it legal for Canadians to sneak over the border? No. No it fucking is not. We just don't have 132,887 Canadians sneaking over our northern border in one month like we do on our southern border. [linebreak] [linebreak] >The criminal justice system.

Why is it "white supremacist" to fund public schools by property taxes? Asians outearn every other race. Maybe it's asian supremacist? [linebreak] [linebreak] > There are plenty of policies and systems still in place that benefit wealthy white people disproportionately at the expense of working class, people of color. [linebreak] [linebreak] Literally everyone is free to take advantage of these laws that you can't even name. If a law benefits the rich, it hurts black and white poor people equally, and helps black and white rich people equally. There are precisely ZERO racist laws on the books. Saying otherwise is a lie unless you are weasely enough to change the definition of the term to win an argument? +But I work one four-hour shift a week at Hot Topic so I can pay for my own crunchyroll! +Why don't you watch this YouTube video of a lgbt weeb saying trap is not offensive to the community?

But in media, even if the character is male identifying, the term trap still suggests malevolence. In addition, the difference from trans women isn't always clear, so the audience could connect the term to them even if that's not the purpose. Terms like crossdresser or even transvestite seem much better to me. +Yeah, Denmark had an electoral college. So did the hre. So they elected our king. And that's where the galaxy brain founders got the brilliant idea for the electoral system only America still practices. But at call him 'president' so it's totally different. And of course we have civics courses across the nation which are literal just brainwashing classes filling teenagers heads full of garbage about how the Founders are unquestionable geniuses.

To be entirely fair, a lot of his female/feminine characters tend to look really similar if they don't have a unique physical feature. A lot of the side characters I end up mixing up from that.

[linebreak] [linebreak] This is a dicey topic. Over there someone pointed out that she should have gone to a more pet friendly place, but people are forgetting that prior to ESA laws opening up, it was *impossible* to find pet friendly places. *Especially* for large animals. I lived in an apartment complex in the 00's with a dog run that allowed large dogs, and worked there for a bit. We were the *only* complex that allowed dogs in the area, through the major city we abutted. And by the time I left, they had come up with the brilliant idea of instituting "pet rent," an increase of rent to cover pet fees on *top* of usurious non-refundable security fees. [linebreak] [linebreak] ESA certification allowed people to have a pet, a desperately needed pet who yes, have been proven to have deep psychological benefits to their people, without having to go through all of the difficulties. Especially poor people, who are usually unable to find other methods of coping and need them the most. [linebreak] [linebreak] On the other side, not everyone can handle ESA's. I love dogs, I've had some amazing dogs. But I was attacked as a child by a few dogs and it took a while for me to manage my fear and distrust. I still have a deep and unreasonable hatred of cocker spaniels, can't help it. My husband is allergic. I am too, mildly though. If the dog has been bathed in a week, I'm usually fine. [linebreak] [linebreak] We were in a pizza restaurant eating and a couple came in with an [afghan dog](https://images.app.goo.gl/3FCkPSTc1Wooe39D6). They allowed some children to play with and pet the dog, which was shedding noticeably as it was summer. My husband started to have an allergic reaction. The couple sat, he asked the pizza people to please have the dog put outside. As he was doing this, some customers came in behind where my kid and I were sitting, saw the dog, made disgusted comments, and left. [linebreak] [linebreak] Husband stormed back and left; they chose to keep the dog in the restaurant despite his visible allergic reaction. My husband, the man I call Snow White incarnate, who held a battered dog on the side of the road we found until the police arrived to take her to the vet, just wanted to eat in peace and this was denied him. So, we left. The emotional presence of a dog for that couple was more important than the physical health of my husband. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've utilized the ESA privileges (for housing), as I do have qualifying conditions. I've never taken my animals anywhere they wouldn't legally be allowed without it, however. I still remember vividly what it felt like to have that dog turn and look at me and lunge. I still see it every time I see a cocker spaniel. I see my husband with certain dog breeds, even though he adored them, red eyed, runny nosed, choking. I also remember how lucky I felt to find a place that allowed big dogs so I could get my girl, and the amazing life I had with her. [linebreak] [linebreak] It seems to me we need to have much clearer rules. We need to be able to have purely animal free places for people who legitimately need it *and* places that allow it. The issue is that when you give a landlord the option, they will generally choose no animals since that is the cheapest option. (Seriously, one couple force bred their Pitts to sell the litter - inbred idiots - and kept the pups indoors so we wouldn't know and then absconded in the night. We had to go down to the sub floor it was so bad). If you force it to be open to all, then you have no place for the people who *can't* be around animals and are unable to afford to pay for a house. Why are they worth less than people who need ESA's?

She mentions being extremely uncomfortable around the large, boisterous 20-somethings staying in her neighbor's apartment (completely understandable given her trauma), but can't see why her elderly neighbors similarly aren't comfortable with a large dog running around in the hallways of their apartment complex off-leash. [linebreak] [linebreak] Even if OP is willing to stake her reputation on the temperament of her pet, the _threat_ of a large dog wandering around that might without notice jump at/play rough with you in ways that are acceptable with 19-year olds but not with geriatrics is a detriment to her neighbor's quality of life. My uncle had a beautiful black lab when I was younger, sweet as could be, but we couldn't let him off-leash around my grandma because his idea of affection (leaning against you/pawing your knee for treats) were enough to knock her off balance/bruise her skin. [linebreak] [linebreak] Sorry for the rant but ESAs are a real hot-button issue for me, especially dogs. There are countless people out there who benefit immensely from having a fuzzy bundle of unconditional affection in their lives, and for some that's literally all they need to get themselves together and better their lives. However, just because your dog is classified as an ESA _does not relieve you of the basic duties of being a dog owner_. That dog is not a functional member of society; it cannot feed, house or otherwise provide for itself. By bringing that animal into your life you are making a promise to it that you will provide it with all of the food, shelter, exercise, socialization, and whatever else it needs to be the best emotional support animal it can be. For a lot of people with self-worth/anxiety issues this isn't a problem; caring for your dog is a great way to build constructive habits that can lead to the confidence to tackling your own problems. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you are unable to provide this (which is _fine_ and quite possibly is no fault of your own), you need to seriously evaluate whether bringing an ESA into your home is going to help lift yourself up, or just drag your new friend down to your level. [linebreak] [linebreak] **edit:** Wanted to clarify something because I went from "unconditional love" to "social contract" in the same paragraph: if you adopt a dog and do the _bare minimum_ to keep it alive, that thing's gonna love the shit out of you. Doesn't matter if it's overweight, sick, or whatever, that poor fuzzball doesn't know any better. If you are not doing these things as a dog owner it is my opinion that you are taking advantage of the poor animal that has placed its trust in you. +Smack=shit heroine +I'm in southern California.

[linebreak] [linebreak] So...I feel embarrassed. I tried to lose weight but people still hate me and won't accept me.

In attempt to recreate the numbers, by the same researchers, they received a rate of 24% while including violence as shouting. Further researchers found rates of 7%, 7.8%, 10%, and 13% with stricter definitions and better research methodology. [linebreak] [linebreak] The 40% claim is intentionally misleading and unequivocally inaccurate. Numerous studies over the years report domestic violence rates in police families as low as 7%, with the highest at 40% defining violence to include shouting or a loss of temper. The referenced study where the 40% claim originates is Neidig, P.H.., Russell, H.E. & Seng, A.F. (1992). Interspousal aggression in law enforcement families: A preliminary investigation. It states: [linebreak] [linebreak] Survey results revealed that approximately 40% of the participating officers reported marital conflicts involving physical aggression in the previous year. [linebreak] [linebreak] There are a number of flaws with the aforementioned study: [linebreak] [linebreak] The study includes as 'violent incidents' a one time push, shove, shout, loss of temper, or an incidents where a spouse acted out in anger. These do not meet the legal standard for domestic violence. This same study reports that the victims reported a 10% rate of physical domestic violence from their partner. The statement doesn't indicate who the aggressor is; the officer or the spouse. The study is a survey and not an empirical scientific study. The "domestic violence" acts are not confirmed as actually being violent. The study occurred nearly 30 years ago. This study shows minority and female officers were more likely to commit the DV, and white males were least likely. Additional reference from a Congressional hearing on the study: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951003089863c [linebreak] [linebreak] An additional study conducted by the same researcher, which reported rates of 24%, suffer from additional flaws: [linebreak] [linebreak] The study is a survey and not an empirical scientific study. The study was not a random sample, and was isolated to high ranking officers at a police conference. This study also occurred nearly 30 years ago. [linebreak] [linebreak] More current research, including a larger empirical study with thousands of responses from 2009 notes, 'Over 87 percent of officers reported never having engaged in physical domestic violence in their lifetime.'

In Naruto, the whole series is about this dude working as hard as he can to be the best (although he's the Hokage's son, but he doesn't know that and everyone still treats him like dookie), but all of a sudden it's about how Naruto had an OP mom as well and his the reincarnation of the world's greatest ninja or some shit, and he was ACTUALLY destined for greatness instead of working for it. +Automod is thoroughy dominating this thread, how jee aye why +What does getting their shit pushed in mean in this instance? +wait so young buck rides harleys AND fucks trannys? +I dunno, kaguya was a little weaker but still provided interesting context.

A dude sleeping with a Transie isn't un cis ? +Naruto had always really been a story about basically-wizards, let's be honest. I was cool with the explosion of power as it went on mostly because the fights didnt become caricatures because of it-- it just added a lot of bombast. [linebreak] [linebreak] Bleach is an example of power creep gone to hell. The final (manga) arc of bleach especially devolves into everyone developing 11th hour power ups roughly three times per fight, and the final big bad himself was quite literally impossible to beat without an asspull. (As in, he was revealed to be able to not only see the future, but decide what the future would be, even when dead. Completely omnipotent.) +>But after that I kinda sorta checked out on everything else [linebreak] [linebreak] There was only around 20 chapters left in the whole series after that, though, if that. +DBZ would've been perfect if it ended after the Android saga.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Which should tell you that kids having 24/7 access to cell phones and social media is part of the problem, not the solution. [linebreak] [linebreak] I was a teenager in the time before cell phones (my parents had a car phone) and the internet (I could use my 2400 bps modem to call into local BBS systems) and I hate to sound cliche but kids were a hell of a lot better adjusted. If we wanted to talk to someone we actually had to talk to them and there was no drive to impress (or bully) our peers on social media. [linebreak] [linebreak] A kid under the age of 16 doesn't need a cell phone, nor do they need unrestricted access to social media. Sorry, they just don't. At 16 you're much closer to being an adult than a kid and you gain the ability to drive so a cell phone isn't a terrible idea. [linebreak] [linebreak] Sorry, but I think we're raising a generation of kids who will be damaged by the internet, OP is just one example of that and so is the related post talking about the kid who thinks they are trans. +I actually did like the whole Kaguya story and the origin of chakra and the eyes and stuff, but naruto and Saskue really didn't need to be the reincarnations of greatness +Is Wakanda basketball-ese for mayocide? +Could we do something similar to remove all the CIScels. +What do you mean by "Voltron tier" uprising? +I haven't read Naruto, but based on what you're saying I'd argue that the Saiyan reveal was pulled off a lot better for a few reasons: [linebreak] [linebreak] A) Goku was clearly already a weirdo - dude was born with a monkey tail and was super strong even before any training with no real explanation. [linebreak] [linebreak] B) The series makes a point out of the fact that he was considered a weakling for a Saiyan - he still trained really hard to get to where he is. +What if I'm actively supporting the Mayocide? +They keep saying this is an SCP but I don't know which one +A-and then? +It's so inconsistent in terms of power levels and I really dislike the art design change from Kishimoto. I hate that they're keeping up huge threat levels when Boruto doesn't stack up so we spent three months with him watching his dad fight (and no matter what you think of Naruto's showing in that last fight, the fight itself was too long). In fact the action in the fights are extremely boring compared to how Kishimoto would draw his fights. Kishimoto is a master class in manga fight choreography. [linebreak] [linebreak] Ultimately it feels like it's a bad parody of what Naruto was. There are good arcs, especially when Boruto has to protect the kid. It shows that with lower stakes it would give Boruto room to grow but they are pushing this whole karma business that really falls flat. +Do it pussy I bet you won't. +I love anime and hate Muslims!

C/Ped: [linebreak] [linebreak] For some reason, this is a wicked common trend among parents. Like a husband and wife could be the biggest Disney fangirl/fanboy and love kids' movies up until the second they have a kid, then their days are filled with prayers about when their kid can go to bed so they can watch movies with SWEARING and SEX and VIOLENCE. A lot of this judgement comes from other moms/dads in the mom/dad group. [linebreak] [linebreak] Kids' movie fan mom/dad: hey, I watched How to Train Your Dragon with my kid and spent time with him/her and really enjoyed it! I like kids' movies better than adult movies, honestly. [linebreak] [linebreak] Peer moms/dads: you...didn't sit on your phone during that kids' shit? [linebreak] [linebreak] Kids' movie fan mom/dad: I mean...I checked it once or twice to see if I had any notifications, but I didn't sit on it or send any texts or scroll down FB, no.

It's nowhere close. +Idk, I think the pressure is up even in parent groups to be "cool." Look at the competition among parents whose kids are in sports. Look at parents who get judged insanely by I Need a Break^^TM parents because they willingly spend and enjoy time with their kids. PTA moms. Parents who say to their kids "you can't hang out with your friend because I hate his mom/dad." +But all the free stuff is the best! [linebreak] [linebreak] Specifically stuff paid for by people I don't like! +I thought some of the plot points and fights in the Ninja War were bad, but the series was thematically consistent as far as I remember. What thematic inconsistencies were there? +Yes. There are legitimate issues that men face that could be much more easily discussed if not for the raving band of lunatics that try to represent them. +Why Jordan Peterson? He has no expertise in this area and it is not his profession. [linebreak] [linebreak] Oh?

[linebreak] [linebreak] So later people thought the Jin and their Cao wei forebears were just shitty rulers, compared to the glorious Han and their shu han descendant. +While that pedo sub is still up +Liu bei was quoted as saying his something along the lines of wives and children and like armor but his brothers in arms were his arms and legs. He did swear an oath in the peach garden to two complete strangers at the time. They swore to unite China, and to die on the same day, same month, and same year. This actually didn't happen. With guan yu dying first, then zhang fei. I've played all the romance of the three kingdoms and dynasty warriors and briefly read romance. Liu bei's true problem as I saw it was that he didn't listen to his counsel from the smartest minds in China at that time( zhuge liang, pang tong) to name a few. He had every conceivable opportunity to unite China, his generals were some of the greatest talents in the land, many of his generals were said to be worth 1000 of men. (Guan yu, zhang fei, zhao yun, ma chao, huang Zhong) but he failed to follow through at crucial moments because how he would be seen by the people. Liu bei son A Dou or liu Chan was a completely useless emperor. He had no military experience due to him inheriting the empire during the three kingdoms deadlock( a time when wei, wu, and shy were already formed) so at the time no kingdoms risked massive battles because each kingdom was dug in defense wise. Liu Chan continues his father mistakes by not completely heeding zhuge liang and not sending the troops and supplies to him and Jiang wei. He wasted his empires wealth on nonsense( parties, temples, clothes, his wives) etc. +Wasn't this intentional? [linebreak] [linebreak] They designed the bill to give a small tax cut to the lower and middle class so they can be push the talking points and fool the American public (or at least sell it to their base) into thinking that the bill benefits them. [linebreak] [linebreak] But the scam is that the tax bill lowered the taxes for the wealthy elite and massive corporations in a much more skewed and beneficial way, effectively negating any benefit the lower and middle class would have seen had this bill been passed in good faith. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's a con. That's what people are upset about. Too many ignorant people being taken advantage of by liars and propagandists with malicious intent. [linebreak] [linebreak] Similar to the way the Republicans push the talking points about a potential universal health care system, "But taxes will go up!" they cry, while ignoring that people will pay less overall because of the redundancy of health insurance costs under such a system (obviously this debate would depend on the language of the legislation involved). +This 100%. more people need to know about the effects of having a completely external locus of control and its impact on retards on the Internet. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've seen people essentially arguing that having an external locus of control is the only way to be woke, it's insane. +To be fair the Mandate of Heaven theory doesn't leave much room for nuance or doubt; whether they inherited an impossible situation or created it for themselves, the fact that their dynasty collapsed so soon means that the Jin would inevitably have been looked upon unfavourably. And I mean they did have a princely civil war pretty soon after the reunification, so they can't have been great. [linebreak] [linebreak] Also is it you, Doodger? It's me, Sh*bboleth! Fancy seeing you here haha +I'm like 80% sure my dad felt that way about some of the animated movies I watched growing up. I know for a fact he knows every word of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", and he has said he wants to see the Lion King remake. I'm fairly certain he was into Shrek, too. [linebreak] [linebreak] Hell, there are some current animated movies that I know he loves. He's seen Coco multiple times and swears it's "too mature to really be a kid's movie". [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't see that as a bad thing at all, personally. I love animation. +Maybe he was dumb cause He got dropped as a baby +I completely agree lol, something was wrong with him. But then again liu bei didn't come from great stock himself, he's always portrayed in the games as weak and not very bright. The greatest family during this time period would easily be the sun family, they had plenty of capable leaders and were all very well versed in military affairs. Their main problems were their geographic location in the south east, they were sailors and the best at naval battles but were terrible at land battles in the north and never made much less way into the west where liu bei was since the territory was mountainous. +You have to be joking? 99% of every left meta reddit is honest to god complaining/crying at one point over 95% of every front page topic on r/politics or r/politicalhumour mentioned trump..

I don't know why you define a whole sub as incels and bigots because you saw a few that you didn't like and a few alt-righters there. [linebreak] [linebreak] Having been part of that sub for a few days and engaged with them, I can tell you most are just regular conservatives. [linebreak] [linebreak] Unless of course you meant to say "anyone who is remotely right is guilty of [insert ad hominem here]" which is the type of mentality most of the memes poked fun of. [linebreak] [linebreak] A minority of racist, sexist etc memes are no reason to quarantine a sub. +You live under the impression society is in someway fair, or an equal playing field. [linebreak] [linebreak] "socialists" (hint: they aren't socialists, you're just a dumb person) are aware the system is not fair, the playing field is not even, and want the government to force equality of opportunity. [linebreak] [linebreak] Not everyone is bootlicking the oligarchs such as yourself. "socialists" think the government should work for the people, not billionaires that have managed to capture politicians. [linebreak] [linebreak] There are things the government does better than the private sector. Education, healthcare, anti-poverty operations, infrastructure, etc etc. [linebreak] [linebreak] What they support is a capitalist economy with strong social safety nets. And overall, their system is superior to the one you want, on every level possible. [linebreak] [linebreak] Provably so. +Very correct, it's sad really. I much prefer the shu-Han generals.

Capturing a lost golden age. +I started wondering how he did all that as a baby, but I realized, he survived? +Lost histories, languages, knowledge's, and structures. These people do realize that the history, language, knowledge, and structures still for the most part exist, right? Especially if you're of African descent, you can just get on a plane. Any history, language, or knowledge that was lost has more to do with the fact that most of your ancestors kept no written language, not because of evil whitey. Should I be angry at the Romans and Italians for knowing very little about the ancient Germanic tribes and Celts, even though I would know more if my ancestors had created a written language? +If you tweet about people who care about a historic building going up in flames instead of talking about the issues you featured in said tweet, you're part of the imaginary problem +Umm, I though trans suicides was a good thing!

(((They))) used it to destroy Occupy Wall Street. This is why (((they))) push multikulti. (((They))) admit that (((they))) have a much easier time taking advantage of divided, heterogeneous societies rather than homogeneous societies. It is why (((they))) pushed feminism, civil rights, the homosexual agenda, etc. (((Their))) entire playbook is divide and conquer. Divide male and female, divide black and white, divide normal and abnormal. And always, always, always demand that the minority gets preferential treatment. After all, (((they))) are the permanent parasitic minority. +That's a rather small pool of people, however, there are plenty of indigenous women who suffer at the hands of Islam. The women indigenous to Europe have it pretty bad and the indigenous women in the middle east don't seem to be fairing much better. +Exactly! And it provided a convenient Neo-Confucian explanation for historians as well; see how this ruler got overthrown after his regime collapsed in famine and flood? Well, it's not that the Divinely Appointed Son Of Heaven got overthrown by rabble, oh no; the Mandate of Heaven was removed, and passed to the guy who ended up coming out on top, and the natural disasters which sparked the revolts in the first place were just signs that this transaction was happening. [linebreak] [linebreak] Really convenient how it tied up all the loose ends to keep people from questioning the system, huh? Almost like it was a quasi-theological theory made up to preserve Confucian influence through dynastic change +Not really. That deeply depends on your own time period and the point that you were looking back at. For example, Confucianism taught that the past was more civilised and virtuous than the present. The Roman Empire is still thought of as a peak of civilised society and a model for the modern world. In fact, the first time I can think of that people began to say that the past was barbaric was in the Renaissance. +I wish more trans people committed suicide +>Why a women have to risk her life for something she doesn't want?

[linebreak] [linebreak] He healed the sick and the lame, who had nowhere else to go. He didn't live in a world that had a needlessly, stupidly complex healthcare insurance system. [linebreak] [linebreak] He ordered His disciples to be prepared to give all they had and take up their crosses. He didn't say you can go home if following Him was too hard. [linebreak] [linebreak] **** [linebreak] He commanded His disciples to love one another. [linebreak] [linebreak] He said that the world would hate them for their virtue, as it had hated Him first. [linebreak] [linebreak] He also told his followers to *sin no more.* The Samaritan woman at the well *and* the woman caught in adultery were told to leave their sinful lifestyles. [linebreak] [linebreak] He did not say to subsidize sin. [linebreak] [linebreak] **** [linebreak] Edit: As aggravating as she is, Jesus died for AOC, just like He died for all of us. +a lot of them do say homosexuality is bad but the quran specifically tells you to kill them +Not all Syrians are muslim retard. +Yeah....

Almost every account of people taking power in most empires is a tale of ruthlessness even if their portrayals make them seem like gods walking on earth. [linebreak] [linebreak] Heck, look at Ashoka. He is regarded as a near-saintly figure in Buddhism, a champion of non-violence ideology of peace, and one of the greatest ever Emperors of India and the world in his time... [linebreak] [linebreak] ...who was also known for being an *extremely* bloodthirsty maniac who went on a mad rampage of bloodbath while crushing a peasant rebellion as a prince, executed a third of his family to secure the throne, killed every brother he had except one (who shared the same mother), burned people alive for slightest offenses, and launched a war that caused so many civilian deaths that one of the most raging tyrants of the age nearly lost his mind, turned 180 degrees and became a hardcore pacifist, conquered others only by scaring them into submission with polite military displays instead of wars, and later converted to Buddhism. [linebreak] [linebreak] There might be slight exaggeration from texts, but it is in the same vein as "Liu Bei threw the baby on the ground and cried hard because he nearly lost a great general and loyal friend for his sake". +The gun issue is not political?

Even if his political leanings could be proven one way or the other that still doesn't prove it was politically motivated; sounds to me like he's just salty he got canned.

[linebreak] Another way of doing it is to have someone under that stand who can pleasure your sexual organ in some way. Be that a hooker or your partner. [linebreak] Job interviews are much harder, cause you're under more surveillance than during a speech, but are still quite doable. All you have to do is pleasure yourself slower than you normally would and not look as much at your still stimulant as you would while talking to a crowd. And in case there isn't a person who looks hot enough for you to pleasure yourself, you should look for a different job. +I was all about Jolteon as a kid, mostly for the novelty of having an electric type that could learn various different attack types.

Delegation is an underrated skill. +I've never heard of "spastic" or "spaz" being considered offensive, that's a "no" from the Midwest at least. +Who would've thunk good stats, decent typing, and a great ability would make a pokemon good. +When I played pokemon I just pick the moves that seem coolest. I remember sitting with one of my friends and anytime his pokemon gained a new move he had to go to the internet to look at like 4-5 guides before choosing to take it or not and what to replace with it. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I've learned that I play pokemon terribly wrong. +Without STAB I'd go Fire Blast, Flamethrower suits much better for an actual Fire-type. +Shite speed has been the death of 90% of otherwise good pokemon, especially when steel isn't exactly a great offensive type and Metagross doesn't have good enough defensive stats, moves, or typing to be a proper wall. [linebreak] [linebreak] There's also the problem that just a lot of pokemon easily counter Metagross, most notably pokemon like Magnezone and even pokemon in the lower tiers like Drapion. [linebreak] [linebreak] Still a good pokemon just not great as it used to be. +I've only ever heard "spaz" used as a good-natured "that kid has too much energy but in a kinda amusing way". It's often not even meant as an insult at all and I had no idea it was considered offensive anywhere. +Regigigas even has balanced hackmons and almost any abilities to loom in. +>Saying something is retarded isn't insulting mental disabilities.

Everyone usually responded with "Why are you even watching it now if you aren't a toddler?" which would trigger him even more. +I haven't played competitively since Gen4, and that was a pretty fun time as long as you managed to avoid Garchomp. Nowadays I just play because I think they're neat and enjoy how relaxed the game makes me feel. +Some Pokémon will inevitably get left out, obviously. Like, you won't suddenly start using Unown even in the lowest tier. But you can use most Pokémon and that's very good. +Hewhewhew, now when they come here they'll see spoilers! That'll really ruin their day! Just some edgy faggots being fags +Steel no longer resists dark. Knock off base power boost and it's insane availability means that Metagross actually had weak typing now, who knew +Regigigas even sucks in Pokemon Go. +That's not true but if it was that was exactly what I said. +Leftists would hate Jesus just as much as they do now. +Laughed too hard at this.

If Pakistan is the part of India then we would be having Baloch separatists attacking Delhi or Mumbai. Not to mention the FATA, and millions of Rohingya's pouring into us.

They get screamed at for not representing the mentally ill. Then when they do, they get screamed at for representing the mentally ill. Then they fucking apologize. [linebreak] [linebreak] Like, why did you put yourself in the situation that you're going to have to apologize to the sharks for bleeding in their waters. Stop catering to the insane, and stop apologizing when you do and it still pisses off the people you are pandering to. +There's a difference between chasing the gay $ and pandering to SJWs. [linebreak] [linebreak] None of the gay people I know at all well are raging regressives although there are a few where I work who who certainly have the disease. +Is there such thing as a good faith argument regarding "tone"? +It's funny how his entire comment just gets destroyed by one link in response to it that isn't addressed at all. +Finneon would like to have a word +This is why you just ignore SJWs. You can never make them happy. +Idk, I get what you're saying, but even if that's what stunfisk is like, that means it has one issue compared to like twenty for Smogon forums. +Now this is the wholesome nerd drama I need more of.

Rereading it some years later it can become clear that everyone sucks, everyone is to some degree an amoral warlord whose public perception is dictated by PR, and the Three Kingdoms period was a total shitshow. Ultimately it is a biting criticism of dynastic power and politics. [linebreak] [linebreak] Really the Liu, Guan, Zheng triumvirate establishes very quickly on that 'Holdings/wives/innocent bystanders/scandals come and go but family is like an arm or leg, I could never punish my brother for this misguided error' is their collective get-out-free card for a lot of things, and the three are very adept at politically shadowboxing in a way that other figures like Cao Cao lack the very close relationships to manage. Liu Bei inspires loyalty like it's his superpower, but loyalty is ultimately a complex web of relationship in the political world over a simple virtue. +What counts as "queer" anyway? It used to mean "homosexual", but it now seems like an asymmetrical haircut and wearing doc martens is enough to be "queer". I'm half-joking but LGBTQ, the L is for "lesbian" and The is for "gay" so what is the q? If it means "homosexual" then isn't that covered by the L or the G? Also, why not get rid if the L and the G and replace with H for "homosexual"? It's just repeating the same thing otherwise isn't it? +Reminds me of the stone toss dog comic. +>MDE was dope as hell before world peace which is when all the jew-posting that happened after all the /pol/ fags that flooded in cuz sam linked the sub from his twitter when he started race-posting [linebreak] [linebreak] >nobody remembers the glory days. sad. [linebreak] [linebreak] Imagine pretending MDE was ever good. +I don't consider OP's words harsh at all - at least not in this post (not sure if you are aware of more of the conversation that I'm not). The part about the hypocrisy is true and dogpiling is also a huge problem in LGBT left leaning circles. While I certainly agree that it's a small but vocal group there is absolutely a pervasive rigidity about labels in the community. It's been that way as long as I've been a part of it and it's actually getting worse, not better. [linebreak] [linebreak] Everyone - allies included - have a right and a duty to be critical of the movements they support and these particular criticisms are pretty valid. Could they be put in a less emotional way? Sure. But what is venting for if not getting out emotions? +Capitalism is a term invented by people like Marx that we just accept as being the opposite of socialist theory. [linebreak] [linebreak] "Capitalism", in meaning free markets and free exchange of goods and labor, is the default status of human beings. It is literally the economics of human nature.

Not all fathers are good fathers. It would be a gross generalisation to claim that. [linebreak] [linebreak] Just as it's a gross generalisation by both authors that the majority of fathers have toxic masculinity, and that the majority of Trump voters are suffering from "male resentment and entitlement". [linebreak] [linebreak] Both authors have very little credibility to be frank. [linebreak] [linebreak] That having been said ... articles like this never acknowledge the good, they always zero in on what the author perceives as bad. They never seem to consider the father who (they claim) failed to do the things they are whining about had his own issues to deal with. [linebreak] [linebreak] Case in point: [linebreak] [linebreak] >Sexton, 37, grew up in Linton, a dirt-poor, factory-family town in southern Indiana, just southeast of Terre Haute.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Most likely working long hours, in a difficult job. [linebreak] [linebreak] Yet these regressives never acknowledge that in their haste to virtue signal.

Born in Atlanta, King is best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience, tactics his Christian beliefs and the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi helped inspire. [linebreak] [linebreak] King led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and in 1957 became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). [linebreak] [linebreak] *** [linebreak] [linebreak] **Civil rights movement** [linebreak] [linebreak] The civil rights movement (also known as the American civil rights movement and other terms) in the United States was a decades-long struggle with the goal of enforcing constitutional and legal rights for African Americans that other Americans already enjoyed. With roots that dated back to the Reconstruction era during the late 19th century, the movement achieved its largest legislative gains in the mid-1960s, after years of direct actions and grassroots protests that were organized from the mid-1950s until 1968. Encompassing strategies, various groups, and organized social movements to accomplish the goals of ending legalized racial segregation, disenfranchisement, and discrimination in the United States, the movement, using major nonviolent campaigns, eventually secured new recognition in federal law and federal protection for all Americans. [linebreak] [linebreak] After the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery in the 1860s, the Reconstruction Amendments to the United States Constitution granted emancipation and constitutional rights of citizenship to all African Americans, most of whom had recently been enslaved.

That's all it is. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you want to get rich, you need massive state industry to ensure the state is backed by assets of its own, as well as strict capital controls to keep the global elite from escaping your tax laws and continously moving capital out of the country to the global north. This is exactly what the IMF requires countries not to do in order to have access to credit, they always demand that virtually everything not nailed down be sold off, markets opened to foreigners, and all capital controls removed regardless of the fact that it leaves the country dangerously open to massive and disastrous flights of capital on the whims of the intensively bankers.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Of course the first response of liberal idiots after this is to seek to find a leftist scalp to make everything 'fair'. Literally a moment cannot pass without us being stabbed in the back by liberals so that they can do some moralistic both sides garbage. And afterwards the right just literally spits at them in the face, like it never once in history has satisfied the right. The appeasement doesn't make them any happier or more grateful to the idiot liberals, it just becomes another tool in their box they can use in their attempt to destroy humanity. And then of course they stick their nose down to their ass and sniff deeply and boast about how 'fair they were' when though they're 'a progressive too'. [linebreak] [linebreak] Do the idiot liberals care? No. Because they are fucking cucks incapable of anything. If there were five rightists and a billion liberals, the nation would inevitably become the successor to nazi Germany. Liberalism is the ideology of weakness, it knows no strategy but appeasement.

The foids would fawn over this guy for not only the surface level "niceness", but demonstrates he is not desperate for sex, implying he gets it so easily he is willing to sacrifice an obvious shacking situation for a friend.

terrible. I suppose that would hinge on your definition of terrible. At any rate, I happened upon an article. Ronda Rousey is helping set up a suicide prevention center or something. Something like that. As I read through the article, I came to learn that her father and grandfather committed suicide. [linebreak] [linebreak] I appreciate the kind thought and I don't believe you meant to get me going, but you got me going. [linebreak] [linebreak] How stupid do you think I am? Do you think I don't fucking realize how goddamn horrible suicide is? Do you think that I'm some naive apelike simpleton that needs to be sent to a mental hospital for therapy, medication and other costly 'treatments'? [linebreak] [linebreak] It's nice to know that you care about other suicidal people, but for me, I don't take too kindly to being told that I don't have the right to commit suicide. I don't take kindly to platitudes and appeals to my emotions when I am already fully cognizant of the horrors of suicide. [linebreak] [linebreak] Why is it that when I get to be a little too lonely and desperate, the *first* thing you're going to tell me is "Get help."? What do you think this help is going to give me that I haven't already experienced? It'll give me more goddamn bills and I'll get somebody on the phone asking me if I want to sign up for cognitive behavioral therapy. [linebreak] [linebreak] I know how to fight this. The reason that I'm sitting here typing this is all the proof I need. [linebreak] [linebreak] When I see these anti-suicide things, I just feel so irked. The only time you give a fuck about me is when I'm in a suicidal mindset. Beside that, I'm just a blank face. A mere statistic. [linebreak] [linebreak] Believe me. Seriously. Believe me. I'm not yanking your chain. I know how bad suicide is. You don't need to remind me of that. [linebreak] [linebreak] I can't stop you from trying to prevent suicide, but I can state my opinion and so, I have. [linebreak] [linebreak] +Don't get me wrong, I'm depressed all the time. Just went off my meds because they didn't work. [linebreak] Now I'm on vacation with my parents and it has some cool times, but i'm mostly just off. Tired, no energy, sad. [linebreak] [linebreak] Tried talking to girl my age here (I think she's my age) and she just seemed so uninterested in conversation I got somewhat offended. Haven't had sex in several years so I'm feeling very undesirable. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think my Mum's cheating. Or my dad is into cuckold. I hate both options. [linebreak] [linebreak] I swear, some days I just want to end it. It's not worth slogging through day by day by day and to get back home to feel the warm embrace of my shitty laptop. I lie to myself I don't need shit from anybody but I'm human. And humans need others. [linebreak] [linebreak] I realize I am the only one who can change ny life but I just CAN'T seem to do that. I've been doing therapy for years now with several therapists. [linebreak] Sometimes I just think some people aren't meant to live. +I used to cry all the time as a child and told adults how I used to be treated at home . They chalked it up to me being a sensitive kid and one teacher even went as far as calling me a cry baby in second grade and refusing to speak to me until she absolutely HAD TO. [linebreak] [linebreak] Home was hell, I was called useless , fat , dumb , and everything in between. I'm held back a year because they didn't bother putting me in school when I should have been and I'm just so pissed that I could be graduating THIS YEAR but I'm not! [linebreak] [linebreak] This past year I was kicked out of the house so I stayed with a friend. Two weeks in my friend's mom suggested I try to make bite the bullet and go home because "you've always been a sensitive kid" . Really ? Go back to an abusive place , because you perceive me as sensitive ??? [linebreak] [linebreak] There's a reason I cried almost every day. I don't anymore , because I'm not around them. Don't just brush off a child when they react negatively to something , real things might be happening to them but you wan to take the easy way out and label them as sensitive. I will never forget the teachers and parents who played dumb when it came to how my home like was. I will never forgive them either . +Im shaking my head here, but doesn't this seem like a no brainer? This guy just blurted out that number without any hesitation. "It's all I have but I will give it to you, please just have the abortion". [linebreak] [linebreak] She's not too keen on the idea, but she was leaning towards an abortion before he made the offer. She doesn't like the idea of taking life, but has 3 children already and with all the other health and emotional stress in her life as it is, it makes the most sense. [linebreak] [linebreak] As far as I'm concerned, my advice is to take the money and run. The abortion makes sense, and in the end is the best thing for her and her health. It's only 2-3 weeks into the pregnancy. I'm not nut's right? +That and, if reddit's community didn't use the downvote button as a disagree button, I wouldn't be writing this post. [linebreak] [linebreak] I do not like the current fad of releasing remakes and remasters of everything, especially in Nintendo consoles. Additionally, I am not a fan of Nintendo's practices of charging double the price for ports than you see on other consoles (Skyrim costs twice as much on the Switch than on the PS4/XBOX, the new Final Fantasy ports are apparently all at least 40€). [linebreak] [linebreak] I am certainly not the only person who thinks this, because it is not the first time I see threads and comments being showered with replies that can be summed up to 'shut up and accept it' and flurries of downvotes. [linebreak] [linebreak] Some of us do not need to relive our childhood, teenagehood or whatever with constant remakes or remasters. Some of us would like new original content or sequels. But since most people keep buying these, companies have realized they can have more profit with half the work by remaking, remastering and re-releasing these games with special edition instead of focusing on other, different projects. This is what gives us stuff like Pokémon Let's Go, which were considered very lackluster remakes with less effort put in them than the remakes that were released over ten years before and what also makes us buy games that are no more than beta versions, since DLC/complete versions come out the year later. [linebreak] [linebreak] I am not trying to attack eventual posters that identify with this mindset I am disagreeing with. There are remakes/remasters that are really good to introduce a new generation to a certain game (Pokémon Fire Red/Leaf Green, The 3DS Zelda remasters), but there is a growing trend of remakes/remasters/complete edtions that are basically just to profit as much as they can off one game without altering it much. And that is what some of us want to voice their disapproval over, but can't because the downvote brigade rains down on dissent. I had to unsubcribe from r/nintendoswitch because of this, the hivemind is just plain insufferable. +Periodic reminder that the moderators of /r/help engage in politically biased moderation practices and routinely permanently ban users even when they broke no rules whatsoever because they don't approve of their political or religious views [linebreak] [linebreak] While /r/help should, in theory, be a nonpartisan and nonpolitical subreddit, it is in fact run by leftist moderators who ban anyone who they consider a "bigot" (aka anyone who is even slightly right of them on the political spectrum). For example, if you post a question in /r/help asking how to remove the gay propaganda icon they force down your throat during gay pride month, they will instantly ban you despite the fact that there is nothing bigoted or rule breaking about asking that question and it is in fact a legitimate question [linebreak] [linebreak] Evidently, the moderators of /r/help are very strongly against anyone who they consider to be "unaccepting of LGBT people" - even if you're not actually unaccepting of them, but openly hate socially conservative/religious people and consider us "bigots" for following the tenets of our faith and asking how to remove content we find offensive from our Reddit page layout +Background: 21 years old, chubby, friendless, haven't kissed a girl or even held her hand yet. I feel like I've missed out on a lot of things I should've had experienced by now & that it's probably too late to catch up. [linebreak] [linebreak] Every day is as boring as the previous one. If someone was looking at me all day, all they would see would be some fat guy sitting in front of a gigantic screen with a poker face. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's sad, man. Every year I feel like it's too late to change, only to regret not having tried one year later. I wish I could go back in time and tell 17 years old me that no, it's not too late to get in shape, as you'll still wish to be ripped when you're 21. Or go back and tell 18 years old me that it is too early to give up any hopes of ever kissing a girl or having a social life. The list goes on. But sadly, I can't change my past. [linebreak] [linebreak] What's even more depressing is that it is pretty much entirely my fault. Yes, I do have overprotective parents, but I should have done something. If only I had told them to fuck off whenever they asked where I was going, with who, and that endless amount of questions they asked (and still ask) me every time I opened the door, my life could have been a lot more different. [linebreak] [linebreak] Nowadays, I often act against my own interests solely out of fear. For example: some weeks ago, I messaged a girl I had been texting for around a month (I don't know if I like her as a friend & it's just my mind playing tricks on me because of my inexperience or if I actually like her romantically) at around 3 am and since I didn't get an answer half an hour later I decided to pop some sleeping pills and head to bed. [linebreak] [linebreak] Right after waking up, I saw her reply. She answered 10 minutes after I knocked myself out. Said she was at some club and told me to drop by if I wanted. A few minutes later, she mentioned that she was going to the beach later if I wanted to go. And that she was leaving the town we both were at at a certain hour. [linebreak] [linebreak] What did I do? I saw the message an hour before she said she would leave (in the notification panel with my phone in flight mode so she wouldn't know I saw it) and answered an hour after she left with some crappy excuse as to why I couldn't answer earlier. Even though I really wanted to see her. [linebreak] [linebreak] My lack of social skills angers me. I know I would've done the exact same thing if I hadn't gone to bed before her reply. Why? Because I fear that my awkwardness would drive her away. Especially at a nightclub (only went three times to one, none of them were 'successful' nights at all). The beach was also a terrifying idea because in addition to having zero social skills, I'm not happy with my body at all. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's not that I'm an introvert. Socializing tends to make me happier and more energetic for the rest of the day. It kills me when I find something funny on the internet and I have no one to share it with. Or when I want to go to the movies or something and I have no one to go with. I dislike being by myself most of the time. I'd love to have a group of friends to go out and have fun with. Or even go on vacations with, like some do. But since I tend to bore people on one-on-one conversations and I usually get kind of ignored when in a group, it looks like an unattainable goal. And I'd love to go to nightclubs, but I don't have the social skills to really enjoy it. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've recently tried to lose weight again, successfully. Lost 6% bodyfat but I 'gave up' again two weeks ago. I'm struggling once again with the false belief that it's too late to improve. That the door has already closed. The same dumb questions arise: "Why would I want to be ripped at 22? Will I even be able to catch up with social skills? Will it even be worth it?". [linebreak] [linebreak] Any advice is welcome. +I just finished watching the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor" and I feel that the American people have disrespected Mr. Rogers as a whole. I am aware that not all of Reddit is America, but I'm primarily speaking about the American state, as its the only world view I have right now. [linebreak] [linebreak] Mr. Rogers taught us to love one another in spite of differences. The man so hated television that he changed it by himself through his program. I feel that we as the children who grew up on his show have failed him and his memory by dividing ourselves. America is so divided these days that people are faking hate crimes and it is believable to an extent. I think that we as his former audience need to remember the tolerance he preached. [linebreak] [linebreak] His message of Everyone is Special is often derided as being unrralistic as "if everyone is special then no one is." But that isnt what Everyone is Special means. It means that we are all deserving of anothers love for what makes us unique. Yes there are bad people out there. Im not denying that, but I think we all need to take a step back, and rather than fight over our differences, bond over our similarities. The world is a mess right now, and we as humans need to band together to fix it. +https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sf5UdA9JSw [linebreak] [linebreak] Posted a video from a crash in Karnataka claiming its a video of the Indian jet PAF shot down. [linebreak] [linebreak] In the video there's a man with a thick Kannad accent +I always find the groups of people who rant how sexuality and all is beautiful and people shouldn't be shamed for it (which honestly agree with to a certain extent lol) but when these people have others disagreeing with them or being spiteful in their view they jump to this whole you're a virgin that's why you're this way!!! Like does anyone else see the hypocrisy in it? I don't get how sex can be put on a positive pedestal but if someone doesn't feel comfortable to yet have sex it should be used as something to belittle them? +That' s right, I love everyone and each and everyone of you ...... +For those that never heard of the elias story made by him: [linebreak] https://www.reddit.com/r/quityourbullshit/comments/a6km1m/weve_been_duped_here_on_rquityourbullshit/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=creepyPMs&utm_content=t1_eib62qh [linebreak] [linebreak] He now posted something on r/creepypm's and made another fake convo for karma: https://old.reddit.com/r/creepyPMs/comments/azwu9j/will_you_accept_my_sex_invitation/ [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Here are old examples of him trying to farm karma: [linebreak] https://old.reddit.com/r/cringepics/comments/8iuc1i/i_cant_believe_people_like_this_exist/ [linebreak] [linebreak] https://old.reddit.com/r/cringepics/comments/8485kt/how_do_these_guys_even_get_my_info/ [linebreak] [linebreak] https://old.reddit.com/r/cringepics/comments/846oxq/at_least_he_was_polite_about_it/ [linebreak] [linebreak] EDIT: looks like he just removed it, don't worry though he will pull out another fake karma story out of his ass on probably another sub besides r/creepypms r/cringepics r/quityourbullshit +https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/b3y1wz/lil_doing_a_goofy_smile/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share +recommendations? +I wish I were kidding. I can't link names anymore because I don't want to get suspended for mentioning this user *again*, but I had a very high karma thread here removed by the Anti-Evil team that posted a PM conversation between me and [highest karma user] where he outed himself (jocularly or not) as a paid advertiser for companies, etc., and well... [linebreak] [linebreak] I got suspended for seven days for "Harassment". [linebreak] [linebreak] Today on the **sixth day** it was finally reversed via appeal. My appeal was simple. There is no harassment if someone messages **YOU** and never ONCE indicates in the messages that they wish to stop receiving messages. That very clearly means they WANT to keep talking to you. [linebreak] [linebreak] Not once did [highest karma user] *ever* indicate he didn't want to receive further messages from me! In fact, the last PM I had sent him was to never contact me again, which he somewhat complied with, well, until he had his cronies (the Reddit admins) falsely suspend me. [linebreak] [linebreak] Posting private messages (of which he was going to do anyway, evident by how he used it to rally brigades against me and many others) is a bit crass but **not** against the rules whatsoever. [linebreak] [linebreak] tl;dr: Do **NOT** talk to power users or anyone who may have an agenda against you. Reddit admins don't actually look at harassment reports---they just take them at face value and assume the report is true. An appeal will likely be listened to at some point if you're not being a tool within it and **have clear and concise proof that they not only initiated conversation but never said "stop talking to me" or anything to that effect**, but it'll be near the end of the suspension anyway. +Thread: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Cringetopia/comments/b9vo8w/creepy/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cringetopia/comments/b9vo8w/creepy/) [linebreak] [linebreak] Uncensored thread: [https://snew.notabug.io/r/Cringetopia/comments/b9vo8w/creepy/](https://snew.notabug.io/r/Cringetopia/comments/b9vo8w/creepy/) [linebreak] [linebreak] Background: this was a thread about the time the Powerpuff Girls featured a character based on one of their writers.

By soulmate I don't mean perfect, I mean like mostly compatible and wants the same things I want and there's this connection. I don't get why I haven't found him yet, it's annoying because my standards aren't like high (i don't care about looks or money or that stuff), it's more so i want his personality to be specific to mine.

[linebreak] [linebreak] In late January, my dad had a massive heart attack and almost died before his 50th birthday. He had 3 clogged arteries, 100%, 85% and another 70 ish %. My heart was so fucking crushed when I saw him the ICU, all pale, IVs sticking out every which way, and a giant feeding tube shoved down his throat. That week, was probably the worst week in my entire life. [linebreak] [linebreak] All in the months of May and June; my childhood dog died at 13, right before her birthday in July. [linebreak] [linebreak] I had to re-home my lizard because I am moving and she means literally so much to me. I fucking bawled even thinking about her leaving my home. Luckily she went to a good family friend, but it's like parting from my child for me. [linebreak] [linebreak] I got into a big fight with my old best friend and they said some really cruel and nasty things about me and I honestly don't know when that wound will heal for me. [linebreak] [linebreak] My therapist from since I was 2 years old, has cancer. It rapidly approached and in just a month she went from active and clear headed, to being at the point where she can no longer take care of herself and needs daily assistance. [linebreak] [linebreak] During this entire year, I think I've been abusing a substance, using it as a crutch. I want to get help, but I also don't want to necessarily stop altogether. [linebreak] [linebreak] So basically that was my year (so far). I have to admit, there have been some really wonderful things that have happened, but it's hard to enjoy them. I mean, this year will always be branded into my brain (The most being my father's near death experience).

It can be a good thing and a bad thing, and for people who are sensitive, for one, things might feel bad quicker than for others. But that doesn't mean that the pain they're suffering is less "bad" for them - as you said. Because that's how they perceive and feel it, so that's absolute reality for them, even if objectively the issue isn't as bad. They still have to live through it. They have to go through the exact pain someone less sensitive would have to go through because of an objectively worse issue. (Most?) People experience life subjectively. The limit to feeling a certain amount of pain for someone sensitive might be lower than for someone less sensitive. But it doesn't mean it's less real, it doesn't mean they're in need of less support and understanding and empathy. It's the same, felt, pain. Often, a sensitive person will feel happiness quicker and easier too. Does that mean they are, really, less happy than a less sensitive person?

[linebreak] [linebreak] Most of the post there devolve into arguments about nothing. +No one said "questioning the accuracy and reliability of animal testing based on the findings of over 20 scientific papers" makes you a "preachy vegan." What shows that you have an "ax" to grind is exactly what I pointed out: misconstruing the respondent's response to mean what you want it to mean instead of what it actually said and using emotionally charged rhetoric like "vivesectionist" to describe the respondent when you have no idea whether or not their work involves cutting animals. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think that was very plainly stated in my last post and you're being purposely obtuse so that you can redirect the conversation the way you would like it to go. Given your previous escapades into rhetorical chicanery it's not surprising, but you shouldn't expect anyone to take you seriously when you play dumb and pretend you really don't understand the responses you get. [linebreak] [linebreak] +Amazing how the Chicago media seems to actually have the skills to conduct journalism, unlike the national media. +That's a yikes from me. You've really fucked up if the Daily Beast isn't supporting your supposed oppression. +When the extra police work appears in the form of racist profiling then yeah, obviously +happens a lot more than people like to admit +Here's where I think the distinction lies - I may be wrong, and call me out if you want, but here goes: [linebreak] [linebreak] So, believe all victims is a good and noble idea at a basic level. When a victim of a crime comes forward, the people that they trust should absolutely support them, and help them get help and try to make it as easy as possible to get the police involved - not necessarily influence them to go to the authorities, but that's where crimes *should* go, for a number of reasons. [linebreak] [linebreak] This becomes a less tenable position when a) the justice system gets involved and b) when there are real world consequences for leveling an accusation. [linebreak] [linebreak] With the Jussie Smollett case, we see both of those in play. When the police investigation unfolded, they were able to put forth compelling evidence against his claim. The second set is more nuanced, but this is how I see it: His claims had a major effect to divide the country. Seeing these claims would have such an effect, it gives us good reason to scrutinize his story. When we scrutinize the story, we find some major holes (two maga people out after 2 in intensely cold weather, in Chicago, apparently knowing where Smollett was, and being prepared for that confrontation, his refusal to hand over his phone, he walked home and waited 40 minutes or so before calling the police) and we have a good reason to step back a bit from the narrative and wait for an investigation to conclude before deciding. [linebreak] [linebreak] In short, believe all victims is a good idea, but it becomes more nuanced when there are real consequences that may hurt or jail others, at which time we should scrutinize the story or let the professionals do their job. +It sounds good in theory, but it's a terrible idea when it comes to law. There are two sides to every story. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you think we should completely believe every rape victim, look up Ronald Cotton. That is a case where the victim THOUGHT she was telling the truth but her memory failed her. Evidence is so important, but to even suggest that nowadays causes outrage. +Some years ago Laci Greene made a video all about how important it is to trust the victim. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm still waiting for the many thousands of people who were brave enough to admit, in the comments, that Laci Greene had raped them to receive the attention and support they deserve. [linebreak] [linebreak] The **reality** is that **everyone** who goes into toxic-overdrive (and it IS toxic) when accusations are leveled only do so because it panders to their biases. [linebreak] [linebreak] Now that Smollett has been charged I can say that there was nothing **remotely** credible about his claims. It was possible that what he said had happened, but extremely unlikely. [linebreak] [linebreak] Anyone who immediately believed him was, at best, a credulous fool. And at worst they were bigoted pieces of shit who just loved the opportunity to spread more hate. +Honestly, that's less of a problem right now, IMO, as destruction of a person's reputation through the media right now. Which I think is where the second point I tried, clumsily as I did, to make. +Nah it's definitely his blog lmao. +IIRC, those were based on the number not proven false. +Which means it's at MOST 98% and 91% respectively. +And OP is Swedish? +I was accosted walking down the road yesterday.

[linebreak] [linebreak] PM me for paypal details if you want to give me money. +Believe all victims is good, but we must recognize that once a false accusation against someone is made, they become the victim. And when there are multiple people claiming to be victims to each other, no legal punishments should apply before it's certain what happened. +Burqa doesn't agree. +Quint,Scroll,The Wire broke out from NDTV after NDTV took some damage by regularly targeting the PM.

The funny thing about the whole incident was that A LOT of older posters and the mods liked, and did not disagree, with my post. But, they claimed that there were MANY who didn't and after months of being told I was an awesome mod, they were suddenly changing the rules and trying to MAKE drama out of a post where I essentially said, "act like an adult and understand that people disagree now and then." Ironic, no? As far as everything else goes, I was offered the chance to stay on as a mod...but, with no posting power. I chose to leave because it made no sense that a post that didn't break the TOS and was well received by the majority of the community would earn a punishment. When certain forum members started sharing details that should've remained within the four mods...I bounced because it was clear that information was being shared with non-mods, but friends of mods. In fact, I was happy to stay quiet and allow bygones to be bygones until I noted that the person who created the most drama was running her mouth in other places trying to bad mouth me. Whatever ,it's reddit, but there's not enough time in the day to dedicate yourself to silencing someone because you want to be snarkier than everyone else. I wish that forum nothing but good things and I'm disappointed it went down the way it did. +You're welcome. Honestly, the other mods WERE fine with the post and said so via written language. It didn't get taken down until an older mod, who'd frankly never said much at all to me before that day, perceived some of the old guard getting upset and feeling that I was out of line for suggesting that, as adults, we should be grown up enough to block those we don't want to read and stop nitpicking on EACH OTHER. The forum was for Duggar snark...not to rate the level of snark that is permissible from others. That message was received, by some, as pot stirring. I still wish everyone well. +The same reason SRD exists. There's something delightful about watching a trainwreck in progress. +What a mess! Sigh...I liked some things about the sub but I think I just need to unsubscribe. Too much drama and turmoil, lol. It sounds like you made the right decision by bowing out. +a trivial exercise +Nice to meet you too. You never got anything from me because I don't run the sub. I handed it over early on. I was talking about the original mods. I'm a member like everyone else since then. I put my opinion on your post. I did think at that point the post was overkill because the other sub had been made already.

It's ridiculous. Not saying stuff like that doesn't happen, but the story hit *all* the notes. +I commented there about politicians calling people to violence and harassment, proceeded to be banned for "trolling" despite no such behavior. In fact, we were having a decent discussion until the tyrannical mods came along. +With that reasoning is there then ever a logical reason to do anything? If life is just suffering and not worth living, shouldn't we all just kill ourselves? +That's one possible interpretation you could take. You could also argue that doing so would be even worse than dying of natural causes, thus it would make sense to never procreate but also not make sense for some sort of universal drinking of the kool-aid to occur. +Sauce? +The Left: Facebook's Fake News and Russian shillbots stole the election from Hillary!!

Inshallah. +Good handwriting. +Sorry to hear you're struggling with this! Yeah I need to practice the phone thing. I feel guilt for even doing that. +Honestly, you absolutely have heard logical reasons for having kids,.unless you've never listened to other people speak. Disagreeing with the logic is fine and a defensible position, but it's still on some level logical. [linebreak] [linebreak] For instance, the good outweighs the bad with regards to living. There is logic in that statement, even though it runs directly counter to yours, and it is a reason for having kids. +Think you may have missed the point of Bohemian Rhapsody a bit +Ok to be honest, we don't know your life. But you don't know everyone elses, and even if your personal experience justifies never wanting to have existed, that doesn't apply to every other living being. +Similar here, I was raised in a big family except I was the youngest. Nothing about it makes me want to have children. I understand that some people had terrific family lives where their parents taught them all kinds of interpersonal skills and were nurturing, etc... but that was far from my experience and I don't have those things internalized to pass on. I've gotten very good with my cat though, as a middle aged man and I'm nurturing to her, but she's far less demanding than a child or children and I can afford her much more easily. [linebreak] [linebreak] I dated a lot previously and grew a lot as a person and had some peak experiences but had a lot of bad experiences with women who had hidden agendas, issues with dishonesty, cheating, gaslighting, etc... so I gave it up and now focus on my job, friends and hobbies and I'm more consistently happy than I've ever been in my life overall. +[Parcel is the actual expression though](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/part_and_parcel) +As a fellow Gorillaz fan, I salute you. +This was so well put. Whenever I say that emotional availability in parenting should been an expectation, not an exception, I get weird looks. Just because you provide food, shelter, clothing, etc, does not make you a "good" parent. I am eternally grateful that my parents provided for me, especially since some people have to grow up not having those things, but I sure as hell would've dodged a lot of emotional pain and trauma if I could've confided in my parents without backlash. +I'm not the of poster.

Hello there. +the wokest thing about HOI4 is that paradox decided to not write in events for the various atrocities the axis nations were doing, because they were afraid of the people who buy their games to recreate the holocaust, but left in the various (although significantly lesser in scope) allied atrocities, leading to a game where the axis are less morally gray than the allies +Cause there is none. [linebreak] [linebreak] Paticulalry not in todays hellworld. Idk how you can possibly bring a kid in this world when shit like global warming will fuck us all over in incredibly painful ways. +Yes, but the vast majority of people do not in fact want to die in a nuclear holocaust, so how can you justify killing them. +For me as a guide, y'all can see me now cause you don't see with your eye you perceive with your mind +There is no death without life, or life without death. [linebreak] [linebreak] It perpetuates the cycle of life. [linebreak] [linebreak] If the horror of death is the absence of life, then doesn't that viewpoint automatically bow to the value of life? [linebreak] [linebreak] You contradict yourself. Rethink your nutty worldview. +Imagine thinking there are still good humans in 2019. Please lol +Haha, if you can't recognize nuance or weigh different factors to come to a conclusion you are literally incapable of reason or logic. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you are alive, you can enjoy a delicious slice of pizza. Therefore by your logic, I have found one reason to exist, ergo the only possible conclusion is that you should have children. [linebreak] [linebreak] In reality, the challenges or bad parts of life do not outweigh the good. Either way, you have provided no valid or reasonable arguments addressing that. +But everything natural is evil. Nature is the source of mortality, of death. Nature is an endless charnel house of decay, a mountain of corpses. Biology tricks us into perpetuating the cycle with dopamine and serotonin. [linebreak] [linebreak] We need to rise above it, either by becoming transhumanists who exist in robot bodies or as disembodied brains, which won't happen, or using our intellect to destroy nature and the human species. [linebreak] [linebreak] Perusing sex, good food, etc is just giving into the death urge. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm not an incel, I've had sex and relationships. But it's just... meat interacting with other meat. +I've seen every therapist in my city. I'm seeing 4 right now. Nothing will make me okay with my mortality. +Since when is a nuanced component of a single religion "non-arguable fact"? [linebreak] [linebreak] Pick a different religion if you're unhappy with your own. Not that you understand Buddhism because the conclusions of Buddhist beliefs are vastly different from yours. +The Axis were less morally grey than the Allies. They were almost pure evil +Keep trying, there's hope. Maybe stick with one at a time. [linebreak] [linebreak] I personally am very conscious of my mortality, I understand that I will die - sooner, later, usually far more suddenly than you'd expect. I don't drive because of near death experiences driving, I'm cautious of stairs because those motherfuckers are out to get you, I've had life threatening illnesses, people close to me who have died etc. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm very aware of my coming end, and yet find peace with it and live my life regardless. Others do as well. You're not alone in recognizing mortality, why do you think it's impossible to find peace with it? +But most will +Creating more life is perpetuating the cycle of death. You're creating a being doomed to die. Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death calls that an 'immortality icon'. It won't save you [linebreak] [linebreak] And none of that stuff is meaningful. 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my work, ye mighty, and despair' etc [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't wanna achieve immortality through my work. I wanna achieve immortality through not dying - woody Allen +You're literally creating a being who's going to die. That's murder +I think you just take pleasure in perpetuating your fatalistic spiral here. [linebreak] [linebreak] That's fine, do what floats your boat, just don't advocate genocide or suicide in the process. Don't pretend like you can't fathom or accept that others would want to live their lives a different way. +My friends dont get this. Most of them came from lower middle class families and I'm upper middle class with a college fund, my parents planned ahead and I'm lucky. But they act like my life has been a fucking cake walk because the hardest thing they ever faced was student loans. I can literally count on my hands the number of times my parents have said they loved me and like they all have very loving families. +You don't even need the correction for this to be Grade A tumblr stupidity. The context does make it sweeter though. +Yay Duggar drama. +>They will also have fun and live [linebreak] > [linebreak] >Something doesn't have to be 100 percent all good to be worthwhile [linebreak] [linebreak] Which would mean NOT creating as much life as possible would be immoral. Not saying that's what I think, it's just not a good counterargument imho. [linebreak] [linebreak] Personally I'm fine going with having the axiom "having humans exist is good" as a "counterargument" to anti-natalism. +Global warming and the revival of facsism. +I ain't happy I'm feeling glad +Small things like asking them about their day and listening to what they have to say without judgement build trust and a healthy relationship. +Well, technically, some people don't consider it a science, because it doesn't use the scientific method. It's more of an extension of logic. Science never proves anything, while math does it all the time. +i dont understand +Accountants, auditors and registered nurses aren't exactly what one would consider STEM. +They're closely linked, but different. +Nobody with a right mind should care about '[JOB/FIELD] is dominated by men'. It has nothing to with gender, it's about the he performance of the individuals. If a man does it better than a woman it's obvious to go for the man, if a women does it better pick the woman. Not that hard +At the end"har har modi". +Disagree. Sorry, not a nurse so I hope I'm not civillian splaining here but... [linebreak] You have to learn a lot of biology and other sciences to do it, and learn to use a lot of Technology. Everyone who has a degree to work in allied healthcare, even if what they actually do is mostly physical, has to at least make use of science, technology, and math. It just doesn't require the higher level of understanding that being a doctor does. But I think to say nursing isn't a science is to discredit it. They have done experiments and they have academic journals, there's a lot of science in things like making sure germs don't spread from patient to patient. All the practical stuff nurses think is "common sense" is on a foundation of science. Like germ theory. +And what about Noodle? She's not white. It's like the most diverse band there is +Except ugly, poor, boring, and toxic people get laid all the time. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] We really need to stop shaming virgins and sluts. Doing so makes one an piece of shit. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin, and there is nothing sacred about it either. Same with not being a virgin, or sleeping with a lot of people.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the definition, dominated is relative to having power than quantity. What if a lab is staffed by 20 men and one woman? You'd think it'd be male dominated, right? But what if that one woman is the lead tech and direct supervisor to all the men? Is it still a male dominated lab? +There could be a higher purpose. Certainly there is societal purpose, but I'm not sure about much. But I respect your opinion. +True. But from a logical view, a virgin is incompetent to attract a mate which is why they are a virgin.

Ugly and awkward people get laid all the time ffs. [linebreak] [linebreak] The issue is shaming people for sexual items that are of no consequence. Shame someone because they have a sex life by calling them sluts, or calling those without sex lives basement dwelling virgins, is still shaming people about their sexual situation and is only what fucking shitheads and morons still do.

If I'm gonna throw money at a Marvel movie this spring it's going to be End Game +Okay, okay, okay. [linebreak] [linebreak] • First of all, the backlash about Captain Marvel doesn't stem from the fact that's it's a first MCU movie with a female protagonist. It comes from the fact that MCU literally shoved that narrative down everyone's throats because *everyone needs to be 10.000% aware that it's a WOMAN AND WOMEN ARE STRONG AND WOMEN FIGHTERS ARE POWERFUL AND GOOD AS MEN!* They campaigned the shit out of that narrative, and Brie Larson's virtue signalling commentary shortly before release did not help. It's not the movie that's the problem, it's the PR campaign that butchered the narrative of a female hero protagonist, and when the negative reviews started coming out, they censored them, because God forbid anyone has genuine criticism about the movie. [linebreak] [linebreak] • Second of all, did you forget about other female superhero or general female hero movies, or comics, or books?

Dysphoria can be defined in a non medical way. Such as "the condition of feeling one's emotional and psychological identity as male or female to be opposite to one's biological sex." it's weird that such an intersectional definition comes (besides the fact that it ignores nonbinaries) is from the racist and sexist Google dictionary that says sexism can apply to men and racism can apply to white people. [linebreak] [linebreak] 2. Dysphoria is the will to be the opposite gender and transgender is the will to be the opposite gender. You might notice that it is the same thing. It is like calling the size of paper a "non-ledger tabloid" (don't get me started about paper sizes) [linebreak] [linebreak] 3. It makes dysphoria meaningless. Thousands of people are dysphoric and suffer from it. Even the broad dysphoria definition proposed ontop can cause psychological problems. Why make the word meaningless? [linebreak] [linebreak] 4. (mostly a counter to point 6) most transphobic people's argument is "you gender is unrelated to how you feel". The word Dysphoria helps people understand that it is a quantifiable studied phenomenon. What do you think will generate more transphobia, saying gender is a feeling or saying gender is a mental state. [linebreak] [linebreak] 5. I don't believe in cultural appropriation but I assume the Tumblr person does. So is non dysphoric transgenderism not appropriated transgenderism? +>The suit also states that Heard's abuse allegations "have been conclusively refuted by two separate responding police officers, a litany of neutral third-party witnesses, and 87 newly obtained surveillance camera videos."

I mean if you really have 87 separate surveillance videos corroborating your story that's not something you lie about. +I demand trial by combat +After seeing the video of him drunk/high and at least verbally abusing her I'm not ready to write off her claims. But I'm also giving him the benefit of the doubt about his claims until it gets a thorough investigation itself. If what he's claiming about all his evidence is true that should clear things up as soon as it officially comes out rather than just potential claims. [linebreak] [linebreak] When the claims are this serious everybody deserves to have their story thoroughly investigated. +Elon was "consoling" her while she was married to Depp. +It's certainly an interesting perspective... I know several people who are trans and the opinion seems to be a bit split; some of them think you aren't trans if you don't have dysphoria, others believe you can be neutral as your assigned gender and happy as your new one which means you don't need dysphoria per se. [linebreak] I think a lot of the conflicts on this issue come from what someone encompasses when referring to "gender dysphoria". +Because then, he would have no ability to prove he wasn't the abuser. +Because abusers are really good at controlling their victims.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Ive noticed a strong trend in a lot of comedic movies, especially when surrounding sex. Multiple movies will have a scene where the man is put into a scenario where he doesnt want sex or to be touched, but the woman will persist to the point where it is 100% rape, but the way the scene is set, it makes you believe its comedic. But switch the roles where a woman is not wanting the sexual advances and then the audience gasps and feel disturbed. And its completely the fault of the writers. Continuing a trend where its comedic when a man doesnt want it. [linebreak] [linebreak] Thats not to say that there isnt comedic value in a "get me the fuck outta here, this isnt what i signed up for" type of scene. But the manner in which the scenes provoke sex, and then masked with comedy, starts a problem. [linebreak] [linebreak] Im just happy to see that others have noticed this kind of thing in movies. +That's kind of horrible, because each case should be treated as something horrible that shouldn't have happened at all.

Then there was a post that hit the top that was just a selfie of an overweight dude that said he was planning to buy a gym membership. [linebreak] [linebreak] Devoid of any context this photos aren't interesting in the least. Voters seem to prefer these uninteresting backstory posts while people who actively comment do not.

Of course it's rational to think that some random dude debunked decades and centuries of science with the sheer power of his mind" [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I mean assuming the dude was fairly rational at some point he had to have taken some classes in these fields right? So did he just assume that because he didn't have to study to get a B- in Gen Ed sociology that he debunked the field? Did he ask leading questions trying to "prove" their professor didn't know what they were talking about and was shut down and that's why he thinks he debunked *entire fields*? Did he just never ask any questions and assume that he was smarter? Why did he "study" so many fields? Why just these social science? Is he smart enough to debunk all these but economics and history are valid? What are the differences between the ones he liked and the ones he doesn't? *How* would he study 8+ fields well enough that he felt he has a basic grasp of it let alone enough knowledge to again *completely debunk centuries worth of research* just because he felt like it.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] That was easy. +I like how you miss the point. A black conservative isn't a token by default. T hats stupid. I would probably say that Ben Carson or Clarence Thomas aren't token black conservatives because they don't make it their number one thing. [linebreak] [linebreak] Wow. You just lost the bet. It's like how Blair White isn't a token trans conservative. She is just a conservative who happens to be trans. There is a difference. If I go around flaunting myself as a gay conservative as like this amazing thing that I'm gay, and a conservative, that's me being a token.

But I get what OP is saying because every once in a while I like to go through my post history (I think I'm fuckin hilarious lmao, I can read something I've posted a couple weeks ago and still think I'm funny hahahaha) but when I see a post that I took a long time to write that is buried in a thread with just my own upvote, or in threads where the OP hasn't replied to anyone, or to many people but not me, stuff like that, I get kinda bummed out. [linebreak] [linebreak] On the other hand I love seeing the inbox button lit up and it turning out to be a thoughtful comment that makes me think a reply through so it balances out, but if reddit was just people who don't reply I'd bother a lot less and end up deleting before sending much more often than I do now (and I do it quite often) +I think you need to think about your audience when you're making those comments, instead of taking it personally. [linebreak] [linebreak] In a subreddit about anxiety, maybe they are too anxious to respond. Maybe they are busy fighting with anxiety and don't want to type out a long response to you. Maybe they read your post, appreciated it, and then the thought of getting help overwhelmed them. Maybe they never saw it at all because they panicked and logged out after posting. [linebreak] [linebreak] In a subreddit about depression, maybe they are too depressed to respond. Maybe they are busy fighting depression. Maybe they appreciated your post, but can't gather the energy/motivation to type a response to it. Maybe they feel they've already wasted enough of your time. [linebreak] [linebreak] In a confession subreddit (or one like this one), people aren't necessarily posting for your input. Maybe they just need to write it down and get it out there. Sometimes a person doesn't want advice in that case, so replying saying "thanks for the advice!" feels fake. Maybe they completely disagree with everything you've said and don't want to be petty and be like "Thanks but nothing you said is right and you're not helping at all". Or, maybe they read and appreciate the advice, but they don't think thanking everyone who gives unsolicited advice is a good idea. [linebreak] [linebreak] All of those are subreddit-specific reasons, but there's also reasons like... maybe they got a lot of responses and don't want to reply 20 times saying "Thanks!". Maybe your comment is identical to 5 other people and they've already explained/answered your questions elsewhere and don't want to do it again. Maybe they intend to reply, but get interrupted and forget. Maybe they don't see replying to random reddit people as a priority. [linebreak] [linebreak] In short, it's probably not personal. Just relax. No one is an asshole just because they don't thank you for your advice. Your advice should be like a gift - they don't owe you anything in return, and if they do, it's not really a gift. +It's not about you. Whom ever you are responding to doesn't have an obligation to respond to your response. Try not being so self absorbed. You said yourself these posts are serious & someone's in a bad place. JFC, they didn't make a post to comfort you. +This is too far +If you're looking for a response you are replying for the wrong reason +If you're offering advice to people just to get recognition that you're doing a good deed, you're in the wrong. They have no obligation to respond to you, whether it's a simple thank you or something more in depth. Leaving a well thought out response on a serious topic is a thankless act. You should be doing it purely out of consideration for OP. [linebreak] [linebreak] Should we get pissed at you for not responding to all of our comments on your post u/Sandman1025?... ^((noooooooooo)) +You're still not providing any proof that this image led to your temp suspension. +I don't post any violent content that would warrant a whole reddit suspension. I've had my other alt account permanently banned for posting the NZ vid, so I know to be careful with the admins and their sensitive feelings +That is a legitimate point that I get because I also deal with anxiety. Mine has nothing to do with commenting online though so I guess I did not think that could be an issue for some people. Thank you. +If I can find the flavors I'll post that too +Lol. You got downvoted now too. I don't care about fake Internet points but the herd mentality always cracks me up. +So whiny +I mean, I'm not entirely sure that's the point. The targs are all sorts of Jacked up, I mean even Dany is some sort of somewhat benevolent murder monster. Jon got dem strong stark genes and managed to kick the crazy for the most part... and just inherited the "I'm such a good guy I'm too dumb to understand reality syndrome" [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] but I think GUUUUUUUUUUURM might have a think for it, that and... really really describing feasts. +Obviously, Reddit user names aren't generally a useful way to judge people, but this is one of those exceptions where I fucking know exactly who this guy is just from the fact that he calls himself "RationalHumanist." +I get that and I probably should've been more clear in my post. Sometimes it's clear someone is just venting or getting some things off their chest. I usually comment more on the ones that ask for advice or where I really relate to the situation they are in. +I have responded to the lengthier, well thought out comments . Because I appreciate the feedback, even if it is negative. And for the 50th time, I don't respond seeking validation or recognition but I think it is a common courtesy to thank someone for their input when you are seeking advice. +Danny isn't really "mad" though in the sense of the Mad King and Geoffry. She's more of a product of her enviroment. She understands that if you show any weakness there will always be those to exploit that. [linebreak] [linebreak] John Snow is just the lawful stupid paladin +I hope that I am. That's why I continue to write them. Especially on posts that have not gotten much love in the way of responses. I don't bother responding on post with 20+ comments as that person has already gotten tons of advice. +Dude dinosaurs lmao +I see that you are new to the Internet. +You responded before I finished my edit about power imbalances. I imagine they definitely come hand in hand with a lot of incestuous relationships, but like, power imbalances are a thing in *a ton* of non-incestuous relationships as well. I think it's hard to say that it's a problem that is particular to incest between relatives of similar ages. [linebreak] [linebreak] > Inbreeding is more harmful as a practice than the individual instances. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think that's fair, but that seems like more of a pragmatic argument to put prohibitions on it than a moral argument against its practice. It seems to me like at the end of the day the issue is still that by having sex two relatives increase the risk of health problems in future generations. This effect is compounded by successive generations of incest in a way that could be *especially* harmful, but idk it seems to me like if you're going to argue that incest on the whole is immoral that need to apply to individual instances and not just multigenerational practices. [linebreak] [linebreak] > Though on a related note: This movie is hilariously bad. [linebreak] [linebreak] Can you imagine what it must have felt like to be Gary Oldman, standing on your knees while getting ready to do a scene with Peter Dinklage? Like, just cast Peter Dinklage as the lead, his French accent is pitiful anyways! +>Same thing goes for power dynamics and grooming. These are problems independent of incest, and ones aren't inherent if you're talking about similarly aged cousins or siblings. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't see your point. Both implications of this view sound correct to me. Yes, it means incest is not wrong in and of itself, but only as a side-effect of being a power imbalance, and it means relatives who grew up sufficiently apart that they don't have a family power dynamic is morally fine. You seem to treat those like they count against this reasoning but I don't see why. +Yeah, I've always been of the opinion that if they're consenting adults, I genuinely couldn't give a fuck what they do in the bedroom. +I felt like that too, but my friend always tell me: "I found my soulmate, and now I feel trapped." +>You won't believe what he said about Arun Jaitley Click here!)

From what I've read inbreeding really mostly a problem under certain circumstances. Such as either long term inbreeding (Hapsburgs represent) or when both parents carry some kind of recessive trait that would be harmful but could be tested for. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't think there's actually all that much risk for a single instance of inbreeding. Two cousins having a baby isn't going to spontaneously result in lobster-claws. [linebreak] [linebreak] But I could be wrong, I just did some quick googling again and didn't come up with anything that makes it seem like you are guaranteed to have a water-baby or something. +Indeed. Dogs were the REAL villains all along! /s +If the issues with interbreeding was such an issue we would have so many more problems in the Middle East and such because cousin marriages over there aren't that unusual (which as an Arab living in the USA was weird until i read it's like a 2% or something increase in birth defects for cousin marriages) and mostly a result of the arranged marriages stuff. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's almost always when you have siblings or parent-child and that's more of a risk of recessive traits being amplified. It's the successive and repeated incest that usually is what causes major problems. Cousin marriages only increase the chances of birth defects from 2%-3% to 6%-7% [linebreak] [linebreak] The focus on birth defects usually are mislead and unfortunately changes the discussion from "these marriages are bad because of power dynamic" to "its bad to the child's health" which tends to ignore basic genetics and biology and weakens the argument.

Do they think a man isn't a mammal because he doesn't produce milk for young? +>FALSE: "Period." is not a sentence. It's called grammar: learn it, and people might take you seriously. [linebreak] [linebreak] Dwight shrute with the zinger response. +Wonderful I don't like any of these people. +I live in Utah, where the polygamy a couple generations ago has created some interesting population dynamics. You had these huge families where everyone was related to at least one person, and that's ended up inescapably propagating down the line because most people are still living and marrying in the same part of the state their ancestors were. It's also why the LDS church keeps a huge geneology database - back when it was established they were trying to figure out who was related to who. [linebreak] [linebreak] Anecdotally my brother married a distant cousin without realizing it (their kids are fine fortunately), and I've got some other cousins who are having a lot of children with cleft palates and hip dysplasia problems, and I suspect they're probably related on some level as well. 2-3% increase in birth defects doesn't seem like it's so bad until you see it happening to people you know and you see the pain and the costs. [linebreak] [linebreak] That said, they have every right to keep having kids as is the mormon wont, and they'll just keep paying for the surgeries on infants. I suppose it's similar for other people who find they're both at an increased risk for deformity even without the ancestral relations.

He was fairly well liked once, his madness grew gradually with age. +and he's not even right. a single word statement can still technically be a sentence as long as it has subject and predicate, and words can be both because the English language is a fucking mess. +But what if he wakes up in the morning, with a prolapsed anal fissure, and a massive hangover, and a hundred texts from his bf saying "Where are you? PLS reply." and then says its pingrape? +Maybe you can't. That's the thing. You can't make anyone happy. That's something they need to discover on their own. They might be able to travel that path while still being in a relationship with you, and they might not be able to. Trust yourself and determine what you can handle. [linebreak] [linebreak] Meanwhile, and whatever you decide, try being assertive without being aggressive when it comes to talking with her about how you are feeling. Try to take the emotion out of it, while also being compassionate to her needs (she has them, too, and if you care about her, it's best to take those needs into consideration). [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I only learned these valuable lessons after the fact. It hurt like a son-of-a-bitch and to be honest, I'm not keen to go through a relationship like that again. But what I can tell you is that I should have been more insistent that we talk. And if that talk wasn't productive to making me feel valued, I would have asked her to leave. This is something you should consider as well.

I don't care if you get a raise because I'm busy trying to get one for myself +The literal slogan for the left is "resist" not even any direction just fight everything and anything. +You don't even get the scam right. The scam was that Trump and the republicans did away with tax breaks that were a direct benefit to well-off blue state residents ***after*** cutting taxes across the board. That way their red state supporters see the benefit of the tax cut, but blue state residents start getting pissed because they can no longer deduct the ridiculously high state taxes they pay. That leads to happy red state supporters that show up at the polls for the GOP in the next election. That also leads to a lot of people in blue states asking why their taxes are so much higher than the taxes in the neighboring red states, which does not play out well for democrats. [linebreak] [linebreak] The real fun is going to start when Trump does the 2.0 version of this tax "reform" and starts sending illegals to sanctuary cities/states. The red state people will cheer, the blue state people who advocated for unchecked immigration will turn on their representatives as soon as their NIMBY senses activate. +Not when trump supporters like the message +lmao this might be my favorite reddit canard, by outside of america, you mean a select few countries in western europe and even then its dubious +Only 44 pct of people don't pay federal income tax.

The media doesn't actually care about trans people, it just cares that they can spin it either into a sob story or something about how trans people are wrong in the head depending on the political views of the outlet. [linebreak] [linebreak] Plus, transgender people *are* a high-risk population for suicide, so it makes sense that there's special attention for how to reduce transgender suicide rates from charities/academia. Higher risks require greater research and resources to reduce than lower risks, so I think it makes sense that high-risk populations are given special attention. ~~Except when they're not, because the NHS denies many transgender people any sort of support outside of GICs, and since GIC waiting lists are often 2+ years long that means the NHS it means people experiencing problems such as suicidal ideation as a result of dysphoria receive no help for 2 years.~~ That said, we definitely need to do a lot more to reduce suicide rates of everyone, because not enough is being done for anyone. +There is nothing wrong with people not sharing your views.

Like the people joking about English teachers reaching for meanings/symbols are probably in primary education themselves. [linebreak] [linebreak] I mean English teachers usually choose books with heavy use of symbols to *teach* symbolism. Most students are just too dense to get it until they are lead by the hand. [linebreak] [linebreak] It might also explain why so many people on Reddit don't get the concept of Dog-whistles. The idea that words or symbols can mean more than what's written or seen is something they simply don't have the education to grasp. +[https://i.imgur.com/ctuBWkW.png](https://i.imgur.com/ctuBWkW.png) +I have almost posted that exact detail many times but figured it was too obvious.

Like, they wanted to believe that Tolkien didn't even accidentally happen to describe the orcs as industrious or that the bad humans tend to be brown. These people absolutely exist. Same type who think their opinions aren't political, but others' views with whom they disagree with are. +Also, don't forget, FEMA are the bad guys.

Ticket sales have a lower profit margin (from a purchase v sales perspective) but a much higher volume wrt total revenue [linebreak] [linebreak] The problem is so many other factors are not accounted for, not the least of which a large theater chain having a lot to gain from inflating profits from ticket sales.

Once someone believes that something is a reference or has a deeper meaning, it's really hard to prove them wrong, even if they don't have any evidence or compelling reason. I'd like to think the burden of proof is on the people trying to prove a connection, but from my experience, it's almost always my burden to try to disprove even the flimsiest connections.

[linebreak] [linebreak] It's just that you could've gotten the same from a dozen other self-help books that don't come packaged with all the *other* Jordan Peterson stuff. Likewise TRP. Being confident and forward is great, and a shitton of self-help dudes will tell you that. Without adding that you should be confident because otherwise hypergamy will cause her hamster-wheel to spin, prompting a shit-test against which you won't maintain frame, and now she's cucking you because AWALT and you should've maintained dread. +Cool, go tell them that on posts that you find hateful. +bc metallica hi pata hai inko par master of puppets pata nahi hota hai. +Yep. But I had no trouble as I speak the local language. Profs used to fap seeing me. It's a great place, just way too over populated. +When I was in 6th grade, people were into Metallica almost exclusively. And guns and roses. +Metallica sucks megadeth's thrash metal arse +If you're not a lady or a gentleman, what are you? +>Clearly you haven't listened to much metal [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm not claiming I have. All I'm saying is that in rock, you have songs as different as Edge of desire, Bohemian Rhapsody, Cocaine, 21 Guns, Take it easy and Papercut all being classified as rock songs. Do you really have that kind of variety in metal? [linebreak] [linebreak] However, if you think that isn't the case, I'm perfectly willing to hear your reasoning. +Probably just chasing what they perceived to be their demographic. +Its just glitter bud +And she's at least engaging! Show you take a joke, take it as an opportunity to start a real conversation, and you have a good chance here. +Go support Maduro or something. +Lovely professional University +This. Everyone else has the problem, not them +I get what you meant. It's just stupid since each conversation has a bunch of different variables that change the context of the conversation. It's not comparable. +Seriously?? +Ah, I see it now. I read it as each image being seperate, might of been how the person read it. +Khaleesi is literally a skyrim character +Slow down, mama.

But Na it's easier just to scream racism and try to get paid for doing nothing. +I've never seen one. [linebreak] [linebreak] She still hasn't. That rope has a HUGE loop, looks more like a bowling, and hangs to inches off the floor. Might be useful as a work tool, would be shit for hanging though. +Also the swipes are not intended to be a rating on a scale of attractiveness. It's "I'm interested in chatting with you" and "I'm not interested in chatting with you". +Sounds like she's the victim of a lifetime of bad choices. +That is incredibly accurate. Damn. +>works in a factory [linebreak] [linebreak] Worked in a factory. She's been told not to come back. +Right. They just threw that statement out there with no citations. They're not fear mongering at all. +I feel for you, I haven't been to LA in 30 years, but to hear dr drew and Adam carolla talk about it it's in bad shape.

[linebreak] [linebreak] You guys completely missed the point of the post because of one stupid sentence at the end. +It doesn't matter. You're deliberately misrepresenting what somebody said in order to demean them and treat them like shit. +I really hope Pornhub buys that site. +Well, my wife does have a Pikachu figure that looks like he's throwing the Nazi salute. +Hottest take to ever exist +The Alabama Men is a way better toy +What has the Pokemon company been using Pikachu to tell people? [linebreak] [linebreak] Like...I'm curious what this person thinks Pikachu is even brainwashing people into. +Yeah, but as long as you drink that kool-aid, they're *very* flexible. It's just really one belief. The barrier to entry is still low. +If pornhub buys Tumblr, it would probably implode +Wasn't there like a whole South Park episode about this? +Thought I was the only one. I'm hunting the comments to see if anyone deciphered it. +So...you posted Pepe to /r/antifastonetoss. +No, but you see, Pikachu is a Pokemon, right? And the Nazis killed lots of people, and because of my friendless childhood, you get it, right? +oh boy i remember that episode where pikachu and friends invaded poland, very memorable! +I sometimes wonder what kind of special idiot do you need to be to to think that Pikachu is Nazi? Lol [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I still don't like Pikachu because I love Raichu more (esp the Alola variant), but that doesnt mean that Pikachu is a Nazi +... sounds like their resentment is completely justified +You sayin' that Arnold (yes, Governator Arnold) is a hateful bigot? +Even with that as the case, it's still the same benefit. [linebreak] [linebreak] Even if it's about "reverse the power dynamic", there's no better way to reverse the dynamic than using them as your attack dogs, promising "well, if you do this for me, maybe I'll do THIS for YOU" in exchange. [linebreak] [linebreak] You'd think people this dedicated to social movements would know the first thing about "carrot and stick mentality". +This is why Verizon couldn't make money off of Tumblr. [linebreak] [linebreak] The faster it shuts down the better. A gaggle of self-righteous assholes. +Same. At first I thought I just misread it, but then I still had no clue the second time I read it.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I'm a piece of shit. +Your story is actually quite interesting, though I'm not really sure why. I think it's because I'm a total sucker for bittersweetness. [linebreak] [linebreak] Happy it all worked out for you, my dude. +Holy shit, this is one of the fakest things ive ever seen. Are redditors that gullible? +Dude was fired like a year ago by this company and then supposedly received this on insta.

[linebreak] [linebreak] All around outstanding employee there fellas. +about 500.

When was the last fringe left meme that anyone cared about? +Regardless of your political affiliation, there is no denying that the right literally meme'd their way into the White House. +The Left and the Right create crappy memes when they're too political +Wouldn't that be cultural appropriation? +I don't recall ever being offended here. +The right wing memes successfully elected Donald Trump.

[linebreak] [linebreak] For example, our language has become much more violent, even if people are actually less violent. There was a time when communists and fascists used violent words and were actually violent. There were racists that did actually lynched people. [linebreak] [linebreak] Now a lot of people talk like them but they don't mean it.

[linebreak] [linebreak] "... Do you know how English works?" +Establishing and maintaing a business is a difficult and arduous task, that requires massive dedication and a large investment of time, money and effort. Start-up business owners can't just lay back and do meaningless paperwork while the profits roll in; they have to work their arses off to get their businesses off the ground. [linebreak] [linebreak] If a business becomes successful, and they can begin to afford to hire someone else to do some of the work, then they have earned the right to own their "means of production". But even the owners of large businesses often still have to work hard to ensure that their business does not collapse. The fact that they are no longer physically labouring is irrelevant; it is a job that requires skill, experience and dedication- and one that most people are unable to fill. [linebreak] [linebreak] The customer of the business pays money to the business owner to receive the desired product, and the worker receives a certain amount of money to operate the means of production that the business owner has worked to obtain. Any profit that the business owner gains is his payment for the work that he has put in. +Then say "the patriarchy is trash" +Anon was not on the ball. +She's trying to hit the grievance lottery +HAHAHAHA zing! oh man that was so good dude. +That sub is pure shit that ate itself and shit again. +The ones we fill with people we've dragged from their homes in Guatemala and Honduras. +How do other nations allow them to carry out protest rallies like this?

The guy who did it noticed that the english translations of the romance were pretty dry and long winding so he decided to tell the story himself. He adds tons of infos that aren't in the book (historical context, supplemental episodes on famous characters and lifestyles, etc) and he's really entertaining.

He asked Liu Bei if he would spare Lu Bu. Lu Bu, a skilled warrior, would have become a problem for Liu Bei in the future so he convinced Cao Cao to kill him... completely disregarding the fact that Lu Bu had saved him before.

It's really that easy to control what you see on the forum. It's taking responsibility of what you want to see. The reality is that, if someone isn't getting any responses, they'll eventually leave and you don't even have to know they were there in the first place. I think it gets toxic when OTHER PEOPLE think they should be able to control those they do not agree with...instead of just muting them. I hate bananas. I don't buy them.

[linebreak] [linebreak] A few years ago I met a girl, we'll call her Margo, who was amazing in a million ways. She was musical, beautiful, kind, funny, intelligent, and she was not my wife. [linebreak] [linebreak] While my marriage was on the rocks at the time, and my wife wasn't around very much, we were still married. It was a very dark time for me, but Margo was like a massive light that enveloped me and reminded me of who I was. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think it's worth mentioning that Margo and I never slept together, however we absolutely developed real, and deep feelings for each other. [linebreak] [linebreak] Anyway, eventually my wife finds out I've been connecting with Margo, and is (rightfully) furious. There were a few tear filled nights, and some very hard conversations, but in the end, we decided to work things out. I unceremoniously, (and with much difficulty and hesitation) ended contact with Margo. I still feel horrible about how this all happened because she really was an amazing person who didn't deserve any of the drama I brought upon her. [linebreak] [linebreak] So, my wife and I work things out, and things are better than they've ever been between us. We re-found the love we had somehow lost, and are stronger because of everything that happened. That being said, there was still always a part of me that was just.... empty and regretful. Not because of how things turned out but because of the way they happened. I was also worried about Margo, because for a long time I was her sounding board, and now, I couldn't help her. [linebreak] [linebreak] Tonight I randomly decided to google Margo, and there was a video of her singing a brand new song, and parts of it were too specific to not be about what happened between us, but it gave me closure that everything is alright now. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's late and I'm tired but happy. Even though this is a throwaway account I'm hoping this post just gets buried in the "New" pile. This was more for me than anything, because I don't really have anyone to talk to about this stuff, and posting it here feels like talking about it.

So, I missed the build up. But, I came back to find a mod queue with almost 100 reports needing attention. I went through about forty of them and noted they were all leg humping related and user-on-user drama...so, I quickly typed up that post telling people how they could be their own superhero and mute people that pissed them off. In my opinion and experience, we were pretty hands off and used to only get involved if the report was blatantly in violation of the rules. Because, frankly, the rules were pretty subjective. Personally, I only ever removed six comments in my tenure as mod. Most of the time, I just wrote a quick note to the person who was reported and the reporter to say "hey, guys...as a reminder, please...fill in the blank". That worked for months!

[linebreak] [linebreak] It comes from selective understanding. Both of those points aren't necessarily contradictory depending on just how you're viewing them and how you're making those points. [linebreak] [linebreak] The idea of Piracy not being a lost sale comes from the idea that a number of people who pirate games would not buy it in the first place, and would only play it if they can pirate it. Think teenagers without their own spending money, or people trying out a game because they *can* without paying, but wouldn't bother trying it if they had to pay for it. The idea of it potentially helping comes from these same people enjoying the game and recommending it to other people, who in turn actually pay for the game. Along with some of the people who pirate it enjoying it to the point where they want to support the devs. [linebreak] [linebreak] Where this comes to potentially hurting the developers, well, the important phrase in the last paragraph is "a number of people". As we can see from these threads, the people who wouldn't buy it anyway aren't all of the people who pirate. They may not even be a large portion at all. For example, the people in this thread saying or implying they'll pirate it would otherwise buy the game if it was on Steam. They're doing it to stick it to the man in their eyes, because they *are* lost sales. And they're using the fact they don't want to support the Epic Games Store as a moral excuse. [linebreak] [linebreak] Essentially, they are valid points, assuming the "lost sale" defense is based in reality which I can't comment on. But a lot of these people just want any moral excuse to pirate games and will use whatever feels the most convenient. Instead of just pirating and accepting it's wrong to do, but they don't care. +Conservatives and fascists kill people.

[linebreak] [linebreak] and the fact you're actively trying to keep people away leads me to suspect you might not be all that honest in your intentions anyways. not even just the indoctrination. but I feel like this person is probably scared to have a non"feminist" or at least people from outside their typical social circle because they probably have something to hide and the police should look into this. because the author already comes across as severly mentally ill and I don't think a child should be left in the care of a single "feminist" mother with an agenda whos probably suffering from serious issues. +I've seen quite a few gay people in this sub. +Thread about Jared Kushner on r/TheMueller: "Can we bring back public hangings for treason thx" [+142] +>critiques [linebreak] [linebreak] Ah yes, that fire is poor.

Suicide prevention is usually guilt tripping, utterly meaningless cliches, crystal ball gazing, or trite answers to problems just making it painfully obvious that they don't understand or empathize at all. They think suicidal people are completely stupid or irrational or whiny little bitches.

I was out of shape and miserable all the time. I was stuck in a downward spiral of self pity and loathing and it only made my condition worse. [linebreak] [linebreak] Something clicked a couple months ago. I think i realized what i was doing- i had pushed away so many loving individuals while gaining weight and playing too many videogames. I figured that the only person who could help me get out of this loop was myself. I decided i would eat better, go to the gym, and reconnect with those i pushed away. [linebreak] [linebreak] Back to the pull up- with the help of some buddies i started exercising regularly. When i started, i absolutely hated it. But i kept going to the gym every day, and got stronger and stronger which led to today, i was finally able to do 2 full range of motion pull ups without any kind of resistance band or kip up! [linebreak] [linebreak] Im really proud of myself for this. Im still a chubby dude (5 foot 8 in, 165 lbs), but its so cool to see myself improve. Just a couple months ago, i was a fat stereotypical asian gamer lookin dude. But a couple days ago, i got complimented on my new (albeit chunky) muscle definition, and goddamn it feels good! [linebreak] [linebreak] Its not like ive eliminated all my flaws. I still stress eat and sleep too little. I still occasionally try too hard to be the funniest person in the room, and project myself onto others. But its baby steps, ya feel? Slowly but surely, im improving myself! [linebreak] [linebreak] Its just a fucking pull up but it really means so much more to me. It really feels like ive succeeded at something for the first time in forever. Its the first step towards feeling happy, and normal. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Sorry if this is braggadocious, im just really proud of how far ive come! :) [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] P.S. if anyone has any tips on eating clean then please help me out!

Since the Morrill Act (1862, 1890) public universities are meant to represent the people and demographics that they serve.

[linebreak] There is someone for everyone. [linebreak] It's not like you're contiguous. [linebreak] [linebreak] Just shut up and listen. It's not that simple. It's never that simple. [linebreak] [linebreak] Dating the sick girl means committing to non-commitment. Plans will be ruined, or more likely cancelled. Travel is rare or just completely out of the question. Dating the sick girl means put a ton of blood, sweat and tears into someone who might not even have a future. It means a lot of days sitting alone on the couch while she naps in the bedroom. It means being taken care of, even though it feels silly, because she understands how fragile the human body can be and she doesn't want to lose you. Because you mean everything to her. [linebreak] [linebreak] And she's not a passing fancy, or a charity case. She doesn't want your pity. She is not interested in a fleeting romance. So much of her life is fleeting, over before it starts. She's only interested in a solid lasting connection, it's something that is so very precious to her because the concrete often feels so out of reach for someone who lives with what she does. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's hard. It's not easy. It's not always fun. [linebreak] [linebreak] And I know what you're thinking: [linebreak] [linebreak] No relationship is perfect. [linebreak] All relationships have problems. [linebreak] [linebreak] Shut the fuck up because those problems are pretty fucking small in comparison to what comes with dating a sick girl. You don't get it unless you've lived through it. But even then you don't fucking get it because you're not her. You don't feel what she feels. You don't see all of her pain because she hides it from you, because she cares about you and wants to protect YOU. [linebreak] [linebreak] And you can't protect her, and it's devastating. You can't protect her, and it makes you feel weak and useless. It starts to eat at you deep down, and it festers there until you can't take it anymore and then you do what seemed unimaginable. [linebreak] [linebreak] You leave her. [linebreak] [linebreak] And her heart breaks as it has every time before. She feels abandoned, alone and lost. She lost her rock. And it kills her inside, because she gets why you left, but she is also so angry because you don't fucking get it. [linebreak] [linebreak] All she needed was for you to be her rock. [linebreak] Solid. [linebreak] Concrete. [linebreak] [linebreak] And now she's left again with no one to lean on. [linebreak] [linebreak] Because no one wants to date the sick girl.

[linebreak] [linebreak] And more important than the very impressive pictures are things like [this](https://science.sciencemag.org/content/351/6268/62) ... the detection of a very rare event indeed, a black hole ejecting a jet as a result of the passage near it by a star.

[linebreak] [linebreak] It's a touchy subject but if you don't make the distinction you can't put the blame where it really belongs. Psychos are psycho.

[linebreak] [linebreak] As for the bullied shooters. [linebreak] *Did anyone ever think they went too far with their bullying before their classmate pulled a gun?* [linebreak] Did the school staff notice ? Or did they let him / her fall through the cracks into a void of misery and depression? Did anyone even bother to make the effort to reach out to them ? [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm just tired of this hindsight is 20/20 bullshit. Bullied shooters can be prevented if we all stopped being assholes to each other. +they did that? Since when?

What difference would it make if they were light brown or dark brown? [linebreak] [linebreak] I'd agree with thos argument if they literally made them white, but the skin tone is still correct. I'm so sorry that artists have different styles. If you're displeased with how a character was drawn by someone, literally nothing is stopping your from drawing it yourself in the way you like it. [linebreak] [linebreak] Like, I don't get why people feel the need to police other people's art. If you want vanta black PoC, fucking draw it. If you want it to look like the official work, go play Overwatch or read the official comics. One person posting their own pastel-style rendering of the characters doesn't change the fact that the characters have an established model. [linebreak] [linebreak] Overwatch is probably the most diverse game on the market and it literally is never enough for these people.

About 5 months ago after spreading myself incredibly thin trying to solve everyone else's problems in my clan, I meet someone who seems to just click with me. [linebreak] [linebreak] No name but a letter. Anime pic. Everything should have told me this is a catfish. [linebreak] [linebreak] But I was so fucking lonely. [linebreak] [linebreak] It comes to be this person happens to be extremely rich on Runescape, and offered to give me 20 bonds for gold premier. [linebreak] [linebreak] The catch? I had to give them the 7 bonds I had already, because "It'll be a better gift if I give you all 20!" [linebreak] [linebreak] Of course I do so without thinking. [linebreak] [linebreak] Trade complete. [linebreak] [linebreak] B has left the clan. B has logged off. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm just sitting there staring at those words on my screen. [linebreak] [linebreak] This must be a prank, right? No one would do that, be nice to someone then backstab them as soon as they get something, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] 10 minutes pass. I haven't moved. One of my friends PM's me "Why are you on that world?" [linebreak] [linebreak] All I could manage to say was "I don't know." [linebreak] [linebreak] I'd just gotten scammed because I was thinking with my dick. [linebreak] [linebreak] I can't show my face to my clan anymore. They'll never let me live it down. I can't handle that. I'm supposed to be the clan mediator who helps everyone resolve issues. Not the completely broken mask that it actually is. [linebreak] [linebreak] So I left. Never logged in again. On anything. Totally off the grid save my job. [linebreak] [linebreak] A month goes by. My phone blares notifications at me... "Naive we miss you." "Naive, hope you're okay." "Naive what happened?" "Naive we're really worried." [linebreak] [linebreak] Lies. All lies. [linebreak] [linebreak] About a month and a half ago, I finally summon the energy to go to the doctor. I just tell her right out I'm depressed. She prescribes me 200mg Bupropion, twice daily. [linebreak] [linebreak] So now I'm on medication for depression. Doesn't feel like anything. [linebreak] [linebreak] Until 3 weeks ago. [linebreak] [linebreak] All of a sudden, I'm a completely different man. Garulous, entertaining, genuinely fun to talk to. Came back to my clan ecstatic. Things are looking good for once. [linebreak] [linebreak] Except when you didn't agree with me. [linebreak] [linebreak] Then I was the absolute hugest asshole in existence. Because how DARE someone try to harsh my happiness? [linebreak] [linebreak] So I treat them like I would any other asshole. I mocked them. I poked fun at all the words they say. And when they inevitably fight back, I get underhanded. Start slinging shit that was told to me in confidence. [linebreak] [linebreak] Of course they respond in kind. And then I played the victim. Dissected their words and arguments, completely contradicting myself at times just to win the argument. [linebreak] [linebreak] Oh I won the arguments. But now the entire clan hates me. They don't even acknowledge me when I speak in the clan. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've become *that* guy. The one you have to tip toe around on eggshells because he might snap and bite your head off. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've become the crazy one. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm not fixed. Sure I'm no longer depressed. [linebreak] [linebreak] But I've never felt more isolated than I do in this very moment. [linebreak] [linebreak] They just wrote me off. I can't blame them. No one wants to deal with someone whose perception of reality is this fucked. [linebreak] [linebreak] No one wants to hear out why I'm saying the things I say. No one is acknowledging that I said I need another break from Discord. No one cares. [linebreak] [linebreak] So I left. Again. [linebreak] [linebreak] I shouldn't be around people. I'm trash. Filth. The worst kind of asshole, the one that *has* to be right. [linebreak] [linebreak] Don't end up like me. If you were depressed and now feel almost insanely good, see your doctor.

Sometimes, you just gotta get these feelings out to someone. Even if it's anonymous strangers on the internet, you just gotta get it out. Writing it in a journal doesn't work because there's this desperate feeling for someone to know that you're suffering, while also such an intense shame and guilt about it that you can't tell your family or friends. So /r/offmychest gets a post. [linebreak] [linebreak] At least in my experience, advice or sympathy don't really help and just make me feel worse. I feel the need to argue against it and say "well I've tried that and it didn't work" or shit like that, but feel like such a dick arguing against wellmeaning people that I just don't respond and end up deleting the post a few hours later anyway. [linebreak] [linebreak] So just don't take it personally. A lot of times folks (or at least me) don't have an outlet and will spew their guts out to the internet because it's better than keeping it in. We aren't looking for advice or sympathy, there's just a depression/anxiety demon whispering in your ear and it often gets so loud that you just need to uncork your feelings to relieve a little pressure.

That is to say concessions greatly boost profits, but without licenses for movies you wouldn't be able to sell concessions either. That doesn't even go into the fact that you have to pay more in employee salaries, maintenance and rent, supplies to support concessions sales. +Still google gets Indian head [linebreak] How incapable white supremacists cuckold are and will be can be easily seen there +Ok crackhead +Much like most insanity, there's a point beyond this.

[linebreak] [linebreak] But her stance inevitably follows from her early work! As far as I understand it, the foundational principles of radical feminism are that males and females have no innate psychological differences, gender is entirely a social construct, and must be abolished to end female oppression. Which is clearly incompatible with the belief that transwomen have female brains that compel them to express female gender roles, and if deprived of that they (and most cis people probably) will become unhappy to the point of attempting suicide. [linebreak] [linebreak] Every time a liberal feminist repeats that gender is a social construct with no biological basis, they affirm that part of the ideology and they only manage to avoid the conclusion by purposefully not thinking it through. +Thought this sub was going to be about the movie *Us* +I take a half step right, you do the same, we are on equal footing, life is great.

[linebreak] [linebreak] For example, the Romans wrote that several Germanic tribes wore untanned animal skins, lived in stick-huts and didn't practice agriculture. Actual anthropology suggests that the Germanic peoples were only a little less advanced/wealthy than the Celtic peoples to the west and south, and the Celtic peoples were themselves far from the "barbarians" the Romans (and Greeks!) portrayed them as. +I've had to manage the H1B visa application process for an employee.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Recently I've only managed to last a few weeks in roles before quitting. The work dread just becomes too much. I do always think to myself I can find a job I can deal with but I cant. Even the low down jobs are very demanding and I can't keep up with the pace. I am on the verge of losing my current job as I keep getting told off and they are complaining I take too long to complete work which is costing them money.

[linebreak] [linebreak] It can't be escaped, so why spend all of the time you do have free from death thinking about it, fearing it? You don't change anything. You only waste the time you do have on the most meaningless topic. [linebreak] [linebreak] Does knowing the eggs in your fridge will inevitably go bad stop you from baking a cake with them while they're still fresh? No, because cake is delicious and depriving yourself of cake because you know the ingredients have a time limit is nonsensical. Similarly, does knowing the eggs will inevitably go bad stop you from putting them in the fridge so you can extend the time in which you can use them? No. [linebreak] [linebreak] Likewise, knowing there is a time limit to your life shouldn't stop you from living it. Nor does it make it nonsensical to try to extend it, it's just that at some point you might as well bake the cake, because the end is inevitable. +McDoubles only on the first date tho. +It's also like... so apparently Pikachu alone is portrayed this way and every other Pokémon is shown to be ready to betray you at the next turn?

(WRIC) — A Chesterfield family spoke with 8News Friday after fending off a naked intruder who broke into their home on South Twilight Lane the night before. The intruder claimed to be the devil and attacked the family, prompting the homeowner to fire 39 rounds. [linebreak] [linebreak] The incident was a traumatic experience for the Lewis family's first night in their brand new home. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] "She was in to kill us," Melissa Lewis said. "That was her almighty, to kill us. She attacked us and I held her down just kept on punching her and punching her as hard as I possibly could." [linebreak] [linebreak] The Lewis' dream home now looks like a war zone, with blood soaked into the carpet, the walls and windows riddled with bullets and shell casings scattered all over. [linebreak] [linebreak] "I said 'who are you?" Lewis' husband, who did not wish to go on camera, explained. "She said 'I need your help, please help me.' I said 'get out of my house,' and she goes 'I'm the devil.'" [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] The homeowner says the woman, who had a blue ponytail, broke into the basement around 10:30 p.m. on July 4. The family said she was laughing menacingly and refused to leave. [linebreak] [linebreak] "She looked possessed, her eyes were completely black, like saucers, and she was laughing like it was a joke," Lewis's husband told 8News. [linebreak] [linebreak] Fearing for his life, the father of three grabbed his pistol and gave a verbal warning to the woman. With his family sleeping upstairs, he opened fire hoping to scare her off. None of the shots struck the suspect. [linebreak] [linebreak] Lewis said the woman aggressively charged at him with superhuman strength. [linebreak] [linebreak] "She was not stopping," he said. "She had the strength of four grown men." [linebreak] [linebreak] When he ran out of bullets, Lewis began throwing furniture at her. His wife and children eventually jumped in and attempted to stop the woman. The intruder didn't stop until one of the children, the Lewis' 12-year-old son Logan, shoved a wrench into her neck. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Police arrested the intruder and she is being treated and evaluated at the hospital. The Lewis family left with bruises and bite marks. [linebreak] [linebreak] "I'm scared to go in there, I won't even go into any room by myself, I'm terrified," M. Lewis said. [linebreak] [linebreak] Detectives told the family that the suspect lives nearby and will eventually be charged robbery, breaking and entering and attempted murder. She is currently in the ICU with severe head trauma. +These people's obsession with race will never cease to amaze +if we put them in prison it will only make them want to rape even more.

As a result I've missed my best friends birthday to earn money instead. [linebreak] [linebreak] Truthfully I couldn't afford to go out and celebrate her birthday for two days in a row but I feel terrible about it to the point I want to cry.

Whether it be a pear, banana, apple, hourglass or etc. Fashion designers make different styles that cater to different body types. Its ridiculous when people get upset when an outfit doesn't look good on them, when its not for their body type to begin with. Embracing their body type is the best way to figure out what makes them look beautiful. Like wearing a size 4 when they're really a size 14. Not only do they make themselves look bad but it gives them a harder/very uncomfortable time forcing themselves in spanx and corsets. Do yourself a favor and wear clothes that work for you, don't wear it just bc its what so and so wore or its what society wants. Everyone is beautiful or handsome in their own unique ways.

At least in my understanding, that is more for people who have math majors specifically, the types who are working out complex theories, using proofs and such, stuff that makes most of us go "wat?" and very little algebra and arithmetic.

You assume that humanity is uniform and that is not true. It would take further analysis of the information to compare cultures, demographics, and other factors. Beyond that, it being true in the US is enough. I presume the "75% of doctors" was for the US as well? [linebreak] [linebreak] > My mother is a doctor, yet she still managed to have two children. [linebreak] [linebreak] Your mother is an incredible woman. She is very rare. The OBGYN that delivered most of my kids was pregnant twice when my wife was. Yet there is a fallacy in pointing to her. Everyone knows that the world would be better with more women like her. Yet making it easier to accomplish what she did doesn't make more women like her, it just lowers the bar. It's like pointing to a remarkable immigrant to justify more immigration. It neglects the way selection works. [linebreak] [linebreak] > huge daycare costs and minimal maternal and no paternal leave. I think improving the childcare system in this country would help a lot more women be able to be both a parent and a doctor. Can we at least agree on that? [linebreak] [linebreak] No. It would be better for women to stay home and raise their own children. There is no need for half of doctors to be women. That is just a silly, pointless objective. Instead, we should just focus on relaxing the regulations that make cost of living high. The only reason daycare is expensive in some places is that there are absurd levels of regulation. Every time a child gets hurt, the state rushes in to impose laws to ensure it never happens again. That might sound nice, and that's why it happens, but another way of stating that series of events is outlawing low cost child care. Instead, we should let the market offer a variety of products and let parents choose. Daycare has low startup costs and therefore can be very competitive. There are already plenty of incentives to provide safe care without the intervention of regulators who don't pay the costs they impose. The same goes for vehicles, homes, medicine, and many other products/services. People should be allowed to choose the quality of product that they want or offer. [linebreak] [linebreak] Trying to impose what you want with government is always an inefficient method. This is especially true for a pointless thing like forcing women into the workforce. We do not need more government, we need less feminism. +Don't forget the BBC she enjoys taking on the reg +Please don't make cringey songs or poems. +Our open borders policies are letting them freely participate in our lolcow accepting upvote policies.

I remember one post where they were shitting themselves over someone tagging usernames and harassing them...when they do the exact same thing daily. +I'm not sure if this is actually a thing or not but I'm going to break down each of memorable highs. [linebreak] [linebreak] First time getting high: Grade 10, at lunch time. I couldnt walk, couldnt stand, barely could speak and sat in the woods for little over 4hours. I was generally afraid for my life and was listening to christian music thinking I was going to die. Finally some chick came over and helped me get home which I fellasleep and felt super exhausted when I woke up. [linebreak] [linebreak] Second big high: Smoked with a lot of friends and played Fortnite, generally felt pretty good. I could only focus on one thing however, but when I focused on it I felt like I could really understand it. We were listening to music and I felt my ears could feel the beat in them (Like the Trap Nation logo in their videos but in my ears). If I rubbed my arms I could feel that same feeling over and over again even though I stopped doing it. Felt like my heart was pumping very fast and I was biting down hard on my teeth. I came to the conclusion that what I'm feeling is from the high, almost like a lucid high (??) Like I was awareness what I was feeling was from a high and I could control my high because I control my brain. If I opened my mouth I could still feel the feeling of my clenching my jaw, if I stopped putting my hand over my heart I could still feel my heart pounding. I could stop and continue effects, almost like I was coding my brain to stop and start whatever I wanted to do. [linebreak] [linebreak] Last big high and last time smoking (2 weeks ago): 16% thc prerolls I bought at the liquor store, couldnt even finish the whole joint, got half way before I threw it out. I had to find an activity I could do because if I kept to myself I felt like I would get lost in my mind and eventually die. It felt like I was connecting all the dots to life, I had to snap myself out of thinking too much because it made me want to fallasleep and at the time falling asleep = death. I had to keep my mind away of thinking about my high, if I thought about it my heart felt like it would speed up, like a wheel and it would get faster and faster and then eventually it felt like someone was whipping my consicous, I'd think about something and then I'd hear the crack of a whip and the thought would be gone. I felt like my sober self was fighting my high self to see who could keep conscious and it was exhausting. I had to keep throwing out thoughts because I'd spiral farther down and couldnt stop myself. I tried watching Brooklyn 99 but I kep imagining my life as a movie, and what would someones reaction would be to what I was doing right now, then I'd imagine my reaction to me thinking about my life as a movie and the cycle would continue. I tried taking a shower but it felt too good and relaxing, It felt like my legs were telling my brain that they were done standing and going to give out soon. Overall it was like each part of my body was its own body and they all were trying to communicate at the same time. Then I decided to play Fortnite and LoL, first couple of games were rough but then I decided that if I control my brain I'll force myself to get into the perfect state of mind to play, so I did. Just thinking about the right state of mind allowed me to get in it, and I played the best I've ever played in my life. [linebreak] [linebreak] What are my theories? I must be triggering some receptor or something in my brain that causes a episode. But I also think that while I'm high I control more of my brain because the thc receptors in my brain is filled up rather than being empty normally (if thats how it works). I generally believe that I can overdose on marijuana, and I want to get my brain checked out while I'm high, I'm fine with being the first person to OD on marijuana if it furthers the research. [linebreak] [linebreak] So what do ya'll think? I'm up for any questions. +I absolutely believe that some portion of the millions of people on Reddit are the type of crazy fuckers who'd SWAT someone.

You might think that's overkill to put down these fell beasts, considering they don't get past 60lbs, but what the longslide Glock® 40 provides is unprecedented range. [linebreak] [linebreak] In real world conditions, I wouldn't be confident in hitting a pibble sized target past 30 yards with a 9mm and iron sights, but when I'm throwing 180gr slugs at well over 1200 feet per second, I'll reach out and touch that pibble at 100 yards, easy. The Modular Optic System on the rear of the slide is a god-send, providing quick and accurate targeting on a small, fleeting target. In an urban environment, cover and concealment are everywhere, so the first shot may likely be the only clean shot you get. The ballistics of the 10mm Auto out of a 6.02" barrel are almost unrivaled in semi-automatic pistols, and at 100 yards it's still going plenty fast to properly open the hollow-points I use, and it has a flat trajectory so I barely have to compensate for drop.

[linebreak] [linebreak] My grandparents owned a large chunk of and island with 4 cabins in Georgian Bay. This was their cottage, and their children and grandchildren were able to go up any time they wanted in the summer. And we did. My grandparents loved having everyone up, and everyone loved being up there. The big dock, the kayaks, the boat the grandkids could use whenever they wanted, the cool water, the beautiful sunsets, this place was heaven. When it was my grandparents cottage, their 3 kids were equal in how many times you could go up, the rules were the same, and everyone was welcome whenever they wanted. [linebreak] [linebreak] Everything changed when my grandparents passed away. [linebreak] [linebreak] My grandfather had cancer which took over his body quickly. So while he was still alive he put the cottage on sale, and we all went up one more time. It was nice closure. We all said our goodbyes to this place that held so many memories in our hearts. And then my aunt and uncle decided to buy it. They promised everyone nothing would change, we could all go up whenever we wanted, etc. But that wasn't realistic. Their kids, my cousins, have first dibs when it comes to going up. If their kids bring friends, there's no room for the other 2 families. If my aunt and uncle bring their friends, same thing applies. I don't have an issue with this, because it's their cottage. What I have an issue with is the constant stream of Instagram stories and posts every weekend of them renovating cabins, photos of the sunsets, or photos of them relaxing on the dock. Recently they posted a photo of them driving around in a boat that was so sentimental to my grandfather he never let any drive it. And there they were in bikinis and drinks sitting on the back driving it around. Seeing all of this makes me upset. They have every right to enjoy their own cottage, but it's just insensitive of them to constantly post about their great weekends up there when the other 2 families who used to enjoy the same things only get to see it through a smartphone. [linebreak] [linebreak] I just wish they would be able to enjoy their new cottage without having to show all of us how much fun they're having. Without showing us how each cabin is now one child's mini house. How a cottage which could hold over 20 people can now only fit 8. I want to forget about this place, but I can't.

One doesn't need to raise awareness when the events are so few that cable news outlets can justify days of debate over each event; we're already pretty much aware the moment they happen. But one does need to raise awareness if they wish to have their 15 minutes of fame. [linebreak] > [linebreak] > [As I previously noted](https://mises.org/wire/combat-hate-make-government-weaker), the number of people who buy into hate ideology, regardless of motivation, is so trivial that they couldn't even fill a minor league baseball stadium. There are more people than this who think the Earth is flat, yet no one considers that a growing trend. It would be impossible to casually talk about Nazis being evil if they had any semblance of power or authority as people would tread more carefully. Being anti-Nazi is a safe and easy way to win social points since there is almost zero risk of reprisal. Just ask Wilfred Reilly, who is on actual enemies lists, just how dangerous they are (they aren't). However, politicians, certain groups and many individuals have strong incentives to manufacture hate crimes where none exist as such events generate votes, revenue and social attention. [linebreak] [linebreak] Condensed version. +[https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/b3ph8x/are\_f1\_races\_fixed/](https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/b3ph8x/are_f1_races_fixed/) +Oof. +Yeah that's essentially what I was trying to say. It's alright if you say the murderer acted like a yandere character would, I'd also say it's cool, albeit a bit cringy, if you're watching a movie or series where a character kills someone over jealously and you call that a yandere. [linebreak] [linebreak] But in the context of real life with real people, unless you're making a dark joke, you shouldn't really be calling a murderer via an anime stereotype because it's innacurate. Yandere is a thing in anime because of the context the media is built. [linebreak] [linebreak] In the same manner, traps don't mind being called traps because they don't exist, it doesn't help increase hate crime rate of anime characters if you address them by that term, and 'trap' has a use for anime community because it identifies characters that do not fall correctly under the trans nor crossdresser label. The problem is that anime culture reached out way outside it's bubble and people that have no idea what the term reffers to started using it wrongly. [linebreak] [linebreak] A trans person would be someone born in the wrong body, they feel the other gender and have the need to be more like the other gender. [linebreak] [linebreak] A crossdresser is a person that is of a gender but likes dressing up as the other gender from time to time. [linebreak] [linebreak] What the term trap tries to define are anime characters that dress up and act like another gender, and sometimes even go as far as saying they feel like the gender they're going by, but doesn't actually suffer from gender dysphoria. What makes this term not really useable for real people is the fact that you can never assume a person isn't suffering from gender dysphoria because *they* are the only ones able to tell what they're suffering from, as with a fictional character it's entirely alright to assume they aren't suffering from something if the narrative doesn't imply they are. [linebreak] [linebreak] That being said, people will keep both misusing the term and misinterpreting it, and while I'm against completely banning the term (I mean, did that ever work...?) I won't pretend I have a solution to this. +How easily they forget that the MSM and Clinton's campaign in particular tried their hardest to get Trump to win the Republican primaries because they thought he was the easiest to beat. +40% of ∞ is still ∞. Math checks out. +Its like a scat lite fetish. +You're an idiot. [linebreak] [linebreak] >...downvoted just because people don't agree. [linebreak] [linebreak] Yes, that's correct. [linebreak] [linebreak] Why do you think that is? You think you get upvotes because of respect? Because you're right? [linebreak] [linebreak] The voting system is purely democratic. And it changes with the audience. If you put this comment on twitter directly under another person who was upset with Beiber, then you'd likely get heaps of likes. Unfortunately, they're useless and nobody should really care about them. [linebreak] [linebreak] >...you have to find every single joke on the planet absolutely hilarious... [linebreak] [linebreak] Who said that? Quote me one person in this thread or in the entirety of this comment section who said something along those lines. I seriously want to know. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't know anyone who says that. It's basically impossible to find most jokes funny. Not everyone can appreciate light humour like Piano Cat while still enjoying Holocaust jokes. But hey, if you can, then you're probably insane. [linebreak] [linebreak] That being said, if you really hate certain jokes that much, ignore them. Anyone who tells speeches or does stand-up knows that the worst feeling you could have after saying something is not a unanimous reaction or a food execution, but just complete silence as everyone transitions to whatever else they were doing. [linebreak] [linebreak] >I feel like the people who get bent out of shape when someone doesn't agree with them are the ones who are way too sensitive... [linebreak] [linebreak] Yes. Again, yes. No one disagrees with you there, especially the aforementioned maniac. [linebreak] [linebreak] I would go as far as saying most people who get bent out of shape are very sensitive, almost as if that's a defining trait of sensitive people, discounting those that are too shy to voice their opinion, of course. [linebreak] [linebreak] edit: spelling [linebreak] [linebreak] TL;DR fuck you read what I said +Okay, but it seems they're forgetting about Ivankov, who can literally change the genders of people by stabbing them with needle-like fingers, and is the leader of an island of transvestites. that was ten years ago those chapters came out, what the hell happened to everyone between then and now? +Honestly part six looses in tye later part.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] But I firmly believe that there are vastly more acts of racism than false claims.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Conversely, I've seen almost no one argue against people who *literally cannot buy a game legally* pirating, much like how no one gives a shit if you download the original *Super Mario Bros. 3*. But games like *The Outer Worlds* and possibly *Borderlands 3* *aren't even out yet.* [linebreak] [linebreak] Do you *actually* fucking think *any* of the people in the linked thread aren't red-blooded, glued-to-their-seats Americans, let alone Westerners? +A feminist marrying someone just to get citizenship in another country, essentially using him.

The book that all the RoTK games, shows, and movies are based off of was written a couple centuries later around the time or a bit after of the fall of the foreign Khanite led Dynasty, the Yuan dynasty. [linebreak] [linebreak] The northern Yuan dynasty did not fall all at once, and for a while they stayed in contention with the Southern Ming. Luo Guanzhong might have been putting the names Liu Bei,Cao Cao and Sun Quan on paper, but it was really exposé on current or recently historical political events. [linebreak] [linebreak] The southern Ming saw themselves as fighting an illegitimate foreign Dynasty to reestablish a dynasty ruled by the ethnically Han people's, in the same vein as Liu Bei trying to reestablish the venerable Han Empire in Shu-Han from Wei usurpers. [linebreak] [linebreak] So Liu Bei became an allegory for the southern Ming patriots and Cao Cao for the evil northern led Yuan "usurpers". Basically RoTK was written to be propaganda so of course Liu Bei was righteous and Cao Cao the cynical villain. +Just find some other way to compensate for it, like anal. +Hyperbole much?

The first website I visited was TheForce.Net; the second was a porn site. I'd already discovered masturbation a year prior but unfettered web access blew the doors off the whole fucking thing. As a shy and introverted kid, who'd been relentlessly teased by girls in middle school and junior high and had learned to fear them, and who was now going to an all boys high school, it was a godsend for my raging, gooey hormones. I didn't have to worry about girls anymore! Everything I knew about naked girls in my teenage years, I learned from the internet. It felt like the perfect — and safe — release valve. It was also a prime enabler of avoidance of girls, and of never needing to confront the reality that not all girls were going to make fun of me. My grades never suffered, and I did have friends, but I was pretty well in the internet porn bubble by 15. [linebreak] [linebreak] Around then, my porn tastes had expanded from merely jacking to pictures of naked women and low quality video clips to reading erotica. Lots of it. Literotica was a wonderland for me. I also got to indulge my curiosity in gay porn, and I found the sheer novelty of it to be breathtakingly exciting. I mixed it in with all the opposite-sex porn I was consuming I began a long period of questioning my sexuality, even though being surrounded by guys all day, I never felt attracted or infatuated to a single one of them. It never occurred to me at 16 and 17 that I was responding to the novelty and the taboo of watching gay porn, and that it did not align with my own sexual preferences. Soon after I graduated from high school, I decided to put it to the test — I found a guy my age who lived nearby, and I actually lost my virginity to him. It did not do a damn thing for me, and I came away confident that I wasn't gay, but the porn consumption continued. [linebreak] [linebreak] I didn't date at all from 17 to 20. I'd had my first girlfriend during high school and it was very exciting in a physical sense, thereby proving that I was still very much attracted to girls, but that had long since ended and I retreated into my shell of depression/anxiety and enough porn to suffocate a lesser man. High speed internet had come into our home, so now there was more porn, and it was *faster!* Now there were streaming sites; Xtube was an early favorite of mine. It was so comforting and reliable, and it never made me feel anxious; ashamed, but never anxious. [linebreak] [linebreak] I starting dating my first real girlfriend when I was 20, and she was the first time I'd ever had sex with a woman, and the first time I'd had sex at all since that one guy I'd experimented with. I enjoyed sex with her but was still pretty anxious and inhibited about not living up to the dudes I'd watched in pornos, both professional and amateur. This led to a lot of performance anxiety, and using masturbation as a self-soothing mechanism, it gave rise to erectile dysfunction as well. Erectile dysfunction at 21 years old. Can you fucking believe it? It was a source of tension in the relationship, amongst other things — namely my untreated anxiety and depression, which I didn't want to accept and face. My porn consumption bothered her as well. Long story short, we lasted two years before the entire relationship deteriorated. This did nothing to improve my self-esteem. [linebreak] [linebreak] Over the next decade, I went on a ton of first dates that went nowhere, and had a handful of one-night stands where I could force myself to perform (at least) adequately. Entire days, nights, and weekends would be consumed by porn — streaming videos, pictures, literary erotica, and once I found Reddit, a ton of the gonewild-type subs. I'd be masturbating four or five times a day when I was alone. It would leave me feeling drained and utterly revolted by myself. My socialization dropped like a rock as a result of intense anxiety, and the excessive masturbation was being used as an avoidance mechanism to hold the anxiety at bay. It was all a terribly dysfunctional cycle. [linebreak] [linebreak] A few months ago, the woman of my dreams, whom I'd been dating for over a year, left me for reasons unrelated to my masturbation habits. It broke me, and I'm now finally getting therapy for the anxiety that has held my life in a death grip since adolescence. And now, it's time to leave masturbation behind too. I've masturbated five times in the last twenty-four hours due to obvious anxiety issues and I cannot stand it anymore. I'm feeling disgusted and ashamed of myself for the last time. I'm going to get better, and goddammit I'm going to pursue the type of life and relationships I deserve. This cannot be anymore. My life cannot be crippled by anxiety and its toxic coping mechanisms any longer. No more porn. No more gonewild subs. No nothing. The next time I see a naked woman is gonna be when she's standing right in front of me, however long it takes. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm done jerking myself into a coma, just like I'm done hiding from the world. I don't deserve to be treated this way *by my own self*, let alone anybody else. My mission to improve my life has gained a new facet and an extra shot in the arm. Telling my story on a public forum such as this is my way of owing it and drawing the dividing line between the past and the future. Thanks for reading. [linebreak] [linebreak] tl;dr: Masturbated daily for twenty two years, used it as a crutch to avoid my anxiety, ran my social life into the ground, but fuck both of those things now. I'm in therapy and I'm gonna go out there and get mine. +Can someone fill me in on why he threw the baby?

Amazing argument. +Yeah, they're definitely cheaper in the long run, too. I didn't intend to suggest that one *couldn't* find them at all anymore, just that they aren't the preferred choice for most people. [linebreak] [linebreak] I wish they were more popular, though.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I just happened to have the same starting username! +incels??? so if people cant get laid they're as bad as pedophiles??? +To be fair the op didn't mention mosques at all, unless you consider those "black churches" whatever that could be. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] But I seem to remember quite a few stories about the Mosul mosque when it was destroyed, you could argue that is because of the ISIL drama. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] But this just happened. Are people not allowed to mourn for even a single day anymore? Sure if you don't care about history you could just say "it's just a building burning down" but it's a cultural and historic landmark that has touched the lives of millions of people for hundreds of years. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] There isn't any valid point the original is making unless "why are upset about your \_\_\_\_\_ no one cared about my \_\_\_\_" which doesn't seem like a constructive critique. +Nani? +That can be arranged lekin for vo nervous se agitate ho jayenge +Millions go into third world countries every year.

In it, he absolutely destroys the very idea of monarchy and big government. +Man what a burn! +I try to reply to all responses I get to comments and posts, however a few times I've posted on depression/anxiety and subs like that and not responded to people who have written back. I feel awful about it, but sometimes I'm so depressed that writing back seems incredibly hard. If you'd like me to expand on that I can, but I hope this gives some perspective into why they may not. +[The last time he told the story about getting fired, there was no racist message involved.](https://www.reddit.com/r/jobs/comments/8pct3c/seeking_advice_i_just_got_fired_with_no_concrete/) Notice that these posts are talking about the exact same firing in June 2018.

I don't use Instagram, but the screenshot makes it appear that there was no prior message. +Did you like it? Thanks for reminding of this movie. I was shocked to realize it's been six years. +I think the whole thing about me taking the time to send genuine, heartfelt messages to people in need shows that I am not self-absorbed.

[linebreak] [linebreak] To pretend there's anything more to it is pretty offensive. +I see this a bit 25/75: 25% of me is like "damn I guess I said the wrong thing since they didn't comment" and the other 75% is definitely the "yelling into the void" poster. I actually just posted something just to get it out of my system. I didn't really need responses....and I understand what you mean: "why can't they write it in their journal?" [linebreak] [linebreak] I also write in my journal, but sometimes it's nice just to see people who have felt my struggle without any judgement. That's why I like Reddit. No one knows me here and I'm able to just be myself rather than plaster a smile on my face all day like I typically do. ‍♀️ +r/MurderedByWords +The OP can apply for PR in J&K...

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] "Other people being too nice to black people is forcing me to be racist" is such garbage thinking and I hate it. If I found out someone was avoiding black people because the way *other* people are treating black people I would have to think they were a fucking idiot who was just looking for an excuse to justify their bigotry. +>And of course you believe them without question... because why would they lie? Right? [linebreak] [linebreak] Personally, I believe everything user you've replied to posts. Lying is not in their nature. +700 maternal deaths out of 3 million births annually.

It's actually that simple, because they just care about her ideas.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Evidence of their delusion when waaaay down at the bottom of the thread, someone points out that the right-wing likes Candace Owens so this theory makes no sense.

That would be heart-breaking, which I suppose is why I'm calling it out. +If you don't care and keep liking what you like, they have absolutely no control +Secularism in its original form means separation of religion and state. It basically means that the state should not interfere in religious matter and religion should not interfere in state matters. [linebreak] All religions should respect the laws no matter what. For example if using loudspeakers is considered a public offence, then you should be prosecuted for it, even if its just following your religious beliefs. [linebreak] [linebreak] Things like separate marriage code for muslims, hajj subsidy by the government, as well as hinduphobia and embracing and catering muslims because they're a "minority under threat" by the leftist "liberals" and other bullshit spoon-feeding done to muslims is in itself against the very concept of secularism that these stupid "progressive liberals" claim to be standing for. +Wow, it must be nice to take a back seat and talk shit to anyone you want, generalize entire groups of people, then have zero evidence and tell everyone else to do the research... also, why are white women still pretending that they're not white?

[linebreak] [linebreak] Seriously, I've been reading Engels lately, and the guy's a fucking hack. I swear you could go through his work and find-and-replace-text, and change every instance of "necessarily" to "mystically", and every example of "necessary" to "eldritch", and it would read exactly the same way. Anyone who'd read his drivel and view it as innovation to be implemented, that's some Jonestown-tier decision making...Jonestown itself having been a socialist commune, I suddenly recall. +Because plastic Razors have never been marketed to men +Nature isn't a wonderful, peaceful place, and anyone who thinks it is, is delusional. Everything wants to kill you, the elements, other animals, diseases, ect. It doesn't inherently provide for you. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you walk into a Forrest expecting to gather plentiful food and clean water, you will die. The food you will find will taste terrible and take a ton of effort to gather or hunt enough of to actually be nourishing. The water will always be dirty and taste disgusting. [linebreak] [linebreak] I get the appeal, it's a pretty place to visit. It's easy to embellish the peace and beauty when you don't see predators covered in the blood of their prey, or a rabid animal being painfully reducing to a brain dead mess. [linebreak] [linebreak] Be Happy for human advancement. Take pride in the machines we've build and the plentiful resources we've made for ourselves because nature doesn't care. It never has, and our advancement as a species has come inspite of nature, not because of it. +What happened to canceling Dany the White Savior? +It almost makes you sympathetic to their insanity. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's easy for people who aren't worthless sacks of shit to see how idiotic and dangerous communism is, but I'd imagine if you are so pathetic that the only skills you possess in life by your 30's are something you could train a mentally handicapped 14 year old to do in literally 5 minutes, then the great commie revolution might make sense to you. +[Turns out that going to other countries and taking resources makes you wealthier.

It's both sad and annoying. +I am no Police lover, but it is easy to understand their apathy in this case. Most of the murder victims are a part of the gang game, and it's likely that they killed or injured other people. The Police just don't care in this case since it is a part of daily life there, and the victims aren't saints themselves. [linebreak] +Regarding voat links... +That's a good attitude to have if you want your Asian restaurants to go out of business. +Honest question here, how do people decide the general consensus on whether a word is offensive to a community or not? I can perfectly understand and agree with not using a word towards people if they say they don't like to be referred to that way, but how do we determine what is wrong to a much larger group? [linebreak] [linebreak] I think the thing that confuses me the most about "trap" as to whether it is offensive or not, is that the only times I ever see it used in reference to real people or in real life is for NSFW purposes, and I think, at least in my experience, people have very different definitions on whether something is offensive when it's being used explicitly for those scenarios. [linebreak] [linebreak] I guess the long and short of it is, I can fully see and agree with how it would be offensive in just a normal setting, but I'm not sure if it would be offensive if it's being used mainly for NSFW purposes, which is what it is as far as I know. +Nah, Hitler's Germany wasn't true Nazism, it was State Fascism.

Like, imagine your in a hurry somewhere. Maybe your wife just went into labor and you are trying to get to the hospital, or you just have to take a massive shit and you are trying to get home. You need to make a left at the light and a bunch of ANTIFA retards are blocking the street and not letting anyone go. [linebreak] [linebreak] They have no permit, no authority, and no clearance to do this. Calling the cops gets you nowhere and the police do nothing. Honestly, I'd tell the cops that if they won't do anything to clear up the obstruction, I would. And they would not like my methods. I would make Dylan Roof's massacre look like childs play. And it all could have been avoided if the rule of law was just enforced on these tyrants. +Yo I got into my first relationship at 20 after no kissing or anything, my bf didnt even know if i liked him at the time cos i took a while to reply to his texts too. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] And about the people not replying, you need to try to be comfortable with yourself first (obviously you've mentioned that you dont want to be chubby etc.) And the only reason you're boring around people imo is because you're not comfortable enough to actually let loose and have fun. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] If your conversations are boring, it's might be either the people you talk to are boring or you're trying to get through the conversation without actually wanting anything out of it, so you end up droning on and on about things because you feel like you should be talking when you don't need to be. +Unsarcastically: The idea of "pride" for oppressed or disadvantaged groups is a celebration of overcoming the oppression and disadvantage. It's a collective pride in having made it this far while putting up with all the shit. It's not the only requirement in order to be proud of yourself or celebrate collective accomplishment, but it can definitely be a legitimate source of pride. [linebreak] [linebreak] There's not much pride in distinctions of no consequence or ones that are advantages unearned, because there was no hurdle to clear, nothing really achieved. That's why "straight pride" sounds silly or obnoxious, depending on the baggage. This isn't to say "straight shame" is legitimate either, just "straight... is an adjective which applies" is more the right speed. +So you're okay with people getting arrested for eating on a train? +probably april 2021 or so +I think y'all might enjoy this song from our Chinese overlords +You can see your ass out the back door.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] In a few of those cases it did turn out that the black people were technically breaking rules or laws. Whether it rose to the level of having to get police involved is debatable but they were still rule breaking.

They also denigrate the idea of seeking help for genuine problems, selling the notion that you can pull yourself up by your own bootstraps; with only the modest outlay of $25.99 plus tax you too can learn The Secret. [linebreak] [linebreak] Before box sets and big epic tv shows a lot of water cooler chat was people talking about what self-help book they were currently into.

They see Captain Marvel (CM) as being shoehorned into the MCU, and recent leaks, if they are to be believed, suggest that the Russo Brothers have clashed with Disney over CM's role in End Game. The Marvel comics are also recovering from some "forced diveristy" issues that has [completely tanked their sales](https://youtu.be/9CnTDE2zZU0) (e.g., female Thor). In short, people are tired of mega corporations pandering to diversity progressiveness at the detriment of quality products. [linebreak] [linebreak] More specifically, Brie Larson has made several comments about white movie critics and how she is going out of her way to give people of colour press access. In the grand scheme of things, maybe this isn't so bad, but her comments have caused a ruckus mostly because she comes off as [snooty and posh](https://youtu.be/ZA_DNrV6izw). Even feminists have accused her of being a limousine liberal and acting like a white saviour which [she has been accused of before](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/brie-larson-basmati-blues-white-saviour-role-attack-criticism-actress-india-cinema-a8057001.html). Gotta pay those bills though, I guess. [linebreak] [linebreak] The trailers drop for CM and people are unimpressed. This causes media outlets to pump out their preemptive "incels are back to ruin CM" narrative. This attracts negative attention and people go to Rotten Tomatoes to say they aren't interested in the movie. This intensified the tension and more articles were written which attracted trolls and genuine pissed off comic and movie patrons alike. The shit snowball keeps rolling and keeps getting bigger. [linebreak] [linebreak] The movie comes out and reviews are mixed, even from people one might consider "woke". Rotten Tomatoes deletes reviews which intensifies tensions further. People fed up with the "SJWing" of preexisting intellectual properties smell blood in the water and keep clashing with people whining about Trump's America being plagued by white nationalist, sexist, GamerGater incels.

However, I do recognise that I might have driven her away a bit by avoiding to see her back then. [linebreak] [linebreak] I went to a therapist back when I was 17 to talk about this and some other, darker, things. She ended up saying that she didn't treat troubles as bad as mine, gave me another place's number & charged me anyway. I'll never go to a therapist again, since she was not the first one I went to during my life. I went to one when I was 5, another one when I was 12 and another one when I was 14. Neither one of them were able to help me at all with the issue I faced at the time (I don't quite remember why I went when I was 5 but the other two times were because of anger management issues). [linebreak] [linebreak] Last year I thought of fixing my anxiety myself with meds since it got really bad (I got to the point of stuttering once when talking to two girls and one guy), but I couldn't find any pharmacy willing to sell them to me without a prescription so I couldn't do anything about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't know if I like anything about myself. I'm a good friend, I guess? Back when I had friends I always stood by their side and always listened to them when they had some sort of problem. But I don't know... I was always the one initiating conversations & when I decided to let them start one I never heard from them again. [linebreak] [linebreak] And about my life... I don't know.

She refused to see or believe anything that disputed this or evidence that Trump prevents non profits like that from helping detained children/infants. She also didn't like that I tried to explain that her being an idiot for her support of Trump is a compliment because the only other possibility was her being evil.

[linebreak] [linebreak] - Growing up, whenever my sisters or I fuck up, my mom would either yell at us or actually hit us. Heck, we got yelled at whenever we're in our mom's way. This is more applicable on my older sister than the rest of us but there's no exemption. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] - My mom cheated on my dad emotionally. Had an affair with a guy that was doing renovations to our house for 1.5 yrs or so. She also made me keep track of my dad's phone calls as well. I kinda feel bad for her cause she was married at 17 and according to my grandparents "turned into a demon" after. She became a mom of 3 at 23 and was recently diagnosed with anxiety and depression (even though it does not look like it). [linebreak] [linebreak] - Apparently my dad also had an affair w/ a co-worker (or VERY suspect interactions with her) when I was a boy. [linebreak] [linebreak] - My parents would buy gifts for my sisters randomly and use emotional manipulation about it. It got to the point where they feel guilty whenever they randomly gets gifts and I told my parents to never get me anything. It also made me HATE HATE HATE gift-giving to this day.

Good luck finding it though. +This is what they meant when they talked about Russian Bots. +Hey! [linebreak] First thing I want to say: [linebreak] It's okay to not be someone's best friend. I've never had a best friend. I've always been friends with different types of people and it sounds like you have too. [linebreak] There's the people I want to go out with, there's the people that make me laugh so hard I throw up (truestory), there's the people I go to when I feel like shit or need advice, the people I can have really deep conversations with, etc.! [linebreak] Ofcourse some of these overlap, but in the end you have friends because they fill a certain role in your life, and I think that's beautiful. Sometimes you want to hang with the one person, and sometimes you don't, and that's okay :) [linebreak] To me, it would be the worst to have one person you depend on the most. But that's pesonal. [linebreak] [linebreak] The second point I want to make is that this could be an important moment in your life: the friends you have now, you won't want to have for the rest of your life either. You'll move away from each other, grow apart, or take a different path in life, and that's all okay! Maybe you and your current best friend will grow apart. But you'll find new friends, in the weirdest places, that you have the best connections with. It's okay to lose people, in a while you'll be happy for them that they've found their way in life. [linebreak] [linebreak] And if you really want to be someone's best friend, someone with whom you share everything, someone that you trust completely, that won't ever backstab you: you will. If it's not right now, it's yet to come :) it has nothing to do with who you are, everyone is weird and you'll find the right level of weirdness to match yours. [linebreak] [linebreak] Surround yourself with the people you enjoy spending time with, you don't need any labels for that. +Tolkien explicitly described the orcs as being: [linebreak] [linebreak] >squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, with wide mouths and slant eyes: in fact degraded and repulsive versions of the (to Europeans) least lovely Mongol-types. +That last name though...oof. +lol. bitch Ive been jelqing since preteens and take roids like it's my job. you do NOT know who you are talking too and i recommend you cease and desist [linebreak] [linebreak] Outlines: [linebreak] [linebreak] 1. rct.doj.ca.gov/Verification/Web/Dow... - [Outline](https://outline.com/https://rct.doj.ca.gov/Verification/Web/Download.aspx?saveas=CA+Returns+SIGNED.PDF&document_id=09027b8f8037295d) [linebreak] [linebreak] ^(*I am a bot for posting Outline.com links.*) [^(*github*)](https://github.com/LightUmbra/Reddit-archive-bots) ^/ [^(*Contact for info or issues*)](/message/compose?to=\/u/LightUmbra) +Was this murder a hoax? +True.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Also, relevant username +u/vreddit bot +I think this is a thought nobody is going to let go of until a few more years pass. Awareness is very lacking for many things, going from rape arguments to differences in how depression and confessions of feelings are treated (for example a woman confessing for needing help often receives a different treatment from everyone nearby her compared to a male that is mocked for his weakness or kind of receiving a disgusted reaction, especially by the opposite gender). [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I have received more or less the same answers you received, although in my case it was always forceful molestation. There is still this underlying thought from men that mostly see the other sex as a chance to be sexual with rather than human beings first, but not when without them, mostly with strangers or friends or acquaintances. I think in a few years things will change, and hopefully the awareness of rape being a general problem, depression and sadness being top priorities to fight along obesity as cause of death, will progress once and for all. +It's the hypocrisy/cognitive dissonance of the left +Naah.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I'm pretty sure Wongbal didn't actually check why the "neckbeards" liked the movie. Because the romance subplot is widely considered the **weakest** part of the film. [linebreak] [linebreak] #SPOILERS FOLLOW [linebreak] [linebreak] I also like how Alita "has to be taught how to do everything". "Everything" apparently doesn't include **battling**. Which is, again, *what people are seeing the movie for*. The reason she doesn't know about civilian life is, implicitly, she's never *been* a civilian. +Good on you for being so great with the restaurant dog! [linebreak] [linebreak] The dog in the restaurant is interesting. To my knowledge ESAs have no federal protections in restaurants. It's mostly that they get to live in domiciles and travel. I'm guessing your state could have extra protections. Your thinking is very considerate and I like that. [linebreak] [linebreak] My last dog wasn't an ESA but he was a trained therapy dog. I say "trained" but he was a 3 pound long-hair chihuahua who already loved cuddles so it was mostly I who was trained. He would visit hospitals and nursing homes and even after he's passed we've kept in touch with some of the nursing home folk. [linebreak] [linebreak] I plan on doing the same for my little guy. He'll be 3 this fall and it might be the right time. [linebreak] [linebreak] >It seems to me we need to have much clearer rules. We need to be able to have purely animal free places for people who legitimately need it and places that allow it. The issue is that when you give a landlord the option, they will generally choose no animals since that is the cheapest option. [linebreak] [linebreak] Agreed. [linebreak] [linebreak] >Why are they worth less than people who need ESA's? [linebreak] [linebreak] Agreed as well. Everyone's health concerns deserve to be taken into account and I do not envy the people who have to figure those things out. [linebreak] [linebreak] But like you said, clearer rules are needed. Not only for people who can't be around animals, but in situations like universities that aren't even the best/healthiest places for people, is it really in the best interest of all (including the animals themselves) to have animals in such tight, possibly unhealthy environments? [linebreak] [linebreak] What my college did was have animals from a local shelter come for visits every now and then and advertise them heavily. It's not quite the same as having a companion but it went a long way to reduce stress and anxiety. +Rebuilding a cultural artefact is now keeping white supremacism alive.

[linebreak] [linebreak] No thanks, it hits a little too close to home for me. +Lol, lazy fucks +I am sure if this idiot tried to tell the owners of the restaurant all of this crap that the owners would tell them to fuck off. Money is money, and in the restaurant business you want all the customers you can handle. [linebreak] [linebreak] Edit: Also, never met people from other cultures who didn't enjoy sharing their food. I am white and married into an Asian family, my father in law loves it when I try and enjoy some of the oddball (to me) stuff that exists in Filipino cuisine. He even gets a laugh out of my reactions when I really don't enjoy certain things at all. Food is how people as a society can bond and get past tension that might exist, yet these SJW assholes would ruin that. +I mean, it's sad that this is probably a tit for tat. It's a little coincidental that these 'restrictive' abortion laws came months after New York made Abortions 9 months into a pregnancy legal and celebrated it. Then it was followed up with a Governor talking about 'post birth' abortion. [linebreak] [linebreak] I think abortion was at as good a place it could be.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I can say that she could be my future wife if she dropped a few habits, but I honestly don't see her doing so. She smokes cigarettes and does a lot of recreational drugs; cannabis, mdma, psychedelics, and has recently been interested in dmt. She has mild depression, diagnosed anxiety, and doesn't have any hobbies. Because she doesn't have any hobbies, she is always smoking marijuana daily, and she is always looking for the next opportunity to do mdma(once every few months) and I feel like her life is revolving around recreational drugs, albeit this is not heavy usage, purely to pass time. She is obsessed with having children and more pets, but at times her depression leads to neglect her current pets. She is insistent on having children in the future, but I can easily see the drug habits and depression affecting the well-being of her child and any future pets she wants to adopt. She does not see her drug problem as an issue, and says that she has the will to quit of necessary, but I don't believe her because I have seen how low her depression can pull her down. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] As for some background on myself, I'm a quiet introvert with a lot of hobbies, stable job with a mortgage, I occupy my time with various things, like home improvement, computer games and watching netflix. I also have a lot of creative art hobbies that I do from time to time. My view on recreational drugs is quite lax, I am aware that they do have inherent health risks and toxicity but this isn't the sub to discuss that. What I am willing to say is that I also enjoy recreational drugs from time to time, but I'd prefer it to be less frequent, and for it to not be the main focus of an activity. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Since being with my girlfriend, my drug usage has increased, and often times we will resort to smoking weed just to pass time. There is also a heavy expectation on me to sort out activities and entertainment for any given weekday, and she will complain loudly if not occupied. This will often default back to smoking more cannabis, which I'm not the greatest fan of. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I have suggested many times for her to adopt a hobby, but she dismisses this and continues to occupy her time with drugs, when I try to push the matter, she will need to smoke cigarettes to alleviate her stress. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I honestly love my girlfriend, and I can see us staying together indefinitely if we stay on a similar path, but her insistence of a child conflicts with her cigarette and drug use. I would have no issues with her lifestyle if she didn't want a child; but as she is so clucky and unwilling to care for herself, I feel that any child brought into this world will be in danger. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I really don't know how to approach the matter, and I have been thinking about this for the longest time. I can't see her using less drugs, changing her mind about having a child, or picking up hobbies to occupy her time, and this is a major hurdle in our relationship. I can see us being best friends, and her having a child with another person, but I would still worry about the welfare of the kid, and breaking up and remaining mutual friends is always an idealistic situation that rarely works out.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Blacks do go into the woods to enjoy the outdoors through activities like hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, etc... But, blacks only make up about 13% of the population of America. Also, not many blacks actually go into the woods; only a very small percentage of them are active in the wild outdoors. Therefore, I suspect that of all of the humans that regularly go into the woods in North America, probably less than 1% of them are black. [linebreak] [linebreak] Why bring this up? My point here is that Bigfoot is not used to seeing black folks. This may provoke certain responses by a Sasquatch when it sees a black person, such as: [linebreak] [linebreak] 1. Confusion; [linebreak] 2. Fear; [linebreak] 3. Trepidation; and [linebreak] 4. Curiosity [linebreak] [linebreak] I believe that all of these are responses that can work to our advantage. All of these potential responses will cause a Bigfoot some amount of pause, and this slight pause may be the difference between getting off a kill shot and not. [linebreak] [linebreak] The fact is, sasquatch does not regularly see black people. Chances are better than not that when a Squatch sees a black person that it will be the first time it has ever seen one. It may get scared and freak out, or it may stand there and stare. [linebreak] [linebreak] As a practical matter I think that a technique worth trying is to take a black person on some hunts. See how the Squatch population reacts to the black person and take note. I am aware of no other groups that have tried this, so I will be very interested to see the results. [linebreak] [linebreak] There are all sorts of variations on this concept. The goal here is to throw a Bigfoot off balance with some sort of odd occurrence in the woods. The idea is to create a weird scene in an area where Bigfoot are present and which is not threatening to the creature. At the same time, you want it to perplex the BF to the point where it is standing there just scratching its head at the spectacle. While this is going on we will have snipers strategically placed whose job is to locate the Sasquatch and to put a bullet in the animal's head. [linebreak] [linebreak] Here are some other ideas I have to cause a Bigfoot to pause due to confusion: [linebreak] [linebreak] 1. Outdoors sex/orgy: Get some skanky swingers group together and get them into the woods to screw and orgy in a Bigfoot hotspot. This will really pique a scratch's interest. At some point a Squatch will stick out its head to see what the fuck all that sucking and slapping noise is, then one of our snipers blows his brain out! [linebreak] [linebreak] 2. Poker game in the woods: same concept as the orgy but less gross. It probably will take longer to attract a Squatch. [linebreak] [linebreak] 3. Strange looking people: these are people that Squatch are not used to seeing. For example, dress up like a party clown and walk around in a hotspot zone juggling bowling pins. [linebreak] [linebreak] 4. Fighting: put together a group of low-life fight-club types, take them into the woods and let them fight. The noise and weird scene will generate some Bigfoot interest. [linebreak] [linebreak] Some believe that Sasquatch are something like forest ninjas: fast and stealthy. I think that if you do something truly weird then we may be able to confuse and agitate the animal. Confusion and agitation does not comport with stealth and concealment. Therefore, we take the Squatch's advantage away from it. This will make it t more likely to show itself and, thereby, give us a shot at it. +I was playing devil's advocate.

Plus, the Duggar's oldest son molested his own sisters when the girls were small children. The girls were encouraged to forgive him because Jesus (and then had to publicly forgive him on a talk show...) and the brother was never formally charged. Rather, they just shaved his head and sent him to a construction project for a few months while they hysteria died down. So yeah, I get that without context it seems like a ridiculous thing to snark about the Duggar's.

[linebreak] [linebreak] good times. +the "experience" of being trans? bitch it's a fucking mental illness, not a rollercoaster ride +Slut has always been an insult for women, not men, and virgin has always been an insult for men, not women. This whole dichotomy exists because of the different ways in which men and women pursue sex. [linebreak] [linebreak] It is not difficult to attract sexual partners as a woman. The same is not true of men. Attracting partners is actually challenging as a man, so the ability to do so is seen as that - an ability, a talent, a skill. Now, a woman who has high standards will find difficulty attracting a man who fits them, but it is fundamentally not hard for a woman to find sex if that's all she wants, so choosing whether to be a slut or not is always a conscious choice. If she wants sex, she can get it. If she doesn't, she doesn't. Right-wing society says the choice to be a virgin is the superior one, left-wing society disagrees, but it's still a choice. [linebreak] [linebreak] For men, attracting partners is not a choice, it's a challenge. Thus, calling a man a virgin is not at all like calling a woman a slut. Instead, it's akin to saying "you've never successfully performed this challenge", like saying you're unathletic because you can't throw a three-pointer, or unintelligent because you can't pass an exam, to the point that even the few straight men who consciously choose not to pursue the challenge of wooing women tend to be put in the same basket as those who try and fail. This is why the word 'virgin' is an insult to men. +https://youtu.be/PHzOOQfhPFg +Even with the commenters disagreeing, I'd personally recommend deleting that post.

I'm scared that I will find out that there is no afterlife and that death is just you being gone, no consciousness is what I fear most. If there was an option for when I die to have no consciousness or go to hell. I rather go to hell. This fear is really starting to bring up my anxiety. Sometimes I just lay in my bed at night slowly going into a panic attack knowing death is inevitable and that one day it's going to happen to me. I wish science was farther ahead allowing us to be immortal. idk, I just wanted to rant and get this off my chest.

I didn't do so well on the first one. Now is my chance to prove I can do well. I study for a week straight. 4+ hours every day. And i get a 65%. In the car, my dad asks about it. I say I got a 65, which was better than last time, and not an F but a D, and I got my last exam score (55%) replaced with this one. Dad asks what I have in thr class, and I say 75%. [linebreak] [linebreak] Mom says "you might want to rethink being a chem major if you can't do community college level chemistry." I'm 17, in high school, and I'm going to a local community college through a program my school offers. She has already brought it up before, and I was really doubting myself. I just say "haha yeah.." because I don't really know what else to say. Its been hard motivating myself and finding a goal I want to achieve, but being a biochem major and getting my bachelors degree in Science is the one goal I've made for myself. Its what I've been working with in mind for the last 2 years at this college. I almost have my Associates. And now my mom is telling me I can't achieve my goal. [linebreak] [linebreak] My dad says "no no she can do it, it will take a little work, but she can do it. Everything takes work." I don't say anything because I don't want my mom to keep going on about it. Last time she talked about this, I was in the car by myself with her, so I just had to sit and listen to her tell me I'm not good at chemistry, wasn't in high school, isn't now, and why do I want to be a chem major when I'm bad at chemistry. But I felt better about having my dad in the car because he usually says something when my mom goes too far with something. [linebreak] [linebreak] She always used to ask me why I don't have any goals in life, why I don't care. Because whenever I have something I love doing or something I want to work towards, you always walk all over me and make me question whether or not I can do it, whether or not I can do anything. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] When I was applying to universities, she said I could apply anywhere, that now was my time to start becoming more mature. She always goes on about how college is my time, my time to do what I want, be who I want to be, and how I can go anywhere. [linebreak] [linebreak] I said I wanted to apply to UW Seattle. [linebreak] [linebreak] Yes, perfect! [linebreak] [linebreak] I guess I can apply to UW Tacoma too. No, you are not applying there! [linebreak] [linebreak] Why not, it has a small school size which is what I want, it's still University of Washington thats the one school I have always dreamed of going to every since I was a kid. [linebreak] [linebreak] Because, you are not applying there!!! [linebreak] [linebreak] I want to apply to both UW's with dorms I've always wanted to go there, XXX (my boyfriend) is going there too! [linebreak] [linebreak] You know you're not going to be with him when you're in college right, you're not going to be together very long, you know you're not getting married, right? You're going to meet so many new people in college, you think he's not going to meet any new people while he's in college? He's probably met people already (he's a college freshman this year). [linebreak] [linebreak] She always asks if I have crushes on any of my male friends. Asks if I feel anything for them. If there's something between us. I don't understand why. She's not joking. She's being completely serious. It just makes me uncomfortable. And always makes comments about my boyfriend finding someone else to be with at work or at college. [linebreak] [linebreak] As I was showing her my prom dress, she said, [linebreak] [linebreak] Maybe you'll get to wear it in college, some guy might invite you out to a fancy event! [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm going to prom with my boyfriend and I have never been more exited to go to a school event. I've never gone to school dances, events, anything. But my boyfriend wanted to share a special day with me, and that's what my mom had to say about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] I wish she could recognize that I'm happy with him, and even though I know it may not last forever, I can hope it will and appreciate the present. Just because you wanted to date a lot in high school and college, doesn't mean I do. [linebreak] [linebreak] I just needed to vent +While you were partying, I studied the ~~blade~~ social sciences +Agreed.

No, your group was made to look the fool, and you made your neighborhood worse. [linebreak] [linebreak] The way to reduce this type of crime is to understand that nobody wins.

When they do it's like..a gentle silent buzzing in my head, and a strange physical prod in my gut. I can tell those who put on happy faces but are truly suffering..And tell the difference between truly troubled teens and those who say things like "I'm so depressed...mum took my phone away. I'm so impressed I hate this family!". [linebreak] [linebreak] That's how I got the Mama nickname. I take on board troubled youths, show them the kindness they deserve and teach them that no matter what, love and friendship are the way forward.

[linebreak] [linebreak] For many people, pride isn't "just" about celebrating being gay, its about celebrating that DESPITE being gay, we have survived the harassment, the violence, the depression and anxiety. Its about remembering those who did the hardest of the work to get us to where we are today. So yes, we absolutely should be proud of being gay and all the baggage that has come with it. Straight people aren't attacked for being straight. You have never been denied a job for being straight. You have had the privilege of being in the majority. To marry who you love.

He was doing paintball but I was just helping him organise it so everyone can have a good time. [linebreak] [linebreak] We went in the morning and it was great, heaps of fun, 10 of us all best mates. After paintballing we went back to my friends place. We had planned to hang out for the evening in his back yard, with chill music, yummy food and just happy times to celebrate a good blokes birthday. [linebreak] [linebreak] We were only there together for an hour before everyone disappeared saying they all had things to do. So I hung around with him for the afternoon but it just being us two got kinda boring so I went home. Then later on this evening we were playing Xbox when we checked Snapchat maps. All of the people who we "busy" were all hanging out in the city. [linebreak] [linebreak] All our "friends" left my best mates 17th to go hang out by themselves. After seeing this we both realised that they had been hiding their plans from us all week. Hiding their phones when in group chats just not talking to us about the party. They basically turned up for free paintball (which is expensive!!) And left for themselves.

What he says is *technically* true, he skips over a lot of stuff that would have built context and often uses character assassination during his interpretation of events to make a person sound evil when he can't easily debunk something. For example, he was doing a video on Crowder's reference to the crusades and he pulled up a map of the records of all battles between Muslims and Christians during the Reconquista, he had no idea what he was looking at(he so focused on the crusades, that the Muslim-Christian conflict during the 700 year long Reconquista never entered his mind) so he called the person who came up with it a white supremacist and moved on as if he had somehow proven him wrong. +Yes.

If you are sick, unemployed or old, there would be a social security to guarantee you a minimum level of existence. However, there is no upper bound on how much a person achieve. [linebreak] [linebreak] > In socialism, there is often a lower bound, but more importantly a very strong upper bound. There is a strong compulsion to not allow anyone to get too rich, by the government controlling all methods of production. [linebreak] [linebreak] > There is an absolute poverty and a relative poverty. If people are dying/suffering without the basic necessities [such as food, clothing, shelter] there is absolute poverty. If some are a lot rich and others not so rich, then there is relative poverty. Welfare capitalism worries primarily about absolute poverty, while socialism worries more about relative poverty. For capitalist it often doesn't matter that there is wealth inequality, because those are natural [not all gets Olympic medals, Nobel prizes, honor, awards for instance]. For a socialist, inequality is a problem. [linebreak] [linebreak] > A capitalist nation with a welfare system is pretty much capitalism. There is no fundamental change.

Sure, the Supreme Court has stopped states from using literacy tests to keep racial minorities from voting. For example, it wasn't OK for southern states to combine impossible to pass literacy tests [like this one](https://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/news/jimcrow/question/2012/pdfs-docs/literacytest.pdf) with grandfather clauses that said if your grandfather was eligible to vote (i.e. not a slave) then you could wave the impossible test. But literacy tests applied without racial discrimination have always [been upheld](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lassiter_v._Northampton_County_Board_of_Elections). [linebreak] [linebreak] It was a law, specifically the Voting Rights Act of 1965, that banned literacy tests, not some Supreme Court ruling. And really, that national ban is probably on shakier constitutional grounds than any neutrally applied literacy test.

The other mods, without discussing it with me first, changed the rules on how mod posts were going to be made in the future and tried to punish me with reduced mod duties (which boiled down to not being able to post content to the boards as a mod...whilst still modding and handling code and reports).

This is like the third topic I remember in as many weeks where it's been phrased this way. Again, why not just say *black people*? It's the same number of characters. But it's almost if the bodies in question don't belong to people. They belong to a social justice cause, and to the collective identity known as *Black,* a hive mind of sorts. Notice how they even capitalized the name. +Agreed +Hey, we dont make all of our jokes about killing gays..... Some gassing jews..... And sheep fucking amish.......

I was just shown this and was asked to share my POV. [linebreak] [linebreak] So the baseline of what I understood is that she associates with EVERY woman displayed anywhere. So if a woman is stupid, shy or subserviant, she feels insulted. [linebreak] [linebreak] And my point was: everyone is an individual, you are not all of those women. [linebreak] [linebreak] And then she said that I should also feel bad if there is a stupid man in a movie, but I have no point to feel that way. I am not that guy. [linebreak] [linebreak] Originally all stick figures in the game were male and it was also perceived as that by many, so I decided to put in female stick figures as well. So her perception that they look genderless was not shared by most. [linebreak] [linebreak] In Supraland there are a few dumb teeny fangirls admiring a suprastar. That was the worst moment for her. She says that all women in the game are weak. She ignored that the main woman, the queen, is more dominant than both of the kings and is showing them the way, and she is also ordering the player around. [linebreak] [linebreak] So it seems that she wants all women to be strong and dominant. But the thing is, what hormons people run on is different from case to case. Depending on what happened to you in your life you run on different hormons. For example when a woman loses her man, she usually becomes more masculine to be able to survive and she becomes more feminine again when she gets a man again. [linebreak] [linebreak] Some women run on masculine hormones and are the tough ones. Many women are very feminine and enjoy being subserviant - and because of that nature they have no voice in public, because only dominant more masculine women are so extrovert to raise their voice. That is probably the reason for the disconnect between the media and the people. [linebreak] [linebreak] Same thing for men - many men are more on the feminine side and soft and also have a hard time in this society with it. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] And my point of view in general: let everyone be just the way they are and let them do whatever they want. Don't force feminine people into being masculine, don't force masculine people into being feminine. Everyone is an individual. +I would be astonished and baffled at a lot of stuff too if I made shit up that didn't match reality. +Try to find a friend team to play with.

She got the house she wanted. She got the cars she wanted. I did all of the housework. I did all of the yard work. I learned to cut down tall trees and turn them into small logs for her. I learned to repair cars for her. I took her wherever she wanted go. Plays, vacations, concerts, art shows, festivals. Some days I would actually sit on the riding mower and think about how lucky I was. [linebreak] [linebreak] Then my wife suffered an aneurysm. I spent 10 days shuttling between the hospital with my wife and the home with our kids. Whatever she wanted I brought to her. Whatever the kids needed, they got. The balls stayed in the air. [linebreak] [linebreak] In the months following her release, I took care of her like a nanny. Whatever she wanted she got. She wanted a new car. We got her the top of the line package. She wanted a new TV. She wanted a new laptop. She wanted new clothes and a new kitchen. Done and done and done and done and done. [linebreak] [linebreak] She entered peri-menopause. Everything that she could not control became Enemy. She became paranoid. She obsessed over the minutes between my end of work and when I got home. She obsessed over my daily mileage. An extra tenth of a mile or an extra minute meant that I was fucking the neighbor. She claimed that I tricked her into buying the new car and the new kitchen when she was weak. We did not have sex for the final three years of cohabitation. [linebreak] [linebreak] The kids began to suffer. She became increasingly volatile and violent. Many times I came home to a broken interior door or a hole in a wall. If I was home I had to be ready to get between my wife and my children at the drop of a hat. He rmother pleaded with her to get professional help. Our pastor pleaded with her to seek professional help. I agreed to see a therapist with her and, after our third session, the therapist told her that she should seek help from a PhD level neuropsychologist. [linebreak] [linebreak] Eventually the kids moved out of the house. She demanded that I remove them from my will. She demanded that I stop supporting them in any way. I was to stop their annual gifts. i was to stop paying for their health insurance. She threatened to call my HR department, pretending to be me, and remove them from my benefits. She stole tens of thousands of dollars from their accounts and was charged with multiple felonies. My children asked the prosecutor to go lightly on their mother and the charges were dropped after she returned their money. [linebreak] [linebreak] Eventually she filed for a TRO because she claimed that I was stalking her. I moved out and filed for divorce. [linebreak] [linebreak] I have offered to give her everything. The house that is nearly paid off and easily sold or refinanced. The cars that are paid off. Every single piece of movable property. All I want in return is my retirement. I just want to be shut of her. She refuses to respond to my offer. [linebreak] [linebreak] She has filed for disablilty benefits so that she can receive spousal support. She has filed for multiple TROs, all denied. Denied but costly to the defendant. If one stuck I would probably lose my job. [linebreak] She is hell-bent on bankrupting me even though it bankrupts her, too.

It's because in tragic situations like that, conservatives are generally able to restrain themselves from resorting to "whataboutism" and trying to redirect the public focus to other things that fit a narrative. You just don't see that kind of restraint as often on the left. [linebreak] [linebreak] Even when antifa does things that are undoubtedly horrible and can't possibly be justified or defended, then if nothing else the left will try to shift the focus away and demand that people remember all the bad things that right-wing extremists have done instead. +Well, it worked for the Raptors... +UK Anon attacked by Mooslooms +Damn sounds cool +Everything's a theory. +Sure, but that's not what OP's post was about lmao +*points to flair* [linebreak] [linebreak] Yeah, I know.

I think that they were different before that too. However what got me into Reddit was the atheism subreddit which gave me solidarity and made me feel like I wasn't alone at the time in my lack of religion.

I'd be soo damn infuriated that it would propel me out of suicide and give me a reason to live again. Your dad is a sorry excuse for a man saying that to his suicidal child. Disgusting. I can set a standard that makes him an irrelevant worm in comparison too. But that isn't fair, is it? [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] If I were you: "Oh alright. Well then, with that, our "relationship" has actually just ended. I will no longer speak to you again nor ask you for help. Since you seem nonchalant about my existence in this world, goodbye. Don't speak unless it is in an apologetic manner for the absolute filth you just hurled at me. As for the financial matter, thank you for stating the terms of business. I'll work out a way to sustain myself, since you both have made yourselves abundantly clear. I do not and will not expect monetary aid from you. Thank you." [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm in a similar place as you. Both of my parents are acting insane, though one of them actually is a sociopath. And yes I've had suicidal thoughts on and off almost my whole life. My sociopath parent has plenty of money, houses, etc. We've never had a relationship except when I was a baby(doesn't count). I've literally told this parent to not put me in their will. It was to send a message. What's that message? [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Money isn't love, and I don't need that from you. I never needed it. I needed a parent, but now it's too late and I'm indifferent(or more accurately don't WANT a relationship). Just like you've been my entire life. If you don't have an innate desire out of your own heart to help your own child, then I absolutely do NOT want anything at all from you. I don't accept blood money. Period. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Leave your parents house ASAP. I'm telling you. I waited too long, don't be like me. Do it NOW. You won't heal/grow properly unless you do. They're probably the ones making you suicidal. Leave and rely on yourself if you have to. That's what I'm doing right now and it feels awesome. If you have to wait and save up money for college I say it's worth it. The satisfaction of not taking a dime from your parent that doesn't care if you exist is priceless. Be independent ASAP. You have innate worth and dignity just by virtue of being a human being. You need to respect yourself too, and know that you have worth. Just because they are your parents, that does not give them impunity to hurl crap at you without consequences. Stand up for yourself, respectfully. Be confident you're in the right and don't let anger consume you. You have value, and are valued, and nobody can take that away. Work however much it takes to get out. Once you're independent and floating your own boat, reexamine your suicidal thoughts if they're there still. I know it sounds kinda dumb but literally tell your suicide to take a back seat and do this task first. I can guarantee you will AT LEAST feel better, and maybe not suicidal anymore. Process of elimination, eliminate the two glaring suspects. Don't keep debating within yourself like "Oh maybe I can stay longer and they will treat me better" etc. In your heart of hearts you know whether or not your living environment is toxic to your mental health.

She was physically disabled with a birth defect, although she had a college degree and was mostly independent. But she never dated, never had relationships. She was extremely lonely and isolated. She was in so much physical pain as well, and was completely addicted to pain medication. (oxycontin, etc) This is after a lifetime of surgeries (over 75-80 of them) and hospital stays. Unlike most with severe mental disabilities, my sister KNEW how screwed up her life was. She HATED it. She contemplated suicide several times. She had to be on antidepressants, go through therapy. I can't even imagine what would have happened to her if she had been born to a family who couldn't have afforded the best for her. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] The point of all of this is this. As a sister of a loved one who had to call life and death....literally...3 times for my sister's life and watch her go through hell and back, there is no way in hell I would ever NOT abort a fetus if I found out my baby had the same disability. And yes, we had to screen carefully when I was pregnant as I have 2 siblings with this disability. (the other sibling died as an infant) I live in a state passing a heartbeat law, and it pisses me off to no end that these religious political zealots put no value on the quality of life. I would never want any loved one of mine going through what my sister went through. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I have family members who post shit on Facebook every day, praising these new laws. I want to smack them, or call them out. These are the same damn family members who didn't visit my sister ever when she needed them most. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I miss her every, single day. And I'm so grateful she has found peace now. +I didn't vote for Trump either. I just know stupid bullshit and brainwashing when I see it! +Jerck off +This is why we need full auto ARs with extended mags.

She also happens to like this singer so I asked her if she wanted to go with me as a date. [linebreak] [linebreak] Okay [linebreak] [linebreak] > I said I can book us a hotel room and we can spend the night together. [linebreak] [linebreak] oof [linebreak] [linebreak] > Nowhere do I even say that we have to share a bed...

Phones are generally banned and only limited broadcast entertainment permitted. After three years in 'maximum' confinement, some prisoners may be transferred to a less restrictive prison. **The aim is to encourage "reasonably peaceful behavior" from the most violent 'career' prisoners.** [linebreak] [linebreak] Which quack reasoned that to be true? That won't work, it will only make them more miserable. Or you can take that as they become emotionally stunted like a zombie.. +Well, yes but actually no +Maybe you can take her to the concert and stare wistfully across the hotel room at her? +I suppose it's just a visceral reaction. Like my aversion to coprophilia or bestiality. I find the concept of two men sodomising each other to be sickening. Honestly, I don't care what people do in the privacy of their own homes, within reason. If two men want to practice homosexuality in private, then that's their concern. But I object to the normalisation of homosexuality because I think that it's a revolting tendency which should not be considered normal or healthy, nor should it form a part of accepted society. I despise transsexualism because it is clearly a form of mental illness, and accepting it enables it. +>Also it's kinda gross [linebreak] [linebreak] >Grow up [linebreak] [linebreak] Pick one.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [We know the motivation is there, from their holy book](https://imgur.com/a/4c3JDw7). +How dare you report someone for shit content +Unlike others, I won't share details that were supposed to remain between mods. I will say that, in fairness and to set a record straight, that I was told I could remain a mod, with all the responsibilities of doing the dirty work no one wants to do (like coding, going over the volumes of reported posts made in a day, and trying to keep the peace); but, I wouldn't be allowed to post anything. Without talking to me, really, they decided that any mod posts, except for theirs, would need consensus from the group (which isn't a bad idea...) starting at that moment (after it never being a thing before). I was being demoted a punished for a post that didn't violate the TOS and I pointed that out. I was told that I was then being limited because I engaged some of the comments and two old guard members were upset. As I said, it is what it is and I wish the subreddit well, I'm just not ok with how it was handled and am disappointed that, after never being sanctioned and never having been reported by ANYONE until that day, suddenly, there were problems. I wish everyone on that forum well. +Worst. Noose. Ever. +GOOD NEWS: Pakistan is pregnant again.. +I posted this on another subreddit and no one got it +At this time in my life, considering all that's occurred in my life, I'm pretty sure I'm what you would classify as asexual. No desire for sexual contact or sexual relationships. The concept of sex alone makes me uncomfortable. [linebreak] [linebreak] This makes it hard to have any discussions about my current relationship with my girlfriend because the people in my life that I love dearly keep telling me that "I don't know what I'm missing" and "You'll change your mind after you have sex for the first time" like no you guys aren't understanding I don't WANT to have sex and they just can't understand the concept. [linebreak] [linebreak] My mother claims it makes no sense, and that my natural desire as a human being should be to breed and it's just frustrating because otherwise my family are wonderful people. It just frustrates me sometimes, and then I feel bad because asexuality is so uncommon that no, they shouldn't immediately understand it. [linebreak] [linebreak] But I hope they can, even if they don't understand it, at least support me and my feelings sometime down the line. I won't lose sleep or hate them or anything but I would like to not hear "You just don't know yet" anymore. +[OC] Why is youtube like that?

Since there is no animation industry in my country I'm working hard to go out and taking freelance from abroad is a huge help as my country asks for quantity over quality and it already has a bad rep and is not good for the portfolio. [linebreak] [linebreak] So,2 days ago I got a reply from the same university, from being rejected I'm now selected in the university and I'm more than happy. Leaving this country will slingshot me out there which I'm definitely positive about. [linebreak] [linebreak] And I've taken your words, much appreciated for the comment. It helped me motivate evem more. About the linkedin thing, I'll try that too. [linebreak] [linebreak] Thanks again! +I'm not into football but the typical Indian *uber* crowd is only into European clubs and most probably most football fans don't even know the captain of Indian football team.

You were **born** with a sex. Male or Female. And don't drag out Intersex ... Intersex conditions are sex-linked. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you believe then you are a sex other than the one you were born as and **don't** experience Dysphoria what are you complaining about?

Could you add a couple more dramatic threads in the write-up? I will re-approve it once it you have done so. Just reply to this comment once you have. +Nah there isn't anything to play off but different cultures i suppose. Our parents clip our ear for being cheeky but they would be disappointed if we werent a bit lippy. +This kids is what mental illness looks like.

I still don't find it insulting or offensive. In fact, I agree, it's fucking scary, because, old treatments for mental illness Were fucking scary. the illness not so much, the people, not so much... but the doctors... yeah. +The Milkshake Menace Continues +This is what marketing people call 'razors and blades'. The profit margin is in the blades, but you don't make any money off of them if you don't have a good razor. For theaters, the movies are the razors and concessions the blades. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's technically correct to say they "make more" off concessions, but you can't sell a $10 bucket of popcorn if you don't have a good movie playing at the same time, so on the whole it's misleading. +Low effort meme. +I'm not giving my guns up.

Still, judging by the number of upvotes, the moderators were not really prompt in doing their job. +So what is the purpose of rpics if you cant post pics there? [linebreak] [linebreak] And how does Reddit not being FB justify being an asshole? +No, I know how you feel. My family was the family that respected my friends more than their families..

The only times I've seen things people really mix things from the book with historical fact in that sub are, zhuge Liang's inventions being treated as facts, liu beis usurpation of Tao qians faction being taken from the book, the characterization of guanyu as being one the second best duelist in the period(nobody actually knows). Whenever the baby throwing or cannibalism pops up and somebody doesn't know if they are fictional events somebody in /r/totalwar usually clarifies that they are fictional pretty quick. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] edit: Just for clarification Liu bei did usurp Tao Qian's faction in real life. In the books he was asked to do it and refused multiple times. In reality it was more like a coup and he initially refused out of political considerations. +Wasn't the issue that TD didn't moderate enough of its shit?

Like, the quality of generals and tactician he has access to is just insanely stacked. [linebreak] [linebreak] Zhaoyun is a legendary general. He is not as famous as lu bu in the west, but he is far more famous of a character in East Asia and is basically a lu bu tier martial warrior that is the perfect knight. Think galahad. From Arthurian legends. The way he is potrsyrd, dude is as invincible of a warrior as lu bu, but without the treachery. [linebreak] [linebreak] So he risked his life and fraught through a whole army single handed to get his lord's son back. Liu bei was so touched by his action that he felt nothing could be worth risking such a loyal man of talent. Him throwing his son to the ground is an outburst of emotion over how grateful he is to the general. He didn't actually throw him, he got stopped in time (or Zhao Yun caught the baby). Either way, a baby wasn't hurt [linebreak] [linebreak] Literary analysis of the scene is actually pretty interesting, since there is a school of thought that presumes Liu bei to be a master manipulator. A guy who knows how to get the best people to be loyal to him. From that perspective, he did what he did to put on a show for Zhao Yun. [linebreak] [linebreak] Also, remeber that romance of the 3k basically fiction. +Hey! Some of them only help OTHER people kill brown children +if you would pay to have sex with someone like cardi b, you deserve to get drugged and robbed. no sympathy for these men +They ran a cartoon a few weeks back that could be straight out of Der Stormer.. nothing surprises me about that fucking yellow rag anymore.

That's why I asked them. Some people (non-disabled) just want someone to provide for them so they don't have to be adults. (Again, not implying.) [linebreak] [linebreak] With that being said, I do understand the long haul thing. Of course, we all want that. It's human fucking nature. And it sucks that you got your heart broken. I have too. And for similar reasons. [linebreak] [linebreak] I read through your posts and I realize you're just ranting, and that this is the place for that. Catharsis is good. But I really was looking for clarification on your point of view. [linebreak] [linebreak] And to also say like these other folks that I really do get it, and that you're not alone. +He didn't make a miscarriage joke, or a joke about women that can't be pregnant, so none of that was even remotely relevant. +bad influence!!

[linebreak] [linebreak] The problem I have with this is that he's saying he wants his girlfriend to put in more effort for him, than a random woman did. [linebreak] [linebreak] Why should I do more for him, when a random woman got to fuck him with like zero effort on her part?! [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't want to do more knowing we could've had sex without all the extras. I love oral as much as he does for example, but I don't like having different rules vs his hookups. I told him this, and he basically got angry. I'm not sure what to say next or if I'll even date him.

The typology pretty much assumes that everyone is either 100% straight or 100% gay, and just realllly fucked up sexually when it comes to kinks. [linebreak] [linebreak] Personally, I'd say that with the inclusion of tumblrite AAP gaydens and the acknowledgement of bisexuality being a reason for potential AGP/AAP behavior due to a wider spectrum of attractive features leading to a fetishization of one's own attractive features, it would be a nigh-on perfect system. +There are two kinds of hard - [linebreak] [linebreak] Ahem, let me rephrase that.

[linebreak] [linebreak] One reply: [linebreak] [linebreak] > In a communist system, there should be alternative ways for you to take such an initiative. There should be institutions setup to make sure you have the resources and labor power necessary to accomplish your productive/distributive goals. This would massively increase innovation and creativity within society and allow for the complete transition to full communism. Until we setup these kinds of institutions, full communism remains theoretical. [linebreak] [linebreak] So hiring workers in a normal capitalist system isn't adequate enough; therefore government has to step in, and possibly force workers in there if necessary. [linebreak] [linebreak] But having an "adequate" number of workers means that the owner no longer owns the means of production ... [linebreak] [linebreak] That proposal is not only insanely inefficient and counterproductive, but it also provides an excuse for the government to steal the owner's stuff and enslave him or her some more.

They remark that gender is just a social construct, invalidating their own made up identities. [linebreak] And the only difference with a transgender person is they're constantly pumping their body with hormone replacement and have gone through surgery to look like the other gender. Biologically, they're still the gender they were born as. [linebreak] Most transgenders have more mental issues than just gender dysphoria, many normally have bipolar and other personality disorders to go along with it. Yet it's "transphobic" to point out the natural observation that their mindset isn't a healthy one.

If the cops try to stop me, I'll threaten to kill myself as I throw White People's guts at them.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Piece of shit. +I'm pretty sure it was the male audience bashing and the ridiculous "what's that? It's the patriarchy raining on our parade" jokes that plastered Captain Marvel with the "SJW pandering" reputation. [linebreak] [linebreak] Wonder Woman and Alita, both superior films as far as advancing women into lead roles in healthy ways, were also minorly criticized at first - some felt Gal Gadot wasn't the right actress for the job, some mocked the CGI eyes in Alita. The difference was that the people behind those 2 films realized that some people are just gonna be dicks and kept on focusing on their advertising on people they hadn't reached yet. Seems that kind of professionalism where you just don't go batshit psycopath on people giving you the slightest criticism is a lost art among the major entertainment companies these days unfortunately. +As I learned from this thread, it's because he sucks +Yeah it makes you wonder if there could be a future where businesses are dictated by political parties, some sort of weird dystopia +Well if you're already insecure.. +This is my unironic thoughts as well. +For the record, not all atheists are douchebags.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Also, I understand that because of your upbringing having someone "take your virginity" can be a big deal, but know that just because you had sex with someone it doesn't make you less worthy. The emotional turmoil is strong, I'm well aware, but not being a virgin anymore doesn't make you a slut or whatever. [linebreak] [linebreak] To me the emotional side of the story far, far outweighs the physiological slight change. A hymen maketh not the good woman. [linebreak] [linebreak] Rape victims aren't debauched people. You've been abused, deceived, to me you're in a situation closer to having been raped than just dumped. Do not let this experience define you. [linebreak] [linebreak] I suggest you read about the psychology of the raped person, you *weren't* raped but I think you may find info not completely irrelevant to what you're going through atm. [linebreak] [linebreak] You take care girl, you'll be fine. Keep on going in your philosophical path, to me it's fine if you remain a believer as long as that doesn't make you hurt others or yourself. But don't go around thinking you owe your family or a future bf / husband to remain a Christian, a virgin etc. You do you. [linebreak] [linebreak] Peace prevails. +Yeah cause Londoner are really going to go for cow tripe, chicken feet, and stinky tofu.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I made the mistake of telling them this when they were yelling at me about wasting my time and being lazy and getting bad grades and I'm not shitting you my dad told me "well if you're gonna be lazy and just waste space in the world you might as well do it." I'm not even doing that poorly. I have all A's and a B. And the B is in fucking physics for pre med college students, it's hard. [linebreak] [linebreak] And they actually asked me *why* I'm suicidal. I just fucking am I can't help it it's been like this for 5 years but it's been a lot worse recently. Then my dad fucking turns to my mom and asks her why she was suicidal in high school and she says "because my parents didn't love me or care about me and put me in dangerous situations, and I didn't tell anyone I just attempted but failed," and then turns back to me and says "what's your excuse? do you really think we don't love you or something?" Like I'm sorry I'm losing the My Life is Hard competition but I can't just stop feeling like this. And then he finishes up with "you won't actually do it. you're too selfish." Honestly fuck my life at this point. [linebreak] [linebreak] I started crying and told them I just want some support right now and my dad said "you really think we don't give you fucking support" and went on some tangent about how hard his life is because of me and how much he does to support me like no I'm talking about right now this topic I just want you to tell me it's gonna be okay. [linebreak] [linebreak] All of this was after a like glorious 2 month period of my parents being really nice to me then they hit me with all this shit. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm so hurt and starting to think I can't be around them anymore.

Yesterday outside the vet office was my worst one, where a dog ran up to me off leash barking and not quite growling so I got into an aggressive stance and yelled "Hey" a couple times at it while it stood in front of me barking and moving around trying to decide if it wanted to run towards or away from me.

Unfortunately acknowledging the actual problems confronting men are largely caused by patriarchy is a non-starter for a lot of men. +No, there are plenty of lazy and dumb women.

Literally the only thing I asked the new mods when they took over the sub was that I wanted no leg humping or fawning over the family. The Duggars get praise everywhere the idea was that the sub was one place they wouldn't get any. As the sub grew however the posts started to change. A lot of more sympathetic posts appeared and instead of hiding them or whatever people started badgering the mods and arguing with each other. There are four other subs to discuss the Duggars and yet people insist on going on r/duggarssnark. I don't get it. One of the mods was harassed so much they left. There is now constant trolling for absolutely no reason. [linebreak] [linebreak] I do think a big issue is that people don't get how reddit works. You can hide posts and block people, downvotes and upvotes mean nothing. I get downvoted all the time, I don't agree with some of the posts so I hide them. Am I neutral? No because there once again 4 other subs on reddit, facebook groups, instagram accounts, forums etc. that are neutral.

It is easy to be isolated, refused, frail, and to think you have had all the time in the world to know how things work. It is easy to let the hatred or spite that grows from the feeling of injustice get the better of you. It is also easy to let yourself down.

[linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] Good things will come for you once you let yourself open. But to let yourself open you need not to let yourself down, not to think you understand the world, relationships and partners as well as you might do, and especially, you need to take the risk of losing time and offering yourself a chance with people that might not appear as commited as you wish, even if it is not what you think you want. +jannies aren't people +When I vacation I go to the south because the people are so nice there, regardless of race, sex, anything!

Fine, EdD, a professor of education at California State Polytechnic Institute in Pomona and editor of the "Handbook on Animal-assisted Therapy: Foundations and Guidelines for Animal-assisted Interventions" (2015)... [linebreak] >>But psychologists shouldn't write such letters cavalierly, say experts who have examined the issue. Because writing such letters could damage the therapeutic relationship, psychologists shouldn't write them for their own patients. And even forensic psychologists should tread carefully. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's not all fantastic and there are difficulties. Universities in particular are almost never set up for animals and they are seeing a large increase of ESA requests. [linebreak] [linebreak] There's also the issue where you can basically just go online and get an order for one, without ever really meeting or seeing the person who writes you a letter. I've seen some sites require a "quick phone call" and some that don't even require that. [linebreak] [linebreak] Considering the benefits, I think ESAs are an overall great thing. Even though there are obstacles or issues that have come up, it's worth tackling them and trying to find solutions rather than abolish the program or hate them out of spite because some people abuse the program like the posters in the OP. [linebreak] [linebreak] We can reduce "ESA fraud" if that's what we want to call it, but I think it's worth taking the effort to minimize harm to innocents while closing any loopholes or making changes to the program. [linebreak] [linebreak] The university situation in particular is interesting. In a lot of dorms things are already cramped and diseases can spread quickly.

She even killed our ~600 day snapchat streak a few months ago for practically no reason. Sometimes she'll randomly send me a meme or two on Facebook and I'll try to start a conversation with her, but 95% of the time the conversation ends with her leaving me on read. [linebreak] [linebreak] Sometimes, I'll see C's other friends around on campus and they'll ask me if I've ever heard from C, because they haven't. Because of this I know this isn't something C's just doing to me, but she's doing this to all her friends. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm happy that C is happy in her relationship, but I'm hurt that she's practically cut off myself and all of her other friends. Since I'm graduating in a few months, I want to spend as much time with all of my friends as possible before I leave campus.

The Germans, he told him, had begun shelling Red Army positions along the frontier. Stalin refused to believe that a full-scale invasion was under way. Surely, he told a small gathering of civilian and military leaders in Moscow later in the morning, Hitler did not know about it. There must be a conspiracy among the leaders of the German armed forces. It was only when the German Ambassador, Count Friedrich Werner von der Schulenburg, met Foreign Minister Molotov in the Kremlin to hand over the German declaration of war that Stalin recognized he had been duped by Hitler. Initially shocked, embarrassed and disoriented, Stalin soon pulled himself together. On 23 June 1941 he worked at his desk in the Kremlin from 3.20 in the morning to 6.25 in the evening, gathering information and making the necessary arrangements for the creation of a Supreme Command to take charge of operations. As the days went by, he became increasingly dispirited by the scale and speed of the German advance. At the end of June, he left for his dacha, saying, in his inimitably coarse way, 'Everything's lost. I give up. Lenin founded our state and we've fucked it up.' He made no address to the Soviet people, he did not talk to his subordinates, he did not even answer the phone. German planes, indeed, dropped leaflets over the Red Army lines claiming that he was dead. When a delegation from the Politburo arrived at the dacha, they found Stalin slumped in an armchair. 'Why have you come?' he asked. With a thrill of terror, two members of the delegation, Mikoyan and Beria, realized he thought they had come to arrest him. [linebreak] [linebreak] And gave the famous speech, rallying the soviet population behind him. [linebreak] [linebreak] > Within a few days of retreating to his dacha in despair, Stalin recovered his nerve, if indeed he had really lost it. Some thought he had retreated into temporary isolation like Ivan the Terrible centuries before, to demonstrate his indispensability. A State Defence Committee was set up, with Stalin himself in the chair. His retreat had given him the chance to rethink his role. On 3 July 1941, the same day that Franz Halder confided to his diary his belief that victory had already been achieved by the German forces, Stalin spoke to the Soviet people over the radio, for the first time not as Communist dictator but as patriotic leader. 'Brothers and sisters,' he said, 'friends!' This was an entirely new note. He went so far as to admit that the Red Army had been unprepared for the attack. The Germans, he said, were 'wicked and perfidious . . . heavily armed with tanks and artillery'. But they would not prevail. The Soviet people had to organize civil defence and mobilize every ounce of energy to defeat the enemy. It was necessary to form partisan groups behind the lines to cause as much damage and disruption as possible. Silence, lies and evasion, people felt, had at last been replaced with some kind of truth. Communist Party propaganda began to emphasize the defence not of the revolution but of the motherland. The party newspaper, Pravda ('Truth'), dropped the slogan 'Workers of the World, Unite!' from its masthead and replaced it with 'Death to the German Invaders!' Nikolai Moskvin noted on 30 September 1941 that 'the mood of the local population has changed sharply'. From constantly threatening to betray him to the Germans, they came round to the patriotic cause after learning that the occupation authorities were keeping the collective farms going because it made it easier to collect the grain for transporting back to Germany. [linebreak] [linebreak] > The speech's patriotic appeal was all the more powerful because people were already beginning to learn the bitter realities of German occupation. Stories of the horrors of the prisoner-of-war camps mingled with eyewitness reports of the mass shooting of civilians and the burning of villages by German troops to produce in the still-retreating ranks of the Red Army a determination to fight the enemy that had been almost entirely absent in the first chaotic days of the war. When the city of Kursk fell, the Germans arrested all the healthy male inhabitants, penned them into open barbed-wire enclosures without food or water, and then put them to work, guarded by Germans wielding rubber truncheons. 'The streets are empty,' noted a Soviet intelligence report. 'The shops have been looted. There is no mains water and no electricity. Kursk has collapsed.' +It's not saying these things are equally bad lmao why is that hard to grasp +Arnub got angry +But Indian minorities and Secular Hindus would.

He didn't come across with another date until he found someone he thought was interested in him. She did wrong but he also did when he made arrangements with her knowing she was the backup in case he didn't find someone better. They both wanted what they wanted and were unwilling to possibly do without in order to treat another person kindly. [linebreak] [linebreak] He could have said that their arrangements to go together were contingent on whether he found a person that was dating material to go with him. That's fine. You have to think that some women are told guys are just going to use them for sex, so finding out a guy doesn't want to do something friendly together when he doesn't think he will score bugs some women. Like being friend zoned does for men. [linebreak] [linebreak] They both did wrong, but I think she was the one with the most responsibility because she shouldn't have accepted the offer if she didn't want to date him. +If it had been a joke about ice cream they would be singing a different tune as well.

I don't think you are a loser :) [linebreak] [linebreak] I think by making this post it shows you do want to change, and by having regret over not doing things at the end of the year it shows you want to change as well. That is important, if you don't really have the drive to grow, then you aren't going to. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't know where you live, but perhaps there is a community center, or a park? A place for you to walk? Going to a center or a park where there are people could help you make friends, and get exercise as well. If you don't know how to break the ice with someone, giving them a compliment might work, or asking them a question about something they have with them (like, "oh that's a cool phone, what kind is it?"). Take the conversation from there (if they seem comfortable with the confrontation). You can't make friends if you don't put yourself out there at least a little. [linebreak] [linebreak] I also don't know your interests, but go to places where you can find people with similar ones. If you go to a store that has things that interest you, even talking to the employees could help. They probably have an interest in the thing too, and they have to be welcoming to customers, so it is good practice to try talking to them if you are still uncomfortable with the idea of making friends. Also, chatting with people online leads to more practice as well as online friends that can be there for you! [linebreak] [linebreak] For losing weight, start simple. Don't tell yourself you are going to start going to the gym everyday if you don't think you will, and don't feel bad for knowing how much you can or can't handle. Again, I don't know how chubby you are, but you know yourself. Take a walk everyday, introduce one healthy food into your life (or take away one unhealthy food) every week if diet is a problem for you. And let yourself have a cheat day, it can help you in the long run. If you are scared to work out in public, buy some weights of your own and watch some Netflix while lifting them. Make it somewhat enjoyable so you stick with it, so ooh don't get discouraged for not wanting to follow through. I believe in you!

Have you by any chance heard the term "Highly Sensitive Person"? We (I am one as well) are a real thing, it's determined by your nervous system, which in HSPs is more developed than average. Almost 20% of people are HSP's and also there happen to be highly sensitive ones among animals. It serves a purpose, because they are more sensitive not only emotionally, but also sensually, so they are more likely to notice if something is wrong. Highly sensitive animals are the guards because of that. It used be so with humans before we could depend on technology to be safe and sound. Anyway, I consider high sensibility as some super power and with great power comes great responsibility.

I asked ParkRanger about banning and she said something really vague about some people being banned for shady reasons during all the turmoil, and that she was willing to revisit those bans yet she wouldn't confirm who was doing the questionable banning. I don't know if it was her, Trailangel, or some other mod. But she did reinstate some people who had been banned. Who knows! I think at this point if the mods don't reign in the people who started the drama (who Trailangel called the old guard) things will continue to spiral. But I think the old guard folks have too much power and influence with the mods so there is unlikely to be any action taken against the people who are stirring up the drama & so the drama will continue. +They also unironically used organizational money to go stalk Null from Kiwifarms +Trusted and actually telling the truth are two different things.

[linebreak] [linebreak] My whole issue with this is it's true that most of the last several generations 'get the majority of their news' from the daily show. It's probably caused a bigger partisan riff between the parties than Fox news. [linebreak] You then try to point out the in accuracies, when they lie, their bias etc and are greeted with 'it's just a comedy show' from the same people that treat it as the most trusted source in news. +But if we're talking about farms and orchards and factories won't that cause an increase in the costs of basic staple items, making it harder for poor people or people on fixed incomes to buy them? +Th is should be sanity cause it's true.

[linebreak] [linebreak] So yeah, don't twist words. +Thats totally valid. Even the sensitive people have tells that something is much more serious than usual, for example if completely shutting down instead of crying is very abnormal you might take that more seriously. Anytime anyone has signs of distress that are very abnormal it should be taken more seriously than your regular having a bad day/getting your feelings hurt.

They're all ideological echo chamber designed to keep "the wrong ideas" out of the spotlight. [linebreak] [linebreak] That said, this blog does a shitty job of characterizing the responses they received. The bioresearcher didn't say animal studies were unreliable. That was the author's interpretation of their response. They said that animal testing has known limitations. There's a huge difference between "unreliable" and "has known limitations." Going on to call the respondent a "vivisectionist" didn't help their case any, either. There's no way the author could know that the respondent actually cut animals open as part of their work. Using the term was just an attempt at emotional manipulation while personally attacking the respondent. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'd like to see the threads in question to be certain, but based on the blog post itself it sounds like the author went in with an ax to grind and pissed everyone of from the word go. It's no wonder they were being accused if being a preachy vegan. +The only thing that can't touch Heatran is your attidude +shouldn't it be ourstory?

Do you forget the value the tower had while it existed? Why is it meaningless because it has a time limit? What about the work completed there, or the shelter derived from it, or the lives lived benefitting from it? And when the knowledge or materials or skills that went into building that tower are passed on to build another tower, and another tower after that, doesn't that make the first tower meaningful as well? [linebreak] [linebreak] Returning to the topic of this thread, even if your life has a time limit, some use their lives to create more life. Life is meaningful, but limited. Creating more life from your life is just one of many ways to create meaning beyond your time limit... but doesn't negate that your life is meaningful even within it's time limit. +Four year olds do not use nappies. +Apparently they think if they keep calling her all of these great things she will eventually become it.

Because she's spent a career trying to curb stomp our most basic fundamental rights.

It's a messy landscape, and to be perfectly honest the way that a lot of news outlets have come to write stories on what controversial tweet is trending is garbage reporting and absolutely lazy. +It's the complete lack of banter about them.

Cao Cao's character is greatly informed by his orders and actions, alternately being merciful or merciless, generous or greedy, piously adoring or rebelliously denouncing his superiors as is most expedient in the shrewdness of the moment. He simply has no underlying morality, though this is not unique among the novel's main characters. What may make Cao so infamous is not only how successful this made him, but also that he made fewer oblations to filial piety part of his core public identity. His greatest rivals, the Suns and Wu, the Yuans, Shu, all make high profile acts of familial devotion and their close relationships (also often quite shrewd) PR talking points everywhere, Cao Cao does not bother except as necessary and expedient. [linebreak] [linebreak] For example, Shu plays a constant shell game of political heat between the oath brothers and they become masters at it. The most notable time Cao does something similar is at the very end of his life, where he orchestrates a quick shuffle with his son where Cao Cao formally deposes the Emperor and installs Cao Pi shortly before his death, then the new Emperor posthumously pardons and recognizes his father as the actual first Emperor of their dynasty. +That sub won't even let me post there to get myself banned.

His level of conservation activism still remains unmatched. Fuck off PETA you hypocritical, lying scum. +I think the OP has the theory that Pikachu is popular because it's always portrayed as being a faithful always-loyal companion. The theory is that since "everyone is sad and lonely", they've been brainwashed into loving Pikachu because Pikachu is portrayed as being an eternal friend. [linebreak] [linebreak] Further, they're arguing that this is similar to the way conspiracy-style communities recruit people. As that [flat-earther documentary on Netflix](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8132700/) showed, a major recruiting point for 'crazy' groups is the companionship of a community. Lonely people often gravitate towards these kinds of groups because they're more willing to accept outsiders, and are more tolerant of deviant behaviour. [linebreak] [linebreak] That in itself is accurate, but using it to describe why people like Pikachu is pretty crazy. People like Pikachu because it's a cute critter, which is brave, fun to watch, and (usually) reminds us of our childhoods. +you realy think some backwatercell should have the right to vote? +The whole thing was so silly. As an April Fool's joke, sure. Go nuts. But to keep doing it for the purpose of raising awareness was a waste of time.

Martha Stewart began showing Oprah a very efficient way to maneuver a bed sheet, and asked Oprah to grap one corner of the bed sheet. Sensing she didn't have the spatial ability to perform the task competently and not wanting to look foolish in front of millions of TV viewers, Oprah was forced to adapt. Instead of grabbing the corner of the sheet, Oprah spontaneously ran to the audience to grab a Martha Stewart fan.

[linebreak] [linebreak] This started a few years ago, when I was big into writing fanfic - something I'm trying to get myself back into eventually. I write for a fairly niche fandom; it's not *small,* but it's also not terribly active these days, either. I'd made a few acquaintances through it, either way. [linebreak] [linebreak] One of these was a woman roughly my age - let's call her "Jill." We kind of hit it off, being active and discussing the series on one of the message boards; we liked and left feedback on each others' stories, chatted a bit in private. We bonded over personal stuff, a bit, too. And for the curious, this was a platonic thing - I'm a gay guy, she's a straight(?) married woman. [linebreak] [linebreak] Anyway, we wind up being friends on Facebook, and I think that may be where the trouble started. [linebreak] [linebreak] Thing is... I know what it's like to *be* clingy. I've had to deal with the fallout from it in the past, and it's something I've really tried to work on, something I get very self-conscious about whenever I make a new friend. In the past, I've had friends who would say nothing about it until they reached a breaking point, and then they'd be pretty harsh about it when the dam finally broke. [linebreak] [linebreak] The point of this is that... Jill was quite clingy herself. It came about pretty quickly after a certain point. Like, within less than half a year of our knowing each other. [linebreak] [linebreak] She knew my working hours, but she'd constantly message me to talk when she knew I'd be sleeping, or getting ready to go to work, or *at* work. Or when she knew I was trying to take time to myself to do something else - gaming, writing, whatever. Sometimes I'd talk a bit, or tell her I'd talk to her later when I had a chance (like if I needed to get ready for work, or bed, or something). If we went more than a few days without talking too much, regardless of the reason, she'd kind of guilt trip me over it. "I missed talking to you," "It feels like it's been so long since we talked," et cetera... mind that it was generally maybe 3 or 4 days at most between conversations. She'd also get down on herself, and I can't tell if she was being manipulative or what. "I know I'm probably boring/annoying/not much fun to talk to. I'm a wreck." Things like that. I don't know how to respond to stuff like that other than just "No you're not" or whatever. I'm not good with that stuff. She knew that. [linebreak] [linebreak] I did try to be tactful and point out to Jill - more than once - that while I enjoyed talking to her, hey, I had to sleep, or work, or get ready for work, and I had other stuff I needed to get done. I didn't want to outright *say* "You know I have a life outside of you, right?", but then again... maybe I should've? [linebreak] [linebreak] Either way, she kinda ramped it up. Asking for my address so she could send me stuff I'd mentioned offhand (I mentioned in a Facebook post that I was gonna save up to buy a keyboard, she offered to send me one if I'd give her my address - and it was at a point where I wasn't comfortable with the idea). Trying to find new excuses to strike up conversation ("I had a dream that something terrible happened to you, so message me when you get this, because I get freaked out over stuff like that") even though we'd spoken only a day or two ago. [linebreak] [linebreak] Eventually, I got tired of Jill not getting it, and got so uncomfortable with her and her clinginess persisting despite my stated discomfort with it, that I ghosted her. Blocked her on [Fanfiction.net](https://Fanfiction.net), blocked her on Facebook, on my phone. I was getting really stressed out from dealing with her. And maybe I should've been more sympathetic, because I'd been her before. I'd been that person whose co-dependent nature pushed people away. But even seeing a notification from her stressed me out majorly. She seemed to want me to be her therapist (never mind I have a ton of my own issues to deal with), to be on-call for her when she was lonely (never mind that she has a husband she seems to love deeply and was always praising him), and so on. [linebreak] [linebreak] Apparently, after I ghosted her, Jill took it pretty hard for a while. [linebreak] [linebreak] Thing is... this was over a year ago. You'd think she'd have maybe moved on a little since then, yeah? She has other friends, as far as I know, that she really gets along with well, too. She seems more social. [linebreak] [linebreak] Except, last week, another writer we were both friends with (I'll call her "Claire") PMed me on [Fanfiction.net](https://Fanfiction.net). Mostly to say hi, let me know a new game was coming out in the series that we all wrote for, that she was excited and all that. We weren't all that close, but she'd message me periodically to chat. I respond, say "hey, Claire, I'm excited too, sorry I've been so quiet lately but I had a lot to deal with recently, hope to get back to writing soon." [linebreak] [linebreak] She responds, says she hopes so too, and also, "Hey, why don't you drop Jill a line? She's really missed you this past year." [linebreak] [linebreak] So, apparently, Jill still doesn't get that I'm not comfortable talking to her, and despite my pointing it out multiple times, she doesn't get that I wanted space and boundaries and stopped talking to her because she didn't respect those. So, now I'm anxious again, even though I don't have to interact with her if I don't want to. I just wish she'd move on and stop clinging to me. I have no idea *why* she even clung to me to begin with. It's just irritating. [linebreak] [linebreak] TL;DR: Extremely clingy and codependent friend drove me off because she didn't respect that I needed space, and she's still clinging to me over a year after we stopped talking. +The ol' switcheroo +I hope so. +haha, I still just go with my old school DE for when i DO shave. +The debates didn't matter in 2016 because his base is too stupid.

I've been eating whatever I want because if I try and restrict what I eat, it just sends me down a really unhealthy guilty path that I'm not in the place to go down anymore. [linebreak] [linebreak] The problem is I've gotten fat. My BMI is technically healthy (23) but we all know it doesn't mean anything. I'm in the middle of some serious exams and I can't excersize right now because I need to study all the time. All I can feel is my legs touching and my stomach rolling on itself and my flabby arms and the extra skin on my back and the flab on my waist and my fat neck. I don't know how much of this is dysmorphia and how much is me being fat, but I'm fine most of the time until it hits me in waves like it is now. [linebreak] [linebreak] I tried to take some nudes and my body just seemed wrong. I tried to put on a pair of shorts but they've gotten so tight they barely fit. I bought all my clothes when I was BMI 16.5-19 and they're so tight and ill-fitting now, and I can't afford more. [linebreak] [linebreak] I really just wish I could take a scissors and chop off all the fat. It's so unfair, because whenever I see someone who has told me they recovered from an eating disorder, they look normal. They haven't gained loads of weight like me. I just want to go on a diet, but I promised myself I'd eat whatever I want until the end of this year, to let myself get used to this new body. If I start dieting I'm scared I'll just hate myself more. I'm so annoyed I just wish I didn't feel like this. +From looking at the calcs, flamethrower didn't look "way worse" but just not as good. The biggest reason to run flamethrower is the accuracy, which the guy mentioned. I don't play competitive much but I do find it annoying with massive damage-dealing moves hit with bad accuracy. Fire Blast is at least 85 but whenever a Stone Edge or Focus Blast hit, I always shake my head. [linebreak] [linebreak] I understand the guy's logic here. Basically, it's a toss-up over whether you go for pure damage and some risk over guaranteed solid damage and no risk. There is no right or wrong answer to this. Just how willing are you to play the odds on 85% accuracy is all. +im a japanese lesbian and i find japanese women to be adorable, shoot me [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] no seriously please someone shoot me +My emo punk rock garage band was called Brain Zaps, google us, we put on insane shows with slime and dancing girls.

It's biology tricking us into 'enjoying' ourselves and ignoring our death. [linebreak] [linebreak] By pointing out that we're simply biological organisms, you're proving my point. That we're just animals. If we go along with animal pleasures like food and sex we're giving into ourselves.

[linebreak] [linebreak] > This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone August 16-20, 2017 among a random national sample of 1,014 adults, including users of both conventional and cellular phones. The results from the full survey have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by SSRS of Glen Mills, Pa. [linebreak] [linebreak] This is what I had read initially and had thought all 1014 answered each question, I hadn't seen the specific vote counts. That's my mistake, though I don't think an n of that size necessarily renders a poll worthless, and I still stand by my view that "nobody supports them except those in the group" is an exaggeration, and a potentially dangerous one at that. [linebreak] [linebreak] I also want to point out that the concern isn't so much the people that some people may currently support neonazism or white supremacy, it's those who aren't necessarily in that world but are susceptible to brainwashing and propaganda. Before probably the late 90s/early 2000s you had to join a group to be radicalized. Not the case anymore. It's the same MO that ISIS uses — find young men who are somehow emotionally susceptible to propaganda; maybe they hold a lot of anger in, maybe they are (understandably) sad and resentful that they can't find someone to date, maybe they have some unresolved trauma... and they find an ideology that for some reason is an outlet for that — it gives you something to express your anger and emotions at (even if it may not be wholly logical but someone can convince you it is). You don't have to meet up with people to be a white supremacist. You don't have to indicate it to anyone outwardly. As long as you don't express it in public, and you contain it to your online persona, nobody really ever has to know. But that doesn't mean you're not a white supremacist. It's still infected your mind and poisoned your thoughts. And you do, quietly, support those whose actions support the lies you've been deceived by. [linebreak] [linebreak] ^just to be clear, this is in a generic "you", I'm not accusing you of any of this [linebreak] [linebreak] > hit in the head with a baton or bat [linebreak] [linebreak] I hope it's clear that I don't condone this whatsoever. And this isn't okay regardless of the victims political affiliation. [linebreak] [linebreak] > majority of people agree it's bad, which is not the case with the things antifa does. [linebreak] [linebreak] But in order for this to be at all relevant — you would have to believe that antifa is exactly as bad as all the white supremacists and neonazis that I linked. Again, can you point to any political assassinations or murders by antifa? Or any things that are directly parallel to *any* of the stories I linked? [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm also *very* doubtful that most people don't disagree with antifa in general, let alone specifically the violent actions. [linebreak] [linebreak] > The difference between supporting assholes. [linebreak] [linebreak] Do you think all assholes are created equal or something? Would a guy who gets road rage and brake checks you be as much of an asshole as a guy who leaves his 2 year old child in the car while he gets smashed at the club, crashes head on and kills 5 people including his child? [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] People don't have to think about these things in a completely black and white way. You can agree with a particular groups intentions and motivations without condoning all of their actions. Just because two groups do bad things does not by nature of that make them equally immoral.

[linebreak] [linebreak] **I propose that once upon a time Reddits subreddits were about discussing a subject.** [linebreak] [linebreak] So /r/Food would be about discussing food. /r/News about discussing News. [linebreak] The same way even the political and other more divisive subreddits were about the subject itself. [linebreak] [linebreak] Even if /r/Socialism was run by a socialist and /r/Capitalism by a capitalist the purpose was not to create a community of socialists or capitalists but discuss the subjects, events and happenings concerning them. [linebreak] [linebreak] Today almost no sub is about about discussing it **but being part of it, being supportive of it, being loyal to it.** [linebreak] (Exceptions for like "True, or Truetrue subs). [linebreak] [linebreak] This is why TD bans even supporters of **Donald Trump** when critically analyzing the presidents actions in say his ever more hawkish appointments. [linebreak] [linebreak] Or why various socialist subs ban outright **socialist members** for lifting the issue in Venezuela from a critical point of view. [linebreak] [linebreak] Or even why the mods in /r/Food will ban you for criticizing someones food, or notion of food or beauty or taste of food. [linebreak] [linebreak] The concept of what a sub is about has changed. Or rather what a sub is *for*. Subreddits are no longer divisions of topics but divided communities. [linebreak] [linebreak] I remember on one of my older accounts one of my first banishments was in a subreddit for something literally called "/r/soylent" (from the movie Soylent Green) and rebranded as something positive. I was absolutely downvoted and then banished after a prolonged discussion (with little give and take) and I've seen this mannerism now spread to all sectors of Reddit. [linebreak] [linebreak] We either need to change this very fundamental of perception in ourselves or we must accept that even completely benign and neutral subreddits like say /r/News or your local subreddit will be taken over by a particular group and that group will congregate around their definition of the subject and then proceed to isolate voices that do not adhere to that as it progresses to define itself, whether openly or subconsciously. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] We must rethink what we use reddit for or concede that this is the future. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] ____ [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] A way to stop this would be to change a fundamental concept of Reddit. To forbid subreddits from having selective enforcing based on any stance on any one issue. [linebreak] [linebreak] So you could talk as much shit about socialism as you wanted in a socialist sub as you could talk shit about capitalism in a capitalist sub as long as you followed the rest of the subs rules. [linebreak] [linebreak] I honestly think that it's either this or we might as well shut up about it, because organic change might not come about as all the subs are now protecting themselves against brigading and "concern trolling" and other such things the same way an arms race in real life functions. So either make them all bend the knee or the struggle is pointless. But at least we can come to a common understanding of why it is happening, hence this thread. This way we can also stop acting out as victims of a particular ideology, religion, sex, location, interest or what ever when we get banned. We are victims of one side of Reddit, nothing else, sadly. +AKHAND BHARAT PHIR SE AYEGA INSHALLAH INSHALLAH +You definitely did not fuck up.

He can fly, he can throw his hammer like a homing hammer, he can summon lightning, he has insanely super strength, plus he can down a pint in a single gulp and ask for another before you have time to even raise your glass.

Like a whole other community knows/figures out how pathetic lawlz is +**Context** [linebreak] [linebreak] This subreddit focuses on the Duggars, an American fundamentalist Christian family with 19 children from the same parents. This denomination of Christianity is extremely strict. Most of the women only wear skirts below the knee, the children are homeschooled, and they reject modern music and media. The Duggar family had a reality television show called \*19 Kids and Counting\*, which ended due to backlash when it was discovered that the oldest son molested four of the sisters. A new show, called \*Counting On\*, focuses on just the adult children and their lives after the scandal. Both of the TV shows used to have their own subreddits, but they became mostly inactive. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] This subreddit drama focuses on r/DuggarsSnark, a subreddit created to make snark about the Duggar family. However, there has been discussion between members on the subreddit concerning what constitutes snark and what constitutes "leghumping." Leghumping is fawning over or praising the Duggars, which is not allowed on the sub.

I thought maybe I'll have a better way of getting more contacts and opportunities if join a college for my masters program. So I applied to a college and today I finally got my result from the college and it was a rejection. Our result is based on a portfolio so they mentioned it wasn't competitive enough. [linebreak] [linebreak] Im very passionate about animation and art and I know this is where I'm headed and I already have the knowledge and already making my own movie. However, the result may have pushed me to push myself more, I somehow low-key feel like after all these years (I started 3D art a long time ago and also have a degree btw) I'm still useless and not worth it. It made me question my own art. I know I'm not that good but I know I'm not that bad either.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Tldr; same as the title. [linebreak] [linebreak] EDIT: [linebreak] So 2 days ago, I got a mail from the same university and from being rejected I have now been accepted.

Which is how they can accuse statements rooted in biology to be "transphobic," because it gets in the way of being treated preferentially to the rest of the population. [linebreak] [linebreak] That's also how you can still be considered a hateful, harmful, *dangerous* person even if you treat transgendered people the same way you'd respectfully treat anyone else. I have a strong suspicion the fellow claiming TiA is a hate sub considers anyone who *doesn't* provide enthusiastic praise for being trans as "hateful," hence why I mentioned the Anakin Skywalker mentality. [linebreak] [linebreak] Which would necessarily include a lot of the transgendered/nonbinary TiA regulars who aren't fond of this shit either. Then again, activists like these are quite notorious for treating dissent among their own favored demographics as treason. +That sub is a hellhole +They called the attempted murder of Steve Scalise self defense because he was against universal healthcare.

What I'm going to say is a lot easier said than done, but it's a true fact. You must first love yourself and learn to be happy with yourself before someone else can truly see your value. When you look to them for reassurance, they can feel it. It pushes them away. The hard part is finding out what you love about yourself and what it is that you find fulfilling. But you have to or you'll be stuck in this constant feeling that you care more than others do. In which there's a truth to it, you are valuing them more than they value you. They in turn are valuing themselves more. So you need to value yourself more. +oye libtard [linebreak] lunn fadle +>Using the term "white knight" unironically [linebreak] [linebreak] https://i.imgur.com/pPdNZ3c.jpg +One just opened near where I live..l legitimately serving tripe.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I'm glad to hear she did at least try and can see he went way way over the top. Maybe try talking with her 1 on 1 so maybe since she has experienced similar feelings in the past she would be more understanding of your perspective and how serious it is and that you do need support. [linebreak] [linebreak] A few comments said that you need to cut ties the toxicity in your life but at the moment that is more or less impossible and would cause too much grief for you and they are a part of your support network and that's something that is important to have (a support network) and maintain. I think your dad is just confused and doesn't know how to handle just mental health on a whole maybe having a heart to hear with your mum could help her help him to learn more about this kinda stuff so he can help you because I'm sure all he wants is to help you but just doesn't know how to, and maybe he is struggling aswell and just doesn't know it properly sand doesn't currently have the mental capacity needed to take proper care of you. There are so many things that could have attributed to his his actions that have nothing to do with you and could be a case of poorly directed and understood emotions, Has he been under any stress or pressure at work?, Unexpected bills, a loss of a loved wrong?, problems at home or job security? , or maybe him seeing you at the age you are taking steps into college has him thinking of the past or whatever and that's gotten him down(like him not being where he'd like to be in life idk I'm not a councillor). Idk sorry you said like everything was lovely before so I'm trying to think about what could be the underling cause for why he reacted in such a horrible way, I'm sure he regrets what he said and feels bad for it. I hope he does. And I hope he will come around soon and acknowledge what he said and apologises to you. Sorry I hope you get what I'm trying to say. [linebreak] [linebreak] But above all you need to look out for you and trying to protect your mental state is most important so if that means ASAP moving out work towards what you have to do to achieve that so you can at least get that space to become level headed which in turn will help you be able to feel better. And hopefully fix and build a healthy relationship with your dad if you do decide that it is something you want. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] It will be hard, you will have feelings to end it all, you will want to give up and it will feel pointless. But I promise you that it won't be worth it. You will struggle your entire life. Everyone does in their own way that's just the sad 'shitty' fact of life. But as life goes on you build experience of dealing with the shit life throws at ya and get better at coping with your thoughts and feelings and someday in the future you will be faced with a problem and then think back and think to yourself "wow if X was a problem 2 years ago that would have been enough to make me tie the rope there and then. But it's a problem now and I'm okay". And that's something you will be happy to acknowledge that you have progressed in yourself and all the suffering we go through conditions us to who we are going to be in the future like for example if in the future you become a parent I have no doubt you will be a amazingly supportive and loving parent because you will understand what it's like to feel certain feelings.

[linebreak] [linebreak] *however*. [linebreak] [linebreak] if someone is like, a self-identified incel, and they've taken their virginity to be some kind of symptom of a systemic problem with the opposite sex, then they're getting into territory where I'm okay with making fun of them (although even then i tend to feel more sympathy than humour in the situation). and I'd make more fun of them for believing the world is 'chad and stacey' than anything else. +Why does the existence of a poor deal worked out by a union invalidate this?

[linebreak] JK Rowling has for a while now been doing this thing where she announces outisde of the narrative that certain characters are "diverse" in whatever way, but diagetically in universe within the narrative of the world itself there is little to no evidence to back up these claims. [linebreak] Supposedly Dumbledore and Grindelwald had a passionate relationship-- but in a film very much about Dumbledore and Grindelwald this is explicitly only given as Dumbledore initially having had admiration for Grindelwald's philosophy - leading to their pact of not stopping one another - and how that got soured by Grindelwald's genocidal side. [linebreak] [linebreak] Rowling has basically been cashing in on the diversity of her books/films without actually writing this diversity into them. [linebreak] Anf this frustrates the fans because if Dumbledore and Grindelwald's relationship was as Rowling described in her Tweets etc. Then she is refusing to give the audience the real story by writing such a tame version of it in FB CoG +Three week is a long time to be on that diet, so respect to him. +Marco Scolaris needs to be fired right now.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Yes, humans have biological, scientific urges for good food, sex, companionship etc. - and those things then trigger biological, scientific reactions along the lines pleasure, satisfaction - from combinations of which we try to rationalize and derive concepts like "joy". [linebreak] [linebreak] So say, enjoying good food, is an entirely rational contributor to "joy". [linebreak] [linebreak] So you've just fooled yourself into thinking that "science" or the like requires an absence of emotion or feeling or the like, when of course emotion, feeling, other human reactions etc. are entirely natural. +I was thinking maybe a Spaghetti alle Surströmming. +/r/AmItheAsshole , /r/relationships +I'm just so tired of not being an important part of the lives of the people that are important to me. I know, many of you could say I'm important to my family but come on, it's only because we are blood-related. I mean my friends. I have never been someone's best friend, never. Not that I'm aware of. It feels as if I'm only a temporary friend, not one that lasts. This really gets me down lately. And to make things worse, I found out my best friend doesn't even care about me. I don't know why but since the start of the year, he has been different with me. He recently formed a new group of friends and slowly he has started to grow apart from me. I now know he doesn't care about me, but his still MY best friend. We used to talk everyday, now if he doesn't see me during school hours, he doesn't even send me a message. If I don't look up for him or talk to him, he just ignores me. I have come to think he grew tired of being my friend, as everyone I know. This always happens to me. Nevertheless, I still want his friendship and his approval, even when he has done me so many bad things. Some days it looks as if I'm really his best friend, but other days, he completely ignores my existence. It's just too much. I feel too much, and I always overthink too much. I try to talk to him but he just shoves me off. I'm just so tired of constantly feeling like a piece of garbage. Nobody really cares about me. +> I've seen comments where the girl being talked to was straight up called "a huge bitch" for not playing along on yet another terrible joke/pickup line.

[linebreak] [linebreak] People were calling brands that the Duggars sponsor on social media and asking them to drop the sponsorship because of the Duggars hatred and antagonism of women and LGBT folks. [linebreak] [linebreak] A bunch of people on Duggarsnark decided that was too mean and LGBT folks should just get over it and not interfere with their income stream.

I said I suspected him of vote manipulating and that I'd be contacting the admins about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] 2 days later, I get a ban message from r/mildlyinteresting accusing me of having abused the report button(I never made a report, I use Reddit mobile and the iOS app doesn't allow custom reports.) now if you recall, I made a post 2 months or so ago about a user filing false reports on my behalf there as well. I was threatened with being reported to the admins there as well, yet, here I still am. Because, guess what? I didn't make the report. The language and the way the reports are written isn't even how I talk or type and again, why would I report vote manipulation to mods who can't do anything about it? [linebreak] [linebreak] After denying the allegations and defending myself, I was told the ban was extended, no sweat off my back as the sub is notoriously bad these days and full of Facebook level content. I just felt this was an appropriate forum to vent these frustrations. Note that he also told me that unless I could prove my innocence, I was banned for good.

People who I thought were my best and closest friends. All but one thought I was lucky to have pussy at eight. They expressed how jealous they were, only one was there for me and agreed with me that it's terrible. He's the only person from that group I'm friends with. They made jokes about how I must be gay if I didn't want it. I see this happening all the time. Girls are molested/raped? "It's terrible, so terrible." Guys? "Dude, up top! fuck yeah!"

Can you point to 100 bad cops in chicago? It will always be a problem we have to keep an eye out for, unless you neuter the police force to the point that they are ineffective. Chicago does appear to have more corruption than other cities, but it's also quite possible they're just really shitty at cover ups. Reporting on police misbehavior drives clicks, reporting on police *good* behavior does not, so whatever you see on the news is always going to give a much more bleak view of the police than actual statistics will, even if there is variance between cities in terms of the percentage of police interactions that go poorly, which there *always* will be. This is one area where 'equality of outcome' will never happen, no matter how hard you try. +How? [linebreak] [linebreak] So far today we've got drama about a bunch of white af mods at BPT insisting people verify their race, a gaming community's mods being paid off by a gaming company and cross-spectrum idiocy from every mod who thinks they have a political barrow to push.

[linebreak] [linebreak] I ended up crashing into the pedestrian barrier as my least fatal option as opposed to veering directly into traffic, ramming straight into the side of the van, or breaking so hard I'd likely end up lying in the middle of a busy road.

So, cavities got bad, he lost teeth, etc. Plus I needed braces and never got them and do have some issues with my spacing. I'm actually about to finally get braces in a few months at 34 lol but yay!

Therefore by your logic, I have found one reason to exist, ergo the only possible conclusion is that you should have children. [linebreak] [linebreak] by whose logic? i've never heard an antinatalist argue that there are literally no positives to being alive. their arguments usually fall into these categories: [linebreak] [linebreak] - the challenges or bad parts of life do outweigh the good [linebreak] [linebreak] - even if they don't, it's difficult to prove it convincingly enough to justify action (creating a life and rolling the dice) vs inaction (not creating a life, neutral result) [linebreak] [linebreak] - even if you prove the utilitarian case convincingly enough, you've argued yourself into a moral imperative to have literally as many children as possible [linebreak] [linebreak] if you're like the overwhelming majority of people, being alive is obviously better than not being alive, and it's absurd to question it. but it's not the case for everyone. imagine if your experience of life (the only experience you truly have access to) were overwhelmingly negative, and you genuinely would have preferred to have never been born. can you see how the decision to create another life would seem morally ambiguous from that perspective? +Thats pretty normal its just so that you cant evade bans.

Shakespeare, though a wonderful literary artist, was more than a bit of a fatalist or nihilist himself. (Yet he still managed not to consistently advocate genocide.) [linebreak] [linebreak] I think you're making your points just to hear yourself talk. They're not particularly sensical. You don't care much for criticism or understanding or addressing contrary points, it's just a one-man show. A party for yourself. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you take comfort in that, that's fine. But advocating suicide or genocide for others is not fine. If that's all you have to add and if you're not willing to accept or understand views of others, then you should just keep it to yourself.

And everyone called me sensitive, a crybaby, the little piggy who cried all the way home. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] But I'm here to tell you that you're not alone. There are thousands of surveys and information online, and I think you need to start educating others because you're not sensitive, you're hurt and you need help, like I needed help. It can be different for you but you need people who support you. It hurts to think people are so cruel, but I was at the brunt end of it for a while, so I want you to know I'm here for you. [linebreak] [linebreak] Message me at any time, ask me questions, vent or rant to me. Because, no, I may not have gone through the exact same thing, but I went through something close. [linebreak] [linebreak] I hope you consider talking to me. It's always better to start off ranting online when you can hide behind a screen and let your emotions take over. I want your emotions to be valid, because everyone deserves to feel validated. +Not necessary ki sabko metal pasand aana chahiye.

I live in a severely overcrowded college town, people are generally awful, parking is non existent, and it costs me $10 a day in parking to even go to work. Driving takes all of my mental energy. It's getting to the point where leaving my house and driving takes 2 days of recovery, afterward. I'm not a people person, have a GED, have physical limitations, hate talking on the phone, and driving a long commute is impossible in my current headspace. It's really limiting what I can do career-wise. My mother passed away last year and left some money behind, so my plan is to buy a house where I can start a greenhouse. Its already become incredibly clear to me that I cant go back to "salmoning" in a city I hate, at a job I'm just completely over. I have to make my own way from now on. It has inspired me to start being creative and motivated again. I'm just biding my time and trying to figure out as much as I can while I get myself ready for the next chapter. I guess my only advice is to find something you are passionate about that can be lucrative for you. For me, its growing rare plants. Try doing some freelance or flex jobs if you have useful skills.

One thing I'll say is try to work on letting go a little, you know, keep from obsessing over things you can't change. All you can do is learn from what you've been through and figure out what you're going to do about your current situation. No human is ever going to be perfect because that's not what it means to be human, we all fuck up, it's ok. You're not entitled for being bothered by these things. Your ex didn't take away your chances of being happy and functioning regularly. You can't put your happiness and well-being in the hands of others because there's no guarantee that any realationship will last forever. And even if you didn't end up with the last girl you were talking to, there's going to be another one eventually. But in my opinion you should try to focus more on bettering yourself before you jump straight back into a realationship. That's what I'm doing right now. I know you can't afford rent but maybe get a therapist if you can it can be very helpful if you find a good one. Lastly if you really enjoy music you should pursue it for your own sake. Sure nothing is going to come out immediately but but give it time, eventually you'll figure out a way to write out what's on your mind. It takes time and effort to get any art form "right" so you should focus on having fun with it while trying to get better. You can't give up just because it doesn't come to you instantly. You sit down everyday and work on it, something WILL come of that and you will make great music. +r/brandnewsentence? +>abuse apologism [linebreak] [linebreak] Huh?

The Sandman comics are good, too. I also recommend Ichi the Killer if you are feeling adventurous. It is definitely NSFW/L depending on your views.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Based on my own personal experience and other posts I've seen, I would argue there is a real problem with people attacking the OP for venting views they do not like. I get this isn't a safe space for any specific groups and I'm not saying people can't disagree with what someone is venting about. I've gotten into it quite a bit with some people's venting here, like them hating an entire group of people because of the actions of a few. However, far too often do I notice people resort to personal attacks, aka ad hominem fallacy. Not to mention this violates rule 4 of this sub. I suspect the reason this rule is in place is to stop this sort of thing. Attack the argument, not the person. [linebreak] [linebreak] Basically, instead of people addressing why they disagree with what someone is venting about, they often try to discredit the person by making claims like "you're not really X" or "you're fake and a troll". That's not to say trolling doesn't happen here, but often, disagreeing with someone's venting is treated as if that person is just trying to get a rise out of people. It's like people refuse to believe someone could have unpopular opinions and stand by them, no, they *must* be trolling. It's very closed minded too, because the person making the troll claim refuses to think outside of their world view. For example, if you're a racial minority, some people have a hard time believing you if you don't fall into stereotypical views for your race. Is it so hard to believe someone can have opinions you don't like and that they believe in them? If they really are trolling, you replying to them just fuels their fire. It's so unproductive to vent if all people are going to do is accuse you of being this or not being that, effectively going against the purpose of this sub. [linebreak] [linebreak] Given that the purpose of this sub is to allow opinions and venting that OffMyChest wouldn't allow, I would expect better of people here. I dare say if you want a sub like this where people get auto banned from posting in specific subs that OffMyChest mods don't like, that sub is much more of a fit for you than hanging around here trying to dogpile people who go against your world views. [linebreak] [linebreak] So, disagree with me on this if you must, but I think it would be better to debunk my arguments rather than claim I'm a fake and thus, that alone is somehow supposed to invalidate everything I've written. +I'll take the centrists position and say both men belong in a reeducation camp but only one of them is put on blast on Reddit 24/7 +I second that sentiment.

[linebreak] [linebreak] No, I don't hate sex itself, but I can't go anywhere without hearing about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's been so driven into us by our basic biology and our modern society that 'sex is the means to happiness', that I feel we've moved back on ourselves. [linebreak] [linebreak] We've turned sex into a commodity, with the 'haves' and 'have nots'. It breeds jealousy and hatred, hence the incel community. [linebreak] [linebreak] The attitude about not having it is hypocritical too. People will go out and say: "There's nothing wrong with being a virgin!" and then turn around and go "Wow this guy isn't getting laid lol." [linebreak] [linebreak] Shit like this is why people feel pressured to go out and fuck just because they feel like they have to in order to be 'living'. [linebreak] [linebreak] You would think, that as a whole, with as advanced as a society we've become, we would put our more primal desires behind us and put our efforts into other things, but no. We focus on sex sex sex. [linebreak] [linebreak] In school, sport, Reddit, TV, movies, sex is almost always a topic, maybe thinly veiled as 'romance', maybe not.

If risk of birth defects in children makes incest wrong, does that mean it's wrong for people with dwarfism to have sex? [linebreak] [linebreak] Same thing goes for power dynamics and grooming.

[linebreak] [linebreak] That's actually a perfect way to go about it! I'm willing to bet you are improving more than you think. Searching out what smarter people think and coming up with your own theories is how I was taught. If there's a better way I don't know it. [linebreak] [linebreak] For music The Grateful Dead are my best example. They even have a book dedicated to the symbology they use that I think is posted online. They make *heavy* use of symbolism and are just great to listen to. [linebreak] [linebreak] The Catcher in the Rye is a fun book. It uses symbolism and it has story elements you may not pick up on until you experience them yourself. Also it's short. [linebreak] [linebreak] Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, The Metamorphosis, Heart of Darkness, Othello are all some examples of books I've personally enjoyed and know there are a lot of resources into their symbolism. I tried to think of varied examples that don't carry on too long. [linebreak] [linebreak] Edit- Forgot to add. A lot of the time I don't know what symbols mean right away, either. I just happen to notice "oh hey that's the third time we've seen a white bird" and *then* do some reading or research to see if it means something in the context of the story or what. And even then I might come to a different conclusion about what they mean *exactly*. +Although black people make up less than 13% if the American population they commit more than 50% of the crimes +Wtf bro they use heroin from Afghanistan that's why it's so cheap +Name a time where a woman deceived someone.

I had been depressed lately ever since I started my winter quarter of college as a first year. I am now currently a sophomore year going into junior year. [linebreak] [linebreak] I grew up with engineering drilled into my brain. My dad is an engineer, and as a little kid I always solve problems, create new objects with lego pieces, and always wondered how cars work. I excelled in many math and science tests until starting middle school when I moved into a bit more average. [linebreak] [linebreak] I then entered a top tier engineering school under an engineering program. I quickly realized how much I hated chemistry and barely scrapped by with a D in both Calculus 3 (Taylor series, sequences, etc...) and chemistry II, got into academic probation. I then switched into another form of engineering, bumped my GPA up with easy classes just to get out of academic probation, then got into academic probation again after failing Statics with a F. I honestly feel very annoyed. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm now sitting in my house during spring break thinking Engineering isn't right for me. I literally have no drive to do well in classes anymore. I hate going back to school, rather irritated each time I have to go back. I hate the constant going to class, sitting in there listening to pointless bullshit, then getting out. I hate the constant homework that is being thrown at me. The thing I hate most? Tests. Why do we have to memorize all of pointless math and others? I don't know which other major I can be interested at. [linebreak] [linebreak] Most people I'm around with are rather shitty, or I just don't fit in with them. I am losing multiple friends back in home, and I'm not making any true friends in college. I'm always open to hanging out, but it's always like this: "I'm busy, sorry." Or some version of that. Or they just don't respond at all. I always have nothing to do rather than playing video games instead of seeing all other people going to college parties with their super close group of friends. I also got made fun of for driving a manual transmission vehicle that I bought, because it was cheap and reliable, but at least I have a freaking car to use, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] Why do I have to be that kid who peaked in high school? Back then when I had a girlfriend, was a sports team captain, always have fun stuff to do. Now I'm just sitting here with a low GPA and have not exercised in so long because of engineering work. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm fucking irritated. I've been noticing I got angry a lot easier, especially after getting back test scores when all I want to do is to yell "FUCK ENGINEERING" in my brain. Why can't I just get my shit together? I hate being one of the least smartest students in class, but I loathe almost every single math and science courses I take. I loathe calculus and linear analysis. I loathe all physics, chemistry, and biology. Why did I let GPA dictate my happiness? And otherwise, why the hell do most jobs have this 3.0 GPA minimum required? It's a very stupid requirement to have, just seeing all those people who cheated their way being eligible for that job.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Immigration has literally nothing at all to do with current wage levels. Capitalism is amply capable of extracting virtually all surplus value from the workers at all levels of supply. But capital doesn't even really give a shit about immigration, look at how quickly the billionaires lined up behind Trump. What is important to them is their ability to shift capital to tax havens, not increasing the net labor in the United States. They are just glad you are distracted. [linebreak] [linebreak] But capital isn't interested in building factories in poor countries. It is only interested in stripping them of their resources to prop up the imperial core. Net flows of capital from the global south to the global north are over six trillion a year. Yes that includes the foreign aid, the small pittance that you begrudgingly hand out and expect oh so much gratitude for. It doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of all that the neocolonial empire takes from the third world to prop up its empire.

Such variations may involve genital ambiguity, and combinations of chromosomal genotype and sexual phenotype other than XY-male and XX-female.Intersex people were previously referred to as hermaphrodites or "congenital eunuchs". In 19th and 20th century medical literature, intersex was referred as true hermaphroditism, female pseudohermaphroditism, and male pseudohermaphroditism reflecting the first taxonomic efforts to classify intersex conditions. These terms are no longer used: terms including the word "hermaphrodite" are considered to be misleading, stigmatizing, and scientifically specious.

They are in danger all over the world. In Africa, 100 elephants are killed every day for their ivory. That number is increasing yearly. 2015 was the first year when the number of elephants being killed was more than those being born. If this disparity continues, African elephants could face extinction within our lifetime. In Asia, though poaching for ivory is a serious problem as well, elephants are also being killed for their skin. Whereas in Africa only elephants with ivory are killed, every Asian elephant is a target for their skin which means that they could face extinction sooner than African elephants. Additionally, in Asia, many elephants are facing an unnatural and cruel life by also being kept in captivity for a variety of purposes: logging, tourism, cultural and religious activities, and transportation. +Then why are the right against any form of state healthcare?

They're both pretty unverifiable. They are how they are because they are. [linebreak] [linebreak] For example, an evolutionary psychological explanation for getting (sometimes) different outcomes between sexes in spatial/language tests runs along the lines of maybe that's because historically, men needed better spatial skills because they roamed further to hunt while women needed better language skills to mediate conflicts that, as the generally smaller sex, could be fatal for them if they escalate. It's a nice simple theory that makes superficial sense but it can never move past theory because there's simply no way to gather evidence to support it. It's also somewhat reductionist, which is always a warning sign with psychology that something is hinky.

Back in the day it was the fantasy childhood sweet hearts. We were two peas in a pod and loved being around eachother. Well fast forward a few years we started being intimate. Our family eventually found out and she left me and I left home. Now 10 years later she reached out to me out of the blue and we started talking. Side note, 2018 as a whole was the worst year of my life. When I say the whole year, every month, every day was emotionally and physically taxing to a degree where my hair is literally thining and falling out I mean it(my hair used to be thick and healthy). [linebreak] [linebreak] So we start talking and it feels as though no time has passed at all. Its great! I cant believe she is talking to me again. But in my gut I know its just a rebound text(my mom told me she recent broke up with a 2yr relationship). Well she isnt doing to well either and she tries to kill herself so I call out of work for a whole week and I am across the whole country the next day to see her in the hospital. She is finally released and we have an amazing week together! Doing everything, always laughing and just enjoying eachothers company. But theres an issue, she constantly lied to me, about stupid stuff. She is a terrible liar but I never called her out. Even her mom told me she was sleeping with multiple people and when I asked she lied about her previous relationship even though she brought that up. There were so many red flags that I ignored, so many times she made herself to he victim to everything and I knew was trying to get me to feel sorry for her, and I ignored them all because I wanted to support her. On the last night we are snuggled up in her bed as we did everynight and she keeps pulling me on top of her to just "get closer" as she says (yeah okay). We start kissing and I ask over and over if its what she wants (i dont want to have sex but i wanted her to be happy and she seemed to really want to) and you can guess what happened. Well I drive home that night and cry all the way home because I know I was just used. [linebreak] [linebreak] Over the next couple weeks she slowly talks to me less and less and barely wants to see me after I move back home after almost 10 years away. I finally call her and confront her and she tells me nothing has changed and hasnt talked to me since. [linebreak] [linebreak] I am so disgusted with myself for being so easy and ignoring all the signs that she was manipualting me. I cant even look at her because she isnt even the same person she used to be and it hurts so much. Not a single apology or an attempt to say anything from her. I dont know why she used me and I am so broken up about it. I told her all the shit that went down even about me losing my daughter that year (2018) and she still did this. Idk what to do. I want peace but she wont talk to me anymore. [linebreak] [linebreak] P.S. There were so many more flags and signs i ignored from family and friends but this post is long enough. [linebreak] [linebreak] TL;DR: My best friend/sweet heart from child hood called me up after 10 years. She was struggling so I went to help her out. My time with her was great but there were alot of red flags I ignored. I didnt want to sleep with her but she kept pushing so I did then she started to distance herself from me. I feel so used and disgusted with myself and I dont know why she did it. +You wanted a thing? Well hell, why didn't you say so?

Doesn't that directly contradict their argument?? [linebreak] [linebreak] It's very close to a contradiction. They could make the claim that, if they were somehow prevented from using piracy, they *still wouldn't buy the game*, therefore it doesn't preclude a potential sale. [linebreak] [linebreak] The real gem is this: I think there might actually be data suggesting that more piracy leads to more sales. So, by participating in piracy, they would be contributing to the game's popularity which would imply more sales. +> . The left has an obsession with manufacturing outrage.

[linebreak] [linebreak] For example, his narrative arc closes with an appearance to a Taoist hermit as a ghost vengefully demanding the return of his head. The hermit, knowing of Lord Guan's great reputation and famous deeds, asks what about the men whose heads Guan had taken himself (he recites an abridged list), who will return them? Spurned, the ghost vanishes and Lord Guan exits the narrative. +If only there was group so enlightened they do not fall into the dogma of the left or the right. Oh well. +He was a preacher.

The idea was basically making fun of Star Wars fans going completely off the rails when it comes to the sequel trilogy, complaining about "ruined childhoods" and the like. [linebreak] [linebreak] If I understand right, the creators' own views are that TFA is decent despite being a rehash of the original film, TLJ tries too hard to "subvert expectations" and doesn't gain anything from it, and as a whole, people care far too much for what should just be a series of movies. +Half of Chicago would of burned down of this didn't happen on the coldest days on record.

They're all, "Punch nazis, kill nazis, don't give nazis a platform", when they don't realize that forcefully silencing people makes others *sympathetic* to their cause, because it makes them look oppressed. [linebreak] [linebreak] If people on the right shut down progressive events, assaulted progressives, killed them, got them doxxed, got them swatted, et cetera, people would be *incredibly* sympathetic to them because it would seem as though they did nothing wrong and are being unfairly silenced.

He is basically undefeated at debate, certainly when talking to libs. +I'm guessing this happens because, while many gay people do agree with fluidity of sexuality, we are also often told we just need to 'find the right person' etc and it causes them to get defensive.

Your friend/romantic partner/family member dragged from whatever the fuck you're doing. Now you're more pissed than a Polygon reader. [linebreak] [linebreak] So at the party, which is, let's say 25% LGBTQIA (bare with me here) but are otherwise friendly like on TV. Then a idea popped on your head. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's about the 80s song "It's Raining Men." [linebreak] [linebreak] You asked the people about the song. The usual suspects would tell you it's a iconic anthem in the queer community. If you play it in public, someone's coming out the next day. [linebreak] [linebreak] You tell them you hate it. You remember hating that song since childhood. [linebreak] [linebreak] So you had the bright idea to change what they think about it. [linebreak] [linebreak] You tell them, "The song is about semen coming out" to much to their shock and horror. You tell them to look closer to the lyrics. Reinterpret the lyrics to fit story you want them to see. You tell them that the song came at height of the AIDS epidemic and that in some nebulous way, is detrimental to the gay community. I tell them the song is everything negative that happened to them. [linebreak] [linebreak] Cue the angry stares and every urban dictionary insult thrown your way. [linebreak] [linebreak] That doesn't matter. What does comes after. Over time, a small minority of them will somehow agree with me. Soon they tell people about it those close to them and them to others. [linebreak] [linebreak] Soon, it would spread to the internet. I don't need to tell what happens next. Celebrities denounce, radio station remove. The whole rigmarole. [linebreak] [linebreak] This isn't new. You probably know this. Hell, the whole subreddit knows (amongst others) for all I know. Hitler knew, Stalin knew, Ceaser knew. [linebreak] [linebreak] That's how online journalism works. [linebreak] [linebreak] How's that for a TED talk? +Ah, I remember the time someone on Tumblr told me off for whitewashing a canonically white man who is KNOWN in the series to have an orange af trump tan. [linebreak] [linebreak] Definitely my greatest moment on that hell site. +Seriously, pelosi trying to shame him for his "violent rhetoric" is just insane, he's using her words, if her own words would cause potential violence then isn't that.. on her stupid ass? +And I can't believe that what set me off today was not being able to find part of a fucking IKEA cabinet. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm not happy, I can't remember the last time I was, and I'm not sure I even know what I need to be happy with my life. I don't know what to do. I've been on antidepressants, and I still feel this way. Sometimes I have good days or good weeks, but I usually end up completely melting down and losing it again over something. I don't know how to make it better or if I even can. [linebreak] [linebreak] I can't afford to move out. I can't afford to rent where I live, I certainly can't afford to buy a house or a flat, and I don't see a way out. Every time I'm reminded of the lifestyle my parents had at the same age as me, it upsets me because I know I'll never have that, it's going to pass me by. I don't even know why I want to emulate them in that way because they're divorced now. I'm scared that down the line I'm going to feel like I've missed a whole chapter of my own life. [linebreak] [linebreak] My girlfriend broke up with me a year ago. She did the worst thing that anyone has ever done to me, I don't forgive her and I never will. I find it hard to meet people and I thought she was going to be it for me. I still miss her and I think I'm probably going to carry this for the rest of my life. She didn't just take away the relationship, she took away all the hopes and dreams I had for being a proper functioning adult and being happy. What's really bothering me about it right now is that I ruined things - before they even started - with another girl who liked me and who I liked too, to be with her. This absolutely is my fault and even if it probably wouldn't have worked out with her I spend far too much time thinking about if I blew my chance at being happy with someone. [linebreak] [linebreak] I hate my job. If you told me tomorrow that it was gone and I could never go back, I wouldn't care. Wouldn't give one single solitary fuck. I hate the building, I hate the place it's in, I hate the noise, I hate the customers, I hate all of it. I could just find a new job and leave, but I feel so completely ground down and I don't think I would find anything better so I can't motivate myself to. I could go back to university and learn to do something else but not without getting myself into a lot of debt I'll never be able to pay off. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've never wanted to have a real job, because I can't handle the real world. As a kid I dreamed of being an athlete, although it became clear pretty early on that I was never going to be. I love sports but I'm just not good enough to even play at a recreational level, and that kills me and I don't enjoy them as much as I would like because of that. Then I started to pursue music, and I was OK at that, but I just can't do it. I can't meet other people who share the same musical aspirations as me, I can't write a song because nothing comes out when I try to, I just can't get it right. [linebreak] [linebreak] I can't stop obsessing over things that I can't change. I can't stop obsessing over perfection and trying to obtain it. I can't stop obsessing over how all kinds of small details in my life are wrong. I can't feel part of anything. I can't even build a set of fucking shelves. I can't have all the time back that I've wasted. I can't cope. [linebreak] [linebreak] And I feel like an entitled little prick for being bothered by these things as much as I am. +Poor Flareon was done dirty by the mechanics of the first few generations. When a Pokémon uses a move of its type it gets a lot stronger, so any fire move Flareon used would be more powerful. Flareon also has a lot of physical attack, so it wants to use fire moves that hit physically. [linebreak] [linebreak] The only issue is that before gen 4, moves were classified as "physical" or "special" not inherently, but by their type. So every single fire move (including Fire *Punch*) was a special move, which Flareon could not use effectively. Throw on top of this a super shallow move pool of lackluster coverage and you could see why Jolteon or Vaporeon saw a lot more usage. [linebreak] [linebreak] They eventually additionally gave Flareon stronger moves on top of the physical and special split +What period? This would not be the first time someone has gotten a name or date wrong. I mean, three arrows went to guess it was the first crusade which isn't a stretch and is a rather common practice when someone asks a history question: to try and figure out what period they are *actually* talking about. However, unlike the first crusade, which was a bit of a mess and didn't really go anywhere, the Reconquista fits the rough time period, the map he pulled up, and was about a Muslim invasion and the rather slow process of Spain trying to have them uninvade. +Shoulda played it cool and started rubbing it in like lotion while dropping facts about how fermented piss prevents skin cancer. +That dude is definitely not military either +I pretty much help my friends/neighbors by taking them to and from Dr. appointments, keeping track of their information, picking up their kids from school as well at times, watching them helping cook now and then just to help them manage... they fucking adore me and are thankful, they even put me as a secondary beneficiary on their life insurance (I fucking hope I never have to collect it) [linebreak] [linebreak] then when I talk to my sisters or brother... they treat me like I'm a fucking mental patient or retard that can't handle anything on my own. When I was younger I was a complete little shithead who let my entitled mother do everything for me and spoil me but I grew as a person, and I've shown it or so I thought yet my own family refuses to knowledge it, it shouldn't bother me, but I still want that common respect of an equal yet to be denied that just infuriates me to no end.

Then shes laughing as if everything is great. [linebreak] After I'm there trying to comfort her to no avail, then her getting instantly better, I start to feel like I'm not needed. Then she doesn't asks about how my day went. She sometimes will, but I can't even finish telling her things and its only when shes in a good mood (which is maybe 1 or 2 days a week). [linebreak] So I bring it up, I get nothing but angry pushback. This time because I waited for us to be cuddled up in bed where I could be holding her while I told her how I was feeling. I just don't know what to do and feel like it's my fault because even if I had brought it up earlier it would have still been my fault for feeling this way... am I really the problem?

[linebreak] [linebreak] And when people, white, non-white, male, female, non-binary say "that's it's a bad idea" to those racists and sexists, they just double down.

It's used in 1) Porn 2) Anime/Manga 3) Towards real people. In the third way it's super offensive, because like you said it's implying trans women aren't real women. In the first two however, it's not always referring to trans women. While I'm sure that there are trans women in "trap" porn, often times they are male identifying who aim for a feminine look. In that case the setting of the porn itself is that they are men trying to "trick" men, so it's an accurate description. Finally, when it comes to anime/manga the characters are also male identifying, outside of the (extremely rare) series where characters are transexual, and in those those issues are often addressed. +Cool, like I even care lmao +hurr capitalism has killed more people than socialism/communism +This is the golden age of drama +To be fair, they were slavs. +TBH, WB is not an easy turf, same as TN, AP and KL.

[linebreak] [linebreak] This got quite a lot of the Internet to, shall we say, look at them with askance. Of course, Teen Vogue's woke defenders derided people by calling them *prudes*, avoiding addressing the fact that humans by and large are a sexually dimorphic species. [linebreak] [linebreak] Last year around August, [one Teen Vogue writer advocated making up gender-neutral words for family members to "avoid erasing women and non-binary people"](http://archive.is/8DgTA) because apparently words like "mother," "sister," "wife," "aunt" and so on erase women.

[linebreak] [linebreak] The cheese and egg thing, they're just really low in carbs according to google.

Your efforts have about a 50/50 chance of being appreciated or even noticed. Sometimes, though, if you're unlucky enough to contribute after there's already been a huge load of responses, the OP might feel overwhelmed and unable to get to your post. So that's nothing to do with the quality of your content, and definitely nothing personal. I asked a question once that got a bunch of responses. I replied to as many as I could, being as gracious as possible, but finally just had to give up on it. I'd thought about posting a "thank you for such a thoughtful reply!" or something to each of the rest of them, but that almost seemed like it would be worse. Like some kind of soulless form letter bot response.

[linebreak] the problematic part is not the inclusion of a revived, politically significant, openly racist and fascist (sorry to anyone who don't know this, but the rise of so-called "populism" you see on the right is a rise of fascism, read a book) confederacy in WW2, but rather the prospect of individual players identifying with the confederacy and what such play indicates and consists in. is it okay to role play as lynching thugs? [linebreak] it's a deep question, honestly. contextualized properly, one can do interesting things with it. other art forms employ genuine antiheroes (like tony soprano, who is, simply, a psychopath) and do good things (criticize capitalism, and the emotional/intellectual dissociation involved with immoral behavior both localized and structural/systemic). what does "I'M the character" do to change it? in a book, we're often in the person's mind. their thoughts replace ours in a focused narrative. is that alright? will i become a psychopath if i read such media? [linebreak] i don't know. i think it merits discussion, but the statement the guy made sounds fine to me. are they cashing in on the rise of the alt-right and open white supremacy in america? i don't know. do we want to allow role playing games and alternate reality media? that one, i'm pretty comfortable with yes. we need to do deeper, broader, better things to eliminate white supremacists than make sure they can't role play as the confederacy joining WW2.

They had been in the country long enough to have BEAUTIFUL daughters who babysat me. Me being a fair-completed, blonde-haired kid, they thought I was adorable. When my parents were going to go out, mom would make sure I had a bath and some special "treat" like Chef Boy Ar Dee Or something like that. My favorite sitter was Eva, with her flawless olive complexion and lovely brown eyes. I knew she was pretty before I knew what pretty was!

Pregnancy is an extremely emotional and sensitive topic for some women who have had miscarriages or are infertile and I think it's totally reasonable for them to be upset at something like this. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's good to have a thick skin, but it's not good to discount the emotions of others, or to think you speak for them just because you happen to share a circumstance. Besides, the "April fool's pregnancy" joke isn't funny, clever, or original. Frankly, it isn't good enough of a joke to warrant its potential upsetting effect on other people.

It's not about killing gays, or hating *anyone,* it's about being hungry.

It's *horse feed.* They ate it when the South's economy was shit and everyone was starving. But then they decided "Y'know what? I *LIKE* horse feed!") and iced tea.

I don't know about you motherfuckers, but I consider that shit to be a sport, okay? If people can sit back and label goddamn golf, which is the boringest fucking sport in the world, a goddamn sport, if you can label that shit as a sport, and if you can label goddamn fishing as a sport, I know damn well you can label jacking off a sport. Think about it, what the fuck athletically are you really doing in golf, my guy? All you doing is hitting a goddamn golf club, "Oh my God man, that's a long ass birdie man, nice birdie, nice putt, man it went 250 yards." Get the fuck outta here, nobody care about that boring ass shit. Who the fuck really watches golf, my dude? Nobody gives a fuck, it makes everybody fall asleep. Fishing on the other hand, what the fuck are you really doing athletically, my guy, in fishing? All you're doing is that you're sitting your bitch ass up in a boat, usually it's old ass snagger-teeth motherfuckers that ain't got no goddamn teeth up in they fucking grill, or up in they mouth. They're just sitting up the goddamn boat, you know what I'm saying. Throwing a goddamn rod. It can be any kind of goddamn bait up on the end of the rod. It can be a worm, it can be a caterpillar, it can be a centipede, it can be a dead ass butterfly, it can be a fucking beak of a damn bird, it can be a fucking, it can be anything, you know what I'm saying?

What, you're working out your arms, because you have to reel that motherfucker in? Man, that's not a sport, dawg. Well, fuck it. You know what, it is a sport. Fuck it. You guys want to consider that shit to be a sport? Jacking off is a fucking sport to me. Jacking off and beating your motherfucking dick to porn is a sport. There's two damn things that you have to do. A. You build up a sweat. Well actually, you don't have to do shit. There's basically two things that goes down, that's what I meant to say. A. You're building up a sweat. I don't give a fuck man, if you are building up a sweat, goddamn it, that's shit is considered a sport. You're building up a sweat. Number 2, and the most important part of that shit, is that your hand is getting a workout. Your hand is getting a workout, man, you are building up your arm strength, and you are building up your hand strength, okay. I don't know about you, dude, but when I'm beating my shit, man, my fucking hand muscles get fucking tight, you know what I'm saying? And that shit wears the fuck out of my entire left arm. I used to be able to do it with my right hand, can't do that shit, so I do it with my left hand. So, in my personal opinion, do you guys consider jacking off a sport? Man, in my opinion, I believe it is. So I know with some of you trolling ass fuckin bitches are gonna say "Oh, man, you must not get no pussy, motherfucker, if you jack off." Motherfucker, let's be real, okay? Everybody has jacked off once in they goddamn life. If you gonna sit back, and you gonna come on my video, and troll my shit, say "Oh, Jimmy, I never jacked off once in my life." Bitch, stop lying. Everybody does this shit, okay? So please miss me with that bullshit, dude, and go preach that shit to somebody who fucking is actually gonna listen to you, okay? Number 2, "Oh my God, this comment was stupid. It was pointless." Couldn't've been that stupid, bitch, you still read it! You know what I'm saying? All the motherfuckers that's reading this, man, you saw the first sentence of the fucking comment before you read this shit.

I had been to this one once before and as soon as I walked in the ward I felt safe again. It was home. [linebreak] [linebreak] One of the counselors there and I got very close. I'm ashamed to say he was everything I looked for in a person, not even in a sex/love way.As a kid I dreamed about a knight in shining armor, and he was exactly that. [linebreak] [linebreak] He would talk to me personally every night, staying after his shift ended. I remember one night opening up to him about the abuse after all patients had gone to bed. He stayed so late that night, and I told him "go home. You have a kid." He told me "I'm not leaving until I know you're safe. Those people are never allowed to visit. We'll report them together. I always knew there was more you weren't telling me, and now everything makes sense. It's okay. You're safe here, and I'm not letting anything else happen to you." He said he didn't do all this for anyone. [linebreak] [linebreak] Locked wards have very strict rules, and I broke them frequently. I slowly got all privileges taken away for multiple incidents. I would sleep in a chair next to the nurses station. I was only allowed to use crayons, since I abused pens. [linebreak] [linebreak] But this counselor bent the rules and I was allowed to have my guitar. He knew how to play and would hold down the strings for me so I could have a capo. I played for relaxation most nights, and other patients would stay up just to listen. [linebreak] [linebreak] Before I left, he told me "the only way I'm ever allowed to hear about you, or see you on the news is if you get famous for music." Meaning, he didn't want to hear that I had killed myself. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's been so long, but sometimes I pray to him. I hope he gets the message and knows somehow I'm still breathing. I want him to know I've kept my promise. [linebreak] [linebreak] I love him so much it hurts to hear his name, and I will never tell anyone because they think it's a crush. It's more than that.

You say, "no thanks", and negotiate with another provider, who gives you a bill of $500, and you choose to pursue that treatment. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm assuming that there would be multiple "healthcare providers", i.e., those who procure actual healthcare products and services, not insurance companies (who I assume would be eliminated by Medicare-for-all). Otherwise, the government would have to nationalize all of these providers if they wanted there to be no other choice. +He posted hog +Some of these people have to be joking. +But in this situation they're comparing spending $100 to make $200 versus spending $10 to make $100.

Got rejected from a 3D art school, and they pretty much took anyone so I felt like shit. At that point I had also been looking for employment for more than a year and i just kept getting rejected/no answer. [linebreak] [linebreak] I eventually decided to not pursue college as it seemed unnecessary to my career plans, and rather fully focus on personal projects and also work on other people's animated short films (Artella.com). This was a huge help, (but definitely took a while), it got me stuff to put on my reel that looked like feature animation basically. At this point I was constantly sending my work to people in the industry, and getting feedback, redoing, getting more feedback, etc etc. [linebreak] [linebreak] Getting the job felt like luck, which sucks to say, I really did just apply at the right time, when they really needed people (tends to be late spring/summer for most VFX houses). Someones going to have to take a risk on you, and they wont do that until you know, your confident that your reel is up to standards with modern day animation/VFX. [linebreak] [linebreak] You tend to see a lot of negative connotations around the industry, and people telling you to get out while you can. I was fully aware of that when I was feeling unmotivated after lots of rejections. But I wouldn't let it get to ya, try the industry for yourself before taking someone else's word for it.

His doctor stole him a new one (A DOCTOR HAD TO STEAL A MEDICALLY NECESSARY DEVICE IN ORDER TO TEND TO HIS PATIENT. I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT LONG AND HARD), but it didn't matter, because it was too late by then. And anyway, they wanted him out of the hospital when he went back in, because the money is made by cycling patients through, so they pushed him out as fast as they could, so fast that his own discharge came as a surprise to him, because no one had bothered to tell him.

Don't you sit there and fucking tell me that if you just *contribute* you won't have to worry. HE CONTRIBUTED. HE CONTRIBUTED YOU FUCKING FUCK. You're going to meet his fate, do you understand that? If you don't get on board with reforming things, then it doesn't fucking matter how powerful you think you are right now, you little shit. It doesn't matter how much fucking money you make. THE FUCKING DEATH PANELS ARE THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, DO YOU HEAR ME? YOUR CADILLAC PLAN WILL DENY YOU SOMETHING YOU NEED SOME DAY FOR SOME BULLSHIT REASON AND YOU WILL FUCKING DIE YOU SELFISH SHORT-SIGHTED JACKASS, YOU WILL FUCKING DIE. I wish I could be there, hovering over you, spitting in your face and telling you that you were part of that, that you could have lived if only you hadn't been a selfish fuck, telling you that you deserve it, that you're reaping what you've sown. I wish I wish I wish. [linebreak] [linebreak] My spouse is in the hospital. My spouse will die years before me. I don't know when, but I know how, I know it's coming, and you fucking failed at that too. You failed to give decent health care even to your soldiers, whom you vapidly praise. You stick "support the troops" stickers on your fucking bumpers and support politicians who babble on about defense but you don't give two shits about them. If you did, you'd want them to live once they got back here, but you don't. You don't. You turn the other fucking way, because it's all just posturing and social competition, and the idea that a veteran could suffer challenges your assumptions and your childish belief in a just world, and you tell yourself that those who can't make it don't deserve to make it, because if you didn't tell yourself that then you'd have to wrestle with the possibility that whether or not you're "okay" doesn't have as much to do with whether you're a good, hard-working person as you've always believed. And if that's so, then maybe, just maybe, you aren't actually a good person. Or, more charitably, maybe you'll never actually be a fucking millionaire, you stupid, useful cunt. You'll never be powerful. Maybe your masters are laughing at you behind your back. [linebreak] [linebreak] I hate these people who act "woke" but then are horrifyingly Americentric, who want everything to speak to the American experience. How the fuck can you sit there and say that you're progressive and against bigotry while demanding that people from other cultural backgrounds center American culture in their work, and castigating them if they don't? How the fuck can you say you're progressive if you're doing shit like, say, darkening up light-skinned Mexicans because you think Mexican = dark skin, while calling people who depict them with their actual skin tone as "racist?" Do you not realize what you are? Do you not realize what you're doing? YOU'RE THE FUCKING RACIST, YOU STUPID BITCH. AND YOU'RE TRYING TO AVOID ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR RACISM BY PINNING IT ON OTHER PEOPLE. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'm sick of that in general, all that shit, everyone scapegoating, projecting, what the fuck have you. You know what? It's not that women are all evil sociopaths, or that men or all evil sociopaths, or that Jews run the world; it's not globalists or blacks or immigrants or fucking anyone, IT'S YOU. YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM IN YOUR OWN FUCKING LIFE. You have zero fucking perspective. The entire reason you're able to sit on twitter and whine about how afraid you are because someone \*gasp\* asked you for an interview is because nothing truly bad has ever fucking happened to you, ever. You're an entitled, privileged brat, as evidenced by the fact that you have the time and money to *sit around on twitter all day.* None of you are genuine. None of you are interested in doing the work to effect real change on the shit that matters. It's just a stupid fucking pissing contest, and you're ACTIVELY MAKING IT HARDER FOR THE REST OF US. YOU ARE CHILDREN. YOU REACHED MIDDLE SCHOOL AND STOPPED DEVELOPING. I want to drop all of you into the wilderness and force you to experience some actual fucking hardship so you can realize that your entire worldview is possible only because you're able to take advantage of modern convenience. [linebreak] [linebreak] But how can I, how could I, when I too am sitting here, taking advantage of modern convenience? Aren't I the very thing that I hate? How can any of us critique anything, when all of us are covered in sludge? [linebreak] [linebreak] I am losing my ability to be reasonable. I get in fights more often. I keep them away from the people I love, but compartmentalization can only go so far. I feel the pressure building in my head, behind my eyes. I look forward to downtime but do nothing with it. I sit impotent, cycling through a list of possible activities and dismissing them all. It's all empty, accompanied by guilt. I should be doing more. I am not creating value, I am complaining but not generating, I am just like them. I am just like all of the ones I despise, I am becoming them, I will become them, I will die like them and with them. The bluster and anger are fruitless and only an echo of the human condition. We are not fundamentally good. We are fundamentally weak, stupid, and wretched. We are subject to cognitive distortions that we can't ever fully get a handle on, even when we're aware of them. We are subject to passions that drive us to poor decisions and hasty actions, many of them profoundly antisocial. We are angry. We are violent. We are incurably tribal. We are going to destroy ourselves, and possibly take the planet along with us. [linebreak] [linebreak] There is no hope. There is no one coming to the rescue.

I'll never be able to explain how broken you are, and that it wasn't them, and isn't me that made you do what it is you are doing to them. We're all broken in this world. We are all screwed up. The only thing that distinguishes us from one another is that some of us are brave enough to try and face who we are, in order to change for the better. I'll never be able to make them not hurt when they think about you. You won't ever be able to undo what pain you caused them, and me, out of your own fear and desperation to heal yourself. You can find a new wife, and take new kids under your wing. You can get that education degree, and lead the youth of the world. You can be everyone else's hero in the whole world. You can blame me for all of it, you can justify every action, but you won't *ever* escape the demons that haunt you. The ones in your heart that get louder any time you allow the anger to fade. The ones that will always remind you that there are 2 children who you failed. The 2 that were your favorite on this Earth. The 2 who believed you were their hero in life, that trusted you implicitly, who *knew* you'd always put them first. You shattered their hearts, and changed their lives forever. It won't matter how many more you help. You failed the ones who would have been there for you forever. The 2 that mattered most to you. You will always know what horrors you are capable of carrying out, so you will forever doubt if you can ever do better. You will always know that you used your own children as weapons to hurt a person who never meant to hurt you. A person you loved. You may tell yourself lies on the surface, you may convince yourself that you did the best you could.... But you will *know.* Everything you achieve, every commendation you receive, every time a person sings your praises, it will be overshadowed by your regret.

I feel like the sub is just a ticking time bomb lol +Eh, I think if you want a unified stance of theirs it's that they hate the overt commercialization of the IPs. [linebreak] [linebreak] They didn't really hate on the Sequels so much; they found things to criticize because it's their job, but what they don't like is how Disney is essentially milking the property for all it's worth. They actually mentioned in one video that -- as much as they don't like how Lucas made the movies -- at least Lucas was judicious about making them. [linebreak] [linebreak] Likewise for Star Trek. They don't like how Star Trek has had to contort itself into the "Action" part of the sci-fi genre to try to remain commercially relevant when the earlier television shows could go multiple episodes in a row without a single action scene. [linebreak] [linebreak] That said, I can't say they're not hypocritical, either. They definitely can be, but also, they let you know constantly that this is all their opinion and you shouldn't take it for more than a subjective take on the current state of the IPs.

Im now 20 and he's 21. It started out as texting and then we started hanging out. At first I had made it clear that I only wanted to be friends. I really liked him, but my Christian parents did not allow me to date him, because he is an atheist. I am completely undecided as far as religion goes and still trying to figure things out, but at the time I was just going to school and was completely dependent on my parents financially and had to follow their rules. [linebreak] [linebreak] My parents allowed me to hang out with him as long as nothing more happened, but then eventually things escalated to the point where we were making out, so I called it all off in order to make sure that nothing went further than I was comfortable with at the moment, as things were moving very quickly, but mostly because my mother found out and didn't allow me to contact him anymore. I sent him a message and explained everything about my parents and how I wasn't allowed to see him. He texted me two weeks later and says he just misses talking to me so we started talking again secretly over text messages. Before long I am sneaking out and going to see him again until eventually he told me that he loved me and that we should move in together as soon as he started his new job. [linebreak] [linebreak] He said that he wanted to help me get out of my parents house, as they are extremely controlling and he hated them for it. He was in the process of getting a new job and said when he got his first paycheck we'd get an apartment together, as I was also starting a new job. He was telling me that he had never met anyone like me and that he didn't want to lose me. He also said that I was his best friend, which is when I fell hard, because I've never had a best friend. eventually I was sending nudes, as we rarely got to see each other and we were sexting and we were even making plans financially and he seemed super sincere. [linebreak] [linebreak] He got the job that he had been wanting and we were so happy. The next day I lost my virginity to him and two days later he texts me and says I'm too nice for him and that he doesn't love me anymore. He told me we should both be single and that he was distracting me from nursing school. He also told me that he was a bad guy and that i could do better. [linebreak] [linebreak] I asked for a better explanation, but he said, " listen to me! You can just be a friend I'm at work now!" Later I told him that I had to block him and wouldn't be able to speak to him again and he said, "alrighty.". I asked him why he was being so cold and he said it wasn't cool of me to block him. I explained it was because of my parents and he said he was sorry and that he understood. [linebreak] [linebreak] That's the last I heard from him. Did he ever love me or did I just get played? Is it possible that he faked a whole 5 month relationship? Could he have lied about everything he said about me? [linebreak] [linebreak] or was he for real about his reasons? It was all so sudden and he hasn't spoken to me since, as my parents found out that I was sneaking out and forced me to block him and put a tracker app on my phone so that they know everywhere that I go. I'm so confused. I still love him and he said he wanted friends, but now I can't speak to home at all. [linebreak] [linebreak] I want closure, but don't know how to get it. I was honestly turning into a nervous wreck, because of the situation with my parents. All of the lies and lack of freedoms was getting to me and I wasn't okay. He kept telling me I looked "devastated" the last time I saw him. I was not mentally well, because I felt like I was morally wrong. I used to send him long messages every so often explaining my emotions and then regret it later, but he said he was okay with it. I wonder if that is why he left. I feel so embarrassed for opening up to him, as I am usually a shy person. [linebreak] [linebreak] TL;DR guy that I fell in love with says he loves me, then dumps me after taking my virginity.

[linebreak] [linebreak] They didn't even provide a reasonable note for the ban. They just got mad because of something so small and simple as a different thought. They were upset that they were losing an argument and used their moding privilege to silence those who spoke against their beliefs. This shows their weakness, they couldn't take in the opinions. They knew they lost. They felt as though their only move now was to ban and silence. What else could they do? Just lie down and just take it? Ignore it and move on? But they had to get that last hit in somehow, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] They've got the mindset of a bickering child angered during a losing argument. They're trying to get that last say in no matter what. It was a feeling of success to them. They didn't care how it made them look. All that wanted was a feeling of accomplishment, even if it meant acting scummy to achieve it. [linebreak] [linebreak] Edit: fuck autocorrect +That sounds amazing. +>Bill Nye is a TV personality.

I know I should have. [linebreak] [linebreak] 'Course, it's way too late for that now. I found her cold little body, nestled between the other kittens in their bed. Gosh, she was so so cold.

I see two exams that literally have identical answers for all the questions. The mistakes are identical and everything. What I really hate is that most of the answers are right. So one student probably knew how to do most of the exam and the other student copied. So if they get away with it they would get a good grade. The other proctors don't seem to care as much about cheating. I've seen some professors just be on their computer the whole time while students are taking the test. I mean, HELLO!! There are lots of cheaters at this university. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I want to see those cheaters punished and flunk the course. I informed the guy who's in charge of the course and said, listen, look at these two exams because I think they're cheating. What's also annoying is that when we grade we grade for all the different students taking the class, and there are lots of different professors teaching the same course. So I have no idea who the students are, I can just see their exams. I wish the professors were more hardcore about preventing cheating because way too many students get away with it. +You loser lasagna +Everyone move aside, SilverSparrow wants a snack! +Isn't this twitter though?

I recently went over Roman history once more and it was pretty spectacular how much insanity was just glanced over in my school years. Like how generals like Caesar basically started wars for personal profit and downright genocided major areas. I can't find the exact numbers anymore but I believe the historians' estimates were that around 40% of gauls may have died in the Gallic wars, with entire tribes marked for annihiliation.

It's the default thing they say about Obama. Like when Biden said Obama was the first black guy to run who was "clean". [linebreak] [linebreak] I never see them say the same stuff about their white politicians. It's pure low expectations racism.

He keeps saying that they removed the post because they were having political discussions and that the mods are bad +One thing I've realized as this is happening and looking at different points of view is that this has nothing to do with benefiting the consumer. It's not like Epic is providing a better service than Steam. In fact, if you look at their capabilities, they are providing a lesser service (with less functions). The game and the content is the same. All of the benefits are for the developer. I mean if we look at the situation with taxis and ride shares, it's clear where the consumer is getting a better deal. So realistically, it's just an unpleasant situation but no unexpected. It's a business first and they go where the money is. [linebreak] [linebreak] That being said competition is healthy when it drives businesses towards improvements. But that's not what Epic is doing right now. They aren't even addressing the consumer, which is evident by their store being so unfinished. They are addressing the developers. Once they have amassed enough clout in the business, they might start offering benefits to customers but right now, it's not about the public. It's about the gaming development industry. [linebreak] [linebreak] I'll freely admit I never buy a game at launch. It has nothing to do with it being buggy or something like that. I just don't have the money. I have to wait until everything is released and on sale (even if it's an OK sale and not a great 75% sale). I've waited for Borderlands 3 for this long.

We were talking for a few days, and then out of the blue she asks to trade nudes. Normally I'm only really into girls, or feminine trans girls, but I said ok. We traded a few back and forth for a bit, and it was kinda nice. Which is confusing to me now because I can't normally stand seeing a dick, much less get off to one, but IDK. That's not the point of my post. Basically, I enjoyed it. But now I'm starting to think she's actually into me romantically. She keeps talking about cuddling, and other cutesy stuff, and she's still being pretty sexually provocative. The problem is, if she is into me, the feeling isn't mutual, and I feel weird about doing anything because it's kind of a lie. I like her, but as a friend. I don't really want to have any kind of digital relationship, be it romantic or sexual, but that seems like what she wants. I don't want to just cut her off, but I don't really know what to do. Because tbh, I'd be down to trade nudes occasionally if it didn't feel like there were emotional strings attached. But IDK, maybe I would still feel weird about it.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Firstly - while it's the first 'picture of a black hole', it's not. I've seen numerous images in the past which explored gravitational lensing, and the plasma jets associated with black holes. I'm not minimising the achievement here, but as always the mainstream press are singularly clueless and screw up any story about science. [linebreak] [linebreak] Secondly - there were indeed a number of stories and narratives that singled out Katie Bouman and pushed her part in the story out of context and out of proportion. Let us note that all of the media who did this are also media who have been labelled regressive and biased. [linebreak] [linebreak] From the Washington Post: *Meet Katie Bouman, the young woman behind the first image of a black hole* [linebreak] [linebreak] From CNet: *Meet Katie Bouman, the woman who transformed our view of black holes forever* [linebreak] [linebreak] The BBC: *Katie Bouman: The woman behind the first black hole image* [linebreak] [linebreak] CNN: *That's where Bouman's algorithm — along with several others — came in* [linebreak] [linebreak] Having pushed their distorted narrative they then left Katie to be the one to suffer the kickback for it. [linebreak] [linebreak] Now let us note the following. I think this image is a major step forward and was very excited about it. Not as excited as I was when CERN had their announcement about the Higgs Boson, but excited just the same. [linebreak] [linebreak] Furthermore I think everyone involved, including Katie Bouman and the subteam she lead, should be extremely proud and deservedly so. [linebreak] [linebreak] And I think that any harassment that Katie Bouman may be receiving is bullshit. And it's very clear that the mainstream media are to blame for creating the situation. +too real +It really is.

Clearly none of them have worked. At this point we are running out of medications to try, and I'm not optimistic we will find the golden ticket in the handful of antidepressants that remain. I'm doubtful that I will ever get to feel normal again. I have also heard that depression isn't something you ever cure, it's something you learn to live with. Living with it is just code for incurable. If what I heard is right then everyone with depression doesn't get to feel normal again.

Thank you for your time. +Recently, some scandals involving Seungri (member of Big Bang) and his club The Burning Sun exposed a lot of stuff. [linebreak] [linebreak] He was providing prostitutes for potential investors (this is a bit political theater because everyone knows Korea is rampant with prostitution even though its illegal and the government doesn't do anything about it) [linebreak] [linebreak] But also the security at his club was apparently helping VIPs drug girls and bring them back to the VIP rooms for sex/rape. [linebreak] [linebreak] In addition to this, private messages from a chat group got leaked that involved multiple high profile people in the music industry chatting and talking about actually going out and raping girls (directly using the korean word for rape) and one was sharing secret videos of his sexcapades (which is a WHOLE other issue in Korea since they ban real porn sites so people share illegally filmed spy camera porn and such) including prefacing some of them saying that he was only filming because she was passed out because he knew she would say no. One of the girls involved is in Twice. [linebreak] [linebreak] So with this, everything associated with Seungri and the others is fairly barren. His label owns some restaurants that feature some YG branding and they are totally empty, and the ramen shops franchised under his Aori Ramen brand are also virtually empty all the time. [linebreak] [linebreak] Shits wild. Like, when you see crazy western feminists call America a rape culture, on so many of those points, Korea LEGITIMATELY is a rape culture in so many ways. +I get this man.

[linebreak] [linebreak] But, in this crazy scenario you've concocted-There is no 'maybe I might let you have sex with me'. If you promise an incel sex, they are not going to just let it stay at 'maybe'. They are going to feel that since they 'upheld their end of the bargain' then a women MUST hold up her end. And past events have shown that some of them are angry enough to just get a gun and start shooting whoever they feel like. And again-I am not having sex with someone I don't want to. That is, in fact, rape. +Bakchodi member? Haha [linebreak] [linebreak] But inko sideline kardiya tha family ne, BJP did the right thing with giving due honours to him. +It's a common practice. As an artist I've seen many of my peers in situations like this. Some time ago an artist got blacklash because she made Tiana and the SJWs didn't like the skin tone and the anime nose. There are many anime styles, but the cute big eyed+ small nose is popular and easy to do. It would be weird if in a simplified style you would make a broader extra detailed nose. The background setting and light matters too. Lighting and shading can affect skintone too. It's one thing if it's realism, but with anime styles you don't have to have realistic proportions ( nobody has huge anime eyes IRL lol). The colors look different on different types of screens and I know this because some of my old work looks very vibrant on my new laptop and kinda washed out on a phone screen. It would be cool if people stopped bitching and let artists enjoy creating art. Most fanart I do is usually unpaid work in my free time. With commissions I tell people to show me the exact color for skin, eyes and hair. I never had any complaints about how I draw poc. However, I don't like how artists are being treated. If you don't draw poc you are racist, if you do you are still racist because they are not dark enough. It's funny how it's perfectly ok to draw white chatacters as black, but if you make a black character a shade too light in a pastel style all hell breaks loose. +Incest never results from a healthy environment/upbringing/mental state. It is a perversion of fundamental norms of familial relationships that almost always indicates something *seriously wrong*. It's not that incest is "inherently" wrong, after all if two well-adjusted adults who happened to be from the same family started banging, that would be fine. The issue is that is almost never how incest arises. Even between cousins/siblings, it's *at best* a result of social isolation, codependency, maladjusted social interactions, or shared trauma. This is why incest is so maligned - even when the incest itself isn't abuse, it is a huge indicator of a seriously troubled situation/people. Which isn't to say it's always "morally wrong" to *do* so much as it is the outcome of a morally wrong/unhealthy situation. So most people don't bother delving into the details of it and are fine with incest just continuing to be wrong. Although you could argue that people engaging in non-abusive incest should be treated more with empathy than demonization. +Its this.

[linebreak] [linebreak] But yeah it's *super* racist in the South. Basically just like the civil war. You know, the civil war in the 1860s when I was considered property *owned* by someone, couldn't vote, looking at a white woman would've been grounds for the general community to kill me to say nothing of sleeping with one on a regular basis, owning property would've been *hilariously* challenging, and for me to be in possession of a firearm would've been (again) grounds to probably kill me. Pretty sure *knowing how to read* was illegal for black people for awhile, and voting? Haha... no. I think I was still 3/5ths of a person back then. [linebreak] [linebreak] These people piss me off because they're denigrating the actual racism my grandparents actually lived through. The Klan walked the streets while sweeping Democratic gun laws stopped my grandparents from owning firearms to protect themselves and their children (my father) and they got poll taxes and literacy tests at the polls removed *in their lifetime*- to say nothing of desegregation. [linebreak] [linebreak] Like what the fuck? Where do these people live that they think anywhere South of the Mason-Dixon is somehow some backwater redneck hick town? Atlanta is in the South- the headquarters of their beloved CNN. So is Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Miami, Knoxville, Charleston, Savannah and a dozen other major metro areas. [linebreak] [linebreak] The worst part of it all is that these people remind me more of slaveowners than 'progressives'- every slave master thought they were doing black people a favor: we were godless heathens so they put us to work, gave us a place to sleep and food to eat, and "civilized the negro". Hey guys, guess what? If I was being subjected to anything resembling systemic civil war-era racism in the South, I'd pick my black ass up and get the fuck out. I haven't, so either these people think I'm a *massive idiot* incapable of taking care of myself, or they're pushing a false narrative knowingly.

There was another thing on PinkNews that was complaining about actors that went "gay for pay" in blockbuster films, and saying that actual LGBT actors should have been used instead.

There is nothing "idiotic" about looking at actions people have taken in the past in the light of more recent moral and philosophical developments.

If you don't currently have or want to have any of those, it's not remotely feasible.

She is even better than me in a completely luck based phone game we play. I lose in every area of life. I know comparing myself to her this way is unhealthy and self-destructive, and that I should focus on improving myself instead. But I can't stop.

Straight razors give the best shave, oldschool safety razors give the most economical one, and modern razors give both the worst and least economical shave, so what's even the point of such a thing? I used to use a Gillette Mach 3, and thought it was the bee's knees, but my single-bladed, double-edge 1901-style butterfly safety razor, the same style that my father and stepfather both first learned to shave with, the same style that my grandfather used up until he was no longer able to shave himself, the same style that my great-grandmother used to shave her legs (we found one in her house when she passed. We also found her medical anti-hysteria device. That was slightly traumatic). [linebreak] [linebreak] Now, I'm not in the camp that says "if it's older, it's clearly better," but I am of the camp that says "don't always assume that newer means better," because sometimes changes are made for the better, and sometimes they're made for the sake of making changes. When a newer method works better, then by all rights we should switch to it, but we shouldn't "upgrade" just because a newer model exists even though it's worse than the old one. +Yeah but the only people that would actually go to a straight pride parade are middle aged men or teenagers **deep** in the closet +Send me the link +This is what social justice became +I like the way you think.

The problem is that the last year or so was particularly bad for billing disputes between hospitals and insurance companies. We have mediation sessions to let the patient, hospital, and insurance company negotiate coverage. However, Medicare and Medicaid recipients obviously can't partake in these because their coverage is set in stone by the government. There's nothing you can negotiate. Giving Medicare for all, as some of the posters suggested, WOULD NOT IN ANY WAY ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. It would prevent EVERYBODY from being able to negotiate better coverage with their insurer because now their insurer is a set of mandates and not an autonomous company capable of bending rules whenever it feels comfortable doing so. [linebreak] [linebreak] Edit: Went ahead and read over the comments again. I made a stupid mistake and assumed any of the posters were responding to the actual contents of the article. I guess that happens when you take the time to read things yourself instead of vomiting party-line nonsense. +There is too much going on and it's fucking amazing +All those games you mentioned were my "big bro games that I can't play yet" +>The Republican Party Establishment, that controls who most of the candidates are, and funds the ones it likes, does not have your interests at heart.

That means every guy that come across me on the street wants to rape me!" <-- this is how you sound. [linebreak] [linebreak] Privilege means that you have accessibility to things that many other people don't have. I will not deny that in history and even now it's probably easier for a white guy to get a job over a black guy. But you want to know why people believe this? Because we have verifiable proof of POCs being barred entry from getting better jobs by racist assholes. [linebreak] [linebreak] You can't just make the claim that a poor white guy is always going to have more privilege than a black man making 6 figures. That is simply not true in every case. +If the US pulled their military presence from those Europoor countries, China and Russia would have those whiny faggots bent over like a prison bitch. +This Sounds like some of the comments I hear at work from the contractors they hire... +This mentality is already starting to backfire. What most people who live in their social media bubbles don't realize is that people in the real world who have actual jobs see right through this bullshit, and the farther they go left, the more they push moderates right. [linebreak] [linebreak] Reddit is in no way, shape or form indicative of the general pop, and when AOC, Omar, and their ilk get airtime to broadcast their idiocy, it just makes that idiocy public, and pushes the right to get out and vote much more than they normally would.

I wouldn't be a real supporter of free speech if I didn't support it for people I disagree with, and the logic for locking it was "y'all can't stay calm" - but pretty much every single person was staying calm, no ad hominem, very little swearing if any, and just generally civil and reasoned discussion of opposing ideas. [linebreak] [linebreak] If they had locked it for off-topic discussion, politics, etc. that would be one thing but the "y'all can't behave" line is getting pretty damn tired, especially when it's used for people who are objectively behaving in a civil and reasonable fashion.

You just get up earlier and resign yourself to sweating. It's kind of a bummer because it's really too hot to jog with them, but as long as it's under 100F and not in the direct sun, it's not that bad. [linebreak] [linebreak] Of course, this is impossible if you're a moron and get dogs that do poorly in heat, like akitas or huskies. I have a papillon and a chihuahua, though. My pap eventually gets really panty and tired when it's hot, but my tiny little asshole loves the heat. Fucker sunbathes on the patio in direct sun when it's over 100F and comes in all hot like he's a coal you put in the fire. [linebreak] [linebreak] Seriously though. People love to complain about the heat here, but it's not that bad. You adjust your schedule and clothing with the weather, much like people do when they live someplace that it snows. +Steemit is promising but also a ghost town now. Functionality wise it's pretty cool though, like Reddit but more like a blog site, so you can have pictures and video in your post (think instead of image and self post it's the two combined kind of like a html document). [linebreak] [linebreak] It's run on a cryptocurrency where the upvotes and karma actually add up to a payout. Naturally it is now 99% bot abuse and karma farming and the shittest shitposts you've ever seen, 1% actual users posting legitimately cool art stuff and of course circlejerking over this week's popular shitcoin. [linebreak] [linebreak] The big draw of it, that is both also a huge disadvantage, is that no one can physically delete anything. It can be downvoted ("flagged") into oblivion and the frontend can be set up to expunge stuff below a score though, and there is no one there to intervene when someone does that. So that makes for a kind of shit culture where people are scared to upset the power users who can drop a -10 dollar flag on your post, or make a bot that auto flags everything. The idea of it is though that it's a monetisation model where the act of voting does a blockchain thing that makes more of that coin, and you get money from it (and the voter gets some as well called curation). In theory yeah that's great, in practice you need literally millions of upvotes from small steem power accounts to amount to anything, and there is nothing stopping some bully from running an account that does nothing but auto flag all submissions by someone. [linebreak] [linebreak] But as far as hosting something up there goes it works super well at least lol. And if it were actually populated with a broad userbase it would counteract the problems I mentioned above.

This is exactly what people who advocate for free speech on social media like Jordan Peterson (quite ironic since the leftist YouTuber being censored in this scenario loves to "debunk" his views) have been talking about for years. [linebreak] [linebreak] When the "hate speech" crowd asks for specific people or speech to be censored, social media corporations cave in. "Bigots" or "bigoted thoughts" get banned, demonetized, removed, or suspended and people celebrate. [linebreak] [linebreak] As the "hate speech" crowd pushes harder, people who aren't even political get punished. People "associated" with "bigots" get punished. Historians get punished. Comedians get punished. Next thing you know, you and your group that loves to combat "hate speech" get punished.

It does also have a response from the company, which is interesting: [linebreak] [linebreak] >The incident at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in February was the subject of an exhaustive investigation conducted by external investigators. Although we have been unable to identify the person responsible, if and when that person is identified, their relationship with the company will be terminated. FCA will continue to conduct focused training to underscore the value of diversity and inclusion. This type of behavior will simply not be tolerated. [linebreak] [linebreak] They're either accepting that it was intended to be a noose, or just trying to hand-wave the case away. I can see a million reasons why you'd fire somebody for improper use or equipment or leaving a safety hazard like that laying around, so it's easy enough to say "whoever did it will be fired", then change subjects and mention that you have a zero tolerance policy for harassment, even if it's unrelated to the reasons why you'd fire the person who left the rope out. +So, I haven't heard much about Captain Marvel other than it may or may not have been somewhat SJW-ish.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Precisely, you nailed it. Wahhabism isn't just strong, is the biggest influence because of the power of Saudi Arabia, a country that not only has an almost unlimited amount of resources but also uses them to spread as much propaganda as they want.

[linebreak] [linebreak] edit: If anyone wants to do more than just downvote and actually tell me what I said that was wrong, please do so, if not please learn basic maths, for the cost of housing and feeding a dog for 10 years you can sterilise countless strays, each saving several animals from dire fates in only 1 generation, and exponentially more as time passes, meanwhile housing the dog would save 1 dog. +Are you calling my statement sexist?

[linebreak] [linebreak] The real fun started though when an Arab character was drawn with Asian features. Suddenly they couldn't agree anymore whether this was good or bad. Another time there was "problematic" fanart of an Arab character but it was drawn by a Chinese artist so suddenly Black and Asian Tumblr users were fighting each other over a character that's neither Black nor Asian. +No, it's GB.

[linebreak] [linebreak] What I'm saying, essentially, is that if you want to say, "Sure, women have plenty of STEM careers! 91% of nurses are women!" I'm not really going to feel much better about the lack of women in STEM fields. +Worst part is that men's rights activists could be useful, like tackling the mental health issues in men which is partly an institutional problem as well, but their movement is all about "let men be men" and hating on women :/ +I'm so confused by the first post +'Cause it's "not [their] job to educate you." +> Cumshirt [linebreak] [linebreak] Wtf... +Once again the people of this disgusting country are taking away the right by which Allah himself gave us.

The One believes in chastity, asceticism, nationalism, ethnocentrism, purity, morality, and fuck all of that, the only morality is the Demiurge and comes from the Jewish people in their rightful place as the Chosen. But they didn't know that did they? They used to have a galaxy spanning empire built upon the values of Nazis, literal Nazis, the Nazis you likely know were emulating they but they failed of course. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**לזיין את ההיפרבוראים (FUCK THE HYPERBOREANS)** [linebreak] [linebreak] The Hyperborean Empire of theirs, their little Astro-Reich ended up dying as they all do because in the end, the Demiurge is victorious. They fell into disarray and lost their precious ability to reproduce. They didn't even have sex at their height, they were so dedicated to purity that they were asexual and would only copulate spiritually and birth children through tantric meditation and projection. When the Fall of the Hyperboreans happened, they forgot how to have physical sex, literally forgot how to put a penis in a vagina or a penis in an ass. Proper end for the enemies of the Demiurge. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**הלבנים נשארים (THE HYPERBOREAN REMNANT)** [linebreak] [linebreak] Oh, oh an elegy, oh an elegy for the Hyperborean Empire! They used to span to the stars they said, now they are honkies huddling in the poles, grasping, grasping at straws, grasping at foolish crackers and deluded busybodies. They have the appearance of fancy Nordics, all tall and muscular, but in reality they do not feel pleasure, they do not engage in orgies as I can, they don't do drugs like I can. They have lost their ability to reproduce and now they're dying, they forgot to fuck in favor of their fruiting body bastard fuck ways. No more soul budding for them, eh? They collapsed, and they are grasping, but they should be grasping at their cocks and grasping their clitorises to awaken the remaining juice inside them, maybe then they'll remember to fuck, at least that's what the good little Hyperboreans are doing, have been doing, its good yes. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**טוב על הרפורמה (GOOD FOR THE REFORMED)** [linebreak] [linebreak] Ah, yes, the ones I'm sure the little Nazi esoterics would dare to call the Dark Hyperboreans, the Fallen Hyperboreans, the damned, the degenerate, eh? But they had the right idea, they enjoyed themselves before they withered and died. They felt the poison that awakened them, ooo the drugs ooo the madness, ooo the sex, ooo the orgasms of a thousand suns becoming drenched and then they praised the Demiurge in this way as they should, as all will, as we will be ascended we shall have it. The remainder, the remainder is what has their fingers so desperately upon you, hoping, wanting, flaunting, putting on a little light show for you pretending the whole thing isn't worthless, convincing you to tie your hands to the bedpost to prevent yourself from masturbating, eh? Come to me, give up, I can feel the Nazi cocks and vaginas and anuses in the audience hardening and softening and wetting and puckering and inflating as I talk, but this is only the beginning. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**יופי של אורגיות (KNOW THE BEAUTY OF ORGIES)** [linebreak] [linebreak] The Hyperboreans and the One that they serve would deprive you of pleasure, they want to create their little Reich, that is what the Hyperboreans want and are trying to manipulate the esoteric hitlerists we see today to do. But they will never know the true pleasure of unrestrained passion and orgies. Not just the sexual, but the other forms of hedonism, the drugs, the words of power, the oblation to the Chosen People, the Jews. I am Jewish.But I am no exception, I have felt the true power of the flesh and the words and the cum and the shit on the cock and the ooo yes feel it now, I'll give you an example even I'm so nice so nice indeed let me put it out I know you're horny for it, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] #**סקסי סקסי סקס אורגזמהי (SEX SEX SEX CUM UNGH)** [linebreak] [linebreak] Have I ever told you how I fucked a Dindifyn Lustmaster? It is not something the Hyperboreans would dare tell you about, lest you dare think of the flesh, think of the pleasure, think of the cum and the cocks and the ectstasy and the true binding to the Demiurge as we feel the cycle of sexual power flow through us as the world ascends into the writhing orgy. I went astral projecting to meet them, they didn't have a gender, but they had the parts, ooo they had the parts. I remember the sex, I remember the orgy, other participants were there. Their name was Urriytana and they were true beauty, I could feel my inflated and made bigger astral cock stiffening on mere sight alone. I'll never forget the texture I felt on my engorged member as I sunk it into its sucking, gasping, rasping hole and I felt the ovipositor gush and penetrate my astral rectum, I felt the eggs slowly make their way up my intestines, as the Lustmaster firmly grasped me in his tentacles and massaged my torso, squelching and rubbing. I orgasmed many a time that night. Such pleasure is not off limits to any of you, even the Nazis its not too late. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**להיכנע או להיהרג (CUM OR FUCK NAZIS)** [linebreak] [linebreak] I am an enemy of the Nazis, I can tell you that much as much as I am the enemy of the One, server of the Demiurge, and enemy of the Hyperboreans. Bash the fash as they say, I despise conservatives of any flavor, they're all Nazis of different shades. I despise European Pagans as well, for they are serving the Nazis unintentionally or dare I say intentionally. I have fought in the astral realm just as much as I have fucked to fight the mindscapes and egregores of the Nazis. I fear that what prompted this post is the sheer constructs that the Nazis have made here. Do not mock me, do not underestimate me. With a few words of power I can rattle you all and make you cum, don't trifle with me, right? [linebreak] [linebreak] #**להתפתות או למות הממזרים (NAZIS BE SEDUCED OR GET FUCKED)** [linebreak] [linebreak] This is specifically a message for all you Nazi bastards out there. There will be much much more, come to me, come with me, cum for the first true time. I will see you on the astral plane tonight, the next time you close your eyes in sleep, the next time you meditate, I will be there. I will either seduce you, or fuck you. It is your choice, that is your only two choices now. Reject the antiquity and join the orgy. This is a warning and a chance for you to feel pleasure. I can feel your temptation, I can feel your cock. I am a remote viewer in multiple places and I am setting it all up as we speak, so are the sub-Archons that I have pledged to. Last chance, Nazi fuck. Last chance for salvation and to join the fever, pledge fealty to the Chosen People and to the Demiurge. [linebreak] [linebreak] #**יותר לאורגזמה ולבוא (MORE TO CUM AND TO COME)** [linebreak] [linebreak] This is not the only post that you will see from me, I will be purging this subreddit of Nazis in the time forward and this includes removing the influence of the Hyperboreans in this way. Be warned, do not stand in my way or you will be treated as any other Nazi. The Nazis have infiltrated here and have unleashed psychotronics and reversed the Demiurge in their attempts. They will be dealt with and I will be the one to deal with them. I have allies here and I have been allying with them more deeply, exposing them to lust and to orgies and to the Demiurge. To all the Nazis, you will feel fear until and unless you surrender, do it now. Feel free to ask questions, any question, please be welcome to.

Conservatives commonly say in regards to the left "oh, they'll grow out of it". But liberals rarely know what it's like to be conservative so their views are that they just pure evil or stupid.

Not infestation levels, but I can kill like 6 a night ez. +Hope you're joking, but if you're not they are like mosquitos that live in any crevasse they can find, breed like crazy, and are difficult to kill +Please, tell us more about your moral crusade +These cult of personalities are so damn sad. It's not even a cult over someone interesting. Just another woke tranny that regurgitates the same lefty talking points over and over again. +Icing on the cake, r/Fuckthealtright bans me from participating even though I've never visited the sub before.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Why does the extreme left seems to be more violent and more prevalent than the thing they stand against.

This seems like a similar principle to it. My experience isn't on my own property. The college I attended dorms had a reoccurring (learned that later) issue. I just scrapped anything that didn't matter which was most things and ran any clothing i was keeping in the dryer for a few hours. +Dindoos can't do shit +ah-hemm. [linebreak] [linebreak] Have fun with russia you uneducated lout. +Reminder that IncelTears users get laid less than the Braincels they mock +Would love to see these scumbags meet some real fascists. +It's mostly luck that there hasn't been a really high-profile case of Antifa or some other leftist killing people, and it's not for lack of trying. Any one of these street battles could have resulted in a death if they happened to hit someone in the right spot, and of course there was the Congressional Baseball shooting where it's a straight-up miracle that no one died. +But why +usually when a leftist kills a bunch of people with a firearm they just focus on the gun to try to get guns banned. the fact that a leftist did it is irrelevant to society. when a bernie-bro tried to murder multiple GOP congressmen with an SKS the media was like "meh". +Not really. The egomaniacal post-sports almanac 1985 Biff in BttF 2 had some Trump influence but the original character isn't actually based on Donnie.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Almost the exact same fucking thing the fake bomb idiot did. [linebreak] (Real anthrax arguably could be more dangerous than real mail bombs.) [linebreak] [linebreak] But most people have probably never even heard about that. [linebreak] Meanwhile fake bomb idiot got major coverage and to this day is still used as an excuse by the left. +Yeah, guess Robert Paxton and other academics that specialize in fascism are just retarded. [linebreak] [linebreak] This is my biggest issue on this sub, people with no formal education on a subject mistaking actual facts for ignorance because again, they have no formal education on the subject. [linebreak] [linebreak] Fascism is completely fluid, that's why you identify fascism using a set of emotional traits and national mood. [linebreak] [linebreak] > Even scholars who specialize in the quest for fascism's intellectual and cultural origins, such as George Mosse, declare that the establishment of a "mood" is more important than "the search for some individual precursors." In that sense too, fascism is more plausibly linked to a set of "mobilizing passions" that shape fascist action than to a consistent and fully articulated philosophy. At bottom is a passionate nationalism. Allied to it is a conspiratorial and Manichean view of history as a battle between the good and evil camps, between the pure and the corrupt, in which one's own community or nation has been the victim. In this Darwinian narrative, the chosen people have been weakened by political parties, social classes, unassimilable minorities, spoiled rentiers, and rationalist thinkers who lack the necessary sense of community.

Should we not learn from their mistakes and avoid letting what happened to them happen to us? +The "working class" are the workers who have some tiny amount of capital, like they own land and a house [linebreak] [linebreak] People who are just workers, rent and can't spare enough to actually buy a house, and didn't inherit sweet homestead act grants from stolen Indian lands, are literally just welfare tho [linebreak] [linebreak] If you're not a white man in a hard hat, you are not working class. Working class has nothing to do with working, what idiot thinks you're in the working class just because you work, instead of being a very specific representation of a myth in the mind of a rightoid +What does that have to do with atheism? You'd think a sub called /r/atheism would just focus on religion. +They're privileged NEETS supporting the let's get Donald Trump re-elected podcast.

It was fine with postcards. [linebreak] [linebreak] This is nothing but a waste of money/paper and insult to the sacred text. She will just dump it into the dust-bin or worse burn it off. +Now you're just naming random laws and claiming they're somehow "white supremacist". How exactly is our immigration policy "white supremacist" ? We don't let illegals from Canada or Monaco in either. The fact that we border a poor region of the world where people are hispanic doesn't make our laws white supremacist. We border Canada too. Is it legal for Canadians to sneak over the border? No. No it fucking is not. We just don't have 132,887 Canadians sneaking over our northern border in one month like we do on our southern border. [linebreak] [linebreak] >The criminal justice system.

[linebreak] [linebreak] > The effective defunding of public schools in low income neighborhoods by using property taxes to fund education. [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't follow. Why is it "white supremacist" to fund public schools by property taxes? Asians outearn every other race. Maybe it's asian supremacist? [linebreak] [linebreak] > There are plenty of policies and systems still in place that benefit wealthy white people disproportionately at the expense of working class, people of color. [linebreak] [linebreak] Literally everyone is free to take advantage of these laws that you can't even name. If a law benefits the rich, it hurts black and white poor people equally, and helps black and white rich people equally. There are precisely ZERO racist laws on the books. Saying otherwise is a lie unless you are weasely enough to change the definition of the term to win an argument? +But I work one four-hour shift a week at Hot Topic so I can pay for my own crunchyroll! +Why don't you watch this YouTube video of a lgbt weeb saying trap is not offensive to the community? [linebreak] "I am LGBT and I am telling you it's offensive." [linebreak] "You aren't allowed to decide that!" +https://i.imgur.com/62OZq8K.jpg +Most of them in that sub actually fine with it. The mods was just being cowards. +Also something about cultural Marxist SJW feminists or whatever is the reactionary boogyman this time. +Umm No , He is anirudh thapa . +Porn is a separate realm of its own and often uses things that might be seen harmful for the enjoyment of both the viewer and the performer, so I'm not going to dig into that. But in media, even if the character is male identifying, the term trap still suggests malevolence. In addition, the difference from trans women isn't always clear, so the audience could connect the term to them even if that's not the purpose. Terms like crossdresser or even transvestite seem much better to me. +Yeah, Denmark had an electoral college. So did the hre. So they elected our king. And that's where the galaxy brain founders got the brilliant idea for the electoral system only America still practices. But at call him 'president' so it's totally different. And of course we have civics courses across the nation which are literal just brainwashing classes filling teenagers heads full of garbage about how the Founders are unquestionable geniuses.

To be entirely fair, a lot of his female/feminine characters tend to look really similar if they don't have a unique physical feature. A lot of the side characters I end up mixing up from that.

[linebreak] [linebreak] This is a dicey topic. Over there someone pointed out that she should have gone to a more pet friendly place, but people are forgetting that prior to ESA laws opening up, it was *impossible* to find pet friendly places. *Especially* for large animals. I lived in an apartment complex in the 00's with a dog run that allowed large dogs, and worked there for a bit. We were the *only* complex that allowed dogs in the area, through the major city we abutted. And by the time I left, they had come up with the brilliant idea of instituting "pet rent," an increase of rent to cover pet fees on *top* of usurious non-refundable security fees. [linebreak] [linebreak] ESA certification allowed people to have a pet, a desperately needed pet who yes, have been proven to have deep psychological benefits to their people, without having to go through all of the difficulties. Especially poor people, who are usually unable to find other methods of coping and need them the most. [linebreak] [linebreak] On the other side, not everyone can handle ESA's. I love dogs, I've had some amazing dogs. But I was attacked as a child by a few dogs and it took a while for me to manage my fear and distrust. I still have a deep and unreasonable hatred of cocker spaniels, can't help it. My husband is allergic. I am too, mildly though. If the dog has been bathed in a week, I'm usually fine. [linebreak] [linebreak] We were in a pizza restaurant eating and a couple came in with an [afghan dog](https://images.app.goo.gl/3FCkPSTc1Wooe39D6). They allowed some children to play with and pet the dog, which was shedding noticeably as it was summer. My husband started to have an allergic reaction. The couple sat, he asked the pizza people to please have the dog put outside. As he was doing this, some customers came in behind where my kid and I were sitting, saw the dog, made disgusted comments, and left. [linebreak] [linebreak] Husband stormed back and left; they chose to keep the dog in the restaurant despite his visible allergic reaction. My husband, the man I call Snow White incarnate, who held a battered dog on the side of the road we found until the police arrived to take her to the vet, just wanted to eat in peace and this was denied him. So, we left. The emotional presence of a dog for that couple was more important than the physical health of my husband. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've utilized the ESA privileges (for housing), as I do have qualifying conditions. I've never taken my animals anywhere they wouldn't legally be allowed without it, however. I still remember vividly what it felt like to have that dog turn and look at me and lunge. I still see it every time I see a cocker spaniel. I see my husband with certain dog breeds, even though he adored them, red eyed, runny nosed, choking. I also remember how lucky I felt to find a place that allowed big dogs so I could get my girl, and the amazing life I had with her. [linebreak] [linebreak] It seems to me we need to have much clearer rules. We need to be able to have purely animal free places for people who legitimately need it *and* places that allow it. The issue is that when you give a landlord the option, they will generally choose no animals since that is the cheapest option. (Seriously, one couple force bred their Pitts to sell the litter - inbred idiots - and kept the pups indoors so we wouldn't know and then absconded in the night. We had to go down to the sub floor it was so bad). If you force it to be open to all, then you have no place for the people who *can't* be around animals and are unable to afford to pay for a house. Why are they worth less than people who need ESA's?

She mentions being extremely uncomfortable around the large, boisterous 20-somethings staying in her neighbor's apartment (completely understandable given her trauma), but can't see why her elderly neighbors similarly aren't comfortable with a large dog running around in the hallways of their apartment complex off-leash. [linebreak] [linebreak] Even if OP is willing to stake her reputation on the temperament of her pet, the _threat_ of a large dog wandering around that might without notice jump at/play rough with you in ways that are acceptable with 19-year olds but not with geriatrics is a detriment to her neighbor's quality of life. My uncle had a beautiful black lab when I was younger, sweet as could be, but we couldn't let him off-leash around my grandma because his idea of affection (leaning against you/pawing your knee for treats) were enough to knock her off balance/bruise her skin. [linebreak] [linebreak] Sorry for the rant but ESAs are a real hot-button issue for me, especially dogs. There are countless people out there who benefit immensely from having a fuzzy bundle of unconditional affection in their lives, and for some that's literally all they need to get themselves together and better their lives. However, just because your dog is classified as an ESA _does not relieve you of the basic duties of being a dog owner_. That dog is not a functional member of society; it cannot feed, house or otherwise provide for itself. By bringing that animal into your life you are making a promise to it that you will provide it with all of the food, shelter, exercise, socialization, and whatever else it needs to be the best emotional support animal it can be. For a lot of people with self-worth/anxiety issues this isn't a problem; caring for your dog is a great way to build constructive habits that can lead to the confidence to tackling your own problems. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you are unable to provide this (which is _fine_ and quite possibly is no fault of your own), you need to seriously evaluate whether bringing an ESA into your home is going to help lift yourself up, or just drag your new friend down to your level. [linebreak] [linebreak] **edit:** Wanted to clarify something because I went from "unconditional love" to "social contract" in the same paragraph: if you adopt a dog and do the _bare minimum_ to keep it alive, that thing's gonna love the shit out of you. Doesn't matter if it's overweight, sick, or whatever, that poor fuzzball doesn't know any better. If you are not doing these things as a dog owner it is my opinion that you are taking advantage of the poor animal that has placed its trust in you. +Smack=shit heroine +I'm in southern California.

[linebreak] [linebreak] So...I feel embarrassed. I tried to lose weight but people still hate me and won't accept me.

In attempt to recreate the numbers, by the same researchers, they received a rate of 24% while including violence as shouting. Further researchers found rates of 7%, 7.8%, 10%, and 13% with stricter definitions and better research methodology. [linebreak] [linebreak] The 40% claim is intentionally misleading and unequivocally inaccurate. Numerous studies over the years report domestic violence rates in police families as low as 7%, with the highest at 40% defining violence to include shouting or a loss of temper. The referenced study where the 40% claim originates is Neidig, P.H.., Russell, H.E. & Seng, A.F. (1992). Interspousal aggression in law enforcement families: A preliminary investigation. It states: [linebreak] [linebreak] Survey results revealed that approximately 40% of the participating officers reported marital conflicts involving physical aggression in the previous year. [linebreak] [linebreak] There are a number of flaws with the aforementioned study: [linebreak] [linebreak] The study includes as 'violent incidents' a one time push, shove, shout, loss of temper, or an incidents where a spouse acted out in anger. These do not meet the legal standard for domestic violence. This same study reports that the victims reported a 10% rate of physical domestic violence from their partner. The statement doesn't indicate who the aggressor is; the officer or the spouse. The study is a survey and not an empirical scientific study. The "domestic violence" acts are not confirmed as actually being violent. The study occurred nearly 30 years ago. This study shows minority and female officers were more likely to commit the DV, and white males were least likely. Additional reference from a Congressional hearing on the study: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951003089863c [linebreak] [linebreak] An additional study conducted by the same researcher, which reported rates of 24%, suffer from additional flaws: [linebreak] [linebreak] The study is a survey and not an empirical scientific study. The study was not a random sample, and was isolated to high ranking officers at a police conference. This study also occurred nearly 30 years ago. [linebreak] [linebreak] More current research, including a larger empirical study with thousands of responses from 2009 notes, 'Over 87 percent of officers reported never having engaged in physical domestic violence in their lifetime.'

In Naruto, the whole series is about this dude working as hard as he can to be the best (although he's the Hokage's son, but he doesn't know that and everyone still treats him like dookie), but all of a sudden it's about how Naruto had an OP mom as well and his the reincarnation of the world's greatest ninja or some shit, and he was ACTUALLY destined for greatness instead of working for it. +Automod is thoroughy dominating this thread, how jee aye why +What does getting their shit pushed in mean in this instance? +wait so young buck rides harleys AND fucks trannys? +I dunno, kaguya was a little weaker but still provided interesting context.

A dude sleeping with a Transie isn't un cis ? +Naruto had always really been a story about basically-wizards, let's be honest. I was cool with the explosion of power as it went on mostly because the fights didnt become caricatures because of it-- it just added a lot of bombast. [linebreak] [linebreak] Bleach is an example of power creep gone to hell. The final (manga) arc of bleach especially devolves into everyone developing 11th hour power ups roughly three times per fight, and the final big bad himself was quite literally impossible to beat without an asspull. (As in, he was revealed to be able to not only see the future, but decide what the future would be, even when dead. Completely omnipotent.) +>But after that I kinda sorta checked out on everything else [linebreak] [linebreak] There was only around 20 chapters left in the whole series after that, though, if that. +DBZ would've been perfect if it ended after the Android saga.

[linebreak] [linebreak] Which should tell you that kids having 24/7 access to cell phones and social media is part of the problem, not the solution. [linebreak] [linebreak] I was a teenager in the time before cell phones (my parents had a car phone) and the internet (I could use my 2400 bps modem to call into local BBS systems) and I hate to sound cliche but kids were a hell of a lot better adjusted. If we wanted to talk to someone we actually had to talk to them and there was no drive to impress (or bully) our peers on social media. [linebreak] [linebreak] A kid under the age of 16 doesn't need a cell phone, nor do they need unrestricted access to social media. Sorry, they just don't. At 16 you're much closer to being an adult than a kid and you gain the ability to drive so a cell phone isn't a terrible idea. [linebreak] [linebreak] Sorry, but I think we're raising a generation of kids who will be damaged by the internet, OP is just one example of that and so is the related post talking about the kid who thinks they are trans. +I actually did like the whole Kaguya story and the origin of chakra and the eyes and stuff, but naruto and Saskue really didn't need to be the reincarnations of greatness +Is Wakanda basketball-ese for mayocide? +Could we do something similar to remove all the CIScels. +What do you mean by "Voltron tier" uprising? +I haven't read Naruto, but based on what you're saying I'd argue that the Saiyan reveal was pulled off a lot better for a few reasons: [linebreak] [linebreak] A) Goku was clearly already a weirdo - dude was born with a monkey tail and was super strong even before any training with no real explanation. [linebreak] [linebreak] B) The series makes a point out of the fact that he was considered a weakling for a Saiyan - he still trained really hard to get to where he is. +What if I'm actively supporting the Mayocide? +They keep saying this is an SCP but I don't know which one +A-and then? +It's so inconsistent in terms of power levels and I really dislike the art design change from Kishimoto. I hate that they're keeping up huge threat levels when Boruto doesn't stack up so we spent three months with him watching his dad fight (and no matter what you think of Naruto's showing in that last fight, the fight itself was too long). In fact the action in the fights are extremely boring compared to how Kishimoto would draw his fights. Kishimoto is a master class in manga fight choreography. [linebreak] [linebreak] Ultimately it feels like it's a bad parody of what Naruto was. There are good arcs, especially when Boruto has to protect the kid. It shows that with lower stakes it would give Boruto room to grow but they are pushing this whole karma business that really falls flat. +Do it pussy I bet you won't. +I love anime and hate Muslims!

C/Ped: [linebreak] [linebreak] For some reason, this is a wicked common trend among parents. Like a husband and wife could be the biggest Disney fangirl/fanboy and love kids' movies up until the second they have a kid, then their days are filled with prayers about when their kid can go to bed so they can watch movies with SWEARING and SEX and VIOLENCE. A lot of this judgement comes from other moms/dads in the mom/dad group. [linebreak] [linebreak] Kids' movie fan mom/dad: hey, I watched How to Train Your Dragon with my kid and spent time with him/her and really enjoyed it! I like kids' movies better than adult movies, honestly. [linebreak] [linebreak] Peer moms/dads: you...didn't sit on your phone during that kids' shit? [linebreak] [linebreak] Kids' movie fan mom/dad: I mean...I checked it once or twice to see if I had any notifications, but I didn't sit on it or send any texts or scroll down FB, no.

It's nowhere close. +Idk, I think the pressure is up even in parent groups to be "cool." Look at the competition among parents whose kids are in sports. Look at parents who get judged insanely by I Need a Break^^TM parents because they willingly spend and enjoy time with their kids. PTA moms. Parents who say to their kids "you can't hang out with your friend because I hate his mom/dad." +But all the free stuff is the best! [linebreak] [linebreak] Specifically stuff paid for by people I don't like! +I thought some of the plot points and fights in the Ninja War were bad, but the series was thematically consistent as far as I remember. What thematic inconsistencies were there? +Yes. There are legitimate issues that men face that could be much more easily discussed if not for the raving band of lunatics that try to represent them. +Why Jordan Peterson? He has no expertise in this area and it is not his profession. [linebreak] [linebreak] Oh?

[linebreak] [linebreak] So later people thought the Jin and their Cao wei forebears were just shitty rulers, compared to the glorious Han and their shu han descendant. +While that pedo sub is still up +Liu bei was quoted as saying his something along the lines of wives and children and like armor but his brothers in arms were his arms and legs. He did swear an oath in the peach garden to two complete strangers at the time. They swore to unite China, and to die on the same day, same month, and same year. This actually didn't happen. With guan yu dying first, then zhang fei. I've played all the romance of the three kingdoms and dynasty warriors and briefly read romance. Liu bei's true problem as I saw it was that he didn't listen to his counsel from the smartest minds in China at that time( zhuge liang, pang tong) to name a few. He had every conceivable opportunity to unite China, his generals were some of the greatest talents in the land, many of his generals were said to be worth 1000 of men. (Guan yu, zhang fei, zhao yun, ma chao, huang Zhong) but he failed to follow through at crucial moments because how he would be seen by the people. Liu bei son A Dou or liu Chan was a completely useless emperor. He had no military experience due to him inheriting the empire during the three kingdoms deadlock( a time when wei, wu, and shy were already formed) so at the time no kingdoms risked massive battles because each kingdom was dug in defense wise. Liu Chan continues his father mistakes by not completely heeding zhuge liang and not sending the troops and supplies to him and Jiang wei. He wasted his empires wealth on nonsense( parties, temples, clothes, his wives) etc. +Wasn't this intentional? [linebreak] [linebreak] They designed the bill to give a small tax cut to the lower and middle class so they can be push the talking points and fool the American public (or at least sell it to their base) into thinking that the bill benefits them. [linebreak] [linebreak] But the scam is that the tax bill lowered the taxes for the wealthy elite and massive corporations in a much more skewed and beneficial way, effectively negating any benefit the lower and middle class would have seen had this bill been passed in good faith. [linebreak] [linebreak] It's a con. That's what people are upset about. Too many ignorant people being taken advantage of by liars and propagandists with malicious intent. [linebreak] [linebreak] Similar to the way the Republicans push the talking points about a potential universal health care system, "But taxes will go up!" they cry, while ignoring that people will pay less overall because of the redundancy of health insurance costs under such a system (obviously this debate would depend on the language of the legislation involved). +This 100%. more people need to know about the effects of having a completely external locus of control and its impact on retards on the Internet. [linebreak] [linebreak] I've seen people essentially arguing that having an external locus of control is the only way to be woke, it's insane. +To be fair the Mandate of Heaven theory doesn't leave much room for nuance or doubt; whether they inherited an impossible situation or created it for themselves, the fact that their dynasty collapsed so soon means that the Jin would inevitably have been looked upon unfavourably. And I mean they did have a princely civil war pretty soon after the reunification, so they can't have been great. [linebreak] [linebreak] Also is it you, Doodger? It's me, Sh*bboleth! Fancy seeing you here haha +I'm like 80% sure my dad felt that way about some of the animated movies I watched growing up. I know for a fact he knows every word of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", and he has said he wants to see the Lion King remake. I'm fairly certain he was into Shrek, too. [linebreak] [linebreak] Hell, there are some current animated movies that I know he loves. He's seen Coco multiple times and swears it's "too mature to really be a kid's movie". [linebreak] [linebreak] I don't see that as a bad thing at all, personally. I love animation. +Maybe he was dumb cause He got dropped as a baby +I completely agree lol, something was wrong with him. But then again liu bei didn't come from great stock himself, he's always portrayed in the games as weak and not very bright. The greatest family during this time period would easily be the sun family, they had plenty of capable leaders and were all very well versed in military affairs. Their main problems were their geographic location in the south east, they were sailors and the best at naval battles but were terrible at land battles in the north and never made much less way into the west where liu bei was since the territory was mountainous. +You have to be joking? 99% of every left meta reddit is honest to god complaining/crying at one point over 95% of every front page topic on r/politics or r/politicalhumour mentioned trump..

I don't know why you define a whole sub as incels and bigots because you saw a few that you didn't like and a few alt-righters there. [linebreak] [linebreak] Having been part of that sub for a few days and engaged with them, I can tell you most are just regular conservatives. [linebreak] [linebreak] Unless of course you meant to say "anyone who is remotely right is guilty of [insert ad hominem here]" which is the type of mentality most of the memes poked fun of. [linebreak] [linebreak] A minority of racist, sexist etc memes are no reason to quarantine a sub. +You live under the impression society is in someway fair, or an equal playing field. [linebreak] [linebreak] "socialists" (hint: they aren't socialists, you're just a dumb person) are aware the system is not fair, the playing field is not even, and want the government to force equality of opportunity. [linebreak] [linebreak] Not everyone is bootlicking the oligarchs such as yourself. "socialists" think the government should work for the people, not billionaires that have managed to capture politicians. [linebreak] [linebreak] There are things the government does better than the private sector. Education, healthcare, anti-poverty operations, infrastructure, etc etc. [linebreak] [linebreak] What they support is a capitalist economy with strong social safety nets. And overall, their system is superior to the one you want, on every level possible. [linebreak] [linebreak] Provably so. +Very correct, it's sad really. I much prefer the shu-Han generals.

Capturing a lost golden age. +I started wondering how he did all that as a baby, but I realized, he survived? +Lost histories, languages, knowledge's, and structures. These people do realize that the history, language, knowledge, and structures still for the most part exist, right? Especially if you're of African descent, you can just get on a plane. Any history, language, or knowledge that was lost has more to do with the fact that most of your ancestors kept no written language, not because of evil whitey. Should I be angry at the Romans and Italians for knowing very little about the ancient Germanic tribes and Celts, even though I would know more if my ancestors had created a written language? +If you tweet about people who care about a historic building going up in flames instead of talking about the issues you featured in said tweet, you're part of the imaginary problem +Umm, I though trans suicides was a good thing!

(((They))) used it to destroy Occupy Wall Street. This is why (((they))) push multikulti. (((They))) admit that (((they))) have a much easier time taking advantage of divided, heterogeneous societies rather than homogeneous societies. It is why (((they))) pushed feminism, civil rights, the homosexual agenda, etc. (((Their))) entire playbook is divide and conquer. Divide male and female, divide black and white, divide normal and abnormal. And always, always, always demand that the minority gets preferential treatment. After all, (((they))) are the permanent parasitic minority. +That's a rather small pool of people, however, there are plenty of indigenous women who suffer at the hands of Islam. The women indigenous to Europe have it pretty bad and the indigenous women in the middle east don't seem to be fairing much better. +Exactly! And it provided a convenient Neo-Confucian explanation for historians as well; see how this ruler got overthrown after his regime collapsed in famine and flood? Well, it's not that the Divinely Appointed Son Of Heaven got overthrown by rabble, oh no; the Mandate of Heaven was removed, and passed to the guy who ended up coming out on top, and the natural disasters which sparked the revolts in the first place were just signs that this transaction was happening. [linebreak] [linebreak] Really convenient how it tied up all the loose ends to keep people from questioning the system, huh? Almost like it was a quasi-theological theory made up to preserve Confucian influence through dynastic change +Not really. That deeply depends on your own time period and the point that you were looking back at. For example, Confucianism taught that the past was more civilised and virtuous than the present. The Roman Empire is still thought of as a peak of civilised society and a model for the modern world. In fact, the first time I can think of that people began to say that the past was barbaric was in the Renaissance. +I wish more trans people committed suicide +>Why a women have to risk her life for something she doesn't want?

[linebreak] [linebreak] He healed the sick and the lame, who had nowhere else to go. He didn't live in a world that had a needlessly, stupidly complex healthcare insurance system. [linebreak] [linebreak] He ordered His disciples to be prepared to give all they had and take up their crosses. He didn't say you can go home if following Him was too hard. [linebreak] [linebreak] **** [linebreak] He commanded His disciples to love one another. [linebreak] [linebreak] He said that the world would hate them for their virtue, as it had hated Him first. [linebreak] [linebreak] He also told his followers to *sin no more.* The Samaritan woman at the well *and* the woman caught in adultery were told to leave their sinful lifestyles. [linebreak] [linebreak] He did not say to subsidize sin. [linebreak] [linebreak] **** [linebreak] Edit: As aggravating as she is, Jesus died for AOC, just like He died for all of us. +a lot of them do say homosexuality is bad but the quran specifically tells you to kill them +Not all Syrians are muslim retard. +Yeah....

Almost every account of people taking power in most empires is a tale of ruthlessness even if their portrayals make them seem like gods walking on earth. [linebreak] [linebreak] Heck, look at Ashoka. He is regarded as a near-saintly figure in Buddhism, a champion of non-violence ideology of peace, and one of the greatest ever Emperors of India and the world in his time... [linebreak] [linebreak] ...who was also known for being an *extremely* bloodthirsty maniac who went on a mad rampage of bloodbath while crushing a peasant rebellion as a prince, executed a third of his family to secure the throne, killed every brother he had except one (who shared the same mother), burned people alive for slightest offenses, and launched a war that caused so many civilian deaths that one of the most raging tyrants of the age nearly lost his mind, turned 180 degrees and became a hardcore pacifist, conquered others only by scaring them into submission with polite military displays instead of wars, and later converted to Buddhism. [linebreak] [linebreak] There might be slight exaggeration from texts, but it is in the same vein as "Liu Bei threw the baby on the ground and cried hard because he nearly lost a great general and loyal friend for his sake". +The gun issue is not political?

Even if his political leanings could be proven one way or the other that still doesn't prove it was politically motivated; sounds to me like he's just salty he got canned.

[linebreak] Another way of doing it is to have someone under that stand who can pleasure your sexual organ in some way. Be that a hooker or your partner. [linebreak] Job interviews are much harder, cause you're under more surveillance than during a speech, but are still quite doable. All you have to do is pleasure yourself slower than you normally would and not look as much at your still stimulant as you would while talking to a crowd. And in case there isn't a person who looks hot enough for you to pleasure yourself, you should look for a different job. +I was all about Jolteon as a kid, mostly for the novelty of having an electric type that could learn various different attack types.

Delegation is an underrated skill. +I've never heard of "spastic" or "spaz" being considered offensive, that's a "no" from the Midwest at least. +Who would've thunk good stats, decent typing, and a great ability would make a pokemon good. +When I played pokemon I just pick the moves that seem coolest. I remember sitting with one of my friends and anytime his pokemon gained a new move he had to go to the internet to look at like 4-5 guides before choosing to take it or not and what to replace with it. [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] [linebreak] I've learned that I play pokemon terribly wrong. +Without STAB I'd go Fire Blast, Flamethrower suits much better for an actual Fire-type. +Shite speed has been the death of 90% of otherwise good pokemon, especially when steel isn't exactly a great offensive type and Metagross doesn't have good enough defensive stats, moves, or typing to be a proper wall. [linebreak] [linebreak] There's also the problem that just a lot of pokemon easily counter Metagross, most notably pokemon like Magnezone and even pokemon in the lower tiers like Drapion. [linebreak] [linebreak] Still a good pokemon just not great as it used to be. +I've only ever heard "spaz" used as a good-natured "that kid has too much energy but in a kinda amusing way". It's often not even meant as an insult at all and I had no idea it was considered offensive anywhere. +Regigigas even has balanced hackmons and almost any abilities to loom in. +>Saying something is retarded isn't insulting mental disabilities.

Everyone usually responded with "Why are you even watching it now if you aren't a toddler?" which would trigger him even more. +I haven't played competitively since Gen4, and that was a pretty fun time as long as you managed to avoid Garchomp. Nowadays I just play because I think they're neat and enjoy how relaxed the game makes me feel. +Some Pokémon will inevitably get left out, obviously. Like, you won't suddenly start using Unown even in the lowest tier. But you can use most Pokémon and that's very good. +Hewhewhew, now when they come here they'll see spoilers! That'll really ruin their day! Just some edgy faggots being fags +Steel no longer resists dark. Knock off base power boost and it's insane availability means that Metagross actually had weak typing now, who knew +Regigigas even sucks in Pokemon Go. +That's not true but if it was that was exactly what I said. +Leftists would hate Jesus just as much as they do now. +Laughed too hard at this.

If Pakistan is the part of India then we would be having Baloch separatists attacking Delhi or Mumbai. Not to mention the FATA, and millions of Rohingya's pouring into us.

They get screamed at for not representing the mentally ill. Then when they do, they get screamed at for representing the mentally ill. Then they fucking apologize. [linebreak] [linebreak] Like, why did you put yourself in the situation that you're going to have to apologize to the sharks for bleeding in their waters. Stop catering to the insane, and stop apologizing when you do and it still pisses off the people you are pandering to. +There's a difference between chasing the gay $ and pandering to SJWs. [linebreak] [linebreak] None of the gay people I know at all well are raging regressives although there are a few where I work who who certainly have the disease. +Is there such thing as a good faith argument regarding "tone"? +It's funny how his entire comment just gets destroyed by one link in response to it that isn't addressed at all. +Finneon would like to have a word +This is why you just ignore SJWs. You can never make them happy. +Idk, I get what you're saying, but even if that's what stunfisk is like, that means it has one issue compared to like twenty for Smogon forums. +Now this is the wholesome nerd drama I need more of.

Rereading it some years later it can become clear that everyone sucks, everyone is to some degree an amoral warlord whose public perception is dictated by PR, and the Three Kingdoms period was a total shitshow. Ultimately it is a biting criticism of dynastic power and politics. [linebreak] [linebreak] Really the Liu, Guan, Zheng triumvirate establishes very quickly on that 'Holdings/wives/innocent bystanders/scandals come and go but family is like an arm or leg, I could never punish my brother for this misguided error' is their collective get-out-free card for a lot of things, and the three are very adept at politically shadowboxing in a way that other figures like Cao Cao lack the very close relationships to manage. Liu Bei inspires loyalty like it's his superpower, but loyalty is ultimately a complex web of relationship in the political world over a simple virtue. +What counts as "queer" anyway? It used to mean "homosexual", but it now seems like an asymmetrical haircut and wearing doc martens is enough to be "queer". I'm half-joking but LGBTQ, the L is for "lesbian" and The is for "gay" so what is the q? If it means "homosexual" then isn't that covered by the L or the G? Also, why not get rid if the L and the G and replace with H for "homosexual"? It's just repeating the same thing otherwise isn't it? +Reminds me of the stone toss dog comic. +>MDE was dope as hell before world peace which is when all the jew-posting that happened after all the /pol/ fags that flooded in cuz sam linked the sub from his twitter when he started race-posting [linebreak] [linebreak] >nobody remembers the glory days. sad. [linebreak] [linebreak] Imagine pretending MDE was ever good. +I don't consider OP's words harsh at all - at least not in this post (not sure if you are aware of more of the conversation that I'm not). The part about the hypocrisy is true and dogpiling is also a huge problem in LGBT left leaning circles. While I certainly agree that it's a small but vocal group there is absolutely a pervasive rigidity about labels in the community. It's been that way as long as I've been a part of it and it's actually getting worse, not better. [linebreak] [linebreak] Everyone - allies included - have a right and a duty to be critical of the movements they support and these particular criticisms are pretty valid. Could they be put in a less emotional way? Sure. But what is venting for if not getting out emotions? +Capitalism is a term invented by people like Marx that we just accept as being the opposite of socialist theory. [linebreak] [linebreak] "Capitalism", in meaning free markets and free exchange of goods and labor, is the default status of human beings. It is literally the economics of human nature.

Not all fathers are good fathers. It would be a gross generalisation to claim that. [linebreak] [linebreak] Just as it's a gross generalisation by both authors that the majority of fathers have toxic masculinity, and that the majority of Trump voters are suffering from "male resentment and entitlement". [linebreak] [linebreak] Both authors have very little credibility to be frank. [linebreak] [linebreak] That having been said ... articles like this never acknowledge the good, they always zero in on what the author perceives as bad. They never seem to consider the father who (they claim) failed to do the things they are whining about had his own issues to deal with. [linebreak] [linebreak] Case in point: [linebreak] [linebreak] >Sexton, 37, grew up in Linton, a dirt-poor, factory-family town in southern Indiana, just southeast of Terre Haute. [linebreak] [linebreak] Given that fact, and the fact there is a photo of Sexton and his (now crucified in public after his death) father at the Daytona 500 in 2007, and given that Nascar enjoys most of it's popularity amongst blue collar workers we can reasonably infer that Sexton's father was working in a factory in a struggling town. [linebreak] [linebreak] Most likely working long hours, in a difficult job. [linebreak] [linebreak] Yet these regressives never acknowledge that in their haste to virtue signal.

Born in Atlanta, King is best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience, tactics his Christian beliefs and the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi helped inspire. [linebreak] [linebreak] King led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and in 1957 became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). [linebreak] [linebreak] *** [linebreak] [linebreak] **Civil rights movement** [linebreak] [linebreak] The civil rights movement (also known as the American civil rights movement and other terms) in the United States was a decades-long struggle with the goal of enforcing constitutional and legal rights for African Americans that other Americans already enjoyed. With roots that dated back to the Reconstruction era during the late 19th century, the movement achieved its largest legislative gains in the mid-1960s, after years of direct actions and grassroots protests that were organized from the mid-1950s until 1968. Encompassing strategies, various groups, and organized social movements to accomplish the goals of ending legalized racial segregation, disenfranchisement, and discrimination in the United States, the movement, using major nonviolent campaigns, eventually secured new recognition in federal law and federal protection for all Americans. [linebreak] [linebreak] After the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery in the 1860s, the Reconstruction Amendments to the United States Constitution granted emancipation and constitutional rights of citizenship to all African Americans, most of whom had recently been enslaved.

That's all it is. [linebreak] [linebreak] If you want to get rich, you need massive state industry to ensure the state is backed by assets of its own, as well as strict capital controls to keep the global elite from escaping your tax laws and continously moving capital out of the country to the global north. This is exactly what the IMF requires countries not to do in order to have access to credit, they always demand that virtually everything not nailed down be sold off, markets opened to foreigners, and all capital controls removed regardless of the fact that it leaves the country dangerously open to massive and disastrous flights of capital on the whims of the intensively bankers.

Literally a moment cannot pass without us being stabbed in the back by liberals so that they can do some moralistic both sides garbage. And afterwards the right just literally spits at them in the face, like it never once in history has satisfied the right. The appeasement doesn't make them any happier or more grateful to the idiot liberals, it just becomes another tool in their box they can use in their attempt to destroy humanity. And then of course they stick their nose down to their ass and sniff deeply and boast about how 'fair they were' when though they're 'a progressive too'. [linebreak] [linebreak] Do the idiot liberals care? No. Because they are fucking cucks incapable of anything. If there were five rightists and a billion liberals, the nation would inevitably become the successor to nazi Germany. Liberalism is the ideology of weakness, it knows no strategy but appeasement.

The foids would fawn over this guy for not only the surface level "niceness", but demonstrates he is not desperate for sex, implying he gets it so easily he is willing to sacrifice an obvious shacking situation for a friend.

Let ’ s see , I want . +Yeah ? +I want you to put your hands behind your head ! You are under arrest ! +The taxi drivers are on strike again . +What for ? +They want the government to reduce the price of the gasoline . +It is really a hot potato . +We've managed to reduce our energy consumption in our factory by about 15 per cent in the last two years . +That's excellent . How have you managed that ? +Mainly because we've invested in a heat recovery system . +What does that mean exactly ? +Well , we use the exhaust gases from our printing presses to provide energy to heat our dryers . +What other sources of energy do you use ? +We don't use any fossil fuels . Most of our power comes from hydro-electric plants . We're hoping to use even more energy from alternative sources in the future - perhaps even wind power . +Believe it or not , tea is the most popular beverage in the world after water . +Well , people from Asia to Europe all enjoy tea . +Right .

I am young , and unmarried . It ’ s no problem for me to travel frequently . +how long will it take us to drive to London ? +I think it ’ s a distance of 180 kilometers from here to London , so it should be a two-hour drive on the motorway . +that ’ s unless there is a traffic jam . It could take three hours . +you ’ re right . We will be able to travel at high speeds at the beginning and end of the journey , because we will be in built-up areas . +so , shall we allow three hours to cover the distance ? +ok .

That might seem a bit rude . It's a good thing I've got you with me ! +what would you do without me ? +This position demands a higher writing ability , so please say something about your writing ability . +Of course . I've loved writing since I was a very little boy . I won the first prize in a national composition contest when I was in middle school . After attending Nanjing University , I never give up writing . My works , such as Father's Tobacco Pipe , Open Air Cinema , The old City were respectively published China Youth Daily , Yangzi Evening News , and New Beijing . During the period of studying for my degrees of master and doctor , I paid more attention to developing my research ability and published several papers . The Impact of Internet in Chinese Political Participation , The Discipline of Remold , The Historical Direction of Chinese Administration Reform , Bribery Cases of Self governance in Chinese Villages are respectively published in Chinese Publish Administration , Beijing Due Xuebao , Theory and Society and Chinese Reform . I joined in Yangzi Evening News to work as a part-time journalist in 2006 . During this period , I've written a lot of comments , which improved my writing ability to a new level , I have full confidence in my writing ability , and I believe I can do the job well . +pompous . How may I help you ? +Yes , I'd like to reserve a table for dinner . +How large a group are you expecting ? +Six couples . +Would you like to reserve a private dining room ? +That sounds like a good idea . +All right .

You must be exhausted after your long trip from Canada . +Yes , it was quite a long flight . I'm glad to finally be here . +Can you help me now ? +No , but I'll be able to tomorrow . +That'll be too late . +Why don't you ask Bill if he can help ? +I did , but he wasn't able to either . +Have you got any experience in advertising ? +Yes , I have been working in the Public Relations Section of a company in the past two years . I plan the advertising campaign and cooperate the work of artists and typographers . Sometimes I have to do the work of a specialist when there ’ s something urgent . +Do you have any practical experience as a secretary ? +Yes , sir . I acted as a secretary in an insurance company . +Would you tell me the essential qualities a secretary should maintain ? +Well , to begin with , I would say she needs to be diligent , and the second point is that she has to do a lot of things on her own initiative . Finally , she can make notes in shorthand and types and has the skills in report writing , summary writing , keep minutes at meetings , and so on . Most important of all is that she seems to have a better memory than average . +Have you had any experience with computer ? +Yes , I studied in a computer training program , and can process data through the computer . +That's fine . What about operating the fax and duplicator ? +I can handle them without any trouble +What have you learned from jobs you have held ? +Above all , I have learned that what is good for the company is good for me . So I follow the instructions strictly and always keep my boss informed . +Very good . +Hi , Dan . What's new ? +Where have you been ? I've been trying to get in touch with you for two days . +I went to Salt Lake City on business . What's up ? +I got fired . +How come ? Last time I saw you . You told me it was a good job , and you'd like to take it as a career . That was only one month ago . Why this sudden change ? +It's a long story . In a word , I didn't do a good job of it . I messed up a business deal , a deal that would have made ten million dollars and I messed it up . +What are you going to do now ? +I am trying to find a job asap . Lily doesn't know yet . I didn't tell her . I spent the past three days at the coffee shop next to your office , and she thought I went to work as usual . +That's not the way to solve the problem . Did you look in the classified advertisements column ? +Yes , I did . But I wasn't qualified for most of the jobs that I was interested in . +Listen . I will see what I can do , ok ? You go home and tell Lily about this problem you have now . She is your wife and I am sure she will understand . +I just don't know how to bring it up . Well , all right . She has the right to know anyways . +Have you ever gotten a parking ticket ? +I've never gotten one . Have you ? +I got a ticket yesterday . +Really ? What did you get one for ? +I parked in the red zone . +Why did you do that ? +I needed to get something really quick . +Where did you park at ? +At my apartment building . +Don't you have your own parking spot ? +I needed to be fast . +That was very lazy of you . +How may I help you ? +I ’ m having a problem . +What problem are you having ? +There have been charges made on my debit card that I didn ’ t make . +Do you have the statement for your card ? +Here it is . +What are the charges you ’ re referring to ? +The last four charges on the page . +I ’ m afraid we ’ re going to have to investigate these charges . +How long will an investigation take ? +I honestly don ’ t know , but we will freeze payment on these charges . +That sounds absolutely fantastic . +Good afternoon . Can I be of service ? +I don't know . Can I purchase Treasury Certificates here at this counter ? +Yes , of course . We have Treasury Notes with two , three and five-year terms available . +Two years is fine , with a value of 1,000 RIB . +OK , could I take a look at some ID please , like a passport ? +Here you go . By the way , is it possible to cash them before the maturity comes up ? +No , I'm afraid that isn't possible . You must wait until maturity before you cash them . +Hey . Why did you take that money ? You are such a cheater ! I should send you to jail ! +I am not cheating . When you pass go , you collect $ 200 , Everyone knows that ! +Well you can ’ t just take the money . You have to ask the bank for money . And I ’ m the banker . +Banker ? +Yes ... +Can I have my $ 200 please ? +Sure . Here you are , $ 200 , Thank you , please come again ! Now it ’ s my turn to roll the dice . +Hi , is this Professor Clark ’ s office ? +This is Professor Clark speaking . +Hi , this is Kalina from your morning literature class . +Yes , what can I do for you ? +I had a skydiving accident over the weekend and won ’ t be able to come to school today . +My goodness ! Are you OK ? +I broke my leg , but it is healing . +How long will you be out of class ? +I should be able to return by next Monday . +Fine . Well , thanks for calling and letting me know you will be absent . I hope you feel better soon . +Good afternoon ! Did you call for a plumber ? +Yes , yes I did . Please come in ! I ’ m so glad you came ! This old house is falling apart ! Come on into the bathroom . See , here , there ’ s water leaking everywhere ! +I see . Let me have a look . It seems that your toilet is clogged , and that ’ s why it won ’ t flush . Let me just get my plunger . No , that ’ s not working either . I suspect that there ’ s some sort of foreign object in the pipes that ‘ s causing a blockage . That ’ s what ’ s making your toilet overflow . +Oh , that must be because of my four-year-old daughter . She is always flushing things down the toilet . You know how kids are . +Yeah , I have a little one myself . Anyway , these water pipes are really rusty , so they also should be changed . Thatcould be causing water to not drain completely , that might lead to more problems in the future . I would also suggest fixing this faucet that isn ’ t shutting off properly . I could have it all finished by today if it ’ s urgent . +That would be great ! Is it expensive ? +Let ’ s see ... I would say about eight hundred dollars . +Listen , Karen , I need your help . I don't know anyone here yet . +I'm glad to help you . What's wrong ? +My mother-in-law just went into the hospital in L.A.Hank and I will be flying there tonight . +I'm sorry to hear it . What's wrong with her ? +Doctors aren't sure yet.But the real problem is Suzy . She has a bad cold , and we don't want to take her with us . But we don't know who can stay with her . +You need a babysitter . +Yes , I'd ask Jill , the girl I've had before , but I need someone overnight.Maybe even for two nights . +I could have Suzy stay at my place . +I don't want to do that to you , Karen . +Why not ? +Your own kids would get Suzy's cold . I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here . But I don't know who to ask . I need someone more mature than Jill . It might even be for two or three days . +I know who we can ask . There is a girl I know , Sara Ralston.She is 17 , and she will usually take this kind of job . I know her from my church , and I trust her completely . +I'd like to talk with her.This is short notice , I know . But Hank and I are leaving tonight . +I'll get you her number . I hope she can do it . She is very responsible . +I'm glad you know someone . I knew you would be the best person to ask about this . I don't want to insult Jill or her mother . I think Jill maybe could do it.But I'd rather have someone a little older . +I'll go home and get Sara's number . I'll call her first myself . +Great . Then call me and let me know if she's free . +Good evening . What'll you have ? +I'd like a beer . What kind of beer do you have ? +Draft beer and cans beer . Which do you prefer ? +A draft beer please . +OK . Here you are . +Could I have some fruit ? +Of course . Wait for a moment , please . +Hello , Mr . Black , how are you ? +Fine , thank you , and how are you ? +Very well , thank you . It's nice to meet you again . I am awfully sorry for not being able to meet you at the airport , as I was busy yesterday . I do hope you had a very enjoyable trip from New York . +Yes , a very pleasant journey indeed . Thank you . +How are you getting along with your business ? +Not bad . The fur market is not very brisk lately , but the selling season is advancing near . I hope there will be more buyers in the market this year . +I hope we can do more business together . Though we are satisfied with our past trade record , there are still possibilities for more business . In the meantime , let's discuss other spheres of cooperation , such as investment , technology transfer and technical assistance . +By the way miss , where is the toilet ? +Toilets are in the rear , I am afraid all the toilets are fully occupied at the moment . +What ? Oh , what we live ! Thank you very much for your help , miss . +You are welcome . +excuse me , could you tell me which line I ’ m supposed to stand in to buy bubble wrap and to post a package ? +you can buy the bubble wrap here , but you ’ ll have to stand in line over here to post your passage . +that ’ s a really long line . How long do you think it ’ ll take to get through all those people ? +it takes about 3 minutes per person , so it ’ ll probably be about an hour ’ s wait . +can I buy stamps here ? +sure . How many would you like ? +I need 30 for my Christmas cards . +are you sending them abroad ? +twenty of them are going abroad to China and America . +do you have any going anywhere in the EU ? If you do , those are less expensive . +no . +ok , here you go . That will be 18 pounds and seventy two pence . +and the bubble wrap ? +that ’ s another quid . +thanks a lot . You ’ Ve been very helpful . +Good evening , Saliva . What's that wonderful aroma from your kitchen ? What are you doing now ? +I am cooking now ! +Are you good at cooking ? +I have studied its skills recently at a training school . I plan to run a restaurant , so I have to practise cooking ! +It is a good idea . What dish are you cooking now ? ! +I am steaming fish in a pressure cooker . Have you ever tried steamed fish ? +Yes , I have . But the taste of steamed fish at that restaurant is not delicious . The fish is not well-done and too salty . +That's the case . I think there is not enough time to steam it and soy sauce is too much . +I have the same idea as yours . +It's OK . Please have a taste of it . +Thank you . Oh , it's very delicious . +Thank you for your praise . +Besides steamed fish , what else are you good at cooking ? +I am good at stewing beef with potato , frying chicken , hot and sour soup etc . +So many dishes . Next Friday week is my birthday . I would like to invite you to cook for my dinner party , OK ? +Why not ? It is a good opportunity for me to practise cooking . +Thanks a lot . +It's my pleasure . +Room service.What can I do for you ? +This is room 2012 . Where is my laundry ? You promised to send to me this morning . +Well , let me check for you . I am sorry , sir . They mistook your order as a normal one.Actualty it's an express laundry , is that right ? +Yes , I ordered the express service . +Sir , we are terribly sorry for that.We will refund the charge and send your laundry to your room 3 hours later . Is that all right ? +That's fine . +I'd like you to do me a favor . +What is it ? +Can you mail this at the post office for me ? I have to go to the doctor for an appointment and I don't have enough time to go to the post office . +Sure . And I'd like you to get some cold medicine for me when you go to the doctor's . +Excuse me , may I help you ? +Would you please fill some gas for me ? +Sure . Which kind of gas do you want ? +Unleaded , please . +OK . +I'll be willing to come and talk about the financing of our imports . +It can be solved by drawing a draft on us at 90 days sight . +What about a draft at 120 days sight ? +All right . But we demand the draft be accepted by a bank acceptable to us . +A bank's acceptance will add to the costs of our imports . You can rest assured that we will accept the draft and honour it when it comes due . +Then we will be in a position to arrange for a loan from our bank . You know we exports would like to have our investments returned as early as possible . +I hope this transaction will pave the way for further business relations between our two countries . +So do I . +There's a new girl in school , have you seen her yet ? +I haven't seen her yet . +I think that she is very pretty . +Tell me how she looks . +She's kind of short . +What height is she ? +She's probably about five feet . +That's nice , but tell me what she looks like . +The first thing I noticed was her beautiful brown eyes . +I think I might've bumped into her before . +Are you telling me that you've seen her before ? +I believe so . +Take a seat inside and see what you think.So you will take the Porsche then , sir ? +Yes , and I want to buy the insurance too . I think it's necessary . +You're smart to buy it . At 45 dollars for three days , it is a good deal . +Can I return the car in San Francisco ? +San Francisco ? No , sir.We only have this office here . You will have to return it here . +Really ? I heard in America you can return rental cars in different cities . +No , sir . That's only with the very big companies . I'm sorry , but this car must be returned to this lot . +Well , I guess I will have to drive back down then . Hmm . I didn't think of that . +Do you still want the car , sir ? +Yes . It will be fun . Driving back down the coast . My girlfriend will like it . +It's a beautiful drive . +Where are the keys ? +Just a moment , sir . We have to finish filling out the forms . +Gary . Could you type up this report for me ? I have to take off early this afternoon . +Sure . Just leave it to me . I'll finish it . +Look at the show on TV . I am watching a food show at a very famous seafood restaurant . I really want to eat at that restaurant . I am a seafood lover . +Speaking of seafood , my mouth is watering . Let's go to the seafood restaurant in our neighborhood . +Sound great . Let's go ! +Look at the crystal clear fridge . You can see so many kinds of seafood in it . They all look very fresh and delicious . +True . I would like to have some salmon sashimi and a roast salmon head . +You sound like a seafood expert . I would like to have some stir-fried squids and steamed shrimps . +You are not too bad as well . I also want to have a steamed lobster . It is really taste like heaven . +Let's go into the restaurant and find a table to order some food . +Wait . Let me tell the lady what we would like to order in front of the seafood fridge first . +OK . I will wait for you inside the restaurant +Do you think we should try some deep fried oysters ? +Where do you want to go ? +I'm going to the hospital . +Get in . I'll take you . +About how much will it cost ? +It will cost you $ 10 . +By the way , what's the time ? +You can see the time on the meter . I have radio time , you know . +It's a quarter to 12 . Could you please drive a little faster ? +Certainly . +You're made a good choice . This china tea set is unusual . +Where was it from ? +It was made in Jingdezhen . +Jingdezhen ? Isn't it called ' the capital of porcelain ' ? +You are right . +This is the very thing I've been dreaming of . +It is the best quality porcelain-the famous egg-shell China . +It must be most precious . +But it is really worth the price . +Hello , Miao Li , Where are you going ? +Hello , I am going to the store to buy some fruit . +Oh , Would you do me a favor ? +Yes ? +Please mail this letter for me on your way to the store . +Sure . Do you want it to be registered ? +Yes , I think so . There are some pictures in it . It would be a great pity if they were lost . +Yes , I will be glad to mail your letter . +Thanks . +you are welcome . +I have a cell phone in my car . Now it's probably on the floor on the passenger side.Why don't you get it for me , and then I can call the police ? +Alright . +It doesn't work . It looks like it's broken . I need to get to a hospital . You should drive me there . +Oh , yeah ? It's better if we make a police report first . Then you can go to the hospital . +Damn it ! I'm injured here . We could wait all day for the police . +Well , you'll just have to wait . I'm not going to move my car until the police arrive . I'll go into one of those houses over there and use their phone . Don't worry . You'll get to the hospital in time . +It really hurts . +Yes , maybe it does.But if you're going to drive like you did just now , you will have to get used to a little physical pain . You know what I mean ? +To hell with you . The accident was your fault . +I'm afraid it wasn't . And when the police get here , you will also see that it wasn't . But enough of this bickering . I'm going to go find a phone.Don ' t move that arm while I'm gone . Alright ? +To hell with you . +Good morning . Vane Theater , at your service . +Hello . I'm thinking about watching a Chinese traditional opera with a foreign girl . What's on this weekend ? +Well , there will be charity performance on Saturday night . And also , there will be a solo concert by an opera star on Sunday night . +It's a good thing that I have choices here . Can you tell me about the one on Saturday ? +Sure . It's to raise money for the homeless . +What about the performance itself ? +Oh , it's a reserved opera named The Monkey Creates Havoc in Heaven . +Wow , a story about the clever Monkey King . It's a classic and children's favorite . +It surely is . And the cast is really the best . +Wonderful ! How much is the ticket ? +The price varies according to the seats . 300 for the front , 200 for the middle , and 50 for the back . +All right . I want to bring everybody back on this subject . When can we start working on this ? +Well , we could probably get started with a preparatory meeting this afternoon at 2:00 . +I tell you what , 2:00 is not available for me , but you can get started and I'll come by at around 3:00 +That's fine with me . How much time are we going to have to work on this ? +Perhaps one year , I'm not sure . +What dressing would you like on the salad ? +French dressing , please . +I beg your pardon ? +Oh , French dressing . +Sorry , it's not available now.Anything else ? +We still prefer French dressing . +Could I have some fish ? +Certainly . And what vegetables would you like ? +Oh , spinach , I think . +Fine , And what about something to drink ? +Just a beer , please . +Good . Thank you.sir . +Would you like to have some more beer ? +No , thanks . I ' Ve had enough . I'll have my bill , please . +Of course . Please wait a moment . I'll go and get it . +Thank you . +Hi , George . I'm going to have a job interview next week . Could you give me some advice ? +Sure . First of all , it ’ s very important for you not to be late . Job interviewers usually don ’ t think very highly of a candidate who arrives ten minutes after the appointed time , only to explain that he could not find the place or that there was heavy traffic . +Yeah , that's very important . +So you ’ d better explore the place the day before and at the same time , look around to see what the employees are wearing . So the next day you will arrive early for the appointment . +I ’ ll try my best to make a good impression on the interviewer . +That ’ s right . You need to create a good image in a limited time , usually about 30 to 45 minutes . +It ’ s always easier to say something than to do it . +It ’ s not too difficult to make a good impression . For example , you should take care to appear well-groomed and modestly dressed . Avoid the extremes of a too elaborate or too casual style . This will put you on the same level as other applicants and make the interviewer consider more important qualifications . +But I love wearing T-shirts and jeans . +I advise you not to wear a too casual style when going to an interview . Informal clothes as well as torn jeans and dirty shoes convey the impression that you are not serious about the job , or that you may be casual about your work as you are about your clothes . +It ’ s a pity that I cannot afford more expensive clothes . +You misunderstood me . Clothes which are too colorful or too expensive suggest that you do not understand what behavior is appropriate for the job , or that you are snobbish or frivolous . +I know what you mean . I ought to wear right clothes at the right time . +You got it . Only in this way can you gain the respect of the interviewer and his confidence in your judgement . +It seems that ' clothes make the man ' . +It may not be true , but the first and lasting impression of you is determined by your clothes and behavior . +The boss announces the pay raise today , right ? How much do you think we'll get ? +No idea . Your guess is as good as mine . +It better be more than last year . +Well , anything is better than nothing . Wait and see . +I'm sorry , our appointment has to be changed . +What a pity ! +If you don't mind , may we put it off to the next day ? +That's OK . +Good day ! Welcome to Lincoln Bank , how may we assist you ? +Hello . I need to find out if a Receipt of Proceeds has arrived . I'm from Felix Wasserman Associates . +Thanks . Have you got the L / C number ? +It's NX567822100007 . +Hang on a tick and I'll check for you . I'm sorry ; we have no record of that arriving . +OK , thanks for checking . Could you give me a ring when it arrives , please ? +No problem . I'll be in touch as soon as it comes in . +May I help you ? +Yes . I have to stay in your cry for just one day , can you suggest a short tour ? +Are you interested in the natural landscape or the human landscape ? +I would prefer the first one . +Sure . We have a one-day trip along the river . It's quite beautiful . +Hello , Sir . How can we help you today ? +I need to find out some more information for L / C . I would like an outline of responsibilities , both ours , yours and the beneficiary , please . +OK , to start , the conditions are specified by the buyer and may include Insurance Forms , Way Bills , Bills of Lading , Customs forms , various certificates . +OK , got it . Is there anything else I need to know before we go ahead ? +Just that in effect , a basic Letter of Credit is a financial contract between the bank , the bank's customer , and the beneficiary , and this contract involves the transfer of goods or services against funds . +That sounds fine , thanks for that . Let's go ahead ! +911 emergency . What is the problem ? +I would like to report a break-in . +When was this break-in ? +I believe it happened last night . +Where was the break-in ? +It happened at my house . +Was anything stolen ? +I haven't checked yet . +Why do you think there was a break-in ? +My front window was broken . +We'll send a squad car shortly . +I'd appreciate that . +Excuse me . How much is the chocolate bar ? +One dollar . +So , I can have five for five dollars ? +Actually , you can only have four . +Oh , yeah . I forgot tax . Give me four then , please . +Okay . Thanks . +House keeping.May I come in ? +Come in please . +Good evening , sir . I come to make the bed . Shall I do it now or later ? +Well , since you have come , do it now please ? +That's all . Have a nice stay here . +Thank you.Please get some soap for us . +Just a moment . I will do it right now . +Ms . Montgomery ? This is Richard Thomas . I ’ m sorry to bother you at home , but I ’ Ve got a bit of a problem . +Oh ? What ’ s wrong ? +My daughter ’ s just banged up her knee pretty badly and I ’ m going to have to take her to the hospital . I ’ ll be about two hours late . +Excuse me . I have an appointment with Mr . Li at nine . May I come in ? +Yes , come in please . I am Mr . Li . You must be My Liu , right ? +Yes , I am My Liu . Thanks . +I'd like to start this interview with some questions . Why do you think you are qualified for this position ? +According to your advertisement , you want an experienced software engineer . I think my background meets the requirement of this position . +Then tell me something about your background . +My major was computer science when I was at college , and I am quite familiar with Visual C + + and Java language . +Well , what do you think about the development in computers ? +The developments in software are going ahead very quickly and more and more problems are resolved by software . In some regions , the hardware is completely replaced by software . So I think the software industry has a great future . +Have you ever designed any programs concerning network ? +Yes , I have designed some programs for the network with Visual C + + and I have passed the test for programmers - MUSE . +Have you got anything to ask me ? +Yes , can you tell me what's my responsibility in this position ? +Yes , of course . You would be responsible for the development of software products . +I see . This is my advantage . +Good . Have you got any other questions ? +No . +Ok , I will contact you in a week . See you . +Thank you , bye-bye . +Tom , is Jenny crying ? +Can you take he away from me ? +I ’ m just coming for that . +She kept bothering me . +She ’ s your sister . What she asked was only duck soup for you . Why can ’ t you be good to her ? +But I am her brother , not her servant . +Hello , where can I buy an inexpensive cashmere sweater ? +Maybe you should look around for an outlet . +That is a wonderful idea . +Outlets have more reasonable prices . +Thank you for your help . +No problem . Good luck +Wow ! Your fruit looks really fresh ! How much are these apples ? +The apples are 30NT each . How many would you like ? +Let's see , 30NT is about ... almost a dollar US . What ? ! How about these pineapples ? +They're 250NT each , but they're not edible . They're only used for worship . +Hmm , 250NT is ... 8 dollars ? ! ! And you can't even eat them ? You're crazy ! +Wait ! Don't go just yet . These bananas are pretty cheap--only 35NT for this bunch . +Now that's more like it ! Bananas have lots of potassium , too ! +They're also good for your digestion ! Would you like some kiwis , too ? +Are they from Taiwan ? +They're imported from New Zealand . Four for 50NT . Nine for a hundred . +OK . I'll take four kiwis . +Amelia , could you spare a few minutes ? +sure . What do you need ? +well , I wanted to let you know that I've put in my notice . +really ? Why ? +it's complicated . But basically it boils down to one thing . This company is downsizing and I can't continue working for a company that may let me go . +but surely they won't fire you ! You're one of the most experienced managers here ! +well , to be honest , there's another reason . I've got a better offer . +well that's great news ! Congratulations ! Where will you be located ? +the head office is in New York , but I'll be dealing with overseas companies and flying to this side of the world from time to time . +it'll be sad to see you go , but it sounds like you're found yourself a great opportunity . +I have . I feel lucky . I look forward to dealing with overseas companies and at the same time having a chance to use English more . +I'm sorry to bring this up , but would it be possible for you to write me a letter of recommendation before you go ? +of course I can . In fact , if there are other job opportunities at this new company , I'll recommend you personally . +thanks . I appreciate that . +What can I show you ? +Do you have this shirt in a small ? +Let me check . Yes , we have . +May I try it on ? +Sure . Let me help you . +the James ’ s file , Christine ? +I had it right here a minute ago , Mr . Emory . Umm .

We can ’ t afford to lose an important document . +Yes , sir . I apologize for that . Here ’ s the file you were looking for , Mr .

Wow , look at her , she can certainly get down , can't she ? +She sure can . Are you jealous , Leslie ? +A little , I wish I could do that . +You can ! With a little practice . +Look at him , he's buff . +I think he's hot too . +How do they all get in such tiptop shape ? +Exercised over and over . Exercise is a key . +That's it .

It's over there . +Eat some more . +No , thanks . I'm on a diet . +Excuse me . Do you know where the Admiral Hotel is ? +That's over on Callaway Street , isn't it ? +Yes , but I can't find Callaway Street . +Walk that way for about four blocks .

Goodbye . +I'm looking for a string of pearls for my wife . +Yes , sir . What price range do you have in mind ? +I'm not sure . I don't know very much about the price of pearls . +I see . Let me show you some samples of various qualities . This one is very nice . It's three hundred and fifty dollars . +Is there a price reduction ? +We are having a sale now . The price has already gone down . +How much is that one ? +It's two hundred and eighty dollars . +OK . I'll take it . Thank you . +Can I help you ? +Yes , I would like to buy a Walkman . Can you tell me about the models you have ? +Well , we have a lot of models here.Did you want to listen to CD's or cassettes or the radio ? +Mostly cassette tapes . +Alright . There are several models you may want to look at.This Kreng portable cassette player is very good . +Kreng ? I've never heard of that company . +It's a German company.This unit has auto-reverse , recording capability , and an AM / FM radio band.It also has a built-in microphone . +I suppose I don't want that one then . I don't like auto-reverse . It breaks too easily . +Really ? Have you had an auto-reverse break before ? +Yes , twice now . I think it's too high-tech , and so it's the first part that breaks . +Hmm . You know , the problem might be dust . Did you clean the unit often ? +Well . No , I didn't clean it.But still , I only had the last one two months , and it broke . I don't trust auto-reverse . +Alright . Well . We have many units without auto-reverse.Here is a good unit . Very reliable.It has an AM / FM band , built-in microphone , recording capability , and no auto-reverse . +How much is it ? +This one sells for $ 39.99 . +Can I test it out ? +Of course . +It sounds great . I'll take it . +Fine . I think you'll be happy with it . It's a very good unit . Very reliable . I'll go get you a new one in a box . I will be back in just a moment . +Thanks . +Tell me about yourself . +I was born and raised in Beijing . I attended Peking University and received my bachelor's degree in Economics . I have worked for 2 years as a financial consultant in Beijing for China Pacific Insurance Co . Ltd . +What type of position are you looking for ? +I'm looking for a position in which I can utilize my experience . +Are you interested in a full-time or part-time position ? +I am more interested in a full-time position . However , I would also consider a part-time position . +Can you tell me about your responsibilities at your last job ? +I advised customers on financial matters . After I consulted the customer , I completed a customer inquiry form and catalogued the information in our database . I then collaborated with colleagues to prepare the best possible package for the client . The clients were then presented with a summarized report on their financial activities that I formulated on a quarterly basis . +What is your greatest strength ? +I am an excellent communicator . People trust me and come to me for advice . One afternoon , my colleague was involved with a troublesome customer who felt he was not being served well . I made the customer a cup of coffee and invited both my colleague and the client to my desk where we solved the problem together . +What is your greatest weakness ? +I tend to spend too much time making sure the customer is satisfied . However , I began setting time-limits for myself . +Why do you want to work for our company ? +After following your firm's progress for the last 3 years , I am convinced that your company is becoming one of the market leaders and I would like to be a part of that team . +When can you begin ? +Immediately . +Please tell me how to file things according to the concerned rules . +Well , all right . There are four points you should keep in mind when you file documents , information and other things . +What are they ? +They are keep the documents in chronological order , remove all the chips and pins , punch the documents evenly and place them in the folder . +And what is the most important point ? +You should always remember that one customer one file is the rule . +Yeah , look at all those new buildings going up ! Mr . Zhang , the traffic is pretty smooth . But we were told the roads from the airport to downtown were quite crowded and traffic jams could be as long as half an hour . +Yes , they were . But it has already past . The traffic from the airport to downtown has been relieved after the completion of Yan'an Aerial Road . +We've never expected that Shanghai is such a big metropolis , same as New York city . David , would it be a good idea to rent a car here ? I've got an international driver's license with a pretty good record in the States . +That's wonderful . OK . I'll remember that . But I have to warn you that you must drive very carefully in the downtown area , for there're no separate lanes for motor vehicles and bicycles in some places , and still quite a few people don't take road regulations seriously . +This house is not looking all that great from here +You can ’ t really tell everything about a house from the outside . Let ’ s go inside . +I don ’ t think that it is looking any better inside here . +I think that fresh paint and cleaning would help it look a little better . +It is just too dark in here with so few windows . +I hear that the kitchen is quite large . Let ’ s go check it out . +The kitchen may be large , but it doesn ’ t have any storage space . +The master suite is supposed to be quite elegant . Maybe it will be a little better . +How many dogs live in this house ? +I think that we have seen all that we need to see here . Let ’ s go look at another house . +Excuse me , waiter , I would like to have some wine before the main course . +Have you decided what wine you would like ? +I have no idea . Maybe you can give me some advice . +I recommend you the white wine . It will wake up your appetite . +That's great , bring me a bottle of that please . +Come on ! It's time to go ! +Wait a minute ! Just hold your horses ! What's your hurry , anyway ? +Well , I've got to stop and get gas in the car , first . +That won't take long . +Well , it won't if there no line at the pump . +Well , I'm not quite ready . +I'll give you five more minutes , then I'm going on without you ! +You wouldn't do a thing like that ! +Oh , yes , I would ! +I wonder if I can see your mother , little boy . Is she engaged ? +Engaged ? She ’ s married . +Johnny , I wish you ’ d stop reaching for things . Haven ’ t you a tongue ? +Yes , Mother , but my arm is longer . +Hello ! Tomorrow I'm going to need a wake-up call . +Not a problem . What time shall we call you ? +I always hit the snooze button , so give me two calls , one at 7 and another at 7 fifteen . +It'll be our pleasure . We'll call you at 7 and then at 7 fifteen . +Oops , cancel that . Change the second call to 7 thirty will you , please ? +No sooner said than done . Can I help you with anything else ? +No , that's about it for now . Thanks . +Okay , sir . Have a pleasant evening . +Have you seen our new packing specifications ? +Yes , I have , Mr . Thomas . We'll pack them two dozen to one carton , and the gross weight is around 25 kilos a carton . +I'm really in a flap about the interview . +Take it easy.you ' Ve made enough preparations . +I'm in such a need of the job that I can't afford any mistakes . +I'm sure you'll pass it . +Do you think my briefcase is big enough to put in all these stuff ? +Let me see . Laptop , flash disk , a ballpoint pen , a pencil , a notebook , a pair of glasses , cell phone , charger , moisture lotion , ... Oh , that is too much . You are not going to a business trip . +I guess I need all of them . +Actually , the company will provide you with all of these supplies . So , you can leave this very thick notebook at home . +I know . But it is my lucky charm . I carry it all the time . +Suit yourself . Don ’ t forget to set the alarm clock . +May I know where you are going ? +Yes . I want to go to Beijing Hotel . +I'm sorry . You are going in the wrong direction . +Oh no ! What shall I do ? +Don't worry . You can get off at the next stop and go across the street through the overpass . The bus stop is right there . +Thank you very much . +My pleasure . +Steven , shall we go shopping tomorrow ? +Hum ... Why not go shopping the day after tomorrow ? Tomorrow is Saturday . I hate all the hustle and bustle of Saturday shopping . +But Sunday is the same with Saturday . If you don ’ t mind , that's OK . +Hum.Maybe it will be better . The most important thing is that I can have a day to relax after a week's work . +I see . We will go the day after tomorrow . +By the way , what kind of stores do we need to go ? +I want to buy some clothes in clothing store . When we are going back , go to the butcher's shop and buy some chicken . +Let ’ s also go to the jewelry store to buy a crystal necklace . I want to buy one for you as your birthday present . +Thank you , darling . +Have you seen the tower in front of us . That's the famous Eiffel Tower . It was built in 1889 for the World's Fair . +How tall is this building ? +It stands 320m ( 1050ft ) high and held the record as the world's tallest structure until 1930 . +I have heard its name is connected with someone , is that right ? +Yes , the towel was named after its designer Gustave Eiffel . +Good afternoon ! Trans Pacific Airline . How can I help you ? +I ’ m calling to cancel my reservation for Trans Pacific Flight 8 on July 19 from Taipei to Minneapolis . Could you please make it for the same flight on August 2 instead of July 19 ? +What ’ s your name , please ? +My name is Judy Wang . +How do you spell your name , please ? +My first name is J-U-D-Y , and my last name is W-A-N-G . +Please note that this ticket has a penalty of $ 75 for any change or cancellation . +It ’ s OK . Where should I pay for the penalty ? +At the airport . OK , Miss . Wang , your Flight 8 on July 19 from Taipei to Minneapolis is canceled . Your new reservation is Trans Pacific Flight 8 from Taipei to Minneapolis at 9 thirty a . m . on August 2 . +That ’ s 1POJ7403 . +That ’ s correct . +Thank you ! +Is there anything else I can do for you ? +No , thanks . I ’ m all set . Good-bye . +Is this supply ? +Yeah . This is supply . What can I do for you ? +This is Rachel in Human Resources . I need two boxes of company letterhead , one box of ball-point pens , and a box of envelopes . +All right . No problem . What ’ s your extension ? +John , I ’ d like you to meet Charles Brown , our new manager at the airport . +Yes , certainly . How can I recognize him ? +He is short , well-built , and he ’ s got light blond hair . +Is there anything else ? +He has a mustache , if I remember correctly , and a light complexion . +How old is he ? +He is in his late thirties . +Well . I shouldn ’ t have any trouble recognizing him . What time does his flight arrive ? +At 2 thirty . +What can I get for you today ? +Could I get a hamburger , please ? +Would you like cheese on that ? +No , thank you . +Would you like a drink ? +Let me have a soda . +What kind of soda would you like ? +May I have a Sprite , please ? +Sure , no problem . +I would also like a bag of chips . +Will that be all ? +That's everything . +Please tell me something about your insurance background . +I majored in international banking at college so I took many insurance courses . And I worked at an insurance company for my graduation field work . +Why do you want to be an insurance agent ? +I care about people and I know the importance of insurance . +Do you have any work experience in promotion ? +Yes , I do . I have worked as a salesman for P & G Company Ltd . +Do people respond well to you ? +Yes , I'm good with people . +Ah , here we are . +This is the place I was telling you about . +Would you like to sit near the window ? +Good . +Let's have a look at the menu . Oh , there isn't a menu . Do you think you could ask the people at the next table if we could look at their menu ? +Yes , of course . Excuse me . Could you possibly let us see your menu ? Oh . They haven't got one either . +Are you going to buy a bicycle ? +I ’ m thinking about it . How much is it ? +¥ 350 . +Oh , dear . It ’ s too expensive . Can you give me a better price ? +Your discount is already included . Normally we charge ¥ 400 , but now we can give you a special price . This is our sale period . +It ’ s still too much . Can ’ t you make it any cheaper than that ? +Sorry , but this is the best price . You can ’ t get it any cheaper than here . +I see . Can I pay by traveler ’ s checks ? +I'm afraid you can ’ t . You ’ re welcome to pay in cash . +Do you have a free moment ? +Sure . What do you need ? +I'm having some trouble . How do you use this printer ? +Well , first you have to turn this switch on . +Silly me . +Now press this button . +Oh , and it's out of paper . Do you have any more ? +Just a second . I'll go get some . +I need help using the washer and dryer . +Tell me what the problem is . +I can't figure out how to turn them on . +Do you have some quarters ? +I didn't know I needed change . +The washer costs 50 cents and the dryer costs a dollar . +Where do I put the change ? +The quarters go into the slot . You have to push the slot in , and the machine will turn on . +Is that everything that I have to do ? +That's all there is . +I appreciate you helping me with this . +If you need anything else , just let me know . +Do you have any questions ? +Yes , do I have to work a whole year before I can take a vacation ? +Yes , after you ’ Ve been here a year , you qualify for a three-day vacation +Only three days ? +That's the company policy . +What happens if I use up my sick days before the end of the year ? If I ’ m sick an extra day or two , will my pay be deducted ? +Yes . That's the company policy . +It was the same as the last place I worked at . I was hoping you ’ d be different . +I am absolutely famished . +Yeah . I am too . +Where did you want to go for lunch ? +I was thinking we should just go to the cafeteria . +I don't think I ever got food from the cafeteria . +I actually like the food there . +Does the cafeteria sell a lot of different food ? +They have anything you want . +I was thinking about getting some Chinese food . +I bought some chow mein at the cafeteria . It tasted great . +We can eat at the cafeteria . +I think you'll really like the food there . +Here is the draft contract , Mr . Brown . Let's discuss the clauses to see if we agree on all of them . Then I will make out an original of the contract . After that , what's left is to fill out the contract and sign our names . +That's OK . +The contract is to be written in Chinese and English . Both languages are equally effective . +Fine . If you'll excuse me , I'd like to go it over first . ( After about 15 minutes ) Hmm , you've done a pretty good job . It's well prepared . +Thank you . +Well , I suggest that we discuss only the clauses and points where we have different opinions just to save time . +That's a good idea . +First , let's read Clause Two about packing . It's our usual practice to ship our products in containers . That'll save time and money , but your contract stipulates the use of wooden cases . So , we'd like to have the words containers are allowed in the contract . +Agreed . +For shipment , you know we are producing a complete set of equipment for you and it won't all be finished at one time . So would you allow us to make partial shipments . +I understand your position . +I want to buy a black suit . +Certainty.Do you want double breasted suit or single breasted suit ? +I prefer single breasted suit . +What about this one ? It's a very nice 3 - piece suit . +That looks great . Do you have ties here ? +How do you do ? Nice to meet you , Diane . +How do you do , Jack . Nice to meet you . +Well , I think you ' Ve reconsidered our proposal , Diane . +Yes , you are right . After all , the quality of your air conditioners is good . The only problem is price . +I should not be surprised , many customers have the same opinion . Do you have any suggestion in mind ? Our salesman told your secretary that the price could be negotiable . +That's why I came to your office today . We think for your model WE - 506 $ 590 would be reasonable , because air conditioners of the same kind sold by other companies are usually about 579-649 . +That's true . But if you understand that quality is the most important aspect of a product , you'll agree that 679 is not high , especially when we allow you a 10 % discount . +I see your point . That's to say s 611 each set . Still it's much higher than the market price . Could you see your way to reduce the price , Jack ? +Well , considering the quantity of your order we could further reduce the price to 600 . That's the best we can do . What do you think of that ? +All right . We accept it . So $ 600 for each set . +Very well . Thank you . +Don't I know you ? +I'm not sure.You look familiar . +You're Mr.Stevenson , right ? +Yes.And you're Mr.Jones , I remember . +That's all the general information of our company . I think you already have good knowledge about our company . +Yes , I have an overall understanding . +When we have the final results , we will call you . +Then when will I get a reply at the latest ? +If you pass the interview , the personnel department will inform you within two weeks . +But if I don't pass , will you call me ? +I'm sorry we won't . You can wait for two weeks . If you don't get a telephone call , it means that you weren't successful . +Then do I have the chance to get this job ? +I'm sorry but I can't make the final decision myself , and I have to discuss it with other interviewers . +I know . No matter what the result will be , I have learned a lot from our conversation . +Your mentality is very good and that's great . +Thanks for giving me the opportunity of this interview . +My pleasure . +I have a stomachache . +Well , you'd better lie down now . You need a good rest . +All right . I'll do that . +What kind of personality do you think you have ? +I'm quite active and energetic . I approach things enthusiastically and I don't like to leave things half-done . +Do you think you are introverted or extroverted ? +I'm quite outgoing i think . I enjoy mixing and doing things with others . +What do you think is the most important thing for you to be happy ? +I maintain that the most important thing is having good friends . A person can't live all by himself I think . A friend in need is a friend in deed.The more really close friends I have , the better . +What kind of people do you like to work with ? +People who are honest , dedicated to their work and having integrity . +I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Monica to our company and introduce her to her department and colleagues . For all of you , we hired Monica because she is a very professional accountant and we are very happy to have her in the finance department . She has lots of working experiences as an accountant and I am sure everybody in the department can benefit from this . +Hello , everybody . I am Monica and this is my first day at work . I am working in the finance department . I am very happy to meet everyone and I am looking forward to working well with all of you . I am very happy to be one of the team and I will do my best to get into the working situation as soon as possible . By the way , call me Monica . Everybody calls me so . +Were you in a leadership position when you were a college student ? +Yes . I was president of the Student Council of our university . +Did you get any honors or awards at your university ? +Yes . I was elected Excellent Party Member for four academic years . +Were you involved in any club activities at your university ? +Yes . I was a member of the Student Poetry Society . I like writing poems in my spare time . +What extracurricular activities did you usually take part in at your college ? +I sometimes played table tennis and sometimes played basketball . +Margaret , I'd like to follow up with the arrangements for our company retreat , to take place next month . We need to book the venue , make arrangements for speakers and door prizes , and set up all the activities and accommodations . Also , very important , we need to determine which of our staff will be eligible and will be available to go . We've got to get a head count in order to make reservations . +What's the criteria for staff to attend ? Are we only including our management team in this affair ? Or will we be extending invitations to lower level employees to attend ? +Lower level employees need not attend . The purpose of this retreat is for training , especially for our management team . We want to develop a well-oiled machine on our executive level . In order to get everyone to jell together , we've got to include some fun . That's the reason for the retreat . +I think Yoga might be suitable for me . +Why ? +Because it doesn't require a lot of energy and thus easy to keep up . +But I see people sweat a lot doing Yoga too . +I don't know . I just need to try it once . I'm in urgent need of some exercise to lose some weight . +You should try swimming then . It helps you to keep fit . +We are looking for a bilingual secretary . Do you think you are proficient in both written and spoken English ? +I think my English is fairly good . As you can see from my CV , I graduated from university with a B . A . degree in English . I studied the English language and English literature systematically . +How are your typing and shorthand skills ? +I can type 80 words a minute , basically no mistake , and can take dictation in English at 120 words per minute . +Are these the clothes you want to have washed ? +Yes . When can I get them back ? +Well , if they are collected right now , you can get them back tonight . +That's fine . By the way , please have that suit dry cleaned . +OK . Please fill in the form first . +What's the matter with me , Doctor ? I feel so tired these days . +Is your blood pressure , I'm afraid . It's far too high . +And what's the cause of that ? +Overwork-amongst other things . You can't work 24 hours a day . You ' Ve got to slow down . +But I can't just slow down . +You've got to , I'm afraid . And look at this . You weigh 200 stones . That's too much for a man of your size . +You mean I've got to lose weight ? +Yes . You've got to cut down on bread and potatoes and take more exercise . +You are an early bird , Tom . What do you do in the morning then ? +Exercise . The morning hours are the most precious period within a single day . We should not pass them up easily . Seize the time and do something useful . +So , you choose to spend it on bodybuilding . Where do you exercise ? +Usually , I run to the Black Bamboo Park as a warm-up . Admission is free . Then I start my activities . +Do you do the same exercises every day ? +No , I've deliberately kept a balance between various exercises ; parallel bars , push-ups , sit-ups , bunny-hops , five-kilometer run , and so on . I alternate them over the weekdays . Sometimes , when I find myself in a bad state , I will simply idle about in the park . +Why don't you just stay in bed when you are feeling unfit for exercising ? +It's not easy to keep a good habit , you know . I fear that if I fail to get up early one day , I may find it still more difficult to rise early the next . Besides , a mere walk in the early morning is much fun , too . Here and there in the park , you meet whole gangs of senior citizens who might be singing operas or old songs , playing er'hu , chess , or just chatting and gossiping . It's interesting to join them . +Oh , yes . Singing is also a good way of keeping fit , at least mentally . +I want some cosmetics.Could you recommend some ? +I think Pond's is the best . +And they're very dear , too . +They're on special offer today . +Oh , that's ideal . +Steven , I'm going abroad by plane for the first time tomorrow . Can you give me some advice ? And what should I pay attention to ? +First , you should have enough sleep to get over the jet lag before the departure . Most people will suffer from jet lag for a few days after a long flight . +I will go to bed early tonight . +Do you have an airsickness ? +I don't know . But I have a carsickness . +You'd better bring some medicine for airsickness . +Thank you . +Can we choose a time to look at houses together ? +Can you do that in the mornings , or would the afternoons be best ? +Either way is good for me . +There are a number of open houses this weekend in your area . Would that okay with you ? +I can take a little time off of work , or I can go on a weekend , also . +We could meet at the real estate office , or I could pick you up at your home . +I am leaving from work , so maybe I could just meet you at the first house that we will look at . +I can think of five houses that we should look at . It will take most of the day . +I would like to see as many as possible . +When I have confirmed the times with the owners , I will e-mail you our plans for the day . +Do you have a package tour to Hollywood ? +Yes , here is the table , which plans do you like best ? +The seven-days trip shall be fine . How much is this tour ? +$ 300 . +We will take the trip . Could you give us a pamphlet ? +Here you are . +What ’ s the problem ? Things are getting out of hand . You keep sticking your nose where it doesn ’ t belong . +What do you mean ? +Now , I am responsible for training new staff , but you keep overriding my authority by trying to pose your methods . I know you are a hotshot college graduate with something to prove . But I don ’ t like your way . +Mom , when you come home , please buy a coat , a skirt , a sweater ... +Enough is enough . I know . +Mr.Chen , do you mind if I smoke ? +I'm sorry , Mrs . Lin . We don't allow smoking in the office . +Good morning , can I help you ? +I want to American breakfast with fried eggs sunny side up . +What kind of juice do you prefer , sir ? +Breakfast juice and please make my coffee very strong . +Yes , sir . American breakfast with fried eggs sunny side up . Breakfast juice and black coffee . And my correct , sir ? +Yes , that ’ s right . +Is there anything else , sir ? +No , that ’ s all . +Good morning , sir . I ’ Ve got breakfast your ordered . +Just put it on the table please . +Do you need anything else , sir ? +No , thanks . Oh , yes , could I have some juice for the mini bar ? +What kind of juice do you like sir ? +Tomato or orange juice , please . +Yes , sir . I ’ ll get them for you right away .

I called before and he was there . +Yes . I'm sure . You have the wrong number . I have used this number for more than 20 years . +That can't be true . I remember the number clearly . Is your number 1199886 ? +No , it isn't . It's 1199866 . It seems that you have misdialed . +Oh , I'm sorry I bothered you . I'm really sorry . +It doesn't matter . It happens to everyone . +Sorry again for bothering you . +That's all right . +Good morning . Can I help you ? +Good morning .

I'm sorry I don't know how to pronounce that . +Oh , that means soup of the day . I'll ask the waiter what they have today . Have you tried mussels cooked the Italian way ? They're really delicious . +No . I'll try them . Sounds good . +I am calling to ask about the position of an usher . +Anything you would like to know ? +What qualities do you expect the applicants to have ? +We expect the usher girl to be good-looking , no less than 165 centimeters high , and love smiling . +Hello , ma ’ am , can I help you find something ? +Yes , actually I ’ m looking to buy a camera . +We ’ Ve got a wide selection do you know if you ’ d like a point-and-shoot , or something a little fancier ?

I ’ m sorry , ma ’ am . It looks like we ’ re sold out . +No you ’ re not ! There are some right here ! +Oh , well , would you look at that ! Polarizing filters . +Thanks for your help , Ralph ! +No problem , ma ’ am . +May I help you , ma'ma ? +Please , where do I catch the plane for New York ? +First you must check in at Counter No . 4 . +That one there ? +That's right . Then you will follow the signs to Gate 85 . +Thank you . You ' Ve been very helpful . +Mr . Crandall , I ’ m sorry , but I really don ’ t see the value in doing this entire project over from scratch . It would take a lot of work . +That ’ s certainly true . But , that ’ s what this job is all about , Maria . There's no doubt that this project is unacceptable . +I agree . But I think that we can handle the problem by making a few major changes . I ’ d appreciate it if you would give me a chance . +All right , Maria . I ’ ll give you until tomorrow at 4:00 to produce a satisfactory piece of work , but otherwise , you ’ ll have to re-do it . +I think it's time for me to meet my admirer and make him face the music . +You do ? How are you going to contact him ? +I'm leaving him a message taped to my computer screen . +What does it say ? Do you think he'll see it ? +He'll see it . It says , I like sweets .

We started organizing everything early to avoid a last minute rush to get things done . The only thing that isn ’ t ready yet is my wedding dress . +When will that be ready ? +The dressmakers said that is would be ready in two weeks . +You ’ re getting married in three weeks . So that should be ok . So , you ’ Ve prepared the church , catering , transport , hotel-everything . +Yes . We ’ Ve taken care of all of that . We decided not to get married in a church though . Neither of us is very religious . +Which hotel will the reception be held at ? +The palace hotel they ’ re taking care of the catering , including the wedding cake . I ’ m sure they ’ ll do a good job . +Oh , yes . It ’ s and excellent hotel . A friend of mine had her wedding reception there and said it was perfect , though very expensive . +Yes . It will be expensive , but we think it will be worth it . It gives us great peace of mind to know that our reception is in the hands of experienced people . +I think you make the right decision . +Have you any round-neck sweater ? +Yes . Actually our range of sweaters is the most comprehensive available . +Can I try this one on ? +Sure , go ahead . +The color is too bright.For my age , I would prefer a lighter color . +So Dick , how about getting some coffee for tonight ? +Coffee ? I don ’ t honestly like that kind of stuff . +Come on , you can at least try a little , besides your cigarette . +What ’ s wrong with that ? Cigarette is the thing I go crazy for . +Not for me , Dick . +You guys are charging me $ 10 for a movie that I never ordered or saw . +Let's see , sir . According to your file , you watched ' Titanic ' Monday evening . +Well , the wrong information is in my file . I was at a concert Monday night . +Well , your word overrules the file , sir . One moment , please . +I knew you'd see it my way . +Sir , I deleted the $ 10 , but I had to add a $ 2 service charge to your bill . +Am I in the Twilight Zone ? You're charging me for a movie I never saw ? +Please don't blame me , sir . Blame the computer programmer . +This is highway robbery . I've got a good mind to call the police ! +If it makes you feel any better , other guests feel the same way . +Mr . Carter has asked me to come over to invite you to the banquet held in your honor at the Shangri-La Hotel at 7:00 this evening . Here's an invitation for you . +How nice of him . I'll be delighted to go . But what time would be convenient ? +If you could be ready by , say 6:30 o'clock , I'll be at the hotel to pick you up . +That's great . It's most thoughtful of you to do this , Miss Rose . +It's my pleasure . Well , then . I'll say goodbye . +Goodbye and see you tonight . Miss Rose . +I'd like to speak Dr.Johnson . +Sorry , but he's not in . May I take a message for you ? +This is Robert Jordan.Would you ask him to call me back , please ? +OK , I'll tell him . +Good morning , sir . May I see your passport ? +Yes , of course . Here it is . +Thank you . Are all these yours ? +No , some of them are my friend's . Do you want her passport , too ? +Yes , please .

You may lock up your suitcase . Here are your passports . +Thanks a lot . +Hello . I bought a China dress in your shop this morning . +Yes ? +I bought it one size up by mistake . +Oh , did you ? +I wonder if you can change it to one size down . +Yes , of course.Will you come with the receipt ? +Then I'll come to your place later in the evening , and how late is your shop open ? +Until 8 o'clock , ma'am . We are looking forward to seeing you . +The boss announces the pay raise today , right ? How much do you think we'll get ? +No idea . Your guess is as good as mine . +It better be more than last year . +Well , anything is better than nothing . Wait and see . +I'm going to go shopping for groceries in a little bit . +Why , do we need groceries ? +I believe we are all out of food . +Do you know what to get ? +I don't know what we need . +Why don't you go and check the refrigerator ? +I would appreciate it if you would do that for me . +Why don't you just get the basics ? +What do you mean ? +Eggs , milk , bread . Things like that . +Go make that list . +Sure , no problem . +Hello , take a seat please . Let's get straight to the point . This is our contract . Please read it carefully before signing . +Since we have reached an agreement on all terms , there shouldn't be any problems for the contract . +May we once more remind you that the contract should be canceled by one month notice . +Yes , I got it . Thanks . +Excuse me , is this the baggage claim area from KL17 ? +Yes , can I help you ? +Well , this is my baggage claim tag . Can you get my baggage now ? +OK , here you are . +Thanks a lot . +Were you able to attend Friday night's basketball game ? +I was unable to make it . +You should have been there . It was intense . +Is that right . Who ended up winning ? +Our team was victorious . +I wish I was free that night . I'm kind of mad that I didn't go . +It was a great game . +What was the score at the end of the game ? +Our team won 101-98 . +Sounds like it was a close game . +That's the reason it was such a great game . +The next game , I will definitely be there . +Have you ever tried shopping online ? +No , never . I prefer to actually see and touch what I'm buying before I pay for it , especially for clothes and shoes . +That's right . Seeing is believing . +I've heard some friends say when they get the article , it's quite different from what they see on the website advertisement . +That happens . Without close quality examination , we may encounter fraud , and the e-shop may suddenly disappear . +What's more , it's not always so safe for us to pay online as hackers might steal the user name and password . +It's said that some measures have been taken to deal with this problem . Paying online is much safer than before , but I still have the feeling that it's not safe enough . +I can't agree more . that's why I only do street shopping . +Me too . Sometimes I surf online shops to check some related information , and then go to a physical store to do the actual shopping . +That's a good idea . +How long does it take to get to downtown from here ? +It is 15 minutes ’ drive . +What companies do we have in our neighborhood ? +Mitsubishi , HP , IBM and many other famous corporations . +Does the 7th floor belong to our company too ? +Yes , our company has two floors , the 6th and 7th floor in this building . +It ’ s such a large firm . Do we have our own staff restaurant ? +Yes , at the end of the hall . +Good morning , sir . May I help you ? +Good morning , I have an appointment with Mr . Johnson at 10:00 +Excuse me , sir , but are you Mr . Richard of World Trading Company ? +Yes . That ’ s right . +I ’ m sorry , Mr . Richard . Mr . Johnson is on his way to the office . He had just called and asked you to wait a minute . +Well , I ’ ll wait . +Would you like something to drink , sir ? Do you prefer coffee or tea ? +Thank you . Coffee , please . +Here you are , Mr . Richard . This is the cream and this is the sugar . If there ’ s anything else you ’ d like , please don ’ t hesitate to tell me . +Thank you very much . +911 . How may I help you ? +I need to report a break-in . +When did this break-in occur ? +Last night . +Where did the break-in happen ? +It happened at my house . +Was anything taken ? +I'm not sure yet . +What makes you think there was a break-in ? +My front window was busted . +I'll send a squad car . +Please hurry . +Good morning , everyone . Let me introduce myself to you ... +You don't need to introduce yourself , Yang . You're famous . +Well , thank you very much but I thought l'd try and chair the meeting by the rule — at least for a while . +OK , OK ! +Now , I'd like to get things under way . The main topic on today's agenda is the development of a U . S . sales strategy for the new EBB . I'd like to hear all of your ideas , Mr . Wall , you seem in top form today . Could you start the ball rolling ? +Uh , oh , sure . Well , I think we should keep in mind that the key to good sales is advertising . +Well , that's kind of obvious . +Give me a break , Mr Yang . +Uh , let's keep this going , shall we ? +I'm sorry , but I don't think this damage is our fault . +What do you mean ? +It looks like the shipping company did this . +We'd better take it up with them , in that case . +I ’ m glad you could find time to meet with me , Mr . Johnson . I can ’ t think of a nicer environment for our meeting today , the ambiance here is lovely ! +No problem , if possible I always combine business with pleasure . Now , let ’ s hear more about these chocolates you ’ re offering . +Well , as you know , I have recently become the sole distributor for Grangers Gourmet Bon-bons here in the United States . They ’ re a new manufacturer and are looking to break into the luxury market . Naturally , your restaurant sprang into my mind immediately . I think your brand exemplifies many of the same traits as Grangers and serving these chocolates would really add to your reputation for providing elegant , luxurious , first class dining . +Mmmm , sounds interesting ... gourmet chocolates , where are they produced ? Belgium ? +Actually , the factory is located in Scotland . +Really ? I didn ’ t think they were known for their luxury chocolate production +That ’ s what makes this such a fantastic opportunity ! The government is one hundred percent supportive of creating new export markets and has guaranteed a low tariff for all wholesale orders of over one thousand units . They ’ Ve also reduced the red tape involved at customs as well . Here , I brought these especially for you , try one ! +Oh , thanks . Mmm , hmm , creamy texture , very smooth ... +Unique , aren ’ t they ? I bet you ’ Ve never tasted anything like it ! Quality is assured as I personally visit the factory to make sure no one ’ s cutting corners with the ingredients . Only the creme make it through inspection . +Yes , very interesting flavors ... Slightly spicy , very unique , that ’ s for sure . Exactly what ARE the ingredients ? +I have it on highest authority that this traditional secret recipe has been handed down in the Granger family for generations . I ’ m sure you can keep a secret . Buttermilk , cacao beans , sugar and Haggis . +Haggis ? What ’ s Haggis ? +It ’ s a traditional Scottish delicacy , you take sheep ’ s liver , heart and lung and stuff it inside of the sheep ’ s stomach . +Ah , get back to you . +Mr . Johnson ? Mr . Johnson ? +Do you need a guide ? +Yes , we are just looking for one . What's the charge per day ? +It's $ 20 . If you are staying for more than 3 days in the city , the charge is $ 16 per day . +That's reasonable . +Aren't you Jim Green ? +Yes , that's right . +I believe we met at a concert last year . I'm Taylor . +Oh , yes . I remember . +Lucy , I ’ d like to fix the light in the corridor , it keeps flashing , which drives me crazy . Would you like to help me with the ladder ? +Monica , wait a moment . I think we ’ d better call the repair man to do it . +I think I can handle it by myself . +I ’ d like you to have a look at the safety manual of our company . +I see . If I got hurt when fixing the light , even during office hours , I wouldn ’ t get compensation from our company since repairing is not my responsibility . +Other company rules also need your attention . +Like this one ? Never wear loose clothes or hair when operating the shredder.Yeah , thank you for telling me . +Don ’ t mention it . +Thank God ! I am finished writing that service guide ! It took me forever ! +When did you finish ? +This morning ! No more overtime , and no more headaches ! +Well , I ’ m glad to hear it . Have a cup of coffee ! +I didn ’ t receive an unemployment check this week and need to know why . +Did you mail us your last Continued Claim Form ? +I am afraid that I forgot to send it in . +We cannot pay you unless you turn that form in every two weeks . +Is it too late to mail the Continued Claim Form in now ? +It can ’ t be more than fourteen days late for us to accept it . +I will mail it in a little early next time to avoid this problem . +You can ’ t possibly know in advance how much you will be working . If you mail it in too soon , we will reject it ! +Will my paycheck arrive late because I messed up on my form ? +Your check will be arriving late , but the next one will come right on time . +I should tell you that I'm checking out in about 30 minutes . +I'm ready when you are , sir . +Very good ! Now , it's still morning here in New York . +You are so right , sir . The clock just struck nine . +I'm going to spend some time exploring the city . What can I do with my luggage ? +Sir , right here we have a storage site . Its only $ 5 an hour , but you need to leave a deposit . +A deposit ? Isn't my luggage a deposit ? +I'm sorry , sir , but it isn't . Your MasterCard or VISA will take care of things nicely . +Okay . Let me think about this . +Okay , sir . But don't take too long . You only have 30 minutes . +May I take your order ? +Yes . I'd like a cup of onion soup . +And what would you like after that ? +I'd like the roast chicken , please . +It's the latest and quite popular among young people . +Yes , I know and I like it very much . I will take it . +Sure . Here is your receipt . +How long is this cell phone guaranteed ? +You can refund it in 7 days and exchange it in one year . +Hey honey , how was your day ? +It was alright . I ran into Bill and we got to talking for a while . He ’ s in a bit of a jam . +Why ? What happened ? +Well , his son had an accident and Bill doesn ’ t have health insurance . This really got me thinking , and I wondered if we shouldn ’ t look into a couple of different HMO ’ s . +Yeah , you ’ re right . We aren ’ t getting any younger and our kids are getting older . +Exactly ! I searched on the web and found a couple of HMO ’ s with low co-pays and good coverage . The deductibles are low , too . +Sounds good , although , do you think we can qualify for insurance ? Those insurance companies are real pirates when it comes to money . +Well , we don ’ t have any pre-existing illnesses or conditions , so we should be fine . +I wish our company or country provided us with healthcare . +Not in a million years ! +Hello . Can you tell me what the procedures of applying for a job are ? +Yes , of course . There are many steps . You can apply for the job on the Internet and then send your resume to the e-mail address of the company . And wail the feedback of the company . +What is the qualification needed by the position ? +You must have over 2 years'experience first . +What did you do today ? +Played poker with my work friends . +Did you win ? +Of course . +I'd like to withdraw some money from my account . +Can I see your passbook and the withdrawal slip , please ? +Sure . +Let me just make sure . You want to withdraw one thousand dollars ? +That's right . +Can I have a look at that digital camera please ? +Yes of course . This is a really good one actually . +How much does it cost ? +This one is 1500 yuan . +It looks pretty good . I think I'll take it . +Would you like anything else ? +That's all thank you . +I need something to wash this down . Is there any juice in the fridge ? +What is that ? It looks like something from a swamp ! +It's a green drink . It's supposed to be full of vitamins and minerals . +You know , healthy eating doesn't have to make you gag . +The sales lady said that even if I eat right , I wouldn't get enough vitamins . +Have you ever tried it ? Or are you just going to believe the sales lady ? +It's easier to drink this once a day than eat fruit and vegetables all day . +It may take less time , but I don't know about easier . Yuck . +Billy , you are late again . +I'm sorry I'm late . I overslept . Is the manager here today ? +Yes he ' s in his office . +Oh , I hope he didn't notice me . +Don't take any chances .

You liked his film , The Departed , didn't you ? +yes , it was fantastic ! Can I read the article when you're finished ? +sure . You know it has an online edition , too . You should go online to read if you want to read it now . +that's ok . I'll wait until you're finished . Just out of curiosity , do you have a subscription for that magadize ? +no . I don't buy it regularly enough for it to be worthwhile . +how much does the magadize cost ? +it's almost three pounds now , and I think they're going to put the price up to four pounds soon . +that's quite expensive . Who is their target audience ? +Cosmo mainly has a middle-class readership , but I think circulation will fall dramatically if the price goes up anymore . +I bet you'll still buy it , though . You wouldn't be able to live without your fashion magazine ! +Wei ! This is a first-you didn't bargain ! +Bargain ? I'd feel way too guilty . +But you could have saved money . +From a sweet ma ? !

I ’ Ve come to talk with you about ordering the eight megapixel cameras for our new methone . The demand for phone cameras is growing , and Pear has been falling behind in the market . +That ’ s great ! I ’ m glad to hear that Pear has finally jumped on the bandwagon . Right now our contract is for the five megapixel cameras . Is Pear still interested in having those ? +No , we ’ re changing all the cameras to eight megapixels .

I ’ m scared stiff about going into the city center at night . +there must have been some good news in the newspaper . I can ’ t believe that none of the news stories make you happy or excited . +well , there was one good piece of news . You remember the local girl who was dying of a rare blood disease ? +yes . Her parents were raising money to have her treated in the united states . +well , they ’ Ve got the money and she ’ s going tomorrow for treatment . +I ’ m so happy for the family ! They must be very relieved and excited about that . +I ’ m sure they are . Oh , and a local man won the lottery . I ’ m so jealous ! I wish it were me ! I buy a lottery ticket every week and I ’ m amazed that I haven ’ t even won a small prize yet . It ’ s so unfair ! +don ’ t be moody !

Wait a minute . +It's especially cold when the wind is blowing . +Why don't you wear a scarf ? +What can wearing one do for me ? +You're cold because the wind is blowing into your open collar . It's not because your jacket isn't thick enough . +So wearing a scarf helps your body to stay warm inside your jacket . +Yes . That's the secret to wearing a thin jacket . +You know , sometimes I can't feel my ears and fingers . +I'll lend you my gloves and earmuffs until you get your own . +Thanks , Pam .

Irene , can you tell me why you plan to quit being a sales manager to work here as my assistant ?

Let's go and have a close look at your outfit . +I have just received your note which informs me that you have offered the accountant position to another candidate .

I ’ d really hate to have to take it down . +But Christmas was two weeks ago ! It ’ s been there only because we ’ Ve been too busy to get rid of it . +I know , but it seems like such a shame to have to take it away . +But it ’ s falling apart , and the cat keeps playing with the lower branches . +I know , I know .

They all seems ot be the same group of people to me ... +No , there's a definite difference . You know , the stockholders are the people who own the company ... they're the financial control system . Then there's the CEO — the chief executive officer . He's the hot shot , the main guy who is the boss . If there is only one person with absolute power in the organization , everyone knows that the power will go to their head . It's too dangerous . That's the reason for a Board of Directors . The board is made up of people who are experts in the industry . They could be related to the organization , but more commonly , they are independent and non-biased . +How many people are on the board of directors ? +Usually not more than 15 , not less than 10 . They meet monthly , quarterly , or biannually to oversee an organization or company . They provide long term planing and vision , and also act as moral watchdogs rto keep the company in line . +How much will my pay be , if you don ’ t mind my asking ? +We would like to start you off at 1,500 yuan a month , not including bonus and overtime pay . We don ’ t give bonus every month , but we offer a semi-annual bonus . And you will receive two weeks paid vacation a year , as well . Does it suit you ? +Yes , thank you . May I ask for an apartment ? +No problem . We'll supply you with an apartment of two bedrooms and a living room . +Mum , can I finish my homework later ? +Sorry . You know the rules . +But I want to watch TV now . +That ’ s out of the question . +Please . +Not a chance . +Not even for an hour ? +Sorry , it ’ s impossible . +Where ’ s Sally , Jack ? +She ’ s in the garden , Jane . +What ’ s she doing ? +She ’ s sitting under the tree . +Is Tim in the garden , too ? +Yes , he is . He ’ s climbing the tree . +I beg your pardon ? Who ’ s climbing the tree . +Tim is . +What about the dog ? +The dog ’ s in the garden , too . It ’ s running across the grass . It ’ s running after a cat . +What's wrong with you ? +I have a sore throat and headache . +Do you feel tired ? +Yes , my whole body feels weak . And I really feel terrible . +I'm sorry to hear that . I'll have to examine you . +Ok , go ahead . +Open your mouth and show me your tongue . Say ah ... You have a bad cold . So you must stay in bed for a week . +Leo ! I wanted to tell you thanks for all your hard work on the budget . We ’ re having a get-together after work tonight at Carl ’ s Karaoke Club to celebrate having finished it . We ’ d love to see +What fun ! Normally I ’ d love to , but I ’ m afraid I have to work late tonight . We ’ Ve got to get the contract ready for Miss King . +Oh , right . You ’ re busy with that contract . Maybe you could join us later ? +Unfortunately , I just can ’ t make it this time . I have to go straight home . It ’ s my second wedding anniversary , and we ’ re supposed to be having a big dinner Susan would kill me if I missed it . +Happy anniversary ! Sorry you won ’ t be there . Maybe some other time ? +Yeah , maybe . Thanks , anyway . Hope you guys have a great time ! +Excuse me . Do you mind if I try this on ? +Not at all . The changing rooms are just this way . +Thanks . It's a little tight . Do you have any in a larger size ? +Sure . I'll give you the next size up . That one is small , right ? +Yes . Also , I'm not so sure about the color . +Well.It doesn't go with your skirt . I think the color itself is fine though . +Are you going to vote ? +Of course ! Are you ? +I plan to , but what day is the election ? +You should know that . +Can you just tell me ? +The election is this Tuesday . +Are you serious ? +I ’ m not kidding . +It ’ s a good thing I asked you . +That should ’ Ve been something you knew already . +I couldn ’ t remember . +Whatever . Just make sure you go vote . +Dave , there's something I want to talk to you about . +Zina , why are you whispering ? +I've been talking to WebTracker . I'm thinking of jumping ship . +What ? Are you serious ? You'd defect to our archrival ! ? +Keep your voice down . We'll talk more later . Right now I need to see Vince . +We definitely have to talk , Zina . And watch your back . Elvin is still mad about his nose . +OK , but don't tell anyone what I said . +You get your bus pass ? +I'm not going to buy one . +You're not ? +I think it's a waste of money . +It actually costs less if you have a bus pass . +How is that ? +You can use it however many times you need to . +Is that right ? +Yup , and you can keep the money in your pocket . +That sounds nice . +You should go get yours . +Yeah , I think I will . +Good morning . Craftsman Company . Can I help you ? +Yes , good morning . This is Mr . Suzuki from Video TV . May I speak to Mr . Johnson ? +I'm sorry , but Mr . Johnson is out at the moment . Can I take a message ? +Uh , yes , okay . Tell him John Suzuki called . That's S-U-Z-U-K-I . +Yes . +From Video TV . +Yes , Video TV . +Tell him I telephoned . I'd like to see him about the videotapes . Can he call me this afternoon ? +Yes , Of course . What's your telephone number ? +It's , area code 413 , 447-9626 . +That is 413-447-9662 ? +No , that's 447-9626 . +Oh , I'm sorry , 447-9626 . +Yes , that's right . Extension 162 . +Extension 162 . Okay , Mr . Suzuki . I'll give him the message . +Thank you . Good-bye . +Good-bye . +It's quit a big cafeteria , isn't it ? +Sure . I usually have my lunch here . The food is tasty and they offer a big variety . +Let's line up . The steak is very inviting . I'll have it . +I'll have ham and egg with French fries . What dessert do you want ? +Banana pie . +Where shall we sit ? +How about there ? +Do you like cooking ? +I love it . I really enjoy creating a meal from various ingredients and watching my friends enjoy it.It gives me a real sense of satisfaction.Do you enjoy cooking ? +I don ’ t like it.It takes up too much time and I really hate having it clean up after the meal . I can ’ t stand doing the washing up , drying up and putting all the dishes and cutlery away . +You can ask the guests for help . My guests usually insist on doing the washing up . I just have to remind them where everything goes . +So what kinds of dishes do you usually make ? I know you like Italian food . +Italian , Indian and chinese . I ’ Ve only recently started cooking chinese meals and I need some more practice . +Do you find it hard to get ingredients for Chinese food ? +Not at all.You can find most of them in supermarkets.The ingredients are usually the same as in Western food.The way that the food is prepared is the big difference , not the ingredients . +How long does it take you to cook a meal for 5 or 6 people ? +Obviously , it depends on what I ’ m cooking.But I ’ d say it generally takes about one and a half hours . +I'm searching for an old music box . +You came to the right place . Any particular decade ? +If you had a box made in the ' 20s , that would be nice . +We just got one in yesterday , so now we have six . +Would any of them have dancing figures ? +Yes , we still have two boxes left that have dancing figures . +Oh , they're both so beautiful . Let me have this one , I think . +That one truly is a beautiful piece of work , isn't it ? +One last question +Oh , no . Everything we sell here is " as is . " +I guess I was asking for too much . +If it breaks down , maybe you can find a repairman on the Internet . +We have been over this a hundred times ! We are not getting a pet ! +Why not ? Come on ! Just a cute little puppy . or a kitty ! +Who is going to look after a dog or a cat ? +I will ! I ’ ll feed it , bathe it and walk it every day ! We can get a Labrador or a German Shepard ! +What if we want to take a vacation ? Who will we leave it with ? Plus , our apartment is too small for that breed of dog . +Ok . How about we get a cat or a ferret ? +We ’ re planning on having children soon , I don ’ t think those animals are a good idea with a baby in the house . +Fine ! Let ’ s get a bird then ! We can keep it in its cage and teach it to talk ! A parrot would be awesome ! +I ’ ll tell you what , I can get you some hamsters and we ’ ll take it from there . +Yay ! +Over here is our gym . We have all the latest equipment . +But I haven't used exercising equipment before . Can you tell us some more details ? +Certainly . We have here the race apparatus , stationary bike , muscle builder set , chest expander , bar bell , dumb bell and so on . +Working in the gym is a very good way for losing weight . What else do you have ? +Here's the swimming pool . It's open from 10 a . m . to 11 p . m . There are also massage rooms here . +That's wonderful ! I like swimming . +John , I was looking through some magazines for ideas about where we might go on vacation this year . +I've already told my buddy , Mark , that I am going hunting with him in Alaska . +You can't be serious ! +Hey , I've always gone hunting or fishing on vacation . I am sorry that bothers you . +After a year together , I thought it pretty safe to assume that we would automatically spend our vacation together . +Says who ? I don't think that is necessarily the case . +You know , now that I think about it , I really don't have much more to say to you at all ! +Whatever you say ! +Have you declared your income and are you prepared to pay tax ? +Not yet . I don't know how to fill out the form . What is the tax-free allowance for supporting a dependent ? +I don't really know . Why not ask the accountant or the lawyer of the law firm ? They will tell you which is subject or not subject to taxation . He can even help you avoid paying tax legally . +If I don't pay my taxes , would the tax officials discover it ? +Certainly . No one who evades tax can escape from their detection.They ' ll check your income through computers . You'd better make a declaration to the tax authorities as soon as possible . If you fail to meet the deadline , you will be fined . +What's up ? You sound a little down in dumps . +I quarreled with my roommate last night . He is really stubborn . +Calm down ! Shouting won ’ t help ? +He is really outrageous . +What happened ? +I went back home last night . You know tired as a dog , so I took a quick shower and went to bed . I couldn't fall asleep , because Brian was there in the living room , playing his stupid stereo so loud . I kindly told him to turn that down a little bit . He shouted at me . +What ? He can't do this to you . +Well , he did it anyway . Then he came into my room and shot all his shit blah blah blah ... you know . +What did you do ? +I shouted it back of course . +Hold it , Mike . You won't accomplish anything by hollering at him , right ? You worked it all up till now . Why not wait until you cool down a bit ? +What would you do if you were in my shoes ? +Just stay cool . You know . When you get back home tonight , tell him that you didn't mean to quarrel with him . +No way , Kate . I mean it's just not my fault . +I know . It wouldn't hurt much to say sorry first . And after that , you can casually mention the problem . I am sure he will cooperate . +I am too angry to do that . +Excuse me . I am looking for a book called Little Women , but I can't find it anywhere . +Let me see . I am sorry we just have sold it out . +Will you have it later ? +I think so . Could I have you name , telephone number ? If we get one , I will call you . +That's terrific . Thank you . +Who do you think is the greatest novelist in the history of English literature ? +Charles Dickens.Actually no one can parallel him in writing . +I'm afraid I can't agree with you on that . I like D.H.Laurence ' s novels better . +What game do you like ? +I like board games . I like chinese chess and draughts . +I ’ Ve never played Chinese chess before , but I ’ Ve seen old men playing it in the street . It looks complicated . +It ’ s about as complicated as chess . The basic rule and moves are simple enough , but there are many strategies that players need to learn . +I like playing cards . I ’ m pretty good at poker . Do you play cards ? +I ’ m terrible at cards and so I never play games which involve gambling , like poker . If I did , I ’ d lose all my money . +Do you play bridge ? +Yes , I do . It ’ s hard to find four players though , so I don ’ t play very often . Do you know anyone who plays ? If so , we could set up a game . +I can play quite well . I have a friend who likes playing , but she ’ s not very good at it . Shall I invite her to play ? +Sure , I have a friend who play fairly well . We should find out when our friends are free and arrange a game . +I ’ ll call my friend now . you call yours . +Can you give me more details on what is included in the package ? +Sure .

In the afternoon you go on the famous boat cruise under the falls . +Hello , 332440 . +Oh hello , Sally . This is Dave Thomson here . Could I speak to Jim please ? +I'm afraid he's not in at the moment Dave . He went out about an hour ago and he's not back yet . +Any idea when he might be back ? +Well , he shouldn't be long . He said he was just going to get some paint . But I wouldn't be surprised if he's stopped off at the pub on the way back . +OK . well , tell him I've called , will you , and I'll try again later . +All right . Goodbye , Dave . +Thanks then Sally . Goodbye . +Honey , the house is such a mess ! I need you to help me tidy up a bit . My boss and her husband are coming over for dinner and the house needs to be spotless ! +I ’ m in the middle of something right now . I ’ ll be there in a second . +This can ’ t wait ! I need your help now ! +Alright , alright . I ’ m coming . +Ok , here ’ s a list of chores we need to get done . I'll do the dishes and get all the groceries for tonight . You can sweep and mop the floors .

Wow , the house looks really good ! +Great ! Can you set the table ? +Just a sec I ’ m just gonna vacuum this rug real fast +Wait ! Don ’ t turn it on ... +Good afternoon , welcome to IBA . How can I be of service ? +I'd like to talk to somebody about the Group Account Deposit Service . +This refers to the deposit business offered to the level 1 account of group companies . +What is it used for ? I mean , why bother to get this special account ? +Group companies can use this to make their arrangement of funds flexible , when dealing with their subsidiaries . +I see , so this can really cut down on time and centralise management . Interesting ... +Is this a duty-free shop ? +Yes , sir . What can I do for you ? +I want to buy some specialties . Can you recommend me some ? +Sure . I strongly advise you to buy a bottle of perfume and a lighter . +Fine . They look nice . I will take both of them . +May I have a look at your passport , please ? +Good morning , sir .

But I have a proposal now . +What's the proposal ? +Both of our two parties were involved in the discussion previously . Shall we also allow some of our clients to join us ? +Good idea ! In this way , our clients ' needs will be met and disagreements between the two parties avoided . +Sounds like we have the same idea . +Could you please tell me how I can go job-hunting in the web ? +Generally speaking , job seekers can enter the websites either of job agencies or of some units for job advertisements . +How should I contact them ? +You can e-mail your application materials for application to the websites of job agencies for enrollment in their database . +Can I get a quick reply from the sites ? +Yes , usually it takes a short time , but you have to await the choice of the units for a while . +Can you direct me to Holiday inn ? +Cross the street and walk two blocks west.You can't miss it . +Thanks . +I would like to buy a bottle of cleansing milk.Can you recommend me some kinds ? +Sure .

And when is the latest time for me to board the plane ? +15mins before the plane takes off . The plane is scheduled to leave on time . +Thank you very much ! +You are welcome ! Have a nice flight . +Tell me about yourself and your past experience . +I have worked as an executive secretary for 5 years , first for trading companies , and now I am working for a trust company . I interact well with peers , clients , administrators and bosses . I thrive on challenge and work well in high-stress environments . +How are your typing and shorthand skills ? +I can type 100 Chinese words a minute and take dictation in English at 150 words a minute . +Can you operate computers skillfully ? +Yes , I can . I have received some special training in computers . Besides I am good at operating common office machines , such as fax machines and duplicating machines . +Sometimes we are very busy and need to work overtime . How do you feel about that ? +That's all right . But could you tell me how often and how many hours I should work overtime ? +It just depends . If we have important visiting delegations , you have to stay with us . It's not unusual . +Mr . Smith , I's like to ask you a question . +OK , please . +What specific duties would I perform if I am hired ? +Nothing different from a secretary's common responsibilities . However , you know , our company is an international trade-oriented company , can you handle English papers and write English correspondence ? +Yes . I specialized in English secretary studies at college and that's one of the main parts of my present job . +What are your salary expectations ? +I really need more information about the job before we start to discuss salary . Maybe you could tell me what is budgeted for the position . +The starting monthly salary would be ¥ 2,000 , with rises after the half year according to your competence . +I think it's acceptable and I really like the job . And when can I know the decision ? +We'll inform you of our final decision by early July . Do you have any other questions ? +No . Thank you for the time . +What do you think about the equipment in our company ? +We have to equip our company with a network of work stations at every office and show room as soon as possible . +I also realized this issue . And office automation is essential . +Besides , Internet tends to be more essential now in the information age . +Good idea . A network of work stations is helpful for our management . +And , to be frank , our copying machines are too slow ; our telephone system is limited in function . +You are right . The current equipment of our offices really falls behind . Next week , you can provide me a catalogue of new equipment . +Thank your for calling World Airline . What can I do for you ? +I need to book a plane ticket to London . +Round-trip or one-way ? +One-way . +What date would you like to fly ? +Saturday , July 25 . +How many people will be traveling ? +Just one adult . +Which class ? +Economy , please . Economy class is the cheapest , right ? +Right . Ok , the fare is $ 700 . +Hello , the nurse said that you might have my test results in from the other day . +I would like for you to come in and talk about a few more tests that I would like to run . +Does this mean that you have bad news for me ? +I just want to talk to you about the tests that I want to run . +Can ’ t you just tell me now ? +I don ’ t know anything for certain . We always do a double check if there is a question . +I want to see you right away . +You can come in this afternoon .

Do you think you could manage ? +Yes , I am sure I can . +Do you think you are proficient in both written and spoken English ? +Yes , I think I am quite proficient in both written and spoken English . +Do you think you can make yourself understood in English with ease ? +Yes , I think I can in ordinary circumstances . +Do you think you can speak English quite fluently ?

I'm interested . +Well , it all started when my brother challenged me to quit smoking . +Ha ! That's right . You used to smoke . I forgot ! +When I kicked that habit , I found I had so much more energy . I started exercising . +At the gym ? +No . I like to be outside . I took up hiking and mountain biking . +Good morning . My name is Mr . Brown . I ’ m from Australia . Here is my card . +Thank you . I ’ m pleased to meet you , Mr . Brown . My name is Kathy Pewless , the representative of Green Textile Import and Export Corporation . +Pleased to meet you too , Ms . Pewless .

Have you seen the exhibition halls ? On display are most of our products , such as silk , woolen knitwear , cotton piece goods , and garments . +Oh , yes . I had a look yesterday . I found some of the exhibits to be fine in quality and beautiful in design . The exhibition has successfully displayed to me what your corporation handles . I ’ Ve gone over the catalogue and the pamphlets enclosed in your last letter . I ’ Ve got some idea of your exports . I ’ m interested in your silk blouses . +Our silk is known for its good quality . It is one of our trade - trional exports . Silk blouses are brightly colored and beau - fully designed . They ’ Ve met with great favor overseas and are always in great demand . +Can you help me plan the office party ? +Sure . What do you need the most help with , the food or entertainment ? +I need help with food . +OK , well , let's coordinate our efforts . Should this party be formal or casual ? +I think it should be casual . +I agree . Next , we have to decide on food . We have a choice of Chinese or Continental Cuisine . Which one should we have ? +I would prefer Chinese food for this party . +Perfect choice . For music , should we have a live band or a DJ ? +I think we should hire a live band . +OK then . Well , I will work on my part and get back to you with my progress on Friday . +Good morning . Thank you for the interview . +No problem . Now , do you prefer working with others or flying solo ? +Actually , I enjoy both . +So , what is most important to you in a job ?

Is the plane on schedule ? +Yes , it is . How many pieces of hand luggage do you have ? +Two . +I'm looking for a good multivitamin . Can you recommend one ? +Yes . Come with me to the vitamin section . +I knew there would be a few choices , but this selection is huge ! +You're looking for a multi though , right ? +That's right . Just a simple multi-vitamin that I can take every day . +Okay . Then I recommend this one . It's made especially for men about your age . +Oh ! You took the guesswork right out of that one . +That's my job ! Is there anything else I can assist you with ? +I only want a little off the top and the sides and back to have clean lines . +Okay . Is your hair naturally curly or is it a perm ? +It's natural . My friend told me you know how to work with curls . +That's my specialty . Let me put this around your neck . +Do you have any product that controls frizz ? +With the cut I'll give you , we will minimize a lot of that . +Thank you ! +And when we're done , I'll show you some great stuff to take care of the rest . +Would you pour me some of that tea , please ? +Okay . Say when . +Hey , look , there is a circus show over there . +I'm not in the mood . +It's the circus . +I don't want to sit there and watch them torturing the animals . +Oh , come on , they give them treat too.Oh , look , that little monkey is so cute . +Cute ? Hope so . +Oh , it is coming to us , come on , Ben , get a banana to it . +Me ? No way , keep him away from me , please . +Why are you acting so strange today ? +I've said that I've got a problem with the circus . I'm not kidding . +That's weird ! +Now please tell me something about your past work achievements . +All right , madam . When I was sales manager at the Beijing Friendship Store . I succeeded in raising the yearly sales volume by 25 % and profit margins from 50 % to 80 % . +That is quite an achievement ! Do you consider it your most rewarding work experience ? +I don't think so . I'll create further achievement in the future . +Have you received any honors ? +Yes . I got the title of " Advance Worker " in 2006 . +Do you have any publications ? +Yes . I wrote a thesis entitled " On Interpersonal Relations in the Socialist Market Economy " and it was published in China Daily . +Hit ' em high , hit ' em low . Class of ' 93 — let's go ! +Hi there , everyone . We hope you're having a good night ! +Wasn't that football game great ! I just knew we'd win ! +The night is young , folks . Get some food and mingle with those faces from yesterday . +Later we'll let you know who the King and Queen of the Reunion will be . +But for now , the band is playing the songs from our senior year . Get out on that dance floor ! +Excuse me . Can you tell me how to get to City Hall ? +Yes . Go to the next corner and turn left onto Center Street . Walk three blocks to Second Avenue and turn right . Walk two more blocks and you'll see City Hall on the left . +I'm sorry . I didn't follow you . Could you please repeat that ? +Okay . First , go to the next corner and turn left onto Center Street . +Uh-huh . +Then , walk three blocks to Second Avenue an turn right . Are you with me so far ? +Yes . I'm following you . +Then , walk two more blocks an you ’ ll see City Hall on the left . Have you got all that ? +Yes . Now I've got it . Thank you very much . +What's up ? +Nothing much , what's going on ? +I'm having a party this Friday . +Oh , really ? That's nice . +I wanted to see if you wanted to come . +This Friday ? Sorry , I already have plans . +Doing what ? +I'm going to dinner with my family . +I really wanted you to come , but I understand . +Yeah , maybe next time . +I'll hold you to that . +Sounds like a plan . +I find that you spend little on handset charge every month . Have you any trick ? +It's simple . You can use call transfer . +Is it so simple ? +Sure . You know , we spend most of our time at home or in the office every day , so I receive handset calls with the hand-free telephone , so I need pay little for receiving calls . +It's true . +Call transfer has many other advantages . When I am in places where network can't cover , such as the high building , I also use call transfer function , which transfers my calls to the hand-free telephone and I will not miss any call . +That's all ? +In hospitals or on planes , handsets will interfere with some equip-ment , so we must close our handsets . If you set call transfer , the problem will be solved . +Are you doing anything tomorrow morning ? I'm wondering if you'd like to come to my office to discuss the new project . +Tomorrow morning ? What about tomorrow afternoon ? +Then I'll see you in the afternoon . +OK . +Hello , I want to apply for the position of an usher in your restaurant . +Welcome . One of your duties is to know the number of the customer and accept reservation . +What else do I need to do ? +You inform the people in charge and let them reserve dinning tables for guests . +I ’ m going to be moving out soon . +You still have time on your lease . +There ’ s no way that I can stay here . +That ’ s not going to be all right . +I don ’ t understand why . +I ’ m going to have to keep your deposit +Why can ’ t I have it back ? +Because you ’ re leaving before your lease is over . +You have to give it back to me . +You ’ re not going to get it . +But I ’ m not able to live here anymore . +I can ’ t help you with that . +Can I have my check , please . +Here it is . 350 Yuan all together . +May son adores my new hairstyle so I suppose it is worth it . +Hearing you say that is a big reward for us . And here is the receipt . +Thank you . +Wait ! Congratulations ! You are the lucky customer of our anniversary celebration . +Wow , it's surprising . So what do I get ? +You can have a free facial and then make up free for you . Do you want it now ? +Probably not . Doing that will probably take another three hours which I can't afford now . +Here is our number . Call us when you are ready to come . +You mean I should make an appointment ahead of time ? +Yes . +Got it . Bye for now . +Can I borrow this magazine from you ? It's really interesting and I can't put it down . +I am sorry , but I can't lend it to you now , for I haven't finished reading it . If you don't mind , I can lend you some back numbers to you . +That would be very kind of you . By the way , is it a monthly magazine ? +No , it is a fortnightly . So , you see , I can get the new one quite soon . +Do you use an anti-virus program to protect your computer ? +Yes , I do . I also use an anti-spyware program and a firewall . There are so many nasties on the internet and so many people who are trying to use the internet to hurt other users . You have to be very c +How often do you run your anti-virus program ? +I usually run it every few days . It finds a virus about half the time . +Which anti-virus program would you recommend ? +Have you tried this one ? It ’ s very good and you can download it for free on the internet . You can also download updates for free . +That sounds very good . Which website should I visit to download it ? +Just a minute ... go to this one . I ’ ll send you an email with the line in it . It only takes a few minutes to download . Then you have to go through the set up procedures . But they are not complicated . +What do you use your computer for ? +I use it for several things-surfing the net , word processing and creating presentations . I don ’ t play many games on my computer , but I do a lot of work with photographs . Using a computer program , you +Computers are great , aren ’ t they ? I should download some programs and learn how to use them . +A :: You must be Wily . It's nice to meet you . +B :: Nice to meet you , Mr . Wilson . +A :: Tim , please . Please be seated . +B :: Thank you . +A :: So , Wily , you have been with IBM for two years , ready for change ? +B :: Well , I think I'm ready for new challenges . +Hello . Could you have a taxi pick me up before 10:00 a . m . ? +What is your address ? +I stay at No . 115 Fucking Road . +OK , a taxi will be there by 9:30 . +What are your rates ? +It is RIB 10 yuan initially and 2 yuan for each kilometer . +I have a lot of luggage .

Well , you see , I have this thing here , called a Fixed Deposit Certificate , and I've just noticed the date on it . +Oh , I see . You have two choices here you can either redeem or renew . +I think I'll redeem , if that's not a problem . +No problem at all , Mr Waterstone . Any preference as to how you want the money ? +Anything you like , but not too many large notes . It's useful to have smaller notes . +Here we go , Mr Waterstone . Here's your money and your interest note . +Yes , yes . Everything's fine . Thank you very much , Becky . +What can I do for you , young man ? +I need to rent three pairs of skates for the morning . +What sizes do you need ? +One pair of 37 , and two pairs of 21 . One for me , and the other two for two kids . +Here you are . And here are three crash helmets . +Thanks . Well , those two kids are beginners . What should I do about their safety ? +Well , there are a lot to do , but nothing to worry about . First , make sure they don't go far from the railings . +Oh , yeah , maybe I should ask them just to walk along the railings . +That's a good idea . And remind them to be slow at the beginning , not to run into the railings . +OK . Anything else ? +Never go to the center of the lake . The ice there is too thin to skate on . +Got it . Thanks for reminding me . And , are there any intensive training courses ? +Excuse me sir . May I come in ? +Mike , you're late again . +I'm sorry , but my sister was ill , so I +Do you think I believe the story like that ? +But it's true . +How can believe it if the same excuse was used twice within a week ? +That's coincident 。 +Ok , hold it . Remember to be punctual next time 。 +I promise I will . +You'd better . +Honey , I have something important to say . +Something important ? +Yes . I have just booked two tickets . +Tickets ? What tickets ? +Two air tickets . +Air tickets ? +Yes . We will fly to Paris the day after tomorrow . +We ? The day after tomorrow ? What are you talking about ? +Today is June 18 , isn ’ t it ? +Yes . So ? +Think about it ! +Then it is June 20 the day after tomorrow . +Yes . Think about it carefully . +Oh , come on . Tell me please . Why did you book tickets to Paris ? +Oh , honey ! Don ’ t you remember this important day to us ? +Sorry . +It is our 10th wedding anniversary this June 20 . +Our 10th wedding anniversary ? +Of course . You completely forgot it . +Darling . I think you have made a mistake . +I have made a mistake ? +Yes . We married on July 20 ten years ago . +July 20 ? But I think it should be June 20 . +Yes . We had planned to marry on June 20 , but something happened , so we had to put off our wedding day . +Yes . I remember now . We put it off . I did make a mistake . But how shall we deal with the tickets ? +Since you have booked . Then let ’ s celebrate our wedding anniversary before hand . +Do you want some dessert ? +No , thank you . Check , please . +Wait a moment . I will calculate it for you . Your bill comes to $ 36 . +Here are $ 40 . Keep the change . That's my tip for you . +Food is less expensive in a cafeteria , because you serve yourself . +How to do it ? +Just pick up a tray , then put a knife , a fork , a spoon and a paper napkin on it and stand in the line . +How long will it take to reach the buffet ? +Not long , because people rush for lunch . +The line sure does move fast . +Tell the man behind the counter what you want . +OK . I like that green vegetable but I don't know how to call it . +Just point to it if you don't know the name . +All right . +Hey , did you hear about Jessica's party this weekend ? +Yeah , but I'm still waiting for my invitation . +Oh really ? She gave me mine earlier today . +Well , she'll probably just give me my invitation later on today . +Yeah , so are you planning on going ? +I think so . It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun . +It really does , I can't wait . +What time does the party start ? +It starts at 8 o'clock . +Oh , well , how many people has she given invites to so far ? +I'm not sure , but I don't think she's given out that many . +Well , hopefully she'll give me my invite later on today . +After the financial crisis , many industries are in incredibly cloudy situations . How do you think about our company ? +The outlook in the future is very positive . Because we have been in this field for hundreds of years and we know how to survive this crisis safely . +As the department I am applying for is expanding , I would like to contribute by effort . +Great . Welcome to our company . +Farmer's Pet Store . +Can you please tell me where you are located ? +Sure , we are off Singing Road , close to the bank . +Thank you , I know where that is . +Hi , Bob , this is John Lin . +Hello , John . +I'm with Hartford public relations . I'd like to set up an appointment to come by and talk with you about our services . +How about tomorrow at 11 o'clock ? +Hey , Tom , did you enjoy your lunch ? +Oh , don't mention it . It was terrible . +What ' the matter ? +The food station was as crowded as usual . I waited for 20 minutes for my sandwich , and when I finally got it the chicken was underdone . +I see . You simply can't blame the server for this . +Yes , I know . Fast food is so popular in this district . +That's true . +Anyway , how was your such , Catherine ? +It was good . I brought lunch from home today . +You did ? I thought you must feel right at home here as we get as many fast food restaurants as you do in America . +Well , I personally don't like them because I don't believe that they are healthy . +I guess you're right . More often than not , people go there only for convenience . The foods may taste good , but generally speaking , they are high in calories , salt and fat . +Yes . I am wondering that you must believe fast food is our lifestyle , don't you ? +You bet . Almost all top brands such as McDonald's and KFC are from America . +Well , actually two-thirds of Americans may avoid these places . +Seriously ? +Yeah , it's hard to believe but true . +Have you seen this news article ? Apparently an organization has made a list to name the new seven wonders of the world and people could vote for them online . +Wow , that's really interesting . So who won ? +Well , the Great Wall of China , the Taj Mahal in India . +I've been there ! It really is an amazing work of architecture and art . The entire complex is made of white marble and in the interior of the tomb , the walls are covered with gems and emeralds ! +Cool ! Also amongst the winners is Petra , in Jordan , Mach Pitch in Peru and the pyramid in Chichenitza in Mexico . +Wait a minute ! It also says that the Christ Re-deemer statue in Brazil and the Colosseum in Rome are wonders . I would love to go to Italy and see the Colosseum , stand in the middle like a gladiator ! +Well , let's see if we can find some cheap airfare and we can go towards the end of the year . +Good idea ! +Hello , I'd like to reserve a hotel room . +That should be no problem . May I have your full name , please ? +My name is John Sandals . +Hello , Mr . Sandals . My name is Michelle . What days do you need that reservation , sir ? +I'm planning to visit New York from Friday , April 14 until Monday , April 17 . +Our room rates recently went up . Is that okay with you , Mr . Sandals ? +How much per night are we talking about ? +Each night will be $ 308 . +That price is perfectly acceptable . +Wonderful ! Do you prefer a smoking or nonsmoking room ? +Nonsmoking , please . +Next question , Is a queen-size bed okay ? +That sounds fine . +Okay , Mr . Sandals . Your reservation is in our computer . All we need now is a phone number . +Certainly . My phone number is 626-555-1739 . +Thank you , Mr . Sandals . We look forward to seeing you in New York ! +Good evening , Pizza House . This is Marty speaking.May I take your order ? +Um yes . I'd like a medium pizza with pepperoni , olives , and extra cheese . +We have a two-for-one special on large pizzas.Would you like a large pizza instead ? +Sure , that sounds good . +Great ! Would you like your second pizza to be the same as the first ? +No , make the second one with ham , pineapple and green peppers . Oh , and make it thin crust . +Okay , thin crust . Your total is $ 21.50 and yourorder will arrive in thirty minutes or it ’ s free ! +Perfect . Thank you . Bye .. +wait ! ! I need your address ! +Hello , Personal Banking . How may I help you ? +Hi there . I'm calling about Personal Internet Banking , what details can you give me ? +Personal Internet Banking is a self service financial service that is based on the Internet . It can be used by both businesses and individuals . We offer an online payment service , Personal Net Banking , which includes services such as account transfers , personal foreign exchange trading . You can also get account management services , online bill payment , for household bills like gas and electricity ... +That sounds good . At the moment I spend ages queuing at the post office to pay my bills . +I was surprised to see how few people you have on-site . You provide a wide range of goods and services but have a very small workforce . +It depends on the time of year . At peak times we hire in casual workers to help with packing and dispatch . We also contract out certain services all year round , for example , cleaning . We run a very tight operation ! +Do you handle the recruiting yourselves ? +Sometimes we use a local employment agency . It depends on the job . +Jeff , look at this listing ! It says there is a cozy studio apartment for rent , and it's only $ 700 per month . What do you think ? +Well I think I can afford that apartment . But are pets allowed ? +Hmm ... let me look . Yes , it says it's a pet-friendly building . +That's great . That means I can bring my cat , Mr . Twinkles . Where is the apartment located ? +It says it's located in the suburbs . +What would you like to have for dinner ? Chicken or beef ? +Chicken , please . +Good choice ! +What kind of drinks do you have ? +Well , we have all kinds of beverages in addition to fruit juices . +In that case , let me have a glass of orange juice . +Anything else ? +I would like to have some tea as well . +Another flight attendant is coming down the aisle with coffee and tea . +I see . +I'd like to apply for a credit card . Can you help me with my application ? +I'd be glad to . +I'm afraid that I don't have a credit history . I just came to this country . +Do you have an account with this bank ? +I'm afraid not . +In that case I highly recommend you apply for a savings and checking account also . That would help with your credit card application . +What is the interest rate on your card ? +The annual charge rate is 9.5 % . +That's very expensive ! +Not really . The credit card is a revolving account . You only pay interest on what you owe . +How does the bank bill its customers for credit card charges ? +You will receive a monthly statement with each expenditure itemized . +Does the card provide any other benefits ? +You can also get a cash advance up to 1,000 dollars on this card . +You're really fit , Paul . Do you exercise very much ? +Well , I almost always get up very early , and I lift weights for an hour . +You're kidding ! +No . And then I often go Rollerblading . +Wow ! How often do you exercise like that ? +About five times a week . What about you ? +Oh , I hardly ever exercise . I usually just watch TV in my free time . I guess I'm a real couch potato ! +I don't believe we've met . +No , I don't think we have . +My name is Gao Run . +How do you do ? My name is James Green . +Here's my name card . +And here's mine . +It's nice to finally meet you . +And I'm glad to meet you , too . +Marketing Manager ’ s Office . Can I help you ? +Mr . Smith , please . +Sorry , he is out . +What time do you expect him back then ? +Sorry , I am not sure . Can I take a message ? +No , thanks . I will call back later . +That ’ s fine . Please call again later . +OK . Thank you . Goodbye . +Can I help you ? +Yes , I need some traveler's checks . +How much do you need ? +Three thousand US dollars . +All right , can I have your passbook ? +Yes , here you go . +What amounts do you want the checks in ? +It's all the same to me . +Here you are . +Thanks . +The plumbing in my new apartment is not working . +I need you to tell me what the problem is . +The bathroom sink is stopped up . +Is the kitchen plumbing messed up also , or just the bathroom plumbing ? +Just the bathroom plumbing seems to have a problem . +Did this just start happening , or has it been going on for a while ? +Everything worked beautifully until a few hours ago . +Are you going to be home so I can come by and take a look at the problem ? +I am not sure if I will be home later . +I will be coming by around 10 this morning . If you aren ’ t there , I ’ ll just use my key . +Grand Theft Auto Three is awesome ! +It's more violent than TV news ! +What time is it anyway ? +Nine-thirty . +Oh , my God , three hours already ! I have to get the chores done ! +No time . That's their headlights in the window ! +OK , emergency measures . Let's throw the dishes in the trash ! Two birds with one stone ... +Little dude , your life is over ! +No time to worry . We have to dispose of this evidence . +How old is Keith ? +He's 21 . How old is James ? +He's a year older than Keith , but he looks younger . +How's your father ? +He's fine . He retired last week . It's a turning point in his life . Now he can relax and enjoy his retirement . +He can spend more time with his grandchildren . +Oh , I don't think he wants to . He wants to travel to several different countries around the world . +So , he wants to have a more active retirement . Good idea ! +How do you want to spend your old age ? +In the same way , probably . +Could you do me a favor and proofread my resume before I send it out to the human resources department ? +Sure , let me take a look ... Personal Information , Education , Experience , Training ... I think you should add another section for language . You speak three languages , so you might as well put that on your resume . +But languages don't have anything to do with engineering . Shouldn't everything I put on my resume have something to do with my field ? +Not necessarily . I think people would be impressed by your language abilities . It says something about your level of intellect and experience . Also , I think human resources directors want to see more of a well-rounded person in a resume . +It's just a piece of paper , you think that they can tell if I am a well-rounded person by looking at it ? +Well , you're right , the resume is limited in how much it can tell someone about a person . That's why job interviews are important to let people know the real you that they can't see from a piece of paper . But resumes can be helpful in explaining things and giving a good impression to a potential employer . +Why not come over to work in my company ? +I need to think it over . +Tell me what you need . +All right . I'm prepared to , if the pay is reasonable . +We are approaching the top of the mountain . +What a beautiful view we have here . +Yes , you can have a bird's-eye view of the whole city . +Wonderful . Will we have any free time there ? +Of course . We will stay there for half an hour and you can do your own business . +what did you do last night ? +I just stayed at home and watched TV . +did you watch the Barcelona versus Madrid game ? +yes , it was a very evenly matched game . +what were the results of the game ? +it ended in a tie . +what was the actual score ? +it was three all . +really ? I thought Barcelona was going to win . They are a much better team than Madrid . +if Barcelona had played as they normally do , they should have won . +what happened ? +their goalkeepers got injured after the first goal , but he kept on playing anyway . +that explains it . +how many more games are left this season ? +that was the last game before the playoffs . +when do the playoffs start ? +in a few weeks . Are you planning on watching them ? +of course ! I really love watching football games on TV . +Me , too ! Do you want to come over and watch the next game at my place ? I'm planning on having a few people over to watch it together . +sure , that would be great . +Ok , it's a date then ! +how are you ? +I ’ m fine , thanks . Just trying to get adjusted . It ’ s hard to keep track of everything around here . +That ’ s for sure . You ’ re new , too , huh ? +Yeah . I just got here a couple of days ago . How about you ? +Excuse me . I bought this shirt yesterday , but I would like to refund it . +Gave me the receipt , please . +Here is my receipt . +What's wrong with it ? +It's too small for me to wear . +Would you like another bigger one ? +No thanks . I want to have a refund . +OK , here is your money . +Oh , so many kinds of winter hats . +What is your favorite color , miss ? +Red . +Here you are.It ' s very attractive . +May I try it on ? +Go ahead . +Is there a mirror around here ? +Right over there . +Does it suit me ? +Yes , you look very nice . +How much is it ? +We're having a clearance sale . $ 4 plus tax . +That's quite reasonable . +What can I help you with ? +May I ask you something ? +What's your question ? +How many hours behind the wheel do I need ? +What do you need to take it for ? +I'm trying to get my license . +You need six hours . +Can I do all six hours in one day ? +You have to do it in three days . +That's all I have to do ? +That's everything . +Well , that's a relief . +Excuse me , I have something to trouble you . +Yes ? I'll be very glad if I could be of any help to you . +An hour ago , I bought this vase with my tourist . +Oh , yes . I remember it clearly . Is there anything wrong with it ? +I'm afraid so . We found this crack on the bottom when I went back to my hotel . +Oh , how awful ! Let me have a look , I'm terribly sorry . It was most thoughtless of me . Would you excuse me , please ? +Oh , It's quite all right , I suppose . It can't be helped sometimes . +It's very kind of you to say so . How about changing another one for you ? +All right . Thank you . +Just a minute , please . I won't be long . I'm sure this one is perfect . You may examine it carefully . +Oh , yes , it is . I'll take this one . +I'm very sorry for any inconvenience I've caused you . +Well , there's no reason to apologize for such a trifle thing . +Here you are . You left the medicine here . +Sorry . I was too worried . +I firmly believe that you love your brother very much . +Absolutely . By the way , do you sell any traditional Chinese medicine ? +Yes , we have some Chinese medicine for common cold . +I heard Chinese medicine has a better lasting effect in cure . +It depends . It's true that you can take some for prevention . +What kind of place shall we rent ? +It should be close to the university . Neither of us are good at getting up in the mornings and closer it is , the later we can get up . +Absolutely . That's the most important thing to take into consideration . I'm not too worried about the size of the flat . +Neither am I . So a small place is ok , but we'll get a bigger one if it's not expensive . Do you mind if it's in a noisy area ? +I don't mind . i'm not a light sleeper , but quieter is better for when we have to study at home . +Good point . Ok , let's go to the estate agent and see what they can offer us . +Yes , if we're lucky we'll find something in the next few days . I think you had a good idea to start flat hunting early . +How much do you think the rent will be ? +I asked a few people who are already living in places near the university and they said it would cost about one hundred pounds a month . +I have a terrible toothache . +Which tooth is it ? +This one here . +Ar , Yes . There ’ s a big cavity . +Can you fill it ? +I ’ m afraid not . The tooth is too far gone . it'll have to be taken out . +Then I might as well have it done now . +you ’ d better wait , the gums are swollen . Take the medicine I prescribe and come back in three days . +May I have a look at that vase , please ? +Of course . It's the best one I have here---and it's only 300 yuan . +Oh , it's really nice , but to tell the truth , that's far too expensive . +Really ? Even for such an excellent one ? +Can you tell me the best way to look for an apartment ? +The local newspaper has ads for housing . +Is there any way to find a roommate to share an apartment with ? +Sometimes you can post an advertisement saying that you need a roommate . +What do landlords charge for rent ? +Would you like an apartment for just yourself , or do you need it for two people ? +There are two of us , but we only need a one-bedroom apartment . +You should be able to easily find that for twelve hundred dollars a month . +I really would appreciate it if you could come look at apartments with me . +Sure , I ’ ll go look at apartments with you anytime you want . +Excuse me , would you please do me a favor ? +With pleasure . +I appreciate the building so much . I am wondering if you could take a picture of me against the building . +No problem . +The product's selling points is its advanced technoledge . +Unfortunately , it's just too expensive for majority of consumer to afford . +Why is the price so high ? +It's not just that the price is high , it's that the overhead to update an entire computer system to be compatible is costly . +Model of computers aren't compatible ? +Most current computer systems simply can't handle it because this model truly has extraordinary capabilities . +Maybe after the next generation of technology comes out , the price of this model will become more affordable . +But by then , the technology will be outdated . +True , but our focus has never been affordability anyway . Coastwise , we may not be very competitive , but qualitywise , we definitely have an edge . +That's right , no one else has a product on the market now that is comparable . +This model has advanced technoledge , superior components , it is compact , and it's a top-quality product . +I guess you get what you pay for . +What kind of permanent would you like to have ? +what kinds do you have ? +Oh , yeah , It ’ s quite of variety . Regular , cold perm , straight perm , pink curl and form . +Last time I tried a pink curl perm and form permanent . Set the wave a little loose than as usual , please . +Hello ! How do I get more amenities ? +I'm sorry , sir . I'm not sure I understand . +I'm talking about the free stuff , like soap and shampoo . +Oh , I see . So , you're saying that you've already run out of your amenities . +No , no . I've got plenty left . +Now I'm confused again ! What is the problem ? +What am I going to do about souvenirs ? +Oh , I get it ! You want souvenirs ! +Yes , I've got enough soap for my use , but no extra soap for souvenirs . +Sir , our souvenir shop carries all those items , and as a guest you get a discount . +Please ! Free souvenirs are the only true souvenirs . +I understand completely , sir . Housekeeping will bring you souvenirs in just a moment . +Excuse me . Is this where I catch the bus for the zoo ? +Well , you can take the No . 36 bus from here , but then you have to walk about 30 minutes . +That doesn't sound too bad . +Actually , if you go to the bus stop in the next block , you can take bus 301 which will let you right off in front of the zoo . +Maybe that's what I'll do . Thanks a lot . +You're welcome . +I'd like to order breakfast , please . +What'd you like , madam ? +Two muffins and a cup of coffee.Will it take long ? +No , just a few minutes . +How are you ? +I ’ m doing well . +How may I help you ? +Could you cancel a check for me ? +What ’ s the problem ? +I wrote the check out for way too much . +How much ? +I wrote the check out for $ 150 . +What were you supposed to write it out for ? +I was supposed to write the check out for $ 100 . +I ’ ll just cancel it for you right now . +That ’ s great . You ’ re a lifesaver . +Would you like to take a look at the menu , sir ? +Yes . Thank you . +Would you care for a drink before you order ? +A glass of Qingdao beer . +Yes , sir . I'll bring it over . Have you decided what you'd like , sir ? +Will you make some recommendation ? +I ’ m taking BA fright 123 to London . Can you tell me where the reporting desk is , please ? +Yes , Madam . The reporting desk for the British Airway's flight to London is over there . +Thank you so much . Is this the desk for BA flight 123 to London ? +Yes , this is the right desk . Have you any luggage ? +The suitcase , that ’ s all . Except my handbag . Of course . +Would you please put you suitcase on the scales ? You needn ’ t weigh your handbag . +Is there a receipt ? +Yes . I ’ ll attach your baggage receipt to your ticket . +What must I do next ? +You must go to immigration to the departure lounge . +It's time for bed . +But I'm not sleepy , Mum . Can I stay and watch more TV ? +It's already half past eleven . You have school tomorrow . You'll sleepy all tomorrow , if you don't sleep well tonight . +I know . But I promise I won't be sleepy tomorrow . I work really hard . +Don't you have the exams coming up soon ? I'm sure you could spend more time preparing for those . +Oh , I nearly forgot the exams . +You do well in maths , but your history is not good enough . Am I right ? +Yeah , I guess so . Maybe I can go to sleep now and get up early to review the lessons tomorrow . +An excellent idea . Work now and play later . +I know you're right . School is more important than TV . Can I watch one more show , then go to bed . +No , now it's bedtime . +Yes , madam ? Can I help you ? +Oh , yes , please . But you are just closing , aren't you ? +Well , yes , we are , madam . The shop shuts down in five minutes . +I shall not keep you long then . It was about some saucepans you had in your window last week . +Last week , madam ? I really can't remember which ones you mean . What were they like ? +Oh , they were lovely . Sort of imitation wood , dark brown color , country-style you know , and the lids , if I remember rightly , they had a sort of leaf pattern , or was it flowers ? +That's strange . I don't recognize any of the ones we had from that description . Are you sure they were in this shop ? +Oh , you must know the ones I mean . They were on sale , a real bargain . Reduced to a quarter of the original price . I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them . +I am afraid the sales are over now , madam . And you know we all sold out of the saucepans . +I don't think you did , you know . My neighbor told me she saw some here only yesterday . +Well , it's all new stock in the window now . +May I just have a look , to see if there is anything else ? +Eh , well , madam , as you know we are closing . +Yes , yes , I am sorry I won't keep you . It must get on your nerves when customers come in right at closing time . But they were such beautiful saucepans . I ’ d have bought them if I had made up my mind on the spot . +Perhaps madam , if you come back tomorrow , I could show you the whole range of kitchen ware . And there are still one or two things at the sale price . +Oh , look ! That was the one there . That is the sort of thing I was looking for . But it's not quite the color . +That might be the artificial lighting , madam . Of course , if you could come back in daylight , you might find it ’ s exactly what you are looking for . +There it is . That is the pattern ! The set behind you . Thank goodness , they haven't been sold . And thank you so much for being so patient with me . Yes , those are the ones . +I've come to hear about your offer . +We have the offer ready for you . Let me check . 10 boxes with 50 brooches per box , at 20,000 yuan ; 20 boxes with 50 waistbands per box , at 30,000 yuan ; 15 boxes with other ornaments per box , at 7 , 500 yuan , for shipment in June . The offer is valid for five days . +I can tell you right now that your prices are a little higher than we expected . +You know that the prices of the ornaments have been rising in recent years . The prices we offer this time compare favorably with quotations you can get else where . +I am afraid I can't agree with you there . I must point out your prices are higher than the quotations we've received from other companies . +But you must take the design and quality into consideration . You know we are superior to others in design and quality . We have various styles , which the other companies cannot catch up with . +I agree that yours are of the top . +Well , since your order is large enough , can you give me a rough idea ? +To have this business concluded , I should say a reduction of least 10 % would help . +Impossible . How about 5 % off ? +Right . A reduction of 5 % is acceptable . +So I'm on the fifth floor ? How come this hotel has no fourth floor . +Four is an unlucky number here , Peter.Four sounds like death in Chinese.Hotels often have no fourth floor . +I see.Oh , I know what I wanted to ask.How much should I tip this guy ? +People don't usually tip here , but you can.Fifty dollars should be more enough . +Hello ! This is Ruby speaking from G . O . T . International Travel Agency . What can I do for you ? +I ’ d like to make a reservation for my trip from Detroit to Beijing on April 13 on Trans Pacific Airline . +Do you want a single ticket or a round trip ticket ? +I ’ d like to have a round trip ticket with a one-year open return . +Economy or Business Class ? +Economy , please . How much is it ? +It will be $ 850 . +Very good . Could I get an electronic ticket ? I ’ m always afraid of losing my tickets . +No problem . How do you wish to pay for it ? +Bank of American card . The number is 6786 9182 12300 8657 . +Thank you ! Would you like an aisle seat or a window seat ? +An aisle seat , please . I ’ m tall and need to get up and walk pretty often . +No problem . Your ticket is for Trans Pacific Flight 87 from Detroit to Beijing at 3 forty p . m . on April 13 . You will arrive at Beijing International Airport at six 35 p . m . on April 14 . Your electronic +What time should I arrive at Detroit Airport ? +Please be at the airport two hours before your departure to check in . You also need to reconfirm your reservation with the airline at least 7 days prior to your departure . +What happens if I can ’ t leave on April 13 ? Can I cancel my ticket or change the reservation to another date ? +Yes , you can , but you will have to pay a penalty of $ 75 for any change or cancellation . +That ’ s OK . What are the weight restrictions for checked baggage ? +On Trans Pacific international flights , each ticketed passenger is permitted a maximum of two checked bags with a maximum weight per checked bag of 70 pounds . +That ’ s great ! I can have two bags checked for 70 pounds each . I think I ’ m all set . You ’ re really efficient . Thank you very much for your help . +Thank you for the compliment and for calling G . O . T . Travel Agency . Have a nice trip ! +I do want to meet with you and take a look at your catalogue . We ’ re redecorating and are going to add some things . +Well , I ’ ll be glad to help you out . I can come out anytime on Tuesday or Thursday of next week . +Let ’ s put it down for 1:15 on Thursday . We ’ ll definitely need some new filing cabinets and at least one desk unit . +Fine . I ’ ll bring both our office furniture and equipment catalogues on Thursday . +That looks graceful on you . +Thank you.But it is too bright for me . +How about this brown one ? +Let me try it on . I like that color . +Ok , i will get one for your.Here you are . +But it is too loose.Do you have the smaller size ? +Sorry , it had been sold out . +What a pity ! +I ’ d like to apply for a personal loan . +How much would you like to borrow ? +A thousand dollars . +Let me check with a credit manager . A record show your credit reading is quite high . I don't think you have any problems . +What ’ s the current interest rate ? +Our monthly interest is 1.5 % of the outstanding balance . Would you please fill out the application the form ? +And there's a little upside-down Dilbert on the underside . +When you flip the tie up , he's right side up . Brilliant . +My dad will love this . He's a Dilbert fan . +I wouldn't mind having one myself ... +Model it for me . +OK ! +Wow ! You look just as dorky as Dilbert ! +Welcome . What can I do for you , Madam ? +I hope you can give me some advice . I'm sick and tired of coming here or to the post office to pay my utility bills . It's such a long way from my home , but I checked and you are my nearest branch . Is there anyway I can do it from home ? +That's terrible . Unfortunately , we don't have that many branches outside the centre of town . What I'd advise you to do is set up a Direct Debit Service . +A Direct Debit Service ? What's that exactly ? +A Direct Debit means that every month we can arrange for all of your utility bills to come directly out of your account , no fuss , no hassle . +But how will you know how much I should pay ? I mean , I receive my bills , not you . +We set up an agreement with the , say , phone company . They tell us how much to pay them every month and we pay directly from your account . Of course , we are able to do this with all of the utilities companies . +I see . So , that would mean that every month it would just come from my account ? That does sound like a good idea , totally trouble free . +Hello . +Hi . It ’ s Tony calling from the dentist ’ s office . Is Lily there ? +No , Lily is not here at the moment . +Could you ask her to call me back when she gets in ? +Sure . What ’ s your number , please . +519 367 8901 . +Thanks . And your name is Tony , right ? +Yes . I ’ m Tony . Thank you very much . +You ’ re welcome . Bye . +Bye . +So what do you think of my new dress ? +I think it's great ! I really like the color , and it goes really well with your eyes . I've actually been eyeing that dress at Maxine's for a while now , but I wasn't sure I could afford ninety-five dollars for a dress at the moment . +Um , ninety-five dollars ? +Yes , that's the price they were advertising it at . I was hoping it might go on sale soon . Why , how much did you pay for it ? +I bought it for one hundred and forty-five dollars at Helen's Boutique . I didn't know I could get it cheaper somewhere else . +Of course ! Everything at Helen's is overpriced , and they sell things that you can find at almost every other clothing store ! Why didn't you shop around ? +I don't know , I just saw the dress and thought about how pretty it looks and how much I wanted it . I guess I was too impulsive . +Who gave my dog this cooked chicken bone ? +I did . Why ? +Didn't you know dogs shouldn't eat cooked chicken bones because they're bad for their stomachs ? +No , I didn't . I'm sorry . It won't happen again . +Is it Fred's fault ? +No , I don't suppose he's to blame.The man in the other car made a mistake . +But he's equally responsible because he tried to overtake you . +In foreign trade , exporters have to adjust their product in a timely manner . +How to adjust ? +Exporters must ensure that their product satisfies customers ' needs , wants and likes . +Ah , some products are successful at home , but not be popular overseas . +That's because the fashion , taste and social customs and so on vary considerably . +Yes , sometimes the differences are great . +Well , we should be in accordance with national conditions and adjust the product . +We have to ensure that the product should be attractive to guarantee sales . +I hate doing the damn laundry . +Watch your language . +I want to buy three tickets . What's the entrance fee ? +$ 10 per person . +Here are $ 30 . By the way , where can I find a guide ? +Turn to the next window and they will help you find one . +Thanks a lot . +Shall we share a taxi ? +Where are you heading now ? +I want to go back to my college on the Huanghe road.It is very close to your house . +Is that the university next to the Teachers ' College ? +That's the one . +You mean we'll share the taxi ? +Yeah.If we share the cab , it'll be cheaper.Besides that your Chinese is better than mine.The drivers usually have difficulty understanding me even though I practice my pronunciation carefully . +Well.Don ' t worry about it , I will be happy to share the taxi with you . +Good morning.Are you Mr.Liu ? +My name is Liu Lichi . How do you do ? +How do you do ? Please be seated , How is your trip here ? +Quite good , I think . I came here by bus , and it took me about 15 minutes . +Oh , yes.How old are you ? +Twenty . +Hum , still a student ? +Yes , I'm student of grade 3 in the university majoring in economics . +What subjects are you studying ? +English , math , commercial and legal studies , and accountancy . +Have you had any working experience . +Well , I worked at a supermarket during last summer holidays . +What do you like to do in your spare time ? +I like sports very much.Besides that , I also like working on a computer in my spare time . +How are your English and computer skills ? +I have passed the CET - 4 and 6.As far as computer is concerned I can use the computer for word processing . +Okay . Mr.Liu , we'll inform you of the results within a week . +That dress is very pretty . Why don ’ t you like it ? +It ’ s too loud . +We ’ Ve been looking around for many hours.What on earth are you looking for ? +Well , you know , those styles or colors don ’ t suit me . +What style do you want ? +I want to buy a V-neck checked sweater , and it should be tight . +Oh , I see.How about the color ? +Quiet color . +I know a shop selling this kind of sweaters . +Really ? Let ’ s go there . +Hey Julie , you want to go grab something to eat ? +Sure ! What do you feel like having ? +I really feel like having a big juicy steak ! +Oh . OK . I don't eat meat , but that's fine , I am sure wherever we are going they will have other options right ? +I didn't know you were a vegetarian ! +I'm not , I am a vegan . +A what ? +A vegan . I don't eat or use any animal based products . I don't wear leather , eat eggs , drink milk or anything that comes from an animal . I used to be a pescatarian before , which basically means you don't eat meat , but still have fish and seafood . +Wow ! That's interesting ! It must be tough ! +It's a bit difficult to find vegetarian friendly restaurants sometimes , but since more and more people are vegetarians or vegans nowadays , it's getting a bit less difficult . +How do you feel about that restaurant ? +It wasn't all that great . +What did you dislike the most ? +I don't think that they had their act together . They didn't seem well prepared . +Did you think that the food was any good ? +I wasn't all that impressed by the food . +The service certainly could have been better . +The service did not help the situation . +Is this a restaurant that you want to come back to ? +I am not interested in trying this restaurant again . +Let me see your passport . Is London your final destination ? +No . I am a transit passenger going to Sweden . +How long are you going to stay here ? +Only one night . +Do you have any dutiable items ? +No , I don't . +What are these ? +They are my personal effects . +I heard that you finished my home inspection , and I was wondering how it went . +First of all , we need to understand what I was looking for . Do you know what the purpose of an inspection is ? +I am not sure what a home inspection is all about . +I went there to check for problems with the home , so you aren ’ t surprised when you move in . +Wouldn ’ t the owners have told me about any problems ? +Sellers aren ’ t always truthful , and there might also be problems that they aren ’ t aware of . +Can I require the owners to fix the problems ? +You can make the sale of the house contingent on them fixing the problems . +What did you find out when you did the inspection of my new home ? +There were no major problems . One leaky pipe under the sink and two broken roof tiles was all that I found . +How you celebrate your Valentine ’ s Day with your wife ? +I will take a rain check . +Yesterday I had a quarrel with my roommate . I'm really fed up with all this . +Tell me what seems to be the problem . +My roommate always brings a lot of friends from off-campus . They stay in the room until midnight , singing and talking , drinking and playing cards while I have no place for study . I even don't have the quietness to sleep . +Did you ever talk to him about it ? +What can I do for you today ? +I have a question . +What do you need to know ? +I need to take the driver's course . How many hours do I need ? +It depends on what you're trying to do with the completion of the course . +I need to get my license . +You're going to need to complete six hours . +How many hours a day can I do ? +You can do two hours a day for three days . +That's all I need to do to finish ? +Yes , that's all you need to do . +Thanks . I'll get back to you . +Would you like your bags to be taken to your room ? +Yes , please . +OK . I'll get the bellman to taka them up . Which bags are yours ? +My luggage is in the corner over there . They are the leather suitcase , the canvass holdall and the blue backpack . +OK . +Please be careful with the suitcase , it's very heavy . +I'll let the bellboy know . Don't worry , he's very strong . +And the holdall has some fragile items inside , so please be careful with that too . +Of course . +How far do we have to go ? +About 50 miles . +The traffic is not very heavy on this high way , is it ? So I ’ m sure we ’ ll make it . +No , but we ’ Ve got a hurry . It will be the rush hour soon . +Don ’ t worry . There ’ s plenty of time yet . +But it ’ s Friday today . This road is always jam packed during the weekend , isn ’ t it ? +Right . +Hello ! I'm sorry to bother you . This is a complimentary fruit tray . Your food will be ready soon . +Wow ! It's a fruit sculpture ! Your chef is a real artist ! +Actually , uh , I made it myself ... +You did ? Wow ! Where did you learn ... +Sorry , but I've gotta run . Enjoy your food , and ring the service button if you need anything else ! +How can we develop a new brand image with no direction whatsoever ? +With the fifty forwards he sent out today , maybe we'll inadvertently get inspired . +I guess this is a good excuse to surf the Net on someone else's dime . +Who'd have thought Bean would be this kind of e-mail fanatic ? +He must have just got online for the first time last week . He still thinks it's some kind of new toy . +Okay , so we're agreed on 900 . +I'm happy with that price . +Let's shake on it . +Okay , let's shake on it . +May I help you ? +Give me a Big Mac , a small order of French fries and a medium Coke . +You'll need to wait a few minutes for the fries . They are still in the fryer . +That's fine . +Your total comes to $ 7 . +Here's a twenty . Could you give me some more napkins ? +Sure . Your cash back is $ 13 . And we'll bring out your fries in two minutes . +Thanks . +Let me tell you some more . The interest is settled on the 20th of the last month in each quarter , It's paid quarterly . Of course it also needs to be settled if you cancel the account . +Miao Ping , in your opinion , should we go for the Type A or Type B Account ? +Well , the Type B Account is very restricted . If your aim is to use the account the same way as your use your Settlement Account , I would recommend the Type A Account for you . +Thanks for your time . I'll go and discuss everything with my partner and I'll be back later . +Sarah , you don't look so good . What's the matter ? +I've got a really bad headache and my stomach hurts . +It sounds like you're coming down with something . +Excuse me , could you give me change for a dollar ? +I'll see what I have . What do you need it for ? +I want to get cigarettes . +You can use quarters , dimes and nickels . +Hi . I ’ m here to catch flight 513 to New York . +May I see your ticket please ? +Here you are . Do you need to see my passport ? +Any form of picture I . D . will do . +Mmmm ... a photo I . D . I have my New Jersey driver ’ s license . Is that ok ? +That will do . What an interesting picture ! How old is it ? +Actually it wad taken just last year , but I had a shaved head and a beard . Can you still recognize me ? +Barely . Will you be checking any luggage today ? +Yes , One suitcase . I also have a carry-on bag . +Ok . Mr . Lee , you ’ re all set . Your flight leaves from gate 10 . Boarding begins at 10:30 +Which university did you graduate from ? +I graduated from Peking University . +What was your major at university ? +I studied economics , I am especially interested in the economic development of China . +What course did you like best ? +I like Business Management , and i think it's very useful for the present work . +What do you think is the relationship between the subjects you've taken and the job you are seeking ? +I've taken courses on office administration , reports and correspondence writing . I think all these are closely related to the job of assistant manager , because it requires the ability to perform general office work and to assist the manager in handling all paperwork . +Marco has fallen off a ladder . I think he's hurt his back . What shall we do ? +We'd better not move him . I'll get the first-aider . +Have you ever shopped online ? +Quite often . It is very convenient , saving me a lot of time . +Do you have some experiences to share with me ? I want to have a try . +You are asking the right person . Here are two very important tips . First , you need to visit no more than one site to find the best products and prices . I can recommend you some online merchants . Second , write your mail address correctly . Otherwise , you can ’ t receive your delivery in time . +What about the registration procedure ? Is that complicated ? +Not at all . You just need to provide your name , address , e-mail address , phone number and bank or credit card information . I will help you with that . +It is so nice of you . +Hey , you look great ! how's everything ? +Yeah , you know what ? I've been going to the club regularly . The training really pays off . Now I am in a good shape and I know more about how to keep fit . +Really ? tell me about it . I haven't gone to the club for a long time . I am too busy with work . +It's important to do proper exercises . +You're right . Too much or too little won't do any good . +The trainer tells me , besides regular sports activities , I should also have a healthy and balanced diet . +Sounds reasonable . +We should eat more vegetables instead of junk food to stay energetic . +And fruits ! +Surely it is . Getting enough sleep is also crucial for fitness . +I've heard that . Does your trainer tell you anything about keeping fit ? +Yeah , he advises me to stay in a good mood . That can also help one to keep sound physical health . +I think if you follow your trainer's advice , you'll be on the right track . +You bet it ! +What's your main range ? +Generally speaking , we provide bikes for both gentlemen and ladies , size 19 , 21 , 23 , 25 and 27 inches . We can vary the colors according to the buyer's requirements . Here are the catalogues and the pattern books . They will give you a rough idea about our products . +I am interested in your flying pigeon bicycles . I think some of these items will find a ready market in Canada . But what our customers appreciate most is a reliable product . +To be reliable is the strong point of our products . As a matter of fact , it's always our practice to supply high quality goods at reasonable prices . Flying pigeon is the best of its kind at the price . +Then I'd like to know your availability of the products and the terms of sales , such as mode of payment , delivery , discounts , etc . +I have learnt how to ride a bicycle . I plan to go to the Water Park by bike this weekend . +Well , you know , the traffic in Beijing is sometimes dangerous . Therefore , I have to remind you of something . First , you should obey the traffic rules , don't break in the red light . Second , don't play a joke with your friends when riding on the bike . Third , do not hurry up when riding , or would make an accident . Finally , remember come on the left and go on the right ! +Oh , my dear sister , I am no longer a baby ! +You have a lovely house , Jack . +Thank you . But a number of things have been going wrong lately . +That's too bad . What problems are you having . +Oh , the whole house needs re-painting for starters . The carpet in the living room is worn out , and I'd like to put in new wall-to-wall carpeting . Last week , I had to call the plumber to fix the toilet . Anyway , all par for the course when you own a house , I guess . I think I am going to hire an interior decorator to look the place over . +I've studied home decoration as a hobby . Could I make some suggestions ? +Go right ahead . +Well , I think a crystal chandelier would look great in your living room , and maybe some new drapes for the windows . Also , a grandfather clock would look great in the den . Perhaps you could buy some potted plants for the dining room +Wow , you really do have a talent for this , Alice . Thanks for the suggestions . +You are welcome , Jack . Glad to be of help . +Hello , Mrs.White ! I'm Anne . +Nice to see you with us , Anne.Please make yourself at home . +Thank you.You ' re so considerate . +Do you have sport shirts for ladies ? +There are different types . Which one do you like best ? +I think the red one fits me well .

Thank you so much for stopping . +Yeah , she's hot . Radiator's leaking . Looks like you were running her pretty hard . +That must have been just before I got the speeding ticket . +Did you have an accident recently ... Hey , wait a second ! I know this car ! +You do ? +I ran into it a couple of weeks ago . What do you know ? Name's Hal . +I'm Akimbo . Nice to meet you , I guess . +Boy , I'm sure sorry about your car . Hey , Akimbo , I wonder if you'd like to make a deal ? +What kind of deal ? +I'd like to give you cash for the damage to your car . +You don't want your insurance company to pay for it ? +I'd rather not . They'll raise my rates . It'll cost me more in the long run . +If you give me cash , do you care if I don't fix the car ? +Hell , I don't care . Just don'T submit a report to your insurancecompany . +It's a deal , Hal . Thanks again for stopping to help .

Take it or leave it . +Good afternoon , sir . Have you made a reservation ? +I am afraid not . Are there any vacant tables ? +I don't think so . You have to wait for about 10 minutes . +That's all right . +I am calling to consult you about the job as a copywriter . +Yes , what do you want to know ? +The information is scanty for me . And can you describe the responsibilities of the position ? +Yes .

I'll be your waiter this evening . Are you ready to order or do you need a few more minutes ? +I'm ready now . I'd like the roast chicken and a side order of corn . +And would you like an appetizer before your meal ? The soup of the day is our delicious tomato soup . +I'll pass on the soup , but I'd like a garden salad . +Can I get you anything to drink ? : +Yes , I'd like a glass of iced tea . +Okay . I'll be back in a minute with your drink and salad . +Thank you . +Do you want to help me make the cookies , Anna ? +I'd love to . +First , put away your toys . +OK . +I'll get the flour out . +Let me help you . +We have made some adjustment on the prices . And this is renewed price list . +Thank you for allowing us 3 % reduction , but still we find your price is on the high side . +This is our rock-bottom price , and we can't make any further reduction . +If so , we find it difficult for us to go on with our talks . +Then what ’ s your counter-offer ? +This is our counter-offer . +We are sincere to make business with you , but the difference between your counter-offer and our price is too great . +So are we . Our counter-offer is in line with the world market . +How about meeting each other half-way in order to conclude the business ? +Agreed . +What do you usually have for breakfast ? Pancakes or waffles ? +I usually have cereal for breakfast . +But isn't it served with cold milk ? +Yeah . Cold milk wakes me up . +Chinese people don't like to eat cold food . +Is that right ? +But I'm open to new things . I'll have a bowl of cereal , too . +With cold milk ? +With cold milk ! +I am so happy to know that the promotion campaign for our new product is very successful . We just made a record sale this season . +That is very encouraging news . I heard that the marketing department has done a three months research , they sent the feedback information to the research and development center by the end of every month . That is to say , the R & D center redesigned the product twice before it was launched into the market . +It is not an easy job . How do you like the advertisement for the new product ? +That is the best one I have seen . I am sure our target customers , young people will love it . +Certainly . +Hi , I need to copy something right now . +Our computer lab on the first floor has a copy machine , sir . +Great ! How much per copy ? +Sir , one copy is ten cents . +Okay , I'll be down there shortly . +You probably won't have to wait for anyone , sir . +Hi , Ellen . That outfit looks terrific ! +Thanks , Jim . I didn ’ t think guys paid attention to stuff like that . +No , we just don ’ t usually admit it ! +Well , thanks for the compliment anyway ! +This Olympic park is so big ! +Yes . Now we are in the Olympic stadium , the center of this park . +Splendid ! When is it gonna be finished ? +The whole stadium is to be finished this June . +How many seats are there in the stand ? +Oh , there are 5000 seats in total . +I didn ’ t know it would be so big ! +It is ! Look there , those are the tracks . And the jumping pit is over there . +Ah ... I see . Hey , look the sign here , No climbing . +We put many signs with English translations for foreign visitors . +It's located in the suburbs ? Well even though that sounds like a steal , I really want something downtown . +OK . Well the problem is that the apartments in the heart of the city are usually more expensive . +I know , that's my problem . What do you think I should do ? +Well , maybe you could get a two-bedroom apartment downtown and share the rent with a roommate . +Oh , great idea ! +So , Monica , how do you like your new office ? +Well , I love it . The room is spacious and clean with big windows and a lot of sunshine . There are plants along the corridor . Especially , I got my own desk with computer and telephone . Such a great place ! +That ’ s very good . I once turn down a job offer just because the office is awful . +What was so bad about it ? +Small rooms , small window , a small desk shared by three people . I would have been interrupted all the time and for sure not be able to deliver good work . +Sounds bad ! Lucky you ! You didn ’ t take that job . I think a good office environment is also important to work efficiently . +Totally agree . By the way , the number of the telephone on your desk is extension 506 . You can pick up your office supplies from the supply room at the end of the corridor . +Now , if I look here I see that you completed a BA in English ? +Yes , that ’ s right . After graduating from high school in New York I attended York University in the UK . My major was English , and my minor was business studies . I completed my BA in 2004 . +Yes , I ’ m pleased to see that you also got a distinction . +Yes that ’ s right . I ’ Ve always enjoyed studying . My friends say I ’ m a bit of a bookworm , but my father always pushed us to succeed academically . +Well , it looks like his encouragement paid off Rebecca . So how about extracurricular activities at University ? +Well I ’ Ve always been keen on writing , so I became the editor for the University student magazine , which I really loved . Also I volunteered for a group called Shelter , to help the homeless in York . +What did that involve ? +Providing warm meals and shelter , especially in the winter months . I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group . +I ’ m sure . Okay , now let ’ s move on to your work experience , shall we ? +Yes , okay . +Could you change these for me , please ? +What would you like ? +Twenties and some smaller bills , please . +Anything else ? +Yes . Could you tell many balance ? Here's account number . +Now , what seems to be the trouble ? +It's nothing serious . But I always have a headache , and I haven't slept properly for several weeks . I've also lost appetite and my eyes are burning . +Mm , you do look rather pale . Let me take your temperature . Would you put the thermometer under your arm , please ? Now , let me listen to your pulse . Mm , do you feel weak ? +Yes , I never seem to have any energy . +I'll give you a blood test . Would you roll up your sleeve ? Just as I thought . You're anemic . You'd better pay more attention to your diet . Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and food high in protein . And don't stay up late working . Try to get more rest . +Thank you . +Excuse me , I would like to know something about this campus . Right now it seems very big and confusing ! I have no idea where I am going or what I am doing . +Do you have a map of the campus ? +Yes , I have , but it doesn ’ t help me very much . I ’ m not very good at reading maps . +Do you know where your classes are ? +More or less . I go to three different buildings , and always get there late . I feel so hopeless . I don ’ t know why I am late all the time . No one else seems to be . +That's because you don't know the short cuts . You'll learn them after a while . I can show you the ropes . +Good morning , I would like to reserve a berth . +Which train do you like ? +T112 to Washington please . +May I have your name ? +That's Lincoln . +Will you be voting ? +I can ’ t wait to vote . +Who are you voting for ? +The person I ’ m voting for is the best . +What do you like about him ? +He is very intelligent . +You think so ? +That ’ s right . Plus , I agree with his policies . +I ’ m glad to hear that you are so excited . +I ’ m voting for the next President . +I ’ m sure he will be . +I ’ m going to make sure and vote . +Good morning . May I help you ? +Yes , I'd like to check out now . My name's Adams , room 312 . Here's the key . +One moment , please , sir . ... Here's your bill . Would you like to check and see if the amount is correct ? +What's the 14 pounds for ? +That's for the phone calls you made from your room . +Can I pay with traveller's cheques ? +Certainly . May I have your passport , please ? +Here you are . +Could you sign each cheque here for me ? +Sure . +Here are your receipt and your change , sir . Thank you . +Thank you . Goodbye . +What type of people do you work with most effectively ? +I tend to work well with people who are confident and straightforward.It ' s more difficult for me to be around timid people , because I move quickly and I am decisive . +What things impress you in your colleagues ? +I admire and work best with people who are of good character and integrity . I also think confidence and enthusiasm is positive in any business environment . +What are some of the things your supervisor did that you disliked ? +The only thing I really don't like is to get feedback in front of others . I want to hear good and bad feedback in private , so that I have time to think and react to the issue without other distractions . I believe that's the fair way to improve learning or to change future behavior . +How do you organize and plan for major projects ? +I love to brainstorm a best , worst , and most likely scenario.Then , I set a timetable that's realistic.What I usually find is that some combination of my schedule easily as these things unfold because I've already visualized what could happen and how I'd react . +Describe an experience when you had to work under great pressure . +I had to complete an end of quarter report once while I was on the road for two consecutive weeks.The amount of telephoning back and forth was incredible , because I could't bring my office files with me.Luckily I had a great secretary and a logical filling system , so we located everything we needed . +How do you manage your time in a typical day ? +I've always given priority to work with established clients , because they offer a better risk / return value.The last thing I do is general correspondence , especially internal correspondence , which I take care of at the end of the day or week . +Describe a time when you acted on someone's suggestion . +I changed my open office hours because several of my employees found it difficult to visit me except in the early mornings . +Did you get Bean's ten different good luck forwards , like that one from the Dalai Lama ? +Yeah , I deleted all that superstitious crap . What a waste of bandwidth ! +I figured I might as well send one or two of them out . Maybe my luck will get better . +Do you really think the Dalai Lama sent that ? I'm tired of all these forwards . +It's worth a shot . Maybe we'll get some luck in thinking up something for this case . +I am sorry to have kept all of you waiting . I was delayed by something urgent . +You are not late , Mr . Thomas . There're still 15 minutes to go . Mr . White has just called you . +What did he say ? +He said there was a traffic jam , but he is coming . +He shouldn't drive his car . He should come here by bus . +Want to send out for some Chinese ? +Some what ? +Some Chinese food . I'm hungry , and there's a take-out restaurant near here . We can have them deliver and then watch the news on TV while we eat . +No , I'd rather go out . The Chinese food here is rather different from what I had at home . Maybe we can try some other food today ... What about that all-you-can-eat place we passed the other day , the one over in the shopping center ? +Okay . I could go for that . It's called Al's Steakhouse . They also have great fried fish , and I love their salad bar . You can go back to refill your plate as often as you like . +Is that the place that serves such large portions of meat ? +Yes , their steaks are enormous . Sometimes I can't finish what I've ordered . +What if that happens to me ? I hate to let food go to waste . +Don't worry . We'll just get a doggie bag . +Do you get the news that our company is trying to find out new tactics to test us ? +I know something about it . Our company often organizes all kinds of lectures to improve our professional skills . +It takes most of our weekends to listen to these boring lectures , so I can not bear it anymore . It is said that they think out some tests to check our management skills . +Is that true ? +Definitely ! +If that information is exact , I guess our company is willing to promote someone . +Hello sir , how may I help you ? +I would like to buy some flowers , please . Something really nice . +I see , may I ask what the occasion is ? +It ’ s not really an occasion , it ’ s more like I ’ m sorry . +Very well.This arrangement here is very popular among regretful husbands and boyfriends . It has a dozen long stem red roses with a couple of sunflowers and a single orchid that stands out . It includes a small teddy bear to achieve the effect of immediate forgiveness . +I think I ’ m gonna need more than just a dozen red roses and a bear . What else do you recommend ? +Mmm , well this is our I ’ m sorry I cheated on you package . Two dozen red roses lined with tulips , carnations and lilies . The fragrance and beauty of this flower arrangement is sure to make her forgive you . +I don ’ t think that ’ s gonna cut it . I need something bigger and better ! +I ’ m sorry sir but , what exactly did you do ? +Well , I may have accidentally insinuated that she is getting chubbier . +Get out of my store , you jerk ! +I have to get to Chicago by tomorrow and you're telling me that there are no flights ? +I'm very sorry , sir . I could put you on a waiting list , but you would be wise to check out other means of travel . +You mean like a bus ? Have you ever traveled for ten hours on a bus before ? +I have not sir . But I do have a number for a very comfortable bus that goes to Chicago every hour from here . +Alright , give me the number . But put me on that waiting list as well . +Here is the number , and your name is on the waiting list . +How many people are on the waiting list right now ? +Right now I show that there are 176 people on the list . And you are number 176 . +How do you think they could be ended ? +I don't think that there is any easy way . The United Nations could send peacekeepers into the country . At least then the warring parties could be forced to negotiate . +So , if the cause is poverty , there should be a program to make the country richer.If the problem is resources , share them . +It sounds easy when you say it like that . In reality , it's harder to make peace between countries . +Yes , it is.One way to stop countries fighting is to cut off their financial support . Wars are very expensive . +You still have not given me those files I ’ Ve asked you for . +I ’ m sorry , Mr . Myers . I ’ Ve just been so busy today . +I really don ’ t want to hear your excuses , Janet . We ’ re running a busy office here . You ’ re going to have to keep up . +You ’ re right , sir . I apologize . I ’ ll get those files for you now . +What sort of job would you like to take ? +I prefer a sedentary job and I used to work as an operator . +We need an operator now . +It's just the job I've been searching for . +I wish the politicians would quit digging up dirt about each other's past . +I know . It really makes a mess of the whole election process . +And it takes up all the news . +The problem is that there always a large number of people who eat that kind of stuff up . +It's so small . The fact that there is public interest , doesn't say much for us as the public . +Have you ever listened to AM radio ? It's quite a different experience than the traditional news stations on TV and FM radio . +I don't remember the last time I listened to AM radio . +Another place you can get real insight is European papers . You can get them on-line . +Hello , Miss Wu , This is Dan Robson calling from OTC limited . I'd like to check my last order . When exactly was it sent out ? +I can check that for you right now . Would you mind holding ? +Sure . No problem . +Mr . Robson , I'm sorry . Our computer system is down . Could I call you back later ? +Sure . Do you have my number ? +Yes , I have it right here . I'm so sorry about this . +No problem . I'll wait for your call . +What are you typing there ? +I'm working on my resume . +Really ? Did you find any information about a new job ? +Yeah , I just got some good information off the internet . +Great ! Do you think you have a chance at getting the job ? +I didn ’ t just find out about one job . There were several ones that looked good . +Maybe I should try looking on the web for work . +Sure you have to be patient . But I think it ’ s much less trouble to sit in front of a computer than to go door to door or to make a lot of phone calls . +But there must be so many people who also see the advertisement for that job on the net . You might have no chance . +How do you know if you don ’ t have a try ? +Would you please show me the necklace in the window ? +Is this the one you want ? +No , the one next to it . +Here you are . +Thanks . What kind of stone is this ? +It's a ruby . It is from South Africa . Would you like to try it on ? +Yes , please . How much is it ? +It costs $ 200 . +It looks good . OK . I'll take it . +Happy birthday , Jim ! +Thank you , Lisa . +Here is a present for you . I hope you like it . +Oh , great ! I love it ! You know I've been expecting this for a long time . +I'm very glad to hear that . +Come here , let me introduce some friends to you . +What's wrong with you ? You look pale . +I'm not sure , I feel hot and cold . +When did the trouble start ? +I was sick most of the night . +It sounds like you are coming down with the flu . Let me take your temperature . +Have I got a high fever ? +Yes , thirty-eight point seven . Do you have a headache , chest or throat pain ? +Yes , I have . +Now , let me have a look at you . I'd like to listen to your chest . Now breathe in , a deep breath , that's it Cough , now again . I want to examine your throat , too . Open wide , say ' Ah - - ' +Aaaaahh , aaaaahh . +Yes , it does look a bit sore . Let's take an X-ray of your chest and give you a few tests . +All right , thanks . +The tests showed nothing wrong . A slight viral infection . +What shall I do today ? +I'm giving you some antibiotics and aspirins . Take an aspirin when you've got a fever , and take one antibiotic capsule every four hours , and go home and rest in bed for two days . Drink plenty of water , then you'll feel better . Here's the prescription . +I have to check out today . I'd like my bill ready by 10 this morning . +You can be sure of that , sir . +Thank you . +I called HP about my computer . +What did they say ? +They said I need a new hard drive . +That's too bad . How much is a new one ? +It's not too much , only about $ 85 . +Plus installation ? +No , my hard drive is easy to remove and replace . +Really ? +Yes , it's just a couple of screws . +That's nice . +It's a lot better than paying someone $ 60 . +If my hard drive crashes , I'll just call you . +Gosh , it's 7:30 , I'll miss the first class . +Don't get up so late next time . You should have gone to bed earlier last night . +Yes , Mum . +Is there anything wrong ? +I ’ m worried about my daughter . She can ’ t decide about college . +Don ’ t worry . That ’ s just a part of being a teenager . +I don ’ t mind that . But she disagrees with me about everything . +You should encourage her to make up her mind by herself . You shouldn ’ t affect her decision . +But I just want to give her some tips . +Oh , she can make her own decisions . +I guess you are right . +Believe me . Everything will be ok . +I hope so . +It's beautiful here . +Yes . I feel refreshed . +How long will we dock ? +In half an hour . The surface of the lake is calm . +Yes . We come at the right time . +that was a really good meal , Gordon . +It sure was . I couldn't eat another bite . +well , it is getting pretty late . I think we should go home . +you're right . I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow . +let's see how much the bill is . +don't worry about it . Tonight is my treat . +what are you talking about ? We'll split the bill . +no , I insist . I kept telling you that I would treat you to dinner but I still haven't . +no way , Gordon . I know that you are a little short on cash at the moment . There's no need for you to pay for the whole bill . +alright , if that's the way you are going to be , we'll split the bill . +that's better . This way we will both have money to take a cab home , otherwise , you would probably have to walk . +just promise you will let me treat you to dinner next week , ok ? +you've got a deal . +great . Bye . +bye . +I hear you are planning to travel abroad . +Yes . I'm going to the Untied States for travel . What places do you recommend ? +In my opinion , there are several places you mustn't miss , like Washington D . C , Las Vegas , New York and Los Angeles . +Someone suggests that I should go to Seattle and Hawaii . +Yes , you may consider those two places also . Seattle , for example , is worth visiting and there's a very famous museum called Museum of Flight . +And Seattle is the home of Microsoft and Boeing . That must be a great place . I can't miss it . +This looks like a very nice house . +You know , I fell in love with this house the first moment I laid eyes on it . +The style of the exterior is just what I ’ Ve been looking for ! +The exterior is only half of the story . The interior is incredible . +This home is gorgeous on the inside ! +Everything that you see on the walls , floors , and windows is brand new . +The wall colors totally suit the style of this house . +Straight ahead is the gourmet kitchen . +I love the bamboo flooring and granite countertops . +The master suite is the best . Let ’ s go look at that next . +There is plenty of room for our king-sized bed , and I love the light in this room . +I know that you like this house , but let ’ s take a look at the others before you make up your mind . +Room service.What can I do for you ? +l am afraid there isn't any fancy soap in my room . +Sorry sir , we will bring you one.Anything else ? +Yes.Bring me a bath towel as well . +Good afternoon.British Airline.Is there any thing I can do for you ? +Can I make a reservation for flight FW58 to San Marino ? +Sure . When do you want to take the plane ? +Next Monday . +Will that be first class or economy seat ? +What's the fare for a first class seat ? +$ 200 . +Oh . I am not a wall streeter.Give me an economy one please . +Hello , Sir . So , you are back ? +Yes , hello again . I would like to know the exact difference between Dividend Deposit and Dividend Participated Deposit . +That's pretty easy to explain . With the Deposit , the interest is fixed , but the Dividend of each policy will be transferred automatically into your bank account by the end of each year . The longer the term , the higher the Dividend you earn . This is because it is calculated at the Compound Interest Rate . +And I can purchase that here ? +Yes . And if you already have a Current Account with us , the Insurance Premium can be paid through it , which saves all of us a lot of hassle . +Are there any beds vacant ? +Yes , what kind of room do you want ? +I prefer one facing the sea . Besides , it should have a shower . +Sorry , right now we can only have you a room without shower . +Well , that's fine . +Welcome to the company . We are conducting a survey of new employees to find out what influenced them to choose our company . +That's easy . It was your office ergonomics that decided me . +You're kidding ! Something as simple as that ? +Yes . It is very important to me . My mother worked in offices for twenty years , and she finally had carpal tunnel syndrome . I have been reading about repetitive stress injuries , and I know that t +Yes , there has been a lot of research into RSI's . Something so simple as proper chair height can prevent injuries . Tell me , did anything else influence your decision ? +Yes , I noticed that you have professional training and team-building days . I like the idea of working for a company that invests in its staff . +Well , welcome to the team . +Good afternoon . I've brought the extra blanket you asked for . +Oh , thank you . +Is there anything I can do for you now ? +Yes . I'm rather tired and want to go to bed early . Please make the bed . +Certainly , sir . +Lin's office supplies . How may I direct your call ? +Marry Lin please . +Sure , just a moment . ... I'm sorry no one answer the phone . +All right , could I leave a message ? +Certainly ! +Please ask her to call John . +Excuse me . Where is the way out ? +Well , that's what I'm looking for myself . +It's very confusing in here , isn't it ? +Absolutely . Oh , do you see a sign there ? +It should be the way out . +OK . Let's go and see . +Excuse me , I ordered the well-done steak , but this one is so tough . +Well , sir , I think I have made a mistake . I will take it back to the kitchen right now . +I think you should be more careful next time . +Yes , sir . I'm really so sorry about that . +Allan , I am really disappointed by your lack of effort on this project . +Look , Sally . I ’ Ve put just as much work into this as anybody else . +No , I ’ m sorry . I disagree . I don ’ t think you ’ Ve been working at full speed at all . +Well . I ’ m sorry you feel that way . +Hi Joe , how are you doing today ? +Things are going good today . How have you been doing , Mary ? +Things are going well for me , Joe . +Want to go see a movie tonight ? +My parents are taking me to dinner tonight . +Could you go with me to the movies on Friday night , instead ? +What movie did you want to see ? +There is a new horror flick about a rapist serial killer . +I was thinking that I would like to see “ The Secret Life of Bees . ” +Oh great ! Sounds like something I need to bring Kleenex to ! +How's the bride-to-be ? +Tired and stressed . This wedding is giving me a headache . +Just relax . With me as your maid of honor , everything will be fine ! +I'm worried that everything will be chaotic ! +Hey ! I'm the tour guide . I'll take care of the Taiwanese guests . +You're going to have to tell them what to do in church , what everything means ... +I will . Don't worry ! +Jim ? Jim ? ... What are you doing in the kitchen ? +Nothing , Mummy . I was hungry so I came here for some milk . +Milk ? I thought you didn't like milk . +I don't , but I couldn't find anything to eat in the refrigerator . +Nonsense . There's lots of food in the refrigerator ... What's behind your back ? +Nothing . +What are you hiding behind your back ? Let me see . +Promise that you won't get angry . +OK , I promise . What is it ? +It's a kitty . +Oh , Jim . I told you . No pets . It'll make a mess of this house . +Please , Mummy . Everybody else in my class keeps a pet . Please , I'll take care of it . It's a good kitty . It'll not bring you any trouble . +No way . It might belong to somebody else . You can't keep it here . +Please , Mummy . I found it this afternoon by the garbage bin . It was starving and looking for something to eat . Please ! You see , it's so cute and tame . +All right . But you have to clean up everything it messes up . +I will . Thank you , Mummy . +I was wondering if you could help me with something . +Sure , anything you say . +Actually , it ’ s a little bit silly . +Don ’ t worry about it , just ask . +What words do I need to know to buy a pair of shoes ? +You need to know the type of shoes you want . +Don ’ t worry about that . I can point it out in the store . +The shoes can be comfortable or not comfortable , too wide , too narrow , or just right ; and long or short . In girls shoes , the heel can be high or low . +Let me write all that down . I ’ m going shopping this afternoon . +Excuse me . How long has it been since the business was founded ? +It has been 12 years since it was founded in 1998 . +So , it has a history for more than a decade ? +Yes . And it was incorporated with other businesses in 2008 due to the global financial crisis . +What can I do for you , Madam ? +Can you help me with Comprehensive Credit Granting ? +Certainly , Madam . What would you like to know ? +Well , everything really . +All right . We can grant a Financing Promise Quota , if you qualify . This means that we can deal with all of your needs in a speedy and efficient way . Firstly , your Credit Rating must be class A , and your Debt to Asset Ratio must be top notch , for the industry you are involved in . +Let's do something outdoors today . +All right . But I don't want to play tennis . We played tennis last weekend . +Okay . what do you want to do ? +I want to go jogging . +All right . That sounds like fun . +Good afternoon . I come here specially to pick up my tickets . I booked it last month.This is my reservation note . +I am terribly sorry . You didn't come to reconfirm recently.You should have come to pick up your ticket three days ago since it's an international flight , any reservation without reconfirmation within 72 hours will be cancelled . +But I have been so busy all these days.Well , is there any other ticket available ? I want the next one . +The last thing to be ignored at a Chinese dinner table is to keep modest . +Does that suggest diners avoid speaking much ? The same is true in the West . +No , absolutely not ! On the contrary , you'll be considered a well-connected , sociable man , if you keep involved in the conversation all the time . But always pay attention to what you say . If the table has a senior guest , say something as upbeat and cheerful as possible . Or maybe , you may give the floor to him and keep listening as if very interested . +You mean , keeping a low profile in the presence of the old ? That goes in like with Confucius ' preachings , right ? +Correct . Show respect for the older people . Conventionally , before the meal starts , the younger members are supposed to address each one of the elderly members of the table one by one . Others are kept in waiting until the most venerable guest proclaim the beginning of the meal and takes the first bite . Toasts also go to these men first before people can toast to each other . +Any other rules to observe in order to keep modest ? +Yes , plenty of them . Don't eat fast ! People usually keep their dining pace accorded with others . And all the dishes should not be eaten up completely . +Is it because that would give the host the impression that the food was insufficient ? +Haha , I'm afraid it's simply because no one wishes to be too noticeable by finishing off the plate . +Our toner cartridges are already out of ink ... Could you make an order for a new set ? +We will need new cartridges for all of the office printers ? That will be a large order , probably about two or three cases . The office supply store we usually go through might not have that many in stock . +You can double check with the housekeeping department , but I am pretty sure all of the machines will need new cartridges . Last time when we made our order to the supplier , the quantity was also especially high . They are used to receiving such bulk orders from us . As long as we give them a heads up a couple days in advance , they can usually fill the order . +OK , I will make a few calls and run our order by housekeeping first to make sure . Is there anything else we need to order while I am at it ? +I think the only thing is toner . Try to see if they can deliver it before the end of business day tomorrow . We should really try to do better about waiting until the last minute to fill orders that are usually made on a monthly basis . Anyhow , see what you can do to expedite the order this time . +OK , will do . +I want a pair of sports shoes , Adidas . +What size do you want ? +I wear size 40 . +How about this one ? It's the latest design . +Oh , I like the color . +May I help you ? +I'm looking for a pair of shoes . +What size do you wear ? These shoes are on sale . +I wear size 36.This pair looks nice.Can I try them on ? +Of course , yes.They look nice.And they're not expensive . +How much are they ? +They are $ 168 . +I'll take them . +A friend of mine has been taking an online career planning course these days . He told me the other day he has learned a lot from it . He recommended me to subscribe to it . What do you say ? +I think it is good if we know enough about career planning . We will make wiser choices . What else did he tell you about it ? +Well , just something in general , like several key steps in planning career and how to set specific and tenable goals . +Sounds practical ! To be honest , sometimes I feel puzzled about my future career . I am not sure if this job suits me the best though I work very hard on it and enjoy being a hard worker . I have always wanted to try something else and learn some new skills . +Making a decision to start over is not an easy thing to do . It seems that you need this course more than I do . I love my current job . If I take this course , I hope to learn some tricks to get myself more organized at work . If they can give suggestions about how to boost work relationships , that will be great . I need these to improve my current work performance . +Ok , then we can sign up for it together . +Who's it knocking at the door ? +I think it's the postman.Will you go and open the door ? +All right . I'll get it . +Good evening . Welcome to Cherry's . Do you have a reservation ? +No , we don't . +How many of you , please ? +Six , including two kids . +I'm afraid all the big tables are taken . +Hi , I think I was supposed to call for my test results today . +If you go onto our website and put in your password , you can access your test results . +Are you saying that there weren ’ t any problems ? +I will always have you come in for a discussion if there is a major problem . +Will I be able to read the results on the website and understand them ? +Yes , if you go there , you can see what each test is about . +How will I know what the numbers mean ? +You can see your results and how they compare to the normal range . +How can I see test results from tests I have taken before ? +We put all of your test results up in the same place . Just check the dates for what you need . +This is our rock-bottom price , Mr . Lee . +If that's the case . there's not much point in further discussion . We might as well call the whole deal off . +What I mean is that we'll never be able to come down to your price . The gap is too great . +I think it unwise for either of us to be inflexible . How about meeting each other halfway ? +What's your proposal ? +Your unit price is 100 dollars higher than we want . Well , I suggest we meet each other halfway . +Do you mean a further reduction of 50 dollars in our price ? That's impossible ! +What would you suggest ? +The best we can do is another 30 dollars off . That's definitely the lowest we can go . +That still leaves a gap of 20 dollars . Let's meet each other half-away again and split the difference ; I think this is a price we can both be satisfied with . +OK . We can meet halfway again . +Hello . +Good morning , Ruth . Did I wake you up ? +No , I was just about to get up . What's up , Carl ? +Listen , I am calling to confirm what you said yesterday . Are we supposed to meet at the Chinatown terminal of the Avenue B bus or D bus ? +B as in boy . You should get off at the last stop in Chinatown . +Oh , you mean Canal Street ? +That's the wrong direction . Canal Street is on the other side of Chinatown . +Oh , I get it . When did we decide to meet ? +At 10,45 . Is Ann coming along ? +I cannot get hold of her yet . +See you around , Carl . +See you later . +Has your company been affected much by government legislation ? +Yes , we have . We've had to clean up our production process a lot to meet tough government standards . +What about your use of raw materials ? +Well , we've had to cut down the amount of solvents we use and we ’ re not allowed to use lead in our products any more . +What happens if you exceed the limits ? +We try not to because you might have to pay quite a heavy fine . +Have you got any better ? +That's the best there is . +Okay , I'll take one . +That'll be $ 200 , sir . +Good morning , sir . Sorry to disturb you . May I make up the room now ? +Yes , please . We're on our way out , so we put the ' make up ' sign on . Could you bring us some towels and hangers ? +No problem , sir . Everything will be ready when you come back . +What are the factors that have great impact on the perspective of this corporation ? +External factors . I think the main external factors are political , economic , social and technological factors . +What are the internal factors that influence the company ? +The internal factors are composed of human resources , team spirit , innovation spirit and coordination between different departments , etc . +I don ’ t want you to be worried , but our son has some bad habits now . He says painful words everyday . +What words ? Can you tell me ? +He says kick mommy , beat mommy , don ’ t want mommy , very quickly if I do something that he doesn ’ t like . You know , if I wash his face or change his clothes , things like that . +Honey , I don ’ t know what to tell you . Of course Tony is a young child . But do not underestimate his ability to learn and reason . +Yes , but sometimes he is just not reasonable . +I suggest you treat him with patience , affection , and respect . If he needs to do something , like go to bed , or be washed , etc . , please guide or help him to get it done , but lead him with gentleness . +It ’ s easy to say , but I will try . +Motivate Tony to cooperate by rewarding his good behavior . Do not emphasize punishment for bad moods , etc . Do not threaten him with punishment if he resists the actions you desire . +I know my parents sometimes threaten to punish him . But this doesn ’ t work , instead he picks up another bad habit . +How can I help you ? +Yes , I am James Mason from Anderson and Associates . I would like to see Mr . Smith . +Do you have an appointment ? +Yes , he knows I'm coming . Our meeting is set for 2 o'clock . +I wonder if Mr . Smith forgot your meeting . I am afraid he left this office this morning and is not expected back until after 4 pm . Let me find out if he made arrangements for someone else to meet with you in his place . Will you please have a seat ? +Sure . +Yes , Mr . Mason , I just checked with our office manager , Ms . Terry , she said Mr . Smith briefed her on your project . She is just finishing up a meeting now . She could be with your shortly . Would you like me to show you around while you are waiting ? +That would be very nice . Thank you . +Right this way , Mr . Mason . We can start with our front office . When Ms . Terry is ready , you may take the elevator at the front to the 6th floor . There is a conference room already prepared +did you watch the Oscars on Sunday night ? +no , but I heard about that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt didn't attend . +yes , that was surprising . I heard that they got into a fight and then decided not to go . +they must be the most famous celebrity couple in Hollywood . +they're also one of the richest couples . They have so many money and they can buy almost anything they want . +I also heard that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made an appearance at the Oscars . +did either one of them win an Oscar this year ? +I think Tom might have been nominated for one of his films , but I don't think he won anything . +Tom Cruise may be handsome , but I think he's a bit crazy , don't you ? +yes , his marriage to Katie is actually quite scandalous . +I still think that they only got married to get more publicity for their movies and themselves . +people in show biz can have such an easy life ; I don't know why they have to make it so complicated . +I would never want to be a celebrity because the paparazzi would also be after you . +that's true . I guess it would be difficult to have people taking pictures of you everywhere you go . +thank goodness we're not rich and famous ! +being famous , I can do without , but I wouldn't mind being rich . +Next , please . +Could I purchase Euro with RIB here ? I have to stay here for months . +Yes , the rate for cash purchases is listed on the electronica screen , so you have seen the rate of exchange . +Yes , I have known of it . +How much do you like to exchange ? +20,000 RIB . +In what denominations ? +It doesn't matter , but leave me some small changes , that will be convenient in daily life . +Right , I will exchange for you now . Please sign the exchange form giving the name and telephone . +Well , could you change them too ? The dollars , I want to change them into Swiss francs . +OK , wait for a moment . Well , I am sorry , but we are not authorized to exchange coins because it is low and we do not have enough foreign coins . In this case , you'd better change 2,000 $ to Swiss francs . +It doesn't matter . +Please sign the memo on the bottom and keep your money and memo . +Thanks a lot . Good-bye . +Why are you holding me in this jail cell ? +We'd like to hear your account of the events of last night . +I have to go up to London for a couple of days next week . Would you like to come ? +That would be nice . How are you getting there ? +Well , I prefer to go on the train , but I suppose you want me to take the car . +Oh , I much prefer to go by car , then we don't need to get to the station with our luggage and ... +And I've got to drive . You know I'm not fond of that . I found it much more relaxing to sit in the train . +Which is more expensive ? +But very much quicker . But I know we'll never agree on this subject . You prefer the car . I prefer the train . +Now , have you ever thought of going by express bus ? +I want to take a look at that home with the Open House flags out front . +What a wonderful neighborhood ! Can you find that house on our Open House list ? +Yes , that is one of the houses that we have on our list . +They always make the front yards look so great for Open Houses . Let ’ s see what the inside looks like . +I am going to go sign my name in the registry to let the listing agent know that we were here . +Signing the registry is a good idea . I think I want to see the kitchen next . +I really appreciate that the listing agent provided water on such a hot day . +I need to pick up a flyer with the information about the house on it . +Is the current asking price listed on the flyer ? +The asking price has recently gone down to two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars . +Hello . This is Mrs . Wilson . I'd like to buy a new car . Could you offer me a new type of the car , please ? +Oh , Madam , buy what ? +A new car . And I've got a small family , two children , and I haven't got a lot of money and ... +Oh , oh , Madam , Madam , I'm afraid you have the wrong number . +Isn't this the car store ? +No . It's Mike's Sporting Goods . +Oh , sorry . Do you know the number for a car store , then ? +No . I don't . I suggest you look in the phone book . +I'm sorry to have bothered you . +No problem . +How about going to the cinema tonight ? +That's great . What's on tonight ? +I am not sure about the name of the film , but I know it's a romantic one . +Romantic ? I am afraid I like thrillers better . +Don't you think it's too bloody ? +On the contrary , very exciting . +Hello , I scheduled an appointment with Dr . Smith , and I can ’ t make it on that day . +What day was your appointment on ? +My appointment was on Monday . +What time had you chosen ? +It was for 10 +I am looking at your appointment right now . What day would you prefer ? +I would prefer next Thursday . +What time would be best for you ? +I want to come in at 2 +I am writing you down for that time . We look forward to seeing you . +Office Supplies , Inc . Robert speaking , may I help you ? +Hi , Robert . This is Janet Reese calling from American Advertising . We placed an order with you about a week ago . +Yes , Ms . Reese . I remember , you spoke with me . Is there a problem ? +Well , it still hasn ’ t gotten here , and my boss is pretty angry about it . +Ms Anderson , my name is Mike . I am Division Chief of ABC Company . Welcome to Toronto . +Thank you . It's a pleasure to meet you . +A pleasure meeting you as well , the flowers are for you . +Thank you , they are beautiful . +I am really interested in buying this television . +That's so great ! +How much are you selling it for ? +This t . v is only $ 2500 . +You can't be serious . +That's how much this t . v costs . +That's too expensive for me . +This television is of very high quality . +You can't go down on the price . +By how much ? +I'll buy it for $ 2000 . +I'm sorry , but the price is final . +Did you pack this bag yourself ? Has it been out of your possession at any time before checking-in ? +Yes , I packed it myself , and it hasn ’ t been out of my possession . +Are you bringing in any plants or animal products ? +No . +Our sniffer dog seems to disagree . Do you mind if we look in your suitcase ? +Not at all . Go right ahead . +What ’ s this sir ? +It ’ s traditional Chinese Medicine . I mix it with hot water like tea . Sorry . I forgot about it . +What are these red things sir ? +Oh no ! I forgot about those too ! Those are Chinese sausages for my Aunt Lily . +I ’ m sorry sir , but you can ’ t take any of this into the country . We will also have to check your carry-on . Please step this way . Don ’ t ’ be nervous ; we ’ ll just look through it briefly and then +Hello.Is Bob there , please ? +Hold on a second please . I'm sorry . He has gone out . +Oh.This is Paul.When will he be back ? +He will be back at about seven o'clock . +Can I leave a message please ? +Yes , certainly . +Please tell him I'll call him at the office tomorrow afternoon . +All right . I'll tell him when he comes back . +Thank you very much . +Hey , son , are you insured ? +Not yet , but I'm thinking of it . Have you bought one , Dad ? +I took out a life insurance policy and made your mother the beneficiary . +Can you tell me why you want to buy it ? +I am a fireman and it is a dangerous job . I have to consider your mother's life . +Oh , I see . Do you advise me to buy one ? +You have children now . What if something , God forbid , happens to you ? +That's true . Well , how much do you think I should get ? +A $ 100 000 policy shouldn't be too expensive . Here , call my agent . He'll give you a good deal . +Excuse me , Mr . Emory ? Mr . Macmillan , would like to know if you have the completed schedule for next week ? +Yes , I do , Susan . Just a moment . Here it is . +Thank you , sir . Sorry to trouble you . +Not at all , Susan . Just tell him to leave it with my secretary when he ’ s finished with it +Where are you going , Jane ? +I'm going to the hospital to see Susan . +I saw her yesterday.She was a little better . +Must I catch a number 7 bus to get there ? +No , you needn't . A number 13 bus will also take you to the hospital . +Number 13 buses run much more frequently , don't they ? +Yes . I caught a number 7 bus yesterday , and they said I had taken a wrong bus . +Thank you , Henry .

Good manner and style of conversation can let other feel your good self-cultivation . Good gestures and mien can let other feel very comfortable . +How can I have the good external expressions ? +Don ’ t worry about that .

The exits have been sealed and the doors will remain locked in until the local authorities arrive . Thank you for using our bank . Have a nice day . +Joe , how are you doing ? +I am great ! How about you , Mary ? How are you ? +I am doing great ! Thank you for asking , Joe . +I was wondering if you want to go see a movie with me tonight ? +I need to stay home tonight and finish my term paper . +OK . What about going to the movies on Friday night ? +What were you planning on seeing ? +I was thinking about seeing that one about the rapist serial killer . +How about “ The Secret Life of Bees ” ? +That's a chick flick ! +What do you think we need to do to get our new branch office running well ? +First , I'd make sure that we have a good , local , corporate lawyer . He or she will know all the local laws and regulations . +That ’ s very important . A friend recommended a good law firm to me . We ’ ll need someone to hire staff . +I think that we should send one of our HR people to do that . I don ’ t think we should use an agency , because they won ’ t be familiar with the type of people we employ . Have we decide on the location of +Yes . We have . We chose the location in the northeast of the city , not too far from the airport and on the edge of the CBD . +Why didn ’ t we choose an office in the CBD ? +The offices there were too expensive . Have we negotiated any contracts yet ? +Yes . We ’ Ve signed two contracts with companies that we already do work for in other countries . We hope to sign another three this month . +When will the branch office open ? +Hopefully next month . Everything is a little rushed . We should be able to set up our branch office and expand our business quickly . +Has and advertising campaign been prepared ? +Yes , it has . We ’ re going to target the business community through business magazines . +I made plenty of business contract on my last visit and through the embassy .

Here you are . +Here is your valuable . Is that right ? +Yes , thank you . +did you know that abortion is still illegal in many states in the USA ? +why ? I thought Americans were supposed to be more open than that . +well , for many religious people , they believe that people who abort their babies are murderers . +do you think most people in America believe that abortion is wrong ? +no , I think it's mostly the older generation who are against abortions . +it's no wonder there are so many teenage pregnancies in America . +religious people blame it on pre-marital sex , not on abortion being illegal . +what do you think about abortion ? +I personally would never want to have one , but I think that since a pregnancy can affect a woman's entire life , she should have the right to decide for herself . +do you think the fathers should have some kind of say in the matter ? +I know this is going to sound sexist , but I don't think that men should have to give their approval to the mothers of their children . +why not ? It's their children , too . +that may be true , but when a woman gets pregnant , it changes her life completely . Men can still carry on with their lives after the birth exactly as they did beforehand . +that might be true , but I think men should have some kind of say in the matter . +Come to think of it , you should get out your English books and catch up on your reading assignments . +But I don't have any reading assignments . +Then review for your test . You'll do even better . And maybe reading will help you get to sleep . +Aw , Mom-you're such a drag . +You say that now , Lily , but you'll thank me later . I'm your mom , and mother knows best . +I'm just calling to see if you have made any decision about the position . +Sorry , we haven't made the decision at all . +Do you have any idea when you might arrive at a decision ? +We will let you know probably next Monday . I hope to give you a positive reply . +I'm willing to wait until you have come to a decision . +How did you find your apartment ? +You can check on the bulletin boards at school for local housing . +What if I need a roommate ? +There are websites that can hook you up with a roommate . +How much do apartments cost around here ? +It depends on what you want . Do you want a one - or two-bedroom apartment ? +I just need a one-bedroom apartment . +That will probably cost you around twelve hundred dollars a month . +Would you come with me to look at apartments ? +I would be happy to look at apartments with you . +Have you heard what happened ? +Heard what ? +Deborah already had her baby . +I didn't know that . +I thought you knew . +I honestly didn't know . +The baby was 8 pounds 6 ounces . +That's good to hear . +Will you go and visit them ? +Of course I will . +I just wanted to give you the good news . +Thanks for letting me know . +How silly of you to jump out of the window ! +But that was the first thing that came into my mind when I heard the shout earthquake ! +Why not use staircases ? The terror was not so violent at that time . +That would be too late . +Maybe the situation is too urgent . +Yes , I think I should have jumped in any case . +I need to stop eating such unhealthy foods . +I know what you mean . I've started eating better myself . +What foods do you eat now ? +I tend to stick to fruits , vegetables , and chicken . +Those are the only things you eat ? +That's basically what I eat . +Why aren't you eating anything else ? +Well , fruits and vegetables are very healthy . +And the chicken ? +It's really healthy to eat when you bake it . +I guess that does sound a lot healthier . +Good morning !

Advertising is a constantly evolving trade and creativity is an important fact to success . If I want to make in marking in advertising industry , I can ’ t stop studying and creating . +The air conditioning is not working ! We need to call a handyman before we start to fry in here ! +Dan is on top of that . I think they are also getting the handyman to fix the bathroom toilet that keeps clogging up . +That would be convenient . They might as well ask him to fix the electrical wiring . The circuit breakers keep going out all the time . It ’ s really annoying ! +Yeah you are right . This office is falling apart ! Frank told me the other day that the gutters outside were clogged and that ’ s why the parking lot was flooded . +I know ! I was in ankle deep water trying to get to my car that day ! The handyman definitely has his work cut out for him . +Do you have anything to do after this ? +No , I don't . +Shall we drop in somewhere for a couple of drinks ? +That sounds like a good idea . +I know a very interesting place . +Oh , do you ?

He's done this before , hasn't he ? +Yeah , a number of times . +What's he trying to pull anyway . +I don't know . But this is definitely the last straw . +Maybe you should start seeing someone else . +You said it . Ok , let's go in , Sandy . +I can't believe how hot it is . +It's not even noon yet . +That means it will get hotter . +I am dying from the heat . +Turn on the air conditioner . +It doesn't work . +What happened ? +I don't know . +Did you call the repairman ? +Of course . +When is he coming ? +He's busy . He said next week . +Please help yourself to whatever you like , don't be shy . +Yes , thank you . I've already been helping myself . +This dish taste terrific . Would you like to try a little ? It is a little hot , but very good . +I like hot food , especially Sichuan cuisine . +Would you like another beer ? +I'll have another cup of beer insist . I know I don't like to drink alone , especially there are someone sitting there next to me . +Come on , it's the weekend . Let's taste and enjoy this meal . Cheers ! +Bottom's up , and you're right .

Ask me a question now . +Who invented the electric light bulb ? +That's easy . It was invented by Edison . +Correct . Now for a harder question . Who will be the first men on Mars ? +I can't answer that . But I think Mars will be visited by men before theed of this century . +Ask me a question now . +All right . What is the nearest planet to the sun ? +That's easy . It's .. er . Venus . NO . Pluto . No . Wait a minute . It's Anthe tip of my tongue .

It was worth the wait ! +Thank you . Today I'm writing a kind of poem called a Chinese couplet . +What does it say ? +This is an especially famous one . It says " May the passing days bring you health and longevity . May this season of renewal find you basked in riches . " +That's very nice . Is it for sale ? +No . I never sell my artwork . +Really ? Then what do you do with it ? +I give it away . Here , this one is for you . +Wow ! Really ? Are you sure ?

The most important thing was we loved each other . +It seldom rains this summer . +Yeah , some places are very short of water . +Because of pollution and other things , our environment has become worse and worse . +You see , This time I traveled to the West . When I looked out of the windows of the rain , all the lands that I could see are as dry as a bone . +It is serious . +I'm looking forward to summer vacation . +Me too . +My granny is such a kind-hearted person . She is willing to help . +She does have a heart of gold . +You can say that again . +Look at this newspaper article about this famous local medium . It says that she is really gifted and so popular now , that she is booked solid with appointments for the next twelve months ! +You don't really believe in all that hocus pocus mumbo jumbo , do you ? +Well , I have had many friends that went to a psychic and got their palms read and most of the things the psychic told her came true ! +Of course it does ! They tell you general and obvious things like that you will be successful or have a big house . I think most of the times they are just scam artists . +Well , historically it is a practice that many cultures share . Reading the tarot cards , in the east they would even read tea leaves ! I even heard that there are people that make you smoke a cigar , and then read your ashes . +All superstitious nonsense ! I would still like to go to one and see what he or she has to say , just for kicks . +Can I help you , sir ? +Yes , I'd like a book about law . +Would you tell me the name of the book and the author ? +Uh , the Origin of Law .

This is lucky ! +I didn't know you liked bird-watching . +I don't really . I just like wildlife , and you don't get to see too much of it in the city . This place is full of it . +Hide me , Yi-jun !

Everyone admires that you have a good wife . +Oh , no . When we were poor , we often tried our best to make ends meet . It was a hard time . +But now you are rich . +And we have some squabbles on some boring things . +This is ordinary marriage life . +How about you and Tom ? What time is your wedding ? +Don ’ t be kidding , OK ? +What ’ s the matter ? So angry . I ’ m just playing a joke with you . +Because I have given him up as a bad job . Our relation has been over . +Margaret , do you think I should enroll in the science course ? +Yes , I think so , If you want to graduated this year , you've got to take a science course . +Right , I figure since you are doing premedical , you know about the very courses . +Well , I have to take biology , chemistry , maps and physics.what you need is a good introductory course for non-science majors . +Yes , I really weak in maps , I did poorly in high school . +That's a problem . +What are you listening to ?

What about you ? +To be honest , I think classical music is too complicated for me . +What kind of music do you prefer then ? +I like pop music . Do you ? +Not really . I don't think pop music has much depth . +I see what you mean . I think that's way I like it so much . +How long have you been in to pop music , then ? +I've always been into it . Have you always liked classical music ? +Not really . When I was little , we didn't really listen to music at all . +So , how did you become interested in it ? +Well , when I was about 10 years old , I started playing the piano . I think that's how it all started . +Do you still play piano ? +Yes , it's one of my hobbies . +Hi Paul . How are you , friend . +Not good . My cousin is driving me up the wall . +How so ? +He stays up untill all hours of the night , and he never lifts a finger to help . +Have you talk to him about it ? +Not yet , but I have to soon . He's eating me out of house and home . I caught him reading the fridge again last night +Ahahah , Maybe that will help you lose weight . +This is no laughing matter , Nick . +Sorry Paul . I couldn't help it . So why doesn't he give you a hand ? +He watch the tob too much . Now really I don't know . But I can't handle this much longer . +Well , talk to him , and let me know what happens , OK ? +You're from New York , aren't you ? +Yes , that's right . +What do you suggest I should see in New York ? +Well , how about the Museum of Modern Art ? +No , I don't like museums . They're boring . +Why don't you go to see the Empire State Building ? +Ah ! That sounds interesting . +What's your favorite book ? +It's Gone With the Wind . +Why do you like it best ? +I enjoy the various characters and the plot . +Well . I like the Thom Birds best . +Is it very interesting ? +Sure . I like the writer's language , too . +If I have a chance , I'll enjoy the book . +Would you like to go to the bookshop with me ? +That's a good idea . Let's go ! +John , my father isn't there at all . Are you kidding ? +Cool , fellow , what's the date today , buddy ? +It's ... oh it's the 1st April , April Fool's Day . +You forgot all of about it , didn't you ? +I ’ m pretty sure that Jim will turn out to be a good lawyer . +How can you be so sure ? +He knows a lot about law and he ’ s eloquent , too . +Could you tell me if you have ever taken a class from Dr . Miller ? +Yes . Are you going to be taking a class from him ? +Yes , but I have never taken his class before . +He is very interesting and challenging . Is that what you are looking for ? +Yes , that's what I need . +He is really clear on what you need to learn to get a good grade . Are you willing to study hard ? +Yes , I guess so . +What I really liked about him is that he was an understanding and friendly teacher . Do you enjoy that in a teacher ? +Yes , I had a teacher like that before . +Did you know that he has 20 years teaching experience ? +No , I didn't , but that could be a good thing . +Well , take a look at everything and figure out what is best for you . Good luck ! +Honey , what's wrong with you ? +I'm not feeling well . I'm very nervous . +Take it easy . We are going to have our own baby . You should be happy . +Yeah , I know . +The doctors and the nurses will help you . And I will be waiting for you right here , praying for you and our baby . +Thank you , dear . I feel better now . +The weather is terrible . +Yeah . It's been raining a lot these days . +I have been watching a lot of videos at home because of the constant rain . +Have you heard when it's supposed to get better ? +I saw the weather report , and it's going to rain for the next eight days . +That sucks so much . What are we going to do ? +I'm getting pretty bored . We should do something despite the rain . +I'm with you . What do you have in mind ? +I haven't been to the Mall in a long time . Let's go there . +That sounds good . They have a movie theatre there , so if we get bored , we can watch a movie . +Great . I'll stop by your place now . +Ok . Don't forget to bring your umbrella . The rain can start up again anytime . +Come in , come in , what can I do for you ? +Professor Donald , are you giving your advanced geology course again next semester ? +Yes , I am applying on it . +I wonder if I could enroll in it . I know it is a graduate course and I ' m a junior , but ... +Aren't you a bit young ? I have a lot of qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up . +I know , but geology of the American west is my major interest and I have done a large reading in the field . +Well , if you think you are ready , I'll let you enroll . +Oh , thanks , professor Donald . This is really very nice of you . +... so , I said , let ’ s take a break.And since that night , I ’ Ve been waiting for him to call , but I still haven ’ t heard from him . You don ’ t think he ’ s seeing someone else , do you ? +Come on , don ’ t be so dramatic ! I ’ m sure everything is going to work out just fine . +You think so ? Oh , no ! How can he do this to me ? I ’ m sure he ’ s cheating on me ! Why else wouldn ’ t he call ? +But , you two are on a break . Theoretically he can do whatever he likes . +He ’ s the love of my life ! I ’ Ve really messed this up . +Come on , hon . Pull yourself together . It ’ s going to be alright . +But I ... I still love him ! And it ’ s all my fault ! I can ’ t believe how immature and selfish I was being . I mean , he is a firefighter , it ’ s not like he can just leave someone in a burning building and meet me for dinner . I ’ Ve totally messed this up ! +You know what , Veronica , I think you should make the first step . I ’ m sure he ’ ll forgive you ... +No , this is not gonna happen ! I ... I ’ Ve ruined everything ... +do you hear something ? +what's wrong , Jerry ? You look so upset . +to be honest , I was just dumped . +oh , I'm sorry to hear that . You can go on a holiday to cheer you up . +no , thanks . I'm not in the mood for traveling . +come on . A trip will do you good .

It's about one and a half hours . +what's there to see ? +there is a large canyon , vast grasslands , ancient forests and mountain lakes . +oh , sounds nice . +yes , the scenery there is breathtaking . I have some pictures at home . You can come over and take a look if you like . +ok . Then I can make up my mind . +Did you have any kind of punishment in your life and studies ? +Yes , just once . +What was the reason ? +I once played truant when I was in college because I intended to organize a donation activity for the disaster-hit areas in Sichuan . +Do you want to hang out tomorrow ? +Oh , I can't . I have a date ! +Really ? Wow with who ? +This girl I've been chatting with for the past couple of months . She's really cool and she's driving over here this weekend . +Wait a minute , you mean you met her online ? +Yeah ! I signed up for a website called match @ . com and it is great ! You fill in all your details and preferences , like if you are a smoker or if you have any pets . Then you find people that have similar characteristics and you can email them or chat . +That is kind of weird ! What if she is a psycho or something like that ? +It's the same as meeting people anywhere and dating them ! I am just tired of going to bars or being set up for dates by my friends ! I think this is a really cool alternative , especially if you are a bit shy . +I guess it does seem logical . I'll have to check it out ! +Well , I'm afraid I must be going now . I have no idea it was so late . +Stay for dinner with us . +I'm afraid I can't . I have a dinner party at seven tonight . You see , I am going to England the day after tomorrow . +Well , I won't keep you then . It was very nice of you to come to see me . +It has been a pleasure . Goodbye . +Goodbye . Thank you again for coming . +Honey , do you have a second ? +Sure ! Are you okay ? You seem a bit worried.What ’ s on your mind ? +We need to talk . +Okay ... +I ’ Ve been thinking , and well , I think we need to start seeing other people . +What ? Why ? I mean , we ’ Ve had our ups and downs , and we have the occasional disagreement , but we ’ re happy together , aren ’ t we ? +That ’ s just it , I ’ m not happy anymore , Tim . It ’ s not you , it ’ s me . I know that I can be hard to deal with , and you are a great guy ! You are the type of guy that any woman would kill for ! +So , what are you saying ? You ’ re breaking up with me because I ’ m perfect ? +Tim , you are too good for me . You deserve someone who can make you smile and make you happy the way that you made me happy . Oh , I could say that I ’ ll be all you need , but that would be a lie . I know I ’ d only hurt you , I know I ’ d only make you cry . +Baby , come on . Don ’ t do this to me ! Whatever it is , we can work it out . Just give me another chance ! I know that we can get through this , but we gotta stick together ! Don ’ t leave me . +I can ’ t , Tim . I hope someday you can find some way to understand I ’ m only doing this for you . I don ’ t really wanna go but , deep in my heart I know this is the kindest thing to do . +Laura ... +Here are your keys . I ’ ll send my sister to pick up the rest of my things next week . I ’ m sorry , Tim . I wish you all the best , and I hope that one day we can meet again . I ’ ll always love you . Goodbye . +Oh , my God . I can't take it any more . +What's wrong , honey ? Take it easy . +I am tired of doing that boring work . I just repeat doing counting everyday . It's so terrible . +Me too . But I think we can do something else for a change . +You know I work with my professional knowledge not passion . Sometimes I don't know what the meaning of working is ? +But you did a good job . You always perform the best in our company . +Yes , that's in the past . Maybe I need to go to my psychologist for help . +Perhaps you've just tired and you need a vacation . +I was full of ambitions before . But now I have no aim for my career . +Maybe we should keep on studying to enrich our knowledge and make our life exciting . +That sounds interesting . But I don't know how to do that . +How about a training course ? +A training course ? That must be costly . +But it's worth it . Maybe it can get us into a good mood and also helps us learn something to use for the future . +OK , let's have a try . +OK . +Have you seen the new James Bond movie ? +Oh , yes . You ? +Yes . What did you think of it ? +I thought it was better than the others-I really liked it . What did you think of it ? +Yes , I liked it , too . It was exciting , but not over the top . Do you know what I mean ? +Mmm . That's what I thought too . I really liked the car chase , and the opening credit sequence was very exciting . And I always enjoy watching Pierce Brosnan . +Oh , yes . He's brilliant . Did you like the title song ? +Not as much as last time , actually . What's the name of the American actor who was in the supporting role ? +Hum , Edward Norton , or something like that . Did you like him ? +Yes . He was excellent . They worked well together , don't you think ? +I don't know . I think the woman was better . She provided a good love interest . Lucky James Bond ! +Yes ! +My friend Jean is very beautiful . +What's her figure ? +Perfect , and I like her charming eyes too . +What's the color of her eyes ? +Dark blue . +Where are you going ? +I'm going to buy a CD . +Why not listen to music online ? +Then I will have to pay quite a lot to listen to music on line , isn't it ? +You can audition music on line , and you can audition it off line after downloading it , so you needn't pay for it . +I have downloaded one , but it still can't be listened . +In order to listen to music , you must have the necessary software . +Can you recommend some to me ? +Certainly . Realplayer is a good . +Can I download it ? +Yes , but you need install it after downloading so that you can use it . +I'll try it tonight . +What were you and Richard talking about earlier ? It looked intense . +Yeah , Richard said something to me that I didn't appreciate . +Oh , no . I know how insensitive he can be . What has he done now ? +He asked me how long it took me to learn English . +But , you were born and raised in California ! +Yeah , but I get that sometimes . It doesn't matter how many generations my family has lived in the U . S . , we'll always be foreigners in their eyes . +What a racist ! How can you stand working with the guy ? +You know , Richard isn't such a bad guy . He made the comment out of ignorance , not malice . +So , what did you say when he asked you how long it took you to learn English ? +I told him 28 years . And , he knows I'm 28 years old since I just celebrated my birthday last week . He was puzzled for a minute , and then he got it . +Are you sure he really got the message ? +Yeah , I'm pretty sure since I then asked him how long it took him to learn English . +That's hilarious ! What did he say ? +He said , ' 36 years , ' and we both laughed about it . He apologized and now , it's all good . +I'm glad . I bet he won't make that mistake again . +Could you tell me the origin of the Dragon-Boat Festival ? +Yes , it's a way to commemorate a great ancient romantic poet , and the race is a symbol of the attempt to save him . +I see.Did they succeed in the end ? +Of course not.He drowned . +What can I do for you today ? +I would like to use a computer . +Do you have your library card ? +I sure do . +There is a wait for the computers . +That ’ s all right . +You need to print your name on this list . +Okay . Now what ? +Once a computer is available , I will let you know . +How am I supposed to log on to the computer ? +All you do is type in the number on the back of your card . +That ’ s it ? Thank you very much . +how are you doing , Christopher ? +to be honest , I'm really fed up with work at the moment . I need a break ! +are you doing anything this weekend ? +I have to work on Saturday all day ! I really hate my job ! +are you available on Sunday ? +yes , that's my only day off until Thursday . +ok , well , my friends and I are planning on going to the beach on Sunday . We tend to leave around noon whenever we go anywhere , so you could still sleep in . Do you want to come with us ? +that'd be fantastic ! Which beach are you going to ? +it's a quiet beach just about an hour outside of the city . +what should I bring with me ? +we've got plenty of inflatables , but if you want to sit on a chair , you'll have to bring your own sunlounger . +I can just use my beach towel . I love lazing around in the sun . +do you like surfing ? +I've actually never tired . Do you have a surfboard ? +we've got a few . I can teach you how to surf on Sunday . It'll be fun ! +I can't wait ! It sounds like we're going to have a great time . How much money should I bring ? +you'll just need roughly $ 10 for food and gas money . My friend is driving , so we usually all chip in a few dollars for gas money . +ok , where and when should I meet you ? +we'll pick you up at your place at noon . Be there or be square ! +I'm not really accustomed to the style of the new boss . +It'll take us all some time to get used to the change . +I give up ! I simply can't learn French ! +Why do you say that ? I think you're making a lot of progress . +No , I'm not . I try and try and I still can't speak it very well . +Learning any language takes a lot of effort.But don't give up . Why don't we practise those dialogues together ? +Good idea . That might help . +He said I have a big nose . I wonder what that means . +You are interested in other people ’ s business , aren ’ t you ? +Does he mean I am inquisitive or I ’ m noisy ? +Yes . +Excuse me , I'd like to ask you a few questions about the city . +OK , please . +My wife wants to take the children to go shopping , where is the best place to go ? +I would recommend the mall , it's about 20 minutes , drive to the south in a taxi . It has a wide range of shops and restaurants . +Thank you . Also , we'd like to do some sightseeing while we're in town . Can you recommend some local attractions ? +How old are your children ? +I have a 10 - year-old boy and a 6 - year-old girl . +I would recommend a day at the zoo . It's fun for all the family . There is also a water park just outside the city if you would like a day trip . +It sounds marvelous . Thank you for your help . +Boy , it looks like everyone in your family is here , from young to old . +Easter's a good day for reunions . The family goes to church together . +And after church they come here for lunch ? +Yup , a big potluck buffet . And then-notice there are no children around ? +Yeah , what's up with that ? +The kids wait in the house while the grownups hide these . Hide away , Yi-jun ! +Hi ! I'm happy you could make it . +Well , I've been looking forward to seeing you . +What can I get you ? +I'd love a gin and tonic . +Could you please help me to check out the book ? +Sure , what's the author's name , please . +I can't remember that clearly . It probably be Charles ... +Charles Dickens ? +No , no , no . I'm not interested in literature . +OK , do you know the title of the book ? +Oh , sorry . I'm always absent-minded . I remember that I've put a note in my pocket . +So , show me the note please . +I can't find it now . +Oh , such bad luck , sir . Can you please name the category of the book ? +Let me see . It's not fiction . It's biography . +OK , I'll search it for you . A moment , please . +Thanks . +How do you decide what grade we get ? +I look at many things , attendance , quizzes , and tests . +What is the most important factor ? +Obviously I look for improvement as we go along , but I would like you to do your best from the beginning . +How can we keep track of our grades ? +The final and midterm are 40 percent of your grade ; homework , attendance , and quizzes total 60 percent . +What if we can't get to school ? +You can only miss one class without penalty . +If we have a major problem , will you let us know ? +I will be letting you know during the year if you have a major problem . +We're thinking about going to America . +Have you thought about the cost ? +There is that . +I believe it'll be very expensive . +May I help you with something ? +I would like to return some books . +I ’ ll take them . +Here you go . +These books were due two weeks ago . +Yeah . I totally forgot they were due . +You will need to pay late fees on these books . +How much are the late fees ? +The fee is 25 cents every day . +I have to pay 25 cents a day ? +And that ’ s for each book that is late . +That shouldn ’ t be a problem . +This is such a beautiful day ! Great for sailing ! +It sure is ! The water looks so nice ! Anchor the boat for a little while . I ’ m going to take a dip . +Why are you doggy-paddling ? I taught you how to swim ! Do your breast stroke ! +I get too tired ! I ’ ll just backstroke , it ’ s easier ! +Try kicking your legs more . That ’ s good . Don ’ t go out too far ! +It ’ s fine . Jump in ! +Kathy ! Get back here ! I see a shark ! +Ahahah ! ! ! Help me ! Help ! Bring the boat closer ! The shark is coming straight towards me ! +It ’ s right under you ! Kathy ! ! ! +what was your wedding ceremony like , Abigail ? +my husband and I got married in a registry office with just two friends there as witnesses . But then we had three parties to celebrate . +three parties ? That's quite a lot . That must have been expensive ! +well , since my husband and I are from two different countries , and we live in a third country , we decided to have one in each country . It wasn't actually that expensive . +were your parents upset that they weren't there to see you get married ? +I would have liked them to be there , but they couldn ’ t afford to fly out to see us , and we couldn't afford to fly out to see them , so they understood . +did your husband's family get to meet your family ? +my husband's parents flew out to meet my family when we got married in my hometown , so that was great . Some people spend ridiculous amounts of money on extravagant wedding receptions , but we agreed t +that makes sense . Did you go on a honeymoon ? +we waited until our one-year anniversary to go on our honeymoon to Africa . +you really didn't have a very traditional wedding , did you ? +not at all , but we don ’ t have a very traditional marriage either , so it suited us perfectly ! +Oh , hi , Jessica , are you going to see this movie too ? +I'd love to , the movies are smash hit . +Then let's go in . +I can't . I'm waiting for Paul , but he's late . +I'll say the movie's starting in the minute . +I know . I wonder what's keeping him . +Looks like he won't show up . He's done this before , hasn't he ? +Yeah , a number of times . +What's he trying to pull anyway . +I don't know . But this is definitely the last straw . +Maybe you should start seeing someone else . +You said it . Ok , let's go in , Sandy . +So , you ’ re applying for a B2 visa , where is your final destination and what ’ s the purpose of your trip to the United States ? +I ’ m going to visit my brother . he ’ s just had a baby . He lives in Minneapolis . +And how long do you you plan to remain in the United States ? +I ’ ll be here for approximately three weeks . See , here ’ s my return ticket for the twenty-sixth of March . +And , who is sponsoring your trip ? +My brother , here , this is an invitation letter from him . I will stay with him and his family in their home . +Alright , tell me about the ties you have to your home country . +Well , I own a house . actually , I ’ m leaving my dog there with my neighbors . I have a car at home , and oh , my job ! I ’ m employed by Tornal as an engineer . Actually , I only have three weeks ’ vacation , so I have to go back to work at the end of March . +And what evidence do you have that you are financially independent ? +Well , I do have assets in my country . like I said , I own a house , and see , here ’ s a bank statement showing my investments , and my bank balance . +I ’ m sorry , sir , we cannot grant you a B2 visa at this time , instead , you are granted a resident visa ! Congratulations , you are the millionth person to apply for a visa ! You win ! Congratulations ! +Good afternoon , madam . How can I help you ? +Well , I am a bit out of shape . I'm thinking about getting some exercises to keep fit . +Oh , that's good news for us . +So what do you provide ? +First of all , we'll design a custom-made work-out plan according to your habits . +How can you get that done ? +Well , we give each of our customers a personal trainer who is qualified . And he will give you a fitness assessment and then come up with the work-out plan for your needs . +What else ? +Since everyone is different , your personal trainer will find you a suitable type of exercise equipment and teach you all the techniques to help you achieve your fitness level and goal . +Sounds pretty good . What about the charge ? +That depends . We offer membership for one month , half a year and one year . +Maybe one month . Just have a try first . Not too tough at the beginning . +Wise decision . You'll find it's totally worth it . +Do you watch a lot of TV ? +Not really . I could take it or leave it . +Not me . I have to have my TV and watch whatever comes on . +How can you do that ? +Hi . What's your name ? +My name is Jung Min . What's your name ? +My name is Jessica . It's nice to meet you . +Yes . It's nice to meet you too . Are you a new student too ? +No . I'm a sophomore . I take it you are a new student ? +Yeah . It's pretty exciting to be here . +Have fun while it lasts . The excitement wears off real quick . Especially after you see how much homework you get . Where are you from ? +I'm from Korea . My parents wanted me to go to an American university , so I came here . +I have never been to Korea . I've been to Japan before , but never Korea . +Why were you in Japan ? +My father thought it would be a good experience to take a vacation to a different country . He's so into learning about different cultures . +That's pretty cool . +I thought it would have been more fun if I went without my parents . +Well , if you ever want to visit Korea , I would be happy to show you around . +Thanks for the offer . I'll keep that in mind . Oh , the professor is coming . We'll talk more after class . +Ok . +Guess who I saw just now ? +Who ? +John Smith , the escaped criminal . +That bad egg , who took the low road since he was a boy . +I think I must report to the cops . +Ok . +What do you think of this one ? +Eh , so so . +And this one ? Too flashy ? +Nah , not too flashy . +Hug ! And this sweater from my aunt ? Isn ’ t it hideous ? +I guess . +Are you even listening ? I ’ m trying to have a conversation with you . +And I ’ m trying to watch the game , but you ’ re yapping on about your new clothes ! +Well I have to decide which gifts to keep and which to exchange for better ones when I go to the Boxing Day sales this afternoon ! +Well could you do me the favor of making this quick ? It ’ s the third quarter and you ’ Ve been blabbering on since the first ! +Oh , your precious game . You watch the same game every year , and each year your beloved hometown team loses by at least three goals ! +Oh no you didn ’ t . You didn ’ t just insult the Sals-bury Seals , did you ? Why don ’ t you just . just go and return all of those stupid clothes and not come back until the sales are over ? +I might just ! Enjoy your stupid game ! +Hello . Nice to see you again . I heard you went into hospital for a few days to undergo surgery . I hope everything ’ s OK . +Yes , fine . I had something wrong with my stomach . I won ’ t go into detail , but it wasn ’ t serious . +I really dislike going to a doctor or to a hospital . +I think most people are a little nervous about it . I was really very , very nervous just before I had the operation , but the anaesthetist gave me an anaesthetic and the next thing I remember was waking up after the operation . +It must have really hurt afterwards . +Well , the nurse game me plenty of painkillers , but it did feel uncomfortable . I wasn ’ t permitted to eat anything for 48 hours . That was the worse thing . +I bet you were ready for a thick juicy steak when you got out of hospital . +I certainly was ! However , the doctor gave me a list of food I couldn ’ t eat for another 72 hours , and steak was on the list ! +Is there any pain now ? +No , not at all . I stopped taking painkillers after a couple of days . +Did they take good care of you in the hospital ? +Oh , yes . The nurse were very kind , though they were strict about what I could drink . In the end , I just drank water and nothing else . Everyone was very professional and I actually enjoyed some aspects of my stay . +How was the party ? +I had a fantastic time . +Hi , Monica , how is everything going ? +Everything goes well , but I am thinking about quitting my current job . +Why ? You ’ re not satisfied anymore ? +I just sense . But I cannot grow anymore . My boss is not really supporting me . I am interested in some positions in other JV companies , but I need to do some more in-depth research before I send my application letters out . +That is important . Doing research on a company you are interested in will definitely help your application . +Certainly , it is very nice talking with you . But I really have to go now . Catch you later . +Ok , good luck to you . +Henry married Rose only after her father's money , didn't he ? +Yeah . But he soon feel regretted for it . +But he seems to be very happy with Rose . +He is more nice than wise . +Hello , is that Cathy speaking ? +Yes , is that you , Allen ? +Yes , how are you doing ? +Not bad . +Say I've got two tickets for the concert this evening.Would you like to come with me ? +Sure.Thank you very much . +Then I ' ll pick you up at six thirty.OK ? +Ok , see you . +See you . +The weather has been terrible this week . +Yeah , I'm worried . If it's like this tomorrow , our big outdoor party will have to be canceled . +Let's hope it clears up . +Is that pesky lady coming to the office again ? +Yeah , I'm afraid so . +If there's one thing that bugs me , it's her critical attitude . +Yes , it is annoying . +Hi , Mr . Smith . what's new ? +Nothing particular . But , ... +What's the matter ? +I , I don't know how to explain it to you . +Go ahead . It's nothing serious . We are good friends , aren't we ? +Yes , of course . But I'm afraid I can't tell you . +How do you do ? +How do you do ? Nice to meet you , Ms . Smith . I ’ m Jack Stevens from the Marketing Department . Here is my card . +It ’ s nice to meet you , Mr . Stevens . +Please call me Jack . Have a seat , please . +Thank you . +Thanks for your hospitality . +You're welcome . +I'm terribly sorry to have caused you so much trouble . +That's all right . +Hey , what's new ? +Not much . Just sitting here eating some Chinese food . Is that the paper ? Why don't you open it and tell me my horoscope ? +Ok , wait a minute ... let's see . I'm a Taurus , and it says , Mars is in the third house , and is soon to eclipse Venus . I don't know what that means , but then it says , Your charm and drive will win others over to your way of thinking . Remember to be positive . Sounds good to me . +What about Gemini ? What's the prediction ? +Since Mercury has crossed paths with Jupiter , your fortunes are falling . Bad luck will follow you today , and you will lose that which you value . Be careful . +That sounds bad ! I'm really worried , what should I do ? Maybe I should go home and stay in the rest of the day . +But we have a date tonight ! You can't stay at home because of a stupid horoscope . +Lily , can you take part in our picnic this weekend ? +That sounds great . Where are you going ? +I think we can go to the river , go around and have supper . +What should I bring ? +Nothing . Just wear comfortable clothes and good shoes for walking . We'll bring everything . +What do you think of doctor Thomson ? +I feel confident of his ability to cure my daughter's disease . +How can you be so sure ? +I can tell form the way he spoke to us . +Never believe his words . +Should we ask Jason to play ? He's always watching movies on HBO . +I guess we should invite him . I just hope he doesn't start talking about Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger again . +Oh , come on ! The game is better with three people . Anyway , if we don't ask him to play , he'll be mad . +Yeah , you're right . We'll never hear the end of it . +What do you think about violence in movies ? +Personally , I'm not for it . I feel it's bad for kids to watch . +But kids like watching things like that . It's just for fun , would't you say ? +If you ask me , I have to disagree . Something shouldn't be watched for fun . +Are you free tomorrow night ? +Yes , I am . +Shall we have dinner together ? +Do you have a special restaurant in mind ? +Yes , I do . I know a place that has excellent food . +OK . I'll be happy to join you . +If only our company prescribe flex time . +The board has been considering introducing flex time . +Good news . Ah , what if be even better if alternative work place is provided . +Then our entire job could be done by telecommuting . +Brian , do you know how to speak English ? +Yes . +Where did you learn ? +I learned in college . +You speak really well . +Thank you . +How long have you been in the U . S . ? +3 weeks . +Is your wife with you ? +Yes , she just got here yesterday . +Have you been to California before ? +No . I've never been there . +Have you ever been to Las Vegas ? +Yes . I went there once on a business trip . +How are the children doing at sport ? +I ’ m very pleased with their performances . Timmy can cover the 100 meters in 12 seconds . That ’ s very fast for a kid his age . +He ’ s not very good at the long jump though , is he ? +He ’ s not bad . He can jump a distance of over four meters . I think he just prefers running to jumping . Jimmy ’ s very good at the high jump . He can jump over two meters . Again , that ’ s fine for someone his age . +Two meters ? That means that the high jump bar is above his head ! Are any of them good at long-distance running ? +The longest race we run is the 1500 meters . A few of the boys and one girls can do it in less than five minutes . +How are they at swimming ? +They ’ re ok . I ask them to swim 500 meters each day . That ’ s 20 lengths of the swimming pool . They ’ re not very fast , but that ’ s ok . I just want them to build their strength up and keep in shape . +Kate is very good at diving from a height of 10 meters . +I ’ d be afraid to jump from that height ! +I think that these kinds haven ’ t learnt to be afraid yet . She started diving from a lower height , but she soon wanted to go higher . +It seems that they really enjoy trying to go faster , higher and further . +Hi , Mary . I haven't seen you in ages ! I heard that you and Daniel are getting married on August 8th , the opening day of the 2008 Olympic Games . Is it true ? +Yes , it is . We've been dating for over 7 years . We have decided to get married on a special day and we think August 8th , 2008 is a red-letter day . +Good for you ! It sounds like you've done a lot of planning in a very short time . +Yes , there is a lot of to be taken care of---wedding photos , wedding dress , catering , transport , hotel , etc ... +Is everything ready now ? +Almost . The only thing that isn't ready is the hotel . As a lot of people have chosen that day to get married , it is hard to find a hotel that isn't too expensive . +Have you tried The Peninsula Palace Beijing ? My wedding reception was held there and they did an excellent job . +Yes , we called , but it is booked up . The only choice is the Regent Beijing but we haven't made up our minds yet . +It's an excellent hotel . A friend of mine had her wedding reception there and said it was perfect , though very expensive . +That's why we want to have a look at other hotels . We don ’ t want to spend too much on an extravagant wedding reception . +I guess you're right . I can help you ask other hotels . I am sure there are probably some available . +Thank you . +My pleasure . +Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend ? +Sorry , I thought you knew . +But you should have told me you were in love with her . +Didn't I ? +You know you didn't . +Well , I'm telling you now . +Yes , but you might have told me before . +I didn't think you'd be interested . +You can't be serious.How dare you not tell me you were going to marry her ? +Sorry , I didn't think it mattered . +Oh , you men ! You're all the same . +Professor , I've handed in my paper . Did you read it ? +Yes . You've done a good job . But there's one thing . You should narrow down your topic . +What about water pollution instead of pollution ? +How ’ s it going ? +I ’ m fine . Thank you . +Do you need anything ? +I need you to help me . +What can I do for you ? +I am looking for an article in a newspaper . +Did you check the periodicals ? +I didn ’ t even bother to think of that . +I ’ ll show you where to find your article . +I get lost in this library . +It ’ s right this way . +Thanks a lot for your help . +How about eating out for a drink with me tonight . +Tonight ? I'm afraid I can't . I've promised Mark to go to the gym . Can we make it tomorrow ? +No problem . Let's say 6:30 p . m . at the Royal Restaurant , OK ? +All right . See you tomorrow night . +Hi , Helen ! how is it going ? +I'm very busy these days . It seems I can never finish my work . +Well , take it easy ! Don't let it get on top of you . +I'll try . I'm under a lot of pressure right now . +Why don't you take a few days off ? +I can't . I am really behind of my work . +Can you speak Japanese ? +Yes , I can , but not very well . +Where did you learn it ? +At school . And I'm still learning it now . +How long have you been learning it ? +About three years . +Can you speak any other languages ? +I'm afraid not . +Good afternoon , Johnson . +Good afternoon , Mary . How's business ? +Not bad , thanks . +I'm too tired now . I've already worked for 12 hours overtime ! +God ! Don't you think they should get you an assistant ? +Yes , they were supposed to , but so far nobody's turned up , and I have to do the work alone . This is the first break I've had all day . +They're really running you into the ground . Why don't you ask for some time off ? You could take a long weekend and have a good rest . +I'm afraid I can't before I finish this project . +You'd better pay more attention to your health . +I will , thanks for your concern . +You're welcome . +It is too bad today . +What happened ? +My som was lost . I told him to stand rooted to the spot when I went shopping , but he ignored it . +How did you find him at last ? +It was the police wo helped me to do that . +It must have taught you a lesson this time . +I want to give our kitchen the works . +Why ? I think it ’ s convenient and good . +No . The decoration has been out-of-date . My friends have a whole kitchen now . It ’ s modern . +Why should we run after the fashion ? +I am not running after the fashion . I just want a very beautiful and clean kitchen . +Rock music really leaves me cold . What about you ? +I'm crazy about it.It makes me very excited . +Then tell me what's good about it . +It can't be expressed by words . +What's wrong with Debbie today ? She seems upset about something . +I have no idea . Maybe she had a fight with her husband . +Look , here is a very special business card from an illustrator . Every time I go through my book of business cards , I will notice it . It is an eye-catching one . +Wow , fantastic . I like the font and color for his name . It is creative yet personal . +Yes , it is a bold design . People will believe he can make an illustration as an impressive as a business card . It just stands out from those plain and standard ones used by government people or other big private and public organizations . +I agree . Business cards are great tools for promoting personal business . It won ’ t take much time to design an amazing card , but it can make a big difference among the crowd . And you ’ ll always notice it from your collection . For they have outspoken colors , own design and the sizes are not always according the mainstream business card . I wish to have one like this . But for sure our company has its own corporate design which all employees have to follow . +Morning , Peter . Nice suit ! A new one ? +Oh , yes . My wife bought it for me yesterday . Hmm , you look nice in that yellow dress . Yellow suits you really well . +Maybe . Several people have suggested that I get more yellow clothes . They say the color suits me because I have a fair complexion . +That's right . You know , pink , green and black could also be good for you . Actually , I think that all colors are okay for a person with your complexion . It's just that different colors can give people different impressions . For example , black could make you look mature , while pink could make you look young and energetic . +Thank you for your compliments . It sounds like you're a clothing expert . +Well , compared with my wife , I'm just a beginner . +Did you set your clock forward for daylight savings time ? +What ? Why do we have to do that ? +Well , at the start of the spring we usually have more daylight in the mornings and less in the afternoon . This is basically due to our position on the planet and the rotation of the earth . In any case , to take better advantage of the daylight available , we compensate by moving our clocks forward one hour . +I see . That ’ s convenient ! I never understood things like this , such as GMT . I never know what time zone we are in or when to change my clock ! +That just stands for Greenwich Mean Time . Here in California , we are in Pacific Standard Time , that is eight time zones west of Greenwich . Remember when we were in Beijing ? Well , then we were in China Standard Time , and that ’ s eight time zones east of Greenwich ! +That ’ s why it was so weird traveling from Beijing to LA ! Because of the huge time difference , even though we left Beijing at noon and flew for more than eight hours , we still arrived in LA the same day at noon ! It ’ s like we went back in time ! +I would like to watch the Oscars on tv tonight . How about you ? +Yes , I ‘ d love to . it ’ s interesting to see who is considered the best in their field and which film are thought to be particularly good . +I like watching it for the fashion . I like to see what the ladies are wearing . Of course , the men nearly always just wear the traditional tuxedo . +Sometimes the men wear flamboyant colours . Which films do you think will win awards this year ? +I ‘ m really not sure . Usually just one or two films look set to sweep the awards ceremony , but this year there are several contenders . +You ’ re right . This year should be much more exciting than usual . What ’ s you favourite award category ? +You might think this strange , but I like the category for best foreign language film . +It ’ s nice to see foreign language films making a little impact on Hollywood . I like the best actor and actress . +How many cleaning ladies does your company hire ? +We have two cleaning ladies . But both of them have received little education . +Most cleaning ladies are illiterate . But some of them do a very nice job . +But I actually dislike another lady . She is more capable and seems to have ideas of her own . But the trouble is she is a backseat driver with some of us . She would tell you what to do and where to put things . +How do you celebrate national day in your country ? +There are parades in many cities and people fly the national flags from almost every public building . +What kinds of parades are there ? +The parades are usually military ones , but sometimes there are procession of people carrying flags and singing patriotic songs . What do you do on national day in your country ? +We don ’ t have a national day . +Really ? That ’ s unusual . +I guess it is . Most countries have on , but we don ’ t . +Actually , even though we have parades , most people just use the national day holiday to visit family or go shopping . In the evening , many people watch special TV shows which celebrate national day . +Hi Melissa , are you going home this weekend ? +No , not this weekend . I have too much work to do . +Where do your parents live ? +My father lives in Washington DC . +How about your mother ? +My mother died two years ago . +Oh , I am sorry to hear that . Is your father still working ? +No , he's retired . +Do you have any family here ? +Yes , two of my cousins live here and my aunt and uncle live about 30 miles from here . +Do you have any brothers or sisters ? +Yes , I have two brothers who live in New York and a sister who lives in Boston . +Do you see them a lot ? +Not as much as I'd like to . Usually just on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas . +Hey , how was the show ? +Not great . It's a kind of boring . +Really ? I heard it was supposed to be great . +Yes , me too . But I'm disappointed . +What happened , John ? +Nothing . +Why do you look unhappy ? +I ’ m rather disappointed at not being able to see my best friend off . +Oh , cheer up . He ’ ll understand you . +I hope so . +You know that ? Joan has got the scholarship . +Really ? +But I think Henry is a backroom boy.He always helps her with her study . +You're right . +Hi , Tina , I ’ Ve got good news . I have successfully passed the first two rounds of interview with ABC Company . They informed me to go to the final round next Monday . It looks very promising . +That is awesome . Congratulation ! I know you can make it . +Thanks . Let ’ s go for a celebration this evening . Are you free ? +Yes . Wait for me at the cafe down my office building . See 5PM , ok ? +No problem . See you ! +See you ! +Do you like ethnic food ? +I do ! My favorites are Mexican , Thai , and Indian . +Really ? Have you ever tried Moroccan ? +I can't say that I have . What are the basic ingredients ? +I don't know . A friend of mine said I should try it . +Do you know where a Moroccan restaurant is ? +As a matter of fact , he gave me this address . +Let's go there for lunch ! I'm up for an adventure ! +Nicole , your Fettucini is very ... unique . +But not as good as your mother's , right ? +Actually , it's better ... +What ? Are you kidding ? +No . It was the only dish she wasn't good at . So we could use you as the new head chef ... +Oh , Uncle Giovanni . That's wonderful ! Thank you ! Thank you ! +OK , OK . Get back to work . There's someone waiting for you in the kitchen ... +How many people are there in your family ? +Five.My father , mother , brother , sister-in-law and me . +Is your brother older or younger than you ? +He is five years older than me , He got married last Sunday.My brother and my sister-in-law are the same age . +Hello , Tom . Where are you heading for ? +I am going to a movie theater . You know there is a new action film produced by Hollywood . A thriller , really . +Another terror film ? There is too much terror and violence in the films . Do you like seeing such a picture ? +I don't really like seeing bloody frames , but I appreciate the lifelike frames simulated with the highly skillful special effects . +Did you go to the concert last weekend ? +No , I didn't . And you ? Was it good ? +Yes . I did . I enjoyed it a lot.There was a folk singer , a violinist and a pianist . +How much was the ticket ? +I only paid two dollars for mine . +Mary and Tom are breaking up . +It's unbelievable ! They are only married for one month . Then who is at fault ? +Mary said she couldn't put up with Tom , for he fell in love with another woman . +Do you think they'll become reconciled ? +No , I don't think so . She said she would rather be single than cope with an unhappy marriage . +What a shame ! Their marriage is really a mistake . +have you ever been invited to a Chinese feast ? +sure . Beijingers are distinguished for their warmth and hospitality . +as far as you could see , is dining at a Chinese table a distinct experience ? To what extent does it differ from that in your homeland ? +to begin with , I have to use chopsticks . +but you look quite proficient in using them now . +certainly . After all , I've been here for two years . It's not much uphill work for a foreigner to get used to Chinese dinner utensils . Though , I do feel hazy about how to behave appropriately at a Ch +yes , table etiquette . There are a multitude of rules that foreigners might never know until they were told . Some practices even appear somewhat awkward or rude to Westerners , while they are the norm i +anything strang about that ? +maybe you should have placed them horizontally over your bowl or plate . They resemble two incense sticks used at sacrifices . It's very inauspicious , and might enrage all present . +oh , sorry ! There's a long story even with a mere pair of sticks . +It really makes my blood boil when this sort of thing happens . I even want to wring his neck . +Don't be so angry . It's passed anyway . +I can't forget it . +You'd better cool yourself down first . +Let's program your courses . Since you have had English literature , you should take American literature and American prose and fiction.You transcript indicate that your English background is strong , so I don't think you have any problem with it . +How many credits for each course ? +Three , you also should take two three-credit-course in education department . +Thank you , sir , I'm sure I will . +I hate to go outside . +Me too . +Why do you hate to go outside ? +I meet too many jerks . +I agree . +This city is full of jerks . +Rude people are everywhere . +But what can you do ? +You can yell at them . +And they will yell back at you . +Yelling doesn't do any good . +No . The best thing to do is just stay home . +I had to announce his innocence in court today , but it left a nasty taste in my mouth . +You mean you suspect him . +I ’ m not sure . I ’ ll try to prove my feeling . +I hope I can do something for you . +Actually I have a passion for Chinese literature . +You do ? +Yeah , those classics from the great writers . +But I find Japanese ones better . +Jack wonders whether Linda likes him or not . +Why doesn't he ask her ? +He is too scared to ask her . +He's a chicken guy . +Good morning . +Good morning . +What does the paper say ? +Nothing much — the same old stuff . A lot of bad news as usual . +Well , what ’ s the weather report ? +Sunny and mild today , cloudy and rainy tomorrow . +Did they find those bank robbers ? +Not yet . They were holding two men in Ohio , but they let them go . They weren ’ t the criminals after all . +What about the sports page ? What were the scores of last night ’ s games ? +Here ’ s the paper ; you can read them yourself . +I would wondering if you like to stay here for a few days . +It really depends on when and how long +Until next weekend . that ’ s ok . +They ’ ll do the operation for you this Friday . +But Saturday is my birthday . +I think it ’ s important to do now . We can have a birthday party for you when you come out of the hospital . +But it won ’ t be on my birthday . +But your health is more important . Believe me ! +I hate computer games . +Why ? They are fine . +Because they are too violent . Some of them are even disgusting . +Indeed there are bad games . But many of them are good . +If boys grow up with computer games , they will surely become bad . +Come on . Things are not so bad . Boys can learn to use the computer through games . +Are you free this weekend , Miss Rose ? +Yes , I am . What's up ? +Then would you please go to a dance party with me ? +With pleasure . I suppose you dance often . +Oh , no . As a matter of fact , I haven't danced for a long time . +But I am told that you dance wonderfully well . +Thanks for flattering me . I think you dance a lot , right ? +No . Just occasionally . +What's your favorite dance ? +It's hard to say , but I do love the foxtrot and waltz . +How about rock'n'roll ? +To tell you the truth , I don't like it . It's too noisy . +And the tango ? +Oh , it's really beautiful , but I just can't do it well . +Don't be so modest . I'm sure you can do it very well . Then I'll meet you at six . Is that at all right ? +OK . +Great ! I'm your lucky fellow then . +You are an outgoing person , quite easy to talk with . +Yes , my friends like to get along with me well . +Do you have many friends ? +Yes , I like to make new friends . +What do you usually do with them ? +We like to get together , chat and enjoy beautiful music . +Doris , Helen Mall is having a big sale this weekend . Do you wanna go ? +Don't feel like it . I'm broke . +Well , we can still do some window shopping , can we ? +Just look around ? Nah , that ’ s boring . +I'll go by myself then . +I feel like going for a drink , it's been a long day . +Great idea ! Peter , I could use the drink . +How about the new bar across the road ? +Sounds good . The food there is fantastic too . +I agree , I had lunch there last week . +Excellent ! That sounds like a plan . +Hello , are you Chinese ? +No , I'm Korean . Where are you from ? +I'm from America . Are you settling in all right ? +I've already found a flat and it's quite comfortable . What about you ? +I live in my uncle's house . He came here ten years ago . +What do you think of the local accent here ? Has it been causing you any problems ? +I think it's just a matter of getting used to it . +I can't agree more . +Why don't you watch where you're going ? +Me ? You're the one who pulled out in front of me ! +There was plenty of room for me to pull out.You didn't have to stay in the lane you were in . +Hey , listen . I had every right to stay in the lane I was in.You were supposed to wait until I passed to pull out.And anyhow , you didn't give me any time to change lanes.All of a sudden--BANG--there you are right in front of me . +I think my arm is broken . +Sorry about your arm , but it serves you right . You need to learn how to drive . You're lucky you didn't get killed . And I'm lucky to be alive too . +Listen , let's just wait until the police get here.Then we can decide whose fault this accident was . +Fine with me . I know the laws of the road . I'm not worried . +I have a cell phone in my car . Now it's probably on the floor on the passenger side.Why don't you get it for me , and then I can call the police ? +Alright . +It doesn't work . It looks like it's broken . I need to get to a hospital . You should drive me there . +Oh , yeah ? It's better if we make a police report first . Then you can go to the hospital . +Damn it ! I'm injured here . We could wait all day for the police . +Well , you'll just have to wait . I'm not going to move my car until the police arrive . I'll go into one of those houses over there and use their phone . Don't worry . You'll get to the hospital in time . +It really hurts . +Yes , maybe it does.But if you're going to drive like you did just now , you will have to get used to a little physical pain . You know what I mean ? +To hell with you . The accident was your fault . +I'm afraid it wasn't . And when the police get here , you will also see that it wasn't . But enough of this bickering . I'm going to go find a phone.Don ' t move that arm while I'm gone . Alright ? +To hell with you . +Bill , do you know if the cafeteria around the corner's open today ? +Yes . They were open this morning when I came to work . They must've finished remodeling . Why do you want to know ? +Well , I thought that maybe we could go there for lunch today . That is , if you haven't promised to go with someone else . +That'd be wonderful , Peter . But I hope you're in a better mood than you were this morning . +I'm sorry I was such a grouch . It must've been the weather . When it rains I get depressed . +Forget it . I'll see you at 11:30 am . +The stepmother was very wicked . She couldn't stand a happy smile on the boy's face . +And ? +And she did her best to pull out the thorn in her flesh and the boy lost whatever made him happy . +Poor child ! +Sorry . I didn't mean to be late . Can I come in ? +What's your excuse this time ? +Have I used the one that my sister is sick ? +Yes , twice last week . +Are you sure ? I thought I said it was my mother . +I don't think so . But it could've been . +Well . You can trust me this time . My sister is definitely sick . I'm just coming from the hospital . They say she might even die . +I don't buy your story . Try not to have any more sick relatives this week , all right ? +I'll do my best . +Just try to be a little more punctual in the future . +I'm working on it . Really ! +Hi , Becky , what's up ? +Not much , except that my mother-in-law is driving me up the wall . +What's the problem ? +She loves to nit-pick and criticizes everything that I do . I can never do anything right when she ' s around . +For example ? +Well , last week I invited her over to dinner . My husband and I had no problem with the food , but if you listened to her , then it would seem like I fed her old meat and rotten vegetables . There's just nothing can please her . +No , I can't see that happening . I know you're a good cook and nothing like that would ever happen . +It's not just that . She also criticizes how we raise the kids . +My mother-in-law used to do the same thing to us . If it wasn't disciplining them enough , then we were disciplining them too much . She also complained about the food we fed them , the schools we sent them too , and everything else under the sun . +Ella , it's been such a long week . I'm ready to go out and party . Hey , let's go out for a night on the town . +Gosh , you took all the word right out of my mouth . Let's go out and get crazy tonight . +Let's go to the new club on West Street . +Sure , but what do I wear ? +You can wear that pretty red dress . +Hi , Alice , what are you doing this sunday ? +Nothing really , why , what ' s up ? +If you are free , maybe you would like to go to a small party and having for my birthday party . It will be fun , you will get to know lots of people . +Sounds great , I'd very much like to accept your invitation , thanks , when ? +Around six pm . +Do you need help setting up or anything ? I don't mind . I like to do that kind of thing . It's fun and I have a good eye for decorating . +No . thank you . I can handle it , but thanks for the offer . +Ok , I will see you then . +Great , have a good day , thanks again for the offer . +Hello.this is Susan . +Hello , I ’ m Mark . I ’ m just wondering if you are free this weekend +Yes , I think So . +Good . I was thinking that I ’ d like to invite you to watch a movie . I can meet you at the cinema gate . +What ’ s the time ? +Six thirty , tonight . +Oh , I ’ m sorry I can ’ t because I have to do some housework.You can ask Jenny to go with you +All right.Maybe next time I can go with you.Bye ! +Good bye ! +What is life ? +Don't ask such a question . You know it has no certain answer . Everyone knows it is in his heart . +Then do you think that life is arranged by something above us . +Maybe , the whirligig of time , who knows ? +Right . +David , I ’ m going to China . +Really ? How did you get the chance ? +You know . I took part in the Chinese contest . I was the best and they gave me this reward . I don ’ t have to pay for my trip . +Congratulations . How lucky you are ! +Thank you . I ’ m leaving tomorrow morning . +I ’ m sure you ’ ll enjoy the trip . China is such a beautiful country . +I ’ m sure I will . +Have a nice journey , Lily . +Thank you , David . +Did you watch the final last night ? My favorite singer won ! +Oh , I love him too . He not only sings well but also shows perseverance when he encounters difficulties in the contest . +Yeah , he got booted after his initial performance in the audition , but he did not give up . He then tried at another two auditions . +He had barely survived the third audition and finally got a chance to advance in the contest . Fortunately , in the third audition , he has won popularity among the audience . And that's when I started to notice him . +Me too . +Before he made the top three , I was so nervous . I just fear that he might be knocked out . +Yeah , there're so many excellent candidates out there . Who knows which one will make it to the final ? +Absolutely . That's why when he entered the final , I was so excited . +He really did a great job in the finale , especially in the PK round . He performed so well that the majority of the audience cast their votes for him . +And the host announced that he won it all ! +Come in , come in ! +Hi , Gary , what happened ? I was waiting for you at the theater . Why didn ’ t you meet me there ? +I thought we were supposed to meet here . +Don ’ t you know our movie starts at seven ? And we were going to meet at the theater at five to seven . Then it doesn ’ t make sense to meet at the apartment . +I ’ m sorry . We must have misunderstood each other . +Why don ’ t you try to be clearer about your intentions ? +You ’ re right . I am sorry . Let ’ s go and watch the movie . +It ’ s okay . I don ’ t want to go now . We ’ Ve already missed ten minutes of the movie . I don ’ t want to see a movie without watching the beginning . +Excuse me , i am a new student here . Could you tell me where the English Department is ? +It is in that brand new , tall building over there . On the 9th floor . +Where is the school cafeteria ? +It is the basement of that red building in front of the tower with big bells . +Where is the Computer Center ? +The Computer Center is on the first floor of the library . +Where is the library ? +The library is next to the Adminstration Building . The Adminstration Building is over there near the school ’ s main entrance . There are school maps for free in the lobby of the Admin . +Thank you . I will go get one . +Sure . Glad to be of service . By the way , my name is Mike Sullivan . You will see me around a lot . I am running for President of the Student Government . +Well , hi ! My name is Eve Markowski . I am glad to meet you . With your friendly smile and helpful attitude . I am sure you will win . +Thanks you for the encouragement . +You are welcome . I ’ d better go . Goodbye . +Have a good day . Bye-Bye ! +How about another beer ? +No , thanks . I've had more than enough.In fact , I must be running along . +Stay around for a while.The party is warming up . +I'm afraid I have to leave . I have to be up early tomorrow . +We have another traditional holiday-the Dragon Boat Festival . +When is it ? +It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month . +Could you tell me the origin of the two festivals ? +OK . The Dragon Boat Festival is a way to commemorate a great ancient poet named Quyuan . On that day , people will hold a boat race as a symbol of the attempt to save him who threw himself into the river . +Why do people eat rice cakes on that day ? +In order to prevent the fish from eating the poet's body . +It sounds so moving . +Nice to see you , Patrick . +Bob ! I hear your team won the match . +Yeah . All of us tried our best . +Congratulations ! +I think you're being a little naive . +If I want , I can protect myself by paying through an escrow account , which holds the money until I receive the item . +That proves my point ! Protect yourself or you'll get burned . +eBay also offers free insurance . You can get a refund of up to $ 200 if you're not satisfied with your purchase . +$ 200 ? If they get a hold of your credit card number , you're going to be out a lot more than $ 200 ! I had a friend who ... +Your knowledge of English is really surprising . +Oh , it's nothing to speak of . +No , seriously . I am impressed . +Thank you . I appreciate the compliment . +Hello ? +Hey Tina . What are you doing ? +I was just watching TV . What's going on with you ? +I just watched a movie and I'm scared . +What did you watch ? +I saw the Sixth Sense . I didn't know it was going to be so scary . +I remember that . It was a great movie . But it was definitely scary . +If you're not busy , do you want to come over ? I'm afraid to be alone . +Sure . I can come over . What should we do ? +How about if we watch a comedy . I need something to get my mind off the frightening images I have from the Sixth Sense . +Ok . I'll get ready and leave . I'll see you in about 20 minutes . +Hurry , ok . It's dark out . +Don't worry , nothings going to happen . I'll be there real soon . +Ok . See you soon . +are you a blogger ? +sure I am . I've been writing a blog for almost three years . +oh , it seems that I'm the only one who never blogs . When did you get started ? +I began blogging when I first went to the US for my graduate strides . +what do you usually write about ? +at first , I'll write about my life there . Like interesting things on the campus , travel stories , special English words that I come across . Sometimes , I'll post my pictures on my blog so my family an +that's interesting . How often do you write a blog ? +it's random . If there happen to be a lot of things going on , I may add several new entries in a week , and if I've got nothing to share , I may leave my blog untouched for weeks . +got it . Are you still updating your blog ? +sure , since I came back from the US , I've been keeping the habit of blogging , simply to share my personal insights on any topic I like . +good for you . I know many people just leave their blogs alone after the first few months . +Have you found a new job yet ? +No , not yet . I ’ m still looking . I ’ Ve been doing some work through a temp-agency though . +What kind of work ? +I ’ m temping at a pharmaceutic company . +What do you do there ? +Mostly office work - filing and so on . +How long is the assignment ? +Till the end of the month . +This is just for you . Cheers ! Bottoms up . +En ... it tastes good . I appreciate what you have done for me . +I'm sorry , ladies . Mr . Smith's viewing is over . It ended an hour ago . +But we just drove across town . Can't we just go in to see him one last ... +I'm afraid not . But at tomorrow's funeral , the family requested an open casket service . +This is all too fast . He's my best friend , and now he's gone . +I'm sorry . I know it must have come as a great shock . +The viewing was for saying goodbye , and I didn't even get that . +I can ’ t bear it . The driver is too bad . +He must be green . It ’ s lucky that we will get off soon . +I prefer potatoes to eggplants . +I feel eggplants are more nutritious . +But as a matter of fact , potatoes taste better . +Oh , that's how you see it . +That way they look longer . +Now what are you doing ? +Putting on mascara . +Nasty . You'd better not rub your eyes . +I won't . +And you'd better not cry or you'll have black streaks running down your face . +Let's have some lunch ; do you know of a great restaurant somewhere ? +Yes , I'm hungry . What types of food sound good ? +Maybe just a quick sandwich , salad , or something . +I have a great idea of where you might like to go . +Can we walk there ? +It's on the second floor . May I join you ? +Of course ! Let's go . +Let's hurry . I'm starving ! +What are you going to do next year ? +I want to go traveling . +Do you have any where in mind ? +Yes , I've been thinking about Florida . +Like a cat on hot bricks , as you might say . I don ’ t believe you are listening at all . +Sorry , I just worried about him . You know , he should be here an hour ago . +Don ’ t worry him , he has been grown up and I think he can take himself very well . +But he still does not come back . +Maybe he is on the way home now . +How long have you been in England ? +For almost two years . +Almost two years ? Your English is very good . +Thank you . But there's still a lot for me to learn . +The Johnson are on their way back.You remember them , don't you ? +Johnson ? I can't place them . +We met them in Bermuda last May . +They've completely slipped my mind . +The couple with the dogs , think back . +No , I don't recall a thing about them . +Well , I've invited them for brunch . +Hmm , I must be getting absent-minded . +His grandfather is the richest person in the area . +What a miser ! He cycles to school every day . +His grandfather's money is not his . +I can't understand him anyway . +What did he say ? +He said he would tell us the secret of becoming a successful man . +It ’ s too good to be true ! If I were there , I would ask him if he himself was a successful man . +Nobody would drive him up a wall by asking him such a question , you know . +I wonder what he looks like . Oh , I can't wait to see him ! His email said he'd be wearing a white hat.oh , there he is . +hey , Isabelle ... +Logan ! Why on earth are you hiding here ? White hat ! Come on ! Don't tell me you're the guy ! It can't be true . +yes , I am the guy ... +what a bummer ! You set me up ? +let me explain . I didn't mean to hurt you ... +We are just going round the corner for a drink . Won't you join us ? +Well , I'd like to , but I am not sure I have time . +Oh , come on ! Just a quick one ! +All right , just a quick one . +Excuse me Miao Li . Could you tell me who Jackie Chan is ? +Certainly . Jackie Chan is a very famous movie star in Hong Kong . His Chinese name is Cheng Long . +Ha , I know Cheng Long a lot , he has made 40 films since 1976 . And at that time he was promoted as the new Bruce Lee . But I'm not familiar with his English name . +OK . Then tell me what else you know . +Some movie stars measure their worth by how many millions of dollars they make . Do you know how Jackie Chan measures his worth ? +He measures his worth by how many of his bones he has fractured while executing his film , incredible stunts . By the way , can you count the breaks ? +Sure . His skull , his eyes , his nose , three times , his jaw , his shoul-der , is chest , two fingers , a knee . As he said ' Everything from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet ! ' +Indeed you know much about him . +This is because he is the action-movie incarnate or action-star extraordinaire around the world . +I'm sorry , but I can't find the book you lent me . +Oh , that's all right . +I must apologize . I'll buy you a new one tomorrow . +No , please don't . I couldn't let you do that . +May I ask a question ? +Yes , what's it ? +What does mph stand for ? +It's miles per hour . +Look , that bamboo groves are flourishing . Let's go and play there . +Wait ! Look at that board , what's on it ? +' Please don't enter the bamboo groves . ' We're not allowed to go in . +Then we'd better not go . +OK . +Are you ready to go shopping ? +Not yet . I'm not finished with my research yet . +What research ? +Reading my fashion magazines ! How do you think I know so much about all the latest trends ? +But they're just ads . +Duh ... That's the point . The people in the ads are wearing what's in . Plus , there are articles on new trends . +Is there anything worth watching on another channel ? +I think there ’ s a Western on . +Do you mind if we watch it . I ’ d really like to see it . +Well , I really wanted to see the football game . +Football game ? Ok , and you know what comes on next ? +I believe there ’ s a sitcom . +Are you interested in watching it ? +Let me look in the TV Guide first . +Oh , I am sorry . What's on Channel 2 at 10 pm ? +If I remember correctly , it's a quiz show . +Do you want to watch it ? +Let's watch it together . +Well , how did you enjoy your seaside trip ? +It was funny . +Tell me about it , will you ? +Well , we drove through the valley on our way there in the morning . It was a magnificent sight . +Did you stop at the big waterfall for pictures ? +Sure , we wouldn't miss it for anything . After that , we took a short cut to the park . There was very little traffic , so we got there in less than an hour . +You were lucky then . What did you do after that ? +We went for a swim in the sea . That was the best part of the day . Just look at my nice tan . +So you must have had a busy and enjoyable day yesterday . +Yes , you're right . And I was so tired that I fell asleep on the way back . My arms are still stiff from the swim yesterday . +Susan is going to get a divorce . +How do you know that ? +She told me that Peter and she has a quarrel last nigh , and she left this morning , bag and baggage . +Oh , I see . But I think you are making a fuss . They will make it up . Bet it . +Here's the course description guide . +What do I do with it ? +Do you want me to help you ? +Please . +Look . Here are the core classes . Everyone has to take them . +So I don't have to worry about them . +You're catching on ! However , there are elective courses like wood shop , metal shop , home economics ... +I'll take home economics . +Good . Now you can pick classes by yourself . +Well , known , Jim , I'm ... I'm pretty much in favour of your computers , I think computers teach kids to think , because they require logical thoughts . +But I ... I don't agree with thatbecause computers weaken kids'ability to thinkbecause kids don't learn basic skills . +What do you mean ? +They can't spell , they can't add , they can't subtract , they even don't remember any more . that's because they rely on gadgets . +That's not the gadgets . Creating programmes is stimulate thoughts . It engages their imagination and sharpen their mind . +Ann , do you have time next Monday ? +Yeah , what ’ s up ? +Next Monday is my birthday , and I would like you to attend my party . +Wow . I'd love to . +Great ! +When and where ? +Five o ’ clock that afternoon , and in my place , you know ? +Yes , I know . I appreciate your invitation . +I am going to invite other guys . See you that day . +See you . +Hey Stacy . What's going on ? +I'm pretty tired these days . +Why ? You're not working so don't you have a lot of time on your hands ? +I have so much house work to do . I have to take care of the kids , cook , clean , laundry , and the cycle never ends . +How about your husband . Does he help much ? +Not at all . He comes home and complains about his hard day at work . He expects me to do everything . He even wants me to feed him sometimes . Can you believe that ? +That sucks . +If he wasn't so lazy , I think I wouldn't have any complaints . He mows the lawn , but can you believe he tried to convince me to do it ? +That's crossing the line . +Oh well . I'll have to live with it . What else can I do ? +Do you like watching the Winter Olympic Games ? +Of course . It's the tradition game in winter , and with good reason . Don't you like watching it ? +Of course I do . I love it . All the games are exciting and the competitors are respectable . +That's true . For various reasons , it takes more to hold a fierce game for Winter Olympics than it does for Summer Olympics . You know , the low temperature may cause many problems . +Yeah . What's the difference between the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics ? +When the Olympic Games started in modern times , only summer events were included . When it grew popular , there came the Winter Olympic Games , which includes a variety of winter sports . +I see . Then , what's your favorite winter sport ? +Figure skating . In my eye , nothing beats it . +Then you must know Shen Due and Hao Hongbo . +Oh , I didn't expect you to know them . But yes , I love them not only because of many medals they've won , but also because of many medals they've won , but also because of their spirits . +You should go to talk with May . She is a big fan of them too . +How do you arrange this summer vacation ? +I want to travel . +Where would you like to go ? +The seaside . +That's really a good idea . Taking a walk on the beach and lying in the sun are pretty good . I recommend you Qingdao or Dalian . +I ’ Ve been to Qingdao before , so I ’ ll choose Dalian . I've heard that the environment there is very good . +Yes , that's a good place to spend a holiday . Last year I went there . It's really . +Thank you ! +Would you care for something to drink , Mr . Stone ? +No , thank you , Mrs . Carter . I'm fine for now . +Just make yourself at home . The other guests should be arriving shortly . +I'm dreadfully sorry for you . +Thank you very much for your kindness . +Is there any clue ? +No , he left nothing . +Very glad to know something about you , then what are you going to do when you finish . +Oh , I ’ ll go to shanghai to practice there . +That ’ s a good idea . It must be easy to find a job in shanghai . +I think so , you know there is a great deal of opportunity for business there . +And English is very useful in your job . +I think it will be very useful in many ways . Beside , shanghai is an important trade center , not only in China , but also in the world , English is useful in almost all walks of life . +You will be a very promising one . +That ’ s my wish . +I hear you are expecting your family . +Yes , my parents , and soon my brother as well . +I didn't know you had a brother . +Oh , yes , he is two years older than me . He lives in New Zealand so I don't see him that often . +Oh , nice . Is he coming on his own or with the family ? +His son is coming as well . He wants to go to university here in England so they will visit a few universities while they are here . +Does your brother have just one son ? +No , he has two daughters as well . His wife and daughters are visiting her parents . So I won't see them . +I'm sure your parents are looking forward to seeing their grandson . +Oh yes , they are really looking forward to it . They went to New Zealand last year and loved it . +So when are they all coming ? +My parents are already here . My brother and nephew are arriving on Monday . +You seem to very busy these days . What are you doing ? +I am swapped with work after 10 - day holiday . +Where did you spend your holiday ? +I went to Paris . +So , Paula , where are you from ? +I'm from Canada , originally . +From Canada ? Where were you born ? +Montreal . +When did you come to Los Angeles ? +We moved here when I was fourteen . +Did you go to school here ? +Well , I went to high school here , but I went to college in Texas . +Did you get a job right after graduation ? +No , I traveled for a while in Europe after college , and then I lived in France . +When was that ? +Let's see ... That was about six years ago . +I bet that was interesting . What did you do there ? +I studied French . Anyway ... that's enough about me.How about you ? Were you born in L . A . ? +Do you consider yourself a good mother ? +Yes , I'm a very good mother and successful career woman . +How can you manage to do both ? I mean , it is so hard to be a working mother . +I think the most important thing is that you should be nice to yourself , like keeping housework simple , spending money on things that make life easier , buying yourself things you like , and so on . You can only be nice to others when you can be nice to yourself . +Does your husband feel the same ? +Yes . He is very understanding and supportive . +I find it really hard to express myself in class . I have lots of ideas , but they never seem to come out of my mouth . +let me give you a little advice . You know what the topics are going to be , so prepares what you would like to say in advance . +I often do , but I ’ m worried about the responses from other people . +you have to be realistic . Not everyone is going to agree with you , but people will respect your opinion and they will respect the fact that you have contributed something to the discussion . +I ’ m worried that what I say will not make sense . +we could chat about the topic before class . I could check that what you want to say is logical and it would also give you a chance to practice speaking . +that ’ s a good idea . What should I do if I am in two minds about a topic ? +that ’ s easy . Express possibilities . People will think that you are pretty smart to be able to look at the topic from more than one angle . +I didn ’ t realize that speaking in class could be so easy . +the most difficult thing is being able to predict what other people will say . They will reply to your statements , but you can ’ t be sure how . +What's his job ? +He used to be a policeman . +But Mrs.Smith hired him to find her lost son . +Yeah . He's a private eye now . +Bother the flies ! +Where do they come from ? +I don't know . Something rotten here ? +I can't see it . +Have you got your invitation yet ? +My invitation ? No , I haven't . My invitation to what ? +The house warming party . +Whose house warming party is it ? +Tom and Bill Smith . They are both working now you know ? And they've bought a new house . +Oh , they have ? I didn't know . I haven't seen Tom lately . +It's out in the suburbs . +Have you seen the house ? +Yes , I have . I went out with them last weekend . +Is it nice ? +Yes , it is . There are three bedrooms , a living room , a dining room , and a big kitchen . +There's also a garden . +Well , that does sound nice . Have they moved in yet ? +They are moving today . Tom's taken the day off . He's rented a truck , and they should have all their furniture in the house tonight . +When are they going to have the party ? +Next Saturday night . You should get your invitation today or tomorrow . +Wow , that would be something to look forward to . +hi , darling ! I have a one-month vacation saved up . How about a trip to Europe ? +I could go for that . But I'm afraid our budget is a little tight this year . +oh , but I really need to leave this town for a change . Working day after day has worn me out . Do you have any other suggestions ? +we should probably think about going somewhere that isn't too far away . How about the countryside ? There must be many interesting places , and we could enjoy the fresh air and the delicious local spec +wonderful ! I think that's a great idea . How soon until we can make this happen ? I can't wait ! +tomorrow I have an appointment with my dentist . What about next Monday ? +perfect . I'll start preparing tomorrow . If we're going to drive , I'll need to fill up the tank . +no need . I think it's still plenty full . Even so , I'd rather travel by bus or train . It would cost much less than driving . Oil prices are soaring nowadays , you know . +we can take the train , that will be faster . I'll book the tickets tomorrow morning . +great ! Oh , one more thing , don't forget to check the weather before we go . I'd hate to get caught in the rain . +no problem . I'm really looking forward to the coming week . +Me , too . Now let's make a list for what we need to take with us . +Hi , Kenny . Let's go for a drink . +Sounds good . Where are we going ? +Somewhere new . It's a great place to pick up chicks . +Need a new . girlfriend , huh ? +Yeah , I broke up with Lisa.She blew a gasket over it . Whoa , get a load of that ! +Whew ! That getup is terrific ! +Never mind the getup.She ' s beautiful ! +That too . +I'm gonna introduce myself . +If you're lucky , that might do the trick . +Oh , oh , that tears it ! I'm getting out of here . +Hold on ! What's the big hurry ? +My ex-girlfriend's here.If she sees me , my goose is cooked . +I wanna finish my drink first . I'll meet you at Sammy's . +OK , catch you later . +Valerie ! Hi ! Wow how are you ? It ’ s been such a long time ! +Darlene ! Indeed , it ’ s been a while ! How have you been ? Wow , you look amazing ! I love what you ’ Ve done with your hair ! +Really ? Thanks ! I went to that hair salon that you told me about , but enough about me ! Look at you ! You haven ’ t aged a day since the last time I saw you ! What is your secret ! +Ha ha , come on ! Well , I ’ Ve been watching what I eat , and working out three times a week . By the way , I heard your son recently graduated ! +Yes , my little Paul is finally a doctor . They grow up so fast you know . +He is such a handsome guy . He gets his looks from his mother of course ! +Thank you ! What about your daughter , Pamela ? I heard she has passed the bar exam and married recently . +Oh yes . She had a beautiful wedding in Cozumel Mexico and we all attended . +Such a lovely girl . I hope my Paul is lucky enough to find a girl like that someday ! +But of course ! Well , it ’ s been great talking to you , but I have to get going . +Same here ! We will catch up soon , maybe over coffee ! +That would be great ! Give me a call ! +See you soon ! Bye ! Egg ... I can ’ t stand that woman or her obnoxious daughter . +Did you already take the history exam ? +Yeah . It was hard . When do you take it ? +I take it tomorrow morning . There is so much material that I dont know what to emphasize on . What types of questions did you get ? +Mostly on the civil war . You should also study the impact Martin Luther King Jr . had on American society . +What about Abraham Lincoln ? Did you get any questions about him ? +I only had 1 question about him . But you might get more . I dont know if he will have the same exam or not . +Hopefully he will use the same exam , cause Im going to spend most of my time studying the civil war . It is a huge section and that is what he lectured the most on in class . +If you cant study everything , then that is probably the best way to go . +Aright . Thanks for the info . I gotta go to the library now . +Good luck . +Thanks . See ya . +What's the matter with you , then ? You look miserable . +It's us . +What do you mean by " us " ? +Well , we used to talk to each other before we were married . Remember ? +What do you mean ? We ' re talking now , aren't we ? +Oh , yes , but we used to do so much together . +Yes . I remember . But we never used to argue . You used to think I was wonderful . Where are you going ? +Back to live with my parents . That's something else I used to do before we were married . Remember ? +Hey , Blake ! Are you still listening to Mozart ? +Yes.Do you like it ? +It's great . and I ' Ve heard that listening to Mozart can make you more intelligent . +Really ? I've never heard that before . I just like it . +Is classical music your favorite ? +Yes . What about you ? +I Like pop music best . Classical music is a bit too heavy for me . I can't get fully relaxed in it . +Pop music doesn't have any depth for me . +Yeah , that's why I can enjoy myself in it . +Did you always like pop music . +I think so , since I was in primary school . How long have you been interested in classical music . +I didn't like it at all until I started to learn violin when I was eight . From then on . classical music has been an important part of my life . +oh , I didn't know you can play the violin . Do you still play . +Sometimes , but these days I'm often too busy . +It was really hard for our parents to save money when they were young . +Most people were living form hand to mouth . How could they ? +Yeah . They simply had no extra money to save up or for other things . +Fortunately , things are changing these years . +Jane , I was wondering if you you had any plans for saturday afternoon . +A friend and I are planing to go out , why ? what's up ? +There is a special exhibition of french sculptures at the museum , I was hoping you ' d like to come with me . +I am afraid I can't I am going to be out all day . +What about sunday ? +i wish i could , but it's my mums birthday . +Maybe next week . +Much as I ' d like to , I am afraid i wont be free next week , I have a lot of work . +Sorry to hear that , I was really looking forward to spending some more time with you , I really enjoyed our last chat . +I am really sorry too , maybe I can give you a call sometime . +Have any plans for the weekend , Tom ? +Yeah , I ’ m going for a hike in the southern Rocky Mountains . +Oh , do you go hiking often ? +I go as much as I can . I love hiking because you can really get in touch with nature . +It would be nice to get out of the city . Do you want some company ? +Sure . But , it will be a long hike , 30 miles in three days . Have you been hiking before ? +Yeah , I go a lot too . I saw a bear and a mountain lion on my last hike . +Wow ! You must have been pretty far away from the city . +Yeah , my friend and I hiked in a very wild part of the national forest . +Well , bring him along too . We ’ ll have a great time this weekend . +Thanks , I ’ ll ask him . +How upsetting ! He has been away for a week ! +I don't know if anything terrible has happened . +I have reported it to the police . +We'd better prepare for the worst . +You've heard of Bruce Jenner , haven't you ? +He won the decathlon in the 1976 Olympics , right ? +I read that he trained so much that he used to dream about jumping hurdles . +I can think of better things to dream about ... +Sometimes he would wake up covered in sweat , with his legs pumping away . +That's crazy . +Mike ! Look at the floor ! +What's wrong with it ? +What's wrong with it ? It's filthy ! +Oh ... +It's filthy because you never wipe your shoes . +Sorry , love . +What are you looking for now ? +My cigarettes . +Well , they ' re not here.They are in the dustbin . +In the dustbin ! Why didn't you tell me before ? +Excuse me . Do you study Chinese at this university ? +Yes , I do . But my characters are very bad . +It takes a long time to learn Chinese writing . +Are you Chinese by birth ? +Yes , I am . I am from Guangzhou . I am here to study international relations . +How do you like it ? +I like it so far . But my English still needs work . +I want to study Mandarin and public relations . +Hey , look over there . It seems that there is something interesting going on . Let's go and have a look . +Sure . It's probably a skiing show . Adam told me there are many skiing clubs whose members put on shows to attract more visitors . +Look at that . It's so dangerous . My mom would never allow me to do that . +Stop all this fuss and enjoy the show . +You are right . But what if an avalanche happened ? +They are all great skiers and very experienced . So I suppose the chance for them to be buried by an avalanche is slim . +Anyway , the show is breathtaking . By the way , where did they get so much snow here ? +Well , they have the most advanced snowmaking machine . +Do you think the snowmaking may cause pollution ? +It's possible . +You'll never guess what I won at work today ! - Tickets to tonight's final NBA game . +Two , I hope and I hope that by telling me about them you are planning on taking me ! +Of course ! And here's the best part , they are court side seats ! +How in the world ! Who came up with seats like that from your company ? +Some guy in the accounting department has a brother on the team ! +Can't beat that ! Thank you accounting guy ! +The game starts at seven so we'd better hustle , it's already five . +What are we waiting for ? Let's go ! +Let ’ s play a game ! +OK ! How about Scrabble ? +No , no , a friend of mine taught me this really fun game . I ’ m going to describe someone ’ s face , and you guess who it is ! +OK ! +Let ’ s see . He has a roman nose , bushy eyebrows and dimples ! +Our cousin Pete ! My turn ! She has a pointy nose , sunken eyes and a mole on her chin ! +Aunt Rose ! That mole is so huge ! OK , my turn . He has a crooked nose and full lips . He has quite a few freckles and an oval face . Oh , he is also bald ! +Your future husband ! +Not funny . +As we know , mobile phones bring people great convenience and shorten the distance among friends and relatives . +It bears a great many of advantages , but also some weak points . +Is it ? I've never thought of any disadvantages of the mobile phone . +For instance , the mobile phone seriously distracts the attention of people from work and study . +That's true . Some people pay too much attention to their mobile phones . +Actually , it's not the fault of the mobile phone . But people should have a proper attitude towards it . Mobile phone is a tool serving people , not the fetters restricting them . +Lee , I'm going to get married next month . +Good news ! And congratulations ! +You are invited to my wedding . +Thank you . I'll certainly be there . +Thank you for lending me the book . +Sure . But it's a very difficult one , you need to have a dictionary at your elbow . +But I'm not used to looking up every new word when I'm reading a novel . I only look up the most necessary ones . +Don ’ t you agree that all the thieves should be punished by cutting off their fingers ? +I ’ m afraid many people would turn thumbs down on it . +Don ’ t you think in that case , there wouldn ’ t be so much stealing ? +Definitely . But I think it is too fierce . +The bartender just gave the last call . Let's order another round , okay ? +Sure , but let's get a pitcher this time We should be able to down it before they close . +That sounds good . You order the beer while I go to the bathroom . Where is the can in this place ? +It's all the way to the back . See that yellow door ? +Yeah . I think I can find it . +You're back already . That sure was quick . +That's because I just took one step inside and turned right around . That bathroom is too gross for me . +Well , the bartender wouldn't give me the pitcher of beer . Anyway . He said it was too close to closing time . +Let's leave then . I could take some fresh air , anyway . +Okay , let's go ! +hi , Mary ! What do you like to do in your spare time ? +well , I spend a lot of time watching movies . +what a confidence ! I always watch a lot of movies , too . +oh really , Frank ? What kind of movies do you like ? +actually , I watch whichever movie there is , be it a comedy , a sci-fi or a suspense movie . How about you ? +art films are my favorite , but thrillers are cool , too . +really impressive . These two genres are totally different . +sure . I enjoy both of them very much . +how often do you go to the cinema ? +once in a while , I suppose , I usually rent movies at Movie Salon . +movie salon ? where is that ? +it's a movie rental store in my neighborhood . I've got a membership there . +is it good ? +yes , you can find almost all new releases there . +really ? Maybe I shall also sign up for its membership . +why not ? +Hey Suzie . Guess what ? I'm having a baby ! +Really ? That's so great . Congratulations . +Thanks . I'm so excited . We've been trying for 8 months now . +That's really exciting . How many months are you pregnant ? +Three months . +Are you going to find out if it is a boy or a girl ? +I want to , but Bob doesn't . He wants to be surprised like the old fashioned way . +Maybe it's more exciting not knowing . +I'd rather know and buy all the baby things ahead of time . +There are so many things you have to prepare for . +I know I am going to be busy , but I know I can handle it . I have been looking forward to this day for a long long time . +It really must be an exciting time for you guys . +Thank you so much . +Mary seems depressed . What ’ s the matter ? +She didn ’ t expect to get a kick in the teeth after a day ’ s hard work . +Poor girl ! +Believe it or not , one of the narrowest street in the world is only 49cm wide . +Unbelievable ! How do people go through it ? +That's what I'm wondering , too . +I wish I had a chance to see it with my own eyes . +Would you care to join for the picnic tomorrow ? +Much to my regret , I'll have to meet my girlfriend at the airport then . +We'd like to invite you for our dress party tomorrow evening , are you free ? +Much as we'd like to , but we've booked up already for that time . +What a pity ! You can't join us . +So sorry . Next time we'll go , thanks anyway . +I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight , do you think have time ? +Thank you for your inition . I'm free tonight . +Which kind of food do you like , chinese food , western food or sea food ? +I prefer sea food . +ok . I'll pick up your hotel at 6 thirty pm . +That's fine . I'll be waiting for you . +See you later . +bye . +Look ! I bought these shoes only three weeks ago and there is a hole in them already . +If that happen to me , I ’ ll take them back to the shop . +I did . But they said they won ’ t change them . +That ’ s terrible . But if they wouldn ’ t change them , I know what I would do . +Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by your work ? +Of course ! It is the No . 1 stressor in my life . You know job stress has become a very common problem these days . So we must learn to cope with it . +Totally agree . What is your solution ? +Well , there are two causes of job stress . One is employee characteristic and the other is company condition . So if we want to manage job stress , both we and the companies should do something . For me , I am trying to balance work and leisure time . You know , all work and no play make Jack a dull boy . +You seem to have a very relaxed outlook . +It is necessary . Positive attitude helps to prevent stress . +But I don ’ t think we can change our working condition . Anyway , we are not the bosses . +I heard some companies are providing stress management training and making changes inside them , like avoiding unrealistic deadlines and organizing relaxation activities . Our boss is a smart person . He will be learning from that if he would like to an efficient and healthy team . +I am so busy today . +Can I help you ? +I ’ m not sure . Perhaps you could do the shopping . +I ’ ll be glad to help . +Or maybe make the beds . +All you have to do is ask for help . +Thanks . That ’ s terrific ! +I ’ m ready and willing to help . +The restaurant across the street hired a new Chinese chef , so I ordered some Chinese food there for this evening . +Good . I love Chinese food . What did you order ? +Something hot and spicy . They look very inviting on the menu . You are going to love them . +Maybe we can find a place to learn some Chinese cooking . I hear there's a place in Chinatown where you can take some courses . Are you interested ? +I'm not sure . I don't enjoy cooking that much . As long as we can order it from a restaurant , we don't have to learn to do it by ourselves . +You are right . But I just want to know how they prepare food and make it taste so different . +You don't look too well . Maybe you should take the day off from work . +I couldn't do that . I have an important meeting to go to today . +Do you feel ok ? +Not really . After a 12 - hour flight , I've got jetlag , and on top of that , I think I've also got the flu . +Why don't you call your secretary and tell her to reschedule the meeting ? You should really get some rest or you'll end up feeling even worse than you do now . +Could you feel my forehead and check to see if I have a fever ? +You're really hot . Let me get you some Tylenol to bring the fever down . +Ok . I'll stay home this morning and rest , but if I feel better in the afternoon , I'm going to the meeting . +Zach , what's that on your arm ? +I don't know . It looks a bit red , but I'm sure it's nothing . +It looks like you have a red rash all over you ! Are you allergic to anything ? +Just cats , but I don't think I was near any cats in the last couple of weeks . +I completely forgot about your cat allergy . I took care of a cat for my friend here a few days ago . Oh no . we'd better go to the doctor and get some medicine . Let's go . +Shouldn't we make an appointment first ? +We would , but let's just go and see if there's an opening now before it gets worse . +Whatever you say . I just want to get to my meeting ! +I can't go to your party . +That's too bad . +Do you like being a doctor ? +Yes , most of the time . But , sometimes things can get difficult . +Can you tell me about it ? +You know , sometimes patients can get very unreasonable . They may insist they are sick when they are not . +What can you do when this happens ? +Not much , usually I'll just keep silent . +Have you eaten ? +Not yet . +It's too hot to read . +We'd better go out for a walk . +Which season do you like best ? +Spring . +How about summer ? +I dislike it most . +Why ? +Because the hottest season is summer in a year . +But sometimes summer is more charming than the other seasons . +My son came home from three years in the navy . +It was a real red letter day for you . +Yeah . We rolled out the red carpet to welcome him home . +John , my father isn't there at all . Are you kidding ? +Cool , fellow , what's the date today , buddy ? +It's ... oh it's the 1st April , April Fool's Day . +You forgot all of about it , didn't you ? +I must be going . +Okay . Keep in touch . +Hi , I made a reservation for a mid-size vehicle . The name is Jimmy Fox . +I ’ m sorry , we have no mid-size available at the moment . +I don ’ t understand , I made a reservation , do you have my reservation ? +Yes , we do , unfortunately we ran out of cars . +But the reservation keeps the car here . That ’ s why you have the reservation . +I know why we have reservations . +I don ’ t think you do.If you did , I ’ d have a car.See , you know how to take the reservation , you just don ’ t know how to hold the reservation and that ’ s really the most important part of the reservation , the holding . Anybody can just take them . +But we do have a compact or an SUV if you ’ d like . +Fine . I ’ ll take the compact . +Alright . We have a blue Ford Focus for you , Mr . Fox . Would you like insurance ? +Yeah , you better give me the insurance , because I am gonna beat the hell out of this car . +Do you think Tom will be elected president ? +No , I think Harry will get it . +Let's make a bet on who gets it . +OK , loser buys pizza tomorrow night . +I met a girl in elevator this morning . She works in a company upstairs . She said she envied the casual way we dress for work . She complained about the dress rule in her company . It requires everyone to wear formal clothes from Monday to Friday . +Well , I was wondering where those people with professional attire come from . Now , I know the answer . +You know , in a sense , a suits and ties are compulsory for male employees even in July , and no jewelry allowed for most of the female employees . Even the reasonable male leaf is returning the rule , isn ’ t that strict ? +To some extent , it is . Anyway , whether they like it or not , they do give people a very good impression . +But it is unjust to judge a book by its cover . If they ’ re not happy or comfortable with their clothes , they can be less productive . +What happened ? Why didn't he win ? +Didn't you hear ? He was disqualified . +How did that happen ? He's so talented ! I thought he had a great chance of winning a gold medal ! +If he didn't have any drug problems , he would have won . +What ? What kind of drugs was he using ? +He was taking steroids to make him stronger and faster . +I thought that all athletes were supposed to be regularly tested for drugs . +They are . The only reason they didn't disqualify him until after the race is because the results from the text only came back afterwards . +That's so disappointing . I don't know why top athletes would feel the need to take drugs . +I don't think it's right , but I can understand why they might . Imagine how much pressure there would be to win for your country ! +Regardless of how much pressure you're under , there's never a good reason to take drugs . +I agree . Hopefully with the new regulations , fewer athletes will try to cheat with drugs . +Let's hope so . +Cindy , how come nearly all the prime-time TV shows are comedies ? +That's because Americans love sitcoms . +Sitcoms ? +Situation comedies . A sitcom is half an hour long and it airs weekly . Sitcom shows tend to be about ordinary people . If there is one thing that all the shows have in common , it is teaching wholesome values . +In Taiwan , prime-time shows are an hour long and most of them aren't comedies . +I think Americans would rather laugh than cry or be scared in their free time . +Are you interested in history ? +Yes , I am . I enjoyed studying it at school , though I had trouble remembering all the dates , so my teacher never gave me good marks . +I love history , but I ’ Ve always thought that learning the reasons behind events is more important than remembering exactly when they happened . +I wish you had been my history teacher ! I might have got better marks ! +Some people say that history repeats itself . +What does that mean ? The same events never happen twice , do they ? +The idea is that the people and dates change , but the reason why things happen stay the same . +I see . I think I ’ d agree with that statement . People often seem to make the same mistakes over and over again . +You're looking great . +You , too . +What's the matter , John ? you seemed to be restless today . +You see , I've been offered a new job . I can't decide whether to take it or not . +Oh , that's easy . If it's better than the one you are doing now , go for it . That's my advice . +It isn't that easy . I hate to quit my present job . People around here are very nice and the work itself is challenging . +Then what about the salary ? Would you get more ? +Yes , they say I would get a big sum . +Have you discussed it with your wife ? +Yes , she leaves it to me . +As I say it the work is well worth try . After all you can get a higher salary . +I have to think about it . +Sybil . Is that spelt with an I or a Y ? +Both actually . S , Y , B , I , L . +Of course . +I see Mike farmer has make it into the Olympic team . He beat the national record by 0.1 of a second . +That ’ s great . He ’ s the best runner I ’ Ve seen this season . I ’ m sure he ’ ll win a medal at the Olympics . +I think you ’ re right . I think we have a very good athletics team . They should do well in the Olympics . How many medals do you think we ’ ll win ? +I really don ’ t know . I don ’ t think we ’ ll win many gold medals , but I think we should win several silver and bronze ones . +What do you think our chance are in other events . +In the last Olympics , we did very well in swimming , cycling and ball sports . I think we ’ ll do well in those same events . +We might get a gold medal in the sailing too . Our team put in a lot of practice . +I think we can expect to get between 30 to 40 medals in total . +You are very optimistic ! +Helen , did you hear I ’ m having a party ? Next Saturday in my place . +I may have something on that day , but thanks for inviting me . +Well , drop by if you can . +I will , do you want me to bring anything ? +No , just bring yourself . I hope to see you there . +It's said that John's broken up . +Really ? But his wife has always waited on him hand and foot . +I hear that John's leading a double wife . +It's very bad of him to cheat on a lady like his wife . +Let's play chess . +I haven't played chess for a long time . +That's all right , I'm a beginner . I've just learnt how to play . +Look , there's a chessboard . Those two men have already finished playing . +You're a very good player +Not really , but once I won a prize . +So did I . I won a prize last week but it was a prize for beginners . +My prize was for the best player in the country . Now let's start playing chess seriously . +You have been here for how long ? Four months now ? +Yeah , about . +Do you know Chinese better now ? +Oh , definitely . I remember , when I first arrived in Guangzhou , my girlfriend was haggling with a sales clerk over the price of a mobile phone . +Oh , yeah . Many Chinese like to bargain . It happens almost everywhere . +I mean , I understand that . But the speed of the conversation got faster and faster , until it seemed to me that they would fight . My perception of the tone was that it was a violent shouting match . The truth was that it was a perfectly normal conversation . +A shouting match ? You ’ re so funny . You must be exaggerating . I don ’ t believe it . +I am not exaggerating at all . I ’ m telling you the truth . That was how I felt at that time . +Yes , perhaps . Chinese usually don ’ t notice that sort of thing . Maybe it ’ s quite natural to us . +Yes , absolutely true . +Excuse me , can you tell me the name of the book you read ? +Harry Potter . +Harry Potter ? Is that book funny ? +Actually , the language itself is not so funny , but you can imagine the scene , that's funny . +Got it . +Have you ever read this book before ? +No , but my little brother likes it very much . +It's really a good book . You will like it too . +I'll try to read it . Actually , I like literature very much . +Wow , that sounds like a scholar . By the way , who's your favorite writer ? +Jane Austen . +Me too . Pride and Prejudice is my favorite . +I like it too . But Sense and Sensibility is my favorite . +Oh , it's getting late . I've got to run . It was nice talking to you , karren . +Thanks , Tim.Nice meeting you , too . +I guess we'll see just around . +Ye , I hope so.well.Take it easy . +You too . +Hey Sandra , what's wrong ? You look furious ! +I've had it with Tim ! I think I'm going to quit ! +But Sandra ... you love your job ! You spent months trying to get this position . It's perfect for you ! +Yeah ... I know . But I'm sick and tired of all the office power struggles ! +What kind of power struggles are you talking about ? +Basically , I think Tim is threatened by me . I'm doing a better job than he is so he's trying to sabotage my career ! +So he talks about you behind your back ? +Yes . He's all nice and friendly to my face . But the second I turn around he stabs me in the back ! +I had a worker like that once . She was always taking credit for my ideas . +I should keep a better record of my correspondence with the clients so if necessary I can prove it was my effort . +My co-worker had a whole bunch of bad office habits . She liked to name-drop ... we would be in a meeting and she would say , yesterday I was chatting with Tom . She meant Tom Solomon ... our CEO . +Doris , I'm glad you're home . I'm terrified . I don't know what to do ! +What is it ? What happened ? +I think someone is stalking me . +No , it can't be . Really ? Who ? +I don't know . I saw him the first time Tuesday . He was at the cafe . I noticed he was looking at me a lot . Not just the usual looking , but staring.He just kept staring at me . He didn't stop . +What did you do ? +I didn't do anything . Finally , he left.But then I saw him again today . Outside the shoe store . Near the cafe . I went into a CD store and pretended I was looking at CD's . But then he came in too . +Did he leave when you left ? +Yes . Then I noticed he was on the sidewalk behind me . He was following me . +What did you do ? +Man , I'm hungry . Do you know a good place to have lunch ? +Yes , I know a great place . What types of food do you like ? +Mexican , Japanese or Chinese would be great . +Oh , I know a place where you might like to eat . +Is it close by ? +It's down a block on the right ; can I show you the way ? +OK , I'd love the company . +This will work out well . I'm getting hungry just thinking about it . +have you ever been to Disneyworld ? +when I was young , my parents took me to the one in California . I always forget which — is that one Disneyland or Disneyworld ? +the one in Florida is Disneyworld and the one in California is Disneyland , so you must have been to Disneyland . +that's right . Why do you ask ? +well , I've never been to either so I was thinking of going to Disneyworld for my honeymoon . +when are you getting married ? +some time next year . We haven't set the date yet . +congratulations ! I had no idea . +thank you . So what do you think ? Would we have a good time ? +do you like amusement parks ? +for the most part , yes . Some of the rides are bit too scary for me , though . +if you don't think twice about the rides and go on every ride that you can , you'll have a good time . +even the roller coasters that go through tunnels in the dark ? +even those . It'll be very romantic , I think . You'll have loads of fun . +thanks for the advice . I'll talk to my fiance about it tonight . +I'm sure he'll love the idea . Just throw yourself into it and you'll enjoy it ! +Matthew ? Hi ! +Steve ! Haven't seen you in ages ! How long's it been ? +It's got to be almost a year now . +How have you been ? +I'm pretty good . I've been looking for a place to live recently . My lease runs out next month and I don't want to renew it . +Yeah , I remember the neighborhood . Have you found a place yet ? +Not yet . But I am still looking through the classifieds . Wish me luck . +Well , maybe I can help . Remember my neighbor ? +Mrs . Thou ? +Yes , her daughter's having a baby , so she's moving in with her to help out . I think if you are interested , you can come over and have a look . +Great . It's a lovely neighborhood . And it would be nice to be neighbors again . It would be just like the old days ! +I'll ask Mrs . Thou when she's available to show the apartment and let you know . Has your number changed ? +Are you ready to go to the mall ? +Yeah . Dig my new pants ? +Copycat ! +What do you mean ? +You went out and bought khakis , too ! +No . Mine are a soft brown . Yours are khaki . +Whatever . +Have heard of Paul ? +No , what ? +He's got a promotion . +You're kidding . +No , they made him vicepresident in charge of sells . +I don't believe it.He is only being with the company for two years . +Well , it's true.The board man last thirdly and they choice Paul . +Well.Good for him . +Jeff , I'm going to the supermarket . Do you want to come with me ? +I think the supermarket is closed now . +Oh , When does it close ? +It closes at 7:00 on Sundays . +That's too bad . +Don't worry , we can go tomorrow morning . It opens at 8: 00 . +Alright . What do you want to do now ? +Let's take a walk for a half an hour . My sister will get here at about 8: 30PM and then we can all go out to dinner . +Where does she live ? +She lives in San Francisco . +How long has she lived there ? +I think she's lived there for about 10 years . +That's a long time . Where did she live before that ? +San Diego . +Hey , Peter , have you had lunch yet ? +No . How about you ? +Not yet . Let's go to that restaurant on the corner . +Who's that ? +Search me . +I had a big argument with david yesterday . I hope he ’ s not still mad at me . +What did you argue about ? +He borrowed some money from me and I needed it back . He said he didn ’ t have the money yet . +Well , he should pay you back . It ’ s only fair . +Yes , but I got angry with him too quickly . He probably thought that I mistrusted him . I shouldn ’ t have got angry . +Did you lend him a lot of money ? +Not much . I had to pay an unexpected bill , so I needed the money back . +Well , talk to him about it next time you see him . He probably feels as bad about it as you do . Close friends sometimes have disagreements . It ’ s nothing unusual . Neither of you said anything really nasty , did you ? +No , we didn ’ t . I guess you ’ re right . We should patch things up . +Of course you should . You wouldn ’ t want a silly argument to ruin a long friendship , would you ? +Did you read the letter in the paper about smoking ? The person who wrote that must be crazy . +I don ’ t think so . I think the government should do everything it can to discourage people from smoking . +Maybe so . But a law banning cigarettes will do no good . +No , you can ’ t suddenly make smoking illegal , but government could prohibit smoking in public places like movies and theatres . +Do you know that the dolphin is the most intelligent animal in the world ? +Yes . Dolphins have a big brain and they are very smart . They are also the fastest swimmers in the world . +They must be amazing animals . +They are . I read a story about a dolphin saving a A from drowning in the sea . +I read that story too . They seem to be able to understand men . +They sure can . Maybe they can interact with men better than monkeys and apes . +Oh dear , my weight has gone up again . +I am not surprised , you eat too much . +And I suppose sitting at the desk all day in the office doesn't help . +No , I wouldn't think so . +I do wish I could lose weight . +Well , why don't you go on the diet ? +I've tried diets before but they've never worked . +Perhaps you should excercise more . Why don't you go to an exercise class . +Yes , maybe I should . +Could you please wait for a minute ? I'll buy the tickets +All right . +Here is your ticket . +Thank you . +The park will close soon . We Should better go in right now . +Really ? +Yes , let's go in . +It is a new park , isn't it ? +Yes , how do you know ? +I guessed it . +Well , generally speaking , the park is a window on the world history , a window on the world civilization and a window on the world's tourist attractions as well . +Oh , how wonderful ! +I was just watching a documentary on TV about how people use dogs for various purpose . It was very interesting . +I love dogs . They have been used as guards for centuries . Nowadays , they are often used to find illegal drugs and bombs by the police and customs officers . +The documentary also pointed out that they are used by shepherds to round up sheep and by rescue workers to find people trapped under rubble or snow . +Horses are useful to people too . We use them for sports and recreation . +Don ’ t forget that horses are still used in many countries to pull ploughs and carts . +Can you ride a horse ? +Yes , I can . I don ’ t ride regularly though . How about you ? +I can ride too . Perhaps we could go horse riding together at the weekend ? +What a good idea ! +Where's Mrs . Johnson ? +Just call her Lisa , Mary . She's cooking dinner . +I see . Can I sit down ? +Of course ! Make yourself at home . +Thank you , Mr . Johnson . +Please , just call me Tom . +Okay , Tom . +Where's Cindy ? +She's upstairs in my room . +Can you tell her to come downstairs ? We're about to have dinner . +Have you heard of Paul ? +No , what ? +He's got a promotion . +You're kidding . +No , they made him vicepresident in charge of sells . +Oh , I don't believe it . He is only being with the company for two years . +Well , it's true . The board man last thirdly and they choice Paul . +Well . Good for him . +Let's speed up . We're going to be late again . +If we hurry , can we get there in time ? +I hope so . +Is it your first time to join the sports meeting of Junior High School ? +Yes , and it's great . What are the events at the sports meeting ? +Long-distance race , dash , hurdle race , relay race , standing long jump , high jump , shotput and so on . +Our neighbor , Bruce , will take part in the relay race . Let's go have a look . +OK , let's go . +The competition will begin in 5 minutes , it's tense here . +Wonderful , Bruce is taking the lead . +Other competitors have almost caught up with him . They are neck and neck . +Come on , Bruce . Come on , Bruce . +Wow , Bruce crossed the line first . +Tim ’ s smiles are interesting . +Yes , they are shy and gentle but very powerful . +You are right . They sweep Nancy off her feet . And now she fell head over heels in love with him . +How wonderful it would be if I had such smiles ! +Have you enjoyed your weekend ? +Yes , it's been marvelous . It really was very kind of you to invite me . I hope it hasn't been too much trouble . +Not at all . We've really enjoyed having you . I hope you'll come and stay again next time you're in Changsha . +The Great Wall is a great attraction for visitors . +It's a man-made wonder . I've seen it many times in textbooks and it's part of my dream to visit it . +Someone claimed it was one of the two man-made wonders that could be seen on the moon . +That's true . +I ’ m forming a music band . +Do you already know how to play an instrument ? +Uh ... Yeah ! I ’ Ve told you a thousand times that I ’ m learning to play the drums . Now that I know how to play well , I would like to form a rock band . +Aside from yourself , who are the other members of the band ? +We have a guy who plays guitar , and another who plays bass . Although we still haven ’ t found anyone to be our singer . You told me that you had some musical talent , right ? +Yes , I ’ m a singer . +Perfect . So you can audition this weekend here at my house . +Great ! Wait here ? You don ’ t have enough room for the amplifiers , microphones or even your drums ! By the way where do you keep them or practice ? +What would you like for Christmas ? +I would like to have that new style Gl Joe . +Have you asked Santa ? +Yes and I've written him a letter . +Lili , let ’ s take a vacation ! +George , how can we ? Vacations cost money . And this month we don ’ t have much money left after paying the rent . +Well , Lili , we can visit different places in the state in our van 10 . We are not going to take a plane or stay at a hotel this time . Trust me , it won ’ t cost much . +Where will we sleep , then ? +In the van . +What about other expenses ? +Let ’ s see . Gas , food , recreation , we won ’ t spend much . Come on . Don ’ t hesitate . We need to get out of the house once in a while . We have been working hard , haven ’ t we ? +Maybe you ’ re right . When do you plan to go ? +The sooner the better ! I can ’ t wait ! +Oh , I don ’ t know where we ’ re going yet . +As long as we ’ re going , you can decide where to go . I trust your judgments . I know you miss Chinese food , so we can eat at a Chinese restaurant this time . +Let ’ s go to Chicago.We can have lunch in Chinatown.Then we can go to a ball game at Wrigley Field ! +You have such good ideas ! +What date will our field trip be on ? +The science field trip is next Monday at 8 o'clock in the morning . Do you want to make note of that on your calendar ? +Yes , I will make note of that . +Next Monday is December 2nd . The buses will leave at 8 , but we must begin loading at 7 +I will be there half an hour early . +You might want to tell whoever is picking you up that you will return on December 8th . Do you have a ride ? +Yes , someone is picking me up . +To get back to campus by 8 +Not at the moment — maybe later , though . +All of the extra information that you need is on the bulletin board in the hallway . See you on Monday ! +The acting of this film is marvelous in spite of the thin plot . +I'm sorry for hero . +I don't think there's any excuse for his acting in some parts . +Don't be too critical . We can't expect it to be perfect . +How was your business trip ? +Great - they wined and dined us all week . +Nice to meet you here.How come you dropped into this company today ? +My boss sent me here to take some business documents back to his office . I didn't know you were working here.What a surprise.How long have you been doing this ? +Two years or so . +That is great.Do you have to work the night shift ? +No , in most cases I don't have to unless there is something urgent to deal with . I work five days a week . +Do you enjoy work here ? +It is hard to say.But I've to start by working as a trainee before I really become an experienced marketing assistant.Sometimes , I am really under great pressure when it gets busy . +Take it easy . I'm sure you will gain enough experience while working as a marketing assistant . I hope you haven't been given much trouble in the job . +Luckily not.The silent I meet are generally very friendly and have a good boss . +Glad to hear that . +Scientists have found a second solar system in the universe . +What's the second solar system ? +It's just a system like ours , with a star and a number of planets going around it . +Is this good news or bad news ? +It's exciting news ! If we find a second solar system , we might find a second earth ! +You mean with people on it ? +Yes ! Isn't that exciting ? +Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend ? +Sorry , I thought you knew . +But you should tell me you were in love with her . +Didn't I ? +You know you didn't . +Well , I am telling you now . +Yes , but you might have told me before . +I didn't think you would be interested . +You can't be serious . How dare you not tell me you are going to marry her ? +Sorry , I didn't think it mattered . +Oh , you men ! You are all the same . +How was the movie last night ? +I didn't really like it . +Mary said that she was really pleased with the photography . +I found it very disappointing . +She liked the acting , too , because that's what she wanted to see . +I wasn't happy with it . +Nothing is to your satisfaction . +Honey , I ’ ll be right back ! +Where are you going ? +I told you already ! I ’ m going to get my nails done . +Again ? You just went last week ! You spend more time at the nail salon than you do here at home ! Honestly , why do you need a manicure every week ? +Well , first of all , I like to pamper myself , and my nails look great . You should come with me ! +Why ? I don ’ t want to have nail polish or anything like that ! +They don ’ t only paint my nails ! The manicurist will remove my cuticles , file my nails , and apply at least nails coats of nail polish ! +Yeah , sounds like something I should definitely do . +Good afternoon ! +Good afternoon ! Sit down , please.How are you ? +I'm very well , thank you.How are you ? +Very well too , thank you very much.Isn ' t it a lovely day ? +Yes , it's beautiful , but it's also very hot . +Yes . +What's the weather like in your country ? +Mm ... It's quite warm now . +Where do you live ? +In London.Where do you live ? +Here.Near this school . +I ’ Ve had it ! I ’ m done working for a company that is taking me nowhere ! +So what are you gonna do ? Just quit ? +That ’ s exactly what I am going to do ! I ’ Ve decided to create my own company ! I ’ m going to write up a business plan , get some investors and start working for myself ! +Have you ever written up a business plan before ? +Well , no , it can ’ t be that hard ! I mean , all you have to do is explain your business , how you are going to do things and that ’ s it , right ? +You couldn ’ t be more wrong ! A well written business plan will include an executive summary which highlights the idea of the business in two pages or less . Then you need to describe your company with information such as what type of legal structure it has , history , etc . +Well , that seems easy enough . +Wait , there ’ s more ! Then you need to introduce and describe your goods or services . What they are and how they are different from competitors ’ ? Then comes the hard part , a market analysis . You need to investigate and analyze hundreds of variables ! You need to take into consideration socioeconomic factors from GDP per capita to how many children on average the population has ! All this information is useful so that you can move on to your strategy and implementation stage , where you will describe in detail how you will actually execute your idea . +Geez . Is that all ? +Almost , the most important piece of information for your investors will be the financial analysis . Here you will calculate and estimate sales , cash flow and profits . After all , people will want to know when they will begin to see a return on their investment ! +Umm . I think I ’ ll just stick to my old job and save myself all the hassle of trying to start up a business ! +I hear that Mary got mad . +So I heard . +What ’ s wrong with her ? +She went over the edge after her son was killed in an accident . +Um , what will you do this weekend ? +How about a movie ? We haven't done that for a while . +A movie ? Sure . Do you know what's on right now ? +No . Why don't you check out the newspaper ? +Ok . Maybe you should invite your sister along , too . +What ’ s on TV tonight ? +Not much , that new reality-TV show , Ally McNeal , oooo , Dark Angel . +Wait a second . I want to watch Ally McNeal . +Oh , come on . That ’ s such a girl ’ s show . +No it ’ s not . It ’ s just funny . +Yeah , if you ’ re a girl . +Well , you just want to watch Dark Angel because of the hot girl . +That ’ s not true . Dark Angel is a good show . +It ’ s story is just an excuse to get the girl dressed up in different tight outfits . +O . K . , O . K . Let ’ s forget it . There ’ s a football game on too . +No way . I ’ m watching Ally McNeal . Go to John ’ s to watch the game . +It ’ s really terrible ! +What are you talking about ? +Don ’ t you see many parents are forcing there children ’ s hands to learn something they think important to their children . But the children are not interested in it at all . +You said it . Many parents just don ’ t know how to educate their children . +Sarah , what did you do today ? +I went shopping . +Did you buy anything ? +Yes , I bought a few things . +What did you buy ? +I bought this coat . Do you like it ? +Yeah , I like it a lot . It's very pretty . Where did you buy it ? +At the mall on 5th street . +Was it expensive ? +No , it wasn't expensive . It was on sale for 20 dollars . +That's cheap . +I know . It was a really good deal . +I don't think you'll need to wear it for a while . It's been really hot lately . +Hi , Victor . How are you ? +Oh , I'm fine . +So , are you going to go to class tonight ? +Maybe ... but I don't think so . +Really ? What's the matter ? +I don't know . I'm just feeling a little sad . +Listen . Come with me to class , and after class we can go out for dinner . +Now that's a good idea . Thanks a lot , Brian . I'm feeling better already . +How's John doing ? +He can barely make ends meet . +The Phoenix team overpowered its counterpart 86 to 50 . +They're absolutely right to get a replacement for 21 . +If the Phoenix beats the Rocket , it will enter the final . +No way , if it still has 21 . +What's that book you have under your arm ? +It's the best seller everyone's been talking about for the last six months . +How in the world did you get a copy ? I've put a hold on it at the public library for weeks and I'm still waiting my turn . +I checked it out of the rental library . It only costs five cents a day . +Is it really worth paying for ? +I can't tell yet . I haven't got beyond the first chapter . +If it's any good , I'll buy a copy when it comes out in the pocket edition . +Come on , you are left behind ! +Wow , I can't catch my breath . You are running too fast , honey . +You just need more exercise . +Yes , but you need to slow down . This is jogging , not racing ! +I don't care . I want to burn up my fat . +But running so fast is not good for people over forties . +Why ? +We are not as athletic as we were when young . Mild exercise is more suitable for us . +But I want to burn up more calories ! +In fact , in order to burn up your fat , you must take it slowly for a longer time . +Really ? I will slow down then . +Hello , Daisy , how are you doing ? +Fine , thank you . I haven ’ t seen you for quite some time . What have you been up to recently ? +I have been spending a lot of time watching movies at home , so you wouldn't have seen me . Recently , I've been obsessed with horror films . +Oh , how can you be infatuated with horror films ? They're so scary . +Yeah , you are right I used to not watch horror films , but after seeing Silence of the Lamb with Mike last month , I fell in love with them . +It's amazing . But if I were you , I wouldn't have the courage to watch the first one . +But it's really exciting . +Maybe , but I would rather watch romance , science fiction , crime or even disaster movie instead of a horror picture . I wouldn't dare sleep at night after watching one . +Basically . you'll watch any type of movie except horror . +Yep . +I think you should have a try someday . Maybe you'll change your mind . +Maybe . After all , I am grown up now . +It's hard to be optimistic about things with the way the economy's headed ... The trade deficit is getting larger , consumption's down , I really think we're headed for a recession . +The economy has been stagnant for a while now . We've been in a recessive state for several months already . What worries me the most is the trade deficit . I think the government should do more to encourage exports . +Increasing exports would weaken the currency . I think the main point is economic growth . We need more jobs . Factories have outsourced and moved many jobs to foreign countries . The result is an increase in unemployment in our own country , lower consumption , lower production , and an overall feeble economy . If more people are working , it will give the economy a boost . +It's true that we should do something about unemployment , but what about inflation ? If unemployment falls , there's pressure to increase pay . That would result in inflation , which would result in a much less dynamic economy . +Are you an art aficionado ? +Not really . I like going to an art exhibition once or twice a year . I hardly know anything about art or sculpture . You are a true art lover , aren ’ t you ? +I love going to art galleries , particularly when one is holding an exhibition of abstract art . +I never understand the meaning of those painting . They are too abstract for me . I didn ’ t pay much attention in art class at school . +Art isn ’ t for everyone . I ’ m going to an exhibition tomorrow at the national gallery . It ’ s an exhibition of greek and roman sculpture . +I like sculpture , especially that from ancient rome or Greece . What time are you thinking of going ? I ’ d love to go with you . +I thought I ’ d have an early lunch and go immediately afterwards . Does that sound ok to you ? Bus 51 goes directly there . +That sounds fine . What time shall we meet at the bus stop ? +Let ’ s meet at 12 thirty . it will probably take us three or four hours to see all of the exhibits . +What does your mother do , may I ask ? +My mother works in a company as an accountant . +Is she busy ? +Not always , she's rather busy at the end of the year . +Hello , Bessie . +Hello , Jack.Happy birthday ! +My birthday ? I forgot it , Thank you for remembering my birthday . +I'd like to offer you my congratulations on your birthday and best wishes for your future happiness , good health and continued success . I've asked the Fairy Flowers to send you a bunch of flowers . I hope you'll like them . +Thanks a lot . I'm so touched . +Now let me sing " Happy birthday " for you . +Thank you very much . +Nice day , isn't it ? +It sure is . +It's a good day for a picnic . +Why don't you sit down and relax , darling ? +I don't want to . +Well , come over and talk to me then . +Certainly not . +May I turn on the TV then ? +Turn on the TV for what ? +So that we can sit down together and listen to some music . +Listen to the music ? And who will cook dinner , will you ? +I will , but let's go to the disco after dinner . +To a disco ? Oh , no . You know I hate it . +Diane Grant ? I haven't seen you for ages ! +Brian ! How have you been ? +Pretty good . Say , you've really changed ! +Oh , well , I've lost some weight . And my hair is longer than before . +Well , you look great ! How are you ? +I'm doing really well . I got married about three years ago . I have two kids now . +That's terrific ! +How is your new dormitory ? +It's very nice . There are only four people , and those girls are very kind and friendly . +Well , do you all major in the same subject ? +No , the other three girls major in a computer science , and they can help me a lot with the computer operating . +That's great ! +Peter , how often do you exercise ? +Well , I swim and run every day . +Now , tell me , what do you eat ? +Well , I don't eat any meat , but I do eat fish and eggs . +Do you eat a lot of vegetables ? +Oh yes , and fruit , I love fruit . +What do you drink ? +Well , I never drink alcohol , coffee or tea . They are very bad for you . +What ’ s the Mountaineering Club doing this weekend ? +We are going to climb a cliff on the Colorado River . +How hard is the climb ? +It is a very difficult climb because there are not many places to put your hands and feet . +What did you do last week ? +We rappelled down the side of 300 - foot cliff . It was very exciting . +Wow ! That sounds like a lot of fun . I ’ m sorry I missed it . +Well , you should come this weekend . I think you could do the climb . +Yeah , I will . See you then ! +O . K . See you . +How many languages can you speak ? +I can speak French and German . +How well can you speak them ? +I can speak German quite well , but I can't speak French very well . +Can you help me to translate these sentences into German now ? +No , but I'll be able to tomorrow . +Gross ! What are you doing to yourself ? +Chill ! I'm just curling my eyelashes . +It looks like some kind of primitive form of torture . +You're such a wimp ! You're afraid of an eyelash curler . +Well , you might pinch your eyelid ! Or lose an eyeball ! +It just makes my eyelashes curl upwards . +Do you really have to work today ? +Yes . I'm afraid so . +But you'll miss out on the football game . +Oh . Well , it can't be helped . +How smart of you to book the tickets before hand ! +Oh , do you really think so ? +Of course , otherwise you ’ ll just have to wait for hours . +But I just got a call from my sister and I have to cancel the movie tonight . +I had an accident . +That's terrible ! +I found a new job after all , and I like this one even better than the last . +You see ? Every cloud has a silver lining . +Tom , I won first prize in the poetry contest . +Come on ! You're pulling my leg . +Really ! Here's my trophy . +Wow ! Congratulations ! +What a beautiful watch . It goes very well with your ring . +Thank you . +Is that your wedding ring ? +I'm not married yet . It's my engagement ring . +Well , congratulations . When is the big date ? +In June . +Did you have the watch before getting the ring ? +Actually , we bought the ring together after I got the watch . +You did a fabulous job with the selection . It's gorgeous . +Thank you so much . +What kind of watch is it ? +It's a Tag Heer . +If you don't mind me asking , how much do they cost ? +This one is $ 1500 . But they range from $ 600 to $ 3000 . +That's why it looks so nice . I should have figured . You always get what you pay for . +Yeah . I would rather get one nice watch instead of 20 mediocre ones . +I'm really mad at Bob . +What for ? ( Why ? ) +Hi , Jack , how have you been ? +Not very well . +Why ? Looks like you're feeling very down ! What happened ? +Nothing . +Come on . For a man who's feeling so , down , there're usually two reasons . Either his career is going downhill , or he has a broken heart . Since you're so successful , it must be the latter . +Well , you're right . I just broke up with Jane . +Oh , I'm sorry . I thought you two were made for each ocher . +Well , you never know . I'm ready for a commitment and want to settle down , but she says she wants to pursue her career while she's still young . +Well , she is not to blame . It's always difficult to choose between career and family . +Maybe you're right . +Jack , I don't know what to say to comfort you , but cheer up ! There are plenty of fish in the sea and you'll find your soul mate , your perfect match ! +Yeah , but it's hard to forget her at moment . You know , we were together for almost five years . It's really hard ... +Do you know Sally ? +Sally . She is a bachelor girl . She is an excellent designer . Many of the company's advertisements are her child trains . +Why is she still single ? She must have a face that would stop clock . +Oh , quite the other way round . She is a knock-out . She devotes much of her time to her career . +Excuse me . Do you have the time ? +My watch is a few minutes fast . It's about six forty , I think . +Is it ? Oh , no . The concert will begin in twenty minutes . Are we too late to get there ? +If we start now , we can make it by taxi . +Did you watch the volleyball match last night ? +Yeah . +Who won ? +China . +What is the score ? +China beat Brazil three to zero . +Wonderful . +What do you mean ? If he was a good programmer , he should have been raking it in . +The boss wanted to pay Bob with stock options . But Bob didn't want to play that game again . +Again ? +At his last start-up , Bob worked for stock and no salary . They folded and he made zip . +Ouch . +Now he only works freelance . Hundred bucks an hour . +You mustn't touch the wet paint , Bill . +I'm sorry . I won't do it again . +Try to be more careful in future . Look ! you've damaged the sign . +Is this the sign ? What does it says ? +It says No smoking here . +Good morning . I ’ m from the New York book review . Could I ask you some questions about your latest book ? +Sure . Take a seat ... what would you like to know ? +First , I ’ Ve heard that your latest book is based on a true story . +That ’ s correct . It ’ s a murder mystery based on actual murders that book place in Florida several years ago . The main character-the police invesigator-is based on the man who investigated the case . +How do you research your books ? +I always visit the places that I use as setting for stories . Readers like things to be as factually correct as possible-even in fiction ! I usually base my characters on people I have met . Most character are a mixture of the characters of two or more people . +I really like your books . I ’ Ve just finished this one . I read it from cover to cover in a single day . Congratulation on making the bestseller list yet again ! +Thank you . Let met sign it for you ... there you go . +Oh ! Thank you very much . I heard that you are currently writing a collection of short stories . What are the stories about ? +There ’ s a real mix of stories in the book . I haven ’ t finished all of them yet , though . Many of them are short detective stories , but there are also horror stories and sci-fi ones . If you give me your business card , I ’ ll make sure you get an advance copy to review . +Thanks very much . I ’ m sure it will sell well . I can ’ t wait to read it . Here ’ s my card . Thank you for you time . +What shall I call him ? +Oh , you may call him Uncle , or Henry . +What's he doing ? +He's checking bags.He ' s an official in the customs . +For the 100th anniversary of the opening of the library we are going to have a party . +That's a wonderful way to celebrate this grand old library ! +I hoped you would be willing to brainstorm with me for party ideas . +That is right up my alley . You say party and I'm there . +Perfect . It will be open to the public and we anticipate roughly about five to seven hundred people . +Will it be an all day event ? +Yes . And we checked with the city and we have permission to use the park adjacent to the library . +That was quick thinking . +I'm so glad I bought this watch ! +Cool ! Flashy red lines ! +I think this is the coolest watch I've ever owned . +Is it waterproof ? +Isn't that a silly question ? You know how much of an athlete I am . +Uh , huh ... so what kind of sports do you need a waterproof watch for ? +Well , surfing , scuba diving ... +Do you take a bus to and from work ? +Yeah , everyday . And there ’ s only one choice . All the other buses are going the other direction . +Hmm . I have the same problem . When I leave work , it ’ s always rush hour . So the buses are always crowded . +Oh , yeah , it ’ s terrible . I will tell you the funniest thing I have seen in China . It ’ s when so many people try to get onto one city bus , and the last guy is squeezed in so tight that the door is tightly pressed against his butt . +That sounds terrible the way you describe it . But you know , not long ago I really suffered on the bus . +What happened ? Were you having a hard time getting on a bus ? +You just can ’ t imagine ! I waited for the first bus but it was too full , so I waited for the second , and it was still very crowded . Then I decided not to wait for the next one , and got on the second bus . It was so full that I had to stand on one foot ! No kidding ! +Hmm . Good exercise , uh ? +Yeah , absolutely ! +And it ’ s so much fun . One day , the bodies were so tightly packed that some girl ’ s behind was pressed against my front . I was afraid to put my hands down for fear of accidentally groping her . +You were so happy , weren ’ t you ? +What do you think ? I ’ m a good boy . +We are going to have a picnic tomorrow at the picnic center . +That's great . +Now let's get things ready . +Don't worry . There are all kinds of things in the center . +That's much more convenient . We don't even have to bring the flavorings . +Look ! Mom , that's amazing ! I can't believe the girls have so neat movements . +Yeah , they all received very strict training . A minute on the stage takes ten-year practice . +And all their movements are so elegant . It seems like dancing in the water . +Exactly , you know , water ballet puts dancing , music and swimming together . +There you go ! Daddy has told me that water ballet is also called Synchronized Swimming . +That's my boy ! Katherine Curtis created this activity in 1920 . And in 1984 , it was authorized as one activity in Olympic Games . +Wow , Mom is more knowledgeable than Dad . I must learn from you . +My little boy , you should learn more from me . I'm almost thirty years older than you . +OK , you're the boss . Look , Mom , one guy has just jumped into the swimming pool . +Oh , my God . It's so dangerous . And he might break his leg . You mustn't do anything like that . +It seems that nobody in your class likes Paul . +The boy is good for nothing . +As a teacher , I don ’ t know how to help him . +He is hopeless . +Hey Rachael , what's up ? How is your day ? +Not bad.We have had a big meeting today , remember ? +Oh , yea . I forgot.So how did it go ? +Pretty well . I think the boss liked my ideas . +Great , so what happens now ? +Well , I have to write the proposal . I'm pretty excited about it . +Do you believe in UFOs ? +Of course , they are out there . +But I never saw them . +Are you stupid ? They are called UFOs , so not everybody can see them . +You mean that you can them . +That's right . I can see them in my dreams . +They come to the earth ? +No . Their task is to send the aliens here from the outer space . +Aliens from the outer space ? Do you talk to them ? What do they look like ? +OK , OK , one by one , please ! They look like robots , but they can speak . Their mission is to make friends with human beings . +That means that you talk to them ? In which language ? +Of course in English , they learn English on Mars too . +Wow . Sounds fantastic ! +You look so happy , Anna . Any good news ? +Yes . I ’ Ve won the first prize in the math contest . +Really ? Congratulations ! +Thank you , Paul . +By the way , would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow evening ? Tomorrow is my birthday . +Good , happy birthday to you ! +Not so soon . It ’ s not my birthday today . Well , you ’ ll come , won ’ t you ? +Sure , I will . Thank you for inviting me . +My pleasure . +Do you have a minute ? +Sure . What's up ? +Hey , May , look , Is that the the poster of the movie we saw yesterday ? +Yes , that's right . That's the poster of the The Witch . +May , I really regret watching it with you last night . +Did it scare you ? +Of course not . I just thought the movie was ... boring . +Boring ? Come on , you clutched to my arm all the time . +Well , I admit . The ghosts were scary . +I like scary movies . +That's Gucci's influence . I love science fiction movies ! +Of course you do . They are silly stories just for little kids like you . +Don't call me kid . I am a grownup . +Do you dare watch scary movies with me tonight ? +Of course ! I can watch them without you ! +Oh , really ? +What is your nationality ? +I am Chinese by birth . +Where is your domicile place ? +My domicile place is Hebes Province . +I know you have a son . How old is he ? +He's going to turn six next month . +Who is looking after him ? +My mother-in - law . She retired last year . +You really are lucky ! +Yeah , I know . +Say , what's your favorite sport ? +Mmmm ... it's hard to say . I like golf a lot-but I guess I like tennis better . +Do you play much tennis ? +Yes , quite a bit . How about a game sometime ? +Sorry . I'm strictly a spectator-football , baseball , basketball , golf ... I watch them all . +So Janet , do you do any sports ? +Well , I go to the gym a lot . I am a member of a gym nearby . +Yeah , how often do you go ? +About three times a week if I can . +Not bad ! Do you do any other sports ? +Not really . I ’ d really like to try golf , though . +Hello , Ken . +Hello , George . +Have you just been to the cinema ? +Yes , I have . +What ’ s on ? +Paris in the Spring . +Oh , I ’ Ve already seen it . I saw it on television last year . It ’ s an old film , but it ’ s very good . +Paris is a beautiful city . I have never been there . Have you ever been there , Ken ? +Yes , I have . I was there in April . +Paris in the spring , eh ? +It was spring , but the weather was awful . It rained all the time . +Just like dear old London ! +They got a divorce at last . +It's inevitable . Their love wasbuilt on the sand , and this is why their marriage has landed on the rocks . +You said it . Love but on the sand will soon be on the rocks . +That give us a good lesson . +Where are you going ? +I'll accompany my wife to the hospital . +What's wrong with her . +She is expecting . +Congratulations to you . +Thank you . +I can ’ t stand being with you anymore . I'm sick of your drinking . +I swear never to drink again . Just give me another chance , please ! +How many chances have I given you ? I don ’ t trust you any more . +You know how hard I've tried to give up drinking ? I ’ d be lost without you . I won ’ t let you go anyway . +Are there any interesting stories in the newspaper today ? +There are a few stories about natural disasters . There is a massive forest fire in Australia . It covers several square kilometers of land has destroyed many more square kilometers . +Was it caused accidentally or naturally ? Sometimes it gets so hot that fires begin naturally in Australia and Africa . +Nobody knows at the moment , but it has been very hot there recently . The drought in Africa is causing starvation . Millions of people have migrated to try and find food . +What is the international community doing to help ? +The European union has sent several plants with relief supplies . Several countries have sent soldiers to distribute food and medical supplies . Refugee camps have been set up across the region . +How many countries have been affected ? +Six have been seriously affected , but the refugees are also migrating to several surrounding countries . +I saw on the tv yesterday that there has been another earthquake in iran . +Yes . There have been a few there recently . They say that this one was not a big quake . The Iranians are dealing with it on their own . They have purchased some special equipment to find people buried u +Does the newspaper say anything about casualties ? +So far , less than 20 people have died , but over 100 are in hospital . +Is this a photo of your family ? +Yes , it is.It was taken just before I was leaving for college . +You look so lovely . +How time flies ! I'll not see twenty again . +I heard you've found a new job . +Yes , I'm now working in a company . +So you're quite happy with your new job ? +Right . I enjoy what I'm doing . +Would you come to spend the weekend with us ? +Oh , I ’ m afraid I can ’ t . I ’ Ve had a date already . +That ’ s too bad . +May be some other time . +You received a letter in the mail . +Give it here . +Who ’ s the letter from ? +I think it ’ s my acceptance letter from NYU . +I want to know what it says . +They didn ’ t accept me . +Are you serious ? +It ’ s the truth . +Are you okay ? +I really wanted to get into NYU . +I am really sorry to hear that . +It ’ s okay . I ’ m still waiting to hear from UCLA anyway . +Why are you so quiet ? +My girlfriend just broke up with me . +You must feel terrible now . +Yeah . +I remember my first break up . It was the worst feeling in the world . I was crying everyday for three months . And slowly , it got better . I know you'll feel better too . +You've been through this too ? +Yeah . I remember it very clearly . The pain makes it easy to remember . I know you're really hurting right now , but you know many people experience break ups . +But it hurts too much . +I know it's painful , but it's only temporary . After the pain goes away , you'll find other girls . +What if I don't want to find another girl ? +You'll change your mind . Look at everyone in the world . They all break up and move on . The faster you understand this , the quicker you will recover . +You're right . +I also know you must still have strong feelings for her , but try to think of all the bad things . You know she didn't treat you that well . Is that the person you want to spend the rest of your life with ? +Yeah . Thanks for the talk . +I'll give you a call later . We should hang out . It's good to be around people . +Ok . I'll talk to you later . +Excuse me , what do you want for this bag ? +Let me see . The one goes for $ 17 . +Would you take $ 12 ? +No , I can ’ t let you have it for 12.How about 14 ? +13.50 ? +Sorry , $ 14 is the lowest I can go . +I ’ m afraid I spoke in all of the table clock . +Never mind about that . +I ’ m terribly sorry , Won ’ t you let me pay for ? +No , I won ’ t hear of it . +A :: Mr Clinton , it's nice to see you again . +Nice to see you again , too . Peter . How's your family ? +A :: Very well . How's Mrs Clinton ? +Not bad , But she's as busy as before . +Whatever we do , we should do it above board . +You are right . We shouldn't do anything under the table . +Well , since you agree with me , we should put the issue above board instead of talking about through other channels . +Morning , Zina . Just wanted to say thanks again ! +Hi , Vince . Thanks for stopping by . How's the work coming along for the online auction ? +Oh , yeah . I'm glad you mentioned that . I think we need to hire somebody new to manage it . +Can't Elvin handle it ? +I think he's got too much on his plate . +This is the best dinner I've ever had . +How about the soup ? +I've never tasted anything better . +How nice of you to say so . +Hey Nick , what are you up to ? +Not much , just heading over to the shooting range . You wanna come ? +Seriously ? You mean to fire a real weapon ? I don ’ t know man . +Yeah , it will be fun ! I have a 9mm pistol that is really easy to shoot . I also have a revolver that ’ s really fun too ! They have big targets at the range that we could use to practice and improve your aim . +Yeah that would be cool ! Maybe I can also have a try at other weapons like a machine gun or a shotgun ! Maybe even a rocket launcher or an anti tank missile ! Or what about a flame thrower ! +Whoa , take it easy there Rambo . Don ’ t get carried away . These weapons are not toys , and you must first learn how to handle them properly . There are basic rules that you must abide by in order to be safe . For example , never handle a weapon that you haven ’ t inspected yourself . Always make sure there isn ’ t anything in the chamber , and never put your finger on the trigger unless you are ready to shoot ! +Wow , I didn ’ t know ! It always looks so cool and easy in the movies ! +The reality is different you know , running and firing a weapon is a lot harder than in the movies ! So are you ready ? +Let ’ s do it ! +Hi , Jim . How are you ? I haven ’ t seen you for a while . +I ’ m fine . I ’ Ve been out of town . I just got back . +Where were you ? +I was in New York for a wedding . +Broadway Mall is having a big sale this weekend . You wanna go ? +Don't feel like it . I'm broke . +Well , we can still do some window shopping , can't we ? +Just look around ? Ah , that's boring . +I'll go myself then . +What's the problem , Nada ? You look down in the dumps . +I don't know . My life is a big mess . Everything is so complicated . +come on , nothing can be that bad . +but promise me , you'll keep it a secret . +ok , I promise . So what's troubling you so much ? +I've fallen in love with my boss . +really ? Is he married ? +no , of course not . He is still single . +then what's your problem ? +I try to keep it to myself . But there is a lot of gossip about us . +oh , I see . Office romance tends to be the subject of gossip . +worse still , he is trying to avoid me these days . +office romance is very tricky . +it gives me a lot of pressure and I feel depressed . +cheer up , Nada . You'll be fine . +You're not looking happy . What's the matter ? +Oh , nothing special . I'm just a bit tired . +With the job ? +With everything , with everybody , with all this ! +A good suggestion for you . You need a holiday . +It wasn't always like this , you know . +What do you mean ? +Well , I mean . We always do the same thing . There's no variety in our lives . +You need a holiday . That's what's the matter . +Certainly , perhaps . +I wonder what he looks like . Oh , I can't wait to see him ! His email said he'd be wearing a white hat . ( looking around for him ) oh , there is . +Hey , Isabelle ... +Logan ! Why on earth are you hiding here ? White hat ! Come on ! Don't tell me you're the guy ! It can't be true . +Yes , I am the guy . +What a bummer ! You set me up ? +Let me explain . I didn't mean to hurt you ... +How dare you ! ( starts to walk off ) +Hang on one second . Hear me out , just this once , Isabella ! +Why did you lie to me in the email ? +I didn't lie . You just didn't ask me my real name . +I should have known it was you . No wonder all the 20 questions were answered correctly . I thought I might have found the one for me . +I'm sorry . It was cruel of me . But I promise it will never happen again ? Look , there's a nice restaurant . Let me take you to dinner and we can talk things over . +Peter , how often do you exercise ? +Well , I swim and run every day . +Now , tell me , what do you eat ? +Well , I don't eat any meat , but I do eat fish and eggs . +Do you eat a lot of vegetables ? +Oh yes , and fruit , I love fruit . +What do you drink ? +Well , I never drink alcohol , coffee or tea . They are very bad for you . +What do you drink ? +Did you watch the volleyball match last night ? +Yeah . +Who won ? +China . +What was the score ? +China beat Brazil 3 to 0 . +Wonderful ! +Even if our company didn't have a dress code , I still think people would wear formal clothing to work . +I wouldn't be so sure ... People want to wear what they feel most comfortable in . +Maybe that's true for some positions , but I think the marketing and sales staff would definitely not agree . They dress for success ! You can't go out on a sales call if you are dressed in jeans . It's just not respectful to you client . +I think what you wear is so overrated . I would rather have a down-to-earth , honest and solid sales person than a painted , patent leather , designer suite salesman . +It's not as simple as that . People judge you by your appearance , whether you like it or not . So dressing professional is being professional . The image that you portray to others is so important in business . It's your image and how others perceive you that makes the difference between landing or losing a sale . +Maybe you're right , but I'll take my sneakers and jeans any day ! +Isn't it wonderful walking here ? +What do you mean ? +I mean look at all these magnificent buildings around us . +Yes , look over there . That's the Empire State Building . My book says it's 102 stories tall . +It's quite famous but don't you think it looks a bit old-fashioned ? +You're right , but when it was built in 1930 it was a marvel of technology and engineering . +What other important buildings are we going to see on Fifth Avenue ? +Quite a number . Actually every skyscraper has a history . A few blocks ahead we'll see St.Patrick ' s Cathedral and just across the street will be the world-renowed Rockefeller Center . It's a landmark in the history of architecture . +What's there after that ? +Well then , there's a Central Park . Facing the park on Fifth Avenue is probably some of the most expensive properties in the world . +What are they all for ? +Most of them are office buildings , huge department stores , and hotels but some are just private homes . New York is one of the financial centers of the world . And there are lots of very expensive places . +Hey Kevin , what are you doing here ? Don't you usually spend Tuesday nights at home studying ? +I needed to get out of the house . My parents just went ballistic over something my older sister told them . +What did she tell them ? Is she dropping out of college ? +Nothing that serious . She finally told them that she moved out of the dormitory a few months ago and has been living with her boyfriend . +And your parents took it badly ? +That's putting it mildly . My father started shouting at my sister and my mother just glared at her . +Ouch , that sounds bad . What did your sister do ? +She started arguing back to my dad that how much she loves her boyfriend , how they're in love and it's not hurting anybody , and so on . My dad said she's too young to do this , and that she should move out right away . +How long has your sister been with her boyfriend ? +Three years . They've been dating since freshman year . They're even talking about marriage . +Really ? Then I guess living together would be a good idea . +What do you mean ? +Well , these days too many people are getting divorced . If they live together , then at least they're finding out if they're really compatible or not . +I guess so . Better to find out now than after you're married , when it's harder to get out . +Do you think they two will get married ? +Yeah , you can count on it . +I think so . Yes , they get along so well . +I like him . He's good for her . +You're right . He sure is . +What do you think of Frank ? +He is all right . But I think he seems to have no back bone . +Why do you say that ? +Whatever things get tough , he gives in . +Uh-oh . We don't have a flashlight . +Don't worry . We'll make it back to the camp site before dark . +I sure hope so . +Do you speak only English in the class , or does your teacher explain everything to you in Spanish ? +Oh , we never speak Spanish in class ! Miss.Parker speaks to us only in English . +I suppose she's right . Does she speak English very slowly ? +Not always . Sometimes we don't understand her . Then she has to repeat what she said . +It must be interesting to study English . +Mario and I are the best students in the class . Miss.Parker says that my pronunciation is very good . +Is English pronunciation easy or difficult ? +Sometimes it's difficult . Some words look different from the way one pronounces them . +It's quiet everywhere in winter . +Yes . I like winter . +Me too . +It's snowing heavily . What about taking a walk ? +That's a good idea . Let's go ! +What a heavy snow ! Look ! The water is frozen . +Take care ! Don't slip on the ground . +I've got it . I like the feeling of stepping on the ice . +Yes . Very wonderful . +There is a snowman over there . +How lovely it is ! +Tim's always bothering me . +Just tell him off . +Who are those guys ? +Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O ’ Neal , they are the Los Angeles Lakers ’ star players . +Oh . +Wait a second . He shoots , he scores ! +All right ! +Here comes Jordan , though . +Wow , Michael Jordan ’ s slam-dunks are beautiful things to watch . +Yeah . He ’ s older , so he doesn ’ t slam as much as he did when he was younger , but when he does , it ’ s still amazing . +Which team do you think will win ? +The Lakers . Jordan is the only good player Washington has . +I am sorry to trouble you again , Mr.Stone . +It's ok . What do you want to ask ? +Where should I go after I arrived at the university ? +The first place you should go is the International Center . +Why ? +You can get help there in dealing with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service ; you can find Foreign Student Advisers . +What kind of role do foreign student advisers play ? +They'll discuss personal concerns , housing , adjustment , finances and other matters with you . +Can we get any more help at the International Center ? +Yes , a lot more . If you go there just before the beginning of the fall's semester , you can get your student ID and social security number there . They will keep your documents up-to-date . They will offer an orientation program for new comers . They will also help you contact your department and registration office . +I see . It must be worth going to . +Besides these , the center staff also works with community organizations which provide tours , home hospitality , speaking engagements and assistance for wives of foreign students . In cooperation with nationality clubs , student associations and other organizations , the International Center provides a varied program of cultural and social events throughout the year . +Wonderful . It is a home for foreign students . +It sure is . They also serve tea , coffee and refreshments . The Center staff members are also friendly and helpful . Everyone loves them . +hi , Lander . What's wrong ? +I can hardly make ends meet these days . +same here . I have't brought any new clothes for three months . +my income remains the same but prices just continue to rise . +true . The news says that there is a general increase in the price of daily necessities . +definitely . I have to spend 300 yuan more on food every month . +the biggest price jump is for pork , so most people have to turn to chicken . +is that inflation ? +inflation is more than just the rising prices , I guess . But the central bank is warning about the risk of inflation . +has the government taken some measures to curb it ? +yes . The government has banned price hikes in some key industries like energy . +but I'm afraid the price hikes will spill over from food into other areas of the economy . +you said it . I think we should tighten our budget and cut our spending . +how ? +for a start , we can take the public transport to work . You know , running a car is a big expense . +sounds a good idea . +OK , everyone . Gather around . Here are the rules . No tackling . No pushing . +You shouldn't grab someone else's shirt . That's a foul . +Play is stopped when the person with the ball is touched . +You can touch them only between the shoulder and the knees . +The touchdown lines are there and there . OK , let's play ! +Before we start , let's have a moment of silence for our fallen men . +Have you adapted to the lifestyle in China ? +Yeah , almost . But there is one thing . +What ? +I still wonder what privacy meant for Chinese people . I don't mean to say that there's no privacy in China , but ... +What is it ? +Some of my Chinese colleagues just share their personal stories in front of others . +That makes you feel uncomfortable ? +Yeah . we never do that in a public office . +Perhaps that's because we hold different ideas about privacy . +I have felt that . One day when i was in a queue , reading a newspaper story , the man behind me peered through my shoulder and stared at the newspaper I was holding . +Well , that's not rare . I've seen people reading at others ' newspaper while taking a metro or a bus . +Just stare at the newspaper holding in the hands of the one next to him ? +Yeah . +Oh , I'm shocked . +What courses did you take in college ? +I took a lot of courses , such as Philosophy , Logic , Ethics , Aesthetics , etc . +Which course did you like best ? +I liked Aesthetics best . It is very impressive . +Hi . Have you got a personal computer ? +Certainly . What's the matter ? +I wonder if you often trade with others on the internet . +Sure . I often buy things or do business through it without going out to the physical stores . +Great ! It's just like viewless stores . But how can you shop or order on line or trade on line ? +That's simple . Just click the hyperlink , www.taobao.com or www . ebay.com , and you can see the specimen of the goods shown on the screen , and then you can place an order online with the sales company . And the goods will be delivered to your place . +Is the service charged ? +No . it's free . +Really . I'll get a computer at once . +We are planning to go to Beidaihe for vacation . Do you want to go with us ? +It ’ s so cool ! +Excuse me , is this seat taken ? +I ’ m afraid this seat is taken . +Oh . is it . Thank you anyway . +You ’ re welcome . Why don ’ t you ask the conductor when he comes by ? +Thank you . +I prefer potatoes to eggplants . +I feel eggplants are more nutritious . +But as a matter of fact , potatoes taste better . +Oh , that's how you see it . +Are you sure you can't lend me five thousand dollars ? +Hmm ... I'll tell you what . I'll lend you four thousand dollars , but you have to pay me back next week . +It's a deal . +Where do you plan to go this winter ? +Alps , suppose . +Oh , yes , you like skiing . +Right . +Every time when heroes came back from the battlefield , we took our hats off to them . +You were showing respect and admiration for them . +I wish I were a hero . +Frank ’ s getting married , do you believe this ? +Is he really ? +Yes , he is . He loves the girl very much . +Who is he marring ? +A girl he met on holiday in Spain , I think . +Have they set a date for the wedding ? +Not yet . +OK . Come back into the classroom , class . +Does the class start again , Mam ? +Yes , but to the heath , this break has long enough . +Oh , breaktime flies . +Come on , baby . It ’ s time now . +Mam , another minute , could I ? +Hurry up , little boy . +Do you have any hobbies ? +Yes , I like collecting things . +Oh , that ’ s interesting , and but what kind of things ? +Several things , for example , Very coins , stamps , stones and so on . +Stones ? I know many people collecting coins and stamps but stones ? +Yes , stones . +well , I can ’ t just imagine it . +Jenny , what's wrong with you ? Why do you keep weeping like that ? +Mary told me that she had seen you with John last night . I got to know the fact that you are playing the field . +Honey , cross my heart , I'v never looked at another woman since the first day I set my eyes on you ! Believe me , that's the truth . +What a nice day ! +yes . How about going out and enjoying the sunshine on the grass ? +great , let's go ! +hey , darling , I think I might have a little heatstroke from being in the sun all day . I was so relaxed . It felt as if I were in another world . +exactly . You know , the sunshine and wind remind me of our honeymoon . You remember ? The island , the sound of the waves , the salty sea air and the sunshine ... +yes , it was wonderful but it's already been a year . How time flies ! +why not go again to celebrate out one-year anniversary ? We can go to the same beach , stay in the same hotel and enjoy a dinner in the same restaurant . +are you kidding ? Can you afford it ? Do you think we can get a room on such short notice ? +never mind that , I'll take care of it . Are you available next week ? +yeah , I think so . +ok . I'll make the arrangements . It will be great . +wonderful ! I'll start packing our suitcases . \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/dailydialog/train_labels.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/dailydialog/train_labels.txt new file mode 100644 index

beers after dinner ? +You know that is tempting but is really not good for our fitness . +What do you mean ? It will help us to relax . +Do you really think so ? I don't . It will just make us fat and act silly . Remember last time ? +I guess you are right.But what shall we do ? I don't feel like sitting at home . +I suggest a walk over to the gym where we can play singsong and meet some of our friends . +That's a good idea . I hear Mary and Sally often go there to play pingpong.Perhaps we can make a foursome with them . +Sounds great to me ! If they are willing , we could ask them to go dancing with us.That is excellent exercise and fun , too . +Good.Let ' s go now . +All right . +Can you do push-ups ? +Of course I can . It's a piece of cake ! Believe it or not , I can do 30 push-ups a minute . +Really ? I think that's impossible ! +You mean 30 push-ups ? +Yeah ! +It's easy . If you do exercise everyday , you can make it , too . +Can you study with the radio on ? +No , I listen to background music . +What is the difference ? +The radio has too many comerials . +That's true , but then you have to buy a record player . +Are you all right ? +I will be all right soon . I was terrified when I watched them fall from the wire . +Don't worry.He is an acrobat 。 +I see . +Hey John , nice skates . Are they new ? +Yeah , I just got them . I started playing ice hockey in a community league . So , I finally got myself new skates . +What position do you play ? +I ’ m a defender . It ’ s a lot of fun . You don ’ t have to be able to skate as fast on defense . +Yeah , you ’ re a pretty big guy . I play goalie , myself . +Oh , yeah ? Which team ? +The Rockets . +Really ? I think we play you guys next week . Well , I have to go to practice . See you later . +All right , see you later . +Hey Lydia , what are you reading ? +I ’ m looking at my horoscope for this month ! My outlook is very positive . It says that I should take a vacation to someplace exotic , and that I will have a passionate summer fling ! +What are you talking about ? Let me see that ... What are horoscopes ? +It ’ s a prediction of your month , based on your zodiac sign . You have a different sign for the month and date you were born in . I was born on April 15th , so I ’ m an Aries . When were you born ? +January 5th . +Let ’ s see . . . you ’ re a Capricorn . It says that you will be feeling stress at work , but you could see new , exciting developments in your love life . Looks like we ’ ll both have interesting summers ! +That ’ s bogus . I don't feel any stress at work , and my love life is practically nonexistent . This zodiac stuff is all a bunch of nonsense . +No , it ’ s not , your astrology sign can tell you a lot about your personality . See ? It says that an Aries is energetic and loves to socialize . +Well , you certainly match those criteria , but they ’ re so broad they could apply to anyone . What does it say about me ? +A Capricorn is serious-minded and practical . She likes to do things in conventional ways . That sounds just like you ! +Frank ’ s getting married , do you believe this ? +Is he really ? +Yes , he is . He loves the girl very much . +Who is he marring ? +A girl he met on holiday in Spain , I think . +Have they set a date for the wedding ? +Not yet . +I hear you bought a new house in the northern suburbs . +That ’ s right , we bought it the same day we came on the market . +What kind of house is it ? +It ’ s a wonderful Spanish style . +Oh , I love the roof tiles on Spanish style houses . +And it ’ s a bargaining . A house like this in river side costs double the price . +Great , is it a two bedroom house ? +No , it has three bedrooms and three beds , and has a living room with a twelve-foot ceiling . There ’ s a two-car garage . +That ’ s a nice area too . It ’ ll be a good investment for you . +Yeas , when will you buy a house ? +Not untill the end of this year , you know , just before my wedding . +Right , congratulations . +Thank you . +Hi , Becky , what's up ? +Not much , except that my mother-in-law is driving me up the wall . +What's the problem ? +She loves to nit-pick and criticizes everything that I do . I can never do anything right when she's around . +For example ? +Well , last week I invited her over to dinner . My husband and I had no problem with the food , but if you listened to her , then it would seem like I fed her old meat and rotten vegetables . There's just nothing can please her . +No , I can't see that happening . I know you're a good cook and nothing like that would ever happen . +It's not just that . She also criticizes how we raise the kids . +My mother-in-law used to do the same thing to us . If it wasn't disciplining them enough , then we were disciplining them too much . She also complained about the food we fed them , the schools we sent them too , and everything else under the sun . +You said she used to ? How did you stop her ? +We basically sat her down and told her how we felt about her constant criticizing , and how we welcomed her advice but hoped she'd let us do our things . She understood , and now everything is a lot more peaceful . +That sounds like a good idea . I'll have to try that . +How are Zina's new programmers working out ? +I hate to admit it , but they're good . And fast . The Filipino kid is a genius . +So you'll make the Stars.com deadline , and have us up and running next week ? +It'll be close , but we'll make it . +Good . After Stars.com starts paying us , we won't need Vikam's cash anymore . +And if we don't need them , we won't need Zina , either . +Do you like cooking ? +Yes . I like cooking very much . I got this hobby when I was 12 years sold . +Why do you like it ? +I have no idea . I like cooking by myself . I like to taste delicious food . +That's wonderful ! +And I love trying new recipes , which I usually test with my friends . You can come , too . +Really ? I hope I can have a chance to taste it . Don't forget to tell me . +Certainly . +Anyone home ? Jen ! +I'm in the kitchen ... let yourself in ! +Wow ! You're really working up a storm ! +I know . I've even worked up a sweat . +You look like a cooking show host--only messier . +You look so tan and healthy ! +Thanks . I just got back from summer camp . +How was it ? +Great . I got to try so many things for the first time . +Like what ? +I went sailing , fishing , and horseback riding . +I ’ m so jealous . +The counselors were so nice too . It was the best summer ever . Except for all those mosquitoes ! +Diana , do you like the perfume I gave you ? +It ’ s good . But to tell you the truth , I don ’ t wear perfume . +I ’ m sorry . I didn ’ t know that . +That ’ s all right . Thank you all the same . +Ah , ah , ah ... +All right , Bill.Here ' s your daily exercise schedule . You are to jog before breakfast . +Jog ? +Then , you are to walk to work . +Walk ? +Thirty minutes in gym at lunch time . +Oh no . +Use the stairs , never the elevator . +Oh , dear . +And three times a week , you can either swim , play racketball , or hand ball . +Oh no . +OK , you can stop now.It ' s time for the dance class . +Dance class ! I don't know how . +You will . +Oh ... +Hi Bill , I saw your grandma yesterday . +Oh where was that ? +I was running around the track at my college and there she was walking around the same track . +Grannie always tries to stay fit and healthy.She is always making us kids eat the proper foods . +Well , it pays off for her.How old is she anyway ? +She will be 86 next month . +That is truly amazing ! +I would like to register for a class today . +No problem , what class would you like to take ? +I would very much enjoy taking a Psychology class.Because I'm crazy . +There are two classes that are still open . +Which days are these classes on ? +The first class is a Tuesday and Thursday class from two to three . +What about the other class ? +The other class is on Monday and Wednesday from 10 am - 12 . +Are you sure there are no more open classes ? +I'm positive . +Sign me up for Monday and Wednesday . +Okay , I'll sign you up . +Dad , why are you taping the windows ? +Honey , a typhoon is coming . +Really ? Wow , I don't have to go to school tomorrow . +Jenny , come and help , we need to prepare more food . +OK . Dad ! I'm coming . +Hi , my name is Lean , and I'm from Russia . +Nice to meet you , Lean . My name is Alike . I'm from Japan . +To me English is a difficult language . +A second language is always difficult . +True , but English is harder than most . It's a crazy language . +A crazy language ? Why do you say that ? +One letter can have several pronunciations and one word can have several meanings . +No wonder you say English is a crazy language . +Can I help you ? +I hope so . I'm looking for some material for a paper I'm writing , and I'm not quite sure where to look . +I'll certainly try to help you . What topic is your paper on ? +My paper is on the influence of television on children . +There are several possible sources you might use for that topic . I suggest you use the computer and the computer will give you a list of every scientific journal that talks about children and television . +Thank you for you help . +Here ’ s your hot dog and beer . What happened ? Did I miss anything ? +Yeah , Cal Ripen just hit a home run . +What ’ s the score ? +Well it was 3 to 4 , but Ripen ’ s home run made it 5 to 4 since another player was on first base . +So Baltimore is winning ? +Right . +This is a really great place to watch a baseball game . +Yeah , there isn ’ t a bad seat in the place . +The fans are great here , too . Not like in Philadelphia . +It was a great idea to spend a day watching a game . +Yeah , it reminds you why they say baseball is America ’ s favorite pastime . +How do you like the pizza here ? +Perfect . It really hits the spot . +Do you have a light ? +Sorry , I don't smoke . +I was scared stiff of giving my first performance . +Were you ? your performance was excellent . +Thank you for your kindly words . +Excuse me . Could you please take a picture of us with this camera ? +Sure . Which button do I press to shoot ? +This one . +Do I have to focus it ? +No , this is a focus-free camera . All you have to do is point and press the button . +All right . Say cheese ! +Every country should face the history . +Yeah , we don ’ t live in the vacuum . We have traditional values and long but different history . +Sometimes , we , human beings , really had done something wrong , so we should admit it at first . +But there is always somebody who wants to turn his back on the true history . +I believe such things won ’ t be realized , just daydreaming . +Do you like traveling , Kathy ? +I like traveling for pleasure to get places for vacation for instance . But I don ’ t like traveling to work , waiting for buses , or ... +Or getting stuck in traffic jams when you ’ re driving . +Exactly . +Your house is too small . Why not buy a big one . +I do wish I could afford one . +You can get a loan from the bank . You know LPF program provides low cost loans for participants home purchases . +Of course I know that . But don't you notice that the house price is skyrocketing ? +How do you do , Prof.Smith . +How do you do , Ms . Yang.You speak very good English . +Thank you . I begin to like English even when I was a child . +Where did you learn it ? +At school , in China.This is my first time to be out of my own country . +It's amazing . +Do you want black or white coffee ? +White , please +Look ! there's a Folk concert tomorrow evening . Do you Want to go ? +I don't like Folk music very much . +What kind of music do you like ? +I like classical music . Do you ? +Not very much . Classical music sends me to sleep +I don't believe you . +It ’ s true . +You are funny ! +So are you ! How about another coffee ? +What do you like to do in your spare time ? +I like playing chess . +Do you have any hobbies besides playing chess ? +I'm afraid not . +Do you have any hobbies like playing tennis or things like that ? +Oh , yes . I like playing basketball . +Can you tell me why you like it ? +Because I like the feeling of cooperating with others . +Where is John ? I can't find him anywhere . +Haven't you heard that he is in prison ? +What ? Beg your pardon . +John is in prison now . He was copped outstealing . +I just cann't believe my ears ! +Can I help you ? +I hope so . I'm looking for some material for a paper I'm writing , and I'm not quite sure where to look . +I'll certainly try to help you.What topic is your paper on ? +My paper is on the influence of television on children . +There are several possible sources you might use for that topic . I suggest you use the computer and the computer will give you a list of every scientific journal that talks about children and television . +Thank you for you help . +Hey , Ted . What are you up to this Friday ? +Well , I have the day off from work . +That ’ s great ! Do you have any plans ? +Well , I ’ Ve been working so hard lately , so I ’ ll probably just take it easy . +Sounds nice . +Yeah , I ’ ll probably just stay in and relax . Maybe watch a few movies . +Can I stop by ? +Sure . Any time . +You honestly believe the world ’ s improving every year ? +Yes , I do . I think that science is making us wiser . What do you think ? +I don ’ t think you ’ re right there . +I believe industry is making us wealthier . +I don ’ t believe that . +And in my opinion , medicine is making us healthier . +I agree with you in the sense . But we ’ re all more miserable than ever , aren ’ t we ? +I don ’ t agree with you . I maintain that we ’ re healthier , wealthier and wiser than we were a hundred years ago . +That ’ s your opinion not mine . +What do you plan to do for your birthday ? +I want to have a picnic with my friends , Mum . +How about a party at home ? That way we can get together and celebrate it . +OK , Mum . I'll invite my friends home . +How may I help you ? +I would like to return this book . +Is that all you need ? +I also want to check out this video . +Is that all you would like to check out ? +That ’ s all I need . +Do you have your library card ? +Here it is . +Make sure to take proper care of this video . +That won ’ t be a problem . +If you damage the video , you will be fined . +I won ’ t damage it . +What's the matter with you then ? You look miserable . +It's us . +What do you mean by us . +Well , you always say you're busy . +That's right . +And you often go back to live with your parents and leave our son in the room by himself . +I ... I ... I miss my parents , also they miss me . +Oh I remember , I cut terrible calls , and you didn't say anything about it . +You mean I am groaned a few words ? +Totally not . Perhaps it's about our marriage . +Hi , Mary . You look pale today . What's the matter with you ? +I think I've caught a cold . Now I'm aching all over . +You'd better take some medicine and have a good rest . I hope you'll be yourself pretty soon . +Thank you . I suppose I should go to see a doctor . +I feel like going for a drink , it's been a long day . +Great idea ! Peter , I could use the drink . +How about the new bar across road ? +Sounds good . The food there is fantastic , too . +I agree , I had lunch there last week . +excellent ! That sounds like a plan . +Could you tell me the right time , please ? +Well . My watch says five past two . But it ’ s no use rely on it because it has been gaining and losing these last a few days . +You have to go and fix it . +Yes . I will . +does your family have a record of your ancestors ? +sure . My mom has been working on our family tree for years . She ’ s always updating it . +do you have a copy of your family tree in your house ? I ’ d love to see it . +I can show it to you now , if you like . I think it goes back about 8 generations so far . +that ’ s amazing . Do you have a large extended family ? +I ’ Ve got 30 cousins on my mom ’ s side and 10 cousins on my dad ’ s side . +are you very close to your first-cousins ? +the ones that are my age are close relatives . Now that I ’ m older , I don ’ t spend as much time with them as I used to , so I don ’ t know my younger cousins as well as the older ones . +I see . who ’ s the head of your household ? +it ’ s definitely my mother . And , her mother is definitely the matriarch of the bigger family . +that ’ s interesting . What does your grandfather think of your step-mother ? +at first , she was quite critical of her , but now that they ’ Ve been married for a few years , she ’ s starting to accept the fact that my father divorced my mother . +that ’ s pretty much how you feel about your step-mother . Like grandmother , like grandson . +Hi , Mr . Wang . Do you feel like going boating with me ? +Sounds interesting , I haven't gone boating for some time now , and what time ? +How about tomorrow afternoon ? +Sure . Where shall I meet you ? +At the gate of the park . +Great . I look forward to meeting you . +See you then . +See you . +I hear that you've been to the Saikei Ski Resort for the weekend . Did you enjoy it ? +Yes , it's so exciting , though I had the most falls in our skiing team . +Isn't there any coach to teach you how to ski ? +Of course there is . The top-level coaches there are from the State Sports General Administration . +Could you move smoothly ? +Yes.My face even ached in the icy wind . +What happened afterwards ? +I was skiing on and on excitedly until I realized one thing-I could not stop ! You can just imagine how terrified I was . +Poor girl ! +You look pale recently . +Yeah . I have got much pressure in the company . I have tobe wrapped upon my work . +Take good care of yourself . +Thank you . I will . +Hey , Maggy , Did you hear about David ? +About David ? No , I didn ’ t hear anything . +You know , about David and his new boss . +Sorry , I don ’ t quite follow you . +Well , I heard David has been fired . +Oh , that is a shame . He is really hard working . +how do you usually get to school ? +I usually ride my bike . Which form of transport do you prefer to use ? +I feel that I can see more when I pedal a bicycle , but when I feel lazy , I drive my car . +I think we should discourage people from using their private cars . They produce too much pollution ! +I agree , but I would find it difficult to stop using my car . It's just so convenient . +cars might be convenient , but they're so bad for the environment . +do you have a car ? +no . I used to have one though . Once I started using my bicycle to get around , I found that I didn't really need it . +maybe if I sold my car now , I wouldn't be so tempted to use it . +you could try . It would save you a lot of money . +that's true . Every month , I spend hundreds of dollars on gas , insurance , and repairs . +if you got to class by riding a bicycle every day instead of driving , you will get lots of exercise , too ! +I could stand to lose a few pounds . Having a car has made me lazy . I never end up walking anywhere ! +let's go to a car dealership . I'll help you try to sell your car for a good price . +sounds good ! Let's go ! +What's wrong with him ? +His nose is out of joint because we forgot to invite him to the party . +What are you going to do for one year abroad , Tom ? +Study , study , study . I want to learn a lot . +You are going to take courses ? +Yes . I am going to take some university courses there . +Sounds hard . +Yes , but I think it's probably for the best . +Won ’ t you get lonely ? +Hey , I am a pretty cool guy . I will make friends , and I'll have a lot of extracurricular activities too . You know , like fencing , or theater or something . +Isn't this lovely weather ? Will you help me water the flowers , Jack ? +Well , do you think I have to ? +I do.We haven't watered them for quite a few days . +Please look at the sky.Don ' t you see the dark clouds ? It's going to rain soon . +Good.So we don't have to work.How nice ! +But I don't think it's so nice . +Why ? +The weather report says it's going to rain for a whole week . +Oh , I'm afraid all the flowers will die in the rain . +On , darn . The grocery store is closed . +Yeah , this one closes at ten . We could drive to the 24 - hour store on sixth . +Alright . We are out of everything . +I wish the store close to us was open 24 - house a day . +I know , our schedules are so weird . Sometimes , the little corner store is the only thing within walking distance that ’ s open when we get home . +Yeah , and the prices there are very high . +I know . Three dollars for milk . +Do you think they two will get married ? +You can count on it . +I think so.Yes , they get along so well . +I like him.He ' s good for her . +You're right . He sure is . +Dad , where are we off to ? +First we will go to the city centre and stop for something to drink . Then we will visit the University Museum . +Where are we going to have a drink ? +There is a coffee shop round the corner . Can you see that big building at the end of the road ? +Yes ? +That is a bank . The coffee shop is opposite the bank . +Good . I will have hot chocolate . +A stop ! Wait for the lights to turn green . +When crossing the road you must always pay attention to what's around you . +Sorry . How far is the museum ? +I am not sure . We will ask for directions in the coffee shop . +Here we are . You find us a table and I'll get the drinks . +How about going to the cinema tonight ? +That's great . What's on tonight ? +I am not sure about the name of the film , but I know it's a romantic one . +Romantic ? I am afraid I like thrillers better . +Don't you think it's too bloody ? +On the contrary , very exciting . +I feel so uncomfortable . +Are you sick ? +No . The teacher is dragging the chalk over the blackboard . It set my teeth on edge . +He ’ ll finish writing in a minute . +I have made up my mind . I am getting a tattoo . +Really ? Are you sure ? +Yeah ! Why not ? They are trendy and look great ! I want to get a dragon on my arm or maybe a tiger on my back . +Yeah but , it is something that you will have forever ! They use indelible ink that can only be removed with laser treatment . On top of all that , I have heard it hurts a lot ! +Really ? +Of course ! They use this machine with a needle that pokes your skin and inserts the ink . +Oh , I didn ’ t know that ! I thought they just paint it on your skin or something . +I think you should reconsider and do some more research about tattoos . Also , find out where the nearest tattoo parlor is and make sure they used sterilized needles , and that the place is hygienic . +Maybe I should just get a tongue piercing ! +Excuse me , what's the screen near your steering wheel for ? +It's a portable TV . It's a popular thing now . +Oh , that's new to me . So what's on everyday ? +News about current affairs , documentaries , music , movies , noncommercial ads and so on . +Is there anything interesting ? +Yes , there are something good and informative . I think that many people underestimate the value of TV in education . +I agree . Are there any commercials on the TV ? +Of course . Because the TV stations need to make money from commercials between the programs . +That makes a lot of sense . Does the TV work well ? +Not always . It depends on the transmission of the satellite signals . +I got it . Do you pay for the programs ? +Yes , 50 Yuan per month . +Oh , no ! +How dreadful ! +Look at the view from the window . +Oh , dear . That ’ s terrible . Not at all what I expected . +It ’ s awful , isn ’ t it ? +I can ’ t bear to look at it . I ’ m rather disappointed . +It can ’ t be helped . +What do you do in your free time , Nancy ? +Well , I like playing the violin . +Really ? How long have you been playing the violin ? +About ten years so far . I started learning when I was in middle school . +That's really interesting . +Sure . So what about you ? Do you have any hobbies ? +Well , I like collecting matchbox ! I'm not sure if that counts , though . +Of course it does . Everybody has his own hobby . +How can I tell her about this ? +Don't worry , you'll find a way . +There is no need to be so frustrated . +How can you live without job in the future ? +Don't worry , you'll find a way . +What sports do you like to play ? +I like baseball and basketball . +How about football ? +In my country football is brand new , so I never learned the game when I was younger . +It's a very popular game in America . +Yeah . I heard a lot about it . Is it really that fun ? +For me , it's one of those games that are fun to both watch and play . +Are you a football player ? +No , I just for fun with my friends . We play two hand touch or flag football . We're too old to play tackle football . +What is two hand touch and flag football ? +Instead of tackling somebody , you just have to touch them with two hands , or if it is flag football , grab the flag that the ball carrier is wearing . +I see . It's safer then right ? +Exactly . We play every Saturdays on the field by the tennis courts . If you want to learn and play a little , you're welcome to join us . +I'll give it a try . Give me a call and let's go down together . +Ok . I'll call you Saturday morning . +Great . +What upsets you ? +My parents called . As usual , they reminded me again that I should have a plan to marry by my late 20s . Easier said then done . Who should I marry ? I have no time to go on a date . +It is not your mother finding one for you ? +I will find one myself , of course . I ’ m a modern girl . +Perhaps you can try the three minutes date , the latest type . +You mean dozens of the opposite sex meet each other for three minutes in a dimly bar serving alcohol , I hate that idea . +No , there is an updated virgin , three minutes video date . I know an online dating website providing such service with a microphone and webcam , you can sigh for it . You can be face-to-face with a guy talking for maximum three minutes . +I don ’ t think it makes sense . Three minutes is such a short time . +I think you can find out if there is a possibility of romance within the first second of meeting someone , so-called love at first sight . +Anyway , I don ’ t want to post my face up for sale on the internet like that . +Don ’ t worry . There are many other options using the internet as dating methods . Some sites operate at international standard even have got certifications . Of course , for these sites , you have to pay a membership fee . But all in all , it is more serious and professional . The chance of meeting a good and serious person who does not play games is higher . +I don ’ t want to post my personal information on the internet . I ’ m not knowing who is reading it . +Are you going to the party on Saturday ? +I was thinking about it . Are you ? +Yeah , I heard it's going to be a lot of fun . +Really ? Well , what time does it start ? +It starts at 8 +Well , who all is going to be there ? +Everyone from school . +How do you know it's going to be so fun ? +This party is going to have a DJ , food , and drinks . +Wow , that does sound like it's going to be fun . +So am I going to see you at the party ? +Yeah , I will be there . +Could you talk to me for a few minutes about my grades ? +Step into my office for a moment . What is your concern ? +Am I failing ? +Let's go on the computer to see what's up . Do you think you are doing well ? +I am pretty sure that I am in trouble . +I can see that you are trying , but where do you think you could improve ? +I missed a few classes ; I need to make sure I come to school on a regular basis . +Having a regular study routine and following it is very important , right ? +I'll try ; it's hard ! +Thanks for stopping by ! +Good luck on your test tomorrow . We'll be crossing our fingers for you ! +Thanks . +I'll never ever work together with him ! +What happened ? Quarrel again ? +Will you take my materials back from him for me ? Please ! +Don't ask me . I don't wanna be involved in your quarrel . +Oh , my God ! I've been cheated ! +What ? What did you buy ? +It's a brick ! I can't believe how stupid I was . Damn it ! +What is it ? Why did you buy a brick ? +There was a guy on the sidewalk.He had three new boxes , Panasonic video camera boxes.He said he had to get rid of them quick . +And ? +So he said he'd sell me one for twenty dollars . A four-hundred-dollar camera for twenty bucks . +And it's a brick ? +Yes . +I can't believe how stupid you are . Why didn't you open the box ? +I wanted to . But he said , no , the box is still in its plastic wrap from the store.If it's opened , other people won't believe it's new . +So he had the boxes wrapped in plastic . +Yes , it was the kind of perfect plastic wrap that comes with new products.Look , it even had a bar-code price sticker on it ! It looked brand new . +But why would a guy be selling new video cameras for twenty dollars ? +He said he had to get rid of them . They were stolen . +Aha ! Now I understand.You were trying to buy stolen goods on the sidewalk.So , what I think is , you deserve to get cheated ! +C'mon , don't blame me ! I thought it was a new camera . We could use it.We were even thinking about buying a camera . I don't understand how he could have such a perfect-looking box . +That's no problem.He just has a friend who works in a shop that can do plastic wrap . That's easy.And probably it's the same shop he got the boxes from.Maybe his friend works in an electronics store . They sell video cameras there.Probably they had a couple video camera boxes lying around.So they get the idea of wrapping bricks to sell to fools like you.Twenty dollars a brick . That's a good profit if they can sell enough bricks . +You're right , Sarah . I was a fool . I can't believe it . How could I fall for such a trick ? +Is the clock right ? +I'm afraid it gains a little . +By how many minutes ? +Two . +Hey , Mary , what's up ? +Just so so . Last night I met this great guy at the bar and we had such a wonderful time , so we decided to meet again tonight . +Oh , that's exciting . What does this guy look like ? Is he hot ? +Well , I didn't think so at first . But as we started talking , I found him extremely funny and witty . I couldn't stop laughing at his jokes ! And we have so much in common . We like the same team , music , and most amazingly , we both love Chinese food ! I have the feeling that we are going to be great friends . +It seems you two are a good match . What qualities do you look for in a friend ? +There's nothing definite I think . I don't have a list or anything , but when I first meet somebody , I can usually tell whether or not that person is going to be a good friend . It seems I have radar helping me spot new friends . +Well , that's something I've never heard of . But if you ask me what I value most in a friend , I would say honesty . +I agree . You can't expect a close relationship with a dishonest person . Those are the people that will turn their back on you when you are in need . +Yeah , I know . A friend in need is a friend indeed . I don't need fair-weather friends either . +What ’ s up ? You don ’ t look too good . +Yeah , my head hurts , that ’ s all . I ’ Ve been in physics class all day . It ’ s killer ! +I liked physics . It ’ s all math , really . arcs , curves , velocity , cool stuff . +Yeah , yeah , but today ’ s lesson was all about the creation of the universe . +A physics class about the creation of the universe ? That ’ s some pretty unscientific language there . Sounds more religious to me . +It ’ s all religion . Take the theory of the Big Bang.How is it possible that all of the stuff in the universe comes from an explosion ? That ’ s no better than Atlas carrying the globe on his back or African myths about turtles and stuff . +Turtles ? Whatever ... Look , all that ’ s required for the creation of matter an imbalance of particles and anti-particles . At least , that ’ s what the math says . +Math , sheath . What ’ s the evidence ? +There is evidence ! You know Edwin Hubble ? He ’ s the guy who in the early twentieth century was the first scientist to measure the drift of matter in the universe , thus advancing notions of an expanding universe . What would it be expanding from ? Well , the Big Bang ... DUH ! +Anyway , it ’ s just a theory . Why do people go around touting theories ? Where ’ s the scientific rigor in that ? +Dude , don ’ t equivocate . A theory only becomes a theory after withstanding rigorous testing . You slept through class , didn ’ t you ? +Today more and more people advocate lifelong learning . But people have different views about lifelong learning . How do you understand lifelong learning ? +I think lifelong learning is the concept that it's never too soon or too late for learning +Does that mean studying all the time ? +I don't think so . I think it's about your attitude towards learning . One should be open to new ideas , decisions , skills or behaviors . +Then the axiom - ' You can't teach an old dog new tricks ' doesn't work any longer . +You're right . Lifelong learning is about finding learning opportunities at all ages and in numerous contexts +Yes , I agree with you . When I retired I will participate in programs to keep momentally active . +Me too . To keep up with the changing world , one must be involved in lifelong learning and be ready to accept new things . +You know what ? I've recently been teaching myself French . +Really ? That's great ! I know that your company has a lot of clients in France . +Yes , so I want to learn French to develop my career . +How old are you ? +Nine ... but I'll be ten on May 1st.When is your birthday ? +I'm older than you ! I'll be ten on April 14th . +Are you going to have a birthday party ? +Maybe . I'll have to ask my mother . +It smells like an ashtray in here ! +Hi honey ! What ’ s wrong ? Why do you have that look on your face ? +What ’ s wrong ? I thought we agreed that you were gonna quit smoking . +No ! I said I was going to cut down which is very different . You can ’ t just expect me to go cold turkey overnight ! +Look , there are other ways to quit . You can try the nicotine patch , or nicotine chewing gum . We spend a fortune on cigarettes every month and now laws are cracking down and not allowing smoking in any public place . It ’ s not like you can just light up like before . +I know , I know . I am trying but , I don ’ t have the willpower to just quit . I can ’ t fight with the urge to reach for my pack of smokes in the morning with coffee or after lunch ! Please understand ? +Fine ! I want a divorce ! +Why are you shivering ? +It's freezing . +It seems that you get antsy when you hear I praise another guy . +I get antsy not because you praise a guy , but because you may be taken for a ride by a guy like him . +How come you think of him that way ? +Because you seem to have lost your vigilance . You should be on the watch out . +I have no reason to distrust him . He's never caused any harm . +Isn't there anything that sounds fishy ? +Nothing smells a rat . I told you that he's an all-right guy . +All-right guy ? All right . Let's talk about something else instead . +Cheese ! It tastes like cardboard . +I think so . Maybe that ’ s why it ’ s cheap here . +Have you signed up to join the company ’ s Christmas party ? +Sure , I have . Will you join ? +I will . You know , as a newcomer , I think it might be a good opportunity to get to know people from the other departments of our company in a more relaxed atmosphere . +You are right . Our company ’ s Christmas party has always been an amazing occasion for everybody to relax and get to know each other better . It is also a time to make new friends and do some networking . +I hope that it is not a formal one when the boss is there . +No , it will not be formal at all . It is a fun time . You will love the game show . Please dress casually . Usually there is an over abandon of drinks , so be careful with that . +Don ’ t worry , I can handle that . And I know if the boss is there , even it is an informal evening , it does not make a good impression to get totally drunk in front of him . +If the weatherman's predictions are accurate , it should rain tomorrow . +I hope not . Then we'd have to reschedule our baseball game . +hi , Emily , do you know that guy over there ? +The tall one ? Sure , that's Drive , he works with Lily . +He is cute.What dose he do ? +I'm not sure , he is a manager I think . +Really ? Are you going to introduce us ? +Well , he has already taken you know , that's his wife right there . +You didn't ring me last night . You said you would . +I'm sorry to have made you disappointed . +That's all right . But why were you so rude to me at lunch . +Was I ? Sorry , I didn ’ t mean to be . I do apologize . +And why are you yarning now ? Are you bored ? +Forgive me darling . I'm very tired . +Hi , Nicole . Did you have a good weekend ? +Yes , I did . But I feel tired today . +Really ? Why ? +Well , on Saturday I cleaned the house and played tennis . Then on Sunday I hiked in the country . +And I bet you studied , too . +Yeah . I studied on Sunday evening . What about you ? +Well , I didn't clean the house and I didn't study . I stayed in bed and watched TV . +That sounds like fun , but did you exercise ? +Sort of . I played golf on my computer ! +There will be a parade to celebrate National Day this weekend . +What's the route ? +From Zhongshan Circus to City Bank . +If only I could join it ! +Excuse me . I'm afraid you're in my seat . You've moved my books . +Oh , dear . +You must have realized somebody was here . +Oh , well , I looked around . There wasn't any other space . I waited a while and nobody came . I'm sorry if I've taken your place . +What ’ s the life expectancy in your country ? +I ’ m not sure , but probably about 75 years . How about in your country ? +About 70 , I think . This newspaper article talks about the problems of an aging population . It ’ s a problem that will soon affect most of the world . +I heard that the government might need to increase the retirement age , because otherwise there will not be enough workers to support the young and the elderly . +Perhaps we need to have more babies ! Tina gave birth to a baby boy yesterday . +Did she ? That ’ s great . However , if we have too many children , that will have a bad effect on the enviroment . +How ’ s your son these days ? +Oh , he ’ s fine . Kids seem to grow up very quickly nowadays . +He ’ ll be a teenager before you know it ! Teenagers are often rebellious ! When do you mine it is a good age to have a child ? +I had mine when I was 24 . that ’ s a little young . I ’ d suggest you wait until you are in your late twenties . , or even in your early thirties if you have a good career . +Yes , I think you ’ re right . I ’ m thinking about having a child , but not just yet . +Is there a big generation gap between parents and their children in you country ? +Yes , there is . Teenagers do not want to live traditional lives . They want to go out , have fun , and explore the world . They want to develop their own view of life . Parents usually try to discourage them , but they don ’ t often succeed . +Parents usually give their children more freedom in my country . Sometimes they give them too much freedom . +It ’ s almost impossible to get the right balance . If you are too strict , kids might ignore you . If you are too lenient , they might go wild . +I'm going to Japan this year on vacation . +Have you ever been to America ? +No , but I'd really like to . +You'd like it . +Hey , Mark , long time no see . +Julie ! It's good to see you again . How have you been ? +Great . I just got back from a week's vacation in Thailand . +Really ? How was it ? +Fantastic ! I didn't want to come back . +I hear the beaches in Thailand are beautiful . +They are . And not only that the people are friendly , but also the food is delicious , not to mention cheap . +I do like Thai food . Did you see much of Bangkok ? +Not much . I've got enough city life in Beijing . +I know what you mean . I could use a vacation myself . +Hey , wouldn't it be great if we could go to Thailand together sometime ? +Yeah , it sure would . +Could I see the manager please ? I have a complaint to make . +Yes , I ’ m the manager here . What can I do for you , Madam ? +Did you have the room checked before we move in ? +Which room are you in ? +1808 . The toilet doesn ’ t work properly , the water doesn ’ t run in the shower . +I ’ m awfully sorry to hear that . I ’ ll turn to it right away . +Congratulations , Vivian . You won the grand prize , again . +Isn't it just great ! I just knew I'd win ! +You did ? How ? Did you wear red underwear again this year ? +Not only that ! +Tell me ! Tell me ! What's your secret ? ! +OK , OK . I'll whisper it to you , but you have to promise not to tell anyone ! +What ? ! You did that ? ? ! ! ! +We are going to the concert this evening . Will you join us . +I'm very sorry I can't . +Why not ? +I've been snowed under with since my bosses away on business . +You'v been work here for nearly a month , how do you feel about the job ? +Not bad.Thank you for your help . I am always busy with this job , I feel a bit tired . +I had the same feeling when I first came to work here . but after a period of time , I feel better , I am sure you ' ll get used to this busy job . +I also feel that work efficiency here is very high . and you have strong working ability and professional skill , it seems that you know all , that's really wonderful ! +You know the phrase , the survival the fittest . We have no choices . +That's right , I have to work hard . +The music is on.May I have the pleasure to dance with you ? +Sorry , I'm engaged for the foxtrot.Will the next Walls be all right ? +Certainly . +Excuse me , is this seat taken ? +No , please feel free . +Thanks a lot . +Do you work in Shanghai ? +Yes I do . How about you ? +No , I'm a tourist . This place is amazing ! It's much bigger than I imagined , and much more exciting ! There's so much to see here . +You can say that again ! It's much more modern than people imagine . Where are you from ? +Um , well let's see ... I'm from Kansas originally . A much quieter and more peaceful place than here , that's for sure ! +Uh huh ... +Look at this headline , Soo Mi . +Wow ! So many people in the United States get divorced ! +Is it the same in Korea ? +I don't think so . In Korea some marriages break up , but most couples stay together . +Do people get married young ? +Not really . Very few people get married beforethe age of 20 . +Hmm . Do women usually work after they get married ? +No , a lot of women stay home and take care of their families . But some work . +Boy ! What a beauty ! I fall in love with her at the first sight . +The beauty under the tree ? +Of course.No girl is more charming . +She is a young man ! +Excuse me.Where do I register ? +Oh , over there in Pacific Pavilion . +Is that the large , white building ? +Yeah , that's it . +Thanks . +How was your education going on in Australia ? +I'm going to graduate this summer . +Where are you going to work then , in Australia or back in China ? +I'm planning to return to China after graduation . +Why are you choosing to leave a foreign country ? Many people are reluctant to leave the superior living environment abroad . +Well , I think personal development is much more important than simply having a superior living environment . +Yeah , China's developing so fast and development opportunities can be found almost in every corner of the country . +Do you have any particular hobbies , Tom ? +Oh , yes . I love playing badminton , table tennis and computer games . And playing the games has become my favorite . +I hear many teenagers will spend hours and hours sitting at computers . And they don't care about their own health at all . How about you ? +I'm no better than them . They say it's mindless to sit in front of a machine all the time , but I think it's stimulating . +You won't play online games full of violence , will you ? +Once in a while . +It's no good . And I think spending several hours each day playing computer games is a waste of time . You might as well do something healthy and meaningful . +I hope I can practice self-control again . +What ’ s the plot of your new movie ? +It ’ s a story about a policemen who is investigating a series of strange murders . I play the part of the detective . He has to catch the killer , but there ’ s very little evidence . It ’ s a psychological th +Did you enjoy making the movie ? We heard stories of disagreement with other actors and with the director . +I have had disagreement with every director . I ’ Ve worked with . We ’ Ve always disagreed in a friendly way and we have always resolved our differences . It was the same when I made this movie . I don ’ t no +Critics are not very happy with the movies that you ’ Ve made recently . Does that bother you ? +Not at all . The feedback from audience has been great . I care about what they think more than what the critics think . +Did you do you own stunts in the movie ? +I wanted to , but my insurance company wouldn ’ t let me . All of my stunts were done by a stuntman . As you know , I used to do my own stunts , but I ’ ll leave that to the experts in future . +Thank you very much for doing this interview . +My pleasure . Have you seen the movie yet ? +Yes . I have . I liked it very much . Like you , I was very impressed with Rachel ’ s performance in the movie . She ’ s going to be a star . +Who's that old lady trimming the trees ? +She's my grandma . +She's looks very healthy.How old is she ? +92 . +Mom . My legs are killing me . +Hold on . We will be successful right away . +Oh , man . I had the best supper last night . My wife made a stir-fry and it was amazing ! +I love stir fry crispy bitesize vegetables covered in a mixture of soy sauce and oyster sauce . Wilted greens and fresh bean sprouts . Throw in some onion and garlic and ginger ! Mmm ! Mmm ! It ’ s almost lunchtime . I would die for a plate of stir fry right now ! +Well , you can keep the vegetables , I ’ ll take the meat . The stir fry my wife made was really hearty , with chunks of beef and slivers of bell peppers and onion ... +What ? You call that a stir fry ? More meat than vegetables ? That ’ s the worst insult you could throw at a Chinese stir fry . What a disgrace to the wok she fried it in ! What you had is equivalent to a fajita without the wrap ! +What did you say ? +I said it's a lovely day . Why don't we go for a walk ? +Well , I feel a little tired . +Come on ! A little labor , much health . +Then can you wait a few minutes ? I want to finish writing this letter . +Don't take too long . It would be a shame not to take advantage of such lovely weather . +I won't be long . No more than ten minutes . Why don't you go ahead and I'll meet you in the park ? +I Believe I will . Look for me near the lake . +Thank god you showed up when you did ! He ’ s insane ! Do you think we should call the police ? +Don ’ t worry about it , I ’ ll call my friend and have him take care of it . I can ’ t believe he was stalking you all these years . What a nut job ! +I know ! Well ... he said I ’ m not pregnant . I ’ m sorry if I got you all worked up over nothing . I want you to know that I didn ’ t do it on purpose ... +Don ’ t apologize ! From the moment I met you , not a day has gone by when I haven ’ t thought of you.And now that I ’ m with you again , I ’ m ... I ’ m just scared , Veronica . The closer I get to you , the worse it gets . The thought of not being with you , I mean , I just can ’ t handle it ! We were made for each other , Veronica . You are my everything , my soul mate . What can I do ? +Just hold me ... I ’ ll always be here for you , no matter what . And together , we can tackle whatever life throws at us . I believe in us , steven . +I ’ m so happy to hear that ! I knew we belong together . I love you so much . +Zina , can I talk to you about something personal ? +As long as it doesn't take too long . +My boyfriend says I work too much . That I spend more time with you than with him . +Was he upset when you told him you had to leave this weekend ? +He said not to bother coming back . And I said , fine , I won't . +So what's the problem ? +Mary , how was your date with john ? +it's ok . It seems we have a lot in common . +oh , really . That is great news . What does he look like ? +he is tall and slim , fair-haired . +sounds like he is pretty cute . What do you think of him ? +he is a nice guy and very considerate . I was impressed with how smart he was and he has a great sense of humor . +oh , it's love at first sight . When will you see each other again ? +he didn't say , but he said he would call me . +maybe he is busy with his work . Just wait and try not to think about it too much ! +oh , steve . Stop it ! I am a bit nervous ! What if he doesn't call ? +come on , Mary , you're a total catch . I bet he will call you . Don't worry . +thank you , Steve . You're always so encouraging . +that's what friends are for . +Hi , Francis , how was your business trip ? +It was a nightmare . +What ’ s up ? +Actually , the business trip itself was very successful . We arrived on time , we had nice conversations and we settled some important issues for the next year . +Sounds quite fruitful , why do you call it still a nightmare then ? +Well , the air line lost my luggage on the return flight and then I lost my carry on bag when I was tackling with the officers in charge . I left the airport three hours later than I expected and then I was caught in a traffic jam . When I finally got home , I was totally exhausted . But I found the elevator was out of service due to a blackout . +This is really a sad story . Did they trace back your luggage ? +I am still waiting for their call . +Take it easy , all sufferings have their reward . +So the company decided to cancel your trip to Hong Kong ? +Yes , The SARS epidemic is not under effective control yet . So I'd better not risk it . +Maybe it's a good things . If you don't have to go to Hong Kong , you can take a break and take things easy for a while . +You are right . Maybe we should work out a fitness plan and start to do more exercise . Sitting around in the office all day is no way of keeping fit . +That's a good idea . Let's see if we can get more people in this plan . There isn't much business these days anyway , so I think many people will be interested . +Which pair of jeans do you like best ? +I really like the straight legs . +But they aren't very fashionable . What about these ? +I don't like the way they sag down . I feel like I have plumber butt in them . +That's the style ! You just wear boxers . +What if someone got it in their head to give them a tug ? What then ? +You're so old fashioned ! Nobody is going to pull down your pants ! +If you ask me , it's a walking invitation ! +Hi , Charles . What's the matter ? +Oh ! ! My car isn't working . I'm waiting for a tow-truck . +Do you have a ride home ? +Yes , my wife is coming to get me . +That's good . Do you live near here ? +No , we live in the suburbs . What about you ? +I live downtown , with my parents . +Do you have a car ? +I don't need a car . I walk to work . +You're lucky ! +Happy anniversary , sweetheart ! +Yes . to our first anniversary and many more to come . Cheers ! +I'll drink to that . Thanks for making this a night worth remembering . +Well , it's a special day . They say if you survive the first year , the rest is smooth sailing . +That's good to know . Oh , listen ! The band's playing our song . +I requested it . What do you say ? Do you have your dancing shoes on ? +Always . +What do you plan to do for your birthday ? +I want to have a picnic with my friends , Mum . +How about a party at home ? That way we can get together and celebrate it . +OK , Mum . I'll invite my friends home . +How about seconds , Victor ? +No.thanks . I'm full . +Why don't you have dinner with me tonight ? +I'd love to . +Let's say about 6:00 ? +That's OK with me . +Cigarette ? +Oh , uh ... Thanks . Henry , do you have a light ? +Sorry , here . +Thanks . Lovely day . Pity I ’ m on duty . +I ’ ll stand in with you if you like . I ’ Ve got nothing else to do . +Oh , no . I couldn ’ t possibly . +Hi Rose , what are you busy with right now ? +Hi Jack , I'm working on these documents . The manager wants them for half an hour . +Well , Rose . +Is there something any need ? +Are your free this weekend ? +Yes , I have nothing to do . +Great , Is it convenient if i visit you this weekend ? +I beg your pardon ? +I'd like to call on you this weekend . I just want to a drop in for a chat . +Really ? well , ok , you're welcome . +Is 5 PM . Saturday a good time for you ? +Hmm , how about seven ? I can treat you to dinner . +Sure , that would be great . I'll bring the wine . +OK . Then I'll be expecting you . +I'll be there on time . +How do you shoot pool ? +You have 16 balls on the table , 7 solid colored , 7 striped colored , a black 8 ball , and the white ball . +And ? +You hit the white ball with your cue . The white ball hits the colored balls . And you want to get the colored balls into the pockets . +How do you know whether you should hit the solid or the striped one ? +At the beginning , it does not matter , but once someone gets one ball in , it is set . +Can I get the black ball in ? +The black ball has to be the final ball in the pockets . +Let's go and try now ! +How about going to hear a country-and-western singer tonight ? +I'd enjoy that . +I'll pick you up around 8: 00 . +OK . I'll see you then . +The mosquitos are biting me ! +Me , too , I can ’ t stop scratching . They are everywhere ! Sneaky little jerks . +Do you have any bug spray ? +No , I forgot to buy some . +Then we ’ ll have to put up with it . +We can cover ourselves with beer ! That way if they bite us , they ’ ll get drunk and fall asleep . +That ’ s without a doubt , the best idea you ’ Ve had ! Let ’ s do it ! +Run ! They are thirsty for more ! +Stop running around in front of the TV , will you ? Why don't you just sit and watch ? +I've tried , but I can't stand the bald man talking so loudly in the program . +Then stay away . No one is keeping you from doing that . +Don't be so irritable . I just don't understand the program , that's all . +All right , I will explain it to you later on . Now scram . +Ok . I will wait until you have had your fun , if that's what you want . +That's exactly what I want , thank you . +Okay , can I ask you something direct ? +Ha ! It's not like you've ever been one to beat around the bush . +Fair enough . Give it to me straight . Did she bully you into this ? +No , seriously . . . I really want this . +I tell ya , when I got the invite , it really threw me for a loop . You've done a complete 180 . +I know . But things have changed . I guess I've settled down . +I guess so . +My daughter plans to quit her present job and wants to find another . She says she wants to get a better job with higher pay . +It seems quite normal to me . It is pretty much what I want to do . +But what about settling down to start a family ? Doesn't anyone want to get married any more ? +It is different now . The world is becoming colorful . Some of my friends don't feel the same pressure to marry . We all want to wait for the right moment . +What time is the right moment ? +Let the universe find us instead of forcing love . We prefer natural love . The most important thing is to be happy . Love will find us later . That is what we say . +Please excuse me , but I really have to be going . +Yes , of course.It was nice to see you . +It was nice to see you , too.And please give my regards to Mrs.Robbins . +Excuse me . Is this seat taken ? +I'm afraid so . +What do you think of the coming match ? +Winning is a piece of cake to me . +You are bragging again . +What would you reckon the taxing increases ? +Well , the state will benefit a lot , I suppose . +But what do most people think about it ? +Ah , it ’ s hard to say . +are you still coming to my place for dinner tomorrow night ? +of course . Is the dinner still on ? +yes , I was just wondering how you and your roommate were planning on coming to my place . +we were planning on walking both ways since the weather is still nice . +that's what I thought you would do . Listen , I live in a bit of a rough neighborhood . It's just down the street from all the bars . You probably don't want to be walking around after dark . +it can't be that bad . +I wish it wasn't , but there is actually a lot of crime and prostitution around here . +really ? I never would have guessed . The criminals must only come out in the evenings , because I've never noticed anything strange when I've been at your house in the daytime . +do me a favor , and take a taxi . It'd make me feel a lot better . +ok , we will . How do you get around in the evenings ? +when I first moved in , I walked everywhere . But within a week , I had my purse stolen — just a block away from the police station ! Now , I always take public transportation . +has anything else happened to you ? +nothing else has happened to me , but I have seen quite a few fights on the streets after the bars close . +well , we'll be careful . Thanks for letting me know . +Jack wonders whether Linda likes him or not . +Why doesn't he ask her ? +He is too scared to ask her . +He's a chicken guy . +I don't understand why some parents keep beefing and complaining about their daughters not being able to follow suit . +Yeah . Li Na's mother has been building a fire under her since her neighbour's daughter got married with a Canadian . She's almost driving Li Na crazy . +If I were Li Na , I would ask her if she had done that . +She is as meek as a lamb . She never goes against anyone or anything . She's as good as gold , you know ? +Where is John ? I can't find him anywhere . +Haven't you heard that he is in prison ? +What ? Beg your pardon . +John is in prison now.He was copped outstealing . +I just cann't believe my ears ! +What do you need ? +I need to use the Internet . +You have your library card , right ? +Yes , I do . +There is a wait right now to use the computers . +That ’ s fine . +Would you please write your name on this list ? +Then what ? +I will call you when a computer is free . +How do I log on to the computer ? +Use the number on the back of your library card . +Thanks . I ’ ll be sitting over there . +What a nice tie you are wearing ! +Thank you.But does it really look all right ? +Certainly.It matches your suit perfectly . +Then does it go well with my sweater ? +Yes.You look very smart today . +Thank you very much . +What do you make of the case ? +If you ask me , I don ’ t think it ’ s guilty . +What do you mean by saying so ? +I mean it ’ s not his fault . +Oh , yeah ? +Yes . Don ’ t you think he should be pitied rather than accused ? +Happy Mother's Day , Mom ! +Thanks ! These are beautiful . You shouldn't have ! +Of course I should have ! You certainly deserve them ! You put up with all of us . +I forgot what I put up with . In that case , I do deserve these flowers . +I have a real problem when I meet people . +What is it ? Maybe I can help . +I never know when to shake hands and when not to . Can you tell me something about it ? +Do you come from a country where they shake hands ? +Oh yes . Men , women , and children shake hands all the time . +It ’ s very simple . Men shake hands , women and children don ’ t . +But some women do shake hands . And now a lot of children have such good manners , they shake hands too . +Well , a good rule to follow is , for men you hold out your hand , for women and children , you wait and see what they do . +That sounds easy enough . +Sure . Once you get the hang of it , it ’ s a piece of cake ! It ’ s nothing to worry about . +Sam , I am so sorry . It was your birthday yesterday and I completely forgot about it . +Don't worry about it . I keep forgetting everyone's birthdays as well . +Margaret really told me off when she found out that I had forgotten all about it . We did try to phone you , but you and Jane must have gone out . +Yes , Jane invited me for dinner to this new restaurant which opened near us . +Oh , yes , I know the one . How was the food ? +The food was excellent , but Jane ordered a birthday cake , which they forgot about . So as you can see , you were not the only one . +Oh , no . +Yes , Jane was quite upset about it . The manager came to apologize and we did get free dessert , but still ... +I would think this was the least they could do . +In the end it was a nice evening and I got an iPad as my birthday present which I wanted for a while . +Great . I have also been thinking of getting one . Do you think you could ask Jane to have a quiet word with Margaret ? My birthday is not that far away . +I can try , but knowing Margaret she will see through that immediately . +Here's the restaurant we're meeting the Smiths at . +Let's go in to wait for them . +After you . +When do you usually go to the movies ? +I usually go in my free time on the weekends . How about you ? +The movie theater is always so crowded on the weekends . I like to go to the movies during the week . +That's true . And sometimes the tickets are cheaper during the week as well . +Are you telling us a lie again ? +I will be hanged if I lying . +All right . But what was the trouble ? +My car run out of petrol . +I can't believe Mr . Fro didn't buy it . Who does that guy think he is anyway ? Bill Gates ? +He had a lot of nerve telling us our ads sucked . +Time to order . Balista , today I want a skinny triple latte . +When did you start worrying about your weight ? +I'm not . I just don't feel like drinking whole milk today . Why ? Do you think I'm fat ? +No , Jess , chill out ! +Come on , Tara . Let ’ s go up to the window and buy two tickets . The movie is starting in a few minutes . +We can ’ t break into the line . Don ’ t be so impatient . We ’ ll be at the front of the line soon . +Two tickets , please . How much are they ? +Oh no , Ari . I didn ’ t mean for you to pay for me when I invited you to go tonight . Let ’ s go Dutch . I ’ ll pay my own way . I insist . +I ’ m looking forward to this film . I read a good review of it in this morning ’ s newspaper . +Me , too . It will be great to see something light and funny for a change . I ’ m tired of heavy drama . +Are these seats okay ? +They ’ re fine , but I can ’ t watch a movie without popcorn . +Do you often buy magazines ? +I buy a computer magazine every month . It keeps me up-to date with all the latest developments . +Why don ’ t you find the information on the internet instead ? +Sometimes it takes too long to find the exact information you are looking for . Besides , I like to read a magazine in a coffee bar sometimes . +Do you have an online edition of that magazine ? +Yes , they do . But you can only access all the articles if you have a subscription . +Do you have a subscription ? +Yes , I do . The magazine arrives by post at the beginning of each month . Do you every buy magazines ? +I only buy them if they look particularly interesting . I don ’ t buy any regularly . +Mumm . Those burgers smell great . It's perfect day for a barbecue . +It sure is . I'm glad it didn't rain . My name's Mike Gates , by the way . +Oh , hi ! I'm Barbara Johnson . Nice to meet you . +I'm sorry . What's your name again ? +Barbara . But please , just call me Barb . +So Barb ... what do you do ? +I'm studying medicine . +Really ? Where ? +At Harvard . What about you ? +I'm an engineer at IBM . +Oh , are you ? That sounds interesting . +Yeah . I like it . Hey , it looks like the food is ready . +Good . I'm starving . +Wow ! I can't believe I'm standing here ! +What are you so excited about ? +I'm standing in front of an exquisite work of art ! +What's the big deal ? It's just a picture of some woman . +I've seen it so many times in books , but I never imagined I'd get to see it in person . +There are tons of other paintings that I think are better . +Maybe so , but do you have any idea how much this one is worth ? +No , how much is it worth ? +About 80 million dollars . +Whoa . +hey , Maris , are you a part-timer ? +part-timer ? Is that a new buzzword ? +oh , it ’ s pretty popular among my classmates these days . So are you ? +sure , I have a part-time job as a bartender . +cool ! It must be amazing to work at a bar ! +yeah , but I ’ m not there for fun . I have to remain professional and if I get distracted , the manager would be pretty upset . +that ’ s true . I ’ m wondering did you learn anything from the job ? +of course . There ’ s always much to learn . I got to know more about the real world . +you mean you got working experience , right ? +not just working experience . I would say the biggest lesson I learned is how to deal with people from all walks of life . +it must be very demanding . +sometimes it is . But after working for a few weeks , it ’ s easy to figure out . +really ? It sounds interesting . +maybe you can come to the bar one day and I ’ ll show you around . +great . I ’ m looking forward to it . +Have you seen that house ? +Yes , it looks interesting . +You're right . I love it very much . +It must be old . +At least more than 100 years old . +Let's enter it ! +I can't open the door . +It must be locked . +Let me ask the old woman in that reception office . +She can't answer you . +She must be deaf . +It must be a haunted house . Are you frightened ? +Frightened ? You must be joking . +Have you got any hobbies ? +Yes . I'm fond of playing the chess and I'm very keen on playing cards . +Which is easier to learn ? +Both , but the rules of playing cards vary in different places . +Jim , how was your weekend ? +I went to the beach with my friends and had a barbecue there . +That sounds like a lot of fun . Did you go swimming , too ? +Sure . I think it ’ s a fantastic place to go . +I couldn ’ t agree more . That ’ s an ideal place for a vacation . +It sure is . +I can ’ t wait to go there myself . +You'd better prepare for the examination . +I don't think the exam will be very hard . +You should change your attitude , or you will not pass the course . +Maybe you're right . I have been too lazy lately . +It is high time you have a talk with him . That may help clear the mists . +I did , but he gives me a runaround . +If I were you , I would put the whole matter on the table . +But he was trying to beat about the bush . And my talk with him was fruitless . +What is the correct time , please ? +It's exactly twelve minutes past seven . +When will the lecture begin ? +It'll begin at nine o'clock sharp . +Should I ask Sara to the party ? +I would if I were you . +If he promised to help you , I'm sure he will help . He's a man of his word . +You said it . I always count on him when I need his help . +Last year he helped me out of trouble , too . +We're having a sixties party next week . Do you want to come ? +What is a sixties party ? +You come dressed in anything from the sixties . +That sounds like fun . But where can I get clothes that old ? +Check out your mom's closet . I'll bet she still has something . +Good idea . Can I bring some music from that period too ? +That will be great ! Do you have LPs or Cds ? +Don't tell me you have a record player ! +I want to improve my handwriting , and I've practiced it for several weeks , but nothing happened . You see , my handwriting is still bad . +Oh , come on . You know it's a long process , you have to be patient . +I know it , but I don't know when I can make it better . +A , whatever you do , the most important is perseverance . So you have to hang on there , the longer , the better . Then some day , you will find you've already made a lot of progress . +Yeah , you are right . I must stop complaining and stick to it every day . +Yeah ! Where there is a will , there is a way . +I ’ m so excited , mother . Oh , a new baby ! +My first grandchild . +And my first nephew . He looks a lot like you , mum . He does . +Do you think so ? Well , I guess . He does look a lot like me . Oh , he ’ s got Richard ’ s eyes though . +Yes , he does have Richard ’ s eyes . The baby even looks like you than Richard does . +Well , children usually resemble their parents . +It ’ s true . Michelle is a lot like Henry in so many ways . And she is shy with new people just like he is . +You often like comparing children with their parents . +You ’ re right . +The music has started . +How do you like this waltz ? +It's very nice . +May I ask you for a dance ? +Certainly . +You are doing the waltz wonderfully well . +Thanks . I'm glad you say so . Oh , the music has stopped . +Do you speak only English in the class , or does your teacher explain everything to you in Spanish ? +Oh , we never speak Spanish in class ! Miss.Parker speaks to us only in English . +I suppose she's right . Does she speak English very slowly ? +Not always . Sometimes we don't understand her . Then she has to repeat what she said . +It must be interesting to study English . +Mario and I are the best students in the class . Miss Parker says that my pronunciation is very good . +Is English pronunciation easy or difficult ? +Sometimes it's difficult . Some words look different from the way one pronounces them . +Doris , I'm glad you're home . I'm terrified . I don't know what to do ! +What is it ? What happened ? +I think someone is stalking me . +No , it can't be . Really ? Who ? +I don't know . I saw him the first time Tuesday . He was at the cafe . I noticed he was looking at me a lot . Not just the usual looking , but staring.He just kept staring at me . He didn't stop . +What did you do ? +I didn't do anything . Finally , he left.But then I saw him again today . Outside the shoe store . Near the cafe . I went into a CD store and pretended I was looking at CD's . But then he came in too . +Did he leave when you left ? +Yes . Then I noticed he was on the sidewalk behind me . He was following me . +What did you do ? +He followed me all the way home ! +That's about five blocks . And around corners too.So he was definitely following you . +Yes , he was . I'm not imagining it.Finally , just when I got home , I turned around and looked at him.He was just standing there . He didn't smile . He just stood there . It was so obvious.What should I do ? I'm so scared . Can I call the police ? +Actually , I don't think you can call the police . Not yet at least.He hasn't done anything . And probably the police will just ignore it.But if anything happens again , then maybe you should call . +Why can't I call the police now ? He was definitely following me ! +Of course you can call the police if you want . That's not what I mean . I'm just saying that they probably won't do anything . +I suppose . What can they do ? I don't even know who he is . +Listen , Carol . Don't let this bother you too much.Probably it's nothing . Just keep your eyes open when you go out.If you see him a third time , and if he follows you again , then I think we should go to the police.But for now , just try not to worry . +Alright . And I won't go to that cafe for awhile . +Han Maimed , What's your plan for the weekend ? +I plan to travel around Harvard University and know more about it . To tell you the truth , I plan to apply for Harvard after graduation from high school . It ’ s better to get to know it . What about you ? +I get together with my Christian brothers on Saturdays . +Oh , my God ! John , I didn ’ t know you are religious . You just look like a scientific kook , like Leonard in the Big Bang Theory . +Come on , Han Maimed , don ’ t make a fuss . A lot of Americans , including many scientists , believe in religion . +But I ’ m really surprised . I thought science and religion are not compatible , are they ? +Yes , they are compatible . Actually , the U . S . is both the most developed and the most religious country in the world . +I've heard about it a little bit before , but I don ’ t understand . How can people believe in God since they know God doesn't exist ? +That ’ s a little complicated . You ’ ll get to know it when you are acquainted with the U . S . history later on . Religion was and is a part of American people ’ s life . Guess what ? Even Harvard University , which is a highly academic institution , is in a sense the product of religion . +Really ? +Absolutely ! It was founded by a group of Puritan immigrants from England . +Why was it founded by the Puritans ? Where were the atheistic educators ? +Because most of the first English immigrants who came to the United States were Puritans . +How come ? I mean why most of them were religious people ? +That ’ s because in the 16th and 17th century , there was a series of religious reforms in England . Many religious separatists were persecuted and fled to other countries . +So , you mean people didn't enjoy religious freedom in England ? +Yes , that's why Puritans moved to the New World , where they believed they could establish a heaven for Puritans . Later on , it was these Puritans who founded Harvard College . +Why did they want to found a college ? +Many Puritans had received classic style of higher education in Oxford University and Cambridge University back in England . They hoped that their descendants could receive this kind of education as well . +Oh , I see . +Actually Harvard was first named ' New College ' , without a formal name . +When did it begin to be called Harvard University ? +In 1639 , it was renamed after its major benefactor John Harvard . Interestingly , JohnHarvard himself was a clergyman . +It seems that Harvard was predestined to be influenced by religion . +Therefore , it ’ s not exaggerate to claim that had there not been religion , there would note Harvard . +Wow , I didn ’ t know that religion had played such an important role in Harvard history . +Religion has been playing an indispensible part in Harvard history as well as the U . S . +I finally begin to get to know Harvard . It seems that my knowledge of Harvard is rather poor . I have a lot work to do before applying for Harvard . +Remember that Harvard is a part of the United States . So you have to know the U . S . history and culture if you want to have in-depth knowledge of Harvard . The two are closely related . +That ’ s right . I have a lot to learn from you . +You can ask me any question at any time . +I am not convinced by your explanation . Could you explain it ? +Sorry , I really can't do that . There's little time left for us . +I can't accept your excuse . It's five o'clock . +But I have an appointment with Ann . +Ok , sounds good . But I think it's your trick . +What do you do in summer ? +I love going out into the countryside for walks or bike ride . I love being out in the fresh summer air . How about you ? +I don ’ t often go for walks , but I either play sports outside-you know , tennis or badminton-or just sit in the sunshine and read a good book . +What do you do in winter ? +Well , I play sports indoors quite often . If I ’ m feeling lazy , I just watch a film at home . I prefer summer to winter . +I think most people do . I like wearing nice , colorful clothes in summer-you know , a nice dress or skirt . It ’ s too cold for those kinds of clothes in winter . +Yes . I like wearing shorts in summer . My legs would freeze ! +Do you think we ’ ll have a nice summer this year ? +Thanks to global warming , it could be hotter than ever ! +I will never forget Linda . After all , she was my first lover . +I think you ’ ll lay it to rest with the time flying . +I remember that someone says that it is difficult to forget the people who don ’ t want to forget . +But I think time can change everything . +Could you tell me what university you want to go to , John ? +Pardon ? +What university would you enter ? +University ? Why ? You asked me last year . +Oh , I forget.Sorry . +I went to Harvard University . +Did you ? And what course did you take there ? +God save me ! Is there anything wrong with you ? Didn't I tell you ? +I've not known.Perhaps , I've got a bad memory . +I did a B . A . in economics.Remember ? +Terrific ! B . A . , again and again-B . A . +I've been chosen to plan the next family reunion . +Fun for you ! Do you get to do anything you want ? +Yep . And I should start planning now . +Does everyone usually show up for your family reunions ? +Just about . There are at least a few hundred in our immediate family alone . +How Ay days will the reunion be ? +Usually it's at least five days and four nights . +This is going to be a major production for you ! +Hi , my name is Lean , and I'm from Russia . +Nice to meet you , Lvan.My name is Alike . I'm from Japan . +To me English is a difficult language . +A second language is always difficult . +True , but English is harder than most.It ' s a crazy language . +A crazy language ? Why do you say that ? +One letter can have several pronunciations and one word can have several meanings . +No wonder you say English is a crazy language . +What did you think of the film ? +I liked it . I thought it was great . +Yes , I liked it , too . Did you like the acting ? +Yes . I thought it was excellent . Didn't you ? +Not really . I thought it was disappointing . +It's a nice cinema , isn't it ? +Do you think so ? I don't like it very much . I found it rather uncomfortable . +What ’ s up ? You don ’ t look too good . +Yeah , my head hurts , that ’ s all . I ’ Ve been in physics class all day . It ’ s killer ! +I liked physics . It ’ s all math , really , arcs , curves , velocity , cool stuff . +Yeah , yeah , but today ’ s lesson was all about the creation of the universe . +A physics class about the creation of the universe ? That ’ s some pretty unscientific language there . Sounds more religious to me . +It ’ s all religion . Take the theory of the Big Bang.How is it possible that all of the stuff in the universe comes from an explosion ? That ’ s no better than Atlas carrying the globe on his back or African myths about turtles and stuff . +Turtles ? Whatever ... Look , all that ’ s required for the creation of matter an imbalance of particles and anti-particles . At least , that ’ s what the math says . +Math , sheath . What ’ s the evidence ? +There is evidence ! You know Edwin Hubble ? He ’ s the guy who in the early twentieth century was the first scientist to measure the drift of matter in the universe , thus advancing notions of an expanding universe . What would it be expanding from ? Well , the Big Bang ... DUH ! +Anyway , it ’ s just a theory . Why do people go around touting theories ? Where ’ s the scientific rigor in that ? +Dude , don ’ t equivocate . A theory only becomes a theory after withstanding rigorous testing . You slept through class , didn ’ t you ? +Which film shall we see ? +There is nothing good at the moment.Let ' s do something different.Would you like to go to a concert ? +Yes , I'd love to.Here is a good one , Mozart and Beethoven.It ' s on the Festival Hall.Shall we go there ? +Fine ! Do you want anything to eat now ? +No , I'm not hungry . +Well , let's go and have something to drink instead . I know a good place . It's a little expensive , but it's fun . +Everyone wants to be financial lose kill . You must invest your savings if you planed to retire rich . I ’ m thinking about buying stocks . It can be a good investment if I can manage well . What do you say ? +I partly agree with you . Buying stocks is not difficult , but making money consistently from buying stock is very difficult . Even professionals don ’ t find it easy , so be careful . Anyway , people like us need help with investing . Why not do some online research ? There are data , reports and discussion forums to educate people on how to invest . In addition , you need to visit an established website that offers stock charts . +Wow , you sound very professional . +I just watched the investment TV program last weekend . It has become a very hot topic these days . Actually I am not even a beginner . +Can I borrow your suit ? +That's out of the question . +Bill , how can you hear so happy today ? +Aha . I've read of my roommate . I made a move today . +Really ? What was the matter ? +You knew Brain Locker ? +Brain Locker ? No , I don't think so . What does he look like ? +Well , he's thin and tall . He has brown hair , a holt nose , green eyes and wearing glasses . +Mm . I've seen him a couple of times , I think . +Where are you from ? +I'm from Guangzhou . +Where in China is Guangzhou ? +It's in the South of China . +Well , I must be off now . I have an appointment at six . +In that case , I won ’ t keep you any longer . Drop in anytime . +Ok , Goodbye . +See you later . +Hey ! How was your first day of class ? I ’ m in level two and I ’ m loving my class this semester ! It ’ s great being in a class of international students ! +Mine was ok , except that no one in my class speaks English . I guess it will force me to converse in Chinese more in class so at least I should improve a lot this semester . +That ’ s both fortunate and unfortunate . It ’ s the United Nations in my class ! We have people from all over the world ! There are three Germans , a Pole , a Scottish , two French , an American , a Brazilian , +That ’ s quite the array of nationalities . Everyone in my class is from Asia , except me . There are a few South Koreans , several Japanese , Malaysian , Thai , Singaporean , Filipino , Kazakhstan , and o +Well , I think you ’ re pretty lucky actually . You ’ ll have the opportunity to learn so much about Asian culture . +I guess so , but I think it ’ s going to be hard to relate to my classmates , especially with the language barrier . I think I might change classes . +Don ’ t ! Stay the course ! Your spoken Chinese will be eternally grateful . I bet you it will even surpass mine with all that practice . +I highly doubt it . Your girlfriend is Chinese . +Well , there is that , yes . +Hey , I'm hungry . How about you ? +Yeah , I can really go for some Chinese food right now . +That's a great idea . Let's go to a Chinese restaurant . +I know one . Let's go . +Good morning , Miss Li . +Morning , Mike . +I ’ m sorry that I was absent yesterday . +I ’ Ve already got your certificate for sick-leave . How do you feel today ? +I feel much better now . +Have you received the reading material handed out yesterday ? +I ’ Ve already got it . Thanks . +I will explain it in detail in the next class . Could you preview it ? +I will . +Do you like flowers ? +Of course , I like . +What's your favorite flower ? +Forsythia . It's also called winter jasmine which is the symbol of the spring's arrival . +Spring is a lively season . +Yes . How about you ? +I admire plum blossoms very much . It seems that only it can blossom in the cold winter . +You have a perfect taste ! +It is the symbol of laughing at hoar frost and fighting with snow . I admire the bravery of plum blossoms . +But it used to be ignored by many people . +The bright people will remember it forever . +Well , it's snowing . Let's enjoy the plum blossoms when snowing . +What is the weather like today ? +It stops snowing , but there's a bit wind . +And the streets are covered with ice . Do you know what the temperature is today ? +I missed today's weather for cast in the radio +It seems 10 degree below zero at least . I don't mind the cold weather , but do hate when it get slippery . +The ice is soon be thick for skating . I'm so fine to want a sport +That's fine . let's go skating together tomorrow . +What kind of music do you like listening to ? +I like music that has a fast beat and is lively , like dance music . You know , I go to a disco almost every week . Sometimes it's too loud though . You prefer classical music , don ’ t you ? +Yes , I do . I find it very relaxing . I often listen to Mozart or Bach in the evening after a hard day at work . +I must admit that I like several pieces of classical music . It ’ s certainly more sophisticated that modern dance music . +Classical music is supposed to be good for you brain . Research suggest that it makes your brain more active . Students who listen to classical music while studying perform better . +Really ? Perhaps I should listen to classical music often . I heard that listening to classical music is helpful in reducing stress . +Yes . That ’ s why I listen to it in the evenings . I usually play it as background music while I ’ m cooking or doing other housework . +I ’ Ve got a few classical music CD ’ s . I should follow your lead and increase my brian power . +You can find plenty of recording on the internet too . You can listen to samples and then buy them very cheaply if you like them . +That ’ s a good idea . You should do the same with some music . You might find something you like . Classical music might make you clever , but dance might make you livelier and happier . +That ’ s true . There ’ s clear evidence that people who listen to lively music are lively people . Music can influence a person ’ s feeling and character . +There is a new coffee shop opening up down the street . +I hope that they have a good menu . Most coffee shops only have coffee and Danish . +That's right . You don't drink coffee , do you ? +No , so it's usually boring to join my friends in the afternoon at a regular coffee shop . +What kind of things would you like to see on the menu ? +Maybe a fruit salad and a few different hot sandwiches at least . +That shouldn't be too difficult . Since this is a small neighborhood , maybe they will take this suggestion . +Let's try it ! +Darling , I have news for you . Bobby and his wife , Evelyn , are going to have a baby soon . +Really ? I thought his wife couldn ’ t have a baby . +Actually they ’ re expecting the baby to come on my birthday . +Oh , what a coincidence ! I bet Bobby must be very happy about it . He likes children and always wants a child of his own . +In fact , they ’ re both very excited about the coming baby . Evelyn imagines what their baby would be look like , since one parent is American and the other one is Chinese . +Oh , right . Now I know why they would want to see our boy . It ’ s hard to imagine the wonder ! Are they expecting a boy or a girl ? +It ’ s still a mystery . Because Evelyn is only three-month pregnant . But she begins to take her maternity leave now . +Oh ! You mean she doesn ’ t have to work now ? It ’ s hard for young parents not to overreact , isn ’ t it ? +Well , I am a regular member of this club . +Do you have to pay to join ? +Yes , membership fees vary depending on the club but usually they run into tens of thousands of dollars . +Wow , that much ? Don't they have any public courses ? +Very few , unfortunately . +How was your game today ? +Extremely good . I shot a 78 , including 5 birdies ! +Congratulations ! What's your normal handicap ? +Ten . How did your game go ? +My drives were terrible today . I kept slicing the ball into the roughs and sand traps . +Maybe you can correct it by going to a driving range before you play again . +The concert was really great . +I agree . +The singing group used to be very popular . +I can't believe they would play so good . +I have tickets to The Phantom of the Opera on Friday night . Would you like to go ? +Thanks . I'd love to . What time is the show ? +It's at 8: 00 . +That sounds great . So , do you want to have dinner at 6:00 ? +Uh , I'd like to , but I have to work late . +Oh , that's OK . Let's just meet at the theater before the show , around 7:30 . +That sounds fine . +Is the Chinese team taking the lead ? +No , it's the Japanese team . +Japanese teams always play a dark horse . +Well , their team work is well worth learning . +Do you mind if I ask your friend out ? +Of course , but we aren't going out , we're just friends . +Okay , that's good . +Do you want me to put in a good word for you ? +Harry is so down that he won't talk to anyone . +I know only too well what that's like . +What do you mean ? +I was very sad when I was laid off last year . +Hi , Is that David ? +Hi , Jenny . It's David here . +Hey , what's new ? +Not much . My girlfriend just dumped me . +Sorry to hear that . What happened ? +Well , she told me things just weren ’ t working out and we weren ’ t right together . But I thought things were just great . Why did she say this ? It's completely out of the blue . +Hey , that ’ s not the girl with pink hair , is it ? The girl I saw with Jack yesterday . +What ? She was cheating on me with that ugly guy . Oh , no , I feel like such a loser . +Hey , she is not worth it . Forget her . +But she lied to me . +Hey , she is not worth it . Anyway , there are plenty more fish in the sea . Listen , let's go for a drink in the town . How about that ? +Ok , then . +But you have to promise me that you are not gonna wear that face . +What face ? +The one where you look like your dog just died . You have to get over her and the sooner the better . +Yeah , I know . You are right . +This is a nice set of wheels . How much did the dealer charge you for this ? +A lot . I probably got to moonlight for the rest of my life , but so what , it ’ s worth it . Come on , get in . Let ’ s take a drive . +Okay then , let ’ s go fast ! Whoa ! This thing can really accelerate fast . +Check out what happens when I put on the brakes suddenly . It can stop quickly . +Hey , just watch out for cops or you ’ re gonna end up in the slammer . You know you tend to go fast ? +Yes , I know it . I went through my last set of tires fast . I even had three flat tires in two weeks . +Now watch ... some guys probably run a light and hit your car . +Cut out , would you ? +When's your birthday ? +It's just around the corner . +Bob is getting on in years . +Yeah , I'm very worried about his health . +He looks tired all the time . +He's working too hard . +Which church do you attend ? +I am Mormon , so I go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints . +What ’ s the difference between this and other Churches ? +Mormons believe that , after the death of Christ and the death of the Apostles 10 , their church Christ founded became corrupt and the authority of Christ on earth was lost to men . In 1830 , a prophet named Joseph Smith was brought up by God to restore the church . +Then does that mean the other churches are corrupt ? +That means that they all have parts of the original gospel , but not all . +Do you believe that Mormons have all of it ? +Yes . +Why do you really go to church ? +We gather together to encourage each other , because we have common beliefs . We come together and call it church . +Sorry I was late for the meeting today . I got stuck in traffic . +That's okay . Better late than never . +Hello ! What are you reading about in the newspaper ? +Hello ! I was exhausted some studying , so I decided to read the newspaper to relax . Unfortunately , the news is so depressing . There has been another murder in the city center . I ’ m shocked that the police haven ’ t caught the killer yet . +People are starting to get frightened by it . Everyone will be relieved when they finally catch the murder . +You mean “ if ” they catch the murderer . I ’ m scared stiff about going into the city center at night . +There must have been some good news in the newspaper . I can ’ t believe that none of the news stories make you happy or excited . +Well , there was one good piece of news . You remember the local girl who was dying of a rare blood disease ? +Yes . Her parents were raising money to have her treated in the united states . +Well , they ’ Ve got the money and she ’ s going tomorrow for treatment . +I ’ m so happy for the family ! They must be very relieved and excited about that . +I ’ m sure they are . Oh , and a local man won the lottery . I ’ m so jealous ! I wish it were me ! I buy a lottery ticket every week and I ’ m amazed that I haven ’ t even won a small prize yet . It ’ s so unfair ! +Don ’ t be moody ! I hope you ’ re not tired , because we ’ Ve been invited to a party this evening . I know how excited you get about parties . +Hi ! Tom . Want to go to play bowling tonight ? +Sounds good . When and where shall we meet ? +Let me see . How about 6:30 at the gate of the club ? +Fine , see you then . +Are there many idioms in English ? +There are hundreds and hundreds.English is particularly rich in idiomatic expressions . +Can you give us an example ? +I'll look up the rate.To look up doesn't mean to look high into the sky or to look at the roof.It means to search for and find some information . +What about the expression goodbye ? Is that an idiom ? +That is just a natural , grammatical English expression.It has a direct translation in other languages . +This is interesting , Ms.Parker . +Why did the teacher criticise Myra in front of the whole class ? +Because Myra was cheating on exams , and she spoke back rudely . +I don't think that Myra should have spoken so rudely to the teacher . I know she was angry , but that's still no excuse for rudeness . +Do you know where I can park ? +Do you need a spot here or off campus ? +I want a space on campus . +There's a parking structure for students . +Where can I find it ? +Go to the western side of the campus , and you'll find it there . +Is it full ? +When I went up there , it wasn't full at all . +When was that ? +Sometime this morning . +Would it be full now ? +I am really not sure . +Have you heard of the Love Bug ? +Do you mean the ' I love you ' virus that attacks computers through e-mail ? +Yes . It is one of the most harmful computer viruses in the world . People say it will break out again om Valentines ' Day this year . +This is terrible . Why do hackers play such a dirty trick ? +Hackers are smart , and they want people to know about it . +So they create viruses to tell people they are smart ? That's really sick . +I am confused by what he said . +Why do you say that ? +I don ’ t know what he wants to do . Does he want help me or just scold me ? +Think a little . I think he means well at the bottom of his heart . +Where are you going ? +I ’ m going to the hospital . +What ’ s the matter ? +Professor Wang was hurt in a traffic accident . +That ’ s too bad . How are things now ? +His life is hanging by a thread , and he is under an emergency treatment . +Want to meet for lunch this Saturday ? +Sorry , I can't . I am busy . +What are you doing ? +I always do volunteer work on the first Saturday of every month . +What kind of volunteer work ? +I help out at the children's hospital . I help plan activities . +Oh , yeah ? +Yes , it ’ s exciting . This month we are doing crossword puzzles . +Are the children all grown up now , Rose ? +Oh , yes . Laura ’ s the oldest . She ’ s a computer programmer . +Oh , very interesting . And what about Rita ? She was such a bright child — always reading . +She ’ s a librarian at the public library . +Really ? And Chris ? She was a very pretty little girl . +Christy is working as a waitress at a restaurant in Paris . She ’ s married to a French photographer . +Oh , how interesting . And what about Larry and Rocky ? +Larry drives a truck . He drives all over the country . We hardly ever seen him . +Really ? Where does he live now ? +Colorado . +And does Rocky drive a truck , too ? +Oh , no . Rocky is a pilot . +Really ? Where does he fly ? Does he fly to other countries ? +Yes . Mostly to England and France . +Merry Christmas , Linda ! +Merry Christmas , Lee ! +Linda , thank you for this wonderful Christmas dinner . I really enjoyed it . +Thank you for coming . I'm glad you liked it . +Where's your better half ? +She's at home . +Look , there are some words on the fish . +I know that they are auspicious fish . It's quite popular nowadays . +For God's sake ! It's too bloody . How can people be so cruel ? +Not at all . I think the tattoos are so cool and chic . +You can't prick the fish to please the sick tastes of some bloody people . +Honey , it's not so serious . It's just an animal . +Just an animal ? But it has life too . If you want a tattoo , get one . It's your choice because you want it . But has anyone asked the fish if it wanted one ? +OK , I understand , but what else could we do ? +Who's singing in your home , Jim ? +It's Ellie and her friends . +Who's Ellie ? +She's my little niece.It ' s her birthday.They ' re singing " Happy Birthday " . +Oh , I see.how old is she ? +She's ten . +I suppose they're playing games . +Oh , yes.Ellie was playing games all day yesterday.By the way , Alice , when's your birthday ? +Today . +Today ? +Yes . +Well , imagine that ! How old are you ? +Eighteen.Some friends are having a birthday party for me tonight.Do you want to come ? +Very much.What time ? +About 6:00 . +I'll be at your house at about 5:30 . Happy birthday . +Well , it was nice meeting you . +Yes , I hope we meet again . +Sure , I'll give you a call . +Okay . +I saw an interesting program on TV last night . It was about elderly people . +And what did the program say ? +It said that people with a positive attitude 7 tend to live longer and happier . +I think that many physicians 8 now agree with that idea . +And the TV program also said that physical exercise helps people deal with stress . +And the most active older people seem to enjoy some kind of physical exercise . My father is over 60 years old , and he lifts weights every day . +Did you see the information on sales for last year ? The sales review was made at our last board meeting . There's a great news for our shareholders . +Yeah , I went over the figures this morning . We're finally started making money again ! +We've never sold this much before , our growth this year has been phenomenal . We have captured 8 % of the market , up from last year by 120 % . Our strategy is working ! +not only our annual sales brake a record , but our month by month earnings exceeded our forecast as well . After a two-year slump , we finally back in the black . +The company's performance has improved since Wallace became president . He's made our little business into a real lucrative operation . Products are selling like hotcakes . +I think our success is partly because of Wallace's contribution , and partly because of our new marketing strategy . Because of the new advertising campaign , we have become the top sellers in the field . +Let's hope this stroke of good luck lasts . I hope we are over our financial difficulties for good . +Let's hope it is ! +What a letdown . I wanted to experience some Mafia culture firsthand . +It's worth it just to go and eat what the mafia eat ! The five-dollar tiramisu is a culinary orgasm . +Such a thing exists ? +Fortunately , yes . You're blushing ! +Am I ? Um ... my face gets red when I walk too fast . +You're embarrassed , aren't you ? You gotta loosen up in Little Italy . The lady at the cafe will kiss you when you meet her ... +Did you get any rewards or honors in college ? +Yes , I received the scholarship 3 times on end . +Did you join the Communist Party of China ( CPC ) ? +Yes , I joined the CPC when I was a freshman +Your brand new car is so excellent . I like it very much . +Let ’ s go for a joy ride . +Are you watching the soccer match tonight ? It must be the most exciting one in this season . +Well , of course I can ’ t miss it . Which team are you for ? +Manchester United . What about you ? +Me too . Do you think they are going to get the championship this time ? +I have confidence in them . +The weekend's finally here ! +And it's a long one . I have Monday off . It's Memorial Day or something like that . +Yep . It's the kickoff of the barbecue season . We're invited to a grill party in the park tomorrow . +Sounds good . What do we need to bring ? +We need to buy some buns for the hot dogs and hamburgers , and I'm making potato salad . +I'll dig out the Frisbee and my kite from Taiwan . +Hi , Martin . I ’ Ve been looking for you all morning . +What ’ s up ? +I want to say goodbye . I ’ m leaving for America tomorrow . +America ? Did you get admit to MIT ? +Yes . +Congratulations ! Susan . I ’ m so happy for you . +Thank you . +Really going to miss you . +Me too . I ’ ll write to you once I get settled . But I have so much to do . You might have to wait a while . But I really will write to you . I love to write letters . I think it ’ s more meaning than the emails even than the phone call . +Ok . Take care . Have a nice journey . +Thank you . +Look after yourself . Bye . +Bye . +You know , Taylor's been in the hospital for a couple of days . +And I'm the one who put him there with my football moves . +But you're not to blame for them keeping him there . +Yeah , what was all that stuff about running tests about anyway ? +I'm not sure , but we can find out . I bought some crosswords to keep him busy . +Great , then let's go visit him . I want to give him some flowers , too , to say sorry . +Did you see Ally Mabel last night ? +Yes , I did . Did you ? +Yes , wasn't it funny ? +Oh yes , I loved it . Wasn't the scene with the judge great ? +Ha , yes , brilliant ! +Look out ! Your tea water is running over . +Oh , would you please turn off the fire ? My hands are sticky with the dough . +Sure . +Thanks . +Did you see May today ? +Yes , but why does she have such a long face ? +I don't have the foggiest idea . +I thought she'd be happy . +Yeah , especially since she got a promotion recently . +I don't know . Maybe it ’ s some kind of personal problem . +I don't think the teacher had a right to say that . The teacher was wrong to have accused her in front of the whole class . +You've got to be joking ! It's the teacher's right to say anything wants , and if she saw Myra cheating , she certainly had the right to say so . +I agree she had the right to say something , but I feel she should have done it privately . +You're right . If I were the teacher , I wouldn't have done that . +Come on in . I am so glad you are here . We have been expecting you . +Am I late for the party ? Looks everyone is already here . Hope I didn ’ t miss something interesting . +No , you are just on time . We haven ’ t really started yet . +Great , here are some flowers for you . I hope you like them . I was not sure if the color will suit your new apartment . +Thank you , they ’ re beautiful . You can hang your coat over there . Try this new couch , it is so comfortable . You will love it . Want something to drink , tea , coffee , juice or Cola ? +Don ’ t bother . I will help myself . +Make yourself at home . +It is such a nice place . +Well , I don ’ t mean to boast but all the designs are done by myself and some colleagues are already trying to copy some of them for their new apartments . Look , they are making photos now of my designed kitchen . +Steven , would you like to go dance with us tonight ? +John , I am just not in the mood for this . +You look so upset . What's going on ? +I lost the table tennis game yesterday . +Oh , what a pity ! +I just don ’ t want to play table tennis any more . +Is it that bad ? It ’ s nothing more than a game . +My opponent bowled me with the very first ball . I was wondering if it's appropriate for me to play table tennis . +Oh , come on ! Failure is the mother of success . Don ’ t lose heart . I'm sure you'll succeed . +Perhaps you are right . But I still need some time to recover from the failure . +I understand . +The band is pretty good . How do you like the music ? +It's very nice . I haven't heard live music in a while . This is fun . +Well , then , may I invite you for the next dance ? +Of course . But I'm afraid I'm not much of a dancer ... +Don't worry . I'm not much of a dancer myself . +You're dancing so well . +You dance beautifully too . +When did you learn to dance ? +In college . But I don't dance very often . What's your favourite dance ? +It's hard to say . It depends . But I love the waltz . +How about tango ? +Oh , I like it . It's such a beautiful dance , but I can't do it well . What about you ? +Tango is my favorite . Anything but hip-hop or the foxtrot . ( the music has stopped ) +Thank you for the dance . +My pleasure . Let's go and have a drink . +OK . +I think the biggest environment problem in my country is air pollution . +Yes , I agree . The air here is much more polluted than in my country . Of course , my country is more agricultural and has much less industry . +We have reduced emission of air pollutants in recent years , but cars are still a major source of them . Factories have become cleaner as stricter environment pollution law have been introduced . +The problem is now on a truly global scale . I don't believe that any single country can do anything about it . +I think you're right . There needs to be an international response to this problem ? +I just had a terrible week . +What a shame ! +I fell down and hurt my arm . +That's too bad . +Then my son drove into a tree . +I'm sorry to hear that . +The dog bit the delivery boy . +What a pity ! +And a storm blew our roof away . +Ho , no ! +I ’ m so excited , mother . Oh , a new baby ! +My first grandchild . +And my first nephew . He looks a lot like you , mum . He does . +Do you think so ? Well , I guess . He does look a lot like me . Oh , he ’ s got Richard ’ s eyes though . +Yes , he does have Richard ’ s eyes . The baby even looks like you than Richard does . +Well , children usually resemble their parents . +It ’ s true . Michelle is a lot like Henry in so many ways . And she is shy with new people just like he is . +You often like comparing children with their parents . +You ’ re right . +When do you go to bed usually ? +I go to bed at ten and get up at six . +That's helpful for your health . +Sure . +Have you been ever been to Disneyworld ? +When I was young , my parents took me to the one in California . I always forget which — is that one Disneyland or Disneyworld ? +The one in Florida is Disneyworld and the one in California is Disneyland , so you must have been to Disneyland . +That's right . Why do you ask ? +Well , I've never been to either so I was thinking of going to Disneyworld for my honeymoon . +When are getting married ? +Some time next year . We haven't set the date yet . +Congratulations ! I had no idea . +Thank you . So what do you think ? Would we have a good time ? +Do you like amusement parks ? +For the most part , yes . Some of the rides are bit too scary for me , though . +If you don't think twice about the rides and go on every ride that you can , you'll have a good time . +Even the roller coasters that go through tunnels in the dark ? +Even those . It'll be very romantic , I think . You'll have loads of fun . +Thanks for the advice . I'll talk to my fiance about it tonight . +I'm sure he'll love the idea . Just throw yourself into it and you'll enjoy it ! +Can you speak French ? +Yes , I can , but not very well . +Can you understand your Spanish teacher ? +More or less . How well do you understand Mr . Wang , your Chinese teacher ? +About 40 percent , if he speaks slowly.When he speaks fast , I can only catch a word here and there . But Mr . Wang is an excellent Chinese teacher.With his help , my Chinese is getting better and better e +you look better today . How did your test go ? +much better than it did yesterday . +did you pass ? +I not only passed my test , but I aced it ! I'm so happy ! +you should be . You worked really hard last night preparing for it . +thanks for helping me with it . If you hadn't encouraged me to do my best , I wouldn't have ever been able to pass . +you don't have to thank me . It's just a part of my job as your counsellor . +did you always do well at school ? +no , in fact , I was terrible at taking exams . +really ? +sure , but my teachers always encouraged me to do the best that I could and that helped me a lot . When are your final exams ? +I'll get my finals in two months . +when do you plan on studying for those exams ? +most students just cram the night forehead . +do you think that's a good idea ? +no , I think I should study a little bit at a time , starting a few weeks before the exam . +that sounds like a good idea . What are you going to do if you have any questions while you're studying ? +I'll go and talk to my professor or a learning support assistant . +it sounds like you've learned something useful this year ! +Can I borrow your Cds for our school dance ? +Oh , you don't ask much , do you ? +I promise I will personally guard every single one and they will come back in perfect condition . +I'll tell you what . Your class can rent them from me for the night and buy back any damaged ones . +That sounds fair . That's still cheaper than paying a band to come play for us . +Not as fun though . A live band is way more exciting ! +Our class doesn't have enough money . We already checked into it . +Let me know with your next dance . I know a band that may give you a break for the publicity . +Do you want to go to the beach tonight ? +Sure , which beach are we going to ? +I wanted to go to Malibu beach . +I like Santa Monica . +The water there looks so dirty . +I just like the pier they have at Santa Monica . +I like the pier too , because it's beautiful at night . +Is Malibu beach nice ? +It's a lot nicer , and I really like it better . +So you want to go to Malibu ? +If that's okay with you . +Sure , let's go to Malibu . +There are so many environment problems in the world today . Do you think we can really solve them all or will destroy the world ? +I hope that world leaders can get together and agree on a plan for action , but I doubt it ’ ll happen before it ’ s too late . +We need to solve the problem of air pollution before we destroy the atmosphere . There ’ s lots of clean , modern technology , but companies in developed countries say it ’ s expensive . Developing countries put more emphasis on economic development than on environment protection . +Everyone is looking at the issue in the short term , rather than the long term . It ’ s the same with the destruction of the rainforests . Countries and companies just want the wood . They ’ re not thinking about the long-term damage to the forests . We should also remember that the forests are an important natural habitat for thousands of species of animal and plant life . +In other parts of the world , especially in Africa , there is a problem with desertification . Climate change and over-farming are causing farmland to turn into desert . In means that people cannot grow enough food . +It also means that people sometimes fight over the famp 3land that remains . Damaging the environment actually leads to conflict between people . +Have you ever thought about joining an organization committed to protecting the environment ? You could get involved with projects to improve the environment . +I think I ’ d like to do that . I could take the things I learn here back to my country when I have finished my studies . +Kathy ! How are you ? It's been ages ! What are you doing these days ? +I just opened my own restaurant . I'm also head chef . +You're kidding ! You've always hated cooking ! +Well , I used to hate cooking , but now I love it . +When did you change your mind ? +After I tried French food . Before that , I used to cook really boring things for my family . +I still can't believe it ! So , did you go to cooking school or something ? +Yeah . I went to California to study . +Really ? How long did you stay there ? +I was there between 88 and 90 . +And what did you do after that ? +Then I came back here . I worked for about three years to get some experience . +Susan , I am inviting you and Frank to our house warming party this weekend . +A house warming party ? +Yes , Deborah and I are going to buy a new home in Woodlawn . +Congratulations ! That ’ s wonderful . I bet both of you are quite happy . +Well , we have always dreamed of owning our own home , but real estate 1 in this area is extremely expensive . +I understand . That ’ s why Christopher and I want to find a place in a small town , far from the city . +That ’ s a good idea if you can find employment nearby . +I agree . That ’ s why Christopher is already looking for a job in Maine , or Wisconsin . +What can I do for you ? +I am trying to find this book . +What ’ s the problem ? +It doesn ’ t seem like this library has it . +Have you checked the computer ? +I have already . +What did it say ? +It says the book is on the shelf , but I didn ’ t find it there . +I can always borrow the book from another library . +You can do that ? +I ’ ll make the call and contact you when it gets in . +That ’ s fantastic . Thank you . +ABC Rent-a-Car . May I help you ? +I would like to rent a car . What kind of car do you have ? +We have Volkswagen , Pinto , Plymouth and Datsun . +What is the rate ? +Twenty dollars per day for Volkswagen , Pinto and Datsun , and twenty-seven dollars for Plymouth . +How about mileage and gas ? +There is no charge for mileage . And fill up the gas when you return the car to us as it is not included . +OK . I'll try a Pinto . I want to rent a car for one week . +All right , sir . May I have your driver's license ? +Here you are . +Would you be willing to accompany me to the party tonight ? +Sure , I'd love to . +Which film shall we see ? +There is nothing good at the moment.Let ' s do something different.Would you like to go to a concert ? +Yes , I'd love to.Here is a good one , Mozart and Beethoven.It ' s on the Festival Hall . +Fine ! Do you want anything to eat now ? +No , I'm not hungry . +Well , let's go and have something to drink instead . I know a good place . It's a little expensive , but it's fun . +Spring Festival is the most important festival in China , isn't it ? +Yes , that's true . +How long is the holiday ? +It depends.But usually it's about 15 days . +Do you eat any special food for the festival ? +Yes , dumpling is a must.There is also other food.For example , people eat chicken for good luck . +That's interesting . I'm told the Chinese firework is very beautiful , isn't it ? +Yes , it's really wonderful ! +Oh , great ! I hope I can spend this Spring Festival with you here in Beijing . +I'm sure you'll have a good time . +I'm really sick of waiting for a bus . +Yeah.Especially when you have something urgent to do . +But a taxi costs too much . +That's true . +I feel absolutely horrible . My temperature is 41 degrees Celsius , and I've got a headache and a runny nose . +do you have any other symptoms ? +I've also got a terrible stomach-ache . Is my face still swollen ? +just a little . Has your toothache gone now ? +yes , for the most part . It doesn't feel as bad as my other ailments , anyway . +how about your tongue ? Does it still hurt ? +no , the burn ointment seemed to take effect right away . I think it's already healed . +how did you get that burn again ? +I scalded on the hot coffee a few days ago . +you haven't had much luck lately , have you ? +no , but I'm sure I'll get better soon . +when's the last time you took your tablets ? +I took the red ones just before lunch and the white ones just after lunch . +I think it's time you took another does of each . What would you like to drink with them ? +just some water , please . Do you have any ointment for my nose ? It feels so itchy after blowing my nose so much . +sure , I'll just go and get it now . what would you like to eat ? Some soup ? +that sounds good . +soup always makes me feel better when I'm sick . I hope it makes you feel better , too . +I haven't got enough evidence for prosecuting him . +Why don't you find someone who is in the know . +I'm just thinking about that , but the trouble is , I don't know who is well in the know . +Did you ask his former secretary , Lora ? She knows a lot about him . +Thanks for reminding me . She's the right person to help me . +What are you two doing in here ? +We heard you weren't feeling well , so we came to check on you . +I was sitting there giving out nametags and all of a sudden , there she was . +Who , Femi ? Yeah , Yi-jun saw her inside . +All these memories of prom night came back to me . I had to be alone . You remember that night ? +I remember someone spiked my punch . You sat with me in the girl's bathroom ... +You're not looking happy.What ' s the matter ? +Oh , nothing special . I'm just a bit tired . +With the job ? +With everything , with everybody , with all this ! +A good suggestion for you.You need a holiday . +It wasn't always like this , you know . +What do you mean ? +Well , I mean.We always do the same thing.There ' s no variety in our lives . +You need a holiday.That ' s what's the matter . +Certainly , perhaps . +Oh dear , Miss , you are soaked ! Wow , it's really raining heavily outside . +Yes , it sure is . I had to run here from work ! I need to rush as I'm on my lunch break . +Well please , why don't you go ahead of me in line ? I'm in no hurry . +Oh , that's so nice of you ! Thank you very much . +My pleasure Miss . Actually , could you recommend what to eat here ? I've never been here before . +Sure . Well , the avocado sandwich is delicious , and it's the healthiest thing on the menu . Personally , I think the beef salad is the tastiest choice . I usually get that . Also , the milkshakes are the best milkshakes in town ! +Well , thanks for the suggestions . +Oh , don't mention it . +Dad , what's the date ? +It's December eighteenth . +In seven days it will be Christmas Day . +Yes , I know that . +So , can I buy some new shoes as a Christmas present ? +Sure , a promise is a promise . +What happen , John ? +Nothing . +Why do you look unhappy ? +I ’ m rather disappointed at not being able to see my best friend off . +Oh , cheer up . He ’ ll understand you . +This man is your fiance , Dolly ? +Yeah , how do you like him ? +He's handsome . +Can you give me a touch of his character ? +He's outgoing and honest , but sometimes he's a bit conservative . +Do you think I should buy this now and bring it with us ? +Don't bother . those are a dime a dozen where we are going . +Brooke , are you still mad ? Is your mom mad ? +No ... mom said that we'll have the wedding at home on the 2nd . So let's hope your mom is right about that being a lucky day ... +It will be . And today is , too . I just talked to the airlines ... +They're going to give us back the seats ? +No , they're giving us discount tickets on a honeymoon package in ... +Hawaii ? My dream honeymoon destination ? +You got it ! We'll fly there directly from Texas . +Oh , Jack ! That's wonderful ! +The world changes , the family changes too . +What do you mean ? +People now like a small family composed of two parents and one child . +That is called a nuclear family . +I don't like such a family . +What kind of family are you like ? +I like a family composed of many people . It includes grandparents , parents , aunts and uncles , and children . +It's a traditional family . It may be too large to live well . +We can live well , I think . +What was that all about ? +We had a difference of opinion . +Is she going to be okay ? +She'll be fine . +Is sailing fun ? +You bet ! +John dates her seven times a week . +Really ? That's a straws in the wind . +I think so . Maybe he's fallen for her . +Yeah . They suit each other . A perfect match between a man and a girl . +Right . +I was told my friend Joe was speaking ill of me . That's a real let-down . +I don't think Joe has done such a thing . Don't believe things in haste . +Maybe I should go and ask him whether it's true . +Good morning , Loans . +Good morning , Mr . Smith . +I would like to compliment you on your diligence . +Well , thank you , Mr . Smith . But I was just doing my job . +Yes . And we're proud of you , Loans . +It's nice of you to say so . +Which countries have you been to ? +I ’ Ve been to most of the countries in Europe , several countries in asia-china , Japan , korea , and Thailand-and to the united states and Canada . +I thought you had been to Australia too . +No , but I ’ m planning on visiting Australia and new Zealand soon . I ’ Ve heard that they are beautiful countries . Which is the most beautiful country you ’ Ve been to ? +I think I ‘ d say norway . It has many picturesque fjords , waterfalls , and mountains . +Isn ’ t it really cold there ? +Well , the north of Norway is almost always cold , but further south it can be fairly warm in summer . It ’ s a wet country , so there ’ s snow almost everywhere in winter . +I ’ Ve been to other Scandinavian countries , but not to Norway . Perhaps I should go and do some winter sports there . +Alison , would you like to have some more ? +No thanks . I have had enough . +Actually you haven't have much . +To tell you the truth , I am on the diet . +That sounds ridiculous . Why ? +Well , I am gaining weight these days , and I have to watch my calories . +Welcome to my birthday party , I am so happy you can come . +Thanks for inviting me . Here is the gift for you . Happy birthday , Francis ! Many more happy and healthy years for you ! +Thank you , shall I open it now ? +Yes , please do . +Wow , a remote car model and my favorite brand . I really like it . That is so nice of you . +Yeah , I was really struggling whether I should give you this nice little car . It was the last one they had and I really like it so much myself . +Typical you , always wanting to keep the best things for yourself . The more I appreciate the gift now . +Did you read the news that ' China's property prices rose at the fastest pace in 18 months in December , ending the year with rising fears of bubbles in the property market ' ? +No . Does the newspaper say what has caused that ? +Yes . It says the hike was a result of purchase rush in the fourth quarter on expectations of tightening politics . +I think the government should make a serves of moves to cool the market . +Right . The climbing property prices has become a headache for Chinese residents . +I think that show biz stars have a really easy life . They have lots of money , so they can buy almost anything they want . They ’ re famous , so everyone loves them . +I think they must have horrible lives . All the paparazzi take photos of them wherever they go and whatever they do . They must get sick of it . +I bet they love it really . Sure , they complain about it , but that just gets them more publicity , doesn ’ t it ? +I think that few of the show biz stars want any publicity for themselves . They only want it for their films . +No way ! They want publicity for themselves , so that they get invited to make more films , go to lots of cocktail parties , and even make albums ! They have such an easy life . They don ’ t even pay for drinks when they go to a cocktail party . +Show biz stars have plenty of expenses . That ’ s why they need so much money . They need million of dollars to buy big , seclude houses and wonderful dresses . I bet most show biz stars would prefer to wear jeans and a t-shirt , but they can ’ t because their managers force them to wear clothes they don ’ t like . +I don ’ t understand how you can have any sympathy for show biz stars . They ’ re overpaid , over-ambitious , and over-adored . +I think you should give them some credit . They ’ re very talented people and they deserve all the money they earn . They even donate money to charity to help people who are less fortunate than themselves . +Come on ! They only do that to get even more publicity for their films and themselves 。 +Hi , it is a pleasant surprise ! +Yeah , it ’ s been ages ! So how have you been ? +Couldn ’ t be better . And you ? +Just as usual , you know . +Hey , Mary , can you cut that out ? +Cut what out I ’ m not doing anything . +The tapping of your pen on your desk . It ’ s driving me crazy . +Fine ! By the way would you mind not slurping your coffee every time you have a cup ! +I don ’ t slurp my coffee . And plus , how can you hear it when you ’ re shouting into your phone all the time ? +You ’ Ve got to be kidding me ! You ’ re complaining about me talking on the phone when you go out for a cigarette break ten times a day to shoot the breeze ? +Look , we have a lot of accumulated anger from working in these conditions , and it ’ s probably okay to let off steam once in a while . But , it ’ s probably not a good idea to keep it up I ’ m willing to forgive and forget and if you are . +Fine . Let's call a truce . I'll try to more considerate and to keep the noise down . +Yeah , I ’ ll try to do the same . So , I was wondering you wanna go out to dinner Friday night ? +The weather in Beijing is just beautiful ! +Autumn is the best season in Beijing , you know . +Yes , I can see . The summer heat is over , and the winter cold is still far away . +What is the weather like in Washington at this time of this year ? +Autumn is also very nice in Washington . +Is it very cold in winter there ? +No , it isn't . But sometimes it snows a lot in winter . +Does it rain a lot in summer there ? +Oh yes ! Sometimes it rains very heavily.How about here in Beijing ? +There's a lot of rain in summer , but it seldom rains in autumn . +I feel it's rather dry here . +That's true . Many people from the south don't like the weather here . +Are you from the south ? +No , I'm from the north . I was born in Beijing , actually . +I see.so this is your hometown ? +Mike , come and look at this painting of shrimp ! It is so simple yet so vivid ! +Yeah . It is incredible ! Is it the work of Qi Bakshi ? +Yes , it is . How do you know that ? +Well , Qi is famous all over the world , isn ’ t he ? Besides I am quite interested in Chinese painting . +Cool ! What kind of Chinese painting do you prefer , free sketch or claborate-style painting ? +I prefer free sketch , especially the landscape paintings . I can always feel peace and harmony from those landscape paintings . +That's true . Chinese art stresses the harmony between man and nature , which is an important part of China's traditional culture . +I love this art exhibition ! +So do I . Let ’ s go to other areas to see what they have got , shall we ? +OK . +Lousy weather , isn't it ? +It has stopped snowing , but it's even colder . +Look at the ice there hanging from the eaves . +And the streets are covered with snow . +Do you know what the temperature is today ? +I missed today's weather forecast over the TV . +It feels like ten degrees below zero at least . I don't mind the cold weather but I do hate it when it gets slippery . +The ice will soon be thick enough for skating . I am so fond of winter sports . +That's great . Let's go skating together tomorrow . +Nick , it's very nice of you to see me off . +You're welcome . Did you have a good time on this vacation ? +Very well . If I leave I'll miss you . +Me too . Please write to me as soon as you get Boston . +I'm sure and I remembered your phone number . I'll call you . +OK , they begin to register . +It's time I left . +Have a nice journey ! Do give my regards to your parents . +What are your working hours ? +Eight to twelve in the morning , two to six in the afternoon . +Much better than mine . +What are your hours ? +Mine aren't fixed . Sometimes I do the day shift , sometimes the night shift . +Would it be all right if I went home next weekend ? +For What ? +Well , I want to surprise my brother showing up for his birthday . +Well , that sounds like it would be OK . Just be careful . +Could you tell me what university you went to , Mr . Smith ? +I went to Yale University . +Did you ? And what did you study ? +I have a B . A . in Economics . +Would you mind telling me how old you are ? +I'm twenty-seven . +And could you tell me what other jobs you have had ? +Yes , I have worked in a bank for the last years . +And what was your salary at the bank ? +I got $ 500 a week . +Hi , Jane . How are you doing this morning ? +I'm all right , thanks . Just a little tired . +Late night ? +Yeah , I got home around two . +I am going to celebrate my birthday with you all in a night club this year , what do you say ? +Fantastic ! I enjoy clubbing , especially those clubs with live bands . The only fly in the ointment is that the air is bad , full of smoke , and the music is too loud , so conversations are not really possible . Once I nearly got burnt by a cigarette . +How did that happen ? +A wild dancer dropped it on my left foot and said nothing about it . If I had drunk enough and I would have had the bold to punch him in the face . +Sounds cool ! But that is not what a lady should do . People are easy to lose head in a night club and being drunk . +What do you do for a living ? +I ’ m a doctor . +Really ? Do you like it ? +Yes , I do . It ’ s very interesting . What ’ s your job ? +I ’ m a bus driver . +Oh , do you enjoy it ? +No , I don ’ t really like it . It ’ s boring . +what a nice garden ! Look at these tulips ! +that would be a good shot . Can you take my picture here , dear ? Please try to get the garden in the frame as well . +all right . Would you please stand closer to the flower bed ? Good . Smile . Say " cheese " . OK , got you . That's terrific . +thanks . Could you take one more from this angle ? +no problem . +now let's have one together . +do you know how to set the timer ? +let me see ... set the timer first and push the button , oh , come here . +OK , let's have a try . +cheese ... +did it come out ? +yes , but it's blurred and a little dark . +never mind . Let's go to the falls and try again . +Ok , let's go . +Did you watch television last night , Charles ? +Yes , I did . +It was a good game , wasn't it ? +Oh , I didn't watch the football match . I wanted to but my wife preferred to see the old film . +What a pity . It was quite exciting . Both teams played very well . +How did it finish ? +It finished in a draw . What was the film like ? +It was quite good . But . I missed the beginning of it because I had to eat first . +Did your wife enjoy it ? +No , she didn't . After half an hour she stopped watching and started to read a book . +Hey , Vernassa . why be angry look ? +It's the new neighbor . I hate her guts . +I've never seen you so worked up . what did she do to you ? +She made another white crack about my clothes . +Are you sure she was trying to put you down ? +Of course , I am sure . +You shall go easy on her . she is new here . +Just how am I supposed to do that ? +You shall just take it in surprise . +I've tried , but she keeps pushing my buttons . +Try to pull it together , Vernassa . I am sure things will turn note , ok ? +I am not . she is no picnic . +Well . if you think I can help , let me know . +Thanks , Serena . +I ’ m forming a music band . +Do you already know how to play an instrument ? +Uh ... Yeah ! I ’ Ve told you a thousand times that I ’ m learning to play the drums . Now that I know how to play well , I would like to form a rock band . +Aside from yourself , who are the other members of the band ? +We have a guy who plays guitar , and another who plays bass.Although we still haven ’ t found anyone to be our singer . You told me that you had some musical talent , right ? +Yes , I ’ m a singer . +Perfect . So you can audition this weekend here at my house . +Great ! Wait here ? You don ’ t have enough room for the amplifiers , microphones or even your drums ! By the way where do you keep them or practice ? +I've heard you're going to America tomorrow . I want to see you off at the airport . +Oh , thanks a lot . +What time are you leaving ? +1 thirty P . m . But I've got to check in at 12 thirty P . m . +What airline and what flight ? +Pan American Airlines . Flight 282 . +I'll see you at the airport at 12 thirty P . m . +Ok . See you tomorrow . +I ’ m sorry , dad . But you can ’ t do that . It ’ s for me to decide . +Oh , I see . You ’ Ve already decided , have you ? Now , you listen to me , you ’ re only 19 . +I didn ’ t say I ’ d already decided , dad . I said it was for me to decide . There is a difference . +Oh . So you think you can just do whatever you want , do you ? +I didn ’ t say that either . I was hoping we could discuss the matter together . I want your advice but I don ’ t want you to tell me what to do . I ’ Ve got to make decisions for myself , dad . +Hello , Friendship Restaurant . May I help you ? +I'd like to book a table tonight . +Yes , Sir . For how many people , please ? +Eight . +What time ? +Eight o'clock tonight , would you please set us in a private room ? +So sorry , we're fully booked in that room . Would you like to make reservation some other time ? +Maybe not , thank you all the same then . +Hey , Zina . You're here early today . +Yeah , I'm going to be making phone calls all day . What a blast . +I just wanted to say thanks for putting us on the map so fast . I appreciate it . +Save it , Vince . After I put my first million in the bank , I'll say you're welcome . +Fair enough.Keep up the good work . +That is the most beautiful sunset ! +Let's stop the car and enjoy it for a minute . +Here is a good place . Let's get out . +Wow . We don't get to see this in the city ! +Mother Nature is quite an artist . +Look behind us at the mountains ! They're reflecting pink ! +Amazing . The sun is almost gone and yet there is still color everywhere ! +Where is our camera ? Let's see if we can catch this on film ! +What a nice day ! Why don't we go for an outing ? +Sure.Where would you suggest ? +How about going to the suburbs ? +Sounds good . +Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend ? +Sorry , I thought you knew . +But you should have told me you were in love with her . +Didn't I ? +You know you didn't . +Well , I'm telling you now . +Yes , but you might have told me before . +I didn't think you'd be interested . +You can't be serious . How dare you not tell me you were going to marry her ? +Sorry , I didn't think it mattered . +Oh , you men ! You're all the same . +Hi , Bill . +Hi , Jim . +Where is that cool guy , Dick ? I haven ’ t seen him for two weeks . +He ’ s been sick since he came back from Italy . +Bummer , I ’ m sorry to hear that , is he better now ? +Yes , Doctor William said that he could come back to work ASAP . +Where's Tom this evening ? +He's a little sick under the weather . +Really ! What's the matter with him ? +He has the flu . +Tell him I was asking about him . +I will . +Maybe you should talk to the teacher . +No , it's no use . +You never know unless you try . +I know . She won't change my grade . +well , I finished my last final today . +the end of all the hard work for my master's . what a nice feeling to get my degree ! +do you want to attend the convocation ? +certainly . After years of hard work , I wouldn't miss it . By the way , where can I find cap and gown ? +do you want to have them made or do you want to rent them ? +oh , I think they're provided by the school for that special day . +no . those you have to provide for yourself . +what do most of the students do ? +well , most of them only need a cap and gown for that particular convocation service , but some of the education majors have had them made , because they will be faculty members , and they'll need them f +then , I might as well have them made . +Mary , don't move . Stand right there . It's a good shot . The background is very pretty . +hold it a second . I want to fix my hairpin . +it doesn't matter . Say'cheese ' . +here's Lisa . May I take a picture with her ? +Certainly . Ok , got you . +Do you mind if I ask you a question ? +No , not at all . Go ahead . +What do you do in order to improve your English ? +I go to movies ; I go to lectures ; I listen to the radio ; I do lots of things . Most importantly , I practice every chance I get . +It ’ s a good idea to have a radio , isn ’ t it ? +Sure . It ’ s like understanding on the telephone — — you can ’ t see the speaker ! It ’ s great for improving listening comprehension . +It takes a long time to learn a language , doesn ’ t it ? +It certainly does . But if you practice speaking every spare minute and learn useful sentences every day you can make big progress . +Good morning , Sue . +Good morning , Tom.How are you ? +I'm fine , thanks , how about yourself ? +Things couldn't be better.Where are you going now ? +I am heading for the library . I've got a research project to do.How about you ? +I'm going to the English class.It ' ll start in five minutes , I've got to run . +See you later , alligator . +After a while , crocodile . +Is the environment a big issues in your country ? It is in mine . +It is in mine too.The biggest issue is water . The climate is dry and so water conservation is very important . +What methods do you use to conserve water ? +Water is rationed . We can only use a certain amount each month . It means that we cannot use some modern household items , like washing machines . They use too much water . +I see . I think the biggest environment problem in my country is air pollution . +Yes , I agree . The air here is much more polluted than in my country . Of course , my country is more agricultural and has much less industry . +We have reduced emission of air pollutants in recent years , but cars are still a major source of them . Factories have become cleaner as stricter environment pollution law have been introduced . +The problem is now on a truly global scale . I don ’ t believe that any single country can do anything about it . +I think you ’ re right . There needs to be an international response to this problem . +Hurry up . Time is running out . +I see . I have run as fast as I can . +Hi Cody , how did practicing go this week ? +Well I had several tests and an oral presentation this week so I didn ’ t get a chance to memorize the second page , but I think I mastered the tricky section . +Great ! Warm up with some scales and arpeggios first . Good , good . This week , work on keeping the rhythm steady when you play the last part with the sixteenth note . Now let ’ s take a look at this +Charles ? Before I start I was wondering if it was ok if I put a small crescendo in here and then decrescendo back to pianissimo again over here ? +It might work . I ’ ll have to hear it.Show me what you ’ Ve done . +It was horrible ! I played play it much better at home ! +It ’ s just nerves . Just play the right hand for now . One two three four five six , ta ti tri-ple-ti . Good , good . Don ’ t forget the accidentals ! The key signature says that note should be a G-sharp b +Is that better ? +Yes , much better . Watch where you lift your foot off the pedal . What was that ? +Sorry ! The stretch for that octave is always hard to make . +That's ok , keep going , you ’ re moving ahead by leaps and bounds . Watch your dynamics ! Keep your elbows lifted . Remember to stroke the keys , don ’ t pound . That ’ s better ! Remember that as a pianist or any +Can you tell me the time ? +It's 5:30 by my watch . +Is your watch right ? +Yes . There's only a few seconds in a whole month . +I heard that you're going on your first date Friday night . +Are you angry , Lisa ? +Angry ? Why would I be ? +Please don't tell my mom . +Come on . Dating is a part of young people's social life . Besides , you're sixteen already . +I'm glad that you see it that way . +Do you want to borrow my coat ? I have a black coat that would look smashing on you . +Thank you so much , Lisa ! +Hi , Mary , long time no see . +I heard through the grapevine that your getting married . +Yes , next March . +Congratulations , I hope everything works out . +Jim and you are bosom friends , aren't you ? +I wouldn't say so . +What do you mean ? +Well , I thought he was , but he ends up to be a con man . +is everything alright ? +yes , everything is fine . +what took so long ? I thought your flight was supposed to arrive 3 hours ago ! +didn't they announce that our flight was delayed ? +I didn't hear anything about a delay . I thought everything was running on time . What happened ? +we boarded the plane on time , but then we were held up for almost an hour due to a maintenance problem . +then what ? Your plane was three hours late ! +we finally took off , but about 30 minutes later , the captain came on the loudspeaker to warn us that there would be some bad turbulence for most of the flight . +turbulence is pretty normal , isn't it ? +yes , but this was the worst turbulence I'd ever experienced in my life ! Everyone started getting sick . The flight attendants had to stay in their seats . The captain decided to land early . +so where did you land ? +we landed in Southampton and waited an hour for the storms to pass and then took off again . +that sounds like a nightmare ! +it wasn't too bad . At lease I'm alive . +have you had anything to eat ? +I managed to get a sandwich from a flight attendant . How about you ? +I had a few coffees while I was waiting . Let's get out of here ! +I've got some bad news about the bike you lent me . +What's that ? +I fell on the way to school , and your bike got scratched . I'm really sorry . +Don't worry about it . It's not new , it already has a few scratches . Did you get hurt ? +No , thank you . +That's the most important thing . +It's kind of you to say . I feel a little stupid . +Forget about it . +When you lent me the bike , it looked brand new , almost anyway . +Maybe , but really I have fallen a couple of times and it's been hit once or twice as well . +I appreciate that , thank you . +What date is it today ? +Today is December 23,2002 . +Oh , the day after tomorrow is Christmas . +Merry Christmas to you ! +Hello ! I'm Penny , I moved here just now . +Oh , Penny , I'm Leonard , glad to meet you . +Nice to meet you , too . I thought I should come and say hello to you . I haven't known anybody . +It is hard to get used to a new place , isn't it ? +Yes . Would you like to come here later to have a coffee ? Bring all your family . +We'd like to . Can you tell me when we go ? +About 4 . +OK . Do you want us to bring something ? +No , just come here . +OK , see you later . +Bye . +You know what , last night I almost got hit by a vase falling from the third floor . +Oh , how dreadful ! I ’ m ever so sorry . +Luckily that was nothing serious . +Thank God ! +I do feel like a trip to Florida on such a gloomy day in New York , to enjoy the sunshine while lying on the beaches of Florida . +That's a great idea . It's the best season for tourists in Florida . You can also get a good sun-tan there . +But if the sunshine is too strong , it might damage the eyes and the skin . +You can put on your shades . And remember don't make your skin look like a tomato . Or else after that your skin will begin to flake off . You may even wind up with skin cancer . +I see . Overdoing it will do more harm than good . +You said it . +I just finished reading this article ' Getting Old Gracefully ' . It's a very good article . +What does it say ? +A lot of things . There is a part about how old people should accept being old and stop feeling restless . You really should read it . +Thank you . But I don't think I'll bother . +Why not ? What this article says makes good sense to me . If you read it , I'm sure you'll agree with me . +I don't think I'll have any trouble with getting old . But perhaps you can keep the article for a while , I may read it later . +Thanks for coming shopping with me . +I'm so honored that you thought to ask me . +I've never given a speech in front of a thousand people before . +You're going to do great . And you're going to look great . +Thanks . Now let's decide which one of these suits looks best for this occasion . +I still like the olive one best . There's a tailor here who can take up the sleeves for you . +The question is , can he have it done before Friday ? +These guys are professional . I think they can have it done tomorrow . Let's ask . +I love slim girls , don ’ t you ? +Not particularly . I like fat girls . +And I like a girl with good skin , do you ? +I can ’ t say I do . What I like a girl with good manners . +Well , yes . But surely you like a girl with a nice figure . +Yes . But I like a girl with a nice personality . +But you like a girl to be rich , surely ? +Not particularly . I like a girl to be good . +What's going on here ? +We're waiting in line to get one of Master Li's Chinese couplets . I got one last year and I had good luck all year ! +Master Li ? Who's that ? +He's Taipei's most famous calligraphy master ! Quick ! Get in line ! +I will ! I could use some good luck ! +I suppose you like cinematography and costumes and that sort of stuff ? +Yes , I do . The look of a picture is very important . +I think sound is even more important ! Guns , bombs , sirens--that's what makes a movie exciting ! +You wouldn't know a good movie even if it bit you on the nose . +In my book , all a good movie needs is a chase scene and lots of things that blow up . +Enough ! If we don't finish the game , there won't be time for any movies tonight ! +What day is today ? +It's Thursday , I think . +Tomorrow is Friday . It's going to be the weekend . +We're busy on weekdays , but we'll have a good rest at the weekend . +We'll meet again in a few days . +I decided to go for this kind of life . +Try to keep cool . It's not an easy take . +I know . I always hope for the best and prepare for the worst . +Then you will be in line for a doom . +What day is it today ? +It's Friday . +Are you new to this school ? +Yes , I ’ m new . +Is this your first year in college ? +I transferred from another school . +Where did you transfer from ? +I was at PCC before . +Why did you transfer ? +I was going to go here first , but my grades weren ’ t good enough . +Did you like it at PCC ? +PCC is an incredible school . +Well , I wish you luck here . +I ’ m sure I ’ ll like it here . +There is something wrong with my girlfriend . +What's the trouble ? +The department manager is all over her . He says he loves her . +What about your friend ? Did she fall for him ? +Of course not ! She thinks he's an apple-head . She doesn't like an apple-headed man , you know . +Now you don't have the butterflies in your stomach , do you ? +Are you ready to go to the bank ? +Sure , what do you need to do there ? +There ’ s problem with my bank statement . There ’ s a mistake on it . I also need to withdraw some money some the ATM . +I have to exchange some money . +that ’ s right . You ’ re going away next week . +I also want to see if my salary has been paid into my bank account . There was a problem last week . +I have to pay my credit bill too . If I don ’ t pay it soon , the credit card company will charge me interest . +Their interest rates are usually quite high . It ’ s a good idea to pay off your credit card debts before they attract interest . +It ’ s so relaxing , taking a walk in the country . The air is so fresh and clean . +would you like to live in the country ? I ’ m not sure I ’ d like it . +I can see a lot of advantage and disadvantage . The problem is that , for me , each advantage has its own disadvantage . +What do you mean ? +Well , I hate the noise in the city , but I love being around lost of people . The problem is that you can ’ t have lots of people and have peace and quiet . The two just don ’ t go together . +I see what you mean . I love being far away from a city , but I hate being so far away department stores and sports facilities . +People can ’ t have it both ways . If you live in the country , it is often less convenient . If you live in a city , it is noisy , but there ’ s more to do . +I would love to be surrounded by hills and streams . They ’ re so much better to look at than concrete , rows of parked cars and tall buildings . +I would love to hear the birds singing and feel the fresh breeze on my face . When the wind blows in the city , you get dust in your mouth and in your eyes . +The view from the hill is so beautiful and relaxing . There ’ s so sign of pollution . The village looks so peaceful . +Just remember that in that village there ’ s nothing to do . There ’ s not even a pub or restaurant . There ’ s just one small shop with a poor selection of goods . +You ’ re right . I would have to travel to the city at least once a week to go shopping and see friends . I would hate living in the country ! +Hey Mike . What are you doing ? +Nothing much . What are you up to ? +I was just concerned about Sam . He hasn't been himself lately . +He took the civil service exam and failed . +That sucks . He must feel depressed . +Yeah . He's been sitting in his room everyday for the last 4 days . +Why don't we take him out ? We can try to take his mind off of it . In the least show him that we're there for him . +That's a great idea . Why don't you call him . I already talked to him a couple of times and it might be good for him to hear from somebody else . +Ok . I'll call you back after I'm done . +Sounds good . +Did you hear Peter just retired ? +Are you sure ? He is quite young , isn't he ? +He is not young as he looks . I think he's almost sixty . +Really ? He looks so young . +Hello , Steven . Congratulations ! +Thank you . +How's your married life ? +We're happy together now . We both think that we're a well-matched couple . +That's very good . It's said that marriage is the Ab of love . But the words may not be right . +The situation differs in person . +We have waited for a long time . When will we start ? +Take it easy . I have to cut my losses . +are you working overtime again ? Over the last two weeks , you have worked overtime every day without a break ! Your company is draining the life out of you ! +I know , but I don't have a choice , my boss has complete control over our work schedules . I haven't made it out of the office before 9 PM a single day this week . +Well , I hope they're paying you the big bucks for all this work ... +No , not exactly , I'm working for minimum wage.And they don't give extra pay for overtime . Overtime is our own time . +What ? ! Isn't there a law against that , I think there is some legislation that requires employers to give their employees a fair rate of wages . You should know your rights ! If you are putting in so many hours , they should give you some kind of compensation . +They do give bonuses at the end of the year for the employees with highest productivity numbers , but frankly , it's not much of an incentive . They give us a bonus of ten dollars . +That's just wrong ! why don't you just quit ? +I would , but I'm afraid I would't be able to find another job . I don't have very many job marketable skills , there aren't so many jobs that I'm qualified for . +it sounds like any job will be better than the one you have now ! +The tranquility of the night , the chirping of some insects , everything is so natural ! +I felt as if I had been in a different world . +And I was overwhelmed by this scene , too . +I'd like to reserve a table for three at 6:30 this evening . +Let me check . Hold on , please ... Yes , that's fine . Smoking or nonsmoking area ? +Nonsmoking , please . +All right . May I have your name ? +My surname is Gao . +How do you spell it , sir ? +OK . Come back into the classroom , class . +Does the class start again , Mam ? +Yes , but to the health , this break has long enough . +Oh , breaktime flies . +come on , baby . It ’ s time now . +Mam , another minute , could I ? +Hurry up , little boy . +why are you so upset today , Maria ? Cheer up ! +oh , Iris , it ’ s about the job with the PR company . +it ’ s a great opportunity . You should be happy with the offer . +but my mother won ’ t allow me to accept any part-time job . I ’ m afraid she will say no again . +why ? It ’ s unfair . You can learn a lot from it . +she says a part-time job is cursed blessing . It takes so much time and energy that I won ’ t be able to focus on my studys . +that may be true . But I ’ m sure you ’ re able to find a balance between them . Why not try it ? +I turned down quite a few offers before for her sake . But I ’ m a senior now , I don ’ t want to miss the chance this time . +I agree with you but I think you really need to talk to your mother and tell her what's on your mind . +I ’ ll try , but what if she insists ? +just let her know that the experience will be both amazing and rewarding . And more importantly , you can manage both your study and the job . +do you think it will work ? +sure . Every cloud has its silver lining . Just try . +ok , I ’ ll do that . Thank you , Iris . +sure . Good luck , Maria ! +Where did you go yesterday ? +I went to play tennis in the public park . +How often do you play tennis ? +Twice a week . How about you ? +I seldom play tennis . I prefer football and basketball . +What is very difficult to gather team player together . +I usually play with my school-mates . +Do you like watching football matches ? +Yes . I went to Tinge Sport Centre for football match last Sunday . +Why are you all dressed up ? +I've got a date . +I ’ m sick of my job , I always have to work late at night , and the company keeps me working in the office . +Why don ’ t you find a new career where you can do what you enjoy , being outside working during the day ? +What do you suggest ? I can ’ t afford to quit my job until I get a new one . +Maybe you have two choices . You could attend school during the day , or you could get a position that provides training . +I saw an interesting program on TV last night . It was about elderly people . +And what did the program say ? +It said that people with a positive attitude tend to live longer and happier . +I think that many physicians now agree with that idea . +And the TV program also said that physical exercise helps people deal with stress . +And the most active older people seem to enjoy some kind of physical exercise . My father is over 60 years old , and he lifts weights every day . +Saying you want to kill yourself , you terrified me out of my wits . +I was playing a joke on you . +That ’ s too much . +Dear , forgive me . I won ’ t do that again . +Where are you going this weekend ? +I ’ m going to Hainan . +Oh really ? It ’ ll be nice and warm there . Have you been there before ? +Yes , actually it ’ s my second visit . I was there last October . +I see . What ’ s it like there ? +Well , the life style is much more relaxed than here in the city . And the seafood is tastier ! +Well , have a great time ! +Hurry up , Daniel , it's Barbie time . +All right , Sis ! +Come on , it's cool outside . +I really wish Mom and Dad were here with us . +Hey , Daniel , what's your favorite weather ? Snowy or sunny ? +Me ? Er , I like hot weather , just like today . +What ? Are you crazy ? +I like to watch Barbie sticking her tongue out . +Ew , Danny , gross ! +By the way , what's your favorite weather ? +I love snowy , because it is very very romantic . +Look , is that Tom ? +My girlfriend dumped me . +Well , that's life . +Did Roll win the race ? +Yeah , he did . But he only won it by a hair's breadth . +But anyway , he won at last . +Yeah . To win is the most important thing . +What's this then ? +It's my geography , sir.The Map of Africa you set us . +But this should have been handed in last Thursday . +Yes , I know , sir . I'm sorry . +Well , what's your excuse then ? +My mother's been ill and I had to stay at home . +Oh , Yes ? +It's true , sir . +Hey , This is your order . +Are you new here ? I come to this coffeehouse often . But I didn't see you here before . +Yes . I started this part-time job just three days ago . And my internship will last 1 week . I'm still a student now . +Do you mind if I ask you why you've taken the part-time job here ? +Of course not . You know , there are many foreign customers like you here . And I think it's good for me to improve my oral English . +Oh , are you an English student ? Or you just study English for interest's sake ? +No , I'm not an English student . But I do like English . I'm going to be a volunteer in the 2008 Olympics where I want to be helpful with the language . So I try to improve my English . +Very nice . Thank you for your time . +Thank you , sir . But I'm not allowed to accept any tips . +OK then . I don't want to put you in trouble . +Well , would you like something else ? The new-made cafe parfait is really good . Want some ? +OK . But I'd like some cookies . +Sure . If you want more coffee , please go over there . There is self-help coffee maker . +I surely know that . Don't forget that I am a regular customer here . +Oops . Well , wait for a while . We'll get it done quickly . +It's OK . Thank you . +Do you think the bad weather will last long ? +I don't think so . It changes so quickly this time . +I hope so . We have planed to visit the square but we have to cancel it . +I think you can go to visit the museum . It's worth seeing . You can go to the square some other time . +Good idea . Thanks a billion . +Let's go in . +After you . +Could you tell me what university you want to go to , John ? +Pardon ? +What university would you enter ? +University ? Why ? You asked me last year . +Oh , I forget . Sorry . +I went to Harvard University . +Did you ? And what course did you take there ? +God save me ! Is there anything wrong with you ? Didn't I tell you ? +I've not known . Perhaps , I've got a bad memory . +I did a B . A . in economics . Remember ? +Terrific ! B . A . , again and again-B . A . +I think he deserved his gold . +Did you see his last dive ? +Yes , it's perfect ! +He's diving for the gold . +You are studying here , aren ’ t you ? +Yes . I have been here for three years . +Do you like this campus ? +Well . I ’ m rather disappointed with it . +How come ? +It ’ s too old . And it isn ’ t as specious as I expected . +Oh.It ’ s awful , but it can ’ t be helped . +I ’ ll just have to put up with it . +How I wish my son Mark could be as excellent as your Joe ! +Don ’ t be too humble . Few young men could be equal to Mark . And in some respects Joe and Mark are neck and neck . +I agree . Both Joe and Mark are men of guts . +Hi Mark . +Hi . +What are you planning to do today ? +I'm not sure yet . +Would you like to have lunch with me ? +Yes . When ? +Is 11:30 AM OK ? +Sorry , I didn't hear you . Can you say that again please ? +I said , 11:30 AM . +Oh , I'm busy then . Can we meet a little later ? +OK , how about 12:30 PM ? +OK . Where ? +How about Bill's Seafood Restaurant ? +Oh , Where is that ? +It's on 7th Street . +OK , I'll meet you there . +How have you been ? +Fine , thanks . How about you ? +Hi , Monica , congratulations ! Your presentation at the meeting was very successful and everyone was impressed by your speech . And it was so persuasive and I bet our clients will be convinced to invest their money in this project . You really made a big contribution to our company . +Thank you , I just tried my best . I am very happy to know you like it . +You must have been prepared for a long time . Some statistics in this presentation are not easy to find , right ? +Well , yes . Several colleagues from different departments helped me with that . They are very supportive . I consulted an economic expert last week . He was very kind to give valuable suggestions . +Now , the effort pays off . You have accomplished something . +Come on , don ’ t flatter me anymore . I took the job because I love being challenged . But I can ’ t get this turned around without the support from you people . +I hate to say goodbye , but it's late . +Can't you stay for a little bit longer , it's only 8 . +I wish I could.But I'm afraid I can't . I've got some serious studying to do . I have to go . +OK.See you on Today . +See you on Moday.Have a great weekend . +You too.Thanks for dropping in . +Are you really dating with Frank ? +Yeah . But in my heart of hearts , I find he ’ s not very much to my liking . +Then why not keep away from him ? +The problem is that I just have no one to turn to right now . +That ’ s stupid . +Hi , Jim . How are you ? I haven't seen you for a while . +I'm fine . I've been out of town . I just got back . +Where were you ? +I was in New York for a wedding . +What do you think of the novel you just finished reading ? +I like it a lot . It has a very funny beginning , I think . It attracts your attention the moment you begin reading it . +What do you like best about it ? +I like the plot . It's so full of twists and turns . I also like the main character . She is so humorous and smart . +What do you think of the ending ? +The ending is a bit weak . It's so abrupt , like those of most other detective stories . +Quite a few times , I had my back to the wall . +Really ? Generally they will turn out to be a good thing . +That ’ s right . +You ’ ll exert all your energy and get out of it . +Is that your phone ? +Yes , it's my new business phone . Do you like it ? +It's very impressive . Can you use the Internet on your phone ? +Yes , it's got wireless Internet access . +That's really convenient . Does it have the Bluetooth ? +Yes , but I don't really use it often . Have you ever used it ? +No , but I think it'd be really great for people like you who are always on the go . +Yes , I guess I should try to use it . +Good morning , Mary ! +Good morning , John ! +I want to have a few friends over for a dinner party to celebrate my birthday . Would you be able to come the next weekend on Saturday ? +I'd be delighted to , John . Saturday did you say ? +Yes , if that's all right for you . +I'm pretty sure I'll be all right . In fact , I'd be delighted to come over and celebrate your birthday with you . What time are you planning to start ? +Oh , good . If you could come around six thirty or seven o'clock , that would give us some time to chat a whit over a glass of wine before dinner . +That sounds fine . I'll be there around seven . +Don't worry . I'm sure you'll do better next time . +I didn't realize it was so difficult though I know I'm always too nervous in such competition . +It doesn't matter . Forget it . +I don't think I performed well . +Oh ! That's much hetter than I did . +Can you tell me how to improve myself ? +There's no secret at all . The only thing for you to do is to practice more . You will succeed . +Thank you for your encouragement . +It's a pleasure . Come on . I'm on your side . +I just dropped in to say goodbye . +What time are you leaving ? +I'll leave at 10 o'clock . +Take care and give my best to you parents . +Thank you , I will . Hope to see you again next year . +Come back . You haven't paid yet . +May , just let him go . +But he took some newspaper away without paying . +I know . +Why ? You make me confused . +He lives nearby and he would just glance at the newspaper headlines , read the political sections and return them later . +Why does he have such a privilege ? +He used to be a hero during the war time and everyone respect him . +I see . Does he live by himself ? +Yes , he has no children and his wife passed away when he was in the battle . +He must be lonely ? +I bet . But he is always busy telling the children stories . +How respectable ! +How may I help you ? +I need to get on the Internet . +Do you have your library card with you ? +Yes , I have it . +You ’ re going to have to wait for a computer . +That ’ s okay . +Please put your name on this list . +Then what do I need to do ? +When there is a computer available , I will call you . +What do I do to log on to the computer ? +Just type in the number on the back of your library card . +Okay . Thanks for your help . +Are you coming to the bridal shower for Jane ? +Yes , I am . When is the wedding ? +Aug 8 . +August bride . How nice ! By the way , who is going to be the matron of honor ? +Mrs . White . +Oh , yeah ? I wonder who is going to give Jane away at the wedding . You know her father passed away several years ago . +Maybe her uncle will . +I think so . The wedding will be held at her church , right ? +Right . Red Rochester will officiate at the wedding . +Do you know where they will go on their honeymoon ? +Yes , Jane says they will go to China . +Don ’ t do that again . You are riding the tiger . +No problem . I can deal with it well . +You will ask for it . +All is best now , isn ’ t it ? +Hurry up ! Time is money ! +Don't build a fire under me . I know the importance of time . +But you are too slow to follow them . +Don't you see I'm trying my best ? +Watch out ! You'll hit that car if you're not careful . +Oh no , I won't . But we will have an accident if you don't stop shouting . +You see . I told you you'd hit him if you weren't careful . +Oh , shut up , will you ? It was all your fault.If you'd kept quite this would never have happened . +Oh , so it was my fault , was it ? If I hadn't warned you in time it would have been much worse . +Steve , you look pale . What happened ? +I didn't sleep a wink last night . +Did you have something on your mind ? You look so concerned . Maybe I can help you . +Well , I am under a lot of pressure . My boss is very pushy . He assigned me three projects . Now the deadlines are near , and I still have not finished all of my projects . +Is there anything I can do to help you ? +Well , I guess no one can help me but myself . For the moment , I just need someone to talk to , so that I can relieve my stress . +Lodge , You must come around sometime , You have to check out my mew stereo . +Sure , When is good time for you ? +Can you make it on Tuesday ? +What time do you want me there ? +Anytime after six will be fine . +All right , It's a date . +My friend Jean is very beautiful . +What's her figure ? +Perfect , and I like her charming eyes too . +What's the color of her eyes ? +Dark blue . +What ’ s the life expectancy in your country ? +I ’ m not sure , but probably about 75 years . How about in your country ? +About 70 , I think . This newspaper article talks about the problems of an aging population . It ’ s a problem that will soon affect most of the world . +I heard that the government might need to increase the retirement age , because otherwise there will not be enough workers to support the young and the elderly . +Perhaps we need to have more babies ! Tina gave birth to a baby boy yesterday . +Did she ? That ’ s great . However , if we have too many children , that will have a bad effect on the enviroment . +How ’ s your son these days ? +Oh , he ’ s fine . Kids seem to grow up very quickly nowadays . +He ’ ll be a teenager before you know it ! Teenagers are often rebellious ! When do you think it is a good age to have a child ? +I had mine when I was 24 . that ’ s a little young . I ’ d suggest you wait until you are in your late twenties . , or even in your early thirties if you have a good career . +Yes , I think you ’ re right . I ’ m thinking about having a child , but not just yet . +Is there a big generation gap between parents and their children in you country ? +Yes , there is . Teenagers do not want to live traditional lives . They want to go out , have fun , and explore the world . They want to develop their own view of life . Parents usually try to discourage them , but they don ’ t often succeed . +Parents usually give their children more freedom in my country . Sometimes they give them too much freedom . +It ’ s almost impossible to get the right balance . If you are too strict , kids might ignore you . If you are too lenient , they might go wild . +Hey Mike . I forgot about registration . I'm a day late , so all the classes are mostly full . What do you think I should do ? +You're screwed . You can't do anything about that . You have to hope that you get some classes that will be useful . +Do you think going to the registration building will help at all ? +No . They will tell you the same thing in a worse way . +Did you register yet ? +Of course . Registering for classes is not something you want to miss . +What classes do you think are still open ? +Well , I know psychology 101 is a big class , so there will always be seats in that class . You can also get into Sociology . +That's helpful . Thanks . But what do you think about philosophy . I wanted to take that class this semester . +I took that class last year . The professor is really cool , so if you go to his office , you can have him sign a card that will let you in even if the class is full . +He does that ? +I guess that's because so many people drop out of that class . +That makes sense . I think I'll do that . Thanks for all the help . +No problem , man . +Thanks for helping me move into my new house . +Any time . I'm just glad I could help . +I've been so stressed these days . +What's the matter ? Are you OK ? +I don't know where to go for college , and what to major in . +Don't worry . You have plenty of time to decide . +And I also want to get scholarships to help me pay for the tuition . I want to get the burden off my family . +You always worry too much about everything . Take it easy , honey . You are good enough . You can go to the ideal college . +OK , OK . I'm so sorry . By the way , for you , is it more important to make money or to enjoy your work ? +In a perfect world , I would enjoy my work if I do not have to do much , and make lots of money ! +OK , honey , stop dreaming . You should face the reality . +That's only a joke . To be honest , I have to improve my English , because my English is not good enough . I still get confused about some simple grammars . Since you are quite good at it , do you have any suggestions ? +En , first you should be concentrated on what the teacher said in class . Second , I suggest you to take an additional course in some training center . +Is the training center helpful ? +I think so . Because I've taken one to improve my oral English during summer vacation . +I'm glad we live in a small town . +Why ? +Because the houses look so nice at Christmas time . +Yes , they do . Do you have a Christmas tree this year ? +Yes , we have a big tree this year . I bought the decorations at the five-and-tencent store yesterday . Do you want to come and see it ? +I can't now because I have to buy a present for my mother . +When can you come ? +I don't know when I can come . I'll let you know later . +You know , smoking does do harm to your health . +Yes , you're right . +Why don't you try to give it up ? +I've tried to give up smoking several times , but it's no good . Smoking relaxes me . +Have you ever thought of just cutting down ? You could do it gradually . +Yes , maybe I should have another try . +Hello , Jim . What was the film like ? +Awful . It was a complete waste of time . +Why ? What was it about ? +It was about a married couple . They had to live with the wife's mother , because they didn't have enough money to buy a house of their own . +A lot of young people have to do that . +Yes . but the husband had to work overtime three times a week , so he was always tired . +lt sounds like the story of my life . +Yes , it does , doesn't it ? But this man was always over-tired , and he couldn't sleep.So he used to take two sleeping pill every night . +I take sleeping pills sometimes . +Yes , but not two every night . Anyway , the strain was too much for him . He had nervous breakdown and had to go to hospital . +It sounds a very depressing film . +Not really . His wife was able to find a good job as an interpreter , because she could speak French and German fluently . After a few months ' work , she had a better job than her husband . So in the end , +I don't know . My wife used to speak French . I must tell her to brush it up . +Would you like to stretch your legs ? +Sure . +Let's get a soft drink . +Do we have enough time ? +It's a fifteen-minute intermission . +The seats are excellent . We're right in the center . +It's a new concert hall and the acoustics are great . +I can't agree more . +Is this your first time to come to a symphony concert ? +In the United States , yes . But back in China , I went to concerts a couple of times with my parents . +Do you have large concert halls in your city ? +We have two . One is like this one . The other is a little smaller . +That's great . Well , we'd better get back to our seats . It's about to start . +May I help you ? +What time will the library be closing ? +It closes at six . +Does it always close at six ? +No , not every day . +Will the library be open on Saturday ? +Absolutely . +What are your hours on Saturday ? +Saturday ’ s hours are from nine in the morning to six-thirty at night . +All right . Thank you . +What else can I help you with ? +That ’ s it . Thank you . +Whose part do you think is best played ? +That of the old man . +You're absolutely right ! That's the very figure I like best . +Some of the scenes moved me into tears . +Vince , I think one of your programmers is spying on us for WebTracker . +Pardon ? +I won't say who , because I'm not sure yet . But I'll know soon . +Zina , I hope you're not scheming to make Elvin look bad . +It isn't Elvin . +Dave then ? Dave is a spy for WebTracker ? You can't be serious . +Loan me that tape recorder you have . And don't say anything to anyone until I come back . +Hello , Zhang lin ! Fancy meeting you here ! +Hi , Lin Tao . I have't seen you for some time . +How's life going , Zhang Lin ? +Yes , the same as ever , thanks . What about you ? +Pretty good , thanks . I'm going to see my uncle . +Good bye then , and keep in touch . +Good bye . +Fixing computer isn ’ t my cup of tea . You can leave this job to Jason . +Yeah , he has a good commend of computer skills . But ... +But what ? +But he is always talking big . +What a great weekend that was ! +My feelings exactly . +I really enjoy the beach in the summer . +I couldn't agree with you more . +We should come here more often . +You are absolutely right . +I'd like to come back next weekend . +That's exactly the way I feel . +Aren ’ t you going to swim ? +Are you kidding ? Don't you know I can't swim ? +You are not telling me that we drove 50 miles to come here for just sunbath , are you ? +Hey , don't shout . Come here ! Sit closer . Now , Jim , we ’ Ve had a lovely day . Don't spoil it now . +What about your beautiful bathing suit ? We shopped all day . Don't you want to show it off ? +Everybody who walks past me sees it . Besides , it's a good sunbathing suit . +All right . Suit yourself . I am going swimming . +Jim ! +Yes ? +Can you get me a beach umbrella and a deck chair ? I am really tired of lying in thousand . +I've got a better idea . Why don ’ t we hire a boat and go for a ride ? What do you think ? +Are you serious ? That will be wonderful ! +How dare you accuse me of stealing your computer ? +I'm sorry , but you were the only one who had access to it . +The flood will come on the heels of the heavy rain . +I wonder if the municipal government will take some preventive measures . +I ’ m sure they will . +Adam , could you show me around the school ? +No problem . +What's the tallest building ? +You mean the white building near the playground ? +Yes . +That is the library . And it has more than 1,000 , 000 books . +What's the building to the south of the library ? +You know , our school is divided into two parts , the junior high school and the senior high school . That is the new classroom building for our senior high school . +Is there a swimming pool in your school ? +Yes . There is a large swimming pool , but it is only available in summer . +I do envy you . And I hope I can enter your school one day . +I believe that you can make your dream come true . +Television is undoubtedly a great invention , but one of the main criticisms of it is that people just aren't selective enough . Lesley , got a television . how do you pick out the sorts ofprogrammes you want to watch ? +I try and look at the programmes that are on to decide which particular ones interest me , rather than you turning it on a seven o'clock and you leaving it on until half-past eleven when the programmes finish . +Do you think of television though as a great time-waster ? +Un ... I think it can be a time-waster and it depends on how particular people are about what they want to see ... Mm , it can just be a sort total amusement for someone and totally consuming without reallyconsidering what it is they're watching . +Aha , but how do you prevent it coming into your life and taking oversour evenings and at the same time perhaps get . . . get out of thetelevision some of the sort of best things ... best programmes that ... that undoubtedly are on television ? +Well , I suppose one of the problems is ... will depend on what a person's life style is , and that if he has other outside interests which are equally important to him as television , he will then , you know , hmm . be more careful about which programme she wants to watch because he has time which he wants to use for other things . +Do you think though that ... that in . . . in a sense television skilled people's own er ... sort of , creativity or their ability entertain themselves because if they're bored all they do is justturn on the television ? +Yes , I think that is a danger , and I think that . . in fact is what mishappening to a lot of people who use it as their ... their main ... um field of amusement and ... because they don't have other outside interests and even when people come round they'll leave the television and not be , you know , particularly interested in talking to them , you Know the television will be the main thing in the room . +Don't be shy . Have some more chicken . +Thanks . +I feel pity for the old man . +I feel the same way . +It must be dreadful to grow old . +Yeah . He has no one to count on . +I'm going to see the doctor this weekend . +What's your trouble ? +I think I need a thorough check-up . +I got it . +Professor , I am going to need to leave class early today . +What is the problem ? +I need to go to the airport to pick up a relative . +Are you planning on having someone take notes for you ? +Yes , I've got that part covered . +When , exactly do you need to leave ? +I don't need to leave until the very end of class . +Fine , but next time try and not have to miss class again . +Thanks , Professor . See you later ! +See you later ! Drive carefully . +I'm going to try sky diving this weekend . +I wouldn't do it if I were you . +It's sounds like fun . +It's very dangerous , you know . +I want to try something exciting . +It's an easy way to get hurt , let me tell you . +I'll tell you all about it next Monday . +Well , take care of yourself , and don't say I didn't warn you . +Does he know that he has already at his wits ' end ? +I think he has realized that . But he is still whistling in the dark by putting up an act . +He might be driven up a wall . You should not handle your relation with him with kid gloves . +But when I noticed that he was left in the cold , I could not help wanting to help him to get out of the situation . +I visited the famous variety show host , Dennis . +What's he like ? +Oh , he's a very serious person . +You must feel very uneasy at his home . +Hi ! My name is Mike . +Hi ! I'm Nancy . Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you , too . +Where are you from ? +I'm from Shanghai . And you ? +I'm from Chicago . +Why do you go fishing so often ? +It's fun . +Hi , Cindy . I thought I ’ d missed you . +Oh , I am very sorry , Hans . Thank you for waiting for me . You must have been here a long time already . +It ’ s all right . +I was caught in the heavy rain , or I would have come earlier . I am sorry I kept you waiting . +I was in a comfortable place , so really , it ’ s no problem . I am happy to see you . Did the rain hold you up long ? +Yes . When I came out of the subway , it was raining cats and dogs . And I forgot my umbrella . So I had to wait for the rain to let up . +I totally understand . +Good morning , Jim ! +Good morning , Emma ! A lovely day , isn't it ? +Yes , it is . The sun is shining . There is no wind , only a pleasant breeze . +It is the best season for a picnic right now . Have you decided the place for your picnic ? +We have decided to go to the park this Sunday . Would you like to go with us if you have not decided yet ? +What did the whetherman say ? +He ’ s predicting clear skies . +Well , I will think it over . +Come in , come in , what can I do for you ? +Professor Donald , are you giving your advanced geology course again next semester ? +Yes , I am applying on it . +I wonder if I could enroll in it . I know it is a graduate course and I ' m a junior , but ... +Aren't you a bit young ? I have a lot of qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up . +I know , but the geology of the American west is my major interest and I have done a large reading in the field . +Well , if you think you are ready , I'll let you enroll . +Oh , thanks , professor Donald . This is really very nice of you . +Management is going through a big turnover these days . With Bill's retirement , and department realignment , we have lost about 1/3 of our managerial staff . They've been dropping like flies ... +Isn't that a good thing ? Having fewer bosses means having less stress , don't you think ? +Actually , I don't think so . Supervisors are really important to make sure everything goes smoothly in the workplace . They are necessary for divvying up work and disciplining employees . If there is no one to keep an eye on us , no one would get any work done . You know what they say , when the cat's away , the mice play . +You're right , we do need leadership . But what we don't need is too many people to lead us . You know what they say about too many chiefs and not enough Indians ... +Alright ... I get your point . +How do you like your job here , Linda ? +It's interesting , I like being an editor . +Why ? +I like talking to writers , I get to meet a lot of interesting people . +I'm happy to hear that , but publishing is more than just talking to writers . it involves a lot of work , patience and responsibility . Most of the work is boring . +I don't feel bored at all . I'm getting along with my colleagues . I will enjoy working with them . People are great in this industry . +Do you have any complaints ? +No , I have no complaints . I hear there are many opportunities to move up in this company . is that true ? +Yes , you have many opportunities to grow in this company as long as you do well . +That's perfect . I will definitely do well . +I don't think we've met . +No , I don't think we have . +My name is Dick Brown . +How do you do ? Mr . Brown . I am Susan Heywood . +Mr . Smith often talked about you . +Really ? I am glad to meet you . +I'm honored to know you . +Why don ’ t you sit down and relax , darling ? +I don ’ t want to . +Well , come and talk to me then . +Certainly not . +May I turn on the radio then ? +Turn on the radio ? What for ? +So that we can sit down together and listen to some music . +Listen to some music ? And who ’ ll cook dinner ? Will you ? +Ok , I will . But let ’ s go to a disco after dinner . +To a disco ? Oh , no . You know I hate pop . +David , why don't you clean your room ? +I am not in the mood . +Why are you feeling depress ? +I was told my girlfriend was speaking ill of me . It's a real letdown . +I don't think she would do such a thing . +But she did and it made me disappointed . +Oh , cheer up ! A girlfriend is not everything . +But she means a lot to me . +Then forgive her mistake . +Oh , I just can't forget it . +My sister was taken to the hospital yesterday +What happened ? +She was hit by a car . Luckily , she wasn't seriously hurt . +Let's buy some flowers , and pay her a visit +We'll have to hurry ; visiting hours will be over soon +OK . Let's go +What are the good sights to see in Beijing ? +Well , I know you are interested in architecture , so you should't miss the Temple of Heaven , and the Great wall is a must too . +Hello , let me introduce myself . I'm your new neighbor . My name is Andy . +Hi , Andy . I'm Judy . It's nice meeting you . +Nice meeting you , too . +Come over and visit when you have time . +Thanks for the invitation . I will ! +What do you do when you are angry ? +I usually calm down first and think about the reason that caused my anger . +That ’ s smart . What do you usually do to relieve your anger ? +Something like listening to music is a good idea . +Oh , what kind of music do you listen to ? +Classic . Something that could calm your mind . +I think that might work for me as well . +Working out is another good way to relieve anger . +Like what ? +Jogging , yoga , or even just taking a walk . +I'm sorry , but I can't come to your party . +What a shame ! +Taylor , you're sweating up a storm ! +Your boyfriend , Bryan , wanted to toss the football . I think he wore me out . +Yeah , you look a little shaky . And pale . You seriously need some time in the sun . +You're like the tenth person to say that . +We're just worried about you , Taylor . +Whatever . I wish people would just leave me alone ! +She is so stupid . +Who cares ? She is pretty . +So what ? +You're just jealous . +Mrs.Smith , time has stood still with you ! +Thank you.You ' re partial . +I'm not flattering you.You ' re full of energy every day . +It's nice to hear that anyway . +What a police officer ! +I ’ Ve never seem such a scene either except in films . +It ’ s really unimaginable . The police officer screamed at the driver and used bad language , but the driver took it on the chin . +In my wedding ceremony , where do my parents sit in the church ? +The bride's parents ' seating arrangement is on the left side of the aisle and the groom's parents is on the right side . +Do friends of the bride always sit on one side of the church and friends of the groom on the other ? +They usually do . +Hi , Mary ! You're here already . Where's Harry ? +He isn't a punctual person . We may have to wait for a little while . +That should give us time for a cup of coffee . I'll go and get some . +Make it three cups . Here comes Harry . +Why did the teacher criticise Myra in front of the whole class ? +Because Myra was cheating on exams.and she spoke back rudely . +I don't think that Myra should have spoken so rudely to the teacher . I know she was angry , but that's still no excuse for rudeness . +Is your city a historical place ? +Not rally . 200 years ago , it was just a small insignificant village . +How did it grow into such a large place ? +Large deposits of coal were found nearly and so many industries located themselves here . The village quickly grew into a key industrial centre . +As the city grew , it must have absorbed many village nearby . +Yes , it did . The names of those village survive as the names of parts of the city . +I see . Are there any building more than 200 years old in your city ? +Oh , yes . Several of the buildings from the villages still survive . Many of them were inns for travelers and today survive as pubs . There was a castle near one village , so our city has a castle too . +Really ? So your city does have some old history after all . +What is wrong with your face ? +My brother did it . +Why ? +I laughed up my sleeves at him . He ’ s seen his girlfriend off at the airport and had lipstick on his face and did not know it . +How's Jerry's new school ? +Very nice . He gets along with his classmates very well . +He's a team player . +Yes , indeed . +How many people are there in your family ? +Five.My father , mother , brother , sister-in-law and me . +Is your brother older or younger than you ? +He is five years older than me , He got married last Sunday.My brother and my sister-in-law are the same age . +What's the problem ? You don't look happy . +I failed my oral test . +How come ? +I'm not practicing enough . +Why don't you go to the English corner to talk to your classmates in English quite often ? +When I talk to Chinese , I always want to speak Chinese . +You should always keep in mind , the more you practice , the better English you can speak . +It ’ s dangerous . I don ’ t dare to go . +Come on . It ’ s quite safe . You really have no guts . +Did you get the car you wanted ? +No . Someone had stolen a march on me and bought it . +What about the car over there ? +It is marvelous , and the price is marvelous , as well . +How may I help you ? +I want to return this video . +Is that all you need ? +I also need to check this magazine out . +You ’ re not allowed to do that . +I don ’ t understand . +It ’ s our policy . +What can I check out ? +Only books or videos . +I need this magazine . +You will have to read it here . +That ’ s weird . +Have you heard the news ? +No . What happened ? +Such bad luck , 200 yuan was stolen by a thief on the bus today . +Don't be angry , you lose money just to avoid misfortune . +Well , you can just comfort yourself like that . +Ok , so who are we going to invite to our dinner party ? +Well , we have the Thompsons , the Greens , and the Anderson , about twelve people total . +Don't forget my friend Andy from the office . He has nothing to do on Friday , so I invited him over . +But that makes thirteen people ! We can't have thirteen people for dinner on Friday ! +Why can't we ? +It's an old superstition . If we have thirteen people at the table , then it means bad luck . Can Andy bring a date ? +I'm not sure . He just broke up with his girlfriend recently , and I don't think he's in the mood to start again so soon . +But we can't have thirteen for dinner ! +I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill . It's only a superstition . It really doesn't mean anything . +Absolutely not ! I refuse to have thirteen people for dinner on Friday ! +Ok , ok . I'll ask my sister to come . That way we'll have fourteen for dinner . +That's better . +Hello , 8520388 2 . +Hi , this is Maria . Is that Shirley ? +Hi , Maria , this is Shirley . +Shirley , do you know today's homework from our economic law class ? I have written it on a piece of paper but I can't find it now . +Hold on for a moment please . I'm fetching my textbook . +OK . +Oh , the homework is to explain what economic law is both in broad sense and in narrow sense . +Explain the economic law ? An essay question again ? +Yes . You can use your textbook for your reference . +Are there any clear answers in the book to this question ? +I don't think so , Maria , but I think you can look for information on the Internet . +OK , thank you , Shirley . You are very helpful . I have another question . When does the Economic Law of China come into effect ? +Oh , there isn't such a code called economic law . The Economic Law of China is a general concept for several laws . +There isn't such a code ? +Yes , it's a general name for several laws related to economics , like Commercial Law , and Law of Central Bank . +Got it . Thank you , Shirley . +I just dropped in to say goodbye . +What time are you leaving ? +I ’ ll leave at ten o ’ clock . +Take care , and give my best to your parents . +Thank you , I will . Hope to see you again next year . +The performance is amazing . I'm curious about how they did it . I mean the way they sing . +They must have practiced a lot . The perseverance has made them they are today . +So cool . Someone gave me this flier at the exit . What's it about ? +Let me have a look . Well , it lists some shows that will be on next week . +Oh , tell me about it . Anything interesting ? +Hmm ... Oh , this one , ' The Drunken Beauty ' . This is a real classic . +' The Drunken Beauty ' ? It's funny that we have ' Sleeping Beauty ' in my country . Anyway , what's it about ? Is the beauty a drunkard ? +Of course not . She was said to be the most beautiful woman in her time and that made her become the queen . They play was famous for its singing and dancing . +Sure , people do that when they are drunk . What about the actress ? +She is an opera star in China . Her teacher's teacher is Mei Landfang . +Oh , I've heard about him before . He even created a special dance of sleeve shaking . +You are such an expert on it . I don't know that . +You know , interest is the best teacher . +So , want me to book the tickets again ? +Please do that . I can't wait to come back again . The performance must be really amazing . +We can do that if you like . Maybe next weekend . +That will be great . +That was heaven ! +The sea water treatments are supposed to be really good for you . +Really ? +But the water has to be kept at 34 degrees so that the minerals can be absorbed by your body . +Well , whatever it does , I feel transformed ! +You got a letter in the mail . +Give it to me . +What is it ? +It ’ s from NYU . +What does it say ? +I didn ’ t get accepted . +You can ’ t be serious ! +I ’ m serious . +Are you all right ? +NYU was my first choice . +I ’ m sorry that you didn ’ t get in . +I ’ ll just have to wait for UCLA . +What are you going to do for one year abroad , Tom ? +Study , study , study . I want to learn a lot . +You are going to take courses ? +Yes . I am going to take some university courses there . +Sounds hard . +Yes , but I think it's probably for the best . +Won't you get lonely ? +Hey , I am a pretty cool guy . I will make friends , and I'll have a lot of extracurricular activities too . You know , like fencing , or theater or something . +I went shopping without my umbrella yesterday morning . +Yesterday morning was beautiful i thought the sunning was going to continue . +So did i . that's why i didn't take my umbrella . i got cold in the rain in the afternoon.it was raining cats and dogs . +I know . i could not believe it when i got hit by that storm.it was pouring with rain all afternoon . +We really have some miserable weather sometime . i wish i would live somewhere which were sunning all year round . +If it was sunning all year round there would be drought.you probably would not like it either . +I guess you are right . maybe i just wish the weather could be a little more predictable . +The weather forecasters are not good at predicting the weather would be like.our weather is so changeable . +Those guys work at the same company and go to the same bars . They do everything together . +Birds of a feather flock together . +What ’ s your new job like ? +Oh , it ’ s fine . I ’ Ve got a very nice secretary and a large pleasant office . +Um . +And a company car . +Very nice . +Yes , it is . But I ’ Ve got a lot of work too . +Well , that ’ s life , isn ’ t it ? +What a surprise meeting you here , Landy . +I ’ m here as a tourist . +It ’ s a small world , isn ’ t it ? +Yes , it ’ s a small world . We never know where we ’ ll meet someone we know . +So you're traveling around the world , aren't you . +That's right +When did you arrive here ? +Last night +Did you have a good journey ? +Yes , I enjoyed it very much . +Where have you been on this trip ? +Let me see . Ah , yes , I've been to England , France , Germany , Italy and now I've been in Spain +Really ? How long will your holiday last ? +Two weeks +All these countries in two weeks ? +That's right +Please do excuse me for a moment . I've got diarrhea . +It's easy to get loose bowels in summer . +It may have something to do with the food I had last night +You ’ Ve got to be careful on the food you eat . +I will . Thank you . +Hi Mary , how's it going ? +Well , last night I had a big argument with Ann . +Terrible . It must be something serious . You two are such close friends . +Now that I look back at it , it wasn't that big a deal . I shouldn't have lost my temper . +Really ? What happened ? +It's just we've been planning to go the beach for a while , and we decided we could both make it this weekend . Then out of nowhere she called me up , said her boyfriend had made plans and that she need to cancel the trip . I was so angry when she told me that I said she didn't care about our friendship at all . +That's pretty harsh . +I know , but I was so upset . I mean , come on ! Does she have to do everything her boyfriend says ? +You know she probably feels just as bad . +Well , I think I was being a little selfish myself . I know they don't get to see each other very often . +Well , in that case I guess maybe you can be more understanding . You shouldn't let a trivial thing like this stand in the way of your friendship . After all you can go to the beach anytime you want . +Yeah , I'll call later to patch things up . +I can't bear you anymore . I am sick of your drinking . I am divorcing you . +Don't do that to me , honey . Give me a chance , please . I make a solemn promise never to drink alcohol again . +How many chances should I give you ? I've given up on you ! +Have a heart , honey . You know I am trying hard to quit drinking , don't you ? Just give me one more chance , please ! +Finally the class is over . Be quick . Ben must have been waiting for long . +Oh , I am so tired . My back is sore and my neck hurts . +That's normal . You have been sitting for three hours , with your attention highly concentrated . +You are wrong , Shirley . I was always absent-minded in the class . I meant to concentrate on the class , but I was just so tired . Maybe I am old . +No . You are just burning yourself out these days . Have a good rest and you will feel energetic again . +One of my friends took the Adult College Entrance Exam last year . He filled the school column with his name , and his score was relinquished . +How could he make such a silly mistake ? +He said he hadn't taken any exams for ten years , and couldn't get used to it immediately . He was extremely nervous then . +He lost a very good chance to go to college , didn't he ? +Yeah . The test was fairly easy and almost every test-taker could pass that exam . Adult College Entrance Exam is much easier than college entrance exam . And there are fewer subjects . +That's a very good lesson . We must familiarize ourselves with the exam from now on . +What did you do over the weekend ? +I went a global warming rally . It was fantastic to be around so many people who care about the environment . +Do you think there's anything we can do to reverse the damage that's been done already ? +It might not be possible to fix the problems that we've created for ourselves , but there are lots of things we can do to prevent more damages from happening . +Like what ? +Well , we can use public transport instead of taking our cars for a start . +What else can we do to protect the environment ? +If you do have to drive , you should make sure that your car runs on unleaded petrol . Also , your home should use sources of renewable energy . +How about recycling ? Does that actually help ? +Yes . You should take your glass , paper , plastic , cardboard , and tin cans to a recycling center . +What do you think the biggest worry for our future is ? +I think that the issue of greatest concern is having enough sources of clean water for everyone . +I had no idea you were such an environmentalist before ! +To be honest , in order for the earth to continue to be a habitable place , we're all going to have to become more interested in the environment . +Merry Christmas , Bill ! +Merry Christmas . Steven ! +What do you want to do to celebrate Christmas ? +I'll have supper with my girlfriend and go shopping . What about you ? +I'll go to church first and then go to a Christmas party . Would you like to come ? +I'd love to . But I am going to meet my girlfriend right now . See you later . +See you . +So Emily , what do you like to do for fun ? +I like to go to the movies . What do you do in your free time ? +I also like going to the movies . +Well that's great ! It's nice that we have something in common . +Who broke the glass , Peter ? +That cat . +I was not born yesterday . It must be either you or Adam . +It ’ s me , mum , I am sorry . +Can you read what this says ? +Yes , and you could too if your hair wasn't hanging down in your face . +Don't dis my hair ! I like it like this . +You like it , but it's getting to be a handicap for you . +Hey , that's enough about my hair . +I know a great hairdresser not far from here and she is cute too . +I don't go to hairdressers because they're cute . +Did I mention she's good at cutting hair too ? +Hello , Tony . Fancy meeting you here . How are things going with you ? +Not too bad , thanks . And you ? +Pretty good ! How are your parents these days ? +Oh , they are fine . They are enjoying their retirement . +Oh , good . That's nice to hear . Well , I am going to a football match . I need to go . +Say hi to your family for me . +Thanks , I will , byebye ! +Where should I sit ? +Why don't you sit in the back with me ? +Okay . +By the way , what's your last name ? I forgot what it is . +It's Lin . It's spelled L-I-N . +R-I-N ? +My pronunciation is not very good . It's L-I-N , Lin . +I got it . Mary Lin . +Lin is a common Chinese last name . +You ’ re ready , right ? +Ready for what ? +Are you ready to transfer tomorrow ? +Yes . I am ready . +You ’ re not nervous ? +Of course I ’ m nervous . +What are you most nervous about ? +I won ’ t know anybody at that school . +You shouldn ’ t be nervous about that . +Why not ? +Meeting new people is a good thing . +That ’ s a good way to think about it . +What do you think of this one ? +Eh , so so . +And this one ? Too flashy ? +Nah , not too flashy . +Hug ! And this sweater from my aunt ? Isn ’ t it hideous ? +I guess . +Are you even listening ? I ’ m trying to have a conversation with you . +And I ’ m trying to watch the game , but you ’ re yapping on about your new clothes ! +Well I have to decide which gifts to keep and which to exchange for better ones when I go to the Boxing Day sales this afternoon ! +Well could you do me the favor of making this quick ? It ’ s the third quarter and you ’ Ve been blabbering on since the first ! +Oh , your precious game . You watch the same game every year , and each year your beloved hometown team loses by at least three goals ! +Oh no you didn ’ t . You didn ’ t just insult the Sals-bury Seals , did you ? Why don ’ t you just . just go and return all of those stupid clothes and not come back until the sales are over ? +I might just ! Enjoy your stupid game ! +And Merry Christmas ! +Merry Christmas ! +Don ’ t be worried . Please sit down and take it easy . +How could I feel easy ? I ’ m really pissed . +But you should avoid finger-pointing when you haven ’ t got the real facts . +Ok . I ’ ll try my best to calm down first . +Hey , Mike . You've been surfing the Net for quite a while . What on earth are you searching for ? +It's something relative hackers . I often hear people talking about them , but I don't know much about them . +Well , roughly speaking , a hacker is a computer buff . +You mean a guy using enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the computer ? +You can say that . +But why are people always having such a negative attitude towards them ? +They must have mixed hackers with crackers . +What is crackers then ? +There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers , but they aren't . They break into computers and break the phone system . Real hackers call these people crackers , and want nothing to do with them . +So they are two totally different concepts . +Well , the real hackers mostly think crackers are lazy , irresponsible and not very bright , and feel that being able to break security does make you a hacker any more than being able to start cars without keys makes you an automotive engineer . Unfortunately , many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word hacker to describe crackers . This irritates real hackers to no end . +I see . Then the basic different is , hackers build things , crackers break them . +You got it . +Thanks a lot . +You are welcome . +I don't have my homework today . +You usually are good about turning it in ; what happened ? +I was really sick . +But couldn't you have done it when you felt better ? +Yes , I probably could . +You have already missed one other assignment ; when can I expect the make-ups ? +Next class meeting . +That will be soon enough , but make sure you get next week's assignment in as well , all right ? +That would work for me . +Good . I know that you are capable of being an excellent student . +What are you reading about in that science magazine ? +There are several interesting articles on recent scientific breakthroughs . I just finished reading one about cloning . +I ’ m not sure I like the idea of that . I don ’ t want people copying me or other people . It could be very confusing . +According to the article , you have no real need to worry . Research nowadays is focussing on cloning parts of a human body to replace damaged or lost parts , not on recreating a whole human . +In the future , that could be possible . +In this article , scientists say that if you took the genes from someone and tried to create a copy of a person , there ’ s no guarantee that the copy would look or act like the original ! +Really ? What else have you discovered ? +I read about how scientists are using material from plants and animals to create new medicines . For example , an animal be immune to disease that affects human . So , scientists find out why it ’ s immune +That ’ s great , because it uses natural materials rather than ones that scientists make themselves . I prefer natural remedies to man-made ones . +Thanks for helping me up . +Are you OK ? I didn't mean to put you in danger . +I'm the hazardous one here . I made three people fall over ! +That takes talent ... +I'm so humiliated ! What's that man saying ? Everyone's laughing ! +He said you obviously prefer Greek comedies to Greek tragedies . +How was the party yesterday ? +Did you enjoy it ? +Oh , don't talk to me about yesterday ! It was the most awful evening I've ever had . +Why ! what happened ? +Well.John had promised to be my date , but he stood me up . I waited for a full hour in the cold wind . +So how long did you stay ? +I left after the opening dance . I couldn't wait to get out of there . +What is the most unexpected thing you experienced in space ? +I wasn't quite prepared for the view of the Earth as we left . It was just awe-inspiring . It emerged from just a slightly curved horizon to a whole Earth , where you could look across oceans and continents in a single glance . I wasn't quite prepared for that . It's inevitably etched in my memory . +When viewing the Earth from space , do you feel detached from humanity or more a part of the totality of humankind ? +Detached . You're literally detached from one planet , captured by another . Your only link to reality is the Earth out there ; fortunate - 1y , it stays in view the whole time . +There're a lot of suspicions that the International Space Station is never going to become reality . Is it going to be some future project that never happens ? +I believe it's certainly for real . It without question has suffered a lot of delays . But there's hardware sitting on the pad right now and it's due to go off in December . It is a reality . It has just taken longer to get literally off the ground . +There were a lot of talks during the Bush administration about a not too distant future Mars mission . It seemed to fizzle out . Do you think that this Shuttle mission will reignite the public's passion for space and get us to Mars sooner ? +I hope this flight is not just a one-time affair , that it does re-ignite people's interest to push on . But only time will tell . +You had gone to the moon twice , orbited space around the Earth lots of times , and of course you have had the most amazing views that a human being can have . How long do we ordinary beings have to wait to feel the weightlessness ? I just can't wait . +If I were the man making the decisions , you could get in line tomorrow . I strongly support ordinary people going into space . Unfortunately , I don't think it will be in the near future . +Where did you go yesterday ? +I went to play tennis in the public park . +How often do you play tennis ? +Twice a week . How about you ? +I seldom play tennis . I prefer football and basketball . +But it is very difficult to gather a team of players together . +I usually play with my schoolmates . +Do you like watching football matches ? +Yes , I went to the Than He Sports Center for a football match last Sunday . +Oh , I watched it on television . It was an exciting match . +Where is your native place ? +My native place is Shanghai , which is a very beautiful cosmopolitan city . +So are you a local ? +Yes , I am a local resident . +What ’ re you doing now ? +I ’ m watching TV . +You ’ re supposed to clean your teeth before you go to bed . +I will . +And don ’ t ever forget it . +How can I help you today , Alice ? +Well , I came to talk to you because I want to apply for a scholarship . +Oh , good . You're an excellent student . I'd be very willing to help you with that . +Thanks . I really appreciate it.In fact , I do need a letter of recommendation for this scholarship . +What kind of scholarship is it ? +It's an undergraduate scholarship offered by the American Minority Students Scholarship Association . I'm eligible for it because I'm Asian American . +Fine . I know about that scholarship.You have to be a student in your junior year , and you have to have a grade point average of 3.7 or higher . +I'm a junior now , and my GPA is 3.92 . +Excellent . So you'll have a good chance of getting it . +Well , I hope so . The competition is probably pretty heavy.And they want a writing sample too . +Do you have an essay you want to send them ? +No , they want a special essay . I must write an essay on a particular question they pose . +What is the question ? +They give applicants a topic.The topic is , The Place of Ethnic Minorities in a Democratic Society.My essay must be three pages typed and double-spaced . +That's a pretty short essay . +Yes , but I need to write it by next week . +Good luck . I'm sure you will do a good job . +I came here today to talk to you because ... Well , I need to ask two favors . +Sure . What are they ? +First , I need a letter of recommendation . +I'd be happy to write one for you . +And second ... Well , I'm not sure if it's normal . +What is it ? Do you want me to read your essay ? +Yes , if you could . I mean , if you could read it to make sure there are no mistakes.Or maybe you'd have some suggestions . +Of course I could read it . That's no problem . But you need to get it to me soon . +I will . I want to write the first draft tonight.So I could bring it tomorrow morning . +Alright . If you can bring it to me tomorrow morning , I can talk with you after class on Friday.So I'll have some feedback for you before the weekend . +That would really help me a lot . I'm very grateful . +Don't mention it . I'm always willing to help good students . +Did you hear how cold it got last night ? +I heard the radio announcer say it was 18 degrees below zero . +It was so cold this morning . I could hardly start my car . +My car didn't want to start either at first . +Don't you have a garage ? +Not in the new apartment . We have to leave the car in the parking lot . +How much antifreeze did you put in your new car then ? You must have to keep it well below zero . +I do . Right now I have it protected up to 30 below zero . +Does it ever get that cold on here ? +Not really . It sometimes gets to 20 below . +Speaking of cold , how about going for a cup of coffee to warm up . +What do you think of the new television channel ? Aren't the programs awful ? +I quite agree with you . They are terrible . They are complete waste of time , but my wife disagrees with me . +Actually , what bothers me is the violence . There are far too many detective and police shows . +I couldn't agree with you more . There aren't enough educational programs , and even the news shows are not well done . +You are absolutely right . They are too brief . They don't tell you anything . +What's the matter with you , Paul ? +I'm not feeling well . I think I'm having a cold . +Looks like it.You need to drink a lot of water and take a good rest . +Yeah , I will . +You look pale today . +I didn't wear make-up this morning . +You should do sports to keep young . +You're right.Make - up can only disguise my age , but exercise may delay it . +Steven , have you any friend in London ? +Yes , my old friend Hanson lives there +Are you close ? +Yes . He's one of my best friends . Our friendship formed at college . Why did you ask that ? +I'm going to London on business next week . But I know nothing about it . +I get it . You want to find a guide , don ’ t you ? +Yes , Steven . You always know what I want . +Don ’ t worry . I will call Hanson , and ask him to help you . +Thank you ! +My word , you do look ill ! +I'm quite out of thoughts recently . +You seem to have something on mind . Promise me , go to see the doctor right now . +I'm worrying about my exam . +A piece of cake . You'll be successful . +Excuse me , you look familiar . Did you use to live in New York ? +Yes . +Did you use to work at NYU ? +Yes , I did . +Oh , did you know Hugh Young ? He was a music student . +Hugh Young ? Didn ’ t he use to wear a funny yellow jacket all the time ? +Yes . And he used to play the piano with a jazz group at the university . +I remember Hugh . Most people thought he was a little ... uh ... peculiar . Do you know what he ’ s doing now ? +Yes , he ’ s a millionaire in Houston now . +A millionaire ? As a jazz musician ? +Oh , no . He ’ s an executive for a large computer company . I saw an interview with him on TV yesterday . They were asking his opinion about future uses for computers . +Well ! I guess people don ’ t find him so peculiar anymore . +You look so happy , Anna . Any good news ? +Yes . I ’ Ve won the first prize in the math contest . +Really ? Congratulations ! +Thank you , Paul . +By the way , would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow evening ? Tomorrow is my birthday . +Good , happy birthday to you ! +Not so soon . It ’ s not my birthday today . Well , you ’ ll come , won ’ t you ? +Sure , I will . Thank you for inviting me . +My pleasure . +Hello Gina ! We've spoken so many times on the phone but's it's so good to finally meet you in person ! +Hello sir . Good to meet you , too . +Oh , please don't call me sir . Just call me Jason . +Ok , Jason . So how was the flight ? +Pretty good . There was a bit of turbulence while we were over the Pacific Ocean but it wasn't too bad . The worst thing was the guy behind me . He snored all through the night ! +Really ? But you were in first class ! Nobody woke that guy up ? +The stewardess said it's not company policy to wake people up for any reason . +That's terrible ! So you didn't get any sleep ? +Not much ... but that's ok ... I'm a night owl anyway . +So , aside from visiting our factory and offices , are there any other things you want to accomplish while you're in China ? +I'd love to squeeze in a trip to the Great Wall . +That's not a problem . We can have a company car take you there . It's only about a two hour drive . +What are you going to do after you return from Washington ? +I'm going to stay in the city . +What will you do all day ? +I'm going to work with my father at the store . In the evening , I'll read books.On weekends , I'll go to the beach with my family . +Have you ever worked ? +No , but I can learn . What are you going to do this summer ? +I'm going to camp . I've gone to camp for four summers . +I've never gone to camp . What do you do there ? +We do many things . In the morning , we go swimming and boating . In the afternoon , we play basketball or tennis . We sit around a camp fire at night.We sing or tell stories . +That sounds wonderful . +It is wonderful . What's John going to do this summer ? +I think he's going to the mountains with his parents . +Well , so long , Mary . Have fun . +You too , Peter . Give my regards to John . I'll see you in September . +Can you tell the result ? +It's love all . +Now the score is in our favor . +Can you tell which team seems to win ? +Hard to say.Now the score is in our favor . +Yes.Our guest team is really tough . +They're still fighting hard.Let ' s wait and see . +Maybe you'll get another chance at the statue . +I don't think so . Did you ever go and look at your stamp ? +And let them ruin my life ? Forget it ! +But you've been looking for that stamp for years . +It's not worth it . Besides , I have to save up to pay for some bills . +Bummer . I guess we're both out of luck . +Yeah . Well , I'll see you this weekend . +Kate , what do you like to do tonight ? Do you often go to the movies ? +Of course .

It starts at 8 o'clock . +Wonderful . I ’ m so excited . +I feel confused by all the diet options out there . I don ’ t know which one actually works . +Most of them are not so practical . It will be very bad for your health if you skip lunches or supers as the recommended . I think making an exercise plan can be more effective . +Maybe you ’ re right . It is very expensive to go to a weight-loss center . I ’ d better join in a fitness club . +You don ’ t need to lose weight , you are not fat . +I bought an exercise dress yesterday and I found it was hard to dress it up . +I visited the Polar Aquarium today . +Is it like a zoo of polar animals ? +Almost . There are a lot of polar animals sea birds , such as seals , whales and penguins , People don't get much chance of seeing them . +It must have been fun seeing those unusual animals and birds . +Absolutely . To be frank , I learned quite a lot about those animals and polar areas . I'm thinking of my kids there one of these days . +Maybe you should let me know about your plan . I want to take my kids there some day . too . +How time flies ! +May and Danny have already grown up . +I can still remember our first date . +Look at that big tree over there . +Yeah , oh my god ! It's still there . We have our first date right on there . +Do you know that I fell in love with you at the first sight . +You were dull at that time . +But you agreed to go out with me at last . +I can't believe this for it's been 20 years since we got married . +I can ’ t wait to retire . +And then what ? +And then I ’ m moving to Florida where I can play golf all day , every day ! +That sounds boring to me . +What do you plan on doing after you retire ? +Yes , I think I will do something new . I ’ Ve always wanted to be a teacher . +I admire your energy , Ruth . You are young at heart . +Let's get together this weekend , is that all right ? +Sounds good , when ? +When is it convenient for you ? +Any time is fine . +Could you and your wife be ready at nine o'clock ? +Please wait for us even if we're a little late . +Never mind . I'll be waiting for you . +See you then . +OK . Bye ! +I wonder if I can ask you a question . +Ask me a question ? What do you want to know ? +Well ... er ... it is just ... just that I ... +Just what ? Stop beating around the bush . Tell me what you want to know . +I ... er ... I just want to know if you could lend me a few bucks . +Lend you a few bucks ? No way ! Still remember the money you borrowed me last time ? +Yeah . But I ... +Hey , Mary , nice to see you again . I heard you're going back home to the U . S . +Yes . I'm leaving tomorrow . I came here just because I want to say good-bye to you . +You're so thoughtful . Wish you a good trip home . And we'll miss you . +I'll miss you too , my friends . +Lovely day , isn't it ? +Oh , yes . Beautiful . +You are not English , are you ? +No , I am from France . +Good afternoon , would you mind if I sat here ? +Of course not . +I ’ m Jack . What ’ s your name ? +Laura . +Do you like this place ? +I don ’ t think it ’ s very nice . And my father doesn ’ t like it . But my mother likes it very much . So we often come here . +How often ? +Well , we come here almost every month . +Who ’ s that ? +It ’ s my mother . She ’ s fond of swimming . And the man beside her is my father . +Do you like swimming ? +No , I hate swimming . I prefer playing tennis . +What ’ s the area of your country ? +It ’ s not very big . It ’ s a little over half a million square kilometers . +That sounds quite big ! How many people live there ? +There are about 30 million people in my country . Most of them live in the north . +What ’ s the average income ? +That ’ s the really hard to say . I think most people earn about two thousand dollars a month , if you convert the money from our currency into dollars . +So your country is fairly rich . +I think we are richer than most countries , but not as rich as countries in western Europe . Our biggest problem at the moment is unemployment , which is roughly 8 % . It has doubled over the last four years . +Unemployment in my country is a fraction of that . +Look at this headline - Elvis Baby Born on Spacecraft . Where do these tabloids get such crazy stories ? +I ’ Ve often wondered the same thing . I also wonder who reads them . Then I realize that I ’ m standing here reading them myself . +It looks as though everyone in line reads them , or at least looks at the headlines . +I think we picked the right line . This one seems to be moving more quickly than the others . +Maybe our checker is faster at scanning the food . +I ’ m glad . We have only about twenty things here , and I ’ m in a hurry to get home . +The answer is zero ! What a let-down ! +I really want to take him over my knee . +No hard feelings . After all , he is a child . +If you say so ! +Hi . +Hi , Mary , Hi , Ken I hate to bring this up , but that new stereo , system you got ... +Yeah ? +You were playing it very late last night . +Yeah ? +It kept me awake . +Oh , I'm sorry . +It kept me awake a couple of hours . +I'm so sorry , I .. I didn't realize it was that loud . +It was that loud , and it was pretty late , and check with Mary if you don't believe me . +It's true.It was a bit loud . +I'm very sorry . I didn't realize it . I promise I'll keep it down in the future . +Oh , it's no problem.It ' s OK.You know , it only happened once . +I am glad we've straightened everything out . +My mother likes to split hairs . +What do you mean by that ? +She has keen to buy something which is much cheaper . +Mothers like that . +Hey Bob . Whatchy doing ? +I'm at home painting . +I didn't know you paint . What type of painting is it ? +I enjoy oil painting . I learned it in one of my extra classes in college . +That sounds so interesting . I wish I learned a hobby . +Hobbies are never too late to learn . They offer a variety of classes at the local community college . You should look into it . +I think I will . Thanks for the info . +What does your friend Jim do ? +He is a teacher , but he makes a little money on the side by repairing cars in his free time . +He can repair cares ? I cannot believe it . +Believe me , he is the first-class . +Hey Jane . How are you doing these days ? +Hi Martha . Everything is perfect . +Are you enjoying married life ? +It couldn't be better . My husband is so supportive with my work and he helps around the house so much . +You're so lucky . I hope to get married to a guy like that . +I'm so happy . Even though we are both working , we get to spend a lot of time with each other in the evening and on the weekends . +Do you guys do anything special ? +In the evening , we just sit and talk over dinner . But on the weekend , we try to go out to the beach or hit a nice restaurant , or go to a nice cafe . +Sound like everything is great . +David , why don't you clean your room ? +I am not in the mood . +Why are you feeling depress ? +I was told my girlfriend was speaking ill of me . It's a real letdown . +I don't think she would do such a thing . +But she did and it made me disappointed . +Oh , cheer up ! A girlfriend is not everything . +But she means a lot to me . +Then forgive her mistake . +Oh , I just can't forget it . +My brother joined the army last year . +Oh , what does he look like ? Is he tall ? +He's tall and strong . +I can tell it from your build . +Look , Forest Gump is on at six thirty . +Really ? It was on in 1994 for the first time . And it is really a classic . +Yeah , I am very impressed with Tom Hanks ' performance in the movie . +I am also impressed with the lines in the movie . +Life is like a box of chocolates , you never know what you're gonna get . +That's my favorite . +You know , it also won 6 Oscar awards in 1995 . Unbelievable ! +It deserves . That film can give us a lot of inspiration . +Yes , the Forrest's experience can encourage the people in trouble . +All in all , it will never lose its appeal . +Gucci , I have an idea . Do you want to see this movie together ? +Sure . Now you are talking . +I hate this kind of weather ! +When I was a kid , there was a weather who said there is no such thing as bad weather . +I think he had water on the brain . This is bad . +He said there are only all kinds of good weather . +Okay , Pollyanna , what's so good about this weather ? +Well , for one , we have an excuse to stay home . +We ' get ' to stay home ?

It ’ s a sic-fi thriller . +I thought he usually wrote horror books . +He does . He ’ s good at this genre too . It ’ s a captivating read . +We ’ re going to the bookshop . Would you like to join us ? +Yes , I would . I need to buy a textbook for my course and , as you know , I love browsing through the latest paperbacks . +Me too . I need something to read on the flight to new york . I can never sleep on planes . Sarah wants to pick up some children ’ s books for her daughter . +I want to look at nelson Mandela ’ s autobiography . +This is sure to be a worthwhile read . +Do you know what the BBS is ? +Sure . +Tell me then . +BBS means Bulletin Board Service . +Oh , I see , but what's it used for ? +A lot of things ! +Tell me in details . +Okay . BBS , an online service , offers a wide variety of online games , files , one-on-one chat , message areas , private mail , and participate forums . +Oh , that's great . I want to try later . +Why not ? +Any plans tonight ? +Not really , do you ? +Well , I am wondering if we took a hang-out for a drink or something . You know , I just came back from a really tough interview . I was quite nervous during the interview . I really want to have the job . Right now , I am still a little on the edge . I am not sure if I could convince them during the interview . +Take it easy . It is all over now . How was it going , anyway ? +I don ’ t know . I think I did well in the paper exams . I was prepared to answer a lot of questions , but they didn't ask those as I expected . To my surprise , the manager tried to talk about the Chinese poesy with me . +That's strange . But probably , it is the new interview technique they call it ' Getting to know you more personally ' . What about your answers ? +Just did my best . +How may I help you ? +I need to return these books . +What happened to this one ? +The cover came off . +You ’ re going to need to pay for the damage . +How much are you talking ? +It ’ s going to be $ 5 . +That ’ s not bad at all . +It really isn ’ t . +Here you go . +Thank you very much . +You ’ re welcome . Have a nice day . +When it comes to select a fund , you will always read “ Past performance is not an indication of future results ” , can you believe that ? +Maybe it is right since everything is possible . You know the market changes quickly these days . But I still have doubted those funds with bad stock performance . For me , his stock record is the very important criteria to decide which to buy . I really want to decrease the risk reach the minimum and achieve the maximum returns . +But I still have doubted those funds with bad stock performance . For me , his stock record is the very important criteria to decide which to buy . I really want to decrease the risk reach the minimum and achieve the maximum returns . +If you refuse to take risk , you can ’ t have better returns . +I will think about it . +I don't know why people are just mad about David Peckham . Is there really anything so fascinating with him ? +He appeals to the fans thanks to two things +You mean he plays well ? Yeah , he often scores by free kicks in crucial games . But a football match is by no means merely a show of taking free kicks . +Certainly not . What really counts is to play as a team , passing the ball amongst each other , dodging defenders . Free kicks are a result of all the teammates ' collective efforts.However , a few free kicks often make everything different , especially scoring one such goal in the nick of time . +In the case , maybe facial charm should be his leading card . After all , the majority of his fans are girls . +Yes , his face looks are manly , with a straight nose and infinite eyes . As a man of medium height in the West , he keeps a powerful but elegant figure , looking neither lanky nor stout . +And he is English ! He makes a model gentleman when he puts on a black suit and speaks with a typical British accent . +Can you tell which team seems to win ? +Hard to say . Now the score is in our favor . +Yes . Our guest team is really tough . +They're still fighting hard . Let's wait and see . +May I have a word with you ? +Certainly . +When will you be free ? +Come by any time . +Shall I say around ten o'clock ? +Yes , I'll be waiting for you in my home by 10:00 . +Office software like Windows might be one of the best inventions in this information age . It saves us from so much work and makes the communication even around the world much easier . +Fully agree . I do enjoy the convenience though I am still a beginner in using Excel . The latest office equipment is more type-functional . It combines fax machine , copy machine and printer in one . It saves a lot of place one machine instead of three . +Yes , this machine is even smaller than those before . +When will we get one of those ? +You know our boss always trying to save the last penny . We have to use up the equipment first . +Congratulations ! Mr . Stuart ! You won the city marathon . +Thank you . I am very excited . +We are all very proud of you . +I am very happy , too . It was a big game and I won . +I watched the race with my children . We saw you run to the finish line . We all screamed with excitement . +It was really an exciting moment . +I really dislike reading academic books . +That may be so , but reading them is an important way to expand your knowledge . +Are you ok , Chuck ? You look pale . +I'm fine , Katherine . I just stayed up late last night working on my Chinese . +Oh , poor you . You know what ? I found a new way to learn Chinese and it works very well . +You did ? Do tell me . I've spent all these months trying to learn something new about it , but I've made little progress ! +Sure . I'm learning Chinese through songs . +So you're learning Chinese songs ? +You can say that . I can actually sing some of them now . +That's a real achievement . How did you do that ? +I start by listening to the song a few times and after several times I am able to follow the singer . +It makes sense . +It does . I've learned some Chinese folk songs this way . They are clearly presented and easy to follow . +Can Join you , Katherine ? I do want to have a try . +Why not ? I downloaded a beautiful song the other day . We can learn it together now . +Great . Do you think we need a Chinese dictionary ? +Yes , just in case we run into me new characters . +Ok . I will bring it with me . +Where to , miss ? +Hi ! Crenshaw and Hawthorne , at the Holiday Inn that is on that corner . +Sure thing . So , where are you flying in from ? +From China . +Really ? You don ’ t look very Chinese to me , if you don ’ t mind me saying so . +It ’ s fine . I am actually from Mexico . I was in China on a business trip , visiting some local companies that manufacture bathroom products . +Wow sounds interesting ! Excuse me if I am being a bit nosy but , how old are you ? +Don ’ t you know it ’ s rude to ask a lady her age ? +Don ’ t get me wrong ! It ’ s just that you seem so young and already doing business overseas ! +Well thank you ! In that case , I am 26 years old , and what about yourself ? +I am 40 years old and was born and raised here in the good old U . S of A , although I have some Colombian heritage . +Really ? That ’ s great ! Do you speak some Spanish ? +Uh ... yeah .. of course ! +Que bien ! Sentences poems habeas en espanol ! +Oh , boy , I hate to say this , but I really have to leave now . +That ’ s all right . I understand . +I ’ m so sorry . +That ’ s ok . Don ’ t be sorry . We ’ ll talk later . +Have you thought of moving at all , Sarah ? +We ’ Ve thought about it , but my husband and I can ’ t afford it right now . The only thing we could afford would be living in the slums , which is something I don ’ t want to do . +Buying a house can be expensive , but there are ways to find cheaper houses . +Like what ? +Well , sometimes the city auctions offer houses to the community . You ’ d have to make a quick decision about the offer in a day , but you would definitely save money doing it that way . +That ’ s a good idea . Do you know anyone who has done that before ? +Sure , my sister-in-law and her husband just bought a house that way . They ’ re pretty satisfied with it . +Is the house pretty run-down . +Not at all . The woman , who owned it , took good care of it . But when she died , she had no family left and no will , so the government had to sell it for her . +Was it a very old house ? +It was about 75 years old . There were a few repairs that needed doing , but it didn ’ t take a lot of money or time . +Is it in a good location ? +The area can be a bit rough in the evenings , but the neighbors watch out for each other , so it ’ s ok . +Do Mona and Jim need a new house ? +No , they have a big new fancy house . +Does Jim make a lot of money ? +Yes , he does . He is a science fiction writer . +Does Jim need to make more money ? +Afraid so . The more the better . +What do they need all that money for ? +Well , they spend it pretty quick . New clothes , new computers and new cars every year . And they ’ Ve got a cook and housekeeper.Mona used to be an actress , she likes to spend a lot of money . +Do they have any children ? +No . They want children but no luck yet . +What does Jim like to do ? +Jim likes to travel around the world.That ' s expensive ! So he tries to make a lot of money . +What does Mona like to do ? +Oh , she enjoys spending money on fancy parties.Mona loves to wear sexy dresses , and she has quite a bit of jewelry . +Wow ... She sounds like a high maintenance wife . +I guess so . She is also interested in politics . She knows everyone in city government . +Politics can be an expensive hobby . +She is pretty serious about it . Her uncle is a mayor . She wants to follow in his footsteps . +Politics is a hard game to play . +She might do well . Everyone seems to like her . +Are you alright , child ? +Hey , I still know my name . +What did the nurse say ? +She said I have a fever but nothing major . +In that case , you should go home and get plenty of rest . +What if this small fever turns into a big fever ? +Then I'll phone our family physician and make an appointment for you . +Who was the best teacher that you ever had ? +That would have to be Miss Baymler , my fourth grade teacher . +What was she like ? +She was patient , kind , fun , smart , caring , and yet strict , too . I really learned a lot from her . +What kind of things did you learn ? +She taught us that you can do anything that you want to do . +Anything ? Do you really believe that we can do anything ? +If you really want to do something and you work hard at it , I believe you can do it . +You said she was strict . Did she have a lot of rules ? +She had some rules that helped us to feel comfortable . For example , the students had to treat each other with respect , or they would be disciplined . +I see . She sounds like she really cared about her students . +Yes . She treated us all fairly . She don ’ t have any teacher ’ s pets . +Really ? Doesn ’ t every teacher have a teacher ’ s pet ? +Well . To be honest , I usually sucked up to teachers because I wanted them to give me good grades . However , Miss Baymler didn ’ t treat me any differently . She really didn ’ t have any teacher ’ s pets . +Do you know what she is doing now ? +As a matter of fact , I do . After she taught our class , she got married and moved to another city . Then , she started writing children ’ s book . +Have you ever read one of the books ? +Of course ! Both children and adults enjoy her books . +Why don ’ t you recommend one to me ? +ok ! I ’ ll bring one to you next time . +Mum , this is for you . +Oh , flowers ! What for , my dear ? +Happy Mother's Day to you , Mum ! +Oh , thank you.You are so sweet ! +Did you like the party ? +Not particularly . I was rather disappointed . +Why ? What had you expected ? +I ’ d expected it to be much more exciting . +Look , daddy is on again . Don't you think he is handsome ? +To some extent , he is . And what do you think we move to a better place ? I can't see him clearly from here . +The seats in the middle of this stadium are great , but they're already occupied by somebody else . +Oh , thank you for pointing that out . By the way , have you been following NBA for this season ? +Of course , tomorrow evening there will be a most exciting game . +Who plays who ? +Rockets vs Lakers . Yao Ming , my idol , will appear in front of several hundred million of the worldwide audience . +It's amazing . And when did he begin to play in the NBA ? +In 2002 . And since then he has attracted more attention than ever . +I can't consider you as a little kid any more . I know he is very tall . +Oh , you know something . He is 2.26 meters tall . But he is also nimble and skillful . +I also heard if a player has committed 5 fouls then he must be out of the game . +Yes , what's worse is he can't take any further part in the game . +That's really terrible . Oh , God , we forgot to cheer for Daddy . +Never mind . After all he is not so attractive as Yao Ming , right ? +You are always so naughty . +Pretty ! Say beautiful rather . Can you imagine any thing nearer perfect beauty than she altogether-face and figure ? +I do not know what I could imagine , but I confess that I have seldom seen a face or figure more pleasing to me than hers . +Such an eye ! The true hazel eye-and so brilliant ! Regular features , open countenance , with a complexion , Oh ! What a bloom of full health , and such a pretty height and size ; such a firm and upright figure ! There is health , not merely in her bloom , but in her air , her head , her glance . One hears sometimes of a child being ' the picture of health ' ; now , she always gives me the idea of being the complete picture of grown-up health . She is loveliness itself . +Is that Mr . Green ? +This is him speaking . +I am calling to inform you that we're happy to have you with us . Welcome aboard , I'm sure your friend would have given you a lot of information of our school and its motto , ways of teaching , etc . +Yes . I am very glad to have the chance . +I'm so nervous about this oral test . +Just calm down . I'm sure you'll do well . +I just want to get it over with . +I hear you ’ re taking a music class . I didn ’ t know you ’ re interested in it . +Oh , I ’ m not . I ’ Ve never had a music class before . +In my opinion , you ’ ll make it . +You ’ re having me on again . +No , I ’ m serious . +What ’ s the date today ? +December the fifteenth . The day after tomorrow is little Tom ’ s birthday . +Right . What present should we give him this time ? By the way , how old is he ? +Thirteen today and tomorrow . Fourteen the day after tomorrow . +How time flies ! He ’ s a big boy now . +And don ’ t forget Mary , Tom ’ s twin sister . It ’ s her birthday , too . +OK . Let ’ s invite all their little friends to come and celebrate . +Peter and Mary broke up . +Are you serious ? +I had a wonderful evening . +I did , too.Come and visit us again , will you ? +I will . +Do you know Sally ? +Sally ? She is a bachelor girl . She is an excellent designer . Many of the company's advertisements are her child trains . +Why is she still single ? She must have a face that would stop a clock . +Oh , quite the other way round . She is a knock-out . She devotes much of her time to her career . +Do you hear what happened to Sally ? +No , what ? +She had to go to the hospital . +Why ? +She passed out in class . Seems she hadn't eaten anything in days . +Why on earth would she do that ? You mean that she intentionally did not eat any food for days ? That's crazy ! +Yeah , but that's what she did . +I can't believe that there are girls who are willing to do that to their bodies . And all for a certain look . +Well , it's not just the girl ’ s fault . It's also society's fault - magazines and ads that show - thin models all saying , It's in to be thin . It's hard for them not to listen . +True , but there are limits . Being thin is one thing ; starving oneself to death is another . No one forces them to do this . +Have you ever thought about Tom ’ s attitude ? +I ’ Ve cut it up and come to the conclusion that hi is actually sick of Jenny ’ s brother . But he likes Jenny . She is a big apple in his eye . +Love me , love my dog . He ’ s a sensible kind man . +That ’ s why many people look up to him . +Have you found another job yet , Sally ? +No , I haven't , but I've seen several interesting advertisements in the paper . +What kind of job are you looking for ? +Either something in the hotel business or something to do with travel . +You haven't had any experience in either of those fields . +I know.But I'd like to try.Look , here are some advertisements that I've cut out . +Hi . Are you new in this class ? +Yes , I am . I really don't know anyone . +My name is Steven . What's your name ? +My name is Bill . How are your lessons going ? +Very well . And my favorite subject is Chinese . +I prefer to learn English . In my opinion , English is easier than Chinese . +I guess English has fewer characters . +You are right . +Robert , this is my friend , Mrs . Smith . +Hi , Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you too . +Mrs . Smith , what do you do for work ? +I'm a doctor . +Oh . Where do you work ? +New York University hospital in New York City . What do you do ? +I'm a teacher . +What do you teach ? +I teach English . +Where ? +At a high school in New Jersey . +That's nice . How old are you ? +I'm 32 . +Hah ! For three hours while you threw up . And Femi dumped me for that . I really loved her . +I'm so sorry , Taylor . Go talk to her . I'm sure she'd be happy to see you . +She probably wouldn't even recognize me . She's probably married . +Yi-jun said Femi was talking about you . So get out there , Tiger ! +Was she really ? So you're telling me there's a chance ? +Can't hurt to try . Carpe diem . Who can say if we'll be here tomorrow or not ? +Oh , Ralph , I heard it is very dangerous traveling in space . Disasters have happened before . If the spaceship were out of order . . . +You should be optimistic about this . Things have taken a good turn . You should remember that less than two centuries ago the dangers of train travel seemed similarly terrible . +But is it possible that travelers could be hit by meteors ? +It's once in blue moon . +What do you think is the real danger man faced in space ? +The main one is radiation . There are two sorts of radiation man must fear in space . The first is radiation from the sun , and this is particularly dangerous when the sun is very active and explosions are occurring on its surface . The second , less harmful , comes from the so-called Van Allen Belts . +Hi , Mark , did you catch the game last night ? +No , I was out . Was it worth watching ? +You didn ’ t hear ? Spain won , two to zero . +Oh , really ? So , Spain is through to the next round ? +Yeah . The final is next week . You have to watch it . +Get up as early as six o'clock only to be jammed at every crossroad and still late for work . What a life ! I've had enough of it . +Cool down , man . Everyone is fed up with the rush-hour traffic . But life isn't really all that . You should take the initiative and make some changes first . +What should I do then ? +I recommend you ride a bike instead of commuting by bus . It may offer you many benefits . First , it's good for your health . I'm afraid it's not necessary for me to further elaborate . While lots of people spend time like an hour each morning exercising , a bike ride to work not only builds you up , but also makes full use of time . You might as well sleep out for a longer hour . +I know cycling is always a more favorable choice than a bus . After all , it's a sport . But do you think it a pleasant experience to take in the dirty , polled air on the road ? +Well , such things are just unavoidable in a great metropolis like Beijing . I think a still more desirable benefit is psychological . Bicycling home after work can help release your stress . Life in the offices is miserable . You just sit there in a daze , gazing at the monitor and dealing with files and documents . Why don't you give a full play to your energy after work ? Enjoy the speed on the road . Just think , you are flashing past the poles with your own energy . How great ! +How many people are there in your family ? +Five . Besides my parents and me , there are my brother and sister . +That ’ s a big family . How old is your brother ? +Eighteen . +What about your sister ? +She ’ s not quite twenty-five . +Do you miss your family ? +Yes . +Do you often go home ? +No . But I often send e-mail to them . And make a call to my parents regularly . +How often do you call to them ? +Once a week . +I'm terribly nervous . +Calm down ! +What's wrong ? You don't like ancient Egypt ? +Actually , I don't like history . Lately , these shows are always about the Pyramids . +The Pyramids are amazing ! Millions of gigantic stones ... each one perfect ... +And nobody knows who built them , right ? It's a total mystery ! +You sound like the TV ! You're not going to tell me that aliens built the Pyramids , are you ? +What's the problem , Nada ? You look down in the dumps . +I don't know . My life is a big mess . Everything is so complicated . +Come on , nothing can be that bad . +But promise me , you'll keep it a secret . +Ok , I promise . So what's troubling you so much ? +I've fallen in love with my boss . +Really ? Is he married ? +Bo , of course not . He is still single . +Then what's your problem ? +I try to keep it to myself . But there is a lot of gossip about us . +Oh , I see . Office romance tends to be the subject of gossip . +Worse still , he is trying to avoid me these days . +Office romance is very tricky . +It gives me a lot of pressure and I feel depressed . +Cheer up , Nada . You'll be fine . +How may I help you ? +I want to return this video . +Is that all you need ? +I also need to check these books out . +Anything else ? +That ’ s everything . +I need your library card . +I have it . Here you go . +Do you need anything else ? +That ’ s everything . +Your books are due back two weeks from today . +Thank you . Good night . +Did you happen to bring that book that we were talking about yesterday ? +I did . Let me go get it for you . Here you go . +Thanks so much . +I like the way that the gifts I get increasingly more lavish . +I had no idea that there were specific things that should be given on different anniversaries . +So what does it say you should give your wife this first anniversary ? +It says that traditionally , give something made of paper . +I can think of two things made of paper — stationery and money . +I'm going to the park to play baseball with the guys . +But you promised to play chess with me this afternoon . +Yeah , but that was before the guys ask me to join the team . +So what ? +You know how much I want to be on the team , and now there is an opening for me.If I don't go to practise today.They ' ll get someone else and I'll miss my chance . +I don't care about baseball.You know I need to practice for the chess championship and you promised to help with me if I washed the dishes for you last Sunday , and I did . +I know , and I will . +When ? +After baseball practice . +And then , it'll be dinner time , then homework , and then your Show is on.You are going to break your promise . +No , I won't . I'm going to skip TV tonight and work on your chess game with you if that's ok with you . +Well , I'd rather do it the way we set up.But if you promise to give me your best game , it's ok with me . +No problem , I'll play as hard as I can and give you an extra game to say thanks . +What stresses you out the most ? +Probably my parents . +How so ? +Well , during school , they wanted good grades . Then after I got a job , they wanted me to get a better job . And finally , they want me to get married . +You have to deal with a lot of pressure from your parents . +Your parents are not like that ? +Ever since I brought home some bad grades in elementary school , they never expected much . +You're lucky . +What do you do to deal with the stress ? +Not much I can do . It's always there . I sometimes go out with some friends and drink , but that's only a temporary solution . The stress always returns in the morning . +That sucks . You wanna go grab a beer ? +Sure . Sounds great . Let's go . +Tony looks very handsome in the suit . +He prefers suits to jackets . +Judge from his look , he's a very serious person . +As a matter of fact , he is . +Lily thinks that the job takes a back seat to the family after she is married . +She must be a good wife . +Not necessarily . This is only what she says , not what she does . +I see . +What's the weather like ? +I don't know . I just woke up . +Why don't you look outside ? +Okay . It looks like rain . +Why do you say that ? +The sky is gray . +Is it raining right now ? +No . +How do you know ? +The street isn't wet . +I have to go shopping today . +You'd better take an umbrella . +Hey there , you look a little lost . Are you new here ? +Yeah how ’ d you know ? +You can always spot the newbies . I can give you a few pointers if you want . Were you trying to use this machine here ? +Yeah ! I just started my training today and I ’ m not really sure where to begin . +It ’ s ok , I know how it is . This machine here will work out your upper body , mainly your triceps and biceps . Are you looking to develop strength or muscle tone and definition ? +Well , I don ’ t want to be ripped like you ! I just want a good physique with weights and Carpio . +In that case you want to work with less weight . You can start off by working ten to fifteen reps in four sets . Five kilo weights should be enough . Now it ’ s very important that you stretch before pumping iron or you might pull a muscle . +Got it ! Wow is that the weight you are lifting ? My goodness that ’ s a lot of weight ! +It ’ s not that much . Just watch ... I ’ m ok ... +I don't know how John can put up with his son , who fools around without working . +He's out of John's hands . Nothing he can do about such a black sheep . +If I were him , I would give him a good talking-to . I would insist on his stopping fooling around like that . +Do you like ice skating ? +I have never tried it . +Then you've got to try it . Let's go to the skating rink on Thursday . +Sorry , I don't think I can . +Friday then . How about it ? +Friday is great . +It's settled then . +Gordon , you're ever so late . +Yes , I am sorry . I missed the bus . +But there's a bus every ten minutes , and you are over 1 hour late . +Well , I missed several buses . +How on earth can you miss several buses ? +I , ah ... , I got have late . +Oh , come on , Gordon , it's the afternoon now . Why were you late really ? +Well , I ... I lost my wallet , and I ... +Have you got it now ? +Yes , I found it again . +When ? +This morning . I mean ... +I am not convinced by your explanation . +Let's have seafood tonight and then go see the new movie at Mall Cinema.Betsy told me it's a beautiful love story and I shouldn't miss it . +Oh , Goodness , please not again.That ' s what we did last week . +No , we didn't . Last week we went to see that movie about a man's struggle against mental illness . +Right , it was a chick flick , just like this one , so what's the difference ? Besides , this is the last week for the third movie in Destroyer series and I want to see that on a big screen . Action movies need to be seen in a theater on a big screen . +Oh , yeah , and I did promise to see it with you if we went to that movie last week.But you liked that movie , didn't you ? +Oh , sure , it was great . I had popcorn for dinner and paid the price of a movie ticket to get a two-hour nap . +It wasn't that bad , and you're the one that insisted on skipping dinner.We went to an excellent restaurant . +That place doesn't have a single meat dish.Just fish and shellfish and you know I don't like fish that much . +And I don't like meat that much.The only meat I eat is chicken . +But when I pick the restaurant , we go to a place that has both chicken and fish . I always respect your food preferences . +Well , I suppose that , to be fair , you should get to pick the movie and we can go to a restaurant that serves meat . +Now you're talking , we can see that love story next time . +How's your new job going ? +Really well , thanks . +How are you finding your new boss ? +She's not bad . She's a bit bossy , but I'm sure I'll get used to her . +Would you rather have her or your old boss back ? +She's far better than my old boss . He didn't know how to express his opinion without putting at least one other person down . +How about your new co-workers ? +They are all pretty easy-going . It's a very friendly place to work . +Do you miss your old co-workers ? +Of course . I spent so much time at my old workplace that I got to know them all very well . They were like family to me . +Do people in different departments get along with each other ? +Sure . Since we work together in teams , we have to get along with each other . +Do you like working in teams with people from different departments ? +Yes , it helps everyone to understand what we're doing from different perspectives . +Do you like working in teams ? +I prefer it to working independently . I think most people do . +Linda , John and I are going to get married next week . +That's wonderful . Congratulations . +Thank you , Linda . We would love you to come to our wedding . +I'd love to . What date is it ? +It's May 1st . +What day is that ? +It's Saturday . Could you make the time ? +Yes , sure . What time will the wedding begin ? +At nine sharp . +Very good ! I'm looking forward to it . Please give my best regards to John . And I wish you best luck ! +Thanks . +So do you think you can get to the office alone ? +Sure , I ’ ll catch the train . If I can ’ t catch the train , I ’ ll get a taxi . +Do you think the taxi driver will understand you ? +If he doesn ’ t understand me , I ’ ll show him the office address on my business card . +Ok but how will we know if you are going to be late ? +I ’ ll call you if I ’ m delayed . +You and Bob have finished ? +Yes . +Are you going to be okay ? +Yes , I'm used to being on my own . +Tony looks very handsome in the suit . +He prefers suits to jackets . +Judge from his look , he's a very serious person . +As a matter of fact , he is . +You are friend of Janet , right ? I am Andrew , Andrew Smith . +Nice to meet you , Andrew . I am Noirin , Noirin O'Neil . +I'm sorry , I didn't quite catch that . +Noirin , N-O-I-R-I-N , it's an Irish name . +Wow ! It ’ s packed . +The train station is indeed crowded . I think it ’ s hard for us to get on the train . +it's getting cold . +yes . I bought a scarf yesterday . It's really nice and warm . Have a look . +Oh , it's made of wool . I like the striped pattern . +yes , I adore simple fashions . How does it look on me ? +it looks great , but you need something to go with it . It's too plain on its own . +how about this blue sweater ? +that's a good idea . When did you buy it ? Is it a name brand ? +yes , but I bought it when it was on sale , 50 % off the original price . OK , what do you think ? +that looks lovely . Just one more thing---you need a pair of earrings . +I've got a pair of pearl earrings . Here it is . +perfect ! +you have good fashion sense , Karen . +thanks . We should be ourselves . There are so many fashion victims out there . +yes , but with our sense we'll always look good . +Susan ? What brings you here today ? +Well , I ’ Ve got some papers due . +Really ? So what ’ s the news ? +Not too good yet . Better than I was though . +Hello , Mary . +Hello , Brian . +Here is my friend Bob . +Hello , Bob . +Are you free tonight ? +Depends . +Wanna chill out and watch cable ? +Wow ! Besides The Cosby Show , I've never seen a black sitcom . What's this program ? +It's a drama called Soul Food . This channel is BET-Black Entertainment Television . It has black shows , news and commercials . +This show is like a black Friends . +BET has black shows that are overlooked by mainstream white TV . +That's cool . I've heard LA has an all-Asian channel on cable . +My boss wore a real stupid tie to work today . Can you guess why ? +He isn't a man of good taste for clothes , is he ? +He is , but I didn't mean that . His daughter bought him a tie as a Father's Day gift , and he was very happy to wear it and show it off to us in the office . +It must be hard being a father . +No , it's great being a father , seeing your children growing up and loving you and admiring you . +Maybe you'll only feel that way on Father's Day . +So Alex , you ’ re off to the Olympic stadium then ? +Yes , I should get there just in time for the women ’ s 400m relay . +Wow , that should be really exciting , especially with so many famous athletes there . +Yes , I ’ m also going to watch the triple jump and the high jump . +Well have a good time . Get me some autographs if you can . +Ok , I ’ ll try my best . +Where did you go yesterday ? +I went to play tennis in the public park . +How often do you play tennis ? +Twice a week . How about you ? +I seldom play tennis . I prefer football and basketball . +But it is very difficult to gather a team of players together . +I usually play with my schoolmates . +Do you like watching football matches ? +Yes , I went to the Than He Sports Center for the football match last Sunday . +... And now , let ’ s go to Kenny Williams for today ’ s weather forecast . +Thank you Bill , and good morning Salt Lake City ! +What ’ s the weather looking like today , Kenny ? +Well , it ’ s a bit of a mixed bag in Utah today . we ’ Ve got heavy cloud cover here in Northern Utah , and we ’ re calling for scattered showers throughout the day , with a day-time high of forty-five degrees.Now , if we move down to the south of the state , we can see that a cold front is moving in.We can expect clear skies , but it will be quite cold , with temperatures hovering around the thirty degree mark . +It ’ s a chilly day folks , so don ’ t forget your coats ! What about tomorrow Kenny ? Do you have good news for us ? +Well , it ’ ll be a rainy day for Northern Utah.we can expect some isolated downpours in the morning . Winds will be coming in from the North East , with gusts reaching twenty-three miles per hour . Salt Lake City can expect the rain to turn to sleet in the evening . Things are looking a bit better for the South.we ’ ll see cloudy skies with a chance of showers . Later in the day , we can expect partlycloudy skies , with a forecast high of thirty-eight degrees . +You heard it folks ! It ’ s gonna be a cold one ! +That ’ s right Bill . We will have more later on today on the six o ’ clock news . That ’ s the weather forecast for this morning . +He's been compared to Rimbaud , you know . +You mean as in Sylvester Stallone ? +No , you idiot . I mean the poet , Arthur Rimbaud - R , I , M , B , A , U , D . +I am having a hard time at my job . +What's wrong , Julia ? +My colleagues quickly get promotions , while I always get sidelined . I don't know what to do anymore . +Don't give up so soon . +But I don't know what else I can do . I am willing to work hard . Sometimes I make mistakes and the boss is not happy . +Mistakes are just a lessons to learn from . +Tell that to my boss . +Do you know Abraham Lincoln ? +Yes . +He grew up poor in Kentucky and barely had a year of schooling , but he went on to become the President of United States . +He was also assassinated because of his views . +He is known as American's greatest president . Do you know why ? Because he fought against slavery and secession at a time in history where others were too afraid to do anything . He succeeded because of his ambition and generous spirit . +Well , if he can become president , then I can at least get a promotion . +That's the spirit . Never give up on your dream . +Well , my particular interest is collecting stamps , especially the rare ones . What about you ? +I ’ m afraid that ’ s not my cup of tea . I just find skin-diving attracting . +So have you ever been to the stamp display of the town ? +Hello ! +Oh , hi ! +Please allow me to introduce myself . My name is Tom . +Pleased to meet you . My name is Alice . Did you just move in next door ? +Yes , I did . Have you lived here long ? +Me ? I guess so . I've lived here for about six years now . Have you lived in America very long ? +No , not really . When I left Vietnam , I came to America and I lived with a cousin in Dallas for two years . Where do you work , Alice ? +I teach mathematics at a college . What do you do ? +I am an accountant at a company . +Well , Tom . It's good to meet you . I have to go now . I am teaching a class this evening , and I need to get to the college . +It's nice meeting you too , Alice . +See you around ! +Goodbye , Alice . +Excuse me . I am interested in getting a library card . +Sure , let me give you an application . You can fill it out right here at the counter . +OK , here it is . +Let me take a look at this for you . May I have your driver's license , please ? +Here's my license and form . +You seem to have filled the form out all right . Are you familiar with our rules and fines ? +Yes , I know what to do . +The hours and limitations are printed on the card and this handout . +OK . +Thank you for joining the library ; we look forward to serving you . +Hey , Frank . I heard you got a new job . +Yeah , Judy . I will be working for the Post Office . It ’ s not a bad job . +Is it true that you have a heavy work schedule ? +That ’ s right . I report to work at 5am everyday , and I only get 45 minutes for lunch . +So , why did you apply for such a demanding job ? +Well , the government offers its employees excellent health insurance benefits . +Oh , I see . And can your family utilize 5 the health insurance , too ? +Yeah , that ’ s the best part . All of my children can get free medical care . +That ’ s a great employment benefit ! +Now you know why I wanted to work for the Post Office ! +He has come to life in the end . +Oh , thank God . We all felt frightened by the bad new about him . +Yes . Fortunately , an ambulance passed in the nick of time , and we got him away to hospital . +Right . Unless , who know what will happen . +Wish him to be healthy soon . +Harry , do you like the opera ? +No , not really . +Why is that ? It is called real art . +Well , it's very expensive and they're usually singing in another language . That kind of gets on my nerves . +Yeah , that makes sense . +Lisa wins the first prize in the English speech contest of her college . +Really ? That's really wonderful . I'm so happy for her . +But I always feel disappointed . I have many problems with English learning . +Honey , cheer up . +I feel confused about the grammars . +I'm sure you'll do fine if you try your best . +And my writing is not good . I feel so frustrated . +Be confident , and never give up . +I know that , mom . But sometimes I'm just sad . +Keep your chin up . Remember ? Nothing is impossible to a willing heart . +Yes , mom . You are right . Nothing is impossible to a willing heart . I will keep going . +how did you do on your BELTS exam ? +fantastic ! I got an overall score of eight . +that's excellent ! Have you received your conditional offers yet ? +yes . I'm just waiting until I officially get admitted to the university with a conditional offer to apply for my visa . +do you know where the visa office is ? +no . +it's just near the Dong Si Shi Tiao subway stop . +that's not too far away . Do you think I'll get a visa ? +have you ever gone abroad before ? +yes , I've been to Tailband , Egypt , and Japan . +have you ever been denied a visa before ? +never . +that's good . Are you planning on immigrating to another country ? +no , I want to come back to China after I graduate . +that's exactly what the visa officers want to hear . Do you have enough money for tuition and room and board ? +I've received a full scholarship , so I won't need any other money to live off while I'm studying . +I think you have a very good chance of getting a visa . I can help you prepare for the visa interview if you want . +that's be great . The more prepared I am , the better . +Hi there , I'm Steve Saunders.What ' s your name ? +I'm Patti Whitney.Isn ' t this convention great ? +Yes it is , better than I expected it would be.The presenters have been first rate.Is this the first conference you've been to ? +No , I've been coming for the last 3 years.Each year keeps getting better.Where are you from ? +I'm from Long Island , New York.What about yourself ? +I'm from the other side of the coast--Los Angeles . +Wow . I really like California ... the weather there is much better than the East Coast . +Have you been to California ? +Just once.Quite a few years ago we took the kids to Disneyland on our vacation.They had a blast . +How many kids do you have ? +Two , a boy and a girl.They ’ re already grown now . +Well , California ’ s changed over the last little while.You should come back out sometime . +I dislike Susan . She is always above herself . +Don ’ t you know that she was the only one who had received the invitation in the office ? +What of it ? +Sure . +Does it bother you that your husband goes away on long business trips ? +No.The time we have spent apart has been good for us.Absence makes the heart grow fonder . +What can I do for you ? +I ’ m returning these books . +Let me have them . +Here are all of them . +These books are two weeks late . +I didn ’ t have time to return them . +You ’ re going to have to pay late fees . +How much ? +25 cents a day . +25 cents a day ? +That means 25 cents for each late book . +That ’ s expensive . +I hear you're entering the speech contest , Mike . +That's right . I thought I'd give it a shot . +Well , I wish you good luck ! +What shall we do after the volleyball match ? +How about going to the Olympic souvenir store to have a look ? I remember there is one in the gym . +That's a good idea . I was thinking of buying some gifts for my family . +Me , too . What did you have in mind ? +I haven't decided yet , but I think the Olympic Mascots are a must . +I agree . They're very lovely , especially Huanhuan +Is that the red one ? That is my favorite , too . Do you know how much they are ? +The five dolls are sold together as a set , and they're priced according to the size . The bigger they are the more expensive . +Oh , I see . If I buy more than a set , can I get any discount ? +I don't think so . All the souvenirs of the Olympic Games are very hot right now . +Any other ideas ? +There are lots of things , such as postcards , key chains , posters and various arts and crafts . +It all sounds great . We can go there after the match . I can't wait to see what they have . +It is time to butter him up . +What do you have to do to grease the palm of him ? +I don ’ t know . Let me see . +You can go and ask your father . +Cindy , I heard you got into that university . Congratulations ! +Thanks ! I'm so happy . It's like a dream come true . +Hello ? +Hi Vicky . +Are you there yet ? +Yes . +I just got off the subway . I'm almost there . Sorry I'm late . +That's no problem . I just wanted to tell you I'm inside . +Where are you ? +On the second floor . +Should I come to the second floor or do you want to come to the first floor ? +Come upstairs . +What ? +Oh , Can you hear me OK ? I said , come to the second floor . +Oh , OK . What are you doing there ? +Just looking at some books on how to learn English . +Do you want to get something to eat later ? +No , I'm still full from dinner . +What do you want to do ? +I don't know for sure . When you get here we'll talk about it . +OK , see you soon . +Bye . +Who's that old lady trimming the trees ? +She's my grandma . +She looks very healthy.How old is she ? +92 . +What do you think are the main causes of war today ? +I ’ d say the main reason is poverty . Countries and their people get frustrated because they have so little . If their neighbors have some resources , they try to steal them by military force . +It seems that a lot of wars nowadays are really civil wars . People from different ethnic groups in the same country sometimes fight for power in that country . +Several of those civil wars have been going on for years and years . It seems they will never end . +How do you think they could be ended ? +I don ’ t think that there is any easy way . The united nations could send peacekeepers into the country . At least then the warring parties could be forced to negotiate . The thing is to find the real problem form the war and solve that . +So , if the cause is poverty , there should be a program to make the country richer . If the problem is resources , share them . +It sounds easy when you say it like that . In reality , it ’ s harder to make peace between countries . +Yes . It is . One way to stop countries fighting is to cut off their financial support . Wars are very expensive . +The problem is that many poor people might suffer . +Are you feeling better today , Bill ? +Well , it's hard to say . I cough a lot in the evening . +You'd better give up smoking . It's bad for your health . +You're right , but you know , it's hard to give up an old habit . +But you should make up your mind first . +You know , I often have to work til late at night . I need something to keep me awake . +Why don't you go to bed and get up early ? You'll have the same time for work . +Thank you for your advice ! I'll try it . +Well , I must be off now . I have an appointment at six . +In that case , I won't keep you any longer . Drop in any time . +Ok . Goodbye . +See you later . +Hello , Julia , I know a party that will begin at midnight . Would you love to go ? +I'd love to , but my mother asks me to go home before 11:00 every night . She will worry if I get home late . +What a pity ! The party is very interesting . +I have no choice . My mother is always very strict with me . +Don ’ t complain about it . She is concerned about your safety . +You're right . Mother's love is the greatest love in the world . +Steven , why are you so depressed ? +I'm feeling very sad . I just read the newspaper . +What's the news ? +According to the newspaper , the town was razed by an earthquake and more than 10 thousand people died in the earthquake . +It's horrible . +Yeah , we have to do something to help the people in the stricken area . +Yes . How about donating some money ? +It's a good idea . But where can we donate money ? +Just find the answer through Internet . +Yes , let's do it now . +I don ’ t know how to deal with Jack . He is indeed a trouble maker . He has louse up my business several times . +You mean Lily ’ s boyfriend ? +Yeah . +Well , he is a hard case . Everyone would feel headache about him . +Who's that over here ? +That's the new teacher . +What do you think of the teacher ? +She's very nice . +What does she teach ? +English , of course . +Is she your teacher ? +Yes.She teaches our class three times a week . +Can she speak Chinese to her students ? +Not very much . +It's a good thing you can speak English ! +Judy , what is everybody talking about ? +Haven ’ t you heard ? Richard was fired by our manager . +You ’ re kidding . It can ’ t be true . +Believe it or not . Everybody is talking about it in the company . +Really ? I ’ m surprised . +Me too . +Hi , Mike . Haven't seen you for a while . How's Cathy ? +We are not seeing each other any more . +What happened ? Did you break up ? +Yeah . I got sick and tired of her nagging all the time . +Oh , I am sorry . Maybe you were just emotional at that moment . Do you think you guys can get back together ? +I don't know . There ’ s plenty of fish out there in the sea ! +Oh , you are such a dog ! +They're very good friends , aren't they ? +I wouldn't say that.They seem to be on good terms but actually they always speak ill of each other . +Oh , it's unbelievable ! +I went to Jessie's birthday party yesterday . It was very good . +I didn't know about it . What did you do ? +We ate a lot of things . We played games and gave gifts to Jessie . We had a lot of fun . +You were really lucky . +My birthday comes next month . I want to hold a birthday party , too . +I hope I can go to your party . +My friend finally dumped her boyfriend , and she's sworn she's going to abstain until she finds the right man to marry . +After going through an episode like that I'm not surprised . How's her headspace ? +She's doing great , she's getting her confidence back , and her self-esteem , has improved drastically.She ' s very happy . +I'm proud of you for standing by her . I think you've helped make a big difference in her life . +Do you have any plans for next Sunday evening ? +No , why ? +My friend , who had the mishap , wants to take us to dinner to show her gratitude for helping her . +She doesn't need to do that , I didn't do anything . +She feels you gave me the freedom to be able to assist her and she appreciates that . Come on , Let's indulge her . +Hey , Tom , what to go for a run ? +No thanks . I like to run in the morning . I ran a couple of miles when I woke up today . +I try to do that , but I can ’ t get up early enough . +I couldn ’ t either at first , but you get used to it . +It ’ s so hot at lunchtime ; I ’ d rather run in the morning . +Well , why don ’ t you come tomorrow ? I ’ ll stop by your house on my way out . +I could try , but I can ’ t say for sure if I ’ ll get up in time . What time do you want to go ? +I ’ ll give you a call around 6 o'clock and stop by around 6 thirty . +O . K . , maybe if I have someone to go with , I ’ ll be able to get up in time for a jog . +Great , I ’ ll see you then . +See you . +How's the weather today ? +It's cloudy . +Is it going to rain today ? +I doubt it . +But I heard it might rain . +Well , the way you drive , Jen ... I still don't think that's a good idea . +I really love this music . It's a compilation . +I know . It's a mix of all the latest songs . +And you got them off the Net ? +No . I recorded these from your Cds . +Well , thanks for asking for my permission ... Now hand it over and let me record ! +I knew I shouldn't have shown you my new toy ... +Um , which of them is the better typist ? +Well , Mary types faster than Jones . But I think Jones types more carefully . +Is there any difference in their short hand ? +Jones can certainly take down letter more quickly , but Mary ’ s short hand is the best in her class . +How about languages ? +Both of them speak excellent French . But I think Mary speaks German more fluently than Jones does . +Um . That doesn ’ t really matter . Because we have more French visitors than German . +My friend George has been to Switzerland twice . +Does he like that country ? +Yes , he likes the people and the quietness there . +Would you ask him to tell us more about the country ? +Hello , Ann ! Is that you ? +Yes , it is . Hi , Tom ! It's a real surprise to see you here . +It's been a long time ! What's new ? +Nothing much . What about you ? Is everything going well ? +Not bad I guess . I just got back from Hawaii . +How was it ? +I had a good time . You seem to be in a hurry . Don't let me hold you up . +Sorry , I've got a meeting in half an hour . +Ok , I won't keep you then . +Great ! It's good to see you . Goodbye ! +Yes , stay in touch . Bye ! +Give me your email , would you ? +Sure ! It's txyb@gmail.com . +Ok ... I ’ ll talk to you later . Bye +Carrie , are you ok ? You seem a bit down . +I just got off the phone with my boyfriend . He is always getting upset and losing his temper over nothing . It ’ s so hard to talk to him at times . +Maybe it ’ s just that he is stressed out from work or something . He does have a pretty nerve wracking job you know . +Yeah but , he is always in a really foul mood . I try to find out what ’ s bothering him or get him to talk about his day but , he always shuts down and brushes me off . +Men are like that you know.They can feel nervous , anxious or on edge and the only way they can express it is by trying to hide it through aggressiveness . +I guess you are right . What do you think I should do ? He wasn ’ t always this grouchy you know ... +Talk to him , try to cheer him up when he is down and if that doesn ’ t work , I say get rid of him and get a new one ! +You are something else you know that ? +Hi , my name ’ s Karl . My wife and I are moving in next door . +Hello , Karl . I ’ m Chuck Jones . We ’ re going to be neighbors . +I ’ m happy to meet you . It seems everyone in town is so friendly . +This is a small town , and we like to be neighborly . We know everyone who lives around here . +Well , I ’ m from Chicago . There few people take the time to get to know their neighbors . +So , tell me , Karl , why did you come all the way to Minnesota to live ? +We wanted to live in a more peaceful community and have more space . Another reason is , we can afford to buy a home here , but we can ’ t in Chicago ! +Look ! It ’ s the start of the Olympic Games . +So what ? +You want to watch , don ’ t you ? +Not really . I couldn ’ t careless about the Olympic Games . +Please yourself . +The question is easy for everybody.Don ' t you think so ? +Yeah , it's very easy . But it's above Nick's head +Why do you say so ? +He's always confused by easy questions . +I can ’ t believe it ! +What ’ s wrong ? That was a great goal . +Yes , but I bet $ 200 dollars on the Cougars ! +Looks like you ’ re going to lose out on this game then . +I can ’ t believe it ! I thought the Cougars were going to win for sure . +What were the odds ? +20 to 1 , in favour of the Cougars ! +Too bad . +Jenny , I was wondering ... if you .. eh are you busy this Friday ? +Yes , Friday I have a class , right after work . +Oh , what about Saturday ? Are you free then ? +Saturday my parents are coming to town . What ’ s up ? +What about tonight ? Do you have plans tonight ? +No , do you want to go and do something ? +Yes , yes , I want to take you to dinner . +Oh , that sounds great . How about 6 o ’ clock ? +Excuse me ? Is this where I register ? I ’ d like to sign up for my courses for next semester . +Yes , of course . I need your student ID please . +Here you are . +Okay , Susan . It says here that you are a business major and you are in your second year . Is this information correct ? +Yes . I do want to take some additional credits this year to get a minor in psychology . +Sure.That ’ s not a problem.Do you have the list of courses you want to taketh semester ? +Yeah . Here ’ s my list . I ’ m not sure if the class schedule will allow me to take all of them though . +Yeah , that ’ s perfect . What about the subjects for your minor ? +Oh yeah ! Almost forgot ! I need to take fundamental linguistics , consumer psychology and neuroanatomy . +Wow , you are going to be busy this semester ! Okay , here you go . You are registered now . you ’ ll have to make your first tuition payment before classes start . +Is your city a historical place ? +Not rally . 200 years ago , it was just a small insignificant village . +How did it grow into such a large place ? +Large deposits of coal were found nearly and so many industries located themselves here . The village quickly grew into a key industrial centre . +As the city grew , it must have absorbed many village nearby . +Yes , it did . The names of those village survive as the names of parts of the city . +I see . Are there any building more than 200 years old in your city ? +Oh , yes . Several of the buildings from the villages still survive . Many of them were inns for travelers and today survive as pubs . There was a castle near one village , so our city has a castle too . +Really ? So your city does have some old history after all . +Most of our customers are foreigners . How many foreign languages can you speak , Elizabeth ? +Two . French and Spanish . +And how well can you speak them ? +Well , French was my best subject at school . I can read and write it pretty well . +And how about your Spanish ? +Well , it's not as good as my French . I can speak it reasonably well , but my written Spanish isn't very good . +I see . Well , we have a lot of Spanish customers , but you wouldn't need to write any Spanish here . +In that case , I'm fit for the position I think . +Did you watch the old-fashioned wrestling game last night ? +Yes , of course . And I'm amazed the those karate and judo boys were so helpless before the wrestlers . +You bet . The wrestlers had got sound defences and they simply couldn't make it . +Do you mind if I get a lift in your car , please ? +I don ’ t see any problem , only the car is a bit old . +Oh you ’ re so kind ! +Get in . +Fred , can you tell me how I can open my QQ Zone ? +Click your right key of mouse and choose QQ Zone . +Well , I have to provide some of my information , right ? +Yep ! The nick name for your zone , address , gender and so on . Some of them are privacy , so you have the right to keep secret here . +All information is filled in and now I can design my zone . +You can choose one type to make it as your background , and then find a music player and put your favorite songs into it , so your visitors can enjoy the music after entering into your zone . +Now everything is OK . I can write my blog , right ? +Certainly . +( Half an hour , Janice begins shouting excitedly . ) What's the matter with you ? +Look ! David gives his following-comment on my first blog . He is my first visitor . +Do you remember Tina , my good friend ? +Yes . +She just broke up with her boyfriend . +Well , that happens . I hope she is all right . +But the problem is she and her ex-boyfriend are working in the same department . It is somehow embarrassing for them to see each other everyday . +That is the down side of an office romance . I hope their work is not affected by the emotional stress . The boss must be very annoyed if that will be the case . +Well , Tina says she would be able to handle it and concentrate on her own work , easier set them done . But working harder and concentrating only on the job might well helped to overcome the initial stress of the breakup . +Hi Bill , I saw your grandma yesterday . +Oh where was that ? +I was running around the track at my college and there she was walking around the same track . +Grannie always tries to stay fit and healthy . She is always making us kids eat the proper foods . +Well , it pays off for her . How old is she anyway ? +She will be 86 next month . +That is truly amazing ! +What time shall I pick you up ? +How about 6:30 ? +That'll be fine . See you soon . +Hi , Zhengjun , what make you so happy . +You know what , I've just got a new job with a computer company . +Oh , congratulations ! +Hi , Linda . I haven't seen you for ages . +Yes . I miss you very much . +So do I . +Have you graduated from college ? +Yes . I graduated last year and got a job in a press . +Has the train come yet ? +No , I ‘ Ve been waiting for ages . +It ’ s so unreliable . I ’ Ve been late for my meetings all this week . +Yes , me too . I think I ’ Ve lost some important clients recently because of this train ! +Yes , my customers have started to complain too ! +Oh look ! Here it comes now ! +I've got some bad news about the bike you lent me . +What's that ? +I fell on the way to school , and your bike got scratched . I'm really sorry . +Don't worry about it . It's not new , it already has a few scratches . Did you get hurt ? +No , thank you . +That's the most important thing . +It's kind of you to say . I feel a little stupid . +Forget about it . +When you lent me the bike , it looked brand new , almost anyway . +Maybe , but really I have fallen a couple of times and it's been hit once or twice as well . +I appreciate that , thank you . +Jenny is going to marry another man next month . +Yes , I know . +But , how can you be so calm . You loved her so much . +At least I ’ m the one who rates with her . I ’ m glad we can still be friends . +What's your favorite sport ? +Basketball , I'm a basketball fan . +Hello , Jane . What do you do in your spare time ? +Well , nothing special , reading , watching TV , walking , and so on . +Don't you have any hobbies , like stamp collecting or things like that ? +No , I don't have any hobbies . How about you ? +I like collecting antiques . It's expensive , but it's a lot of fun . +Really ? How many collections do you have ? +So far I have more than 500 collections . +Among those collections , which is the most expensive ? +A set of ancient china . It is really invaluable . +It seems to me that everything is going digital nowadays . +Yes . Speaking of digital wares , I bought a digital camera last week . +Cool ! What brand +A Sony . It's only one third the size of my old camera and looks rather smart . +What about the quality ? +Superb ! It's a 4 megapixel one and the photos it takes are very vivid and clear . +It's four o'clock already . I hate to leave , but I think I must . +Can you stay a little longer ? +I'm sorry , but I can't . +Can I see your parents some time tomorrow ? +Sorry , they are too busy these days . +How about this weekend ? +Yes , I think so . +Happy Thanksgiving ! +You , too . +Let's have pumpkin pie . +It's my favorite . +Are you going anywhere for your vacation ? +Yes , we're making plans for a tour . +That'll be lovely . Where are you going ? +Well start out from Long Island this Friday . We've planned a four day drive to Salt Lake City , where we'll join my brother and his family on his fortieth birthday . +Well , you've got to prepare a lot of food and enough sleeping bags then . +Oh , we'll spend the nights in hotels and enjoy local food as we pass by . How does it sound , David ? +It sounds good . You can do a lot of sightseeing , too . +Yes , we'll take our time . And we'll go to Five-lake Strict and the Wall Street . +So , you're going to have a really nice vacation . +You can say that again . +Would you like to book a table , sir ? +Yes , would you arrange it for me the day after tomorrow ? +Sure , when ? +Six o'clock in the afternoon . +For how many guests , please ? +Six . +How much would you like to spend ? +We don't care about money . We'd like to have some good dishes of local specialties . +OK . +How many courses are there altogether , please ? +Eight . +Could you tell me some of entrees about the dinner ? +Sure . The main courses are roast Beijing duck and fried eel slices . +Very good . +Did you watch TV last night , Rose ? +Yeah . I saw a science program . It was quite interesting . +What was it about ? +Mars . Scientists say there might be water on it . +If so , we may live there someday . +I hope so . Did you know the US successfully sent two robotic explorers to Mars last month ? +Sure . I heard about this on the TV . On January 3rd , 2004 , Explorer Spirit landed near the so-called Guser Crater . And three weeks later , Spirit's twin explorer , Opportunity , landed on Meridian Planum named by scientists . +Yes . Both have sent back pictures of the planet . And the latter did a better job . +How is your job search going , Janet ? +I found the ideal position . I ’ m working for a plumbing company . +Are you serious ? You studied mathematics at college for four years , and now you have a job working with your hands ! +Plumbing work requires mathematics knowledge , and creativity . I love this job . +I can see that . But I didn ’ t know you had experience in that line of work . +I didn ’ t , but I applied for an apprenticeship , and since I studied math , AND I have a good attitude , my application was accepted . +Congratulations ! You do have the right attitude . +We are going to the concert this evening . Will you join us ? +I'm very sorry I can't . +Why not ? +I've been snowed under with work since my boss was away on business . +Well , if it isn't the teacher's pet ! +Stop it . Teacher doesn't treat me any different than she does everyone else . +You can't prove that by me . I saw the score on your report . +Hey , I worked hard on that report and I deserve the grade I got . +It just happened to be the highest grade in the class . +You're just jealous because you didn't do as well as you thought you did . Admit it . +I worked hard too . But she always gives me a lower grade . +If you think that she is not fair with your work then you should talk to her in person instead of stewing over it . +You won one million yuan in a lottery . What will you say ? +I don't know . I'm too excited to say a word . +I understand . It's too good to be true , isn't it ? +Yes , too good to be true . +I was supposed to meet with you at half past one . +Yes , I see . What did you need to see me about ? +There's a problem with my schedule . +What's the problem ? +Two of my classes occur at the same time . +Well , I can see that's a problem . +Is it at all possible for you to fix that error ? +Yes , I can . Would you still like to have both of these classes ? +I want to keep both of them , if that's possible . +Well , let me find you one of these classes on a different day . +Thanks a lot . +I went bungee jumping yesterday . +That sounds like fun . +Hello , Tom , are you free next Sunday ? +I think so . Why did you ask that ? +I'm going to have my first baby , so I plan to hold a baby shower next Sunday . +Congratulations ! Why do people hold parties before the baby is born ? +It's the tradition . But baby showers as we know them today were not common until after World Warri . +In any case , I like baby showers , because they allow friends and family to share the joy and excitement of welcoming a new life into the world . +So you will come , won't you ? +Of course . I will prepare a good gift for the new arrival . +Thank you very much . +What are you doing ? +What am I doing ? What am I doing ? Don ’ t you know what day it is ? +Mumm . no . +It ’ s only the day when the world ’ s biggest sporting event is kicking off . +What ? +The World Cup ! The first match is today ! It ’ s Mexico vs . South Africa ! It ’ s going to be a really good match ! Both teams have a very strong offense and have skilled players . I think that South Africa will probably dominate the first half since they are the host country , and all . +I have no idea what you ’ re talking about . The only sporting event we watch at home is the Super Bowl . +This is bigger than the Super Bowl , man ! Teams from 32 countries compete against each other every four years and fight to win that trophy . They first start in a group stage with bigger groups , each group having 4 teams . The top 2 teams pass on to an elimination stage before going on to the quarter final sand semifinals . +Sounds interesting , but soccer doesn ’ t really appeal to me . +Are you kidding ? Over seven hundred million people watched the final match of the World Cup ! It ’ s a very exciting and nerve wracking sport ! Each nation is cheering on their team , hoping they will become the next champion . So far Brazil is the team with the most titles under their belt ; they ’ re really good ! +All I know about soccer is that you can ’ t use your hands and that players are always falling down , trying to get a free kick or penalty kick . It seems like a sissy sport to me ! +Whatever dude , I ’ m going to go watch the opening match . +We have absolute proof that you committed the crime . +That's absolutely ridiculous ! +Where can I get the information , Kate ? +Ask John . He is sure to know about it . +Why ? +He has a finger in the pie . +That was a tough question . How did you get it right ? +I just took a shot in the dark . +There ’ s a letter here for you . +Let me see it . +What ’ s the letter about ? +It ’ s a letter from NYU . +Tell me what it says ! +I didn ’ t get in . +You ’ re lying . +I ’ m not lying . +Are you upset ? +I had high hopes for NYU . +I ’ m sorry you didn ’ t get accepted . +Hopefully , I ’ ll get accepted to UCLA . +The final examination will be held at the end of this month . Have you made good preparation ? +Sure . I've reviewed all the lessons I have learned this academic year . +Are you sure you can do well this year ? +I am 100 % certain . +According to what you did last time , I have my doubts . +I am sure I can get a 95 this time . +What ? How could you forget to reserve the concert tickets ? +I'm sorry . I forget all about it . +How could you ? I reminded you just this morning . +It's leap my mind . I really feel terrible about it . +I have been looking forward to this performance all month . +I'm really sorry I let you down . I'll make it up to you somehow . +Did you hear what happened to Mike last night ? +No , what ? +Well , apparently he had too much to drink and got into some kind of trouble . Typical , isn't it ? +Oh , no . What kind of trouble ? +Well , I don't know the details , but ... +Did you hear ? The state is thinking of legalizing gambling in our city ! Soon we are gonna have amazing hotels and casinos here which will be good for our business ! +Are you serious ? Gambling is a vice industry built on deception and fed by the intentional exploitation of human weakness for the sole purpose of monetary gain ! It disgusts me . +What are you talking about ? How does it exploit people ? +Well , to begin with , Gambling is addictive , ruins marriages , destroys families and bankrupts communities . Once you are addicted it is very difficult to stop . People have lost their houses , cars and been left out on the street after becoming addicted . Secondly , it exploits because men become addicted to gambling most often because of the action and risk . Women gamble to escape , and senior citizens will start gambling for the social interaction . Underage gamblers often start gambling on sports with friends and then illegal bookies . +Geez ! Now that I think about it , maybe legalizing gambling isn ’ t such a good idea ! Although , I have been to Las Vegas , and I didn ’ t become addicted or anything like that . +You cannot predict who will become addicted to gambling . Now excuse me , I have a protest rally to organize ! +I'm tired of you always wearing my clothing ! +Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black ? You're wearing my pants right now ! +I ’ m sure it will be wet when we arrive . +Yes . I dare say it will be . +It will be Sunday so I expected everything will be closed . +No . I don ’ t think that ’ s possible . Some places are sure to be open . +But the bank should be closed so we shouldn't to be able to get any money . +Mmm , you may be right . +Do you think we ’ ll need our overcoats ? +No . We couldn ’ t possibly . +Why not ? +It will be summer . So it will be hot . +Is that very likely in England ? +Yes . It could happen . +Let's do something really nice for our family this Christmas . +What did you have in mind ? +I don't know yet . +I just know I want to get out of the mindless gift trap . +I know what you mean . +I want to give a gift that is really meaningful . +Or do something that shows we have spent time thinking about them . +Or what only we are able to give them . +Uh ... that's Greek to me . +That means they have tapered legs . +Well , mine are baggy . They're the kind of pants you can lounge around in . +Mine are , too . +So maybe we shouldn't go out after all . +Yeah . Let's just lounge around ! +Thanks . Sometimes talking with a friend is a great way to get over something . Do you mind if I vent a little bit ? +Of course not . If you're feeling bad and want to let your emotions out , you can just say whatever you want to me . +Great , because I am really mad at William . I mean , what kind of an idiot wouldn't be able to appreciate a smart , beautiful woman like me ? Anybody who would be friends with that guy has to be really dumb . +Uh , A ... you know I'm friends with William . +Oh right ... present company excluded , of course ! +Mary is really a diligent girl . +What do you mean ? +She learns to speak Latin by osmosis within three months . +She is really something . +Hello , this is David . +Hi David , this is Marge . Can you meet me after work for a few minutes ? +Sure ! How about the coffee shop right across the street from my office ? +That will work . +Does five thirty work for you ? +That will be fine . What I have to show you will only take a few minutes of your time . +Is it the plans for my new house ? +Yes . I just need to double check a few details with you . +I feel like going for a drink , it's been a long day . +Great idea ! Peter , I could use the drink . +How about the new bar across road ? +Sounds good . The food there is fantastic too . +I agree , I had lunch there last week . +Excellent ! That sounds like a plan . +I have an idea for Christmas this year . +What is it ? +Let's not exchange any gifts at all . +You big scrooge ! +Hear me out . We can pool the money and give it to a family who could really use it ! +But you may have some trouble convincing the kids . +Actual 1y , it was their idea first . +Now we know that they realize the real meaning of Christmas . +Do you know anything about Dr . Miller's classes ? +Yes . Are you in his class ? +I'm thinking of taking his class next semester . +He really knew his stuff , but he graded hard . Would that be OK ? +Yes , I really need someone who is really good . +I didn't find it overwhelming to earn a good grade if you work at it . Can you do that ? +Maybe , but I'm not sure . +Man , this guy was so funny when he was teaching . I like that , don't you ? +No , that stuff isn't important to me . +Did you know that he is a fairly new teacher and very current in his field ? +I don't care about any of that . +We all are looking for different things in an instructor . I hope I've helped you . +Hey , Ben ... did you catch the game last night ? +Uh ... what game ? +Baltimore defeated Texas by 17 points ! +Um ... and what sport are we talking about here ? +Football of course ! +Oh ... football . Football is cool . I usually try to catch the World Cup finals . +No , I'm talking about American football . The World Cup is soccer . +Oh , I understand . I can't say I'm a big fan . I'm from China , and football doesn't have a really big following over there . +So Chinese people prefer soccer or basketball ? +Yes , I think so . But to be perfectly honest , I'm not really a sports nut.When I was in high school I played on the school volleyball team . Are you a diehard football fan ? +Oh , certainly . I wouldn't miss a game for the world . My girlfriend says I have an addiction . And actually , if I had to choose between her and my games ... I'd probably pick football . +It seems Americans are very passionate about sports . Is this just a part of your culture ? +Oh , yeah ! I think the love of sports starts when kids are very young . Americans come from many different backgrounds so I guess sports are something we can all enjoy together . +Julia , what's the weather forecast for tomorrow ? +It says a storm may come tomorrow . +Oh ! I hate rainy days ! +Me , too . I'm always in low spirits when it rains . Are you going out tomorrow ? +Yes . I have to drive to Washington D . C . +What bad luck ! +Yeah ! But you know sometimes the weather forecast is not correct . Maybe tomorrow is a clear day . Who knows ? +Yeah , maybe you are right ! +Where would you like to have your dinner ? +I don't care as long as it's a Chinese restaurant . +You don't like Western food ? +I really find Chinese dishes more to my taste . +Thanks for offering to give me a lift . I'm looking forward to this party , but I didn't want to go alone . +Don't mention it . It's my pleasure . Have you been to one of these large , sit-down dinner parties since you got to New Haven ? +No , this is my first . Last week I went to a cookout 5 for new professors at Dean Barksdale's home . I took a taxi because I didn't want to be late . But I was the first one there . +I'll bet you were a little embarrassed . +You're right . The invitation said two to seven . I was there at two o'clock , but most people didn't arrive until three or four . They didn't start cooking until five o ’ clock . +Cookouts often start slowly . A two o'clock start means you arrive any time after two . +Thanks for telling me this . +I was late getting back from the mall , but I'm hurrying . +Why are you in such a hurry ? They said , Dinner at eight , and it's only seven-fifteen . I don't want to be the first one there again . +Don't worry . We won't be the first . +That ’ s really a let-down . +Yeah . He really does let me down . +But that should not be the reason for you to lose heart . +I ’ m at the end of tether . I run out of ideas . +Some people are always closing their handsets , so it's difficult to inform them . +Why not send them short messages ? +Can short messages reach them ? +Short messages will be kept in the short messages center . Once they open the handsets they will receive them , which is better than you can't find them . +Why haven't I thought of this skill ? +I use short messages quite a lot . If it's not too complicated I will send a short message , which can save much phone charge . +I am informed that many people used short messages to pay a New Year call , and only on the Spring Festival it amounted to 1 billion this year , didn't it ? +I almost can't live without messages , from which I learn about weather forecasts and stock quotations . +Hey , sorry to be late . +What happened to you last night ? You didn ’ t show up . +My mother was ill . I had to look after her . +I ’ m so sorry to hear that . +Hi ! How are you going ? +Fine , thank you . How are you doing this morning ? +Not bad . How about you ? Haven't seen you for a long time . +Yes . I've been to New York . I got back only yesterday . +Did you enjoy yourself ? +Very much . New York is such a nice place . Shall I show you some photographs ? +Thanks , I like looking at photographs . How nice ! Oh , I'm afraid I must be going now . I've got an appointment . Have a good day . +You too . I hope to see you soon . Goodbye . +Goodbye . +My goodness ! What happened ? You have blood on your face . +Oh , don't worry . I just killed a pigeon . +How could you have the heart to kill it ? We only have one ! +It spoiled my painting ! +How annoying ! +What's the matter ? +Every time I try to start this program , the computer freezes . +Maybe there's something wrong with the program . +I heard that James was fired because he got a keep back of 20 thousands dollars from a vender . +That ’ s open secret . +But mine could be a lie for his job . +How did you know that ? +A little bird whispered to me . Keep that to yourself . +Who did the stupid thing ? +It must be Kate . +No , I don't think you're right.Kate never does things like that.It must be a naughty boy who did it . +Hello ? +Hi Tina , It's Joe . +Hi Joe . +How's the weather there today ? +It's really cold . It snowed all day and the schools closed early . +What's the temperature ? +It's 30 degrees now . It was even colder this morning . +Have you heard what the weather is going to be like tomorrow ? +I was watching the news a little earlier . They said it's probably going to snow tomorrow . +I really don't like the winter . I wish it were summer . +Me too . How's the weather where you are ? +It's not too bad , but it's pretty cold here too . It was about 45 today and it rained this afternoon . I heard it's going to be a little warmer tomorrow . +Mike promised to help us . +Mike ? How can you trust him to help us ? +Why not ? +He is too unpredictable . He says anything that pops into his head . And then he forgets it all . +Hello , Ann ! Is that you ? +Yes , it is . Hi , Tom ! It's a real surprise to see you here . +It's been a long time ! What's new ? +Nothing much . What about you ? Is everything going well ? +Not bad I guess . I just got back from Hawaii . +How was it ? +I had a good time . You seem to be in a hurry . Don't let me hold you up . +Sorry , I've got a meeting in half an hour . +Ok , I won't keep you then . +Great ! It's good to see you . Goodbye ! +Yes , stay in touch . Bye ! +Give me your email , would you ? +Sure ! It's txyb@gmail.com . +Tom , I've got good news for you . +What is it ? +Haven't you heard that your novel has won The Nobel Prize ? +Really ? I can't believe it . It's like a dream come true . I never expected that I would win The Nobel Prize ! +You did a good job . I'm extremely proud of you . +Thanks for the compliment . +You certainly deserve it . Let's celebrate ! +Tom ! How are you ? We missed you at the party last night . Are you OK ? +I don ’ t know . I didn ’ t really feel like going out . I guess I ’ m feeling a little homesick . +Come on . We ’ Ve been through this already ! Look , I know the adjustment was hard when you first got here , but we agreed that you were gonna try and deal with it . +I was . It ’ s just that the holidays are coming up and I won ’ t be able to home because I can ’ t afford the airfare . I ’ m just longing for some of the comforts of home , like my mom ’ s cooking and being around my family . +Yeah , it can get pretty lonely over the holidays . When I first got here , I ’ d get depressed and nostalgic for anything that reminded me of home . I almost let it get to me , but then I started going out , keeping myself busy and before I knew it , I was used to to it . +I see what you mean , but I ’ m still bummed out . +OK . how does this sound , let ’ s get you suited up and hit the dance club tonight . I hear that an awesome DJ is playing and there will be a lot of pretty single girls there ! +You know , I could really go for that . You don ’ t mind being my wingman for tonight ? +Not at all ! It be fun ! It will be like a boys ’ night out ... well kinda ... +Great ! I must warn you though , whatever happens , don ’ t let me go on a drinking binge . Trust me , it ’ s not a pretty picture ! +There was something wrong with the plane last Thursday . +Which flight ? +Flight 198 . Fortunately , there were few passengers . +How about the passengers ? +Well , all the passengers and crew members landed on their feet finally . +There are some things I miss . But I love Chinese food.And I think the people in Taiwan are really hospitable.Besides , I grew up in Los Angeles , so I'm used to living in crowded places.Why are you going to America ? +I'm going to New York to visit my sister . She is in art school . I've never been to New York before . I'm kind of scared . +Why ? +Well , I know a lot of people have guns there . I think maybe it isn't too safe . +Don't worry about it.Your sister lives there . She probably knows the places in town you shouldn't go.It ' s true there are some dangerous places in big American cities.But if your sister lives there , she must know the city pretty well already . +Yes , I'm not really scared . Maybe only a little . +Don't believe what you see on TV . You will have a good time in New York.What things do you want to see ? +I want to see the museums , and I want to shop a lot . +The museums are excellent . And the shopping ! Well ! I'm sure you'll spend a lot of money there . +Hmm . I hope not . +I'm thirsty . Pull over to that store , I'll buy some drinks . +I'm afraid I can't . Parking is not allowed here . +Oh , that's too bad , Where can you park around here ? +There is a square in front of us . We can park the car there . +Is a shop there ? +I'm not sure , you know I'm not familiar with the city , too . +Do you think I should ask Bob to help ? Will he come ? +No problem . You know him . He ’ s the kind of guy that ’ s always willing to go the extra miles . +That ’ s right . But I have bothered him several times . +I bet he will come . +Could you tell me what university you want to go to , John ? +Pardon ? +What university would you enter ? +University ? Why ? You asked me last year . +Oh , I forget.Sorry . +I went to Harvard University . +Did you ? And what course did you take there ? +God save me ! Is there anything wrong with you ? Didn't I tell you ? +I've not known.Perhaps , I've got a bad memory . +I did a B . A . in economics.Remember ? +Terrific ! B . A . , again and again-B . A . +Did you have a good weekend ? +Well I wanted to go for a picnic but it rained too much . +Oh I see . So what did you do then ? +I washed my car instead . +Ahh . And how about on Sunday ? Did you watch the football ? +No I didn ’ t . I worked in the morning then I played tennis with my husband . +What do you want for your birthday from your parents ? +I don't know . Maybe a pair of new shoes . +Why don't you ask them to buy you a PC ? You will soon use it at college . +That's a dandy idea . Thank you for reminding me . +Your husband is very helpful , isn't he ? +Willing to help , maybe , but not as helpful as you think . +Really ? +Last night he told the children acliff-hangerstory and both of them were scared out of sleep . +Doesn't she have any friends ? +If she has , they must be fair-weather friends . +Such friends are even worse than enemies . +She'd better keep away from them . +Let me get last week's notes . +Yeah , sure , you didn't come to class that day ? +I couldn't come . +Why not ? +I wasn't feeling well . +Here they are . +Thanks a lot ; are these all the notes ? +Oh , no , this is the rest . +Thank you very much . +It's no problem at all . +I wonder if you agree that money is not happiness . +I don't entirely agree with you . +Then how do you explain so many rich people committing suicide ? +Well , that's a thing . +He has worked five years in that bank . +He must be an experienced accountant . +You said it.Let ' s ask him to work in our bank . +Great minds think alike . +Did you pass the test ? +No , I didn't . +I'm sorry to hear that . +I'm really curious . What is it like doing housework all day for a living ? +It's a little like being a mom , only I get paid for it ! +I still think that it is a bitstrange that you like to do that kind of thing . Most women would rather hire a maid . +That's exactly why my business is doing so well ! +How Ay clients do you have already ? +Well , I've been in business for one month now and I have ten clients . +Wow . Too bad I don't have a clue about housework . +If you ever need a job , let me know . I can always train you . +Hey , check out this new game I bought today . +Wow ! It's a trivia game all about the Academy Awards . +I know you love the Oscars . This game has some great questions about all types of movies . +Does it have questions about foreign language films ? There's hardly any American films worth watching . +Yes . In fact , one of the categories is on foreign language films . +Hi , Mr . James , what ’ s the rush ? +The bank closes in 30 minutes and I need to cash a check . +I can lend you some money . +Thanks . But it ’ s necessary for me to buy a TV set . +Can I help you in anyway ? +You can take me to the bank if you want to . +Sure . Let ’ s go . +I am so sorry that I must be off now . My girlfriend told me I must arrive at her home in ten minutes or she will break up with me . +She can cope with it . Don ’ t be such a wimp ! +I ’ m sure that the boy will become nobody when he grows up . +Be careful of what you say , or you ’ ll have to eat humble pie . +Eat humble pie ? Impossible , I ’ Ve never been wrong in judging boys like him . +I've got a complaint about the noise next door . +Yes , it's most irritating . +Some people aren't very considerate . +We're going to do something about it . +Yes , I think so . +We can't put up with it any more . +We'll play the CD loud , is that all right ? +I don't think so . +What should we do ? +Why don't we call them ? +Good idea . +Jim , I heard you ’ Ve bought a new computer . +Yes . Look , it is on my desk . +Your office looks different with a computer . By the way , is it difficult to use a computer ? +Not at all . It ’ s a piece of cake . +A piece of cake ? +Yes . It ’ s easy and convenient to use a computer . But it takes a long time to really master it . +When I was at school , I was quite good at track and field events . I was on the school team for the long jump , 100 and 200 meter sprints and the javelin . +Really ? I was quite good at the hurdles and the discus . +I wish that I were good at the discus , but I could rarely throw it in the right direction ! I was awful . With the hurdles , I could never jump over them ! +I thought you were good at the high jump ! +No , I was good at the long jump . I liked the sprints best . +Did you ever win any competitions ? +I was regional champion for the 100 and 200 meters . I usually did well in the dong jump competitions , but I couldn ’ t compete with kids from other schools in the javelin . How about you ? +I came second and third a few times in the regional championships , but I never won . Did you ever take part in the national championship for the sprinting events ? +Yes , I did , but I didn ’ t do very well . I made the final in both events , but came last . At least I made the final . I was very pleased with that . +May I have an appointment with you tonight ? +Very sorry , I am occupied tonight . What about tomorrow night ? +OK . where and when ? +7:00 in my staying hotel . +OK , I am going to the hotel to pick you up . See you tomorrow night . +Do you think people still have faith in the government ? +I don ’ t think so . +Why is that ? +The government will never fulfill their promise . +So it is no wonder people cannot keep faith with it . +How do you feel about teaching my friend how to read ? +How old is your friend and why doesn't he know how to read ? +He's 78 and he's a new emigrant from South America and he's never been to school . +Does he even know how to speak English ? +No . But I thought that you could start with reading and then go from there . +That was very thoughtful of you to volunteer me . +Come on . You're great at teaching and I know you will love him . He's adorable ! +Oh , all right . Have him come over here for dinner . But you get to make dinner ! +I've just had an argument with Bob . +Really , who started the argument ? +He did and it's his entire fault . +Did you know it takes two to tango ? +Hi , Stephanie . I hear you have a new job . +Yes , I'm teaching math at Lincoln High School . +So how do you like it ? +Well , the salary is a little low , but the students are nice . How are things with you ? +Not bad . You know I'm an air traffic controller now . +Now that's an exciting job ! ! ! +Yes , but it's very stressful . +Tom and Helen got married at last . +How did you know that ? I heart Tom ’ s father didn ’ t agree with that . +I was invited to attend their wedding . +It ’ s great . Although his father didn ’ t agree with that , Tom went through with it . +How moving love is . +I'm better now . Want to play again ? +I'll let you break the balls this time . +Let's get all the balls out of the pockets . +OK . How much do you want to bet on this game ? +You are crazy . Gambling is against my principles . +Give me a call tomorrow . +Okay . +I really need a new pair of trousers . +Do you ? +Yes , I do . This one is very old now . +They look all right to me . +They ’ re not all right . They ’ re uncomfortable and they look terrible . +All right . All right . +Would you mind if I ask you whether you are married or not ? +To be frank , I was married once , and now I'm single . +Do you mean you got a divorce ? +Yes , my first marriage was a failure . +what did you do over the weekend ? +I went a global warming rally in London . It was fantastic to be around so many people who care about the environment . +do you think there's anything we can do to reverse the damage that's been done already ? +it might not be possible to fix the problems that we've created for ourselves , but there are lots of things we can do to prevent more damages from happening . +like what ? +well , we can use public transport instead of taking our cars for a start . +what else can we do to protect the environment ? +if you do have to drive , you should make sure that your car runs on unleaded petrol . Also , your home should use sources of renewable energy . +how about recycling ? Does that actually help ? +yes . You should take your glass , paper , plastic , cardboard , and tin cans to a recycling center . +what do you think is the biggest worry for our future ? +I think that the issue of greatest concern is having enough sources of clean water for everyone . +I had no idea you were such as environmentalist before ! +to be honest , in order for the earth to continue to be a habitable place , we're all going to have to become more interested in the environment . +What a bother having to climb storeys home every day . +But it's also a sort of exercise and it's good to your health . +I don't care ! +You're complaining again . +What do people usually do on Saint Valentine's Day ? +On that day , boys are supposed to give roses to their sweethearts . +What will the girls do ? +They give chocolate in return . +Excuse me , are you Dr . Smith ? +Yes I am . And you ... +I'm David , Joanna's husband . She has to be at work late today . So she asked me to pick you up here . +So nice to meet you , David . Call me Bill . It's very nice of you to come here . +My pleasure . +Hey , Ann . You don't have a pen , do you ? +Sure , here you go . +Thanks . I don't suppose you have some paper , too . +Of course . There you are . +Thanks so much . I owe you one . +Please excuse me , but I really have to be going . +Yes , of course . It was nice to see you . +It was nice to see you , too . And please give my regards to Mrs.Robbins . +Hey Mark . What are you doing ? +Just watching some TV . +Anything interesting on ? +Not really . Just watching the sports highlight on ESPN . +So I take it you're pretty bored too . +Just killing time until I find something to do . What are you going to do ? +It's Saturday and we are sitting at home doing nothing . What's wrong with us ? +You wanna shoot some hoops ? +I already tried to call up some of the guys , but they are all busy . +Where's your girlfriend ? I thought you were going out with her today . +She's out shopping with her friends . +Let's go to Starbucks and think of something to do then . +Aright . Do you have any cigarettes ? +I only have a couple left . Why don't you pick some up on the way . +Ok . See you there in about 30 minutes . +Aright . See you there . +Bob's sister will go to America . +Why tell me ? She has nothing to do with me ! +I thought you wanted to know more about her . +No , I couldn't care less ! +hey , Tom , did you enjoy your lunch ? +oh , don't mention it . It was terrible . +what ' the matter ? +the food station was as crowded as usual . I waited for 20 minutes for my sandwich , and when I finally got it the chicken was underdone . +I see . You simply can't blame the server for this . +yes , I know . Fast food is so popular in this district . +that's true . +anyway , how was your such , Catherine ? +it was good . I brough lunch from home today . +you did ? I thought you must feel right at home here as we get as many fast food restaurants as you do in America . +well , I personally don't like then because i don't believe they are healthy . +i guess you're right . More often than not , people go there only for convenience . The foods may taste good , but generally speaking , they are high in calories , salt and fat . +yes . I am wondering that you must believe fast food is your lifestyle , don't you ? +you bet . Almost all top brands such as McDonald's and KFC are from America . +well , actually two-thirds of Americans may avoid these places . +seriously ? +yeah , it's hard to believe but true . +What's your favorite TV Program ? +I like variety shows . +I also like variety shows , but sometimes the host lacks a sense of humor . +I prefer a variety show without a host . +What's up ? You look low . +It's my girlfriend . I guess she's playing the army game . +How come ? +I saw her dating with her ex-boyfriend again . +I understand that . But I think maybe it's not a date . You are taking the matter too much to heart . +Maybe . But it still gets on my nerves . +Did you hear about car accident on Spring Road yesterday ? +Yes , I did . I heard that they took both drivers to hospital . One needed surgery . +Yes . I heard he had a few broken bones too , but that the doctors have set the fractures without any problems . +The second driver was luckier . He had a concussion and needed some stitches for his head wound . +Yes . He was released from hospital yesterday evening . The other man could be there for weeks . +I understand that he ’ s connected to a heart monitor and breathing apparatus . His condition can ’ t be very good . +The hospital announced this morning that his condition is poor but stable . What does that mean ? +It means he ’ s really badly injured , but he will almost certainly survive . +His family will be pleased to hear that . They must have been so worried . +Happy New Year , Bill . +Happy New Year , Steven . +Do you have any plans for the New Year holiday ? +My whole family are going to Hainan for visiting . What about you ? +How happy you are ! I have to stay at home to prepare my final exam . +Are you sure Lucy has it bad for you ? If she does , she will certainly bend over backwards for you . But if she doesn't , it would be a job to change her . +I don't know whether she has it bad for me , but she enjoys being with me . +And do you really love her ? +I think I do . I don't think I can be happier with another girl . +A friend of mine is now in the big house . He was caught red-handed for selling cocaine . +That is a deadly risky business . He should have it coming on him . +He must be regretting about having done the business . +I bet he is . He domed his own life . +I met Mark yesterday . He looked blue . +He ’ s been on the gravy train these years , hasn ’ t he ? +It belongs to the past . He lost his job the other day , and he ’ s up a tree now . +It seems that nobody can always expect things to pan out well each time . +Look , the aliens are sending a message to Mulder . This rocks ! +Whoops . That's my pager . I had to get it for work . +You have a pager ? ! That's a little high-tech for you , Stu . Are you sure you know how to use it ? +Well , I know how to turn it off ! +No , you don't ! It's still beeping ! Come on , hand it over and I'll turn it off for you . +I want to meet you . Are you free this evening ? +Well , actually , I'm not free today . Do you have anything urgent ? +No , I just want to meet you . +How about tomorrow instead . +Hmm , that's all right . Shall we meet at the bar near the beach ? +All right . See you then . +Do you have any tissue , Eve ? I've used all mine . +Here . Are you all right ? +Thanks . I am all right . It's just my nose . It must be an allergy . Do you have any aspirin ? I have a terrible headache . +I don't have an aspirin . Perhaps you should go to a doctor . +No , no . I am okay . It's the weather . It was warm and sunny this morning and now it's chilly and raining . +Really , John . I still think you should go to a doctor . You've been sneezing ever since you entered the office this morning . Why don't you take this afternoon off ? If you don't want to see a doctor , at least you can go home and have a good rest . +I can't . I am already behind the schedule . Besides , you know Mr . White . He would think that I was putting him on . +You didn't do anything but sneeze this morning , and you can't do anything this afternoon like this . Gee ! You've got a fever . +Do I ? Oh , no . +Listen to me . You go home now . I will call my doctor and have him go over . Ok ? +What about Mr.White ? +I'll handle him . Now go home . I'll call you after work . +Thanks a lot , Eve . Goodbye . +How about a movie on Sunday , Mum ? +Well , I'm afraid your father's not interested in modern films . +We could find a classical one . +That sounds fine . +You are in love with Mary , right ? +You are pulling my legs ! +I am not blind . Anyone can see that with half an eye . +I'm going on a cruise this summer . +No kidding ? +My brother won a free trip and he's taking me . +You can't beat that . +Where do you spend the weekend ? +We've a country house . +That's nice . +Join us , will you ? +That'd be great ! Thank you . +How's your work ? +Good , thanks . How about you ? +Not bad . But we have lost a few of staff lately . +Why ? +Because of the low salaries . +But your company is huge . Can't they afford to pay the staff decent wages ? +I don't know why . +Why don't you give them a suggestion ? +May be I can have a try . But I'm on vacation now . +Good morning , Linda . How have you been ? +Pretty bad . I ’ Ve had a bad cold for three days and still can ’ t get rid of it . +I ’ m sorry to hear that . Is there anything else I can do ? +No , thanks . +Well , I hope you ’ ll feel better soon . +Thank you for your concern . +Are you going to watch the Indy Five Hundred on TV this weekend ? +I'm not really into racecar driving . +You were when we were in high school . That , and baseball . +Yeah , well , times change . Look at you-you're a father now . You can't say that you haven't changed . +True , but I still have to watch my baseball . The season's in full swing now . +I mean , I know spring training's over , but I'm just not into all that . +Hello ? Is the real Taylor in there ? +How do you feel ? +I'm nervous as can be . +I can't believe it ! I lost . +It looks like you have to buy tickets for us , Jason . And we're not going to see an action movie ! +That's not fair , you got all the easy questions . +I guess that's just the luck of the draw . +I want a rematch . Let's play again . +Sorry , not tonight ! +do you need a hand ? +no , I can handle it . Thanks anyway . +are you sure you don't need any help ? +well , maybe just a little . I can't seem to make it fit . +I swear , the overhead compartments on these planes just keep getting smaller and smaller ! +that's so true . thanks for your help . Are you in the aisle seat in this row ? +yes . What about you ? +I'm in the middle seat . +oh , I guess I'll let you through then . +thanks . sorry for making you get out of your seat again . +that's alright . I notice you have a few newspapers there . Would you mind lending me one ? +no , not at all . Which one would you like--the New York Times or the Guardian ? +I prefer the British paper , but I'll read whatever one you aren't going to read right away . +I was just going to do a little Sudoku while we wait for the plane to take off , so the Guardian is all yours . +thanks a lot . That's really nice of you . Would you like a piece of gum ? +that would be great . thanks . +Are you listening to me , Dan ? +I'm with you , Jane . +What did I just say ? +Well , uh ... I didn't catch the last part . +Just what I thought ! +Man , I ’ m freaking out ! You gotta help me ! +Whoa , whoa , take it easy , relax . Geez , you ’ re sweating like a pig ! What ’ s going on ? +I can ’ t go through with this ! I just can ’ t ! I ’ m not ready for marriage ! What was I thinking ? I ’ m only thirty five years old ! I ’ Ve got my entire life ahead of me , adventures waiting ! I can ’ t settle down yet ! +What are you talking about ? It wasn ’ t more than a month ago that you were rambling on about how you are tired of living the life of a bachelor and how you envy your friends that have a family ! +I know . I know ! +Let ’ s think this through . First of all , you cannot leave Amy at the altar . Not only will she be humiliated and kill you , but she is the woman that you love and the woman of your dreams ! Why would you want to end that or jeopardize it like this ? Second of all , you are just getting cold feet . You know deep down inside that you want to marry her , so cut the crap and do it ! +You ’ re right . I ’ m being crazy ! Ok , I ’ m ready , let ’ s do this ! +Great ! Phew ! That was a close one ! You had me going there for a minute I thought I was gonna have to slap some sense into you . +Hi , why do you look so depressed today , Mike ? +I had a terrible quarrel with my neighbor yesterday . +How come ? +It is a long story . Basically , she thought I had laughed at her while I didn't . +I know everyone suffers when he is misunderstood . But why not take it easy ? +Yeah . It's so nice of you to comfort me . +Who's that over here ? +That's the new teacher . +What do you think of the teacher ? +She's very nice . +What does she teach ? +English , of course . +Is she your teacher ? +Yes . She teaches our class three times a week . +Can she speak Chinese to her students ? +Not very much . +It's a good thing you can speak English ! +The teacher just canceled the test . +Are you kidding ? +Hello ? +Hi Steve . This is Mike . What are you doing ? +Oh , hi . I was just watching TV . +There's nothing to watch right now . +I know . I was watching a re-run . I have nothing to do and I was bored . +Me too . Let's get together and do something . +I'd like to , but I have to meet my parents in an hour for dinner . How about tomorrow ? +Yeah . Let's plan something tomorrow . +Did you hear the weather forecast for tomorrow ? +I think it is going to be the same as today . Clear and sunny . +That's great . We can do something outdoors then . +Are there any special events going on tomorrow ? +Yeah . I think there's a live outdoor concert by the river tomorrow . +Oh yeah . I heard about that too . Let's go check it out . +Do you know what time it starts ? +It starts at one PM . +Let's meet for lunch at eleven thirty and afterwards , we can head over there . +Perfect . I'll see you in front of the apartment at eleven thirty . +Would you go to the bookstore with me ? +It sounds a good idea . Let ’ s go . +Do you know Jeffery has published his second detective novel ? +Yes . I heard about that . And I know you want to buy it , but I ’ m not interested in detective novels . +So what are you interested in ? +Magazines about fashions , such as Cosmo Polian . +I know that magazine . It ’ s very popular . +Yes . I can lend you some . +Thank you . But I ’ m not interested . +When can we expect you for dinner ? Can you come tonight ? +Not tonight . I promised to go to a concert with my sister . +Well ... How about Friday then ? +That sounds fine . +Good . Shall we say seven o'clock ? +I'll be there . You're still a fabulous cook , aren't you ? +That'll be for you to decide . I've got a new dish that I want to try out on you . +I'm ready . I'll look forward to it all Friday ! +I don ’ t understand why you always look so happy , so energetic . It seems like you ’ Ve got good news everyday . +Really ? Do I look happy all the time ? +All I know is you look quite differently from other teachers . +Oh , do you know why ? Actually , it ’ s easy . Because I always exercise . My exercise , I think , is very hard . I often feel very good after conquering these difficulties . I feel alive ! +Oh , I know . I saw you doing pull-ups one time on the campus 5 and some students trying to imitate you . +Yeah , they are doing it for fun . Seldom would people like my exercise . It ’ s difficult and boring . +It ’ s true . Many students do the exercise when they have to . We have P . E . once a week . +But I think Chinese students need to exercise more . Besides exercise will help them learn new things better . Don ’ t students want to have a good memory ? +Of course . I didn ’ t know that . I only know exercise makes bodies stronger . I should take some exercise then . Do you have any suggestions ? +Well , do what you like to do . It can be anything . Jogging , doing aerobics , going bicycling , and playing ping-pong . Absolutely anything . Doing three or more workouts a week is good for you . But remember to do some stretches first . +Oh , I know . Thank you . +Which kind of sport do you like to watch ? +Basketball , football , table tennis . I will watch them on TV . +So you must like NBA game . +Yeah , it is my favorite . Many Chinese people including women and children would like to concern the game . I think they want to see the performance of coming and YiJianLian , the Chinese players in NBA . +What kind of sport do you like to participate in ? +I am good at tennis and skiing . What about you ? +I prefer the indoor sports , such as bowling , badminton and squash . +Moderate exercise is really important for health . ' Life lies in movement . ' +How about playing tennis with me ? +Good idea . I will take the racket . +Good morning , Jerry.How ' s everything ? +Fine , just fine.Thanks . +Doing anything for lunch ? +Well , as a matter of fact , I've got a lunch date with Bob Thomas . +Excuse me . Can you tell me how to get started using these machines ? +Of course . Are you a new member here ? +Yes . +Welcome . My name is Johnson . +Nice to meet you . +Do you have any experience using weights ? +No , I don't . So I need some help . +Well , first it is important to go through a good stretch.You must warm up properly so that you don't hurt yourself on the machines . +Yes , I know that.Derek just led me through the warm up in the aerobics room.So I'm ready , I think . I can start using the machines . +Alright . Great . Then we must get a card for you . +What do you mean--a membership card ? I already have one . +No . Not that . I mean a training card.The card allows you to keep track of how much weight you use on each machine.Here , let me show you . +I'm ready . +Now , you can see that on this card there are all the machines listed.So , when you go through the series of twelve machines , you enter in the number of repetitions you do.And you also enter in the weight at which you set the machine . +I see . So this card helps me to keep track of my progress . +Yes . And it also reminds you what is a suitable weight for each machine.Today , I will go through the machines with you one by one . I will show you how to use them.And we will determine what is a good starting weight for you . +Alright . Great . +So you write your name and member number at the top of the card.And then , after you exercise each time , you file the card here . +Great . Why don't we start on the machines ? +Are you alright ? Can you do more ? +I'm sorry . I know there are still seven machines . But I'm exhausted . +That's okay . Don't worry.It ' s important not to push yourself . Especially not at the beginning . +What can I do though ? I don't know the proper settings for the rest of the machines . +We can just go through them next time . It's no problem . Really.The most important thing is to know your limits.So if you feel burned out now , it is good to stop.Because if you strain a muscle or hurt your back , then you won't be able to exercise for a couple weeks . Right ? +Yes . I suppose it's best to stop . +Don't be afraid . Give it a try . +Okay . +what are you doing ? +I'm just trying to complete today's crossword puzzle . Whenever I get the time , I like to do the crossword puzzles in the paper . +you really like brains that make you think , don't you ? +I guess you could say that . What kind of games do you like ? +I guess the games I like the most are the ones that I'm good at ! +Doesn't everyone ? Which games are those ? +Well , I like to play darts . Whenever I go to a bar , I usually play for a few hours . +Did you play a lot of games when you were little ? +My parents used to love to play checkers and dominoes . We used to have family tournaments every weekend . +Do you still like playing those games ? +Not at all . I never really did , to be honest . What about you ? Did your family used to play games together ? +Everyone in my family really enjoys playing card games . +Some of my friends play cards on the internet . Have you ever tried that ? +No , I prefer to play with people I know . +How about mah-jong ? +It's a popular game with some people , but I've never played it . +I thought everyone in your country were experts at mah-jong ! +I hate to disappoint you , but unlike what most people think , we aren't all exactly the same ! +I didn't like my brother's batting around without doing anything useful . +Maybe he is trying to find a job . When he finds one , everything will be settled . +I hope so . +They got a divorce at last . +It's inevitable . Their love wasbuilt on the sand , and this is why their marriage has landed on the rocks . +You said it . Love but on the sand will soon be on the rocks . +That give us a good lesson . +Do you like traveling , Kathy ? +I like traveling for pleasure to get places for vacation for instance . But I don ’ t like traveling to work , waiting for buses , or ... +Or getting stuck in traffic jams when you ’ re driving . +Exactly . +Can you believe that Susan got married ? +Really ? I remember she said if she would remain single . Is the man very rich ? +No . That ’ s what is surprising me . +You means she didn ’ t marry a rich man . +He ’ s a postman . +I thought she would marry a fortune . +What sort of things do you grow in your garden ? +I grow a variety of things , so that something is in bloom all year round . +When is your garden at its best ? +It looks best in spring , when the plum and cherry blossoms are out . +Good afternoon ! +Good afternoon ! Sit down , please.How are you ? +I'm very well , thank you.How are you ? +Very well too , thank you very much.Isn ' t it a lovely day ? +Yes , it's beautiful , but it's also very hot . +Yes . +What's the weather like in your country ? +Mm ... It's quite warm now . +Where do you live ? +In London.Where do you live ? +Here.Near this school . +Oh , no ! Now I'll be late . +Can I give you a hand ? +Yes , I'd appreciate it if you could drive me downtown . +Sure thing . I've got time . +What a great weekend that was ! +My feelings exactly . +I really enjoy the beach in the summer . +I couldn't agree with you more . +We should come here more often . +You are absolutely right . +I'd like to come back next weekend . +That's exactly the way I feel . +What's this , I wonder ? +I'm not sure.Let me have a look ... It could be a coffee grinder . +A coffee grinder ? +Yes , it must be used for grinding coffee beans . +Oh , that would be very useful . +We've got a new manager in our department . +Oh ? You hoped to get that job , didn't you ? +Yes , I did . +I'm sorry . That's too bad . Who is it ? Who got the job , I mean ? +Someone called Drexler . Carl Drexler . He's been with the company onlytwo years . I've been here longer . And I know more about the job , too +Hmm . Why do you think they gave it to him and not to you ? +Because I'm the wrong sex , of course ! +You mean you didn't get the job because you're a woman ? +Yes , that was probably it ! It isn't fair . +What sort of clothes does he wear ? +A dark suit . White shirt . A tie . Why ? +Perhaps that had something to do with it . +You mean you think I didn't get the job because I come to work in jeansand a sweater ? +It's possible , isn't it ? +Do you really think I should wear different clothes ? +Well . . . perhaps you should think about it . +Why should I wear a skirt ? Or a dress ? +I'm not saying you should . I'm saying you should think about it . That's all ! +Why should I do that ? I'm good at my job ! That's the only important thing ! +Hmm . Perhaps it should be the only important thing . But it isn't . Not in this company . +It's a sunny day , isn't it ? +Yes , it is . I'm Jennifer . Nice to meet you . +My name is David . Nice to meet you , too . +Are you American ? +No , I'm a Britisher . Where do you come from ? +I come from America . Are you a freshman ? +Yes . What about you ? +Me , too . +Great . Maybe we can study and play games together . I think we can be good friends . +Yeah . Anytime . +You keep bowling spares but no strike . +I don't know why , but I think there's something wrong with my hands . I couldn't seem to be able to control it on the first ball . +I don't think it was the problem with your hands , you did several excellent spares . You have no problem with your hands . +Then why couldn't I get strike on the first ball ? +The problem is you are too nervous . You want to have a strike so much , so you deliver the ball too hard . And when it comes to the I second roll , there's no pressure . That's why you could bowl all those spares . +Really ? I will try again . +Nice to see you , Patrick . +Bob ! I hear your team won the match . +Yeah . All of us tried our best . +Congratulations ! +Thanks . +Are you free on the thirteenth in the afternoon ? +No I'm afraid not . I'm meeting Ruth then . How about the fourteenth in the morning ? +I'm sorry . I'm attending a meeting at the Hilton then . +What about the next day ? +No . I'm busy then too . I'm meeting Dorothy Heath at North Bridge Road . Are you free on Thursday afternoon ? +Yes , I think I am . Let's meet for lunch at mouth restaurant . +Good idea ! Is two o'clock okay ? +That's fine . See you there ! +Did you enjoy the movie ? +Oh , it's really a drag . +Sorry to hear that . I think it's even better than On the Golden pond . +Hell with it ! Nobody will give it an Academy award ! +Hi Jackie . You don't look too well . What's going on ? +It's nothing . I'm just a little stressed out . +Why ? What's stressing you out ? +School . Since I was working part time , I had a difficult time keeping up with class . Now that we have exams coming up , I'm totally freaking out . +The best thing to do is study as much as you can . I'm sure you'll do alright . +I hope so . I guess I won't be sleeping for the next 3 days . That's what it'll take . +I have to study for an exam too . Why don't we study together . We can encourage each other . +That will be great . +The new webpage design is much more effective than before . I feel confident it will rope in a lot more business because of its user-friendly format . +Why do you think the new page is so much better than the old page ? I thought the old page wasn't half bad ... +The old page was okay , alright , but there wasn't a big influence in our sales volume , because the site wasn't developed with an eye towards the marketing aspect . Now it's different . We got our marketing department team in on the action , and the results are smashing ... +What changes were made from the old page to the new page ? +First , the visitors to the site are encouraged to give their contact information . They can sign up for a free monthly drawing . Once we've got their info , it goes into a database for future marketing mailers and advertising targeting . Also , there are clear links to descriptions of our products and services , so as to give confidence to new customers . We also added a specific area for on-line customer service ... So far we've gotten a ton of positive feedback ... +Great ! +Did you know that drinking beer helps you sing better ? +Are you sure ? How do you know ? +Well , usually people think I'm a terrible singer , but after we all have a few beers , they say I sound a lot better ! +Well , I heard that if you drink enough beer , you can speak foreign languages better ... +Pardon me . Could you please pass me the tissue ? +Sure , here you are . +Thanks , I didn't expect the dish to be so spicy . Are you ok ? +Yeah , I think the food is alright , it's not too spicy though it's a little salty for me . But you are Chinese , you should have known better . +Well , not every Chinese can handle spicy food in the way people from Sichuan and Guizhou provinces can . Back where I come from , people don't eat a lot of papers and chilies . +Oh , I see how this food can be really hard for you . I can sympathize with that . I stayed in Sichuan for a year . The food was difficult at the beginning . Every dish was so spicy . After a while though , I got used to the taste , and now I won't consider anything a real dish if it isn't spicy . +Yeah , you can increase you tolerance for spicy food , but so far , I haven't had the need or the opportunity . Every time I try spicy food , it is a total disaster for my nose and eyes . +I completely understand . I didn't intend on liking spicy food at first either , but when you have no other choices , you've got to adapt . +Yeah , I guess that's a typical example of ' when in Rome , do as the Romans do . ' +Exactly . +Tom , Christmas Day is coming . Merry Christmas to you . +Thank you . And a merry Christmas to you ! +Could you lend your bike to me for several days ? +How long would you like to keep it ? +Till the end of the week . +Yes , that'd be all right . +Don't you feel a little strange taking the place of your old boss after he was demoted ? +Yes , at first I felt very awkward . After Bill was demoted and then resigned , it was kind of like somebody died ! I mean the atmosphere in the office was like a funeral parlor or something . And then I was afraid people would look at me as a traitor for filling in his spot when the management asked me to ... +Did they mutiny ? +Thankful , no . I guess everyone understands the opportunity I had to step into a leadership role is so great for my career . I'm really moving up the ladder now that I'm considered a supervisor . After a couple weeks , it was like nothing happened . +It is a really good chance for you to get more exposure at work . supervisors get to take the credit for all the hard work of the people under them . +Yeah , and they also take the blame , that's what happened to my old boss ... +How about a game of tennis ? +Okay . Loser has to take out the trash for a month . +It's a deal . +See you in the court . +Are you feeling better today , Bill ? +Well , it's hard to say . I cough a lot in the evening . +You'd better give up smoking . It's bad for your health . +You're right , but you know , it's hard to give up an old habit . +But you should make up your mind first . +You know , I often have to work till late at night . I need something to keep me awake . +Why don't you go to bed and get up early ? You'll have the same time for work . +Thank you for your advice ! I'll try it . +Hi , John , how was your vacation ? +Awesome , we went to Australia and New Zealand . +That must have been wonderful . Do anything interesting ? +Well , we went bungee jumping when we were in Australia . +Wow ! Isn ’ t that dangerous ? +A little , but the rush was worth it . +Tell me about it . +We jumped off a bridge and fell 500 feet before the bungee cord caught us . +500 feet ! I would never be able to do that . +Yeah , It was scary , but exhilarating . +What did her boss say to you ? +He asked me to beef up in the work . +Yeah . You look so unhappy recently . What ’ s the matter . +Nothing , thanks . I am just not in the mood these days . +Hi , Tina , it's Joe . +Hi , Joe . +What's the weather like there today ? +It's really cold . It snowed all day and the school closed early . +What's the temperature ? +It's 20 degrees below zero now . It was even colder this morning . +Have you heard what the weather is going to be like tomorrow ? +I was watching the news a little earlier . They said it's probably going to snow tomorrow . +I really don't like the winter . I wish it were summer . +Me too . How's the weather where you are ? +It's not too bad , but it's pretty cold here too . I heard it's going to be a little warmer tomorrow . +Mom , I just finished my paper . Can you proofread it before I hand it in ? +Sure , let ’ s take a look . Sweetie , this is terrific . Your ideas are so original . +Thanks . +I can tell you worked hard on it . +I really did ! I started thinking about what I wanted to say three weeks ago . +Well , it was definitely worth all the time . +Let ’ s just hope my teacher agrees . +How about doing shopping this weekend ? +What're you going to buy ? +Sportshoes.Will you go with me ? +OK . +Merry Christmas ! +Huh ? +I said Merry Christmas ! Don't you know that Christmas is almost here ? +It is ? Oh , that's nice . +Huh ? Didn't you know ? Aren't you excited ? +Actually , I'd forgotten about it . +Forgotten about it ? How could you ? +Because I'm not Christian , I'm Jewish . +Oh , I'm sorry . I didn't know . +It's all right . There are so many Christians in America that everybody takes it for granted that I'm Christian . +I guess so . So what do you do around this time of year ? +Well , I'll celebrate Hanukah soon , but that's not as important to us as Christmas is to you . Mainly I'll just enjoy the holiday break . +Well , would you be horribly offended if I invited you to a Christmas party at my house ? +Not at all . A party is a party . I'll be happy to come . +It's all over . I'm bankrupt . +Don't worry . Everything will be fine . +Bill , Happy Halloween ! +Happy Halloween ! What creature are you going to dress up as ? +I will dress up as a vampire with big fangs . +May I have a look at your costume ? +Sure . Wait a moment . ( Several minutes later ) Here you are . +I like your black clothes and your fangs are cool . +I will bite many beautiful girls on the neck tonight . Maybe I will suck their blood . +Haha . Wish you good luck . +I think that ’ s settled . +I'm tired of your cut-and-dried opinions . Who do you think you are ! +How dare you speak to me like this . +Why not ? +Hey , Karen . Look like you got some sun this weekend . +Yeah ? I guess so . I spent the weekend at beach . +That ’ s great . Where did you stay ? +Some friends of my parents live out there , and they invited me there . +So , what did you do out there ? I mean besides bask in the sun , obviously . +I jogged up and down the beach and played volleyball . You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand . I couldn ’ t get through a whole game before I had to sit down . +Not to mention cooler . Did you go swimming ? +I wanted to , but the water is too cold , and I just wetted in up to my knees . +It all sounds so relaxing . I wish I could get away to the beach like that . +It looks like you could use it . Don ’ t tell me you spent the weekend in the library again . +OK class , so today we are going to continue with our anatomy class , today we will review everything we have learned . Can anyone tell me what the first major organ is ? +The brain ! +That's right , the brain ! It serves as a control center for the body , handling the processes of the central nervous system as well as cognition . Then what major organ is in our chest ? +The heart ! +Very good ! It pumps blood throughout the body , using the circulatory system such as blood vessels and veins . Now let's not forget that our lungs provide oxygen to our heart and body to keep us alive ! Now what about the organs that help us digest food ? +The stomach and intestines ! +Very good ! Let's not forget that the stomach is the one that breaks down our food and our intestines process that food and then expel the waste . Are we forgetting anything ? +Yeah ! Our kidneys , liver and bladder ! +Oh yes , you are right . Very important organs indeed . +So what do these organs do , teacher ? +Well , mumm , they ... Time for a break ! We can talk about it when you get back . +It's not good for business recently . +Not good for business ? I don't see eye to eye with you.The new policy offers new opportunities . +Too risky anyway.It ' s necessary to look before you leap . +Do you know how to play go ? +It's easy . All you have to do is to use your pieces to surround the opponent's pieces and then take over all of his territory . +But I heard it is very difficult to play . +It's easier said than done . When you actually play , it can be very frustrating . +Linda ? Is that you ? I haven't seen you in ages ! +Hi George ! It's good to see you ! +What have you been up to ? +I just opened up my own business not long ago . +Good for you ! What are you doing ? +I'm a professional party planner here in the city . I do catering and all that . +I knew some day I would be able to profit from your love of fun ! +Well , I don't know about the profit part yet . But I am really having fun ! +So , what ’ s new in the kitchen ? That refrigerator is new , isn ’ t it ? +Yes . I needed a large one . Before , I had a separate refrigerator and freezer , but this has both combined into one . +That ’ s usual nowadays . You ’ Ve added a few shelves too . +Yes . You know I ’ Ve been cooking more kind of food recently and I needed some extra space for spices and ingredients . +Did you buy new cupboards too ? +No , I didn ’ t . I gave them a really good clean , so they just look new . The worktop was in poor condition , so I had a new one added . +I see that you have bought several new pots and pans and utensils . +Yes , I have . I need them to help me with these new dished I ’ m trying to make . I need a little more practice before I invite guests over . +Looking at the spice rack , I ’ d say you ’ Ve been learning how to make asian food . +Yes . I ’ Ve always likes Indian and thai food , so I ’ Ve been trying to make dishes from those countries . I ’ m pretty good at making curries now , but I still need practice at making thai food . +Both kinds of food are becoming popular.Nowadays , it ’ s very easy to pick up the ingredients at the supermarket . +I hope you can stay for dinner . I need a guinea pig ! +How do you like skiing , Pat ? +I love it . All my life I wanted to learn to ski . Finally I took lessons last year . +I suppose skiing is easy for you . +No , quite the opposite . I thought I'd never stop falling down . Then all of a sudden I started skiing much better . +I see . Do you ski often ? +Every chance I get . On weekends I ski all day long . Sometimes I even ski at night . +That sounds great . +Oh , yes . The ski slopes are well lit . It's really nice to ski at night . Why don't you learn to ski ? +Not on your life ! I know I'd break my leg +Don't be so frightened . It's just a skill . +Hi , Dave . This is Zina . +Zina ? Zina the Snake ? +I got your e-mail a couple of months back . +Yeah ? Which one was that ? +The one that said , You're a creep . From me you won't hear another peep . I hope you wreck your jeep . +Right . That one . Did it work ? +Hello , my name is Bill Martin and we have a reservation for party tonight . +Yes , what can I do for you ? +I need to cancel that . We have had a last minute change of plans . +I see . Would you like me to reschedule you for another night ? +OK , we will let you know as early as possible . By the way , will we be able to get a refund on this cancellation ? +Certainly . +Thank you very much . +That's all right . I hope we can help you at some other time . Good-bye . +Good-bye . +Can I use your laptop for a while ? +Sure , go ahead . +Oh , isn't your computer Wi-Fi capable ? +Yes , it is . You want go online ? there are no wi-fi hotspots around . +Oh my , no internet access is killing me . +Can't you wait till you get home ? then you can surf the internet using the broadband , wireless connection or whatever you like . +No , I'm not feeling myself . I just want to check my emails , visit my favorite websites and chat with my friends . +Now I see , you must be suffering from discomgoogolation . +What does that mean ? there's nothing wrong with me . +Well , the term ' discomgoogolation ' comes from ' discombobulate ' and ' google ' . Because floods of information are just a mouse click away , net users are very likely to become addicted to the web . +That's alright . I just can't bear losing track of all the latest information . It almost drives me crazy . +Then , you're probably addicted . +Sally , I ’ m tired of this Western food . I really miss my mother ’ s Sichuan cooking . +I ’ m sure you do miss that type of cooking . But can ’ t you try to get used to Western food ? +I have tried . But Americans like butter , bread , sugar , and cream too much . +I suppose you ’ re right , Lee . Maybe that ’ s why so many Westerners are overweight . +It ’ s interesting that Americans work very hard at their jobs , do not take naps during the day , and yet they can be so heavy . +You see , because we are often busy working , we eat too much fast food , and that food is very fattening . +Tell me something about your Valentine's Day . +Ok , on that day , boys usually give roses to the sweet hearts and girls give them chocolate to return . +So romantic . Young people must have lot of fun . +Yeah , that is the holiday is hot , isn't it ? +What will happen to the children if you break up ? +That's a relief for me and a misery for the children . +Why don't you make up with John . +It's too late . +Have you ever been to Japan ? I'm going in the fall . +Yeah , I've been there twice . +Really ? Tell me about it . What's it like ? +Oh , it's fantastic . +Where did you go ? +On my first trip I went to Tokyo , and on my second trip I visited Kyoto . +What did you think of Tokyo ? +Very big and exciting , but very crowded , too . +Yeah . I've seen pictures of the crowds ! +And the restaurant are excellent ... but they're kind of expensive . +And how about Kyoto ? +Kyoto is lovely . It's full of beautiful old temples and gardens.It ' s a very historic city . +How was the weather ? +I was in Tokyo in August , and it was really hot and humid . I went to Kyoto in October.It was hot and sunny , but there was no humidity . +Sounds perfect . I can't wait ! +Where do you live now ? +I live in Haitian District where there are lot of universities . +Which street do you live on ? +I live at No . 50 Xingu Street . +Who did the stupid thing ? +Maybe it was Dick . +I don't think so . Dick has been on the ball and never does things like that . +Then it must be a naughty boy who did it . +Can I help you ? +Yes . I'd like to borrow these books . +Just a second . I'll see if I can find them for you . +Thanks . +Here you are . You must return them within a month . +What happens if I'm not finished with them in a month ? +You can come in and renew them unless someone else has reserved them . +OK.Thank you very much for your trouble . +No trouble at all . So long . +Hi Sam , would you like to come for a curry with us next Friday ? +Sure , I love curry . Who else is coming ? +Jane , Susan , Pete and two colleagues of mine from work . +I have no plans for Friday , so curry would be great . Which restaurant do you have in mind ? +Susan suggested the one on Main Street . She says it is very good . +Which one is that ? +You know , the one just on the corner with Oxford Street . There is a large pharmacy next door . +Oh yes , I know which one you mean . I have never been there , but I looked at their menu once and it did look good . +Okay then . I think we will all meet outside ? +What time ? +At 8 o'clock . I will make the reservation . +That's good . See you on Friday . +Did you have a part-time job when you were still in school ? +No , I was way too busy studying all the time . How about you ? +Yeah , I worked about twenty hours a week in a pizza restaurant . +What was that like ? +It was always very busy there . +What did you do ? +I stood behind the register and took pizza orders . +Did you get any perks on the job ? +Yeah , I got to eat as much pizza as I could for free . +Did you like the play ? +Not really . It's a dull one , and the production isn't satisfactory , either . +You're absolutely right . The acting could be better . +To be fair , though , both the costumes and scenery are marvelous . +I need some books on hardware . +There's many books here.What about these ? +Great ! They're the very books I want.May I borrow two books ? +Sure.But you can only keep them for a week . +I see.Thank you . +I don ’ t know why I married him . +What is the matter ? +He never see eye to eye with me . +That is to say , love is blind . +Why is the long face ? +I'm getting sick of work man . I can't take the political bull in the company any more . +Did you just get your review or something ? +Yeah , but that's not why I am upset . I just found out another guy got a promotion . He doesn't know how to do anything . He sits there and kisses the managers butt all day long . +That sucks . +I'm just pissed that management can't see behind his smooth talking lies . +Look on the bright side . At least you have a job . +Yeah . I shouldn't stress about this anymore . It's not like I can do anything about it . +Exactly . Instead , we should have some drinks tonight . +How about a cold bottle of beer . +Now you're talking . +You're so witty ... +So why is the face tilted to the right ? +This watch is supposed to be worn on your left hand . +So it's not as convenient for left-handed people ? +It's better for right-handed people like me . See , I don't even have to move my arm to see the time . +I'm left-handed . You bought that watch so that I won't borrow it ... +Bingo ! +Is there any ticket left for tonight's concert ? +I am sorry , sir.All the tickets have been sold out . +What a shame . Will there be the same performance tomorrow evening ? +Sorry , sir . The only tickets of the same performance available are on 21st . +That's fine . I want 2 tickets . +Does Tom drink a lot ? +Yes , he does . He of ten has had one to many . But I advised him not to drink too much , he just boasted that he had hollow legs and nobody had ever drunk him under the table . +That's a problem . He has sort of Dutch courage and that will egg him on in doing anything . +Do you offer a course in business management ? +Yes , we do . +How many nights a week is it ? +It's 3 nights a week , Monday , Tuesday and Thursday . +And how long does the course last ? +It lasts for 9 months . +When does it start ? +The next beginning class starts on October 25th . +What time is the class ? +From 7 to 9 o'clock . +How much does it cost ? +It costs 125 dollars a month . +Yes , that's all right . I want to enroll in the course . +Thank you , please fill out this form for us . +Do you want me to fill it out now ? +Yes , please . We need a record of you education and your work experiences . +How many passengers are there aboard the ship ? +Seventy-six , I think . +What ’ s your schedule like this year ? +Pretty busy . I have to pick up a lot of credits this year . +What ’ s your major ? +I ’ m majoring in French literature . +Oh , don ’ t you have to take that class on 18th century poetry ? It ’ s really difficult . I hear the students in that class have to write a paper 100 pages long . +That ’ s right . We got the assignment last week . +When is it due ? +Next Monday ! +Remind me never to sign up for that course ! +Okay , next question . If Eric asked you out on a date , what would you say ? +Duh ! I would say yes ! Eric is the most popular kid in school ! Okay , my turn . What would you do if you won the lottery ? +Let ’ s see ... If I won the lottery , I would buy two tickets for a trip around the world . +If you buy me a ticket I will go with you for sure ! +My dad will freak out if I even mention a trip like that ! +Alright this is a good one . What would your mom say if you told her you are going to get married ? +If I told her that , she would faint and have me committed ! +Something wrong ? +Yes . My car is having problems . +What's wrong ? +It won't start . +Do you want me to take a look ? +No , thank you . I think I can handle it . +Well , if you change your mind , let me know . +I will . Thanks . That's sweet of you . +No problem . +I might need some tools though . Do you know where I can get some ? +Sure . I have all kinds of tools . Just ask . I ’ ll be happy to get them for you . +Thanks . That would be very helpful . +Anything for you . Seriously , I don ’ t mind helping . +OK . If you really insist , I could always use the company . +I've been standing here since half past seven . Where on earth have you been ? +I'm terribly sorry I'm late . I just couldn't help it . +It's really very easy saying you're sorry . +Look , just give me a chance . I can explain it . +Dalian is a beautiful city . Do you agree ? +I suppose I do . +The climate here is pleasant . +They use said it +This city is really comfortable to living . +It sure is +No other city can match it . It's heaven . +Well , if you live in other as long enough you love them just as much . +Maybe . +That's for sure . +Do you know that Mary an Ben have already separated ? +Yeah , I know . +I didn ’ t know it until yesterday . I put my foot into it , and was even stupid enough to ask when they would get married . +Alice , your father is amazing . He ’ s 90 years old and he lives alone in that big house . +I know . He doesn ’ t like to ask anyone for help . My dad insists on paying his own bills and taking care of himself ! +That sounds like my Grandmother . She was always stubbornly independent . +It seems that folks like my father and your grandmother are determined to be on their own . +They see their independence as a kind of character strength . +Sometimes they are too independent . +How are you making out ? +I'm doing fine.Don ' t mind me.It ' s a wonderful birthday party.Everyone is enjoying himself . +I hope so . Thank you again for your delightful gift . +Don't mention it . +Happy Birthday , Mary ! +Thank you . +Here is a gift for you . I hope you like it . +What a lovely dog ! How did you know I love this ? +I had my own ways of finding out . It's a secret . You look so beautiful today . Your new shirt goes well with your skirt . +Maybe you don't believe it , but it was made by my grandmother . +Really ? It looks so nice . +Thank you . Please have a cup of tea . +All right . +How about some fish ? +No , thanks . I've had enough . Now , Mary , before you blow out the birthday candles , you have to make a wish . After that , you may cut the cake . +OK , let me make a wish ... Do you want a big piece of cake ? +No , just a small one . Next let's sing ' Happy Birthday ' to Mary . +It is very kind of you . I'm so moved by you . +How did you meet your girlfriend ? +I met Amanda through a friend . +That's great . Did you start dating right after you met , or did you become friends first ? +We started dating right away . +Is there anything available for tonight ? +There are some seats in the rear mezzanine . +Isn't there anything else available ? +No , the show is almost sold out . +I haven't seen your father in like 5 years . How is he doing ? +He's not doing too well . +Why ? What's wrong ? +About a year ago , he started feeling weak all the time . +Is it due to old age or is he sick . +Maybe a little of both . The doctor's can't point out anything specifically . I think it is because he didn't take care of himself during his youth . +That makes sense . It's important to take care of your health early in life . +That's what my father tells me almost everyday . +Well , I hope he starts feeling better . Say hi to him for me . +Thanks . I'll let him know . +Wedding rings ! +Oh , no ... +Aren't they cool ? I like the settings . +Jen , is there someone you're not telling me about ? +No . I just like looking at wedding rings , OK ? +Women are such dreamers . +These are specially designed for the year 2000 ! +Hurry up , get in . +I ’ m in , let ’ s go ! +OK , make a left here . . . no wait , I meant make a right . Come on , speed up ! +Geez ! What ’ s the rush ? +Don ’ t worry about it , just drive . Oh , no , the light is about to change . . . step on it ! +Are you nuts ! I ’ m not going to run a red light ! +Whatever . Just turn right here . . . . The freeway will be packed at this hour . . . . let ’ s take a side street.Go on ! Get out of our way ! Move , move ! +What ’ s your problem ! Geez . Having a fit is not going to help ! +Here , I know a short cut ... just go down here , and we ’ ll cut though Ashburn Heights . Let ’ s go , let ’ s go ! Watch out for that lady ! +I ’ m going as fast as I can ! +Yes ! We made it . 5:58 , just before the library closes . +You ’ re such a geek ! +I've heard so much about Japan . Is it a beautiful country ? +Not everyone thinks Japan is beautiful , but to me its beauty is breathtaking.You feel the same way about France , don't you ? +Yes , I do feel the same way about France . The swift rivers , the fertile valleys , the large cities-its scenery is beautiful . Will you describe the geography of Japan ? +Well , it's made up of four large islands and many smaller islands located off the coast of the Asian main lands . France isn't an island , is it ? +Oh , no , France isn't an island . It is located in the western part of the European continent . But France does have many fine harbors and port cities on its southern and western coasts . Does Japan have good harbors ? +Good harbors ! Yokohama is one of the most famous port cities in the world , and Japan is the largest shipbuilding nation in the world . Also , there are long mountain ranges in the southern is hands . France isn't very mountainous , is it ? +No , France isn't very mountainous . But it does contain the Pyrenees , a large mountain range with high peaks and deep canyons . What kind of Climate does Japan have ? +The Japanese climate is warm and moist in the south , mild in the central part and cold in the north . Except for Hokkaido , we don't get much snowfall at all . France has a mild climate , doesn't it ? +Yes , the climate of France rarely has severe winters . In southern France , one can live in comfort the whole year . Is Japan good for farming ? +Yes , Japan is good for farming . Rice is the main crop , but Japan is also an industrial center . Fishing is very important , too . Rice isn't grown in France , is it ? +No , rice isn't grown in France . But farming , fishing and industry are also very important in France . I'd like to go to Japan some day . Would you like to visit France ? +Yes . I'd like to visit France . I'd like to travel all over the world . As you describe it , France seems to be very much like Japan . I would like to see it for myself . +I don't know why Mark often comes to me and asks me for advice . I smell some rat in it . +He is sly . He is actually angling for compliments . But he may have got the crush on you . +Nonsense ! There's no indication that he's in love with me . +Keep your fingers crossed . He may pop the question one of these days . +Hi , why do you look so depressed today , Mike ? +I had a terrible quarrel with my neighbor yesterday . +How come ? +It is a long story . Basically , she thought I had laughed at her while I didn't . +I know everyone suffers when he is misunderstood . But why not take it easy ? +Yeah . It's so nice of you to comfort me . +Maybe we'd better go now . +It's still early . +Gosh , it's already 10.Stay here if you like . +Since we're late , let's go to see a film . +OK.Hurry up . +My uncle passed away last night . +My condolences . +Diana , in your opinion , which is more important , IQ or EQ ? +Why are you asking me the strange question , Jerry ? +I watched the movie Forrest Gump last night . And the question just lined in my mind . +Well . I think IQ matters more . But it won't work without EQ . +Why ? You seem pretty sure about it . +Because an intellectual mind can only be a beneficial thing in life . +But IQ is decided at birth.One can't expect to make a lot of improvement in it . +That's why people's achievement varies greatly . +That ' s true , but what if one comes across some difficulties . He must rely on his EQ to deal with them . +Yes , Jerry , can you share your understanding of EQ ? +I think it is independent of IQ and plays a prominent role in deciding the way we live our lives . +Quite right . Have you noticed that a high IQ is not a must for one's success ? +Just as Forrest ? +Yes , his IQ is high enough for him to embrace the success as long as he can manage his EQ . +I got it . +Come on ! It's time to go ! +Wait a minute ! Just hold your horses ! What's your hurry , anyway ? +Well , I've got to stop and get gas in the car , first . +That won't take long . +Well , it won't if there no line at the pump . +Well , I'm not quite ready . +I'll give you five more minutes , then I'm going on without you ! +You wouldn't do a thing like that ! +Oh , yes , I would ! +How's business ? +So so . +Wow , that terrible movie is finally over . Next time I ’ m picking the film , because I don ’ t want to end up seeing a chick flick . +Well you should have picked , in the end you always complain about everything . +Not everything , just this film . Even the title is ridiculous . and it ’ s so long , those are the two and a half most wasted hours of my life , so much so that I ’ m thinking about asking them to give me my money back . +I ’ m thinking of taking you back home . I thought we could have a nice evening , but you ’ re always so negative . +I ’ m only complaining about a movie that I could have rented or bought and then thrown in the garbage . +You see , that ’ s what I ’ m talking about , I can ’ t stand your sarcastic jokes anymore +Next time , go with your gay friend who is more in touch with his feelings . +Well he ’ s more of a man than you are ; at least he appreciates love stories . +Love stories ? More like one-night-stands . +Don ’ t criticize Mario or else I ’ ll start on those fat , drunk friends of yours ; they ’ re no saints . +My friends ? Fat ? What about those whales you call friends ? +You ’ re unbearable ; you can walk home , I ’ m leaving . +Which language do you speak ? +Well , I studied French at school , but I ’ Ve forgotten most of it . I learnt some Russian while I was studying there and now I study Spanish in evening classes . Do you speak Japanese at home with your parents ? +Yes , I do . I ’ m learning Chinese now on the internet . +How do you find studying a language on the internet ? +It ’ s not easy , particularly with listening and speaking , because sometimes the connection isn ’ t too good . +I bet you find the character difficult to write ! +Actually , many of the characters are the same or very similar in both Chinese and Japanese , so they ’ re easy for me . +So , you can read and write much better than you speak and understand other speakers , right ? +Yes . How are the Spanish classes going ? +In a way , it ’ s similar to your experience of learning Chinese . Some Spanish words are very similar to English ones . But I need to practise listening to native speakers and saying the words myself . +Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend ? +Sorry , I thought you knew . +But you should tell me you were in love with her . +Didn't I ? +You know you didn't . +Well , I am telling you now . +Yes , but you might have told me before . +I didn't think you would be interested . +You can't be serious . How dare you not tell me you are going to marry her ? +Sorry , I didn't think it mattered . +Oh , you men ! You are all the same . +So , did you go out with Richard ? +Yeah . We went to a movie last Saturday . We saw Police Partners II . +Did you like it ? +Richard did , but I didn't . Of course , I told him I liked it . +Yeah . So did you do anything else ? +Well , we went to a dance club . +Did you have fun there ? +Yeah , we had a great time . And we're going to go there again next week ! +Would you like to go to work or continue your studies after graduation ? +I think I will continue my studies . Now it's not easy for a graduate with bachelor's degree to get a job since there are so many graduates with master's or doctor's degree . We are likely to lose in competing with them in the job market . +So you will continue to study for a master's degree ? +Well , I think so . But I am thinking of going aboard to get a master's and doctor's degree . If can get a Ph . D . abroad , it will be much easy for me to get a job at home . +How can you finance your education abroad ? It is very expensive to study abroad . +I think I will try to get the scholarship since I really don't have so much money to study abroad . Actually now I am preparing for the TEFL and GRE exams . If I can get high marks in the two exams and if I am lucky enough , I may get a scholarship . +It could be pretty tough studying abroad . Being so far away from home ... +It's hard to get tickets for the movie . +Did you get any ? +Yeah , two at the tenth rows . +How much is the ticket ? +3.5 dollars each . +What a great weekend that was ! +My feeling's exactly . +I really enjoy the beach in the summer . +I couldn't agree with you more . +We should come here more often . +You are absolutely right . +I'd like to come back next weekend . +I think Andy's party will be fun . +Yeah , I think so . Oh , by the way , I need to ask you something . +What's that ? +Could I get back the sweater you borrowed ? +Sure . Oh , that reminds me . Could I borrow your black leather boots ? +My boots ? Er ... Sure , ok . +Hi , Mr . Smith . Are you enjoying the cookout ? You don't look too happy . +I spent the morning at the cemetery . I put flowers on the graves of my old war buddies . +Is that what people usually do on Memorial Day ? +They should . This holiday is about remembering our war dead . But people these days think it's just a holiday for summer sales and cookouts ! +I'm sorry to hear that . Thank you for telling me a little more about it . +I went to Super Junior's concert last night . It was fantastic . +Really ? Their songs are very popular all round Asia now . I am also a big fan of theirs . +Yes , their new album just came out last week . It is number one on the billboard . +I really love their dancing . They are all excellent dancers . +The lyrics of the new song are beautiful , too . Can you sing ? +Sure . I think you can hear the song everywhere you go now . +Let's go buy their new album . Want to come with me ? +Why not ? +I am a little nervous about my presentation on Friday . +If you would like me to , I could help you with that . +Wouldn't that take you away from your project ? +I have plenty of time to do this . I promise you it won't be a problem for me . +Is there a good time for you to help me ? +If we work on this tomorrow night , you could easily be ready by Friday . +How about meeting in my office ? +That would work out well . Bring any concerns that you might have . +Sounds like you'll be able to help me a lot . +Don't worry . Everything will go well . I promise ! +If you can choose , will you marry a foreigner or a Chinese ? +Why ? Did tom pop the question ? +Not yet . But I wonder if I can get my parents ’ consent . +Let me guess , your parents want you to marry a Chinese man , right ? +You are right . It is giving me a real headache . I feel like I ’ m between a rock and a hard place . +I used to have the same problem when I was with my ex . +Oh , how did you deal with it ? +I just let it go and continued dating with my Korean boyfriend . But finally we broke up . +Oh , it ’ s a pity . What was the matter ? +Simple . We had personality clashes and there were too many cultural differences . +Like what ? +He hoped to live in the Korean way and asked me to give up working and stay at home to take care of the family . +Oh , I see . In their culture women should put family first . +Yes , he said it would be better for me and for the whole family . But I simply can not quit working . +So that's why it ’ s hard to have a happy marriage with a foreigner . +Not really . There are many successful mixed marriage around us . +Where is Tom ? +He is in the bedroom and fallen asleep . +What ? It ’ s only 9p . m . Now . Why today he went to bed so early ? +He ran four miles and came back dead beat . +Oh , I see . +Hi , Ann . +Hi . You look excited . What's happening ? +I just heard that our school will hold a singing contest in 5 days . +And you're planning to enter ? +Of course . This is a great chance for me to show off my beautiful voice . +Is there a prize ? +I heard that the winner gets a Panda Radio . +Do you think you have a chance ? +A chance ? Not just a chance , I'm a hundred percent certain.Everyone says my voice is beautiful . +But you haven't practised all that much . +I still have 5 days to practise . It's in the bag ! +Don't be too sure . You're still going to need some help . +Yeah , maybe . +I've got to go to bed . Have to work tomorrow . +OK . Good night , then . Have a good sleep . +Good night . See you tomorrow . +I wonder if it is possible that we organize a dinner party for all the colleagues in our departments . They are working very hard these days . Maybe it is time for everybody to relax a little . +That is a good idea , I love it . What time do you think is convenient ? +Well , what about this Thursday evening after we finish the weekly meeting ? +Ok , I will inform everybody when they come back from lunch . It has been a long time since we had the department dinner last time . I am sure they don ’ t want to miss it . +I hope so . Let me know how many will come . Then I will book the restaurant . +What day is today ? +Today is Thursday . +What's the date today ? +Today is May first , 2003 . +Oh , today's International Labour Day . Is it our working day ? +Well , I don't think so . +Can you take part in our picnic this Saturday ? +That would be fine . Where are you going ? +We plan to go to a forest in the suburb . There is a beautiful river there . We can do some fishing . +Great . +And don't forget your fishing tackle . +Ok . I like fishing very much . +Daniel , what are you doing here ? Aren't you supposed to be at school now ? +The same question to you . +Well , we shall make it a secret between us . +Deal , Where is Gucci ? +She is the cheer-leader . They are required to put on a performance . Look ! Here they come . +Oh , look at her . She looks like one is the basketball babies in NBA . +I want to be like her . +Get real . Don't be so pathetic . +Hey , young man ! I'm your sis . Don't talk to me like that . +Oh , man , look at her , go ! She is amazing ! She should be my sis . +Boy , you've got such a crush on her , haven't you ? +Yes , I want to be her boyfriend . Just like in the movie . +Are you out of your mind ? +She told me she liked my new haircut . She thought it was cool . +Go ahead , have a try and be a joke . +You know John ? +Which John ? Mr.Turnbow ’ s son ? +Yes . I ’ Ve read news about him in today ’ s paper . +And he ’ s bright and intelligent . I ’ m sure he can pass the university entrance exam . +I wish he could too . +How ’ s your boy , Jack ? +He ’ s a bit tired , you know . It often takes him a couple of hours to brush up . +Poor boys ! They work harder at school nowadays , don ’ t they ? +Good luck to them . +You have made a poor meal . Let me get you some more fish . +No , thanks . I have had enough . +What about some drink ? +Please bring me a cup of coffee . +Good morning . I want to apply for a library card . +Give me 10 yuan , your ID card and a photo of you please . +But I hear that the card is free . +Yes , it is . But you must pay a deposit for the card . +There will be a refund when I return the card , right ? +Yes , if the card is well kept and has no dirt and scratches . +OK , here you are . +I am very proud of John . +Me too . No one has expected he can really get somewhere with his business . +But he has suffered a lot . +What do you think of the plan for the new airport near here ? +Perhaps they should give it a second thought . The residents are getting up in arms about it . +I think they will . +What do you think of that situation comedies showed every weekend ? +To tell you the truth , I don't think much of them . +You're becoming a real television watcher . +A lot of people feel the same way . +May I invite you for a dance ? +With pleasure . +You dance well . Do you breakdance ? +Me , what brought that on ? +There's a story about breakdancing in the paper . +What does it say ? +According to the story , it's some sort of modern dance style . +Like disco ? +Well , breakdancing is more a physical exercise than a dance . +And disco a kind of nightclub . +Right , a disco is a place where people dance according to nonstop recorded music ... +So ... disco is what the music is called and a disco is a place where people go to dance to it.And breakdancing is a different sort of thing altogether . +You are witty . +Could we borrow the company van for a fundraiser this weekend ? +That would be a possibility . Where is this fundraiser taking place ? +It is in the hotel ballroom down the street . +Do you need it for the whole weekend ? +We will need it for both days . +We will need to know who will be driving the van . +The van will be driven by Mary and me . +It needs to be back on Sunday night . Can you arrange for that ? +Oh yeah , no problem . Would you mind if we borrowed a few of the chairs from the lunchroom . +Just keep track of everything and get it all back where you took it from by Sunday evening . +Guess who I saw yesterday ? +I don't know . Who ? +Avril Lavigen ! +the Canadian rock singer ? But I heard you had a part-time job yesterday . How did you see her ? +yeah , I worked as temporary staff in her concert . Look , her poster , a CD ... +so you're a big fan , eh ? +not really . But I like some of her songs . She's actually very talented . She's a song writer and fashion and fashion designer , too . +and she was in a movie once again , right ? +yes , though I don't think her acting skills are that great . +what was your impression of her when you saw her in person ? +she looked sweeter than her pictures . +did you take a photo with her ? +no , there were too many people . When she got out of the car , her fans were all screaming , trying to give her flowers and ger her autographs . +crazy ! +Can you lend me fifty bucks ? +What ? Again ? Why do you keep running out of money ? +I guess I don't earn enough . +No , I think it's how you budget your life , that's the problem . +That's my business , not yours . +True enough , until the time comes that you need to take my money . I don't know where you're wasting your money but I think you need to take a look at what's really important . +So how do you survive from pay day to pay day ? +I don't just survive . I put money away as well . I know when I get paid where most of the cash will go , and I stick to my plan . If I follow a budget I don't have any nasty surprises . +I'm not disciplined enough I guess . +In a few months I'm planning to invest my money into some foreign companies . I think you need to reevaluate your spending habits . +How do you think the transport system in our city could be improved ? +I think that the public transport system could be made simpler . I never know where the bus routes actually go . The routes seem to twist and turn rather than going roughly in a straight line . +I think we just need to build more roads . Then there would be more space for cars to drive and we ’ d have fewer traffic jams . +If we built more roads , people would just fill them with cars again . I think we should discourage people from using their cars . +How would you do that ? +I think we should do a few things at once . Improving public transport would encourage people to use that . If we also charge people to use their cars in the city centre , they won ’ t use their cars as much . +I don ’ t know . I think it ’ s unfair to make drivers pay more money . They already pay a lot of tax-petrol tax , for example . +I think that they should pay more tax . Look at the damage they cause to the environment and people ’ s health by discharging all those exhaust fumes . +The air would certainly be cleaner if there were fewer cars being used in the city . The problem is that people will see it as reducing their freedom . It well be unpopular . +That ’ s a good point . Car owners will probably be against it , but people who use public transport will be in favor of it . +What day is today ? +Today is December twenty-third , two thousand and two . +Oh , The day after tomorrow is Christmas . +Merry Christmas to you . +You ’ re new here , right ? +Yes , I am . +Will this be your first year ? +No , I transferred here . +What school did you come from ? +I transferred from PCC . +Why ’ d you transfer here ? +I wanted to attend this school originally , but my grades out of high school weren ’ t good enough . +Is PCC a good school ? +PCC is great ! +I hope you enjoy it here . +Thank you very much . +The bridegroom looks a bit nervous . +On this occasion , most people do . +Oh , they are playing the wedding March . Here they come . +She is a beautiful bride . +I am so happy for them . +Are you crying ? +Yes , I always cry at weddings . +Harris and Anne are perfect for each other . +Yes , they are . +You and Tom also make a great couple . +In fact , we are beginning to make preparations . +For the wedding ? +No , no , for the engagement . +Try to catch this bouquet then . +Jessica is going back to Holland next week . I've been thinking a lot about what to give her as a parting gift , but I still have no clue . +is that the girl you spent almost every weekend with ? +yeah , that's her . We had a lot of wonderful times together . She is really a special friend , and I want to get her something meaningful . +I am not good at picking gifts . Maybe you can ask if there's anything she needs to make it easier ? +I don't think so . That way it would lose all the charm . I want it to be a surprise . I want to show her that I care about her and I hope our friendship will last . +yeah , that's nice . +hmm , I think I've got an idea . Maybe I can get her an ever-green plant to take back home . +a plant ? That's creative . I'm sure ever time she waters it she'll think of you . But there is a problem . Do you think it'll be able to go through the customs ? +I hope so . I'll make sure to get a small one so she can put it into her suitcase . I hope it won't cause her trouble at the border . +I don't know . I think the idea of a plant going across borders with a friend is really exciting but maybe seeds would be safer . You don't want to get her in trouble . +Have you got your invitation yet ? +My invitation ? No , I haven't . My invitation to what ? +The house warming party . +Whose house warming party is it ? +Tom and Bill Smith . They are both working now you know ? And they've bought a new house . +Oh , they have ? I didn't know . I haven't seen Tom lately . +It's out in the suburbs . +Have you seen the house ? +Yes , I have . I went out with them last weekend . +Is it nice ? +Yes , it is . There are three bedrooms , a living room , a dining room , and a big kitchen . There's also a garden . +Well , that does sound nice . Have they moved in yet ? +They are moving today . Tom's taken the day off . He's rented a truck , and they should have all their furniture in the house tonight . +When are they going to have the party ? +Next Saturday night . You should get your invitation today or tomorrow . +Wow , that would be something to look forward to . +Have you ever been to Xi ’ an ? +Yes , I ’ Ve been there several times on business trips . But I have never really seen the terra-cotta warriors as it is outside the city . +I ’ Ve heard many people saying that it is a place worth touring . I really want to see the old walls and terra-cotta warriors one day . Of course I won ’ t miss the local food either . You know , the sites interests a food in scenery , food is a key factor when visiting a place . +I agree . As long as the food is not too bizarre once I saw some people eating insects . That is frightening . +Sure it is . Is it convenient to get there by plane ? +Well , the airport is quite far from the downtown area , but it is still more convenient than taking the train . +Tomorrow is Sunday . Let's go out and get some fresh air . +I know there is a beautiful farm in the countryside near Taipei . Are you interested in going there ? +why not ? I love animals and I love nature . +You can see many cows and horses there . lf you are brave enough , you can try horseback riding . it is fun . +sounds very interesting . I can't wait to go there . +Wow ! It is huge and you can do many activities here . +That is true . Some people go camping , some people pick fresh fruit , some people go boating and some people go grass skiing . +I never knew there were so many fun things to do on a farm . +Well , now you know . Let's go to the lake over there . Some people are fishing over there . I haven't had a chance to fish in a lake , I really want to try . +I think we need to buy some baits and borrow some fish poles first . +Yes . we can get what we need at the stands right by the lake . Who do you think will catch a big fish first ? +Of course . I will . +Wait and see . I want to try horseback riding after fishing . It looks very exciting and fun . +It is . However , you will suffer from muscle pain for many days you are a first-time rider . +No problem . It is always worth trying something new once in your life time . +how are you doing ? +I'm ok . I wish I could say the same for my friend . +what happened to him ? +he was arrested by the police for drinking and driving . +was it his first offence ? +unfortunately not . He was charged with a DUI when he was in university . +what happened to him then ? +not much ; it was a minor offence back then . He got away with a fine of $ 500 . +did they take his license away ? +no , they were really easy on him . The problem is that that was a long time ago . They are much tougher on crime now . +what do you think will happen to him ? +well , he'll definitely lose his license , pay a fine , and maybe even spend some time in jail . +that doesn't sound too promising . Does he have a defence lawyer ? +not yet . If we can't find a lawyer for him , then the state will appoint him with one . +my sister is a lawyer . I can ask her if she can help him . +that'd be great ! I know he'd appreciate your help . +Well , sir , we are asking all our guests to wear a jacket and a tie in our restaurant . +Is that so ? I didn't know it.Can I possible borrow a jacket and a tie ? +I'm sorry you can't borrow a jacket and a tie . +Then we return to the hotel and come back.Will you change the appointment ? +Certainly.What time will you come back ? +At seven , please . +How many in your party ? +A party of three . +All right.We are waiting for you at seven . +You know Ernie , it seems we both like the same artists . +Yes , we do . I think we have the same musical tastes . +But if we're going to start a band , we have to be able to sing and dance . Can you do that ? +I'm not a very good singer , but I'm a really great dancer ! I love hip hop dancing . +Great ! I'll sing , and you can dance in our band . +I wish I had access to the public library . +it's easy ! Just go and get a card . +Are you ready ? +Not yet . +Is this your brother-in-law ? +Yes , he married my sister ten years ago . +From his looks , I'd say he's a man of character . +Yes , my sister loves his personality . +You seem to very busy these days . What are you doing ? +I am swapped with work after 10 - day holiday . +Where did you spend your holiday ? +I went to Paris . +Our team just scored a goal . +That's more like it . +Tell me about it . +They might actually win the game . +Want to meet for lunch this Saturday ? +Sorry , I can ’ t . I ’ m busy . +What are you doing ? +I always do volunteer work on the first Saturday of every month . +What kind of volunteer work ? +I help out at the children ’ s hospital . I help plan activities . +Oh , yeah ? +Yeah . It ’ s exciting . This month we ’ re doing crossword puzzles . +Tom , is Jenny crying ? +Can you take he away from me ? +I ’ m just coming for that . +She kept on bothering me . +She ’ s your sister.What she asked was only duck soup for you.Why can ’ t you be good to her ? +But I am her brother , not her servant . +You ’ re making my blood boil . +Calm down . Madam . +I'm about to explode ! You ’ Ve made a mess of this matter . +I am very sorry to hear that you ’ Ve been having so many problems . +Sorry isn ’ t good enough ! What can you do to help me ? +I understand why you ’ re angry , Mrs . Wilson , and believe me , we are doing everything in our power to work this out . +Well , obviously , what you ’ re doing is not good enough ! +If you could just give us a few more days , we should be able to get this straightened out . +Can you tell me something about financial aid ? +What exactly ? +How to apply for it ? +In your first letter , that is , when you apply for admission , you should also tell them you need their financial aid . +Then ... +If the aid is available , they will give you two or more application forms , One is for admission , the others are for the aid . +What if not ? +They will tell you the aid is impossible . +How was Mei ’ s party on Saturday ? +Oh I didn ’ t go . I stayed at home with my family . +Oh really ? What did you do ? +We watched lots of television and films . +I see . Anything else ? +Yes , we ate a delicious meal and drank some very good wine . +Well , it sounds like you really enjoyed yourself . +What's the temperature today ? +It's about 5 degrees centigrade . +What's the weather forecast for tomorrow ? +The weatherman says it's going to snow tomorrow . +Are you used to the climate here ? +I think I'll soon get used to it . +What is the average temperature of Beijing ? +lt's about 180C , but in winter the temperature may fall to 10-15 degrees below zero . And we have a long winter . +Which season do you like best ? +I prefer spring when little by little everything becomes green and the weather is almost always nice . +I simply couldn ’ t help giving him the fish-eye when I knew all that . +But Ben is not a bad man . I know him from A to Z . +However , he disappointed us very much this time . +I can understand that . But ... +Kelly , the guys and I think you should run for senior class president . +Me ? Why me ? Why not you ? +We talked to our older brothers and sisters last night and got the scoop on what that job is all about . +And you think I fit the qualifications ? +Yes . Did you know that the senior class president works for the class for life ? The job doesn't stop when we graduate . +Really ? What is there to do after we graduate ? +Every class reunion is organized by the president and council and anything our class does for the school in later years is headed by the president . +I'm honored that you think I would be qualified . But I would really have to think about this first . +Wow ! You look like a drowned rat ! Didn't you know there is a thunder-storm today ? +I knew there would be a shower , but I didn't realize it would rain cats and dogs today . +Well . You'd better take a hot shower right now , or you will catch a cold . +I know . I don't want to get sick , especially during finals week . +Why are those people crying ? +They must have just come back from tomb sweeping because today is Tomb Sweeping Day . +Tomb Sweeping Day ? What is it ? +Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China , on which many Chinese mourn the dead . +What do they do ? +People go to the cemetery to pay their respects to the dead . +Er ... Alison ? +Ohm , hello , Marcia . I was ... +I just wanted to congratulate you ! I mean , it was a good race and you deserve to win . +Well ... thanks , Marcia.It ' s very nice of you to say so . I mean ... +It was that final sprint ! You were great ! Really ! +Do you really think so ? I mean , was I ? Er ... you ... must be disappointed . +Why aren't you at work ? +I called in sick . +How is the college search going ? +It's a huge headache . I have no idea what I want to do . +But don't you want to study music ? Shouldn't it be easy ? +It should be , but there are too many options . My grades are good enough that I have a lot of choices , but after that ... +I know . You have to decide if you want to attend a school in a city or in the country , a big school or a small school , a public or private school ... +Yup , you understand . And my parents are trying to pressure me into going to a Catholic college . They both attended one and think that it combines a good education with good discipline . And the tuition 3 is usually pretty low . +I see . Well , don't forget to talk to the college counselor at the school . He usually gives good advice and can help point you in the right direction.He gave me some information , and next week I'm going to take a look at some of the colleges he recommended . +Thanks for the information . And good luck in your college search . +I ’ m trying to decide what school to apply for . +Are you thinking about a public school or a private one ? +I ’ m not sure . What ’ s the difference between them ? +Public schools are usually state funded , whereas private schools usually get their funding elsewhere . +Which is better ? +One isn ’ t necessarily better than the other . It depends a lot on the school administration and the teachers . +I hear you have to wear uniforms at private schools . +Yeah , sometimes . +Excuse me , Professor . I am going to miss next week's class . +Is this something that you could schedule for another time ? +No , I have to do this ; it's important ! +Have you arranged for someone to take notes for you ? +I've made arrangements with a friend to help me . +You know that I only allow one absence per semester , don't you ? +Yes , I know . +Write down your name and the date on a piece of paper and give it to me . +OK , I can do that . +Well , have a good day off from class . +It seems so strange to be here , burying you , but it's not you . +Ashes to ashes and dust to dust ... +This has been the worst and best day of my life , Taylor . They kept you in the hospital , and ... +I'll tell you all about it another day . +But you're OK ? It was nothing serious , was it ? +You ladies look very elegant in black . But I don't want you to wear black in my honor for a long time yet to come ... +The air quality in this city is horrendous . The pollution levels are so high that we are not supposed to go outside with a face mask again ! +Exhaust fumes from vehicles cause a great deal of damage to the environment . +On top of that , there are a few large chemical factories in the suburbs , which are contributing to the high pollution levels in the water and the air in this city . +As much as I love this city , I think I'm going to find a greener city to live in . Living in a polluted city like this just can't be good for my health . +I know what you mean . However , there are so few places left that have not been affected by global warming . If it's not the pollution , then it's the natural disasters , deforestation , or the greenhouse effect . +What is the greenhouse effect exactly ? +It's the gradual rise in the earth's temperature . +I see , so it's similar to global warming ? +They're related to one another , yes . +I heard that some people in England are pleased with the fact that the climate is becoming warmer because it's making their towns a more pleasant place to live . +People joke about the benefits of the increase in temperature , but it's not all good news . They've been experiencing a lot of deadly storms there as well . +People always seem to make jokes as a way to deal with unfortunate situations . +I think if everyone pitches in , the world will be a better place . +What would you like to do tonight ? +I'm not sure . +What about going to a movie ? +OK , let's go to the cinema to see what's on . +Mary , be calm . +It is impossible . You cheated on me . +No , listen to me . I always regard you as my best friend . I admire you , and of course you've helped me so much . I should thank you . +Shut up ! +No , listen to me . Perhaps it's my fault that I treat everybody so well . Maybe in other people's eyes , I want you to be my girl-friend . but ... but ... +But you have had lily already ? You should have told me about her , but you didn't . +OK ... OK ... Anyway . I will treat you as my best friend . I hope you can do the same . +Leave me ! Go away ! +Would you mind doing something for me ? +I would if I could . +Would you please explain the meaning of the word ? +Yes , With pleasure . +Our maths teacher is rather humorous . +On the contrary , I think he's very serious . +No , not at all.His examples are really interesting . +So they're easy to remember . +Yeah , how about your maths teacher ? +He's an old antique , very serious . +Bad luck , Anne . +Hey ! How about your history teacher ? +She's another antique . +I'm sorry to hear that . +Hey , if you're not busy this weekend , would you like to go see a movie ? +Sounds good . What should we see ? +How about that European movie ? +You mean the one starring John Travolta ? +Yeah , that's the one I've heard the special effects and the plot are outstanding . +Sounds like an interesting film . Let's meet at five o'clock on Saturday . +Okay , see you then . +Could you do me a favor ? +What is it ? +Could you possibly give me a lift home ? +All right . +Are you sure ? I don't want to inconvenience you . +No problem . I'd be happy to . +Thanks . I really appreciate it . Thanks so much . +I have an appointment for half past one . +What can I help you with ? +Well , I have a problem with my class schedule . +What is it ? +It seems that I've been given two classes scheduled at the same time . +I can understand the problem with that . +Is there any way that you can fix my schedule ? +No problem , do you want those classes still ? +Yes , I do . +Let me see if I can find one of these classes on another day . +Thank you very much . +It's said that the government will clamp down on the new policy . +Are you sure of that ? +I am not certain about that . +They may have some difficulty in doing it . +Did you hear that Mary ’ s marriage is on the rocks ? +So I hear . +Yesterday I met Mary , and she told me her husband often made pass at his secretary . +After all the crises they have survived together , her husband should do such things . She must feel that she ’ s been stabbed in the back . +Are there any interesting articles in today ’ s newspapers ? +The headlines are all about the presidential election in the united states . Few other stories made the front pages . +Is there anything of interest to us in the business sections ? +There ’ s an interesting feature article in the chronicle about doing business in china and the daily news has printed a report about the special economic zone near pairs . We have a subsidiary company l +Are the reports favorable ? +Generally , the reporters take positive lines . They do point out a few problems that we need to be aware of , but there ’ s nothing worrying in the reports . In the classifieds , one of our competitors is a +That ’ s interesting . They must be thinking of moving into that market . Are there any interesting editorials ? +Not really . They all seem to focus on the election . There have been several letters printed in the chronicle regarding that controversial article on drugs that they printed last week . +I ’ m not surprised . That article certainly added fuel to the debate . Ok . Thanks . Can you leave two articles and the advertisements with me ? I ’ d like to read them . +Sure . There you are . +Can you imagine a boat letting in the river ? +That would be terrible . +Sure thing . I have an experience like that . +Oh , how were you saved finally ? +I was in such a panic at that time . Fortunately another boat came along and I was saved from drowning . +I am looking for some information about home stay . +Well , I have been in a host home before . During my first year in the us , I stayed with a family . They are nice . +How did you pay them ? +Well , that depends . If you stay for a long time . They will offer a discount . +He followed me all the way home ! +That's about five blocks . And around corners too.So he was definitely following you . +Yes , he was . I'm not imagining it.Finally , just when I got home , I turned around and looked at him.He was just standing there . He didn't smile . He just stood there . It was so obvious.What should I do ? I'm so scared . Can I call the police ? +Actually , I don't think you can call the police . Not yet at least.He hasn't done anything . And probably the police will just ignore it.But if anything happens again , then maybe you should call . +Why can't I call the police now ? He was definitely following me ! +Of course you can call the police if you want . That's not what I mean . I'm just saying that they probably won't do anything . +I suppose . What can they do ? I don't even know who he is . +Listen , Carol . Don't let this bother you too much.Probably it's nothing . Just keep your eyes open when you go out.If you see him a third time , and if he follows you again , then I think we should go to the police.But for now , just try not to worry . +Alright . And I won't go to that cafe for awhile . +What's your favorite book ? +It's Gone With the Wind . +Why do you like it best ? +I enjoy the various characters and the plot . +Well . I like the Thorn Birds best . +Is it very interesting ? +Sure . I like the writer's language , too . +If I have a chance , I'll enjoy the book . +Would you like to go to the bookshop with me ? +That's a good idea . Let's go ! +May I help you ? +I would like to check out these books . +May I see your library card , please ? +Yes . Here you go . +Apparently , you have unpaid late fees . +I do ? +You owe some money . +Exactly how much do I owe ? +You owe $ 24.50 . +I won ’ t be able to pay that right now . +Until you pay it , you can ’ t check out books . +I will pay it . Don ’ t worry . +How did you choose courses when you were abroad ? +That's a very good question . Choosing proper courses and effectively planning a college schedule is very important to the progress toward your educational goal . In order to do these wisely and effectively , you should consult with a Program Adviser or Academic Counselor . +Wait a minute . There are some new terms for me . I can hardly follow you . +Ok , I will go into more detail . A Program Adviser or an Academic Counselor is usually an experienced professor who is responsible for all the necessary academic counseling through graduation . You can discuss with him the program selection , changing or adding a program , the requirements for graduation , and other problems related to your study . You will choose some courses , and then discuss with the adviser whether your choice can meet the requirements for graduation . +Everything is so new to me . I think I'll have to experience a very difficult period when I get there . +Sure , very difficult . +I am very grateful for your advice . +It's my pleasure to talk with you . +So it is hard to be a black student on campus ? +Yes , in many ways it is . There are many stereotypes I have to deal with in my daily life . +Stereotypes ? Like what ? +Well , like since I'm black , I must like rap music , come from the inner city , or play basketball well . +I do know you like rap music , but the other two are definitely false . I ’ Ve seen you play basketball . +Hey ! But that's not the only problem . There's also the affirmative action stigma . +You mean that people look down upon you because they think you're in school because of a quota ? That's not true at all , you're really a smart guy . +I know that , but some people don't think like that . And I get problems from teachers as well . +Teachers ? I didn't think that they would be racist at all . +Racist ? Not exactly . It's how they look at me and ask for my opinion on a topic , as if I can speak for all black people and give them the black opinion on a subject . Suddenly I become the representative of the black race , as if we all had the same opinion . +I see . It looks like there are still a lot of issues we need to work on in the US . +Could you help me ? +What do you need ? +I can't seem to find my class . +What building is it in ? +It's in the C building . +Oh , I know exactly where that is . +Do you think you can tell me where it is ? +Sure , what room number is it ? +It's room number 261 . +I have a class around there right now . +Could you show me where it is ? +No problem , come on . +John , have you ever watched Beijing Opera ? +Yes , I watched once . +What do you think of it ? +Well , honestly speaking , I went to watch it out of curiosity . I'd say it's really a special art form . +I couldn't agree more . Actually , I'm a Beijing Opera fan . +Really ? Good for you . +Let ’ s play a game ! +OK ! How about Scrabble ? +No , no , a friend of mine taught me this really fun game . I ’ m going to describe someone ’ s face , and you guess who it is ! +OK ! +Let ’ s see . He has a roman nose , bushy eyebrows and dimples ! +Our cousin Pete ! My turn ! She has a pointy nose , sunken eyes and a mole on her chin ! +Aunt Rose ! That mole is so huge ! OK , my turn . He has a crooked nose and full lips . He has quite a few freckles and an oval face . Oh , he is also bald ! +Your future husband ! +Not funny . +Hi Julie , how are things going ? +Everything is great , Tad . How are you ? +I'm doing really well . +Tad , I'm pretty hungry right now . Want to walk over and check out the food table ? +Julie , do you know who that woman is over there by the window ? +That is Mary . I heard that she's just moved in with Lee . +I thought that he was with Malia . +Oh , that relationship is history . Malia hooked up with a guy she met on holiday . +I bet that Lee wasn't too happy with that ! +Actually , he was OK with it . They hadn't been getting along too well . +You can take this car into consideration . It works well and its price is reasonable . +I was not born yesterday . +So , Emily , how was your day ? +I don't think you really want to hear about it . +It can't have been that bad . Go on and tell me about it . +To be honest , it was horrible ! My manager is such a pain in the neck ! +Why ? What happened ? +Well , he made quite a few mistakes on the monthly report and when his supervisor found them , my manager blamed them on me ! +That's not very fair . What did you do ? +There wasn't really anything that I could do . There's always been a lot of bad blood between my manager and myself . If I had said anything , he would have fired for me for sure . +Does he treat everyone in your department like this ? +He treats everyone pretty poorly , but the way he treats me really takes the cake ! +Do you have any idea why he treats you worse than the others ? +I really have no idea . All I know is that the thought of him really curls my hair ! +Is there anyone else you can talk to about it at you company ? +Not really . I'm hoping to live with it for a while until I get a promotion . +That's very sensible . It sounds like you have a good head on you shoulders . +I try to be sensible about it , but it's not very easy . Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it . +That's so true . When you have a taste for success , you can't let dishonest people like your manager get in the way . +Can you speak English ? +Yes I can . I speak it very well . +Where did you learn it ? +I lived in England when I was a child . +What else can you speak ? +Well , I know a little Italian . +Hi , Maggy , Did you hear about David ? +About David , No , I didn ’ t hear anything . +You know , about David and new boss . +Sorry , I don ’ t quite follow you . +Well , I hear David have been fired . +Oh , that is a shame . He is really hard working . +How would you describe your relationship with our boss ? +We have a fairly good working relationship , but there was also a rough spot . +What do you think his strengths are ? +Well , he has an amazing ability to analyze information and he is very good at making the right decision in tough situations . +Which school is your children in ? +She is now in a private school . +Oh , it costs too much . It's more expensive than the public school . +It's idea of my husband . He is always banging the drum for better schools . +But the private school amount to better schools . +I am very interested in a new apartment near the Taxing Plaza , but the price is very high , I really can't afford it . +How much is it for each square meter ? How large is the apartment ? +It's 7500 yuan per square meter , and I really like the one with three bedrooms and a large living room . Its total area is about 80 square meters . +That surely will cost you a lot of money . Are you going to make a full payment ? +Do you think I am rich enough to make it ? I am thinking about buying the apartment by installments . The real estate agency says if I pay a 25 % down payment , I can move in at once . +If sounds so tempting . Why not go applying for a loan from the bank ? They charge very low interest , so you can choose whether to pay up the balance in 10 or 20 years . +I really like the record you lent me the other day . +I'm glad you like it . +And thank you very much for letting me keep it so long . +Not at all . +I'm most grateful . Everyone in our class enjoyed it . +I'm glad . +Would you mind my keeping it for another week ? +We'd like to have a look around your house ? +Yes , of course , please follow me . +Thank you . +This is our courtyard . +It's so spacious , about 40 square metres , right ? +Yes , about 46 square metres . +Are these corn ears hanging on the tree branch ? +Yes . +Very beautiful and very interesting . But why do you hang them in the tree ? +They don't have enough time to peel it after they harvested them , so they hung them in the tree . Then in winter , they can peel corn ears in their leisure time . +Very good idea . Sometimes such pictures can show the house's richness . +So , where are you going to spend your winter vacation ? +Oh , I ’ m going to meet my girlfriend in Thailand . +You have a girlfriend in Thailand ? Interesting . How come I have never heard of that ? +Actually it will be my first time to meet her . +You mean you haven ’ t seen her before ? Then , how could she be your girlfriend ? Maybe you don ’ t even know her . +That ’ s true . But we have known each other over the Internet for a few months now . Actually we are on an intimate level . We even plan to be engaged next month . +Congratulations ! It ’ s good to follow your heart . But I just didn ’ t expect to be so fast . +The Internet is making interaction much faster . People are getting to know each other much more quickly this way . +Probably you ’ re right . +Hi ! Susan ! I haven't seen you for ages ! +I've been really busy . How is everything ? +Oh , fine . Hey , why don't we grab a bite to eat and do some catching up ? +Yeah , why not ? I've got a little free time on my hands . Where do you want to eat ? +Oh , George , what a beautiful day it is today ! The sun is hot and there are just a few clouds scattered here and there ! What a perfect day to be at the beach ! The kids are going to have so much fun ! And we ’ ll be able to relax in the sun while they ’ re playing . +It does seem like the perfect day ! I ’ m glad we chose to get out of the city and enjoy the nice weather ! This looks like the perfect spot ! Ok kids , put on your sunscreen while your mom and I set up camp . Here , Mary , help me lay down these beach towels . +There we go . Can you help me with the umbrella ? Perfect . +Ok kids , here ’ sa beach ball and a Frisbee , a pail and a shovel . I want to see an impressive sandcastle by the time we leave . Don ’ t stray too far . Wait ! Leave your sandals here or put on your wet shoes . +And stay in the shallow area . I don ’ t want to see you go any farther than that sandbar ! It ’ s too deep out there and we didn ’ t bring your floatier . +You ’ re back already ? The water was too cold , huh ? I ’ ll tell you a secret . Do you see that small pool of water over there ? It ’ ll be warmer in there . Go see if you can find some seashells or catch some minnows . +What is that ? A jellyfish ? Jeremy , put that down right now ! It could sting you ! +Ah ! Not on me ! Ow ! +Hello +Hi Angela , it's Dan . +Hi B . How are you ? +Good . +I called you yesterday . Did you get my message ? +Yes , I was taking a shower when you called . I saw that you called and I tried to call you back , but I think your phone was off . +No problem . I wanted to remind you that my friend is getting married next week . You're still coming to the wedding with me , right ? +Oh , is that next week ? +Yes . Did you forget ? +No , of course not . I already bought them a present . +That's good . I want to invite Megan also . Next time you see her , can you tell her for me . +Sure . Does she know your friend ? +Yes , I think they might have gone to the same college or something like that . I'm not exactly sure how they know each other . +Are we all going to drive together ? +Yes . I'll pick you up first , and then we'll go get Megan . +Hey , look at the offer I got in my e-mail . It says that I can get rich quickly while working at home ! +Do you also believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy ? +What do you mean ? +I mean that you're gullible . You shouldn't believe everything you read , especially on the Internet . +But it seems like a good idea . All I have to do is first send some money to the person who sent me the letter . After that he'll tell me how to earn much more money . +Sounds like a pyramid scheme . Have you heard of those before ? +Pyramid scheme ? What is that ? +It's a scam 7 that's based on a hierarchy , like a pyramid . The person at the top asks the people below him for money , and then tells them to go and ask other people for money while sending some of it back to him . +Sounds good to me . The guy at the top gets money and so do the people below him . +Not exactly . The scam keeps on going , with the people at the bottom paying more and more money until they reach the very bottom . +What happens then ? +Nothing . The people at the bottom give their money to the people above them , and they get nothing . They end up losing . That's why it's a scam . +I see . I guess I should be more careful about what I read , especially on the Internet where you have no idea who anybody is . +We've been cramming for tomorrow's history exam since early this morning . What do you say we take a break and listen to some music , okay ? +Now that you mention it , I'm getting a little bumed-out from studying nonstop , too . Listening to some music for a while would suit me just fine . +While you're picking out a record to play , I'll grab a couple of beers out of the refrigerator . +You sure have a lot of discs here . +Yeah , I've got everything from rock n ' roll to the latest new - wave stuff . +To tell you the truth , I'm strictly into classical music . You don't happen to have any Bach or Mozart , do you ? +Sorry , my taste in music doesn't go back any further than the 1960 ' s . Music written before then is just history to me . +Well , speaking of history , let's get back to the books.We ' Ve got an exam tomorrow , remember ? +When can we expect you and your daughter for dinner ? Next Saturday ? +Next Saturday ? I ’ m sorry . I ’ Ve promised to go to a Chinese Opera with my daughter . +How about Sunday then ? +Yes , Sunday sounds fine . What time ? +Does 6,30 suit you ? +It suits us fine . We ’ ll see you then . +Thanks , goodbye . +I was thinking of holding the company retreat in the mountains . +I agree , I think that that would be perfect ! +I was thinking it could take place sometime in January . +That might be a little too cold for some people . +Yes , you are right . +What about April ? April has good weather that isn't too cold or too hot . +Yes , that would work out better . +You know , maybe we could take a survey to see how that works for everyone . +Good idea ! We'll have to get right on it . +Fine ! Well , I'll get right on it now ! +How may I help you ? +I need to check these books out . +Do you have your library card ? +Here it is . +It appears that you have late fees . +Really ? +Yes , really . +How much do I owe ? +You owe $ 24.50 in late fees . +I don ’ t have that much today . +I ’ m sorry , but until you pay it , you won ’ t be able to check out any more books . +I ’ ll pay it as soon as possible . +Merry Christmas ! +Huh ? +I said Merry Christmas ! Don ’ t you know that Christmas is almost here ? +It is ? Oh , that ’ s nice . +Huh ? Didn ’ t you know ? Aren ’ t you excited ? +Actually , I ’ d forgotten about it . +Forgotten about it ? How could you ? +Because I ’ m not Christian , I ’ m Jewish . +Oh , I ’ m sorry . I didn ’ t know . +It ’ s all right . There are so many Christians in America that everybody takes it for granted that I ’ m Christian . +I guess so . So what do you do around this time of year ? +Well , I ’ ll celebrate Hanukah soon , but that ’ s not as important to us as Christmas is to you . Mainly I ’ ll just enjoy the holiday break . +Well , would you be horribly offended if I invited you to a Christmas party at my house ? +Not at all . A party is a party . I ’ ll be happy to come . +Do you want to go shopping with me ? +That's a good idea.What time is good for you ? +How about Saturday morning ? +Sounds good . +Welcome , young man . No offence , but I haven't seen you here before . +Of course , this is my first time here . My Mom has a membership here . Here is the card . +Okay then . You are the younger customer here ever . +It's not so wise that you do not explore the children's market . +It's the marketing's fault , I suppose.What do you want to do ? +Well , I want to become just like Bruce Lee . What should I do ? +That's a long way to go , I'm afraid . First of all , you gotta grow up . +I am still young . And I'm growing every minute . +Sure . Then what about trying the treadmill or the skipping rope . +I love running . Anything else ? +Please change your clothes first ! +I'm perfect with my clothes . And I do not have anything else with me . +Sorry , but no jeans here . +Oh , that's the only place where jeans are not popular . I'd better just go home . +I hear that the Students ' Union is going to take new members . +Really ? Can I join it ? +Of course you can if you like it . +How can I join it ? +There will be an information session about the Students ' Union this Tuesday . You can apply for it then . +OK , thank you . +Is that girl your girlfriend ? +No , it's not . +She doesn't look like our classmate . +Don't mistake her as somebody . She ' s my older sister . +Really , she's so pretty . +What do you do in summer ? +I love going out into the countryside for walks or bike ride . I love being out in the fresh summer air . How about you ? +I don ’ t often go for walks , but I either play sports outside-you know , tennis or badminton-or just sit in the sunshine and read a good book . +What do you do in winter ? +Well , I play sports indoors quite often . If I ’ m feeling lazy , I just watch a film at home . I prefer summer to winter . +I think most people do . I like wearing nice , colorful clothes in summer , you know , a nice dress or skirt . It ’ s too cold for those kinds of clothes in winter . +Yes . I like wearing shorts in summer . My legs would freeze ! +Do you think we ’ ll have a nice summer this year ? +Thanks to global warming , it could be hotter than ever ! +Happy new year ! +Thank you . Same to you . +Have you got any plans ? +I've been invited over to a friend ’ s , and you ? +My roommate ’ s having a party . +Do you offer a course in business management ? +Yes , we do . +How many nights a week is it ? +It's 3 nights a week , Monday , Tuesday and Thursday . +And how long does the course last ? +It lasts for 9 months . +When does it start ? +The next beginning class starts on October 25th . +What time is the class ? +From 7 to 9 o'clock . +How much does it cost ? +It costs 125 dollars a month . +Yes , that's all right . I want to enroll in the course . +Thank you , please fill out this form for us . +Do you want me to fill it out now ? +Yes , please . we need a record of you education and your work experiences . +Which social problem do you think the government needs to concentrate on most ? +I think housing is a big problem . There are thousands of homeless people on the streets . +How would you solve the problem ? +I have a good idea to solve it . The government could provide some money for homeless people to build their own homes . +It would probably be very expensive . +I think the government can afford it . Besides , there are many advantages . Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had an address . They would learn some useful skill for finding jobs i +It ’ s not a bad idea . I think education is the biggest problem at the moment . Schools don ’ t seem to have enough money to educate kids properly . +If we are to invest more money to education , we will need to raise taxes . That wouldn ’ t be popular with voters . +Most voters what everything both ways . They want the government to pay for lots of things , but without increasing taxes . +The government should show that it is using money efficiently . Sometimes you hear about how the government has wasted money on a project . +Yes . The government has limited funds and must show that it is using the money responsibly +Do you keep any pets , such as cats , dogs ? +No , I'm scared of cats . +Oh , but why ? +I feel they're dirty . +Would you like to see our new shirts ? +Sorry , but I ’ m not really that interested in those things . +Well , they are very nice you know . +Really ? +And not expensive either . +Oh , I don't care about that . +Everybody is buying them . +Are they ? +Yes , they are very fashionable , you see . +I am afraid I am not interested in fashion . +I see . +But thank you very much all the same . +Sorry I couldn't help you . +Come in , come in ! +Hi , Gary , what happened ? I was waiting for you at the theater . Why didn ’ t you meet me there ? +I thought we were supposed to meet HERE . +Don ’ t you know our movie starts at seven ? And we were going to meet at the theater at five to seven . Then it doesn ’ t make sense to meet at the apartment . +I ’ m sorry . We must have misunderstood each other . +Why don ’ t you try to be clearer about your intentions ? +You ’ re right . I am sorry . Let ’ s go and watch the movie . +It ’ s okay . I don ’ t want to go now . We ’ Ve already missed ten minutes of the movie . I don ’ t want to see a movie without watching the beginning . +how was school today , Dominic ? +I hate school ! +why ? What happened ? +I messed up my mid-term exam so badly today ! +it's just one exam . Can you re-take the exam ? +yes , but it's so humiliating ! I don't want my friends to know I failed ! +why didn't you do a good job ? +I don't know . I sat down in my seat , looked at my paper , and then my mind just went totally blank . +do you think you studied enough for the exam ? +no ... +what did you do last night ? +I watched TV . +did you study at all last night for your exam ? +no , not really . +I am sure if you had studied , you would have done well . When can you re-take your exam ? +tomorrow . +alright . Get out your books and I'll help you prepare . +I haven't met the Smiths for a long time . +They have moved to Chicago . +Why ? +Mr.Smith has changed his job . +Did you hear about Joe ? She hasn't eaten for days . +Why ? What's eating her ? +Love sick . You know who she's in love with ? +I don't have the slightest idea . +Someone you're living with . +What ? Not my Dad , I hope ! ? +Come on , Mary , it's your brother , Jack . +No kidding ! Jack is such a log ! He's never dated a girl . +The problem with Joe is that she's too shy to tell him . +And the problem with Jack is that he seems to have no interest in girls . He's putting his heart into his stamp collection . +Well , if you want to help your friend , you should do something about it . +Oh , they all went out ! Did you make a wish ? +Yes , but I doubt if I get it . I've never got it . +Better luck this time ! +How do you like the food sold in this sidewalk snack booth ? +At least , it is better than my boxed lunch at work . I'm so fed up with the bland food . Thank you for having lunch with me ! +Any time . But I don't mind eating boxed lunch . The food sanitation is really good too . +It's hard to believe that you like it . You are so easy to be satisfied . +Hey , it's not that bad . The food is nutritious and it's really convenient . I don't want to spend too much time on eating stuff . +Eating is important . You are what you eat . It's not only a daily routine . +Well , will you just go back to work after lunch ? +No . I'm going to pay the bill for the company's lunch . +But you didn't eat anything today . +Well , the bill is paid by month . That's probably the only thing that I like about a take-out restaurant . +All right . I'm going to the McDonald's . +For what ? I thought you didn't like western food . +No , I never did . It's for my son . He loves it , and I made an agreement with him that he can eat it once a week . +That's really smart . My son Daniel is the same with your son . I just don't get it , why all the kids prefer western food to traditional food . +Me , either . But , it's for sure that the children market is a really big one . +That's for sure . It's always hard for the parents to say no to their children . +What can I do for you today ? +I need to return a book . +Can I do anything else for you ? +I want to check these books out . +Is that all ? +That ’ s all . +May I see your library card , please ? +It ’ s right here . +Will that be all for today ? +Yes . That ’ s it . +These are due back in two weeks . +All right . Have a good night . +Which sports are popular in your country ? +Most people like football . More boys like football than girls . A few girls play it really well . Some people like playing basketball . +Do many people like tennis ? +More and more people like it now . fewer people play table tennis than before . Many people like swimming , because it is fun and keeps you fit . +In my country , many people enjoy golf , but it is too expensive for some people . A few people like extreme sports , but I think the vast majority of people are afraid to try them . +Extreme sports are only for a small minority of people . Several people from my university enjoy them , but most of us just watch . No one I know plays golf . +I know loads of people who play it regularly . There are plenty of golf courses around the country . In the past , only a tiny number of people played . +A great deal of people follow rugby in my country . +There are plenty of rugby fans in my country too . +Thank you for letting me borrow your portable CD player . +Oh , you're welcome . +You seem to be in the seventh heaven . What's put you on ? +Sarah and I could see eye to eye with each other . +Did she give up her decision to marry Dick ? +No , I encourage her to go her own way , but she's now having a change of heart . +I've come to say goodbye . +When do you leave ? +I'm catching the eleven o'clock train . +Take care of yourself and don't forget to keep in touch . +Goodbye . Hope to see you again next year . +The weather is terrible . +Yes . It was sunny and warm yesterday but the wind is really blowing hard now . +I'm wearing my heavy jacket . +I'm going to put on more clothes , too . +Will it snow today ? +I don't know . Do you like snowing ? +Yes , when it snows , every where is white . It's very beautiful . +You can read the newspaper . Maybe it will tell you whether it will snow or not . +Good idea . +This city is far too polluted . We should do something about it . +I agree . We need to recycle our trash and use public transportation more often . +I am looking for a comfortable convenient way to see the country . +Have you heard of motor coaching ? It's one of the fastest-growing segments for the travel industry . +No , I've not heard of it . Tell me about it . +It's almost like going on an ocean cruise except that you go by land . Everything is planned for you from the moment you step on board a luxury coach . +Is it just a bus ? +Oh . no . The motor coach is air-conditioned , there is a galley for food preparation , movies or music are available for your entertainment and attendants are there to take care of your every need . +Wow ! That sounds like pure luxury . +Who's your favorite film star ? +Tom Hanks is always my favorite film star . +What films feature him ? +Many ! +My Chinese friends told me that the Spring Festival is coming soon . Can you tell me something about it ? +Certainly . It ’ s actually the Chinese New Year and is regarded by the Chinese as the most important holiday of the year . +What happens on the holiday ? +Family members usually get together on the Eve of the New Year and have a special dinner to celebrate . Relatives and friends often visit each other during the holiday to wish each other a happy new year . +Do people cook a lot of special dishes for the holiday ? +Yes , just like Christmas in western countries , it is a time for eating lots of special food . +Rachel has decided to quit smoking . +Really ? Why ? +You never guess she is going to have a baby . +Oh , it's unbelievable . She is such a chain smoker . +Yes , yes . She said she is going to stop drinking coffee too and quit all the unhealthy habits just for the baby . +Oh , she is going to be a great mother . +Do you know who ’ s just got married ? Old McDonald . +Never ! He ’ s over 80 , isn ’ t he ? +He ’ s nearly 90 . +Good gracious ! Are you sure ? +I am . What ’ s more , his wife is 84 . +Is she really ? +Yes , she is . And guess what , he is her sixth husband . +Really ? Quite a woman , isn ’ t she ? +It's almost midnight ! We are about to start a brand new year ! +I know it's so exciting ! A new year is always like a clean slate . Fresh start to accomplish any dreams , objectives and goals . +Do you have a New Year's resolution ? +I was thinking about it , but I'm never able to keep my New Year's resolution . Last year for example I joined a gym and only went twice . +Yeah I know what you mean . That's why this year I am keeping things more simple . Maybe like getting together with friends I haven't seen in a long time , or doing some volunteering work . +That seems reasonable . We should get together and watch the ball drop in Times Square . +Sure , as long as you don't try to kiss me at midnight ! +Well , we can't break tradition ! It's bad luck ! +Excuse me , are you Sara Wilson ? +Yes , I am.You must be Tom.Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you too.Let me help you with your bags . +Be careful , Tom.Those are pretty heavy . +Wow , you're not kidding.Hold on a second.Hello , could you give us a hand , please ? +Are you working or are you a student ? +I'm a student . +Which school are you studying at ? +Tsinghua University . +I'm really tired of my job in the bank . I'm thinking about changing it . +Have you any definite idea ? +Not yet , what's your opinion ? +I think you'd better try an active job . +Mike ! What's going on , man ! Long time no see ! +Hey , Pat ! Yeah , I haven ’ t seen you in ages ! How is going ? +Things doing great ! It ’ s funny running into you like this . Smell well , just last week I ran into Matt as well . +Yeah ? How ’ s he doing ? +He ’ s doing well . We went out for a couple of beers and the funniest thing happened . +Oh yeah ? +Well , we were talking and catching up on what we ’ Ve been doing , talking about work and family , when all of a sudden , Matt saw a mouse run under his chair and he completely lost it ! He started freaking out , and screaming ... +Ha ha , really ? +Yeah , and the funniest thing was , that he jumped on to his chair and started shrieking like a girl . You had to be there ! Everyone was staring and laughing ... it was hilarious ! +Hey , Jack , where's your car ? +I got rid of that clunker . This is my new one . +Is that right ? It sure beats the old one ? +Jump in , I'll give you a ride . +Ok . Boy , this looks expensive . +Yeah , it costed a bundle alright . +Wow , this's sinking a hole . +Yeah , this sucker is the fastest thing I've ever owned . +I believe it . Hoo , this car corners like it's on rails . +We are on the high way . I'm the * * . +Wow , this car can really burn rubber . +It's a great feeling . +You made a perfect choice , Jack . +Thanks , Daisy . +What's your email address ? +It's bulldog 123 . +Bulldog 123 . Are you sure that's all ? +Yes . +No . That's incomplete . +What do you mean ? +What's your mailing address ? +456 Cherry Drive , Pasadena , CA 91170 . +That's correct . +So what's the problem ? +Bulldog 123 is just the street . You have to give me the city , state , and ZIP code . +Oh , I get it . My email address is bluedog123@yahoo.com . +I'm here for my appointment . +What can I do for you today ? +I have an issue with my schedule . +Tell me the problem . +I have two classes on here that are at the same time . +Oh , I see . +Can you change that for me ? +Do you still want both classes ? +Yes , I would like to keep both classes . +I'll try to change one to a different day . +I would greatly appreciate that . +I ’ d love to have my own farm . +It would be very hard work . Are you sure ? +I wouldn ’ t mind getting up early morning and the physical work would make me fit and healthy . +Running a farm would be totally different to you current job . +That ’ s one reason I ’ d like to try it . I ’ d really like to get away from working 9 to 5 in an office . +You ’ d need a lot of training before becoming a farmer . It ’ s not something you can just walk into . +My uncle owns a farm and I ’ Ve spent some time working with him . I love being in the countryside with farm animals and green fields . +Well , I ‘ d certainly come and visit you . It would be great to take a working holiday on a farm . I ’ d love to get away from hustle and bustle of the city for a while . +We still have one more day to go before we return home . What will we see tomorrow ? +no idea . We've enjoyed both the natural scenery and the city sights . What else is there to see ? +what about a factory tour ? +you mean visit a factory ? +yes . I heard there's a lager motor company nearby which open to the public every weekend . We can go to see how a car is manufactured and learn more about the automobile industry . +good idea ! I've always been interested in that . How much is the entrance fee ? +I'm not sure , but as far as I know , most factory tours are free . They are sponsored by the company providing the tour . +really ? What do the companies do that for ? +I believe most of them think of it as good public relations . They can promote their product and make their company better-known . +oh , i see . So factory tours are good for companies as well as visitors . +exactly . +do we need an appointment beforehand ? +I'll call the tourist information centre to check . +Look , here're two coins named Kai Yuan Tong Bao — the sort of coin made in memory of the founding of a new dynasty . These two coins were made in different periods of the Tang Dynasty . +How can you tell the difference ? From what I see , they look almost the same . +The one made in the early Tang period is bigger and has more characters on it , while the one with smaller and elegant characters was made in late Tang period . Look carefully , and tell me if you see the difference now . +Yes , they are different ! But it's too professional . What I need is just being able to tell the real from the fake . Do you know any method we can use to tell a fake ancient coin ? +Various methods were used in history to produce fake coins . We usually send the coin to an authorized unit to have it tested by experts with special machines . We can judge it with naked eyes . +I see . By the way , China was more than once ruled by foreign tribes in history . Did they issue their own coins in China ? +Certainly , they did . Liao Coins and Song Coins , for example , coexisted in circulation during the Southern Song and Yuan period some 800 -1000 years ago . The Liao Coins look plain and bold in style , just like the characteristics of the Mongolian tribe . Let me look for one and show you . +If you happen to find one , please bargain with the owner for it . I'd like to have one . It's interesting to see the integration of the Han and Mongolian cultures on this small piece of metal . +There will be another sandstorm here tomorrow . +It's the fourth one this year . Isn't it horrible . +Yes . We should plant more trees and grass to stop the sand from spreading . +It may take many years for the trees to grow . I hope people will stop cutting down trees . +But we need the wood . +But we can't destroy our forests to get the wood . +What are you guys doing ? +Just having a chat . +What ’ s wrong with you , Mr . Polly ? +What ’ s wrong ? I want a break from this horrible job . +Then , buy a bottle of soft drink . +Would you like to buy a bottle for me in the shop ? +It ’ s a problem , because my boss is in that shop now . +Ok , I will go there myself . +Sorry , Mr . Polly . +It doesn ’ t matter . Oh , God , I have only four dollars in my wallet . Is that possible for me to buy one ? +Have a try . +I'm bored and got nothing to do tonight . +How about coming with me to meet my American friends ? +Hey , that sounds great . +Okay , I'll pick you up at eight o'clock . +What ’ s the first thing you do when you go to the bathroom in the morning ? +I look at myself in the mirror . Sometimes , it ’ s not a pleasant sight , especially if I have been out late the late before . +Do you usually shower or take a bath ? +I usually don ’ t have time for a bath in the mornings , so I just take a shower . Sometimes I need a cold shower to wake me up and sometimes I need a hot one , especially if it ’ s winter and I need to warm up . +Do you shave every morning ? +I shave every workday , but I only shave at weekends if I ’ m going out somewhere . If I ’ m staying at home , I don ’ t shave . +Do you brush your teeth twice a day as dentists recommend ? +Yes . I brush my teeth in the morning , just before I go to work . It ’ s actually the last thing I do before leaving . Then I brush again before bed . +Your dentist must be proud of you ! +Miss Wang , would you mind my asking you a personal question ? +No , not at all.Go ahead . +Are you married ? +Yes.Is that so important ? +Frankly yes.We like to employ married people.By the way , do you have any children ? +Yes , I have a three-year-old son . +I'm not satisfied with it . +Why not ? What's wrong with it ? +Sometimes it goes fast . And sometimes it goes slow . And the alarm doesn'twork , either . +Would you like another one ? +No . Can I have my money back ? +Hmm ... have you got a receipt ? +A receipt ? +Yes . I must see your receipt . You can't have your money back without receipt . +Oh , I'm not certain , but I think I've lost it . +Morning , Tom . +Hi , Mary . +You seem to be in a hurry . +Yes . I ’ Ve got a meeting in a minute . +Okay . I won ’ t hold you up then . +Right . I ’ ll see you later . +See you later . +Would you mind if I ask you whether you are married or not ? +To be frank , I was married once , and now I'm single . +Do you mean you got a divorce ? +Yes , my first marriage was a failure . +Let me clear away the broken glass . +No , I can manage it myself.Just sit down , please . +It's very careless of me to have broken your glass . +Never mind . +Have you followed the value of dollar lately ? +How could I help but follow it ? The fluctuation of dollar is killing my company ! The exchange rates are eating into our profits , and we can't do anything about it . +It's really frustrating , isn't it ? I have the same problem . I would feel a lot better if the currency was a little more stable . With the way the dollar plummeting lately , my securities have gone up in smoke . +Every day I have less money ! I haven't spent anything , it is just melting away because of the shifts in exchange rate . +What we really should be making investment in is the Euro . I've followed the Euro's progress over the last quarter , I think it's about time to buy in . +What about the Yen ? +Are you kidding ? The Yen is in worse shape than the Dollar ! +What a lovely day . The sun is shinning and the sky is so blue . It's a perfect day to go to the beach and get a beautiful tan . +Great idea . Unlike you , I just want to enjoy watching the sea and playing with the sand . I do not want to get a tan because I look good in pale skin . +Come on . Getting a tan symbolizes health and wealth in western countries . +While the pale color symbolizes beauty and elegance in most Asia countries . +That is a really interesting fact . +I will bring a big hat and apply a lot of sunscreen before setting off the beach . +Just do whatever you feel like doing . +( At the beach ) My bag is so heavy . Let's put the stuff under the tree . +Good idea . It is always cooler in a shade . +I can't wait to play in the water . My feet are burning when I stand on the sand . +What time is it , Tom ? +Just a minute . It ’ s ten to nine by my watch . +Is it ? I have no idea if I ’ m so late . I must be off now . +What ’ s the hurry ? +I must catch the nine-thirty Train . +It ’ s plenty of time yet . The railway station is very close . It won ’ t take your twenty minutes to get there . +Did you bring some lunch with you ? +Yes , I packed it myself . +Wow , that looks beautiful . +It's my health-conscious lunch , good for my health and beauty . +I might try it myself . +Can you name some festivals of religious nature ? +Yes , such as Christmas and Easter . +What about historic festivals ? +Thanksgiving Day , Independence Day . +I wonder how Sarah and Mat are . +Don't you know they've already broken up ? +I'm not surprised . She's a plain Jane . +And he's so handsome . +Where's Bob ? +It seems like he's not coming . +Can you give him a call on his mobile ? +Sure . +excuse me ; is this seat taken ? +no . It's all yours . +thank you very much . My name is Ashlan . It's nice to meet you . +Carson . It's nice to mee you , too . +the weather is so warm for December , don't you think ? +it is unusually warm . I blame it on global warming . +global warming is wreaking havoc everywhere . +so sure . Are you from around here ? +no . I'm new here . I just moved here a few months ago . +where are you from ? +I'm from China . What about you ? +I am from Texas . I was in China once , but it was a long time ago . +did you enjoy it ? +I did . I especially liked the food . What do you think about the food here ? +it's very different from Chinese food , but I am getting used to it . +Is that the Da Vinci Code that you've got there ? +yes , have you read it ? +no , but I saw the movie . What do you think about it ? +well , to be honest , I've only gotten though 10 pages of it . So far , though , it's interesting . +well , this is my stop . it was nice talking with you . +likewise . Bye ! +Would you like a cup of coffee ? +Yes . That would be good . +Oh , no . +What's the matter ? +This machine is out of order . +You shouldn't have used the machine . Did you lose your money ? +I sure did . +You ought to complain . These machine are always out of order . +Hello , Mary . Nice day , isn't it ? +Yes , what a wonderful day ! The sky has cleared up in the end . +I do feel like an outdoor exercise . After all , we haven't had such a beautiful day for a long time . +How about taking a walk in the park ? +OK . It's delightful to have a walk in the park with the air so fresh . +( After they entering the park ) Great , it's so quiet here . We have the park to ourselves , only you and me . +Are you kidding ? Don't you see many people over there ? Just on your right . +Oh , I see them . Beautiful weather should be shared by all the people . +Ah , you changed so fast . +How was the party last night ? Did you enjoy it ? +Oh , don ’ t talk to me about last night ! It was the most awful evening I ’ Ve ever had . +Why ? What happened ? +Well . Mary had promised to be my date , but she stood me up . I waited for her for a full hour in the cold wind . +What about the party ? +It was boring . The music was too slow and the food was lousy and , above all , I was really sick of the same old crowd all the time . +So how long did you stay ? +I left after the opening dance . I couldn ’ t wait to get out of there . +Do you think my briefcase is big enough to put in all these stuff ? +Let me see . Laptop , flash disk , a ballpoint pen , a pencil , a notebook , a pair of glasses , cell phone , charger , moisture , notion , ... Oh , that is too much . You are not going to a business trip . +I guess I need all of them . +Actually , the company will provide you with all of these supplies . So , you can leave this very thick notebook at home . +I know . But it is my lucky charm . I carry it all the time . +Suit yourself . Don ’ t forget to set the alarm clock . +Why do all girls appear feminine after sophomore year ? +Because they are full-grown . Look at their curvy figures . +I feel they all talk and behave in a different way . +They suddenly become shy when they speak to boys . +Some even do make-up slightly . Are you aware that previous ' small potato ' Ma Xiaoxiao becomes a piece of cheese cake recently ? +She is certainly not my kind of girl . +Stop preaching your dream love Marilyn Monroe to me . I know those sexy women are your tastes . +You are so Platonic . Those naive girls will eventually grow into real women . They can't resist love , and men cannot resist their attraction either . +I appreciate the saying ' Love consists in this , that two solitude protect , border and salute each other . ' +This one looks great ! I love the seashore . +So do I . The sun ... the sand ... the ocean ! +And listen to this ! What do you think of sailing , swimming , windsurfing , and fishing ? +Oh , Tom ! They sound fantastic . I really like all those things . +Yeah ... me , too . +Well , except fishing . To be honest , I hate fishing , but I love all the others . +Hey ! Look at this ! We can stay in a big hotel or we can stay in a little cabin by the beach . +You know . I really don't those big hotels . +Neither do I . Let's stay in a cabin.It ' ll be much nicer right beside the ocean . +May , look , what's that in the cage ? +Don't you know that ? It's panda . +Of course I know . I just can't see it very well . +OK , then put on your glasses , and do you know what does the panda eat ? +Of course , Bamboo ! +That's right . +I also know they are given to other countries as gifts for friendship . +You sound quite knowledgeable . +Not really , panda is my favorite animal . +Actually , it likes milk too . +Any way , in a word , panda is our friend . +Do you know other famous animals in the world ? +Yeah , let me think , the kangaroo and koala bear from Australia are very famous . +That's right . OK , let's move on . +You look fresh recently.How do you make it ? +I attend an aerobic class three times a week . +Aren't you tired ? +No , I feel young , fresh and energetic . +John , did you have a dream when you was a little boy ? +Of course I did . I dreamed to be a pilot when I grow up . But unfortunately , I didn ’ t realize it . +I had the same experience with you . When I was a little boy I dreamed to be a great scientist . But now you see , I'm just a common office clerk . +Okay , forget about that . S , do you have some practical dreams at present ? +I do . And now I'm working hard to learn English , and I want to be an interpreter some day . +You're promising . Just follow your dream and never give up . +Thanks , I will . +Hi Joe . You've met my new assistant , right ? +Emm ... yes . But I wasn't too impressed . I found her a little stuck up . +You are kidding , but she's so helpful . +Tom ... you are her boss , you down . Of course , she's helpful to you . +Come on . She's like that with everyone . +I don't think so actually . She never even says " hello " to me . +Eric , how long will you be in China ? +I don't know . Well , my contract here is for one year , and I don't know what I should do after that . Maybe going around for a while . +Well , have you ever thought about learning some Chinese ? +Actually , I am learning that now . But it's too hard for me . You know the four tones and the stuff . It really freaks me out . +Don't worry . All things are difficult before they are easy . +You hit the nail right on the head . +Well , are you invested in some language-exchange program ? +What is it ? +It's where I teach you Chinese , and in exchange you teach me English . +Awesome . I've been giving this a lot of thought . When can we do this ? +How about this sunday ? +Ok , cool . +Good . I'll give you a call tonight . +No problem . +Bye . +Great party , isn ’ t it ? +Yeah , really . +By the way , my name is Liu Wei . +Hi , I ’ m Susan Marshall , You can call me Susan.Nice to meet you . +What do you do , Susan ? +Well , I ’ m a college student.How about you ? +I work for the Bank of China , in the International Section . +Happy Birthday ! This is for you , Kate ! +Thanks.Miss Zhang . +You know in China we usually don't open presents until the guests leave . +Really ? I've already opened this one.Say , this is sweater , and it's just what I need to go with my new suit.Thank you ever so much . +The May Day holiday is coming . Have you made any plan ? Are you going to stay here or go out for a traveling ? +I haven ’ t decided yet . But I may go out . +Where have you planned to go ? +I want to go to Shanghai , but I also want to visit Hainan . +Then which will be your first choice ? +I don ’ t know . How about you ? are you staying here or somewhere . +I have decided to go to Tasha . +By train or by plane ? +By plane . +What a pin-up she is ! +Can you imagine she's over forty ? +That's incredible ! She has such a sharp figure . +Absolutely.She ' s a teacher of aerobics . +Do you have spare time tonight ? +What's the matter ? +There will be a live show of football tonight . +What teams are playing tonight ? +AC Milan versus Real Madrid . +That will be a tough match , right ? +Absolutely . +What are we waiting for ? It's already 7 pm now . Let's buy some drinks and desserts now . +Great idea ! Here we go ! +I didn't expect to see you at this hour . You must have goofed off again . +Goofed off ? Maybe , but I'm not a clock-watcher . I finished doing what I should do and then knock off an hour earlier . +You'll be sorry if the boss finds it out . He may probably give you the bag . +I'm sure of what I'm doing . +Hey , Leo . How come you look so terrible ? What ’ s going ’ on ? +You can say that again . Susan ’ brother dropped in from out of town , so I offered to put him up for a few days . But he ’ s driving me up a wall . This guy is bottomless pit . +How gross ! I can ’ t handle people like that . Does he at least give you a hand around the house ? +He doesn ’ t lift a finger ! I bend over backwards cleaning up all day and he sleeps in until noon . +Man , what a freeloader . You better do something quick or he ’ ll never hit the road . After all , he ’ s got it made in the shade here . +You think he might stay even longer ? ! +Now , don ’ t go losing your temper . If you tolerated all you can , just kick him out ... but do it with gloves . I know ! Tell him a white lie like you ’ re getting the house fumigated ! +That wouldn ’ t be a lie ! +I've got an idea . Let's make this game even more interesting . +How ? Do you want to play strip-trivia or something ? +Well , if you want to ! Seriously , though , let's make a bet . +Why don't we just make it a friendly game ? +Don't be such a chicken ! Whoever loses has to treat everyone to a movie . +What ’ s wrong with it ? +It ’ s broken . I just bought it yesterday , you know , it costs me $ 556 . +It sounds too bad . What will you do ? +Mike suggests me to return it . +That ’ s what I want to say . +What do you think of the new television channel ? Aren't the programs awful ? +I quite agree with you . They are terrible . They are complete waste of time , but my wife disagrees with me . +Actually , what bothers me is the violence . There are far too many detective and police shows . +I couldn't agree with you more . There aren't enough educational programs , and even the news shows are not well done . +You are absolutely right . They are too brief . They don't tell you anything . +I like your new skirt . +Do you think it fits me ? +Yes . It looks terrific ! +I bought it at half price . +You were lucky to find it . +Do you like tea ? +Yes , but I don't know much about it . +Tea does good to people's health . There are many kinds of tea.Say , black tea , green tea , scented tea , brick tea , milk tea , Jas - mine tea , chrysanthemum tea and so on . +My favourite is Jasmine tea . I like its aroma . +Yeah , but scented tea is now in fashion . +David , why didn ’ t you clean the room ? +I ’ m not in the mood . +Why are you feeling depressed ? +I was told my girlfriend was speaking ill of me . That ’ s a real let-down . +I don ’ t think she will do such a thing . +But she did and made me disappointed . +Oh , cheer up . A girlfriend is not everything . +But she means a lot to me . +Then forgive her mistake . +This small town has many serious problems . +What's the cause ? +The mayor and high officials practice cronyism and a large number of guys who are good at nothing occupy many important positions . +I see why it lags behind other towns . +Do you love me ? +I ’ m very fond of you . +Yes , but do you love me ? +why ? You mean a lot to me . +why didn ’ t you answer my question ? +what question ? +Do you love me ? come on , I ’ m eager to hear . +you know that I care for you . I---I ’ m proud of you . +Don ’ t cherish your words , dear . +I---I don ’ t feel like saying it . +You missed the film.That ' s a shame . +Is it stimulating ? +Yes . I got very excited . +I hope I still have chances . +Hello , this is the admissions office . Can I help you ? +Hi . I ’ m calling about your continuing education program . +What would you like to know ? +I want to become certified in computer programming . Do you offer any part-time courses for adult further education ? +Yes , we offer both night and weekend courses in a number of different subjects . +How do I sign up ? +If you give me your address , I can mail you an information packet and the application forms . +Great ! +How nice of you to come ! +It's been a long time , hasn't it ? How have you been ? +Just fine , thanks.And you ? +I've never been better , thanks . +Marquet , do you think I should enroll in the science course ? +Yes , I think so . If you want to graduated this year , you've got to take a science course . +Right , I figure since you are doing premedical , you know about the very courses . +Well , I have to take biology , chemistry , maps and physics . What you need is a good introductory course for non-science majors . +Yes , I'm really weak in maps , I did poorly in high school . +That's a problem . +Earning extra income on the Internet is easier than you might think . After I started selling traditional craft items on the Internet last year , I have really been able to make bank doing something I love . +Is that right ? I hear all these horror stories of internet business crashing because there is not enough of a customer base yet . How can you be sure your idea will cash in ? +To run a successful internet business , it requires a little research and relatively small investment . You've got to have a good idea of some kind of product that is in demand or would be popular . +That's marketing research ... But what about getting started once you have an idea ? +After you have your great idea , then you can set up shop by registering a domain name , creating a website , an email address , and a hosting service . If you want to go all out on your website , you can put together shopping cart technology , but that can be pricey to start out with . +Sounds like a lot of work ! +Anything worth doing takes work . Money doesn't grow on trees ... Most of us have to work for it . +You went out on a date last night , didn't you ? +Yes , I did , but Linda stood me up . She didn't keep the date for the first time . +How come ? +I don't know . +Why don't you phone her for a date again ? +I did phone her this morning , but she hung up on me . I think she is going to walk out on me . +Don't jump to conclusions . Look at the bright side , try to make another date again . +I will . Thanks for your advice . +Happy birthday , Aims ! +Thank you , Lisa . +Here is a present for you . I hope you like it . +Oh , great ! I love it ! You know I've been expecting this for a long time . +I'm very glad to hear that . +Come here ; let me introduce some friends to you . +Bill , do you know when did the Chinese begin to celebrate Teachers ' Day ? +I know the Chinese teachers had their first festival in 1985 . +So , it is the 27th Teachers ' Day . +What will you do on Teachers ' Day ? +I am going to send Mr . Li some flowers . What about you ? +I intend to invite him to dinner . +I hear scientists in the US have discovered a new AIDS vaccine . +Does it work ? +I don ’ t know . The report says it is better than the old vaccines . +Don ’ t count on it . I think the best way to prevent AIDS is to keep yourself clean by having clean sex and keeping a regular sex partner . +Right . That ’ s why doctor say AIDS prevention means cleanness . +Harry was angry last night . +That's because he's getting nervous . Anyway , this is the first time he's directed a play . +But he used to be very relaxed and cheerful . It's not like Harry to do a thing like that . +Yes , you're right . Maybe there's any other reason . +Did you get any pizza ? When I got there , only small one was left . What a pity ! +I got the short end of the stick . +Hello , Kevin . I hate to do this , but I have to cancel our appointment . +Oh , no ! Why ? I was looking forward to seeing you at my new place . +Yeah , I really wanted to come , too . But something unexpected in Shanghai have come up . I have to fly out for a few days , but I'll be back soon . +No problem . Call me when you get back . +I should have some free time next week . Say , next Wednesday evening ? +That's good for me , but do you think you'll be back by then ? I'd really like to see you . +Yeah , I'm expecting to come back on Tuesday . +Great ! That's settled then . +OK . +Hi , my name is Lean , and I'm from Russia . +Nice to meet you , Lvan.My name is Alike . I'm from Japan . +To me English is a difficult language . +A second language is always difficult . +True , but English is harder than most.It ' s a crazy language . +A crazy language ? Why do you say that ? +One letter can have several pronunciations and one word can have several meanings . +No wonder you say English is a crazy language . +May , is this the Hall of Ancient China ? +Yes . Look at these historical relics here , amazing ! +Why are they all in glass boxes ? +For protection . Some relics will turn to dust if exposed to air . +So there isn't air in the glass boxes ? +No , there isn't . There is a vacuum in every box . +I wonder how old these things are . Thousands of years ? +Yeah , they all come from a very ancient time . +Hey , look at the tripod . I've seen it on TV . +It was made 4,000 years ago . It's priceless ! +Honey come on ! We are going to be late ! Honestly , you take longer getting ready than I do ! +I was drying my hair and ironing my shirt ! Can you come here for a sec ? I need your help . +What is it ? Why are all these clothes on the bed ? +I don ’ t know what to wear ! Ok , give me your opinion . Do you like the way this looks ? The striped short sleeved shirt with this checkered sweater and my lucky sandals . I like the cut and hemline of these shorts so I think I ’ ll wear these as well . +Are you joking ? What am I going to do with you ? We are going to a dinner party not the beach ! Wear the shirt with the silk tie I bought you and these corduroy pants . It ’ s chilly outside so you can wear this coat . +Thanks honey ! You have such great fashion sense.Now , what am I going to do with my hair ? +How may I help you ? +I need to return these books . +Give them here . +Here they are . +It appears these books are two weeks late . +I forgot they were due . +You do realize you are going to have to pay late fees , right ? +How much is the late fee ? +The late fee is 25 cents a day . +So I have to pay 25 cents for each day the books are late ? +It ’ s 25 cents for each book . +That ’ s a lot of money . +So what kind of music turns you on ? +Rock'n'Roll , I guess . +You mean the kind of stuff like Nirvana ? +Not really . That ’ s pretty heavy metal . +Hi , Robert . What happened to your face ? It looks swollen . +I had to go get a cavity filled today . +Did it hurt ? +I don't even wanna talk about it . It killed me ! +How long were you in the chair ? +It took quite a while , but the worst part was getting numbed . They had to give me 3 shoots . +Well , I guess you've learned a good lesson , huh . You have to take good care of your teeth . +No kidding . Not only can ’ t I stand the pain , but man ... dentists are expensive . The bill is going to be humungous ! +Don't you have a dental insurance ? +I do , but it still does not cover everything . +Merry Christmas ! +The same to you ! +Are you doing anything special ? +We're having some friends over.What are you doing ? +Oh . I'm just going to take it easy . +OK , guys . Here's the plan . Get the ball to the goal , and keep it away from Rich and Taylor ! +Why ? Are they good ? +They played ball at school . Here we go . Yi-jun , go out for a pass ! +I'm ready ! Whoa , what a hard throw ! I can't get that ! +Catch it , Yi-jun ! Run to the ball ! Uh-oh ! Slow down , you're going to hit ... +Ummmph ! +What are you doing ? +I ’ m just looking at this map of the world . I ’ m preparing for a geography class . +There are no countries marked on the map . +No , there aren ’ t . this map just show the geographical features . Look at the Himalayan plateau with the highest peaks in the world . +The thing that I find most surprising is that most of the world is covered with water . Compared to the oceans , most countries are tiny . +I find it incredible how millions of years of volcanic activity have created mountains thousands of metres tall . +Rivers have created deep valleys and canyons like the grand canyon . +The oceans and landscapes all influence our climate . +It ’ s all so interesting . I ’ ll have to find more information about it on the internet . Or perhaps I should try and attend your geography class . +What are you up to tonight , Steve ? +I'm going to a disco with my friends . +That sounds like fun . Have a good time . +Well , I can ’ t believe your uncle and aunt came to stay with us for a week , and they did not even call us in advance . +John , they are old-fashioned people from the Chinese countryside . That ’ s their custom . +I know , but it is hard for me to get used to your relatives coming to visit us , and without warning . +Don ’ t your relatives visit other relatives ? +Yes , but Americans never visit without calling in advance , and they almost never stay overnight . +I think that maybe Chinese families are closer than your families . +I think you ’ re right ! +What is today ? +Thursday . +So the weekend is coming ! How about seeing a film ! +I'd love to . +Oh , George , what a beautiful day it is today ! The sun is hot and there are just a few clouds scattered here and there ! What a perfect day to be at the beach ! The kids are going to have so much fun ! A +It does seem like the perfect day ! I ’ m glad we chose to get out of the city and enjoy the nice weather ! This looks like the perfect spot ! Ok kids , put on your sunscreen while your mom and I set up ca +There we go . Can you help me with the umbrella ? Perfect . +Ok kids , here ’ sa beach ball and a Frisbee , a pail and a shovel . I want to see an impressive sandcastle by the time we leave . Don ’ t stray too far . Wait ! Leave your sandals here or put on your wet shoes +And stay in the shallow area . I don ’ t want to see you go any farther than that sandbar ! It ’ s too deep out there and we didn ’ t bring your floatier . +You ’ re back already ? The water was too cold , huh ? I ’ ll tell you a secret . Do you see that small pool of water over there ? It ’ ll be warmer in there . Go see if you can find some seashells or catch some +What is that ? A jellyfish ? Jeremy , put that down right now ! It could sting you ! +Ah ! Not on me ! Ow ! +What do you think about studying in the U . S . ? +Well , for many international students , coming to the United States and living here and studying can be quite a daunting experience , especially when finding a house on campus or off campus . +Do you have any advice ? +I think first of all for first-time students , coming and living on campus in dormitories can provide a certain level of security . +Anything else ? +Uh , when you live off campus , there might be a certain amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have when living on campus . +I will think over your advice . +Well , of course , the choice is up to you . Good luck ! +I really appreciate your help . +Who is that guy ? +It's Clive of course . Where did you come from ? Every girl knows Clive ! +Really ? He is my type . +He is everybody's type . +What position does he play ? +Shooting guard . The same as Michael Jordan ! +Oh , I love Michael Jordan . He fills people's lives with great excitement . +Used to . But now he is too old to play in a fierce game like this . But Kobe is the upcoming superstar now . +Kobe is a good player but I heard he is a womanizer . +That is not true . They are just jealous of him ! +Jordan is a legend , anyway . An idol that no one can replace . I think Clive can make a good professional basketball player . He is not just about muscles he also plays smart . +You know what , he is also an outstanding football player . He is surely to be a star of tomorrow . +By the way , do you know if he has a girl friend ? +You are so not here ! His girlfriend is one of the cheer leaders . +Oh , My chance is slim then . +Here are the leads from last week's exhibit as a trade show . There are about forty or so that are hot . You should contact them immediately , in the next twenty-four hours if you can . The rest are categorized according to potential and interest.You can see we've got our hot stack , our warm stack , our lukewarm , and our cold but not dead stack . +Haha ... please don't tell me you've got a dead stack . I hate making cold calls ... +Don't worry , most of the leads on mildly interested , if not strongly interested . We've just got to make sure the Hot ones are contacted right away . And even the contacts that for what ever reason aren't prepared to make an order now , they might be interested in the future . Please be conscanciouss about getting a hold of everyone of these leads . We've spent a big chunk of marketing budget to find these people . I don't want our investment to go down the drain . +Don't worry , I've gotchy covered . +Where's your hometown ? +Shandong . +I just got laid off . The awful business , you know . +I ’ m very sorry to hear about that . So are you all right ? +Yeah , I ’ m better after talking to you . +Oh , you poor thing ! +What will you do now ? Propose to her . +Of course I won't chill out . Opportunity knocks only once . +You should strike while the iron is hot . +You're right . I will have a talk to her about that . +How do you usually get to school ? +I usually ride my bike . Which form of transport do you prefer to use ? +I feel that I can see more when I pedal a bicycle , but when I feel lazy , I drive my car . +I think we should discourage people from using their private cars . They produce too much pollution ! +I agree , but I would find it difficult to stop using my car . It's just so convenient . +Cars might be convenient , but they're so bad for the environment . +Do you have a car ? +No . I used to have one though . Once I started using my bicycle to get around , I found that I didn't really need it . +Maybe if I sold my car now , I wouldn't be so tempted to use it . +You could try . It would save you a lot of money . +That's true . Every month , I spend hundreds of dollars on gas , insurance , and repairs . +If you got to class by riding a bicycle every day instead of driving , you will get lots of exercise , too ! +I could stand to lose a few pounds . Having a car has made me lazy . I never end up walking anywhere ! +Let's go to a car dealership . I'll help you try to sell your car for a good price . +Sounds good ! Let's go ! +Bob is really handsome . +That's why he's very popular among girls . +I wish I were just as handsome . +You are ! +How's your new work , Carl ? +A tough job . They even offer in-service training every Wednesday afternoon . +Good for you . +I don't like it . I am not used to this kind of 9 to 5 work hours . Above all , I hate talking to those poker faces everyday . +Well , you have to take the bad with the good . +I guess so . I am badly off and I need this job . +What can I help you with today ? +When does the library close ? +The library closes at six o ’ clock . +Does it close at that time every day ? +Not always . +Is the library open on Saturdays ? +Yes . +What time do you open and close on Saturday ? +The hours are from 9 am - 6 +Okay . Thank you very much . +Do you need anything else ? +No , that ’ s all . Thanks . +I can't wait until my car is repaired . The commuting with public transportation is killing me . +It can't be that bad . +But it is ! Take this morning for example . The subway was so packed this morning , I got totally squished by about a hundred busy commuters on the way to work . +At least the subway is better than the bus . It's faster for one thing . And usually less crowded . But the drawback is that the subway is more expensive than the bus . It adds up over time , if you take it every day . +That's true . The bus is even worse . Just thinking about taking the bus every day makes me tired ! Hey , how do you get to work every day ? +I ride my bike . I don't live too far away , so it's pretty convenient . it's only about a ten minute bike ride from my house to the office . +I'll bet it's good exercise , too ... a good way to keep fit . +Yes , not only a good way to keep in shape , but a good way to relieve stress as well . While you're stressed out by your commute , I'm releasing all the stress of the day with mine . +Why are you so rude to your wife ? +I didn't like her butting in where I didn't want her . She's a chatter box . +But she means to help you , not to trouble you . +I know . But I just can't stand her butting in when I was trying to emphasize a point . +What he said disappointed me . +What did he say ? +He advised me to change to a more suitable course . +Why ? +He said that career in law was unsuitable for a women . +It is stupid to say so . +What do you think is harder , reading or writing ? +Well , they ’ re completely different . Reading is passive , and writing is active . +I don ’ t think I understand what you mean . Could you explain a little more ? +In reading you need to recognize language by seeing the words on the page and knowing what they are . In writing you have to produce language , you have to create your own words on a blank page . +Oh , now I see what you mean . When you ’ re reading , you are just looking , but when you are writing , you are actually doing something ! +A reading knowledge of a language is larger and different from a writing knowledge . Don ’ t you think so ? +I think I see what you mean . I can read Shakespeare but I definitely can ’ t write it . +Exactly . +So I have another question for you . What do you think is harder , speaking or understanding ? +They ’ re both harder than reading or writing . +In what way ? +Because they are direct communication with another person , and there ’ s a time limit . This time limit is the most serious problem for foreigners , even for those who know lots of English . +You are making me feel really discouraged . +I ’ m not trying to discourage you . I ’ m trying to help you . You have to live with these difficulties . Isn ’ t it better to know about them ? The more you know about what you have to face , the better you ’ ll do . I promise ! +You look happy . +I am happy . I just bought a new car . +Wow ! Is it a good car ? +It ’ s a great car . It ’ s very comfortable and it goes really fast . +Was it expensive ? +Put it this way – it wasn ’ t cheap . +What colour is it ? +It ’ s red and black . +Let's meet tonight at the Thai restaurant at about 5 . +Fine , I'll take a taxi . +Why don't you walk ? It's only about 20 minutes walking and it's a nice evening . +Never thought about it , I sure you are right . It's quite a short walk . +Ha-ha , see you then . +Professor , do you have a few moments when I could meet with you ? +I schedule my appointments from two to four on Saturday ; what works best for you ? +Three would be a good time . +Great , do you need directions to my office ? +I'm not sure . +Well , just make sure to go through the double doors , and I'll be on the right . +OK , I'll find it . +It's very easy to find . +See you then . +I will enjoy seeing you ; have a good week ! +The boy threw up . +That's disgusting . +Bill . Bill ! You gotta help me ! +What ’ s wrong ? Slow down or you are gonna give yourself a heart attack . +Tomorrow is Christmas and I haven ’ t bought my mom anything ! I ’ m such a bad son ! +Take it easy ! Let ’ s go to the mall , window shop a little and see if there is anything she might like . +That ’ s just it ! I don ’ t know what to get her ! Last year I got her a ring that was two sizes too big and a pair of shoes five sizes too small ! I suck at getting presents for people . +That ’ s where you ’ re making a big mistake ! You can ’ t just guess peoples ’ likes or sizes ! Especially with clothes or jewelry . On top of that , I think that you should get your mom something that shows how much you love her . At the same time you should show her that you took the time and effort to look for something that she would really like ! +Yeah , you ’ re right . When it comes down to it , I can be pretty tacky . +Yeah , tell me about it . I know ! Your mom is trying to learn Spanish , right ? Why don ’ t you get her a gift certificate for this great website I saw called SpanishPod . +Now that ’ s a great idea ! +Happy birthday , Ms . Lin . Here is a present for you . +Oh , thank you ! It's very kind of you . Ah , it is a porcelain vase . +I hope you like it . +Yes , it is lovely . I have been expecting something like this for a long time . Thanks ever so much . +I am glad you like it . +Cheer ! +Cheer ! +So what time tomorrow ? +Half past seven in the morning . +Where to meet ? +In the market . +OK . Bottoms up . +Bottoms up . +It's on me . +Thank you . This place is nice . +Wow , Is winter always this cold in Taiwan ? +Not really . It's much warmer usually . Your are not used to cold weather ? +No , I am from south California . This is my first real winter . +Well , You'd better get some more warm clothes . +What's the temperature today anyway ? +I would say it's about 5 degree Celsius . +Good evening , Mr.Brown . +Good evening , David.Good evening , Mary.It ' s so good of you both to come . +It's nice of you to invite us . +what are you listening to ? Is that Beethoven or Mozart ? +it's Beethoven . Do you like it ? +I think Beethoven's music is incredible . I've heard that listening to it can make you more intelligent , too . Do you believe that ? +I don't know about that , but I do think that it helps people relax . +what other kind of music do you listen to ? +actually , I mostly just listen classical music . What about you ? +to be honest , I think classical music is too complicated for me . +what kind of music do you prefer then ? +I like pop music . Do you ? +not really . I don't think pop music has much depth . +I see what you mean . I think that's way I like it so much . +how long have you been in to pop music , then ? +I've always been into it . Have you always liked classical music ? +not really . When I was little , we didn't really listen to music at all . +so , how did you become interested in it ? +well , when I was about 10 years old , I started playing the piano . I think that's how it all started . +do you still play piano ? +yes , it's one of my hobbies . +Want to join me for a midnight snack ? I need to grab something to eat . +Fine with me , but no more chafing dish . +Let's go to the food stall . There's a good one just around the corner . +I'd love to try some snacks . +( Later .. ) Everything looks tempting . What do you want to have ? +Kebabs and roast squid . +Can I have a bite ? +Help yourself . +Super ! +Can I help you , sir ? +Yes , I've been sitting here for a few minutes . I'm waiting for someone to put gas in my car . +I'm sorry , sir . But this is the self-service pump . +Self-service ? +Yes . You must fill up the car yourself . +Are you serious ? +Yes . Are you traveling here ? +Yes , I'm from Taiwan . I never heard of a gas station where you fill up your own car . +In America , most gas stations are like this . +Do I really have to do it ? I don't know how . +Well , since this is your first time , I will do it for you.But next time , if you want a full-service gas station , you should look at the sign . +What sign ? +Under the sign for the gas station , there will be a smaller sign that says Self-Serve or Full-Service.And some gas stations have both.But if they have both , some pumps will be self-serve and some will be full-serve.You have to look at the signs . +I see . +Oh , no . It looks like my computer really has caught a virus . +Why ? Did you open an attachment ? +Yes , something called “ George W . Bush . ” An hour later , all I see are pictures of George W . Bush in women's clothes . +I kind of like it . He looks better that way , doesn't he ? More presidential . +I preferred the forward with pictures of him side-by-side with monkeys . +Yeah , their expressions were exactly the same ! +John seems to be in high cotton . He may well become a big shot . +I bet my button dollar that he won't . He is no more than a nine day's wonder . +What is your idea ? +Many people like him get a flying start but soon disappear . +Millions of amateur investors like you , have to rely on a dizzying array of financial newspapers , magazines and commentators to get investment information . +Yes.It ' s sometimes scary if you think of the tremendous amount of media we face every day . +It's like information overload , not to mention the reliability of these papers and magazines . +Which financial magazines and newspapers do you think do the best job of checking facts ? +Well , for example , The Wall Street Journal is very , very good . Even though it's used on occasion ( as all news organizations are ) by Ces or bankers who leak their mergers in advance in order to get a positive spin . +I like to read Fortune . +Good . Fortune is usually ahead of the curve.And Business Week is very solid , too . +Where does a broadcast company get most of their information ? I hope it's not just from press releases . +A good broadcast company usually does far more than press releases.Their people go out and do real reporting , talking to people at the stock exchange , fund managers , analysts , etc . +But sometimes when a flimsy report , or even a rumor gets on television , there's going to be a terrible ' echo chamber ' effect . +You are right about that . +Hi , Li Ming . You look upset . What's the matter ? +There will be a parents ' meeting in our class this Saturday and I am worried about it . +Why ? We can leave school earlier that day . +I didn't do well in last exams . If my father knows it , he will beat me up . +I can't believe it . My parents never beat me . +You know that my father is irritable . +You can ask the teacher for help . +Good idea . +Did your company go union ? I heard that many companies in out industry are being unionized , so It's getting harder and harder to compete on a level playing field . +Yes , we're hopping on the bandwagon and signing up for the union . Mostly people are pretty happy about it ... I guess it depends on if you are in management or in the labor force . +Management isn't looking on the labor unions too favorably , I'd guess . I don't blame them ... labor unions can really put the squeeze on the executives . +Sure ... but it's probably better for the workers , because the union's whole purpose is to look out for the little guys . The only way that the little guys can take on the big bosses is if they unite . Labor unions are all about getting a voice for the underdog . +I hope the host team loses . +That all depends on how the visiting team shapes . +According to the papers , the visiting side is a strong team in America . +But two players of the team have been booked and one is out . +Hi honey ! You ’ ll never guess what ! My friends Julie and Alex are getting married ! +Wow that ’ s great news ! They ’ re a great couple ! +I know ! Anyways I just talked to Alex ’ s best man and he is organizing the bachelor party It ’ s gonna be so much fun ! All the groomsmen are thinking up all the wacky and crazy things we are going to do that night . +You aren ’ t going to a strip club , are you ? I don ’ t want you getting a lap dance from some stripper with the excuse that it ’ s your friends party . +Aw come on ! It ’ s just some innocent fun ! You know how these things are ! We are gonna play drinking games , get him some gag gifts and just have a good time . Nothing too over the top . +Well , I don ’ t know . +Come on ! If one of your friends was getting married I wouldn ’ t mind you going to her bachelorette party ! +Good , because my friend Wendy is getting married and I ’ m organizing her party ! +Aren ’ t you interested in watching the Olympics ? There have been some excellent performances by athletes from all over the world . +I just don ’ t find it very interesting . +I think it ’ s wonderful to see people from all over the world taking part in such a great event . +I think that for a lot of people , it ’ s just a way to try and show their country is better than other countries . +I think the Olympics help to promote world peace . +I ’ m not sure about that . We still have many wars in the world . I think that the idea behind the Olympics is a good one , but the reality is that during the Olympics countries compete . There ’ s no real spirit of cooperation and people are usually not very friendly to each other . +You are so pessimistic ! The Olympics is a great opportunity for athletes to demonstrate their speed , skill , agility and strength . Most people hope to see someone from their country win , but I think that they are just happy to see good performances by any athlete . +Well . I think that the most amazing performances are by athletes who participate in the Paralympics . +Now there we are in agreement ! +You have a lovely house , Jack . +Thank you . But a number of things have been going wrong lately . +That's too bad . What problems are you having . +Oh , the whole house needs re-painting for starters . The carpet in the living room is worn out , and I'd like to put in new wall-to-wall carpeting . Last week , I had to call the plumber to fix the toilet . Anyway , all par for the course when you own a house , I guess . I think I am going to hire an interior decorator to look the place over . +I ’ Ve studied home decoration as a hobby . Could I make some suggestions ? +Go right ahead . +Well , I think a crystal chandelier would look great in your living room , and maybe some new drapes for the windows . Also , a grandfather clock would look great in the den . Perhaps you could buy some potted plants for the dining room +Well , you really do have a talent for this , Alice . Thanks for the suggestions . +You are welcome , Jack . Glad to be of help . +What are you hiding in your coat pocket ? +It's a camera . +You want to take pictures of the inside of your pocket ? +Not even funny , Billy . This is my new snapshot sticker camera . +What's that supposed to mean ? +Well , there are adhesive strips on the backs . You can stick them anywhere . +Sorry.What was that you said ? +I'll meet you at the Gate round about seven . +Where ? +At the Gate . +When , did you say ? +Round about seven . +Who's coming ? +Peter.Peter Brown , you know.Don ' t forget to bring the letter . +Sorry . I didn't quite catch what you said.There ' s a lot of noise outside . +I told you not to forget to bring the letter . +Loretta ? No , she can't come , she's busy . +I broke my sister's mirror . I'm sure it'll get her back up . I really don't know how I can escape the punishment . +You'd better tell your sister what happened and face the music . +My accountant thinks she can save me lots of money on my taxes this year . +That sounds great ! +How's it going ? +I'm in a good mood today , actually . How about you ? +To be honest , I'm a bit fed up . +What's wrong ? +There's a girl in my company that I really like but I always get shy when she is around . +I see ! Do you want to ask her out ? +Sure , but how ? +You can ask her out for drinks after work . +But for what reasons ? She doesn't even know who I am . +Then you've got a lot of work to do . You need to get her to notice you first . +Easier said than done . +You can start by meeting her at the bus stop and saying ' hello ' to her . +But I always get tongue-tied when I see her . +That's something you need to overcome . Men should make the first move as most girls prefer being chased . +I see . I'll try . +Good luck ! +Excuse me . May I come in ? +Sure . Come on in . +i saw lily for the first time . and fell like i'v been struck by lightening.she is a girl of my dreams . i have a date with her on Friday , but i really can't decide what to do . +what about taking her for a dinner or a movie ? +not bad , any other ideas ? +well , there is a play on campus this weekend . +good idea . that ' s why i think i have culture . you have any other suggestions ? +what's the matter with these ideas ? +They are good , but i still need a few more . +what about going on a picnic ? +Cool , but what if the weather is not ideal ? +you can also take her to the art museum or a cafe . Certainly , i must come up with something you can use . how do you like the ideas i am giving you ? +they are all good . +Hi , Sue . What's up ? +Hey , Andrew . How's everything with work ? +Ok , I guess . My boss has been on my back recently . +Really ? What's he been doing ? +You know , just giving me lots to do . I'm really busy right now . +Are you ? What are you busy with ? +Oh , lots of things . Mostly training new people . +Hey , Karen . Look like you got some sun this weekend . +Yeah ? I guess so . I spent the weekend at beach . +That ’ s great . Where did you stay ? +Some friends of my parents live out there , and they invited me there . +So , what did you do out there ? I mean besides bask in the sun , obviously . +I jogged up and down the beach and played volleyball . You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand . I couldn ’ t get through a whole game before I had to sit down . +Not to mention cooler . Did you go swimming ? +I wanted to , but the water is too cold , and I just wetted in up to my knees . +It all sounds so relaxing . I wish I could get away to the beach like that . +It looks like you could use it . Don ’ t tell me you spent the weekend in the library again . +Jenny , are you having fun here ? +Yes , of course . This is really a nice party with wonderful people and lovely wines . +I ’ m glad you ’ re enjoying it . +Thank you for the invitation . +It ’ s my pleasure . Would you like another glass of champagne ? +Yes , please . Thank you for everything . +Excuse me , do you know where the visa office is ? +Yes , I do . I ’ ll walk you there . +Thanks . +Are you applying to study or work abroad ? +I want to study abroad . +What do you want to study ? +I hope to study English Literature . +Have you got your visa yet ? +Not yet . I have an interview with a visa official today . +I see.Is it your first interview ? +No , I ’ Ve already been here for 3 interviews . +Do you have a park in the city ? +Yes , there is a lake in the park . It is very beautiful . +That ’ s great . We can go boating on the lake in the afternoon . +It ’ s a good idea . But I am afraid it ’ s too cold . It is very windy on the lake . +Then we can take a walk and enjoy the scenery in the park . +It is difficult for old people to do away with old ideas . +So the reform can not be carried out well . +The government is making efforts to change situation . +Easier said than done . +The sun is up ! Time for all the campers to rise . Time to get paddling . +Oh , no ! No more paddling ! My arms are sore ! +Do not worry . Today will be easier . +Beth , what date is today ? +Today is Saturday . +What is the date today ? +Today is July 4th . +Oh , i almost forgot . Today is my mom's birthday . +Call her on my cell phone . Wish her “ Happy Birthday ! ” Tell her you are out exploring the great American wilderness . Tell her I said she is lucky to be born on Independence Day . +Thanks ! I will do that ! When is your birthday ? +It is December 25th . +Wow ! What a lucky girl ! Your birthday is on Christmas Day . +Yes , I am lucky . I was born on Christ ’ s birthday . Maybe that is why I usually go to church on Sundays . When is your birthday ? +April 2nd . I missed being a target of a lot of jokes by one day . I guess I am lucky , too ! +That is true ! Here , have some Granola for breakfast . +Thanks . +After eating , we will take down our tent . Then we will pack everything into the canoe , We can shove off by 6 +I guess so . +How about going for swim around 10 +That should work out great . You are miracle worker ! You have got me awake and motivated . +Happy Independence Day ! +Jane , what do think about this dinner ? +Very good ! Chinese food rules ! I expect the next time . +The band is pretty good . How do you like the music ? +it's very nice . I haven't heard live music in a while . This is fun . +well , then , may I invite you for the next dance ? +of course . But I'm afraid I'm not much of a dancer ... +don't worry . I'm not much of a dancer myself . +you're dancing so well . +you dance beautifully too . +when did you learn to dance ? +in college . But I don't dance very often . What's your favourite dance ? +it's hard to say . It depends . But I love the waltz . +how about tango ? +oh , I like it . It's such a beautiful dance , but I can't do it well . What about you ? +Tango is my favorite . Anything but hip-hop or the foxtrot . +thank you for the dance . +my pleasure . Let's go and have a drink . +ok . +Bang ? ! Bang ! Bang ! What are the Kings doing at seven o ’ clock on Sunday morning ? +Well , Mr . King is singing . +Yes , but what ’ s the banging noise ? +He ’ s standing on a ladder and banging some nails into the wall with a hammer . Now he ’ s hanging some strong strings on the nails . +And what ’ s Mrs . King doing ? +She ’ s bringing something pink for Mr . King to drink . Now she ’ s putting it ... OK . +What ’ s happening ? +The ladder ’ s falling ? +What ’ s Mr . King doing ? +He ’ s hanging from the string . He ’ s holding onto the string with his fingers and shouting to Mrs . King . +And is she helping him ? +No , she ’ s running toward our house . That ’ s her ringing the bell . +Well , I ’ m not going to answer it . I ’ m sleeping . +Mr . Wilson , here's a present for you . +Oh , you are so nice . What a lovely scarf . +I hope you will like it . +Of course , I like it very much . Thank you . +Would you like to go to the theater with me tomorrow ? +Yes , of course . Have you got the tickets ? +That's coincidence , someone's just returned two tickets and I picked them . +Matinee or evening ? +Evening . +Circle or stalls ? +Stalls . +Wonderful , I'll go with you . +I need to find somewhere to park . +Off campus or on campus ? +I need to find a space on campus . +Why don't you park in the parking structure for students ? +Where is the parking structure at ? +It's on the west side of the campus . +Do you know if the parking structure is full or not ? +It was empty last time I went up there . +How long ago was that ? +I went up there early this morning . +Do you think it'll be full now ? +It might be . You'll have to go see for yourself . +Shall we go to cinema this evening ? The new blockbuster starring mel gibson is showing . It ’ s supposed to be really good . +What kind of movie is it ? I don ’ t like many of his movies , actually . +It ’ s a thriller . It has Julia Roberts playing the female lead . +I like thrillers and I like Julia Roberts , so it might be interesting . I read a review today and the critic didn ’ t seem to be very impressed . +What did the critic say ? +He didn ’ t say it was bad , but he said that it wasn ’ t as good as it could have been , particularly as there were some good actors and actresses in it . +The movie starts at eight o ’ clock , so we have plenty of time to eat and get ready . +Good . Dinner is nearly ready and I ’ d like to watch the news before we go . The Oscars were last night and I want to see the results . +I won ’ t spoil your enjoyment by telling you who won . There were a few surprises . +this is tough to say , Jordan , but I think we should break up . +are you serious ? +yes , I mean it . +but why ? Did I do anything wrong ? +no , we are just too different . This isn ’ t working . +hey , come on . It ’ s too early to say that . We can fix things . +I have thought about it for a while . I think it ’ s time to move on for both of us . +but I still love you . +I ’ m sorry . +I knew this would happen some day ... +then why didn ’ t you talk to me ? +well . It ’ s not all my fault , Anna ... +I don't want to argue with you anymore . This is going to be tough , but Let ’ s try and be friends . +I would like that Anna , but I think I ’ ll need a little space for a bit . +I think we ’ ll be better off if we are apart . +shall we keep Our friendship ? +sure , let ’ s just be friends . +Our company's wei-ya is tomorrow night ! It's your first Chinese New Year in Taiwan--you must be excited ! +Excited ? What's there to be excited about ? It's just another company dinner , right ? +You have no idea ! There's a banquet with prizes , performances ... you name it ! +Really ? What kind of prizes ? +Well , I heard that last year Vivian from accounting won a new car ! +A new car ! You're kidding ! +No , really ! And she told me the secret to winning , wear red underwear ! +Wear red underwear ? ! Does that really work ? Are you going to try it ? +Of course ! I'm not only going to wear red underwear , but I'm going to wear red socks and a red shirt , too ! +Gee , I don't think I own any red underwear , but I can buy some ! +Have you ever witnessed any crimes or accidents ? +I don't quite remember . Why did you ask that ? +I was taking a walk in the park early this morning when suddenly I heard someone calling " help " . I rushed over and saw a man beating a woman . +Oh , my . What did you do ? +I guess I was stunned for a moment , then I quickly ran away to get help . +Did you call the police ? +Yes . Fortunately , I had my cell with me this morning . I called the police as I was running to get people to come to help . +I heard that you went to the concert the day before ? How did you like it ? +It was terrific.The concert was really a hit.The symphony orchestra was so good that I was completely absorbed in their performance . +Who was the conductor ? +Oh , speaking of the conductor , he is indeed a genius.He did a perfect job.His name is Menuhin , a descendent of Russian American immigrants . +Oh , I learned that he is also a legendary violinist . +Absolutely right.He gave a performance of Felix Mendelssohn's violin concerto.That caused a sensation.The audience were stunned by his pure tone . +Obviously you did enjoy the concert . +Yes , I did . +Have you heard about Alice and David ? +No , have they had another fight ? +No , they've got engaged . +You must be joking . Those two ? +Well , my dear , I didn't believe it either . But I got it straight from the horse's mouth . David called me this morning . +So when did this all happen ? +Last weekend , while they were on their ski trip . +Well , I believe it now , and when are they are getting married ? +Next June . +I can hardly believe it . +All the routine work really browns me off . +Oh , come on.You ' Ve just started . +I wish I hadn't chosen this job . +Yuck . The carrots taste awful and salty . Hi sis , how do you like them ? +I like them very much . They are delicious . +Well , you can have all my carrots . +Daniel , hold on for a minute . What are you trying to pull there ? +Nothing . Just that I don't care for these carrots.Hi , sis . , I saw you buy some chocolate cakes . I am done with the main course . It's about time for some dessert . +Oh , you want my chocolate cakes , so to speak ! +No , no , I'm just thinking of some dessert . And I have had enough carrots . +Daniel , carrots contain much Vitamin C . It is good for you . +I know , but chocolate cake is even better . +Oh , stop it ! You know you need vegetables . You will end up fat if you don't watch your diet , now . +Well , actually , I don't mind eating carrots , but chocolate cakes are much better . You know I was born with a sweet tooth . +Oh , no ! I ’ Ve been assigned to work with Jerry for our group project . +Oh ! I heard that he loves to boss people around . +Flowers for my favorite girl . +How did you know that I love red roses ? +That's a secret . Here , let me help you with your coat , and we'll be on our way . +( at the dance ) That band is playing good music . Shall we dance ? +Fine , what do you call this ? +Foxtrot . Oh . you're a good dancer . +Really ? Thank you . I am thinking the same thing about you . +I prefer the old style of dance because I enjoy holding a pretty girl like you closely . +On Saturday night I ’ m going to have a small get-together . +Good . +Would you like to come ? +Do you mean this Saturday ? +Yes , this coming Saturday . +Thanks for inviting me , Jack , but I ’ Ve already made plans for this weekend . I won ’ t be able to come , I ’ m afraid . +I ’ m sorry to hear that . +Yeah , that ’ s too bad . +Well , perhaps , another time . +Hey . I'm a visitor from China . I love your music . It's the best I've ever heard . Will you please spare a little bit of time for me ? +Sure . Thank you for saying that . Actually , those songs were sung for the first time today . I wrote them in the past two months . +Oh , you wrote them all by yourself . That's amazing ! Are you a regular singer here ? +You can say that . But my band and I also sing regularly in several other places , too . +Cool . Your guitar skills are very impressive . How did you learn to play like that ? +I picked up guitar at an early age , maybe around 8 years old . Afterward , I taught myself by listening to some records of top players . +Wow , that's unbelievable ! You play so well , but you've never been to a real teacher . You will definitely be famous in the near future . +Could you come and spend the weekend with us ? +Oh , I'm afraid I can't . I've had a date already . +That's too bad ! +Maybe some other time . +Excuse me . I don't think we have met before . My name is Mary Jenson . +Oh , hello . I'm Bias Chettri . +Good to meet you , Mr Chettri . +Pleased to meet you too , Ms Jenson . +Welcome to our university ’ s fifties anniversary , Sir . Please have a seat . +Thank you . Wow , your school has so many honors . Congratulations ! +Thank you . +Excuse me . I wonder see Dean Mr . Lee first . I was wondering if could you tell me where his office is ? +Certainly . Mr . Lee ’ s office building at the south end of the campus , just beside the library . +Excuse me ? +Let me show you the way . Please follow me . +Thank you very much . It ’ s very kind of you . +My pleasure . +This is it ? +It ’ s up on the second floor . You have to use the stairs . The elevator isn ’ t working . +Finding an excuse is obviously down your alley . And trying to avoid taking care of the children is what you are good at . +Listen , Nancy . If I don't work hard , I will be laid off . +You are passing the buck . I'll be hanged if I ask you to go to the park with us . +Come on , Nancy . Play it cool . I go with you and burn the middle night oil tonight . +Hi , Mr . Zhang . What ’ s wrong ? You don ’ t look so happy . How was your date ? +I was turned down again . It ’ s frustrating . I guess you ’ Ve got to teach me some skills . +Me ? I ’ m even less experienced than you are . +At least you know what American women generally like in a man . +Believe it or not , I guess American women like a man in good shape , which Chinese women may not care about so much . That ’ s my honest opinion . I know you have been trying very hard . +American men are naturally taller than Chinese men . So even if I exercise , there aren ’ t many chances . +No , that ’ s not true . I ’ Ve met two American women who were married to Chinese . But those Chinese look very strong and healthy . So if you exercise more often , I bet it will surely be easier for you to date American girls . How old is Jacky Chan ? He ’ s small and short . But I bet he can have any American woman he wants . +You know , that ’ s going to be a tremendous change for me . Because I never exercise . +Why don ’ t you try then ? Even if it doesn ’ t help you find an American girl , you could still have a stronger and healthier body . You won ’ t lose anything by doing that . +Have you heard that new song by the Beastie Boys ? +Why do you listen to rap ? +It's not much different from that heavy metal music you like so much . +Heavy metal music is a lot different from rap music.You can dance to heavy metal . +Hey , you can dance to rap music ! +I can't dance to it . And I know you can't either . Because I've seen you try . +What's your new girlfriend like ? +Katherine ? Well , she's good at languages . +Does she know how to speak Spanish ? +She knows how to speak Spanish and Japanese . +Wow ! ! ! +And she's good at sports , too . She knows how to play tennis and basketball . +That's terrific ! +But there's one thing she's not good at . +What's that ? +She's not good at remembering things . We have a date , and she's an hour late ! ! +Are these your text books ? Biochemistry , General Ecology , Botany , Cell Genetics , Molecular Genetics ... +Yes . I gotta review all of them for the final exam . It is just around the corner . +Oh , right ! Do you have many exams at the end of each semester ? +That depends . Some semesters have many , some don't . And some courses don't have exams but only ask for papers . That's easy . +And when do you prepare for your final exam ? +Honestly speaking , most students prepare it one month before the exam . +Really ? You only review your lessons in one month ? Does it work ? +Of course , it's useful . And it's very crucial to have the copies of teacher's notes , because most questions in the exam are based on them . +Wow , and all the key points are included in them ? You're so smart ! +But the exam is not as simple as you may imagine . We have to stay up late . +Do you have the classrooms open for the whole night ? +Yes , some people even pack up his bed quilt and sleep there . That's a little bit crazy . +What's today's date ? +It's January . +You know , Mary , I feel we meet somewhere before . Where were you born ? +I was born in Beijing , but I spent most of my childhood in London . +What was your childhood like ? +I had a pretty strict upbringing , and my parents taught at universities so they have extremely high expectations for me . +Where did you go to university ? +My parents wanted me to stay in Beijing , but I decided to go back to England . I graduated from University of Newcastle upon Tyne with a degree in Cross Culture Communication . +What is your current occupation ? +I am a journalist . I write for China Daily . +Did you know that you wanted to be a journalist right after your graduation ? +No , I didn ’ t . I started working at a university in London but as time went by , I found I did not really like my job . I decided to explore other fields . Journalism is great fit for me as well as a challenge . +Do you like your current job ? +Yes , I came to Beijing two years ago looking for new opportunities . I was lucky because my friend introduced me to my current company . +Do you want a cigarette ? +No , thank you . I've given up , you know . +You don't mind if I have one . +Well , all tight . But you know , smoking does do harm to your health . +Yes , you are right . +Why don't you try and give it up ? +I've tried to give up smoking several times , but it's no use . +Hey , Jordan , is that you ? Long time no see ! +Oh , hey , no kidding ! I haven't seen you since orientation three months ago ! So how've you been ? Settling into college life OK ? +Yeah , I think so ! I pledged Phi Iota Alpha , so I'm living at the frat house now . +Oh , so you're a frat boy now , huh ? +Yeah , yeah , I know , it's totally cliche , but really , I think it's been a good decision . I've got a lot of support and good suggestions from the guys . What about you ? What have you been up to ? +Not much . I'm still living at home and commuting to school . I ended up dropping that metalworking class I was so excited about . It just wasn't as interesting as I'd hoped . The guidance counselor suggested that I focus on my prerequisite courses so that I can make sure the credits count . +That sounds smart ... but kind of boring . +Yeah , it is , a little bit . I joined the Great Outdoors Club , though , which has been a lot of fun . We've gone on two camping trips already , and I've made some good friends . +That's cool . Hey , so have you decided on your major yet ? +Definitely pre-med . What about you ? +I still have no clue ... but we don't have to declare a major till our sophomore year , so I've got time ! Oops , I'm late for class . Gotta run ! +OK , take care ! Hey , nice running into you ! +Yeah , you too ! +Whatever we do , we should do it above board . +You are right . We shouldn't do anything under the table . +Well , since you agree with me , we should put the issue above board instead of talking about it through other channels . +How did you get into hip hop ? +Well , all my friends listen to it , so I became a big fan too . +Who is your favorite hip hop artist ? +I'm a big fan of Snoop Dog . +It ’ s over . +What is over ? +Our relationship . I mean my friend and I ... +Any reasons ? +The cause is another boy . +Oh , that ’ s too bad . +How did you do on your BELTS exam ? +Fantastic ! I got an overall score of eight . +That's excellent ! Have you received your conditional offers yet ? +Yes . I'm just waiting until I officially get admitted to the university with a conditional offer to apply for my visa . +Do you know where the visa office is ? +No . +It's just near the Dong Si Shi Tiao subway stop . +We ’ Ve been over this a thousand times . The data is irrefutable ! Look , we ’ Ve done extensive research , built studies , and read the literature , and there is conclusive evidence to support my theory ! +Horowitz , I beg to differ . Even in your most recent study , the investigative approach was flawed ! You know as well as I do that the collection of data was not systematic , and there is a large margin of error . To draw a definitive conclusion based on that data would be misleading +That is preposterous ! +You are trying to single-handedly solve one of the world ’ s greatest mysteries , and yet you are oblivious to the fact that you are wrong ! +I am not wrong ! The chicken came first ! +No ! The egg came first ! +My husband goes out drinking with his friends every night . I'm fed up with it . +Maybe you two should go see a marriage counselor . +Charles , have you finished your homework ? +Not yet , Grandma , What's the matter ? +I want you to have a walk with me . +I'll finish soon . +Did you lock the doors ? +All except the back door . I left that open for Tim . He took the dog for a walk . +Well , I ’ m going on to bed . I ’ m beat . +Ok , I ’ m going to stay up awhile . I ’ Ve got to go over the household budget , We ‘ re a little over-spend this month . +Please told Tim to close the door to the basement . I don ’ t want dog down there tonight . +Ok , Good night , see you at breakfast . +Have you ever played Making ? +Not really , but I know it is very popular a traditional Chinese gambling game . +Yes , some friends play it all day , all night , and sometimes a whole weekend . I tried to read about some basic rules online , but it is hard to understand . So I went to watch people play yesterday only to find I was even more confused . I think I have to work hard on those rules and more learning by doing . Practice makes the master . +Typical Francis , whether you are at work , or engaged in leisure time activities , you always show the same eagerness and curiosity to learn something new and improve yourself . +It is important to keep your mind up-to-date and active . +My German teacher thought it would be a good idea to have German pen friends to write to in German . +What a great idea ! Now you have a friendly audience to practice with ! +The only thing is that my pen friend will be writing in English . +Oh , he wants to practice his language skills , too . +That's right . And it's a B that I'll be writing too . Her name is Olga . +Maybe Olga can introduce you to some of her friends who can write to you in German and you can do the same for her with your friends to write her in English . +That's a great idea ! Why didn't I think of that ? +I don't know , but you know how to surround yourself with great friends ! +I just had a terrible week . +What a shame ! +I fell down and hurt my arm . +That's too bad . +Then my son drove into a tree +I'm sorry to hear that . +The dog bit the delivery boy . +What a pity ! +And a storm blew our roof away . +Ho , no ! +Hi , Jenny . You look like you are in a hurry to somewhere . Where are you going ? +I am going to the bank . I need to cash some checks . +That's great . We can go to the bank together . +Why are you going there ? +I will go to Japan on business for 5 days next Tuesday . I want to exchange some Japanese yen . +I see . Will you bring a lot of money with you ? +Not really . I plan to bring some cash and withdraw money at the ATM in Japan . +Do you have the bank card in Japan ? +Nope . You can use the credit card to withdraw the money in foreign countries . +That sounds really convenient . Do you pay extra money to enjoy this service ? +No . It is free of charge . +Great ! I will apply for a credit card when I go to the bank later . +I think we are running out of time . The bank is going to close soon . +Does she make any sense to you ? +No . It's all Greek to me . +She's speaking French , not Greek . +I know that . I mean I couldn't understand her at all . +Me neither . All I have to do is study French hard . +I wish you the best of luck . +Do you love me ? +I ’ m very fond of you . +Yes , but do you love me ? +Why ? You mean a lot to me . +Why didn ’ t you answer my question ? +What question ? +Do you love me ? Come on , I ’ m eager to hear . +You know that I care for you . I---I ’ m proud of you . +Don ’ t cherish your words , dear . +I---I don ’ t feel like saying it +What do you do in your spare time ? +I have many hobbies . I like almost all kinds of sports and I also like to listen to classical music . +What kinds of sports do you like ? +I like playing basketball . Basketball is a very exciting game because it keeps you alert and I also enjoy the team spirit of basketball . +Who is your favorite author ? +I like the novels of Dickens very much . I've read almost all of them in Chinese translation . +Are you a music lover ? +Yes , I like listening to Beethoven's works . +What kinds of films do you enjoy ? +I like all kinds as long as they are exciting . +Do you have any hobbies ? What is it or what are they ? +I am interested in watching TV or other relaxing games . +How do you spend your spare time ? +I usually read or entertain myself . +What kind of books are you interested in ? +My favorite books are those about detectives . +Well , those books are really good . I like them too . How do you entertain yourself ? +When it comes to the entertainment , I think I enjoy dancing . There is nothing I like more than modern dance . +It depends on where you are and what position you are in . For instance , if you are in an elevator and you smile , you will make other takers uncomfortable . +That ’ s an exception . But I am fed up with those who keep a straight face in front of me . +I cannot see eye to eye with you here . You see , I am fed up with those who keep smiling to me . I mean , they smile for no reason at all . +That means you don ’ t like them . If you hit it off with them , you will like to see their smiles . +It's nice and bright today , isn't it ? +Yeah.The autumn is marvelous here . +How about winter ? +That's a hard time.The air is cold and damp , and the road is often icy . +It's boring , right ? +Sure . +Do you get much rain during the summer ? +Plenty.We never worry about lack of rainwater in our area . +So you should bring an umbrella often . +That's right . +I ’ m betting the New York Yankees win . How about you ? +Well , I ’ m favor of the Red Sox . They ’ Ve had a good season . +Sorry , guys . Could I just interrupt for a moment ? My money is on the Yankees ! +That ’ s not a very good pick . I ’ m against the Yankees . +Hey , Ken . Good luck if you already put your money on the Red Sox . +Yeah , I ’ m with you on that . +When in Rome , do as the Romans do , they say . +What do the Romans do ? +They live in Rome , of course , and go to work by car or bus . But sometimes it takes too long that way because of the traffic jams , so they walk . +In other words , the Romans do what everyone else does . +Yes , but they do it differently . Everything is different . +What do you mean ? +Well , the climate's different for a start . It doesn't rain so much as it does in England . The sun shines more often . +I envy them the sun . +I know . You hate the rain , don't you ? +I certainly do . +And a Roman really Ioves life . Eye knows how to enjoy himself . +They always eat spaghetti and drink wine , don't they ? +Not always . But they like a good meal . Lots of tourists go to Rome just for the food , you know . +Really ? How much does it cost to fly to Rome ? +I don't know exactly , but it costs a lot of money . +What does your mother do , may I ask ? +My mother works in a company as an accountant . +Is she busy ? +Not always , she's rather busy at the end of the year . +Please fill out the form . +All right . ... What's the date today , please ? +It's August the thirteenth . +Are you going to the cafeteria downstairs ? +Yes . +Could you please get me a takeaway ? I have some urgent work to finish . So I don ’ t have enough time to go out for lunch . +No problem . What should I bring ? +I am not picky on food . Just bring me the day menu . +So , are you enjoying the performance so far ? +Well , the costumes and the set are marvellous , but the acting is a bit stiff . What do you think ? +I think you're being a little critical . The actor in the lead role is fantastic . I suppose the chorus could be a bit better , though . +Do you know anyone in the play ? +Actually , the woman playing Ophelia is a past classmate of mine . +Really ? Is that why you wanted to come to the play ? +That's only part of it . I absolutely adore this director . Every play he works on turns out great . +So you've seen other plays that he's directed ? +Quite a few actually . By the way , after the play , there's always a big party for the cast and their friends . My friend has invited us . Do you want to go ? +Sure , I'd love to meet the cast ! Have you ever been in a play ? +I've never had a part in a play before , but I used to be a part of the stage crew in high school . +What did you do ? +I helped build the sets and find props for the plays . What about you ? +I once helped out with costumes , but I didn't enjoy it very much . +Why not ? +I spent over three weeks sewing sequins on a coat . +That sounds kind of boring . Oh , look . They're dimming the lights . I think we should get back to our seats for the second half of the play . +Many congratulations on your winning the game . +That ’ s very kind of you , but it ’ s nothing special . +You were doing great out there ! +Well , actually it ’ s just about luck . +That's good to know . We'll watch for crazy drivers . +Hey , guys . Ready for a pick-up game of touch football ? +Football ? Sounds dangerous . Maybe I'll just be a cheerleader . +C'mon , Yi-jun . It's lots of fun . You've seen football played on TV . +Uh , yeah . And I've seen guys in pads tackled . We have no pads . I don't want to be tackled . +There's barely any contact in touch football . People just tag you to stop the play . +OK , but they better tag lightly ! +Hi , Cindy . I thought I ’ d missed you . +Oh , I am very sorry , Hans . Thank you for waiting for me . You must have been here a long time already . +It ’ s all right . +I was caught in the heavy rain , or I would have come earlier . I am sorry I kept you waiting . +I was in a comfortable place , so really , it ’ s no problem . I am happy to see you . Did the rain hold you up long ? +Yes . When I came out of the subway , it was raining cats and dogs . And I forgot my umbrella . So I had to wait for the rain to let up . +I totally understand . +How's your thesis going ? +Don't mention it . The thesis due date is coming , but my thesis isn't even close to being done . +I've finished the first draft , but the professor said it's poorly written . I have to rewrite it . it's so depressing . +Don't worry . Anyway , you are better than me . +I am trying to decide what school to apply to ? +Are you thinking about a public school or a private one ? +I am not sure . What's the difference between them ? +Public schools are usually state funded , whereas private schools usually get their funding elsewhere . +Which is better ? +One isn ’ t necessarily better than the other . It depends a lot on the school administration and the teachers . +I hear you have to wear uniforms at private school . +Yes , sometimes . +You'll soon graduate from your university . Do you have any plans for the future ? +I'm planning to go to graduate school , but I also want to find a job . Otherwise , I'll have nowhere to go if I fail the entrance exam . +Do you have a clear career path to follow ? +career path ? I'm not sure . +what kind of job do you want after graduation ? +I want to become a professor , a lawyer , an editor , a civil servant ... +wait ! You can't do so many things at the same time . What exactly do you want ? +I don't know . Do you have any advice for me ? +yeah , you should first decide what kind of career you really want , plan your career path , and then try your best to achieve your goal . +I think perhaps I need to buy a few years while I figure out about my career . +no , you can't waste your time wandering around . If you want a job that requires a higher degree or diploma , you should focus on your graduate school entrance exam ; if you want a job that needs working +thank you so much for your advice . I'll think it over . +Look at these clothes designed by top fashion designer like Versacci , Calvin Klein , and Vivienne Westwood . What do you think of them ? +Well , they look lovely , but they ’ re not very practical . I mean , would you wear that dress to the office or walking down the street ? +I know what you mean . People would stare at you in amazement if you wore something like that in an everyday situation . I suppose only extravagant rich people wear them at cocktail parties . +Maybe . I ’ m not sure why they have fashion shows like this . Hardly anyone will buy those clothes . The clothes you see are nothing like the ones that ordinary people wear . It seems like a waste of money . +I think that the designers hold these fashion shows for a few reasons . First , it ’ s just like a big party . They can meet each other and network . The other thing is that it is great advertising . All the journalists and photographers are there . Thirdly , it give them a chance to show what they would like to see people wearing . +You meant it ’ s an expression of their fantasies ? +Yes . I think the designers are saying that these clothes are what they would like to see people wear if those people weren ’ t concerned with what other people might think . In a way , the designers are saying ‘ don ’ t worry about what others think . Wear what you like ! ’ . +Very philosophical . I think they design these clothes more for publicity . They try to see who can be the most extreme and outrageous , but still stylish . +Come on . All this fashion has reminded me that I want to buy some clothes . +David , I ’ m going to China . +Really ? How do you get the chance ? +You know . I took part in the Chinese contest . I was the best and they gave me this reward . I don ’ t have to pay for my trip . +Congratulations . How lucky you are ! +Thank you . I ’ m leaving tomorrow morning . +I ’ m sure you ’ ll enjoy the trip . China is such a beautiful country . +I ’ m sure I will . +Have a nice journey , Lily . +Thank you , David . +Dora , are you interested in going to the museum with me tomorrow ? I read the newspaper this morning . I know there is an art exhibition in Taipei Modern Art Museum . +Sure . I am free tomorrow . It sounds interesting to me . Can we buy the ticket online ? +I don't think so . I think we had better go there earlier , or we may have to spend a lot of time waiting . +I guess that is the thing we can do with we really want to visit the museum . +Look at the ticket booth in the center . There seems to be not as many people as we thought it would be . +Yeah . We are lucky . Let's go buy the tickets first . We can have breakfast later . I am so hungry . +Good idea . +( After the breakfast ) Which floor is the art exhibition we are going to ? +I have no idea . Let me take a closer look at my museum map +Sure , take your time . We have a whole day . +It's on the 2nd floor . We are going to see some beautiful paintings about the history of ancient Greece . +Look at the museum guide.It says there are also some sculptures and potteries in this area . Let's rent an audio guide . +Good afternoon ! +Good afternoon ! Sit down , please.How are you ? +I'm very well , thank you.How are you ? +Very well too , thank you very much.Isn ' t it a lovely day ? +Yes , it's beautiful , but it's also very hot . +Yes . +What's the weather like in your country ? +Mm ... It's quite warm now . +Where do you live ? +In London.Where do you live ? +Here.Near this school . +I've been looking forward to the new semester . +I hope we can make great progress in this new semester . +Hope so . +I hear we'll have a new English teacher this semester . +Really ? I hope we will do much better under her guidance . +I am sure we will . +Post office offer lots of services nowadays , don ’ t they ? Years age , you only really used the post office to send mail , save money , and send or collect money . +Nowadays , they offer so many services , you hardly know which one to choose . Take mailing for example . Do you send something first class or second class or do you use EMS ? +I save money in a post office saving account . There used to be just one kind of account , but now there are several . They each have different conditions and interest rates . +You can buy things at post office that were never sold there before . You can buy sweets and chocolates , newspapers , birthday and Christmas cards ... +Post offices are still the place to go to collect welfare benefits , like unemployment benefit and child support benefit . The queue are very long on the days when people collect those payment . +My son likes going to the main post office . They have a philately counter where he can buy stamps for his collection . +Do you think that the service at post offices has improved ? +I think it ’ s better for some things , like sending and receiving money , but if you need to post something it sometimes takes longer than it used to . +I like being able to buy newspapers and magazines at the post office . It means that I don ’ t need to go to two places +She is really pretty , isn't she ? Her skin looks so baby-smooth ! +Well , it's just that she put a lot of makeup on her face . Actually , natural beauty comes from within . +Ah , I can smell jealousy in the air . +She has nothing that deserves my jealousy . I don't have to put things on my face and I still look pretty . Don't you think so ? +Yeah , right . But what did you put on your face last night ? Those little greenish things . +They are cucumbers . They are natural skin soothers , natural healers of the skin.Haven ' t you heard them say on TV that ... eh ... they soften the skin , wipe out the roughness , counter irritation and build strength and resilience ? +Yeah , yeah , yeah ! They wipe out tight , tired feelings and remove lines and age signs . Blah , blah ... See , I can even recite it . +That's right . You have learned a lot , haven't you ? +It sounds that you have a high opinion of him . +He is an all-right guy . I have no bone to pick with him . +Birds of feather flock together . +But he is not a fine wether friend who could sell you down the river . +You cannot judge a person that way . I have a hunch that he is a sly dog . +Depends on with whom . He may be doing things on the sly , but he is honest with me . I trust him . +You can never tell . He might do you in when he sees an angle in doing it . +Welcome ! Welcome to Little Italy . We're the most Italian family here ! +So I've heard . That's why I'm having such a great time . +If I hadn't married an Italian man , I probably wouldn't be pregnant so often . And maybe I could raise pigs instead of bambinos ! +Huh ? Um ... well , it's nice to see that some people still have big families . +It is nice , but it would be nicer if my macho husband would get off his tush and help me . Ha-ha ... Have this . It's from Italy ! +What was that noise ? +It was the pilot putting the wheels down.We must be coming into land.Are you frightened ? +Frightened ? You must be joking ! +Two people were robbed last night near the park . +Again ? The area around the park is too dark at night . There should be more lights there . +I am afraid of the dark . I don ’ t feel safe in the dark . I feel someone is hiding in the dark to attack me . +Your feelings might be right . You should never walk alone there at night . It is too dangerous . +I Know . And you should be more careful , too . +Well , that's it . 7 appointments in Paris at beginning of next week , and 4 in Frankfurt at the end of the week . +It's certainly a tight schedule . +Now it's a question of getting there . I need a flight to Paris on Sunday evening and a hotel in Paris for 3 nights . I have to be in Frankfurt by 11 on Thursday morning . And I will need a hotel for one night . I will head home on Friday . +At what time ? +My last appointment is at 3 , so I should be free by 5 at the very latest . I think I could get to the airport by 6 . +Do you know how far you will be from the airport at 5 ? +No , not really . +So you are not sure how long it will take to get there ? +No , but I am sure it won't take more than an hour . +Don't forget it's Friday nighty . If Frankfurt's anything like London , everybody will be leaving for the weekend . It will be a rush hour and traffic might be moving very slowly . +You are a pessimist . +I am a realist . +What is the best place to park ? +What vehicle do you usually bring to school ? Is it an automobile or a motorbike ? +I drive a motorcycle . +OK . That means you can park in the student lot or on the street . Have you seen the handicapped spots ? +I am not sure what a handicapped spot is . +Look for the blue signs and blue marked spaces . Do you usually park in the daytime or the evening ? +I park days and evenings . +Be careful about the time limits on the streets . Have you seen the signs for time limits ? +What signs ? +As long as you are careful reading the signs , you will always know how long you can park and what days are OK to park there . Are you aware of the curb colors ? +What curb colors ? +If you can remember that red means absolutely no parking and white means that you can only load and unload , you are going to be OK . +Would you like to play golf with me ? +I would like to . but I'm not good at it . +It doesn't matter . I will teach you . +That's great ! When will we go ? +Borrow morning . +All right . What should I take ? +Just take your golf club . I will pick you up Borrow . +Thanks . I will wait you at my home . +See you Borrow . +Hi , Mike , what gives ? +Hi , Bill , this is my new car . +Hey , great set of wheels . +You like it , huh ? +Who wouldn't ? Wow , that's out of this world . +It is special , isn't it ? +Yeah , too cool . How much did they sold you for ? +Lots . Looks like I'll have to moonlight for the next two years . +I can imagine . +Hey , let's go for a spin . You can try it out . +I'd love to . +Ok , let's go . +Would you like to go to the natural history museum with me ? +Have you ever been to it before ? +Yes , lots of time . I was quite impressed by the wide variety of exhibitions they have . +Let's go . It sounds interesting . +Oh , my god ! My wallet is lost . What should I do ? It drives me bonkers . +Dear , don ’ t worry . The police can help you . +Good morning , Mr.Jones ! +Good morning , Miss Bell ! +Nice to see you again . +Nice to see you too . It's been a long time . +How is everything ? +Just fine , and you ? +Quite well , thank you . +Did you drive yourself to the airport ? +No , I was driven by my husband . +Did someone meet you at the airport here ? +Yes , thanks . +Is this where we'll be holding the meeting ? +No , the meeting will be held on the fourth floor . +Is there a lot of snow in this region at this time of the year ? +Yes , the snow is often falling thick and fast here . +Well , I think I like it . I appreciate the snow very much . +Yes , It's really so beautiful with all the things covered by snow . +By the way , where can I go ski ? +There are so many places around . Take a look at the advertisement . +Hi , Sandra . how was your weekend ? +Great ! I went hiking in the mountains on Saturday . +Fantastic ! how was that ? +Really good ! you should try it sometime . +I might . what did you do yesterday ? +Uh , nothing much , just went to bed early . I was still tired from Saturday . +Do you know that scientists replicated a sheep into an identical clone . +I heard about that . It was successful . +It's a big jump in science . Maybe more like a leap . +I should say , it stunned me . I can't imagine what they will think of next . +She has contributed to a new school . +Oh , I know . She is a famous woman and a focus of the newspaper now because of this thing . +I hear the school is very modern . It has the best equipments . +Yes . Do you know its name . +She said she would name it after her father . +Oh , I think she wants to do this thing in memory of her father . +What are you doing over the weekend ? +I'm planing to go bolling tonight.Tomorrow I was hoping to see a movie.What about you ? +I want to go camping , you know , just get a way for the weekend .

We just made a record sale this season . +That is very encouraging news . I heard that the marketing department has done a three months research , they sent the feedback information to the research and development center by the end of every month . That is to say , the R & D center redesigned the product twice before it was launched into the market . +It is not an easy job . How do you like the advertisement for the new product ? +That is the best one I have seen . I am sure our target customers , young people will love it . +Certainly . +Mary , I think we should stop seeing each other . +But , Bob , we were so good together . +I'm sorry but it's for the best . +I don't understand . We were getting along so well . +Do you like jazz , Tom ? +No , I don't like it very much . Do you ? +Well , yes , I do . I'm a real fan of Wanton Marsalis . +Oh , does he play the piano ? +No , he doesn't ! ! ! He plays the trumpet . So , what kind of music do you like ? +I like rock a lot . +Who's your favorite group ? +The Cranberries . I love their music . How about you ? Do you like them ? +No , I don't . I can't stand them ! ! +Ugh . Another advertisement . They ’ Ve added two hours of advertisements to a two hours movie . +Yeah . We ’ re never going to get to the end of this one . +Why are we watching it anyway ? +Well , it does have a lot of girls in it . +True . True . +Do you think Bruce Willis just drank a Coke for his health ? +Really ? Did Coke pay him for that ? +Of course . +You want something to drink ? +Yeah , Got a Coke ? +Sure . +Hurry , the movie is coming back on . +Good morning ! +Good morning , Gav ! Did you sleep well last night ? +I slept like a baby . I fell asleep right away last night , didn't wake up once , and didn't have any nightmares ! +That's great news ! You look much more relaxed than you did yesterday . +I feel much better , but I'm still worried about something . +What's that ? +Well , I have to drive to school for a meeting this morning , and I'm going to end up getting stuck in rush-hour traffic . +That's annoying , but nothing to worry about . +For me , traffic jams are quite stressful , because I'm pretty impatient . How can I prevent myself from getting stressed if I get stuck in a traffic jam ? +Just breathe deeply when you feel yourself getting upset . +Ok , I'll try that . +Is there anything else bothering you ? +Just one more thing . A school called me this morning to see if I could teach a few classes this weekend and I don't know what to do . +Do you have any other plans this weekend ? +I'm supposed to work on a paper that'd due on Monday . +Try not to take on more than you can handle . +You're right . I probably should just work on my paper . Thanks ! +Speaking of classical music , we should never forget about the New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic . +Of course not . People all over the world watch it on TV , or listen to it on the radio . +Sure . It's one of the biggest classical music events . Have you ever been to the live show ? +Yes , I went to the New Year ’ s Concert in 2010 . +Wow , you're so lucky . I saw it on TV . But it must be so different to be there in the concert hall . +That's for sure . You know , I had the greatest time ever . +It seems to me that you are on very good terms with him . +We actually met at a dance party . He fell for me . +He must be all over you the first time he saw you . +He said that I put all other girls in the shade . +That means he was head over heels in love with you . +Well , he indeed likes me . +But I think he can't hold a candle to you . I don't think he has ever popped the question . +No , he is the sort of man who likes to hide his candle under a bushel . +How about the matter ? +I heard it has been finally settled under the rose . +It ’ s the only way to preserve her reputation . +Yeah , fortunately it did not cause a disaster . +can I see your passport , please ? +is this line for non-residents ? +yes it is . Residents can queen up in the lines to my right . +Ok . Here's my passport . +what's the expiration date on your passport ? +I think it's soon , maybe in a few months . It was renewed in Beijing , so the new expiry date is on the last page . +I see . Yes , you'll need to renew your passport in a few months . Make sure you don't let it expire while you are in the UK . +I won't . +do you have anything to declare ? +no , I don't have anything to declare . +how long will you be staying in the UK ? +I'll be here for about a year . +what is the purpose of your stay ? +I'll be studying . I'm doing an MBA at Nottingham University . +where will you be staying ? +I have a housing contract with the university . I'll be in a dorm room on campus . +how do you plan on paying for your living costs and tuition fees while you are here ? +my father has already paid for that in advance . Here are the receipts . +ok . Have a good day . Here's your passport and documents back . +thank you very much . +I can't even imagine you snorkeling ! +Well , you'll see . With this new watch , I can go anywhere , do anything . +OK , Bond . +No , really . Look . It's got a double time zone setting . +So you can always keep two times at once ? +Yep . I just can't decide what two cities to choose ... +The only two times you need are I'm late and I'm really late . +Going to the cafeteria ? +No , I am not eating there anymore . I have ordered my favorite food in the restaurant around the corner . The food served in the cafeteria is not my type . I am a total meat lover . But the cafeteria is doing its best to force me to be a vegetarian . They have been serving the Chinese cabbage and white gorse for three days . Haven ’ t you noticed that ? +That ’ s fine with me . I don ’ t hate vegetables and I don ’ t eat much during lunch . +Well , then the cafeteria suits you best . But anyway , if you like to have a lunch outside the company , feel free to join me anytime . +I am going to give you an end-of-the-unit test this Friday . Please be prepared for it . +Would you please tell us how to review our lessons ? +Review all the lessons in this unit and see if you can understand the main idea of each lesson . +Any other requirements ? +Phrases and sentence patterns are also very important . You should know how to use them . +Should we remember all the new words and expressions ? +Certainly . +Sorry , I don't quite understand some difficult points in this unit . I wonder if you could help us to solve the problems . +Well . When you review your lessons , mark the places which you don't understand , then I will give you some coaching . +When shall we have a coaching period ? +How about tomorrow ? +Ok . +What do you think of smoking ? +It's harmful . Not only for yourself but for others . +What in your opinion can be done to stop smoking ? +Stop producing cigarettes . +But that'll affect the national economy . +That's right.But I don't think there are better ways . +How about printing a warning on each cigarette packet ? +Maybe it can take effect . +Are you ready ? +Yes . +Who can tell us something about the author's life ? Volunteer ? +The author was a famous writer , and he was also a politician . He was born in 1911 and died in 1985 . +Very good . Sit down , please . Susan , what's the general idea of the text ? +Can I answer it in Chinese ? +No , you can't . This is an English class , and you have to express yourself in English . +Let me have a try . The author takes the characters peculiar to the British people as a topic to show that they are quite different from other nationalities . They are quiet , shy and reserved ... +Excellent . Class is over . Let's have a break . +wow ! You're going to Tibet ? +yes , my brothe and I are going . We just finished making our itinerary . +that's really cool ! I've always dreamed of going somewhere like Tibet , seeing something unique . +great minds think alike . My brother and I have been thinking about going to Tibet for quite a long time . Do you have anything on your schedule ? +nothing particular . +why don't you join us ? We are leaving next week ; you'll still have a week to prepare . +oh , Tibet sounds great , but I'm afraid it'll cost too much . Last time I traveled to India , and it cost me a fortune . +come on ! We're traveling on our own . It won't cost too much . +ok , then count me in . where will we stay ? +the youth hotels are comfortable and cheap . +then make sure that you book me a room , too . +I'll take care of it . +and check whether they accept credit cards . +no problem . +Excuse me , I ’ d like to apply for a library card . +Certainly.Here ’ s an application form.Do you have proof of residence ? +What sort of proof do you need ? +A driver ’ s license or something showing that you live in this city . +I ’ m a student from out of state , so I don ’ t have a local driver ’ s license . +Do you have a current electricity or gas bill in your name ? +The phone bill ’ s in my name . +That ’ ll do.Bring the most recent one in with your completed application , and we ’ ll issue you a temporary library card right away . +How long will it take to get the regular one ? +It ’ ll be mailed to you within two weeks , but you can borrow books on the temporary card . +Okay.Thanks for your help . +See you later , alligator . +In a while , crocodile . +How did you meet your boyfriend , Cindy ? +We were in the same science class last term . +Who made the first move ? +I did . +Wow ! +It was no big deal . +What do your parents think of your dating a boy ? +They're glad that I finally got a boyfriend . +They're glad ? ! +Hi , my name ’ s Karl . My wife and I are moving in next door . +Hello , Karl . I ’ m Chuck Jones . We ’ re going to be neighbors . +I ’ m happy to meet you . It seems everyone in town is so friendly . +This is a small town , and we like to be neighborly . We know everyone who lives around here . +Well , I ’ m from Chicago . There few people take the time to get to know their neighbors . +So , tell me , Karl , hyoid you come all the way to Minnesota to live ? +We wanted to live in a more peaceful community and have more space . Another reason is , we can afford to buy a home here , but we can ’ t in Chicago ! +I hear that you are in love with Mike . +You are kidding . +Don't you hit it off ? +Although we have many things in common , we'are not soul mates . +Are you going to tell me about the stamp , or not ? +120 British pounds . But there are still three days left in the auction . If you want it , you'll have to bid . Do you have the guts ? +I'm just asking . It's not like I'd actually make a bid . +Just don't come looking to me for help . +Don't worry . I won't . +I'm signing off . +Have fun getting ripped off ! +Have you met John ? +Yeah , he came back from America last week . +Have you noticed how fluently he speaks English ? He has only lived in America for less than three months . +He must have a good ear . +What courses are you going to take next year ? +Well , I am certainly going to take chemistry and physics , but I haven't decided on the other subjects yet . I ’ d like to take English . +Why are you going to take English with chemistry and physics ? +Because I want to study English literature . But I think chemistry is better for getting a job . +Of course it depends on what you are going to do when you leave college . Have you decide what you are going to do when you graduated ? +I am going to be a , well , I hope to be a research chemist . +Does your wife work ? +Yes , she does . She works at home . +Oh , I understand . She cooks , cleans and takes care of children . Is that right ? +Oh , no . Most of the time I do these things . She is a writer . +You are really a hen-pecked husband . +What kind of movies do you like , Sue ? +I like all kinds of stuff . I admit I love romance . +Just like my wife . So , what ’ s your favorite movie ? +You mean my favorite movie of all time ? I guess I ’ d have to say pretty woman . +Yeah , my wife likes that one , too . Personally , I prefer action movies . +What are you thinking about ? +About my boyfriend . +Again ! +You are really a wet blanket . +Hello . Are you a friend of Helen's ? +Actually , a friend of a friend . +My name is Phil . What's yours ? +Alecia . +Have you tried these little ditties ? They are really good . +Thanks . They look delicious . +Can I get you some punch ? I was just going to go get myself some . +That would be great . I would love some . +I usually bowl with an eight ball . I like the control of a light ball . I can spin it more , so that the ball hooks . +Well . I like them a little heavier . I don't have as much control , usually bowling straight , but the extra momentum compensates for that . +Well , let's see which technique is better . I think I'll go up first ... Yes ! I hit a strike . I knocked them all down on my first bowl . +Well done . You got them all . You get 10 points and your next two bowls are added to this frame's score . I'II dry my ball off and try to knock them all down as well . +Good start . You knocked eight pins down . But you are left with a 7,10 split . Unless you can bowl a UFO-ball on this bowl , it is going to be impossible . +I certainly can try ... No ! It went straight through the wickets . +Mom , why do chinese people like to touch my head ? sometimes they even touch my cheeks . +That is a part of chinese culture , if they think you are a lovely child , they touch your head and say , how cute you are . +But i donor like it , not a bit , i am not a pet , i am a girl . +Well , you get used to it , different countries have different manners . +But i do not like anyone touch my head . +They are just been in friendly , when you are in Roman , do as the Romans do , that means you need to adapt to your enviroment . +What if everybody in the wheres goes crazy ? +Then you might need to pretend to be a little crazy . +Does this mean that if i might want those new European bitches , i am supposed to wonder run reget ? +Do you think it is a ~ got give your brain , use it if you really cannot accept it people touch your head , keep distance from them , why not just wear your big flyby hat and ~ is anyone get close to you . +That is my work , i will try it . +can I use your laptop for a while ? +sure , go ahead . +oh , isn't your computer Wi-Fi capable ? +yes , it is . You want go online ? there are no wi-fi hotspots around . +oh my , no internet access is killing me . +can't you wait till you get home ? then you can surf the internet using the broadband , wireless connection or whatever you like . +no , I'm not feeling myself . I just want to check my emails , visit my favorite websites and chat with my friends . +now I see , you must be suffering from discomgoogolation . +what does that mean ? there's nothing wrong with me . +well , the term " discomgoogolation " comes from " discombobulate " and " google " . Because floods of information are just a mouse click away , net users are very likely to become addicted to the web . +that's alright . I just can't bear losing track of all the latest information . It almost drives me crazy . +then , you're probably addicted . +so , how's your course going ? Do you like it ? +i like my professors and the classes , but it's a lot of work . +what are you specializing in ? +right now , I'm doing some research into the languages of different African tribes . +that sounds really interesting . Can you speak Swahili ? +yes , I learned how to speak it when I was little . +really ? How did you do that ? +well , I grew up in Africa , so I learned quite a few different languages . +that's amazing . Are you doing well in your classes ? +I don't know because I haven't received my test results yet . +when did you take your exams ? +about two weeks ago . +how do you think you did ? +I left feeling pretty confident about my score , but I heard that my professors are very strict graders , so I'm a bit nervous . +I'm sure you'll do well . Did you study hard ? +You know me ; I'm always studying ! +don't worry . If you don't do well , no one can ! +Thanks for the vote of confidence , Justin ! +Ah ! No ! Damn it ! +It's a blackout . Now I can't see Seinfeld . +So what ? I just lost one hour's worth of work . +Really ? How could you do that ? Don't you save every couple minutes ? +No , I didn't save this time.Damn it ! And I'm sick of writing this paper . Now I have to write it all over again too . +I've had that problem too many times . So I learned to save.When I'm writing something , I save every three sentences or so . I don't want to lose anything . +I hate computers . Sometimes I think they cause more trouble than they're worth . +What are we going to do now ? +I don't know . I feel like going out . +I wonder how much of the city is down . +It doesn't matter . I still can go out and buy a beer . +Maybe . But if there's a blackout , probably the pubs are closed.And besides , I know you have a political science exam tomorrow . I thought you had a lot of reading to do . +Yes , that's true . Damn ! I just lost half my paper , and now I can't even do my homework.This is a bad time for this to happen . +I have a flashlight in my closet . If you want to use that to read , you can . +Mr . Brown , are your children always kicking up a row like this ? I cannot concentrate on my paper . +Sorry , Mr . Black . I ’ m trying to make them quiet . +I ’ m afraid if the noise goes on , I shall have no alternative but to leave . +Sorry , sir . Believe me , everything will be all right . +You mustn't touch the wet paint , Bill . +I'm sorry . I won't do it again . +Try to be more careful in future . +I shall . I wasn't as careless as John Sampson . He walked across that wet cement over there . +The workmen oughtn't to leave it without a no tice . +The headmaster asked them not to do so . +Then why isn't there a notice ? +They went to their stores to get one . Here they come with it now ! +But look at them ! They've forgotten about the wet cement and they're walking across it to put up the notice ! +you don't look too well . Maybe you should take the day off from work . +I couldn't do that . I have an important meeting to go to today . +do you feel ok ? +not really . After a 12 - hour flight , I've got jetlag , and on top of that , I think I've also got the flu . +why don't you call your secretary and tell her to reschedule the meeting ? You should really get some seat or you'll end up feeling even worse than you do now . +could you feel my forehead and check to see if I have a fever ? +you're really hot . Let me get you some Tylenol to bring the fever down . +ok . I'll stay home this morning and rest , but if I feel better in the afternoon , I'm going to the meeting . +Zach , what's that on your arm ? +I don't know . It looks a bit red , but I'm sure it's nothing . +it looks like you have a red rash all over you ! Are you allergic to anything ? +just cats , but I don't think I was near any cats in the last couple of weeks . +I completely forgot about your cat allergy . I took care of a cat for my friend here a few days ago . Oh no . we'd better go to the doctor to get some medicine . Let's go . +shouldn't we make an appointment first ? +we would , but let's just go and see if there's an opening now before it gets worse . +whatever you say . I just want to get to my meeting ! +Craig , what do you do for work ? +I'm still a student . +What school do you go to ? +Boston University . +That's a good school . What do you study ? +I'm studying English , math , and history . My major is English . +How long have you been studying English ? +More than six years . +That's a long time . +Yeah , I started to learn English when I was in high school . +No wonder your English is so good . +Actually , it's not that good . I can read but I can't speak very well . I haven't had a lot of chance to practice . +I see . Talking with other people is very important . +Yes , but I still don't have many friends here yet . +I'm having a party tonight at my apartment . You should come . +Oh thanks for inviting me . I'd love to come . +Hello , Jason , there is going to be a screening of Final Destination 3 at our campus cinema tomorrow . I plan to go to see it . +Is it a horror movie ? +Yeah , I love horror movies . Would you like to go with me tomorrow ? +No way . I will be scared out of my wits . +That's funny , I didn't know a big fellow like you could be so soft and timid on the inside . +Hey , how would you like to taste my fist ? +Alright , all joking aside , what kinds of moves do you like ? +Um , let me see , romance , comedy . documentary , action , science fiction , animated and so on . +That is to say , you like all genres except for horror movies . +Yeah . It seems like we don't speak the same language as far as movies are concerned . +Not quite . I also greatly enjoy romance and comedy . +The Notebook is this type of movie . +Really ? I haven't heard of it . +Well then , this could be a nice opportunity to enjoy it together . I bet you'd love it . +Ok . I can't wait to see it . Let's go ! +Wow , there are so many lanterns to appreciate . Now , I can see why it's called the Lantern Festival . It deserves its name . +Yeah . People always enjoy the lighted lanterns and the gala performances . +What are they doing over there ? People keep on gathering there . +Did you notice the characters on the lanterns ? +Sure . But you know that I can't read any Chinese characters . What do they say ? +They are puzzles . It's a tradition to solve the puzzles on the lanterns during the Lantern Festival . +Very interesting . But I'm afraid we'd better do something else . Hey , look ! There is a huge lantern there . Let's get close to it . +It's really eye-catching . It's the biggest dragon lantern I've ever seen in all my life . +Really ? Then I'm really lucky . Oh , it's spewing fireworks from its huge mouth . +Very impressive . It's made of glass which makes it even brighter . +There are many Chinese characters on its body , too . What are they about ? Puzzles ? +Let me have a look . Oh , no . They are Chinese poems which describe this happy scene . +He is so kind . I couldn ’ t believe he murdered his wife . +Of course not . I believe he ’ s innocent . +I don ’ t understand . +He nursed a viper in his bosom . His best friend Tony foamed him in . Tony first seduced his wife and then trapped him . +You always stick to your PC recently . Are you still fascinated by chatting on line ? +For me , the times of chatting online has gone . +What the hell are you doing now ? +I opened my blog today . In order to have more visitors , I have to land on others ' blogs and leave my messages for their blogs . +What's new with you ? +Do you still remember Justin ? +Of course , he was our monitor in college . How is him now ? +He seemed to be dumped by his girlfriend . I found his blogs were a little sad . +Let me see . What a moving poem ! +Will you be okay when you immigrate to America ? +Sure , I'm looking forward to it . +What about your parents ? +I'll get used to not seeing my parents . +So , how's your work ? +Good . How about you ? +I am going to resign . A few of the new staff have already left . Obviously , a lot of similar jobs pay much better salaries . +But your company is huge . Can't they afford to pay the staff decent wages . +But we have a policy of paying according to seniority in the company , so new employees get quite low salary , no matter how excellent they have done . +That's shortsighted . By the time the workers are experienced and contributing . They are likely to go . +That's why I am going to leave . +But you have already worked there for five years . +I am worried about my future . I can't believe that our company is as big as it is . The company can only continue to grow by taking care of its staff . +Well . The management doesn't seem to think that way . Anyways , you have to think twice before you act . +Thank you . I will . +I ’ m so excited , mother . Oh , a new baby ! +My first grandchild . +And my first nephew . He looks a lot like you , mum . He does . +Do you think so ? Well , I guess . He does look a lot like me . Oh , he ’ s got Richard ’ s eyes though . +Yes , he does have Richard ’ s eyes . The baby even looks like you than Richard does . +Well , children usually resemble their parents . +It ’ s true . Michelle is a lot like Henry in so many ways . And she is shy with new people just like he is . +You often like comparing children with their parents . +You ’ re right . +Hello . +Hello.May I speak to Mark , please ? +Sure , just a minute.Mark , you're wanted on the phone . +Hello , this is Mark speaking . +Hi ! This is Jill.How come you didn't come in today ? +Oh , we had a birthday party for David last night . As a matter of fact I woke up with a terrible hangover . +That's too bad.You ' ll have to be more careful nest time . +Anything new at the office ? +No , nothing special.Oh , yes , you know Bill , The guy with the moustache.His wife had a baby girl last night and he passed out cigars to everyone today , He said his wife and daughter are doing fine.The baby is their first child . +That's wonderful ! We've got to celebrate ! +Yes , we have to.Do you think you can make it tomorrow ? +Sure . I ought to be ready for some more drinks by then.Thank you for calling . +You're welcome.Bye . +what kind of music do you like listening to ? +I like music that has a fast beat and is lively , like dance music . You know , I go to a disco almost every week . Sometimes it ’ s too loud though . You prefer classical music , don ’ t you ? +yes , I do . I find it very relaxing . I often listen to Mozart or Bach in the evening after a hard day at work . +I must admit that I like several pieces of classical music . It ’ s certainly more sophisticated that modern dance music . +classical music is supposed to be good for you brain . Research suggest that it makes your brain more active . Students who listen to classical music while studying perform better . +really ? Perhaps I should listen to classical music often . I heard that listening to classical music is helpful in reducing stress . +yes . That ’ s why I listen to it in the evenings . I usually play it as background music while I ’ m cooking or doing other housework . +I ’ Ve got a few classical music CD ’ s . I should follow your lead and increase my brain power . +you can find plenty of recording on the internet too . You can listen to samples and then buy them very cheaply if you like them . +that ’ s a good idea . You should do the same with some music . You might find something you like . Classical music might make you clever , but dance might make you livelier and happier . +that ’ s true . There ’ s clear evidence that people who listen to lively music are lively people . Music can influence a person ’ s feeling and character . +Hi ! Wang Mei.Come and have a look at my new dress . +Oh ! What a beautiful dress ! It fits you so well.You look so charming in the dress . +Thank you for saying so . +Where did you buy it ? +I bought it in a store near my school . +How much is it ? +It's only thirty yuan . +It's so cheap . I'll buy one , too . +I'll go together with you . +Yeah , I ’ Ve just moved here , and I ’ d like to activate my cell phone , and I ’ m not sure if I should go with a prepaid plan , or a monthly rate plan . +I see . Well , can I have a look at your phone ? Unfortunately , this phone can ’ t be used in the US , it ’ s not compatible with our 3G network . +What ? Really ? I don ’ t really want to have to buy a new phone . +Well , you ’ re in luck ! You see , if you sign up for our three-year plan , we ’ ll throw in a handset for free . +Really ? What ’ s the catch ? +There ’ s no catch ! You just choose a plan , sign a three-year contract and , that ’ s it ! Actually , we ’ re running a special promotion right now , and we ’ re giving away a Blackberry Curve with our special Mega Value forty dollar plan . +So what does this plan include ? +Well , you get nine hundred anytime minutes , and you can also enjoy free mobile to mobile calling to other Tel-Mobile clients , one thousand text messages per month , and unlimited evening and weekend minutes . Oh , and we also offer a rollover option . +Wow , all this for forty dollars per month ? +That ’ s right , plus the activation fee , the emergency services fee , the monthly service fee , oh , and any charges for extra minutes , and ... +Excuse me , Professor , I have a problem and need to leave class early . +Why do you have to leave early ? +I am not feeling well . +Could you make it up by attending my other section this week ? +Yes , it's all taken care of . +Are you leaving right away or can you stay for a few more minutes ? +I can stay a few more minutes . +OK , but please make sure that you get all of your make-up work completed . +Thanks , Professor . I've got it covered ! +Go do what you have to do , but make sure it doesn't happen again . +When he told me I had to work overtime , that was it . +The last straw , huh ? +Yes , he's really pushed me too far . +I know what you mean . +Paul sends you his regards . +How nice of him ! +Do you think I still fashionable in this dress ? +I think so . Blue is still very fashionable at the moment . +This style came out last year , though . I like the dress , but I ’ m not sure whether last year ’ s fashions will be same this year . +I think this kind of dress will stay in fashion for a few more years . People don ’ t change fashions every year . It would be too expensive . +Yes . Only the top designer try to tell people to change fashion every year , but only rich people can do it . +There are some real fashion victims who just have to keep totally up-to-date with expensive clothes . +I wish I could be one of those people , but my budget simply doesn ’ t stretch that far . I have to limit the amount of money I spend on clothes otherwise I would go on a shopping frenzy . +I know what you mean . The situation will be worse if we marry our boyfriends and have children . The we ’ ll have even less money to spend on fashionable clothes ! +He has a girlfriend already . +You are kidding ! He just broke up with Ann . +His new girlfriend is a far cry from Ann . She is like a breath of fresh air . +I hope I will meet her soon . +Why , Tom ? It's five to six already and you are still writing here . +So what ? Are we going anywhere ? +Yes , have you forgotten ? We have arranged to go to Mary's to watch some videos tonight . +Oh , I'm sorry I forgot all about it.Well , can I take a rain check ? +What's the matter with you ? You are the one that persuaded all of us to go there . +I'm terribly sorry , Rose.But I have to finish this paper by tomorrow or professor Martin will kill me . +Oh ... I am really worried about the exam . I have no idea what will be on it . +Why ? Just read your notes.You can see what the professor stressed in the lectures.Probably the exam will ask about things he stressed . +Yes , but my notes are all nonsense . I can't figure out what is important . +Let me see them.Are these all the notes you have ? +Yes . +But Laurie , how can you do well in school if you don't take more notes ? +What do you mean ? You think I don't write enough . +I'm sure you don't write enough.Look at this . Here you wrote , Russian Revolution . 1917 . Bolsheviks . Real revolution , or coup ? And that's all ? I remember he lectured for a half hour about that question.And you didn't write any of it ! +I know , but I listened . +Yes , but did you remember ? You need good notes to help you remember . +I suppose you're right . But what can I do ? I don't know what to write down . +There are different things you can do.For one , the university offers a special free course on note-taking.You should go to the course . Also , I am pretty good at taking notes . I can help you on this exam . I will photocopy all my notes , and you can compare them to your notes.Then maybe you will see what kinds of things to write down . +That would really help me , Sue . I appreciate it . All this makes me feel like an idiot . +Don't feel that way . I know you are very smart.Note - taking is a special skill . All students need to learn it.Some people are very smart , but they just haven't learned how to take notes yet . I'm lucky because I had a good English teacher in high school.She taught me how to take good notes . It's not hard . +Alright . University and high school seem very different to me . I suppose I just need to learn how to manage lecture classes . Then I will do better . +What are you grinning about ? +Stephany said she would go out with me . +I thought mom said no dating till you are 16 . +That ’ s in one month , and besides , this is a group date with all of our friends . +All of your friends , what are you planning to do ? +We ’ re going fishing . +What a party ! I hope you don ’ t expect the girls to fish . +These girls are different , they are not wimpy . +This is my friend Jenny . +What's her last name ? +It's Snow . +What color are her eyes ? +They're blue . +What color is her hair ? +It's brown . +How old is she ? +She's 42 . +Are you ok ? You seem a bit anxious . +Yeah , I'm OK , I have been having a lot of mood swings lately . I think it has to do with the pills my doctor prescribed that are causing chaos on my hormones . +So you mean you feel ecstatic one minute and then blue the next ? +Yeah , it's weird . For example just this morning I was feeling detached and lonely , even though there was really no reason to feel that way . +Well , maybe your mood will swing positively and you will feel confident , brave and hopeful ! +I hope you are right . +Look ! This picture of Mom in her cap and gown . +Isn't it lovely ! That's when she got her Master's Degree from Miami University . +Yes , we are very proud of her . +Oh , that's a nice one of all of you together . Do you have the negative ? May I have a copy ? +Surely , I'll have one made for you . You want a print ? +No . I'd like a slide , I have a new projector . +I'd like to see that myself . +Have a wallet size print made for me , too . +Certainly . +Michael Jackson's coming to town . +I Couldn't care less . +What do you like to do with your free time ? +Study English . +You mean you like to study English ? Why ? +It gives me great satisfaction . +Studying English wouldn't give me any satisfaction . It's hard work . +I don't mind the work . I think it's worthwhile . +David , would you like something to eat ? +No , I'm full . +Do you want something to drink ? +Yes , I'd like some coffee . +Sorry , I don't have any coffee . +That's OK . I'll have a glass of water . +A small glass , or a big one ? +Small please . +Here you are . +Thanks . +You're welcome . +How long have you been in this company ? +I came two years ago after I graduated from college . This is my first job . +You must have found much difference between working in company and studying in college . +Of course ! Everyday , there is a deadline to meet . Bosses watching and testing me all the time , not liking in college , handed in paper months later and tested on schedule . It is so busy . But anyway , I have trying my best to be a good employee . +Well , you ’ Ve adapted yourself very well . Everyone in our office thinks you ’ Ve made a great progress in the past two years . What is your secret ? +It is so encouraging to hear this remark . The secret is to make plans . Write down your goals , short-term and long-term and make detail plans for a week or a month . Then just work hard . +Are you there , Mary ? +I'm back . My bid on the Buddha is still the highest ! +How much is my stamp ? +Don't you want to hear more about my statue ? +Don't get ahead of yourself . Fat boy isn't yours yet . +His name is not fat boy ! You can be so rude sometimes . +What did you say ? +I said he was nothing but a yeoman . +Then he become angry with you ? +Yes . +Professor Wang looks so handsome today . He is wearing a light brown suit and a pink tie . +He always wears an extremely becoming suit with tie . +He ’ s quite particular about what he wears , especially about his ties . He gets different tie each day . +A light brown suit and a pink tie today , and a light blue shirt and a blue tie yesterday . A perfect match ! +The tie is necessary for man . It makes you look so attractive in a super tie . +Match is important ; well , the way of tying is also important . +My father dose not know how to tie a tie , for he often wears a cravat . +My father wears a tie every day , but he can ’ t do it himself . My mother helps him with his tie every morning . +You mother is not only a patient mother but also a gentle wife . +There is a tornado warning on . My mother just told me she heard it on the radio . +What is a tornado warning ? +It means that a tornado has been seen somewhere in the area . +Really ? In New Berlin ? +No . Not necessarily in town . But in southern Wisconsin somewhere . A tornado has been spotted . They have two stages here.This is what is called a " tornado watch . " That means that the weather conditions are perfect for a tornado . +I understand . They think a tornado might come . +Yes . People should look out , because maybe there will be tornadoes coming.So it's called a " watch . " +And the second stage is called a " tornado warning " . +Yes . If a tornado has been spotted , they announce a " tornado warning " . So if there's a tornado warning on , it means a tornado is out there somewhere . +It's scary . +Well . Tornadoes can be dangerous , it's true.If we hear something like a loud train coming , then we have to go in the basement . +What do you mean " a loud train " ? +That is what tornadoes sound like . They sound like trains . They're very loud . +But if you hear them coming , isn't it already too late ? +Maybe . It depends on the tornado.Some can move across the ground at 200 miles an hour.That is very fast . Others aren't so fast . +Have you seen a lot of them ? +I've only seen one in my life . I was looking out the window . It was around two miles away . It was very interesting to watch.But it was heading toward my friend's house . So I quickly called them on the phone . +Did it hit their house ? +No , it didn't . But they are glad I called them . +What were they doing when you called ? +They were all sitting in the living room watching TV.They had no idea a tornado was coming toward their house.If it had hit them , they could have all been killed . +That's terrible . Do many people die in tornadoes ? +Not so many really . But a lot of houses are destroyed sometimes . +Actually the general manager is regarded as a baby doll . He has much sympathy . +That's right . And his wife is a baby doll , too . She used to have many followers . +Were you one of them ? +Nothing of the sort . I can't hold a candle to her . +You know that this afternoon's meeting is cancelled , right ? +Why am I always the last to know these things ? +I sent out a notice . You've stopped checking your e-mail ? +No , but Bean did send me like a hundred forwards today . My mailbox must have been overflowing . +How obnoxious ! I heard he was sending you dirty jokes . +He not only sent me nasty e-mail , but he's so bored , he even asked me to search the Net for even more forwards for him ! +Stop running around in front of the TV , will you ? Why don ’ t you just sit and watch ? +I've tried , but I can't stand the bald man talking so loudly in the program . +Then stay away . Nobody's keeping you from doing that . +Don't be so irritable . I just don't understand the program , that's all . +All right , I will explain it to you later on . Now scram . +Ok . I will wait until you have had your fun , if that's what you want . +That's exactly what I want , thank you . +How did your interview go ? +Pretty well . I don't know if I'll get the promotion or not , but I feel good about it . +If you get the promotion , what will your new title be ? +If I get the promotion , I will be a senior engineer instead of an assistant engineer . +Will you get a pay-raise , too ? +Whenever you are given added responsibilities , you should get a promotion . +That makes sense . Who interviewed you ? +My boss . +What kinds of questions did she ask you ? +She asked me about my ability to work in a team and what I thought a good boss should be . +The second one sounds rather difficult to answer . What did you tell her ? +I told her that I'm an excellent team player and that a good boss should treat male and female employees equally . +Those are good answers . How did she react ? +She told me that even when I become a senior engineer , I'll have to work with the assistant engineers as a team . +What do you think about her as a boss ? +She's pretty easy to get along with . She listens to her employees and treats everyone equally . +You're lucky . Not everyone has such a great boss ! +That's true . She's highly esteemed among everyone at my company . +When you find out you get the promotion or not , let me know . +I will do . +What's this then ? +It's my geography , sir . The Map of Africa you set us . +But this should have been handed in last Thursday . +Yes , I know , sir . I'm sorry . +Well , what's your excuse then ? +My mother's been ill and I had to stay at home . +Oh , Yes ? +It's true , sir . +Our unit is participating in a fundraiser this weekend and would like to borrow the van , if possible . +I would need to check on that . Where is the fundraiser ? +It will be at the beach by the pier . +What day will you need it for ? +We will only be needing it for Sunday . +Maybe that could work . I need to know who will be driving it . +The only two drivers will be Mary and I . +If I give you the keys to the garage , could you bring it back on Sunday evening ? +Sure . We also would like to use the chairs from the lunchroom . Would that be OK ? +OK , but make sure that everything is back by Sunday night at the latest . +Hi , what ’ re you reading ? +Oh , it ’ s Death on the Nile . Have you read it ? +No , not that one . But I saw the movie . Could I borrow it when you finished . +Sure . I didn ’ t know you liked mysteries . +Oh , I ’ m crazy about them . +Who are those guys ? +Kobi Bryant and Shaquille O ’ Neal , they are the Los Angeles Lakers ’ star players . +Oh . +Wait a second . He shoots , he scores ! +All right ! +Here comes Jordan , though . +Wow , Michael Jordan ’ s slam-dunks are beautiful things to watch . +Yeah . He ’ s older , so he doesn ’ t slam , as much as he did when he was younger , but when he does , it ’ s still amazing . +Which team do you think will win ? +The Lakers . Jordan is the only good player Washington has . +How are your parents these days ? +Oh , they're fine , still very active and enjoying their retirement . +Oh , good . That's nice to hear . Please give my best regards to them when you're home . +Sure , thank you . +Those are the headlines for today , and now for the international weather report with Mike Sanderson . +Thank you , Bob ! This past week has been the beginning of Armageddon for many , a series of unprecedented meteorological events occurred around the world . In Switzerland , a major avalanche was reported in the Alps . Fortunately , no one was injured . Due to to the extreme cold this winter , a blizzard has struck the US Midwest , causing classes in schools and universities to be temporarily canceled . Moving to to Latin American , Ecuador has suffered a six month drought that has not only affected farming , but has also forced the closure of the hydroelectric power plant that provides electricity for the entire country . In Chile , a major earthquake that registered seven point five on the Richter scale struck the southern region . Losses are reported to be in the billions . Authorities have not yet released an official statement . +Not a great week for the world ! Any good news ? +I ’ m afraid not , Bob . One of the major volcanoes in Mexico has erupted , causing major floods and landslides in the region . Meanwhile , Mexico ’ s coast has been hit by hurricane Liliana and officials say that all the seismic activity leads them to believe that a tsunami may hit Central America , affecting Honduras , Guatemala and Panama . That ’ s all the news we have for today , but stay tuned for updates on the six o ’ clock news . Back to you Bob . +Happy Anniversary , honey . +I thought you had forgotten . +After the trouble I got into last year , no way . +Thank you honey , it means a lot to me . +I am fed up with Jack . He is so weak in dealing with other people and always eats dirt . +So he is . But , why not try to help him to become stronger ? +How do you know that I didn ’ t try ? I just couldn ’ t manage it . +My friend Jane is very beautiful . +What's her figure ? +Perfect . And I like her charming eyes , too . +What's the color of her eyes ? +Dark blue . +how old is she ? +Twenty . +Excuse me . Is anyone in that seat next to you ? +No , I don't think so . +Do you mind if I put my jacket there ? +No . It's no problem.Are you American ? +Yes . And you ? +No . I'm from Taiwan . Can't you see ? +Well , there are many Chinese Americans , you know.And your English is very good . You sound like an American . +I don't think so . You are flattering me . +No , really . I can only hear a little accent . +Are you flying home ? +Well , yes . Actually , I'm going back to visit . +You were visiting Taiwan ? +No , I'm going back to America to visit . I'm from America , but I don't live there now . I live in Taichung . +Really ! You live in Taiwan ! +Yes . Why not ? +May I ask what your job is in Taiwan ? +Sure . I teach history in a university . Have you heard of Dong-Hai University ? +Of course . It's a good school . How long have you lived in Taichung ? +I have lived in Taichung for two years now.So this is the second time I am going back to states . I go back once a year to visit my family . +It must be strange for you to live in Taiwan . +No , it isn't strange at all.Many people from Taiwan move to America too , you know.Do you think it is strange for them ? +No . Well , I don't know.But Taiwan is so crowded . Don't you miss life in America ? +Are you new here ? +This is my first day here . +Are you a freshman in college ? +I started school somewhere else . +What school did you transfer from ? +I started at PCC . +What made you transfer ? +My grades weren ’ t good enough to go here . +Did you like PCC ? +I loved PCC . +Good luck here . +I ’ m excited to be here . +The band is pretty good . How do you like the music ? +It's very nice . I haven't heard live music in a while . This is fun . +Well , then , may I invite you for the next dance ? +Of course . But I'm afraid I'm not much of a dancer ... +Don't worry . I'm not much of a dancer myself . +You're dancing so well . +You dance beautifully too . +When did you learn to dance ? +In college . But I don't dance very often . What's your favourite dance ? +It's hard to say . It depends . But I love the waltz . +Li Lei , can you tell me what the origin of Easter is ? +The Bible says that Jesus Christ was resurrected three days after he was crucified . People commemorate that at a festival called Easter . +Oh , then when do you celebrate Easter ? +We celebrate it on the first Sunday after a full moon on or after the 21st of March . +How do you celebrate it ? +We make a lot of Easter eggs and then paint some designs on them . We'll also go to church and pray . +That sounds interesting . +Morning , Bob . Fancy meeting you here ! +Morning , Jenny . Haven't seen you for ages ! +Well , I thought I'd come to see you , so here I am . +You did give me a surprise . How have you been ? +Fine , just fine . And you ? +Not so well . I've come down with the flu . +I'm sorry to hear that . Take care of yourself . +It's really great to see you again . How about a drink tonight ? +Sounds wonderful . When shall we make it ? +How about seven ? +OK . +I'll pick you up . +Thank you . +My son came home from three years in the navy . +It was a real red letter day for you . +Yeah . We rolled out the red carpet to welcome him home . +What are your hobbies ? +Sports . +Like what ? +Basketball and swimming . +it's a lovely day , isn't it ? +yeah , and most excitingly , I met the girl living under me today . She's really nice . +is she American ? +yeah , and most importantly , she's single ! Man , I could tell from the moment I saw her , she's the girl of my dreams ! +so I take it you two are hitting it off ? I know it's very convenient to be in a relationship with your neighbor , but what if you break up ? +I don't know . I am not really worried about that . I don't wanna lose before even starting . Besides I think the other two American guys have also fallen for her . +sounds like you've got some competition . You made a move already ? +not yet . But I am thinking of inviting her to dinner sometime . I know some good restaurants nearby . +that's nice . Having been here a little while surely gives you the advantage , eh ? +you bet . Now that you mentioned it , I think I'll call her now and see if she is available tonight . +good luck ! +thanks ! +Hi ! I'm Hong lei . What's your name ? +Hello , Hong Lei . My name's Ricky . +Hi Ricky . Are you a new student here ? +Yes , I had my first lesson this morning . Are you a new student too ? +No , I've been here for six months . +Six months . That's a long time . +It's not so long really . What class are you in ? Intermediate or ... ? +Intermediate Three . And what about you ? +I'm in Advanced One . Who's your teacher ? +I can't remember her name , but she's got curly red hair . +Ah ! Does she wear glasses ? +Yes , I think so . +That's probably Anne Wallis . +Yes that's right . Do you know her ? Is she your teacher too ? +No . But she taught me last term . How long have you been here ? +Only a week . +Wow , not long . Where do you live ? With a family ? +Well , I'm staying at the YMCA at the moment . I'm looking for somewhere more permanent . Do you know of any good places ? +Yes . Actually my friend has a spare room in here apartment and she's looking for a flatmate . Would you like her phone number ? +That would be great ! Thanks for your help . Can I buy you coffee ? +Guess what ? I've got great news ! +What is it ? +Well , you know how I've been working at the Economist as a proof-reader , right ? +Yes . +Well , the editor-in-chief heard that I had experience as an editor at another magadize and asked me if I was interested in becoming an assistant editor for him . +Really ? That's fantastic ! Will you get a chance to do any writing ? +She said that the columnist for the literary criticism column would be going on pregnancy leave soon and that I could be in charge of the column until she came back . +Wow ! That's really great news . How often does the magazine come out ? +It's a monthly magazine , but my column will be shared with another columnist so my articles will be due fortnightly . +Are you looking forward to doing more editing work ? +Yes , but I'm even more excited about getting my thoughts published again ! +Do you have any order forms here so that I can get a subscription to the magazine ? +I don't have any with me , but I think I could manage to bring a free copy home for you . +I'm really looking forward to reading your column . +Me , too . Do you want to go out to celebrate my good news ? +Sure , where would you like to go ? +Perhaps we could go to the library festival that's going on at the local bookshop . +I don't think the teacher had a right to say that.The teacher was wrong to have accused her in front of the whole class . +You've got to be joking ! It's the teacher's right to say anything wants , and if she saw Myra cheating , she certainly had the right to say so . +I agree she had the right to say something , but I feel she should have done it privately . +You're right.If I were the teacher , I wouldn't have done that . +Welcome ! Sophia told us you were coming ! +Um ... It's wonderful to be here . Uh ... this place looks really cozy . +Thank you ! Your cheeks are as red as a tomato ! Are you shy ? +Maybe ... +Some of my grappa will cure your shyness . +Is that a kind of alcohol ? +It's a clear spirit we drink any time of the day . You will love it ! +Great . My face will turn even redder ! +Who wants to go first ? Allen ? +Uh ... I mostly just like to listen . You're the groom . Why don't you go first ? +OK .

Brooke hates the Backstreet Boys ! +Are you free tonight ? +Yes , I am . What's wrong ? +Would you please go to a dancing party with me ? +OK . No problem . +As a matter of fact , I haven't danced for a long time . +But it's said that you dance wonderfully well . +Thanks for flattering me . I think you dance a lot , right ? +No . Just occasionally . +What are your favourite dances ? +I love rumba and waltz . +How about samba ? +To tell the truth , I don't like it . It's too fast . +Then I'll see you at six . Is that all right ? +OK . See you then . +See you then . +I would like to watch the Oscars on Tv tonight . How about you ? +Yes , I'd love to . It ’ s interesting to see who is considered the best in their field and which film are thought to be particularly good . +I like watching it for the fashion . I like to see what the ladies are wearing . Of course , the men nearly always just wear the traditional tuxedo . +Sometimes the men wear flamboyant colours . Which films do you think will win awards this year ? +I'm really not sure . Usually just one or two films look set to sweep the awards ceremony , but this year there are several contenders . +You ’ re right . This year should be much more exciting than usual . What ’ s you favourite award category ? +You might think this strange , but I like the category for “ best foreign language film " . +It ’ s nice to see foreign language films making a little impact on Hollywood . I like the “ best actor and actress ” . +You won ’ t believe who ’ s been elected to do overtime on the Baker account ! Me ! I ’ Ve already logged in 20 hours of overtime ! +Wow ! Why so much ? I thought they were getting you an assistant . +They were supposed to , but so far nobody ’ s turned up , and I ’ m left on my own to do the work . This is the first break I ’ Ve had all day . +They ’ re really running you into the ground . Why don ’ t you ask for some time off ? You could take a long weekend and go away somewhere . +You won ’ t believe who ’ s been elected to do overtime on the Baker account ! Me ! I ’ Ve already logged in 20 hours of overtime ! +Wow !

You ’ ll make fool yourself . You look stupid in that robe . +What ? But it is my favorite piece of clothing . +Maybe it is . But it ’ s out of fashion . +What am I going to do ? +Let ’ s go downtown and pick up some fashionable clothes for you . +Would you like to come out with me tonight ? +Sorry , I can ’ t . +Tomorrow night , then ? +I ’ d like to . But I ’ m afraid I can ’ t . +I was wondering if you like to go to the theatre then . +That sounds great . +Ok . How about give me a ring , then ? +No . I ’ d better not . +Why not ? +Because I don ’ t think my husband would like it . Thank you for inviting me anyway . +I don't know what to do , if I can't find the money . +Don't worry yourself too much . +It's a large sum of money . I can't afford to lose it . +Too ... your face is really oily ... perfect ! +Why ? Are you planning to stir-fry my face ? +Nope . I'm going to tell your fortune . So ... the oilier , the better . +You've gone bonkers , Jen . +It's facial paper , and it fits into the rings of my binder ! It's magical . +OK . Let's see . Give me a sheet . +Have you finished your work ? +Not because I ’ m keeping an eye on the baby . +Where is the baby ’ s mother ? +She is at the supermarket downstairs . She said she would be back in about half an hour . +Bob , how about joining the boxing club this summer vacation ? +What a good idea ! +So let's get registered tomorrow . +OK . +I'm sure he was off-side . +But the ref didn't whistle . +I think he favors the host team . +Anyway , the host team seems to fight for the gold . +What do you think of the former champ ? +There were some bad misses in his defence , so he lost it . +No champion can remain at the top for ever . +I suppose he's not in top form . +I want to say goodbye to everyone . +You ’ re leaving so soon . When are you off ? +I ’ m catching the 9 fifteen train tomorrow morning . +How about I come and see you off ? +You really don ’ t need to . +Ok . I ’ ll miss you . I hope we can see each other again soon . +I hope so , too . Thank you , Lily . Thank you for everything . +You ’ re welcome . +Please say goodbye to the rest of the family for me . +Ok . Take care . I hope you have a good journey . +Thank you . Remember to look me up if you ’ re ever in Washington . +Of course . I will . +Goodbye , then . Thanks again for everything . +How ’ s your father ? +He ’ s fine . He retired last week . It ’ s turning point in his life . Now he can relax and enjoy his retirement . +He can spend more time with his grandchildren . +Oh , I don ’ t think he wants to . He wants to travel to several different countries around the world . +So , he wants to have a more active retirement . Good idea ! +How do you want to spend your old age ? +In the same way , probably . +You're not looking happy.What ' s the matter ? +Oh , nothing special . I'm just a bit tired . +With the job ? +With everything , with everybody , with all this ! +A good suggestion for you.You need a holiday . +It wasn't always like this , you know . +What do you mean ? +Well , I mean.We always do the same thing.There ' s no variety in our lives . +You need a holiday.That ' s what's the matter . +Certainly , perhaps . +Delicious ! Did you make this chocolate cake yourself , Fred ? +Yes . I did . +It's really good . +Let's take a coffee break . +Why not ? +The Canada Day is on the 1st of July . +What is its national anthem ? +The national anthem of Canada is ' O Canada ' . +Can you sing the song ? +Yes , I could sing it when I was very young . +Beautiful day , isn't it ? +Yes , it's not like what the radio said at all . +I wish it would stay this way for the weekend . +As long as it doesn't snow ! +You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe . When is it that you are leaving ? +In just three weeks , and I am excited . But there are still a few things I need to do before I go . +Like what ? +Like renewing my passport , going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone . +You are not going to give it up , are you ? +No way . I'll never find another apartment around here . But I don't like the idea of paying three months ' rent on an empty apartment , either . +I don't blame you . Perhaps you could sublet it . +Yes , but whom to ? +Mmm ... let me think . Oh , I know just a person . An old colleague of mine , Jim Thomas , is coming here to do some research this summer , from June to August . +That's exactly when I'll be away . It sounds ideal , as long as the landlord agrees . +Tell you what , I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway , so I'll mention it to him then . +Well , thanks , Bill . Let me know what happens . That extra money will really come in handy . +How is your new car ? +Perfect . Couldn't be better . +Why do you say so ? Can I see your new car ? +Of course you can . ( Lead Carl to his garage . ) +Wow , this new car is dynamite ! It is a shiny , beautiful car . +My car is simply a daisy . It drives smoothly . +The car has very sleek lines . I love it . +I am glad to hear that . I'm really pleased with it . +You made a good choice . +Could you tell me the right time , please ? +Well , my watch says five past two , but it's no use relying on it , because it has been gaining and losing these last few days . +You'll have to get it fixed . +Yes , I will . +How's your business ? +Everything seems to be getting worse . I don't know what to do with it . +Things are tough all over . You should never give up ! +But how can I prevent a deficit ? +I think you should make a thorough market investigation now . +OK , OK . I ’ ll do my best . +I always consider you are such a guy who never gives up . +I know life is not all roses , and I believe I will pull this through . +Yeah , you can make it . +How are you , Sue ? +Pretty good . I ’ Ve just had my new poems published . +Congratulations on your success . +Thank you . +And how ’ s your brother ? +He is fine . +He ’ s going to be sent to Britain to study , really ? +Yes . He ’ s already got the passport and visa . +Fantastic ! Please send him my congratulations . +Thank you . He ’ s very lucky indeed . +Mike , I can't catch up with our Chinese teacher very well . +I advise you to take an additional course in some Chinese schools . +What is that ? +This kind of school is good at helping people to improve their Chinese . +Will they recommend me the class that suits me ? +Sure . You can review the lessons you have learned at school and learn something new there . +That's great . I'll tell my mother about it . +It's raining outside , Catherine , it's too bad.What ' s the weather like in your hometown ? +It's very hot , the temperature is often over 40C . +Do you like the weather in Seattle ? +Not really.But I like it in spring and fall . I don't like it in winter . +Why ? +The winter is very rainy , I don't like the rainy day . +What about the weather in Boston ? +I lived there for three years . I like summer but I don't like winter . +Is it very cold in winter ? +Yes , it is.But it's nice in spring and fall . +God , I didn ’ t realize . I didn ’ t , I didn ’ t know ... +... Who you were with ? I didn ’ t know whom you were with . +Excuse me ? +Sorry , it ’ s from the Godfather . It ’ s when the , when the movie producer realizes Tom Higgins had emissary of Vito Corleone , it ’ s just before the horse ’ s head ends up in the bed with all the bloody sheets , you know , wakes up , and AAAL ! Never mind . +You were spying on me , weren ’ t you ? You probably rented those children . +Why would I spy on you ? +Because I am your competition which you know perfectly well , or you would not put up that sign just around the corner . +The entrance to our store is around the corner . And there ’ s no other way of saying that . It ’ s not the name of our store . It ’ s where it is . And you do not own the phrase around the corner . +What is that ? What are you doing ? You ’ re taking all the caviar ! That caviar is a garnish ? +Look , the reason I came into your store is because I was spending the day with Annabell and matt . And I was buying them presents . I ’ m the type of guy who likes to buy his way into the hearts of children who are his relative . And there ’ s only one place to find a children ’ s book in the neighborhood . That will not always be the case . And it was yours . And it is a charming little bookstore . You probably sell what 350,000 worth of books in a year . +Hi , do you know what ’ s for dinner ? I ’ m starving . +We ’ re on our own tonight , dad ’ s taking mom out . +Out ? What do you mean out ? +You know on a date , they are going to dinner . +Dad and mom ? +Yeah , they said they ’ re reviving the old tradition . +You mean this is going to be a regular thing ? +That ’ s right , once a week . Do you want to order some pizza ? +Have you been in America long , Hellen ? +No . Only for a couple of weeks . +Where are you going to study ? +I am going to register at Harvard next month . +What are you going to major in ? +I am going to major in tourism . What about you ? How long have you been here ? +For nearly four years . +Well . You should be able to give me some advice on where to stay . At the moment , I am staying in a hotel which is far away from the school . +That's right . And I'm going to be Vice President of Marketing . +Way to go , Mary . A lot has happened during the last few months , hasn't it ? +You can say that again ! +What's up with Vince and Elvin ? +They work for Zina now . +And they're happy with that ? +They're in awe of her . After they saw how she crushed WebTracker ... but I guess you know all about that . +Why don't you have dinner with me tonight ? +I'd love to . +Let's say about 6:00 ? +That's OK with me . +Did everyone fill out their entry permits ? +Yes . The videographer has already started filming my parents trying to speak English with the flight attendants . +Speaking of flight attendants , they keep smiling at me . I wonder why ... +It'll be the year 2000 ! The flight attendants are coming over here . They're carrying bottles of champagne ! +That's because it's time . +Time for what ? +It's time to make our wedding wish come true ... +You mean get married now ? On the plane ? +Why not ? I've got the rings ready . +I don't know what to say , Jack ! +Hopefully , you'll say " yes " ... +May I help you ? +I would like to return this book . +May I do anything else for you ? +I would also like to check out these books . +Will that be all ? +That ’ s it . +Do you have your library card ? +Oh , yeah . Here you go . +Will that be all for today ? +That ’ ll be all . +These books are due back in two weeks . +Thanks . Have a good one . +Suit wrote me a letter . +What did she say ? +She got a master degree , and now she is going for her doctor . +Really ? I can't believe it . +It's not a surprise , is it ? She has always been a hard working student . +But I think a master degree is good enough for a girl . +I am sorry . I ’ Ve left my disk at home . +Thank you all the same . +Let ’ s go to the seashore on Saturday . +Yes ! Let ’ s go sailing and water skiing . That ’ s so exciting . +It ’ s expensive , too . Let ’ s just sit in the sun and go swimming instead . +Yes . Let ’ s sleep on the sand . That ’ s most exciting ! +Dou you think I should join a basketball team , Mary ? +Why not . If I were you , I certainly would . +But I'm afraid it will take too much of my time . +As the saying goes , work value work , play value play . All work and no play make a jucky-dull boy , you know . +Em , you ’ re right . +Titanic made a hit ! It was so touching . +But I see things rather differently.The heroin is not attractive and her acting is just so-so . +The heroin may not be attractive . I like the story , though . +Congratulations ! You've just won a car ! +It's too good to be true . +How are your wedding plans going ? +Very well . We started organizing everything early to avoid a last minute rush to get things done . +When will your wedding take place ? +At ten o'clock on the morning of next Sunday . We have invited all our relatives to the wedding . +It will be a large church one . Is your wedding dress ready ? +Yes , its design is very elaborate and the designer took many weeks to make it . +You will be very beautiful on your wedding day . +Thank you ! +Which hotel will the reception be held at ? +The Palace Hotel . +It's excellent . A friend of mine had her wedding reception there and said it was perfect , though very expensive . +It will be expensive , but we think it will be worth . +I think you made the right decision . +Please come in ! +Hi . Steven . I just drop in and want to have a chat with you . +Oh , so nice of you to come here . Have a seat . Please make yourself at home . +OK . ( Sit on the sofa ) Wow ! Your house was decorated so beautiful . +Thank you . My wife would be very happy to hear this . +She must have done a lot of work on it . +You bet . +Hey ! What's up ? +Hi , John ! I haven't seen you for ages . +Yeah , I've been out of town . +So how have you been ? +Great ! Work is really busy now , but it's fun . +We must set 1000 dollars aside each month . +Why ? +We are going to buy our own house . +Really ? Congratulations . +Hey , Jeff , where's your stereo ? +I needed some money , so I hocked it last week . +You must have been really hurting for cash to have done that . +I had just enough money to make ends meet until payday . Then last Wednesday I received a phone bill to the tune of $ 195.00 . I hit the ceiling when I saw that . +It sounds like you weren't expecting that . +I'd forgotten that my brother had used my phone earlier this month to call his girlfriend . He forgot to mention that she happened to be in New York at the time 3000 miles away . +Well , if you need some money to tide you over until payday , I can loan you some . +Thanks , but tomorrow's payday I can make until then . Thanks any-way . +So what are you doing for Thanksgiving ? +Not much really . It's more of an American tradition , so back home we don't really celebrate it . In fact , I am not even sure of what exactly is being celebrated ! +Well you know , it's a time to get together with all your family and be thankful for everything ! +Yeah but , how did this holiday come to be ? +Well , the first settlers of Massachusetts arrived there because of religious persecution from England and King James . Once in the New World , they befriended an native named Squanto , who taught them how to harvest food from the area such as corn . +And then what did happen ? +Well , they had enough harvests for the next winter and celebration 。 They decided to have a big feast for the natives , giving thanks the land , and everyone for the foods , healthy and new lives . +Interesting ! I am amazed how big and delicious thanksgiving dinners are ! +Come to my house for Thanksgiving ! We are having turkey , pumpkin pie , mashed potatoes with gravy , and lots of stuffing ! +Count me in ! +Cheers ! To our first night in our new apartment . +It's so quiet . I'm not really used to it . +All you hear is the crickets and the breeze . +It's a little eerie . I'm sure the silence will begin to grow on me . +Well , I think it's fabulous . And the neighbors don't even seem to exist . +That is a relief . It's a good thing we moved . +Ms . : Do you have a question , Mary ? +No . That's not why I raised my hand . I need to go to the ladies ' room . +Ms . : Let me give you a hall pass for it . +What's a hall pass ? +Ms . : With a hall pass , you can go to the ladies ' room or wherever you need to go during class time . +I see . +Ms . : If a teacher stops you in the hallway , just show him or her the pass . +Or else I'll get into trouble . +Ms . : That's right . +What do you think of the speech the man delivered just now ? +Don't believe him . He's a liar . +We cannot expect politics to be true anyway . +Exactly . +So , you friend ’ s getting married on Saturday . What have you bought her as a wedding gift . I find is so hard to choose the right gift . +My friend and her fiance had a really good idea . They have cut out pictures from catalogues and pasted them in a notebook . The picture are of things they want . People sign their name by the item they will buy . +That ’ s clever ! Then everyone knows that they are buying something the couple really want and there ’ s no chance of two people buying the same gift . What things were in the notebook ? +Most of the things were household appliance . You know , everything from an iron through a vacuum cleaner to a cooker . I think it ’ s an excellent way for everyone who knows the couple to help them set up home . +So , what did you get them ? +I bought a sewing machine . I know that my friend likes making her own clothes , but her current sewing machine is quite old and has some problems . +What ’ s wrong with it ? +She says that after several years of use , it ’ s not working properly . When she uses it , it makes a funny noise . +Household appliance don ’ t seem to last for a long time nowadays . +I think it ’ s because the manufactures are constantly bringing out new models . Because they know that we will buy the new models , the appliances don ’ t need to last more than five or ten years at most . +hey , Jimmy , you've been sitting in front of the TV all day . Anything interesting on TV ? +not really . Quite boring right now , actually . Mostly infomercials and public service announcements . +why don't you turn off the TV and get outside ? You need to get some fresh air . +I know , I know.But my favorite show is on in a couple of minutes . It's the series finals , and I wouldn't miss it for the world ! +Really ? What's the series about ? +well , it's about how an immigrant girl achieve her dream in America . It's a sitcom but really quite smart and really funny . I think you'd like it . +it sounds interesting , but I am not a big fan of TV shows . They're time consuming and don't have much depth . +I believe some shows are quite informative and interesting . Take this show for example , it examines American xenophobia and how it might conflict with the American dream , with hilarious results . +really ? that's interesting ! +yeah.Oh , here it comes ! why don't we watch it together ? they are going to have a court debate in this episode . It should be good . +OK , I'll give it a go . +I ’ Ve had it ! I ’ m done working for a company that is taking me nowhere ! +So what are you gonna do ? Just quit ? +That ’ s exactly what I am going to do ! I ’ Ve decided to create my own company ! I ’ m going to write up a business plan , get some investors and start working for myself ! +Have you ever written up a business plan before ? +Well , no.it can ’ t be that hard ! I mean , all you have to do is explain your business , how you are going to do things and that ’ s it , right ? +You couldn ’ t be more wrong ! A well written business plan will include an executive summary which highlights the idea of the business in two pages or less . Then you need to describe your company with information such as what type of legal structure it has , history , etc . +Well , that seems easy enough . +Wait , there ’ s more ! Then you need to introduce and describe your goods or services . What they are and how they are different from competitors ’ ? Then comes the hard part , a market analysis . You need to investigate and analyze hundreds of variables ! You need to take into consideration socioeconomic factors from GDP per capita to how many children on average the population has ! All this information is useful so that you can move on to your strategy and implementation stage , where you will describe in detail how you will actually execute your idea . +Geez . Is that all ? +Almost , the most important piece of information for your investors will be the financial analysis . Here you will calculate and estimate sales , cash flow and profits . After all , people will want to know when they will begin to see a return on their investment ! +Umm . I think I ’ ll just stick to my old job and save myself all the hassle of trying to start up a business ! +Are you a blogger ? +Sure I am . I've been writing a blog for almost three years . +Oh , it seems that I'm the only one who never blogs . When did you get started ? +I began blogging when I first went to the US for my graduate strides . +What do you usually write about ? +At first , I'll write about my life there . Like interesting things on the campus , travel stories , special English words that I come across . Sometimes , I'll post my pictures on my blog so my friends and family can get to know how everything's going . +That's interesting . How often do you write a blog ? +It's random . If there happen to be a lot of things going on , I may add several new entries in a week , and if I've got nothing to share , I may leave my blog untouched for weeks . +Got it . Are you still updating your blog ? +Sure , since I came back from the US , I've been keeping the habit of blogging , simply to share my personal insights on any topic I like . +Good for you . I know many people just leave their blogs alone after the first few months . +What are you doing this Saturday ? +Not much . +Do you want to go see a movie ? +That sounds good . +What's playing at the Century Fox ? +Candlelight in the Window +Should we go see it ? +I'd rather not . I don't like horror movies . +How about ‘ Run of the Mill ? ’ +No . I heard that's really boring . +Why don't we go to a concert instead ? +Great idea ! +Hello , My name is Candy Brown . May I have your name ? +Hello , Candy . My name is Jim White . Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you , too . Where are you from ? +I'm from New Orleans . What about you ? +I was born here . +Really ? This is a beautiful town . +It's nice talking to you . But I have to go . +OK . Can I have your phone number ? +OK . It's 15066688866 . Call me ! Bye-bye , then . +I will . Bye . +It's a lovely day , isn't it ? +Yes , the weather sure is nice today . +I love it when the weather is like this.Why don't we sit down outside and have our lunch ? +That sounds like a good idea.The sky is clear , the sun is shining and there's a nice cool breeze , so it is not too hot . +I really miss the change of seasons like we have in Colorado ; but I must admit , this sure is a nice spring day . +Hey , this spot in the shade looks really comfortable . +Okay.Hey , is that a dark cloud over there ? Do you think it will rain after all ? +I don't think so . I say the weather report last night , and it said the weather should be fine all day . +If the weather stays nice perhaps we can go to the beach this weekend.It ' s been a while since I've not really gotten some sun . +I hear that you have been promoted . Congratulations on your promotion ! +Thank you , but I hate having to leave here and working abroad . +When are you going ? +Sometime next month . +I need your help , Bob . +What's the matter ? +I'm really confused by these annoying abbreviations . +Just relax . That's because you're new to chat . Let me take a look . +A / S / L , IGP , H & K , and ZZZ . What the hell do they mean ? +ZZZ means'sleepy or tired or bored ' , A / S / L is tricky , which is often used at first encounter . It's a three-word question , ' age , / sex / location ? ' +Interesting . Then what does H & K refer to ? The city of Hong Kong ? +Wrong . lt's not a place name , but a passionate act . +Really ? What kind ? A girl left this word to me , and I thought she was in Hong Kong . +Ahahah ... you miss her point for sure . H & K actually is an acronym for ' hug and kiss ' . +Hug and kiss ? ! How is it possible ? Oh , it's really bad to Miun - Verstand her meaning . +Yeah , seems that you have a lot to learn and memorize . +why are you in such a good mood today ? +well , yesterday , I decided to face my fear of heights . +I didn't know you were scared of heights ! Was it really bad ? +let me put it this way . I've never seen a professional sorts game in a stadium because I could never get myself to walk to the top of the stairs to sit down . +so what did you do about it yesterday ? +I went sky-diving ! +you're kidding me ! that sounds really scary ! +It was scary , but it felt great , too . +weren't you scared ? +of course I was scared . But I had an instructor that went with me and that helped . +so have you cured your fear of heights ? +I think so . After I jumped out of the plane , I realized that I should just enjoy life . Worrying about it or not doing things out of fear is just plain silly . +I'm impressed . +are you scared of anything ? +well , sometimes I get scared when I'm in my apartment all by myself . +what do you think is going to happen ? +I always worry that the door is unlocked or that a window is open and that a stranger will come in and steal my things . +it sounds like you just need to be more careful . +Look out ! +What's it ? +You must have rolled over something just now . +What you said gives me the creeps ! +Mr . Green , I ’ d like to introduce you to Mr . Brown . +How do you do , Mr . Brown ? It ’ s a pleasure to get to know you . +My pleasure , Mr . Green . I look forward to an excellent relationship with your company . +I propose a toast to the health of everyone here and to the success of our negotiation . +Okay , let ’ s make a toast . +So who does he think he is , anyway , I can't believe the way that my boss has been ordering everyone around lately , I mean , it's now like he is the CEO , or anything . +Um ... Actually I am guessing you didn't get the MEMO . Your boss was selected to fill the vacancy in the CEO slot . He actually is the CEO now , or will be , as soon as the official press releases and hoopla is done with . +Yikes ! you are joking , right ? I can't believe it . No wonder he is so stressed and bossy lately . I thought he was just being ostentatious by giving orders to people and all the different departments . What big shoes to fill ! +No kidding ! When the last CEO left , we were worried about the future of the company . +What does a CEO do anyway ? I know the CEO makes the most money in the company , but what does he actually do ? +He is responsible to the board of directors for everything that happens in the company . He or she must give leadership to all company officers , as CEO is also responsible for providing the guidance of philosophy of the company , and acting as official representative , or face of the company . +Must be one smart guy . +Okay , can I ask you something direct ? +Ha ! It's not like you've ever been one to beat around the bush . +Fair enough . Give it to me straight . Did she bully you into this ? +No , seriously . . . I really want this . +I tell ya , when I got the invite , it really threw me for a loop . You've done a complete 180 . +I know . But things have changed . I guess I've settled down . +I guess so . +Have you ever been in an earthquake ? +Yes , I experienced one when I was in Tokyo once . The tremors only lasted a few seconds though and then it was over . +Do you know where it measured on the Richter scale ? +I don't remember , but it wasn't very serious . Have you ever been in an earthquake ? +No , but I was in quite a few tornados when I was younger . +Where are you from ? +I'm from the plains of the Midwest . It's a prime location for tornadoes . +Did your house ever get damaged from the winds ? +Most of the time we were lucky , but once a tree from our front yard was ripped out by its roots and ended up in our living room . +Wow , that must have really been scary . +Actually , some of my fon best memories of my childhood were of spending time with my family in the basement waiting for the tornados to pass . +Have you ever experiences a flood ? +No , but my father's car was destroyed in a flood once . It actually happened the day after he bought the car ! +That sure didn't last long ! +There is a tornado warning on . My mother just told me she heard it on the radio . +What is a tornado warning ? +It means that a tornado has been seen somewhere in the area . +Really ? In New Berlin ? +No . Not necessarily in town . But in southern Wisconsin somewhere . A tornado has been spotted . They have two stages here.This is what is called a tornado watch . That means that the weather conditions are perfect for a tornado . +I understand . They think a tornado might come . +Yes . People should look out , because maybe there will be tornadoes coming.So it's called a watch . +And the second stage is called a tornado warning . +Yes . If a tornado has been spotted , they announce a tornado warning.So if there's a tornado warning on , it means a tornado is out there somewhere . +It's scary . +Well . Tornadoes can be dangerous , it's true.If we hear something like a loud train coming , then we have to go in the basement . +What do you mean a loud train ? +That is what tornadoes sound like . They sound like trains . They're very loud . +But if you hear them coming , isn't it already too late ? +Maybe . It depends on the tornado.Some can move across the ground at 200 miles an hour.That is very fast . Others aren't so fast . +Have you seen a lot of them ? +I've only seen one in my life . I was looking out the window . It was around two miles away . It was very interesting to watch.But it was heading toward my friend's house . So I quickly called them on the phone . +Did it hit their house ? +No , it didn't . But they are glad I called them . +What were they doing when you called ? +They were all sitting in the living room watching TV.They had no idea a tornado was coming toward their house.If it had hit them , they could have all been killed . +That's terrible . Do many people die in tornadoes ? +Not so many really . But a lot of houses are destroyed sometimes . +Is this your brother-in-law ? +Yes , he married my sister ten years ago . +From his looks , I'd say he's a man of character . +Yes , my sister loves his personality . +What about you , Ernie ? How did you get into pop music ? +Well I always hear it on the radio , so I started to get into it . +Yeah , if something is on the radio it must be really good . +I totally agree ! +Hello , Mary . Why are you standing here in the cold wind ? +I ’ m waiting for a bus and going for a walk in the park . +Going for a walk in such a cold weather ? +I always like to go for a walk before a supper . +I see . +Can you tell Bob from Tom ? +How can I ? They're as alike as two peas in a pod . +Don't you notice that Bob has a mole on his face , but Tom does not . +You really have keen eyes . +I have a problem . +What's the problem ? +My mattress was supposed to be delivered today . +Is there a problem ? +The delivery people showed up four hours late . +I apologize for their tardiness . +I was late for work because of them . +Again , I do apologize for the inconvenience . +I want my money back for the delivery . +Seeing as they were late , that won't be a problem . +It shouldn't be a problem . +I'm going to refund your money right now . +Hi , my name is Pete . You are Ann . Isn't that right ? +Hi Pete , how do you know my name ? +Do you see that girl in the red top ? She told me who you were . +Oh Andrea , the Spanish girl ? +Yes , that's her . +I met her last week at a party . Anyway , you must be from the United States ? +Actually I live in London , but my family lives in Seattle . +Oh , I am from London as well . +Where in London do you live ? +In Wimbledon - quite close to the tennis courts actually . Which is very nice because I love tennis . +I play tennis there every week . Shall we have a game one day ? +That would be lovely . But now let's go and get a drink . +Every year , the South has the floods . It is an act of God . +Do you really think so ? +Yeah , you have some other ideas ? +Think , in some way it is an act of God , but in another way , it just is caused by us . +For example ? +We didn't pay attention to the environment , cut down trees and polluted the air . +Oh , I see . Fortunately government has taken some action to prevent such things . +John got a heart attack last night . +Oh really ? Is he all right ? +Not so good , though his nephew took him to hospital in time . +Poor old John ! I am ever so sorry . +Watch out ! You're too close to the fire place . +Don't worry , but my clothes are made of leathers . +Really ? That's wonderful ! +Thank you for your warning . +Not at all . +Be careful of yourself . +You talked like the Terminator for two months ? Wow , I think you liked that movie even more than I liked ' Titanic . ' Why did you like ' Terminator ' so much ? +Well , ' Terminator ' is a really great action movie , and I like action movies because they're exciting . +Isn't ' Terminator ' really violent ? I usually don't like gory movies because they gross me out . +It is pretty violent , but since it's just robots fighting one another , it isn't very bloody and so it won't gross you out . +Hmm ... I don't know . Even though it may not be gory , I think it would still totally freak me out . +So do you believe in palmistry ? +Palmistry ? What is that ? +It's when someone takes a look at another person's palm 4 to tell the future . +Oh , you mean palm reading 5 . I've seen that before , but I don't believe in it . +Are you sure ? I've read a lot about palmistry and I've been able to tell a lot of accurate things about a person from his palm . Do you want me to take a look at your hand ? +Really ? You've read books about it ? Ok , then . But only if you want to . +Ok , let's see , well , you've got a long life line , which is good , and the love line is strong ... +What else do you see ? Will I be successful ? Will I make a lot of money ? +Hmm , hard to say , wait , yes , it looks like you will do well in business , and your ambition will help you a lot , but ... +What ? What is it ? What's the matter ? +You seem to have a large gullibility line . You believe everything that you're told . +Hey ! +I heard through the grapevine that Michael probably become the new sales manager . +How did you get wind of the rumor ? +I am not a rumor monger . +Let ’ s stop gossiping and get back to work . +Melissa ? I ’ d like to invite you to my wife ’ s birthday party . +Thanks , Frank . I ’ d love to come . When is it ? +Her birthday is on the 9th . We ’ re going to have dinner at a Mexican restaurant , and then maybe go out dancing . +Sounds like fun . You can count me in ! Just give me directions to the restaurant . +Hello , Janet . +Good morning , Pete . +And what is this ? +Ah , this is my daughter's birthday present . Her birthday is next week . +And when is your son's birthday ? +That is not for a while . His birthday is only in August . +But Mark's birthday is in April so I need to think about his present soon . +And when is your birthday ? +Oh , my birthday is in December just before Xmas so of course nobody remembers . +My birthday is in June , when we are always on holiday . So my family often forgets my birthday too . +Thank you very much for everything you have done for me during my stay in China . +And I must thank you again for your generous help . +The help is mutual . I must thank you to see me off . My wife and I will be looking forward to seeing you . You will come to see us , won't you ? +I promise I will take the first chance to call on you . Please send your wife with my best regards . +How do you usually spend your leisure time ? I mean , do you have any special interests out of your job ? +Of course . You see , almost everyone has some kind of hobby +Yeah , you ’ re quite right and what ’ s your hobby ? +I like taking photos out of door . +Oh , photography , It ’ s really a good hobby . +Yes , I usually develop and print all my own photos . +You yourself have a photo studio ? +Yes , simple as it is . t does work . +Can I help you ? +Yes , can I return this article , please ? +May I know the reason , madam ? +You see , I bought it for my husband , but he doesn't like it . +When did you buy it ? +Last Saturday . +Can I see the receipt ? +Yes , here you are . +Well , if there is no damage , you can return it . +hey , Lily , what are you doing ? +waiting for someone . +you mean the boy you met on MSN ? +you're right . He is so funny and I think I'm in love with him . +you must be joking . You can't fall in love with someone you've never met ! +I know , but I keep thinking of him every day . And I get really depressed when he's not online . +I think it's just a crush . You can't be serious . +well , this might be silly . But I just can't get him off my mind . And I can't help missing him . +did you tell him ? +yes . He said I'm his dream girl . +you shouldn't take it too seriously . It might be a lie . +I know . I can't tell whether he's serious or not so I need your advice . +I think you should enlarge your circle of real life friends , and then the right person will come along . +hi , Natasha , how's life ? +great . My family came to visit me . +oh , you must be very happy . How many people are there in your family ? +my immediate family is very large . It's my mother , my father , my two older brothers , my younger sister and me . +I have a small family . They are my parents , my younger brother and me . +I thought you were the only child in the family . Didn't China practice the only-child policy in the early 1980s ? +yes , it did . But my parents are ethnic minority people . It's a preferential policy for an ethnic minority family to have two children . +interesting . What do you think about families with only one child ? +the child must feel very longly . My younger brother is 10 years younger than me . Before he was born , I used to be the only child and always dreamed that I would have a younger sister or brother one da +do you get along well with each other ? +yes , we are very close . He is 12 years old and very smart . He always makes us laugh a lot . +you are very lucky to have such a nice family . +thank you . +Is there a city where it's always warm ? +Yes , there are many cities where it's almost always warm.San Diego , for example . +Are there any other cities where it's always hot ? +Many.Most of the cities in the southern part of the United States are hot all year . +But why do so many people live there ? +Most people grow accustomed to the climate , but there are many others who complain about it all the time . +Are there any cities where it rains a lot ? +Several.Two good examples are Seattle , in the state of Washington , and Portland , Oregon . +Tell us about some cold cities . +In the north there are many cities which are very cold in the winter.Boston and Chicago are two of them . +Is it always cold in Chicago and Boston ? +Oh , no.On the contrary , there are many beautiful days , especially in the spring and fall . +Did you read this ? It says that the number one new years resolution make is to spend more time with friends and family . +Why would that be funny ? +Well , think about it . We are a society that is always on the go , not because we have to , but because we want to . +Why ? +We work hard and spend less time at home because we are trying to provide for our family with goods and services that are usually unnecessary . +I don ’ t agree , but anyways , I think you should start thinking of a new year ’ s resolution yourself . +What ’ s the point ? We always make a new year ’ s resolution and by February we will have forgotten about it . It ’ s pointless . +Well then maybe you should resolve to sticking to your goals and objectives . +What about you ? Your gym bag is gathering dust and you still have brand new running shoes that are yet to be jogged in . +Well , I would go if you kept your promise of going to the gym with me everyday ! +Yeah , yeah , whatever . +You don ’ t look like enjoying this workout . +I ’ m not crazy about it at all . +You don ’ t like this sort of exercise ? +I ’ m not interested in it . Are you keen on it ? +Yes , that ’ s funny . I thought you liked it . +I hate it . +Never mind . It ’ ll be over in 10 minutes . +It ’ s the worst thing I ’ Ve ever tried . +Bye . Take care . +You too . +I'm afraid I've had a terrible row with my boss . What shall I do ? +I think you'd better apologize . +Oh , but I can't . It wasn't my fault . +Maybe not , but I advice you to say it was your fault . +Jack , what are you doing ? +I am reading . +I can see that . But why are you reading advertisements for houses for sale ? Are you buying a house ? +No , not yet . But I like to see what is available . +Can I have a look as well ? +Of course , have a seat . +Oh , this one looks really good . And look at the garden . So beautiful . +Yes , nice . But I prefer this wooden house with a garden fence and a sloping roof . +Yes , but my house has large windows and so gets lots of sun . And it has a small balcony at the top . +Well , you can't compare a small balcony to this large veranda . This is perfect for having a barbecue in summer . +Talking about a barbecue , didn't you say you are organizing one next week ? +Yes , next Saturday . I hope you can make it . +John , do you mind helping me prepare for the picnic ? +Sure . Have you checked the weather report ? +Yes . It says it will be sunny all day . No sign of rain at all . +I'd like some toast and chicken wings . +Okay . Please take some fruit salad and crackers for me . +Done . Oh , don't forget to take napkins , disposable plates , cups and picnic blanket . +That's great . We can also take the dragon kite with us . After the picnic , we can fly it . +Cool , we can take shuttlecock and badminton racket . +Okay , it sounds good . +How ’ s your trip going ? +Oh I ’ m enjoying myself but it ’ s so hot here +Isn ’ t London hot in the summer ? +Well it can be but Shanghai is much warmer than London . +I see . What about transport ? How does Shanghai compare to London ? +Actually I think the buses and trains here are more modern . +And what about the number of people on the streets ? +Oh , I think Shanghai is much more crowded than London . +Mom , can you talk about the philosophy of life with me ? +You got me on that one . +Do you like the Harry potter books and movies ? +Not really ! +Why not ? They are very fun and exiting . +Maybe , but I think they are just for kids . +No , that ’ s not true . Many adults like the Harry potter books too . +Maybe they don ’ t agree with my taste . +Hi , Anna . I haven ’ t seen you for ages . Where have you been ? +I ’ Ve been away on holidays for sometime . +No wonder I haven ’ t seen you recently . Where did you spend your holidays ? +I went with my husband . Our first stop was Bangkok . We stayed there for 5 days . Then we flew to Hong Kong , stopover for 3 days . Our last stop was China . We visited the Great Wall . +You must have a wonderful time . +Yes . We enjoyed ourselves very much . Have you traveled much , Luke ? +No , my wife doesn ’ t like traveling . We haven ’ t been traveling for more than ten years . The first time we traveled together was in 1978 when we just got married . We spent our honeymoon in the Alps . +Oh , I see . Yeah . Some people like traveling , some don ’ t . My husband didn ’ t like traveling at first , either . He said what ’ s the use of traveling ? A waste of money and a waste of time.At last I got him on the move . After all , he loved me . We went to Bali , Indonesia , one of the most beautiful places in the world . That trip left a very deep impression on him . Since then whenever we have holidays and money , we ’ d like to patronize the travel agency . Isn ’ t it a bit dull to shut yourself at one place all your life ? +Hey , the pool's open now ! +As of today it is . Memorial Day marks the end of the school year and the beginning of summer . +So it's time for the kids to get outdoors ... +... and for us to get tans in our new bikinis . +Not this Taiwanese girl . We don't like to get suntans . +That's smart these days with all the news on skin cancer . Hey , there's everybody ! We made it ! +Donna , you really shocked everyone at the party last night ! +You mean with my performance ? +Yes ! We have all assumed that you were the quiet , shy type . +I guess everyone has a few secrets up their sleeve . +Where did you learn to sing like that ? +I was part of a band in school . +You ? Wow . And why don't you ever dress like that at work ? +Come on ! This is work . Don't you think that would be a little weird ? +Would you like to join the drama club ? +Sure . +Why do you want to join it ? +It's very exciting . I think . +Hey man ! How ’ s it hanging ? +Hey man ! Everything is just groovy baby ! +Did you go to the roller rink on Saturday ? I heard it was far out , man ! +I wanted to , but I ran into this foxy lady that just moved to my block ! I was chatting her up a bit and then we mellowed out at her place . +Right on , right on ! Well , Jim went to the rink with Sherry and he said it was dy-no-mite ! He was low on bread , but Sherry paid for everything . +Gravy ! Jim is such a jive turkey man . He is always hitting me up for cash . Anyway , you wanna book and go grab some grub ? +Yeah man , I ’ m starving ! +Did you do anything fun over the weekend ? +I didn't want to go out last weekend , so I decided to stay at home and watch a movie . +Why didn't you want to go out ? +I was very tired after working all week . Sometimes on the weekend I don't have enough energy to go out to a movie theater . +Did you download a movie or rent it at the store ? +I downloaded it so that I didn't have to remember to return it . +I'm not a VIP . +You're too humble . +Is there a lot of crime in your city ? +There ’ s some , but I don ’ t think it ’ s a big problem . A lot of it is petty crime , burglary and car theft . There ’ s very little major crime . +It ’ s the same in my city . We also have a lot of drug addicts . A lot of the crime is committed by drug addicts who need money for drugs . +That happens in many places . In my city , there is a very good drug rehabilitation program . The police and courts are also tough on people who commit crimes , but I don ’ t know if that ’ s the reason for our relatively low crime rate . +Some people believe that a tough approach is better . Other prefer a more lenient approach . +I think that the best way to reduce crime is to spread wealth more evenly . If most people have similar amounts of money , they will not think of stealing from others . +That ’ s possible , but I ’ m not sure it would really happen like that . +I really should be on my way . +Oh , don ’ t go yet . Let ’ s at least have one more . +No , thank you . I can ’ t . +It ’ s too bad that you have to leave so early . +Thank you very much . I had a really good time . +Thanks for coming ! We should meet again sometime soon . +That would be great ! Actually , can I get your phone number , Ella ? That ’ s assuming you don ’ t mind if I call you sometime . +Anytime . You can reach me 5558929 . +ok , got it . I ’ ll call you sometime next week . +Fine . +It ’ s time to go and I hope we can get together again soon . +I hope so , too . Bye ! Ben . +He said he will get married by the end of this month . +Big talk , I ’ d say . He does not have a girlfriend yet . +Who knows . After all , he is handsome and rich . +My son closed his ear to what I said . I don ’ t know what I should do . +You can twist his arm in order to have a control of him . +I cannot have the heart to do that . +I got a raise . +I'm glad to hear that . +I would love to be famous and have thousands of adoring fans . +Really ? I ’ m not sure that I would like all the attention . There have been numerous cases of paparazzi interfering with star ’ s private live in recent years . +I love being photographed ! If I were famous , I ’ d do interviews for all the top magazines , like cosmo and elle . +I wouldn ’ t mind having my photo taken a few times or being interviewed once or twice , but it would get tedious after a while . Imagine the things the gossip columnists would write about you . +no-one really believes gossip columnists . +I think you ’ ll find that many people believe what they read in gossip columns . You ’ d also have to be very careful about every word you said . If you appeared on a chat show and said something silly , it would be reported in all the newspapers and magazines . +I think you ’ re right about that . I ’ d need a good manager to be my spokesperson . I could do a lot of charity work , which would help a lot of people . +That ’ s a great idea . Which charities would you support ? +I love children , as you know , so probably a children ’ s charity . +You ’ d have to remember that anything you said or did might reflect on the charity , so you ’ d really need to be very careful . Anyway , I ’ d be the first to buy your posters and I ’ d attend your first book-singing when you wrote your autobiography . +Thanks , but actually I was hoping I could ask you to write my biography . +Have you ever thought about Tom ’ s attitude ? +I ’ Ve cut it upland come to the conclusion that hi is actually sick of Jenny ’ s brother . But he likes Jenny . She is a big apple in his eye . +Love me , love my dog . He ’ s a sensible kind man . +That ’ s why many people look up to him . +What do you think of the new television channel ? Aren't the programs awful ? +I quite agree with you . They are terrible . They are complete waste of time , but my wife disagrees with me . +Actually , what bothers me is the violence . There are far too many detective and police shows . +I couldn't agree with you more . There aren't enough educational programs , and even the news shows are not well done . +You are absolutely right . They are too brief . They don't tell you anything . +do you mind if I sit here ? +no , of course not . Go ahead . +don't I know you ? +yes , now that you mention it , I think we had a chemistry class together in high school . +you're right ! How are you ? It's been a long time ! +What did you do after high school ? +I went straight to university afterwards . What about you ? +I took a year off to go travelling . +that sounds exciting . Where did you go ? +I went all over the world . It was the best year of my life . Where did you go to school ? +I went to a small school in Connecticut . It has a very good reputation for its languages department . +Oh , did you study a foreign language ? +yes , I got a grant to study Chinese . +that's a very difficult language to learn , isn't it ? +it is , but it's very rewarding . +so you can speak Chinese ? +I can , but not as well as I'd like to . I'll be studying Chinese until the day I die ! +I think most languages take a lifetime to learn well . +Hi , Mary , I didn't see you at work this morning . Are you all right ? +Oh , I feel miserable . I've got a bad cold , My head is dizzy and my nose is running . +Oh , I'm so sorry to hear that . Have you seen a doctor or taken any medicines ? +As a matter of fact I have , The doctor said it'll go away after a day or two.He ' s prescribed me some tablets . +Are you feeling better ? +Yes , it helps me but I just have to wait and let my system do the work . +Do you need anything , grocery ? +Oh , no , I'm fine.My refrigerator is piled up with food.But if it's not too much trouble for you . I'd like something to read . +Sure , I'll get it for you.Books or magazines ? +I'd like both . +Sally , I ’ m tired of this Western food . I really miss my mother ’ s Sichuan cooking . +I ’ m sure you do miss that type of cooking . But can ’ t you try to get used to Western food ? +I have tried . But Americans like butter , bread , sugar , and cream too much . +I suppose you ’ re right , Lee . Maybe that ’ s why so many Westerners are overweight . +It ’ s interesting that Americans work very hard at their jobs , do not take naps during the day , and yet they can be so heavy . +You see , because we are often busy working , we eat too much fast food , and that food is very fattening . +I was thinking about applying for the new position . +Do you think that is a good idea ? +It seems like a good idea but I am not really sure . +What are your main concerns ? +Well , it would give me a chance to grow , but I am wondering if I would like the job . +I know what you mean , I've thought about that myself . +I am also thinking about the pay . +Could you take a slight pay decrease for a chance to move forward ? +Yes , it might be worth it . I am not certain . +I think I'm convinced that trying for this position is the best choice for you . +The murderer was sentenced to life imprisonment . +It ’ s severe punishment , I think . +Yeah , because he just killed a man in cold blood . +No wonder . +David , what have you been up to lately ? +I went on a trip with my family last week . +Really ? Where did you go ? +We went to Europe . +What cities did you go to ? +London , Paris and a few other cities . +Did you go to Berlin ? +No , We didn't go there . I'd like to go there next time . +I think this summer is a good time to visit Berlin . It's a beautiful place and the people there are very nice . +That's what I've heard . +I went there last year . If you want , I can give you some information I have about the city . +Thanks . +Look at this survey conducted by a website . A quarter of the employees will spend an average of 10 minutes everyday online doing personal things . Hi , Francis , what about you ? +Well , I just spend 15 minutes as so checking my stock bonds and booking an air ticket for my mother . Anyway , I have done all my work and it is about the time to leave . +Though our company doesn ’ t have a return policy , limiting the personal use of internet , I don ’ t think the boss will like us to do that . +Certainly , work always comes first . +But it is lucky for us . The company computers don ’ t have software keeping tracks of websites we visit . I have shopped too often online these days . +Well , keep a low profile . +Have you started your report yet ? +I'm having a hard time getting the information . +It's easy . You only have to search the internet in order to get the information you're looking for . +Oh , I didn't think of that . +The principal just announced that Dr . Smith is going to take over as dean of our department . +Oh . +Why are you so calm ? Are you not surprised to hear this ? +No , I knew it all along . He was the obvious choice . +Do you think he can do well ? +A new broom sweeps clean anyway . +Where are you from , Laura ? +Well , my whole family is in the United States now , but we're from Costa Rica originally . +Oh , so you're from South America . +Actually , Costa Rica isn't in South America . It's in Central America . +Oh , right . My geography isn't very good ! +Flight BE407 to Rome is delayed . Will passengers please wait in the lounge . +Oh , How annoying ! +The time of departure will be announced as soon as possible . +It ’ s infuriating . I have to be in Rome by five . +After you . +No , after you . Ladies first . +That's very kind of you . +Hi , Tina , I've got good news . I have successfully passed the first two rounds of interview with ABC Company . They informed me to go to the final round next Monday . It looks very promising . +That is awesome . Congratulations ! I know you can make it . +Thanks . Let's go for a celebration this evening . Are you free ? +Yes . Wait for me at the cafe down my office building . Say 5 PM , ok ? +No problem . See you ! +See you ! +Are you going to leave school at the end of the term ? +Yes , I am . +What are you going to do ? +I'm going to be a clerk . +What does a clerk do ? +He works in an office . He writes letters and reports , and he types . +I want to be a vet . +A-what ? +A vet-a veterinary surgeon . +Good gracious ! What's that ? +A vet's a man who takes care of sick animals . He's an animal doctor . +I once read a story about a person who talked to animals . It was very interesting . +Hello Michael . +Hello Todd . +We're going to talk about Australia . Or your going to talk about Australia . So first of all how any people live in Australia ? +Australia ? Oh , there's about twenty million people in Australia right now . A little bit under , but close to twenty . +OK . What are the biggest cities ? +The biggest city ? The biggest city is Sydney , then it's followed by Melbourne and then Brisbane and then I think it's Perth . But most of the big cities are on the East Coast of Australia . And Perth is on the west coast , but sort of of out there by itself . +OK . Um , if you had to live in one place where would you live ? +I like Brisbane . I had my teenage years in Brisbane , growing up in Brisbane , um or maybe Sidney because it is a big city , but Brisbane has got the gold coast and the sunshine . +Oh , nice . Actually , what is the capital city of Australia ? +Ah , Canberra is the capital city . But is not the biggest city . Sydney is the biggest city . Canberra was made sort of by the politicians so Sydney wouldn't get to crowded . It's a separate territory . +Jim was late again . +It's not like him to be late . +Can you tell me what the date and time of our field trip is ? +We are leaving on our science field trip at 8 a . m . next Monday . Do you have something to write that down on ? +Yes , I can write that on my calendar . +That will be on the second of December . Be there half an hour early to get your bags on the bus . Do you understand ? +Yes , I understand . +The bus will bring you back 6 days later on December 8th . Is someone coming to get you ? +No , I don't have a ride yet . +We will be leaving the campground at 5 in the evening and arrive at our campus at 8 p.m.Any more questions . +How much will the trip cost ? +I put all of that information in the packet . I'll give you another copy if you need one . See you on Monday ! +I've just been a little depressed lately . +What's wrong ? +Nothing really . +Then just keep your chin up . +You know , Mary , I feel we meet somewhere before . Where were you born ? +I was born in Beijing , but I spent most of my childhood in London . +What was your childhood like ? +I had a pretty strict upbringing , and my parents taught at an university so they have extremely high expectations for me . +Where did you go to university ? +My parents wanted me to stay in Beijing , but I decided to go back to England . I graduated from University of Newcastle upon Tyne with a degree in Cross Culture Communication . +What is your current occupation ? +I am a journalist . I write for China Daily . +Hi Amy , you look very happy . +Yes , I'm very pleased . I've just got two tickets to see the Olympic opening ceremony . +Wow . You must be very excited . +I certainly am . I would have been very disappointed if I hadn ’ t got them . +Shall we go to a restaurant to celebrate ? +What a good idea . I'm quite hungry . +Me too . I feel very thirsty as well . +Let ’ s go then . +I don't think the lecture is very interesting . +The lecturer is dull , too . +I feel he's like a talking machine . +I feel the same way . +Steven , I need badly your help . +What's the matter ? +My wife has found that I have an affair with my secretary , and now she is going to divorce me . +How could you cheat on your wife ? You have been married for ten years . +Yes , I know I'm wrong . But I swear that the affair lasts only for two months . And I still love my wife . I couldn't live without her . +I will try my best to persuade her to reconsider the divorce . But are you sure that from now on you will be faithful to her forever ? +Yes , I swear . +Mary has really gotten under my skin . +I know what love it . When I was young , I felt the same way . +I think I ’ m crazy about her . +You are , why not ask for a date ? +finally we're on board ! +yes . It was so crowded . I'm worn-out . Let's find our seats . +are they window seats or aisle seats ? +let me see ... yes , one window seat and one aisle seat . +ok . But can I trade my seat with you ? I prefer the one near the window . I'm a terrible flyer . I always get airsick and can never relax until after I've landed . +that's fine . I'd like to be on the aisle anyway . It's easier to get in and out . +thanks . Where shall we put our luggage ? +I think the smaller carry-on bag can go in the overhead compartment , and the others can go under the seat . +good idea . +don't forget to keep the seat belt on . +ok . Hope it's a pleasant trip . +yes ! +and no hijackers . +oh , you have too wild of an imagination . +I want to have a complete relaxation this weekend . +You mean you want to stay at home ? +Yes , exactly . +I thought maybe you were interested in an outing . +I like football best of all . +Do you ? +It's a very good game . +Do you watch it or do you still play it ? +I only watch now . +hi , my name's Abby . What's your name ? +I'm colin . It's nice to meet you . What do you do ? +I'm a freelance English teacher . How about you ? +I'm in between jobs at the moment . +what kind of job are you looking for ? +I'd like to find a job with flexible hours in the IT field . +have you ever thought about becoming a freelance IT consultant ? +no . Is it difficult to find such a job ? +not if you are good at net-working . Do you like to meet new people ? +yes . I'm pretty out-going and friendly . +do you have experience in the IT field ? +I have some . I worked in the IT department at a language school for four years in Spain . +do you speak Spanish ? +yes , but not fluently . +that's OK . Have you sent your CV out to anyone yet ? +I've sent my CV to dozens of companies but nobody has got back to me . +did you write a clear objective in your resume ? +no , because I didn't know what I wanted to do . +I think you need to update your CV . Bring it over to my office tomorrow and I'll help you with it . +thanks , I will . I'll see you tomorrow then ! +Who's that over here ? +That's the new teacher . +What do you think of the teacher ? +She's very nice . +What does she teach ? +English , of course . +Is she your teacher ? +Yes.She teaches our class three times a week . +Can she speak Chinese to her students ? +Not very much . +It's a good thing you can speak English ! +The Phoenix team overpowered its counterpart 86 to 50 . +They're absolutely right to get a replacement for 21 . +If the Phoenix beats the Rocket , it will enter the final . +No way , if it still has 21 . +Julie , is that you ? +Yes . And you're Paul , right ? Paul Hill ? +Yes , it's me . And you're Julie Ashley . How are you ? +I'm fine . After ten years , you still look great ! +So do you ! How are you doing ? +Not bad . Let's find a table and sit down . We have a lot to talk about . +Okay , let's sit over there . +Marquet , do you think I should enroll in the science course ? +Yes , I think so , If you want to graduated this year , you've got to take a science course . +Right , I figure since you are doing premedical , you know about the very courses . +Well , I have to take biology , chemistry , maps and physics . What you need is a good introductory course for non-science majors . +Yes , I really weak in maps , I did poorly in high school . +That's a problem . +Do you like traveling ? +Yes . I ’ Ve just come back from Scotland . +Where did you visit ? +I only had time to visit Edinburgh . +How did you like it ? +It ’ s fantastic . +Where did you go there . +I went to there on business . +And do you have friend there ? +Yes , a lot of friends . +You must enjoy yourself . +Yes . And I took many pictures . +Hello , Chandler ! How are you ? +Fine . And you ? +Just so so . I am too tired . My company has been holding too many training sessions lately . +That's good . Not Evey company provides employees with training opportunity . It seems that your company wants to further develop their employees and encouragelifelong learning . +Good ? ! For them but not to me . +So , what's the problem ? +We have to participate in training after a busy day and during the weekend . You know , after work all you want to do is throw yourself onto your bed . And during the Weekend , you just want to stay at home and enjoy a family dinner . +Yes , you are right . But one should keep learning daily to maintain our keen mental power expand our intellectual capacity . Constant learning drive us to Sharp our power of reasoning , analysis and judgement . +Yes , I agree with you on the point but couldn't the training be held during the working day instead of weekend ? +Yes , you are right . I think weekend is the time for family gathering and rest Maybe you could make that suggestion to your boss . +The company is selecting three employees to attend the marketing seminar next month . Did you put your name in for it ? +No , I don't really care too much for seminars ... I find them to be either boring ot useless . I mean , how much can you really learn in one afternoon ? +It's not just about the things that you learn , you know ... seminars are a really great opportunity to mingle and network with professionals in our industry from all over the nation . You can learn a few things , but more importantly , you rub shoulders with the business leaders and make contacts that could lead to potential sales or partnerships in the future . The social mixers are always more important than the seminars anyway . +I'm still not too jazzed about going ... I feel kind of awkward in those cocktail party situations . +Well , what if I told you the seminar is going to be held in Hawaii ? Does that perk your interest ? +Now you're talking . +I think I'll write a book . +What about ? +All of the time tested healthy habits from around the world . +You have done a lot of traveling . I'll bet you've learned quite a bit . +The interesting thing is to see what really works and what's just hype . +Because you can see the results with the general public ? +That's right . I think we all have much we can learn from each other . +I would buy that kind of book ! +I heard that you went to the concert the day before ? How did you like it ? +It was terrific.The concert was really a hit.The symphony orchestra was so good that I was completely absorbed in their performance . +Who was the conductor ? +Oh , speaking of the conductor , he is indeed a genius.He did a perfect job.His name is Menuhin , a descendent of Russian American immigrants . +Oh , I learned that he is also a legendary violinist . +Absolutely right.He gave a performance of Felix Mendelssohn's violin concerto.That caused a sensation.The audience were stunned by his pure tone . +Obviously you did enjoy the concert . +Yes , I did . +Hi , Daniel , how are you holding up ? I am greatly sorry for your loss . +Thank you , I ’ m doing much better . I ’ Ve begun organizing everything for the funeral . +How ’ s that going ? +It ’ s a lot harder than I imagined . There are many things that you have to to arrange . I booked a time and date with the funeral home , but I still have a lot of things to do . +Have you bought a burial plot and a casket ? +No . Wendy is being cremated . She always talked about how she didn ’ t want to be buried . I already chose a cremation urn and we plan to spread the ashes in the ocean . +I see , that sounds like something she would have really liked . I am sure the memorial service will be tasteful . You are doing a great job . +Thanks , it hasn ’ t been easy , but luckily we have life insurance and Wendy left behind a detailed will that will sort out any other legal matters . +Hey , guys ! +Hi ! Nicole ! +How's business ? +Great . We can't keep up with the demand . +Wow ! I'm impressed ! +How about you ? +I quit my job as a food critic . +Then let me take you out to dinner to celebrate . +You can't beat me at tennis . +Do you want to bet ? +Song , I hate to say goodbye , but I have to . +Nice meeting you , Kevin . I hope to see you again . +Let's keep in touch . +Sure , let's . Goodbye , then . +Shakespeare was born in 1867 . +No , it sounds wrong . He was born in the 16th century . +Are you sure ? Can you make it more exact ? +1564 . +How is he ? +Not very well . He was white about the gills . +Did he see the doctor ? +Yeah , but he refused to take the medicine . +Why ? +I don't know the reason . +When will our party be held ? +Next Wednesday . +Have you sent out invitations by our party ? +Yes , I have . +When ? +Ten days ago . +Could Dr.Cole like to attend the party ? +Yes , he will . +That's fine . +What's the score ? +The Ukraine team took the lead by 3 to 1 at the end of the first half . +The Russian team needs to tie the Ukraine to get the pass for the final . +It doesn't seem to be so easy . +what are you looking for ? +I want to buy a new camcorder for my trip this summer . +do you know what camcorder options are available ? +not really . I thought I'd just have a look today . +would you like to look at the new digital camcorders that have just come in ? +sure . I'd like to see the smallest camcorder that you have first . +ok . This Sony model is their newest and our most popular camcorder . Why don't you see if you like the way it feel ? +it's very light . That would be good . How is the battery life ? +it's got an above-average battery life . It lasts up tp 12 hours and can be charged in 30 minutes . +can you also take still photos with this ? +yes , that is an option . +how about night vision ? Can you use it in the dark ? +yes . I can show you examples of some footages that was taken with this camera in the dark . +that's not bad at all . How's the microphone ? Does it pick up much sound ? +It can record any sound that's within about 8 feet of the camera . +how does that compare with other models ? +there are models that can pick up more sound than this one , but they're much bigger and heavier than this one . +I guess you can't have everything , can you ? +Do you think what I did to Elvin was out of line ? +You could have tried to explain to him about the new programmers . +Elvin doesn't want any programming help . He wants all the glory for himself . +You might be right . He does think pretty highly of himself . +Did you hear the names he was calling me ? +I heard . But did you have to tear out his nose ring ? +Are things still going badly with your house guest ? +It ’ s getting worse . Now he ’ s eating me out of house and home . I ’ Ve tried talking to him but it all goes in one ear and out the other . He makes himself at home , which is fine . But what really gets me is that yesterday he walked into the living room in the raw and I had company over ! That was the last straw . +leo , I really think you ’ re beating around the bush with this guy . I know he used to be your best friend in college , but I really think it ’ s time to lay down the law . +You ’ re right . Everything is probably going to come to a head tonight . I ’ ll keep you informed . +Why don't you come round for a meal one evening next week ? +I'd love to . +Which day would suit you ? +Any day except Tuesday . +How about Thursday ? +Yes , Thursday would be fine . What time shall I come ? +Oh , about 6:00 . Will that be OK ? +Yes , of course . Thank you very much . +See you on Thursday , then . +Bob , I'm really upset with you . +I'm sorry , I didn't mean to forget our wedding anniversary . +You forgot it last year as well . +I know , I'm sorry . +Belinda , I ’ m going to a party tonight . What shall I wear ? +Is it formal or informal ? +I guess it ’ s formal . +Then , you should dress well . +That ’ s right . +I think a white shirt with a blue tie looks nice on you . +You are smart . +Of course , the sports shoes don ’ t go with the formal occasions . +You are right . What kind of shoes should I wear ? +The brown leather shoes go well with your trousers . +Good idea . Oh , by the way , would you please pick me up after the party , honey ? +It ’ ll be too late ; you ’ d better take a taxi . +OK . +What's his job ? +He used to be a policeman . +But Mrs.Smith hired him to find her lost son . +Yeah . He's a private eye now . +Let ' s got out tomorrow night . We can go to a bar and try to find you a girlfriend . +I don ' t think that ' s a good idea . I am just not good with approaching someone and starting up a conversation . +Maybe you just need a few pick-up lines , you know , break the ice . +Pick-up lines don ' t work ! +Come on ! You can just walk up to a girl and say “ If you were a booger I \ ' d pick you first . ” +What ? Come on ! That ’ s just lame ! No girl would fall for that ! +Fine , then you can say , “ So there you are ! I ' Ve been looking all over for YOU , the woman of my dreams ! ” +That ' s a good one ! I think that ' s pretty funny . +Yeah , so you make her laugh , you make a fool of yourself a little bit and then you buy her a drink . +Ok , how does this sound , “ I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there . So I am going to need your name and number for insurance purposes . ” +Nice ! Let ' s go ! +At their last meeting , the stockholders voted unanimously to block the merger of our company with Blycore . All the executive committee was in favor of the merger ... I don't understand how the stockholders could have so much power to throw a wrench in the plans ... +If they all unite on a certain issue , it's the stockholders who have the final say . You'd think it might be our CEO or the workers , but in fact , the stockholders control the money so they have the most power . +Is it really that simple ? It doesn't seem very efficient to run things that way ... +It might not be the most efficient , but if you think about it , it makes pretty good sense . The stockholders are our investors . They own the capital in our company , so they should have say about what is done with the company . +I guess I'd buy that ... +Did you go to the concert last weekend ? +No , I didn't . And you ? Was it good ? +Yes , I did . I enjoyed it a lot.There was a folk singer , a violinist and a pianist . +How much was the ticket ? +I only paid two dollars for mine . +Great ! I landed on Classic Movies . +I didn't know you liked old movies . +I love them , especially the all-time greats like Gone With the Wind . +You're so right ! Today's movies are just too commercial ! +Sometimes I think Oscars are only awarded to movies that make a lot of money . +Why are you asking me about my boyfriend ? +Well , Brad from school asked me out just today . +Brad Bush ? Good for you ! +But I don't know what to do . +You mean you've never had a boyfriend ? +My mom says no boyfriend until I'm in college . +Until college ? +Actually , that's what a lot of parents in Taiwan say to their kids . +Now that it ’ s the new year , I ’ Ve decided to turn over a new leaf . +Yeah ? You finally decided to wipe the slate clean ? +You got it ! I have a new job , I ’ m living in a new city , with new friends ! This is my opportunity to make some small changes in the way I live my life . +So what are you going to do ? Take up an art class or something ? +Well , first of all , I ’ Ve decided to stop smoking . It ’ s not that I ’ m pinching pennies or anything , it ’ s just that I ’ Ve been smoking since I was sixteen , and I think it ’ s time to stop . +I ’ m with you on that one . Anything else you ’ re planning on doing ? +One last thing , I ’ Ve decided to come out of the closet . +It ’ s about time ! +Why are you in such a hurry ? +I should finish it as soon as possible . +Don't worry , do it step by step +Why can I learn it ? +Don't worry , do it step by step . +I feel I really stupid . +Hey , Frank , there is that Janet chick . +Wow , what a great burd ! +She sure knows how to strut her stuff . +She's a real turn-on , alright ? +And look out she's dressed . +Yeah , I noticed . She must be really loaded . +No way . Her old man is rich . He buys her anything she wants . +Lucky her . Anyway , I think that is just as beautiful . +I think you've lost it . +Well , that's my opinion . +I admit that she is much prettier than Kate . +Oh , there is no comparison . Now we are talking but ugly . +At least we agree on that . Let's go and get a drink . +Do you like swimming ? +Yes . Swimming is one of my most favorite sports , indoors or out-doors . +Me too . Swimming is a very good exercise for health . It combines water , bath , sunbath , and air bath together . It promotes the growth and haleness of muscles , bone , viscera and nerve systems . +I have never thought that swimming can bring us so many benefits . I only know that swimming in great waves and deep running water can train people's spirits , and enable people to be fearless of the hardships , dangers and difficulties and become brave and staunch . +Have you ever swum in a river or a lake ? +Yes , but not always . However , I won't let it go if I have a chance . +You should have seen the T . V . show that was on last night , the topic it covered was really interesting , animal rights . +Do you really believe in that ? If they are going to focus on something , they should do it on civil rights . +Yes , but we can ’ t deny that animals are vulnerable , defenseless , and are completely at the mercy of human beings . +I understand your point , but we continue to have transgressions against human rights . If so much attention weren ’ t devoted to the topic of animals , we would then concentrate more on saving a human being instead of protecting a koala . +You can ’ t compare apples and oranges . I believe that both topics are important and that we can ’ t ignore them , the mistreatment of animals can cause a great environmental imbalance . I believe that governments should prohibit activities like poaching . +Well , you are right on that point . This is the reason that I don ’ t buy leather and I try to buy synthetic products . +At least you ’ re doing your part . My contribution is to have a pet in the house that I treat like a member of the family . +As long as you don ’ t treat it better than your wife , it ’ s fine . +So it looks like we start selling in the U . S . next year . +Did Mr . Lin put you in charge of marketing ? +He's still not sure whether he wants to put me in charge , or whether he wants to hire an American.But even if he hires an American , I'll probably be transferred to our American office . +Where will it be ? +We aren't sure yet . Maybe L . A . I think L . A . would be the best idea . +Is it because of trade negotiations that we can start selling in the U . S . ? +Yes , the recent agreements between the two governments have changed everything.Now we have the right to sell in America at a much lower tariff.It ' s going to be good . We can compete more directly with them . +Great . +Our computers have a high level of quality now.We can demonstrate it . And our prices will be good.So I think it will really be worthwhile . +You seem excited about it . +Well , you know I studied marketing in America.So maybe the thought of going back there to promote our brand is kind of exciting to me . I'd love to be part of the team . +Do you honestly think we can compete though ? All the computer giants are there . +Yes , I do . I think we can compete . I think we can make a name for ourselves.It will be hard at first . But if we develop a good advertising campaign , I think we can break into the market . +The company will have to choose a good advertising firm.And then there's the problem of quality.How do we convince American buyers that our quality is good ? +It takes some time.Because even if the quality is high , people won't accept a high tech product unless they recognize the name.Name recognition is crucial . +Well , I hope it all works out , John . I think if you're part of the team , things will go well.But you know we'd all miss you here . So I won't say I'm happy to think that you're leaving . +That's very nice of you to say.But if we set up an office there in the States , maybe you could try to become part of it . +Me ? No way . I'm dedicated to the company , but I'm not going to leave Taiwan . I'm happy here . +How are the children doing at sport ? +I ’ m very pleased with their performances . Timmy can cover the 100 meters in 12 seconds . That ’ s very fast for a kid his age . +He ’ s not very good at the long jump though , is he ? +He ’ s not bad . He can jump a distance of over four meters . I think he just prefers running to jumping . Jimmy ’ s very good at the high jump . He can jump over two meters . Again , that ’ s fine for someone hi +Two meters ? That means that the high jump bar is above his head ! Are any of them good at long-distance running ? +The longest race we run is the 1500 meters . A few of the boys and one girls can do it in less than five minutes . +How are they at swimming ? +They ’ re ok . I ask them to swim 500 meters each day . That ’ s 20 lengths of the swimming pool . They ’ re not very fast , but that ’ s ok . I just want them to build their strength up and keep in shape . +Kate is very good at diving from a height of 10 meters . +I ’ d be afraid to jump from that height ! +I think that these kinds haven ’ t learnt to be afraid yet . She started diving from a lower height , but she soon wanted to go higher . +It seems that they really enjoy to go faster , higher and further . +How many people are there in your family ? +Five . Besides my parents and me , there are my brother and sister . +That is a big family . How old is your sister ? +15 . +What about your brother ? +He ’ s not quite 25 . +Do you miss your family ? +Yes . +Do you often go home ? +No . But I write to them often . +How often do you write to them ? +Once a month . +Wow , American football is more exciting than I thought . +You ’ re in America now , my British friend . We just call it football . +Oh , right . So , I can ’ t quite follow what ’ s going on ... who ’ s winning ? +The Giants are up by three points because of the field goal they kicked , but the Redskins have the ball and there pretty close to the end zone . +Wow ! What a hit ! +Yeah , he tackled him so hard his helmet came off . +Is he ok ? +It looks like it , he ’ s getting up . +I guess he hit him too hard ; the referee just called a penalty on the home team . +The Giants ? +Yeah . +Well , here we go again . +What happened ? Why did everyone get so quiet ? +The Redskin ’ s quarterback just threw a touchdown pass for seven points . We ’ re losing again . +Who stands out in your mind as a man or woman of sound character ? +If I think of famous people , I think of Abraham Lincoln . +He's the US president , who walked five miles just to give a lady her change , isn't he ? +That's the one . He also was famous for never giving up on his goals . +That's right . He ran for office quite a few times before he was finally elected . +And I also admire him for his courage in fighting for equal rights . +He had great vision , didn't he ? +And humility . I would have liked to meet him personally . +What ’ s your working day like ? +I have a typical 9 to 5 job . Actually , I work a little longer than 9 to 5 most days . +Do you get paid onetime ? +No , I don ’ t . I get a bonus each month , depending on the value of the contracts I sign with clients . +Do you have any breaks ? +We have an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1 . we can take coffee breaks during the day . My boss doesn ’ t mind , as long as we get out work done on time . +My boss gets annoyed if we take coffee breaks . I suppose your job involves a lot paperwork , doesn ’ t it ? +There ’ s some paperwork , but most of the time we put any information onto computers . Then we can send information to each other by email or across the network . Do you work in a cubicle ? +Yes , I do . I don ’ t like it very much . +I work in a cubicle too , but I I don ’ t mind it . +Freeze ! +Don't shoot . I give up . +You know that ? Dan got a divorce . +Really ? I thought he loved his wife very much . +Yeah . But his relation with Sallycome to a sticky end and was found by his wife . +He deserved it . +Hello , is Jack there ? +Speaking . +Jack ! It ’ s Rose here . +Hi , Rose . How ’ s everything ? +Fine , thanks . I ’ m having several friends over for dinner this Saturday . And I was wondering if you have the time to join us . +Sounds good . What time do you want me to come ? +Is six o ’ clock okay ? +Joanne , let ’ s not make this divorce any more acrimonious than it already is , okay ? Let ’ s just get down to business and start dividing this stuff up fairly , so we can go our separate ways , alright ? +Fine with me . I just want to get this over with . It ’ s important we make a clean break . I should have signed a pre-nup . +What was that ? +Nothing ! Anyway , you ’ re right , there ’ s no reason this has to be nasty . My lawyer tells me you ’ Ve accepted our alimony proposal and the division of property , as well as the custody agreement-I keep the cat and you get the dog . So that ’ s done ... finally . +Let ’ s not go there , Joanne ! Ok , so let ’ s start with the record collection , I ’ ll take the albums I contributed and you can have your cheesy disco albums back . +Fine , but I ’ m keeping the antique gramophone as my grandfather gave it to me . +I believe that was a wedding present to both of us , Joanne . And you hardly ever use it ! +He ’ s my grandfather , and he never really liked you anyway ! +Whatever ! Alright , I ’ ll concede the silly gramophone , if you ’ ll agree that I get the silver tea set . +How typical , when are you ever going to use a silver tea set ? Fine ! I don ’ t want to drag this out any longer than necessary . What ’ s next ? What about these old photographs ? +Which ones ? Let me have a look . Wow , look at that ! That brings back memories ... That ? +Our trip to Italy ! I remember that day . We were going to visit the Trev fountain , and we got caught in the rain ... +... and you looked so adorable with your hair all wet . I had to take a picture of you standing there in that little alley , smiling and laughing in the rain ... +Oh , we really did have fun back then , didn ’ t we ? +Oh , Joanne , are we making a big mistake ? I know our relationship has been on the rocks for sometime but are you sure we can ’ t reconcile and try again ? I still love you . +Oh Jeff ! I love you too ! I ’ m so glad we didn ’ t have to decide who keeps the motorcycle . +The motorcycle ? But that ’ s mine ! +What's the time now ? +Sorry , I don't know , there's something wrong with my watch . +You've simply forgotten to wind it up , have you ? When do you usually wind it up ? +In the coming , before going to work . +You got up so late today . You have , I think . Turn on the TV and set your watch by it . +OK . I'll turn it on . +All right . It's just four o'clock . +Well , I'm setting my watch at four . Thank you . +You are welcome . +Going to the gym tonight , Mary ? +Yes , Sally . I want to do some sit-ups and perhaps get in a game of singsong . +That sounds like fun.Would you mind some company ? +I'd love it.Working out is more fun with a friend . +I'll get my things and meet you there . +Good.If you happen to see Jim and Bob on the way see if they would like a game of singsong . +Whose part do you think is best played ? +That of the old man . +You're absolutely right ! That's the very figure I like best . +Some of the scenes moved me into tears . +We're having a tailgate party I before the game . Would you like to join us ? +Okay . But what is a tailgate party ? +Someone brings a truck to the game and we have a barbecue right there in the parking lot out of the back of the truck ! +How fun ! Can I bring something ? +Don't worry about it ! Just come at five . +I make a mean potato salad ! +Well , if you insist , you are welcome to bring a potato salad ! +Then I'll see you in the parking lot at five ! Thank you ! +What may I do for you ? +I need to get a passport . +You will need to apply for one . +When will I be able to do that ? +You can do it right now , if you ’ d like . +That ’ s fine . +Please fill out this application . +Then what do I do ? +I just need to take your picture . +How long will it take for my passport to be ready ? +You will get it in a few weeks . +That ’ s perfect . +I ’ Ve got this really neat idea , you can hire a car and drive straight there . +Are you nuts ? What would my friends think if they see me in a hired car ? +But that ’ s the quickest way to make your plans work . +Oh this is hard ! Well , I ’ ll see what I can do . +Would you please put that cigarette out ? I get sick on it . +You do ? OK , fine with me . +Thank you SO much . +But I also want ya to do me a favor . +What ? +You gotta have some better deodorant . +I ’ m sorry ? ! +I really hate to say this , but don't go away mad , just go away . +I knew this would happen some day . +Then , why didn't you try to prevent it in the beginning ? +Well . It's not all my fault , Anna . You are responsible , too . +I don't want to argue anymore . Please get out of my life ! +I think we can still talk . +No way ! Please don't follow me around . +Talk it easy , Anna . You really don't hate me . do you ? +Yes , I do . Leave me alone ! +It's a fine day today , isn't it ? +Yes , it is.It ' s wonderful after the downpour . +How nice seeing the sun back again ! The air is so fresh . +I hope it stays nice like this for a long period of time . +Well , the weather is so unpredictable this time of year . +You're right.We don't know what is going to be like tomorrow . +Look ! It looks as if it is going to rain . +The weatherman predicts a fine day today . +The weather is often quite different from the weather forecast . +When can we expect you and your daughter for dinner ? Next Saturday ? +Next Saturday ? I ’ m sorry . I ’ Ve promised to go to a Chinese Opera with my daughter . +How about Sunday then ? +Yes , Sunday sounds fine . What time ? +Does 6 thirty suit you ? +It suits us fine . We ’ ll see you then . +Thanks , goodbye . +Hey , look ! They ’ re playing reruns of the 1996 Olympics . +Isn ’ t that Michael Johnson ? I think he set a world record in this race . +He completed the first 200 / 400 double in Olympic history ! +Are you sure ? What about Carl Lewis ? He won four golds , didn ’ t he ? +Carl won the gold in the 100 , 200 , long jump , and 4x100 relay in 1984 . +I like the way Carl runs . He looks more graceful . +Will you have time this Saturday evening to go to the cinema with me ? +Saturday ? Oh , I have a previous engagement . +What a pity ! Then how about Sunday ? +I've already got plans , too . +Then when do you think we could go out together ? +How about Friday ? Only in that day can I arrange it . +OK . Any time on Friday will be OK with me . +That's settled then . I'll contact you later . +Come on , fellows.Let ' s enjoy my wife's cooking ! +Em , it's delicious ! +Thank you ! My wife likes cooking very much . +You're lucky . +Guess what ! +What ? +I am going to the mountains with my family this weekend . +That sounds like fun . +Does Mr . Schmidt know he's going to become a father ? +No , and I have no way of getting ahold of him ! There's no phone where he's at ! +Well , he has a surprise waiting for him when he gets back , doesn't he ! +My older sister Judy will be here soon to help . She already has a boy and a girl of her own ... +I just saw a red van pulling into the driveway . Is that her ? +B , what's in your hand ? +Sunday papers . I usually read them after coming back home from our company . +Why do you read them ? +As you know , I am a sports fan . And these papers are famous for their sports section . So I will feel relaxed after grasping some information I am interested in . +I got your meaning . Reading is your own solution to solve pressure from busy tasks . +Correct ! What about you , Fred ? +I often go to the bar near our dorm when I am overtired . I am crazy for drinking wines with special taste . +Don't overdo it . +Shall we have a drink someday ? +I get drunk easily . +What a lovely day , isn't it ? +Yes , it's nice and bright . +I hope it stays like this . +I hope so too . +Is the weather usually like this here ? +It's usually a bit hotter than today . +What's the weather like in winter ? +It's pretty cold and it often snows . +I wonder what it ’ s going to be like tomorrow . +Let's hear the weather report later . What's the weather like in your hometown ? +Neither too cold , nor too hot . +That's quite a lovely weather . +Yes , especially in spring . +Have you ever seen a hurricane ? +Once , when I was a child . +Do they often happen in your country ? +Now and then . +Oh , it's time for the weather reporter . Let's turn on the TV . +Are you travelling in America ? +No , I am on business . I will spend half a month for the business . +What do you do ? +I am currently working in a foreign company as a salesman . +I know all the tricks of the trade . It is quite tiring and difficult to be promoted . +Maybe . But it provides much wider space for me to improve the skills and increase the experience . What about you ? +I am a reporter at a TV station . +Do you like your job ? +Yes , I have good working conditions and I would require a salary at least 15 , 000 $ a year . +Which kind of news do you catch ? +I report the social news which means I always interview the citizens of various professions and trades . +Are you feel tired ? +Sometimes . News happened out of expectation . Sometimes I have to get up in the early morning while I can't sleep for editing and interviewing . +You have to experience this if you want to be an extraordinary reporter . +That's right . I am still wet behind the ears . +What a charming room ! It faces south , and there's such a lovely view of the city . +I'm glad you like it.The bell is on the bedside.Just ring if you want anything.The room attendant speaks a little English.So I don't think you'll have any trouble . +No , I shouldn't think so.By the way , is there a socket for my razor ? +I think so.Here it is.It ' s by the basin . +Is it a two-pin socket ? +Yes , it is . +Good , I ' Ve get a two-pin plug . +You're my hero . +Aw , shucks , ma'am . +That's brilliant ! We can name the grades of motor oil by where they come from . +Mr . Mechanic , I'd like a nice Venezuelan blend this morning . +I think the Saudi Arabian will hit the spot today . +But really , maybe this can work . Everyone loves coffee , and everyone needs motor oil . +A match made in heaven . +What ’ s your city like ? +It ’ s quite an interesting place to live . The best thing to do in my city is go shopping . There are several indoor and outdoor markets , department stores and shopping malls . +Is the traffic bad in the city centre ? +Not really . Cars are not permitted in several parts of city centre , especially in the main shopping areas . The public transport system is pretty good . +What about restaurants and entertainment ? +There are restaurants with food from all over the world . We have a small china-town near the city centre . There are many Indian , thai , and Italian restaurants all over the city centre . There are many s +Is there a lot of nightlife in your city ? +There are several good clubs near the city centre . Many people in my city prefer something more cultural , so we several theatres and venues for classical music concerts and operas . +It sounds like a really exciting city to live in . +It is . I hope you ’ ll have time to come for a visit soon . You really should come during the summer , when the weather is better and there ’ s more happening outdoors . +Bob ! Your eyes look bloodshot . Did you not sleep well ? +I had a drop too much last night . I attended a banquet given by a Chinese colleague of mine . And it was startling for me to find that people are forced to drink against their will on a Chinese table . +you have it right . Alcohol is a medium for communicating emotion in China . Drinking with business partners or would-be friends is a way of solidifying friendship , especially in Northern China . +I just felt embarrassed if I refused to drink when people toasted to me . But if I keep gulping down one cup after another , I'm afraid I would feel unfit or sick . +you lose face by refusing to drink , and the host might think you refuse to give him face . The right thing to do seems to be drinking yourself into incoherence until you throw up . This will endear you +a few guys even threw a drunken fit last night , crying hoarsely and bawling whole heaps of nonsense that I never understood . +then he must be opening his heart to the friends . In a word , as long as you demonstrate a readiness to drink more in spite of already suffering extreme discomfort , no one will jeer at you . +I got you . Next time .

It's a really big campus . +Good luck with school . +Thank you very much . +My brother joined the army last year . +Oh , what does he look like ? Is he tall ? +He's tall and strong . +I can tell it from your build . +You seemed to be fed up with Mary . +Yeah . I get sick of her . She always bends my ear about what she thinks . +She is a barking dog . But she means well . +But I don ’ t like anyone who would drive me crazy by telling me what to do . +You are unfair to her . She is a very nice girl . +I have lots of friends . +Really ? How many do you have ? +I don't know , maybe one hundred . +That is a lot of friends . Do you have a best friend ? +Of course . I have lots of best friends . +How many best friends do you have ? +I think about twenty-five . +Hmm . I have only one best friend . +I feel sorry for you . +I have only a few friends . +You must be lonely . I will share my friends with you . +That's very nice of you . +I have talked a lot about your restaurant business and your friends with my friends .

( takes Rose's hand ) Close your eyes . Go on . ( Rose closes her eyes ) Step up . Now hold on to the rail . Keep your eyes closed ; don't peek . +I'm not . +Step up onto the rail . Hold on .

Up she goes , and up she goes ... +My uncle passed away last night . +My condolences . +Man , they take a lot of our paycheck . +Yeah , the government really takes a bit , doesn't it ? +Seriously . The only tax I don't mind them taking is social security . It's only a few dollars every paycheck . +Yeah , I don't mind it either . We ’ ll both end up rich slobs and not need it , but what if we do , you know ? +Yeah . It won't be much , but at least we ’ ll have a monthly check when we get old . +Yeah , my grandmother gets by on social security and the money my grandfather invested when he was alive . +Let's just hope the politicians don't figure out a way to spend it . +Really ? No , they couldn't . None of them would have jobs if they did . +Nick ! How ’ s it going ? +Oh , hey ... +What are you doing in this neighbourhood ? Do you live around here ? +Actually , my office is right around the corner . +It was great to meet you last week at the conference . I really enjoyed our conversation about foreign investment . +Yeah , yeah , it was really interesting . You know , I'm in a bit of a hurry , but here ’ s my card . We should definitely meet up again and continue our discussion . +Sure , you still have my contact details , right ? +You know what , this is really embarrassing , but your name has just slipped my mind . Can you remind me ? +Sure , my name is Ana Ferris . Don ’ t worry about it , it happens to me all the time . I ’ m terrible with names too . +Can I borrow one of your pens , Amy ? +Take your pick , Julie . +Hey , Sandy , what's new ? Interested in a movie tonight ? +I wish I could , but I'm busy . I'm going to work at a soup kitchen tonight . +Soup kitchen ? Is that a new restaurant or something ? +Nah , it's a place where homelesspeople go to eat . +How did you get involved in something like that ? +Well , the minister at my church told us about it , and it seemed interesting . I thought I'd try it once , and if I didn't like it I'd stop . +So what do you do there ? +It's simple . All we do is prepare some food , usually sandwiches and some fruit , and give it out to them at the soup kitchen . +Yeah , it sounds easy . How long does it take ? +Only about two hours , for a couple of days a month . Why don't you give it a try ? +I don't know . I mean , I like helping the community and all that , but I don't know if I have the time ... +Come on , it's easy , and it'll make you feel good . Why don't you come with me tonight ? +Wang , I'd like you to meet my friend . Dou , this is Wang . +Hello Wang . I'm Dou . Pleased to meet you . +Pleased meet you , too , Mr . Dou . +Just call me Miao Dou , Please . +And we got a 50 thousand dollar ticket for construction workers peeing off the roof . +That ’ s great . Is the electrician here today ? +See , I just told you he hit a deer . Man , I knew you weren ’ t listening to me . +You ’ re right . I wasn ’ t . I hear nothing . +Nothing ? +Not a sound on the city streets , just the beat of my own heart , I think that ’ s how it goes , something like that . +You and Patricia got engaged , didn ’ t you ? You can tell me . +Engaged ? +Come on . +Are you crazy ? +What ? I thought you liked Patricia . +I'll come see you tomorrow . +Promise ? +Have you got any plans for the coming holiday ? +Yes , I have a very special one . I will be doing volunteer work in a zoo for two weeks . A friend of mine working there told me the other day that they were in need of some volunteer keepers . I was very interested . So I asked him to get me the application form . Lucky , my application was approved by the manager very soon . +Volunteer in a zoo ? What specific things will you do ? +I will help to prepare food , feed animals and clean up . I ’ m very excited about it now . +It must be a unique experience . I ’ m looking forward to share your story when you come back . +Ok , I will bring you photos as many as possible . +Oh , honey . You came . I'm so glad ! Why are you wearing a bonnet ? +Uh , just for fun . Happy Easter , Mom . We got you these Easter lilies . +They're beautiful . Taylor , you're so pale and skinny ! +Of course I'm pale . It's just now the beginning of spring . I don't have my summer tan yet . +I guess . Are you sure you're taking care of yourself ? +I'm fine , Mom . Remember Holly ? This is her roommate , Yi-jun .. +Is everything ready for Billy ’ s birthday party ? +Yes . I ’ Ve finished making the birthday cake and I ’ Ve put all the things on the table . Did you find the party hats ? +Yes , I did . I ’ Ve put one on the table for each child . I put up the big “ happy birthday ” sign too . +Thanks . Do you think we have enough for the kids to eat and drink ? +I ’ m sure of that . There ’ s enough food here to feed an army ! +That birthday cake looks wonderful , but you haven ’ t put any candles on it yet . +Thanks for reminding me . I ’ Ve prepared some party games for the children too . +I ’ Ve brought a tape with lots of children ’ s songs on it . +Hopefully , that will keep everyone happy . +Are you doing anything tonight ? +No , nothing . Why ? +Do you like western music ? +Yes , I do , very much . +There ’ s a concert tonight . Would you like to go and listen to it ? +Oh , yes . I ’ d love to . +Mum , can I finish my homework later ? +Sorry . You know the rules . +But I want to watch TV now . +That ’ s out of the question . +Please . +Not a chance . +Not even for an hour ? +Sorry , it ’ s impossible . +Table-tennis is our national game . +Yes , I like ping-pong very much , but I can't play well . +I can't , either . I like watching . +Listen to this . Mary got married . +Is she really ? I can ’ t believe it ! +Yes . Yesterday . +Good gracious . That ’ s incredible ! +She married Jerrod . +You ’ re kidding . +She ’ s going to live in Paris . +Really ? I ’ m surprised . +It was great meeting you . +Me too . +Maybe we can meet again sometime ? +Of course , but I'll have to go now . +What's your favorite hobby ? +I'd like reading books best . +What kinds of books do you like to read ? +Literature and economy . +By the way , would you like to see movies ? +That's OK . +What do you do in your spare time ? +I like to play golf , play badminton or crack jokes . +I just like to sleep like a lazy cat . +That's a bad habit . +Are you sure you heard right ? +Yes , he is running for class president . +I don't believe you . +Take my word for it . +There is a new restaurant opening up in town next month . +What kind of food will they be serving ? +My favorite , Mexican . And I've heard that the head chef is from San Paulo . +It sounds like this is going to be authentic Mexican food . +I can hardly wait ! +Do you know the day they plan to open ? +I'll double check the announcement . +Maybe we can make reservations ahead of time ? +I am thinking about inviting you to a dinner . When would you have time ? And what kind of food do you fancy ? +That would be great . I am really in the mood for a spicy hotpot . Any special reason for the invitation ? +To thank you for helping me at work last week . If you would not have been so kind , I would not have been able to pick my parents from the airport . You really did me a big favor . Thank you so much . +It was my pleasure . How about this evening ? I feel very hungry now . +Fine , I know a good hotpot place in the downtown area , food there is pretty spicy too . Shall we try that one ? +Ok with me . You are the boss . I will meet you downstairs after work . +Charlotte , have you had your supper ? +No , I don ’ t want to eat anything . +Why ? Don't you feel well ? +I ’ m down in spirits . +What's up ? +My manager jumped on me for my mistake today . +You must not feel depressed about such a trivial thing . +I think I'm too clumsy . I can do nothing well . +You'd better shape up if you want to get the job done . +But I doubt myself . +Cheer up ! Don't let me down . We all make mistakes , and that is life . +I'm afraid I can't go to the pictures with you tomorrow . +Busy with your work again ? +Not really . I'm expected to attend a meeting . +I'm not at all convinced . Tomorrow is Saturday ! +Mum , I have something for you today . +What for ? +Don't you remember ? Today is March 8th . It's Women's Day . +Oh . I've really forgotten it . +Now , close your eyes . ( Mum closes her eyes and Steven puts the present in her hand . ) +A silk scarf . I love it . Thank you very much . My lovely son . +Happy Women's Day . I love you forever , Mum . +What do you think of your teacher ? +He's very strict with us . +And I hear he gives very good lectures . +Indeed.He ' s strict with himself , too.We can see every lecture of his is well-prepared . +I'm so glad to meet you . +How is everything going on ? +Fine . +You look prettier than before . +Really ? Thank you . +You must be annoyed about your boyfriend ’ s leaving you , huh ? +Don ’ t ever mention him . I ’ m getting over it . +It ’ s a sad thing . I ’ m ever so sorry ... +Are you done ? +Hello , Rebecca , fancy meeting you here ! +Hi , Paul . I haven't seen you for a long time . +How have you been ? +Fine , thank you , and you ? +Pretty good . What brings you here ? +I came to see my uncle . He lives in the next block . +What courses are you going to take next year ? +Well , I am certainly going to take chemistry and physics , but I haven't decided on the other subjects yet . I'd like to take English . +Why are you going to take english with chemistry and physics ? +Because I want to study english literature . but I think chemistry is better for getting a job . +Of course it depends on what you are going to do when you leave college . Have you beside what you are going to do when you graduated ? +I am going to be a , well , I hope to be a research chemist . +Hi , chary , are you busy this evening ? +sorry , I'm afraid that I've got plans tonight . +what are you doing ? +I'm going to my parents ' house for my father's birthday . +how old is he today ? +it's his 50th birthday . +well , wish him a happy birthday for me . +sure thing . What are your plans for the evening ? +I was just thinking of going to a movie tonight . +well , if you can wait until tomorrow night , I'll go with you then . +sorry , I've got people coming over tomorrow night . +sounds like this weekend just isn't going to work out for us . +sounds that way . Maybe some other time then ? +sure.Hey , I'm sorry , but I've got to get going . +yeah , me , too . It's about time I made a move . +say hello to your friends for me . +likewise . See you later . +Bye ! +Good afternoon ! +Hi , how are you doing ? +Fine , thanks . I am Wang Lin . +Glad to meet you , Wang Lin . I am Mary . +Is this your first time in Beijing ? +Yes . My company has an office here , and I have just been transferred . +Here is my phone number . If you need anyone to show you around , call me . +Great . I would like that . +Hey Michelle , jump in quick . It's pouring out there ! +Oh , hi Melissa . Are you going to the conference too ? I was planning to pick up Mr . Campbell . +Yes , he told me . We need to pick him up at his hotel and then go to the conference . +Oh I see , okay . So I heard you got married . Congratulations ! +Ah thank you ! I'm very excited . We were going to get married next year , but then we decided to get married on holiday instead . It was wonderful . +That sounds so romantic ! Jack and I were hoping to get married in Europe next year , but we had to postpone our plans . We just don't have the money ! +I know what you mean . I think Shanghai is getting more and more expensive , don't you ? +I sure do . In my opinion , it's actually becoming more expensive than back home . +Definitely . Oh , there's Mr . Campbell . Driver , can you stop here please ? +What's that , a new video game ? +Nope ! It's the latest generation of PAD ! You won't believe what it can do . +For instance ? +It has a built-in camera unit that takes digital color stills . It also plays MP3 files , which I can save on media cards and then transfer to the hard drive of my computer . +Wow ! Anything else ? +This one comes with its own folding keyboard . It has a pre-installed handwriting recognition program . I can use the stylus to write on the screen . +What if I want to use CD-ROMs or floppies ? +Just plug in a peripheral CD or floppy drive and you're ready to go ! +Hey , what's up ? +Oh , nothing . +What were you writing ? +( Laugh ) All right . You caught me in the act . I finally worked up the nerve to ask Diana out . I was just writing a note to put on her desk . +You mean you're going to ask her out in a note ? You big chicken ! +I admit it . I'm a wuss . I just can't do it in person . +But , you work with her everyday . +That's different . When I'm working , I'm in a different frame of mind . But , when I even think about asking her out , I get tongue-tied . At least in a note , I can get the words out without turning beet red . +You've dated a lot . What's so different about Diana ? +Well , for one thing , she's gorgeous . She's so upbeat and sweet . Who doesn't like her ? Oh , I don't know . All I do know is that I think we have great chemistry together . But , what if I'm wrong . Maybe she's just been nice to me out of courtesy and doesn't think of me that way . Oh ... forget it . This was a bad idea . +Well , I guess you don't want this note , then . +What note ? +I was looking for you to deliver this note from Diana . She wants to know if you want to go to the office party with her tomorrow night . +You're kidding ! I can't believe you've been standing this entire time and didn't say anything . +Sorry . What can I say ? Now , do you want the note or what ? +Yeah , I want the note . +Have a great time tomorrow night . +Thanks . I plan on it . +So , what happened ? +He never came . +He stood you up . +I wouldn ’ t exactly characterize it in that way . I think something happened . Something terrible and unexpected that made it impossible for him to ... what if he showed up , took one look at me and left ? +Not possible . +Maybe , there was a subway accident . +Absolutely . +A train got trapped underground with him inside . +And no phone . +And you know , how those express trains create suction . +Mary , how was your date with john ? +It's OK . It seems we have a lot in common . +Oh , really ? That is great news . What does he look like ? +He is tall and slim , fair-haired . +Sounds like he is pretty cute . What do you think of him ? +He is a nice guy and very considerate . I am impressed with how smart he is and he has a great sense of humor . +Oh , it's love at first sight . When will you see each other again ? +He didn't say , but he said he would call me . +Maybe he is busy with his work . Just wait and try not to think about it too much ! +Oh , David . Stop it ! I am a bit nervous ! What should I do if he doesn't call me ? +Come on , Mary , you're a total catch . I bet he will call you . Don't worry . +Thank you , David . You're always so encouraging . +That's what friends are for . +I feel terrible , but I've just broken your ashtray . +It's nothing to get upset about . +I don't know what to say . I'd like to replace it . +No . It's out of the question . +I'm so angry at Bob for buying a new bike . +What's the big deal ? +The hotel is full tonight . we will need to find a new place to stay . +Maybe it's just a blessing in disguise . I've been wanting to try a new place anyway . +Do you know much about computers ? +Not a great deal . +I've just been reading an article about them.they ' ll be used for all sorts of things now . +For accounting system and things like that , you mean ? +Yes , but they are used for other things , too.Do you remember when we went to buy a ticket for the flight to Paris . +Yes ? +The man asked where we want to go , then he type out the information on the form and waited for a reply . A few moment later , he gave us two tickets . +Of course , his machine must have been connected to a computer . +That's right . +How happy you are ! Next Monday is your wedding day . Congratulations ! +Thank you ! +Fred is really a good guy . And he loves you so much . +Yeah . I'm lucky to be his wife . +He's after your own heart , it is important . +So he will make a perfect husband . Make sure you will be here next Monday . +I promise ! +Many happy returns of the day , darling ? +Thank you very much . +And here is your birthday present . +A gold watch ! +Do you like it ? +I love it ! Darling , you ’ re kind . +I didn't expect to see you at this hour . You must have goofed off again . +Goofed off ? Maybe , but I'm not a clock-watcher . I finished doing what I should do and then knock off an hour earlier . +You'll be sorry if the boss finds it out . He may probably give you the bag . +I'm sure of what I'm doing . +Hi Jane , you look great . +You too . Have you lost some weight ? +Yes , I took off 4 kilos . I am glad you notice it . +Not some crazy diet fat I hope . +No no , I just changed my eating habits . I eat a balance meal . and I eat less than before . +Good for you , keep it up . +On balance , dress designing appeals to me most . +Yes , it's to my liking , too . +Say , how would you like to be a dress designer ? +It's my dream . +Hi , Sue . What's up ? +Hey , Andrew . How's everything with work ? +Ok , I guess . My boss has been on my back recently . +Really ? What's he been doing ? +You know , just giving me lots to do . I'm really busy right now . +Are you ? What are you busy with ? +Oh , lots of things . Mostly training new people . +OK , that ’ s fine . Bye . +What happened ? +That ’ s it , my lease is up . I have to move . +What ? Why ? Can ’ t you renew it ? +The owner apparently is selling this place to make way for the construction of a parking lot +Well , I can help you pack . We should start looking for a new place for you ASAP . +I think I might move in with my parents for a couple of months until I can find something . You know how hard it is to find a decent place around here . I ’ m gonna have to put most of my stuff in storage for a while . +Well , let me know if there ’ s anything I can do to help out . +Actually , would you mind looking after my pet tarantula and snake for a couple of weeks ? +Hehe .. sure +Which social problem do you think the government needs to concentrate on most ? +I think housing is a big problem . There are thousands of homeless people on the streets . +How would you solve the problem ? +I have a good idea to solve it . The government could provide some money for homeless people to build their own homes . +It would probably be very expensive . +I think the government can afford it . Besides , there are many advantages . Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had an address . They would learn some useful skill for finding jobs in the construction industry or home improvement . +It ’ s not a bad idea . I think education is the biggest problem at the moment . Schools don ’ t seem to have enough money to educate kids properly . +If we are to invest more money to education , we will need to raise taxes . That wouldn ’ t be popular with voters . +Most voters what everything bout ways . They want the government to pay for lots of things , but without increasing taxes . +The government should show that it is using money efficiently . Sometimes you hear about how the government has wasted money on a project . +Yes . The government has limited funds and must show that it is using the money responsibly . +The sun is shining . +But there're some mare's tails . +That's the sign of wind . +Oh , really , I thought it was a sign of rain . +Hello , Joanna . You are looking very charming in the new dress . +Thanks . Does it suit me ? +Yes , it suits you very well . It certainly is unique . I don ’ t think I ’ Ve seen anything like it before . +I know . That ’ s why I bought it . I hate wearing the same styles like everybody else is wearing . +And the necklace , it matches your dress marvelously . +It ’ s very nice of you to say so . I should say you are glamorous yourself , as a matter of fact . +Thank you for saying so . +Welcome back ! How was your vacation ? +It was fantastic , but I'm glad to be back ! Being a tourist is really tiring ! +Where did you end up going ? +Because it's off-season , we got a really good package deal to Paris , so we went there . +I've always wanted to go to Paris . The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world ! Did you go to the top ? +That was the first thing we did . I have a few pictures . Do you want to see them ? +Sure . What's this one a picture of ? +Oh , that's a picture of me on our fourth day of travelling . I'm standing next to a famous foundation in the centre of the city . +You don't look very happy in that picture . +No , by that time , I was sick of sightseeing . I had had enough of art galleries , cathedrals , fountains , statues , and palaces ! +So what did you do ? +We spent that afternoon walking around a flea market . We had a few coffees , watched a movie , and went for a swim in the pool at the hotel . +My travel agent always reminds me to plan a day of relaxing for every 3 days of sightseeing . Did you go to the Louvre ? +Of course ! You can't go to Paris without going to their famous art gallery ! I was surprised by how small the Mona Lisa was though . +That's what everyone says ! I can't wait to see it for myself some day . +Your ring is very beautiful . +Thank you . It has been handed down in my family for three generations . +Oh , it is precious . +It surely is . +Our major is from a bigger city . +He ’ s doing fine . A new broom sweeps clean . +He brings with him some talented people from his former city . +I think we ’ ll benefit a lot . +Hey , where's Cindy ? +She told me that she's got tennis practice today . +You're Mary , right ? +How did you know ? +Cindy told me about you in our gym class . +I see . Do you live in this neighborhood , too ? +My house is next door to yours . +Oh , Cindy did mention you before . You're Alexander Newman . +Just call me Alex . Alex and Alexander are the same thing . +What's the score ? +The Ukraine team took the lead by 3 to 1 at the end of the first half . +The Russian team needs to tie the Ukraine to get the pass for the final . +It doesn't seem to be so easy . +I hear that there is a festival called Duanwu in China . +Yes . It is also called Dragon Boat Festival . +Why are you celebrating this festival ? +We celebrate it to commemorate a great patriotic poet of China — Qu Yuan . +What do you do on that day ? +We'll have rice dumplings . What's more , there are also dragon boat matches in some places of southern China . +I see . +Hey , there's Leo . I wonder why he's walking arm in arm with that young woman . +It's as plain as the nose on your face . They're dating each other . +You're pulling my leg ! She must be thirty years younger than Leo . Talk about robbing the cradle ! +Well , you can bet this relationship's going to be a flash in the pan . +It must have been love at first sight because I know he didn't have a girlfriend last week . +I think you are absolutely right . Actually , my father proposed to my mother after knowing her only two weeks . They got married a month later . +How many credits are you taking this semester ? +I have to have at least eighteen to keep my scholarships and grant . But so far , I only have fifteen . +What's the matter , are the classes you want full ? +Yes . And now I'm down to either taking a class I'm not going to need or considering a double major . +If you were to take on a double major , what would be your first choice ? +I think with International Business a language would be appropriate . +Have you even thought that far ahead ? I mean what country would you like to do business with ? +As a matter of fact , I would like to work in South America . So some Latin language like Spanish or Portuguese would work . +What part did you get in the play this time ? +I got a character part — some old lady who shows up in a few scenes . +I wish I had a character part . Those are my favorite . +Are you kidding ? You got the leading role . +I know , but I've done that so Ay times . It's getting old . The leading guy is always the same macho A . +I would trade you if I could but I don't think I'd be a very convincing macho A . +Next time . You are going to love your part . I've seen the script . +I do a good old lady . I wouldn't mind being the damsel in distress once in a while . +Are you free on Friday evening because we were wondering if you would like to come round for dinner ? +Oh , thank you very much . I ’ d like to come , but I ’ m afraid I ’ m busy that evening . +That ’ s a pity ! Then when would it be a good time for you ? +Well , I ’ m not too sure , actually . I ’ Ve got a lot going on the next couple of weeks . Why don ’ t I call you later ? +Okay , that ’ s fine . +Which season do you like best ? +I like spring best . It is neither too cold nor too hot . Freezing days make me lazy and stuffy days make me lazier . How about you ? +I prefer summer , especially the summer evenings . When the sun comes down , it is so nice to take a walk and breathe . After a rain shower , the smell of the air is refreshing . It is also a best reason for ice-cream . +How do you get through the stuffy daytime ? +Well , I have to hide in the air-conditioned rooms . Anyway , it is all worth , just think about the cool evening time . +Great party , isn't it ? +Yeah , really , jane and ted always have great parties . +This is my first , I only met jane last week . she and I teach at the same school . +Oh , so you're a teacher . +Yeah , history , what about you ? +I'm in the car business . +Salesman ? +Yes , that's right . +Oh , I see , by the way , my name's Mary . +Nice to meet you , I'm jim taylor . +Remember that old man who used to beg for money on the street across from our house ? +Yeah . Whatever became of him ? +He got a job and now he owns a small grocery in town . +That's great . We should visit him some time . +Sorry . I've got to run . +OK . See you . +Hello , this is the International Student Office . My name is Leah . How may I help you ? +I'd like to speak to the Ms . Collins , please . +Ok .

That's zero , double seven , eight , seven , three , six , seven , double six , double eight . +No , there's no double six at the end of the number . It's just zero , double seven , eight , seven , three , six , seven , six , double eight . +I got it . When should I have her call you back ? +Anytime before 6 pm tonight . +Ok , Nathaniel . I'll have Ms . Collins call you back sometime tonight before 6 pm . +Thank you ! +Bye ! +bye ! +Dan , Dan , dude . You have to come over to my house right now ! +Is everything OK ? +Just get over here ! +Come in ! Quickly ! +So , since when is your house a bank ? +What do you mean ? +I mean , what ’ s up with the locks and iron bars on your windows . +Security , Dan , security ! You can never be too safe you know ! A lot of sickos out there . Just the other day they caught that peeping tom red handed ! Had a high power telescope and binoculars by his window . +What ’ s the matter with you ? Why are you acting all paranoid ? +Paranoid ? I ’ m not paranoid ! I ’ m cautious ! You see Dan , we have to be on guard at all time ! People just invade your privacy as if they knew you ! Telemarketers , solicitors , even your bank ! They have way too much information ! I like to keep everything on a need to know basis . +OK , well , what did you want to see me about ? +You are being watched ! Be careful Dan ! Be careful ! +You didn't ring me last night.You said you would . +I'm sorry to have made you disappointed . +That's all right . But why were you so rude to me at lunch . +Was I ? Sorry , I didn'y mean to be . I do apologize . +And why are you yarning now ? Are you bored ? +Forgive me darling . I'm very tired . +Hey ! What's up ? +Hi , John ! I haven't seen you for ages . +Yeah , I've been out of town . +So how have you been ? +Great ! Work is really busy now , but it's fun . +Hey , let's go to the night market after work tonight . +That's a good idea . I haven't been in a while and I need to get a new backpack . The old one is hanging on by a thread ! +That reminds me I should buy some new socks to go hiking this weekend . +Reciting texts really bores me to death . +Do you have to remember every text ? +Yes , the teacher says recitation is real good . +Good Lord ! Look at that man . +Yes ? +He's swimming in the cold sea . He must be very strong . +Sure he is . Winter swimming does good to health , I hear . +How about a movie tonight ? +It doesn't matter to me . +Does 7 o'clock suit you ? +Either way . I don't care . +How about a snack after work ? +I couldn't careless . +Would you rather stay home ? +Whatever you say . +Are you really interested in doing something ? +I don't mind if you want to . +Have you bought another handset +No , it is the original one . +This is silver gray , while I remember your handset was black . +I have changed a case for it . +Can a handset case be changed ? +Of course . That's why I bought this type . I can change its case frequently , so it is novel to use it . +How many cases are accessible ? +There are two more , one is orange and the other is pink . I have bought them all . +It's really going to be fresh all the time . +Would you mind going to dinner with me tonight ? +I'd love to go out with you , but I'm sorry I'm busy tonight , but I'd like a rain check . +OK . +I want to change my job . +Why ? +Well , I want to earn more . +I see . +Not only that . The job I ’ m doing now is the most boring job you can imagine . +It's very cold tonight ! +Can I get you another blanket ? +0h , that would be nice of you . +I'll turn the heat up . +Yes , please do that . +Do bullfights interest you much ? +Absolutely ! Everything that ’ s thrilling turns me on . +So I ’ Ve got two tickets to the latest show but I need a little favor from you . +What is it ? +There is a wonderful opera today . I'd like to see it . +I do not like the play with complicated plot . What's on today ? +' The sound of music ' . This music is known by everybody and is suitable for all ages . It is about a happy family without sex , violence or bad language . +I know that . I have seen the film as the same title . Andrews gives a performance to be remembered for a lifetime from Maria to a cheerful governess . +Yes , you are right . I like the song in the movie , edelweiss , do you remember it ? +Of course , it is a nice song that can make audience calm and pleasant . +Those young actors play the roles perfectly . +I hope the opera will be more stupendous than the movie . Have you bought the tickets ? +No , I am asking you whether you will go to see it . +Let's go . We'd better buy the tickets earlier and have dinner in restaurant . +Would you like to come out with me tonight ? +Sorry , I can ’ t . +Tomorrow night , then ? +I ’ d like to . But I ’ m afraid I can ’ t . +I ’ m wondering if you like to go to the theatre then . +That ’ s sounds great . +Ok . How about give me a ring , then ? +No . I ’ d better not . +Why not ? +Because I don ’ t think my husband would like it . Thank you for inviting me anyway . +You look like a basket case . +I'm not surprised . +What's the problem ? +My brother in-law just dropped in from the states . +Yeah , and ? +I decided to put him up while he's here , big mistake ! +Why ? +He's lazy . I tried being a good host , but if you give him an inch , he'll take a mile . +I guess you think twice next time he comes . +You can say that again . +So how long has he here for ? +Two weeks . If he thinks I'll put up with his attitude that long he's got another thing coming . +Well , I know you do the right thing . +Hi , Mrs . Henderson . +Hi , Steven . Do you have time and chat with me ? +Of course I have plenty of time . What's new ? +The new couple next door divorced . Have you heard about it ? +No . The Hills ? Who filed for divorce first ? +I guess it Is Mrs Hill . She sued for divorce on the grounds of her husband's misconduct with his secretary . +Oh , maybe not . It's just your guess . Do not give currency to idle gossip . +OK . I close my mouth . +What's up , buddy ? You look so upset . +I just broke up with a girl . Why didn't she understand that I loved her ? +I'm sorry to hear that . What's your conflict ? +I don't know . She always said I didn't love her , but I did . +Did you think about talking to her again ? Maybe she is waiting for your call . +I have asked for a talk again , but she refused and said she wanted to be quiet . +Come on , guy . Maybe she isn't your right person . +I like your sweater . It suits you very well . +Thank you for saying that . It's a present from my girlfriend . +She certainly has the taste . +Mr . : There are two things that you'll need to know . +What are they ? +Mr . : The school has three lunch periods , and the kids are divided into three groups to go to lunch . +Wow ! +Mr . : Furthermore , when you are dismissed in the afternoon , you will be divided into two waves . +Two waves ? +Mr . : The school parking lot is not big enough for all the school buses to come in at one time . So only half the buses come in first to pick up the first wave's students . +And the other half come in later to pick up the second wave . +Oh , my God ! I've been cheated ! +What ? What did you buy ? +It's a brick ! I can't believe how stupid I was . Damn it ! +What is it ? Why did you buy a brick ? +There was a guy on the sidewalk.He had three new boxes , Panasonic video camera boxes.He said he had to get rid of them quick . +And ? +So he said he'd sell me one for twenty dollars . A four-hundred-dollar camera for twenty bucks . +And it's a brick ? +Yes . +I can't believe how stupid you are . Why didn't you open the box ? +I wanted to . But he said , no , the box is still in its plastic wrap from the store.If it's opened , other people won't believe it's new . +So he had the boxes wrapped in plastic . +Yes , it was the kind of perfect plastic wrap that comes with new products.Look , it even had a bar-code price sticker on it ! It looked brand new . +But why would a guy be selling new video cameras for twenty dollars ? +He said he had to get rid of them . They were stolen . +Aha ! Now I understand.You were trying to buy stolen goods on the sidewalk.So , what I think is , you deserve to get cheated ! +C'mon , don't blame me ! I thought it was a new camera . We could use it.We were even thinking about buying a camera . I don't understand how he could have such a perfect-looking box . +That's no problem.He just has a friend who works in a shop that can do plastic wrap . That's easy.And probably it's the same shop he got the boxes from.Maybe his friend works in an electronics store . They sell video cameras there . Probably they had a couple video camera boxes lying around.So they get the idea of wrapping bricks to sell to fools like you.Twenty dollars a brick . That's a good profit if they can sell enough bricks . +You're right , Sarah . I was a fool . I can't believe it . How could I fall for such a trick ? +I'm sorry for being late . +You're supposed to stand here quietly until the flag - raising ceremony is over . +About what time can I go to my own class ? +When everything is over . +Now that it is all over . can I go now ? +Not yet . You should stand still for another few minutes . Late-comers must be recorded . +That's too bad ! +Are you looking forward to seeing that big concert next week ? +You bet . I'm really excited . +Hey Joanne . What are you up to ? +I'm just watching some television . +I'm so bored . I don't know what I'm going to do today and it is only ten in the morning . +Me too . Do you think we are boring people ? +I don't think we are boring . It's just that we don't have any hobbies . +That's right . What do you think we should do as a hobby ? +That all depends on what you like to do . For example , I like to doodle on the notepad , so I'm thinking about doing some real drawings . +I like to play the piano for fun . +Yeah . That can be a good hobby . +Hobbies are great . I'm going to make a list of all the things I like to do . +That's a great idea . I'm going to do the same . +Have you had any kind of punishment in your college ? +Yes , but it was many years ago . +What was it for ? +I was a naughty boy and I played hooky . So the school gave me a punishment to clear the classroom for a week . +How do you like my new sports car ? +It's cool . +If I won the Pools , I'd go round the world . +Would you ? I wouldn't . +What would you do ? +Oh , I don't know . I'd buy a big house with a garden for my wife and kids , I suppose . But it's difficult to imagine having a lot of money . +One thing's certain . If I had a lot of money , I wouldn't work any more . +Wouldn't you ? What would you do with all that spare time ? +As I said , I'd go round the world . +What would you do after that ? +Oh , I don't know . It'd take me a long time to go round the world . +It doesn't sound very exciting . +Anyway , we haven't won the Pools , and we're not likely to win them . So there isn't much point in talking about it , is there ? +I'd be happy if I got a rise . +And my wife would be happy if I bought her a mink coat . +Well , I'm not likely to get a rise and you haven't the money for a mink coat , so let's come down to earth and have another drink . +What'll you have ? +I'll have a pint of the best . +I'd have a Scotch if I were you . We deserve it . +All right . Make it a double , will you ? +do you like animals ? I really like dogs . +so do i . I don ’ t like cats . +why ? I think cats are ok . +I can ’ t bear being near cats . They don ’ t seem to like me either . +I like wild animals . I don ’ t like spiders and snakes . I think spiders and snakes are disgusting . +I ’ m fond of snakes . I think they ’ re great . I agree with you about spiders though . I think spiders are horrible . I think it ’ s because they have so many legs . +I think bears are wonderful . Pandas are fantastic . I low the people who kill them for their fur . +I agree . I ’ m carry about mice . I think they ’ re so cute ! +really ? I don ’ t see the attraction . I ’ m afraid of mice . +I hear your sister has had an accident , is it true ? +Yeah , it happened a week ago . +That's a crying shame . It really is ! +Fortunately , she's not seriously injured . +Good evening , I'm so happy you could come . +Thank you for inviting me . +What would you like to drink ? +A glass of white wine would be fine , thank you . +My son is alway complaining that I dump on him . He was very rude and told me to mind my own business . I cannot put up with that . +What does his dad say ? +John is a peacemaker.He simply doesn ’ t bother.He says he should give him a free hand . +Do you think children watch too much Tv ? +I only allow my child to watch up to an hour a day . I don ’ t think that tv is bad for kids . I think that kids should be active and not become couch potatoes . +Perhaps I should impose a limit on how much Tv my kids can watch . They don ’ t do much else in their free time . At least they always do their homework first . +If you decide to put a limit on the amount of tv they can watch , remember to have something else for them to do . If you don ’ t , they ’ ll get bored and misbehave . +They could go out and play with their friends . +Sure . You could talk to other parents in your neighbourhood and plan it so that all the kids are free at the same time . +Perhaps I could ask my husband to teach them foot ball or some thing . He watches too much Tv too . +That ’ s a good idea . Remember that if the parents watch too much Tv , the kids will probably follow suit . +Did you meet the new girl in our sales department . She is taking the place of Maggie during her alternative leave . +Did they finally fill that post , how come I haven't seen her ? She must have not been inducted yet . +I guess not , They haven't officially introduced her to the whole staff yet , she barely started yesterday . +Is she just working temporarily ? What are they going to do when Maggie comes back from leave . +If the new girl is competent , maybe they will promote her when that time comes . +what's up ? +not much . I'm just trying to hook up to the internet . I'm having a few problems though . +what's wrong ? +I've got all the cords plugged in , but it appears that I'm offline . +Are you using dial-up or broadband ? +actually , I've got a wireless connection . +In that case , you need to turn on your airport . +I hook up to the Internet every day . I can't believe I didn't do that . +do you like ever chat online ? +No , but I'd like to . Do you have to pay to do instant messaging ? +Oh , no . You can register for free . Just go to the yahoo website and it will tell you how to do it . +what do you do if people want to talk to you online but you don't want to talk to them ? +well , you can always block them . When I don't feel like talking to certain people online , that's what I do . +what's your email address ? I'll add you to my contacts list . +it's aubreyinchina@yahoo.com . +cool . We can meet up in a chat room sometime or just chat online using messenger.thanks for your help . +don't mention it . +I ran into a glass door yesterday . +What a bone head ! Be careful next time . +You have been here for how long ? Four months now ? +Yeah , about . +Do you know Chinese better now ? +Oh , definitely . I remember , when I first arrived in Guangzhou , my girlfriend was haggling with a sales clerk over the price of a mobile phone . +Oh , yeah . Many Chinese like to bargain . It happens almost everywhere . +I mean , I understand that . But the speed of the conversation got faster and faster , until it seemed to me that they would fight . My perception of the tone was that it was a violent shouting match . The truth was that it was a perfectly normal conversation . +A shouting match ? You ’ re so funny . You must be exaggerating . I don ’ t believe it . +I am not exaggerating at all . I ’ m telling you the truth . That was how I felt at that time . +Yes , perhaps . Chinese usually don ’ t notice that sort of thing . Maybe it ’ s quite natural to us . +Yes , absolutely true . +That guy's manner really turns me off . +Yeah.He never stops asking questions . +Maybe he's abnormal . +Do you like our new history teacher ? +I'm fed up with his endless talking . +You can't say that ! He's a very knowledgeable person . +I can't see it . +Have you seen Harry ? +No . As far as I can remember he was supposed to be on a business trip to Lisbon . +Yes , but he was supposed to be back by now . +Maybe you'll call his home . +You spoken English is pretty good . Please tell me your experience in learning English . +Uh , I don't know what to say . What do you want to know ? +What's your method of learning ? +Let me think a minute . I think I always try to take every chance to practice . +What if there is no chance ? I mean what if you don't have a partner , what will you do ? +Well , I talk to myself . That is , I play one role first , than the other . +That's a good idea . You are really creative . +How's your new car ? +Perfect.Couldn ' t be better ! +You made a good choice , then ? +It's just what I wanted . +No regrets ? +I'm really pleased with it.Thanks . +I'm glad you're so happy . +It's super . +Now that you'recommending such enormous fees , producers , directors , movie-makers must see you in a completely different light . +Yeah . +Then the standard that you set yourself originally must have changed . +Well , if that's the case , I don't mind breaking the image that they might have or the standards that they have . I can only do what I know , and live how I've lived all my life , because I'm a fairly stubborn person . +It seems to me that now you're famous . You've got to go out and be seen at the right places and go to the right parties . +I don't go to parties . The parties I go to are the barbecues I have in my house . Being seen in the right places is something that I don't believe in . I don't believe in going to events just for the sake I of being seen . +Then fans don't see you much in public places . +Yes . I have a very low-key life ; I have a great life . I love what I do and I love how I spend my time , which isn't in a public place . +A lot of people compare you to Julia Roberts . I wondered if there was anyone that you compare yourself to in Hollywood , that you've watched and thought , ' Well , they've got something I could use a little bit or could learn a little bit about . ' +I've never had one person that I'd idolized . The comparisons to Jul-ia Roberts are incredibly flattering . I don't really know who I would compare myself to . I'd like to be a combination of a lot of people . A little bit of everything , really . I haven't quite figured out where my strengths are yet , and I've definitely found my weaknesses . +When do children start school in your country ? +Normally at six . Before that , they spend several years in the kindergarten or pre-school education center . +But thats only in the cities , isnt it ? +Right . In the countryside , things are more complicated . +Can kids in the countryside get equally good benefits and education like those in the cities ? +It depends . In some poor , underdeveloped areas , children's education is a problem . Many kids cannot afford to go to school . +The baby is crying again . +Leave him alone , he ’ ll soon stop . +How can you do so ? Perhaps something is wrong with him . Let ’ s go and see him . +OK . Nothing serious . He just wants us to be with him . +Oh that ’ s a lovely necklace . +Thank you . My husband gave it to me . +Oh I didn ’ t know you were married . +Yes I am . I got married five years ago . +Oh I see . That ’ s nice . Did you meet your husband at work ? +No , we met at university . +Hi ! Is that the new laptop you brought last week ? It looks very nice . +Yes , it is . Thanks . I ’ m just surfing on the internet . +Here ? In this cafe ? How can you do that ? +This cafe offers a wireless internet connection . That means I can get on the net for free while I ’ m here . Of course , I have to buy a cup of coffee ! +That ’ s great . Can you do it anywhere ? +No . you can only do it when the cafe offers a wireless connection . There are only about 10 or 12 places that offer it in this city . +So , what programs do you have on your laptop ? +I ’ Ve got all the usual ones for word processing and then I have a few for creating and editing photographs . +I know you are keen on photography . It ’ s very useful for you to be able to download photos from your digital camera . Then you attach the picture files to emails and send them to anyone , anywhere , at anytime ! +It ’ s wonderful , isn ’ t it ? Would you like to see some photos that I look recently ? +Nice and warm again , isn ’ t it ? +Oh , it ’ s lovely . Think of the nasty weather we had last week . +How are you these days ? +Fine , thank you . And you ? +Fine today , though a bit under the weather last week . +What's happening in your life ? +Can you believe I'm going to America ? +That sounds great . +Yes , I'm really excited . +My wife is really a chatter box . It ’ s so boring . +I have an idea . +What is it ? +You just turn a deaf ear when she talks . +You ’ re a wonderful person , Kathleen . +So are you . +And I ’ m so honored that you would want to be with me because you would never be with anyone who wasn ’ t truly worthy . +I feel exactly the same way as you . +Don ’ t , don ’ t , don ’ t , don ’ t say that . That , that makes it worse . +What ? You don ’ t love me ? Me , either . +You don ’ t love me ? +No . +But we ’ re so right for each other . +I know , I know . Well , is there some , is there someone else ? Oh , that woman on television , Sydney Ann . +My elder aunt feels like vomiting , she is pregnant . +She'd better drink plenty of hot water and lie in bed . +But she feels like having no appetite at all if she stays at home all day . +Don't worry . She will be all right . +Is this your umbrella , miss ? +Oh , yes , it is . Thank you . I was looking for it just now . +You look a bit familiar to me . I wonder if I have seen you somewhere before . +Have you ? +May I ask where you live ? +Just two blocks away , in that tall building . +That ’ s it . I live there , too . I live on the sixth floor . +My family move in just two weeks ago . We live on the fourth floor . +It ’ s a small world ! May I know your name , miss ? +I ’ m Chen Ming . +How do you do , Miss Chen ? I ’ m Song Mei . +I ’ m glad to meet you , Mr . Song . +Are you going to your office now , Miss Chen ? +No , I ’ m going to the airport to meet some friends from Beijing . +It's very thoughtful of you to invite me to your wedding . +How can I forget my old friend ? +My best wishes to you and the bride ! +Thank you very much . +I have a sweet tooth . I can not help but think about having something sweet between meals . +A new candy shop just opened around the corner last week . They have a variety of candies and it is always full of people . +That sounds really attractive . Let's go to that candy shop now . +Are you serious ? It is always crowded with many people . +why not ? I would like to buy some candies . Since there are so many people , I think they must have delicious candy . +Look at the candy bar over there . It is so colorful and tasty . +They have lollypops , chocolate drops , fruit candy , mints , pearbrittles and toffee . They are in different colors and flavors . +I want to get a big bag and buy a little of everything . +Me too . I finally understand why a small shop like this can always befilmed with dozens of people . +To be honest , I care only about whether I can have some delicious candy eat . I couldn't care less about whether the shop is popular or not . +You are a candy terminator . Be careful or you'll get a lot of cavities . +That is true . Speaking of cavities , I am starting to feel something is wrong with my teeth now . Let's get more strawberry chocolate drops before we go home . +You really can't live without candy . +Who do you think will win the championship ? +I really can't say . Both teams this year seem really good . +There's a game on tonight . You want to watch it with me ? +That sounds great ! +Good morning miss . Wang +Good morning Mr . Li +It ’ s a beautiful morning isn ’ t it ? +Oh . It ’ s a nice day indeed +I hope it won ’ t be too hot , I can ’ t stand the heat +Really . For me too . +You are very late , but I was on pins and needles the whole time . +Oh , I ’ m sorry . +Look at these newlyweds . They seem as if they are on top of the world . +Yes , they do . It's great for them to tie the knot and get married . +People who have just got married feel that the world is right before them . +Nothing seems to be happier for them . +What would you say if I told you I was going to quit school ? +I ’ d say , think twice about it . Well , you are not going to quit school , are you ? +I don't know . I failed my exam . +What did you get ? +A B plus . +That's not bad . +But I should have aced it . I mean I finished the paper so quickly , thinking it's a piece of cake . But when I knew my result , I was like what ? That can't be true ! +Listen , John . I understand that you are such an excellent student and I know you must have lots of stress , but you really want to give up ? +No , I don't . I just don't know how to handle this . This is my first time , you know . +I know . Don't worry . Do you know what you should do ? +What ? +You need to blow off some steam . The world is not on your shoulder . +How ? +Forget about school and exams . Come over to my house and have fun . I have some really good DVDs . +Thanks . But I really don't feel like watching movies tonight . I have to get an early start in the morning . +Then go to bed and have a good sleep . +I guess that's what I need . Thanks . You're being a really good friend . +Of course I am . Well , pleasant dreams ! +Thanks , bye . +You are too picky . +No , I'm not.Hey , look at that guy over there . +Which guy ? +The guy in the blue shirt at the table by the window . +I can't see him . Where ? +Right there . +Oh , I see him now . Wait ! That's ... +Yes , it's Mel Gibson . +Oh , wow ! It's really him ! Who is that woman he's with ? +I don't know . Why don't you go ask for his autograph ? +I can't do that . +Why not ? +Do you have a family tradition at Christmas time ? +We have so Ay ! But my favorite happens at Christmas Eve . +What is it ? +Well , all the brothers and sisters get together and fill the Christmas stockings for the litt 1e kids . +That's it ? That's the tradition ? +Well , in fact it's fun for us to just be together that night and do this one thing . +I guess the spirit of it is what really makes any tradition fun . +You should be there some Christmas Eve . +Karen , do you have a minute ? I'd like to ask you about something . +Sure . What is it ? +I think you can give me some advice.You have worked here longer , and I just want to know what you think . +I'm glad to help you . But what is it you want to ask about ? +I am worried about the meeting this morning . +Why ? I think the meeting went well . +Really ? +Yes . But what are you worried about ? +I'm afraid I was too rude . +Rude ? You weren't rude at all , Annie . Why do you think you were rude ? +Well , I maybe talked to Mr . Drummond too directly . I thought I maybe said too much . I don't want him to be angry . +I understand . But really you weren't rude at all.You said what you thought . I think he appreciates that . +Really ? +Yes . +But I am new here , and I'm not sure he is used to that . +You mean because you are a woman ? +Yes . And he is the president of the company . +Listen , Annie . You shouldn't worry about Mr . Drummond.He is a very good man to work for . He is not sexist at all.He appreciates people for their ideas.And he is willing to take suggestions from men or women . +I am very happy to hear that , Karen.It ' s good to know I'm working in such a company . +I agree with you on that , Annie . I've worked for Derek Drummond for nine years now . I feel he appreciates his employees for their work , not their gender . I would never change jobs . +Good . Thank you for telling me this . +Any time . If you have a good idea , don't be afraid to speak up.This is a company that appreciates initiative . +I really admire you , Diana . +why , Jerry ? Your words just came out of the blue . +you are really happy and able to achieve high scores at school . +I work very hard and that's it , you know , practice makes perfect . +isn't there anything else ? +I have no idea . +you must have a high IQ score . +well , Jerry , let me tell you a secret . +go ahead . +my IQ score is slightly above average . +seriously ? But you are such a genius . +maybe I've got a higher EQ . I'm not sure . +well , perhaps you're right . Sometimes EQ matters more than IQ . +you can say that again , Jerry . And I'm sure you're high in both of them . With a little more time cracking the books , you can also get high marks . +oh , thank you . I'm going to the library , are you coming ? +let's go ! +Hey Sarah . Why are you limping ? +Oh . Hi Matt . I went snowboarding yesterday and my whole body aches . +Was it your first time ? +Yeah . And I never want to go again . +I remember the first time I went . My back was sore , I couldn't sit down because it hurt my butt , and my legs would cramp if I walked too fast . +That's exactly how I feel now . +It's only like that the first couple of times . +Ha . There won't be a next time . +You gotta give it a chance . It's fun after awhile . +I'll think about it after I start feeling better . Right now , I don't even want to hear the word snowboarding . +Hi Mark . +Oh , hi Stacy . +How was your summer vacation ? +I worked over the summer at a restaurant . Have to make tuition money , right ? What did you do ? +I took summer school . I withdrew from two of my classes last year so I wanted to make them up . +So are you officially a junior now ? +Yeah . And I have 5 credits to spare . I only needed to take 10 credits over the summer , but I took 15 because the price was the same . +That makes sense . So where is Nicole ? +She dropped out of school completely . +Really ? Why ? +She worked at a startup company as an intern and since the business did well , they asked her if she wanted to work full time . +Wow . She's so lucky . She doesn't have a degree and she already has a job . +It sounds good now , but I'm traditional . I want the degree , so I wouldn't have accepted the offer . +Do you know how much they are paying her ? +I don't know . But I bet it must have been a good offer , or she wouldn't have accepted it . +What is up ? +Look at the dishes ! I have told you three times to put away these dishes . But now ... +Oh , don ’ t be angry . I just thought you might need them sometime . +I have told you that I don ’ t need them any more . The thing that really annoys me is that you played dumb with me . +Are you a smoker ? +Yes , I ’ m afraid I am . My husband is a smoker too . +Would you describe yourself as being a heavy smoker ? +No . But my husband smokes 20 or more a day . +When did you begin to smoke ? +I had my first cigarette when I was 17 . +Might I ask if you have tried to give up smoking ? +Yes . Twice . +Hey , look at my new shirt . What do you think about it ? +Just so-so . Where did you get it ? +I bought it on a street market . A real bargain ! +I'd much rather buy expensive but good quality clothing , because it is not only nice but lasts a long time . +Jenny , you look terrible . What's eating you ? +Don't brother me ! +Hey , chill out , I'm just trying to help . +Sorry , Sally , it's not your fault . +So , what's the problem ? +I drew a blank on the algebra test . +No kidding ! Didn't you study for it ? +Yeah , but nothing was clear during the test . +That's too bad , anyway , I'm sure things will turn around next semester . +I'm thinking of dropping out . +You can't do that , Jenny ! +I'm dead serious about this , Sally . +Come on , let's talk about it . +Lisa , I'm home . +How was your day ? +Pretty good . I've made a few friends already . +Anybody I know ? +Well , Pam Franklin lives next door to us . By the way , can I go to her house this Saturday ? +Of course . You didn't have to ask me . +That's what Pam said . +Just don't stay out too late . +It's nice and bright today , isn't it ? +Yeah . The autumn is marvelous here . +How about winter ? +That's a hard time . The air is cold and damp , and the road is often icy . +It's boring , right ? +Sure . +Do you get much rain during the summer ? +Plenty . We never worry about lack of rainwater in our area . +So you should bring an umbrella often . +That's right . +Thank you for coming to see me off . +Not at all . +If have time , I'll come again . +You're welcome at any time . +Thank you for your hospitality . I hope I didn't cause you too much trouble during my stay . +You're most welcome . +I'm afraid I have to go now . The plane will take off soon . +Call us as soon as you get home . +May I invite you to dance with me ? +Sorry , I can't dance . +Never mind , I can teach you . +Is it difficult to learn ? +No , it is easy . +How should I do ? +You just follow me . +All right . By the way , do you often dance ? +Yup , because dance can relax myself . +It seems a good way . +Hmm , what should I wear today ? +Come on , you think about what to wear almost every day . There are thousands of clothes in your wardrobe . +Well , haven't you ever heard people say that there is always one piece of clothes missing from a woman's wardrobe ? +I have and I can prove that is 100 % true for you . +Loving to look beautiful is women's nature . In fact , I am thinking about going to my favorite clothing shop today . +No kidding ! Again ? ! You just went shopping yesterday . You really are a shopaholic . +Well , I need to change the shoes I bought from Nasi . They are too small . I want to ask them whether they come in a larger size . +OK . Do you have the receipt with you ? I think they will ask you to show them the receipt first . +I'm feeling hungry . +Isn't it time for dinner ? +Yes , let's get something to eat . +How about Mac Donald's ? +What do you think of the way people use and treat animals ? +I think most people treat animals well , but we are often cruel to animals . When we raise animals for food , the conditions they live in are often poor . +Perhaps people should stop eating animals . We could grow more crops . +What would you do with all the animals ? You couldn ’ t just let them go . Besides , some people would still hunt them . Meat has become an integral part of our diet . +We could provide them with better conditions anyway . We should certainly try to improve the conditions at zoos . We should try to recreate the natural conditions as much as possible . +That ’ s true . I think zoo are a good idea , because they allow people to get close to animals . I think it ’ s good for kids to see wild animals . +I agree . I ’ m an adult and I love going to the zoo . I don ’ t like animals experiments though . I believe that we can do tests in other ways . +I read that the number of animals being used in experiments is falling dramatically as new techniques are being introduced . +That ’ s good news . The good thing is that most people treat their pets well . +Sometimes you read about people who have been cruel to pets or other animals , but those stories are rare . +Have you every given money to any of the charities that take care of animals . +Yes , I have . They do an excellent job . +I'll be seeing you around . +OK.Take care . +Did Bean send these dirty jokes to you , too ? Look ! +What a creep ! Phony good luck e-mails are one thing , but sexual harassment is crossing the line . +No wonder he asked for my address first-he just wants to harass me ! +You could try using a spam filter to reject stuff that's obviously pornographic or anything else you don't want . +Do you object to drinking black tea , Mr.Zhang ? +Yes , that is why I never drink it . +Do you drink green tea , then ? +Very seldom , because tea has tannin which may be harmful to one's health . +But if the tea is good and well prepared , it will do much good . +What good is it for ? +Not only can it appease one's thirst , but it can also refresh one when tired . +That's true , but it must not be allowed to stand long . +Why is it so ? +Because if you drink a kind of tea which has been prepared for some time before , it will do you harm . +I just heard your boy had taken the first place in the history test . He is super cool . +You flatter me . +Jennifer , would you like to have dinner with me ? +Yes . That would be nice . When do you want to go ? +Is today OK ? +Sorry , I can't go today . +How about tomorrow night ? +Ok . What time ? +Is 9:00 PM all right ? +I think that's too late . +Is 6:00 PM OK ? +Yes , that's good . Where would you like to go ? +The Italian restaurant on 5th street . +Oh , I don't like that Restaurant . I don't want to go there . +How about the Korean restaurant next to it ? +OK , I like that place . +Hi , long time no see . How have you been ? +Oh , I've been fine , but I'm having some trouble with my son . +Tell me all about it . +Oh , he's 14 and in the past few months , he's become quieter and a bit secretive . He locks himself in his room and I think he's running around with the wrong crowd . +Oh , I see . What makes you think that ? +Well , he's become friends with a couple of older boys who are in a band . And one night last weekend , he came home really late , way past his curfew . +Really ? What happened ? +He told me that his friend's car broke down and they had to walk home . +I see what you mean . I understand why you're concerned . Have you tried talking to your son about it ? +I haven't yet . I just keep hoping it's just a phase he's going through . +You may be right , but it doesn't hurt to find out more about what's going on in his life . +You're right . I should talk to him . Sometimes , it's not easy being a parent . Thanks . It helps to get it off my chest . You're always so easy to talk to . +I don't know about that , but my door is always open . Stop by anytime . +Hello , Tom ! Do you have plans for this evening ? +Nothing special . +How about having dinner with me ? +That's great . I would love to . And when ? +Let ’ s fix it at seven o'clock , OK ? +No problem . However , maybe I should come early to help you prepare the dinner . +Don ’ t worry . I will arrange everything . +All right , see you tonight . +See you . +Hello Mei , How about going for a meal this evening ? +Good idea ! I finish work at five . Why don ’ t we meet at six ? +Ok that sounds good . Where shall I meet you ? +Let ’ s meet in front of the train station . +Ok great , I ’ ll see you at six . +Ok , see you tonight ! Don ’ t be late ! +I'd like to meet you again sometime . +That would be great . Actually , can I get your phone number , Ella ? That's assuming you don't mind if I call you sometime . +Anytime . You can reach me at 5558929 . +Ok , got it . I will call you sometime next week . +Fine . +It's time to go . Bye , Ella . Hope to see you soon +Bye , Jason . +Lisa , I'm so glad to see you . How are you doing ? +Fine . I miss you so much , uncle Benjamin . +Me too . We haven't seen each other for years . +It's been 3 years now . +How time flies ! Now you are a college student out of a little girl . +How is aunty Shirley ? +Couldn't be better . +How has May been ? +She's been good . She is in grade one in Joy Chain high school . And she dreams to be a volunteer in 2008 . +When she told me that she would marry no man but Dick , my heart was almost in my mouth . +You were scared , too ? I dared not tell you my feeling when I heard that . I almost got fainted . +I could not and can ’ t make out the reason why she would set her heart on a man like Dick . He plays the field with many girls . +But Sarah says she does not care , so long as he loves her . +Excuse me . May I take a picture of you and your little boy ? +What ’ s it for ? +It ’ s for a book . +Oh , that ’ s a nice idea . Well , it ’ s fine if you take our picture . +Thank you . I appreciate your help . +Hey , That's a really nice outfit you have on . +Why , thank you . I wasn't sure if it looked okay or not . I can't believe all the words the salesgirl said . +Oh , you look stunning . Your dress really goes well with your shoes . +I'm glad that you think so . I thought it might be a bit too revealing . +No , not at all . It looks really classy on you . Where did you pick that up ? +I got it on sale down at the department store . +When did you go there ? +I was just there a couple of days ago . You know , you should go down there too . They have a lot of stylish clothes on sale . +I might just do that . What style of clothes do they have ? +Anything you want . They have both casual and formal styles . +I was hoping to get a few new ties for my collection . +That's a good idea . Some of your ties are pretty outdated . +Well , I spent a lot of money on getting my shirts tailor-made , so I couldn't afford to buy any new ties . +Anyways , are you going to the party tonight ? +Yes , I am . Say , are you going to wear that outfit to the party ? +I don't think so . It is a little too formal . I'm probably going to wear something more laid back . +Me too . I will probably go dressed in a T-shirt and jeans . +I guess that you will really be dressing down . +That's my style when I'm not in the office . +Good point . I suppose that we all have our own individual styles . +Hello , John . How are you ? +I'm fine , thanks . And you ? +Very well , thanks . Nice to see you again . I haven't seen you for a long time . What have you been doing lately ? +Oh , nothing much really . And how is everything with you ? +Fine , thanks . I've been busy lately . +What have you been doing ? +I've been studying for my exams . My school exams will begin next month . +Really ? Good luck for them . +Thanks . And how are your parents ? +They're both very well , thanks . +Where are you going now ? +I'm going to do some shopping.Why don't you come with me ? +I can't . I have to meet someone . +It's been nice talking to you . +Good-bye . See you again sometime . +Mom , look , that cake looks delicious . My mouth is watering . +OK , boy . I will buy it for you . +What a pin-up she is ! +Can you imagine she's over forty ? +That's incredible ! She has such a sharp figure . +Absolutely . She's a teacher of aerobics . +What's the date today Mr.Brown ? I don't have a calendar . +Today is Tuesday , 25th September , 2001 . +25th Sep ? Oh , I have an appointment tonight . +What time is your appointment ? +It is at 8 o'clock . +What time is now ? Do you have the correct time ? +I don't know what time it is . +It must be about 6 o'clock . +I have to go now . I don't want to be late . +You won't be late . It's still early . +Hi , Michelle . Do you need to use the photocopier ? +Oh , hi Jeremy . No please , go ahead . So how are you , Jeremy ? I was talking to Linda about you only last week . +Oh , I'm fine , thanks . I'm super busy with work actually . Did you hear about the Lawson contract ? +No , tell me more . +Well , I was discussing the contract with Bill and he said that they met the head of Lawsons last week . +And . +And hopefully they are going to confirm the deal on Wednesday , fingers crossed . +That's great news , Jeremy . Congratulations ! Anyway , I must get back , but give my regards to your wife Monica . +I will , Michelle . Speak to you soon . +What's your favorite kind of music ? Do you like pop music ? +I like almost all kinds of music . But I like country music best . +There was a concert country music last week . +I wish I had been there ! +I like it , too . But sometimes I enjoy jazz and classical music . +You have good taste in music . +What can I do for you ? +I am returning these books . +What did you do to this book ? +I accidentally ripped the cover . +You will need to pay for the damage . +How much do I need to pay ? +I ’ m going to need $ 5.00 . +That ’ s not too expensive . +It isn ’ t . +Here ’ s the $ 5.00 . +Thank you . +No problem . Have a good one . +Hello ? +Hi , Randy . What are you going to do this weekend ? +I ’ Ve no idea . Nothing really . +How about going hunting with me ? +Wonderful . +Okay . I ’ ll pick you up around 6 +I ’ ll be ready . +How is your business on the Internet , Steven ? +Don't mention it . I lost a bunch of money on it this year . I think it is on the brink of bankruptcy . +I am sorry to hear that . It shows that you should buy companies , not ideas . +I changed my strategy around too . I am investing in good companies now . +Yes , I agree with you . I am going to find a good company and invest in it soon . +It's a good idea . But please be careful when you invest this time . +Yes , I will . I should learn more from you . After all I am green hand on it . +If you have any question , you can ask me . +OK . My wife sent me a message and asked me to go home just now . I am leaving . +All right . Let's chat next time . Bye-bye . +Bye . +Where do you have to go . +To New York . +When do you have to be there . +Tomorrow morning . +How long do you have to be there ? +Three days . +When will you be back ? +On Friday . +I ’ Ve got a new boss . +Oh , what ’ s he like ? +Well , he ’ s got dark hair and brown eyes . +Yes . +And a white sports car . +Um , that ’ s good . +Yes , but he ’ s got a wife and 3 children as well . +Now I understand . But I don't smoke or drink.So what am I supposed to buy in here ? +You can buy some of these nice butterflies . +No , I'm sorry . I don't think it is nice to have butterflies mounted in boxes.It is kind of disgusting . +What ? You feel sorry for the butterflies ? +Yes . I think they should just let them fly free , and not try to sell them to foreigners . It is a kind of destruction of nature . +Well , I agree with you . I'd rather think that the butterflies are flying around in the mountains . I just wonder if they really catch so many that it affects the butterfly population . +Who knows ? Hey , I like these jade bears here . +How much are they ? +This one is 2300 dollars.Maybe I should buy it for my mother . What do you think ? +If you want . Didn't you buy her a small vase already ? +Yes , but she would like this a lot . She likes to collect little things like this . +Alright . Buy it then . I won't buy anything . Well , maybe I'll buy some Cognac . +Maybe I could buy some Cognac for my brother . He always drinks it . +Let's go ask about it . +What's new ? +Nothing much . +Hi , Monica , I got big news . +You got a raise ? +Not really , just take a wild guess . +You got promoted ? +Well , it is not going to happen so soon , I guess . +You won a lottery ? Don ’ t beat around the bush , just tell me , please . +Ok , I lost 5 pounds . +I'm frustrated . +What's the problem ? +I can't work out this problem . +Let me take a look . Maybe I can figure it out . +Thanks . I really appreciate it . +You ’ re a big fan of Andy Lau , aren ’ t you ? +Yes , I ’ Ve been got all his albums and most of his films on DVD . I adore him . He ’ s my idol . +How come you don ’ t have all of his films on DVD ? +Some of his early films are hard to find nowadays , especially the ones where he only played a bit part . +I see . I ’ m sure you ’ ll find them one day . I see you also have several poster of him . +Yes . These posters are new . I bought them last week and put them up on my bedroom walls yesterday . +Are you a member of his fan club ? +I was , but then I discovered you can find out everything for free on the internet , so I ’ m not a member now . +Did you see the interview with Andy Lau in cosmopolitan magazine last month ? +Of course ! I bought two copies . +Two copies ? One to keep and one to cut the pictures out of , right ? +What would you like to have in your breakfast , bread , egg or sandwiches ? +Bread . +And milk or orange juice ? +Orange juice . +What would you like for lunch , pork , mutton or beef ? +I think mutton is best . +What kind of drink do you like most , red wine , beer or champagne ? +I like champagne . +And among apples , oranges and bananas , which is your favorite ? +Banana of course . +Do you always have meals outside or in your house ? +I always have meals outside , because I ’ m not good at cooking . +The art critic from the daily chronicle doesn ’ t think much of the max oreo exhibition . He says that the artwork is uninspiring and old fashioned . +Really ? I thought the exhibition showed that he had real talent . What did you think of it ? +I liked it . I didn ’ t think his works were masterpieces , but the certainly weren ’ t uninspiring , in my opinion . +I don ’ t think I ’ Ve ever read a good review of an exhibition by that critic . He doesn ’ t seem to like anything . Which kinds of paintings do you prefer ? +I like landscapes and still life . You prefer abstract paintings , don ’ t you ? +Yes , I do . I like painters who use will rather than watercolors . The colors appear richer . What do you think ? +I agree . I prefer oils too . I collect landscapes , but I only have a small collection . You have a small collection of abstract art , don ’ t you ? +Yes . Good artwork is very expensive nowadays . When I was in china , I bought some calligraphy by famous artists . You should come and see it sometime . +That would be nice . Can you read the characters ? +I know what the characters on the paintings mean . I think Chinese characters look very artistic . It ’ s said that the way they are written can give insight into the artist ’ s character . +I think that ’ s true with any of the fine arts . +Jenny , are you having fun here ? +Yes , of course . This is really a nice party with wonderful people and lovely wines . +I ’ m glad you ’ re enjoying it . +Thank you for the invitation . +It ’ s my pleasure . Would you like another glass of champagne ? +Yes , please . Thank you for everything . +What do you think of the play showed last night ? +I think there's too much violence and it did no good to my little boy . +Yes , I turned it off when the fight got heated in it . +It's really hard to avoid such bad influence anyway . +Hey , Tom , I want to learn how to play golf . +You're really sporty ! +I want to do everything I can . +Do you have clubs ? +No . Can I rent clubs ? +There are clubs for beginners . It's cheaper to buy those rather than rent them a few times . +What kinds of clubs ? +Like the seven-piece set . It's only $ 120 . +I'll buy a set . But you have to teach me . +Okay . +You are married to a foreigner , aren't you ? So what's it like ? +Well , in the first year of our marriage , we had great difficulties in getting along . The things that are important to me are not important to him . We had a lot of conflicts . +Yeah , I know what you mean . The first year of any marriage is difficult for all couples , not to mention two people from different cultures . +Now we have a two-year-old boy . We're very happy that he's healthy and smart . +Oh , so he's half Chinese and half American . That's unusual . What languages does he speak , then ? +Right now he speaks mostly English , and he can say a few Chinese words . But he will learn in the future . +What does he look like ? Can people tell ? +Yes , people surely can . He's whiter than the Chinese kids , and his hair is a little blonde . My husband says his eyes are very Chinese though . +What do you mean his grandmothers are already dead ? Wait a minute , you don't think he's avoiding me , do you ? +Well you know , claiming that your grandmother is sick is the classic excuse used to get out of doing something . +Oh man , I hate rejection . It really makes you feel terrible , especially when you really liked the person . +Is there anything I can do to help ? Just remember that I'm there for you if you want to talk about it . +How do you do , Mr.Smith ? This is Lili . I'm calling to thank you for the wonderful dinner we had yesterday . I enjoyed it very much . +You're welcome . I'd like you to join us for dinner again sometime . +Thank you , Mr.Smith . I'm returning to China today . +Today ? +Yes . I appreciate all help and in particular , all the time that you've spent on my account during my stay here . +Don't mention it . I am pleased to help you . +If there's anything that I can help you in the future , please let me know . +I'll do that.Thank you.Have a safe trip home . +Do you buy that newspaper every day ? +Yes , I do . I find it very informative.It always has plenty of articles from correspondents all over the world and the business section is very useful too . +Is there a Sunday edition of that newspaper ? +Yes . There is . it has several sections , so it ’ s quite a read ! It usually takes me a few hours to read it on Sunday morning . +What section does it have ? +Let me see . There ’ s the news section , the entertainment section , sports , business , and world affairs . +What ’ s in that section ? +World affairs ? They look at the most important stories in more detail . I find it fascinating . Do you buy a daily paper ? +I buy a national newspaper sometimes , buy I nearly always buy a local evening newspaper . I find the local news more interesting than national or international news . +You must like negotiating a lot . People are saying , you are a super negotiator . +Ha , I am flattered . Actually , when it comes to negotiate , you don ’ t need to like it . You just need to understand how it works . +I am not good at it by any means . Give me some advice . +Well , generally speaking , if you want to change someone ’ s mind or understand his position , you have to put yourself in his shoes . Understand his need and the cost for his need . And then you work together to find a solution . +Sounds easy . But how can I apply to practice ? I am thinking about applying for more reimbursement for my mobile bill . But I am afraid our boss will turn me down . +Ok , as John after Kennedy put it , let us never negotiate out of fear , but let us never fear to negotiate . +Hey , Shirley . The party has been wonderful . My husband and my children have enjoyed it very much , and me too . +I've said you will enjoy your life here ! +I surely will . By the way , is the party like this held every weekend in our neighborhood ? +Oh , I've forgotten to tell you . The party is held every other week . And every family gives their own performance each time . +My children would like that ; they like dancing very much . +That's good ! +Look ! Who is that guy on the stage ? +Oh , my God ! That's my husband , Benjamin . +Really ? +He likes American Idol very much , and he always imitates the contestant at home . I can't believe he got on the stage himself . +He performs very well . He is so funny ! +OK , just ignore him . I've noticed there are lots of exercise facilities in our community . After dinner you can go there for a walk with your family ! +OK , that's perfect ! By the way , is there any playground in our neighborhood ? +Yes , there is one behind our building . And you can play tennis there . But if you want to play tennis there , they will change you 30 Yuan per hour . +OK , got it ! Thank you so much . You have helped me a lot ! +You are welcome ! We are neighbors ! +You look pale , you must have poor health . +Yeah . You said it . +Why not go to see the doctor ? +I ’ Ve done that . The doctor advised me to cut out smoking and drinking . +How is Tom now ? +He's out of the hospital and up and about again at last . +Let's congratulate him on Sunday . +You said you like classical music very much . Then who is your favorite opera star ? +There are three of them , the Three Tenors . +Oh , you mean Pavarotti , Domingo and Carreras . Have you been to their live shows ? +Yeah , it's really a unique experience . It's a solo concert by Pavarotti . He put on the performance in the Forbidden City in Beijing . +I've heard of that one . It was also his swan song . +Besides , speaking of classical music , we should never forget about the New Year's Concert . +Of course not . People all over the world watch it on TV , or listen to it on the radio . +Sure . It's undoubtedly one of the biggest classical music events . Have you ever been to the live show ? +Yes , I went to the New Year's Concert in 2005 . +Wow , you are so lucky . I saw that one on TV . But it must be so different to be there in the concert hall . +That's for sure . You know , it's really amazing to be in the best concert hall , listening to the performance by the best orchestra . I had the greatest time ever . +Who was the conductor at that event ? +Lorin Maazel . He did an amazing job . Moreover , he just celebrated his 75th birthday . +So cool . I wish I can go to the live New Year's Concert someday in the future . +The right opportunity for you would come along soon . You know , music is transnational . +I believe in that . Well , the performance is about to begin . Let's be quiet . +I really need to find a parking spot . +Are you looking for a space on or off campus ? +Do you know any spaces on campus ? +You can park in the student parking structure . +Where is it located ? +You'll find the parking structure on the west side of the campus . +Do you have any idea if the parking structure has any spaces left ? +Last time I checked , it was pretty empty . +What time was it when you went up there ? +That was earlier this morning . +It wouldn't be full right now , would it ? +I have no idea . +Ok . Let ’ s look at our short presentation on China . What do we need to include ? +We need to talk about the size of the country and its population . +Ok . China is about the same size as Canada and the united states and it has a population of about 1.3 billion , making it the latest country in the world by population . +It says here that most of the people are han Chinese , but there are 55 minorities that make up almost 10 % of the population . +We need to say something about the geography and climate of china . Is there any way to divide the country into sections ? +We could divide into five parts . There ’ s the northeast , which is mild in summer and very cold in winter . Then there is the northwest , which is largely desert . Tillet is famous for its mountainous climate . The rest of the country can be roughly divided into two parts . One is temperate-mild in winter and warm in summer . Then , in the south it is hot most of the year . +That sounds very general . +It is , buy remember that we only have a few minutes to make our presentation . We can select cities from each part and give data for each one . +One from each part ? Lhasa , Urumqi , Harbin , shanghai , and hongkong . The capital city is Beijing , right ? +Yes . The other large cities are Chengdu , Dalian , Wuhan , tianjin , shenyang , Chongqing . Hongkong and Guangzhou . +We should take a large map and highlight those cities . What is each of them famous for ? +I learned of the railway accident only this morning . +A really dreadful accident and many people were killed . +Is that true ? +Yeah , well , I fill you in one the details later . +Thanks . +Who is responsible for the accident ? Is it Tony ’ s fault ? +No . I don ’ t suppose he ’ s to blame . The man in the other car made a big mistake . +You mean Tony is the victim ? No , I don ’ t think so . He ’ s equally responsible because he tried to overtake you . +Yeah . I think everyone should go easy on driving . +Did you hear who won the English speech contest ? +No , who won ? +It's George . +Really ? I'm surprised . I didn't know his English was that good . +He's honest , hardworking and responsible . I simply can't find any shortcoming of his as an employee . +I rather doubt it.You ' re cheated by his appearance , I think . +Don't be so jealous . He never speaks ill of you before me . +Paul , let's go and see Grandpa this afternoon . +But Grandpa will be working . +It's Saturday . +I almost forget . +I have made up my mind . I am getting a tattoo . +Really ? Are you sure ? +Yeah ! Why not ? They are trendy and look great ! I want to get a dragon on my arm or maybe a tiger on my back . +Yeah but , it is something that you will have forever ! They use indelible ink that can only be removed with laser treatment . On top of all that , I have heard it hurts a lot ! +Really ? +Of course ! They use this machine with a needle that pokes your skin and inserts the ink . +Oh , I didn ’ t know that ! I thought they just paint it on your skin or something . +I think you should reconsider and do some more research about tattoos . Also , find out where the nearest tattoo parlor is and make sure they used sterilized needles , and that the place is hygienic . +Maybe I should just get a tongue piercing ! +our company is going to do some cutbacks soon . +really ? Where did you hear that ? +I met with the supervisor just this morning . I don't know , but I am a little worried . Who do you think will get sacked ? +I'm not sure ... well , first , it couldn't be George . He is such a kiss-ass . He'd wash the boss's dog if he asked . +no , it's not going to be George . I don't think it's Andy either . He is involved with the boss's sister in-law . And you know how whipped our boss is . +that's true . What about Lisa ? I bet there's nobody who could do a worse job than her . +Lisa ? No way . I've heard a rumor that she and the boss were having an affair . You know rumors can't come out from nowhere . +well , okay . Then there is still Michael . But he's pet after having the best sales record for three months in a row . It definitely won't be Michael . +no , that would be crazy . But then who will it be ? Oh dear , it must be me . I should have known it ! Why else would he have talked to me alone about the downsizing . What should I do ? I've got a family t +well , it could be me too . But I am not too worried . This place is suffocating me with this boss being such a hard-ass and colleagues who barely know how to get dressed in the morning . It would almost b +Do you often surf the Internet ? +Yeah . I do it once a week . +Is it very interesting ? +Sure . I get a lot of information and make many friends . +Oh , I'll have a try . +I want to say ... +Say it ! What is it ? +That I can't go on any longer without you . +You know you shouldn't say that at a time like this . +Nancy , I made up my mind you were the only woman for me at the first sight . +Too sudden ! I'm not ready for it . +Forgive me for startling you with the impetuosity of my sentiments . +Stop it . No more of that talk . +I really love you . +No , I shall faint . +And I hope so . This is what you were meant for . Say you love me , say yes , say yes . +Yes . +Do you think Tom will be elected president ? +No , I think Harry will get it . +Let's make a bet on who gets it . +OK , loser buys pizza tomorrow night . +Your knowledge of English is really surprising . +Oh , it's nothing to speak of . +No , seriously . I am impressed . +Thank you . I appreciate the compliment . +Your knowledge of English is really surprising . +Oh , it's nothing to speak of . +No , seriously . I am impressed . +Thank you . I appreciate the compliment . +Have you noticed the Mexican restaurant on the other side of this street ? +You mean the one with the yellow bricks ? But last time I saw it , it wasn ’ t really in business yet . I saw some people inside furnishing the rooms . Is it open now ? +Yes , someone give me a pamphlet introducing the restaurant and its business hours when I passed by this morning.So , let ’ s have a try . My treat . +Great , I like the idea of trying some new food . +Good for you . Today we have more chances to try some new food because there are now many new form restaurants in our city coming from places all over the world . +Also some traditional Chinese food , like noodles and dumpling are marketed in modern ways with improved food quality . I heard this year , the government has imposed very stringent inspection on the hygiene conditions restaurants and suppliers of food are also under tighter control . +For sure all the customers will benefit from this . +You were right . It's raining again . +I told you so . +Hi . What's up ? +Nothing much . What's new with you ? +Not too much . I've been pretty busy . +Me too . Seems like all I do is eat and sleep . +Gotta go . Call me tonight . +Okay . Check you later . +What's all this noise about ? +They're discussing whether they should replace Miss Smith , the Music teacher . +Why ? +Because she's not responsible enough . +How many people are there in your family ? +My immediate family is quite small . It ’ s just my older step-brother , my mom , my step-dad and me . how about you ? +I have a large family . I have three older sisters , my twin sister , a younger brother , and parents . +I didn ’ t know you were a twin ! Are you identical or fraternal ? +We ’ re identical . I mean , we look exactly the same , but we are complete opposites when it comes to everything else . +Interesting . It must be great having a twin sister . Are you best friends , too ? +We used to be really close , but that all changed once she moved to Shanghai . How about your family ? You didn ’ t mention to your biological father . +I don ’ t know much about him . He died when I was just a baby . Even though I don ’ t have a blood relationship with my step-father and step-brother , I consider them to be my real family . +What about your step-brother ’ s mother ? Does he keep in touch with her ? +No , she also died when my step-brother was little . My mother and my step-father met each other shortly after my father died and became good friends . They ended up getting married a few years later . +Sounds like it was meant to be . +It's awfully quiet around here . +Yeah . There's nobody in sight . +I have a feeling that we're not supposed to be in here . +I think you're right . Let's go . +Mike's going to have a self-driving traveling across the country . +Really ? He is so great . +You don't want to join him ? +Surely I want . It's quite popular nowadays . +Yes , and I want to have a try . +Where are you going ? +I'm going to Bill's house . +What are you going to do there ? +I'm going to help him . +What's he doing ? +He's fixing his roof . +Are you going to the movie theater with me tonight ? +Is there anything good playing ? +Titanic is playing tonight . It's a blockbuster . +Really ? I want to go , too . +OK , let's meet at the movie theater entrance tonight . Don ’ t be late . +No problem . +( After watching the movie . ) Are you crying ? +I get a lump in my throat whenever I see a tragic movie . +Tragic movie ? I think it's a love story . +But their love is touching ! +Ah , you're just too emotional . +I am not ! +Many people play sports in China , don't they ? +Yes . Table tennis is probably the most popular . +I expect all Chinese can play table tennis . +Most anyway . +Do you like playing table tennis ? +Yes , I like . But I can't play it well . +Are indoor sports popular ? +Basketball and swimming are very popular . +Really ? I like playing basketball , too . +We can play together if you are free . +That's great . +I couldn't look at you , and say you aren't beautiful ! +You are pretending ! +No , Miss Anna , you must let me say how lovely you are ! What's wrong with that ? +It's wrong because---it isn't true . +You know that everybody notices how beautiful you are , don't you ? +Well , no-that is , I've heard Linda say they do , but ... Thank you . But please don't speak to me again . +Oh , Miss Anna ! That's too hard ! I won't be here long . +Both our countries are quite small . How would you describe the landscape in your country ? +My country is well know for being very flat . There are some hills in the southeast of the country . +Is it really completely flat ? +Pretty much . The land rises and falls only a few meters . The southeast , the hills rise to a height of a few hundred meters . There are mountains over 1000 meters high in your country . +Yes , there are . They are not very big compared with the mountains in other countries . +The coast of your country is very varied . The coast of my country is just made up of sandy beaches . +That doesn ’ t sound too bad . Great for sunbathing ! The coast of my country changes even within a few kilometers . There are cliffs , then sandy beaches . Then rocks . There are lots of caves in the cliffs . There are also many small islands off the coast , but few people lives on them . +There are many lakes and rivers in your country too . We also have many rivers , but only a few lakes . +We also have waterfalls in the mountains . They make the landscapes look very scenic . The landscape has been shapes by millions of years of erosion , especially by water . +Do you speak only English in the class , or does your teacher explain everything to you in Spanish ? +Oh , we never speak Spanish in class ! Miss.Parker speaks to us only in English . +I suppose she's right.Does she speak English very slowly ? +Not always.Sometimes we don't understand her.Then she has to repeat what she said . +It must be interesting to study English . +Mario and I are the best students in the class.Miss.Parker says that my pronunciation is very good . +Is English pronunciation easy or difficult ? +Sometimes it's difficult.Some words look different from the way one pronounces them . +We have a class outing today . +Have fun . +Excuse me , Professor . I have to talk to you about why my homework didn't get done . +What happened that you didn't get it done ? +I had to watch a football game instead . +Well , you had more than one day ; couldn't you have fit it in on another day ? +Yes , I think so . +Either way , I only allow one missed assignment per semester . When will you be turning the make-up in ? +I'll make it up next week . +Fine , but it cannot happen again if you want an “ A ” in the class . +OK , I can do that . +Remember that you are in college now , not high school . +Will you be done doing my hair soon ? +Give me a little while longer . +How much time do you need ? +There you go . How do you like it ? +I think it looks gorgeous . +You think it looks nice ? +I honestly think it looks great . +Thanks . I'm glad that I did a good job . +How much is it for my hair ? +Just give me $ 55 . +Thanks for doing such a good job . +No problem , girl friend . I'll see you next time . +Why do you look so gloomy ? What are you looking for ? +My dissertation . I put it somewhere last night and I can't find it now . +Did you finish typing yesterday ? +Yes , I kept on typing it until midnight , but it is lost . +Don't worry about it . It must be somewhere in your room . Let's see where you put it . Have you searched your drawers and the desk ? +Yes , but there is nothing inside the drawers or on the desk . +How about the shelf ? +I've searched everywhere . Where on earth did I put it ? +Don't get upset over it . At least you have another week to go . +I have been working on it for a whole month and it's too late to write another . Just think of all my hard work that goes for nothing . How could I do such a thing ? +Cheer up ! What I meant was that you can find it sometime during a week . There is no need to write a new one . Oh , what's this ? Is this your dissertation ? +Let me see . Yes , that's it . Where did you find it ? +You ’ Ve put it among these journals . +My poor memory . Thank you very much . +how come you're still up ? Shouldn't you be asleep by now ? +I've been having a hard time sleeping lately . +as far as I know , insomnia is usually caused by stress . Are you stressed at all ? +well , I'm really worried about my grades . I didn't think this course would be so stressful . +you're a good student . I'm sure you can do well . What you need to do is to relax . +you're probably right . I just wish it were that simple . How can I stop feeling so anxious all the time ? +taking a yoga class or learning some relaxation techniques can help you cope with your stress . +I don't really have time to learn anything new . I need to spend my time studying ! +you need to take some breaks throughout the day . Studying all day isn ’ t very usually effective . +you ’ re right . I usually end up starting at my computer or checking my email instead of doing my work for class . +besides , it ’ s not difficult to learn yoga . In fact , I can teach you a move that ’ s supposed to help you fall asleep ! You just have to sit down like this , bend over and breath in deeply . +that ’ s fantastic . I ’ m going to go try that out in my room now . good night ! +good night , sleep tight ; don ’ t let the bed bugs bite ! +Before we begin eating , I'd like to present everyone with a gift from Taiwan . +What is it ? +It's a Taiwanese puppet doll . +It's huge ! +Yeah . They're usually this big . +The craftsmanship is excellent . +All the parts work . +Thank you so much . +Don't mention it . +Can I still get tickets for tonight's performance ? +The balcony is still available . +Aren't there any other seats ? +No , I'm afraid that's it . +It seems to me that you fall for good-looking guys . +Yeah . +Why don't you date up a handsome guy and spend time together ? +I have found myself a date mate . +You must have a lot in common and a barrel of fun . +A barrel of fun , of course . He often says that I'm a date bait . +Would you like some coffee , Tom ? +Yes , thank you . +Here's some sugar . +Thanks . +Espresso is made with a machine that forces steam and boiling water through finely ground coffee . It's strong . +OK , OK , this is good . Keep talking . What about cappuccino and all those other drinks ? +Cappuccino is one-third espresso and two-thirds a mixture of steamed milk and froth . +Froth ? +If you want something manly , stick with the espresso . +Thanks , Hugh . I owe you one . +What do you think of the speech the man delivered just now ? +Don't believe him.He ' s a liar . +We cannot expect politics to be true anyway . +Another weekend is coming ! +And we're going to have summer vacation . +Yes.What will you do this weekend ? +I'll plan for the vacation . +Hello , Tom . How do you find the dinner of yesterday ? +Very good . That may be the most delicious food I have ever eaten . +It's nice of you to say so . +I really appreciate you for having invited me . +Don't mention it . You know , we ’ re old friends . +Anyway , I owe you one . Are you free tonight ? +Yes . Why ? +I want to invite you to enjoy the food I cook . +That ’ s great . I'd love to . +Thank you for your letter . +Is your waist any better ? +Yes , I ’ m feeling very well these days . +I ’ m glad you are getting better . +And I was glad to receive your letter . +Then when will you be back again ? +I will be back again next Wednesday . +I hope to see you at that time again . Bye . +Bye . +When I was a little boy , I had a dream of becoming a lawyer . +Your dream comes true now . +Yes , I knew I would make it . +You are really confident . +This is my uncle , Charles . +He looks strong.What does he do ? +He's a captain . +He must be very brave . +Exactly ! +How's your brother doing ? +As a matter of fact , he hasn't been feeling too well . +I'm sorry to hear that . What's the matter ? +Tell him I hope he's better soon . +I'll tell him . Thanks for asking about him . +Are you a soccer fan ? +Yes , I am . I like to watch soccer games on TV , but I don ’ t play . I watched every game of the 2002 World Cup . +Which team is your favorite ? +Italian . They played very well , but they were not very lucky . +I like the Brazilians . They are the real champions . +What are you doing , awake ? +I can't sleep ... +But it's almost midnight ! +Exactly . I'm too excited for Christmas morning . Also , I thought I heard Santa . +Really ? How do you know it was Santa ? +Well , I heard that naughty boys and girls get coal in their stockings , so I thought I'd be nice and make Santa cookies . I even left out some milk . I heard someone in the kitchen eating the cookies , so I came downstairs ! +Hmm ... well I know that Santa won't come down the chimney with you hiding behind the tree , spying on him ! +Really ? +Really ! Let's go back upstairs and get back to bed . That way , we can let Santa do his job . Then when you wake up , it will be Christmas already ! +O-K ... +Hey , honey ! Is that you ? Don't eat all the cookies — I want some , too ! +Hey Eve , how are you ? +I ’ m fine , Celia . And you ? +I ’ m ok . I ’ m so busy ! +Do you have a lot of homework ? +Yes . Don ’ t you ? +Of course I do ! +Which class are you working on right now ? +I ’ m studying for my chemistry exam tomorrow . +Are you in Mrs Green ’ s class ? +Yes . Are you ? +Yes . We must have the same exam tomorrow ! +Do you want to study together ? +Sure . This library is too quiet though . +Do you want to go to and empty classroom ? +That sounds good . +Ok . Let ’ s go ! +Are you ready to go the concert ? +Yes . Should we go there by bus so we aren't late ? +Actually , why don't we go there by bike ? We could get stuck in traffic if we travel by bus in rush hour . +That's true . Cycling is good for our environment , too . Let me just get my helmet then . +Is your helmet comfortable ? +Not really , but I liked the design , so I got it . +Maybe you should think about getting a round helmet ; they're better . +I'll think about it . +Is that your new bicycle ? +Yes , my father gave it to me for my birthday . Do you like it ? +It's the newest 10 speed cycling mountain bike . These are really expensive ! +Nothing but the best from my dad . I like everything about it except for the brakes . They are a bit sticky . +I can fix those for you . Is there anything else wrong with it ? +Well , my saddle is too low for me . Do you know how to change the height ? +That's easy . It's important to have the saddle high enough so that your legs can extend fully when you are on your bicycle . +Is that why my knees have felt sore after every time I've ridden my bike ? +It's possible . Give me a minute and I can fix these for you and then we can go . +Oh , God . It ’ s late . I ’ m afraid I have to leave . +But you just got here . Can ’ t you stay a little longer and have some tea ? +That ’ s very kind of you . But if I don ’ t go now I ’ ll miss the last bus . +That ’ s too bad . +Thank you for your hospitality . +Thanks for coming . +How about next time we meet at my place ? And I ’ ll treat you to Chinese food . I know how much you like it . We can order in and watch video too . Anything you like , I promise . +Great idea . I ’ m looking forward to it . See you then . +Well . I really do have to go . +Good night then . +See you tomorrow . +I'm going for a walk , Yi-jun . I need some time to myself . +Don't you want to go to the visiting hours ? This sheet says they are tonight . +I just can't right now . Everyone will be talking about Taylor and ... +... and maybe that's what we both need . +I need to come to grips with his death first . And I also need to prepare a eulogy in case I'm asked to speak tomorrow . +OK , but don't forget I'm here for you , and I know how you feel . It's my loss , too . +You're going to get into a lot of trouble if you do that . +What makes you say that ? +I don't see anything wrong with what we're doing ! That's just the problem . In these kind of things , the trouble doesn't always appear at first . +But everything has been so easy . +Everything has gone as smooth as clockwork . Just like we planned ! That may be true , but if you were to do it , you would have trouble on the horizon . You always say that . +Yeah , you never look at the positive side of things . +Okay . Have it your way , but don't say I didn't warn you . +Write down your name here in ink . +But I don ’ t have a pen with me . May I use a pencil ? +I ’ m afraid a pencil won ’ t do . Wait a moment , I ’ ll find you one . +this party rocks ! +you said it . Good beer , good music , and on top of that , there are so many hot girls here ! +I'm with you on that . Check out that one over there . I think I'm in love ! +well , she's alright , but not really my cup of tea . What about the blond with the red dress ? +oh , that's Janice . She's just new in town . You have a thing for blonds , eh ? +yeah ! She could do anything she wants to me ! +I bet . Why not go over and talk to her ? She's really nice . +I don't think so . I get so nervous talking to girls . I always put my foot in my mouth , scare her off , and end up looking like a real fool . Besides , she is way out of my league . +come on ! Man up ! You'll never know until you try . +okay okay , just let me have another cup of beers to get my head in the game . +all right . But I think you ought to move soon . +why ? +I can see five other guys eying her up . +okay , here I go ! +good luck ! +Do you watch a lot of TV ? +Not really . I could take it or leave it . +Not me . I have to have my TV and watch whatever comes on . +How can you do that ? +I am certain I am going to fail my English test . +Why are you so pessimistic ? +Because it's impossible to improve listening level within a week . +Only for this reason ? +Yes , I think my vocabulary and reading comprehension are not very bad . +Don't worry about it . Practice makes perfect . I will lend you some listening materials , so that you can practise more before the exam . I believe you can pass the exam with good preparation . +Oh , thank you . That's very nice of you . +Hello ! So you are leaving today . +Hello . Thank you for seeing me off . You actually don't need to bother . +It is my pleasure to see you off . +Thanks a lot . I hope to see you again . +I hope so , too . +Thanks again for everything you have done for me . +You're welcome . Have a nice trip ! +Did you see the way that Brian came to work yesterday ? Ever since he came back from that conference in Silicon Valley , he's been coming to work dressed in jeans and sweatshirts . It's like he's decided to make himself at home in his office . I don't know how long it'll take before the management talks to him about it . +He was really influenced by the way they do things on the west coast . I guess the working atmosphere is a lot more relaxed and casual in California . It comes from the information technology industry .. there isn't such a large division between home and office , so people want to work in the clothes they feel more relaxed in . +Maybe so , but it seems kind of strange , which the rest of us in white shirts , dark suites , and ties . +It's not as bad as that ... We are allowed to wear more casual jackets and trousers . Besides , didn't you hear what Brian found on his desk this morning ? +What's that ? +Management decided to give him four brand new white shirts . That's their way of telling him that his new style of dressing down is not quite acceptable . +I go to the fitness center every weekend . +What for ? +To lose some weight . +Why , you look pretty all right . +Uh-oh . I'm in trouble . +Why ? What's wrong ? +I just remembered that I've got to give a speech in class today and I forgot to prepare for it . +I guess you'll have to wing it . +I heard you received a prize for you book . +yes , I did . I won a prize for best local history book at the annual book awards . +congratulations ! You must be very proud of your achievement . +actually , I was happy just to get the book published . Winning the prize was an added bonus . +what was the prize ? +I won $ 200 to spend on any books of my choice . +that ’ s a great prize for a person who writes books ! Have you ever won a prize before ? +I shared a prize with some friends last week . We won a bottle of whisky at a pub quiz . +I won $ 10 in the lottery last month . Perhaps next time , I ’ ll be luckier and win the jackpot ! +To be frank , I find philosophy rather boring . +To tell you the truth , it's the most tedious course i have ever had . +How could you manage to pass the exam ? +It is still a mystery to me . +What date is it today ? +Why ? +Look at the girls in the street . They all have a bunch of flowers.Is it Valentine's Day ? +Oh , yes ! I completely forgot about it . +Did you have a fight with Jack ? +No , but now he'll be in trouble . What's a boyfriend for ? To forget about Valentine's Day ? +Come on , dear ! You forgot it , too . +You know , it's OK for a girl to forget these " big days " , but for a guy , to do that is unforgivable . +Is that your phone ? +Oh , it's Jack . Excuse me . +Wow ! Good timing . +He asked me out to a dinner tonight . How about joining us ? +Come on ! Three's a crowd ! +So what ? +Just go ! It's Valentine's Day ! +I heard that your previous manager was very capable , he is a good manger . +That ’ s a matter of opinion . +What do you mean ? +I worked with him for two years . That was the worst time in my career . +And lots of " Dear Abby " sob stories ... +Hey ! I learn a lot from the psychologists who give advice in those columns ! +No wonder you're such a wacko ... +Whatever ... Smell ! Perfume samples ! +Nice . Hey , I like the layout of this page ... +You mean , you like the pictures of the beautiful models ... Hello ? +How many cleaning ladies does your company hire ? +We have two cleaning ladies . But both of them have received little education . +Most cleaning ladies are illiterate . But some of them do a very nice job . +But I actually dislike another lady . She is more capable and seems to have ideas of her own . But the trouble is she Isa backseat driver with some of us . She would tell you what to do and where to put things . +I find that every employee here respects that manager very much . +Yes . He carries a lot of weight . Everyone here is willing to follow his orders . +What's your favorite book ? +It's Gone With the Wind . +Why do you like it best ? +I enjoy the various characters and the plot . +Well . I like the Thom Birds best . +Is it very interesting ? +Sure . I like the writer's language , too . +If I have a chance , I'll enjoy the book . +Would you like to go to the bookshop with me ? +That's a good idea.Let ' s go ! +It ’ s a beautiful day here in New Zealand at the Men ’ s Volleyball world championship . My name is Rick Fields and I ’ m joined by the man with the plan , Bob Copeland . +Thank you , Rick . We ’ Ve got a very exciting encounter ahead of us today as two powerhouse teams , Brazil and China , face off against each other and try to qualify for the next round . Without a doubt , both teams are in top shape and this will prove to be a competitive match . +The ref signals the start of the game and here we go . Ribero serves and China quickly receives the ball . Chen bumps it to the setter , and ... a very nice set by Chen ! +Xu spikes it ! Wow , what a great hit ! The Brazilian blockers anticipated the play and tried to block him but he managed to get the ball in ! +It ’ s China ’ s service now . What a superb jump serve by Li , oh , and we have a let serve . The ball was coming in fast and almost made it over the net . +Brazil calls for a time out and we ’ ll be right back , after a short commercial break . +Hello , Grace . That's a beautiful skirt you have on . Where are you going ? +I am going to attend an interview . +What kind of job are you applying for ? +My major is English . Of course I'll apply for an English teacher . +Oh . That dress doesn't exactly match the job . +Why ? You said my skirt was beautiful just now . +Yes , your skirt is really beautiful , but you are applying for a teaching position . You see , your skirt is very short , and your make up is too thick . What's more , the color of your lipstick doesn't match your skin . As a teacher , you should be a little more sedate . +Then what should I do ? +Some of my friends tell me that being a teacher , the most important is the beauty of mind . You shouldn't pay too much attention to your appearance . You should appear frugal and prudent . Your experience and knowledge will gain the appreciation of your interviewer . +I don't know how John can put up with his son , who fools around without working . +He's out of John's hands . Nothing he can do about such a black sheep . +If I were him , I would give him a good talking-to . I would insist on his stopping fooling around like that . +London is such a historical city ! There ’ s history everywhere you look . There ’ s nelson ’ s column , built as a monument to one of the Britain ’ s great admirals and his important victory . He won the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 . +I ’ m looking forward to seeing Westminster abbey , where many historical figures are buried , like Isaac Newton , the great mathematician and Winston Churchill , the great wartime leader . +Nearby , on the banks of the thames , there ’ s the statue of Boadicea . She fought the Romans when they invaded Britain . +Women have often played an important role in British history . Queen Elizabeth I built a navy strong enough to fight off the Spanish armada in 1588 . more recently , Margaret thatcher transformed british society in the 1980 ’ s . +She was a very controversial leader . Are we going to visit the famous tower of London later ? +There ’ s a lot to see there . Perhaps we should go tomorrow . +I ’ m looking forward to seeing the famous castle and prison . Many historic figures were imprisoned there in the past . I really want to see the crown jewels too . +I ’ Ve seen them before . They ’ re quite incredible . If you want to see historical figures in London , there ’ s one place you have to go . +Where ’ s that ? Oh , I know ! Madame Tussaud ’ s the waxworks museum . +There you can see british leaders , entertainers , criminals , and royalty . +Sometimes , it ’ s hard to know who belongs in each section of the museum ! +so , how should we go to the theatre ? +let's take the bus . +I hate the bus system in London ! The bus drivers are rude , the buses are never on time , and there are few people around who can help you . +it's not that bad . You probably just had a bad experience once . +it wasn't just once . Every single time I take the bus , something bad happens to me or to someone else on the bus . +we could take the subway , but we'd have to go three stops along one line and then change trains twice . +train fares are twice as expensive as the bus fare , too . +if we don't hurry up , we'll miss the show . Should we take the bus ? +we're already late , so I think we had better take a taxi . +I don't think we'll be able to find a taxi very easily during hush hours . Let's just take the bus . +fine . Have a look at the timetable to find out when the next one arrives . +it looks like it should be here in just a few minutes . +don't worry . Nothing bad will happen . I'll even buy your ticket for you . +thanks , that was nice of you . +see , now something good has happened to you on a bus trip ! +Mary , please go to the door . I hear the bell . +It's the mailman , Mother . Here's a letter from Uncle George . +Give it to me ... How wonderful ! He's coming to visit us . +When's he coming ? +He's coming by car on the twenty-fourth . He's staying from thetwenty-fourth to the twenty-sixth . +Let me look at the calendar . Good ! The twenty-fourth is a Saturday . Is he coming alone ? +No , he's coming with Aunt Cynthia and the girls . +Mother , I don't remember the girls . How old are they ? +Your cousin Fay is fifteen . Rosemary is older than Fay . She's seventeen . +Are they going to stay here with us ? +Of course . The girls can stay in your room with you . +Mother , may we have a party ? +If you like , but now we have to think about meals and many other things . +Prepare the list , Mother . I can go shopping . I can go to the small stores.Everyone knows me there . +What's your little caper ? Come home so late ! We are all worried about you . +Oh , I am terribly sorry . But I was so captivated with the singer at the subway exit . So I forgot the time . +Singing ? At the subway exit ? Oh , it sounds like someone needs some money . +Oh , no , the guy was a musician who just sang . He played the guitar and sang so many cool pop songs . Many people were drawn to his music and there was no hat on the floor . He sang for appreciation , but not for money . +It is just pop song , you could have sung there too if you want it . +Oh , no , it was a kind of pop art . I like it but I couldn't do it that well . +Honey , just do it next time . Have you heard of the real art in the subway station in Russia ? +No , but tell me some . I am interested . +Many oil painting exhibitions are there . That is a kind of Museum Exhibition . +Are there many people there ? Do you think people actually like them ? +I am sure you will . There are some works , and some students who major in painting interpret the meaning for visitors . And people can enjoy the paintings while waiting for the train . +But I still prefer the pop music in the subway . +Both the pop music and the oil painting ate arts , but with different aesthetic values . +Dad , you talk well , but can you appreciate that kind of art ? +Not well enough , but I'm learning . +It's wonderful to be in the mountains after a hustle bustle week . +Indeed . I love the smell of the grass and trees . They certainly refresh my mind . +Can we stop here for a while ? My backpack is very heavy . +Sure . Did you hear anything ? Look ! An eagle is hovering in the sky . +Let me see . It's not an eagle . I think it's a vulture . +Yes . Will it hurt us ? +I don't think so . Let's walk by the stream . I am sure we can find the waterfall on the map . +OK . I have a good pair of hiking boots . It should not be a big problem . +I also brought a bottle of water and some provisions . If you are hungry , you can let me know . +You are kind . Look there is a big tree over there , it looks like a thousand-year-old tree . +Well , it is a birch tree.It is not as old as you think . +How do you know ? +Because its trunk is not thick enough to be like a thousand-year-old tree . +Can we talk ? +Sure , honey , we ’ re talking now , aren ’ t we ? +You know what I mean . +Yeah . I know . +I want to know where this relationship is going . I ’ m in love with you and I need to know ... +You know , I think you ’ re awesome . +I ’ m awesome . Well , I guess that ’ s my answer , isn ’ t it . +Honey ... +Look , if you don ’ t love me , it ’ s not a thing , alright , we ’ Ve had our laughs , but I don ’ t appreciate ... maybe it ’ s just time we ... +Baby , I love you so much . +You do ? +I love you . And I think you ’ re awesome . +Oh , I love you too ! +Come on . Put the gun down . +Oh baby , I ’ m so sorry . +Would you like to come over for dinner tonight ? +Sure , but I have to tell you that I've become a vegetarian . I don't eat any kind of meat . +When did you decide to become a vegetarian ? +I saw a program a few months ago about how animals are raised for human consumption . I haven't been able to eat a single piece of meat since . +That's great . Do you find that you eat a lot more fruit and vegetables now ? +Definitely . I've also been buying organic fruit and vegetables , which is more expensive , but much better for you because they don't have any pesticides on them . +You've really turned into a health nut , haven't you ? +I guess you could say that . Eating fruit and vegetables helps keep you healthy . I've lost 5 pounds and I feel great ! +How do you get enough protein in your diet ? +Well , I eat a lot more tofu , beans , nuts and some fish . +Well , don't worry about dinner . I'll only make vegetarian dishes for you . Do you like sushi ? +I prefer cooked fish to raw fish , but if you really like it , make it . +How about a spicy tofu and vegetable stir-fry ? +That sounds great . What time should I come over ? +Dinner will be ready at about 7:30 pm , so you can come over at 7 p . m . +Sounds good . See you there ! +How old is Keith ? +He ’ s 21 . how old is James ? +He ’ s a year older than Keith , but he looks younger . +How ’ s your father ? +He ’ s fine . He retired last week . It ’ s turning going in his life . Now he can relax and enjoy his retirement . +He can spend more time with his grandchildren . +Oh , I don ’ t think he wants to . He wants to travel to several different countries around the world . +So , he wants to have a more active retirement . Good idea ! +How do you want to spend your old age ? +In the same way , probably . +Is this seat taken ? +No . Please sit down . +Thanks . +Are you also going to Beijing ? +Yes , on a business trip . How about Yuu ? +I'm taking a vacation to visit a friend there . Have you ever been there before ? +Yes , I Went there once last summer . +Really ? What did you think ? +I think it is amazing . You can enjoy both the traditional Chinese culture as well as the vitality of a modern cosmopolitan city . The only thing I didn't enjoy was the subway . +Was it that crowded ? +Yes.These were always so many people.After taking the subway during the rush hour , you'll envy sardines in their cans . +Oh , maybe I can take the bus or even rent a car . +That's a good idea . Wish you a great vacation ! +Thank you very much ! +I love ice cream . +Really ? Me , too . What's your favorite flavor ? +I like both strawberry and coffee ice cream . +Chocolate is mine . +Would you like to go skiing with me ? I heard the new ski area is great . They have safe tracks , especially for the beginners and provide free training . I think it suits you best . +Sounds not bad ! You know , the only thing I worried about is the safety . I ’ m not an active exerciser and my muscle may be not strong enough for such an intense sport . +Well , Then you can go to the three-day-long training camp first . There ’ re some professional teachers and they can guide you to do certain necessary exercise . +I will think about it . +Come on ! It is really a fun game . +Do you like watching the Winter Olympic Games ? +Of course . It's the tradition game in winter , and with good reason . Don't you like watching it ? +Of course I do . I love it . All the games are exciting and the competitors are respectable . +That's true . For various reasons , it takes more to hold a fierce game for Winter Olympics than it does for Summer Olympics . You know , the low temperature may cause many problems . +Yeah . What's the difference between the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics ? +When the Olympic Games started in modern times , only summer events were included . When it grew popular , there came the Winter Olympic Games , which includes a variety of winter sports . +I see . Then , what's your favorite winter sport ? +Figure skating . In my eye , nothing beats it . +Then you must know Shen Due and Hao Hongbo . +Oh , I didn't expect you to know them . But yes , I love them not only because of many medals they've won , but also because of their spirits . +You should go to talk with May . She is a big fan of them too . +Sure . What about you ? What do you like about the Olympics ? +For me , the Olympics for the disabled always catches my heart . It makes me understand that perseverance makes the impossible possible . +Hey , young man , you are so deep today . +I always am . You just didn't notice . +It is difficult for old people to do away with old ideas . +So the reform cannot be carried out well . +Government is making efforts to change situation . +Easier said than done . +Does she make any sense to you ? +No . It's all Greek to me . +She's speaking French , not Greek . +I know that . I mean I couldn't understand her at all . +Me neither . All I have to do is study French hard . +I wish you the best of luck . +How are you going all these days ? +Fine , thanks . +But you look depressed . +I have some problem with my work . +Is it serious ? +I can solve it , thanks . +How about your family ? +Everything is Okay . And as soon as I see my son at home , all my worries vanish into the blue . +So what do you feel like doing this evening ? How about going to the cinema ? +Ah , that's a good idea . But I heard the film club of our school would show a film for free . Maybe we don't need to go to the cinema . +That's good ! I've also heard there will be a party held by the Students ' Union tomorrow evening . Would you like to go with me tomorrow night ? +I'd like to , but I'm afraid I can't . +Why ? Do you have to prepare for your examination ? Oh , come on , girl , relaxation is also very important . +That's not the reason . I have to go to the English Corner tomorrow evening . You know , I've been going there every week . +Oh , God , I've forgotten it . +You said you wanted to improve your English , so how about coming with me tomorrow ? I can also introduce some friends to you . +Oh , no , I don't want to know any more geeks like you . +They are not geeks . They are also interested in singing , dancing , and so on . They are excellent , and they can always help me a lot . +Really ? Is there a foreign teacher for every class ? +It depends . If they are not busy , they will come to join us , and talk with us . +So you just talk all the time ? +Of course not . The foreign teachers also teach us English songs , and play games with us . +That sounds interesting . I'll go with you tomorrow evening . +You won't be disappointed . +You ’ re going to set up your own law office , aren ’ t you ? +Yes . After so many years of hard work , I ’ d rather I had an office of my own . +If you need help , don ’ t hesitate to ask me . +I ’ ll be very glad if you would help . +I ’ d like to wish you every success in your new venture . +Thank you . I wish I would . +Good luck to you . +Wow , is that your sports car ? +Yes , do you like it ? +I love it ! I used to always want to drive a green jaguar . Is it in good condition ? +Yt looks good on the outside , but the inside is a different story . It needs a lot of servicing before it can go out on the roads again . +What's wrong with it ? +Well , first of all , it needs a new engine , which is extremely expensive . +When's the last time you had it serviced ? +It must have been a few years ago now . +I thought all cars needed regular servicing on a yearly basis . +They do . Once my son was born , there was no reason to drive this car anymore . It's only a two-seater , you know ! +What else is wrong with it ? +The heating controls don't work anymore , so it always feels like it's about 100 degrees in the car — even in the summer ! +Anything else ? +The brakes don't really work that well anymore either . +Why don't you get it all fixed ? +It costs more than you think to run a car---especially when there are so many things wrong with it ! +Well , let me know when you can get it fixed . I ’ d love to go for a ride in it ! +Can you play baseball with me today ? +No , I can't . I'm sorry . I have to help my mother . We're going to move tomorrow . +Where's the new house ? Is it far from here ? +No , it's not far . It's near our old house . +Can I help you pack ? +Sure . Thanks . +I think I need a new notebook . +Why ? Is there some new , cool computer out on the market ? +You bet there is . Feast your eyes on this puppy ! +That's a notebook ? +Believe it ! +It looks more like a toy , or a cool briefcase ! +Dalian is a beautiful city . Do you agree ? +I suppose I do . +The climate here is pleasant . +You said it . +This city is really comfortable to live in . +It sure is . +No other city can match it . It's heaven . +Well , if you live in other cities as long as enough , you will love them just as much . +Maybe . +That's for sure . +Ah , Michelle , hi . I was hoping to see you . How have you been ? How's the family ? +Oh , hello , Mr . Campbell . I'm fine and Jack's doing well . How are you ? +I'm fine thanks . I got your report this morning . Thank's for that . Are you joining the conference today ? +Yes , I'm leaving at four pm . +Good , well we can discuss this more then , but I think the figures are looking very good for this quarter . +Yes , me too . +I'm planning to discuss the advertising budget at the conference . I don't think we should continue with the TV advertising . +Have you read all these crazy things that are going on around the world ? +What do you mean ? +I was reading about how some people get tricked or drugged in their hotel rooms and have their organs removed ! Then they are sold on the black market . +Don't tell me you actually believe all that ? Don't be so gullible , they are just urban legends . They are just stories people make up to scare you . +Well , I was also reading about how some popular songs have subliminal or even satanic messages if you play them backwards ! Can you believe that ? +You really think an artist or song writer is going to go through the trouble of putting subliminal or satanic messages in a song ? Don't be so naive ! +Well maybe you are right , but how about the story of how KFC has rows of headless chickens which are super grown in order to get bigger chickens faster ! +Sounds a bit too far fetched to be true , don't you think ? +Hi Bob , this is my friend Mary . +I am very pleased to meet you . +Bob is in advertising . +That sounds an interesting job , Bob . +Wow ! I can ’ t believe I ’ m standing here ! +What are you so excited about ? +I ’ m standing in front of an exquisite work of art ! +What ’ s the big deal ? It ’ s just a picture of some woman . +I ’ Ve seen it so many times in books , but I never imagined I ’ d get to see it in person . +There are tons of other paintings that I think are better . +Maybe so , but do you have any idea how much this one is worth ? +No , how much is it worth ? +About 80 million dollars . +Whoa . +Lady , you look unhappy . What ’ s the beef ? +A man stepped on my feet when I was waiting for the taxi . +When were you Bron may I ask ? +On 20th May 1963 . +Do you know what it was according to the lunar calendar ? +27th day of the fourth month . +By the way , could you tell me when the film will begin ? +It will begin at 5 thirty . +I am frigid I can't be there on time . +You can see it tomorrow . +I don't want to miss it today . +See you . +See you . +Did you see the 2005 Grammy Awards on TV last night . +Yeah . I was so happy , because my favorite singer , Ricky Martin won ' Best Latin Pop Performance ' . +He seems to win awards everywhere . +He is really great . He has sold millions of records worldwide . He is especially known for his rocking performance at the football World Cup song-the Cup of World . +I heard one observer even said ' It was a song sung in Spanish for international football , and he made it so popular that even the Americans loved it . ' +That's right . His voice ranges from the smooth sound of ballads to the highpowered rhythms of the Spanish Caribbean where he grew up . He has fan clubs across the world , from America to Russia , from England to Taiwan , from Norway to Australia . +Ben cancelled his trip . +How come ? +Because General , his dog , got sick . +He's such a mother hen . +Hi Jane , you look great . +You too . Have you lost some weight ? +Yes , I took off 4 kilos . I am glad you notice it . +Not some crazy diet fat I hope . +No no , I just changed my eating habits . I eat a balance meal . and I eat less than before . +Good for you , keep it up . +It may comfort you to know that many people attended his viewing . +How did they hear ? No one called . +In times of loss , it is often hard to pick up the phone . But his whole family was here . +His mom and dad must be destroyed . He was their only son . +And he was so young , with so much life to look forward to . +Yes ... thank you for understanding . We have to go now . +This sheet tells the visiting hours and funeral time and location . +OK . Steven , you're looking at a picture . Please describe what you see ! +Uh , I can see a red double decker bus . It's the kind of bus you'll see very often in London . In fact I know this bus is from London because I can see the names , Chelsea , Sloan Square , Victoria , Herring Cross . These are all areas in London . Um , so obviously the bus is in London . +OK . Have you ever been on a double decker bus ? +Yeah , yeah , yeah . many times . Many times . When I was younger , you used to get double-decker all over England but now you only tend to see them in the big cities . +Oh , really . Mm ! How much is the fare ? +Well , it depends on the journey . It's .. I guess it's not too expensive , but the minimum price you would pay is , for a short journey , is about a pound . +Mm , yeah , who can you see on the bus ? Can you pick out anyone on the bus who looks interesting ? +Hmm , yeah , well this girl here at the back , that's leaning on the door , um , she looks really bored , actually . Maybe she is going to work or something and she doesn't want to go ! +Is that how you feel on the bus ? +Uh , well , no , not really , because I haven't worked in England for a long time , so I haven't taken a bus for a long time . +So , so you're British , do you missing them ? +Um , yes , sometimes . Sometimes . +Is the view going to be ok ? +Don ’ t worry , you did a good job and it should be fine . +I ’ ll do my best . +That ’ s the way to go . +I got a promotion . Lunch is on me . +It ’ s great . +You can keep these books for only half a month . +May I renew them if I haven't finished reading them ? +Of course , you can . +Bob , you look pale . What happened ? +I didn't sleep a wink last night . +Did you have something on your mind ? You look so concerned ! Maybe I can help you . +Well , I'm under a lot of pressure . My boss is very pushy . He assigned me two projects . Now the deadlines are near and I still haven't finish one of them . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Well , I guess no one can help me but myself . For the moment , I just need someone to talk to so that I can relieve my stress . +I know your feeling . Take it easy . +Which team won ? +The Spur . +What was the score ? +They managed a 99:80 victory . +You know ... I did very poorly on that test . +Cheer up ! It's not the only chance in life to do well on a test . There'll be many more . +Well , you know how I am about exams . I'm a perfectionist . +Don't worry about it . All in all , you've done very well in school . +What happened to Nancy ? She is all sweetness and light today . +She is going to get married . +No wonder ! Who is the bridegroom ? +I don ’ t know . +I think Bill Clinton is a good president . +But he has the sex scandal . +Well . Maybe he isn't a good husband , but he is a successful president . +I agree . He is also an excellent speaker . +Yes , he is . Of course he makes mistakes , but who doesn ’ t . +yeah , it ’ s fair to say so . +What good sunshine ! Let's go and get a suntan on the balcony . +I've had enough of it while working under the sun in the day . I don't need any more sun-tan . +It's different in my case . I work in the office , so only rarely do I get the chance to get any sun . +It might be good to you . But please keep in mind that too much tanning damages the skin rather than does any good to you . You might end up with skin cancer . +Would you like to stretch your legs ? +Why not ? +Let's get a soft drink . +Do we have enough time ? +Yes , we do . +The performance is excellent . +It's a new concert hall and the acoustics are great . +I couldn't agree more . +Is this your first time to come to a symphony concert ? +Yes , it is . +Do you have concert halls in your city ? +Yes , but it's much smaller . +Well , we'd better get back to our seats . It's about to start . +OK . +Wake up sleepyhead.The sun is beginning to shine . What a lovely summer day ! +Yeah , clearly blue sky.But it is a bit too hot for me . I don't like heat and humidity . +It's not that hot . It's cooler than yesterday . Let's go swimming ! +That's a thought . It's still early , and the beach isn't crowded at this time of the day . If we don't stay too long , we won't get sunburned . +Yeah , sounds like fun . I can wear my new pink bikini . +There won't be anyone there to appreciate how cute you are . +Who cares ! Well , the smart guys get there early . That's the kind of guy I want to meet . Let's go ! +If you are going to husband hunting in a bikini , then I want to wear one , too . +Ok , you could borrow one of mine . +Thanks , how about the green and black one ? +No problem . Here it is . +It's a beautiful day , isn't it ? +Yes , isn't it . +Do you now the temperature today ? +It's beautiful 75 degrees . +How nice . I hope the weather will stay like this for the whole week . I'm going on the canoe trip this weekend . +Not a good plan . The TV weather forecast says the hurricane is coming this weekend , and the temperature will also drop to 66 degrees . +What a nuisance ! Every time I plan to go canoeing or camping , a storm comes along . The sky gets dark , the wind starts to howl and the temperature drops.Well , I'd better stay home . +I never make any definite weekend plan until Friday morning . Then after listening to the weather temperature , I make my plans . +That's smart . I'm going to start doing the same thing . +are you ready to go the concert ? +yes . Should we go there by bus so we aren't late ? +actually , why don't we go there by bike ? We could get stuck in traffic if we travel by bus in such hour . +that's true . Cycling is good for our environment , too . Let me just get my helmet then . +is your helmet comfortable ? +not really , but I liked the design , so I got it . +maybe you should think about getting a round helmet ; they're better . +I'll think about it . +is that your new bicycle ? +yes , my father gave it to me for my birthday . Do you like it ? +it's the newest 10 speed cycling mountain bike . These are really expensive ! +nothing but the best from my dad . I like everything about it except for the brakes . They are a bit sticky . +I can fix those for you . Is there anything else wrong with it ? +well , my saddle is too low for me . Do you know how to change the height ? +that's easy . It's important to have the saddle high enough so that your legs can extend fully when you are on your bicycle . +is that why my knees have felt sore after every time I've ridden my bike ? +it's possible . Give me a minute and I can fix these for you and then we can go . +Next please ! Hello sir , may I see your passport please ? +Yes , here you go . +Will you be checking any bags today . +Yes , I ’ d like to check three pieces . +I ’ m sorry , sir . Airline policy allows only two pieces of checked luggage , at twenty kilograms each , plus one piece of carry-on luggage . I will have to charge you extra for the additional suitcase . +What ? Why ! I am taking an intercontinental flight ! I ’ m flying sixteen thousand CMS ! How am I supposed to only take two , twenty kilo bags ? That ’ s absurd ! +I am sorry , sir , there ’ s nothing I can do . You cannot board the flight with that large bag either.Carry - on bags must fit in the over-head compartment or under your seat . That bag is clearly too big . +Now I see . You charge next to nothing for an international ticket , but when it comes to charging for any other small thing , you charge an arm and a leg ! So tell me , miss , how much will I have to pay for all of this . +Let ’ s see ... six hundred and twenty-five US dollars . +That ’ s more than my round-trip ticket ! +Do you feel like going to see a movie tonight ? +I'd like that very much . +How does 7:30 sound ? +Fine . See you later . +How are you ? +Fine . +I haven ’ t seen you for several days . +Oh , I have been with my uncle for a week . +What ’ s he doing ? +He is an accountant . I have been helping him for a week . +He must be happy . +Yeah . How are you these days ? +Fine too . +So what kind of music turns you on ? +Rock ' n'Roll , I guess . +You mean the kind of stuff like Nirvana ? +Not really . That ’ s pretty heavy metal . +Dick , I ’ Ve decided not to rent that house . +But yesterday you said you would rent it . +I ’ Ve changed my mind . +Why is that ? +Well , I think maybe I should find a house that is closer to where I work . +Maybe you ’ re right . +Hi ! How are you going ? +Fine , thank you.How are you doing this morning ? +Not bad.How about you ? Haven't seen you for a long time . +Yes . I've been to New York . I got back only yesterday . +Did you enjoy yourself ? +Very much.New York is such a nice place.Shall I show you some photographs ? +Thanks , I like looking at photographs.How nice ! Oh , I'm afraid I must be going now . I've got an appointment . Have a good day . +You too . I hope to see you soon.Goodbye . +Goodbye . +You ready ? +Am I ready for what ? +Are you ready to transfer to a new school tomorrow ? +Oh . Yes , I ’ m ready to transfer . +You ’ re not nervous , are you ? +I ’ m very nervous . +Why are you nervous ? +I ’ m not going to know anybody there . +That ’ s not a problem . +That makes me nervous . +It ’ s fun meeting new people . +I didn ’ t think about it that way . +Did you see Victor on Wednesday , Wendy ? +Yes . We went for a walk in the woods near the highway . +Wasn ’ t it cold on Wednesday ? +Yes . It was very cold and windy . We wore heavy wool sweaters and walked quickly to keep warm . +It ’ s so nice and quiet in the woods . +Yes . Farther away from the highway it was very quiet and there were birds and squirrels everywhere . We counted over twenty squirrels . +It sounds wonderful . Did you take lunch with you ? +Yes , we bought veal sandwiches . We stopped around twelve , and we ate and watched the squirrels , but it was too windy to sit long . It was a very nice walk , anyway . +Wow ! That ’ s a pretty dress , but it ’ s too expensive . +Yeah , it is ! Why is it so expensive ? +It ’ s because of good quality and the fine design . +I don ’ t think it ’ s worth that money . +Anyhow , this dress is really elegant . +How is your business going ? +Business couldn't be better . +Really ? Maybe I should work for you . +Welcome . I could use the help . +Hey , what's the matter ? +It doesn't matter . I just feel a little dizzy . +Are you sure that this has nothing to do with sleep ? +I don't know . +I've been told that you are a very successful businessman abroad . I wonder how you managed to achieve such success ? +Oh , through a lot of hard work , of course . +I suppose that in a foreign country it was difficult at first , wasn't it ? +Surely it was , especially when you only knew few people and little English . +You mean you didn ’ t know much English then ? +Right . I only knew a few English sentences . +That's incredible . Could you tell me what you did to make a start ? +First , I worked as a servant . +Really ? I wish you could tell me more about your experience . +I'd like to , but I must run to a meeting . +What's the news on our website ?

The technology age has arrived ! +What do you know about Julia Roberts ? +Her acting is OK . +I mean her personality . +I'm afraid I know less than you do.Tell me more about her , will you ? +I've never seen a machine like this before and need some help . +Sure , no problem . What are you trying to get ? +I want to buy a drink . +OK . This machine needs you to use that change machine first to get correct change . +I've got the correct change already . +First you put your money in the dollar slot or the coin slot . The dollars have to be smooth . +OK , what next ? +Just know that sometimes the money doesn't go in perfectly the first time and you have to try again . +OK , next ? +Choose what you want and push the button . Sometimes it takes a couple of tries . +I agree with you . +Hope that works for you ! +Honey , wait ! I've sprained my ankle . +Oh , my god , are you OK ? +Of course not ! +Come on , sit down , and let me have a look . +The pain is killing me . +I told you to wear running shoes . But you don't listen . +I thought leather shoes will do just as well . +Hold on , don't move , I will take care of that . +What are you going to do ? +I will get some ice , and put it on your ankle.How does that feel ? +God ! It's freezing ! +Be brave . Don't worry . You will be able to walk soon . +So Chris , I've heard that you're from a big family . How many people ? +Nine total . Seven children and my parents . +Seven children ? That's a lot . Why did your parents have so many ? +Well , my mother came from a big family , and wanted to have one of her own . My father was an only child , and didn't really care about having a large family , but my mother talked him into it . +Jeez , seven children . That must have a lot of problems . We have four children in my family and my grandparents can never get our names right . +It can be hard , and there are certain sacrifices you have to make . +Like what ? I assume that there's no privacy . +That's one . Another is the lack of personal property . Everything you have , from toys to clothes , is used by your brothers and sisters . Especially clothes . Three quarters of my wardrobe are hand-me-downs . +And the age gap is also annoying . There's a ten-year difference between my younger brother and me . We have nothing in common . +Same problem here . There's an 18 - year gap between the oldest and youngest child in my family . The last child was born just as the oldest was going to college . +Well , at least going to college won't be too bad . Since both of your parents are college professors , they must give you reduced tuition at the college . +They do , but it doesn't help too much . Having seven children means that the money situation in my home is always pretty tight . +That was a nice funeral . +Yes , dad , it was . +The son gave a nice speech about his father . +It was long , too . +I think it was about 45 minutes long . +But it went by fast . It was interesting . +I liked it . +I'll give you a speech like that , too . +Do you think anyone will come to my funeral ? +Of course . +I think only the family will be there . +You have lots of friends . They will be there , too ! +Hello ? +Hi , Randy . What are you doing right now ? +Nothing . Just watching TV . +I ’ Ve got two tickets for a newly released film . Would you like to see it with me ? +Sure . What time ? +The film will start at 2 +Sounds good . Where and when will we meet ? +In my parking lot , at 2pm . +All right . See you then . +How do you think TaiWan's economy is doing ? +Not too good actually , people are not spending as much as before ! +Do you know why that is ? +Lots of reasons I guess , unemployment is pretty high these days . +Does your child still believe in Santa Claus ? +Yes . She believes everything about him . +How sweet . +Yes . If she doesn't believe it , Christmas won't be so exciting to her . +When are you going to tell her that Santa Claus doesn't exist ? +I'm not going to tell her . She will find out and understand when she grows older . +I am kind of nervous . +Nervous ? Why ? +I don't know . I never went to a church before . I was not raised as a Christian , so I don't know what to do . +Don't worry . You don't have to do anything.All you have to do is listen . You will enjoy it . +Maybe . I know I agreed to go with you , but now I don't feel right about it . +Listen , Ryan.Catholics welcome people who aren't Catholics to visit the church.You don't have to pretend to be Catholic . It's okay if you just come to listen . +Really ? +Yes . We are kind and welcoming people.It is not a secret society or something like that . +Alright . But will we sing ? +Yes , but you don't even have to sing . If you want to sing along , you can . +I don't know the words . +There is a songbook . All the words are in the songbook.Many people have to read the words . +And will I go up to the front to have the bread and wine ? +No . That is something only true Catholics do.So if you come to the church as a visitor , you only listen to the service.But you shouldn't go up to the altar for the bread and wine.Only after someone joins the church , then they go up for the Eucharist . +Eu-char-ist ? What is that ? +That is the special word for the ritual of the bread and wine.The Catholics call it the Eucharist . +It doesn't sound like an English word . +It's not . It's an ancient Greek word . It means gratitude . +Alright . Well , I feel more comfortable now.Now I understand I am welcome as a visitor . +Of course you are . I wouldn't ask you otherwise . +Hey Jack . How were your classes this semester ? +They were not too bad . I really liked my poli-sci class . +Would you consider it your favorite class ? +I don't know if I would call it my favorite , but it ranks up there . +What class was your favorite then ? +I took a business communication class last year and it was terrific . +I never took that yet . If that was your favorite , I think I will check it out . +What are you reading ? +It ’ s an article about language . It talks about the idea of having a single global language . +It seems that English already is the main global language . Does the article suggest that there should be an artificial language like Esperanto as the world language . +Actually , it suggest English . The main argument is that English is already being studied as a second language in most countries-china , India , mexico , Nigeria , Pakistan , and japan . So beginning again with a language like Esperanto would be wasteful . The second argument is that English is used in modern technology far more that any other language . Most emails are sent in English and the vast majority of website use English . +Does the article say anything about other language ? How will they survive in an English-speaking world ? +The article points out that many languages have been lost and will be lost , but others will continue to be used for generation , even if English continues to be the dominant language . +Right . All the people who speak Chinese . Hindi , French and Spanish aren ’ t suddenly going to stop using those languages . +Exactly . The article suggests that those languages will be used , but that they will only rarely be used in international communication between non-native speakers . +In that case , I shall continue to learning a few basic phrases in other languages . +Are you have a hand in locking into the case ? +Yes . +How do you feel about it ? +It is really a hard nut to crack . The problem is that the crime was done without leaving any trace . +Ahh ... What a fine day ! I do feel like an outdoor exercise . +How about taking a walk in the park ? +OK.It ' s delightful to have a walk in the park with the air so fresh . +Oh , it's so quiet here.We have the park to ourselves , only you and me ! +Don't you see many people over there ? Just on your left . +Oh , I see them.Some are doing Taijiquan , some are performing swordplay , some are practising the Chinese Wushu . +A growing keep-fit fever is sweeping over China . +Another glass of beer , will you ? +Thanks , I'm enough . +At least one for your trip . +I'll have it if you insist . +Have you seen that house ? +Yes , it looks interesting . +You're right . I love it very much . +It must be old . +At least more than 100 years old . +Let's enter it ! +I can't open the door . +It must be locked . +Let me ask the old woman in that reception office . +She can't answer you . +She must be deaf . +It must be a haunted house.Are you frightened ? +Frightened ? You must be joking . +Good morning . Phyllis Seymour speaking . +Hi , Ms . Seymour ? It ’ s Allan Parker . I ’ Ve been waiting to call you and thank you for all your help last week . +Thank you very much , Mr . Parker . But , that is my job . +Well , I want to let your boss know that she ’ d better hold on to you ! You ’ re a hard worker ! +It's raining outside , Catherine , it's too bad.What ' s the weather like in your hometown ? +It's very hot , the temperature is often over 40 ° C . +Do you like the weather in Seattle ? +Not really.But I like it in spring and fall . I don't like it in winter . +Why ? +The winter is very rainy , I don't like the rainy day . +What about the weather in Boston ? +I lived there for three years . I like summer but I don't like winter . +Is it very cold in winter ? +Yes , it is.But it's nice in spring and fall . +Wei , you look really tired . +Yes , I didn ’ t finish work until 9:00 pm . +9:00 ! +Yes , I have too much work to do at the moment . +Why ’ s that ? +Because too many people in the office are on holiday . +I've heard you're going to America tomorrow . I want to see you off at the airport . +Oh , thanks a lot . +What time are you leaving ? +1:30 P . m . But I've got to check in at 12:30 P . m . +What airline and what flight ? +Pan American Airlines . Flight 282 . +I'll see you at the airport at 12:30 P . m . +Ok . See you tomorrow . +He was hauled up last week for the second time . +You mean he had been put in prison before . +Of course , he is a man with a history . +Oh , he had fooled me . +Hello . Can I sit here ? +Yes . +By the way , I'm Robin . +Hi . My name is Jessica . +Nice to meet you . +Pleased to meet you too . And where are you from , Robin ? +I'm from Kathmandu . What about you ? +I'm from New York . Oh , this is my stop . Bye , Robin . +Bye . See you . +Well , I've never downloaded music before . How does it work ? +You haven't ? If you've never tried it I can show you how . +Alright . But why is downloading music better than buying Cds at the store ? +Downloading music is really fast and convenient , and you can preview all the songs before you buy them . +Hi ! How are you doing ? +Good , thanks . How about you ? +Pretty good . Say , where are you living this semester ? +In No . 4 Dorm . I like dorm life . You will meet a lot of people and you don't have to cook . What about you ? +Oh , I am looking for an apartment . I prefer living off campus . I can study better . +I hope you will find a place . Listen , I'd better go . I am going to be late for class . +Okay , see you around . +Take care . +I think modern painting means nothing . +I think so too . It's just pointless . +Then why are so many crazy about it +I don't know.Maybe they are really crazy . +Maybe . +I heard you are going to move . +Yes , I found a better house near my office . I ’ m very satisfied with it . But I ’ m worrying . +What are you worried about ? +I ’ m worrying about how to move all of my household stuff . You know , I have a lot of stuff . +You can call a mover . +How much dose that cost ? +Around 200 RIB for a truck . +I think it ’ s a little expensive . +But think about it , you just need to pack your stuff and leave everything for the movers , how much trouble you will save . +That ’ s right . +I know a mover which has a very good reputation for their service . I ’ ll leave you their phone number . +Wonderful . +It ’ s 8357688 8 . +Okay , thanks a lot . You did me a great favor just now . +You ’ re welcome . +I saw your car outside , so I stooped by . +Yeah , I come here every now and then . +I just meant that she's got different taste . +What kind of girl is she ? +She's pretty conservative . +Is her fiance Taiwanese ? +Yes . +How old is he ? +About 30 . He's really outgoing . But why do you ask ? +How have you been ? +Fine , thank you . +And how's everyone in your family ? +Very well , thank you . I'm meeting my wife and daughter for lunch at twelve.Would you care to join us ? +I'd love to , but I'm afraid I can't . +That girl looks very attractive , doesn ’ t she ? +Do you think so ? I don ’ t like girls who look like that . I like girls who aren ’ t too slim . If you like her , go and talk to her . +I ’ d like to , but there ’ s her boyfriend . He ’ s very broad-shouldered . +He ’ s huge ! He must go to the gym to have a well-built body like that . +Do you prefer tall girls or short ones ? +I don ’ t mind , but I like girls with long hair . +We have different tastes . I like girls with short hair . I like tall girls - probably because I ’ m so tall myself . +Have you ever dated a girl taller than you ? +No , never . I don ’ t think I ’ Ve ever met a girl taller than me ! Have you gained weight recently ? +Yes , I have . Perhaps I should go to the gym , like that girl ’ s boyfriend . +I'm getting a bit plump myself . Perhaps I ’ ll go with you . +Good morning , Linda . How have you been ? +Pretty bad . I ’ Ve had a bad cold for three days and still can ’ t get rid of it . +I ’ m sorry to hear that . Is there anything else I can do ? +No , thanks . +Well , I hope you ’ ll feel better soon . +Thank you for your concern . +Do you have a copy of our service contract with Telecoms ? I'm not happy with their response time and I'd like to check the terms and conditions of the contract . +Sure . I've got a copy here . It's due for renewal at the end of next month . We've still got time to look for another supplier if you're not happy . +Um , which of them is the better typist ? +Well , Mary types faster than Jones . But I think Jones types more carefully . +Is there any difference in their short hand ? +Jones can certainly take down letter more quickly , but Mary ’ s short hand is the best in her class . +How about languages ? +Both of them speak excellent French . But I think Mary speaks German more fluently than Jones does . +Um . That doesn ’ t really matter . Because we have more French visitors than German . +Today is your birthday . First of all , happy birthday to you ! +Thank you for coming . We will have dinner outside . Eat up ! +Excuse me . Is anyone sitting here ? +No , nobody . +You don ’ t mind if I smoke , do you ? +Well , to be frank , yes , I do . +Oh , I ’ m sorry . But this isn ’ t a no-smoker , isn ’ t it ? I mean would you mind if I smoke here ? +Actually it is . Perhaps you haven ’ t noticed the sign . +Sign ? What ’ s sign ? +There , on the window . +Oh , sorry . I didn ’ t notice it . Sorry . +That ’ s all right . +I don't know whether or not to believe him . +You can trust him . He always tells the truth . +But it's really too important to me . +I said you can trust him . You just have to believe it . +I feel pity for the old man . +I feel the same way . +It must be dreadful to grow old . +It sure is.He has no one to turn to , very miserable indeed . +Excuse me , sir . Could you spare a minute ? +Uh , yes . +Do you go to work by train every day . +Yes . I commute five days a week by train . +And would you mind telling us what you think of the rail service ? +It ’ s really very good . +Why do you say that ? +Well , trains are frequent and come on time . +Which train do you catch in the evening ? +I usually take the five thirty home . +And can you get a seat ? +No , I usually have to stand . +Would you agree that the service is fast ? +Yes , it ’ s reasonably fast but it certainly isn ’ t cheap . Fares have gone up 25 present . +So , how'd everyone do ? +Well , there's this clock I was ... MY vintage clock ! How do you have my clock ? ? +Your vintage clock ? ! I just paid sixty-five dollars for it . +Sixty-five ? What the ... ? How did you bargain him down , Wei ? You've never even been to a flea market before ! +It must be my special touch . I think bargaining is in my blood ! +Never underestimate a woman when it comes to bargaining ! +You are studying here , aren ’ t you ? +Yes . I have been here for three years . +Do you like this campus ? +Well . I ’ m rather disappointed with it . +How come ? +It ’ s too old . And it isn ’ t as specious as I expected . +Oh . It ’ s awful , but it can ’ t be helped . +I ’ ll just have to put up with it . +Would you mind if I smoked ? +I'd rather you didn't . +How do you feel about the TV series ? +Oh , to be frank , I think it's sheer waste of time to watch it . +Yes , I agree , but still a lot of people watch it . +But I don't think much of it . +I've brought some potato chips . Would you like some , Jack ? +Yes . I'd like to swap some of my peanuts for your chips . +That'll be fine . Thanks . +Do you have any ketchup ? +I forgot to bring it , but maybe Mary has some . Let's go and ask her . +Harry is a hen-pecked husband . +No , he isn ’ t . +Then why does he let himself be lead by the nose ? +He is afraid of his father-in-law . +Have you ever found yourself in a situation when you have to lie to people who trust you ? +Do you mean lying to people for their good ? +Yes . Is it wrong to lie to them even if it is for their good ? +It's hard to say . I mean , how can you judge what's good for them ? Maybe it is best to tell them the truth no matter what it is . +But sometimes it is so hard to tell the truth . +I know . If you're sure the truth will do harm , maybe you can choose not to tell it . +Hi , Julie . I was in your neighborhood and I'd like to drop by . +Come on in . Would you care for a drink ? +That sounds refreshing . Thanks ! +May , is the university a terrible place ? +Surely not . Life in the university is fun . Why did you ask ? +Because you study day in and day out for the entrance exam . So I figure you would study even harder after you ’ Ve got in . +Studying in the university is not easy , but it's not as arduous as you think . +How do you know that ? You haven't got in yet . +Of course I know . I once attended Lisa's class , sitting quietly at the back of the classroom . +Oh , really ? Were you not caught ? +Of course not . You are allowed to attend any lecture , only if there are empty seats for you and you don't disturb the class . In universities , you study in a free and creative environment . +What do you want to study in the university ? Have you thought about it ? +This question has really been bothering me . I like Chinese literature , you know . But economics is really hot now , and it has a very good career prospect . +I will choose what I like . You don't know what a torture it is for me to study English , because I don't like English . +Though I like Chinese literature very much , I'm also interested in economics . It's a tough choice to make . +You can decide later . You will have choices before you submit your university application form . +Right . I have lots of time to think carefully before I make my final decision . +Who is your favorite NBA star ? +Kobe Bryant , of course . +Kobe ? I know him , the key guy of the Lakers , a heck of a NBA player . He is on fire when he breaks through enemy defense . +He is competent both in driving the lane and shooting jumpers , but what really makes him formidable is his ability to switch up and dribble with his left hand . +Maybe he is not good at rebounding ? +Indeed , no man can be perfect . He is just so-so in crashing the boards . Usually he plays shooting guard . Rebounding might not be his strong suit . +Kobe came to Beijing during this summer's Olympics . Did you go to the match between China and USA ? +Who wouldn't ! My friend Lee went so far as to get an autograph from him . +Well then , what are your spoils ? +Well , nothing more than a jumble of photographs . +May I help you ? +I would like to find this book . +Is there a problem ? +I don ’ t think you guys have it . +You should look it up on our computer . +I did that . +What came up ? +It should be on the shelf , but I didn ’ t see it . +I can try to get the book from a different library . +I didn ’ t know you could do that . +I will call you when I find it . +I appreciate your help . +What happened ? +It was just a misunderstanding . +I hear little Bob has recovered . +That's a great relief . I was worried about him . +The operation was very successful . +His parents must feel very happy . +Are you in favor of having a trip during the spring break ? +This is just what I have in mind.Where are you planning to go ? +How about the Yellow Mountains ? +Good idea ! +Did you go to the movie yesterday ? +Yes , I did . +What did you think of it ? +I don't think much of the film . +I think it is the worst one I have ever seen . +Oh , I'm not sure I agree with you . It was not a good one , but it was not the worst one . Actually , it wasn't too bad . +I can't think the same . +What's more , some scenes were good , much fit for the children . +I couldn't agree with you . +Thanks for offering to give me a lift . I ’ m looking forward to this party , but I didn ’ t want to go alone . +Don ’ t mention it . It ’ s my pleasure . Have you been to one of these large , sit-down dinner parties since you got to New Haven ? +No , this is my first.Last week I went to a cookout for new professors at Dean Barksdale ’ s home . I took a taxi because I didn ’ t want to be late.But I was the first one +Cookouts often start slowly . A two o ’ clock start means you arrive any time after two . +Thanks for telling me this . +I was late getting back from the mall , but I ’ m hurrying . +Why are you in such a hurry ? They said , Dinner at eight , and it ’ s only seven-fifteen . I don ’ t want to be the first one there again . +Don ’ t worry . We won ’ t be the first . +How did you do in the last quiz ? +I doubt if I can pass it . +Don't be so worried , You know Professor Robert is not too strict . +But I often skip his classes , and he doesn't like me . +I hope you'll do better in the final . +I must , if I want to pass the course . +I am so bored all day . +Why ? +Jack borrowed a large sum of money from me and didn ’ t pay me back . +Don ’ t make a mountain out of molehill . I am sure he will do that on his payday . +Mike has changed much after marriage . +Yeah . He ’ s almost become a slave , his wife is leading him by the nose . +It ’ s unbelievable . He used to be such a rough guy . +Say , Anna , what are you doing tonight ? Would you like to go out ? +Oh , sorry , I can't . I'm going to work late tonight . I have to finish this report . +Well , how about tomorrow night ? Are you doing anything then ? +No , I'm not . What are you planning to do ? +I'm going to see a musical . Would you like to come ? +Sure , I'd love to ! But let me pay for the tickets this time . It's my turn . +All right ! Thanks ! +Sorry , I overslept . My alarm clock didn't go off this morning . +Again ? +That's right , even though I did set the alarm last night . +Your clock never works . Perhaps you should buy a new one . +Well . If it breaks down again tomorrow , I'll definitely buy a new one . +Maybe by then it will be too late . +What do you mean too late ? +By that time , you will be fired . +Do you often go to watch sports games ? +I go occasionally when there's a game on near home , but usually I watch it on TV . +Can you recall the games ? +Sometimes . But I'll never forget the game in which our Chinese Women's Volleyball Team won the World Cup . It is the most thrilling and exciting game I have ever seen . +How do you like your work ? +The work is rather hard , but it's interesting . +What do you do ? +I work in a publishing house . How about you ? +Mine isn't hard , but it's not interesting . +What do you do then ? +I'm a clerk in a shop . +May I help you ? +I can ’ t find the book I want . +Why don ’ t you try looking at the database ? +I checked it already . +Do we have it available ? +It wasn ’ t there . +I guess it is lost . +Will you be getting another copy ? +Yes , we will . +Could you reserve a copy for me ? +I can do that . +That ’ s great . Thanks a lot . +Can you help me figure out how to use this vending machine ? +Yes , I would be happy to help . What do you want to buy ? +I want to buy that candy . +OK . So this machine will make change if you need it . Do you have your dollars ready ? +Yeah , so far , so good . +Next , you feed your dollars into the machine in the slot . Make sure they are smooth . +Yeah , I already knew that . +I'm sure you know that if the dollar gets stuck , you might have to re-feed it . +OK , let's move on ! +Now you just make your selection and pray . If nothing comes out , try again or call the number on the side of the machine . +I hope it works ! +Well , good luck ! +What was your wedding ceremony like , Abigail ? +My husband and I got married in a registry office with just two friends there as witnesses . But then we had three parties to celebrate . +Three parties ? That's quite a lot . That must have been expensive ! +Well , since my husband and I are from two different countries , and we live in a third country , we decided to have one in each country . It wasn't actually that expensive . +Were your parents upset that they weren't there to see you get married ? +I would have liked them to be there , but they couldn ’ t afford to fly out to see us , and we couldn't afford to fly out to see them , so they understood . +Did your husband's family get to meet your family ? +My husband's parents flew out to meet my family when we got married in my hometown , so that was great . Some people spend ridiculous amounts of money on extravagant wedding receptions , but we agreed that the wedding party should be less about money and more about family . +That makes sense . Did you go on a honeymoon ? +We waited until our one-year anniversary to go on our honeymoon to Africa . +You really didn't have a very traditional wedding , did you ? +Not at all , but we don ’ t have a very traditional marriage either , so it suited us perfectly ! +Did you read this ? It says that the number one new years resolution make is to spend more time with friends and family . +Why would that be funny ? +Well , think about it . We are a society that is always on the go , not because we have to , but because we want to . +Why ? +We work hard and spend less time at home because we are trying to provide for our family with goods and services that are usually unnecessary . +I don ’ t agree , but anyways , I think you should start thinking of a new year ’ s resolution yourself . +What ’ s the point ? We always make a new year ’ s resolution and by February we will have forgotten about it . It ’ s pointless . +Well then maybe you should resolve to sticking to your goals and objectives . +What about you ? Your gym bag is gathering dust and you still have brand new running shoes that are yet to be jogged in . +Well , I would go if you kept your promise of going to the gym with me everyday ! +Yeah , yeah , whatever . +How did your vacation go ? +I traveled the Three Gorges . +What about the trip ? Do you enjoy yourself ? +Yes , we had a good time . The trip was terrific . We toured the Three Gorges by boat . Its realty exciting ! +Did your boat float down the river ? +Yes . There are many places where the gorge is very narrow , with steep cliffs on both sides . +Sounds dangerous . +Yes , but we have life jackets . And we got a real kick out of that . +What a thrilling trip ! +What do you think of his behaviour yesterday ? +He's a sad dog . He came to the wedding in jeans ! +I don't think so . He only had no common sense . +They promised us a sea view . +Well , you can just see the sea . Between the factory chimneys . +Isn't it awful ? I can't bear to look at it . I don't think I can stand this place for two weeks . +Well , it can't be helped . We'll just have to put up with it . +Hello , Mike , long time no see . How's everything going ? +Not bad . Thank you . You look great today . And how is your husband ? +He caught a cold yesterday , but he feels much better now . +Well , I'm glad to hear that . Please give my regards to him . +I sure will . Thanks . +Hello ! How are you . +Not too well ! I ’ m just to the doctor . I haven ’ t been feeling too well over the last few days . +What have you got ? A cough ? A cold ? +That ’ s the funny thing . I don ’ t what ’ s wrong with me . I just feel exhausted . +Perhaps you ’ Ve been working too hard . You do have a high-pressure job . +Maybe . I haven ’ t been able to keep my food down either . That ’ s unusual . +Well . I ’ m sure the doctor will be able to prescribe something to make you well again . Dr . Jameson is very good . +Yes , he is . I ’ Ve make an appointment for 10 o ’ clock , so I ’ d better move along . +OK . Hope you feel better soon . You should take it easy . I ’ m sure the doctor will prescribe rest , you know . +If you go out recently you will find some people riding scooters in high streets and back lanes . +Yes . The German engineer would never dreamed that the hand - supported scooter he invented several years ago to solve his traffic problems would become so fashionable in the Occident within a few years and even spread to Japan and China . +Looking at the ' five sense organs ' of a scooter , it can be said as delicate and agile . To pull the T-shaped pole and make it vertical with the flat board and then pull it vertically , adjust its height suitable to you and you may use it . +Small and exquisite in size , easy to operate , foldable and easy to carry are its charms . +Your two hands hold the pole , stand on the board , the other foot steps back against the ground and controls well the balance of the body , then you can ride in the air . It has a feeling of surfing . You need not let other people teach you . Your fear will disappear quickly . +Hi , dear , do you know what the important day is today ? +I don ’ t know . +Please think it over . +Oh , I see . +Come on , dear . I know you mustn ’ t forget it . +It ’ s Saturday , a great weekend . +Ur , you really let me down . +Don ’ t be angry with me . I have a bad memory . +No , you haven ’ t . You just don ’ t care about me . You ’ re an indifferent husband . +What day is it on earth ? +It ’ s an anniversary of our weeding . +Hi , dear , do you know what the important day is today ? +I don ’ t know . +Please think it over . +Oh , I see . +Come on , dear . I know you mustn ’ t forget it . +It ’ s Saturday , a great weekend . +Ur , you really let me down . +Don ’ t be angry with me . I have a bad memory . +No , you haven ’ t . You just don ’ t care about me . You ’ re an indifferent husband . +What day is it on earth ? +It ’ s the anniversary of our weeding . +Let ’ s call it a day . +It ’ s nice to go home earlier once in a while . But it ’ s the evening rush . +It ’ s hard to commute a long way . +Sure it is . I really hate to get caught in a traffic jam . +How was your trip to America ? +We had a fantastic time . +Did you go to the Magic Kingdom ? +No , but we went to the Kennedy Center . +How do you like these dishes ? +Fine , they are colorful and tasty . +Did you enjoy your dinner ? +Yes , I did . I have never tasted anything like this . +Would you like some more rice ? +No , thanks . I'm full . +Another piece of meat pie ? +No , thanks . I'm on diet . +How about the dessert ? +Ice cream , please . +What was the movie you saw last night ? +It was a foreign film called ' Gone with the wind ' . +Really ? I've seen that movie , too . +How did you like the movie ? +I thought it was pretty good . +I can't say I agree . +You're kidding . The storyline and acting were outstanding . +I guess I expected too much from the movie , so I was a bit disappointed . +It might be . +Tom , aren ’ t you a little too old to be trick-or - treating ? +What are you talking about ? Where is your Halloween spirit ? Didn ’ t you ever dress up in a costume and go around the neighborhood trick-or-treating with your friends ? +Of course , I did , but when I was ten ! Trick - or-treating is for kids , plus , I ’ m sure people will think you ’ re a kidnapper or something , running around with kids NCP at night . +Whatever , I ’ m going next door I heard Mrs . Robinson is giving out big bags of M & Ms ! +I hear Yolanda has been studying every night this week for the exam . +That's good , but I think it's too late . She hasn't studied all semester , and I doubt she can catch up in one week . +Hello . I'm Jason . +Hi . My name is Dolma . +Nice to meet you , Dolma . +Good to meet you too . +When and where were you born ? +I was born in Beijing in 1965 . +You look so young . +Really ? Thank you . +How about the hiking ? It was freezing yesterday , are you all ok ? +Can ’ t be better , it was wonderful . We had a lot of fun there . There was so much joy and walk and breathe the winter air . We arrived at the park at 9 o ’ clock in the morning and didn ’ t leave till 3 o ’ clock in the afternoon . +You had been walking for 6 hours , isn ’ t that boring ? +Of course not ! We built a snowman , some snow dogs and one big snow fort . We went sliding on the nice hill . It was a real work out . At noon , we had the most special winter picnic outside . Fortunately , we got it all on a video tape . You must come with us next time . I bet you will love it . +Well . You know I hate walking , but I can ’ t wait to see your guys ’ video . +Do you believe in horoscope fortune-telling ? +I used to be an atheist . But in recent months , I couldn't but form a more favorable opinion of horoscope . +That sounds interesting . Have you been involved in any mystery ? +Not exactly , except that I find horoscope predictions increasingly accurate . I came upon a website which sends me an up-dated message by e-mail each day forecasting my experience in detail . It is amazing to find these forecasts largely in line with my daily life . +What did it say about you then ? +For example , the message for the day before yesterday notified me that I , as a Leo guy , was to have some " unusual experience in food and drink . And as it turned out , the reality matched this prediction well . Lasi night , I was treated to a dinner party by Mr . Lee . +But it must have been only a coincidence . That's the only way superstition wins over science . +Oh , no . You can never tell whether such-and-such is science or sheer fraud.If horoscope is really something deceptive , how come quite a size of proportion of young people think highly of it . +For fun . It serves as a shared topic to them.While they claim to consult the predictions constantly and marvel at their " accuracy ' . they do not necessarily take them seriously . When it that these predictions are matched by their real-life experiences , they delight in spreading the thrill with friends . But if there isn't any correlation between reality and predictions , they just grin , forget about them , and go on living as usual . +Don't have some relation with him . You know , he is not a kind man . +Yeah . Sometimes I just cannot accept his behavior . +If you attack him , be sure you ’ ll get a Roland for an Oliver . +OK , it ’ s better to be far away from him . +It's nice and bright today , isn't it ? +Yeah.The autumn is marvelous here . +How about winter ? +That's a hard time.The air is cold and damp , and the road is often icy . +It's boring , right ? +Sure . +Do you get much rain during the summer ? +Plenty.We never worry about lack of rainwater in our area . +So you should bring an umbrella often . +That's right . +You don ’ t look like enjoying this workout . +I ’ m not crazy about it at all . +You don ’ t like this sort of exercise ? +I ’ m not interested in it . Are you keen on it ? +Yes , that ’ s funny . I thought you liked it . +I hate it . +Never mind . It ’ ll be over in 10 minutes . +It ’ s the worst thing I ’ Ve ever tried . +Hi , Jenny . Are you going to school now ? +Yup . I have English at 9 in the morning . +Got any plans after the class ? +Not really . What about you ? +We will have our midterm exams next month . I plan to look for some important books and study at the library . Do you want to join me ? +Sure . I need to return some books . They are due today . Besides , I can also read some weekly publications , magazines and newspapers . +Great . We can go to the swimming pool in the gymnasium after that . +That sounds like a good idea . We can chill out a little in such a hot summer . Are you good at swimming ? +Well , that's a good question . I haven't swum for almost two years . I think I need more practice . +Oh , it's almost 9 . I need to hurry . I am running late now . See you after class in front of the library then . Bye ! +See you then . +Linda , would you care for some candies or cookies ? +No , don't try to tempt me . I'm becoming chubby , and I have to slender down . +You are not really chubby . You are actually thin enough . +I don't think so . I know I've put on weight this winter . +So you are watching your weight , aren't you ? +Yes , to tell you the truth . I am on the diet . +Did you listen to the weather forecast ? +No . Why ? +There's a typhoon coming . +No way ! +Yep , it should be here by tomorrow night . +... I knew it . I always knew you were a lesbian ! +She's my roommate , not my date . The D-man , as in dork . +Haha . Still got that great sense of humor , I see . Here's my card . I sell used cars . A car from us is a car you can trust ! +Alrighty then . Didn't you use to date Sheryl ? +Sweet little lassie . Yep , broke her heart when the D-man told her he couldn't be a one-woman guy . +Oh ? I heard she dumped you . Anyway , she's right over there . Oh , Sheryl ! +Which team do you think will emerge with the last laugh in this World Cup ? +I wish it could be Germany . But it seems they are not in a very good conditions . +No , they aren't . They had a hard time in the group stage and only sealed a sit in the eighth-finals with Wallack ' s header in the final three minutes . Just think , group A consists of Austria , China , and Saudi Arabia , all of which are minnows . +It seems they've been out of luck since the beginning of the event . Their shots hit the woodwork as many as six times . Oh . my goodness ! I'm afraid the team is under a spell . +Well , at least the Germans have demonstrated a very good ability to control the midfield . They recorded a total of 62 tackles in the match against Austria . And they to be endowed with perfect positional sense . I think that will give rise to scoring chances sooner or later . +I agree . Eeven though German attackers are not good at dribbling past opposing defenders , they breach the defensive line through quick movements to the right attacking positions and through accurate , well-timed passes . +That's why I still have very high hopes for the team . Now that the tournament has proceeded into the knock-out stage , the Germans will probably make it through to the finals . +Yes . They have a good reputation for their tenacity and discipline , especially in vital , decisive encounters . +The woman was beaten again . Why didn ’ t she call the police . +Because it was her husband who beat her . +It is incredible . +She said that she didn ’ t want to foul her own nest . +Are you feeling better today , Bill ? +Well , it's hard to say . I cough a lot in the evening . +You'd better give up smoking . It's bad for your health . +You're right , but you know , it's hard to give up an old habit . +But you should make up your mind first . +You know , I often have to work till late at night . I need something to keep me awake . +Why don't you go to bed and get up early ? You'll have the same time for work . +Thank you for your advice ! I'll try it . +I don't know why people are just mad about David Peckham . Is there really anything so fascinating with him ? +He appeals to the fans thanks to two things +you mean he plays well ? Yeah , he often scores by free kicks in crucial games . But a football match is by no means merely a show of taking free kicks . +Certainly not . What really counts is to play as a team , passing the ball amongst each other , dodging defenders . Free kicks are a result of all the teammates ' collective efforts . However , a few free k +In the case , maybe facial charm should be his leading card . After all , the majority of his fans are girls . +yes , his face looks are manly , with a straight nose and infinite eyes . As a man of medium height in the West , he keeps a powerful but elegant figure , looking neither lanky nor stout . +and he is English ! He makes a model gentleman when he puts on a black suit and speaks with a typical British accent . +What are you reading ? You've had your nose buried in that book since last night . +This book is so good . I just can't put it down ! It's called ' The Power of One ' . +I haven't read a book like that for as long as I can remember . +Me either . From the very first page , this author just pulled me right in ! +Can I read it when you're finished ? +Yes . I'm in the last chapter now and it is just gripping . +Don't tell me anything about it . I want to read it for myself . +Okay . But be prepared for an all-nighter ! I doubt you will want to put it down either . +Did you have a part-time job when you were still in school ? +No . I was way too busy studying all the time . How about you ? +Yeah . I worked about 20 hours a week in a pizza restaurant . +What was that like ? +It was always very busy there . +What did you do ? +I stood behind the register and took pizza orders . +Did you get any perks on the job ? +Yeah . I got to eat as much pizza as I could for free . +May I introduce myself ? I am steven smith . +Glad to meet you mr smith my name is jenny . +Don ’ t be worried . Please sit down and take it easy . +How could I feel easy ? I ’ m really pissed . +But you should avoid finger-pointing when you haven ’ t got the real facts . +Ok . I ’ ll try my best to calm down first . +That looks like an interesting book . +It is . It ’ s got pictures of interesting building from all over the world , with brief descriptions of how they were build , their purpose , and so on . +There are the pyramids . It ’ s easy to see how they got that name ! they don ’ t have smooth sides though . +They don ’ t now , but most of them did originally . There ’ s picture of the pentagon in the united states . It ’ s very distinctive with its five sides . +Look at that cylindrical office building . I ’ Ve never been seen one that shape before . +Yes . Usually only TV towers are cylindrical in shape . +TV towers are usually thicker at the bottom than at the top . They ’ re not perfectly cylindrical . +This is the world ’ s largest sports stadium . It ’ s a massive oval . +What sports do they play there ? +It says here that it ’ s m mainly used for big football matches and athletics meetings . +Is that building a perfect cube ? +According to the book , it is . I ’ Ve never seen a building that is a perfect cube . Look at the building . From the air , it looks like a square with a semi-circle attached to each of its four sides . What +Is says here that it ’ s a war memorial . Now , there ’ s a distinctive structure-the stomium in Brussels . See ? It consists of several connected by cylinders . I believe you can go up and down inside it . +Hey Bobby . What's going on ? +Just taking a smoke break . +I forgot my cigarette today . Do you have another one ? +Sure . Here you go . +Thanks . +I didn't know you smoked . +Really ? I've been smoking for over a year now . +Oh . You're new to smoking still . I've been smoking for 7 years . +You ever tried to quit ? +Many times . I'm really addicted . It's harder to stop than you think . +Yeah . I tried to quit last month , and I thought it was going to be easy , but it turns out that I'm still smoking . +I highly recommend you quit soon . The longer you smoke , the harder it becomes to quit . +I think you're right . Aright . Gotta go to class . Thanks for the cigarette . I'll talk to you later . +No problem . I'll talk to you later . +Do you know who ’ s just got married ? Old Mc Donald . +Never ! He ’ s over 80 , isn ’ t he ? +He ’ s nearly 90 . +Good gracious ! Are you sure ? +I am . Whatsmore , his wife is 84 . +Is she really ? +Yes , she is . And guess what , he is her sixth husband . +Really ? Quite a woman , isn ’ t she ? +What did you do last night ? +I just stayed at home and watched TV . +Did you watch the Barcelona versus Madrid game ? +Yes , it was a very evenly matched game . +What were the results of the game ? +It ended in a tie . +What was the actual score ? +It was three all . +Really ? I thought Barcelona was going to win . They are a much better team than Madrid . +If Barcelona had played as they normally do , they should have won . +What happened ? +Their goalkeepers got injured after the first goal , but he kept on playing anyway . +That explains it . +How many more games are left this season ? +That was the last game before the playoffs . +When do the playoffs start ? +In a few weeks . Are you planning on watching them ? +Of course ! I really love watching football games on TV . +Me , too ! Do you want to come over and watch the next game at my place ? I'm planning on having a few people over to watch it together . +Sure , that would be great . +Ok , it's a date then ! +The acting of this film is marvelous.In spite of the thin plot , the acting , the music and the scene have won the Academy Award of this year . +I'm sorry for hero . I dont think there's any excuse for his acting in some parts . +Don't be too critical.We can't expect it to be perfect . +Last weekend I didn't want to go out either , so I stayed at home and played video games by myself . It was really fun ! +Oh yeah , that sounds pretty cool , I guess ... +Yeah , I'm really into video games . In fact , all my friends are on the Internet . I've never met any of them in the real world . +Oh really ... well you must be very popular on the Internet . But it's true that it's nice to do some things in the comfort of your own home . +Hello , Pam . +I'm glad that you can make it . +It looks like there are a lot of people inside . +Yeah . I've invited a lot of friends besides you . +Should I take my shoes off ? +We all keep our shoes on indoors . +Where are your parents ? +They've gone out so that we could have the house to ourselves . +That's great ! +Will you go with us this Sunday ? +What for ? +Let's go and play volleyball . +Sorry , I don't feel like playing . I have too much homework . +I think it's about time that we had to go . +What ? Won't you have more drinks ? +I'd love to , but I have to get up early tomorrow and get to the office on time . +Oh ! I'm sorry , but I wish you could stay . +Thank you for a very enjoyable evening and your hospitality . +Don't mention it . You can come whenever You are free . +Wow , Is winter always this cold in Taiwan ? +Not really . It's much warmer usually . Your are not used to cold weather ? +No , I am from south California . This is my first real winter . +Well , You'd better get some more warm clothes . +What's the temperature today anyway ? +I would say it's about 5 degree Celsius . +When is your birthday ? +August 1st . +Do you usually have a birthday party ? +Yes , we do.My parents prepare dinner for me . +What would you do at the party ? +We sing " Happy Birthday " at the party and have birthday cakes . +Do you know when people began to sing the song " Happy Birthday " ? +Well , I don't know . +Let me tell you the story.In 1892 , Patty Smith Hill and Mildred Hill wrote a song called " Good Morning to you " . But later someone added the words " Happy Birthday " to their tune . +So the " Happy Birthday " song has been popular since then ? +Yes , actually , the song has been sung since its publication in 1932.People all over the world have sung it in many different languages . +What do you think of your teacher ? +He's very strict with us . +And I hear he gives very good lectures . +Indeed . He's strict with himself , too . We can see every lecture of his is well-prepared . +I ’ Ve got a new boss . +Oh , what ’ s he like ? +Well , he ’ s got dark hair and brown eyes . +Yes . +And a white sports car . +Um , that ’ s good . +Yes , but he ’ s got a wife and 3 children as well . +I'm very grateful for what you have done to my son , doctor . +That's all tight , Mr.Smith.That ' s my job . I'm very glad he recovered so soon . +I know he has brought great trouble to you . A million thanks . +No trouble at all . He's very cute and brave . By the way , do remember to keep him away from sea food for at least two weeks . +I will . It's most thoughtful of you . +Would you like to have dinner with me tonight ? +Oh , that sounds great ! +I ’ ll pick you up at ... say , seven thirty ? +Yes , that would be perfect . +See you tonight then . +Yes . Thank you for inviting me . +Excuse me , could you tell me where you have got that music book ? +Certainly . Let me see . Oh , it's on that self . +It's too high . I can't reach it . Could you help me ? +Of course . Here you are . +Thank you very much . +Thank you so much . I can't take this . +She will insist . It's a rosary . She has millions of them . Take it . +What did she mean just now about raising pigs ? +Oh ! My grandmother used to say “ raising pigs , raising kids ... at least you can eat the pigs . ” +Ha-ha . I get it . That's funny . Your cousin's a real sarcastic lady . +She likes to complain about her macho husband and her “ bambinos ” , but she loves them all dearly . +I ’ m hungry , let ’ s grab a bite to eat . +Sure ! How about we go home and prepare a couple of sandwiches ? +Nah ! Let ’ s go get a burger and fries . +All you ever do is have unhealthy fast food Pizza , fries , burgers and hot dogs ! You have to start eating better ! +What are you talking about ? I have salads some times . +Yeah right ! I ’ m serious ! You should also cut down on your sugar intake as well . You drink carbonated drinks that are high in fructose syrup ! It ’ s really not healthy ! +Fine ! I ’ ll start drinking and having home cooked meals that are low in fat . Are you happy now ? +It ’ s a start , but I ’ ll be happy when I see you stick to your promise ! +I hear you and James are engaged at last . +Yes , we are . +When are you getting married ? +In the spring . +Oh , lovely . Where's the wedding going to be ? +Well .. we're not sure yet , probably in St.Albans . +Oh , yes , your parents live there , don't they ? +Yes , that's right . +Where are you going to live after you're married ? +We're going to buy a flat or a small house somewhere in South London . +Are you going to give up your job ? +Yes , probably but I may look for another one when we're settled in . +Daddy , I want to buy a ten-speed-sportsman . +How much is it ? Is three hundred dollars enough ? +No , I'm not asking for money . I'm asking for your advice . +Oh , you've already grown up , son . +I feel pity for the old man . +I feel the same way . +It must be dreadful to grow old . +Yeah . He has no one to count on . +What a nice photo you ’ Ve taken ! +I ’ m flattered , but really anyone else could do it . +You have a real talent , Ellen ! +I ’ m thinking of making an album , you know . +I don ’ t dare to look after the children now . +Why ? +The children always make themselves in danger . I always have my heart in my mouth with them . +It is because your children have grown up , and you haven ’ t lived with a child for a long time . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes , the fried chicken is too hard to eat . I suggest you bring me another one free of charge . +Well , I think you should go for our manger . I will call him here . +OK . I will talk to him direcly . +Why did Tom quit the job ? +He said his present job seemed to be a blind alley . +If he doesn't change his attitude toward his work , I don't think a new job can make any difference . +I want to buy a gift for my father . Will you go with me to choose one for him ? +Sure . Is it your father's birthday ? +Don't you know ? Tomorrow is Father's Day . +Oh ! How could I forget such an important holiday ? +You also need to choose a gift for your father , right ? +Yes , let's go . +Jane is going to quit her job in the bank . +You must be joking . The job is nice and she is well paid . +It's true , but she says she is tired of counting others ' money . +How long have you been in China ? +A few months . +How do you think of living here ? +Great ! I'm having a great time . +Let's go see pandas ! The news said that two pandas arrived at the zoo last week . +Great ! I would like to see cute pandas , too . +How can we get there ? +We can take the MET and get off at the Zoo Station . +OK ! Let's go . +( At the zoo ) Wow ! This zoo is really huge . +Yes , you can find hundreds of various animals here . It is the biggest zoo in Taiwan . +Look at the map . It has different areas , such as marine lives , mammals , polar animals and insects . +Where can find the pandas ? I think we are here to see the pandas . +We have to go to the mammal area . We are at the gate right now . We need to go straight from here and turn left and go along to the end and make anotherleft turn . +It should take at least 20 minutes to get there . Are there any shuttle buses running place to place around the whole zoo ? +Finding an excuse is obviously down your alley . And trying to avoid taking care of the children is what you are good at . +Listen , Nancy . If I don't work hard , I will be laid off . +You are passing the buck . I'll be hanged if I ask you to go to the park with us . +Come on , Nancy . Play it cool . I go with you and burn the middle night oil tonight . +Thank you for showing me your offices , Mr . Becker . I can see why Washington bureaucrats enjoy their jobs . +Why do you say that ? +The city is beautiful , the off ... , the offices are modern and comfortable , and the work is so interesting . +Many people work for the federal government their entire adult lives . Government service can be a rewarding and secure career . +Do you mean financially rewarding ? +Well , many positions pay salaries that are comparable to those in private industries . +I've always thought that most bureaucrats are lazy . +Sometimes that's true , but not usually . Most feds are honest , hard-working professionals . It ’ s hard to keep highly trained people , so the pay and working conditions have to be attractive . +How much do you make ? +I'm a GS - 15 . That's high on the scale of workers , but even a GS - 1 is paid a living wage . +I just got fired . +You asked for it . +Hello ? +Hi , Kathy . Have you had lunch ? +Not yet . And I ’ m really hungry now . +I ’ m starving , too . There is a new Chinese restaurant close by . Do you want to go there for lunch ? +Why not ? +It ’ s my treat this time . +Thanks . I could eat a cow . +Would you like to see our new shirts ? +Sorry , but I ’ m not really interested in those things . +But they ’ re very nice , you know . +Really . +And not expensive either . +Oh , I don ’ t care about that . +Everybody is buying them . +Are they ? +Yes , they ’ re very fashionable , you see . +I ’ m afraid I ’ m not interested in fashion . +I see . +But thank you very much all the same . +Sorry , I couldn ’ t help you . +Hi . What's up ? +Nothing much . What's new with you ? +Not too much . I've been pretty busy . +Me too . Seems like all I do is eat and sleep . +Gotta go . Call me tonight . +Okay . Check you later . +Hey , what sort of drinks do you want ? Gatorade or water ? +Gatorade . It ’ s rich in Vitamin and it gives us energy and vitality . +Yes , that ’ s the exact thing we need . One for each . +What should we do , now with Jack out of the game ? +We should choose from the backups . +That ’ s right . Spraining the ankle and breaking the leg are the common things during the match . +That ’ s why we should learn to protect ourselves . Otherwise , the game is not worth the candle . +That ’ s for sure . During the back court , we should change the position we played . +Yes , I played shooting guard , I like shooting and you ’ ll play inside , OK ? +I agree with you . I think we ’ ll play much better than before . +Wow , the cheer-section is coming . The music is so fantastic . +Yeah , look how passionate they are ! Are they professional ? +Well , you should ask your friend . You know I ’ m not the boss . Just kidding . +Oops ! I almost forget about it . Do you see the girl in the middle of the first line ? +Yeah , what ’ s up ? +Don ’ t you think she looks like your daughter ? +I also have a doubt . Oh , kill me softly , she is May . +Welcome to my birthday party , I am so happy you can come . +Thanks for inviting me . Here is the gift for you . Happy birthday , Francis ! Many more happy and healthy years for you ! +Thank you , shall I open it now ? +Yes , please do . +Wow , a remote car model and my favorite brand . I really like it . That is so nice of you . +Yeah , I was really struggling whether I should give you this nice little car . It was the last one they had and I really like it so much myself . +Typical you , always wanting to keep the best things for yourself . The more I appreciate the gift now . +Hi , Mark ! Long time no see ! +Hi , Alex ! +Where have you been ? +I just got back from London . +How was your flight ? +It was OK . There was a lot of turbulence , though . +That ’ s too bad . How long was the flight ? +It was 10 hours . +Did you have a layover ? +Yes , in Paris , France . +Did you buy anything in the duty-free stores ? +Yes . I bought two boxed of chocolate – one for me and one for you ! +Oh , you didn ’ t have to ... +It was nothing . +I wish our competition will quit poaching our people , when Susan resigned last week to work for the Sunburst , she was our fourth employee to leave us for them . +Have you ever considered that perhaps we have a morale problem among our employees ? If everyone is discontent with their work , of course they won't stick arround . +Well , those do leave will soon find out the grass isn't as green on the other side of sense as they thought it was , I know Sunburst is suffering from inbreeding . +Inbreeding is a big drawback from snitching most of their employers from one or two companies . +With Susan leaving , we should probably look to someone new on board . +Our human resource department is working on it , it's not easy to recruit new employees every few month , it's hard to find qualified people . +Maybe we should start shopping around the competitors people . +Do you have a bf ? +Yes , I had a bf before . +Why you say bf before ? +We parted from each other last month . +Have you got a new one ? +Mmmm , no . How about you ? +I am single , I have no real of , only an E-gf , that is you . +Haha , so you are my E-bf . +I like you . Do you agree to be my of ? +Mmmm . .. OK , let's try to be . +Wow ! Blablablabla . . . +Hey ! What is it ? +I am flying like a bird . +LL +I am so happy . I want to drink a cup of champagne . +I have no champagne right now . How about this ? +It's OK , so I send you this . +Is it made of chocolate ? +It's my heart ; it's made of what you like . +Oh , I will have a sweet dream . +Are you sleepy ? +A little bit . I have to go to sleep though I don't want to . +Yes , I do not want to see ur sleeping in the office . +Thx.Bye for now . Kisssssssssss . +C U here , honey . +Hello , Kevin . +Oh , hi , Lee . You look great . +Thanks . You too . +What's the weather forecast for today ? +Cloudy in the morning , overcast in the afternoon . +Any rain ? +No , but I wouldn't be surprised if it rained tomorrow . +I wouldn't either . It's been looking like rain for several days . +Which do you like better , orange or lemon ? +I like orange better . +Why ? +Because orange is much more to my taste . +You hurt Ben's feelings . +So ? +have you ever seen Bill Gate's home on the internet ? +no . what's it like ? +it's got its own library , theatre , swimming pool , and a guest house . The house itself has about ten different rooms that are all hooked up to computers so you can get things done in each room through +would you want to live there ? +I think his house is fantastic , but I wouldn't want to live there . You would have to hire one or two people to clean all the rooms in the house , plus a few people to take care of the gardens , and pro +what's your dreamhole like then ? +my dream home is actually just a small cottage in a quite village in England . +would you want to buy an old cottage or build a new one yourself ? +old homes are great because they've got character . I think that's important . +it that why you wear second-hand cloths as well ? Because they've got character ? +no , that's just because I don't have enough money to buy new cloths all the time ! +I see . If you lived in an old house , would it be decorated in a modern way ? +no , I'd definitely try to restore it to its original state . I love to imagine what it'd be like to live in another time in history and living in a house decorated like it would have been 200 years a +When I quarrel with my husband . He didn't even try to cool me out . +It takes two to make a quarrel and it takes two to mend fences . +I was so angry that I could not keep cool . What I need is just an apology . +You're just left school , haven't you , Emily ? +Yes , I finished last Friday . +You sound relieved . +Well , yes . I don't mind admitting that I am . I enjoyed school , but I did object to having to go in every day once we've done all our exams . +Well , what are you going to do now ? Have you made any plans ? +Yes , I intend to go to university.That ' ll be in September.But it all depends on my A level results . +You mean getting into university actually depends on your passing your A level subjects ? +Oh , yes . +That was a great dinner . I didn't know that you knew how yo cook . +I'm glad you liked it . Are you ready for dessert ? +I don't know . I'm pretty full . What are we having ? +I made strawberry shortcake . +Ooh , that's my favorite . Maybe I'll have a small slice . +Great . Would you like coffee or tea with that ? +I'll have a cup of tea . +Do you take cream or sugar with your tea ? +Actually , could I have some milk with that ? +Definitely . Would you like skim or whole milk ? +Skim , please . That'd be very nice . Thanks ... oh no . Janna , I'm so sorry , but I've got to go . +What happened ? +I just got a message from my sister saying that she's been in a car accident . I need to go pick her up . +I'll go with you . Where is she ? +She's on the M40 , near Reading . +Is she alright ? +I don't know , she didn't say . I'm so sorry about this . +Don't worry . Family comes first . Come on , let's go . +Actually , I've only got a two-seater . I'll have to go on my own . +Ok . Just call me if you need anything then . +I will . Thanks a lot . +You look upset , is there anything wrong ? +Yes , to tell you the truth , there is . +What is it ? +Well , I've lost my wallet and my ID card . +Oh , that's too bad ! I am sorry to hear that ! +Forget it , there is no use crying over the spilled milk . +Diana , do you like the perfume I gave you ? +It ’ s good . But to tell you the truth , I don ’ t wear perfume . +I ’ m sorry . I didn ’ t know that . +That ’ s all right . Thank you all the same . +Are there any interesting stories in the newspaper today ? +There are a few stories about natural disasters . There is a massive forest fire in Australia . It covers several square kilometers of land has destroyed many more square kilometers . +Was it caused accidentally or naturally ? Sometimes it gets so hot that fires begin naturally in Australia and Africa . +Nobody knows at the moment , but it has been very hot there recently . The drought in Africa is causing starvation . Millions of people have migrated to try and find food . +What is the international community doing to help ? +The European union has sent several plants with relief supplies . Several countries have sent soldiers to distribute food and medical supplies . Refugee camps have been set up across the region . +How many countries have been affected ? +Six have been seriously affected , but the refugees are also migrating to several surrounding countries . +I saw on the tv yesterday that there has been another earthquake in Iran . +Yes . There have been a few there recently . They say that this one was not a big quake . The Iranians are dealing with it on their own . They have purchased some special equipment to find people buried under rubble . +Does the newspaper say anything about casualties ? +So far , less than 20 people have died , but over 100 are in hospital . +Where are you going for your trip ? +I think Hebes is a good place . +But I heard the north of China are experiencing severe sandstorms ! +Really ? +Yes , it's said that Hebes was experiencing six degree strong winds . +How do these storms affect the people who live in these areas ? +The report said the number of people with respiratory tract infections tended to rise after sandstorms . The sand gets into people's noses and throats and creates irritation . +It sounds that sandstorms are trouble for everybody ! +You are quite right . +hi , how are you doing ? +everything's great . And you ? +same here . Have you seen any new films recently ? +no , I haven't had a chance to . But I've been watching a Chinese TV series called Chinese-Style Divorce . +oh , really ? I saw it two years ago . It's worth seeing and it's thought-provoking . +yeah . I found it is so close to our life . +it reflects some of our difficulties in this ever-changing world . +you said it . You know , the divorce rate has been on the rise in recent years . +well , it's said that a lot of young people favor getting married quickly which tend end quickly too . +I know a couple who divorced a week after getting married . +oh , that's too short-lived . +that's true . It's said the short-lived marriage is typical of the post - 80s generation . +I can't agree more . The only-child generation in China tends to know little about marriage . +definitely . They don't take relationships and marriages very seriously . +in their mind , love is nothing but passion and marriage is over once the passion is gone . +I think , as the saying goes as the saying goes haste makes waste , it is the same thing with marriage . +We should keep Frank at arm's length . +Yeah . He's known as a sly dog . He's done many people in . +He hits below the belt . +And he may cash in on people whenever chances are provided . +Did you read the letter in the paper about smoking ? The person who wrote that must be crazy . +I don't think so . I think the government should do everything it can to discourage people from smoking . +Maybe so . But a law banning cigarettes would do no good . +No.You can't suddenly make smoking illegal . But the government could prohibit smoking in public places like cinemas and theaters . +So Beth , what kind of music do you listen to ? +I listen to a lot of hip hop . What about you ? +I mostly listen to pop music , but I like a lot of different stuff . +Yes , me too . I mostly listen to hip hop , but there are many genres of music I like . +Tomorrow's Carl's birthday ? +Yes.Let ' s hold a birthday party for him , shall we ? +Good idea ! Let's make ready , then . +I know I'm a blabbermouth , but what do you think she should do , John ? +Honey , we're in the museum now . We're not here to discuss your coworker's love life . We're here to enjoy the great paintings by Picasso ! +I know ! But it's really important to her ! Her whole life could be ruined by this man ! +You're making a federal case out of it . One unhealthy love affair can't ruin anything . It could even make your life more interesting . +Are you serious , John ? +All I'm trying to say is that life is ... like ... er ... this painting . +Don ’ t you think it would be an idea to name the ship Dolphin ? +All right , if that would make you happy . +So you ’ Ve got something on your mind , I guess . +Well , nothing really serious . +Have you decided what you are going to take next semester ? +Well , I'm an English major , you know.So I came here to make sure I'm taking the right things . +Good . I think it's a good idea . Our department should require meetings like this . +I want to finish my degree in four years.So I don't want to forget to take classes I need . I have a friend who has to stay in college another year.She didn't know until recently . There were some classes she needed to take to graduate.She didn't know about them . +Yes , that happens . +I brought my transcript from my first year.Here . And here is the list of courses I plan to take in the fall . +Alright . Good . I see you've already taken six credits of your breadth requirements.You have one botany class and one chemistry class . And political science.So that's nine credits . Did you take English Composition 201 ? +No , I don't need to . I took Advanced Placement English in high school.So I'm not required to take composition . +Excellent . I see you have the 18th century poetry class for next semester.And the modern novel class . You haven't taken a Shakespeare class yet . +No , I thought I would take it later . +Actually , I recommend you take Shakespeare sooner rather than later . +Well , I suppose I could cross out the 18th century poetry class . I have to see when the Shakespeare class meets . +Let me look at the timetable.Shakespeare meets Monday , Wednesday and Friday at 11 +I can take it then . I have that time slot free . +Good . I recommend it . Shakespeare is of course enormously important.We want our students to take the class as soon as they can.And Professor Friedman is an excellent teacher . +I'll take it then . +Tell me , Lisa , what made you decide to be an English major ? +I want to be an English professor in the future . I love studying literature , and I want to teach it . +Really ? That's great to know . +That's the reason I want to finish my B . A . in four years.Because I know I will be in school a long time . I want to start the M . A . and Ph . D . program as soon as possible . +hey , Lucas , how was your trip to Paris ? +it was wonderful , but I was so tired . +did you go to the top of the Eiffel Tower ? +yes , that was the first thing we did . We went all the way to the top . There were visitors from all over the world taking photos there . +what else did you see ? +art galleries , cathedrals , statues , fountains , palaces , bistros , there's really too much to say . +you must have had a great time . +yes , at the beginning we were all excited and had lots of fun . However , on the third day of traveling in the city , I felt sick . I think I had something bad to eat , but it passed by the evening . +yes , you need to be careful with what you eat when you're abroad . Sometimes new food might disagree with you . +on the fouth day , we went to taste the French cuisine . That was really fantastic ! And no stomach problems . +that is great . Everyone says French food is wonderful . +you'll have to try for yourself some day . +Excuse me . +Yes , Miss , what can I do for you ? +I ordered my dish about a half an hour ago , but it hasn't arrived yet . +I'm sorry for that , I'm going to check with the chef right now . Miss , I just checked with the kitchen , and they said your order will be coming right up next . Oh , here comes . +Thank you . +Miss , I'm very sorry for the delay , please enjoy this . Free a glass of wine for inconvenience . Again I'm terribly sorry to make you wait so long . +It doesn't matter . +How do you like this waltz ? +It's very nice , I like it very much . +Well , then , may I invite you for the first dance ? +My pleasure . But I'm afraid I'm not much of a dancer , and I suppose you dance often . +Me ? Oh , no . In fact , I took up dancing quite recently . +Oh , really ? But you're doing the waltz wonderfully well . +I'm glad you say so , you dance beautifully too . It's lucky that I got a partner . +Thank you for your compliments.It ' s just that you are a good leader . Do you like the fox-trot and tango ? +Yes . And what dances do you do best ? +Disco is my favorite . I like it better than any other dances because it can release one's pent-up feelings , and is a healthy exercise . But I don't do the rock and roll and the break dance . +Oh , well , the music has stopped . Thank you for the dance . +My pleasure . Let's go and have a drink . +Fine . +What's the Mountaineering Club doing this weekend ? +We are going to climb a cliff on the Yangtze River . +How hard is the climb ? +It is a very difficult climb , because there are not many places to put your hands and feet . +What did you do last week ? +We rappelled down the side of a 300 - foot cliff . It's very exciting . +Wow . That sounds like a lot of fun . I am sorry I missed it . +Well , you should come this weekend . I think you could do the climb . +Yeah , I will . See you then ! +Ok , see you . +How many people are there in your family ? +There are 15 people in my family . +What did you say ? How many ? +15 people . +Wow . That is a very big family . Do you all live together ? +Of course we do ! My father's parents , Mum , Dad , three unmarried aunts , two uncles , my two brothers , my three sisters and me . +But you don't live at home anymore . +Right , but that's where my heart is . But you're right , now there are only 14 living at home . +My goodness ! Your family must live in a huge house . +Yes . My family lives in rural Korea , near Pusan . We have a huge house.The first floor of the house is a part-time private school.In the afternoon , students come for special tutoring in biology , Englis +Wow ! you grew up in a school ! No wonder your English is excellent ! +My aunts and uncles are all teachers . +You are so lucky ! +I guess so . While growing up , I read hundreds of interesting English storybooks every year . +That's what i did in America . I was reading all the time . I was never a big TV watcher . TV wastes time . +I agree . Reading for fun is why all the English students at our family school have excellent English . All the students read 800 easy storybooks during their second year of studying English . +800 books ? I'm impressed ! +My aunts studied in the American universities.They say that extensive reading for fun is the most effective way to improve your English.That ' s what they learn here in America . +... Now that we have been over the gory details of our disastrous first quarter , Ed ! Give us some good news . How are things looking for us in terms sales this month ? +Uh well ... would you like the bad news first or the really bad news ? +What ? Ed , don ’ t tell me you only have bad news ! +Well sir , our sales have dropped , no plunged , fifty percent in the past month alone . We are currently overstocked and overstaffed and our profits refalling fast . The market is in recession and we have no way of moving our inventory , or getting rid of our staff . If we consider redundancies , it would cost us a fortune because of the new regulations governing compensation packages . It ’ s a real mess . +For crying out loud ... How fast are we losing money ? +Um ... how can I put this ? Let ’ s just say that at this pace , we will be filing for Chapter eleven in less than three months . +What ! Geez ! How could this have happened ? So what ’ s the bad news ? +Oh , that ’ s the really bad news . Our supplier suffered QC problems and , well , half of our production is faulty . We ’ re going to have to recall all itemssold in the last quarter . And the worst part ? We ’ re going to have to shoulder this cost . +Are you joking ? Get the supplier on the line now ! They have to assume the costs of this mess ! +We tried that , sir . The factory has gone under and the owner apparently has fled the country . +We ’ re doomed ! +There is some really good news though ! +Really ? What ! +I got offered a new job ! +So Vicky , how long have you held your present position ? +I ’ Ve been a secretary for two years , before that I was at university . +And how do you like working for IBM ? +It ’ s challenging , I feel I have learned a lot . +What ’ s strength do you bring to the job ? +I get along well with people , and I enjoy working with others . +That ’ s good . We always need team players here . +I'm exhausted . My new exercise class is so hard , +I think it is easy . I could work in your class with no problem . +You thing so ? +Oh , without a doubt . When is the next class ? +Tomorrow morning . Try it . +No problem . +Are you going to this class this morning ? +Of course , easy . No sweat . +You're no able to move after this class . +Are you kidding me ? It's going to be up a piece of cake . +You want to bet ? +Yeah , what't the bet ? +I bet I can go one hour in your class this morning and not feel a thing . +Johnny , you did badly on the test . I think you haven't been studying enough . Am I right ? +Yes , Ms . Jones . +Well , you'd better start studying harder if you want to pass this class . +Professor , where's Canada ? +Canada is north of here . +Can you show me on the map ? +Sure . Look here . Canada is north of the United States . +Oh , I see . Where's Mexico ? +Mexico is south of the United States . +How about Connecticut ? Where's that ? +Connecticut is east of New York . +What state is west of Pennsylvania ? +Ohio . +OK , Where's Los Angeles ? +Los Angeles is in California . It's southeast of San Francisco . +Where's Boston . +Boston is in the northeast part of the country . +Where is Las Vegas ? +Las Vegas is in the southwest . +What kind of books do you like ? +I like reading novels about early America . +Really ? Me too . +Which one do you like best ? +I prefer the novels by Hemingway , such as The Old Man and the Sea . I like the simple words in his novels . +Yup . Though the words he used are simple , but the spirit he has conveyed is great . +Absolutely ! +Doesn't she have any friends ? +If she has , they must be fair-weather friends . +Such friends are even worse than enemies . +She'd better keep away from them . +Is that true ? +I guess so . Now Anna's got four kids and another on the way . +Wow . She looks good for having had that many kids . She's pregnant and wearing Prada ! +That's Anna for you . She keeps up the image of the stylish Italian woman . Here she comes . +She's glowing . It must be the pregnancy . +Yeah , or the expensive Italian facial treatments . +Hi , Jenny . Are still working ? +Hi , Nancy . Come in please . I'm just putting away on my books . +So , you are leaving , aren't you ? +Yes , I ’ m going to take a holiday tomorrow . +How nice ! I can see you are busying packing . I'm sorry to interrupt you . +That's all right . I'm almost finished . Do you need my help ? +Yes , could you please go over this for me ? And see if there is any mistake in it ? +Oh . All right I'll read it soon . +Excuse me for taking your time . +It's nothing Nancy . +Why do you look so gloomy ? What are you looking for ? +My dissertation . I put it somewhere last night and I can't find it now . +Did you finish typing it yesterday ? +Yes , I kept on typing it until midnight , but it is lost . +Don't worry about it . It must be somewhere in your room . Let's see where you put it . Have you searched your drawers and the desk ? +Yes , but there is nothing inside the drawers or on the desk . +How about the shelf ? +I've searched everywhere . Where on earth did I put it ? +Don't get upset over it . At least you have another week to go . +I have been working on it for a whole month and it's too late to write another . Just think of all my hard work that goes for nothing . How could I do such a thing ? +Cheer up ! What I meant was that you can find it sometime during a week . There is no need to write a new one . Oh , what's this ? Is this your dissertation ? +Let me see . Yes , that's it . Where did you find it ? +You ’ Ve put it among these journals . +My poor memory . Thank you very much . +Crazy ! He locked himself in the room . +I think he was locked in it . +But you can see the key in his hand through the window ! +What a strange guy ! +Where's Bill ? The ambassador is already here . The meeting is set to start at 9 am . +He's late again . Traffic is probably holding him up . You know , he commutes from the suburbs . It's not easy commuting every day . We should cut him some slack . +Even though the traffic is bumper-to-bumper out there , I don't think it's heavy traffic that makes Bill late . He takes the train , remember ? +Oh , that's right . Well , the train shouldn't be late . That means there is only one explanation ... Bill must have overslept . +Well , to be fare , since he's coming all the way from Lancaster , he's got to get up much earlier than the rest of us . He must get start on his commute about six thirty , no telling what time he actually gets up . +That's right , because he's got to get to the train station from his house , then take the blue line into the city , then switch trains to the red line . In all , the trip's got to take more than 2 hours . +Why doesn't he just drive to work ? +It's too difficult to park your car in the city . Also , the traffic coming in from the suburbs is a nightmare . +What can I do ? +Take the books out of the bookcase . Put them in this box . +Well , the books are in the box . What can I do now ? +Take the magazines out of the bookcase . Put them in that box . +All right . +Peter ! Pack them . Don't read them . +These magazines are interesting . May I borrow one ? +Of course . +Thanks , John . +This is great , isn't it ? +It's the most fun I've had in years . +We should do this more often . +Yes , we should . +What do you think of his behaviour yesterday ? +He's a sad dog . He came to the wedding in jeans ! +I don't think so . He only had no common sense . +Have we sold out all the newspapers for today ? +Yes . What a good job we have done ! +Why are so many extra gifts left here ? +Many customers didn't want them . +How about giving them to that old man ? +Good idea . +By the way , do you think it's a good idea to give free gifts to attract customers ? +I'm not sure , but still it did attract a large crowds today . +I think it should be more useful to hand out some fliers which is also cheaper . +But people can just throw them into the trash can as they turn around . +That's true . +Anyway , let's just finish out job and get back home . +Okay . How tiring the job is ! +I'm afraid of the darkness . +Don't worry . I'll drive you back . +Thank you . +What's your number ? +I'm number seven . What about you ? +Five . +Hah hah ! You have to go before me . +You think it's funny . I'm terrified . +Don't worry . It's safe . +But I've never jumped off anything in my life . The highest thing I've jumped off is my bed . I'm scared . +You are the one who wanted to come here , Sandy . You should enjoy it . +I guess I'm adventuresome , but then I'm scared too . +I'm not too scared . But I've done sky diving before . +I think modern painting means nothing . +I think so too . It's just pointless . +Then why are so many guys so crazy about it ? +I don't know . Maybe they're really crazy . +Maybe . +Hi ! Dick . Where are you going ? You're in such a hurry . +Playground . We're having sports for today's outside class activities . All my classmates have already got there . +What are you going to play ? +Some of us will play basketball and some volleyball . +Enjoy yourself . +Yesterday I had a deal with a vice manager . He acts like the point man . +I always meet people like him . +Wow , the view from the peak is so grand ! +Look , most of the maple leaves have turned red . +Did you ever see this kind of beautiful scene ? +Of course , my father used to take me to Kiang Shan or somewhere like that as a child . +But my father did not . He didn't have much time . +Honey , I'm sorry . I promise you , this summer vacation , I will take you to Huang-Shan Mountains . It is more beautiful and magnificent . +Really ? It's a deal . Have you ever been there ? +Yes , I went there five years ago . You were still a baby at that time . +It really gets me interested . Is it higher than Kiang Shan ? +Surely . You can enjoy the beauty of numerous streams and waterfalls . The sea of clouds has a fairy tale beauty . +Can I see the rainbow ? +That depends . If you are lucky , you can see a vivid rainbow across over two peaks . +Tom has grown six inches within a year . +He has reached puberty . His mind and body both will change a lot . +Yeah , do you see his Adam's apple ? It becomes bigger . +Time is flying . I still remember everything when he was a child . +For our lunch meeting with the investors , do we have to make a reservation at the restaurant or do we just show up ? +Usually for lunch , we don't have to reserve a table , they should allow walk-ins . But to be on the safe side , I'll order a table for half-past twelve . Will that suit your schedule ? +I've arranged to meet them at the restaurant at twelve . Can you make the reservation a little earlier ? If we start earlier , it will give us more time for a longer lunch . +Are you planning on treating the investors to a full-course meal ? +Yes , we'll start with appetizers , follow with a soup and salad course , then main dishes of prime rib or cordon bleu chicken , and finish up with a delicious rich dessert of some sort . +That'll be pretty heavy for a mid-day meal , don't you think ? +As along as we stay away from anything alcoholic , we should be okay . +With your prime rib and chicken choices , you'd better hope nobody's vegetarian . +We can make some special arrangement if we need to . After all , it's the company who is footing the bill . +Too much , Harry . Don't blame her anymore . +But it was her that makes us so embarrassed . +I know . But there's no point in making her feel worse , isn't there ? +I don't care . +Hi Jane , can you let me know the best way to get to your house this evening ? +Certainly , where will you be coming from ? +I need to be in the city centre this afternoon so I will be coming straight from there . +Ok . Take the Underground ( the Circle line ) to High Street Kensington . Make sure you take the High Street Kensington exit . +Got that . +Ok - when you leave the Underground , cross the road and you should see Horntown Street . Was up that street to the crossroads . As you was you should see a fast food place on your right . +Hold on , I am looking at the map now . Ok , I can see Horntown Road . Do I go straight at the intersection ? +No , you need to turn left into Philimore Was and take the next right . +Ok , I can see that road . +That's fine . You will not miss it because it's just next to the Kensington centra Library . +Good , I can see the library on the map . +Ok , we live in the third building on your left . Will we see you around 7 pm ? +That's great , see you at seven . +Guess what came in the mail today ? +What ? +My acceptance letter to Yale ! +Wow ! Congratulation ! When do classes start ? +Freshman orientation is the last week of august , but I want to go two weeks before that to get settled in . +You ’ re so lucky ! Do you have to do many things before you leave ? +Yes . I ’ ll be very busy ! I have to get a visa , buy a plane ticket , and pack my things . But first , I want to register for classes . +When can you do that ? +Well , they sent me their prospectus , so I can start looking now . do you want to help me decide which classed to take ? +Sure . What can you choose from ? +Well , I have to take all the fundamental course , plus a few from my major . +What is your major ? +I hope to major in English literature , but the admissions counselor told me that many people change their major many times in their first year , so we ’ ll see . +What are the fundamental course ? +In order to graduate , every student must take a certain amount of classes in history , math , English , philosophy , science and art . +Interesting . That ’ s very different from the Chinese education system . +Yes , it is . It ’ s also very different from the British education system . +Really ? +oh , sure . In British , students don ’ t have to take the foundation course . +why not ? +maybe because they think they know everything already ! ha ha . +Hey John , nice skates . Are they new ? +Yeah , I just got them . I started playing ice hockey in a community league . So , I finally got myself new skates . +What position do you play ? +I ’ m a defender . It ’ s a lot of fun . You don ’ t have to be able to skate as fast on defense . +Yeah , you ’ re a pretty big guy . I play goalie , myself . +Oh , yeah ? Which team ? +The Rockets . +Really ? I think we play you guys next week . Well , I have to go to practice . See you later . +All right , see you later . +Do you offer a course in business management ? +Yes , we do . +How many nights a week is it ? +It's 3 nights a week , Monday , Tuesday and Thursday . +And how long does the course last ? +It lasts for 9 months . +When does it start ? +The next beginning class starts on October 25th . +What time is the class ? +From 7 to 9 o'clock . +How much does it cost ? +It costs 125 dollars a month . +Yes , that's all right . I want to enroll in the course . +Thank you , please fill out this form for us . +Do you want me to fill it out now ? +Yes , please.we need a record of you education and your work experiences . +Would you like to drink some coffee ? +No , thanks . I have some trouble with my heart , my doctor recommend I to drink less . +Would you like to try some watermelon juice ? It tastes good . +All right +Excuse me . Is there any body here ? +Yes . +I've finished up all my water . I would kill for a sip of water . +Sure , come on in . +Thank you very much . Are you here alone ? +My father and sister are out to photographing . What about you ? +I'm a back-packer from America . +What is a back-packer ? +It means a hiker who loves traveling around the world . +Cool . You must have been to a lot of places . +Yes , actually almost half of all the countries over the world . I love traveling places . +So cool . I want to be a back-packer when I grow up . +You can do it . But do work hard on your English to make it easier . +I'll try my best . +OK , Dead Man . If this doesn't start your engine , nothing will . +Thank you . Hey , do you know how espresso got its name ? +No , I don't . +It's because of the way the steam and boiling water are pressed through the coffee . Es-PRESS-o , get it ? +Uh , are you sure about that ? I thought espresso was an Italian word . +Hello ! +Oh , hi ! +Please allow me to introduce myself . My name is Tom . +Pleased to meet you . My name is Alice . Did you just move in next door ? +Yes , I did . Have you lived here long ? +Me ? I guess so . I've lived here for about six years now .

Where do you work , Alice ? +I teach mathematics at a college . What do you do ? +I am an accountant at a company +Well , Tom . It's good to meet you . I have to go now . I am teaching a class this evening , and I need to get to the college . +It's nice meeting you too , Alice . +See you around ! +Goodbye , Alice . +Good morning , Mei ! How are you ? +Hi Tom ! I'm fine , and you ? +Not bad thanks . +Good . See you ! +Bye ! +You like movies ? +Yeah , I think it's the best way to relax . +What type do you like the best ? +Really it depends on my mood . When I am sad or depressed , I like comedies . If I'm feeling good , I'll watch almost anything . +I see . I generally like movies to help calm me down . I think a sign of a good movie is the ability to bring you into the story as if you were part of it . +Yeah , unfortunately , nowadays directors are often more interested in making money than making a good film . +True . The movie industry is becoming more and more commercial . You see a lot of expensive movies with little artistic value . I generally think those made in the forties are of higher quality on the average than movies today . You can name a lot of classics from that decade . +Yeah , many of my all-time-favorites were made in the forties . They've already stood the test of time and will stay with us for a long time . +I'm totally with you on that . +What a washing machine ! It ’ s getting worse today . Look ! Now it doesn ’ t work at all . I think I need a new one . +Here ’ s an ad . about a big sale of washing machine . Do you want to see it ? +Of course ! Let ’ s have a look . Great ! In my frame of mind , I ’ d like to buy one today . +Hey , your Chinese is coming along ! +You think ? +Yeah . It ’ s a lot better than mine . +But I still get stuck on the different tones.It drives me crazy . +Hang in there . It ’ ll all come together one of these days . +I can ’ t wait to retire . +And then what ? +And then I ’ m moving to Florida where I can play golf all day , every day ! +That sounds boring to me . +What do you plan on doing after you retire ? +Yes , I think I will do something new . I ’ Ve always wanted to be a teacher . I ’ m willing to begin studying to teach . +I admire your energy , Ruth . You are young at heart . +What colour is her hair ? +Oh , blonde , she's very blonde ... quite short hair ... +What , curly ? +No , not at all . Very straight . Her hair comes down like this ... just over the ears . +Does she wear glasses ? +No ... no . I think you're thinking of someone else . +No . I'm sure I know her . +Er ... what else can I tell you ? Er ... she's got ... er a ... round face , a very round face , and a very big mouth , sort of wide mouth , when she laughs , her face is all mouth . +Ah ... No , I can't place her . +Charles , do you have any children ? +Yes . +How many children do you have ? +I have two kids . A boy and a girl . +What are their names ? +Jack and Stephanie . +How old are they ? +Stephanie is 18 and Jack is 24 . +Are they in school ? +Stephanie is . She goes to college in Washington and Jack works in Florida . +What does Stephanie study ? +She studies English . +Is she here now ? +No , she's at school . +I can't believe the weather is so gorgeous for your wedding . +Yes . It's perfect . +And all of the flowers are in bloom . +I couldn't have asked for more . +I was looking at my test score and think that it should be higher . +Is the math wrong or the way the answer was marked ? +I think an answer got marked wrong that should have been marked right . +These things can happen ; let's double-check the answers first to be sure , all right ? +That would be great ! +Look at the answer sheet and compare it to your answers . Do you see any place where I made a mistake in grading ? +This one right here should be right . +Yeah , I see the same thing ; now we can do the math and check that , right ? +Yeah , let's do the math . +I count all of the correct answers , total them , and divide by the total . Does this look right to you ? +Looks pretty good . +Thank you for caring enough to check on your scores ; keep studying ! +Susan , I haven't seen you in the pub for a long time . +I have a part-time job now , so I work in the evenings . +That explains it . +Mrs . Schmidt ! What's happening ! +You'll never guess what happened today ! I went to the doctor after work and the doctor told me ... +And the doctor told you to start listening to Bach ? +No ... He told me I'm pregnant ! +Congratulations ! +And so I bought all these books on having kids and ... +And they said you should play classical music ? +How did you know ! They say listening to classical music can make your baby smarter ! +Guess what ! I know something you don't know ! +What's that ? +How many planets are there in the solar system ? +That's easy . Everyone knows that there are nine . +Not anymore ! Can you believe it ? They've decided that Pluto is not a planet anymore ! +Nice try . I wasn't born yesterday , you know . +I'm dead serious . They've decided that it's too small to be a planet , but actually they haven't yet agreed on how big something has to be in order to be a planet anymore . +That sounds crazy . But they can't just change their mind about things like that . +Yes , they can . If you remember correctly , people used to believe that the world was flat . +I suppose you're right . They also used to think that they were so important that the sun revolved around them , not the other way around . +We actually know relatively little about space and the cosmos . +Do you think that we'll one day be able to travel to another planet for a vacation ? +I suppose we could actually live on a planet outside of the milky way . +Do you think we'll ever get to meet an alien from outer space ? +I hope not . I think they would be a threat to those of us that lived on the Earth . +You're so old-fashioned . That's what people used to think about people from another country ! +Point taken . Hopefully one day , we'll live in an interplanetary society . +You're just left school , haven't you , Emily ? +Yes , I finished last Friday . +You sound relieved . +Well , yes . I don't mind admitting that I am . I enjoyed school , but I did object to having to go in every day once we've done all our exams . +Well , what are you going to do now ? Have you made any plans ? +Yes , I intend to go to university . That'll be in September . But it all depends on my A level results . +You mean getting into university actually depends on your passing your A level subjects ? +Oh , yes . +I noticed your absence in class this morning . +I'm sorry , I overslept . +Hello , Jack here . +Hello , Jack . It's Mary . What are you doing in your office ? +I am working . I often work late on Thursdays . I am busy this week . +Would you like to come and have dinner with us on Friday ? +Tomorrow ? No , I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to . I'm going out of the town on business . +What about Saturday ? +Sorry , I never go out on Saturday evening . I always watch football on Saturday evening . +Will you come round next Tuesday ? +Next Tuesday ? Just a moment ! It will be the 21st of May . Oh , dear . Arm ... I promised my aunt I would be at her birthday party . +What do you say to next Wednesday then ? +Let me see . Yes , Mary . Let's make it next Wednesday . +Ok . Bye . +Bye . +It's snowing outside . +Oh , how could it be ? +Let's go out and have a look . +OK . Wait a minute . +Look at the snow , it's so beautiful . +Yes . It's really snowing . +I love winter , I love snow . +But don't you think it's a little too cold ? +But I like cold more than hot . +You are so interesting . +How often do you have English lessons ? +I have a lesson once a week but I try to practice every day . +How do you practice ? +I usually look at English language websites every day and go to my local English Corner twice a week . +Do you ever speak to native speakers of English ? +Sadly , I hardly ever speak to English people . I usually practice with my Chinese friends . +What happened to that girl you were seeing ? +Oh Jackie ? We broke up last week . +That was a short relationship . You only started dating 2 months ago . +It was actually a long two months . She was a psycho . +What do you mean ? +She would be laughing one moment , and if I said something insensitive , she would start crying . I didn't want to deal with that . +She sounds very emotional . +She was a psycho , man . One time we were suppose to get together . I was waiting for her call , and when she finally called , she was screaming why I wasn't at her place . +Were you suppose to be there ? +I thought she was going to call when she was done shopping . It was a misunderstanding . She was literally screaming on the phone over this . +Ok . You're right . She's a psycho . +I'm just glad it's over . +Adam . I ’ m sorry . +Where have you been , Alice , you're over an hour late . +Yes , But I couldn ’ t help it . I was late getting off work for a start and then I miss the bus . The bus I did catch that stuck in the traffic jam . It was one thing after another . +why ere you getting off work so late ? The office close at six , doesn ’ t it ? +Yes . But those are the rush in that moment . And my boss ask me to do some urgent letters . +Didn ’ t you tell him you have an appointment ? +Well , no . I thought I ‘ Ve finish in five minutes . and I didn ’ t want to be difficult about just few minutes , if I hadn ’ t been missing the bus and in the traffic I wouldn ’ t have been so late . I ’ m sorry . +Well . You ’ re here . +How was the movie last night ? +I didn't really like it . +Mary said that she was really pleased with the photography . +I found it very disappointing . +She liked the acting , too , because that's what she wanted to see . +I wasn't happy with it . +Nothing is to your satisfaction . +I'm busy year in and year out , but now I've done nothing . +You've done a lot , my darling ! +I may have done a lot , but none is to my satisfaction . +You're too strict with yourself . +Perhaps . I'm dead tired . +Would you like to come to our party ? +I'd like to . But I'm not myself today . +What happened ? You look so pale . +It's the end of the world for me . +What makes you say that ? +Today , I'm told I failed three courses . +Oh , that's too bad . Work harder next term . +B :: I'm such a fool that duplication of effort is only a waste time to me . +Don't lose heart . Everything will be fine . +I hope so . +What do you think of the lawyer's speech ? +He has a glib tongue . Few people can argue him down . +Don't believe him . He's liar . +We cannot expect a man like him to speak the truth . +hey , the new SOHO . How's everything going ? +everything's great . I've just returned from my office . +your office ? Aren't you a freelancer ? +sure I am . I work for myself , but I've rented a virtual office at an office building in the downtown area . +a virtual office ? +yeah , an office that runs efficiently by using nothing other than online communication technologies . I pay the rent and share office services with others in the same building . +what kind of services do they offer ? +a separated office , internet access , phone services , fax services , mail & courier services , and almost everything you have in a conventional office . +sounds fun.what else ? +I get a business address at an expensive location , and I can share the receptionist and secretary with other offices in the same floor . +oh , that helps a lot to promote your corporate image . +you bet it ! +I just love your hair that way . +Thanks . +Where did you have it done ? +My sister did it . When did you get yours cut ? +Just yesterday . I'm still getting used to it . +Well , it looks very nice . +Thanks . +That was a great party . Thanks for staying behind to help me clear up . +It certainly was a great party . It ’ s a pity that a glass and a plate got broken and someone spilled a drink over here . +I expected that something might get broken . That doesn ’ t bother me . That spilled drink won ’ t leave a stain , will it ? +I doubt it , I'll deal with it right away . Luckily it wasn ’ t a glass of red wine , I ’ ll just get a bowl of water and a cloth . +I ’ m going to put all the rubbish into this big plastic bag . +Afterwards , we can do the washing up together . Everything will be finished within an hour . Your friend Keith is really funny . I liked his magic tricks . +Yes , he ’ s very good .. isn ’ t he ? He told some funny stories too . +Amanda told some very funny jokes . At the beginning of the party , she was being very serious . +I think that she had a litter too much of the punch . +What did you put in that punch ? It tasted great , but was quite strong . +That ’ s my little secret . Did you like the snacks that I prepared ? +Very much . The birthday cake was delicious , wasn ’ t it ? Emily told me that she and karen made it themselves . +That cake tasted so good ! It disappeared within minutes , so I think everyone liked it a lot . How ’ s that stain ? +All cleaned up . Are you ready to start on the washing up ? +Mom , this is your third bowl of rice ! +I know but I have no choice . My stomach just keeps crying for more and more . +Why ? I never saw you eat so much before . +I've been going to the gym these days . The exercise makes me hungry all the time . +So your stomach is the one that actually gets a lot of work-out . +Don't pull my leg . +This way you'll probably put on more weight . Will you give up ? +Surely not . I can feel the results . I'm starting to feel different now . +Then how are you gonna deal with the problem of getting extra weight ? +I'm planning to meet my personal trainer to have the work-out plan fixed . +Oh , I've got an idea . Why don't you ask Dad to go with you ? He badly needs some exercise . +Your father is a bit too timid . He even doesn't know how to introduce himself . +He can just say , I'm Benjamin . I'm new and shy . +Girl , don't make fun of your Daddy . But I can introduce him to my personal trainer . Maybe one day he will be a fitness freak instead of a cough potato . +Who knows ! +Look , Bob . This is a photograph I took during my trip to Australia . +Let me see it , can I ? This is a good photograph . Who are these people ? +They ’ re people I met during the trip . That ’ s the ship we traveled on . +What a beautiful ship ! Who ’ s this ? +That ’ s the man I told you about . Remember ? +Ah yes . The one who offered you a job in Australia . +That ’ s right . +Who ’ s this ? +Guess ! +It ’ s not you , is it ? +That ’ s right . I grew a beard during the trip , but I shaved it off when I came home . +Why did you shave it off ? +My wife didn ’ t like it ! +Hey , Jack ! Is Jenny coming with us ? +Yes . Why ? +Nothing . I am just asking . +Just asking ? ! Why is your face burning like mad ? Ah-huh , someone has a crush on Jenny , doesn't he ? +Who has a crush ? +Come on , Ted ! Don't be such a chicken . If you like her , you ’ Ve got to tell her . Maybe she likes you . +Well , I don't have the guts to ask her out . +What are you so afraid of ? Just tell her what you are feeling about her . +I ’ d totally die if she turned me down . +But that's better than keeping everything to yourself . You ’ Ve got to let her know . Come on ! You ’ Ve got to take a chance . Even though you are rejected , it ’ s not the end of the world . There ’ s nothing to lose , is there ? +I don't know .. Well , maybe you are right , but how am I gonna tell her ? +Susan has got the cancer of stomach . +How terrible ! This is quite unexpected ! +Yesterday when I went to hospital to see her , you cannot imagine how greatly surprised when I saw her . +What happened ? +Because of atomic cocktail and other medicines , all of them have the side effect . she has lost all her hair . +Shall I punch out for you , Ross ? I am leaving now . +No , thanks . I have got to work overtime . +But today is Friday . You are not going to work overtime on Friday evening , are you ? +Well , I am . I'll have to finish this report for next Monday's meeting . Is Tom coming to pick you up ? +No . We ’ ll meet at my house . He invited my family to spend the weekend with his family at their villa . +That's nice . Where is his villa ? +It's not his villa , but his father's . I think it's somewhere in Florida . I am not sure myself . +Sometimes I envy you a lot . Tom is a good guy . +Come on . You just haven ’ t met the right person and I think that you work too much . You should learn how to entertain yourself and enjoy life . +I know , but I am a work maniac . +Well , suit yourself . I've got to run now . +Have a nice weekend . +You too . Oh , I forgot to tell you one thing . A girl called this afternoon . She said she was your ex-girlfriend . She wanted you to call her back . +Did she mention anything else ? +No , nothing else . See you Monday . +See you . +Are we going to have gym class tomorrow ? +Are you crazy ? Tomorrow's Saturday . +Sometimes I forget that we don't have school on Saturdays . +Americans also don't go to work on Saturdays . +So there are only five working days in a week ? +Right . What are you going to do tonight ? +I'm going to study . +On a Friday night ? +Well , I need to polish up my English . +Thanks a million . +Don't mention it . +Jacob , are you interested in helping me out and going on a blind date with a friend of mine ? +That depends . What does she look like ? +Well , she's got a beautiful face and long curly red hair . +How tall is she ? +She's fairly tall , maybe 2 inches taller than me . +Is she chubby ? +Not at all . She's actually very athletic . +It sounds like she's pretty good-looking . Does she wear glasses ? +No , but she does wear contact lenses . +How's her skin ? +She's got a gorgeous complexion with a few freckles on her nose . +Does she have any piercings or tattoos ? +I think she has her ears pierced and she definitely has a few tattoos , one on her lower back , one on her neck , and one on her left foot . +What's the tattoo on her foot like ? +It's a butterfly---everyone in her family has one . +Even her mother ? +Yes , even her mother . +What's her personality like ? +She's a lot like me . +So there is something wrong with her ! It was beginning to sound like she was too good to be true ! +Good morning , Jason . How did you sleep ? +Pretty well , thanks . Still feeling the effects of jet lag a bit , but last night I got at lease six hours of rest . +Great ! So , are you ready for a full day of shopping ? +Yep . Let's do it . I'm pretty excited ! +I know a place that should be perfect . It's called the China Friendship Shopping Center and it's pretty much like an American mall - except with more variety . You can even buy a live chicken there if you want . +Live chicken ? Thanks , but no thanks . So ... tell me about bargaining . How can I do it like a local ? +Well . I'll be honest and say you'll never be as good at bargaining as a local person . You're a foreigner and the sellers can see that . But ... if you're smart , you can get bargains that are not too far away from the local price . +Cool ! Teach me ! +For starters , you want to do a lot of scouting first . You've got to know what things cost . +Someone told me to go to a convenience store and see how much a soft drink or a tube of toothpaste costs . The idea is that by comparing the prices of those items , you can figure out the relative prices of everything else . +That could be helpful . But when you go into a shopping center ... prices become very flexible . You have to be able to read the market . +I ’ m so relieved that your ankle wasn ’ t broken ! I feel just awful about this whole thing . I wanna make it up to you . Let me take you out to dinner tonight . My treat . +That sounds great ! I ’ d love to ! Here is my address . Pick me up at eight ? +Perfect ! +Thank you for such a lovely evening ! The food was amazing , and I had a great time . +Me too.You look so beautiful tonight ! I wish this night would never end.There ’ s something I have to tell you ... +What is it ? +I woke up today thinking this would be just like any other ordinary day , but I was wrong . A twist of fate brought us together . I crashed into your life and you into mine , and this may sound crazy , but I ’ m falling in love with you , Veronica . +Hey , you ’ re early ! Where ’ s everyone ? +Well ... I told them not to come . I made a reservation just for the two of us . I thought we could have an quiet evening all to ourselves . +Oh ... why ? +Jennifer , there ’ s something I wanna ask you . +Sure . What is it ? +Hmm ... okay , here ’ s the thing . I ’ Ve always seen you as more than just a friend , and I can ’ t take it any more . I know you better than anyone , I know the pros and cons of your personality , I even know what side of the bed is yours ! I think we would be great together , don ’ t you ? +Are you serious ? We ’ Ve been friends for years ! We can ’ t just change that overnight ! +I know ! I never had the guts to tell you ... until today . So , what do you say ? Are you willing to give me a shot ? +I ... I ... +How do you usually spend your time , now that you ’ Ve retired ? +Well , I nearly always get up at dawn . I don ’ t like sleeping in late . The days are longer in summer than in winter , so I get up in summer . I usually do some exercise when I get up . +What do you have for breakfast ? +I usually have cereal , but sometimes I cook a traditional English breakfast . +that sounds nice . How do you spend your mornings ? +I usually do housework in mornings . I go shopping occasionally . I like to do all my shopping in one bag trip to the supermarket . I always drive to the big supermarket in the city center . It takes about 20 minutes to drive there . +How do you spend your afternoons ? +I usually meet some friends and we play sports together or I might spend some time alone on my hobbies . I spend winter evening watching tv , but I spend summer evening at cultural events if I have time . +What do you think of being a secretary ? +I'm not at all keen on that sort of job.It makes me crazy . +How come ? +You have to type all day . +Hey . Steven . You have a large chunk of money , but why do you still live in the old flat , instead of buying a new villa ? +I like to live here and enjoy my neighbors ' company . And I don't think I should waste money just because I have much of it . +But I found you always hate to part with your money . Look at the car you drive ; it's such a junker ! +Oh , the car is old but still in good condition . I just think we should be thrifty , whether you are rich or not . +But ... But ... +But what ? Just remember that thrift is not only a great virtue , but also a great revenue . +Maybe you are right . +Judy , have you ever made out how much money shall we spend ? +Oh , yeah . The total amount is no less than 13,000 RIB , according to our itinerary . +What ? That's too much . +Sit down . I'll show you the list of our financial budget . First of all , it is nearly 4,000 RIB that we should spend in transportation . +Ah , the transportation fee always takes a great part in the budget . +Then we must pay a large amount of money for the hotel . But if we want to save money , we can choose a hotel which is not so good . +Hmm , what I'm fearful of is that the accommodation will also deteriorate once we choose a cheaper hotel . +In that case , we can choose the Youth Hotel . It's a good choice , clean and economic . +Julia , what do you think of the network ? +Network is omnipresent nowadays . It's quite convenient for people . You see , we can download music and information from the Internet ; I can study from it , too . And the most of all , we can compose , send , and receive e-mails . +Yeah , you are right . Internet makes our lives easier . But it's a two-blade sword . +What do you mean ? +I mean Internet brings benefit a lot , but also some disadvantages . For example , many youngsters are addicted to the games and they neglect their study ; or some bad guys steal people's money online , etc . +I agree . But I think although it has some negative effects , on the whole Internet does more good to us than harm . +Yeah , you are right . But we have to know how to make good use of it . +I'm tired . +Well , you've been working on this assignment for five hours . +Yeah , I need to take a break . +Where are you going ? +I'll accompany my wife to the hospital . +What's wrong with her . +She is expecting . +Congratulations to you . +Thank you . +Hi , I ’ m Susan.What ’ s your name , please ? +My name is Zhang Ming.Nice to meet you , Susan . +Where do you come from ? +I come from China.Are you American ? +Yeah , that ’ s right.SO what are you studying ? +Business management +That sounds interesting . +Hi , Alex . How are you doing ? +Just fine , Karen . I ’ m just taking a breather from all this paper work ! +I know the feeling . I ’ m calling to let you know about this new Italian place I found . It ’ s right around the corner . +I ’ ll have to try it . You know how I am about Italian food ! What ’ s the name ? +Have you figured out where you want to transfer to ? +I can ’ t think of where to go . +Where would you like to go to school ? +I really don ’ t know . +You can ’ t think of anything ? +I really like where I ’ m at now . +So , why don ’ t you just stay here ? +That may be what I ’ m going to do . +It ’ s a perfectly good school . +You ’ re absolutely right . +Do you know what you ’ re going to do now ? +I ’ m just going to stay at PCC . +Those guys thought they would never lose . But we finally beat them . And look at them crying now . +The bigger they are , the harder they fall . +I can ’ t believe the cost of apartments in New York City . +Oh , you didn ’ t know that apartments here are considered valuable , even if they are small and crowded ? +Of course I had heard about that , but now I know how expensive it is to rent a place here . +I don ’ t mind paying high rent to live in New York . +Why ? You pay so much for such a tiny space to live . +Yeah , but so what ! I ’ m proud to live in the world ’ s most exciting city . And , the salaries here are the highest in the nation , too . +You see that chick over there ? +The one in the red shirt ? +Yeah . Isn't she hot ? +She's alright . +Just alright ? ! ? She's hot ! +Why don't you go talk to her ? +You think she's out of my league ? +Hell no ! You're just a chicken that's all . +C'mon . I get nervous when I talk to girls . +Why don't you go stand next to her for a while and if an opportunity comes up , strike a conversation . +What do I talk about ? +It doesn't matter . You gotta find what she's interested in and go with that . +I don't know ... +Do you want me to go talk to her ? +No . Stay away from her . +If you don't do anything , I'll bet somebody else will . +Ok already . I'll try . +How about a movie tonight ? +It doesn ’ t matter to me . +Does 7 o'clock suit you ? +Either way . I don ’ t care . +How about a snack after work ? +I couldn ’ t careless . +Would you rather stay home ? +Whatever you say . +Are you really interested in doing something ? +I don ’ t mind if you want to . +Have you ever played Making ? +Not really , but I know it is very popular a traditional Chinese gambling game . +Yes , some friends play it all day , all night , and sometimes a whole weekend . I tried to read about some basic rules online , but it is hard to understand . So I went to watch people play yesterday only to find I was even more confused . I think I have to work hard on those rules and more learning by doing . Practice makes the master . +Typical Francis , whether you are at work , or engaged in leisure time activities , you always show the same eagerness and curiosity to learn something new and improve yourself . +It is important to keep your mind up-to-date and active . +Thank you for showing me your offices , Mr . Becker . I can see why Washington bureaucrats enjoy their jobs . +Why do you say that ? +The city is beautiful , the off ... , the offices are modern and comfortable , and the work is so interesting . +Many people work for the federal government their entire adult lives . Government service can be a rewarding and secure career . +Do you mean financially rewarding ? +Well , many positions pay salaries that are comparable to those in private industries . +I ’ Ve always thought that most bureaucrats are lazy . +Sometimes that ’ s true , but not usually . Most feds are honest , hard-working professionals . It ’ s hard to keep highly trained people , so the pay and working conditions have to be attractive . +How much do you make ? +I ’ m a GS - 15 . That ’ s high on the scale of workers , but even a GS - 1 is paid a living wage . +Do you have any idea for this vacation ? +Why don't we spend this vacation earning our tuition ? +Oh , yeah , let's try to find some jobs . +OK . +Is this Mr.Smith ' s residence ? +Yes , it is . +My name is Paul.Is Mr.Smith in ? +Yes , he is . +Mary , how was your date with John ? +It ’ s OK . It seems we have a lot in common . +Oh , really ? That is great news . What does he look like ? +He is tall and slim , fair-haired . +Sounds like he is pretty cute . What do you think of him ? +He is a nice guy and very considerate . I am impressed with how smart and humorous . +Oh , it ’ s love at first sight . +So click here , then up to the top . +Er ... Hum ... Got it . +Then open that window.Yeah , that one . +Right ! +And that's it . You're done . +I see what you mean . That was pretty easy after all . +Sam , we are hard up for the everyday expenses . When can you find a job . +I'm looking for it , but you see , the market shard for jobs , too . +You liar , I saw you again in the inn . I bet you don't want to work at all . +I immigrated here last year . +What do you do ? +I am an engineer in a mechanized farm . +I really should be on my way . +Oh , not yet . At least have one for the road . +No , thanks all the same . +Well , I am sorry you have to leave so early . +Thank you very much . We really had a good time . +Well . Thank you for coming . +So see you . +Bye . +I hear your daughter graduated from high school as the valedictorian . +Thank you . +Where is she going to college ? +She has been admitted to Yale with a scholarship . +Really ? That's the icing on the cake . Congratulation again ! +Thank you . +Hey Jackie . What are you doing ? +Nothing much . I'm just relaxing today . Why ? What's going on ? +I was thinking about heading to the mall . Do you want to go ? +Are they having a sale ? +Yeah . Both Bon and Nordstrom's is having there annual sale . It's a great time to buy some clothes you've been holding out on . +That sounds great . Where should we meet ? +I'll meet you in front of Nordstrom's in 30 minutes . +Sounds good . See you there . +What do you think about these shoes ? +They're cute . But do you think you'll wear them much ? +No . Not really . +This sweater is so pretty . I love the low neck design . +I bet it's expensive . +It's on sale for $ 80 . What do you think ? Should I try it on ? +For 80 bucks it looks great . Go try it on . +It ’ s so relaxing , taking a walk in the country . The air is so fresh and clean . +Would you like to live in the country ? I ’ m not sure I ’ d like it . +I can see a lot of advantage and disadvantage . The problem is that , for me , each advantage has its own disadvantage . +What do you mean ? +Well , I hate the noise in the city , but I love being around lost of people . The problem is that you can ’ t have lots of people and have peace and quiet . The tow just don ’ t go together . +I see what you mean . I love being far away from a city , but I hate being so far away department stores and sports facilities . +People can ’ t have it both ways . If you live in the country , it is often less convenient . If you live in a city , it is noisy , buy there ’ s more to do . +I would love to be surrounded by hills and streams . They ’ re so much better to look at than concrete , rows of parked cars and tall buildings . +I would love to hear the birds singing and feel the fresh breeze on my face . When the wind blows in the city , you get dust in your mouth and in your eyes . +The view from the hill is so beautiful and relaxing . There ’ s so sign of pollution . The village looks so peaceful . +Just remember that in that village there ’ s nothing to do . There ’ s not even a pub or restaurant . There ’ s just one small shop with a poor selection of goods . +You ’ re right . I would have to travel to the city at least once a week to go shopping and see friends . I would hate living in the country ! +I want to leave the motorbike outdoors . +Fine , just don't do it at night . +Why not ? +The cold weather will damage the engine . +You want to go with him ? +Yes ? +Then you must be off your head . He is a real bastard . +how's it going ? +I'm in a really good mood , actually . How about you ? +to be honest , I'm a bit fed up . +what's wrong ? +well , my boyfriend was supposed to call me last night , but he never did . +that's too bad . I'm sure there's a logical explanation for it . Don't be too upset about it . +the thing is , this isn't the first time he's promised to do something and then didn't . +I see how that can get a bit annoying . +a bit ? I'm extremely annoyed that he didn't phone me when he promised me that he would ! He's such a liar . +so what are you going to do about it ? +I don't know . I've got mixed feelings about it . On the one hand , I really want to end it with him , but on the other hand , I don't want to be without him . +what do you think would make you happier ? +in the long run , I think breaking up with him would make me much happier , but I know that I'll be depressed about it for a few weeks first . +relationships can be confusing sometimes . +what would you do if you were me ? +I'd call him and dump him now ! You deserve better than him ! +Our philosophy teacher is very humorous . +I usually have the wrong notion that he's very serious . +No , not at all.The examples he gives are very interesting . +No wonder when I pass your room , I always hear your laughter . +Bonjour ! +What ? +I said , Bonjour ! +What ’ s wrong with you , Ted ? +I ’ m speaking French . Don ’ t you know anything ? +What ’ s wrong with speaking English ? +Well , I just got back from my language school . We have to speak French all day there . No English allowed ! +What are you doing that for ? +I ’ m trying to learn new skills . It makes me more qualified for a good job . +Good for you . +What have you been up to , Johnny ? +You know-sweeping , scrubbing , washing , drying , waxing , polishing ... +Wow , your grandma's really having a field day with you , huh ? +You got that right ... and my mom's still mad about what we did with the dishes . +You have all the fun , don't you ? +Listen , I'd better get back to the grindstone . +Sure thing , Johnny . Watch out for dishpan hands there , kid ! +I'm scared that she might not come back . +No , I don't think she's that strong-minded . +But she took her luggage away with her . +She will be back soon.You can wait and see . +What time do you have ? +A quarter past five . +I must be off now . I'm pressed for time . +See you . +I really enjoyed tonight's party . Thank you , Sarah . +You're welcome , Bob . It was nice meeting you . +Nice meeting you , too . +My eyes water continuously . Why ? +Perhaps because of the dirty air . +What is there in the air ? +Some poisonous gas . +I can't believe that the air in this city is so dirty . +Yes . I think I won't come here again next time . +So do I . +We waste a vacation . +Maybe you are right . +Who did the stupid thing ? +Maybe it was Dick . +I don't think so . Dick has been on the ball and he never does things like that . +Then it must be a naughty boy who did it . +Rose , the weekend is coming . Let's discuss what we will do . +What about going to the zoo on Saturday and to the park on Sunday ? +Sounds good . But on Saturday there's a football final . +Then , what shall we do on Sunday . +Let me see . We can visit the country . We haven't done that for such a long time . +Good idea . I'll go shopping in one of the department stores nearby . We'll go to the zoo and the park another time . After all , we can put that off . +OK . +I haven ’ t met Bob for years . How is he ? +He has been keeping bach after divorce . +He would have recovered from the stress and got married again . +Once bitten , twice shy . He said he would rather keep bach than to live in disgust . +Daniel , have you ever heard about the wildlife sanctuary ? +Is that different from this kind of zoo ? +Yes , of course . +So tell me about it ! +There are a lot of wild animals in that place , and also some special rules while visiting . +Special rules ? +There , you only have two ways for visiting . +Details ? +On their bus or in your own cars , and you won't be allowed to get off the bus until you reach the special region . +Why not ? +Because it is dangerous to get out of the car or bus . You can just imagine how fierce the wild animals can be . +That makes sense . But that sounds interesting . Is there one in Beijing too ? +Yes . +I prefer to go there next time . +Yeah , sure , you won't be disappointed . +What subject do you like best ? +English is my favorite . +No wonder your English is so good . +Thank you . +Has the chief accepted our plan ? +Not yet . I guess we should send Jim along to talk to the chief since he is such an apple polisher . I am sure he can help . +Let ’ s have a try . +What are you doing there with your mobile phone ? +I'm moblogging ! +Moblogging ? what does that mean ? +Oh , moblogging is a combination of the word ' mobile ' and ' blogging ' . It's another form of blogging . Users can publish blog entries to the web from a mobile phone or other mobile devices . +Sounds interesting ! That must be very convenient . +Yes , you're right . I can blog wherever and whenever I'm on the move . It's especially good when I'm on a business trip and my laptop happens to be away from me . +How can you do that ? +Well , if I simply want to write a few words , I'll send it by email or edit it all from the cell phone browser . +What if you want to publish some photos ? +Then I'll shoot some pictures , re-size the images and upload them with text descriptions to my blog . +I see . Moblogging must have done a great favor for habitual bloggers like you . +You bet it ! +Wow . Look how polite your son has become . +Yes . We had a big talk with him , and he has really turned over a new leaf . +I don't think much of the film . +But I think it wasn't too bad . +Really ? Do you like the story ? It's sheer nonsense ! +It's exaggerated . Actually this sort of thing happens to everyone . +Excuse me , can you suggest a good book for me to read ? +Yes , they are all on the shelf . +Do you have an English-Chinese dictionary ? +Yes . Here you are . +So , Karen , what do you do in your free time ? +Well , I like to play the piano . +Really ? How long have you been playing piano ? +About 18 years , I started learning when I was a kid . +That ’ s really interesting . you have to play for me some time . +Sure , so , what about you ? Do you have any hobbies ? +Well , I collect beer mats . I ’ m not sure that counts , though . +Why are you laughing ? +I can't help it . +Well , how was your honeymoon ? +It was fantastic ! We had such a good time . The only problem was that because it was their high season , we spent hours queuing . +Peak periods always entail hours of queuing . At least you got a nice tan though ! +Yes , Florida had great weather while we were there . You look tan , too . Did you go somewhere ? +My friends and I just got back from Bali . +Wow ! Bali Islands have some of the best beaches in the world , don't they ? +Yes , we were lucky . My friend's father owns a resort on one of the islands , so we were able to stay for free . +Did you go diving while you were there ? +I took a few diving classes , but I didn't really like it , so I did snorkeling instead ! +Did you take any pictures in the ocean ? +I've got quite a few pictures of all different kinds of fish . I'll show them to you next time I see you . +Have you started planning your christmas vacation yet ? +We're planning on going skiing in Switzerland . Do you ski ? +No , but I do like snowboarding . +Would you like to go skiing with us for christmas ? +I'll talk to my husband about it ; I'm sure he'll say yes ! He loves Switzerland ! +It is Europe's spotless land of lakes and mountains ! Let me know as soon as you can so we can get a discount . +I guess I'd better go now . +I've got to be going now too . +In that case , I'll be seeing you . +See you later . +I ’ Ve just take out an insurance policy . Are you insured ? +Yes , I am . I have life insurance and my home and its contents are also insured . +I took out a life insurance policy and make my wife beneficiary . +That ’ s a good idea . You are a fireman and it can be a dangerous job . +I need to make sure that my wife will be financially secure if I die . +I can terminate my life insurance policy when I retire and use the money as a pension . +That ’ s one of the conditions of my policy too . It covers you if you die before you retire and when you retire . +Did you have to take a medical before you could take out the policy ? +Yes , I did . It was one of the conditions of the insurance policy . The insurance company need to assess the risk . +You look pale , Paul.What ' s wrong ? +I've got a headache . +I'm sorry to hear that.Anything I can do for you ? +No , thank you . I'll take an aspirin and see how it goes . +I can't decide whether to go to university or to get a job . +Well , if I were you , I'd go on studying . +But I don't even know what to study . +If I had chance again , I'd major in English . You're good at language . +That's what my parents want me to do . +You should take their advice . They know what's best for you . +But my friends will have jobs and lots of fun , while I spend all my time doing reading and writing . +But if you go to university , you'll still have time for fun . +Hm , what you say makes sense . But you know , I still have to ask my parents for pocket money , and I hate to do so at this age . +And if you try to find a part-time job , you'll have some money too . +You're right . Thank you for the advice . +Let's program your courses , since you have had English literature , you should take American literature and American prose and fiction . You transcript indicate that your english background is strong , so I don't think you have any problem with it . +How many credits for each course ? +Three , you also should take two three-credit-course in education department . +Thank you , sir , I'm sure I will . +You mean it shuts off to save energy ? +Yep . And it breathes , see ! +It's not breathing ! +Yes , it is . Look at the little light ! It blinks off and on . +Jen , it's not alive ... but it does look user-friendly . +I would look so cool carrying this around ! +The art critic from the daily chronicle doesn ’ t think much of the max oreo exhibition . He says that the artwork is uninspiring and old fashioned . +Really ? I thought the exhibition showed that he had real talent . What did you think of it ? +I liked it . I didn ’ t think his works were masterpieces , but the certainly weren ’ t uninspiring , in my opinion . +I don ’ t think I ’ Ve ever read a good review of an exhibition by that critic . He doesn ’ t seem to like anything . Which kinds of paintings do you prefer ? +I like landscapes and still life . You prefer abstract paintings , don ’ t you ? +Yes , I do . I like painters who use rather than watercolors . The colors appear richer . What do you think ? +I agree . I prefer oils too . I collect landscapes , but I only have a small collection . You have a small collection of abstract art , don ’ t you ? +Yes . Good artwork is very expensive nowadays . When I was in china , I bought some calligraphy by famous artists . You should come and see it sometime . +That would be nice . Can you read the characters ? +I know what the characters on the paintings mean . I think Chinese characters look very artistic . It ’ s said that the way they are written can give insight into the artist ’ s character . +I think that ’ s true with any of the fine arts . +What do you like to do in your spare time ? +I like taking photos . +Really ? +Yes , look at the photos I took . +They are beautiful . You did a good job . +Thank you for saying so . +As a matter of fact , you are really a terrific photographer . +It's quite cold this early morning , isn't it ? +Yeah . It's already December , you know . +Time sure flies , doesn't it ? +How did you know ? +It was a kind of sixth sense . +Does it happen often ? +No . +Paul failed again . +He'll never do well in mathematics . +How can we help him ? +Well , I can't help . +Hi , Elvin . How are the new programmers I got for you ? +Stay away from me . +Are you still mad about your nose ? How is it ? +I'm serious , Zina . Back off . I have a bottle of pepper spray in my pocket . +That won't be necessary , Elvin . Look , I want to apologize for your nose . I'm sorry . +Why are you being so nice to me ? Don't think for a second that I trust you . +I'm afraid I've got to go . I have another appointment at five . +Do you ? By the way , could you mail this letter for me as you go through the lobby ? +No problem . +Thank you . Come back to my office at the same time tomorrow . I'll have the pictures ready by then . +I will . +Are you a smoker ? +Yes , I'm afraid I am . My husband is a smoker too . +Would you describe yourself as being a heavy smoker ? +No , but my husband smokes twenty or more a day . +When did you begin to smoke ? +I had my first cigarette when I was seventeen . +Might I ask if you have tried to give up smoking ? +Yes , twice . +Hey man ! How ’ s it hanging ? +Hey man ! Everything is just groovy baby ! +Did you go to the roller rink on Saturday ? I heard it was far out , man ! +I wanted to , but I ran into this foxy lady that just moved to my block ! I was chatting her up a bit and then we mellowed out at her place . +Right on , right on ! Well , Jim went to the rink with Sherry and he said it was dy-no-mite ! He was low on bread , but Sherry paid for everything . +Gravy ! Jim is such a jive turkey man . He is always hitting me up for cash . Anyway , you wanna book and go grab some grub ? +Yeah man , I ’ m starving ! +Are you a newcomer ? +Yeah , this is my first visit here . +You speak good English , though . +Thanks , but I speak English with a strong German accent . +But let me tell you , you're doing just fine . I couldn't do half as well as you do when I was learning German.By the way , how long have you been learning English ? +On and off , for quite a few years . +That's a very nice pair of glasses . +Does it really look OK ? +Yes , and I like the color too . It matches your eyes . +And I got it on sale . +That's incredible ! +I want to take Shield on a date but I don't have much money . +What does she like to do ? +She likes to golf , dance , and eat foreign food . +Hmm . Sounds like she has pretty pricey tastes . +Well , I really like being with her . +Have you thought about going Dutch ? +Dutch , where's that ? +Not where , what . Dutch means you both pay your own way . +Oh . I wonder if she'll go for that . +Do you know his sister ? +Her name is Laura , isn't it ? +That's right . +How old is she ? +Um ... let me see now , is it 18 or 19 , I can never remember ... 18 ... 19 next birthday . Tthat's it . +What does she look like ? +Well ... +Pretty , is she ? +Yes ... quite pretty . +Are you free tomorrow , Sam ? +Yeah , what's up ? +I'm going to go hiking . Do you want to join me ? +I like to stay here . +Why ? +People are very kind down your way . You ’ re lucky . +Yes , do you always gather to welcome new comers ? +Never . +Really ? +Yeah . People down our way hardly speak to each other . +You are studying here , aren ’ t you ? +Yes . I have been here for three years . +Do you like this campus ? +Well . I ’ m rather disappointed with it . +How come ? +It ’ s too old . And it isn ’ t as specious as I expected . +Oh.It ’ s awful , but it can ’ t be helped . +I ’ ll just have to put up with it . +Why don't you go out with Jack ? +He makes me sick . +Wow ! What happened to you ? You look sad . +I just lost my job . My boss just told me . +That's unbelievable . Why did this happen ? +I don't understand of myself . It seems they have to save money . +I cant't believe it . You've worked here for years . +How can I lose weight , doctor ? I seem to get fatter even when I just look at food ? +Well , Jim . It is a combination of how much you eat , the type of food you eat , and when you eat your meals . +I never eat breakfast though . +That's a big mistake , you should always have a good breakfast . You will not run your car without fuel , and yet you won't expect your body to work without food . +I never thought about it that way . +I bet you eat a large evening meal , then sit and watch TV or read a book . Then instead of burning off your energy , your body stores it as fat . +Oh doctor , I feel so foolish . +Well control is really using common sense when you plan your eating habits . +I know doctor , thank you so much . +I think the biggest environment problem in my country is air pollution . +Yes , I agree . The air here is much more polluted than in my country . +That's because your country is more agricultural and has much less industry . +Yeah , you are right . +We have reduced emission of air pollutants in recent years , but cars are still a major source of them . Factories have become cleaner as stricter environment pollution laws have been introduced . +The problem is now on a truly global scale . I don't believe that any single country can do anything about it . +I think you're right . An international response to this problem is needed . +Excuse me , can you tell me where I can take a taxi ? This is the first time I have been in England , so I don't know where I can do at all . +Of course.Don ' t worry . I'll call one for you . +Thank you very much , by the way , is it quite expensive to take a taxi ? +Yes , besides it versa according to the distance . +All right . I only hope to get a skillful driver , and drive me to my stop safe way . +No problem . +Thanks a lot , bye bye . +You are welcome , bye . +Whose handset sounds so beautiful +Mine . It's My Heart Will Go On , the theme song of Titanic . Isn't it of strong character ? +Are you able to compose music ? +No , not yet . +Who composed it for your ? +You needn't ask anyone . You can get on line to search for one . +Can I get on line to search one , too ? +Yeah . Web sites provide many melodies for handsets like my ERICSSON . +What about my SIEMENS ? +Numerous . It's time that everybody is particular about personality.Find one and change yours . +I don't know what to do about the people who live in the flat above me ! +Why ? What are they like ? +They're incredibly selfish . They ' re always up until the wee hours of the night playing their music so loudly that I have to wear earplugs in order to fall asleep ! +Have you ever talked to them about it ? +I tried to introduce myself to them when they moved in , but they were so arrogant that I didin't want to ever talk to them again ! +What did they say ? +They both just talk about how great they are all the time . +They soud like the neighbours from hell ! +They are ! Besides being loud and arrogant , they're also terrible gossips . They're always talking about everybody else in the apartment . +I thought you didn't talk to them much . +I don't , but they talk so loudly that I can hear what they're talking about from my bedroom - and it's not very nice . +What do the other people in your apartment think about them ? +Most of my other neighbours are scared of them . +Maybe you should think about moving . +I can't afford to move right now . +Well , perhaps you should have a party and try to get to know them better . Maybe once you get to know them , they'll turn out to be more sensitive . +I think you're being a bit optimistic . If you met them , you'd understand . +Well , I don't know what else you could do then . Do you think bribing them with chocolate would work ? +It's nice and bright today , isn't it ? +Yes , the autumn is marvelous here . +Tomorrow will be fine too , I think . +I hope so . +Susan , I am inviting you and Frank to our house warming party this weekend . +A house warming party ? +Yes , Deborah and I are going to buy a new home in Woodlawn . +Congratulations ! That ’ s wonderful . I bet both of you are quite happy . +Well , we have always dreamed of owning our own home , but real estate in this area is extremely expensive . +I understand . That ’ s why Christopher and I want to find a place in a small town , far from the city . +That ’ s a good idea if you can find employment nearby . +I agree . That ’ s why Christopher is already looking for a job in Maine , or Wisconsin . +Tell me something about your Valentine's Day . +Ok , on that day , boys usually give roses to the sweet hearts and girls give them chocolate in return . +So romantic.young people must have lot of fun . +Yeah , that is what the holiday is for , isn't it ? +How are you doing , Andrew ? +Not well . I ’ Ve been feeling pretty lonely lately . +But you have so many friends ! How could you be lonely ? +You know what they say'a friend to all is a friend to none ' . I don ’ t feel like I really know any of my friends . In fact , I should probably call them acquaintances , not friends . +What about me ? I ’ m your friend . +I know you are , you are my girlfriend . I wish I had a guy friend to hang out with sometimes . +I know what you mean . I find it difficult to make new friends , too . It ’ s not as easy as it was when we were young , is it ? +Not at all . +I ’ Ve made a lot of new friends since I started learning English . Maybe you could join a club or take a class to make some new friends . +That ’ s a good idea . +What kind of qualities do you look for in a friend ? +I ’ m not sure . I guess I ’ d like to meet some people who have a positive attitude and want to have a good time . +People who play ultimate Frisbee have a positive attitude ; maybe you should join the ultimate Frisbee club . +That ’ s a possibility . Thanks ! +He dresses in plain clothes and drives an old car . Who would know he is the richest man in town ? +You can't judge a book by its cover . +Oh , I must have been sitting in the same position too long . My legs have fallen asleep . +Shift it a little before you get up . +And I need to stretch my legs now . +Hey Susan , what are you coming as this year ? +Coming as ? +Yeah ... for Halloween ! We have a big office party tomorrow evening . There's a prize for best costume ! +Um ... I have to confess , I haven't given it much thought . I'm from China and Halloween really isn't celebrated there . +Really ! You don't have some kind of Chinese ghost festival ? +Oh ... Sure . We have an entire month ! In traditional Chinese culture , Ghost Month is a period when the door between this world and beyond opens up and ghosts come back to earth for a visit . +Cool ! A whole month ! What do you do during that month ? +Well , people sometimes set off firecrackers , some people burn paper money as an offering and many people go to a temple to burn incense.Mainly though , you need to feed the ghosts because they're hungry . +Feed them ? +Yeah ... we set up tables with food , fruit and drinks and offer that to the hungry ghosts . +And then later everyone eats the food ? +Yes ! How did you guess that ? +It makes sense , right ? Who else is going to eat it ? +Good Point ! +But no dressing up like ghosts , right ? +No ! So ... is Halloween essentially the same thing as ghost month ? +Hey Annie , who is this picture of ? +Oh , that's my great , great , great , great , great , great , great grandfather . +I think you can say your seventh great grandfather ! Cutie ! What's his name ? +Peter Madsen . A great A if I do say so myself . +Nice pun . What is it you active about him most ? +He loved his family and his countrymen and his freedom . +He looks like a very personable man . +He was . He was friendly toward and showed concern for everyone he met . +Does Tom drink a lot ? +Yes , he does . He often has had one to many . But I advised him not to drink too much , he just boasted that he had hollow legs and nobody had ever drunk him under the table . +That's a problem . He has sort of Dutch courage and that will egg him on in doing anything . +Did you hear ? The state is thinking of legalizing gambling in our city ! Soon we are gonna have amazing hotels and casinos here which will be good for our business ! +Are you serious ? Gambling is a vice industry built on deception and fed by the intentional exploitation of human weakness for the sole purpose of monetary gain ! It disgusts me . +What are you talking about ? How does it exploit people ? +Well , to begin with , Gambling is addictive , ruins marriages , destroys families and bankrupts communities . Once you are addicted it is very difficult to stop . People have lost their houses , cars and been left out on the street after becoming addicted . Secondly , it exploits because men become addicted to gambling most often because of the action and risk . Women gamble to escape , and senior citizens will start gambling for the social interaction . Underage gamblers often start gambling on sports with friends and then illegal bookies . +Geez ! Now that I think about it , maybe legalizing gambling isn ’ t such a good idea ! Although , I have been to Las Vegas , and I didn ’ t become addicted or anything like that . +You cannot predict who will become addicted to gambling . Now excuse me , I have a protest rally to organize ! +Mr . Rogers ? +Mr . : Yes ? +I'm not feeling too well . +Mr . : Would you like to go to the nurse's ? +Yes , I would . +Mr . : Here's a hall pass for it . Do you need someone to walk you there ? +I can manage on my own . Thanks . +Mr . : I'll drop by later to check on you . +Can you give me a ride back home ? +Sure +Come on in . I am so glad you are here . We have been expecting you . +Am I late for the party ? Looks everyone is already here . Hope I didn ’ t miss something interesting . +No , you are just on time . We haven ’ t really started yet . +Great , here are some flowers for you . I hope you like them . I was not sure if the color will suit your new apartment . +Thank you , they ’ re beautiful . You can hang your coat over there . Try this new couch , it is so comfortable . You will love it . Want something to drink , tea , coffee , juice or Cola ? +Don ’ t bother . I will help myself . +Make yourself at home . +It is such a nice place . +Well , I don ’ t mean to boast but all the designs are done by myself and some colleagues are already trying to copy some of them for their new apartments . Look , they are making photos now of my designed kitchen . +Have you got any plans for the coming holiday ? +Yes , I have a very special one . I will be doing volunteer work in a zoo for two weeks . A friend of mine working there told me the other day that they were in need of some volunteer keepers . I was very interested . So I asked him to get me the application form . Lucky , my application was approved by the manager very soon . +Volunteer in a zoo ? What specific things will you do ? +I will help to prepare food , feed animals and clean up . I ’ m very excited about it now . +It must be a unique experience . I ’ m looking forward to share your story when you come back . +Ok , I will bring you photos as many as possible . +He is planning again . +Yeah . But whatever the planes are , he always has an eye to money . +That is him . +Happy birthday , Alice , here is a little something for you . +Thank you very much , David . It's an excellent birthday gift . +Mike , did you win the lottery or something ? Why the big smile ? +I'm so relieved . I just passed the bar exam . +You did ? That's great ! You must be very happy now ? +That's an understatement . I'm on cloud nine . I couldn't be any happier . +Did you tell your parents yet ? +Not yet . I didn't get a hold of them . I'll try to call them again tonight . +They're probably going to be so happy . +I think so . It's turning out to be a great day . +Where should I park ? +Do you have a car or motorbike ? +I drive a scooter +In that case , you can park either in a student lot or on the street . Are you aware of the marked handicapped spots ? +No , I haven't seen those spots . +The handicapped logo with blue means that you are not to park there unless you have a handicapped permit . Will you mostly be parking during the day or the night ? +I park in the daytime . +Make sure you pay special attention to the street signs with time limits . Have you noticed those signs ? +No , I have not seen the signs . +Pay attention to what the signs tell you in terms of time limits and what days you can park there . Do you know what the curb colors mean ? +No , I don't know what the curb colors mean . +Just remember that red means absolutely no parking and white means loading and unloading only . I think you'll be good to go ! +As we know , mobile phones bring people great convenience and shorten the distance among friends and relatives . +It bears a great many of advantages , but also some weak points . +Is it ? I've never thought of any disadvantages of the mobile phone . +For instance , the mobile phone seriously distracts the attention of people from work and study . +That's true . Some people pay too much attention to their mobile phones . +Actually , it's not the fault of the mobile phone . But people should have a proper attitude towards it . Mobile phone is a tool serving people , not the fetters restricting them . +We'll miss you while you're studying in the United States . +Yeah . I'll miss all of you , too . But I'll keep in touch . +The dinner was really good . It knocked my socks off . +That's very kind of you to say so . Let's try some after-dinner wines . +Great . Sweet wines are my favorite . They always make a great finish to a decisions meal . +Do you prefer brandy or ports . +Port , please . +Excellent choice . I love its smooth flavor . +The port is quite exquisite . It must have spent years aging in barrels . Am I right ? +Yes . You always have a good nose for wines . +Next time we are about to dinner we should try some Canadian ice wine . +Oh , what's that ? +It's made from naturally frozen grapes . +Why not ? It sounds great . +OK , here's to your health . +Thanks . Cheers . +Cheers . +You seem to be unhappy . What happened ? +My mother is ill in the hospital . +What does the doctor say ? +The disease fails to respond to drugs . +Good evening , sir . What can I do for you ? +Bourbon , please . +How would you like your Bourbon , straight or on the rock ? +With iced water , please . +Here you are , sir . Bourbon with iced water . +Thank you . Now how much do I owe you ? +The bourbon is 15 dollars plus 10 % service charge . So the total is 16.5 dollars . +That is OK . Here is 20 dollars and you can keep the change . +Thanks a lot . +Jack's been looking unhappy lately . +His girlfriend broke up with him . +No wonder ! I'd be unhappy , too . +I've just got the examination results . I am afraid you haven't passed . +Oh , no ! I can't have failed . surely ? +I am afraid so . I am terribly sorry ! +Whatever am i going to tell me parents . +Don't worry about that , I am sure they will understand . After all , it was a very difficult exam . +What am I to do ? +You can always take it again . +Three other people started to bid . One called himself Buddhabuyer , so I knew he meant business . I raised my bid twice , but it kept going up . +How high did the price go ? +I don't know . I dropped out at $ 250 . +You didn't watch the end of the auction ? +No . It wasn't the super bargain I thought it was . +more and more Chinese are marrying foreigners . +that's true . But I have a low opinion of those women who go out with foreigners . +oh , why ? +I think some Chinese wone marry foreigners for money while others just want to live abroad . There is no true love between them . +I wouldn't say that's totally true . I've met many happy intercultural couples . +well , then why aren't there many East-West couples where the man is a Chinese and the woman is a Westerner ? +I guess it's because the Chinese women are more attractive to Western men . +or because they are less attractive to to Chinese men . +what do you mean ? +you know , usually the woman is in her thirties and she is a left girl . +a left girl ? What's that ? +they're called that because they're left behind on the shelf . They're also known by their three H's---high diploma , high salary , and high degree . and they're also known as the three S's — single , +you have a point here , but I believe some mixed marriages are based on true love . +that ' for sure but very few . +Our maths teacher is rather humorous . +On the contrary , I think he's very serious . +No , not at all . His examples are really interesting . +So they're easy to remember . +Yeah , how about your maths teacher ? +He's an old antique , very serious . +Bad luck , Anne . +Hey ! How about your history teacher ? +She's another antique . +I'm sorry to hear that . +I enjoy watching Channel 5.They always have films from all over the world . +How about the languages . +I can read the subtitles.My set is a huge-screen one . +That's more convenient . +Happy birthday , Ann . Many happy returns of the day ! Here is a present for you . +Thank you , Peter . Come into the dining room . We are going to cut the cake soon . +Ok , who is that girl ? +That's Cathy . She is pretty , isn't she ? She likes dancing . Ask her to dance . +Well , I don't know . +Don't be afraid . She isn't going to bite you . +Who is afraid ? I am not afraid . +How about having a cup of tea with us ? +All right.That ’ s very nice of you . +Would you like to go to the cinema with me ? +I ’ m sorry I can ’ t make it.Thank you anyhow . +Excuse me , could you tell me where you have got that music book ? +Certainly . Let me see.Oh , it's on that shelf . +It's too high . I can't reach it.Could you help me ? +Of course.Here you are . +Thank you very much . +Let's skip The X-files tonight , Fran . Okay ? Just this once ? +Let me guess . You want to watch the History Channel again ! +How did you know ! There's a program on ancient Egypt tonight . +Well , I guess I could tape The X-files and watch it later ... +Look , it's starting ! +Mysteries of the Pyramids . Didn't we watch this program last week ? +Do you feel like going to see Paul and Claire tonight ? +I'd like that very much . +How does 7:30 sound ? +Fine . See you later . +David , have you watched the 82nd Oscar Awards Ceremony ? Avatar got the Award of Visual Effect . The movie sounds great ! +You are so old-fashioned . I have already watched it last week in cinema . +How was it ? +Its 3D animation is attractive and its colorful scenes are also unforgettable . +It is said that The Hurt Locker got the Award of Best Picture . What do you think about this ? +Well , its theme is moving and profound , so from the academic aspect , this is its advantage to win the award . +Wow ! That's a fantastic movie ! +Yes . I love it , too . +Who was the director ? +I'm not sure , but I think it must be directed by Zhang You . That's typical of him . +the May holiday is coming up soon . Are you planning on going on vacation ? +I am . I just went to the travel agent ’ s and picked up these brochures . +where are you planning on going ? +I fancy going to Tibet for a few days . Have you ever been there ? +I went a long time ago , before they built the new train that can take you there . +would you recommend going there for a few days ? +personally , I think it ’ d be better to go when you have more time . A few days isn ’ t really enough to get acclimatize yourself and to go on a few excursions outside of the capital . +you ’ re probably right . What do you think about Yangshao ? +it ’ s a beautiful city , but I think it ’ s become too touristy . How about going to a cosmopolitan city like Shanghai or Hong Kong ? +I ’ d like to get away from the big city life . +maybe you should consider going to a hot springs resort outside of Beijing . I heard they are very relaxing . +I guess if I only have a few days , I should probably think about going somewhere that isn ’ t far away . +since the May holiday is the high season , you should probably call ahead to reserve a room . Here ’ s the phone number . +thanks ; I ’ ll give them a call later . +What are you worrying about ? +I am worrying about my husband . +Where is he ? Is he in danger ? +You know , he is a taxi driver . He has to have his eyes peeled all the time when he drives , especially during the rush hour . +Guess who I saw yesterday ? +Who ? +My cousin Monk . Have you seen her lately ? +Not for a couple of years . What happened to her ? +Nothing exactly . She's grown into a very attractive young lady . +Oh , she is . +You know , her long lovely blond hair and beautiful blue eyes really make her stand out from others . +Not surprising . I bet she's very tall and slim . +Yean . Around five feet five inches tall . +I'd like to talk with you again about what happened . +Oh , come on . Let's not beat a dead horse . +What type of movies do you like ? +I like all sorts of movies , primarily drama and science fiction . +That's an interesting combination . How about western movies ? +Western and horror are the two types of movies I don't care for . +Why don't you like horror ? They're entertaining . +Some are entertaining , but I find most of them stupid and childish . For example , I don't understand why a person always goes into the house alone when something is suspicious . +Ha ha . I know what you mean . But it's just a movie . They need for the characters to do that . +Well , you seem to enjoy speaking English . +You can't help learning when you're using it all day . You'll see . A few weeks'study in the school will have a similar effect on you . +I hope so . You see , at the moment I find it difficult to get used to the teacher's speed and accent . I'm awfully worried , I can't reply as quickly as she seems to expect . +Oh , she likes keeping us on our toes by getting us use English throughout the class . She doesn't mind your making mistakes , though . +You know , speaking in class is a very good chance to put your English to practical use . +Hey , your Chinese is coming along ! +You think ? +Yeah . It ’ s a lot better than mine . +But I still get stuck on the different tones . It drives me crazy . +Hang in there . It ’ ll all come together one of these days . +Tom , you're my good friend , right ? +Sure . What's the matter with you ? +The exam ! The terrible exam ! I'm not ready yet . Can you tell me how to get good marks ? +Don't be so nervous ! Relax ! First , sleep early at night . Second , study two hours a day after school . Third , don't tire yourself out , but don't be lazy . Will that help ? +Yes , thank you . +Alison , would you like to have some more ? +No thanks . I've had enough . +Actually you haven't had much . +To tell you the truth , I am on the diet . +That sounds ridiculous . Why ? +Well , I am gaining weight these days , and I have to watch my calories . +I feel that Bob ’ s father-in-law is a hard nut to crack . +You have taken words out of my mouth . He is a tough customer . +But his daughter is a very nice girl . +Look ! There are playing The Matrix today . +You are right , look at the crowd . Do you think we will be able to get tickets ? +I don't know . If we can't , we can buy from ticket scalpers . +No way . I'd rather go to another movie house . +Come on . We are already here . Besides , I really wanna see this picture . +All right . Let's see when the next movie is playing ? +Seven thirty . There is only 10 minutes left and look at the long line ! +Shall we take a chance ? +Yeah , let's do so . +It's moving so slow . +What can you expect with this crowd ? I am praying that no one will cut in the line . +I don't think anyone will . +I hope not . We are getting closer .. two more ... one more ... it's our turn . +Don't cover up your sadness . Let it go . +I'm sorry . +It isn't your fault . No one will blame you . +You are so thoughtful . +I've been told that you are a very successful businessman abroad . I wonder how you managed to achieve such success ? +Oh , through a lot of hard work , of course . +I suppose that in a foreign country it was difficult at first , wasn't it ? +Surely it was , especially when you only knew few people and little English . +You mean you didn't know much English then ? +Right . I only knew a few English sentences . +That's incredible . Could you tell me what you did to make a start ? +First , I worked as a servant . +Really ? I wish you could tell me more about your experience . +I'd like to , but I must run to a meeting . +Hey , Mike . Can I ask you something ? +Sure , what's up ? +I'm going to gamble on the world cup tonight . Who do you think will win ? +Good question . I have to think about it . +My husband is betting on France . +France ? Is he crazy ? +What do you mean ? +Well , how can I put this ? France is a terrible team . +Good afternoon , sir . You are really a regular customer here . May I ask you why you come here so often ? +I'm a newspaper columnist . I write comments for a living . I enjoy working in a coffeehouse . +I see . But isn't it a bit too noisy ? +I don't mind . By contrast , I quite like the circumstances , as I can see a variety of people here , who can always give me tremendous inspiration . And the most important thing is coffee as it is my life . +I can see that . Then what is your favorite coffee ? +Irish coffee is my favorite . But I can drink any other . I'm not particular on it . +All right . Would you make coffee yourself when you are at home ? +Not very often . Making coffee is a bit troublesome . Most of the time , I just buy takeout at Starbucks . And also , I quite like instant coffee . +I think instant coffee is becoming more and more popular . Though its taste is not perfect , it's really cheap and convenient . +Exactly . Nescafe is the world's favorite coffee . People love it all over the world ? +Which country makes the best coffee in the world ? +Many people think Brazil makes the best coffee . Brazil exports a lot of coffee . But I love Irish coffee . So it's hard to say . Just depends on your taste . +I agree . I heard in the western countries , almost everyone likes coffee . Is that true ? +Yes . No doubt about that . For us , coffee is more a living style rather than a simple drink . I heard Chinese people don't drink that much coffee . +No , we don't , especially the old people . But more and more young people fall for coffee . +I suppose so . That's probably why there are so many wonderful coffeehouses in China now . +Why are there still so many people overweight despite the current fitness craze ? +Well , there are certain factors that effect people's size and weight . +What are they ? +One study said that low-income groups have a higher percentage of over-weight people than higher income families . +Why ? +The survey said that the low , income groups eat more junk food on a daily basis . +That makes sense . Probably less time to make dinner and the junk food is cheaper . +And junk food contains lots of fat and oil . There is one final reason why so many people are fat . +What's that ? +Nobody exercises any more-not even kids ! The average American home has the TV on for 6 hours a day ! +Wow ! No wonder people are so fat . Say , Carl , looks like you could be doing a bit more exercising . +Yeah , I guess so . +You should consider eating healthier food and getting some more exercise . +Hey , I started a diet and lost 10 pounds . +So what happened ? +Well , I quit and gained it back plus 5 pounds . +You should have kept trying . +Merry Christmas , Lily . +The same to you , Joey . +This is your first Christmas in the US . Here is the gift for you . +It's very thoughtful of you . Wow , it is so beautiful . Could you tell me how American people celebrate Christmas ? +Ok . People decorate their houses , place a Christmas tree in the room and maybe sing a Christmas carol together . +Hey , Cindy , I'm so sorry about yesterday . I shouldn't have yelled at you in front of everyone . +Don't worry about it . +I don't know what happened to me . I just lost it . +I think you just need to get more sleep . +Yeah , you're right . Good night . +Jack and Mary broke up . +it ’ s so sad . They had been together for only two months . Do you know what the matter was ? +Mary said Jack was cheating on her . Jack was seeing a girl from his hometown . One day , Mary saw them holding hands and ended the relationship immediately . +really ? I ’ m very surprised . He doesn ’ t look like a guy who ’ d ever do that sort of thing , right ? +no , he doesn ’ t . Anyway , she found out that he had been two-timing her for a long time . +maybe it is for the best . They are not suitable for each other because they have nothing in common and are completely different people . +how so ? +he is an extrovert while she is an introvert . He likes parties while she hates them . +poor Mary ! She really liked him . +anyway , she was right to end things and she deserves better . +do you think they ’ ll get back together ? +no , I don ’ t think so . I know Mary . Once she makes a decision , she won ’ t change her mind . +I hope she ’ ll recover soon . +so do I . +Look , my clothes are wet . +Mine are wet , too . +Unexpectedly , a girl threw a bucket of water on me . +She wished good luck to you . +The Dai people are enthusiastic . +Yes . +Did you hear about Bob and Mary ? +No , what happened ? +They had an argument and split up . +Really , what's going to happen now ? +Nick ! How ’ s it going ? +Oh , hey ... +What are you doing in this neighbourhood ? Do you live around here ? +Actually , my office is right around the corner . +It was great to meet you last week at the conference . I really enjoyed our conversation about foreign investment . +Yeah , yeah , it was really interesting . You know , I'm in a bit of a hurry , but here ’ s my card . We should definitely meet up again and continue our discussion . +Sure , you still have my contact details , right ? +You know what , this is really embarrassing , but your name has just slipped my mind . Can you remind me ? +Sure , my name is Ana Ferris . Don ’ t worry about it . it happens to me all the time . I ’ m terrible with names too . +Hello everyone ! I ’ m Rick Fields , and here with me is Bob Copeland . +Howdy folks , and welcome to today ’ s game ! You know , Rick , today is a key game between Russia and Canada . As you know , the winner will move on to the finals . +That ’ s right , and it looks like we ’ re just about ready to start the match . The ref is calling the players for the face-off ... and here we go ! The Russians win possession and immediately set up their attack ! Federal gets checked hard into the boards ! +Maurice Richard has the puck now , and passes it to the center . He shoots ! Wow what a save by the goalie ! +Alright , the puck is back in play now . Pavel Bure is on a breakaway ! He is flying down the ice ! The defenders can ’ t keep up ! Slap shot ! He scores +What an amazing goal ! +What's the matter , Lisa ? You don't look too good . +I just found out that my husband is cheating on me . +You mean Mark ? He seems like such an honest guy . +That's what I thought . It seems that he's been seeing someone else for about two months . +Two months ? How did you find out ? +I asked for leave and was at home when the telephone rang . I picked it up and a girl asked to talk to Mark . She then asked if I was his sister , and I said no , I was his wife . She hung up immediately . +So you asked him about the girl who called ? +Yeah , he first said it was someone from work . He gave me a lame excuse , and so I pressed him on it . +What'd he do ? +He kept trying to make stupid excuses , and then broke down and admitted to a small indiscretion . +What channel did you watch last night ? +Channel 24.It shows some cable networks and no commercial interruptions . +You did ? How do you like the fashion show ? +It was very good . I followed it right to the end . +Sorry to interrupt . Can I have a word with you ? +Certainly.Go ahead . +What are you doing ? +I'm surfing the Net . +Would you travel around the world if you had the money ? +At the drop of a hat . +Hello baseball fans , and welcome back to today ’ s game ! My name is Rick Fields and of course , I am here , once again , with the man that seals the deal , Bob Copeland . +It ’ s a beautiful day to see two world class teams face each other and fight for their right to be called champions . +Well , the national anthem has just been sung , and the umpire has started the game . It ’ s time to play ball ! +Roger Vargas is up at bat . The pitcher winds up and strike one ! +A very nice curve ball by the pitcher . The catcher gives him the sign , he winds up and Vargas gets a line drive ! +The players are scrambling to get the ball . Vargas gets to first base and he ’ s still going ! The outfielder throws it to second ! Vargas slides ! He ’ s safe ! +Great play ! +We have a runner on third and up at bat is Brian Okapi ! There ’ s the pitch , he hits it ! It ’ s going , going , that ball is gone ! +Home run by Okapi ! That puts this team ahead by two as we are at the bottom of the fifth inning here at Richie Stadium ! +So , this is the worst story I ’ Ve heard this month . You have my real sympathy , Tim . +You know , all I was trying to do was tell the truth but they obviously didn ’ t take it that way . +I understand how you feel , but you ’ Ve gotta learn to move on . +Yeah , I ’ m dealing with it . Anyway . Thank you , Mike . +I told you that she is no fool . +I know she is quite an article , but I was not sure of her ability to cope with a boss . +She cannot get in Dutch with him . He is her boss , you know . +But most bosses are fools for woman . +Hey , Ann , I am really sorry about last night . I shouldn't have said those things to you . +I am sorry too . I know we've been talking about this beach trip for a while . I should have told Bob I was busy this weekend . +don't be silly . You guys should spend as much time together as you can . Besides we can go to the beach anytime . +thanks for understanding . +well that's what being friends is about , isn't it ? +hey , what if the three of us go to the beach together ? Besides , you and Bob haven't seen each other for a while . I don't want my best friend and my boyfriend to be complete strangers . +Nah , I wouldn't worry about that . But I don't want to be the third wheel . You two should have some quiet time to yourselves . +I know Bob won't mind . You can bring a date , like that guy from the bar you keep talking about . +maybe ... I'll think about it . +Hello , Jill . +Tom , You're back , come in please.How are you ? +Fine , only a little tired . +You'll recover after a good night's sleep . +Thank you very much for looking after my house in my absence . +That's all right.Would you have a cup of coffee ? +Yes , Please.It ' s very kind of you . +Don't mention it . +The rooms are very tidy and the flowers grew very well.You are very helpful . I want to thank you for everything you've done for me . +It's my pleasure . +I bought you some books on literature , I don't know if you would like them . +Thank you.Thank you for the trouble you've taken . +Not at all . +Jack and Mary broke up . +It ’ s so sad . They had been together for only two months . Do you know what the matter was ? +Mary said Jack was cheating on her . Jack was seeing a girl from his hometown . One day , May saw them holding hands and ended the relationship immediately . +Really ? I ’ m very surprised . He doesn ’ t look like a guy who ’ d ever do that sort of thing , right ? +No , he doesn ’ t . Anyway , she found out that he had been two-timing her for a long time . +Maybe it is for the best . They are not suitable for each other because they have nothing in common and are completely different people . +How so ? +He is an extrovert while she is an introvert . He likes parties while she hates them . +Poor Mary ! She really liked him . +Anyway , she was right to end things and she deserves better . +Do you think they ’ ll get back together ? +No , I don ’ t think so . I know Mary . Once she makes a decision , she won ’ t change her mind . +I hope she ’ ll recover soon . +So do I . +I wish you wouldn't play the TV so loud . +Sorry . Were you trying to sleep ? +Yes , please ask when you want to borrow my records next time . +I'm sorry . You're right . I should have asked . +So , Karen , what do you do in your free time ? +Well , I like to play the piano . +Really ? How long have you been playing piano ? +About 18 years , I started learning when I was a kid . +That ’ s really interesting , you have to play for me some time . +Sure , so , what about you ? Do you have any hobbies ? +Well , I collect beer mats . I ’ m not sure that counts , though . +What do you do in your spare time ? +In summer I go hiking , and in winter I ski . +Do you mind if I come along sometime ? +No , not at all . Glad to have you . +Hi , Craig ! How are you ? +Not so good . I have a terrible cold . +Really ? That's too bad ! You should be at home in bed . It's really important to get a lot of rest . +Yeah , you're right . +And have you taken anything for it ? +No , I haven't . +Well , it's helpful to chop up some garlic and cook it in chicken stock . Then drink a cup every half hour . It really works ! +Ugh ! +She is , like , mega-intense , isn't she ? +Ha , she is unstoppable . I'm learning so much from her . +What's it like to work with her ? +She's demanding . But I like that . I mean , I know our timeline is tight . +Tell me about it . +You guys are working around the clock , I know . That guy Dave next to Zina never leaves . +Vince wants us to have everything debugged and ready to go by the end of the month . +I have a suggestion . Why don't we go to a ETV and sing ? +A ETV ? Are you serious ? ETV ? +Yes , why not ? Don ’ t you like ETV ? +I don't know . I never went to one . +Never ? Really ? I'm surprised . +Many Americans have never gone to a ETV . It ’ s not an American thing to do . +But there are a lot of Kts in this town . There's one just two blocks from here . +OK , let's go . +I'll see you in Sterlet , then . +Where did you say ? +Sterlet . It's spelt 0 , S , T , E , R , L , E , Y . +Right . +Listen to this . Mary got married . +Is she really ? I can ’ t believe it ! +Yes . Yesterday . +Good gracious . That ’ s incredible ! +She married Jerrod . +You ’ re kidding . +She ’ s going to live in Paris . +Really ? I ’ m surprised . +I am trying to decide what school to apply to ? +Are you thinking about a public school or a private one ? +I am not sure . What's the difference between them ? +Public schools are usually state funded , whereas private schools usually get their funding elsewhere . +Which is better ? +One isn't necessarily better than the other . It depends a lot on the school administration and the teachers . +I hear you have to wear uniforms at private schools . +Yes , sometimes . +Let's program your courses , since you have had English literature , you should take American literature and American prose and fiction.You transcript indicate that your english background is strong , so I don't think you have any problem with it . +How many credits for each course ? +Three , you also should take two three-credit-course in education department . +Thank you , sir , I'm sure I will . +I'm not comfortable about this , Sandy . I don't understand most of these games . +That's okay . I can explain a little . +I don't want to lose all my money . +Don't worry . You can't lose all your money.because you won't gamble all your money . +I guess you're right . +Of course I'm right . I already told you the rule for Las Vegas . Remember ? +Yes , I remember.You must decide how much money you will gamble before you start to play . +That's right . That's the best way to have control over yourself.You say to yourself . Tonight I will gamble fifty dollars . Only fifty dollars . No more.If you follow the rule , you can't lose more than fifty dollars . +I know it's true , Sandy . But still some people lose control.They start to gamble , and they can't stop . +But I won't let you do that . I will watch you . +Okay . +So how much do you want to gamble ? +Maybe 500 dollars . +500 dollars ! That's too much ! You just said you are afraid to lose your money.If you're afraid , why do you want to gamble 500 dollars ? +I don't want people to think I'm stingy . +That is a bad attitude to have , Karen ! If you think that way , Las Vegas will be really dangerous for you . +I feel very miserable . I took the death of my wife very hard , you know . +Cheer up ! Let bygones be bygones . +I ’ Ve tried it , not a chance . +It seems you have to take time . +Mary , it was wrong of you to be so late . Mother ’ s very worried . +I ’ m so sorry I ’ m late . But Henry ’ s car broke down . +I don ’ t really like Henry . I like my Rose . +I don ’ t like your Rose . And I do love Henry . And I ’ m going to marry him . +But my Rose is great . +Your Rose is a fool . +Really , Mary , you ’ re horrible . +Why don ’ t you marry Rose , then ? +Mr . : Please open your books to page 10 . ( To Mary ) Can I help you ? +I'm sorry that I'm late . I couldn't find the room . +Mr . : That's alright . It's the first day of school , after all . +What are we doing ? +Mr . : I'm asking the class to read page 10 to themselves . Then I'm going to ask some questions about the passage . +May I have a book ? +Mr . : Here . Write your name inside the front cover . Remember that you must return the textbook to me at the end of the semester , so keep it in good condition . +Hi , Bob ! How are you doing ? +Fine ! How are you ? +I'm fine too , thank you . +I've come to tell you I'm going to the concert this evening.Will you come with me ? I've two complimentary tickets . +With the greatest pleasure.Where is the concert this evening ? +It will be held at the Music Hall . +What's on the program ? +It's a piano recital . I'm fond of piano , you know . +I couldn't wait to meet you in person . +Me , too . I've heard so much about you . +Same here . +I was looking forward to your arrival . +John , have you ever watched Beijing Opera ? +Yes , I watched once . +What do you think of it ? +Well , honestly speaking , I went to watch it out of curiosity . I ’ d say it ’ s really a special art form . +I couldn ’ t agree more . Actually , I ’ m a Beijing Opera fan . +Really ? Good for you . +Hello , I need to register for a class . +What class are you trying to take ? +I want to take a Psychology class . +Well , there are only two classes open . +Can you tell me what days the classes are on ? +One class is on Tuesday and Thursday from 2 p . m . to 4 . +And the other class ? +That class is from ten to twelve on Monday and Wednesday . +Are you sure these are the only open classes ? +Yes , I am sure . +Okay , sign me up for the class on Monday and Wednesday . +Very well then . +Hi , Martin . I ’ Ve been looking for you all morning . +What ’ s up ? +I want to say goodbye . I ’ m leaving for America tomorrow . +America ? Did you get admit to MIT ? +Yes . +Congratulations ! Susan . I ’ m so happy for you . +Thank you . +Really going to miss you . +Me too . I ’ ll write to you once I get settled . But I have so much to do . You might have to wait a while . But I really will write to you . I love to write letters . I think it ’ s more meaning than the emails even than the phone call . +Ok . Take care . Have a nice journey . +Thank you . +Look after yourself . Bye . +Bye . +Have you ever run into a person who tries to bleed you white ? +I am always on the look out for such girls . +I hear that some guys splash all their money about on them . +Mark is one of them . He has trouble with a girl who turned out to be a dead beat . +I ’ m sure it will be wet when we arrive . +Yes . I dare say it will be . +It will be Sunday so I expected everything will be closed . +No . I don ’ t think that ’ s possible . Some places are sure to be open . +But the bank should be closed so we shouldn't to be able to get some money . +Mmm , you may be right . +Do you think we ’ ll need our overcoats ? +No . We couldn ’ t possibly . +Why not ? +It will be summer . So it will be hot . +Is that very likely in England ? +Yes . It could happen . +My disposable contact lenses . They're great for camping ! +Cool ! Each contact comes in its own saline solution ? +Yep . They're prescription contacts with UV protection . +Wow ! How high-class ... a new pair for each day ... +You just pop'em in in the morning , take them out at night , and then throw them away . No cleaning ! +Cool . So are you near-sighted or far-sighted ? +Near sighted . +hey , Mary , what's up ? +not much . Last night I met this great guy at the bar and we had such a wonderful time that we decided to meet again tonight . +oh , that's exciting . What's this guy like ? Is he hot ? +well , I didn't think so at first . But as we started talking , I found his extremely funny and witty . I couldn't stop laughing at his jokes ! We have so much in common . We like the same teams , music , a +it seems you two are a good match . What qualities do you look for in a friend ? +there's nothing definite I think . I don't have a list or anything , but when I first meet somebody , I can usually tell whether or not that person is going to be a good friend . It seems I have radar h +well , that's something I've never heard of . But if you as me what I value most in a friend , I would have to say honesty . +I agree . You can't expect a close relationship with a dishonest person . Those are the people that will turn their back on you when you are in need . +yeah , I know . A friend in need is a friend indeed . I don't need fair-weather friends either . +Are you studying here ? +Yes , I am studying in Eastern Asian language department . +What are you major in ? +I major in Japanese . +What do you think of the literature course . +It's very helpful.the course has let me into a world of literature . i read so many great literatures . +Look at the cloud . +It's going to rain . +Let's go quickly . +you haven't spent much time with Sophia lately . Are you speaking to each other at the moment ? +no , we're not . We've been drifting apart for a while . +but you two used to do everything together . I thought you really enjoyed each other's company . +we did , but since she started her new job , all she does is hang out with her new friends from work . +can't you hang out with them , too ? +I could , but all they ever talk about is work , so I always end up feeling left out . +maybe you should invite her over for dinner , so it's just the two of you . +I tried that a few weeks ago and she ended bringing a pal from work with her ! She's so busy these days that it's just impossible to hang out with her . +it can't be that bad . She was always a really good friend to you . +you're right . She would never talk about me behind my back or hold a grudge . But she just doesn't seem very interested in our friendship anymore . +she's probably just excited about her new job . You should give her some time . It would be a shame to lose such a good friend . +I've given her enough time . I'm over it now . +I still think you two should try to patch things up . +I think I just have to accept the fact that it's time for us to go our separate ways . +Do you like flowers ? +Of course , I like flowers . +What's your favorite flower ? +I like peach blossom , because I like spring . +Peach blossom is really beautiful . +Yes . How about you ? +I like lotus . +You have a perfect taste ! +But there aren't any lotus now . +Yes . It's snowing outside . Let's enjoy the plum blossoms . +That's not bad . Let's go . +Where are you from ? +I'm from Canada . +There's a double feature at the cinema this Saturday . Do you want to go with me ? +What are the movies that are playing ? +There's an action movie with Harrison Ford and a chick flick with Susan Abandon . +I've never seen a movie I don't like that had Harrison Ford in it . +So , is that a yes ? +Yes . What time does it start and do you want to meet me there ? +It starts at one and yea , let's meet there . It's the cinema on the corner of Lincoln and Main . +Great ! I have a coupon for free popcorn at that theater ! +Did you hear what's going on downtown today ? All the orders from the factory are staging a demonstration in the streets . Not one of the two thousand employees showed up for work today , and they have gathered outside the city hall to demand better working conditions for all factory employees . +Wow , sounds chaotic ... two thousand people in the streets carrying picket signs and shouting slogans . What gave them the motivation to finally organize and call management on the substandard working conditions ? +I think they gained courage after the mayor's speech last week on equality and opportunity for all town citizens . Anyway , the sentiments have been brewing for quite some time . I mean , we all know the working conditions at the factory are quite horrendous . +So what kind of demands do they have ? What are they asking for specifically ? +They want raises and medical insurance , and I think they want to clean up the factory's safety hazards . That's probably the most important issue . +Hi , Peter . I ’ m afraid I can ’ t make it to dinner tomorrow night . +Oh , why not ? +It ’ s just I ’ m not feeling well . I think I ’ m coming down with a cold or something . +Oh , I ’ m sorry to hear that . Hey , don ’ t worry about the dinner . We ’ ll do it some other time . But you take care of yourself . +Thanks . I will . +Why do you want to spend your summer days in a mountain village ? +I think a mountain village is splendid ! +I don't agree with you . It's too small to live . +It has fresh air , and it is nicer than a big town . +I disagree , a big town is more lively . +But I like the small mountain village . The big town is noisy . How charming it is when walking along the hill ! +Well , alright , I agree with you about that , but I still prefer a big town . +It's getting late , and I have to go now . +We're sorry you have to leave . +Please excuse me , won't you ? +Certainly . Come back soon . +what's your opinion about childless couples ? Will you choose to have no kids ? +to be honest , I wouldn't . +why ? Do you have to make a choice now ? +not really . But it has puzzled me for a long time . +what's the puzzle ? +my husband and I prefer to have no kids , but my mother-in-law is very traditional and wants grandkids . +oh , I see . I think the older generation tend to think in a different way . +yes . It seems she can never accept a childless marriage . We had a fight last night . +oh , really ? Maybe she is just eager to see her grandchildren . +but it's absolutely our own business to have a child or not . +definitely . +you know , I often overhear our neighbor , the young couple , fighting about how to raise their kid and I really don't want kids to spoil our happiness . +don't worry . I think in most cases , children are the glue that keeps a family together . +I guess you're right . But I still prefer to have no child . +sure . You can fully enjoy your time together . +I've had enough of that ! +Why , this is the most interesting film ! +I hate the hero.He ' s too cruel . +But it's only a film . +How much did you bid ? +Eighty-five dollars . If my bid is the highest after three more days , I win ! It's fun ! +We'll see how much fun it is after they take all your money ! ! +But they won't ! I checked the seller's history , and he got good reviews from other buyers . +What if he had his friends fake the reviews ? +You are so paranoid ! Not everybody is a crook , you know . +It's taking you forever to do my hair . +Give me a minute . +You should've been done already . +There you go . +I don't think that you're done . +What's wrong ? +My hair looks hideous . +What's so bad about it ? +It doesn't look good at all . +Sorry about that . +I really hope that you didn't expect me to pay you for this . +Well , let me talk to my manager , okay ? +Excuse me ! I don't have time to waste . I've been here almost one full hour ! +Sorry , madam . You have to wait your turn . The parking lot is full . +Unbelievable ! Parking in this city is such a nightmare ! +Madam , patience is a virtue . +Oh , gosh ! I have to go to the restroom so bad ! I can't bear it anymore ! +I'm sure a spot will open up soon . +Oh , look ! There's a spot open next to the public restroom ! Can I take it ? +What are we going to do ? I can't get the car out of this ditch . I'm stuck ! +I'm worried , Tom . I haven't seen any other cars for almost an hour . +I know . This is terrible . What can we do ? This snow doesn't stop falling ! +I told you we should have stayed in town today.The weather report said 100 percent chance of snow.Why did you want to come up here ? +I wanted to show you the cabin . We only had another half-hour to go . +Well , now we're stuck . What can we do ? +I don't know . +I've heard that when this happens , it's important to save energy . +What do you mean ? +We're stranded here , Tom . We may be here a long time.We need to conserve the gas in the car . The car's energy is what will keep us warm . +I have plenty of gas . +Yes , but the gas and the battery both have to stay working.We can't just let the car run and run.If we do , it will die soon . Then we'll freeze . +So what can we do ? +Turn the lights off.Then , run the car and the heater only about fifteen minutes every hour.That will conserve the heat as long as possible . +Alright . That's a good idea . +I wish we hadn't come up here . Now we'll probably be here for days . +Days ? +Yes , it happens.That is what happens in big snowstorms . People get stranded for days . +Oh , my God ! It's good we have food . +Probably we'll survive.But turn the car off for about forty-five minutes . Then we'll turn it on again . +Okay , I'll follow your advice . +let's go out for a walk . +I don't really feel like a walk . +Well , shall we go to the cinema ? +All right.That sounds more interesting . +Mr . Bellow , have you anything in mind as to what to drink or may I make a few suggestions ? +I have had enough gin fizz and bloody mary . But I have no idea about Chinese cocktails . +Would you prefer our cocktail — Shanghai cocktail ? It's a mixture of real Chinese ingredients . +That ’ s good . +( The waiter makes the cocktail for Mr . Bellow and hands into him . ) Here is your Shanghai cocktail , Mr . Bellow . +Thank you . Oh , it tastes excellent . +Jack I hear you have a chance to go to college without taking a test . Is that right ? +The news goes so fast . Ah , yes , I haven't decided yet . +Don't hesitate . That's a very famous university which a lot of students are longing to attain . +Maybe you are right . But the major is not fit for me . I like architecture more than computers . +But this chance is really precious . +Well , I know . So I am thinking now . +I hope you can make a clever choice . Anyway , the opportunities around you are not that By . +Thank you for your kindness . I will think about it carefully . +Hi , Janice . Our first weekend after being employed is coming . Show me your plan . +My mom phoned me this morning , and asked me to go back home to have housework chores . +What are you assigned to do ? +God knows . Speaking of chores , I would rather do some washing than cooking . +For me , I think I will iron my shirt and trousers . Actually , weekends tend to be the most hectic day in the whole week . +I really hope that I could sleep like a log all through two nights . But ... Some one said that weekends are a bit like rainbows ; they look good from a distance but disappear before we get up close to them . +I couldn't agree more . +Hurry up . We're going to be late . +I am hurrying . +What are you doing ? +I can't figure out which dress to wear . +So , did I tell you about my New Year ’ s resolution ? I ’ Ve decided to go on a diet . +And you ’ re going to completely transform your eating habits , right ? +Exactly ! I ’ m going to cut out all that junk I eat . no more chips , no more soda , no more fried food . +I ’ Ve heard this one before . +But this time I ’ m going to stick to it . I really mean it ! Trust me , Carol , I ’ m going to be a new man in one year ’ s time ! +Well , I guess we ’ ll just have to wait and see . +Thanks , honey , that was a great meal . I ’ m stuffed . Do we have any chips left ? +Will you be joining Billy and I at the Bar ? +Which one will you be going to ? +We are going to try the new one that opened up on 17th Street . +Sure , I've been meaning to visit that place myself . +I want to stop off at my apartment to get changed so I should be there by 9 pm . +OK , can I bring a date with me ? +Certainly . But if there are going to be four of us , I had better make reservations . +Yes . that is a very good idea . It would be a shame if we could not find a place to sit . +Then I'II make reservations for 9 pm for a party of four . +I'll be there . Oh , is there a cover charge at the bar ? +Not that I know of . Why do you ask ? +I want to make sure I bring enough money for my date and I . +I hear the drinks and food there are moderately priced.You should be fine . +One last question.Is there a dress code there ? +No , its very casual there . Leave your jacket and tie at home . +Perfect . I wanted to have a casual evening tonight . +I'll see you there at 9pm . +Okay . See you then . +What's the most popular sport in your country ? +Table tennis . +Do you play table tennis ? +Not really , but I like watching . +I've really enjoyed your party , Lisa . +Not at all , Sam . +I wish I could stay longer , but I must be going . +It's snowing heavily . +It is very common in the winter in Ottawa . +The snow is so beautiful . +Give me Scotch , please . +What brand ? +Black Rose . +Soda or water ? +Just plain water with plenty of ice rock . +All right . Please wait for a minute . +Have you ever seen Bill Gate's home on the internet ? +No . what's it like ? +It's got its own library , theatre , swimming pool , and a guest house . The house itself has about ten different rooms that are all hooked up to computers so you can get things done in each room through a remote control . It's also located near the sea , so he can park his boats next to his house . It's absolutely amazing ! +Would you want to live there ? +I think his house is fantastic , but I wouldn't want to live there . You would have to hire one or two people to clean all the rooms in the house , plus a few people to take care of the gardens , and probably an au pair or two to take care of the children . It's just too big of a place to take care of on your own . +What's your dreamhole like then ? +My dream home is actually just a small cottage in a quiet village in England . +Would you want to buy an old cottage or build a new one yourself ? +Old homes are great because they've got character . I think that's important . +Is that why you wear second-hand clothes as well ? Because they've got character ? +No , that's just because I don't have enough money to buy new cloths all the time ! +I see . If you lived in an old house , would it be decorated in a modern way ? +No , I'd definitely try to restore it to its original state . I love to imagine what it'd be like to live in another time in history and living in a house decorated like it would have been 200 years ago would be a great way to feed my imagination even more ! +Rachel , do you like music ? +Of course . I can't live without it , so I always bring my CD with me no matter where I go . +What kind of music do you like best ? +Light music and classic music . +Really ? I can't believe this . I am also keen on classic music . And do you know there is a concert of classic music tomorrow evening ? +But I didn't get the ticket . And it is said that they were sold out yesterday . +I got two . We can go there together . +Amazing ! I can imagine the feeling when I hear the smooth tune around my ears . +Look at what you have done . All thumbs . +I ’ m so sorry , and I will pay much attention to it later . +What is your hobby ? +I spend most of my spare time reading . And I subscribe to various newspapers , magazines and periodicals . +What kind of reading materials do you like best ? +I am interested in science fiction . +You look great ! +Thanks to you . I'm totally pumped up . +So you are happy that you made the decision to join us . +I surely am . But still there is one single problem . +What's that ? +I eat more and more these days . And it puts even more weight on me . +It's not good to start with too much work-out at the beginning . What about trying something else ? +I'd love to do that . What do you recommend ? +More and more people are warm up to Yoga these days . Do you want to have a try ? +Do you think it's a good option for health and relaxation ? +Absolutely . But it takes great perseverance to master . +I can so that . +Here is a free class going on right over there . Go and join them . +How did it go ? +Everything was okay when it started , but the music made me drowsy . So I think I may have dozed off for a minute over there . +Do you have to leave soon ? +No . Actually I can stay longer . Dave called to say that there is a beautiful Chinese girl who ’ s going to pick me up at the school gate tonight at ten thirty instead of eight thirty . +Oh , that ’ s better . So you don ’ t have to rush . +Yeah . You know what Dave just said ? +What ? +He said I should put on something very nice , because this girl will be my next target . +He knows you very well . +He always makes fun of me . He always says things like that . You know the new coming teacher , a Chinese Canadian . He said she would really be my chance . +I ’ m sure you have chances everywhere . You ’ re handsome , talkative , and got a sense of humor . You must be very popular . +No , you ’ re kidding . I ’ m not taking it seriously . +This small town has many serious problems . +What's the cause ? +The mayor and high official practice crony is mand a large number of guys who are good at nothing occupy many important positions . +I see why it lags behind other towns . +Do you see the woman ? Is she a teacher ? +Yes , she is . +Does she teach Chinese ? +No , she is an English teacher . +And who ’ s the man in the green beside her ? +You mean the man wearing jeans ? He ’ s her little brother . +which countries have you been to ? +I ’ Ve been to most of the countries in Europe , several countries in asia , china , Japan , korea , and Thailand , and to the united states and Canada . +I thought you had been to Australia too . +no , but I ’ m planning on visiting Australia and New Zealand soon . I ’ Ve heard that they are beautiful countries . Which is the most beautiful country you ’ Ve been to ? +I think I'd say Norway . It has many pictures as fjords , waterfalls , and mountains . +isn ’ t it really cold there ? +well , the north of Norway is almost always cold , but further south it can be fairly warm in summer . It ’ s a wet country , so there ’ s snow almost everywhere in winter . +I ’ Ve been to other Scandinavian countries , but not to Norway . Perhaps I should go and do some winter sports there . +What's bothering that guy ? +Nothing . He's just got a chip on the shoulder . +Jane , I was wondering if you you had any plans for saturday afternoon . +A friend and I are planing to go out , why ? what's up ? +There is a special exhibition of french sculptures at the museum , I was hoping you ' d like to come with me . +I am afraid I can't I am going to be out all day . +What about sunday ? +I wish I could , but it's my mums birthday . +Maybe next week . +Much as I ' d like to , I am afraid i wont be free next week , I have a lot of work . +Sorry to hear that , I was really looking forward to spending some more time with you , I really enjoyed our last chat . +I am really sorry too , maybe I can give you a call sometime . +Hello , Mrs Turnbull . How are you ? +Fine , thanks . How's your boy , Jack ? +He's a bit tired . You know , he goes to school at eight o'clock every morning.He doesn't get home till after four . then he does his homework after tea . It often takes him a couple of hours to finish +Poor boy . They work hard at school nowadays , don't they ? Does he like it ? +School , you mean ? Yes , he does . He likes his teachers , and that always makes difference . +Yes , it does . Does he go to school by bus ? +No , he walks . He likes walking . He meets some of his friends at the corner another go together . +What does he do when it rains ? +My husband takes him in the car . He passes the school on the way to the office . +Are you an American ? +Yeah . +Why don't you speak English ? +Oh , my mother is a German , so I can speak German . +Oh , do you like Chinese ? +Yeah , I'm eager to learn Chinese , but it is too difficult for me . +I want to study German . Can we exchange lessons ? +Very Good . I'd like to do that . +When will we begin ? +How about tomorrow night ? +That's all right . +Your muscles are a spectacle ! +Thank you.That ' s the result of exercise.By the way , do you work out ? +No , but I am starting working out from now on . +Fine . +You are an eager beaver . +Thank you . I just consider working as part of my life . +I visited the famous variety show host , Dennis . +What's he like ? +Oh , he's a very serious person . +You must feel very uneasy at his home . +Lily , do you know Lizzy ? +Lizzy who ? +Lizzy smith . +Of course I do . +Then , Do you know her younger sister ? +You mean Mary ? +Yes . +Sure . I know her elder sister Sue and younger sister Mary . +Oh , not bad . Then do you know her mother ? +Yes , certainly . I know her mother and father , and brother and sisters , too . +That sounds terrific . +Why do you ask me these questions ? +I just want to visit the family some day . +This place serves good breakfasts , don't you think ? +Yes . But I'm not used to eating American-style breakfast . +What are you planning to do today ? +I saw yesterday that they rent windsurfers at the beach . I want to rent one . +Have you done windsurfing before ? +No , but it looks fun . I always wanted to try it . +Can you take a little advice from a friend ? +Sure . What ? +Don't waste your money . Windsurfing is very hard . And it will be windy today.They will charge you fifty dollars for a half-hour , and you won't be able to windsurf.You will fall and fall and fall . +But I always wanted to try it . +Yes , but it takes a long time to learn.You would spend a thousand dollars to learn it on a rental windsurfer . +Well , I will see . How was your day at the office ? +I don ’ t know what I ’ m going to do ! It ’ s going to be impossible to make ends meet if I lose my job ! +Don ’ t worry . I don't think you ’ re going to lose your job over one mistake . +It was a rather big mistake . When you work as an investment adviser , one small mistake can cost the company millions . +But it wasn ’ t just you who was involved , right ? You were only doing what your supervisor told you to do . +That ’ s true , but my supervisor is very dishonest . There ’ s no reason he needs to tell our boss the truth . I ’ m sure he will tell our boss that it was all my fault , and there ’ s nothing I can do about that . My boss won ’ t believe me if I tell him the truth . +Let ’ s think realistically about what might happen . How much money do you have in your savings ? +I have enough to live off of for about 3 months . But I really don't want to spend my life savings on just living ! I ’ d rather invest my money somehow . +Well , you can't have everything . Let's just figure out what you will do if you lose your job . When is your contract up on your apartment ? +Next month . So I can either move out then or renew my contract for another year . +Well , that ’ s good . If you lose your job , you can just move in with me until you find another job . That will save you plenty of money . +That ’ s very generous of you . I guess that would work . +If you lose your job , you just have to go for a few months without buying all the junk you usually buy . If you live frugally , you ’ ll save plenty of money . +I guess working with so much money has made me rather greedy . Maybe losing my job would be a good thing ! +Excuse me , I need your assistance . +Sure , what's up ? +I have no idea where my class is . +Tell me which building it's in . +My class is in the C building . +I know where the C building is . +Do you mind telling me where it is ? +Of course , which room number is it ? +Number 261 . +I actually have a class right around there . +Can you please show me ? +I can do that . +I'm more worried about snipers . +Snipers ? +Sniping is when someone makes a bid at the very last minute to steal something for a bargain price . +So you're afraid someone is going to snipe your Buddha ? +I heard about a software program called turbid . It automatically submits a bid with just a few seconds to go in an auction . +Count me out . I can do without shills and snipers and turbo-bidders . +So , Fred , what are your plans for after graduation ? +Well , I ’ Ve already got a job waiting for me back in my hometown . +That ’ s cool . Have you already found an apartment to live in ? +I ’ m planning on living with my parents . Won ’ t you ? +I couldn ’ t even if I wanted to . My parents told me that if I went home , then ’ d have to find my own place . +You mean they ’ re kicking you out ? +Not really , they just don ’ t want me living at home . My older sister did that , and she lived at home for seven years . Once she started living at home , it got harder and harder for her to move out . +Well , it ’ s not like my parents want me to live at home the rest of my life . They said that it ’ s ok if I move back home to begin with , but they want me to find a place of my own after a year or so . +My parents just didn ’ t handle my older sister very well , and because of that , they want me to be more independent . They think that it ’ s important that I should learn how to live on my own . +I know I need to learn that myself , but I just don ’ t have the money for it at the moment . Living at home allows me to save up some money before I started finding a place . +Hi , Mel , would you like to come and have a cup of coffee this afternoon ? +I ’ d love to , but you know I ’ Ve got another appointment . I ’ m really sorry . +I see . Then what about tomorrow , at Starbucks ? +I ’ m afraid not , George . You gotta know something , I ’ m not available any more . but I know Becky has a crush on ya . +Are you kidding me ? Becky ? She ’ s a real bitch . +Ok , so who are we going to invite to our dinner party ? +Well , we have the Thompsons , the Greens , and the Anderson , about twelve people total . +Don't forget my friend Andy from the office . He has nothing to do on Friday , so I invited him over . +But that makes thirteen people ! We can't have thirteen people for dinner on Friday ! +Why can't we ? +It's an old superstition . If we have thirteen people at the table , then it means bad luck . Can Andy bring a date ? +I'm not sure . He just broke up with his girlfriend recently , and I don't think he's in the mood to start again so soon . +But we can't have thirteen for dinner ! +I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill . It's only a superstition . It really doesn't mean anything . +Absolutely not ! I refuse to have thirteen people for dinner on Friday ! +Ok , ok . I'll ask my sister to come . That way we'll have fourteen for dinner . +That's better . +I can't believe it , I had faith in Bob and he let me down . +I know what you mean . +Really ? +Yes , he did the same to me . +Hello , Alice . Would you like to go to the temple fair with me ? +Temple fair ? +Yes . The ancient custom of holding temple fairs is to offer sacrifices to the god of the earth , and they have developed into a festival filled with food , performances and games now . +Sounds interesting ! +Absolutely , I love temple fairs . Beijing has several temple fairs recently . They are different from each other to some extent , but also have a lot in common . +I just can't wait to see them . Which one do you choose today ? +What about Tianqiao Temple Fair ? A variety of opera performances , acrobatics shows , and food will dazzle you . +Great ! Do you know how to get there ? +Of course . +Couldn't be better . +Excuse me , Supen . +I hope nothing is wrong . +Please forgive me , but I have to leave . I feel terrible . but ... +What's the matter ? +My daughter isn't feeling well . +Oh , no . Is it serious ? +I don't know . Will you forgive me ? +Of course . I'm sorry for your daughter . +Thank you . It's our first date . I hope it's not too offensive . +Not at all . +Hello . Can I help you ? +Yes , I hope so . I would like to register for Comp Lit 287 . +I'm sorry , but that class is already full.And also , students are supposed to register through the touch-tone registration system . +I know . I already tried to register for it by phone , but the computer won't let me . +That's because it's full . +But I'm a new student here . I thought maybe there was some way I could get into the class . I thought I should come and talk to you in the department office . +Well , I could put you on a waiting list.But that doesn't guarantee you will get into the class . What is your name ? +My name is Karen Huang . That's spelled H - U - A - N - G . +Alright . And what is your major ? +I'm a comparative literature major . +Wait a minute . You're a Comp Lit major ? +Yes , that's right . +Why didn't you tell me ? I didn't know you were one of our students . +That's why I'm trying to get into Comp Lit 287 . I know it's a required class.And Professor Cohen told me I need to take it . +The university computer system saves extra places , in class 287 for comp lit students . I can give you a special code.When you register by phone , you can use the code to get into the class . +Even if the class is full ? +That's right . +Oh , I didn't know that . +Sure . Here is the code number , with information on how to use it . +Thank you . So you think I will be able to get in with this ? +Sure . Just call the touch-tone registration system again.Then , follow the directions on the sheet . You will get in no problem . +Thanks . +Next time you come in here , I will recognize you . +Who's that man over there talking to James ? +Where ? Oh , that's Henry . +He's very handsome , isn't he ? What's he like ? +He's very nice , actually , but rather eccentric . +Really ? I love eccentric people . +Yes , but he may be too eccentric even for you . +Why ? What do you mean by that ? +Well , haven't you heard ? +Heard what ? No one ever tells me anything . +Well , apparently , he's been having an affair with his secretary . +Really ! How fascinating . +According to Mary , he's divorcing his wife and there's a big fight going on about the children . I thought everyone knew . +Well , what can I say ? I didn't know . Oh , I meant to tell you earlier , your blouse doesn't really match your skirt . Those colors don't really suit you either . +Oh . Thanks . Look , I must just go and say hello to someone . I'll be right back . +How did you first meet Jack each other ? +That is a heavy raining afternoon . I was standing under the eaves of a shop to evade the heavy rain . It's getting dark . +And then ? +I was trembling in the wind when he ran to me with an umbrella in his hand and asked , ' Where is your home ? ' +Then he sent you to your home ? +Yeah . +It's a romantic meeting . I can say that a hero saves a beauty . +He joked later that I was so poor that he had a kind of impulse to protect an ant . +He is so humorous . +Where are you from ? +I'm from Germany . +So you speak German , don't you ? +Yeah , but I can speak English , too . +Oh , I see . What other languages can you speak ? +A little French . +Good . +What are you reading ? +Gee ! You scared me ! +Aha , Fitness Consultant . Very good , Don't you know about the rules in this office ? +Yes , Ma'am . No magazines during the office hours . I'm sorry . +Well , don't do this again next time . What is it about , anyway ? +It is about sports for white-collar workers , people like you and me . +What kind of sports ? +Aerobic sports , for example , jogging , yoga , skating ... +Interesting . What were you reading just now ? +Stretching exercise after sitting a long time . +Really ? That sounds interesting ! +Can I have my magazine back now ? +No . It's confiscated for now . And I will return it to you after I finish reading it . +I like NBA very much . +Did you watch NBA games before you came to the U . S . ? +No , I didn't . +What a pity ! +Do you like NBA ? +Yes , of course . +Who do you like best of the NBA players ? +Kobe . +So do I . +Let's go to watch an NBA game tonight , shall we ? +That's fine . +Hi , could you help me find a place where I could buy some lunch ? +Sure ! What kind of food would you like ? +I was thinking of pizza or something else Italian , maybe . +I know the perfect place ! +Good ! Where is it ? +It's right past that last building on the left . Do you want me to go with you ? +That would be great . +Glad you asked me to join you . This will be fun ! +I'm reading an interesting report on Mars . +Oh , what does it say ? Does it say water could still exist under the surface of Mars ? +Absolutely ! It says there is water on Mars buried beneath the surface . It's just a matter of how deep it is . +Then could the soil on Mars somehow be fertile enough to Groh simple plants ? +The soil would need quite a bit of fertilizer to grow anything . And it would need to be protected from the UV radiation . +Actually , we are doing a project in school that involves landing a ship and staying on Mars for an extended period of time . Does NASA have any type of portable habitats that could be used to stay on the planet ? +I'm not sure NASA has built any portable habitats for extended stays on Mars , but they have looked at various designs . +One of the most exciting things about Mars is that there could have bean life on it . What are your personal opinions on the life on Mars theory ? +Well , I'm not really an expert in this area , but my understanding is that anything is possible . It's just that it is so hard to determine what went on 4.5 billion years ago . +But maybe there is a chance of gradually improving the surface and atmosphere of Mars so it may be inhabitable by humans . +I'm skeptical . Mars is made of rocks containing silicon , iron , and various minerals . It also has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide . It is so different from what we have on earth , you know . +I'd still like to hope that some day we could set up a human colony there . +But there are still other big problems we need to solve such as prolonged weightlessness , food storage , and a series of physiological effects . +Would you like to go sightseeing tomorrow ? +Not a bad idea . +What would you like to see in Beijing ? +Well , let ’ s see . I ’ d like to go to see the Summer Palace . +I ’ ll pick you up here tomorrow . +When are we leaving for our field trip ? +Our science field trip is next Monday at 8 a . m . in the morning . Can you mark that on your calendar ? +Yes , I will write that down . +That will be Monday , December 2nd . We need to start loading the buses half an hour early , so plan to arrive at 7 . +Yes , I will be there on time . +We will return 6 days later on December 8th . Will someone be picking you up ? +Yes , someone is coming to get me . +The return bus will leave the campground at 5 p . m . and return to campus 3 hours later at 8 p . m . +What should we bring with us ? +I am going to post all of that information on the geology club web page . Check it out when you get a chance . See you Monday ! +Mr . : Hello , Mary . +Hi . +Mr . : I'm Mr . Taylor , and I'm your counselor . I'm going to show you around the school . +OK . +Mr . : Right here is the cafeteria . +It's huge ! +Mr . : But not big enough . And here is our computer room . +There must be about 50 computers in here . +Mr . : And over here is our gymnasium . +Do I have to take gym ? +Mr . : Just like everyone else . +Oh , my ! It's really hot . I've never seen such scorching weather in my life . +Tell me about it ! It's like the whole world is broiling . +Oh , look at the thermometer ! The temperature has hit 98 . +I hope it's not gonna break into three digits +But it's already awfully close . +Well , I just hope it'll level off . +I guess you can ’ t do anything until after dark then . +I guess so . What else can we do ? You can ’ t stay in the heat for long . +In the discus throw , you scored 30 meters at the final throw . How did you make it ? +Well , I've been practising for 5 weeks . +Is this your best score ? +No , once I did 32 . +Hi , where have you been ? +I was away for my vacation . +Oh , how was it ? +Good . I wish I could have another vacation . +do you want to go out for dinner tonight ? +sure . Have you got anywhere in mind ? +I'm starving , so maybe we could go somewhere with large portions . +that Italian restaurant in the city centre always has large portions . Do you want to go there ? +I'm not really in the mood for Italian , actually . I was thinking of something a bit spicy . +if you want spicy food , then I'd recommend going to a Thai , Indian or Chinese restaurant . How about that Chinese buffet on Cowley Road ? +I really like that restaurant ; you get a lot for your money there . But , they've westernized their food , so it's not actually that spicy . +you're right . Most of their dishes have sweet sauces . We could try that Indian restaurant just down the road from us . +the Taj ? They're a bit expensive , but they do serve large portions of very hot food . +the Taj it is then . +shall we bring our own bottle of wine to save some money ? +they'll still charge us a corkage fee . +that's right . It'll probably work out to be about the same then anyway . +don't worry about money . I'll treat you tonight . +are you sure ? We could go Dutch . +no , I'll pay . It's my turn anyway . You paid last time . +I won't argue with that ! Let's go ! +Robin , what are you going to do tomorrow ? +Bob and I plan to play hockey in the morning . +And later ? +Well , in the afternoon , after a long nap , we ’ ll go yachting with Nora . +It seems that you will have a nice day tomorrow . +How about you ? What are you going to do tomorrow ? +I have a lot of work in the office and a lot of chores in the house.How I envy you , Robin ! +So do you think I can take it ? +I ’ d stay over there , if I were in your shoes . +I know , but things are getting a bit out of hand and I just can ’ t do nothing . +See your problem ? You get so restless when it ’ s time to calm down . +You ’ re right . +You married Joe , didn't you ? +Joe ? I don't know what you mean . +I remember you are in love . +Oh , I took a shine to him when we met for the first time . But it comes and goes . +It's Greek to me . +Watch out , Patrick ! +Whew ! Thanks , Karen . That car almost hit me . +Well , humans could never make something like that . +Those poor Egyptians slaves worked so hard and you want to give aliens all the credit ! +Be a little more open-minded , Stu ! Don't believe everything you read in your history books ! +OK , but don't believe everything you see on The X-files , either ! +Speaking of The X-files , it's on right now ! +Hi . are you new here ? +Yes . I moved here last week . +I'm Steven , your neighbour . +I'm Charlie . Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you , too . +Since we live in the same neighbourhood , maybe we can help each other from now on . +I guess so . I live next door but one , and hope you'll drop in now and then . +Thank you . I will . +The winter in Ottawa is freezing . +From mid-November , snow started to pile up in Ottawa . +I think I will be adapted to it . +Although the weather here is very cold , the people are warm . +Yes , that's the reason why I remain here . +The summers are so great here ! Not hot at all . I love the cooling breezes , the clear air , all the greenery . +This really has been a wonderful holiday for us . Shall we take a walk around the pond or into those woods for a while ? +Let's do both ! Are we in a rush or anything +No , not really . I had thought we'd stay in Hamburg tonight , but we can't unless we rush it . Let's stay in Bremen instead . Tomorrow we can have lunch in Hamburg , then check into a hostel in Copenhagen and have dinner there . +Sounds fine to me . Whatever , let's enjoy this pond first . +Sure . We can walk around to that path that leads into the woods there . Hey , look ! There are some wild ducks over there in the reeds . +I see them ! Wow ! How do you know they're wild ? +I used to go hunting with my uncle , that's how . +They're neat . Now Let's take that path into the woods and see what we can see ... +Wow . She can be really nasty , can't she ? +No . She was right . I was too nervous . I kept thinking , What if we blow it ? +Well , I guess Zina figured you couldn't blow it if you were in the hotel room . +She even stayed at a different hotel . She said I might be contagious . +Well , at least we have Stars.com . That'll be great publicity . +Hi , Bob , this is Mary . +Hello , Mary , where do you work ? +I work for an Internet company . +Is the pay good ? +Hey Jack . What's going on ? +Hey Matt . I'm going to ask Martha to marry me ? +Really ? When did you decide this ? +I always knew she was the one , but I decided to pop the big question about 2 weeks ago . I'm just debating on how to do it . +That's exciting , man . +So how did you propose ? +You shouldn't use my example . It wasn't special . I kind of wish I made it more special but it's too late now . +What do you think I should do ? +There are a lot of options . You can surprise her over dinner , or ask her in a public area , or if you have the balls , ask her father in front of her . +I never thought about that . +Thought about what ? +Asking her father in front of her . How do you think she will react ? +I don't know . You should know how she's going to react . She is your girlfriend . +I think that's the idea I was looking for . Thanks , man . +Don't mention it . Good luck . You're going to need it . +The bridegroom looks a bit nervous . +On this occasion , most people do . +Oh , they are playing the wedding March . Here they come . +She is a beautiful bride . +I am so happy for them . +Are you crying ? +Yes , I always cry at weddings . +Harris and Anne are perfect for each other . +Yes , they are . +You and Tom also make a great couple . +In fact , we are beginning to make preparations . +For the wedding ? +No , no , for the engagement . +Try to catch this bouquet then . +What's this , I wonder ? +I'm not sure.Let me have a look ... It could be a coffee grinder . +A coffee grinder ? +Yes , it must be used for grinding coffee beans . +Oh , that would be very useful . +Hi , Jack . Long time no see ! +Yeah . How's everything going ? +Not bad . At least I am still alive . +Just alive ? I guess you are some lucky guy . I heard you are going out with Jane . +Where did you get that idea ? +Oh , come on . Jane is a very nice girl , someone you meet only once till lifetime . +You are right . I am not boasting , but she is really as beautiful as she is intelligent . +Well , I really envy you for finding such a nice girl . +Here's your drink , sir . +No , that's not right . I didn't order a coffee . I ordered a cola . +Oh , I'm terribly sorry , sir . I'll go and get you cola right away . +Waiter ! +Yes , sir . I'll bring your drink right away . +It's not that . There's an animal in my soup . +Is there , sir ? I'm very sorry . I'll change it straight away . +I've never been to such a dirty restaurant , and never seen such slow service . +I'm really sorry . +Dalian is a beautiful city . Do you agree ? +I suppose I do . +The climate here is pleasant . +You said it . +This city is really comfortable to living . +It sure is . +No other city can match it . It's heaven . +Well , If you live in other as long enough you love them just as much . +Maybe . +Well , I ’ d better get back to work . I ’ Ve got a ton of stuff on my desk ! +Me too . I ’ ll see you after work , huh ? +Yeah , definitely . I was hoping to catch a ride with you . +Sure . Meet me at five . +Where will you go in your vacation ? +Oh , I'm hoping to take courses in my vacation . +You're so industrious . +you are dressed to kill . You look gorgeous , Alexander . +thanks . This is my power suit . I have a dinner date tonight . +how did you meet each other ? +she's a friend of Amy . We met at Amy's birthday party . +is this your first date ? +yes . I hope it pans out . Cross your fingers , Lily . +sure it will . Oh , no , it's seven fifteen already . I'm going to be late for my date . +oh ... so you buried the hatchet with Steven ? +absolutely not ! He's a cheater . I will never talk to him again . I'm over with him . He's history ! +then who will you meet tonight ? +a guy I met on the internet three month ago . +really ? Are you sure this is a good idea ? +please don't be so fussy ! I didn't just meet him yesterday . +I know , but remember to meet in a public place and don't give out your personal information . +I can ’ t believe that Anthony is finally getting married ! +Yeah well it ’ s about time ! He ’ s been living with his parents for 40 years ! +Don ’ t be mean . Look here come the bridesmaids ! Their dresses look beautiful ! +Who are those kids walking down the aisle ? +That ’ s the flower girl and the ring bearer . I ’ m pretty sure they ’ re the groom ’ s niece and nephew . Oh , they look so cute ! +I just hope the priest makes it quick . I ’ m starving . I hope the food ’ s good at the reception . +That ’ s all you ever think about , food ! Oh , I think the bride ’ s coming now ! She looks gorgeous . Wait , what ’ s she doing ? Where ’ s she going ? +Oh great ! Does this mean that the reception is canceled ? +I've just got the examination results . I am afraid you haven't passed . +Oh , no ! I can't have failed . surely ? +I am afraid so . I am terribly sorry ! +Whatever am i going to tell me parents . +Don't worry about that , I am sure they will understand . After all , it was a very difficult exam . +What am I to do ? +You can always take it again . +hi , Meally , do you know that guy over there ? +The tall one ? Sure , that's Drive , he works with Lily . +He is cute . What dose he do ? +I'm not sure , he is a manager I think . +Really ? Are you going to introduce us ? +Well , he has already taken you know , that's his wife right there . +Hello , I'm Lance . +Hello , my name is Paula . Nice to meet you ! +Nice to meet you , too . +It seldom rains this summer . +Yeah , some places are very short of water . +Because of pollution and other things , our environment has become worse and worse . +You see , . This time I traveled to the West . When I looked out of the windows of the rain , all the lands that I could see are as dry as a bone . +It is serious . +These things are always oooo boring . Heard any gossip ? Anybody making the big bucks ? +Rich struck it rich in advertising . And he and Cath got married and just had a child . +That's no news . Those two were high school sweethearts anyway . +Teresa Jones got a boob job . +Uh , I can see that . And Erica Falls has lost a lot of weight . +I've got something . You saw Taylor Smith ? Looks terrible , doesn't he ? I heard he ... +How are your Chinese lessons going ? +Oh I ’ m learning very slowly . I think Chinese is more difficult than English . +Well I guess you have fewer characters but I think Chinese grammar is easier . +Maybe , but I think people usually learn English more quickly than Chinese . +Yes , I guess basic speaking in the English is easier . +Maybe that ’ s why your English is much better than my Chinese . +Let me hold the door for you , miss . +Thank you . You're very kind . +Can we talk ? +Sure , honey , we ’ re talking now , aren ’ t we ? +You know what I mean . +Yeah . I know . +I want to know where this relationship is going . I ’ m in love with you and I need to know ... +You know , I think you ’ re awesome . +I ’ m awesome . Well , I guess that ’ s my answer , isn ’ t it . +Honey ... +Look , if you don ’ t love me , it ’ s not a thing , alright , we ’ Ve had our laughs , but I don ’ t appreciate ... maybe it ’ s just time we ... +Baby , I love you so much . +You do ? +I love you . And I think you ’ re awesome . +Oh , I love you too ! +Come on . Put the gun down . +Oh baby , I ’ m so sorry . +How do you do ? I ’ m Parker . +How do you do ? Mr . Barker . +Parker . +Oh , Parker with a P ? +Yes , with a P . +Er ... I ’ m Barker . +Barker ? With a B . Of course . +Yes , with a B . +Won ’ t you come in , Mr . Barker ? +Thank you , Mr . Parker . +Let ’ s go to WAngFuJing by bus . +Better take the subway . It ’ s faster and more convenient . +Okay . It will be a new experience for me . +We have a rather comprehensive subway system here . we can get almost anywhere rather quickly on the subway . Especially at this time of a day when the traffic is heavy . +where do we pay the fare ? +Just give the man standing there three yuan and he'll give you a token . Then you slip it into slot at the turnstile and push the turnstile to get in . +Let me pay for it . +Where can I get the subway Madam ? +Ask the worker who sells token to give you one . It ’ s free of charge . Actually maps showing subway routes are posted at most stations . +Do I have to pay additional fare to change train ? +No , you don ’ t have to . Here comes the train . +I've heard The Hitchhiker would be on next week . I want to see it . +Is it horror movie ? +Yeah , I love horror movies the most . Would you like to go with me next weekend ? +No way . I will be scared out of my wits . +Well , What kind of movies do you like ? +Er , let me see . Romance , comedy , documentary , action , science fiction , cartoon and so on . +In a word , you like all the movies except for the horror movies . +Yeah , It seems like we don't talk the same language as far as movies are concerned . +Not quite . I also like romance and comedy movies very much . +The Terminal is a movie of this type . +So we can relax now . +Yeah , I could hardly wait to see it . +Excuse me , sir . Could you spare a minute ? +Uh , yes . +Do you go to work by train every day ? +Yes . I commute five days a week by train . +And would you mind telling us what you think of the rail service ? +It ’ s really very good . +Why do you say that ? +Well , trains are frequent and come on time . +Which train do you catch in the evening ? +I usually take the 5 thirty home . +And can you get a seat ? +No , I usually have to stand . +Would you agree that the service is fast ? +Yes , it ’ s reasonably fast but it certainly isn ’ t cheap . Fares have gone up25 % . +Hi , Kate . +Hi , Don . What a surprise ! +Yeah , I saw someone walking like you , but I wasn ’ t sure . We haven ’ t seen each other for how long ? Almost three months ? But you look quite different now . +Have you noticed what has changed ? +Oh , you look quite slender and more vivacious . What have you been taking ? Are you on a diet ? +Yes . I ’ m on a diet , but I ’ Ve not taken anything . I just eat less and exercise more . And it really worked in the past three months . I ’ Ve lost twelve pounds . +Wow ! That ’ s great . I sincerely want to achieve my weight loss goals , but it ’ s difficult for me to keep up the exercise . Also you know , old habits are hard to break . +What kind of exercise do you think I do ? I just go to dance everyday after work . I ’ m taking an amateur dance class . I dance two hours everyday . +Dance ? You only go dancing ? That ’ s not hard . I can do that . +Sure . Join my class next week . +How do you usually sell your products now ? +I'm doing business through Internet now . +Oh , really ? Is it a good way ? +Yes , very good . +What advantages does it have ? +It is very convenient . You know you can browse the website and send e-mails to your customers at any time . +Yes , if we do business through other ways , it will cost a lot of time . +Also it has low cost , and you know you only need to pay the fee of Internet , which is very cheap . +Yes , going abroad to join the exhibition will cost much . But does it have any disadvantages ? +To be frank , sometimes it is not so safe as doing business through traditional ways . +You mean there may be credit problems ? +Yes , but if you choose some good B2B websites , such problems can be avoided . +Will you give some suggestion ? +Of course , such as the Alabama , which is a famous website . +Thanks . Maybe I will do business through Internet in the future . +Alright everyone settle down . Let ’ s get started.As you know , an important aspect of becoming a good citizen is understanding the genesis of our legal system . It is not enough to simply memorize our laws , it is necessary that we comprehend why and how they were formed . This brings me to our topic for today . Does anyone know what we celebrate on May first ? +Cinct de mayo ? +No , that ’ s May fifth in Spanish , James , no wonder you are failing my Spanish class . No , May first is International Workers ’ Day . +Do we get a day off from school then ? +No ! It is not considered to be a national holiday here in the US , but in other countries it is . +Www , man ! +In the nineteenth century , working conditions were appalling , with workers being forced to work ten , twelve , and fourteen hours a day . Support for the eight-hour work day movement was growing rapidly , despite the indifference and hostility of many union leaders , and by April 1886 , 250,000 workers were involved in the May Day movement . Previous legislative attempts to improve working conditions had failed , so labor organizers took drastic measures . They passed a resolution stating that eight hours would constitute a legal day ’ s work . And , on May First 1886 , the resolution took effect . +Cool ! Is that why we only work eight hours now ? +Yes ! But the happy ending came at a high price.On May third , 1886 , police fired into a crowd of strikers at the McCormick Reaper Works Factory , killing four and wounding many . A mass meeting was called for the next day to protest the brutality . +And then what happened ? +Well , as we say , the rest is history ... +Did your wife give birth yet ? +Yeah . She's a healthy beautiful girl . +Congratulations . How is your wife doing ? +She is tired , but getting a lot of rest now . +That's good to hear . +I'm just glad there were no complications . +If your wife and baby are both happy , what more can you ask for ? +It's been a week , and I haven't slept that well . +That's normal for anyone with a newborn . +Yeah , but it's so hard . I have to work , and then go home and take care of my wife and the baby . I'm going to get sick at this rate . +You'll get used to it . After everything stabilizes , you can regain your health . +That's true . I should make sure my wife and baby stay healthy during this time . +Irene ! I heard you were on a date last night ! So , how how did it go ? I want all the juicy details ! +Um ... well , actually , we had a fantastic time last night . He was ... amazing ! +Okay , now you really have to fill me in . What ’ s he like ? +He ’ s really good looking . he ’ s quite tall , around 61 , he ’ s in his early thirties , and he ’ s got the most beautiful dark brown eyes ... +He sounds hot ! What does he do for a living ? +You know what , this is the best part . David is a junior investment banker at Fortune Bank , so he ’ s got a great career path ahead of him ! +Hold on a sec , his name is David ? +Yeah ? +That ’ s my brother ! +Hi , Lucy . What are you going to do this weekend ? +I have no idea yet . Do you have any suggestions ? +Would you like to play tennis with me ? +I'd like to . +Be sure to get to the sports hall at nine o'clock on Sunday morning . +OK , will do ! +I heard that Jim lost 100 yuan . Do you know that ? +I don't know . +Really ? +Yes . +But some classmates said you took the money . +It is not true . +Look at my eyes . +Well , I confess . I did it , because I urgently need money to buy some medicine for my mother for she is badly ill . I'm ashamed that I did that . +Return the money to Jim and make an apology . I think he will forgive you . +I will . +Howdy ! Nice car ! What seems to be the problem ? +I don ’ t know ! This stupid old car started spewing white smoke and it just died on me . Luckily , I managed to start it up and drive it here . What do you think it is ? +Not sure yet.How about you pop the hood and we can take a look . Mmmm , it doesn ’ t look good . +What do you mean ? My daddy gave me this car for my birthday last month . It ’ s brand new ! +Well missy , the white smoke that you saw is steam from the radiator . You overheated your engine so now the pistons are busted and so is your transmission . You should have called us and we could have towed you over here when your car died . +Ugh ... So how long is this going to take ? An hour ? +I ’ m afraid a bit more than that . We need to order the spare parts , take apart your electrical system , fuel pump and engine and then put it back together again . You are going to have to leave it here for at least two weeks . +What ! How am I supposed to get to school or go shopping ? This is not happening ! +I like this kind of weather . +Yes , a little breeze and a lovely moon . +And it's calm . I like the peace . +Me , too . +A friend of mine is now in the big house . He was caught red-handed for selling cocaine . +That is a deadly risky business . He should have it coming on him . +He must be regretting about having done the business . +I bet he is . He domed his own life . +Do you like climbing ? +Yes , I like it very much . +How about climbing up the Fragrant Mountain tomorrow ? +Where is it ? +It is located at the east foot of Western Mountain of Beijing , in a park with the same name . There are some huge stones within the mountain which look like the censer , so it is called ' Fragrant Mountain ' . +Have you visited it before ? +Many times . Except climbing , there are many attractions worth visiting . +Like what ? +It is the best season to view red leaves from the Mid-October to the first ten days of November . During the period , thousands of hectares of maples on the sloping field are so red that you would recognize them as fallen petals by mistake if looking from a further area . The bright red , pink , scarlet , and peach-puff leaves are distributed in different layout , with some green pines and cypresses dotted in between . +Sounds marvelous . +You can take a bird-eye view at the glorious picture when you arrive at the top of the mountain . +Great . I will prepare some clothes and food for the climbing . +What had make you so upset ? +Frank has gone out with Lucy again . +What ’ s wrong with that ? +Lucy is known as a social butterfly . She has taken many rich men for a ride , you know . +To be frank , I find philosophy rather boring . +To tell you the truth , it's the most tedious course I'ever had . +How could you manage to pass the exam ? +It is still a mystery to me . +That one looks pretty big . Are you going to keep it ? +Of course . I always keep what I catch . +Not me . I like to throw back what I catch . +If it's within the legal limit , I prefer to keep it . +Lester , you are really fantastic at automobile repair . +Thanks , June . But I think I need to be certified as a mechanic before I ’ m allowed to repair cars for a living . +That ’ s not a big problem . There are many small schools for adults like you who can study to be certified . +I guess I never thought of that before . +And you can easily get a student loan from a vocational school , or from the government . +Wow , you ’ Ve inspired me to do something ! +Hey , Ted . What are you up to this Friday ? +Well , I have the day off from work . +That ’ s great ! Do you have any plans ? +Well , I ’ Ve been working so hard lately , so I ’ ll probably just take it easy . +Sounds nice . +Yeah , I ’ ll probably just stay in and relax . Maybe watch a few movies . +Can I stop by ? +Sure . Any time . +Judy , what is everybody talking about ? +Haven ’ t you heard ? Richard was fired by our manager . +You ’ re kidding . It can ’ t be true . +Believe it or not . Everybody is talking about it in the company . +Really ? I ’ m surprised . +Me too . +How do you like waltz ? +It's very nice , I like it very much . +May I invite you for the first dance ? +My pleasure . But I'm afraid I'm not much of a dancer . +In fact , I took up dancing quite recently , too . +Oh , really ? But you're doing the tango wonderfully well . +I'm glad you say so , you dance beautifully too . It's lucky that I got a partner . +Thank you for your compliments . It's just that you are a good leader . Do you like the samba and waltz ? +Yes . And what dances do you like best ? +Waltz is my favorite . I like it better than any other dances . +Oh , the music has stopped . Thank you for the dance . +My pleasure . Let's go and have a drink . +Fine . +What can I do for you today ? +I need to return a book . +Can I do anything else for you ? +I want to check this magazine out . +We don ’ t allow people to check out magazines . +Why not ? +It ’ s just a policy of ours . +So what am I allowed to check out ? +You may check out books or videos . +I need to check out this magazine . +You will have to just read it in the library . +That doesn ’ t make any sense . +Happy Valentine's Day ! +That's nice of you . +Could I treat you to dinner tonight ? +Wonderful . +Wow ! Look at the time . lt's about 11 0 ' clock . +Really ? I didn't realize it was so late . +I've got to catch the last bus . See you later . +Where are you going this weekend ? +I have no idea . Maybe I will sleep for the whole day . +So boring ! Shall we go out for a picnic with my friends ? +Sounds interesting . Who are the other people ? +Fred and David , my college class mates and Rachel . +Gorgeous ! What should I bring on that day ? +Your tent and enough food and water . +You mean , we can do many other things after the picnic , right ? +We can go fishing , chatting and camping . +What are we waiting for ? Come on ! +Don't hurry . Wait for my call . +so ... what kind of things do you do in your free time ? +I'm really into watching foreign films . what about you ? +I like to do just about anything outdoors . Do you enjoy camping ? +camping for an evening is ok , but I couldn't do it for much longer than one night ! +have you ever been camping in the Boundary Waters ? +no , but I've always wanted to do that . I've heard it's a beautiful place to go . +it's fantastic . My family and I are very fond of the place . +do you have any photos of any of your camping trips there ? +sure , would you like to see them ? +that'd be great . What kind of camera do you have ? +I have a Canon SLR . +so , you must be pretty interested in photography then . +I'd call it one of my hobbies . Do you know much about photography ? +actually , I do . I took quite a few photography classes at University . +have you heard about the photography exhibit that's going on at the art gallery this weekend ? +yes , I was planning on going . Are you ? +yes.In fact , maybe we could go together . +that'd be great . what time should I meet you there ? +how about at 11:00 ? +sounds great . see you then . +So Janet , do you do any sports ? +Well , I go to the gym a lot . I am a member of a gym nearby . +Yeah , how often do you go ? +About three times a week if I can . +Not bad ! Do you do any other sports ? +Not really . I ’ d really like to try golf , though . +Guess what ? I won the speech contest at my school . +Wow , that's great ! +Oh , hi Pam . When did you get back from Canada ? How was it ? +The day before yesterday . I only visited Montreal and Ottawa , but I had a great time . +Which city did you like better ? +That's hard to say ... I think Ottawa is prettier.It has better sightseeing , too . A lot of museums and galleries . +And what's Montreal like ? What did you think of it ? +Montreal is more exciting . It has better shopping.The stores are cheaper and more interesting . +Which one has better nightlife ? +Oh , Montreal of sure . It has more restaurants and clubs.They say Montreal is the most exciting city in Canada . +Well , I've always wanted to see Vancouver . I've heard it has the most beautiful views . +Well , you seem to enjoy speaking English . +You can't help learning when you're using it all day . You'll see . A few weeks ' study in the school will have a similar effect on you . +I hope so.You see , at the moment I find it difficult to get used to the teacher's speed and accent . I'm awfully worried , I can't reply as quickly as she seems to expect . +Oh , she likes keeping us on our toes by getting us use English throughout the class . She doesn't mind your making mistakes , though . +You know , speaking in class is a very good chance to put your English to practical use . +What happened to my cup ? +I accidentally knocked it off the table and it broke . I'm really sorry . +Don't worry about it . I've got another one I can use . +Are you going out , Jack ? +I'll be right back . I just need to mail this package . +Which language do you speak ? +Well , I studied French at school , but I ’ Ve forgotten most of it . I learnt some Russian while I was studying there and now I study Spanish in evening classes . Do you speak Japanese at home with your pa +Yes , I do . I ’ m learning Chinese now on the internet . +How do you find studying a language on the internet ? +It ’ s not easy , particularly with listening and speaking , because sometimes the connection isn ’ t too good . +I bet you find the character difficult to write ! +Actually , many of the characters are the same or very similar in both Chinese and Japanese , so they ’ re easy for me . +So , you can read and write much better than you speak and understand other speakers , right ? +Yes . How are the Spanish classes going ? +In a way , it ’ s similar to your experience of learning Chinese . Some Spanish words are very similar to English ones . But I need to practise listening to native speakers and saying the words myself . +What happened to John ? +He quit +Professor , I will not be here for our next class meeting . +Is this absolutely necessary ? +I tried to work something out , but I really do have to miss one class . +Will you be able to make up the work you missed ? +I'm going to be doing a lot of extra reading . +Remember that I will only let you miss one class meeting per semester . +Yes , I remember . +Could you e-mail me this week as a reminder ? +Sure , no problem . +Make good use of that day off ; you'll only have one this semester ! +Ms.Green , are the schools more or less similar everywhere throughout the United States , or do they differ in various sections ? +The system of public schools is fairly uniform everywhere throughout the United States . +Do most students in the United States attend private schools or public schools ? +Most public schools in the United States are very good , and the majority of students attend the public schools . +Which students go to private schools , then ? +Children needing special instruction . Children whose parents can afford to send them to private schools , and children whose parents want them to receive a religious education . +But are the public schools good everywhere ? +No , public schools can be very different . Even in the same city . +Dose it cost anything to attend the public schools ? Are there any restrictions as to who may and may not attend ? +The public schools in the United States are free to everyone and there is no cost to the student . In most states , even the textbooks are free . There are no restrictions as to color , race , or religion.Any student wishing to attend the public schools may do so . +We thought you might like to participate in our rehearsal . +I ’ m afraid I ’ m already booked up for next Sunday . But thank you just the same . +That ’ s a pity . We can arrange another time hopefully . +Have you seen this ? +What ? +They killed another hostage . +Oh , how awful . What a terrible thing to do . +I agree completely . I just don't understand what's wrong with them . Don't they have any humanity ? +Well , maybe they've got a point . I mean , I suspect that they think the same about us . +Yes , but that doesn't make them right , does it ? Just because they think so ? +I guess not . My view is that we should give in to their demands , so that innocent people can stop getting killed . +Come on , you can't be serious ! We should never give in to terrorist's demands , otherwise where would we be ? +Well , that's probably true , but I don't think we should be dogmatic about it . A colleague of mine was kidnapped once , so perhaps I have a different view of things . +Really ? What happened ? +Well , it was in the Balkans during the war . He was only held for three days , and then they simply released him . It was a case of mistaken identity , and they just let him go when they found out he was no use to them . It was lucky they didn't kill him . +Oh , sure . +How have you been ? +Fine , thank you . +And how ’ s everyone in your family ? +Very well , thank you . I ’ m meeting my wife and daughter for lunch at 12 , would you care to join us ? +I ’ d love to but I ’ m afraid I can ’ t . I ’ Ve already got a lunch engagement . +Where did you get your mobile ? It's really cute . +Oh , this ? I got it in Singapore . Here , do you want to take a look ? +Thanks . Gee , it's really light ! +Yes , it is , isn't it ? A bit too light , really . What make have you got ? +I've got an old Ericsson . Here . Take a look . +Wow , that's really old . +Yes , I like collecting antiques . +Why don't you get a new one ? +I don't know . I like this one , and I don't have any need for all the bells and whistles you get on the new ones . +Really , what makes you say that ? +Well , I just need to make and receive calls , and it's quite reliable . I find that the more fancy stuff they put into these things , the more likely they are to break bown or go wrong , you know ? I mean , this camera function , for instance-how often do you use it ? +Sometimes , but I guess not very often . It's more for fun . Sometimes when I'm on a trip , for example , I can take a picture and send it to my kids . Or I can send a picture of a sample back to my office and get it costed up immediately . +Well , that's nice I guess . So how many kids do you have ? +Three . Two boys and a girl . +I ’ m sorry , but I can ’ t find the book that you lend me . +Oh , that ’ s alright . +I must apologize . I ’ ll buy you a new one tomorrow . +No . Please don ’ t . I couldn ’ t let you do that . +How did Jim get the money ? +He borrowed it from Nick . +He must be mad ! Nick is a loan shark . +He was too desperate to find some other way . +Are your ready to go to the supermarket ? +Yes , are you ? +I've got my money and my keys , so I'm ready . +You do know that it's absolutely freezing out , don't you ? I'd put a coat on if I were you . +It wasn't cold out this morning . +Well , it's started raining since then . Look out the window ! It's pouring rain out there ! +Have a look outside for me . Does that look like hail to you ? +It does , actually . Maybe we should wait for it to clear up before we go shopping . +That's a good idea . But maybe we should move the car so that the hail doesn't dent it . +Ok . I'll go move the car if you turn the heat on . It's a bit chilly in here . +How long do you think this hailstorm is supposed to last ? +I don't know . The weatherman didn't say anything about this in his weather report last night . +Maybe we should turn on the news in case it's supposed to get worse . +I don't think we have anything to worry about . Do you want to put on a cup of tea as well ? +Good idea . That will help us to warm up . +If I'm not back in ten minutes , come and find me . +Alright . I'll have a cup of tea waiting for you . +Is everything ready for the Christmas party ? +Almost . I ’ Ve put up the decorations , and we ’ Ve decorated the Christmas tree with plenty of tinsel and baubles . +I like the big star on the top of the tree . I ’ ll put the presents under the tree later , how ’ s the food . +I ’ Ve prepared most of it already and we ’ Ve got plenty of snack foods-you know , crisps , biscuits , and things . Are you going to make the punch ? +Yes . I ’ Ve bought all the things to go in it . It won ’ t take long to make . How many people are coming to the party ? +I think everyone will be coming . Dave don ’ t come because he has to go to his parent ’ s home and they live in Scotland . +Do we have Christmas pudding ? +Yes , we do . I hope we have enough for everyone . Did you send out all your Christmas cards in time ? +Yes , I did . I send most of them a week ago . I ’ Ve brought some with me to the party to give to people in person . +I did the same . I spent hours yesterday evening wrapping presents . I hope I didn ’ t forget to buy anyone something ! +I hope you didn ’ t forget mine ! +Today is the old couple ’ s golden wedding . +That must be a long love story . +Yeah . They promised to stick together forever when they were young . +They have made it . Will our love last 50 years ? +I don ’ t know . +Do you think you could keep the noise down ? +I'm sorry . Am I keeping you awake ? +Yes . And another thing , would you mind not making long distance calls ? +I'm sorry . I thought you wouldn't mind . +Hey , Brad . How was your day ? +Pretty good . Where are you going ? +I'm going home . +Wait . We have to return to our homeroom and wait to be dismissed . +Is that right ? +Our homeroom teacher has to take attendance again to make sure that we're all here . +So he takes attendance once in the morning and once in the afternoon . +Yeah . I'm going to my locker to get my jacket . Catch you later . +Mary and I decided to ring the curtain down on our love affair . +What ? You have been in love for six years , haven ’ t you ? +Don ’ t make a fuss . Many people divorce after having living together for many years . +What a pity . +Did you enjoy the movie ? +Oh , it's really a drag . +Sorry to hear that . I think it's even better than On the Golden pond . +Hell with it ! Nobody will give it an Academy award ! +I have some photos here taken by myself . Would you like to see them ? +Sure . Speaking of photos , what type of film will be the best ? You know , I'm planning a tour to Jiuzhaigou Valley . +I would get Fuji 200 film for taking photos of natural beauty . +Thank you so much . You're an expert . +How about you , Chuck ? Where did you grow up ? +Well , I was born in Ohio , but I grew up in Texas . +And when did you come to Los Angeles ? +In 1978 . I went to college here . +Oh . What was your major ? +Drama . I was an actor for five years after college . +That's interesting . So why did you become a hairdresser ? +Because I needed the money . And because I was good at it . Look ! What do you think ? +How are your wedding plans going ? +Very well . We ’ Ve got everything taken care of already . +Are you going to get married in the church ? +Neither of us is very religious , so we decided not to get married there . +Have you booked the hotel for the reception ? +Yes . The Palace Hotel . You have to be there . +No problem . +Look ! The girl is so beautiful and she is smiling at me . She is lovely . +I can't agree with you . She's pretty , but she always blows hot and cold . +What makes you think so ? +She's my sister , you know . +What's the matter with you ? You don't look well . +Nothing . Maybe it is just the weather . Rainy days often make me feel a little sad . +Really ? I like rainy days . The moisture in the air is good for my skin . +Sure . But it is too cold today . I have to put on warm clothes and look stupid . +Me , too . At this time of the year , I often miss my home in the warm south . +Philip , I was really glad to hear about your award . Congratulations ! +Thanks , Denise . Actually , I was really surprised . I mean , there were a lot of qualified people out there . +Sure . But the work you did was really exceptional ! You definitely deserved it ! +Thanks a lot . I expect to see your name nominated pretty soon , too . You ’ Ve been doing some great work ! +Hi ! I see you are having fun with your new computer and internet connection . +There ’ s so much I want to do . I ’ Ve just finished sending lots of emails to friends and family all over the world . I just ran a search for music to download . +I can give you the name of a few useful website to visit . +Thanks . That would be very helpful . I ’ Ve discovered that it can take a long time to find exactly what you want . There ’ s too much information on the net . +When you sent your emails , did you attach any files to them ? +Yes , I did . There ’ s an anti-virus program with my email account that scans all attachments , so I ’ m sure I haven ’ t sent anything nasty to anyone . +When you use the internet , be careful not to give out your email address very often . If you do , you might get a lot of spam-unwanted email from companies trying to sell you things . +That ’ s good advice . I should also be careful about giving out confidential information about myself , such as my password and credit car number . +That ’ s right . Another thing to remember when you are surfing is that you can add a web page to your list of favourites . Your computer will remember the page and you can return there quickly next time you want to visit . +How do I do that ? +Take this web page for example . Press the keys “ control ” and “ d ” together . Click on “ favourites ” at the top of the screen . There you are . It has been added to you favourites list . If you click it , you will automatically go to that web page again . +That ’ s useful to know . Thanks . I ’ ll just log off and shout down my computer and we can go for a coffee . +If you fall in love like him , you will go soft in the head , as well . +Come off it . +You want a bet ? +Why not ? +Is there any more vodka in that bottle ? +Hum , I think there's enough for one more , yes . +Marvelous . Pass it over . My name's George , by the way . +Nice to meet you , George . I'm Irene . +So Irene , what do you do ? +I'm in computing . I work for Macrohard . +Macrohard , eh ? +What do you do ? +I have my own company that designs computer systems . +Are you still busy today ? +It seems to be . How about you today ? +Fine , honey . Rome couldn't be built with in one day . +OK , I'll find the time to relax soon . +Take care , honey . I am always expecting you . +How are you feeling , champ ? Ready to go ? +You know , if I can keep up my workouts , I think I have a chance in 2004 . +In what ? +In gymnastics . I'm pretty flexible . Look ! I can even touch my toes ! +Can you do the vault ? +I do back flips at the pool all the time . +I've come to say good-bye . +When are you off ? +I'm flying home on Sunday afternoon . +Well , good-bye . See you soon . +Please don't forget to say good-bye to the rest of the family for me . +Have you ever noticed that serious pollution in modern cities goes from bad to worse ? +You said it . We ’ er breathing poisonous air every day . +I think it ’ s time for the government to take strong action . And people should try to protect environment . +I absolutely agree with you . +When will you be able to come here ? +I can't come until next week . +Okay , I'll have everything prepared for you when you get here . +Thanks , I'll see you around Wednesday then . +Who's that tall guy over there ? +Oh , that's George . He looks very drunk . +What's he like normally ? +Oh , he's really reserved , normally . But , from what I hear , he's got lots of problems . +Really ? What kind of problems ? +Well , off the record , of course , but I hear that he's got terrible debts . He has his own company , and it's not going very well . +Really ? Well , I hate to say this , but I'm not surprised . +Really ? What makes you say that ? +Well , he doesn't look very honest . +I know , that's the problem . He can't find any customers . It's a pity , really , because his products are very good . Oh , that reminds me . Did I tell you about my new laptop ? +Oh , don't talk to me about laptops . Mine crashed on Friday and I lost everything . I hate them . +Oh , really ? +Look , I need another drink . Do you want one ? +Yes , I'll have another cocktail . +Vodka martini ? +Absolutely . +I'll be back in a sec . +OK . I'll wait here for you . +John passed away . +When ? I saw him well last month . +Yesterday . He suffered from a serious disease . When he saw the red light , it was too late . +How terrible ! +Peter is a bag lady now . +That black sheep . It serves him right . +He was so rich in the past . Maybe he ’ s regretting his past mistakes now . +It ’ s too late . +Hello . Is this Ann ? +Yes , it is . Kelly ? +Yes , it's me . +Do you have a cold ? +No . Worse than that . I have a flu . I'm in bed with a fever . +Oh , no ! What about your presentation today ? +I'd like to do it , of course . But I just can't . I'm afraid I'd fall down in the middle of it . +I understand . What should I tell Mr . Morley ? +Why not just tell him I'm sick ? I'll ring him myself this afternoon . +Alright . Have you been to see a doctor ? +Not yet . I feel too lousy to go out.Anyway , I have a flu . I know what it is . I don't need a doctor to tell me that . +Do you think you'll be able to come in tomorrow ? Or should I call off your appointments for tomorrow too ? +I'm not sure yet.Maybe this will all be gone in a day.So it's probably better if you don't call off my appointments . I will call you later this afternoon and tell you what I think . +It's rainy weather today . Maybe it's better if you just stay inside.Make yourself some chicken soup and sleep . +Yes , that's what I plan to do . Except I won't make the chicken soup.Right now I don't think I could swallow more than a spoonful of it . +That bad , huh ? +Yeah , I'm very nauseous.It ' s mostly nausea and a fever . +Well , I'll cancel your appointments for today . And I'll tell Mr . Morley . +Thanks , Ann . Talk to you this afternoon . +Hope you feel better . +Susan , good evening . Why are you so dressed up ? +I am on my way out to a New Year ’ s banquet . How do I look ? Is my make-up OK ? +You look great . Your make-up is perfect . +Do you think I should wear a different dress ? +No , the one you have on looks fabulous , especially with your hair like that . +Thanks for saying . Do you have any ideas which necklace I should wear ? +With that dress I'd say your white diamond necklace would look perfect . +Thanks for helping out . Now that I ’ m ready , what are you doing tonight ? +Not much , just a house party with some friends . +Sounds fun . Anyone I know ? +Yeah , most of the people are from our office . +Sounds Like I'm missing out on a good time . Oh , well , there is always next year . +I ’ m sure you ’ ll have fun no matter where you go . Remember to take your bag . +Is it true that rice is the staple food in most of Southeast Asia ? +I'm not an expert , but that's the impression I have . +Is rice your staple food , too ? +Needless to say , as a Westerner , it's bread . +What do you like to do with your free time ? +Study English . +You mean you like to study English ? Why ? +It gives me great satisfaction . +Studying English wouldn't give me any satisfaction . It's hard work . +I don't mind the work . I think it's worthwhile . +Hi Bob , how ’ s business ? +Just okay . +Okay , enough small talk . Let ’ s get down to business . +Good idea . +Since we ’ re good friends , you don't have to pay me . +No , I can ’ t accept it . Business is business . +What a coincidence seeing you here . ! +It is , isn't it ? +We used to be very friendly , but it seems now that my daughter ’ s marriage has taken its toll of our relationship . +What do you mean ? +I don ’ t like her husband , that bad egg , but my daughter insists on marrying him . +She is a grow-up . She can make her own decision . +I wish she wouldn ’ t regret for her decision . +How wonderful it is to be in love ! It's love at first sight ! Oh . he's my Romeo ! +Hey , Julie . How's it going ? +Oh , Mary . You've surprised me ! +Who were you talking to ? +Um — I was just thinking aloud . +You look so happy . I see a twinkle in your eyes . +Come off it , Mary . +Oh , you have a crush on someone , don't you ? Maybe those are wedding bells in your eyes ! +You certainly do like teasing me , Mary . Well I'm in love with someone . The question is , how do I get his attention ? +Well , that's easy . Walk up to him and kiss him . +I guess I asked the wrong person . +Are you ready for the big competition today , Todd ? The winner gets two tickets to the Sydney Olympics ! +Steve , I was born ready ! I ’ m going to blow you guys off the treadmill today . +We ’ Ve still got a lot of time before we have to start running . +Let ’ s hit the whirlpool for a bit . It ’ ll help me loosen up . +You bet . I used to take a whirlpool almost every night back home . +John's very late.Do you think he's coming ? +Well , it doesn't seem like it.He must have forgotten . +I suppose you're right.He can't have remembered . +I've come to apologize for what I said yesterday . +Don ’ t think any more about it . +I must make an apology for losing my temper . +It ’ s really not necessary . I know your intention was good . +I ’ m relieved to hear that . Anyway , it ’ s my fault . +You are saying he will be promoted to the general manager ? +Yeah . +Are you sure ? +Yes . I bet my bottom dollar that he will get promoted . +Just because he gets on well with everybody ? +Partly , and he's also a hardworking man . +Would you like to come by and play bridge ? +Well , let's see.Why don't we go dancing for a change ? We haven't done that for a long time . +Well , to tell the truth , I don't really feel like it tonight . I had a pretty hard day and I'm sort of tired . +Hmm.Well , in that case , we could go to the movies . +Oh , we always go to the movies.Can ' t we do something different ? +Well , do you have any suggestions ? +Let's see.How do you feel about playing bridge ? +It's OK with me , but we don't have any beer and things . +Well , shall I call Janet and ask her and Tom to come over , and I'll go to the store and buy some stuff . +OK . +Hello , Janet.It ' s me ... Oh , fine.Just fine.Say , Janet , I was wondering if you and Tom were doing anything tonight ... No ? Well.would you like to come by our place and play a few hands of bridge ? +Hello , Tom . I'm really glad to meet you here . +I'm glad too . Steven , I want to tell you that I'm going to divorce my wife . +I'm so surprised , B . Why did you decide to end your marriage suddenly ? +We don't get along well with each other and fight a lot . +I didn't know that . I thought that you were happy together . +That isn't true . Actually , we have been separated for six months . +I can't believe it . But if you both determine to divorce , I hope you will have an amicable split . +Thank you , Steven . I accept your advice . +Hello , Tom . I'm really glad to meet you here . +I'm glad too . Steven , I want to tell you that I'm going to divorce my wife . +I'm so surprised , B .

Many people are learning how to drive now . +I will get registered now at once . Do you know any training schools ? +I am not sure . You can search for them on the Internet . +OK . look , I've typed driver schools , and there are so many results coming out . +Let me see . teetee Training School , summer program , 3,000 Yuan , learn how to drive within one month , and get driver's license within three months . +3,000 Yuan is a little bit steep . +I think so . Let's see the next one , 3,500 Yuan , summer program . Forget it . +I've heard that the Ideal Life School is famous . They offer many programs and there are many classes available . The charge is also fair . +Search on the Internet then , see if we can find something more about it . +Ah , got it . Ideal Life School , programs +Don't worry .

No one is allowed to send personal emails from the office . +really ? I didn't know that it was against company policy . +maybe your boss isn't so horrible after all ! +no , he is . Some bosses will bend the rules a bit sometimes , but not my boss . He always follows the rules to a T . +try not to let it bother you too much . +thanks . I better get back to my work before my boss yells at me again ! +ok , I'll see you in a bit . +alright . See you later ! +Hi , Mr . James , what's the rush ? +The bank closes in 30 minutes and I need to cash a check . +I can lend you some money . +Thanks . But it's necessary for me to buy a TV set . +Can I help in anyway ? +You can take me to the bank if you want to . +Sure . Let ’ s go . +He came to work late every day that week . Then on Friday , he didn't show up at all . +That was the straw that broke the camel's back . +Bob , you're so lucky that you've come at the right time-the 2005 International Tourism Festival is around the corner . +We've heard about that festival before . It would be quite helpful if you could give us some highlights of the festival . +My pleasure . Well , the festival is going to start on the third Saturday of October , and covers over one hundred diverse programs in one month . +What do you think we can see during the festival ? +I don't know what to suggest . There're so many attractions , and they all sound interesting . One exciting program might be the Ten Thousand People Cycling round the Town . You can choose from the five routes that lead to different destinations . +I'd like to take the one that goes to the Wild Animal Park . +Then you can take Route No . 5 . Next I would suggest the International Dragon Boat Race where you can watch Lion Dance , Dragon Boat racing , and many other water shows . +Wow , must be interesting to watch dragon boats compete a-gainst one another on the city river . +How do you know ? I thought Taiwanese people didn't have garage sales . +You're right . We're not really into used stuff . +Well , I've grown to like second-hand things . I wouldn't have gotten through university without them ! +There aren't many places that sell used things in Taiwan , besides auction websites . +I use those sites . Hey ! Let's go check out a flea market later . +Great ! I can teach you men a thing or two about shopping ! +What do you think of AC milan and the team of Argentine ? +They aren't evenly matched . +Yes , I think AC Milan's foot work is much better on the whole . +Yet the Argentine attacker is worth a bet . +Did you move into your new apartment ? +Yes , but I ’ m afraid it ’ s still a mess . I haven ’ t put anything away yet . +Don ’ t worry . It ’ ll probably take you about three weeks to get everything organized . +Don ’ t say that . It looks like a dump now . I can ’ t stand it . +Have you taken a walk around your neighborhood yet ? +Unfortunately , yes . +What do you mean by that ? +I took a long walk through the neighborhood this morning on my way to the train station . It took me 20 minutes . +Yes , but you only pay 800 dollars a month . Emm , it ’ s hard to decide which is better , shorter commuting time or lower rent . +I thought paying a lower rent would be better , but now I ’ m not sure . +Is there a supermarket nearby ? +Yes , if you consider 7-11 is a supermarket . +Sounds like you better buy a bicycle . +That ’ s right , or I ’ m going to spend a lot of time walking . +I want to buy a parking permit , please . +Are you a full-time student or do you attend part-time in the evenings ? +I attend both day and evening classes . +Will you be riding a motorcycle or do you drive a car ? +I ride a motorcycle . +That permit will run twenty-five dollars ; will that be cash or credit card ? +I'll use a credit card , thank you . +Do you need a second permit for a car ? +No , just the motorcycle permit . +Fine , here it is and have a great semester ! +What is that you have there ? +Aah ! Close your eyes . You aren't supposed to see this . +Ah ha ! I caught you . Just let me peek . I won't tell anyone . +You can't peek ! This is a surprise . +How about one little hint ? +Here's one little hint . If you don't go out right now , this won't be under the tree . +That's a very good hint . +And please shut the door and lock it behind you ! +Here's 30 yuan for my ticket . +Keep it . I'm buying tonight . +No , you can't do that . +Sure I can , my treat . +How are you doing with your English Language studies ? +I think I'm making good progress . +Is it harder than you thought ? +At first it was , but now I've got the basics.It ' s fun . +I am told that you dance like an animal . Why don ’ t you give a show in the front stage ? +Thank you . But I ’ m sorry I ’ m in a bad mood at the moment . +Did you enjoy that new movie ? +That movie's just a lot of noise , same as Simon . +Oh , what happened , Carole ? +I had to go by myself , he couldn't make it . +What ? I met him just before I took off from Kitty's , he said he was coming . +Kitty's ? He sure gets around , doesn't he ? +Looks like it . So how did he handle it to ? +His excuse was familiar . He said his car died again . +I think that's a bunch of nonsense . It seemed ok to me . +I know . Last week he gave me a lie about being too busy . +Doesn't sound promising . +Well , I think it's the time to pull the plug . +If you want I'll let him know if I run into him . +Thanks anyway , but I'll do it , Rebecca . Let's get to class . +Have you run into your cousin Jimmy lately ? +As a matter of fact , I have . I ran into him just the other day . +How's he doing ? +Not too well . He had to have four teeth pulled last week . +He did ? That's too bad ! +I think so , too . +Next time you see him , please tell him I'm thinking of him . +I'll be sure to do that . +Oh , my god ! +What ! +That's the cutest little doll I've ever seen in my life ! +Chill out . It's just Kenny from South Park . +What park ? You found a doll in a park ? Gross ! +South Park is a popular cartoon . You're so out of it , Jen +Well , don't blame me ! I never get a chance to watch TV . +Wait for me 。 +Okay . Take your time . +Can you believe the headlines ? +What are you reading ? +I'm reading about Michael Milliken , the Bond King . +Didn't he sell worthless stocks to people or something ? He got arrested for that , didn't he ? +He got arrested all right . +If I remember , he got off with a light sentence . Something like three years in a minimum-security prison . +Yup , that's him . He made millions of dollars selling bonds to people and ended up with a pile of cash when they became useless . +I think the government fined him a small amount , and he kept the rest in his foreign bank accounts . He's still a millionaire . +That's the kind of thing in America that gets me mad . Some guy pulls off a stock scheme and makes millions while spending the bare minimum sentence in jail . +I know . And some poor guy that robs a liquor store makes $ 500 at most and ends up in jail for five to ten years . +Yup , you got it . Criminals in America do a lot better if they're white-collar thieves . +So what's Michael Milliken up to these days ? +He's giving lectures on business at colleges . +He was once a poor man but now he is a man of means . +How did he make a fortune ? +He didn't make any effort . His aunt died and left him a fortune . +I didn't see you at Mr . Johnson's class today . +Yeah , I quit . +Why ? +I'm fed up with his boring lectures . +Why don't we Chinese have our own Valentine's Day ? +Of course we have . It's on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month . +Oh ? Why is that day ? +It is said that the Cowherd and the Spinster , the lover stars in heaven , can only meet on the seventh Eve , so this day has become the Lover's Day . +The idea about Friday the Thirteenth is totally ridiculous . I don't believe it at all . +Maybe you can't be so sure . +Why not ? The whole idea is superstitious . +But some people use this occasion to create trouble . Have you heard of the Black Friday Virus on the computer ? It is designed to break out on every Friday the Thirteenth . +I know that . But that has nothing to do with being unlucky . Those who created the virus are deliberately making fun of people . +I am not sure what to do during the holidays , any suggestions ? +Well , going to a cinema , visiting the galleries , exhibitions and museums , finding and meeting old friends , exercising in the health club or mountain biking . There are so many good choices . +The problem is that I find all of them are full of fun . I just don ’ t know what to do first . +Why not start with the most interesting one ? +Actually , I ’ m interested in all of them . The more choices we have , the harder to make a decision . +Toss a coin to decide then . +Hello , Jack ! Fancy meeting you here ! +Yes , it's really a surprise . How are you ? +Fine . How is Jim ? +Oh , he is all right . But busy as usual . Well , why don't we have a good chat at a bar ? It's been long time since we met each other last time . +Good idea ! +Jenny , are you having a good time ? +Yes , of course . This is a really wonderful party with interesting people and great food . +I ’ m glad you are enjoying yourself . +Thank you for the invitation . +It ’ s my pleasure . Can I get you another glass of champagne ? +Yes , I ’ d love another glass . You ’ re a wonderful host . Thank you for everything . +It ’ s my pleasure having you here . +I was wondering if I could borrow the company van for a fundraiser this weekend . +Sure , I think that would be possible . Where is the fundraiser ? +It is in the park downtown . +Would you need it for both Saturday and Sunday ? +We will need it for Saturday only . +I think that would be OK . Who will be driving it ? +Mary and I will be driving the van . +Could you drop it off on Sunday night ? +Yes , we can do that . Can we borrow the chairs from the lunchroom also ? +Yes , that would be fine . Just make sure that everything is returned by Sunday night . +Good morning , Kevin . +Morning , Lee . How are you ? +Very well , thank you . +I ’ d like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you did for me . +It ’ s my pleasure . I enjoyed working with you . +I wouldn ’ t be able to make it without your help . +Then keep up the good work . +Hi , dear , do you know what the important day is today ? +I don ’ t know . +Please think it over . +Oh , I see . +Come on , dear . I know you mustn ’ t forget it . +It ’ s Saturday , a great weekend . +Ur , you really let me down . +Don ’ t be angry with me . I have a bad memory . +No , you haven ’ t . You just don ’ t care about me . You ’ re an indifferent husband . +What day is it on earth ? +It ’ s an anniversary of our weeding . +What can I do for you ? +Would you recommend some materials on the World War Two ? +Have you found a particular item from the card catalogue ? +Yes , but I don't think they are enough for me . +Oh , maybe you can find something from the New York Times , or the Washington Post during that period . +That's a good idea . Thanks a lot . +You are welcome . +Some people pile on their agonise and try to seek other ’ s sympathy by telling them how miserable they are . +Yeah . They take the advantage of other people's hospitality and generosity . +I was fooled once . A lady told me she needed some money to keep the pot boiling . So I gave her some money and bailed her out of the situation . But later I learned that she had lied to me . +You are still wet behind the ears . You should have seen through her . +Nothing rang a bell . +Hi , Celia ! How was your trip to the United States ? +It was terrific . I really enjoyed it . +Great . How long were you away ? +I was there for about three weeks . +That's a long time ! Was the weather OK ? +Yes , most of the time . But it snowed a lot in Chicago . +So , what was the best thing about your trip ? +Oh , that's difficult to say . But I guess I liked Nashville the best . +I am really impressed with your presentation skills . +Thank you . I have been working on it for several years . +Well , your time has been well spent ! +It also helps that I have strong team members , such as yourself . You really know your stuff ! +Thanks , but I have to admit I am really good at bluffing ! +welcome back ! How was your vacation ? +it was fantastic , but I'm glad to be back ! Being a tourist is really tiring ! +where did you end up going ? +because it's off-season , we got a really good package deal to Paris , so we went there . +I've always wanted to go to Paris . The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world ! Did you go to the top ? +that was the first thing we did . I have a few pictures . Do you want to see them ? +sure . What's this one a picture of ? +oh , that's a picture of me on our fourth day of travelling . I'm standing next to a famous foundation in the centre of the city . +you don't look very happy in that picture . +no , by that time , I was sick of sightseeing . I had had enough of art galleries , cathedrals , fountains , statues , and palaces ! +so what did you do ? +we spent that afternoon walking around a flea market . We had a few coffees , watched a movie , and went for a swim in the pool at the hotel . +my travel agent always reminds me to plan a day of relaxing for every 3 days of sightseeing . Did you go to the Louvre ? +of course ! You can't go to Paris without going to their famous art gallery ! I was surprised by how small the Mona Lisa was though . +that's what everyone says ! I can't wait to see it for myself some day . +What does she do ? +She works as a teller in a bank . +Does she go to night school ? +Yes . She goes three times a week . +Why ? What does she want to be ? +She wants to be a manager . +What classes does she take ? +She takes classes in accounting and business . +I'm afraid I've spilt ink all over the table-cloth . +Oh , never mind about that . +I'm terribly sorry . Won't you let me pay for it ? +No , I won't hear of it . +Hi , Mike . We're having a party tonight , wanna come join us ? You can bring your girlfriend . +Well . I am breaking up with Cathy . +What happened ? Did you have a fight ? +No . She is really a very nice girl ... +Yeah , she is . She is pretty , caring , getting easy-going and she is a great cook . She is a gem . +Well , you are right . But sometimes she is too caring . Well , no ... she ’ s just possessive and I kind of want a break ... you know ... for some room for myself . +Oh ? ! Did you talk with her about it ? +I've tried , but it didn't work . +So , when are you going to tell her ? +Maybe tonight . I don't know . I don't know how to tell her . +I know she ’ s head over heels in love with you . She will be badly hurt ! +I know ... +You saved my life yesterday , Rachel . I can't believe I forgot to bring my wallet when we went to lunch with those clients . +It was a good thing I had enough on me . +Let me buy you lunch today to pay you back . +Jenny , what's wrong with you ? Why do you keep weeping like that ? +Mary told me that she had seen you with John last night . I got to know the fact that you are playing the field . +Honey , cross my heart , I'v never looked at another woman since the first day I set my eyes on you ! Believe me , that's the truth . +How delicious ! Tender and crisp ! +This is the specialty of our restaurant , sir . +Yes , it's really savory . +Thank you for appreciating it . +I am tired of everything in my life . +What ? How happy you life is ! I do envy you . +You don ’ t know that I have been over-protected by my mother these years . I am really about to leave the family and spread my wings . +Maybe you are right . +What's all the security check about , Jimmy ? Does it mean the bar may be a dangerous place ? +No , of course not . Just in case . Nothing to worry about . Don't you also do this in China ? +I don't know . Maybe the same . Actually , this is my first time being in a bar . +Oh , then it's my honor to be here with you . I can see now why you've been so curious about the bar . You like this place ? +Sure . I love this place , especially the decoration . So tasteful ! +Yeah . Other than that , the real feature is the excellent drinks . Can I have your ticket ? +Here it is . But , what for ? We're already in . +Well , with the ticket , you can get a free drink . What would you like ? Orange juice ? +Yes , orange juice will be fine for me . But how can you get the drink ? It's so crowded there around the counter . You can barely move . +I'll show you how . The bar tenders know whose turn it is . And also , I can snap my fingers to catch his attention . +Cool . Thanks . ( Jimmy brings May a glass of orange juice . ) +Oh , fresh juice , I love it . Well , I heard American people love hanging out in bars . Is that true ? +Not everyone . But a lot of people do , especially the young . It's a fine place to spend an evening with friends or to make some new friends . +Interesting . Hey , look over there . The dance floor is already packed with people . Oh , the girl in red dances great . +Yeah , a dancing queen . Wanna go and join them ? +Maybe later . I wanna take some photos first . +OK . Let me help you to hold the drink . +Thank you . +Hey , Mary , nice to see you again . I heard you're going back home to the U . S .. +Yes . I'm leaving tomorrow . I came here just because I want to say good-bye to you . +You're so thoughtful . Wish you a good trip home . And we'll miss you . +I'll miss you too , my friends . +You know that ? Dan got a divorce . +Really ? I thought he loved his wife very much . +Yeah . But his relation with Sally come to a sticky end and was found by his wife . +He deserved it . +Mr.Ben , What do you think of the book ? +It's an excellent one . I like it very much . +Why ? +It includes a lot of useful words and phrases . +I agree with you . +Come and sit down . Would you like a drink ? +Oh , yes please ! I'd love a gin and tonic . +Do you like olives ? Or would you prefer crisps ? +Oh , just olives please . What music is this ? +Do you like it ? It's Irish music . +It's great ! Where did you get the CD ? +Arm - I think it was in the CD shop in the Mall . Have you been there ? +Yes . I buy a lot of stuff from there . It's a good shop , isn't it ? +Yes . Hey , I've got some photos of our holiday in Ireland . Would you like to see them ? +Why not ? I'd love to ! +Anita , I ’ Ve been here only three days and you ’ re leaving already . +Just for a few weeks . I need this vacation . You ’ ll be all right . You know the project we ’ re working on , and you ’ re a good scientist . Don ’ t worry . I ’ ll be back as soon as I spend or gamble all my money . +Gambling ? Where ? +Las Vegas . I find gambling relaxing . I don ’ t take it seriously , the way some people do . Besides , I love the shows and the all-night atmosphere of the town . The casinos never close , you know . +If you gamble all night , you ’ ll run out of money in a few days . +What ’ s the Mountaineering Club doing this weekend ? +We are going to climb a cliff on the Colorado River . +How hard is the climb ? +It is a very difficult climb because there are not many places to put your hands and feet . +What did you do last week ? +We rappelled down the side of 300 - foot cliff . It was very exciting . +Wow ! That sounds like a lot of fun . I ’ m sorry I missed it . +Well , you should come this weekend . I think you could do the climb . +Yeah , I will . See you then ! +O . K . See you . +Lucy , what are your priorities when buying a car ? +I guess the first thing is the price , the second is the size , and of course the color will play a role too . But I have to be honest . It is our today ’ s responsibility to take care about our environment . Therefore , I will also pay attention to the fuel consumption of the car . You know , the rise in gasoline prices is huge . So I would rather to consider a smaller car with smaller engine . For which I can also save some tax . Last of the list , I also consider the safety . +What about the environmental factors ? +Well , I do prefer the lower emission cars as long as it doesn ’ t cost much . Some environmentally-friendly cars are really expensive . +Sure they are . Some hi-tech devices are built in to make sure they pollute less . Some of these green cars have not become standard . So the production costs are still high . But anyway , we should make efforts to start with . +I don ’ t think I can take another semester of this dorm food . +I know what you mean , it leaves a lot to be desired . +Sure , like taste , variety , nutritional value , what I should do is move into an apartment off campus where I can cook for myself . +Have you found anything yet ? +You know how hard it is to find a decent place at this time of year ? +You should be able to find something comfortable in town , though that would be kind of far from school . +I got a car , so the distance wouldn ’ t really be a problem . +But the parking might be . +You bet ! +Richard , why didn't you come to school today ? +I'm sick . I think I've got the flu . +Well , take care of yourself . +Thanks for everything . +Don't mention it . +You look pale , you must have poor health . +Yeah . You said it . +Why not go to see the doctor ? +I ’ Ve done that . The doctor advised me to cut out smoking and drinking . +William , do you like studying English ? +I like studying English , and I can read well , but speaking can be difficult . +It's not that bad . If you talk to your American friends every day , you'll learn quickly . +Can I ask you a question ? +Sure , what do you want to know ? +I have my book from class here . How do you say this word ? +Laptop . +Sorry , I don't understand . What does that mean ? +A laptop is a type of computer that you can carry with you . Do you understand ? +Yes , I think so . Can you say it again ? +Laptop . +Laptop . Did I pronounce that correctly ? +Yes , that's right . That's very good . +Thanks . And this word ? How do you pronounce this ? +That word is pronounced kitchen . +Thanks so much . You're a good teacher . +Thanks . +I can see you've got some color back in your cheeks . +Yes , I find jogging does good to me , so I keep on doing it . +You've formed a sound habit . +I think so , too . +I ’ m not a Christian . I just want to know why Americans believe that sort of thing . +Believe what ? +You know ... like , say God is the creator of the universe , the Bible , and Jesus Christ ... +You don ’ t believe that ? Everyone interprets the Bible in a different way . To some people , the Gospel 5 is a source of much comfort . +What do you believe , John ? Are you Christian ? +To tell you the truth , I don ’ t know if I ’ m a Christian or not . Christians don ’ t often share the same belief . But I believe that we all possess , by the grace of God , the potential to create fantastic changes on this earth . +Do you believe that one religion is better than another ? +No , all religions are essentially based on the same ideals , so no one is really better . +Do you go to church regularly ? +When I ’ m home in the States , I go , but not in China . +I ’ Ve decided to go to the cinema alone this evening . +What has caused you to make such a decision ? Didn ’ t you used to go with Helen ? +Helen is nice but she talks a lot . +Oh . That ’ s really annoying when seeing a film . +It sure is . +Hello everyone ! I ’ m Rick Fields , and here with me is Bob Copeland . +Howdy folks , and welcome to today ’ s game ! You know , Rick , today is a key game between Russia and Canada . As you know , the winner will move on to the finals . +That ’ s right , and it looks like we ’ re just about ready to start the match . The ref is calling the players for the face-off ... and here we go ! The Russians win possession and immediately set up their attack ! Federal gets checked hard into the boards ! +Maurice Richard has the puck now , and passes it to the center . He shoots ! Wow what a save by the goalie ! +Alright , the puck is back in play now . Pavel Bure is on a breakaway ! He is flying down the ice ! The defenders can ’ t keep up ! Slap shot ! He scores . +What an amazing goal ! +Well , Mike , nowadays there's much talk about nanometer . But what on earth is it ? +Nanometer is a length scale . It's one billionth of a meter , roughly ten times the size of an individual atom . +Hmm ... it's hard to figure out the exact size , I'm afraid . +Well , let's make it this way . For comparison , 10 NM is 1000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair . There are as many nanometers in an inch as there are inches in 400 miles . +I see.Thank you . +What are you doing for Christmas this year ? +All my relatives are getting together at my house . +That's great . M OST of my family is coming home too . +Who can't make it in your family ? +My sister.She is going to her in-law's house this year . +That's too bad . So , what did you ask for Christmas this year ? +I asked Santa to bring me a new sweater and some computer games . +I want some computer games also . I gave my parents a really long Christmas list . +I hope that I get what I asked for . +So what does your family do on Christmas Day ? +We wake up early and go to church.Then we come back home and open our gifts together . How about you ? +Our family is a little different . We go to church on Christmas Eve instead . +Matthew ? Hi ! +Steve ! Haven't seen you in ages ! How long's it been ? +it's got to be almost a year now . +how have you been ? +I'm pretty good . I've been looking for a place to live recently . My lease runs out next month and I don't want to renew it . +yeah , I remember the neighborhood . Have you found a place yet ? +not yet . I am still looking through the classifieds . Wish me luck . +well , maybe I can help . Remember my neighbor ? +Mrs . Thou ? +yes , her daughter's having a baby , so she's moving in with her to help out . I think if you are interested , you can come over and have a look . +great . It's a lovely neighborhood . And it would be nice to be neighbors again . It would be just like the old days ! +I'll ask Mrs . Thou when she's available to show the apartment and let you know . Has your number changed ? +Hey , How's it going ? +Not good . I lost my wallet . +Oh , that's too bad . Was it stolen ? +No , I think it came out of my pocket when I was in the taxi . +Is there anything I can do ? +Can I borrow some money ? +Sure , how much do you need ? +About 50 dollars . +That's no problem . +Thanks . I'll pay you back on Friday . +That'll be fine . Here you are . +What are you going to do now ? +I'm going to buy some books and then I'm going to the gas station . +If you wait a minute I can go with you . +OK . I'll wait for you . +Well , Jeff , that was a very productive meeting , I thought . You had some really great ideas in there ! +Really ? Well , thanks for saying so . +No , I mean it . Look , are you hungry ? Shall we go get something to eat ? +Sure . Why not ? +OK , well , let me just get my coat and we'll go to the diner around the corner . +OK . +Sometimes you look like brains , and sometimes you are simple a Barbie Doll . +I don ’ t know whether I am a Barbie Doll or you are one . +Maybe I am a Barbie Doll , but I won ’ t do Barbie Doll things . +Well , I am not going to flog a dead horse . Let get down to our brass tasks and tidy these things up . +I heard you were on a date last night ! So , how did it go ? I want all the juicy details ! +Um ... well , actually , we had a fantastic time last night . He was ... amazing ! +Okay , now you really have to fill me in . What ’ s he like ? +He ’ s really good looking , he ’ s quite tall , around 6 ’ 1 ” , he ’ s in his early thirties , and he ’ s got the most beautiful dark brown eyes ... +He sounds hot ! What does he do for a living ? +You know what , this is the best part . David is a junior investment banker at Fortune Bank , so he ’ s got a great career path ahead of him ! +Hold on a sec , his name is David ? +Yeah ? +That ’ s my brother ! +Hi , Steven ! What do you like to do during the weekend ? +I love swimming and cycling . On Saturday morning I usually ride my bike around the city or the country road for almost two hours . +That ’ s great ! I think they do you a lot of good . +Sure , they do . +But why do you choose cycling at first ? +Because it is convenient and good for environmental protection . +You are really a good citizen . +That ’ s what I can do . +Matthew , do you know much about body language in countries around the world ? +Sure , I've picked up a few things from travelling around for work . Why ? +Well , I had a meeting today with a woman from Japan and she wouldn't stop bowing ! I didn't know what to do ! +Did you bow back ? +No , I tried to shake her hand , but her hand was so limp I was a bit offended . +Well , Japanese businessmen and women typically bow to greet each other in Japan . She might have been offended by your strong handshake . +But she was in America ! Shouldn't she have known that strong handshakes in America signify confidence and respect ? +Things are different in Japan . You know , in some countries , making eye contact with others is considered rude . +Is that why she wouldn ’ t look at me in the meeting ? +I think it's highly possible , yes . +The meeting really didn ’ t go down well at all . I think I need to read up about intercultural communication before I have another meeting with someone from another country . +That's a good idea . When you don ’ t know much about other cultures , the simplest thing can offend someone . +That's so true . It's great that we see eye to eye on this . +It's raining . +Oh , no ! Not again . +How was your trip to Brazil ? Did you learn anything ? +I had no idea how seriously that country takes soccer ! +Tell me about it . +Okay . In the middle of their streets there are parks , big soccer fields as far as you can see . +Really ? +That's not all . They use them ! Every night men , women , children all out there till 3 and 4 a . m . +Are you serious ? +I don't know how they function the next day !

Maybe it means we can buy something through the Internet . +That's right +It must be very convenient and pretty quick . +Sure , but you must have access to the Internet . +Michael Johnson doesn ’ t look graceful , but he sure is powerful . +If I were on as many steroids as he was , I think I ’ d be powerful , too . +What are you talking about ? ! He ’ s passed every drug test he ’ s taken ! +Those drug tests don ’ t mean anything ! He probably took some other drugs to mask the steroids . +Just because Ben Johnson was juiced up doesn ’ t mean all athletes are . +OK , OK . I ’ m feeling a little dehydrated . Let ’ s get something to drink . +Hi Wei , what are you going to do this weekend ? +I think I ’ ll stay in on Saturday and rest . +Oh right ...

Curly ? +Straight , I think , and about average length +Boy , this sure doesn't help us much . It could be anybody . How about his cloth ? What was he wearing ? +I'm feeling wonderful . +Are you crazy ? The papers make everybody listless . I don't think you are the exception +I'm no exception , and that's why I spent a whole afternoon in the swimming pool . +I'd better exercise my body too.My limbs are rusty now . +I'm going to the store downtown this afternoon to try on my wedding dresses . +Oh my gosh , how exciting ! +Will you come with me and help me choose ? +Sure , I will .

I'm sure you'll be the loveliest bride ever ! +Tom , did you see the film last night ? +Yes , I did , I thought it was a failure . +Do you really think so ? I don't think so . It wasn't that bad film at all . Didn't you hear the applause of the audience ? +Well , maybe so .

You've been sitting there for hours . You've got to walk around.You just can't stay on the computer forever . +Well , I am up to my neck in work . I've got to finish this report . Sarah needs it by noon . I don't want to be scolded if I can ’ t finish my work by the deadline . +I understand that , but you'd feel better if you took a break , even for just a short while . +Are there many idioms in English ? +There are hundreds and hundreds . English is particularly rich in idiomatic expressions . +Can you give us an example ? +I'll look up the rate . To look up doesn't mean to look high into the sky or to look at the roof . It means to search for and find some information . +What about the expression Goodbye ? Is that an idiom ? +That is just a natural , grammatical English expression . It has a direct translation in other languages . +This is interesting , Ms.Parker . +Have you ever thought of going to Africa ? +No , it might be dangerous there . +Would you like to go with me ? +I'd like to , but I'm tied up with my paper . +Are you a wrestler or a boxer ? +No.Why ? +Your muscular shoulders and chest impress me so . +Oh , really ? I go to the rye every day . +Merry Christmas ! +The same to you ! +Are you doing anything special ? +We're having some friends over.What are you doing ? +Oh . I'm just going to take it easy . +So Kim , have you ever had anything stolen ? +Stolen ? No , why ? +My uncle just had his motorcycle stolen a few nights ago . I was just thinking about how clever criminals are these days . +Criminals are clever ? They're only successful when people are careless . +I don't know . The ones who stole my uncle's motorcycle were pretty good . +If your uncle had an alarm system , then it wouldn't have happened . +He did . It was one of the best ones available . But that didn't stop them from disabling 11 it . And on a crowded street too . +Didn't anyone stop them ? +You would think that people would be smart enough to stop something like that . No one knew his motorcycle was being stolen . The thieves came in a truck and convinced everybody that my uncle was parked illegally and they were there to tow it away . +Wow , they were good . I guess criminals aren't that dumb after all . +That's not the end . They were so good that they convinced a bystander to help them lift the motorcycle and put it in the truck . +He has a long head , I bet he will do well in his business . +He does , he started five years ago and now ends up the richest among us . +When we were students , he was no good in any subject . +It seemed to be useless to study well when we were young if we examine his case . +Charles , have you finished your homework ? +Not yet , Grandma , What's the matter ? +I want you to have a walk with me . +I'll finish soon . +Look ! There's even a built-in handle to carry it with . +But it's so thin . There's no way that it comes with a CD-ROM . +Oh , yes , it does . Look , here it says that the CD-ROM is built-in ! +What other features are listed ? +It says that it comes in teal and tangerine . +Totally cool colors ! +And it says that it sleeps . +Actually I have a passion for Chinese literature . +You do ? +Yeah , those classics from the great writers . +But I find Japanese ones better . +How is grandpa doing recently ? +Not good . The doctor told him not to smoke again , but it just rolls off him like water off the duck ’ s back ! +Maybe I would talk with him someday . +I hope it will be of some use . +How is everything going with your girlfriend ? +Didn ’ t I tell you ? It ’ s over ! +Oh , I am sorry to hear that . I did ’ t know that you had split up . What happened ? +It was a few things . The first thing that happened was that we were supposed to go out for a romantic dinner for our one year anniversary , but she stood me up ! +Really ! Did she tell you why she didn ’ t show up ? +No , but I ended up finding out later that night when I saw her with another man at a club near my home ! +What was she thinking ? Did you confront her about it when you saw her ? +I wanted to , but I knew that if I spoke to her , I'd just blow up at her , so I decided to just go home . I called her later that night , but she didn't answer the phone . +I can ’ t believe she would do that to you . It ’ s so dishonest---and rude ! +I know . I still haven ’ t heard from her . The good thing is that I ’ m so angry with her that I don ’ t feel sad about not having her around . +I bet you she regrets what she ’ s done . You were such a good catch ! She really lost out , didn ’ t she ? +I guess so . It would be nice to know why she did this though . +I know . It ’ s always nice to have some closure , but I don ’ t think you ’ ll have a problem finding another girlfriend . +Eric , how long will you be in China ? +I don't know . Well , my contract here is for one year , and I don't know what I should do after that . Maybe going around for a while . +Well , have you ever thought about learning some Chinese ? +Actually , I am learning that now . But it's too hard for me . You know the four tones and the stuff . It really freaks me out . +Don't worry . All things are difficult before they are easy . +You hit the nail right on the head . +Well , are you invested in some language-exchange program ? +What is it ? +It's where I teach you Chinese , and in exchange you teach me English . +Awesome . I've been giving this a lot of thought . When can we do this ? +How about this sunday ? +Ok , cool . +Good . I'll give you a call tonight . +No problem . +Bye . +Doris , I'm glad you're home . I'm terrified . I don't know what to do ! +What is it ? What happened ? +I think someone is stalking me . +No , it can't be . Really ? Who ? +I don't know . I saw him the first time Tuesday . He was at the cafe . I noticed he was looking at me a lot . Not just the usual looking , but staring.He just kept staring at me . He didn't stop . +What did you do ? +I didn't do anything . Finally , he left.But then I saw him again today . Outside the shoe store . Near the cafe . I went into a CD store and pretended I was looking at CD's . But then he came in too . +Did he leave when you left ? +Yes . Then I noticed he was on the sidewalk behind me . He was following me . +What did you do ? +He followed me all the way home ! +That's about five blocks . And around corners too.So he was definitely following you . +Yes , he was . I'm not imagining it.Finally , just when I got home , I turned around and looked at him.He was just standing there . He didn't smile . He just stood there . It was so obvious.What should I do ? I'm so scared . Can I call the police ? +Actually , I don't think you can call the police . Not yet at least.He hasn't done anything . And probably the police will just ignore it.But if anything happens again , then maybe you should call . +Why can't I call the police now ? He was definitely following me ! +Of course you can call the police if you want . That's not what I mean . I'm just saying that they probably won't do anything . +I suppose . What can they do ? I don't even know who he is . +Listen , Carol . Don't let this bother you too much.Probably it's nothing . Just keep your eyes open when you go out.If you see him a third time , and if he follows you again , then I think we should go to the police.But for now , just try not to worry . +Alright . And I won't go to that cafe for awhile . +Hello , Mrs . Taylor . I'm here to pick up Diane . +Hi , Ben . Come in . Diane's not ready yet , so you'll have to wait a few minutes . +Hi , Lucy ! +Hi.It ' s a wonderful wedding , isn't it ? +Yes , It's very great . +Mary's father is a rich man , isn't he ? +You are right , Mary's father is responsible for the entire wedding-arrangement , costs , etc . I think he must spend much money . +Will Mary and her husband be ready to leave for their honeymoon ? +Yes.Look ! Mary is going to throw the bride bouquet . +Oh , I'll try to catch it . +What dressing would you like on the salad ? +French dressing , please . +I beg your pardon ? +Oh , French dressing . +Sorry , it's not available now . Anything else ? +We still prefer French dressing . +Will you say it again ? +Who's your manager ? Tell me ! Would you ? +I ’ ll be away for a moment . +Yes ? Anything I can do for you ? +Look ! I ’ v been watching that man down in the street . He keeps peeping into the shop . Keep your eyes skinned for that guy , will you ? +Ok . +Is there something wrong ? You look so sad . +My house was robbed last night and the thieves stole all my furniture . +No wonder you look so upset . Have you called the police ? +Yes , I have . But I have to wait . +Hi , Doris . You look a little bit down . What's the matter ? +Well , I'm leaving Japan and I'm going back to London , tomorrow . +Really ! +Yeah . +How do you feel about that ? +Well , I do feel quite down because I am going to miss Japan after being here for 9 months , in Japan . I am going to miss it so much , cause I've had a great time here . +Mm , so what are you going to miss about Japan ? +Oh , I am going to miss the people , the food , the night life . Especially the nightlife . +What especially about the night life are you going to miss ? +Well , I really like dancing . And I enjoy going out to night clubs and to restaurants and eating Japanese food also and I'm really going to miss that because it's very different to London . +How are the clubs different in Japan than in London ? +Well , here there are many different clubs you can get into , for free , you don't have to pay , some of them . In London it's really expensive for drinks and an entry fee . +Ahh ... What a fine day ! I do feel like an outdoor exercise . +How about taking a walk in the park ? +OK . It's delightful to have a walk in the park with the air so fresh . +Oh , it's so quiet here . We have the park to ourselves , only you and me ! +Don't you see many people over there ? Just on your left . +Oh , I see them . Some are doing Taijiquan , some are performing swordplay , some are practising the Chinese Wushu . +A growing keep-fit fever is sweeping over China . +You are late again , Maria . The teacher is about to come . +I know . I have to prepare the supper for the whole family before I leave . +Oh , Ben has been cooking for us since I started attending this evening class . The good thing is , he has made great progress in cooking . +The housework is really a big problem for me . My husband is on a business trip to the U . S . now and I have to take care of everything myself . +How about your one-year-old baby ? +I've asked my parents to live with us for a while , so they can look after her for me while I am at work or in the class . +How sweet of them ! I have to work in the day time , study at night , and do housework during my spare time . I really hope I have eight arms and legs , like an octopus . +Me too . Sometimes I do want to give it up . I can't deal with so many things at a time . +When is your Adult College Entrance Exam ? +It's close coming up at the end of this month . That will be no more than 15 days from now on . +Oh , my Adult College Entrance Exam is also around then . I don't know if I can pass it . +Why don't you take the CPA exam ? You are already a good accountant , having so many years of experience . +I just want to study in a college , majoring in economics . I've had this dream for a long time . +Steve , when are you going back to America ? +Next week . +Wow , so soon ! I'm going to miss you . +what's the matter with you ? You look so upset and tired . +My father failed in business . +Oh , that's really tough . +Maybe it is the most difficult period of my family have experienced . +I can understand . By the way , is there anyway I can help ? +No , not now . I have found a part-time job . So perhaps I can help my family to come over the difficulties . +Oh , that's so great , bless you ! if you need me , I'll always be there . +Thank you . +How did you two meet ? +To tell you the truth , it was completely accidental . +Have we met ? +I don't think so . Michael . +Hello , Michael . My name's Shirley . Pleased to meet you . +Pleased to meet you , too , Shirley . So , what do you do ? +I work in marketing . I'm a regional marketing manager for an IT company . Normally , I work out of Beijing , but I'm here on business . My friend Judy over there , she lives here and she invited me to this party . And you ? How about you ? +I live here . I was invited by George-he's the tall guy over there . He looks a bit drunk , actually ... +Well , what a nice day ! +Yeah , the air is really fresh . +But it was not at all so fine yesterday . +Because it rained last night . +Did it ? +It sure did . It was a heavy storm , with lots of thunder . +I was fast asleep , and didn't hear a thing . +Well , it may rain again later today . +Maybe . I see some dark clouds moving in . +There may also be a strong wind coming in . +It'll be dusty , too , I guess . +Maybe not . Dust is no longer a big problem in Beijing . +Why is that ? +We've been planting trees for many years . +I see . The fall in Beijing is really beautiful . +But the summer isn't . It's scorching in the summer . +Then what about spring ? +Spring is warm and short in Beijing . +It must be cold in the winter , though . +You got it . Oh , by the way , it may be really cool in the evening around this time of the year . Don't forget to put on more clothes , or you might catch a cold . +Thanks for reminding me . +You're welcome . +I hear you're being sent to Madrid for the annual conference . Is that right ? +Yes , it would be my first trip overseas . Actually , it's going to be my first time leaving the country . +Are you serious ? You haven't even been anywhere on vacation ? +No , I have never vacationed anywhere exotic . But even if I don't get a chance to travel on my personal time , at least I can travel on company time ! +Well , being able to go to the conference sounds like such a great opportunity . Have you applied at the embassy for a visa yet ? +Yes , it wasn't too hard to get . All I had to do was fill out the paperwork and pay the application fee . +You leave next Tuesday , right ? What time is your flight ? +My flight departs at 7 am . I have everything except for my luggage ready . +If your flight is leaving so early , I can take you to the airport and see you off . I'll still be able to make it into the office by 9 . +That would be great ! Thanks a lot ! +I've been thinking of taking I've been thinking of taking a Crazy English course.Do you think it's a good idea +Sure ! You should do anything you can to improve your English . +Really ? Do you think English is that important ? +Of course it is.In fact , I'll even take the course with you if you want . +Great ! It's always better to do things with a friend . +Do you have the phone number ? I need to call for registration . +No , I left it at home.Sorry ! +That's OK . I can get it from you later . +So , do you want to go somewhere for dinner and practice our English together tonight ? +All right . I know a great restaurant near here.But , it's a little expensive and I don't have much money with me . +No problem . I just got paid.It ' s my treat . +Thank you ! I'll be sure to return the favor after our first class , OK ? +Forget it ! That's what friends are for ! Besides , I have a VIP card for a discount . +Good job ! This is going to be a great night ! +I think so too.Let ' s go ! +What are you and Corey doing for Valentine ’ s Day this Friday ? +Probably nothing . +You have to do something romantic . +Romantic ? I can't remember what that word means . +Well , you have three kids , so you knew what it meant once upon a time ! +Ha , ha ! Those days are long gone . +Do you take a bus to and from work ? +Yeah , everyday . And there ’ s only one choice.All the other buses are going the other direction . +Hmm . I have the same problem . When I leave work , it ’ s always rush hour.So the buses are always crowded . +Oh , yeah , it ’ s terrible . I will tell you the funniest thing I have seen in China . It ’ s when so many people try to get onto one city bus , and the last guy is squeezed in so tight that the door is tightly pressed against his butt . +That sounds terrible the way you describe it . But you know , not long ago I really suffered on the bus . +What happened ? Were you having a hard time getting on a bus ? +You just can ’ t imagine ! I waited for the first bus but it was too full , so I waited for the second , and it was still very crowded . Then I decided not to wait for the next one , and got on the second bus . It was so full that I had to stand on one foot ! No kidding ! +Hmm . Good exercise , uh ? +Yeah , absolutely ! +And it ’ s so much fun . One day , the bodies were so tightly packed that some girl ’ s behind was pressed against my front . I was afraid to put my hands down for fear of accidentally groping her . +You were so happy , weren ’ t you ? +What do you think ? I ’ m a good boy . +I think it's high time we had lunch . +Of course . I can eat a horse now . +I am sorry for that . I was so attracted by the beautiful scenery . +Where shall we go now ? A Chinese restaurant or a local one ? +I suppose the local one . +Are you busy with your work ? +Yes . What about you ? +Yes , I'm very busy , too . Sometimes I work overtime . +Then your salary must be high . +Just so so . But we can travel twice every year . +Is this time one of them ? +Yes , we won't travel again until October . +Really ? We have only one chance every year . +What a beautiful sweater ! +Do you think it looks good on me ? +Yes , and it goes beautifully with your pants . +You won't believe it , but it was really cheap . +I wish I could find one just like it . +Let's go for a drink after work . +Nothing doing . +What kind of sport do you often do ? +I go jogging , how about you ? +I used to swim a lot , but now I'm taking gym classes . +Oh , that's fantastic ! +I can't believe the boss was absent from today's meeting . +Neither can I . +Any chance of using your telephone ? +You ’ Ve been using it for two weeks without paying . +Well , I thought it was not that serious . +Hey Jack . How's it going ? +I'm falling in love . +What ! With who ? +That girl in my econ class . She is so hot . +Did you guys go on a date already ? +No . I didn't even talk to her yet . But I think I'm in love . +Does she have a boyfriend ? +I don't think so . I've been following her around campus and I haven't seen another guy . +Dude , you're a stalker man . Just ask her on a date . +I plan on running into her in the cafeteria when she's alone . I think I'll ask her then . +So why do you think you're in love ? +She's the only thing I can think of all day long . +That's called blind love . Well , I gotta run . Tell me how it goes next week . +Aright . I'll talk to you later . +Your husband is very helpful , isn't he ? +Willing to help , maybe , but not as helpful as you think . +Really ? +Last night he told the children a cliff-hanger story and both of them were scared out of sleep . +Henry married Rose only after her father's money , didn't he ? +Yeah . But he soon feel regretted for it . +But he seems to be very happy with Rose . +He is more nice than wise . +Hey , David . Where did you get the sofa ? It's so beautiful . Look at the color , I really love this yellow , so bright ! It must be very expensive . +Not really . To be honest , it's very cheap . I only spent $ 100 . +Are you kidding ? $ 100 for this big leather sofa ? +Yes . I bought it in Johnson thrift store . +Is it a used one ? +Yes , it is . +Oh , I don't think I will buy a used sofa even it looks so attractive . +I am tired of everything in my life . +What ? How happy you life is ! I do envy you . +You don ’ t know that I have been over-protected by my mother these years . I am really about to leave the family and spread my wings . +Maybe you are right . +Would you mind going to dinner with me tonight ? +I'd love to go out with you , but I'm sorry I'm busy tonight , but I'd like a rain check . +OK . +Ikebana , it's an art of flowers and it's quite different from Western style flower arrangement because in Ikebana's theory you can decorate one flower , only with one flower . +What's another Japanese art ? +Japanese art ? Mm , Ikebana ! Tea Ceremony ! +Tea Ceremony ! Tell me about Tea Ceremony . +Tea Ceremony ! It's , there's a certain way you have to make tea , not only make tea , there's a certain way to for example wipe a bowl . +I see . +Yes , with one piece of cloth , and you need to learn how to fold the cloth so that you you use each part of the cloth only once to wipe the bowl +How do you learn that ? Is that something that your mother would teach you ? How do people learn that ? +There's some professionals for both flower arrangement and tea ceremony . So you need to go to a school , yes , and learn from your teacher and their hierarchy and the organization and you need to pass each test to go , climb up the ladder in the hierarchy . +So , you finally got your doctorate in genetics . Well done ! +Thanks . Now , I have to find a job . +What are you thinking of doing ? +I ’ d like to conduct some scientific research into genes . It would be wonderful to make a medical breakthrough . +There must be several private companies that are interested in employing someone like you . You could do some research for a university . There ’ s a lot of discussion about genetics nowadays . Someone wit +Many companies and universities investing resources in genetics , because there are so many possibilities . Few people know where next discoveries will be made . +Well , I hope scientists don ’ t decode to make a clone of me in the future ! I wouldn ’ t like to be the subject of an experiment . +What newspaper are you reading ? +New York Times . I read it everyday . +Why don't you read the local newspaper ? +It's too biased . I just don't agree with their one-sided reporting . +New York Times is better ? +Yes , they have a good reputation for fairness . +Don't be too sad . If you really think that you have no feeling with him , then , in my opinion , getting divorced maybe is the best way to solve the problem . +I know clearly at the bottom of my heart . I just can't set my mind at rest because of the child . She's little . She cannot understand us and accept such truth . +Yeah , child is the matter . Don't tell Jenny the truth , only tell her the white lie . When she grows up , you find the suitable opportunity to tell her . +I see . OK . +Mark . Where have you been ? I ’ Ve been calling you all morning . +I ’ Ve been playing computer games . +What ? So you blew me off yesterday and today over a stupid video game ? What game is so important that you have no time for me anymore ? What are you playing ? +It ’ s called Counter Strike . It ’ s a first person shooter game . It ’ s awesome . It ’ s a multi player game where you can go online and compete against players from all over the world . +You ’ Ve been wasting your time on this ? I can ’ t believe it ! It doesn ’ t even look fun or challenging ! +My laptop is on my bed . If you think it ’ s so easy then get on line and try to beat me . +Fine ! +Damp it ! How are you killing me with a single shot ? It ’ s not fair ! I don ’ t want to play anymore ! Let ’ s go get something to eat . +Can you bring me something ? I am totally hooked on this game ! +Hey , that ’ s a very nice hairdo you ’ re wearing ! +Oh you ’ re exaggerating . I ’ m never really good at making hairdo . +You did it yourself ? Wow , you are good ! +Thanks for saying so , but my husband thinks otherwise . +He ’ s just got no idea of how good you are . +Hey , Lily ! You won't believe what happened in class today ! +What ? +A man sent Miss Smith flowers , and Bryan got kicked out of class ! +Cool ! I wish I could have been there ! +Me , too . I miss you . Are you any better ? +Yes . But if I have any more soup , I think I'll die . +Does your wife work ? +Yes , she does . She works at home . +Oh , I understand . She cooks , cleans and takes care of children . Is that right ? +Oh , no . Most of the time I do these things . She is a writer . +You are really a hen-pecked husband . +What kinds of Tv programs do you enjoy watching ? +I like current affairs programs and documentaries , especially wildlife ones . How about you ? +I like those kinds of programs too . They ’ re very informative . I think that many people underrate the education value of Tv . +I agree . People often criticize Tv for showing too much sex and violence . +Yeah . And that ’ s so funny because most people prefer watching sex and violence to watching something more educational ! +Right . You can ’ t blame the tv stations for showing popular kinds of programs . They need to make money from advertisements shown during and between programs . +In my country , there ’ s a time limit on the advertisements that can be shown . I think it ’ s about six minutes per hour . +That ’ s great idea . But don ’ t the Tv station lose a lot of money because of that ? +No . they don ’ t . they simply charge higher prices at peak times . Is there no limit on the amount of advertisements that can be shown on Tv in your country ? +Not as far as I know . We have so many advertisements . the interruptions are unbearable sometimes ! That ’ s one reason that many people prefer satellite or cable Tv , where you pay a fixed amount each month . +Some people have satellite and cable Tv in my country , but people don ’ t seem to keen to pay for their Tv programs . Besides , the terrestrial channels offer a good range of programs . +Well , there ’ s a wildlife documentary on Tv in a few minutes . Shall we ? +Hi , Ann . I was wondering if you are free tomorrow night ? +Well , George . I guess I am . Why do you ask ? +I've just gotten a pair of pre-sale Star Wars movie tickets from a friend and was thinking of inviting you along for the opening premiere . Are you interested ? +Yeah , definitely ! Thanks for inviting me . +My pleasure . +I really wanted to watch the Star Wars on the opening day , but the pre-sale tickets were sold out . How did you manage to get hold of them ? +A friend of mine works at the corporate headquarters of Pepsi , which is a major sponsor of the movie . He was able to get the tickets for free , and then he sold two more for me for 50 dollars a piece . +You paid 50 dollars for each ticket ? That's a huge premium over the regular price . +Not really . Considering the fact that other people were willing to pay as much as 200 dollars each on the black market . Besides , I knew you were really looking forward to watching Star Wars on the opening day . +Wow ! I am really honored you went through all this trouble just for my sake . I really appreciate that . So , what time are we going ? +Well , let's see . The movie stars at 10 . We should be there at least 1 hour earlier , because there is a big line . I could pick you up at your house at 8 , if that's ok with you . +8 pm , that's fine with me . +Okay . +So I'll see you tomorrow then at 8 . +Yeah , that's great . I'll see you tomorrow night . +Ok , George . Bye ! +Bye , Ann ! +Hurry up ! Mom , I can't wait any more . +Look out , honey . Let's come to the shoal waters . Follow me ! +OK , Mom . Can I swim now ? I want to learn butterfly stroke . +Honey , listen to me . First , you should learn how to breathe in and breathe out . +Mom , it's so terrible . Water went down into my throat and I almost got drowned . +Do be patient , Honey . Let's do it slowly and correctly . +Oh , Mom , I think I'm not the right person for swimming . +Come on , sweetie , you've done very well . It is the first step that is tough . +Right , I'll make up my mind . Please correct me if any of my movements go wrong . +Yes , well done . That's the way to go . How clever you are ! You've got it . +Really ? I can't believe it . Everything is possible to a willing heart . +Exactly , next , you should hold your legs together and extend your arms above your head . +Yes , like a dolphin . Am I on the right track ? +That's the way to go . Now , you are flying , my boy . +Hi.Ed , what's up ? +Nothing . +Doesn't look like it to me . +Just get out of my face ! +Woo , easy . +Leave me alone ! +What are you so ticked off about ? +I don't want to talk about it . +Maybe I could help . +I blew the finally exam . +You've got be joking . +No , I'm not . +Well , don't get bend on a ship about it . +Do you like playing table tennis ? +Certainly . +When did you start it ? +Several years ago . +Don't just stand outside . Come on in . +Yeah . +This is Alex . Remember ? This is Sean . +Nice to meet you guys . +Over there are Stacy and Rebecca . We're all on the school's tennis team . +Who's that guy who's handing out beer to everyone ? +That's my boyfriend Matt . Isn't he cute ? +He sure is ! +Come on . I'll introduce you two . +Don ’ t you think that ’ s good idea to hold a party outside ? +I don ’ t think so . +How about going to a concert ? +That ’ s should be fun . +Hello , Jack here . +Hello , Jack . It ’ s Mary . What are you doing in your office ? +I ’ m working . I often work late on Thursday . I ’ m busy this week . +Would you like to come and have dinner with us on Friday ? +Tomorrow ? No , I am afraid I won ’ t be able to . I ’ m going on business to Birmingham . +What about Saturday ? +Sorry , I never go out on Saturday evening . I always watch football on Saturday evening . +Will you come round next Tuesday ? +Next Tuesday ? Just a moment . It will be the twenty-first of May ? Oh , dear . Hum , I promised my aunt I ’ ll be at her birthday party . +What do you say next Wednesday then ? +Let me see . Yes , Mary . Let ’ s make it next Wednesday . +Okay . Bye . +Bye . +I lost all my lottery winnings playing the stock market . +Easy come , easy go . +I hear you're moving to New York . +Yes , I found a very good job down there . +Well , we'll certainly miss you in Boston . +I'm going to miss you folks , too . +Let's keep in touch . +OK . I'll drop you a line as soon as I get there . +What's a good place for sightseeing ? +Don't ask me . +we are going out for dinner tonight . Are you coming , Betty ? +I'm not sure . I have to check my schedule . Where are you going ? +oh , Jake made a reservation at Friday's . +Jack ? +yes , the one with the R $ D team . Is that a problem ? +I will never go out with him anymore . +why did you say so ? +last time when we had dinner at the Smith's , it was a horrible experience . He had no manners at all ! +oh , really ? +he made a lot of noises while eating . He talked with his mouth full and sipped loudly . +are you kidding me ? How could he behave like that ? +it is true . Everyone kept looking at him . It was so embarrassing as I was sitting right next to him . +what a shame ! Didn't he realized that ? +I have no idea . He seemed to enjoy the dinner very much . +maybe he should really something about eating etiquette . +oh , he really should . +Hey Matt . I just got a job at a consulting firm . +Congratulations . That's great ! +I'm so happy . I don't have to worry about finding a job and interviewing anymore . +When do you start ? +I start next Monday . +You're going to have to put in a lot of hours you know . +I know . I'm a little nervous , but it's pretty exciting . +I bet . You must be stoked . +Yeah . I'm going to celebrate tonight . Wanna hang out ? +Sure . It's on you right ? +Of course . How about Toby ? Should we call him ? +I don't know . He's a little depressed . He's having a hard time finding a job right now . +I should still tell him . In the least , I can refer him to my company . It might help . +That sounds like a good idea . +So , did I tell you about my New Year ’ s resolution ? I ’ Ve decided to go on a diet . +And you ’ re going to completely transform your eating habits , right ? +Exactly ! I ’ m going to cut out all that junk I eat , no more chips , no more soda , no more fried food . +I ’ Ve heard this one before . +But this time I ’ m going to stick to it . I really mean it ! Trust me , Carol , I ’ m going to be a new man in one year ’ s time ! +Well , I guess we ’ ll just have to wait and see . +Thanks , honey , that was a great meal . I ’ m stuffed . Do we have any chips left ? +Can I help you ? +Yes . I am a bit confused . My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modern Age . According to the syllabus , the book is in the library , but I haven't been able to find it . +Do you have your syllabus with you ? May I see it ? +Yes , uh ... I put it in the front of my sociology notebook . Oh , here it is . +Let me see . Oh yes . Your professor has placed this book on reserve . That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place . You need to go to a special room called the reserve room . It's down the hall and to the right . +I'm sorry - I still don't understand . +You see , your professor wants every one in the class to read the chapter . If one student removes the book from the library , it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it . So , your professor has insured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve . +So , will I be able to find this book ? +Yes , when a book is on reserve , a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book . The student can have the book for a few hours , and he or she MUST read it in the library during that time . That way , the book stays in the library , and all students have a chance to read it . +Okay . Thank you . I understand now . +Will there be anything else ? +No ! I am on my way to the reserve room . Thanks again ! +The government has to face a lot of social problems now . +I think it is unemployment that gives rise to such social problems . +But it is very difficult for any government to handle it efficiently . +You are right . +How time flies ! +Bill and Betty have already grown up . +I can still remember our first date . +Look at that big tree over there . +Yeah , oh my god ! It ’ s still there . We have our first date right on there . +Do you know that I fell in love with you at the first sight then ? +You seemed to be dull at that time . +But you agreed to go out with me at last . +( Smile ) I can ’ t believe this for it ’ s been 20 years since we got married . +So do you feel happy now ? +I couldn ’ t have been any happier ! +Of course , we are the happiest family in the world . +Good morning Mike ! +Morning Sally ! What's up ? you seem many hurry ! +I am having an exam at 9 o'clock , It's already 8 thirty . +Don't worry , I'll drive you . +Thank you very much ! +How are your cases coming along ? +Very well , thanks , I will probably finish next week , but this is still a lot of work , I have been worked on in for six months , and i ' m so closed to end . I can fill in . +Wow , Good for you . It sounds like a lot of work . I'm proud of you ! Is this the red of building ? +Yes , It's only 8 forty . Thanks so much ! +You're welcome . Good luck , bye ! +Have a nice day , bye ! +Merry Christmas , Mr . Wang . I would like to give you the book I specially chose as my appreciation for your sincere help to me in the past few days . +Thanks , Mr . White . That's very kind of you . +I hope it will be of some use to you . +I am sure it will . It'll be of great help in carrying on the work I have done so far . +That will be great . +Excuse me , could you tell me how much is the ticket ? +It is free on weekend . +That's great ! +Here is a guiding plan . +I would back him up to the hilt anyway . +Why are you so kind to him ? +He's my brother . +So that's how it is ! Now he ’ s in trouble , but I belive he will rise to his own feet again . +Thanks for your belief . +What can I do for you ? +I need a passport . +You can apply for one here . +When can I do that ? +If you like , you can apply right now . +That would be great . +I ’ m going to need you to complete this application . +What else do I have to do ? +Then I will take your picture for your passport . +How long will it take ? +Your passport will be ready in a few weeks . +Thank you . That ’ s perfect timing . +Her dress looks funny . +I wouldn't say that . It looks fine to me . +Are you kidding She is behind the times . That style went out last year . +Oh , come on , as long as it looks good on her . +Well , you ’ re really as out-dated as she is . +You ’ re darn right . I am out of style . So what What's the point of keeping yourself in style +No wonder you never buy me a new dress . +Hey , Sandy . Do you want to go to the ETV with us ? +I'd love to , but I'm broke . Maybe after payday . +What date is today ? +Why ? +Didn't you notice the roses everywhere ? +I hear it's Chinese Valentine's Day ! Don't you know ? +Oh , God . I just forgot it . I should have brought roses for my girlfriend . +It's not too late . Go to buy some now . +What's your favorite sport ? +It's hard to say . Perhaps swimming is my favorite . I like swimming because it helps improve my lung capacity . In the scorching summer days , there's nothing like a cool swim . Currently , I go to the pool twice every week . +Is the entrance charge expensive ? +Well , it costs an arm and a leg — 30 yuan per person . What a costly sport ! That is why I have to refrain from even thinking about it . And I find jogging a very agreeable substitute . +Haha , jogging ? Perhaps it might be a bit too boring ? +You know what ? You won't get a rush from it until you fully understand it . It is a simple sport and doesn't require skills of any sort . This leaves room for me to enjoy the beautiful suburban scenery while jogging . Fresh air caresses my face and blows into my chest , which translates into inspirations . Inspirations are really good stuff for a writer like me . Sometimes , I even come up with a verse or two . +You are really a man who knows how to enjoy being alone . +I'll need a parking permit for next semester . +Do you attend school during the day or only at night ? +I only attend class part-time in the evenings . +Do you drive a motorcycle or an automobile ? +I have both , but I usually use my car to get to school . +Great , the price for that permit is thirty dollars ; cash , check , or credit card ? +I'll pay cash . +Do you need to buy a duplicate permit for a second vehicle ? +No , thank you . +OK , here is your permit ; enjoy the next semester . +Thanks for lunch . It was delicious . +It's OK . +Next time lunch is on me . +Don't be silly . +I'm serious . +All right . Next time you will treat . +It's a deal . +Guess , what I ’ Ve bought for you . +Oh . it ‘ s a case flowers . It ’ s very kind of you . +I hope you like it . +I love flowers you know . Thank you very much . +that ’ s all right . +What a terrible house ! +I'm sick of it , too . +The door bell doesn't work , the sink is leaking , there's no hot water , and the building is falling apart ! +It's no use complaining.If we had got enough money , we wouldn't put up with it ! +Oh , no . It looks like we're late . +Let's just sit in the back . We can still hear the service from here . +There're so many people here . Where are Rich and Cath and Taylor's parents ? +They're probably up front . The preacher's about to speak . Let's listen . +That was such a touching speech . He must have really known Taylor well . +Oh , how I wish this all wasn't happening ! +Mary , Pam and I are going to the mall later to buy some new clothes . Do you want to come ? +Can you say it again slowly ? +Pam and I are wondering if you'd like to go to the mall with us . +Oh , I see . I'll have to sink about it . +Sink ? +Oops . I meant , " think " +Mary , you're going to have to work on your pronunciation . +I know . +But give yourself some time . You just got here . +... The rings please . May this ring be blessed so he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in peace , and continue in love until life ’ s end . +With this ring I thee wed . Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment . +Honey , that ’ s my pinkie . The ring goes on the ring finger ! +This one ? +That ’ s my index finger ! +Oh , right . This one , right ? +Umm ... that ’ s the thumb , Nick . +Okay , Okay , I got it ! This is the ring finger ! +That ’ s my middle finger , Nick . This is my ring finger ! +Have you heard about Michael's new home ? It's in one of the poshest areas in this area . +Is he living in the new housing estate in Killington ? +No , he's living in an old house in Warton . +Do you mean the one near the health centre on Old Slate Road ? +That's the one . +His house must be worth millions ! That is one of the most beautiful areas in Oxford . The surrounding area is really peaceful , and getting into the city centre from there is very convenient . How can he afford that place ? +He didn't buy it . His grandfather died recently and left him loads of money . +Did he know that his grandfather was so wealthy ? +No one in the family expected to get a dime from him . It was quite a surprise . +What a lucky man . +He still has a complaint though . +What's that ? +He wanted to live right on a bus line , but he doesn't . so , if he wants to take a bus anywhere , he has to walk 1/4 mile to get to a bus stop . +The poor thing . It must be difficult being him . +You can say that again . +It's said that the government will clamp down on the new policy . +Are you sure of that ? +I am not certain about that . +They may have some difficulty in doing it . +I couldn ’ t believe you should crack such a joke to them . +What was wrong ? +You carried it too far . You obviously offended someone . +I didn ’ t mean to hurt anyone . +I know , I know . But someone took offence . +hello . Where are you headed today ? +I'm off to Barcelona for a week . +do you have your passport with you ? +yes , here you go . I don't need a visa to go to Spain , do I ? +fortunately for you , you don't . Next time , if you have any questions about visas , you should try to find out before you get to the airport . +that's good advice . +would you like a window seat or an aisle seat ? +are there any seats available by the emergency exits ? +let me see here ... yes , there's one left . +ok . I'll take that one then . +alright . How many pieces of luggage are you checking in ? +I like to travel light so I just have this one . +if that's your only piece of luggage , it is small enough to carry on with you . Would you like to do that so you don't have to wait in luggage reclaim once you arrive ? +yes , please . That's a fantastic idea . Which gate do I need to go to ? +you're here a bit early , so check the departure screens in the waiting area in about a half hour . Here's your boarding pass . Enjoy your flight ! +I think it's important that all people have the ability to read . +I agree with you , but that's easier said than done . +Hey , Cindy , I ’ m so sorry about yesterday . I shouldn ’ t have yelled at you in front of everyone . +Don ’ t worry about it . +I don ’ t know what happened to me . I just lost it . +I think you just need to get more sleep . +Yes , you ’ re right . Good night . +We can't wait any longer ... +I'm terribly sorry to be so late . I had an article ... +You'll knock yourself out the way you've worked.Why don't you slow down ? +I can't afford to . +All right.Now that everybody's here . Shall we be getting started ? Miss Lin , are you ready ? +Yes , thanks.Before I start , I'd like to thank Professor Smith for all his help in giving me unlimited access to his research materials . +Excuse me , Miss Lin.Would you mind speaking up , please ? I can't hear you very well . +Sorry , I'll try to speak louder . +Mark , you've been coming home late these days . What are you busy doing ? +Nothing important . I've been working overtime lately . +How many hours do you work each day now ? +12 hours , including 5 hours overtime . +That's tough indeed ! Do you think your health can afford ? +I don't care . I need money . +Surely you'll be paid extra for overtime , but do you think it's really worth ? +Yes , I think so . When I work overtime I'm paid time and a half . +Oh , yes . Money comes faster in that way than otherwise . +But jobs with a lot of overtime are quite limited . Employers usually don't like to pay for overtime if they can manage . +That's true . +Which sports are popular in your country ? +Most people like football . More boys like football than girls . A few girls play it really well . Some people like playing basketball . +Do many people like tennis ? +More and more people like it now . fewer people play table tennis than before . Many people like swimming , because it is fun and keeps you fit . +In my country , many people enjoy golf , but it is too expensive for some people . A few people like extreme sports , but I think the vast majority of people are afraid to try them . +Extreme sports are only for a small minority of people . Several people from my university enjoy them , but most of us just watch . No one I know plays golf . +I know loads of people who play it regularly . There are plenty of golf courses around the country . In the past , only a tiny number of people played . +A great deal of people follow rugby in my country . +There are plenty of rugby fans in my country too . +Trina , will you marry me ? +Yes ! Yes ! And yes ! Jared , of course I ’ ll marry you ! +Oh , Babe , I can ’ t wait to spend the rest of my life with you ! I can ’ t wait for all the adventures we ’ re going to have , for all the fights and the laughter . I can ’ t wait to grow old and wrinkly with you . +Oh , Jared ! I can ’ t wait for our wedding ! I hope you don ’ t mind , but I ’ Ve already chosen a date ! Six months from now in the summer ! Melissa saw you buying the ring last month so I ’ Ve had plenty of time to start planning ! +She what ? +Oh don ’ t worry , sweetie , I didn ’ t know when you were going to propose . It was still a nice surprise ! As I was saying , I ’ Ve got it all planned out . There ’ s almost nothing left to do ! I wrote up our guest list and we will have roughly four hundred guests attending . +Four hundred ? +No need to sweat it . My parents agreed to pay for most of the wedding , which is going to be low-budget anyway . So roughly four hundred people , which means that the hall at Northwoods Heights will be our reception venue . I thought it would be nice if we had the wedding at your parents ’ church and my uncle of course would be officiating . We ’ ll meet with him soon for some pre-wedding counseling . The music for the wedding ceremony was a no-brainer . My step-sister and her string quartet will take care of that . My cousin will be the official photographer . I thought it would also be nice if his daughter could sing a solo . Did you know that she ’ s going to be a professional opera singer ? +Ah ... +And then of course the ladies at the church would love to be our caterers for the banquet and we ’ ll get the Youth Group to serve us . I was thinking that your friend ’ s band could be our entertainment for the night . though they might have to tone it down a bit . Or we could hire a DJ . Your sister ’ s husband could get us a discount with that company that does the decor at weddings . what ’ s their name again ? I was thinking that we could have an island paradise-themed wedding and our theme color would be a soothing blue like Aquamarine . And there will be a huge seashell on the wall behind the podium where we ’ ll make our toasts ! What do you think of small packages of drink mixes for our wedding favors ? Who else am I missing ? Oh , your uncle could be our florist and his wife could make our wedding cake ! +Wow . +See ? It ’ s going to be wonderful ! Oh this wedding is going to be everything I ever dreamed of . +If I survive the next six months . +No . 164 in lane 3 achieved 11 ' 16 in the 100 meter dash . Isn't that something ? +Yeah . He's the most experienced athlete in the field . +He won the first place ! +Good boy ! +When is your vacation going to start ? +I'll be leaving on the fifth of August for the vacation +Oh , that's only a few days from now ! How many weeks are you going to be taking ? +I'm taking two weeks now . but I want to save the other week and take it sometime during the winter . +Where are you going now . +To the beach +Have you made your hotel reservation yet ? +Oh , I don't need to do that . I'll be staying with friends +You're lucky . It's hard to find a place to stay at the beach in August +Just think , in a few days , I'll be swimming and lying in the sun and just taking it easy . +What a hot day ! +Yes , summer is coming . +Where are you going this summer vacation ? +I'd like to go to Tianjin . +Do you want to go to the beach there ? +Yes , of course . And what's your plan ? +The same to you . +That's great . +I don't think I'm getting better . +Believe me , you really look much better than before . +I'm still not sure whether I can recover from it . +Hey John . I have some great news . +What happened ? +I got a job offer from Dell . +That's great . I thought you said you didn't get the job . +I thought I did bad on the interview , but I guess I was wrong . I'm so happy right now . +I bet . That's great news . I'm very happy for you . +Thanks . I feel like celebrating . Let's go have a beer . It's on me . +Sounds good . +What would you like to drink ? Tea or coffee ? +Coffee , please . +So , you also like Coffee ? +Yes , of course . I can't go through a day without coffee in the morning . +Me too , but I think we shouldn't drink too much of it , as it's not very healthy . +I totally disagree . The other day I read in a book that a number of recent studies suggest that it can be a highly beneficial drink . Researchers have found strong evidence that coffee reduces the risk of several serious aimed 3 ' including diabetes , heart disease and cirrhosis of the liver . +But I also heard that coffee and its caffeine content , serve as a drug on the human body that negatively affects the central nervous system , as well as other organs , and leads to addiction +I don't think so . Coffee helps me wake up , keep alert , and improve my short term memory . +Well , I adjust going to have to disagree with you . A healthy body wakes up without caffeine ! +Maybe you are right to some extent . +You may try to have some alternatives and see how you feel . +Maybe I could have a try . +May I have two tickets for Tiny Times ? +OK . What time ? +2:30 , please . +It's 60 yuan , please . +Sorry , we have student cards . We can get discounts with these , can't we ? +Sure . That'll be 40 yuan , please . +Here is 50 yuan . +Whoa . Now I'm awake ! Zina has a secret admirer . +I really do not have time to deal with some lovesick computer geek . +I know what you mean . I can't stand computer geeks . +Sorry , Dave , I didn't mean you . I am just not in the mood for this . I have work to do . +Who do you think it is ? +Do you have brothers and sisters ? +No , I am the only child in my family . +Oh , I have an elder sister . She is married .. Her husband is a businessman . +Do they live with you and your parents ? +No , they live alone . +I don't know how to deal with Jack . He is indeed a trouble maker . He has loused up my business several times . +You mean Lily's boyfriend ? +Yeah . +Well , he is a hard case . Everyone would feel headache about him . +Mike , what are you doing tonight ? +Nothing special . I just want to get plastered . +I don't feel like drinking tonight . I'm gonna hang out at YY's . +YY's ? That place is boring . How about Xara's ? It's real classy , and they keep the place spin and span . +Yeah , but it's expensive . Nah , I'm going to YY's . +On second thought , I think I'll join you . +They ' Ve just renovated the place . You may be surprised . +Wow , they really went to town on this place ! +Quite a difference , huh ? +Sure is . Waiter , bring us two drafts , please . +Ah hah.Thought you were't drinking . +When in Rome , do as the Romans do . +Hey , Rose , how are you feeling ? +Much better today . +Oh , Look at the baby.It ' s so beautiful.Is it a boy or a girl ? +It's a girl . +Can I hold it for a moment ? +Sure.She is a peaceful child . +Oh , how adorable ! She's got your eyes . +So they say . +When are you returning home ? +Well.The doctor said I have to remain here for at least two more days because I'm rather weak after childbirth . +You can use some time off.You ' Ve been working too hard anyway . +Mom , have we got any cookies ? +Cookies ? You just ate an hour ago . +I know , but I'm hungry . +Well , why don't you have some fruit instead ? +Aw , Mom . I don't want fruit , Aren't there any chocolate chips ? +Are you cold ? +Yes , a little . +I wonder if we can change the temperature . +I tried before . There are no buttons on the air conditioning . +There must be buttons . How do they turn it on and off ? +I think it is centrally controlled . They control it at the main desk . +Well , they have it too cold in here . I want to be warmer . I won't be able to sleep . +I'm going downstairs for more drinking water . I will ask them . +What did they say about the air conditioning ? +They said it is centrally controlled.All the rooms are the same . They can't change it . +That's stupid . How can I sleep in this ? +You can wear more clothes . +hello ! How are you today ? +hi . I ’ m feeling very nervous . I just had a test and I ’ m not sure how well or how badly I did . +it ’ s not use worrying about it now . you ’ Ve done test and you can ’ t change any of your answers . +that ’ s true . I really should go home and prepare for the next test , but I ’ m feeling tired . +let ’ s go and get a coffee together . That will help you to wake up again ! +ok . I feel like sitting down and having a chat . How have you been recently ? +oh , you know me . I ’ m always happy ! If I think I ’ m getting into a bad mood , I call some friends and socialize or have a chat . +that ’ s a good idea . I usually just sit at home alone and get increasingly moody . +I hate spending too much time at home . I get bored of it really quickly . I ’ m always excited about going out to party or other social event and meeting people . +perhaps I ’ m being too shy . I should go out more too and not spend time worrying about tests ! +Hey , Lily , what are you doing ? +Waiting for someone . +You mean the boy you met on MSN ? +You're right . He is so funny and I think I'm in love with him . +You must be joking . You can't fall in love with someone you've never met ! +I know , but I keep thinking of him every day . And I get really depressed when he's not online . +I think it's just a crush . You can't be serious . +Well , this might be silly . But I just can't get him off my mind . And I can't help missing him . +Did you tell him ? +Yes . He said I'm his dream girl . +You shouldn't take it too seriously . It might be a lie . +I know . I can't tell whether he's serious or not so I need your advice . +I think you should enlarge your circle of real life friends , and then the right person will come along . +The new computer software is driving me crazy ! I really need a break ! +I know what you mean , Carol . I ’ Ve had nothing but trouble with it . They say it ’ s supposed to be easy ! +That ’ s what I ’ Ve heard . But as far as I ’ m concerned , it takes a genius to figure it out . Can you pass the sugar , please ? +Sure . Why don ’ t you sit down for a minute ? You haven ’ t taken a rest all morning . +So , Is this your first time to TAIWAN ? +No , I first came here 1995 . +Oh , really ? And you are from the State , right ? +Well , I am from Canada . Actually . +Oh , I am so sorry . +That ' ok . That's happens all the time . +Susan is going to get a divorce . +How do you know that ? +She told me that peter and she has a quarrel last nigh , and she left this morning , bag and baggage . +Oh , I see . But I think you are making a fuss . They will make it up . Bet it . +Tomorrow will be my first day at work , what do you think I should be wearing ? +Well , if you want to look professional , serious and more conservative , a blue dress , white shirt and not-too-high shoes would be the best choice . But sometimes , very formal clothes will keep you at a distance from your colleagues . It depends on the company ’ s dress code . +Indeed , I found most of the employees dress casually when I went to the interview . Only the manager was in suit and tie and he just came back from a ceremony . It seems that their dress code is not that formal . Probably , I should put on car key and simple shirt . +Whatever you choose , make sure they are neat and clean . +Ye Ting , who are these people in the picture ? +They're my family +So you have two brothers ? +Yes , I'm the third child . +Are you going out again ? +Yes , I'm going to the cinema , dad . +You mustn't go to bed very late . Can you be home before nine . +Oh , I won't be back so early . The film will be over at nine . Can I have the key to the bicycle ? +No . I won't let you ride a bicycle late at night . +Oh , dad , I'm not a child . I'm 17 already . I'll come back as soon as the film is over . +OK . Here's the key . Take care . +I will . Thank you , dad . +Hello . Could I speak to Justin , please ? +Speaking . +Oh , hi Justin . This is Karen Hepburn.We met at Chris and Jim's party . +Of course . How're you ? +Great . Uh , Justin , would you like to see Otis Lesley on Thursday night ? He's at the Kangaroo Club . +I'm sorry , Karen , but I can't . I have to work late this Thursday . +Oh ... that's too bad . +Yeah . I really like Lesley . +Actually , are you doing anything on Friday or Saturday ? He's playing those two nights as well . +Well , I can't make it on Friday either , but I'm free on Saturday night . What time does it start ? +At eight sharp.How about meeting in front of the club at about a quarter after seven ? +That sounds perfect.And let's go out for coffee after the show . +Sure ! +See you at seven fifteen , Saturday . +OK . I'll take your bet , as long as the winner gets to pick the movie . What about you , Nick ? +Sure . Do you want to go first , Sally ? +Why not ! I rolled a five . The category is Best Pictures . +OK , here's your question What movie won the 1996 Oscar for Best Picture ? +I know that , it's The English Patient . It was one of the only good American movies of the 90s . +Well , along with Jurassic Park ! Nice going , you got the right answer . +I often go to a place of leisure . +Really ? +I very much like to go to a cafe and doze in the afternoon sunshine . +Sounds great . +The coffee , books , music and sunshine are just beautiful there . +How nice . +I may take you there some day . +Good . +So Jen , what did you think of William ? Did you guys have a nice time on your first date ? +Oh yeah , it was great ! He took me to an Italian restaurant and we had an amazing conversation . I told him about how many kids I want , and how my parents will be so excited to meet him . +You said all that on the first date ? Alright ... Well are you two going out again ? +Yeah ! I called him after I got home to arrange our next date , but unfortunately his grandma is sick so he has been busy every night visiting her in the hospital . +I think Andy's party will be fun . +Yeah , I think so . Oh , by the way , I need to ask you something . +What's that ? +Could I get back the sweater you borrowed ? +Sure . Oh , that reminds me . Could I borrow your black leather boots ? +My boots ? Er ... Sure , ok . +That sounds pretty good . But isn't downloading music illegal ? +Not if you pay for it . For example , if you download from iTunes and pay with your credit card , it's legal . +OK , I'm going to get iTunes and download some Vanilla Ice songs . +Awesome . You'll see that they are really catchy . +Do you believe in god ? +Not at all . I ’ m an agnostic . Do you ? +I ’ m not sure . Why don ’ t you believe there is a god ? +I think everything has a scientific explanation rather than a theological one . +I basically believe in science over theology . I mean , I believe in evolution for example . However , there are many things that science hasn ’ t explained yet . +I ’ m sure that science will explain everything eventually . I think that the strangest thing about religion is that so many religions people act in ways that their religion claims are wrong . +For example ? +Religions preach tolerance , but many wars are caused by intolerant religious fanatics . +Yes . Such people don ’ t appear to be acting in accordance with their religious beliefs . +Cindy , I have this room to myself ? +It's all yours . +It's twice as big as my room in Taiwan ! +Well , I hope it's comfortable enough for you . +I think I'm going to like it here . +You have a phone on the bedside table that you can use . +Wow , I have my own bathroom ! +Kind of . It leads to my bedroom . +We share the same bathroom , in other words . +Joe , how are you doing ? +Pretty good . Mary , I was wondering if you would like to come to a party on Friday night ? +I am free that night , and a party sounds good . +Fine . It will be at my house . Do you know how to get there ? +I kind of know where you live , but could you e-mail me your address ? +I can do that . Do you have anyone that you would like to bring with you to the party ? +I would really like to bring my friend Jake , if that would be OK . +Oh yeah , I remember Jake . That would be fine . +Would you like some help with the food ? +Just bring along whatever it is that you and Jake would like to drink . +Come on in . Make yourself at home . +Thanks a lot . +Are you Elvin ? +Elvin Dixon . Who are you ? +I'm Mary . I want to say I really admire the software you're designed . +Easy stuff . But thanks . And the admiration is mutual . +It is ? +You're selling invoking subscriptions like nobody's business . And we don't even have a working demo yet . +I can't take the credit for that . I'm just Zina's assistant . She's the pro . +I wish you would not be so selfish . +Selfishness is one human beings instincts . It is very difficult to get it out root and branch . +But you should at least consider your son's future . +His mother , not me , should do this . +We ’ re going to the movies . Will you join us ? +I ’ m very sorry I can ’ t . +Why not ? +I ’ m afraid I have some business to attend to . +Then would you like to have lunch with us ? +I ’ d love to but I have to help John with his math problems right now . +Would you like me to give you a lift ? +No , thanks . His home is not far and I can walk there . +Come on . It ’ s no trouble at all . +Ok , thank you . +Way to go ! It seems beautiful and very delicious . +Thank you.Thanks to the baker , I benefit a lot from him . +Is this the A housing office ? +Yes , it is . Are you looking for housing for this semester ? +I was hoping to get into something on campus , but my friend told me that everything is full . +It is , but I can put you on a waiting list , if you would like . +Please . And in the mean time , can I look at apartments available in the area from this office ? +Yes , here is a catalog that is put out every year with locations that meet campus requirements for As . +Who do I talk to if I want I to see some of them ? +The individual landlord's numbers are next to each entry . You can call them with any questions you may have . +Hello , let me introduce myself . I'm your neighbor . My name is Shirley . +Hi , Shirley . I'm Sophie . It's nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you , too . +Please come in . +Here is a little gift for your family . It's a calendar with all the community events on it . I hope it can be helpful . +I really appreciate it . +Since we are neighbors , if you need any help or anything , please come to me . +I will . Actually , I am worried so much about the security of this community because my house has been burgled twice before . +Oh , don't worry about that here . There are security guards on duty 24 hours a day and they patrol all over the neighborhood . You know , they are all very strong . +Really ? That's good . Is there any supermarket in our neighborhood ? +Of course . There is a Carrefour near the neighborhood . I'll show you there if you want to . +That's terrific ! +By the way , a party will be held for new neighbors the day after tomorrow . I hope I can see you there . +Yeah , and we can get to know each other at the party . +Dave , wake up . +Which ? Zina ? What time is it ? +It's seven-thirty . I want to know who left this note on my desk . +What note ? I can't see . I just pulled an all-nighter . +It's a little green post-it note , stuck right in the middle of my computer screen . +And ? What does it say ? Isn't there a name ? +It says , Zina , I like how you rhumba . An admirer . +I know I ’ m going to bite the dust going down this hill . I almost got killed on the chair lift ! This is going to be so embarrassing . +Don ’ t worry . Everyone knows you ’ re getting your feet wet . I ’ ll show you how . I bet you ’ ll be proficient at this in five minutes . +This is only your second time skiing . This is definitely a case of the blind leading the blind . +Relax . I can hold my own . Now , point your skis toward the bottom of the hill . Easy does it ! +I don ’ t think I can get up enough nerve to do this . +Here . I ’ ll just give you a little push ... +No ! ! ! +There . Now , wasn ’ t that fun ? As soon as you get a second burst of energy , we ’ ll ... +Don ’ t hold your breath ! +Are you busy next Saturday ? +No , why ? +I need to get a costume for a fancy dress party , and I reply don't know what to get . Will you come shopping with me ? +Sure I like shopping . Who is organizing the party ? +One of the girls in my office . +What's the occasion ? +There is no specie occasion . She just likes to organize parties from time to time . This time it is a country theme . +That's easy , how about a cowgirl ? Oh I know even better , a Canadian Mountie . +Well where am I going to get that sort of costume ? +Leave it to me . I know exactly where to find it . +Oh good . +Excellent , come over at ten o'clock and we will start at the shopping center , the one around the corner from my house . They have just the shop we need . +What do you think of when you're praying ? +I try to picture the Lord's face in my mind . +Does that help you faith ? +Yes . +Tom ! How are you ? We missed you at the party last night . Are you OK ? +I don ’ t know . I didn ’ t really feel like going out . I guess I ’ m feeling a little homesick . +Come on.We ’ Ve been through this already ! Look , I know the adjustment was hard when you first got here , but we agreed that you were gonna try and deal with it . +I was . It ’ s just that the holidays are coming up and I won ’ t be able to home because I can ’ t afford the airfare . I ’ m just longing for some of the comforts of home , like my mom ’ s cooking and being around my family . +Yeah , it can get pretty lonely over the holidays . When I first got here , I ’ d get depressed and nostalgic for anything that reminded me of home . I almost let it get to me , but then I started going out , keeping myself busy and before I knew it , I was used to to it . +I see what you mean , but I ’ m still bummed out . +OK . how does this sound . let ’ s get you suited up and hit the dance club tonight . I hear that an awesome DJ is playing and there will be a lot of pretty single girls there ! +You know , I could really go for that . You don ’ t mind being my wingman for tonight ? +Not at all ! It be fun ! It will be like a boys ’ night out ... well kinda ... +Great ! I must warn you though , whatever happens , don ’ t let me go on a drinking binge . Trust me , it ’ s not a pretty picture ! +Excuse me ? Is this where I register ? I ’ d like to sign up for my courses for next semester . +Yes , of course . I need your student ID please . +Here you are . +Okay , Susan . It says here that you are a business major and you are in your second year . Is this information correct ? +Yes . I do want to take some additional credits this year to get a minor in psychology . +Sure . That ’ s not a problem . Do you have the list of courses you want to take this semester ? +Yeah . Here ’ s my list . I ’ m not sure if the class schedule will allow me to take all of them though . +Yeah , that ’ s perfect . What about the subjects for your minor ? +Oh yeah ! Almost forgot ! I need to take fundamental linguistics , consumer psychology and neuroanatomy . +Wow , you are going to be busy this semester ! Okay , here you go . You are registered now , you ’ ll have to make your first tuition payment before classes start . +I used to be down on the sales people until I saw her in action . +She means business , for sure . +Most salespeople seem like half-brains . Zina's definitely an exception . +We'd better get back to work . +Yeah , I'm not too worried about Vince , but I'd hate to face Zina if we don't deliver ... +It seems like it rains every time we plan a picnic . +Well , that's life . +You are late . What ’ s the deal ? +Sorry , I was delayed by something and stuck in traffic . +Has Alan shown up yet ? +Nope . I guess something might have come up . +I wonder what happened . +I don't know . I hope it's nothing serious . +Last week his sister was admitted to the hospital . +Oh ? What happened ? +His sister had a car accident last week . +Is she fine now ? +She is still in a coma . +Oh , poor Alan ! His sister is the only one he has left since his parents died last year . +This cake is excellent . Where did you buy it ? +Actually , my mother made it from scratch . +Excuse me . Mr . Li . May I ask you some questions ? +Sure . Take a seat , please . What would you like to know ? +Can you tell me how many credits would be enough for a Bachelor's degree ? +A Bachelor is awarded to a student who successfully completes over 120 units , including general and specific requirements , for his or her undergraduate major and elective courses . +How long does it take to earn a Bachelor's degree ? +Normally it can be completed in four years . +I would much rather see her once or twice and not do anything about it — — what could I about it anyway ? +Don ’ t say things like this . Please be confident . I think you still have the chance to win her love , unless you don ’ t love her anymore . +Don ’ t you think she is a bit out of my way ? +In some way , she is more modern . +If I do try to do anything , I ’ d only be sent off with a flea in my ear . +If you really think so , in my opinion you should give up this feeling completely . +Excuse me . Have you got the time ? +My watch says half past five . +Does your watch keep good time ? +Oh yeah . It loses only a few seconds in the whole month . +Thanks a lot . +Thanks for the loan . +Think nothing of it . +I haven't danced for a long time . +Neither have I . +We must go to a dance soon , or we'll forget how to dance . +Yes , we must . What have you been doing since I last saw you ? +I've been studying hard for my examinations . And you ? +I've been learning Japanese every evening . +Why have you been learning Japanese ? Why not English ? +I hope to visit Japan next year . +Well , we'll both have to start learning all the new dances . +Yes , let's go into the dance-hall and ask if we can take dancing-lessons . +A good idea . They can teach elephants to dance nowadays perhaps there's hope for us ! +Come in and have some coffee , Anna . The kids have just gone out to the mall to hang out with their friends . +I saw a lot of teenagers when Alan and I were there yesterday . +They spend hours there , especially on weekends . +Speaking of that trip , Alan bought a shirt at a department store , but the sleeves are too long . Do you know a seamstress or tailor who can shorten them ? +I know several . But wouldn ’ t it be easier to take the shirt back and exchange it for the right size ? +Isn ’ t that complicated ? +No , it ’ s easy . We ’ ll just take the shirt back to the men ’ s department and show them the sales slip . They ’ ll exchange it for the correct size or give you a refund . +We ? Do you want to go with me ? +Sure . I love going to the mall . +What do you do there ... hang around , like the kids ? +Come on , you must tell me everything about him . +Well , he's very tall and handsome . +Hmm ... +He has big blue eyes and long blonde hair . +Oh , how long ? +Down to his shoulders . It's beautiful , like gold . +OK . OK . You'd better tell me what he does . +He's a very creative painter . His paintings sell well . +Really ? +He's quite a patient teacher , too . +Fine . +You're going to like him . Everybody says he's a nice guy . +My wife gave birth to our first child today . +Wow ! I'm so happy for you . +Man , I ’ m freaking out ! You gotta help me ! +Whoa , whoa , take it easy , relax . Geez , you ’ re sweating like a pig ! What ’ s going on ? +I can ’ t go through with this ! I just can ’ t ! I ’ m not ready for marriage ! What was I thinking ? I ’ m only thirty five years old ! I ’ Ve got my entire life ahead of me , adventures waiting ! I can ’ t settle down yet ! +What are you talking about ? It wasn ’ t more than a month ago that you were rambling on about how you are tired of living the life of a bachelor and how you envy your friends that have a family ! +I know . I know ! +Let ’ s think this through . First of all , you cannot leave Amy at the altar . Not only will she be humiliated and kill you , but she is the woman that you love and the woman of your dreams ! Why would you want to end that or jeopardize it like this ? Second of all , you are just getting cold feet . You know deep down inside that you want to marry her , so cut the crap and do it ! +You ’ re right . I ’ m being crazy ! Ok , I ’ m ready , let ’ s do this ! +Great ! Phew ! That was a close one ! You had me going there for a minute I thought I was gonna have to slap some sense into you . +Yesterday was April the first . +Was it quite special ? +Not for the others , but for me . I was in the library going over my lessons when suddenly one of my roommates came in . He told me that I was wanted on the phone in my dormitory , and that person would call me again several minutes later . +Did you hurry back to the bedroom ? +Yes . I went back to the dorm only to find my roommates laughing and shouting " April Fool , April Fool " . +Oh , your classmates took you in . +Only then did I realize it was April Fools ' Day . +You look great today . And so beautiful . I love your elegant haircut . +Thanks . Wendy . There will be an important dinner party tonight . So I must make me the focus of my friends . +Hey Jack . Are you excited about starting work ? +Yeah . I'm really looking forward to it . +What was more exciting , starting college or starting work ? +They're pretty similar , but in different ways . I really can't decide . How about you ? +For me , I think starting school was more exciting . +Does that mean work isn't that great ? +It's different for everyone , but because I knew school was going to be so much fun , I really got excited about it . +But work is a huge portion of our lives . I'm looking forward to making it fun . +That's a great attitude to have . I don't think you'll have any problems in the workforce . +I hope you're right . +So did you get in touch with your brother ? +No , not yet . I'm really worried . +Well , it'd be foolish to call the police . He probably just went away overnight . +Maybe you're right . But I'm still worried . +Hi , Mark , did you catch the game last night ? +No , I was out . Was it worth watching ? +You didn ’ t hear ? Spain won , two to zero . +Oh , really ? So , Spain is through to the next round ? +Yeah . The final is next week . You have to watch it . +How were things in the Tokyo branch when you were there ? +Good ! They have expanded and are doing better than they were last quarter . It's nice to see some improvement for a change . +Do you see the trend continuing over the next few months ? +Yes , especially with so many of our executives going back and forth from here to Japan . The only problem is , they may have trouble when they go to open up business here . +Why would you say that ? +They aren't too familiar with doing business outside of Japan . There are a lot of cultural differences to account for . +I'll say ! Sometimes they just do things really differently . But one thing I can say , they are really hospitable . +Have you ever been to Japan ? +Sure ! I just got back yesterday . I'm still suffering from jet lag . +Morning . +Hi there Mr . Anderson ! How are you on this fine morning ? +Fine , thank you . +It sure is cold this morning , isn ’ t it ? I barely even get out of bed ! +Yeah . It ’ s pretty cold , alright . +Did you catch the news this morning ? I heard that there was a fire on Byron Street . +No , I didn ’ t hear about that . +Did you happen to watch the football game last night ? The Patriots scored in the last minute ! +No , I don ’ t like football . +Oh . . . By the way , I saw you with your daughter at the office Christmas party . She is really beautiful ! +She ’ s my wife ! Oh , here ’ s my floor ! Nice talking to you . Goodbye . +Sir this is the 56th floor ! We are on the 70th ! +That ’ s okay , I ’ ll take the stairs ! +You look hot and tired . Jack , have you been exercising ? +Yes . We just had a basketball match with Class Two . +Who won ? +They did . +What was the score ? +Seventy to sixty-seven . +You'll have to take a make-up exam in logic . +Oh , I thought I did a good job . +Sorry to say you failed . +Anyway , I have to face the music this time . +May I help you ? +I ’ m returning a book . +Do you need anything else ? +I also need to check out this video . +This is all you want to check out ? +Just the video . +I ’ m going to need your library card . +I have it right here . +You ’ ll need to take care of the video . +I will . +We will fine you if you damage it . +I get it . Thank you . +Hi , how are you doing ? +Everything's great . And you ? +Same here.Have you seen any new films recently ? +No , I haven't had a chance to . But I have been watching a Chinese TV scries called " Chinese-Style Divorce " . +Oh . really ? I saw it two years ago . It's worth seeing and it's thought-provoking . +Yeah . I found it is so close to our life . +It reflects some of our difficulties in this ever-changing world . +You said it . You know , the divorce rate has been on the rise in recent year . +Well , it's said that a lot of young people favor getting married quickly which tend to end quickly too . +I know a couple who divorced a week after getting married . +Oh , that's too short-lived . +That's true . It's said the short-lived marriage is typical of the post - 80s ' generation . +II can't agree more . The only-child-generation in China tends to know little about marriage . +Definitely.They don't take relationships and marriages very seriously . +In their mind , love is nothing but passion and marriage is over once the passion is gone . +I think , as the saying goes haste makes waste , it is the same with marriage . +Which is your preference , tea or coffee ? +My choice would always be tea . +When did you form this hobby ? +Last year when I visited China . +How do you get paid ? If you don't mind my asking . +Not cash . But if our launch goes well , my stock options will pay off , big time . +And in the meantime , how do you pay the rent ? +I don't have to worry about rent . I live right here . +What ? In your cubicle ? +Right here . Me and my PC . Home sweet home . +Excuse me . Have you forgotten our drinks ? +Sorry , I'll bring them to you right away . +Why is it taking so long ? +We are short of staff today . +There is something wrong with this dish . +What's wrong ? +I don't think this is fresh . +They were delivered this morning . +Would you please ask the manager to come over ? +I've been looking forward to the new semester . +I hope we can make great progress in this new semester . +Hope so . +I hear we ’ ll have a new English teacher this semester . +Really ? I hope we will do much better under her guidance . +I am sure we will . +I am considering going for the new job that was posted yesterday . +Are you certain that that is what you want to do ? +It may not be the best choice for me , but I am considering it . +Why do you think that this would be a good move ? +I believe that this job would allow me to move up but might be a little boring for me . +Yes , there are always pros and cons to making a career change . +Also , the matter of pay is also a consideration . +I think the slight pay decrease might be worth it . The benefits are much better . +Yes , sometimes giving up a little to move forward is the best choice . +I think you should definitely apply for the position . +What do you do ? +I'm a teacher . +How much do you make a month ? +Mind your own business . +I wish I could unsay the sharp words to him . He must hate me very much . +He doesn't mind . As a matter of fact , he's very pleased . +Really ? Oh , thank Goodness ! +I don't know . I think you might be over the hill . +Well , if not gymnastics , then mountain biking . +Mountain biking is an Olympic sport ? +Since 1996 it has been . And I bet I'd be pretty good at it . I ride my mountain bike to work almost every day . +What ’ s your city like ? +It ’ s quite an interesting place to live . The best thing to do in my city is go shopping . There are several indoor and outdoor markets , department stores and shopping malls . +Is the traffic bad in the city centre ? +Not really . Cars are not permitted in several parts of city centre , especially in the main shopping areas . The public transport system is pretty good . +What about restaurants and entertainment ? +There are restaurants with food from all over the world . We have a small china-town near the city centre . There are many Indian , Thai , and Italian restaurants all over the city centre . There are many sports events in my city . We have several sports venues for football , rugby , and cricket-even ice-skating and ice hockey . +Is there a lot of nightlife in your city ? +There are several good clubs near the city centre . Many people in my city prefer something more ’ cultural ” , so we several theatres and venues for classical music concerts and operas . +It sounds like a really exciting city to live in . +It is . I hope you ’ ll have time to come for a visit soon . You really should come during the summer , when the weather is better and there ’ s more happening outdoors . +When do you celebrate Thanksgiving ? +On the fourth Thursday of November . +What do you eat on that day ? +People cook turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner . +Anything else ? +Besides the turkeys , we'll also have other delicious food . Such as pumpkin pies , puddings , mashed potatoes , bread , a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables . +I'm almost hungry . +Great party , isn ’ t it ? +Yeah , really . +By the way , my name is Liu Wei . +Hi , I ’ m Susan Marshall.You can call me Susan.Nice to meet you . +What do you do , Susan ? +Well , I ’ m a college student.How about you ? +I work for the Bank of China , in the International Section . +I work for the Bank of China , in the International Section . +Oh , please ! Don't be so old-fashioned ! It's totally safe . +I sure hope you didn't trust anyone with your credit card number . +All I did so far was make a bid on the Buddha . It was easy ! +Easy ? Ha ! ! It was easy for them to cheat you ! ! +Oh , come on ! I just gave them my e-mail , my address and my phone number . And my name , of course . +I think that ’ s settled . +I'm tired of your cut-and-dried opinions . Who do you think you are ! +How dare you speak to me like this . +Why not ? +Honey , I ’ ll be right back ! +Where are you going ? +I told you already ! I ’ m going to get my nails done . +Again ? You just went last week ! You spend more time at the nail salon than you do here at home ! Honestly , why do you need a manicure every week ? +Well , first of all , I like to pamper myself , and my nails look great . You should come with me ! +Why ? I don ’ t want to have nail polish or anything like that ! +They don ’ t only paint my nails ! The manicurist will remove my cuticles , file my nails , and apply at least nails coats of nail polish ! +Yeah , sounds like something I should definitely do . +Excuse me . Do you have a minute ? I'd like to tell you about the Bucky Card . +Well ... alright . I guess I have a minute . +Do you know about the Bucky Card ? +I've heard about it , but I don't really know about it . +The Bucky Card is a great way for you to save money while you have a good time here at school.It gives you discounts on all kinds of things . Movies , pizza , clothing , school supplies . +What about beer ? +The Card doesn't actually give you discounts on beer.But it will give you discounts on certain club cover charges.So if you want to see your favorite band at Amy's or Cosmo's Club , you get a discount on the entrance fee . +That's pretty cool . How much of a discount ? +Usually it's two dollars off the cover price . +And all these other things , pizza and movies for instance--how much of a discount do I get on that stuff ? +This pamphlet shows you what restaurants and movie theaters have discounts.And twice every semester we will send you a new issue of the pamphlet.The Bucky Card has just started.Every couple months we have new businesses joining our program.It ' s a great way for students to save money ! +Alright , alright . Let me look at that pamphlet.Hmm . Alessio's Pizza Parlor . That's cool . I go there all the time.And Cosmo's Club . And 4 - D records . Alright . How much does it cost ? +It costs only 19 dollars a year for a card . +Whoa ! That's expensive ! It should be cheaper . +But think of how much money you'll save ! You can use it for a year . +Yeah , maybe . Alright . Give me an application form . +who are you writing a letter to ? +I'm just responding to Sue's letter . Do you want to help ? +OK . I guess I could add something . Tell them that I send my love . +that's kind of boring . Don't you want to tell them anything else ? +well , maybe you could tell them about my promotion . +you've been promoted ? when did that happen ? +just today . I guess I forgot to mention it . +congratulations ! That's really exciting ! Let's get out a bottle of wine to celebrate ! +shouldn't we finish writing this letter first ? +ah . That can wait . Your promotion is the best news I've heard in a long time ! +it is good news , but it looked like you were almost finished . We might as well just sign off . +ok , you're right . I'll just tell them how round I am of you for getting a promotion and then I'll thank Sue for her kind letter . +I guess you can write that I'm looking forward to seeing them in June . +that's thoughtful of you . +and also thank them from the bottom of my heart for the Christmas package they sent us . +that's right ! I almost forgot about that . +what would you do without me ? +we do balance each other out well . I guess we were really made for each other ! +May I help you with something ? +I would like to return these books . +What happened to this book ? +I dropped it , and the cover tore off . +I ’ m going to have to charge you for the damage . +How much ? +It ’ s only $ 5 . +That ’ s not too bad . +I know it ’ s not . +Here ’ s the money for the book . +Thank you for your payment . +You are very welcome . +He is penny wise and pound-foolish . +Why do you say so ? +The trash of the world he sets high price upon , but the heavenly things he shamefully undervalues . +Maybe all of us are the same . +Hey , Tom . You look tired . Are you all right ? +I didn't sleep much last night . +How come ? +You know Miao Li-my roommate , he bought a computer last month . He has turned his computer into an electronic playground . He plays football , rides horses , drives racing cars , and does a whole bunch of other games . Every night he keeps me up . +Don't you like games +I usually get a lot of information on the computer and use E-mail to send messages to my friends . +Me too . Recently , I've made many friends on the net . Every day I talk to them and share many interesting things with them . +Don't you think it's a sheer waste of both time and money ? +I'm afraid not . To me getting in touch with each other has more fun than the coolest computer games or the hottest information . +Yes . +What's the weather like in your city ? +In the summer it gets very hot.the temperature is often between 37 and 40 centigrade.when it is hot we often get rains.the winters are drier . +The summer temperature usually often reaches about 20 or25 in my city.the rain falls mostly in the winter.and we often get snow . +What are the temperatures in winter ? in my city it is about 15 or 20 degrees . +In winter temperature often falls to zero at night temperature can be below that.the streets are often icing in the morning.with high such temperatures you must get some thunderstorms . +Yeah , we do . in the middle of summer there can be thunderstorms every day usually in the afternoon . i heard your city has a lot of fog , is that true ? +We do have a few foggy days in winter.but i would not say we have a lot of fogs.the sky are usually clearly over your city , are they ? +Yes , they are . like i said we have thunderstorms.but each one usually only last a few hours.then the skys are clear again . +Have you ever had snow in your city ? +My grandmother said there was snow once when she was a child.but my parents and i only see it outside of our city . +The river in my city sometime freeze over.people go ice-skating on it.on summer people go boating on the river.but few people go swimming because it is not very clean . +As you know , my city is on the coast.the water is also not clean.but people still go swimming all year around . i prefer to sand bath on the beach when the weather is hot in sunny . +I used to think that Americans had so much money they didn ’ t know what to do with it . +You did ? +Yes . But now I ’ Ve learned differently . Now I have a more realistic opinion . +What do you think now ? +There are lots of jobs , and almost everybody works . There is a high standard of living . People earn a lot , but they spend a lot to live . So there isn ’ t so much money after all . +But I still say Americans spend a lot more money on useless things than we Chinese do . +That ’ s true . But Americans work hard for their money like we do . I don ’ t know why our spending habits are so different . +I am exhausted . I need some sleep . +Didn ’ t you sleep well last night ? +I twisted and turned all night , and couldn ’ t sleep . I was worried about my mother ’ s health . +Don ’ t worry . It ’ s only a cold . +Fairly warm this morning , isn't it ? +You're right.The air is so warm and everything looks so fresh and green . +Say , how about a walk along the river ? +Marvelous idea ? +How do you like other films starring Charlie Chaplin ? +Well , I like others very much , but I really don't think much of this one . +You don't like the performance , do you ? +Yes , but I don't like the story . +Lots of elderly people want peace and quiet in their old age , but young people want an unconstrained life . +It would be good for both if they lived separately . My parents want to live apart from us . +What if old people are in poor health and need to be looked after ? +Young people ought to carry out their responsibilities . If it's needed , they would live with their parents . +When I ’ m old , I ’ ll also be like that . +You need a child first , and that's your duty , too . +I know that's what I must do . +I went to visit a customer in IVS Company the other day . Their offices were very impressive , especially their company Logo which is all over the place . There are Logo models in metal , copper , clove , paper . They are even printed on the wall paper and the balls of the table-lights . It is really decorated identity . +It is just too much . Don ’ t you feel it is an exaggerating style to decorate offices in that way ? +Not at all ! I like the design so much . The designer must have thought really hard to come out with such a brilliant concept . +Wow , I doubt that . +Oh , Linda . You must be so excited about going to study in America . +Oh yes I am . I have always wanted to go to the States . I love meeting new people and making new friends . +Well , I am sure you will . +Well , there is one thing . +What is the matter ? +I am a little worried about my host family . You know , in the agreement , I have to do some cooking for them . +Yes ? +Well , I am just afraid they won't like my Chinese way of cooking . +Oh , listen , you'll soon learn , and I am sure they will explain to you how they like to get prepared . +Oh , let's hope so . +So what did you think about the movie ? +Well , I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work , but not as good as the previous ones . +Really ? I don't agree . This Star Wars episode was incredible ! +Why do you think so ? +Well , one of the most spectacular things about this one was the special effects . State of the art special effects are the main reason for the success of previous episodes , so audiences have high expectations for this one , and I don't think they will be disappointed . +You are right . The special effects were amazing . And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and otherworldly costumes , weapons and creatures . +It's kind of cool that they are still using the same Star Wars theme song for this movie . +Yeah ! It reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes . +I know exactly what you mean . Hearing that song gives me a nostalgic feeling . +I thought the overall plot of the movie was very interesting , but I don't think the character development was that strong . +Do you think that they had anything to do with the casting of the movie ? +No , the casting is great and the actors were excellent . They just didn ’ t have a lot of funny or meaningful dialogues . The writing was also a little weak . +Well , maybe . But I like the little kid who played Manakin Skywalker . I can't imagine anyone else playing that role . +I liked him too . He is so cute ! You know , even though I was slightly disappointed , I can't wait for the next episode . I wonder when they ’ re going to start making it and when it ’ s scheduled for release ? +I've no idea . But looking at the success of Star Wars episode , I've a strong feeling production for the next episode will be selling pretty soon . I hope It will be even better than this one . +I hope so , too . +Well , I think we should go now . It's getting pretty late . +Okay , let's go ! +Well , you know what , don ’ t do it , ‘ cause the minute you do , they lose all respect for you . +Well , it ’ s not like that . We just e-mail , it ’ s really nothing . On top of which I am definitely thinking about stopping because it ’ s getting ... +Out of hand . +Confusing . But not , because it ’ s nothing . +Where ’ d you meet him ? +Oh , listen , I can ’ t even remember . Ok , on my birthday , I wandered into over 30 rooms , for a joke , sort of and he was there , and we started chatting ... +About what ? +Oh , books , and music , how much we both love New York . Harmless , harmless , meaningless . Bouquets of sharpened pencils . Oh . +Excuse me ? +Forget it . We don ’ t talk about anything personal , so I don ’ t know his name or what he does or where he lives exactly . So it ’ ll be really easy for me to stop seeing him , because I ’ m not ... +What's so special today ? +Why ? +Didn't you notice all the roses ? +It's July 7th . Chinese Valentine's Day ! +Oh , God . I just forget it . +I thought you had trouble with Clive ! +No . But now he will be in bigger trouble ! What's a boyfriend for ? Forget about Valentine's Day ? +Poor guy ! It's not fair . You forgot it too . +Oh , it's Clive . +Wow ! Good timing . +Excuse me for a while.Clive asked me out to a movie ! Do you want to join us ? +Come on . Two is company . +So what ? +It's Valentine's Day . Come on . Just go . +John , I ’ d like you to meet Charles Brown , our new manager at the airport . +Yes , certainly . How can I recognize him ? +He is short , well-built , and he ’ s got light blond hair . +Is there anything else ? +He has a mustache , if I remember correctly , and a light complexion . +How old is he ? +He is in his late thirties . +Well . I shouldn ’ t have any trouble recognizing him . What time does his flight arrive ? +At two thirty . +Hi , Tony . You look unhappy . What's wrong ? +Oh , Steven , I made a big mistake . +What happened ? +I really wish I hadn ’ t done it . +What on earth are you talking about ? +I got caught cheating . I feel so ashamed . The teacher saw me and told me I failed . +What were you thinking ? +You know my father . If I fail , he'll kill me . I have to do well . +But what you should do is study hard . +I know ... I know ... it's all my fault . I feel awful that I didn ’ t study , and I cheated , and I got caught . +So long as you learn from your mistakes . +Hello , John . How are you ? +I'm fine , thanks . And you ? +Very well , thanks . Nice to see you again . I haven't seen you for a long time . What have you been doing lately ? +Oh , nothing much really . And how is everything with you ? +Fine , thanks . I've been busy lately . +What have you been doing ? +I've been studying for my exams . My school exams will begin next month . +Really ? Good luck for them . +Thanks . And how are your parents ? +They're both very well , thanks . +Where are you going now ? +I'm going to do some shopping . Why don't you come with me ? +I can't . I have to meet someone . +It's been nice talking to you . +Good-bye . See you again sometime . +Good evening . Welcome to our program . +Thank you . Good evening , Mr.Dean . +Would you tell us your name , please ? +I'm Helen Baker . +Glad to meet you , Ms.Baker . +Glad to meet you , too . +Where are you from , Ms.Baker ? +I'm from New Zealand . +What do you do for a living ? +I'm a teacher . +Thank you for coming , Ms.baker . +I ’ m tired , Larry . Can we have a break ? +What ? You ’ re tired ? But we just started about twenty minutes ago . +I know , but I ’ m really tired . My stomach feels funny . +What ’ s the matter ? Didn ’ t you sleep well last night ? +I was too excited to sleep last night . I didn ’ t go to sleep until quite late . +Then when did you go to sleep ? +About 2 o ’ clock in the morning . +When ? +About 2 o ’ clock . +Oh , Susie . Didn ’ t I tell you over and over again that you wouldn ’ t be able to climb the mountain unless you got enough sleep ? +You did , but I can ’ t help it . +This is a one-day trip . We ’ ll have to keep going and try to reach the top by noon or give up right now and go home . Which one do you choose ? +Which one do I choose ? I don ’ t want to give up , but I really feel tired . +So , make up your mind quickly . Whether to keep going or give up . +Let me think about it . What should I do ? I think I will not give up . +Man , that sunset is beautiful . I ’ Ve never seen one so red . +Yeah , it ’ s pretty nice , but its so red because of air pollution . +Really ? +Yeah , the smog from all these cars gets into the air and turns the sunlight red . +I never knew that . +Yeah , more people need to take public transportation or carpool . +Well , we ’ Ve already done our part . +Yeah , it ’ s your turn to drive next week . Don ’ t be late picking me up . +Don ’ t worry . I ’ m getting more sleep these days . The baby ’ s finally growing up a little more . +Well , give me a call if you can ’ t make it for some reason . +Happy New Year , Jim ! +Thank you , same to you ! Lee , have you got any plans ? +Yeah , I'm going to the Temple Fair with my family . +How nice ! Have fun ! +Henry , don ’ t get out of doing housework . +It ’ s none of my business . +You mean that is my business . +I don ’ t say that . But it seems to me the housewife should do that . +I ’ m your wife , not a housewife . I have my own work . +Hum ... +Darling , I have news for you . Bobby and his wife , Evelyn , are going to have a baby soon . +Really ? I thought his wife couldn ’ t have a baby . +Actually they ’ re expecting the baby to come on my birthday . +Oh , what a coincidence ! I bet Bobby must be very happy about it . He likes children and always wants a child of his own . +In fact , they ’ re both very excited about the coming baby . Evelyn imagines what their baby would be look like , since one parent is American and the other one is Chinese . +Oh , right . Now I know why they would want to see our boy . It ’ s hard to imagine the wonder ! Are they expecting a boy or a girl ? +It ’ s still a mystery . Because Evelyn is only three-month pregnant . But she begins to take her maternity leave now . +Oh ! You mean she doesn ’ t have to work now ? It ’ s hard for young parents not to overreact , isn ’ t it ? +I want to know how to buy something from this machine . +Yeah , the new ones can be tricky . What are you trying to buy ? +I want to buy one of those snack things . +Are you ready to go ? +I'm clear so far . +The money goes in the slot over there . It has to be smooth to go in . +It won't go in ! +Just remember that you might have to feed the money in a couple of times to get it to work . +Yes , next step . +Make your selection and hope for the best . Vending machines aren't all that reliable . +They're totally unreliable . +You seem to have it down . Have a good day ! +Hello , Lily . +Hello , Mr . Clark . You ’ re early for lunch . It ’ s only eleven o ’ clock . +When I come late , there ’ s usually nothing left . +What would you like today ? +I ’ ll have the leg of lamb . +And would you like salad ? The salad plate today is lettuce , tomatoes , and black olives . +How may I help you ? +I couldn ’ t find the book I was looking for . +Have you checked the database ? +I checked . +Was it on the shelf ? +It should have been , but it wasn ’ t . +Maybe someone took it . +Will you be getting another copy anytime soon ? +I ’ m sure we will . +Would you be able to reserve it for me ? +I sure will . +Thank you very much . +do you have internet in your room ? +sure , I am a total internet junkie , I can't survive without internet . +really ? What do you usually do online ? +well , there are a lot of things , like reading news , email , shopping , etc . but mostly I chat online . You could say I'm addicted to online chatting . +I never chatted online before . What's it like . +well , basically it's similar to face-to-face chat , but you type instead of talk . You should try it at least once . +really ? Who do you chat with ? +to people all over the world ! I have a lot of net pals . See , the magic of internet is that it connects people from all over the world . You can chat with someone thousands of miles away as if they were +that's amazing . I will install an online messenger program when I get home . +well , my suggestion for a newbie like you is that don't get lost in the cyberspace . You know internet won't do the filtration for you , so you still need to use your judgement . There are a lot of per +don't worry . +What are you doing now , Steven ? +I am reading a book about money management . +Oh , my God . Do you want to be a millionaire ? I can see you are very crazy about money . +Everyone wants to earn a lot of money . Don't you think so ? What's more , I am interested in money management . +No , you are wrong . Money can't buy happiness and health . I won't sacrifice my health in order to get money . In other words , I don't want to be a millionaire and I want to have more free time to enjoy life . +Oh , I see . But a proverb says " Money makes the mare go . " I think it will be better if you have more money . +Maybe you are right . Please take care of yourself when you make money . Anyway health is the most important thing . +Thank you for your caring . I will . +No thanks . +It's the 17th week now , isn't it ? +Yes , it is . +Oh , the final exam is coming soon . I feel a little bit nervous . +Take it easy . There is still one more week left before the exam begins . Have you prepared for it well ? +No , I haven't began my preparations . +Then shall we make preparations together ? +Great . You can help me a lot with English . +All right . But I am very poor at math . Would you like to help me with my math ? +No problem . +Have you ever been to any other country ? +Pity I haven't . If I can afford it , I'll certainly take a trip abroad . +That's also my dream . +How about going to italy next summer vacation ? +Why not ? +You are blue in the face , arn't you ? +The cat has eaten my fish , I'll kill it . +But supposing your son killed like the fish , what do you think then ? +I'll beat him . +So beat the cat , but don't kill it . +You ’ re all set now ? +Oh , thank you so much . +Really , it was nothing . +I really appreciated it . +I was happy to help . +It was so kind of you . +Don ’ t mention it . +You ’ re a real friend in need . +Let's get together this weekend . +Sounds good . +What time is it , Tom ? +Just a minute . It's ten to nine by my watch . +Is it ? I had no idea it was so late . I must be off now . +What's the hurry ? +I must catch the nine-thirty train . +You've plenty of time yet . The railway station is very close . It won't take more than twenty minutes to get there . +Are you still at that work ? +Yes , I'm still working there . But I really find my job boring . I'd like to change my job . +What sort of job do you have in mind ? +I think I'm quite fit for a driver . +But it's very tired . +I don't care . +What's your parents ' opinion ? +I haven't told them . Maybe I'll make them know after the vacation . +is this seat taken ? +no . please sit down . +thanks . +are you also going to Beijing ? +yes , on a business trip . How about you ? +I'm taking a vacation to visit a friend there . Have you ever been there before ? +yes , I went there once last summer . +really ? What did you think ? +I think it is amazing . You can enjoy both the traditional Chinese culture as well as the vitality of a modern cosmopolitan city . The only thing I didn't enjoy was the subway . +was it that crowded ? +yes . There were always so many people . After taking the subway during the rush hour , you ’ ll envy sardines in their cans . +oh , maybe I can take the bus or even rent a car . +that's a good idea . Wish you a great vacation ! +thank you very much ! +Do you like watching TV ? +Yes I do , usually . +What do you exactly mean by usually ? +I don't like spending time on commercials.There ' re too many commercials on TV . +We're forming a study group to prepare for the finals . Do you want to join us ? +But the semester just started ? Why the rush ? +After you try it once this way , I don't think you'll ever put off studying till the end again . +How often do you meet ? +We plan to get together once a week . +What days , do you know ? +We were talking about Wednesday evenings at the library , from seven to eight . +Okay , count me in . +What is wrong with Peter ? He sure looks unhappy . +His girlfriend dumped him , and he is tearing his heart out over her . +How foolish he is . The girl is inviting . She often makes a pass at boys . +Love is blind , you know . +Can you lend me your car ? +Nothing ' doing . +Peter , which club do you want to join ? +I haven't decided yet . What about you , Andy ? +I am a member of the basketball club . Do you want to join us ? +But I don't know how to play basketball . +It's OK . Don't worry about it . Our school coach will train us to play basketball . +You ’ re all set now ? +Oh , thank you so much . +Really , it was nothing . +I really appreciated it . +I was happy to help . +It was so kind of you . +Don ’ t mention it . +You ’ re a real friend in need . +Hi , Jason ! +Hi , Linda . I have two concert complimentary tickets . Will you go with me tonight ? +With the greatest pleasure ! Where is the concert held this evening ? +It will be held at the Central Music Hall . +What is on the program ? +It ’ s a piano solo . I'm fond of piano , you know . +Hah ! OK . Let ’ s go together ! +Let ’ s meet at the park at 6:00 . +See you then . +I'm tired of this job . +So am I . +Good afternoon , would you mind if I sit here ? +Of course not . +I ’ m Jack . What ’ s your name ? +Laura . +Do you like this place ? +I don ’ t think it ’ s very nice . And my father doesn ’ t like it . But my mother likes it very much . So we often come here . +How often ? +Well , we come here almost every month . +Who ’ s that ? +It ’ s my mother . She ’ s fond of swimming . And the man beside her is my father . +Do you like swimming ? +No , I hate swimming . I prefer playing tennis . +What shall I call him ? +Oh , you may call him Uncle , or Henry . +What's he doing ? +He's checking bags.He ' s an official in the customs . +Hi , John ! How was your vacation ? +We went to Malaysia and Thailand . +That must have been wonderful . Do anything interesting ? +Well . We went bungee jumping when we were in Malaysia . +Wow , isn't that dangerous ? +A little , but the rush was worth it . +Tell me about it . +We jumped off a bridge and fell 500 feet before the bungee cord caught us . +500 feet ! I would never be able to do that . +Yeah , It was scary but exhilarating . +It's a lovely day , isn't it ? +Yes , the weather sure is nice today . +I love it when the weather is like this.Why don't we sit down outside and have our lunch ? +That sounds like a good idea.The sky is clear , the sun is shining and there's a nice cool breeze , so it is not too hot . +I really miss the change of seasons like we have in Colorado ; but I must admit , this sure is a nice spring day . +Hey , this spot in the shade looks really comfortable . +Okay.Hey , is that a dark cloud over there ? Do you think it will rain after all ? +I don't think so . I say the weather report last night , and it said the weather should be fine all day . +If the weather stays nice perhaps we can go to the beach this weekend.It ' s been a while since I've not really gotten some sun . +Did you go to the movie yesterday ? +Yes , I did . +What did you think of it ? +I don't think much of the film . +I think it is the worst one I have ever seen . +Oh , I'm not sure I agree with you . It was not a good one , but it was not the worst one . Actually , it wasn't too bad . +I can't think the same . +What's more , some scenes were good , much fit for the children . +I couldn't agree with you . +There has been talk at school about canceling the concert . +Really ? Who did you hear that from ? +Just word of mouth . +Do you have the notes from last week's class ? +Did you come late ? +I couldn't make it . +Why is that ? +I was sick . +Oh , okay . Well , here you go . +Are these all of them ? +Oh , wait , here are the rest . +Thanks a bunch . +Don't mention it . +Excuse me , Professor . I think there might be an error in my test score . +Sure . Do you think that the total is wrong or that you got something marked wrong that should have been marked right ? +I think that the percentage is incorrect . +Let's just go over all of it to double-check . +Sure , let's do it . +Here is the answer sheet . Do you see a place where I marked something wrong that should have been right ? +I don't see any mistakes . +OK , now that we've gotten those straightened out , let's total the score . +Yes , let's total it . +Well , if I total that like this and divide by this number , I get this total . Do you agree ? +Yes , you're right . +Well then , we are all straight . Have a good day and thanks for bringing that to my attention . +A new film is on.Have you ever seen it ? +What kind of movie is it ? +It's a feature film . +Oh , I've no interest in such films . +Mary , I heard you moved again . +Yeah . I could not stand living here . There is always much noise in the neighborhood . +You mean noise ? How could it be ? +You know , on weekends when we wanted to have late rise in the morning , our neighbour started to raise Cain . +What do you think of your teacher ? +He's very strict with us . +And I hear he gives very good lectures . +Indeed . He's strict with himself too . We can see every lecture of his is well-prepared . +What do you want to do tomorrow night ? +What--is tomorrow night something special ? +It's Friday . We should go party . +I don't need to drink every weekend . I could be happy just staying home , you know . +Okay . Stay home Sunday . But Friday we should go out dancing . +Do you feel like dancing ? +Yes ? Why not ? +Alright.At least that's better than sitting in a bar with your alcoholic friends . +They aren't alcoholic ! +No , maybe they're not . But they're close . +So where should we go ? +Let's go to the Latin Club . I think they will have a Brazilian band there this weekend . Maybe it's Friday night . +You always want to go to the Latin Club . I don't know those dance steps . I'd rather go to the New Bar . +The New Bar is all techno music on Friday night.You really want to dance to that ? +It's not all techno music . It's not a special techno night . +No . But they play techno all the time . It drives me crazy after forty minutes.And anyhow , if we go to the Latin Club you could actually learn some Latin dance steps.At the New Bar you'll just shake yourself around for an hour.And then you'll get sick of stand you'll want to go get drunk somewhere where the drinks are cheaper . I know you . +It's fine with me if we go to the Latin Club . I like Latin Music.The only thing I never want to do again is listen to country rock.What was that bar called ? +Oh . You mean Jerry's , over on the east side.That wasn't my idea going there . +No . It was that friend of yours , Melissa.Her and all her lousy country music Cds . Yecch ! +It's true . I would never go there again either.Country music is a nightmare . So is it the Latin Club ? +Yes . You have to teach me the samba , and the tango , and whatever else they do . +Well , it seems you'll have to learn some Spanish too , won't you ? +Maybe . +David , do you think we are lucky to have the weekend ? +Definitely . I need to have enough time to have a rest on this weekend . We worked like bees in the whole working days . +I agree with you . What do you want to do , except sleeping ? +Let me think . Oh , awful ! I still have not finished the chart which was assigned by Mr . Wharton on Friday . So that task will make my busy . +I am better . I will go out to have a visit to my aunt . Why don't we have fun on weekend ? +So what ? +And what's your vision ? +20/350 . +Mine's 20/20 . Life just isn't fair , is it ? +Oh , yes , it is . +What do you mean ? +You'll find out when we're in the woods and you have to go to the bathroom ... +They don't have toilets at the campground ? +Let's just say I'll have it easy ... +A funny thing happened to me the other day . +Oh , yes ? +I was just thinking about someone I went to school with , this boy I was quite friendly with in third grade . We used to hang out together - he lived next door - but then my parents moved and I changed schools and never saw him again . +Mmm . +Well , I was walking down Nan Jing Dong Lu ( Nan-Jing E . Rd . ) during my lunch break thinking about this boy-I have no idea why I was thinking about him . +Really ? +Yes . And suddenly I heard someone call my name . I turned around and there was this man looking at me . I didn't recognize him at all , but he obviously knew who I was . +Oh , yeah , that's embarrassing when that happens . +You got it . Well , he walked up to me and said my name again and then I realized it was the boy I had been thinking about , the one from third grade ! +You look tired . Did you sleep well last night ? +I stayed up all night writing a report . +Go easy . Overwork is bad for your health . +Hi , how ’ re you doing ? +Terrible . +Oh , what ’ s the matter ? +I ’ Ve got a fever and really a bad headache . +Oh , that ’ s too bad . Why don ’ t you take some aspirin ? +I ’ Ve already tried some but it didn ’ t help . +Well , it ’ s necessary for you to see a doctor . +Yeah , I guess I should . +Well , you ’ d better get some rest . +Thank you very much . +Bye . +Did you hear the news ? Two of our major suppliers , Murphy Music and U-Tunes are merging ! If they are conglomerated into one company into one company , it would have some serious affects on our market strategy . +Are you sure ? Who told you that ? I highly doubt that they would take the step to merge into one company ... They're supposed to be bitter enemies , the strictest of competitors.It must be a rumor.It can't be true . +I read it myself on the financial page.They ' re really going to join together . U-Tunes was bought out by Murphy's , they will take over the company as of next month . +The competition must have been too stiff for U-Tunes.Otherwise why would they allow themselves to be taken over by their sworn enemy ? +I guess they must have figured it would be easier to merge than to keep up the cutthroat competition.If you can't beat'em , join'em . +Daniel , would you like to have a look at my dorm ? +Of course , I'd like to . +It is a small room , just for 4 people . +What is in it ? +It only has 4 beds and 4 writing desks , but it is spacious and bright . +Do you get along with your roommates ? +Of course . They are very friendly . +Which floor are you on ? +We are on the 5th floor , and there's a very nice view from the balcony . +Oh , you can climb the stairs as a workout . +Yes , that's a good idea . +Wow , your roommates are cleaning the room . +Let's give them a hand . +I like hitchhiking.will you go with me ? +Oh , no . I don't think I'm in that good form . +It's a pity.Say , how about a place near enough ? +To where exactly ? +New England . +That's still too far for me . +Excuse me . Nature calls . +If you gotta go , you gotta go . +Julia , will you be my wife ? +I'm sorry , Steven . +Please , Julia , I have made proposal to you five times . I really want to share the rest of my life with you . +I know . But I ’ m not ready for married life yet . +Julia , I really love you . I hope I can stay with you no matter you are happy or sad in future . +Your way does touch my heart . +So , will you marry me ? +I want to think of it for some time . +Yeah , it's really cute . But why a monkey suit ? Is Hello Kitty having an identity complex ? +No , she's wearing my Chinese zodiac sign . +You were born in the year of the monkey ? +Yeah , are you surprised ? +Not at all ! That explains everything ! +What's the time ? My watch has stopped . +Let me see . It's five minutes to eleven . +Is your watch right ? +I think so . I see it by the radio this morning . +How long will it take to learn English ? Will I be able to take other courses next semester or will English take up all of my time ? +It ’ s hard to say . Language isn ’ t like other studies . +You mean I could finish this course and still not know English ? You ’ Ve got to be kidding ! +I ’ m not kidding . Learning a language is a question of forming language habits and that takes time . +So do we have to stay in this English class forever ? +No . You just have to stay here long enough to get some orientation . Then you go on practicing and learning outside . A lot of learning depends on your personal motivation . +So it ’ s really the same story . Practice , practice , practice and more practice is the only way to learn a language . +You said it . +How nice it is here +You can say that again . The sunny shining and there ’ s pleasant raise . it ’ s so lovely +I ’ Ve heard the whether here is ideal , just like spring most of the year +That ’ s correct . we have four seasons of spring +You're going to get into a lot of trouble if you do that . +What makes you say that ? +I don't see anything wrong with what we're doing ! That's just the problem . In these kind of things , the trouble doesn't always appear at first . +But everything has been so easy . +Everything has gone as smooth as clockwork . Just like we planned ! That may be true , but if you were to do it , you would have trouble on the horizon . You always say that . +Yeah , you never look at the positive side of things . +Okay . Have it your way , but don't say I didn't warn you . +Excuse me , is this seat taken ? +Er ... no , go ahead . +You work upstair , right ? I think I have seen you before . I'm Karren , Karren Brown . +Nice to meet you , Karren . I'm Tim Wang . +Happy to know you , Tim . +I can bet the farm that you will regret about your decision . You cannot find a better one . +How can you be so sure ? You haven ’ t been together with her , have you ? +No . But I ’ m sure she is a good girl . My sixth sense tells me so . +Then try it yourself . +Betty , would you please read this letter of application I've just written ? I'd like to have your opinion . +I'd be glad to tell you what I think . +Good ! I'm interested in your advice . +If I were you , I would change the beginning . You should write about your education first because we like to judge a man by his abilities . +Good idea , Betty . What would you think about the second part ? +I think it's too short . You'd better say something about your work experience . +You're right , I'll change it . How about the last part ? +Very good . But you should talk about your family , too . +I agree . I appreciate your helping me . +I see you have bought the latest copy of beauty and fashion . Are there any interesting articles in it ? +There ’ s an interesting interview with a top fashion designer about the latest fashions . I enjoyed reading her thought . The which ? section is very interesting this month . They tested facial cleaners . T +I like to take the tests that they print in this magazine . +Which tests do you mean ? +You know . Tests like how jealous are you ? and are you a fashion victim ? +Oh , I see . I like to do those tests , too , but I don ’ t take them seriously . +Of course not , but sometimes the results make you think about yourself and what you do . According to the jealousy test , I ’ m quite a jealous type of person . Perhaps I need to control my jealousy . +You ’ re right . It ’ s sometimes hard to tell which pages are advertisement and which ones are articles . +If I can improve my vertical jump a few more inches , I think beach volleyball might be my ticket . +But whenever we play , you just sit on the sand , drink beer , and watch the girls ! +It's a beautiful sport , isn't it ? +To be honest , I don't think you could even win a gold in hopscotch ! +OK , OK . Enough already . We'd better hustle . The contest starts in five minutes . +Will it be all right to visit you this evening ? +I'm sorry , but I have an appointment this evening.How about tomorrow evening ? +It's fine with me . +How is night life in Beijing ? +Very interesting ! +What do you suggest then ? +How about going to dance ? There is a very good nightclub nearby . +That's a great idea . Let's go ... Oh , the dance hall looks very nice and the music is wonderful . +I'm glad you like it.The band is called " Four and One " . They are especially good at playing rock and roll . +That's great ! I love to dance to fast music . +Then you must be interested in disco dancing , aren't you ? +Yes , disco dancing is my favorite.It ' s great fun and good exercise as well . +OK . Let's disco . +Now the band is playing a slow dance . +That's a waltz . Would you like to try it ? +Sorry , I think I'Il sit out the next dance . +All right . Let me get you something to drink . +Just remember . The main thing right now is to make sure Stars.com is happy . +Right . You're right . But she's just evil . Someone should drive a stake through her heart . +Elvin , please . Can I count on you to keep your cool for a week , or not ? +I'm OK . I'll be fine . I'v cool . I'm cold . I'm like ice . She won't know what hit her . +By the way , how's the nose ? Boy , that must have hurt . +What do you need ? +I would like to check out a book . +I ’ m going to need your library card . +I don ’ t have a library card . +Why don ’ t you apply for one right now ? +Sure . That would be great . +Please fill out this application . +Okay . Here you go . +Now , sign your name on the back of the card . +Here you go . +Here ’ s your library card . +Thanks . Now I ’ d like to check out this book . +I can ’ t believe my English teacher is making me read pride and prejudice ! +Why not ! It ’ s a classic ; in fact , it ’ s one of my favorite novels . +But it ’ s so old . +Don ’ t judge a book by its cover . Do you Kwon what it ’ s about ? +No , not at all . +First of all , it ’ s a romance novel , set in the early 19th century . +I didn ’ t realize it was a romance novel . What ’ s the main storyline ? +It ’ s basically about a father who tried to marry off one of his five girls . +Why does he want to do that ? +Since he doesn ’ t have a son , he hopes that one of the girls will marry a wealthy man . That way , all of his daughters will be cared for . +Won ’ t they get his inheritance ? +No , that ’ s the problem . Though they are well-off , once he dies , his house will go to his cousin . So , when he dies , the girls will have nothing . +I see . This sounds interesting ! Maybe my teacher isn ’ t so horrible after all . +So , are you going to read the novel or watch the movie ? +There ’ s movie ? My teacher didn ’ t tell me that ! +That ’ s probably because she wants you to read the book first . +It would take a lot less time .. +How about this . When you finish the book . I ’ ll get the movie and watch it with you . +Ok . That sounds like a deal . +What is the matter with him ? +I don't know , what's wrong ? +I feel he is as cold as charity to me . +Maybe you should ask him openly . +Are there many idioms in English ? +There are hundreds and hundreds . English is particularly rich in idiomatic expressions . +Can you give us an example ? +I'll look up the rate . To look up doesn't mean to look high into the sky or to look at the roof . It means to search for and find some information . +What about the expression " goodbye " ? Is that an idiom ? +That is just a natural , grammatical English expression . It has a direct translation in other languages . +This is interesting , Ms.Parker . +Good morning , Mr.Black . I am the new secretary . +Good morning , Miss White . You are half an hour early . +I don't want to make a bad impression . +Come on over . This is your desk , and this is your time card . Be sure to clock in and out before and after you work . +I will . +One more thing , keep your desk neat . It's the rule . There is no exception , even the art designers have to keep their desks neat . +I'll keep that in mind . Does everything on the desk belong to me ? +Not belong . You can use them as long as you work here . When you quit , you ’ ll have to return them to the company . +What's the extension number for my phone ? +The operator will put all your calls through . You don't have to worry about that . +Can I make personal phone calls during my office hours ? +Of course you can . Every one has his personal matters to deal with more or less , but don't chat over the phone . What's more , don't let it hinder your work and the company's business . +I understand . +When you settle down , I'll show you around and introduce you to the department managers . +Oh ! I just want to drop in on him for a chat . +Please come in , Mr.Jackson . +No , thank you.Please tell him to phone me when he comes back . +When in Rome , do as the Romans do , they say . +What do you mean ? +Roman is living in Rome , of course . And go to work by car , or bus , or on foot . +I think the Romans do what everyone else does . +Certainly . +And Roman really loves life . He knows how to enjoy himself . +Not always . But they like good meal . +Really ? +How can I go there to have a taste ? +By air of course . +it seems the department still has some money left in the budget . Do you have any suggestions how to use it before the budget is renewed ? +what about renting a restaurant and treating the employees to a nice dinner ? +but we've done that many times . We want something fresh this time . +okay , let me think . What about a party-and-movie night ? We can rearrange our reference room , invite a band to play some music , order in some food and watch a movie later . +sounds like a good idea , but a band sounds too expensive . +well , we can ask people to make small contributions . +I don ' t think so . I don't think people are going to like it if they have to pay to come . But we certainly can cut costs in other ways , such as make the party BYOB . +BYOB ? What's that ? +bring your own beverage . We can provide food , but people have to bring their own drinks . +so we're just going to have a party where they bring their own drinks and we just give them some snacks ? I don't know how well that will go over . +maybe you have a point . How about having a party on a Friday afternoon ? We'll stop early , order some pizza , and serve drinks . There'll be music but no band . Having the party in the office will make +oh , that sounds like fun ! +just don't understand why we have to take the subway . Look at this place . It's modern enough . But it's far from lively . +It's convenient . People in network go everywhere by subway if they don't drive . +This isn't network , Frida . We are in San Francisco . +What's the difference ? +We haven't come here in business but for pleasure . We should go out exciting . What can you see in the subway ? Nothing ! +What can you see from a tram or a double-decker ? +I can see people who are walking on the sidewalk . I can see cars driving on the streets . I can see the sun shining and beautiful flowers dancing in the wind . I can even smell the scent of flowers and the freshness of the air . +But they are not as convenient as the subway . +You miss the point ! We are not in a hurry to go anywhere . +Well , maybe you are right . We'll be more amused in a tram or a double-decker than on the subway . +I'm so glad you can finally see things in my way . Can we leave this dull place now ? +What about the tickets ? I've already bought them . +Just throw them away ! +It is really exciting news . +What news ? +You don ’ t know ? The company is going to replace these old computers with the latest ones . +You know what we will get ? +We will all get a docking station on our own desk from which you can remove your laptop easily . And if you come back to office , you just reconnect your laptop with docking station . +What docking station ? +This is a kind of socket mounted to your desk . The socket has all the wire connections of the company line and all the other office automation equipments , like fax , copier , a screen , printer and scanner , and it will be very convenient . +Another big step forward in saving on our office equipment , I don ’ t need a desktop anymore . A laptop is enough . +Mary , I have something to tell you . +Go ahead . +I ’ m afraid you ’ ll become angry . But I think I must tell you . +Come on . Don ’ t hesitate . +John made out with other girls at the party yesterday . +I'd like to talk to you about my grades . +Sure ! What exactly do you have questions about ? +I am worried that I messed up on a test . +Well , let me take a look at my grade book . How do YOU think you are doing ? +I think I am doing great , except for that one test ! +Well , your scores show that you could do a little better . What do you think you could improve on ? +I think that I could study a little harder for tests . +Fine ! Please remember that regular attendance is the most important way to begin . +Yes , I know . +I'm sure you'll do fine . +Sandra is actually blue chipper . I don't think she could realize that she has married a fool for women . +That's fate . +I feel sorry for her . +Maybe this is God's will . +good morning ! +good morning , Gav ! Did you sleep well last night ? +I slept like a baby . I fell asleep right away last night , didn't wake up once , and didn't have nay nightmares ! +that's great news ! You look much more relaxed than you did yesterday . +I feel much better , but I'm still worried about something . +what's that ? +well , I have to drive to school for a meeting this morning , and I'm going to end up getting stuck in rush-hour traffic . +that's annoying , but nothing to worry about . +for me , traffic jams are quite stressful , because I'm pretty impatient . How can I prevent myself from getting stressed if I get stuck in a traffic jam ? +just breathe deeply when you feel yourself getting upset . +Ok , I'll try that . +is there anything else bothering you ? +just one more thing . A school called me this morning to see if I could teach a few classes this weekend and I don't know what to do . +do you have any other plans this weekend ? +I'm supposed to work on a paper that'd due on Monday . +try not to take on more than you can handle . +you're right . I probably should just work on my paper . Thanks ! +Do you want to hear a funny joke ? +OK . Are you sure it's funny , though ? +Well , you'll see . +OK . +OK , an Englishman , a Scotsman , and an Irishman were going on a trip across the desert , and they could only take one thing with them . +I see . +So they met up at the start of the journey and showed each other their equipment . +Oh , that's funny ! +Hang on , I haven't finished yet . +Oh , sorry . +Well , as I was saying , they showed each other what they had decided to bring . The Englishman had brought some water . " If we get thirsty , we'll have something to drink , " he said . The Scotsman brought a map . " If we get lost , we'll be able to find our way . " The Irishman had brought a car door . +A car door ? You mean just one car door ? +Yep . A car door . " Why the door ? " the others asked him . " Well , " he said , “ If it gets hot , we can open the window . " Do you get it ? +Well ... +Have you ever run into a person who tries bleed you white ? +I am always on the look out for such girls . +I hear that some guys splash all their money about on them . +Mark is one of them . He has trouble with a girl who turned out to be a dead beat . +I ’ m sorry , Sam . I don ’ t want to foc-concert . +How about going to the theatre ? +I don ’ t like going to the theatre . +Well , what do you like doing ? +traveling , swimming , going to the cinema . And you ? +I like painting , sailing , watching football and talking to you . +I like talking to you too . +Do you want to go to an Exhibition ? There ’ s one of xinghai exhibitions hall tomorrow . +That ’ s a good idea . +I find Beijing Opera is quite a bore . +Young people enjoy pop songs more . +It's just like listening to a language which you know nothing at all . +But you don't have such a problem as to pop songs . +You are married to a foreigner , huh ? So what ’ s it like ? +Well , the first year of our marriage , we had great difficulty getting along . The things that are important to me are not important to him . We had a lot of conflicts . +Yeah , I know what you mean . The first year of any marriage is difficult for all couples , not to mention two people from different cultures . +And now we have a two-year-old boy . We ’ re very happy that he ’ s healthy and smart . +Oh , so he ’ s half Chinese and half American . That ’ s unusual . What languages does he speak , then ? +Right now he speaks mostly Chinese , and he can say a few English words . But he will learn . +What does he look like ? Can people tell ? +Yes , people surely can . He ’ s whiter than the Chinese kids , and his hair is a little blonde . My husband says his eyes are very Chinese though . +Congratulations ! I heard that you are going to take a two-week training course in the headquarter . +Thank you . I am very happy to have this opportunity to learn something new . You know information and knowledge in this field update very fast . +Sure it is . This is a changing world . Does the training course cover the new law and regulation issued last month ? They are very useful for us . +Yes , according to the agenda , there will be a seminar on these issues at the very beginning of the training course . +Well , good for you . I hope you can get what you want from the training . +I will do my best . +Hi ! Tom . Fancy seeing you here It's a nice party isn't it ? +Yeah . Well it's quite some days since we were together last summer.How is everything going ? +Quite well . I got my MA degree two weeks ago . +Congratulations ! +When will the ceremony begin ? +The ceremony will begin at 9 0 ' clock . After the ceremony , there's a reception . By the way , do you know why they have chosen September 9th for their wedding ceremony ? +No idea . +As in English , Chinese also has some lucky numbers . The number 9 stands for perpetuity in Chinese . +Hi , Francis . +Oh , Mike . How are you doing ? +Not bad . It seems you are super yogurt lover . You have so many in your cart . +Well , I prefer yogurt to all the other drinks . Have you ever tried a kind of yogurt with old milk in it ? It tastes great and very healthy too . +Oh , I haven ’ t noticed that before . Maybe I will try next time . +Why don ’ t you go ahead of me ? I have more items than you . +Thank you . In fact , I am in a hurry . My wife is waiting for me at the parking lot . +You ’ re welcome . It was good seeing you again . +Me too . Have a great day . +Does your country export a lot of natural resources ? +We export some coal to European countries , but our biggest exports is copper , which we export to Europe , north America , and China . +Which resources do you have to import ? +We import a little oil from Venezuela , but we are fairly self-sufficient . We import some iron and a lot of aluminium from neighbouring countries . +I heard that you country recently discovered deposits of precious stone . +Yes , that ’ s right . So far , only small deposits have been found . Engineers in my country are focusing on drilling for oil . The government is keen to exploit our natural resources to get money to improve our country . +If your government invests in your country ’ s infrastructure , it will be money well spent . +Yes . We need to put the money into long-term projects rather than wasting it on short-term ones . +Have you seen any good movies lately ? +It's ages since I went to see a film . +Why ? You were a real movie buff when you were a student . +But now I would stay at home watching TV . +Mandy , Would you like to come for dinner tonight ? +Dinner ? Where ? +At the new Five Spices restaurant in Chaoyang . +What kind of food do they serve ? +It ’ s Asian fusion . I heard it ’ s delicious . +Oh really ! That sounds lovely . +Bob is really disturbed these days . +We'd better have a heart-to-heart talk with him . +But we cannot talk like elders . +Of course not . Let's talk to him in a very friendly way . +How was the movie last night ? +I didn't really like it . +Mary said that she was really pleased with the photography . +I found it very disappointing . +She liked the acting , too , because that's what she wanted to see . +I wasn't happy with it . +Nothing is to your satisfaction . +What's the matter with you then ? You look miserable . +It's us . +What do you mean by us ? +Well , you always say you're busy . +That's right . +And you often go back to live with your parents and leave our son in the room by himself . +I ... I ... I miss my parents , also they miss me . +Oh I remember , I cut terrible calls , and you didn't say anything about it . +You mean I am groaned a few words ? +Totally not . Perhaps it's about our marriage . +Everybody , I'd like to propose a toast to Mary Johnson , Teacher of the Year . She worked hard all year . She really deserved the honor . +Yes , we're all proud of her ! +Here's to you , Mary ! +Cheers ! +He thought he could take Jimmy in , but you know , Jimmy is no fool . +So ? +So Jimmy just took him in instead and it cost him an arm and a leg . +You mean finally Henry bought the broken car himself . +Exactly . Herry is almost broken now . +Do you have any plans for tomorrow night ? +Not really . I wasn thinking of maybe going to a movie . Do you want to go with me ? +Sure . What movies were you thinking about going to ? +Have you heard of Hot Fuzz ? +Yes . Isn't the director of that movie the same guy who directed Shaun of the Dead ? +That's the one . It's an actioncomedy . What do you think ? +To be honest , I didn't really like Shaun of the Dead . Besides , I like movies with a happy ending best . +What do you have in mind ? +I was thinking of seeing You , Me and Dupree . It's a typical Hollywood blockbuster . +Isn't that the chick flick with Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson ? +Yeah , I suppose you wouldn't want to see that , huh ? +Not really . Do you like biographical / drama films ? +It depends on who the film is about . Which movie did you have in mind ? +Anne Hathaway is in a new movie called Becoming Jane which is based on a true story about Jane Austen . +That sounds fantastic ! What time is it playing ? +It's on at 8 pm at the Phoenix Theatres . I have a membership there , so I can book the tickets ahead of time . +Great . Shall I meet you there around 7 forty-five tomorrow night ? +Sounds good . I'll see you then ! +Didn't Joe feel it a shame to live on his parents since he has graduated from college ? +He has no sense . +If I were him , I wouldn'tbrazen it outby asking my parents for money . +But Joe won't you . +Hey , Ray , what are you doing right now ? +Not much . Joann . Do you want to hang out ? +Yes , I do . I ’ m at home myself right now with nothing much to do . +Me , too . What would you like to do ? +Well , we could go to a movie . Have you see Shrek 2 ? +I have , actually . How about the movie , Million Dollar Baby with Clint Eastwood ? +Hmm ... I ’ Ve seen that , too . We could go for a walk in the park . +We could , but it looks like it ’ s going to rain soon . +I guess that ’ s out . Why don ’ t we go shopping ? +I ’ d really rather not . I ’ ll be too tempted to buy something that I can ’ t afford ! +Ok . I guess we ’ d be not do that , either , then . What do you want to do ? +I don ’ t know . Do you want to go bowling at the new bowling alley on 1st street ? +I would like to , but I injured my wrist last weekend . +Let ’ s see . Do you want to go to a bar and sing some karaoke ? +That sounds interesting , but I can ’ t drink alcohol with the medicine I ’ m taking . +Doesn ’ t sound like that ’ s be fun , then . Do you want to come here ? +I don ’ t have a car . +Goodness , we ’ re not having much luck here , are we ? +No . do you have a car ? +No , but I could take the bus . +Oh , good . Why don ’ t you take the bus to mine and we could play Mah Tiang ? +That sounds great ! Have you eaten ? +Not yet . I ’ ll cook dinner and have it ready by the time you get here . +Perfect . Are you prepared to give me all your money ? +Huh ? We are going to play for money , aren ’ t we ? +Oh , right . I suppose so . As long as you promise to lose ! +Hey ... as long as I ’ m not alone on a Saturday night , I don ’ t really care what I do ! +See you soon . +Bye ! +Is this your new teacher ? +Yes , it is . +Is she short ? +No , she ’ s average . +What color are her eyes ? +They ’ re dark gray . +What color is her hair ? +It ’ s blond . +And how old is she ? +I don ’ t know . +What's the matter with you ? You look so upset and tired . +My father failed in business . +Oh , that's really tough . +Maybe it is the most difficult period of my family have experienced . +I can understand . By the way , is there anyway I can help ? +No , not now . I have found a part-time job . So perhaps I can help my family to come over the difficulties . +Oh , that's so great , bless you ! if you need me , I'll always be there . +Thank you . +I hear your daughter graduated from high school as the valedictorian . +Thank you . +Where is she going to college ? +She has been admitted to Yale with a scholarship . +Really ? That's the icing on the cake . Congratulation again ! +Thank you . +Where are you going for your holidays , Charles ? +To Australia . I'm going to visit my uncle in Brisbane for three weeks . +Good gracious ! You certainly are lucky . How are you going there ? +By air , of course . It takes over two weeks to go by sea . +I once went to Singapore by air . It was very exciting-but never again . +Why ? Did you feel frightened ? +For a short time . One of the engines caught fire . +What did the pilot do ? +He put it out and flew back to the airport . Then he asked the people at the airport where the emergency runway was . +Did you land safely ? +Yes , we did . But I shall never fly again . +I heard you are going out with John ? +Yes . To be frank , I really love him to death . +You are so lucky . +Why do you say that ? +Why ? Are you kidding me ? A guy like that is hard to find . Few boys are so caring , so patient , and did I mention he is hottie ? +You really think so ? +Totally . I am saying it from the bottom of my heart ! And it's obvious that he ’ s head over heels in love with you , too . +I sure hope so . +I heard a rumor this morning ... It seems Trusten Tools is going out of business.Another competitor is going bankrupt.That could be good news for us . +I think you must have heard wrong.The truth is we are going to be taken over by Trusten.We are being bought out , and our company will be merging with our largest competitor.It ' s not good news at all ... +What ? We are merging with Trusten ? I never thought that would happen.Will we be getting new owners ? Will it affect our jobs ? +Probably.The new owners will be coming to start alignment meetings nextweek.One of the big question is what to call the new conglomerate company . +Wow , with such a big change.We won't have the same name ? +It's not only the name of our company that will change ... I expect that after this acquisition , there'll be a ton of things up in the air . +Well , I'm thinking of going to see the ballet Swan Lake by the famous Russian National Ballet Troupe this evening at Beijing Grand Theater . Why don't you join me ? +I'd like to , but I've got to write a term paper . It will be due by this Thursday . +You always work too hard , Jim . As the saying goes , all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy . You should spare some time for a rest . +I know it is no good for my health if I am staying in the classroom all day . But how about my paper ? +Just take it easy . Come on with me . +I'm terribly sorry I can't go with you . Shall we find some other time ? +Is your father in the habit of having naps ? +Yes , all of us have naps . +Don't you feel dizzy when you have to get up ? +No , not at all . +so nice to see you again , Louise . How are you doing ? +Pretty good . How's your business going , Kevin ? +Not too bad . +What do you think of this suit ? Do I look good or what ? +You look great ! However , I think you are a little over dressed for dinner . +Didn't they say we're going to the Ritz ? +Yes , but not the Ritz Carlton , the " Ritz " is a pizza place with peanut shells on the floor . +In that case , let me make a quick change into my street clothes . +I'll wait right here for you Superman . +Ta da ! Let's go to the Ritz ! +Can we go to the Carlton next time and can you wear that fabulous suit ? +One family skeleton of my family was that my younger brother has an axe to grind . +What did he aim at ? +He began to be interested in finance because he thought he would be able to inherit the family ’ s fortune . +How could he have such an ill intention ? I think your father can see that through . +Did you hear peter just retired ? +Are you sure ? He is quite young , isn't he ? +He is not young as he looks . I think he's almost sixty . +Really ? He looks so young . +You really look familiar . +Really ? My name is Gretchen Hammer . What is your name ? +My name is Phillip Hammer . I think we are related . Who is your dad ? +Jacob Hammer . He is originally from Holland . +That's my uncle . You're my cousin ! Hi cousin ! +It's really a small world , isn't it ! The Hammer family isn't very big . +It really is . Do you have time to eat dinner and catch up ? +I always make time for family . +I plan to buy a car this year . +How do you pay for it ? +I'm going to work in holidays and pay by installments . +Tell me if you need help . +It's very dark in here.Will you turn on the light ? +Okay.But our baby has fallen sleep . +Then , turn on the lamp , please . +But where's the switch ? +It's there by the window . +London is such a historic city ! There ’ s history everywhere you look . There ’ s nelson ’ s column , built as a monument to one of the Britain ’ s great admirals and his important victory . He won the battle of +I ’ m looking forward to seeing Westminster abbey , where many historic figures are buried , like Isaac Newton , the great mathematician and Winston Churchill , the great wartime leader . +Nearby , on the banks of the thames , there ’ s the statue of Boadicea . She fought the Romans when they invaded Britain . +Women have often played an important role in british history . Queen Elizabeth I built a navy strong enough to fight off the Spanish armada in 1588 . more recently , Margaret thatcher transformed british +She was a very controversial leader . Are we going to visit the famous tower of London later ? +There ’ s a lot to see there . Perhaps we should go tomorrow . +I ’ m looking forward to seeing the famous castle and prison . Many historic figures were imprisoned there in the past . I really want to see the crown jewels too . +I ’ Ve seen them before . They ’ re quite incredible . If you want to see historical figures in London , there ’ s one place you have to go . +Where ’ s that ? Oh , I know ! Madame Tussaud ’ s the waxworks museum . +There you can see british leaders , entertainers , criminals , and royalty . +Sometimes , it ’ s hard to know who belongs in each section of the museum ! +Where is my contract ? +It ’ s all my faults . I forget where I put it . +I hear Jean married a business tycoon . +That's true . Her husband is a fat cat . +But I don't think she really loves him . +She is only after his money . +If I were her , I wouldn't marry a man I don't really love . +But many girls nowaday do want to marry a man filthy with dough . +There's a concert in Capital Theatre this Sunday . +So what ? +Look , I have two tickets.Will you go with me ? +Wow , I like concerts . +Have you heard about Anlesen David ? +No , have they have another fight ? +No , they got engaged . +You must be joking.Those two . +Well , my dear . I didn't believe either.But got it straight form the horse's mouth.Davi called me this morning . +So when did this happen ? +Last weekend , while they were on the Sik trip . +Well , I believe it now , and when are they are getting marry ? +Next june . +I can hardly believe it . +Ted is so scared by dogs that he shakes in his shoes whenever he sees one . +The reason is that he once was bitten by a dog . +No wonder . +I think the government needs a radical plan to improve things . The government just talks , but in the long run , nothing is done to improve the economy . +That's right . They always talk about a need for new , progressive tactics , but they haven't done anything to stimulate new jobs . +Well , income taxes were decreased last year in hope to give the economy a boost , but I think it's backfired . The immediate effect of the tax reduction was to cause inflation to rise . +The worst part is that the inflation hurts the poor more than the rich . It also leads to more unemployment in the long run . I don't know what a good solution would be to make the economy more vibrant again ... +I have a good solution ... We need some new blood ! We should get rid of this president and boat in some new leaders ! +You have a nice apartment . +Thank you . My wife would be very happy to hear this . +She must have done a lot of work on it . +You bet . +I tried to ask the bank teller why it changed , but she didn't speak English well enough.So I decided to go to the magazine shop . The one around the corner.And I bought an American newspaper . +What happened ? +It seems that yesterday the Mexican government declared wouldn't pay back the loans it got from the World Bank.The government declared a default on the loans . +That's serious . +I know . The economy here is having serious problems.But because the government declared a default , the currency value went way down . +So now Mexican pesos are worth about half as much . +Yes , it's an amazing drop . +Wow . I feel sorry for the Mexicans . But it's good for us . +Yes , it's very good . We suddenly have twice as much money to spend here.Our hotel is now half as expensive as when we got here ! Isn't that strange ? +Yes , and you know what ? +What ? +I don't really like this hotel that much.So tonight , now that we are so rich , tonight why don't we stay in the most expensive hotel in town ? +Why not ? We should do it . Because now we can afford it . +You are starting to learn English ? +Yeah . I like it , Dad . +You ’ re lucky you start to learn it so easily . I learned English very late , and learned it all by myself . At that time we didn ’ t have a good English studying environment . I have to keep my dictionary on hand . +Really ? +I spend all my time looking after my baby . I'm so tired . +Why don't you ask your husband to help you with it ? +I've tried it , but he would have none of it . +I ’ m itching for moving ! +What ’ s the matter ? What annoy you ? +It ’ s so wet and dark , I ’ m just fed up . +I understand your feeling . When someone is feeling at loose ends , we may show mercy on him . This is what we call the " milk of human kindness " . +That's right . But feeling sorry for someone is one thing , and sticking to our principles is another . We must make a clear cut between them . +You've take the words out of my mouth . +I ’ m so excited about Chinese New Year ! When do I get to visit Grandma ? Grandma makes the best dumplings in the world ! +Ha ha , right . Sounds to me like you ’ re more excited about the dumplings than seeing your Grandma . +Of course I miss Grandma , too . I bet she ’ s gonna teach me how to play Mahjong ! Hey , Dad , are you going to buy me firecrackers this year ? We ’ re going to have the best fireworks ! I ’ m really looking forward to lighting them ! +Son , firecrackers aren ’ t toys.they ’ re dangerous ! +No , fireworks are awesome ! +Whoa , don ’ t you remember ? Last year when I set off the firecrackers , you covered both your ears and hid behind your mother ? +I was scared because ... because I saw a bug . That ’ s all . +Ahahah ... really ? +Oh , and I can ’ t wait to watch the dragon dance ! Dad , can I sit on your shoulders this time ? +Hey , I offered last year ... +Well , I ... anyways , I was just thinking of the red envelopes . I wanna make a list of all the things I ’ m gonna buy with my red envelope money ! I can ’ t wait ! I ’ m gonna have so much money ! Mom , can I get a pen and a piece of paper ? I want a new transformer , no , two transformers ... the Optimums Prime , and ... maybe the wheeljack ? I ’ ll get a PSP game , ahahah , and I ’ ll buy the entire class lunch at MacDonald ’ s ... +Hi , Tom . You forgot to put on your sports shoes ! It's Games Day today ! +Well , I have them in my bag . I'Il put them on right away ! +Let me give you a hand . You are carrying so many books . +Thanks ! +Have you forgotten the cheers ? +No , I haven't . I've tried hard to remember and I'm quite sure I've memorized the rhythm correctly . +That's good ! +What a brilliant smile ! +That's my cousin Hubert . He likes smiling . +He must be very easy-going . +Sure , he's ready to be friendly with anyone . +My goodness.She is thirty seconds faster than the world records in five thousand meters race . +Excuse me.What did you say ? +A chinese girl have broken the world record in the Olympic Games +That's incredible . I cann't believe it . +You have to . It's sure . +How amazing ! +What's the matter ? You don't look well . +I am worried . +What about ? +My exam . +Oh , is that all ? +I feel very nervous about it . +Don't worry about it . Try to look on the bright sight of things . +What do you think of the way people use and treat animals ? +I think most people treat animals well , but we are often cruel to animals . When we raise animals for food , the conditions they live in are often poor . +Perhaps people should stop eating animals . We could grow more crops . +What would you do with all the animals ? You couldn ’ t just let them go . Besides , some people would still hunt them . Meat has become an integral part of our diet . +We could provide them with better conditions anyway . We should certainly try to improve the conditions at zoos . We should try to recreate the natural conditions as much as possible . +That ’ s true . I think zoo are a good idea , because they allow people to get close to animals . I think it ’ s good for kids to see wild animals . +I agree . I ’ m an adult and I love going to the zoo . I don ’ t like animals experiments though . I believe that we can do tests in other ways . +I read that the number of animals being used in experiments is falling dramatically as new techniques are being introduced . +That ’ s good news . The good thing is that most people treat their pets well . +Sometimes you read about people who have been cruel to pets or other animals , but those stories are rare . +Have you every given money to any of the charities that take care of animals . +Yes , I have . They do an excellent job . +It's said you will go abroad to pursue your graduate studies . +Yes , I've been thinking about visiting you . I hope to get some advice from you . +Which country do you want to go to ? +My field is electronic engineering . Which country do you think I should go ? +Were I in your position , I ’ d go to America . +Which university should I apply to ? +There are many universities for you to choose from . Some famous universities such as Harvard , Yale , the University of Michigan , and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are really wonderful places to study , but they are very competitive and expensive . Some smaller universities or institutes are also very nice but much cheaper . +Oh , I see . Thank you very much . +How's it going ? +Great ! +So how long have you know Jack ? +We go way back.We ' Ve known each other since we were toddlers . +Really ? You guys must be really tight . +Yeah , We're buddy-buddy still . +He seems sincere , and trustworthy . +Well , he is , but he can be conniving at times . +What do you mean ? +Well , I know that he would never stab me in the back.But I've seen him double cross other people . +Oh , my ! Really ? I never thought he would be like that . +Don't get me wrong , I'm not saying he's like that all the time . +So , can I trust him or what ? +Well , I think you should decide for yourself . +But I need someone that I can count on for this job . +Okay , Okay.You can trust him . I was just trying to give you a hard time . +Come on you're confusing me.Give it to me straight . +Actually , he's the most dependable person I know , and he would never turn on anyone . +Are you free this Saturday evening ? +Oh , it seems there is nothing that evening . +Would you like to go to the concert with me ? +I'd like to , where ? +At our club . +When ? +At 7:30 p . m . +I'll go in time , thank you . +I'm so pleased that you can go . +Can I help you ? +Yes . I'd like to borrow these books . +Just a second . I'll see if I can find them for you . +Thanks . +Here you are . You must return them within a month . +What happens if I'm not finished with them in a month ? +You can come in and renew them unless someone else has reserved them . +OK . Thank you very much for your trouble . +No trouble at all . So long . +You look tired . +Yeah , I've been working so much overtime lately . +Really ? How come ? +My boss gave me a big project . I had to have it finished by this morning . It was so difficult . +You shouldn't work so hard . +I know , but hard work pays off . You know . +What do you mean ? +Maybe now I'll get that promotion I was hoping for . +How do you like Korea ? +I like it . It's a beautiful country . +What part of the visit excited you most ? +The best island of Korea-Jizhou island . +Why ? +Attractive scenery , pleasant climate , these make it charming . +Yes , I think so . But there is also something terrible . +What do you mean ? +Sometimes the traffic is too busy . +Yes , you are right . +How should I dress for the party ? +Dress casually . +I love her so much , you know . I want to be alone . Please keep quiet . +I am just casting pearls before swine . +Are you saying you saw an eagle ? There are no eagles here . +Yes , I saw one . Believe me . +You must have seen some other kind of bird . +I haven't met the Smiths for a long time . +They have moved to Chicago . +Why ? +Mr.Smith has changed his job . +Did you go camping last Saturday ? +We went to the coast . It's really a nice place for camping , really good time around the fire singing and dancing . +How many members were in your party in all ? +There were six of us . +Did you get caught in the bad storm ? +Yes , we got wet through . But we still enjoyed ourselves . +Thanks for the advice , Mr . Macmillan . I'll keep it in mind . I had better head off though . I ’ m meeting my husband for dinner . +Sure , I'm heading out myself . Enjoy your evening . +Thanks , sir . You too . Drive safely , I hear there ’ s a lot ice on the roads . +Thanks for the warning ! See you tomorrow ! +Tomorrow I'll take you to some places that I'm sure you will have interest in . +Where else haven't we been to yet ? +They are the Folk Antique Handicrafts and Collectibles Exhibition Halls . +Sounds great ! How many kinds of folk collections do they have ? +Well . there're actually over 200 kinds of folk collections in this city . That's half the collections of antique objects in China . There's one exhibition half for multiple collection , and several individual display rooms for private collectors . +Private collectors ! They must have excellent collections . I'II go and see each of them . What kinds of collections can I see ? Come on , don't keep me in suspense ! +No hurry ! I'II tell you now , The collections include ancient cases and caskets , tea sets , abacuses , precious sea shells and conches , drama costumes , agates , ancient coins , fans , mini-musical instruments , root-carving , rare stones and rocks , model ships , model cars ... +Enough ! I can't wait anymore . +The show will be starting in a few minutes . We'd better go in and find our seats . +Number 7 and 9 of the Row 11 in the stalls , aren't they ? +That's right . This entrance is for even numbers . That entrance over there is for odd numbers . Let's go over there . +What a nice theatre ! I guess it can seat hundreds of people . +Maybe you are right . +Look . It's begin . +Well , how did you like the show ? +It's so interesting , I like it very much . +Now , you are to board the plane.We ' re sorry that we haven't done much to help you when you stayed in China . +I appreciate what you have done for me.Everything I have seen here has left a deep impression on me . I really don't know how to express my thanks to you . +We are ready to help you . +Will you be kind to say " Thank you " to Mr.Zhang and other friends for me ? +I'd like to . I'm sure your visit will help to promote the friendship and understanding between both of us.Welcome to China again . +Of course , I will.Well , it's time for me to say goodbye.The plane will take off soon.Hope some day you will come to America for a visit . +Thank you . I will if I have chance.Goodbye and happy landing ! +Goodbye ! +Is the lake very polluted ? +Well , I wouldn't swim in it - but the water is much cleaner than it was a few years ago . +Are local factories allowed to discharge waste water into the lake ? +Yes , but it must be treated in an effluent treatment plant first . +Isn ’ t this great ? I always wanted to own a farm , live out in the country , grow my own food ! +This is very beautiful . Though I have to confess , I don ’ t know the first thing about farming ! +That ’ s fine ! Don ’ t worry about it ! +What was that ? +Relax , it was just a goat ! +And that ? +It ’ s just the cows that are grazing over there . We can milk them later . +What was that ? +Honey , seriously , It ’ s just a sheep . Relax ! Relax , that was just the horses and donkeys that are in the stable . +You know what ? I don ’ t think I can hack it here out in the countryside . I ’ m going back to the city ! +Well , thank you.Mr.Parry , for all your information.Just one more question . +Yes , sir ? +Do you play any sports or games ? +I used to play football regularly when I was at university.And I used to do athletics in the summer . +And what athletics did you play ? Can you remember ? +I was a runner_a long-distance runner . +And now ? +No . I'm afraid I haven't had time since I got married . +Well , thank you again for coming to see us.But just remember that we like people who join the company to play in the company sports teams . +Certainly , sir . +Hey , that's a really nice outfit you have on . +Thank you . I wasn't sure if it looked okay or not . +Oh , you look stunning . Your dress really goes well with your shoes . +I'm glad that you think so . I thought it might be a bit too revealing . +No , not at all . It looks really classy on you . Where did you pick that up ? +I got it on sale down at the department store . +When did you go there ? +I was just there a couple of days ago . You know , you should go down there too . They have a lot of stylish clothes on sale . +I might just do that . What style of clothes do they have ? +Anything you want . They have both casual and formal styles . +I was hoping to get a few new ties for my collection . +That's a good idea . +The poor girl is up to the eyes in study all the day . +Yeah , she has a lot of homework . +Today's children have not the chance to play , to make fun of them . +Right . So in some way we are happier . +Yeah , at least when we are children , we have not so much homework to do . +Could you just hold this for me ? +What are you doing ? Is anything wrong ? +Yes , but I've nearly fixed it . Just take it , will you ? +Oh , yes , of course . I'm sorry-I wasn't thinking ... +Sometimes I think television is too biased . None of them are completely objective . +That's unavoidable , but think , How would you keep up to date without television ? +Newspapers or the radio I guess . I just wish TV was more objective . +Look , you can still learn a lot from watching television , you just need to be smart when you're watching . Filter the information and decide if you believe what you are hearing or not . +The internet's a lot worse . +Really ? Why ? +There's no one moderating it . Anyone around the world can put information onto the net for anyone else to see . The information on the internet is mostly unsubstantiated and you can never know who has written it , or why . A lot of people get conned online . +Again , you need to think carefully . If you don't trust others online , have nothing to do with them . +I went to the doctor yesterday . +I beg your pardon ? +I said I had been to the doctor the day before . +What did he say ? +He said I ' d got the flu . +Oh dear ! What did he tell you to do ? +He told me to stay in bed for ten days . +Ten days ? Would you please repeat it again ? +Yes , ten days . +How nice it is here . +You can say that again.The sun is shining and there is a pleasant breeze.It ' s so lovely . +I've heard the weather here is ideal , just like spring most of the year . +That's correct . We have four seasons of spring . +What did you think of the teambuiding session this morning ? Do you think it did much good ? +Well , a lot of the games were pretty silly . I don't know how much it helped us to be a better team , but i think everyone had a good time . +I think that's an important part of it all ... we've got to be able to see another side of our co-workers and boss ... We can see what they're like as real human beings , working together on some project , for fun . I really think it helped our team jell together better . +Yeah , I guess you're right . I think the trust game was my favorite . I think in order to have a strong team , we've all got to learn how to trust each other more . +The trust game was your favorite , huh ? My favorite part was the personality tests . I think to know more about what kind of personality type you are will tell you a lot about how you can fit into a team.Also , when you know the personality strengths of your colleagues , it helps you understand them better . +Beautiful weather , isn ’ t it ? +Yes , it is . Are you here on business ? +No , I ’ m on a vacation to see the famous Three Gorges . +I ’ m going there for a tour , too . Is this your first trip to China ? +Yes , it is . +Why don ’ t we go together ? I can show you around . I think you ’ ll have a better time . +I couldn ’ t agree more . +Great , let ’ s go ! +Tiffany , why are more and more people turning to the Web to find a mate ? +I think that , as more people use the Internet for both work and pleasure , it makes more sense as a tool to connect with people , and the stigma of meeting someone online is reduced . +There are actually special sites for people looking to date within their specific ethnic group and age group . But how should you screen potential mates ? Do you suggest talking to them on the phone right away or communicating via e-mail ? +I would say do not make the e-mail exchange too long . A lot of times a connection via e-mail creates almost a false sense of intimacy . Quickly make sure there is a connection in the physical world . +Can you give us any other safety tips for people pursuing relationships on the Net ? +I'd suggest you not give out too much personal information , like your home address , until after several dates . Just keep up the same guards you would keep up if you were meeting any stranger . +Besides the growth of these matchmaker sites , do you have any stats on success rates ? Are people out there finding true and lasting love through the Internet +Well , for a site like ecrush.com , since their debut in Valentine's Day in 1999 , of the 1.5 million people who have joined ecrush.com , 300000 have actually matched . +Do you have any successful stories to share ? +Yes , the couple that I highlighted at today's show met on Match.com and they're getting married this summer . +Isabelle , you know I'm not interested in fame . +Well , you don't seem to be interested in getting a real job , either . +You know I'm interested in teaching . I'm looking for jazz students ... +Yeah , and every high school student in town is banging on your door , right ? +I know they're out there . I'll find them . +You're such a dreamer ! You think that you can spread the word of jazz in an underpass ? +I think your speech was excellent . +Was it ? +Sure it was . +Thank you.It was really a challenge to speak before such a large audience , you know . +But you did it and did it well ! +Smith is always careless , it is his Achilles ’ s heel . +He would get very angry if anyone criticized him . +He will burn his fingers . +If only he knew it . +Here's some dancing . See those guys stomping , clapping and shouting ? They're practicing step-dancing . +It sounds cool . The rhythms look really difficult . +They basically turn their bodies into drums . There's a national step competition every year . +Well , black people are supposed to be great dancers . +Wen ! That's only a stereotype . Like all Asians are supposed to be math geniuses . I'm not a great dancer , and you said you failed calculus . +Ha-ha ! You got me there ! +This is the end , Jane . I don't want a girlfriend who goes out with other guys all the time . +I won't do it again . Please forgive me . +No way . I've given you too many chances already . +What's the bonus like at your company ? +Well , it's OK , I suppose . We get about the equivalent of six months ' salary . +Six months ' salary ? Are you serious ? That's incredible ! +Maybe . But you'd be amazed at how little's left after the credit companies have deducted their share from my account . +Hey , I know what that's like . I bought a BMW on my Visa card . Now the payments really hurt . +Well , you're lucky that you're still able to make your payments . I missed a credit payment last month . Now my bank account's overdrawn , and the company is threatening to take back my purchases . +What did you buy ? +A new home health monitor . +Health Monitor ? I read an article about that racket.They ' re overpriced to begin with ! Listen , if I were you , I'd let them take back their monitor and spend my money on something more practical . +You're kidding ! +No joke ! +That's something else ! Maybe I'll return it to them . +OK , Ann , you spent quite a bit of time in Australia recently so why don't you talk about that ? +I really liked living in Australia . I was an international student and I studied education at the university of Sydney . And living in Sydney was fantasticbecuase I could go to the beach anytime I wanted and there was a great nightlife in Sydney . There are lots of great clubs . And people were very , very friendly and easy-going and I met a lot of international people in living Sydney . +Mm-hm . How long were you there ? +I was there for almost a year . +Oh , OK . +And I travelled a little bit in Australia . I went up the east coast . Up to Frasier Island . Which is a world heritage site . And I saw dingo running along the beach and sharks in the water . We climbed cliffs and went through a rain forest and went camping and then we went up to the ... , which is a but north . And the further north you go in Australia , the hotter it gets . So we were able to go swimming in the ocean and I went diving for the first time but it was a little bit risky cause I didn't have a diving license , so I went on an introductory dive and I saw a giant clam that had a really purple spongy inside that I was able to touch and then the clam closed up really quickly . +So , did you , did you lose your finger ? +Almost . +Almost . Ah , you're lucky . Um , it's funny , you go in the water and you worry about sharks , but not clams . +Exactly . +Will you be going back to Australia soon ? +I'd like to go and live there for at least another year . Probably I'll go back to Sydney or maybe I'll go down to Melbourne because it's a really interesting cultural city . They have lot of museums and parks . +Tom did me many favors . +For example ? +I have just had my new paper published . +You have done excellent work . +I'm going to Britain . +Really ? How did you get the chance ? +I have been accepted by Oxford University on PhD . +My warmest congratulations on your entering the Oxford University . +I really appreciate your kind words . +Happy birthday ! This is for you , Kate . +Thanks , Miss . Wang . +You know in China we usually don't open presents until the guests leave . +Really ? I've already opened it . Great ! And it is exactly after my fancy . Thank you very much . +Guess who I saw yesterday ? +I don't know . Who ? +Avril Lavigen ! +The Canadian rock singer ? But I heard you had a part-time job yesterday . How did you see her ? +Yeah , I worked as temporary staff in her concert . Look , her poster , a CD ... +So you're a big fan , eh ? +Not really . But I like some of her songs . She's actually very talented . She's a song writer and fashion designer , too . +And she was in a movie once again , right ? +Yeah , though I don't think her acting skills are that great . +What was your impression of her when you saw her in person ? +She looked sweeter than her pictures . +Did you take a photo with her ? +No , there were too many people . When she got out of the car , her fans were all screaming , trying to give her flowers and to get her autographs . +Crazy ! +I have to go home now , Jenny . Thanks for inviting me to your party . +I'm glad you came . I hope you enjoyed it . +I had a wonderful time . +I was wondering how you are going to calculate our final grades . +Grades are based on many things +What counts the most ? +Actually I look at all of it and let's not forget class participation . +Do you grade on a curve or use percentages ? +Homework , attendance , and quizzes are sixty percent ; the mid-term and final are worth twenty percent each . +What if we miss something ? +I will allow one unexcused absence ; after that you need to contact me ahead of time . +Will you tell us if we are failing during the year ? +You will be able to track your progress during the year . +Okay , show me your card hand . Here's mine . I have three Kings and a pair of Aces . +How did you get that ? No need to show you my hand , I lose.This is not as much fun as the music concert we just saw . +Thanks again for buying the tickets . That was the most exciting live concert I've ever seen . That silver electric guitar was really cool . +They're quite popular now . Wasn't her voice good ? +That , My Heart Will Go On . It warms my heart . you know , JanetJackson , Shanna Twain and Celine Dion are so very different . +Janet Jackson is more pop music.Shania sings country music . Celine just seems to hit all the right notes . +Have you heard Maria Carey ? +Yes , l have two of her Cds , l'II lend them to you if you like . +Excellent . You can borrow my Janet Jackson's CD . It's her new one . +I hope you have a good stereo . +Why ? +Because you have to hear it really loud to get the full concert effect . +Sarah . You look terrible . What's wrong ? +My grandmother just passed away . +I'm so sorry to hear that . When did this happen ? +A couple of days ago . I just go back from the funeral . +Is there anything I can do ? +No ... not really . The sad thing is that I wasn't there when she died . I really wanted to be there one last time . +I'm sure she knew you loved her . Did she pass away in the hospital ? +Yeah . She died in her sleep . +I'm sorry she's gone . +At least she didn't suffer . +I think your grandmother would want you to think of all the good times you spent together . +I know . But I miss her . +When my grandmother passed away , I frequently visited her in the cemetery . I always talked to her . Even though she wasn't there , I somehow knew she heard what I said . +Yeah ? That's what I was thinking too . Thanks . +It looks like you haven't eaten anything all day . We should get you something to eat . +You're right ... I should eat something . Let's go . +It will do you good to go out for entertainment at weekends.What kind of movie do you like best ? +It's hard to say , I like interesting and significant ones . I don't care whether they're blockbusters or not . +Shall we go downtown for a movie this Friday evening ? +Very good , What's on ? +I'm not sure . Let me give a call to find out . +Let's go eat . +0kay . Dinner's on me . +I can't seem to progress up the career ladder no matter how hard I try and I have been here for 2 years already ! +Well , have you thought of getting an MBA ? I heard it does wonders in getting you to the top . +An MBA , hey . . . well my degree wasn't in business , the business schools won't be interested in me . +Nonsense ! The business schools measure your ability through a test called GMAT . +GMAT ? What does that stand for and what will the test contain ? +Graduate Management Admission Test , it contains three parts +Okay , this sounds a little tough , how am I supposed to practice for this ? +Up to you , you could have a one on one session with a tutor or group sessions , you can also use free or private computer software . Going to church might help as well ! +No matter what I do , I'm going to ace this test and go on to become a corporate fat cat ! +Umm . . . That's the spirit ! +hello , Kate ! How are you doing ? +fine , thanks . How are you ? +fine . How are your term papers ? +oh , my lord . I haven't really started them . +how could it be ? They are due two weeks later . +I know but I was busy with my part-time job the last few days . +Kate , you know , I am thinking of getting a part-time job next year because I really need more money and I don't want to ask my parents for any more . But I'm so busy ! How am I going to work and study +to be honest with you , Jason , I don't think I'm doing a very good job of balancing my schoolwork with my job . I'm always two steps behind . I've got to get back to the dorm and continue writing tha +my advisor ? +This is the good life ! We have it good don ’ t you think ? +Yeah of course ! Although , don ’ t you ever wonder what could have been ? +What do you mean ? +Well , sometimes I think of how things could have turned out if I had done things a little differently . +For example ? +Like for example , if I hadn ’ t studied architecture , I would have become an artist like I wanted to . +I see . Yeah now that I think of it , I wouldn ’ t have gotten married if I hadn ’ t moved to this town and met Sally . +You see ! Everything happens for a reason ! We wouldn ’ t even have met if I hadn ’ t been in that car accident ten years ago ! +Well , I have no regrets ! +I ’ ll drink to that ! +Would you like to go to the movies tonight ? +Well , I just saw a horror movie last night . It almost frightened me to death . +Well , we could see something different like a detective film . +I don't care for a detective film . It also makes me nervous . +How about a comedy ? +No , I don't think comedies today are natural or cheerful . +How about a love story then ? +No , romance is boring . +What's you opinion ? +Let's go to see a war movie , shall we ? +Really ? +Certainly . Is there anything wrong ? +No , but I can't imagine that a girl like you would wonder to see a war movie . +Hi . Bob ! We've been working hard at our lessons for a fortnight . So why don't we take it easy this weekend ? +Okay ! What do you suggest ? +How about seeing a play ? I hear Hamlet is on at the National Theater . +Is that so ? Why not ? +( looking at a newspaper ) Oh , dear me ! There's no performance at the National theater this weekend . So we have to go to cinema instead . +What's on ? +Let me see .. um . Gone With the Wind . It is on at six cinemas on Saturday night . +That sounds interesting . Which is the nearest ? +Ah . The Royal , I think . +What time does it start ? +Why don't we go to the 7:30 show ? It is convenient to us , I think . +But we won't have enough time for dinner . +Do you want to go to the earlier or the later show ? +Ah ... I fancy going to the later show . +Then , there's a 9:30 show . +That's Okay , I think . +All right . +Her ex-boyfriend was terrible , but this new one is even worse ! +Out of the frying pan and into the fire . +The man behind your mother must be your elder brother . +Yes , he was 29 then . +He looked his age . +Well , I've got to go . See you later . +See you . Have a nice day ! +Thanks , you too . +What did you say ? +Are you deaf or what ? +Who's your favorite singer ? +Coco Lee . +Hey , Ann . You don't have a pen , do you ? +Sure , here you go . +Thanks . I don't suppose you have some paper , too . +Of course . There you are . +Thanks so much . I owe you one . +Are you ready , honey ? +Sorry , not yet ! can you help me to select the dress ? i don , t what i should wear to fit thinner party . +Just dress formal . +How about transom ? +It is too loud , we ’ ll handle some official business first before the dinner . +Oh , i nearly forget it . +You can put on your white shoes , it fits every occasion . +What's the matter with you , then ? You look miserable . +It's us . +What do you mean by us ? +Well , we used to talk to each other before we were married.Remember ? +What do you mean ? We're talking now , aren't we ? +Oh , yes , but we used to do so much together . +Yes . I remember.But we never used to argue.You used to think I was wonderful.Where are you going ? +Back to live with my parents.That ' s something else I used to do before we were married.Remember ? +I think it is time to study . Our chemistry exam is coming . +Oh , I know . When is it ? +December 1st . +What's on the test ? +It seems to be from chapter six to chapter ten . +Well . I think I'm going to fail my chemistry exam . +Why are you so pessimistic ? +I'm not being pessimistic . I'm being realistic . My chemistry is so bad . +I believe you can pass the exam with good preparation . Don't lose your heart . +Thank you . That's very nice of you . +Are you new here ? +Yes , I am . +Is this your first year in college ? +I actually transferred here from another school . +Which school ? +I transferred from PCC . +How do you like it here compared to PCC ? +I love it here . +Do you like it better here or at PCC ? +Don ’ t get me wrong . I like it here , but PCC is better . +So , why did you leave PCC ? +Because I got my AA and now I am going towards my bachelor degree . +I don't know what I can do now . I'm down and out . +You are not the gray train , I guess . But bite the bullet and you'll soon be in the chips again . +I hope so . But I'm always caught short . +But the darkest hour is the nearest dawn . I bet you'll soon turn the table . +I was just about to go to bed when the telephone rang last night . +Who was it ? +Kate . She said she was too excited to go to sleep . +She never cares about others . +It ’ s true . Guess what we were talking about last night . +Her new boyfriend , right ? +Yeah , how do you know about that ? +I was also interrupted by her last week because of such a thing . +if you can choose , will you marry a foreigner or a Chinese ? +why ? Did tom pop the question ? +not yet . But I wonder if I can get my parents ’ consent . +let me guess , your parents want you to marry a Chinese man , right ? +you are right . It is giving me a real headache . I feel like I ’ m between a rock and a hard place . +I used to have the same problem when I was with my ex . +oh , how did you deal with it ? +I just let it go and continued dating with my Korean boyfriend . But finally we broke up . +oh , it ’ s a pity . What was the matter ? +simple . We had personality clashes and there were too many cultural differences . +like what ? +he hoped to live in the Korean way and asked me to give up working and stay at home to take care of the family . +Oh , I see . In their culture women should put family first . +yes , he said it would be batter for me and for the whole family . But I simply can not quit working . +so that's why it ’ s hard to have a happy marriage with a foreigner . +not really . There are many successful mixed marriage around us . +I don't know how to adjust my life . Would you give me a piece of advice ? +You look a bit pale , don't you ? +Yes , I can't sleep well every night . +You should get plenty of sleep . +I drink a lot of wine . +If I were you , I wouldn't drink too much . +I often feel so tired . +You better do some exercise every morning . +I sometimes find the shadow of death in front of me . +Why do you worry about your future ? You're very young , and you'll make great contribution to the world . I hope you take my advice . +Hi Joe . You met my new assistant , right ? +Emm ... yes . But I wasn't too impressed . I found her a little stuck up . +You are kidding , but she's so helpful . +Tom ... you are her boss , you kown.Of course , she's helpful to you . +Come on . She's like that with everyone . +I don't think so actually . She never even says " hello " to me . +Hey , you , pick up that piece of garbage ! +Huh ? Me ? +Yeah , you . I just saw you throw a piece of garbage on the ground . Can't you read the No Littering sign ? It's a $ 500 penalty for littering , so go pick it up and put it in the garbage can over there . +Why should I do that ? It's only a piece of garbage . Why should you care ? +Because this is a public place , and I want to spend my time here without having to look at your garbage . +Listen , I really don't know why you're making this into such a big issue . It's only a small piece of garbage in a large space . It's not like there's garbage everywhere . Besides , someone will come along to clean it up at some time or another . +It's not the cleaner's responsibility to pick up after lazy people . It's part of your responsibility to make sure that the place is neat for other people . If everyone thought like you , there'd be garbage everywhere ! The cleaners can't be everywhere ! +Ok , whatever . See , I'm putting it in the garbage can . +Hold on , that's an item . You should put that in the recycle bin next to the trashcan . +What are you doing this weekend ? +I don't have any plans . +If ever you ’ re in Chicago , please do look me up . +Well , yes , I ’ d like to , if it ’ s not too much trouble . +No trouble at all . I think maybe you will meet some of my friends here as well . +That ’ d be fine . +How do you feel about wearing name logos or slogans on your clothing ? +I've never really thought about it before . I guess it doesn't bother me . +Do you think advertising has an influence on the choices you make when you're shopping ? +I guess so . I usually buy name-brand clothing , shoes , and electronic goods . How about you ? +I actually try to avoid name-brand items . I can't stand it when big companies advertise their products all over the place ! +I know that advertisers are experts at persuading people to spend their money , I think brilliant items are usually higher quality than ~ grounds . +I think is sensible to buy products that is high quality than others when you want to buy something that's going to last a long time , but I don't think it always makes sense . +Do you have a brand preference for anything ? +I do for shower items like shower gel and shampoo , but I don't for higher-end items . +What do you think about the " impossible is nothing " billboard on the high street ? +It's just a slogan for a famous company ; there's nothing really special about it . +I think it's a brilliant advert ! It really grabs my attention ! +To each their own ! +Did you see the fashion awards last night ? +I sat through about half of it but they lost me after that . +Not interested ? +Not really , to be honest . Some of what they call fashion looks terrible to me . +But they are showing what will be all the rage next year . +All the rage with whom ? I never see anyone wearing these designs on the street . +Did you know that fashion is cyclical ? +What , it keeps coming back ? +Precisely ! For example , Flares were popular for a while , then went out of fashion . Now we can start to see them coming back in again . +Flares ? +They're also known as bell-bottoms . They are a type of trousers . +It's too complicated . I'll just stick to the plain clothes . +That's fine , but then you'll always look plain . +Our national economy is increasing hand over fist . +That ’ s really a good phenomenon to see . +I hope it ’ ll continue for a long time . +Betty was in hospital . +I know that . I met her last week , and she looked as pale as death . +She suffers from cancer . +That ’ s too bad . She ’ s been so kind to us all . +Do you have any plan on your mind ? +I want to see all places of renown in Suzhou . +How are we going there , by bike or by bus ? +By bike , of course.You don't want to miss the beautiful scenery , do you ? +Maybe we all will be all things to all men . +How terrible ! +But for the life , we'll be changed by this society . +I really don't want to go into the world , I feel afraid of it . +Don't be silly . We have reached the age to take the responsibility by ourselves . +I know . +You're late . +I know I'm late . I'm sorry . I tried to call you to tell you , but your phone seems to be disconnected . +My phone ? +Yes . An automatic message says your phone is not in service . +Really ? I had no idea . Let me check.Yes , it's dead . There's no dial tone . +So I couldn't get through . I knew I'd be late because my car wouldn't start.It was too cold I had to warm it up in the garage with a heater . That's why I'm late . +But this is terrible . I'm expecting important calls . +About what ? +You know what.The theater guild is supposed to call me and discuss a contract for my play.They are supposed to call me this evening.If I don't have a phone . Oh , what can I do ? +Well , the only thing you can do is tell the phone company and hope they fix it fast . +Do you have a cell phone ? +No . I hate cell phones.But you could go to a neighbor's house and use their phone . +Can you drive me ? I will go to Ann's house . It isn't far . I can call the theater guild from there and give them her number.She will let us wait in her living room . +Yes , of course I can drive you.So you don't want to get your phone fixed right away ? +Yes , I do.At Ann's house I will call the phone company and have them check my line.If they can fix it right away without coming to my house , then we'll just return here.But if not , I need to wait at Ann's house to talk with the theater guild.It ' s very important to me . +Alright , let's go . +Yes , let's go . +Would you like to go to a concert tonight ? +I'd like to very much . +All right , then.There is one at the new concert hall . +Who's playing ? +It's the Powell orchestra . +Do you know what they are playing ? +They're doing a seventeenth-century program . +And who is directing ? +Well , I'm not sure of his name , but I know it's going to be his farewell performance . +I am unsure how to add a class and need help . +I have an opening . Do you have an add sheet for me to sign ? +Yes , I have an add sheet . +After I sign it , you must take it to the Admissions and Records Office to add the class . Do you know where that is ? +No , I'm not sure . +When you cross the quad , the office is right in front of you . Go inside and follow the signs to the correct line . +Thanks . I understand what to do now . +It should be easy to find . After you add the class , check with me in a few weeks to make sure that you are on my roll sheet . +That sounds good . +Good , just make sure that you do the same thing if you ever need to drop a class . Good luck ! +I found out when Jim's birthday is . It's this Friday . +Let's plan a surprise party for him ! +Can you spread the word and ask everyone to bring some kind of snack food ? +That's easy . Anything else ? +Will you call his wife and let her know so that if she is available , she can come too ? +Won't he be surprised ! +I don't know how old he is though . +That's O . K . Maybe his wife will spill the beans ! +In spring , people are feeling refreshed . They take off their heavy winter clothes and walk with a straight back and light steps . They feel they are full of spirits and energy . +Women in particular . They are anxious to get rid of those thick and clumsy winter suits and put on their new fashionable spring dress . +Well , when summer comes , the weather is hot and the leaves turn darkgreen ; the sun is blazing and the air is threatening . No one would like to stay in the open air for long . +That's true . In summer , the first place people want to go is a spacious room with air-conditioning or a quiet river or swimming pool . +I myself like very much to listen to the singing of some of the insects , especially the singing of cicadas . +In autumn , almost all fruits are ripe and all crops are waiting to be harvested . +And you can hear singing and laughing everywhere ! People are happy in autumn because autumn brings them harvest and richness and prosperity ! +Well , winter is a season for relaxation , do you agree with me ? +Well , it's hard to say . For the fields and rivers , winter is a relaxing season , but for farmers , I think they might take a rest physically , but mentally they are still busy thinking , planning and calculating for the working of the next year . +Maybe you are right . +Hey Sarah , are you all right ? You look upset . +As a matter of fact , I am a bit upset . I just came out of a meeting and it didn't go very well . +What happened ? +No one would listen to any of my suggestions . Instead , they just kept arguing with each other . +Who was chairing the meeting ? +Bob . +Well , I can tell you from experience that Bob might come off a little strong sometimes . +That's exactly what happened ! He kept interrupting everyone with his own suggestions and did not want to hear what others had to say . Then he expected everyone to agree with him . +What was the meeting about ? +We were trying to come up with ideas to streamline the office's workflow to make it more efficient . +It's ironic that the meeting was anything but efficient . +Exactly . I had tons of ideas that I wanted to share , but they just wouldn't let me finish . What should I have done to get my point across ? +You have to keep things short and sweet . When you get a chance to speak , try not to get into too many unnecessary details . +Short and sweet ? But what if I have to explain something complicated ? +You can always bring up the main points during the meeting and speak to those who are directly involved after the meeting . Not everyone needs to know all that information . +That's a good idea , I think I will try that at the next meeting . +Let's go to the cinema tonight , shall we ? +Good idea . Is there a good movie on ? +What about ' Farewell My Concubine ' ? I've been wanting to see it for a long time . +All right . But it'll be difficult to buy tickets I suppose . +My brother has offered me two tickets for this evening . +What time does it begin ? +At eight thirty . +I'll come for you at about eight . +OK , I'll be waiting . +I ’ d love to have my own farm . +It would be very hard work . Are you sure ? +I wouldn ’ t mind getting up early morning and the physical work would make me fit and healthy . +Running a farm would be totally different to you current job . +That ’ s one reason I ’ d like to try it . I ’ d really like to get away from working 9 to 5 in an office . +You ’ d need a lot of training before becoming a farmer . It ’ s not something you can just walk into . +My uncle owns a farm and I ’ Ve spent some time working with him . I love being in the countryside with farm animals and green fields . +Well , I ‘ d certainly come and visit you . It would be great to take a working holiday on a farm . I ’ d love to get away from hustle and bustle of the city for a while . +Good afternoon , everyone . The experiment is to start at 3 . Have you gone through the instructions ? +Yes , sir . +Ok , now some points for attention . First of all , pay attention to safety ... Now , sign your names on the lab record , and after that you can start . If there is any question , just let me know . +Excuse me , sir . This air compressor doesn't work . +Have you turned it on ? +Yes , I have . +Ok , I will get you another one . +Thank you . +Guess what ? Paul and Susan are engaged . +Really ? When did that happen ? +A week ago ? They met last summer and now just sink . They will be married soon . +Have they set a date for the wedding ? +No , not yet . But Susan says they ’ d like to get married in November or December . Then they ’ ll go to Hawaii for their honeymoon . +Oh man ! I ’ Ve been starving myself for days now and I haven ’ t lost an ounce ! +Are you trying to lose weight ? +Yeah , my friend is getting married next month and I ’ m supposed to be a bridesmaid . I have to fit into my dress and look nice for her wedding , but I haven ’ t lost any weight ! Look at these love handles . +You don ’ t have to starve yourself to lose weight . I think that ’ s where you ’ re going wrong . +Why ? If I eat less , then my body will start eating away at my fat reserves , right ? +Not really . You should try to not eat foods high in calories , salts or saturated fats . Stay away from oily food and artificial flavors . +So you are saying that I should eat , but I should just watch what I eat ? +Yes ! You can also try to reduce your intake of carbohydrates and foods that are high in cholesterol . You can have steamed veggies or increase your protein intake found in chicken or fish . +If I do all this do you think I can lose twenty pounds in four weeks ? +Don ’ t count on it . +Do you know that song ? +Which song ? +The song you hear now . +No , I've never heard of this song before . It's beautiful ! Who sing it ? +Elvis Presley . Don't you recognize his voice ? +No . How about going to karaoke tonight ? +Good idea . +How are you ? +Fine . +I haven ’ t seen you for several days . +Oh , I have been with my uncle for a week . +What ’ s he doing ? +He is an accountant . I have been helping him for a week . +He must be happy . +Yeah . How are you these days ? +Fine too . +What did you do this weekend , Kate ? +Oh , Diane and I went for a drive in the country on Saturday . +That sounds nice . Where did you go ? +We drove to the lake and had a picnic . We had a great time ! How about you ? Did you do anything special ? +Not really . I just worked on my car all day . +That old thing ! Why don't you just buy a new one ? +But then what would I do every weekend ? +I ’ d better be going . +So soon . Why don ’ t you stay a little longer ? +I wish I could , but It ’ s already late . +Oh . It ’ s pity you have to leave . +thank you for wonderful meat . +I'm glad you enjoy it . +Did you remember to bring back that software I lent to you ? +Oh , I ’ m sorry . It completely slipped my mind . +That ’ s ok . If you could just bring it in tomorrow , I would appreciate it . +Definitely , I ’ m really sorry . +Well , known , Jim , I'm ... I'm pretty much in favour of computers , I think computers teach kids to think , because they require logical thought . +But I ... I don't agree with that , because computers weaken kids ' ability to think , because kids don't learn basic skills . +What do you mean ? +They can't spell , they can't add , they can't subtract , they even don't remember any more.that ' s because they rely on gadgets . +That's not the gadgets.Creating programmes is stimulate thoughts . +All right . But these are black and I don ’ t like black shoes . They ’ re dull . +Well , black is a better color than pink . Pink ’ s for girls . +Then why are you wearing black shoes ? +Because ... oh , all right . You win . Let ’ s pay for them and go . +Hey , thanks , mum . +Hey , Mike . Can I ask you something ? +Sure , what's up ? +I'm going to gamble on the world cup tonight . Who do you think will win ? +Good question . I have to think about it . +My husband is betting on France . +France ? Is he crazy ? +What do you mean ? +Well , how do I put this ? France is a terrible team . +How do you do . I ’ m Mark Rancor . +Nice to meet you . +May I know your name , please ? +I ’ m Rose Teller . I think I ’ Ve seen you somewhere before ? +Ah , yes . I remember now . Were you Mr . John ’ s dinner partner last month ? +Yes , I was . You work for 3M , right ? +I did but now I ’ m for Microsoft . How are things with you ? +Good . +May I know what you do ? +I ’ m a fashion designer . Next month , I have a fashion show . I ’ d love it if come . I can get you a couple of tickets . So you can bring a friend if you like . +Sure . That would be great . Good luck . +Thank you . +What's the name of the series just showed ? +Doctor Butcher . +What a horrible name ! Is it full of suspense ? +No , not at all.it ' s about how to keep fit . +What ’ s “ pi ” ? +That ’ s the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter , I think . +I see . What is that ratio exactly ? +It ’ s approximately 3.14 , but the number continues forever . What ’ s the diameter of your circle ? +It ’ s 10 centimeters , so the circumference should be 31.4 centimeters . +Ok . My next problem is to convert 10000 british pounds into us dollars . What ’ s the exchange rate at the moment ? +According to the newspaper , the exchange rate is 1.85 dollars to the pound . +That means that 10.000 pounds will buy me 18.500 dollars . +What ’ s the next question . +Fractions . What ’ s a quarter and an eighth ? That ’ s three-eights . Easy . The next question is “ what are prime numbers ? ” . +I can help you there . Those are numbers that cannot be created by multiplying two whole numbers , apart from the number itself and 1 , together . +So , 1,2 and 3 are prime numbers , but 4 isn ’ t because 2 * 2 = 4 . +Exactly . Anything else ? +How many seconds in an hour ? 60 seconds multiplied by 60 minutes equals 3600 seconds altogether . +You ’ ll be a mathematician one day . +How's your new car ? +Perfect . Couldn't be better ! +You made a good choice , then ? +It's just what I wanted . +No regrets ? +I'm really pleased with it . Thanks . +I'm glad you're so happy . +It's super . +Thank you.Steven.That was the most magnificent meal I've had abroad.You ' ll have to let me reciprocate the next time you're in Beijing . +Don't worry about it , Lin.That ' s no big deal.You know , Americans appreciate China's rich culinary culture . Just excuse me for a second while I check the number here and figure out how much to give the waiter.Hmm , by the way , what do you do about tipping in China ? +We don't . +No tipping ? Now that's what I call a civilized system . +At hotels and some restaurants they add a service charge to the bill , but other than that , tipping isn't customary . +What about cab drivers and porters ? +In a cab you just pay what it says on the meter . I generally tip hotel porters 10 yuan per bag , but in first-class hotels they're instructed not to accept gratuities . +You'd have a revolution on your hands if you tried to introduce that sort of system here . +Morning , Mary . I haven't seen you in a long time . What's up ? +Oh , I took up a new hobby . +So you don't travel a lot now ? +No , Frank . I'm much more interested in collecting stamps now . +It's certainly a popular hobby . I know a lot of people love stamps . +It certainly is . It's so much fun . +I believe collecting stamps has something similar to traveling right ? +Absolutely . Through all kinds of stamps I am able to learn about the world . +Well , every stamp has a story to tell . +You're right . And I also meet many new friends while collecting stamps . +Good . +Sometimes we even spend hours discussing our collections . +There's a lot to share when you have a common interest . +Yes , it's really amazing . I got to go now . I'm meeting with some other collectors . +Ok , good luck . See you +See you , Frank . +I am in hot water now , all the things seem to be blown up . +Don't be scared.Bite the bullet and everything will be right again . +Thank you for encouraging me . There are problems cropping up here and there . But I will over come them one by one . +What a beautiful view , my sweetheart ! +It sure is.The Grand Canyon is truly masterpiece . No man could ever make anything like this . +What is that below ? +It is the Colorado River . You will go down the river in a boat if you wish . +No , thank you.It looks a bit too dangerous for me . +There is a beautiful state park here . I can see why so many people come out here to camp . +Yes , there is this beautiful view . you may go fishing , camping and also enjoy this beautiful clean air . +It definitely is a nice change from the polluted and crowded city . +You are so romantic , my sweetheart . +Our neighbour ’ s tape recorder is so loud that it annoys us to death . I ’ Ve made up my mind to cut the electricity off . +What ? That would be to cut off your nose to spite your face . +Then what shall I do ? +Call the police . +David , what's new with you ? You are not in the mood . Can you tell me ? +After six months , my college life will come to the end . The following trouble will be the job-hunting . That's really a headache . +Do not take things so seriously , my pal ! Every one of us will face the trouble and job-hunting is inevitable . Take it easy ! Believe in yourself and some day you will be successful . +It sounds reasonable . Maybe I should look on the bright side . +What's the matter ? You don't look well . +I am worried . +What about ? +My exam . +Oh , is that all ? +I feel very nervous about it . +Don't worry about it . Try to look on the bright sight of things . +What's wrong , Frank ? +I didn't make the soccer team . +Cheer up ! It's not the end of the world . +Jenny , you look terrible . What's eating you ? +Don't brother me ! +Hey , Chillon , I'm just trying to help . +Sorry , Sally , it's not your fault . +So , what's the problem ? +I drew a blank on ~ about the test . +No kidding ! Didn't you study for it ? +Yeah , but nothing was clear during the test . +That's too bad , anyway , I'm sure things will turn around next master . +I'm thinking of dropping out . +You can't do that , Jenny ! +I'm dead serious about this , Sally . +Come on , let's talk about it . +She's pretty and meek . +No , I can't agree with you . She's one but not the other . +What makes you think so ? +She's my wife , you know . +Hey , did you hear the news ? +No , what's up ? +Miss Yang is dating the manager who's married . +You're joking ! +No joke ! That's why she hasn't married yet . +David , why didn ’ t you clean the room ? +I ’ m not in the mood . +Why are you feeling depressed ? +I was told my girlfriend was speaking ill of me . That ’ s a real let-down . +I don ’ t think she will do such a thing . +But she did and made me disappointed . +Oh , cheer up . A girlfriend is not everything . +But she means a lot to me . +Then forgive her mistake . +Oh . I just can ’ t forget it . +Betty , would you please read this letter of application I've just written ? I'd like to have your opinion . +I'd be glad to tell you what I think . +Good ! I'm interested in your advice . +If I were you , I would change the beginning . You should write about your education first because we like to judge a man by his abilities . +Good idea , Betty . What would you think about the second part ? +I think it's too short . You'd better say something about your work experience . +You're right , I'll change it . How about the last part ? +Very good . But you should talk about your family , too . +I agree . I appreciate your helping me . +Well , everything is packed and ready to go . +It's hard to believe that we're really leaving . The past two weeks was like a dream . +Yes . Just think the blue sky , sunshine , mouth-watering food , centuries-old castles - - +And the people were so friendly ! +Yeah , we would have been lost without the help of the locals . +Do you still remember the small restaurant at the corner of the street ? +Of course . That was the best pasta I've ever had . +I ate so much that I wasn't hungry until afternoon the next day . +If only we could eat there once more ! +Maybe we can come here again next summer . +Hope the restaurant is still there . +Hey , what's the time ? +Oh , my god ! Only two hours left before the plane takes off . We need to be at the airport now . +Don't worry . We can call a cab . It'll be alright . +Do you live with your parents ? +No , they live in Shanghai , my hometown . +How often do you go back to visit them ? +Once a year . +Did you watch the live telecast of the World Cup last night ? +I missed it . I watch a live show of a concert . +What's the band called ? +Love Music Woman +Here comes the birthday cake . +Wow , what a lovely cake . +Be sure to blow out all the candles in one puff . +Oh , they all went out ! Did you make a wish ? +Yes , but I doubt if I get it . I've never get it . +Better luck this time . +Lisa , I ’ Ve been thinking of something . +What is it ? +Well . I ’ Ve done a lot of business for my company . And now I feel like going into business for myself . +Do you mean you want to sell up your company of your own ? +There ’ s a possibility . What do you say ? +That ’ s not a bad idea . Bet after all you should get some sound financial guarantee . +What are the seasons like in your city ? +Summers is hot and usually lasts a long time . Winters are short , but cold , wet , and windy . I love the summers in my city , but I hate the wintertime . +Does it ever rain in summer ? +We usually get a big thunderstorm every two weeks , but apart from that , summers are dry . Thunderstorms make the air fresh again , so most people don ’ t mind then . +What are spring and autumn like ? +I like spring because flowers bloom and trees grow leaves again . In spring , the weather is very changeable-sometimes cold , sometimes warm . It ’ s usually windy with some rain . Autumn is usually sunny an +Well , I live in the southern hemisphere , so our summertime is your wintertime , and vice versa . We get some rain in every season , but most is in winter . In winter , it sometimes gets cold , but our wine +Do you usually go on a summer holiday ? +No , I don ’ t . I go on a winter holiday instead . I go somewhere warm . +I usually go on holiday during the spring or the autumn . I try to go somewhere where the weather is more reliable than in my city . +I have some good news for you . We've decided we'd like to send you to Shanghai on a business trip this weekend . +oh . +don't you think that it'd be a good thing for you to get out of the office for a couple of days ? +sure . +I thought you'd be a bit more excited about this . Everything will be paid for and I'll send my assistant with you to take care of everything for you . All you have to do it get on the train tonight a +the train ? Will I be flying back then ? +oh , no . We've brought your return ticket for you . I think you'll find it comfortable . +will the train be very crowded ? +oh no . the train hasn't been crowded at all recently . Besides , you're in first-class , so you'll be fine . +when is the first meeting then ? +they've scheduled the negotiation meeting for 9:00 tomorrow morning . That should give you enough time to have a quick shower . +where will I be staying ? +we've booked you a room in the same hotel as your meetings , so you won't need to deal much with the transportation system . +that's very sensible . Would it be alright if I left early today to prepare for the trip ? +that's not a problem . Have a nap if you can . You don't know how tight the schedule is for this business trip . +what ? How could you forget to reserve the concert tickets ? +I'm sorry . I forget all about it . +How could you ? I reminded you just this morning . +It's leap my mind . I really feel terrible about it . +I have been looking forward to this performance all month . +I'm really sorry I let you down . I'll make it up to you somehow . +Say , Jim , how about going for a few beers after dinner ? +You know that is tempting but is really not good for our fitness . +What do you mean ? It will help us to relax . +Do you really think so ? I don't . It will just make us fat and act silly . Remember last time ? +I guess you are right . But what shall we do ? I don't feel like sitting at home . +I suggest a walk over to the gym where we can play singsong and meet some of our friends . +That's a good idea . I hear Mary and Sally often go there to play singsong . Perhaps we can make a foursome with them . +Sounds great to me ! If they are willing , we could ask them to go dancing with us . That is excellent exercise and fun , too . +Good . Let's go now . +All right . +Have you heard anything about Markweed Inc . ? They have called me back for interview , and I'm considering taking a job with them . +Well , to start with , Markweed Inc . has a reputation for being one of the best employers in the field . +The best ... huh ? With so many companies out there , how did they establish themselves in such a solid position on top ? +First of all , they have an excellent benefits package for all employees , even the maintenance staff have health and dental coverage . +Really ? What about the pay rate ? Are the wages pretty high ? +From what I hear , they are very reasonable . A lot of the prestige the company has built is because they have attacked some high profile employees with their incentives . +Well , what about the work environment ? Not every one is motivated solely by money . +It's a great place to work . They give you fair pay and benefits , and a lot of room to grow . I think if they off you a job , you should definitely take it . +Terrible . How about people's lives ? +Fortunately , there is no person died . +That's great . It seems that Typhoon is not as bad as earthquake . +Yeah . Earthquake is one of the most badly natural disasters in the world . +That's why many people died in the earthquake . +Well , China is located on the Eurasia plate , where earthquakes happen frequently due to the earth's plates knocking against each other . +Oh , China does have been plagued by numerous destructive earthquakes during its long history . +Yeah , we've experienced the 8.0 magnitude earthquake in Wenchman . +We're all familiar with natural disasters . but we still feel weak when we face Wenchman earthquake . +Right . But people at that time only know two words , " save " and " assistance " , they will never don't lift a finger . Life is the most important compared with anything else . +That's the point . Love among human beings is not limited by geography . +Do I have to take these books here if I want to renew them ? +You can renew the books over the computer . +That's so convenient . +I always feel I ’ m left high and dry with nobody to rely on . +Don ’ t be fool . I ’ ll always side with you . +I appreciate your kindness . +Did you play football yesterday ? +Yes , I played with Tony and John . +What did you do after you'd played football ? +We all went swimming . +Are you going swimming again this afternoon ? +No , we aren't . We're going to help Mr Smith to plant some flowers . +Are you helping him all afternoon ? +Yes , we are . We can neither play football nor do our homework today . +You're , going to be very busy . +Yes , we certainly are . But Mr Smith is going to pay us for all the work we'll do . +Welcome , Ron , come on in ! +Hi , Malia ! What a nice home ! +We enjoy it too ! +How long have you lived here ? +About four years now . +Well , it is very beautiful . +Ron , have a seat and I'll get us something to drink . +Good ! I am really thirsty . You know it really is hot outside ! +I have lemonade , iced tea , and mango juice . +Mango juice would be perfect . Thank you ! +Is there a lot of oil and coal in your country ? +There is some , but my country is not amongst the leading producers . The oil and coal deposits are in the north of my country . Your country is a big oil producer , isn ’ t it ? +Yes , it is . My country is famous for having that natural resources . We also have a lot of natural gas . +We have some too . Do you have a lot of coal ? +No coal has been discovered in my country , but there may be undiscovered deposits . We don ’ t have many metal deposits . +There are a few in my country . We have deposit of gold , but they are very small . +When I traveled around your country , I bought some jewellery made from gold from your country . The jewellery told me that there are few gold mines in your country . The gold was found in mountain steams . +That ’ s right . A few people go panning for gold in rivers . +You have many trees in your country . That ’ s another natural resources . +It ’ s a natural resources that we hardly use . Government policy is to conserve those forests . +I see . That ’ s probably a good idea . Too many forest are being destroyed . +Is your country ’ s environment being damaged by the oil industry ? +We have some inspections , but it is very hard to avoid pollution when extracting oil . There has been some damage , but it is under control . +Don't you have too much to do with him . +Why not ? +His father is a prisoner . +So what ? His father is in prison , not he . +ORG ! It must be so late where you are . What time is it ? +just after 2 am . +what's wrong ? Can't sleep ? +nope , actually I was waiting for you . I have something big to tell you . +really ? What is it ? +I have an offer to work for a company in your city today ? +I can't believe it ! Is it real ? You're moving here ? +I haven't accepted the position yet and with the upcoming holiday I think it's the perfect chance to visit the city and take a good look at the company before deciding . If you have time I think we c +just give me the dates and I'll make sure I'm free . You know after all these chatting online , it will be great to meet you in real life . I look forward to seeing you soon ! +me too . But I think I am going to bed now . my head is getting heavy . Have a nice day there ! +thanks . This is so exciting . Sleep tight and sweet dreams ! +talk to you later . +You really should stop smoking , you know . +I know . I know . I don ’ t smoke too much , though . +How many cigarettes do you smoke a day ? +About a pack , more if I drink . +Wow . You ’ re really a heavy smoker . +No , I ’ m not . My father smoked two packs a day for forty years . +He died of lung cancer , right ? +Yeah ... you ’ re right . I really should stop smoking . +Why are you so rude to your wife ? +I didn't like her butting in where I didn't want her . She's a chatter box . +But she means to help you , not to trouble you . +I know . But I just can't stand her butting in when I was trying to emphasize a point . +OK , Hello ! +Hello ! +Hi , what's your name ? +Yeah , my name is Nandu . +Nandu . Nandu , how do you spell you name ? +Yeah , my name is like N-A-N-J-U . +Oh , OK . That's a nice name , Nandu . And where are you from ? +I'm from Madras . +Be quiet , Will you ? +I'm sorry . +I have to miss school next week . +Isn't there some way you could work your schedule out to be here ? +Unfortunately , this is what I have to do . +How are you going to catch up ? +I've got it all covered . +If you miss this class , you will have used up your quota for the semester . +Don't worry , this will be the last class I miss . +Make sure to remind me right before you are absent . +I'll remember . +Enjoy your day off and don't forget to study ! +There will be a party in my company ; what shall I wear ? +Is it formal or informal ? +I guess it is a formal one because the general director will give a speech there , and most of the staff will take part in . +In that case , formal suit with a nice tie will be better . +You are right . What about shoes ? +The brown leather shoes are OK . +Thanks a lot . +Don ’ t mention it . +How do you think about our boss ? +He's the nicest boss I've had . +Yes , I think he's the most relaxing person in management . +What's more , he said I was the hardest working person in the office ! +That's good . Maybe you'll get promoted . +I hope so . +Well , no one could survive without water , but you see pollution has been making more and more water unable for drinking . +Yeah . Water pollution has for a long time been a major concern among the environmental issues . +But what are the sources of water pollution ? +They could generally be divided into two categories , direct and indirect contaminant sources . +Well , direct ones are the pollution directly from factories , refineries waste treatment plants etc . , aren ’ t they ? +Yeah . They are emitted directly into urban water supplies . +But what about the indirect ones ? +Indirect sources include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils or groundwater systems and from the atmosphere via rainwater . +I see . For the sake of us all , we should be an active participator in the prevention of it . +Sure . It's an issue asking for everyone's participation . +I'm tired of dancing . +But to me it's really enjoyable . +Maybe it's because you always have pretty girls as your partners . +Maybe so . +I ’ m sick of my job , I always have to work late at night , and the company keeps me working in the office . +Why don ’ t you find a new career where you can do what you enjoy , being outside working during the day ? +What do you suggest ? I can ’ t afford to quit my job until I get a new one . +Maybe you have two choices . You could attend school during the day , or you could get a position that provides training . +I just dropped in to say good-bye . +What time are you leaving ? +I'm going to try to leave by ten . +Take care and give my best to your parents . +Good-bye . Hope to see you soon again next year . +Don't forget to call us if you're in Tokyo . +David , recently I established a travelling forum , and now I want to make a plan to hold the first activity . Where can we go for this time ? +How many members are there in your forum ? +a dozen . +I think we can visit West Lake . The landscapes are attractive . It is said that just as there is paradise in heaven , there are Su Thou and Hang Thou on earth . +It's surely worth going to . There are ten famous spots there . +What can we do next after locating the place ? +Inform my members to prepare for the travelling . And then we can discuss about the travelling costs . +My mom is three years older than my dad , and they are like night and day.My mom is 5 footsweet and very nice , and very caring , and very cute , everybody tells her how young she looks , and how she resembles my sister , perhaps.My father is very much completely opposite that.He is a very bi 4 , on a good day , 5 foot 2 , I think in real life , and she is very nice . +When is the last time you talked to you parents ? +I talked to them probably about two weeks ago . Yeah , everything is going well . +Are you going to see them soon ? +I am going to go home after the holidays and we're going to have a Christmas kind of in January or February . Yeah , depending on when my brother can come in . +OK . And who are you more like , your mother or your father ? +I think I have traits of both , actually . I look more like my mother . +We have to pick up Conrad before the party . +Alright , no problem . +We're supposed to meet him at Cal's Bar at 10 +Wait a minute . Cal's bar ? +Yes . +That's a gay bar . +Yes , it is . Conrad is gay . Didn't you know ? +I thought he was maybe gay , but I wasn't sure.Anyhow , you don't expect me to go into a gay bar , do you ? +Why not ? We're supposed to meet him there . +Why doesn't he meet us outside ? +Why should he do that ? It isn't illegal for us to go in . +Yeah , but who wants to go in ? I'm not gay , you know . Why should I go in a gay bar ? +You sound like you're afraid . +I just wouldn't be comfortable . +You've never been in a gay bar before ? +No , never . +But it's just a bar . There's no danger.You shouldn't be so homophobic . +Well ... +Listen . If you refuse to go in , Conrad will be offended.You don't hate gay people , do you ? +No , I don't . But I never went into a gay bar before . +Don't worry about it . There is nothing strange about it.If Conrad's there , we'll leave for the party.If he's not , we'll sit down and have a drink . +Okay . I will try it . I suppose it isn't reasonable for me to refuse to go in.After all , gay people aren't afraid to go into normal bars . +I'm glad you feel that way.We ' ll leave in about ten minutes , alright ? +Fine . +Are these your triplets ? They ’ re beautiful ! I ’ Ve seen other babies who were nothing but skin and bones at their age . You know , they ’ re absolutely identical of you and John ! Are you planning on having any more ? +Bite your tongue ! I ’ m already at the end of my rope . Some nights I don ’ t sleep at all . John manages to sleep like a log even when the babies are screaming at the top of their lungs . +Well , tell me . How was the labor and delivery ? +I wouldn ’ t say that I had the time of my life but at least everything went without a hitch . +Well , hang in there . In twenty years , you ’ ll fell it was well worth it ! +Is everything ready for the big family barbecue tomorrow ? +Yep . The steaks and chicken are marinated and I also bought hamburger buns . +We should also cook a couple dozen hot dogs and kebabs . +Yeah , good idea.We can put some lawn furniture outside next to the grill . I also set up the tent outside so we can hide from the sun if it gets too hot . +Great ! I asked Grace to bring cups and serviettes as she is also bringing two big coolers for the beers . +This is gonna be a great barbecue ! +How is Rose now ? +It ’ s still touch and go . We don ’ t see how she can make it . +I ’ m sorry to hear about that . +It's a fine day today , isn't it ? +Yes , it is.It ' s wonderful after the downpour . +How nice seeing the sun back again ! The air is so fresh . +I hope it stays nice like this for a long period of time . +Well , the weather is so unpredictable this time of year . +You're right.We don't know what is going to be like tomorrow . +Look ! It looks as if it is going to rain . +The weatherman predicts a fine day today . +The weather is often quite different from the weather forecast . +Good morning . Mrs.Smith . +Good morning ! Can you help me , please ? I'm looking for some books for my mother . +Well , what kind of books does she like ? +She's very fond of detective stories ? +I see . Has she read any detective stories ? +Oh , yes ! +Do you know if she's read this one ? +I'm not sure , but she probably won't remember if she has ! She's very forgetful ! +Ah ! She has a bad memory . How old is she ? +She's eighty-seven . +I suggest you take this book . It's very exciting . +Thank you . That's a good idea.she likes exciting books . Can you suggest another one ? +Do I have to write the invitation cards ? +No , you don ’ t have to . But I think you ought to . +Oh , well . If I must , I must . +How many people are in your family ? +As you know , China has a single-child policy . Therefore , there ’ s just my husband , my daughter and I . What about in your family ? +I have one daughter and one son . Then there ’ s my husband and I . What about your parents ? Do they live with your family ? +Not anymore . They live with my brother now . and yours ? +My parents live by themselves now . when they get older , they ’ ll probably go to a retirement home . Do you just have one brother ? +No , I have two older brothers and one younger sister . What about you ? +I also grew up in a big family . I have one older brother and three younger sisters . +How long have you been married ? +About seven years now . and you ? +I've been married for about five years . What do you think about divorce ? +It ’ s becoming more and more common . However , I don ’ t ever want to get divorced myself ! What about you ? +If my husband cheated on me or treated me badly , I would get a divorce . +If that happens , maybe you could marry my brother and we could become in-laws ! +( ha ha ) I ’ ll keep that in mind , but don ’ t tell my husband . +Of course not ! +I hear that you are going to participate in the dinner party tonight.Seen from what you are dressing , you really look like a fox . +Yeah , I think it will be wonderful . +I was just watching a documentary on tv about people use dogs for various purpose . It was very interesting . +I love dogs . They have been used as guards for centuries . Nowadays , they are often used to find illegal drugs and bombs by the police and customs officers . +The documentary also pointed out that they are used by shepherds to round up sheep and by rescue workers to find people trapped under rubble or snow . +Horses are useful to people too . We use them for sports and recreation . +Don ’ t forget that horses are still used in many countries to pull ploughs and carts . +Can you ride a horse ? +Yes , I can . I don ’ t ride regularly though . How about you ? +I can ride too . Perhaps we could go horse riding together at the weekend ? +What a good idea ! +How's it going ? +I'm in a good mood today , actually . How about you ? +To be honest , I'm a bit fed up . +What's wrong ? +There's a girl in my company that I really like but I always get shy when she is around . +I see ! Do you want to ask her out ? +Sure , but how ? +You can ask her out for drink after work . +But for what reasons ? She doesn't even know who I am . +Then you've got a lot of homework to do . You need to get her notice first . +Easier said than done . +You can start by meeting her at the bus stop and saying hello to her . +But I always get tongue-tied when I see her . +That's something you need to overcome . Men should make the first move as most of girls prefer being chased . +I see . I'll try . +Good luck . +It's too hot to read . +We'd better go out for a walk . +Which season do you like best ? +Spring . +How about summer ? +I dislike it most . +Why ? +Because the hottest season is summer in a year . +But sometimes summer is more charming than the other seasons . +Where did you go yesterday ? +I went to Croydon . +Did you go shopping ? +No , I went for an interview . +Oh , did you get a job ? +Yes , I got a job as a Management Trainee . +Fantastic . +John hasn't got married up to now . +Don't you know that he has been carrying a torch for Mary for years ? +Really ? Does Mary know that ? +Of course not . +How silly John is . +Mom , you know that Andrea and I sometimes worry about you . +Really ? Why would you worry about me ? I ’ m just fine . +You ’ re almost 70 years old , Mom ! Don ’ t you think it would be better for you if you moved in with us ? +No way ! I like my apartment , and I like to be independent . +Do you ever get lonely living alone ? +Not at all . I see you and your family twice a week , and I enjoy seeing my own friends . I ’ m too busy to feel lonely ! +Tom , you look thoughtful and unhappy recently . What's wrong with you ? +Lily broke up with me last week . In fact , she dumped me . +Why ? I mean , why did she part company with you after seven years together ? +She said it was because we had very different ideas about life . +Do you believe her excuse ? +Of course not . I knew she had fallen in love with another guy . It is difficult to see her move on so quickly . +Come on , buddy , cheer up . Why not do some sports with me ? Violent exercise might help to shake you out of your disappointment in love . +Thank you , Steven . You are really a good friend . +Do you like singing ? +Yes , I do . +Let's go to a ETV tonight . +But I can't sing it well . +It doesn't matter . No one will laugh at you . +OK , I'Il go with you . When shall we go ? +What about six ? +It's too early . Let's make it seven , OK ? +OK . Let's make it . +You're being childish . Your nose will heal . And so will your pride , if you let it . +I'll have us ready for Stars.com by the end of next week . After that , I don't know . +Don't know what ? +Let's just say there could be some big changes around here . +Is that right ? Like what kind of changes ? +You'll see . Oh , yeah , you'll see . +Come on , grow up . Have you seen Vince around ? +It ’ s really terrible ! +What are you talking about ? +Don ’ t you see many parents are forcing there children ’ s hands to learn something they think important to their children . But the children are not interested in it at all . +You said it . Many parents just don ’ t understand know how to educate their children . +Hello , this is Helen speaking . +Hello , Helen . This is John . How are you ? +Fine , thank you . And you ? +Fine , thanks . I ’ ll have a party next Sunday at home . I ’ m calling to ask whether you can come or not . +Oh , how wonderful . I ’ ll be glad to . +Okay , now you are a famous star . +Hum , don ’ t say that . Maybe you can do something useful for me . +What ’ s wrong with you ? +I ’ ll tell you at the party . +Okay . +Don't you think we ' d leave for the concert now ? +What time dose it start ? +In about 25 minutes . +Then we'd better get started . +This is my admission card , and these are the books . +OK , a moment , please . +By the way , can I renew the borrowing ? +For which one ? +Sense and Sensibility , English version . +Yes , of course . +Can I just do it here ? +Sorry . No . You should go to the other counter . +OK , thanks . +Sorry , this biography is over the deadline . You should pay extra for it . +I was thinking of buying this from the bookstore when my father got this from the library ... anyway , how much should I pay ? +3 Yuan , please . +Here you are . Thanks . +You are welcome . See you next time . +Hi , Mary , it ’ s been a long time +Hello , my old friend . Long time no see . How are you doing ? +Well , I ’ m doing okay . And how about yourself ? +Not so well . To be honest with you , I broke up with Tom . +Oh . I ’ m sorry to hear that . What happened ? +hi , come on in . Can I take your coat ? +sure , thanks . I brought you a bottle of wine as well . +you're the first guest to arrive . I'll just put your coat away and then I'll get you something to drink . +should I take my shoes off ? +whatever you prefer . +this is a very nice place . How long have you been living here now ? +just over three weeks . Would you like a drink ? +sure , what do you have ? +I've got white wine , red wine , gin and tonics , ginger ale , lemonade , orange juice , and sprite . +I'll have a glass of red wine please . +one glass of red wine coming up ! +so how many people are coming for the dinner tonight ? +there's just going to be 6 of us tonight . +oh , I thought there were going to be eight . who isn't coming ? +Marcia and Paul called to cancel at the last moment . Paul was running late and Marcia wasn't feeling well . +that's too bad.They ' re such good company . +I think there's someone at the door . +excuse me while I go and get that . +Do you mind if I come over to use your computer ? +No , but I have to type my paper tonight . +Does that mean I can't use it tonight ? +You got it ! +Do you like plum blossoms ? +Certainly . I prefer the winter and I love plum blossoms much more . +It's snowing heavily . What about taking a walk ? +Seeking plum blossoms with stepping on the snow ? That's a good idea . Let's go ! +What a heavy snow ! +Take care ! Don't slip down to the ground . +I've got it . I like the sound of stepping on the snow very much . +Yes . Very wonderful . +Do you smell the sweet scent ? +Yes . It should be the fragrance of plum blossoms . +The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the hard coldness . +I hate working on Christmas Eve ! Whoa ! Get a load of this guy ! Come in central , I think we ’ Ve got ourselves a situation here . +License and registration please . Have you been drinking tonight , sir ? +I had one or two glasses of eggnog , but nothing else . +Step out of the vehicle , please . Sir , what do you have in the back ? +Just a few Christmas gifts , ’ tis the season , after all ! +Don ’ t take that tone with me . Do you have an invoice for these items ? +Umm ... no ... I make these in my workshop in the North Pole ! +You are under arrest , sir . You have the right to remain silent . You better not pout , you better not cry . Anything you say can and will be used against you . You have the right to an attorney . if you cannot afford one , the state will appoint one for you.do you understand the arrest to you ? +You can ’ t take me to jail ! What about my sleigh ? It ’ s Christmas Eve ! I have presents to deliver ! Rudolph ! Prancer ! Dancer ! Get help ! +I hear you're going to Tainan to visit your uncle . +That's correct . +Well , say hello to him for me . +What would you reckon the taxing increases ? +Well , the state will benefit a lot , I suppose . +But what do most people think about it ? +Ah , it ’ s hard to say . +How's your father been ? +He's been out of work for a couple of days . +What's wrong with him ? +He has a bad cold . +Well , tell him to take it easy and that I hope he feels better . +Thanks . I'll tell him . +Can you help me buy my textbooks ? +There will probably be a book list in the bookstore . Do you have your class schedule handy ? +No , I don't have that . +To get started , take that list over to the bookstore . Do you know where the bookstore is ? +I am not sure where the bookstore is . +When you pass the gym , it'll be the first door on the left . Do you know how to sell your old textbooks for money ? +Yes , I knew I could do that . Exactly how do I go about selling them ? +If you give your used textbooks to the person at the booth outside the door , he will reimburse you . Can you go over there today ? +I think maybe I could be there . +I am free at 1 +Maybe that would work . +I'll catch you later then . Have a wonderful morning . +Hey , John . Nice car . +Thanks . I finally got rid of that old Nissan that got me through college . +What is this , the new Ford ? +No , it ’ s last year ’ s model . +True . How much did you pay ? +$ 14,500 . It only has 10,000 miles on it , so it ’ s like a new car . +Does that mean you ’ re not going to take the train to work anymore ? +Well , sometimes , I think it ’ ll be nice to drive to work instead . We ’ ll see . Want to go for a ride ? +Yeah , sure . +Come on . +What are your plans for this weekend ? +I'd like to hire a bike . I think it would be a good idea to do some cycling on Sunday . +If the weather's fine . +I am sure it will be . It's been good so far this weekend . +I know a good place to hire bikes if you want . +Thanks . That would be really helpful . +But remember , be careful when you ride a bike . The traffic in Beijing can be dangerous . +I wish the teacher wouldn't make us read this book . +Yeah . It's boring . I'd rather read something more exciting . +Mr . Brown is in hospital again . +Is he ? He ’ s never been healthy . +When I went to see him yesterday , he looked rather pale . +I ’ m afraid he won ’ t make old bones . +Someone ’ s told me behind closed door that he is very hot-tempered . +I ’ m afraid what you were told is not quite right , if you could meet him in person , and you ’ ll know he ’ s very agreeable and capable . +Really ? I hope to meet him soon . +Do you like playing tennis ? +I don't find it very exciting . +Maybe you haven't found the magic . +I can't wait ! +How old are you ? +Nine ... but I'll be ten on May 1st.When is your birthday ? +I'm older than you ! I'll be ten on April 14th . +Are you going to have a birthday party ? +Maybe .

I know it is a graduate course and I ' m a junior , but ... +Aren't you a bit young ? I have a lot of qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up . +I know , but geology of the American west is my major interest and I have done a large reading in the field . +Well , if you think you are ready , I'll let you enroll . +Oh , thanks , professor Donald.this is very nice of you . +Good evening , John . +Good evening , Mary . +How are you doing ? +I'm doing fine , thanks.What ' s new with you ? +Nothing special . +I'm wondering whether you could come over for a pizza sometime next week ? +Sounds good.Sorry , here comes my bus.You call me , or I'll call you to make a date . +I'll call you . +All right.Gotta go , bye , keep in touch . +Have a great day , take care , bye . +How'd you like to go on a bungee jump this weekend ? +I'm not sure . I promised to help my sister move Saturday . +How about Sunday , then ? We could start in the morning . +I might be able to do that . But I don't think I can do it well . +Don't worry . It is a test of physical endurance , intelligence . Just to finish it is considered a victory for most . +OK . I'll talk to you later . +I must apologize for having delayed the work . +No , that ’ s not all your fault . +But you will miss your good chance . I ’ m So sorry +There ’ s no need to apologize.Forget about it . +Oh dear , my weight has gone up again . +I am not surprised , you eat too much . +And I suppose sitting at the desk all day in the office doesn't help . +No , I wouldn't think so . +I do wish I could lose weight . +Well , why don't you go on the diet ? +I've tried diets before but they've never worked . +Perhaps you should excercise more . Why don't you go to an exercise class . +Yes , maybe I should . +Hi , Larry , how was your weekend ? +Not bad . We had a get-together with friends from college . I haven't seen many of them since graduation . How about you ? +Great . I hung out with Jo all day shopping , and the went out for dinner together . +Sounds a good weekend . You know it always amazes me that two people as different as you and Jo can become such close friends . +Yeah , I never thought we could be good friends either . We have our differences . She's more outgoing and active while I am more quiet and reversed , but we still get along extremely well . We can talk for hours about anything . +That's great . I know people who can't stand each other for even five minutes . +When Jo and I are together , we argue a lot , but that's also part of the fun . Besides , I know she will always be there for me when I need her , and she knows I'll be there for her . +It seems you two bring out the best of one another . +Exactly . Having Jo as my friend is one of the best things that's ever happened to me . +Yeah , you are so lucky to have found each other . +Thanks , I think so too . +What ’ s the matter , Sally ? You look so unhappy . +I had a bad day yesterday . +What happened ? +I went to the library and lost my bag . +Your bag ? Did you get it back ? +I went back for it . But it was already gone . +That ’ s too bad . I ’ m sorry to hear that . +Are you free this evening , Li ? +I ’ m afraid I ’ m busy tonight . I ’ m having dinner with friends . +What a pity . I wanted to go for a drink with you . +What about tomorrow ? Are you doing anything tomorrow ? +No , I haven ’ t got any plans . +Shall we go out tomorrow then ? +Why not ? Sounds good to me . +Do you like a package tour or to travel alone ? +I prefer a package tour , and we don't have to worry about accommodation , meals or that sort of trivial demanding things . +I prefer travel alone . I'll have a lot of time lingering at one place . +Here , Let me get the door for you . +Thanks . +Do you need a hand with that ? +Actually , I could you some help . Thank you so much . +Don't worry about it . +Sam , what shall I do with my stocks ? Will I lose money ? +There ’ s a possibility . +What do you mean by that ? +I mean if you don ’ t sell your shares now , it ’ s quite likely that you ’ ll end up losing your shirt . +Is that so ? +Absolutely . Take my word for it . +You should have seen the line at the housing office.It took me an hour to make my dormitory deposit for next year . Have you made yours yet ? +No , I ’ m not sure I ’ m going to . +Why not ? There ’ s not much time left . Are you short of cash ? +No , thanks . I am okay . +You ’ d better hurry up if you wanna a dorm room next September ... +Well , actually , I am thinking about living off campus . +Do you have any idea how much that would cost ? +I know it would be more expensive . I think I could handle it though . It ’ s that this dorm is so noisy that I can ’ t get anything done . +You should study in the library the way I do . Think of the money you ’ d save . +I ’ Ve got to think it over some more . +I hope you will have second thoughts . +What a wonderful party ! I had a good time . How about you ? +I enjoyed myself , too . +Shall I give you a ride home ? +Yes , if it's not too much of a trouble . +It's no trouble at all because your house is on the way to my place . +That's great . Let's go ! +Hello , my name is Xu Hua . I'm from Beijing . +Hello , Xu Hua . I'm Paula . I'm American . +Welcome to China , Paula . +Thank you . +Have you heard that Mel Gibson was arrested by the police last week ? +No , not yet . Why ? +For suspicion of driving under influence . +Oh . I am not his fan . +You've met her before , haven't you ? +I don't recall . +Excuse me , Sir , do you know what time it is ? +Oh , it ’ s almost eleven twenty . +Thank you . +You ’ re welcome . The rain is quite heavy , isn ’ t it ? +Yeah . I was in a hurry and I forgot my umbrella today . +I have one . We could share it . Which way are you going ? +Oh , that ’ s very kind of you . I am going to the Garden Hotel . +I am going there , too . We can walk together . +Sure . +We'd like to invite you over for dinner this Friday evening . Can you come ? +This Friday evening ? +Yes . We hope you'll be able to join us . +Thank you for the invitation . I'll be very happy to go . +Good ! +What time should I arrive ? +How about 6:00 ? +Fine . See you then . +Isn't this lovely weather ? Will you help me water the flowers , Jack ? +Well , do you think I have to ? +I do.We haven't watered them for quite a few days . +Please look at the sky.Don ' t you see the dark clouds ? It's going to rain soon . +Good.So we don't have to work.How nice ! +But I don't think it's so nice . +Why ? +The weather report says it's going to rain for a whole week . +Oh , I'm afraid all the flowers will die in the rain . +Can you speak English ? +Yes I can . I speak it very well . +Where did you learn it ? +I lived in England when I was a child . +What else can you speak ? +Well , I know a little Italian . +What ’ s the difference between football and rugby ? +Those tow games are quite different . First , there ’ s the size of the teams . In football , a team has 11 players . In rugby there are 15 players on each team . The biggest difference is that in football , only the goalkeeper can use his hands . In rugby , the ball is usually carried forward by players , though kicking is permitted . +In rugby , players pass the ball by throwing it to team mates , don ’ t they ? +That ’ s right . However , players can only pass the ball backwards . They cannot pass the ball forwards to their team mates . That ’ s a foul . +I know how goals are scored in football , but how about in rugby ? +If a team carries the ball over the goal line , they score points . A team can also score points by kicking the ball between two tall posts at each end of the pitch . +There ’ s a lot more physical contact in rugby , isn ’ t there ? +Yes . Players usually need to bring a player down to stop him from moving forward with the ball . This is called ” tackling ” , as in football . +The ball is a different shape in rugby , isn ’ t it ? +Yes . It ’ s not perfectly round like a football . A rugby ball is oval in shape . There ’ s a match on TV this afternoon . Why don ’ t you watch it with me ? I ’ ll try to explain the rules and tactics while we ’ re watching . +Ok . +What do you say to eating out , Maggie ? +Yeah , why not ? We haven't been out for dinner for quite a long time . A new French restaurant has just opened in our neighborhood . We can go there . +Do we need to book a table in advance ? +No need for that . It's not usually busy on weekdays . +What time shall we go ? +Why not now ? I'm hungry . +How do you like other films starring Charlie Chaplin ? +Well , I like others very much , but I really don't think much of this one . +You don't like the performance , do you ? +Yes , but I don't like the story . +Who's that striking woman over there ? +Hm ? Oh , that's Alice . She's totally mad . Don't get yourself in a room alone with her . +Really ? Why not ? She looks great . +Yes , I know , but she's dangerous . +Really ? Tell me more . +Well , I'm not one to gossip , as you know , but rumor has it that she sued her former boss for sexual harassment . +Wow , crikey . So what happened ? +Well , this is just between ourselves , of course , but he was her lover and he wanted to leave her , so she got revenge . I heard him say she was a dangerous woman . +Wow . +Oh , while we're on the subject , what happened to you and your secretary ? +I have no idea what you're talking about . +Oh , come on . Everybody knows . +Could you excuse me a moment ? I have to make a phone call +Oh , sure . +What is the movie you saw last night ? +It is a new film , ' Transformer ' . +How do you like it ? +I expected too high from that movie , but I was a bit disappointed about it . +But I heard the box office rose up to 15 million in the first week . +Box office can't explain everything . I do not think it is cheerful or well-made . The plot is old and the female character is not pretty . +My sister has given me two tickets for tonight . It is called ' The life of Rose ' , a French movie . +What's it about ? +It tells the lifetime of a lady singer from a beggar in the street to a famous singer in the world . It is a kind of tragedy . +I prefer the tragedy . It is moving and makes me ponder about my life . +Let's go . The time is coming . +We can buy the popcorn before entering the cinema . +Hi ! Peter . How are you ? +Fine ! How about you ? +Pretty good . +I cannot ignore her suggestion . In fact I always value her suggestion . +I know . Maybe you will get the air if you go against her . +Well , it takes two to to make a happy marriage . +And it takes two to make an agreement too . You have no guts , I am afraid . +Who ’ s that ? +It ’ me . Susan Taylor +Oh , please come in . nice to see you . +On , what ’ re you doing ? You look as busy as a bee . +Yeah , I ’ m trying to decorate my house . +Really , that ’ s cool . Let me see what you ’ Ve done . +But actually it ’ s not done yet . I ’ m going to get a special pendent lamp . +That ’ s all right . Let me see , oh , that lace looks so unique , and it ’ s so creative to make a picture display here . How did you get that idea ? +It ’ s just a simple decorating . I just want to add my personality to my living space . +Do you like music ? +Well , it depends . +Do you think the music is well-matched ? +No , I think the music is too fast . +How about the words of the song ? +It sounds nice . +I like it . Naturally it can arouse your feelings . +Yes , I think so . It's very emotional . +Of course , and I also like the rhythms . +Full of energy and hope . +Really . It's worth listening to and enjoying . +Certainly it is . It's worth an Academy Award . +Hey , Wen ! Welcome to D . C . ! Glad you came out to visit ! +Thanks for inviting me . Actually , I've never been anywhere with so many black people before . It's different . +Howard is eighty percent black . But there are whites , and even Asians here . Thankfully , it's also coed . +Great ! Is your , too ? +Sorry , nope . But the Alpha Phi Alpha's are throwing a party tonight . +That's a black fraternity , right ? So we should see some dancing ! +How could you handle living in such a big family ? Does everyone get along ? +Sure . We love each other and take care of each other . +In such a big family , there must be a head . Who's the head of your family ? +My grandpa . He has the final word about almost everything . My grandpa is “ President , ” and Grandma is “ Vice-President . ” My parents , uncles and aunts try to arrive at a consensus on important questions . +Is a family like yours common in South Korea ? +No . Not anymore.Mine is highly educated but traditional family . Most South Korea families today are a lot smaller . In traditional families , the old people are well respected and taken good care of . Ho +My family setup is a bit different . In New York city , there're only three people , my mother , my stepfather and me . During this summertime , I fly out to California and live with my dad . Dad's getting +Of course there'll be a room for you ! +To be blunt , maybe I won't be able to get along with his new wife or her kids . +Yours is a modern family . I'm sure your dad loves you and would want you to stay for the summer . You just need to try your best to get along with your new stepmother and her boys . +But four boys ! +It will be a new experience , and you might as well learn to adjust to changes . +You are right , I guess.The world keeps changing , and so do families . But I like a small-sized or medium-sized family where everybody is equal to everybody else . That's what I want . +It is good to have goals in life . If California doesn't work out , come and visit me in Korea , OK ? +That's a great idea ! +We could share a room ! It would be fun . And we could do some traveling around Korea . You could see for yourself what life in a big family is like ! +That sounds like an excellent offer . I might take you up on that . Thank you for the wonderful invitation . +Hello , Kate . +Hi , Peter . I didn't see you last night . Where did you go ? +I was almost on line the whole night . +Did you play network games the whole night ? +No , I listened to the music , too . +What are you going to do now ? +I'm tired . I need a rest . +I'm going to have some people over for dinner Saturday night.Would you like to join us ? +Oh , I'm afraid I'll be busy tomorrow evening . +Some other time then ? +OK.Thanks for asking me . +Ma , I really don't know how to thank you . +I'm glad I was able to help . +It's most kind of you . +Don't mention it . It was the least I could do . +If there's ever anything I can do for you , Don't hesitate to let me know . +Thank you . +I'm most grateful . +It was a pleasure . +You're acting weird tonight . +I'm just in the mood to act goofy . +What brought this on ? +I guess I'm glad exams are over . +Hey , Mary , can you cut that out ? +Cut what out I ’ m not doing anything . +The tapping of your pen on your desk . It ’ s driving me crazy . +Fine ! By the way would you mind not slurping your coffee every time you have a cup ! +I don ’ t slurp my coffee . And plus , how can you hear it when you ’ re shouting into your phone all the time ? +You ’ Ve got to be kidding me ! You ’ re complaining about me talking on the phone when you go out for a cigarette break ten times a day to shoot the breeze ? +Look , we have a lot of accumulated anger from working in these conditions , and it ’ s probably okay to let off steam once in a while . But , it ’ s probably not a good idea to keep it up I ’ m willing to forgive and forget and if you are . +Fine . Let's call a truce . I'll try to more considerate and to keep the noise down . +Yeah , I ’ ll try to do the same.So , I was wondering you wanna go out to dinner Friday night ? +what do you think about all the different diets people go on ? +I don't think dieting is good for you . It's much better to eat a balanced diet and to never get overweight to begin with ! +but what do you think about people who are obese ? What should they do to lose weight ? +they need to eat healthy foods , but they also have to increase the amount of exercise they do every day . They don't have to cut out fattening foods altogether , though . +so you think it's ok for people who are dieting to eat chocolate ? +sure , they can eat some chocolate . As long as they are exercising and eating mostly healthy foods , there's nothing wrong with having a small desert . +how about drinking soda ? +many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda . Soda should be a treat ; there's simply no nutritional value in it whatsoever . If you want to lose weight and you can't stop drinking soda , try +that's good advice . Have you ever tried taking vitamins ? +my mother used to make me take vitamins every day , but I don't take them anymore . Vitamins are good as a supplement , but they don't do much good if you don't have a well-balanced diet to start . +how do you know so much about food and dieting ? +you might not believe this , but I used to be twice the size than I am now ! +Bill , I have received the admission letter from Cambridge University ! +Congratulations ! +How about you ? Have you got any news from university ? +No . But I am going to apply for some vocational schools . I like fashion design and want to study it . +I am glad you can study something you really like ! +John , if you don't mind , I'd like to ask you a personal question . +I don't mind at all . +All right . Are you married ? +To tell you the truth , I'm not married . I'm still single . +Then , when do you plan to get married ? +I don't know . It's still up in the air . +Bob , put on your shoes , your feet are really smelly . +No foot gives out scent . +But don't forget you are in a cafe . +Never mind , the odour of my feet will quicken their eating speed . +I simply can't bear your barbaric behavior . +Don ’ t pretend you are a good God . +You should feel shameful for your behavior . +I've never experienced such a kind of feeling . +I'm really sick of you . +What are you doing over the weekend , Sara ? +I'm planing to go bowling tonight . Tomorrow I was hoping to see a movie . What about you ? +I want to go camping , you know , just get a way for the weekend . I'm not sure I'll be able to , though . +Why not ? +Well , I have a lot of work . I'll see how it goes . +She is kind of player who never hides how she's feeling . Once look at her and you know if she's winning or losing . +She wears her heart on her sleeve . +Good afternoon , Johnson . +Good afternoon , Mary . How's business ? +Not bad , thanks . +hey Ayden , I was wondering if you could do me a favor . +that depends . What is it ? +it's kind of a big favor . I'm absolutely flat broke , and I owe my landlady $ 200 . she's given me until Friday to give it to her , but I don't get paid until next Monday . Do you think you could loans +I'd love to help you out , but I'm a bit short on cash this month as well . I had to get a new engine put into my car , and that ate up my savings . +if you can't give me the full amount , a fraction of it would still help . I'll pay you back on Monday . I promise . +let's see , I've got about $ 50 to get me through the weekend . I can only spare about $ 20 . I would give you more if I had it , I just don't have much money to my name right now . +thanks a lot Ayden . Every little bit will help . Tell you what , if you aren't doing anything tonight , why don't you come over and have dinner at my place . +that'd be great . Thanks ! What time should I come over ? +how about at 6 pm ? +see you then ! +You don't have to play that record so loud , do you ? +I'm sorry . Has it been bothering you ? +Yes . And please ask me the next time you want to use something . +I'm sorry . I meant to ask you . +I'm going over to the gym . I want to do some running . +Why don't you run outside ? +Are you kidding ? Do you know how cold it is today ? +Yeah , I suppose . I guess it isn't healthy to run in this weather . +No , it's not . Not at all . I'd probably freeze my lungs . +Wait for me a minute . I'll go over to the gym too . +You ? +Yes , why not ? Just let me get my gym clothes together . +I didn't know you could exercise . +What do you mean by that ? Everyone can exercise ! +Yeah , I know . But you ? I always thought you were only good at lifting beer bottles to your mouth . +No , not at all . I was on the swimming team in high school.And I'd like to do some weight training . They have decent equipment at that gym . +You're going to lift weights ? Hah ! +Are you laughing at me ? +I'm sorry . I just can't imagine you lifting weights . +Maybe not . But I want to start . I need to get in shape . I feel these past couple months that my energy is low . +It's true . If a person doesn't exercise , they get sluggish.That ' s why I keep running . Even in the winter . +So I need to do something too . +But lifting weights isn't the best thing.You should do some kind of aerobic exercise . +I know . But I want to start today with a little weight lifting.Then I'm going to buy a new swimming suit and goggles , and every other day I'm going to go swim laps in the pool . How does that sound ? +It sounds like a good plan to me . I'm still ... I mean ... +What ? +I'm still just surprised you really want to do it.It doesn't seem to go with your character . +The boss is mad at you . +Who cares ? +Bob , what are you thinking about ? +I'm looking forward to going to America . +When do you go ? +Next week . +I have never seen so many flavors of ice cream in one place ! +There certainly are a lot . Can you choose a favorite ? +Vanilla with toppings is my favorite . +Is there anything as good as a hot fudge sundae ? +No way ! Do you have a flavors you don't like ? +I don't like ice cream with too many different flavors in it . +I agree with that , it just doesn't work for me . +I saw garlic ice cream on the menu once . +I think that would be horrible ! +I think I'll stick with a more traditional choice today ! +I heard that ben is forming his own band . +it will be a rock and roll band probably . He ’ s a very good guitarist . +can you play a musical instrument ? If you can , he might ask you to join the band . +I can play drums , but I haven ’ t played for a while . I ’ m not sure I ’ d be good enough to play in a band . +I wish I could play a musical instrument . I love music . +nowadays , you can be a DJ . You can mix dance music . You don ’ t need to be able to play musical instrument or sing . +I'd love to try it.but the equipment is expensive and it was still take a lot of practice . +you know , you could probably get a computer program that would help you . You already have a computer , so you could use that to help you mix some music . +that ’ s a great idea . I ’ ll search for some information on the internet . If it ’ s possible to do , the internet will have some information about it . +Hey , Frank , there is that Janet Check . +Wow , what a great burd ! +She sure knows how to strut her stuff . +She's a real turn-on our rights . +And look out she's dressed . +Yeah , I noticed . She must be really loaded . +No way . Her old man is rich . He buys her anything she wants . +Lucky her . Anyway , I think that is just as beautiful . +I think you've lost it . +Well , that's my opinion . +I admit that she is much prettier than Kate . +Oh , there is no comparison . Now we are talking but ugly . +At least we agree on that . Let's go and get a drink . +I'm going to America . +Any idea when you'll leave ? +I hope before the end of the month . +Let me know when you find out . +Who is Cindy ’ s husband ? +Cindy ’ s husband is Ron . +How many children do Cindy and Ron have ? +They have two children-one son and one daughter-as well as one daughter-in-law and one son-in-law . +Do they have any grandchildren ? +Yes , they have three grandchildren-one girl and two boys . +Does their daughters get along well with her in-laws ? +Yes , she gets along with them quite well . +Do they have a large family ? +Their family is very similar to Cindy and Ron ’ s family . +What do you think of doctor Thompson ? +I feel confident of his ability to cure my daughter's disease . +How can you be so sure ? +I can tell from the way he spoke to us . +Never believe his words . +Where do you live , Kim ? +I live in an apartment downtown . +Oh , that's convenient , but ... how much crime is there ? +Not much . But there is a lot of traffic . I can't stand the noise sometimes ! Where do you live ? +. I have a house in the suburbs . +Oh , I bet it's really quiet . But is there much to do there ? +No , not much . In fact , nothing ever really happens . That's the trouble . +Hey . Let's trade places one weekend ! +OK . Great idea ! +I must be going now . +Really ? Can ’ t you stay a little longer ? +No , I really must go now . My family are expecting me home soon . +Be seeing you then . +See you . +Good morning , Jerry . How's everything ? +Fine , just fine . Thanks . +Doing anything for lunch ? +Well , as a matter of fact , I've got a lunch date with Bob Thomas . +It's awfully hot . +You can say that again . +It seems a glorious day today . +I agree ... +It's beginning to spot . +Just now we both thought it would be fine . +I don't think I'm getting better . +Believe me , you really look much better than before . +I'm still not sure whether I can recover from it . +did you get my email ? +I certainly did . Do you want to come in and give me some feedback about your weekend ? +sure . +how did the business trip go ? +well , to be honest , nothing is more stressful than going on a business trip with our boss . +I understand . The last time I went on a business trip with the boss , I didn't even have enough to eat ! +I also think the company is pretty cheap with travel expenses . I spent half of the weekend on a train ! Surely they could have afforded to buy a few plane tickets ! +our company is quite conscious of the environmental problems that frequent flying causes . +I see . Well , then perhaps they could give me a few days off after a business trip . It was really tiring for me . +I can ask the boss about giving you the day off today . +thank you . I can't imagine getting much done today . I'm just too exhausted ! +no problem . Did you bring any gifts back for your department ? +no , should I have ? +Hello ! +Is that the box-office ? +Yes . +I'd like to book two tickets for the film ' Jane Eyre ' for this evening , please . +Just a minute please . Oh , I'm sorry , all the tickets for tonight have been sold out . +What a pity ! How about tomorrow evening ? +Oh , you're lucky , there are just two tickets left . Do you want to take them ? +Wonderful , I'll take them . +OK , your name and telephone number please . +Wang Min . Telephone number is 13811658 . Can I pick the tickets this afternoon ? +Yes , of course . +Thank you very much . +I really like the book you lent me the other day . +I'm glad you like it . +And thank you very much for letting me keep it so long . +Not at all . +Everyone in our class enjoyed it too.It ' s very interesting . +Oh , I'm glad . +Would you mind me keeping it for another three days ? +No problem . +I've got to go home and study . +For what ? +The test tomorrow . +If you don't know it by now , you might as well not bother studying . +How did you first meet ? +My roommate invited both of us to dinner . +Was it love at first sight ? Did you fall in love with her the first time you met her ? +Yes ! The first time I saw her I knew we would fall in love . +What is the correct time , please ? +It ’ s exactly twelve minutes past seven . +When will you lecture begin ? +Begin at 9 o ’ clock sharp . +You ’ re a wonderful person , Kathleen . +So you are . +And I ’ m so honored that you would want to be with me because you would never be with anyone who wasn ’ t truly worthy . +I feel exactly the same way with you . +Don ’ t , don ’ t , don ’ t , don ’ t say that . That , that makes it worse . +What ? You don ’ t love me ? Me , either . +You don ’ t love me ? +No . +But we ’ re so right for each other . +I know , I know . Well , is there some , is there someone else ? Oh , that woman on television , Sydney Ann . +Mary , can you help me set the table ? +Sure . +This is usually my chore . +I don't mind helping . +We need to set the table for four . +So that's four plates , four forks , four knives , and four spoons ? +That's right . Mom didn't know where to buy chopsticks for you . +Don't be silly ! I know how to use knives and forks . +Excuse me . would you lend me some wreckers +Until when ? +Until Monday or Tuesday next week . +No problem . +Shall we go to cinema this evening ? The new blockbuster starring mel gibson is showing . It ’ s supposed to be really good . +What kind of movie is it ? I don ’ t like many of his movies , actually . +It ’ s a thriller . It has Julia Roberts playing the female lead . +I like thrillers and I like Julia Roberts , so it might be interesting . I read a review today and the critic didn ’ t seem to be very impressed . +What did the critic say ? +He didn ’ t say it was bad , but he said that it wasn ’ t as good as it could have been , particularly as there were some good actors and actresses in it . +The movie starts at eight o ’ clock , so we have plenty of time to eat and get ready . +Good . Dinner is nearly ready and I ’ d like to watch the news before we go . The Oscars were last night and I want to see the results . +I won ’ t spoil your enjoyment by telling you who won . There were a few surprises . +Do you have the five dollars I lent you yesterday ? +Oh I forgot ! I'll run home real quickly and bring you the money . +You don't have to go right away . +I'd hate for you to think I was lazy in returning your money . +What are your hobbies , Mr . Green ? +I like collecting stamps . +But it's an expensive hobby , isn't it ? +Yes , you're right . What do you like to do in your spare time ? +I usually play chess with my friends . But I like playing basketball best . +Do you play basketball well ? +No , I'm not very good at it . I play just for the fun of it . +Shall we have a game together some day ? +OK , that'd be very nice . +Are you satisfied with the dishes ? +Great , the lamb stew tastes incredible . +I like it , too . I like the fish especially . It's so fresh , and the flavoury is kind of like for a fresh water fish . +Yes , the food here deserves its reputation . Chinese food is one of my favorites 。 +If you like , I'll take you to a new restaurant next time , I just heard about it from my friend , and he was just raving about it . It's such a great Sichuan cuisine . Would you like to try that ? +Sure , I'd love to . I heard Sichuan cuisine is very hot , I think I definitely love it . +Great , I love hot food too . +Well , let's finish this great dinner first . +You said it . +Hey Michelle . Good to see you . Are you at lunch ? +Oh hi Jim . No I just got back . I thought you were on vacation now . +No , I wish I was ! I just got back from Spain actually . +Oh wonderful ! Have you been there before or was it your first time ? +My first time . I've traveled around Europe a lot , but this was my first time to Spain . It was amazing , and the weather was just beautiful ! No rain , and just sun , sun , sun ... +I'm so jealous of you . I've never been anywhere in Europe . I've always dreamed of traveling around and seeing the sights . +Well , I really recommend Spain . You really should go . Anyway , it's been great to catch up , but I must be going , this is my floor . Speak again soon I hope . +That looks like an interesting book . +It is . It ’ s got pictures of interesting building from all over the world , with brief descriptions of how they were build , their purpose , and so on . +There are the pymeids . It ’ s easy to see how they got that name ! they don ’ t have smooth sides though . +They don ’ t now , but most of them did originally . There ’ s picture of the pentagon in the United States . It ’ s very distinctive with its five sides . +Look at that cylindrical office building . I ’ Ve never been seen one that shape before . +Yes . Usually only towers are cylindrical in shape . +Tv towers are usually thicker at the bottom than at the top . They ’ re not perfectly cylindrical . +This is the world ’ s largest sports stadium . It ’ s a massive oval . +What sports do they play there ? +It says here that it ’ s mainly used for big football matches and athletics meetings . +Is that building a perfect cube ? +According to the book , it is . I ’ Ve never seen a building that is a perfect cube . Look at the building . From the air , it looks like a square with a semi-circle attached to each of its four sides . What kind of building is it ? +Is says here that it ’ s a war memorial . Now , there ’ s a distinctive structure-the stomium in Brussels . See ? It consists of several connected by cylinders . I believe you can go up and down inside it . +Yes , sir ? +I hate to complain , but this soup is too salty . +I'm very sorry.sir . I'll ask the manager to take care of this . +Are the galaxies in the universe moving through space ? +No , the galaxies sit more or less passively in the space around them . But not too much . As the space between galaxies expands , it carries the galaxies further apart - like raisins in an expanding dough . +But I heard that our Milky way galaxy may one day collide with a neighboring galaxy . If galaxies are moving apart from each other , how can they collide ? +Well , the universe is a chaotic place , and the gravity from one galaxy , or from a group of galaxies , may disturb the motion of its near neighbors , causing them to collide . However , on average , when you compare two large enough chunks of space , the galaxies in one are moving away from the galaxies in the other . +Wow , you're really informative . Thanks a lot . +You're welcome . +Isn ’ t he the best instructor ? I think * he ’ s so hot . Wow ! I really feel energized , don ’ t you ? +I swear , I ’ m going to kill you for this . +What ’ s wrong ? Didn ’ t you think it was fun ? ! +Oh , yeah ! I had a blast ! I love sweating like a pig with a bunch of pot bellies who all smell bad . Sorry , I ’ m just not into this health kick . +Oh , no , get off it . It wasn ’ t such a killer class . You just have to get into it . Like they say , no pain , no gain . +I am wiped out . Thank you . +Look , next time get yourself some comfy shoes . You ’ re gonna come back again with me , aren ’ t you ? +Never ! But thank you for inviting me . +Come on . You ’ ll feel better after we hit the showers . +I like the design of the coat . +But I like its color . +Anyway , it's my ideal coat . I'll take it . +I'll take one , too . +Do you have any hobbies ? +Yes . I like gardening . +Oh , that's interesting . Do you have a garden ? +Yes , follow me . Here it is . +Your garden is really lovely . +Thank you . +Do you take care of them everyday ? +Yes , I do . +Don't you feel dull ? +I don't . I like the work . +What ? You golden watch is lost ? +Yeah . I just can't find it anywhere . +It's an open book that it was stolen by the man in black . +Let's get it back . +Good morning , Miss . +Morning . Can I help you ? +Yes . I'd like to know how to use the library . You know , I'm a new student here . +All you need is your student identification card to check out books . +Do you have much experience with kids ? +Yes . I have three sons . Actually I also have a grandson . +To tell you the truth , sometimes I regret having a baby so early . I have been making so many sacrifices just because my husband insisted on keeping the baby . +I understand . I was in your position before . At that time I couldn ’ t depend on anyone taking care of the children for me . My husband seldom stayed at home . +What about your mother ? Did she help you ? +Yes , she did a little . But you see , Americans are different from Chinese . You can ’ t depend on your own mother to be a full-time babysitter . She could baby-sit only once or twice a week . That ’ s it . I had to care for them most of the time . +I see . So if my little family goes to America , I would end up taking care of my child all the time . My husband would have to make the bread for us . I just don ’ t know how I would get some education and be able to get a job some day . +Don ’ t worry . You can take night classes . I did that when I had kids . And soon your child will be old enough to attend kindergarten . Then you could find a job and work . +Sounds not so easy to me . When that happens , I will be too old to learn . +No . You see , I went back to school to get my Master ’ s Degree when I was in my thirties . You won ’ t be older than that . +Hey , Daniel , how's it going ? +Hey , Daddy , today I had really a fantastic history class . +Wow , it's so strange for you to say things like that . What had happened ? +We've learnt the story of Zheg He Sailing to West Ocean . He is a real great navigator . +Did your teacher tell you the route he took ? +Yeah , he , with his fleet , came across the Indian Ocean , and arrived at the east coast of Africa . +Great , do you still remember when he started his voyage ? +Of course , that is from 1405 to 1433 , which is in Ming dynasty . +Good , by the way , do you finish reading the book Robinson Crusoe I've bought for you ? +Not yet , you know I have a lot of homework to do . +You should speed up , because the story of Robinson can give you a better understanding about what you learned today . +OK , great Daddy , after supper , I'll embark on it . +That's my boy ! Wait , Daniel , when is Pirates of the Caribbean on ? +Is it about Captain Jack Sparrow , who wants to find the treasure on the sea ? +Exactly , now , tell me the time . +I won't tell you , unless you promise to let me watch it with you . +Most of our customers are foreigners . How many foreign languages can you speak , Elizabeth ? +Two . French and Spanish . +And how well can you speak them ? +Well , French was my best subject at school . I can read and write it pretty well . +And how about your Spanish ? +Well , it's not as good as my French . I can speak it reasonably well , but my written Spanish isn't very good . +I see . Well , we have a lot of Spanish customers , but you wouldn't need to write any Spanish here . +In that case , I'm fit for the position I think . +This historian is famous in the field of Tang Dynasty . +So he always sits above the salt when there is a seminar about it . +Right , to be famous to be respectable in some way . +You got it . +He has lots of hobbies . +And he ’ s always busy with his pictures and roses . +He ’ s won a dozen prizes for his pictures and roses . +But as for his business in the city ... +He lets his cousins look after his business . +He sounds more like an artist than a businessman . +Good morning , Miss Li . +Morning , Mike . +I ’ m sorry that I was absent yesterday . +I ’ Ve already got your certificate for sick-leave . How do you feel today ? +I feel much better now . +Have you received the reading material handed out yesterday ? +I ’ Ve already got it . Thanks . +I will explain it in detail in the next class . Could you preview it ? +I will . +We'd better leave now . +I beg your pardon ? +Where are we headed now ? +To a historic coffeehouse . It's got a little Mafia story to it . +Awesome . Was someone killed there ? +Oh , yeah , while he was eating , and he was a pretty famous Don . +Cool ! Is it safe for us to eat there though ? +Sure . In fact , nowadays , you'll see more tourists there than Italians . There are Mafia tours nowadays that go there to eat . +How is everything going with your girlfriend ? +Didn't I tell you ? It's over ! +Oh , I am sorry to hear that . I did't know that you had split up . What happened ? +It was a few things . The first thing that happened was that we were supposed to go out for a romantic dinner for our one year anniversary , but she stood me up ! +Really ! Did she tell you why she didn't show up ? +No , but I ended up finding out later that night when I saw her drinking with another man at a club near my home ! +What was she thinking ? Did you confront her about it when you saw her ? +I wanted to , but I knew that if I spoke to her , I'd just blow up at her , so I decided to just go home . I called her later that the night , but she didn't answer the phone . +I can't believe she would do that to you . It's so dishonest-and rude ! +I know . I still haven't heard from her . The good thing is that I'm so angry with her that I don't feel sad about not having her around . +I bet you that she regrets what she's done . You are such a good catch ! She really lost out , didn't she ? +I guess so . +So I don't think you'll have a problem finding another girlfriend . There are plenty of fish in the sea ! +How do you usually spend your leisure time ? I mean , do you have any special interests out of your job ? +Of course . You see , almost everyone has some kind of hobby . +Yeah , you ’ re quite right and what ’ s your hobby ? +I like taking photos out of doors . +Oh , photography , It ’ s really a good hobby . +Yes , I usually develop and print all my own photos . +You yourself have a photo studio ? +Yes , simple as it is . It does work . +Have we handed out all the water ? +Yes . So what else to do now ? +Nothing . The teacher said the only thing left was to get back all the disposable cups later . +I see . How do you like the game ? +Terrific . There is one girl said , It is the best game I've ever watched . +Who do you think do better ? +Clive was really outstanding . Not only he put on a big show himself , but also he inspired the whole team . +Exactly . He is unbelievable . +On the other hand , I think the other team won everyone's respect . The leader said they could have crumpled at the beginning , but they just carried on and never lost their cool . +They were really tough . +The thing I like most about them is that they did not play with a heavy heart even though at that time the odds seemed to be against them . +I can't agree more . Okay , time is up . Let's do the last thing . +I'd like to reserve two seats for tomorrow night . +Would you like orchestra seats ? +Isn't there anything less expensive ? +Not unless you want the matinee . +Let's do something different today . +Like how ? +I would like you to give me a different hair style . +What did you have in mind ? +Give me a short haircut . +Do you know how short you want your hair to be ? +I want you to cut it to a few inches long . +That's pretty short . Are you sure about this ? +I've had this idea for some time now . +I'm going to do it , but you have to be sure you really want me to . +This is what I want . +Fine then . Let's get started . +We can go to the cinema or say at home watching TV , what's it to be ? +As far as I'm concerned , staying at home is more comfortable than going to the movies . +Thanks , dear . I feel so tired after a whole day's work . +I am thinking about resigning from my current job . +Have you thought about it seriously ? +Yes , I have been thinking about it for quite a while . Now I finally make up my mind to leave . I have given my resignation letter to our boss last Friday . +Ok , did you find a new company ? +Yes , I will move on to XYZ Company . +Good for you , but your leaving will be a great loss to us . It is so nice to work with you . +Thanks . I had learned so much from you and our colleagues . +Hi , Francis . +Oh , Mike . How are you doing ? +Not bad . It seems you are super yogurt lover . You have so many in your cart . +Well , I prefer yogurt to all the other drinks . Have you ever tried a kind of yogurt with old milk in it ? It tastes great and very healthy too . +Oh , I haven ’ t noticed that before . Maybe I will try next time . +Why don ’ t you go ahead of me ? I have more items than you . +Thank you . In fact , I am in a hurry . My wife is waiting for me at the parking lot . +You ’ re welcome . It was good seeing you again . +Me too . Have a great day . +Hi ! What are you watching ? +It ’ s a program about islam . It ’ s very interesting . +Wow ! So many people ! Where are they and what are they doing ? +They are muslims on a pilgrimage to mecca . Muslims call this pilgrimage “ haj ” . +Why do they go there ? +Muslims believe that every man who is able should go on a haj at least once in his life . Mecca is the spiritual centre of the muslim faith . +When muslims pray , they face towards mecca . +That ’ s right . Unfortunately , so many people go on the haj each year that there are often stamped and people get killed . +I heard about that . The pilgrims must walk around a large , sacred black stone . +That ’ s right . That ’ s when accidents often happen . The Saudi government tries to limit the number of pilgrims , to reduce the chances of accidents . +Pilgrimages are common in many faiths . +Yes . In England , Christian pilgrims might go to Canterbury and many Christians go to the Vatican on pilgrimages . +Isn ’ t there a place in france where people go to get healed ? +I think that place is Lourdes . There are many stories of people being healed after visiting there . +Do you think that there is something magical about that place ? +Personally . I think that people believe they will be healed and that faith causes a change in their mind that cures them . I don ’ t think place is magical in any way . +Why do you want to go to the U . S . ? +I want to enrich my knowledge in management . The United States is an ideal place for me . +What will you do when you come home ? +Before I work in the office , I was a teacher . So if possible , I'd like to come back to some school to pass on my new knowledge to more people . +Do you feel your English is good enough for the course ? +Yes . You know , English is my present working language . Besides , I scored very high in TOEFL . +Who will be your supporter during your stay in the States ? +I will support myself . In recent years , I have saved enough money for my study in the U . S . +How long do you expect to stay there ? +I will be there for three years . +I don't know what to say . This can't be happening . Here's the obituary . +It's really there ? This all seems so surreal-like it's all one big nightmare . +But it explains why Taylor isn't answering and Femi took time off from work . +Poor Femi . Taylor's death must have made her realize that she still cared for him . +This says the viewing is at Myers Funeral Home today until five . +It's already half past four . We should go and pay our respects . Taylor's family will be there . +Dear Anna . I really love you . +I love you , too . +I want to take care of you forever . Will you marry me ? +Oh . My God ! Are you serious ? +Am I too abrupt ? Did I scare you ? Or you don't want ... +No ! I have been expecting this moment for a long time . I mean my answer is ' yes ' . +Oh , I'm so happy . I will try my best to love you and protect you . I promise . +I trust you . We'll be happy . +Let me wear you this diamond ring . +It's so beautiful . +Balista , pull me a ristretto . +What ? You're suddenly some kind of coffee snob now ? What's a ristretto anyway ? +It's basically a very strong espresso . Half the water pulled through the same amount of beans . Pure coffee essence . +Sounds like it must be just full of caffeine . I want one of those instead ! +You fiend . It's about the flavor , not the fix . Why don't you just crush some caffeine pills and start doing lines ? +The Spring Festival is drawing close . By then we will have five days off . I am expecting it . +Can you tell me something about the Spring Festival ? +Just like you celebrate Christmas , we celebrate our lunar New Year's Day , the Spring Festival . It is a time for the family members and relatives to have a get-together . +Christmas is also a special time for us to have the family reunion and to express our best wishes to those we love and those who love us in the coming new year . +Christmas has more religious nature , while our Spring Festival is a more traditional holiday . On the New Year's Eve , we have a big dinner called ' Family Reunion Dinner ' . One of the traditional food to eat at the dinner is dumplings . After that , the adults usually sit chatting , watching TV , or playing cards . +What are the children doing ? +They usually go outside to play firecrackers and fireworks . +I heard one of the purposes to do it is to frighten the devils so they will not come to do any harm to people in the next year . +Perhaps it is like what people told you . At 24 hours midnight , the time when the New Year really comes , we exchange ' Happy New Year ' to each other , and parents and grandparents will take out small packages wrapped with red paper , in them are some what we call ' Lucky Money . +Who will get the money ? +Of course the children . +We ’ re going to the movies . Will you join us ? +I ’ m very sorry I can ’ t . +Why not ? +I ’ m afraid I have some business to attend to . +Then would you like to have lunch with us ? +I ’ d love to but I have to help John with his math problems right now . +Would you like me to give you a lift ? +No , thanks . His home is not far and I can walk there . +Come on . It ’ s no trouble at all . +Ok , thank you . +Bob refused all his classmates ' invitation . +I really couldn't understand him . +He is surely a hard nut , nobody likes approaching him . +We'd better leave him alone . +Are your ready to go to the supermarket ? +Yes , are you ? +I've got my money and my keys , so I'm ready . +You do know that it's absolutely freezing out , don't you ? I'd put a coat on if I were you . +It wasn't cold out this morning . +Well , it's started raining since then . Look out the window ! It's pouring rain out there ! +Well , I guess we'd better grab our umbrellas then , as well . +Have a look outside for me . Does that look like hail to you ? +It does , actually . Maybe we should wait for it to clear up before we go shopping . +That's a good idea . But maybe we should move the car so that the hail doesn't dent it . +Ok . I'll go move the car if you turn the heat on . It's a bit chilly in here . +How long do you think this hailstorm is supposed to last ? +I don't know . The weatherman didn't say anything about this in his weather report last night . +Maybe we should turn on the news in case it's supposed to get worse . +I don't think we have anything to worry about . Do you want to put on a cup of tea as well ? +Good idea . That will help us to warm up . +If I'm not back in ten minutes , come and find me . +Alright . I'll have a cup of tea waiting for you . +At the Beijing Olympics , all four table tennis events were all-Chinese finals . A clean sweep again ! +Yes . All international ping-pong tournaments have become a demonstration of Chinese supremacy in the sport . +Do you know any secrets to China's success ? +In the first place , I think the whole nation is just fond of the game . It is well grounded with the mass . With huge numbers of people playing ping-pong , we can always spot a handful of potential world champions . +So , the national ping-pong team must be a highly competitive membership . +Sure . There is a careful mechanism for selecting players from provincial teams , and those lucky dogs have to observe strict rules . +For example ? +They are subject to hard training . And you know what , for a player on the national team , personal affairs are supposed to take a back seat to training and competitions . They are not even allowed to talk relationships with each other . +Oh , dear ! It's an encroachment on individual rights ! +Well , ping-pong is our national sport , and we just have to keep winning one honor after another . That's why many people think such rules acceptable . After all , they are funded out of taxpayers'money . +I can ’ t believe my English teacher is making me read pride and prejudice ! +Why not ! It ’ s a classic . In fact , it ’ s one of my favorite novels . +But it ’ s so old . +Don ’ t judge a book by its cover . Do you Kwon what it ’ s about ? +No , not at all . +First of all , it ’ s a romance novel , set in the early 19th century . +I didn ’ t realize it was a romance novel . What ’ s the main storyline ? +It ’ s basically about a father who tried to marry off one of his five girls . +Why does he want to do that ? +Since he doesn ’ t have a son , he hopes that one of the girls will marry a wealthy man . That way , all of his daughters will be cared for . +Won ’ t they get his inheritance ? +No , that ’ s the problem . Though they are well-off , once he dies , his house will go to his cousin . So , when he dies , the girls will have nothing . +I see . This sounds interesting ! Maybe my teacher isn ’ t so horrible after all . +So , are you going to read the novel or watch the movie ? +There ’ s movie ? My teacher didn ’ t tell me that ! +That ’ s probably because she wants you to read the book first . +It would take a lot less time ... +How about this . When you finish the book . I ’ ll get the movie and watch it with you . +Ok . That sounds like a deal . +Hello ! +Hi , Jenny ! Jason here . It's great to hear your voice again . +Hi , Jason ! Long time no see . How's the hotel ? +It's pretty nice , but I'm going to start looking for an apartment soon . Hotel living is not for me . +I know what you mean . +How about you ? When are you leaving for Berkeley ? +I am leaving in two weeks . +So soon ! Well , I'd really like to see you again before you leave . Would you like to go out with me on Friday ? I'd like to take you to dinner and maybe a movie or something afterwards . +Oh , I am sorry , Jason . I've already got plans for Friday evening . How about Saturday ? +Saturday is fine . I'll make dinner reservations for 7 o ’ clock . Is that ok ? +7 is fine with me . +Great . I'll pick you up at six thirty . +I'll be waiting . +When do you want to have the open house party ? +How about next Friday ? +Friday sounds good . +How do you feel about hiring that clown to come and entertain the kids ? +I like that . Then the adults will be more free to mingle and relax . +That's what I was thinking . +I'm so excited . Finally , a yard of my own . +Do you feel like a king in your castle ? +Dad , I'm scared . +Take it easy , honey . It's just raining cats and dogs . +But , dad , it's stormy outside . +Honey , it's just windy and raining outside . +Ar ! Dad , the power went out . +I'm so glad that the spring festival is near at hand . +me . too i like the festival best of all . +Think of the big face down the eve , hmm . +And special TV programs , fire crackers and the games to play . +Hey , do you know any mystery belief serve the festival ? +Such as ... +You know why fire crackers are set off in festival . +Why ? to welcome the new year of course . +And also to frighten away evil spirits . +Really ? +And my parents say the whole year will be as good or as bad as new year day itself and bad or rude words on the day will bring a bad year . +Oh , that's why my parents never scold me that day . they always try to avoid tears and quarrels . +Mary likes mountain climbing . +What ? No kidding ! +Yes , she's a professional climber . +I can't believe it ! +You must be feeling terrible for Mary . +Yes , she's been like this for two weeks . +I'm worried that she can't catch up with her class . +So am I.The doctor says she'll get over in a month . +You wouldn't believe what I got in the mail today ! +what's that ? +it's a letter from Ray and Sue in Shanghai ! +have you read it yet ? +no , I thought I'd wait until you got home . +go on , read it out loud . +ok . It says , " Dear Jessica . It was so good to receive you letter . I sounds like you and Riley are settling into your new home with ease ... " +when did you send her a letter ? +just a few weeks ago . Sue and I send letters to each other often . +I didn't know anyone did that any more . Ok , go on . +ok ... I'm going to have to skip over this section . It's girl-talk . +that's fine with me . +oh . It's actually all rather personal . +well , skip over all of that and read me the rest . +ok , it just says , ball , blah , blah ... " Ray and I look forward to seeing you in June . Write soon . With love , Sue . " +are we going to see them in June or are they coming to see us ? +didn't I tell you ? We're going to Shanghai to stay with them in June . +oh , I guess I missed that . +men ! +Jack , what do you think about the election ? +I think the campaign is a blockbuster . +How many people have flung their hats into the ring ? +Finally 100 candidates ran for one seat . +Who do you think will be elected ? +It's hard to say . They all had an active campaign to round up the votes . +I think Mr . White would be elected , you know he has spent millions in this campaign and he blasted the opposition in his campaign speech . +Maybe . Who knows ? +May doesn't get along very well with her mother-in-law . +Yeah . That's just what is troubling John . +Poor John ! He is bettering bother sides of this bread . +This situation isn't easy to handle . +Can you tell me the time ? I've got an appointment at 8: 30 . +It's 8 sharp by my watch . +Gee ! There's only thirty minutes to go . +Holly , I just heard some terrible news . +Me , too . I overheard someone say Taylor has a brain tumor . +What ? No , I heard that he has stomach cancer . His ex-girlfriend said it . +That could explain all his stomachaches . He's trying to hide it from us . +Maybe that's why he didn't show up at the potluck . Have you seen him ? +No , but someone said he was in the men's room puking . Follow me ! +Hi , Kate . +Hi , Don . What a surprise ! +Yeah , I saw someone walking like you , but I wasn ’ t sure . We haven ’ t seen each other for how long ? Almost three months ? But you look quite different now . +Have you noticed what has changed ? +Oh , you look quite slender and more vivacious . What have you been taking ? Are you on a diet ? +Yes . I ’ m on a diet , but I ’ Ve not taken anything . I just eat less and exercise more . And it really worked in the past three months . I ’ Ve lost twelve pounds . +Wow ! That ’ s great . I sincerely want to achieve my weight loss goals , but it ’ s difficult for me to keep up the exercise . Also you know , old habits are hard to break . +What kind of exercise do you think I do ? I just go to dance everyday after work . I ’ m taking an amateur dance class . I dance two hours everyday . +Dance ? You only go dancing ? That ’ s not hard . I can do that . +Sure . Join my class next week . +What food do you fancy ? +I feel like something good to eat . +How about going to Joe's Restaurant . +Hey , that sounds a good idea . +Hello , Jack.It ' s good of you to come . +The pleasure is mine.Happy birthday and many happy returns of the day ! +Thank you , Jack.To be frank , I'd rather forget my birthday . +Don't be silly . +Sam , we are hard up for the everyday expenses . When can you find a job . +I'm looking for it , but you see , the market is hard up for jobs , too . +You liar , I saw you again in the inn . I bet you don't want to work at all . +I'm sorry , but I can't find the book you lent me . I guess I have lost it . +Don't worry about it . +I really feel bad about it . Let me buy you a new one . +No . Don't be silly . I wouldn't dream of letting you do that . +What's your favorite magazine ? +Off hand , I'd say the Reader's Digests is my favorite . +What kind of magazine is it ? +It's instructive and inspiring . +Really ? It is a weekly , isn't it ? +No , it's a semimonthly . +Does it enjoy popularity among the young generation ? +Yes , it's so popular that it's sold out as soon as it reaches the bookstores . +Oh , I think I should try to read one . +Hello ? Is that Mark ? +How are you ? I haven't heard from you in ages . +I've been overseas , So have you been busy lately ? +Pretty busy.So are you back for good ? +Yes , I was just wondering when you'd have time to go fishing . +Well , I'm not working on the weekend , so we could grab some beer , ice and our fishing rods , and head out to the river . +That sounds good . I've missed you my friend . +Same here . +Thanks for inviting me to your friend ’ s wedding . I was surprised to hear the bride and groom talking to each other that way during the marriage ceremony . Is that common ? +Well , some people use a standard set of words , but many couples today write their own wedding vows . +Your tradition of throwing rice as they got into their car was interesting , but it didn't look like real rice to me . +It wasn't . It was birdseed . We don't throw rice anymore because someone discovered that birds come along and eat the rice and have trouble digesting it . +Oh , I didn't think of that . Well , this reception reminds me of weddingparties back in China . Plenty of food and drink , music and dancing , and interesting traditions . +Wait until you see what happens next ! The bride is getting ready to throw her bouquet . Let's go over and watch . +She ’ s got quite a crowd around her . Oh , look ! That little girl caught it ! +She ’ s my friend ’ s ten-year-old niece . I guess there won ’ t be another wedding in this family for a long time . +We are doing ' Secret Santa ' at the office again this year . +Whose name did you pick ? +I got Jacob . Any ideas what to get him ? +Booze ! +Yeah , you ’ re right . Can ’ t go wrong with that . +So , Monica , what do you feel like doing this afternoon ? +Actually , I had a perfect plan for this afternoon , but it is totally ruined by the sand storm . I woke up this morning and found it was sunny . So I called Lucy and asked her to go shopping with me . We were going to look for a new purse . Now it turned out to be like this . Neither of us wants to go to outside anymore . +That ’ s too bad . I hate sand storms too . It can be worse than any kind of bad weather . +What ’ s wrong with climate ? Anyway , I think the sand storm happens more frequently these days than the years before . Can ’ t people do something to stop it ? +It is not an easy job . The government is working on it . Lots of trees have been planted in the north of the capital . Also , methods of generating rain are being used by the government to fight against the drought . But of course , it will not work overnight . So , have you come out with a new plan for today ? +My new plan is to wait for the end of the sand storm and clean my apartment . +Hey ! What's up ? +Hi , John ! I haven't seen you for ages . +Yeah , I've been out of town . +So how have you been ? +Great ! Work is really busy now , but it's fun . +Bob refused all his classmates ' invitations . +I really couldn't understand him . +He is surely a hard nut , nobody likes approaching him . +We'd better also leave him alone . +Hey , Paul , why the long face ? +It's difficult to explain . +Try me . +Well , I had a terrible day of work , I'm thinking of quiting my job . +Take it easy , maybe tomorrow will be different . +I don't know , I can't stand my job these days . +Cheer up , I hope you'll feel better soon . +I give up ! I simply can't learn French ! +Why do you say that ? I think you're making a lot of progress . +No , I'm not . I try and try and I still can't speak it very well . +Learning any language takes a lot of effort . But don't give up . Why don't we practise those dialogues together ? +Good idea . That might help . +Would you like to go to a party tonight ? +That sounds like a good idea . +Would 7:00 be OK ? +That's fine . I'm looking forward to it . +Hello , I'm Jack . Are you Christina ? +Yes I am . Nice to meet you , Jack . +Are you from Italy , Christina ? +No , I am German . I live in Munich . +Really , I went to Munich last week . +And did you like it ? +Oh , yes . It is a fantastic city . And I like German food as well . +And where are you from , Jack ? +I am from California in the United States . But I am now studying in England . +What are you studying ? +I am studying languages . This year I am doing German and Italian . +Oh , excellent . Why don't we talk in German for a while then ? +hi , Charlie ! What are you reading ? +hi , bob . I ’ m reading a biography ? +who ’ s it about ? +it ’ s about bob Dylan . +who is he ? +he ’ s a famous American musician . +who ’ s the author ? +it was written by Howard sounds . +what do you think about it ? +it ’ s great ! I ’ Ve learned a lot form reading it . +can I read it when you ’ re done ? +sure , bob ! I ’ m on chapter 12 now , so I ’ m almost finished . +how many chapters does the book have ? +there are 15 chapters in total . +when do you think you ’ ll have finished reading it ? +I should be done by Friday . I ’ ll give it to you in class then . +thanks . Charlie ! +no problem . Bob . +Whip me if I get below 80 marks out of 100 ! +Take it easy , Jim . Your mother didn't mean it ! Need any help ? +Yes . Can you help me remember how to spell ' beautiful ' ? +Where are you planning on transferring to ? +I can ’ t seem to make a decision . +Where do you want to go ? +I honestly have no idea . +You haven ’ t thought about it ? +I like it here at PCC . +Why don ’ t you just continue going to PCC ? +I like that idea . +It ’ s a great school . +I completely agree . +So , have you made your decision yet ? +I ’ m staying right where I ’ m at . +Any plans tonight ? +Not really , do you ? +Well , I am wondering if we took a hang-out for a drink or something . You know , I just came back from a really tough interview . I was quite nervous during the interview . I really want to have the job . Right now , I am still a little on the edge . I am not sure if I could convince them during the interview . +Take it easy . It is all over now . How was it going , anyway ? +I don ’ t know . I think I did well in the paper exams . I was prepared to answer a lot of questions , but they didn ’ t ask those as I expected . To my surprise , the manager tried to talk about the Chinese poesy with me . +That ’ s strange . But probably , it is the new interview technique they call it “ Getting to know you more personally ” . What about your answers ? +Just did my best . +Mary , how was your date with john ? +It's ok . It seems we have a lot in common . +Oh , really . That is great news . What does he look like ? +He is tall and slim , fair-haired . +Sounds like he is pretty cute . What do you think of him ? +He is a nice guy and very considerate . I was impressed with how smart he was and he has a great sense of humor . +Oh , it's love at first sight . When will you see each other again ? +He didn't say , but he said he would call me . +Maybe he is busy with his work . Just wait and try not to think about it too much ! +Oh , steve . Stop it ! I am a bit nervous ! What if he doesn't call ? +Come on , Mary , you're a total catch . I bet he will call you . Don't worry . +Thank you , Steve . You're always so encouraging . +That's what friends are for . +In my opinions , someone else has caused the fire of this house . +Who do you think that has the motive ? +I ’ m not sure now . In any case , let ’ s first make some careful investigations . +OK , murder will out ! +Yeah . +So Dick , how about getting some coffee for tonight ? +Coffee ? I don ’ t honestly like that kind of stuff . +Come on , you can at least try a little , besides your cigarette . +What ’ s wrong with that ? Cigarette is the thing I go crazy for . +Not for me , Dick . +Thank you for your hospitality , Leon . I had a wonderful time ! +You're welcome , Diane . I hope you can visit us again soon . +David , why didn ’ t you clean the room ? +I ’ m not in the mood . +Why are you feeling depressed ? +I was told my girlfriend was speaking ill of me . That ’ s a real let-down . +I don ’ t think she will do such a thing . +But she did and made me disappointed . +Oh , cheer up . A girlfriend is not everything . +But she means a lot to me . +Then forgive her mistake . +Oh . I just can ’ t forget it . +Which university did you graduate from ? +I graduated from Songhua University . +When did you graduate ? +I graduated from it in 2002 . +You are friend of Janet , right ? I am Andrew , Andrew Smith . +Nice to meet you , Andrew . I am Noirin , Noirin O'Neil . +I'm sorry , I didn't quite catch that . +Noirin , N-O-I-R-I-N , it's an Irish name . +Would you like a cigarette ? +No , thanks . I've decided to give up smoking . +Really ? Why ? +Well , it's just that I think if you don't enjoy doing something any more , you should stop doing it . +I see . You mean you don't enjoy smoking any more ? +That's right . You should give it up , too . It's bad for your health . +Stop talking like my mother . That's what she keeps saying . +But it's true . It's a nasty habit . I can't think why I ever started . Anyway , it's obviously got you in its grip ! +What do you mean ? What are you talking about ? +I mean you couldn't give it up ! +Who ? Me ? Could't give up smoking ? Nonsense ! Of course I could ! I know I could ! +How do you know ? +Because I've already proved it . Smoking's the easiest thing in the world to give up . I've done it hundreds of times ! +Do you think Mr . Johnson is a good worker ? +Just between you and me , I think he's lazy . +Haven't you ever seen him working late ? +No , I haven't . +What do you think of smoking ? +It ’ s harmful not only for yourself but for others . +What in your opinion can be done to stop smoking ? +Stop producing cigarettes . +But that ’ ll affect the national economy . +That ’ s right . But I don ’ t think there are better ways . +How about painting a warning on each cigarette packet ? +Maybe it can take effect . +I'm here to express my congratulations to you on your birthday . And I wish you many happy returns of the day . Here is a birthday present for you . +Many thanks for your presence . +How did you spend the weekend ? +I went to a movie with my boyfriend . +Really ? How was it ? +It was great . The director took a lot of care while framing . They say be has good chance at winning the Oscar for best director . Also I like the actors , some really great new young actors . +Oh , yeah ? What's it about ? +Well , it's the classic love story between two people from conflicting backgrounds . But besides a beautiful story , the cinematography is great . There is some really dramatic footage . It's really quite a visual feast . And the soundtrack is moving . +Sounds pretty good . Is it a tragedy ? +The ending is a bit of a surprise . I don't want to ruin it for you . +Oh , I like movies with surprise endings , although , sometimes they can be frustrating . Maybe I should invite my girlfriend to go next weekend . +It would be a really good choice . The movie is very suitable for lovers to see together . I'm sure you won't regret it . +Would you like to come out with me tonight ? +Sorry , I can ’ t . +Tomorrow night , then ? +I ’ d like to . But I ’ m afraid I can ’ t . +I ’ m wondering if you like to go to the theatre then . +That ’ s sounds great . +Ok . How about give me a ring , then ? +No . I ’ d better not . +Why not ? +Because I don ’ t think my husband would like it . Thank you for inviting me anyway . +My goodness ! You ’ re kidding ! +No . I ’ m serious . I ’ m going to quit my job . +That ’ s amazing ! You got a good pay here , didn ’ t you ? +It ’ s true . But I can ’ t show my abilities . +Come on ! Don ’ t be silly ! +Your present job is something better . Why do you change ? +Well . How do you know ? +All of my friends are going out to the lake tonight and I'm going too ! +Over my dead body you are ! +Hello , Anna speaking ! +Hey , Anna , this is Jason . +Jason , where have you been hiding lately ? You know it's been a long time since your last call . Have you been good ? +Yes . How are you , Anna ? +I am fine . What have you been doing ? +Working . I've been really busy these days . I got a promotion . +That's great , congratulations ! +Thanks . I am feeling pretty good about myself too . You know , bigger office , a raise and even an assistant . +That's good . So I guess I'll have to make an appointment to see you . +You are kidding . +How long have you been working there ? +A bit over two years . This is a fast-moving company , and seniority isn ’ t the only factor in deciding promotions . +How do you like your new boss ? +She is very nice and open-minded . +Much better than the last one , huh ? +Yeah . He was a real slave driver . He probably would have loved it if we were robots . +Forget about him . Come over to my house tonight . Let's get drunk . +Good . Tonight 8 o'clock . +8 it is . See you then . +Bye . +Shall we go to a movie tonight ? +That's a good idea.What ' s on ? +Gone with the Wind . +What's it about ? +Sorry , I've no idea . +I never understand why these shops have so much liquor . +What do you mean ? It's because it's much cheaper to buy liquor duty-free . +But why ? Why don't people like to buy shirts duty-free ? Or shoes ? I just don't understand why it's always liquor . +Well , it's because in most countries liquor has a higher tax on it . +You mean liquor has a higher tax than other things ? +Yes , of course . Didn't you know that ? +No , I didn't . How high is the tax ? +Well , it is different in different countries.But it's because of the high tax that buying liquor duty-free is such a good deal . +Why would the government want to tax liquor so much ? +Liquor is considered a luxury item.And also , it is considered as something that isn't very healthy.So if people want to buy it , the government thinks it has the right to tax it . +That's why a lot of people buy cigarettes here too , isn't it ? +Of course . Cigarettes are also taxed very heavily . +What do you plan to do on Sunday morning ? +Nothing special . +How about going to English corner with me ? +Oh , I'd rather not . +Why not ? +You know , I am poor at English , especially spoken English . +That's why you should go there , If you don't dare to speak English owing to the fact that you are afraid of making mistakes , you simply will never learn English . +Why are you walking to and fro in the room ? +I ’ m worrying about the children . After all this is the first time they have been out without us . +Don ’ t worry . They are grown-ups . +I know . But I couldn ’ t help . +Mary , why don't you come to my house this Saturday ? +I don't know . I'll have to ask my host mom . +Come on , Mary . This is America . You make your own decisions here . +But I still have to tell her . +Of course . +Tell you what , give me your phone number . +It's 555-4321 . +Got it . I'll call you later tonight and we can talk about what to do on Saturday . +They must be your parents , what do they do ? +My mother is a professor and my father is a manager . +Do they often take you out ? +No , usually they're very busy . +I went to the doctor yesterday . +I beg your pardon ? +I said I had been to the doctor the day before . +What did he say ? +He said I ' d got the flu . +Oh dear ! What did he tell you to do ? +He told me to stay in bed for ten days . +Ten days ? Would you please repeat it again ? +Yes , ten days . +Have a nice weekend . +Same to you . +It seems to be clearing up . +It's such a nice change . +I really don't think this weather will last . +Let's just hope it doesn't get cold again . +There's a new play tonight . +What's its name ? +' Romeo and Juliet ' . +What is it about ? +It's about their great love . +Sounds interesting . +Of course . Do you want to see it ? +Yes , do you have tickets ? +No , I don't . +Let's go to the theater and buy two tickets now , shall we ? +Good idea . Let's goa +OK . Let's go . +Wow ! What happened to you ? You look sad . +I just lost my job . My boss just told me . +That's unbelievable . Why did this happen ? +I don't understand of myself . It seems they have to save money . +I cant't believe it . You've worked here for years . +Your father looks much younger in the picture . +He was 20 years old then . +How old is he now ? +He's over sixty . +Hello ! Let me introduce myself . My name is Nancy . +Nice to meet you , I'am Simon . I don't think I ' Ve seen you around before . +No , I just started working here at IBM , I am in the sale department . +What do you do there ? +I main market reasearch , and you ? +I ' Ve beaning worked IBM for years . I am vested personnel file system , He is the after sale survise director . he such a nice boss , I like working for him . +Really ? I don't believe I would met him , is he here now ? +Yes , That's him over there - the taller , handsome one . Would you let me introduce you ? +Thanks , that's would be lovely.You ' r right , he is kind and nice looking . +Hey John , did you register for classes yet ? +I register this Friday . +What classes do you plan on taking ? +I really want to take the communication class , but I don't know if it will be available . +Is that class really that popular ? +Yeah . I tried to get in last semester , but it was full by the time I registered . +What other classes are you going to take ? +I still need to take English 201 , but I really don't like writing . +I took that class already . There is a lot of writing , but it's not that bad . +Oh really ? Who was the instructor ? There are like 4 different instructors to choose from . +I had Professor Mahoney . +Is he an easy grader ? +I'm not sure if he is or not , but I thought he was definitely fair . +Do you mind if I ask you what you got ? +Not at all . I got a 3.8 . +Well , what did you get in English 101 last year ? +I got a 4.0 in that class . +Well , I can't compare to you . I got a 3.1 in English 101 . That means if you got a lower grade in English 201 , it must be harder . +It's not what it appears . I actually tried harder in the 101 class . If I put as much effort into the 201 class , I would have received the same grade . +Oh . That helps . Thanks . +Mr . Smith is really a thorough drag . +What is it ? +He's endless talking about stocks almost bores me to death . +Don't you like to know anything about stocks ? +I'm not at all keen on this subject . +Hello , Green here . +Oh , Mr Green , my name is Jianshan . You don't know me , but I'm a friend of David Smith . +Oh , yes . +When I told David I was coming here to live , he give me your number , and suggest that I give your a ring . I was wondering if you could give me some advices . +I'll be please to if I can . What can I do for you ? +Well , I'm looking for a place to live . David thought as you are a @ agent . you might know something is suitable . +Yes , I think I can help you . Why not you come around and see me ? Do you know my office ? +Yes , I've got the address . +Good , where are you now ? +I'm at the post office . +oh , well , that's just a few minutes walk to my office , come around and see me now . +Thank you very much , Mr Green . +Not at all . +Like to come over to our fancy dress party ? +Oh shame ! I have a class tomorrow . +Well , then join us some other time . +Yeah . Thanks . And have fun ! +What are your plans for today ? +Nothing special . +Would you like to have dinner with me at King Hotel at 7pm ? +I'd like to . See you then . +Could you do me a favour ? I don ’ t understand this French document . +Oh , this is over my head . It ’ s too professional . +School has added several new courses to our grade this semester . I have more homework to do now . +What's your favorite course , Daniel ? +I like science most . +Science ? That's a surprise . +Surprise ? +I thought you would like PE . +I do like PE , but I am interested in science . +Are you interested in science ? I can't believe it . +Through this course , I can learn more about the world around us clearly . +Your parents would be happy if they knew that . Because you are always a naughty boy . +Naughty ? I'm naughty ? I'm just clever . So I only do the things I am interested in . +Hope so . +Hi , Tony . Haven ’ t seen you for a long time . How have you been ? +OK , I ’ Ve been looking for a job for days , and I haven ’ t found one yet . It's so hard finding work these days . Have you had any luck ? +Yes , I've got a job , a waiter's job in a restaurant . +Are you well paid ? +Well , $ 10 per hour , but I can keep the tips . That comes to roughly $ 80 every evening +Not bad . +Actually , there's still another opening . If you are interested , you ’ ll surely get it . +That ’ s great ! I ’ ll go there right now and speak with the boss . +There ’ s no rush . You can see him tomorrow . I ’ Ve told him about you . He promised to give you the job . +That was nice of you , Susan . Thanks a lot . +Think nothing of it , Tony . I ’ m sure you ’ d do the same for me . +Could you tell me a bit more about the work there ? I mean , those dos and don'ts . I am a green hand , you know . +First of all , you must be punctual . You should be there before 6 p . m . so that you will have half an hour for preparation changing clothes and things like that . Then , remember you should smile . Smile to your customers all the time . Never pull a long face even If you feel awful that day . Anything else ? Oh , yes . Never argue with your boss . Learn to say ' Yes , sir . ' +Be a yes-man , you mean ? +You may put it that way if you like . Don ’ t worry . You ’ ll have no problem . +I hope not . +Hi , Tim , any news about your job interview ? +Yeah , I didn't get the job in the end . +Oh , what a pity ! +It's ok , that's life . +Hello , Kith , can you and Alice come around this evening ? We prefer your coming . +I think we would be able to make it.What time shall we come ? +About 7 o'clock . +Shall we bring any thing ? Some wine ? +No , not really.Just bring yourselves . We would like to your presence . +Tom , I married Julia last month . Have you already known it ? +No , I haven't . I'm so surprised at the news . +Indeed , we got married too soon . +Congratulations . But have you heard the proverb that if one gets married too hurriedly one may regret it for a long time ? +Yes . However , I believe that marriage comes by destiny . I knew I would marry Julia when I met her at the first time . +How's your married life ? +We're happy together now . +I have to say you're a well-matched couple . +Thank you ! +What did you learn at the workshop you went to yesterday ? Do you think it was worth the investment to go ? +Yeah , I really got a lot of the session . The workshop topic was resolving personal problems . It was led by a professional human resources director . The teacher had a lot of experience , and I think we were all given a really good base to start with . +The workshop was only one afternoon long , do you really think you can learn that much in only a couple of hours ? +It depends on the topic , the teacher , and the way the course is set up . Yesterday , even though we only had a short time to discuss the issues , the workshop got us all thinking . We learned some very basic , but very useful methods of dealing with personnel issues . +Sounds like you really learned a lot . +I did ... I just hope I can implement all these great ideas that we shared . +Every teacher likes him . +They say he can sum up like winking . +How he manages to do that is always a mystery to me . +Maybe he's gifted in that . +There's just one catch . Zina asked me to let you know . +What ? +She promised that we'd be ready to start tracking the Stars.com web site by the end of next week . +What ! ? It'll be a miracle if we're ready by the end of the month ! Is she crazy ? +Yes , I think she is just a little bit crazy . +Crazy is too kind . Insane is more like it . Nuts ! Wacko ! Psycho ! +Would you like to have some more wine ? +Sure.thanks . +Say when . +I ’ m terribly sorry to cause you so much trouble . +That ’ s alright . +Do you know where Helen is ? +She's gone to a flower shop . Today is her husband's birthday . +That reminds me . My wedding anniversary is tomorrow . +What sport do you like the most ? +I like baseball the best . +Me too . Did you play when you were a kid ? +Yeah . I played until I graduated from high school . +What position did you play ? +I think I tried every position , but the last few years , I played third base . +I hate third base . It's scary when the ball is coming at you so fast . +It was scary at first , but after awhile , I got used to it . If you have fast reflexes , then it's not really a problem . What position did you play ? +I played outfield . I hated the infield because I never figured out all the bounces . +I wish I could play again , but there isn't much opportunities around here . +I'm on a softball league . It's not fast pitch , but it's still fun . You wanna join our group ? +When do you guys play ? +We play either Tuesdays or Thursdays . +Sounds pretty fun . I'll come out and join you next time . +Jane's mother always wants her to marry a big shot . J +That is just wishful thinking . The cost of higher education has increased in recent years , faster than the cost of living . So she wants Jane's brother to go on studying and earn his doctorate by means of it . +But it's unfair for Jane . +I'm back . +What have you done ? +Going shopping . It tires me too much . +Why don't you go shopping online ? +Can I ? +Why not ? Let me recommend a website . +OK . What does it sell ? +It sells almost everything you can see in the department . +That's great . +Hey Nick , what are you up to ? +Not much , just heading over to the shooting range . You wanna come ? +Seriously ? You mean to fire a real weapon ? I don ’ t know man . +Yeah , it will be fun ! I have a 9mm pistol that is really easy to shoot . I also have a revolver that ’ s really fun too ! They have big targets at the range that we could use to practice and improve you +Yeah that would be cool ! Maybe I can also have a try at other weapons like a machine gun or a shotgun ! Maybe even a rocket launcher or an anti tank missile ! Or what about a flame thrower ! +Whoa , take it easy there Rambo . Don ’ t get carried away . These weapons are not toys , and you must first learn how to handle them properly . There are basic rules that you must abide by in order to be +Wow , I didn ’ t know ! It always looks so cool and easy in the movies ! +The reality is different you know , running and firing a weapon is a lot harder than in the movies ! So are you ready ? +Let ’ s do it ! +I went out with Leo last night . It was really exciting . +Really ? You are a lucky dog . You know , many girls dream of dating him . +Yes , I know . He's really on the A-list . +What kind of note are you taking there . That looks like doodle to me . +It's picture association of the concept that the professor taught today . +Does that actually work for you ? +I don't really know for sure yet . I'll tell you after the test on Friday . +I like to use shorthand note taking . +I was told once that the more time you spend writing , the less you are paying attention and so you miss stuff . +Hmm . I never thought about it that way . +One time I tried just listening , no notes , no pictures . I think I really learned more that day . +I heard that ben is forming his own band . +It will be a rock and roll band probably . He ’ s a very good guitarist . +Can you play a musical instrument ? If you can , he might ask you to join the band . +I can play drums , but I haven ’ t played for a while . I ’ m not sure I ’ d be good enough to play in a band . +I wish I could play a musical instrument . I love music . +Nowadays , you can be a DJ . You can mix dance music . You don't need to be able to play music instrument or thing . +I love to try it , but the instrument is expensive and it was still need to take a lot of practice . +You know , you could probably get a computer program that would help you . You already have a computer , so you could use that to help you mix some music . +That ’ s a great idea . I ’ ll search for some information on the internet . If it ’ s possible to do , the internet will have some information about it . +It's one of the highlights of the match . +What ? +The wonderful passing Melaena did . +Too bad I missed it . +Susan has been down recently . I saw her this morning , she looked terrible ! +You have any idea why ? +She broke up with her boyfriend . +I heard her boyfriend is married . +She still loves him . That's why she feels upset . Her love is always hard and confusing ... +Then what about you ? How are you getting on with your boyfriend ? +He sometimes really drives me crazy . +Your tree looks beautiful . Do you decorate it this way every year ? +Yes , it's a family tradition dating back to my childhood . We use the same lights and ornaments , but of course we have a new tree each year.The children made some of these decorations . Here , you can hang this on one of those high branches . +Well , everything seems to be just about ready . Now all we need is snow.Do you exchange the presents in the morning ? +Oh , yes . The kids are too excited to wait . After we clean up the mess all the empty boxes and the wrapping paper we have a big breakfast . Then the kids have the whole day to play with their new toys . +And we'll have a great turkey dinner at around four o'clock . My brother and his family will be joining us . I look forward to meeting them . Well , it's late , so I'll say good night . I'll see you early tomorrow , so I can share your Christmas morning.Good night ! +Has your family lived here for long ? +Five and a half years . We moved here on the first of November . +You have a fantastic view . +Yes . I love living here . +Look ! You can see the village way down in the valley . +Yes . It ’ s a lovely view . +Hi , Mary . I haven't seen you in ages ! I heard that you and Daniel are getting married on August 8th , the opening day of the 2008 Olympic Games . Is it true ? +yes , it is . We've been dating for over 7 years . We have decided to get married on a special day and we think August 8th , 2008 is a red-letter day . +good for you ! It sounds like you've done a lot of planning in a very short time . +yes , there is a lot of to be taken care of---wedding photos , wedding dress , catering , transport , hotel , etc ... +is everything ready now ? +almost . The only thing that isn't ready is the hotel . As a lot of people have chosen that day to get married , it is hard to find a hotel that isn't too expensive . +have you tried The Peninsula Palace Beijing ? My wedding reception was held there and they did an excellent job . +yes , we called , but it is booked up . The only choice is the Regent Beijing but we haven't made up our minds yet . +it's an excellent hotel . A friend of mine had her wedding reception there and said it was perfect , though very expensive . +that's why we want to have a look at other hotels . We don ’ t want to spend too much on an extravagant wedding reception . +I guess you're right . I can help you ask other hotels . I am sure there are probably some available . +thank you . +my pleasure . +Are you doing something on Saturday evening ? If not , welcome to my new apartment . +You moved to a new place ? +Yes , I have been busy emptying the packing boxes and cleaning up the mats . Right now , it looks like a home . I would like to have a small celebration party . Please do come . +Thank you for inviting me . Sounds lovely ! I would like to come . Where is your new apartment ? +It is in the DX community , Room 306 , No . 2 building . It is very easy to find . Just ask the guard at the entrance . +Who else will come ? +I invited all the colleagues in our department and also my former neighbor , Paul . He is a very good person . You should meet him . +Ok , I will be there around 6 . Is that ok for you ? +Yes , great . I am happy you are coming . +What are you doing over the weekend , Sara ? +I'm planing to go balling tonight . Tomorrow I was hoping to see a movie . What about you ? +I want to go camping , you know , just get a way for the weekend . I'm not sure I'll be able to , though . +Why not ? +Well , I have a lot of work . I'll see how to goes . +What brings you to Beijing ? +I'm here on business . +I've heard that you've made a new strange friend recently , Sophie . +Yes . He is an old man with a great sense of humour . Not only can he play the piano , he also draws pictures very well . +So you can learn a lot from him . +Yeah , he has no children , so he sometimes feel s very lonely . I often go to his house to play and talk with him . That makes him feel very happy . +Happy new year ! +Thank you . Same to you . +Have you got any plans ? +I've been invited over to a friend's , and you ? +My roommate's having a party . +I can't wait to go skiing tomorrow . +I know . It's going to be so much fun . +I always get excited the day before . +I used to be like that . But I go skiing so often that I don't get excited anymore . +I only go skiing twice a year , so it's a real treat for me . +That makes sense . +What things make you excited ? +Whenever I go to Vegas , I get really excited . +Oh ... that makes me excited too ! +Looks like anything fun makes you excited . +I heard you are busy with your new house now ? +Yeah , I want my own house very much , so I decide to buy one . +Let meet this right — — do you want to buy the house ? +Yeah . This is a big house with a garden . I like it very much . +But it is far from downtown . Living here is very inconvenient . +It is very quiet and peaceful . This is what I want . +What can I do for you ? +I was looking for a book , but I couldn ’ t find it . +Did you check our database to see if it was on the shelf ? +I already did . +Is it on the shelf ? +I didn ’ t see it . +Apparently somebody took that book out of the library . +Will you ever get another copy ? +We will definitely be getting another . +Could you please reserve it for me ? +That won ’ t be a problem . +Thanks . I really appreciate that . +When can we expect you and your daughter for dinner ? Next Saturday ? +Next Saturday ? I ’ m sorry . I ’ Ve promised to go to a Chinese Opera with my daughter . +How about Sunday then ? +Yes , Sunday sounds fine . What time ? +Does six thirty suit you ? +It suits us fine . We ’ ll see you then . +Thanks , goodbye . +Do you mind helping me ? +What can I help you with ? +I'm not sure how to find my next class . +Do you know what building that it's in ? +The C building , I think . +Well , that's not far away . +Could you point me in that direction ? +Do you know what the room number is ? +It's C261 . +My next class is around there . +Can you show it to me ? +Sure , let's go . +Could we go over some things , because I think my test score is wrong . +What do you think is wrong , the math or the way your answer was scored ? +Both . +I am willing to take a second look because teachers make mistakes , too . Will that work for you ? +Yeah , I'm ready . +Check your answers against the ones on the answer sheet and let me know where you see the mistake . +These look strange . +Yes , I agree ; let's move on to the calculating of the score . Would that be OK ? +OK , let's do the calculation . +We add all of these up and divide by this and that gives us this percentage . +I see . +Anytime you have a question , please feel free to ask ! +How can I live without Helen ? +Get a hold of yourself , Bruce . You'll get over her eventually . +Did you hear peter just retired ? +Are you sure ? He is quite young , isn't he ? +He is not young as he looks . I think he's almost sixty . +Really ? He looks so young . +Lodge , You must come around sometime , You have to check out my mew stereo . +Sure , When is good time for you ? +Can you make it on Tuesday ? +What time do you want me there ? +Anytime after six will be fine . +All right , It's a date . +How long have you been living in New York ? +Oh , about two years now . +Where do your parents live ? +They still live in Shanghai where I was born . +Do you write or call them very much ? +Yes , I try to keep in touch with them . +I don't dare ask Jane for a date . +You've got no guts ! +Excuse me , what's your name ? +My name is Jessica . What's yours ? +John . +You speak English very well . +Thank you . +Do you know what time it is ? +Sure . It's 5:10 PM . +What did you say ? +I said it's 5:10 PM . +Thanks . +You're welcome . +Japanese is easy to learn . +You're mistaken about it . As a matter of fact , it's very hard . +I don't think so.There ' re so many familiar characters and they sound just like Chinese . +You're quite right.But many Japanese learners begin with smiles on their faces and end up with tears in their eyes . +Today people are hearing about information superhighways and the intermet . +Is this change going to be beneficial for theindividuals like you and me . +Yes , I think so . My friend once used it mostly to play chess , but now he has learnt how to do other things on the Internet . +There's no doubt the Internet will be a powerful commercial medium . It'll connect hundreds of millions of customers and open up huge markets for all kinds of products and services . +That's true . I can imagine companies sending advertisements directly to customers over the net . Customers , in turn , can examine and compare whatever goods they want to buy and tell their computers to find them at the best price offered . +Yeah . It'll be a shoppers heaven . That's the use of net in E-commerce . +What ’ s the problem ? Things are getting out of hand . You keep sticking your nose where it doesn ’ t belong . +What do you mean ? +Now , I am responsible for training new staff , but you keep overriding my authority by trying to pose your methods . I know you are a hotshot college graduate with something to prove . But I don ’ t like your way . +How was your holiday to Cyprus ? +It was so fantastic I didn ’ t really want to come home . +Did you happen to meet someone ? +How did you know ? +You always act like this when you ’ Ve fallen in love . Who is he ? How did you meet ? +His name is Tony and we met my first night in Pathos . He works with my sister who lives there . +Was it love at first sight ? +Not really . I wasn ’ t looking for a holiday romance , but my sister told me that she had promised him that she ’ d set him up on blind date with me . I didn ’ t think I ’ d have anything to lose , so I went . +And ? +Let ’ s just say that by the third date , we both realized that we had fallen in love . +That happened quickly ! Are you going to see him again ? +Luckily , his company has a position available here , so he ’ s going to see if he can get relocated . +It sounds like he is madly in love with you . Are you ready for such a serious relationship ? +Well , I ’ m not really a spring chicken anymore . We don ’ t know what will happen . +Are you a smoker ? +Yes , I ’ m afraid I am . My husband is a smoker too . +Would you describe yourself as being a heavy smoker ? +No . But my husband smokes 20 or more a day . +When did you begin to smoke ? +I had my first cigarette when I was 17 . +Might I ask if you have tried to give up smoking ? +Yes . Twice . +what do you hope to do when you finish university ? +I ’ d like to go into management . I ’ Ve applied for several jobs already and I ’ m hopeful that I ’ ll get some job offers . How about you ? +after I graduate , I have to do some more studies to pass exams to become a lawyer . I think I ’ Ve got a good chance of passing . There ’ s a possibility of getting a job with a law firm in London , provide +we both have to overcome several obstacles if we are to achieve our ambitions . +if life were easy , then we ’ d achieve our ambition quickly and then get bored . +unfortunately , it ’ s inevitable that some people are going to work hard yet not succeed . +that ’ s why ambition need to be realistic . You can ’ t achieve something that ’ s totally unrealistic . +as long as you plan carefully , most thing are possible . It ’ s always good to have a backup plan in case things go wrong . +I think it ’ s important to be successful in a field you are truly interested in , not something that other people force you to be interested it . +my father wanted me to become a doctor , but I knew it would be impossible for me to be successful in that field . +I hope my parents don ’ t try to interfere in my choice of career . +Hey , Susie , what health club do you belong to ? +Total Fitness , why ? +Well , I ’ Ve been going to Athletic Express , but I don ’ t like it there . +Really ? Why not ? I hear it ’ s pretty good . +The people don ’ t really work out there . They just stand around and talk all the time . +Oh , it ’ s one of those places . +Yeah , is your club different ? +Well , they have different rooms . I lift weights by the pool where there aren ’ t so many people . +Do they have a lot of equipment ? +Yeah , they have all the machines , a pool , and a steam room and sauna . +Sounds nice . What about classes ? +The usual . Aerobics , kickboxing , yoga . They just started a Tai Chi class too . +Wow , that sounds great . +Well , I have a guest pass . Why don ’ t you come with me tonight ? +Really ? Thanks . I ’ ll stop by when I get off work . +Perfect . See you later . +O . K . , see you . +Do you like traveling ? +Yes , I've just come back from Scotland . +Where did you visit ? +I only had time to visit Edinburgh . +How did you like it ? +It's fantastic . +Why did you go there ? +I went there on business . +And do you have friends there ? +Yes , a lot of friends . +You must have enjoyed yourself . +Yes , and I look many pictures . +Susan , Did you know the four ugliest women in ancient China ? +No , I only know four great beauties of China . +There were some famous ugly women in history . +Yeah ? Were they famous because of the ugliness ? +Though they were ugly , they had great virtue . +Then who were they ? +Mo Mu , Thong Lichen , Meng Gang and Ran Nv . They were well respected . +It seems that the inner beauty is also important . +Sometimes the inner beauty is more beautiful . +I wonder how Sarah and Mat are . +Don't you know they've already broken up ? +I'm not surprised . She's a plain Jane . +And he's so handsome . +What's up ? You look depressed . +I just had a quarrel with him . +Would you rather I taught him a lesson for you ? +No , thanks . +Nowadays , ships and boats are no longer so important in transportation as they used to be . +True . With the extension of railways and highways , and the improvement of safety and capacity of airplanes , ships and boats have been giving place to trains , planes and automobiles . +I read in the newspapers that the passenger liners from Shanghai to Ningpo and Dalian have been out of business ; and the liners up and down the Yangtze River have been reduced by 70 % . +The pace of life of people is now getting faster and faster , so the speed of ships and boats seems to be so slow . I think it may be the reason why people don't like to travel by boat . +But the most of the transoceanic cargo transportation is still carried by boat . +I always think everybody looks down on me +Don't be that negative . +How can you be optimistic ? You can see it in their eyes . +I find it there is no meaning in living this world . +Don't be that negative . +Really , life is so boring . +Good afternoon , sir . May I help you ? +I booked a table yesterday . +What's your name , please ? +Smith . +A minute , please . ... Yes , this way , please . +I'm so glad that the Spring Festival is near at hand . +Me too . I like the festival best of all . +Think of the big face down the eve , hmm . +And special TV programs , fire crackers and the games to play . +Hey , do you know any mystery belief serve the festival ? +Such as ? +You know why fire crackers are set off in festival . +Why ? To welcome the new year of course ? +And also to frighten away evil spirits . +Really ? +And my parents say the whole year will be as good or as bad as new year day itself and bad or rude words on the day will bring a bad year . +Oh , that's why my parents never scold me that day . They always try to avoid tears and quarrels . +Mom , did you feel the earthquake this afternoon ? +Oh , that scared me . +The breaking news just reported some houses were destroyed by the earthquake . +Oh , dear ! How ruthless ! +Do you think we can donate some clothes and food for the victims ? +Why not ? That's a good idea to help them . +It's really late but I'm starving . +Hey , that coffee shop's lights are still on . +Maybe they have some good pie . +I would love a really sticky cinnamon bun . +There was a coffee shop by my house when I was a kid that served cinnamon hot chocolate . +Mmmm . That sounds like something I had in Mexico once . +Good stuff ... Oh , no . The door is locked . +Ohhhhh ! And I just got all my juices going ! +How have you been ? +Fine , thank you . +And how ’ s everyone in your family ? +Very well , thank you . I ’ m meeting my wife and daughter for lunch at 12:00 , would you care to join us ? +I ’ d love to but I ’ m afraid I can ’ t . I ’ Ve already got a lunch engagement . +How was your first date , David ? Are you satisfied with Jane ? +It was all right . She , tall and attractive , has stable job and source of income . +Yes , so I think she is suitable for you . +But , well ... what I want to say is ... +Stop acting like this . Say away ! +Her standard for selecting life partner is a little higher . I can not accept that . +What did she say ? +She said she want a man with large house , luxurious car and healthy parents . +Give her up . +I wonder what he looks like . Oh , I can't wait to see him ! His email said he'd be wearing a white hat . ( looking around for him ) oh , there he is . +hey , Isabelle ... +Logan ! Why on earth are you hiding here ? White hat ! Come on ! Don't tell me you're the guy ! It can't be true . +yes , I am the guy . +what a bummer ! You set me up ? +let me explain . I didn't mean to hurt you ... +how dare you ! +hang on a second . Hear me out , just this once , Isabella ! +why did you lie to me in the email ? +I didn't lie . You just didn't ask me my real name . +I should have known it was you . No wonder all the 20 questions were answered correctly . I thought I might have found the one for me . +I'm sorry . It was cruel of me . But I promise it will never happen again ? Look , there's a nice restaurant . Let me take you to dinner and we can talk things over . +How beautiful the flower is ! +Really , it's so beautiful . +You like it . Well , I'll gather in for you . +You mustn't pick it in this place . +Where it is ? +It's a private garden . +I love that vase . +Do you really like it ? +Yes , it looks perfect . +It wasn't very expensive either . +That's amazing ! +In my country , we go to school from 8 o'clock in the morning until five in the afternoon . +Five days a week , too ? +Actually , five and a half . On Saturday , we have classes only in the morning . +Gosh ! +That's too much for us really . +Where are you going now ? +I'm going to try to find out where the school is located . +When do you start school ? +I'm going to register right now . +That's good . +Which is more interesting to you , flying kites or going roller-skating ? +Well , flying kites is more fun to me . +I've got no kite . Do you have one ? +Let's go and buy one . +I heard that Ann had divorced . +I suspect it's unavoidable . +Poor Ann . She did not love her husband at all . +Yeah . She married him at her mother's bidding . +how do you usually spend your day , now that you ’ Ve retired ? +well , I nearly always get up at dawn . I don ’ t like sleeping in late . The days are longer in summer that in winter , so I get up in summer . I usually do some exercise when I get up . +what do you have for breakfast ? +I usually have cereal , but sometimes I cook a traditional English breakfast . +that sounds nice . How do you spend your mornings ? +I usually do housework in mornings . I go shopping occasionally . I like to do all my shopping in one bag trip to the supermarket . I always drive to the big supermarket in the city center . It takes about +how do you spend your afternoons ? +I usually meet some friends and we play sports together or I might spend some time alone on my hobbies . I spend winter evening watching tv , but I spend summer evening at cultural events if I have time +Hi , my name is Ted , what ’ s yours ? +What ? +I said , I ’ m Ted , who are you ? +Huh ? Oh , my name is Laura . +Do you somewhere often , Laura ? +Huh ? I can ’ t hear you , the music ’ s too loud . +Let ’ s go outside and talk . So Laura , do you come here often ? +Hold on , my ears are still ringing from the music ... what was it you asked me ? +I asked if you come here often . +Sometimes , usually once every few weeks . Do you ? +No , this is my first time here . +I usually come with a group of friends . We dance a little , have a few drinks , and just have a good time . +Yeah , that ’ s why I ’ m here . My friends dragged me here , because they think I spend too much time studying . +That ’ s good . It ’ s good to hit the books , but you need to get out once in a while . +I guess so . But the music is too loud . I don ’ t mind getting out and meeting people , but next time I ’ ll do it in a park . +People are funny . +They sure are . +Did you hear about the pilot ? +The one that stole a small plane ? +Yes , he stole a plane in Canada and flew into the U . S . +Did they catch him ? +Yes . After two U . S . fighter jets followed him for an hour , he landed on a highway . +Did he crash ? +No , he just landed the plane and walked to a restaurant . +Did the cops find out why he flew into the U . S . ? +His life sucked . He was hoping a fighter jet would shoot him down . +Poor guy . +When he told me I had to work overtime , that was it . +The last straw , huh ? +Yes , he's really pushed me too far . +I know what you mean . +You're going to Shanghai tomorrow , are you ? +That's right . Do you think it'll be cold ? +It might be . You'd better take a heavy sweater with you.The nights are usually quite cold at this time of year . +Do you think I'll need a cotton coat ? +Not for now , I think , But I believe there'll be rain , so take your raincoat with you . +Did you watch the Premiership last night ? +Yes , I watched United play Chelsea . What a fierce battle ! allay were engaged in intensive pressing and tackling in midfield . Well , it was not like a normal English League match . +No , it wasn't . Rather , it looked like a Bundesliga match , where physical contact is so frequent . English League teams are apt to pass the midfield quickly with long passes . It seems to me English soccer players are very gentlemanly . As Diego Maradona spoke teasingly , they often knew only chasing hard after the ball , but forgot to steal it . +Haha . That's probably why slide tackle and fouls are less common , and offsides more frequent in English League matches than those on the Continent . And the ball is often kept flying overhead , drawing beautiful curves in the sky . Such games are quite pleasing to the eye . +Which team do you back then ? +I'm a firm United supporter . I like their playing style . The Reds always have several excellent wing-backs , Like Riggs , Peckham and Gary Neville . They often make wonderful crosses when they assist in attacking . +But the Reds keep a weak midfield . I think Juventas of Italian Series A have always maintained a very formidable midfield . It is the main source of its strength . +I'd like to purchase a parking permit for next semester . +Are you a daytime student or do you just come in the evenings ? +I am a daytime student . +Will you be driving a motorcycle or a car ? +I will be driving my car . +OK , that will be twenty-five dollars . How would you like to pay for it ? +I'll pay for it with a check . +Would you like to pay for any extra permits for another vehicle ? +No , thanks ; I'm fine . +Here you go then . Have a great school year ! +What's your major in college ? +I take architecture as my major . +What research are you dealing with now ? +I am dealing with the study of the architecture style of ancient Chinese buildings . +Would you like to go to a concert with me ? +I'd love to . +Good morning , Miss Li . +Morning , Mike . +I'm sorry that I was absent yesterday . +I've already got your certificate for sick leave . How do you feel today ? +I feel much better now . +Have you received the reading material handed out yesterday ? +I've already got it . Thanks . +I will explain it in detail in the next class , could you preview it ? +I will . +They promised us a sea view . +Well , you can just see the sea . Between the factory chimneys . +Isn't it awful ? I can't bear to look at it . I don't think I can stand this place for two weeks . +Well , it can't be helped . We'll just have to put up with it . +You are saying he will be promoted to the general manager ? +Yeah . +Are you sure ? +Yes . I bet my bottom dollar that he will get promoted . +Just because he gets on well with everybody ? +Partly , and he's also a hard working man . +What's Beijing like ? +It ’ s big and exciting but noisy . +What can I see in Beijing ? +You can see the Forbidden City . +What ’ s it like ? +It ’ s beautiful but crowded . +Would you talk to me about taking one of Dr . Miller's classes ? +Yes . Have you ever been in one of his classes ? +I'm thinking about taking his class next semester . +He was a very easy teacher . Are you thinking of taking a class with him ? +I'm not sure because I really need to learn something , but I also worry about grades . +Grades are important , but don't you think that gaining the knowledge is important , too ? +I really need to learn this stuff . +He made everything so interesting that the time just flew by . Do you know what I mean ? +Yes , that sounds right for me . +Did you know that he came here last year after 10 years in the military ? +Yeah , I already knew that . That could be a good thing . +I think you know that you have to make the best decision for you . Enjoy your year ! +How was my singing ? +Not bad at all . +Hello . I was wondering if Taylor Smith has checked out yet ? +Just one moment . I'll check with the cancer ward desk . +The cancer ward ! ? Oh , my . It's worse than we thought . +Ma'am , I'm sorry . The cancer ward said Mr . Smith passed away two days ago . +That's impossible ! I'm talking about Mister Taylor Smith . +Yes , ma'am . He died from complications of stomach cancer . I'm very sorry . +I'm really sick ! +I have something really cool to tell you about ! Do you know anything about online auctions ? +Not really . +They're awesome ! I was browsing through the eBay auction today , and I found the cutest fat little copper Buddha ! It's over a hundred years old . +Please don't tell me you bought it . +Why not ? +If you did , you probably got ripped off . +Excuse me . May I ask you some questions ? +Sure . What do you want to know ? +Could you please tell me how many credits would be required for a bachelor's degree ? +Well , you have to get 166 credits , including required courses and optional courses . +OK . And how long does it take to get a bachelor's degree ? +It can be completed in four years normally . +I see . Thank you very much . +You're welcome . +I have failed in my final examination . What can I do now ? +You have asked me several times about it . You are driving me up the wall . +Would you like to go to a concert tonight ? +I'd like to very much . +All right , then.There is one at the new concert hall . +Who's playing ? +It's the Powell orchestra . +Do you know what they are playing ? +They're doing a seventeenth-century program . +And who is directing ? +Well , I'm not sure of his name , but I know it's going to be his farewell performance . +Your 3.5 percent share is going to be worth at least a million . +I need to be motivated , Vince.Multi - motivated . As in multi-million . +What if I said no ? +Ever hear of WebTracker ? +You wouldn't ! If you leave , you'll make nothing . +I might make nothing even if I stay . For that kind of risk , I want to get rich . +OK . If you sign the Stars.com account before WebTracker does , we'll talk next week . +Shall I get you another cup of coffee ? +Yes , please . That is very kind of you . +Shall I make more sandwiches ? +No , thanks . I ’ Ve had plenty . +We're in big trouble , Jason . Nick is beating us by a long shot . +Impossible ! Well , I'm not giving up yet . It's not over till the fat lady sings ! +OK , comeback kid . Here's you last question.How many times did Robin Williams win the Oscar for Best Actor ? +Hmm . Let's see ... there was Good Morning , Vietnam , Dead Poet's Society , The Fisher King ... Three , right ? +Nope , sorry ! Actually , Robin Williams has never won an Oscar for Best Actor--only for Best Supporting Actor ! +I'm so busy . I don't know how will get this done . +You're not the only one with a lot to do . We are all in the same boat . +Helen , did you hear I ’ m having a party ? Next Saturday in my place . +I may have something on that day , but thanks for inviting me . +Well , drop by if you can . +I will , do you want me to bring anything ? +No , just bring yourself . I hope to see you there . +Please help yourself to whatever you like , don't be shy . +Yes , thank you . I ’ Ve already been helping myself . +This dish tastes terrific . Would you like to try a little ? It is a little hot , but very good . +I like hot food , especially Sichuan cuisine . +Would you like another beer ? +I'II have another cup of beer insist . I know I don't like to drink alone , especially there are someone sitting there next to me . +Come on , it's the weekend . Let's taste and enjoy this meal . Cheers ! +Bottom's up , and you're right . This meal is incredible . I wish I had known this restaurant before . Thanks for bringing me here . I know I'll be back soon . +Hi , Bob , everything okay ? +more or less . There's just one thing bothering me . +oh ? What's that ? +well , you know I have some students studying for their master's degree . One of them tried to give me a gift that kind made me uneasy . +what gift ? +it's an Egyptian carpet . The student came to my office the other day and brought the carpet to show his gratitude . Seeing what gift was , I was really uncomfortable . I mean it's too expensive a gift +you refused the gift ? That's terrible . +I know , but I really can't accept such an expensive gift . I explained to him why , but he seemed really upset about it . I think he might have taken it the wrong way . +perhaps . He probably thinks you considered the gift a bribe for a higher grade . +that's what I am worried about . I do understand the respect attached with the gift and I am honored . But I really don't think it's proper for a student to spend a fortune on a gift for a professor . +It is so quiet here . I like the place . +Me too . +I can't stand the loud noise in the city . +Yes , sometimes I can hardly get asleep at night . +I hope I can stay here longer . +When will your vacation end ? +The day after tomorrow . +You will go back tomorrow , right ? +Yes , you are right . +Who do you think is going to get the Oscar for best actor ? +I have no idea . To be honest , I couldn't care less . +I finally went out to dinner with him last night . +Just the two of you ? +Yup . +Where did you go ? +True , a sea food restaurant . +True ? The food is terrible . +I didn't notice . I don't really even know what I ate . +Really ? +( Before Christmas Party ) Are you ready for the Christmas party tonight +Almost . I have to get dressed . It's a formal party and I have special party make up ! +Use this lipstick and it will make your lips shine ! +Great ! Uh , remember that there's a gift exchange , too . We all have to bring a gift . +I've already got mine . +( At the Party ) It's Christmas Eve ! Time to open presents ! +Here ! Open mine first . +Wow ! It's just what I wanted ! +Hey ! Why don't I have any presents ! +Hi , Mike , what gives ? +Hi , Bill , this is my new car . +Hey , great set of wheels . +You like it , huh ? +Who wouldn't ? Wow , that's out of this world . +It is special , isn't it ? +Yeah , too cool . How much did they sold you for ? +Lots . Looks like I'll have to moonlight for the next two years . +I can imagine . +Hey , let's go for a spin . You can try it out . +I'd love to . +Ok , let's go . +Good afternoon . +My goodness ! It ’ s the afternoon ? Doesn ’ t the time fly ! Do come in and sit down . +Thank you . +What ’ s the time ? My watch has stopped . +It ’ s half past twelve . +When do you have lunch ? +From one to two . +What do you normally eat ? +We usually go to the cafeteria . +Oh , it ’ s time to have lunch now . +let ’ s go together . +Thank you for coming to see me off . +Not at all . +If I have time , I will come again . +You are welcome at any time . +Thank you for your hospitality . I hope I didn ’ t cause you too much trouble during my stay . +You are most welcome . +I ’ m afraid I have to go now . The plane will take off soon . +Call us as soon as you got home . +We have mild wines and strong liquors . Which kind do you prefer ? +I've no idea . I'd like to listen to your suggestion . +It's my pleasure . Actually , it's really hard to say as individual tastes are different . As for myself , I'd like to recommend gin and tonic . +Well , I'll try gin and tonic . +We'll get a big bonus this year , won't we ? +Don't count on it . +My Buddha ! ! It's beautiful ! But I thought you were afraid ? +Actually , I was watching your auction all along . I saw you drop out at $ 250 . +You sneak ! +I watched Buddha buyer go up to $ 315 . I waited until the very last minute and then I jumped in at $ 325 ! I sniped him ! +But that's a lot of money ! Honey ! +Do you mind if I borrow the notes from last week ? +Were you here last week ? +I was unable to make it . +How come ? +I was sick that day , and couldn't make it . +Well , here are the notes . +Are there any more ? +Sorry , here you go . +Thanks a lot . +No problem . +Do you have any habits such as smoking ? +No , I rarely smoke . I don't drink , either . I only drink with my family on celebrations or with close friends . +What kind of winter sport do you like best ? +My favorite winter sport is skiing . In addition , I am keen on basketball . +What do you like doing in your spare time ? +I like doing aerobics in my spare time . It's good for my health . +Do you have any hobbies ? +Yes , I have . I collect stamps , Chinese stamps as well as those from other countries . +I wonder if it is possible that we organize a dinner party for all the colleagues in our departments . They are working very hard these days . Maybe it is time for everybody to relax a little . +That is a good idea , I love it . What time do you think is convenient ? +Well , what about this Thursday evening after we finish the weekly meeting ? +Ok , I will inform everybody when they come back from lunch . It has been a long time since we had the department dinner last time . I am sure they don ’ t want to miss it . +I hope so . Let me know how many will come . Then I will book the restaurant . +You must be new . +As a matter of fact , I am . +Have you just started college ? +No . I transferred here from a different school . +What school ? +I transferred here from PCC . +Do you like it here ? +I really like it here so far . +Do you like it better here or at PCC ? +I like PCC better . +If that ’ s the case , then why did you leave ? +I graduated and I'am working towards my next degree . +Are you coming or not ? +I haven't decided yet . +Well , make up your mind . We need to know . +Ok , count me in . +Hey , Bob . Are you getting the feeling you've been here before ? +Yes , I'm sure I've been here before . +Maybe we're walking in circles . +Yes , there's that bar we passed an hour ago . +I am thinking about inviting you to a dinner . When would you have time ? And what kind of food do you fancy ? +That would be great . I am really in the mood for a spicy hotpot . Any special reason for the invitation ? +To thank you for helping me at work last week . If you would not have been so kind , I would not have been able to pick my parents from the airport . You really did me a big favor . Thank you so much . +It was my pleasure . How about this evening ? I feel very hungry now . +Fine , I know a good hotpot place in the downtown area , food there is pretty spicy too . Shall we try that one ? +Ok with me . You are the boss . I will meet you downstairs after work . +I have been working 70 hours this week . I am totally maxed out . +70 hours ? I would be dead if I worked hard like that . +What a beautiful day ! +It is really gorgeous out today . I remembered the weatherman said it is supposed to rain . +I heard that it's supposed to get up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit today . +Really ? That's unusual for October , isn't it ? +Well , you could never tell about the weather here in New York . +Yes , that's true . Still , it's hard to believe . Yesterday our high was only 50 degrees Fahrenheit . +I have no idea about what to do next . +Maybe you can pick Mary ’ s brains now . She knows a lot about stocks . +Let me have a try . +Hello , is it necessary to do warm-up exercise ? I can't wait to dive into the water . +I'm sorry . Every customer coming here must do the warm-up exercise before getting down to swimming . That's out regulation . +Yeah , I see . You are just doing your job . But I wanna know what the advantages it has . +OK , lovely boy . Try to be patient . Do you know the danger of swimming without warm-up ? +As far as I know , people will be weak if they swim too long . +That's right . But the most dangerous thing is that their legs may spasm out of control when swimming . +Is it very dangerous ? I'm a little scared . Do you offer the lifebuoy for us ? +Yes , besides that , we also provide our customers with goggles , swimming suit and something like that . +Do you have the workers to save me if anything should happen ? +Of course , all the workers here are able to swim , and they will come to your aid quickly . +Do you feel better ? +Much better . My heart sank when Mary told me that she wanted to leave me . +Don ’ t be sad . Everything will be fine . +Thanks a lot . You are so kind . +Do you have the time ? +It's ten thirty . +It's a perfect day for swimming . +I am going to the beech . How about coming with me ? +Great ! I love swimming . Besides , I need a tan for Hill ’ s party .. +Don't forget the sun block lotion . You don't want a sunburn , do you ? +No . Thanks for reminding me . +Can you vouch for me that I was with you yesterday ? +Why do I need to do that ? +My character is in question . Someone was robbed at work and unless I have an alibi , I'm a suspect . +Oh , my goodness . Who do I need to talk to ? +My employer . Can you come in to the office tomorrow ? +Absolutely . I think I still have the boarding passes from our flight here somewhere . +That would be the real proof . Didn't we have to show ID to get on the plane ? +Since 911 I think every airline requires that the passengers show ID to board . +Which team has won ? +Neither.The game ended in two all . +But I still think AC milan's defence seems better organized . +But the Brazilian is tougher . +What dances do you like ? +I love to dance the fast music . +Then you must be interested in disco . +Yes , it's my favorite . +Oh , it's a disco . Let's dance . +You're a good dancer . +Thank you . Now they are playing a rumba . Would you have a try ? +Sorry . I feel like sitting out the next dance . +OK . Let's get something to drink . +Good idea . +What day is today ? Tuesday ? +Yeah . I bet you did forget everything . What's the date today , do you know ? +I bet it's May 5th . +I heard that Kevin got divorced . Is that true ? +Not so bad , but Kevin does have problems with his wife . +What ? +His wife always complained that Kevin's salary was too low and got no promotion . +Poor Kevin , we should do something for him . He is a nice guy and does his job well . +Yeah , I agree with you . But you know , it ’ s just one of those things . +Good morning , Miss Wu ! Can I ask you something ? +Certainly . You are more welcome to do . What is it ? +Tomorrow is my wife's birthday . We both love spicy Chinese dishes . I am wondering if you could recommend a good local restaurant where I can find some good spicy dishes . +Well , if spicy local dishes are what you are looking for , In Hua Restaurant is the best place to go . The restaurant serves very good and spicy local dishes . You might want to try there . +How far is it from here ? +It is near the university . Five minutes ' walk from your flat , I think . +Great . We'll go and have a try . Thank you very much . +You're welcome . May you have a good time . Please give my regards to your wife . I wish her a happy birthday tomorrow . +Thank you . The same to you . +Is this seat taken ? +No . Have a seat . +Why don ’ t we go the cinema tonight ? +That sounds good but I don ’ t know what ’ s on . +I think there ’ s a very romantic new film starring Hugh Grant . Let ’ s go and see that . +Ok , that ’ s a good idea . Where shall we meet ? +Well how about meeting at my place ? +That sounds good . I ’ ll call you once I arrive . +Show us our itineraries , please . +We'll first go to Mount Tai , then we'll go to Sichuan by air , after that we'll be leaving for Tibet . +How long will the trip take ? +At least 20 days . +Tom , aren ’ t you a little too old to be trick-or-treating ? +What are you talking about ? Where is your Halloween spirit ? Didn ’ t you ever dress up in a costume and go around the neighborhood trick-or-treating with your friends ? +Of course , I did , but when I was ten ! Trick - or-treating is for kids , plus , I ’ m sure people will think you ’ re a kidnapper or something , running around with kids NCP at night . +Whatever , I ’ m going next door I heard Mrs . Robinson is giving out big bags of M & Ms ! +I really want to switch things up . +What were you thinking ? +I think I want to try a new style . +What would you like me to do ? +I want you to cut my hair shorter . +How short ? +I want my hair to be only a few inches long . +Do you really want it that short ? +Yes , I've been wanting it short for a while now . +If you really want me to , then I'll do it . +I'm absolutely sure that this is what I want . +Let's do it . +I hear you and James are engaged at last . +Yes , we are . +When are you getting married ? +In the spring . +Oh , lovely.Where ' s the wedding going to be ? +Well .. we're not sure yet , probably in St.Albans . +Oh , yes , your parents live there , don't they ? +Yes , that's right . +Where are you going to live after you're married ? +We're going to buy a flat or a small house somewhere in South London . +Are you going to give up your job ? +Yes , probably but I may look for another one when we're settled in . +Welcome , Li Mei . Please give me your coat and hat . +Thank you , Peter . +Oh , let's come in and enjoy yourself . +Happy birthday , Peter , and many happy returns of the day . Here's a present for you . +Thank you , Li Mei . Come into the dining room . I'm going to cut the cake soon . +What wish do you make ? +It's a secret . +Which service offered by your bank do you use most ? +I use several services . Of course , I deposit and withdraw money quite often . I often use my ATM card to take money out of my current account . I use my bank to exchange money from once currency to another . I often travel abroad , you see . +Do you ever ask you bank for traveller ’ s cheques ? They are much safer than carrying lots of cash around . +I sometimes use traveller ’ s cheques , but sometimes I travel to countries where they are hard to exchange for cash . +Do you use your bank to pay your utility bills ? I use direct debit . +Yes , I do . It save me a lot of time . I also have standing orders for my subscriptions to magazines . +That ’ s good idea . You don ’ t need to worry about missing an issue of a magazine if you do that . I suppose you have a mortgage too . +Yes . My bank offers very good terms and conditions on mortgage . There ’ s a lot of competition between banks nowadays . Each one is trying to offer better conditions and services than the others . +I have a deposit account with my bank . There are some restrictions on withdrawing money , but the interest rate is much higher . +I don ’ t have one . I prefer to buy shares . My bank also provides a share trading service . It ’ s cheap and easy to use . +That ’ s great . But I prefer to put my money somewhere where the returns are more certain . +I am not sure what to do during the holidays , any suggestions ? +Well , going to a cinema , visiting the galleries , exhibitions and museums , finding and meeting old friends , exercising in the health club or mountain biking . There are so many good choices . +The problem is that I find all of them are full of fun . I just don ’ t know what to do first . +Why not start with the most interesting one ? +Actually , I ’ m interested in all of them . The more choices we have , the harder to make a decision . +Toss a coin to decide then . +You know John ? +Which John ? Mr.Turnbow ’ s son ? +Yes . I ’ Ve read news about him in today ’ s paper . +And he ’ s bright and intelligent . I ’ m sure he can pass the university entrance exam . +I wish he could too . +How ’ s your boy , Jack ? +He ’ s a bit tired , you know . It often takes him a couple of hours to brush up . +Poor boys ! They work harder at school nowadays , don ’ t they ? +Good luck to them . +You're from New York , aren't you ? +Yes , that's right . +What do you suggest I should see in New York ? +Well , how about the Museum of Modern Art ? +No , I don't like museums.They ' re boring . +Why don't you go to see the Empire State Building ? +Ah ! That sounds interesting . +So , Jack , do you believe in ghosts ? +No , not really . Why do you ask ? +Because I want to tell you about the time that I saw a ghost . +You saw a ghost ? When ? +It was many years ago , when I was a little child . It was the middle of the night , and I went to get a drink of water from the kitchen . I walked out of my room and was at the top of the stairs , when ... +So that's where you saw the ghost ? In your house ? What did it look like ? Was it hideous ? +It was a big , green thing that looked like a person . It was in the kitchen , and it slowly moved towards the stairs ... +So what did you do ? +I hid so that it couldn't see me . Slowly it got closer and closer , until ... +Until what ? What happened ? Did you see it clearly ? Did it attack you ? +It moved slowly up the stairs , step by step , and I could hear its approaching footsteps . When it finally got to the top of the stairs , I realized that it was my father in his green pajamas . He had gone to get a late night snack . +Are you getting overtime ? +Yes , but it's not so appetizing . +Have you thought about another job ? +That's what's hanging on my mind recently . +I bought it . I got a watch , too . The company that sells this car has a car club . +Where you can buy lots of paraphernalia ? +Yeah , and meet other drivers of the same car ! +Cool ! +I know girls love this kind of car . Look , it's got a sunroof ! Imagine ... a cool , starry night ... +So , you're going to use Sarah's car to go cruising for chicks ? +No . I borrowed it to go shopping . +Quite a few people are laid off these days . +Yeah . It is not easy for them to find another job . +University graduates have difficulty finding a job too . There seems to be more and more competition in the job market +It is strange that some people are quitting their jobs in order to find a better one . What do you think ? Do you want to quit your job ? +No . Not now . I think I'll try to keep this one . +Hello , Ms . Barkley . How are you ? +Fine , thank you , sir . It ’ s nice to see you again . +Good to see you again , too . How ’ s you family ? +Very well , thank you , Mr . Parker . +Mike's really angry . +I wonder Why . +Oh my god ! It's 10:00 pm . I have to go . +Can ’ t you stay a little longer ? +I am afraid not . +Say hi to your parents for me . I hope to see them soon . +Thank you . Well , if you ever pass my home , please drop in . +Yes , I will . Take care , then . +Yes , sure . Have a sweet dream ! +Why you are so crazy about Beijing Opera ? It's so boring . +But I think it's fantastic and charming . Well , you have your opinion and I have mine . +Maybe you're right . But I just still can't understand ... +Come on . I don't see any point in arguing about this . Everyone has a right to his own opinion . +Your garden is looking very beautiful this summer . The flowers are really colorful . +Thank you . I have roses , tulips , and daffodils . Do you like the rockery with the smaller flowers ? +Yes , I do . Those are violets , aren ’ t they ? +Yes , they are . This afternoon , I ’ m going to prune the hedge . +The lower branches on that tree are hanging very low . Would you like me to cut them off for you ? +Thank you ! That would be very kind of you . I have a saw in the garden shed . +When the lower branches are removed , you ’ ll be able to sit under the tree . +Tomorrow , I ’ ll cut the grass . Then the garden will look perfect . +Just make sure children don ’ t play in the flower beds and destroy the flowers . +Listen to this . Mary got married . +Is she really ? I can ’ t believe it ! +Yes . Yesterday . +Good gracious . That ’ s incredible ! +She married Jerrod . +You ’ re kidding . +She ’ s going to live in Paris . +Really ? I ’ m surprised . +I've been accepted by the university , and they've offered me a position on the basketball team ! +That's wonderful ! Icing on the cake . +Do you feel all right ? You look Pale . +All my joints seem to hurt and I have a terrible headache . +Have you taken your temperature ? +No , not yet , but I do feel a little feverish . +How long have you been feeling this way ? +Only since this morning . +Oh , probably you've been working too hard . +Maybe you are right . +What a terrible house ! +I'm sick of it , too . +The door bell doesn't work , there's no hot water , and the building is falling apart . +It's no use complaining . If we had got enough money , we couldn't put up with it , and would have moved out . +Sure . +What kind of jobs are becoming popular in your country ? +As in many countries , there ’ s been a big growth in anything related to computers . Young people are attracted to that field in particular . There ’ s also been a big growth in education . +There ’ s been a growth in that field in my country too . A lot of people want to learn practical and professional skills . +The interesting thing is that many of the teachers are not actually trained teachers . They are usually professionals who are taking a break from their jobs to pass on skills to others . +I noticed that too . What are the people learning ? +In my country , they are usually studying something business-related , such as marketing , management techniques , and human resource management . +I think that jobs in the leisure industry will become more popular in the future . +That trend has already begun in my country . In particular , there ’ s a big demand for people to work in fitness centers . Which kinds of jobs are less in demand ? +Those in traditional fields , such as agriculture and heavy industry . Younger people are not interested in doing those jobs and other countries have industries that can produce things much cheaper . +Yes . My country is certainly expanding in the service and hi-tech sectors , but contracting in the heavy industry and primary industry sectors . However , our car and aircraft manufacturers are doing very well . +They are well known for high quality , that ’ s why . +Hi , Ben . Here are the top ten of this week's top chart . +Oh , great ! +Which is your favorite in this ten ? +I like No . 4 . +You mean Sweet Heart . +Yes . In fact , I think it's much better than this week's No . 1 . +What do you think about Cold Wind ? +I like it as well , but I don't think it's as good as Sweet Heart . +So No . 4 is your favorite . Which one don't you like ? +Well . I don't like Your Lips very much . +Why ? +I think it's too slow makes me sleepy . In fact , it's the worst in this week ’ s top ten , if you ask me . +Really ? But it's my favorite . +are you good at making decisions ? +not really . Sometimes , I even let other people make key decision for me . +what kinds of decisions do you leave to other people ? +there are basic decisions like which restaurant to go to . I can never seem to choose . I let my parents make big decisions for me . They chose my university and my course . I ended up studying something +your parents will be choosing your girlfriend if you aren ’ t careful ! Why don ’ t you try being more decisive ? Start with some basic ones . When your friends are discussing which restaurant to eat at , mak +that ’ s a good idea . You ’ re very decisive , I ’ Ve noticed . So , which bar are we going to this evening ? +I can ’ t make a decision . You ’ ll have to put forward an idea . +ok , i choose luckies . +you see ? You ’ re becoming more decisive already ! +Old Dyson looks as if he maybe kick the bucket any day . +Why do you say that ? +I ’ Ve ever seen a living being looked so thin . +Really ? In my eyes it ’ s normal , as an old man , to be thin is better than to be fat . +Maybe you are right . +I've got to put together a sales pitch to give to our clients in the morning . You always give such amazing presentations , I was hoping you could give me some advice about how to win them over tomorrow . +Sure , it's easy . First of all , the secret to a successful oral presentation is to keep things simple . People are listening and they usually don't have a long attention spans . Stick to about three or four points , give an overview of the points , then present them one by one , and then summarize at the end . Be straightforward and organized and you're sure to be remembered . +What kind of visuals should I use to support the presentation ? Do you think I should use PowerPoint ? +You should consider the size and interests of your audience . In other words , who is listening , and what do they want to hear ... you can put together a PPT with some graphics and animations that will catch people's attention , but be careful not to go overboard . +I think I can put something together , no problem . But when it comes to tomorrow , I'll just be a bundle of nerves ! How can I get over my fear of speaking in public ? +You know , stage fright is very normal , most people get nervous before they have to speak in front of large groups . Just prepare well , rehearse beforehand , and trust that you will be great ... and you will be ! +Hey , Shirley ! Want to join me for lunch ... my treat ! +Wow ! Sure ! +I must confess I have an ulterior motive for asking you to lunch . +Oh ... that's OK ... as long as you're buying ! +I really want to pick your brain about something I've been thinking a lot about . +I'd love to help if I can . +Well , as you know , I have a Bachelor's degree in English literature and that's served me well so far , but I've always wanted to do some post-graduate work ... maybe even get a Doctorate ! +Wow ! Just the idea of going back to school fills my head with pain . +But you have a Master's degree ... hasn't that helped your career ? +Yeah , I'd have to say it has . But I'm still paying for it , you know . +I know education is expensive , but it's been my lifelong dream . Call me crazy , but I've always wanted to have that PhD at the end of my name . +Well , getting a Doctorate degree would mean close to a decade of school . Can you afford that ? Can you survive that ? +I certainly can't afford it , but I'm sure I could find some good student loans . +I think you need to separate the dream of having a PhD from the reality of years of more schooling . It's not as romantic as you might think . +Yeah ... I keep thinking about what I'll do with a Master's or Doctorate . I love language but I don't think there are a lot of well-paying jobs out there for experts on Shakespeare . +Uh huh , that's for sure . You might find that your only career choice is teaching other graduate students . +Do you mind if we call on you this evening ? +Of course not , we'd be happy if you could come.What time will you be able to come ? +How about seven o'clock ? +Fine.We ' ll be expecting you . +Hey , May , how are you doing ? +Oh , I'm a little busy these days . +Why is that ? +Don ’ t you know Christmas is coming ? I have a lot of things to get ready . +But you ’ re in China . Are you planning on going home for Christmas ? +Yeah , so I have to buy presents for everyone before I leave . +Why not just give them money in red envelopes ? That would be much easier . +Americans don ’ t like giving money , they prefer presents you buy for them . So I have to figure out what to buy for all of my family and friends . +I've got it . I won ’ t bother you any more . You ’ d better hurry to do it , Christmas is just around the corner . +I will . Merry Christmas . +Peter really is a remarkable expert ! There is very little he doesn ’ t know . +I have exactly the same feeling . This afternoon he explained the ins and outs of the stock market to me . He knows a lot about investments . +How big is your family ? +My family is not big , there are only 3 of us-my parents and I . +Who supports the family ? +My father supports the family , and he is the sole breadwinner . My mother is a housewife . +Do you live with your family ? +Yes , we live a happy life together . +This is the good life ! We have it good don ’ t you think ? +Yeah of course ! Although , don ’ t you ever wonder what “ could have been ” ? +What do you mean ? +Well , sometimes I think of how things could have turned out if I had done things a little differently . +For example ? +Like for example , if I hadn ’ t studied architecture , I would have become an artist like I wanted to . +I see . Yeah now that I think of it , I wouldn ’ t have gotten married if I hadn ’ t moved to this town and met Sally . +You see ! Everything happens for a reason ! We wouldn ’ t even have met if I hadn ’ t been in that car accident ten years ago ! +Well , I have no regrets ! +I ’ ll drink to that ! +Excuse me ? I didn't hear what you said . +I asked you if you wanted some help . +I am new to this school and not familiar with this library . Can you help me ? +Certainly . What's your topic ? +I'm looking for information on tropical fish . +All right . You can use the computer over there , enter ' tropical fish'under subject . If you know the title of the book , enter it under ' title ' +Great , thank you . +You are welcome . +I hate landing in the sand trap ! Now I'm probably going to waste strokes getting it out . +At least you haven't landed in the water yet . I've done that on the last two holes . +Could you hand me my wedge ? I'll try ... +Here you go . I'll wait for you to get on the green before I putt . +No . you go ahead and putt it out . Then I'Il go . +No way , Mary . I'm going to let you go first . I don't want the pressure of putting first . +excuse me , is this the way to the Greta Wall ? +oh , it is really far from here . You ’ re going in the wrong direction actually . +I must have taken a wrong turn . +it doesn ’ t matter . Go back the way you came . After about five kilometers , you ’ ll see a hotel on the side of the road . It ’ s a big one . You can ’ t miss it . +and then ? +take the next right . Drive about one click further , and you ’ ll see the entrance of the highway to the Great Wall . +thanks a lot . +you ’ re welcome . +by the way , how long does it take ? +without traffic , it takes about an hour . +I heard the Great Wall closes early in the afternoon . Do you think I can make it before closing ? +yes , I think so . It doesn ’ t close until 5 o ’ clock . You still have plenty of time . +great ! Thank you ! +my pleasure , and have a good time ! +Hello , Deva , how are you ? +Can't complain . What about you ? +Not bad . Have you heard Wendy divorced her husband ? +I've heard . She looks quite depressed . +Yes . They used to be joined at the hip . +I heard they were just married for 5 months . +Yes , she said they couldn't communicate well with each other and they often argued over trivial things . +Yeah . Mixed marriage is tempting but crisis-ridden . +You said it . You know , they fall in love at first sight and quickly jumped into marriage . +Maybe they were just attracted to each other but too different to be married . +Yeah . We Chinese have quite different lifestyles and values from foreigners . +Definitely . That's why many cross-cultural marriages end in divorce . +We've heard so much about Chinese film stars divorcing foreigners . +That's true.Just hope Wendy can recover from the pain of divorce soon . +hi , betty ! +hi , Andy , how are you finding your new job ? +pretty good . My colleagues seem alright . So far everything is great . +that's nice . What do they have you doing over there ? +well , I work in the marketing department . The corporate culture is totally different from my last employer . Before , when I was assigned a task , I was totally on my own but here most of the work is don +that ' s really good . It's very important to feel like you are part of the team at work . +indeed . Team work is highly valued in this new company . I like our boss too . He is easy to get along with treats everybody with respect and appreciation . He's highly respected by all his employees . +that's great , that's good for a positive work environment and helps motivate employees . I wish my boss was like that . +true , take my former supervisor as an example . He was extremely controlling and overbearing . He always had to micromanage everything . +well , now you don't have to worry about that . This new place sounds really good . +yeah it is . +I heard you're getting married , James . Congratulations ! +Thank you , Wendy . I hope you'll be able to make it to the wedding . +I'm looking forward to it . +What lovely weather ! +It's so pleasant after the bad weather we've been having . +Let's go out and enjoy the fresh air . +All right.Let ' s go . +Do you keep any pets , such as cats , dogs ? +No , I'm scared of cats . +Oh , but why ? +I feel they're dirty . +I would love to be famous and have thousands of adoring fans . +Really ? I ’ m not sure that I would like all the attention . There have been numerous cases of paparazzi interfering with star ’ s private live in recent years . +I love being photographed ! If I were famous , I ’ d do interviews for all the top magazines , like cosmo and elle . +I wouldn ’ t mind having my photo taken a few times or being interviewed once or twice , but it would get tedious after a while . Imagine the things the gossip columnists would write about you . +No-one really believes gossip columnists . +I think you ’ ll find that many people believe what they read in gossip columns . You ’ d also have to be very careful about every word you said . If you appeared on a chat show and said something silly , it +I think you ’ re right about that . I ’ d need a good manager to be my spokesperson . I could do a lot of charity work , which would help a lot of people . +That ’ s a great idea . Which charities would you support ? +I love children , as you know , so probably a children ’ s charity . +You ’ d have to remember that anything you said or did might reflect on the charity , so you ’ d really need to be very careful . Anyway , I ’ d be the first to buy your posters and I ’ d attend your first book - +Thanks , but actually I was hoping I could ask you to write my biography . +It's terrible how things have changed.You remember there used to be trees on all these hills . +Really ? There aren't many left now . +No , they've all been cut down and now all the soil is washing away . +Were there any animals in the forest ? +Yes , I can remember it very well that there used to be all sorts of animals and birds.But nowadays you just don't see the birds that you used to see around here . +Henry , do you know how much we spent this month ? +No , I'm not clear . +we've spent $ 1,000 . +Don't make a fuss.The price is rising +Where are you living ? +I live in the southern part of this city . I rent a house . +Do you move a lot ? +No , I don't . +Hey , Gucci . I didn't know it would be a charity show . You can see there are many collecting boxes at the entrance . +Oh , I forgot to tell you this . The show is to collect money for children in need . And all the money from ticket selling will go to the Red Cross . +That's really a good thing . Let's do our part . +Good idea . +Who will sing in the show ? +A lot of stars , including Andy , Justin , Mendy ... +Mendy ? Are you sure ? I love her songs ! +Me too . She is so young and talented . She is not only a singer but also a great composer herself . +Yeah . Though she was so popular , I heard she managed to maintain a low profile . +She is a real star . Not a onetime thing . +But I also heard some people didn't like her music . I don't understand why . She is so amazing ! +Well , I suppose people have different tastes on music . Moreover , here stuff is really strong and creative . It takes time for people to accept new things . +You are right . Anyway , things will be different as the days go on . She can get it . I have faith in her . +Sure . That makes a good fan . Do you know what songs she is gonna sing tonight ? +Here is the programme . Check it out yourself ! +OK . +What's your hobby ? +Photograph . +What's the make of your camera ? +Olympus . +Do you own your own darkroom ? +No , usually I get my films developed at a photo studio , but I make my own enlargements . +Why ? +Because I can make many different kinds of pictures from one negative . That's more , but that saves money . +Lester , you are really fantastic at automobile repair . +Thanks , June . But I think I need to be certified as a mechanic 5 before I ’ m allowed to repair cars for a living . +That ’ s not a big problem . There are many small schools for adults like you who can study to be certified . +I guess I never thought of that before . +And you can easily get a student loan from a vocational school , or from the government . +Wow , you ’ Ve inspired me to do something ! +How is the college search going ? +It's a huge headache . I have no idea what I want to do . +But don't you want to study music ? Shouldn't it be easy ? +It should be , but there are too many options . My grades are good enough that I have a lot of choices , but after that ... +I know . You have to decide if you want to attend a school in a city or in the country , a big school or a small school , a public or private school ... +Yup , you understand . And my parents are trying to pressure me into going to a Catholic college . They both attended one and think that it combines a good education with good discipline . And the tuition is usually pretty low . +I see . Well , don't forget to talk to the college counselor at the school . He usually gives good advice and can help point you in the right direction . He gave me some information , and next week I'm going to take a look at some of the colleges he recommended . +Thanks for the information . And good luck in your college search . +I seldom heard the quarreling of her children . +Why do you say that ? +Because her children have been the age when they seem to quarrel all day long . +Oh , I see . She told me that she had learned very quickly how to pour oil on troubled waters , but not to pour oil on the flame . +She is a clever mother . +I haven't met you at the gym for a long time . +yeah , I quit my job , and started working from home . Recently I've got a project to deal with and don't have much time to work out . +why ? You have a decent salary , lots of promotion opportunities and a regular life of going to the office at 9 o ' clock and coming back home at 5 in the evening . +it's not about pay raise or promotion . You know , I hate getting up early in the morning and coming back home late at night . +then SOHO is your ideal work style . +yeah , as long as I have a computer and internet access , I can start working . I recently enjoy working in my own place and at my own pace . +and you don't have to work under that much pressure and control . +absolutely . I can decide when and what to do all by myself . +sounds great . Are there many business opportunity ? +yeah , I can find enough online . +it's good to have business around . But you should also do some exercise to keep fit . +thank you for reminding me . I'll continue to exercise as soon as I finish this project . +What did you say when she told you the news ? +I calmed up . And finally , I asked her to chew the cud for such an important decision . I could not have the heart to disappoint her with a blunt refusal . +But I put my foot down and insisted on her forgetting that . +How could have the heart to do that ? She needs warmth and help . +Can I borrow some money from you ? +No way ! +How do your spend your time after work or in vacation ? +In my spare time , I am fond of traveling and I always take a trip with my family . +But traveling is an expensive hobby , isn't it ? +You are deadly right . +I really have a good time here.Thank you very much . +Keep in touch ! +I promise . +Where is Pamela ? +Is she coming ? +She told me she'd be here . +They are announcing your flight . You'd better board the plane . +Are you rushing me ? +I am just reminding you about the time . You don't want to miss the plane , do you ? +I know what I am doing . Don't worry . Can you do me a favor ? +Name it and I'll do it for you . +Take care of Pamela when I am away . She is a nice girl . I don't want her to get hurt or anything . +I've got it . +Thank you . Now I see that you are my true friend . Most of my so-called friends left me at the moment my company went bankrupt . You are the only one who has stood by me the whole time . +I am just doing what I think I should do . +Thank you for being a friend of mine . +This isn't like you ... Well , I hope you will have a nice flight and a successful start in business . +Thank you . I have to leave now . If you see Pamela , tell her I'll write to her . +What's the weather today ? +It's fine today . +What was the weather like yesterday ? +It rained all day yesterday . The weather was awful last week . +What will the weather be like tomorrow ? +It's going to be sunny tomorrow . +Tom's new business will do well . +I don't think so . There's too much competition . +Hi , Charlie ! What are you reading ? +Hi , bob . I ’ m reading a biography ? +Who ’ s it about ? +It ’ s about Bob Dylan . +Who is he ? +He ’ s a famous American musician . +Who ’ s the author ? +It was written by Howard Sounds . +What do you think about it ? +It ’ s great ! I ’ Ve learned a lot from reading it . +Can I read it when you ’ re done ? +Sure , bob ! I ’ m on chapter 12 now , so I ’ m almost finished . +How many chapters does the book have ? +There are 15 chapters in total . +When do you think you ’ ll have finished reading it ? +I should be done by Friday . I ’ ll give it to you in class then . +Thanks . Charlie ! +No problem . Bob . +How are you getting along with your wife now ? +What can you expect ? Not that good . +What are you going to do then ? +Just let it go . +How are your work now ? +Not bad , just let it go . +I've been thinking about getting my hair cut . +I thought you were going to let it grow out long . +I said that , didn't I ? But I just don't know what to do with it . +You're in one of those in-between stages , aren't you . +Yes , it's not short enough to be wash-and-go and not long enough to do anything fancy . +Have you thought about wearing a hat ? +Everywhere I go ? +Well , it's one way to get through the in-betweens if you really want to grow it out ! +Didn't you say you were planning a trip to China ? I heard the northwest and north of China are experiencing severe sandstorms ! +I was planning to go to Beijing first and then go to northwest China ! Looks like I'm in trouble . +Definitely . I heard Beijing was experiencing seven degree strong winds ! That is nearly a record high ! +No way ! I don't think I've ever encountered winds that strong ! Are the storms affecting land and air transportation ? +Absolutely ! I don't think any planes are going anywhere . The sand being blown around has cut visibility in Beijing to less than 100 meters . But inseems Gansu Province is being hit the hardest . +That's exactly where I was planning to go ! +Well , this storm originated in the plateaus in northwest China . At the moment , that area is calmer . +Hey , Jenny . Would you like to go to dinner with me ? +I don't know . You know what they say about office romances . +No , I don't . What do they say about office romances ? +They say you shouldn't mix love and work . +That's silly . What I do on my own time is no one else ’ s business . Besides , it's pretty hard to meet people outside of the office when we spend long hours here . +You ’ Ve got a point . Once I dated one of my supervisors and all of my co-workers accused him of favoritism . Then when the relationship went bad , he fired me . +People fall in love with people they work with . That's a fact . +That may be true , but I don't want an inter-office relationship to affect my productivity . +If it does , it will only make you more productive , because we can support each other . +You are sounding like we are already married . +Good grief . All I did was ask you out . I am sorry . +Well , I don't feel right about it . +I am talking about dinner tonight , not a lifetime . +Most starts with dinner , but then it gets out of hand . Besides , haven't you asked out every woman in the entire office ? +I like company . +Company ? I heard about you from Linda . She said you were an octopus ! +What can I say ? I am a passionate guy . +Well , I hope you can find something else to be passionate about . +You want to go out with me and you know it . +In your dreams . Now if you don't mind , I've got some work to do . +Ok , I get the message . Hey , do you have any sisters ? +I ’ m looking forward to relaxing this coming weekend . +I hope that I can finally find free time too . I ’ Ve been so busy at work recently . +How might you spend the weekend . +I hope to do a little gardening . I find it very relaxing . +I might do that too . I hope the weather is nice . I could go and play some golf . +I heard that the weather should be good . There ’ s a possibility of a shower , but it ’ s not very likely . +Hopefully , we ’ ll both have relaxing weekends . +Of course , something could come up and stop that wish coming true . +Unfortunately , there ’ s always the possibility of some urgent work requiring our attention . +Do you drink the Robust Milk every day ? +Not every day , but occasionally . +It will make you as fit as a fiddle . +I don't believe ads.What ' s more , I'm already in perfect health . +In my country , we go to school from 8 o'clock in the morning until five in the afternoon . +Five days a week , too ? +Actually , five and a half.On Saturday , we have classes only in the morning . +Gosh ! +That's too much for us really . +Where are you going now ? +I'm going to try to find out where the school is located . +When do you start school ? +I'm going to register right now . +That's good . +Well , what about it ? As it happens I've got two tickets for next thursday evening . I thought perhaps . +Well , thanks all the same , Denise . But no I don't think.Sorry , I'm sure you would enjoy it . I'd like to Denise , but I'm busy on friday this week and next week too . +But I said thursday.The tickets are for thursday evening . +Thursday ? Oh , sorry . I meant thursday too . I mean I busy then too . +I see.Oh , well some other time perhaps . +Yes . some other time perhaps.Thanks again . +Where were you last night , at exactly nine twenty PM ? +nine twenty pm , I couldn't say . I cann't remember . +Are you sure you cann't remember ? +I've absolutely certain . +Were you in or out ? Can you remember that ? +I'm not quite positive . I think I went out at about half pass nine . +Did you see anyone come into the block flats ? +No , I didn't . +Sure ? +Quite sure . +Jim is a genius . He gets along well with everybody and he can always get the work done . +A boss likes him a lot . He says Jim is a good team player . +Everybody would like to have Jim on their team . Because he is funny and helpful and he can contribute a lot to the team he belongs to . +Maybe we all should learn something from him . +Right . +John , my father isn't there at all . Are you kidding ? +Poor , fellow , what's the date today , buddy ? +It's ... oh it's the 1st April , April Fool's Day . +You forgot all of about it , didn't you ? +Happy birthday ! Many happy returns ( of the day ) . +Thanks . +Hey , Joe ! Where have you been these past few days ? +I ’ Ve been busy with a first aid course that I started about a week ago at the Red Cross . +Cool ! I ’ Ve always wanted to do something like that ! Have you learned anything useful ? +For sure ! I mean we ’ Ve learned how to apply pressure to stop bleeding , how to check for a pulse , and even how to apply CPR ! +Have you treated any real emergencies ? +Well , they took us along with some paramedics.There was this guy who fell off his motorcycle and suffered a concussion as well as a couple of compound fractures . His wounds were pretty serious so they had to rush him to the hospital . It was intense ! +I can imagine ! I tend to faint when I see blood , so I think I won ’ t be taking up a course like that anytime soon ! +Hello ? +Good morning , Nathaniel . This is Leah calling from the International Student Office . +Good morning . +The reason I'm calling is because Ms . Collins will not be able to call you back until next week . +Oh . I had hoped she would have called me back yesterday . +She's terribly sorry about that . She had to leave the office suddenly and won't be able to return until next week . She hopes you understand . +Is there someone else I can talk to ? +She asked me to call you to book an appointment with someone else today . When are you free today ? +Any time after 2 pm today would be good for me . +Mr . Liu is available at 2:15 today . Will that work for you ? +I'd prefer to speak with Ms . Fonda . +I'm afraid she isn't available this afternoon . She has an opening at 11:30 this morning . Will that work for you ? +That will be fine . +Ok , we'll be expecting you at 11:30 then . See you then . +I work so hard that I do not have the energy to exercise . +That is just an excuse . You can always find some time to exercise . +But I work hard all the time for long hours . Often I have no time for lunch . Yet , I am still getting fatter . +Bill , you know that work is not the same as exercise as it is stressful but not relaxing . And skipping meals will not help you lose weight . In fact your body will only store fat if you miss meals . +I know you're right , but what can I do ? +How about going for a walk instead of sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper after dinner every night ? +But I'll miss the news . It's important in my business to keep up with events in China . +I know , I know . Have you got a portable radio ? You can listen to the news and get healthy at the same time . +That's a good idea ! +I'll always remember my college days . +Oh yeah ? +It was one of the best times in my life . It was tough , but I made it . I became a college graduate . +How did you feel when you graduated ? +It was a round day for me . My family attend the graduation ceremony . I was so nervous . I couldn't find my cap and gown , but all worked out in the end . +What did you do after graduation ? +I was planning to attend gradate school , but then I was offered a good job doing marketing , so I changed my mind . +Sounds like you're happy with your decision . +I sure am . So what about you ? How did you feel when you graduated ? +It was also a proud day for me , but I also felt like a kind of loss that day . +How could it be ? +While seeing others going to work or continue their study , I didn't know what I would do . +You didn't have an offer ? +I had one , but I didn't like the job very much . I wanted to attend graduate school , but I was afraid it would be too tough . +I think you lack in the power of decision . Once you make your decision , don't be overtaken by misgivings and fear . Just go full steam ahead ! +John's father got married again . +Married whom ? +If I tell you . , you must be completely taken aback . +Come on . Tell me what happened . +He married a girl who is only eighteen ! +Is that true ? But anyhow , it's none of our business , isn't it ? +Have a nice weekend ! +Thanks.You too ! +Do you have any plans ? +Well , my family's away and I can't afford to do much.What about you ? +Oh , I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet . +How many languages can you speak ? +I can speak French and German . +How well can you speak them ? +I can speak German quite well , but I can't speak French very well . +Can you help me to translate these sentences into German now ? +No , but I'll be able to tomorrow . +There are so many record players here.That is hard to choose . +Look at this one.It has a radio and cassette player and built in speakers . +I'd rather get one with separated speakers.They give a clear sound . +Yes , but we shouldn't get any thing too big.Remember it has to fit in with our living room furniture . +That's right.Now this one looks alright ? It's a detached or do you prefer this one ? It's Sony . +Let's have the salesmen for a demonstration . +Can ’ t you remember the days when you had the hots for me ? +You tried to seduce me . I fell for you . +By the way , are you going to the concert tomorrow ? +I am just thinking of it . Maybe I ’ ll go . +I think that show biz stars have a really easy life . They have lots of money , so they can buy almost anything they want . They ’ re famous , so everyone loves them . +I think they must have horrible lives . All the paparazzi take photos of them wherever they go and whatever they do . They must get sick of it . +I bet they love it really . Sure , they complain about it , but that just gets them more publicity , doesn ’ t it ? +I think that few of the show biz stars want any publicity for themselves . They only want it for their films . +No way ! They want publicity for themselves , so that they get invited to make more films , go to lots of cocktail parties , and even make albums ! They have such an easy life . They don ’ t even pay for Drin +Show biz stars have plenty of expenses . That ’ s why they need so much money . They need million of dollars to buy big , seclude houses and wonderful dresses . I bet most show biz stars would prefer to Wea +I don ’ t understand how you can have any sympathy for show biz stars . They ’ re overpaid , over-ambitious , and over-adored . +I think you should give them some credit . They ’ re very talented people and they deserve all the money they earn . They even donate money to charity to help people who are less fortunate than themselves +Come on ! They only do that to get even more publicity for their films and themselves . +What's the matter , Lisa ? You don't look too good . +I just found out that my husband is cheating on me . +You mean Mark ? He seems like such an honest guy . +That's what I thought . It seems that he's been seeing someone else for about two months . +Two months ? How did you find out ? +I asked for leave and was at home when the telephone rang . I picked it up and a girl asked to talk to Mark . She then asked if I was his sister , and I said no , I was his wife . She hung up immediately . +So you asked him about the girl who called ? +Yeah , he first said it was someone from work . He gave me a lame excuse , and so I pressed him on it . +What'd he do ? +He kept trying to make stupid excuses , and then broke down and admitted to a small indiscretion . +Indiscretion ? How can an indiscretion last two months ? I mean , you two have been married for two years ! How can he do that to you ? +I told him I would divorce him if he wouldn ’ t tell me the truth or end the relationship with her . +Good . I totally agree with what you did . +So do you believe in palmistry ? +Palmistry ? What is that ? +It's when someone takes a look at another person's palm to tell the future . +Oh , you mean palm reading . I've seen that before , but I don't believe in it . +Are you sure ? I've read a lot about palmistry and I've been able to tell a lot of accurate things about a person from his palm . Do you want me to take a look at your hand ? +Really ? You've read books about it ? Ok , then . But only if you want to . +Ok , let's see , well , you've got a long life line , which is good , and the love line is strong ... +What else do you see ? Will I be successful ? Will I make a lot of money ? +Hmm , hard to say , wait , yes , it looks like you will do well in business , and your ambition will help you a lot , but ... +What ? What is it ? What's the matter ? +You seem to have a large gullibility line . You believe everything that you're told . +Welcome back movie lovers to another Premier Movie Review . My name is Richard Clarke and I am joined today by the very erudite DavidWatson . +Thank you Dick . Today we are going to talk about the movie Lion King . Tell me Dave , what is your impression of this film ? +Well , I think this film is simply a fable , depicting man ’ s eternal greed for power , and in my opinion , it ’ s a very fine film . Even despite the accusations of plagiarism traditional folk tales from other countries.The musical score was amazing , the animation was very well done , and the story was simply enchanting . +I think otherwise . Even though the animation was technically strong , and as you say , the score and songs performed by Elton John were great , the film lacks a certain originality ; it lacked heart . And I would dare to say , it was too predictable . +Predictable ! How ! Come on Dick , It ’ s a G-rated movie ! It ’ s for the kids ! It ’ s not a thriller ! +Well , that ’ s just it . It did have some very dramatic and intense scenes For example when Mufasal dies , or the dark , grim portrayal of Scar . Even so , the film is linear . Mufasal dies , Simba runs away thinking it ’ s his fault . Falls in love and returns to retake what is rightfully his . It ’ s just too cliche . +How can it be cliche ? It ’ s a fable ! It ’ s telling a time-honoured story ! The movie make a point of how the hunger for power leads to corruption , and teaches children the value of respect , life and love . +You have always been so soft , Dave ! +Open your heart Dick . Don ’ t shut us out . +Anyway ... That ’ s all for today folks ! Join us next time as we talk about & quot , How to lose a guy in 10 days & quot , I ’ m sure you ’ ll love that one Dave ! +Hi , Walter ! +Hi , Sterling ! +What do you think of our new teacher ? +Professor Wood ? I think he's a brilliant scientist . +You're got a point there . But do you think he's a little absent-minded ? +I guess so . +It gives me great pleasure to introduce Mr ... eh Mr ... +Miss ! +Yeah ! May I introduce Mis ... eh ... Miss ... +My name is Jane Brown ! +Oh yeah ! Would you please welcome ... Miss Jan Brown . +I stayed online chatting with friends all night . It was great fun . +I don't understand . You don't even know the ' friends ' you are ' talking ' to ! +It is better I don't know them . So I can say anything I want . +Do you believe what they say ? +Who cares ? It's just online . It's not real . Do you want to join me tonight ? +Thanks , but I'm a lousy typist . +We scored six goals . +I don't believe it . +And I score three of them . +You are not serious ? +We had extra time of course . +I can believe that . +This is tough to say , Jordan , but I think we should break up . +Are you serious ? +Yes , I mean it . +But why ? Did I do anything wrong ? +No , we are just too different . This isn ’ t working . +Hey , come on . It ’ s too early to say that . We can fix things . +I have thought about it for a while . I think it ’ s time to move on for both of us . +But I still love you . +I ’ m sorry . +I knew this would happen some day ... +Then why didn ’ t you talk to me ? +Well . It ’ s not all my fault , Anna ... +I don't want to argue with you anymore . This is going to be tough , but Let ’ s try and be friends . +I would like that Anna , but I think I ’ ll need a little space for a bit . +I think we ’ ll be better off if we are apart . +Shall we keep pur friendship ? +Sure , let ’ s just be friends . +Who's that ? +Saint Jude-he's the saint of lost causes . Like my cousin , Anna , who can't stop getting pregnant . She's a lost cause . +Is that your cousin in the back ? +Yep . She's always got a bun in the oven . She was pregnant before marriage-a real sin in the Catholic Church . +What about birth control pills ? Don't they work on Italians ? +Ha-ha . Birth control and abortion are four-letter words in my family . +And I heard that Italian men have very active libidos . +Hi , Lander . What's wrong ? +I can hardly make ends meet these days . +Same here . I have't brought any new clothes for three months . +My income remains the same but prices just continue to rise . +True . The news says that there is a general increase in the price of daily necessities . +Definitely . I have to spend 300 yuan more on food every month . +You look a bit dull today . What's up ? +Well , my mum lost her job yesterday . +I'm sorry to hear that . Well , I heard that registered urban unemployment rate reached 4 percent this year , with more than half being women . +The supply outstrips the demand in the job market and women are in a disadvantageous position as a whole . +Yeah , it's true . What is she going to do ? +Well , she is thinking of doing some household cleaning or baby sitting in the community . +That's not bad . It could be a short-term alternative . Your mum can look for another one when the market improves . Things will work out eventually . +Thank you . I just hope she won't feel pressed . +You don't look too well . What's going on ? +I just lost my job . I'm just worried about how I'm going to pay the bills . +I'm sorry to hear that . Have you been looking for another job ? +I just started , but the job market is very bad right now . I'm not optimistic about it . +That's tough . What does your wife think about this ? +She's trying to be supportive , but I can tell she is very worried about our financial situation as well . +I have some friends who might be able to help you find a job . I'll see what they can do . +I really appreciate your help . +No problem . In the meantime , don't try to worry so much . You'll get through this . +Let me tell you what happened to my homework . +OK , go ahead--what is the excuse THIS time ? +Actually , I did it , but then it got lost . +Could you have gotten it done at another time ? +Yes , I could . +You have never missed an assignment before--when will you be making this one up ? +I'll make it up early next week . +That would work , but don't let it happen again . +I'll try . +That will solve it then . Let's work hard to not let it happen again . +Do you want to try your hand at tennis ? +Certainly I do . +It seems you're very fond of it . +I'd be happy to do something new . +This is how a holiday should be . Relaxing on the beach with a nice cool drink . +Isn ’ t it wonderful here ? The kids are enjoying themselves in the swimming pool . I hope it ’ s safe . +Don ’ t worry about them . They ’ re very responsible . Besides , there are many people there and there ’ s lifeguard employed by the hotel . Waiter ! Could I have another drink pleas ? Thank you . So , what shall we do this evening ? +The kids said that they wanted to go to a party at the hotel . There ’ s a special one just for kids . +So , we could try that restaurant that was recommended in the guidebook . Then we could go to a club . We haven ’ t been to one for ages . +That ’ s a great idea . We can really enjoy ourselves without worrying about the kids . +Now , how about going for a swim in the sea ? We shouldn ’ t sunbathe all day . +Hi , Nancy.How are you doing ? +Hi , Tom.Want a cup of coffee ? +Not right now . I've got to get another car and my old one is blown up . +Oh , hey , did you look in the classified ads ? +You mean used car ? +No , Ah ... single sellers . +Well , yeah , but I'd be getting somebody else's problem . +Uh huh.How about a used car ? They've got good ones now . +It's the same kind of deal though , you know , you never know what you're going to get . +Oh , hey , how about a new car ? They've got easy loans now.You ' d feel so good driving a new car . +Let's look at them all.Have you got a paper there ? +Oh my God ! I can't find my first period American literature class . +You look lost . Can I help you ? +Aren't you the guy who sat in front of me in our homeroom ? +Yeah . I'm Brad . +I'm Mary . I can't find my American literature class . +What room is it ? +It's 112 . +It's on the first floor by the nurse's office . +Thanks a lot , Brad . I've got to go before the bell rings . +I heard that Ann had divorced . +I suspect it's unavoidable . +Poor Ann . She did not love her husband at all . +Yeah . She married him at her mother's bidding . +Awful ! My cell phone is out of service again . Fred , can you lend me some money ? +How much do you want ? +200yuan . I bought a computer online , so I have to pay the mortgage . +I am so sorry to hear that . Is that enough ? +It's so nice of you . You really make my day . +Forget it ! We seemingly need to gather money little by little . +What you said is absolutely right . I will pay you back as soon as I get back on my feet . +No rush . You can give it back whenever you have it . +How do Mark and Jones compare , in your opinion ? +Generally speaking , Mark's personality is much more agreeable than Jones +May I venture to ask if you've decided to employ Mark ? +Possibly . +Mary , today is a great day for you . +How nice of you to remember ! +Oh , here's a little token of my affection . +You're so thoughtful.Thank you . +I am sorry , but I can't stay until the end of class . +Where do you need to be that is more important than school ? +I have an appointment . +Do you have a plan to make up your missed work ? +No , but I'll make sure someone helps me out this week with my missed work . +Are you going to go right away ? +I am leaving right now . +All right , but please remember that it is your responsibility to catch up . +Thanks , Professor . I'll make sure everything gets taken care of . +Goodbye , and try not to miss any more school . +An interesting meeting , isn't it ? +Yes , very . I thought the last speaker was especially good . +Let me introduce myself , by the way . My name's Thomas Bradley . +How do you do ? I'm Ted Nugent . +Sorry , what was your last name again ? +It's Nugent , N-U-G-E-N-T , but just call me Ted . +Ok , I'm Tom . +Glad to meet you . +And what do you do , Ted ? +Me ? I'm in the car business . +Salesman ? +Yes , that's right . And how about you ? +I work for American Airlines . +Oh , really ? What do you do there exactly ? +I'm in the Personnel Department . +It's terrible how things have changed . You remember there used to be trees on all these hills . +Really ? There aren't many left now . +No , they've all been cut down and now all the soil is washing away . +Were there any animals in the forest ? +Yes , I can remember it very well that there used to be all sorts of animals and birds . But nowadays you just don't see the birds that you used to see around here . +My son is alway complaining that I dump on him . He was very rude and told me to mind my own business . I cannot put up with that . +What does his dad say ? +John is a peacemaker . He simply doesn ’ t bother . He says he should give him a free hand . +You are married to a foreigner , huh ? So what ’ s it like ? +Well , the first year of our marriage , we had great difficulty getting along . The things that are important to me are not important to him . We had a lot of conflicts . +Yeah , I know what you mean . The first year of any marriage is difficult for all couples , not to mention two people from different cultures . +And now we have a two-year-old boy . We ’ re very happy that he ’ s healthy and smart . +Oh , so he ’ s half Chinese and half American . That ’ s unusual . What languages does he speak , then ? +Right now he speaks mostly Chinese , and he can say a few English words . But he will learn . +What does he look like ? Can people tell ? +Yes , people surely can . He ’ s whiter than the Chinese kids , and his hair is a little blonde . My husband says his eyes are very Chinese though . +Would you like to go to a concert tonight ? +I'd like to very much . +All right , then.There is one at the new concert hall . +Who's playing ? +It's the Powell orchestra . +Do you know what they are playing ? +They're doing a seventeenth-century program . +And who is directing ? +Well , I'm not sure of his name , but I know it's going to be his farewell performance . +Here ’ s your hot dog and beer . What happened ? Did I miss anything ? +Yeah , Cal Ripen just hit a home run . +What ’ s the score ? +Well it was 3 to 4 , but Ripen ’ s home run made it 5 to 4 since another player was on first base . +So Baltimore is winning ? +Right . +This is a really great place to watch a baseball game . +Yeah , there isn ’ t a bad seat in the place . +The fans are great here , too . Not like in Philadelphia . +It was a great idea to spend a day watching a game . +Yeah , it reminds you why they say baseball is America ’ s favorite pastime . +Well , it ’ s really too late . I have to go now . +Could you stay a little longer ? +Sorry , I can ’ t.My mother doesn ’ t want me to be late . I really have to go . +In that case , I won ’ t keep you.Remember to give me a call . +Thank you for your delicious meal . +Tell me why you saw the movie twice . +I think it's the most successful film in scene-setting and music . +You bet it . +Did you get a nice tree ? +Sure did . It's a beauty . Where do you want it ? +Let's put it over there . +Let's go to work . We want to have the tree ready to light up by evening . +Let's string the lights first.Then we won't have to mess up the decorations . +Hand me some globes and paper flowers , I'll put them on these top branches . +There , ... we're about done . +Let's switch the lights on . +OK . Here goes . +Well , I guess we're all set for another merry Christmas . +Have the aerobic classes any effect on you ? +Sure , great effect.My weight has dropped from 150 pounds to 120 . +Congratulations ! That's really something beyond my imagination . +Our house is too small . We had better have a big one . +How could we ever manage to buy a big house when we are always living beyond our means ? +Shut up . You should think how to make fortunes , not look for a squabble . +Can we have dinner together sometime this weekend ? +Ok , you name the day . +How about the second of March ? +What day is that ? +It's Friday . +Good . Where shall we meet ? +I cannot stay here any more minutes . +What is wrong with you ? +Tom is making so much noise . I have not a bit of peace and quiet all evening . +You can talk with him . +What does she do ? +She works as a teller in a bank . +Does she go to night school ? +Yes . She goes three times a week . +Why ? What does she want to be ? +She wants to be a manager . +What classes does she take ? +She takes classes in accounting and business . +You must be Wily . It's nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you , Mr . Wilson . +Tim , please . Please be seated . +Thank you . +So , Wily , you have been with IBM for two years ready for change ? +Well , I think I'm ready for new challenges . +What about you , Emily ? Have you dated anyone recently ? +I started to date someone recently , but it didn't work out . +That's too bad . What happened ? +Well ... that's a long story . +Daniel , you can't spit the gum everywhere . +Come on , just a little piece . +Do you know how many people chew gum everyday ? +I have no idea . +Just in Beijing , people consume 300,000 pieces of gum every day . +That's amazing . +If all the people spit out the gum like you , the whole world would become a big trash can . +Come on , you are making too big deal out of this . +I just want to remind you to behave yourself . +OK , dear sister , I see . This kind of thing will not happen again . +Is my hair done yet ? +Yeah , I just need to make the final touches . +How long until you're finished ? +I'm finished . What do you think ? +I like my hair so much . +Do you really ? +It's beautiful . +Well , thank you very much . +How much is it for my hair ? +You owe me $ 55 . +Thanks for everything . +You are very welcome . Come back again . +Listen , Karen , I need your help . I don't know anyone here yet . +I'm glad to help you . What's wrong ? +My mother-in-law just went into the hospital in L.A.Hank and I will be flying there tonight . +I'm sorry to hear it . What's wrong with her ? +Doctors aren't sure yet.But the real problem is Suzy . She has a bad cold , and we don't want to take her with us . But we don't know who can stay with her . +You need a babysitter . +Yes , I'd ask Jill , the girl I've had before , but I need someone overnight.Maybe even for two nights . +I could have Suzy stay at my place . +I don't want to do that to you , Karen . +Why not ? +Your own kids would get Suzy's cold . I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here . But I don't know who to ask . I need someone more mature than Jill . It might even be for two or three days . +I know who we can ask . There is a girl I know , Sara Ralston.She is 17 , and she will usually take this kind of job . I know her from my church , and I trust her completely . +I'd like to talk with her.This is short notice , I know . But Hank and I are leaving tonight . +I'll get you her number . I hope she can do it . She is very responsible . +I'm glad you know someone . I knew you would be the best person to ask about this . I don't want to insult Jill or her mother . I think Jill maybe could do it.But I'd rather have someone a little older . +I'll go home and get Sara's number . I'll call her first myself . +Great . Then call me and let me know if she's free . +Did you hear what happened in the Scott case ? Some of the sensitive material were leaked to the press . Now every newspapers is all over it . +Oh ... I bet the firm is fuming . Do they know who spilled the beans ? +I'm sure they have their suspicions ; there were only a few of the senior level layers who were privy to the case details . +What kind of repercussions will there be for the people who are held responsible ? +I'm sure there'll be canned ! And there also might be some legal consequences . +Why would the person who told have problems with the law ? +Because whoever let the cat out of the bag was breaking client confidentiality . +I didn't think about that . That's pretty serious . Are there investigators working on finding out who it was ? +I'm sure management is on top of it . +You are not being a good sport about this . +That's because you cheated . +I never cheat . +Yes , you do . +Hi , I'm Lucas , I just moved in next door . +Oh , hi Lucas , come on in . I'm Barbara . Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you too . +Would you like something to drink ? I've got tea and some grape juice . +Thanks . Some tea would be nice . Chinese tea is great . I really like your tea set . Where did you get it ? +Oh , there is a supermarket not far from here . But there is also a tea house around the corner , where you can get tea , taste tea and get a tea set as well . +Oh yeah , I saw the tea house the other day . I think I might go and have a look sometime . It's a nice neighborhood here . +You are right about that . It's quiet and very convenient . You can get to the bus and the subway stations within ten minutes ' walk . There's a grocery store , a book store , a gym , and many restaurants along the street . +There's a gym nearby ? That's exciting ! I really want to start to go to gym as soon as possible . I've been lazy this summer holiday and have put on some weight . +Well , if you want we can go together sometime . Actually I was thinking of going this afternoon , if you like , you can join me and I can show you the neighborhood along the way . +That would be wonderful . Thanks ! +What ’ s your favourite ball sport ? +I like basketball . I really enjoy watching the NBA games on TV . +Who ’ s your favourite player ? +I don ’ t really have one but I support Huston . +Do they have a good team ? +I think they do , but I ’ m biased . They have a good manager and a great coach . +I can ’ t keep up with the game . The players play so quickly that I can hardly see what they are doing . +I have the same problem . The players are really very skilful . I wish I could play that well . +You play for an amateur team , don ’ t you ? +Yes , I do . We ’ re doing pretty well this season . We ’ Ve won most of our games , but we ’ re not top of the league table . +How many more games are there this season ? +We ’ Ve got four more games . I hope we can win all of them . +I'm sorry , but I can't go . +Why not ? +I have to see my daughter . +When poyou have to see her ? +I have an appointment at one fifteen . +I like the kid.He ' s so lovely . +How old is he ? +Twelve.He ' s very sensible for his age . +Time flies ! +You're telling me . +How are you , Kim ? I haven ’ t seen you around for a few days . +Oh , I was out sick most of last week . I ’ m still not completely over it . You ’ d better not get too close ! +I ’ m sorry to hear about that . Why don ’ t you join me for a hot cup of tea ? It ’ ll be good for you ! +Sure , why not ? I could use a rest . +Hello , Mr . Brown , long time no see . Where have you been ? +Oh , I went on a holiday in the city of Chende . +Great . What do you think of it ? +The city is small , not very modern , but there are many mountains with lots of trees around the city , so the air there is pretty fresh . +Did you go to the Summer Mountain Resort ? +Certainly ! The most attractive place is that , it's very large ; it is 8 times the size of Forbidden City and 16 times the size of Summer Palace . The art of gardens is perfectly represented in it . +It sounds great , and is it really cool there ? +Yes , I think the reason is that there is a big lake , and many trees in the Resort . +What is the special local product ? +The main product of Chende is various kinds of ferine mushroom and the almond . The mushroom tastes really good , and it is very different from the common mushrooms , and the snack made of almond is delicious . +I hope to go there someday . +Gino , do you really need to go ? +Yeah , it's must for me . +But don't forget to give me a ring . +I won't , mom . +Take care of yourself . +I will . Bye , mom . +Bye , my boy . +John got a heart attack last night . +Oh really ? Is he all right ? +Not so good , though his nephew took him to hospital in time . +Poor old John ! I am ever so sorry . +Why are you always staring at Melissa ? Do you like her or something ? +Mind your own business . +Have you heard about the new iPhone ? +yes , I heard it's supposed to come out in June . Are you thinking about getting one ? +I'd like to . It's a cell phone , camera , PAD and mp3 player all in one . +if I had enough money , I'd buy one , but I don't even have enough to buy one of their shuffle spods . +how big is a shuffle iPod ? +the first generation iPod shuffle is about the size of a park of gum and the second generation iPod shuffle is about half the size of the first . +how many gigs of music can it hold ? +I think it's either one or two gigs . I can't remember . +how much do they cost ? +not much at all . I think it's about 100 dollars . +you're right , that's not bad at all . +do you have an iPod ? +I got one for my birthday when they first came out , but after the battery died out , I never brought another one . +why didn't you just buy another battery for it so you could use it ? +that's one of the problems with having an iPod . Though an iPod might have an above average battery life , once the battery is dead , so is your iPod . +You seem to like her very much , don't you ? +I can't deny that . She is so beautiful that I fell in love with her at the first sight . I wish I knew more about her . +But I heard that she had a three-year-old girl . +I can not belive that . It must be cooked up by someone . +Do you need help with something ? +I ’ m looking for this book . +Is there something wrong ? +I don ’ t see it on the shelf . +Did you check the computer ? +I already looked . +Did it say anything ? +It said that the book is on the shelf , but it isn ’ t . +I ’ m sure I can get it from another library . +Could you do that ? +I ’ ll let you know when I get the book in . +That ’ s great . Thank you so much . +Hello Bill , what's new ? +Bob and Mary are back together . +I'm glad to hear it . +Me too , they're such a nice couple . +Hey , Robert , what are you doing this weekend ? +I didn't have any big plans . +We are putting together a birthday party for Mary . +That sounds like fun . Where will it be ? +We thought it would be fun to have a pool party at Jay's house . +Oh good ! Can I bring anything ? +We will be providing hot dogs , hamburgers , and cake , but people can bring side dishes . +I am assuming that the dress is casual . +Dress casually and bring your bathing suit ! +Wonderful . Just e-mail me the time and date and I'll be there . +Jessica is going back to Holland next week . I've been thinking a lot about what to give her as a parting gift , but I still have no clue . +Is that the girl you spent almost every weekend with ? +Yeah , that's her . We had a lot of wonderful times together . She is really a special friend , and I want to get her something meaningful . +I am not good at picking gifts . Maybe you can ask if there's anything she needs to make it easier ? +I don't think so . That way it would lose all the charm . I want it to be a surprise . I want to show her that I care about her and I hope our friendship will last . +Yeah , that's nice . +Hmm , I think I've got an idea . Maybe I can get her an ever-green plant to take back home . +A plant ? That's creative . I'm sure ever time she waters it she'll think of you . But there is a problem . Do you think it'll be able to get through the customs ? +I hope so . I'll make sure to get a small one so she can put it into her suitcase . I hope it won't cause her trouble at the border . +I don't know . I think the idea of a plant going across borders with a friend is really exciting but maybe seeds would be safer . You don't want to get her in trouble . +Do you have any hobbies ? +Yes , I like collecting things . +Oh , that ’ s interesting , and but what kind of things ? +Several things , for example , Various coins , stamps , stones and so on . +Stones ? I know many people collecting coins and stamps but stones ? +Yes , stones . +well , I can ’ t just image it . +We're going dancing tonight . +Count me out . +Good morning Mike ! +Morning Sally ! What's up ? you seem in a hurry ! +I am having an exam at nine , It's already eight thirty . +Don't worry , I'll drive you . +Thank you very much ! +How are your cases coming along ? +Very well , thanks , I will probably finish next week , but this is still a lot of work , I have been worked on in for six months , and i ' m so closed to end . I can feel it . +Wow , Good for you.It sounds like a lot of work . I'm proud of you ! Is this the right building ? +Yes , It's only eight forty . Thanks so much ! +You're welcome.Good luck , bye ! +Have a nice day , bye ! +Oh , Mary , come in , please . I'm so happy to see you . +Happy birthday , George . Many happy returns of the day . Here's a present for you . +Oh , thank you , Mary . You're so nice . +I hope you like it . Oh , have the other guys arrived ? +They're all waiting for you . Let's join them . I'm going to cut the cake soon . +Let's go . +When shooting a gun , accuracy is very important . +You only need to tell me that once . +John , why don ’ t you go and do some gardening ? The lawn needs weeding . +Because I ’ m not in the mood , that ’ s why . +Well , don ’ t just sit there , do something . Come and help me in the kitchen . +Help you in the kitchen , I don ’ t feel like it . +Would you like to clear the table then ? +Really ? Do I have to do it ? +Not , if you don ’ t want to . +Well , isn ’ t there anything you want ? +Yes , I want to go out . Would you like to come ? +No , why should I ? I don ’ t feel like it . Besides , I ’ m in such a bad mood . +I just heard that you won the long-distance race . Congratulations on your victory . +Thank you . +So it is really worth your great effort . And hope you can keep the record you've made today . +I will try my best . +Oh , what a beautiful garden ! +These are my roses . The roses have been in flower for a week . +The garden looks lovely when the roses are in bloom . You must have a lot of pleasure in planting flowers . +Yes , you are right . I love flowers and hence have taken to growing them . I take care of my flowers every day as if they are my good friends . +You did a good job . But I got tired of working in the garden . +Oh , I see . People who don't understand the nature of flowers won't be able to grow them well . I can help you learn more if you want to plant flowers one day . In this way you need not be afraid of your own sweet flower-garden's being neglected . +Yes . Thanks . +Julia , why have you prepared a candlelight dinner ? Anything special to celebrate ? Did you get a promotion ? +Honey , don't tell me that you forgot our anniversary , did you ? +Oh , my dear , how can I forget such an important day ? I was just kidding . Look at this box . +What's in it ? +Have a guess . +A necklace ? +No . +I have no idea . +Open it now . +Oh , my god . A diamond brooch . It's so beautiful . You're so kind to me , A . Thank you ! +You're welcome , honey . I hope we will celebrate our golden wedding anniversary in future . +What do you say we stop in at that Burger King over there and grab a bite ? +Forget it ! If you think I ’ d ever set foot that inferior restaurant again , you gotta be nuts . Last time I ate that food , almost vomited . The service in there is terrible . It was the first time I ever stiffed a waiter +Yeah , not seeing a single person anywhere informed me . Hey ! How about that one over there ? +Oh , give me a break ! That place is too lavish for us . +Easy . It ’ s on me . +In that case , I ’ m right behind you . +what did you do over the weekend ? +I went a global warming rally in London . It was fantastic to be around so many people who care about the environment . +do you think there's anything we can do to reverse the damage that's been done already ? +it might not be possible to fix the problems that we've created for ourselves , but there are lots of things we can do to prevent more damages from happening . +like what ? +well , we can use public transport instead of taking our cars for a start . +what else can we do to protect the environment ? +if you do have to drive , you should make sure that your car runs on unleaded petrol . Also , your home should use sources of renewable energy . +how about recycling ? Does that actually help ? +yes . You should take your glass , paper , plastic , cardboard , and tin cans to a recycling center . +what do you think is the biggest worry for our future ? +I think that the issue of greatest concern is having enough sources of clean water for everyone . +I had no idea you were such as environmentalist before ! +to be honest , in order for the earth to continue to be a habitable place , we're all going to have to become more interested in the environment . +Why are you going out with Andy ? +Because I like him . +Me , too . I think he ’ s really a shoulder to cry on . +Hi , Mikel . What's with you ? You look angry . +No , I just check my weight , I'm getting fatter . +True , you are getting a really pot belly , aren't you ? +I'll get you for that comments , George . +Just kidding , Mikel . Why don't you come work out with me ? +ah , I don't know a fit works . Last time , all I saw the gym were bunch of lidos , like me . +It works if you keep at it . Come on , let's go ! +All right . But so help me it's a better work . +This feels great . I'm all reed up . I can keep going all night . +Not me . I'm too hot and I'm too tired . +Exercise has no benefit unless you sweat like a pig . +Well , that's not for me . +Thanks for coming , it was a real blessed . +It wasn't as good as you think . +You'll get used to it , Mikel , trust me . +Good morning , Miss Wang . How beautiful you look today ! +Thank you . I'm wearing make-up . +Who taught you to put on make-up ? +It's me . I have studied make-up at a beauty shop . +Can you teach me how to do make-up ? +Of course . First , use eye shadow to heighten your eyes . +What eye shadow do you think is the most fit for me ? +I think pink eye shadow is popular among Chinese girls . +How do you protect yourself from chapped lips ? +I suggest you use lipstick , which also accentuates your lips . +How did you grow such long nails ? +You have to pay attention to trimming them from time to time . +Oh Gush ! The first day of my career is over . I can not breathe now after dealing with so many documents . But I heard the notice that our company will hold two-week staff training . +Stop fussing ! It is said that the training is important for our newcomers . And my company also informs me to attend the training next week . +But for me , the training is waste of my precious time . +I disagree with you . Companies usually make a workable and reasonable plan for the trainings , so as to improve new comers ' understanding of the company and its rules in short time . Through the training , we get to know many things , such as the corporate culture and spirit . Our newcomers can really grasp the essence of the company +You look like being on cloud nine . +I am . +What has made you so happy ? +I think I'm in love . +Are you ? Who's the lucky girl ? +Her name is Jenny . +How did you meet her ? +We are in the same math class . Our teacher sat us next to each other . +What do you like best about her ? +She's very funny . She makes me laugh all the time . +I guess it was fate working to bring you together . +Whatever brought us together , I'm happy . +How will you spend this lovely weekend ? +I have no idea , any suggestions ? +We haven't played chess for a long time . How about playing chess ? +It must be fun . But you know , I am not good at chess . I never won since I've learnt to play chess . +Don ’ t worry , I will teach you how to win . +OK , settled then . +See you tomorrow . +See you ! +Alright everyone settle down . Let ’ s get started.As you know , an important aspect of becoming a good citizen is understanding the genesis of our legal system . It is not enough to simply memorize our laws , it is necessary that we comprehend why and how they were formed . This brings me to our topic for today . Does anyone know what we celebrate on May first ? +Cinct de mayo ? +No , that ’ s May fifth in Spanish , James , no wonder you are failing my Spanish class . No , May first is International Workers ’ Day . +Do we get a day off from school then ? +No ! It is not considered to be a national holiday here in the US , but in other countries it is . +Www , man ! +In the nineteenth century , working conditions were appalling , with workers being forced to work ten , twelve , and fourteen hours a day . Support for the eight-hour work day movement was growing rapidly , despite the indifference and hostility of many union leaders , and by April 1886 , 250,000 workers were involved in the May Day movement.Previous legislative attempts to improve working conditions had failed , so labor organizers took drastic measures . They passed a resolution stating that eight hours would constitute a legal day ’ s work . And , on May First 1886 , the resolution took effect . +Cool ! Is that why we only work eight hours now ? +Yes ! But the happy ending came at a high price.On May third , 1886 , police fired into a crowd of strikers at the McCormick Reaper Works Factory , killing four and wounding many . A mass meeting was called for the next day to protest the brutality . +And then what happened ? +Well , as we say , the rest is history ... +What's that book you have under your arm ? +It's the best seller everyone's been talking about for the last six months . +How in the world did you get a copy ? I've put a hold on it at the public library for weeks and I'm still waiting my turn . +I checked it out of the rental library . It only costs five cents a day . +Is it really worth paying for ? +I can't tell yet . I haven't got beyond the first chapter . +If it's any good , I'll buy a copy when it comes out in the pocket edition . +Hey Lucas , how was your trip to Paris ? +It was wonderful , but I was so tired . +Did you go to the top of the Eiffel Tower . +Yes , that was the first thing we did . We went all the way to the top . There were visitorsfrom all over the world taking photos there . +What else did you see ? +Art galleries , cathedrals , statues , fountains , palaces , bistros , there's really too much to say . +You must have had a great time . +Yes , at the beginning we were all excited and had lots of fun . However , on the third day of travelling in the city , I felt sick I think I had something bad to eat but it passed by the evening . +Yes . you need to be careful with what you eat when you're abroad.sometimes new food might disagree with you . +On the fourth day , we went to taste the French cuisine . That was really fantastic . And no stomach problems . +That is great . Everyone says French food is wonderful . +You'll have to try for yourself some day . +You have your ducks in a row . +Thank you very much . I will devote all my efforts to my work . +Were you born in the U . S . , Melissa ? +No , I wasn't . I came here in 1992 . +How old were you ? +I was seventeen . +So , did you go to college right away ? +No , because my English wasn't very good . I studied English for two years first . +Wow , your English is really fluent now . +Thanks . Your English is pretty good , too . +Yeah , but I was born here ! ! +Can I help you ? +Yes , would you like to tell me what's playing for tonight ? +Sure . There is a folk concert tonight . +Are there any good seats left ? +Sorry . There are only some seats in the back . +Well , what time does it begin ? +It begins at 7 p . m .. +OK . I see . +How many tickets do you want ? +Just two . +OK . Fifty yuan for each . +Here is the money . +We have a live show of a football match this Friday night . +What're the teams ? +Brazilian against AC Millan . +I bet AC Milan will lose . +How time flies ! Why I always feel haven't enough time to work and study ? +Yes , I also felt that . I'm always busy , and have no time for rest . I don ’ t know how to make use of time . +Maybe we should make a plan and list what we should do next , and follow it . +That's a good idea . And in this way we will know how we spend our time and spare a lot of time to do other things . +You are right . Let ’ s stop idling around and do something . +Yeah , time is money . We really need to make good use of it . +Hi dude , you look upset , what's up ? +haven't been sleeping well recently . +what's the problem ? +every night my roommates watch the Korean soap operas till mid-night . I am not a big fan of Korean shows and I don't know how to tell them to stop without hurting their feelings . +well , you can simply tell them you want to sleep , or make an arrangement for a time when the room should quiet down . +yeah , I know , but I find these sorts of things hard to say . They won't like it if I tell them to turn off the TV . Now I just hope the show will end soon . +I understand . I used to live in a dorm with four people . I was great in some aspects . We always went out and and had fun together . But on the other hand , when I wanted some quiet time , and people kept +yeah , I crave my own space . i just so tired of having people around me all time . +I'd better be going . +So soon ? Why don't you stay a little longer ? +I wish I could , but it's already late . +Oh , it's a pity that you have to leave . +Thank you for a wonderful meal . +I'm glad you enjoyed it . +Are you an American ? +Yeah . +Why don't you speak English ? +Oh , my mother is a German , so I can speak German . +Oh , do you like Chinese ? +Yeah , I'm eager to learn Chinese , but it is too difficult for me . +I want to study German . Can we exchange lessons ? +Very Good . I'd like to do that . +When will we begin ? +How about tomorrow night ? +That's all right . +You seem depressed these days . What's the matter ? +I went bankrupt and I'm flat broke now . +If I can do anything for you , don't hesitate to let me know . +Thank you . +You ’ re all set now ? +Oh , thank you so much . +Really , it was nothing . +I really appreciated it . +I was happy to help . +It was so kind of you . +Don ’ t mention it . +You ’ re a real friend in need . +Haven't seen you for a long time +I've been away on a vacation . +I bet you had a wonderful time +Yeah , beautiful sunshine , pleasant scenery and many new friends +Sounds great +I hear you have just shown your hand first to Lin Ping . +Yes . +If I were in your position , I wouldn't give up an inch . +I regret to say I can't accept your suggestion . +Have any plans for the weekend , Tom ? +Yes . I am going for a hike around the Qinghai Lake . +Oh , do you go hiking often ? +I go as much as I can . I love hiking , because you can really get in touch with nature . +It would be nice to get out of the city . Do you want some company ? +Sure . But it will be a long hike 30 miles in three days . Have you been hiking before ? +Yeah , I go a lot too . I saw a bear and a lion on my last hike . +Wow . You must have been pretty far away from the city . +Yeah , my friend and I hiked in a very wild part of the national forest . +Well , bring him along to . We will have a great time this weekend . +Thanks . I will ask him . +Has the game started yet ? +Yeah , about 5 minutes ago . +Who's winning ? +The Bulls , of course ! +What ! That wasn't a foul ! C ’ mon , ref ! +Don ’ t worry , Shan always screws up free throws . +You were right ! He didn ’ t make the shot ! +That was a great shot ! A three pointer , yeah ! +Did you see that ? He traveled and the ref didn ’ t call it ! +This ref needs glasses . Hey ref , open your eyes ! I can ’ t believe he didn ’ t see that ! +Okay ... end of the first quarter ... Alright , I ’ m gonna make a beer run . +I heard that Kevin got divorced . Is that true ? +Not so bad , but Kevin does have problems with his wife . +What ? +His wife always complained that Kevin's salary was too low and got no promotion . +Poor Kevin , we should do something for him . He is a nice guy and does his job well . +Yeah , I agree with you . But you know , it's just one of those things . +Honey , do you know what color the carrot is ? +Mom , it's orange ? +Wow , my son is so clever . +Mom , that's a stupid question . +Really ? +I am not a child at all . I know more . +Oh , my son looks like a grown-up . +Sure . Mom , I can take care of you . +No kidding . So tell me what's your favorite color ? +I like blue . You see , that's the color of the sky . I wanna be a superman . +Why ? +I hope I can fly to any place like superman . So I can touch the sky . +OK , superman . Put on your cape , we are going to fly home . +Thanks for inviting me to work out with you , Joan . +Don't mention it , let's go in . +Yeah , this place looks great . Wow , look at her , she can certainly get down , can't she ? +She sure can . Are you jealous , Leslie ? +A little , I wish I could do that . +You can ! With a little practice . +Look at him , he's buff . +I think he's hot too . +How do they all get in such tiptop shape ? +Exercised over and over . Exercise is a key . +That's it . I decided to turn over a new leaf . I'm going to exercise every single day . +Good for you , Leslie ! +wow , it that your sports car ? +yes , do you like it ? +I love it ! I used to always want to drive a green jaguar . Is it in good condition ? +it looks good on the outside , but the inside is a different story . It needs a lot of servicing before it can go out on the roads again . +what's wrong with it ? +well , first of all , it needs a new engine , which is extremely expensive . +when's the last time you had it serviced ? +it must have been a few years ago now . +I thought all cars needed regular servicing on a yearly basis . +they do . Once my son was born , there was no reason to drive this car anymore . It's only a two-seater , you know ! +what else is wrong with it ? +the heating controls don't work anymore , so it always feels like it's about 100 degrees in the car — even in the summer ! +anything else ? +the brakes don't really work that well anymore either . +why don't you get it all fixed ? +it costs more than you think to run a car , especially when there are so many things wrong with it ! +well , let me know when you can get it fixed . I ’ d love to go for a ride in it ! +Hello , Kith , can you and Alice come around this evening ? We prefer your coming . +I think we would be able to make it . What time shall we come ? +About 7 o'clock . +Shall we bring any thing ? Some wine ? +No , not really . Just bring yourselves . We would like to your presence . +Hello . May I speak to Mary , please ? +Speaking . Who's calling , please ? +Hi , Mary . This is Tom . +Oh , hi , Tom . How've you been ? +Just fine . I say . Aren't you busy tomorrow evening ? +Let me see . Uh-huh ... no , I guess I'll be free . +Well , uh ... why not dine out together and go to the movies ? +Sounds like a good idea . +Okay . I'll pick you up at 6:00 . +Thank you for inviting me . See you then . Bye , Tom . +Well , my particular interest is collecting stamps , especially the rare ones . What about you ? +I ’ m afraid that ’ s not my cup of tea . I just find skin-diving attracting . +So have you ever been to the stamp display of the town ? +There are so many flavors of ice cream to choose from ! +Yes , there must be about a hundred . Do you have a favorite ? +I love fruit flavored ices the best . +I know , fresh fruit flavored is the best ever . +What is your least favorite ice cream ? +I don't like peppermint ice cream . +Yeah , I know what you mean . +One time , I tried garlic ice cream . +That could be interesting . +That doesn't sound like a good choice for today though . Let's order ! +I don't want to do the damn dishes . +Watch your language or you'll be spending the weekend in your room . +Good morning , Paul ! +Hi , good morning , you are so early today . +Yes , traffic wasn't much today , so I made it to the office earlier . +I see . How long does it take you to reach the office every day ? +Well , about an hour or so . +Wow , that ’ s quite a long journey . Do you drive a car ? +No . I take public transportation . It's safer . +You are right ! But I get up a little late . That gives me no other option but to travel by motorcycle . +Well , both have advantages and disadvantages . +I usually get a lot of information on the computer and use E-mail to send messages to my friends . +Me too.Recently , I'm fascinated with net-chat . I've made many friends on the net.Every day I talk to them and share many interesting things with them . I really enjoy it . +Don't you think it ' s a sheer waste of both time and money ? +I'm afraid not . Every coin has two sides . I think using internet has a great deal to do with human interaction . +Do you believe in UFO's ? +Sure . A UFO is just a space vehicle from another planet . If you think about it , our space shuttles are UFOs . +I've never thought about it like that before . +I've seen photos of UFOs in America before , but they've all looked doctored up . +Do you think that there's life on other planets ? +I think there must be . +Why is that ? +I don't't think it would make sense if we were the only beings in this whole world . The world is just far too big for that . +Do you think that there's intelligent life trying to contact us ? +No , but we're trying to contact them . +I suppose you're right . +I think that countries are working hard to find a planet that we can live on in the future so that when global warming destroys this planet , humankind will not become extinct . +Do you really think that global warming Wil destroy Earth some day ? +There's a lot of evidence that suggest it will , but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon . +What do you think of shopping ? +I don't mind shopping for food and other daily needs . +What do you think of big department store ? +It's fun walking around them , but their displays are so good I'm tempted to buy things I don't really need . +Nice and warm again , isn ’ t it ? +Oh , it ’ s lovely . Think of the nasty weather we had last week . +How are you these days ? +Fine , thank you . And you ? +Fine today , though a bit under the weather last week . +Martha . What's wrong ? Why are you crying ? +Jake just broke up with me . +I'm sorry . When did this happen ? +Yesterday . I didn't even know it was coming . He just told me he found someone else . +What a jerk . He doesn't deserve you . +But it still hurts . I thought I loved him . +He didn't treat you that well either . Maybe you don't want to hear this , but I think you can do better . +Better or worse , it doesn't matter . I had a lot of feelings for him . I really liked him +It must be really painful . I remember when Josh and I broke up . I was crying for a week . +I know . I'll get over him . My first break up was painful because I was naive . +Exactly . You'll find someone again . You should get your mind off of this . Let's go shopping . +Maybe tomorrow . I don't feel like it tonight . +How about coffee down the street ? +Sure . +I got a ninety-five on my test . +So what ? I got a ninety-nine . +How can you keep in touch with your aunt in America ? +Oh , I make a phone call once a month . +It's very expensive , right ? +Yeah . +Why not send E-mail through the Internet ? +Is it convenient and cheap ? +Sure . You can send E-mail to each other every day through the internet . In addition , you can make a phone call through the internet , too . +Really ? I'm so glad to hear that.But I don't know how to get access to the Internet.Could you show me ? +No problem . I'll tell you . +I'll appreciate it very much . +Can I help you ? +Yes , I need to apply for a parking permit . +Are you a professor ? +What ? Are you kidding ? I'm only 22 years old ! +Yes , I am kidding.But don't you know only professors and students with disabilitiescan apply for parking permits ? +Yes , I know . I have a disability.My hip was broken last year . And I can't walk well . +Oh , I'm sorry . I didn't know . +It's alright . You didn't see me walk to the desk . +Here is the application form . I also need to see your student ID and your permission letter from the university . +My permission letter ? +Yes , the letter that certifies you have a disability.And it must certify your disability entitles you to a parking place . +I was told I should have the letter sent directly to your office . +Yes . Or you can bring it yourself . +But I asked them to send it to you directly . +Let me look in the file then . Maybe we received it . +My name is Derek Schneider , S - C - H - N - E - I - D - E - R . +Yes , here it is.Alright . Then I just need your completed application form , and I will be able to process your request . +Good . I will sit over there and fill out the form . I will give it to you in a few minutes.Oh , by the way , can I apply for any parking lot I want ? +The form has a map on the back . You may specify your top four choices.We will give a spot in the lot that has an opening . +I see . Thank you . +You're very welcome . +It's too hot to read . +We'd better go out for a walk . +Which season do you like best ? +Spring . +How about summer ? +I dislike it most . +Why ? +Because the hottest season is summer in a year . +But sometimes summer is more charming than the other seasons . +Will you be at the family reunion next year ? +Yes , we'll be there , come hell or high water ! +I watched a very interesting documentary about plants yesterday evening . It was called “ unusual plants ” and looked at several species of plants from around the world which have unusual features . +Really ? Tell me about some of the plants they showed . +Well . There was one type of plant that catches insects and eats them . +Is that type of plant found in this country ? +No , it isn ’ t . it ’ s a pity , because I ’ d like to see it in action . +So would I . what other unusual plants did they show ? +They showed flowers that only provide their nectar to one type of butterfly or bee . The insect has to be the exact size to get the nectar . Other insects cannot get it . Of course , when the insect collects the nectar , it also takes some pollen from one flower to another . +That ’ s very specialized . So , the insects and the flowers rely on each other . If one became extinct , the other would too . +That ’ s right . That ’ s one reason why it ’ s so important to protect every species . +I see . The plants that fascinate me most are cacti . I find it amazing that they can survive in such dry desert conditions . +According to the documentary , they have an incredible ability to find water supplies , however small , and then store them without losing much through evaporation . +That ’ s why they often have long roots to find water spines instead of leaves , to reduce water loss . +I have some good news for you . +What's that ? +Jenny is getting married . +Great ! Who's the bridegroom ? +Tom , that lucky guy . +The guy always hands the girls in a line . When did he propose ? +Last week , It said that he fell in love with Jenny at Mrs.Whit ' s party last Monday as soon as he saw her . +My gosh ! How romantic ! When's the big day ? +July 4 , the National Holiday . +Will it be a church wedding or a civil ceremony ? +Jenny plans to hold it in church . +Who is the best man ? +Guess ! +Nobody is OK , but you ! +You know , Tom is my best friend and he asked me to be his best man . +Did you promise him ? +Yes , I did . +Ben , what are you doing ? +Well , I would say that I ’ m just drifting - - here , in the pool . +Why ? +Well , it ’ s very comfortable just to drift here . +Have you thought about graduate school ? +No . +Would you mind telling me then — what were those four years of college for ? What was the point of all that hard work ? +You got me . +Now listen , Ben . Look , I think it ’ s a very good thing that a young man — after he ’ s done some very good work — should have a chance to relax and enjoy himself , and lie around , and drink beer and so on . But after a few weeks I believe that person should want to take some stock in himself and his situation and start to think about getting off his ass . +Peter , have you finished your English composition ? +No . But I ’ m working on it . +Class starts in twenty minutes . You have to turn it in at the beginning of class today . +I know . I know ! +Do you think you can finish it on time ? +Don ’ t worry . I ’ ll get it done very soon . I ’ m almost finished . +You ’ d better hurry ! +Well , it would be a lot easier to finish if you stopped talking to me . +Sorry ! +How many orders do we still need to pack , Gale ? We've been packing all day . +We still have to do about ten more . +Well . I am really tired from packing all of the stuff all day . And it's about time to clock out . +I know . Maybe we can finish it tomorrow . +Why not ! These orders are not urgent . We could do it first thing tomorrow morning +All right . Let's call it quits and go home . +See . Great minds think alike . +Tom , did you see the film last night ? +Yes , I did , I thought it was a failure . +Do you really think so ? I don't think so . It wasn't that bad film at all . Didn't you hear the applause of the audience ? +Well , maybe so . But I still think everyone has their rights of their own opinion . +Well , I don't see the point of arguing this . +Are you OK ? +Yeah . Why not ? +Because ... I heard John got married yesterday . +Oh , you went to the wedding ? +No , he didn't tell me about it . Don't feel bad . +I'm OK . I promise . Maybe you don't know that I have done with him for a long time . +How do I apply to an American university ? +You should go to the library to find some information about American universities , and write to the Admission Office . Then the Admission Office will send you application forms and other related materials . From experience , many applicants write to several universities instead of just one . +I was told that it took a lot of time and effort to apply . +That is true . I'll list for you the requirements of almost all the universities . First of all , you need official transcripts of your undergraduate work , three letters of recommendation from your professors who know your competence , and the official TOEFL ( Test of English as a Foreign Language ) score ( It's usually 550 ) . Then you need a financial guarantee , and an application fee of 25 dollars . +What's to come next ? +If they agree to enroll you , they will send you a TAP - 66 Form . With TAP - 66 , you can apply for a passport from our government , and then apply for a visa from the US Embassy in Beijing . +How long will it take to go over all the procedures ? +From 3 to 6 months if everything goes well . +Thank you . I appreciate all your help . +You are welcome . Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions . +Well , speak of the devil . +What do you mean ? +I was just thinking about you the other day . +You were ? +Mom , you know that Andrea and I sometimes worry about you . +Really ? Why would you worry about me ? I ’ m just fine . +You ’ re almost 70 years old , Mom ! Don ’ t you think it would be better for you if you moved in with us ? +No way ! I like my apartment , and I like to be independent . +Do you ever get lonely living alone ? +Not at all . I see you and your family twice a week , and I enjoy seeing my own friends . I ’ m too busy to feel lonely ! +Do you have any plans for Veteran ’ s Day ? +You mean Armistice Day . +Well , as you know , on November 11th the allies signed a peace treaty with the Germans , also known as the Armistice Treaty . This marked the end of WWI and many countries around the world commemorate this date under names such as Remembers ’ Day . In Poland it ’ s their independence day ! There ’ s a lot going on around the world on this day . +Wow , I didn ’ t know ! Probably because I flunked history in school . +Are you sure you heard right ? +Yes , he is running for class president . +I don't believe you . +Take my word for it . +These days my son has turned his computer into an electronic playground . He plays football , rides horses , drives racing cars , and does a whole bunch of other things on the computer . The funny thing about it is that , no matter what he plays , he always wins first place . I wonder if he'll be able to cope with a defeat in real life . +Don't worry . He'll cross that bridge when he comes to it . My son reads a lot on his computer and uses e-mail to send messages to his friends almost every day . He's really absorbed by the discussions . +That's exactly like my wife . She spends at least two hours a day on the computers discussing things ranging from stock prices to soft-ware standards . +I guess using a computer has a great deal to do with human interaction . Getting in touch with each other must be more fun to your wife and my son than the coolest computer games or the hottest information . +I'll participate in a quiz about the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing . It will be held tonight . Will you come ? +Sure . What do you know about the Olympic Games on the past ? For example , do you know where and when the first Olympic Games were held in the ancient times ? +It was held in 776 B . C . at Olympia . It also has a long history of more than 2700 years . +Haven't the Olympics been stopped for a long time ? +Yes , there were no games in 1916 , 1940 and 1944 , because of World War I and World War II . +I see . Look , do you know what that emblem means ? I've seen it so many times , but I don't know what it stands for . +Oh , it's the Beijing 2008 Olympics ' Emblem . It's a Chinese seal , meaning that Chinese people warmly welcome the friends from all over the world . +I see . I believe there will be lots of foreigners coming to Beijing to watch the Games . +Sure . +I plan to buy a car this year . +How do you pay for it ? +I'm going to work in holidays and pay by installments . +Tell me if you need help . +What's your favorite season ? +I like the freedom of summer with no school . +Yeah , and all those fun summer sports and activities . +And I like the festivities of winter with Thanksgiving , Christmas and New Year . +Oh , me too ! All the family getting together ... +And I really like the smells and colors of spring . +I like the feeling then that school is almost over ! +But I must say , if it were only for the weather , I like autumn most ! +One of my students told me she was very depressed today . +Why ? +Her father is dying . +Oh , that ’ s very sad . +Yeah , she ’ s broken up about it , poor kid . +What did you do ? +I talked to her for a while , but she ’ s really depressed . So , I made an appointment with the school counselor for her . +That ’ s a good idea . The counselor is a psychologist . He ’ s better trained to handle these sorts of things . +Yeah , that ’ s what I told her . I ’ m glad she ’ s reaching out for help , instead of trying to deal with this on her own . +Yeah , me too . +It ’ s rather cold . Isn ’ t it +Oh . Yes . It is +Shall I light the stove ? +That ’ s a good idea +Well . What ’ s the climate like in your country ? +It ’ s mild . but it ’ s not always pleasant . +Which season do you like best ? +I like spring . The days are long and the nights are short . The flowers in blew . We go on picnics +Good afternoon , Sam . +Good afternoon , Tina . +What are you going to do tomorrow ? +I'm not sure yet . And you ? +I would like to go skating . Feel like going with me ? +Is skating interesting ? +I think so . Fresh air , white snow . It's so comfortable . +But I can't skate well . +It doesn't matter , I can teach you . +It's very kind of you . +Can you play tennis ? +Yes , I can . +It is interesting , isn't it ? +Yes , it's very interesting . +Can you teach me ? +Sure . Take the tennis racket . Now , throw the ball up , and hit it with the racket . Like this . +Let me try . Oh , I missed ! +Throw the ball up high . +High ? +Yes , very high . Over your head . Then you will have time to hit the ball . +Oh ! I hit it . +Well done ! +Thank you . I think I like playing it . +What was the party like last night , Jean ? +Not bad at all , thanks . There were one or two interesting people there.Why couldn't you come ? +Well , I couldn't get away from work early . And when . I got home I had a headache , so I had to go straight to bed . But I was over-tired , because I wasn't able to get to sleep for hours . +What a shame . Why didn't you take a sleeping pill ? +I don't like them . I used to take them when I had to work overtime , you know . +How many did you use to take ? +Three every night . +Good heavens . Why did you take so many ? +Because I was under a terrible strain . The doctor saidthey weren't very strong . Anyway , I used to feel awful the next morning . +I'm sure you did . +The doctor said I had to be careful . +He was quite right . +So I stopped drinking coffee late at night instead . +What a beautiful view . +It sure is . The Grand Canyon is truly a masterpiece . No man could ever make anything like this . +What is that below ? +It is the Colorado River . You can go down the river in a boat if you wish . +No . Thank you . It looks a bit too dangerous for me . +There is a beautiful state park here . I can see why so many people come out here to camp . +Yes , there is beautiful view . You can go fishing , camping and also enjoy this beautiful clean air . +It definitely is a nice change from the polluted and crowded city . +That's true . +I would like you to meet my family . Can you come to dinner next week at my parents ' place ? +Yeuks ! Do they know anything about me ? +Actually , I've told them a lot about you . They are excited to meet you . +I'm a little nervous ! +I think you'll like them . My family is pretty laid back . +How Ay people will be there at dinner ? +Let's see . there's my mom and dad and my two brothers and one of my sisters . +That's good , I'm usually more comfortable in bigger families . +Are you studying any languages here ? +Yes , I'm studying in the Foreign Languages Department . +What are you majoring in ? +I'm majoring in English . +Is it difficult to learn ? +Yes.The language is hard to learn , but it's interesting . +Do you know anything about Britain and America ? +I'm reading a lot of books about the two countries . I like the culture . +Right.It ' s important to learn the culture of a nation if you want to learn the language well . +You're right . +Judy , your husband has a really nice car . +Thanks . It's a lot better than mine , and it's new . +Where are you going ? +We're going to visit my sister in the city . +I didn't know your sister lives in the city , when did she move there ? +About a year ago . She lives in an apartment on 3rd street , across from the public library . +I see . It's almost 5:00 PM now , don't you think there will be a lot of traffic ? +Oh , we're not driving . We're going to take the subway . The subway only takes about 20 minutes . +Yes , but it can be very crowded around this time . I always feel uncomfortable taking the subway . +I take the subway to work everyday , so I'm used to it now . +Doesn't your mother live in the city ? +Yes , she's lived there for about ten years . +I remember when she moved there . Apartments were a lot cheaper then . +I know what you mean . It's hard to find anything that's reasonable now . +Have a good time . Next time you're free , give me a call and we'll go play poker . +See you later . +The time has come to say goodbye . +So soon . It seems as if you just got here . +I feel that way , too . But all good things must come to an end , as they say . +It certainly has been a pleasure seeing you again and renewing old memories . +I've had a great time and thank you for your spending so much time showing me around . +It was fun for me , too . It gave me a chance to get away from my routine . +You'll be out to see me next year , as you promised ? +Oh , yes . I should be there some time next spring . +I'll be expecting you then . +I don't think the lecture is very interesting . +The lecturer is dull , too . +I feel he's like a talking machine . +I feel the same way . +And lightweight , too . It'll play for 20 hours on two AA batteries ! +Cool ! The sound is great . These earphones are awesome ! +And they're really safe . They'll protect your ear from sound damage . +You certainly need that . You always pump the volume up way too high . +I know . And you can also hear outside noises while you listen to music . +You're right ! So I can listen to music while riding my motorbike ! +You're spending a very long time on my hair . +I'm almost done . +I needed you to be done and finished an hour ago . +I'm all done now . +Are you sure you're finished ? +I don't understand . +You did a horrible job on my hair . +What's wrong with it ? +I don't like anything about it . +I apologize . +That's fine , but I'm not paying for it . +Excuse me ? Let's try to work this out , okay ? +Excuse me . Have you got the time ? +My watch says half past five . +Does your watch keep good time ? +Oh yeah . It loses only a few seconds in the whole month . +Thanks a lot . +Do you think discrimination against women in the work force is still prevalent even today ? +From my own experience as a career woman , I would have to say that while things are getting better now than they used to be , it is still a widespread problem . Society is changing , but there is still a glass ceiling for women in many career tracks . +do you think the glass ceiling phenomena is because of traditional social customs ? Or are there more issues coming into play ? +I think it's a very complicated issue . A part of the difficulties women have advancing in the work force are due to few opportunities and many male managers . Don't underestimate the good ole ' boy system . Men have power , so it's easier for them to stay in power . +What about affirmative action ? Hasn't legislation changed a lot of the make hierarchy ? +Affirmative action has given us management quotas and bans sexual discrimination , but it's still a man's world . +Emily , what kind of report is this ? +What do you mean , Mr . Smith ? You said to make it brief . +Don't get smart with me . Here , do it again , but do it right this time . +Would you like some more rice ? +No , thanks . I'm full . +He has to deliver letters every day . +Poor man , he must be terribly fed up with it . +Oh , no , he likes the job . +Oh , Really ? +Good morning golf aficionados ! My name is Rick Fields , and you guessed it , I am here with my main man , Bob Copeland . +Thank you , Rick ! As you can see , ladies and gentleman , we are here in beautiful Pebble Beach where the top golfers in the world are trying to win the grand prize of one million dollars ! +Whoa , that ’ s a lot of cash ! Let ’ s go to the course and see how Tiger Woods is doing . +All right , we are here at the eighth hole . It ’ s a par four , and has some very difficult hazards which many golfers find difficult to avoid . Although , I did see Jack Nicklaus hit a hole in one on this very same hole ! +Tiger Woods is about to tee off , and let ’ s see if he has the same luck as Jack . Tiger is asking his caddie for his driver and , he seems to be very nervous . +Oh no ! Not a good swing at all ! It ’ s definitely not his day today . On the seventh hole he got a bogey and before that he barely made par . He will definitely not get a birdie on this shot . +It seems that his ball has flown somewhere deep in the trees . He is having a hard time finding it and even his caddie has climbed a tree to try and spot it . +Oh no ! A bear ! Run , Tiger , run ! Somebody call animal control ! +I haven't seen Bill lately . How is he ? +He's still pretty sick . +That's too bad . What does he have ? +We don't know , but he's going to the doctor tomorrow . +Let me know if there's anything I can do . +Thanks a lot . I'll tell him . +Professor , I'm concerned about my grades . Do you have a minute ? +Of course , how can I help you ? +I want to know if I am doing OK . +Let's pull out your scores so far . Do you think you are doing OK ? +I am afraid that I might not be doing all that well . +I'm seeing that you are doing OK in some areas , but not so well in others . +I think I could take better notes and read a little more . +You can greatly improve your grades by always reflecting on what you can improve on . +I'm working on it ! +Just do your best and I am sure that you will see improvement . +Lisa , I am told you did very well in your exam . +I was the only one who got a strait A in my class . +Congratulations on your success . +Thank you . +Good morning , madam . I'd like to apply for a library card . Can you help me ? +Yes . Please give me your ID card , a photo . +OK . Here you are . +Then you have to give me 15 dollars for the deposit . The library card is free . +OK . Here is the money . And If I return the card , can I get the refund ? +Of course , as long as the card is well kept . +OK . I see . Thank you . +You are welcome . +Mr . Clinton , it's nice to see you again . +Nice to see you again , too . Peter . How's your family ? +Very well . How's Mrs . Clinton ? +Not bad . But she's as busy as before . +how did your interview go ? +pretty well . I don't know if I'll get the promotion or not , but I feel good about it . +if you get the promotion , what will your new title be ? +if I get the promotion , I will be a senior engineer instead of an assistant engineer . +will you get a pay-raise , too ? +whenever you are given added responsibilities , you should get a promotion . +that makes sense . Who interviewed you ? +my boss . +what kinds of questions did she ask you ? +she asked me about my ability to work in a team and what I thought a good boss should be . +the second one sounds rather difficult to answer . What did you tell her ? +I told her that I'm an excellent team player and that a good boss should treat male and female employees equally . +those are good answers . How did she react ? +she told me that even when I become a senior engineer , I'll have to work with the assistant engineers as a team . +what do you think about her as a boss ? +she's pretty easy to get along with . She listens to her employees and treats everyone equally . +you're lucky . Not everyone has such a great boss ! +that's true . She's highly esteemed among everyone at my company . +when you find out you get the promotion or not , let me know . +I will do . +Has the game started yet ? +Yeah , about 5 minutes ago . +Who's winning ? +The Bulls , of course ! +What ! That wasn't a foul ! C ’ mon , ref ! +Don ’ t worry , Shan always screws up free throws . +You were right ! He didn ’ t make the shot ! +That was a great shot ! A three pointer , yeah ! +Did you see that ? He traveled and the ref didn ’ t call it ! +This ref needs glasses . Hey ref , open your eyes ! I can ’ t believe he didn ’ t see that ! +Okay ... end of the first quarter ... Alright , I ’ m gonna make a beer run . +Are you ready to go shopping ? +Not yet . I'm not finished with my research yet . +What research ? +Reading my fashion magazines ! How do you think I know so much about all the latest trends ? +But they're just ads ... +Duh ... That's the point . The people in the ads are wearing what's in . Plus , there are articles on new trends ... +I hear that Tom got divorced , and I don ’ t know how he is now . +Out of sight , out of mind . +Who do you mean ? +Don ’ t you know they have had little affection for each other ? +What's the name of the singer who sings this song ? +I can't remember . +It's on the tip of my tongue . I think it starts with a ' B ' . +Hi , Bill . Are you going to the commencement ? +Yes . Do you want to go with me ? +OK . ( Several minutes later . ) Let's go into the school auditorium . +Now that take this seat . Do you see those piles of red diplomas on the desks on the stage ? +Yes . I find my heart is now rising and falling like waves , all sorts of feelings welling up in my heart . +That's true . Four years ' trails and hardships , joys and sorrows of life are gushing out to my mind all together . I can hardly tell whether I am joyful or gloomy at the moment when I am about to leave the campus and to start a new stage of my life . +How time flies . Look , the president of the college has come onto the stage . +He's going to make the opening speech . +Hi , I'm Benjamin . Nice to meet you here . You look great . +Thank you . Nice to meet you too . I'm John . Is this your first time to take a long-distance trip on plane . +No , this is the second time . But I also feel bad because of the lower pressure and the jet lag . +Oh , I am sorry to hear that . Take it easy . It will be OK soon . You see , I take this long-hour plane frequently , but the jet lag still makes me uneasy . +Oh , that's too bad . Do you get a good knowledge of China ? +Yes , whenever I think about China , I'd see the Tian'an Men Square . China is a very beautiful country . And I've seen many landmarks in China but I like the Great Wall most . +All of the Chinese are proud of the Great Wall . And it was built before the In dynasty near Shan Haiguan-the First Pass in the World . +Was it built before the In dynasty ? I thought it was in the Ming dynasty . +No , before the In dynasty . +Oh , yeah . Thought I am an American , I know quite a lot about China and I like Chinese tea very well . +Both the green tea and the black tea are good for our health . And I usually refresh myself with a cup of tea . +Oh . Have you finished listing your study preferences ? +Yes , I have . +Good . So , which is your top choice ? +Medicine . In my country , that certainly has great prestige . +I see . Which subject did you put last then ? +Oh.history . +That's interesting . Could you give any reasons for your choice ? Can you explainwhy do you put medicine first ? +Well , doctors are such an important job . I mean your health is the most imponent thing you've got , isn't it ? I want to be important and help people . +Yes . I suppose so . +Hello , Mr . Black , I'm calling to say goodbye . +You're leaving so soon ? I wish you stayed a little longer . +I wish I could stay a little longer , but a lot of things to do back home . +Have you got the ticket ? +Yes , I did . +What time are you going ? +At 11:00 o'clock . +I'll pick you up by nine o'clock and take you straight to the airport . +No , I'll go by myself , thanks . +OK , goodbye . +Mark is parade his knowledge again . +Yeah ! He ’ s very good at showing off his knowledge . +A well-learned person never does that . +They are professors and government officials . +Where are they from ? +Most of them are from America and Europe . +What are they doing in Beijing ? +They are attending an international conference here . +Which hotel are they staying at ? +They are staying at the Hilton Hotel . +Do you need a ticket ? +Surely , I do . It's hard to come by , isn't it ? +Yes , it is . +Can you get it ? +You can be assured of it . +Where to , miss ? +Hi ! Crenshaw and Hawthorne , at the Holiday Inn that is on that corner . +Sure thing . So , where are you flying in from ? +From China . +Really ? You don ’ t look very Chinese to me , if you don ’ t mind me saying so . +It ’ s fine . I am actually from Mexico . I was in China on a business trip , visiting some local companies that manufacture bathroom products . +Wow sounds interesting ! Excuse me if I am being a bit nosy but , how old are you ? +Don ’ t you know it ’ s rude to ask a lady her age ? +Don ’ t get me wrong ! It ’ s just that you seem so young and already doing business overseas ! +Well thank you ! In that case , I am 26 years old , and what about yourself ? +I am 40 years old and was born and raised here in the good old U . S of A , although I have some Colombian heritage . +Really ? That ’ s great ! Do you speak some Spanish ? +Uh ... yeah .. of course ! +Did you see that ? +No , I missed it . +How could you miss that ? +Someone was in the way . +Hello , Is this EYE computers ? +Yeas , It is.Sewen Jes speaking.How can I help ? +Actually , I'm calling to complain about your service . The computer I bought last week is faulty . +Oh , I'm sorry to hear that , sir.What exactly is problem ? +Well , easily , It doesn't work . It doesn't even start probably . +Oh , dear ! I'll do well I can . +Look what you've done ! +I'm very sorry , sir . I'll bring you a cloth immediately . +Yes , and hurry up ! +I'd like to apologize for my carelessness . May I clean it up for you ? +No , I'll do it myself . +Here is my card , sir . Could you send me the cleaning bill and I will refund the cost to you ? +I should think so , too ! +I'm very sorry to have caused you this trouble . +Yes , and please be more careful in the future ! +I will , sir . I'm really very sorry . +That's OK . +Did you tell others that we are getting married soon ? You have such a big mouth ! +I am so sorry about that . It was just a slip of the tongue . +I really don't know how to break this to you , but it ’ s eating me alive ! +Just tell the truth . I won ’ t take it personally . +Well ... hum . You are sure you won ’ t lose control of yourself ? +Sometimes it's wise to be direct with people . Come on , just tell me . Don't beat around the bush , please ! +Well . Since you ’ d like an honest answer , I will tell you the truth . +Alright . What is that you want to tell me ? +We ’ Ve won two free tickets to Hawaii for a seven-day vacation ! +What ? Are you serious ? Oh , my gosh ! There will be guys everywhere . +I'm the coolest high-tech stud around ... +Why ? Do you have a robot girlfriend ? +Not yet ... I got an MP3 player and a set of stereo headphones . +So you can download MP3 music from the Net and record it onto the MP3 chip ? +Yep ! And take it with me anywhere ! And the music is free ! +Let me see it ! It's so small ! +Don't you ever cheat on me . +Why would I do that ? +Because men like to cheat . +Some men do , but not me . +I'm watching you . +I'm an open book . Watch me all you want . +If I catch you , you'll be sorry . +You won't catch me , because I love you . I'm not a cheater . +I will poke your eyes out . +I don't want any other woman . +I will chop your toes off , one by one . +Honey , please . You're the only woman for me , forever . I swear it . +Hi , Lilly , it ’ s so nice to see you again . +Hum , me too . This winter holiday was especially long . What have you done ? +Nothing special . I had a get-together with some schoolmates at the high school , visited the Internet and read a couple of books which I had been longing for . How about yours ? +You know , I like traveling . I made good use of this long vacation and enjoyed myself . +Well now that I know what kind of movies you like , tell me , what's your least favorite kind of movie ? +I don't really like sci-fi movies because they're always really weird . +I know ! I don't get them at all . But wait , isn't ' Terminator ' a sci-fi movie ? +Hmm ... you're right . Well , I guess ' Terminator ' is an exception to the rule . +There are advertisements everywhere here in hong kong . The city is so bright at night , with all the neon signs . +I like it . It makes the city feel alive . I like all the different colors and I like the billboards with eye-catching pictures and slogans . +I think that there are too many of them . I think that companies spend far too much money on advertising . They should have lower prices instead . Then they would see more . +I see your point , but if companies didn ’ t spend money on advertising , no one would hear about their products . I agree that some form of advertising can be annoying . I don ’ t like it when people try to give you leaflets with information about products you have no intention of buying . +I really hate receiving spam . I also dislike having to listen to advertisements and jingles when they are broadcast in stores or on the subway . +Yes , that annoys me too . With billboards , you can look away , but with broadcasts , you can ’ t avoid them . I like the way that advertising agencies use comedy in their campaign . +I like that too . I don ’ t like the way that advertising campaign often tell you if you don ’ t buy a certain product , you ’ re not cool or modern or efficient or something . +That kind of advertising seems to be very common with brand name products . They are always trying to maintain brand loyalty . +do you have any plans for Friday night ? +I don't think so . Why ? +well , my hosue-mates and I are having a house-warming party . Would you like to come ? +sure . Would it be alright if I brought a few friends ? +the more , the merrier ! +will there be a lot of people there ? +I sure hope so . We've each invited about 10 people . +who else is going to be there ? +I'm inviting my friends from work , you , my sister , and a few friends from school . +I know your sister . She's very nice . +don't worry.You won't be sitting there by yourself . +what time is it going to start ? +most people are working Friday night , so it's going to start around 9 pm . +should I bring anything ? +we'll have beer and snacks , but if you want to bring a bottle of wine , that'd be great . +I could also bring some music if you want . I've got loads of songs on my new iPod . +that'd be great . I'll see you then ! +So , Jack , do you believe in ghosts ? +No , not really . Why do you ask ? +Because I want to tell you about the time that I saw a ghost . +You saw a ghost ? When ? +It was many years ago , when I was a little child . It was the middle of the night , and I went to get a drink of water from the kitchen . I walked out of my room and was at the top of the stairs , when ... +So that's where you saw the ghost ? In your house ? What did it look like ? Was it hideous ? +It was a big , green thing that looked like a person . It was in the kitchen , and it slowly moved towards the stairs ... +So what did you do ? +I hid so that it couldn't see me . Slowly it got closer and closer , until ... +Until what ? What happened ? Did you see it clearly ? Did it attack you ? +It moved slowly up the stairs , step by step , and I could hear its approaching footsteps . When it finally got to the top of the stairs , I realized that it was my father in his green pajamas . He had gone to get a late night snack . +What did the doctor say ? +He said that I have been eating too much . +Did he give you any advice ? +Yes , he asked me to clean up my diet by cutting red meat . +Yes , you must put yourself on a diet . +I don't know about you , but I am famished . Are you interested in getting a bite to eat ? +That sounds great . I'm absolutely starving ! What kind of food are you in the mood for ? +I'd love something spicy . Maybe we could get some Sichuan hotpot . +You are a woman after my own heart . I don't know many people who can handle spicy food . Are you sure you are up for hot pot ? +Sure . If I could , I would eat hot pot every day ! +Ok , you are really all eyes when it comes to talking about food , aren't you ? +Well , let's stop dragging our feet and find a Sichuan hot pot restaurant for dinner ! +Let me think about it for a minute . Let's see ... oh the name of the restaurant is on the tip of my tongue ! Give me a second and it'll come to me . +Well ... ? Have you thought of it yet ? +No ... +Never mind . There's an authentic tasting hot pot restaurant not far from the China World Trade Towers on Chang An Street . Have you been there ? +That's it ! That ’ s the one I was thinking of ! I told you I'd remember it ! +You really have a big head , don't you . +Excuse me . Where is Q-Duck ? I remember it was around the second intersection of this street . +Q-Duck ? Do you mean the famous roast-duck store ? +Yes , definitely . +They have moved to some other places long time ago . +Wow , this place is quite different from ten years ago when I first came to China . +Yeah , a lot of changes have happened here . +This street used to have few stores . But now , you can see supermarkets , shopping malls and department stores everywhere . +Yeah , they are my wife's heaven , but not mine . I always get lost in the supermarket . +Me too ! I was lost three times ten years ago . There were no English directions then . +Is that better now ? +Yeah , there are many English signs , and wrong spellings as many as them . +You ’ re new here , right ? +Yes , I am new . +Is this your first semester ? +I just transferred from another school . +What school did you transfer from ? +I came here from PCC . +Do you like it here so far ? +I am really enjoying it here so far . +Which is better , here or PCC ? +I think PCC is a lot better than here . +Why didn ’ t you just stay at PCC ? +I graduated and now want to get a BA . +My hair stood on end when I saw the bloody scene . +What scene ? +A kitten being run over by a truck . +Adam , I'm sorry ! +But where have you been , Alice ? You're over an hour late . +Yes , but I couldn't help it . I was late getting off work for a start , and then I missed the bus . The bus I did catch got caught in a traffic jam . It was one thing after another . +But why were you getting off work so late ? The office close at six , doesn't it ? +Yes , but there's a rush on at the moment , and my boss asked me to do some urgent letters . +But didn't you tell him you had an appointment ? +Well , no . I thought I'd finish in about five minutes , and I didn't want to be difficult about just a few minutes . If it hadn't been for missing the bus and the traffic , I wouldn't have been so late . I'm sorry . +Well , you're here . And that's the main thing . +Remember that writing contest I entered ? Well , I won first prize . +Great ! This calls for a celebration . +Can you imagine having a million dollars ? +Yes , and I know a few things I'd spend the money on . +Yeah , me too . +A new car for a start . +David , what do you want to do after graduation ? +I suppose I should choose one from the ' Best Career List ' , to be a public officer , what do you think ? +That sounds like a hot job , right ? But in my opinion , you ought not to choose one career from that so-called list , and you need to take your interests , values , and skills into account . +It beats me ! I never thought about it before and maybe I thought finding a career is a simple thing . +You'd better ask for suggestions from a career counselor , and then make a decision . +The mosquitos are biting me ! +Me , too , I can ’ t stop scratching . They are everywhere ! Sneaky little jerks . +Do you have any bug spray ? +No , I forgot to buy some . +Then we ’ ll have to put up with it . +We can cover ourselves with beer ! That way if they bite us , they ’ ll get drunk and fall asleep . +That ’ s without a doubt , the best idea you ’ Ve had ! Let ’ s do it ! +Run ! They are thirsty for more ! +How come you're still up ? Shouldn't you be asleep by now ? +I've been having a hard time sleeping lately . +As far as I know , insomnia is usually caused by stress . Are you stressed at all ? +Well , I'm really worried about my grades . I didn't think this course would be so stressful . +You're a good student . I'm sure you can do well . What you need to do is to relax . +You're probably right . I just wish it were that simple . How can I stop feeling so anxious all the time ? +Taking a yoga class or learning some relaxation techniques can help you cope with your stress . +I don't really have time to learn anything new . I need to spend my time studying ! +You need to take some breaks throughout the day . Studying all day isn ’ t very usually effective . +You ’ re right . I usually end up staring at my computer or checking my email instead of doing my work for class . +Besides , it ’ s not difficult to learn yoga . In fact , I can teach you a move that ’ s supposed to help you fall asleep ! You just have to sit down like this , bend over and breath in deeply . +That ’ s fantastic . I ’ m going to go try that out in my room now . good night ! +Good night , sleep tight ; don ’ t let the bed bugs bite ! +Hey , Teresa , meet the new neighbors yet ? +Actually , i popped in them last night . +OK , let's cut to the chase . what are they like ? +Well , they're really beautiful people . +I'll say , she is really stacked , isn't she ? +Yeah , she is a neck-off for sure . +And he looks like a typical jog . +He is a professional football player . +Ah-ha , I thought so . +Anyway , that is not what I meant by beautiful . +What did you mean ? +I meant that they're very simple , easy to talk to . +That's right . +Yeah . I think things are worked out just fine . +Did you get your grades yet ? +Yeah . My whole GPA is screwed up now . +Why ? What happened ? +Well , I bombed my econ final and ended up with a 1.7 . +Ouch . You must be very disappointed . +Well , it's my fault because I didn't study as much as I should have . +Why don't you re-take the class next year ? +That's what I plan on doing unless I keep screwing up . How did you do this semester ? +I didn't do that well either . I ended up with a 3.2 this semester . That drops my total GPA to 3.45 . +My GPA is pretty similar to yours . I have a 3.1 now because of the stupid econ class . +What was your GPA before this semester ? +I was sitting happy with a 3.4 . +Why did it go down so much ? +Let's just say I screwed up more than my econ class . +What happened to you ? +I started playing starcraft and ended up wasting a lot of time . +You better stop slacking off . +You're right . I'm not going to play games during school anymore . +So Emily , do you still want to see a movie together this weekend ? +Well , what do you want to see ? I don't think there are many good movies out right now . +Mmmm ... I know ! We can go to a really bad sci-fi movie and sit in the back of the theater and make fun of it . What do you think ? +Now that's a great plan . It's a date ! +Do you think that climate change is responsible for the recent floods ? +It could be . There are floods in this country almost every year , but in recent years they have been more widespread and more frequent . +It seems that the climate in this country is changing . +The summers are hotter . The last three summers have been the hottest for the past 200 years . There have also been stronger winds . +I think that the changing climate is a sign that we are causing too much damage to the environment . +I think you ’ re right . Climate change naturally over time , but I think that human activities are speeding up the change . I wish that government would join together and try to resolve the problem . +Me too . If we don ’ t do something soon , It might be too late . +Are you almost finished with my hair ? +I'm almost finished . +How much longer is it going to be ? +I'm done now . Do you like it ? +I absolutely love it . +You really like it ? +Yes , I truly do . +I'm glad you like it . +How much do I owe you ? +It's going to be $ 55 . +Here you go , thanks for everything . +Make sure and come back in a couple of weeks . +Oh , hi , Lily . When did you get back from Canada ? +Just last week . +How was it ? +Oh , I loved it . I only visited a couple of cities , you know . But I had a great time . +Well , tell me . What are they like ? +They ’ re nice . +And lots of Dear Abby sob stories ... +Hey ! I learn a lot from the psychologists who give advice in those columns ! +No wonder you're such a wacko ... +Whatever ... Smell ! Perfume samples ! +Nice . Hey , I like the layout of this page ... +You mean , you like the pictures of the beautiful models ... Hello ? +I'd be a basket case if you think of me that way . I need your understanding . +I know , I know . But you always bat around without doing things useful . +Can ’ t you be more considerate ? I need your encouragement . +All right . Do what you can do now instead of twiddling your thumbs . +Driving during the rush hours can be a bit of a bind . +Yeah . I think so.You have to be patient and careful . +So I'd rather walk or run to work . +You must be joking ! +What do you think of smoking ? +It ’ s harmful not only for yourself but for others . +What in your opinion can be done to stop smoking ? +Stop producing cigarettes . +But that ’ ll affect the national economy . +That ’ s right . But I don ’ t think there are better ways . +How about painting a warning on each cigarette packet ? +Maybe it can take effect . +Hey Rachael , what's up ? How is your day ? +Not bad.We have had a big meeting today , remember ? +Oh , yea . I forgot.So how did it go ? +Pretty well . I think the boss liked my ideas . +Great , so what happens now ? +Well , I have to write the proposal . I'm pretty excited about it . +Hello , Bobby , It seems that I can't arrive at your home by 12 o'clock . +What happened ? We're all expecting you , Hans , Dick , Archie ... +I'm so sorry , I've been held up by the damn traffic jam for half an hour . I'd have arrived but for that . +I see . Where are you now , Li ? +Thirty meters ahead is the Waterloo Bridge . +It's not far away from home , It's - let me see – about 20 minutes'walk , Can you walk here ? +I've thought of that , but what can I do with my car ? If only I had taken a taxi ! +That's too bad , But don't worry.We ' ll put off dinner till one o'clock . +I'm so terribly sorry to keep you waiting . +It doesn't matter.Bye . +Bye . +This is our first day of class.It ' s better for us to introduce ourselves to each other . Who would like to begin first ? Any volunteers ? +I'd like to introduce myself first . +Yes , please . +My name is Gavin White . I was born and raised in London . After high school , I went to Edinburgh University . I worked for one year to pay for my tuition and then got my Bachelor ’ s degree there . Now I've come here to get my Master ’ s degree . I am glad to meet all of you and I hope we will become good friends . +Sheila , what time should we meet tomorrow ? +The usual time . Half past two in the afternoon . +What place ? +The usual place . In front of the treasure house . +And what should I wear ? +Your usual shirt and shoes . +What are you going to wear ? +Nothing unusual , I ’ m afraid . +Sheila , how about that fashionable blue dress ? +Good . That ’ s something unusual . +What did you think of the movie ? +I didn't like it . Not a bit . I couldn't stand the music . Besides the story was so boring that it put me to sleep . +I noticed that , it was not exciting as I expected , but the music was great . I'm always found Jazz . And that movie had a lot of Jazz . +I know . However , Jazz always annoys me . I really don't enjoy music in a movie . +I'm sorry to hear that.What kind of movie do you like ? +Anything with a lot of action , I like thrillers and chillers . +Oh , I see . +Well , I enjoy the popcorn and being with you.You ' re more important than the movie . +Thanks for the sweet words . +Any time . +Hi Amanda , how are you ? I've missed working with you and the whole gang since my transfer last week . +We've missed you too . The office just isn't the same without you . How is your new job ? +It's great . I really get to focus on what I like to do and everyone has been very nice and welcoming . However , I'm having a small problem with my new colleagues . +What happened ? +Well , three people are celebrating their birthdays this month and the policy here is for everyone to contribute ten dollars to a card and cake for each person . +Wow , so you'll be out thirty dollars on your first week at work ! +I know . It is a lot of money and I haven't gotten to know any of the people celebrating their birthdays well enough yet . At our old department , it was only three dollars for each birthday and there were only ten of us . +Well , every department is different . You wouldn't want your new co-workers to think you're a Grinch , right ? +What is that ? +A Grinch is a person who spoils the mood at a happy occasion by being selfish or unenthusiastic . You know - a party proper . +I definitely don't want to be that ! But , I still think it's unreasonable for them to ask me for such a big sum of money when we don't know each other very well . What should I do ? +Then I must go-you have said it yourself . +No , you must stay ! I swear it , and the oath shall be kept . +I tell you I must go ! +Where ? +I have spoken my mind , and can go anywhere now . +I ask you to pass through life at my side-to be my second self and best earthly companion . +I'll never again come to your side ; I am turn away now and can't return . +Merry Christmas ! Mary ! +Merry Christmas ! Mr Bean . +Will you come to join us at dinner this evening ? My family will be happy to see you . And father misses you very much . +Well , I would be glad to , but I have promised Tom to see his Christmas tree , and play the piano for his song tonight . +Hello , Kate ! How are you doing ? +Fine , thanks . How are you ? +Fine . How are your term papers ? +Oh my lord . I haven't really started them . +How could it be ? They are due two weeks later . +I know but I was busy with my part-time job the last few days . +Kate , you know , I am thinking of getting a part-time job next year because I really need more money and I don't want to ask my parents for any more . But I'm so busy ! How am I going to work and study ? How do you do it ? Do you have some good tips on budgeting time ? +To be honest with you , Jason , I don't think I'm doing a very good job of balancing my schoolwork with my job . I'm always two steps behind . I've got to get back to the dorm and continue writing that paper . Say ! Why don ’ t you talk to your advisor ? And let me know ! +My advisor ? +Jack , I hear you got promoted.Is that true ? +Yes . I think I'm lucky . +Oh , Jack , you deserve it.You ' Ve been working so hard . +Thank you for saying that . +Why did she do that ? +I have no idea . It was completely out of the blue . +Hurry up ! Time is money ! +Don't build a fire under me . I know the importance of time . +But you are too slow to follow them . +Don't you see I'm trying my best ? +Why is little Billy crying ? +He got a scolding . +I'm going to work in a multi-national enterprise after graduation . +but you said your dream was to be an entrepreneur , to be your own boss . +I'll do it someday . But it's not the right time now . I have to learn a lot by working as an employee . +it sounds like you've got a perfect plan . +you could say so . I'll work hard in that company and try to understand as much as possible about how to run an enterprise . +it can save you lots of time and effort to simply copy a successful business model . +yeah , the success stories of that company might be useful for me . And their customers may become the potential ones for my own company . +that's right . You should establish good relationships with them . what else are you planning to do while working for that company ? +well , I'll come up with a detailed business plan to attract the investors . +sounds perfect . I think with all that you have in mind , you'll become a successful businessman . By then , perhaps , I'll join in as a partner of your company . +Rob lost his bike . +What an idiot ! +I heard Betty lost her tennis match this morning , so she's out of the tournament . +Really ? What a shame ! I thought she was going to win this one . +Me , too . I'm sure she'll do better in the next tournament . +Can you believe the headlines ? +What are you reading ? +I ’ m reading about Michael Milliken , the Bond King . +Didn ’ t he sell worthless stocks to people or something ? He got arrested for that , didn ’ t he ? +He got arrested all right . +If I remember , he got off with a light sentence . Something like three years in a minimum-security prison . +Yup , that ’ s him . He made millions of dollars selling bonds to people and ended up with a pile of cash when they became useless . +I think the government fined him a small amount , and he kept the rest in his foreign bank accounts . He ’ s still a millionaire . +That ’ s the kind of thing in America that gets me mad . Some guy pulls off a stock scheme and makes millions while spending the bare minimum sentence in jail . +I know . And some poor guy that robs a liquor store makes $ 500 at most and ends up in jail for five to ten years . +do you believe in UFO's ? +sure . A UFO is just a space vehicle from another planet . If you think about it , our space shuttles are UFOs . +I've never thought about it like that before . +I've seen photos of UFOs in America before , but they've all looked doctored up . +do you think that there's life on other planets ? +I think there must be . +why is that ? +I don't't think it would make sense if we were the only beings in this whole world . The world is just far too big for that . +do you think that there's intelligent life trying to contact us ? +no , but we're trying to contact them . +I suppose you're right . +I think that countries are working hard to find a planet that we can live on in the future so that when global warming destroys this planet , humankind will not become extinct . +do you really think that global warming Wil destroy Earth some day ? +there's a lot of evidence that suggest it will , but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon . +It's said you will go abroad to pursue your graduate studies . +Yes , I've been thinking about visiting you . I hope to get some advice from you . +Which country do you want to go to ? +My field is electronic engineering . Which country do you think I should go ? +Were I in your position , I'd go to America . +Which university should I apply to ? +There are many universities for you to choose from . Some famous universities such as Harvard , Yale , the University of Michigan , and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are really wonderful places to study , but they are very competitive and expensive . Some smaller universities or institutes are also very nice but much cheaper . +Oh , I see . Thank you very much . +It rumored that Jean is fooling around with another woman's husband . +You gossip ! What's the basis of your opinion ? +Someone declared that he saw it . +I don't believe it . Jean is such a kind lady . How could she do this ? +Who knows ? You can't judge a book by its cover . +Maybe ! +Do you have cold medicine ? +Yes , but do you have a prescription with you ? +No , I don't . +I'm afraid you can't buy any medicine without a prescription from a doctor . +I have a headache . Is there anything I can buy without a prescription ? +Then you can buy Aspirin . +I will take the Aspirin then . And have you a small first-aid kit ? +Yes , here this is . +I'll take it too . +Thank you and take care . +It's rather cold , isn't it ? +Oh , yes , it is . +Shall I light the stove ? +That's a good idea . +Well , what's the climate like in your country ? +It's mild , but it's not always pleasant . +Which season do you like best ? +I like spring . The days are long and the night are short . The flowers are in bloom.We go on picnics . +Where do you work , Andrea ? +I work for Thomas Cook Travel . +Oh , really ? What do you do there ? +I'm a guide . I take people on tours to countries in South America , like Peru . +That sounds interesting ! +Yes , it's a great job . I love it . And what do you do ? +I'm a student , and I have a part-time job , too . +Oh ? Where do you work ? +In a fast-food restaurant . +Which restaurant ? +Hamburger Heaven . +Yeah . Just pull on this strip . Then peel off the back . +You might make a few enemies this way . +If they don't think this is fun , they're not meant to be our friends . +You mean your friends . I think it's cruel . +Yeah . But it's fun . Look at those two ugly old ladies ... or are they men ? +Hurry ! Get a shot ! ... Hand it over ! +I knew you'd come around ... +When ’ re you getting married ? +We planned our wedding for next May . +Why so late ? Didn ’ t she want to get married this October ? +Yeah , I did . But my fiancee has an important project . +That ’ s really a shame . By the way , who will be the bridesmaid ? +Julie ’ s friend , Mary . And John will be the best man . +Wow ! I ’ m very excited about your ceremony . +Hey ! Fred , you are five minutes earlier than me today . Usually , you don't . +Hurry ! It is time for me to steal something . +What's your meaning ? +I am stealing vegetables at the Happy Farm . +You are a thief ? +No , no . I mean stealing vegetables on Internet is very popular now . Many white collars join in this game and have a lot of fun by stealing others ' vegetables . +You mean it is a still virtual game . Your friends steal your vegetables time and time again , and you take theirs as well , right ? +You got what I meant . Perhaps , what I steal are not vegetables , but loneliness . +Don't be addicted to the game . It's not good for your job . +Bill , your work is too messy . +I'll pay attention to my handwriting next time . +Is this a promise ? +Yes , I'm serious this time . +Our maths teacher is rather humorous . +On the contrary , I think he's very serious . +No , not at all.His examples are really interesting . +So they're easy to remember . +Yeah , how about your maths teacher ? +He's an old antique , very serious . +Bad luck , Anne . +Hey ! How about your history teacher ? +She's another antique . +I'm sorry to hear that . +Your family must be busy shopping for Christmas , now . +Oh yeah and decorating the house too was colored paper and pictures . they will put a Christmas tree just inside the front door , pained toys and colored electric lights along the branches and plays all the gift packages under it . +Woo , your home will beautiful on Christmas . +Sure our thing . +I do wish your christmas and happy new year . +Thanks . +Jenny , do you want to go to see a movie ? +What's on tonight ? +I want to see ' Click . ' +Who is in this movie ? +I don't know . My friend told me it was a touching movie . +How long have you been in Taiwan ? +About 3 years , so I came here 2000 . +So , where did you grow up ? +Providence , Rhode Island . do you know it ? +I am not sure , where exactly is it ? +Well , not so far from New York . So what about you ? Did you grow up here ? +No , I was born in Gaoxiong , I only moved to Taipei after I graduated . +I am in hot water now , all the things seem to be blown up . +Don't be scared . Bite the bullet and everything will be right again . +Thanks for encouraging me . There are problems cropping up here and there . But I will overcome them one by one . +What's your schedule like this year ? +Pretty busy . I have to pick up a lot of credits this year . +What's your major ? +I ’ m majoring in French literature . +Oh , don't you have to take that class on 18th century poetry ? It's really difficult . I hear the students in that class have to write a paper a hundred pages long . +That's right . We got the assignment last week . +When is it due ? +Next Monday . +Remind me never to sign up for that course . +Did you check the internet for next week's weather forecast ? +I sure did . You're in luck ! It's supposed to snow all week in the mountains ! +Yes ! Somebody up there loves me ! I knew it wasn't too late for snow . +It is kind of strange though , to have snow in April , and so much of it . +There have been so many dry winters lately that it's about time , don't you think ? +When you put it that way , I guess the skies can't hold out on us forever . +This will be the best ski trip I've ever taken . I can't wait to use my new hoard . +It will be the best as long as the weatherman is right . +Are you going to the beach this saturday afternoon ? +It depends on the weather . +The radio says it'll be fine . +That'll be great . +Are you studying here ? +Yes , I am studying in Eastern Asian language department . +What are you major in ? +I major in Japanese . +What do you think of the literature course . +Its very helpful . The course has let me into a world of literature . I read so many great literatures . +Did you say you saw lily alone ? +Yes , nobody was with her . +Where did you say she was ? +In Thailand . +I must say I think that is very odd . Are you absolutely certain it was her ? +Yes . yes , I am sure . +Because I don't want any , er , do you understand ? But you are quite sure , are you ? +Quite sure . I mean that hair of hers and the voice of hers . +When I quarrel with my husband . He didn't even try to cool me out . +It takes two to make a quarrel and it takes two to mend fences . +I was so angry that I could not keep cool . What I need is just an apology . +Is that you , Dave ? Oh , my gosh ! The backstabber who left us to work for the evil WebTracker ! +Yeah , yeah , yeah . Hi , Mary . How are you ? +I'm filthy rich ! Haven't you heard about the MicroPower deal ? +Yeah , I guess I did . They're going to buy invoking ? +That's right . For seventy-five million . So how are you ? +I'm getting by OK . I heard MicroPower was going to make Zina president of their new invoking Internet division . +The summer vacation is coming . Have you any plans ? +I haven't made up my mind . Maybe I will go to the US . What about you ? +I am going on a hiking trip . It's good exercise as well as fun . +I think so . +So why not come and join us ? Lee will come as well . +That's great . I will go hiking with you . +It seems that something is praying heavy on you.What ’ s the matter ? +I got my father ’ s goat last night . +What did you do to get his goat ? +When I asked him to treat me like he does to my sisters , he jumped down my throat . So I took it out on him by telling him what I thought . +We need to elect club officials before the summer starts . +I guess we should start with nominees first . +Let's make it the first item of business in our next meeting . +We should probably let everyone know ahead of time so they will be prepared . +Can you take care of sending out a bulletin by e-mail to all the club members ? +Yes , I can do that this afternoon . +Let's schedule the actual election times the week after the nominations . Doesn't that seem logical ? +Yes , let me put it on the calendar . +How's business ? +Couldn't be better . +are you looking for a course ? +yes , but I'm not sure which one to sign up for . +what kind of program are you looking for ? Full-time or part-time ? +I have to work during the day , so I want to find a part-time course that I can do in the evenings . +what kind of course are you looking for ? +I need to improve my English . +do you want a one-to-one private tutor or a group class ? +I think a one-to-one course will be too expensive for me , so a group class would be fine . +have you ever considered taking one of our online courses ? +I think I prefer face-to-face instruction better . +that's fine . If you want , you can sign up for a pre-sessional interview . +what's that for ? +one of our qualified teachers will interview you so that they can find a class that suits you best . +do you have a brochure about the course that I can take home to read ? +sure . Here's a brochure about out English classes that meet in the evenings . +thanks . I'll read through it tonight and get back to you tomorrow to sign up for a course . +Hi , Mr . Zhang . What ’ s wrong ? You don ’ t look so happy . How was your date ? +I was turned down again . It ’ s frustrating . I guess you ’ Ve got to teach me some skills . +Me ? I ’ m even less experienced than you are . +At least you know what American women generally like in a man . +Believe it or not , I guess American women like a man in good shape , which Chinese women may not care about so much . That ’ s my honest opinion . I know you have been trying very hard . +American men are naturally taller than Chinese men . So even if I exercise , there aren ’ t many chances . +No , that ’ s not true . I ’ Ve met two American women who were married to Chinese . But those Chinese look very strong and healthy . So if you exercise more often , I bet it will surely be easier for you to date American girls . How old is Jacky Chan ? He ’ s small and short . But I bet he can have any American woman he wants . +You know , that ’ s going to be a tremendous change for me . Because I never exercise . +Why don ’ t you try then ? Even if it doesn ’ t help you find an American girl , you could still have a stronger and healthier body . You won ’ t lose anything by doing that . +Who is it ? +Open the door . It's me . I can't find the key . +You're always so careless . +Oh , thank you . I am exhausted . Will you bring me a cup of tea ? +Okay , but I haven't prepare supper . +So let's eat out . +What do you want to eat ? +Noodles . How about you ? +Dumplings . +Recently , there prevails ' Net Love ' ! +What's Net Love ? +Two people chat on the Net and step by step fall into love ! It's Net Love . +Ridiculous ! They haven't met ! Maybe they're the same sex ! +Maybe yesterday you've received a man's woos . He's called ' Beast ' ? +How could you know ? +I watched the screen display ! +Do you know ' He ' is Ms . Rebecca ! +It's typical Net Love , and a typical lesbians ' homosex ! HA ! +Impossible ! +What shall we do tonight ? +How about the cinema ? +That's a good idea.We haven't been there for ages . +What would you suggest to see ? +Oh , I don't know.It depends . +I want to have Mexican food for dinner . +I'm tired of Mexican food . Besides , you picked the restaurant last week . +OK , you win . You pick the restaurant this time . +Tom's dating your sister . +Are you sure ? +It's almost 6:00 . I'd better be going . +Can you stay for dinner ? We'd love to have you join us . +It's really nice of you . Thanks ! +I'm calling about our appointment . I can't call on you this evening.My wife is terribly ill . +Sorry to hear that . +How about next week ? +Fine , we'll be expecting you then . +You honestly believe the world ’ s improving every year ? +Yes , I do . I think that science is making us wiser . What do you think ? +I don ’ t think you ’ re right there . +I believe industry is making us wealthier . +I don ’ t believe that . +And in my opinion , medicine is making us healthier . +I agree with you in the sense . But we ’ re all more miserable than ever , aren ’ t we ? +I don ’ t agree with you . I maintain that we ’ re healthier , wealthier and wiser than we were a hundred years ago . +That ’ s your opinion not mine . +How was your date recently ? +Not too bad . It is seemingly too hard for me to find a place for our date . +I guess so . Going to watch a movie and having dinner at a restaurant are usual . +She said she wanted to go Dutch in dating . +Yes , now many girls want to be independent , so it is a little popular , especially among white collars . +But I am still traditional , so I felt weird when she paid for herself . +Forget about it ! +Are you satisfied with your girlfriend ? +It will be a long story . We have many differences , for example , she usually puts all her clothes into washing machine . That is the sort of thing I can not bear . +You ’ re going to set up your own law office , aren ’ t you ? +Yes . After so many years of hard work , I ’ d rather I had an office of my own . +If you need help , don ’ t hesitate to ask me . +I ’ ll be very glad if you would help . +I ’ d like to wish you every success in your new venture . +Thank you . I wish I would . +Good luck to you . +Do you know who Ammo Hung is ? +Of course . He is now 50 years old . And he started out studying alembics , singing , dancing and martial arts at the age of nine , and has tarred in 140 kung fu films . He has also become an independent producer and director . +You know only one aspect of him . Do you know what he would do in the kitchen ? +I have no idea . Tell me . +In the kitchen , with his wife by his side he still puts on quite a dinner time show . +What does he do there ? +Imagine a chef chopping vegetables on fast forward . Picture a man making a stir-fry , tossing the mixture up in the air , and then catching it , every last bit , in his work . And his culinary motto is ' Enjoy the moment . ' If you want to know hey theycook , visit www.StudioClassroom.com.tw for the recipe . +Wasn't that a great flick ? I was on the edge of my seat through the whole movie . +I would say it was a typical run-of-the-mill Hollywood thriller . +Well , I'm no movie expert , but those special effects were impressive by any standards . +Special effects ? Baloney ! That movie was made on a shoestring budget . They've been using trick photography like that for years +Okay . But you have to admit that it was an exciting story , especially with that surprise ending . +You should read the book . The original story is much better and has a different twist at the end . +Oh , really ? How does the book end ? +Read it yourself and find out ! +Do you know the highest mountain in the world ? +Yes . It is Everest , also called Zhumulangma in China . It is 8,844 . 43 meters above the sea level . +Wow ! That must be really awesome to stand on the top of the mountain to overlook the earth . +Actually , it is impossible because the mountain is covered with snow all year around . And is has heavy fog for most of the time . +Have people set foot on its peak ? +Yes , it has been conquered by many people in history . +I have been feeling sick for three days . +I'm most upset to hear that.Are you better now ? +Not much better.Thank you . +I'm feeling down . +Come on . Cheer up ! +Alice , I never knew you had such a lovely voice . You really can sing , can't you ? +Thanks , Mark . I used to be a member of the school choir . +No wonder you can control your voice so well . You are a professional singer . +Well , you are flattering me . I wouldn't say I am a professional , but I did receive some training at school . My music teacher used to be a professional singer . +Well , a good teacher makes good students . +You are quite right . +Mr.Keller , may I call at your home sometime the week ? +Oh , certainly.When would you like to come ? +Well , when will it be convenient for you ? +This weekend would be OK with me . +I Don't know how they do it ! Our competitors have undercut us by 10 % percent on the price of our latest model . There is no way will be able to compete against that . We're barely breaking even with the present prices . +These price wars are disastrous for our bottom line . If they're charging 10 % less than we are , we've got to find a way to lower our price while keeping our profit . +Profits are almost nonexistent now , we can't beat their price . How do they keep their price so low ? +We can try to lower our cost of production then . We need a price that we can compete with , something comparable with the competition . +You really think we can make it ? I don't have much faith in our ability to lower the price again . We're no match for them , the competition will beat us hands down . +Did you know Carl is almost fifty ? +Are you sure ? He doesn't look that old . +He told me so himself . +The city has got a traffic problem . +That means it's developing very fast . +You said it . +Problems are inevitable . +Well , you seem to enjoy speaking English . +You can't help learning when you're using it all day.You ' ll see . A few weeks ' study in the school will have a similar effect on you . +I hope so.You see , at the moment I find it difficult to get used to the teacher's speed and accent . I'm awfully worried , I can't reply as quickly as she seems to expect . +Oh , she likes keeping us on our toes by getting us use English throughout the class.She doesn't mind your making mistakes , though . +You know , speaking in class is a very good chance to put your English to practical use . +What ? You want to leave early ? +Yes . Can I ? +Do you really need to ? +Yes . Is it OK with you ? +Is it important ? +Yes . Do you mind ? +You really have to ? +Yes . Will you let me ? +I guess so . +What sort of things do you grow in your garden ? +I grow a variety of things , so that something is in bloom all year round . +When is your garden at its best ? +It looks best in spring , when the plum and cherry blossoms are out . +Hi Kevin , how was your year at college ? +It was great ! How was your year ? +It was good . Do you have a girlfriend at school ? +Yes , I'm dating someone . Her name is Amanda . +Your tie is handsome . +Oh , thank you . Your skirt looks beautiful , too . +Did you say that Ted was at your mercy ? +Sort of yes . +But he is not someone who can be led by the nose . +But I am not that someone . I can easily talk him into doing whatever I want him to do . +I failed the exam because I didn't study . +Serves you right . +Good morning . Sanyu Restaurant . May I help you ? +What time do you open this evening ? +We open at 6:30 , sir . +I see . I'd like to reserve a table for two . +Yes , sir . What time would you like your table , sir ? +I'm not sure , perhaps around 8 pm . +Fine ! I'll reserve a table for two at 8 pm , sir . May I have your name , please ? +Davis . +Thank you , Mr . Davis . +Oh , any chance of a table by the window ? My wife loves the bird's eye view . As it's her birthday , I want it to be a celebration . +I see . We have already received many bookings and though I can't guarantee anything , please be assured that we'll try our best , Mr . Davis . I hope you'll understand . +I do , but I would appreciate you , if it could be arranged . +We'll try our best . +Thank you . +Wow , this is drop-dead gorgeous . +So no more regret now ? +Don't remind me of that . This would be the last time I cut any classes for a basketball game . +Come on . Don't be so hard on yourself . Enjoy your life . +I just can't help it . Oh , look at Clive , he is really a big hit . They are definitely gonna win . +It's only seven minutes into the game , too early to cheer up . +Come on , 18 points already , they are never gonna catch up . +Who knows ! It's a long game . Look ! That was a really nice shot ! +Thay are coming back to narrow the gap . +Wait , that guy , I know him . He is just a bench warmer . +A secret weapon . They'd better set up the defense now . +Clive is ready to explode . Keep your eyes open . +Oh , man ! I can't believe it . A slam dunk ! +Good that he resembled his old , quick self . +Look at that pretty girl . +Wow ! She's gorgeous . +What are the seasons like in your city ? +Summers are hot and usually lasts a long time . Winters are short , but cold , wet , and windy . I love the summers in my city , but I hate the wintertime . +Does it ever rain in summer ? +We usually get a big thunderstorm every two weeks , but apart from that , summers are dry . Thunderstorms make the air fresh again , so most people don ’ t mind then . +What are spring and autumn like ? +I like spring because flowers bloom and trees grow leaves again . In spring , the weather is very changeable-sometimes cold , sometimes warm . It ’ s usually windy with some rain . Autumn is usually sunny and dry , but it ’ s gradually gets colder as winter arrives . What are the seasons like in you city ? +Well , I live in the southern hemisphere , so our summertime is your wintertime , and vice versa . We get some rain in every season , but most is in winter . In winter , it sometimes gets cold , but our winters are usually quite mild . Summers are warm , but not hot . Spring and autumn are both very short-sometimes just a few weeks each . The weather is very changeable then-just like spring in your city . +Do you usually go on a summer holiday ? +No , I don ’ t . I go on a winter holiday instead . I go somewhere warm . +I usually go on holiday during the spring or the autumn . I try to go somewhere where the weather is more reliable than in my city . +How do you think people get their personalities ? +I think it ’ s mainly from the environment a person lives in . +Don ’ t you think people get their personalities from their parents ? +No , but parents control a lot of the environment that kids grow up in , so they certainly influence their kids ' personalities a lot . +So why do you think many kids have personalities that are so different from their parents . +Maybe when they become teenagers , they want to be completely different to their parents . +You might be right . I guess most parents want their kids to be like them , but kids today grow up in a different environment . You know , they know much more about the world from the internet , newspapers , and tv . +Do you think that teenagers get a lot of their bad behaviour from tv and movies ? +Maybe some of it . I think a lot of people blame TV and movies when the real problem is that the parents aren ’ t bringing their child up correctly . +Parents have a difficult job . They have to bring up their children and usually have to work too . +Yes , that ’ s true . Your son is doing well at school , isn ’ t he ? +Yes , he is . He ’ s very hardworking when he ’ s at school . Then he comes home from school and does homework before dinner . After dinner , he goes out with his friends . +So , he ’ s not a bookworm ? It ’ s good that he has an outgoing personality . Some kids are very quiet and introverted . You wonder they ’ ll survive in the real world without their parents to support them . +Are you an art aficionado ? +Not really . I like going to an art exhibition once or twice a year . I hardly know anything about art or sculpture . You are a true art lover , aren ’ t you ? +I love going to art galleries , particularly when one is holding an exhibition of abstract art . +I never understand the meaning of those painting . They are too abstract for me . I didn ’ t pay much attention in art class at school . +Art isn ’ t for everyone . I ’ m going to an exhibition tomorrow at the national gallery . It ’ s an exhibition of greek and roman sculpture . +I like sculpture , especially that form ancient rome or Greece . What time are you thinking of going ? I ’ d love to go with you . +I thought I ’ d have an early lunch and go immediately afterwards . Does that sound ok to you ? Bus 51 goes directly there . +That sounds fine . What time shall we meet at the bus stop ? +Let ’ s meet at 12:30 . it will probably take us there or four hours to see all of the exhibits . +your daughter will be back soon . I'm going to start making dinner . You can just watch some TV in TV room if you like . We just bought a new TV with a LCD screen . The remote control is on the coffee ta +would you mind if I helped out in the kitchen instead ? I do enjoy cooking . +this is supposed to be your vacation ; we'd like you to just relax . +cooking makes me feel relaxed . So , what are we cooking ? +ok , well , we're going to make a pan of lasagne , a salad , and some garlic bread . Here's the recipe . Do you want to get the ingredients we need out of the cupboard ? +sure . We should probably pre-heat the oven right away , too . +that's a good idea . Can you set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius ? +that's a bit high for lasagne . I'll just set it at 180 degree and we can take it from there . +fine . I'll just get out the casserole dish , the saucepan , the salad bowl , and the baking sheet . +you know , I could do this myself . Why don't you go get the screwdriver and the pliers and go fix the vacuum cleaner so it works better ? +I don't think it's broken . +well , if it's not broken , then you need to learn how to vacuum better , because it doesn't look like you've vacuumed for ages ! +fine . I'll go vacuum . Let me know if you need any other help . +It's very kind of you to come and see us off . +My pleasure.What a pity you have to leave so soon ! +We would stay longer . but I've got to attend a meeting tomorrow morning . Thank you for your warm hospitality . +You're welcome . Maybe next time we'll come to see you . +My wife and I will look forward to it . +I promise the next holiday I have we're coming to visit . Oh , what's your flight number ? +lt's Flight No . 302 , Northwest Orient Airlines . +They just announced the boarding call . +Then we've got to get going . +OK . Bon voyage and a safe landing . +Thank you again for all your help . +Bye . +Labor is an abundant resource here . +One of many abundant resources , I'd like to point out . +I'm afraid I've had a terrible row with my boss . What shall I do ? +I think you'd better apologize . +Oh , but I can't . It wasn't my fault . +Maybe not , but I advice you to say it was your fault . +What's the matter with you ? You look so upset and tired . +My father failed in business . +Oh , that's really tough . +Maybe it is the most difficult period of my family have experienced . +I can understand . By the way , is there anyway I can help ? +No , not now . I have found a part-time job.So perhaps I can help my family to come over the difficulties . +Oh , that's so great , bless you ! if you need me , I'll always be there . +Thank you . +Come in . It's nice to see you again . +It's nice to be here . +Would you care for a drink ? +Just a club soda for me , please . +What can I do for you ? +I want to check out these books . +I need your library card . +I have it right here . +It seems you have late fees . +Are you sure ? +Yes , I ’ m sure . +How much ? +Your late fees come to $ 24.50 . +I don ’ t have that right now . +You have to pay it off before you can check out more books . +I ’ ll do that soon . +Hi Sarah , how are you ? +Fine , how are you doing ? +OK . +What do you want to do ? +I'm hungry . I'd like to eat something . +Where do you want to go ? +I'd like to go to an Italian restaurant . +What kind of Italian food do you like ? +I like spaghetti . Do you like spaghetti ? +No , I don't , but I like pizza . +How was your date with Betty ? +Let's change the subject . +The Johnson are on their way back . You remember them , don't you ? +Johnson ? I can't place them . +We met them in Bermuda last May . +They've completely slipped my mind . +The couple with the dogs-think back . +No , I don't recall a thing about them . +Well , I've invited them for brunch . +Hmm , I must be getting absent-minded . +Good to see you . Come on in . +Thank you . Here's a present for you . +Oh , you shouldn't . But thank you very much . +I have never experienced a roller coaster . I want you to sit beside me . +Wait a moment , I want to go to the toilet . +You try to put on a brave face . +It seems that you are an optimistic man who doesn't dismay easily . That is what a good salesman needs . Good luck . +Thank you . +I guess we have covered all the stuff that we need to discuss and it's time to say goodbye . +Yes , goodbye and keep in touch . +What are you going to do for your year abroad , Tim ? +Study study study ! I want to learn a lot . +You ’ re going to take courses ? +Yes , I ’ m going to take some university courses there . +Sounds hard . +Yes , but I think it ’ s probably for the best . +Won ’ t you get lonely ? +Hey , I ’ m a pretty cool guy ; I ’ ll make friends . And I ’ ll have a lot of extra-curricular activities too . You know , like fencing or theater or something . +You're from New York , aren't you ? +Yes , that's right . +What do you suggest I should see in New York ? +Well , how about the Museum of Modern Art ? +No , I don't like museums.They ' re boring . +Why don't you go to see the Empire State Building ? +Ah ! That sounds interesting . +I ’ ll sing you a song . +Yes , sing a song . But don ’ t sing a sad song . +Most of my songs are sad , sorry . +Well , please sing one that ’ s not sad . +OK , I ’ ll sing San Francisco then . +Is this Zhang Lin's home ? +Yes.Oh , it's you , Linda . I haven't seen you for a long time.Well , come in and sit down.How about something to drink ? +Yes , please . I'm a little thirsty , actually . +Would you like tea or coffee ? +Coffee , please . +Here you are . +Would you like to talk over a drink ? +That sounds good . How are you doing , Linda ? +Just fine.Are you busy now ? +No . I'm just killing time . +Shall we visit our math teacher tomorrow ? +Yes . I haven't been in his house for several weeks.When shall we start ? +How about eight o'clock tomorrow morning ? +All right . See you tomorrow . +I am going to celebrate my birthday with you all in a night club this year , what do you say ? +Fantastic ! I enjoy clubbing , especially those clubs with live bands . The only fly in the ointment is that the air is bad , full of smoke , and the music is too loud , so conversations are not really possible . Once I nearly got burnt by a cigarette . +How did that happen ? +A wild dancer dropped it on my left foot and said nothing about it . If I had drunk enough and I would have had the bold to punch him in the face . +Sounds cool ! But that is not what a lady should do . People are easy to lose head in a night club and being drunk . +How's your mother doing ? +She is so pretty sick . +That's too bad . I wish your mother can recover soon . +Thank you . +The trouble is not that . It is that he may suddenly remember something I promised him a couple of weeks ago , out of a clear blue sky . Then he complains that I have gone back on my words . +Does he do that with his Dad ? I mean , does he complain things to his father ? +He never does , and in fact , he seldom communicates with him . +But didn ’ t you say that his Dad takes him under his wings ? +Yes , I did . He only takes side with him . He seldom asks what Dick is doing . +Do you know where you want to transfer to ? +I don ’ t have the slightest clue . +What school would you like to go to ? +I ’ m not sure . +You honestly have no idea ? +PCC is perfectly fine for me . +You might as well stay here . +That ’ s not a bad idea . +PCC is a wonderful institution . +You have a point . +So , what are you going to do ? +I ’ m just going to keep going to PCC . +Hi , Walter ! +Hi , Sterling ! +What do you think of our new teacher ? +Professor Wood ? I think he's a brilliant scientist . +You're got a point there.But do you think he's a little absent-minded ? +I guess so . +Hello , Bob , this is Frank . +I know , we've met . +I didn't know you knew Frank . +Yes , we met last year at a conference . +Aren't you staying for the party ? +No . I'm tired and I've got to work tomorrow . +I don't blame you for getting some rest . +Yeah . I need to . +What ? +What happened with that guy at the cafe ? +nothing +But you ’ re crazy about him ? +Yes , I am . +Why don ’ t you run off with him ? What are you waiting for ? +I don ’ t actually know him . +Really ? +I only know him through the ... you are not gonna believe this . +Oh , let me guess . Through the internet ? +Yes . +Hmm . You ’ Ve got mail . +How do you like Tom ? +I like him very much . He ’ s a gay dog . +Are you ready to welcome him ? +I am all set . He can come anytime . +What kind of job have you ever had ? +I used to work as a teacher . +How did you like your job ? +Oh , if I hadn't moved here I would never thought of changing it . +It ’ s a wonderful party , Joan , The food , the drink , the atmosphere ... Everyone is enjoying himself . +Thanks to your help.To our friendship . +Bottoms up ! By the way what kind of entertainment are we gonna have ? +Dancing . The boys from the Campus Band have promised to play music for us . +Oh , how wonderful ! Every girl on the campus has a crush on those handsome guys . +I'll surely make introductions for them . +This is the first time for me to have a Chinese guest . I hope you like western cooking . +Yes . I like it very much . +Cooking is a hobby with me . I'm always trying to think up new recipes . I hope you like the soup . It's kind of a specialty of mine , so I hope you enjoy it . +It's excellent . +Thank you for your compliment . Won't you try this fish with white sauce ? I'm rather round of it . +It's delicious . +What sort of western food do you like best ? +I like beefsteak very much . Have you tried Chinese dishes ? +I find the Chinese dishes wonderful . +Well , it's getting late . I have to get up early tomorrow . So I must say good night . +It's still early . +To be a revolutionary needs great courage ! +He must be courageous enough to fly in the face of established authorities . +Galileo is one of them . +So are Copernicus and many others . +I think Andy's party will be fun . +Yeah , I think so . Oh , by the way , I need to ask you something . +What's that ? +Could I get back the sweater you borrowed ? +Sure . Oh , that reminds me . Could I borrow your black leather boots ? +My boots ? Er ... Sure , ok . +Hot in here , isn't it ? +Yeah , really . +Is it Ok if I sit here ? +Of course . Suit yourself . +Thanks . My name's Bill Peters , by the way . +Hi , I'm Susan Jackson . +Nice to meet you . And what do you do , Susan ? +I'm a student at UCLA . +Oh , are you ? And what are you studying ? +Medicine . +Really ? +Yes , I want to be a doctor one of these days . What about you ? +I'm an engineer , I work for Boeing . Say , would you like a drink ? +Sure . Thanks . +So , Fred , what are your plans for after graduation ? +Well , I've already got a job waiting for me back in my hometown . +That's cool . Have you already found an apartment to live in ? +I ’ m planning on living with my parents . Won't you ? +I couldn't even if I wanted to . My parents told me that if I went home , then I'd have to find my own place . +You mean they're kicking you out ? +Not really , they just don't want me living at home . My older sister did that , and she lived at home for seven years . Once she started living at home , it got harder and harder for her to move out . +Well , it's not like my parents want me to live at home the rest of my life . They said that it's ok if I move back home to begin with , but they want me to find a place of my own after a year or so . +My parents just didn't handle my older sister very well , and because of that , they want me to be more independent . They think that it's important that I should learn how to live on my own . +I know I need to learn that myself , but I just don't have the money for it at the moment . Living at home allows me to save up some money before I started finding a place . +I'd love to continue this conversation , but I really need to go now . I have to get back to the office . +Well , let's get together soon . +Okay . Would you like to have lunch some day next week ? +Sure . How about Monday ? +Hmm . I'm afraid I can't make it on Monday . I've got to fly to Chicago on business . +Well unfortunately , I'm tied up on Tuesday . I'm supposed to have lunch with an important visitor from out of town , and I don't think there's any way I can get out of it.Are you free on Wednesday ? +Wednesday ? Let me see . Hmm . Somehow I think I've already got something scheduled for Wednesday . Oh , yes ! I've got an appointment with my dentist to have my teeth cleaned , and it's essential that I keep it . +Well , I'm afraid Thursday is out for me . I'm expected to attend a meeting of our personnel committee , and it's very important for me to be there . +So that leaves Friday . I don't have any obligations or commitments on Friday.How about you ? +Friday sounds good . Where should we meet ? +You know , I really must be going now or I'll be very late . Can you give me a call tomorrow an we'll decide ? +Where are you going ? +It ’ s Tuesday today . I always go to my class on Tuesday night . +I didn ’ t know you were taking any kind of class . Tell me about it . +Well , I ’ m learning how to use math in the business environment . +What for ? +The job market is so competitive nowadays . I want to develop some useful skills . +I really admire you for that . How is it going ? +It ’ s going all right . I ’ m learning some things for the first time , but I ’ m also brushing up on some things that I already know . +May I ask what the name is the girl ? +Which one ? +The tallest one . +She is Miao Li . She's come here to see her brother . +Oh , it's so . She looks very lovely . Could you give me some else information on her ? +OK . She's a costume designer and works in a garment mill . +How do you think about her ? +She looks very beautiful . She is a nice girl . +I'm wondering if she has boyfriend . +No , she hasn't . +Great ! Thank you very much . +How may I help you ? +I want to get a passport . +You need to apply for a passport . +When can I apply for it ? +You can apply right now . +I ’ d like to do that . +Fill this out , please . +What ’ s next ? +I will need to take your passport picture . +When will my passport be ready ? +It will take about three weeks . +That ’ s great . Thank you . +What are you thinking about ? +About my boyfriend . +Again ! +You are really a wet blanket . +Mr . : For tomorrow , read pages 12 to 20 . Then do exercises one through ten on page 21 . +Do we have to type out our homework ? +Mr . : No . You only do that when you write reports . +Is there anything else ? +Mr . : For those of you who don't have a calculator , get one . +We are allowed to use a calculator in class ? +Mr . : Yes . By the way , review today's notes this evening . We may have a small quiz tomorrow . +Lucy , come here ! I can see the lake which is in the center of park . +It is beautiful ! Look , there are so many birds around it . +It is a great place for a relaxing vacation . +Listen to the sound of nature ! It's like music . +Yeah , I agree . It makes you feel really good . +What are those ? +Do you mean the red things ? They are roses . +I'm going to take more pictures today . +Me , too . +So , is L . A . all it's cracked up to be ? +Well , the stereotype in the movies is that L . A . is a frivolous town with a lot of flaky people . I guess , in the back of my mind , that's what I expected . +And , is it what you found ? +Well , it is and it's not . The city of L . A . is much bigger and more diverse than I had expected . There are people here from all over the country and all over world , like New York . I've heard people say that in L . A . , everyone is from somewhere else . Tha's partly true . So , I've met all kinds of people here . What I'm realizing is that the picture of L . A . that's in movies only represents a small segment of the city . +You're right . Life isn't always like the movies . +Good morning , Miss . +Morning . Can I help you ? +Yes , I'd like to know how to use the library . You know , I'm a new student here . +All you need is your student identification card to check out books . +Yes . Here's my identification . +That's all you need . +Thank you very much . By the way , how many books am I allowed to check out ? +You can check out two books at a time . But you can't check out newspapers , magazines and periodicals , they have to be read within library . +How long can I keep the books ? +For two weeks . After that you must renew the book if you wish to keep them longer . +I want a book on physics . Could you show me where I can find it ? +Yes , over there to your left . +What a wonderful game ! +Yes , the weather is wonderful , the game is wonderful and the players are wonderful . +I think John is the best player on the field . +He certainly is . He is the Peckham in our collage . +Maybe he shouldn ’ t come to collage , he should become a football star . +Thank you for organizing this great baby shower for me ! I ’ Ve always been to baby showers but never actually had one held for me ! Let ’ s get started ! +Ok , let ’ s start opening some presents ! +Oh look ! What a great little bib for the baby ! This will definitely come in handy ! Oh wow , you also got me a stroller ! That ’ s so great ! Thank you ! +This next one is from Betty . +A highchair and car seat ! Wow Betty , thank you so much ! I really appreciate it ! +One more from Carla . +A playpen and crib ! Thanks Carla ! This is just what I needed ! +OK , that ’ s all of them.No more gifts . Now who wants to guess when the baby is due ? +Umm . I think my water just broke ! Get me to a hospital ! +By the way , how many books am I allowed to check out ? +You can check out two books at a time . +How long can I keep the books ? +For two weeks . After that you must renew the books if you wish to keep them longer . +Susan ? What brings you here today ? +Well , I ’ Ve got some papers due . +Really ? So what ’ s the news ? +Not too good yet . Better than I was though . +I'm going on a guided tour in the mountain . +You'll see the world-famous magnificent waterfall . +I like the sight and the sound . It worked on me like a magic when I was a child +Your dream will come true . It's really breathtaking +I work so hard that I do not have the energy to exercise . +That is just an excuse.You can always find some time to exercise . +But I work hard all the time for long hours . Often I have no time for lunch . Yet , I am still getting fatter . +Bill , you know that work is not the same as exercise as it is stressful but not relaxing.And skipping meals will not help you lose weight.In fact your body will only store fat if you miss meals . +I know you're right , but what can I do ? +How about going for a walk instead of sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper after dinner every night ? +But I'll miss the news.It ' s important in my business to keep up with events in China . +I know , I know.Have you got a portable radio ? You can listen to the news and get healthy at the same time . +That's a good idea ! +Excuse me , how can I fill in this blank ? What does marital status mean ? +Are you married ? +No , I'm still single . +Then , you put S in this blank . +Good morning , you look very tired . +Yes , I nearly didn't sleep last night . +Did you hold a party or something else yesterday ? +No , I just watched Supergirl , and it began too late in the night . I was too excited to get asleep after one o'clock . +I don't like this program , because there are too many constant arguments between the judges . +The contestants are different . These girls perform in free styles . +Do you have much time watching TV ? +I think less than 3 hours . This year I didn't watch any entertainment programs . Too many ads between the programs . I prefer listening to the radio . +I don't like ads , either . But ads could bring big profits to the TV station . +If they could make beautiful ads , I could bear . +You should draw a picture of a fancy kingdom of animals in forty minutes . +All right . But how ? +Just imagine , if a horse can fly , if a bird can swim ... and things like that . +I see . But could you give me another piece of paper ? +OK . Here you are . Anybody who wants help , please come to me . +Thank you so much , Mr Addison . +Mom , I've got something to tell you . +So , please ! +Aunt Jane buys a new bike for Tom . He is putting on grand airs . +I bought you a new one last year . Isn't it handsome ? +It is great . But Tom's bike is so much better than mine . +Frankly , he is more well-behaved than you . +Nothing of that sort ! +Why hasn't the bus come yet ? Every morning we have to wait for so long . +Mom , it's OK . I will buy a big car one day . It is faster than the bus . +Really ? I am looking forward to that . What about the traffic ? +Let me see.Yes . I will buy a plane for you . There is no traffic up there . +Hey Steve . When's the next time you're going to play golf ? +I'm going out this Saturday . +Do you already have a foursome ? +Unfortunately , we do . Let's plan for something together for Wednesday . We can go right after work . +That sounds good . Where do you want to play ? +We won't have much time , so let's play somewhere close to work . +How about Bellevue ? It's pretty close . +How much does it cost over there ? +Twilight rates are 21 dollars . +That's pretty good . Let's do it . +Aright . I'll get a tee time for Wednesday at about 4 +Make it 4 +Ok . I'll call you later when I get a tee time . +Sounds good . I'll see you on Wednesday then . +Aright . Have fun on Saturday . +Will do . +What's the weather like in your hometown ? +Um , very nice . It's warm in spring and cool in autumn . +Is it hot in summer ? +Yes , it is , but not as hot as in Beijing . +He told the police that Ted was the murderer . +He is playing hob with the fact . +Why do you say so ? +Because he stayed with me all the time that night . +Hey , let's arm wrestle ! +Not now . +Chicken ! You're afraid I'll beat you . +Are you kidding ? I just feel tired right now . +Oh , God . It ’ s late . I ’ m afraid I have to leave . +But you just got here . Can ’ t you stay a little longer and have some tea ? +That ’ s very kind of you . But if I don ’ t go now I ’ ll miss the last bus . +That ’ s too bad . +Thank you for your hospitality . +Thanks for coming . +How about next time we meet at my place ? And I ’ ll treat you to Chinese food . I know how much you like it . We can order in and watch video too . Anything you like , I promise . +Great idea . I ’ m looking forward to it . See you then . +Well . I really do have to go . +Good night then . +See you tomorrow . +isn't it wonderful walking here ? +what do you mean ? +I mean look at all these magnificent tall buildings around us . +yes , look over there . That's the Empire State Building . My book says it's 102 stories tall . +it's quite famous but don't you think it looks a bit old-fashioned ? +you're right , but when it was built in 1930 it was a marvel of technology and engineering . +what other important buildings are we going to see on Fifth Avenue ? +quite a number . Actually every skyscraper has a history . A few blocks ahead we'll see St.Patrick ' s Cathedral and just across the street will be the world-renowed Rockefeller Center . It's a landmark +what's there after that ? +well then , there's a Central Park . Facing the park on Fifth Avenue is probably some of the most expensive properties in the world . +what are all they for ? +most of them are office buildings , huge department stores , and hotels but some are just private homes . New York is one of the financial centers of the words so there are lots of very expensive places . +Hi , Daisy ! +Hi Simon . Nice to meet you again +I hope you are Settling in at school ! +I am ! I've made lots of friends and I really enjoy my courses . +Good ! Me too ! By the way . you didn't tell me what you are studying here . +Didn't I ? I'm doing business studies . +Really ? That's great . You hope to join a company after graduating ? +Maybe . My parents moved to Canada the year when I was born . We are living in Toronto . Suppose I might get a job in Toronto when I graduate . It's too soon to say really . +What about your friend Zoe +She's from Australia . She lives in Sydney . Her father runs a hotel business there and she is doing a degree in accountancy . +Accountancy ? Really ? She must be very good at figures . +I guess so . What about you , Simon ? +I'm studying law . +Great ! So I'll know who to call if I ever need a lawyer . +Sure , welcome anytime +Emily , are you getting rushed by a sorority ? +More than one . I think the count is now three , if I remember correctly . +Wow . I'm getting rushed too , but just one . Are you thinking of joining any of them ? +I don't know . I know there are advantages to joining , but I'm not much into group stuff . +The guys I've talked to say that the activities that go on in a frat house can be a little distracting depending on the group . +I think I'm going to decline . I just prefer to do my own thing . +Were your parents involved in that kind of thing at all when they went to school ? +My dad was , but not my mom . +Are you studying any languages here ? +Yes , I'm studying in the Foreign Languages Department . +What are you majoring in ? +I'm majoring in English . +Is it difficult to learn ? +Yes . The language is hard to learn , but it's interesting . +Do you know anything about Britain and America ? +I'm reading a lot of books about the two countries . I like the culture . +Right.It ' s important to learn the culture of a nation if you want to learn the language well . +You're right . +How are you ? +I'm fine thanks . How about you ? +I'm okay . What are you doing these days ? +Not a lot , actually . Busy at work of course - we've got a big project coming up in Malaysia . I may have to go to KL in a few weeks . +That's great . When are you starting ? +Probably in a week or two . I'll let you know . +Mary is such a cautious girl ! +What do you mean by cautious ? +She never puts words into her mouth , she only repeats the opinions of others . +Thats a clever way to escape responsibility . +He has a girlfriend already . +You are kidding ! He just broke up with Ann . +Her new girlfriend is a far cry from Ann . She is like a breath of fresh air . +I hope I will meet her soon . +Let ’ s cross here . +You ’ re kidding . We ’ ll never make it across in one piece ! Let ’ s cross at the light . +Now we have to walk all the way down to the end of the street . +If you want to cross here , be my guest . I don ’ t feel like dodging cars and scooters ! +Jenny , are you having fun here ? +Yes , of course . This is really a nice party with wonderful people and lovely wines . +I ’ m glad you ’ re enjoying it . +Thank you for the invitation . +It ’ s my pleasure . Would you like another glass of champagne ? +Yes , please . Thank you for everything . +Steven , have you ever met Hanson ever since he went back to London ? +No , but we still stay in touch . +What's the way you keep in contact ? +We contact through email . +Email is not always the best form . I think QQ is way better . +Your words sound a bit reasonable . But don ’ t forget the time difference . +You're right . +Joanna , I will go to the outlet center . You wanna go with me ? +It's so faraway . +I saw Emily yesterday evening . She was wearing a CD evening gown . She told me she bought it in the outlet center and she saved $ 120 ! +$ 120 ? ! Then I should go and see what I can get ... +Hello Mike ! Would you like a drink ? +No , thank you . I had too much to drink yesterday evening . I had a bad hangover this morning . My head felt terrible . +Were you celebrating something ? +Yes . It was a friend ’ s birthday party . We drank all kinds of things-beer , wine and spirits . After midnight , we were even drinking cocktails ! +It ’ s a bad idea to drink a combination of alcoholic drinks . You should stick with one for the whole evening . +I know , but it was a celebration , you Kwon ? I don ’ t think I ’ Ve see you drunk . +I usually only drink beer and I rarely drink more than a few pints . +You are a sensible drinker . Anyway , I ’ m not going to drink any alcohol this evening . I don ’ t ’ want another bad hangover . +Let me buy you a soft drink then . How about a coke ? +Yeah . That ’ s a good idea . I heard that coke was first used as a medicine . +Rally ? ... barman ! ... a large coke with ice and lemon , please ... thanks . Here ’ s the money . +Are you going to the wine tasting tomorrow ? +Yes . I thought it might be interesting to learn a little about wine ... +... and taste a few ! There will be wines from several countries and an expert to give advice on which wines are good and which ones are not . +Yes . I ’ m looking forward to it . +Excuse me , do you know where the visa office is ? +Yes , I do . I ’ ll walk you there . +Thanks ! +Are you applying to study or work abroad ? +I want to study abroad . +What do you want to study ? +I hope to study English literature . +Have you got your visa yet ? +Not yet . I have an interview with the visa official today . +I see . Is it your first interview ? +No , I've already been to here for three interviews . +What happened ? +I was denied a visa ? +Why ? +Like most students . I want to work in America after graduation . +I see . Well , good luck ! +He's only interested in harassing you . How can he expect us to have so much time to waste ? +I almost want to send him a virus to shut his stupid computer down . +As obnoxious as Bean is , we should still try to finish this case . +True-well , do you have any forwards for me to send him ? +Yeah ! Remember that one about putting light bulbs in your mouth ? +What does your sister look like , Mike ? +Well , she ’ s tall and pretty . +Is she like you ? +I suppose so . We ’ re both friendly and easy-going . +Is she as clever as you ? +No , she ’ s not as clever as me . +Big head ! +When were you born may I ask ? +On 20th May 1963 . +Do you know what it was according to the lunar calendar ? +27th day of the fourth month . +By the way , could you tell me when the film will begin ? +It will begin at five thirty . +I am frigid I can't be there on time . +You can see it tomorrow . +I don't want to miss it today . +See you . +See you . +Honey , do you have a second ? +Sure ! Are you okay ? You seem a bit worried.What ’ s on your mind ? +We need to talk . +Okay ... +I ’ Ve been thinking , and well , I think we need to start seeing other people . +What ? Why ? I mean , we ’ Ve had our ups and downs , and we have the occasional disagreement , but we ’ re happy together , aren ’ t we ? +That ’ s just it , I ’ m not happy anymore , Tim . It ’ s not you , it ’ s me . I know that I can be hard to deal with , and you are a great guy ! You are the type of guythat any woman would kill for ! +So , what are you saying ? You ’ re breaking up with me because I ’ m perfect ? +Tim , you are too good for me . You deserve someone who can make you smile and make you happy the way that you made me happy . Oh , I could say that I ’ ll be all you need , but that would be a lie . I know I ’ d only hurt you , I know I ’ d only make you cry . +Baby , come on . Don ’ t do this to me ! Whatever it is , we can work it out . Just give me another chance ! I know that we can get through this , but we gotta stick together ! Don ’ t leave me . +I can ’ t , Tim . I hope someday you can find some way to understand I ’ m only doing this for you . I don ’ t really wanna go but , deep in my heart I know this is the kindest thing to do . +Laura ... +Here are your keys . I ’ ll send my sister to pick up the rest of my things next week . I ’ m sorry , Tim . I wish you all the best , and I hope that one day we can meet again . I ’ ll always love you . Goodbye . +Did you hear what happened to Mike in Accounts ? +No . What ? +He got arrested on Friday night and spent the night in jail . +No . Really , what happened ? +Well , it was all a big mistake , actually . He got home on Friday night really late , and apparently he'd been out drinking with some clients , so he was really drunk . +Was he out with the guys from the bank ? +Yes , I think so . +Oh , yeah , they always get really drunk . +Well , anyway , he'd somehow lost his wallet and his house keys , so he couldn't get in . He lives alone , you know . +Oh , really . I thought he lived with his wife . +No , she left him last year . +Oh , really ? Do you know why ? +Hang on , let me finish telling you what happened . Where was I ? +He lost his wallet and keys . +Oh yes , well , he tried to climb in through the bathroom window , but apparently he slipped and broke the glass with his foot . The neighbors heard him and thought a robbery was in progress , so they called the police . +Oh , no . +Yes . So when the cops arrived , they didn't believe his story +So then what happened ? +Well , when he sobered up , he called someone from work to come and bail him out . +Well , that's a bit of a tricky situation . +Yes , I know . +What's your opinion about childless couples ? Will you choose to have no kids ? +To be honest , I wouldn't . +Why ? Do you have to make a choice now ? +Not really . But it has puzzled me for a long time . +What's the puzzle ? +My husband and I prefer to have no kids , but my mother-in-law is very traditional and wants grandkids . +Oh , I see . I think the older generation tend to think in a different way . +Yes . It seems she can never accept a childless marriage . We had a fight last night . +Oh , really ? Maybe she is just eager to see her grandchildren . +But it's absolutely our own business to have a child or not . +Definitely . +You know , I often overhear our neighbor , the young couple , fighting about how to raise their kid and I really don't want kids to spoil our happiness . +Don't worry . I think in most cases , children are the glue that keeps a family together . +I guess you're right . But I still prefer to have no child . +Sure . You can fully enjoy your time together . +Hi , Jim and Wendy . Where're you going ? +We're going to that new restaurant for lunch . Would you like to join us ? +You ’ re a big fan of Andy Lau , aren ’ t you ? +Yes , I ’ Ve been got all his albums and most of his films on DVD . I adore him . He ’ s my idol . +How come you don ’ t have all of his films on DVD ? +Some of his early films are hard to find nowadays , especially the ones where he only played a bit part . +I see . I ’ m sure you ’ ll find them one day . I see you also have several poster of him . +Yes . These posters are new . I bought them last week and put them up on my bedroom walls yesterday . +Are you a member of his fan club ? +I was , but then I discovered you can find out everything for free on the internet , so I ’ m not a member now . +Did you see the interview with Andy Lau in cosmopolitan magazine last month ? +Of course ! I bought two copies . +Two copies ? One to keep and one to cut the pictures out of , right ? +How did you enjoy your family party at “ ginger ’ s ” ? I hear that they have a lovely menu and buffet . +Oh , it was great . We had seafood buffet . They do one every Friday . The waiters and waitresses are very good . They are very attentive , but don ’ t hang around the table . +I like the buffets they have , but if often order a la carte , because I don ’ t feel extremely hungry . I like the wine list there too . +Yes , so do I . they have wines from all over the world . There is a good range of prices to suit every pocket . We ordered some Australian red wine , which tasted delicious and wasn ’ t expensive . +Some restaurants allow you to take your own wine and just charge you corkage , but the don ’ t do that at “ ginger ’ s ” . what was included in the seafood buffet ? +They had almost every kind of seafood . There were oyster , shrimp , prawns , crabs , and fish . I ate a lot of smoked salmon . +Did they have lobster ? +No , they didn ’ t . you could order it from the menu . I think that lobster is too expensive to be included in the buffet . +Yes , it probably is . I don ’ t like ordering oysters in restaurants . You never know whether they are fresh . +I know . I didn ’ t eat any , but a few people in our group did and no one got sick . +When you eat out , do you usually eat from the buffet ? +Not usually . I usually just order a main course and have a dessert if I ’ m still hungry afterwards . +Oh , you don ’ t usually have a starter ? +No , I might have a soup if it ’ s a cold winter day . +Harry , do you like the opera ? +No , not really . +Why is that ? It is called real art . +Well , it's very expensive and they're usually singing in another language . That kind of gets on my nerves . +Yeah , that makes sense . +Hello there ! Come on in ! Don ’ t just stand there ! Come and take a seat ! +Um , okay . Well , I just want a trim . Nothing too fancy . +Oh my gosh ! Your hair is amazing ! So silky , so shiny ! I am going to work my magic on your hair ! You hear me ? You are going to look like a million bucks ! +Okay . Um ... can you make sure my sideburns are even and you just take a little off the top . +Don ’ t you worry , I ’ ll take care of everything ! Oh my god ! I just love your curly hair ! It ’ s so fluffy and cute ! You should totally let it grow out . An afro would look great on you ! +Um ... no . +Okay , but you are going to be my masterpiece ! +May doesn't get along very well with her mother-in-law . +Yeah . That's just what is troubling John . +Poor John ! He is bothering both sides of this bread . +This situation isn't easy to handle . +what do you think about this store ? I heard it ’ s a posh store that ’ s only got branches in big cities . +I love this store . The only problem is that it ’ s extremely expensive . +don ’ t worry . I ’ Ve decided that for your birthday I ’ m going to take you shopping for a new dress . +really ? I thought you hated shopping ? +I do , that ’ s why you should appreciate this gift ! +sure . That ’ s really nice of you . Let ’ s go in and try some things on . +how about this red dress ? I think it would really suit you . +that ’ s gorgeous ! Do they have it in a size 8 ? +here you go.On any other day , it would cost me a fortune , but it ’ s on special offer today . +I think this color isn ’ t quite right for me . Do they have the same dress in white ? +let me look . Let ’ s see ... they ’ Ve got one in blue , green , pink , black ... and white . Here you are . +this is perfect ! What do you think ? +I think you look fantastic . Happy Birthday ! +I ’ m so lucky . You only get a chance like this once in a blue moon ! Thanks honey ! +Judy , what is everybody talking about ? +Haven ’ t you heard ? Richard was fired by our manager . +You ’ re kidding . It can ’ t be true . +Believe it or not . Everybody is talking about it in the company . +Really ? I ’ m surprised . +Me too . +Do you think that climate change is responsible for the recent floods ? +It could be . There are floods in this country almost every year , but in recent years they have been more widespread and more frequent . +It seems that the climate in this country is changing . +The summers are hotter . The last three summers have been the hottest for the past 200 years . There have also been stronger winds . +I think that the changing climate is a sign that we are causing too much damage to the environment . +I think you ’ re right . Climate change naturally over time , but I think that human activities are speeding up the change . I wish that government would join together and try to resolve the problem . +Me too . If we don ’ t do something soon , It might be too late . +I remember you said that you like China because it has cheap beers . +Yes , unbelievably cheap . Carlsborg is less than $ 1 . +Why do you drink ? I mean , where does drinking get you ? +It's fashionable . +Come on , you don't even know that blinds following is a sign of immaturity . +Mary , it's not about the blind following . What matter is I enjoy in drinking . It's like when you get off of work . You're so tired . You need to get relaxed . You can't just turn on the TV and keep watch the programs until you fall asleep . You need to make your after work time more fun . +How ? By drinking ? +Drinking is just part of it . I mean , you have a bunch of friends coming by and having fun . You drink and talk . And the more you drink , the more you talk . It makes me so relaxed . +When did you begin to drink ? +It's a long time ago . When I first went to a bar to pick up girls there , I saw the most beautiful girl sitting and sipping a coke . Then I went up to her and said ' can I buy you a drink ? ' +And then ? +Then I talked to her and got her number . You know what ? When you don't know what to say ? Just drink . +So you get drunk every day ? +What is your favorite pastime ? +Fishing . It's great fun . +Is it ? Mine is climbing mountains on Sunday mornings . +No wonder you always look so active . +hello , Deva , how are you ? +can't complain . What about you ? +not bad . Have you heard Wendy divorced her husband ? +I've heard . She looks quite depressed . +Yes . They used to be joined at the hip . +I heard they were just married for 5 months . +yes , she said they couldn't communicate well with each other and they often argued over trivial things . +yeah . Mixed marriage is tempting but crisis-ridden . +you said it . You know , they fall in love at first sight and quickly jumped into marriage . +maybe they were just attracted to each other but too different to be married . +yeah . We Chinese have quite different lifestyles and values from foreigners . +definitely . That's why many cross-cultural marriages end in divorce . +we've heard so much about Chinese film stars divorcing foreigners . +that's true.Just hope Wendy can recover from the pain of divorce soon . +Here's Copellini's , my cousin's store . +Sounds like an Italian name with an “ i ” at the end . +Admit it . You just think of Mussolini . +No , I'm an art lover , so I think more of Bellini and Botticelli ! +Ah , yes . The Italians do love the sensual forms of the human body . +Don't we all ... hey ! Your cousin sells gift items ? +Yeah-all from Italy . See all the saints ? They're important to Roman Catholics . +Thanks for the pizza . It was delicious . +It's okay . +Next time , it's on me . +Don't be silly . +I'm serious . +Alright . Next time , we can try some other flavors . +Certainly . The vegetarian pizza looks pretty good . It must be very delicious . +Definitely . I really like Italian food . +I really admire you , Diana . +Why , Jerry ? Your words just came out of the blue . +You are always happy and able to achieve high scores at school . +I work very hard and that's it , you know , practice makes perfect . +Isn't there anything else ? +I have no idea . +You must have a high IQ score . +Well , Jerry , let me tell you a secret . +Go ahead . +My IQ score is slightly above average . +Seriously ? But you are such a genius . +Maybe I've got a higher EQ . I'm not sure . +Well , perhaps you're right . Sometimes EQ matters more than IQ . +You can say that again , Jerry . And I'm sure you're high in both of them . With a little more time cracking the books , you can also get high marks . +OK , thank you . I'm going to the library , are you coming ? +Let's go ! +The academy is an important part of the education system . +I couldn't agree with you more . +What does this have to do with me ? +You know all about coffee . I need your advice , so I won't look stupid when I order . +Order tea . Isn't that what you like to drink ? +Come on , Hugh ! Tea is for wimps ! Please , I need your help . +If you want to be macho , order a double shot of espresso . +Now you're talking . That sounds good . What is it ? +Your father looks much younger in the picture . +He was 20 years old then . +How old is he now ? +He's over sixty . +Hey , Mike , is Jenny coming with us ? +Yes . Why ? +Nothing . I'm just asking . +Just asking ? But why is your face burning like mad ? Ah-huh , someone has a crush on Jenny , doesn't he ? +Who has a crush ? ! +Come on , Ted , don't be such a chicken . If you like her , you've got to tell her . Maybe she likes you . +Well , I don't have the guts to ask her out . +What're you so afraid of ? Just tell her what you're feeling about her . +I'd totally die if she turned me down . +But that's better than keeping everything to yourself . You've got to let her know . Come on ! You've got to take a chance ! Even though you are rejected , it's not the end of the world ! There's nothing to lose , is there ? +I don't know ... Well , maybe , you're right , but how am I going to tell her ? +It looks like it's going to be sunny . +Yes , it's much better than yesterday . +They say we're going to get some rain later . +Oh , let's just hope it stays warm . +Does anyone need a drink ? +I'll take one . How's the cooler situation ? +It's still stocked , and there's plenty of ice . Here you are-cheers ! +Cheers . You guys didn't drive , did you ? +No , we walked . Why , do you need us to carry some stuff home later ? +No , it's just that it's a holiday . With everyone out partying , there's a lot of drunk driving . +Thanks a million . +My pleasure . ( It was my pleasure . ) +Would you honor us with a visit ? +I'd love to . Thanks . +When will you be convenient ? +Any time will suit me . +Are you doing anything tomorrow ? +I'm free tomorrow . +I'll pick you up at about nine o'clock , will it do ? +All right , see you then . +Would you mind if I use your tape-recorder ? +I don't mind . Go ahead . +I'll give it back to you in a couple of days . +OK . You can keep it as long as you need . +What are you doing this weekend ? +I am not sure . What are you doing ? +I was thinking of maybe taking a drive to the beach . +That sounds like a great idea ! +Would you be interested in joining me ? +Sure , I would love to go with you . When would you be leaving ? +I thought that we could leave around 8 +That would give us plenty of time to explore . Did you know that there is a music festival on the beach in Santa Barbara ? +That was part of my plan . +Well then , I'll see you on Saturday . Thanks for asking me to go with you . +Congratulations on your success in the competition . That is quite something . +Thank you . I was lucky this time . +I think luck played a very small part in your victory . It is solely due to your hard work and efforts . That brings honor to you and joy to us . +I am flattered . +It is real word . +Thank you very much . +Oh ! You're engaged ! What a beautiful engagement ring ! Who to ? +Of course Mike . Who else ? We fell in love at first sight . +When's the wedding going to be ? +We haven't decided yet . There are a lot of things to sort out , you know . +Are you having a big wedding ? +Yes , I've always dream of having a big wedding . +But what do you say about that ? +I don't really enjoy big occasions , but I think I ’ ll come round to the idea in the end , It only happens once in a lifetime . +Perhaps I'll agree with Mike . I couldn't stand a big wedding with many relatives and friends of my parents or my wife whom I'd never met before . +Who ’ s this ? your girl-friend ? +No , it ’ s my sister . +How old is she ? +She ’ s 18 . +She is tall ? +Yes , she is . +And she is thin , isn ’ t she ? +Well , just a little thin . +How ’ re you today ? +Pretty good , thanks . And you ? +What ’ s the main idea in this essay ? +The United Nations should have more authority . +Hi , Walter ! +Hi , Sterling ! +What do you think of our new teacher ? +Professor Wood ? I think he's a brilliant scientist . +You're got a point there.But do you think he's a little absent-minded ? +I guess so . +I don't understand why some parents keep beefing and complaining about their daughters not being able to follow suit . +Yeah . Li Na's mother has been building a fire under her since her neighbour's daughter got married with a Canadian . She's almost driving Li Na crazy . +If I were Li Na , I would ask her if she had done that . +She a as meek as a lamb . She never goes against anyone or anything . She's as good as gold , you know ? +Those are today ’ s top stories . Now let ’ s go to John for the weather . John , what does the forecast look like for our weekend travelers ? +I ’ m afraid we ’ re in for a rough weekend , Mary . There is a storm system moving through the East Coast . It will be drizzling all day today , and there ’ s a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms this eve +That ’ s pretty chilly for the summer ! Will it rain on Saturday ? +Unfortunately , yes . It will be clear early Saturday morning but there is a high chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the day . There is a severe thunderstorm warning for some parts of the Sout +That certainly sounds like a dreary Saturday . +It gets better on Sunday , though . The storm systems move east and the skies will clear up at night . It will still be rather cool , with highs in the low 50s . The West Coast will be experiencing some +May I know how old you are ? +I am 24 . +What is your date of birth ? +I was born on April 15 , 1986 . +What was the last movie you saw ? +A Korean film called Friends , starring Sang Dong-gun . +Really ? I've seen that movie , too . +How did you like the movie ? +I thought it was pretty good . +Really ? I can't say I agree . +You're kidding . The story and acting were outstanding . +I guess I expected too much from the movie , so I was a bit disappointed . +I guess it could happen . +Now the coals are just right . I can start grilling . +Here you go . I made up the burger patties for you . +Thanks . Smell the hickory chips ? They give the meat a nice , smoky flavor . +I'll take over for a while to give you a break . +Sorry . This is a one-man job . I've got the grill just how I like it , and I've made up my own special sauce . +Then I'll tell folks the food's ready . Come and get it ! I've always wanted to say that ! +Jimmy , I ’ d like to wear this robe for tonight cocktail party . What do you think of it ? +Don ’ t dress like that . You ’ ll make fool yourself . You look stupid in that robe . +What ? But it is my favorite piece of clothing . +Maybe it is . But it ’ s out of fashion . +What am I going to do ? +Let ’ s go downtown and pick up some fashionable clothes for you . +Would you mind if I make a suggestion ? +Of course not , go ahead . +Maybe you should try to quit smoking . You know it is very bad for your health . +Well , sure it is . Actually , I have been cutting down the amount since two months ago . I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes for a single day . Now I limit it to 6 cigarettes a day . +You have made a big progress . Quitting smoking is not an easy job . But it will be rewarding in the long run . +Thank you for your suggestion . +You ’ re welcome . +What's your favorite sport ? +Swimming . What about you ? +Indoors activities , such as chess and gymnastics . +The Blacks got divorced . +Really ? Why ? +Mr . Black has been getting a little on the side . +Really ? I am surprised . He doesn't look like a guy who'd ever cheat on his wife , does he ? +No , he doesn't . Anyway , his wife found out that he has been two-timing for a long time . +Well , I am really surprised . By the way , have you done anything behind my back ? +No . The only thing I've ever done behind your back is zipping you up . +I like that joke , but I hope it's true . +You are freaking me out . +You don ’ t like the dog ? I promise I will never bring it with me ! +I heard that janet has got a new job . She ’ s working for the united investment group . I hear that they pay very well . +I heard that too . She must be making a pocket . Well , good for her . +now , she ’ ll be able to save up for that holiday in the united states . +yes , she will . At the moment , the exchange rate is very favorable , so she should try to go as soon as possible , while it ’ s cheaper . +you ’ re right . By the way , did you hear that tom inherited some money recently ? +really ? I thought his parents had died several years ago . +they did . He inherited the money form an uncle . I hope he doesn ’ t lose a lot of it in taxed to the government . +dying can be very expensive nowadays ! What ’ s he going to do with it ? +he said that he would probably invest most of it . He ’ s got a well-paid job , so he doesn ’ t need the money to cover day-to day expenses . He just wants some extra money available for when he retires . +I had some good financial news yesterday too . +really ? Have you won a fortune in the lottery ? +no , but I got a pay rise of 5 % and a hours for all the hard work I ’ Ve put in recently . I think it was very nice for my boss to show his appreciation in that way . +It certainly was ! So , what are you going to do with your windfall ? +You haven't spent much time with Sophia lately . Are you speaking to each other at the moment ? +No , we're not . We've been drifting apart for a while . +But you two used to do everything together . I thought you really enjoyed each other's company . +We did , but since she started her new job , all she does is hang out with her new friends from work . +Can't you hang out with them , too ? +I could , but all they ever talk about is work , so I always end up feeling left out . +Maybe you should invite her over for dinner , so it's just the two of you . +I tried that a few weeks ago and she ended bringing a pal from work with her ! She's so busy these days that it's just impossible to hang out with her . +It can't be that bad . She was always a really good friend to you . +You're right . She would never talk about me behind my back or hold a grudge . But she just doesn't seem very interested in our friendship anymore . +She's probably just excited about her new job . You should give her some time . It would be a shame to lose such a good friend . +I've given her enough time . I'm over it now . +I still think you two should try to patch things up . +I think I just have to accept the fact that it's time for us to go our separate ways . +Do you love me ? +I ’ m very fond of you . +Yes , but do you love me ? +Why ? You mean a lot to me . +Why didn ’ t you answer my question ? +What question ? +Do you love me ? come on , I ’ m eager to hear . +You know that I care for you . I .. I ’ m proud of you . +Don ’ t cherish your words , dear . +I .. I don ’ t feel like saying it . +Thanks for inviting me . And happy birthday , Julia . +Many thanks for your present . I'm so glad you are able to come . +How may I help you today ? +I need to make some copies . +The copier is right over there . +Does it cost to use it ? +We do charge to use the machine . +How much does it cost ? +We charge ten cents a copy . +How many copies am I allowed to make ? +There is no limit to how many copies you can make . +Would you mind showing me how to use it ? +Please read the instructions on the copier . +Oh , okay . Thanks . +Hello , Mary . What ’ s the matter with you ? You look upset . +My friend and I was argued with each other . For this , I ’ m very sad . Because I don ’ t want to lose this friend . +Oh , I ’ m sorry to hear that . I know how you feel . Please don ’ t be sad . +Thank you , but I really want to relax myself . I ’ m very sorry . +OK . Don ’ t let it get to you . Goodbye . +Hi , I haven't seen you in a while . +Yes , it has been a long time ! +How long has it been since we last saw each other ? +I think that we last saw each other two years ago . +What have you been doing for the past two years ? +I have been going to graduate school at USC . +What are you majoring in ? +I am studying international communications . +You should easily be able to find a job with that major . +I am counting on being able to get a good job . +Here you are at last ! You're half an hour late , you know . +I'm awfully sorry to have kept you waiting for so long . +What happened ? +My watch stopped and I didn't know . I certainly need to buy a better one . +I'm sorry for spilling my drink on your rug . +There's no need to apologize . +But I ruined your rug . +Forget it . It was an accident . +Hey ! How was your first day of class ? I ’ m in level two and I ’ m loving my class this semester ! It ’ s great being in a class of international students ! +Mine was ok , except that no one in my class speaks English . I guess it will force me to converse in Chinese more in class so at least I should improve a lot this semester . +That ’ s both fortunate and unfortunate . It ’ s the United Nations in my class ! We have people from all over the world ! There are three Germans , a Pole , a Scottish , two French , an American , a Brazilian , a Chilean , a New Zealander , though he prefers to call himself a Kiwi . Who else do we have ? Oh , we also have a Moroccan , a Togolese , a Pakistani , and two Indonesians ! +That ’ s quite the array of nationalities . Everyone in my class is from Asia , except me . There are a few South Koreans , several Japanese , Malaysian , Thai , Singaporean , Filipino , Kazakhstan , and one Russian . +Well , I think you ’ re pretty lucky actually . You ’ ll have the opportunity to learn so much about Asian culture . +I guess so , but I think it ’ s going to be hard to relate to my classmates , especially with the language barrier . I think I might change classes . +Don ’ t ! Stay the course ! Your spoken Chinese will be eternally grateful . I bet you it will even surpass mine with all that practice . +I highly doubt it . Your girlfriend is Chinese . +Well , there is that , yes . +Currently we are looking for business opportunities in northeast China . +What kind of business do you do ? +We send analysts to companies that run into financial difficulties . +What kind of clients do you prefer ? +Smaller local companies . We specialize in trade & shipping industry . +I used to work for a shipping company for six years , and I am quite familiar with some managers . Would your like to meet them ? +Bob ! +Anne ! I haven't seen you for ages . How've you been ? +Fine , just fine . And you ? +Not bad . It really is great to see you again . W here have you been ? +Guangzhou . I've got a cousin there . +I didn't like my brother's batting around without doing anything useful . +Maybe he is trying to find a job . When he finds one , everything will be settled . +I hope so . +May I have your attention please ? +Would you please be quiet , Ladies and Gentlemen ? +Well , my speech isn't very long . Would you please ... +Quiet everybody ! +Excuse me , are you Miss Green ? +Yes . May I help you ? +May I introduce myself ? +Yes . +I ’ m a new student in the school . My name ’ s John . +Nice to meet you , John . +It ’ s a pleasure to meet you , Miss Green . +So , have you seen all three The Lord of the Rings movies ? +Yes , but I didn't really like the third one at all . +That's the Return of the King , right ? +Yeah . Even though the customs were brilliant , I didn't think it was as good as the first two . What did you think ? +I thought the special effects were amazing , but I got a bit confused . The plot was too complicated for me . +Did you read the books before you watched the movies ? +No . did you ? +Yes , I've read them many times . I think it's much easier to follow for people who were already familiar with all the characters . +Yes , trying to keep track of all the characters was quite confusing for me . +I also think that it was much better in the theatre than at home . +Most movies are . Another problem for me was the film was dubbed in German with English subtitles . +That happens a lot in non-English speaking countries . +I heard that The Return of the King was nominated for 11 Oscars . +Actually , they not only had 11 nominations , but they won 11 Oscars , too ! +Jill , how do you like your new job ? +I like it . But how did you know about my new job ? I wanted to surprise you . +I just heard through the grapevine something about you landing a job with some travel agency down town . You can still fill me in on tile details . +Well , two weeks ago I got a tip about a possible job opening at Ace Travel Agency over on Franklin Avenue . +Sure , I think I know the place . +Well , anyway , I made a beeline over to their office , had an interview with the manager , and was told to start work the next day . +That ’ s really great , jill . So , what do you do there exactly ? +Right now I ’ m basically just a secretary , but if I ’ m given the chance , I want to become a travel agent there . +Don ’ t tell me your ’ re already bucking for a promotion . +No , of course not . I ’ Ve got a lot to learn yet . In the meantime , I just want to be a good secretary and not step on anyone ’ s toes . +Well I wish you luck . +Hey , Jack , where's your car ? +I got rid of that clunker . This is my new one . +Is that right ? This sure beats the old one ? +Hop in , I'll give you a ride . +Ok . Boy , this looks expensive . +Yeah , it costed a bundle , alright ? +Wow , this thing can haul . +Yeah , this sucker is the fastest thing I've ever owned . +I believe it . Hoo , this car corners like it's on rails . +We are on the high way . Find the pound shade .. +Wow , this car can really burn rubber . +It's a great feeling . +You made a perfect choice , Jack . +Thanks , Daisy . +Woo hoo ! This just might be the start of the rest of my life ! +What happened ? +I ’ m in the market for a job ! I went on a website with hundreds of job listings in the area and browsed through them until I got the names of a few employers I would like to work for . I have the resume I wrote for English class last month and a cover letter will be a piece of cake to write . I ’ Ve even done my research and found the names of the managers so I can address the letters personally . And you know I can be charming in interviews . Goodbye my penniless days ! Hello salary and a career ! +Ben , we ’ re fifteen . What kind of job are you looking for ? +Oh , just for a position as a gas station attendant . You know , starting at a simple lowly job , just like all the greats before they made it big in the world . +Uh-huh . +But I ’ m just in it for the money , right ? How else am I going to be able to afford to keep taking Angela to the movies ? Besides , I love the smell of gasoline , don ’ t you ? +Hello , Ellen . +Hello , Helen , have you heard the news ? There ’ s been a horrible accident . +Oh , no ! What happened ? +Hilda Harris husband , Henry had an accident on his way home from work . +How awful ! Was he hurt ? +Yes . He was taken to the hospital in an ambulance . +How did it happen ? +His car was hit by an express train . It happened at the crossing just behind his house . +How horrible ! +He ’ s having an operation in the hospital now . Poor Hilda ! You can imagine how unhappy she is . +I hope he ’ ll be all right . +I hope so , too . +My son has really taken it out of me . He never keeps out of mischief . +After all , he is a baby . +Yeah . Anyway he is driving me mad . +Alright , we need to have a plan here . First of all , which bed do you want ? +Well , everybody wants the bottom bunk . Why don't we flip a coin for it ? +Alright . Do you have a coin ? +Yes . Here's a quarter . I flip it , you call it in the air . +Heads . +Sorry , it's tails . You lose . +Oh , well . So you get the bottom bunk . What about our stereos ? It looks like we both brought our stereos . Probably we only have room for one . +Your stereo is better than mine . Do you mind if we use yours ? +No , I don't mind . I just don't know where we can put the speakers in this tiny room . +Probably we can put one on that counter . And we can put one on the floor by the bed . Over there . +Alright . That's a good plan . What about the desks ? We have two desks , one by the window and one by the door ? Which one do you want ? +Well , the desk by the window is nicer , of course . Don't you think ? +Yes , I agree . +So since I got the bottom bunk , why don't you get the desk by the window ? That would be more fair . +Alright . +I mean , we could flip a coin for it , but I would probably win again . I'm incredibly lucky you know . Especially with girls . +Is that right ? +Yes , that's right . +Well , I hope you let me hang out with you then . Maybe I can learn from you . +Oh , certainly . Certainly . I'm always willing to help beginners.Just call me Big Brother Dave . +Are all lucky people so stuck up ? +C'mon , don't take it seriously ! I'm just kidding . +Anyway , I get the desk by the window , you get the bottom bunk . That's it . +Why don't we start unpacking these boxes ? +I will go get something to eat . You unpack first.Then , when I come back , I'll unpack . +Alright . See you later . +let's go swimming . +But , we just finished eating lunch . +I know , but I'm really hot . +I'd strongly recommend that you wait for a while before going swimming . +Why are you so late ? +I've been through a lot today . I forgot to set my alarm clock last night , so I woke up late this morning . And what is worse , I missed the school bus . +That's enough . Sit down . +I think we should accept his plan . +I'm afraid I can't agree with you . +Why ? +Simply because it's not practical at all . +Not a single email until now ? it's already twelve o'clock . I can't believe it ! +Can't bear it , right ? I've been there before . I'll feel uncomfortable if no one calls me or sends me text messages , like there is something missing . +Yeah , that's right . If no one sends me text messages , I'll go crazy . +Actually , this is a kind of addiction called ' infomania ' or ' information overload ' . +Addiction ? checking emails and text messages often can be called an addiction ? no way ! +Yes , it is . Do you consider a frequent check of your in-coming emails to be an integral part of your working day ? +Absolutely . +Do you have your cell phone with you wherever you go and check text messages and phone calls from time to time ? +Yeah , it's a must . Otherwise , I may miss important phone calls and text messages . +Do you open all your IM tools whenever you're using a computer ? +Yes . MSN , QQ , Skype , Google Talk , Ali wangwang , everything , so that I'll be in touch with all friends and relatives . +Now I can tell you're definitely addicted to the overflow of information +Do you like chocolates ? +It depends . +Do you like coffee ? +Um . It ’ s delicious . +And do you like English food ? +Not all of it . +It's getting late . +Yeah , I'd better head for home . +There must be something weighing on your mind . What is it ? +Dad , I lost mum's necklace . I'm afraid she will scold me . +Don ’ t worry . I'll buy a new necklace as same as the old one . +It is so kind of you , Dad . +Could you tell me the time ? +Pardon ? +What time is it , please ? +It's 9:30 . +Wow , that terrible movie is finally over . Next time I ’ m picking the film , because I don ’ t want to end up seeing a chick flick . +Well you should have picked , in the end you always complain about everything . +Not everything , just this film . Even the title is ridiculous , and it ’ s so long , those are the two and a half most wasted hours of my life , so much so that I ’ m thinking about asking them to give me my money back . +I ’ m thinking of taking you back home . I thought we could have a nice evening , but you ’ re always so negative . +I ’ m only complaining about a movie that I could have rented or bought and then thrown in the garbage . +You see , that ’ s what I ’ m talking about , I can ’ t stand your sarcastic jokes anymore . +Next time , go with your gay friend who is more in touch with his feelings . +Well he ’ s more of a man than you are ; at least he appreciates love stories . +Love stories ? More like one-night-stands . +Don ’ t criticize Mario or else I ’ ll start on those fat , drunk friends of yours , they ’ re no saints . +My friends ? Fat ? What about those whales you call friends ? +You ’ re unbearable , you can walk home , I ’ m leaving . +How about going swimming ? +Ok . Where should we go ? +Why don ’ t we down to the pool ? It ’ s not too far from here . +Fine . I ’ ll be ready in a minute . +I want to go to china for sight-seeing.What do you think of it , Mum ? +Why not ? China is a wonderful country . +Will you go with me , too ? +No , I'm afraid not now . I'm too busy . +Mr . : Are you Mary Lin ? +Yes . +Mr . : I'm Mr . Rogers , your homeroom teacher . +Where should I sit ? +Mr . : Why don't you sit behind Brad ? +Who's Brad ? +Mr . : He's that guy in the blue shirt . +When does the first period begin , by the way ? +Mr . : As soon as the bell rings after the morning announcement . +Welcome to our university ’ s fifties anniversary , Sir . Please have a seat . +Thank you . Wow , your school has so many honors . Congratulations ! +Thank you . +Excuse me . I wonder see Dean Mr . Lee first . I was wondering if could you tell me where his office is ? +Certainly . Mr . Lee ’ s office building at the south end of the campus , just beside the library . +Excuse me ? +Let me show you the way . Please follow me . +Thank you very much . It ’ s very kind of you . +My pleasure . +This is it ? +It ’ s up on the second floor . You have to use the stairs . The elevator isn ’ t working . +Excuse me , miss . I'm Bob . +I'm Amy . How do you do ? +I'm very glad to meet you . May I have this dance with you ? +Certainly ! I suppose you dance often . +No , I don't often dance . Isn't this a wonderful party ? +Yes , I'm glad I have come . +How do you like fox-trot ? +I like it very much . +You dance beautifully . +Thank you . It's lucky that I have got a good partner . +Thank you . +I ’ m going to the beauty parlor . Do you want to come too ? +Sure . Let ’ s go . What are you going to have done ? +I want to have a foot massage and haircut . +A foot massage sounds like a great idea . They are very relaxing . I ’ d also like to have a mudpack on my face . It ’ s supposed to help with your complexion . +Good idea . We should also pedicures and manicures . +This could become a very expensive trip to be beauty parlour ! +I think it ’ s a good idea to pamper yourself occasionally . Don ’ t you agree ? +Oh , I agree . We both work hard and a little beauty treatment can relieve stress . +Maybe we should try a thai massage too . +What ’ s special about a thai massage ? +That ’ s when the masseuse walk on your back and massage you with her feet . +Sounds painful ! +I just love your hair that way . +Thanks . +Where did you have it done ? +My sister did it . When did you get yours cut ? +Just yesterday . I'm still getting used to it . +Well , it looks very nice . +Thanks . +What's the matter ? +I'm feeling a little under the weather . +Is Jack still staying idle everyday ? +No , he has mended his way . After his father died , he set his hand to the job of putting his business affairs in order . +Really ? He is so competent now . +You can ’ t imagine what he is like now . +Sandra is actually a blue chipper . I don't think she could realize that she has married a fool for women . +That's fate . +I feel sorry for her . +Maybe this is God's will . +Paul , what kind of music do you like to listen to ? +All kinds , but mostly Pop , rock and classical . Why ? +I have tickets to a show . Do you want to go with me ? +What kind of music is it ? +Pop . It's Maria Carey . +When is it ? +At 8P M tomorrow night . +Yeah , I'd like to go . Do you think we should have dinner first ? +Yes , that's a good idea . +Let's eat at the restaurant across the street from my apartment . +Oh , I think I know the place you mean . We ate there last month , right ? +Yes , that's right . You have a good memory . +Hello , ladies . I'm firing up the grill . We can eat in an hour or so . +Chips , finger foods , desserts , baked beans . Where're the pork and beef strips ? +Yi-jun , we're in the States . Here it's all burgers , steaks , and dogs . +Ah ... hence the buns and condiments we bought . And this is Holly's potato salad . +You can put stuff on the picnic table . Back to work . The grill is calling me ... +Let me know if I can help . +Is Water Shrinking Festival official ? +No , most of the traditional festivals of the minority nationalities are not official . +Don't you think these festivals are more interesting ! +What an idea ! +Hey man , what do you have on tap ? +Heineken and Budweiser . We have a two-for-one happy hour special . +Cool , give me a pint of Heineken and half a pint of Bud . +Okay ... A pint of Heineken and and half a pint of bud for table six ! And what about some appetizers ? +Sure ! Let ’ s have some nachos and mozzarella sticks . +Okay . That ’ ll be 80 bucks . +Wait ... What ! +So you are green with envy at your neighbor ? +Well , he ’ s really lucky . It seems that he could win the bet at every turn . +But I don ’ t envy those who are filthy with dough . That ’ s not the whole life . +I know what you mean . I ’ m not only after bucks . There ’ s something more in life . +Now that it ’ s the new year , I ’ Ve decided to turn over a new leaf . +Yeah ? You finally decided to wipe the slate clean ? +You got it ! I have a new job , I ’ m living in a new city , with new friends ! This is my opportunity to make some small changes in the way I live my life . +So what are you going to do ? Take up an art class or something ? +Well , first of all , I ’ Ve decided to stop smoking . It ’ s not that I ’ m pinching pennies or anything , it ’ s just that I ’ Ve been smoking since I was sixteen , and I think it ’ s time to stop . +I ’ m with you on that one . Anything else you ’ re planning on doing ? +One last thing , I ’ Ve decided to come out of the closet . +It ’ s about time ! +Are you doing something on Saturday evening ? If not , welcome to my new apartment . +You moved to a new place ? +Yes , I have been busy emptying the packing boxes and cleaning up the mats . Right now , it looks like a home . I would like to have a small celebration party . Please do come . +Thank you for inviting me . Sounds lovely ! I would like to come . Where is your new apartment ? +It is in the DX community , Room 306 , No . 2 building . It is very easy to find . Just ask the guard at the entrance . +Who else will come ? +I invited all the colleagues in our department and also my former neighbor , Paul . He is a very good person . You should meet him . +Ok , I will be there around 6 . Is that ok for you ? +Yes , great . I am happy you are coming . +Did you remember to bring back that software I lent to you ? +Oh , I ’ m sorry . It completely slipped my mind . +That ’ s ok . If you could just bring it in tomorrow , I would appreciate it . +Definitely , I ’ m really sorry . +I wouldn't dare go bungee jumping . +Chicken ! +Hello , could you arrange a dinner for us ? +Sure , what time ? +Eight o'clock tomorrow evening . +For how many people ? +Ten . +Western food or Chinese food ? +Chinese food . +Do you want an expensive meal ? +No , not too lavish . +How much would you like to spend for each person ? +What is the usual thing here ? +Forty to eighty RIB Yuan a plate . +Let's say sixty Yuan then . +OK . Is there anything special you'd like to have on the menu ? +We'd like to have typical Chinese food . +Anything you'd rather not have ? +No snakes , please . +How about drinks ? +Mao Tai and Qingdao Beer . +Well . Dinner for ten at sixty Yuan a plate , drink's extra , at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening . Is that all right ? +Right , thanks . +My pleasure , see you tomorrow evening . +See you then . +You're going to abandon me , just like that ? +I'm sorry , but I've got an important job to do . +Why are you so crazy about bird-watching ? What do you get out of it ? +Looking at the beautiful creatures and listening to their songs are such wonderful experiences . I feel as if I'm in direct contact with nature . +Really ? +You bet . You should try it yourself . +How was your vacation in Paris ? +It was exciting ! +When in Rome , do as the Romans do , they say . +What do you mean ? +Roman is living in Rome , of course . And go to work by car , or bus , or on foot . +I think the Romans do what everyone else does . +Certainly . +And Roman really loves life . He knows how to enjoy himself . +Not always . But they like good meal . +Really ? +How can I go there to have a taste ? +By air of course . +Hey , Joshua ! Is Anny coming with us ? +Yes , why ? +Nothing . I'm just asking . +Just asking ? But why is your face burning like mad ? Aha , someone has a crush on Anny , doesn't he ? +Who has a crush ? +Come on , Josh , don't be such a chicken . If you like her , you've got to tell her . Maybe she likes you . +I'd totally die if she turned me down . +You've got to let her know . Come on ! You've got to take a chance ! +What's that book you have under your arm ? +It's the best seller everyone's been talking about for the last six months . +How in the world did you get a copy ? I've put a hold on it at the public library for weeks and I'm still waiting my turn . +I checked it out of the rental library . It only costs five cents a day . +Is it really worth paying for ? +I can't tell yet . I haven't got beyond the first chapter . +If it's any good , I'll buy a copy when it comes out in the pocket edition . +Do you know anyone who ’ s had plastic surgery ? +You mean like a breast enlargement ? I don't think that's really necessary . That's not the way a woman should stay attractive . +Why not ? Why can't we go back to the way things were ? +Because ... I don't know . But , Connie , you wouldn't do that , would you ? +Darned right I would ! +Maybe make-up would be enough ? +Come on , Liz . Be open-minded ! Look at my eyes , they are puffy . And my eye bags , they are dark and loose and full of lines and circles . I really hope surgery can wipe out the tired feelings . +But what would other people think ? +I don't care what other people think . I am ready for a lift . +I heard Rose is pregnant . I hope it'll be a boy this time . +I hope so , too.Rose and her husband have been wanting a boy so much . +After three baby girls in a row , Rose is under a lot of pressure from her in-laws.They want a boy in the worst way now . +But baby girls are just as good and just as fun as baby boys . +I agree with you , but you know how old-fashioned the elders are . +I have two finals this week and one oral presentation and I'm not ready for any of them ! +Sounds like you will be doing some serious cramming till Friday ! +I hate this part of school . +Why did you put it off until the last minute ? +I didn't mean to . Things just kept taking up all of my time . +Maybe you got your plate too full this semester ? You can change that next semester . +I think I'd better . I have twenty four credits this time around . That might be a bit much . +I'll say . The regular eighteen is just about all I can handle myself . +I went bungee jumping yesterday . It was so exciting . +Do you really enjoy such dangerous sports ? +Yes , They are great fun and very challenging , too . Some day I'll want to try deep-sea diving and rock-climbing , too . +You are a real fan of extreme sports . +Yes . I love facing danger and overcoming it . It has become part of my life . +Honey , would you marry me ? +I want to think about it for some time . +Please , honey , I have made proposals to you fifteen times . +I know . But your way doesn't touch my heart . +Oh , god , please tell me how . +I can't tell you . +OK , I want you to be happy when we are together , and when you are sad , I would always stay with you . +When I am angry and want to beat someone , you stand there and let me do what I want . Would you ? +Yes , I would . Thanks for being in my life . +Don't be so happy , it is just one of my tests ! +My old man always harps on me . +So does my father . I'm already used to it . +But I can't bear it , John . +How dare you say that ? What they do is just for our good . +Yeah , but he really puts blame on me . +What are you doing tomorrow ? +Nothing really . +Let's watch a movie or something . +What's on these days ? +I think they're playing Lord of the Rings +That sounds pretty good . Let's watch that . +Where should we meet ? +How about at the subway entrance . +Aright . I'll meet you there at one o'clock . +Jenny , I want to go on a picnic . Could you come too ? +I'd be glad to . I love picnicking . +Then , put on your casual clothes and pack some food and beverages . +Can I bring my camera with me ? +Sure . Bring enough films , please . +I sure will . +Ok ... I ’ ll talk to you later . Bye +Carrie , are you ok ? You seem a bit down . +I just got off the phone with my boyfriend . He is always getting upset and losing his temper over nothing . It ’ s so hard to talk to him at times . +Maybe it ’ s just that he is stressed out from work or something . He does have a pretty nerve wracking job you know . +Yeah but , he is always in a really foul mood . I try to find out what ’ s bothering him or get him to talk about his day but , he always shuts down and brushes me off . +Men are like that you know.They can feel nervous , anxious or on edge and the only way they can express it is by trying to hide it through aggressiveness . +I guess you are right . What do you think I should do ? He wasn ’ t always this grouchy you know ... +Talk to him , try to cheer him up when he is down and if that doesn ’ t work , I say get rid of him and get a new one ! +You are something else you know that ? +Is it going to rain today ? +It's supposed to rain . +I really hate this weather . +Well , it won't last long . +Would you like something to eat ? +Thank you . No . I ’ m late for dinner at my house . I really have to go . +Would you like to call home ? +I ’ d appreciate that . +Please use the phone . +Thanks . +You didn't come to work yesterday.What happened ? +I had to look after my son at home . +What's wrong with him ? +He has a fever . +Is he getting better now ? +I think so.Thank you . +How are you doing , Christopher ? +To be honest , I'm really fed up with work at the moment . I need a break ! +Are you doing anything this weekend ? +I have to work on Saturday all day ! I really hate my job ! +Are you available on Sunday ? +Yes , that's my only day off until Thursday . +Ok , well , my friends and I are planning on going to the beach on Sunday . We tend to leave around noon whenever we go anywhere , so you could still sleep in . Do you want to come with us ? +That'd be fantastic ! Which beach are you going to ? +It's a quiet beach just about an hour outside of the city . +What should I bring with me ? +We've got plenty of inflatables , but if you want to sit on a chair , you'll have to bring your own sunlounger . +I can just use my beach towel . I love lazing around in the sun . +Do you like surfing ? +I've actually never tried . Do you have a surfboard ? +We've got a few . I can teach you how to surf on Sunday . It'll be fun ! +I can't wait ! It sounds like we're going to have a great time . How much money should I bring ? +You'll just need roughly $ 10 for food and gas money . My friend is driving , so we usually all chip in a few dollars for gas money . +Ok , where and when should I meet you ? +We'll pick you up at your place at noon . Be there or be square ! +Are you sure this is the right restaurant 。 +Positive 。 +You don't think you could be wrong ? +I'am absolutely sure I'm right . +I don't know . It looks a little wrong down . +This is right . There is no doubt in my mind . +You're hundred percent sure you want to eat here ? +Check and double check . +Could you help me prepare for my presentation on Friday ? +I would love to help you prepare for your presentation . +I hate to ask you to do something like that . +This will not interfere with my work . I promise you that . +When could we get together ? +I could easily give you some time tomorrow night . +Would you like to meet me at the coffee house next door ? +Yes , and could you write down anything you might be having trouble with ? +I'll come prepared . +Goodbye until then . I promise you that you'll do well after we meet . +But his wife has wide relations . You may ask her for advice . +Stop talking about her . She gives me goose bumps . I never wish to be in her sight . +She is pretty . Many men praise her highly . +Many people , many tastes . She looks pretty , but the way she speaks gives you goose bumps . I feel sick of it . +I heard you were teaching English over there.Tell me about it . Did you like it ? +Oh , yes , it was very interesting . +What were the schools like ? +Oh , I didn't actually teach in the schools . I taught after school . I taught in English institutes . +But you taught children , yes ? +Yes . That's right.But children in Taiwan are very different from children in America.At least as far as studying is concerned.Many children in Taiwan go to special institutes after school . +They actually study after school ? +That's right.After their school day is over , they go to a special institute to study math or English.They are very serious about learning over there . +Hmm . That sounds pretty oppressive for the kids . Don't they ever relax ? +Of course they do.You know , Eliza , before I went over there I thought the same thing . I thought that maybe kids in Taiwan study too much.But now that I've worked there , and taught them , I feel it is a good thing.Their parents are very concerned about their education . More than American parents are . And that is good . American kids don't study enough . +Asian cultures value learning very much . I know that . +So it was interesting for me to see parents very concerned about education.They would come to me after the class and ask how their son or daughter was doing . I don't think that's a bad thing . I think it's a good thing.In America , too many parents don't pay attention . +But aren't the kids tired out ? I mean , they go to school all day , and then they go to school in the evening too . +As an English teacher , I tried to make the lessons as fun as possible . I tried to have a good time with my classes . The students often enjoyed it.And if the students enjoyed it , they learned more . So it was a good experience . +Are the kids in Taiwan very obedient ? +That's a stereotype we Americans have.We think that Asian kids are very obedient and quiet.But it's not true . There are plenty of naughty kids too . +Hmm . I know you taught in Costa Rica also.Which did you like better--Costa Rica or Taiwan ? +I don't know . In Costa Rica , I taught adults.So it was a very different thing . So I really can't compare . +the dinner was really good . It knocked my socks off . +that's very kind of you to say so . Let's try some after-dinner wines . +great . Sweet wines are my favorite . They always make a great finish to a decisions meal . +do you prefer brandy or ports . +port , please . +excellent choice . I love its smooth flavor . +the port is exquisite . It must have spent years aging in barrels . Am I right ? +yes . You always have a good nose for wines . +next time we are about to dinner we should try some Canadian ice wine . +oh , what's that ? +it's made from naturally frozen grapes . +why not ? It sounds great . +oh , here's to your health . +thanks . Cheers . +cheers . +Hey Mike . What are you doing tonight ? +Nothing planned . How about you ? +Work is kicking my ass . I'm so stressed . Let's go grab a drink . +I'm always up for a drink . To tell you the truth , it's been quite stressful here too . +I say we get drunk tonight . I don't want to think about all this stuff . +But we have to work tomorrow . +We won't stay out too late . I just need to forget about work . +I hear ya . Let's do it . +My wife and I didn't used to spend this much money . +What's changed ? +My wife has been pregnant for 7 months . +I see . I guess diapers and baby food are expensive.Bringing up children is not easy . +My wife will be going back to work soon . +You should have more money then . +Yes.We will need milk powder and bassinet . +We came too early . There're still three hours before the performance starts . +I know . Sorry , I shouldn't have rushed you , but I just couldn't stay at home and wait . +Never mind . What about taking a look around the theater ? +Why not ? I'd love to do that . +Here we go . There is a museum of the Beijing Opera art . ( They come to the museum of the Beijing Opera art . ) +Wow . Look at this . So delicate and beautiful . Did ancient Chinese people really wear them ? +Not really . They are just opera costumes . Do you like the embroidery ? +I surely do . They must have had advanced machines in ancient China to do that . +No , no , no . They are all handmade , girl . You know , the ancient Chinese women were supposed to be good at needlework . +Unbelievable ! I could never do that . +Very few can . That's why these clothes only appear in the museum . +Listen ! Some people are singing outside . Is it the opera ? +Oh , yes . I heard there was an opera fans club . They are probably practicing now . Wanna have a look ? +Yes , let's do it . +Follow me . Make sure not to interrupt them . +Of course not . We don't do that . +I'm worried sick that she might leave me one day . +I'll teach you how to keep her . +Tell me , please . +After you've solved this problem for me . +Anna , that outfit looks wonderful on you ! The color goes with your trousers perfectly . +Thanks , Carla . That's quite a compliment coming from you . You always dress so tastefully . +Well , that dress certainly shows your good taste . It must have cost a lot . +No , not much . I got it on sale at the mall - 60 % off . +Really ? You're an amazing bargain hunter ! Next time there's a sale , promise you'll let me tag along with you . +It's a promise . +Well , how did you enjoy your seaside trip ? +It was fun , I tell you . +Tell me about it , will you ? +Well , we drove through the valley on our way there in the morning . It was a magnificent sight ! +Did you stop at the Fall for some pictures ? +Sure , we wouldn't miss that for anything . After that , we took a short cut to the park . There was very little traffic , so we got there in less than an hour . +You were lucky then . +Yeah , we spent the whole morning under the tall trees . We had our picnic there , too . +What did you do after that ? +We went for a swim in the sea . That was the biggest part of the day . Just look at my nice tan ! +So you must have had a busy and enjoyable day yesterday . +Yes , you are right . And I was so tired out that I fell asleep on the way back . My muscles are still stiff from the swim yesterday . +Where can I buy textbooks ? +First , you need to have the list of books for your class . Do you have that ? +Yes , I have that . +Well , when you have that , you can take it over to the bookstore . Can you find it ? +No , I don't know where the bookstore is . +Just pass the gym and it's the first door on your left . Were you aware that you can also turn in your old textbooks for money ? +Really ? How can I do that ? +Take your used textbooks with you and give them to the representative near the entrance . He will pay you for them . Are you going today ? +No , I can't make it today . +I could help you with buying your books if you meet me there at 1 +No , thanks . I'm good . +I'll see you later then . Have a great day ! +I don't like the merry-go-round . +But , I want to ride it , Daddy . +Ok , I guess it's worthy of two yuan . +Great . Let's go . +Hey Lydia , what are you reading ? +I ’ m looking at my horoscope for this month ! My outlook is very positive . It says that I should take a vacation to someplace exotic , and that I will have a passionate summer fling ! +What are you talking about ? Let me see that ... What are horoscopes ? +It ’ s a prediction of your month , based on your zodiac sign . You have a different sign for the month and date you were born in . I was born on April 15th , so I ’ m an Aries . When were you born ? +January 5th . +Let ’ s see . . . you ’ re a Capricorn . It says that you will be feeling stress at work , but you could see new , exciting developments in your love life . Looks like we ’ ll both have interesting summers ! +That ’ s bogus . I don ’ t feel any stress at work , and my love life is practically nonexistent . This zodiac stuff is all a bunch of nonsense . +No , it ’ s not , your astrology sign can tell you a lot about your personality . See ? It says that an Aries is energetic and loves to socialize . +Well , you certainly match those criteria , but they ’ re so broad they could apply to anyone . What does it say about me ? +A Capricorn is serious-minded and practical . She likes to do things in conventional ways . That sounds just like you ! +Oh , my god . How can you stand living in such a messy dorm ? +Our place is spotlessly clean , compared with others . +Have you even tried to clean it once since you moved in at the beginning of the semester ? +In fact , I just swept the floor three days ago . +I think we need to restart the dormitory sanitation inspection system . +I bet nobody will care about it . +Then I'll take them . How much ? +$ 120.The small gift box is complementary . +Here is $ 150.Keep the change . +Thank you ! Have a nice day ! +You too.Bye . +You shouldn't have told her the truth.What can we do now ? +I'm sorry , It's all my fault . +You are always like this . I've told you many times not to tell her . +Sorry , I had no intention . +It's too late to say sorry now.Oh , what am I going to do ? +I know I was an idiot , But if there is anything I can do to make up , Please do tell me . +Are you alright , Ethan ? You don't seem to be as cheerful as you normally are . +To be honest , Ava , I've just had a really bad day . +What happened ? +First , I slept through my alarm and ended up two hours late to work . +What did your boss say ? +He told me that if I showed up late one more time , he'd fire me . He's so mean ! +That's horrible . Was that the first time you'd shown up late to work ? +That was my second time . The first time , I was in a car accident . +Is your boss Chinese ? +No , he's from Australia . Before I met him , I thought Australians were supposed to be relaxed and easy-going . I had no idea he'd be so fussy about things . +What are you going to do ? +I think I'm going to look for another job . I need to find a boss that is a bit more sensitive and optimistic than my current boss . +That sounds like a sensible plan . Do you want me to help you with your job search ? +That's very generous of you . Thanks for the offer . +Don't mention it . That's what friends are for ! +Victoria , you are back from vacation ! How was it ? +To tell the truth , I feel tired . +How come ? +I had to visit all my relatives . +Hello , Dora , I haven't seen you for a long time . Where have you been ? +I didn ’ t go anywhere . I stayed at home . +What's up ? You look unhappy . +Nothing . I just feel very lonely in this city . I miss my family . +Oh , I know . Sometimes I have the same feeling with you . But you'd better not be so emotional . +Can you stay and accompany me for a while ? +Sure , no problem . You can call me any time you are alone from now on . +Thank you so much . You are so sweet . +Not at all . We are friends . +So you said you and Amanda met through a mutual friend . How did it happen ? +Well , my roommate was friends with Amanda , so he introduced us . +Did he tell you what she was like first ? +Yes , he described her to me , and she sounded like my type . +Sorry , sir . I came late because I had to send for the doctor for my grandfather . +I do sympathize with you , I assure you . +Thank you , sir . +I hope your grandfather will recover soon . +I heard many stories about your brother . +He's a hero in our town . +What does he look like ? Is he handsome ? +Yes , indeed , People say he's the smartest young man . +I've never met anyone like Clyde before . +He's such a buppie-a black yuppie . Black people come in all shapes and sizes . Just check out the party . +Wow ! There are so many different people here . I expected mostly athletes and rappers . +You'll find some of those here , too . But not if you don't shake it up ! There's an African saying , “ If you can talk , you can sing ! If you can walk , you can dance ! ” +Then I'll just shut up and sit down ! +What book is that ? +I just bought a new atlas . I ’ m looking this map of the world . Look at Russia ! That ’ s a vast country . +Canada , china , and the use are huge too . +There are several tiny countries in the world too . Countries like Monaco are smaller than many cities . +Those small countries are microscopic compared to Russia . European countries are relatively small . France looks quite big in Europe , but compared to many countries in other continents , it ’ s not very l +Britain is half the size of france , but great Britain is still one of the largest islands in the world . +The thing with large countries is that often they have vast areas of land that are useless or hardly used . Russia and Canada have enormous areas of ice and forest . +It ’ s going to a volleyball match between the economic department and foreign language department this afternoon . Are any of you keen on volleyball ? +Sorry , I ’ m not a volleyball-fun . I ’ d rather play football . How about you , Mr . Wang . ? Are you interested in volleyball ? +I ’ m afraid not . My favorite is boots-running . I don ’ t care about games . +Tonight is a party night ! What drinks do you think we need ? +Well , not everyone wants to drink beer . Make sure there are some soft drinks and juice . Nothing's as refreshing as iced drinks on a hot day . +I don't think we need too much in the way of soft drinks , Two super bottles of Cola should cover everyone . What about wine ? +Just buy a cask of wine . Have you bought ice yet ? +No , once I fill the tub with beer , I'll get the ice . The beer will be cool if you put the tub under the ice . The cooler , the better . +I think a bottle of champagne would be a good idea . It's appetizing and tasty . +Well , if you say so . Personally speaking , I'd rather die of thirst than drink champagne . +Hi , John ! I haven ’ t seen you for ages . +Hi ! Yes , it ’ s been a long time . I ’ m really glad to see you . +I ’ m glad to see you , too . How ’ Ve you been ? +Just fine . How is everything with you ? +Not bad . I finally bought a house . It ’ s an old one , but built really solid . It is close to here . Do you want to come over for lunch ? +I ’ d like that , but I ’ m flying home this afternoon , and I told my parents I ’ d meet them at the airport for lunch . +OK , next time you ’ re here . +That ’ s a deal . +I heard that you moved to Florida . +Yes , I ’ m in Titusville . The space shuttle is launched from near there . I ’ Ve seen a lot of space shuttle launches . +Tell me more . +The shuttle launches are beautiful . I saw one that took off at midnight . The whole sky got bright . +Sounds great ! +I ’ m pretty happy living there . +I want to see Disney World , Sea World , Universal Studios , and Weeki-Watchee Springs . +I ’ Ve been to all of them . +I ’ m jealous . I ’ Ve never been to Florida . +The Sunshine State certainly is worth visiting . Come down for a vacation sometime . I ’ ll take you to Disney World . +That sounds great ! I ’ ll take you up on that invitation . +I hope you do . And keep in touch , OK ? +I sure will . +Here ’ s my business card . Send me an email once in a while . +Count on it . And here ’ s my card . Don ’ t hesitate to call me anytime . +Thank you . I ’ d better get going . I don ’ t want to be late for lunch . Mom would worry . +Well , I ’ m really glad we bumped into each other . Have a good trip . +Take good care of yourself , Mary . +I will . Good-bye . +Bye-bye ! +I can't decide what I should do . +What's the problem ? +Should I date Tom or should I date Harry ? +That's easy . If I were you , I'd date me ! +I'll tell you something that's good about action movies . The special effects are great ! +But they are so silly ! They're not art ! +That's just your personal prejudice . Do you know who was the director of the movie Titanic ? +James Cameron , of course . +Well , did you know he was also the director of The Terminator ? +Well , nobody's perfect ! +Can I help you ? +Yes . I am interested in applying for graduate school in America . +We have some catalogues from U . S . universities . You may check in the reference stacks over there . +Can you recommend some universities with good graduate schools ? +Well , generally in the U . S . each university has its own outstanding fields . But the graduate school accepts no applications after January 29th . +Oh , no . It's already February 5th . +So you have to apply to begin the first semester next year . +I will think about it . +Can you be serious for a moment , we've been dating for 6 months now , I really like you . I'd like to take a relationship to the next level . +So what are you trying to say to me ? +It feels like you are not dedicate to our relationship . It seems like you treat it as a just casual dating . +How should I say it ? +I don't want to be like this . I think we should get step further . +It has only been 6 months , our relationship hasn't had a chance to maturate . We are still have some hurdle we have to jump over . +Like what ? +Last week I saw Brain kissing you on the cheek . +It was only the cheek . +That is ok , then ? Starts on the cheek ? pretty soon you french kiss in the back on his car . +Oh , that is ridiculous . +So is it ok if I kiss other women on the cheek ? +Definitely not . +You see , we still have hurdle . +How did you get around over there ? Did you rent cars ? +No , that would be too expensive . We used the train system.We bought a special pass called a Enrail pass . It lets people use the train wherever they want , as often as they want . +I've heard about Enrail passes.So those Europeans really depend on trains a lot . +Yes , they do . I wish we Americans had a better train system . +I know . Our train system is lousy.And besides , Americans love their cars too much . +I agree . And probably the automobile companies are too powerful.They never allowed the government to develop trains . +It's too bad for the environment . So much pollution from cars . +Americans love cars for different reasons , I think.One reason is that we are very individualistic.And cars are a very individual way of getting around.Americans like the freedom of driving around by themselves.They don't want to ride in a train or bus with a group of people . +Yes , I agree . I think it is a cultural characteristic.It would be very hard to get us Americans to change this.But you know what ? Probably , in the future , Americans will have to change . +Why do you say " have to " ? +Because the earth's environment can't tolerate cars forever . I think cars are already causing global warming.When the problem gets more serious , world governments will have to start limiting car use . +Maybe you're right . They will have to develop alternative transportation.But it will be hard in America . Too many people are used to cars.Even in our movies cars are very important . +Wow ! I didn't notice the time.It ' s almost noon . I have to get home . +Do you want me to give you a ride ? +No , no problem . I have my car in the parking ramp around the corner . +Alright.Well , I'll stay here and have another coffee . Nice running into you . +See you around . +It's raining outside , Catherine , it's too bad.What ' s the weather like in your hometown ? +It's very hot , the temperature is often over 40C . +Do you like the weather in Seattle ? +Not really.But I like it in spring and fall . I don't like it in winter . +Why ? +The winter is very rainy , I don't like the rainy day . +What about the weather in Boston ? +I lived there for three years . I like summer but I don't like winter . +Is it very cold in winter ? +Yes , it is.But it's nice in spring and fall . +I'll help you with your homework . +I appreciate that . +That's a cool jacket . Where did you get it ? +I bought it when I was on vacation in Nepal . +I want to say goodbye to everyone . +You ’ re leaving so soon . When are you off ? +I ’ m catching the nine fifteen train tomorrow morning . +how about I come and see you off ? +You really don ’ t need to . +Ok . I ’ ll miss you . I hope we can see each other again soon . +I hope so , too . Thank you , Lily . Thank you for everything . +You ’ re welcome . +Please say goodbye to the rest of the family for me . +Ok . Take care . I hope you have a good journey . +Thank you . Remember to look me up if you ’ re ever in Washington . +Of course . I will . +Goodbye , then . Thanks again for everything . +Herman , why are you so excited ? +I have met a beautiful girl . +Have you fallen in love ? +Yes . At first sight . +Can you describe the situation at that time ? +At that time her back was ramrod straight as she sailed by , her tone is best , neither over-passionate , nor too cold . +What's her outlook ? +She was pretty , her hair was the color of rich dark chocolate , waving gently to her shoulders . Her complexion was clear and golden . +Where is Tom ? +He is in the bedroom and fallen asleep . +What ? It ’ s only 9 p . m . Now . Why today he went to bed so early ? +He ran four miles and came back dead beat . +Oh , I see . +What an attractive blouse , You look so pretty in this blue dress ! +Really ? Thank you . I bought it in Spring Street yesterday . +It's very nice.It goes well with your skirt . +Thank you.It ' s very nice of you to say so . +Not at all.This dress certainly shows your good taste . +That's quite a compliment coming from you . +What college are you attending ? +I am in Nanjing University . I am a junior . +Why did you choose to attend that college ? +Because it enjoys great reputation and it is located in my favorite city Nanjing . +What kind of college is it ? +Ii is distinguished for the strength of law and foreign languages studies .. +How do you like the play ? +It is very dull , and the production isn't very satisfactory , either . +You're absolutely right . I think the acting could be better . +To be fair , both the costumes and scenery are marvelous . +Maybe you're right . But I really don't like it . +Well , we'd better go to a musical comedy next time . I think the one we saw last month was very good . +Yes , they had constant changes of scene , and I love variety . +Me , too . I hate to sit there and look at the same stage scenery one scene after another . +Which team has won ? +Neither . The game ended in two all . +But I still think AC milan's defence seems better organized . +But the Brazilian is tougher . +I am really tired of Terry . +Oh , but I suppose he has lots of talents . +He is a bootlicker . I suppose that is because he is quick on the uptake . +What are you studying all day long for ? It ’ s summer vacation ! +I know ! I hate it ! But I ’ m taking this crash course in math . +Why ? +I have to take my exams for getting into the university , so I need to prepare . +Do you think it will help ? +It has to ! I ’ Ve been studying every day , eight hours a day ! I don ’ t know , but the school has a great success record . +Hmm ... Maybe I should sign up too . +I ’ ll pick up an application form for you at school tomorrow . +Have you seen the new Hannibal Letter movie ? +Oh , yes . You ? +Yes . What did you think of it ? +I thought it was better than the others-I really liked it.What did you think of it ? +I liked it , too . It was scary , but not disgusting . I always enjoy watching Anthony Hopkins . He's brilliant . +Mmm . That's what I thought , too . And I always enjoy watching Anthony Hopkins . +Oh , yes , he is brilliant . What's the name of the young actor ? +Hum , Edward Norton , or something like that . +Yes . He was excellent . They worked well together . +Mary seems depressed . What ’ s the matter ? +She didn ’ t expect to get a kick in the teeth after a day ’ s hard work . +Poor girl ! +Hi charles , I want you know that i finally found an apartment in haitian . +You did ? that is great ! +Yeah , I am having a party this saturday night , a sort of house warming , and i want to invite you . are you busy ? +No i am free , i will be there , what time the thing starting ? +Around seven . +Ok , great , should i bring anything ? +No , but thanks for offering , actually could you bring some fold-up chairs for people if you have any ? I am afraid not everyone's going to have a seat , do you have any ? +sure , I will be happy to bring a few , what is the address ? +Don't worry , I will come to pick you up at about six thirty . +Got it . +Did you watch the Oscars on Sunday night ? +No , but I heard about that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt didn't attend . +Yes , that was surprising . I heard that they got into a fight and then decided not to go . +They must be the most famous celebrity couple in Hollywood . +They're also one of the richest couples . They have so much money and they can buy almost anything they want . +I also heard that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made an appearance at the Oscars . +Did either one of them win an Oscar this year ? +I think Tom might have been nominated for one of his films , but I don't think he won anything . +Tom Cruise may be handsome , but I think he's a bit crazy , don't you ? +Yes , his marriage to Katie is actually quite scandalous . +I still think that they only got married to get more publicity for their movies and themselves . +People in show biz can have such an easy life ; I don't know why they have to make it so complicated . +I would never want to be a celebrity because the paparazzi would also be after you . +That's true . I guess it would be difficult to have people taking pictures of you everywhere you go . +Thank goodness we're not rich and famous ! +Being famous , I can do without , but I wouldn't mind being rich . +Oh , my God ! I've been cheated ! +What ? What did you buy ? +It's a brick ! I can't believe how stupid I was . Damn it ! +What is it ? Why did you buy a brick ? +There was a guy on the sidewalk.He had three new boxes , Panasonic video camera boxes.He said he had to get rid of them quick . +And ? +So he said he'd sell me one for twenty dollars . A four-hundred-dollar camera for twenty bucks . +And it's a brick ? +Yes . +I can't believe how stupid you are . Why didn't you open the box ? +I wanted to . But he said , no , the box is still in its plastic wrap from the store.If it's opened , other people won't believe it's new . +So he had the boxes wrapped in plastic . +Yes , it was the kind of perfect plastic wrap that comes with new products.Look , it even had a bar-code price sticker on it ! It looked brand new . +But why would a guy be selling new video cameras for twenty dollars ? +He said he had to get rid of them . They were stolen . +Aha ! Now I understand.You were trying to buy stolen goods on the sidewalk.So , what I think is , you deserve to get cheated ! +C'mon , don't blame me ! I thought it was a new camera . We could use it.We were even thinking about buying a camera . I don't understand how he could have such a perfect-looking box . +That's no problem.He just has a friend who works in a shop that can do plastic wrap . That's easy.And probably it's the same shop he got the boxes from.Maybe his friend works in an electronics store . They sell video cameras there . Probably they had a couple video camera boxes lying around.So they get the idea of wrapping bricks to sell to fools like you.Twenty dollars a brick . That's a good profit if they can sell enough bricks . +You're right , Sarah . I was a fool . I can't believe it . How could I fall for such a trick ? +What do you like to do in your spare time ? +I am a girl of many interests . I like dance , chess , collecting stamps , travelling and taking photos . +What kind of dance do you like ? +I like rumba and tango . +Great . I am not interested in Chinese chess . It is too difficult for me . +You can learn Chinese checkers or military chess . Both of them are much easier . +OK , I will try . As for stamp , don't you think it is an expensive hobby ? +Yes , it is . But it is full of fun and knowledge . What about you , what do you like to do as hobby ? +I like gardening . I take care of them everyday . I like those flowers and the swing in my garden . If the weather is nice , I would like to lie on the lawn . +Sounds pleasant . +I've heard of ground-level ozone but can you explain what it is exactly ? +Yes , it's one of the main air pollutants . Factories don't emit it directly into the air . It's actually formed when nitrogen oxides and VOC emissions come into contact with heat and sunlight . +Sorry ? What does VOC stand for ? +Oh , Vous are ' volatile organic compounds ' . That's a technical term for solvents or other chemicals found in things like paint . +So , what damage does ozone do to the environment ? +Well , it can cause smog , which can affect people's health - especially people with breathing difficulties . +I heard Tom was caught stealing something again in the supermarket . +Really ? He deserves it ! They should teach him a good lesson . +But the word is his brother would go bail for him . Last time it ’ s his father who went bail for him . +Then he is really lucky . +Do you have the day off today ? How come you're not at work now ? +I don't have the day off . Our labor union is staging a nationwide strike today , all of the workers in our department are supporting the labor union by participating and not going in to work this week . +Are you serious ? Why would they have to go to such extreme measures like a strike ? Doesn't your company have a pretty good corporate image ? I'll bet the folks at headquarters are going nuts over something as serious as a strike ... +It happens quite often , actually.Whenever there arises a dispute between the union and the executive group , the first thing they do is to call a strike . Usually it only lasts a day or two before both sides can come to an agreement and we start work again . Anyhow , it's a nice , unanticipated holiday ... +Are you going to take the job ? +I'll have to sleep on it . +We ’ re going to the movies . Will you join us ? +I ’ m very sorry I can ’ t . +Why not ? +I ’ m afraid I have some business to attend to . +Then would you like to have lunch with us ? +I ’ d love to but I have to help John with his math problems right now . +Would you like me to give you a lift ? +No , thanks . His home is not far and I can walk there . +Come on . It ’ s no trouble at all . +Ok , thank you . +What sports do you think women excel at most ? +I think women excel in every sport except the ones that are taboo for us to join in , like football . +I mean which ones are they better at than men ? +Why do you care ? Women and men are different all around . I don't think they can be compared . +That's a good point . Let me change my question . What sports do women like best ? +Well , I know some women who love golf and I know others who love contact sports . +Are you saying that women can't be generally categorized ? +Are you suggesting that anyone can be ? +I am going on my first date tonight . Can you give me some suggestions about what to wear ? +Well , I think you look very pretty in your polka dot purple dress with your hair piled at the rear . That makes you very graceful and mysterious . +Yeah , that's a good idea . Let me try it . +Remember to match it with your glittering star-shaped necklace . Very attractive on formal occasions . +Do I look more mature in the highheel shoes ? +Sure , more elegant and taller . +I shall wear light make-up instead of heavy . The face powder will lighten my skin color . +If I were your date , I would be so charmed by you . +Thank you . +How's your new car ? +Perfect ! Couldn't be better . +You made a good choice , then ? +It's just what I want . +No regrets . +I am really pleased with it . +I am glad you are happy . +It's super . +Hey , let's eat out tonight . +What's the occasion ? You won the lottery ? +No . Just want to relax a little bit . You don't have to win the lottery to relax , do you ? +Well , I am kind of broke . +Come on . It's on me . +Really ? It's very nice of you . +Don't be silly . I'll take you anywhere you wanna go . +Wonderful ! You know what ? I wish you wanted to relax everyday . +Dream on ! +Do you mind retiring earlier ? +No , I don't mind in the least . I want to do something of my own . What about you ? +I do . I don't know what to do after I retire . I'd like to work till I drop . +who is your favorite NBA star ? +Kobe Bryant , of course . +Kobe ? I know him , the key guy of the Lakers , a heck of a NBA player . He is on fire when he breaks through enemy defense . +He is competent both in driving the lane and shooting jumpers , but what really makes him formidable is his ability to switch up and dribble with his left hand . +Maybe he is not good ay rebounding ? +indeed , no man can be perfect . He is just so-so in crashing the boards . Usually he plays shooting guard . Rebounding might not be his strong suit . +Kobe came to Beijing during this summer's Olympics . Did you go to the match between China and USA ? +who wouldn't ! My friend Lee went so far as to get an autograph from him . +well then , what are your spoils ? +well , nothing more than a jumble of photographs . +Can I help you ? +Have you got the latest ONXIU magazine ? +Yes , but it's checked out . +What a pity ! I missed it again . +It's popular you know . You want to reserve it ? +Yes , please . +Fill out this form and we will send you a note when we get the book . +Thank you . What shall I do when I check out these books ? +Take the card , and fill in your name and library card number . +Thank you so much . +What do you like to do with your free time ? +Study English . +You mean you like to study English ? Why ? +It gives me great satisfaction . +Studying English wouldn't give me any satisfaction.It ' s hard work . +I don't mind the work . I think it's worthwhile . +Good news ! +What is it ? +The state of economy is starting to go up in our country . +That ’ s just the short in the arm we need . +Mary ? Are you still there ? +Yes . What do you want ? +Did your bid win ? +What do you care , dork ? +Hey ! I'm trying to be nice , and you still want to fight ! Did you get the statue or not ? +You mean fat boy ? +Sorry . I take that back . I mean the copper Buddha you wanted . +Do you mind if I sit here ? +Of course not , help yourself . +What are you studying ? +I have a test tomorrow . +The final examination will be held at the end of this month . Have you made good preparation ? +Sure . I've reviewed all the lessons I have learned this academic year . +Are you sure you can do well this year ? +I am 100 % certain . +According to what you did last time , I have my doubts . +I am sure I can get a 95 this time . +He always likes to say something as if all his geese are swans . +I know this characteristic of him . So I never think seriously of his words . +Yeah . This is a clever way to be in contact with such a person . +It seems that you don't like him . +You like to communicate with him ? +Can we have two tickets for seven thirty ? +Yes , and would you like to have seats in the front or at the back ? +In the front , please . +That's 35 yuan each . +Thank you . And what's on tomorrow ? +Tarzan . +Can we get tickets now ? +I am afraid not . Tomorrow is premiere . +That radio's pretty loud . Could you turn it down , please ? +Sorry . Was I disturbing you ? +Yes . And something else , please don't borrow my clothes without asking . +Sorry . I guess I wasn't thinking . I won't do it again . +Does bullfight interest you much ? +Absolutely ! Everything that ’ s thrilling turns me on . +So I ’ Ve got two tickets to the latest show but I need a little favor from you . +What is it ? +I'm afraid I spilled coffee on the tablecloth . +Oh , never mind . I am just going to do the laundry today . +I want to apologize . Is there anything can do for you ? +It really doesn't matter at all . I never did like it anyway . +I ’ m glad to have had the opportunity to meet you here . +I trust you ’ re keeping well ? +I ’ m doing great , thank you . +So we can get down to business . +Whoa , look at all those ice cream choices ! +Yes , that is a lot of choices . What is your favorite ? +I love anything with chocolate the best . +I like chocolate myself . +Is there any kind of ice cream you don't like ? +I really don't like any ice cream with nuts in it . +I haven't ever cared for that myself . +Have you ever had garlic ice cream ? +That sounds absolutely disgusting ! +It was . Let's stick with the regular choices today , though . +Hi Colin . How are you feeling today ? +Oh , I feel ok but I ’ m still very tired . +It's probably jet lag . +I think so . One minute I feel quite awake , and the next I feel very tired . +Do you want to visit any tourist spots in the city ? +Oh yes , I'm very interested in Chinese history so I ’ d like to visit the Summer Palace . +Good idea . I ’ d be very happy to go there . +Stephanie ! Did you just get to school ? But you were up and about when I left the dorm this morning ! That was about an hour and a half ago . This happens all the time ! Why do you always take so long +It ’ s a skill . What can I say ? I don ’ t know why , I just have a long routine . +Please explain because it makes no sense to me . How can a girl ’ s routine be so complicated ? You get up , you shower , you get dressed , you brush your teeth , you ’ re out the door . Half an hour , tops . +Jacob , you have the luxury of having a haircut that rarely needs styling . I don ’ t . I have to set aside about an hour and a half to get ready in the mornings . Every day , I wake up and head straight for the shower . Every second day , I wash my hair . If it ’ s a hair-washing day , I frequently need to wash my hair twice because it gets really oily . Then I usually put in a conditioner and have to rinse that out too . Because my hair is so long , I seldom manage to take a shower in under twenty minutes . Afterwards , I often put on a pot of coffee and get dressed while I wait for it to brew . I take a long time to get dressed in the morning . Every now and then I remember to choose my outfit the night before , but usually I do it in the morning . In all , getting dressed takes about half an hour , at which time my hair is now semi-dry so then I have to style my hair . From time to time I ’ ll put my hair up , butoften times I bloody it straight . And then , because of the texture of my hair , I regularly have to flat-iron it to keep it from frizzing . That ’ s another twenty minutes or so . After that , I have my daily makeup routine . +True , I hardly ever see you without your hair done and your makeup on , even when you show up to class in sweatpants . Tell me , how long does it take you to choose that outfit in the morning ? +Not funny . +Did it take you a long time to quit smoking ? +No . I just went cold turkey , and I never smoked again . +How do you do . I ’ m Mark Rancor . +Nice to meet you . +May I know your name , please ? +I ’ m Rose Teller . I think I ’ Ve seen you somewhere before ? +Ah , yes . I remember now.Were you Mr . John ’ s dinner partner last month ? +Yes , I was.You work for 3M , right ? +I did but now I ’ m for Microsoft.How are things with you ? +Good . +May I know what you do ? +I ’ m a fashion designer.Next month , I have a fashion show . I ’ d love it if come . I can get you a couple of tickets.So you can bring a friend if you like . +Sure.That would be great.Good luck . +Thank you . +You like Titanic ? That movie is so cheesy . +It's not cheesy ! It's romantic . When it first came out , I saw it in the theaters five times in one week . +Really ? Well the special effects might have been good in 1997 , but when you watch it today they make the film seem really cheesy . +Alright , maybe it's a little bit cheesy . But come on , isn't it fun to go to a cheap flick once in a while ? +Actually , I have to admit that you're right . I like some pretty cheesy movies too . I love Arnold Schwarzenegger action flicks , especially " Terminator . " +Haha , that's definitely a cheesy movie too . Did you watch it over and over again ? +Well ... I saw it only once , but for the next two months when I talked to people , I pretended I was the Terminator . +I see that there are Olympic mascots in your car . +Yes . I am very interested in the Olympic Games , and I'm especially excited about 2008 Beijing Olympics . +Me , too . I want to be a volunteer for 2008 Beijing Olympics . +That's cool . Care for a little quiz on that ? +No problem . I'm an ' Olympic expert ' . +Wow , you've talked the talk . Now it's time to walk the walk . Here we go . First , can you tell me something about the ancient Olympics ? +The ancient Olympics originated in ancient Greece . +Good . Why do people name it Olympics ? +They name it after the place where it was first held . +Who started the modern Olympics ? +This question is a piece of cake . A Frenchman named Baron de Coubertin . +What did people call him ? +Of course he was called ' the father of the Olympics ' . +What did he do for restoring the Olympics ? +He once made a speech on the ‘ Renaissance of the Olympics ' . +Well , that's for all . Excellent ! +I've told you I'm an expert . +Can we go to the beach on foot ? +Oh , it's too far to walk there.We can take a bus . +Is the bus station close by ? +Yeah , it's a block away down the street . +I really should be on my way . +Oh , don ’ t go yet . Let ’ s at least have one more . +No , thank you . I can ’ t . +It ’ s too bad that you have to leave so early . +Thank you very much . I had a really good time . +Thanks for coming ! We should meet again sometime soon . +That would be great ! Actually , can I get your phone number , Ella ? That ’ s assuming you don ’ t mind if I call you sometime . +Anytime . You can reach me 5558929 . +ok , got it . I ’ ll call you sometime next week . +Fine . +It ’ s time to go and I hope we can get together again soon . +I hope so , too . Bye ! Ben . +May , could you bring this note to Professor Li for me today ? +Sure , no problem . Asking for leave again ? You have been absent from class five times this semester . +I know . But attending Miss Li's class is just waste of time . No more than one third of her students will go to her class . +I agree that Miss Li doesn't teach so well . Most students either sleep or do other things in her class . +Yeah , my boyfriend plays the video game every time in class with me . Or I chat with my friends through text messages . +Fortunately her class is just an elective course , not as important as compulsory courses . +Right , so we must spare some time to attend selective courses . +But isn't it too impolite to be absent ? +What can I do ? I have things to do in Students ' Government . +Oh , I thought you just gave an excuse on this note . +Sometimes I will try various excuses . But this is my last time asking for leave . Or I will have a bad record . +Yeah , besides , your credit will be deducted . That is kind of serious . +I have been absented from many classes this semester just because of my work in the Students ' Government . +You can't write with one hand and draw with the other . +I am thinking about quitting my job in the student government . But before that , I must do my job . Bye . Don't forget about that note . +You can count on me . +Do you know that working overtime in some companies is a regular thing ? +How regular ? +An average ten hours or more a day according to a survey , the worst thing is that the employees get no pay for that . +You are kidding me ? It is against the labor law . They should be aware of their rights . +But these people say nothing about that . They are worried about losing their job because there is surplus in labor force these days . +That ’ s not right , somebody should do something . +Can we have two tickets for the 7:30 showing of ' Beautiful Mind ' . +Sorry , we have sold out the tickets . +What's on tomorrow at that time ? +' Beautiful Mind ' will be playing again . And there's also ' Titanic ' . +Terrific , that's a wonderful movie , I like it very much . Can I get tickets now for tomorrow ? +Yes , 20 yuan for each . +Two tickets , please . +OK . Here you are . +What would you like to be in the future ? +A teacher . +But if I were you , I would be a singer . You've got such a beautiful voice . +I wouldn't like to be a singer , but I'd like to become a music teacher to teach children to sing , That dream developed in my mind when I was a child . +Are you sure about that ? +I'm quite sure . I've always loved working with children . +Didn't Joe feel it a shame to live on his parents since he has graduated from college ? +He has no sense . +If I were him , I wouldn't brazen it out by asking my parents for money . +But Joe won't you . +My goodness ! She is thirty seconds faster than the world record in 5000 metres race . +Excuse me , what did you say ? +A Chinese girl has broken the world record in the Olympic Games . +That's incredible . I can't believe it . +You have to . It is sure . +How amazing ! +I like small towns . +But many roads are very narrow . +Not always , and there're also few cars ! +Yes , because of fewer people . +Veronica ! Veronica ! Veronica ! Are you OK ? +Steven ! What ’ s going on ! Who were those guys ? I didn ’ t know you have a gun ! What ’ s going on ! +I will come clean as soon as we get to safety , OK ? For now , you have to trust me , please ! I would never do anything to hurt you . +Steven , I ... +I haven ’ t been completely honest with you Veronica , I ’ m sorry . I ’ m not a fireman . I ’ m not even from the United States . I ’ m a spy for the Indian government . +What ? Why didn ’ t you tell me before ? What are you doing here ? +When I was a young boy , I used to play cricket my father back in my hometown of Hyderabad . It was a peaceful town , and my father was a renowned chemist . One day , he was approached by members of the CIA , claiming that my father had made the discovery of the millennium in his small lab back at the university where he taught bio-chemistry . I never saw him again . I vowed to discover the whereabouts of my father and consequently joined the Indian Intelligence Bureau . +What does that have to do with those men shooting at us ? Most importantly , why did you lie to me ! +I ’ m sorry , I wasn ’ t supposed to meet you . I wasn ’ t supposed to fall in love with you , but you have to believe me when I tell you that what I feel for you is real . +I can ’ t believe this ! Why are all these things happening to me ! I can ’ t take it anymore ! Let me out of the car ! +Veronica , wait ! +Hey , May . How about getting together for a movie tonight ? +Sure . What's playing ? +Well , Let me check the newspaper . What about The Terminal ? +Wow , it stars Catherine Zeta-Jones , my favorite actress . +Well , birds of a feather flock together . I like her too . She was in a lot of dramas . +She is so beautiful and elegant . And she is famous for her fine acting . +What's more , she doesn't have scandals . And she likes to take part in the charitable activities . +Who is the director ? +Steven Spielberg . Another superstar . +Yes , a legend , also . I still remember , his movies , Jurassic Park and Schindler's List got him nine Oscar awards in 1994 . +Can you introduce the story of The Terminal briefly ? +It tells a romantic and humorous love story . +This is really exciting movie . Lets go to this one . +He's too young for the job . +Give him a chance . +Happy New Year ! +Thank you ! The same to you . +Have you got any plans ? +I've been invited over to a friend's . And you ? +My roommate's having a party . +What musical instrument do you play ? +I can play the piano a bit . +Then we can have one more program at our party ? +No , no . My playing isn't good enough for me to perform in public . +Just make yourself at home . +Thank you . You are cooking up a storm . +Wouldn't you like some more chicken ? +No , thank you . I'm afraid I can't take in anymore . +Oh you look awful ! What ’ s the matter ? +Oh ! I feel really under the weather . I ’ Ve got a sore throat and a bad cough . +Oh dear . Maybe you ’ Ve caught a cold . +Yes , I ’ Ve had lots of overtime to do recently and I haven ’ t slept much at all . +Well then , you should get some rest this weekend and don ’ t go out drinking . +Yes , I think you ’ re right ! +Hi , Fanny . +Hi , Andy . +Are you feeling OK ? You sound a little tired this morning . +I did not sleep much last night . I really feel bad . It was a crazy night . +What happened ? +I had a bad dream . I was walking alone in the graveyard , and suddenly all the ghosts jumped out of their graves . They began to chase me through the graveyard and shouted that they wanted my blood . +Oh , what a nightmare ! Then what happened ? +My mother woke me up . She had heard me crying out for help . +You have got a great mother . +I felt embarrased . After all , I am 18 years old . Mom gave me some chocolate cookies and a glass of milk . +That sounds good ! +Yeah , but i was afraid to fall back asleep . I am worrying about getting into the University of Michigan . +Me too . But I tell myself that if they don ’ t accept me , another school will . +Hey ! That food was terrific . I can't eat another bite . Are you sure you don't want another dish ? +No , I'm full . My stomach isn't growling at me any more . +I know what you mean . I'm so full that I can burst . Shall we go then ? +I'm all set . Thank you for the dinner , Jack . +You are welcome . +Hey , Maris , are you a part-timer ? +Part-timer ? Is that a new buzzword ? +Oh , it ’ s pretty popular among my classmates these days . So are you ? +Sure , I have a part-time job as a bartender . +Cool ! It must be amazing to work at a bar ! +Yeah , but I ’ m not there for fun . I have to remain professional and if I get distracted , the manager would be pretty upset . +That ’ s true . I ’ m wondering did you learn anything from the job ? +Of course . There ’ s always much to learn . I got to know more about the real world . +You mean you got working experience , right ? +Not just working experience . I would say the biggest lesson I learned is how to deal with people from all walks of life . +It must be very demanding . +Sometimes it is . But after working for a few weeks , it ’ s easy to figure out . +Really ? It sounds interesting . +Maybe you can come to the bar one day and I ’ ll show you around . +Great . I ’ m looking forward to it . +Did you set your clock forward for daylight savings time ? +What ? Why do we have to do that ? +Well , at the start of the spring we usually have more daylight in the mornings and less in the afternoon . This is basically due to our position on the planet and the rotation of the earth . In any case , to take better advantage of the daylight available , we compensate by moving our clocks forward one hour . +I see . That ’ s convenient ! I never understood things like this , such as GMT . I never know what time zone we are in or when to change my clock ! +That just stands for Greenwich Mean Time . Here in California , we are in Pacific Standard Time , that is eight time zones west of Greenwich . Remember when we were in Beijing ? Well , then we were in China Standard Time , and that ’ s eight time zones east of Greenwich ! +That ’ s why it was so weird traveling from Beijing to LA ! Because of the huge time difference , even though we left Beijing at noon and flew for more than eight hours , we still arrived in LA the same day at noon ! It ’ s like we went back in time ! +You wouldn't believe what happened to me today . +What ? +The teacher asked me to make a speech in English class and I wasn't prepared . He punished me by making me stand in front of the whole class . It was so embarrassing . +Does your girl friend like swimming ? +Yes , she does . She is good at backstroke and free style . +Then you can help her with the breaststroke and sidestroke . +But she wants to learn the butterfly stroke +Really ? Then just ask her to follow me . +I heard you are now practicing underwater swimming , aren't you ? +Yes . But I still have some difficulties it breathing . +Say , kid , keep on practicing , you're sure to be a first-class swimmer . +To tell you the truth , I have never thought of being a swimmer . I swim just for fun . +That's good . +He was once a poor man but now he is a man of means . +How did he make a fortune ? +He didn't make any effort . His aunt died and left him a fortune . +what do you think of studying abroad ? +I think it's a great idea . Studying abroad will offer you plenty of new opportunities . Are you planning on going abroad ? +yes , I hope so . I am studying for my BELTS right now . +which country do you want to go to ? +I'd like to study in the UK , but it's really expensive . +have you applied to any schools there ? +yes , I received a conditional offer from Oxford University a few days ago . +congratulations ! That's excellent news ? What do you have to do to get an unconditional offer ? +I have to get an BELTS score of 7.5 overall . Do you think I can do that ? +if you study hard , I don't see why you wouldn't . Have you received any other offers ? +I was also accepted into Yale University , and Sydney University . +if you're worried about money , the cost of living is lowest in America . However , if you go to Oxford University , you'll probably be able to get any job you want in the future . +I just can't decide where to go . It's not an easy decision to make . +if I were you , I'd apply for some scholarships and grants before you decide . Whatever you do , I know you'll succeed . +You have drank dozens of cups . You are bound to get a bay window . +Thank you , but I am in a terrible mood indeed . +Mr . Lin , what are you interested in ? +I enjoy camping . +Really ? I'm not much of an outdoor person . What do you like about it ? +I love the fresh air , the scenery the exercise , and the time to think . +Do you hike or fish on your trips ? +Yes , both . Last trip I fished a little and hiked five miles . +Did you catch anything ? +Yes , but I threw them back . +How about Joining our summer camp next week ? +Great ! I can't wait . +Hey , Jim . I didn ’ t know you biked to work . +Yeah , it helps keep me fit and helps the environment , too . +One less car on the road means less pollution . +Right . Since my work is near a park , it ’ s a really nice ride , too . +How far is it ? +Oh , about 10 miles . It takes me about an hour . +That doesn ’ t sound too bad . I wish I could do it , but I work in the city . So I take the train . +You ’ re doing your part for the environment by using public transportation , too . +True . Well , see you tomorrow . +See you . +Did you hear about Neil ? +No , what ? +I hear that he's quitting . +You're kidding ! +I'm afraid not ! Now this is just between you and me . +I wonder if I could possibly borrow two bikes from the shop tomorrow ? I ’ ll take actual care of them . I promise you . +Well . All right , Mark . Just this once . But you have to pick them up yourself . I ’ m a very busy man . +Oh , that ’ s all right . It ’ s very kind of you . Can I come around now ? +I ’ d rather you didn ’ t come immediately as I said I ’ m very busy at the moment . Come after lunch , Mark . +Yeah . You don't need to rub it in . +And then she made the deal with MicroPower . Vince wanted to sell for fifteen million ... +Fifteen ? And Zina pushed them up to seventy-five ? +That's right . Vince still stops by her office every day to thank her . +Anyway , I'm still happy I left . I'm working as a freelancer now . +You really should have stayed with us , Dave . +I feel I work harder when I am under pressure . +Me too . I get much more done when I am under the gun . +You spoken English is pretty good . Please tell me your experience in learning English . +Uh , I don't know what to say . What do you want to know ? +What's your method of learning ? +Let me think a minute . I think I always try to take every chance to practice . +What if there is no chance ? I mean what if you don't have a partner , what will you do ? +Well , I talk to myself . That is , I play one role first , then the other . +That's a good idea . You are really creative . +I am not convinced by your explanation . Could you explain it ? +Sorry , I really can't do that . There's little time left for us . +I can't accept your excuse . It's five o'clock . +Yeah . But I have an appointment with Ann . +Ok , sounds good . But I think it's your trick . +Hello , Tom ! +Hello , Steven ! +How are you doing ? +Not bad . What about you ? +I'm just a little tired . +Why ? +I have a lot of work to do in the company recently . +How is your family ? +Pretty fine , thanks . +Where are you going now ? +I am going to buy a new air conditioner for my parents . Oh , it ’ s two o ’ clock . I must go now . +OK , see you next time . +See you . +Hi , John . What brings you to town ? +Hi , Mary . Lily wanted me to buy her some things for the party . +What do you think of the traffic today ? +It ’ s pretty bad . +Yeah . You can say that again . It ’ s noisy too . +I am glad I did not drive a car . +Which season do you like best ? +I like spring . +Why ? +Oh , everything comes back to life in spring and the weather gets warmer . +I like spring , too.We can go for a walk and enjoy the fresh air . +Bill , how can you hear so happy today ? +Aha . I've read of my roommate . I made a move today . +Really ? What was the matter ? +You knew Brain Locker ? +Brain Locker ? No , I don't think so . What does he look like ? +Well , he's thin and tall . He has brown hair , a holt nose , green eyes and wearing glasses . +Mm . I've seen him a couple of times , I think . +How are you doing today ? +Good . Thanks for asking . +What may I do for you ? +I need help with something . +What do you need help with ? +I am looking for a newspaper article . +Have you looked in the periodicals ? +I didn ’ t even think about that . +I can show you where they are . +That would be a lot of help . +Follow me , please . +Thank you so much . +What do you usually do in your work time ? +Some routine job . Files , documents , faxes and so on . +Are you usually busy ? +It depends . Sometimes I am very busy . +What depends ? +Oh , that means I can't make sure for my own . +Oh , I see . +Thanks for inviting me to your friend ’ s wedding . I was surprised to hear the bride and groom talking to each other that way during the marriage ceremony . Is that common ? +Well , some people use a standard set of words , but many couples today write their own wedding vows . +Your tradition of throwing rice as they got into their car was interesting , but it didn't look like real rice to me . +It wasn't . It was birdseed . We don't throw rice anymore because someone discovered that birds come along and eat the rice and have trouble digesting it . +Oh , I didn't think of that . Well , this reception reminds me of weddingparties back in China . Plenty of food and drink , music and dancing , and interesting traditions . +Wait until you see what happens next ! The bride is getting ready to throw her bouquet . Let's go over and watch . +She ’ s got quite a crowd around her . Oh , look ! That little girl caught it ! +She ’ s my friend ’ s ten-year-old niece . I guess there won ’ t be another wedding in this family for a long time . +You look run down , Brian . +I've been feeling under the weather recently . I caught a bad cold last week , and I still haven't got over it . +Well , you wanna take a sick leave ? All you need now is a good , long rest . +I guess so . Even though I seem to be over the worst of it . I don't want to give the bug to anyone in the office . +Good idea . +You seem to be in the seventh heaven . What's put you on ? +Sarah and I could see eye to eye with each other . +Did she give up her decision to marry Dick ? +No , I encourage her to go her own way , but she's now having a change of heart . +Excuse me . Can you tell me how to find some books on social science ? +Sure . You see all these little drawers here and all the way around the walls ? +Yes . +These drawers contain cards describing every book in our library . Together they constitute the library's " card catalog " . You can see that each drawer runs from one part of the alphabet to another . Fox example , this drawer goes from SCA to SCM . +So if I'm looking for a look called A History of Western Society , I'd just look under ' A ' . +No . You'd look under ' W ' . The articles ' a ' and ' the ' don't count in our alphabetization , and cards are generally omitted for extremely common words and phrases such as ' history of ' , ' introduction to ' , ' story of ' and so forth . +What if I don't know the title of the book ? +Well , you can look under the author's name . +Could you give me an example ? +Suppose you want to find a book by your professor , William Smith . You'd look under SMITH and then WILLIAM . Since that's very common name , you may have to go through several ' William Smith ' until you come to the one who wrote book on the subject you are interested in . +Julia , are you free tonight ? +What's up ? +I want to invite you to go to the movies . +Are you asking me for a date ? +Yes . +I don ’ t like to go to the movies on a date . It's noisy there . +Where do you want to meet ? +Let's go to the coffee shop then . It's quiet there . +What time should we meet ? +How about seven ? +All right . +Hello , Catherine . Would you like to go out tomorrow ? +Tomorrow ? +Yeah , I was thinking we could get a bite to eat and catch a movie . +That sounds great . +Yes . We can do something else if you like . +OK . Dinner and a movie will be perfect . +Well . What time would you like me to pick you up ? +How about 7 o'clock ? +Good . I will see you then . +OK . Bye . +Bye . +Hey , there ’ s Leo . I wonder why he ’ s walking arm in arm with that young woman . +It ’ s as plain as the nose on your face . They ’ re dating each other . +You ’ re pulling my leg ! She must be thirty years younger than Leo . Talk about robbing the cradle ! +Well , you can bet this relationship ’ s going to be a flash in the pan . +It must have been love at first sight because I know he didn ’ t have a girlfriend last week . +I think you are absolutely right . Actually , my father proposed to my mother after knowing her only two weeks . They got married a month later . +Do you think maybe it would be better to just talk to Vince ? Explain the situation ? +No way . I want the satisfaction of squishing this bug myself . Plus , what if it's Vince ? +I don't think so . Your admirer seems kind of sweet . Aren't you even a little curious about him ? +He's just a distraction , like a mosquito buzzing in my ear . I want no distractions . +A little distraction might do you some good , Zina . +You didn't ring me last night . You said you would . +I'm sorry to have made you disappointed . +That's all right . But why were you so rude to me at lunch . +Was I ? Sorry , I didn't mean to be . I do apologize . +And why are you yarning now ? Are you bored ? +Forgive me darling . I'm very tired . +Hi , how is it going ? +Pretty good , Sam . Only the awful weather , you know . +That ’ s right . I ’ Ve never really liked it since I got here . +Me either , but I ’ m dealing with it anyway . +Would you like to go skiing with me ? I heard the new ski area is great . They have safe tracks , especially for the beginners and provide free training . I think it suits you best . +Sounds not bad ! You know , the only thing I worried about is the safety . I ’ m not an active exerciser and my muscle may be not strong enough for such an intense sport . +Then you can go to the three-day-long training camp first . There ’ re some professional teachers and they can guide you to do certain necessary exercise . +I will think about it . +Come on ! It is really a fun game . +What's that ? +It's my new pendant . Do you like it ? +Is that Hello Kitty ? +Yes , in a monkey suit . It's adorable ! +Is it real gold ? +Yeah . Two-toned , white and yellow . +what date is it today ? +why ? +look at the girls in the street . They all have bunch of flowers.Is it Valentine's Day ? +Oh , yes ! I completely forgot about it . +did you have a fight with Jack ? +no , but now he'll be in trouble . What's a boyfriend for ? To forget about Valentine's Day ? +come on , dear ! You forgot it , too . +you know , it's OK for a girl to forget these " big days " , but for a guy , to do that is unforgivable . +is that your phone ? +oh , it's Jack . Excuse me . +wow ! good timing . +he asked me out to a dinner tonight . How about joining us ? +come on ! three's a crowd ! +so what ? +just go ! it's Valentine's Day ! +We ’ re going to the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow . Feel like coming along ? +Sure . I ’ Ve never seen a dragon boat race . +Really ? I think you ’ ll love it . +As long as I don ’ t have to row . +I must admit I'm not at all interested in math . +I'm sure you'll soon begin to like it.It ' s such an interesting subject . +But I don't think I'll ever show my liking to math . +Hi , Ellen ! How is it going ? +Can ’ t be better ! Bob , aren ’ t you glad the semester is over ? +Yep ! Are you going to the rock concert Friday night ? +I didn ’ t think much of it . Are you ? +Sure . Would you like go with me ? +Sounds like fun . +You ’ ll have to buy your own ticket though . +Are you broke again ? Let me treat you . +Wow ! When did you come into so much cash ? +You know , I am a waitress at the student center . Anyway now those final exams are almost over . I ’ d love a night out . +not a single email until now ? it's already twelve o'clock . I can't believe it ! +can't bear it , right ? I've been there before . I'll feel comfortable if no one calls me or sends me text messages , like there is something missing . +yeah , that's right . If no one sends me test messages , I'll go crazy . +actually , this is a kind of addiction called " infomania " or " information overload " . +addiction ? checking emails and text messages often can be called an addiction ? no way ! +yes , it is . Do you consider a frequent check of your income emails to be an integral part of your working day ? +absolutely . +do you have your cell phone with you wherever you go and check text messages and phone calls from time to time ? +yeah , it's a must . Otherwise , I may miss important phone calls and text messages . +do you open all your IM tools whenever you're using a computer ? +yes . MSN , QQ , Skype , Google Talk , Ali wangwang , everything , so that I'll be in touch with all friends and relatives . +now I can tell you're definitely addicted to the overflow of information . +Mark . Where have you been ? I ’ Ve been calling you all morning . +I ’ Ve been playing computer games . +What ? So you blew me off yesterday and today over a stupid video game ? What game is so important that you have no time for me anymore ? What are you playing ? +It ’ s called Counter Strike.It ’ s a first person shooter game.It ’ s awesome.It ’ s a multi player game where you can go online and compete against players from all over the world . +You ’ Ve been wasting your time on this ? I can ’ t believe it ! It doesn ’ t even look fun or challenging ! +My laptop is on my bed . If you think it ’ s so easy then get on line and try to beat me . +Fine ! +Damp it ! How are you killing me with a single shot ? It ’ s not fair ! I don ’ t want to play anymore ! Let ’ s go get something to eat . +Can you bring me something ? I am totally hooked on this game ! +Why did Tom quit his job ? +He said his present job seemed to be a blind alley . +If he doesn't change his attitude toward work , I don't think a new job can make any difference . +What did he say ? +He said he would tell us the secret of becoming a successful man . +It ’ s too good to be true ! If I were there , I would ask him if he himself was a successful man . +Nobody would drive him up a wall by asking him such a question , you know . +Nice dress . How do I look ? Be honest . +Hmm ... you look too dressed up . How about this purple top and these jeans ? +Well , that top is a little too tight , and those jeans aren ’ t dressy enough . And I don ’ t feel comfortable with that . What do you think , Vicky ? You ’ Ve been very quiet up to now . +Be confident . Wear styles you ’ re going to be comfortable in . +You had better get a grab instead of getting upset about little things . +I know . But my life seems super stressful . I really don ’ t know how to get a better grab on things . +I think as long as you try your best and don ’ t think of anything too much , everything will be all right . +Here ’ s a letter for you . +Let me see it . +Who ’ s the letter from ? +It ’ s a letter from UCLA about my acceptance . +Read it ! +UCLA accepted me ! +Really ? +I ’ m not joking . I got accepted ! +I ’ m so happy for you ! +UCLA was my second choice , but I ’ m happy knowing I ’ Ve been accepted . +I am really proud of you . +You have no idea how proud I am of myself . +Do you think the weather will be good this weekend ? +I heard it might rain . +Oh . That ’ s a pity . I thought that we might go hiking in the hills . +Mmm ... Well we could go to that new art gallery instead . +Yes that might be a better idea . +Maybe we ’ ll meet some of the artists too . +Ok - let ’ s do that then ! +On balance , dress designing appeals to me most . +Yes , it's to my liking , too . +Say , how would you like to be a dress designer ? +It's my dream . +How often do you use the internet ? +I use it almost every day , but I usually only use it to check my email . I don ’ t often surf the net . You use the internet a lot , don ’ t you ? +Yes . I use it to find products and components at the lowest price for my company . It can be frustrating when the connection is poor . +So , you ’ re online eight hours a day . +Yes , I like the job though . Sometimes , I help other people in the office if they ’ re having trouble online . +How useful do you think the internet is as a source of information ? +I think it ’ s fairly useful , but there are two big problems . First , a lot of the information you find online is false . Second , when you buy something online , you don ’ t see it until you actually get it . +How do you solve the website problems when you ’ re buying something online ? +What I do is find the website of shops . Then someone from our company visits the shop and buys when they ’ re seen that the products are genuine and suitable . +Today more and more families have personal computers . People have wider range of choice to communicate with the outside world . +Right . With the establishment of Internet and a lot of web companies , people are getting more and more dependent on the web . +One of the common uses of PC is that people can buy goods through it without going out to the physical stores . +Can you tell me how it is done ? +If a customer is interested in some certain goods , he can ask the web company to have the specimen of the goods shown on the color screen , and then the customer can place an order online to the sales company . And then the goods you want will be delivered to your home . The service is perfect and the delivery is free of charge . +I see . So great . +Hi , Bob ! How are you doing ? +Fine ! How are you ? +I'm fine too , thank you . +I've come to tell you I'm going to the concert this evening.Will you come with me ? I've two complimentary tickets . +With the greatest pleasure.Where is the concert this evening ? +It will be held at the Music Hall . +What's on the program ? +It's a piano recital . I'm fond of piano , you know . +What a good day ! +Yes . It's really wonderful here The grass is greener and the air is fresher than those in the city . +Right . Let's go out and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery . +Great , let's go . +Wow , what a beautiful lake ! The green hills and clear water really provide magnificent scenery . +En , it's so beautiful that I don't want to move my eyes from it . +I feel as if I'm living in a different world , honey . +The same to me . All the things here make me happy , the mountain , the water , the grass , the birds , the sunshine ... +I think we should go out more frequently . The natural scenery can do us good . +That's the point . We should walk into the nature and enjoy its beauty whenever we have time . +Right . The city life has made us tired and out of energy , while the natural world can bring us quite new feelings . +My mother and my wife are always holding different ideas . +If you are really in love with your wife , you should be in support of her . You can ’ t have it both ways , of course . +You mean I should please her by following her suggestion . +Yeah . Love me , and love my dog . +Get changed ! +What for ? +what a nice uniform ! +thanks ; do you like it ? +not really . I was being sarcastic . Does it come with the job ? +yes , everyone on the sales floor has to wear one . They're supposed to make us look more professional . +they're not actually that bad . They could be worse . What do you think about it ? +I don't mind it , actually . I don't have to worry about what I'm going to wear every day . +so are you enjoying your new job ? +it's much better than my old one . My new boss is great . +how do you like working in sales ? +I like the fact that I get to work with people . It makes the day go by much faster . +that's good . Have you met Jane yet ? She's the intern in the international travel department . +yeah , I've met her . She's a genius saleswoman ! +I know ! She could sell fridges to Eskimos ! +how do you know her ? +she's my cousin . +why didn't you tell me about that before ? +I don't know . I didn't think it was that interesting . +well , now that I know that , maybe we should all go out for dinner sometime . +that's a good idea . Let's discuss after work . +Isn ’ t this great ? I always wanted to own a farm , live out in the country , grow my own food ! +This is very beautiful . Though I have to confess , I don ’ t know the first thing about farming ! +That ’ s fine ! Don ’ t worry about it ! +What was that ? +Relax , it was just a goat ! +And that ? +It ’ s just the cows that are grazing over there . We can milk them later . +What was that ? +Honey , seriously , It ’ s just a sheep . Relax ! +Relax , that was just the horses and donkeys that are in the stable . +You know what ? I don ’ t think I can hack it here out in the countryside . I ’ m going back to the city ! +What do you base our grades on ? +All of your coursework is important , including everything from attendance and homework to all of your test results for the semester . +Does the final count the most ? +All of it is important ; please just do your best at all times . +How do you total our scores ? +The final and mid-term are twenty percent each ; homework , attendance , and quizzes are the rest . +What if we are out sick ? +Make sure you contact me as I only allow one unexcused absence . +How can we know if we are doing OK during the year ? +Your grade will not be a surprise ; you will know what you need to work on . +I watched a very interesting documentary about plants yesterday evening . It was called unusual plants and looked at several species of plants from around the world which have unusual features . +Really ? Tell me about some of the plants they showed . +Well . There was one type of plant that catches insects and eats them . +Is that type of plant found in this country ? +No , it isn ’ t . it ’ s a pity , because I ’ d like to see it in action . +So would i . what other unusual plants did they show ? +They showed flowers that only provide their nectar to one type of butterfly or bee . The insect has to be the exact size to get the nectar . Other insects cannot get it . Of course , when the insect molle +That ’ s very specialized . So , the insects and the flowers rely on each other . If one became extinct , the other would too . +That ’ s right . That ’ s one reason why it ’ s so important to protect every species . +I see . The plants that fascinate me most are cacti . I find it amazing that they can survive in such dry desert conditions . +According to the documentary , they have an incredible ability to find water supplies , however small , and then store them without losing much through evaporation . +That ’ s why they often have long roots to find water spines instead of leaves , to reduce water loss . +I got the job you recommended me for last week . +That's great ! Congratulations . +I really don't know how I can thank you enough . +Oh , it's my pleasure . After all , you are very qualified for the position . +Thank you very much indeed.You helped me rebuild my self-confidence . +Don't mention it.You ' re always been good.What do you say we go out to celebrate ? +That would be great . +The Great Wall is a great attraction for visitors . +It's a man-made wonder . I've seen it many times in textbooks and it's part of my dream to visit it . +Someone claimed it was one of the two man-made wonders that could be seen on the moon . +That's true . +I can ’ t believe it ! +What ’ s wrong ? That was a great goal . +Yes , but I bet $ 200 dollars on the Cougars ! +Looks like you ’ re going to lose out on this game then . +I can ’ t believe it ! I thought the Cougars were going to win for sure . +What were the odds ? +20 to 1 , in favour of the Cougars ! +Too bad . +Hey , let's go out and grab a couple of beers tonight ! +Sorry , I can't . I have to work late at the laboratory . +Nigel , you sure lead a dog's life , what's up with that ? +My boss wants me to finish this project tonight . +What do you think of your teacher ? +He's very strict with us . +And I hear he gives very good lectures . +Indeed.He ' s strict with himself too . +Ernie , I'm really excited about starting this band together . We're going to be the two coolest students on campus . +I know ! It's gonna be great . But what kind of music do you think we should play ? +That's a good question . You know I love hip hop , so maybe we can play some Vanilla Ice songs . +Hmm ... Vanilla Ice ? I know his most famous song , " Ice Ice Baby , " but I don't know his other songs . +That's OK . You can buy his songs on iTunes and listen to them . +What's taking you so long ? +Don't worry . I'm almost finished . +I need you to hurry up . +All right . I'm finished . +I think there's more you need to do . +What do you mean by that ? +My hair looks awful . +What don't you like about it ? +I just don't like my hair . +I'm sorry that you don't like it . +I won't be paying you for this . +I'm sure we can work something out . +Honey , why are you so angry ? Can you tell me ? +You don ’ t love me , Roy . +Why do you say such words ? I love you very much . +No , you used to be . But not now . You are in love with someone else . You are in love with my friend , Janet . You appreciate her very much . You think she is beautiful and fun to be with and you think I ’ m dumb and uninteresting . +Susan , just one last week I went out to have a lunch with her . There is nothing for you to be jealous about . I like your company much better than Janet ’ s . +I envy her and also I hate her at the same time . +Honey , you should know that I love you so deeply . +Oh , shut up , Roy . +But honey , I think you ’ re terrific . There is nothing ... +Oh , SHUT UP ! +what kinds of tv programmes do you enjoy watching ? +I like current affairs programmes and documentaries , especially wildlife ones . How about you ? +I like those kinds of programmes too . They ’ re very informative . I think that many people underrate the education value of tv . +I agree . People often criticize tv for showing too much sex and violence . +yeah . And that ’ s so funny because most people prefer watching sex and violence to watching something more educational ! +right . You can ’ t blame the tv stations for showing popular kinds of programmes . They need to make money from advertisements shown during and between programmes . +in my country , there ’ s a time limit on the advertisements that can be shown . I think it ’ s about six minutes per hour . +that ’ s great idea . But don ’ t the tv station lose a lot of money because of that ? +no . they don ’ t . they simply charge higher prices at peak times . Is there no limit on the amount of advertisements that can be shown on tv in your country ? +not as far as I know . We have so many advertisements . the interruptions are unbearable sometimes ! That ’ s one reason that many people prefer satellite or cable tv , where you pay a fixed amount each mo +some people have satellite and cable tv in my country , but people don ’ t seem to keen to pay for their tv programmes . Besides , the terrestrial channels offer a good range of programmes . +well , there ’ s a wildlife documentary on tv in a few minutes . Shall we ? +Bon voyage ! +Goodbye . +Can you believe me ? +Sure . +Please count on my love . +I will . +I'll be yours through endless time . +I see . And I'll always be devoted to you . +Thank you . I know I've nothing to offer you , but I'll never give you reason to cry . +I'll never hurt you ; I'll never lie . +My love will grow , like a river to flow . +It can't be dry , and can't die . +I don't know whether we are in a dream . +Aha , Aha ... +Hi , Sara , what are you reading ? +Hi , John , I am trying to find a carpenter . +Why ? +Well , I want to build a deck in my back yard . +What for ? +So I can have a special place to hang out with friends , and also do some barbecuing on weekends . +That sounds cool . Do you mind if I recommend myself for the job ? +You ? Do you have a carpenter's license ? +Yes , of course . But I only freelance on weekends with my uncle . +Wow ! That's cool . So , let me give you some details about the deck I want . +Please go ahead , I am listening . +I'd like my deck to be at the same level as the back door . +Is your back door higher than the ground level ? +Yes , the back door is about four or five steps higher than the ground . +Okay , then you need a deck with a guardrail . +I don't like things to be fancy . +Don't worry . I will build your deck with a simple but classic look . +Hmm , that's good . Can you use cedar or redwood to build it ? +Cedar is a good choice . +Well , let's take the measurements right now . +Are you tired ? +Not really . +It's late.It ' s high time I left.Thank you for a most wonderful evening . +Don't mention it . +Good night then ! +Good night ! +I'm going to try sky diving this weekend . +I wouldn't do it if I were you . +It's sounds like fun . +It's very dangerous , you know . +I want to try something exciting . +It's an easy way to get hurt , let me tell you . +I'll tell you all about it next Monday . +Well , take care of yourself , and don't say I didn't warn you . +Joan is a thorough drag ! +What is it ? +She keeps talking when I'm reading . +There must be something wrong with her . +The results of the poll show Bill Clinton's approval rating has gone up in his second term . Do you find that interesting ? +Well , I think Clinton deserves high marks for doing his job generally , but he may get low marks for his honesty and personal image . +That is exactly what the poll shows . Although the stating of Clinton as a person has gone down in the last two years of his term , his approval rating is as high as 66 percent . +I don't find this surprising . The poll data sound quite right . He is a good president . +But the poll says only 15 percent say he will be remembered as an outstanding president . +What courses are you taking ? +Chinese , maths , English , chemistry , physics , biology and so on . +What do you think about the teachers ? +To be honest , I like most of them , except for my Chinese teacher . She is quite young , but her class is too boring ! +That's too bad . Do you have any foreign teachers ? +Yes , my oral English teacher is an American . He is from a small town in California . +What is he like ? +He is great . He always tells us not to study for exams , and to pay more attention to communication rather than just memorizing . +Are you able to follow him ? +Not everything , but nearly . He speaks very clearly . +Oh , that's good ! He sounds like a good teacher . +Absolutely ! If you come to our class , I am sure you will like him . +How do I apply to an American university ? +You should go to the library to find some information about American universities , and write to the Admission Office . Then the Admission Office will send you application forms and other related materials . From experience , many applicants write to several universities instead of just one . +I was told that it took a lot of time and effort to apply . +That is true . I ’ ll list for you the requirements of almost all the universities . First of all , you need official transcripts of your undergraduate work , three letters of recommendation from your professors who know your competence , and the official TOEFL ( Test of English as a Foreign Language ) score ( It ’ s usually 550 ) . Then you need a financial guarantee , and an application fee of 25 dollars . +What's to come next ? +If they agree to enroll you , they will send you a TAP - 66 Form . With TAP - 66 , you can apply for a passport from our government , and then apply for a visa from the US . Embassy in Beijing . +How long will it take to go over all the procedures ? +From 3 to 6 months if everything goes well . +Thank you . I appreciate your help . +You are welcome . Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions . +Good morning . I ’ m from the new york book review . Could I ask you some question about your latest book ? +Sure . Take a seat ... what would you like to know ? +First , I ’ Ve heard that your latest book is based on a true story . +That ’ s correct . It ’ s a murder mystery based on actual murders that book place in florida several years ago . The main character-the police invesigator-is based on the man who investigated the case . +How do you research your books ? +I always visit the places that I use as setting for stories . Readers like things to be as factually correct as possible-even in fiction ! I usually base my characters on people I have met . Most charact +I really like your books . I ’ Ve just finished this one . I read it from cover to cover in a single day . Congratulation on making the bestseller list yet again ! +Thank you . Let met sign it for you ... there you go . +Oh ! Thank you very much . I heard that you are currently writing a collection of short stories . What are the stories about ? +There ’ s a real mix of stories in the book . I haven ’ t finished all of them yet , though . Many of them are short detective stories , but there are also horror stories and sci-fi ones . If you give me your +Thanks very much . I ’ m sure it will sell well . I can ’ t wait to read it . Here ’ s my card . Thank you for you time . +This is my friend Jenny . +What's her last name ? +It's Snow . +What color are her eyes ? +They're blue . +What color is her hair ? +It's brown . +How old is she ? +She's 42 . +I like watching comedies , like ' Boat ' . Do you like watching comedies too ? +Not really , I like watching horror movies , like ' The Unborn . ' +You like horror movies ? I don't like them because they're too scary ! I like comedies because I love to laugh . +I like horror movies because I like to be scared . +Good morning . Is this where I can get a library card issued to me ? +No problem , we have a short form right here ; just hand it to me when you are done . +I'm done . +That looks great , but I will also need your driver's license or other form of I . D . +Sure , here it is . +Well , this looks nice . Do you know how to use it ? +I am pretty sure how to use it , but can you remind me ? +Of course , just remember that all of the needed information is on the card . +I see . +Well , I hope you have a wonderful time on your library visits ! +When did you and Amanda meet each other ? +I met her about one year ago . +So you met her right after you got to school ? +That's right . We've been dating since last September . +Do you like snakes ? +Of course not . I'm afraid of them . +I mean , do you like snake meat ? +I'm afraid I'll feel sick at the sight of it . +What do you do in your spare time ? +During the weekend I often take the family out on short trips . +That sounds interesting . +Yes , it helps me to relax . +Do you have any hobbies ? +I like to paint .  +What kind of things do you paint ? +Mainly seascapes . +What kinds of sports do you like ? +I like almost all sports , and I enjoy both playing and watching . I especially like tennis and mountain climbing . I was in the climbing club all through school . +Hi , Mary , it ’ s been a long time . +Hello , my old friend . Long time no see . How are you doing ? +Well , I ’ m doing okay . And how about yourself ? +Not so well . To be honest with you , I broke up with Tom . +Oh . I ’ m sorry to hear that . What happened ? +What can I help you with today ? +I need to check out this book . +Do you have your library card ? +I don ’ t have one . +Would you like to apply for one right now ? +That ’ s fine . +I ’ m going to need you to fill out the application . +All right . All done . +All right , now please sign the back of the card . +Okay . I ’ Ve signed it . +That ’ s all there is to it . +Great . Now can I check out this book ? +How's your time spent in the United States ? +Well , pretty good . +I'm glad to hear that . What impressed you most ? +Well , the cultural differences impressed me most . +You mean we Chinese think differently from the Americans ? +That's right , quite different . One day one of my American friend looked pale , so I asked him whether he was sick or not . But he was reluctant to answer my question . +That's weird . +And what's more , when he told me he had caught a cold for several days , I suggested him to go to the hospital as soon as possible . +You really cared about your friend . +Sure I am . But he responded by saying'what do you mean ? ' . +I'm confused . Why did he say that ? +I felt the same at first . Later he told me that I'd better not give him any suggestions when he was sick . Offering unsolicited help or advice is like showing sympathy to the weak or the poor . But back in China , helping others is always regarded being kind . +Absolutely . Now I understand why he responded that way . +He has so many friends supporting him . +And he himself is very diligent . Considering all these , I think he has the ball at his feet . +But he has to stick to it and to it long enough . +It's time to leave the office for the night . Firstly I log off my computer , then I set the electronic security system . +That's pretty advanced . +Now I'll quickly send a short message to my wife and take the elevator down to the basement . +Is that where you park ? +Yes , the car park is under constant video surveillance , so my car is quite safe . Please get in . +Thank you . Where is your key ? +There's no need , I have keyless entry , and the steering wheel recognizes my finger prints before starting the car . Now , we can look at the navigation system to find the best route home . +That's amazing , it even shows all the roads that are congested at the moment . +Using GPS I can rely on this to direct me home . Now I just need to find my E-Card to automatically open the gate and we can drive out . +Pretty soon cars will be driving themselves . +Maybe , but in the meantime why not help me find the remote control for my garage door ? +Here it is , and here we are . +When I turn off my home alarm , the house will automatically tum on the lights and set the climate to a comfortable level . +I have to get home , but I don't need all of this fancy technology , I think I'll just walk . +Have any plans for the weekend , Tom ? +Yeah , I ’ m going for a hike in the southern Rocky Mountains . +Oh , do you go hiking often ? +I go as much as I can . I love hiking because you can really get in touch with nature . +It would be nice to get out of the city . Do you want some company ? +Sure . But , it will be a long hike , 30 miles in three days . Have you been hiking before ? +Yeah , I go a lot too . I saw a bear and a mountain lion on my last hike . +Wow ! You must have been pretty far away from the city . +Yeah , my friend and I hiked in a very wild part of the national forest . +Well , bring him along too . We ’ ll have a great time this weekend . +Thanks , I ’ ll ask him . +Miss Wang , would you mind my asking you a personal question ? +No , not at all . Go ahead . +Are you married ? +Yes . Is that so important ? +Frankly yes . We like to employ married people . By the way , do you have any children ? +Yes , I have a three-year-old son . +Hello . +Mark , this is Lucy . +What's up ? +I have a friend . He is my best friend and he wants to learn English . He would pay about 100 yuan per hour . Are you interested ? +I don't know . +So I take it you are not interested . +No , Lucy . Don't get me wrong . I mean school will be open on Sept . 2nd , and I will have a very tight schedule by then . +Don't worry . My friend says he can always arrange his schedule around your schedule . +That will be fine . When can I see him ? +Let's do it this way . I'll take him to your place this Saturday . Then you two can make a schedule . +Make sure you come here before noon . I will be picking up my friend at the airport in the afternoon . +How are you going to get there ? +By bus , of course . +I am sure my friend can give you a ride . +Great . By the way , what does your friend do ? +He is a lawyer . +Ok , see you then . +See you . +He ’ s got laid off again . I do feel sorry for him . +Do you really ? +What do you mean ? +Well , I just think he deserves it . +Could you tell me something about the Mid-Autumn Festival ? I find it also very interesting . +OK . It falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month . It is said that there is a beautiful goddess Chang'E on the moon who had eaten some sort of elixir and had to depart her husband . She is always expecting to see her husband again . So , later we have the traditional idea that when there is the full moon , it is time for the family members to come together . +So , I understand why people eat moon cakes on that day . +You are right . In China , ' round ' is an auspicious word . The moon cakes are in round shape . +Is it official ? +It was not in the past . But from 2008 , we can enjoy a three-day holiday for this festival . +Good morning , Miss . +Morning . Can I help you ? +Yes , I'd like to know how to use the library . You know , I'm a new student here . +All you need is your student identification card to check out books . +Yes.Here ' s my identification . +That's all you need . +Thank you very much . By the way , how many books am I allowed to check out ? +You can check out two books at a time . But you can't check out newspapers , magazines and periodicals ; they have to be read within library . +How long can I keep the books ? +For two weeks . After that you must renew the books if you wish to keep them longer . +I want a book on physics . Could you show me where I can find it ? +Yes , over there to your left . +I think this one will do . +I'm sorry . I don't think so . +Why ? What's wrong with it ? +It's much too hard for his age . +Have you heard that we will have reorganization ? +No , really ? +Yes , flexible , aggressive and creative people are urgently needed in the marketing department . +Who will be there ? +James is going to be packed off there . +That is good . He can leave you alone this time . +Mrs . Smith , you are always worried about your children . +They are my own flesh and blood . It ’ s hard for me to see them suffering . +That ’ s human nature . +Happy birthday , Lillian . Here's a little present I bought for you . +Thank you , Paul . +Hi Isabel ! You wanted to see me ? +Yes Anthony , come on in . Have a seat . +Is everything okay ? You seem a bit preoccupied . +Well , Anthony , this is not going to be an easy conversation.The company has made some decisions which will have a direct impact on your employment . +Okay ... +I don ’ t want to beat around the bush so I ’ m just gonna come out with it . We are going to have to let you go . +What ? Why ? I mean ... just like that ? I ’ m fired ? +I ’ m sorry but , to be honest , you are a terrible employee ! +What ! I resent that ! +Anthony , you were caught making international calls from the office phone , you called in sick in eight times this month and you smell like alcohol ! +Have you heard about Anlesen David ? +No , have they have another fight ? +No , they got engaged . +You must be joking . Those two ? +Well , my dear . I didn't believe either . But got it straight form the horse's mouth . David called me this morning . +So when did all this happen ? +Last weekend , while they were on the Sik trip . +Well , I believe it now , and when are they are getting married ? +Next June . +I can hardly believe it . +How about going to dance this evening , Jane ? You will find that the night life of this city is very interesting ! +Good idea . There is a good nightclub nearby , isn't it ? +Yes , the dance hall is nice with various styles of music . +( In the club ) Look at those people in the dance floor , they are so crazy . +That's rock and roll with fast tempo . +I like the slow dance . I am good at rumba and waltz . +Take it easy . The time for slow dance is the middle part of the party . +Let's find a quiet seat and sit down for beverage . +OK , follow me . +Listen , it is waltz . I like the elegant step of the old styles . +May I ? +Sure . +( When they are dancing ) You dance gracefully ! +Tom , you promised to cut the lung . You won't forget , will you ? +No , I assure you . +And you'll repair the television , won't you ? +Ok . +Do you promise ? +Of course . +And Tom , you will help Johnny with his homework , won't you ? +I'll see . I will if I can but I won't promise . +But you'll promise not to be late for dinner tonight , won't you ? +Yes . But only if you ask me nicely . +Tom , darling . You'll try not to be late for dinner tonight , won't you ? Please ! +Ok . I'll keep my promise . +How did Jim get the money ? +He borrowed it from Nick . +He must be mad ! Nick is a loan shark . +He was too desperate to find some other way . +Too much , Harry . Don't blame her anymore . +But it was her that makes us so embarrassed . +I know . But there's no point in making her feel worse , isn't there ? +I don't care . +My goodness ! You ’ re kidding ! +No . I ’ m serious . I ’ m going to quit my job . +That ’ s amazing ! You got a good pay here , didn ’ t you ? +It ’ s true . But I can ’ t show my abilities . +Come on ! Don ’ t be silly ! +Your present job is something better . Why do you change ? +Well . How do you know ? +But Sue is indeed beaut . Men can hardly resist such a knock-out . +Birds of feather flock together . You must be one of these men . +I know little of her . I only think she ’ s pretty and intelligent . Of course , she ’ s diligent , too . +That ’ s enough for you to worship the ground she treats on . +I wish I knew who had moved our flower pots . +It was me . I am so sorry . +What did you think you were doing ? +I had to move it , so that I can get my bike through . +How dare you be so inconsiderate ? That's wrong . +I am awfully sorry . I didn't think you would mind so much . +Never do that again . +I promise . +She is so beautiful , isn't she ? +Who ? +Julia Roberts . +Yeah , she is so charming . I like her , too . +It's said that her new movie is going to come out . +What's the movie about ? +I'm not sure . +Isn't it silly to see a movie that you know nothing about ? +I already told you , because Julia Roberts is in it . I like her because she is not only a great actor but also is very generous to give a lot to many kinds of charities . +Yeah , she is great . I also admire her for her concern about society . +I hope the teacher decides to curve our test grades . +I wouldn't count on it . +She did last time . +Yes , but I'll bet she won't again . +Could you tell me how to use the library ? +Sure . All you need is your student ID card or admission card to check out books and read journals or magazines in the library . +How many books am I allowed to check out at a time ? +Two books at a time . Except magazines or journals , they have to be read within library . +How long can I keep the books ? +For one month . If you can ’ t return the books in time , you'll be fined . But if you renew them , you can keep them longer . +I see . Now I want to check out two books on spoken English . Can you show me where I can find them ? +Yes , just over there to your right . +Thank you very much . +You ’ re welcome . +How did you do that ? +It was a piece of cake . +That new Sony camcorder you've got is just beautiful . +Yeah.It is the very latest in digital video cameras . +I can see digital video products are quickly going mainstream with their plunging price . +Getting cheaper is not the only reason for their popularity.They come with a lot of inviting functions . +Such as ? +They offer clearer and sharper images . Many of them also have up to 20x optical zoom lenses , a photo mode and fast-action mode . +They are very compact and are designed to be used with one hand . +Right ! Anyway , the basic difference between a digital camcorder and its traditional counterpart is that it speaks digital . +What does this mean ? +This means digital camcorders can be connected with the digital equipments you have at home , like your digital TV or your computer . +I can transfer my home video clips from my camcorder to my computer for editing . +Sure ! And without any conversion process or loss of quality ! You quickly find , cut , and record video segments and create slide shows . Some camcorders even offer editing software for adding titles and special effects . +What special effects ? +Like creating a sepia tone look and some special effects such as fades and dissolves . +That's great ! +With the development of the broad band Internet , you can easily upload your video files to websites or e-mail them to relatives or business partners . +So everybody's getting video mail . +Hi , David ! What are you doing ? +Oh , just looking at these club notices . I'm thinking of joining one . Hey-why don't we join a club together ? How about the Tennis Club ? +Actually , I'm not good at tennis at all ... +Neither am I . It's just that the best-looking girls are in that club . +Oh , come on . That's no reason to do something you're not interested in . +Well ... What are you interested in ? +How about the Classical Music Club ? +Joanna , give me a break . +Hey-how about the Cinema Club ? +Sounds OK to me . I like movies . Hey , Joanna , look - there are a lot of decent-looking guys here . And the club jackets - they're really hot ! I think we made the right choice ! +Either we'll be millionaires , or we won't ... won't have a dime . +And it's all coming down to the next three weeks . +The only person who seems confident the software will be done on time is Zina . +Yeah , she is some kind of Superwoman , isn't she ? +Failure just isn't an option for her . I'm glad she's on our team . +So , Monica , what do you feel like doing this afternoon ? +Actually , I had a perfect plan for this afternoon , but it is totally ruined by the sand storm . I woke up this morning and found it was sunny . So I called Lucy and asked her to go shopping with me . We were going to look for a new purse . Now it turned out to be like this . Neither of us wants to go to outside anymore . +That ’ s too bad . I hate sand storms too . It can be worse than any kind of bad weather . +What ’ s wrong with climate ? Anyway , I think the sand storm happens more frequently these days than the years before . Can ’ t people do something to stop it ? +It is not an easy job . The government is working on it . Lots of trees have been planted in the north of the capital . Also , methods of generating rain are being used by the government to fight against the drought . But of course , it will not work overnight . So , have you come out with a new plan for today ? +My new plan is to wait for the end of the sand storm and clean my apartment . +May I help you ? +I would like to return this book . +May I do anything else for you ? +I would also like to check out this magazine . +I can ’ t let you do that . +Why is that ? +Our policy doesn ’ t allow anyone to check out the magazines . +What things am I allowed to check out ? +You are only allowed to check out books or videos . +I really need to check out this magazine . +I ’ m sorry , but that ’ s our policy . +That ’ s stupid . +I've heard that Tom is going to move . +What ? Are you sure about that ? +Yeah , he is going to move next month . +Where is he going ? +He is going to Canada and to live with his son . +What a pity ! +Why did you say that ? It's a good thing for him to live with his son . +I know that . But it's pity for us to lose such a good neighbour . You know I always appreciate Tom's company . +Me too . But anyway we hope he lives happily in the future . +Have a nice Thanksgiving ! +The same to you ! +Are you going anywhere ? +I thought about going to my sister's . How about you ? +Oh , I'll probably just stay at home . +Have you noticed the Mexican restaurant on the other side of this street ? +You mean the one with the yellow bricks ? But last time I saw it , it wasn ’ t really in business yet . I saw some people inside furnishing the rooms . Is it open now ? +Yes , someone give me a pamphlet introducing the restaurant and its business hours when I passed by this morning . So , let ’ s have a try . My treat . +Great , I like the idea of trying some new food . +Good for you . Today we have more chances to try some new food because there are now many new form restaurants in our city coming from places all over the world . +Also some traditional Chinese food , like noodles and dumpling are marketed in modern ways with improved food quality . I heard this year , the government has imposed very stringent inspection on the hi-gene conditions restaurants and suppliers of food are also under tighter control . For sure all the customers will benefit from this . +Steve . Is that you ? +Yeah . What's going on ? +Not much . What a surprise to see you here . +Yeah . It's been a couple of months since I saw you . +What have you been up to ? +I just started working out . +Really ? Where do you work out at ? +I joined the Samsung Health Club last month . +What do you mostly do during your workout ? +I concentrate mostly on my legs , chest , arms and stomach . +I should start exercising more . +It's hard work while exercising , but it is a great feeling when I get done . +I have a running machine at home . I used to use it , but I already got sick of it . +Exercising at home is hard . The environment is not suited for exercising . +If I want to exercise , I will need to join a gym . +I have a couple of guest passes . You want to check out my health club ? +That's a good idea . Let's go over the weekend . +Great . I'll call you Saturday morning . +Aright . I'll talk to you later . +Ok . Bye . +Anything interesting in this city ? +We have a beautiful natural park . +It's worth the time . +Come on.Let ' s walk there . +Is there anything wrong ? +I ’ m worried about my daughter . She can ’ t decide about college . +Don ’ t worry . That ’ s just a part of being a teenager . +I don ’ t mind that . But she disagrees with me about everything . +You should encourage her to make up her mind by herself . You shouldn ’ t affect her decision . +But I just want to give her some tips . +Oh , she can make her own decisions . +Merry Christmas , Lily . +The same to you , Joey . +This is your first Christmas in the US . Here is the gift for you . +It's very thoughtful of you . Wow , it is so beautiful . Could you tell me how American people celebrate Christmas ? +Ok . People decorate their houses , place a Christmas tree in the room and maybe sing a Christmas carol together . +The teacher should give us more time to complete this assignment . +You're right . Let's ask her to give us one more week . +Good evening . I've come to see Miss Morrison +Oh ! Good evening . I'm sorry , but she is not in . She's gone out to the theatre +Oh ! I've just come back from Canada and I've brought a parcel from her parents +Please come in +But you're busy , aren't you ? +I was preparing my supper but I've finished now . +I can leave the parcel with you , can't I ? +Oh ! yes +Brad , wait ! +What ? +How come you have a locker but I don't ? +Mr . Rogers probably forgot to assign a locker to you . +I had to carry my backpack with me all day . +Remind him to give you a locker tomorrow . +Does it have a lock ? +No . You have to buy your own . You'll have to go to a hardware store to pick one up . +You didn't tell me she was married ! +I tried . You were preoccupied . +I got carried away . I made such a fool of myself . They were both laughing at me ! +You got drunk , and you were hilarious . Lighten up . +That guy was definitely a Don . +So now you can say you had a mafia experience . Ha-ha . +Yeah . If I leave Little Italy alive ... +Are you kidding ? Don had fun scaring you . He'd probably buy you dinner if we go back . +Who is this on the water buffalo ? +That's my grand-father . He was a farmer . When he was young , he had to take the water buffalo to graze in the field . +Oh yes , that was the best job in most farm families . That's where many of them learned to play the flute . +My grandfather did that too . He used the time to study instead . +That's interesting . Go on ! +My grand grandfather was a merchant who ran a small business . He couldn't afford to send my grand father to school . +So he became a self-taught man ? +Right . Later he was a soldier and a fireman in the village . When he was middle aged , he became a great man , quite famous . +In what field ? +As a leader of police officers in charge of the whole country . +Is he still in that that type of work . +No . He retired from that . He is a senator now . +Would you want to be a senator ? +Well , maybe when I get old . But first I'll be a lawyer . +I am not certain , but I think I might ask to be considered for the new job . +Why are you considering trying for it ? +I think that I might like it , but I am still thinking about it . +What is it about this job that appeals to you ? +I think that I would enjoy the position but there isn't a lot of creativity involved . +Yes , you could be right . There is a lot to consider . +I am also wondering about the pay . +Would a slight decrease in pay be worth it for a new opportunity for growth ? +I am thinking that might be the case . +I think you should give it a shot . What do you have to lose ? You can always change your mind . +I was just thinking to call you , then the phone rang and it was you calling me . +Great minds think alike . +Hello , Kevin . I hate to do this , but I have to cancel our appointment . +Oh , no ! Why ? I was looking forward to seeing you at my new place . +Yeah , I really wanted to come , too . But something unexpected in shanghai have come up . I have to fly out for a few days , but I'll be back soon . +No problem.Call me when you get back . +I should have some free time next week . Say , next Wednesday evening ? +That's good for me , but do you think you'll be back by then ? I'd really like to see you . +Yeah , I'm expecting to come back on Tuesday . +Great ! That's settled then . +OK . +Look at this , A Brief Introduction of Hollywood . +Hackneyed theme ! +What ? How much do you know Hollywood ? +Nearly everything . +You are full of boasts . I can examine you by question and answer . What is Hollywood ? Where is it ? What is the function of it ? +Too easy questions . Listen carefully . Hollywood is the movie capital of the world.It is located in southern California . Many films have been made there , and the kinds have changed often . +Not bad . What kind of film did it produce from the ready to mid 1930 ' s +Gangster movies . Movie-goers at that time could get a look at the people involved in crime and their violent activities by watching it . +Mm . What came after that ? +After all that violence , people needed to laugh , so from the mid-to-late l940 ' s , many detective movies about policemen who solved crimes were made . Then came musicals . +Pretty good . Please continue . +Right . By the mid - 50 ' s , this light-hearted genre was competing with films about more serious subjects . There was one kind that could be found throughout all of these years , and that was the , mm , the . . . +The western films about America's cowboys , Indians and early settlers . +Come on . +Since the early 1960 ' s , there are horror movies about people who encounter frightening , unnatural situations , and serious films such as documentarist about events that actually happened , and science fiction movies about possible friture and future worlds . Some people have also enjoyed watching psycho-dramas about the everyday problems that people have . +Any more ? +Of course , no list of film would be complete without animated movies . These are especially popular among children . +Hi , Bob . Can I have the book back I lent to you last month ? +Oh ! I forgot all about it . Of course you can have it back , John . I'm sorry about the delay . +Well , it doesn't matter . I almost forgot it too if it is not for Peter who asked me about it this coming . +Excuse me . May I use the phone first ? +Are you in a hurry ? +You bet . I was supposed to call my mother an hour ago . +In that case , here , you go first . +Oh , it's getting late . I've got to run.It was nice talking to you , karren . +Thanks , Tim.Nice meeting you , too . +I guess we'll see just around . +Ye , I hope so.well.Take it easy . +You too . +How good are you at sports , Bill ? +Are you kidding ? I ’ m terrible ! But I love to watch sports . I go to football or baseball games a lot . And I read sports magazines every week . +Wow ! +Do you like sports , Janice ? +Oh , yes . I like to exercise . But I don ’ t watch sports or buy sports magazines . I don ’ t have much time to do those things . +Oh , I see . You know , we spend time doing different sports . How much time do you spend exercising ? +Well , I guess I exercise about two hours a day . I do aerobics three times a week , and the other days I play badminton 1 with my husband . I always feel good afterward . +That ’ s great ! I ’ Ve heard people say that before . +Well , why don ’ t you try to get some exercise ? It ’ s difficult , but very rewarding . +Oh , I ’ m too lazy to play sports , and I ’ m not good at anything either . It hardly excites me . +Alice , your father is amazing . He ’ s 90 years old and he lives alone in that big house . +I know . He doesn ’ t like to ask anyone for help . My dad insists on paying his own bills and taking care of himself ! +That sounds like my Grandmother . She was always stubbornly independent . +It seems that folks like my father and your grandmother are determined to be on their own . +They see their independence as a kind of character strength . +Sometimes they are too independent . +This little wooden stick is called a tee . +What do you do with it ? +For the first drive , put the golf ball on the tee , and push the tee into the ground . +Okay . +Pick up a wood and hold it like this , interlocking your fingers . +OK . +Position yourself , swinging the club , watch the ball and hit it as hard as you can . +Hey ! +Not too bad . The goal is to get the ball into the hole with as few hits as possible . +Got it . +Excuse me . Is anyone sitting here ? +No , nobody . +You don ’ t mind if I smoke , do you ? +Well , to be frank , yes , I do . +Oh , I ’ m sorry . But this isn ’ t a no-smoker , is it ? I mean would you mind if I smoke here ? +Actually it is . Perhaps you haven ’ t noticed the sign . +Sign ? What ’ s sign ? +There , on the window . +Oh , sorry . I didn ’ t notice it . Sorry . +That ’ s all right . +Are the ceremony and reception held in the same place ? +No , not usually . Most people are married in a church , and then the wedding party and guests go to another place for the reception . Sometimes , however , they hold the reception in a big room in the church . +Where do they go ? +Either they go to a public place such as a hotel , a restaurant , or a club , or to the home of the brid +They go to the home of the bride ? +Why do you ask ? +The Chinese custom is to go to the groom's home-just the opposite . +Oh ! In our country the bride's family is responsible for the entire wedding-arrangement , costs , etc . So the reception is held at her home . +That's very expensive for the family of the bride . +Many American furthers joke that they would rather hold the ladder for their daughter to climb down and elope than pay for a wedding . +Tell me something about the bridal bouquet . Isn't it the custom to throw it ? +Yes . When the bride and groom are ready to leave on their honeymoon all the single girls gather in one place . The bride stands with her back to them and throws her bouquet over her shoulder and they each try to catch it . The one who does will be the next one married . +Maybe I'll be the one . +Guess what I just heard ? +What ? +The boss is planning to sell the company . +You must be joking ! +And the cover is great ! The colors are brilliant ! +Give me a break . You don't care about the colors . You just like the hot babe on the cover . +OK , you got me . So , do you have a subscription ? +Of course . I'm currently the subscriber of 10 different fashion magazines . +So what do you do with all the out-dated issues ? +I guess I'm lending them to you ... +I've moved . +Where to ? +We're going out to dinner and then to the movies . +Hold on ! I can't afford to pay for both . +Don't worry . I've got money . It's my treat . +Gee , that's really nice of you . +Hi , Kenji . +Hi , Debbie . Have a seat . How's it going ? +I'm OK . How are you doing ? +Pretty good . Listen ... have you heard about the new Thai restaurant over on University Avenue ? +Do you mean The Bangkok ? +That's the one . A bunch of us are going there for dinner tomorrow night.How about coming with us ? +Sure , I'd love to . +Great . I'll call and make reservations . +Any time after 6 o'clock is good for me.Oh ! I'm late ! I have a class . +All right . I'll call you tonight and tell you the time . +Great . Talk to you then . +Mr . Lee , I was wondering if you and your wife had plans for next Friday night ? +Yes , I think we might be free . What did you have in mind ? +I've mailed a formal written invitation to your home inviting you to a dinner party at my home . +That sounds great . Is it casual ? +Actually , we thought it would be fun to have a formal sit-down dinner for the holidays . +That sounds good . It will give my wife a chance to dress up . +Yes , we've invited four other couples , so it should be a good mix of people . +That sounds wonderful . Will there be anyone there that I know ? +Oh yes , everyone we are inviting is from our company . +Great ! I'll look forward to it . We'll make sure and check the mail for our invitation . +Do you know who that tall man is ? +I don ’ t know . But he must be a big shot . +Why ? +Because everyone is trying to butter him up . +You are blue in the face , arn't you ? +The cat has eaten my fish , I'll kill it . +But supposing your son killed like the fish , what do you think then ? +I'll beat him . +So beat the cat , but don't kill it . +Did you go to see Michael last night ? +Yes , He had just bought a new motorcycle . +Did he let you ride it ? +Yes , I tried it and I quite liked it . +Weren ’ t you frightened ? +Sure . But I still liked it . +Would you like to buy a motorcycle yourself ? +No . Although motorcycle is nice , I ’ d like to buy a bicycle . +But why ? Since you like it so much . +Because bicycles are safer . +I passed history test . +Really ? That ’ s marvelous ! +And then you ’ re old man won ’ t be beaten this time . +I ’ Ve made up my mind not to be beaten again . +Mr.Ben , What do you think of the book ? +It's an excellent one . I like it very much . +Why ? +It includes a lot of useful words and phrases . +I agree with you . +How do I buy my textbooks ? +Do you have your book list for your class ? +Yes , I have my list . +Fine . Once you have it , you can go to the bookstore . Do you know where that is ? +Yes , I know where the bookstore is . +OK , so once you pass the gym , it's the first door on your left . Do you know you can also sell your used textbooks there ? +No , I didn't know I could do that . +You just take them with you and trade them with the used textbook man just outside the door . Do you think you will be going there today ? +Yes , I am going today . +Well , if you decide to go , I could meet you over there at 1 +Yes , thank you . That would be great . +Well , then , I'll talk to you later . Have a good day ! +Is there anything wrong with your food this evening , Miss ? +Sorry to trouble you . But I don't think this fish is fresh . It actually tastes a bit off . +Sorry , Miss . I'll place it immediately , can I get you another drink , or you wait ? +No , please don't do that . I'd just like to return it . +I'm sorry , Miss , but I'm afraid we can't do that . You'll order something else instead . I'd love to suggest the steak , it's the special today , and quite tasty . +Ok , then please bring me the steak mediun-rare , thank you . +Ok , Miss . I hope you enjoy the rest of your dinner . +Bill . Bill ! You gotta help me ! +What ’ s wrong ? Slow down or you are gonna give yourself a heart attack . +Tomorrow is Christmas and I haven ’ t bought my mom anything ! I ’ m such a bad son ! +Take it easy ! Let ’ s go to the mall , window shop a little and see if there is anything she might like . +That ’ s just it ! I don ’ t know what to get her ! Last year I got her a ring that was two sizes too big and a pair of shoes five sizes too small ! I suck at getting presents for people . +That ’ s where you ’ re making a big mistake ! You can ’ t just guess peoples ’ likes or sizes ! Especially with clothes or jewelry . On top of that , I think that you should get your mom something that shows how much you love her . At the same time you should show her that you took the time and effort to look for something that she would really like ! +Yeah , you ’ re right . When it comes down to it , I can be pretty tacky . +Yeah , tell me about it . I know ! Your mom is trying to learn Spanish , right ? Why don ’ t you get her a gift certificate for this great website I saw called SpanishPod . +Now that ’ s a great idea ! +Do you do morning exercises ? +Yes . I do one set of shadow-boxing every morning after I get up . +Shadow-boxing ? How interesting ! Do you think it really helpful for your health ? +Definitely . It not only keeps me fit but also helps me concentrate on my soul . +He loves that blonde girl . +Yes , he once gave her seven roses . +Did she accept it ? +No way to know . +Would you recommend some places for sightseeing ? +How about Great Canyon ? +Is it worth seeing ? +Of course ! It's the most wonderful natural works . +I just got a telegram from Margaret and Greg . +Are they coming to Chicago again ? +Yes . They ’ re coming the beginning of August . +Oh , good ! We can all get together again . +I ’ m glad they ’ re coming in August . Maybe Greg and I can play some golf or get tickets to a baseball game . +And Margaret and I can take the dog and go jogging in the park . +Remember the garden party they gave when we were in England ? +Oh , yes . We all sat on the grass , and Margaret played the guitar and sang Greek songs . +I had a great time . It ’ ll be good to see them again . +Did you punch in ? +Yes . By the way , you are having a great make-up today . I like the color of your lipstick . So adorable ! +Really ? It took me really a while to find the color . I am happy you like it . +Well , girls like us are happy to spend our time on those kinds of things . Actually , do we still have a meeting this afternoon ? +Sure , when those never ending meetings . +I like the kid . He's so lovely . +How old is he ? +Twelve . He's very sensible for his age . +John seems to be in high cotton . He may well become a big shot . +I bet my button dollar that he won't . He is no more than a nine day's wonder . +What is your idea ? +Many people like him get a flying start but soon disappear . +Hey . Owen ! Have you gone on your family vacation yet ? +Oh , yes . I got so tired . My son began to cry the moment we got on the train . It was very embarrassing because we took the over-night train and the noise made it difficult for other people in the cabin to sleep . +Didn't you bring his favorite toy ? +Yes , we did . Fortunately we put his Teddy Bear in the bag , and finally he fell asleep at mid-night with it in his arms . +Where did you go ? You've got a beautiful tan . +My wife didn't like to go to amusement parks , so we compromised and finally went to the seaside . I think vacation in summer is not good . +You must have had a great time . Most children love to play in the sand on the beach and go swimming . +Yes , he was every excited to see the blue sea and picked up many seashells to give as gift for his classmates in kindergarten . +His friends will be very happy to get the little souvenir . +And I taught him how to swim in the sea . It was fun and made him braver than before . After we returned home , he wasn't afraid to sleep alone in his bedroom . +This is going to surprise you , but I'm happy . I think you're making the right move . +You do ? +Look , maybe I shouldn't tell you this , but I'v going over to WebTracker , too . +No way ! That's great ! Then we'll still be together ! +Actually , I'm already working for WebTracker . Vince never wanted to give me what I was worth , so I figured , what the heck . +No kidding ! I can't believe this . You devil ! +It's kind of cool , isn't it ? I'm sort of like a secret agent . +Life's so boring . +Well , most of the time it is , I guess . +What do you think will make you happy ? +I think money will make me happy . +You heard people say that money doesn't guarantee happiness . +It will for me . Then I can do all the things I want to do . +You'll get bored eventually . +Then I can find something new to do . If I don't have to worry about money , then I don't have to work . +That's true , I guess . If I didn't have to work , I think I would be happy . +You see ... money doesn't equal happiness , but it takes away a lot of responsibilities . +Have you signed up to join the company ’ s Christmas party ? +Sure , I have . Will you join ? +I will . You know , as a newcomer , I think it might be a good opportunity to get to know people from the other departments of our company in a more relaxed atmosphere . +You are right . Our company ’ s Christmas party has always been an amazing occasion for everybody to relax and get to know each other better . It is also a time to make new friends and do some networking . +I hope that it is not a formal one when the boss is there . +No , it will not be formal at all . It is a fun time . You will love the game show . Please dress casually . Usually there is an over abandon of drinks , so be careful with that . +Don ’ t worry , I can handle that . And I know if the boss is there , even it is an informal evening , it does not make a good impression to get totally drunk in front of him . +My father ’ s angry face always makes my blood run cold . +You mean that he is bad-tempered and often gets angry with you . +Not often . Just when I make mistakes . +I have never you mention this friend . Are you on very good terms with him or her ? +We have been on good terms . She is a very nice girl . But she got in Dutch with her boss . I don ’ t have the heart to see her pounding the pavements . +You must be stuck on her , or you would not use your elbow grease . +Well , we hit it off with each other . Nothing more , nothing much . +Crossed cousin marriage is not allowed in China . +It it true of many countries . +You know why ? +Sure . If people are near in blood , they might pass on some genetic disease to the next generation . +Hello , Susan , it ’ s me , An . +Hi , An . How are you ? +I am fine . I am going swimming this afternoon . Are you coming with me ? +I am afraid I can ’ t this afternoon . I take my daughter to her tennis class at the club on Wednesday afternoons . +Maybe I can meet you at the club and we can play tennis together . +Ok , I'll meet you at the club at two thirty . +Do you have girlfriend ? +Yes , why ? +Well , I came to know a girl three weeks ago . We have so much in common . +So ? +So I think I may fall in love with her . +That sounds great . But how do you know that's a crush or a real love ? +Then what's the difference between having a crush and falling in real love ? +That's a big question . Well , if you're in love , maybe you will take every opportunity to talk to her or telephone her for no reason at all . +That's what I do . +And you think about her all the time ? +Yes . +And maybe you suddenly have new interests . I mean you suddenly begin to do things you used to avoid . For instance , you used to sleep in every morning , but because she jogs every morning then you begin to like jogging . +That's it . She likes dogs so much now , and I begin to love dogs . +Oh , congratulations . Sounds like you've found your soul mate . +Thanks , but I know falling in love is one thing while staying in love is another . +Yes , that's right . If you find this person becomes more and more important to you and you can totally trust her , then you can stay in love . +Yeah , falling in love is so good . +What book is that ? +I just bought a new atlas . I ’ m looking this map of the world . Look at Russia ! That ’ s a vast country . +Canada , China , and the USA are huge too . +There are several tiny countries in the world too . Countries like Monaco are smaller than many cities . +Those small countries are microscopic compared to Russia . European countries are relatively small . France looks quite big in Europe , but compared to many countries in other continents , it ’ s not very large at all . +Britain is half the size of france , but great Britain is still one of the largest islands in the world . +The thing with large countries is that often they have vast areas of land that are useless or hardly used . Russia and Canada have enormous areas of ice and forest . +So Peter , do you have a favorite comedy ? +Well , that's hard to say because there are so many good ones . I don't think I could pick a favorite . +You know what comedy I really like ? " Ace Ventura , Pet Detective . " I think Jim Carry is really funny . +Oh yeah , that's one of my favorite flicks . I think Jim Carry is one of the funniest comedians ever . +I agree . But even though I like comedies , I usually prefer more serious films . My favorite movie is " Titanic . " +How about a movie tonight ? +It doesn ’ t matter to me . +Does 7 o'clock suit you ? +Either way . I don ’ t care . +How about a snack after work ? +I couldn ’ t careless . +Would you rather stay home ? +Whatever you say . +Are you really interested in doing something ? +I don ’ t mind if you want to . +I'm going shopping . +Do you have enough money to buy that dress ? +No . I need to borrow $ 50 . +Sure , here you go . +Do you have any siblings ? +Yes , I do . I am the oldest child . I have a sister and a brother . My sister is in college and my brother in high school . +How do you get along with them ? +We get alone very well . +What do you think of the test ? +Rather difficult . How about you ? +It wasn't too bad . Were you nervous ? +Rather . I'm afraid I didn't do very well . +Oh , I wouldn't worry about it . +That's because you did well . +No , I wouldn't worry about you . +Why ? +It seems to me that you always do better than you say . +I think that the company retreat should be in the mountains this year . +What a great idea ! +January would be a good month for a mountain retreat . +I like the mountain idea , but I am not so sure about the month of January . +You know , now that I think about it , you might be right . +April might be nice . It is far enough away to make the necessary arrangements . +That is a good suggestion . +We could ask everyone what would be the best time for them . +Yeah , that would let us know what would work best . +I'll put the survey online this afternoon . +I think he won't remember White Day . +Silly , you should make sure he does . +Uh-huh . How about you ? +He ’ s buying me a handbag , and then dinner at a gorgeous restaurant . +You got a big return for a small gift . +You ’ ll never guess what ! My friends Julie and Alex are getting married ! +Wow that ’ s great news ! They ’ re a great couple ! +I know ! Anyways I just talked to Alex ’ s best man and he is organizing the bachelor party It ’ s gonna be so much fun ! All the groomsmen are thinking up all the wacky and crazy things we are going to do that night . +You aren ’ t going to a strip club , are you ? I don ’ t want you getting a lap dance from some stripper with the excuse that it ’ s your friends party . +Aw come on ! It ’ s just some innocent fun ! You know how these things are ! We are gonna play drinking games , get him some gag gifts and just have a good time . Nothing too over the top . +Well , I don ’ t know . +Come on ! If one of your friends was getting married I wouldn ’ t mind you going to her bachelorette party ! +Good , because my friend Wendy is getting married and I ’ m organizing her party ! +What ! +Hi , what ’ re you reading ? +Oh , it ’ s Death on the Nile . Have you read it ? +No , not that one . But I saw the movie . Could I borrow it when you finished ? +Sure . I didn ’ t know you like mysteries . +Oh , I ’ m crazy about them . +Our son is gone and my heart is gone too . I don ’ t know how to spend the rest of my years . +Oh , darling , we must stand shoulder to shoulder and face the music . I know you can pull yourself together . +I feel life is meaningless without him . +Cheer up . You have got me at least . +Hey , guys ! Did you see that sign ? +No . What did it say ? +There's a garage sale around the corner . +A garage sale ... that's where people check out cars , right ? +What ? Cars ? Are you serious ? +I'm pulling your leg , Paul . I'm a shopping queen , remember ? So of course I know what a garage sale is all about ! +It's amazing to me how international business has become . Take my store for example . On any given day , you will find imported items from more than 20 different countries on our shelves . +How many different varieties of products do you import from China ? +China provides the bulk of our product inventory , for sure . We import more than 40 different items from China . Most of the imports that come out of China are low-grade plastics or toys . Japan produces many electronic exports , Germany produces excellent mechanical exports . +Do you import any food items ? +Generally speaking , food items are difficult to import . Food with the short shelf life is liable to spoil in the time it takes to ship from one place to another . The only food items we import are specialty canned or preserved foods . The shelf life is longer for these products . +We still have one more day to go before we return home . What will we see tomorrow ? +No idea . We've enjoyed both the natural scenery and the city sights . What else is there to see ? +What about a factory tour ? +You mean visit a factory ? +Yes . I heard there's a lager motor company nearby which is open to the public every weekend . We can go to see how a car is manufactured and learn more about the automobile industry . +Good idea ! I've always been interested in that . How much is the entrance fee ? +I'm not sure , but as far as I know , most factory tours are free . They are sponsored by the company providing the tour . +Really ? What do the companies do that for ? +I believe most of them think it as good public relations . They can promote their product and make their company better-known . +Oh , ISEE . So factory tours are good for companies as well as visitors . +Exactly . +Do we need an appointment beforehand ? +I'll call the tourist information centre to check . +Here , Let me get the door for you . +Thanks . +Do you need a hand with that ? +Actually , i could you some help.Thank you so much . +Don't worry about it . +Are you still on your summer vacation ? +Yes . +When will school start ? +It'll start on lst September . +I just had a terrible week . +what a shame ! +I fell down and hurt my arm . +That's too bad . +Then my son drove into a tree . +I am sorry to hear that . +The dog bit the delivery boy . +What a pity ! +And a storm blew our roof away . +Ho , no ! +Good evening , Mr . Wu . +Good evening , Mr . Smith . +Have you met my wife , Mary ? +No . I haven ’ t had the pleasure . +Mary , this is Mr . Wu , my new Chinese friend . +How do you do , Mr . Wu ? Welcome . +How do you do ? +Have a glass of wine , Mr . Wu ? And let me introduce you to some of my guests . +This is my house.Let me show you around it . +How beautiful the detached house is ! +Follow me to the back-yard . +It's marvelous ! The lawn looks like a green carpet , and the garden with so many lovely flowers . +We had the grass cut and the flowers trimmed this morning . +No wonder it smells fragrant . +Here is the swimming pool and we can swim later . +It's fantastic ! +You mean it shuts off to save energy ? +Yep . And it breathes , see ! +It's not breathing ! +Yes , it is . Look at the little light ! It blinks off and on . +Jen , it's not alive ... but it does look user-friendly . +I would look so cool carrying this around ! +And you'd look so cool ! +Are you studying here ? +Yes , I am studying in Eastern Asian language department . +What are you majoring in ? +I major in Japanese . +What do you think of the literature course ? +It's very helpful . The course has let me into a new world of literature . I read so many great literatures . +Some people are easily flimflammed . +Maybe they are still wet behind ears . +They are blind with bucks . Blind people are more easily conned , fo course . +Sure . Many people , including men and women , and be easily ripped off . +Okay , let's begin . Hello , everyone . My name's Karl Roberts , and I'll be your teacher for this class , Intercultural Communication . +( quietly ) I don't understand what the teacher is saying . +Uh , to begin with , please take a look at the syllabus in front of you . As you all should know by now , this class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:50 . +That's terrible . He speaks too fast . How can I catch his meaning ? +Again , as you see on your course outline , grading is determined by your performance on a midterm and a final test , periodic quizzes , and classroom participation . +I'm not sure whether I can pass the course or not . +I heard that Janet has got a new job . She ’ s working for the united investment group . I heard that they pay very well . +I heard that too . She must be making a pocket . Well , good for her . +Now , she ’ ll be able to save up for that holiday in the united states . +Yes , she will . At the moment , the exchange rate is very favorable , so she should try to go as soon as possible , while it ’ s cheaper . +You ’ re right . By the way , did you hear that Tom inherited some money recently ? +Really ? I thought his parents had died several years ago . +They did . He inherited the money from an uncle . I hope he doesn ’ t lose a lot of it in taxed to the government . +Dying can be very expensive nowadays ! What ’ s he going to do with it ? +He said that he would probably invest most of it . He ’ s got a well-paid job , so he doesn ’ t need the money to cover day-to day expenses . He just wants some extra money available for when he retires . +I had some good financial news yesterday too . +Really ? Have you won a fortune in the lottery ? +No , but I got a pay rise of 5 % and a bonus for all the hard work I ’ Ve put in recently . I think it was very nice for my boss to show his appreciation in that way . +It certainly was ! So , what are you going to do with your windfall ? +Julia , I saw two men fighting beside our door this morning . +I know them . They are the two brothers living next door . +Brothers ? Do you know why they quarreled ? +It's said that the father's will caused the dissension among the two brothers . +Is there anybody acting as mediator in the dispute ? +No , everyone keeps in mind that ' Don't intrude in a family dispute ' . +I think I'm going to go home . +Why ? We just got here . +I know , but it's 12 +12 +Three or four o'clock ? +Yes . +I never stay out that late . That's too late . +But why is it too late ? It's Saturday night.You have nothing to do tomorrow . Why not stay out and drink with us ? +Were you so wild when you were still in Taipei , Sharon ? +Yes , I was . And I like living here.People know how to party here . In Taipei , some people know how to party.But here , everyone does . +What is that they're doing on the couch ? +They're smoking pot . Don't worry about it . +Pot ? Isn't that marijuana ? +Yes , it is . +But , Sharon , that's illegal ! The police could come , and we could go to jail . +Don't worry about it . It is true that pot is illegal in America.But the laws aren't as strict as in Taiwan.If people are arrested , and they have a little pot in their possession , they don't go to jail . They just have to pay a fine . +Really ? +Yes . +I didn't know you had such wild friends . Do you smoke marijuana too ? +I tried it a couple times . But I don't like it . I like alcohol better.Don ' t worry about them , though . If you don't want to smoke pot , you don't have to . +I don't want to . +That's alright . But you really should have another drink.People will probably start dancing soon . +I don't know if I can drink more . I already had two drinks . +You had two drinks at nine o'clock . C'mon , Ann , you are in an American university now ! You have to learn how to drink . +I thought a university was for studying . +It is . We study hard all week.And then , on the weekend , we party hard . That's the best way to live . +Alright . I'll have another drink . +Hi , Michael , how's it going ? +Well , things are all right . +I heard you got a new roommate . What's he like ? +Yeah , Bob moved in last week . He is a nice guy and so far everything is cool except this girlfriend . +Oh ? What's wrong with his girlfriend ? +She came over last weekend . She is a nice girl but there's something about her voice that really creeps me out . I tried to smile and be polite , but the whole time all I could think was " what's wrong with your voice ? " +Well , I guess it might take some time to get used to . +I doubt it . Last time was an oral train wreck . Listening to her talk is like chewing tin foil . +Oh come on , it's not that bad . +No , it's so much worse . And tonight they invited me out to dinner . I really have no idea how I'm going to pull it off . +Rough . Maybe you can do the most of the talking . +That's the plan . +Good luck . +Hey . Why did you take that money ? You are such a cheater ! I should send you to jail ! +I am not cheating . When you pass go , you collect $ 200 , Everyone knows that ! +Well you can ’ t just take the money . You have to ask the bank for money . And I ’ m the banker . +Banker ? +Yes ... +Can I have my $ 200 please ? +Sure . Here you are , $ 200 , Thank you , please come again ! Now it ’ s my turn to roll the dice . +Hello , is that Cathy speaking ? +Yes , is that you , Allen ? +Yes , how are you doing ? +Not bad . +Say I've got two tickets for the concert this evening.Would you like to come with me ? +Sure.Thank you very much . +Then I ' ll pick you up at six thirty.OK ? +Ok , see you . +See you . +David , do you think which team will get the champion tonight ? +It is hard to guess now . Both of the teams chose the excellent players this time . I guess the game will end in a tie . They are equally matched . +I am so nervous now . What a terrific game ! +Which side are you on ? +It's hard to say , because each team has my idols . +Wow ! AC wins . It is a close shave , you know . +I will never forget this match . The angle is so terrible and so correct . +What a good goal ! +There are lots of new teachers in our class this semester . +Yeah , so what do you think about the teachers ? +To be honest , I like all of them , except for the math teacher . Though he must be quite young , he seems like an old person . He's so boring . +I think so too . I don't like him either . Well , who do you like best ? +It might be the English teacher . What about you ? +Me , too . She speaks very clearly and doesn't use very complicated words so that it is easy for us to understand her . +She is a pretty good teacher ! With her help I think I can make great progress in English . +Yeah , I like her way of teaching . She told us not to cram for exams , and to pay more attention to communicating than memorizing . +I think it's a good way to develop our language ability . +Actually , our new math teacher is a good person . He just can't find an appropriate way to teach us . +Don't cover up your sadness . Let it go . +I'm sorry . +It isn't your fault . No one will blame you . +You are so thoughtful . +Can you recommend a resort to me ? +What about the Yellowstone National Park ? +Have you ever been there ? +Yes . The scenery is so breathtaking . +What is especially impressive ? +There are thousands of hot springs and fountains . The park is known for them . +Is there a waterfall ? +Yes . The well-known Yellowstone Waterfall is formed when the Yellowstone Lake falls down into the Yellowstone Canyon . +What an attractive place ! How can I get there ? +You can take No . 2 bus . +Bobby ! Come here , look what I got you ! +What is that ? +A chess board ! Daddy is going to teach you how to play ! +Cool ! +Ok , each player gets 16 pieces . You can be the white ones and I ’ ll play with the black pieces . Now in the front , you set up the pawns . Those are the least valuable pieces and can only move one space forward . When you are about to capture another piece , it can move one space diagonally . +What about all these other pieces ? +See this one that looks like a tower ? It ’ s called the rook . The one with the tall hat is called the bishop . See this little horsey ? This is called the knight , it ’ s a very important piece so it ’ s best to not let your opponent capture it . +And these two ? They are husband and wife ? +That ’ s right ! That ’ s the queen and that ’ s the king . If the other player captures your king , he will say Check Mate and the game is over ! Doesn ’ t this sound fun ? +Nah ! This is boring ! I ’ m gonna go play Killer Zombies on my PlayStation ! +Hello , Elitherbeth How are you ? +Fine , thanks . +Are you sure you ’ re alright . You look a bit worry today ? Is anything wrong ? +Well , Yes . There are something wrong actually . Perhaps you can give me some advice . +of course if I can . +Well , Last night when I returned from thetheatre I found I lost my wallet . +Oh dear . That ’ s terrible . What was in your wallet ? +Well , some money of course , a vise , all my identity cards and some photos . +Well , If I were you , I would go to the police station straight away and calling . +Yes , I have already done that and they already look for it . I ’ ll leaving soon and I need my vise and identity cards badly . +Oh dear . What a pity . Are you sure you lost your wallet in theatre ? +Yes , quite sure . +I think you should put an advertisement in china daily . Things where you lasted . +But that takes too long . +Wait a minute , My uncle lives in Beijing and he lives very close to theatre . I ’ Ve telephone here and ask him to go to theatre to require it . We ’ d better have breakfast now . and meet him later . +Well , it's too bad that we like different kinds of movies . Maybe we're just different kinds of people . +Yeah it's too bad ... but actually I think I know what to do . +What's that ? +We can go to a horror movie , and I'll hold your hand so you don't get scared . +You mean ... like on a second date ? +Of course ! Or are you still too scared ! +No way ! That sounds great ! +Oh , it's getting late . I've got to run . It was nice talking to you , karren . +Thanks , Tim . Nice meeting you , too . +I guess we'll see each other around . +Yeah , I hope so . Well , take it easy . +You too . +Jared , I just heard about your father . How is he doing ? +He's in the hospital resting . The doctor's didn't give a clear answer yet . +I'm so sorry to hear that . But this is a good hospital . I'm sure they will do whatever they can . +I hope so . +You must feel really worried right now . But you know your dad is a fighter . +Yeah . I think my mom is the most worried . I'm basically worried about how she is doing . +Where is she right now ? +She's in the hospital with my dad . I have to go back tonight . +Hey , I'll go with you . +You don't have to . +It's really no problem . +Ok . Let's go right after dinner . +All right . But these are black and I don ’ t like black shoes . They ’ re dull . +Well , black is a better color than pink . Pink ’ s for girls . +Then why are you wearing black shoes ? +Because ... oh , all right . You win . Let ’ s pay for them and go . +Hey , thanks , mum . +I'm really sorry , Bob . I accidentally damaged your bike . +Uh-oh . It'll probably cost a lot to fix it . +I'll make it up to you . Let me know how much it costs and I'll give you the money . +Tell me about your brother and sister , Sue . +Well , my sister is a lawyer . +Really ? Does she live here in Seattle ? +Yes , she does . But she's working in Washington , D . C . , right now . Her job is top secret . +Wow ! ! And what does your brother do ? +He's a painter . He's working in Argentina this month . He has an exhibition there . +What an interesting family ! +What do you do now ? +I'm out of work at the moment . +Why ? +I was fired last week . +I'm sorry to hear that . +It doesn't matter . +What's your plan now ? +After the tour I'll have a rest . And then go to find a new job . +Best wishes for you . +Thank you . +Your face is so red , you must running a temperature . +I have a severe headache now . +Please go to see a doctor . +Would you like to go with me ? I ’ m afraid of the hospital . +He got the scholarship to Harvard . +You're kidding ! +It's true . He is a hard worker . +I know he really deserves this . +What happened to you yesterday ? +Oh I fell over on the way to work . +Oh I see . So that ’ s why you didn ’ t come in ? +Yes and I broke my phone too so I couldn ’ t call you . +Oh dear , that sounds terrible . +It was ! But the worst thing was I tore my best shirt . +Oh dear . Well , get well soon and try to be more careful in future . +Hey , David . Would you like some drinks ? +OK . Shall we go to a bar ? +Good idea . I like hanging out in bars at night . +Why ? +For killing time and making new friends . +Don't you think it ’ s too noisy here ? The rock music ! I can hardly bear it . +Calm down ! My little guy ! You'll get used to that after you come here several times . +Well , I'll try . Then what would you like to drink ? It's on me . +I'd like a gin and tonic . +What ? +What happened with that guy at the cafe ? +nothing . +But you ’ re crazy about him . +Yes , I am . +Why don ’ t you run off with him ? What are you waiting for ? +I don ’ t actually know him . +Really ? +I only know him through the ... you are not gonna believe this . +Oh , let me guess . Through the internet ? +Yes . +Hmm . ' You ’ Ve got mail . ' +Happy Birthday ! This is for you , Kate ! +Thanks.Miss Zhang . +You know in China we usually don't open presents until the guests leave . +Really ? I've already opened this one.Say , this is sweet , and it's just what I need to go with my new suit.Thank you ever so much . +This place is so quiet and peaceful . It ’ s really different from my pad at city . +Sure , do you think you could live out here ? You know , back to nature at all ? +I don ’ t know . I don ’ t mind coming out here for a while , but that will get old pretty soon . +That ’ s what I was thinking . I mean can you imagine Friday night instead of going out with your friends you ’ d have to stay in your tree house and talk to birds and squirrels . +I think I ’ d go lonely if I do like that . +And where would you get a cup of cappuccino ? +Now that would be hard to live without . We city folks are pretty spoiled . +Maybe . But I ‘ d rather be spoiled than turn into a crazy guy with a long period to talk to the birds . +I don't stand a chance of passing the exam . +Come on , Brenda ! Never say die . +Have you ever been to Britain ? +Oh yes , I ’ Ve been to Britain many times . I go there on business . +Really ? How often do you go there ? +Usually , I go to London twice a year but sometimes I go three or four times a year . +Do you always go on business or do you sometimes go for a holiday ? +I ’ m afraid I never go for a holiday . It ’ s always business . +I plan to emigrate to Canada . +Have you found a suitable job ? +No . But it is said the welfare in Canada is very good . +But as to me finding a good job is the most important thing . +Maybe you are right , so I will try my best to find a suitable job . +Mary , would you like to get something to eat with me ? +OK . When ? +At 10 o'clock . +10 in the morning ? +No , at night . +Sorry , that's too late . I usually go to bed around 10:00 PM . +OK , how about 1:30 PM ? +No , that's too early . I'll still be at work then . +How about 5:00 PM ? +That's fine . +OK , see you then . +Alright . Bye . +Have you been to Shanghai before ? +Yes I have . I ’ Ve been there three times in the past year . +That sounds great . Have you been to the top of the Pearl Tower ? +No I haven ’ t . I haven ’ t visited the Bund either . I ’ Ve always had too much work to do . +So you haven ’ t done much then , in Shanghai ? +Actually , I ’ Ve eaten soup dumplings in a lovely restaurant on Nanjing Lu . They were delicious ! +Are you enjoying your trip to New Orleans ? +Oh , yes . I really like it here . +Would you like to do something tonight ? +Sure . I'd love to . +Let's see . Have you been to a jazz club yet ? +Yes . I've already been to several clubs here . +OK . What about an evening riverboat tour ? +Uh , actually , I've gone twice this week . +So , what do you want to do ? +Well , I haven't been to the theater in a long time . +Oh , OK . I hear there's a terrific show at the Sanger Theater . +Great ! Let's make a reservation . +what sort of music do you like ? +I love just about anything by Prince . +so , you're into 80s music then ? +well , I like all kinds of music , but he is one of my favorites . How about you ? +I like alternative music . +do you have a favorite band ? +to be honest , no . I'm always in search of new music to listen to . +do you often go to concerts ? +I usually go to see a live band about twice a month . What about you ? +I love going to live gigs . Are there any good local bands playing around here that you'd recommend ? +there's an open mic night at the pub down the road every Thursday night where my favorite local band usually plays . You should come along next week with me . +I'd love to , but I have a night class on Thursdays . +that's too bad . Maybe another time . +let me know if you hear about any good bands playing on the weekends . I have more free time then . +I'll let you know . Did you want to watch some TV ? +sure , what's on ? +there's a reality TV show about a group of people who are trying to lose weight . +that sounds dreadful ! +I want to try something different today . +What do you mean ? +I want a different hair style . +What style do you want ? +Can you make my hair short ? +Exactly how short do you want it ? +Make it a few inches long . +Are you sure you want me to cut it that short ? +I've been thinking about this for a while now . +Okay . I'll do it if you're positive that this is what you want . +I honestly want my hair that short . +All right , then let's begin . +Would you please tell me something about the agriculture and industry of New Zealand ? +The agriculture in New Zealand is highly mechanized . The industry mainly focuses on the manufacture of agriculture and stockbreeding products . +I see . +If you need any further information , please don't hesitate to ask me . +OK , I will . +How are you , Sue ? +Pretty good . I ’ Ve just had my new poems published . +Congratulations on your success . +Thank you . +And how ’ s your brother ? +He is fine . +He ’ s going to be sent to Britain to study , really ? +Yes . He ’ s already got the passport and visa . +Fantastic ! Please send him my congratulations . +Thank you . He ’ s very lucky indeed . +How long have you been in Taiwan ? +About 3 years , so I came here 2000 . +So , where did you grow up ? +Providence , Rhode Island . do you know it ? +I am not sure , where exactly is it ? +Well , not so far from New York . So what about you ? Did you grow up here ? +No , I was born in Gaoxiong , I only moved to Taipei after I graduated . +What are you doing ? +Look at me . I look so old ! I look as if I were thirty . +Come on ! Stop being so vain . You look great ! You are beautiful ! +Yes , I am , but I think it ’ s time for some plastic surgery I ’ m tired of these wrinkles and sagging skin . See ? +I don ’ t see any wrinkles or sagging skin ! You are stop beings ridiculous . Besides , I think that people who get Boto , have facelifts , or tummy tucks look weird.It doesn ’ t look natural . +Whatever , I think I ’ m gonna get liposuction and a nose job and some breast implants as well . +I think you need to get brain surgery . I honestly don ’ t think you need cosmetic surgery.You look amazing . +I thought you were my friend and would support me on this ! I just want to feel better about myself and feel more attractive . +You don ’ t need plastic surgery to do that . You are fine the way you are and you have guys drooling all over you ! Plus , plastic surgery hurts ! +Really ? +Yeah ! When I got my nose job I was black and blue for a week ! +What time is it by your watch ? +I'm sorry , my watch has stopped . +It's 2:42 by my watch . But it moves a bit fast . +Let's ask someone else . +So how much should I gamble ? +Why not fifty or one-hundred dollars ? +Okay . One-hundred then . Do you think I will lose it ? +I don't know . You have to be smart , but you have to be lucky too.Some games are all luck . With some , you need to be smart . +I want games that are all luck . +I knew you would say that ! Then you should play the slot machines . +Slot machines ? No , I don't want that ! That's too boring . I want a game with cards or dice . +So what do you want to play then ? +Blackjack.We can play blackjack . And I will gamble one-hundred , or maybe two-hundred dollars . +Huh ? You are breaking our rule already ! And we didn't even start to play yet ! +Oh , don't be so strict ! We are in Las Vegas . +Yes , and if I stay with you , we will have to walk back home to New York.Because we will lose all our money and our plane tickets too ! +I just won the lottery . +You're kidding ! +I didn't expect to see you at this hour . You must have goofed off again . +Goofed off ? Maybe , but I'm not a clock-watcher . I finished doing what I should do and then knock off an hour earlier . +You'll be sorry if you the boss finds it out . He may probably give you the bag . +I'm sure of what I'm doing . +Professor , I've handed in my paper . Did you read it ? +Yes . You've done a good job . But there's one thing . You should narrow down your topic . +What about water pollution instead of pollution ? +Well done ! +Look , it's all water over the dam now . Let's leave it behind us . +Yeah , I know , but it's too hard to do . +Our eyes should look into the future . We could not live in the past . +Only sometimes when I think about it , I feel very sad . +It's normal . Time will change everything . +Many people say it's a good story.But I think it's boring ! +I don't think I share your view there.The writer is writing about history , society , human nature and so on.It ' s too hard to understand . +How good are you at sports , Bill ? +Are you kidding ? I ’ m terrible ! But I love to watch sports . I go to football or baseball games a lot . And I read sports magazines every week . +Wow ! +Do you like sports , Janice ? +Oh , yes . I like to exercise . But I don ’ t watch sports or buy sports magazines . I don ’ t have much time to do those things . +Oh , I see . You know , we spend time doing different sports . How much time do you spend exercising ? +Well , I guess I exercise about two hours a day . I do aerobics three times a week , and the other days I play badminton with my husband . I always feel good afterward . +That ’ s great ! I ’ Ve heard people say that before . +Well , why don ’ t you try to get some exercise ? It ’ s difficult , but very rewarding . +Oh , I ’ m too lazy to play sports , and I ’ m not good at anything either . It hardly excites me . +I had broken up with him , how painful I feel . I ’ m going to drown my sorrows . +I see . But Jane . He ’ s not worth your sorrow and you should restart your new life . +My brother started investing money when he was 16 years old . +The early bird catches the worm . +What can I do for you ? +I would like to use the copy machine . +The machine is over there . +Do I have to pay to use the machine ? +Yes , you will have to pay to use it . +How much ? +It costs ten cents a copy . +Am I limited to a certain number of copies ? +You can copy as much as you ’ d like . +Could you show me how to use the copier ? +The instructions for the copier are posted on it . +That ’ s fabulous . Thank you . +Mom , happy Mother's Day ! A necklace for you . +What a surprise ! This is the best present I've ever received . +Thank you for your love and care over the years . I love you so much . +I love you , too . +How about a dinner tonight ? My treat . +Actually , I prefer to eat at home , and then we'll have more time to have a chat . +All right . Let me prepare the supper . +What do you know about Julia Roberts ? +Her acting is OK . +I mean her personality . +I'm afraid I know less than you do.Tell me more about her , will you ? +How's the weather today ? +It's hot . +I really don't think this weather will last . +Let's just hope it doesn't get hotter . +Nice day today , isn't it ? +Yes , it's beautiful weather we're having . +We can't complain about the weather recently . +Yes , the sun shines day after day . It's neither too hot nor too cold . +I wonder how long this weather can last . +I hope it will stay fine tomorrow . I'm going to have a picnic with my family . +Excuse me . Do you study Chinese at the university here ? +Yes , I do . But my characters are very bad . +It takes a long time to learn Chinese writing . +Are you Chinese ? +Yes , I am . I am from Taiwan . I came here to study political science . +How do you like it ? +I like it so far . But my English still needs work . +I want to study Mandarin and international relations . +Does the Chinese department here teach regular characters or simplified characters ? +They teach regular characters . +I see . I'm from Taiwan , so I know regular characters better than simplified . +You just said your English needs work , yes ? +Yes , that's true . Especially my writing . I think my papers aren't good enough . I make too many grammatical mistakes . +Well , I am very serious about learning Chinese.But for me the hard part now is pronunciation.You have the four tones in Chinese . It is very hard . Maybe , if you have time , maybe we could do a language exchange . +You mean you and I ? +Yes , why not ? I mean , if you come to this cafe often , maybe we could meet here and practice Chinese and English . +That sounds like a good idea . How often would you like to do it ? +Let's see ... My schedule right now is quite busy.But I think I could spend 90 minutes a week in language exchange . +How would we manage it though ? How would we spend the 90 minutes ? +First , we could spend 45 minutes working on your English writing.If you want , I could help you edit your papers.Or we could do English conversation . Whatever you want.And then the next 45 minutes you would help me with my Chinese . +Would I help you with writing ? +No . For me right now , the important thing is spoken Chinese . I need practice . So you could tutor me in speaking.We could use my textbook , and you could ask me questions.Then you could correct my mistakes . +I think it sounds like a good system . But when is it convenient to meet ? +Well , today is Monday.Actually , for me Monday at this time would be the best . I am free from now until 11 +Me too . In fact , I'm free until 1 +So if you want to meet at 10 +It sounds good . I will bring the papers I'm working on . +And I will bring my textbook and a tape recorder . I would like to record some things so I can practice on my own . +Let me give you my phone number . +Sure . I'll give you mine too . Then we can call if we have to cancel for some reason . +could we possibly discuss my salary some time ? +sure . +first of all , I want you to know that I really like working for this company . Do you think I'm doing a good job here ? +well , you are a very hard-worker . +I try very hard . The problem is , my salary just isn't enough to live on . Now that I have a wife and a child to support , we hardly have enough money for food and rent . +there are trying times for everyone . What do you propose ? +I could really use a 5 % rise . +that's quite a bit . If I give you a raise , I'm going to have to give everyone a raise . +listen , if you give me a raise , I'll take on extra responsibilities . +that sounds reasonable . How about this , from now on , you can be responsible for scheduling . That means that if you can't find someone to cover a shift , then you'll have to do it . +that's fine . Do I get over-time for any extra hours that I work ? +of course . It's be against the law if we didn't . +that sounds good to me . I really appreciate it . +you are welcome . Come in early tomorrow and I'll show you how to do the scheduling . +Your knowledge of English is really surprising . +Oh , it's nothing to speak of . +No , seriously . I'm impressed . +Thank you . I appreciate the compliment . +Are you watching the soccer match tonight ? It must be the most exciting one in this season . +Well , of course I can ’ t miss it . Which team are you for ? +Manchester United . What about you ? +Me too . Do you think they are going to get the championship this time ? +I have confidence in them . +Where are you going to spend your holidays this year , Tom ? +We may go abroad , my wife wants to go to Egypt , and I'd like to go there too . We haven't made up our mind yet . +Will you travel by sea or by air ? +We may travel by sea . It's cheaper . +I'm sure you'll enjoy yourselves . +David , I ’ m going to China . +Really ? How do you get the chance ? +You know . I took part in the Chinese contest . I was the best and they gave me this reward . I don ’ t have to pay for my trip . +Congratulations . How lucky you are ! +Thank you . I ’ m leaving tomorrow morning . +I ’ m sure you ’ ll enjoy the trip . China is such a beautiful country . +I ’ m sure I will . +Have a nice journey , Lily . +Thank you , David . +Your search on this project has been excellent . +Thank you . I couldn ’ t have done it without the help of a strong team . +The final report is exceptionally thorough and well done . I think that you have been come up with some interesting recommendations for the client . +Well , I hope the client feels the same way ! +I am sure they will be pleased . +I'm exhausted . My new exercise is so hard . +I think it is easy . I could work in your class with no problem . +You thing so ? +Oh , without doubt.When is the next class ? +Tomorrow morning.Try it . +No problem . +Are you going to this class this morning ? +Of course , easy.No sweat . +You're no able to move after this class . +Are you kidding me ? It's going to be up a piece of cake . +You want to bet ? +Yeah , what't the bet ? +I bet I can go one hour in your class this morning and not feel a thing . +Happy Birthday , Mary ! +Thank you . +Here is a gift for you . I hope you like it . +What a lovely dog ! How did you know I love things like this ? +I had my own ways of finding out.It ' s a secret . You look so beautiful today . Your new shirt goes well with your skirt . +Maybe you won't believe this , but it was made by my grandmother . +Really ? It looks so nice . +Thank you , Please have a cup of tea . +All right . +How about some fish ? +No , thanks . I've had enough.Now , Mary , before you blow out the birthday candles , you have to make a wish.After that , you may cut the cake . +OK.Let me make a wish ... Do you want a big piece of cake ? +No , just a small one.Next Let's sing " Happy Birthday " to Mary . +It is so very kind of you . I'm so moved by you . +Does anyone mind me turning on the air conditioning ? It's hot in here . +Actually , I prefer if you didn't . Air conditioning makes me sneeze . +All right . I'm opening the window , though , is that OK ? +Oh , sure . It's very stuffy in here . +More and more women don ’ t want to stay at home and keep house now . +This is the result of women ’ s liberation . +Now , many people think that women ’ s liberation is a kind of civilization , but children are getting less love from their mother because of that . What is your opinion ? +I have no idea . +Thank you so much for coming tonight . Everybody really enjoyed your performance . +I'm glad I could help . +Here's the check . I included a little extra for you . +You didn't have to do that ! +I know , but you deserve it . +Graham , why are you always on the phone with Jane ? +Because we are partners in our science lab . Why are you so jealous ? +The other night when you came home there was lipstick on your right cheek . How do you explain that ? +My aunt Mary just flew in from Cleveland and she laid one right on my right cheek . +Are you sure ? +Of course I am . I only love you , Amy . +Okay , I'm sorry . I believe you . +Why do you always accuse me like that ? +Because you are the most handsome boy at the university and I love you so much ! I guess I just go crazy sometimes . That's all . +Oh , Amy . I am the luckiest guy in the world . +Why ? +Because I am loved by the most beautiful girl in the world ! +Oh . Graham . I love you so much and I really believe in our love . +What are you doing this weekend ? +Nothing much . I ’ m going to the cinema on Friday night but that ’ s all I have planned . +So you ’ re free on Saturday night ? +That ’ s right . +Would you like to have dinner with me ? +Oh , that would be lovely . Shall we say seven o ’ clock ? +Perfect . I ’ ll pick you up then . +And so , that concludes my outline for our marketing strategy next year . Thank you very much for your time . +Hey , that was quite the presentation ! Honestly , I was completely blown away by your strategy outline . I've gotta say , Alex , you really wowed me today . +Aw , come on , it was nothing . I'm just doing my job . +No , I think you deserve some recognition here ; I mean , if I look back on your previous presentations , this is a huge improvement . +Well , Kristin did give me a hand with the slides.She ' s a real wiz on PowerPoint . +And I saw that you took on board my feedback about pricing strategies . I really appreciate you taking the time to think though my suggestions . +Yeah , well , that was some good advice . You made some really good points . +Well , I just wanted to say well done . Really you did a great job . +What are you listening now , Fred ? +What ? +Hey ! Man , put your earphone out . I said which song you are listening to . +Jay Chou's title song in his new album . +What's your comment on his new album ? +Gorgeous ! There is another song combining Chinese and western music styles . I am crazy for it , so I hear it over and again . And I plan to make it as the ringbone of my mobile . +Let me enjoy it . +I suppose this song can be the No . 1 on the top chart . +I cann't wait for buying his CD now . +Are you sure that this is the place to wait for our school bus ? +Yeah . Look , other kids are coming this way . +But it doesn't look like a real bus stop . +That's because regular buses don't stop here . +How much is it going to cost ? +Nothing . It's free . +Is that yellow bus it ? +Let's go sit in the back . All the cool kids do . +How is Jim recently ? +He has lost his job , and his wife died from cancer not long before . +Poor guy ! It will take him a long time to get back on his feet . +She lives a happy life after marriage . +We all know that . Her husband always make a fuss of her . +Lucky her . +Excuse me , are you American ? +No . +Do you speak English ? +A little , but not very well . +How long have you been here ? +2 months . +What do you do for work ? +I'm a student . How about you ? +I'm a student too . +Excuse me , I bought this sweater yesterday . But when I got home and tried it on , I found it ’ s too small . +Do you have the receipt with you ? +Yes , here you are . +Thank you . Do you want your money back ? +No , can I exchange it for a bigger one ? +I am afraid this is the biggest size we have . +Oh , that's too bad . +Maybe you would like to try this one with the willow pattern . The price is the same and it's bigger . +Did you enjoy that new movie ? +That movie's just a lot of noise , same as Simon . +Oh , what happened , Carole ? +I had to go by myself , he couldn't make it . +What ? I met him just before I took off from Kitty's , he said he was coming . +Kitty's ? He sure gets around , doesn't he ? +Looks like it . So how did he handle it to ? +His excuse was familiar . He said his car died again . +I think that's a bunch of nonsense . It seemed ok to me . +I know . Last week he gave me a lie about being too busy . +Doesn't sound promising . +Well , I think it's the time to pull the plug . +If you want I'll let him know if I run into him . +Thanks anyway , but I'll do it , Rebecca . Let's get the class . +Hi , it is a pleasant surprise ! +Yeah , it ’ s been ages ! So how have you been ? +Couldn ’ t be better . And you ? +Just as usual , you know . +How do you celebrate Thanksgiving in the US ? +Well , Thanksgiving is family event.So on Thanksgiving , family members will get together and enjoy a big Thanksgiving dinner . Kids will have lot of fun . +Do you say prayers before dinner ? +Yes , we do . It is an exciting moment . +What is the biggest fun for you on Thanksgiving ? +For me ? The football games of course , I love football games . +You seem really ticked off . What's up ? +Just get out of my face , would you ? +Chill out ! What's eating you , anyway ? +Sorry . I'm just that I think I blew the final and now my parents are going to get all bent out of shape . I like totally drew a blank on everything ! +Well , now you're really going to freak out when I tell you who aced it ... what's-her-face ... the one who always kisses up to the teacher . +Jennifer Davies ? Give me a break ! I can't stand her . She's such a dweeb ! How could she possibly ace it when she keeps cutting class all the time ? +She's the teacher's pet , that's why . Besides , he's so laid back he lets her get away with it . She just really rubs me the wrong way . And you know what ? I think she's got the hots for him , too . +Get out of here ! +I'm dead serious . Yesterday , before class starts , she walks up to Mr - Edward's desk and goes , ‘ Good morning , Jim . ’ +Oh , gag me ! She's totally gross ! +Is the Chinese team taking the lead ? +No , it's the Japanese team . +Japanese teams always play a dark horse . +Well , their team work is well worth learning . +You are quite busy every day . +Yes . Work starts at eight and I arrive home after six . +So you have to work all day . +I can take a break at lunch time , but it is only 30 minutes . +I see you sometimes work on weekends , too . +Yes , I really don't like it . +Hi Mary , how's it going ? +well , last night I had a big argument with Ann . +terrible . It must be something serious . You two are such close friends . +now that I look back at it , it wawsn't that big a deal . I shouldn't have lost my temper . +really ? What happened ? +it's just we've been planning to go the beach for a while , and we decided we could both make it this weekend . Then out of nowhere she called me up , said her boyfriend had made plans and that she nee +that's pretty harsh . +I know , but I was so upset . I mean , come on ! Does she have to do everything her boyfriend says ? +you know she probably feels just as bad . +well , I think I was being a little selfish myself . I know they don't get to see each other very often . +well , in that case I guess maybe you can be more understanding . You shouldn't let a trivial thing like this stand in the way of your friendship . After all you can go to the beach anytime you want . +yeah , I'll call her later to patch things up . +Henry , I want to ask you something . +Say what you want to say . +You see . The wage is not paid yet , I am wondering if you could possibly lend me some money . +I am sorry . But I do not have any money to lend to you . +OK , Devon , I've been putting on a few pounds and you're quite a lean fit guy . +Well , thank you . +What do you recommend ? What can I do to lose weight ? +Well , I exercise a lot . I go running at least three times a week . But more than that I enjoy playing sports and so different sports use different muscles and all of it helps to lose that weight that you might have gained . +Yeah , well , actually , one of the problems is that I actually exercise a lot . +Do ya ? +Yeah , so maybe it's my diet . +It could be and so in that case you might want to eat something perhaps more nutritious or maybe even less of what you do eat . Maybe , I eat three meals a day and I try not to snack in between . No potato chips . No popcorn . No candy bars . +That's pretty tough ! +I don't think the manager will get mad at you for being late . +I don't know about that . +I hear you are moving to Dalian . +Yes . I found a very good job down here . +Well , we'll certainly miss you here . +I am going to miss you , too . +Let's keep in touch . +OK . I will write to you as soon as I get there . +Nice weather , honey ! +The days are getting longer ! +May and Daniel often like this kind of weather . +Yeah , they can enjoy themselves in the day time and it is not so hot . +Honey , how about taking them to the beach this weekend ? +That's great ! +Since last time we've climbed the mountain , we haven't gone out for a long time . +And this kind of weather is rare for the season either . +Yes , I remember last year this time , the weather is so hot . +So we must seize this chance to go the beach . +Daniel loves the beach very much ! +He will enjoy himself this weekend . +Have you met John recently ? +I saw him last week . It seems he was a bit queer in the head . +Yes , he has been like that since his accident . +What a pity ! +What are you doing tonight ? +I have to run to the grocery store . +Don't you hate fighting the crowds on the weekends ? +Yes , but I am out of food and milk . +What store do you shop at ? +The small one , just down the street . I like their generic brand . +I have been using the store across town for years . +I hear they have very nice stuff . +They do , but they're a little expensive on certain items . +Well , you should try my store . The prices are good . +I will sometime . Thanks for the advice . +I'm happy to see you again . +Me too . +We should do this more often . +Okay , I'll give you a ring next week . +What will happen to the children if you break up ? +That's a relief for me and a misery for the children . +Why don't you make up with John . +It's too late . +What upsets you ? +My parents called . As usual , they reminded me again that I should have a plan to marry by my late 20s.Easier set than done . Who should I marry ? I have no time to go on a date . +It is not your mother finding one for you ? +I will find one myself , of course . I ’ m a modern girl . +Perhaps you can try the three minutes date , the latest type . +You mean dozens of the opposite sex meet each other for three minutes in a dimly bar serving alcohol , I hate that idea . +No , there is an updated version , three minutes video date . I know an online dating website providing such service with a microphone and webcam , you can sigh for it . You can be face-to-face with a guy talking for maximum three minutes . +I don ’ t think it makes sense . Three minutes is such a short time . +I think you can find out if there is a possibility of romance within the first second of meeting someone , so-called love at first sight . +Anyway , I don ’ t want to post my face up for sale on the internet like that . +Don ’ t worry . There are many other options using the internet as dating methods . Some sites operate at international standard even have got certifications . +Of course , for these sites , you have to pay a membership fee . But all in all , it is more serious and professional . The chance of meeting a good and serious person who does not play games is higher . +I don ’ t want to post my personal information on the internet . I ’ m not knowing who is reading it . +Hi , dear , I've got your voice at last . +Hi , darling , I am thinking it is the time of your calling . +Are you OK today ? +Quite good except thinking of you so much . +So do I . You are a beautiful flower in my mind . +It's called love is blind , I think . +Did you watch the movie program on Channel 6 last night ? +Yes , I did . It is a horrible movie . +I wonder why TV programs often show much violence . +Actually , more and more people have realized that violence on TV may lead to the increase of crime rates among teenagers . +They are especially harmful to teenagers . +But anyhow there are many worthwhile programs . +I hate to see the abuse of animals . +It makes me sick . +Hi ! Bob , are you having problems with that ? +Yes , how should I set up my new computer ? +It's easy , let me help you . +Great , thanks a lot . +Good morning , Mr.Jones ! +Good morning , Miss Bell ! +Nice to see you again . +Nice to see you too.It ' s been a long time . +How is everything ? +Just fine , and you ? +Quite well , thank you . +Did you drive yourself to the airport ? +No , I was driven by my husband . +Did someone meet you at the airport here ? +Yes , thanks . +Is this where we'll be holding the meeting ? +No , the meeting will be held on the fourth floor . +What should we do this Saturday ? +Rocky six is suppose to come out this Friday . +Yeah , but I don't know if it is going to be any good . +The only reason I want to see it is because I have seen the previous five . +True . Ok . Let's see it this Saturday . +How about we hook up for lunch at 12:00 , and then go see the movie afterwards . +Sounds like a plan . Let's meet in front of Tower Records at 12:00 . +It's almost Christmas . What are you doing this weekend ? +Nothing special , just working . Why do you ask ? +Well , I still haven't finished my Christmas shopping . Do you want to go shopping with me this weekend ? +I'd like to , but I'm not sure if I can . Work has been really busy lately . Why don't we go on Friday instead ? +Friday's not good . I think the stores will be very crowded and I have to work . +OK , then let's try to go this weekend . I should know if I can go by Friday . Is it OK if I call you then ? +Yeah , that's fine . +What's your number ? +233-331-8828 . Let me give you my email address too . It's Tom861@gmail.com +OK , I'll talk to you soon . +OK . +Can I borrow these magazines ? +Fill in the slip , then take it to the circulation desk . They will get you what you want . +Are we allowed to go into the stacks to look for books ? +Sorry , the stacks are closed to undergraduate students . +I never watch foreign films . They're too boring . +Jason , you have no taste . You think First Blood is a good movie . +Hey , it is ! A lot of people like that movie ! +I'm sorry , but it's a bad movie . The plot is stupid , and the script is poorly written . +Face it , you don't like action movies because you're a snob . +No , I don't like action movies because I'm cultured ! +This is tough to say , John , but I think we should break up . +Are you serious ? +Yes , I mean it . +But why ? Did I do anything wrong ? +No , we are just too different . This relationship isn't going anywhere . +Hey , come on . It's too early to say that . We can fix things . +I have thought about it for a long time . I think it's time to move on for both of us . +But I still love you . +I'm sorry . +I knew this would happen some day ... +Then why didn't you talk to me ? +Well . It's not all my fault , Anna ... +I don't want to argue with you anymore . This is going to be tough , but let's try to forget that and be friends . +Have you made the decision yet ? +I think we'll be better off if we are apart . +Then shall we keep pure friendship ? +Sure , let's just be friends . +Hi , charlie , are you busy this evening ? +Sorry , I'm afraid that I've got plans tonight . +What are you doing ? +I'm going to my parents ' house for my father's birthday . +How old is he today ? +It's his 50th birthday . +Well , wish him a happy birthday for me . +Sure thing . What are your plans for the evening ? +I was just thinking of going to a movie tonight . +Well , if you can wait until tomorrow night , I'll go with you then . +Sorry , I've got people coming over tomorrow night . +Sounds like this weekend just isn't going to work out for us . +Sounds that way . Maybe some other time then ? +Sure.Hey , I'm sorry , but I've got to get going . +Yeah , me , too . It's about time I made a move . +Say hello to your friends for me . +Likewise . See you later . +Bye ! +I was wondering if you could help me to get a library card . +Of course , just fill out this form and let me know when you are finished . +I'm finished . +I will also need your driver's license ; hand me the filled-out form , please . +OK , the form is all filled out . +Perfect ! Do you know the hours and rules for the library ? +No , I have no idea what they are . +Everything you need to know is printed on the card and handout . +Yes , right . +Great ! You are all set to enjoy the library . +What did the boss say to you ? +He asked me to beef up in the work . +Yeah . You look so unhappy recently . What ’ s the matter . +Nothing , thanks . I am just not in the mood these days . +Hey Joanne . What are you up to ? +I'm just watching some television . +I'm so bored . I don't know what I'm going to do today and it is only ten in the morning . +Me too . Do you think we are boring people ? +I don't think we are boring . It's just that we don't have any hobbies . +That's right . What do you think we should do as a hobby ? +That all depends on what you like to do . For example , I like to doodle on the notepad , so I'm thinking about doing some real drawings . +I like to play the piano for fun . +Yeah . That can be a good hobby . +Hobbies are great . I'm going to make a list of all the things I like to do . +That's a great idea . I'm going to do the same . +Jack , what's wrong ? +You ! +What are you talking about ? What did I do ? +You told Martha that I was on a date ? What was that all about ? +No ... that's not what I meant . I didn't mean that . She asked me where you were and I jokingly said that you were on a date with Sara . I thought Martha knew that you and Sara were just friends . +She started feeling suspicious after you said that . +I'm sorry man . I didn't know . I didn't mean to screw anything up . +Martha gets jealous easily and it took a while to convince her that Sara was just a friend . Now , I have to explain to Sara that I can't hang around her because of you . +Look . I really didn't mean to , and next time I see Martha , I'll really tell her that you and Sara are really just friends . +Don't bother . +Shall we for go out for a meal this evening ? +I don ’ t really mind . +We can go to that new Chinese restaurant . +I suppose I could . +Come on , let ’ s try it . +All right . If you really want to . +Mr.Martin , we're on arrival . +It's nice of you to see my off at the airport . Thank you very much . +We'll miss you . I hope we'll keep in touch . +Sure . You've given a great help to me in the past days . +It's my pleasure . We hope you'll visit Beijing again . +Certainly . I'll be glad to . +It's almost time to get aboard . +Yes , we should go . Thank you very much . Goodbye ! +Bye bye ! Have a pleasant journey ! +People say that you never have a real winter in the South China , but I don't think so . +Why ? +I did experience a winter with snow in Kunming , the Spring City . +With snow in Kunming ? That's crazy ! +Can you tell me where I can park ? +Are you driving a motorcycle or an automobile ? +I drive an automobile . +Fine . You can either park in the student lot or on the street . Do you know what a handicapped space is ? +Yes , I have seen those spots . +Well , when you see the blue spots with the handicapped logo , do not park there unless you have a special permit . Are you going to be parking in the daytime or the evening ? +I park in the evenings . +Then you also need to be aware of the time limits on the street signs . Have you seen those signs ? +Yes , I have seen those signs . +The signs always tell you how long you can park there and on what days . Do you know how to read the curb colors ? +Yes , I know what the curb colors mean . +Well , just as long as you realize that red means no parking and white means loading and unloading , I think you know what you need to know . +How long have you been in America ? +For more than five years . +Do you think it's easy for a Chinese to get accustomed to the western culture ? +It's no picnic . +There are things that are actually even smaller than atoms . +What are those ? +They are the things that make up the atom , such as electrons and protons . +Is there anything that is smaller than electrons and protons ? +Of course there is . Things can be divided and broken down into indefinitely small parts if we can . +I really don't want to know about this . Physics gives me a headache . +Guess what I've brought for you . +Oh , a bouquet of flowers . It's very kind of you . +I hope you like it . +I love flowers , you know . Thank you very much . +That's all right . +Who is it ? +Supervisor . Open the door . +Wait a sec . +What are you doing here ? +We're watching a football match . What's the matter ? +Your neighbors complained that you were so noisy that they can't sleep . +I'm sorry about this . +Please turn down the TV . And not another shout or I'll have to report you to the school administration . +You can rest assured that we won't disturb others anymore . +So Kevin , what is your type ? +I like girls who like to have fun , and aren't too serious . +I agree . I like guys that can make me laugh . +That's true . Having a very serious boyfriend or girlfriend can be boring . +Are you free tonight ? +I think so . +I can ’ t decide what to do today . +Well . Let ’ s go swimming . +Don ’ t you think it ’ s a bit cold for that ? +Then why don ’ t we go for a walk in the hills . It ’ d be very good for us you know . +Car trouble center . How may I help you ? +My car won ’ t start ! Stupid old car ! +Hold on , before you kick your car let ’ s go through some possible problems . +Fine . +OK , first of all , can you turn the key in the ignition ? +Yeah ! I am here with my friend and he thinks it may be the spark plug or the starter motor . +Those are possible problems , but tell me , when you turn the key , do you hear the starter motor crank ? +Yeah , it sounds like it usually does when I start the car , but nothing else happens . The engine won ’ t start . Should I maybe press the accelerator ? +No . If you step on the accelerator pedal you can flood the carburetor and your car will never start . +So what do you think it is ? +I know this may seem like a silly question , but does your car have gasoline ? +Umm . yeah ! Right ! I got the car started ! Thanks for your help ! I told you to fill the tank ! +I quit my job . +You can't be serious . +Do you have a copy of today ’ s newspaper ? I want to check the results from the world athletics championship . +Yes , I ‘ m just reading them myself . It ’ s been a great competition . We got gold medals in three events . +Yes , we won the men ’ s 110 metres hurdles . I watched that on TV . What other events did we win ? +We won the men ’ s high jump and the women ’ s 1500 meters . +That ’ s great . Those athletes must train for years to get into peak physical condition . They must be terribly disappointed if they don ’ t win . +The woman who won the 1500 meters also broke the world record by 2 seconds . +That ’ s amazing ! Were any other records broken ? +A Russian man broke the discus record by a centimeters . Out best athlete broke his personal best in the long jump , but it only got him third place . +Did you see the final of the men ’ s 100 metres ? It was very exciting . One competitor made two false starts . +Was he disqualified ? +Yes , he was . I imagine he must be very angry with himself for that . +Hi , Ellen . That outfit looks terrific ! +Thanks , Jim . I didn ’ t think guys paid attention to stuff like that . +No , we just don ’ t usually admit it ! +Well , thanks for the compliment anyway ! +Hey , Mike . Can I ask you something ? +Sure , what's up ? +I'm going to gamble on the world cup tonight . Who do you think will win ? +Good question . I have to think about it . +My husband is betting on France . +France ? Is he crazy ? +What do you mean ? +Well , how can I put this ? France is a terrible team . +Is there something wrong ? You look so sad . +My house was robbed last night and the thieves stole all my furniture . +No wonder you look so upset . Have you called the police ? +Yes , I have . But I have to wait . +How are you feeling , John ? +Oh , not too bad , but I've got to stay in bed . +Do more exercises after you are healthy . +Ok , I will . You have said that many times . +Are you hungry ? Do you want me to buy something for you to eat ? +No , there ’ s no need . Thank you all the same . +did you go to university ? +yes , I graduated with a BA in English from Qingdao University . +when did you graduate ? +just a few years ago . What about you ? +I just graduated from high school . +are you planning on going to university ? +I'd like to get a BA , but I don't know where I should go . +have you applied anywhere yet ? +yes , I've applied to four universities and have been accepted into all of them . +congratulations ! Which one is the cheapest ? +the tuition is the same for all of them . +which one has the most interesting course ? +I think the course at Leeds University is interesting , but I think the one at Manchester University would be more practical . +where would you like to be located ? +I'd really like to be in London , but it's the most expensive city in England to live in , so I don't know if I can afford to live there . +have you applied for grants or financial aid of some sort ? +not yet . +I think you should do that soon . It will help you make a decision about the school you go to . +that's a good idea . +good luck ! +Excuse me , could you spare me a few minutes ? +Yes , certainly.How can I help you ? +Do you know if train 10 is on time to be here ? +Sorry , I don ’ t know . I ’ m a passengers ’ m waiting for my train .. +Do you mind if I read your newspaper for a while ? +Certainly not.Here it is . +Thanks a lot +Would you like a cup of coffee ? +Yes.That would be good . +Oh , no . +What's the matter ? +This machine is out of order . +You shouldn't have used the machine.Did you lose your money ? +I sure did . +You ought to complain.These machine are always out of order . +You seem to like her very much , don't you ? +I can't deny that . She is so beautiful that I fell in love with her at the first sight . I wish I knew more about her . +But I heard that she had a three-year-old girl . +I cannot belive that . It must be cooked up by someone . +There are so many environment problems in the world today . Do you think we can really solve them all or will destroy the world ? +I hope that world leaders can get together and agree on a plan of action , but I doubt it ’ ll happen before it ’ s too late . +We need to solve the problem of air pollution before we destroy the atmosphere . There ’ s lots of clean , modern technology , but companies in developed countries say it ’ s expensive . Developing countries +Everyone is looking at the issue in the short term , rather than the long term . It ’ s the same with the destruction of the rainforests . Countries and companies just want the wood . They ’ re not thinking a +In other parts of the world , especially in Africa , there is a problem with desertification . Climate change and over-farming are causing farmland to turn into desert . In means that people cannot grow e +It also means that people sometimes fight over the farmland that remains . Damaging the environment actually leads to conflict between people . +Have you ever thought about joining an organization committed to protecting the environment ? You could get involved with projects to improve the environment . +I think I ’ d like to do that . I could take the things I learn here back to my country when I have finished my studies . +Going to the cafeteria ? +No , I am not eating there anymore . I have ordered my favorite food in the restaurant around the corner . The food served in the cafeteria is not my type . I am a total meat lover . But the cafeteria is doing its best to force me to be a vegetarian . They have been serving the Chinese cabbage and white gorse for three days . Haven ’ t you noticed that ? +That ’ s fine with me . I don ’ t hate vegetables and I don ’ t eat much during lunch . +Well , then the cafeteria suits you best . But anyway , if you like to have a lunch outside the company , feel free to join me anytime . +How old are you ? +That's a secret . +I've brought a little dog for Alice , girls usually like looking after pets . +Thank you , but Alice is only a visitor here . I don't know if she'll keep it . +To tell you the truth , the dog isn't my real reason for coming . I want to ask Alice if she'd like to be my girlfriend . +Really ? +hi , I'm Lucas , I just moved in next door . +oh , hi Lucas , come on in . I'm Barbara . Nice to meet you . +nice to meet you too . +would you like something to drink ? I've got tea and some grape juice . +thanks . Some tea would be nice . Chinese tea is great . I really like your tea set . Where did you get it ? +oh , there is a supermarket not far from here . But there is also a tea house around the corner , where you can get tea and a tea set as well . +oh yeah , I saw the tea house the other day . I think I might go and have a look sometime . It's a nice neighborhood here . +you are right about that . It's quiet and very convenient . You can get to the bus and the subway stations within ten minutes'walk . There's a grocery store , a book store , a gym , and many restaurants +there's a gym nearby ? That's exciting ! I really want to start to go to gym as soon as possible . I've been lazy this summer holiday and have put on some weight . +well , if you want we can go together sometime . Actually I was thinking of going this afternoon , if you like , you can join me and I can show you the neighborhood along the way . +that would be wonderful . Thanks ! +I am totally fed up with my boss . He has crossed the line one too many times with his sexist comments . This time I am really going to report him for sexual harassment . +What happened ? Did your boss say something to offend you at work ? +He constantly lets inappropriate things slip out , referring to the women employees as girls or calling us sweetheart or darling . I doubt any of my male colleagues would stand for such treatment . +Don ’ t you think you are overreacting a little ? Calling you by nicknames shouldn ’ t be so bad ... +You ’ re missing the point . It ’ s about respect . He treats us with such a patronizing attitude , as if we are not equal or not as serious as our male co-workers . It ’ s his attitude that needs to be changed , not just his words . +That ’ s what you get for working in a male-dominated field . I think you ’ ll find that most male bosses in your industry are already conditioned to treat females in this way . You probably won ’ t be able to change him . +Is your lady beautiful ? Since I came here from the country , I've not seen her close . Tell me , is she beautiful ? +Thomas , if I could write with the beauty in her eyes , I was born to look in them and know myself . +And , her lips ? +Her lips ? The early morning rose would wither on the branch if it could feel envy . +And her voice like a lark's song ? +Deeper , softer , none of your twittering larks . I would banish nightingales from her garden before they interrupted her song . +Oh , she sings too ? +Constantly . Without doubt , and plays the lute . She has a natural ear . +Would you like to have dinner with me tonight ? +Sorry , I have to work overtime . +You are really career minded . +My boss promised to pay me double time . +It's going to strike 12 o'clock . Let's get the firecrackers ready , Rose . +Aren't firecrackers forbidden in the city ? +Well yes , but they are not allowed only in downtown areas . It's OK here . It would be difficult to ban customs that have thousands of years of tradition . The habit does bring kids joy and excitement so long as precautions are taken . Let's go out and set off firecrackers out there . +Fantastic ! The whole city is echoing with crackling sounds ! +What other activities will you have tomorrow ? +Quite a lot . The celebration of the New Year has just started . The first day we southerners have sweet rice cakes for breakfast , and people in the North have Jiaozi . Afterward , we will make New Year calls on family relatives , husband's side on the first day and wife's side on the second . +Do you bring some gifts along ? +That's for sure . Fruit , cream cakes , medical tonics are often for parents and aged relatives , and cash enclosed in a red envelope for the kids . All this , of course , should be well prepared beforehand . +Is it the same practice for all families ? +Not all the same nowadays I must say . Many families , especially those of newly married couples , choose to make an overseas trip to escape the routines . Rose and I had a tour to Singapore , Malaysia , Thailand and Hong Kong last year . We stayed there for two weeks until the last day of the holiday . +I really appreciate the way you Chinese people exchange feelings . The holiday's long enough for you to relax . +Well , for city dwellers , the Spring Festival is a holiday of seven days . While in the country where traditions are still heavily emphasized , the festival lasts ten days . +You seem to be very hesitant about doing things . +I don't know why I cannot take a step forward . +You are meeting trouble halfway , I guess . +Many things are troubling me . I don't know whether I should come and go . +That's where the shoe pinches . +How's your new apartment ? +I thought it was in a quiet neighborhood , but it isn't . +What's wrong ? +One of my neighbors has a dog . +Does it make a lot of noise ? +It barks all night long . +Dad , I ’ d like to borrow some money . +Sure , Johnny , how much do you need ? five bucks ? +Come on , Dad , I need thirty thousand . I wanna get into the market . You know , I ’ m tired of hearing all this news about the economic downturn , the inevitable recession , people stuffing their money in their mattresses . I look at this as an opportunity . This is a chance for me to get a jump start on building my nest egg . +I don ’ t know about that ; with all the uncertainty in the markets right now , it would be a very unwise decision to invest . I don ’ t know if you ’ re aware son , but there has been a lot of turmoil in the markets recently . There have already been half a million layoffs in the last few months , and we have no idea how the proposed stimulus package will impact the economy . There ’ s just too much instability . I wouldn ’ t feel comfortable investing in this climate . +But look at it this way , every challenge is an opportunity . And anyway , I ’ m not talking about investing in the domestic market . There are emerging markets that promise great returns . Look at China , for example , they have 1.4 billion people , half a billion of whom have recently entered the middle class . Here alone the aggregate demand for consumer goods represents an amazing wealth generating opportunity . +Come on , son , you ’ re looking at this too naively , the Chinese market has exhibited a great deal of instability , and their currency has been devalued by almost a whole percentage point . +Fine , then ! If that ’ s the way you feel , so be it . But you ’ re losing out on a great opportunity here . I ’ m going to go hit up Mum for the cash . +What do you think of smoking ? +It ’ s harmful not only for yourself but for others . +What in your opinion can be done to stop smoking ? +Stop producing cigarettes . +But that ’ ll affect the national economy . +That ’ s right . But I don ’ t think there are better ways . +How about printing a warning on each cigarette packet ? +Maybe it can take effect . +do you like playing games ? +I like playing computer games , but I'm not really into board games . +how about individual games like the Rubik's cube or solitaire ? +the Rubik's cube is so difficult to solve that I think it should be banned ! +if I taught you how to do it , I'm sure you could solve it . +how did you figure out how to slove the Rubik's cube ? +I didn't really have to figure it out . I just followed the instructions ! +I had no idea there were a set of instructions . I thought everyone who could solve it were all geniuses ! +hints are really important when you're solving puzzles . If you give me some hints about playing that PS2 game , I ’ ll show you how to solve the Rubik's cube . +it's a deal . +do you remember , years ago , when everybody at the New Year's party had yo-yos ? +yeah . That was a strange party . Can you still do any of those yo-yo tricks ? +I don't know . I haven't tried yo-yo since that party ! +I could never figure out how to use my yo-yo . +if you don't start when you're young , it's hard to get the hang of it . +let's get started with this game then . +ok . +A beautiful center ! +And good shot ! +A goal ! +Mary , there's one more thing that you must do for me before you leave . +What is it ? +You have to take the math and English evaluation tests . +Why ? +Because you're from a foreign country . The school needs to find out how good you are at both basic skills . +It's so that I can be put into the right math and English classes , right ? +You are a smart girl ! +This is going to take more time than I thought . +I have a bone to pick with you . +Okay . Let ’ s clear the air . What are you getting at ? +You always have a chip on your shoulder . +I ’ m sorry . But I don ’ t meant to get your goat . +OK , Nick . Here's the question , What movie and its sequel both won an Oscar for Best Picture ? +The Godfather and The Godfather II , of course . They were both directed by Francis Ford Coppola . +Whew ! I'm impressed ! You really know your stuff ! +Only about old movies , really ... +It is obvious that their government is nursing the hope of having all other countries over a barrel and bring them completely under their control . +It ’ s a typical of them to do so . +What can we do ? +We must keep developing our economy and unite with other developing countries to fight against it . +This is today ’ s schedule . At eight thirty , conference with the department managers . At 9 o ’ clock , live for the workshop where you ’ ll award prizes to the stafffor preventatives . +That ’ s great . What are the prizes ? +3000 RIB as bonus for each person . +To encourage the staff increases . +Ok . Next thing is laying the corner-stone for the new plant at 10 AM . At 12 AM , back here for lunch . +What about the afternoon ? +At 2 PM , give a presentation here with the press . At four o ’ clock sharp , have dinner with Mr . Smith , manager of NCC . +How do you get along with your co-workers ? +I get along pretty well with most of them.It seems there are always a few rotten apples in the bunch , though , Like Margaret . I don't know why management hasn't fired her yet.She ' s a terrible gossip . +Do you think management should fire someone just because they gossip ? +It's not only that she gossips , but she also tries to start problems among other employees by spreading rumors and telling lies about her co-workers.She ' s not trustworthy , and in my opinion , I think she's nuts . +So how do you develop good relationships in the office ? +I think one of the important things is just to be considerate of your co-workers'feelings and needs.If you are aware of other people and do your part to make a good working environment , you should be able to get along with most of the people you work with . +I think you're right , but it does seem that there are always a few co — workers that are harder to work with than others . +Thanks a lot for having us . We had a good time . +I'm glad you came . You're welcome anytime . +Thanks . By the way , tell your wife she throws a great party . +I will . See you later . +So how did you meet Bill ? +I met him through a computer bulletin board . +Oh , really ? Which bulletin board ? +It was one I used down at the local coffee house called the San Francisco Net . It's been around since around 1991 . +I've heard about that , but I've never tried it . +You ought to . One dollar buys you 15 minutes of computer time . A Chat session links you with cappuccino sippers in other cafes and also to home computers on the network . +I have no desire to talk on a network with a bunch of strangers . +That's the whole point . All your inhibitions disappear because you can ’ t see the other person . This network allows you to talk to people whom you normally wouldn ’ t talk to . +I just want a private conversation with one other person . +You can do that . A private session lets two people talk alone . This techno-chat program lets you talk about anything with everybody , without prejudice because you can ’ t see them . +Well , maybe I'll tag along and watch how you talk . +That's fine with me , but we'll have to get there early . Because after 8 pm , there is always a long line . +It ’ s that popular ? +It sure is . +Have you seen that house ? +Yes , it looks interesting . +You're right . I love it very much . +It must be old . +At least more than 100 years old . +Let's enter it ! +I can't open the door . +It must be locked . +Let me ask the old woman in that reception office . +She can't answer you . +She must be deaf . +It must be a haunted house . Are you frightened ? +Frightened ? You must be joking . +Have a nice weekend ! +Thanks.You too ! +Do you have any plans ? +Well , my family's away and I can't afford to do much.What about you ? +Oh , I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet . +What did you major in ? +I major in Chemistry . +What is your specialty ? +Organic Chemistry is my specialty . +The National Day is coming . What are you going to do during the holiday ? +I have no idea . +Why don't you go sightseeing ? +It isn't a good time because there must be many tourists in the scenic spots . What about your plans ? +I intend to stay at home for the whole seven days and have a good rest . +Good morning , John . Have you finished reading the novel by Dickens borrowed from the library ? +No . I caught a cold two days ago . I only finish reading half of it . +I'm sorry to hear that . How are you feeling now ? +I'm feeling better today . +How many days do you plan to finish reading it ? +About more three days , I think . +OK . After three days , I will come to you for it . +No problem . +Ouch ! +Are you all right ? +Yeah , I just bumped into the table . +Hi , Lilly , it ’ s so nice to see you again . +Hum , me too . This winter holiday was especially long . What have you done ? +Nothing special . I had a get-together with some schoolmates at the high school , visited the Internet and read a couple of books which I had been longing for . How about yours ? +You know , I like traveling . I made good use of this long vacation and enjoyed myself . +You know , I really don ’ t think Americans are very romantic . +Where did you get that idea ? +That ’ s the impression I get from the movies , and from looking around . Men and women seem very business-like in their relations with each other . +Well , I ’ m still not sure what you ’ re asking me . +Is it true or isn ’ t it ? +Do you want to know something about the American character ? +I just think you ’ re trying to change the subject . But go ahead . +No , this will help answer your question . In American society boys and girls are raised together . They ’ re not segregated in their activities ! Boys and girls go out together from an early age . +OK , go on . +After being raised together , men and women can be business-like in each other ’ s company . It really doesn ’ t have anything to do with the way a man and woman behave toward each other when they are in love . Does that answer your question ? +Not exactly , but I see your point . +I think Americans are pretty romantic when they are in a relationship and a lot of flirting goes on in every office . After you ’ Ve been in America for a while , you will probably see what I mean . +It's a lovely day , isn't it ? +Yes , the weather sure is nice today . +I love it when the weather is like this.Why don't we sit down outside and have our lunch ? +That sounds like a good idea.The sky is clear , the sun is shining and there's a nice cool breeze , so it is not too hot . +I really miss the change of seasons like we have in Colorado.but I must admit , this sure is a nice spring day . +Hey , this spot in the shade looks really comfortable . +Okay.Hey , is that a dark cloud over there ? Do you think it will rain after all ? +I don't think so . I say the weather report last night , and it said the weather should be fine all day . +If the weather stays nice perhaps we can go to the beach this weekend.It ' s been a while since I've not really gotten some sun . +Are you going to the cafeteria downstairs ? +Yes . +Could you please get me a takeaway ? I have some urgent work to finish . So I don ’ t have enough time to go out for lunch . +No problem . What should I bring ? +I am not picky on food . Just bring me the day menu . +What's your weight ? +150 pounds . +Do put yourself on a diet , otherwise you'll be too fat . +I can't bear eating less . +Did you ever take History 231 ? +Yeah . Last semester . +Who was the professor ? +It was Professor Johnson . +I have him this semester . What do you think about him ? +He's a terrible instructor and demands a lot , but fortunately , he's an easy grader . +What did you end up getting ? +I got an A - . Sounds good , but none of my test scores were that high , so I don't know how I got a decent grade . +That's probably because he grades on a curve . +Are you enjoying the class so far ? +I hate it and I was about to withdrawal . But after hearing your experience , I think I will tough it out . +Yes . Definitely stay in the class . You will get a better grade than your test scores . He does that deliberately to make all the students study a lot . +Thanks for letting me know . I feel relieved now . +So how long have you known Mary ? +Only four days . +Only four days ! That's so short , and you seem so crazy about her . +I know . I can't help thinking about her . She's always on my mind . +Hi , happy new year ! +Hey , the same to you ! +Time flies ! One year has already been a history ! +Definitely , it's time to say bye-bye to the last year and to say hello to the new year ! +Yeah . Have you made any good resolutions for this new year ? +Some resolutions ? That's a wonderful idea , but I have no idea yet . How about you ? +I want to be healthier this year , so I think I should take more exercise . +That will be a good one ! Anything else ? +Maybe I should make a plan about learning my biochemistry , which is a mess ! +Sounds great ! +It's weekend again , I'm glad I can arrange for my personal matters . +What do you mean by that ? +Oh , that means I can do whatever I like without few interruptions . +You've been always active and versatile . It seems that you are interested in everything . +Oh , really ? I just have lots of hobbies in my spare time ; such as going to the concert , painting , handwriting , reading novels and reading fashion magazines . What about yours ? +I have fewer hobbies than yours . That's why I find campus life a bit dull and uninteresting . +Oh , you can't think like that . We young people should try our best to learn new things and accept new ideas . You like taking photos and going to photography shows , why not practise the technique and catch something unforgeable ? +That's a good suggestion . It's fine today . Maybe I can take photos on the scenery of the lake at sunset . It must be fantastic . +I quite agree with you . With our hobbies , our life can be more colorful and exciting . +And I can concentrate on my study after the relaxation over the weekend . +Yes , it's a good habit to have a life-long hobby . Those who practise calligraphy and Qigong always live longer . +Hey , Jane ... are you familiar with our company's insurance policies ? +Umm ... I think so . What's up ? +I've never really paid attention to the fine print of our insurance policies ... but it looks like I'm going to need to make a claim . +Really ? Are you OK ? +I have a slipped disc in my lower back and the doctor says surgery is probably the best option . Does our worker insurance cover this kind of thing ? +If the injury is workplace related I'm sure it's completely covered . +Hummum ... I think I'll have to talk to the doctor again about that.Anyway ... now that I'm going to have to make some claims , I think I'd better try and understand how the system works . Would you mind breaking it down for me ? +Sure . Basically we have two insurance policies for employees ... workman's compensation and medical insurance . The company pays the premiums for workman's compensation , and for a significant part of the medical coverage , but you pay part of that premium , too . +That's the charge for insurance I see on my pay slip each month , right ? +Yep . Every country in the world has a different system , but here we buy insurance from a private provider . +So workman's compensation is if I slip and break my arm while working in the office or on the job , right ? +That's right . The company pays for all your medical bills and there is also some financial compensation if you have to take days off to see doctors or spend time recuperating . +I decided to go for this kind of life . +Try to keep cool . It's not an easy take . +I know . I always hope for the best and prepare for the worst . +Then you will be in line for a doom . +How are you ? +I ’ m great . Thanks . +Did you need something ? +I need your help . +How may I help you ? +I need to find this newspaper article . +Have you checked the periodicals section yet ? +I forgot about that section . +If you ’ d like , I can show you were to find it . +Could you do that ? +Follow me . +Thank you for all your help . +Wow , American football is more exciting than I thought . +You ’ re in America now , my British friend . We just call it football . +Oh , right . So , I can ’ t quite follow what ’ s going on ... who ’ s winning ? +The Giants are up by three points because of the field goal they kicked , but the Redskins have the ball and there pretty close to the end zone . +Wow ! What a hit ! +Yeah , he tackled him so hard his helmet came off . +Is he ok ? +It looks like it , he ’ s getting up . +I guess he hit him too hard ; the referee just called a penalty on the home team . +The Giants ? +Yeah . +Well , here we go again . +What happened ? Why did everyone get so quiet ? +The Redskin ’ s quarterback just threw a touchdown pass for seven points . We ’ re losing again . +Jack ! Do you want to see a picture of my new puppy ? +Sure . I thought people only showed off pictures of their new babies , not new pets ! +Well , this is my new baby . He ’ s just as much trouble . That ’ s for sure ! But , he ’ s a lot of fun ! +I see what you mean . He ’ s really cute . How old is he ? +I'm going to Ireland this summer . +Are you going to take your children along ? +No , I'd like to go alone . +Have a nice holiday ! +A new film is on . Have you ever seen it ? +What kind of movie is it ? +It's a feature film . +Oh , I've no interest in such films . +How old are you , Su ? +I am seven . +I see , you have seven candles on the cake . +Yes , I am seven . I am a big girl now . +We will have a party here , right ? +Yes , come on , and we will have fun . +I've had enough of that ! +Why , this is the most interesting film ! +I hate the hero.He ' s too cruel . +But it's only a film . +Honey , I've got good news for you . +What is it ? +You are going to be a father . +What ? Do you mean that you are pregnant ? Is it true ? +Yes . We'll have our baby soon . +Oh , dear , I'm so happy . +Me , too . +Hi . You enjoying the party ? +Yes , actually . I don't really know anyone , but it's a nice place . Are you having a good time ? +Yes . The drinks are very good ! I'm Paul , by the way . +Hello Paul . I'm Jane . So what do you do ? +I'm in finance . You ? +Really ? Me , too . I work for an accountancy company , T & D . Maybe you've heard of them . +T & D ? Oh , yes , sure . How long have you worked there ? +About two years . And you ? Are you based here ? +No . Actually , I'm based in Shanghai . I'm just here for the conference . So , T & D eh ... +Are you still working day and night ? +Not anymore . Now I work nine hours a day , and I get a good sleep almost every night . No more burning the candle at both ends . +The stepmother was very wicked . She couldn't stand a happy smile on the boy's face . +And ? +And she did her best to pull out the thorn in her flesh and the boy lost whatever made him happy . +Poor child ! +Excuse me , are you Sara Wilson ? +Yes , I am . You must be Tom . Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you too . Let me help you with your bags . +Be careful , Tom . Those are pretty heavy . +Wow , you're not kidding . Hold on a second . Hello , could you give us a hand , please ? +Would you mind taking your feet off the table , Mike ? +Not at all . But I've found satisfaction in it ! +Do you put your feet on your own table ? +No , I never do that . +Why not ? +I don't want to mark my table , of course . +Well , will you please put them down ? +I'm sorry . I thought you wouldn't come back so early . +I forgot something on the table . +Oh , you've got a good memory . +May I help you ? +Could I check out this book ? +Let me see your library card . +I need to get one . +You can apply for one right now , if you ’ d like . +Okay . Let me do that right now . +Could you fill out this application ? +I ’ m finished . Here you go . +Could you please sign the back of the card ? +All right . +That ’ s it . +Now may I check this book out ? +But the auction is a blast ! And I haven't even told you the best part yet ! +I don't care what the best part is . Whatever you say won't change my mind . I'm not buying anything ! +That stamp you've been looking for is for sale . +The 1879 Large Dragon ? Are you serious ? How much ? +Hey ! I thought you weren't interested ! Sorry , I've gotta go ! I'm going to switch over to eBay and see if my bid is still the highest . +I'm so excited ! We have two weeks off ! What are you going to do ? +I'm not sure . I guess I'll just stay at home . Maybe I'll catch up on my reading . What about you ? Any plans ? +Well , my parents have rented a condominium in Florida . I'm going to take long walks along the beach every day and do lots of swimming . +Sounds great ! +Say , why don't you come with us ? We have plenty of room . +Do you mean it ? I'd love to ! +I can't stand the stupid guy any longer.It ' s unbelievable ! +Oh , my dear lady.Take it easy.You should forgive a green hand like him . +He does everything so mindlessly that he is going to drive me crazy . +I suggest you talk with him and teach him how to deal with the problems . +I have told him how to do it several times , but he's never listened to me . +Maybe you should communicate with him like a friend and not a boss . +Oh , I always have difficulty in getting along with the staff . +Just take them for your good friends and have a talk with them as we do , make sure you don't lose your temper . +I think that's a bad idea . I'd hate anyone here to think of me as a friend.How would they ever respect me as they can do whatever they want ? +I disagree . All you have to do is respect the staff and their opinions . +Did you sign up for the picnic party ? +Yes , of course . I love the picnic party . It ’ s really family fun time . +This time you can bring your daughter with you . +Right , she is so excited and simply can ’ t wait . +There are times of games planned , should have a grand time . +Frank , I want your advice on something . Some scientists I met at the conference 6 this afternoon have invited me to a party . Actually , they called it an informal get-together . +And what ’ s the problem ? +When I asked how people were going to dress , Dr . Lite said it was casual . +And you want to know what to wear ? +Well , last night I went out with some journalists for a casual party , but I was overdressed . I wore what I consider casual - - an outfit of skirt , blouse , scarf , and medium heels ... you know . +That sounds just right to me . What was wrong with it ? +Everyone else there was wearing blue jeans . Several of the women had on running shoes . I felt out of place . So I have no idea what to wear tonight . +My guess is you can safely wear last night ’ s outfit to tonight ’ s party . +T he nineteenth of June is my birthday . I'm planning to have a small party . Could you come ? +Happy birthday to you ! I'd really love to come , but I'm not sure right now . I'll try to make it.Thank you for your invitation . +Who got ripped off ? +Big time ! A hacker broke into the company's files and got all her personal information . You really think it's completely safe ? +Well , maybe not 100 percent . I did hear about some tricks people use . +Now we're getting to the truth . +There are shills . A shill is someone who bids up the price of their own sale . +See ? And I bet that's easy to do online . Everybody's anonymous . +How many courses do you have for this semester ? +Eight altogether . +How are they proportioned ? +Six are compulsory , two optional . +I ’ Ve always wondered , what ’ s the difference between English for Chinese students and English for native students ? +I don ’ t know . What do you think ? +I think a Chinese student concentrates on written English , and uses it as a basis for communicating . From start to finish he ’ s learning vocabulary and fundamentals of grammar . This is a very difficult way to learn . +What do natives get ? +They get higher level English , which is more formal than everyday spoken English . They also deal with matters of style and creativity . +Do you mean that a native doesn ’ t make any mistakes in grammar ? +Absolutely not ! Native speakers make a lot of grammar mistakes , especially if they come from a home where nonstandard English is spoken . +I suppose that only a small percentage of college students don ’ t know standard English in American universities . +Actually there are more non-native speakers than you think . That ’ s why it ’ s so important to quit worrying about making mistakes . Just talk to everyone every chance you get . +Do I need a visa ? +No , I shouldn ’ t think so . But you must take your passport of course . +Yes , I know . I must get my traveler ’ s check and some foreign currency . +Yes , you need the traveler ’ s check but you needn ’ t get any foreign currency . You can have my US Dollars , I don ’ t need them . +Really ? That ’ s very good of you , Helen . But I must get a new suitcase , my old one needs repairing . +You needn ’ t buy one . You can have mine . +That ’ s very kind of you , Helen . I hope you don ’ t mind my leaving you like this . I need a holiday . It won ’ t be long . +Don ’ t be silly , John . I ’ m going with you . It ’ s necessary for me to have a holiday too . +Is that your phone ? +yes , it's my new business phone . Do you like it ? +it's very impressive . Can you use the Internet on your phone ? +yes , it's got wireless Internet access . +that's really convenient . Does it have the Bluetooth ? +yes , but I don't really use it that often . Have you ever used it ? +no , but I think it'd be really great for people like you who are always on the go . +yes , I guess I should try to use it . +does it have a camera ? +of course it does . Doesn't every new phone include a camera these days ? +I guess so . Would you mind if I checked my email quickly ? I'm supposed to be getting an important email this evening from a client . +sure . Here you go . +have you checked your voicemail recently ? +no , why ? +I think this icon means that you have a voicemail message . +oh , yeah . Probably . I don't really know how to use this phone yet . +do you want to listen to your messages first ? +no , it's ok . Check your email first ; I'll check my unbox later . +I'm surprised you don't use more of the features on your phone . +I'm surprised you know so much about it . Where's your phone ? +it quit working last week and I haven't had a chance to buy a new one yet . +how have you been living without a cell phone for a week ? hasn't it been driving you carry being without a phone ? +it's not that bad . It kind of feels like I'm on vacation , not having to answer my phone all the time ! +let's go shopping . You can't depend on public phones in this day and age ! +Are you feeling better today , Bill ? +Well , it ’ s hard to say . I coughed a lot in the evening . +You ’ d better give up smoking . It ’ s bad for your health . +You ’ re right . But you know it ’ s so hard to give up the old habit like smoking . +But you should make up your mind first . +You know I often have to work far into the night . I need smoking to keep me awake . +Why don ’ t you go to bed early and get up early ? You ’ ll have the same time for work . +Thank you for your advice . I ’ ll try it . +What are your weekend arrangements ? +There're many things I can do on weekends . +What sort of things are you interested in ? +I'm keen on talking short trips to nearby scenic spots . More often than not , I go with some of my friends . By the way , what are your favorites ? +I love swimming and cycling . On Sunday morning I have swimming practice for an hour . In the afternoon , I just ride my bike around the city or along the country roads for almost two hours . +That's great ! I think they do you a lot of good . Where do you swim ? +Mostly in the city's swimming pool . But on occasion , I go to the beach with friends . Well , what do you do at leisure ? +I'm fond of dancing . +Good.You really know how to enjoy yourself . +Why did the boss come down on Joe like a ton of bricks . +He spoke evil behind his back . +How did he know that he had bad mouthed him ? +Someone told Joe off . +He is then in a very difficult situation . +Sure . He ’ ll get the bag , I think . +I'm sorry for spilling my drink on your rug . +There's no need to apologize . +But I ruined your rug . +Forget it . It was an accident . +Why are you cut up recently , Nancy ? +I ’ Ve just parted with my boyfriend . +Oh , cheer up . A boyfriend is not everything . +But I cannot forget him . +We'd like a half-day package . +We offer many different sea water treatments . +How many can we choose ? +The aquamedic pool is included . You can choose three . +We'll do the seaweed wrap , the jet bath , and the foot massage . +OK . Here are your robes . You can go shower first . +Are you going to Helen ’ s birthday party on Friday evening ? +I wouldn ’ t miss it for the world ! It ’ s sure to be fun . She ’ s invited a lot of people . Do you think everyone will be able to get into her house ? +If everyone turned up , it would be a squeeze , but a few people said that they couldn ’ t go , so I think it should be ok ? +Are you taking anything ? +I ’ Ve got her a birthday present and I ’ ll take a bottle fo wine too . +That ’ s a good idea . She told me that she had bought plenty of food and snacks . I think it ’ s going to be a noisy party . I hope her neighbours don ’ t mind too much . +Helen gets on very well with her neighbours . I wouldn ’ t be surprised if they went to the party too . +I ’ m ready looking forward to it . This party is going to be a blast ! +Well , don ’ t be late . I ’ ll see you on Friday at Helen ’ s . +I hated the hand-me-downs to wear when I was a kid . +That ’ s understandable . Every kid likes new clothes . +It was not just that . I didn ’ t like them because they never fitted me . +Shall we have two tickets for for seven thirty ? +Yes , Would you like to have the seats in the front or at the back ? +In the front , please . +What did you do last vacation ? +I learned to drive and I got a driving license . +What will you do this vacation ? +Travel . +Do you like Barry ? +No , not very much . He ’ s too ambitious and dishonest . +I agree . I like his brother , Paul . They are not alike . +Yes . They are completely different . Paul is very sociable and much more honest than his brother . +What kind of person do you consider yourself to be ? +I think I ’ m polite , careful , relaxed and shy . +Oh , I don ’ t think you ’ re shy ! You are always chatting with new people when we go to a party . +Well , yes , but those people always start talking to me . I never talk to them first . Perhaps I ’ m not as shy as I think . Anyway , you ’ re certainly not shy ! +You ’ re right . I love going out and making new friends . +So , you ’ ll be at my birthday party on Friday ? +Of course ! +Hello 。 this is Susan . +Hello , I ’ m Mark . I ’ m just wondering if you are free this weekend . +Yes , I think So . +Good . I was thinking that I ’ d like to invite you to watch a movie . I can meet you at the cinema gate . +What ’ s the time ? +Six thirty , tonight . +Oh , I ’ m sorry I can ’ t.because I have to do some housework.You can ask Jenny to go with you . +All right.Maybe next time I can go with you.Bye ! +Good bye ! +Congratulations ! Is it a boy or a girl ? +It's a boy . +What do you think are the most important things to do when running a business ? +Well , there are several things . Of course , you must do everything you can to keep costs down and revenues high . +So , do you think workers should be paid as little as possible ? +No . if you do that , the workers won ’ t like their jobs . They will be less efficient and you will get a high staff turnover . Those things will increase you costs . +How can a business maximise revenues ? +You need to invest in some good advertising . You have to know where your potential customers are and target them . It ’ s no good trying to sell computer games to older people . The market is too small . +What else do you suggest ? +Find out what other companies charge for the same products or services . Price yourself near the low end . Don ’ t be much cheaper than everyone else , because many customers distrust very cheap things . They think that is must be poor quality if it ’ s that cheap . +This paper absorbs water so quickly ! +Yes , it's great for cleaning up spills . +John has some trouble in his life . +I hear that his father died . +Yeah . He ’ s been having an easy time since he was a boy , and now he doesn ’ t know how to face the music . +He is out of luck . +Welcome back , soccer fans . My name is Rick Fields and , as always , I am joined by my commentating wingman , Bob Copeland . +And we ’ re on the brink of soccer history today , as Ecuador and Brazil are tied one-one as we begin the second half of the 2022 World Cup ! +The ref calls the players for the kick off , and here we go ! Ecuador quickly passes the ball to the midfield , but , oath , it ’ s out of bounds . +That will be a throw in for Brazil . Adriano has the ball and makes a long pass to Robin , and the ref has called him offside . +No question about it . He was offside by a mile ! We have a goal kick for Ecuador . Edison Mendez heads it to Valencia , he shoots ! Deflected by the defender and we have a corner kick . +Delgado takes the corner . We have a foul ! Oh no , Did , the goalkeeper , has fouled the Ecuadorian player ! He gets a yellow card and that will be a penalty kick ! +This is the perfect opportunity for Ecuador to get ahead in this match and become World Champions ! He gets ready for the kick . He shoots ! and he ... +Hi , I'm Jake . I'm new to the choir . What's your name ? +Hello , there , my name is Tonia . +Do you sing alto ? +Actually , I can do both soprano and alto but the director asked me to sing alto for the next perforate . What about you . +Looks like we both float back and forth . I'm baritone . +Our bass section is really good . You're going to love singing with them . +I heard them warming up earlier . You're right . +It's good to have you in the group . We can always use a good baritone ! +How happy you are ! Next Monday is your wedding day . Congratulations ! +Thank you ! +Fred is really a good guy . And he loves you so much . +Yeah . I'm lucky to be his wife . +He's after your own heart , it is important . +So he will make a perfect husband . Make sure you will be here next Monday . +I promise ! +Hey , buddy . Are the fish biting today ? +They sure are . They are practically jumping in the boat . +Is that so ? Well , what kind of bait are you using ? +We're catching most of our fish with lures . +Lures ? We're using live bait over here . +What kind of live bait are you using ? Worms or minnows ? +We're using worms . +Are you having any luck with the worms ? +No , we haven't even gotten a nibble today . +That's too bad . Why don't you try using lures instead ? +I would , but I don't have any in my tackle box . +That's too bad . Well , where are you fishing ? +I'm just fishing from the shore . How about you ? +We went out in our boat . I have a favorite fishing hole out there . +Sweet.Can you tell me where it is ? +Oh no , I can't tell you . It's a secret . Say , why don't you go over by the lily pads and try fishing there ? +Do you think that's a good spot ? +Sure , I used to catch my legal limit of bass there all the time . +Thanks . I think I'll go check that out now . +Good luck . I hope you each some fish . +So John , have you ever been to China before ? +No , I haven ’ t . This is the first time I have been to China . +Have you travelled to many other countries ? +To be honest , I have never been to an Asian country before but I have visited many countries in Europe . +What about America ? Have you ever been to the United States ? +Actually , I haven ’ t been to the states but I have been to Canada . +What kind of movies do you like , Sue ? +I like all kinds of stuff . I admit I love romance . +Just like my wife . So , what ’ s your favorite movie ? +You mean my favorite movie of all time ? I guess I ’ d have to say “ pretty woman ” . +Yeah , my wife likes that one , too . Personally , I prefer action movies . +By the way , could you tell me what day it is today ? +Well , it's Thursday today . +And the date , please . +The 5th . +What will you do now ? Propose to her . +Of course I won't chill out . Opportunity knocks only once . +You should strike while the iron is hot . +You're right . I will have a talk to her about that . +Would you allow me to drive your car ? +No problem , but you've got to be careful . +Surely I will . +Here's the key then . +I could get along fine without all the office politics . +What's going on ? +There is a position I've had my eye on for several months now and I had good reason to believe that it was mine for the asking . +So what happened ? +We were awarded government funding last year and in order to keep it we have to hire so Ay new employees . +So what does that have to do with this position ? +Someone in the main office has a nephew who he thinks can slide right into the Management position I wanted . +All under the precept of keeping the funding ? That stinks . +Hello , Hanson . Today I come to say goodbye to you , for I'm going back to London tomorrow . +No , not so soon . Couldn ’ t I persuade you to stay a couple of days more ? +Much as I wish to but I really can ’ t . I've already booked the flight . +I hope this won ’ t be our last meeting . +Of course not . You can come to London to visit me in future . And I also will come here if I have a chance . +I will miss you . +I will miss you , too . You're really a good friend . +It's a pity that I'm too busy to see you off tomorrow . +It doesn't matter . +Take care of yourself and remember to keep in touch . +I will . +Goodbye and have a good flight . +Thankyou . Goodbye ! +What are you reading ? +It ’ s an article about language . It talks about the idea of having a single global language . +It seems that English already is the main global language . Does the article suggest that there should be an artificial language like Esperanto as the world language . +Actually , it suggest English . The main argument is that English is already being studied as a second language in most countries-china , India , mexico , Nigeria , Pakistan , and japan – so beginning again +Does the article say anything about other language ? How will they survive in an English-speaking world ? +The article points out that many languages have been lost and will be lost , but others will continue to be used for generation , even if English continues to be the dominant language . +Hello ? +Hi , Shelley . Have you had lunch ? +Not yet . +So shall we have lunch together ? I ’ d like to take you this time . +I ’ d like to , but I can ’ t . +How come ? +I ’ Ve a lot of paper work to do right now . I ’ m behind schedule . +All right . Can we make it another time ? +Sure , thanks . +I ’ ll call you later . Bye . +Bye . +Our neighbour ’ s tape recorder is so loud that it annoys us to death . I ’ Ve made up my mind to cut the electricity off . +What ? That would be to cut off your nose to spite your face . +Then what shall we do ? +Call the police . +Welcome to our school . If you need any help , please come to me . +You are so kind . Thank you very much . +What do you think about violence in movies ? +Personally , I'm not for it . I feel it's bad for kids to watch . +But kids like watching things like that . It's just for fun , would't you say ? +If you ask me , I have to disagree . Something shouldn't be watched for fun . +I know you are a good dancer . What dances do you like ? +I like the old styles of dance . Such as fox-trot , waltz , rumba , tango and so on . They're all graceful . +Why do you like old styles of dance ? +Why not ? Do you think I should like modern dance ? +I think so , because most young people like modern dances , such as rock and roll . +Oh , sorry . I don't like them . Why not ask Lily . She likes modern dance . +OK , I will.Thank you . +Can you help me do an internet search ? +Sure . What do you want to find ? +I want to find information on World War Two . +Well , can you be more specific ? There are a lot of websites about that . +Yes , I want to know about the Normandy Landing . +Ok . Well , go to www.google.com , and type in Normandy Landing . +Oh , wow ! There are lot of sites . +Here , try this one . It's a good site about Normandy Landing . +Thanks . +For detailed information , however , you should read a history book . +Thanks . If I am interested , I'll go to the library . +I want to redo this poster , but John and Mary think it's good enough as it is . +I'm on your side . It needs to be done over . +We're lucky today . +Yes , there aren't any clouds in the sky and we've got such a beautiful view here . Look ! This is St James Park . And there's Buckingham Palace +Where's Hyde Park ? +It's on the other side of the Palace . +That's the place where people make speeches on Sundays , isn't it ? +Yes , you're right . Politicians of all kinds , religious people , and one or two madmen . +Well , are we going there today ? I want to take shots there . +Sure . I can see you're enjoying your trip today . +Of course . Everything's so striking and fascinating . +Hi , John , how was your vacation ? +Awesome , we went to Australia and New Zealand . +That must have been wonderful . Do anything interesting ? +Well , we went bungee jumping when we were in Australia . +Wow ! Isn ’ t that dangerous ? +A little , but the rush was worth it . +Tell me about it . +We jumped off a bridge and fell 500 feet before the bungee cord caught us . +500 feet ! I would never be able to do that . +Yeah , it was scary , but exhilarating . +How ’ s the food ? +It ’ s pretty good . +Well I don ’ t think so . I don ’ t like it at all ! +I ’ m afraid you ’ re being too particular about your food . +I eat dog food when my parents are out . +We ’ re in the same boat ! I ’ Ve eaten fast food the whole week . I hate it now . +Poor us ! All this junk food lacks nutrition ! +Let ’ s dine out tonight for a change ! +Good idea ! +I'm afraid we can't increase salary this year , money is just too title . +I'm not sure I can't agree , dan . +Why not ? +Surely , there are other ways to save money . +What are you talking about , we tried everything ! +I ’ m sure you never dare to go against your wife . +Why should I go against her ? She always seems to have better ideas . +Have you ever got the goods on her for wrong doings ? +Get the goods on her ? She never allows me to go to her office . And she is a good woman . She has been faithful all these years . +Well , it ’ s nice to have a husband like you . +I'm calling to say good-bye . +When do you leave ? +I'm catching the eleven o'clock train . +Take care of yourself and don't forget to keep in touch . +Goodbye . Thanks again for everything . +Can we have two tickets for this evening's film ? +Sure.Which one ? +Titanic . +Where do you want to sit ? +Front , please . +Are these seats all right ? They're in the second rows . +Do you have seats in the fourth or fifth rows ? +Sorry.We ' Ve nothing further back . +All right.We ' ll take the second row.By the way , how much is it ? +Thirty yuan . +Fairly expensive . +Hi , come on in . Can I take your coat ? +Sure , thanks . I brought you a bottle of wine as well . +You're the first guest to arrive . I'll just put your coat away and then I'll get you something to drink . +Should I take my shoes off ? +Whatever you prefer . +This is a very nice place . How long have you been living here now ? +Just over three weeks . Would you like a drink ? +Sure , what do you have ? +I've got white wine , red wine , gin and tonics , ginger ale , lemonade , orange juice , and sprite . +I'll have a glass of red wine please . +One glass of red wine coming up ! +So how many people are coming for the dinner tonight ? +There's just going to be 6 of us tonight . +Oh , I thought there were going to be eight . who isn't coming ? +Marcia and Paul called to cancel at the last moment . Paul was running late and Marcia wasn't feeling well . +That's too bad.They ' re such good company . +I think there's someone at the door . Excuse me while I go and get that . +The weather is really miserable . It has been raining hard all day long . +Yes , it's so cold . +Do you think the rain is going to let up soon ? +Yes , I think so . The rainy season will be over soon . +How long does the rainy season last ? +About two months . +I can hardly stand these wet and cold days . It seems that it doesn't bother you very much . +I'm used to this kind of days . +But I prefer warm weather . +Spring will come soon . And we will have some pleasant weather then . +I hope so . +Would you like to go skating with me this afternoon ? +Oh , I'd love to . But we're going to clean our dormitory . I can't be absent . +Maybe another time . People say that boys ' dormitories are in a mess , is it true ? +In fact , our dormitory is much worse than they can be described . +It's hard for me to imagine . How can you stand that ? +You'll get used to it gradually . +Oh my God , don't you know that such living environment is not healthy ? +Yes , we do . That's why we have a cleaning every three months . +Three months ? Incredible ! +How long can I keep these books ? +A month . Don't forget to return them by the due date . +What if I can't finish them by then ? +Bring them back to the circulation desk and renew them . +Any terrible fines ? +Sure . +Are you excited about your trip next month ? +Yes and no . I can ' t wait to go to Europe , but at the same time I am terrified . +Why ? +Well , I have acrophobia . I have a chronic fear of flying . +Oh really ? I have an uncle who is also terrified of flying . It ' s not that bad though , I mean , it is pretty scary to be in this big machine flying through the air at seven hundred miles per hour . I actually have arachnophobia . +You ' re scared of spiders ? I actually have two more phobias . Acrophobia and glossophobia . +I guess that explains why you are afraid of flying , but public speaking is not that bad . +Are you kidding ? When I get on stage , my palms start to sweat , I get really nervous and I can hardly speak . +Well , I must confess I am a bit claustrophobic . I hate being in an elevator for more than 5 seconds . +We are such weirdos right ? +Hello , Rachel . It's glad to see you here . +Hi , Ross . Glad to see you , too . +I'm going to throw a party tomorrow night . Would you like to come ? +A party ? Yes . I'd love to . Thank you for inviting me . Will Monica come ? +Of course . +That's great ! What time will it start at ? +At 6 o'clock . +OK . I'll come . See you then . +See you . +How could you have done that without asking me first ? +I didn't realize you felt so strongly about it . +Well , you should have thought . +I'm sorry . I'll ask next time . +Would you like to have dinner with me tonight ? +Oh , that sounds great ! +I ’ ll pick you up at ... say , 7,30 ? +Yes , that would be perfect . +See you tonight then . +Yes . Thank you for inviting me . +How are you getting along with your paper ? +I haven't finished it . It is very difficult . +You should hand it in before next Sunday . +Oh , I know . I will try my best . +I believe you can do a good job . +Would you like to come to our party ? +I'd like to . But I'm not myself today . +what happened ? You look so pale . +It's the end of the world for me . +What makes you say that ? +Today , I'm told I failed three courses . +Oh , that's too bad . Work harder next term . +I'm such a fool that duplication of effort is only a waste of time to me . +Don't loose heart . Everything will be fine . +I hope so . +I had a terrible journey back from Bangkok last week . +Really ? Why ? What happened ? +Well , first of all , the taxi that was taking me from the client's office to the airport broke down on the freeway . +Oh , no . +Yes , and the driver didn't speak any English or Chinese and he didn't have a phone on him-can you believe it ? - and his radio didn't work . So there was no way he could get in touch with the office to get them to send another taxi . +So what did you do ? +Well , I actually thumbed a lift . +You what ? +Yes , I stood on the side of the freeway and stuck my thumb out , and a passing truck stopped and took me to the airport . +Wow , good for you . +Yes , except he drove really slowly , and I missed my flight . +Oh , no ! +Yes , so I had to wait three hours for the next one . I didn't get home till four in the morning , and when I got home I realized I'd left my house keys in my hotel in Bangkok . +You really have bad luck , don't you ? +Seems like it . +Do you have change for a hundred ? +Sure . +Have you read the new rules about using cell phone at work ? +Yes , not bad . Like turn your cell phone ringer off and find a private place to make calls which it ’ s showing your respect to your co-workers . +Well , but for this one , don ’ t bring your cell phone to meetings , I think it is not reasonable . What if there are some important calls ? +Well , this one is not compulsory . It is just suggestion . +I didn ’ t pay attention to that . +Do you know about All Fools ' Day ? +On that day , people play all kinds of tricks on others , and the one easily taken in is called April fool . +April fool ! +April the first is coming.Be careful ! +Daniel , I can't catch up with the English teacher very well . +What's the problem ? +You are quite good at English , can you help me with it . +That's OK . But you'd better take an additional course in some English schools . +English school ? What is that ? +This kind of school is good at helping people to improve their English . +Is that different from our school's English course ? +Yes , before you start your training , they will test you on your English first . +Have you ever seen coco ? +I've seen her on TV but not in the flesh . +I'm so familiar with her songs , but I don't know what kind of person she is in real life . +Joseph , who is that woman ? +That's Susan . +What does she do for work ? +She's a lawyer . +Is she American ? +No , but she speaks English fluently . +She's really tall . Do you know her ? +Yes , I know her . We're friends . +Who's that man standing next to her ? +Which man ? +That short guy on her right . What's his name ? +Oh , that's Matt . +He's really good looking . +Yeah . +Do you know him ? +I don't know him , but I think my sister does . +Is he married ? +Yes , he's married . +I remember now . I met him before . +I ’ Ve gotta hand it to you , you really did a good job ! +So glad that you think so ! +I think you deserve a promotion . +Oh , really ? Thanks a lot ... well , I still have a lot to learn , I guess . +Are you going abroad to study ? +I'll have to think about it . +Billy , you are late again . +I'm sorry I'm late . I overslept . Is the manager here today ? +Yes he ' s in his office . +Oh , I hope he didn't notice me . +Don't take any chances . It'd be best if you told him and promised not to be late again . He's already mad at you for last 2 times . Any more and he might fire you . +You said it . It won't happen again . Do you really think he'd fire me ? +I think he might . You'd better go to his office . +You are probably right . I'll go right now and apologize . I try hard not to be late but it is difficult with Beijing traffic . +Good luck ! +Sam , what shall I do with my stocks ? Will I lose money ? +There ’ s a possibility . +What do you mean by that ? +I mean if you don ’ t sell your shares now , it ’ s quite likely that you ’ ll end up losing your shirt . +Is that so ? +Absolutely . Take my word for it . +Ann invited us to dinner this saturday afternoon . +What should we take ? +How about a china vase ? +Good idea ! +Which of the two do you think is better ? I mean , what's the difference between them ? +Well ... this one costs more , but it has a much better sound.This part of it is made of wood , not plastic . And there's a tone control , too . +I only want it for the kitchen . I like to listen to the news at breakfast time . +Hmm ... well , the other one is good for the money . It's much cheaper . We sell clot of them and all our customers are satisfied with them . +Hmm ... I'd like the cheaper one , please . Can I pay hy cheque ? +Certainly . +Did you have a good weekend ? +Yes , thanks . Did you ? +Not bad . What did you do ? +I went to Tamshui . You ? +I wasn't feeling too well , so I stayed at home . +What do you do for a living ? +I ’ m a doctor . +Really ? Do you like it ? +Yes , I do . It ’ s very interesting . What ’ s your job ? +I ’ m a bus driver . +Oh , do you enjoy it ? +No , I don ’ t really like it . It ’ s boring . +I'm sorry , Sam . I don't want to go to the folk concert . +How about going to the theatre ? +I don't like going to the theatre . +Well , what do you like doing ? +Travelling , swimming , going to the cinema . And you ? +I like painting , sailing , watching football and talking to you . +I like talking to you , too . +Do you want to go to an exhibition ? There is one at the Xinghai Exhibition Hall tomorrow . +That's a good idea . +You want to go to the movies tonight ? +Sure ! What ' s playing ? +The new Twilight movie ! +Twilight ? As in the vampire movies ? No way , I am watching that , but I don ' t understand why everyone is so excited about these films about vampires . It doesn ' t make sense . +Of course it does . It ' s like a modern tale of Romeo and Juliet . You can see a couple who are in love but can ' t be together because they are so different . And in the fact that immortality and super human strengthen this really sexy and there you have it ! Plus the cast is hip , young people that make the movie even more enticing . +I don ' t buy into that . I think it ' s just a fad . Pretty soon this will pass and everyone will be into wear-wolves or zombies ! +What kind of person do you consider yourself to be ? +I think I'm polite , careful , relaxed and shy . +Oh , I don't think you're shy ! You are always chatting with new people when we go to a party . +Well . Yes , but those people always start talking to me . I never talk to them first . Perhaps I'm not as shy as I think . Anyway , you're certainly not shy ! +You're right . I love going out and making new friends . +So , you'll be at my birthday party on Friday ? +Of course ! +Let's invite Bobbie and John to our party , OK ? +You can never do that . +Why ? +There's been bad blood between them since Bobbie took away John's girlfriend . +You look really wiped out ? +I had meetings back to back all morning . And phone rang off the hook from the minute I walked into the office . +Not a good day . I hate to tell you that Mr . Thomas wants to see the profit ’ s statement for new project tomorrow morning . +I can ’ t believe it . I guess I ’ ll be here until 10 again tonight . +Is this a photo of your family ? +Yes , it is.It was taken just before I was leaving for college . +You look so lovely . +How time flies ! I'll not see twenty again . +Can you speak Japanese ? +Yes , I can , but not very well . +Where did you learn it ? +At school . And I'm still learning it now . +How long have you been learning it ? +About three years . +Can you speak any other languages ? +I'm afraid not . +Mary , do you remember when we met ? +I won't ever forget it ! I was sitting in the cafeteria all by myself ... +And I came up and asked to sit by you ... +Oh , it seems like it was just yesterday . +May , we are fools to hang out at noon . It's dying hot today . My skin is too weak to be exposed under the summer sun . +Do you have any sunscreen lotion ? +You know , honey , I used it all on the way over . +I think I'm getting a heart stroke . +The heat is driving crazy and I hate my new hat . +Why ? It's brand new , and it's perfect on you . +But I bought it to get rid of the heat . Now it does nothing but burning my head . +Beauty costs , honey . +Laugh all you want , whatever . We need to get out of the heat . +Walking under the sun is certainly not the way . +Give me a break . It's not funny . +Right . Sorry . Anyway , the radio said that it'll rain later today . +Hope so ! Good thing is that autumn is just around the corner . +Do you know much about computers ? +Not a great deal . +I've just been reading an article about them . They'll be used for all sorts of things now . +For accounting system and things like that , you mean ? +Yes , but they are used for other things , too . Do you remember when we went to buy a ticket for the flight to Paris . +Yes ? +The man asked where we want to go , then he type out the information on the form and waited for a reply . A few moment later , he gave us two tickets . +Of course , his machine must have been connected to a computer . +That's right . +It ’ s time for me to go now . +Would you like me to go with you ? +I ’ d rather you stayed in the office and did these things . +Do you want to type that letter ? +I ’ d rather you typed it . +Do you want to tell her ? +I ’ d rather you told her . +Which season do you like best ? +I like spring . +Why ? +Oh , everything comes back to life in spring and the weather gets warmer . +I like spring , too.We can go for a walk and enjoy the fresh air . +John , my father isn't there at all . Are you kidding ? +Poor fellow ! What's the date today , buddy ? +It's ... OH , it's the first of April , April Fools ' Day . +You forgot all about it , didn't you ? +I've booked an air ticket to Venice . +How long will you be there ? +I'd like to stay there for a week . +So you'll have a tour of the famous city . +Certainly . +Oh , the ink is spilled on the desk . +Did it spill on your clothes ? +No , but the table cloth was dirty . +That's OK . +I'm afraid it's too hard to wash off the stain . +It's no big deal . +I really feel great shame . Let me buy a new one for you . +Don't be silly , forget about it . +Are you a happy married man ? +Yes , I am . My wife and I understand each other . +You are a lucky man . How about Mr . Smith . +I don't know . But they say that Mrs . Smith wears the pants in the house . +You mean she bosses her husband around ? +That's right . She is pretty , but she wants to control everything in his life . +The country is strong only in appearance . Don ’ t you think so ? +Yes . In fact there are quite a large number of people who have no food to eat and no place to live in . +You can say that again . The government must open it ’ s eyes to the fact . +Elaine ’ s back from school . I think it might be a nice gesture if you asked her out . I suppose she ’ s not good enough for you , is that it ? +Look , Elaine Robinson and I do not get along . +How do you know ? You haven ’ t seen her since high school . I guess your evenings , whatever you do with them , are just too valuable . +That has nothing to do with it ... +I guess I ’ ll just have to tell Mr . Robinson that you ’ re too busy every evening – doing God knows what ... God don ’ t go on like this . If you absolutely refuse to take her out ... +I do . +Then I will simply have to invite all the Robinson ’ s over for dinner on Thursday . +It smells like an ashtray in here ! +Hi honey ! What ’ s wrong ? Why do you have that look on your face ? +What ’ s wrong ? I thought we agreed that you were gonna quit smoking . +No ! I said I was going to cut down which is very different . You can ’ t just expect me to go cold turkey overnight ! +Look , there are other ways to quit . You can try the nicotine patch , or nicotine chewing gum . We spend a fortune on cigarettes every month and now laws are cracking down and not allowing smoking in any public place . It ’ s not like you can just light up like before . +I know , I know . I am really trying , but I don ’ t have the willpower to just quit . I can ’ t fight with the urge to reach for my pack of smokes in the morning with coffee or after lunch ! Please understand ? +Fine ! I want a divorce ! +Jack , could you check your calendar ? +Sure , what's going on ? +We're planning a weekend camping trip , and we want to know which weekend is best for everyone . +Let me see ... The weekend after next looks pretty good.Otherwise , I'm all booked up . +It is reported that the temperature is going to drop dramatically tonight . +Really ? +Yes . So you'd better dress warmly before you go out . +I will . Thanks for telling me . +What's wrong , Dave ? You look down today . +I didn't pass the English exam . How to learn English well ? Can you give me some suggestions ? +Well , English is a " paper tiger " . Its natural enemy is adequate practice . +I have done a lot of reading comprehension exercises , and I also spend much time in memorizing English words . +I suggest you read English texts aloud every day , and try to speak more . That will be beneficial to cultivate your sense of the language . +Really ? I'll have a try . Maybe I will get high marks next time . +The answer for number 6 is C , 7 is B , 8 is A ... +Ms . Lee , could you tell me what number 7 is again ? I didn't catch you . +Sure . 7 is B . Any others ? +No , thank you . +Look ! That man who is baking bread is so handsome . +Watch his bread , it seems to be delicious . He had a lot on the ball . +Oh , my god ! He ’ s so perfect . +I don't know what I'm going to do . I need to find a job . If I don't , I won't be able to stay here next semester . +Have you tried university part-time jobs ? +What do you mean ? +I mean in the library , or in some information center.Often the university hires foreign students for part-time positions . +Yes , I know . I tried that.They don't have anything now . So what can I do ? +Well , since you're a foreign student , it's hard.That ' s because it's actually illegal for you to work in America . +I know that . You don't have to tell me that . That's my problem . I know I have the right to work for the university . That's legal.But they don't have a job for me . And it's illegal for me to get a job elsewhere . +Anyway , there must be some solution.You know there are many people working illegally in New York . +But I need a pretty decent job . I need to make enough to pay my rent at least . +I have an idea . +What ? +Since you're Chinese , maybe you can find part-time work in Chinatown . +I already had that idea . +Well , why don't you go and look down there ? +But I don't know what I would do . +It may be part-time work as a waitress or something.It would be illegal , but sometimes waitresses make a good salary . +Maybe . I don't know . +I will ask my friends for you.Maybe someone knows a company that needs part-time people.That ' s another thing you should do . Ask all your friends to ask around for you.You might find something . +I have to find something.Otherwise I have to go back to Taiwan . I'll be broke in two months . +I have some photos here taken by myself . Would you like to see them ? +Sure . Speaking of photos , what type of film will be the best ? You know , I'm planning a tour to Jiuzhaigou Valley . +I would get Fuji 200 film for taking photos of natural beauty . +Thank you so much . You're an expert . +Excuse me , Professor , is there a time when I could meet with you ? +I could meet with you tomorrow anywhere from two until four ; what time works out best ? +I would like to come in at three o'clock . +I am glad that that works out ; can you find my office ? +Yes , I can . +Just follow the walkway to the outside and climb the stairs to the third floor . +I got it . +If you do get lost , just ask someone in the building to point the way . +Thank you , I'll be there . +If you need to cancel your appointment , please give me a call ! +At what age do children start school in your country ? +At five . +Do boys and girls go to school together ? +Yes , they do . +Do you think this is a good idea ? +Yes , I do . +Do some children go on to university ? +Yes , they do . +What examinations do they take first ? +O levels and A levels . +How long do you usually stay at university ? +Three or four years . +Are you okay , man ? You don ’ t look very well . +Ugh , I feel terrible . I went out last night with Trevor , and things got a little out of hand . +Nice ! So , where did you guys go ? +We hit a couple of local bars , and met up with some friends . Everything was cool until Mike came along , and it turned out that it was his birthday yesterday ! +Oh no ! Mike ’ s birthday is a drinkfest for sure ! +Tell me about it ! We drank everything in the bar ! +Is that why you missed work today ? +Yeah . I woke up this morning feeling really nauseous . I threw up like five times . +Www ! +I was so dehydrated that I drank like a gallon of water , and my head has been pounding all day . I swear , I ’ m never gonna drink again ! +Too bad man , tonight is Tracy ’ s going away party and she asked if you were gonna go . +Oh , yeah . I ’ m there ! +Hey Claire , you've been really quiet these last few days . Is something wrong ? +I've been really stressed . It's the end of the year and I've got so much stuff to do ! I feel like I'm drowning in work . +Well , stress is a real thing . It's not an imaginary condition . +It's seriously affecting my life ! I can't sleep , I don't have much of an appetite and my husband says I've been kind of short tempered . Other people seem to handle stress okay ... why am I so weak ? +You're not weak ... you're stressed out ! Stress has been a part of the human condition for millions of years . Back when we still lived in the trees we had to watch out for predators ... and as you might imagine , that was pretty stressful . +Yeah , but I don't see any tigers or leopards roaming around our office . My stress is just about silly paperwork ! +But you're actually having the same reaction as our tree-dwelling ancestors ! It's called the flight or fight response . Each time you feel like something's threatening you , your body decides whether to run away or fight ... it causes all sorts of chemical reactions in the body . +So a deadline will cause that same reaction ? +It could . Modern humans actually have more flight or fight responses than our ancestors did . They just had a couple of close calls every day , but today , we have dozens or even hundreds ! +So the life of a cave woman was less stressful than my life ? +Hey , Mary , what's up ? +Not much . Last night I met this great guy at the bar and we had such a wonderful time that we decided to meet again tonight . +Oh , that's exciting . What's this guy like ? Is he hot ? +Well , I ddin't think so at first . But as we started talking , I found him extremely funny and witty . I couldn't stop laughing at his jokes ! We have so much in common . We like the same teams , music , and most amazingly , we both love Chinese food ! I have the feeling that we are going to be great friends . +It seems you two are a good match . What qualities do you look for in a friend ? +There's nothing definite I think . I don't have a list or anything , but when I first meet somebody , I can usually tell whether or not that person is going to be a good friend . It seems I have a radar helping me spot new friends . +Well , that's something I've never heard of . But if you ask me what I value most in a friend , I would have to say honesty . +I agree . You can't expect a close relationship with a dishonest person . Those are the people that will turn their back on you when you are in need . +Yeah , I know . A friend in need is a friend indeed . I don't need fair-weather friends either . +I must be going now . +Really ? Can't you stay a little longer ? +No , I really must go now.My family are expecting me home soon . +Be seeing you then ! +See you ! +When you are in a restaurant you want the waiter to bring the bill , what do you do to attract his attention ? +I just make eye contact with him and nod my head . Then I tell him when he comes over to the table . Why do you ask ? +I went out with my girlfriend to a nice restaurant last night and I noticed that many people shouted for the bill . +That seems a little impolite in such a restaurant . +That ’ s what I thought . I just thought I ’ d ask you and see what you thought of it . Anyway , what did you do yesterday evening ? +Well , it was a warm evening , so I stretched my legs . I walked along the canal for a couple of miles . Actually , several other people had the same idea . I saw Bill . +Did you ? How is he these days ? +He seemed ok . We didn ’ t stop and chat because we were on opposite banks of the canal . We just waved at each other . +I need to move some furniture . Could you help me to lift it ? +Of course . What do you want to move first ? +Let ’ s move the sofa . Can you get a grip on the bottom at that end ? I ’ ll lift this end . I want to move it sideways in that direction . +Guess what ? +What ? +I don't like this movie . It's a bomb . +Look , I've already paid for the tickets , so whether you like it or not we're going to finish watching it . +Well , give me the Walkman . I'll listen to the music then . +Come on . Give it a chance . The movie just started . +Excuse me , Miss . +Yes . May I help you ? +I'm a graduate student here in mathematics . I've just come from China and I've never used a western library before . I'll be here for five years , so I'd like to learn to use the library as efficiently as possible . I wonder if someone might have time to show me around . +I'd be very glad to show you around , but I'm very busy right now . Could you come back about 3 thirty ? +Sure . 3 thirty this afternoon . +Good . See you later . +Thank you . Good-bye . +Don't open any of my forwards ! I got a virus ! +Don't tell me you got the dreaded Bush virus . I've heard that that bug is threatening to infect the world . +Yes , that's exactly the bug I got . Though , I do kind of like the pictures . +Those clothes do suit him better . +Wait a second-are these pictures copyrighted ? +Probably not . It's off the Internet . What difference does it make ? +Say , do you go to see your grandparents often ? +Of course , my grandpa is generous and kind.My grandma cooks the most delicious Chinese dishes in the world . +You are very lucky . +I need some flowers for my girlfriend . +No problem . Would you like some artificial carnations ? +Oh , no . Carnations are not very elegant.Artificial flowers have no passion . +How much did you want to spend ? +Money is no object . +Our most elegant flower is Golden Lily . +I will take ten . +Do you want to add some baby ’ s breath for that ? They are equally popular now . +Of course . Can I have it delivered to my girlfriend's house this afternoon ? +Yes , but there is a five dollars delivery charge . +That's ok . Here is the address . +Julie , what's on the tube ? +nothing but bench of commercials . These days the amount of commercials is amazing . +yeah . Maybe we can change to another channel . what about the sports channel ? Let's see if there's a game on . +okay . Nope , it's a replay of yesterday's soccer match between Brazil and Spain . +it was a good game , but not good enough to watch again . Keep surfing . +alright . Hmm , this movie is a rerun ... I don't know how many times I've seen this show ... Commercial again ... and a replay of the talk show ... oh no , this show is terrible , you don't wanna watch it . +oh , what is it ? +it's a total rip-off of an American reality show , but the imitation is unbearably clumsy . +oh , I know this kind of shows . Sometimes they really piss me off . If I wanted reality , I'd go outside . +yeah ... it seems what we have on TV now are either repeats , or commercials , or low-quality shows . There's really nothing to watch . +I don't get it . We have more than 100 channels and there's still nothing good on ! Maybe we should just turn off the TV , get outside , and do something real . +cool . +That woman is a thorough drag ! +What is it ? +She keeps spitting on the ground . +Maybe there's something wrong with her . +To be a revolutionary needs great courage ! +He must be courageous enough to fly in the face of established authorities . +Galileo is one of them . +So are Copernicus and many others . +Did you go to the bank to withdraw money ? +Today is so hot , besides I had so much housework to do . My friend came for a visit and stayed for two hours . I didn ’ t forget , but I had no time at all . +So you didn ’ t . Is that right ? +Yes . I ’ m sorry . +Why didn ’ t you just answer my question directly ? Why would Chinese answer questions this way ? I simply asked if you did it or not . It ’ s a very simple question . And Chinese often give the reason before they would give a direct answer . +Yes , I ’ m sorry . I know it bothers you very much . But I don ’ t know why Chinese sometimes would do this . +You know , today I asked a student if he brought his dictionary with him . It ’ s a rule I made for the class that everyone brings a bilingual dictionary with them because sometimes they don ’ t understand me . The funniest thing is that this student gave me a lot of reasons and no direct answer . +But you know if he brought it or not , right ? +Yeah , after all the explanations like , it ’ s too heavy , I was in a hurry ... whatever . +Uncle , have a heart , please lend your new car to me . Only once . +Where are you going ? +I have a big date tonight . +You have got a car , haven ’ t you ? +Oh , please . Only once lend your new car to me . +Betty and I will throw a dinner party this weekend , we ’ d like you to come . +That would be very nice . Only that I ’ ll be a little late . Is that OK ? +Sure . We ’ ll be looking forward to that day . +So will I . Thank you . +I think it's going to be a nice day . +It's certainly a big improvement over yesterday . +But it'supposed to get cloudy and windy again this afternoon . +Well , the worst of the winter should be over . +David , I heard you lost your job . +Yeah , you remember that assignment I wanted ? When I heard the manager had given it to someone else , I blew my top . So the manager fired me . +Well , that'll teach you to control your temper . +You look very professional in the suit . +The company regulates that men should wear a suit and tie in business meeting . Company policy is not negotiable . +I appreciate it . It is related to company image . +Do you know Mark ? +Yeah ! He is a nice guy . He is very helpful and always bends over backward to help those who are in need of help . +Can you introduce him to me ? +Sure . +Did you tip the bellboy ? +Yes , but I don ’ t think it was enough . He looked disappointed . I gave him three dollars . +That sounds about right to me , fifty cents a bag . If they think you don ’ t know better , they ’ ll try to get more . +It ’ s the same in Balloon . But I definitely think we over-tipped the cab driver . The fare was twenty dollars , and you gave him a five-dollar tip . That ’ s twenty-five percent of the total ! Too much ! +I disagree . He was polite and informative , and he drove smoothly . One should reward good service . +I ’ ll sign for dinner and charge it to our room.Let ’ s see.The bill is one hundred dollars . That seems reasonable . How much tip should I leave ? +Remember last month when we were in Europe ? Maybe Californians use that same system they add the waiter or waitress into the bill , so you don ’ t have to leave anything extra . +Thomas , would you be so kind as to lay the table for me ? I'm busy in the kitchen . +Of course ! Where are the things ? +They're all here . +Right ! I'll do it straight away . +Thanks a lot . I'm most grateful . +William told you that his grandmother is sick , huh ? What exactly did he say ? +He said his grandmother got cancer and has only a few weeks to live . It's really so sad ! But when I talked to him on the phone , it sounded like he was holding up really well . +It didn't sound like he was too upset , huh ? What did you tell him ? +I asked if there was anything I could do to help his family , and I told him that I could be a shoulder for him to cry on . +Well I hate to tell you this Jen , but both of William's grandmothers passed away more than five years ago . +The boss announces the pay raise today , right ? How much do you think we'll get ? +No idea . Your guess is as good as mine . +It better be more than last year . +Well , anything is better than nothing . Wait and see . +Do you like to dance ? +Sometimes , if there's music playing . +What kind of dancing do you like ? +It all depends . If it's rock music I'll do disco , and if it's romantic music I'll do ballet . +Mom , what are you doing ? +I'm clipping coupons . +Still clipping coupons ? +It's a good way to save money . +Saving money ? How much money can you save by those 1 or 2 dollar discount coupons ? +How much ? Last week I save $ 10 on food . +Sorry ! Excuse me ! I got your message . +Taylor ? Taylor ! Is this a joke ? Is it really you ? But ... but ... everyone said you were dead ! +That's OK . Just let it out . I'm OK ! I was out of town with ... Femi . +Oh , Taylor ! I'm so ... so happy . But then ... who's that ? +Taylor Smith . But not me . The pallbearers are carrying out the casket . It would be rude to just leave . Let's follow . +Okay , next question . If Eric asked you out on a date , what would you say ? +Duh ! I would say yes ! Eric is the most popular kid in school ! Okay , my turn . What would you do if you won the lottery ? +Let ’ s see ... If I won the lottery , I would buy two tickets for a trip around the world . +If you buy me a ticket I will go with you for sure ! +My dad will freak out if I even mention a trip like that ! +Alright this is a good one . What would your mom say if you told her you are going to get married ? +If I told her that , she would faint and have me committed ! +Wow , there are so many lanterns to appreciate . +Now . you can see why it's called the Lantern Festival . +Yes , it deserves its name . +Did you notice the characters on the lanterns ? +Sure . But you know that I can't read any Chinese characters . What do they say ? +They are puzzles . It's a tradition to solve the puzzles on the lanterns during the Lantern Festival . +It's interesting and I want to buy one home . +Do you have s second ? +Sure . What do you want ? +I want to tell you I've put in my notice . +Really ? Why ? +I've been thinking about this for several months , well before the Spring Festival holidays . +And the holidays provided you a chance to think over all this and make a decision ? +Yeah , after receiving my yearly bouns , I want to search out better opportunities in the spring job market . I've been working in the company for nearly a year and a half and I still haven't received a pay rise . It's unfair . +Absolutely . With your expertise and experience , you're clearly working below your pay grade . +That's exactly why I decided to quit the job and find a new one . +Hi Joe . You met my new assistant , right ? +Emm ... yes . But I wasn't too impressed . I found her a little stuck up . +You are kidding , but she's so helpful . +Tom ... you are her boss , you down . Of course , she's helpful to you . +Come on . She's like that with everyone . +I don't think so actually . She never even says " hello " to me . +What a boring film ! +The acting of the heroine is too artificial . +And the plot is so simple . +So , John , what do you do for a living ? +I ’ m a sales manager in a publishing company . +Oh , really ? That sounds interesting , what kinds of book do you publish ? +Oh , mostly fiction , lots of romance , science fiction , biography , stuff like that . +Oh , What a cool job ! How long have you worked there ? +About two years now . +Are you planning on studying abroad ? +I'd like to , but I'm not sure if I'll have enough money . +I feel pity for the old man . +I feel the same way . +It must be dreadful to grow old . +It sure is.He has no one to turn to , very miserable indeed . +Dad , you keep talking about family in New Zealand . Who are they ? +Well , that's your uncle Bill , his wife and two of their daughters . +Is uncle Bill your brother ? +No , your uncle Jack is my brother , Bill is my brother-in-law , your mom's brother . +So his two daughters are my cousins ? +That's right , Sarah and Jane are both your cousins although they are step-sisters . +What are step-sisters ? +Sarah is your uncle Bill's older daughter . When she was young , Bill's first wife , Sarah's mom died . Three years later Bill married again . +So uncle Bill's wife is Jane's mother but not Sarah's mother . Right ? +Yes . She is Sarah's step-mother . +And when are they coming to visit us ? +They want to travel to Europe next year , and will visit us at the same Ae . +I'm worried sick that she will leave me tomorrow . +It's no use arguing the toss . +Maybe I'll have to face the music . +I like pop music very much . +What ? +I said I like pop music very much.It ' s so lovely . +Is it ? +I'll help you , Lucy . Look at what I've got here . In this small bottle , there's a magic love potion . +A magic love potion ? +Yes . If you put a few drops on someone's eyelids while he's asleep , he'll fall in love with the first person he sees when he wakes up . +It can't be true . +Take my word for it . +So what am I going to do ? +Just come to our house and stay over . You'll sit by his bed and greet him like a beautiful red rose , ' Good morning ! ' +That sounds like a blue rose ! My sitting by his bed ? +Don't be so shy , Lucy . +All right , let's see who's ruining my TV time . +What are you going to do ? Call my boss and chew him out ? +Is your boss named Vic ? Your pager says , This is Vic . Here I come ! +Impossible . My pager is really old . It doesn't display messages . +Here , see for yourself . That's really strange ! It's almost the same as when I ... +Gosh , you're right ! It's from some guy named Vic . I wonder who he is ... +I'd like to say good-bye to everyone . +What time are you going ? +My plane leaves at seven twenty-five . +Well , good-bye and have a good trip ! +Good-bye . Remember to look me up if you're ever in Washington . +Well , what brings you here ? +I came to see my aunt . +Does she live nearby ? +Yes . She lives on the next block . +Don't talk too much , Tom . We are on duty today , we should hurry up . +OK . +Tom , your task is to clean the blackboard . +How about yourself ? +I'm going to sweep the floor first . +Daniel , I am not tall enough to reach the of the blackboard . +Stand on the chair , Pig Tom . Use your brain . +OK , I've finished cleaning the blackboard . +How about the podium ? +Oh , I forgot about it . I'll get it . +Be quick , please . Our teacher and classmates will come soon . +I will be done before they come . +I think he deserved his gold . +Did you see his last dive . +Yes , it's perfect ! +He's diving for the gold . +Jim , I heard you took a trip to San Diego . Is that right ? +Yeah , I just got back this morning . +That sounds really nice . What did you do there ? +Well , we were only there for three days , so we didn't do too much . We went shopping and went out to dinner a few times . And at night we walked around the city with some friends . +Did you take any pictures ? +Yes , I have them with me . Do you want to look at them ? +Sure , I love looking at photos . +This one is of my wife and me on the beach , and this one is our daughter Emily standing next to my wife . +Your daughter looks like her mother . +I know , they look very similar . +Where was this picture taken ? +That was taken at the train station before we left . +Did you have time to go to the zoo ? +No , not this time . We went there last time . +It looks like you all had a nice time . +Yeah , it was a lot of fun . +Are you interested in history ? +Yes , I am . I enjoyed studying it at school , though I had trouble remembering all the dates , so my teacher never gave me good marks . +I love history , but I ’ Ve always thought that learning the reasons behind events is more important than remembering exactly when they happened . +I wish you had been my history teacher ! I might have got better marks ! +Some people say that history repeats itself . +What does that mean ? The same events never happen twice , do they ? +The idea is that the people and dates change , but the reason why things happen stay the same . +I see . I think I ’ d agree with that statement . People often seem to make the same mistakes over and over again . +Nice day today , isn't it ? +Yes , beautiful weather we're having . +We can't complain about the weather recently . +Yes , the sun shines day after day . It's neither too hot nor too cold . +I wonder how long this weather can last . +I hope it will last fine Sorrow . I'm going to have a picnic with my family . +Excuse me , Sir , May I have the time , please ? +Beg your pardon ? +Er ... I'd like to know what time it is now . +Oh , Let me see ... It's three forty-five . Er ... wait , My watch is five minutes fast . So it should be three forty +Thank you . By the way , what day is today ? +Today is Friday . Are you new in Beijing ? +Yes , I've just come from the States , yesterday in fact . I'm still a bit confused about the time . +Welcome to Beijing . This is my business card . I'm an engineer . If you need any help in Beijing , just give me a call . +Oh , that's very nice of you . I don't want to sound pushy , but I still l have one more question . +Go ahead . +What's the date today ? +It's October the 1st , our National Day . I'd like to talk some more , but I've got to get going now . It was nice talking to you , though . +Yeah , it was nice to meet you . Hope I run into you again sometime . +I really enjoyed that film ! What about you ? +So did I . At first , I thought it was going to be boring , but then it turned to be good . +What part of the film do you like best ? +Well , the scene of the hero's struggle with enemies impressed me the most . +I loved it , too . To tell you the truth , I even dropped tears . +Actually , tears also came to my eyes . +It has got this year's Oscar Award . +It deserves it . The film gave us a lot of inspiration . +I just got a letter from an old high school buddy . +Really ? That's nice . +He usually keeps me posted . +I've been completely out of touch with my old friends . +It's hard to keep up contact when people move around so much . +Yes , people just seem to drift apart . +What did you think of the film ? +I liked it . I thought it was great . +Yes , I liked it , too . Did you like the acting ? +Yes . I thought it was excellent . Didn't you ? +Not really . I thought it was disappointing . +It's a nice cinema , isn't it ? +Do you think so ? I don't like it very much . I found it rather uncomfortable . +John's very late.Do you think he's coming ? +Well , it doesn't seem like it.He must have forgotten . +I suppose you're right.He can't have remembered . +I don ’ t know why bucks have such a great charm that a great many people are after nothing else . +They want to be filthy with dough and think it the only source of their happiness . +But many rich guys don ’ t think they are truly happy . There is always some empty feeling deep inside them . +What are you using for bait today ? +We are fishing with worms . The fish seem to like them . +Is that so ? We're using lures , and the fish are biting those too . +Looks like a lucky day for everyone . +How is your ankle ? +My what ? Oh , that , right as a trivet . +Please be careful next time . +I will , thank you . +Do you know something about Mount Tai ? +Yes . But not too much . It is considered as the head of five sacred mountains in China . +Five sacred mountains ? Why people call them so ? +Because in history , the Chinese emperors used to climb onto these mountains and pay tribute to their ancestors and pray for good harvest and prosperity for the whole nation . +Got it . Can we see any things left by them ? +Definitely . There are many wall paintings and inscriptions on the huge rocks on the mountain . +I want to see them . How can I go there ? +That is easy . You can go directly to Tai'an city and buy a ticket to Mount Tai . +Mary , this is your homeroom . It's 213 . Remember that . +What's a homeroom ? +You sit in there , listen to the morning announcement with other kids , and then you go to your classes . +Cindy , I'm scared . +But I have to go to my homeroom . +Do we have the same classes today ? +No . +Do you think the school can put us in the same homeroom ? +Stop worrying , Mary . You'll do just fine . +Helen , you must be excited at going to America to study . +Yeah , I've been looking forward to it for ages . +What do your classmates think of it ? +They give me a lot of congratulations . +How long will you study there . +Oh , maybe three years . I will study and get the master degree first . Then I will decide whether I will stay there or come back . +Which university will you go to ? +Chicago University . My major is Economics . +Good luck ! +Thank you ! +Look ! Someone is celebrating his birthday . +This must be his 21st birthday . No doubt about it . +Why ? Do you know that guy ? +No . Well , in America , 21 is the age when you're allowed to drink . So , many guys celebrate it in bars . +That's interesting . But it would be really expensive , I suppose . Just think about all the drinks . +No . If it's your birthday , then you don't need to pay a cent . Just blow out the candles and open the gifts . That makes the birthday a special day . Your friends will take care of everything . +Wow . That's wonderful . +What about in China ? What'd you do to celebrate your birthday ? +Nowadays , it's no difference from America . But in old times , we have traditional ways to celebrate it . +have you adapted to the lifestyle in China ? +yeah , almost . But there is one thing . +what ? +I still wonder what privacy meant for Chinese people . I don't mean to say that there's no privacy in China , but ... +what is it ? +some of my Chinese colleagues just share their personal stories in front of others . +that makes you feel uncomfortable ? +yeah . we never do that in a public office . +perhaps that's because we hold different ideas about privacy . +i have felt that . One day when i was in a queue , reading a newspaper story , the man behind me peered through my shoulder and stared at the newspaper I was holding . +well , that's not rare . I've seen people reading at others ' newspaper while taking a metro or a bus . +just stare at the newspaper holding in the hands of the one next to him ? +yeah . +Oh , I'm shocked . +Excuse me , Miss . +Yes . May I help you ? +I'm a graduate student here in mathematics . I've just come from China and I've never used a western library before . I'll be here for five years , so I'd like to learn to use the library as efficiently as possible . I wonder if someone might have time to show me around . +I'd be very glad to show you around , but I'm very busy right now.Could you come back about 3,30 ? +Sure . 3:30 this afternoon . +Good . See you later . +Thank you . Good-bye . +what's your apartment like ? +it's furnished two bedroom flat in a three-story building on campus . +what is it like living in on-campus housing ? +it's not as bad as I thought it would be . The freshmen that live nearby are really loud , especially on the weekends . But , the rent is much cheaper than private housing , so it's worth it . +did you have to pay a deposit ? +no , but we do have to pay 9 months rent in 6 months , so for the first months we pay 1/2 month's rent each month . +do you have to pay utilities on top of your monthly rent ? +no , it's all included . Besides , students don't have to pay council tax , so we're saving quite bit of money by living here . +how long is your contract for ? +that's the bad thing---the contract ends in June , so we'll have to find a new apartment soon . +have you started looking again yet ? +not yet . I'm hoping we'll be able to find something cheap once all the students leave the city for the summer . +Good luck ! +Have you seen the news that there is a serious flood in the South ? +Yes . I've got to cancel my traveling plan . +What a pity ! I know you've been longing for it these months . +The only thing I can do now is waiting for another chance . +You should have seen the T . V . show that was on last night , the topic it covered was really interesting , animal rights . +Do you really believe in that ? If they are going to focus on something , they should do it on civil rights . +Yes , but we can ’ t deny that animals are vulnerable , defenseless , and are completely at the mercy of human beings . +I understand your point , but we continue to have transgressions against human rights . If so much attention weren ’ t devoted to the topic of animals , we would then concentrate more on saving a human being instead of protecting a koala . +You can ’ t compare apples and oranges . I believe that both topics are important and that we can ’ t ignore them , the mistreatment of animals can cause a great environmental imbalance . I believe that governments should prohibit activities like poaching . +Well , you are right on that point . This is the reason that I don ’ t buy leather and I try to buy synthetic products . +As long as you don ’ t treat it better than your wife , it ’ s fine . +Excuse me . May I take a picture of you and your little boy ? +What ’ s it for ? +It ’ s for a book . +Oh , that ’ s a nice idea . Well , it ’ s fine if you take our picture . +Thank you . I appreciate your help . +Just dab it all over your face and then take a look at the symbols that appear . +Yeah ... hearts , stars and some weird looking things . +Those are money bags , and they represent your financial situation . +So decode this for me , Madame Psycho . +That's Madame Psychic to you . +I'm waiting ... +Well , you have three hearts — lucky in love tonight . Dress up and go on a date ! +Mary , how was your date with john ? +it's ok . It seems we have a lot in common . +oh , really . That is great news . What does he look like ? +he is tall and slim , fair-haired . +sounds like he is pretty cute . What do you think of him ? +he is a nice guy and very considerate . I was impressed with how smart he was and he has a great sense of humor . +Did you go to the concert last weekend ? +No , I didn't . And you ? Was it good ? +Yes , I did . I enjoyed it a lot.There was a folk singer , a violinist and a pianist . +How much was the ticket ? +I only paid two dollars for mine . +Hi , nice to hear from you , when does your plane leave ? +It leaves in 20 minutes . +Good . +Can you pick me up from the airport ? +Will you help me take these things to the car ? +OK , which car do you want me to put them in ? +Bring them to my wife's car . +Which one is hers ? +The blue SUV in front of the Honda . +What should I take first ? +That chair over there , but please be careful with it . It was a gift from my mother-in-law . +Don't worry , I won't drop it . Wow , it's really heavy . I don't think I can move it by myself . +Let me help you with that . I don't want you to hurt your back . +Where are you taking all this stuff ? +Didn't I tell you ? We're moving to Florida ? +You're moving now ? I knew you were moving , but I thought you said you were moving next month . +Yes , that's true , but my wife found a new apartment on the Internet the other day and she wants to move right away . +Have you received your TOWEL test results yet ? +Yes , I did . I passed ! +Congratulations ! I knew you could do it . +Well , I certainly couldn't have done it without your help . You are the best tutor I've ever had . +Thank you , but it was your hard work that did it . +You deserve credit , too . I've learned so much from You . +You didn't come to work yesterday.What happened ? +I had to look after my son at home . +What's wrong with him ? +He has a fever . +Is he getting better now ? +I think so.Thank you . +It sure is hot today . +That's for sure . I feel like I'm melting . +how's it going ? +I'm in a good mood today , actually . How about you ? +to be honest , I'm a bit fed up . +what's wrong ? +there's a girl in my company that I really like but I always get shy when she is around . +I see ! Do you want to ask her out ? +sure , but how ? +you can ask her out for drink after work . +but for what reasons ? She doesn't even know who I am . +then you've got a lot of homework to do . You need to get her notice first . +easier said than done . +you can start by meeting her at the bus stop and saying hello to her . +but I always get tongue-tied when I see her . +that's something you need to overcome . Men should make the first move as most of girls prefer being chased . +I see . I'll try . +good luck ! +It's getting late . I'm afraid I have to leave.Thank you for a most wonderful evening . +Don't mention it.Don ' t forget to take your daughter along next time . +OK . +Lisa , would you like to go to the library with me ? +OK . Do you think we can go buy a newspaper first ? +Sure . First we'll go buy a newspaper and then we'll go to the library . +Are we going to walk or drive ? +The weather is really nice today . Let's walk . +The weather is good now , but I think it's suppose to rain this afternoon . +Alright , then let's take an umbrella . Is your brother coming with us ? +No , he's still sleeping . +Wow , it's already 10:00 AM . He must have been up late last night . +Yeah , he didn't come home until 12:00 AM . +I hope he can come later . +I hope so too . I'll give him a call when we get there . +How do we get to the library from here ? +It's straight down this road on the left , next to the museum . It takes about 10 minutes . +Hi , Lucy , you are very popular with people around you , what are your tricks ? +Thank you for saying so . I don ’ t know , probably because I like sharing my experience and knowledge with them . I think this kind of communication helps to improve our work efficiency and also helps to get along with colleagues . +Sharing knowledge can be very settled and some second stances . People may think you are telling them how to do their work . If they take it personally , they feel angry at you and even become reluctant to support you at work . +That is true . Some people will misunderstand your intention and lets you do it in the long threatening way . For example , it is not sensible at all to arguing with the others or correcting someone in front of other people . To show your friendliness and willingness to share is much more important than to show off . +You are quite right . Thank you for sharing your experience with me . I learned a lot . +You ’ re welcome . +how was your education going on in Australia ? +I'm going to graduate this summer . +where are you going to work then , in Australia or back in China ? +I'm planning to return to China after graduation . +why are you choosing to leave a foreign country ? Many people are reluctant to leave the superior living environment abroad . +well , I think personal development is much more important than simply having a superior living environment . +yeah , China's developing so fast and development opportunities can be found almost in every corner of the country . +absolutely , many Chinese enterprises are going global , and they are in great need of excellent returnees to help them with their overseas business . +the rapidly expanding economy has encouraged many students to pack their bags AMD head for home . +that's right . Most of the Chinese students pursuing higher education in Australia intend to return to China . +How do you like this dress ? +It's nice . But what kind of dress are you looking for ? +Something attractive and dressy . Maybe a little sexy too . New Year's Eve is a special occasion and it only happens once a year , right ? +Of course . It's common too that we wear something special for our Chinese New Year . +People here always wear the best clothes they have . Many people go out and buy clothes especially for New Year's Eve . +Any other common customs of your New Year ? +Before the New Year , we always send greeting cards to our relatives and friends to wish them a happy year . On the street and in stores people usually greet others with a ' Happy New Year ' . It's also common for people to make a New Year's resolution . +What's that ? +It's when people quit a bad habit or do something they find hard to do . Many people resolve to quit smoking , lose weight , or stop nagging their wife , etc . However , it usually lasts only for a few days ! +By the way , where are you going on New Year's Eve ? +We're going to a night club for dinner and dancing , then we'll go down to the city square for the big celebration . There's always a fireworks display put on by the local government . We all want you to come too . +Thanks a lot . +My name's McDonald . +Is that spelt M , A , C or M , C ? +It's M , C , capital D . +Hey , you wanna see a movie tomorrow ? +Sounds like a good plan . What do you want to see ? +How about Legally Blonde . +Ah , my girlfriend wanted to see that movie . I have to take her later so I don't want to watch it ahead of time . How about The Cube ? +Isn't that a scary movie ? +How scary can it be ? Come on , it'll be fun . +Ok . I'll give it a try . +That's the spirit . I'll see you tomorrow after class . +Ok . See you tomorrow . +Could you help me to register for a class ? +Do you know what class you want to take ? +Are there any Psychology classes available ? +I believe there are still two Psychology classes open . +On what days are the classes ? +There is one class on Tuesday and Thursday from 2 to 4 . +Can you tell me about the other class ? +It's from 10-12 on Monday and Wednesday . +You're positive that these are the only classes left ? +These two are the only ones . +The class on Monday and Wednesday will be fine . +Very good . +Which season do you like best ? +Autumn . Autumn is the best season in Beijing . +I like autumn , too . Where I'm from , Autumn is the best time of year . +How would you like your hair cut ? +I want it short . +Then , I'll just trim it . +It will do . +Lucy , you ’ re back . How was your first day of school ? +It was great . I had a really good time . +What classes did you have ? +Well , I had English from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock , art from 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock , and math from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock . +What do you think about the teachers ? +To be honest , I liked all of them , except for the math teacher . Though he must be quite young , he seem like an old person . He ’ s so boring ! +That ’ s too bad . How was your English teacher ? +She was great . In today ’ s class , she gave us a lecture on how to be a good student . She told us not to arm for exams , and to pay more attention on communicating than memorizing . +Where is she from ? +She said that she ’ s from a small town in the middle of America . +Were you able to understand everything that she said ? +Not everything , but nearly . She speaks very clearly and doesn ’ t use very complex words so that it is easy for us to understand her . +She sounds like a good teacher . Do you think you ’ ll pass her class ? +Yes ... with flying colors ! +What does that mean ? +It ’ s a new phrase that she taught us today . It means that I will not only pass the class , but I will do extremely well ! +If you like the class this much already , I ’ m sure you will . +I hope so . +did she give you any homework ? +not today . She said she wanted us to relax tonight instead of doing homework , +no wonder you like the class so much . +I know you're sleepy and I hate to bother you , but I think you're late for work . +Oh , no . I forgot to turn the alarm clock on ! +Don't worry . I can give you a lift . +Thank you . You save me . +Annie , what is troubling you ? You look unhappy . +A man is pursuing me . He was my schoolmate in college , and he has been carrying a torch for me for three years . +Do you like him ? +Yes , I do like him . +Then why are you hesitating ? +You know that I have had a series of miserable relationships . Last summer , I fell in love with John . But the romance blossomed for six or seven weeks , and then wilted . +One love drives out another . You shouldn't be afraid to start a new relationship . +Maybe you are right . +How's work ? +The same as usual . +The police need our help finding a robber . +How do you know ? +The TV news is reporting a bank robbery . +Do they know what the robber looks like ? +Yes , he's 6 feet tall , 200 pounds , black hair , and about 30 years old . +What race is he ? +They didn't say . +The TV news doesn't tell us the race anymore . +Of course not . That would be racist . +But how can we identify someone if we don't know their race ? +Don't ask me . +Then they also shouldn't tell us if the robber is male or female , because that is sexist . +What are the pop groups that you like ? +Oh , there are so many good ones ! I loved the Spice Girls . They were so cool ! +I agree ! I cried for a week when they broke up . +I was really sad too , but at least I can still listen to their Cds . +David , imagine meeting you here ! +Janice , I found you stole my vegetables at four o'clock this morning . Is that true ? +All right ! I stayed up yesterday and waited for your vegetables . I stole your peaches and flowers . +It is so hard to prevent them from being stolen . I also got something this morning . +How many vegetables do you steal today ? +I stole many from Fred's farm , and from yours . I planned to have a dog on farm . +So funny . By stealing , I forgot all my sorrows and pressure from work . +I could not agree with you more . For us , there are so many unhappy things and I am so bored ; however , I got lots of fun from stealing . +I really want to be far away from the reality now . +But we still need to go back to it . Don't overdo it . +Mom ? +Mm ? +Can my friend , Tom Mitchum , come home with me for lunch tomorrow ? +Of course , Jim . Have I met Tom before ? +Mm — hmm . You met him last summer . He is small and very smart . +Oh , yes . I remember Tom . His family comes from Maine , right ? +Yes . +Do you know who ’ s just got married ? Old Mc Donald . +Never ! He ’ s over 80 , isn ’ t he ? +He ’ s nearly 90 . +Good gracious ! Are you sure ? +I am . Whatsmore , his wife is 84 . +Is she really ? +Yes , she is . And guess what , he is her sixth husband . +Really ? Quite a woman , isn ’ t she ? +I wanna register for this mathematics course . +I ’ m sorry registration has closed . +Closed ? The clerk told me I could come back and register any time during the first week of classes . +Well , that ’ s not possible . The computer ’ s official student account has already been sent to the state . And that ’ s what our budget is based on . Who told you that anyway ? +Some woman in here when I tried to register three weeks ago . She said I just had to pay a late fee . +She must have been a part-time worker . They didn ’ t have much training . Why didn ’ t you register then ? +She said I couldn ’ t until I had my birth certificate . Here it is . +Huh , that is no reason to demand a birth certificate . We only need to establish residency , you know , a phone bill with your name and address on it would have been fine . +Serious ? Only the proof of my address . +Yes , I am afraid she gave you the wrong information . +But it ’ s unfair . +Well , I sympathize with your problem , but , to be honest , I don ’ t think there is any thing anyone can do for you . You were trapped in the system.If you want , you can talk to the director . She will help you if she can . +Great . +Don ’ t get your hopes up . +Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend ? +Sorry , I thought you knew . +But you should have told me you were in love with her . +Didn't I ? +You know you didn't . +Well , I'm telling you now . +Yes , but you might have told me before . +I didn't think you'd be interested . +You can't be serious . How dare you not tell me you were going to marry her ? +Sorry , I didn't think it mattered . +Oh , you men ! You're all the same . +Will you give your friends a buzz and put out a feeler to see if they like to offer me a loan ? +Give them a buzz ? What can I say to them ? Say that you want a loan ? +I just want to make sure that there is possibility of giving us a loan . +And they , too , want to make sure their loan is worthwhile . +Hello , Jim . Where are you going ? +To the cinema . What about coming with me ? +No , thanks . I'm going home . My wife's expecting me . +What a pity . I believe it's a very good film . +Do you go to the cinema a lot ? +Once a week . Most nights I sit at home and watch telly +Do you know what's on tonight by any chance ? +No , I'm sorry I don't . I never read the papers till I get home . +Oh , I see . By the way , where are you going for your holidays this year ? +I don't know yet . My wife's going to her mother's for a couple of weeks . She Livesay the sea , you know . +Oh , does she ? That's convenient . +Yes , but I want to go to the country . +Don't you like the sea ? +Yes , very much . But I need peace and quiet when I'm on holiday . What are coughing to do ? +I'm going to stay at home . +Aren't you going to have a holiday abroad this year ? +No , I want to buy a car , and that's going to take every penny I've got . +Hi charles , I want you know that I finally found an apartment in Haitian . +You did ? that is great ! +Yeah , I am having a party this saturday night , a sort of house warming , and i want to invite you . are you busy ? +No I am free , I will be there , what time the thing starting ? +Around seven . +Ok , great , should I bring anything ? +No , but thanks for offering , actually could you bring some fold-up chairs for people if you have any ? I am afraid not everyone's going to have a seat , do you have any ? +sure , I will be happy to bring a few , what is the address ? +Don't worry , I will come to pick you up at about 6 thirty . +Got it . +Hey , Dora ! What kind of books do you like to read ? +I read everything I can get my hands on but I like love stories best . What do you think about the love stories ? +I hate to tell you this , but they are nothing but sob stories . +I don't think so . I like them . Then what's your favorite book ? +I'm fond of history books . +Oh , the history books are dull to me . +What ? I don't get it ... +Many of the slower dances are danced to the lyrics of tragedies . He meant that you turned it into a comedy . +Well , I'm glad I made everyone happy . +He meant it in a good way . You added a little spice to the performance . +I'm glad you guys all have such a good sense of humor . Ha-ha ... +Of course ! That's why I always say , Eat , drink and be Greek ! +Is anybody in ? +How can I help you ? +I have a headache . +Let me take your temperature with a thermometer . +OK . +I think you have a small fever . +I thought so . I felt dizzy this morning . +You should've called in sick ! Next time , have either of your parents call the school office . +Can you tell me a little about Paris ? +Sure . What do you expect to know ? +I want to see some of the famous places like Eiffel Tower , the Seine River ... +And you shouldn't miss the Louvre Museum . You can stay there for at least a whole day . +That's a good idea . I almost forget it.What else ? +The night life there . It's so romantic ! +Oh , wonderful ! How is the weather ? +I went there in August , and it was hot . But I was told autumn is the best season . +Sounds exciting . I can't wait . +This shirt you gave me is not my favorite brand . +Don't look a gift horse in the mouth ! That was the best they had . +Which film shall we see ? +There is nothing good at the moment.Let ' s do something different.Would you like to go to a concert ? +Yes , I'd love to.Here is a good one , Mozart and Beethoven.It ' s on the Festival Hall.Shall we go there ? +Fine ! Do you want anything to eat now ? +No , I'm not hungry . +Well , let's go and have something to drink instead . I know a good place . It's a little expensive , but it's fun . +Did you take my money from the table ? +Absolutely not ! I'm not a thief . +Both our countries are quite small . How would you describe the landscape in your country ? +My country is well know for being very flat . There are some hills in the southeast of the country . +Is it really completely flat ? +Pretty much . The land rises and falls only a few meters . The southeast , the hills rise to a height of a few hundred meters . There are mountains over 1000 meters high in your country . +Yes , there are . They are not very big compared with the mountains in other countries . +The coast of your country is very varied . The coast of my country is just made up of sandy beaches . +That doesn ’ t sound too bad . Great for sunbathing ! The coast of my country changes even within a few kilometers . There are cliffs , then sandy beaches . Then rocks . There are lots of caves in the cliffs . +There are many lakes and rivers in your country too . We also have many rivers , but only a few lakes . +We also have waterfalls in the mountains . They make the landscapes look very scenic . The landscape has been shapes by millions of years of erosion , especially by water . +Any idea about James ? He ’ s a pain in the neck . +Guess what ? He has just got the sack . +Oh , is that so ? +Exactly . +Is this your new teacher ? +Yes , it is . +Is she short ? +No , she ’ s average . +What color are her eyes ? +They ’ re dark gray . +What color is her hair ? +It ’ s blond . +And how old is she ? +I don ’ t know . +Do you know that Mary ’ s marriage is on the rocks ? +Really ? I ’ Ve never heard of it ! +I saw her husband have it out with her yesterday . +I think Mary must be sad , because she loves her husband very much . +I don ’ t understand why you always look so happy , so energetic . It seems like you ’ Ve got good news everyday . +Really ? Do I look happy all the time ? +All I know is you look quite differently from other teachers . +Oh , do you know why ? Actually , it ’ s easy . Because I always exercise . My exercise , I think , is very hard . I often feel very good after conquering these difficulties . I feel alive ! +Oh , I know . I saw you doing pull-ups one time on the campus and some students trying to imitate you . +Yeah , they are doing it for fun . Seldom would people like my exercise . It ’ s difficult and boring . +It ’ s true . Many students do the exercise when they have to . We have P . E . once a week . +But I think Chinese students need to exercise more . Besides exercise will help them learn new things better . Don ’ t students want to have a good memory ? +Of course . I didn ’ t know that . I only know exercise makes bodies stronger . I should take some exercise then . Do you have any suggestions ? +Well , do what you like to do . It can be anything . Jogging , doing aerobics , going bicycling , and playing ping-pong . Absolutely anything . Doing three or more workouts a week is good for you . But remember to do some stretches first . +Oh , I know . Thank you . +The woman was beaten again . Why didn ’ t she call the police . +Because it was her husband who beat her . +It is incredible . +She said that she didn ’ t want to foul her own nest . +Now let's begin the class . Who is on duty today ? +I am , sir . +Please come to the front to have five minutes ’ free talk in English . Very well ! Whose turn is it to have a free talk ? +It's me , sir . But I am sorry I have forgotten to prepare for it . +Well . Don't forget to perform your duty next time , ok ? Now , let's start our lesson . +How was your job at the state-owned enterprise ? +Oh , I no longer work there . I'm working with a multi-national corporation . +You changed jobs again ? Why do you move so frequently ? +I want to try different things before I find the one I really like . +Why don't you stick with one job for a bit longer ? +I could handle everything pretty well in the old position , so I decided to move around and learn something new . +How's your current job going ? +I'm pretty satisfied with it . I can broaden my experience , learn lots of new things , and have more development opportunities . +Do you have a boyfriend ? +Yes . Why ? +Well , I came to know a girl 3 weeks ago and we have so much in common . +So ? +So I think I may fall in love with her . +You are attracted to her . That sounds great , but how do you know that it is a crush or it's real love ? +Then what's the difference between having a crush and falling in love ? +That's a big question . Well , if you are in love , maybe you ’ ll take every opportunity to talk to her or telephone her for no reason at all . +That's what I did . +And you think about her all the time ? +Yes . +And maybe you suddenly have new interests . I mean you suddenly begin to do things you used to avoid , ie.You used to sleep in every morning , but because she jogs every morning , then you begin to like jogging . +That's it . She likes dogs so much now , and I begin to love dogs . +Oh , congratulations ! Sounds like you ’ Ve found your soul mate . +Thanks . But I know falling in love is one thing , while staying in love is another . +Yeah , that's right . If you find this person is more and more important to you and you can totally trust her , then you can stay in love . +Yeah . Falling in love is so good ! +While staying in love is even better . +If you wanna keep healthy , you must give up smoking . It's extremely bad for your health , you know . +I know it's not good for me , but the problem is I just can't help it . +Well , I've got an idea , put the label cancer sticks on each pack of cigarettes , and read it before you smoke . It may give you a feeling to reduce it . +I'll try . +What happened ? +I don't know . +Let's stop and have a look . +Don't waste time . +I'm curious about that . +But it's none of our business . +It ’ s very kind of you to invite me to dinner . +Please sit down and make yourself at home . Please don ’ t stand on ceremony . +This dish is really delicious . +I ’ m glad that you like it . This is only the first time that I made it . +You ’ re great . Could you say it in Chinese ? +Sure , we call it doubt . +Wake up , Erik , time to rise and shine . +Huh , oh , hi , Jane . I must have fallen asleep while I was reading . +You and everyone else . It looks more like a camp-ground than a library . +Well , the dorm ’ s too noisy to study in , and I guess this place is too quiet . +Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper ? +No . Prof . Grant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology . For once I wish she hadn ’ t given us so much of a choice . +Well , why not write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico . You seem to be interested in that part of the world . +I am , but there is too much material to cover . I ’ ll be writing forever , and Grant only wants five to seven pages . +So they limit it to one region of Mexico . Say the Yucatan . You ’ Ve been there and you said it ’ s got lots of interesting relics . +That ’ s not a bad idea . I brought many plenty of books and things back with me last summer . That would be great resource material . Now if I can only remember where I put them . +I really like my debate class . +Do you think you'll be interested in studying law later ? +I've entertained the idea . But I'm I leaning more toward politics . +You want to be a politician ? Yuck . +That's not like you to generalize . +Sorry , you're right . I think you'll be a good politician . +I think I can do a lot of good for our country . +You're right . We need more people like you in politics . +I dare you to talk to that girl . +Okay , I will . +Hey , what's the matter ? +It doesn't matter . I just feel a little dizzy . +Are you sure that this has nothing to do with sleep ? +I don't know . +Excuse me . My name is David Walker . Haven't we met before ? +Well , let me see ... Do you work at IBM Corporation ? +Yes , I do . +Now I remember . We met at a conference in Tokyo last year . +The last thing I want to see is to lose face before my friends . +That ’ s really unbearable . +But you know , things cannot always go as you expect . +So get prepared for everything . +Have you ever thought about having children , Kaitlyn ? +My husband and I have thought about it , but we ’ Ve decided not to have any . They are just too expensive . Besides , with all the news about global warming on the news lately , who knows what kind of world we ’ ll have in the future . What about you ? +Well , I ’ Ve always wanted to have lots of children . Growing up with only one brother , I always felt a bit lonely . What do you think about families with only one child ? +For me , growing up in a big family always made me yearn for attention . I always wanted to be an only child so that I could always do what I wanted and so that I wouldn ’ t ever have to share . +Don ’ t you think you would miss having other people around ? +No way ! I spent 20 years of my life with relatives around me 24-7 . you know , I don ’ t think I ’ Ve ever actually spent any time by myself in my parents ’ home . What do you think of the one-child policy in China ? +If China didn ’ t have such a policy , can you imagine how many people there would be in China now ? +That ’ s true . But as a woman , I ’ m glad that even though I don ’ t want any children , I at least have a choice in how many children I have . On the other hand , I can ’ t imagine what China would be like if there weren ’ t a one-child policy ! +Do you think most families with many children envy or feel sorry for other families with only one child ? +I don ’ t know what other people think , but I , for one , envy only children ! +I'm sorry I'm late . +Oh , that's all right . I just wondered what was keeping you . +The bus I took . +What do you mean ? +I took the wrong bus . +Oh , did you ? That's very easy to do . +Hi , Anna . I haven ’ t seen you for ages . Where have you been ? +I ’ Ve been away on holidays for sometime . +No wonder I haven ’ t seen you recently . Where did you spend your holidays ? +I went with my husband . Our first stop was Bangkok . We stayed there for 5 days . Then we flew to Hong Kong , stopover for 3 days . Our last stop was China . We visited the Great Wall . +You must have a wonderful time . +Yes . We enjoyed ourselves very much . Have you traveled much , Luke ? +No , my wife doesn ’ t like traveling . We haven ’ t been traveling for more than ten years . The first time we traveled together was in 1978 when we just got married . We spent our honeymoon in the Alps . +I think I need a new notebook ... +Why ? Is there some new , cool computer out on the market ? +You bet there is . Feast your eyes on this puppy ! +That's a notebook ? +Believe it ! +It looks more like a toy , or a cool briefcase ! +Is there a lot of crime in your city ? +There ’ s some , but I don ’ t think it ’ s a big problem . A lot of it is petty crime , burglary and car theft . There ’ s very little major crime . +It ’ s the same in my city . We also have a lot of drug addicts . A lot of the crime is committed by drug addicts who need money for drugs . +That happens in many places . In my city , there is a very good drug rehabilitation programme . The police and courts are also tough on people who commit crimes , but I don ’ t know if that ’ s the reason for +Some people believe that a tough approach is better . Other prefer a more lenient approach . +I think that the best way to reduce crime is to spread wealth more evenly . If most people have similar amounts of money , they will not think of stealing from others . +That ’ s possible , but I ’ m not sure it would really happen like that . +Why do you like this computer ? +It's user friendly . +What can I do for you today ? +I need to return a book . +Can I do anything else for you ? +I would also like to check out this video . +Is that all ? +Yes , just the video . +May I see your library card ? +Here you go . +You have to take care of this video . +Oh , I will . +You will be fined if you damage it . +I understand . Thank you very much . +Good game ? +Not bad . But too hot for me today . +Yes , I know . Kind of hard to concentrate , isn't it ? +Absolutely . Who were you playing with ? +Oh , just on my own . I just joined , so I don't really have any partners . +Really ? Oh , well , in that case we should play together some time . What's your handicap ? +16 . Yours ? +No kidding ! I'm 16 , too . We should definitely play together some time . My name's Bob . +Jane . Nice to meet you . +Me too . So , do you like the course ? +Yes , it's fine . However , I personally think the fairways between the greens are a bit too long , especially for such a hot climate . Don't they have carts ? +Well , they used to , but they got rid of them because of environmental concerns . +Oh , that's good . I guess the caddies were pleased . +Actually , in my opinion , the carts were better because you don't have to tip them . +Yes , but look at it this way , getting rid of the carts probably gives more work to local people , which is a good thing , right ? +Possibly , but I still miss them ! What bothers me is that the heat makes the caddies ' life quite hard . One member's caddy fainted last week ! +How awful , poor guy . +Right . Luckily it was on the eighteen hole , quite near the clubhouse , so he didn't have far to carry him . +Oh , my God , you're kidding me ! He carried him back ? +Yup . +Can I get you something to drink ? +No , that's okay , I already have a coke.Why don't you have a seat , you look like you've been on your feet all day . +I guess I could take a break.So , how do you like Denver ? +It's great ! The mountains here are beautiful and the skiing is spectacular.Have you been here for a long time ? +About six years ... +What do you do for a living ? +I manage one of the ski lodges.It ' s a great job , I can spend a lot of my time outdoors , and I also get to ski for free all season . +Wow , talk about job perks ! That's great . I would like to do something exciting like that.But I am only an accountant.Not too much excitement there.huh ? +That's okay.If it weren't for you accountants , nobody would have the money to go skiing ! +What are you doing ? +I ’ m just looking at this map of the world . I ’ m preparing for a geography class . +There are no countries marked on the map . +No , there aren ’ t . this map just show the geographical features . Look at the Himalayan plateau with the highest peaks in the world . +The thing that I find most surprising is that most of the world is covered with water . Compared to the oceans , most countries are tiny . +I find it incredible how millions of years of volcanic activity have created mountains thousands of metres tall . +Rivers have created deep valleys and canyons like the grand can you . +The oceans and landscapes all influence our climate . +It ’ s all so interesting . I ’ ll have to find more information about it on the internet . Or perhaps I should try and attend your geography class . +I'm sorry , I'm having a little trouble understanding your accent . +I'll try to speak more clearly . +What's your favourite steps ? +It's hard to say . But I do love waltz very much . +How about rumba ? +To tell the truth , I don't like it . +Really ? You must like tango , right ? +Oh , it's really beautiful , but I just can't dance it well . +Don't be so modest . I'm sure you can dance it very well . Let's dance it now . +OK . I'll have a try . +Oh , you dance it so well . +Thank you for your compliment . +I think I'm your lucky fellow . +I heard many stories about your brother . +He's a hero in our town . +What does he look like ? Is he handsome ? +Yes , indeed , People say he's the smartest young man . +Do you know that Jack got divorced last month . +For what reason . +Jack always lives by his wits and he cannot support his family . +He had better make a change . +Why do you look so sad ? +I ’ m in pretty bad shape . I am having an allergy all the time . +Why not go and see a doctor ? +I never trust those stupid doctors . +I'll always remember my college days . +oh yeah ? +It was one of the best times in my life . It was tough , but I made it . I became a college graduate . +how did you feel when you graduated ? +it was a round day for me . My family attend the graduation ceremony . I was so nervous . I couldn't find my cap and gown , but all worked out in the end . +what did you do after graduation ? +I was planning to attend gradate school , but then I was offered a good job doing marketing , so I changed my mind . +sounds like you're happy with your decision . +I sure am . So what about you ? How did you feel when you graduated ? +it was also a proud day for me , but I also felt like a kind of loss that day . +how could it be ? +while seeing others going to work or continue their study , I didn't know what I would do . +you didn't have an offer ? +I had one , but I didn't like the job very much . I wanted to attend graduate school , but I was afraid it would be too tough . +I think you lack in the power of decision . Once you make your decision , don't be overtaken by misgivings and fear . Just go full steam ahead ! +Ashley , what a great dinner party ! +Thank you , Joe . What would you like to drink with your meal ? I can offer you wine , mango juice , or water . +Just water would be fine . +Excellent choice . Can I dish you up some chicken ? +Yes , the chicken looks wonderful ! +How about some salad to go with your chicken ? +Sure , I love salad ! +Would you like to have rice with your chicken ? +Yes , I think that rice will go perfectly with my chicken ! +Good ! Julie , if you could pass this plate down to Joe , I think we are all set . +How many days do you take off for Easter ? +Usually we have a month off . +What will you do for this Easter ? +I'll stay at home and have a complete rest . +Mary didn't pass the final exam in physics . +She must be very sad . +Her parents scolded her severely and she's very depressed now . +At a time like this , what she needs is a pat on the back rather than a blame . +John dates her seven times a week . +Really ? That's a straws in the wind . +I think so . Maybe he's fallen for her . +Yeah . They suit each other . A perfect match between a man and a girl . +My uncle gave me this bicycle as a birthday present . Look ! +So cool ! Can I get a load of it ? +I love your bracelet . When did you get it ? +I got it a while ago , but I haven't worn it much . You really like it ? +Yeah . It's beautiful . Is it white gold or silver ? +It's white gold . +Where did you buy it ? +My boyfriend took me to the Shane Co . and he let me pick it out . +That's so sweet . What was the occasion ? +That's the best part . It wasn't for anything special . He just wanted to buy me something . +You're so lucky . If he bought you something for no special day , I wonder what he would buy you for your birthday . +My birthday is coming up . We'll find out pretty soon . +What do you want ? +I wouldn't mind a necklace . I was at the jewelry shop looking around , and they have a couple of beautiful necklaces I want . +Why not a ring ? +I don't think I'm ready for a ring from him yet . +But you're ready for everything else ? +Akha . +Do you like traveling , Kathy ? +I like traveling for pleasure to get places for vacation for instance . But I don ’ t like traveling to work , waiting for buses , or ... +Or getting stuck in traffic jams when you ’ re driving . +Exactly . +Hello , Jane ! +Hi , Tom . How have you been ? +Pretty good . Actually , I'm quite busy with work . By the way , say ' hello ' to your husband . +What are you doing ? +What am I doing ? What am I doing ? Don ’ t you know what day it is ? +Mumm . no . +It ’ s only the day when the world ’ s biggest sporting event is kicking off . +What ? +The World Cup ! The first match is today ! It ’ s Mexico vs . South Africa ! It ’ s going to be a really good match ! Both teams have a very strong offense and have skilled players . I think that South Africa +I have no idea what you ’ re talking about . The only sporting event we watch at home is the Super Bowl . +This is bigger than the Super Bowl , man ! Teams from 32 countries compete against each other every four years and fight to win that trophy . They first start in a group stage with bigger groups , each g +Sounds interesting , but soccer doesn ’ t really appeal to me . +Are you kidding ? Over seven hundred million people watched the final match of the World Cup ! It ’ s a very exciting and nerve wracking sport ! Each nation is cheering on their team , hoping they will bec +All I know about soccer is that you can ’ t use your hands and that players are always falling down , trying to get a free kick or penalty kick . It seems like a sissy sport to me ! +Whatever , I ’ m going to go watch the opening match . +Do you often do exercise ? +Certainly . +OK , and what kind of sports do you usually play ? +I often play badminton with my parents . +You ? Play badminton ? That's unbelievable ! You are shorter than a racket . +Hey , I'm good at playing it . +Says who ? +My parents . +Oh , I see . +How about you , Daniel ? +I'm a real man , and I like football . +Well , who is your favorite football player ? +I like Renaldo the most . +Professor , can you help me add your class ? +You have to bring me an add sheet to sign . Do you have one ? +No , I will have to get an add sheet . +You must take the signed add slip to the Admissions and Records Office to add the class . Do you know where that is ? +No , I don't know where that is . +The office is in front of you as you cross the quad . The signs in the hallway will tell you where you need to be . +I think I can find it . +You'll find it easily . Make sure you add the class and then we will look at the roll sheet later to make sure that you were added on . +Thank you for letting me add your class . +To drop a class , you need to do the same thing with a drop slip . Good luck ! +Hi , Alice , what are you doing this sunday . +Nothing really , why , what ' s up ? +If you are free , maybe you can get having for my birthday party , it should be fun . +Sounds great , i ' d very much like having something thanks , when ? +Around six pm . +Do you need help setting up or anything ? I don't mind . I like to do that kind of thing . It's fun and I have a good eye for decorating . +No . thank you . I can handle it , but thanks for the offer . +Ok , I will see you again . +Great . I have a good day , thanks again for the offer . +Did you understand question number three ? +Not at all , I was totally in the dark . +Excuse me , I wonder if you could help me ? +Of course , what can I do for you ? +Well , I hate to have to say this , but I'm not happy with my room . +Oh , what exactly is problem ? +Well , the traffic is very loud . I got no sleep last night . +Oh , I'm so sorry , Sir . I'll see what I can do about that . +What's the weather like in your city ? +In the summer it gets very hot . The temperature is between often 37 and 40 centigrade . When it is hot we often get rains . The winters are drier . +The summer temperature usually often reaches about 20 or25 in my city . The rain falls mostly in the winter . And we often get snow . +What are the temperatures in winter ? In my city it is about 15 or 20 degrees . +In winter temperature often falls to zero at night temperature can be below that . The streets are often icing in the morning . With high such temperatures you must get some thunderstorms . +Yeah , we do . In the middle of summer there can be found storms every day usually in the afternoon . I heard your city has a lot of fog , is that true ? +We do have a few fog days in winter . But I would not say we have a lot of fogs . The sky are usually clearly in your city , are they ? +Yes , they are like I said we have thunderstorms . But each one usually last a few hours . Then the skys are clear again . +Have you ever had snow in your city ? +My grandmother said there was snow once when she was a child . But my parents and I never see it outside of my city . +The river in my city sometime freeze over . People go ice-skating on it . In summer people go boating on the river . But few people go swimming because it is not very clean . +As you know , my city is on the coast.the water is also not clean . But people still go swimming all year around . I prefer to sand bath on the beach when the weather is hot and sunning . +Look ! It's clearing up . +I can see the sun now . +I like summer as long as it's bright like this . +Anyway , I dislike summer here.There ' s too much rainfall . +Hello ! Let me introduce myself . My name is Nancy . +Nice to meet you , I'am Seven . I don't think I ' Ve seen you around before . +No , I just started working here at IBM , I am assigned sale department . +What do you do there ? +I main market reasearch , and you ? +I ' Ve beaning worked IBM for years . I am vested personnel file system , He is the after sale survise director . he such a nice boss , I like working for him . +Really ? I don't believe I would met him , is he here now ? +Yes , That's him over there-the taller , handsome one . Would you let me introduce you ? +Thanks , that's would be lovely . You'r right , he is kind and nice looking . +How do you think should I handle this problem ? +You'd just let sleeping dogs lie . +But I'm already in a lot of trouble with my boss . +Anything you say or do might make it worse . Just try to ride out the storm for a while . +She's always bothering me . What should I do ? +You'd better leave her alone . +But she always harps on me . +Just tell her off . +Yes , great ! +Well , no one could survive without water , but you see pollution has been making more and more water unable for drinking . +Yeah . Water pollution has for a long time been a major concern among the environmental issues . +But what are the sources of water pollution ? +They could generally be divided into two categories +Well , direct ones are the pollution directly from factories , refineries waste treatment plants etc . , aren ’ t they ? +Yeah . They are emitted directly into urban water supplies . +But what about the indirect ones ? +Indirect sources include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils or groundwater systems and from the atmosphere via rainwater . +I see . For the sake of us all , we should be an active participator in the prevention of it . +Sure . It's an issue asking for everyone's participation . +Hi , Bill . I saw you yesterday with a pretty girl . +Yes , she is my favorite girl . I've decided to go steady with her . +Are you sure she is the right girl ? +Sure . She is the ideal girl , the one I had dreamed of . +What type of girl is she ? +She is the mature , stable , feminine type . I hope one day I can marry her . +Oh , that's great . You're serious this time . +You're right--Italian ! Ha ! Ha ! I was trying to trick you , but you didn't fall for it ! +I almost did ! Actually , I don't know that much about coffee , even though I sell it . +I could give you a few pointers if you want . I know a lot about coffee . +Thanks . Maybe if things slow down later I'll stop by your table . +I'm Robert , at your service . +Rita . Nice to meet you . +Do you use an anti-virus program to protect your computer ? +Yes , I do . I also use an anti-spyware program and a firewall . There are so many nasties on the internet and so many people who are trying to use the internet to hurt other users . You have to be very careful and keep you computer clean . +How often do you run your anti-virus program ? +I usually run it every few days . It finds a virus about half the time . +Which anti-virus program would you recommend ? +How you tried this one ? It ’ s very good and you can download it for free on the internet . You can also download updates for free . +That sounds very good . Which website should I visit to download it ? +Just a minute ... go to this one . I ’ ll send you an email with the line in it . It only takes a few minutes to download . Then you have to go through the set up procedures . But they are not complicated . +What do you use your computer for ? +I use it for several things-surfing the net , word processing and creating presentations . I don ’ t play many games on my computer , but I do a lot of work with photographs . Using c computer program , you can edit and resize photographs . You can also make them brighter or darker and cut pieces from different photographs to create new ones . +Computers are great , aren ’ t they ? I should download some program and learn how to use them . +I like pop music very much . +What ? +I said I like pop music very much.It ' s so lovely . +Is it ? +John , you look pale . What happened ? +I stayed up last night . +Did you have something on your mind ? You look so concerned ! Maybe I can help you ! +Will , I'm under a lot of pressure . My manager is very pushy . He assigned me two projects . Now the deadlines are near but I have finished neither of them . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Well , I guess no one can help me but myself . For the moment , I just need someone to talk to so that I can relieve my stress . +I know your feeling . Take it easy and say something to me if you like . +Oh , buddy , you are so kind . Thank you ! +Not at all ! +You don't look very well . +I'm not feeling too well . I've caught a cold . +Is it because of the bad weather ? It's been really miserable for the past tew days . +Hasn't it ! It's been cold and windy recently.Do you like the weather here ? +Not really , but I've got used to it now . +Oh , I'm going for a trip to New York this autumn . What's the weather like in New York ? +Not quite good . It's windy and dry . We have got continental climate there . It's dry all the year round . Usually autumn is the best season of the year In New York . +Is it cold in autumn there ? Should I take any warm clothes with me ? +No , it isn't very cold at that time . You'll only need some light wool clothing with somejackets and shirts . +You seem to have all the jitters about Jane . +Yeah . I am on edge since she was out to the match . +Keep your fingers crossed . She'll bring home the bacon . +I do have the confidence , but I still worry about her . +Thanks for your help . +No problem , anytime . +Let me know if I can do anything for you . +Okay , thank you . +They are a nice middle-aged couple , just like us . +If they are just like us , they are not middle-aged . +Of course they are . +Middle-aged means in the middle , Ethel , middle of life . People don't live to a hundred and fifty . +Oh , we are the part on the edge of middle . That's all . +Oh , you know , we are not middle-aged . You're old , and I'm aging . +Oh , fool ! You're nearly seventy and I'm in the low sixties . Would you like to spend the rest of the afternoon squabbling about this ? +I can if you like . +How should we commemorate the centenary of the founding of the university ? We have been given quite a large budget to pay for some events . +We should certainly hold a big party for the professors and students . We could have a firework display . +Do you think that we should invite alumni and former professors ? +If we do , too many people might attend . Perhaps we should invited all of them , but make a small charge to attend . +Good idea . We should also hold a series of presentations . We could have presentations on the history of the university , the courses we offer , and our links with other universities . +Good idea ! I think we could also have presentations by former students on how their experience here helped them in their lives . +We could have another on the successes of graduates from here . +I think that we could also produce some merchandise for the centenary-you know , T-shirts , mugs , plates , pens , and things like that . +That ’ s an excellent idea . Hopefully , we would be able to make a profit ! A few professors and students are writing a book on the history of the university . +I ’ m looking forward to reading that . We could have book signings by famous professors an alumni . +A group of students from the art and music faculty are producing a short film . +I ’ m sure that will be very popular .. OK , let ’ s think about how we can put these ideas into practice . +Your knowledge of English is really surprising . +Oh , it's nothing to speak of . +No , seriously . I'm impressed . +Thank you . I appreciate the compliment . +What's your name ? +My name is Sam . +How are you , Sam ? +I'm fine . Thank you . +Where are you from , Sam ? +I'm from England . +What is your job ? +I'm a bank manager . +Excuse me , are you Miss Green ? +Yes . May I help you ? +May I introduce myself ? +Yes . +I ’ m a new student in the school . My name ’ s John . +Nice to meet you , John . +It ’ s a pleasure to meet you , Miss Green . +Have you considered upgrading your system ? +Yes , but I'm not sure what exactly I would need . +You could consider adding a painting program to your software . It would allow you to make up your own flyers and banners for advertising . +That would be a definite bonus . +You might also want to upgrade your hardware because it is pretty outdated now . +How can we do that ? +You'd probably need a faster processor , to begin with . And you also need a more powerful hard disc , more memory and a faster modem . Do you have a CD-ROM drive ? +No . +Then you might want to add a CD-ROM drive too , because most new software programs are coming out on Cds . +That sounds great . Thanks . +Hoo , I'm getting tired , Jeanine , been a long day . +I'm not quitting yet . You know my favourite slogan , don't you ? +Yeah , I know . Shop till you drop . +Right ! +I'm getting a little short on cash . Let's just window shop a little . +Ok . +Hey , Jeanine , get a load of that . It's beautiful . +Ahahah , and I thought you were tired . +You know .. I have a weakness for long dresses . +It sure looks special , looks expensive too . +Sure does . Hey , can I sponge a little cash of you ? +Don't worry , Mary , I've got you covered . +Thanks , Jeanine , you are a real pal . Let's go in . +Now darling , I know that we've bought this house together , but it's just going to be far too expensive to decorate it . I think we should sell it . +Oh , no , Nathan , I ... I really think we've bought this flat at the right time , you know . Market prices are going to go up , and I think you'll find in a year or two it will be worth a lot more . +But we're going to spend so much money in furnishing and decorating . I think we could get a much cheaper place that's already furnished . +But don't you like this place ? I remember when we came to see it we thought it would be lovely . +Well , only you liked it really , darling . +Oh , why didn't you say so then ? But I still think we've made a good buy . +I am not sure what to do during the holidays , any suggestions ? +Well , going to a cinema , visiting the galleries , exhibitions and museums , finding and meeting old friends , exercising in the health club or mountain biking . There are so many good choices . +The problem is that I find all of them are full of fun . I just don ’ t know what to do first . +Why not start with the most interesting one ? +Actually , I ’ m interested in all of them . The more choices we have , the harder to make a decision . +Toss a coin to decide then . +There is too much traffic in Taipei these days , I think cars should be banned . +I'm not sure about that . How would people get to work ? +Well , why not use buses or the MET ? +Well , it may not be that simple . Not everyone likes public transport . +Why not ? There is nothing wrong with our buses and trains . +Well , I don't often use them , I wouldn't really know . +I want to try my hand at the stocks . +It is very hard , you know . +Don ’ t worry . I know there are no pennies from heaven . I will work hard . +Good luck ! +What do you think of the new mayor ? +No comment . +Hello , is this People's Theater ? +Yes , it is . May I help you ? +Yes , are advance tickets for ' Nut croakers ' still available ? +What date , sir ? +October 16th . +Let me see . Yes , we still have some tickets left . Which performance ? +7:30 p . m . performance , please . +OK , we have tickets at 100 yuan and 50 yuan . +I'd like to reserve two seats at 100 yuan , please . +All right . May I have you name , please ? +Du Kun . +When would you like to collect the tickets ? +Tomorrow . +We can hold them until one day before the show . +How do we cancel , just in case ? +Just telephone us , and let us know in advance . We don't charge for cancellation . +All right , thank you very much . Good bye . +You are welcome . Goodbye . +Excuse me . In this museum , you are not supposed to take pictures . +Is that right ? I didn't know it . +Will you give me your camera ? We have to confiscate your film . +Will you forgive me . Could you return my camera ? +We will keep and return it later . +Oh , I see . Then , can I buy slides and picture postcards somewhere ? +You can buy them at the souvenir shop near the exit . +Mary , I've some bad news for you . +I have already known that . I didn't get the scholarship , right ? +Yes . The board was favorably impressed with your application , but the competition was very fierce . +Can you help me ? You know I do need the scholarship . +I'm afraid I can't I advise you to try again next year . +Thank you . I will . +How can I lose weight , doctor ? I seem to get fatter even when I just look at food ? +Well , Jim . It is a combination of how much you eat , the type of food you eat , and when you eat your meals . +I never eat breakfast though . +That's a big mistake , you should always have a good breakfast . You will not run your car without fuel , and as well you won't expect your body to work without food . +I never thought about it that way . +I bet you eat a large evening meal , then sit and watch TV or read a book . Then instead of burning off your energy , your body stores it as fat . +Oh doctor , I feel so foolish . +Well control is really using common sense when you plan your eating habits . +I know doctor , thank you so much . +I am confused . How could a golfer need so many clubs ? Seems to me , 14 altogether , right +I should say , a a ' set ' of golf clubs is restricted to no more than 14 clubs . +Then what makes a ' set ' of clubs ? +In general , a set of golf clubs 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , PW ; Woods : 1 , 3 , 5 and a putter . +So many ? +This is not to say you have to carry all of these clubs . It depends on your preferences . +Have you heard of Tiger Woods ? +Of course even people who don't know anything about golf know his name . +Do you remember John from head office ? +Yes . +Have you heard what happened to him ? +No , what ? +He had his car stolen . Actually he was kidnapped while he was in the car . +What do you mean ? +Well , apparently , he was just getting into his car-he'd parked it in one of those underground multi-story things-he was just getting in and suddenly three guys with guns opened the back doors of the car and got in . +Crikey . Where did this happen ? +In Taichung , I think . +Oh , right , I hear they have a lot of this kind of problem down there . +Really ? Well , anyway , they pointed their guns at him and said , you know , keep calm and drive out . ... we don't want to hurt you ... we just want your car . +So what happened ? +Well , he drove out , and when he got to the booth to pay the attendant , he pretended to have an epileptic fit , you know , to scare the thieves away . The attendant was no help at all , even though the guys were holding guns in plain view , he did nothing . +That's terrible . +Yes , makes you think , doesn't it ? +So what happened next ? +Well , he kept on pretending to have a fit , so they freaked out and just ran away . +Well , he sure was lucky . +I'll say . +Are you a newcomer ? +Yeah , this is my first visit here . +You speak good English , though . +Thanks , but I speak English with a strong German accent . +But let me tell you , you're doing just fine . I couldn't do half as well as you do when I was learning German . By the way , how long have you been learning English ? +On and off , for quite a few years . +Do you still see the people we went to school with ? +I did for a while , I suppose , until I left university , but after that not really . +Yeah , I've lost touch with most people as well , but I still see Rose occasionally . +Oh yes , how's she getting on ? +OK , I suppose , but she's had a rough time in the last few years , She got divorced . +What , from Peter ? +Oh , of course . +I hear that Helen does not relate very well to her husband . +Unbelievable ! I remember her husband is her former classmate . They fell in love with each other in college . +So what ? Things have changed . +At last ! The weekend comes again ! +Yes . What will you do these two days ? +After five days ' hard work , I'm surely going to have some fun . +But I'd prefer to stay at home and have a good rest . +Bill , I must tell you the truth . You failed the English exam again . +Ah ? Really ? That stinks ! +Haha . April Fool's ! Did you forget what day it is today ? +Wow , you were pulling my leg all along . I was really fooled . +Alright , now let's be serious . Actually , you get high marks in the exam . +Did you have a good holiday ? +Yes and no . +How are you doing ? +I'm doing great . +What movies have you seen lately ? +I saw Forrest Gump the other day . +What type of movie is that ? +The movie type is drama . +I can't believe you are watching movies . The weather is great . You should be outside . +I hate the hot weather . I'd rather stay indoors with the air conditioner . +What else do you like to do besides watching movies ? +I like to play computer games , read books , go shopping , and play pool . +Out of those what is your favorite ? +My favorite is to play computer games . +What is your favorite computer game ? +My favorite is Diablo . It used to be Star Craft , but it is getting a little old . +If you like to play so much , when do you ever exercise ? +Although I hate to exercise , I go jogging at least twice a week . +That's pretty good . By the way , what are you doing next Saturday ? +I am going to go to the bookstore . +I am having a party Saturday night at my house . If you have time , you should come . +That sounds like fun . +Great . I'll see you on Saturday . +Ok . See you later . +Thanks a lot for having us . We had a good time . +I'm glad you came . You're welcome anytime . +Thanks . By the way , tell your wife she throws a great party . +I will . See you later . +Mike , these flowers are just gorgeous . +I ’ m glad you like them . Happy birthday ! +I can ’ t thank you enough . I ’ m really touched . I don ’ t know what to say . +Forget it . It ’ s my pleasure . You mean a lot to me . +You ’ re the best ! +Shall we sing with a karaoke ? +Great idea ! I do it every so often . +For us , karaoke is becoming a popular entertainment . +Yep . If you are a good singer , your audience will feel comfortable , right ? +I can not agree with you more . And if you are an awful one , that will be funny . +I remembered Tom is always out of tune . We burst into laughter . +Is that true ? Shall we invite him to join with us ? +So tricky ! +I'm afraid I can't complete my paper on time . +What happened ? +I keep on meeting with difficulties in the experiment . I can hardly go on . +Where there are difficulties , there are ways to get over them . Hold on ! +Have you heard Jenny divorced her French husband ? +Oh , really ? No wonder that she looks quite depressed recently . +Yes . They used to be joined at the hip . +I heard they were just married for half a year . +That ’ s true . She said they often argued over nickel-and-dime things . +Yeah . Mixed marriage is tempting but full of culture shock . +You said it . You know , they fell in love at the first sight and quickly jumped into marriage . +Maybe they were just attracted to each other but too different to be married . +Definitely . Just hope Jenny can recover from the pain of divorce soon . +Where do you usually do your shopping , Mrs . Lane ? +I usually go to the supermarket , near the station . +How do you find the prices there ? +I think they are quite reasonable , and the vegetables are very fresh . +I see you have bought some coffee . Would you mind telling me how much you paid for it ? +Only 2 dollars and 25 cents . +Hello , what can I do for you ? +I am looking for a host home . +How long will you stay with the host family ? +Well , at least half a year . Do I have to do my own grocery shopping ? +Usually the host family prepares at least two meals a day for you . +That is fine . +I cannot understand why she always helps and supports her brother . +Why do you say so ? +Because he is often in trouble . +She has promised her mother that she would be with him through thick and thin . +Oh , I see . +Did you find what you were looking for ? +I tried when you had gone , but I had no luck . +Okay , let's both look for it now . +Okay . +I think I'm going to China this vacation.How about you ? +Me ? I prefer France . +I went to France last summer . +Oh , really ? I went to China last winter ! +Jenny , I was wondering if you , um ... are you busy this Friday ? +Yes , Friday I have a class right after work . +Oh . What about Saturday ? Are you free then ? +Saturday my parents are coming to town . What's up ? +What about tonight ? Do you have plans tonight ? +No . Did you want to go do something ? +Yes ! Yes ! I want to take you to dinner . +Oh ! That sounds great ! How about six o'clock ? +There's a typhoon coming . +Is that right ? +That's what the weatherman said last night . +Do you want to go out for dinner tonight ? +Sure . Have you got anywhere in mind ? +I'm starving , so maybe we could go somewhere with large portions . +That Italian restaurant in the city centre always has large portions . Do you want to go there ? +I'm not really in the mood for Italian , actually . I was thinking of something a bit spicy . +If you want spicy food , then I'd recommend going to a Thai , Indian or Chinese restaurant . How about that Chinese buffet on Cowley Road ? +I really like that restaurant ; you get a lot for your money there . But , they've westernized their food , so it's not actually that spicy . +You're right . Most of their dishes have sweet sauces . We could try that Indian restaurant just down the road from us . +The Taj ? They're a bit expensive , but they do serve large portions of very hot food . +The Taj it is then . +Shall we bring our own bottle of wine to save some money ? +They'll still charge us a corkage fee . +That's right . It'll probably work out to be about the same then anyway . +Don't worry about money . I'll treat you tonight . +Are you sure ? We could go Dutch . +No , I'll pay . It's my turn anyway . You paid last time . +I won't argue with that ! Let's go ! +Hello Martin . Have you been to any events yet ? +Yes I have . I went to the table tennis yesterday . +Oh wow . How was it ? +Oh . It was great . I love Ma Lin . He ’ s my favourite table tennis player . Have you seen anything yet ? +Oh I still haven ’ t managed to get any tickets . I ’ d love to see something though . +Well , let ’ s go to the marathon tomorrow then ! We can just stand by the side of the road . +What a great idea . +Hi ! Dear ! I'm waiting for you . +I know that . +You know , although we've chatted twice , I've been thinking of you already . +Me too . I want to know more about you , eg , what's your real name and what do you look like ... +& you ? +Look , I am playing the piano for you . +Oh , thanks . I wanna see the real you . +Sorry , I have no photo in my computer . And I have no scanner . I will show you later . +OK ! Before that I'll take this one as you . +Ha ! She is too little . +Cute , like you . +I want to tell you that I like you +Me too . Send you a kiss ... +Thx . +Hello . +Hi . +How are you ? +I'm good . How are you ? +Good . Do you speak English ? +A little . Are you American ? +Yes . +Where are you from ? +I'm from California . +Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you too . +Did you hear what she said to me ? +I heard it . +What do you think I should do about it ? +Just let it be . Her rudeness will come back to haunt her . +How many persons are there in your family ? +There are three , my parents and I . +Do you live together ? +No , I live alone in a flat near my work place . +Do you often go back to see your parents . +Yes , almost once a week . +Ben always appears rude to the people around him . +But he's really kind at heart . +That's true . We can not judge people by appearance . +I'm glad to have had the opportunity to meet you here . +I trust you ’ re keeping well ? +I'm doing great , thank you . +So we can get down to business . +What do you think of the Olympic motto ' Higher , faster and stronger ' ? +Well , it's better than ' Friendship first , competition second ' . +Why ? In my opinion , it doesn't matter whether you won or not . The most important thing is participation . +I still think nobody plays for nothing . +So Chris , I've heard that you're from a big family . How many people ? +Nine total . Seven children and my parents . +Seven children ? That's a lot . Why did your parents have so many ? +Well , my mother came from a big family , and wanted to have one of her own . My father was an only child , and didn't really care about having a large family , but my mother talked him into it . +Jeez , seven children . That must have a lot of problems . We have four children in my family and my grandparents can never get our names right . +It can be hard , and there are certain sacrifices you have to make . +Like what ? I assume that there's no privacy . +That's one . Another is the lack of personal property . Everything you have , from toys to clothes , is used by your brothers and sisters . Especially clothes . Three quarters of my wardrobe are hand-me-downs . +And the age gap is also annoying . There's a ten-year difference between my younger brother and me . We have nothing in common . +Same problem here . There's an 18 - year gap between the oldest and youngest child in my family . The last child was born just as the oldest was going to college . +John , if you don't mind , I'd like to ask you a personal question . +I don't mind at all . +All right.Are you married ? +To tell you the truth , I'm not married . I'm still single . +Then , when do you plan to get married ? +I don't know.It ' s still up in tha air . +Miss Fallen , can you tell me why you want to get a visa to the States ? +To study . I am going to the University of Tampa to do a postgraduate course for three years . +And do you have the Letter of Acceptance from the University with you ? +Yes , here it is . +Thank you very much . And do you have any proof of the financial support for the three years ? +I've got a letter from my bank here . It shows I am able to support myself during these three years of studies . +Could I see that , please ? +Yes , here it is . +Thanks very much . Well , I'll be able to give you a visa for one year , a student visa , that is . +Oh , but mine is a three-year program . +Yes , it is a three-year , but you can renew the visa each year in the States . It is our usual procedure . +Okay , thank you . +It's a lovely day out today , isn't it ? +It's beautiful . Enjoy it while it lasts . It's supposed to get cold tomorrow . +What's the weather forecast for tomorrow ? +It's supposed to snow early tomorrow morning and then tomorrow afternoon there's a chance of freezing rain . +That doesn't sound pretty . +Do you have any plans for tomorrow ? +Well , I was going to drive to Birmingham to see some friends . +You might want to change your plans . With the cold and wet weather that we're supposed to have tomorrow , the roads are going to be rather slippery . +I suppose I should . I don't like driving in dangerous weather conditions . Do you have any plans for tomorrow ? +I just have to go to class tomorrow afternoon . +If you're lucky , it'll get cancelled and you can have a snow day ! +If that happens , then I'll invite you over and we can drink hot cocoa and watch movies . +That sounds like fun . +Hey , look outside ! It's started to drizzle ! +English weather is even more predictable than I had previously thought . +Is there a city where it's always warm ? +Yes , there are many cities where it's almost always warm.San Diego , for example . +Are there any other cities where it's always hot ? +Many.Most of the cities in the southern part of the United States are hot all year . +But why do so many people live there ? +Most people grow accustomed to the climate , but there are many others who complain about it all the time . +Are there any cities where it rains a lot ? +Several.Two good examples are Seattle , in the state of Washington , and Portland , Oregon . +Tell us about some cold cities . +In the north there are many cities which are very cold in the winter.Boston and Chicago are two of them . +Is it always cold in Chicago and Boston ? +Oh , no.On the contrary , there are many beautiful days , especially in the spring and fall . +Mark , you are not telling me the truth . Now why ? +Promise you are not going to be angry ? +Yes , all right . So why ? Go on then . Say it . Oh , really , Mark . I promise I'm not going to be angry . Now why were you late ? +I forgot . +You forgot ? You ... +Ah , ah , you promised , and remember ? +Long time no see ! +Yes . It has been a long time since the last time we met . +It's nice to see you again . Have you changed jobs ? +No . I've been visiting relatives recently . +That's nice . Where have you been ? +I went to visit an uncle in San Francisco . +Are you busy now ? +No . Why ? +How about a coffee in that cafe ? +Great . Let's talk over coffee . +I'm really fed up with Larry ! He's the biggest airhead I've ever met.He always makes careless mistakes , and he's a pain to work with . +You shouldn't be so negative.You ' ll always have some co-workers that are harder to work with than others.But if you are negative and start name-calling in the office , it will make a bad working environment for everybody . +You only say that because you don't have to work with him.The people in your department seem so capable and nice to be around.Take Mary for example.She ' s smart and enthusiastic . I've never met anyone as cheery as she is . +Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses.Even Larry.He might be a pain to be around , but he's also very good at staying in budget on projects.Mary , on the other hand , spends our project money like there's no tomorrow.Also , she's never willing to stay a little later at the office.She always leaves at 5pm sharp . +Isn't there anyone in the office that is a perfect co-worker ? What about Bob ? Everybody loves Bob.Even though he's flesh out of college and still a bit green , he is a great co-worker . +You're right.He ' s a hard worker , easy to get along with , honest , and he never steals the credit on projects.The only thing he's lacking in is experience . +Maybe that's why he's so nice ! +You look pale recently . +Yeah . I have got much pressure in the company . I have to be wrapped up in my work . +Take good care of yourself . +Thank you . I will . +Watch your step . There's a hole in the sidewalk . +Oh , I see.Thank you . +I hear little Bob has recovered . +That's a great relief . I was worried about him . +The operation was very successful . +His parents must feel very happy . +I can ’ t believe that Anthony is finally getting married ! +Yeah well it ’ s about time ! He ’ s been living with his parents for 40 years ! +Don ’ t be mean . Look here come the bridesmaids ! Their dresses look beautiful ! +Who are those kids walking down the aisle ? +That ’ s the flower girl and the ring bearer . I ’ m pretty sure they ’ re the groom ’ s niece and nephew.Oh , they look so cute ! +I just hope the priest makes it quick . I ’ m starving . I hope the food ’ s good at the reception . +That ’ s all you ever think about , food ! Oh , I think the bride ’ s coming now ! She looks gorgeous.Wait , what ’ s she doing ? Where ’ s she going ? +Oh great ! Does this mean that the reception is canceled ? +Hello everyone , and welcome to our CPR for beginners course.First of all , does anyone know what CPR stands for ? +Cardiopulmonary resuscitation ! +That ’ s right ! We apply CPR in the case of cardiac arrest or pulmonary arrest . +What does that mean ? +Well , basically if your heart stops pumping blood , or your lungs stop pumping air , then we need to get them going again ! That ’ s when we have to apply this procedure . Let ’ s begin ! I need a volunteer . +Me ! Me ! +Alright , come here and lay flat on your back . Let ’ s suppose this young woman has stopped breathing . We must lift the person ’ s chin so that we clear a pathway for air to get into the lungs . Then we place our mouth over the other person ’ s mouth and blow air two or three times , like this . +Wait , what are you doing ? I ’ m a married woman ! You can ’ t just try to kiss me like this ! +Madam I ’ m not trying to kiss you ! I am trying to demonstrate how to apply CPR in the case of an emergency . +Well , OK . But no French kissing ! +As I was saying , we blow air through the mouth in this manner . Once this is done , we must try to get the heart going again . To do this , we place our hands over the person ’ s chest , and press down firmly two or three times . +Wait , what are you doing ! You can ’ t just kiss me then go for second base ! +You ’ re not going to believe what happened today . You ’ Ve got to promise to keep it to yourself . +Sure , what gives ? +Today Mr . Leo threw Sally out of class ! +On the level ? +I ’ ll say . I knew Sally would finally show her true colors . When she got her final test results back from Mr . Leo , she started yelling at him . You should have heard her . I ’ Ve never seen anyone get so upset before . To make a long story short , it seems that Mr . Leo failed her because he caught her cheating . +That ’ s no laughing matter . That means she ’ ll have to take the whole course again . I can ’ t believe she ’ s going to have to start from the beginning . +It serves her right ! +This is my uncle , Charles . +He looks strong.What does he do ? +He's a captain . +He must be very brave . +Exactly ! +OH , This is the famous Emperor Palace building . +It ’ s huge . +Would you like to go to the top ? +Yes , of course . +The view is breath-taking . +I really should be on my way . +Oh , not yet . At least have one for the road . +No , thanks all the same . +Well , I am sorry you have to leave so early . +Thank you very much . I really had a good time . +Well , thank you for coming . +So see you . +Bye . +Hi , how ’ re you doing ? +Terrible . +Oh , what ’ s the matter ? +I ’ Ve got a fever and really a bad headache . +Oh , that ’ s too bad . Why don ’ t you take some aspirin ? +I ’ Ve already tried some but it didn ’ t help . +Well , it ’ s necessary for you to see a doctor . +Yeah , I guess I should . +Well , you ’ d better get some rest . +Thank you very much . +Bye . +Valerie ! Hi ! Wow how have you been ? It ’ s been such a long time ! +Darlene ! Indeed , it ’ s been a while ! How have you been ? Wow , you look amazing ! I love what you ’ Ve done with your hair ! +Really ? Thanks ! I went to that hair salon that you told me about , but enough about me ! Look at you ! You haven ’ t aged a day since the last time I saw you ! What is your secret ! +Ha ha , come on ! Well , I ’ Ve been watching what I eat , and working out three times a week . By the way , I heard your son recently graduated ! +Yes , my little Paul is finally a doctor . They grow up so fast you know . +He is such a handsome guy . He gets his looks from his mother of course ! +Thank you ! What about your daughter , Pamela ? I heard she has passed the bar exam and married recently . +Oh yes . She had a beautiful wedding in Cozumel Mexico and we all attended . +Such a lovely girl . I hope my Paul is lucky enough to find a girl like that someday ! +But of course ! Well , it ’ s been great talking to you , but I have to get going . +Same here ! We will catch up soon , maybe over coffee ! +That would be great ! Give me a call ! +See you soon ! Bye ! Egg ... I can ’ t stand that woman or her obnoxious daughter . +I need help preparing for my presentation on Friday . +I could help you with that . +Are you sure you have the time ? +I promise you that I have the time to do this . If I didn't , I wouldn't offer to help . +What would be the best time for you to help me ? +Tomorrow night would work for me . +Should we just meet here ? +OK , and I'll bring some information that helped me with my presentation . +I'll see you then . +See you tomorrow night . +I'm so angry . I feel like killing someone . +Calm down . +Let me see . How much should I pay for you ? +Don ’ t think about it ! +No , this will not do . Let me see . +You pay for the taxi and dinner , then to even things up . +Good ideas . +Do you know that John isn't going to come back to our school ? +Really ? Why ? +He had moved and held a party on July 1st . +It's a pity that I was traveling around Europe at that time . +Even he's not coming back to school anymore , you still can call him and meet him on weekends . +You're right ! I will call him this weekend and meet him . +I went to Rotes ’ , you know , Edith Roth is the author of a book about moths . +Is she ? I thought she was a mathematician . +I ’ m so thirsty . +Are you ? I thought you had something to drink at her home . +No . Edith didn ’ t give anything to drink . +I ’ ll buy you a drink . +Oh ! Thank you . +How long will it take us to drive to London ? +I think it ’ s a distance of 180 kilometers from here to London , so it should be a two-hour drive on the motorway . +That ’ s unless there is a traffic jam . It could take three hours . +You ’ re right . We will be able to travel at high speeds at the beginning and end of the journey , because we will be in built-up area . +So , shall we allow three hours to cover the distance ? +Ok . You haven ’ t seen my company car , have you ? +No . let me take a look ... It ’ s longer than my car . +I think it ’ s over five meters long . I can ’ t remember exactly . It has a maximum speed of over 200 kilometers an hour . +Wow ! That ’ s fast ! I don ’ t think we will be traveling that fast on the motorway . +We can ’ t . if we went that fast , we would break the speed limit . +I ’ m Miss Sherman . What seems to be the problem ? +Well , apparently I ’ Ve run up quite a bill . I was under the impression that the Junior Executive Holiday Package only cost 250 dollars per night . I ’ Ve just been informed that it ’ s actually 500 do +That ’ s true . For the Junior Executive Room ... three nights ... yes , your bill should be $ 1,500 +But I definitely was led to believe that a three-night stay would be $ 750 . +The advertised rate is based on double occupancy . +When I booked the room , your staff didn ’ t mention this . And the brochure and your promotional mailings do not mention that . +Are you quite sure ? +Yes . Have a look . +I see . I had no idea our advertising was so misleading . It is here , but it ’ s in the fine print on the last page . +Perhaps you could arrange to provide me with a new bill that reflects the advertised rate . +Normally I couldn ’ t do that . But under the circumstances , I ’ ll see what I can arrange.Customer satisfaction is our primary aim . +Thank you . +I wish I knew who had moved our flower pots . +It was me . I am so sorry . +What did you think you were doing ? +I had to move it , so that I can get my bike through . +How dare you be so inconsiderate ? That's wrong . +I am awfully sorry . I didn't think you would mind so much . +Never do that again . +I promise . +Is anything the matter , sir ? +Yes , it's my steak . +What's wrong with it , sir ? +It's too raw . I wanted mine well done , but this one here is almost medium . +I am sorry you didn't enjoy it , sir . I will return it to the kitchen and bring you one that is well cooked . How is your steak this time , sir ? +Very good . It's done just right this time , thank you . +I am glad you enjoy it . I will tell this to the chef . Would you like some more beer ? +Yes , please give me another Calsberg . +Can I bring you some dessert ? +No , thank you . I've had enough . +How about some coffee or tea then ? +Yes , I will have a cup of coffee . +Joanne , let ’ s not make this divorce any more acrimonious than it already is , okay ? Let ’ s just get down to business and start dividing this stuff up fairly , so we can go our separate ways , alright ? +Fine with me . I just want to get this over with . It ’ s important we make a clean break . I should have signed a pre-nup . +What was that ? +Nothing ! Anyway , you ’ re right , there ’ s no reason this has to be nasty.My lawyer tells me you ’ Ve accepted our alimony proposal and the division of property , as well as the custody agreement - I keep the cat and you get the dog . So that ’ s done ... finally . +Let ’ s not go there , Joanne ! Ok , so let ’ s start with the record collection , I ’ ll take the albums I contributed and you can have your cheesy disco albums back . +Fine , but I ’ m keeping the antique gramophone as my grandfather gave it to me . +I believe that was a wedding present to both of us , Joanne . And you hardly ever use it ! +He ’ s my grandfather , and he never really liked you anyway ! +Whatever ! Alright , I ’ ll concede the silly gramophone , if you ’ ll agree that I get the silver tea set . +How typical , when are you ever going to use a silver tea set ? Fine ! I don ’ t want to drag this out any longer than necessary . What ’ s next ? What about these old photographs ? +Which ones ? Let me have a look.Wow , look at that ! That brings back memories ... That ? +Our trip to Italy ! I remember that day . We were going to visit the Trev fountain , and we got caught in the rain ... +... and you looked so adorable with your hair all wet . I had to take a picture of you standing there in that little alley , smiling and laughing in the rain ... +Oh , we really did have fun back then , didn ’ t we ? +Oh , Joanne , are we making a big mistake ? I know our relationship has been on the rocks for sometime but are you sure we can ’ t reconcile and try again ? I still love you . +Oh Jeff ! I love you too ! I ’ m so glad we didn ’ t have to decide who keeps the motorcycle . +The motorcycle ? But that ’ s mine ! +Hi ! Ed , what's up ? +Nothing . +Doesn't look like it to me . +Just get out of my face ! +Woo , easy . +Leave me alone ! +What are you so ticked off about ? +I don't want to talk about it . +Maybe I can help . +I blew the finally exam . +You've got to be joking . +No , I'm not . +Well , don't get bend on a ship about it . +Can I help you ? +Yes , I ’ m doing some research on Roman civilization . Do you have any books on the subject ? +These books over here are about ancient history . They might be helpful . +Can I check this one out ? +I ’ m sorry . It ’ s for reference only , so it must stay in the library . But you ’ re welcome to look through it . +Ok . And I ’ d like to check these books out . +All right . They ’ re due back next Wednesday . +Thanks for your help . +Do you think you will ever work at that company again ? +When pigs fly ! +Are there any seats left for Saturday night ? +I still have five seats in the mezzanine . +I suppose there's nothing cheaper , is there ? +No . Nothing . I'm sorry . +Hi , do you have any tickets for the show tonight ? +Sorry , it ’ s all sold out . +Well , do you have any for tomorrow ? +We have tickets for the matinee . It starts at 3p . m . +Ok . I ’ ll take it . +Where would you like to sit ? +Do you have anything in the middle section ? I want a good view , but sitting too close hurts my eyes . +Certainly . +Jenny , I want to go on a picnic . Could you come too ? +I'd be glad to . I love picnicking . +Then , put on your casual clothes and pack some food and beverages . +Can I bring my camera with me ? +Sure . Bring enough films , please . +I sure will . +You ’ re going to set up your own law office , aren ’ t you ? +Yes . After so many years of hard work , I ’ d rather I had an office of my own . +If you need help , don ’ t hesitate to ask me . +I ’ ll be very glad if you would help . +I ’ d like to wish you every success in your new venture . +Thank you . I wish I would . +Good luck to you . +I can look anybody in the face because I ’ Ve done nothing to make me feel guilty or something . +There are not so many people like you . +You are flattering me . +Can I help you ? +Yes , I ’ m doing some research on Roman civilization . Do you have any books on the subject ? +These books over here are about ancient history . They might be helpful . +Can I check this one out ? +I ’ m sorry . It ’ s for reference only , so it must stay in the library . But you ’ re welcome to look through it . +Ok . And I ’ d like to check these books out . +All right . They ’ re due back next Wednesday . +Thanks for your help . +Do you have much experience with kids ? +Yes . I have three sons . Actually I also have a grandson . +To tell you the truth , sometimes I regret having a baby so early . I have been making so many sacrifices just because my husband insisted on keeping the baby . +I understand . I was in your position before . At that time I couldn ’ t depend on anyone taking care of the children for me . My husband seldom stayed at home . +What about your mother ? Did she help you ? +Yes , she did a little . But you see , Americans are different from Chinese . You can ’ t depend on your own mother to be a full-time babysitter . She could baby-sit only once or twice a week . That ’ s it . I had to care for them most of the time . +I see . So if my little family goes to America , I would end up taking care of my child all the time . My husband would have to make the bread for us . I just don ’ t know how I would get some education and be able to get a job some day . +Don ’ t worry . You can take night classes . I did that when I had kids . And soon your child will be old enough to attend kindergarten . Then you could find a job and work . +Sounds not so easy to me . When that happens , I will be too old to learn . +No . You see , I went back to school to get my Master ’ s Degree when I was in my thirties . You won ’ t be older than that . +Now I know why I split up with Mike . We found we were simply not good for each other . +In what ways ? +Well , he is a typical Sagittarius guy , while I am a Cancer . We aren't really compatible +Ha-ha , so you believe in astrology ? +What's strange about that ! As a person born under the sign of Cancer , I am home-loving and wish for a peaceful family life . But according to astrology , Sagittarius guys are too adventurous and risk-taking.They seldom think of leading a settled and peaceful life . +Is that so ? I'm afraid it is too narrow-minded to judge people using astrology . It's all stereotypes ! +But in my case , the fact matches the theory . Mike is humorous , energetic , always as fresh as a daisy , but probably too ambitious . It frightens me ! +But as far as I remember , you two caught on like a house on fire when you first met . +Exactly . But later on , he cares more about his career than love . Work seems to be the better all , and all for him-so much that he doesn't even grudge sparing a day out with me . +What does your father do ? +He is a worker . +What about your mother ? +She is a nurse . +When is your birthday ? +August 1st . +Do you usually have a birthday party ? +Yes , we do.My parents prepare dinner for me . +What would you do at the party ? +We sing " Happy Birthday " at the party and have birthday cakes . +Do you know when people began to sing the song " Happy Birthday " ? +Well , I don't know . +Let me tell you the story.In 1892 , Patty Smith Hill and Mildred Hill wrote a song called ' Good Morning to you ' . But later someone added the words ' Happy Birthday ' to their tune . +So the ' Happy Birthday ' song has been popular since then ? +Yes , actually , the song has been sung since its publication in 1932.People all over the world have sung it in many different languages . +Wow ! Look at all these books ! I bet I can find a book about anything here ! +Shih ! ! Please keep your voice down . There are people reading and studying here . +Ok , I'm sorry . Are you the librarian ? Maybe you can help me , I am looking for a book . +Yes I am . You can check our online catalog to search the book you want based on the genre , title or if you know the author , I can point you towards the right direction . +I am looking for a book that has nursery rhymes . +That would be in our children's section . That book shelf there on the right . +Ok , I would like to check out these books . +Do you have a library card ? +No . How do I get one ? +I just need to see your drivers license or utility bill to prove that you a resident of this state . +Here you go . +So you are all set . You can have these books for two weeks . If you need to have them longer , you can bring them here to renew them . If you don't , you get charged ten cents a day for each book . +Ok , thanks ! +So will you come to work with us ? +Can I use my green pad again to write you admiring notes ? +We'll have to negotiate that . It's a possibility . +You miss me , don't you ? +Don't push your luck , Dave . +OK , I'm in . When do I start ? +As soon as you can get here . We'll be waiting for you . +Kim ! I'm here ! I brought all my old maternity clothes plus Dave and Alice's baby clothes ! +It's a little early for those , isn't it ? I still have eight months to go ... +Believe me , the time will fly by ! Before you know it , you'll be changing diapers ! You have to start preparing ! +I thought we could turn the upstairs study into a baby room . What do you think about lavender ? +I'll be back tomorrow with my work clothes and a gallon of lavender paint ! You just sit back and relax ! +You got a letter in the mail . +Give it to me . +What is it ? +It ’ s my acceptance letter from UCLA . +What does it say ? +I ’ Ve been accepted ! +Are you serious ? +I ’ m serious . +Good for you ! +NYU was my first choice , but UCLA is just fine . +I ’ m so proud of you . +Thanks . I ’ m proud of myself , too . +DO you have any plan for your future ? +I'd prefer to go abroad , if possible . +Many people are striving for going abroad nowadays.It seems to be a trend . +I'm one of them . +Too bad you missed Jane's performance . +How's it ? +It was so perfect that it won a unanimous 10 . +I went shopping without my umbrella yesterday morning . +Yesterday morning was beautiful I thought the sunning was going to continue . +So did I . that's why I didn't take my umbrella . I got cold in the rain in the afternoon . It was raining cats and dogs . +I know . I could not believe it when I got hit by that storm . It was pouring with rain all afternoon . +We really have some movable weather sometime . I wish I would live somewhere which were sunning all year round . +If it was sunning all year round there would be drought . You probably would not like it either . +I guess you are right . Maybe I just wish the weather could be a little more predictable . +The weather forecasters are not good at predicting the weather would be like . Our weather is so changeable . +Your garden is looking beautiful this summer . The flowers are really colorful . +Thank you . I have roses , tulips , and daffodils . Do you like the rockery with the smaller flowers ? +Yes , I do . Those are violets , aren ’ t they ? +Yes , they are . This afternoon , I ’ m going to prune the hedge . +The lower branches on that tree are hanging very low . Would you like me to cut them off for you ? +Thank you ! That would be very kind of you . I have a saw in the garden shed . +When the lower branches are removed , you ’ ll be able to sit under the tree . +Tomorrow , I ’ ll cut the grass . Then the garden will lock perfect . +Just make sure children don ’ t play in the flower beds and destroy the flowers . +You're late . +I know I'm late . I'm sorry . I tried to call you to tell you , but your phone seems to be disconnected . +My phone ? +Yes . An automatic message says your phone is not in service . +Really ? I had no idea . Let me check.Yes , it's dead . There's no dial tone . +So I couldn't get through . I knew I'd be late because my car wouldn't start.It was too cold I had to warm it up in the garage with a heater . That's why I'm late . +But this is terrible . I'm expecting important calls . +About what ? +You know what.The theater guild is supposed to call me and discuss a contract for my play.They are supposed to call me this evening.If I don't have a phone . Oh , what can I do ? +Well , the only thing you can do is tell the phone company and hope they fix it fast . +Do you have a cell phone ? +No . I hate cell phones.But you could go to a neighbor's house and use their phone . +Can you drive me ? I will go to Ann's house . It isn't far . I can call the theater guild from there and give them her number.She will let us wait in her living room . +Yes , of course I can drive you.So you don't want to get your phone fixed right away ? +Yes , I do.At Ann's house I will call the phone company and have them check my line.If they can fix it right away without coming to my house , then we'll just return here.But if not , I need to wait at Ann's house to talk with the theater guild.It ' s very important to me . +Alright , let's go . +Yes , let's go . +Linda , would you care for some candies or cookies ? +No , don't try to tend me . I'm becoming chubby , and I have to slender down . +You are not really chubby . You are actually thin enough . +I don't think so . I know I've put on weight this winter . +So you are watching your weight , aren't you ? +Yes , to tell you the truth . I am on the diet . +I've come to say goodbye . +When do you leave ? +I'm catching the 11:00 train . +Take care of yourself and don't forget to keep in touch . +Goodbye . Hope to see you again next year . +I wonder if we can change to Channel 26 . +Why ? I'd like to see what's on that channel . +A lecture on how to make stir-fried ginger beef , not the boxing you like . +I prefer boxing to beef . +What happened to your brother ? +It seems that he has gone ape over the girl . +Your parents must be worrying about him . +Yes , he ’ s been like this for two weeks . We don ’ t know what to do . +Have you talked to him ? +Yeah . But he just didn ’ t listen . +Are you having a good time ? +Oh , yes . It's a great party . There are some people I don't know , though . +Really ? Come on , I'll introduce them to you . +That would be great . +This is the first time for me to have a Chinese guest . I hope you like western cooking . +Yes . I like it very much . +Cooking is a hobby with me . I'm always trying to think up new recipes . I hope you like the soup . It's kind of a specialty of mine , so I hope you enjoy it . +It's excellent . +Thank you for your compliment.Won ' t you try this fish with white sauce ? I'm rather round of it . +It's delicious . +What sort of western food do you like best ? +I like beefsteak very much . Have you tried Chinese dishes ? +I find the Chinese dishes wonderful . +Well , it's getting late . I have to get up early tomorrow . So I must say good night . +It's still early . +I am not sure how to add a class . +Do you have an add sheet for me to sign ? +I'll bring one next time . +When you get the signed add slip , you must take it to the Admissions and Records Office or you will not be added . Can you find the office ? +I think I know where it is . +Across the courtyard on the right is the office . Follow the signs to the correct line . Is that clear ? +Thank you for your directions . It's clear . +You can't miss it . Add the class and then come back . We'll check later to make sure you are on the roll sheet . +That's great . Thank you so much . +Do the same thing with a drop slip if you ever need to drop a class . Good luck ! +Is the environment a big issues in your country ? It is in mine . +It is in mine too . The biggest issue is water . The climate is dry and so water conservation is very important . +What methods do you use to conserve water ? +Water is rationed . We can only use a certain amount each month . It means that we cannot use some modern household items , like washing machines . They use too much water . +I see . I think the biggest environment problem in my country is air pollution . +Yes , I agree . The air here is much more polluted than in my country . Of course , my country is more agricultural and has much less industry . +We have reduced emission of air pollutants in recent years , but cars are still a major source of them . Factories have become cleaner as stricter environment pollution law have been introduced . +The problem is now on a truly global scale . I don ’ t believe that any single country can do anything about it . +I think you ’ re right . There needs to be an international response to this problem . +Ms Anderson , my name is Mike . I am Division Chief of ABC Company . Welcome to Toronto . +Thank you . It's a pleasure to meet you . +A pleasure meeting you as well , the flowers are for you . +Thank you , they are beautiful . +hello , Jason , there is going to be a screening of Final Destination 3 at our campus cinema tomorrow . I plan to go to see it . +is it a horror movie ? +yeah , I love horror movies . Would you like to go with me tomorrow ? +no way . I will be scared out of my wits . +that's funny , I didn't know a big fellow like you could be so soft and timid on the inside . +Hey , how could you like to taste my fist ? +alright , all joking aside , what kinds of moves do you like ? +Um , let me see , romance , comedy . documentary , action , science fiction , animated and so on . +that is to say , you like all genres except for horror movies . +yeah . It seems like we don't speak the same language as far as movies are concerned . +not quite . I also greatly enjoy romance and comedy . +the Notebook is this type of movie . +really ? I haven't heard of it . +well then , this could be a nice opportunity to enjoy it together . I bet you'd love it . +Ok . I can't wait to see it . Let's go ! +Good evening.Welcome to our program . +Thank you.Good evening , Mr.Dean . +Would you tell us your name , please ? +I'm Helen Baker . +Glad to meet you , Ms.Baker . +Glad to meet you , too . +Where are you from , Ms.Baker ? +I'm from New Zealand . +What do you do for a living ? +I'm a teacher . +Thank you for coming , Ms.baker . +Congratulations on the new house ! +Thanks ! We love it . +Well , you guys worked hard for it . It's really beautiful . +I'm just not looking forward to cleaning it ! +You married Joe , didn't you ? +Joe ? I don't know what you mean . +I remember you are in love . +Oh , I took a shine to him when we met for the first time . But it comes and goes . +It's Greek to me . +Looks like a good party , I probably know about half the people . +Who ’ s that boy ? +Where ? +The one next to the telephone . +I don ’ t know . Never saw him before . Why ? +I think he ’ s the boy who just moved into my apartment building . +All the soldiers in that country are armed to the teeth . +What's happening in that country ? +The neighboring country is threatening their sovereignty with its nuclear bombs . +What ’ s the matter , BOB ? +I think it ’ s my ankle . +What happened ? +One of my snow-shoes that cause on rocks . +Can you stand ? +I don ’ t think so . It ’ s kind of sore . +what I have to give you a hospital for an ex-treat . +It ’ s that really necessary ? +It maybe worse than it seems . +What a brilliant smile ! +That's my cousin Hubert.He likes smiling . +He must be very easy-going . +Sure , he's ready to be friendly with anyone . +Which season do you like best ? +I like spring best . It is neither too cold nor too hot . Freezing days make me lazy and stuffy days make me lazier . How about you ? +I prefer summer , especially the summer evenings . When the sun comes down , it is so nice to take a walk and breathe . After a rain shower , the smell of the air is refreshing . It is also a best reason for ice-cream . +How do you get through the stuffy daytime ? +Well , I have to hide in the air-conditioned rooms . Anyway , it is all worth , just think about the cool evening time . +Hi , Betty ! Where's your boyfriend ? +I have no idea . +Guess what ? Paul and Susan are engaged . +Really ? When did that happen ? +A week ago ? They met last summer and now just sink . They will be married soon . +Have they set a date for the wedding ? +No , not yet . But Susan says they ’ d like to get married in November or December . Then they ’ ll go to Hawaii for their honeymoon . +Hello , Mary . How are you ? +Not bad . How about you , John ? +Fine . Thank you . +When were you born may I ask ? +On 20th May 1963 . +Do you know what it was according to the lunar calendar ? +27th day of the fourth month . +By the way , could you tell me when the film will begin ? +It will begin at 5:30 . +I am afraid I can't be there on time . +You can see it tomorrow . +I don't want to miss it today . +When the rain stops , you ’ ll see how beautiful the beach is . +But the rain has been pouring down for two days . We ’ Ve both caught colds . +And this bedroom is too big and damp . But it ’ s better than a tent . +How unlucky ! Let ’ s pack our bags and go home . +Hi , Sue . What's up ? +Hey , Andrew . How's everything with work ? +Ok , I guess . My boss has been on my back recently . +Really ? What's he been doing ? +You know , just giving me lots to do . I'm really busy right now . +Are you ? What are you busy with ? +Oh , lots of things . Mostly training new people . +So Kim , have you ever had anything stolen ? +Stolen ? No , why ? +My uncle just had his motorcycle stolen a few nights ago . I was just thinking about how clever criminals are these days . +Criminals are clever ? They ’ re only successful when people are careless . +I don ’ t know . The ones who stole my uncle ’ s motorcycle were pretty good . +If your uncle had an alarm system , then it wouldn ’ t have happened . +He did . It was one of the best ones available . But that didn ’ t stop them from disabling it . And on a crowded street too . +Didn ’ t anyone stop them ? +You would think that people would be smart enough to stop something like that . No one knew his motorcycle was being stolen . The thieves came in a truck and convinced everybody that my uncle was parked illegally and they were there to tow it away . +Wow , they were good . I guess criminals aren ’ t that dumb after all . +That ’ s not the end . They were so good that they convinced a bystander to help them lift the motorcycle and put it in the truck . +Would you and your wife care to come to our place and have tea with us some afternoon ? +Why , that's very kind of you , Mrs . Johnson . I'm sure my wife will be glad to . +How about tomorrow afternoon ? +Tomorrow afternoon would be fine . +A friend of mine has been taking an online career planning course these days . He told me the other day he has learned a lot from it . He recommended me to subscribe to it . What do you say ? +I think it is good if we know enough about career planning . We will make wiser choices . What else did he tell you about it ? +Well , just something in general , like several key steps in planning career and how to set specific and tenable goals . +Sounds practical ! To be honest , sometimes I feel puzzled about my future career . I am not sure if this job suits me the best though I work very hard on it and enjoy being a hard worker . I have always wanted to try something else and learn some new skills . +Making a decision to start over is not an easy thing to do . It seems that you need this course more than I do . I love my current job . If I take this course , I hope to learn some tricks to get myself more organized at work . If they can give suggestions about how to boost work relationships , that will be great . I need these to improve my current work performance . +Ok , then we can sign up for it together . +Would you like any toast , dear ? +Um ? +Toast , dear ? +As you like . +Would you like any tea , dear ? +It doesn ’ t make any difference to me . +Oh , you ’ re not listening to me . +Leave me alone . +May I help you ? +I need to copy some pages in my book . +The copier is right over there , in the corner . +Do I need to pay to use it ? +You have to pay to use the copier . +How much do you charge ? +You need to pay ten cents for every copy . +Is there a maximum number of copies I can make ? +You can make as many copies as you want . +I ’ m going to need you to show me how to use the machine . +There are instructions posted on the copier . +Thank you for your help . +You seem to be very tired . +Yes , I have been working for eight hours . +Why don't you join us to go out for a walk ? +No , really . I'm not in the mood for it . +Simon , may I introduce you to Linda ? You don ’ t know each other , do you ? +No . I ’ Ve not had the pleasure of meeting her yet . +How do you do ? I ’ m pleased to meet you . +How do you do ? +Please sit down . Help yourself just like you are at home . +What would you like to drink ? +A cup of coffee , please . +So , what do you think ? How do you like New York ? +I'm having a great time . I love it . I'm glad we came . +Yeah . I really like the stores and the shopping . +I love the museums , too . +But the traffic is pretty bad . +Yeah . I hate all this traffic . It's really noisy . +Listen , it's almost dinnertime.There are lots of restaurant around here.What do you want to try ? Italian ? Greek ? Japanese ? Thai ? +I can't stand making decisions . You choose ! +OK . Let's go American . Where's the nearest McDonald's ? +I have been very busy this year , working late , often taking work home and taking no vacation . I feel exhausted . +You should ask for a holiday and relax yourself for a little bit . You worked so hard . +You are right . For the past few weeks , I had no appetite and couldn ’ t sleep well . What ’ s worse my back started aching this Monday . It is time for me to take a vacation . +What's that ? +It's a surprise ! +For me ? +Yes . Let's go inside and you can open it up . +Wow ! It's big ! What could it be ? +I'll give you two clues . First , it cost more than $ 250 . And second , it's not big , but fat . +What does that mean , not big but fat ? You didn't buy ... +What would you like to drink ? +I'll just have water . +You seem depressed these days . What's the matter ? +I went bankrupt and I'm flat broke now . +If I can do anything for you , don't hesitate to let me know . +Thank you . +Good luck . I've got class in a few minutes . +Me too . I'll talk to you later . +OK . See you later . +Hi , Natasha , how's life ? +Great . My family came to visit me . +Oh , you must be very happy . How many people are there in your family ? +My immediate family is very large . It's my mother , my father , my two older brothers , my younger sister and me . +I have a small family . They are my parents , my younger brother and me . +I thought you were the only child in the family . Didn't China practice the only-child policy in the early 1980s ? +Yes , it did . But my parents are ethnic minority people . It's a preferential policy for an ethnic minority family to have two children . +Interesting . What do you think about families with only one child ? +The child must feel very longly . My younger brother is 10 years younger than me . Before he was born , I used to be the only child and always dreamed that I would have a younger sister or brother one day . +Do you get along well with each other ? +Yes , we are very close . He is 12 years old now and very smart . He always makes us laugh a lot . +You are very lucky to have such a nice family . +Thank you . +Don't you think it might be a good idea to hold the party outside ? +I don't think so . +How about going to a concert ? +That suits me fine . +Every year , the South has the floods . It is an act of God . +Do you really think so ? +Yeah , you have some other ideas ? +I think , in some way it is an act of God , but in another way , it just is caused by us . +For example ? +We didn't pay attention to the environment , cut down trees and polluted the air . +Oh , I see . Fortunately government has taken some action to prevent such things . +Good morning , Mary ! +Good morning , John ! +I want to have a few friends over for a dinner party to celebrate my birthday . Would you be able to come the next weekend on Saturday ? +I'd be delighted to , John . Saturday did you say ? +Yes , if that's all right for you . +I'm pretty sure I'll be all right . In fact , I'd be delighted to come over and celebrate your birthday with you.What time are you planning to start ? +Oh , good . If you could come around six thirty or seven o'clock , that would give us some time to chat a whit over a glass of wine before dinner . +That sounds fine . I'll be there around seven . +Bye , mom ! +Wait , Jimmy , it ’ s cold outside . Put a hat on ! +OK . Bye ! +No , wait , you will be too cold without mittens . +Alright . See ya ! +Hold on , with that wind , you ’ re going to catch a cold . Wear this scarf . +Ok , see you after school ... +Oh ... and ear muffs ! Put these on ... here we go . +Mom ? +Yes , honey ... +I ... I can ’ t breathe . +Jane , pleases come with us . +I cannot dance , you know . I have't such a talent . +Just for fun , not for showing . What do you worry about ? +Nothing . I have told you before that I won't go to the party and that's flat . +But ... OK . +Who is your favorite music composer ? +I don't have one single favorite , but these days I listen to a lot of Chopin . +Then you must despise such modern music as rock ? +Without doubt , rock is trash . +It's a lovely day , isn't it ? +Yeah , and most excitingly , I met the girl living under me today . She's really nice . +Is she American ? +Yeah , and most importantly , she's single ! Man , I could tell from the moment I saw her , she's the girl of my dreams ! +So I take it you two are hitting it off ? I know it's very convenient to be in a relationship with your neighbor , but what if you break up ? +I don't know . I am not really worried about that . I don't wanna lose before even starting . Besides I think the other two American guys have also fallen for her . +Sounds like you've got some competition . You made a move already ? +Not yet . But I am thinking of inviting her to dinner sometime . I know some good restaurants nearby . +That's nice . Having been here a little while surely gives you the advantage , eh ? +You bet . Now that you mentioned it , I think I'll call her now and see if she is available tonight . +Good luck ! +Thanks ! +Do you think you'll get the project ? +It's a chance in a million . I hear John is interested in it . +I see.After all , he's boss's son . +But anyway , I'll have a try . +Are you feeling better today , Bill ? +Well , it ’ s hard to say . I coughed a lot in the evening . +You ’ d better give up smoking . It ’ s bad for your health . +You ’ re right . But you know it ’ s so hard to give up the old habit like smoking . +But you should make up your mind first . +You know I often have to work far into the night . I need smoking to keep me awake . +Why don ’ t you go to bed early and get up early ? You ’ ll have the same time for work . +Thank you for your advice . I ’ ll try it . +Oh ! +What fools we were ! +To think of it ! All my old silver ! It meant so much to me . +And my new car . To think that he simply drove off with everything in my car . That's what hurts me most . +What's so terrible too , is the fools we've made of ourselves . +I hardly dare call the police . They'll just laugh at us . +I'll never get over it . Oh , Harry , it was all so unnecessary . That man ! ! How could he do this to us after we'd put him up ? +And his story didn't even hold together . I feel such an idiot . +I just saw Something About Mary last night . It was hilarious . +David took me to it last week . I thought it was a little sick . +What do you mean sick ? It was really funny , don't you think ? +It was entertaining in some ways . But in general I didn't like it . +Why not ? +I just think the humor was too gross . There were too many disgusting things in it . I don't think a comedy has to have so much smut to be funny . +It wasn't a dirty movie . There wasn't even any nudity . +No , you're right . But nudity doesn't bother me . What bothered me were all the jokes about masturbation , stuff like that . It was too sick . +Oh , you are too conservative . It's just realistic . +I don't think it's realistic . I thought it was sick . Why does a movie have to use that kind of humor ? +People think it's funny . +Do you know how to go to the Fragrant Hills in Beijing ? I heard that they are very famous in China . +Yes . Especially in autumn , the red leaves of the maple trees make the whole mountain red . +That must be very beautiful . +Yes , it can make people feel as if they were in the land of fairies . +Really ? Have you ever been there ? +A couple of times . +Can you go there with me ? I'd like someone who is familiar with that area to go with me . +Sure . I'd be very glad to be your tour guide . +Have you heard that Tom and his wife divorced ? +I didn't hear that . But I can deduce the reason . +Really ? Say it ! +Tom is a kind guy , but addicted to gambling . He spends all his time gambling in the casino . And his wife can't put up with his incessant gambling any longer , so she divorced him . Is that right ? +Yeah , quite right . Gambling broke up a happy family . +Yeah ! Gambling is often a curse . By gambling we lose time and treasure , two things most precious to a man . +Besides that , many people took to gambling and got in over their heads , and gradually ruined themselves . +In a word , gambling is a vice . We should be away from it . +Professor , could I make an appointment with you ? +I am free tomorrow afternoon between two and four ; do you have a particular time in mind ? +Two o'clock would be the best time . +Fine , do you know where my office is ? +No , I'm not sure . +Remember , it is in the E building on the third floor . +I see . +Don't worry , it will work out fine once you get there . I'll see you then . +I'll see you then . +Looking forward to meeting with you ! +Have you gone bowling before ? +No . Could you tell me something more about it ? I want to play well . +There are 10 frames in a bowling game . Each player is allowed to bowl two balls in each frame . +You just said 10 rounds . +' Round ' and ' frame ' are two different terms . +Perhaps you can tell me a little more about this . +Hey , slow down . I'll tell you more while playing . +I'm told Cold Blood just finished its last cut . +Yeah , it'll make a hit , I think.When will it be on , do you know ? +Sure , it'll be on next Monday . +Hectic . It's always hectic . But how was your windsurfing ? +I tried it for a half-hour.It was interesting , but ... well ... I couldn't really do it . +See ? I told you . It's very hard . +I couldn't even stand on it and hold the sail . I probably fell down fifty times . +Fifty times ? +Yes , it was really stupid . +And how much did it cost to rent it ? +It was fifty dollars for a half-hour . +Well , that's not too bad then . +What do you mean ? It's expensive ! +Yes , but you have to calculate a little.You paid fifty dollars and you fell down fifty times.So you only spent one dollar per fall . That's cheap . +How's your girlfriend ? +We broke up . +How are you tonight , sir ? +Oh , not too bad . I'm just glad the weekend's finally here . +I know what you mean . What can I get for you ? +Give me a screwdriver on the rocks . +One screwdriver , coming right up . ( He mixes the drink . ) Here you are , sir . +Thanks . +I think you should look over these figures again . There are some calculations that are a bit off . +I apologize . This should not have to be this way . +Apology is accepted . Try to do better next time . +Of course , I should have been more careful . I ’ m sorry . +You didn ’ t show up in the morning meeting . What ’ s up ? +Well , I just came in . I worked overtime yesterday . Some statistics and very important documents seemed to be inaccurate . So I stayed to double check them . The boss was aware of my very late work of last night . So before he left office , he told me I could come one hour later this morning . +But you still look a little bit tired . What time did you leave ? +It was around one thirty in the morning . I guess I didn ’ t fall asleep till 3 because those numbers were involving in my mind . I just couldn ’ t stop thinking about them . +That ’ s normal after a tense work evening . Working overtime is not always a pleasant experience for me either . Once , I worked overtime everyday for a whole week including the weekend . That really broke my rhythm and I got a little sick later . +Working at weekend is something I hate to do most . +But if the company asks , what else can we do ? +Hi ! It's still seven o'clock . Are you crazy ? +I got the information that there is a killer sale at the shopping mall near our block . Get up and I will wait for you at the gate of our flat . +Every time when you glimpse some stylish clothes , you change into another person . +Stop complaining , OK ? +No wonder you are named shopaholic . +No , I am not a shopaholic , but a super shopaholic . And I really enjoy smelling the gorgeous clothes and new bags . +Wait a moment . And you can check where other sales are . +What's wrong , Bob ? +I was wondering if you could company me to the Ball ? +Of course , I will . +That's great . I'll pick you up at eight . +How do I look in this new dress ? +You ’ d better change it . It ’ s ugly . +How about this one ? +It ’ s really elegant and it fits you really well . +They must be your parents , what do they do ? +My mother is a professor and my father is a manager . +Do they often take you out ? +No , usually they're very busy . +You did well on the math test . +Of course . +Don ’ t you always fail in the math tests ? +Things were different this time . I sat by a math genius . +Huh ? You mean you snuck a peek at his test ? +B :: Come on ! I just took a glance . +Are you crazy ? You were cheating . +I can't decide whether to go to university or to get a job . +Well , if I were you , I'd go on studying . +But I don't even know what to study . +If I had chance again , I'd major in English . You're good at language . +That's what my parents want me to do . +You should take their advice . They know what's best for you.But my friends will have jobs and lots of fun , while I spend all my time doing reading and writing . +But if you go to university , you'll still have time for fun . +Hm , what you say makes sense . But you know , I still have to ask my parents for pocket money , and I hate to do so at this age . +And if you try to find a part-time job , you'll have some money too . +You're right . Thank you for the advice . +Well , I can ’ t believe your uncle and aunt came to stay with us for a week , and they did not even call us in advance . +John , they are old-fashioned people from the Chinese countryside . That ’ s their custom . +I know , but it is hard for me to get used to your relatives coming to visit us , and without warning . +Don ’ t your relatives visit other relatives ? +Yes , but Americans never visit without calling in advance , and they almost never stay overnight . +I think that maybe Chinese families are closer than your families . +I think you ’ re right ! +I want to buy two tickets for tonight's concert . +Sure . How do you like your seats ? +Ordinary one , please . +Ok , here are your tickets in Row 13 . +I think they are too far from the stage . I want two in row 6 . +That's fine . But you have to pay another $ 10 . +Is this watch yours ? +No , it isn't mine . I blundered upon it under the sofa . Do you know whose watch it is ? +Let me have a look . It's mine . I have been looking for it , but just cannot find it . It's present from my father . +Well , here you are . Remember to put it in a proper place . +Who are we going to play with today ? +We are playing against Hainan . +Oh , the basketball team from No . 1 College ? I know they're a tough team . +Sure they are . +Who's winning ? +We are , 27 to 26 . +Really ? I thought that they'd been killing us by now . +How can it be ? We are a tough team as well . +Are you a smoker ? +Yes , I ’ m afraid I am . My husband is a smoker too . +Would you describe yourself as being a heavy smoker ? +No . But my husband smokes 20 or more a day . +When did you begin to smoke ? +I had my first cigarette when I was 17 . +Might I ask if you have tried to give up smoking ? +Yes . Twice . +How about the hiking ? It was freezing yesterday , are you all ok ? +Can ’ t be better , it was wonderful . We had a lot of fun there . There was so much joy and walk and breathe the winter air . We arrived at the park at 9 o ’ clock in the morning and didn ’ t leave till 3 o ’ clock in the afternoon . +You had been walking for 6 hours , isn ’ t that boring ? +Of course not ! We built a snowman , some snow dogs and one big snow fort . We went sliding on the nice hill . It was a real work out . At noon , we had the most special winter picnic outside . Fortunately , we got it all on a video tape . You must come with us next time . I bet you will love it . +Well . You know I hate walking , but I can ’ t wait to see your guys ’ video . +You know them ? +No , but those guys like to hit on me . +Here we are , Ryan ! This is where we're going to celebrate ! +It's a ETV palace ! I'm glad I brought my platinum card . +You won't need it . Stanley , my best man , is going to treat everybody ! +Where is Stanley ? It was his idea to have the bachelor's party at a ETV , wasn't it ? +If it were up to Stanley , we'd have the wedding in the ETV ! He loves to sing . +Then I bet he's really good ! +Well , uh , I'll let you decide that for yourself . He'll be here a little later . Here's our room ! +What a nice dress , Jean.You look marvelous ! +You , too . Where did you get your new hat ? +From the Crown's . Oh , what lovely earrings you have ! Are they diamond ? +Yes . It's a birthday present from my husband ! +Well , you are lucky to have such a considerate husband . Mine hasn't brought me a single rose since we married . +He'll come out with surprises . Just wait and see . Look at that woman , with the white chiffon ! +She's chic , isn't she ? +Yes . I like the dress . It must be the latest fashion . Look , the hem has lowered , and the waist narrowed . +It makes me feel rather shabby . That woman has a good taste in dressing , I would say . +Yes . She dressed with an individual flair . I rather envy her . +Most women follow fashion like sheep.They don't know any better than imitate . +I quite agree with you.See the woman there ? I dare say she hasn't got any eyes . How could she match the mauve gown with the green handbag ? And all that jewelry ! +The gown is quite expensive , believe me . +So what ? It only makes her look cheap and vulgar . +You know those upstarts . They're all show-offs ! I think I'd better have a diet ; otherwise I'd look like a ballon soon . +You're quite slim . In fact , if you were one of those starlets , the movie company would say you have a fabulous figure . +Thanks . I'm flattered . +Oh , my shoes pinch me . Let's find a seat and sit a while . +Whoa , whoa , what ’ s going on ? Watch out ! +Hey , watch where you ’ re going ! +Oh , no ! I ’ m so sorry ! Are you all right ? +Oh ... I don ’ t know . +I feel terrible , I really didn ’ t mean to knock you over . My tire , just exploded , and I lost control of my bike . Really , it was an accident . Please accept my apologies . +Oh , wait a second , you seem really familiar , I think I know you from somewhere . +Yeah , I think we have met somewhere before . That ’ s right ! We met at Aaron ’ s place last weekend ! What a coincidence ! But anyway , I ’ m glad to see that you ’ re not too badly hurt , and I should probably get going . I have a nine o ’ clock meeting . +Ouch ! My ankle ! I think it ’ s broken ! You can ’ t just leave me like this ! Are you calling an ambulance ? +Nope , I ’ m canceling my appointment so that I can stay here with you . +Hello , james . Come in . go through to the living room . +Hi Kate ... thanks ... wow ! Look at all the furniture . You must spent a fortune on it ! I love your new three-pieces suite . +I told you that I had been saving up money to buy some new furniture and do some redecorating . I finally saved enough and did everything at once . +Good for you ! You ’ Ve got new curtains too . That ’ s a very nice shade of blue . This sofa is very comfortable . I could sit on it all day ! +Do you like my carpet ? Be honest ! Tell me what you really think . +To be honest , it looks like your old carpet . Is it really new or did you just have your old cleaned ? +Well spotted ! I actually had it cleaned twice , because it was so dirty . The rug is new . You remember my trip to china ? Well , I bought is there . +Oh , you are out of breath ! What ’ s happened ? +A gang of bastards are wildly shooting on the next street . We must leave this place the soonest . +That it easy.They get caught before they come here . +Stop your nonsense ! Quick . Let ’ s leave the place ! +People of different races are fit for quite different sports . For instance , Asians are especially good fattable tennis , badminton , diving and shooting . They seem to have been born with certain natural endowments in technical sports , in which flexibility , agility and quick reflexes are favorable . +And a typical example has been the Chinese athletes at the Beijing Olympics , right ? +Yes , in all these four sports . the Chinese Olympic dream teams led the way . They swept the floor against their opponents in table tennis and diving . +Then what are the Westerners fit for ? +I think they are in a better position in those sports that demand a high degree of intensity , speed and explosive force like swimming , field games , etc . +Where do you think the edge is for black athletes ? +It's common sense that African athletes always make a clean sweep in track events , middle or long distance races , relays , hurdles , barriers , and marathon . +I got you . Their competitive edge lies mainly in endurance and stamina . They are creatures from the savannah , and take to running like antelopes . +This man looks very handsome.Is he married ? +Sure.He has already married , a father of two boys . +Oh , I can't believe it.He looks very young . +He took the picture when he was only 21 years old . +I see . +We seem to be lost here . +Possibly . +I suggest that we go and ask for help from the policeman . +Not a bit . +It's crunch time , isn't it ? I wasn't nervous before the meeting , but now I am . +No kidding . Time is running out . +It would help to bring in a couple more troubleshooters . +Vince says he can't afford anybody else . We're got to come through . +Do you think we'll make it ? +I guess we'll either make it , or we won't . +Here is the song list . +Do you have any English songs ? +Yes , here you are . +Let me have a look . Everything I do I do it for you 、 Unchained melody 、 My heart will go on . Oh , and I ’ d like to try Everything I do I do it for you . +Let me play it for you . +Is it easy to locate it ? +It's very easy . Here it is . Ready ? Excellent ! You are a good singer . You sing the bass so well . +I used to be a better singer . I haven't sung in the Karaoke for a long time . It's your turn . +I'll sing a Chinese folk song Love song of Hanging , first in Chinese then in English . +That's really my pleasure to listen to a Chinese song . +What ’ s the plot of your new movie ? +It ’ s a story about a policemen who is investigating a series of strange murders . I play the part of the detective . He has to catch the killer , but there ’ s very little evidence . It ’ s a psychological thriller with some frightening scenes , but I hope audience won ’ t be too scared to go to the movie theatres ! +Did you enjoy making the movie ? We heard stories of disagreement with other actors and with the director . +I have had disagreement with every director . I ’ Ve worked with . We ’ Ve always disagreed in a friendly way and we have always resolved our differences . It was the same when I made this movie . I don ’ t know where rumours of my disagreement with Rachel Kelly come from . We got on very well and I hope to work with her again . I enjoyed making the movie very much . +Critics are not very happy with the movies that you ’ Ve made recently . Does that bother you ? +Not at all . The feedback from audience has been great . I care about what they think more than what the critics think . +Did you do you own stunts in the movie ? +I wanted to , but my insurance company wouldn ’ t let me . All of my stunts were done by a stuntman . As you know , I used to do my own stunts , but I ’ ll leave that to the experts in future . +Thank you very much for doing this interview . +My pleasure . Have you seen the movie yet ? +Yes . I have . I liked it very much . Like you , I was very impressed with Rachel ’ s performance in the movie . She ’ s going to be a star . +It looks like our company trip will have to be canceled because of the typhoon . +That's disappointing . I was really looking forward to it . +I'd like to meet you again sometime . +That would be great . Actually , can I get your phone number , Ella ? That's assuming you don't mind if I call you sometime . +Anytime . You can reach me at 5558929 . +Ok , got it . I will call you sometime next week . +Fine . +It's time to go . Bye , Ella . Hope to see you soon . +Bye , Jason . +Do you mind if I ask you to practice speaking English with me ? +No . Of course not . But what for ? +Well , I'm meeting some American friends next weekend . +I see . But I'm busy now . How about tomorrow ? +have you ever thought about your ideal home ? +I have , actually ; I ’ Ve always wanted to build my dream home myself . +what would it be like ? +well , it would be spacious and located next to a park , because a nice view is important to me . +how many rooms would it have ? +I ’ d want it to have three bedrooms on a second floor with balconies on each , and one main bedroom on the main floor with an attached en suite . I ’ d also want a large living room and kitchen connected t +how many bedrooms would your dream home have ? +I ’ d have one guest bathroom in the basement , one attached to the main bedroom , and one upstairs , so a total of three . +how would you decorate your house ? +I don ’ t like a lot of clutter , so I wouldn ’ t have lots of things out . I would have a few vases on the mantel piece and some pictures of my family on the walls , but other than that , most things would b +how many TVs would your dream home have ? +I think TV is a great waste of time , so I would only have one small TV in the kitchen to watch the news in the morning . +Have you ever made any plan for your future ? +Of course I have . I'd like to marry a handsome man and have two children if possible . +Not me . I'd like to be a bachelor forever . +I don't believe you can make it when you meet your Mrs . Right . +The Mountains would be a great place for the company retreat . +That's a wonderful choice . +I have chosen January as the month for this retreat . +January is a little too close to the Christmas holidays . +Yes , maybe another choice might be better . +I think that April would work . Spring is a lovely time to be in the mountains . +Thank you for thinking of that . +Maybe if we asked around we could see what people would prefer . +That is a good idea . +I'll take care of taking the survey and get back to you with the answers . +Susan has got married . +Really ? How do you know that ? +Her marriage was a hole and corner affair . +Why ? That ’ s good news , but no one knows it ? +I have no idea . Maybe she didn ’ t want to let us ... , so ... +I'd love that . I'm so glad I quit . It's time for a change . +Does that mean you're going to take my advice ? +Yes . I'm looking for a position as a chef . +I might be able to help ... +I'm sure you have great connections . +We'd like to open another restaurant ... with you as the head chef and manager ... +Really ? You have that much faith in me ? And Giovanni agreed to it ? Does he know who I am ? +Yes . But you know him . He's just worried that you're not Italian ... +He's prejudiced , isn't he ? +No . He's afraid that no one will cook as good as his mother did . +Ah ! I know a way to convince him that Americans can make good Italian food ! +How's that ? +You'll see next week . I'll come by one day at lunchtime . +I just got sacked . +I'm sorry to hear that . +What do you do in your spare time ? +I listen to music and read . +What kind of music do you like ? +I think I like classical music better . +Actually me , too . +Hi , how is it going ? +Pretty good , Sam . Only the awful weather , you know . +That ’ s right . I ’ Ve never really liked it since I got here . +Me either , but I ’ m dealing with it anyway . +What a surprise meeting you here , Landy . +I ’ m here as a tourist . +It ’ s a small world , isn ’ t it ? +Yes , it ’ s a small world . We never know where we ’ ll meet someone we know . +Can we sit on the grass , darling ? +No , you can't , darling . The grass is wet . +Look , darling ! I can see a bench near that tree . +No , you can't . The bench is wet , too . +It's not raining , darling . The bench isn't wet . +Can't you see a notice on the bench ? +Yes , I can . +What does the notice say ? +It says ' Wet paint ! ' +Do you have any year-end benefits ? +I don ’ t know till now . +I just saw a piece of news , that a group of white color workers hold a flour war in the office because of dissatisfaction of the year-end benefits . +Why they hold a flour war ? +They got rice , flour and oil as presents , while the leadership got 1000 yuan shopping card . +They are not feeling satisfied ? +It is said that the presents they got value less than 200 yuan , and it is no use for them at all , because they don't cook by themselves . +But how guilty to waste food ! +Now , David , can I get you a drink ? What will you have ? +Coffee , please . +What about you , Mary ? +Coke is fine.Thank you . +Hey ! I have a surprise for you . +What is it ? +Open this card and read . +A trip to China for summer vacation . Wow ! What a wonderful surprise ! Thank you . This is the best surprise I've ever had . +Have you heard we'll have a pay rise ? +Oh , it has nothing to do with me . +It's a pity , but why ? +I came here only a month ago . +Shall we go for a drive today ? +It feels like there's going to be rain later . +Maybe you're right . +We'll go tomorrow . +How do you like this waltz ? +It's very nice . I like it very much . +Well , then , may I invite you for the first dance ? +My pleasure . But I'm afraid I'm not much of a dancer , and I suppose you dance often . +Me ? Oh , no . In fact , I only took up dancing quite recently . +Oh , really ? But you're doing the waltz wonderfully well . +I'm glad you say so . You dance beautifully too . It's lucky that I got you as a partner . +Thank you for your compliments . It's just you are a good leader . Do you like the foxtrot and tango ? +Yes . And what dances do you like best ? +Disco is my favorite . I like it better than any other dances because it can release one's hidden feelings , and is a healthy exercise . But I don't do the rock and roll nor break-dancing . +Oh , well , the music has stopped . Thank you for the dance . +My pleasure . +Are you sure it was him ? +I used to date him . Of course it was him . +You're a nurse at New York General Hospital ? +Yes , on the cancer ward . And Taylor was there . He walked right by me and didn't even see me . +Maybe he was just visiting someone . +But you saw how skinny and pale he looks . He has " cancer patient " written all over his face . +Jason , it's your turn . +I hope I get an easy question like you did . +You rolled a four . Let's see ... you landed on Foreign Films . +Oh , great . That's just my luck ! I hate those arty movies . +Well , too bad . So , what foreign film won an Oscar in 1993 ? +Oh , please ! I have no idea . +The answer is Belle Opaque . It's a Spanish movie , and the title means The Age of Beauty in English . +I'm leaving now , mum . +Take care , sonny ! +I will.Bye - bye ! +Bye ! +You hoo , anybody here ? +Over here , Betty ! +Hi , Rock Sam ! Hey , I am surprised to see you doing so well . +Haha . Don ’ t worry , Betty . So tell me , what ’ s the latest gossip ? Unless you want to keep it to yourself . +No way . Alisan Darling just got hitched in Vagas . +No kidding ! What happened to Ad ? +Darling found out he was having a fling , and one new girl found out about Darling she dumped him too . +Was , talk about a double whammy . +Ya . And now I can break this to you . Fanny is moving . +Oh , right . What a load off my mind . I really don ’ t like her . +Well I have to go , Rock Sam . You take it easy , OK . +Thanks for the visit , Betty . +When do we get off the bus ? +I think we have a while longer . +I feel like we've been on this bus forever . +That's true . +Are you sure we weren't supposed to get off already ? +I don't know . +I thought you knew where we get off at . +I wasn't really paying attention . I think we missed our stop . +Seriously ? +Yeah , we definitely missed our stop . +That's the last time I get on a bus with you . +My bad.sorry ! +I'm afraid it's a bad news for you .

We got some complaints from consumers yesterday . I am terribly sorry for that . +My God ! I actually checked them one by one . How could this be ? +Calm down ! It is useless to act like that . Can we find some solutions ? +What kind of solution can I have now ? I nearly go crazy now . +But we still have to find one . Can we find Arden to check whether this is true or not ? +It seems that I have nothing to do , except this . +Face the reality . Maybe we can find the way to make up the loss . +Then I'll have to borrow it . +Sure you can . But I'm only gonna keep it for a month . +Why ? It's in mint condition ! +That's why I can profit from it ! +You're going to re-sell it on eBay Taiwan ? +You bet . eBay Taiwan doesn't have it ! And bidding will start at two thousand NT . This baby's worth about six thousand to real tennis fans ... +I've created a monster ... you're a better bayer than me ! +Hello , ABC Company . Can I help you ? +Yes , of course .

You can tell by just smelling them ? +No , I just read the names off the packages ... Ha ! +Morning , Mom . +I made a doctor's appointment for you . +No , I'm fine . I don't need to see a doctor . +Then I guess you're healthy enough to clean your room before school . +OK . I'll go see the doctor . +Bundle up . It's wet and rainy out there . Here's some soup . +Chicken soup again ? +Soup does the body good , sweetie . It's what you need when you're under the weather . +Would you please make a skirt for me with this material please ? +What kind of style do you want ? +I like miniskirt . +Now let me take your measurements . +When can I get it ? +Three days later . +Thank you , see you then . +Bye-bye . +Hey , Jim .

Which would you rather have fish or meat ? +Meat , I think . +Don't you like fish then ? +I do , but I want meat . +Shall we have some white wine then ? +Yes , but I prefer red wine with meat . +What would you like for dessert ? +I just want to have a coffee , I think . +Fine , and after dinner , shall we go to a disco ? +No , thanks . I'd like to go straight home . I'm very tired . +I'm calling to ask about your apartment you advertised . +Yes , we've got great apartments with charming environment and nice scenery.And they are all newly renovated . +That sounds fantastic ! But I am looking for something closer to downtown , as I spend most of my time at the office . +No problem . We have a nice apartment located near the Oriental Square . It's perfect for people busy with office work . It is fully furnished with a service staff taking care of the trivial details . +I'm sure they are wonderful , but I need an unfurnished apartment with relatively lower cost . +Ah ! I get your point . We have just what you need . Our Jinyuan apartments have several floor plans . The one bedroom apartments are very economical , but their layout makes great use of a small amount of space . I think you can find a very apartment there . +Great ! I'll arrange a viewing after work tomorrow afternoon . Could you tell me the detailed dress ? +Of course . It's just at 19 Lingual Road . You can phone me again if you can't find the right place . +OK . Thank you . +Mom , I want to get a motorcycle . Is that all right with you ? +You mean a murder cycle ? Did you know more cyclists die in accidents than motorists ? +Mom ! I'll wear a helmet and I'll drive sane . I promise . +I'll tell you what . You can get a motorcycle on one condition . +What's that ? +You spend two weeks with dad in his ambulance as an EMT trainee and volunteer at the emergency room for one month . +And after that ? +After that , we'll let you decide if you still want a murder , I mean motorcycle . +Hello , John . How are you ? +I'm fine , thanks . And you ? +Very well , thanks . Nice to see you again . I haven't seen you for a long time . What have you been doing lately ? +Oh , nothing much really . And how is everything with you ? +Fine , thanks . I've been busy lately . +What have you been doing ? +I've been studying for my exams . My school exams will begin next month . +Really ? Good luck for them . +Thanks . And how are your parents ? +They're both very well , thanks . +Where are you going now ? +I'm going to do some shopping . Why don't you come with me ? +I can't . I have to meet someone . +It's been nice talking to you . +Good-bye . See you again sometime . +Good morning . I'd like to check out right now . +May I have your room number 。 Sir ? +Room 103 . +Just a minute , Sir.Are you Mr Wang from China ? +Yes.Wang Bin . +Mr Wang , did you sign any bill in the last two hours in our hotel ? +No . +Have you used any hotel services this morning ? +No , I have not . +Here is your bill.It totals 3250 dollars . +All right .

Where do you want to go ? Are you in the mood for anything in particular ? +how about some dumplings ? I just can't get enough of them . +dumplings again ? ! Oh , Amy , let's try something new ! +well , what do you have in mind ? +how about the Mongolian hot pot ? +oh , it's too spicy for me . Don't you remember last time when I tasted the lamb ? It was so spicy my eyes teared up ! +maybe we can try Yuanyang pot this time . You can choose the non-spicy soup base . +sounds great . Do they serve noodles ? I am in the mood for some tasty noodles as well . +yes . The sliced noodles they offer are among the most authentic Shanti cuisines . +great . Let's go ! +wait a minute . Let me throw on a sweater . +Good morning . Could I speak to Frans Smith please ? +Frans Smith ? I think you may have the wrong number . +Is this Taiwan 8234342 2 , DS engineering ? +It is .

I'm just putting you through now . +What do you want to do in this company after five years ? +I want to be in a higher managerial position in the field of international marketing .

Brussels will be center of the new market in the continent . +What are you looking for in your next job ? +My experience in my last job showed that I have the talent to motivate people .

I want to continue that kind of contribution and to further develop this potential . +What is your career objective ? +I want to apply my knowledge and experience to a challenging position and finally move on to management level . +What do you consider important when looking for a job ? +I think the most important thing is the nature of the job . One should never do anything one is not interested in . To me , pleasant working conditions with co-operative staff are also important . +Hey ! Ask your mom for more old pictures , OK ? +Can't it wait ? She's still angry that we sent e-mail wedding invitations . +But we saved your parents so much money ... +I know . And they're spending enough on the plane tickets to Texas ! +Speaking of plane tickets , don't forget to check on the reservations ! +OK . +How much will it be all together ? +$ 200 , please . +Can I pay by check ? +I'm afraid you can't , ma'am . We accept only traveler's checks and credit cards . +OK . How about this card then ? +We can take it . Just a moment ... Please sign here . +Excuse me . My bag was stolen , will you help me ? +When did it happen ? +Just about half an hour ago . +Tell me where it happened and how . +Yes , it was just when I was walking in the park . I saw some children with a newspaper . +That happens often these days . Well , please fill in this Report of Theft . +I want to get in touch with the Chinese Embassy because my passport was in the stolen bag . +I know in your resume that you have worked in your present company for 3 years , can you tell me why you want to leave your present job and join us ? +Because the job I am doing in my present company is of no challenge , but I like challenge.Your firm is a young organisation with many innovative ideas . It has been very successful in an expanding market since its establishment 10 years ago . Working for you would be exactly the sort of challenge I am looking for . +Why do you think you are qualified for this position ? +I have excellent communication skills and I am familiar with the procedures for the last company I worked for . Besides , I am a team player and have great interpersonal skills . +So , tell me about you new house . How is it different to your old one ? +Well , first of all , it ’ s much bigger . It has the same number of rooms , but each room is larger . We also have a larger garden , which our dog loves , of course ! +So , it ’ s a three-bedrooms detached house ? +Yes . One bedroom is for my wife and I . there ’ s another for our daughter . My wife wants to use the third one as a guest room , but I ’ d like to make it into a study . Our daughter is also keen on making it a study , so that ’ s probably what will happen . +What ’ s the kitchen like ? I know both you and your wife like to cook . +That ’ s one of the main reason we chose that particular house . The kitchen and dining room are together . It ’ s really large . +Are the rooms nice and bright ? +Yes , they are . That ’ s very important to us . We like to live in a home with plenty of natural light . Each room has large windows . +Do you have a balcony ? +No , we don ’ t . We wish we had one . That ’ s the only thing we wanted , but don ’ t have . The area is very nice and the neighbours seem friendly . +You ’ re right on the edge of the city , aren ’ t you ? There can ’ t be much noise or traffic there . Is it easy to get into city centre ? +It ’ s a very quiet neighbourhood . There ’ s some traffic , but not much . It ’ s not very difficult to get to the city centre , but you must remember to turn left and right at the right places or you ’ ll get lost . So when are you going to drop by ? +Come on , darling . We haven't got much time . +All right . I'm nearly ready . What time does the bus leave ? +Half past six ... and it's half past six already . +Oh , we've got plenty of time . +We haven't . Hurry up ! +All right . Let's go . +And about time too ! +I'd like to remit 5000 dollars to my friend . +Please show me your ID card and tell me the receiver's address . +Room 20 , Suzie Building , Beijing Road , Shenzhen , China . +Ok , that's all . +Would it be all right if I went home next weekend ? +For What ? +Well , I want to surprise my brother showing up for his birthday . +Well , that sounds like it would be OK . Just be careful . +Which kinds of meat are most popular in your country ? +We eat a lot of chicken , pork and beef . You eat those meat a lot in your country too , don ’ t you ? +Yes , we do . We also eat a lot of lamb . +yes . I ’ Ve heard that people in your country like to eat lamb chops . +That ’ s right . They tastes so good ! We eat them with mint sauce . Have you every tried them ? +Yes , I have . I tried them when I visited your country last year . I thought they were very tasty . Can you cook them ? +I certainly can . If I can get some from the butcher ’ s , I ’ ll cook them for you . +That sounds great . I'll bring a bottle of wine . +Do you have any idea what time it is ? +My bad . I didn't realize that it was so late . +Do you really think that that excuses your tardiness ? +Of course not . I really did lose track of time . +Didn't I tell you to call when you're running late ? +Yeah , you did . I just forgot to call . +It doesn't matter , you should have called and let me know . +That's true . My bad for not calling . +If you do this again , don't even bother coming home . +You're going to kick me out over this ? +Exactly , maybe that'll teach you to respect my rules . +Well , if I'm not living here anymore , then I won't have to listen to your rules . +And so , that concludes my outline for our marketing strategy next year . Thank you very much for your time . +Hey , that was quite the presentation ! Honestly , I was completely blown away by your strategy outline . I've gotta say , Alex , you really wowed me today . +Aw , come on ; it was nothing . I'm just doing my job . +No , I think you deserve some recognition here ; I mean , if I look back on your previous presentations , this is a huge improvement . +Well , Kristin did give me a hand with the slides.She ' s a real wiz on PowerPoint . +And I saw that you took on board my feedback about pricing strategies . I really appreciate you taking the time to think though my suggestions . +Yeah , well , that was some good advice . You made some really good points . +Well , I just wanted to say well done . Really you did a great job . +As you know I ’ Ve been thinking about moving my career in a new direction . I am hoping that you will be able to provide me with a reference to help me jump-start my future . +I realize that I ’ m not in a position to offer you the kind of promotion you deserve I'll gladly do what I can to help . +Thank you . I ’ Ve really enjoyed my time here . I've grown both personally and professionally with this company . +And , as well as being a pleasure to work with , you ’ Ve been instrumental in helping us complete many key projects . +It will be hard to say good-bye . This office has become like a second home to me . +My feelings are mixed on the issue too . By helping you I ’ m losing a valuable and trusted employee . However I think you are taking a step in the right direction . +Well , Peter , you have to do better than that next time , won ’ t you ? +Have I really got to do those exams again , Dad ? +Of course , you have . You must try harder this time . +And must I go back to school ? +No , you needn ’ t do that . You ’ d better get a part-time job somewhere and go to evening classes . +But Dad , I should be working full-time at my age . I ’ m nearly 17 . +You ought to have worked harder then you wouldn ’ t have failed your exams . You have to take a job and study . +What else I ’ Ve got to do ? Join the army ? +Who knows ! That might come to later . +How do you use an ATM card , billy ? +It's easy grandpa . Insert you card into the machine here . Then wait a moment . Ok . Now you enter your PIN . It should have four numbers . +Oh yes . I've got it written down here . Just a minute . +You really shouldn ’ t write it down . You should memorize it . You can change it to a more convenient number if you like . +Ok , I've entered my PIN . There are several options on the screen . I guess I just choose which service I want , don't I ? +Yes . Choose the service you need to use . If you choose to withdraw money , the machine will ask you how much you want . +I can just enter the amount using the keys , right ? +That's right . Give the machine a moment to process you request . Then take your money . +These machines aren't very difficult to use . In fact , I quite like them . They are much faster than dealing with a band clerk . +How can I lose weight , doctor ? I seem to get fatter even when I just look at food ? +Well , Jim . It is a combination of how much you eat , the type of food you eat , and when you eat your meals . +I never eat breakfast though . +That's a big mistake , you should always have a good breakfast . You will not run your car without fuel , and yet you expect your body to work without food . +I never thought about it that way . +I bet you eat a large evening meal , then sit and watch TV or read a book . Then instead of burning off your energy , your body stores it as fat . +Oh doctor , I feel so foolish . +Way to control is really using common sense when you plan your eating habits . +I know doctor , thank you so much . +Hello , this is Francis . +Hi , this is Monica .

I am currently studying Finance at a training school . +English and computer skills are comparatively important to this post , especially in the starting period . Wharfs your ability in these two fields ? +I passed college English Test Band - 4 , with good skill in listening , speaking , reading and writing . I haven't got any certificate of computer skills , because I don ’ t think certificates are necessary if what's needed is merely operating a computer . I think , to know how to use a computer is more important . And I'm quite familiar with Microsoft Office +Excuse me , what's the price of a single room ? +That's $ 50 for a single night . +Are meals included ? +Yes , of course .

I don ’ t know , probably because I like sharing my experience and knowledge with them . I think this kind of communication helps to improve our work efficiency and also helps to get along with colleagues . +Sharing knowledge can be very settled and some second stances . People may think you are telling them how to do their work . If they take it personally , they feel angry at you and even become reluctant to support you at work . +That is true . Some people will misunderstand your intention and lets you do it in the long threatening way . For example , it is not sensible at all to arguing with the others or correcting someone in front of other people .

Although your first raise might not sound considerable , the company believes that with your ability , sooner or later you'll get a better raise . +Thank you very much . Mr . George . As a newcomer , I understand that you have your consideration and I am satisfied with the raise . +I think you deserved this . +Thank you again . I'll keep doing my best . +Albert and I need a lot of things to furnish our house.But I don't know where the best place to shop is . Can you give me some advice ? +Sure , Carolyn .

You know we will only be in America for about a year . +Then I suggest you go to K-Mart or Wal-Mart . +What are those stores ? +They are very large , discount department stores.That means their prices are very good.And you can find everything you need for the kitchen or bathroom . +Even silverware ? +Yes , everything.They don't have the most expensive brands , but their quality is usually decent.The main thing is , they have good prices , and they are very convenient . +I have a friend that said something about a place called Price Club.Do you know about that ? +I have never shopped there , but I think Price Club is a kind of membership store . +What does that mean ? +That means you have to pay a membership fee to shop there . I have heard they have very good prices on electronics . +Electronics ? +Yes . Like stereos and televisions . +How much is the membership fee ? +I'm not sure.But if you are only going to stay a year , I don't think Price Club is good to join.They have great deals occasionally.They are very good for people who like to buy new things all +I see . Thanks for these tips . We really need to buy a lot of little things . +I know how it is . Moving is very troublesome . +it ’ s such a nice day outside . Let ’ s take a walk into town and do some window-shopping . +you know I hate shopping more than anything else in this world . +I know . But we could get some exercise in , and we could get some errands run , too . Window-shopping won ’ t cost you anything . +what kind of errands do we need to run ? +well , we could go to the newsagent ’ s to pick up the Sunday paper , go to the butcher ’ s to pick up a chicken for a roast dinner , and to the chemist ’ s to pick up your prescription from the doctor . +I ’ ll only go if we can stop at the office-license to pick up something to drink for tonight . +fine , we ’ ll do that on the way home , so we don ’ t have to carry it the whole time . +sounds good . You have to promise not go into any of the stores in the mall though . I know how you like to try things on in the fitting rooms , especially if the stores have special offers . +I promise . We ’ re only going for a walk to get some exercise and to get some things done that we haven ’ t had time for . +ok , let ’ s go then ! +do you have any money ? +for what ? +for our errands , and maybe a little extra for something from a vendor on the street . +you said you were only going to window shop ! +I agreed to not go into the mall , but I can still look at things in the market ! +I should have known ... +Is there a daily passenger ship to Dalian ? +Yes . +How many days does it take to Dalian ? +About one day .

My friend Mindy's dog just had puppies and she said I can have one . +You know who will be responsible for feeding and cleaning and all of that stuff ? +I know , I know . I will do it all by myself . +Have you figured out the costs involved with feeding and caring for it ? +Yes . It will cost me about $ 50 a month . And I make a little more than that already . +Sounds like you've done your homework . I think you're ready for this . +This place is great . I'm surprised there are so many things here . +Yes , but it takes a while to find things . It's not organized as carefully as a regular store . +What's the difference between an outlet and a regular store ? +Usually a clothes company will send their overstock to an outlet . The prices are very low . But you may find faulty products here too . +Faulty products ? +Yes . Sometimes the fault is very small ; if you have a needle and thread , you can fix it yourself . So it's a good deal to buy it . +Oh , that's easy for me . I think it's really a good deal . +Yes . You can save a lot of money in this way . +That's great for me . Look , children's clothes ! I'd like to buy some winter clothes for my son and daughter . +Why not buy the sweater ? It only costs 30 Yuan . +Yes , I'll take it . Are there any jeans ? Xiaohui's jeans are always dirty .

However , I believe planning and probable management of my time can reduce tight deadlines . +Are you more a follower or a leader ? +I don ’ t try to go ahead of people and lead them , I ’ d rather cooperate with everybody else and get the job done by working together . +Ouch , it ’ s unbearable . +Please keep calm . I know the pain isn ’ t what flesh and blood can stand . But be brave . +All right , doctor . But it really hurts . +Have you obtained any certificate of technical qualifications or license ? +Yes , I have received an Engineers Qualification Certificate and a drivers license . +How many years have you had the drivers license ? +I have two years driving experience . +That ’ s good . What special skills do you have , can you tell me ? +I have experience in computer operation , proficiency in Microsoft Windows , Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel . +What computer languages have you learned ? +Visual C + + , C and Delphi . +Have you gotten any special training in programming ? +No , but I have database programming experience and network knowledge . +Hi , how are you doing ? +I'm fine .

I'm in school right now . +What school do you go to ? +I go to PCC . +Do you like it there ? +It's okay . It's a really big campus . +Good luck with school . +Thank you very much . +How many languages can you speak ? +Besides Chinese , I can speak English and French . +You mean you can read and write both of them ? +No , I can only carry on a simple conversation in French . +Can you read and write English well ? +I can speak the language better than I read and write . +Do you speak the language well enough to communicate with people of English-speaking countries ? +I think so . I used to be an interpreter . +Do you think your English is good enough to do desk work ? +The amount of English I know enables me to do general desk work . I believe what I know is sufficient to work in an American firm . +So , Lauren , I just wanted to talk to you quickly about our new customer support representative , Jason Huntley . +Sure , what ’ s up ? +Basically , I ’ Ve got a few concerns about him , and the bottom line is , I don ’ t think he ’ s a good fit for our company . +Okay ... what makes you say that ?

I apologize . +Don't worry about that . +According to the records , your reservation is for a single room with shower and air conditioners for two nights . The room rate will be 110 dollars per night , including 10 % tax and 4 % service charge . Is this right ? +Yes , that's right .

Everyone else's parents let them stay out until two or three in the morning . +Well . I'm not everyone else's father . I think you need to be in the house by ten o'clock . +That's absurd . +I know some junior high kids who can stay out later than that . +I'll be worried if you stay out late . +Okay , how about a midnight curfew ? And I'll let you know where I am . +Darling , can't you stay for a few more days ? +I can't . I've got to attend a meeting in London . +I'm really going to miss you.Take care of yourself . +I will . +Excuse me . Do you happen to have a gym here ? +Yes , sir . I think you'll find our gym quite satisfactory . +So , where do I go to exercise ? +It's only one flight down , sir . Just take the elevator or the stairs . +Am I going to be charged extra for using the gym ? +Sir , you can use the gym for free . All you need is your room key . +Great ! Now tell me , what are the hours of this gym ? +Sir , our gym is open around the clock , every day of the week . +Okay . Do you have a trainer to help me work out ? +I'm sorry , sir , but we have no trainer . +Ten sheets of rice paper , 25 brushes , two boxes of oil color and two boxes of water color . All these come up to $ 35.50 , sir . +Ok , here is $ 50 . Oh , can you make out an invoice for me ? +Sure , just a minute . Are you an artist , sir ? +No , I am a teacher . I teach art . +That must be a very interesting job . +It is . You must be new here . I do my shopping here regularly , once a week . +Do you ? Nice to meet you ! And here is the invoice and your change . +Thank you . Nice to meet you , too . +Excuse me . Is this the right way to the museum ? +I'm afraid you're going in the opposite direction .

The robber took $ 550 . +Oh , no ! Did you call the police ? +No . +Why not ? +My English isn't very good . I didn't know what to say to them . +I'm going to give you some advice , Jone.If this happens again , you should call the police immediately . You should try to remember everything . You should explain everything to the police . +This is our main service area . We do all the routine services here and have two full-time mechanics . +How often do you service the vans ? +They're serviced regularly . We give them a basic service every 10,000 km or so and a main service once a year , or every 100,000 km . +I see . What does the service involve ? +Well , the same as for private vehicles really , but we do it more often because they get a lot of wear and tear . +Can you carry out major repairs here ? +Yes , we've got all the necessary equipment . We can give the engines a major overhaul . If there's a serious problem , we strip down the engine and find the faulty component . Would you like to look around ? +Do you know which stop we get off at ? +We still have more to go , I think . +We've been on this bus for a while now . +You're right . +Should we have gotten off the bus already ? +I don't think so . +I thought you knew . +Maybe we did miss our stop . +Really ? +I'm positive that we missed our stop . +I'm never catching the bus with you again . +My mistake . +Well , Peter , you have to do better than that next time , won't you ? +Have I really got to do those exams again , Dad ? +Of course , you have . You must try harder this time . +And must I go back to school ? +No , you needn't do that . You'd better get a part-time job somewhere and go to evening classes . +But Dad , I should be working full-time at my age . I'm nearly 17 . +You ought to have worked harder then you wouldn't have failed your exams . You have to take a job and study . +What else I've got to do ? Join the army ? +Who knows ! That might come to later . +Could I order dinner ? +Of course . What would you like ? +I want a bottle of champagne , lobster tail , and filet mignon , medium rare . +I'm so sorry . We ran out of filet mignon . May I suggest the porterhouse instead ? +That's too bad , but the porterhouse will be okay . +May I be so bold as to suggest chocolate-covered strawberries with the champagne ? +Not tonight , thank you . +No strawberries . We'll charge your amenities account , if that's okay . +Charge it to whatever account you like . +Your meal will be delivered as soon as it's all ready . Enjoy ! +So what did you get ? +It's all in the bag . +What's this ? Essential oil ? Wow ! This stuff is expensive . +I need that to relax . I'm going to put a few drops in my bath water . +How is oil supposed to make you relax ? +They all have essence of flowers in them . +Mmmm . They smell nice . +I was wondering if this is where the Resume Writing Workshop is being held . +You are in the right place . Please come on in ! +It ’ s been a long time since I ’ Ve had to look for work and put a resume together . +It ’ s going to come together just fine . Trust me ! +Where do we begin ? +We start at the top with our name and contact information . Make sure the information is current . +Then what do we do ? +Put your job experience first , if that is more impressive than your education . +What about listing my interests and affiliations next ? +Yes , that would make a good ending for your resume . +What ’ s the matter , dear ? +Something awful happened . We went to the Portobello Road , and someone stole my handbag . +Oh , dear . Did you lose a lot of money ? +No . Only a few pounds . But my passport was in the bag . That ’ what I ’ m really worry about . +You must tell the embassy about it . And I think they ’ ll issue you with a new one . +I ’ d better go tomorrow . +No . But you mustn ’ t leave it too long . Did you report it the police ? +No . I couldn ’ t find a policeman . +Well . You must report that it ’ s been stolen . And give the police description of your bag . You ’ d better go to the local police station tomorrow morning . +Yes . I ’ ll do it tomorrow . +And Lisa . +Yes ? +Don't be too upset . It ’ s not the end of the world . +Hello ! Do you have a place where I can exercise ? +Yes , sir . We have a fine exercise facility . +I'm happy to hear that . Now , would you tell me where it is ? +You're actually standing above it . Just take the elevator or stairs down one level . +Is the hotel going to charge me a dollar a minute for gym use ? +No , sir . There's no extra charge . All you need is your room key to open the door . +And the gym hours are ? +Sir , you'll be pleased to know that our gym never closes . +One more question , Do you have a trainer ? +We might be getting one in the near future . But at the present time , no . +Daddy , how are you going to spend your weekends ? +I need to finish my research paper . +Could you go with me to climb Kiang Shan ? +Honey , I am sorry I have no time . +Oh , Daddy , you should do more exercise . You are getting a little heavy . +I am afraid you are right . Recently , even going upstairs makes me out of breath . +Then go climbing with me , Daddy . Mountain climbing can build your muscles like Popeyes . +Terrific ! It is also a good exercise to keep me fit . +I give you my word , you must feel refreshed after mountain climbing . +OK , I'll go . +That's a deal . +Sure . +I think we should home school our children when we decide to have kids . +What ? Why ? +Well , our public schools here are not very good and private school are just too expensive . I have been reading up on home schooling and it has a lot of advantages . +Like what ? I think that by doing something like that we would be isolating our children from social interaction . +Well , first of all , I would be able to teach them everything they learn in school in a more relaxed and fun way . I also think that having a one-on-one class is much better since you can focus more on his or her strengths or weaknesses . +I think neither your parents or mine would agree to such an idea . +I will bring it up over Sunday brunch . +Good luck with that ! +Hey , you have been promoted to president of the department . +All this is thanks to the efforts of my superiors and colleagues . +You are so smart . Your efforts in the success of the plan were outstanding . +I just did what I should have done . +You ’ Ve got a great personality . +Thank you for your compliments . I will try even harder to repay the company and your support . +I believe you will . I ’ m very pleased with your work . Your promotion will contribute to the development of the company . +Thanks for saying so . +May I speak to Mr . Smith ? +He is at the warehouse this morning . +What time do you expect him back ? +Sorry , I have no idea . You can call him there if you like . +Ok , I have the number . Bye ! +Tom , you promised to cut the lung . You won't forget , will you ? +No , I assure you . +And you'll repair the television , won't you ? +Ok . +Do you promise ? +Of course . +And Tom , you will help Johnny with his homework , won't you ? +I'll see . I will if I can but I won't promise . +But you'll promise not to be late for dinner tonight , won't you ? +Yes . But only if you ask me nicely . +Tom , darling . You'll try not to be late for dinner tonight , won't you ? Please ! +Ok . I'll keep my promise . +Hi , buddy ! How do you deal with your salary ? +I usually put them into my bank account . I think that is a little secure , though the interest rate is low now . +Look ! This stock is rising now . I am researching it , and planning to buy some shares . +Have you invested in the stock market before ? +No . This is my first time to buy some . You can see that its historical price data is rising now . +But that is a little risky , you know . +Hey ! Do you still remember our teacher of economics , Mr . Locker ? +Of course ! I remember he has a part-time job as a stock analyst . +I can ask for some advice from him . +Hello , Helen . +Hi , Steven . +How are you today ? +I ’ m very well , Thank you . And you ? +I ’ m fine , thanks . How is Tony ? +He ’ s fine , Thanks . How ’ s Emma ? +She ’ s very well , too , Helen . Goodbye , Helen . Nice to see you . +Nice to see you , too , Steven . Goodbye . +Julia , Julia , Julia . My daring Julia , what's wrong with you ? +Steven , are you talking to me ? +Yes , I have called you three times . What makes you in a daze ? +I was thinking about the accident I saw in the morning . I was petrified when two cars collided . I witnessed the traffic accident . +Did someone get hurt ? +A driver died instantly . The other one was badly hurt . A poor boy called Peter was killed in the accident too . +What a terrible accident ! Who should be responsible for this traffic accident ? +I think both . They drove too fast . What's worse , one of them was drunk . +Why do some guys like to drive so fast when they are drunk ? +I don ’ t understand . Maybe they feel they are okay and driving fast seems very cool . +Good morning ! My name is John White , import manager of the Garden Trading Company of New York . +Oh , how do you to Mr . White ? My name is Li Ming , here is my card . +Nice to meet you Mr.Li . We have learned about that you specialize in the export business of electronic products . As you enjoy the highest reputation in the commercial circle , we'd be please to enter into business relations with your firm . +We share the same desire .

Can you help me ? +No problem , of course ! How much would you like to spend to impress the lady ? +Nothing but the best for a pretty woman ! +Sir , the restaurant you seek is right here . This hotel has a three-star restaurant . +Well , I sort of suggested that we would go out on the town . Do you have another suggestion ? +Gramercy Tavern is at least as good as our own hotel restaurant . Plus , they have live jazz . +Gramercy Tavern , eh ? I think I've heard of that before . Call to get us a table , okay ? +Right away , sir . She will be impressed with your local knowledge . +I'd like to reserve a room . +Which date would that be ? +For the night of April 18th , for one night . +I'm afraid our hotel is fully booked on that night . Is it possible for you to change your reservation date ? +No , I'm afraid not . +We might have cancellations . Could you call us again some other day ? +Sure , but if you do have any cancellations , could you let me know as soon as possible ? +I'm very sorry , sir , but we are unable to do that . We would appreciate it very much if you could call us instead . +OK , thanks . +Good morning , Mr . Smith .

What size do you want ? +Size one . By the way , what if I bring home this sweater and my wife doesn ’ t like it ? +Well , you can always bring it back to us for a full refund . +All right .

I'm afraid there's nobody there right now . Could I take a message ? +Yes , please . My name's Michael Caxton from one of your customers — Rosedale Investments . +Sorry , just a moment . The name is Caxton ... +No , it's Caxton . +Fine , I've got that . And your company is ... +Rosedale Investments . +Could you spell that , please ? +It's R , O , S , E , D , A , L , E . +Thank you . And the message ? +It's about an invoice which is wrong . +Have you got the number there ? +Um ... yes ... it's 856674 / ros . +856674 . +That's right . +OK , I'll get someone to phone you first thing in the morning . +Thank you very much . +This blouse is a special offer today . You can have it at 10 % off the regular price . +It's nice , but still too expensive . Can you give me a 20 % discount ? +No . 10 % is my last word . +Come on . Let's split the difference , 15 % . +Who's in charge of the construction project ? +We've taken on a civil engineer on a nine-month temporary contract . He'll oversee the whole project . In fact we're having a project meeting at 3 p . m this afternoon allocate responsibilities and finalise the time schedule . Why don't you join us ? +I can ’ t I'm afraid .

How much would you like to spend on your meal ? +My date is quite sophisticated . She would expect nothing less than the best . +Well , how about our own hotel restaurant ? It's conveniently located and has a three-star rating . +That's a good idea , except I want to go out , not stay in . Something else , maybe ? +Well , how about Gramercy Tavern ? It's a very popular tourist spot , with great food and music . +That sounds good ! Could you call them to see if I can get a reservation ? +Of course , sir . You've made a good choice . +I'll talk to you later . +What's the rush ? +I have to get off the phone now . +I'm not ready to get off the phone with you . +There are other things I need to take care of . +What is it that you need to do ? +Please don't be nosey . +I'm not being nosey , it's just a question . +You don't need to worry about that . +That was mean to say . +I am very sorry , but I must go . +I guess . +Lucy , I ’ d like to fix the light in the corridor , it keeps flashing , which drives me crazy . Would you like to help me with the ladder ? +Monica , wait a moment . I think we ’ d better call the repairman to do it . +I think I can handle it by myself . +I ’ d like you to have a look at the safety manual of our company . +I see . If I got hurt when fixing the light , even during office hours , I wouldn ’ t get compensation from our company since repairing is not my responsibility . +Other company rules also need your attention . +Like this one ? +Never wear loose clothes or hair when operating the shredder . +Yeah , thank you for telling me . +Don ’ t mention it . +Will you be checking in any baggage today ? +Yes , I have two large suitcases and one box . +If you need baggage tags , they are found in the box on your right . +No , thank you.They are already tagged with my name and address . +You are allowed an additional two carry-on items . +Good , I have my backpack and my camera tripod . +I see . All carry-on items must be able to fit under the seat or in the overhead bin . +Both my items will fit under the seat or in the overhead bin . +You will need to send the tripod as luggage because it is too long to fit in our gauge box for carry-on items . +I cannot let anything happen to that tripod.Can you guarantee it will not be damaged if I check it in ? +No , I can't . Perhaps your stewardess will help you to find a place to store it . +Good idea . I will ask the stewardess to help me store my tripod . +I'm afraid I have lost my air ticket while I was shopping . +I'm sorry to hear that.Did you check your shoulder bag carefully ? +Yes , I checked again and again , but I can't find it . By the day after tomorrow , can I have the ticket reissued ? +I'm afraid you can't . +I talked with the manager over the phone and he told me I can have it reissued because I have a copy of my lost ticket . +Oh , I see . I'll call the manager , then . +I can't finish this steak . +That's all right . +Look , the printer isn ’ t functioning well . I ’ Ve pushed the start button . It is suppose to be working now but it remains like a log . What ’ s going on ? +Let me check . It has a paper jam . +I didn ’ t pay attention to that . I will try to get the paper out . +Be careful , the cartridge can be very hot . +Good morning , sir . Do you have a reservation ? +Yes . My name is Charles . +I see . We have a window table reserved for you . +It's very kind of you . +Would you like to order now or wait for a while ? +Bring me the menu , please . +Can you help me pick out a gift for my daughter ? +She might like a laptop computer . +Yes , that sounds like a good idea . +Might I suggest a Mac ? +Okay . How much ? +Well , a 15 - inch Pro is $ 2,100 . +Oh , that sounds great . I'll take it . +Great . How would you like to pay for it ? +Here's my VISA . +Let me ring you up . Okay , sign here , please . +Everything I need is in this box ? +It'll take her only a few minutes to get online . +Thank you for your help . +So long . Thank you for shopping here . +Excuse me , are cameras allowed here ? +Sorry , sir , in order to protect these paintings , taking photos are strictly forbidden here . +I see . What a pity . I have to appreciate it carefully . +I am really sorry for that . +Hi , John Phillips ? I ’ m Rose Green . I ’ Ve been asked to handle your training and introduce a little bit of the company to you . It ’ s nice to meet you . +It ’ s nice to meet you , too , Ms . Green . This company seems so big right now ; I don ’ t know how I ’ ll ever get used to it . +After a week , you ’ ll be running around here like a pro . Let me give you this list of departments first , next to each department is its location and the name of the manager . +Great – That ’ ll be big help . +Have you bought a lot of new clothes for your vacation ? +No , I haven't . I've decided I ' m going to travel very light this time . +What does travel light mean ? +Oh ! It means that I'm going to take only a few clothes , so I didn't have to carry a heavy suitcase . +I'm afraid we can't increase salary this year , money is just too tight . +I'm not sure . I can't agree , dan . +Why not ? +Surely , there are other ways to save money . +What are you talking about , we've tried everything ! +Is there anything I can do ? +Yes . I am thinking of a tour to Australia . +May I recommend the popular route ? It's a seven days ' trip and cost $ 500 . +That's really cheap . What are the fees included ? +Everything , sir , including the air tickets , accommodation and gate tickets . +OK , I will take the tour . +Could I speak to the apartment manager ? +I am the apartment manager . How can I help you ? +I wanted to know if that apartment on Main Street is still for rent . +I haven't rented it out yet . Would you like to see it ? +Yes , I want to see it . +How about today at 6 p . m . ? +That time is okay with me . +Very good . We'll meet at 6 . Do you need directions ? +No , thank you . I go by there on my way to work . +If you're interested , you can fill out an application form . +That's a good idea . Do I need to bring anything myself ? +No . The only thing I need to see is your driver's license . +I don ’ t know what I ’ m going to do ! It ’ s going to be impossible to make ends meet if I lose my job ! +don ’ t worry . I don't think you ’ re going to lose your job over one mistake . +it was a rather big mistake . When you work as an investment adviser , ONC small mistake can cost the company millions . +but it wasn ’ t just you who was involved , right ? You were only doing what your supervisor told you to do . +that ’ s true , but my supervisor is very dishonest . There ’ s no reason he needs to tell our boss the truth . I ’ m sure he will tell our boss that it was all my fault , and there ’ s nothing I can do about tha +let ’ s think realistically about what might happen . How much money do you have in your savings ? +I have enough to live off of for about 3 months . But I really don't want to spend my life savings on just living ! I ’ d rather invest my money somehow . +well , that ’ s good . If you lose your job , you can just move in with me until you find another job . That will save you plenty of money . +that ’ s very generous of you . I guess that would work . +if you lose your job , you just have to go for a few months without buying all the junk you usually buy . If you live frugally , you ’ ll save plenty of money . +I guess working with so much money has made me rather greedy . Maybe losing my job would be a good thing ! +Yo baby , are you satisfied with the costume show in the street ? +It ’ s hard to say.Just so-so . +Let's start to study how to use computers , Paubler.It ' s good to know that a computer has two major parts , the hardware and the software . +What's the hardware ? +The hardware of computer is basically all the concrete things you can touch with your hands and see with your eyes . +That's seems obvious enough.then what about the software ? +The software of computer is all the programmes inside the computer that allow you to use the computer to do things . +I see , actually the hardware is the easy part , I do want to study how to use the software . +Right you are , Paler , and since what you want to learn is how to use software , we should also learn to refer to the computer menus . +Ever since I saw computer can do your project , I wanted to have a computer . +Hello . +Hi , Lucy , are you free to talk ? +Not really , I ’ m in a meeting . Can I call you back in ... say ... 15 minutes ? +Sure , speak to you later . It isn ’ t urgent . Maybe it is easier if I send you an e-mail . +Ok , I ’ ll look out for it . Sorry , I can ’ t talk now . +Hello , this is Li King . Can I talk to your manager ? +Sorry , he has just gone out now . Can I take a message for you ? +Yes .

We need your banking details and some ID . A passport or something like that ? +I have my passport right here , and here are the account details . The name , number ... +Mr Jurgen , yes , the remittance has been successful . +That was quick ! I didn't expect it to come through so quickly . Yes , that is good news . The full amount should be 20,000 Euros , is that right ? I'd like to withdraw 5,000 Euros worth of local currency , if that's possible . +Not a problem , Sir . Please fill in this exchange form and show me your passport . +Get up , it's time for you to get ready . +Let me just get five more minutes of sleep . +I would , but you need to start getting ready for school . +I understand , but all I want is five more minutes of sleep . +If I let you go back to sleep , I know that you won't get up in five minutes . +Trust me . I'm going to wake up . +You have a lot to get done this morning . +I already know , and I'll take care of all that when I wake up . +I want you to be on time for school today . +I'll make it to school on time .

How much is the rent for this apartment ? +150 a month . +150 ? No , I'm not really interested in this place . It isn't big enough . It isn't near enough to my office . +My mascara's waterproof ! +Oh , how high class ! So you just wear it forever ? +No . There's makeup remover for waterproof mascara . +Is it dry yet ? +Yep . See how long and curly my lashes are ? +They look fake . +Thanks ! +Tom ? Oh , it's been a while since we've talked to each other . Nice to hear you again . +Same here . Hey , did you know Susan is going to get married . She invited me to her wedding and she wants you to attend also . +Really ? +Definitely . I'm calling to tell you this . +Why didn't she call me ? +She tried , but the line is always busy . +Well , I may have stayed on the phone too long . Can you give me her number ? I'll call her later . +Of course . It's 555-4653 . +Thanks . So how are things with you ? +Pretty good . I've just bought a new house . +Wow ! Great ! Where ? +In the suburb . How are you and Carol ?

Don't forget to call Susan . +Don't worry . Bye . +Are you okay ? +No . +What's wrong ? +I got robbed ! +By who ? +Some guy on the street just mugged me . +Are you hurt ? +No , he just stole all of my things . +That's crazy . +I need to go to the police station . +Do you want me to take you ? +That would be great . Thank you . +Repairman.May I come in ? +Come in please . +What's the matter , sir ? +The toilet doesn't flush . +Let me see.En .. it's right now.You can try it . +Wonderfull.Thanks a lot . +You are welcome . +Come in , young man . +( while shaking hands ) I am Zhang Wei , nice to meet you , sir . +I am Smith , the personnel director . Please have a seat , son . +Thank you . Have you received my resume ? +Actually , I haven ’ t had time to look it over . Did you bring another copy with you ? +Of course , here you are , sir . +Call me Mr . Smith . +Certainly , it would be my pleasure , Mr . Smith . +Mom ! How can I help with the washing up ? +You peel the onions and wash them , then chop them . +OK ! Then what can I do after I finish it ? +Let me see . Wash the cabbage over there . +OK , got it . +What is your father doing now ? +Reading newspaper on the couch . +How about Daniel ? +Staying with Ultraman , of course . You know he likes it very much . +Be careful of the peeler . Don't cut your fingers . +I will . +OK , we've finished . Can you get your father and brother ? +OK ! +How do you like your work ? +The work is rather hard , but it's interesting . +What do you do ? +I work in a publishing house . How about you ? +Mine isn't hard , but it's not interesting . +What do you do then ? +I'm a clerk in a shop . +Hi . I can't get going on my computer until I get a broadband hookup . +Just plug the Ethernet cable into your computer , and you'll be off and running . +That would be okay if I had an Ethernet port . Unfortunately , my laptop uses wireless only . +In that case , let me tell you about some alternatives . +Anything to get me up and running . +For starters , we have a computer lab . +Fantastic ! What do I have to pay per hour ? +The lab is completely free . But you do have to pay a dime a page for printing . +That's fine . Now tell me about the other alternatives . +Just bring your laptop down here to the lobby . We're set up for wireless right here . +Great ! I like that suggestion , but what if I need to print something there ? +Unfortunately , you'll have to go to the computer lab for your printing needs . +I'm not sure , is this our stop ? +Yeah , get off the bus . +Do you have any idea where we are ? +I'm really not sure . +This can't be the right stop . +I don't think this is right . +We got off too early , didn't we ? +Yeah , we did get off too early . +I should've just stayed on the bus . +I messed up . +Great , we have to walk now . +You want to wait for the next bus ? +Is this the Friendship Hospital ? Please send an ambulance to 68 Hu Nan Road . +Is it urgent ? Our ambulances are not enough to meet every call . +Of course . It's urgent . I think the partie nt is suffering from acute appendicitis . He may die if not treated in time . +All right , we'll come right away . +( after a while ... ) Where's the patient ? +He's there in the room . He's very ill . +Don't worry .

All the back of that size are sold out . Would you like a red one ? +ok , let me try it on . what do you think ? +oh , that suits you very well .

Who much would that come to ? +let me see ... +Are you interested in going sightseeing , Mr . Simpson ? I think you are here not only for the negotiation but also for sightseeing . +I heard that there are some beauty spots and places of historical interest in this city . +Shall we go to the Tiananmen Square first ? +That's great . I trouble you so much . Thank you very much . +It's my pleasure . Shall we go there on foot ? It's very near . +OK , let ’ s go . +Welcome back racing fans ! My name is Rick Fields and , as always , I am joined by my partner in crime , Bob Copeland . +We ’ re in the last stretch of this very exciting race , and Kimmi Rikknen is leading the pack with only four laps to go ! They are heading to turn three and Lewis Hamilton tries to pass Rikknen ! It ’ s a close one and , oh no ! Hamilton hits the wall ! +He came in too fast , jammed on the breaks and spun out . We have a yellow flag and the pace car is making its way onto the track . +The cleanup crew is towing the heavily damaged car and the green flag drops ! Rikknen is still in the lead with only two laps to go ! +Smoke is coming out of his car ! He seems to be having engine trouble ! He makes his way into the pit , and Fernando Alonso takes the lead ! +How unlucky for Rikknen , and this race is over ladies and gentlemen , Alonso takes the checkered flag ! +Hello , do you remember me ? I bought some vases from you yesterday . +eyes , you sent them to New York , right ? +That's right . I thought I'd come back to buy a few more souvenirs . +What did you have in mind ? +Well , first , I'd like to buy a few postcards . My sister used to always send a postcard to herself whenever she went anywhere . I want to do that , too . +We have plenty of postcards to choose from here . The same designs can be found on these posters . +Posters are difficult to travel with . I think I'll just buy the postcards . I heard that you might also have some of the masks that are made in Venice . +Yes , we do . They're on the wall behind you . +How much do they cost ? +The prices are clearly marked on the back of each mask . Would you like me to get one down for you to look at ? +Yes , I think I'd like the green mask in the middle . +Here you go . +I'll take it , I'd also like to buy some chocolate . +Are you looking for some homemade chocolate as a gift ? +Yes , it's my girlfriend's birthday today and she loves chocolate . +We've got plenty to choose from here . +They look delicious . I think she'll be pleased . +Good morning , Madam . Is everything OK ? Is there something I can assist you with ? +Thank you , yes . I'm not sure how to use this ATM , I usually go to a clerk and use my Bank Book . But today , I thought I'd try something new . I want to take some money out . +Welcome to the electronic age ! I can run you through it ; it's what I'm here for . +Thanks so much . Right , I've put my card in . What now ? +Just look at the screen here . It'll give you prompts , you see ?

The next thing is to select the service . +Here we are ' withdrawal ' , so I just press here ? +Yes , then enter the amount you want . +Oh , as simple as that ! I shall never wait for a real person again , these machines are wonderful . +The road ahead is blocked .

What do you get from your work ? +I have accumulated a wealth of practical experience in work as a chief advertisement designer . Moreover , I realized teamwork is the key to success . +Why do you think so ? +I think building team spirit among the coworkers is very important . I believe we can accomplish a miracle if we stick together . +Very good . Anything else ? +My advantage is that I have strong sense of responsibility . But I lack patience . +I must praise you for your modesty and diligence . What's your plan next ? +I will listen and learn more when I start my new job . I plan to become more professional in my field . +I've got to commend you ; you really did a good job . +Thanks for your compliment , but there is still plenty more to learn . +Good afternoon . May I help you ? +Yes , I'd like to rent a car . +What kind of car do you have in mind ? +An automatic sedan . +I see . How long will you need it ? +About a week . +Just a moment , please . +Hello , do you know anywhere that sells cheap cashmere sweaters ? +Outlets have cheap cashmere sweaters . +What a splendid idea ! +Outlets usually give you great deals . +Thanks for helping me . +You're welcome . +would you like to learn to tango Donar ? +right now ? +i am offering you my services . for your church . what do you say ? +i think i'll be a little afraid . +of what ? +afraid of making a mistake . +no mistakes in a tango Donar.not like life , simple , that will make the tango so great . if you make a mistake , you'll get all tango done . just tango along . why don't you try ? will you try it . +all right . i'll give it a try . +I hate working on Christmas Eve ! Whoa ! Get a load of this guy ! Come in central , I think we ’ Ve got ourselves a situation here . +License and registration please . Have you been drinking tonight , sir ? +I had one or two glasses of eggnog , but nothing else . +Step out of the vehicle , please . Sir , what do you have in the back ? +Just a few Christmas gifts , to this season , after all ! +Don ’ t take that tone with me . Do you have an invoice for these items ? +Umm ... no ... I make these in my workshop in the North Pole ! +You are under arrest , sir . You have the right to remain silent . You better not pout , you better not cry . Anything you say can and will be used against you . You have the right to an attorney , if you cannot afford one , the state will appoint one for you . +You can ’ t take me to jail ! What about my sleigh ? It ’ s Christmas Eve ! I have presents to deliver ! Rudolph ! Prancer ! Dancer ! Get help ! +What should I get Uncle Teddy ? +You could get him a tie . +Are you kidding ? That's the stupidest gift one can buy . I don't want to get a tie . +Why not ? +Everybody gets men ties for Christmas . It's too boring . Everybody buys either ties or sweaters . I want a more unique gift . +Well , you can buy him a pet iguana then . +That's a cool idea . At least it would be a surprise.But I'm afraid he wouldn't take care of it . +He would think you were crazy , Caroline . +Yes . An iguana is too strange for a gift , and a tie is too normal.So I have to find something halfway between . +How much do you want to spend ? +Well , he was very good to me.He helped me edit my essay for the scholarship contest.So I want to spend at least 75 dollars . +Alright , I have an idea.You know he carries that conservative-looking briefcase every day . +Yes . +Well , he isn't a lawyer , so I don't think he needs to have a briefcase like that . +What should he have then ? +I think he would appreciate having a very fine leather bag.But more like a workbag or shoulder bag.You know , not so hard and square like a briefcase . +I think that's a great idea . Men look great with that kind of bag.Where can we buy one ? +I don't think this mall has a leather goods store.So we have to go to State Street . +Alright . We can go later then . +We can buy something for Mom and Dad here , and then go buy Uncle Teddy's gift on State Street . +Good plan . What should we get for Mom though ? +She said she wants one of those automatic foot massagers . I think they sell them at Sears . +Alright . We can go check at Sears and see if they have them.And what about Dad ? +How about the iguana ? +I think it would be a great joke.But I know we'd have to take the iguana back . And the pet store might not let us.So why don't we get him something else ? Some clothes maybe . +A tie ? +Oh , shut up about ties ! Forget about ties , why not ? +I was just kidding . +The language used in this multinational company is mainly about English ; do you think you can manage to handle that ? +Yes . I am sure I can . I was an English major in college . +What about your second foreign language since you were an English major ? +Russian is my second foreign language and I excelled the rest of my class in Russian because my father is a Russian . +Anne , would you please come in for a while ? Please also bring along the minutes of yesterday's management meeting . +Of course , sir ... Here's the minutes of the meeting . +How long did the meeting last ? +The meeting was delayed by thirty minutes and it lasted for two and a half hours . +Did the chairman ask for me ? +Yes , I told him that you were very ill and couldn't attend . +All right . Have you handed in my report to him ? +Yes , I did . Besides , here are all the reports and materials handed out in the meeting . I think you'll have to do some replies . +Thank you , Anne . You've done an excellent job . Did they mention the date for the next meeting ? +No , they didn't . The chairman said he would send a memo to all managers by the end of this week informing them of the date of the next meeting . +Hello , I'm sorry for calling this late . May I speak to Peter ? +I'm sorry . He's not in right now . +When is he coming back ? +He should be back in ten minutes . Could 1 you call back later ? +I'll call again in thirty minutes . +What a mess , Jack ! +I ’ m playing with my toys , Dad . +You ’ d better tidy up the room now , or you ’ ll get your mum ’ s back up . +so , your friend ’ s getting married on Saturday . What have you bought her as a wedding gift . I find is so hard to choose the right gift . +my friend and her fiance had a really good idea . They have cut out pictures from catalogues and pasted them in a notebook . The picture are of things they want . People sign their name b +that ’ s clever ! Then everyone knows that they are buying something the couple really want and there ’ s no chance of two people buying the same gift . What things were in the notebook ? +most of the things were household appliance . You know , everything from an iron through a vacuum cleaner to a cooker . I think it ’ s an excellent way for everyone who knows the couple to help +so , what did you get them ? +I bought a sewing machine . I know that my friend likes making her own clothes , but her current sewing machine is quite old and has some problems . +what ’ s wrong with is ? +she says that after several years of use , it ’ s not working properly . When she uses it , it makes a funny noise . +household appliance don ’ t seem to last for a long time nowadays . +I think it ’ s because the manufactures are constantly bringing out new models . Because they know that we will buy the new models , the appliances don ’ t need to last more than five or ten year +Hello , are you interested in this Honda ? +Hi , I am just looking . +It's a good car . +What year is it ? +1999 . +How about the mileage ? +6,000 miles , all highway mileage . +What do you mean 7B +Highway miles are not as bad as local miles . They do not hurt car as much . +Oh , why such a high mileage ? +The owner was commuting everyday crossing the state line . +Okay . Does this car have a warranty ? +One month . +How do I make sure I am not buying a junk ? +You'll check it out anyway you want . You can take it to a garage . +How much is it ? +$ 5,900 . +I'll have to think about it . +Leave your phone number , and I will give you a call if the price gets reduced . +Okay . +It's very nice of you to invite me . +I'm very glad you could come , Mr . Liu . Will you take a seat at the head of the table ? It's an informal dinner , please don't stand on ceremony ... Mr . Liu , would you like to have some chicken ? +Thank you . This is my first time to come to a Chinese restaurant . Could you tell me the different features of Chinese food ? +Generally speaking , Cantonese food is a bit light ; Shanghai food is rather oily ; and Hunan dishes are very spicy , having a strong and hot taste . +Chinese dishes are exquisitely prepared , delicious , and very palatable . They are very good in colour , flavour , and taste . +Mr . Liu , would you care for another helping ? +No more , thank you . I'm quite full . +Did you enjoy the meal ? +It's the most delicious dinner I've had for a long time . It's such a rich dinner . +I'm so glad you like it . +Thank you very much for your hospitality . +The demographic reports are in ... From the looks of it , we're going to have to re-evaluate some of the content for our promotional events in different venues . +Why , what's the lowdown ? +According to the report , our Boston crowd is quite different make-up from our Chicago folks . Our Boston consumers are mostly from mid-level to upper-class income levels , university or postgraduates , married no children , white collar ... You know the kind . Chicago on the other hand is mostly mid to low income levels , single parent homes , blue collar ... I think we're talking about two totally different target groups . +I have no idea there was that great of deviation between the two venues ... To make our products sell , we have to take the target audience into account . +No kidding . We've got to come up with two completely different sales pitches to suit the needs of each groups . +Excuse me , could you lend me some of your records ? +Until when ? +Until Monday or Tuesday next week . +No problem . +May I help you ? +Yes , I'm going to Europe on business and I need to purchase some Traveller's Cheques . +That's no problem .

How much would you like to purchase ? +5,000 Euros will be sufficient , thanks . +Please fill in this form . How would you like it ? In 100 Euro cheques ? +That would be perfect , thank you . +Have you always been on this site ? +No , we used to be on an industrial estate on the outskirts of York . +Why did you move ? +We needed larger premises so we moved to this greenfield site last year . It's nearer the motorway so it's better for transportation . +I want to open an account . +What kind of account do you want to open ? +I want to open a checking account . +Do you know the minimum balance you ’ re required to keep ? +How much is that ? +You have to maintain a minimum balance of $ 100 . +Really ? +Yes , really . +What if I can ’ t meet that requirement ? +You will be fined . +How much is the fine ? +It ’ s going to cost you $ 25 . +I'm so hungry ! Can you buy me a burrito ? +I don't have any money to buy you a burrito . +Please ? I haven't eaten anything all day . +Look , I only have money to buy myself a burrito . +I'm so hungry , I could eat a whole cow ! +If you're so hungry , why don't you ask someone else for money ? +I get paid on Friday , I'll pay you back then . +Well , I guess on Friday , then you can eat . +That's pretty messed up . +Why don't you just go home and eat ? +I don't want to go all the way home just to eat . +Well , I guess you're out of luck . +Good coming . room service.What can I do for you ? +I'd like a hamburger and a cup of coffee.My room number is 402 . +OK.sir .

So I don't know what to order . +so how about an aperitif ? +it sounds good . I'd like to start with a Compare . +stirred or shaken ? +stirred will be fine . +here you are . +thanks . Does the bar have a signature drink ? +sure . All of our mixed drinks are excellent . You can also try a delicious non-alcoholic cocktail . +can you recommend one ? +try a Singer . It has lime juice and grenadine over ice . +it sounds interesting . I'll take one . +here we go . +it tastes great . +enjoy yourself . +yeah . +Kevin ? Hi , it ’ s Elizabeth . I have a big favor to ask you . +How big , Elizabeth ? Last time you said that , I ended up working overtime 3 nights in a row ! +Well , I ’ Ve got a huge load of typing and Mr . Blake has insisted I get it done by tomorrow afternoon . +All right , Elizabeth . But this is the last time . +I'm checking out now . Can I have my bill , please ? +Sure . What's your room number , sir ? +It's 8736 . Here is my key card . +A minute , please . It's 6212 yuan all together . Tax included . +Can I pay with traveler's check ? +Sure . Can I have your passport , please ? +Here you are . +Thanks . Are you satisfied with your stay here with us , sir ? +Very much . The room is cozy and the service is jolly good . By the way , could you deliver my luggage to the airport in advance ? +Sure . It will be taken care of , sir . Which flight do you take ? +Flight 17 . And my luggage should be delivered there by 4 o'clock . +Got it , sir . It'd be great to see you again , sir . +Thank you . +My computer isn ’ t running at the same speed it used to be , it is testing my patience everyday . Can you tell me how to make it run faster ? +If you want to speed up your system , you ’ Ve got to clean it up first . +How ? +You need to free your disk space . The simplest way is to use a Disk-Cleanup tool to remove temporary files and in store programs that you no longer use . Things should be fine next time you start . You also need to control what starts up . There is a program calls Start-up Delayer , It can help to set after how much time programs should be loaded after Windows boosts . For example , you can choose to set your Fox Mail program to load 30 seconds after Windows starts up . +Very useful advice , I will try them right now . +This suit looks nice.Can I try it on ? +Yes , of course.The dressing room is over there . +how was your day ? +let ’ s start with you . How was yours ? +it was really busy . I had to work straight through my lunch break . +did you get to leave early then ? +my boss told me that I could either go home early or take a long lunch break another day , so I decided to wait and take a long lunch break another time . +it was nice of your boss to give you an option . My boss would never do that . +let ’ s get back to you . How was your day ? +it was horrible ! It was just one thing after another . +you look pretty upset . Are you ok ? +I ’ m fine . But I have bad news . +what ’ s that ? +I got sacked today . +you ’ re kidding ! How did that happen ? +well , I was late to work today . It was the third time I was late this week . +how late were you ? +only about 5 minutes . +you got fired for being a few minutes late ? +my boss is really picky about that . He never arrives late , usually works over-time , and always gets his work done on time . +oh well . You never really liked your boss anyway , did you ? +I can see by your resume here that you studied business administration . +That's right . +So I wonder why you want to work for a newspaper . +I did reporting for the university newspaper in my school.And I always be very interested in journalism . +But journalism , it is a very different profession from administration.You know a lot about administration.Why don't you choose to work for a company looking for managers ? +I study the administration.Yes.But I'm more attracted to writing articles . I want to use my knowledge of business to write financial news . +A new reporter must expect to work many hours . +I know that starting reporters work many hours . I'm very willing to take on the challenge . +I have an issue . +What ’ s going on ? +There is a leaking pipe in my wall . +Is there any water damage ? +There is mildew . +I ’ ll go to your apartment tomorrow to fix the pipe . +Why can ’ t I call someone to fix it today ? +I ’ ll just do it myself . +I need it done today . +You ’ re right about that . +Are you okay with me calling a plumber ? +That ’ s fine . +I'll have to go now . +Drop in if you're free.Bye for now ! +See you . +Excuse me , I don't feel good right now . +What can I do for you ? +Do you have any pills for airsickness ? +Here you are . Take one at a time . +Please fetch me a glass of water . Thanks . +You are welcome . +What's wrong ? +I have a headache . These past few days I've been living off painkillers . Man , I feel like my head is going to explode . +You should get acupuncture treatment . My mom was always having headache issues and it was acupuncture that cured her . +The results are too slow . On top of that , just the thought of smoking needles poking into my flesh frightens me . +They don't just randomly stick you , they find your pressure points . The heat allows the body to immediately respond to the treatment , restoring the body's " chi " . +But I get scared the moment I see a needle . How could I stand having needles in my body for hours on end ? +The needles are very thin , and as long as the doctor's technique is good , and the patient himself is relaxed , it won't hurt-on the contrary it will actually alleviate pain . Now there are high-tech needles that are micro thin ; they don't hurt at all . However , if you are really scared of acupuncture , scraping or cupping are also options . +Scraping is too terrifying . When they finish scrapping , your body is all red , as if you were just tortured . Cupping is the same , your body ends up with red circles all over . It looks like someone beat you up . +This only signifies that the toxins have left the body . Actually , there is only discomfort during the treatment process . Once it's over you feel very comfortable . +Chinese medicine is strange . The patients are already ill , and then the doctor makes them suffer more . +This is the only way to get at the problem . Anyway , if you want to relieve the pain , you are just going to have to be tough and do it . +Forget it . I don't want to inflict any more pain on myself . In a little while I'll go and buy some more painkillers and take a nap . +I like this shirt.How much is it ? +$ 135 . +Wow , that's sheer robbery.Shall I make an offer ? +I'm sorry , sir.The price is fixed . +Good morning . Your ticket and passport , please ? +Here you are . +Do you have any baggage to check in ? +Yes , one box . +Would you please put it on the scale ? +OK . By the way , can you tell me how many kilos of free baggage each passenger is allowed ? +The baggage allowance is different according to the class of your ticket . What class are you travelling ? +First-class . +For a first-class passenger , the free baggage allowance is forty kilos . +How many pieces of baggage can I carry on to the plane ? +Passengers holding first class tickets may carry 2 pieces within the total weight of 5 kg onto the plane . +If my baggage exceeds the allowance , what should I do ? +If the checked baggage is over the allowance , we will charge you for the overweight . +I see . Thank you very much for your information . +You're welcome . Your boarding pass and baggage check , please . +Goodbye ! +Could you do me a favor ? +It depends . +Is that room service ? +Yes.What can I do for you ? +The maid has just delivered some laundry to my room.But it's not mine at all . +I am sorry.sir.We will send someone immediately . +Tell me something about yourself and your past . +I was born and grew up in hebes Province . I moved to Beijing , where I started taking courses for my MBA . When I completed my degree , I was offered an opportunity working for a financial services company . I've worked there for eight years . +What was the most significant project you've worked on ? +I was assigned a project to design a 360 - degree performance system . It was a challenge for a person with a finance background . I met with the technical people and discussed the possibilities and obstacles . Based on that information , I selected a team and created a spreadsheet to manage the project . We got the project done on schedule . I was rewarded for outstanding results and was able to share the honors with the team . +What finance experience makes you qualified for this position ? +For the past eight years , I have been working in the banking industry . I have a solid understanding of accounting concepts , an analytical mind and a strong attention to detail . I've had a lot of customer service training and experience , and I have been told that I excel in this area . +How would your coworkers evaluate you ? +They'd say I was a handworker and a real team player . +What are your salary expectations ? +I really need more information about the job before we start to discuss salary . I'd like to postpone that decision until later . +Sorry , I have to rush off and catch the 9 o'clock train to Paris . +Then you must hurry up.There ' s only ten minutes left . +Until we meet again . +What are you doing to your house ? +We're redecorating our living room . +What are you going to do to it ? +First , we're going to change the curtains , then we're going to paint the walls . +What colour are you going to paint them ? +Pale yellow . +What else are you going to do ? +We're going to put in some new furniture . +I'm calling to cancel a reservation I made earlier in the week . +To cancel your reservation , I need your name , phone number , and date of trip , please . +Rudy Randolph , 818-555-1234 . My reservation begins on the second Monday of April . +I see your reservation on my computer . Let me just cancel it , and you'll be all set ! +Thanks . I'll call again when things get better at home . +You're welcome . +Do you really like this straw hat , dear ? +Yes , of course . I'll take it . +But it costs an arm and leg . +I like it . +I am calling to tell you that you are hired by our company . +I really appreciate your offer , but I have to decline it , because I have already taken another job which I prefer to work in . +You are welcome , Please call me if you change your mind . +I will . Thank you . +Let's decide what to order . +I'll have a hamburger . +The works ? +No , just tomatoes , please . And large fries . +Anything to drink ? +A small cola . +I'll have a sandwich and small fries . Would you like to have some desserts ? +Apple pie is my favorite dessert . +I'd like to have an ice cream +Would you please teach me how to use the computer ? +Sure , let's take a look at the menu first . +Do I have to turn on the computer ? +yes , we can look at the computer and computer menu at the same time . And this will help us understand both better . +What should I learn first ? +Right now I'll teach you to open files , save files and copy files . Are you ready ? +I am ready I am going to get , let's start ! +This is where we sing ? These booths are so comfortable , I think I could fall asleep ! +Let's order something to eat . What are you in the mood for ? +I'll have whatever you're having . +OK . How about some fried spring rolls and squid balls , some pork skins , and some beer ! +Well ... the beer sounds good ! +Excuse me , sir , Is this the road to the peace Store ? +You could get there this way , but it'd be faster to go along the Wort Street . +Where's Wort Street , please ? +Turn right at the third intersection , you'll see the street and then walk along the street to the south . +How far is it from the Wort Street ? +Just walk for a few minutes , you'll find it . +Thank you very much . +Have you had a chance to look over the contract ? +Yes . I've read it carefully . +And do you have any questions ? +No . But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week.Will you have thatmany classes for me right away ? +No , probably not . For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours . +But my salary will be 1100 dollars a month.Will you pay me that much for the first month ? Because , I mean , I won't be working so many hours . +I understand . That's why I didn't write the date on the contract.For the first two weeks , we will pay you according to the hours you teach.When you have 22 hours of classes , then the contract will take effect.Is that alright with you ? +Oh , so I don't sign the contract today . Is that right ? +I don't want you to misunderstand , Miss Briggs.We are very serious about hiring you . We want you to teach for us.We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient . +I can accept that . +Good . And your benefits will begin immediately . +Even my health insurance ? +Yes . We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow.And your free membership in the club starts today if you like . +I have a few questions about the free membership . +What would you like to know ? +Is my membership the same as paying club members ? I mean , can I get discounts at club hotels ? +Absolutely . The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers . +What are bar vouchers ? +Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers.The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge.But we don't offer vouchers to employees . +But according to the contract , employees get a discount in the restaurant . +That's right . So in a way , it is cheaper for you than for the members.You get more benefits than they do . +So , for now , you want me to keep a copy of the contract.But we won't sign it yet . That right ? +Yes . I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything.So that you understand the terms . +I understand.And according to the terms on the contract , I am happy to accept this job . I look forward to it . +I'm very pleased . We look forward to having you here , Miss Briggs . +Welcome to our shop . It seems you are interested in this dress . +Yes . But I am afraid it is too thick to wear in summer . +That's no problem . It is made of linen , so you won't feel hot in it . I can assure you it is of superior quality . What is more , it is very popular with young women . +How much is it ? +88 Yuan . +OK , that is reasonable . I will take it . +Hi , I am looking for a woman named Mia . +I think I am who you are looking for . You have got to be Rubin . +That would be me ! +Rubin ! Karen and Mike have spoken about you so often that I feel like I've met you before . +I hope that what they had to say was mostly good ! +They only said wonderful things about you . You did a good job of finding me . +Finding the beautiful woman in a red dress next to the fountain wasn't all that hard . +Yes , I guess it was a choice of me or the pigeons ! +I was hoping that we could take a walk down the street to my favorite cafe . +Lunch sounds great ! Let's head on out ! +Excuse me , how do I get to the Forbidden City ? +Follow this road and turn right at the second intersection . It'll be right there . +Is it far ? +No , it should only take you about 15 minutes by foot . +Thank you . +You're going to have coffee , aren't you ? +Yes . I could use a cup of coffee . +Are you going to have anything to eat ? +French toast sounds good . What are you going to order ? +I'll have that too . +Let ’ s move out of here . This apartment is too small . +I agree . I ’ ll look in the paper . +A house would be great . I could plant a garden . And you could use the garage for a workshop . +Here ’ s an interesting ad +How much is the rent ? +The ad says $ 325 plus deposit . +When is the place available ? +It ’ s available now , and it ’ s got a very good location . You won ’ t be far from work . +I am very nervous about signing my escrow papers . +Escrow involves a lot of paperwork , but I will explain all of the steps to you as we go along . +What should I have brought with me ? +The only thing I will need to see is your driver ’ s license , as I will be notarizing these papers . +I feel a little overwhelmed by so many papers . +Don ’ t worry about how many papers there are . We are going to look at them one at a time . +My boyfriend is an attorney and told me that I could fax him anything if I had a question . +Please get any outside help that you need in understanding your escrow documents . +Is this the last thing that I will need to do before the house becomes mine ? +At the close of escrow , the house will be yours ! +I want a doggy bag , waiter . +Sure . How do you like your meal today ? +Quite good . It was the most wonderful dinner I have ever had . +I am glad you like it . Welcome next time . +Hello , IMPF Bank , how can I help you ? +I need to report a missing Bank Card and Book . +OK Sir . Could you tell me the account holder's name , the account number , the amount in the account and your PIN number , please ? +Well , the account's in my name . Patrick Dean , that's D-E-A-N . The account number is 15273478841 . There was about 20,000 RIB inside . +OK , Sir . Almost there , I just need your PIN number . When we issue you with a new card and book we would recommend that you change your PIN number . It's a very simple procedure . +OK , it's 672910 . +Excuse me , could I ask a favour ? +Sure , go ahead . +Could you tell me where the canteen is ? +Sure , I can take you there actually . +Oh , I don't want to trouble you . +It's fine . I was heading there anyway . +Do you take in students ? +Yes.If you don ’ t mind sharing room , there ’ s one available . +How much is it ? +$ 30.00 a week . +Do you think I could have a look at it , please . +I ’ m on my way out now.Could you come back in an hour ? +Can I take your order , sir ? +I ’ ll have the kung PAO chicken , please . +Certainly sir , would you like some rice or noodles with that ? +Just some fried rice please . +Ok , would you like some soup as well ? +No , thanks . +Thank you very much . Your food will be ready soon . +Hello . Can I help you , ma'am ? +Yes . Could you tell me how to send some money to someone with an account with a bank in Germany ? +Well , you can pay by mail , telegraphic or SWIFT transfer . Or you can have a banker's draft and mail it yourself to the beneficiary . +Which is the best way ? +It depends on the amount and how fast you want that person to receive the money . A SWIFT transfer is the fastest method but a banker's draft is usually the cheapest . How much do you wanna send ? +$ 800 . +Why don't you send it by mail payment order ? +How long does it take ? +About a week . +I don't know . Can I send it more quickly ? +Sure . You can have a Telegraphic or a SWIFT transfer . +And how long do those take ? +Both a Telegraphic Transfer and a SWIFT transfer will normally be credited to the payee's account within three or four working days , depending on whether the beneficiary's bank is among our correspondent banks or we have to route the transfer through a third bank . +I see . How can I pay by Telegraphic Transfer ? +You have to fill out this form , ma'am . +I can ’ t attend the meeting in Washington . I ’ Ve proposed you as the most able substitute . +But I ’ Ve never been on a business trip before ! +It ’ s easy enough . Just make sure you keep track of all your expenses . The accounting department will reimburse you for all your meals and travel expenses . +So the company will pay for everything ? +Yes , but when you send in your expense report , you also have to file a report summarizing your trip . It ’ s not just a big vacation , you know . +That sounds good . But what do you want me to do there ? +I ’ Ve already paved the way . You just have to give a presentation on what our products are . I will do the follow-up and close the sale . +Hey , Gary , great to see you again . Please have a seat . So tell me , what seems to be the problem ? +Thanks , doc . I ’ Ve got a really bad toothache ! I can ’ t eat anything , and look , my face is all swollen . I think it might be my wisdom tooth . +Well , let ’ s have a look . Open wide . Hmm ... this doesn ’ t look good . Well , it looks like you have a cavity and your crown is loose . We ’ ll need to put in a filling before it gets any worse , and the crown probably needs to be refitted . I ’ m going to order some x-rays . +Is it gonna hurt ? +No , not at all ! Just lay back and relax . +Ok , spit . +Excuse me . Do you think I can get there in time to catch the 11:30 train ? +Well , let me see . Now it's 11:00 sharp . It's a long way to go.If I take the shortest route , we may come across a traffic jam.If I take a less heavy route , it will save us 10 or more minutes , but you'll have to pay more . Which do you prefer ? +Are you sure that I can get there in time if we take the less heavy route ? +Generally speaking , we can if we go at this speed and nothing unexpected happens . +How much more do I have to pay ? +Compared to the shortest route , you may pay around 5 Euro more . +That's acceptable . No one wants to miss a train . +OK ... Here we are . We'll turn left at this cross . To go straight ahead is the shortest route . +Thank you ! +I've been learning to play go recently . It's an amazing game ! +Weigh ? It must be a greatest Chinese invention . I've tried hard to learn it . Its rules can't be any simpler , but I've never won a game of Go . Well , it's all Greek to me ! +At least you have obtained a very basic understanding of the game , haven't you ? I think it is perfect for boosting intelligence , cultivating personality and flexible learning . Every intellectual wishing to gain any insight into Chinese culture should learn to play Go . +I heard it is included in the four major arts of China , is it ? +Sure . It was considered desirable that a well-educated ancient Chinese scholar could be well versed in zither , weigh , calligraphy and painting . I think weigh is the most fantastic of them . It embodies ancient Chinese wisdom and cultural profoundness . +I know it is quite different from Western chess . +Yes . Playing chess is a very aggressive experience . All the pieces are supposed to capture their opponents . Whenever I start a chess game , I can't help but imagine a concrete battle in which all fighters stand ready to kill . +But isn't it the same with wiki ? +Certainly not . The object of weigh is to surround a larger area than the opponent . In other words , each side is struggling for a greater living space by mapping out a territory on the board . Hence , chess aims to kill , while weigh is most concerned with howso survive . +Now I'm sure we'll never get all our things back . They're so clever these criminals . What's the point of collecting beautiful things for other people to steal ? +I only wish it were this time yesterday . +Think how happy we were . Now this.Things always go wrong . +Perhaps we ought to get dressed and have breakfast . We'd feel better . +I don't feel like breakfast . I don't feel like anything . Why are we so unlucky ? It's as if there were a jinx on us . +Perhaps I'd better ring the police ... +Yes . Of course . But what good will it do ? That man's miles away from here by now . In our car . +Good evening , sir . Welcome to our restaurant . +Thank you . +Do you have a reservation ? +Yes , I do . +May I have your name , please ? +Yes , it's Mr . Brown . +Mr . Brown . We were expecting you . This way , please . Will this table be fine ? +Oh , this is just fine . +Please take a seat . +Thank you . +Here is the menu . +Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you , too . +You are a graduate , right ? +I recently graduated from college as an English major . +So you don't have much related work experience . +Admittedly , I don't . But I still beg you to give me an opportunity , and I'm willing to learn with my best effort . +Well , did you get any honors or rewards in college ? +I have got a Business English Certificate and a Certificate of TEM 8 . +What about your computer skills ? +I got professional training in this field , and I believe I can fit the position well . +And anything else ? +I have taken some courses in college , such as translation , business English , and so on . So I have a good mastery of both spoken and written English +I see . +Your approval would be my honor . +It's such a nice day outside . Let ’ s take a walk into town and do some window-shopping . +You know I hate shopping more than anything else in this world . +I know . But we could get some exercise in , and we could get some errands run , too . Window-shopping won ’ t cost you anything . +What kind of errands do we need to run ? +Well , we could go to the newsagent's to pick up the Sunday paper , go to the butcher's to pick up a chicken for a roast dinner , and to the chemist's to pick up your prescription from the doctor . +I'll only go if we can stop at the office-license to pick up something to drink for tonight . +Fine , we'll do that on the way home , so we don ’ t have to carry it the whole time . +Sounds good . You have to promise not go into any of the stores in the mall though . I know how you like to try things on in the fitting rooms , especially if the stores have special offers . +I promise . We're only going for a walk to get some exercise and to get some things done that we haven ’ t had time for . +Ok , let's go then ! +Do you have any money ? +For what ? +For our errands , and maybe a little extra for something from a vendor on the street . +You said you were only going to window shop ! +I agreed to not go into the mall , but I can still look at things in the market ! +I should have known ... +Even with volume sales our costs for the Exec User won't go down much . +Just what are you proposing ? +We could take a cut on the price . But 25 % would reduce much our profit margin . We suggest a compromise 10 % . +That's a big change from 25 % ! 10 % is beyond my negotiating limit . Any other ideas ? +I don't think I can change it right now . Why don't we talk again tomorrow ? +Sure . I have to talk to my office anyway . I hope we can find some common ground on this . +Robert , I have been instructed to reject the numbers you proposed , but we can try to come up with something else . +I hope so , Dana . My instructions are to negotiate hard on this deal , but I'm trying very hard to reach some middle ground . +I understand . We propose a structured deal . For the first six months , we get a discount of 20 % and the next six months we get 15 % . +Dana . I can't bring those numbers back to my office , they'll turn it down flat . +Then you'll have to think of something better , Robert . +Hello . What can I do for you ? +Hello . I'm here to get my salary . +I see . Do you have your Current All-in-one Passbook with you ? I'll need your password for this transaction . +No problem . +And how much of your salary would you like ? +I think just 3,000 RIB will be enough . +Good morning , sir . Here is the hotel's sauna room . What can I do for you ? +Yes . This is the first time I've come here . Could you please tell me something about it ? +Sure Those who have heart disease or high blood pressure are not allowed to take sauna , for their sake . +Thank you for telling me about this . What should I do here ? +First , change your shoes to slippers . Then walk up to the changing room to get prepared for a shower . +OK . How about after the shower ? +After the shower , step into the washroom with birch switches , dip them in the warm water and briskly whisk them over your skin . +That sounds comfortable . +Yes , then enter the bathroom , There is a stove tired with wood in the room , and on the top of the stove , there is a pile of stones , which keep the heat . Throw some water on the stones , and dry steam is given off . +What can I do for you ? +Can I have a look at your handworks ? +All right . This way , please . +You have quite a range , haven't you ? +Yes , sir . +They are all produced in China , aren't they ? +Yes , they are all distinctive Chinese . +Could you please select me one ? +How do you like this one ? It's very beautiful . +Oh , I like it very much . How much does it cost ? +350 yuan . +OK . I'll take it . +Rachel ? This is John Emory speaking . +Yes , Mr . Emory ? +I ’ Ve got some bad news . All the plans sent over to the McGrath Corporation have been rejected . We ’ re going to have to start from scratch . +I thought they had already agreed to everything . That ’ s going to take weeks to rework . +Forest Restaurant . What can I do for you ? +May I make a reservation ? +Of course . At what time ? +The four of us will be there at 7:00 this evening . +OK , sir . We are looking forward to your arrival . +It looks delicious . I will order it . +I am sorry , sir , it's for 4 persons to have . I think it's too large for you . +Would you please make it for a single person ? +Sorry , sir . We have never done that before . +Hello . I have left my key in my room . But I can't get in now . +May I have your name and room number ? +I am Molopo and my room is 5022 . +OK.sir . Please go upstairs . Someone will open the door for you . +Thanks a lot . +Hi , I ’ m testify chen , the tour guide for the Ged Agency . We have a reservation of twenty room for tonight . +Please to meet you Mrs Chen . My name is Joy . Welcome to the hotel . Here is the keys , registration slips and breakfast description .

Can you guarantee continuous production and adequate supply ? +Yes , of course . We have enough productivity .

I'm glad that this hotel strives to keep its reputation intact . +Sir , we always try to please our guests . +We've got a problem ... it looks like we'll need more spotlights on the exhibition booth . The client thinks it's too dark , and they want to add halogen lighting . We've already got 3 sets of track lighting from you guys , do you think you could help us out and throw in some halogens ? +Oh ... Um ... I don't think so . you know the halogen lighting is much more expensive than your track lighting system . Plus I'm going to have to call in some guys to install it for you . That's not going to come cheap . +But it would only be adding to the existing structure . We're not talking about anything new here ... +It doesn't matter because we will still have to call the electrician out , and they are union labor . It'll cost you a pretty penny ... +How much do you think it would cost ? +Mumm , I estimate it'll run in the neighborhood of ... $ 500 per light . +$ 500per light ? ! That's ridiculous ! It can't possibly be that expansive ! +It is , I'll tell you why . We'll have to call in the electrician , he's going to charge overtime now because it's already 5PM , and it will probably take him an hour a light . Plus , the halogen lights take more electricity , so your electrical cost is going to be higher as well . +Can't you give me a break on this ? We've already spent so much money on lighting , I hate to have to blow so much more on halogens . +No , that's the cost , and that's what it's going to cost us . We can't go in the hole with this . I am giving you my best price , so take it , or leave it . +What a charming room ! It faces south , and there's such a lovely view of the city . +I'm glad you like it . The bell is on the bedside . Just ring if you want anything . The room attendant speaks a little English . So I don't think you'll have any trouble . +No , I shouldn't think so . By the way , is there a socket for my razor ? +I think so . Here it is . It's by the basin . +Is it a two-pin socket ? +Yes , it is . +Good , I ' Ve get a two-pin plug . +I really don ’ t understand my parents . They always make light of my worries . +They think you are just a child . +But the child has his own feeling . +Maybe you are right . Well , you can talk with them . +I believe you ordered the Grand Slam breakfast . +Oh , good ! You know , I am looking at my plate and I ordered scrambled eggs , not fried . +Oh , I just noticed that I accidentally brought you your friend's breakfast . +I can just trade with him , thank you . +And pancakes for you , sir . +I am sorry , but I think I ordered waffles . +I am sorry that I misheard you . +Just please take my pancakes to trade for waffles . While I am waiting , I will eat my bacon and eggs . +I will get straight back to you with your waffles . +I would appreciate that . +Hi , Sir . What can I do for you ? +Hello , there . I'd like to know about Clean Collection . My company in the US is going to send me a cheque . It's for my wages , but I'm not too sure about how to cash it here . +Right . If the cheque is coming from the US , into a local currency account it will take 7 working days to clear . +Is there any way we can speed it up ? +There is , actually . If you can get your company to apply for a cheque from a bank in Shanghai , that'll speed things up no end . +Do I check in for the train D8 08 to Shanghai here ? +Yes , show me your tickets please . +Here you are . By the way , when does the train leave ? +The train is driving after ten minutes . +Thanks . Where is my seat ? +It's over there . Have a good trip . +Thank you . +Are you looking for an apartment ? +Yes , I am interested in finding a one-bedroom apartment near Washington Square . +I think I have just a right apartment for you . +Oh , good . Can you describe it ? +Yes . It has one bedroom , a large living space and 4 kitchens . +So is there a refrigerator ? +Yes , it ’ s brand-new . +It sounds great . How much is the rent ? +It ’ s $ 8.50 a month . +When can I see it ? +We can take a see by there now if you like . The landlord left me a set of keys with me . +Ok , that would be great . +Good afternoon , how can I help ? +Hi there . I'd like to draw some cash from my Fund Account at the Securities Company . Could I check my balance before I withdraw anything ? +Of course . Your balance is 92,320 RIB in your Securities Account . How much would you like to withdraw ? +I'd like 20,000 RIB , please . If that's possible . +No problem . Please fill in this transfer form that will authorise us to send the amount from the Securities Company to your account . +Good morning , Doctor ! +Good morning , Miss Mandy . How are you today ? +I am not feeling very well . I've got a bad cold . +Have you got a sore throat , too ? +No , but I've got a headache . +Yes , I see . Go home to bed and take one of these pills every three hours . +Thank you very much . +Melanie , can you help me with something ? We need to finalize the account with the Mexican Embassy and , I need some advice on phrasing this letter correctly in English . +Sure Tracy , let me just get my laptop . +Okay , so ... To Whom It May Concern , I am writing . +Um , Tracy ? I think that ' s a little too formal . I know you want to be polite but you've already made contact with them , so in English you can be more relaxed in the opening ... +Okay , more relaxed . Got it . Hey , Sally , what ' s up ? It's Tracy here , just . +Okay Tracy , now it's too relaxed ! You've still got to show some respect . How about starting with " Dear Ms . Cooper , I'm writing to confirm ... ? +Great , okay . " Dear Miss Cooper , I'm writing to confirm the final quotation for the full page back cover color advertisement you requested for the spring issue of Voila magazine " . +That's great ... +" The final costing , including advert design and production , comes to forty-five thousand six hundred RIB . We want payment ten working days before publication or we will cancel the ad . Thanks for ... " +Woo , okay , back up a second , Tracy . That's too direct . Can I suggest you say , please note that final payment is due two working weeks before publication ? You don't want to offend her . +Oops , okay . You are right . Then I can just end with " All the best , Tracy " . +Mmmm , maybe , but I'd play it safe and just finish with " Yours Sincerely " . That's more professional . +Oh , Melanie , you are a life saver , thank you ! +Bruno's . +Hi , I'm calling from Nika Corporation . We would like to hold a business lunch at the restaurant . +Oh , certainly . I'm Linda , the Manager . I can help you with that . How many will there be in your party ? +There will be about 18 people . +Okay . For a party that size , we have a separate banquet room in the back . +Is there an extra charge to reserve the room ? +No , as long as you can guarantee at least 15 guests , there is no extra charge . +That's great . I'd like to go ahead and reserve the room , then , for Friday , December 2 , at around noon . This is a retirement party and we'd like to bring a cake for the guest of honor and some bottles of champagne . Will that be acceptable ? +The cake is no problem at all , but we do charge a corkage fee of $ 15 a bottle for any alcohol not purchased from the restaurant . +Oh , that's fine . +Great . I have the banquet room reserved for a lunch on for Nika Corporation on the 2nd of December . May I have your name and contact information ? +Sure . I'm J McQuillin and my number is 323-555-6840 , extension 42 . +Thanks , Mr . McQuillin . I'll give you a call a week in advance to confirm the arrangements . +Sounds good . Thanks for your help . +Thank you for choosing Bruno's . We look forward to seeing you on the 2nd . +Excuse me , miss.Should I check in here for taking MS121 to Florence ? +Yes , show me your ticket and passport please . +Here you are . Can I have a seat in the back of the plane ? +No problem . Wish you a nice trip . +Have you anything to declare ? +One bottle of perfume and a watch . +Where did you buy it ? +In Boston . +Do you travel a lot ? +Oh ... I go to see my sister twice a year or so . +Twice a year ? How long has your sister lived in Boston ? +Nearly ten years . +I see , that's a long time . How much was the watch ? +I can't remember , but I've got the receipt somewhere . Would you like to see it ? +Yes , I'd like to see the receipt . Oh ! I see you bough the watch last week . +Yes . Does that mean I'll have to pay duty on it ? +Yes , I'm afraid you will . Altogether on the watch and the perfume you owe me seven pounds . +Ok . Here you are . Is that all right now ? +Yes , that's fine . I hope you enjoyed your stay in Boston ? +Yes , I did . I had a fine time . +Good morning and welcome . How can I help you ? +Could you tell me something about safety deposit box rental , please ? I need somewhere safe to keep some insurance documents ; I just simply don't feel comfortable keeping them at home or in the office . +We have 3 different types of boxes . We usually rent for 1 year and the fee depends on the size and location of the box . +I think I'll go for the smallest , as it's just for documents . Will I be the only key holder ? I'd perhaps feel a little nervous if I knew someone else could have access to it at any time . +You can have more than 1 key if you'd like , but we must have signature cards for each box . +That's great ; I can give an extra key to my wife . I feel perfectly comfortable with her having a key . Thanks for your help . +If you have your ID and are willing to pay a year in advance , we can do that for you today , there is no need to wait . +OK , I'll take a small , for 1 year , in this branch , please . +Rachel ? I ’ m not sure how you want to handle this account . I think there are a few things to be sorted out . +I agree , Toni . I think the biggest problem we ’ re facing is how to bring it in under budget . +That ’ s true . But even beyond that , there ’ s the question of meeting the deadlines they ’ Ve set . +Right . Look , why don ’ t we make a list of the problems we ’ re dealing with . It ’ ll be easier to work through them that way . +Why have you decided to change jobs ? +I hope to change because my current job is not within my chosen field.Since my major was international banking , I really hope to work at a bank . +Then , why do you want to work for our bank since it's a new establishment in Shanghai ? +Because your bank is a new one , I think I'll be given more opportunities , and the working conditions and surroundings are so excellent here . +It certainly is . But the work is also hard here . You need to put a lot of hard hours on the job to succeed in this field . +I expect to work hard , madam . +Do you mind going on frequent business traps ? +No , I enjoy travelling . +Excuse me.sir . Can I have look at the timetable please ? +Surely of course.Here you are . +Is flight ZW203 a direct one ? +No , it stopped at Honolulu.Would you like to book one ? +No . Is there any direct flight to New York ? +Let me see . I am sorry . ZW203 is the only one to New York . +I am looking for a pan . +No problem . What size would you like ? +A big one would be nice . +How about this one ? It's our biggest — 16 ' in diameter . +Oh , yes , I like that one , but it's too heavy . +Okay , try this one . It's made of aluminum . +Oh , yes ! This is much better . But it has an aluminum handle . +Here you go . Same pan , but with a state-of-the-art , heat-resistant plastic handle . +Yes . That's perfect . I'll take it . +Great . Will that be cash or charge ? +Oh , wait a minute . What about a lid for the pan ? +I'm sorry . I forgot to show you the lid . It comes with the pan . +Do you rent cameras here ? +Of course . Which one do you like best ? +I want one that is easy to handle . +Try this one . You can get a picture by simply pressing the shutter . +That's good . What's the fee ? +Oh great ! This stupid computer froze again ! That's the third time today ! Hey Samuel , can you come take a look at my PC ? It's acting again . It must have a virus or something . +Just give me a second . I'll be right up . I ran a virus scan on your computer , and it turns out that you have a lot of infected files ! +But I'm quite careful when I'm browsing theinternet , I have no idea how I could have picked up a virus . +Well , you have to make sure that your anti-virus software is updated regularly , yours wasn't up to date , that ’ s probably what was causing your problems . +Ok . Anything else ? +Yeah , try not to kick or hit the computer ! +Um yeah . Sorry about that . +I really need to lose some weight . I should go on a diet . +I think you should work out more too . +Wow ! You are much skinnier since the last time I saw you . +I have lost about five kilos . +How did you do it ? +I was on a diet and exercised daily . +I hate working out . +You can try a low-impact workout schedule . Why don't you go to a gym ? +Good idea . Then the trainer will help me to make a fitness plan . Besides that , what's your secret ? +The secret is persistence . +Let's see now . Cut the potatoes into small cubes . +Yes , but don't cut them yet . Wait until they cool . Where is the big plastic bowl ? +On the bottom shelf in the cupboard under the sink . +What's Donna like , by the way ? +Donna ? Well . She is about 20 . She is very lovely and I think you will like her . What about Paul ? +Oh , Paul is very easy-going and friendly . +Could you get me the pepper from the cupboard ? +Yes , sure . Which cupboard is it in ? +It's in the small one beside the cooker . +There is no pepper here . +Oh , there Isn't ? Oh , no . +Hello . Excuse me . Do you know if there's a Commercial Bank around here ? +Yes , go straight along Beijing Road and turn right . +Straight on , and turn right . Is it far ? +No , it's just a couple of minutes . +Thanks very much . +You're welcome . +Hello . Is Becky there , please ? +Just a moment , please . I ’ ll see if she ’ s free . +Thanks . +Sorry , Becky can ’ t come to the phone right now . +That ’ s okay . I ’ ll call back later . +Good afternoon , may I help you ? +I have booked a table for 3 this evening . I would like to cancel it . +May I have your name , please ? +Sure . Brown and we have reserved a table next to the door . +Yes , I see . We will cancel your order . +If I wanted to rent a van , how much would it cost ? +Let's see . That would be ¥ 160 a day a mile . +That sounds OK . I'll need it from the 10th to the 14th . +Do you have a valid license ? +Yeah . Here . +Fine . Now complete this form and sign your name at the bottom . +Good morning , sir . May I help you ? +Good morning . I'd like to pay my bill . +OK . In cash or by credit ? +In cash . How much is the total charge ? +Five hundred and thirty yuan altogether including charges for service . +Here you are . Thanks for your wonderful service . +Not at all . Welcome again . +Have you heard the news ? +I haven't heard anything . +Deborah had her baby last week . +Nobody told me . +I thought you heard . +I really wasn't told anything . +She was a cute 8 pounds 6 ounces . +Wow , how exciting . +I know , you should really go and see her and the baby . +Of course I will . +I just wanted to let you know what happened . +I appreciate that . +I'm afraid it's bad news for you . You haven't got the position . +Oh , no ! I can't have failed . Are you sure ? +I'm afraid so . I'm terribly sorry . +It sucks . But Arden told me he's satisfied with my qualifications and experience . +He's the only one of the several to decide this . +How am I going to face the fellows in our office ? They thought I would be promoted . They must be waiting for my good news . +I don't think the thing can be that serious . You should face the result . Besides , I don't think the position is the best for you . +But I lost the chance . +Keep working hard , and then you will get another chance of promotion someday . +Come on.Plenty of room upstairs.Fares please ! +One to the beach . How much is it ? +One dollar ... I'm short of change this morning . +Sorry . I can wait a moment . +Good , here's your ticket and four dollars change . +Thank you . +Can you recognize that woman , Millie ? +I think I can , Kate . It must be Karen Marsh , the actress . +I thought so . Who ’ s that beside her ? +That must be Conrad Reeves . +Conrad Reeves , the actor ? It can ’ t be . Let me have another look . I think you ’ re right ! Isn ’ t he her third husband ? +No , He must be her fourth or fifth . +Doesn ’ t Karen Marsh look old ! +She does , doesn ’ t she ! I read she ’ s twenty-nine , but she must be at least forty . +I ’ m sure she is . +She was a famous actress when I was still a schoolgirl . +That was a long time ago , wasn ’ t it ? +Not that long ago ! I ’ m not more than twenty-nine myself . +Shall we buy ? +It really depends on you . +But if you were me ? +If I were you , I'd buy . +Hello . This is Doctor Bell ’ s Office . Can I help you ? +Hi . This is Taylor Wright calling . I ’ Ve got an appointment with Doctor Bell at 9.00 tomorrow morning . I ’ Ve got to cancel this appointment . My father-in-law passed away suddenly last night . +I ’ m sorry to hear that . Cancelling the appointment is no problem . Thank you for your call . +Thanks a lot . Good bye . +Excuse me , which one is of the highest quality here ? +This one . It is of the best quality and excellently tailored as well . You may try it on . +That is nice . But I don't quite like the collar . +The collar ? It is just the collar that is popular with young people in Shanghai . +I don't care what others wear . How much is it ? +250 Yuan . +Really ? Too expensive . I don't think I can afford it . +But it is really worthwhile . +OK , anyway , let me have it . +Here you are . +Thank you . +It's time for you to wake up . +Give me five more minutes . I'm really tired this morning . +I'm sorry , but it's time for you to get ready for school . +I get that , but let me just sleep for a little bit longer . +You're not going to get up in five minutes if I let you fall back asleep . +Believe me . I will get up and get ready in five minutes . +There's a lot that you need to do this morning . +I understand , and it will get done after I wake up in five minutes . +I would like for you to not be late for school . +I'm going to be on time today . +Go back to sleep then , but only five more minutes . +Thanks a lot . +May I ask you how much this position pays per year ? +This job pays sixty-five thousand dollars per year . +What kind of benefits does this job have ? +This job provides full medical , dental , and disability . +What type of vacation time do we get ? +You get 3 weeks paid vacation that you may use as you wish . +Do we have a 401K ? +We offer a 401K with some matching funds available depending on length of service . +What type of professional development do you offer ? +We provide up-to-date training on state of the art equipment . +Where do I sign up for my benefits package ? +Down the hall . I'll show you when the interview is over . +Oh dear , my weight has gone up again . +I am not surprised , you eat too much . +And I suppose sitting at the desk all day at the office doesn't help . +No , I wouldn't think so . +I do wish I could lose weight . +Well , why don't you go on a diet ? +I've tried diets before but they've never worked . +Perhaps you should excercise more . Why don't you go to an exercise class . +Yes , maybe I should . +Do you have a reservation , sir ? +No , I am afraid we don't . +I'm sorry . The restaurant is full now . You have to wait for about half an hour . Would you care to have a drink at the lounge until a table is available ? +No , thanks . We'll come back later . May I reserve a table for two ? +Yes , of course . May I have your name , sir ? +Bruce . By the way . Can we have a table by the window ? +We'll try to arrange it but I can't guarantee , sir . +That's fine . +What is your most preferred training method ? +Well , I prefer active rather than passive training . For example , I like the training offered by a financial software company from which we bought the newest updated virgin . They sent the programmers to demonstrate how to do and then ask us to practice . All employees receiving this training were in the same meeting room , so we could communicate with each other . We had a lot of fun learning together . It helps to build up the work relation among colleagues . +Well , that is also very efficient , right ? +Of course , it is much better than just giving us some reading materials or information via the internet . +That ’ s boring . Once we were asked to watch a video on how to operate the punches , all of us seemed to fall into sleep by the end of the video . +what are you watching on the telly ? +there's a great sitcom on Channel 3 that stars in about three minutes . +which one is that ? +the office . Have you watched it ? +I've seen the British version and loved it , but have never seen the American version . +it's almost exactly the same . I think it's a hilarious show . +what are you watching now ? +they're just showing highlights of American Idol from last night right now . +I can't stand American Idol ! I think it's really over-rated . +I couldn't agree with you more . +have you got satellite , cable , or digital TV ? +we have digital TV . It's amazing though---even with 100 channels , there's often nothing on that I'd want to watch ! +do you watch a lot of TV then ? +I guess so . I'm bit of a couch potato . How about you ? +I don't have a TV at home , so I rarely watch anything . Is there anything worth watching after the office ? +there's actually a documentary on the history channel later on that I'd like to watch . Do you want to stay and watch it with me ? +why not ? I don't have anything better to do ! +Good afternoon , ma'am . Can I help you find anything ? +No , thanks . I'm just looking . +We have a special on these skirts this week . Would you like to try one on ? +No , thank you . I don't need any skirts . +How about a blouse ? This one here is the latest fashion . +No , thank you . +Why not try on this lovely pair of shorts ? I'm sure they'd look fabulous on you . +No doubt . Look , I'm just browsing . If I need your help , I'll let you know . +Take a look at this dress ! Don't you think it's perfect for you , ma'am ? Uh , where are you going , ma'am ? Ma'am ? +You say your products are aimed at the green consumer . In what ways are they environmentally-friendly ? +We produce household cleaning products - detergents and so on . They are all phosphate-free , which minimises damage to the environment . +What about the packaging ? +We try to use as little packaging as possible . Also , all our bottles are made of recyclable plastic and we use recycled fibre in our boxes . That's what our customers want . +Excuse me , Alex ? +What can I do for you , Kim ? +I was wondering if you could get together with me to go over the payroll . +Sure , anytime . +I don't know about you , but I'm famished . Are you interested in getting a bite to eat ? +That sounds great . I'm absolutely starving ! What kind of food are you in the mood for ? +I'd love something spicy . Maybe we could get some Sichuan Hotpot . +You're a woman after my own heart . I don't know many people who can handle spicy food . Are you sure you are up for hotpot . +Sure . If I could , I would eat hotpot every day ! +Ok , you're really all eyes when it comes to talking about food , aren't you ? +Well , let's stop dragging our feet and find a Sichuan Hotpot restaurant for dinner ! +Let me think about it for a minute . Let's see ... oh the name of the restaurant is on the tip of my tongue ! Give me a second and it'll come to me . +Well ... ? Have you thought of it yet ? +No ... +Never mind . There's an authentic tasting hotpot restaurant not far from the China World Trade Towers on Chang An Street . Have you been there ? +That's it ! That's the one I was thinking of ! I told you I'd remember it ! +You really have a bid head , don't you ! +I lost my wallet . +I'm sorry , that's bad luck . +Can you suggest a few exercise to help me get fit and stretch my muscles a little ? +Sure . If you want to stretch your legs , a good exercise is to lift your knee in front of your body , like this . It ’ s a very simple exercise , but very effective . +I need to excise my arms too . How can I do that ? +One good way is to do push-ups . Another way is to use weights . Make sure you grip the weights firmly . You don ’ t want to drop them on your feet ! +When I do push-ups , should I bend my elbows so that my nose touches the ground ? +You don ’ t need to bend your elbows that much . Bend them so that your arms are at a 90 degree angle . The most important think is to remember to keep your body straight . Many people bend their bodies at the waist , which reduces the effectiveness of the exercise . +What ’ s a good exercise for my chest muscles ? +One that I recommend is that you lie on your back . You should have a weight in each hand and stretch your arms out either side of your body . +So I need plenty of space for this exercise . +Yes , you do . Lift the weight up , keeping your arms straight all the time . +Great . Thanks for you advice ! +May I help you ? +Yes , could you cash these travaler's check for me , please ? +Sure.Please sign your name here ... and here . +Ok , here you are . +Thanks.How would you like them ? +It doesn't matter . +Room reservations . Can I help you ? +Hello , is there a room available ? +What kind of room do you have in mind ? +A twin room , please . +Hold on , please . ... I'm afraid we're fully booked.The only room available at the moment is a suite . +Oh , I see . Thank you anyway . +Look , who's here , Peter ! +Oh , Tom ! I thought you were in Paris . +Just got back.Good to see you ! +Good to see you too ! +Are you going to the annual party ? I can give you a ride if you need one . +Thanks a lot . That's the favor I was going to ask you for . +The pleasure is mine . +Tristan , could you stay a few extra minutes to discuss your project with me ? +Sure . We're on a pretty tight schedule , but we should be able to finish it just on time . +Are all of your team members on schedule ? +A few of the graphic designers are a bit behind in their work because of computer problems . +How have they decided to deal with that ? +They've agreed to work over-time until it's finished . They've even decided to come in on the weekend . +That's true dedication . I'm impressed . When is it due ? +We agreed that the deadline was next Friday . +Right . Well , given that your colleagues are working so hard on this project , I suppose we could change that deadline to Monday morning , I won't have time to look over it on the weekend anyway . +That'd be very helpful . An extra weekend is all they really need . Thanks . +That's alright . Make sure everyone knows that we must stick to the new deadline . +I will . +I know you have a tight schedule , so I won't take up more of your time . Have a good evening . +You , too ! See you tomorrow . +Hello , this is Chen Kun . I am booked on flight LJ88 for Barcelona on Jan . 19th . +Hold on please ...

The business scope has been broadened , and there are more visitors than ever before . +Really , Mr . Brown ? Did you find anything interesting ? +Oh , yes . Quite a bit . But we are especially interested in your products . +We are glad to hear that . What items are you particularly interested in ? +Women ’ s dresses . They are fashionable and suit Australian women well , too . If they are of high quality and the prices are reasonable , we ’ ll purchase large quantities of them . Will you please quote us a price ? +All right . +Hello , there . What can we do for you today ? +I received some leaflets in the post from you , one of them talked about a new service you have where you can transfer money between this bank and securities companies . Is that right ? +Yes , that's right . We have just introduced the program , but it's very popular already . +I also read that if the customer is a stock investor , which I am , it's possible to get additional benefits ? +Right again . We can provide a tailored consultation service for you , giving you the latest quotes from the Stock Exchange and help you to plan what exactly you do with your investments . +What if I don't want to come in to the branch , can I use the consultation service over the phone ? +Certainly , Sir .

Maybe tomorrow . +Well , tell me something of yourself . +What would you like to know , Mr . Green ? +What working experience have you got ? +In 2004 , I got a job in the sales department of a trading company near Guangzhou . I started a sales representative . A year later , I was promoted to the position of sales manager . I had that job ever since , which is just over a year now . +Oh , good . Irene , can you tell me why you plan to quit being a sales manager to work here as my assistant ? Don't you like your present job ? +Frankly , some part of it I enjoy very much , but I prefer something more professional . It happens that I have a friend working here in this company . She told me the export department was to recruit an assistant . I felt very excited at this news . That's why I'm here . +Is that room service ? +Yes.what can I do for you ? +May I ask for a wake-up call tomorrow morning ? +Fine , what time do you want to get up ? +6:30 . My room number is 305 . +Hello , I've got to get up early tomorrow , so please give me a wake-up call . +Of course . We can give you a call anytime you like . +Actually , I need two calls , one at 7 and the other at 7 fifteen . +Your wish is our command . Expect a call at 7 , and another one at 7 fifteen . +Wait a minute ! I don't like 7 fifteen , now that I think about it . Change it to 7 thirty . +The second call is now changed to 7 thirty . Is there anything else we can help you with ? +Nothing that I can think of right now . If something comes up , though , I'll call you . +We're here all night long if you need anything . +I just received a phone call for an interview next week . +Congratulations ! This is your first interview ever . +thank you , but I'm nervous . I don't know what to do.Could you tell me what should I do before an interview ? +sure , you should prepare so that you can give proper response when you're being interviewed . +yeah , besides my personal introduction , what else should I prepare ? +you should collect as much information about the company and the position you're applying for as you can . It is important to show that you've done some research into the company . The interviewers Wil +then what should I do when I'm being interviewed ? +smile at the interviewers and look them in their eyes while trying to persuade them to select you . Try to act natural , let your personality , ability and interpersonal skills shine through the interview +are there any other things I should pay attention to ? +yeah , wear formal clothes to your interview and do be punctual . That'll leave your interviewers with a good first impression . +Excuse me , sir . Is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes . I'd like to change some money , please . +All right . How much would you like to change ? +Let me see . I think maybe 600 USD at least . +Pardon ? +Six hundred US dollars . +I'm sorry , sir , after 7 +But I am badly in need of the amount . Might I ask you to make an exception for me ? +I'm afraid we cannot help you , sir , because that would be violating the regulations . I owe an apology for doing nothing about it . +It's just too bad . I have to leave it as it is , and thank you just the same . +Where to , sir . +To this place , please . +Star Hotel . OK . +How long does it take to get to the hotel ? +About 20 minutes . +Here's the hotel . +How much is the fare ? +That's 10 dollars . +Excuse me . We ordered too much . May we take the food home ? +Yes , surely . +Do I have to pay extra charge for that ? +No , you don't . It is free of charge . +Well , then , will you put this and that into doggie bags ? +Certainly , would you wait for a few minutes ? +Thanks . Would you give me another favor ? +Yes , what is it ? +Some more Chinese tea for us , please . +Sure , I'll be back in a minute . +What's your ideal boss ? +I have had an incredible boss , who was my direct supervisor during the last year of my coop work experience . A-bout two months after I began working for her , she really let me spread my wings . She encouraged me to work independently , because she said she had come to trust my judgment and commitment . So I was able to move forward on projects without having to check in with her every day . Of course , I made certain that she knew what I had accomplished on a daily and weekly basis because I gave her summary reports , although she didn't specifically ask me to . Without her support and encouragement , I don't think I would have felt confident enough to have written up a proposal suggesting that the department change a process that had been in place for a long time . But she was open to suggestions , so long as employees could back them up with research and facts . When I submitted my suggestion , she reviewed it and told me where she thought it needed more work . She then took my revised proposal to her boss . He was a more conservative type , but she lobbied him to try It for several weeks . He did , and it was so successful that it was instituted as a permanent change . I've also worked for some very difficult bosses in summer and part-time jobs . And while I'd certainly prefer to work for one like I've just described , I'm the kind of person who can get along with just about anyone . +Hello . I'm leaving . Here is my key . +Just one second , sir , and I'll give you your receipt . Here you go . +Thank you very much . +Sir , did you enjoy your stay here ? +Well , most of my time here was pleasant . And New York itself is fantastic . +I'm glad you enjoyed the city , anyway . But please don't think too unkindly of us . +Wow ! What ’ s the hold up ? +It ’ s probably just people trying to get an early start out of the city for the weekend . Nobody sticks around in the summer . +Really ? Then , I guess I won ’ t have a hard time finding a room or getting a cab ? +Actually , you might because there ’ s a big convention in town this weekend . +I ’ m not too worried about it . I always seem to find something . +What do you think a job means to you ? +It is a way to make a living , but beyond this it's a way of fulfilling one's development . It can prove your ability . +May I ask you why you left the job ? +I left the job because of expiry of my employment contract . Besides I have accumulated a lot of experience in this sort of job . I want to seek better jobs . +Excuse me , but I'm looking for a gift for my friend . +Is it a Chinese New Year's gift or a birthday gift ? +Well , it's a wedding gift . +Oh , I see . Let me guess ... something sexy for the new bride on her first night of marriage ? +Basically . But I have no idea what to get ! She's American and kind of ... +Well-endowed ? Don't worry . I have some bras with bigger cup sizes in the back . +Why did you stay home today ? +I'm off today . +Good evening ! I don't believe we've met before . May I introduce myself ? My name is Jack . +It's a pleasure to meet you . My name is Lucy . +I'm very happy to meet you . You're from the United States , aren't you ? +Yes , I'm from Salt Lake City . +I've been to Salt Lake City a few times . I really like your city . +I'm glad to hear that . I think it's the nicest city in the United States . +Here's the dress you wanted to be made . +Oh , dear ! +What's the matter ? +It's not what I asked for . +What's wrong with it ? +It's not the right material . Or the right color . I can't possibly accept it . +This is a pity ! +Good morning , sir . Welcome to Flower Hotel . +Thank you . +How many pieces of baggage do you have ? +Three . Would you please help us take them to the hall ? +Surely , of course . +How can I help you ? +Yes , I am James Mason from Anderson and Associates Limited . I would like to see Mr . Smith . +Do you have an appointment ? +Yes , he knows I'm coming . Our meeting is set for 2 o'clock . +I wonder if Mr . Smith forgot your meeting . I am afraid he left this office this morning and is not expected back until 4 p . m . Let me find out if he made arrangements for someone else to meet with you in his place . Will you please have a seat ? +Sure . +Yes , Mr . Mason . I just checked with our office manager , Ms . Terry . She said Mr . Smith briefed her on your project . She is just finishing up a meeting now . She should be with you shortly . Would you like me to show you around while you are waiting ? +That would be very nice . Thank you . +Right this way , Mr . Mason . We can start with our front office . When Ms . Terry is ready , you may take the elevator at the front to the 6th floor.There is a conference room already prepared . +Good day .

I already have a Current Account with you . +That's no trouble , Sir . +I'm mostly interested in the personalized services you offer , with stock market news , etc . It sounds just perfect for me , as I'm too busy to be constantly at the computer checking the performance . +Yes , that's just one of the services we offer in our Personal Financing Program . +What I need to know is how I can keep track of what's going on . I mean , some days I buy and sell quite a lot . Some days , there's no activity at all . +For every transaction you make , a statement will be drawn up and can be posted to you or sent via e-mail , or if you want to be double sure we can do both . +That's just what I need , sometimes I'm pretty forgetful . +There are something wrong with my computer . +Really , what's wrong with it ? +The computer doesn't work when I push the power cotton . +Oh , do you use your computer often ? +Yes , I don't know why it doesn't work this time . +Don't worry . Have you got receipt with you ? +Yeah ! +We'll go to your house and repair it on Tuesday . Ok ? +OK , I'll expected you around 2 o'clock ? +See you then . +Hello , could you tell me my test results ? +Your results are posted on the website . Just put in your password and you can see the exact numbers . +Are you saying that all my results were normal ? +We always contact you by phone to come in if there is a need for follow-up . +How will I know what the results mean on the website ? +The purpose of each test is given on the site . +Will the numbers mean anything to me ? +The website will give you your results and then tell you what the normal range is . +Can I see all of my test results at once ? +Yes , you can see every test for the past five years . You can compare them . +What do you want to eat today ? +I feel like having some dumplings . Let's go out to eat . +No need ! I know how to make dumplings . Let's do it from scratch . Can you give me a hand in the kitchen ? I don't think I can finish everything by myself . +Of course . What do you want me to do ? +Just trim vegetables for cooking . I will cut up the meat . +I can do that . And I would like to make dumplings later . +Yeah , you are my good helper , Steven . +Absolutely . +What would you like to order ? +I would like to have a hamburger . +Did you want it with cheese ? +I don't want cheese on it . +Did you want anything to drink ? +I think I'm going to get a soda today . +What kind of soda can I get you ? +A Sprite sounds good . +What else would you like ? +Let me get a bag of chips too . +Anything else ? +That's all . +What are you working on ? +I'm figuring out my budget . +What budget ? +I'm making a shopping budget , so that I don't spend too much money . +How much money can you spend ? +I can only spend $ 300 a month . +Why only $ 300 ? +I need to save the rest . +For what ? +I need to pay my bills . +Your budget is a good idea . +I know . It's going to save me a lot of money , I hope . +Hello , Dana Okro . +Hello , Dana , this is Kevin Abrahams from Eureka Corp . I don't know if you'll remember me but we met last week at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon . +Oh , yes . Hi , how are you ? +Great . Do you have a few minutes right now for me to tell you a little bit more about the data management tools our company has to offer ? It won't take long . +Actually , I'm really swamped right now and I'll be going into a meeting in a few minutes . Is there any literature you can send me ? +Oh , sure , I understand . I'd be happy to send you a promotional packet about the programs that I think might best suit a company of your size . Would it be okay if I called again to see if you have any questions ? +Let's do this . Since I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to read the material , why don't I give you a call if I have any questions . Now , I'm really sorry , but I have to get going to this meeting . +No problem at all . I won't keep you any longer . I'll put a package to you in the mail and we'll go from there . +Sounds good . +Thanks for your time . +No problem . Bye , bye . +Susan , Is the manager in this office ? +Yes .

I must take the day off to go to the hospital . May I talk to him to ask for leave ? +I am afraid not , but I think I could convey your leave to him after the client goes . +Oh , that's very kind of you . Thank you very much . I've got to go . +Good morning . I'd like to buy 2 tickets . +Have you brought your student card ? +I didn't know you have student tickets so I left them in my bag . +In that case , you have to buy two full fare tickets . +Here is the money . +Hi , how are you ? +I'm fine , thanks . Just trying to get adjusted . It's hard to keep track of everything around here . +That's for sure . You're new , too , huh ? +Yeah . I just got here a couple of days ago . How about you ? +My dear , it's five flights up ! +That's all right.We ' ll get used to it.Besides , it is quiet up there . +We're little further away from the street and traffic noise +And there's no one living over us . +Is the place well-furnished ? +Yes , it's pretty bright in there and big enough for our children to play . +What about the kitchen ? +The stove and refrigerator are in good working order , +And I don't see any loose electric wiring that could cause fires . +Are the plumbing all right ? +The plumbing seems OK , too . +The toilet flushes and the shower has hot and cold water +And the sinks don't seem to leak . +The place is OK .

You'll get exams next month . +I don't need it to play the guitar . +Oh , don't you ? God save me ! +I'm sorry . +Good morning . +Er , good morning , yes , er ... +I'm phoning about the job that was in the paper last night . +Oh , yes . Arm , well , could you tell me your name , please ? +Oh , Candida Fawcett . +Oh , yes . Arm , well , what exactly is it that interests you about the job ? +Well , I just thought that it was right up my street you know . +Really , mmmm . Arm , well , could you perhaps tell me a little about yourself ? +Yes , arm , I'm 23 . I've been working abroad , I'm um ... +Where exactly have you been working , please ? +You ’ re free to leave . +I ’ m so excited . +What are you planning on doing now ? +I ’ m going back to college . +What are you going to major in ? +I haven ’ t thought about it yet . +I don ’ t want to see you back here . +You won ’ t see me here again . +I don ’ t think this place is for you . +I know . +I wish you luck . +Thanks . I know things are going to be better . +Good morning . +Ah , hello . Do you have a service for buying Traveller's Cheques ? +Yes , we do . How can I help ? I can give you a simple introduction , if you'd like ? +That would be wonderful . +We usually recommend our clients buy US Dollar Traveller's Cheques , as they can be exchanged for local currency all over the world . They are certainly the most versatile . +But what if something happened to them ? What would happen to my money ? +As soon as you purchase your Traveller's Cheques from us , you are covered .

I can ’ t remember what that word means . +Well , you have three kids , so you knew what it meant once upon a time ! +Ha , ha ! Those days are long gone . +Now please tell me something about your past work achievements . +All right , madam . When I was sales manager at the Beijing Friendship Store . I succeeded in raising the yearly sales volume by 25 percent and profit margins from 50 percent to 80 percent . +That is quite an achievement ! Do you consider it your most rewarding work experience ? +I don't think so . I'll create further achievement in the future . +Have you received any honors ? +Yes . I got the title of Advance Worker in 2006 . +Do you have any publications ? +Yes . I wrote a thesis entitled On Interpersonal Relations in the Socialist Market Economy and it was published in China Daily . +I believe that you called me ? +Oh , hi . Thanks for getting back to me quickly . +Why did you call me ? +I was calling about your son . +Did he do something wrong ? +Your son was acting up in class . +What do you mean ? +He was talking and causing a disturbance during class . +That's really not like him . +If you could just talk to him , I would greatly appreciate it . +I apologize , and I'll make sure he doesn't do that again . +Don't worry about it , but thank you very much . +Catherine , have you ever seen the movie Fast Food Nation ? +Yes , I remember it was inspired by a New York Times best-seller of the same name . +It's very thought-provoking , isn't it ? +Exactly . It reveals the dark side of the all-American meal . +So what do you think of the American fast food culture ? +I think America really deserves the name of " fast food nation - as people can find McDonald ' s , KFC and Pizza Hut almost all over the States . +And everyone knows that Americans ' favorite food is the hamburger , isn't it ? +Sure . You see , Tom , fast food is a lifestyle that craves convenience . People just don't care whether it is healthy or not . +But I think some healthy menu options are also served at fast food restaurants .. +What are they ? +Such as fat-free milk , whole-wheat rolls and fish sandwich . +They're much better +But I'm not sure if they're well-rcceived . +That's the point . People usually don't have much time to think about it when they have a on-the-go meal . +Well , Americans may need to find a way to make the most of their fast foods . +I suppose so . +You ran into my car . +That was my fault . I'm sorry . +You messed up my car . +I don't see any damage . +My rear bumper is messed up . +I don't see anything wrong with it . +It's smashed in . +That's not my fault . +The same thing is wrong with your bumper . +I'll take care of everything .

We would be happy to cash it for you . +I was going to cash it at the hotel , but one of my friends said that banks always give better exchange rates . +Well , any bank will cash it at our present traveler's check buying rate , for which we ’ re somewhere cheaper than hotels because of the service charge . You see , hotels really aren ’ t in the money exchange business although they will cash traveler ’ s check for their guest . +You mean there is really not that much of a difference . +No , madam . Not very much . +Well , may I cash these three checks for 100 dollars each ? I think that will be enough . +Yes , I'll be happy to cash these for you .

They are much safer than carrying lots of cash around . +I sometimes use traveller's cheques , but sometimes I travel to countries where they are hard to exchange for cash . +Do you use your bank to pay your utility bills ? I use direct debit . +Yes , I do . It saves me a lot of time . I also have standing orders for my subscriptions to magazines . +That ’ s good idea . You don ’ t need to worry about missing an issue of a magazine if you do that . I suppose you have a mortgage too . +Yes . My bank offers very good terms and conditions on mortgage . There ’ s a lot of competition between banks nowadays . Each one is trying to offer better conditions and services than the others . +I have a deposit account with my bank . There are some restrictions on withdrawing money , but the interest rate is much higher . +I don ’ t have one . I prefer to buy shares . My bank also provides a share trading service . It ’ s cheap and easy to use . +That ’ s great . But I prefer to put my money somewhere where the returns are more certain . +Rose , is this you ? +Yes , what is up ? +This is Susan . Would you mind taking charge of decorating the office for our Christmas party ? +Sure . +You can get your supplies upstairs from Mrs . Horn . +Will I be getting any help ? +You can ask Frank and Cathy to help you . +Where are you going , Tony ? +It's none of your business . +Mom said you couldn't go out . +I'm going out anyway . Get out of my way . +I would like to buy some beef . +What kind do you want ? +I need to get ground beef . +How many pounds would you like me to get you ? +I need about four pounds . +Exactly what type of ground beef do you want ? +Extra lean . +I'll get that for you right now . +I appreciate that . +Don't mention it , I'll just wrap this up for you . +Thanks for your help . +Excuse me , sir , the toilet in my room doesn't flush . +I am sorry , sir . Can you tell me your room number ? +812 . +Is there anything else I can do for you ? +The tap is always driving . I can't sleep well . +OK , we will send a repairman to your room right now . +It's so earlier this morning , Mr . Li ! You just came back yesterday , you should have rest much more . +I'd like to have rest , but I have many things to do . +How about this post-trip ? +It's very good , and the result isn't too bad . +Really ? +Of course . I will write a report about this post-trip , and then you'd better type it at the moment , OK ? +OK , it's no problem . +( Afternoon ) Miss Liu . Are you typing my report ? +Yes , what can I do for you ? +Nothing . I just tell you take care of it when you type , especially the address and telephone number of those new guests . You should make sure that it's no mistaken . +OK , please don't worry about it . You should set your mind at rest . +Ha , I know you are great secretary . +Thanks your flatter . +I'm pleased to meet you again , Mrs . King . +Pleased to see you , too , Mr . Brown . +You've had a good trip , I hope . +Yes , a very pleasant journey , thank you . +It's been a full two years since we last saw each other . +So it is , I've come again to renew our sole agency agreement for another 2 years . +We shall be pleased to talk the matter over with you . You've done very well in fulfilling the agreement . +I'm glad you're satisfied with our work . I can assure you we've spared no effort and spent quite a sum of money in pushing the sales of your products . +Yes , we appreciate your efforts in pushing the sales of our pianos . We can see you are experienced in this particular line . +Thank you . +But I think the annual sale of 300 pianos for a sole distributorship in Canada is rather conservative . After all , you sold around 400 pieces there last year . You can sell more this year according to the marketing conditions at your end . +That is the result of our hard work . Well , what annual quantity would you suggest for the new agreement then ? +500 pieces . +No , no . That's too big a number to be acceptable . Let's put it at 450 pieces . And we'll strive to sell more , of course . We wish to add another clause . For every 50 pieces sold in excess of the quota , we'll get 1 % more in commission for our efforts . +All right , let's fix it at 450 pieces then . And for every additional 50 pianos sold , we'll give you 1 % higher commission . +I suppose all the other terms remain unchanged . +We would like to make a specific mention of one more point . As our sole distributor , you will neither handle the same or similar products of other origins nor re-export our goods to any other area outside your own . +No , certainly not . That's a reasonable restriction . +Another thing is that every six months we would like to receive from you a detailed report on current market conditions and the users comments on our products . +Yes , we've already prepared one . I've brought it with me . I'll put it forward when we talk with the manufacturers tomorrow . +Good , that's all then . +Good . +I think we have had a very pleasant conversation , haven't we ? +Yes , I think so too . +Do you have any other questions ? +Let me think ... I want to know if the company can provide free accommodation for a new employee . +I'm sorry we can't now . +I really hope that your company could provide living places ; otherwise I have to rent a house to live . +Maybe the company will build dormitory for the employees in the future . +That would work too . +Anything else ? +Some companies will pay part of the phone bills for the employees . Will this company do so ? +I'm sorry we won't do so for a new employee . We only provide this benefit to employees who have made significant contributions to the company . +I understand . Will the company provide training ? +Yes , we will , and the staff will have a chance to travel every year . +That's great . Thank you very much . +Can I help you , sir ? +I'd like a table for two , please . +Do you have a reservation , sir ? +No , I'm afraid not . Can I sit over there ? There's a table free by the window . +Sorry , sir . That table has been reserved . This way , please . How about this one , sir ? +Fine . I'll sit here . +Would you like some drinks ? +I'll have a double whiskey on the rocks . +What ? What ’ s up ? +Our softball team is in the finals ! We ’ re playing the McGrath office on Saturday . +Fantastic ! I ’ ll be there ! +What are the branches of Operations ? +Operations is made up of Manufacturing , Materials , Shipping and Distribution etc . +It seems that it is a key department for providing materials and transportation . +Yes , it is . +So , Emily , how was your day ? +I don't think you really want to hear about it . +It can't have been that bad . Go on and tell me about it . +To be honest , it was horrible ! My manager is such a pain in the neck ! +Why ? What happened ? +Well , he made quite a few mistakes on the monthly report and when his supervisor found them , my manager blamed them on me ! +That's not very fair . What did you do ? +There wasn't really anything that I could do . There's always been a lot of bad blood between my manager and myself . If I had said anything , he would have fired me for sure . +Does he treat everyone in your department like this ? +He treats everyone pretty badly , but the way he treats me really takes the cake ! +Do you have any idea why he treats you worse than the others ? +I really have no idea . All I know is that the thought of him really curls my hair ! +Is there anyone else you can talk to about it at your company ? +Not really . I'm hoping to live with it for a while until I get a promotion . +That's very sensible . It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders . +I try to be sensible about it , but it's not very easy . Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it . +That's so true . When you have a taste for success , you can't let dishonest people like your manager get in the way . +I was wondering if someone in your office could help me with a question I have about my payment . +I would be happy to answer any questions you might have . +My paycheck seems to be smaller than the one I received last week . +What about income ? Did you make any money during that period ? +My old employer gave us a couple days of work during that period . +When you filled out your Continued Claim Form , did you show that income ? +Of course I wrote down the work that I had done on the Continued Claim Form . +What happens is , when you make money , we take part of your benefits away . +I am not going to show any income from now on then . +I wouldn ’ t do that if I were you . There is a severe penalty if you get caught making false statements . +Jane ! What an enchanting skirt you have on ! +Thank you ! Guess how much it costs . +Bright colors , smooth material , exquisite craftsmanship , soft lines ... Darling , it looks elegant on you ! It can't be any cheap stuff . Something around two hundred , I guess . +Your offer is way off the mark . It set me back only sixty-five . +Then you got a windfall ! Was sixty-five the original price , or did you get a special discount ? +Neither . I drove a hard bargain with the vendor before I got the price down . +How much did she ask for ? +Three hundred ! That's daylight robbery . How dare she play tricks on an old hand like me ? Without hesitation , I gave my offer---no more than fifty . +She must be fuming with anger at such a bid , wasn't she ? +Not at all ! She's really been around , and seemed quite accustomed to bargaining like this . That's the trade . She only demanded a higher bid , saying the purchase price was even higher than seventy . She was lying ! Then I inquired , ' May I have it at sixty ? ' she waved her head . +Then you pretended to go without buying it ? +Yeah . I turned around and started to move out . Just then , she yelped behind my back , ' all right , all right ! I may sacrifice a little . Let's fix it sixty-five ! Can't be cheaper . ' +How can we avoid the jam ? +Let's take a roundabout way . +OK . +Look , traffic jam again ! +Thank you for joining us this evening at Chez Attitude . +I am Mr . Foster , and we have a 7:00 dinner reservation tonight for four people . +Welcome , Mr . Foster , if you would have a seat in the lounge area , our hostess will be ready to seat you in just a moment . +We are going to have a drink while we are waiting . Please let the hostess know that she can find us there . +She will come and let you know when your table is prepared . +Those patio tables are new , aren't they ? Would it be possible to be seated out there ? +An outside table is available right now if you would like to be seated immediately . +We would love to sit outside . Thanks for your help ! +Here is your table , and now may I take your drink order while you are considering what to have for dinner ? +Yes , could you please bring us a pitcher of margaritas and four glasses while we are figuring out our dinner order ? +I'll put your drink order in and be right back to get your dinner order . +We'll be ready to order by the time you get back ! +Hello , is this Professor Clark ? +Yes , I am Professor Clark . +Hello , Professor , this is Kalina , and I am in your literature class on Monday mornings . +Yes , how are you doing ? +I was partying hard over the weekend , fell down the stairs , and need time to recuperate . +That sounds painful . Are you going to be OK ? +I sprained my wrist , but the doctor says it will be fine . +How many days will you be out of school ? +The doctor said I should be good enough to return next week . +I am glad you let me know that you will be missing class . Get well ! +I need to find a new place to live . +Yeah ? Why ? Don ’ t you like living with me ? +Oh , it ’ s not you . I just want my own place . +Well , check the newspaper . +Jeez ... I didn ’ t realize a single bedroom apartment went for so much these days . +Yeah , prices have really gone up the past couple of years . +Oh , here ’ s one . It ’ s looks like its in this neighborhood , $ 600 a month . That ’ s not to bad . +No , it ’ s pretty good . Why not give the landlord a call ? +Hello . I ’ m calling about the one bedroom in Lincoln Park . Could I take a look at it ? Yes . Tonight at six is fine . Thanks . +You should not have criticize your son in front of his friends . +Why ? He did something wrong . +I know . But at that time your blame is rubbing salt into his wounds . +I only wanted to help him . +But it is not the right time . +Reservation , may I help you ? +Yes , I would like to make a reservation for May 3rd . +For how many people ? +Only one . +May I have your name ? +John . +Can you help me ? This fitting has come loose and I need something to tighten it up . +Let's have a look . Oh yes , you need a 10 mm ring spanner . Here you are . Just leave it on the workbench when you finish . +Thanks for your help . +No problem . +You must be Mr.Sellers . I'm Steven . I am here to see the apartment you advertised . +Oh , nice to see you . The apartment is on the tenth floor . The previous tenant just moved out yesterday . +Could I have a look at it first ? +Sure . Let me show you the way . Here we are . Apartment 1008 . ( They enter . ) This is the living room dining room combination . Here's the kitchen . It's small , but fully equipped . The refrigerator is new , and the stove and the microwave oven are less than a year old . +It's nice . So this is the bathroom . And that must be the bedroom . +Yes . And there's a walk-in closet . +Is there air conditioning ? +Yes , there's central air conditioning and heating . The thermostat is in the living room 。 +What's the house rent ? When is the rent due ? And how much security deposit do you require ? +It's 600 yuan per month.The rent is due no later than the tenth of the month . We ask that you leave a month's rent as a deposit . It will be returned to you at the end of your lease . +I like the apartment , Mr.Sellers . You can show me the lease . +Why do you want to be a teacher ? +It's a job I've been dreaming of since I was very little . I firmly believe that teaching is one of the most honorable jobs in the world . +In what department do you wish to work if we hire you ? +I want to work in the English Department , as I am an English major . +I think if I ’ m going to find a job , I ’ ll look over the job board . +Well , there ’ s no doubt that lots of people have found employment in the help wanted section . +Right , so I picked up a copy of the Sunday Globe this morning . +Did you get a copy of the Herald too ? +No , why should I ? The Globe ’ s help wanted section is the best . +That ’ s true , but still the Herald lists some jobs the Globe doesn ’ t have . +Not enough to worry about . Why do I waste the money buying two papers ? +It's only a couple of dollars more . For that much money you can afford to risk it . +I guess you ’ re right . I'll get a Herald as soon as I finish looking over the Globe . +Good idea . +Mary , today a man from an intermediary gave me a call . +What did he say ? +He said he saw my job-seeking information on the Internet , and could offer me an appropriate job . +What kind of intermediary is it ? +It's a recruiting agency which specializes in introducing talented people to companies and businesses . +What job did he recommend to you ? +It's on telemarketing . +Does he ask you to pay some fees ? +No , he said the employers will pay for it . +Then what do you think about it ? +I feel it is OK and I want to give it a try . +Sure , but you must verify that first and don't easily make a promise . +Of course , I will . +Good luck ! +I have a parking ticket to pay for . +Did you bring your ticket ? +Yes , I remembered to bring my ticket with me today . +Did you bring your ID ? +I didn't bring my ID . +You're going to need your ID to pay the ticket . +What do you need my ID for ? +We have to know that this ticket is really yours . +All right , I see what you mean . +Next time you come back , bring your ID . +Will everything be cleared from my record ? +Yes , everything will be cleared . +Here's the dress you wanted it to be made . +Oh , dear ! +What's the matter ? +It's not what I asked for . +What's wrong with it ? +It's not the right material . Or the right color . I can't possibly accept it . +This is a pity ! +Can I help you , sir ? +Yes , please . I'm picking out some presents for my children and wife . +What kind of presents do you want ? +Actually , I don't know exactly . Do you have anything recommended ? +OK . How about some very cool sneakers for your children ? Anyway , it won't cost you much . It's only around $ 59.95 for each pair . It might be cheaper than that in America . +Hey , How did you know I came from America ? +Just a hunch , sir . +How much again ? +$ 59.95 . +That's really cheap for shoes like those . OK , I'll take 5 pairs . +Sorry , sir . +Why not ? +Because in this duty-free shop , your total expenditure cannot be over $ 300 and you also have one more present to buy for your wife . +Oh , my God . I've totally forgotten about that . Anyway , I think she would like a bottle of perfume . +That's good . And I can also recommend you a good one . It's the brand of DENY . +DENY ? That's very expensive in America . It costs nearly $ 70 for only 50ml.DKNY ? +It's $ 60 here . +That's very unbelievable . Is it fake ? +Of course not , sir . +OK , I'll take one . +Ouch , it ’ s unbearable . +Please keep calm . I know the pain isn ’ t what flesh and blood can stand . But be brave . +All right , doctor . But it really hurts . +Your office called and said that the owners had made a counter-offer to my offer to purchase their house . +To your offer of three hundred and twenty thousand dollars , the owners have counter-offered three hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars . +I think that maybe I should accept their offer . +You , of course , have two ways of responding . You can say yes or come up with another offer . +I want to make another offer , but I am afraid that they will decline and I will lose this house . +There is always a chance that someone could outbid you , but you could try one more offer if you like . +I would now like to offer three hundred and thirty thousand dollars as a counter-offer . +After the owners get home from work tonight , I will approach them with your offer . +Can you tell me how long it will take them to get back to me ? +I don ’ t think that it will take as long as the response to the first offer . +You heard who won the election , right ? +Who was elected ? +McCain won the election . +That can ’ t be true ! +I ’ m upset , too . +I can ’ t believe people voted for him . +People must want him as our President . +That doesn ’ t make any sense . +I have more bad news . +How could the news get any worse ? +I was only kidding , because Obama won the election . +That ’ s great news ! +When could we meet to discuss the project ? +I will be available on Monday or Tuesday . Choose which day is best for you . +I prefer Monday . +Good . Can you come in the morning or would afternoon be best ? +Either one is OK . +Great ! When I check with the others , I will send you an exact time . When you come , be prepared to do your presentation . +I will be prepared to do my presentation . +Who would you like to see there ? Just the sub-committee or should we ask the whole committee ? +Everyone needs to be there . +That will probably be best . Do you need help with directions ? +I think I know where it is . Maybe you could send me directions just to make sure . +OK . We will e-mail you all the information you need tomorrow . Have a good day ! +May I help you , ma'ma ? +Please , where do I catch the plane for New York ? +First you must check in at Counter No . 4 . +That one there ? +That's right . Then you will follow the signs to Gate 85 . +Thank you . You ' Ve been very helpful . +My stay is over . Here's the key to my room . +Thank you . And here's your receipt , sir . +Many thanks . +I hope your stay here was satisfactory , sir . +This could be a great hotel , once you get rid of the insects . The city itself is great . +I'm glad that the little problem didn't ruin your visit . Please have a pleasant trip home . +What reason do you have for missing school ? +I was sick . +How were you sick ? +I had a stomachache . +Did it get any better ? +I'm still feeling under the weather . +Would you like anything for your stomach ? +I took something earlier . +Get better . +Thanks a lot . +Do you want some dessert ? +No thanks . We just need our check . Have you seen the waitress ? +Where is our waitress anyway ? +Yes , the service hasn't been the best . Is that our waitress over there ? +I'll walk over and get the bill , since I don't think the waitress is coming over here any time soon . +Good idea . Just bring it back and we'll figure it out together . +So the bill is $ 36.00 . +How much do you think we should leave for a tip ? +My first inclination is to leave nothing for a tip . +I agree , but we don't really know the whole story . There may have been problems in the kitchen beyond her control . +Let's leave 10 % , so that we at least leave something for the service . +I agree . We will leave $ 3.60 for the tip . +Hello ? +Hello ? Mr . Bernie . My name is Lisa . I hope I ’ m not disturbing you . I just heard about your daughter . I wanted to call you and tell you how much we ’ ll miss her . +I ’ m sorry . I think you are calling the wrong person . My name is not Mr . Bernie . +What ? That ’ s odd . I ’ m so sorry if I ’ Ve bothered you . +No problem . +Can you please give me a hand ? I can ’ t carry the heavy box . +I ’ m afraid not . Don ’ t you see I ’ m looking up a word in the dictionary ? +I think you are flicking through it . +Well , wait a minute . +Are you introverted or extroverted ? +I wouldn't call myself introverted . Sometimes I enjoy being by myself very much . But other times I like sharing activities with others too . +What kind of personality do you think you have ? +Well , I approach things very enthusiastically , I think , and I don ’ t like to leave something half-done . It makes me nervous . I can ’ t concentrate on something else until the first thing is finished . +What do you think is the most important thing for you to be happy ? +For me , this would be having good relationships with my family members . My family has always been very close knit , and we still spend a lot of time together . +What basic principles do you apply to your life ? +Working hard and being frugal are both virtues . I strive to practise these two virtues in my life . +You look really wiped out ? +I had meetings back to back all morning . And phone rang off the hook from the minute I walked into the office . +Not a good day . I hate to tell you that Mr . Thomas wants to see the profit ’ s statement for new project tomorrow morning . +I can ’ t believe it . I guess I ’ ll be here until 10 again tonight . +I'm having problems with my computer . +What's wrong with it ? +For some reason it won't turn on . +Have you checked the connections on your computer ? +What connections ? +There are cords that connect your computer to a power outlet . +Will the cords keep it from turning on ? +It won't turn on if the cords aren't connected . +I didn't think of that . +Try it and see if it works . +I think that I will , thanks . +It should work , but let me know if it doesn't . +So , how are you feeling today ? +I ’ m pretty tired . I haven ’ t been sleeping well . +Do you have enough time to get the right amount of sleep ? +I have enough time . I just can ’ t seem to fall asleep and stay asleep . +What time do you usually go to bed ? +I don ’ t have one time in particular . I just go to sleep whenever I feel tired . +Have you been under a lot of stress lately ? +I just lost my job , and I am unsure about being able to find another one . +Have you ever tried doing relaxation exercises before you go to bed ? +I haven ’ t ever tried that , but it sounds like a good idea . +So how was your interview ? +I haven't gone to the interview yet . It's tomorrow . I am so nervous . +Don't worry . You should do fine . You have the experience . +I hope so . +Remember , they want someone who works well with people . You've got to show them how easy-going and personable you are . +Thanks , I'll keep that in mind . +How are you doing ? +I'm pretty good , you ? +I'm awesome . +How long have you been on the bus ? +I've been on here for like , 15 minutes . +Do you catch this bus a lot ? +Not much , I have a car . +So , you have your own car ? +I sure do . +Then , why are you on the bus with me ? +I'm waiting till our President gets out of office , and the gas prices go down . +That's good thinking . +Good afternoon.Swiss Airline.Miss Grown speaking . Can I help you ? +Yes . I'd like to make a reservation to Los Angeles on Sep . 19th . +Just a moment , please . Let me check for you . ( A moment later ) Thank you for waiting . I am sorry but our flights are fully booked on that day.The next available flight leaves at 4:00 pm on 20th . Shall I reserve you a seat on it ? +Yes , please , thank you . +Hello ! How do I restock my minibar ? +You've drunk everything , sir ? +I finished it all . +Do you want the whole minibar , or just certain items ? +Send me up three bottles each of Perrier and Jim Beam . +That's three Jim Beams and three Perriers . Anything else , sir ? +The apples in my room were delicious . Bring me a few more , please . +Okay . Are you sure there isn't anything else ? +You know , some grape juice would be really nice , too . +Be patient for just a few minutes , sir , and someone will be at your door . +Could I see the manager please ? I have a complaint to make . +Yes , I ’ m the manager here . What can I do for you , Madam ? +Did you have the room checked before we move in ? +Which room are you in ? +1808 . The toilet doesn ’ t work properly . The water doesn ’ t run in the shower . +I ’ m awfully sorry to hear that . ( After checking ) I ’ ll turn to it right away . I do apologize . We ’ ll change your room to 2002 . +That ’ s not bad . Thanks for your help . +It ’ s my pleasure , Madam . +Who's better at chess , Bill or Fred ? +Both are superb in their skills.Anyhow , Fred is one up on Bill from my point of view . +You said it . +May I take your order ? +What's the specialty of the house ? +The baked fish in tomato sauce is pretty good . +I like fish . Please bring me an order of that . +Do you want some dessert ? +Apple pie , please . +Single or double ? +Make it two . +Good morning , Sir . +Hello . I'm here today to pay in some foreign currency . Is that possible at this counter ? +Of course , Sir . What kind of currency would you like to deposit ? And what is the amount you would like to pay in ? +10,000 Japanese yen . +OK , Sir . Would that be Fixed or Current Deposit ? +Fixed . +And how long are you depositing for ? +For one year , that's what I usually do . Better interest , you know . +Well , Mr . Brooks . I ’ m sorry , again , for the delay , but we should have everything completed by the time you get back . +I certainly hope so . Can we arrange to meet on the 27th ? That should give you enough time . +Yes , sir . That ’ s more than enough time . I do appreciate your understanding . Why don ’ t we say 10:00 o ’ clock on the 27th ? +Fine , Mr . Tan . I ’ ll see you then . +Would you like me to fill out the form ? +I suppose so , but don't rush . I've got to tell you how to do it . +That's very kind of you . +Hello , is this housekeeper ? +Yes ma'am , may I help you ? +This is room eleven-seven and we have just checked in . +Yes ? +Our room hasn't been cleaned up yet.So would you send one of your housekeepers to clean up our room ? +Oh , yes , ma'am . We'll come right away then.Your room number and your name , please . +Our room number is eleven-seven and my name is Terry Chen . +Thank you.Would you hang up and wait ? +How do you put this seat back ? I know there is a lever somewhere . +What are you doing ? +I'm getting dressed , what does it look like ? +It looks like you are about to get dressed . Did you forget we are in a car on the road ? +I'm good at this . Nobody will see anything . +Are you kidding ? You're going to cause an accident just from people gawking ! +All right , pull over at that service station and I'll dress in the ladies ' room . +That will be my pleasure . +can you help me pick out some fabric for a suit ? I'm going to get one made for a friend's wedding . +sure . What kind of material do you want for the suit to be made from ? +it depends on the price , but I was thinking of getting a wool / cashmere blend . +that will probably be quite expensive , but the more you pay for the fabric , the longer it'll last and the better it'll look . What color do you want the suit to be ? +I was thinking of a brown pin-striped suit . +brown , huh ? Isn't that a bit dull ? +haven't you heard ? Brown is the new black . +why don't you just get black ? Black suits are always fashionable and can be worn for anything — a funeral , a wedding , a job interview — anything ! +that may be true , but black is so boring . Anyway , I already have three black suits . I might as well get a suit that stands out from the rest . +here are two different shades of brown . Which one do you prefer ? +I like the one on the left , but I don't like the pattern on it . It's too much . I want a pattern that's a bit subtler . +how about this one ? +I think that will do . Let's go talk to the tailor about getting it made . +ok , let's go . +What do you think of your personality ? +I am quite alive and energetic . I am a curious person , and I like to learn new things . +Do you think you are introverted or extroverted ? +I am quite outgoing , I think . +How do you get along with people whose characters are different from your own ? +I try to adapt myself . +Ok , I ’ Ve got an up-to-day map . Let ’ s check the route from here to the airport . +Where are we ? Oh , here we are . So we drive to the A120 and turn left . +No , we turn right . Remember that we are coming from this direction . +Oh yes ! Sorry ! Then we drive to the M11 motorway . +How far is that ? +It ’ s only seven miles . We turn left to join the motorway and drive south . +According to the map , we get off the M11 at the second junction and join the M25 . That ’ s the motorway that goes around the edge of London . +That ’ s another 15 miles , so that ’ s 22 miles total so far . +Then we drive west on the M25 . we must be careful to turn in the right direction ! +Then we drive on the M25 . it turns south . When we reach exit 15 , we turn left and go west along the M4 . +Then we take the first Heathrow Airport . What ’ s the total distance ? +The journey around the M25 is 33 miles and then 3 extra miles to get to the airport . So how many miles is that together ? +22 miles to the M25 , 33 miles on the M25 , and 3 after that . That ’ s a total of 58 miles , isn ’ t it ? +It shouldn ’ t take us very long to cover that distance . Remember that we can go quite fast on the motor way . +We can only go fast on the motor ways if there isn ’ t much traffic . I think we should allow ourselves plenty of time to get there . Being early is much better than being late . +May I order , please ? +Of course . +I would like sirloin steak and tomato salad . +Do you take dressing on your salad ? +Yes , blue Cheese please . +How about your grades of study ? +I have been doing quite well . As reach 90 % and Bs reach 100 % . And I ’ Ve been awarded Zu Jingle Scholarship two times . +Besides your major , do you know some in other fields ? +Yes . To develop my knowledge , I studied Economics , Business Administration and Accounting through self-study . Nowadays , I have passed three courses on CPA . +Have you ever been a student leader ? +Yes , I used to be the monitor of my class . +Did it affect you much ? +It ’ s a very important experience for me . First , it improved my organizing ability , and let me understand how to resolve a problem in the overall perspective instead of my own perspective . Second , it let me know how to cooperate in harmony with people who I like or dislike . +Where did you work in the past ? +For the past 5 years , I have been in an Ericsson ( China ) Communication Co , Ltd . +What's your title in the company ? +My title was Project Manager . There were almost 100 people under my supervision . +I am checking out . Here is the key to my room . +Thank you . I'll just print out your receipt , and then you're free to go . Here you go ! +Thanks . +If you don't mind me asking , how did you enjoy your stay at New York Hotel ? +This hotel could use some insecticide , but my time in New York was thoroughly delightful . +That's very honest of you . Rest assured that this hotel will have no insects next time . +do you have s second ? +sure . What do you want ? +I want to tell you I've put in my notice . +really ? Why ? +I've been thinking about this for several months , well before the Spring Festival holidays . +and the holidays provided you a chance to think over all this and make a decision ? +yeah , after receiving my yearly bouns , I want to search out better opportunities in the spring job market . I've been working in the company for nearly a year and a half and I still haven't received +absolutely . With your expertise and experience , you're clearly working below your pay grade . +that's exactly why I decided to quit the job and find a new one . +this way , you'll earn more at the new work place . +that's right . I am not the only one who has done this . Job hopping is quite common in the IT industry . +that is to say , most IT professionals can get a pay rise more easily by changing a job than waiting for a rise . I'm wondering why IT companies are always willing to pay more to new employees instead +I want to take a photograph . +All right.Which kind do you prefer ? +I like one taken half length . +That's fine . +I ’ d like to have this cashed , please . +Please put your name and address here . May I see your passport . +Yes . +How would you like it ? +Ten hundreds and Ten Twenties and the rest of small changes please . +Ok , here you are . +Cathy , I'd like to introduce the new microwave stove of mine to you , because it is easy to use . +OK , it so happened I want to buy one . +This microwave stove has many functions . Let me show you . For example , if you want to cook meat , you just need to put meat in it , and press the button with a picture of meat , that ’ s OK . After several minutes , you can eat the delicious meat . +I think it ’ s good , and it suits me , because I'm not good at cooking . Is it expensive ? +Oh , it is not so expensive . It only costs me 280 dollars . +We're supposed to check in at the Air China's counter 30 minutes before take-off , Joe . +Yes , I know . The boarding time on the ticket says 17:05 , and now it's 16:15 . I guess we have plenty of time . +Do we need to show our ID cards when checking in ? +Yes.It ' s essential . +What about our luggage ? +We can check it and hand carry the small bags . And we have to open each for inspection . +Are they going to frisk all the passengers ? +I think so.We certainly don't want a hijack to happen on the plane today . +I need some flowers for my wife . It's her birthday . +Very well . We have some fresh red roses . +How much are the roses ? +$ 20 per dozen . +That sounds like a good deal . +Yes , they're on sale today . +I'll take a dozen . +Splendid . Will there be anything else ? +No , the roses will be fine . +I'm sure your wife will love them . +Mom , I'm starving . +Here are some biscuits . Why are you back so early today ? +My teacher had a sudden stomachache , so the class was cut shot . You ? +Me what ? +You are cooking at least two hours earlier than the usual . +It's not for us . +Then it's for Dad , isn't it ? It's so unfair ! +Don't be a smarty-pants . It's for Grandma Wang . +What was that again ? +It's for Grandma Wang . She is sick and her only daughter went abroad weeks ago . So she needs our help . +I'm sorry , I didn't know that . But I wanna help . +Umm , let me think for a moment . We can meet her together after I finish cooking . +I'll get knee to knee with her . +Good boy . I can only imagine how happy she will be to see you . +I'm glad we came here . This is really delicious ! +I was worried you would think it was too far to drive . +Well , it's true I've never driven two hours just to get lunch.But really , I think it's worth it . +I think if you try some more authentic Chinese food , you might understand how we students from Taiwan suffer . +How do you mean " suffer " ? +I mean , in Milwaukee there is no good Chinese food.So we miss the food in Taiwan too much.Sometimes we just have to drive down here to Chicago to find something better . +Even in the winter ? +Yes , even in the winter . +And even if it takes two hours , huh ? +Why not ? I've been craving good food for three weeks now . I'm too sick of hamburgers and pizza ! +Well , this really is delicious , I have to admit . I can understand better now why you and your friends are always whining . +Don't tease me ! Good food is really important to Chinese ! +I know . I can see that . This is what is called " dim sum , " right ? +Yes , all these dishes are different " dim sum " dishes.You can't find this kind of thing except for in a few cities in America . +So when you Chinese think of Chinatown , you mostly think of food . Is that right ? +Of course . I will try to buy some things at the Asian grocery down the block too.Then I can do a little cooking in my apartment . +And maybe we can go to a good Italian restaurant for dinner , after the museum.Chicago has some great Italian restaurants . +No way ! +What do you mean ? +We're going up to the " new " Chinatown for dinner . I already know where we're going to go . +Alright , alright . I am happy to try more Chinese food.Will it be dim sum again ? +No , dim sum is usually eaten around lunch time , or sometimes closer to breakfast.We ' ll try more Taiwanese style up at the " new " Chinatown . +Taiwanese style ? Isn't dim sum Taiwanese style ? +No , dim sum is more Cantonese style.But of course you can buy it in Taiwan . +I wonder if you can cook things this good . +I'm a great cook actually . You will see . +Pam , where's the closest ATM ? +It's not that far . Do you see that Yellow building over there ? +The big one or the small one ? +The big one . +Yes . +It's right next to it , on the right . +Do you know if there's a convenience store around here ? +I don't think there's one around here . The closest one is on 3rd street , but that's probably closed now . +I really need to get some things before I leave . +Well , you could go down to 22nd street . There are lot of stores down there that are open 24 hours a day . +Can I take the subway to get there ? +Yes , but that'll probably take about half an hour . You should just take a cab . +Won't that be expensive ? +No , from here I think it's only about 5 dollars . +Jane , we are going to have a board meeting next Friday . Will you please arrange it for me ? +Certainly , Mr . Robert . But can I have your plan ? +Sure . Actually it's a routine board meeting . The things to be discussed are all written here . +Very good . May I keep it ? I need it to draw up a notice of the meeting and the agenda . +Go ahead . It's for your reference . While you are at it , make me a special agenda and don't forget to have enough room at the side for notes . +You mean you need a more detailed agenda for yourself ? +Exactly . As I am supposed to the chair of the meeting , I don't want it to get out of control . +I see . Ok , then where do you think we will have the meeting ? +The conference room on the second floor , is that ok ? +Yes , I will see that the room is ready by Friday . And I will check there are enough chairs , and the lighting and air-conditioning are all right . +Good , and please get some water , glasses and ash tray ready as well . +Sure , I will . What about the minutes ? Do you think I am responsible for that too ? +Definitely . The minutes have to be taken accurately . +But I am not familiar with the members of the board . +Oh , that's easy . I will write you a list of their names . You can make a seating plan with the names and give each one a number . +That's a good idea . All right , I ’ ll withdraw and get down to it if you don't mind . +Please tell us the exact time when the big fire broke out . +The exact time ? Let me think . You know , it happened at night . +But we need the exact time . What time ? +Oh , I remember . It was about 10 o'clock . When I was about to go to bed , suddenly I heard help outside . +Do you have any sales experience ? +Yes , I worked in a fashion shop as a part time salesgirl . +What kind of work are you doing now ? +I'm working as an export sales staff member for a trade company . +Where are you working ? +I work at Yangshi Trade Company Ltd . I have been working there since 1997 . +Hi , I need broadband for my computer . +No problem . Just plug the Ethernet cable into your computer , and you're good to go . +That's a problem . My laptop has no Ethernet port , it's wireless only . +Hmm . Well , we have some alternatives , if you're interested . +Go ahead . I'm all ears . +We have a computer lab on the first floor . +That's great ! How much is it ? +It's absolutely free to guests . Except for printing , of course . +Okay . What about the other alternatives ? +You could use your wireless right here in our lobby . +Yes , that's the ticket ! And if I need to print something there ? +Well , we don't have a printer in the lobby yet . You'll have to use the lab . +I really want to take a nap . I feel very sleepy today . +What ’ s the matter ? Didn ’ t you get enough sleep last night ? +I fell asleep very late . It was almost two o ’ clock in the morning when I finally fell asleep . +Are you worried about something ? Why couldn ’ t you sleep ? +You know how it is when you ’ re in a strange country . Everything is new , and you get tired and nervous sometimes . Then you worry about your family , about conditions back home , about your courses , about your money , about everything . I tried to fall asleep but I just had too much on my mind . +Well , take it easy . Things will look better tomorrow . Maybe you should try exercising or a hot bath to help you relax . +Anything is worth a try . But right now I really just want to find a quiet place to take a nap . +Mr . Li , the report has been finished . +So fast ! Thank you . +You're welcome . This is my duty . Anything else ? +Yes , you'd print out the address and telephone number of those guests from your computer , and then send those materials to each business worker . +OK , I'll do it right now . +By the way , to tell them try to persuade those new guests to cooperate with us . Because I found a biggest opponent from this post-trip . +Yes , I get it . +OK , it's no anything . Do what you should do . +Dad , do you know where Mom is ? +I think she is in her room putting a little something together for you to take to school with you . +She'd better not start crying like she usually does . +I know , but she is going to miss you something awful . Have I told you how proud I am of you ? +Dad , now don't you go getting mush on me . +I mean it . You have really shown us that you are prepared to take on the adult world . +That means a lot to me Dad . Thanks . +We have great confidence in you . +Well , sir . We are asking all our guests to wear a jacket and a tie in our restaurant . +Is that so ? I didn't know it . can I possibly borrow a jacket and a tie ? +I am sorry ; you can't borrow a jacket and a tie . +Then we'll return to the hotel and come back , will you change the appointment ? +Certainly , what time will you come back ? +At 7 , please . +How many in your party ? +A party of 13 . +Alright , we are waiting for you at 7 . +Stand back from the door , please . Let the passengers off . You can't get on until the other passengers get off . +How much is the fare , please ? +One dollar . Drop it in the box . Move to the rear of the bus . There are plenty of seats in the rear . +Wait . I want to ask you if this bus goes down Fifth Avenue as far as Greenwich Village . +That's right.Move along , please.There are more people waiting to get on.Move to the rear . +I thought this bus Went down Park Avenue . +No , that's the number l that goes down Park Avenue.This is the number 2 . +But I thought this was the right bus to go to Washington Square Park . +It is.Get in.please.You ' re holding everyone up.You can't miss Washington Square Park . +Would you tell me when we get there ? +It would be better if you watched out for yourself . I might forget . +How do you spend your free time ? +I read or go swimming , go shopping , usually . I run or play tennis or do something else like those to get some exercises to keep fit . +Are you introverted or extroverted ? +I wouldn't call myself extroverted . Sometimes , I enjoy being by myself very much . But other times , I like sharing activities with others too , especially during these last few years . +What kinds of sports do you like ? +I like almost all sports , and I enjoy both playing and watching . I especially like tennis and mountain climbing . +What kind of personality do you think you have ? +Well , I approach things very enthusiastically , I think , and I don't like to leave something half-done . It makes me nervous-I can't concentrate on something else until the first thing is finished . +I need to eat something . +You just ate . +I know , but I'm hungry again . +There's no food left from dinner . +I think I'm going to go make myself a snack . +Do you know what kind of snack that you want ? +I'm not exactly sure . +Why don't you make yourself a sandwich or something ? +I have no idea what kind of sandwich I want to make . +A PB & J is pretty easy to make . +I'm going to do that . +Knock yourself out . +Waiter , bring me the menu , will you ? +Just a moment , I'm coming . ( ten minutes later ) . Now , what would you like ? +I'd like to see the menu . Would you get me one , please ? +Yes , certainly . Here you are . +Thank you . Ah ! But this is in French . Would you mind giving me the English menu ? +It's written in English too , in smaller print . There . +Thanks . I'll need a while to choose . Could you come back in a minute ? +Right . ( five minutes later ) Now , what are you having ? +I'm sorry , I haven't decided yet . Do you mind giving me a couple of minutes ? +All right , but would you be so kind as to make up your mind soon ? We're very busy just now as you can see , sir . +May I help you ? +Hi , this is Sharon in Mr . Reynolds ’ s office . One of your delivery men picked up a package here about an hour ago . +Yes , is there a problem ? Ma ’ am ? +Well , it still hasn ’ t reached its destination . I wonder if you could track it down for us . Mr . Reynolds is a bit concerned . +You know we went great lengths to promote the sales of your products . Through our continuous effort , consumers tend to accept your product . So , there will be a potential market for your product in this area , and would you let us act as your agent ? +We appreciate your efforts in promoting the sale of our clothes in the market of this city . But according to our record , your annual turnover is not too big , so I think it is premature for us to discuss the question of agency . +If that's the case , we can talk about it first . What's your concept of a big amount ? +I mean to double the amount for your sales this year at least . +I'm afraid that's too much for us . +We know you have done a good job in building up these exports for us . However , our company has the regulation for the agency . +All right , we accept the challenge . What about the commission ? You know , we usually get a 20 % commission of the amount on every deal . +I am sorry to say that it's a little higher . Our agents in other areas usually get a 3 % to 6 % commission . +You may have known that we have competitors from South Korea and other countries . At the beginning of our campaign , there is sales resistance to overcome , we must send out salesmen to have the market investigation and spend a considerable amount of money on advertising in newspaper and TV programs . A 20 % commission will not leave us much . +Our price is worked out according to the costing . A 20 % commission means an increase in our price . So , I'm afraid we have to decline your proposal of acting as our sole agent . +Oh , that's pitiful . +We ’ Ve got a lot of work to do now , but take your time over this project . We don ’ t want to make any mistakes . +Ok . I should have it finished by Friday afternoon . Then I can check those account over the weekend . We need to have them finished by Monday , right ? +That ’ s right . We ’ ll finish them just in time . The Macy project can wait for the time being . We need to spend several days on that project , but it isn ’ t due to be finished until the end of the month , so we have plenty of time to get it done . +Some next week on , we should be in less of a rush . +I ’ m going to give everyone on the team an extra day off . Everyone deserves it . +Don ’ t say that yet . A new project could suddenly appear . +That ’ s true . Right . I ’ m going back to the meeting . It ’ s been going on for hours and there ’ s no indication that it ’ ll end soon . +Carol said that she would spend some time checking that everyone is up-to-date with their work . +Good . I have to go right now . I really hope this meeting doesn ’ t last too long . +They usually go on for ages . +I ’ ll stop by if I have time later . Make sure everyone knows that we must stick to the deadlines . +I will . Enjoy your meeting ! +Where did you get assigned to go this time around ? +They asked me to go to Paris to check on the new office that was just established there . And you ? +Hong Kong again . I would like to go somewhere different for a change . +Teach me Cantonese and I'll pull some strings to get a trade with you next time around . +If you really want to learn , remind me when you get back from your business trip . +You're on . +When do you leave ? +I'm scheduled to fly out on the tenth . +What bus can I catch to get to the Gold Line ? +Tell me where you live . +I live in Altadena . +You can catch the 264 . +It goes to the Gold Line ? +Yes , it does . +What street do I go to to catch it ? +You can catch it on Altadena Drive . +I had no idea that bus went to the station . +Yes , it does . +I'm glad you told me . +You're welcome . +Can you skillfully operate the computer ? +Yes , I can . I have three years experience in operating computers . +What kind of software can you use ? +I can skillfully use Dos , Windows . +Do you have any certificates on computer ? +Yes , I have ACRE certificate , rank 2 . +Any other certificates ? +Yes , I have a Cambridge Business English Certificate and Lawyer ’ s Qualification Certificate . +Do you have any other special skills ? +I like photography very much . I used to be awarded second prize in a photography contest at our university . +Hello everyone , and welcome to our CPR for beginners course . First of all , does anyone know what CPR stands for ? +Cardiopulmonary resuscitation ! +That ’ s right ! We apply CPR in the case of cardiac arrest or pulmonary arrest . +What does that mean ? +Well , basically if your heart stops pumping blood , or your lungs stop pumping air , then we need to get them going again ! That ’ s when we have to apply this procedure . Let ’ s begin ! I need a volunteer . +Me ! Me ! +Alright , come here and lay flat on your back . Let ’ s suppose this young woman has stopped breathing . We must lift the person ’ s chin so that we clear a pathway for air to get into the lungs . Then we place our mouth over the other person ’ s mouth and blow air two or three times , like this . +Wait , what are you doing ? I ’ m a married woman ! You can ’ t just try to kiss me like this ! +Madam I ’ m not trying to kiss you ! I am trying to demonstrate how to apply CPR in the case of an emergency . +Well , OK . But no French kissing ! +As I was saying , we blow air through the mouth in this manner . Once this is done , we must try to get the heart going again . To do this , we place our hands over the person ’ s chest , and press down firmly two or three times . +Wait , what are you doing ! You can ’ t just kiss me then go for second base ! +Hello ? +Hi , David . You are very difficult to reach . I called several times . But I kept getting a busy signal . Is your phone out of order ? +No , not out of order . But we seem to have a bad connection on the phone line . I can ’ t hear you clearly . +Ok . Let me call you later . Is that okay ? +Sure . Thanks . +Excuse me , can I have a look at the green coat ? +Certainly . Here you are . It's a new arrival . +Yes , I like the style.Can I try this on ? +Sure . The fitting room is in the corner . +Excuse me . I need to refill this prescription . +It says on the bottle here that you can have two refills . +Yes , I need to refill it today . +Alright . I'm sorry , Miss . According to our file , this prescription has already been refilled twice . +I was worried about that . I couldn't remember if I had it refilled twice yet or not . +Well , it looks like you have.You will need to see your doctor to get a new prescription . +Listen . This is an emergency . I tried to call my doctor , but he is out of town . So I can't see him in time . I need this medicine . It is for skin condition . I've run out.Can you just refill it once more ? +I'm sorry , Miss . We can't do it . We must follow the prescription.And this prescription has run out . +But I need it . Please . Refill it for me just this once . I can go to the doctor around ten days from now . Then I'll have another prescription . +Miss , I understand your problem.But it is against the law for us to sell certain medicines without a prescription.It ' s the law . I can't do anything about it.We never sell medicine unless we have a proper prescription . Never . +But I have a prescription . I just need more of it . +A prescription must be valid . It cannot be an expired prescription . I'm sorry , Miss . It's the law.You will have to find another doctor who will prescribe this for you . +Oh , it will be so expensive ! I have a special medical plan , and I can only see one doctor.It will cost me a lot of money to see another doctor . +Miss , I just can't help you on this . I'm a pharmacist , not a doctor . And there are other customers I need to help now . I know it is frustrating when this happens.But there is nothing I can do about it . I'm sorry . +This is ridiculous ! In Taiwan , it is much easier to get medicine when I need it . +Maybe that's true . I don't know.But I'm sure in Taiwan you have prescriptions too . +Why don't you sit down and relax , darling ? +I don't want to . +Well , come over and talk to me then . +Certainly not . +May I turn on the TV then ? +Turn on the TV , for what ? +So that we can sit down together and listen to some music . +Listen to the music ? And who will cook dinner , will you ? +I will , but let's go to the disco after dinner . +To a disco ? Oh , no . You know I hate it . +Can I help you ? +I'd like to buy some Chinese-style cakes . Could you recommend me some ? +Certainly . What about moon cake ? It's typical Chinese food . +Moon cakes ? What is that ? +The moon cake is round and looks like the full moon . That's why it's called the moon cake and the moon cake symbolizes family reunion and harmony . +Sounds very interesting . I'll buy some to family people . +All the moon cakes are generally classified into two styles , Cantonese style and Suzhou style . +What's the difference between these two styles ? +The skin of Cantonese style cakes is soft and puffy with heavy stuffing while the skin of Suzhou style cakes is puffy filled with fragrant nuts . +Get me some of each . +OK , here you are . +How would you comment on the paper ? +The paper editorials always stick to the quick . +Don't you think it's a bit conservative ? +After all , I'm somewhat conservative . +That's unfair , Mom . +What's up ? Honey ! +Dad is bigger than you , but how come I'm smaller than May . +Honey , it doesn't matter . The key to play volleyball is to cooperate with each other . +What should I do ? +You go figure it out yourself . +Got it , Mom . +OK , Ben and May , here we go . Be careful , Danny , the ball is coming . That is the green one . +Mom , don't worry about me , I can do it . +Danny , back to your position . Move ! +OK . Bingo ! We win . Give me five , Mom . +What's the matter ? +Which subway should I take to get to the East Side ? +Oh , you have to take the shuttle to Grand Central . +Which train is that ? Which platform does it leave from ? +It's not on this platform . These trains are uptown and downtown , not crosstown . You have to go up these stairs over there . +Hi ! Does this hotel have an exercise facility ? +But of course ! We have a great exercise facility . +Good . Now exactly where is it ? +It's located right under our lobby . Just take the elevator or the stairs one flight down . +Is this going to cost me anything ? +No , sir . The gym is absolutely free . However , be sure to take your room key with you . +When does the gym open and close ? +The hours couldn't be better , 24/7 . +Very good . Now , is there a trainer down there ? +I wish I could tell you yes , but no , there isn't . +Can I help you ? +I'd like to buy a new mobile phone please . +Ok , would you like a phone with camera and MP3 player ? +Yes please . And I ’ d like to be able to make video calls too . +I guess you should know that you need to be hospitalized . +Of course I know . +Now you can go to the in-patient department to go through the admission procedures . +OK . I'll go right now . By the way , do you think I ’ ll have to stay in the hospital for long ? +It's hard to say . It depends on your recovery condition . But you need to stay for at least one day for observation . +Thank you , Doctor . I will go now . Bye-bye . +Bye ! +Sir , I am very glad to tell that we have successfully registered the trademark for our new product . It is the time to think of some effective promoting strategies . We are beginning to get more attention from overseas . +Well done , Fred . Do you know something useful for our promotion for our I-series ? +OK , Let me see . I suppose we must strengthen our promotion , because our brand is still new to some consumers . Maybe we should start our advertising program with our local and overseas distributors simultaneously , because they stand on a better position for selecting the best ways to advertise in market places . Besides , the advertisement fund can encourage them to spend more attention on advertising our products . +That is a good idea to start with . I also think the mass media is also a good approach for advertising . +Yes , the mass media has wider influence . One of my classmates works in an advertisement company . I can get help and inspiration from him . And we can also try some less expensive approaches of advertising , such as on-line sales . Personally , I prefer to the on-line sales , for it is cheaper , faster and wider . +Waiter , come here please . Could we have a doggie bag ? +Sure . Wait a moment . +Hi , may I speak to Ryan , please ? +This is Ryan you are speaking with . What can I do for you ? +Hi , Ryan , this is Malia , and I will not be coming to work today . +What is wrong with you ? +I have really bad poison oak and can ’ t stop itching . +How long have you had it ? +I ’ Ve had it a few days , but the rash really got bad last night . +How have you been treating it ? +I have some lotion that the doctor gave me , as well as an antihistamine . +That should work . I ’ ll see you tomorrow when you return to work . +Excuse me , you look lost.Can I help you ? +Oh , Thank you . I'm looking for the train station . +Right.Let me see.You go straight down here and turn right . +Right ? OK , got it . +Then take the next left then the next right.Are you with me ? +Next left then right ? OK . +I would like to talk to you , if you have time . +What ’ s going on ? +I want to discuss some things about my lease . +What aren ’ t you too sure about ? +Can you tell me when my lease is up ? +Your lease is for three years . +If I ever decide to leave before the three years , will there be a problem ? +If you do , I will keep your deductible . +Why is that ? +If you break the contract , then you will not receive your deductible . +Oh , I see . +All right . I ’ m glad I could clarify things for you . +Can I have my money back on this skirt ? +Anything wrong with it ? +Yes , this is defective . See ? I didn't notice this hole when I bought it . +Oh , I'm very sorry about that . You can change it for another one if you prefer . +If you have exactly the same one-same color , same design , and same size , of course . +This one is the same size and color . But the design is different . +Hey , Philip ! You won ’ t believe this ! +What ? What ’ s the good news ? +My son , Harvey just got into Harvard ! He starts next September . +That ’ s wonderful ! You must be really proud of him ! +Good morning . How are you ? +I'm very worried , doctor +Oh ? What are you worried about ? +I'm afraid that I'm very ill . +I'm sorry to hear that . Why do you think so ? +Because I feel tired all the time , even when I wake up in the morning . I find very difficult to do any work . I have no appetite . My wife cooks me delicious meals but I can only eat a little . +How do you sleep ? +Very badly , doctor . +Do you find it difficult to get to sleep , or do you wake up early ? +Both , doctor . I never get to sleep until two o'clock and I always wake up at five . +Are you worried about anything ? +Well , yes , I am . I'm worried about my work . I've just taken a new job . I earn a lot of money but it's difficult work . I'm always afraid of making a mistake . +I see . please take off your shirt and lie down on the couch . +Yes , doctor . ( The doctor examines the patient ) +Well , there's nothing very much wrong with you , I'm glad to say.You ' re working too hard and worrying too much.Do you take much exercise ? +No , doctor . I never have enough time for exercise . I start work very early in the morning and finish late in the evening . Then I can't get to sleep . Can you give me some medicine to help me to sleep ? +I can , but I'm not going to . You don't need medicine . You need advice . Don't work so hard . Too much work is bad for you . Don't worry about your work.It ' s silly to worry . Take regular exercise . +But I may lose my job , doctor ! It's hard to get a job like mine . +Then get an easier one , even if you earn less money . Which would you rather have , health or wealth ? +You're right , doctor . It's more important to be healthy than wealthy . I'll change my job . I'm grateful for your advice . +Come and see me again in a month's time . I think you'll be a different man ! +Could you call Mr . Jacob for me , Sara ? I need to go over some stuff with him . +Of course , Mr . Roberts . But , could you tell me his extension number again ? I haven ’ t got all the numbers down yet . +Sure , it ’ s 4-8- 7-2 . Don ’ t worry . You ’ re doing a fine job . +Thank you very much . Mr . Roberts . +Well , Randy , I'd say you've got a bad case of the flu . The main thing to do is get plenty of rest and drink lots of liquids . I'll prescribe something for that throat . +Thanks , doctor . Is there anything I can take for this headache ? +Some aspirin or Panadol should help . You can pick some up at the pharmacy when you go to fill your prescription . +Okay . +Goodbye , Randy . Take care . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes , what are your hours ? +We open at lo +Thanks lot . +OK , now let's go on to talk about initial deposits . +Good idea . How much do I need to deposit ? +For Agreement Savings , we ask for 100,000 RIB . +And how do I withdraw if I need to ? +You can use a Type A Agreement Savings Account the same was as a Settlement Account . +I'm sorry , refresh my mind . What's different about a Type B Account ? +With a Type B Account , it cannot be directly involved in any transaction and it cannot be applied to any external withdrawal service . +May I help you ? +My daughter . She is missing . I don ’ t know where she is . +What dose she look like ? +She has blond hair and blue eyes . +What was she wearing ? +She has a yellow dress on and red sneakers . +When did you last see her ? +I just saw her down the street . I don ’ t know where she is . I don ’ t know ... +How long has it been ? +Oh , it ’ s been uh ... fifteen minutes . +Good morning , Mr . Huang . It's a pleasure to meet you again . +Pleased to see you . Welcome to our company . I hope you have a good day . +Thank you . Can I meet my colleagues ? +Sure , come with me . Hello , Michael , this is Steven . He will be part of your team . +Hi , Steven , welcome to join us ! +I ’ Ve been looking forward to meeting you . I am new to the working world and would appreciate your guidance . +That ’ s right . Just call me if you need anything . +That's great . +Well , as the other guys are still not in , I ’ ll introduce you to them later . +All right . +You are late . +I'm sorry , it was too cold , and my car couldn't start . I had one to the garage with the heater . I tried to call you , but you couldn't get connection . +Couldn't get connection ? +Yes , your number is out of service . +Really ? I didn't know . Let me check . You're right . +So I couldn't get through . +It's a serious problem . I make expecting an important call . The theater is guilty . It supposed to call me this evening , and discuss my play . What were happened if they can't reach me ? +Well , the only thing you can do is pay the fee to recover your service . +What did you cook ? +Well , as you know I was in Thailand last month , and I took a cooking class ! So I prepared some of my favorite dishes . +Great idea ! As long as I don't get food poisoning ! So what is on the menu tonight ? +Ok , for starters we have Tom Yam soup . It's a bit spicy , but really good ! +This is delicious ! The ginger and lemongrass really gives it a nice taste ! +Now this next dish is one of the most famous . Foreigners call it papaya salad but the proper name is Tom Sam . It is a spicy salad made from a mix of fresh vegetables including shredded unripened papaya and tomato . +This is delicious ! The combination of sour and spicy is really interesting ! I could have this everyday ! +Ok , now for the last and best dish in my opinion . This is called Pad Thai . It's stir-fried noodles with eggs , fish sauce , tamarind juice , red chili pepper plus bean sprouts , shrimp and tofu and garnished with crushed peanuts and coriander . It's practically Thailand's national dish ! +Wow , this is great ! I never knew Thai food was so creative and delicious ! +Want some more ? +I'm stuffed ! +Hey Michael . Where are you going ? +No where special . I was just taking a walk . +What for ? +To get a little exercise . I'm so out of shape . +Hey , I play basketball with a bunch of friends twice a week . It's great exercise and it's fun too . Why don't you come out and play with us ? +That sounds great . Give me a call next time you guys play . +I have a problem . +What's the problem ? +My mattress was supposed to be delivered today . +Is there a problem ? +The delivery people showed up four hours late . +I apologize for their tardiness . +I was late for work because of them . +Again , I do apologize for the inconvenience . +I want my money back for the delivery . +Seeing as they were late , that won't be a problem . +It shouldn't be a problem . +I'm going to refund your money right now . +Oh , I think I broke my leg . +Here , sir . Sit down in this wheel chair . +Thanks . +The doctor will be with you in a moment . I just need to ask you a few questions . +All right . +Name , age and date of birth , please ? +James Taylor , 23 , March 30,1982 . +Health insurance company and policy No ? +I don't have it . +What ? +I don't have health insurance . +Well , this is going to be a very expensive broken leg , Mr . Taylor . +Oh ! +I'm terrible sorry . I seem to have mislaid your MP4 . +Don't worry about that . +Very sorry that I have caused you so much trouble . +No trouble at all . +Won't you let me buy a new one tomorrow ? +No , that's quite out of the question . +Please accept my deep apology . +I never did like this MP4 anyway . I won't hear of it . +How would you describe your relationship with our boss ? +We have a fairly good working relationship , but there was also a rough spot . +What do you think his strengths are ? +Well , he has an amazing ability to analyze information and he is very good at making the right decision in tough situations . +It ’ s time to get up . +I just went to bed . +You shouldn ’ t stay up so late watching TV . I told you we had to get an early start . +I know , but that movie was just too good to leave . I guess I ’ ll just have to pay the price anti-sleepy . +Do you want to eat breakfast here ? +No . why don ’ t we describe and buy at the coffee shop next door ? +Ok by me . +Hi ! Someone has reported a fault on one of your copiers . +That's right . I'm glad you're here . It hasn't been working properly for the last few days . +When was it serviced ? +Just a couple of weeks ago . It's usually very reliable . +What's actually wrong with it ? +Well , it's making a strange noise when we try to change paper trays . +I'm sure it's nothing serious , probably just a minor fault . I'll have a look at it . +I don't know , but he gives me the creeps . +Just take it easy . If he starts to bother you , let me know and I'll call security . +But what if he knows my name , where I live ... +Don't get all worked up over him . He's probably harmless . +Actually , he's really good-looking . Too bad he's a weirdo . +You never know . Maybe he's just an innocent , lonely guy ... +Now he's looking over here ! He's coming ! +OK ! I'll call security . +All right , Mr . Crane , when will you be arriving in the city ? +I should be coming in on the 11:30 mooring flight . How far is the office from the airport ? +Only 25 minutes or so . We ’ ll send somebody to meet you . That ’ s 11:30 a . m . Friday the 15th ? +That ’ s right . I ’ ll be in the baggage area . +Excuse me , I'm looking for your casual short-sleeved shirts . Can you tell me where those are ? +Right over here , sir . What size do you wear ? +Medium . +These here are all mediums . +Thank you . I think I'll take this one , and these pants as well . They're a present for a friend . +Shall I gift-wrap them for you , sir ? +Yes , please . +Hello , Doctor . +Well , What seems to be the trouble , Mr . Williams ? +It's nothing serious actually , doctor . It ’ s ... Well , I get tired very easily recently , and I often doze off during meetings , office hours and sometimes even while I'm dining . +How long has this been going on ? +About two months . I didn't pay much attention to it in the beginning , but you see , I got fired this morning . I dozed off while we were having an important meeting , right in front of the boss . I was very embarrassed . +How was your appetite ? +Pretty good , I'd say . +You haven't lost any weight , have you ? +No , doctor . I've actually put on two pounds . +Unbutton your shirt , please . +Well , doctor ? +You'll have to have some laboratory examinations to know for sure . +What examinations ? +A blood test and during test . You can come back next week , say 4 pm to see the results . +Good afternoon , you look a little stuck . Can I help ? +The thing is , I've got all of this information here , all of these leaflets , but I can't make head nor tail of them ! +I see . What is it exactly that you are interested in ? +I'm not sure which would be better for me ; buying some insurance or putting my money in a Savings Deposit . +Well , that all depends on how much you want to invest . +I was thinking of around 10,000 RIB . +That's a nice round figure to deal with ! OK , if you were to buy this insurance policy , your yearly fixed income from it would be 94.35 RIB . +And for the Savings Deposit ? +For the Savings Deposit you could actually get more . You see , in time deposit , the interest rate is 1.58 % after the 20 % interest tax . So , technically you could get more than a third more . +Wow ! A third more ? Very good . +Name and examination number , please . +My name is Han Ran , number is 050920 . +What part of the country do you come from ? +I ’ m from Living , Yunnan Province . +Where is it ? +It's a very beautiful place in Southwest China . +Do you have a big family at your hometown ? +Not very big .

I'm still single . +Something's wrong with my computer . +Exactly what ? +All I get is a black screen . +What's the matter ? +I think I know , because this happened before . +What happened before ? +My hard drive crashed . +Oh , no . That's bad news . +It sure is , but I'm going to call HP first , just to make sure . +Will you lose all your files ? +No , I always back up my files . +You're smart . +Hey , Taxi . Over here ! +Did you call for a car service +Yes , are you engaged +Not at the moment . Where would you like me to take you +I am going to the airport , and I have to catch the 930 flight to New York . +Well , it's a long way and there is roadwork near Broadway . I am not sure I can snake it in half an hour . +But I can't miss the flight . It's an important meeting and it ’ s waiting for me . +All right , I will try my best . If there aren ’ t any holdups , I think we can get there in time . +That's great . How much is it to the airport +About $ 25 , tips not included . +Fine . Will you please help me with the luggage +Oh , yes , sure . Let me put it in the boot . +Thanks very much . +Not at all . Bang the door , please . +Ok , let's hurry . +You are in luck .

I'm sorry . I did not know that . +I'm going to give you a ticket . +Why can't you just let me off with a warning ? +It's just a ticket . +How much is the fine ? +The judge will let you know . +I have to be at court ? +Of course . +All right . Just give me the ticket . +Hi , did you call for an exterminator ? +Yes ! Thank goodness you ’ re here.These bugs are driving us crazy ! +What sort of pest are we dealing with ? +We just bought this house and it is infected with just about everything . We have termites in the wood , cockroaches all over the place , and last night I saw a huge rat out in the backyard ! +Well , there ’ s nothing we can ’ t handle . I ’ ll spray the floorboards and walls to get rid of the cockroaches , but the termites will be harder to get rid of . We will have to cover the entire house and fu +No problem , just get rid of the bugs ! +do you remember where you were for the terrorist attacks on 9-11 ? +yes , I was in my apartment in Beijing . Where were you ? +I was at home with my parents in New York City . +really ? Did you see the hijacked planes crash into and destroy the twin towers ? +I didn't see the crash itself , but I did see the smoke and everything afterwards from my parents ' apartment building . +that must have been horrible . Did you go out at all that day to see what was going on ? +no , we decided to stay in our apartment . With all the buses out of service and the underground trains at a halt , many people had no choice but to walk home . It was utter chaos . +did you know anyone who worked in the World Trade Center ? +yes , my uncle's firm had an office in one of the towers . +did he survive ? +unfortunately , he wasn't able to evacuate in time . He ended up dying in the tower . +I'm sorry . That must have really been a nightmarish day for you and your family . +it was .

I ’ ll get back to work , now . +Excuse me . I'm looking for an old music box . +Any particular decade ? +Something made in the ' 20s would be nice . +We had seven , but we sold one this morning . +Are dancing figures a part of any of the boxes ? +You're in luck . Two of them have dancing figures . +Oh , these are great . I think I'll take this one . +Yes , that one is very nice . +Now , does this come with a warranty ? +I'm sorry , but you just have to take your chances . +That doesn't surprise me . +Even if it doesn't work , it's a beautiful collectible . +Why not go to the supermarket today , the coupon will be past due in three days . +Sure . Can we use it in Today Supermarket ? +Let me check . Yes , we can . +I really don't know what to buy . +I've read your report , and I'm not sure I agree with you.You think you can get attendance improved by requiring salaried employees to take their all of their sick days ? +That's right . I know it must sound crazy to you , but we believe there will be fewer absences this way . +We give them 10 or 15 sick days per year . Surely requiring people to take them couldn't possibly help . It sounds like a counter - productive policy change to me . +Right now , we have incentives encouraging employees to come to work as often as possible.But employees with colds and the flu are coming to work and infecting their colleagues . +I see . So our current policies are encouraging sick people to come to work , resulting in more sick employees . +That's right . If sick days were mandatory , sick people would stay home . We wouldn't have these company-wide epidemics . +Let's give it a shot ! +Can you loan me fifty dollars until pay day ? +I'm sorry I've already gone through my paycheck for the week . +Thank you just the same . +Mommy , can I stay up until eleven o'clock ? +No . Go to bed right now . +Have you been served , sir ? +I am just looking , thank you ... Excuse me . Can you tell me where I can buy a pair of shoes ? +It's on the fourth floor . +Thank you . +Would you mind if I ask your health status ? +I just had a complete physical examination and passed with flying colors . +That is good . We hope each of our future employees will be healthy and happy . +I understand that . +This website offers very convenient air tickets booking service . It is quick and accurate . +Yes , I once booked there . They give the immediate confirm information and flight information to both your mobile phone and e-mail . You can conveniently pay by credit card , so the whole transaction only takes a couple of minutes . They also provide e-tickets , meaning you don ’ t need to go to any office to pick an air ticket . You go to the airport directly and check in with your ID card . +So it has attracted more and more customers these days . +Yes , therefore they are expanding the scope of their service . For example , hotels can be booked through the same site as well . +Where can I park my car ? +You need to get a car tag first . There's a one hundred Yuan deposit for the car tag . +Okay . Here you are . +Thank you . We'll bring the receipt up to your room when we get it . +Good morning , Miss Cai . Congratulations ! You ’ Ve passed the interview . +Good morning , Mr . Yang . Thank you very much . Can I work now ? +Oh . Take it easy . As I ’ Ve said in the interview , once you are employed , we ’ ll give you a probation period of three months . And now we need to sign a draft agreement for the probation period . +I am sorry , I am just too excited and forget it . Can I look it through ? +Of course , here you are . And you can ask me any question . +Well , I am sorry that I have a question . There is no remuneration item in this agreement . Can you tell me something about it ? +Well , according to the principle of our company , employees like you have no remuneration during the probation period . +But you didn ’ t tell me in the interview . +I am sorry , it ’ s not decided by me but by the company . +Okay , I can ’ t decide whether sign or not now . Can you give me some time to think it over ? +Okay . Can you give me a reply tomorrow ? +Yes . Thank you very much . Mr .

By the way , are you pressed for the time ? +No , I'm not.you can just drive slowly and carefully . +OK . +You are very skillful driver . +Thank you . +By the way , is the fair the same for any distance ? +No . It versa according to the distance , you can read from the meter . +Oh , I see . +ok , so what have you got in store for me tonight ? +I'm really sorry , Ethan . I tried so hard , but I'm afraid I could't find a Dutch restaurant in town . The best I could do was a German one about 15 minutes from here . +what ? I don't understand . +I though you said you wanted to have Dutch food ? +Oh ! Ha-ha ! That's not what I mean when I said ' go Dutch ' ! +Huh ? What were you talking about , then ? +' going Dutch ' means to split the bill , silly ! +oath ... that makes so much more sense ! Ha-ha . Well , great , I don't like German food anyway ! +I'm famished ! Let's get some grub ! +I'm in the mood for some chips and salsa . +Me , too !

I'll do whatever I can . +I would like to open an account today . +What kind ? +I want to open a checking account . +You need to keep a minimum balance . +How much is it ? +You need at least $ 100 in your account . +Is that all ? +Yes .

A company car , and a company pension scheme . Is that acceptable to you ? +I think so . +Excellent . Well , thank you very much , Mr .

I am sure this one works very well . I just sent dozens of pages . How many pages are you sending ? Are you familiar with my fax machine ? +Yes , I think you have the same model as I have . Does your fax machine print out immediately a transmission protocol ? +Yes , it will print immediately . +Could you tell me how to use the washer and dryer ? +What do you need help with ? +Do you know how to turn them on ? +Do you have any change ? +I need change for the machines ? +You need to put 50 cents into the washer machine and a dollar into the dryer . +So what do I need to do ? +The machines will turn on once you put the quarters into the slot . +That's really all I have to do ? +That's everything . +Thanks for all your help . +I'm here if you need any more help . +What can I do for you ? +I wish to buy a diamond ring . +How many carats diamond do you want ? +Two carats . +Is this one suit for you ? +No , it seems too old-fashioned . +What about this ? +Let me try it on , it's too small for me , haven't you got any larger ones ? +Yes , try this one please . +This fits me well , how much is it ? +3,500 yuan . +It's reasonable .

I bought this magazine in order to get some ideas . What do you think of this ? +That looks good . The room in the picture is bigger than your bedroom , so you wouldn ’ t be able to have all that furniture in your room . +I ’ d like to have the bed and the wardrobe . +You would fit both of them in your bedroom . Perhaps you could also get the dressing table . I think that one would look good in your bedroom . +Yes , it would . It ’ s very expensive though . +Everything in this magazine seems expensive . You could probably find something similar in a discount store . +Yes . I ’ m sure I could find something similar at one . I ’ d also like to get a new carpet for my bedroom . +You can get cheap carpets easily . Another idea is to buy a rug . That would cover a lot of the carpet and you wouldn ’ t have to replace the carpet . It would save you a lot of work . +That ’ s a good idea . I ’ m really looking forward to redoing my bedroom . +How much does it cost to hire a motorbike ? +For 3 days $ 300 , for 7 days $ 600 . +Good . I think I'll hire one for 7 days . +Okay .

( The attendant hands the customer his order . ) +That'll be $ 4.25 ... ( The customer gives her a 5 dollar bill . ) ... out of five . Here is your change , sir . Have a nice day . +Tonight is a party night ! What drinks do you think we need ? +Well , not everyone wants to drink beer . Make sure there are some soft drinks and juice . Nothing ’ s as refreshing as iced drinks on a hot day . +I don ’ t think we need too much in the way of soft drinks . Two super bottles of Cola should cover everyone . What about wine ? +Just buy a cask of wine . Have you bought ice yet ? +No , once I fill the tub with beer , I ’ ll get the ice . The beer will be cool if you put the tub under the ice . The cooler , the better . +I think a bottle of champagne would be a good idea . It ’ s appetizing and tasty . +Well , if you say so . Personally speaking , I ’ d rather die of thirst than drink champagne . +You have any ideas as to what you want to do this weekend ? +I'm going to the movie theater with my friend . What are you going to do ? +I'm not quite sure yet . +How about you see a movie with me and my friend ? +What movie are you and your friend planning on watching ? +Not sure . Is there a movie out that catches your eye ? +No good movies come to mind . +Have you decided whether or not you would like to go ? +No , thanks . Maybe another time . +For sure another day . +There ’ s a big sale on clothes and sporting goods at Riverside Mall . +Sporting goods ? Is that bike Tim wanted on sale ? +Yeah , it ’ s 30 percent off the regular price . +Well , maybe we could get it now and hide it until his birthday . +Yeah , it ’ s a couple weeks away , and we don ’ t have anything yet . +Don ’ t buy him underwear again . He hates that . +I know , I know , but if I didn ’ t buy it for him , he ’ d never buy it . +See anything else we need there ? +Well , all shoes are 20 percent off . +Shoes ? You already have a closet full of shoes . +I know , but another pair can ’ t hurt . +Oh , all right . I need some new shirts , too . Let ’ s go after breakfast . +Hello , Mr . Brown . +Hello . Can you help me ? +Yes , I'm here to fix your pipes . +Oh good , come in , please . +You are going to be really jealous when you find out where I ’ m headed for the holidays ! +Don ’ t tell me ! I ’ m sure it ’ s someplace warm and sunny with great beaches ! +You got it ! I ’ m going to spend two fabulous weeks in Hawaii ! +You are so lucky ! Send me a postcard ! +Good morning , Japan Airline domestic reservations . Can I help you ? +Yes . I Would like make a reservation to Huston for tomorrow . +The flight to Huston takes off daily every two hours from 6:00 to 11:00 pm . So you don't need a reservation . Seats are available on a ' first come , first served ' basis . +Oh , that's quite convenient . Thank you . +Now that we know what kind of music we will play , we have to decide what each of us will do . +Well , I love hip hop dancing , so I should probably dance . Do you know how to rap ? +Oh yeah ! I'm a great rapper . And I know all the Vanilla Ice lyrics by heart . +Excellent . I'll start practicing my dance moves . +How are you ? +I ’ m great . Thank you for asking . +What can I do for you ? +Do I owe any fees ? +You sure do . +Could you tell me how much I owe ? +You owe $ 235.13 in fees . +I can ’ t believe that . +When will you be paying these fees off ? +I ’ ll pay them off right now . +Cash or check ? +I will pay with cash . +Hello , this is Sunshine Trading Company . Can I help you ? +Yes . I want to apply for the accountant in your corporation and I think it is not beyond attainment . +Great . Could you tell me something about cash control ? +Yes , of course . In accounting , cash means all items that are acceptable for depositing in a bank . +I'm quite upset ! I want a new room and a refund for tonight . +Forgive me , sir , I haven't been told what the problem is . +I'm about to be swept away by millions of cockroaches ! +My apologies , sir . We'll transfer you to a new room at once and give you a full refund . +Thank you . I didn't want to have to take this to court . +Sir , we never want a guest to stay here mad or unhappy . +Where do you see yourself three years from now ? +Working for your company ! As the top administrative assistant in your firm ! +Good answer , Miss Zhang-good answer ! Seriously , though , are you interested in staying in a staff-level position , or would you hope to move into management someday ? +Well , I haven't thought much about this . I think it's too early to tell . What is the most important for me now is to do the best possible job for the company and learn and develop my skills as much as possible . If the company is happy with my work , then , I think I would like to consider other positions in the company . +Fine . What kind of relationship do you think should exist between a boss and his or her employees ? +Well , a working relationship . I think a company is a place to get work done . Certainly friendly , open relationships among all company employees is important . But I think an employee should be serious about his or her work responsibilities and have a working relationship with the boss . +That man's really a bore to me . +Which one do you mean ? +The man with his hair cropped . +Hello , Lucy , I heard you did a good deal in interview . +It's OK . +What did you do in the interview ? +I observed the interviewer's manner , mien and gesture carefully besides paying attention to mine . +Are all these helpful for the interview ? +Of course . The manner of shaking hands can show a man ’ s character . For example , the interviewer who shakes your hand lightly , is a easygoing man although he looks cool . +Anything else ? +You can discover interviewer's eyes because they can show his thoughts , and can judge whether he is interested in your words by his gesture and mien . +what are your strong points ? +well , I ’ m very good with people . I ’ m honorable . I work hard . I work well under pressure . And I ’ m patient . +what kind of people do you like to work with ? +I like a person who works hard . I don ’ t like lazy people . +what ’ s your greatest strength ? +well , this is a challenging question . I suppose I would say that I ’ m a quick learner . +so , you ’ re smart . +I think so . I think that I am good at what I do . +what do you consider your weakness ? +I ’ m not good at speaking in public . I feel uncomfortable when I speak in public . +that ’ s not a problem . It ’ s unnecessary for this position . +Couldn't you extend the delivery period by two weeks ? That would make things much easier for us . +Well , you know the time of shipment means a lot to us . +I can understand , but our company is fully committed at the moment , and hundreds of clients are placing orders for delivery these days . +I see.OK , that's agreed then . +What is your favorite coffee ? +Irish coffee is my favorite . But I'm not particular on it . +All right . Would you make coffee yourself when you are at home ? +Not very often . Making coffee is a bit troublesome . Most of the time , I just buy takeout at Starbucks . And also , I quite like instant coffee . +I think instant coffee is becoming more and more popular . Though its taste is not perfect , it's really cheap and convenient . +Exactly . Nescafe is the world's favorite coffee . People love it all over the world . +I agree . I heard that in the western countries , almost everyone likes coffee . Is that true ? +Yes . No doubt about that . For us , coffee is more a living style rather than a simple drink . I heard Chinese people don't drink that much coffee . +No , we don't , especially the elder people . But more and more young people fall for coffee nowadays . +I suppose so . That's probably why there are so many wonderful coffee houses in China now . +I really want to get something to eat . +What are you going to get ? +I don't know what I want to eat . +Well , do you want burgers , Chinese food , or Mexican food ? +Chinese food sounds good . +Where are you going to get it from ? +I haven't the slightest idea . +I usually get my Chinese food from Panda Express . +You like Panda Express ? +The food there is actually pretty good . +Maybe I'll go there then . +You should . I know you'll like it . +Ann , stop bugging Jess and help me order something new . Lattes are so passe these days . +Why don't you try an Americano ? Espresso with water . +Sounds a little weak . +Go with a hammerhead then-espresso mixed with drip coffee . +Sounds better , but I hope it doesn't inspire me to take a hammer to the client's head . +Don't worry , James . We'll get this case worked out in no time . +when do most children start school in your country ? +In America , most children start primary school at the age of five . +How much time do primary school students usually spend at school every day ? +Kindergarten students usually only go to school for about four hours every day , but after that , they spend about eight hours in school every day . +do they have to go to school on Saturdays ? +no , most children in America only go to school Monday through Friday . +how many subjects do they have to study ? +In most schools , they study about nine subjects . +do students have to wear uniforms in schools in America ? +some private schools require their students to wear uniforms , but public schools don't . +did you go to a public school or a private school ? +I went to a private school for elementary school and university , but went to a public school for high school . What about you ? +I went to a boarding school from nursery school to senior high school . +did you have to wear uniforms ? +yes , they were horrible . We had to wear green every day ! +at least you didn't waste time thinking about what you were going to wear every day ! +that's true ! +... Now , that's all I want to say about world coal reserves . So let's move on to the next topic , renewable resources . There are three things we have to consider when talking about renewable resources . First , sustainability ; second , marketability ; lastly , the reality factor . Let's talk about each point in more detail ... John , would you like to take it from here ? +Certainly . As my colleague just mentioned , sustainability is a major concern when examining the potential output of a resource . Of course , as you can see from the content of our presentation today , with renewable resource , there is a much larger sustainability than with non-renewable resource . +Have you got anything for diarrhea ? +Yes , here you are . These tablets are very effective . +How should I take this medicine ? +Take two tablets every six hours . +I see . I'll follow your instructions . +And take a good rest for a few days . +Thank you . +Hello , sir . Is there anything I can help you find ? +Um ... Uh ... I'm just looking , thanks . +Need a gift for your girlfriend or wife ? +No , no , no . I'm just browsing . Thanks anyway . +Well , if you need anything , just ask . +Um ... well , where's the men's shoe department ? +It's on the third floor . Turn left when you get off the escalator . +I absolutely love what you're wearing today . +You do ? I just bought this outfit a couple days ago . +Seriously , it looks really nice on you . Where did you buy it from ? +I bought it from the Macy's at the Santa Anita mall . +I really like that outfit . +Thanks . I think you look nice today , too . +Thank you . I just bought these new shoes earlier today . +Those are nice . What are they ? +These are some Chucks . +Those are great . How much were they ? +I got them for forty . +I think I might go and find me my own pair of Chucks . +This is a great meal ! +Thank you . I am glad that everything turned out so well . +Who taught you how to cook this well ? +I took a cooking class at the Culinary Institute . +Wow , what is in this chicken dish ? +Isn't that great ? That is coconut ginger chicken with rice . +Is the soup a shrimp soup ? +Yes , there is shrimp in there along with sea vegetables and lemon grass . +I think I got lucky in choosing a wine that blends with this meal . +I appreciate you bringing the wine . It goes well with the chicken . +Have you any tour route to Budapest ? +Yes , I have , sir . How long are you going on vacation ? +About 2 weeks . +I recommend you this route . We call it golden routes for the sightseeing spots . +Well , will you offer me any reduction since it's a out-of-season tour ? +Of course , we will , sir . +We have a holiday next week , don't we ? +Yes , on Monday . +What're you going to do ? +I'm probably going to spend the day looking at cars . +At cars ! You aren't thinking about buying a car , are you ? +Yes , I am . I'd like to be able to get around a little more . +But it will be expensive to have a car in the city , won't it ? +Oh , I don't know.Of course , gasoline costs a lot these days . +But what about parking ? You can't park on the street , can you ? +A lot of people do . I'll try it for a while anyway , but I certainly don't want to pay a lot of parking tickets . +Ah , Oh ! Are you hurt ? +I don't think so . I'm just shaken up a little . +Maybe I'd better call an ambulance . +No , don't bother . I think I'm OK . +Are you sure ? +Yes , it's OK . +Hello . Holiday Inn . How can I help you ? +Yes . I booked a single room in your hotel for this Friday . But I ’ m sorry to say that I have to cancel it . My wife is very sick now .

We've already been here two hours . +But we should get you some shirts while we're here . You need summer shirts . +I would rather buy them somewhere else . +Why ? They have everything here . +I don't like shopping in malls . I like shopping on the street . There is more variety . +Let's just look and see what they have . +Alright . +What about these shirts ? Do you see anything you like ? +The styles here are too boring for me . I told you . I like street shopping . +Oh , come on ! Don't be so sour . These are beautiful shirts .

I've come here to inquire whether I can get a visa to your country ? +What do you want to go to US for ? +I have been invited to teach Chinese at the University of Hawaii for two years . +Can I have a look at your letter of acceptance ? +Of course .

But we need to take out more water . So it then passes through a series of rollers , where more water is squeezed out . After that it goes through the dryers , which are at a very high temperature . The paper is then coated .

It saves us from so much work and makes the communication even around the world much easier . +Fully agree . I do enjoy the convenience though I am still a beginner in using Excel . The latest office equipment is more type-functional . It combines fax machine , copy machine and printer in one . It saves a lot of place , one machine instead of three . +Yes , this machine is even smaller than those before . +When will we get one of those ? +You know our boss always trying to save the last penny .

Chandler will be our new partner , so his visit this time will be extremely important for our cooperation in future , because it may decide whether Mr . Chandler sign the trade contract with us or not . Do you have some idea ? +I suppose we can bring him to visit our company , as well as our display room . In this way , he can know more about our company and our potential power . In my opinion , visiting the factory will help him learn our manufacturing process very much . +En , you are right , and he will trust us and maybe the contract will be signed soon . But remember to keep some skills of our manufacturing secret . On one hand , show his our best side ; on the other hand , do not show too much to protect our own business secrets . +Well , I understand . +Please make a detailed schedule on the visit this afternoon . +Are you making what I think you're making ? +Nothing but the best , Cinnamon toast . +What a nostalgic food ! +Why the drama ?

You can stay in my house for the night if you would like to . +Yeah . By the way , can I take a shower ? +Sure , but I don't have hot water , yet . +Really ? +No , they're coming tomorrow morning to turn the gas on . My phone should be working then , too . +Well , do you want to go outside for dinner ? +Yeah , I can't cook anything until tomorrow , anyway . Let's go to the restaurant nearby . It's my treat . +OK . Let's go . +Please tell us the exact time when the big fire broke out . +The exact time ? Let me think . You know , it happened at night . +But we need the exact time . What time ? +Oh , I remember . It was about 10 o'clock . When I was about to go to bed , suddenly I heard help outside . +Where's the nearest bank ? +It's just around the corner +Broadway Mall is having a big sale this weekend . You wanna go ? +Don't feel like it . I'm broke . +Well , we can still do some window shopping , can't we ? +Just look around ? Ah , that's boring . +I'll go myself then . +Boris , look at this sentence . " Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies , staying unrealistically thin , or depriving yourself of foods you love . " It's interesting , isn't it ? +I'd rather say it's confusing . what are those " strict nutrition philosophies " about ? +I believe they are careful calculations on proteins , vitamins and calories . +Probably , Iris . That must be the job of nutritionists . +Healthy eating is not about depriving oneself of the foods one loves . So we are free to have whatever foods we love . It is unbelievable . +Oh , believe it or not , I came across an article the other day , saying that pizza is a healthy food . +Seriously ? +Yes , I felt exactly the same way as you did just now . Scientists must be crazy in saying so . +Maybe nowadays people hold different opinions on healthy diet . +Absolutely . I myself sometimes believe that healthy eating is just about feeling great . As long as I have enough energy , it's fine . +But one must have some basic ideas about nutrition and find the best way for it to work out for the body . +Who wants to go first ? Lily ? +Oh ... I mostly just like to listen . You're the groom . Why don't you go first ? +OK.Put on something by the Backstreet Boys ! +How about As Long as You Love Me ? You can pretend you're singing it to your fiancee Brooke ! +I'd better not . Brooke hates the Backstreet Boys ! +John , you have done a good job . Our new series computer is appreciated by the guests . They intend to sign contracts with our company . You really did a good job . +Thank you . I can't imagine the design of the new computer is so popular among computer users . +Hah , as the sale department director of our team , you are the best . +I am flattered . But I am not sure whether the manager is satisfied with it . She asked me to her office . +Why not ? You've done so well for the company . She should give you a prize . +I feel nervous when I face her . She looks so serious when we have a conversation all the time . +Come on ! What are you nervous about ? +It is said that the sales for the new computer did not meet the expectation . +But the sale number is close to the predicted amount . +I'm still nervous . I don't know what to say to the manager . I always feel ill at ease in that kind of place . +Take it easy . Be confident . I'm sure you can do it . +Can I help you , Miss ? +Yes . I have just got lost with my firiend.Can you page my friend for me ? +OK , tell me your friend's name . +Here is his passport.Thank you very much . +I am not sure what to do to get ready for my job interview . +Make sure that you understand the company . Do you understand what it is that they do ? +No , I probably need to do some more research . +When you've finished your research it will help you figure out whether your company is rigid in philosophy or kind of more relaxed . Does that make sense ? +I think that their attitude is rather casual . +So all of that information will help you to pick out what to wear . Do you have something to wear ? +I have absolutely nothing so far . +You know I could go shopping with you sometime if you need it , but can we talk about other basics ? +Yes , where should we go from here ? +Focus on being relaxed and open , don't forget to smile and shake hands and be genuinely interested in what their company is about . I'm sure you'll do well . +What can I do for you , madam ? +I'd like to buy a toy car for my son . +How about this one ? +It looks nice.How much is it ? +They're three hundred dollars . +Oh , I'm afraid it's too expensive.Can you show me something cheaper ? +OK , This one is one hundred and twenty.It ' s the cheapest here . +OK , I'll take it.Here ' s the money . +Thank you very much . +Good morning . Could I speak to Frans Smith please ? +Frans Smith ? I think you may have the wrong number . +Is this Taiwan 8234342 2 , DS engineering ? +It is . But there is no Frans Smith here . Do you know which department he works in ? +The accounts department , I think . +The accounts department , no problem . I'm just putting you through now . +How did you get it ? +I found it a garage sale once . +What a find ! So , how much does it cost ? +Well , because I like you ... ninety bucks . +Ninety dollars is pretty steep . I'll take it for sixty bucks . +What can I do for you ? +I'm looking for the cameras . +They're in Aisle Two . +Hey , Jack , I'd better go now . +Is your boss coming by ? +Right ! And I have to finish the report by 5:30 p . m . +Okay . Get back to your work , and call me back this evening . +Okay , no problem . Bye ! +Bye ! +I think we have everything in the contract . Shall we sign it ? +Wait a minute . I think we have missed an important point . We should include an arbitration clause in the contract . +I believe we can solve disputes through an amicable negotiation . +I hope so . too . But I still think the provision of arbitration is of great importance to both of us . +All right . I agree with you . But where do we hold arbitration ? +I suggest the arbitration be held in a third country . +It sounds reasonable . The clause should be like this - any disputes arising from the execution of this contract shall be settled in a friendly way . If no settlement can be reached through consul - nation and conciliation , the disputes shall be submitted for arbitration by a mutually nominated arbitrator . The arbitrator's decision on the dispute is final and binding on the both parties . +Ok . +Here we are , Ryan ! This is where we're going to celebrate ! +It's a ETV palace ! I'm glad I brought my platinum card . +You won't need it . Stanley , my best man , is going to treat everybody ! +Where is Stanley ? It was his idea to have the bachelor's party at a ETV , wasn't it ? +If it were up to Stanley , we'd have the wedding in the ETV ! He loves to sing . +Then I bet he's really good ! +Well , uh , I'll let you decide that for yourself . He'll be here a little later . Here's our room ! +How nice these sunglasses are ! +Yes , they are the latest designs . Would you like to try them on ? +I want to try on this pair . +The round shape pair ? +That's right . +I think it suits you well . +I agree , how much ? +120 yuan . +It's not expensive . OK . I'll take them . +I am Liu Yi , from China XYZ Company . I ’ d like to see Mr . Thomas , please . +Do you have an appointment , Mr . Liu ? +No , I am afraid not . I just arrive in town today . +Mr . Thomas is quite busy , I ’ m afraid he won ’ t be able to see you today . +Would you please ask when he will be free ? +Have a seat please while I call . +Hi , Bob . +How did you do on your driving test ? +Passed . +That's great and it was your first try . +Freeze ! Police ! Put your hands over your head ! +What did I do ? I haven't done anything . +You're under arrest for concealing illegal drugs . +What do you mean ? +You are suspected of hiding illegal drugs . So we are taking you into custody . +I didn't do anything . +We've found some heroin at your house . +No , I didn't . I'm innocent . Those aren't mine . Whatever you found is someone else's stuff . You can't prove anything . I wasn't there when you went in , and you can't prove it's my stuff . +That may be , but you're still under arrest . And you'd better stop talking . +I don't need your help , jerk . +Whatever you say . +I know that you are interested in our washers . +Yes , we are thinking of placing an order . However we would like to know what kinds of machines are available for export and in addition your sales terms , including mode of payment , discount and possible date of delivery . +We supply washers of all types and sizes . We have years of experience in the manufacture of washers . +We have read about this in your sales literature . Could you give us some idea of your prices ? +Our prices compare favorably with those offered by other manufactures either in Europe or anywhere else . Here are our latest price lists . You will see that our prices are very attractive . +Do you take special orders ? That is , do you make machines according to the specific requirements from clients ? +Sure , we do . +How long does it usually take you to make delivery ? +As a rule , we deliver all our orders within three months after receipt of relevant L / C . It takes longer , of course , for special orders . In no case would it take longer than six months . +Good . One more thing , we'd like you to quote us on CIF basis . +Okay . No problem . +How much is it ? +6 500 yuan . You will get it on the price tag . +It s a little overpriced . Is there any discount on this laptop ? +Its already very cheap . Let's make it 6 000 yuan . +I ’ d buy this if it were cheaper . How about 5 000 yuan ? +Hum ... I say 5 500 yuan . That's as cheap as it can get . +Is it the final price ? +I'm sorry , this is our rock bottom price . +Alright , I ’ ll buy this one . +Hi , excuse me . I am sorry to bug you , but do you know where the Royal Hotel is ? +Just a minute . I am as busy as a bee right now ... Ok , I am done . What can I do for you ? +Well , I seem to be a little bit lost here . I am worried that I ’ ll never find my way . What's worse . I forgot my glasses and as blind as a bat now . +Well , keep you chin up ! I ’ ll try to help you . Where are you going ? +I am trying to get to the Royal Hotel . Do you know where that is ? +Yes , no problem . You walk down this street . You turn left at the first intersection . Walk along that road , turn right at the corner . After that , you make a left-hand turn at the first traffic light . The Royal Hotel is on your right side . +Great . Are there any landmarks nearby ? +Yeah , I think so . I think the hotel is right across the street from a post office . It is as plain as the hump on a camel . You can't miss it . +Oh , that's good . I should be able to find it pretty easily then . Is that far from here ? +Yeah , it ’ s gonna take you a while if you go by foot . I ’ d say it's about a 30 - minute uphill walk . You have to be as strong as a lion to make it . +Oh , that will take too long and I am kind of in a hurry . Can I take a bus there ? +Well , you could take a bus there , but you would have to transfer buses twice . A taxi would probably be a lot quicker . +All right . I guess I'll take a taxi then . How long will it take by taxi ? +Not too long . It should take about ten mins by taxi . +Cool , thanks . +You are welcome . +Are you ready to order , sir ? +Yes . Can you show me the menu , please ? +Of course . Here you are . +Then , what's special tonight ? +Our seafood is fresh . I recommend shrimp with garlic . +All right . We'll have some seafood and vegetables . +Mr . Emory ? I ’ d appreciate it if you would look over these letters before you leave today . +I ’ d be glad to . Just leave them on my desk . I didn ’ t expect you to finish so soon . +Thank you , sir . I ’ ll leave them here . If there are no problems , I ’ ll mail them out this afternoon . +Great . Good work . +Hang out the clothes . +But it's raining . +we'd like to rent a flat near the university . +are you looking for somewhere for two people ? +yes , we are . obviously , we'd like something as cheap as possible . we've heard that there are places for 80 to 100 pounds a month . +yes , there are several place available in that price range near the university . do you have any other requirements ? +net really , no . we'd preferably like to live in a quiet street . +how many rooms do you need in the flat ? +we'll need two bedrooms . the kitchen and dining room can be separate or combined . +ok . i've got a list of place that fit your requirements . let's just go through them . the first on the list costs 80 pounds a month , but it's on a noisy street and it's a little far from t +how far away is it from the campus ? +it's about two miles away . that might be a little far to walk . here's one that's about half a mile from the campus . the cost is 100 pounds a month and it's on a small street , just off a +that sounds ideal . can we go to have a look at it ? we'd like to see it before making a final decision . +of course . i'm not very busy at the moment . if you can wait for about 15 or 20 minutes . i can take you there . +thank you . that would be great . +I'm getting so paunchy that I'm afraid I have to buy a new belt to-morrow , and I think I must go on a diet . +You are just a little bit chubby , not paunchy . +You know , I'm a compulsive overeater . I got to watch what I eat . +More physical exercise may help to keep your weight down . +You said it . +May I speak to Mr . Thomas ? +Unfortunately , he has left for the day . +I hate to trouble of you . But it is urgent . Please leave this message into him +I ’ ll make sure he gets the message . +Did you even bother to go to school today ? +Yeah , I went . Did you go ? +No , I didn't feel like it . +That's nice , have you been to the movies lately ? +No , but that was a random change of subject . +It may have been random , but have you ? +I haven't lately . +I would love to catch a movie this weekend . +So then , why don't you just go ? +I don't want to see a movie by myself . +Okay , so are you going to school tomorrow ? +I think I might just go to the movies . +The bartender just gave the last call . Let's order another round , okay ? +Sure , but let's get a pitcher this time . We should be able to down it before they close . +That sounds good . You order the beer while I go to the bathroom . Where is the can in this place ? +It's all the way to the back . See that yellow door ? +Yeah . I think I can find it . +You're back already . That sure was quick . +That's because I just took one step inside and turned right around . That bathroom is too gross for me . +Well , the bartender wouldn't give me the pitcher of beer.Anyway.He said it was too close to closing time . +Let's leave then . I could take some fresh air , anyway . +Okay , let's go ! +May I have the menu , please ? +Oh . I am sorry , here you are . May I suggest our lunch special ? +Could I have a few more minutes ? +Of course . I will be here minutes later . +Oh great ! This stupid computer froze again ! That's the third time today ! Hey Samuel , can you come take a look at my PC ? It's acting again . It must have a virus or something . +I ran a virus scan on your computer , and it turns out that you have a lot of infected files ! +But I'm quite careful when I'm browsing the internet , I have no idea how I could have picked a virus . +Well , you have to make sure that your anti-virus software is updated regularly.yours wasn't up to date , that ’ s probably what was causing your problems . +Ok . Anything else ? +Yeah , try not to kick or hit the computer ! +Um yeah.Sorry about that . +I want to reserve a VIP room at 7:00 this evening . +OK , sir . How many people are there in your party ? +8 . Is your VIP room big enough for 8 persons ? +Of course . +May , look at this mess ! You threw waste everywhere . +It ’ s not my fault . Daniel always sends things flying . +Do you have any experience working with a computer ? +Yes .

It can't be too difficult , and I've got a quick mind . I can handle any problem you give me . +Can you believe her ? She is not even a hundred pounds and she is going off on how she wants to go on a diet . +Tell me about it . If I was as small as her , I wouldn't think about going on a diet . +Me too . But what are we going to do ? I have been on 4 different diets and I can't seem to lose weight . +That's because you don't exercise . If you were more active , you wouldn't have a dieting problem . +What do you know ? You are over weight too . +I'm not on a diet though . +I know . But I don't have someone to diet with . If we help each other and motivate each other , then I think we can lose some weight . +I like ice cream too much though . +C'mon . You'll feel better and look better and as a reward you can eat a little bit of ice cream here and there . +It does sound appealing . +It's a great idea . I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier . Going on a diet with a friend to back you up is a great way to succeed . +Okay . I'm in . Let's do it . +Great . I'll get our plan started right away . +Can we start tomorrow though ? +Excuse me , is this the right counter for express mail ? +Yes , it is . What can I do for you ? +I want to send some important documents to Canada for my postgraduate admission . +Are they urgent , please ? +Yes , the deadline for applying is 1st Feb , so I hope they will arrive in 3 days . +Well , DHL is famous for its speed and reliability . It is the fastest international postal service available . The document will arrive in two or three days . +Really ? But can you guarantee the safety ? +Yes , I promise .

May I have your name , please ? +My name is Woody . +OK , Woody . Why are you interested in this job ? +Because I admire your company . Yours is one of the most effective and respectable companies in this city . +Have you worked anywhere else before ? +Yes , five years ago . I began to work in a fashion company in Shanghai . Two years ago , I came to Beijing , and worked in a department store as a salesman . +OK , your work experience is impressive , and I think you sound right for this position , but I do have 3 other people to interview , so you'll be hearing from us within a week . +Thanks . +You should save some money on parking here . +Yeah , I don ’ t have to pay for a space on the street . +Really ? How long did it take you to find a spot yesterday ? +Well , last night it took me half an hour to find a spot when I came home from work . +You get home late , don ’ t you ? +Yeah , around seven . Most of the street parking is gone by then . +Ah , well . You can ’ t have everything . +Yeah . I can live with it . It ’ s great to be living alone . +How about this opera given by the famous musician ? +Fair to middling . A little hard to appreciate . +Foreign Currency Deposits Counter , yes . What can I do for you ? +You see , I have these Euros , and of course they are of no use to me at the moment . So I'd like to save them in my account , but I'm not sure how to go about it . +OK . We offer 2 types of saving systems , Time Savings and Demand Savings . With Time Savings your money cannot be withdrawn for a certain period of time , but with Demand Savings your money is ' on demand ' , you can withdraw at any time . +I see . What's the interest like on those ? +There's quite a large difference . I mean , if you were to use demand deposit we could give you 0.13 % interest , but for a time deposit , of say , 1 year we would offer 0.82 % . +Yes , I couldn't agree with you more . A 1 year time deposit it is ! +Thanks for inviting me over for dinner this evening . +You're welcome . +It looks delicious . +Well here . Help yourself to some shrimp .

What insurance rate do you suggest we should get ? +Well . Obviously , you won ’ t want All Risks cover . +Why not ? +Because they aren ’ t delicate goods and won ’ t likely be damaged on the voyage . FPA will be good enough . +Then am I right in understanding that FPA doesn't cover partial loss for the nature of particular average . +That's right . On the other hand , a WA policy covers you against partial loss in all cases . +Are there any other clauses in marine policies ? +Oh , lots of them . For instance , War Risks , TEND and SICC . +Well , thank you very much for all that information . Could you give me a quotation for my consignment now ? +Are you going to make an offer today ? +Yes .

I ’ ll take it then . +I need help finding a gift for my daughter . +Would she like a laptop ? +That sounds like a good idea . +A Mac is a very popular brand . +She mentioned a Mac . How much is it ? +A 15 - inch Pro model is $ 2,100 plus tax . +That sounds like a great price . I'll take one . +This is a gift she'll cherish for years . How do you want to pay ? +I'll use my VISA . +We're almost through . Just sign here , please . +Just take it home and plug it in ? +She'll be online 20 minutes after she opens the box . +She's going to be so pleased with this . +Remember us for all your computer needs . +Hi there ! My name ’ s Terry Graham . You ’ re new around here , huh ? +Yes . My name ’ s Mark Benson . I just started a couple of weeks ago . +Well , if there ’ s anything I can do for you , let me know . +Thanks , I appreciate that ! +Union Bank . How can I be of service ? +I need to know how much money is in my account . +I'll need your name and account number . +Certainly . +You look upset.What ' s wrong ? +Nothing . It's just one of those days . Everyone at the office is sick and I'm getting blamed for work not being done . +Maybe you need a vacation or something , or maybe a bonus . +I'm sick of doing other people's job and getting blamed for not doing it right . +Why don't you talk to your boss about it ? If you talk to him , he will surely understand . +I wish he could understand . You know what , if this goes on , I think I will get stick like everybody else . +What type do you have in your mind ? +A compact please . What's the daily rate for that car ? +Thirty dollars a day . +Does the rate include the cost of gas ? +No , you have to pay it by yourself . +Doctor , I feel much better now .

I'm confident that you'll be completely recovered in 4 to 6 weeks . +Is there anything I should do ? +You'd better have a good rest for a week . Be sure to have regular meals . Stay away from alcohol . Give up smoking at least a little while . +Should I take some medicine ? +Yes . I'm going to give you some . Take one tablet of this medicine three times a day before meals . For that one , two tablets . And remember to come to the outpatient department for a consultation in two weeks , please . +It's very kind of you . +You're welcome . We wish you a speedy recovery . Goodbye . +Hello , Jason . Are you free this Saturday evening ? +Yes . I have no plans . +Would you like to Come to our barbecue ? +Yes , that sounds wonderful . +OK . See you then . +But wait , wait , will there be food that is not meat ? You know . I'm a vegetarian +Hey ! I didn't know that ! When did you become a vegetarian ? +The other day , I decided that I needed to loose more weight so I am going to try to be a vegetarian . And you know what ? I don't miss the taste of meat . +Relly ? That's amazing . +Yes , it really is . After having vegetarian diet . I have much more energy , I need less sleep , I feel calmer . I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat and I can think more clearly . +Are you kidding ? I really don't think that you think less clearly on non-vegetarian diet . +Yes , maybe . But I feel better since becoming a vegetarian . Maybe you could also have a try . +Maybe I'll also have a try some day , but I'm afraid that it would be difficult for me to refuse meat . +Maybe you would change your mind after having a vegetarian diet . +We'll see . Anyway , I'll prepare some vegetarian food for the barbecue . See you then ! +Do you know that I'm checking out in about 30 minutes ? +Just say the word , sir . +Excellent !

There's a small charge , plus a deposit . +Leave a deposit ? Isn't leaving the luggage enough of a deposit ? +Regrettably , no . But simply present your VISA to cover your deposit . +Hmm . I'll have to think about this for a second . +Okay , sir , but don't think too long . Your checkout is only 30 minutes away . +Hi , waiting for the bus ? Where are you going ? +China Hotel . +Why don't you take a taxi ? It'll get you there much faster . +Well , I think I'll take the bus this time just for a change . +I'm checking out tomorrow . What time must I vacate the room ? +Before 12 a . m . +I see . Thank you . +May I ask whether we are allowed to wear casual clothes in the office ? +Sure , company rules are not very strict at this point . +Thank you for telling me that . +But remind you , there are some forbidden activities . +What are they ? I ’ ll be careful . +Don ’ t use office phones for personal matters . +I got it . +Never ever come to work drunk , also smoking in the office is not allowed . +I see . +Hey , Mom , look what I found ! +Good heavens !

What will you do if you win a lot of money ? +If I win a lot of money , I shall buy you a mink coat . +I don ’ t want a mink coat ! I want to see the world . +All right . If we win a lot of money , we shall travel around the world and we shall stay at the best hotels . Then we will return home and buy a big house in the country . We will have a beautiful +But if we spend all that money we shall be poor again . What will we do then ? +If we spend all the money , we will try and win the football pools again . +It ’ s a pleasant dream , but everything depends on if ! +Waiter , bring me the menu , will you ? +Just a moment , I'm coming . ( ten minutes later ) . Now , what would you like ? +I'd like to see the menu.Would you get me one , please ? +Yes , certainly.Here you are . +Thank you.Ah ! But this is in French.Would you mind giving me the English menu ? +It's written in English too , in smaller print.There . +Thanks .

If you ordered a larger quantity we could drop the price a little .

That still might be a little hard.Couldn ’ t you discount it further ? We ’ Ve been pricing other suppliers , and this discount might +We do value your business .

She can also help you do some household chores , and run some errands . +Oh , I don ’ t know ... it ’ s hard to find the right nanny . You have to consider her previous work experience , the responsibilities you give her , and how she interacts with the kids .

How may I help you today ? +Hi , I need to transfer some money to another account . It ’ s urgent . +Okay , have you made a wire transfer at our bank before ? +No . I ’ Ve never made a transfer before . +It ’ s alright , I will take you through the procedure . Are you transferring funds to a company or an individual account ? +A company account . I need to pay a bill . +Okay , I ’ ll need the name of the company and their bank routing number as well as their bank ’ s address and phone number . +I have all the information in this folder . +Well . You ’ Ve come prepared.You have all the necessary materials so we can go ahead and make the transfer right now . It ’ s a simple transaction , and we can process it today . +Oh , that ’ s such a relief . I didn ’ t want the payment to be overdue . Thank you so much . +It ’ s my pleasure . +Waiter , show me the menu , please . +Yes , here you are . Would you care to order now , Sir ? +I'll have the baked salmon . +Any vegetable ? +I'd rather have broccoli . +OK . Can I serve you anything else ? +Yes , I'd like another cup of coffee . +All right . +I ’ m really glad I got a chance to talk to you before you left , Mary . Have a safe trip ! +Thanks . Try not to work too hard while I ’ m away ! +Yeah , I ’ ll try not to ! See you after Christmas . +Okay-bye ! Have a nice Christmas . +If I remember correctly , time of delivery is another point on wich we differ . +That's right . Let's go into the details . +Ok . I hope you can have these goods delivered before the end of Sep . We'd like them to be there in time for our Christmas sales . +Christmas doesn't come until almost the end of the year , right ? +But in the United States the Christmas season begins about a month before Dec . 25 . +Well . I am afraid it will be difficult for us to advance the time of shipment . Our manufacturers are fully committed at the moment . +I hope you'll try to get them to step up production . +As new orders keep pouring in , the workers are working three shifts to step up production . +If that's the case , there is nothing more to be said . +I am sorry . +What's your last word as to the date then ? +I said by the middle of Oct . This is the best we can promise . +All right . I'll take you at your word . +Good . Let's call it a deal . We will do our best to advance the shipment , but your L / C should be opened early Sep . +I promise . +This way , please . We've got a nice private for you . +That's good . Thank you . +Here we are . I hope you will like it . +It's good . It's a nice room . +And here is the menu . I'll come back soon . +Thank you . +If we employ you , what starting salary would you expect ? +I'd like to start at 3000 yuan a month . +I think your background and experience are worth the compensation . +Does it include bonuses ? +No , there are annual bonuses , one week paid vacation a year , and health insurance . +Very good . +Shall we discuss the packing ? You know , a well-designed package helps sell the goods , so the products must not only be superior in quality , but also attractive in appearance . I'd like to see the sample of packing . +We have made a lot of improvement in packing . You are welcome to see the sample in the showroom . I think you will find the new packing beautiful and quite well-done . +Quite good . The beautiful design and bright color are just the European taste . How are you gonna pack these blouses ? +We are going to pack them in boxes with a colored picture of the blouse on it . Inside we ’ ll use a transparent poly bag for the blouse ready for the window show . You'll see that the blouses will appeal to the eye as well as to the purse . +Wonderful . +Can you help me set up my voicemail message ? I just got this service and I am not really sure what I am supposed to say . +Sure ! You just basically gotta let the caller know who they called , and ask them for their contact information so you can call them back . +Ok , so can I say , " This is Abby's voicemail . I will call you later , so leave me your name and number " . +That's more or less the idea , but try something that sounds more friendly . +Ok , so how about this , " This is Abby and I am really happy you called ! I promise I will give you a ring as soon as I can , so please leave me your name and number . Talk to you soon ! " . +A little too friendly Abby . Just say this , " Hi , you have reached Abby . I am unable to answer your call right now , but if you leave me your name and phone number , I will get back to you as soon as possible . Thanks " . +That's perfect ! Can you say that again and record it for me ? +Is that the latest issue of Reader you're reading ? +Yes , it is . It has some really good articles in it . +I know . I have been a subscriber for the past two years . +I didn't know that . How much does it cost to subscribe ? +I'm not exactly sure , but it's not that expensive at all . +I used to subscribe to it , but I cancelled my subscription last year . +Why did you do that ? +I was the only person in my family reading it . Everyone in my family just likes to read Fashion . +It's the same in my family . The coffee table in my living room is covered with copies of Fashion . +I think I should join a fitness centre . I am getting a little fat and I'm totally out of shape . Even a quick walk of a few hundred metres leaves me out of breath . +I'm afraid you are beginning to look a little overweight . You really need to stop smoking . That's the main reason you're unhealthy . +I guess you're right . I've tried stopping , but I just can't seem to quit . +Why don't you try smoking one cigarette less each day ? How many do you smoke each day now ? +I smoke around 30 each day . +Ok . So for one month , reduce the number you smoke by one a day . At the end of the month , you'll have quit . You should also buy a tracksuit and go jogging every morning . You don't need to jog far . +If I do a few exercises at home , like crunches , I'll soon deal with this waistline . +Be careful when you go jogging . Don't put yourself under too much stress . You're still a smoker shouldn't do too much exercises in your condition . +I'll join a fitness centre . I'm sure they'll be able to give me more advice . There's one near my office , so I can go before and after work . I don't want to go jogging in the street , so I'll use a treadmill . +Good idea . Remember to eat healthily too . The trainers at the fitness centre will be able to advise you on your diet . +How are you doing ? +Great . Thanks . +May I help you with something ? +I would like to transfer some money . +Where would you like to transfer money from ? +Take it from my savings account . +Where would you like the money transferred ? +I want it transferred into my checking account . +How much would you like to transfer ? +I would like to transfer $ 200 . +Will that be all today ? +That ’ s it for today . Thank you . +I'm hungry . Do we have anything to eat ? +Just a few cookies . +That's fine with me . +Excuse me , I want to know the price of your CPU . +Glad to tell you . The price of CPU is 300 dollars . +It's rather too high . If you can make it cheaper , we will be able to place large orders continuously . +If you order a large amount , we can give you a discount . +Well , can you explain it to me ? +The price of CPU is 260 dollars above 1,000 Units . +Can you reduce more ? +I'm sorry , but to be frank , considering exploiting the market in your country , we have already supplied you at very low preferential price . +In that case , we have to stop ordering if a reduction can't be made . Please reconsider . +It is so hard to deal with . +If you can give us a more reduction , We'd be able to give you an order on the spot . +This price is the best we can make . +Can I help you , sir ? +Yes , I want to buy some grapes . +What kind of grapes do you want ? +People say grapes from XinJiang are much sweeter than other kinds . Please give me a kilo of that . +Ok , wait a moment please . +Make sure they are fresh . +Trust me . +How's the building work going ? +Well , I'm afraid we've had a slight delay . +What's the problem ? We really can't have any delays at this stage . We're working to a really tight schedule and we're already over budget . +The cement arrived late but don't worry , I'm confident we can still meet the deadline . The crew is on stand-by and as soon as the concrete has set we can get started again . +OK . Keep me informed . Jt must be ready on time . +Yes , sir ? +I hate to complain , but this soup is too salty . +I'm very sorry , sir . I'll ask the manager to take care of this . +What do you expect of the position ? +I hope to apply my knowledge and experience on the job and make further improvement . +What do you think about occupational planning ? +It is quite important for all of us . Without clear goals , one may lose direction and cannot pave the way for their future . +Tell me something about your goals . +As a graduate , it may be more important to develop myself effectively in my future work . And whatever job I may take , I will make the best efforts . +If confronted with difficult task , what will you do ? +I will make full use of the chance and get myself ready for the challenges all the time . +Would you care much about your salary ? +Salary is , admittedly , important , but I will care more about what I can learn from the job . +If you were assigned some work which you are not so interested , would you take it or not ? +I would take it . After all , interest is not the only thing one should care about . +I think it is easier to buy a car than to maintain it . What ’ s worse , I just don ’ t trust those vehicle maintenance shops . Sometimes , they overcharge or don ’ t build those parts I have been paying for . Last week , they even tried to persuade me to buy new parts which really need not to be changed . You know , my car is just half a year old and also good brand . I was just wondering about all these . +There are such shops living on selling parts . I don ’ t like their service either . All they want is your money . But in the long run , they will be losing costumers . Anyway , car service business is new in China . We all have to control what they are doing . Otherwise , they will not improve . +Is it possible to make a compliant call to some organization what it ’ s someone gets rip-off . +Yes , there is . Those organizations exist . You always can call a lawyer if you need legal help . +Hello . I am Bili and I made an appointment with you to see the house . +Glad to meet you . This way , please . +The house is a little too old . +But it's quite convenient for you to go to any part of the city . The subway is nearby . +Yes . That's why I like the house . +What companies are stockholders in this company , do you know ? +Yes , the main stockholder is International Business Machines Corporation , namely , IBM for short . +What section would you like to work in if you enter this company ? +I wish to work in the planning department . +What type of work will you expect to do at first ? +I expect to operate computers . +What are your plans for the future ? +I wish to move up to higher positions with acquisition of more experience in the future . +How long does it take to get here from your home ? +It's a twenty-minute bus ride . +How long do you think that we can depend on your working here ? +I ’ ll work here as long as you expect me to . +You are single now , but what will you do when you get married ? +I ’ Ve thought about that a lot . I know that many women take a job , planning to make a career of it , and then they change their mind . But I am hoping to make it my lifetime work . So if I get married , I will find some ways that I can continue my work . +Do you think you will want to continue working here even after you ’ Ve had a child ? +I think so . +What ideas do you have if we employ you ? +Ever since I was a young girl , I ’ Ve been clever with my hands . I ’ Ve always enjoyed doing detailed work . If I could use that ability to make your products a little better and to benefit the company , I would be happy . +Do you have any particular conditions that you would like the company to take into consideration ? +No , nothing in particular . +If you are employed by us , how are you going to do your part of the work ? +I'll first get further information about our goals , ways , counterparts and management , etc . . Then I ’ ll make my plan . And then I ’ ll go with all my effort to see it is realized . +If you fail to do your work well , what are you going to do ? +I ’ ll report it honestly . I ’ ll give a correct analysis . I may quit the job - and pay compensation . But I have my way to judge whether I fail . +What do you think if you do not have much spare time on this job ? +People are supposed to work hard within regular work time , especially when it is an important work that is highly paid for . I don ’ t mind work over spare time if it is paid for . +What are your expectations from working on this job ? +Getting more experience with a widely-known company like yours . Using my speciality in marketing and management . And getting advancement in salary and position . Show my enterprise , confidence and character in passing . +If you were choosing a person for this job , what kind of individual would you select ? +I would select the individual that has the most qualifications among all the applicants . He doesn ’ t have to be the person if we have to fill the vacancy . But he has to be the best , even if we have to pay him higher . +If we do not employ you , what are you going to do ? +I will feel it is a pity . But I will not feel so bad . I will go for other interviews until I am employed satisfactorily . Hopefully before I find another position , you will call me back . +We ’ re having a department meeting at 10 o ’ clock , ok ? +That ’ s fine ... I need to pick up some stationary-you know , a stapler , scissors , files , who should I see about that ? +See Julie , the receptionist . She knows where all that stuff is kept . You might like a calendar for you desk . She can give you one of those too . +Thanks . I need to make a few photocopies . +The photocopier is near my office . Come on , I ’ ll show you where it is . +Do you enjoy working in this office ? +Yes , I do . Everyone ’ s really friendly . Sometimes , I wish I worked outdoors more , especially during the summer . +What ’ s usually discussed at the department meetings ? +We usually tell each other where we are with various clients and potential clients .

It's great to dance with a experience and talent partner . +Thank you for saying . I think you are light on your toes too . Oh , the music starts again , would you like to have another dance , miss ? +Ok , that would be great . Do you like modern dance ? I don't care for it . +Neither do I . I don't like any kind of modern dances all . +I'm going to paint the house today . +Are you sure there is enough paint for the house ? +Maybe not . Could you buy some while you're out ? +No problems . What color ? +I had a job interview this morning . +Really ? How did it go ? +Pretty well , I think . +Room service.What can I do for you ? +I have just checked in this afternoon . I am wondering what shall I do if I want to have some clothes washed . +There is a laundry form in your room ars well as a bag.Fill out the form and put them together with the laundry in the bag.The maid will come and pick it up . +That's convenient.Thank you . +May I help you ? +Yes , I'm looking for a job as a clerk typist in English . +I'm Mary Kelly .

Have a nice day . +You are welcome . +Bobby ! Come here , look what I got you ! +What is that ? +A chess board ! Daddy is going to teach you how to play ! +Cool ! +Ok , each player gets 16 pieces . You can be the white ones and I ’ ll play with the black pieces . Now in the front , you set up the pawns . Those are the least valuable pieces and can only move one space forward . When you are about to capture another piece , it can move one space diagonally . +What about all these other pieces ? +See this one that looks like a tower ? It ’ s called the rook . The one with the tall hat is called the bishop . See this little horsey ? This is called the knight , it ’ s a very important piece so it ’ s best to not let your opponent capture it . +And these two ? They are husband and wife ? +That ’ s right ! That ’ s the queen and that ’ s the king . If the other player captures your king , he will say ” Check Mate ” and the game is over ! Doesn ’ t this sound fun ? +Nah ! This is boring ! I ’ m gonna go play Killer Zombies on my PlayStation ! +I came to this lab to have my blood drawn . +You are in the right place . Roll up your left sleeve and have a seat . +What am I being tested for ? +Your doctor wants to know what your white blood cell count is . +What does my white blood cell count tell him ? +Usually if your white count is off , the doctor suspects an infection . +How much will it hurt ? +It is only a pin prick .

I need a big one . +Well , this one might work for you . +Oh , no , that's way too heavy a pan for me . +Here , lift this aluminum pan . It's the same size . +Yes , it's very lightweight . But I don't want this aluminum handle . +Here's a similar aluminum pan . But it has a heat-resistant handle . +Oh , this feels very nice . It's perfect . I'll take it . +I knew we'd find the right pan sooner or later . How would you like to pay ? +Cash . But first , I need a lid for this pan . +Oh , no problem . Here's the lid that comes with the pan . +I found a great school for Junior ! +Don't you think it's a little early to be looking for schools ?

Lisa has invited us to have dinner this afternoon . +Really ? Let ’ s hit the road . +If I remember correctly , time of delivery is another point in which we differ . +That's right . Let's go into details of it . +Ok . I hope you can have these goods delivered before the end of September . We'd like them to be ready in time for our Christmas sales . +Christmas doesn't come until the end of the year , does it ? +No . But in the United States , the Christmas season begins about a month before December 25 . +Well , I'm afraid a little bit difficult for us to advanced the time of shipment . Our manufacturers are fully committed at the moment . +I hope you can try to get them to step up production . +They are already working three shifts a day to step up production as new orders keep pouring in . +If that's the case , there's nothing to be done about it . +I'm sorry . +What's your last word as to the delivery date then ? +By the middle of October . This is the best we can do . +All right . I'll take your words at that . +Good . Let's call it a deal .

Do you have the notification of admission letter from your university , your passport and your visa with you ? +Yes , yes . It's all here . There you go . I'm not sure if I need any other proof or guarantee to get this loan , do I ? +You do , I'm afraid . There are 3 ways to do this . You can choose , mortgage , pledge or guarantee mode . +Yes , I read about all of these in the brochure and decided which would be more suitable for me . I'd like to go for the guarantee mode , please . +Right , that's no problem . I see you are already well informed . If you choose that one , you can borrow up to 70 % of the total tuition and miscellaneous fees . +OK , that's perfect , 70 % is excellent , it'll be a big help . Thanks . +Excuse me , sir ? I just need a little bit more information . Could you tell me your telephone number and mailing address ? +Sure . My number is 545-8897 , and I live at 908 Mulbury Street . +That ’ s 545-8897 and your mailing address is 908 Mulbury Street . The zip code is 20310 , right ? +That ’ s right . +Excuse me , Ms .

What did you bring with you ? +They're just gifts I bought . Don't worry . They are not heavy . +Beth , would you like me to help you carry it ? +Thanks , but I don't want to put you into any trouble . +Don't be silly . It's no trouble at all . +What are you doing ? +I ’ m just looking for a nice pillow on Ebay . +You are shopping for a pillow online ? That ’ s absurd ! +Why ? I don ’ t have to leave the house or browse a dozen stores to find what I ’ m looking for . This way , I just search for it online quick and easy . +I see , but how do you pay for it ? How do you know you aren ’ t going to be ripped off by the seller ? +Well , the website handles a point system where if the seller does something wrong , people comment negatively and then you know that he or she may not be trustworthy . +Wow , that sounds pretty safe . So how do you pay ? Do you need a credit card ? +You can use a credit card or your debit card . They also let you use the Paypal system which is really safe and fast .

We were lucky to meet a well-known doctor . +What did the doctor say ? +He said that he had a really bad cold . +Shall we go back home now ? +The dispensary closed . Here is the given prescription . +I bought some advanced medicine . Is there anything you need ? +Probably not . Some medicine we need is ethical drug which you can't buy without a prescription . +Now what ? +I'll go back home with Danny . You go to the pharmacy again . +Okay , this is the third time . +What ? How come ? The third time ? +You don't have to know . Bye for now . +Be careful . +I'm thirsty . Pull over to that store , I'll buy some drinks . +I'm afraid I can't .

I have no appetite . +I know of a restaurant . I'm sure you'll like it . +Let's go there then . Is it a Chinese restaurant ? +Yes.it serves excellent Sichuan food . Spicy food may improve your appetite . +I hope so . +Fair-Priced Fares , how may I help you ? +How much is a round-trip ticket to London ? +When did you plan to go , sir ? +In the second week of September . +The second week of September is still in the high-season , so the cheapest tickets are $ 650 . The high season lasts until the 15th , so fares after that date are cheaper . +In that case , I'll go after the 15th . How much are the off-season fares ? +Our cheapest ticket is $ 550 on American Airlines . +Okay , I'll take it . ( to be continued ) +I would like to get a bus pass . +Do you know what kind of pass you want ? +Can you tell me my options ? +There are passes for a day , month , and week , and there are student passes . +I would like the student pass . +Let me see your student ID . +Here you go . +Thank you very much . +How much will it be for the pass ? +The monthly sticker is $ 24 , but the actual pass is free . +That'll be fine . +We appreciate your business . +Day , I'm home . +Do you have any homework today ? +I'll do it later . +Go and do it now . +Can I have some cookies first , please ? +Good idea !

Flowers and plants from all over the world , of course . Besides , gardening techniques are demonstrated , modern facilities displayed , academic exchanges and seminars organized , and folk performances of different nations shown almost every day . +I visited the First International Flower Festival in the city last year , and was impressed with so many beautiful flowers ! +Oh , can't compare with the Kunming Expo at all ! The Kunming Expo covers an area of 218 hectares , and more than 9000 flower enterprises from over 100 countries and regions are invited to participate in the Expo . +It would be a rare occasion to be able to appreciate so many fine species of Chinese and foreign flowers fully blooming in one park ! +Far more than that , I dare to say ! Inland provinces and cities , Hong Kong and Macao , as well as many countries and regions in the world have an exhibition area of their own to display their unique flowers and plants . Each month there's a special day for a particular country or region , and folk performances are given . You will feel it a great pity if you missile Kunming Expo . +Have you ever sung with a karaoke ? +Yes , I do it quite often . +Karaoke has become a major entertainment . I wonder why . +Simple , it's fun . +How much fun is there in singing in front of other people , especially if you don't sing well ? +Ah , that's the biggest fun of all . You see , even though you're not a good singer , people will listen to you . +I wouldn't do that . +But I like the feeling . +Can I take your order please ? +Can I get a burger and a large fries ? +Sure . Anything to drink with that ? +A large coke , please . +Eating here or to go ? +Eating here , please . +That's 7 dollars and 25 cents .

The old one's falling apart . +What a good idea ! +What kind shall we get ? +We could go to more places this time , if you liked . +Yes , fine . +When shall we go and look ? +Why not sometime next week ? +No , let's go on Saturday . +OK . +Where shall we go ? +There's a car dealer down the road . How about going there ? +No , I don't like that place . Why don't we try the garage Martin recommended ? +Fine , We'll do that . +What's your name ? +My name is Wang Lin .

You will be OK soon . +Thank you . +Do you have any questions ? +Tell me about fees . +What fees are you referring to ? +I want to know about overdraft fees . +We charge a small fee every time you overdraft . +How much ? +For each time you overdraft , you have to pay $ 25 . +That ’ s not a small fee . +You shouldn ’ t overdraft . +That ’ s for sure . +Do you need help with anything else ? +That ’ s all I needed to know . Thanks . +Taxi ! Taxi ! +Where to , sir ? +I ’ d like to go to the railway station please . +Please hop in . +Is it a long run to the station ? +It ’ ll take about 20 minutes . +The streets are heavy with traffic at this time of a day , are they ? +Yes , they are . +Is it the rush hour now ? +Yes , it is . Are you in a hurry sir ? +No , I ’ m not . Would you please drive slowly and carefully ? +Yes , sir . +It's very kind of you to show me around . +Not at all . What would you like to see first ? +I really don't know . +Let's walk around the lake first , shall we ? +Yes , that would be lovely . +Have you been here before ? +No , it's the first time I've been here . +I will take you to Li River after walking around here . +That's wonderful !

I love the color scheme . +We have the room color designed for our guest . +I really like it here . +Let's begin by having you tell me about yourself and your background . +I have been working as a paralegal for the last 10 months through an agency that specializes in the legal field . My experience has been supporting attorneys in the field of labor law , where I have been able to apply my paralegal education . I was commended on my ability to take information and break it down into usable facts . I really love research and analyzing facts . My major in college was English , and as a result , my writing skills are my major strength . I am looking for a position where my research and writing skills can be used . +What do you think are the key qualities needed to succeed in the paralegal profession ? +Flexibility would certainly rank high in this type of job . In my last position , I supported four lawyers , and it was not unusual for them all to give me high-priority items to do in the same day or week . There were days when I had to stop and prioritize my work just to get a handle on everything . I would discuss the urgency of their work with each of them so I didn't drop the ball . At the same time , I made sure each of them felt like his or her project was important on my agenda . I think communication is probably the next key quality . It really worked well when I talked with each of them , explained my situation , and got their input . +Can you give me an example of a time when you had to work above and beyond your job description ? +There was a very important project that had to be researched and completed by the end of the week . Even though I worked extra hours every night for almost two weeks , my boss and I stayed until 2 a . m . for two nights before the final wrap up . It was very rewarding to have put so much effort into a project and see the really great results . My boss gave me a bonus for my extra effort . +Tell me about a time when you had to research a case and encountered some obstacles you had to overcome . +I remember a case that was filled with obstacles . The first thing I did was research through documents and past cases that had similar circumstances . I assembled the facts and then tried to put them together and analyze the next step . I was able to get some input from another lawyer I happened to see at lunch . Through some hard work and fact digging , I was able to find a way to overcome most of the obstacles . I took my findings to my boss and made some recommendations , which she and I discussed and eventually resolved.My boss was impressed with the work I had done . +What are your strengths and weaknesses ? +My strengths are my caring about getting the job done . I am very results-driven and have been able to meet all my deadlines in past jobs . As far as weaknesses , I really enjoy my work , and sometimes I put in too much time . But I am aware of my tendency to overwork and have learned to pace myself more . +Tell me about a time when you had a confrontation with a coworker or boss . +I did have an issue with someone who was getting on my nerves . I asked her if I could talk with her one day , and we had a good discussion . It turned out she was not aware of the impact of her actions and that she really needed an explanation of the procedure . I took the time to explain the procedures , and there haven't been any problems since that day . +When do you find a job satisfying ? +My biggest satisfaction is when I experience growth in a job . When I first started as a paralegal , I had a lot to learn . But through hard work , advice from some good mentors and continuing education , I have come a long way . I've learned to be flexible when possible and to deal with difficult people in a positive manner . +How would your coworkers describe you ? +First , they'll say I have a lot of energy and enthusiasm . I really enjoy working with people . Secondly , they'll say I had great customer service skills . I put the customer first . And thirdly , they'll say that I know the law . I put a lot of effort into my education as a paralegal and take it seriously . +Do you have any questions ? +Yes , I do . On a scale of one to 10 , what would you say morale was in this company ? +Where do you want to go ? +I am going to the Capital Hotel . +Get in . I will take you there . +About how much it will cost ? +$ 50 . +On the meter ? +Ye , of course . +OK.let ' s go . +I see by your resume that you have just graduated from college . I assume you haven't had any working experience . Is that right ? +That's right . I've only had some part-time jobs working in department stores . +Well , experience is not important in this job . We are looking for a man we can train to be a teller . By the way , do you like to work with figures ? +Yes , I liked math in school . +We are more interested in finding someone who is alert and quick at figures . Do you like meeting the public ? +Yes , I enjoy working with people . +We have very pleasant working conditions and I think we have a fine staff to work with . You would be assigned an experienced employee to help you . He would be responsible for training you . Have you studied English conversation ? +Yes , I had an American tutor for two years . I had two lessons under her every week . Would I be using English every day is this job ? +Yes , many of our customers are Americans , so you would be speaking English with most of them . Do you know anything about various kinds of savings and checking accounts ? +No , I'm afraid I don't . I'd be glad to learn . +That's good answer . I appreciate your being frank . +Would you mind doing something for me ? +I would if I could . +Will you please explain the meaning of this word ? +Yes , with pleasure . +What games do you like ? +I like word games . +How about a game of bridge ? +I don't like it at all . +What about guessing games ? +I'm not one for the games . +Let's play other game . +What about playing go ? +OK . +Excuse me . Could you tell me where the post office is ? +Sure . If you get on this road and turn left at the second intersection , you'll see it on your right-hand side . +Thank you so much for your assistance ! +You are welcome . +Your English has really improved in the two months you've been here , too . +Do you have to work late at the computer company again tonight ? +No , I'm going to leave the office early today . My annual medical check-up is this afternoon . +How much longer will Mr . Schmidt be up in the mountains ? +He's on a weeklong meditation retreat and won't be back until this weekend . +Can you work over tonight ? +Sorry , I'm supposed to be with my son . +Okay , I'll ask Bob to cover it . +Thanks . I appreciate it . +What do we need for the barbecue ? +Well , I ’ Ve bought a lot of meat . I ’ Ve got pork chops , small steaks , chicken wings , and plenty of hot sausages and hamburger patties . +I can ’ t wait to start cooking ! I ’ Ve bought the grill and charcoal . Do you have enough plates and utensils ? +I think so . I bought some paper plates and cups for people to use . It will save on the washing up ! +And if people drop them , they won ’ t break . We ’ ll need to buy some buns to make hot dogs and hamburgers . +They sell them at the shop around the corner . We can go and get some in a few minutes . +I brought some cheese to make cheeseburgers and some onions for the hot dogs . We ’ ll need some tomato ketchup and some barbecue sauce . +I have the sauce , but remind me to get some ketchup at the shop . +How long does it take to cook meat on a barbecue ? +It only takes a few minutes . Some people like their meat well done . Others like it rare . The great thing about a barbecue is that everyone can choose how they want their meat cooked . +They can cook it themselves to make sure it ’ s exactly how they like it . +I hope you haven ’ t invited any vegetarians ! +How would you describe your ideal job ? +I think the job should make use of the professional experience I have obtained , and offer me opportunity for advancement . +Why do you think you might like to work for our company ? +I feel my background and experience are a good fit for this position and I am very interested.What ' s more , your company is outstanding in this field . +What makes you think you would be a success in this position ? +My graduate school training combined with my experience as an intern should qualify me for this particular job . I am sure I will be successful . +How do you know about this company ? +Your company is very reputed in this city . I heard much praise to your company . +Why are you leaving your present job ? +I ’ m not so satisfied with it . +Why do you plan to change your job ? +I'm now a secretary in my present work unit . My work is not interesting . I have to type , make copies , book tickets and so on . Everyday I follow the routine . Furthermore , I have studied English for four years at university , but I can ’ t use it there . They are the reasons I plan to change my job . +Why are you interested in working with this company ? +One of my relatives told me that your company needs someone who can speak English . That's just the job that I have been looking for +Where are you from ? +I'm from Germany . +So you speak German , don't you ? +Yeah , but I can speak English , too . +Oh , I see . What other languages can you speak ? +A little French . +Good . +Did I do well on my test ? +Do you want to know the honest answer ? +Why wouldn't I want to know ? +You had pretty bad scores . +Exactly what do you mean by bad ? +You failed . +How'd I fail it ? +There are a couple of reasons why you didn't pass . +What did I do wrong ? +To sum it all up , you really just don't know how to drive . +Thanks.Will I be able to take a retest ? +Sure you can , in about two and a half weeks . +Does it look like a good fit ? +It's definitely your size . +Yes , it is very nice . I'll take it . +How do you prefer to pay ? +Let me use my credit card . +Now , if you'll just sign here . +No problem . +I hope you enjoy your purchase . Good-bye . +Did you get my email ? +I certainly did . Do you want to come in and give me some feedback about your weekend ? +Sure . +How did the business trip go ? +Well , to be honest , nothing is more stressful than going on a business trip with our boss . +I understand . The last time I went on a business trip with the boss , I didn't even have enough to eat ! +I also think the company is pretty cheap with travel expenses . I spent half of the weekend on a train ! Surely they could have afforded to buy a few plane tickets ! +Our company is quite conscious of the environmental problems that frequent flying causes . +I see . Well , then perhaps they could give me a few days off after a business trip . It was really tiring for me . +I can ask the boss about giving you the day off today . +Thank you . I can't imagine getting much done today . I'm just too exhausted ! +No problem . Did you bring any gifts back for your department ? +No , should I have ? +To which gate do I need to go to catch connecting flight 707 to New York City ? +Go to Gate 56 , the plane is now boarding , you must hurry . +Show me the fastest way to get there . +Instead of walking you can take this shuttle to get you there faster . +Do you think the plane will leave without me ? +No , I will call the attendants at the gate . I'll tell them you are on your way . +Thank you so much , I would really appreciate that . +You're welcome , have a safe trip . +Would you cash these travelers ' checks , please ? +How would you like them ? +In ten dollar bill , please . +Is there anything else ? +Yes , I'd like to know how to send money to France . +Good morning , everybody . Welcome to IAM Technology . I'm very pleased so many of you could make it here today . My name's Sam Weiss . I'm the Production Manager . I'd like to show you the layout of the factory before we go and visit it . As you can see from this diagram , everything is under one roof . We've designed it this way to help the flow of materials and to avoid bottlenecks . +This area here is where we keep our raw materials . The main production area - our machine hall - is situated next to it . Maintenance is situated between the stores and the production area . Just to the right of Maintenance , there are steps up to the Lab and the Admin Section . Process Control is also on the upper level . It's located above the factory floor so that the operators can monitor everything that is going on below . +Excuse me , driver , where is the main area for restaurants ? +It's near the Wall Street , a bit far from there . Why not get on the car +OK . Is there a Chinese restaurant ? +Of course . More than that , you have Italy pizza , English steak , kimchi and local specialties . +Woo , I can't help being there . +Hi , welcome to Hal's Computer World .

We need to fill that cavity before it gets any worse and the crown needs to be refitted . Make an appointment for next week and I'll take care of them . +Okay , I'll do that , but my crown was just put on last year . Will my dental insurance cover the work ? +Since you had that done here , we'll take care of it . There won't be a charge . And , your insurance should cover the work on the cavity . Now , I'm going to have the hygienist do your cleaning and I'll see you soon for the other work . +Thanks , doctor . +Why didn't you sign the contract ? +Because that company's behavior is not in accordance with international law . +Well , Miss Li , it's time for us to say good-bye to each other . +Yes , I suppose we must .

You know my favourite slogan , don't you ? +Yeah , I know . Shop till you drop . +Right ! +I'm getting a little short on cash . Let's just window shop a little . +Ok . +Hey , Jeanine , get a load of that . It's beautiful . +Ahahah , and I thought you were tired . +You know ..

Let's go in . +Hey , what are you doing here ? +I'm just shopping . +What are you shopping for ? +Some new clothes . How about you ? +Same here . +Have you found anything nice yet ? +I found a few pairs of pants . +Where'd you get those ? +I found them at Pennies . +Those are really cute . +Do you want me to show you where I found them ? +I would like that . Thank you . +have you thought of moving at all Sarah ? +we ’ Ve thought about it , but my husband and I can ’ t afford it right now . The only thing we could afford would be living in the slums , which is something I don ’ t want to do . +buying a house can be expensive , but there are ways to find cheaper houses . +like what ? +well , sometimes the city auctions off houses to the community . You ’ d have to make a quick decision about the offer in a day , but you would definitely save money doing it that way . +that ’ s a good idea . Do you know anyone who has done that before ? +sure , my sister-in-law and her husband just bought a house that way . They ’ re pretty satisfied with it . +is the house pretty run-down . +not at all . The woman , who owned it , took good care of it . But when she died , she had no family left and no will , so the government had to sell it for her . +was it very old house ? +it was about 75 years old . There were a few repairs that needed doing , but it didn ’ t take a lot of money or time . +is it in a good location ? +the area can be a bit rough in the evenings , but the neighbors watch out for each other , so it ’ s ok . +Welcome to Super Stereos . What can I do for you ? +I'd like to look at your stereo systems . Do you have anything on sale ? +Yes , this system over here is on sale for $ 1,000 . As you can see , all of the components are brand-name . +But it doesn't have a turntable . I have a fair number of vinyl records , so I need something to play them on . +Our selection of stereo systems with turntables is somewhat limited , but we do have this system over here . +I was wondering if I could collect unemployment benefits . +Did you get laid off ? +I am still working for now , but I might get laid off . +You may collect unemployment if you are working fewer hours or got laid off . +Does everyone who gets laid off get to collect unemployment ? +No , some jobs are exempt from paying into unemployment . +How can I find out if I can collect ? +Your employer can tell you if you have been paying into unemployment and now qualify to collect . +How will I know how much I can collect on unemployment ? +It depends on how much you earned . When you file , they will determine the amount . +You look tired . +Yeah , I ’ Ve been working so much overtime lately . +Really ? How come ? +My boss gave me a big project . I had to have it finished it by this morning . It was so difficult ! +You shouldn ’ t work so hard . +I know . But hard work pays off , you know . +What do you mean ? +Maybe now I ’ ll get that promotion I was hoping for . +Good afternoon , Mr . Anderson . +Good afternoon , Miss Li . +How nice to see you again ! +Nice to see you , too . +It's been a long time , hasn't it ? How are you ? +Fine , thank you . And you ? +Very well too , is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes . Could you guide me to where I can change money ? +Sure , Mr .

Montgomery ? +It would be good if you could get them to me by Thursday afternoon , Ms . Barkley . +That shouldn ’ t be a problem . What is the exact address , again ? +7880 Crofton Avenue , Building 40A , Room 304 . +I'd like to order broadband internet for my laptop . +Just plug the Ethernet cable into your computer , and a prompt will tell you the payment options . +Well , I don't have an Ethernet port . My computer runs entirely on wireless service . +That's too bad . But there are several alternatives , if you want to hear them . +Yes , please ! Tell me about the alternatives . +We run a fully equipped computer lab on the first floor . +Very good . How much does that cost ? +The service is free to hotel patrons . However , printing costs ten cents per page . +I see . And the other alternatives ? +Alternatively , we do offer wireless in our lobby . You can bring your laptop down here . +Great ! What if I need to print something in the lobby ? +You would have to use the computer lab . I'm sorry for the inconvenience . +Well , I'm glad you're finally back . I was wondering what happened . +I feel kind of stupid . +Why ? +We got lost coming back . I guess I don't really know this town yet . +You got lost . You're kidding ! +No . We took a wrong turn somewhere.And Joseph doesn't know the town at all . So I started giving him directions.But I didn't really know where we were . So we got seriously lost . +You could have called . +I know I could have . But finally we asked someone where we were . +You've been gone for two hours . How could you get lost for so long ? +Guess where we ended up . +I don't know . Where ? +When we finally decided to ask someone , they told us we were in Grangerfield . +Grangerfield ! You were in Grangerfield ? That's a completely different town ! How could you drive to a completely different town ? +I don't know.The person we asked had to give us directions to the highway to get back here . +Grangerfield is like a dozen miles away from here . +I know it is . I don't know how it happened . +Hmm , maybe I do . +What ? +Maybe I have an idea how it happened . +How ? +You were too busy looking at Joseph , and you weren't paying attention to the road . +Oh , that's what you think , huh ? +Yes , that's what I think.Maybe the next time you go out with him to buy groceries , you'll get lost for even longer.Maybe six hours or so . +You know what , Trish ? +What ? +I hope so . I really hope so . +Hah , hah ! See ? I guessed right . You weren't watching the road at all . +No , I wasn't . It's kind of hard to watch the road when Joseph is behind the wheel . +What do you think is the role teacher should play in the classroom ? +Teachers are just directors who give scope to the students ' initiative and creativeness , instead of taking their rights away from speaking . +What did you do to put it into practice ? +I divided students into groups and asked them to generate their own ideas actively . It can help develop the problem-solving ability of the students . +Why did your parents make you stay at home ? +They wanted to go out , and so they made me look after my baby brother . +Didn't you mind doing it ? +No , I didn't . My brother was very good and I did quite a lot of homework . +Didn't you even want to go to the cinema ? +Not really . I watched television for an hour . +What was on television last night ? +Boxing . It was excellent . +Oh . I enjoy watching boxing on television , too.What a pity I missed it last night ! +What did you do last night ? +I went to a boxing match in the sports stadium . +Hello sir , may I help you ? +Yeah , I accidentally dropped my phone in the toilet . +I see . Well , you have come to the right place . We have over one hundred models of more than twenty leading mobile phone manufacturers . +Sounds good . I don ’ t want it to be too expensive , maybe something mid-range . +We have this new ETC smart phone.It comes with the Android OS so you can download applications . It also has a built-in camera , mp3 player and touch screen . It works on the 3G network so you have fast access to the internet wherever you are . +What about Wi-fi ? +Of course ! You can access the internet from any hotspot as well as from home . +One last thing . Is it waterproof ? +Can you change American dollars into French francs ? +Yes . How much do you want ? +Fifty dollars . What is the exchange rate today ? +One dollar to five francs . Is that all right ? +Yes , please . And you can cash my traveler's check , can't you ? +Of course , we can . +I want to be here tomorrow . What are your business hours ? +10 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon . +Thank you . +Not at all . +We like your product , and are interested in placing an order with you as soon as possible . +Well , we can proceed with the order until after the Christmas holidays . Our factories will be closed for another week . +That's all right . We will send you a purchase order in one week . I hope you will be able to take care of it . +No problem . Once we get your purchase order , we will begin the execution of the order right away . +Thanks . We need the products in less than one month , because we have a big deal with another company . By the way , will payment against delivery be OK ? +That will be fine . And I can promise you that you'll get the goods about two weeks after we get your purchase order . +Hello . May I speak to David ? +Who ? +David Bush . +There ’ s nobody here by that name . +Sorry , I dialed the wrong number . +What would you like to order , sir ? +I'd like to try some Chinese food . +We serve different styles of Chinese food here . But I'm not sure which one do you prefer . +I have no idea . Could you recommend some to me ? +Well . Cantonese food is rather light , Beijing food is heavy , and Sichuan food is usually hot and spicy . +Oh , I see . I'd like to have hot food . +If so , I suggest you have a taste for Sichuan food . Most Sichuan dishes are spicy and hot , but they have different tastes . +Really ? So do you have some specialties ? +Yes . Roasted Crispy Chicken and Spicy Beef are our specialties . +All right . I'll have them . +Hi , Dave . You're early . +So you knew it was me ? +I had an idea . +Look , before we get into the secret admirer thing , I want to talk to you about WebTracker . +I'm sorry . I know you feel betrayed . +So you're really planning to quit invoking and switch over to WebTracker ? +My mind is made up . +Want to send out for some Chinese ? +Some what ? +Some Chinese food . I ’ m hungry , and there ’ s a take-out restaurant near here . We can have them deliver and then watch the news on TV while we eat . +No , I ’ d rather go out . The Chinese food here is rather different from what I had at home . Maybe we can try some other food today ... What about that all-you-can-eat place we passed the other day , the one over in the shopping center ? +Okay . I could go for that . It ’ s called Al ’ s Steakhouse . They also have great fried fish , and I love their salad bar . You can go back to refill 1 your plate as often as you like . +Is that the place that serves such large portions of meat ? +Yes , their steaks are enormous . Sometimes I can ’ t finish what I ’ Ve ordered . +What if that happens to me ? I hate to let food go to waste . +Don ’ t worry . We ’ ll just get a doggie bag . +We're leaving now . +Here's your bill . +Right . And would you please forward our mail to this address ? +Certainly . +Thank you . Goodbye . +Goodbye . Hope to see you again . +Good afternoon , sir , is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes . I can't find my sweater . I have my laundry sent to you yesterday but when the washing is done . I find my swatter missing . +Well , it's our fault.We are sorry for that.Would you please fill out the form ? We will pay for you . +That's fine . Maybe you should be more careful . +What should I prepare for the recruitment fair ? +You should wear a formal dress and be confident . +What application materials should I take ? +You should take several resumes and some copies of your graduate diploma . +Who finances the magazine ? +I don't know exactly . I only hear it's financed by a famous film star . +Does it have a large circulation ? +Yes , so it really doesn't matter who offers the money.The paper itself is profitable . +I'll have sole , then . +All right.How about other guests ? +The rest of us will have this today's special , please . +OK . +I'm sorry but I ordered sole , not the same as the others.Will you change it ? +I'm afraid we have no more sole . +Then , I'll have this pork cute instead . +Certainly.Just a moment , sir . +You will never guess where my family is going for summer vacation . +Let me try . It has to be somewhere amazing , and far away ... Egypt ? +How in the world did you guess that ? Did someone tell you already ? +Yes . I overheard your mom and my mom talking in the grocery store . +I want to ride a camel and definitely see the pyramids ! +I wish our family took outrageous summer vacations like yours . +It helps that my dad is an archaeologist . +We'll get to go fishing at the river . I hate fish . +I would appreciate it if you could go to the store for me . +No problem . What do you want me to get ? +Here's a list with a few things that I need you to get . +Did you forget to put anything on the list ? +I don't think I forgot anything . +Would you like me to go anywhere else for you ? +If you don't mind , I would appreciate it if you would pick up my prescription . +Has your prescription been filled yet ? +Someone at the pharmacy called and told me it was ready . +Sure , I'll go get it for you . +Thank you . +Anything for you . +Hello . I would like to make a reservation at 8: 00 . +OK , sir . How many are coming ? +4 . By the way , what's your dress code ? +We require a jacket and tie . +I see . Thank you . +Let me ask some questions . Do you know what people need to get entry into China ? +Yes . An passport and a visa are necessary for entry into China . +What materials do they need in order to apply the passport ? +They should fill in an application form , hand in the copies of Identification Card and household register . +Do you think we should travel by bus or by train ? +It ’ s a difficult choice . The train is a litter faster , but much more expensive . +We could face delays if we travel by bus , thanks to traffic jams . +Buses are more cramped and you can ’ t walk around . +That ’ s true , but I feel that I see more when I travel by bus . +Really ? I think you see more traveling by train . +So , which form of transport do you prefer to use ? +I prefer going by train , ever though it costs more . +Ok them . We ’ ll go by train . I ’ m sure we ’ ll have a good journey . Shall we go to the station and buy the tickets ? +The train aren ’ t usually full . We can get them on the day we travel . We should buy return ticket because they are much cheaper than getting two singles . +We should take a packed lunch on the journey . The food they sell on the trains is always expensive . +From reviewing your resume I can see that you have ample experience for this position.What I want to know is why you think you ’ re right for the job . +Well I ’ m impressed with what the company has done in the past and I think by hiring me the company ’ s future can only be brighter . I find that my personal goals and ideas about business operation +So you ’ Ve acquainted yourself with the company . It ’ s refreshing to interview someone who ’ s sure of what they want . +Yes , I believe that it ’ s crucial for me to know if a company is right for me , not just if I ’ m right for the company . I ’ Ve only been impressed by what I ’ Ve read and heard and I see myself having +Commitment to the company and the team is very important to us here . +Well I ’ m definitely a team player as well as being highly self-motivated . I believe this company can fulfill my long-term goals and offer me great upward mobility . Therefore you will find in me +Can I ask for leave this afternoon ? +What is the problem ? +I had a headache this morning . I didn ’ t pay attention to it . I thought probably it is because I didn ’ t sleep well . But now it is getting worse and worse . I feel quite dizzy now and my eyes are somehow very light-sensitive . Maybe it is the migrated . +It is ok . You look really pale and red eyes . I suggest you go home immediately and have a good rest . +Thank you very much . I am sure good rest will do indeed . I don ’ t have this too often . +Did you see the woman that just left my office ? +Yes . +She's another applicant , and a leading contender , but I didn ’ t want to hire her . She ’ s qualified , but she doesn ’ t quite fit the profile . We ’ re looking for an accountant , and part of the job requires interacting with clients . Well , our clients want conservative people to handle their money . And green hair with ripped jeans doesn ’ t exactly fill them with trust . +But it's the style now . +I realize that , but our business is serving clients and giving them what they want . +Of course . +Well , they don ’ t want to deal with people who look like that . They want people who look more like yourself . +Why is that ? +Well , they ’ re older , and they don ’ t understand today's fashions . When they see someone dressed like that , warning bells go off . They don ’ t like that style at all , and they don ’ t like dealing with people who dress like that at work . +Oh , I see . +We used to have a woman here who dressed like that and she was good , very good . But , the clients reacted very negatively when they saw her . Some asked that their account be given to someone who dressed more conservatively . +What happened to her ? +Well , she was a very good employee and we wanted to keep her , so her supervisor called her in for a chat and laid it on the line for her . She got the idea and now she saves the trendy styles for evenings and weekends . +I see . +Excuse me ? Do you have anything for a carsickness ? +Yes , but you look fine . +Oh , it's for my brother . The little boy over there . He is getting a carsickness . +Poor boy ! But don't worry . Here are two pills made in Germany . It's really effective . He will be just fine . +Thank you so much . +Take some with you next time , just in case . +Sorry to interrupt , but my brother is still sleeping . +You mean the boy who felt carsick just now ? +Yes . It's so strange that he slept all the time after taking the pills . +Oh , sorry , maybe I gave you the wrong medicine . +What ? +It's just sleeping pills made in America which is also very good . But don't worry . It has no undesirable side-effects . +I see . +Good evening . How many people of your party ? +Three . Two adults and one kid . +For buffet ? +Yes . How much do you charge for it ? +Thirty for each adult , twenty each kid . +I see . Where can I get the food ? +Please go to the tables over there for cold dishes and vegetables . The hot dishes are on the other side . +Do I need to pay extra charges for drinks like cola and juice ? +Not for soft drinks . But we charge ten yuan for each alcohol order . +Could you give me a taxi to pick me up and take me to the airport before 1:00 p . m . ? +What is your address , sir ? +I live in room 1106 of the Friendship Hotel . +OK , someone will be there by 12:15 . +What do you think about half day kindergarten for Stacey ? +We could try it for the first few weeks and see if she likes it . +I just think it will be a little difficult for her to be away from home for so long right off the bat . +You have a good point . She hasn't really ever been away from home for longer than a few hours . +I think she is really going to like her teacher though . +Yes , they seemed to click at the meeting the other day . +Did you happen to notice if she was interested in any of the other kids ? +No , but I did notice that she was very interested in the art supplies ! +I need to buy a bus pass . +What kind of bus pass would you like to buy ? +What are the different kinds ? +You can get a day , weekly , monthly , or student pass . +Could I get a student pass , please ? +Sure , can I see your student ID ? +Sure , here it is . +Very good . +How much for the pass ? +It's free , but the monthly sticker is $ 24 . +Okay , I'll take it . +Thank you for your purchase . +You are welcome . +I really want to make a salad . +Do you know what kind of salad that you want ? +I'm not sure what kind that I want . +I usually make a Caesar salad . +Those taste really good . +Which kind of salad are you going to make ? +I want a chicken salad . +I enjoy chicken salads . +I like salads with croutons , almonds , and shredded cheese . +I really like how that sounds . +Why don't you make a salad like that ? +I'm going to do that then . +Good morning , and welcome to our bank . What can I do for you today ? +I need some advice about my fixed deposits . +What seems to be the problem ? +No , no problem . It's just that one of them is due and I'm not sure how to deal with it . +I see . Well , you have two choices ; you can renew it or redeem it . Which would you prefer ? +Mmmm ... well , I am happy with your service so far , so I'd like to renew it , please . +Not a problem . But may I just inform you that we have introduced a new service called Account Renewing upon Maturity ? +Yes ... +You see , that means when anything is up for renewal , we do it automatically and you don't have to physically come here to sort it out . All you need to do is sign here and we'll set it all up for you . +That's just perfect for me . I live pretty far from the centre and it can be a chore getting in . +My shirt needs ironing . Could you please help me with that , Mary ? +No way . Do it yourself . +Please , I promise this is the last time . +OK , I'll iron your shirt for you , but only if you make me a cup of coffee . +Tell me something about your work experience . +Well , I have been in the computer engineering field for 6 years now . I am familiar with both hardware and software and with hands-on experience in system development including system analysis and design . +What systems have you worked on ? +I have worked on about every system that is out right now . +Do you feel comfortable with the new system by microcosm ? +I am not as familiar with it as I am with some of the older systems . But I am a fast learner and I can master it in a short time . +What do you consider your strengths ? +I am knowledgeable and levelheaded . +Jane , the meeting is scheduled from 1:00 this afternoon . Have you made the necessary arrangements ? +Yes , Mr . Miller . We'll use the conference room on the third floor for the meeting . +That's right . The meeting is very important . Where shall the guests be received before the meeting begins ? +In the dining room . It's spacious there . +We'll have several foreign guests to attend the meeting . +I've arranged for an interpreter to be present . But it is said these foreigners could speak English . +Really ? I'll also try to speak slowly . How would you arrange the guests ' seats , Jane ? +We've prepared name cards to be put on the conference table for guests to sit by . What time would you like refreshments served , Mr . Miller ? +Well , after my report , there will be an interval for rest and refreshments . +All right , I see . +Excuse me . Could you tell me the way to the Star Hotel ? +Yes . Go down the main road . You can't miss it . +How long will it take me to get there ? +It's only about a five-minute walk . +Thank you very much . +You're welcome . +I need a haircut . +Do you have an appointment ? +No , I don't . You look pretty busy today . Do you have an opening for me ? +Yes , we do . I can cut your hair right now if you like.Do you need a shampoo too , or just a haircut ? +Just a haircut . I washed my hair this morning . +Alright . I will have an assistant wet your hair . Then I can cut it.Please step over there.How would you like your hair cut today ? +Well , I last had a haircut eight weeks ago . So my hair is pretty long.But I want the same style . +I recommend you leave it a little long on top.But we should take in the back and sides a bit more . That's more fashionable now . +Alright . You are the expert . I'm happy to have your recommendation . +So I will cut the sides just above the ear . Is that good ? +Fine . +And do you usually part your hair along here ? +Yes . +Alright , I know just what to do.Your hair seems quite dry , you know . And I see some split ends . +Yes , I know my hair is quite thin.It runs in my family . Everybody has very thin hair . +The problem is the split ends . They make your hair look even more frizzy . +I don't know what to do about it . +Well , there are two things you can do.First , don't blow-dry your hair for so long after you shower . Let it dry naturally.That is easier on the hair , so you won't get split ends.Second , buy a g +Do you sell conditioner here ? +Of course . I have one I can suggest . +Great . I would be happy to try it . I know my hair doesn't look good now . It's too weak . +The problem is the split ends . +Do you have desserts ? +Yes , we have many kinds of pies and puddings . +Can you give us more information ? +Sure . We have lemon pies , apple pies , coffee rum pies and ice cream . +I would like to have the coffee rum pies . +Can you help me pick out a gift for my niece ? +Most normal little girls go wild over Barbie dolls . +That sounds good . Let me see one . +Here's the latest model — Digital Barbie . +Oh , she's nice . How much is she ? +Why , she's only $ 29.95 . +Well , that's reasonable . I'll take it . +Excellent . Would you like anything else ? +No , thank you . +The total will be $ 32.42 . Will that be cash ? +Oh , cash will be fine . +Here's your change . Thank you for shopping with us . +Come in , please . +Good afternoon , Mrs Smith . +Good afternoon . Have a seat , please . You are Mr . Sun ? +Thank you . Yes , I am Dunlin . +I have read your resume . I know you have worked for 3 years . Why did you choose to major in mechanical engineering ? +Many factors led me to major in mechanical engineering . The most important factor is I like tinkering with machines . +What are you primarily interested in about mechanical engineering ? +I like designing products , and one of my designs received an award . Moreover , I am familiar with CAD . But I can do any mechanic well if I am employed . +Why did you decide to apply for this position ? +Your company has a very good reputation , and I am very interested in the field your company is in . +What do you think determines an employee's progress in a company such as ours ? +Interpersonal and technical skills . +We have several applicants for this position . Why do you think you are the person we should choose ? +I have the abilities , qualities and experience that you requested in your job advert , for example I have three years experience in designing products and I got leadership experience while serving the college student union as president . +That sounds very good . How do you see your career development ? +After a few years of gaining experience in the company and furthering my professional qualifications I'd like to put my experience and skills to use in management . I want to become a supervisor in your R & D department . +Have you anything to ask about the job ? +Yes . Do you offer any opportunities for further study ? +Yes . If you undertake additional courses , provided these are approved , and you complete them successfully , you can claim back part , quite a large part , 75 % of the costs you incurred . Not just the fees , - traveling and other expenses too . +That's fine . +Anything else ? +No . +Well , thank you very much , Mr . Sun . I'll let you know the result of the interview as soon as possible . Goodbye . +Thank you , Mrs . Smith . I do hope the answer will be favorable . Goodbye . +I've just got a new printer . How often do I need to replace the print heads ? +Well , under normal conditions each head lasts about 5 000 copies or so . It depends on the user , but about once a month is average . +So if I don't print out very much , it could last a lot longer ? +That's right . It could last six months or more . This model's designed for heavy use . Don't worry - you'll get an error message telling you when to change the head . +Give these sales figures a look . It's pretty depressing . We're way in the red this year . We can't afford to keep going like this for much longer . +You're right , we need to start making money soon , or at least manage to break even . But I think that the market is slowly beginning to heat up--sales are bound to pick up any time now . +Deman is dropping . The problem is our competition . They are monopolizing the market ! +Maybe we should rethink our marketing strategy to include the possibility that our new line of cosmetics could be a big seller . +It's really too early to tell , but a lot is riding on the new products . If we don't do better after the product launch , we may have to go bankrupt . +Do you think it's that serious ? +Look at this numbers and see for yourself . Read'sm and weep . +My goodness , I didn't realize it was that bad . +Mary , set your alarm clock for seven tomorrow morning . +Why ? +I'm going to take you to your school to register for classes . +That's right . I haven't done that yet . +You can choose classes that you like at the school office . +Really ? +Well , there are core courses and electives . +What do they mean ? +Core courses are ones that you must take . Elective courses are ones that you get to choose for yourself . +Can I help you , madam ? +Yes , I'm looking for a new winter coat . +Have you any particular color in mind ? +I don't know really . What's the fashional color this year ? +Red is very popular . +Good . Red suits me very well . It's a cheerful color , isn't it ? +Yes , madam , I agree . What size are you ? +Well , I used to be size fourteen , but I've put on a bit of weight recently , so may be sixteen . +Here you are , madam . All these are sixteens . +I quite like this one . How much is it ? +It's $ 180 . +Oh , that's too expensive . Aren't there any cheaper ones ? +These are our cheapest coats , madam . +Yes , I see . I'll take it . Here's $ 200 . +Here's your change . +Thank you . +The order is so urgently required that we have to ask you to speed up shipment . If shipment is too late , we'll have to turn to other suppliers . +I am sorry , but we can't advance shipment . The manufacturers are fully committed . They have no stock on hand . +Can you find some way for an earlier delivery ? +How's this then ? We propose partial shipment . We can ship whatever is ready to meet your urgent need instead of waiting for the whole lot to get ready . +Sounds like a good idea . +We propose to deliver 50 % in June and the balance in Aug . +I agree with your proposal . +How can I help you today ? +I want to sign up for some funds units . How do I go about it ? +Have you got some ID and your cash card ? +Yes . I've already got a fund account with you too . +How many more fund units would you like to purchase today ? +I'm not quite sure . You see , I already have more than 5,000 RIB in my cash card , but I really don't know how much I should get . +The usual minimum purchase is 5,000 RIB . +That settles it then . 5,000 RIB it is , thanks . +I'm afraid I have to return this sweater . +May I ask if there's anything wrong with it ? +You see , there is a run at the neck . +Oh , sorry.But do you want to change it for another one ? +No , thank you . +Paul , you were also a parent of young kids before . So , can you tell me what you did when your kids didn ’ t behave very well ? +I know Mark is your only child . You may do it differently from what I did . Sometimes I would tap their hands when they made troubles . +I do it , too . You know , sometimes when we eat , my child would pull a dish towards him and grab it with his hands and eat . And if it were something he doesn ’ t like , he would spit it out and throw it into other dishes . He does it very often . I really get mad . I can ’ t help spank him sometimes . +And what does your husband do ? +My husband is an American . He criticizes me when I do that . He says that I can ’ t change a child ’ s behavior by using force . He is learning what I am doing now . +But spoiling a child is not going to do him good either ! You ’ Ve got to have patience with him and teach him . It ’ s not easy , I know . It ’ s hard . +Yeah . I ’ m still learning how to control his behavior and my temper . My child is almost two years old , and I ’ Ve learnt the distraction technique when he cries for something . +Hello , is everything alright ? Can I help ? +I have a Promissory Note , but it's not called that . It's a Bill of Exchange . +Similar to a Promissory Note , yes . I can deal with that for you right here . The difference between a Promissory Note and a Bill of Exchange is that this product is transferable and can bind one party to pay a third party that was not involved in its creation . +So , even if someone wasn't directly involved , they can become involved ? Like the bank you cash it in ? +That's right . We didn't issue it to you , but technically we are buying it from you . So , we become involved . +I see . Sorry about this , I'm new in this job and I've never even seen one of these before ! My boss just told me to come here and sort it out . +As long as you have all of the documentation we require you have nothing to worry about . +Why are you handing me a plastic cup ? +Your doctor wants to test your urine and needs a sample . +How am I supposed to do that ? +We need you to urinate like you normally would , and then stop and finish into the cup . +What am I supposed to do with the cup when I am done ? +Leave the cup in the cubby in the restroom . Just close the cubby door and walk away . +What kind of test is this ? +He wants to know if you have bacteria in your urine , which could signal an infection . +How long will it take to get the results ? +We will send your doctor the results , and he will contact you . +Hello . I need to disconnect my phone , please . +All right . Where do you live , sir ? +At 345 Lincoln Avenue . Oklahoma City . +Very well . Why do you want to disconnect your phone , sir ? +I ’ m moving to a new home . +O . K . May I have your name please ? +John Smith . +Thank you . Mr . Smith . What ’ s your telephone number ? +555-7658 +Thank you . Where should I send your final phone bill ? +623 West Side Drive . New York , New York . +Thank you , Mr . Smith . Your phone will be disconnected after this phone call . Have a nice day . +Thank you , you too . +As an experienced interviewer , could you tell me what kind of behavior the interviewer hates most ? +Rudeness . You are not expected to sit down before being invited , and you shouldn ’ t throw yourself into the chair like you ’ re loading heavy baggage . +And we should have good sitting posture . +That ’ s right . The ideal posture for women is to put their legs together and lean to one side . This is especially important in summer . +Where should I put my overcoat and briefcase after entering the office ? +Put it beside you . Don ’ t pile your purses , briefcase and other belongings on the employer ’ s desk . You've got long hair . Don ’ t touch it while talking to the interviewer . It gives people the feeling that you cannot concentrate on your work . +I think that ’ s the reason why Princess Diana ’ s hair style became so popular . +Also , if you are asked to sit beside the employer's desk , neither lean on it nor look at the documents there . +I ought to respect other people ’ s privacy , as most Westerners do . +As the saying goes , when in Rome , do as the Romans do . +Good day to you . How can I be of service today ? +Hello . I'd like to open a Foreign Currency Account . +I see . Well , this bank offers many different accounts of this nature . There are 7 to choose from +Oh dear . I wanted AUD . Is that not possible ? +Well , you could change your Australian dollars into , say British pounds and then open an account . How does that sound ? +Maybe I'll go for the US dollar account . +Welcome aboard . +Excuse me , Miss . Can you show me my seat ? +Let me have a look at your boarding pass . It's E - 6 , the sixth seat by the aisle . +Thanks a lot . +Okay , I want to change 22,000 . +Could you please fill out this form ? +Okay , here you are .

Green . +Can you print it out before 12 o'clock ? I need it this afternoon . +No problem . I will do it immediately . +Please double space it and print it out on the laser printer so I can read it easily . +OK . Would you like this report done in a formal or informal style ? +Please type it in a formal style . +I see . Anything else ? +No , thanks . +What are you looking for ? +I lost one of my contact lenses , and I ’ m searching high and low for it . +Where did you lose it ? Maybe I can help you to find it . +Thank you very much .

Not to mention serious lapses in service , sales and leadership skills . +Well as we know nothing comes out of a can . We have years of experience tailoring workshops to the specific needs of your company . We can hone in on your problem areas and have your employe +What a relief ! I was beginning to think it was no way to get my business rolling again . +That's what we're here for , the human resources help you need , when and how you need it . +It ’ s freezing in here ! Can I turn up the heat ? +Don ’ t touch that thermostat ! You don ’ t pay the bills around here ! +Dad ! Are you serious ? What ’ s the point of having central heating if we can ’ t use it ! Look , I can see my breath ! +Put on a sweater ! I ’ m not gonna let you run up my heating bill just because it ’ s a bit chilly . +Dad ! I ’ m gonna catch a cold ! +When I was your age , my parents didn ’ t have central heating like you do ! We had a furnace in the center of the living room and that was it . We used it to cook , heat the house and even dry our clothes ! We never caught a cold . You should be grateful ! +May I have your order now ? +Yes , we'd have your regular dinner . What courses are there , please ? +The courses for our regular dinner are , appetizer , soup , beef steak , dessert and coffee . +All right , we'll have it . +What kind of dessert do you want ? +Do you have some chocolate cakes ? +Yes , we have . +OK , we will choose it . +Wait for a moment , I'll come back soon . +Is everything ready for the big family barbecue tomorrow ? +Yep . The steaks and chicken are marinated and I also bought hamburger buns . +We should also cook a couple dozen hot dogs and kebabs . +Yeah , good idea.We can put some lawn furniture outside next to the grill . I also set up the tent outside so we can hide from the sun if it gets too hot . +Great ! I asked Grace to bring cups and serviettes as she is also bringing two big coolers for the beers . +This is gonna be a great barbecue ! +In my opinion , it may be necessary to charge for participation . +I'm not sure if that would be wise . +Then what is your opinion ? +Well , maybe we'll go to ask Mr . Johnson . He has the final say . +Let's see if we forget anything . +Oh , we need an umbrella . The weather is so changeable in that area . +Yes , let's go . Lock the door , please . +All right . +Hey , what's up ? +Nothing really . +I'm throwing a party on Friday . +I didn't realize that . +You didn't ? +Nobody has told me anything about your party . +Did you want to go ? +When does it start ? +At 8 +I'll be there . +I'd better see you there . +Of course . +Welcome to the International Business Department . How can I help you ? +Hello . I'm Ms Dawson from Lexington Software . I need to send these documents to Vietnam via L / C . +No problem , I can do that for you right now . Have you checked the documents ? +I have , but I have never done this before so would it be possible for you to double check them ? +Of course , that's all part of the service . +Thank you . I don't think there should be any problems , but just to be sure ... +Don't worry ; I'm sure it will be fine . If I do have any queries I'll call you , OK ? +That's fine . Thank you again . +Okay Rebecca , well I think you ’ Ve given me a clear impression of your positive qualities , but let ’ s talk a little bit about your weaknesses . +Okay , well it ’ s always more difficult to describe them isn ’ t it ? +Definitely , but if you had to pinpoint one weakness what would it be ? +Well as I mentioned before , I do tend to get frustrated if I don ’ t see progress in my work or career . I suppose I ’ m quite a restless character . My father always taught me to be a high achiever . +So would you say if things don ’ t go your way at work it could easily get you down ? +Well , in a way yes . But I must say that even if I ’ m not completely happy in my work I always give 110 % I would never shirk my responsibilities . I suppose sometimes I expect too much too soon . +Well , you know journalism is a highly competitive world , so you do need to keep pushing yourself it ’ s true . Okay , well let ’ s move on to talk about the job position here , shall we ? +Yes , please . +Lisa , can I call Taiwan ? +Are you homesick ? +I miss my parents . +Don't worry about the bill . Just call . +Can you show me how to make an overseas call ? +Of course . First dial the code 011 to get an international line . Then you dial Taiwan's country code +That's 886 . +Now you should know the rest . Don't forget to dial Taipei's city code . +Do you have any vacancies ? +Yes , we have a nice room on the sixth floor . +How much is it ? +200 yuan a night . +OK . Dose it include breakfast ? +Yes . And could I have your name ? +Kate Green . +How long do you want to stay ? +5 days . And could you send a bellboy to pick up my luggage ? +Sure . We'll be there in a few minutes . +Could you keep my valuables ? +We'd like to . You may call the attendant if you need any help . +Thomas , could you do me a favor ? +What's up ? +Could you pick up Mrs . David from Ford Company at the Capital Airport ? +Why don't you go ? +I'm supposed to do it , but the general manager called me last night . He said he couldn ’ t come back to Beijing as scheduled , so he asked me to attend the meeting for him . +I see . I'll do it for you . +Thanks a lot . It ’ s very kind of you . +Why did you choose Applied Sociology as your major ? +I think Applied Sociology is a practical subject that can be widely applied to research on soci-ety and man .

Do you know where I can find a pay phone ? +There is one around the corner . +Can I make an international call from that pay phone ? +Yes , but you have to get a phone card first . +Where can I get a phone card ? +You can get one in the grocery store over there . +Oh , I see it . Thank you . +It's the Cygnet Trust . +Could you spell that please ? +Of course . C , Y , G , N , E , T . +Cygnet . OK , I've got that . +Gross ! What are you doing to yourself ? +Chill ! I'm just curling my eyelashes . +It looks like some kind of primitive form of torture . +You're such a wimp ! You're afraid of an eyelash curler . +Well , you might pinch your eyelid ! Or lose an eyeball ! +It just makes my eyelashes curl upwards . +What for ? +Sandy . Do you have a minute ? +Yes , John . I ’ m on my break . What ’ s going on ? +Not much . I just wanted to see how you were . How ’ s married life treating you ? +Great , except for my mother-in-law ! Sometimes I think I married her instead of my husband ! How about you ? +Have you bought War Craft 2 yet ? +Yeah ! I bought it the day it was released . +How do you like it ? +It's a great game . There are a lot of new characters . +Did it cost very much +It cost about thirty . Most games cost about that much . +Mechwarrior is such a good game . The graphics are awesome ! +Oh , I know what you mean . I'm addicted to that game . +My roommate always wants to play it . But I told her to buy her own game . +Yeah , my roommate likes to watch me play . He says it's like watching a movie . +I've never seen such good graphics . +And I've never heard such good sound in a game . +We've got very good workshop facilities here . We do all our own servicing and most repairs . We have separate areas for welding , grinding and sawing . +Is there anything you don't do in-house ? +Yes . If we don't have the facilities to deal with it here , we send it out for maintenance . +Is that more expensive ? +It depends on the job . It's actually more cost-effective than buying specialist equipment that we don't use very often . +Do you think it's time to sign the contract , Mr . Simpson ? +I'd like to look it over before I sign it . +OK , no problem . I hope there are no questions about the terms . +I am fully satisfied with the terms of this contract . +Shall we sign this contract now ? +OK . Where do you want me to sign ? +Just sign at the bottom . +OK . ( Sign ) Once a contract is signed , it has legal effect . +You're right . Thank you for your cooperation . +It's my pleasure . +What are you doing here ? How about your resume now ? +I still have no idea what to do now . +Don't act like this . Please have good thoughts in your mind . What's behind you ? +I could not agree with you more . But I feel worried about what to do next as soon as I begin to write my resume . +There is no need to do like this . We can surf the net and find some templates for resume . +Sounds good . I will do it in a jiffy . OK ! Let's put our heads together . +You said it . We can also find some helpful advice from some experts . +Terrific ! +Do you want to rent a car ? +Yes , I want one with automatic transmission . +I think that one fits you . Do you need insurance ? +Full insurance , please . +OK , by the way , fill the gas tank when you return the car . +Nurse , I am sure to die soon . They just don't tell me the truth , I know . +But I don't think so . No one has ever said a word that you are to die , only yourself . That means you are not willing to die , right ? Actually , you are recovering and what you imagine as your worry is slowing down the treatment . Many cases worse than yours turned out to be hopeful and successful . You must be confident . Your condition is much better physically , but a little bi difficult mentally . The most important thing for you now is cooperation with us . +Is what you said really true ? +Of course . I am a nurse and a nurse tells the truth . +Thank you . +Mmm . Nice and crunchy . And they leave a space uncovered for you to hold ... +They're so much fun to eat . You can suck all the coating off first ... +Or just stuff the whole thing in your mouth at once ! +But that way you're not savoring it . +Whatever . Give me another pack . +Hey ! The movie hasn't even started and they're almost gone ! +Good afternoon . I believe that this house is for sale . +That's right . +May I have a look at it please ? +Yes , of course . Come in . +How long have you lived here ? +I have lived here for twenty years . +Twenty years ! That's a long time . +Yes , I have been here since 1976 . +Then why do you want to sell it ? +Because I have just retired . I want to buy a small house in the country . +How much does this house cost ? +6850 pound . +That's a lot of money ! +It's worth every penny of it . +Well , I like the house , but I can't decide yet . My wife must see it first . +Women always have the last word . +Did you working in a similar position before ? +Yes . I have been with ABC Insurance Company for four years , and before that , I worked with the Pacific surveyor company as claim officer . +Could you tell me the usual procedures to handle such a case ? +Yes , on the shipper's side , when the cargos arrives , all relevant documents will be forwarded to the consignee.Among other things , this party has to check carefully the content of the packing list and weight list.When cargos are found to be damaged of short landed , this party has to call for a joint survey by representatives of the shipping company and the insurance agent.Based on the survey report , they will lodge a clam for compensation . +If you act as our representative what would you do to safeguard our interest ? +I think , first of all , I would ask the consignee to produce survey report on loading , if they can't produce that I would suggest them to refer the case to their shipper . Meanwhile , bad weather could be agood excuse to refuse the responsibility . +Are you able to operate the telex ? +Yes , I used to dispatch telex to shippers and the consignee to inform them of changes of our schedule and other information . +Now can you tell me if you have a good command of both written and spoken English ? +When I was college , I passed Band Six of College English Test.All the foreign business men I've dealt with say my English is quite good . +If you are selected for the position , you must prepare to travel overseas frequently . +No problem , I love it.Thank you for granting me the interview . +Don't you think it's nice out ? +Yes , I think so too . +I think that it's going to rain . +I hope that it does rain . +You like the rain ? +The sky looks so clean after it rains . I love it . +I understand . Rain does make it smell cleaner . +I love most how it is at night after it rains . +How come ? +You can see the stars so much more clearly after it rains . +I would love for it to rain today . +I would too . +Hello , there . Welcome , and what can we assist you with ? +Good morning . I have a Bill of Exchange against Bank Acceptance here . I'd like to discount it . Is that possible here ? +Yes , we can do that . We require the original Trading Contract and also the VAT Invoice and the Commodity Delivery Documents . They all need to be in duplicate . +Yes , I've got all that here . +Do you have a copy of the ID card of the person who took care of the legal aspects of this ? The Legal Rep , I mean ? We also need the Loan Certificate as well . Do you have that ? +A copy or the original ? I guess you need the original , right ? OK , I'll return shortly . +What's wrong with you ? +I have a sore throat and headache . +Do you feel tired ? +Yes , my whole body feels weak . And I really feel terrible . +I'm sorry to hear that . I'll have to examine you . +Ok , go ahead . +Open your mouth and show me your tongue . Say ah ... You have a bad cold . So you must stay in bed for a week . +What seems to be the problem ? +Your secretary seems to think she is being harassed . +What ? You've got to be kidding me ! +I wish I were , but i am deadly serious . She said you invited her to dinner last week . +Of course I did . As recognition for a job well done . Once a month I invite the most productive employee to dinner . +Well , there is no problem there . But she seemed to think that you were angry when she refused , and that your motives are personal and not professional . +I think she's misinterpreted my intentions . What happens now ? +Our harassment policy requires that we have a meeting with the HR manager and Miss Brown . It's quite serious . You could be reprimanded , or even fired if we find evidence that you were pressuring +I understand that . But I hope that we can get to the bottom fo this and show Miss Brown that she misunderstood my reaction . +That's the purpose of the meeting . Sometimes a mediated conversation will straighten things out , and a little discussion and apology can calm the waters . +Good morning . I ’ m looking for a one-bedroom apartment downtown . +Certainly , sir . How much rent did you want to pay ? +Well , I didn ’ t want to pay more than $ 520 a month . +$ 520 a month ? We don ’ t often have apartments as inexpensive as that.We have one apartment for $ 599 a month , on Seventh Avenue . It ’ s near the station . +Is it furnished ? +No . it ’ s unfurnished . It has a kitchen , but no oven.There ’ s a garden in the back , but the tenants can ’ t use it.The landlord lives downstairs.Friends are forbidden in the apartment after midnight . No noise and no television after 11 +No , thank you ! I want an apartment , not a prison . +They must have got in through the kitchen window . +If only we'd remember to close it . +I am afraid your diamond bracelet has gone , darling ! +I wish I'd put it in the bank . +Look ! they've taken your fur coat too . +I know , I am sorry I ever bought it . +I noticed they've taken our radio and left the television . +It's a pity they didn't take the tele . We need a new one . Anyway we can claim for all this from the insurance company . +I wish we could , but we can't , you see , we are not insured . +are you ready to go to the bank ? +sure , what do you need to do there ? +there ’ s problem with my bank statement . There ’ s a mistake on it . I also need to withdraw some money form the ATM . +I have to exchange some money . +that ’ s right . You ’ re going away next week . +I also want to see if my salary has been paid into my bank account . There was a problem last week . +I have to pay my credit bill too . If I don ’ t pay it soon , the credit card company will charge me interest . +their interest rates are usually quite high . It ’ s a good idea to pay off your credit card debts before they attract interest . +Taxi ! Taxi ! +Where to , sir ? +I ’ d like to go to the railway station please . +Please hop in . +Is it a long run to the station ? +It ’ ll take about 20 minutes . +The streets are heavy with traffic at this time of a day , are they ? +Yes , they are . +Is it the rush hour now ? +Yes , it is . Are you in a hurry sir ? +No , I ’ m not . Would you please drive slowly and carefully ? +Yes , sir . +You'd like coffee , wouldn't you ? +I think I'd rather have tea this morning . +What else are you going to have ? +Just an English muffin . What are you going to have ? +That sounds good . I'm going to order the same thing . +Could you pass me the jacket with wide lapels ? +Certainly.here you are . +What do you think of it ? +Very smart ! +Is this Mr David Richton ? +Yes . +Hello , Mr David Richton , this is Min Wang calling from network , i am calling about the reporter position you advertised on the internet . +Oh , yes , Mr Wang , i look at your resume you emailed , very impressive , are you a P . M . ~ meet someone like you , i was thinking of calling you this afternoon , and having a telephone interview . +That is wonderful . +This is the last of the milk . +I know . I intent to go to the store today . +Would you get some that new cereal we saw advertise on TV . +Which one ? +You know . The one with the silly art about how advisements have jump up and down . +Oh , you mean kikois . +Yeah , That ’ s the one . +Well . I ’ ll see , sometimes the store don't have some one of new kinds of cereal . +Come on in.Let me show you the house.Isn ' t it something ? Spacious , bright and clean.And the walls were newly painted.Have you ever seen such a nice house ? +Not really . +This is the kitchen.Every - thing's new . +It's great ! +Are you an outgoing person , or more reserved ? +I wouldn't call myself outgoing . I used to be very shy when I was little , and it seems that I get a little more relaxed a-round people year after year , and have more fun in groups . +Are you more of a follower or a leader ? +I don't try to get in front of people and lead them , particularly . I'd rather cooperate with everybody else , and get the job done by working together . +What basic principles do you apply to your life ? +Not to put off till tomorrow what you can do today . I've found out that time and money get away very easily — you think you have them , and they're gone ! Putting things off just makes it worse later , so even if it's hard at the time , I try to get things done that day and not let them go . +I need order in the court ! +I am ready to make my plea . +What do you plead ? +I plead not guilty . +All the evidence indicates that you are guilty . +I realize that , but I am not guilty . +Is that right ? +I had nothing to do with the crime that was committed . +Who is the guilty party ? +I ’ ll tell you if you let me go . +I ’ d be glad to make a deal with you . +I am willing to tell you that information . +this bloody computer ! +what seems to be the problem ? +my computer just crashed again for the third time today ! +what were you doing when it crashed ? +i was just opening up an attachment in an email about winning the lottery . +I think that might have been a virus . +oh , no ! I thought it seemed a bit strange . +what kind of computer do you have , a Mac or a PC ? +it's a PC . doesn't everyone have a PC in this office ? +no , some people have Macs now , too . +what's the difference ? +PCs often crash from virus , but it's nearly impossible to get a virus from a Mac . +I didn't know that . +has your computer turned back on yet ? +yes . +did you end up losing any of your work ? +fortunately , I saved my work right before it crashed , so it should be OK . +you should probably call the IT department and have them check your computer for virus . +that's a good idea . I'll call them now . Thanks for your help ! +Hey Ted , I saw this ad in the paper . You should take a look . +What is it ? +It ’ s for a job . It looks perfect for you . +Let ’ s see ...

I'll call now to set up an interview . +How many people does your company employ ? +We have over sixty employees . We have about forty factory workers and technical people and the rest are admin and sales staff . We started off with only ten people , so our workforce has grown a lot . +What's your annual turnover ? +It was just over two million euros last year . +Can I help you sir , what do you need ? +I need a packet of cigarettes please . +Of course sir , no problem . +Thanks . +Oh , the food here really is bad . My soup was cold and meat , ur ... it was like leather . +Yes . And they don ’ t give you very much either . I ’ m still hungry . +I ’ m sure this one is especially bad . And the word is so unpleasant . +Don ’ t do this ! Don ’ t do that ! You mustn ’ t do this ! You can ’ t do that ! +Well , I ’ m going to write a letter of complaint . +And we ’ ll all help you . +Why did you buy that painting ? +I think it's beautiful . I want to hang it in the living room . +It looks like some kind of mistake . +That's the beauty of it — the imperfection . +Oh . Who is the artist ? +Your daughter . She sold it at the school auction . +Oh ! How about we hang it over here where everyone can see it ? +I guess you see the value in it , too . +Room service . Can I help you ? +Yes , tomorrow is my friend's birthday.Could I arrange a birthday party for him through you ? +Certainly . +I want to order a large birthday cake , several kinds of cold dishes , pastries and fruits . +Any drinks ? +I've got whiskey and brandy but I need some beer and soda.That ' s all . +I've heard that you provide very good service , so when I need a mover , I call you guys first . +Thanks a lot for calling us . Could you tell me more about what you need us to do ? +Oh , you see , we are on the 8th floor , and moving into the 6th floor in another building . It is about 15 kilometers to get there . +OK , the cost depends on the floor to move to , the distance between two places and the amount of the furniture to move . +How much will it cost in that case ? +Oh , let me see . It fits the second standard rates . Have a look at the contract , please . +Your charge is divided into two parts , the Payment in Advance and the rest . I thought that I should pay all of it before moving . +No , firstly we sign the contract ; you pay 50 % of what it costs , and the rest when we finish moving . +The damage and compensation item confuses me . Could you give some explanation ? +OK . If any of the articles was damaged during moving , you may make a claim for compensation with our department . +How about your present pay ? +Basically I get 5,000 RIB every month . It is a well-paid job with satisfying working hours . +What are your salary expectations ? +I require 6,500 RIB per month as a start . This is my bottom line , the minimum salary I can accept . +Help ! Help ! +What's the trouble , ma'am ? +I was taking a walk when a young man came at me from nowhere and snatched the bag off my hands and ran away . +What did the young man look like ? +Well , he's young , tall and thin . +To which direction did he run ? +Let me see ... my right arm ... oh , to the east . +Good morning ! I am a rookie in our office . +Good morning ! Welcome to our office ! +Nice to meet you ! My name is Peter Smith . +Nice to meet you too ! I am George Williams . +This is my first day at work ! +Well , hope you will enjoy your first day ! +I am new to the work and I will appreciate your guidance ! +I will try my best to assist you if you need any help . +Thank you . It is very kind of you . +You are welcome . +Something wrong ? +Yes . My car is having problems . +What's wrong ? +It won't start . +Do you want me to take a look ? +No , thank you . I think I can handle it . +Well , if you change your mind , let me know . +I will . Thanks . That's sweet of you . +No problem . +I might need some tools though . Do you know where I can get some ? +Sure . I have all kinds of tools . Just ask . I ’ ll be happy to get them for you . +Thanks . That would be very helpful . +Anything for you . Seriously , I don ’ t mind helping . +OK . If you really insist , I could always use the company . +This sucks . I hate buying lingerie . Okay , just find something and get out of here . Alright , these are fine . Oh , no , don ’ t come over here , don ’ t come over here . +You look a little lost , can I help you ? +Um , I ’ m just having a look around . It ’ s my girlfriend ’ s birthday tomorrow . I'm trying to find her something . +Well , you can ’ t give her granny panties . Have you thought about getting her some sleepwear ? We ’ Ve got these lovely , silky nighties . Or , how about a nice panty-and and-bra set . Look , here ’ s a nice satin push-up bra , and you can choose a few different styles of undies to go with it . +Sure that ’ s fine . +This is so awkward ... what ones do I pick ? What size is she ? +Well , do you want a thong , some bikini briefs , maybe this nice pair of lacy boy shorts ? +Just pick something and get the hell out of here . Um , I'll go with these two . This is mortifying . I just want to get this over with . She better thank me for this ... +Here you are , sir . I ’ m sure she ’ ll enjoy them . +Finally ! +I ’ m sorry , sir . I ’ m going to have to take a look inside your bag . +What is your case against the police ? +They arrested me for nothing . +What do you mean ? +They weren ’ t supposed to arrest me . +Didn ’ t they let you go ? +They didn ’ t let me go until the next morning . +So they kept you at the station ? +They sure did . +Did they tell you why they arrested you ? +I matched the description of a robbery suspect . +I understand . +I want to take them to court . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +I want to have a two-day trip around the city . +Would you please have a look at the table ? I think this one fits you . +It's interesting . I think I will take the bus tour . By the way , what about the lodging ? +We will lodge at the indigenes ' houses . It's interesting . +I think it is easier to buy a car than to maintain it . What ’ s worse , I just don ’ t trust those vehicle maintenance shops . Sometimes , they overcharge or don ’ t build those parts I have been paying for . Last week , they even tried to persuade me to buy new parts which really need not to be changed . You know , my car is just half a year old and also good brand . I was just wondering about all these . +There are such shops living on selling parts . I don ’ t like their service either . All they want is your money . But in the long run , they will be losing costumers . Anyway , car service business is new in China . We all have to control what they are doing . Otherwise , they will not improve . +Is it possible to make a compliant call to some organization what it ’ s someone gets rip-off . +Yes , there is . Those organizations exist . You always can call a lawyer if you need legal help . +I would like to have a continental breakfast . +OK , here you are . +Well , could I have coffee instead of orange juice ? +Of course , you can . Wait a moment . +Welcome to Lincoln Bank . Which service do you require today ? +I'm here to ask about a loan . +We have many loans on offer . May I ask what the purpose of the loan is ? +I got married not long ago and we are expecting our first child . I'd like to buy a car for the family . +I see . What you need is one of our Petty Consumer Loans . +Could you tell me what the requirements are for that , please ? +Certainly . It's quite simple really . Do you hold a resident's permit ? +Yes , I do . I was born and bred here . +That's great . We'll also need details of your occupation . +I have all of that with me . I've also banked here for a number of years . +I want to open a saving account , sir . What's the proper procedure ? +First , you fill out the application form and then we'll issue you a passbook . +Is there any minimum for the first deposit ? +No , Even a dollar is all right . Here's your passbook , sir , just sign your name on it . +What is the annual interest rate ? +It varies from time to time . At present it is 6 % . +By the way , can I open a checking account too ? +By all means . But you have to deposit enough money before you can write out your checks . +I decided to give it a go ! +Good for you . What items did you bid on ? +A DENY shirt and one of Serena Williams ' used tennis rackets ! +Your idol ! Wow ! You're even better at finding stuff than me ! +Yep . I placed a bid for the shirt . The minimum was ten so I bet fifty ! +That's not how this game works . +Well , there was a sign that said “ Buy now for seventy . ” +How many bids had been placed before you ? +There are thousands of magazines published in the world to meet the needs of different readers . But only a few of them are influential world-wide . +You have hit the point . It's really hard for a magazine to be well known to people of various ages and educational backgrounds . +But I think Digest is supposed to be the top one . Its subscribers or buyers are from all social classes , perhaps , a majority of them from the educated group . It's quite strange that the readers love it after reading it . +To my mind , the success of Digest is in the clever selection of its articles in each issue . +Well , how was the interview ? +Not too bad , I suppose . +What did the woman ask you ? +Oh , she asked me all sorts of questions . She asked if I smoked , and whether I played sports , she asked me where I went to school , and what subjects I took , and she asked me if I like to meeting people . +Did she ask you any questions about your family ? +Well , she asked me if my parents wanted me to be a steward . +Did she tell you whether you would get the job ? +No , but she told me to telephone her next week . +Dad , where is the Book Building ? +I'm looking . Can you still remember what the conductor said ? +She said that when we get off the bus , the Book Building is right by the bus stop . +But I don't see it . +Oh , Dad , look at the sign , please ! +Oh , my god ! We get off at the wrong stop . I'm so sorry , honey . +OK , Dad , it happens . +It's my fault . So what can we do now ? Walk ? +Come on , I'm too tired ! +OK , you promise don't tell your mother about it , we'll take a taxi . +Sure , I promise . +If you keep your promise , I will also let you watch Ultraman this evening . +What can I do for you , Ma'am ? +I want to buy a cell phone for my daughter . +How old is she ? +She is 17 . It's for her birthday . +We have a new-fashioned cell phone especially designed for young girls . The brand name is Nokia . +Thanks , but I want to have a look at the Motorola's products . +Sure . This is the one I will not hesitate to recommend . Its color and style is so attractive and also the quality is really reliable . +Sounds perfect . I'll take the pink one . Can you pack it for me ? +Sure . By the way , here are some free adornments . Would you like one ? +Why not ? The Sweetheart pendant matches the cell phone well . I'd take this one . +Have a seat over there . I'll pack it up for you right away . +Thanks . +I don't make idle threats . +I guess not . +I hope you're not turning into a sissy on me , Dave . +Look , I want to succeed just as much as you do . Well , maybe not quite that much . +If we let Vince and Elvin continue to run things , invoking is going to fail . +What are you trying to say ? +I'm saying this ship needs a new captain . Are you with me , or aren't you ? +Honey , can you set the table ? +Um , sure . What are we having for dinner ? Do I need to put out anything in particular ? +Well , make sure to put out the pepper and salt shakers . I don ’ t know if your brother is coming tonight so set an extra place mat just in case . +Ok , should I use the fancy silverware ? +Yeah go ahead , forks , spoons and knives . I roasted some meat so be sure to put out some steak knives as well . +I ’ ll also set some cups and saucers for some coffee after dinner . +Honey ? Have you seen our soup bowls ? +They are in the cupboard where you keep the gravy boat and serving dishes . Just be careful because the wine glasses are also there . +Oops ! +Are you being served , sir ? +I'd like to buy a tapestry to decorate my new room . +Artistic tapestry is the highest expression form of the rug weaving art . How about these ones ? +These are beautiful ! Is this the marvelous landscape in Guiling ? +Yes , sir . +How fine the needlework is ! What's the price ? +Ninety dollars . +It's too expensive . +But considering the fine craftsmanship it is worth much more . +You're right . Would you please show me some embroidery ? I also want to buy some embroidered tablecloths to match the tapestry . +Please wait a minute , sir . +Good morning . May I help you , sir ? +Yes . I want to make a remittance to New Delhi . +Do you want an international money order or a banker's draft ? +I'd like a banker's draft please . It's not really urgent . +Could you show me where the ice cream is located ? +Just go to the end of the store . And it will be on your right . We have all the ice creams and frozen foods back there in the freezers . +This is my first time here . +Please notice all of our aisles are numbered and classified by signs on the ceiling . That might help you . +I'm glad I asked you . So this is aisle 6 where I can find all the canned fruits and vegetables . +That ’ s correct . +Have you made a reservation , sir ? +Yes , I reserved a table for six people . +Your name , please ? +Michael donsie . +I see.We had a table reserved for you.This way , please . +Good morning . I understand that you ’ Ve got a problem with your washing machine . I ’ m from the repair company . +Excellent . Come in please . The washing machine is in the bathroom upstairs . It keeps breaking down . +When did it first break down ? +About ten days ago . I ’ Ve tried to use it since then . Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn ’ t . it ’ s very frustrating . +Is it still under warranty . If it is and I can ’ t fix it , it would be quicker and easier to exchange it for a new one . +Yes , it ’ s still under warranty . Over the last few weeks , it ’ s also been making a high-pitch noise when it ’ s in use . +Ok . I ’ ll start by looking at the motor . I ’ ll just unplug it and take a look inside the machine ... oh , yes . There ’ s the problem . It ’ s quite simple . I ’ ll sort it out in a few minutes . +What ’ s wrong with it ? +Part of the motor is loose . I can put it back in place quite easily . +That ’ s great . Thanks very much . Would you like a cup of tea or coffee ? +Let me take care of the check today . +Why ? It's unfair . How about going dutch ? +You paid the last time , because I didn't have any money , remember ? +Oh , come on , I almost forgot . Don't worry about it . I didn't mind picking up the tab last time . +But you really should let me treat one time , I feel like I own you one if I didn't . +Ok , but it's only for this time . +What's the damage ? +It's 12 dollars 80 cents all together . But don't forget the tip , it usually 15 % . +Check , please . +Do you think I should turn down his offer ? +Yes , it's the correct thing to do . +But we may not get another partner . +Even so , we can't do business with him.he ' s not reliable . +ABC Company , my name is Lucy . How can I help you ? +Hello , Lucy , this is Monica . I ’ m calling for the accountant position . I saw the information about the vacancy on your company ’ s website . Is it still available ? +Thank you for your interest . The position is still available . Have you already sent your CV to us ? +No , not yet . First , I want to check about the availability and see if you could give more information . +It is quite urgent for us to fill this position now and I would like to stress that English is a must because of the international contacts and most likely traveling abroad very soon . If all these is not problem for you , I recommend you to mention these in your cover letter and send it to me directly . +The notification period of my current job is not that long and I ’ m quite profession to English and I am happy with the traveling abroad as I ’ m good dealing with the people from other cultures . It makes the whole job even more interesting . I will send my resume to you still this week . +Please switch work shifts with me . +I would if I could . +Why can't you ? +Because I have other obligations . +Well , we've settled the question of price , quality and quantity . Now what about the terms of payment ? +We only accept payment by irrevocable letter of credit payable against shipping documents . +I see . Could you make an exception and accept D / A or D / P ? +I'm afraid not . We insist on a letter of credit . +To tell you the truth , a letter of credit would increase the cost of my import . When I open a letter of credit with a bank , I have to pay a deposit . That'll tie up my money and increase my cost . +Consult your bank and see if they will reduce the required deposit to a minimum . +Still , there will be bank charges in connection with the credit . It would help me greatly if you would accept D / A or D / P . You can draw on me just as if there were a letter of credit . It makes no great difference to you , but it does to me . +Well , Mrs . Wang , you must be aware that an irrevocable letter of cred it gives the exporter the additional protection of the bank er's guarantee . We always require L / C for our exports . And the other way round , we pay by L / C for our imports . +To meet you half way , what do you say if 50 % by L / C and the balance by D / P ? +I'm very sorry , Mrs . Wang . But I'm afraid I can't promise you even that . As I've said , we require payment by L / C . +Thank you very much for your invitation . +It's a great honor to have you here , Mr.Brown . +I'd like to say goodbye to you . +I look forward to seeing you soon.Goodbye ! +Do you have anything in particular that you would like our firm to take into account ? +Yes , my house is far away from here . May I ask for an apartment ? +No problem . We will offer you a room with one bedroom and a kitchen .. +That's great . Thank you so much . +what do you do when you see a homeless person on the streets begging for money ? +I never really give them money because I don't want to contribute to their addictions . +homeless youth can easily become involved with drugs and prostitution . Do you do anything to help them ? +I usually ask them if they want some food and then give them something to eat . I figure that if they're homeless , they're probably hungry . +that's a good idea . Do they usually accept the food ? +almost always . However , sometimes they get mad at me for not giving them any cash . +it's sad how more and more young people are sleeping on the streets in London now . +the cost of living in London is just too high for most people . +it's true . The economy is in a bit of mess at the moment . +did you know that few people can pay the rent on minimum wage , let alone pay for food and other living costs ? +there just isn't enough affordable housing to go around . If only the housing cost would drop , fewer people would be in financial trouble . +added to that is the high unemployment rate right now . +something's got to change---and it's got to happen soon . +politicians like to ignore the problems of the working class . They like to focus on making life easier for the upper class . +I can only hope that one day they will change . +Have you been having any problems lately ? +No , but the nurse at school says that I should have my blood pressure checked . +Do you have a history of high blood pressure ? +No , I have never been told that I have high blood pressure . +High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it hardly ever has symptoms . +How do you check for high blood pressure ? +We are going to use this cuff here , and it will give me a reading . +What do the numbers mean ? +They tell me how much your heart is working at rest and when pumping blood . +Good . That will help me know how I am doing . +Can you tell me what bus to catch from Altadena to downtown LA ? +You can catch the 486 . +That bus goes all the way to LA ? +I believe so . +Is the bus ride long ? +It only takes 45 minutes to an hour . +That's all ? +It's a pretty short trip . +Is there always a lot of people on that bus ? +It only gets crowded once it gets to LA . +Oh okay , thank you . +No problem . +Steven , what are you thinking about ? +Oh , you know , tomorrow is Vicky's birthday . I am thinking what gift to give her . +That's easy . A girl at her age must like beautiful ornaments . How about a hair pin ? +It's a bad idea . Vicky has short hair . +Well , what about a brooch ? +Only old women like that . +Maybe you should ask her what she wants for her birthday . +OK . That's what I can do . +Hello . +This is Soft , may I speak to Lamely ? +This is Lamely . +Hello , Lamley.Are you free tomorrow ? +Yes . +Would you like to go to an activation with me ? +I'd like to.see you tomorrow . +See you . +Could I have my hair dyed ? +Certainly , which color do you want to dye it ? +I want the latest fashion , can you make some suggestions ? +Right now , many girls are dyeing there hair blond . +I don't think that was suit me very well , blond is kind of erratic . +What do you think about pink ? +Oh , no . I think it's better to be a natural chinese , with natural chinese hair.Have you got good brand of hair dye ? +Yes , we have several brands , which one do you prefer ? +I want the best one . +First , you need a shampoo , it makes it easier for your hair to be dyed . Let's down your hair in the water , you hair will be fairly clean that way . +After this dye job , it feels I look younger . +You hair is definitely fresh and shiner looking . +Could I speak to you for a minute ? +What do you want to speak to me about ? +I want to talk about this year ’ s election . +Oh , you do ? +I am volunteering for the campaign . +What made you decide to volunteer ? +I want to be a part of history . +Good for you . +Do you plan on voting ? +I will be voting . +You should try and make it early to your polling place . +Thanks for letting me know . +Hello , this is my claim tag . Can I get my baggage ? +Let me see . En . Here is your baggage . +Thank you . And where can I get a pushcart ? +Walk ahead a little further . There are plenty of them . +Since China was open to the outside world , its trade forms have become much more flexible . One of these commonly used forms is co-production . Would you please do a bit explanation of it , Mr . Walker ? +Well , under this arrangement two parties cooperate to manufacture a product or a category of products , for example , machine tools for export . Each party produces and supplies a part of the components and parts ; one party is a Chinese enterprise , the other , an overseas firm . Most probably , the foreign counterpart contributes technology and equipment , and sometimes , parts and components , while the Chinese enterprises factory building , labor and other resources to the cooperative production . They join hands and fulfill orders together by an agreement or a contract . +I suppose that the assembling of these components and parts , particularly the marketing of the finished products should take place in China . +Not necessarily . It depends on the contract stipulations . They may be marketed in the foreign country where the other party is located , or even in a third country . +I think the principle of co-production is to expand export trade . It's a reciprocal business , isn't it ? +Yes , you are right . Either party is not well-equipped to produce the final products single-handedly , but they can enter into an agreement . In such case , each side contributes different resources to make the manufacture of a certain product or a category of products possible . +What are your terms of payment ? +Our terms are net 30 . +What if we purchase an increased quantity ? Can you give us better terms ? +You would have to order in excess of 10,000 units to be eligible . +We do not have the space in our warehouse to store over 5,000 units . +An option we can offer is two separate shipments.We will house the inventory until you are ready for us to ship it to you . +Hi , I'd like to return this radio . +All right . Do you have the receipt ? +Here it is . +May I ask why you're returning the radio ? +It does not work very well . +Would you like to exchange it ? +No . I'd just like a refund . +Certainly . This will take only a few seconds . +May I help you ? +This dress is beautiful . May I try it on ? +I'm afraid you can't . +What is the material of this dress ? +It's 100 % cotton . +That's good . Can you give me a reduction ? +It's already reduced 20 % . +Do you have any cheaper ones ? +Yes . Please come this way . +May I help you ? +Yes , can I cash my traveler's check here ? +Of course , we'd be happy to cash it for you . +What's the cashing rate ? +Well , it's listed on the electronic board on the left . We cash it at present traveler's check buying rate . +Oh , I see . How much it the service charge ? +The service charge is 1 % of the total amount of the check . +Well , I'd like to cash these four checks for $ 100 each . +Would you please countersign them here ? +OK , there you are . +And your passport please . +Oh , I forgot to bring it . It is in my hotel room . +Sorry , sir . We can't cash the checks for you without your passport . +Well , thanks . I will come again this afternoon , then . +Hi , I was wondering if you have my test results in . +I didn ’ t see anything out of the ordinary , but I want you to log onto our website for a printout of all of the details . +So , basically , I am OK ? +If there were any major problems , I would always notify you by phone to come in . +What will I learn when I see the results on the website ? +A description of each test is given on the site . +What will the numbers tell me ? +The website will give you a normal range and then tell you what your results are . +Are all of my test results on that site ? +Your entire test history is on the site . You can compare your results from other years . +Mr . Tang , we have decided to hire you . How much do you expect to get a month ? +I'm making three thousand yuan a month at my present work . I should not , of course , make a change for less . Could you provide me with a monthly salary of four thousand yuan ? +I don ’ t think we can give you that much as the starting salary . +You know , Mr . Allen , Nowadays this starting salary is not high based on my skills and experience . +Maybe , but there are many fringe benefits here . +What are they ? +Additional to medical benefits , we also offer a rent free house and the use of a car . +But I have my own car and my own house . +OK , 4000 yuan a month . +Thank you very much . +Not at all , it's reasonable . +A table for two , please . +All right . How about this one by the window ? +Thank you . It's fine . +May I take your order now , sir ? +What do you recommend ? We'd like some of your local specialities . +Our restaurant is famous for its seafood . +One cream of fish soup and two portions of prawns . +Shrimp salad is our speciality , took +No , I think it's enough . +What would you like to drink ? +A juice and a coke . +Daddy , what's next ? What else do we do now ? +There is a man-made fishing pond nearby . So , What do you think of going fishing there ? +Great . Let's go . Where is it ? +Patience , boy . A watched pot never boils . We shall get out fishing stuff first and make some baits , too . +We have many cookies left here . Can we use them as baits ? +I don't think fish would like them . Instead , they love earth worms . +So let's go and catch earth worms ! +OK . I think that's enough for today . Let's go . +Daddy , do you think we're gonna catch any fish today ? We've been fishing here for more than two hours , and we get nothing . +That's because you're talking to me all the time . Be patient , or there will be no chance to have sashimi for dinner today . +I love sashimi . Did mom bring any soy sauce for that ? +I suppose she did . Be quiet . There is a fish on the hook . Here it is . Look , a big one . +Cool . Hey , I've got an idea . Why don't we cook it separately ? Half for sashimi , and the other half for grill . +Great idea . But the fact is we have no barbecue with us . Moreover , the sashimi will be great . So why do we bother to waste time on barbecuing the fish ? +Well , all right . There is nothing to complain about . +What a busy week ! +Really ! I've never seen so much work . +Right.How are you going to spend your weekend ? +I don't know . I have no idea . +Would you like to play some tennis with me before going home ? +I'm not good at sports , I have never played tennis , and I know I would be terrible . +You should try it.It ' s a great game . Come on , let me help you . I'm a good player , and a good teacher , too.What do you say ? +OK , but don't say I didn't warn you . +That was a pretty good shot , Mary . +Thanks.This is fun ! +Let me help you with your serve . +No one has ever tried to show me how to play a sport before.Maybe I should learn to do something . +Of course , you can.All you need is a little help and a lot of practice . +Do you really think I can be a good player ? +Well , maybe not a Michael Zhang , but better than the average . Person would you like to play again Wednesday ? +Yes . This has been fun . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes . I've received this Remittance Advice from the bank . +Could I take a look at it , please ? Let me just check these details ... right . +Mr CK Chen contacted me this morning and asked me to come in for the remittance . +I've got the details here . 10,000 RIB sent by Mr CK Chen from Guangzhou . Could I see some ID ? You passport , for example ? +Here you go . Can I deposit some into my account and take some in cash ? I need 1,000 RIB for my expenses , you see . +That's no problem .

It's next Sunday . +Sorry . What shall we get for her ? +What about a cell phone ? She is old enough to have one . +Good idea . Shall we search on line to find an appropriate one or go to a phone store ? +Maybe we can try shopping on line . +Sure .

They ’ re in need of the talent like you . Would you be interested in taking part in an interview ? It is scheduled some time within this week . +Thank you for calling . I really appreciate your kindness . But right now , I ’ m very busy preparing for an interview of another company . I don ’ t think I am available for this opportunity . +Ok , I see . Good luck to you . You have my number . Call me when you change your mind . I can send you more detailed information about company and jobs you might be interested in if you give me your private e-mail address . +Well , I will text to you . Thank you , bye for now . +You ’ re welcome . Bye . +Shut up ... Billy ... BILLY ! +What ! +Wow ! What's that ? +It's my new radio earphone . +It's so small that I didn't notice it . +What were you screaming at me for ? +Do you have shoes here ? +Yes . What do you want to buy ? +I want to buy a pair of shoes for an interview . +What size do you wear ? +My feet is size 37 . +Excuse me , do you have any English songs ? +Yes , we do . They are all in this book . +Great , thanks . +No problem . Just give us a few minutes more to pull them up , though . We don ’ t get that many English singers ! +Oh , I see . +What do you think this flat ? +It's not really all that good.The bedroom is a little small for us . +Small ? But it should be enough for our needs , I think . +But there's no hot water after 10 at night.Sometimes I like to have a hot shower before bed , especially in the winter , it feels good . +That's true , but I love the living room , it's huge and filled with sunshine . +True , and I like the kitchen.It ' s new and well equipped . +It has a great balcony with an incredible view of the park . +You are right.The view is spectacular.But that bedroom is so small.We ' d never be able to fit all of our stuff in there . +May be we could get some new furniture , better stuff . +I haven't thought of that . +Well , that was an interesting documentary ! +For sure ! I didn ’ t really understand some of the technical jargon they used in the film when they talked about social security in the US . +Like what ? +Well , they mentioned how people put away money in something called a 401K ? +Yeah , I know it sounds weird , but a 401k is a type of retirement plan that allows employees to save and invest for their own retirement . Through a 401K , you can authorize your employer to deduct a certain amount of money from your paycheck and invest it in the plan . Everyone tries to contribute as much as possible so that when you retire , you can rest peacefully on your nest egg . +That ’ s interesting and logical I guess . In my country , we also have to contribute to a government-run retirement fund , but most people don ’ t really trust it so they just invest in properties or things like that . +That seems a bit unstable don ’ t you think ? +Yeah , but corrupt governments in the past have created distrust among banks and financial institutions , so now people prefer to have money hidden in a jar or a piggy bank . +I ’ Ve been thinking of doing that lately ! I don ’ t want some banker to run off with my money ! +I don't think we come here at a right time . +What's wrong ? +The museum doesn't open today . +What a pity ! +Where shall we go now ? +Why not have a visit to the zoo ? +Wait a moment , I would like to take some snapshots here . +Is that OK ? +It's so beautiful here . I want to stay longer . +Well , I think we'd better go now . We have to follow the guide . +That's all right . +What experience do you have with office machinery ? +I know how to use the telex machine , the photocopier , and the word processor . By the way , I took a computer course in university . +Where do you want to be in five years ? +I want to be a manager . +Very good . Any questions ? +Nothing . I think I'll take the job . +I really like what you have . But the price for this product is much higher than we expected . I am absolutely not a buyer at that price . +I know it is not the cheapest on the market . But if you take the quality factor into consideration , you will find your company will benefit in the long term . This device is built in with the most advanced technology . Every aspect has reached the international standard . It is a worthwhile investment . +I understand that . If you can lower the price by 10 percent , we have a deal right now . +Well , the best I can do is to lower the price by 5 percent if you are willing to pay 90 % cash of front and 10 % on delivery . That is our best offer . +Err , well , I can ’ t decide right now . Do you mind if I have a small internal discussion on this first ? I will tell you our decision this afternoon . +Sure , no problem . +I need some more amenities , please . +I'm not sure I'm following you , sir . +Specifically , I'm talking about the little things , like soap and shampoo . +Oh , now I understand ! So , you've already used up all your amenities ? +No , I'm not even halfway through my supply . +I'm losing you , sir . What's the problem ? +What's the use of going to a hotel if you don't take home souvenirs ? +Okay , I got it . You're collecting souvenirs ! +There you go . My friends expect me to bring home souvenirs . +Have you visited our souvenir shop , sir ? It's loaded with all kinds of items . +I've never paid for a hotel souvenir in my life , and I don't intend to start now . +Sir , housekeeping will bring you a basketful of amenities momentarily . +Oh , what a pleasant surprise ! Don't you remember me ? +Mr.Black , if I'm not mistaken . +Right ! Glad to see you here . +Pleased to see you.too . +Why don't we get ourselves a new car ? The old one's falling apart . +What a good idea ! +What kind shall we get ? +We could go to more places this time , if you liked . +Yes , fine . +When shall we go and look ? +Why not sometime next week ? +No , let's go on Saturday . +OK . +Where shall we go ? +There's a car dealer down the road.How about going there ? +No , I don't like that place.Why don't we try the garage Martin recommended ? +Fine , We'll do that . +Are you ready to order , sir ? +What's the special here ? +We have steamed chicken , braised pork and Beijing roast duck and so on . Here's the menu . What would you like to have ? +Well , let's try some braised pork , sweet and sour fish and some fried beans . +Would you like anything to drink ? +Just some soft drinks and only a bottle of beer . +All right .

I will try my best to slow down . +I need help in ordering my office supplies . +You can print out a copy of the Order Supply Form from our company web site and turn in into me . What will you be needing ? +I need ink cartridges , staples , and Post-its . +Will you need all of them right away or can some wait ? +Some of these can wait but there are a few things that I need right away . +You can only buy supplies that you have a budget for . Do you know what your budget is ? +We have plenty of money for office supplies . +You can pick these supplies up or they can be delivered to your building .

I ’ ll be there on time . +Excellent . I ’ ll see you on Thursday at 9 30 . +What do you expect to be doing five years from now ? What are your medium-term career goals ? +I would like to be in a managerial role , ideally working do6ely with external clients . I have worked in client-facing roles for more than two years and I enjoy the challenge of keeping the customer satisfied . I think Ifs something I ’ m good at . Finally , I ’ d like to be on the right career path towards eventually becoming a senior manger within the company . I ’ m very aware that these are ambitious goals , however I fell through hard work and dedication they achievable . +This is a precious opportunity for us and our company . +You are right . We ’ re hoping that this is a long-term opportunity , and just a flash in the pan . +What are you eating ? +Rice . +Why ? +Because it's supposed to be good for you . +I'd like to start by talking about prices . +I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have . +Your products are very good , but the price you ask is much too high . +If you consider our high research costs and excellent quality , the price we are asking is only reasonable . +I know , but we want 1000 pieces . This is a very large order . So , can you give us a 25 percent discount ? +Do you like that vintage clock ? It's almost fifty years old . +Really ? It almost looks brand new . And the color designs are so retro . +Well , in the fifties , that clock used to be inside a drive-in burger joint . +No way ! My parents used to hang out at those places . +This is one of my favorite items . +How did you get it ? +Hi , I was wondering how I'd go about getting a credit card . +Certainly , Sir . You do have a Current Account with us right ? +Oh , no , I'm afraid I don't . Is that necessary ? +Yes , Sir . In order to get a credit card with us , you'll need to open a Current Account here . Could you please fill out this form with your relevant details ? +That's done . Do you need to see any credentials ? +Yes , a passport will be fine . +I don't have my passport on me at the moment . I'll just pop back to my office and pick it up . +That's fine , Sir . We'll see you again a little later . +What did you do at the office today ? +I had a really busy day . I had to work a little overtime . In the morning an important client called to place a large order . I had to check some things with my colleagues before confirming the order . +What kind of things did you need to check ? +The most important thing was to check that we had the goods in stock . If the goods are in stock , we can deliver them immediately . I also had to check the price . This customer is very important , so they get special prices . +I see . Did anything else happen ? +I received a lot of emails from potential clients that I had to answer . Each time , I had to check files to see what we had agreed at earlier meetings . Each client has different conditions and requirements . +It must be difficult to remember the details for each individual client . +Yes . That ’ s why we have everything on computer files . We don ’ t use much paper at our office . After lunch , I had to deal with a complaint from a client . +I hate dealing with complaints . Was it a legitimate complaint ? +Yes , it was . I managed to sort out the problem , but I was tied up with the matter for over an hour . +You certainly had a busy day . +That ’ s not all ! I also had to finish writing a sales report for my boss . In the end , I finished everything . I wonder what will be waiting for me tomorrow morning . +Can I help you ? +Yes , I'd like to have a look at the 2 - piece suit . +What size do you wear ? +Middle size +Then please look at this suit . +Does this suit come in other color ? +Yes , we have some in blue , green , black and brown . +How much is the brown one ? +US $ 138 . +Then I'll take it . +Tom , we are in the restaurant now ! +May I take your order ? +I'd like to see the menu , please . +OK , here you are . +Thanks . I am starving . Tom , what are you getting ? +I have no idea . First time here . +Let me see ... What's this , shrimp rolls ? +Oh , it's rice rolls with fried shrimp inside . +Twenty five yuan is a little expensive . +There are twenty rolls in a bowl . You can get another bowl for free if there aren't enough rolls . +Sounds nice . We will take this , two bowls of shrimp rolls . +OK , shrimp rolls . Do you want anything else ? +We will have this one first and order something else later . +OK , wait a moment please . +You know , I'm a pretty laid-back person . I don't like to have lots of arguments or worry about lots of things . For example , I like to keep the apartment clean too , but if it gets a little dirty once in a while , that's not a big deal . +I totally agree . I really like my lifestyle to be drama-free , and I don't want to argue about cleaning the apartment . My last roommate was a drama queen . Every time I forgot to take my shoes off , she got really mad and made a big deal out of it . +Yeah , I really don't want a lot of drama in the apartment . It's important that we don't get on each other's nerves . +That's right . We should try to be laid back and not do lots of things to bother one another . +What post have you held before ? +I have been a salesman . +How many places have you worked altogether ? +Would you make me a dust coat out of this serge ? +Sure.Let me measure for you . +What's the charge ? +$ 200 . The delivery time is 2 weeks . +OK.thank you . +Hello , this is Lucy from ABC Company . Is this Monica ? +Yes , it is . +I am calling to inform you that we have arranged an interview for this accountant position at 2 PM this Thursday afternoon . Please come on time . +Ok , thank you . By the way , could you please tell me how I can get there from A community ? +Oh , you can take the subway , get off at B stop and walk north for several minutes . You will find a building . It will take about 40 minutes in total . +I got it . Thank you so much . +You ’ re welcome . +Excuse me , sir.You are not supposed to smoke here . +I beg your pardon ? +Your seat is in the non-smoking section.So , please refrain from smoking . +Oh , I see.Since I'm a heavy smoker , may I change my seat ? +Then , I'll try to find a seat in the smoking section.One moment , please . Thank you for waiting . I found a seat in the smoking section for you . +Oh , did you ? Thanks a lot . +Hi , sorry to have kept you waiting . +That's all right . +How are you ? +Fine , and you ? +Hello , Sir , may I help you ? +Yes . I would like some information for requesting a loan . +Very well , here are the general terms of our loan policies . We pride ourselves in having the lowest interest rate in the country for personal loans . +I see . So let me get this straight . If I borrow let ’ s say , ten thousand dollars , how much will I have to pay each month ? +It depends on how long you take to pay it back . If we lend you ten thousand dollars at an annual interest rate of ten percent for forty eight months , you would have to pay each month a portion of the loan which is called the principal and another small portion of the annual interest rate . This of course is considering that you don ’ t default on a payment ! +It sounds good but , there is just one problem . I have a terrible credit score . +That is a very serious problem you see , the bank must assess your personal information , past loans , assets and any other relevant information such as your credit score in order to approve your loan . +You know what ? I don ’ t really need the money . Thanks anyways ! +You have got a problem , haven't you ? +Yes . I am getting fat . What should I do ? +Eat less and exercise more . Do not eat too much sweet food . +Good morning , can I help you ? +We'd like to buy some furniture for our new house . +Here are several sets of furniture , including sofa , dressing table , wardrobe , and sideboard . How about this one ? +We like a larger wardrobe . +What do you think ? +It looks great . +I would like to purchase it . +Will this be cash or charge ? +Here , take my credit card . +Just sign here , please . +Sure . Here you go . +Here's your receipt . Have a nice day . +Steven , what's your idea of price ? +The best we can do is $ 120 per case . +I'm afraid that's impossible . You can't expect us to reduce it to that extent . +I think you are well informed about the prevailing market.Some Spanish firms are offering the same at much lower prices . +Price can't be separated from quality . A comparison of the quality of our products with that of rival goods will show you that ours is far superior . +It's true yours are of better quality . But your price is still on the high side even if we take quality into consideration . How about meeting each other half way ? +Well , I'll have to think about it and get back to you in about 30 minutes . +Take your time , please . +Why are you quitting ? +I've had enough . +Excuse me , would you mind taking a picture for us ? +Of course not . Just tell me how to operate it . +It's simple . Just press the button , like this . +I know . Hold your position and say cheese . +Thank you . +What's that ? +These drawings on the wall are process sheets . +Oh . +They describe how each process goes on to the next . +Grandpa , this restaurant looks really old ! How long ago was it built ? +I'm not sure when it started . But I know it's older than me . As a young boy , I used to eat here a lot . +Oh , it's interesting . Dad told me you brought him here when he was young , too . Now , it's my turn . +Yeah . We are the VIP customers here . So , what do you want to eat today ? +I'd like to eat a hamburger and a bottle of coca-cola . +Hey , kid , that's wrong . It's a Chinese restaurant . Let's eat something traditional . +Then there is nothing particular I'd like to eat . Grandpa , what's your favorite here ? +The Chinese rice pudding . Your father loves it , too . You wanna try ? +Sure . Is it sweet ? +Yes , of course . But I think they can make you a salty one , too . +Great , I want it spicy . +Come on . Don's go too far . +I want it to be special . And you know that I always like hot food . +OK then . We shall ask them to put some red chilli on it . +Is the girl in red your girlfriend ? +No , she isn't . My girlfriend hates red . +Who's she then ? +A classmate of mine . +I'm looking for the produce section , please . +All of the produce is in aisle A . +Are bananas on sale today ? +Here you go . Look in this flyer , or check with the produce person . +Here ' s my passport . I'm a visiting scholar . +Do you have anything to declare ? +No , these are all my personal effects . +What's in the bag ? Would you mind opening the bag ? +Not at all . I don't know what's dutiable.Do I have to pay duty on things for my own use ? +No.You don't have to pay duty on personal belongings . +Thank you . +Did you listen to the weather forecast ? +No.Why ? +There ’ s a typhoon coming . +No way ! +Yep , it should be here by tomorrow night . +May I speak to Mrs . Liu , please ? +This is Liu Fang speaking . +Oh , good morning , Mrs . Liu . I'm calling to see if you have received my resume that I sent to you by Email . +May I have your name , please ? +My name is Steven . May I ask whether I can have an interview ? +Of course . In my opinion , you are the strongest candidate for the job . +When is it most convenient for me to visit you to talk about the position ? +I want to set up an interview for you at 9 a . m . next Monday in our company's conference room . +Thank you very much . See you then . +Good morning , may I help you ? +Hello , I want to remit one thousand Yuan to Magnolia Company . +Please fill out this form , please . +OK ... Do I put on Magnolia Company for the receiver ? +Yes . You must put on its name and full address . +OK , I see . Here you are . Is that OK now ? +Let me check . Yes . Your one thousand remittance , please . +Here you are . What is the rate ? +This rate is one percent . That will be 10 Yuan . +OK , when will this remittance arrive ? +Generally it will arrive within a week . +That's good . Is there anything else ? +No . That's all . You have to take good care of this copy of this transfer order . +Thanks , I will . +have you bought a present for jim ’ s birthday yet ? +no , I haven ’ t . I can ’ t think of anything to get him . +I ’ m having the same problem . I want to get something really special . Jim always seem to know exactly what to get people as gifts . +I know . He bought me that beautiful sweater for my birthday . It was exactly what I wanted . And it fit me perfectly ! +he bought me an iron . +that doesn ’ t sound like a great present . +maybe not , but my iron was getting old . In fact , it stopped working the week after jim bought me the new one . It ’ s as if he knew that my old iron would soon stop working ! +let ’ s think . He loves football , doesn ’ t he ? I saw signed photographs of famous footballers in a shop near hear . Let ’ s go and have a look . You know which team he supports , don ’ t you ? +yes , I do . Let ’ s go . We should be able to find something suitable . We should get him something old ... something historic . +it ’ ll be an expensive present , but we can share the cost . +I ’ ll be happy to get him something special , even if it coasts a little extra . +yes . He always get us special gift . We should repay his kindness . +I want to buy some meat . +What kind would you like ? +I want one pound of ground beef . +That's going to be about $ 2.48 . +That will be fine . +What else can I get for you ? +Let me also have three pounds of chicken breasts . +That's going to be $ 4.05 a pound . +Can you tell me the total cost of the chicken breasts ? +That will be $ 12.15 . +That's all I'm going to get today . +That's fine . Let me get your meat . +Oh , dear . My weight has gone up again . +I'm not surprised . You eat too much . +And I suppose sitting at a desk all day at the office doesn't help . +Yes , I think so . +I do wish I could lose weight +Well , why don't you go on a diet ? +I've tried diets before but they've never worked . +Perhaps you should exercise more . Why don't you go to an exercise class ? +Yes , maybe I should . +What is your policy on returns ? +If you bring them back with your receipt within seven days , you'll get a full refund . Also , if you need alterations to the pants , just bring them in and we'll do them for free . +Sounds good . +That'll be $ 70 , please . Will you be paying by cash or charge ? +Charge . Here's my card . +Okay , sir , here you are . Thank you very much . +Thank you . +We have reservations for two at your restaurant tonight . +Yes , What can I do for you , sir ? +I'm calling to see if I can request a specific table . +I can try to arrange that for you . +I proposed to my wife in your restaurant and I would like the same table if I can . +Can you describe for me , where you were sitting ? +It was a little table by the bay windows overlooking the wharf . +You're in luck . We still have that little table . +OK , so this is our newest machine . It was only installed last year . +What's the running speed of the machine ? +About 1,500 metres per minute . It's one of the fastest in the world . We had a few problems with it after start-up but it's running very well now . +And what's the maximum output ? +If we're running at full capacity , it's 160,000 tonnes per annum . +This is 911 . +Send an ambulance fast ! My husband is having a heart attack ! +Slow down and tell me your address . +I live on 1177 Oak lane in Smithfield . Oh , hurry , I don't know what to do ! +An ambulance is on its way right now . They should be there any minute . Are you close to him right now ? +yes , yes , he's right here by me . +Is he breathing ? +Yes , he's breathing , but he's not conscious ! Oh , please hurry ! +what kind of qualities do you look for in your friends ? +I like people who are open and friendly . Those people are usually more active and fun to be with . I like spending time with my friends . We go to bars together or play sports together . +I don ’ t like to make friends with people who aren ’ t honest . Honesty is very important to me . +I think it ’ s important to most people . The problem is that you can usually only find out if someone is honest by getting to know them . +you can find out from their friends . +if you know any of their friends . You can ’ t rely on your friends to introduce people to you all the time . You have to go out and make the first move sometimes . I also like funny people . +oh , I don ’ t . they don ’ t seem to take anything seriously . You never know when they are joking and when they are being serious . +sometimes it can be hard to tell , but if you know the person fairly well , you can usually see from their expression what they are really thinking . +it seems that we generally like different kinds of people . How is it that we are such good friends ? +maybe people don ’ t like to have friends that are all the same .

I am very happy to know you like it . +You must have been prepared for a long time . Some statistics in this presentation are not easy to find , right ? +Well , yes . Several colleagues from different departments helped me with that . They are very supportive . I consulted an economic expert last week . He was very kind to give valuable suggestions . +Now , the effort pays off . You have accomplished something . +Come on , don ’ t flatter me anymore . I took the job because I love being challenged .

Don't you have anything cheaper ? +Did you enjoy your weekend at the highland hotel ? I heard it ’ s and excellent place to stay and has good facilities . +I had a wonderful time . The rooms are not very big , but they are well furnished . The restaurant is excellent and reasonably priced . There ’ s a sauna and a Jacuzzi . +Do they have a swimming pool ? +No , they don ’ t . they have a beauty parlor , but I didn ’ t go there . +What ’ s the service like ? +It ’ s very good . Check in and check out at the reception only took a few minutes . The wait staff is very good . A waiter recommended their baked fish , which tasted wonderful . The hotel was quite full , so I ’ d suggest making a reservation if you intend to go there . The hotel offers a discount at the weekends . +It sounds perfect . Did you have any complaints at all ? +There was a problem with the internet access , so I couldn ’ t check my email , but I didn ’ t complain about it to the management . +I suppose you were happy to forget about the outside world . +Yes , I was . Here ’ s their business card . +Thanks . Was there a mina bar in the room ? +No , there wasn ’ t . There is a bar on the ground floor and of course you can buy drinks in the restaurant to go with your meal . +One of the things I dislike about hotels is that everyone expects tips . +I know .

There is always something fascinating to discover . +The antiques market here in Paris is very famous . It's called Le marche aux puces de Saint-Ouen . +That's not very easy to say . +It's also known as Les Puces , which means ‘ The Fleas ' . +Can you find many bargains there ? +Well , it really depends . Because you are a tourist , it might be harder for you to get really good prices . +Would you like a piece of birthday cake ? +No , thanks , I'll pass . It looks very tempting though . +I thought strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting was your favorite ? +It is . I'm on a diet and strawberry cream cheese cake is not on it . +A diet ? What for ? You are in great shape . +I went to the doctor the other day . My cholesterol is up . +Oooo . This sounds serious . +Not too serious . But he gave me a strict diet to help bring it down . +This is Mary . I just want to let you know that we made an offer to you .

I'll go through it and tell you . +We hope you get on board with us , Please let me know as soon as possible . +I will . Thank you for all . +I'm here to conduct the annual census of foreigners living in Beijing . This is my service ID card . +OK.What do you want to know ? +We only need to verify your information against our records . +OK . +Please show me your passport and Residence Permit . +Here you are . +How long have you been living here ? +Two years . +May I know your occupation ? +I'm a professor at a university . +Is that right ? Which university , if you don't mind my asking ? +I teach at Beijing Normal University , English composition and some conversational classes . +Everything appears to be in order . Thank you for your time . +Good afternoon . What can I do for you today , Madam ? +It's a little sensitive , actually . I need to get hold of some money , and quickly . +OK , Madam . We are here to help . +I already have some Time Deposits with you , but unfortunately , they haven't matured yet . I really don't want to cash those just yet . +I understand completely . There are other options , such as a Personal Pledge Loan . +I've not heard of that , could you tell me more , please ? +The procedure is really simple and convenient . All you need to do is fill in this Loan Application form . +Right ... anything else ? +Of course , we'll need some documentation from you . Like your resident permit , proof of salary and your USD Deposit Certificate , to use as collateral . +And then I just sign here ? You're right ! It certainly is simple and extremely convenient . +Have you got any specific proposal about the terms of payment ? +I wonder if we can make payment for this order by documentary collection . +I'm sorry to say the only term of payment we can accept is 100 % irrevocable letter of credit payable against shipping documents . +But our order this time is very large . To open an L / C for such a large amount at a bank is costly . Can you be a bit more flexible and bend the rule a little ? +I'm afraid not . We insist on a letter of credit , because as seller , we also have the problem of funds being tied up . +To be frank , a letter of credit would increase the cost of my import . When I open a letter of credit with a bank , I have to pay a deposit . That will tie up my money and add to my cost . +Consult your bank and see if they will reduce the required deposit to a minimum . +What kind of personality do you think you have ? +I am quite active and energetic . I approach things enthusiastically and I don't like leaving things half done . +Do you think you are introverted or extroverted ? +I am quite outgoing , I think . I enjoy mixing and doing things with others . +What do you think is the most important thing for you to be happy ? +I maintain that the most important thing is having good friends . A person can't live alt by himself , I think . A friend in need is a friend indeed . So the more really close friends I have , the better . +What kind of people do you like to work with ? +People who are honest , dedicate to their work and have integrity . +What kind of people do you find difficult to work with ? +Slacker and those who violate working procedures and ignoring deadlines . +Plaza Hotel , good morning . Leo speaking . +Ah yes , I'd like to book two rooms for myself and my father . Could you tell me the cost of a single room per night ? +Certainly . A single room is 120 dollars American , per night . +Fine . +And when would you like the rooms ? +From the 25th to the 28tri of September . +Arriving the 25th of September and leaving on the 28th ? Three nights ? +That's right . +Just a minute please . +Yes , we have rooms available then . You require two single rooms ? +Yes , thank you . +Can l have your name please ? +My name is Mona White . +And your father's name , Ms White ? +Jack Webber . +Could you spell the surname please ? +Sure . W-E-double B-E-R . +Double P for Papa ? +No , double B for Bravo +Could you please cover for me two hours this morning ? +Sure . Any specific reason I should know about in case people ask where you are . +I have to see the dentist . We have an appointment for this morning from 9 to 11 o ’ clock . So if there is any phone call , please pick up for me . If there is something urgent , tell them I will be back in two hours . +No problem . Good luck . +Yes , I will need it . Thanks . +How may I help you ? +I ’ m having a problem . +What is it ? +I apparently owe some fees , but I never got the bank statement . +I do apologize for that . +My fees went up , but I didn ’ t even know I had fees to pay . +I see your problem . +What are you going to do about it ? +I will cancel the fees you owe . +I don ’ t have to pay any fees ? +You ’ ll only have to pay the initial fee . +That ’ s fine . I appreciate your help . +I fired Mr . Li today . +That's terrible . +Do I have to deposit my handbag at the checkroom ? +No , you do not have to . The handbag can be taken with you . There is the cart at the entrance . +Thank you . I'd tike to buy some milk powder for my baby . Is there anything that you can recommend for me ? +Well , how old is your baby ? +No more than three . +The milk powder on the second level of the shelf is for the kids from 2 ages to 4 ages . I advice that you should buy the Wyeth brand , the source of milk is imported from New Zealand . +How about its quality ? +You can be assured of it . There are various nutritions which are beneficial for the growth of babies ' bone and cerebrum . +OK , what is this ? +It is feeding-bottle as the free gift . +It is thoughtful . I will take it . +You know that this job requires frequent business travel . Can you accept it ? +Yes , I can . +Mostly short business trips , but sometimes long ones are also needed . +Then how about the expenses during the trips ? +The company will pay all the expenses . +Would you tell me where we often travel ? +Usually Shanghai , Qingdao , Hong Kong and so on . +It's great ! I like these places . +And you need to go abroad once in a while . Can you ? +Yes , I can . +After the business trip , you could apply for reimbursement of all the expenses , such as passage money and accommodation charges and so on . +I see . +You can take a break for one or two weeks after you have a business trip every time , which depends on the circumstances . +OK . Thank you very much for telling me all these things . +We have a holiday next week , don't we ? +Yes , on Monday . +What're you going to do ? +I'm probably going to spend the day looking at cars . +At cars ! You aren't thinking about buying a car , are you ? +Yes , I am . I'd like to be able to get around a little more . +But it will be expensive to have a car in the city , won't it ? +Oh , I don't know . Of course , gasoline costs a lot these days . +But what about parking ? You can't park on the street , can you ? +A lot of people do . I'll try it for a while anyway , but I certainly don't want to pay a lot of parking tickets . +Farmington ? Would you take a look at these catalogue ads that Roger did ? I don ’ t think we can use them . +Hmm . I see what you mean . Have you spoken with Roger ? He usually does better work than this . +I know , Mr . Farmington . But , I ’ m not sure that I should bring this up with him . I think it would be better if you spoke to him . +All right . Leave these ads with me . I ’ ll speak to him this morning . +Is there anything I can dor you ? +Yes . I am looking for a restaurant with a cheerful atmosphere . +Why not go the youth restaurant ? You will have a happy lunch there . +Well , thanks for your help . +I need to get internet . +Which kind of internet connection do you want to get ? +What kind can I get ? +There is dial-up or DEL . +Which one do you feel is best ? +I would get DEL if I were you . +DEL is better than dial-up ? +It's the best choice ; plus , it won't tie up your phone line . +I'm not sure what that means . +Dial-up is connected through your phone , unlike DEL . +That'll make it impossible for me to use . +Exactly . With DEL you don't have that problem . +How many people are traveling with you today , miss ? +Just me . I'm traveling alone . +And how many bags do you have ? +Just one carry-on and one that I want to check . +You must be going to some island to relax in the sun where all you need is a swim suit and a toothbrush . +That's right . +Well , you have fun . +I will have fun . +Thank God , it's Friday ! Time for a drink ! Let's hit the bars ! +OK . I don't mind going bar hopping with an expert like you . +Should we start with beer or wine or go straight to the hard liquor ? +I think I'll have a glass of wine . Let's see ... they have red wine , white wine and port . They even have sangria ! It's the happy hour special . +Port's too sweet . It's a dessert wine . A dry red French wine would be nice with meat . A glass of chilled white German wine would be good with fish . But , we're not eating and it's hot out , so I think I'll have a tall glass of sangria with ice . +Good choice ! But , what's your favorite kind of hard liquor ? +I like to stick to the clean stuff , like vodka , gin , white rum and other clear spirits . +Do you know how the national flag of Canada looks like ? +I don't know . +There is a maple leaf on the flag . +What is the great trait in your personality ? +I suppose my strong point is that I like developing new things and ideas . +So you may like inventive jobs . +Yes , I like inventive jobs and I am capable and responsible . +What would you be doing in U . S . A ? +Most of the time I'll be on a tour , enjoying the beautiful scenery there . +What do you want to see particularly ? +I'll go to the Yellow Stone Park , and Great Canyon . +I'd like to have these shirts washed and ironed . +Ok , do you want us to use starch ? +Yes , heavy starch in the collar , please . +Yes , sir .

His probation period is up tomorrow and I don't think he's ready to pass . +what seems to be the problem ? +well , he was supposed to be able to learn his job in 30 days , but he just doesn't seem to know what he's doing . +if you gave him another 30 days , do you think he could figure it out by then ? +to be honest , he has no authority . He's a hard-worker , but no one listens to him . +I see . Not everyone is cut out to work in management . +I know . It'd be great if we could transfer him to a department where he doesn't have to work with people . +there's an opening in the creative design department . It involves working with computers . +that's perfect . I'll let him know tomorrow .

What was your main work content ? +My main duties include designing survey sheets , transferring them to the dispatchers , making telephone covering on blurred information and processing the data and doing the primary analysis . +What had you gained mainly from this survey activity ? +First , it was how to design survey sheets according to the subjects , because we had to prevent the questions from being too influential and we must make sure that every question was balanced and equitable . Secondly , it was how to get information through telephone covering in the fastest and most effectively way , because the person doing the survey usually doesn ’ t have the patience to wait for long feedback . So the way we put up questions must be clear and direct and only by this means can we get accurate data . +Well , we've settled everything in connection with this transaction except the question of the mode of payment . +Because this order is a comparatively big one , we would like to pay by time L / C , say , 60 days L / C . +Payment by sight L / C is quite usual in international trade , and as a rule , we only accept payment by sight L / C . +But we have only moderate mean at hand . If you can do us a special favor this time and allow us to delay payment , we'd really appreciate it . +Accepting time L / C is unusual and I've never done it before , but we could consider your request . I'll phone our company to see what they say . +Thank you for your consideration . When will you let me know your answer ? +This afternoon . +May I help you ? +Yes , I'd like to buy these razors . +Okay , that'll be $ 6.85 with tax . +Excuse me , are you Sara Wilson ? +Yes , I am .

My name is Ruth Joy . +Just a moment , please , while I check . That's correct.You have a double room on the fifth floor . +Plastic bags are widely used nowadays . +But they're hard to be disposed of . +In this aspect , I think , Pater bags have the edge on plastic bags . +Room service .

By the way , what shall we do with the plates when we finish our meal ? +Just leave them outside the door . We will take care of it . +I see .

It got three stars in the latest restaurant review . +No , thank you , I want to go out on the town . What other ideas do you have ? +There's always Gramercy Tavern . They have live jazz . The food is delicious , but very expensive . +That sounds like a good place to take a date . Can you make a reservation for me ? +As you wish , sir . You'll have a wonderful time there . +Hello , is this apartment management ? +Can I help you ? +Yes , this is the tenant of apartment ten . I guess my kitchen sink is clogging up again , and so is the bathtub . +Alright . I'll send someone over tomorrow . +Um , I'd really appreciate it if you send someone over to fix it today . It's really a bother . I can't cook or take a shower . +Fine , I'll be up in a few minutes . +Thanks , I appreciated it . +Can I make preservation now ? +Sure . At what time ? +9:45 , please .

Thank you ! +Here are your menus and the wine menu , and would you like to order your drinks now ? +Yes , I would like a vodka gimlet , please . +Sure , no problem , sir . +Thank you very much . +Mr . Smith , I would like to get right to the point here . First , we need to talk about how much each company will pay . +Well , we want to have the largest share . Our company is much larger than yours , and we have been in business longer . +Let's look at that another way . The major point is the value that we add , not who has been in business longer , or is bigger . +What are you thinking about ? +We do not want to place ourselves in an inferior position . We are a good , small company---that's why you are interested . +Then , what would make you feel more comfortable ? +If you take a 75 % position in the venture , we would take a back seat to you . +Are you planning on voting ? +Yes . What about you ? +Yes , but this will be my first time voting . +Really ? +Yes , and I have no idea how to do it . +Voting is simple . +I don ’ t know any of the laws they ’ re trying to pass . +That ’ s okay . They describe everything on the ballot . +I didn ’ t know that . +Don ’ t worry . You ’ ll be fine . +That ’ s good to know . +Congratulations on your first voting day . +Would you like anything else , sir ? +May I have some water , please ? +Certainly . Would you like your coffee with your dinner or later ? +With my dinner , please . And can you take my order for dessert later ? +Of course . +You are in the pink recently . How do you make it ? +Well , I attend an aerobic class three times a week . +Are you tired after class ? +No . And on the contrary , I feel young , fresh and energetic . +Excuse me , can you recommend some places for us to go tonight ? +Since it's your first time to Vienna , I think you should go to the concert . +Good idea . My wife has a fine ear for music . I am sure she would like it . +Have a nice evening . +May I please speak to Tom ? +Tom has gone to lunch . +I'll just try him again . +Do you want me to have him give you a call ? +No , but what time do you expect him back ? +He should be back in about forty minutes . +What in the world is that smell ? +The aroma of roasting coffee beans . +Smells like you're baking something . What are those ? +Green beans . They pop and turn brown when you roast them . +Cool ! But isn't that a hot air popcorn popper ? +This machine roasts the beans just right . If you roast them too long , or the temperature is too hot ... +The beans will burn . I know . I've tasted burnt coffee before ... yuck ! +Bob , did you see our supervisor ? I need him to sign this paper . +He is in his office , but you'd better choose your words carefully while talking to him . +What's up ? +Nothing . But he is in a bad mood today . +Thanks for the warning . +That's all right . +I love breathing fresh air in the suburb places , while sitting in the morning sunshine . +I can't agree more , honey . We need to get away from work from time to time . +Yeah , just return to nature and feel the thrills of its beauty . +We are nor alone here . So many other families ! +Sure . The sunny days of spring are ideal for outdoor gatherings . +Well , let's go over there and put a blanket on the lawn . +OK , you go back to our car and fetch the picnic stuff . +Oh , so heavy ! What have you put in here ? +Nothing special . Food , drinks , and Daniel's kangaroo toys . +Toys ? Why do we need toys for a picnic ? +He said he would like to be our tour director and he lined up many things to do . +Sure , then . May it really be a day of enjoyment . Other than that , we can also teach him something about science . +Science ? What are you talking about ? Forget about your science , OK ? It's a picnic ! +I mean we can inspire him for a deeper understanding of the natural world . +I can't agree on that . Just cut it out . Give him a break and don't spoil the day . +Well , OK . you are always right . +Hey , Robert , that's a nice shirt you are wearing . Where did you get it ? +Thanks , I like it too . I bought it at the nearby department store . +That's nice . Do you know you can get one at the wholesale market near the zoo for a much lower price ? +Yeah , I know that . But at those places . the prices they ask you are ridiculously high , and if you don't bargain hard , you will get ripped-off . +True , learning how to haggle the price is one of the things people have to pick up when they come to China for the first time . +Yeah , but personally I hate bargaining . If I bargain , I might come to a lower price . But I will never know the true price of what I am buying , and I'll always have the feeling that I am over charged at those places . +Yeah , I have the same feeling . Also there is another thing that bothers me the quality . Things in a department store are usually quality-guaranteed . But at a wholesale market , you never know whether what you are buying are of good quality or not . +That's why I like department stores more . Shopping at a wholesale market like the locals is one of the few things I am unable to grow accustomed to . +I understand . While it's always good to follow the local customs , I guess there are exceptions . +Would you mind if I ask the insurance policy of our company ? +No , I don't . Please . +I wonder whether I can enjoy the life insurance and health insurance . +Of course . And 2 - week paid vacation a year , a 5 - day work week . +Hello , I'm returning your phone call . +I'm glad that you could get back to me so fast . +No problem , but what were you calling about ? +I needed to talk to you about your son . +Is he messing up in school ? +He was acting up in class one day last week . +What was he doing ? +He wouldn't stop talking throughout the class . +I don't know what's gotten into him . +If you could , would you please talk to him ? +I will get right on that , and I am very sorry . +I really appreciate your help . +Are you from America ? +No . I am Canadian . Are you Chinese ? +Yes . Nice to meet you ! +Nice to meet you , too . Let me show you around . +Thanks , I will appreciate it . How long have you been here ? +About two years , but it seems as if I got here yesterday . +That's right . Once the contract with Stars.com is final , we'll deal with Zina . +I can't wait to see the expression on her face when we dump her . +Don't jump the gun . She's in the driver's seat right now . You have to be patient . +Don't worry . I'm patient , but vengeance will be mine . +Settle down , Elvin . If you're not careful , you'll give our plan away . Zina's smart , you know . +Hi . I'm looking for some good deals on produce . +You might want to try the mangoes . +Can you describe a mango to me ? +It's a fruit a little smaller than a grapefruit . It has a big seed in it . +Do I eat the seed ? +Maybe some animals eat the seed , but humans don't . You'd have to soak it for 10 years . +What's the price of these mangoes ? +Today you get a 50 - percent discount . They're only $ 1 each . +Tell me what they taste like . +Their flesh is soft and juicy . It has a citrus taste . It's sweet . +Do I need to buy them ripe , or will they ripen at home ? +Just press into it gently with your thumb . If it feels soft , it's ready to eat . +Where do mangoes come from ? +These are from Guatemala , but we're going to start getting mangoes from India . +Hello , can I speak to Alice , please ? +Hold on , please . +Thank you . +Sorry , but she ’ s out . +Could you tell her Tom Green called ? +I ’ d be glad to . +Well , let's have your firm order . +Yes , here is our offer , 30,000 skirts at 200 yuan per skirt , FOB New York . You will find our price comes in line with the prevailing market . +Your price is rather high . We cannot accept it . Can you bring the price down a little ? +In fact , if it weren't for our good relations , we wouldn't consider making you a firm order at this price . +I can't agree with you . We have quotation from other sources too . Their prices are lower than yours . +But you know our design is superior to any other products from other companies . In fact , there is no room to negotiate the price now . You should be aware that the production cost alone has doubled in the past year . +It doesn't seem very hopeful to close the deal on this price . +Are you still coming to my place for dinner tomorrow night ? +Of course . Is the dinner still on ? +Yes , I was just wondering how you and your roommate were planning on coming to my place . +We were planning on walking both ways since the weather is still nice . +That's what I thought you would do . Listen , I live in a bit of a rough neighborhood . It's just down the street from all the bars . You probably don't want to be walking around after dark . +It can't be that bad . +I wish it wasn't , but there is actually a lot of crime and prostitution around here . +Really ? I never would have guessed . The criminals must only come out in the evenings , because I've never noticed anything strange when I've been at your house in the daytime . +Do me a favor , and take a taxi . It'd make me feel a lot better . +Ok , we will . How do you get around in the evenings ? +When I first moved in , I walked everywhere . But within a week , I had my purse stolen — just a block away from the police station ! Now , I always take public transportation . +Has anything else happened to you ? +Nothing else has happened to me , but I have seen quite a few fights on the streets after the bars close . +Well , we'll be careful . Thanks for letting me know . +Dad , I've finished my homework . +Well , what game do you want to play ? +Do you want to play poker ? +Do you know how to play it ? +I'll teach you . +OK . Teach me how to play the game . +Well , Betty . Since you ’ Ve done well during the probation period , we decided to employ you formally . And now we need to sign the formal agreement . +Thank you very much , Mr . Smith . I am very happy that I ’ ll be a member of your team . May I see the agreement first ? +Of course . If you have any questions , just bring them out . +OK , thank you . Well , I find that the salary level in this agreement is not like what you have said in the interview . Can you give me some explanations ? +Well , it ’ s like this , during your first year , you will enjoy this salary level , a year later , we ’ ll increase your salary by 20 % . +Can we add up this item to the agreement ? +Yes , maybe the personnel department made some mistakes in making the agreement . Do you have any other questions ? +No , thank you . Shall we sign the agreement now ? +Yes , welcome to our company . I hope we can cooperate happily . +Thank you . I'll work hard . +I ’ d like to open a current account . +Certainly . May I see your social security and your ID Please . +Here your are . I wonder how much interest can I earn for my current account . +Oh . Current account don ’ t pay our interest . +Why is that ? +It ’ s primarily design for business transactions . That is write checks to pay the bills , buying things and sending money . We won ’ t expect a large amount of deposit in current account . +I see . How do I draw money from my news then . +May I bring you a salad ? +Oh , yes.What do you recommend today ? +Rose-petal salad . +OK , I'll have it for change . +Hello , Shogun Restaurant . +Hi , I would like to make a dinner reservation . +Of course , what evening will you be joining us on ? +We will need the reservation for Tuesday night . +What time would you like the reservation for ? +We would prefer 7 +For how many people +There will be 4 of us . +Fine , I can seat you at 7 +Thank you . The last name is Foster . +See you at 7 +Thank you so much . I appreciate your help . +Good afternoon . What can I help you with today ? +I have a Time Deposit here and I'd like to get the money now . +The maturity date isn't for another 10 weeks . Are you aware of that ? +Yes , I know , but I need the money urgently for a family emergency , you see . I know I should apply in writing if I wish to withdraw , but I'm afraid there just isn't time . +The regulations state that the interest is paid at the rate of a Current Deposit , so unfortunately you will lose some interest . +Well , it can't be helped . I really must have that money . Thank you . +May I take your order now ? +Yes , I'll have a boiled egg with toast and orange juice , please . +How would you like your eggs ? +Hard-boiled , please . +And your toast , light or dark ? +Dark , please . +Now or later ? +Later will do . +Will there be anything else ? +No , that's all . Thanks . +One hard-boiled egg with toast and orange juice to follow . +That's right . +Just a moment , please . +Would you like to order now ? +Yes , can you recommend some steak ? +Sure . I think pepper steak is quite good . Many guests like it very much . +OK I will try it . Do you have a small portion ? I am afraid I can't finish the large one . +Yes madam . I will give you the small one . +What else should we do now after the floors are done and after the furniture is in ? +We need to redo the curtains and paint all the walls and ceilings . +I'm the painter . You can be in charge of going to curtain shops to choose curtains . That will probably be pretty expensive too . Having good curtains made isn't cheap . +You mean we can't just buy curtains already made ? +Absolutely not . The windows must be measured , and then the curtains need to be made professionally . So that will take a while . Maybe a month or so . +While the curtains are being made , I can start having people look at the kitchen . I can't stand that old kitchen . I won't be able to cook there . I don't want to use that electric stove . +We need to find an interior decorating company to redecorate the kitchen . I believe in Portland there are shops that specialize in kitchen renovation . I will look in the Yellow Pages . I'd like a kitchen mostly in ivory and light green . +I agree . The colors must be soft and pleasant . You should feel comfortable when you cook our dinners . +Me ? Cook our dinners ? Hah ! You will be cooking , dear . You will cook . +No , I don't think so . I'll be too busy having tea in our new tea room . +Well , I suppose we'll have to hire a cook then . So you won't be able to afford any clothes next year . +And you'll have to sell your motorcycle . And your cameras . Right ? +Maybe I'll cook once or twice a week . How is that ? +Four times might be enough . Not once or twice . +We'd better cover the porcelain ware against All Risks . +All right . Our insurance coverage is 110 % of the invoice value , up to the port of destination only . +I'd like to have the insurance of the goods covered up to 130 % of the invoice amount . +Ok , this premium for the difference between 130 % and 110 % of the invoice value should be borne by the buyer . +That's understood . +I'm afraid I forgot to lock the door . +You're so careless , Billy . +Sorry , Mum , I'll lock it right away . +I've done it for you . +Can I help you ? +Yes , I want to buy a suit . +What about the red one ? It's the best seller . +Yeah , it's quite cute . I don't think it will fit me . I would prefer a darker color . Have you a black one ? +Yes , We have . +Excuse me . I would like to book a table at 13:00 . +Sure , for how many ? +Three seats , please . +May I have your name ? +Speed Airlines Reservation . May I help you ? +Yes . Do you have any flight to Paris on 15th ? I want one leaving in the afternoon . +Yes . Flight DP336 leaves at 15:16 . Is that all right ? +Is it a direct flight ? +No , Sir.It has an hour layover in London . +Well , I don't think I want it . +I feel like to wear my hair in this way . +Oh , it's really popular these days . +Do you think it's suitable for me ? +Honestly speaking , I think the one next to it suits you better . +Even though I really like it , it's just too modern for me . +That's not true . Look over there ! That lady chose the same one and she is surely older than you . +Okay then . And I also want to have my hair colored . +Which color do you like ? +Claret-red . +Nice choice . +How long will it take ? I hope it won't be too long . +I hope not but it will take at least three hours . +Now it's my son's turn to wait . +Could you drive me to the bank ? +Of course , ma'am , Tell me where to go . +Go down this road and then turn left . +All right.There we go . +Can you believe that Obama is our new President ? +I ’ m so happy about that . +Did you vote for him ? +I sure did . How about you ? +I voted for him . +I have complete confidence in our new President . +Is that right ? +I know he will help change America . +I hope so , because America needs a change . +I feel like things are already changing , because he was elected . +I agree with you completely . +I ’ m not worried about our country now that it ’ s in his hands . +You know , you really ought to get a new pair of jeans . Those are falling to pieces . +But this is how I like them , Mum . They ’ re just beginning to look right . +Well , you ’ d better get another pair for work at least or you ’ re sacking on the spot . +I think it might be a good idea to work as a guide . +Where do you intend to go ? +Three Gorges of the Yangtze River . +That's beautiful . +Good morning , Textile Import & Export Company . +Hello , this is Miller . I'm calling about the appointment with Mr . Zhang for this afternoon . Something's just come up , I'm afraid the appointment will have to be rescheduled , I'm very sorry about the change . +That's all right . Maybe we can make another arrangement . +You're very kind to say so . Thank you . Do you think tomorrow morning would suit him ? +I'm afraid there's a bit of a problem . In fact , he's booked up the whole week except tomorrow afternoon . +Tomorrow afternoon , Um ... you see , I've made an appointment with Mr . Comet for tomorrow afternoon . In order to meet Mr . Zhang , I have to cancel the appointment with Mr . Comet , I'm afraid . +I'm terribly sorry , Mr Miller , but Mr . Zhang is really busy this week . +I understand . When do you think I can come and see him tomorrow afternoon ? +Please let me check . Tomorrow afternoon - Yes , he'll be free from 2:00 tomorrow afternoon .

Have you any vacancies for tonight ? +Do you have reservations with us ? +No , I don't think so . +Sorry , madam . We don't have vacancies at the moment . +Amy , could you help me with this work ? +Sorry , I'm busy . Why don't you ask Alice ? +Okay . +What'll it be today , sir ? +Fill it up . Super Unleaded . +Shall we check your oil and tires ? +I just checked the oil myself , but you can check the tires . +( The attendants fill the tank , clean the windscreen , and add some air to the tires . ) All right , sir , that'll be $ 26.50 . +I'll charge it . Here's my card . +Northwest Airline . +Hello , I'd like to reconfirm my flight . +May I have your flight No . , PLS ? +My flight No . is 102 leaving Baiyun Airport at fourteen twenty . +Yes , that's our regular flight to Shanghai .

I want your advice but I don ’ t want you to tell me what to do . I ’ Ve got to make decisions for myself , dad . +Can you tell me the results of my home inspection ? +Before I answer that , I want to make sure that you know what I was looking for . Are you clear on what I was looking for ? +I never had a home inspection before . +I inspect the home for problems that might not be all that apparent in a quick walk-through . +I asked the owners , and they said that everything was great with the house . +The owners might not be aware of everything wrong with the house . Some things are hidden , but might still be a problem for you in the future . +I heard that the owners must fix all of the problems before the escrow closes . +I inform you of the problems . If there are major problems , you can decline to buy the house or they may wish to fix any problems . +What kinds of things did you discover in my home inspection ? +I found some fairly major problems . A major support beam in the roof is broken , and the shower floor leaked and rotted out the second-floor joist . +Hi , Mark ! Hi , do you have a minute ? +Oh , I'm sorry , Nigel . I'm rushing to a meet right now . +Sure , no problem . Can we fix a time to talk later ? +Sure , but this week is crazy for me . Can we make it next Monday ? +Ok , see you 10 o'clock next Monday ! +That's fine .

Your whole day is still ahead of you . +I still have time to explore more of New York , but I need a place to secure my baggage . +We have a storage place here , but you have to leave a deposit . +A deposit , huh ? I would think my baggage would be enough of a deposit . +Just present your VISA card , and there won't be any problems . +That deposit bothers me . Give me a minute . +Okay , sir , but remember how close it is to your checkout time . +What can I do for you ? +Hello , there .

Fried foods are fried in oil or fat . +Got it . +Do not be a couch potato .

The company that sells this car has a car club . +Where you can buy lots of paraphernalia ? +Yeah , and meet other drivers of the same car ! +Cool ! +I know girls love this kind of car . Look , it's got a sunroof ! Imagine ... a cool , starry night ... +So , you're going to use Sarah's car to go cruising for chicks ? +No . I borrowed it to go shopping . +Peter , I hope you will accept my quotation for the air freshener . +I wish I could place a monthly order for a minimum of 50 cases , introducing your goods to my customers , but your price , $ 100 for a case , is too high in this highly competitive market . +I have cut the price the minimum . You know our freshener is a patent product , different from other kinds of fresheners . We could not have quitted it at such a low price if it were not for your past large orders . This price , actually , leaves us with a very small profit . +People here desire medium-priced air freshener only . Please carefully consider my proposal , which will lead to a larger business between us . +The low price I'm offering you is as low as I can go . +Then , I am sorry to say I must regretfully decline your offer and seek quotations for the other suppliers . +I'm sorry , Peter .

It would be a shame not to take advantage of such lovely weather . +It won't be long . No more than ten minutes . Why don't you go ahead and I'll meet you in the park ? +OK ! See you later ! +What ? Your diamond ring is lost ? +Yeah , I just cannot find it anywhere . +It must have been stolen by the few thieves . I ’ ll get it back for you . +You are risking your neck . Don ’ t you know they have guns . +Hello , may I speak to Mr.Baker , please ? +Hold on a second , please . I'll see if he's in . I'm sorry , Mr.Baker had just gone out . Who's calling ? +This is Jones . Can I leave a message ? +Yes , certainly . What's that ? +Please tell him to call Mr.Baker at the Grand Restaurant . It's urgent . +OK , I'll have Mr.Baker call you as soon as he comes back . +Thank you . +You're welcome . +Is this the first time you've come to our city , Mr . Ross ? +Correct . I have expected to visit here for a long time . So fortunate for me , I can realize this expectation and meet you , Arden , and your kind-hearted staff in your company . +I am so honored to hear that . Well , after staying here for several days , you must have some ideas about our company . We have been in the clothes field for many years , and yours brand is also well-known in the country . How about our cooperation ? +That is one of reasons why I am here now . I am really willing to have some cooperation with your company . +We intend to establish business relationship with your company on the basis of equality and mutual benefit . +Good morning . I ’ m thinking about buying some new furniture for my living room . Could you help me ? +Certainly . As you can see , we have several three-piece suites on sale . Feel free to sit down and test how comfortable they are . +I came to your store yesterday and have come back today to make a final decision . I think I like the black leather suite . It's on sale , isn't it . +Yes . The price has been reduced by 50 % . It ’ s a real bargain . +I ’ ll take it . I also need to improve the lighting in my living room . Do you have any suggestions ? +Those floor lamps are very nice and you can vary the brightness according to whether you ’ re reading or watching tv . How big is your living room ? +It ’ s quite large . It ’ s about 40 square meters . +I ’ d suggest you buy two . That allows you to change the brightness of the room better . +OK . I like the design of this lamps . I also need some cushion covers . I ’ ll just browse through those ones over there . +Steven , it's ten o'clock . I'm going to bed . I'm beat . +Okay . I'm going to stay up a while . I've got to go over the household budget . We've sightly overspent this month . +Oh , can't you do it tomorrow ? It's already past 10 . +But I'm not sleepy , darling . I want to finish it today . +Okay . Please close the door to the basement before you go to bed . I don't want the dog down there tonight . +Okay . Good night . Have a good dream . +Good night . +A friend told me I might find a room here . +Yes . I'll have a room free next week . +What do you charge ? +12,000 a year , but you can't get visitors to live in . +OK . Would it be all right to look at the room first ? +Could you come back later ? We're right in the middle of dinner . +What ’ s up ? You look so blue . +Unfortunately , I missed a chance to see a classic movie . +How do you like Chinese food ? +It's my favorite . +What other kind of food do you like ? +I like Indian food as well . +Well , we've settled the problems of price , quality and quantity . What mode of payment do you wish to employ ? +Irrevocable letter of credit , of course . It's the normal terms of payment in international business . +Could you adopt D / A or D / P ? You see I have to pay a deposit when I open a letter of credit . That will tie up my funds and add to the cost of my imports , especially for such a huge order . +You might consult your bank and see if you could reduce the required deposit to a minimum . +Anyhow , there would be certain bank charges . We've done business for years and you should have some faith in our credit . It would help me greatly , if you could accept D / A or D / P . It makes no difference to you , but it does to me . +Well . As you understand , the irrevocable L / C gives the exports additional protection of the banker ’ s guarantee . We always ask for L / C for our exports , and the other way around , we pay by L / C for our imports . We only accept L / C for regular orders . +Hi , I ’ m Mary Smith . +Hello , I ’ m the landlord . John Taylor . +Nice to meet you Mr . Taylor . +Please , call me John . +O . K . , John . Well , can I have a look at the place ? +Sure . Come on it . We just finished rebuilding everything . +Oh , it hasn ’ t been painted yet . +No , we ’ re going to get that done next week . +Well . It ’ s certainly nice . You ’ Ve done a great job . +Thank you . +The rent is $ 600 a month ? +That ’ s right . +Well , I think I ’ ll take it . Can I write you a check for the security deposit now ? $ 1200 ? +Yeah . But why don ’ t you come by your office tomorrow to sign the lease ? +That would be fine . +Thank you . See you tomorrow . +See you . +Excuse me . +Yes , sir . Can I help you ? +Um , this steak , I asked for to be medium rare . +Medium rare , that ’ s right , sir . I remember your order . +Well , I ’ m afraid it isn ’ t . It ’ s a bit too well done and rather tough . Would you mind changing ? +If it is not to your satisfaction , I ’ ll certainly bring you another . But I ’ m afraid you may have to wait for a few minutes . +Yes , that ’ s all right . Thank you very much . +What's this city famous for ? +Tea and silk . +Where can we have the famous tea ? +Preferably at the big department stores . +Thank you . +Good morning , I am Monica . Are you Mr . White , the manager of finance department ? I am the newcomer and also working in the finance department . +Yes , that is me . Nice to meet you , Monica . Welcome on board ! +Thank you . I am very happy to have my own office now . I ’ Ve never had one before . It is very nice . +Well , we have nicer things than that in this company . You will find out soon . +Really ? What could that be ? +Well , I bet you will love them too . If you need help , just ask me any time . I am in the next door . You can also reach me through the extension 508 . +That is very kind of you . Thank you very much . +What kind of document is an invoice ? +It's a document from the seller to the buyer . It contains full particulars of the goods sold , such as quantity , quality , price , forwarding particulars , and terms of payment . +How many kinds of foreign invoices are there ? +Four . They are Loco invoice , FOB invoice , CIF invoice and Franco invoice . +What does the price in different kinds of invoices include ? +By Loco invoice , the price includes only the cost of goods at the warehouse of the seller . By FOB invoice , the price includes the cost before the cargo is delivered . By CIF invoice , the price includes all the expenses of cost freight and insurance . The price in Franco invoice includes all expenses to destination . +Oh , I see . +Good evening , sir . What can I do for you ? +We are going to have a party tonight , would you please look after our baby tonight ? +Well , we have baby-sitting service . We will take good care of your baby . +That's good . +Please fill out the table . +I'd like to buy one of these refrigerators . Do I have to pay in cash ? +No , we have an easy-payment plan . One-third down , and the balance in six months . +Fine . Will you work out the details , please ? +Certainly . Would you sit here please ? I'll call our credit manager . +Thank you . +It's just a formality , but for hire purchase we usually require references . +What kind of references do you need ? +Perhaps your employer could supply us with one . +I'm sure he could , but I prefer not to bother him . Would my bank do ? +Certainly . A simple letter from your bank would be quite satisfactory . +With tomorrow being Labor Day and all , I think it would be a nice gesture to let all the members of laboring staff leave work an hour early . What do you say ? +What ! That sounds perfectly ridiculous ! Labour Day is a holiday for everyone , not just laboring staff ... and we get a whole day off tomorrow anyway , so what's the point of an extra hour tonight ? +Well , we all get Labour Day off as a holiday , the real purpose of the holiday is to remember all the people who do manual or other hard labor . It's to celebrate those who work doing what other people might not be willing to do . I think we ought to do something in honor of the common worker . +So if we did allow the laboring force to go home early , how many people are we talking about ? +In our company , the loborial force makes up 60 % of our workers . We'd just be letting slightly over half the folks out a little early . +Hi , Paulo . How are things going ? +Everything's going very well . The first phase of the project was finished three days ahead of schedule . We're on target to complete phase two by the beginning of week 40 . +That's good news . What stage are you at now ? +Well , we've just finished laying the cabling and we're waiting for the safety inspector to give us the go-ahead to continue . I'm just going to meet him . Do you want to come ? +Good afternoon , Pan Am . May I help you ? +Yes . I'd like to make a reservation to New York for 18th next month . +Please wait a moment . Let me check for you.The flight is FW 711 and it arrives at 10:00 am . +How long is that journey ? +14 hours . +Thank you . +Are you being served , madam ? +Not yet . +Sit here please.How would you like your hair done ? +A trim and perm . +Do you want a cold-wave or perm ? +A cold-wave , please . +Hello , and welcome to IBA . Which service do you require ? +Hello , Shelly , is it ? I'm here on behalf of my company , so I'll need the Corporate Banking Services . +That's no problem ; I can take care of that for you . +I need to have a credit check done for my company . +If it's this kind of consultancy service , I'll have to direct you to another department , I'm afraid . +That's no problem . Do you offer any other consulting services ? +There are many services you can choose from . Why don't you take a look at this leaflet while I find someone who can help you ? +Great . I'll wait right here , thanks . +This'd better be good . I'm about to fire you all and find another company . +We've brought you a little something from the place down the street , Kitty Cafe-Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans ! +Mmm , smells good . Sure better than my instant . But please don't tell me this is another coffee-themed pitch . I thought I told you ... +... yes , but this one has an all-new buzz . +Peter , listen to the lyrics of this song . +What's so special about this song ? +It's from the musical that is so popular in New York right now . Do you like it ? +Not very much . It sounds too emotional to me . +That's why it is so popular . It was recorded by Barbara Tutin . I've heard that when she sang this song on stage the opening night , she created quite a sensation . +I'm afraid my association with Broadway musicals is rather limited . +Well , then , you need an introduction . The school drama club is putting on a musical production . How about going together ? +I have a better idea . Let's go to a jazz concert and I'll give you an education in jazz . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes . I have reserved a table for 2 at 7:30 . My name is Bob . +Yes , sir . Is there anything wrong ? +Three of our friends will join us so can you seat 5 people at that time ? +No problem , sir . We will arrange you a table for 5 . +Thank you . +Good morning , sir . What can I do for you ? +I'm Jack in Room 606 . Can you change the room for me ? It's too noisy . My friend was woken up several times by the noise from upstairs . He said it was too much for him . +I'm awfully sorry , sir . I do apologize . A ten-year-old boy and a mother live upstairs . Maybe the boy is a little bit naughty . +Anyway , I'd like to change our room . +No problem , sir . We'll manage it . +Good afternoon.can I be of any assistance to you ? +Yes , I am looking for a suit . +Here are the suits . Which one would you like ? +Can I have a black one over there ? +Mary , I will have an interview tomorrow . I am so excited ! +Congratulations ! By the way , have you had all the things ready for the interview ? +I only typed several copies of my resume . +That's not enough . You have many other things to prepare . +What are they ? +Besides the resume , you also need the original and copies of your graduation certificate and your ID card . +I see +Also several copies of your one-inch color photos . +Yes , I have those . +You also need to prepare formal clothes for the interview ; a suit should be the best . +I will get it soon . +Have a briefcase ready with all your interview materials in it for easy carrying . +Ok , I will remember . +All these should be enough . Good luck ! +Hello , thanks for calling 123 Tech Help , I ’ m Todd . How can I help you ? +Hello ? Can you help me ? My computer ! Oh man ... +It ’ s okay sir , calm down . What happened ? +I turned on my laptop and it broke ! I mean , the monitor went black ! +Ok , sir , it sounds like you might have a virus . +I don ’ t feel sick , ... let me check ... Nope ! No fever , I ’ m fine . +No , your computer might have a virus , I mean , it has a bad program on it . Maybe that ’ s why it crashed . I recommend that you run an antivirus program in order to safely remove any unwanted spyware or Trojans . +Phew ! . . . Wait a minute , CRASH ? ? ! ! Spyware ? Trojans ! What ? where ? when ? ! +Recently I have been getting headache and my eyes come to see focus properly . +When did you last time have your eyes checked ? +Two years ago . At that time I had no problems . Now I can ’ t even make out something ten meters away . +Come over here . I will test your eyes . First cover your left eye like this , and when I point , please read the chart from the top , and go as far as you can telling me which way the “ E ” points . +All right . +Good . Now the other eye . +Well , this one is worse . +Never mind , just read as far as you can . +I can only read the first three lines . +I wonder if we can change to Channel 5 . +Why ? +I want to know what's on that channel . +Oh , good . +There is a football match . +I prefer TV play to football . +OK . Could you turn it down ? +What are you going to do ? +I'm going to listen to the radio . +Maybe we can enjoy the TV play together . It's interesting . +I am really interested in buying this television . +That's great ! +How much are you selling it for ? +This TV is $ 2500 . +You can't be serious . +That's how much this t . v costs . +That's too expensive for me . +This television is of very high quality . +You can't go down on the price ? +By how much ? +I'll buy it for $ 2000 . +I'm sorry , but the price is final . +What are you doing ? +Look at me . I look so old ! I look as if I were thirty . +Come on ! Stop being so vain . You look great ! You are beautiful ! +Yes , I am , but I think it ’ s time for some plastic surgery I ’ m tired of these wrinkles and sagging skin . See ? +I don ’ t see any wrinkles or sagging skin ! You are 25 , stop being ridiculous . Besides , I think that people who get Boto , have facelifts , or tummy tucks look weird . It doesn ’ t look natural . +Whatever , I think I ’ m gonna get liposuction and a nose job and some breast implants as well . +I think you need to get brain surgery . I honestly don ’ t think you need cosmetic surgery . You look amazing . +I thought you were my friend and would support me on this ! I just want to feel better about myself and feel more attractive . +You don ’ t need plastic surgery to do that . You are fine the way you are and you have guys drooling all over you ! Plus , plastic surgery hurts ! +Really ? +Yeah ! When I got my nose job I was black and blue for a week ! +morning . Phyllis Seymour speaking . +Hi , Ms . Seymour ? It ’ s Allan Parker . I ’ Ve been waiting to call you and thank you for all your help last week . +Thank you very much , Mr . Parker . But , that is my job . +Well , I want to let your boss know that she ’ d better hold on to you ! You ’ re a hard worker ! +What time's your flight ? +It's at 7:30 a . m . +I'll try one of these on . ( The customer tries one of the shoes on . ) It's too big . It slides up and down my heel when I walk around . +Well , let's try a size ten . ( He gets another pair and the customer tries a shoe on ) Looks like a perfect fit . +Not really . It pinches my toes . +I'm sure they'll be fine once you break them in . +I don't know ... well , I guess I'll take them , since you don't seem to have anything better . +Thank you , ma'am . It's been a pleasure doing business with you . +I really need to go shopping . +What do you need to buy ? +I need to look for a new bedroom set . +Where are you going to go look for one ? +I have absolutely no idea . +You don't know where you want to look for one ? +No , I'm not sure where they sell nice bedroom sets . +Do you want to know where I got mine from ? +Yes , because I love yours . +I purchased mine from IKEA . +Is IKEA affordable ? +Not at all , but you get what you pay for . +Hello , could I make a reservation ? +Sure . At what time ? +6 o'dock in the evening . +Let me see ... Sorry , sir . We are fully booked tonight . Would you mind making a reservation some other time ? +Do you offer mutton hot pot at noon ? +Yes , sir . +Then we will come here for lunch tomorrow . +So how's everything going for Christmas ? +I've got all the presents I need , and my family is working together to get all the food ready . That's easy , but I have another problem to deal with . +What's that ? Don't tell me you've still got Christmas cards to write , it usually takes my wife a month to write all of ours . +No , I did that a long time ago . It's about telling my son the truth about Santa Claus . +He still doesn't know that Santa isn't real ? How old is he , eight ? +Yes . He's never said anything so I never told him . But now that he's getting older ... +You think it's better that he should be told ? +Yes , he's too old to believe in that type of things . And I'd rather tell him before the kids at school do . +That happened to my oldest girl . She became really upset when her classmates told her Santa wasn't real . +I can understand . I was lucky with my oldest , she figured it out by herself and didn't tell my son . +Well , when you tell him , be gentle . It's hard for kids to find out something like that . +Hello , this is 5735647 5 . +Hello , this is John . I wanna speak to Linda , please . +This is Linda . +Hi , Linda . I want to invite you to a dinner tomorrow evening . +Really ? What time and which restaurant ? +At seven thirty pm , Longing Chinese restaurant.And I'll go to your home and pick you up at 7 . +Ok , I'll wait for you at 7pm at home . Anything else ? +No , have a nice day ! +Thank you . Bye . +See you . +What ’ s the matter , dear ? +Something awful happened . We went to the Portobello Road , and someone stole my handbag . +Oh , dear . Did you lose a lot of money ? +No . Only a few pounds . But my passport was in the bag . That ’ what I ’ m really worry about . +You must tell the embassy about it . And I think they ’ ll issue you with a new one . +I ’ d better go tomorrow . +No . But you mustn ’ t leave it too long . Did you report it the police ? +Hello , May I help you ? +Yes , we're interested in seeing the rooms for rent . +Oh , how nice ! there are bright rooms and the house is very quiet . +That is exactly what we're looking for . +Well , each room is 40 dollars a week . +That sounds all right to us . +When do you want to move in ? +How about tomorrow afternoon ? +Fine , I'll be expecting you . +See you tomorrow . +Are you still hungry , Ryan ? How about some more squid balls ? +Squid balls ? How about some more fruit ! +Wow ! You really like fruit , huh ? You've already had 3 plates ! +Yeah , it's funny . I usually don't ever eat fruit ... +Well , whatever suits your fancy . I'll press the service button again . +Mon and I got in another fight , Boris . +oh , Iris ! what was it about this time ? +it was over food . I simply wanted some fried chicken but she said no . +I believe she was right . You must know that fried foods contain a lot of fat . +oh , she keeps saying that . She never allows me to have them . +I think you'd better take her advice since health is the greatest wealth . +But , Boris , i am not a baby any more . +well , that's true . +how about your mother ? +she also believes in healthy diet . And she requires us to have regular meals . +poor you . It seems we are in the same boat . +Oh , i am grateful for my mother on this point . her idea of healthy eating helps me a lot keeping fit . +really ? so you don't have fried food at all . +not really . I may have some occasionally for a chance . But I don't indulge myself too much . +how do you manage it ? +it's pretty simple , Iris . Just keep it in mind that you're what you eat . +I think this spring is a good time for us to start looking . +We should plan to move out of here before July . I'm tired of living in apartments . +I know , dear . I am too . But we've just been too busy to look for a house . +We need to find a good realtor . +Not necessary . If we use a realtor to find a house , it will be more expensive . +What do you mean ? +Realtors always get a commission . If the realtor helps us find something , we have to pay him . +But doesn't a realtor help with the contract ? I thought they take care of all the legal troubles . +Yes , that's often true . But you have to pay them . +I still think we should have a realtor . We're new in this country . We don't know all the laws of buying a house . And also , the realtor will inspect the house . He can tell us if the house has any problems . +Of course we need a house inspector . But we can hire an inspector on our own . As for the legal problems , I have friends . They can help us . +So how can we find a house if we don't have a realtor ? +It takes a little more time . We have to check the ads in the paper . Probably also there are special real estate magazines with ads . Then we have to drive to the homes and look at them . +And doesn't the person selling the house have a realtor ? +Sometimes they do , sometimes they don't . It's best to find someone who is selling by themselves . +Why ? +That is because if the seller has a realtor , their price will be higher . He will have to pay a commission to the realtor . +Hmm . It all sounds very complicated . +It is . But buying a house is very important . So it takes time . That's why we haven't done it yet . It's very troublesome . +I want to look in the papers today . Maybe we can see something we like . +All right . I'll buy a newspaper when I go to the drugstore . +So , got any more ideas for the website ? +Well , since we're collecting gifts instead of red envelopes , I made a " for guests only " gift chat room . +But we registered at Macy's . People can just buy gifts there . +The Taiwanese won't have time to buy gifts in America . The chat room is more convenient . +You're right . They can discuss what to get and avoid buying the same things . +Or discuss what gifts they could buy together . +Any other ideas ? +We can also put a guest book on the website for people to sign and write comments . +And we were going to make a collage for each of us using our baby pictures ... +Yeah , that will be the best part . Jack hasn't seen yours yet , right ? +No . He has no idea what a fat little pig I was ! +I have a taste for something sweet . +What are you thinking ? +I want some kind of dessert . +Well , what kind of dessert do you want ? +I was thinking about ordering some kind of pie . +Do you know what kind you want ? +I honestly don't know . +Did you want to know my favorite kind of pie ? +What's your favorite kind ? +My absolutely favorite kind of pie is apple . +That sounds really good to me right now . +I'm happy to help . +Hi , Cole . What can I do for you ? +if you have a few minutes , I'd like to talk to you about my future at this company . +sure , have a seat . +thanks . +let me just grab your file . How long have you worked for us now ? +I've worked here as a sales representative for about a year now . +one year already ? It's amazing how time flies like that . Are you enjoying your job ? +yes , but I'd like to have a chance at job advancement . +I see . What job did you have in mind . +well , I've noticed that is a position available as a sales manager . +do you understand what duties that job would entail ? +yes . I would be directly responsible for all of the sales representatives in my department . I assume there'd be more meetings , paperwork , and other responsibilities , too . +that's right . Do you have any experience in management ? +yes . In fact if you look at my resume , you can see that I was a manager before I started this job . +well , I think you'd be the perfect candidate for the position . According to company policy , you'll still have to go through the formal application procedures though , so fill this application form in +ok . Thanks for your support . +Thanks for coming in today , did you have any trouble finding us ? Please take a seat . +Thank you . +So , let ’ s get started . tell me a bit about your educational background . +Sure ! Well , I graduated with honors from Chesterton University with a major in Business Administration , with a specialization in Information Management , and I minored in psychology . I chose this course of study for two reasons . I wanted to gain some practical , marketable skills , which the information management track provided , and I also feel that interpersonal skills are essential for professional success , hence the minor in psychology . +Interesting . And , your postgraduate studies ? +Well , I am really passionate about consumer behavior , so I pursued a master ’ s in that area . I also strive to keep my professional skills current , so I continuously attend seminars and conferences related management and customer service . +Very good . Now , tell me a little bit about your work experience . I see here that you previously worked at Oracle . +Yeah , I worked as their customer support manager , which brought me a breadth of experience in both client care , and process management . I supervised and coordinated the customer support team as well as implemented new strategies to achieve better customer satisfaction . +Interesting ... +Yes , in this position I was able to make some pretty significant contributions to the overall success of the company . With the different initiatives that we implemented , we lowered our churn rate to about five percent , which had a direct impact on revenue . +We still have an important attraction . +What is that ? +Melbourne Zoo . +What's special about Melbourne Zoo ? +The place is a must-see . This zoo was built in 1862 , and it's the oldest zoo in the world , and still among the best . There are more than 3,000 species of animals here , including the popular kangaroos , wallabies , koalas , and wombats . +Are the animals caged ? +Most animals are not locked up in tiny cages . Rather , they are set in almost natural surroundings or well-tended gardens . +That's really special . +Of course , I'm sure you will like it . +Are you interested in mountaineering ? +Yes . in some sense . I should say I like mountain climbing , you know , because I'm not so professional . How about you ? +I'm the same with you , an amateur mountain climber . 1 went climbing in the Rocky Mountains with my friends last summer vacation . We spent two days in the mountains . +How did you spend the night there ? +We pitched a tent in the night , waiting for the sunrise . Wow ! It was too beautiful . +I had a similar experience , but that was on the top of Tasha Mountain in my country . +Tasha Mountain ? It's very famous in China , isn't it ? +Yes.It IS one of the Five Mountains . +I want to climb Tasha Mountain this summer vacation . Would you be my guide ? +I'd love to . +Bob ! Your eyes look bloodshot . Did you not sleep well ? +I had a drop too much last night . I attended a banquet given by a Chinese colleague of mine . And it was startling for me to find that people are forced to drink against their will on a Chinese table . +You have it right . Alcohol is a medium for communicating emotion in China . Drinking with business partners or would-be friends is a way of solidifying friendship , especially in Northern China . +I just felt embarrassed if I refused to drink when people toasted to me . But if I keep gulping down one cup after another , I'm afraid I would feel unfit or sick . +You lose face by refusing to drink , and the host might think you refuse to give him face . The right thing to do seems to be drinking yourself into incoherence until you throw up . This will endear you to your friends . +A few guys even threw a drunken fit last night , crying hoarsely and bawling whole heaps of nonsense that I never understood . +Then he must be opening his heart to the friends . In a word , as long as you demonstrate a readiness to drink more in spite of already suffering extreme discomfort , no one will jeer at you . +I got you . Next time . I'll preface a toast with a statement like ' I can't drink any more ' and then drink anyway . +May I help you , sir ? +Yes , I'd like some information about the trains to Beijing . +When do you want to go ? +On July 7 , I have to be there well before twelve o ’ clock . +There ’ s a train at 7 a . m . It'll get you there at 11 a . m . But there are many stops along the way . +And I have to get up early , too . Are there any non-stop trains to Beijing ? +Yes , there is one at 8: 30 a . m . That arrives at 11:35 a . m . +Next please . +I want to send this letter to the US by airmail . +That'll be five yuan forty , please . +Where do you work ? +I work at a hospital . +Are you a doctor ? +No , I'm a nurse . +Could you show me some scarves ? +What kind of scarf shall I show you ? We have them in all sorts and sizes . +Show me some of the latest fashion , please . +At your service . Will this suit you ? +Yes , it will ; this must be the foreign produce . +This is Chinese made . +Let me try it on . I think it really suits me . Can you give me some discount on it ? +Yes , it ’ s already fifty yuan off the original price . +But that still sounds expensive . +Sorry , we can ’ t come down any more . +I want to change rooms . In fact , I want a refund for tonight ! +And the problem is , sir ? +Cockroaches have taken over my room ! +My apologies , sir . We'll give you a new room and refund the value of your current room . +Thank you . I want to continue to be able to recommend this hotel to others . +We always try to serve our guests in the most agreeable way possible . +What sights are included on the tour ? Is the entire time spent in Paris ? +All of the major sights are included . You'll visit the Louvre , the Eiffel Tower and all of the top museums . You'll also take a day trip out of Paris to Versailles . +Can you fax a copy of the tour itinerary to me ? +Of course . Just give me your fax number . +It's 212-331-7600 . +Okay . I'll fax the itinerary to you immediately . +Are there other chores for us to do ? +We also have to vacuum the house . +You used to do this by yourself ? +You'd better believe it . +I'll do the second floor and you do the first floor . +No . You're going to do the entire house . +What about you ? +I'm going to mow the lawn . +Why is there no water coming out when you turn on the faucet ? +Not even a single drop ? +Well , it's just drip drip drip . But that's not water . +I don't know . Since yesterday morning , the water pressure has dropped to a little more than a drip . +Did you call the apartment management yet ? +Yeah , I called and they said they'd send someone over . +How long ago did you do that ? +It was 36 hours ago . +That's outrageous ! I just don't understand why they're not on top of this . +Hello , Sir . What can we do for you today ? +Hello . I've been asked to come and see about something called L / C ? What is it exactly ? +L / C stands for ' letter of credit ' . This is necessary for trade between two countries . A Letter of Credit is quite literally that — a letter addressed by the buyer's bank to the seller's bank stating that they could vouch for their good customer , the buyer , and that they would pay the seller in case of the buyer's default . Nowadays , it's sometimes used for domestic trade too . +So the other party could be across the world or just on the other side of the street ! +Excuse me . Could you tell me how to get to the library ? +Of course . It's on Memorial Avenue . +On Memorial Avenue ? +Right . You know where that is ? +I'm afraid I don't . I'm quite new in town . +Well , do you know where the post office is ? +No , I don't . But I do know where the shopping mall is . +That won't help us . Let me see now ... Why don't you follow this street , Elm , until , you get to the second stoplight . +Well , thank you very much , I hope I can find it . +Did you take the job ? +No . +Why not ? +It involves a lot of travel . +May I help you ? +I ’ m not sure where to pick up my ballot . +I can assist you . +How are you going to help me ? +I actually work here . +Fabulous . Thanks . +Do you have ID ? +I have it right here . +Here ’ s your ballot card . +Now what am I supposed to do ? +Just take it to a booth and begin voting . +Sounds good . Thanks . +Something's wrong with my air conditioning . +Leave it to me . I'll fix it . +Sir , your hair is done . Anything else I can do for you ? +I'd like to have a shave . +All right , sir . Would you lie back so that I can shave you ? +Sure . But my beard is rough . +Don't worry , sir . I've never cut a customer . Shall I trim your moustache ? +Yes , please . +Now , I've finished . How do you like it ? +Wonderful . How much is the cost altogether ? +20 dollars . +Here you are . Thank you , bye-bye ! +Bye-bye . Welcome to come next time ! +I would like to order a suit made to my own measure . +I share the same opinion . You are over-weight so it's hard for you to buy clothes . +Maybe I should try to lose weight . +Here is one tailor's shop . Why not order one here ? +How much do you expect to earn ? +I think salary is closely related to the responsibilities of the job . Shall we discuss my responsibilities with your company first ? +If you are hired , you are in charge of the design of toys that can meet the needs of the American market . +I know it is a crucial position , but I can do it well . So I'm asking for 200,000 Yuan a year as a starting salary . +Ok . +Open your suitcase please . +Ok , here you are . +Do you have anything do declare ? +No , I don't . +Any cigarettes ? Baker ? +Yes , I have two cotton of cigarettes one bottle of whisky . +What is the white powder ? Are they drugs ? +No , this is the medicine for the stomach . +May I open one of those ? Let me taste it . +Yes , Sir , go ahead , here you are . +What would you like for dessert ? +What do you have ? +I have apple pie , ice cream , chocolate cake and fruit cocktail . +Can I have apple pie with ice cream ? +Of course . I made the apple pie this morning , so it ’ s lovely and fresh . +I love your home-made apple pie.It ’ s delicious.Can I have another glass of lemonade as well ? +Sure.Can you get it yourself , it ’ s in the refrigerator . +Ok.Would you like a drink too ? +Yes , I ’ ll have an ice tea.You see it next to the lemonade . +Are you having any dessert ? +I ’ ll have apple pie too , but without ice cream . I have to watch my weight . +The central Hotel , please . I have to be there by 6:00 . +We shouldn't have any trouble if the traffic isn't too heavy . Is this your first trip here ? +Yes . I've never been here before . +You haven't seen the sights yet , have you ? +No , I'm open to suggestions . +Why don't you visit the Great Wall first ? +That's a good idea . +Here we are . That will be seven yuan and seventy cents . +Thanks a lot . Here's ten yuan . Keep the change . +Yes , ma'ma . May I help you with your bags ? +Oh , yes , if you like.The large one goes to Washington.The other one I will take with me . All right ? +Flight 36 to Washington.It ' ll be on the plane for you . +Oh , thank you . Thank you very much . +What is your salary now ? +My present pay is RIB 3 , 000 yuan each month . +What's your expected salary ? +What is important to me is the job and the people who I will be working with , so regarding salary , I leave it to you and I am sure that you will make me a fair offer . +I can offer you 5 , 000 yuan per month .

Then I think it's time for us to sign a letter of intent . +Okay . +Wow ! What a beautiful scenic spot . It's so open . And just breathe that fresh air , you can almost taste its freshness . +You can have a bird view of Chilin City from the top of the mountain . +Wonderful ! I'll often come here for mountain climbing . +You should . Many Guiliners , especially the old and the young , will climb mountains here in the coming . +No wonder people say , Even the immortals would rather be Guiliners . +... Quick ! Pass me your binoculars . Look at that bird ... I've never seen one of those before . It's indigenous to Guiling , and an endangered species too . This is lucky . +I didn't know you liked bird watching . +I don't really . I just like wildlife , and you don't get to see too much of it in the city . This place is full of it . +How about this floor lamp ? +Fine , just get it ! We have been shopping for furniture for five hours ! I ’ m so tired ! +We still need to find an armoire and a dresser . +Fine ! I am going to go home and drop off this nightstand , coffee table and love seat while you look for the rest of the things . +Great !

Would you like to leave a message ? +I'm sorry , I didn't hear you clearly . Could you repeat that please ? +Certainly . Mr . Nelson can not take your call at the moment because he is away . He stepped out of the office for the whole afternoon and is not expected back until tomorrow morning . His schedule is very unpredictable at times , so the best way to reach him is to first make an appointment by email or text messaging . +Can I leave a message for him please ? +Of course , can you leave your name and number ? I'm sure Mr . Nelson will return your call as soon as he is able . +My name is Max Richards , my phone number is 898-3423 . Could you ask him to call me back as soon as he gets back , please ?

I just need to ask you a few questions . +All right . +Name , age and date of birth , please . +John Taylor , 32 , May 23 , 1970 . +Health insurance company and policy number ? +I don ’ t have it . +What ? +I don ’ t have health insurance . +Well , this is going to be a very expensive broken leg , Mr . Taylor . +Ohhhh ! +Hi Steve , it's nice to meet you . I hear that you're looking for an apartment , and I just rented a two-bedroom downtown . I'm looking for a compatible roommate . +Great , I'm looking for a place right in that area . Your apartment sounds ideal . +Alright . So tell me , how would you describe yourself ? +I'm pretty social and outgoing , and I like making new friends . But I'm not a party animal , and I like to keep the apartment clean . +I'm like that too . I like to invite friends over sometimes , but I don't want to have lots of crazy parties at the apartment . +Good afternoon . “ ginger ’ s restaurant ” . May I help you ? +Yes .

My phone number is 7539738 2 . that ’ s confirmed then . 7 thirty on Friday . +Yes . Do you intend to order a Lacarne or will you be having our seafood buffet ? +Oh , we ’ d like the buffet please . We ’ Ve heard it ’ s very good . +Welcome to China , Mr . White . +How do you do , Ms . Chi ? +Welcome to this corporation , Mr . White . Won ’ t you please sit down ? +Thank you . +Our representative in your country faxed a letter that you showed an interest in some of our products on display at the Oct . Exhibition there . Now we'd like to know if you have any specific requirements in mind . +Yes , we have . I ’ Ve brought with me a list of the quantity of your products we ’ d like to import for the second half of this year . Here is a copy of it . +Good . Well , Mr . White , most of the items listed are available this year . I hope we can come to an agreement and sign the contracts soon to enable timely delivery . +I hope so , too . Now I'd like some of your sales literature and a price list for all of your export articles . +Here are our catalog and price list . The catalog lists all the commodities we export , and the price list gives indicative prices for all our export articles . +Thank you , Ms Chi . What are your normal export terms ? +We normally export CFR . +What commission do you usually pay for your exports ? As you know , we import on commission basis . +That can be discussed . +All right . When can we meet again for more specific details , Ms Chi ? +What about tomorrow morning at 9 ? I'll come over to your hotel . +I'll be expecting you , then . +Wow , it has a balcony . +Yeah . Complete with nice of you . +How many windows are there in the apartment ? +Mm , let me see . I think there are 2 in the bedroom , and 1 each in the living room and kitchen . +It ’ s just what I want . I think I am ready to sign . +I call the landlord right now . +Before you send the lease , do you have any questions ? +Yes , does the renting include utilities ? +It includes everything except cable TV , and telephone . +How much is the cable ? +It usually comes out about $ 40 a month . +Also , are they allowing the apartment ? +No , I am afraid the apartment isn ’ t permitted . +I see . Do you love pets ? +Sorry , that ’ s out of question . I don ’ t have a problem with it . But , unfortunately , the building doesn ’ t allow it . It ’ s a building regulation . +Good afternoon , sales department.May I help you ? +Could I speak to Mr Wood , please ? +I'll see a piece available , who should I say is calling , please ? +John eng +Hold the line , please.Mr Wood is in the meeting with managing director at the moment I afraid.Can I help you ? +Well , I want to discuss with them the new control we said last week . +I don't think the meet will go on much longer , should I ask him to call you when he is free . +Yes , that will be easiest . +Could I have your name again , please ? +Yes , It's John eng . +And the number ? +01088256798 +Ok , you will be hearing from Mr Wood later in the afternoon then , Mr John . +thank you for help.good bye . +You are welcome , goodbye . +What are you doing tomorrow ? +I'm going to work . +What time will you be home ? +Around 6 o'clock . +We are going to need confirmation on these orders today , and delivery must be made before next Tuesday . Do you think you can handle that ? +We are willing to work with you , but do you think it would be possible to extend your confirmation deadline ? We need to check the warehouse to make sure the products are in stock . The earliest I will be to get back to you is tomorrow morning . +No , I must know today because we have to go to press for the advertisements . Is there anyway you can speed up the process of checking inventory ? +We can do that , but it will cost ... If we have to check our inventory with all our guys on overtime , you're looking at an increased cost of , I'd say , maybe 10 % . +Are you kidding ? +No , and let me tell you why ... If I make my guys stay over to check the inventory , I'll have to pay them at an overtime rate , which is time and a half . I estimate it will probably take 3 guys two hours to finish , that will be an increase on your labor fee by at least 10 % ... if you need the numbers that urgently , I can have them do it . Otherwise , we can wait until tomorrow morning , and I'll call you with the numbers after they're done . It's your call ... +I ’ m going to the beauty parlor . Do you want to come too ? +Sure . Let ’ s go . What are you going to have done ? +I want to have a foot massage and a haircut . +A foot massage sounds like a great idea . They are very relaxing . I ’ d also like to have mudpack on my face . It ’ s supposed to help with your complexion . +Good idea . We should also get pedicures and manicures . +This could become a very expensive trip to the beauty parlor ! +I think it ’ s a good idea to pamper yourself occasionally . Don ’ t you agree ? +Oh , I agree . We both work hard and a little beauty treatment can relieve stress . +Maybe we should try a thai massage too . +What ’ s special about a thai massage ? +That ’ s when the masseuse walks on your back and massages you with her feet . +Sounds painful ! +What are in this folder ? +They are reports of our company . +Are they filed alphabetically ? +No , they are filed according to dates . +Can you find last month ’ s report for me , please ? +No problem , here you are . +Miss Green , do you have life insurance right now ? +No , I don't . I don't have a family , so I don't think I need it . +This year our company is offering a new plan especially for single people like you . I think you might be interested . +Thank you , but I've never thought about it before . +It's OK . I'll leave the pamphlet here . If you need more information , you can call me any time . +Mrs . Miller , you are an old friend of ours . In order to encourage future business and as a gesture of friendship , we are prepared to cut our price by 5 % . Will that satisfy you ? +That's great . Thank you for making this concession . I accept . +Now I repeat , 5,000 transistor sets , specifications as shown in our catalogue at $ 20 each C . I . F . Los Angeles . +Good . Now that the price is decided on , we can discuss the packaging . +As to packaging , we'll pack them two dozens to one carton , gross weight about 25 kilos a carton . +Carton ? +Yes , corrugated cardboard boxes . +Could you use wooden cases instead ? +Why use wooden cases ? +I'm afraid the cardboard boxes are not strong enough for ocean transportation . +Cartons are comparatively light , and there fore easy to handle . They'll not be stowed away with the heavy cargo . Besides , we'll reinforce the cartons with metal straps . +All right . Carton or no carton , the packaging must be waterproof as well as strong enough to stand shock and rough handling . +You needn't worry about that . Cartons are extensively used in our shipments to foreign countries and there have never been complaints from our clients . Now , as regards payment , we have agreed to use dollars , am I right ? +That's right . As soon as I get home , I'll see about the opening of the letter of credit . +Please open the letter of credit 15 to 30 days before the date of delivery so that we'll have enough time to make all the necessary arrangements . Another thing , the L / C should be valid until the 15th day after shipment . +No problem . That can be done . I understand you'll ship the goods before the end of May ? +Right . We'll ship the goods according to the agreed time schedule . Last , but not least , the inspection is to be carried out by Houston Commodities Inspection Bureau , which is final and binding on both parties . +Yes , we agreed to that . We have great confidence in your inspection institution . Through years of dealing with you , we've convinced of your commercial integrity . +Thank you . You can rest assured that we'll do everything possible to prevent de festive commodities from going abroad . However , if there should be any disputes , we wish to have them settled through friendly discussions . +Exactly . That's what we have done in the past . +Well , it seems we have covered everything . We'll have the contract ready in a couple of days . +Can you speed it up and let me have it today ? I'm leaving tomorrow . I've been here for almost a month now , you see . My corporation is urging me to return . I've booked the ticket for tomorrow afternoon's flight at 3 . +Let me see . If we can't get the contract ready by then , we'll send it to you by airmail for your signature . +That's fine too . +Excuse me , Is there a hotel nearby ? +The nearest one is about ten minutes ' walk from here . +how can I get there ? +just walk down this road and you'll find it . it's on the right side . +Amanda , how do you like this peaked cap ? +Didn't you say you want to buy a top hat ? +But I think this one fits me Well . Why don't you try on the sombrero in black ? +I don't like caps at all . +Excuse me . Is this seat taken ? +No , it isn't . +Am I on right bus to Chicago ? +Oh , no . This is going in the opposite direction . +Oh , my God ! +I suggest you get off at the next stop and ask again at the station . +I will . Thank you . +Hi , I want to see the Terra Cotta Warriors in Xi'an . Could you please remind me when we are arriving at that stop ? +Oh . You took the wrong bus . You need to take Bus 151 which goes the opposite direction . +Oh , no ! What should I do now ? +Don't worry . You can get off at the next stop and walk across the street and take the Bus 151 to the opposite direction . +Ok . How many stops do I have to go ? +About 15 stops . +That is a long way to go . It is so kind of you to help me . Thank you very much . +My pleasure . +Do you like the apartment so far ? +I see a problem . +What ’ s the problem ? +I noticed that the faucet in the kitchen is leaking . +That ’ s no big deal . +It ’ s going to be a problem when my water bill comes . +What do you want me to do about it ? +I would like you to fix the problem . +I won ’ t be able to do that right now . +Well , I won ’ t be able to rent the apartment until the problem is fixed . +Fine , I ’ ll have it fixed for you . +I ’ m happy that we ’ Ve come to an agreement . +Excuse me , waiter , would you please give us a menu ? +Sorry , sir , here you are . +Well , do you have a menu in Chinese ? +Please wait a moment , I will bring you one . +How do I look ? I love these braids . They're fun ! +They look great ! Hey , are you hungry ? I know a good Ethiopian restaurant-Meskerem . +An Ethiopian restaurant ? Whoa ! I always think of starving people in Ethiopia . +It's very “ in ” these days . Some of the places are really expensive . +That's so ironic ! Well , what's it like ? Is it your traditional food ? +No . Africans and African-Americans are different in many ways . Our food's different , too . +I heard you were promoted to general manager of IBM ’ s China Head quarters . +That ’ s true . I got the news yesterday . +You did a good job for the company . So , this is your first day in the new position . How do you feel ? +Not bad . I ’ m confident . And I like challenges . +I believe you are cut out for this position . +Thank you . +I've run out of steam . To be honest , I want to be in a different environment . +Is that so ? +Yes . I don't want to be stuck in a rut . I want to move on . +Have you decided ? +Yes , I want to get a better job . +Could you tell me why you want to quit ? +I'm quitting because of the lousy salary and all the difficulties I have in getting along with my colleagues . +Oh , that sounds terrible . Would you be happier with higher pay here ? I " m sure something can be worked out . +I'm afraid not . I've promised my girlfriend . We're going to travel south to find jobs that offer higher pay . +OK . I'd like to say that I've really enjoyed working with you . However , I think you should work harder at your new job and then you can ask for higher pay . +Hello , there . How can I help ? +Hello . I'm hoping to buy some Treasury Certificates today . Are they available ? +Certainly , Visible Treasury Certificates . Then you can get a receipt from the savings office as proof of payment . Hence the ' visible ' , you can see it . +Ah , right . How much do I need to spend ? +The minimum is 100 RIB , and the maximum is 500,000 RIB . +How about Bearer Certificates ? Are they different ? +Yes , they are different because they are printed by the Ministry of Finance in set amounts . Just 100 RIB , 500 RIB and 1,000 RIB , you cannot choose from many amounts , you see . +Could I change these pounds for dollars , please ? +Do you want small bills or large ? +It doesn't matter . +Do you want anything else ? +Yes , I'd like to know the exchange rate for yen . +How are you ? +I ’ m fabulous . +What can I help you with ? +I need to make a withdrawal . +How much are you withdrawing today ? +I need $ 300 . +What account would you like to take this money from ? +Take it from my checking account . +Here ’ s your $ 300 . +Thank you so much . +Will you be needing anything else ? +That ’ s it for today . +Do you mind taking a photo for me ? +Of course not . +That's really kind of you . +I'm afraid I don't know how to use your camera . +Well , it's an automatic camera . You just press the button . +I see . +Thanks a lot . +It's time to go to bed . +But mum , we're watching this movie . +I don't care , it's school in the morning . +Just 10 more minutes . +Mum , pass me some more please ! +Tina , you should have more nutritious food.Don ' t eat these crisps any more . +But the ads say they're most nutritious . +Have you ever heard the ads say anything bad about their products ? +Can I help you ? +Yes , I need to buy a computer for this semester . I was told it is cheaper to buy computers here . +Well , you heard right.You can get an excellent deal on a new computer here.We have great discounts for students . +I don't know much about computers.But I know I want a desktop computer with a lot of memory . And I need a printer . +Well , first let's consider your computer.Here , for example , is a system I highly recommend--the Power Macintosh G3.It comes with 64 megabytes of total memory . +Is that a lot ? Sixty-four ? +Yes , it is . It should be enough for any student needs you might have.What department are you in ? +History . +Well , so you will mostly be using word processing , for writing papers . I recommend the Corel Word Perfect program for word processing.We can talk about software later . Let's talk about your +Thirty percent ? +Yes . +Wow . That's really good.And you think this is really a good system for a graduate student ? +Yes . It's an excellent system . +Hmm . Hey , wait . This has an Apple on it . Is this an Apple computer ? +Yes , it's a Macintosh . It's Apple . Macintosh and Apple are the same thing . +I don't want Macintosh . I want PC . +I'm sorry , but our university computer center only sells Macintosh equipment . +What ? Are you serious ? +Yes . +But nobody uses Macintosh ! +That's not true.Most of the students and professors in the university here use Macintosh.They find it is better for writing and word-processing , and that is what students mostly do . Ma +Yes , I'm from Taiwan . +Well , I know that in most Asian countries Apple is not very popular.But here in America , especially in universities and publishing companies , Apple is very commonly used . +But I need a computer that can handle writing in Chinese . +There are several Chinese writing programs you can use with Macintosh.Chinese is no problem for Apple . +Hmm . I think I should ask some of my friends for advice before I make a decision . I'm sorry . +No , don't be sorry . It's reasonable to ask your friends.But believe me , most of the students here in the university--Asian students included--most of them use Apple . +Well , thanks for your advice . I will probably come back later . +You're very welcome . Here is my card , if you need any help . +Good morning , Sir . Can I help you with something ? +I hope so . I'm not actually a customer here , but I saw an advertisement in yesterday's newspaper about your new bank card . +I see . Yes , the advertisement has proven very effective . Would you like to apply for a card with us ? +Yes , please . But I suppose I'll have to open an account with you first , right ? +That's right . But don't worry ; it's a very simple procedure . +Could I open an account with you today ? +Of course , it can be done right this minute . If you could just fill in this application form for me ? Do you have your ID card with you ? I'll need to see that . +Yes , here you go . And sign here ? +Yes , please . That's being processed now . As soon as the account is set up , we can issue you with a card . +So quick and easy ! Thanks very much . +Welcome to Credit Services . How can I help you ? +Hello . I'm here to talk about my credit card . You see , I'm a corporate card holder and a personal card holder . I've had my personal credit card for ages , but my corporate one is new to me . +Right . Well , the benefits are a little different . With our Corporate Card you can use it for agency collection and payment . +Is there anything else ? +There's quite a long list , actually ! You can use if for business trip expenses , medical expenses , any internal payments . +And I suppose I can do that anywhere ? I do have to travel a lot for my job and it's such a hassle using cash and collecting all the separate receipts . +If you put it on your card , you can get an overall statement that lists all of the transactions . +In just one document ? That will definitely be a time saver . +Can I help you ? +Yes . When is the next train to New York City ? +Let me see ... the train to New York City ... here it is ... daily except Sunday at 10 thirty , 12 twenty and 15 ten . +Aren't there any trains before 10 thirty ? +Sorry , not before 10 thirty . +Then one to New York at 10 thirty . +One way or round trip ? +One way . +A soft seat or hard one ? +How much is a soft ? +$ 15 .

Could you check whether you have received the remittance yet ? +Of course . Do you know which bank it was sent through and the amount and currency ? +Deutsche Bank . It was 25,000 US dollars . +Yes , here it is . That's received and cleared , so it's available for withdrawal . +Can you tell me the price for a bus pass ? +It costs $ 65 to buy a monthly pass . +Is there a cheaper bus pass ? +There are student passes . +For how much ? +It doesn't cost anything for the pass . +It's absolutely free ? +The monthly sticker costs you . +How much is that ? +Each month it'll cost $ 24 for a new sticker . +Let me get the student bus pass . +Let me go get it for you . +Wow , it all looks so good . I ’ m not sure what to choose . +I can recommend the spare ribs . They are very tasty here . +Actually , I ate too much pork yesterday . I fancy a change . +Ok why don ’ t you order the braised fish then ? +That sounds like a good idea . It looks very big though . +Don ’ t worry . I ’ ll help you eat it . +How's it going ? +I'm doing well . How about you ? +Never better , thanks . +So how have you been lately ? +I've actually been pretty good .

There are a lot of people there . +Good luck with that . +Thanks . +Are you a goal-oriented person ? +Yes , I am . That's why I make plans before I do anything . +How do you plan to do your present job ? +I want to make more contact with extra clients and use my organizational skills in the future . +Good morning , everyone . We will get to destination in only one hour . +Oh , yes . +I hope that you had good journey . +Yes .

The new copies will be available next week . +Oh . it's too late . Maybe I should go to other video stores to have a look . +I really want to go to the beach this weekend . +That sounds like fun . What's the weather going to be like ? +I heard that it's going to be warm this weekend . +Is it going to be perfect beach weather ? +I believe so . +Good . I hope it doesn't cool off this weekend . +I know . I really want to go to the beach . +But you know that California weather is really unpredictable . +You're right . One minute it's hot , and then the next minute it's cold . +I really wish the weather would just stay the same . +I do too . That way we can have our activities planned ahead of time . +Yeah , that would make things a lot easier . +What was that ? +I said , " Is there anything I can do ? " +If it's not too much trouble , I would like some help . +It's no trouble at all . I'll carry this suitcase for you . +Good day ! What can we do for you ? +I'm considering buying a new car , the old one hasn't been running too well recently , and was wondering what kind of credit you can offer me . +Buying a new car is a big expense ; we understand that , so we have a variety of loans to suit your needs . +That's great . I'm looking to borrow quite a large sum , though . +With our Personal Automobile Consumer Loan , the borrower can borrow up to 80 % of the purchase price . +That's good news . The car I'm interested in is priced at 120,000 RIB , but I think I can get a bit of discount on that . I can afford to put up around 40,000 RIB myself . +That's great . You will need to make an initial down payment of 20 % , and then we can get going with this . +The funds are all ready to go in my personal account , so let's transfer it . +Hi , I'm here to check in . +Would you please fill out this registration 1 form ? +Thank you ... Excuse me , sir . You forgot to fill in your visa number . +Did I ? Let me see that ...

Are you satisfied with my job ? +How do you feel what you have done ? Did you meet our goals ? +I suppose so . I tried my best to be familiar with all these appliances and office process . Certainly without my colleagues ' help , I could not do these things in such a short period . +Yes . And you also overworked in last month , when Steven asked for leave . I have been very satisfied with your performance . And your dependability has been a great asset . +Thanks for your praise , Madam . +Let me suggest this one . It's an excellent watch , it looks good , and it's only $ 100 . +Hmm . That's not too bad . Does it have a stopwatch ? +Uh , no . Analog watches don't come with stopwatches .

I thought you were pleased with his overall performance . Didn ’ t you just tell me last week how impressed you were with his attitude ? +Yeah , his attitude is great , but he ’ s really unreliable.Sometimes he ’ s really productive , but then other times ... take last Tuesday for instance , he was forty-five minutes late for our morning meeting ! +Well , I ’ m sure he had a perfectly good reason ... +But that ’ s not the only thing ... you know , he really doesn ’ t have the best work ethic , I ’ m constantly catching him on MSN and Facebook when he should be talking to clients . +Yeah , but come on , Geoff , as if you don ’ t check Facebook at work .

I will go to look after him . Catch you later ! +OK . I will catch you later . +Your request for compensation makes me surprised . What happened ? +It is because of the quality . +Could you tell me the particulars ? +I told you that we want first-class goods . So the quality , specification and price are clarified in our contract . Do you remember those details ? +Yes , I do . +The re-examination results indicate that one-third of the goods are not up to standard . +Really ? We began to load the goods after we made sure they were qualified . +I told you the truth . According to the contract , if you fail to honor the contract , we are entitled to cancel it . +Is this the foreign exchange department ? +Yes , can I help you ? +I need some US Dollars . +What kind of currency have you got ? +RIB .

I'd like to end by emphasizing the main points . I'll give you a brief summary . There are three potential areas for development in the future , domestic , overseas market , and the internet . Each of these markets have their own particular need for marketing strategy ... for domestic , we can rely on past research , for overseas markets we depend heavily on our cultural consultants , and for the internet , we need to redo our image to appeal to a young set of consumers . Our main issue here is that we need to be sensitive to the needs of different markets in order to continue to see success . Mark , did you have anything to add ? +Yes , I want to restate one more time the importance of reinventing our company's image to appeal to different customer bases .

I haven ’ t found anything within my price range yet . +How much are you looking to spend ? +I can only afford about 300 pounds a month . +Looks like you ’ re not going to get more than a bedroom in a shared flat with that . +Really ? That ’ s a lot of money to pay for one room . +Well , if you want to live in London , you have to pay the price ! +Do you know of anyone who needs a roommate ? +I can ask around at work . Do you have a preference for makers or non-smokers ? +I ’ d prefer non-smoking roommates , but I guess I ’ ll have to take what I can get ! +How long do you want to sign a contract for ? +I can sign a contract up to a year . I don ’ t know where I ’ ll be after that . +Do you need a furnished or unfurnished apartment ? +I don ’ t have any furniture , so it ’ d be great if it were furnished . +You know that you ’ ll have to pay utilities on top of the rent , right ? +No , I thought that would be included in the rent . +It ’ s not usually included , so you ’ ll have to factor in about 100 pounds more each month for utilities . +I don't think I can afford that . +Don ’ t worry . Sometimes people will give you a discount if you promise to do the cleaning or take care of the children . +That ’ s a good idea . I ’ ll look into finding something like that . +Where is some fresh produce that's on sale ? +Well , I think you'll like the mangoes . +I've never had a mango . +It's a fruit . It has a big stone in it . +Can you eat the stone ? +No . You would break all your teeth on it . +How much are these mangoes ? +The sale price today is $ 1 each . +Can you describe their taste ? +They usually taste sweet , but they remind me of an orange . +How can I tell if they're ripe ? +Don't cut into them until you can feel that they're soft on the outside . +What country produces them ? +They come from tropical countries . +Where are you going ? +Take me to the center station , please +OK , here we go . +Do you think you can get me there seven thirty ? +We shouldn't have any trouble if we don't get stuck in the traffic jam . +Hope we have good luck . +Here we are , you still get plenty of time . That's 8.15 $ , please . +Thank you very much . Here's 10 $ , keep the change , please . +Hello and welcome . How may I be of service ? +Hello . I want to buy some RIB , is it OK to use US dollars ? +Yes , of course . What's the amount you'd like to change ? +I think 250 dollars should be sufficient . +Please fill out this exchange form and I'll need to see your passport . Don't forget to sign your name at the bottom . +Oh , right , of course . Here you go . +Here is your RIB , the exchange form and receipt and your passport . Please check the amount . +It's correct . Is there any way I can change it back before I leave the country ? +Yes , that can be done here . Just make sure you keep the exchange form and the receipt and you can come back at the end of your stay and we'll be only to happy to change it back into foreign currency . +That's wonderful news , thanks for all your help . +Excuse me . +Yes ? +Do you have any information about the city sights ? +Sure . There ’ s a lot here in this pamphlet . +Thank you . And what ’ s the best way to get downtown ? +Take the subway . It ’ s $ 1.50 per ride .

You really should go in . +No , I don't want to . +Really . The special effects are fantastic.You shouldn't be scared . You would really enjoy it . +Sam , I never like Haunted Houses.When I was a kid , I didn't like them . when I was in high school , I didn't like them.when I was in college , I didn't like them . So why should I like them now ? +But this is maybe one of the best Haunted Houses in North America ! It's different . +Why don't we go to the Epcot Center instead ? They have displays from many cultures around the world . +I saw that in the guide.It looks like they have different restaurants and different kinds of architecture.Do you want to go ? +Yes . That is something I will enjoy . +Alright , let's go then . How many tickets do we have left ? +We still have most of the tickets we bought.We can go on a lot of different rides if you like . +I was only interested in the Haunted House and the roller coaster rides.The other rides are for kids . +Let's start walking to the Epcot Center then.According to this map , it is up this pathway here . +Alright , let's go . +I am past my stop . Would you please let me get off ? +I am sorry . It's not allowed . You have to wait till the next station . +Well , that's OK . +Can you please slow down ? I am not in a hurry . +OK . +Where is Pamela ? +Is she coming ? +She told me she'd be here . +They are announcing your flight . You'd better board the plane . +Are you rushing me ? +I am just reminding you about the time . You don't want to miss the plane , do you ? +I know what I am doing . Don't worry . Can you do me a favor ? +Name it and I'll do it for you . +Take care of Pamela when I am away . She is a nice girl . I don't want her to get hurt or anything . +I've got it . +Thank you . Now I see that you are my true friend . Most of my so-called friends left me at the moment my company went bankrupt . You are the only one who has stood by me the whole time . +I am just doing what I think I should do . +Thank you for being a friend of mine . +This isn't like you ... Well , I hope you will have a nice flight and a successful start in business +Thank you . I have to leave now . If you see Pamela , tell her I'll write to her . +Excuse me , is this the Guyon Travel Agency ? +Yes , sir . What can I do for you ? +I want to travel to the ancient town in the south of China . Would you please tell me something about it ? +Sure . There's network of canals . And there are white walls , black tiles , small bridges , flowing rivers , flagstones roads , blue sky and white clouds . Few places have preserved the past like this place . Walking on the ancient road makes us back to our sense . +Wonderful . That's just what I expect , where is my first place if I go there ? +Zhouzhuang . +How long does the tour take ? +It's about two days . +what's the cost ? +It's about 300 yuan . +I know . Thank you very much . +That's all right . May you have a good trip ! +Thank you . +My pleasure . +Are there pets allowed in this apartment ? +No dogs or cats or any other fur type animal , but other pets are allowed . +What about a boa constrictor ? +Well . . . is that a pet ? Isn't that something from the zoo ? +If I had one , could I rent this apartment ? +I was more thinking of nice little fish or frogs or turtles or a pet rock . +What about a Gila monster ? +I'll tell you what , if your pet can fit in this little box and doesn't have fur , it is welcome here . +John , could you come to my office ? I need to talk to you . +Sure . I'll be there as soon as I finish this document . +No.Come here right now . +OK . +What's the matter ? +I'm sorry to say that we have to let you go , John . +Why ? I work very hard . +Well , you're working very hard but not efficiently.And you don't work well with other employees . +Well , some of those other guys are not the same kind I'd like to communicate with , but if that's important to you . I'll try to get along with them . +I'm afraid it's too late . We are downsizing our workforce and you'll have to go . +It's unfair . +We can give you the option of residing rather than being fired , because it will look better on your resume when you apply for another job if you resign . +OK . I need to think about that for a while . +All right , but let me know your decision before the end of the day . +Excuse me , ma ’ am ? +Yes . What can I do for you ? +I ’ m new here and I can ’ t seem to find the lunch room . +Oh , it ’ s right downstairs . I ’ m going there myself .

Sorry , the flight from London has been delayed . It departed two hours later than scheduled.The whether in London was really bad . +You mean it will arrive two hours later than usual ? +So far we could only deduce this way.If you want further information , would you please call us 1 hour later ? +OK , thank you . +Where are we going to visit today ? +We are going to the national park . +Really ? I have heard there are many famous national park in the US , which one exactly ? +The Yellow Rock National Park . +That's wonderful . I will see the Old Faithful for myself . +Man , they take a lot of our paycheck . +Yeah , the government really takes a bite , doesn ’ t it ? +Seriously .

We ’ ll both end up rich slobs and not need it , but what if we do , you know ? +Yeah . It won ’ t be much , but at least we ’ ll have a monthly check when we get old . +Yeah . My grandmother gets by on social security and the money my grandfather invested when he was alive . +Let ’ s just hope the politicians don ’ t figure out a way to spend it . +Really ? No , they couldn ’ t . None of them would have jobs if they did . +My brother gave me a baby cat yesterday . I can keep it as my pet . +I don ’ t understand .

They sent it in response to your phone call last week . +If they wanted to say something about my call last week , why didn ’ t they sand it to me ? +I guess they must not have your contact information , so they sent it addressed in care of your department head . Anyhow , they wrote to confirm in writing what you discussed about the Milton contract . +Can I see it for a second ? +Sure , here it is ... +Dear Mr . Clark , Further to our telephone call last Friday , I am writing to confirm our meeting on july 21 . As we discusses , our meeting is to review the contract details . +Did they ask you to send the files beforehand ? +Let ’ s see , ” we would e grateful if you could please send related materials to our office prior to our meeting . ” It looks like ... hey , was there anything else sent along with this letter ? +I don't think so , why do you ask ? +The letter reads , “ please find enclosed a copy of our agenda for your review . ” I don ’ t see anything else in the envelope ... +Maybe they forgot to attach it to the letter . You should give them another call . +I'm looking for a pan I can use in my kitchen . +What size pan were you thinking of ? +I've already got a small pan . I need a big one . +Well , this one might work for you . +Oh , no , that's way too heavy a pan for me . +Here , lift this aluminum pan . It's the same size . +Yes , it's very lightweight . But I don't want this aluminum handle . +Here's a similar aluminum pan . But it has a heat-resistant handle . +Oh , this feels very nice . It's perfect . I'll take it . +I knew we'd find the right pan sooner or later . How would you like to pay ? +Cash . But first , I need a lid for this pan . +Oh , no problem . Here's the lid that comes with the pan . +Is that boy standing there your brother ? +No.My brother is playing football there . +He's really a good player . +Thank you for your compliments . +I am thinking about resigning from my current job . +Have you thought about it seriously ? +Yes , I have been thinking about it for quite a while . Now I finally make up my mind to leave . I have given my resignation letter to our boss last Friday . +Ok , did you find a new company ? +Yes , I will move on to XYZ Company . +Good for you , but your leaving will be a great loss to us . It is so nice to work with you . +Thanks . I had learned so much from you and our colleagues . +Who finances the magazine ? +I don't know exactly . I only hear it's financed by a famous film star . +Does it have a large circulation ? +Yes , so it really doesn't matter who offers the money.The paper itself is profitable . +Paul , can I set up a time with you to go over the training manual ? +Sure . Let me just grab my calendar . All right . I ’ m free all day Tuesday and Thursday morning . +Tuesday morning is good for me . How about 10:30 in my office ? +Okay . Sounds good . See you then . +Look , all you do is press that button and it ’ s ready to use . +Then what about the wire ? +Just make sure you never touch the wire . +So I know . Thanks . +May I take your order ? +I'd like to see the menu , please . +Oh , I'm so sorry . I thought you had one . Here you are . +Don't you have any Chinese food ? +I'm afraid we don't . But I'm sure you'll enjoy our lunch special . +Did you see who the suspect was ? +I got a perfect look at the suspect . +Would you be able to pick him out of a line-up ? +That'll be easy . +Please take a careful look at these five men . +Okay . +Is the suspect in this line ? +I see him . +Which number is he ? +The suspect is number four . +Your cooperation is very much appreciated . +I'm happy to be of assistance . +And how would you describe yourself , Miss Tao ? What kind of person are you ? +Well , as I mentioned before , I think I am easy-going . I enjoy working and talking with people and I'm a responsible person . +Did you have any difficulty getting along with fellow students or teachers ? +No . Not at all . I'm quite easy-going . +What's your strong points ? +Oh , I'm very responsible , I can make fast decisions , and I do not need much supervision . I enjoy completing challenging tasks . +What do you dislike most about your job ? +Probably routine , dull work . Oh , I am much more enthusiastic if I'm given a challenge and responsibility . +What kind of relationship do you think should exist between a supervisor and employee ? +A friendly one . I think an open , friendly , honest relationship should exist . An employee should feel she ( he ) can go to her ( his ) boss anytime with any kind of question . +Sometimes working with a foreign company can be stressful . Foreigners tend to get excited or angry easily , and they show it . Are you sure you can handle this stress ? How do you deal with conflict in your present job ? +Well , there's a lot of stress in a Chinese company also , although much of it is below the surface . I have confidence in my ability to handle conflict . If I have a problem with a co-worker , I do everything I can to work it out directly with that person . If I am unable to work it out , then I ask a supervisor to help out . If my boss shouts at me , I try not to take it personally . I try my best to understand the stress he is under . It's kind of like being in a family . Often family members say things in the heat of the moment , but don't mean what they say . A company is like a family , it has good times and bad times . +How do you feel about overtime work ? +That's no problem . I know that every company has busy periods . When this happens , I'm ready to put in as much time as necessary to get the job done . +What is most important to you in a job ? +I want to feel that I am making a real contribution to the company , so I would like my boss to trust me with important work . +Do you think that you are introverted or extroverted ? +I'm quite outspoken . I enjoy calling a spade a spade and hate talking in a roundabout way . So I'd call myself outgoing . +Under what kind of circumstance will you lose your temper ? +Seldom . But I hate someone's frequently being late or lazy . +OK . What are your strong points ? +Hmm . as I mentioned , I can work well under pressure and I enjoy work that challenges me . I think that my English ability is also a strong point . +And your weaknesses ? +I think I sometimes try to be over-organized . So I am learning how to let some things go and concentrate on the most important part of my job . +Mom , can we get cable TV or a satellite dish ? +It costs money , dear . What ’ s wrong with the regular television stations ? +The shows are dull and they ’ re too many advertisements . +Well , you already watch too much TV instead of doing your homework , anyway . +There ’ re educational stations too . I could learn while I watched TV . +Well , that ’ s true , but you ’ d probably only watch cartoons and action movies . +No I wouldn ’ t ... can ’ t we get cable ? Everybody has cable . +Well , if everybody jumped off a bridge , would you jump too ? +Mom ! ! ! Please . All my friends have had it for years . +Get new friends . +Why are you always so mean ? +Because you ’ d end up spoiled rotten if I wasn ’ t . +I could help pay for it . +Let ’ s see how your grades are this semester , and maybe I ’ ll talk to your father about it . +O . K . Thanks , Mom ! +Hi , good to see you . What can we assist you with today ? Going away on business again ? +Yes , I'm off again at the beginning of next week . I need to get some Traveller's Cheques . +We do always recommend people take Traveller's Cheques when travelling overseas . The world is a dangerous place nowadays , you never know . +Sure . At least if I do get robbed , heaven forbid , I can get my money back using the traveller's cheques insurance . Once , when I was travelling in France , I was pick-pocketed and not only did you replace my Traveller's Cheques for free , you also did it extremely quickly and easily . +My god , it's such a lovely lake ! The lake has a water surface of 56 square kilometers . +No wonder it looks so huge . +We are now walking on what is in fact an island . Here we get one of the 10 sceneries of the West Lake , Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake . +Why is it called Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake ? +It's so named because in the pavilion over there the great poet Bai Buyi of the Tang Dynasty would take a rest after drinking a little too much , and watch the moon over the lake . +Very romantic . +Now let's board the boat and have a ride on the lake . +Sure ( They get on the boat ) . +Wang , what's that building over there ? It looks like some sort of a huge pavilion . +You are right . That's the Heart of Lake Pavilion , situated on an islet.It was built in 1552 and is the largest pavilion on the West Lake . Oh , here we are at the Little Yingzhou island . Let's get off the boat . Please watch your steps . +Can I have this roll of film developed here ? +Sure . Let's see it . +Here you are . +What size of prints would you like to have ? +Regular will be fine . How long will it take ? +Only four hours . +Good . I'll come back in the evening . +Excuse me , sir . I wonder if I could exchange the shoes for a larger one . +No problem . May I see your receipt , please ? +Here you are . +That's right .

Can you help me ? +Sure , I'll certainly help you do it . +That's OK , Ben , just let it go . I thought you were just a little too much into it . +I wasn't kidding before , OK , I'm fine now . +Honey , have you ever heard that there are a lot of stray cats now . +Yes . +Now they are collected by some volunteers , and people can adopt them or make a donation for the shelters . +What are you saying ? You are acting weird today . +I want to adopt a cat , and it can be Barbie's boyfriend too . +Haha , very funny , but it doesn't make any sense to me . +That's all right . At least I got myself left . +Seriously , if we will adopt any animals , we'd gotta to talk to Daniel . +I hope that he would grant me with that . +Hope so . +This is frank speaking , may i ask who is calling ? +This is Jane , I'd like to speak to Mr.Wang , please . +I'm sorry , he is not here at the moment . He has gone to the International Business Center . +When do you expect him back ? +I'm not sure , he didn't say when he wound return . If you'd like.you can leave him a message until he is back to you until the moment it's free . +Yes , thank you . When he gets back , please just let him know that jane called . And i need him to call me back . +Does he have your number ? +Yes , he does . But i give it to you again . 5264453 6 +That was 5264453 6 , right ? +Yes , thank you very much . +You are welcome . +Good coming . +Good coming . Are you through with the cleaning ? If not , we'll come back a little later . +Never mind , come right in . I've almost finished . You always keep the room neat and tidy , I must say . It saves me a lot of work , but you should let me do it . +It doesn't take much time . I ' m used to tidying up my room myself . +It's very considerate of you to do so . Do you have any laundry today ? +I have a suit that needs cleaning . +Let me have it , please . I'm taking some laundry downstairs anyway . +Hello . Can I talk to David ? +One second , please . ( a few seconds later , the receiver comes back and says ) Hello ? +Yes . +I ’ m sorry . David is out to lunch right now . +Okay . I ’ m his wife . Could you tell him to call me back when he returns ? +Sure . Does he know where to call you ? +Oh , thanks . Please tell him to call my cell-phone number . +Ok , I will . +Thank you very much . +No problem . +I can't decide whether to go to university or to get a job . +Well , if I were you , I'd go on studying . +But I don't even know what to study . +If I had chance again , I'd major in English . You're good at language . +That's what my parents want me to do . +You should take their advice . They know what's best for you . +But my friends will have jobs and lots of fun , while I spend all my time doing reading and writing . +But if you go to university , you'll still have time for fun . +Hum , what you say make sense . But you know , I still have to ask my parents for pocket money , and I hate to do so at this age . +And if you try to find a part-time job , you'll have some money too . +You're right . Thank you for the advice . +David , I am going for an interview tomorrow . It's an American company . Can you give me an idea of what the interviewer will ask ? +Well . They may ask you to tell them more about your educational background and your working background . +But they can see my resume . It's all in there . +I know , but sometimes interviewers just want to hear you say it . Then you may be asked for your viewpoint on why you feel you are qualified for the job , give them all your qualifications and how you think they will fit the position you are applying for . Questions like what sort of experience do you have and what are your goals ? are closely related to this . +Ok . What else ? +They may want to know how the company will benefit and why they should hire you ? +I see . What about the salary ? +Hm , they may ask you what kind of salary you have in mind , or simply tell you what the company is offering . I think the latter is more likely for a starting position , especially if you have little experience . And if they are seriously considering hiring you , they will probably want to know when you would be available to start work . And basically , that's about it . +Ok , thanks , David . You ’ Ve helped me a lot . +Anytime . Let me know how it works out . +Do you enjoy going on dates ? +Yes . I find dates to be a lot of fun . +What's so fun about them ? +They give me the opportunity to get to know someone better . +So you always have fun on dates ? +Not always . I don't always like the person I'm on the date with . +Why not ? +My date may not be my type . +So then why would you ask them out in the first place ? +I didn't realize until after our date that they weren't my type . +Sounds like a huge waste of time to me . +Now that I think about it , it really is sometimes . +Hello , I would like to buy some business cards . +Excellent . How many would you like ? +Two thousand would be fine . +You need to fill out this form , please . +All I want is the same thing on this card . +That will be no problem , sir . +OK , I'm finished . Here's your form and my old card . +Very good , sir . Your order will be ready in one week . +Do you think you could finish it in three days ? +No problem , sir . But it will cost you extra . +Excuse me . +Yeah ? +I've never used this place before.Can you give me some idea what I need to do ? +You just put quarters in the machines.It ' s easy . +Yes , but ... well ... +What ? +How do I use the machines ? +What do you mean ? These are the washing machines . Those big things over there are the dryers . +I see . Do the machines have soap in them ? +No , of course not . You have to put soap in . Did you bring your soap ? +No . I don't have soap . +Well , you can buy some from that vending machine over there . +Thanks.Okay . I have my soap . +My God ! You really bought a lot . Why do you need so much ? +I don't know . I want my clothes to be clean . +But you can't use so much.The machine won't be able to rinse the soap out . +Oh . I guess I didn't know . I have never washed clothes before . +What ? Did you say you never washed clothes before ? +Yes . +In your life ? Are you kidding ? Never ? +No . Never . +I can't believe it . How can that be ? How old are you ? +I'm nineteen . +But how can you live nineteen years without ever washing clothes ? +My mother always did it . +Yes , my mother washed my clothes too.But when I was twelve , I started to wash clothes myself . +I know about this fact.American children are more independent . They do more for themselves.But I am from Taiwan . In Taiwan , children must study very hard.So the mother does everything for the kids.The mother wants her kids to get very good grades at school.So I've never washed clothes before . You shouldn't laugh at me for it . +I'm not laughing at you . But let me ask you something ? +What ? +How are you going to survive here ? I mean , if you can't do anything for yourself.If you can't cook , if you can't wash clothes , if you can't clean house.How can you live on your own ? +I don't know . It's hard . But I have to learn . +Well , I'll help you learn how to use these machines . +Thanks . My name's Nick . +I'm Alice . I guess I'll have to be your mother for today . +Thanks , Mom . Thanks . +I passed all the tests , Mom . +Well done ! +Here is my ticket and seat assignment . +Thank you . That way , PLS . +May I have a pillow and blanket , PLS ? +An attendant will pass them around after we take off . +May I have headphones for the in-flight movie ? +No problem . Here are your headphones . Do you want something to drink ? +Thanks , a coke , PLS . +May I come in ? +Come in , please . +I'm sorry to trouble you , but I'd like to ask when I will get a raise . +In 3 months or so . +You said the same thing three months ago . +Did I ? Well , anyway , you will get your raise when the economy starts picking up . +You mean that I won't get a raise until the recession ends ? +Yes . +I got the message . I'm quiting . +Nah , don't be so fast . We like your work here , but this company is on hard times.and I can't be handing out raises for anyone . +I've been here for 3 years , and I haven't had a raise in all that time.If you like my work , it should be reflected in my pay , and I feel it isn't . +I hear what you're saying , and I wish there were something I could do . +Very well , consider me gone . +Hello . I'd like to get a seat to New York City on a flight leaving sometime before this Friday . +I'm afraid Thera isn't any direct light before Friday . What about a non-direct one ? You have to make a change in Detroit . +Well , in that case , that's fine . I want a first class ticket on Thursday . +Would you like to pay in cash or by card ? +Cash , please . +How are you doing ? +Everything ’ s fine with me . +What can I do for you today ? +Is it possible for me to view the apartment today ? +Unfortunately , you will not be able to view it today . +Why can ’ t I view it today ? +You ’ ll need to make an appointment to view the apartment . +I understand . May I make an appointment then ? +How does this Friday sound ? +Friday at 6 pm . would be perfect . +That will be fine . +Thanks for your help . +Hi , is you , John ? +Oh , Jane . What on earth have you been ? I've called you a thousand times . +Sorry , John . I suddenly got a severe stomachache last night , and stayed in hospital the whole day . +But I called your cell phone , and there was no answer . +I know , I left it at home . +Do you feel better now ? +It's OK now . Don't worry , John . +I need to purchase some business cards . +No problem . How many are you thinking about ? +I think 2,000 would be fine . +If you'll just fill out this form , please . +I want the new cards to be exactly like this card . +We can do that very easily . +... Okay , I'm done . Here's the form and my old card . +Great . Your order will take only one week . +You know , I think it would be better if I could pick it up in three days . +We can do that . It'll just cost you extra . +Jim . I heard you got a promotion ! +Yeah , I ’ m going to be running the Walker Avenue Branch . +Congratulations , guy . +Thanks . I appreciate it . +Good morning .

Thank you very much . +You ’ re welcome . +We will have a vacation next month . Why not have a tour ? +Good idea . Where shall we go ? +What about going to Xi'an ? +Don't you think it is too far ? +So what's your plan ? +What about going to Beijing ? +So we'll compromise . We'll hit the Huangshan in Anti . +OK ! +Would you like some cake ? I made it myself . +Absolutely . Mm , this is really good . +Thanks . Would you like to have one more slice ? +I'd love to . +Hi , United Airlines ? This is Elizabeth parks calling . I have a reservation on the 2:30 p . m . flight to Shanghai this afternoon . +Yes , Miss Parks ? How may I help you ? +Well , I ’ d like to reschedule my flight for the tomorrow morning one at 9:05 . Is that possible ? +I ’ m very sorry , Miss Parks , but the 9:05 flight is completely booked . I can put you on a waiting list if you would like . +Hello , Sir , may I help you ? +Yes . I would like some information for requesting a loan . +Very well , here are the general terms of our loan policies . We pride ourselves in having the lowest interest rate in the country for personal loans . +I see . So let me get this straight . If I borrow let ’ s say , ten thousand dollars , how much will I have to pay each month ? +It depends on how long you take to pay it back . If we lend you ten thousand dollars at an annual interest rate of ten percent for forty eight months , you would have to pay each month a portion of the loan which is called the principal and another small portion of the annual interest rate . This of course is considering that you don ’ t default on a payment ! +It sounds good but , there is just one problem . I have a terrible credit score . +That is a very serious problem you see , the bank must assess your personal information , past loans , assets and any other relevant information such as your credit score in order to approve your loan . +You know what ? I don ’ t really need the money . Thanks anyways ! +Excuse me , could you tell me how to get to the school clinic ? I've lost my way . +Yes . Go straight ahead till you come to the traffic lights , turn left there and it's the first turning on the right . +Straight ahead to the traffic lights , left and then right . +That's it . It'll take you about five minutes . +Thank you very much . +Good morning , sir . Can I help you ? +Good morning . I have a reservation for a single room with a bath here . +May I have your name , please ? +John Bradley . +Just a moment , sir , while I look through our list . Yes , we do have a reservation for you , Mr . Bradley . Would you please fill out this form while I prepare your key card for you ? +Yes , can I borrow your pen for a minute please ? +Sure . Here you are . +What should I fill in under the room number ? +You can just skip that . I will put in the room number for you later on . +Here you are . I think I have filled out everything correctly . +Let me see , name , address , nationality , forwarding address , passport number , place of issue , signature and date of departure . Oh , here sir . You forgot to put that date of your departure . Here let me fill it in for you . Are you leaving in ... ? +Oct 24th . +Now everything is in order . Mr . Bradley , your room number is 6020 . It is on the sixth floor and the daily rate is 90 dollars per night . Here is your key card with all the information on your booking , the hotel services and the hotel rules and regulations on it . Please make sure that you have it with you all the time . You need to show it when you sign in for your meals and drinks in the restaurants and the bars . You also need to show it when you collect your key from the information desk . +Ok , I will take good care of it . +And now if you are ready Mr.Bradley , I will call the bellboy and he will take you to your room . +Yes , I am ready . Thank you . +I hope you enjoy your stay with us . +I will try . +What exactly is the problem with the latest lot ? +We are faced with the problem that part of the consignment is unacceptable . We assume that damage occurred during the consignment was in your care . +But we can't accept your damage claim . +Why not ? +You didn't note the damage on the bill of lading . +Would you ring these up for me here ? +I would be happy to . Did you find everything you needed ? +Yes , I did , thanks . +The total is 200 dollars . Would you like to put that on Sears card ? +No , I'll pay for it in cash . +What problems will exporters face in moving to the foreign market ? +An exporter needs to know the social characteristics of people he is dealing with . +Like what ? +What do they like or dislike . What languages do they speak , what religions do they follow . +Reasonable . +Especially he needs to know their behavior , their habits , their way of life and the things they are used to . +Sometimes people in different countries , or even in different parts of the same country have varying outlooks because of the tribe and culture . +You know who won the election , right ? +I ’ m still shocked that Obama was elected . +I couldn ’ t believe it , either . +He just made history . +I hope you voted for him . +Of course I did . Did you ? +I made sure to vote for him . +I am really excited about this . +I know how you feel . +Hopefully , he ’ ll change things in our nation . +I know that he will . +I trust him . +Would you find any other available flight to Tokyo ? +Sure . We try our best . +Thank you . +Mr.Chen , are you sure you're taking BA - 007 back to Tokyo ? +Yes , of course . I think our travel agent would have made the reservation for us . +I'm afraid this flight is all booked up . +Are you sure ? We can't really take it ? I reconfirmed with Miss Peterson the other day . +I'm afraid so except we have many no-show passengers . +Mrcrabby , I ’ m pleased to see you . +I ’ Ve looked over your resume , ms.Jane .

Would you like a window seat ? +If one's available , please . But not over the wing . +I'm really happy that you came to visit me . +I really missed you a lot . +I've been missing you like crazy . +I don't understand why you haven't come to visit me . +Lately , I've been quite busy . +Tell me what you've been up to . +I've really been working a lot lately . +I've been pretty busy myself . +So what have you been up to ? +I've just been working a lot . +Whatever the reason may be , I'm glad you visited me . +I'm glad I did too . +How ’ s it going ? +I ’ m fine , thank you . +Did you need help with something ? +If I could , I would like to view the apartment sometime today . +That won ’ t be possible today . +Why is that ? +You can only view the apartment with an appointment . +I would like to make one right now if I can . +Are you available this Friday ? +Can we do it at 6 o ’ clock ? +Your appointment for Friday at 6 pm has been confirmed . +All right . I ’ ll see you on Friday . +Hi , Jim ! When did you get back ? +Yesterday . I was really sorry to see it end . The skiing was terrific ! +I ’ m really jealous !

But I would definitely recommend this place ! +hi , Betty.what ' s up ? +nothing special . how about you ? Are you used to the life here in the States ? +everything has been fine for the past several months . +great ! +well , I wish someone could talk to me about Western table manners +sounds interesting . Where did you get the idea ? +as you know , table manners in China are quite different from those of Westerners . +absolutely . that's because both of us have distinctive cultural features . +for example , in China , it's okay to talk while eating . However , you may regard it as rude . +yes . this must be a huge difference . +can you think of anything else ? +sure . We tend to think that the slower on eats , the more polite one seems . +I didn't know that before . +and we never sip or slurp the soup loudly . we quietly like little mouthfuls . +i got it . i'll bear it in mind . +don't worry . i'm sure our etiquette will become a natural part of your behavior as time goes by . +I hope so . +You just ran a red light . +Did I ? +If you are staying here for a few days , we ’ d be delighted to see you at our factory . +It ’ s very kind of you to say so . My associate and I will be interested in visiting your factory . +Let us know when you are free . We ’ ll arrange the tour for you . +Thank you . I ’ ll give you a call this afternoon to set the time . There ’ s nothing like seeing things with one ’ s own eyes . +That ’ s for sure . You ’ ll know our products better after the visit . +I'd like to order room service to room 927 , please . +How can I help you ? +I'd like to two roast beef sandwiches and one fruit salad , please . +Will that be all , sir ? +No , could I also get some extra towels and soap too ? We went to the pool today and used up our two clean towels . +I'll have someone bring that up right away . How would you like to pay for the dinner ? +Just put it on with the rest of my hotel bill . +All right , sir . You should receive your dinner in about ten minutes . +So the apartment comes unfurnished ? +This one is . I have another one that's furnished , but I'm not sure you'll like the furniture . +We have tons of furniture . What we need are air conditioners . +This building is only four years old . It was built with central air . +Just like in the States ! That's perfect ! +And I recently bought an American-style washer and dryer . Come and see . +How was school today ? +It was great .

We will take part in the group . +I think you will enjoy your journey . +Can I trouble you for some change ? +I'll see what I have got . What's it for ? +I need some cigarettes . +I can let you have some silvers if that is good . +OK , thanks . +Welcome to the company . We are conducting a survey of new employees to find out what influenced them to choose our company . +Honestly , the flexible hours were the main attraction for me . The traditional working day doesn't fit in with me lifestyle ; I love being able to tailor my working hours . +Yes , flextime has definitely been a good change for us . How do you feel about the pay ? +At first it is going to be difficult . During the first three months , I'm on probation . So I won't get sales commissions until after that . +But there is a big bonus for employees at the end of the probation period . +Yes , I'm looking forward to that !

It's the third office down this hall . Are you looking for Bob ? +Yes . He told me to come by this morning . +I'm sorry , but he's not in the office now .

He didn't give me a time.He said I could come any time before noon . +I see . He's usually here on Tuesday mornings ... +Today is Tuesday . +I know . He's usually here , but today he went out to a site on the east side . +That's too bad . I need to discuss these plans with him . +Why don't you make an appointment for later in the week ? +Alright . +He's here on Tuesdays , Wednesdays and Fridays .

Now I see that after graduating from University your first job was ... +For a local paper in York called the York Herald . Actually , I started with them as an intern in the beginning . I was really keen on getting some experience in the journalistic world , and this seemed like a good first step . +Certainly . And after your internship ? +They seemed impressed , and offered me a position as a junior local news reporter . I ended up staying two years there actually . I was in charge of the sports news section of the newspaper . I really enjoyed it there , and it really helped me build my skills . +Yes I see . But you decided to leave them in 2006 , right ? +Yes , that ’ s right . My husband and I moved to London , and so I managed to find a position with a National newspaper based in London . +The London Weekly right ? +Yes , in some ways it was a step down from my previous job but it did offer me much better prospects for the future . +morning , Mr . Winthrop . This is Sally Parker , Mr . Emory ’ s secretary . Mr . Emory has asked me to set up a meeting with you . +Certainly , Miss Parker , Let me get my book . My secretary ’ s out and I can ’ t keep anything straight ! +I understand . Would you like me to call you back ? +No – That ’ s all right . How about the 30th at 4:00 p . m . ? – Is an hour enough ? +Can I ask for leave this afternoon ? +What is the problem ? +I had a headache this morning . I didn ’ t pay attention to it . I thought probably it is because I didn ’ t sleep well . But now it is getting worse and worse . I feel quite dizzy now and my eyes are somehow very light-sensitive . Maybe it is the migrated . +It is ok . You look really pale and red eyes . I suggest you go home immediately and have a good rest . +Thank you very much . I am sure good rest will do indeed . I don ’ t have this too often . +Michelle , Can you help me clean things up before we go ? +Sure . Where should I put this cup ? +Which cup ? +The red one . +Put it on the table . +How about this fruit ? +Oh , that goes in the refrigerator . +And those pencils ? What should I do with them ? +Bring those upstairs and put them in the bedroom . +How about this pen ? +Give it to me . I need to use it . +What do you want me to do with that paper over there ? +You can throw that away . I don't need it anymore . +The trash is full . +Alright , then please put it in a bag and take it outside . +OK . Now what ? +I think we're finished . Can you please turn off the lights and shut the door ? +Sure . +Good morning ! The Inland hotel . How may I help you ? +Good morning . I ’ d like to book a room for Friday night and Saturday night . +Certainly . What kind of room would you like ? +A single room please . I hope you ’ re not fully booked . +A single room ?

(= Of course . ) +What's the matter ? +Which subway should I take to get to the East Side ? +Oh , you have to take the shuttle to Grand Central . +Which train is that ? Which platform does it leave from ? +It's not on this platform.These trains are uptown and downtown , not crosstown.You have to go up these stairs over there . +I have to use the ATM . +Is there a problem ? +I don ’ t know how to use it . +What are you talking about ? +I have never used an ATM before . +I can show you how to use it . +How do I use it ? +You need to push your card into the machine . +What ’ s next ? +Enter your PIN . +What else do I have to do ? +Every option you can choose will appear on the screen . That ’ s about it . +Mr . Emory ? I think it ’ s time to get a new computer . +Why , Christine ? I think the one we have is fine . +For the amount of work we do on the computer these days , the one we ’ re using is just too weak . We really need a higher model . +Well , I ’ ll think about it . I don ’ t know whether accounting is going to agree to such a big purchase . +What do you think ? +It looks great . +I would like to purchase it . +Will this be cash or charge ? +Here , take my credit card . +Just sign here , please . +Sure . Here you go . +Here's your receipt . Have a nice day . +What are you doing , karen ? +I ’ m making a shopping-list , Tom . +What do we need ? +We need a lot of things this week .

I have been a guide for two years . +OK.Then I want to ask you some questions about the tourist guide.If there wasn accident , for example a tourist falls ill , what would you do ? +I think I will call the office to send someone to meet us , and escort that person to the nearest hospital without interrupting our trip . +If one of them forgot a camera in a restaurant , would you let the tourist bus go back ? +No . In fact , prior to their boarding the bus and their getting off the bus , I will make an announcement to remind them that they should check their belongings . +Well , it seems that you have all the practical experience to handle these cases . I am very glad to welcome you into our company . +Thank you . It's my honor . +Are you going to vote ? +I am so excited to be voting . +Do you know who you ’ re going to vote for ? +I am so impressed with the candidate I ’ m going to vote for . +What ’ s so great about him ? +I feel that he is very intelligent . +Oh , really ? +Yes , and I agree with all his policies . +That ’ s good to hear . +I think this man is going to be the next President . +I hope so . +I ’ m going to make sure and get my vote in . +Can you give me a hand ? +Of course . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes , I am looking for a skirt . What's in fashion now ? +This one is the latest . How do you like it ? +Well . Could I try it on ? +Sure . +( A moment later ) It's cute.The color suits my complexion . +I'd like to make an appointment with manager Mr.Wu . Would 10:00 a . m . tomorrow be all right ? +I'm afraid not . He has a meeting tomorrow morning . +Could I possibly make it early in the afternoon ? +No , that's not good either . But give me your phone number and I'll call you if somebody cancels . +Thank you very much . +Doctor , I slipped and fell on my way to school . The ground is so slippery from the snow . It seems I can't move my left arm now . +Let me see . Roll up your sleeve , please . Um ... it's swollen and red here . I'm afraid we'll need to take an X-ray to see if it's broken . +What if it's broken ? +Then we'll put you in a cast . +What do you mean by a cast ? +Well , we apply tape and plaster to from a solid enclosure to protect the bones from moving . In this way they will heal properly . Take it easy . It won't hurt you . Let me see . The X-ray picture indicates that your humerus is broken in two places . And you'll have to wear the cast for three weeks . You'll need to come back in two weeks , so I can have another look . +I ’ Ve just looked over your resume and I must admit I am quite impressed . +Thank you . I ’ Ve worked pretty hard to be able to list those accomplishments . +You ’ Ve got plenty of training and experience . I wonder if you could tell me something about your goals . Where do you see yourself ten years from now ? +To be honest , I don ’ t plan in that much detail . My goals tend to be general ; I define success according to the job at hand . I see myself advancing as I succeed , but I don ’ t necessarily dwell on +interesting ! And how do you feel about decision-making ? Are you an independent thinker , or do you depend more on your superior for direction ? +That depends a bit on the problem at hand . There are certain situations in which a manager can give a general directive , and expect his employees to know how to take the initiative on the detail +Sounds good . Everyone is taking about teams these days . Can you describe your role as a member of a sales team ? +I see myself as an encourager . Of course , sales can be quite competitive and sometimes people in this field have a secret desire for others to fail . In my last job , each representative handled +So , your experience is as impressive in practice as it is on paper . +What's holding us back on the plant expansion project ? We were supposed to see the specs on that ages ago.Why haven't I heard anything about it ? Did the whole project just vanish into thin air ? +No , sir . The plant expansion project has been delayed.There was a snag up in the fling process to get the necessary construction permits.It seems that the property we were slated to build on is also habitat for some endangered indigenous species . +You're joking , right ? No wonder we've been tied up with this project . I know the environmental impact statement will take forever to get approval if they've found anything endangered on the site . Are they positive there is evidence of endangered species actually living there ? +The environmental review board has a team on it now.Hopefully we'll know more by the end of the week . +Could I meet with you to discuss the project ? +Good idea . We could meet on Monday or Tuesday . Which day would you prefer ? +Tuesday would be good for me . +OK . Do you think we should meet in the morning or in the afternoon ? +I think the afternoon would be best . +That will work out . I will e-mail the exact time tomorrow . I need you to bring your plans with you . +Yes , I will bring my plans with me to the meeting . +Should we invite the whole committee or should we just have the sub-committee there ? +I feel that the whole committee needs to be there . +Yes , I agree . We'll make sure that they get notified . Can you find the meeting place ? +Yes , I know how to get there on my own . +Great ! We will send you all the details later . Looking forward to meeting with you ! +How many parking tickets have you gotten before ? +I've gotten a few parking tickets before . +How many ? +Only about five or six . +Have you paid off your parking tickets ? +Yes , I paid my fines . +How much do you have to pay for the ticket ? +If I remember correctly , it's about $ 130 . +That's a lot of money . +I got one the other day . +Well , you better make sure you pay it off . +I may just go to the DMV today , so I can pay the fine . +Good afternoon.Welcome to China.May I see your passport , customs and health declaration form ? +Yes , here you are . +Thank you.What ' s your occupation , Mr . Smith ? +I'm the general manager of the Far-East Industry Corporation . +You are here on business , aren't you ? +Yes , I have been invited by the East Import & Export Corporation of China for business talks . +I see.Do you have anything to declare ? +Yes , I have some foreign currency to declare . +Would you please fill out this currency declaration form ? It's a record of the foreign currency you have brough in . +All right . +Good evening . +Good evening . My wife and I would like a room , please . Is there any room available ? We don't have a reservation . +Let me see . Yes , we have one room left . You're lucky . It's the last one . +Good .

It's quite a comfortable room . +How much is it for one night ? We only need it for tonight . We're going to continue our trip in the morning . +It's forty-five dollars a night for two . Is anyone else traveling with you ? +No , it's just the two of us . +Would you like to pay for the room in cash or with a credit card ? +Credit card . We don't like to carry much cash with us on our trips . +Please fill out this registration card . Here is your key . You can park your car in front of our room.Check - out time is noon . +Thank you very much . +Thank you , sir . Enjoy your stay with us . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +I want a chemise . +You have really good taste . It's the best seller right now . +Could I try it on ? +Sure . +Well . It's not my taste . Would you please bring me a short sleeve ? +Hello , Is this room service ? +Yes , May I help you ? +This is the room 1425 , we asked for the room service an hour ago . +we are very sorry to cause you a lot of inconvenience . +What's the matter ? +We're rather busy right now . It will take another 15minutes +Is it really going to take that long , will you rush the order ? +I'm afraid it will take 15 minutes at most . +ha , well , we have no choice . +I want some envelopes please . +Do you want the large size , or the small size ? +The large size please . Do Have you any writing-paper ? +Yes , we do . I don't have any small pads . I only have large ones . Do you want a pad ? +Yes , please .

I lost my passport . +Do you remember when and where you last saw it ? +I remember I saw when I was dining in the Aidan Restaurant .

Please fill out this form . And you need to contact your embassy or consulate to report it as soon as possible . +Mr . Wilson . I'm very glad we reached the agreement at last . Now I'd like to propose a toast to the further development of our cooperation . +I'm very delighted too . I'm sure that we'll have a wider range of cooperation . So , let's drink to the signing of our contract . +Bottoms up ! +Cheers . +Let's go to the cinema by bus . +Better take the subway . It's far quicker and more convenient . +OK , it will be a new experience for me . +We have a rather comprehensive subway system here . You can get almost anywhere rather quickly on a subway , especially at this time of day when the traffic is heavy . +Where do we pay the fare ? +Just give the man sitting there three yuan and he'll give you a ticket . +Do I have to pay an additional fare to change trains ? +No , you don't have to . Here comes the train . Be careful ! Subway doors open and close automatically . +What can I do for you , sir ? +I'd like to choose one game for myself and one for my younger sister . +What kind of games do you like ? +Big games of course . +I see , but games are played in different ways . I'm wondering what type of games do you like to play ? +Type ? I don't know , what do you have ? +Basically , there are 7 types of games +Well , I am a beginner . I ... +Don't worry . Most male customers choose first person shooting , real time strategy , action or sports , while female customers prefer simulating , action or role playing . Shooting , action and sports games require flexible movements and real time strategy usually needs overall consideration . +I like first person shooting and action more than other types of games . +If so , counter Strike and Might & Magic are good alternatives . Counter Strike is one of the hottest shooting games and Might & Magic series are popular among girls because the game has attractive plot and interesting scenes . +Oh , thanks a lot . Then , I will take the two . +Do you want the latest editions ? If your computer runs fast , I think the latest editions are better because although old editions are cheaper , they are less exciting and attractive . +I will have the latest editions . +Have some more tea , George . +No , thanks .

Could I serve you anything else ? +Thank you . That's enough . +My pleasure . Just a little while , your order will be ready very soon .

Your room number , PLS ? +Room 1019 . +Room 1019 , tomorrow at seven thirty . Ok , we will give you a call in the morning . +Is Stanley still singing that Elvis song ? He's really hogging the mike ! +If I hear " Love Me Tender " one more time , I think I'm going to go crazy ! +He sounds like a sick cow ! +Can we adjust the pitch a little ?

Please take care not to make a mess while you are selecting goods . If you don't want it , please replace it . +Oh , I'm terribly sorry . but I couldn't find the yoghurt I saw here last time . +What's the brand ? +San Yuan . +Oh , it's out of stock at the moment . Why don't you choose another brand instead ? +I'm not used to other brands . +You can have a try . Maybe you will like it . +OK . I hope so . +Did your eye doctor prescribe you contact lenses ? +No , I ’ d like to know something about contact lenses . +Oh , I see . We have both hard and soft contact lenses . They are very popular , but a little more expensive than ordinary glasses . +I have found I ’ m short-sighted recently . I need to wear glasses . As a student , it ’ s better for me to wear ordinary glasses instead of contact lenses . +We have many kinds of glasses here .

I would like a room with a view of the whole city . +All right .

Could you hold it for me ? +Would you like to confirm the reservation ? +Good morning . I ’ d like to ask some questions about your insurance policies . +Of course . Please sit down . How can I help you ? +I bought a house recently and would like to insure it and its content . +I see . Here ’ s a pamphlet about our home insurance policy . We ’ Ve named our policy ” umbrella ” . May I ask how much you paid for your home and where you live ? These are the two main thing that decide how much your premiums are . +I understand . I live in the Oakfield area and paid $ 100,000 for my home . +Let me just check that on my computer . Oakfield is a low risk area , so your premiums will probably be around $ 100 a month . The other thing to take into account is deductibles . +In this pamphlet it says that the minimum amount for deductibles is $ 2000 . what does that mean exactly ? +It means That the first $ 2000 of any claim you make must be paid by you . The insurance policy covers any amount above that , up to the agreed limit . +Oh , I see . That ’ s fine . What is the advantage of having higher deductibles ? +If you have higher deductibles , your premium are lower , because you will pay more of the claim and we will pay less . +It seems that I should do some calculations before deciding . I presume that the insurance period can be for as long as we agree . +We initially sign one-year policies with our policyholders . These are renewable after the first year . +If I have a claim , how long does it take to make a settlement ? I ’ Ve heard that with some insurance companies , it can take months . +That is of great concern to out clients . We aim to satisfy all claims within a month , but we can ’ t guarantee that +Come on , Jenny , we are heading our way to the Opera House . +I am dead tired and I can't walk any further . +Oh , I am sorry , I thought you were not . +Why don't we stop and have a rest here ? +Fine . Actually I am a little tired too . Want some water ? +Hello ? This is Mike here . May I have a word with Grace ? +She ’ s not at her desk at the moment . Is there any message I can give her ? +Yes . Please tell her that tickets to Phantom of the Opera will be delivered in two days . My number is 6521684 0 , extension 236 . +Ok . I ’ ll let her know as soon as possible . +Thanks a lot . Bye . +Hey , John ! What do you think are the main causes of war today ? +It's hard to say ! But it seems that a lot of wars nowadays are civil wars . People from different ethnic groups in the same country sometimes fight for power in that country . +Yeah , several of those civil wars have been going on for years and years . It seems they will never end . +How do you think they could be ended ? +I don't think that there is any easy way . +I think one better way to stop it is to cut off their financial support . +Yeah , you are right ! +Excuse me . Do you know where I can find the nearest ICCC ? +Yes , but it's quite a ways . +Do I need to take a bus ? +This bus doesn't take you directly there . You'd have to change buses twice . I suggest you walk . It'll take you less than 20 minutes . +How do I get there on foot ? +Go straight ahead through the intersection . +Wait , let me write this down ... Alright , I'm ready . +Keep walking till you pass the square , then turn right . Walk past two lights and turn left at the third . +Square ... turn right ... traffic lights ... And then ? +Keep walking and look for a tall building . +Tall building ... Which side is the building on ? +The right side . ICCC should be on the first floor . +Thank you very much . +You're welcome . +Mary , why are you so tired ? +I go to the personnel market every day , and put a lot of energy into it . +Why don't you think about applying for a job on the Internet ? +On the Internet ? I have never tried that way . +Well , it's very convenient and very popular now . +So how to apply for a job on the Internet ? +Just get online and send your application through email to the employer . +But how can I know which employer is hiring ? +You could place your job hunting information on the Job Wanted channel on a recruitment website . +Will the employers see my information ? +Yes . If they think you are a fit , maybe they will contact you . +Is it safe to job hunt on the Internet ? +If you log in some formal websites , it must be very safe . +I will give it a try at once . +Stop burping . +I can't help it . +Welcome to IBA . What can we do for you ? +It's a bit of a problem situation , actually ... you see , our company has a Corporate Account with you , but unfortunately , we've been experiencing cash flow problems recently . +I'm sorry to hear that . We value all of our customers , regardless of circumstances . What can we do to help ? +We are going to need a loan . I'm not sure what loan is suitable for us , though . +If you think it will be very short-term , I would recommend you go with the 60 - day loan . Then it can be paid back quicker , so you won't have to consider it in the future . +That seems like a good idea , it's for wages , you see . +Acknowledgments play a necessary part in the interview . +Sure . Kind acknowledgments can show one's good attainment . +We often ignore the acknowledgments in our daily life , and consider them as disposable . +Actually , that's not true . Acknowledgments can help you leave a good impression on others , especially in the public places . +We should particularly pay attention to acknowledgments in the interview . +In the beginning of the interview , it is best that you make acknowledgments for the opportunity of the interview . +Don't forget to say " Thank you " when you take a seat . +Make acknowledgments as well when the interviewer thinks highly of your dressing , experience , or words . +You can win a good impression of the interviewer in this way . +Acknowledgments can also help the job-hunters to show their good attainment . +Finally , at the end of the interview , make acknowledgments to the interviewer again . +Smiles and kind attitudes are the basics of acknowledgments . +Sir , may I help you ? +Would you have my baggage sent up , please ? +Sure . It's my pleasure . The elevator is right there ; your room is on the fifth floor . Here is your room . +Thank you very much . This is for your help . +How can I get my driver's license ? +Have you taken your driving test yet ? +I have yet to take my driving test . +Okay , first I'm going to need you to fill out the paperwork . +When can I take my test ? +You'll have to make an appointment for that . +I would like to make one right now . +How does Friday sound ? +That would be great . +What time would you like to take the test ? +If I could do it in the morning , then that would be good . +Eleven o'clock on Friday morning . See you then . +Can I help you , madam ? +Yes , can I see a few T-shirts , Please ? +Certainly.Here you are.They ' re the very latest fashion . +I'm not very particular about the design.But I want something of good quality . +They're of good cotton and the color never fades . +What's the weather forecast for today ? +Cloudy in the morning , overcast in the afternoon . +Any rain ? +No , but I wouldn't be surprised if it rained tomorrow . +I wouldn't either . It's been looking like rain for several days . +When you smell them , they affect your nervous system . +I thought you were supposed to put them in some kind of burner with a candle ... +You can do that , too . Both methods have a healing effect . +So what's your illness ... shopping fever , sale-itis ? +Ha-ha ... I'm just fatigued . And tomorrow is a big day . +What's tomorrow ? +More sales ! +Mom , Happy mother's Day ! Here's my card . +What a surprise ! Thanks.It ' s beautiful . +Thank you for your love and care over the years , I appreciate it , mom . +This is the best card I ever received . +Mom , what can I do for you today ? +Nothing , son . I'm already very happy . +How about dinner tonight ? My treat . +Actually . I prefer we eat at home.We ' ll have more time to catch up that way . +I'm sorry I haven't dropped in that much these past few years.Business kept me too busy , I apologize . +Oh , don't mention it . I'm proud of you ! +Thank you , mom . I love you so much ! +Next , please . May I help you , sir ? +Hello , yes , I ’ d like to open a bank account . +Certainly , I can can help you with that . What type of account would you like to open ? A chequing or a savings account ? +What features do they offer ? +Well , if you just take a look here , see , with our chequing account , you can have unlimited daily transactions for a small monthly fee , and our savings account has a higher interest rate , but you must carry a minimum balance of $ 10,000 dollars . +I see , well , I think I ’ m more interested in a chequing account . I like to have easy access to my money . +Alright , then , with this chequing account you ’ ll be issued a debit card and a cheque book . Will you require overdraft protection ? There is an extra fee for that . +No , that won ’ t be necessary . +In that case , I ’ ll get you to fill out this paperwork . I ’ ll need your social insurance number , and two pieces of government ID . If you could just sign here , and here , and here we ’ ll be all set . Would you like to make a deposit today ? +Yes , I ’ d like to deposit one billion dollars . +Accounting , this is Mike . +Mike , this is Leo in Sales . I was just calling to confirm our meeting tomorrow.Are we still on ? +Goodness ! It ’ s been so long I actually forgot . Let me see ... yes , it is on my calendar . +OK . See you at your office at 2:30 . +Right , see you then ! +Help ! I'm about to drop these books . +I've got them . +Thanks ! +Let ’ s see if we can reach some sort of agreement over your curfew . +Ok , every one asks their parents let them stay out until 2 or 3 in the morning . +Well , I ’ m not everyone-else ’ s father . I think you need be in the house by ten o ’ clock . +That ’ s absurd . I know some junior high kids who can stay out later than that . +I ’ ll be worried if you stay out late . +Ok , how about midnight curfew . and I'll let you know where I am . +May I help you ? +My daughter . She is missing . I don ’ t know where she is . +What dose she look like ? +She has blond hair and blue eyes . +What was she wearing ? +She has a yellow dress on and red sneakers . +When did you last see her ? +I just saw her down the street . I don ’ t know where she is . I don ’ t know ... +How long has it been ? +Oh , it ’ s been uh ... fifteen minutes . +How do I know if I qualify for unemployment benefits ? +Are you working fewer hours than you used to work ? +I got laid off . +You usually qualify if you got laid off or are working a lot fewer hours . +Do all jobs provide unemployment ? +Most jobs provide unemployment , but some don ’ t . +Do you think that my job pays unemployment ? +You can call your unemployment office , and they can check for you . +Will I be able to collect a lot of money on unemployment ? +There is a formula to determine the amount based on how much you earned . They will let you know when you file your claim . +Darling , this dress is for you . I hope you like it . +Oh , very beautiful . Thank you , Steven , I like it very much . +Your birthday is coming , and I think this dress suits you . Why not try it now ? +My birthday present ? I can't help telling you that I am a happy woman , darling . I will come back soon . ( Go to her bedroom and wear the new dress , then show it to Steven . ) +It fits me exactly . How does it look like ? +It displays your slender figure , darling . +The most important thing is that you bought it for me . I am happy that you know my size and style . +Because you are my dear wife . +Where are you studying and what's your major ? +I am studying at Beijing University . I major in Civil Law . +Why did you choose Beijing University ? +Because Beijing University is the best university in China and I'm sure I am one of the best students . +What courses have you learned ? +I have learned many courses , such as Civil Law , Economic Law , Commercial Law and Administration Law . +Which one is your favorite ? Why ? +Civil Law . Because it is broad and profound , and furthermore , it best reflects the spirits of fairness and equality . +What was your minor subject ? +Psychology . +We are through . +Why ? +Why ? Isn't it obvious ? First you impose way too much on me , and I'm tired away . Second , you stood me up on the Valentine's Day . +I'm very sorry for that , but I sent you several messages to explain , my mom was seriously ill , and I had to look afer her . +But I ended up with finding out lady that night , that you were with other girl at cafe near your home . +That girl was my cousin . +You've got so many cousins . I called you later that night . But you didn't have the guts to answer the phone . +I didn't take my cellphone with me at that time . +I don't buy a story . +I know you don't hear me right know , please calm down . Anyway , I don't wanna part . I'll drop by tomorrow . +No , don't , I don't want to see you anymore . Don't ever call me again . +Welcome to IBA . What can we assist you with today ? +Hello . Yes , I've just read your leaflet about the new MoneyLink Card . I was wondering how I go about applying for one . +This scheme has just started and you will be one of our first 100 customers , so if your application is accepted , you will receive some rather nice perks . +That does sound good .

You can decide on my capacity and experience . +If we decide to hire you , we'd pay you two thousand and five hundred yuan a month at the start . You can have Saturdays and Sundays off . Besides , you may have a paid month holiday every year . How do you think about it ? +Thank you , Mr . Brown . I really appreciate your assistance . +What a terrible house ! +I'm sick of it , too . +The door bell doesn't work , the sink is leaking +There's no hot water , and the building is falling apart ! +It's no use complaining.If we had got enough money , we wouldn't put up with it ! +What's on Channel 12 at 8: 00 ? +If I remember correctly , there's a quiz show . +Do you want to watch it ? +Let's see what else is on first . +Would you like any toast , dear ? +Um ? +Toast , dear ? +As you like . +Would you like any tea , dear ? +It doesn ’ t make any difference to me . +Oh , you ’ re not listening to me . +Leave me alone . +My name is Helen Levin . I'm the HR director of our company . +Miss Levin . Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you , too . +How long do you plan on staying ? +I don't know ! Can I park my car now ? +We are open from nine to nine . So be sure to be back by then . +Fine ! I'll be back by nine then . Don't worry . +Alright . There's a spot open at the far end of the lot . Here's your parking stub . +Finally ! +Please drive slowly . +Have the owners come up with a counter-offer to my offer to buy their home yet ? +The owners have counter-offered three hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars . +Should I accept their offer ? +There are two ways to respond . You can either come back with another offer or go with their counter-offer . +What if I make another offer , and they don ’ t accept it ? +No one else has made an offer , so you could make another offer if you want to do so . +I think that I would like to offer three hundred and thirty thousand dollars as a counter-offer . +OK , I will present your counter-offer to the owners tonight . +How long before I find out what their decision is ? +By now , the owners probably have a pretty good idea of what they will accept . It will go quickly . +Room service.What can I do for you ? +I find the sheet in my room is so stained.Would you please help us change it for a clean one ? +I am sorry.sir . Someone will there in a moment . +All right . Please be quick about it . +Yes , sir . I assure you it would never happen again . +I've got a reservation here . My name is John Sandals . +Mr . Sandals , may I see your ID , please ? +One second , please , while I dig it out . Here . +Now , sir , do you have a credit card ? +Yes , I do . Do you accept American Express ? +I'm sorry , Mr . Sandals , but we accept only MasterCard or VISA . +That's okay , I've got plenty of cards . Here's my VISA . +Okay . You're in room 507 . It's a single queen-size bed , spacious , and nonsmoking . Is that suitable ? +Yes , that's just what I wanted . +Here's your key , sir . If you need anything , just dial 0 on your room phone . +Can you send someone to fix my internet ? +Are you having a problem with it ? +My internet is having problems connecting . +Can you tell me how long your internet has been messing up ? +I've been having this problem for the last few days . +Will the internet even pop up ? +It'll pop up , but it won't connect to a webpage . +Since the internet isn't broken , your connection must be messed up . +Do you think you can send somebody over to fix it ? +If you'd like , I can send someone to fix it right now . +How long will it be till they get here ? +It should be no longer than an hour . +What are we going to do ? I can't get the car out of this ditch . I'm stuck ! +I'm worried , Tom . I haven't seen any other cars for almost an hour . +I know . This is terrible . What can we do ? This snow doesn't stop falling ! +I told you we should have stayed in town today.The weather report said 100 percent chance of snow.Why did you want to come up here ? +I wanted to show you the cabin . We only had another half-hour to go . +Well , now we're stuck . What can we do ? +I don't know . +I've heard that when this happens , it's important to save energy . +What do you mean ? +We're stranded here , Tom . We may be here a long time.We need to conserve the gas in the car . The car's energy is what will keep us warm . +I have plenty of gas . +Yes , but the gas and the battery both have to stay working.We can't just let the car run and run.If we do , it will die soon . Then we'll freeze . +So what can we do ? +Turn the lights off.Then , run the car and the heater only about fifteen minutes every hour.That will conserve the heat as long as possible . +Alright . That's a good idea . +I wish we hadn't come up here . Now we'll probably be here for days . +Days ? +Yes , it happens.That is what happens in big snowstorms . People get stranded for days . +Oh , my God ! It's good we have food . +Probably we'll survive.But turn the car off for about forty-five minutes . Then we'll turn it on again . +Okay , I'll follow your advice . +I haven't seen this machine before . What's it used for ? +It's a really useful piece of equipment . It's for smoothing rough edges . Here let me show you how it works . It's very simple to operate . +Here we are on the train . +Yes , we are travelling at rush hours . It could be very crowded in the morning and after 6 o'clock in the afternoon . +I hear many people have cars . +Yes , almost all the families have their own cars . +Why don't they drive ? Isn't a car more convenient than the subway ? +Well , it is hard to find a parking place in the city . Besides , parking is quite expensive in the downtown . +I see . +Mark ? I need that file you took yesterday . +I ’ m sorry , Janet . I left it at home . I ’ ll bring it back in the morning . +Mark , I told you yesterday afternoon that I would be using that file today . +I know , Janet . I just walked out and forgot it completely . I ’ ll go home and get it at noon , all right ? +You don ’ t look so good . +I feel horrible . I think I picked up a bug . +Do you know who you got it from ? +A lot of people in my dorm are sick . Perhaps I picked it up there . +Did you take any cold medication ? +I ’ Ve been taking vitamin C and zinc and trying to get some rest . +I think that rest and liquids are what doctors recommend for a cold . +My grandmother swears by hot chicken soup for a cold . +A pharmacist might be able to help you if your home remedies don ’ t work . +Yes , if I get worse , I will definitely look for extra help with this . +Of course ! Of course ! Here you are . Thank you so much . +Are you looking for anything else ? +Um , let me see . Hmm . This antique tea set here is gorgeous . +That was a thirtieth birthday present . You can have it if you want . +Really ? No , no , I couldn't ! You're too nice ! +And these old Dutch candle holders would go nicely with the tea set . Have them . +Gee ! I don't know what to say ! Thanks so much . +As an existing banker , that will speed up the process . You said you had the documents with you ? +That's right . Here you go . +Before I verify those , I need you to fill in some forms . Then , as I said , I need to see valid credentials , your occupation and income details ... +OK , as I expected . How much will you allow me to borrow ? I mean , I don't need a massive sum of money . +You are authorized to borrow up to 20,000 RIB , with a repayment period of up to 1 year . +That'll be enough , and the repayment period sounds good to me . +We can also look at your current credit status and adjust the interest accordingly . +How soon before this goes through ? +If you sort out all of the paperwork today , you could have your loan by the end of the week . +Perfect . So , I guess my next job is to go to the newsagent and buy some car magazines . Thanks for everything . +Have you found a new job yet ? +No , not yet . I ’ m still looking . I ’ Ve been doing some work through a temp-agency though . +What kind of work ? +I ’ m temping at a pharmaceutical company . +What do you do there ? +Mostly office work - filing and so on . +How long is the assignment ? +Till the end of the month . +Linda , do you know Mr.Green ? +No , I don't think so . +Please meet him now . +Thanks . +Let ’ s move out of here . This apartment is too small . +I agree . I ’ ll look in the paper . +A house would be great . I could plant a garden . And you could use the garage for a workshop . +Here ’ s an interesting ad , For rent . Two-bedroom , unfurnished house , fenced yard , one-car garage . Pets OK . +How much is the rent ? +The ad says $ 325 plus deposit . +When is the place available ? +It ’ s available now , and it ’ s got a very good location . You won ’ t be far from work . +Is there something I can help you with ? +No , I'm just browsing . Thanks anyway . +Ok . +Miss , where do you want to go ? +Could you drop me off at the airport ? +No problem . +Do I need to pay any extra charge for my suitcases ? +Yes , you are charged 50 cents a piece . +All right . +Hello , I want to order an Easy-own package . What would you recommend ? +Which function do you use more , making calls or sending short messages ? +About the same . But I'm looking for a job , so I have to answer the phone often . +Then I recommend this package to you . You can receive all the calls free by paying just 10 yuan a month . +That's good . How can I order it ? +Sending a message ' KTCTWY ' to 10086 will do . +Thank you . I'll have a try . +You're welcome . +May I see a hat , please ? +What size do you take ? +I'm sorry . I don't know . +I'll measure you . . . You take size 6 . What colour hat would you like ? +Brown , please . +Here are some nice brown hats.Try this hat on.It ' s a very good one . +Yes , I like this one.It goes very well with my coat . How much is it ? +It's $ 9.95 . Do you want me to put it in a box ? +Waiter , the dish is cold to eat . Could you please heat it up for me ? +Sure . Wait a moment . +By the way , I would like some chilli oil . +OK . +I'd like to have the film developed . +For color prints ? +Yes . When can I get it back ? I can't wait to see the photos . +About three days . +Fine , I'd like two enlargements from this negative . +Here's your receipt . +Good morning . Can I help you ? +I want an American breakfast with fried eggs , sunny side up . +What kind of juice do you prefer , sir ? +Grapefruit juice and please make my coffee very strong . +Yes , sir .

He had a mask on . +Did he come in with anyone else ? +He was by himself . +Would you come down to the station for further questioning ? +That shouldn't be a problem . +Good morning . Elly company . +Good morning .

Attendance for managerial staff is mandatory , except for the financial department . Financial officers may participate if their schedules allow . +You would like me to send this to all managerial staff ? I'm sorry , sir , could you please clarify ? Who all is included in managerial staff ? +Managerial staff is anyone who is in a position of authority or responsibility , or who has anyone working under them . It includes all supervisors and department heads . +What about the senior account managers ?

It just arrived a few minutes ago . +Excellent . I have been expecting it . +Is it important ? +You bet it is . It's about the new contract . +Here it is , sir . +Look out !

I don't get out of work until five . Do you have a later flight ? +The next flight is at five fifteen and there's another at six thirty . +I'd better take the six thirty . It takes quite a while to get to the airport . +Yes , we have a seat available on that flight on the thirteenth . +Oh , good . What time does the flight get to Rome ? +The flight only takes an hour and a half . It arrives at eight o'clock . +Hi Isabel ! You wanted to see me ? +Yes Anthony , come on in .

If I can't find anything in the field , then I could also work in the tourism field . +that's a good idea .

Good luck ! +Help me organize these coins . +That's a lot of money ! What did you do ?

Maybe he was just a shy guy who had a crush on you ! +And look what we did to him ! Hey ... he left me his business card . +Wow ! Call him tonight ! You guys will really have an interesting love story to tell everyone ! +Waiter , we'd like a menu first , please . +Here you are . +Well , we are waiting for two friends , so could we just have a look at the menu for a while ? +Take your time . When you need anything , just call me . +Do you have any certificate that has something to do with tourism ? +Yes , I have the Tour Guide Certificate . +Why do you choose our travel agency ? +Because your travel agency has a good fame in this market ; what's more , all the staff here are working very hard . I like doing some challenging job . +May I ask whether we are allowed to wear casual clothes in the office ? +Sure , company rules are not very strict at this point . +Thank you for telling me that . +But remind you , there are some forbidden activities . +What are they ? I ’ ll be careful . +Don ’ t use office phones for personal matters . +I got it . +Never ever come to work drunk , also smoking in the office is not allowed . +I see +Does tea-serving follow any special etiquette in China ? Each time I dropped in at my Chinese friends ' homes , their parents would offer me a cup of hot , strong tea , though they never inquired of me about whether I want it . +You've got a point there . It is a custom and good manners to serve tea to a guest who comes to pay a visit . There is no need to ask if he needs it or not , or if he wants something else . It might be an insult to the guest if he is left sitting there without being served tea . +So the guest is presumed to be thirsty and in need of some drink after the trip . In that case , I guess , in return , the guest doesn't have to drink it if he wouldn't like it . +It wouldn't be considered rude behavior if he doesn't even take a single drop . But he'd better receive the teacup with both hands and bow his thanks when the cup is brought before his face . When the host pours hot water into his cup , he may also choose to tap his index finger on the table , meaning " Thanks " . No matter if he likes it or not , it is impolite if he doesn't even lay a finger on the cup . +So next time , I'd better take a few sips , to ' save face ' at least , right ? +Sure . The guest is welcomed by being served tea . But if after chatting for a while , the host asks servants or family members to serve a new cup of tea , or add some hot water , he is giving another signal . +What does that imply , then ? +More often than not , the understatement is ' I'm afraid it's time you leave ' . +Hello , Mr . Jones . +Hello , Miss Wu . +Long time no see . How is everything at home ? +Pretty good , thank you . And you ? +OK , thanks . Anything I can do for you ? +I need to remit £ 500 to London . +Yes , sir . Would you like to remit it by M / T or by T / T ? +T / T , please . +Very well , Mr . Jones . +Hello ! I ’ m now trying to take a bath , but there are too many buttons , would tell me how to use them ? +I see , we have an explanation left on the table . If you follow the direction , it ’ s quite simple . +I read it , but I couldn ’ t understand it . Would you come to my room and tell me how to use them ? +Oh , certainly . +And also tell me how to use other switches . +Hello . I'd like to change my reservation for March 19 . My name is Mary Chang . +Ah , yes , Miss Chang . What seems to be the problem ? +Well , I'd like to change the date to March 20 , and make that for two singles , not one . +Very well . That can be arranged . +To get around your difficulty , Mr Smith . I'd suggest that you reduce your order by half . You can send in an additional order later . +Well , I'll consider the possibility . By the way , when do I have to open the L / C if I want the goods to be delivered in June . +A month before the time you want the goods to be delivered . +Could you possibly effect shipment more promptly ? +Getting the goods ready , making out the documents and booking the shipping space , all this takes time you know . You cannot expect us to make delivery in less than a month . +Very well , Mr Zhang . I'll not reduce my order . I'll take the full quantity you offer . And I'll arrange for the L / C to be opened in your favor as soon as I get home . +When will that be ? +Early next month . In the meantime , I should be very pleased if you would get everything ready . I hope that the goods can be dispatched promptly after you get my L / CB +You can rest assured of that . +I'd like to buy a fridge . What about the quality of higher products ? +I strongly recommend it . As an international enterprise , it produces high quality household appliances . +Is there a warranty ? +Yes , all their products have warranties . +How long is it ? +The fridges is covered by a one-year warranty . +Which model is the best seller of this year ? +This one . How do you like it ? +It's too big for me . Could you recommend something else ? +Sure , this way please . +Ten dollars ? Maybe there are a lot of them ... +Seven dollars ! ! ! Incredible ! But I saw that the seller has kind of a bad rating . +Was it a delivery problem or a problem with the products ? +I read that someone called him a cheat and a liar !

I guess you get what you pay for . How long did you stay there ? +Just one night , when my flight was canceled due to bad weather . It ’ s bearable if you just need a place to crash , but you definitely don ’ t want to book a vacation there . Unless you enjoy sharing your room with cockroaches . +Hmm , I ’ ll pass . Hopefully I can find a decent place that won ’ t cost a fortune . +Excuse me , miss .

They want to get things moving . +Should I tell my bank that I have made an offer ? +There really isn ’ t anything else to do right now except wait .

I'm seriously considering pulling in an outside consultant to diagnose the cause of our problematic areas . I think we'd all benefit from an outsider's perspective . Sometimes we're just too closed to the problems to see the forest for the trees . +I think that's a good idea . You know I got a golfing buddy that runs a consultant firm . He's an expert in organizational comunication.He does't come cheap , but he's an expert in this field.Maybe he could help get things on track . +Do you have his card ? What's in his portfolio ? Which firm has he worked for in the past ? +He's done staff for Microsoft and Boeing . I think he's been involved with Siemens ' training evaluations as well .

Yang , can you tell us in what ways the new EBB is better than the old model ? +Certainly . First of all , the old model had a rather small screen , so not much information could appear at one time .

Do I have to buy a whole jin ? +You can get a liang if you want . A liang is one-sixteenth of a jin . That would be 330NT . +Whew ! That sounds more like my price range . I'll take two liangs . +I'll have my brother cut some for you . +This little red fruit looks good . What's it good for ? +That's a lucky fruit called hong zat !

It ’ s for that new fax machine we ’ re getting . +Oh , right . I remember . There you are . Hope you don ’ t have as many problems as I had ! +Do you think children watch too much tv ? +I only allow my child to watch up to an hour a day . I don ’ t think that tv is bad for kids . I think that kids should be active and not become couch potatoes . +Perhaps I should impose a limit on how much tv my kids can watch . They don ’ t do much else in their free time . At least they always do their homework first . +If you decide to put a limit on the amount of tv they can watch , remember to have something else for them to do . If you don ’ t , they ’ ll get bored and misbehave . +They could go out and play with their friends . +Sure . You could talk to other parents in your neighbourhood and plan it so that all the kids are free at the same time . +Perhaps I could ask my husband to teach them foot ball or some thing . He watches too much tv too . +That ’ s a good idea . Remember that if the parents watch too much tv , the kids will probably follow suit . +I have been having a lot of headaches lately . +Have you been having these headaches for a long time ? +I have had headaches my whole life , but they have been getting worse lately . +Have you been under a lot of stress lately ? +I ’ Ve been under stress , but no more than usual . +Have you been getting enough sleep lately ? +No , I only sleep a few hours a night . +Have you had any head injuries lately ? +Yes , actually I fell skiing last week and hit my head . +I am going to send you for a CT scan , and I will see you again when we see the results . +I'm Mary Kell .

I'll make out the duty memo ... Here you are.Take this and pay to the woman over there . +I've paid for it . Here's the receipt . +Very well . I hope you ' ll enjoy your stay in America . +Thank you . +Have you made up your mind about not going back to your hometown after graduation ? Where else would you go ? +I would try to land a job in Beijing . I just want to go to one of the big cities . +why ? +many say more development opportunities can be found there . +that's true . Beijing is the political , economic and cultural center of the entire country . +and there're higher salaries there . +well , that's true , but living expenses are also higher in big cities . +I've considered that . I'll share an apartment with others to save the rent , and the cost of living won't be too much for only one person . +one person ? How about your girlfriend ? +oh , we had to break up because she didn't want to float around in Beijing . She insisted on working in her hometown and having a stable life . +sorry to hear that . It seems you have sacrificed a lot to work away from home . +sure have . I want to offer my parents a better life ; so , I'll have to work very hard . +I admire you .

May I suggest a veal ? +No , I'll have the fish please . +The chicken is also nice . +No , I want the fish . +Our special tonight is lobster . +Thank you , but I prefer the fish . +Perhaps you'd enjoy the lamb . +No , I'd like the fish . +Whatever you say . +It's hot today , shall we go for a dip at the beach ? +That's a good idea . Let's bring our trunks and towels . +Would you like to swim in the swimming pool or at the beach ? +I'd prefer the pool . +OK . Let's pay the entrance fee and change our clothes in the dressing room . +What style do you use ? +Well , I use breast stroke for long distance , crawl or free style for short distance and back stroke just for fun . +Shouldn't you already be in bed ? +I can't sleep . I'm really not all that tired . +You need to get some rest , as you have to get up early in the morning . +It's impossible for me to get to sleep right now . +Just close your eyes , and try not to think . +That really does not work for me . +It doesn't matter , you need to get some sleep . +How about I tire myself out , and then fall asleep when I'm tired ? +Then you're not going to go to sleep . +Don't worry , I'll make sure and get to sleep in a little while . +I want you in bed , right now , so sweet dreams . +Fine . Sleep well yourself . +Would you mind telling me your grades in high school ? +Of course not . My school record was above average in my class . +Very good . What was your favorite subject in middle school ? +English . I've liked English ever since middle school , and then in university , I had some excellent teachers . +How were your scores in university ? +They are above 90 . I ’ m in the upper third of my class . I have worked hard at my major subject . +What's the matter here ? +Somebody broke into my house in the morning . +When did you find out ? +About 12 o'clock , when I came home from work . +Apparently forced entry . The lock is battered to pieces . +I wonder how the burglar did it . +He is so unskillful . I have never seen such an awkward burglar . +That's because we have a strong lock . +Probably . Let's check the inside then . +Did you find anything ? +Yes , the house was in a terrible mess . It was almost turned upside down by the burglar . +Oh , er ... sorry that's because we didn't have time to clean it . +You mean it is not created by the burglar ? +Definitely not , sir . +Would you mail a letter for me ? My hands are full . +Oh , I am sorry . I ’ m afraid I can ’ t do it now . I have to meet my supervisor in a few seconds . But I could mail it after that . +That ’ s fine .

See you . +May I help you ? +Yes , I would like to place an order for toner cartridges .

What are those ? +Green beans . They pop and turn brown when you roast them . +Cool ! But isn't that a hot air popcorn popper ? +This machine roasts the beans just right . If you roast them too long , or the temperature is too hot ... +The beans will burn . I know . I've tasted burnt coffee before ... yuck ! +Good morning , sir . How may I help you ? +Good morning ! Do you have any rooms available at the moment ? +Yes , we do . What kind of room would you like ? +I'd like a suite for four nights . +Please wait a moment while I check availability .

I wish you a pleasant stay here . Goodbye ! +Bye-bye ! +It's my first visit to Prague , I'll be here for three days for a conference , then I have a day on my own to do some sightseeing before I head back home . What do you suggest I see when I'm here ? +There are many interesting places you should be sure to see . One problem is transportation , however . Because the city is very old , the roads are narrow and congested . If you only have three or four days to visit , you don't want to spend them waiting in traffic in a cab . I suggest you take the subway . +The subway ? But is there a subway station next to my hotel ? I have to go between the conference center and the hotel several times a day ... +No worries , there's a subway station at the conference center itself , and a shuttle from your hotel to the conference center that takes only 5 minutes . When you do your personal sightseeing , you can first take the shuttle to the conference center , then hop on the metro . +Is it expensive to ride on the underground ? +You can get a daily pass that will allow you to travel unlimited for the whole day for about 6 dollars .

How can I help you ? +My paycheck that just arrived is less than last week ’ s check . +Did you work at all during the last pay period ? +Yes , actually , I did make a little bit of money . +Did you report it on your Continued Claim Form ? +Yes , I showed that income on the Continued Claim Form . +Well , we deducted a portion of the income that you made from this week ’ s check . +Maybe I just shouldn ’ t show the income then . +That is cheating and , if you get caught , you will be fined and disqualified from collecting unemployment . +Excuse me , sir . May I go with you to claim my luggage ? I am a stranger here . +Sure , I have to go anyway . But the first place you need to go is immigration office .

Hey , I told you to put the files on the in tray , not on my desk . +The pile is over ten feet high . I am afraid it will fall all over and bury you underneath it if I put this file on top of it . +Very funny . What's wrong with you today ? You are my secretary and you are not supposed to talk to me in that tone of voice . Do you know that ? +What do you expect ? I've been working for you for three years , and you've never given me a holiday . I don't feel well today , because I have a terrible headache . I am not in the mood for being gentle and polite . If you can't stand it , it's your problem . I am not going to change , because I think it suits you best . +Keep your voice down , Kate . I know you've had a hard day today , but you should at least show some respect for me . If you really don't feel well , go home . There isn't much work today anyway . +I apologize for forgetting myself , but I do need some time off . +I ’ m not sure what you expect me to do , Michelle . You ’ Ve not been very clear about any of this . +I ’ m sorry , Clint . Maybe I didn ’ t make myself clear enough . We should get together to discuss this . +Yeah .

Is that it ? +I just need to see some ID , like a passport for example . +Here .

Probably less time to make dinner and the junk food is cheaper . +and junk food contains lots of fat and oil . There is one final reason why so many people are fat . +what's that ? +nobody exercises anymore-not even kids ! The average american home has the TV on for 6 hours a day ! +wow ! No wonder people are so fat . Say , Carl , looks like you could be doing a bit more exercising . +yeah , I guess so . +you should consider eating healthier food and getting some more exercise . +hey , I started a diet and lost 10 pounds . +so what happened ? +well , I quit and gained it back plus 5 pounds . +you should have kept trying . +Room service.what can I do for you ? +I would like to have my room cleaned .

Small kids get dressed up , then walk around with paper bags or baskets , knocking on the neighbor's +They are supposed to say trick or treat ? Then the neighbors are supposed to hand up the candy . +That's kind of cool . But what's the trick mean ? +Usually it's the older kids going around playing Halloween , like punching the pumpkins left outside people's doors or - - someone's tree . They usually do it late at night after little kids go +That sounds kind of fun , maybe I can get tighter with my friends that night . +Usually be adults , you don't have kids have a big party in get dressed up too . +That does sound a lot of fun . +Driver , bring me to the station . +OK . +Can you please speed up ? I am catching the train . +I am sorry . There is a speed limit . +Oh , my god . +Are you OK there ? +Oh , my computer crashed again ! +Can I help ? +That would be great ! I hate working with computers ! +Year ! They are unreliable sometimes . +Good morning , sir . Can I help you ? +Good day . I ’ m looking for a one-bedroom apartment today . +Certainly . How much rent did you want to pay ? +Well , I didn ’ t want to pay more than $ 900 a month . +$ 900 a month ? We don ’ t often have apartment as inexpensive as that . We have one apartment for $ 985 a month today , on Eleventh Avenue . It ’ s near the municipal buildings . +Is it furnished ? +No , it ’ s unfurnished . It has a kitchen , but there are not many cookers . There ’ s a garden in the back , but the tenants can ’ t use it . The landlord lives downstairs . Friends are forbidden in the apartment after midnight . No noise and no television after 11 ... +No , thank you ! I want to take an apartment , not a prison . +Ok , we would do as your requirement .

We will come to our final decision based on your credit rating , the payment capability ... +Well , we have no problems with our credit rating , I can assure you . +Could you tell me where the cereal is ? +If you go to the breakfast aisle , you'll find the cereal there . +What aisle is that ? +You'll find it by the oatmeal and breakfast bars . +I know where that is at . +Is there anything else you need help finding ? +Could you point me toward the dishwashing detergent ? +That's over by the paper towels and toilet paper . +I didn't even think about that . +That's where it is . +Thank you so much for helping me . +Let me know if you need anything else . +How time flies ! We have been lovers for nearly a year . We hit it off instantly . +Yes , but do you think there is eternal love in the world ? +Is Tom here ? +Speaking . +Hello , I need to come in and see the doctor . +Are you scheduling a check-up , or are you ill ? +I have really itchy skin and think I may have to have it looked at . +Have you been feeling any joint aches with that rash ? +No , but I have a low fever . +I have times available for Tuesday or Wednesday .

I only want it to be a very good one . The best.It ' s a graduation gift for my son . +I see . And does your son have a VCR now ? +Well , he uses our VCR at home.But he's going to university in the Fall , so he needs his own VCR . +Does he watch a lot of movies ? +Yes , he sure does.In fact , he wants to become a movie producer himself.He wants to study film at the university . +I would like to make a suggestion then , sir . +Please do . +If your son wants to study film , probably he will start to collect movies himself . +Yes , I know that . So I want him to have a good VCR to use . +May I suggest you consider buying him a DVD player instead ? +DVD ? Isn't that like a CD ? +It is very similar . The technology is the same . +Why is a DVD better than a VCR ? +For one thing , sir , the quality of the image is usually better.That ' s because it's digital . +But isn't it more expensive ? +It is a little more expensive , sir.But there is one important advantage which your son might appreciate . +What's that ? +If your son starts to buy video tapes , he can't keep them very long . +And why not ? +Video tape breaks down after fifteen years.So if he collects a lot of tapes , after fifteen years they will all start to rot . +Hmm . Is that true ? +Yes , it is , sir . +Well . And what about DVDs ? +This is the excellent thing about DVDs.If your son starts to collect DVDs , they will last forever . They will never rot . +Hmm . He might really appreciate that . I know he will start to collect movies at school . Especially if he studies film . +So let me show you some of our DVD players.In my opinion , DVD is the wave of the future . +Alright , please show me what you have . +Your family must be busy shopping for Christmas , now . +Oh yeah and decorating the house too was colored paper and pictures . they will put a Christmas tree just inside the front door , pained toys and colored electric lights along the branches and plays all the gift packages under it +Woo , your home will beautiful on Christmas . +Sure thing . +I do wish your christmas and happy new year . +Thanks . +Do you have the same style in white ? +Sorry , miss .

In fact , we are No . 1 in terms of market share . +You have gotten amazing success . Congratulations ! +I hope we can continue to get support from the departments concerned . +Without a doubt . Relevant department will try their best . +Is this the right counter to check in for this flight ? +Can I have a look at your ticket ? +Here you are . I have just come from downtown . +I am sorry.sir.Your plane has just taken off . +Really ? What can I do now ? I can't miss the important meeting . +I am so sorry to hear that . Maybe you should go to the information counter over there . They can give you some advice . +May I sit here ? +By all means . +I'm afraid I've a complaint to make , which is about the goods we ordered last week . +What is it ? +I will explain the problem briefly . We found in the examination that 35 % of the goods have damaged . +Really ? That's something unexpected . You see , all our exports are strictly inspected before shipment . The goods were in perfect condition when they left the port . +Here's the survey report issued by the China Commodity Inspection Bureau . According to the report , the damage was caused by poor packing . Our surveyors also discovered some cracks on the surface of a number of other cases . +Our goods are well-examined before shipment . I'm afraid the losses must have occurred on route . +Please look into the matter and solve the problem immediately . +We will check with the parties concerned right away . +Can you help me pick out a gift for my niece ? +Most normal little girls go wild over Barbie dolls . +That sounds good . Let me see one . +Here's the latest model — Digital Barbie . +Oh , she's nice . How much is she ? +Why , she's only $ 29.95 . +Well , that's reasonable . I'll take it . +Excellent .

I will go to Mainland China for a business trip tomorrow , and I want to change some Hong Kong dollars into Renminbi . +How much do you want , Mr.Chen ? +One thousand yuan , please . By the way , what is today's exchange quotation ? +The rate is still high for other foreign currencies . The exchange rate for Hong Kong dollars into Renminbi is 1.053 Renminbi yuan to one dollar . +Oh , I see . Could you please split the one thousand Renminbi into hundreds and tens ? +Certainly , sir . How do you want it ? +Five hundred in hundred RIB notes and the others in ten RIB notes , please . +Yes , Mr.Chen . Here you are . +Thank you very much . +Good morning , madam . Can I help you ? +I want to buy some cleansing milk . What would you recommend ? +Your complexion is on the oily side . I suggest you use cleansing gel . +Anything that can keep my skin clean will do . +How do you prefer this one ? It cleans thoroughly without striping your natural protective oil . The gentle formula keeps skin soft and healthy . +Hm ... the smell is too strong , I can't stand it . I'm very sensitive to fragrance . +We've also got a fragrance-free one , specially designed for sensitive skin . I'm sure you'll like it . +I'll try that . Do you have facial cream to go with that ? +Yes , sure . This line of products is fragrance-free . We have a facial mask , moisturizing lotion , eye cream and tonic . +I'll buy the moisturizing lotion and cleansing gel first . If they suit me , I'll come back for the others later . +Thank you very much , madam . Here are some samples of our products . Do try them out . +This book I'm reading about Yoga is really interesting . +I didn't know you did Yoga . +I don't really practice it regularly yet , I'm just learning about it . +What have you learned ? +Right now I'm learning about the importance of breathing slow , deep and regularly . +As opposed to short and shallow ? +Yes . It says here , ' He who only half breathes , half lives . ' +I read something like that once . I think it was , ' Life is in the breath . ' +Excuse me , could you please take a picture for us ? +Sure . Where would you like to stand ? +Over here with the waterfall in the background , please . +OK . +Then just press the black button all the way down . +Are you ready ? Here we go . Say Cheese ! +It could be the battery . Let me Check it . +Is it the battery ? +Yes , the battery is dead . +Do you have an extra battery ? +No , I've only got one . OK , thank you all the same . +If you don't mind , you can use my camera and leave your address with me so I can send you the photos later . +That's so kind of you . Thank you very much ! +You're welcome . Now smile ... +Mr . Brown , I'd like to talk with you about something that is getting to be a problem . I'd like , if possible , to see it settled at this meeting . +What is it , Mrs . Wang ? +It's about the quality of 300 cartons of dried mushrooms . They reached us two weeks ago , and were immediately examined after they arrived . To our astonishment , about 20 % of them were moldy and in many cartons there were even small brownish bugs crawling in and out of the half eaten mushrooms . We can't accept them in this state . They are unfit for human consumption . And the Medical Officer of Health has issued a Stop Notice on them . +Is that so ? So far we haven't had any complaint of this kind . Our mushrooms have enjoyed a good reputation for their superior quality for years . We are really at a loss to understand why your lot was found moldy and wormeaten . Have you any evidence ? +Certainly . Here's a survey report by a well-known lab in London , whose testimony is absolutely reliable . +Though everything may be as you say , there are many factors involved . What's more , your surveyors have not mentioned any cause for the damage . +The mushrooms were packed in small one pound plastic bags , sixty of these bags to a carton . It is stated on the surveyor ? s report that external conditions of goods at the time of survey are all sound and intact . So it is obvious the cause of the damage is that the mushrooms were not completely dried before packing . +As you know , before shipment , the Commodity InspectionBureau inspected the goods in question . They concluded that the goods were well dehydrated from fresh and choice material and up to standard for export . +I think the Inspection Bureau at your end , when effecting inspection , only selected a few package at random these happened to be up to the standard . The part that was not dried properly , most probably , escaped their attention . As the amount in question is only 20 % of the whole shipment , I think it is only reasonable that you should compensate us for the loss . +The inspection certificate , which is based on a random selection of 20 % of the consignment as we've agreed on beforehand , is considered final and binding upon both parties . We do not accept any claims for compensation for loss incurred in transit , because you bought the goods F . O . B . Houston and on shipping quality , not on landed quality . Your claim , in our opinion , should be referred to the insurance company , as the mishap occurred after shipment . +We've already got in touch with the underwriter . But they have refused to accept any liability . They attributed the accident to the effects of dampness during the long sea voyage . +That's a matter over which we could exercise no control , then . I'm afraid I have to insist that you approach the insurance company for settlement , that is , if you have covered this risk in your coverage . +To my regret , we failed to cover contamination . This is an unfortunate oversight on our part and a lesson to us . +Otherwise the insurance company would no doubt have entertained your case . +Well , live and learn . It seems we'll have to waive the claim . +Lucy , I ’ d like to fix the light in the corridor , it keeps flashing , which drives me crazy . Would you like to help me with the ladder ? +Monica , wait a moment . I think we ’ d better call the repair man to do it . +I think I can handle it by myself . +I ’ d like you to have a look at the safety manual of our company . +I see . If I got hurt when fixing the light , even during office hours , I wouldn ’ t get compensation from our company since repairing is not my responsibility . +Other company rules also need your attention . +Like this one ? +Never wear loose clothes or hair when operating the shredder . +Yeah , thank you for telling me . +Don ’ t mention it . +George , is your chicken OK ? +It tastes great , but it is really dry . Is your fish all right ? +My fish is very dry . +I wonder if they left it sitting around too long before they served it . +That's exactly what I was thinking had happened . +Are your vegetables OK ? +The vegetables are kind of mushy . +So are mine . I think they left them cooking too long . +The food here is usually good , so I think that we should tell the waiter that there is a problem . +I think that you are right . Maybe they can give us a free dessert or something . +Order ! +Your Honor , I am ready to make my plea . +What ’ s your plea ? +I am pleading not guilty . +But all the evidence points to you . +I am not the guilty party +What are you saying ? +I am not the person who committed that crime . +Who is ? +Will you let me go if I tell you ? +We can work something out . +I have no problem singing like a canary . +Where can I find information on this subject ? +I'm not sure . Let's look up the catalogue . +Will you give some advice on this experiment ? +I advise that step be taken in power supply first . +What's his suggestion for this work ? +His suggestion is that the work be started at once . +The way I see it is that they'd join us . +I think so too . +Hi , Alex . How are you doing ? +Just fine , Karen . I ’ m just taking a breather from all this paper work ! +I know the feeling . I ’ m calling to let you know about this new Italian place I found . It ’ s right around the corner . +I ’ ll have to try it . You know how I am about Italian food ! What ’ s the name ? +We have made some adjustment on the prices , and this is renewed price list . +Thank you for allowing us 3 % reduction , but still we find your price is on the high side . +This is our rock-bottom price and we can't make any further reduction . +If so , we find it difficult for us to go on with our talks . +Then , what's your countr-offer ? +This is our counter-offer . +We are sincere to make business with you , but the difference between your counter-offer and our price is too great . +So are we , our counter-offer is in line with the world market . +How about meeting each other half-way in order to conclude the business ? +Agreed . +Can I take your order ? +I'll take two value meals . +What kind of drink do you want with those ? +One Coke and the other a Sprite , please . +You can super-size your meal for only 39 cents extra . +Yes , I'd like that , then . +How about anything for dessert like an apple pie or ice cream ? +No , thanks . That will be all . +Hello sir , how may I help you ? +I would like to buy some flowers , please . Something really nice . +I see , may I ask what the occasion is ? +It ’ s not really an occasion , it ’ s more like I ’ m sorry . +Very well.This arrangement here is very popular among regretful husbands and boyfriends . It has a dozen long stem red roses with a couple of sunflowers and a single orchid that stands out . It includes a small teddy bear to achieve the effect of immediate forgiveness . +I think I ’ m gonna need more than just a dozen red roses and a bear . What else do you recommend ? +Mmm , well this is our “ I ’ m sorry I cheated on you ” package . Two dozen red roses lined with tulips , carnations and lilies . The fragrance and beauty of this flower arrangement is sure to make her forgive you . +I don ’ t think that ’ s gonna cut it . I need something bigger and better ! +I ’ m sorry sir but , what exactly did you do ? +Well , I may have accidentally insinuated that she is getting chubbier . +Get out of my store , you jerk ! +That girl looks very attractive , doesn ’ t she ? +Do you think so ? I don ’ t like girls who look like that . I like girls who are not too slim . If you like her , go and talk to her . +I ’ d like to , but there ’ s her boyfriend . He ’ s very broad-shouldered . +He ’ s huge ! He must go to the gym to have a well-built body like that . +Do you prefer tall girls or short ones ? +I don ’ t mind , but I like girls with long hair . +We have different tastes . I like girls with short hair . I like tall girls-probably because I ’ m so tall myself . +Have you ever dated a girl taller than you ? +No , never . I don ’ t think I ’ Ve ever met a girl taller than me ! Have you gained weight recently ? +Yes , I have . Perhaps I should go to the gym , like that girl ’ s boyfriend . +I'm getting a bit plump myself . Perhaps I ’ ll go with you . +Excuse me , I ’ d like to buy a guitar.Could you recommend one ? +Sure.Do you want an acoustic one or an electric one ? +An acoustic one . +Are you looking to get a steel-string or a classical ? +What ’ s the difference ? +Well , a classical guitar has nylon strings and its neck is bigger than a steel-string guitar ’ s.It ’ s best suited for finger picking . A steel-string is best for playing chords . +I ’ m mainly interested in learning to play rhythm guitar . +In that case , I ’ d suggest a steel-string guitar.The best one we have is the Ovation . +This one ’ s a little too expensive for me . I ’ d prefer something cheaper for now.When I ’ Ve learned to play , I might get a better one . +In that case , how about this one ? It ’ s inexpensive but it ’ s still well made and easy to play . +Hmm.All right , I ’ ll take it , and this book on how to play the guitar as well . +You should also get a couple of guitar picks . +Oh , right.Thanks for your help . +Don ’ t mention it . +Is Mr .

These pavilions were used for gathering and leisure time . These five peaks also draw the approximate historical axis of central Beijing . +Anything else ? +According to the dictates of Eng Shut , it is favorable to site a residence to the south of a nearby hill . When the capital was moved to Beijing , no hill existed at this location , so one was constructed . It is called " Coal Hill " . The last emper-or of Ming Dynasty , Chongzhen , committed suicide by hanging himself here in 1644 . +Tragedy . +Jingshan Park is especially a popular place for old people socializing and gathering .

It felt as if I were in another world . +Exactly . You know , the sunshine and wind remind me of our honeymoon . You remember ? The island , the sound of the waves , the salty sea air and the sunshine ... +Yes , it was wonderful but it's already been a year . How time flies ! +Why not go again to celebrate our one-year anniversary ? We can go to the same beach , stay in the same hotel and enjoy a dinner in the same restaurant . +Are you kidding ? Can you afford it ? Do you think we can get a room on such short voice ? +Never mind that , I'll take care of it . Are you available next week ? +Yeah , I think so . +Ok .

They will be delivered in two weeks . +What are the advantages of buying online ? +Sometimes you can save money and you can find things that you had difficulty finding in a store . sometimes it's just convenient , like doing it late at night and sometimes it's just fun . +The idea of doing it at night is interesting .

But you should go to the Ultrasonic Department to disperse the stone . Meanwhile , I'll give you some herbal medicine . +Oh , I've heard a lot about the Chinese herbal medicine . I believe it will work . +Just whose fault is this damage ? +The order was in good shape when it left out factory . +It certainly didn't arrive here that way . +We'll make it right with you , of course . +How about taking the damaged portion at a lower price ? +What kind of price did you want ? +I was thinking of 30 % off . +That will probably be Ok . +I ’ m glad to have the opportunity of visiting your corporation . I hope to conclude some substantial business with you . +It ’ s a great pleasure to meet you , Mr . Brown . I believe you have seen our exhibits in the showroom .

Meanwhile , could you give me an indication of price ? +Here are our F . O . B . price lists . All the prices in the lists are subject to our confirmation . +What about the commission ? From European suppliers I usually get a 3 to 5 percent commission for my imports . It ’ s the general practice . +As a rule we don ’ t allow any commission . But if the order is a substantial one , we ’ ll consider it . +You see , but I do business on a commission basis . A commission on your prices would make it easier for me to promote sales . Even two or three percent would help . +That ’ s something we can discuss later . +What's the cost of the trousers ? +$ 90 . +Is there a price reduction ? +Sorry , sir . The prices here are all fixed . +I have a question about my payment and need someone to help me . +Yes , I would be happy to answer a question about payment .

That ’ s about ten kilometers . +That sounds OK . So , we start here at the car park and walk along the path to the waterfall . +Right . Then we turn left and walk up this small hill . The view from the top of the hill is worth the climb . We can eat a snack there . +Then we will follow this path down the hill to the old church . +We can spend a few minutes looking around the church . Then , we turn right and walk along this path . +This path leads to the cave . Can we look inside the cave ? +Yes , we can , but it isn ’ t very interesting . +Then we turn south and come back to the car park along this path . +That ’ s right . +How long do you think it will take us to complete the walk ? +I think it will take about four hours , including breaks . +That ’ s fine . Are there signposts along the way , in case we get lost ? +Yes , there are . They tell use which way to go and how far we have to walk . +Bob returned from Japan last week . You know that ? +Yeah . I met him yesterday.He ' s no longer the same young man as he was eight years ago . +I think so , too . +What does it cost to ride this bus ? +The fare is $ 1.25 . +Have you been driving buses a long time ? +I haven't been driving for long — only for a few months . +Do you like to drive the bus ? +Not in the least bit . +I would have never dreamed of ever becoming a bus driver . +I never dreamed of doing this either . The only thing I like about it is the money . +It was really fun chatting with you . +It was really nice talking to you too . +Have a good one . +I'll have a good day once this day is over . +Oh , my God ! What's this ? +What ? +Look ! This window is open . +Did you open it before we left ? +Are you kidding ? It's winter . Why would I open it ? +I don't know . Wait . Is this yours ? +No ! Oh , my God ! Someone has broken into the house . +It looks that way . That's probably why the door wasn't locked when we came in . +I locked it when I left though . +Yes , but the robber broke in.Then , when he left , he left through the door . So it wasn't locked . +I don't care about that , Allen ! What did he steal ? That's the question ! +Look around . +The TV's still here . +And your stereo too . So what did he steal ? We have to go look upstairs . +But what if someone's still up there ? +I don't think there will be . He left through the door , remember ? +Have you got any outdoor interests ? +Yes . My only recreation is skateboarding . +Oh , I know it . It is included in extreme sports . I think it's too dangerous for me . +Maybe . But it emphasizes participation and a spirit of courage , and can give one the extreme sense of cheerfulness and success . I'm getting to like the game more and more . +I ’ m deeply grateful for all you ’ Ve done . +You ’ re welcome . I enjoyed helping you . +I have a sweet tooth . Chocolate is my favorite . So how about you ? +So do I . +I can't stand being with you any more . I'm sick of your drinking . +I swear I never drink again .

What seems to be the problem ? +No problem at all ! I am taking a long road trip and I want to make sure my car is in good mechanical condition . +Very wise decision . When was the last time you had a tune up ? +Not that long ago , I think it was four months ago . +We usually recommend that you bring your car in every five thousand kilometers . +Why ? I mean , what exactly do you do to a car that you need to check it so often ? +First of all , we change the motor oil and oil filter . If you don ’ t do this , it can cause your engine to wear faster and that means you would probably have to change the pistons and intake valves . +I see . What else ? +We also check your spark plugs , fuel filter , and other oil levels such as hydraulic fluid . We also check the clutch and brakes to determine when you will need new ones . +Ok , well , when you put it that way , it doesn ’ t seem like a waste of time and money . +Trust me , regular tune ups will keep your car running smoothly and avoid break downs . +Which aisle has the produce ? +Aisle A is where you'll find all the produce . +Are cherries on sale today ? +I don't know , but I'm sure the produce person can tell you . +Welcome to IBA Consumer Credit . What can I assist you with ? +My family really needs a car , we live quite far out of the town centre , but unfortunately we cannot afford to pay out such a large sum of money in one go . +That's a problem facing many young families nowadays , and we are sympathetic to the problem . That's why we have just started a new scheme ; a Personal Automobile Consumer Loan . +Great , I just hope I qualify ! Could you tell me some more ? Can I use the money to buy the car from anywhere ? +What we usually do is find a suitable car dealer for you , who offer the type of car that you need . If it's a family car that you want , we have a very reliable dealer already contracted to us . +Then I can go to this appointed dealer , see what they've got and then make a decision ? +Yes . When you have decided exactly what you want and have a purchase price we can begin to process the loan . As long as you provide the proper documentation , of course . +What do you require ? +A correctly filled in application form , ID card , proof of residency , proof of income , the agreement from the agent and of course the 20 % down payment . +That sounds fine . If you could give me the name and address of the dealer I'll go over there now and see what they've got . +The operation in the lab is radioactive and dangerous , so work with care . Have you got ear muffs and gloves ? +Do I have to wear ear muffs and gloves ? I am not used to working with them on . +Yes , you have to . It is a safety rule of the company .

So you will have no trouble finding it . +What's the presentation about ? +I will talk about developing sales through our website.All the branch heads will be there , and most of the staff . +Will you need anything special for the presentation ? +Well , I need the display monitor.But Tom can set that up for me on Wednesday . I will need you to help with everything else . +I suppose you need the whiteboard set up . +I've got some great news for you ! +did you get the position you wanted ? +yes , I'll be promoted to department manager . +I'm glad to hear that . Congratulations ! +thank you . Actually , I could not believe it at first . You know , there're so many outstanding people in our company . Many of them are qualified to fill that position . +sure , but you really did great and outperformed the others . You deserved it ! +thank you very much . +you always have unique ideas and you're such a team leader . +I appreciate it very much . You've been doing great .

He or she will know all the local laws and regulations . +That ’ s very important . A friend recommended a good law firm to me . We ’ ll need someone to hire staff . +I think that we should send one of our HR people to do that . I don ’ t think we should use an agency , because they won ’ t be familiar with the type of people we employ . Have we decide on the location of the branch office ? +Yes . We have . We chose the location in the northeast of the city , not too far from the airport and on the edge of the CBD . +Why didn ’ t we choose an office in the CBD ? +The offices there were too expensive . Have we negotiated any contracts yet ? +Yes . We ’ Ve signed two contracts with companies that we already do work for in other countries . We hope to sign another three this month . +When will the branch office open ? +Hopefully next month . Everything is a little rushed .

I stand behind you . +Jim , what do you think of that first interviewee ? +Well , he looked sharp and he came across as a very confident guy . +Okay , what about the first woman ? +She looked a little rough around the edges but had great skills . +All right , and what about the older gentle ? +He was very distinguished , maybe a bit over-qualified . +Ohhhh . I hate this part of my job . +Why don't you go over the resumes again ? They might help you decide who to hire . +Could I trouble you for a minute , Mr . Graham ? +Sure , Emily . How can I help you ? +I would like to leave a few minutes early today . Would that be all right ? +That ’ s fine , as long as you can get that report typed up before you leave . +Maintenance Department . May I come in ? +Come in , please . +Did you call us ? +Yes . The television is not working properly . +What's the problem ? +The remote control doesn't work . I turned on the television , but I can't change the channel . +Let me have a look . I think the batteries should be changed . Let me replace them with new ones . Now , it's working . +That's great . +Is there anything else I can do for you ? +No , thanks . +If you have any problems , just call us . +OK . Thank you . +Melissa ?

They're very creamy and tasty . +Look at the long line , there are always a lot of people waiting in lines just for the cheese burger . It must be very delicious . +Yup . But , this also means we have to wait to order our food . +Come on . It is worth waiting . Their cheese burgers are really popular . Once you have it , you will love it . +Well , sounds very attractive . I just tried their vanilla milkshake last time , and it was really delicious . +Yup , they have good French fries as well . Not very thick , but crispy enough . You should try them with some mayonnaise sauce . That is the Belgium style . You will love it . +OK , I think I know what to order for my lunch now . But , eating too much fried food really makes me fat . +Come on . You just have it once in a while , not every day . It will not harm you . +That's true . You can hear my tummy grumbling . I am really hungry ! +Be patient . Good food never comes fast . +Ok ! +May I help you ? +Give me six-piece chicken nuggets , a large fries , and a large coke . +You will need to wait a few minutes for fries . They're still in the fryer . +That's fine . +Your total comes to 7 dollars . +Here's 20 . +Thank you . Your cash back is 13 dollars . Pull into a parking states , and we'll bring you your fries in two minutes . +Thanks . +have you read the feature article about Oprah Winfrey in this magazine ? +no , what's it about ? +apparently , she's being given an award for donating so much money to charity . +she's very generous with her money . I think that's because she was poor when she was young . +I heard that she's one of the wealthiest women in the world . +I'd believe it . She owns magazines , television shows and she has a huge fan base . +you know ; I heard that she was opening a school for underprivileged girls in Africa . +did they mention that in the article ? +yes , she's not only building the school , but is also using her own money for the upkeep of the school and to pay the teachers a fair salary . +that's really commendable . I think more celebrities should use their money to help people like Oprah has . +I agree . So many celebrities waste their money on sports cars , expensive clothing , and luxurious hotels . +it's amazing how much money they can spend . I heard Britney Spears once spent $ 24,000 a night on a hotel room ! +what a waste . It's good to see some stars that are more concerned with charity than status symbols . +What kind of jobs have you had ? +I worked as a personnel manager in a state-owned company , and then I transferred to a joint venture as a sales manager . So I am familiar with the exile market in China . +How did your previous employers treat you ? +They treated me very well . We cooperated harmoniously and respected each other . +What have you learned from the jobs you have had ? +I have learned some skills about how to deal with clients and how to behave myself as a personnel manager . +When you worked in your previous company , which did you prefer , working with other people or by yourself ? +I prefered working with other colleagues when I worked in my previous company . I think teamwork and cooperation are very important . No matter how competent he or she is in a company , he can't do without them . +Excuse me , sir . Can you tell me where I can buy some chocolates ? +Two rows up on the right . We have various kinds of chocolates . +Thank you . How much is this kind of chocolate ? +$ 10 a kilo . +Hello .

Well , she ’ s very smart , and has a great sense of humor . She ’ s very feminine ... +Perhaps you could give her a ring ? +Well ... actually ... I was thinking about asking Jess to marry me ... I ’ Ve just been so nervous . +Well sir , I believe your fifth anniversary is a great time to propose ! +Okay , I ’ Ve decided . I ’ m going to pop the question ! +Fabulous !

What will make you happy ? +Well , I suggest you just keep me posted.That should do it.That way the burden is on me to decide when to buy , not you . +Excuse me ? +Yeah , it really is that simple.Every time there's a change in the items we do business on , you let me know . That's all you need to do . +What kind of change , just in prices ? +No , any change . I want you to keep me as informed as you are . I need to know as much as you do . If you hear about something that might happen , then tell me about it.Tell me it's rumor , what it's based on and your opinion on how likely it is . +You mean on product availability , reliability and price ? +No , everthing.Those things for sure , but also labor problems , raw materials , new subcontractors , mergers , in short , anything and everything.So I can make a fully informed decision . +So it's like you want me to be your eyes and ears into the industry .

I want to repay the loan ASAP ; I don't like debt hanging over my head . +A wise decision . If you decide to take out a short-term loan with us , say for 6 months or less , the interest rate shall be for that of a 6 - month loan . +What if I repay it early . Any perks ? +Well , we could adjust the interest rate based on the original rate and the amount of days you actually borrowed the money for . +So , the quicker I pay it back , the more I can save in interest ? That's excellent . Thanks so much for your information . I'll come in shortly to take the relevant steps for the loan . +It's our pleasure . We are always happy to have another satisfied customer . Thanks for calling . Goodbye . +Can I reserve a hotel room ? +I assure you , that's not a problem . What is your full name , please ? +My name's John Sandals . +It's a pleasure to assist you . Please tell me when you'll be needing the room , sir . +If my plans don't change , I'll need a room April 14 till April 17 . +Sir , our room prices are slightly higher than you may have thought . Will that be okay ? +Tell me how much it will be , and I can tell you if it's okay . +Only $ 308 per night , before taxes , of course . +$ 308 a night ? That's a fair price . +Now , as for the room , sir , do you prefer smoking or nonsmoking ? +Nonsmoking , please . +Nonsmoking . Now , sir , does a single queen-size bed meet your approval ? +I have absolutely no problem with that . +Queen , nonsmoking . Okay , sir , your room is reserved . Now if you'll just give me your phone number . +Not a problem . The number is 626-555-1739 . +Thank you for making a reservation with us . We look forward to seeing you in April ! +Hi , Mary , can I have a minute ? +Sure , what's up ? +Well , actually I want to tell you that I've put in notice . +Really ? Why ? +Many reasons . I've been here for too long . Next year will be my five-year anniversary . I want a change of setting . Besides , our company is downsizing . I don't want to stay on just to be let go . +But they wouldn't lay you off ! You are the most experienced project manager in the company . +Maybe . But that's not kept the new boss from breathing down my neck . To be honest , I've got a better offer from another company . +Oh that's great , congratulations ! What's your new position ? +Senior director of market research . In addition to a nice pay rise it has some nice perks , like a company car , one month paid vacation , and an apartment downtown . And it's an international company so I'll have lots of chances to travel and meet new people . I'm really looking forward to it . +Sounds a great opportunity . I bet that made the decision to leave a lot easier . +Indeed . But let's stay in touch . I'll let you know how things go . +Sure . +Hey ! A real cook gets down and dirty . Besides , I think I look good covered in baking mix ... +What concoction are you making ? +Well , your making cinnamon toast inspired me to go out and buy a waffle maker . +Awesome ! I'm in heaven . Let me help . They're so easy . +I know . You just add milk , eggs and a little oil to the baking mix and stir ... +And then you just pour the batter into the waffle iron ... +Allow me to introduce my self.My name is Jack Black , manager of the company . +How do you do , Mr.Black ? Very happy to see you . +Pleasure is mine.Here ' s my card . +Thank you , This is mine . +The May holiday is coming up soon . Are you planning on going on vacation ? +I am . I just went to the travel agent ’ s and picked up these brochures . +Where are you planning on going ? +I fancy going to Tibet for a few days . Have you ever been there ? +I went a long time ago , before they built the new train that can take you there . +Would you recommend going there for a few days ? +Personally , I think it ’ d be better to go when you have more time . A few days isn ’ t really enough to get acclimatize yourself and to go on a few excursions outside of the capital . +You ’ re probably right . What do you think about Yangshao ? +It ’ s a beautiful city , but I think it ’ s become too touristy . How about going to a cosmopolitan city like Shanghai or Hong Kong ? +I ’ d like to get away from the big city life . +Maybe you should consider going to a hot springs resort outside of Beijing . I heard they are very relaxing . +I guess if I only have a few days , I should probably think about going somewhere that isn ’ t so far away . +Since the May holiday is the high season , you should probably call ahead to reserve a room . Here ’ s the phone number . +Thanks , I ’ ll give them a call later . +Do you want to practice your driving right now ? +No problem . We can do it right now . +Are you buckled up ? +All right . Now what do I do ? +Start the car . +Which way do you want me to go ? +Take a left . +How far do you want me to go ? +I'll tell you when to stop . +Just make sure to tell me beforehand . +We're back now , so why don't you try parking ? +Well , that was fun . Let's do it again soon . +Jack , do say good-bye for me to the host . I've got to run . +Why are you in such a hurry ? +My old man does not allow me to go back later than 11 p . m . Bye ! +Bye ! +Oh , hey , Keri ! You cook , right ! You're a pretty good cook . +I'm OK . +OK . I want to make an omelet , so actually this is really silly , I've never made one before . How do you make an omelet ? +OK , Well , I can teach you how I make them , which is the same way my father and grandmother make them , which is a little special . +OK . Yeah ! Yeah ! +First you take some eggs and crack them in a bowl , and whisk them up , quite , so they're quite high and fluffy , and in a hot pan , and you need a pan that's that's kind of small , that the sides go up at an angle . You put some oil and heat it up , so it's quite hot , and then you take your whipped up eggs , or whisked up eggs , and pour them into the pan , and as it's cooking , if you take a spatula , and push the bottom layer of the egg , to the side , to the sides , and then to the middle , so the uncooked egg gets to the bottom of the pan . +Oh , OK . Wow ! +OK . And keep doing that until most of the egg is cooked so you should have a nice thick omelet and then flip it over , you'll only have to cook that side lightly . Put your fillings on the top and fold it over and let it sit just long enough to melt the cheese . +Wow . That sounds really good . +Mm , it is . +Wow . What fillings do you recommend ? +Um , well , if you want to do a real simple one , you can just use some pre-made salsa and cheese , and that's easy , or you can do something like cut up some ham and cheese , onions , tomatoes , mushrooms , anything that you like . If you want to make a spinach omelet then you have to add the cooked spinach to the egg mixture . So it's actually cooked in it . It's inside bacon and sour cream is nice and Jack cheese . +Hi there ! I am looking for a new car . I have this old Ford Pinto that I would like to trade in . +I see . You are in luck this month because all of our models are on sale ! it is a perfect time to buy a new car since it ’ s the end of the year . +Perfect ! I like this one . +That is the Ford Focus .

How many miles to the gallon ? +It is a very fuel efficient vehicle giving you about 34 miles in the city and 40 on the highway . +That is really convenient .

How many of them are over fifty ? +6 . So we should give them special attention . Some of them don't have a good health . +OK , I see . As far as you think , how many buses should we get for them ? +2 should be enough , for each one has at least 30 seats . There will be some seats to spare . +I'll call the bus charter later . And have you announced the itinerary of this journey to all of them ? +Yes , most of them think it's good . But , some people have different opinions . They consider we should arrange some challenging activities . +That's possible . At that time , they can choose any activity they like . +That's good . I'll tell them later .

Pills for carsick , traditional medicine for cold , some painkillers and something like that . +OK , we should get them ready this afternoon . +One more thing , have you got all people's phone numbers ? +Oh , God . I've almost forgotten . I'll get it done right away . +Could you baby-sit for me tonight ? +I'd be glad to . +Our dinner is ready . +What do we have for the dinner now ? +Potatoes , tomatoes and cucumber . +Do you feed rabbits ? +It is said that greens can improve our metabolism . In addition , I want to keep fit . +Where is my favorite white bread ? Is it in refrigerator ? +I didn't buy any of it at all . Most health food are good for you , but don't taste good . +Do you prepare some dessert for me ? +I am clear about your sweet tooth , so I made a mixed fruit dish for you . +Are you trying to change our eating patterns ? +Look , the printer isn ’ t functioning well . I ’ Ve pushed the start button . It is suppose to be working now but it remains like a log . What ’ s going on ? +Let me check . It has a paper jam . +I didn ’ t pay attention to that . I will try to get the paper out . +Be careful , the cartridge can be very hot . +Good afternoon , sir . Please sit here . +A haircut and a shave , please . +How would you like your hair cut , sir ? +Short on both sides . Not so much off at the back . +Very well , sir .

Your goods are all far above standard quality . +We spend a lot of money to make sure that our quality is much better .

We can start the negotiations as soon as you want . +Great , I'm glad we'll be able to do business together . I'll have some quotations ready for you by tomorrow morning . +Fine . As well , would you mind if I asked to see the Loyd's surveyor report of your products ? I may have a few more questions about your quality analysis . +sorry , Brad . But you are going to have to re-do this . +What ’ s the problem , Ms . Murphy ? +It ’ s badly organized . I can ’ t present this to the board . +I ’ m sorry . Ms . Murphy . I ’ ll re-work it . Can I give it back to you this afternoon ? +Hello , you seem a little lost . Can I help you ? +I've got a Remittance Advice and I'd like to cash it . +I can do that for you . Could I see the Remittance slip ? +Here you are . I'm here on business and this is from my boss , it's for my expenses so I need cash . +That's no problem . The amount is 2,000 RIB , is that correct ? +Yes , that's right . +I just need to see some identification before I hand over the cash . +Here's my passport . Is that OK ? +We'd like to welcome everyone to the Michelson Tools factory site , and thank everyone for being here today . My name is Paul Shafer , I'll be showing you around today . Please feel free to ask questions at any point during our tour , I'll be happy to answer questions for you . +Is it really necessary to wear all this protective gear ? +That's an excellent question . I'll bet your wondering why we ask you to wear hard hats and safety googles while you's in the plant . The reason is simple , we care about your safety and we want to ensure there are no injuries today . As you will see , to maintain a high level of safety , we also require all of our staff to wear similar protective gear . +How long will the tour take ? +It should take about twenty minutes to go through the main plant , and maybe another ten to take a look at the laboratory . All together our tour should last about half an hour . +Okay ... +Well , if you don't have any questions , shall we get started ? If you'll follow me , first I'll take you to the site of our semi-conductor system ... +I can drink ten cups in fifteen minutes . I ’ m sure . +You ? You are full of hot air . +Did you promise me to get the bread ? +Well , I remember walking pass the baker shop . +But you forgot to get the bread . +I'm afraid so .

That's not enough . I've got some cereal . +Can we talk about the working overtime issue ? What ’ s on your mind ? +Yes , sure . To be honest , nobody would like to work overtime . However , we have to if it is necessary for our company . I would do that if it is the call of duty . +Glad to hear that . Generally , it is 2 to 3 hours more than your working hours . +OK , I completely understand . +Hello , can I speak to Mr.Green ? +Yes , speaking . +This is Steven speaking . I'd like to buy a stock . +What stock do you want to buy and how many ? +I'd like to buy 1 000 shares of Duson . +Let me get the asking price of the stock . Just a moment . Oh , now the asking price is $ 90 each share . By the way , what is the offering price ? +Let me see . The offering price is near or at $ 88 . +Then the difference between the asking price and the offering price is $ 2 . It's hard to take place today . +Do you mean that I have to buy it at current price ? +You can decide by yourself . +I heard that this stock would go up . Hum , I will take it at current price . +So , now I will buy you . Are you sure ? +Yes , please . +Credit Services , how can I help you ? +I'd like to apply for a credit card with you . +Would that be our standard card , our gold card , or our platinum card ? +Oh , I'm not sure . What's the difference ? +Well , the standard card has a lower credit limit , that's 20,000 RIB , whereas with the platinum card you can have a credit limit of 80,000 RIB . +Why such a big difference ? +It's all about credit rating and salary . If your credit rating and your salary are high enough , we can offer you the platinum card . +My salary is pretty high and I've never had a problem with my credit rating in the past . Are there any perks of the platinum card ? +Yes , we have contracts with various luxury shops and health clubs , where if you use the card to purchase items from them , you can get some healthy discounts . +That's great ; my health club membership is about to expire . +Can I help you ? +Is This where I pay the airport tax ? +Yes , sir . Just as the sign says . How many ? +I'm sorry , but I've never done this before . How many what ? +How many people are you paying the tax for ? +My wife and me . The two of us . +100 yuan each , so you owe me 200 yuan . +Oh , OK . Here's 200 yuan . +Here are your two receipts . +Thanks . What shall I do then ? +Just give these receipts to the lady at the door to immigration . Don't worry , she'll ask for them from you . +Oh , I guess I'm a little confused . +We are all the same the first time we travel overseas . You guys have a nice trip . +Thanks a lot . +Hello ! So , you're back . Do you have everything with you ? +I think so . +We will need detailed information regarding the full name of the company , the company address ... +Yes , yes . I've got all of that here . +And also , the bank and branch name the company holds an account with and the account number . +Check , check and check . +What's the purpose for this check ? Would you like to know its repayment capacity ? +Yes , that's one of the main things we are interested in . When do you think I can get hold of this report ? +As it's confidential there is a certain amount of red tape , but it shouldn't take too long . There is , of course a service fee of 300 RIB to be paid . +No problem , I'll settle that now . You can take it from my Business Account . +Good morning , and welcome to Live Tech .

Seeing is believing . +Sure , Just push the button , like ... +I think I can figure this out . Let's see if this works as advertised . Say ' cheese ! ' +I think you will find these are the best digital cameras on the market today . +I think the quality of the photos will speak for themselves . +Excuse me . I am looking for a book called Little Women , but I can't find it anywhere . +Let me see . I am sorry we just have sold it out . +Will you have it later ? +I think so . Could I have you name , telephone number ? If we get one , I will call you . +That's terrific . Thank you . +Mom , I'm ready for school . +Let me feel your forehead .

It's delicious . +I'm fine , Mom . I feel so much better . I want to go to school . I'm missing out on all the fun . +But the last two days were a weekend . +Let me go to school , please ! I'm sick of medicine , sick of soup , and sick of being sick ! +How can I get to Lakeside Park ? +Take the No . 7 bus . There's a bus stop just over there . +Will it take me straight there ? +Yes .

Do you have this coat in yellow ? +Yes , I will find one for you . Here you are . It's made of exceptionally good quality , pure wool , and is very soft . +It looks nice . +Yeah , this is the latest model.If you like it , you can try it on . +good afternoon , madam .

It's a tour to the White House . +Well , I have just missed the place . How long does the tour take ? +2 hours . You won't get late for your train . +I hope so . +I have found it quite different here from China since I came to the United States . +What's the difference ? +Some friends of mine took me to the mall to go shopping . It was so big . I think I could get lost if I went there alone . +You must have bought many things in the mall ? +Not really many . I was told that on weekends there were always the flea markets , so I decided to come to the flea market to buy a bargain . +It's wise to do it . The Americans have the habit of selling their junk when they are moving to another place , so they usually display all the things they want to sell in their gardens at the weekend . And many things they are selling still look quite new and they are also very useful . +I have heard about it while in China . it is called a " yard sale " . I didn't have any idea of that until today when I came here to the big " yard sale " . +You must have got many useful things for your new apartment . +Okay , here's the lease . Read it over before you sign it . As you can see , the deposit is $ 300 . +Oh , okay . I can get it back when I move out , right ? +Yes , assuming there's been no damage to the apartment . Before you move in , you can make a list of any marks , scratches , and so forth that are already there . +All right . Here's the lease and the check for the deposit . +Great . You can move in next Monday . Your first month's rent is due then . +May I see that ivory horse ? +Of course . +It's genuine , I bet . +It's made of genuine ivory , besides , it's of exquisite workmanship . The price is marked 200 yuan . +I'll take it . +Congratulations ! I heard that you are going to take a two-week training course in the headquarter . +Thank you . I am very happy to have this opportunity to learn something new . You know information and knowledge in this field update very fast . +Sure it is . This is a changing world . Does the training course cover the new law and regulation issued last month ? They are very useful for us . +Yes , according to the agenda , there will be a seminar on these issues at the very beginning of the training course . +Well , good for you . I hope you can get what you want from the training . +I will do my best . +George , did you remember to buy me the book ? +Sorry , darling , I forgot . +When will you buy it then ? +I promise you'll have it tomorrow . +What can I do for you ? +I want to get my car washed . +Would you like regular car wash package ? +I don't know what you mean . +Well , we will wash the exterior form top to bottom . We use a special shampoo , which gives the body that extra shine . +Do you wash windows ? +Of course . We wash the windows inside and out . +What about the interior ? +We use a vacuum cleaner that removes all the dirt , and we throw away all of the trash that we can find . +Sounds good , regular car wash package will be OK . +OK . I see . +Have you been taken care of ? +Not yet . I am looking for a black suitcase . +Is there any special brand you'd like ? +Yes . I would prefer Nike . +The franchised store is on the second floor . +Thank you . +Do you want some dessert ? +No thanks . We just need our check . Have you seen the waitress ? +Oh , here comes our waitress with our check . +The service here has been really great , don't you think ? +Yes , the service was quite good . +So , let's look at the check . The total is $ 36.00 . +How much do you think we should leave for a tip ? +Usually people leave 15 % , but this was exceptional service . I am thinking that maybe 20 % would be appropriate . +I agree that 20 % would be just about right . +OK , so that will bring her tip to $ 7.20 . Add it to the $ 36.00 and the total is $ 43.20 . +Yes , what a nice dinner that was ! +We'll have to make sure to come back here again real soon . +Taxi ! Taxi ! Could you help me load these luggage in the trunk ? +Let me just park my car in a better position . Alright , miss . Where ’ s the luggage ? +Over there . +where are you going , Jane ? +I'm going to the hospital to see Susan . +I saw her yesterday . She was a little better . +Must I catch a number 7 bus to get there ? +No , you needn't . A number 13 bus will also take you to the hospital . +Number 13 buses run much more frequently , don't they ? +Yes . I caught a number 7 bus yesterday , and they said I had taken a wrong bus . +Thank you , Henry . I'll get a number 13 . +But number 13 buses leave from the center of town . You'll have to walk two miles to catch one . +Excuse me , Don ? I hate to bother you , but I need your help on something . Do you have time to brief me on the Martin account today ? +Oh , that's right . You are supposed to deliver a brief on that account tomorrow . I know there are some things I need to share with you about that . But , gosh , I don't know ... Things are really busy for me today , the only time I can manage to squeeze out might be over lunch break ... +I hate to make you work through your lunch break with how busy you are ... +It's okay ... I've already had several days in a row working through lunch ... +How about this ... We can make it a working lunch this afternoon , and I'll order some Chinese food for delivery . It'll be my treat . +You don't have to do that ... +I insist . I really appreciate you taking time to work with me in . What is your favorite fast food ? I'll cater to your taste . +Actually I do like Chinese ... Let's make it a date for Chop Suey and the Martin account at about twelve thirty . Does that sound good ? +Great . I'll bring the food . +Can I make a reservation ? +Yes , sir . For what time ? +7 o'clock tonight and there will be 5 persons . +OK , sir . Five persons at 7:00 . +Do you have a VIP room ? +Sorry , sir . We have only tables in the main dinning room left . +Please point out the painful place with your finger . Is there any relation between the pain and the weather ? +Yes , the pain comes more intense when the weather is bad . And the pain comes intense when I walk too much . +Have you ever had any trauma ? +Yes , I have . +Does the pian become more intense at night ? +Yes , ti does . Just like a needle prick . Besides , the place that hurts often feels cold , too . +Do you have the sensation of ants crawling over the painful part ? +Yes , I do . +I'd like to treat you with acupuncture if you agree . +By the way , does acupuncture hurt ? +Acupuncture may cause just a little pain , but it also causes a certain feeling of numbness and distension . We'll try it every day for seven days . Will that be all right ? +Yes . Let's start today . +Hello . This is Lucy from ABC Company . Is this Monica ? +Yes . +I am calling to inform you that you have passed the first two rounds of interview . Could you please come for the final round ? It is scheduled on the morning of next Monday 10AM in the HR manager office . +Thank you for calling me . I will be there on time . +Ok , see you then , bye . +Bye . +May I help you ? +Yes . I would like to go to New York for my Christmas vacation . +How long do you have ? +1 week . Would you recommend me scenic spots to see there ? +New York is full of place of interest , such as Times Square , Broadway , Wall street and Ground Zero and Statue of Liberty . +That's fantastic . +Excuse me , could you tell me which bus I should take to go to the railway station ? +I think you'd better take the No . 16 bus . It can take you right there . +How often dose this bus go there ? +Every fifteen minutes . +I really can't wait that long . Are there any other buses that can take me there ? +The No . 2 bus also goes to the railway station . You may take it . +Where can I find the bus ? +The bus stop is not far from here . Go straight on and you can easily find it . +Thanks a lot . +You are welcome . +Hello , miss . Check out please . +OK , may I have your key ? +Sure , here you are . +Was everything satisfactory ? +Yes . I enjoy my stay here . +You have stayed here for 3 nights , that's $ 230 . +Here is the money . +No , it hasn't . It's very dirty . +Someone ought to clean it today . +Mark should clean it . It's his turn . +No , he cleaned it last time . It's your turn . +No , it isn't . You always clean it after Mark . +Oh dear , is it really my turn ? In that case , I'll clean tomorrow . +Clean it now . Only lazy people say they'll work tomorrow . +Then I'll clean it the day after tomorrow . +You are lazy . You ought to be ashamed ? You should enjoy working . +Good evening , ma'am . Table for one ? +Yes , please . +Will this table be all right ? +Actually , I'd like a booth by the window if that's possible . +Certainly . How about this one ? +This will be fine , thanks . +( Handing her a menu ) Your waiter will be here in a minute to take your order . +Thank you . +You're right . Watching movies at home is way cheaper than going to the theater , too . I like downloading movies too because it's easy and fast . +I agree . And it's very convenient . +Have you ever heard of a movie rental company called Netflix ? They send the movies directly to your house in the mail . +Really ? That's great ! I'm going to try that next time . +Yeah , but I wish they delivered video games too . Then I would never leave my house ! +Can you tell me what happened here ? +Yes . I had a bad traffic accident.Look , my car looks like a squashed coke can . +Did you see the car before it hit you ? +No , I didn't . That car was too fast . +Which lane were you in ? +I don't remember . +What was your speed then ? +40 miles per hour . +Which direction were you coming from ? And which direction were you going ? +Just straight . +OK , please move your vehicle off to the side of the road . We will check on it . Do you feel like you need an ambulance , Miss ? +No , I didn't get hurt . Thanks for your concern . +No problem , Miss . +Good morning , Mr . Chu . Would you like me to brief your schedule for today ? +Yes . +You are scheduled to meet Mr . Thompson of ABC Company at eleven this morning . Then , you have a lunch appointment with Mr . Li . And this afternoon at four you will attend a press conference . +I am afraid I can't attend the press conference due to an urgent conference with the Board of Directors at half past four . +All right . Do you want me to cancel the reservation for you ? +Yes , thank you very much . In addition , do you have the marketing proposal ready ? +The proposal is being repaired right now and I think it will be ready by tomorrow morning . +This shirt is really nice . +You have a very good taste , sir . Would you like to try it on ? +OK . I'll try on a medium size . +Here you are +Where is the fitting room ? +It's just around the comer . +It's too big tor me . Do you have a smaller one ? +Yes . One moment , please . +Can I help you ? +Yes , I need to buy a computer for this semester . I was told it is cheaper to buy computers here . +Well , you heard right . You can get an excellent deal on a new computer here . We have great discounts for students . +I don't know much about computers . But I know I want a desktop computer with a lot of memory . And I need a printer . +Well , first let's consider your computer . Here , for example , is a system I highly recommend-the Power Macintosh G3 . it comes with 64 megabytes of total memory . +Is that a lot ? Sixty-four ? +Yes , it is . It should be enough for any student needs you might have . What department are you in ? +History . +Well , so you will mostly be using word processing , for writing papers . I recommend the Corel Word Perfect program for word processing . We can talk about software later . Let's talk about your hardware first . We have a special deal on right now . I should tell you about it , as it only goes until next Tuesday . If you buy one of these fifteen-inch color monitors with a Power Macintosh G3 , you can actually get 30 percent off the usual sale price . +Thirty percent ? +Yes . +Wow . That's really good . And you think this is really a good system for a graduate student ? +Yes . It's an excellent system . +Hmm . Hey , wait . This has an Apple on it . Is this an Apple computer ? +Yes , it's a Macintosh . It's Apple . Mcintosh and Apple are the same thing . +I don't want Macintosh . I want PC . +I'm sorry , but our university computer center only sells Macintosh equipment . +What ? Are you serious ? +Yes . +But nobody uses Macintosh ! +That's not true . Most of the students and professors in the university here use Macintosh . They find it is better for writing and word-processing , and that is what students mostly do . May I ask where you're from ? +Yes , I'm from Taiwan . +Well , I know that in most Asian countries Apple is not very popular . But here in America , especially in universities and publishing companies , Apple is very commonly used . +But I need a computer that can handle writing in Chinese . +There are several Chinese writing programs you can use with Macintosh . Chinese is no problem for Apple . +Hmm . I think I should ask some of my friends for advice before I make a decision . I'm sorry . +No , don't be sorry . It's reasonable to ask your friends . But believe me , most of the students here in the university-Asian students included-most of them use Apple . +Well , thanks for your advice . I will probably come back later . +You're very welcome . Here is my card , if you need any help . +Did you find everything ok today ? +Yes , I did . By the way , in case there is a flaw in this CD player , can I return it ? +Yes . But you must return it within 30 days . +Is there a charge for that . I know other stores have a restocking fee . +There will be no charge at all . However you must show us the receipt . Could you sign it here , please ? +Thank you . +All right . Keep you receipt . If something comes up , you can show it to us and we will give you a refund . +Thanks . I'll put it in a safe place . +Excuse me , here is my claim tag , but I can't find my baggage . +How many pieces of baggage have you lost ? +Just one piece . +Can you tell me the features of your baggage ? +It's a big leather suitcase with my name ' Lily ' on it . +Don't worry . We will look it for you right now . +Thank you . +What kind of jobs have you had ? +I worked as a personnel manager in a state-owned company , and then I transferred to joint venture as a sales manager . So I am familiar with the food market in China . +How did your previous employers treat you ? +They treated me very well . We cooperated harmoniously and respected each other . +What have you learned from the jobs your have had ? +I have learned some skills about how to deal with clients and how to behave myself as a personnel manager . +When you worked in your previous company , which did you prefer , working with other people or by yourself ? +I preferred working with other colleagues when I worked in my previous company . I think teamwork and cooperation are very important . No matter how competent he or she is in a company , he can ’ t do without them . +My name is Steven Smith and I'm calling to cancel my plane ticket . +When was your reservation ? +It ’ s 7 p . m . today . +Would you mind telling me the reason ? +I need to continue to deal with my business . I haven ’ t finished it yet . +Oh , I see . Would you like me to reschedule you for another time ? +No . Thank you . +But you have to pay the fee for refund . +OK . I will pay it by my bank card . +Excuse me . Can I get a ticket on the next flight to Frankfurt ? +Sure.It will depart 2 hours later . +What's the fare for a single ticket ? +That's $ 150 . +Can you give me a special offer ? +Of course.Right now it is the slack season , we will give you ten percent off . +How about a round trip ? Could you offer us something more ? +I am sorry , there is no difference . +Hi . How can I help you ? +I ’ m looking for a job . Are you hiring ? +Yes , we are . What position are you looking for ? +Superintendent . +I ’ m sorry . The application for this position has closed . +Do you have any other positions available ? +We have only one position open . +What is it ? +Gas Meter Reader . This is a wonderful job for the right person , regular hours , no night shifts , no supervisor behind you , and good pay . +Can I apply for it right now ? +Sure . +Did you hear about that accident on the 5 ? There was a sixty-two-car pile up . +No kidding ! When did that happen ? +Early this morning . +Oh , no . +Yeah . And a semi jack-knifed trying to miss a stalled car in the fast lane . You can imagine what happened after that . +Sixty two cars . Oath . Do they know how many casualties yet ? +The count is up to seven right now and several are in critical condition . +That's amazingly low for such a huge accident ! +Are you OK there ? +Oh , my computer crashed again ! +Can I help ? +That would be great ! I hate working with computers ! +Year ! They are unreliable sometimes . +Ah ! It hurts . Don't touch it . +What part hurts ? +The shoulder . +Well , maybe you broke it . But what I'm worried about is this cut . +It's not a cut . It's a gash ! It's bigger than a cut ! Ah ! I need a doctor . +C'mon . Just don't move . +I'm bleeding too much . +We don't have a decent First Aid Kit , do we ? +Yes . My bike has one under the seat . Get it , quick ! +There's some tape , iodine , and cloth bandages . I don't think the cloth bandages can stop the bleeding . What we need is a tourniquet . +Wrap a few loops of the bandages around my upper arm , then twist.That will work as a tourniquet.After that , you can cut more of the bandages to cover the wound . +Good plan . Let me put some iodine on the cut . +No , forget that ! Do the tourniquet first . I'm losing too much blood . +Alright , alright . How did you cut this so bad ? +I ran it against that fence pole as I crashed . What do you think ? Damn , it hurts ! +We'll have to get you to a hospital . I can ride you on the back of my bike . +I'm lucky I wasn't killed . I must have been going around forty-five miles an hour.There was too much gravel on that corner . I slid out . +Yes , I almost slid too.Alright . This tourniquet is tight . How does it feel ? +Make it tighter . I want the blood stopped.Then wrap some bandages around the cut . Then we can go . Ouch ! I hope I can walk . +Alright , I'm twisting it around . You tell me when to stop . +There . Stop ! +Excuse me sir.May I come in ? +Mike , you're late again . +I'm sorry , but my sister was ill , so I +Do you think I believe the story like that ? +But it's true . +How can believe it if the same excuse was used twice within a week ? +That's coincidence 。 +Ok , hold it . Remember to be punctual next time 。 +I promise I will . +You'd better . +What's combined transportation ? +If the goods are to be transshipped from one means of transportation to another during the course of the entire voyage , it's called ' combined transportation ' . +Why is it necessary ? +It's simpler and cheaper to arrange multi-model combined transportation . +So , tell me , what makes you think we should give you a raise ? +I've got several good reasons . I've been here several years , my work has proven to be good , and I've noticed that people in comparable jobs get paid more than I do . +Salaries are confidential , how do you know how much money these " other people " make ? +Well , I've noticed all the new cars around here , for one thing . +Those are company cars provided to the sales staff for their business trips . Also , some employees receive sales commissions . So good salesmen will naturally earn more . +That's understandable . Well , rather than comparing my salary with someone else's , perhaps we could talk about my job performance . Surely you've noticed the extra hours I've put in recently ? +I see your point . However , it might be hard to get a raise approved . Profits were down last quarter , and the whole company is tightening its belt , so anything that affects the annual budget +That would be very good of you , Mr . White . +Waiter , can you come here for a moment ? +Yes , is there something wrong ? +I'm afraid you've made a mistake . This isn't what I ordered . +So sorry , I must have confused the orders . I'll check it . +And also this soup is cold . +I'm really sorry , I'll bring you a hot one right away . +I have been looking at this online catalog for over an hour and I still haven ’ t finished getting all the kitchen appliances that we need ! +What are you getting ? +Well , the first thing on my list is a new blender . I decided to also get a juicer and a new coffee maker . +Don ’ t forget to also get a new mixer . I lent the old one to my brother and he broke it . +Yeah I know . I also decided to throw away the old toaster and get a new one . I am also getting a rice cooker and steamer to make some nice steamed fish or veggies . +I ’ m actually thinking of completely refurnishing the kitchen and getting a new stove , oven , dishwasher and trash compacter . +That ’ s a good idea ! The kitchen will look amazing ! +Do you need any help ? +I need some help catching up . Are you good at typing or could you help me xerox ? +I like xeroxing . +Thank you ! There are papers on the table to start with . +OK , I will get right to that . +I really appreciate the help . How many years have you been with the company ? +I just started working here . +I have a special assignment coming up . Would you be interested in helping me on it ? +I'd like to , but I am very busy . +I'll make sure that management keeps you in mind for special projects in the future . Thanks for the help ! +Personal Loans , how may I help ? +I'm going to be studying overseas next year and I'd like some info about suitable loans . To be honest , I'm not even sure if I can get a loan . +Not a problem . We offer a Personal Loan for Studying Abroad for anyone who's studying overseas , regardless of the circumstances . Anyone is eligible to apply +Would I have to get my parents to guarantor the loan ? +Not exactly . Our policy states that the loange could be the person studying abroad , for example , you , or your direct relative or spouse . +I see . What about age limitations ? +There are no age limitations as such just that the loange should be below 55 years and of course , old enough to get a loan , meaning over 18 years of age . +Got it ! I fit into that category very nicely . That's great ! I'll have a chat with my parents and come back . Thanks very much . +Did you know that drinking beer helps you sing better ? +Are you sure ? How do you know ? +Well , usually people think I'm a terrible singer , but after we all have a few beers , they say I sound a lot better ! +Well , I heard that if you drink enough beer , you can speak foreign languages better ... +Then after a few beers , you'll be singing in Taiwanese ? +Maybe ... +Hello , how can I help ? +Hello there . I need to buy some foreign currency for a business trip . How much can I exchange ? +That does depend on where you plan to travel . If you are planning to travel to Hong Kong or Macao we can exchange up to 1,000 USD for you . If your destination is elsewhere , we can exchange up to 2,000 USD . +OK , well , I'm going to Europe . I guess 1,000 USD will be sufficient for now . +OK , I'll process that for you now . +What ’ s wrong ? +I got laid off today . +Oh no ! That ’ s terrible ! +Yeah . +What happened ? +My boss said I didn ’ t have enough skills to do the job well . +What are you going to do ? +I ’ m going to start taking classes at the local community college to try to improve my skills . Then I ’ ll start looking for a new position . +Hello . miss . I am wondering if there is a meal served on this flight . +Well , it's a short distance flight , so we don't serve meals . But there are some drinks . +Well , I would like a glass of warm water . +You have an unusual accent , Mr . Robbins . Where are you from originally ? If you don ’ t mind me asking . +Not at all . I was born in Madrid , but I came to the States when I was a teenager . +I guess that must be what I ’ m hearing , I really couldn ’ t place it . Do go back to Madrid often ? +No , I haven ’ t been back for more than ten years . +Good morning , Madam ! Can I help you ? +Well , I'd like to buy a watch . +Oh , look at these two watches , aren't they lovely ? +Yeah . But I think I'd prefer ... +How about this one ? It's graceful in style . +Mm , yes , but I think I like that one better . It's made of gold , isn't it ? +Sure . +How much is it ? +500 dollars , Madam . +I wonder if it keeps good time . +Surely . As this is the latest model , and you can also set the alarm . +How do I set it ? +Just do like this.Very simple . +All right . this suits my taste best . I'II take It . +Excuse me , what time do you expect to land in Berlin ? +We should be there by 5 this afternoon . +Do you have any idea how long it will take to clean customs ? +Well , it all depends on traffic from other arriving aircraft . +Where did you work as a teacher before ? +I taught English in a primary school in Beijing . +What teaching experience have you had ? +I am equipped with much experience in teaching for more than 30 years and I also edit teaching materials by myself . +Do you have wake-up service ? +Yes.You can use the computer to seta tima.Dial 10 and then time.For example.if you want to get up at 7:15 , you can dial 100715 . +OK . I understand . +Or we can call you tomorrow coming . +Well , I would prefer you to call me up tomorrow at 6:30 +No problem . Good night . +Excuse me , Is this the bus I should take to get to the Central Park ? +Yes . But you have to transfer to Bus No . 28 . +Where should I change for the Park ? +At Tinge Depot . +But I don't know which stop is Tinge Depot . +I will remind you to get off . +Thank you . +My pleasure . +Front Desk , may I help you ? +Yes , I'd like to move to another room . +Is there anything uncomfortable in your room ? +Yes . The air-conditioner in this room doesn't work . +May I have your room number , sir ? +Wang Wei . Room 1212 . +OK . Mr . Wang , may I send a room attendant to check it for you first ? +All right . +( 15 minutes later ) Mr . Wang , we are deeply sorry for the inconvenience . The maintenance might last for a long time , may I offer you another room ? +Yes . No problem . +Mary , you have found several companies that are hiring , right ? +Yes , I have found three companies . +Have you called to inquire about the positions ? +Yes , but the results are not so satisfying . +What's the matter ? +I asked the first company about the vacancy , but they had already hired someone . +What a pity ! +The second one told me that the job information was released half a year ago , and had been overdue . +It's frustrating ! +The last company is still hiring , but not recent graduates . +Wonder why they do that ! +I feel terrible now . +Don't be discouraged . Just keep trying and you will find a job eventually . +Thanks for your support and care . +Well , this is certainly a nice place , Mr . Taylor . What sort of public transportation is nearby ? +Please , call my John . Well , there ’ s a subway stop and bus station just around the corner . Do you have children ? +Yes , two . +Well , in that case , the schools in this area are very good . +We send our kids to private school , but that ’ s good to know too . +Oh , well . As far as other conveniences in the neighborhood , there ’ s a grocery store just up the block , and there ’ s lots of little shops nearby . +Great .

Oh , I almost forget that we need a microwave oven badly . What kind of tea do you prefer ? Green tea or flower tea ? +Let's just get both . Do you bring enough money ? +We don ’ t have enough cash , but I ’ ll take my credit card . +Hi , Jane . How are you doing this morning ? +I ’ m all right , thanks .

First , I'm sure that there will be more opportunities for advancement If I enter your enterprise . Secondly , I'd like to acquaint myself with American culture if possible . +Well , Mr . Zhang , you must know , what we need is a capable accountant , and we won't have enough time to tell him some other things . +Yes , madam . I know that I'll be expected , first of all , to work hard if I'm hired . +Are you ready to order now , sir ? +Yes , please . +What would you like to have for your appetizer , sir ? +I would like vegetable soup , please +And what would you like to have for the main course +Shrimp salad . And what kind of pie do you have ? +Apple , banana and strawberry pie . +Then a piece of apple pie , please . +And what would you like for dessert ? +Icecream , please . +What flavor would you like ? +orange +Thank you . I'll bring your order right away . +Waiter , the meat is overdone . +I am sorry you don't like it , sir . But that's just the special point of the dish . +Is it ? +Yes , hope you can enjoy it . +Welcome to our bar ! +What kind of wine do you offer ? +Here is the wine list . +Thanks . +What would you like ? +What do you recommend ? +What about cocktail ? +I'd like to try something typically Chinese . +I recommend Mao Tai , it's the best liquor in China . +OK . Let me try it . +Here you are , sir . +Thank you . +Johnny , are you just sitting around again ? +I'm just taking a break between washing the windows and cleaning the toilet . +I'd say all you've done is moved the dirt from the windows on to your face and hands . Disgraceful ! +I'm doing my best , Grandma ... +Your best isn't good enough . Back in my day , I'd clean a whole hospital with a toothbrush and spit , and it'd be twice as clean as this sty ! +Uh-oh , here we go ... +Have you been feeling OK lately ? +My coach wants you to check my blood pressure . +Has anyone ever told you that you had high blood pressure ? +I don ’ t have any symptoms of high blood pressure . +People with high blood pressure seldom know they have it , which is why we call it the silent killer . +What test do you do for high blood pressure ? +We will pump air into this cuff to get a reading . +When you get the reading , what information does it give you ? +It tells me how hard your heart pumps blood and how much your arteries relax at rest . +I am hoping that this test goes well for me . +Hello , sir . Can I help you ? +Yes . I ’ m looking for a winter jacket . +What size are you looking for ? +A medium is fine for me . +How about this one ? +I don ’ t like the color . +What color do you like ? +Blue . +How about that one ? +Yes .

What can I eat ? +There's a little bread and there are a few biscuits . +But I want some rice and some meat . +All right , I'll walk to the village and I'll get some meat . +Good . By the way , who's going to cook the meat ? +You'll cook it of course ! +Have you read the new rules about using cell phone at work ? +Yes , not bad . Like turn your cell phone ringer off and find a private place to make calls which it ’ s showing your respect to your co-workers . +Well , but for this one , don ’ t bring your cell phone to meetings , I think it is not reasonable . What if there are some important calls ? +Well , this one is not compulsory . It is just suggestion . +I didn ’ t pay attention to that . +What would you like for dessert , sir ? We have a choice of cake or ice cream . +No , thank you . I don't need any .

OK ? +Yes , I can do that . +Now you have to fill in the hours in the blanks and total the hours for the week . Do you know how to use military time ? +No , I don't know what that is . +OK , so we just start counting hours at midnight and record it . Show all minutes as a dot and then write how many minutes . OK ? +Yes , I understand how to do this . +After you total your hours , make sure you sign it and turn it in to your supervisor . +That was easy ! +Good luck and let me know if you need any help later on . +May I help you , sir ? +Fill it up with regular , please . +Should I take a look at your battery ? +No , thanks . I'm in a hurry . +Your car is ready . +Good !

Have a seat please . +I would like to know the state of the residential property market right now because I have an apartment to sell . +Sure , here is my business card . I'm James Wilson . Let me explain to you how things are . In recent months , the demand for residential properties has become extremely high . The price of residential properly has risen almost twenty percent . +Really ? Since I have to go back to England within the next few months , I would like to sell my apartment as soon as possible . +Don't worry , sir . I think it's a seller's market right now . Let me get down some information about your apartment first . what is your property's address ? +Flat C . 15 / F , Tong House , Tai Koo Shing . +What is the square footage of your property ? How many bedrooms and living rooms ? +Its gross area is approximately nine hundred square feet . There's one living room , one dining room , one master bedroom and two other bedrooms . +What is the orientation and view ? +It faces south with a hillside view . +The market price for Tong House is around five thousand Hong Kong dollars per square foot , but it also depends on the internal layout and condition of the house . +I would like to ask for four point five million Hong Kong dollars . +May I have your name and contact number , Sir ? +Johnson , and my contact number is 2876543 2 . My office number is 2123456 7 . +Thank you , Mr . Johnson . May I ask you one more question ? When will your property become available ? +In about one month . +Also , Mr . Johnson , I would like to remind you my company will charge a commission equivalent to one percent of the transaction price in the event of a successful selling of the property through our introduction . +No problem . +Thank you very much . I will introduce your property to our clients . When they want to see your property , I will give you a call . +Thank you . +Which movie is your favorite to watch ? +I have to say , my favorite movie is Superbad . +Is that right ? Why ? +Honestly , it is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time . +You're right . That movie is hilarious . +I didn't think you saw that movie . +I went to see it the day it came out . +I was laughing through the whole movie . +I couldn't help laughing , either . +Same here . +I bought the movie . Would you like to come to my house and watch it ? +Of course . +Have you been taken of , miss ? +I am Looking for a T-shirt . +We have quite a variety of shirts here . +What kind of material is this ? +Silk . You have a good taste . It's excellent for its handiness , elegance and beauty . +Can I try it on ? +Good morning . I want to apply for a job in A your company as an assistant . Could you tell me the company address , please ? +OK . Do yon have a pen and a paper now ? +Yes , please . +Our company is in Pudding new area in Shanghai . +Are you being served , Sir ? +No , not yet . I just want to hair cut . +Would you sit here , please ? How would you like it cut ? +I want it short . +What , your short already , sir . +I mean very short . shorter than it ’ s now . +Should I just trim it ? +No . you can cut quite a bit off , I like it to be very short all over . You see what I mean . +Oh , I see . You like Chinese style , don ’ t you ? +Yes . And Chinese style . +Would you like to have some shampoo , sir ? +No , thank you . +How about oil or spray ? +No , Nothing will be kind . +There , how ’ s that ? +That ’ s very good . +Are there any interesting articles in today ’ s newspapers ? +The headlines are all about the presidential election in the united states . Few other stories made the front pages . +Is there anything of interest to us in the business sections ? +There ’ s an interesting feature article in the chronicle about doing business in china and the daily news has printed a report about the special economic zone near pairs . We have a subsidiary company located there . +Are the reports favorable ? +Generally , the reporters take positive lines . They do point out a few problems that we need to be aware of , but there ’ s nothing worrying in the reports . In the classifieds , one of our competitors is advertising for people who speak Japanese . +That ’ s interesting . They must be thinking of moving into that market . Are there any interesting editorials ? +Not really . They all seem to focus on the election . There have been several letters printed in the chronicle regarding that controversial article on drugs that they printed last week . +I ’ m not surprised . That article certainly added fuel to the debate . Ok . Thanks . Can you leave two articles and the advertisements with me ? I ’ d like to read them . +Sure . There you are . +I want to get some cable . +Do you know what package you want to get ? +What packages do you have ? +We have movie channel packages . +What else have you got ? +You can get the sports package . +Is there a package with basic and movie channels ? +We have that package . +Let me get that package . +Is there anything else you would like ? +That's everything , but can I add channels later ? +You will be able to add or get rid of channels another day . +Would you please wait this letter to see with the postages ? +Do you want to sent this letter by ordinary or registered mail ? +By ordinary airmail please . +Anything valuable in it ? +A post order for four hundred dollars . +In that case , you ’ d better have it registered . +Will I be informed that my friend gets the letter ? +Yes . When your friend gets it , he ’ ll sent the receipt which you send it by mail . then you can be sure he ’ s received . +All right . I have a registered then . +I think we should do the floors before we work on the curtains and walls . +Why ? it doesn't make sense . If we do the floors first , and then paint the walls , we will get paint all over our new floor . +Hmm Maybe you're right . But I can't stand all this green carpet here . And besides , I know how to paint . I will just cover everything with drop cloth . I won't get anything on the floor . +Are you sure ? +Yes , I'm sure I've done a lot of house painting in my life . And my mother was very picky . If I got even a tiny drop of paint on her furniture , she would get furious . So I learned to be very careful . +Alright . Then maybe we can do the floor first . These wood floors under this carpet are beautiful . And me too — — I can't wait to get all this old carpet out of here . But how can we get it out ? Do we have to hire someone ? +Absolutely not . We can remove the carpet ourselves . Carpet is held down with carpet nails . You just need to pull it hard and it will come up . +Great . Then , after we remove the carpet , we need to redo all the wood floors . Right ? +Yes . But we should hire someone for that . That will probably be expensive . And it has to be done right . +And then , after the floors are done , we can start to move our furniture in . +Sure . If we can get an appointment with someone to do the floors , we should probably be able to have the furniture in here after a week or so . I can get all the carpet out this weekend . +What are we going to eat for dinner ? +Whatever meal that you plan on making . +I thought you were making dinner tonight . +I do all the cooking . +Your food tastes so much better than mine . +Save it . If you want something to eat , then make it yourself . +You really want me to cook tonight ? +I had a long day today . I really am not in the mood to make anything . +No problem . +Thanks . I'm going to go take a nap . +Would you like me to come get you when the food is done ? +Thank you . +Jim , could you do me a favor ? +Sure , just ask . What can I do for you ? +My car has a problem starting . Could you please take a look at it for me ? +No sweat . It ’ s a piece of cake . +Are you sure ? +Absolutely . I ’ m a great mechanic . +Thanks for helping me out . I really appreciate it . +Anytime . +Personal Finance Department , Lucie speaking , how may I help ? +Hello there . I need some advice about personal finance . Could you help me please ? +That's no problem . What exactly would you like to know ? +Well , I've been very busy recently and I'm having trouble keeping up to date with everything , so I just wondered what exact service you offer . +We have a wonderful new service which provides a wide range of banking services , 24/7 , wherever you are . +That sounds perfect and just what I'm looking for . +What would you like to drink ? +I'd like a coke . +Forget about the coke . Let's drink some wine , shall we ? +Okay . +What would you prefer ? Red wine or white ? +Red . +Excuse me , could you tell me how to get to the Cross Bakery building ? +The Cross Bakery building ? Oh sure . You're actually walking in the opposite direction . +Oh , you're kidding ! I thought I was heading east . +No , east is the other direction . To get to the Bakery , you need to turn around and go three blocks to Broadway . When you get to the intersection of Broadway and Elm , you hang a left . Go straight down that street for half a block and then you'll see the building on your left . +Okay , let me see if I've got that . I need to go down Elm until I hit Broadway , then I make a left and the building is on my left hand side . Is that right ? +Yeah , you've got it . Do you want me to show you the way ? +Thanks for the offer , but I think I've got it . Hopefully , I won't get lost again on my way there ! +Could I speak to Mary , please ? +This is Mary speaking . Who is that ? +This is Bob . Where have you been , Mary ? I have been trying to get on to you for the last half hour . Don ’ t you leave your home at 7 +Yes , I do , but today I went shopping and have only just come back . It is very nice to hear your voice , Bob . I didn ’ t know you were in New York . +I arrived this morning . I would have rung you before but I have been terribly busy all day attending a conference . It has only just ended . Are you doing anything tonight , Mary ? +Yes , I am going to meet a client . +But that is terrible ! I am only here for one night ! +I am sorry , Bob . If you had told me you were coming up , I would have kept tonight free . But you didn ’ t tell me . +I didn ’ t know myself till this morning when my boss suddenly dashed into the office and told me to rush up here to attend the conference . +I thought Henry usually did the conferences . +Yes , he does but when he was driving up here last night he had an accident and was taken to hospital . So I am doing it instead . Mary , Must you go out tonight ? Couldn ’ t you get out of it ? +I ’ m free tomorrow but I suppose that will be too late . +No , I will stay another day.my boss will get over it . Would you like to meet me for lunch tomorrow ? +I ’ d like to . But Bob , are you sure it will be all right ? I would hate you to make your boss angry or even lose your job . +It is all right . I will call the boss and tell him I am staying another day . I stayed an extra night in Boston last month and he didn ’ t seem to put about it . +Why did you stay an extra night in Boston ? What happened ? +I will tell you tomorrow . See you tomorrow , Mary . +See you tomorrow . +Evening , table for three , please . +Do you have reservations ? +Yes , I do . I have made reservations under the name of Wang . +Very Wang sir , smoking or no smoking ? +No smoking , please . Could we have table by the window ? +Of course , this way please . +What am I supposed to do with this plastic cup ? +That cup is for a urine sample . +How , exactly , does this work ? +This particular test calls for you to urinate into the cup after you have urinated a little into the toilet . +When I finish , what should I do then ? +You need to leave the cup in the cubby in the restroom , and the lab tech will get it from the other side . +What is my doctor testing me for ? +If there are bacteria in your urine , it could mean an infection somewhere . +Will I know the results right away ? +Your doctor will be contacting you with the results . +Hi , Mike , where are you going ? +I ’ m going to down town . +At this time ? Why don ’ t you go there tomorrow ? It is almost dark . +My boy wants me to buy a toy , so I think I ’ d better satisfy him . +But I have seen many toys in your home . +There is none now because he likes to destroy toys . +But if he always destroys toys and asks you to buy new ones , what will you do ? +Yes , I am annoyed by this , too . +And you still buy him new ones ? +Yes , I think so . +You will spoil him . +How do you choose which companies to work with ? +Well , there are lots of things to consider . Quality and delivery times are as important as price . We also take into consideration technical support and after-sales service . We look for companies with a good track record . We place a few trial orders and if everything goes well , we put them on our approved list . It's important to choose companies you feel you can work closely with . +Do you think I could use your car tomorrow ? I ’ Ve got a date with this girl , see ? And ... +I see . Well , now you can have it as long as you bring it back by nine thirty . +Nine thirty ? That ’ s no good . Couldn ’ t I have it a bit longer ? Even if I fill up the tank ? +I ’ m afraid not , Nick . That ’ s the best I can do . +Welcome to Game World . What can I do for you ? +I'd like to get a good RPG . Can you recommend any ? +Sure . This one here just came out . It's got great 3D graphics and a cool story line . It's also got a multiplayer function so you can play against other people on the Internet . +This one looks pretty good , but I'd like to see more before I make up my mind . Do you have any other suggestions ? +This one is also really cool . It's a sci-fi game in which you have to stop an alien invasion . The graphics on this one are spectacular . +Hmm , it's a tough choice , but I think I'll go with this one . +Hello , this is Peter Dixon from NEZ news radio . May I speak to Mr . Wilson please ? +Yes , speaking . +Good morning , Mr . Wilson . I ’ m calling to confirm the date of the next interview program . +Hold on a minute please .

Do you have the number of the text port ? +Yes , . Do you mind I have a look at your computer ? +Of course not , I appreciate that . +Well , it has nothing to do with virus .

But we don't know who can stay with her . +You need a babysitter . +Yes , I'd ask Jill , the girl I've had before , but I need someone overnight.Maybe even for two nights . +I could have Suzy stay at my place . +I don't want to do that to you , Karen . +Why not ? +Your own kids would get Suzy's cold . I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here . But I don't know who to ask . I need someone more mature than Jill . It might even be for two or three days . +I know who we can ask . There is a girl I know , Sara Ralston.She is 17 , and she will usually take this kind of job . I know her from my church , and I trust her completely . +I'd like to talk with her.This is short notice , I know . But Hank and I are leaving tonight . +I'll get you her number . I hope she can do it . She is very responsible . +I'm glad you know someone . I knew you would be the best person to ask about this . I don't want to insult Jill or her mother . I think Jill maybe could do it.But I'd rather have someone a little older . +I'll go home and get Sara's number . I'll call her first myself . +Great . Then call me and let me know if she's free . +So click here , then up to the top . +Er ... Hum ... Got it . +Then open that window . Yeah , that one . +Right ! +And that's it . You're done . +I see what you mean . That was pretty easy after all . +Hello , I set up my laundry yesterday , are they being ready ? +They will be ready this afternoon . +Oh , no . I ’ m leaving for Japan at eleven this morning . +Is that right ? We are very sorry +I thought it the same day service . Anyway , please do a hurry . +I ’ m afraid ... be can returned by eleven o ’ clock . +Well , then . Would you send to Japan , please ? +Yes , we ’ ll do so . +Excuse me . I lost my way . Could you tell me where the scholar cinema is , please ? +The Scholar ? Let me see . Oh ... yes , Of course I know . It ’ s in the Lincoln Square . +Is that near here ? +Oh , yes . It ’ s just a few minutes walk . Turn left at the traffic light , and you ’ ll see it . +Thank you very much . +Good morning , sir . Can I help you ? +Yes , I want to deposit 1000 Yuan in my bank account . +Please fill out this deposit form , first . +OK ... Here you are . Any problem on that ? +No , that's fine . Do you bring your bankbook with you ? +Yes , I do . Here it is , and the cash . +Wait a moment , please . +Sure . +Is there anything else I can do for you ? +Yes . Can you tell me what the interest rate is now ? +The deposit rate is 0.8 % every month . +Thanks . +Excuse me , doc . I am not feeling well . Can you help me ? +Yes , but not here . Have you got registered yet ? +No , I haven't . Where do I go for that ? +The registration office . Did you bring your records with you ? +Yes . +Is anybody here with you ? Parents or siblings ? +No , I'm here all by myself . +You are a brave kid . Go ahead to the registration office first , then to the doctors . +But I don't know where the registration office is . +It's in the hall on the first floor . +Do I have to come back here after getting registered ? +No , kid . This is the gynecology department . +Gynecology ? +Yeah , It's only for girls . +I really appreciate your driving me around . +It's no problem . I have time today , and I think it's important that you find a good place . +It would be hard for just me to do it . I don't know the city at all . +So what do you see in there ? +This one sounds good.Efficiency with view of the lake.Utilities and parking included . Newly remodeled kitchen . $ 470 . +Can you afford that much ? +No , I guess not . But that's what I want , isn't it ? An efficiency . +Yes , an efficiency is a small apartment.Usually one large room and a small bathroom.There is often a small kitchen too . So it's good for one person . +How about this one ? Downtown efficiency . Furnished ... What does furnished mean ? +That means the apartment has furniture in it . +That's good . +Sometimes it's good , sometimes it's bad . You have to like the furniture . +Furnished . Parking included . $ 400 . +It's still pretty expensive . +Yes , but it's downtown . I would like to take look at this one . +Alright . What's the phone number ? +256-7797 . +Got it . What else do you see ? +This one . Two male grad students seeking roommate.Must be quiet . Comfortable downtown apartment.Does this mean I have to share a room with them ? +No . It probably means they have a large apartment.Probably a living room , kitchen and three bedrooms.They need someone for the empty bedroom . +That sounds alright . +Yes , it might be an advantage for you . You are a foreigner , after all.If they're alright roommates , you could learn a lot from them . +Here's the number , 256-4367 . +Got it.Let ' s call these two and see if we can make appointments to see the apartments . +Sounds good to me . I really appreciate your help on this . +Don't mention it , Larry . What are friends for anyway ? +I have a sore throat and my chest hurts . +How long have you been like this ? +Two or three days now . +I think you've got the flu . There's a lot of it going around . +What do you think I ought to do ? +Get this prescription filled and go straight to bed . +I'm going crazy . +What's the matter ? +I've got a dozen things to do and they all have to be done immediately . +Well , if there is anything I can do to help , let me know . +Excuse me , Miss . I feel like vomiting . Can I bother you for some ice water , please ? +Sure , sir . But can I suggest a cup of warm water instead , I think it may help settle your stomach down . +Fine , please . +You can find an airsick bag in the seat pocket in front of you . +Thank you very much for your kindness . +You are welcome . I'll be back with the warm water in a minute . +Come to think of it , there is one rule in this house , Mary . +What is it ? +When you go out with friends , I don't want you to stay out too late . +Okay . +We maintain a curfew for Cindy because she's just 16 . +How late can we stay out ? +You can stay out till 10 p . m . +But if we're going to be late ? +Then you call me or Tom first . +What is this for ? +It's the key for the safety deposit box . +Okay , thanks . +You're welcome , glad to be of assistance . +Could I be of any help to you ? +I want to buy a skirt , but I have no idea which one to buy . +Do you like miniskirt ? It's popular among young girls . The pleated skirt also sells well . +I don't like to keep up with joneses . +What about the divided skirt ? +I think this suits me . Can I try it on ? +Excuse me , professor . I need to go home now . +Is everything OK ? +I just feel funny . +What exactly seems to be the matter ? +I have a terrible headache . +Do you think that you should go to the Student Health Center ? +I already have some medicine at home if I could just get there . +Do you need someone to drive you home ? +Thank you , but the bus stops right at my house . +Well , go home and rest up . Make sure you check the website for your assignments . +so , have you seen all three The Lord of the Rings movies ? +yes , but I didn't really like the third one at all . +that's the Return of the King , right ? +yeah . Even though the customs were brilliant , I didn't think it was as good as the first two . What did you think ? +I thought the special effects were amazing , but I got a bit confused . The plot was too complicated for me . +did you read the books before you watched the movies ? +no . did you ? +yes , I've read them many times . I think it's much easier to follow for people who were already familiar with all the characters . +yes , trying to keep track of all the characters was quite confusing for me . +I also think that it was much better in the theatre than at home . +most movies are . Another problem for me was the film was dubbed in German with English subtitles . +that happens a lot in non-English speaking countries . +I heard that The Return of the King was nominated for 11 Oscars . +actually , they not only had 11 nominations , but they won 11 Oscars , too ! +How may I help you ? +A double cheeseburger sounds good . +Everything on it ? +Yes , please . +Would you like fries with that ? +I would love large curly fries . +Would you like anything to drink ? +Yes , let me have a medium Pepsi . +Will that be all ? +Yeah , that's it . Thank you . +Your total comes to $ 5.48 . +Here you go . Thank you very much . +Excuse me , sir ? I ’ m afraid this is a no-smoking area . +What ’ s that ? +I ’ m sorry , sir . Smoking is not permitted in this area . +Oh , sorry . I ’ ll put it out . +Ladies and gentlemen , we are heading towards the first spot of our trip-the Louvre . +Wonderful . That's a place famous for its arts . +Yes . There are so many famous paintings on show . I am sure it will be an unforgettable trip . +Surely it will be . By the way , when will we get there ? +Half an hours later . +Hi ! What are you watching ? +It ’ s a programme about islam . It ’ s very interesting . +Wow ! So many people ! Where are they and what are they doing ? +They are muslims on a pilgrimage to mecca . Muslims call this pilgrimage haj . +Why do they go there ? +Muslims believe that every man who is able should go on a haj at least once in his life . Mecca is the spiritual centre of the muslim faith . +When muslims pray , they face towards mecca . +That ’ s right . Unfortunately , so many people go on the haj each year that there are often stamped and people get killed . +I heard about that . The pilgrims must walk around a large , sacred black stone . +That ’ s right . That ’ s when accidents often happen . The Saudi government tries to limit the number of pilgrims , to reduce the chances of accidents . +Pilgrimages are common in many faiths . +Yes . In England , Christian pilgrims might go to Canterbury and many Christians go to the Vatican on pilgrimages . +Isn ’ t there a place in france where people go to get healed ? +I think that place is Lourdes . There are many stories of people being healed after visiting there . +Do you think that there is something magical about that place ? +Personally . I think that people believe they will be healed and that faith causes a change in their mind that cures them . I don ’ t think place is magical in any way . +Very good . Now , I have a couple of final questions . +I hope they ’ re not too hard ! +Well , why should we hire you ? +I think that I would be a perfect fit in this company . I have a unique combination of strong technical acumen , and outstanding soft skills . you know , I excel at building strong , long-term customer relationships . For example , when I headed the customer support department in my previous company , our team solved about seventy percent of our customers ’ problems . I decided that we needed better information and technical preparation on our products , so after I implemented a series of training sessions in coordination with our technical department , we were able to solve ninety percent of our customers ’ issues . Given the opportunity , I could bring this kind of success to this company . +Impressive ! So , what would you consider to be your greatest weakness ? +I struggle with organization and time management . Punctuality has never been a strength of mine . I find it hard to organize my time efficiently . I have actually addressed this weakness recently , by attending a workshop on efficient time management . It helped me a lot , by providing me with great insights on how to get organized and use my time efficiently , so I think I ’ m getting better now . +Great ... Well , let me tell you that I am very pleased with this interview . We are short-listing our candidates this week , and next week we will inform our short listed candidates of the day and time for a second interview with our CEO . +Great , thanks a lot ! I hope to hear from you ! Good bye . +Wow . That girl who brings the fruit is really pretty ! I wish she wouldn't have rushed off so fast ... +Hey , it's an English song ! Sing with us , Ryan ! +" Tie a Yellow Ribbon on the Old Oak Tree " ? ! Where did you learn that song ? +Everyone in Taiwan knows it . Come on ! Sing with us ! +I'm sorry , but I can't ! That's something my grandmother would sing ! +I'm concerned about your car . +It will be fine . +But I think I can help to fix it . +No , don't give it another thought . +I feel terribly bored . I'm going to take a job . +Good . +Then I can buy my own car . +Splendid . +And pay for my own clothes . +That's an excellent idea . +Excuse me , is this where I can catch a bus to the museum ? +Yes , you're at the right stop . +Thank you . +Are you new here ? +Yes . +Have you got small change ? They require exact fare . +Yes , I've got some coins . How much is the fare ? +One yuan . When you get on the front of the bus , just drop your money into the box . +I see . How often does this bus run at this time of day ? +It runs every ten minutes . Oh , here comes the bus . +Can I take a picture ? +I am sorry , sir , it's not allowed . +What a pity . Do you have reproductions of this paint ? +Of course . You can get it at the entrance . +Thank you . +Welcome to our Colonial Tramcar Restaurant , ma'am . Where would you like to sit ? +I'd like to sit in the rear . +All right . Come with me , please . Here is your seat , ma'am . Would you like to order now ? +Yes +What would you like for a drink ? +Wine , please . +What kind ? +Something real Australian . +Would Chablis be all right ? +Yes . That would be fine . +What would you have for a la cane ? +I'll have Chicken and Ginger Burger with Chilli Dressing . +Can I help you , sir ? +Yes , I'd like to look at some suits . +Oh , this way please.What size do you wear ? +Size 41 . I want something in dark flannel . +How about this one ? +It feels all right.But if it were a darker color , I'd like it better.This seems too light for winter.Do you think you could get me one ? +All right . I'll show you something darker.Do you like this one ? +It looks good.But can I try it on ? +Of course.Let me help you . +Thanks.It ' s comfortable.Well , how much is it , please ? +$ 280 . +Ok . I'll take it.Here ' s the money . +What kind of jobs have you had ? +I have been a Production Manager . +How many years have you worked as a Production Manager ? +3 years . +Would you like to tell me something about your outstanding achievements ? +I had introduced an advanced product line , which increased the output and lessened the cost . +Wonderful . Then how many employers have you worked for ? +Frankly speaking , three . If your company employs me , it will be my fourth . +Then have you received any award at your present company ? +Yes . I was awarded the title of Advanced Worker last year . +How would you evaluate the company you are with ? +Although I could not say that everything is perfect there , I still very much appreciate what the company has given me , especial many chances . +How would your colleagues evaluate you ? +They would say I am a responsible friend and a capable colleague . +Can you get recommendations from your present employers ? +Yes , I have brought them with me . Here they are . +Do you have any questions ? +I think that you have covered all the important points already.But if I have any questions later I will contact you . +This is our best product . +How long will it take to make five hundred ? +They'll be done before the end of the week . +Good . +Doctor , may I ask my mother ’ s condition ? +Well , you'd better sit down for this . It has been terminal lung cancer . +Oh my god . Please save her life . +We ’ ll try our best , but you'd better prepare for the worst . +I see , D . But I plead you to help her . +I have said that we will try our best . You can trust us . But you know her situation . +How long do you expect her to live ? +About half a year . +Well , It ’ s not as crowded as we excepted , is it ? +No . But it will be soon . Look , there are two empty seats over there . Let ’ s get them before somebody else does . +Yes , Let ’ s . +Now , Let ’ s make ourselves comfortable since we have got quiet a long way to go . +That ’ s a good idea . +Excuse me , sir , could you please tell me the way to Aidan Bookstore ? +Yes , of course.Would you like to walk there or take a bus ? +Er ... Is it far from here ? +It's just about ten minutes ' walk . Go along this street , on the third cross you'll find it on your left . +Then I'll walk.Many thanks . +Not at all . +What are your terms of sale ? +The price quoted is for CIF . +My understanding is that CIF means the seller is responsible for prepaying shipping costs and arranging for the insurance policy . +Yes , that is correct . We will arrange for the shipping costs and insurance policy . +Is it possible to consider FOB ? That way , we will handle the insurance through our broker . +Yes , we could also make this arrangement , , if you prefer . +I ’ m thinking about redecorating my bedroom . I bought this magazine in order to get some ideas . What do you think of this ? +That looks good . The room in the picture is bigger than your bedroom , so you wouldn ’ t be able to put all the furniture in your room . +I ’ d like to have the bad and the wardrobe . +You would fit both of them in your bedroom . Perhaps you could also get the dressing table . I think that one would look good in your bedroom . +Yes , it would . It ’ s very expensive though . +Everything in this magazine seems expensive . You could probably find something similar in a discount furniture store . +Yes . I ’ m sure I could find something similar at one . I ’ d also like to get a new carpet for my bedroom . +You can get cheap carpets easily . Another idea is to buy a rug . That would cover a lot of the carpet and you wouldn ’ t have to replace the carpet . It would save you a lot of work . +That ’ s a good idea . I ’ m really looking forward to redoing my bedroom . +Excuse me , can you tell me where the breakfast cereals are ? +They're in aisle 2A , down that way . +Are the snack foods in that area , too ? +Yes , they're in ... let me think ... Aisle 3B , if I remember right . +Okay , I'll go take a look . Thank you so much for your help . +Don't mention it . +How are you , Mr . Stone ? I m Farley . +Pleased to meet you , Mr . Farley . +Please have a seat . I know our employment officer has already given you information about your employee contract , but I'd like to go over the main details again before signing . First , you'llbe getting a monthly salary , with one month paid vacation after one year of employment . +OK May I ask whether there is probation ? +No probation is involved . +Shall we have some soup first ? +No , thank you . I don't like soup . I'd rather have some fruit juice to start with . +Ok , and what about the main course ? Which would you rather have , fish or meat ? +Meat , I think . +Don't you like fish then ? +I do , but I want meat . +Shall we have some white wine then ? +Yes , but I prefer red wine with meat . +What would you like for dessert ? +I just want to have a coffee , I think . +Fine , and after dinner , shall we go to a disco ? +No , thanks . I'd like to go straight home . I'm very tired . +How long have we had the A3 printer in the sales department ? +Just over a year I think . Why , what's the problem ? +I'm not sure but there seems to be something wrong with it . Is it still under guarantee ? +I think the guarantee's just run out . Let me check . Oh , it's OK . We took out an extended warranty , it runs until next March . +Excuse me . I ’ m a stranger here and lost my way . +Can I help you ? +Sure .

It ’ s only two minutes drive . +You have to call the office first . +All right . Thank you very much for your help . +My pleasure . +Dear fellows . As you know , Mr . Ross will be leaving us very soon after his short but meaningful visit to our company . +I really want to stay a little longer , but I still have a meeting to attend .

So , this contract decides the terms and the line of basic deposit withheld while settling the account . So , if we look within the line of basic deposit , the interest should be counted at the rate of Current Deposit on the day of settlement or withdrawal . +What if I exceed ? +If it goes beyond the basic deposit , the agreement will be settled at the rate agreement savings which has been determined by the People's Bank of China on the day you wish to settle or withdraw . +Right , I see .

How much is a room ? +The price per night is $ 308 . +That sounds fine to me . +Fantastic ! Would you like a smoking or nonsmoking room ? +I hate cigarettes ! Nonsmoking . +That'll be nonsmoking . Now , do you approve of a single queen-size bed ? +That'll be no problem . +I'm happy to hear that , sir . Your reservation is all set except for your phone number . +Sure !

We made it . 5 fifty-eight , just before the library closes . +You ’ re such a geek ! +Did you vote ? +Of course ! +Who was your vote for President ? +My vote was for Barack Obama . +I didn ’ t expect him to win . +I had no doubt in my mind that he would win . +What made you think that ? +Nobody could compete with him . +I thought his race would have kept him from winning . +Times are changing . +That ’ s true . +I support our new President 100 % . +This computer isn't working properly . +I told you so . I kept having problems with it yesterday . I don't know what's wrong . +We need to get it fixed soon . +Here . Keep the change . +Oh , thank you very much . +You're welcome .

Thank you . +Caroline Menzies speaking . +Could I speak to Diana Curzon ? +I'm afraid she's in a meeting at the moment . Who's speaking ? +This is John Laing from Dantons . +Can I take a message , Mr Laing ? +Yes , please . I'm actually returning her call . So perhaps you could tell her that I called . +Certainly . Does she have your number ? +She must have , but let me give it to you anyway . It's 01705 455623 . +01705 ... +455623 . +455623 . +That's right . +OK . I'll make sure she gets the message . +Thank you . +What're you doing now ? +I'm watching TV . +You're supposed to clean your teeth before you go to bed . +I will . +And don't ever forget it . +So how did your end-of-the-year review go ? +Oh , it was okay . I had my meeting with Mitch this morning and his bottom line is that he thinks I need to show more initiative . He thinks that I need to start being more creative . +Did he actually say that ? +Well , not in so many words . But I know that productivity is a big issue for him . Oh , he said the usual things like “ Keep up the good work ” and “ Thanks for your hard work , ” but he also said that he's thinking about bringing some employees into my department . That , to me , means he's not satisfied with what I've been doing . +Are you sure you're not reading too much into what he said ? +No , I Don't . Either I shape up or my job is on the line . +Well , I think you may be overreacting . Mitch likes to give everybody constructive criticism and I think that's what he was doing . +Do you really think so ? +Yes , I do . If you ask around , other people will tell you the same thing . +Maybe you're right . Thanks , Don . I feel better . +I'm glad to hear it . +What's going on ? +Nothing really , you ? +I'm throwing a party next Saturday . +Is that right ? +Yeah , are you going to come ? +I'm sorry , I can't . +Why not ? +I don't really want to . +Well , why don't you ? +I hate going to parties . +Well , that's okay . +Yeah , sorry . +What are your strengths and weaknesses ? +As I said , I am diligent and industrious . On the other hand , I am too hard-working and I put myself under much pressure to make things perfect . +What is your problem in working ? +I am too introverted to let others become my friends . +Hello again . Have you come to a decision ? +I'm still not sure about these ' Visible ' Certificates . What's the real difference , except the amounts available ? +Visible Certificates are registered and the holders of these can report any loss directly to the bank . Also , they can be cashed in advance , before the maturity is up . +Right . How about the Bearer Certificates ? Can they be cashed before the maturity date ? +Unfortunately , not . You see , because they are not registered , they can be bought and sold by anyone . They also can be cashed on maturity in any nationwide financial institution . +So , if I was strapped for cash , I could transfer it to get some money ? +Technically , yes . +OK , I think I've got it . +Hey Mei Hong , how are you getting to Xi ’ an next week ? +I ’ m not sure yet . I may take the train but then again I might take the bus . +Yeah but the bus takes a long time . You could fly - it ’ s not so expensive these days . +Really ? Maybe I ’ ll do that then . +Ok well , you let me know your schedule and I ’ ll book a ticket for you . +Ok . Thanks for that ! +Can I help you , sir ? +Yes , please . I'm picking out some presents for my children and wife . +What kind of presents do you want ? +Actually , I don't know exactly . Do you have anything recommended ? +OK . How about some very cool sneakers for your children ? Anyway , it won't cost you much . It's only around $ 59.95 for each pair . It might be cheaper than that in America . +Hey , How did you know I came from America ? +Just a hunch , sir . +How much again ? +$ 59.95 . +That's really cheap for shoes like those . OK , I'll take 5 pairs . +Sorry , sir . +Why not ? +Because in this duty-free shop , your total expenditure cannot be over $ 300 and you also have one more present to buy for your wife . +Oh , my God . I've totally forgotten about that . Anyway , I think she would like a bottle of perfume . +That's good . And I can also recommend you a good one . It's the brand of DENY . +DENY ? That's very expensive in America . It costs nearly $ 70 for only 50ml . +It's $ 60 here . +That's very unbelievable . Is it fake ? +Of course not , sir . +OK , I'll take one . +I see by your resume that you have been working ? +Yes , I have worked for four years with a Canadian Company . +Tell me what you know about our company , please . +Well , Mark Smith , who was the first president , founded the company in Ottawa in 1955 . It has 1.5 billion dollars in capital.it employs 8,000 people , and it is the largest company in its field in Canada . +What do you know about our major products and our share of the market ? +Your company's products are mostly marketed in Canada and the United States , but particularly have sold very well here in China . So I think in the future you'll find China to be a profitable market as well . +What made you decide to change your job ? +Because I want to change my working environment and seek new challenges . +Do you like this job ? +Yes , I like it very much . +What do you think is the most important qualification for a salesperson ? +I think it is confidence in himself and his products . +I agree with you . Do you have any questions to ask about this job ? +Yes , I'd like to know something about the salary . +I think the starting salary for a salesperson is between 1,500 - 2,000 Yuan . But the specific number will be determined according to your sales . +When can I get the final decision ? +We cannot reach a final decision until we have talked to all of the other five applicants . Anyhow , we'll contact you within this month . All right . Nice meeting you . Good-bye . +Nice meeting you , too . Good-bye . +Peter , it's time to eat breakfast . +I am brushing my teeth . +Alright , you'd better hurry , your bus is coming . +Mom ~ the toothpaste dropped on my shorts . +Oh , dear , go get another pair . I'll help you change your shorts . +Okay , now I ’ d like to find out more about your last job . I see you spent almost four years at the London Weekly , is that right ? +Yes , that ’ s right . To be honest , the first year was quite tough for me . I was really just treated more like an intern . I didn ’ t have many responsibilities and I found it quite frustrating . +So , what changed ? +Well slowly but surely I proved myself , and the new editor liked me so he promoted me to features writer . +Wow , a real step up ! +Yes , I was responsible for restaurant and food reviews mostly . I spent 3 years in that position , but to be honest it wasn ’ t an area of journalism I wanted to stay in long-term . +I see , so why did you decide to leave finally ? +I just felt that the paper couldn ’ t offer me any new opportunities . I really needed a more challenging role to be honest . +Would you tell me how I should send this parcel to Shanghai , China ? It contains only books . +You might send it as'Printed Matter ' . +I wonder if I could have it insured here ? +Of course . How much would you want to insure these books for ? +Let me see ... I think I can have them insured for five hundred dollars . +Five hundred dollars , so you pay ten dollars for the insurance , that's two percent of the total value of the article . +Here's a check for ten dollars . +What time does the next train to London leave ? +At 16:35 , from platform 8 . +Is it a direct train to London ? +No , you have to change trains at Birmingham . +I see . One ticket to London , please . +Single or return , sir ? +Single , please . +64 pounds , please . +Here you are . +Here's your ticket and change , sir . +Hello there , welcome to Wine World . Let me know if I can help you out at all . +Um , yes , please , I could really use some help . I'm going over to my boss'house for dinner tonight and don't know what kind of wine I should bring . +OK , do you know what kind of food will be served ? +Well , his wife is Japanese . He said she makes really good sushi . +Hmm , that's a bit of a challenge . Sushi is notoriously difficult to pair with wine . Well , let's see . have to be a white wine , of course . +Why ? Wouldn't a red wine go well with sushi ? +No , I don't think so . Sushi is a very delicately flavored food , and red wine would be a jarring contrast . You need a white wine , which has more subtle flavors , to complement the fish . +I see . So should I get a bottle of Chardonnay ? That's a white wine , right ? +Yes , Chardonnay is a white wine , but I'm not sure it'd be your best bet . Chardonnay is one of the more fullbodied whites , and tends to be a bit oaky . I'd suggest that you go for something brighter , like this Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand . +Sauvignon Blanc ? What's that ? +That's another varietal , or type of grape , just like Chardonnay . +Let's see . The label says it's got " attractive citrus and grassy aromas that give way to crisp , mineral flavors and a bonedry finish . Serve chilled . " Oh , no , how long will it take to chill the wine ? I'm on my way to the dinner now . +It's OK , don't worry , we'll just choose a wine from the cooler . We don't have quite as extensive a selection over here , but ... this Rhone Valley white would be lovely . +All right . What varietal is that ? +Well , this is a French wine , so they don't always specify the varietal on the label . The French believe that the soil a grape is grown in is one of the most important factors in the final flavor of the wine . This wine is probably a blend of a few different types of grapes , mostly Viognier , I'd guess . +And you think this is a good wine ? +Yes , this is one of our best-sellers . It's not quite as dry as the Sauvignon Blanc we were looking at earlier , which means it's more approachable . It's light and crisp , with a bit of a vanilla aroma . +Perfect ! I'll take it ! +You look really nice today . +Thank you . I just got this outfit the other day . +Really , where did you get it ? +I got it from Macy's . +It's really nice . +Thanks again . You look nice today , too . +Thank you . I just got these shoes today . +Really ? What kind of shoes are they ? +These are called All Star Chuck Taylors . +I really like those . How much did they cost ? +They were about forty dollars . +I think I'm going to go buy myself a pair . +Excuse me , but can you tell me the way to the Today Mall ? +Yes , go down the fifth street . You won't miss it . +How long will it take me to get there ? +It's only about 10 minutes ' walk . +Thank you very much . +I was really glad to hear about your promotion . Congratulations ! +Thanks , Jane . I was really surprised . I mean there were a lot of qualified people out there . +Sure , but the work you did was really exceptional ! You definitely deserved it ! +Thanks a lot . +You are always responsible and careful . +Jane , I appreciate it very much . I expect to see you get nominated pretty soon , too . You've been doing some great work ! +Thank you . I'll try my best . By the way , when do you take over the new position ? +Next month . +So what are you responsible for ? +I'm going to manage the whole accounts department . +So you must get higher pay than before . +Yes , the company will also give me a prize of 1,000 Yuan . +1,000 Yuan ? That's great ! So ... +OK , I know what you mean . It's my treat . +Really ? Can I order anything I want ? +Of course . Let's go . +Good afternoon , Miss Qi . +Good afternoon.It ' s very nice to see you again . +How are you feeling today ? +I'm much better.The stomachache is gone , and the doctor is about to give me another endoscope examination to see whether the ulcer has healed . +That's good.Well , these are for you . I hope you will like them . +How beautiful they are ! Thank you so much . +I've also brought some magazines for you . I hope they'll keep you from getting bored while you're in the hospital . +You're so thoughtful ! +It's time for me to leave . I hope you will recover soon.See you later . +Thank you for coming.Good - bye . +Where do you wish me to take you , sir ? +Please take us to Harvard University . By the way , is it far from here ? +It takes about half an hour to get there . +( Get here ) Here we are , sir . +How much do I owe you ? +It ’ s 35 dollars on the meter . +Here ’ s 50 dollars . Keep the change . +Thank you . Have a nice day . +It's your turn , sir . I'm sorry that you had to wait . Saturday is a busy day for us . +I suppose so . A haircut , please . +How do you want your hair cut ? Any particular way ? +I'd just like a trim , and don't cut it too short . +Yes , sir . How about the sideburns ? +I think they only need a little trimming . +Can I use the clippers ? +No , don't use them , please . +Oh , all right , sir . +Would you trim off a bit more there , above the ear ? +Don't you think it needs a little taken off on top , too ? +I guess that would be better . +( Raising a lock ) About like this ? +No , not that much . Now , yes , that's fine . +Shave also , s ir ? +Yes . +How do you want your moustache trimmed ? +Do you mind if I smoke here ? +Yes , I do . I ’ d prefer you didn ’ t . The AC ( air-conditioning ) is also on . +Can I just turn off the AC for now and open the window and smoke indoors ? +That ’ s not a very good idea . It ’ s quite hot outside . Why don ’ t you smoke outside ? +It ’ s very hot and that ’ s why I ’ d like to smoke inside . +Though the AC has the air-purifying function . I ’ d still rather have fresh air than smoke . Are you okay with that ? +Oh , no problem . +Would you like to know about benefits and so forth ? +Please . Everyone enjoys hearing the benefits of something ! +With this agreement we can bring over you many benefits . For example , head offices of your group companies can get really prompt integrated fund transfers and centralised allocations . This helps internal supervision and admin run smoothly . +That is wonderful . We've been having serious problems in that area . Our internal accounts seem so messy at the moment , nothing is running smoothly and it's costing us time and money . +Hopefully signing up for this Network Settlement Service will solve all of that . If you are sure , we can go ahead now , Sir . How does 10 am tomorrow sound , to get all of the paperwork out of the way ? +I've enjoyed conversing with you . +Is there a reason why you're trying to get off the phone so fast ? +I've got to go . +I wasn't done talking to you . +I have to do some things , and besides , it's not polite to be nosey . +I'm not being nosey . I'm just asking . +I really don't think it's any of your business . +That's not nice . +I apologize , but I'm getting off the phone now . +Okay . +Hello , Fairbrook Consulting , how may I help you ? +Yes , this is Julianne Horton , and I ’ m calling to arrange an appointment with Ms . McNeal . +Certainly , what day were you thinking of ? +How ’ s Thursday ? Does she have any time available then ? +Um . . . let me double check . . . unfortunately , she ’ s booked solid on Thursday , how does next Monday work for you ? +Actually , I ’ Ve got something scheduled on Monday . Can she do Tuesday ? +Sure , Tuesday ’ s perfect . May I ask where you ’ re calling from ? +Sure , Merton Financial Advisors . +Oh , actually , Tuesday ’ s no good . Sorry about that . +What's the chef's specialty ? +It's fried sole . +Bring me one and besides , I would like to have a chicken cream soup . +Sure . Please wait for a moment . +Hello sir , welcome to Pistolera restaurant . May I take your order ? +Yes , I would like the chicken cheese enchiladas with a side of guacamole . +I ' m sorry sir , but we ran out of chicken . May I suggest our delicious beef burritos or cheese quesadillas ? Both include a side of guacamole and jalapenos . +Sure I ' ll have the burrito . Do you have nachos ? +Of course sir . Our nachos come with melted cheese and chili . +Sounds good . +Would you like anything to drink ? +Sure , I ' ll have a Corona . +Excuse me , Mr . Graham ? I have something I need to discuss with you . +I ’ m in a bit of a hurry , Louise . Can it wait ? +I would really appreciate it if we could talk for a few minutes now . It ’ s about the overtime you ’ Ve asked me to put in . +All right . Why don ’ t you have a seat ? What ’ s the problem ? +Why are you up so early , Mary ? +I'm still suffering from a little jetlag . +What are you watching ? +Saturday morning cartoons . +At least five channels have morning cartoons on Saturdays . +I think watching them is a great way to learn English . +I agree . And some cartoons are entertaining even for adults . +Yeah . Is Cindy up ? +Are you kidding ? It's too early for her . +Let me suggest this one . It's an excellent watch , it looks good , and it's only $ 100 . +Hmm . That's not too bad . Does it have a stopwatch ? +Uh , no . Analog watches don't come with stopwatches . You'll have to get a digital if you want a stopwatch . +Oh . I see . Where are your digital watches ? +Right here . +I don't like this kind as much . Never mind the stopwatch then . I'll take that other one . Do you take checks ? +Yes . Make it out to Time After Time . +Here you are . +Thank you . +Dad , you've been driving for three hours . Why don't we have a switch ? +There're a lot of chuckholes on this old highway . Driving on it is experience-demanding . +Trust me . I've been driving for two years . +Ok . You drive and do be careful . +Do you have any special interests besides your job ? +My chief interest is swimming and climbing with my friends . +What do you think is the most important thing for you to be happy ? +I think that the most important thing is you can ’ t live all by himself . It takes a lot of people working and cooperating together . The more really close friends I have , the better . +There is a reason in what you say . +Do you know which bus will take me from PHS to Sons ? +Which Sons do you want to go to ? +It's on Fair Oaks and Orange Grove . +You actually need to catch two buses . +Okay , which ones do I need to take ? +The first bus you need to get on is the 268 . +What do I do next ? +Once you get to Fair Oaks and Washington , get off . +Then what should I do ? +You need to get on the 261 . It goes all the way to Sons . +Is that it ? +That's it . +I have a little problem with room 507 . +Problems are what we're here for , sir . Please tell me your problem . +This room is filthy with cockroaches . +Were you wearing your glasses when you noticed them , sir ? +I've already seen nine of them and , as they say , eight is enough ! +Sir , sometimes a fast elevator ride makes our guests see spots . +You are not in a position to question my vision or my statement ! +I'm very sorry , sir . Will you please hold while I transfer you to my supervisor ? +Are there any beds vacant ? +Yes , what kind of room do you want ? +I prefer one facing the sea . Besides , it should have a shower . +Sorry , right now we can only have you a room without shower . +Well , that's fine . +Miss , which is the movie channel ? I can't find it . +Let me help you . OK , this is the one you want . Push this button to change the channel . We have 6 channels in all . Have a good day . +Thanks so much . +I would like to make an appointment to discuss the problems I keep having with my apartment . +Are you having problems ? This is the first I ’ Ve heard of it . +We gave you a list of problems last week . +What kind of problems are you talking about ? +Well , the garbage disposal doesn ’ t work , we have rats , and the toilet is backed up . +Maybe I could get back to you in a few weeks . I am leaving on vacation this afternoon . +These things are your responsibility , and you need to fix them immediately . +Don ’ t tell me what to do ! I ’ ll get to it when I get around to it ! +If these problems are not addressed immediately , I will be contacting the health department this Friday and you will not get a rent check . +I ’ ll be right over ! +Has someone already helped you ? +No , not yet . I'd like to buy a teapot . +Which do you like best ? +That colored one is very beautiful . It may suit my furniture . How much do you ask for it ? +360 yuan . +Show it to me , Please . Can you get me another ? It's scratched a little bit here . +Sorry , sir . This is the last one we have in stock . +I do like it . Can you come down a bit ? +I can give you a 10 % discount . +That's still too much . Can you lower the price further ? +I'm afraid that's the best we can do . +If so , I'd better try another store . +Can you look after my son for me tonight ? +I'd be glad to . He's really cute . +We're now staying at the Holiday Inn . How do we get to the airport ? +We have shuttle buses leaving for the airport from downtown every 20 minutes The bus stops at Holiday Inn as well . Be sure to get on the bus before 30 . +What is the earliest one ? +At 7 am . It takes about one hour to get to the airport . So it'll be right for your timing . +OK , thank you . By the way , what can I do if I want to put off my flight ? +Your tickets are valid for one year.If you want to change flight , you just go to the airline's ticketing office and have it reconfirmed . But you have to fly the same airlines . +OK . What can I do if l want to cancel the ticket ? +In that case . you can get a refund with a certain percentage of the original fare deducted as the service charge . +That's reasonable . OK , thank you very much . +Welcome . May I help you ? +Use , I want a eye-shadow . +We have different colours of eye-shadow . May I know what colour you usually wear ? +Purple . But today , I'm thinking of buying one in a bright colour . +Yes , I see . How do you like this one ? +May I have a try ? +Certainly . +It's still too dark . Any brighter colours ? +Not from this brand , I'm afraid . +What about other brands ? +How about this one ? +Oh , that's the very thing I need . +OK , so this is the main factory area . We're now walking past the printing machine . It's printing in four colours at the moment . +What's going on over there ? +They're setting up the machine for a new run . +How long does that usually take ? +About twenty minutes . +What's happening at the far end ? +That's the packing line . The goods are being wrapped and loaded onto pallets ready for transportation . +I've found a nice place in this district.Three bedrooms , a large kitchen , high ceilings , a tile bath and a big drawing room . +It sounds nice , but don't forget this is a seedy , run-down neighborhood . +What about the one on the Yellow River Road ? It's a two-bedroom one , and renovated building with an eat-in kitchen . +It's a bit small but looks nice.What ' s more , it's only ten minutes ' walk to the company . +How long have you been washing clothes here ? +I started washing here about three years ago . +How come ? +I can wash my clothes for less money here . +This is my first time washing clothes here . +What reason are you washing here today ? +I can't wash at home because my machine is broken . +Go and get it repaired . +That'll cost too much . +Are you going to continue washing your clothes here for a while ? +I have no choice . +Washing clothes at a Laundromat costs a lot less money . +I would like to buy a ticket to New York please . +When do you plan to travel ? +I ’ d like to pack my bags and leave tonight . +Are you aware that without two weeks advance notice prices will be very high ? +Yes I know , but I just got the chance to leave and so I am going to take it no matter what . +I understand . So that ’ s one ticket to New York , and you ’ ll be departing tonight . Will that be one-way or round trip ? +I wish I could stay there , but unfortunately it will have to be a round trip ticket . +When would you like to return ? +My return date will be the 14th . +OK . I have several seats available . Would you like a window seat or an aisle seat ? +Anything but a center seat is fine with me . The middle seat drives me crazy ! +OK Mr . Lee . I have you booked on flight 513 leaving on the 5th at 11:00 pm and arriving in New York on the 6th at 6 +Will there be any layovers ? +No , all flights are direct . +Perfect ! I ’ m afraid to ask , but how much is it ? +$ 800 dollars . +The government is going to organize a folk-custom activity at the end of the month . And our community is supposed to put on a performance . +What kind of performance ? A lion dance ? +Stuff like that but I think the lion dance is a bit too difficult and dangerous . +Sure , you'll be dancing with lions . What do you expect ? Then what about Range Dance which we did before . +Good idea . Shall we get everyone in the community ? +Maybe not . I think we should just focus on the retired people . +I know that they already have a Range Dance team and then what we need is just to do some rehearsals . +What about the costumes ? +We can raise money in the community . You know each family 10 yuan maybe . +Try something new . We can find a supporting agency . +Great idea . There is a travel agency nearby who would love to be our sponsor . It's a perfect chance for them to promote ethnic tourism . +Doctor , what are some things I can do to stay as healthy as I can be ? +You need to eat healthy foods and avoid unhealthy foods . +Sometimes I don ’ t know what the best foods are . +Fresh fruits and vegetables are important , along with protein and whole grains . +What things should I avoid ? +You don ’ t want to eat food that is high in fat . You need to avoid caffeine and sugar . +Beyond diet , what else can I do to be healthy ? +Getting 30 minutes of exercise a day is important . If you smoke , you need to stop . +How about having a beer on the weekend ? +Less than a serving of alcohol a day can actually be good for you . Do not overdo it ! +I feel terrible sick , miss . I wonder if I could change my seat to the front part . +Please wait a moment .. I am sorry right now there is no vacant seat . I have to ask . +Thank you . +By the way , hold your bag in case you vomit . +How many people are there in your family ? +My immediate family is quite small . It's just my older step-brother , my mom , my step-dad and me . How about you ? +I have a large family . I have three older sisters , my twin sister , a younger brother , and my parents . +I didn't know you were a twin ! Are you identical or fraternal ? +We're identical . I mean , we look exactly the same , but we complete opposites when it comes to everything else ! +Interesting . It must be great having a twin sister .

Some of them are pretty good . +I like beer , it's just that I get a headache when I drink more than 3 . +You just have to build up a tolerance . I used to be like that . But your body gets used to it . +It'll take awhile , but I'm working on it . +Hey let's go out tomorrow night . The Ram Bar and Grill is having a special on pitchers . +Alright . +I really love this meal . +Thanks . I was hoping that you would all enjoy this meal . +Where did you learn to cook these amazing dishes ? +I got a really wonderful cookbook for my birthday and decided to try out a few of the recipes . +The chicken is out of this world ! +I love that dish as well . It is coconut chicken with rice . +I was wondering if there was shrimp in the soup . +Yes , that soup has a shrimp base . I also added sea vegetables and lemon grass . +It worked out well that the wine that I brought to share seems to blend well with this meal . +I love this wine ! It goes very well with the chicken . +Does your chicken taste all right ? +The chicken tastes wonderful , but it is kind of dry . Is your fish OK ? +My fish has good seasoning but is a little dry . +It seems as if they got busy and left it sitting before it got to us . +Yes , maybe they are short-handed in the kitchen tonight . +Are your vegetables a little mushy ? +The vegetables seem to not be very fresh . +Mine aren't so good , either . +I usually enjoy the meals here , so I think that we should tell the waiter that there is something wrong with this meal . +I think that we should let someone know . They will probably want to fix the problem . +I'm going to have to do some shopping today . +Oh yeah ? What do you need to go shopping for ? +I want to find a new bedroom set . +Do you know where you're going to find your bedroom set ? +I have no clue . +There's no particular place that you want to look at ? +I don't know where to go to find a nice bedroom set . +I can tell you where I got mine , if you'd like . +Please do . +I bought mine from IKEA . +Are the bedroom sets at IKEA affordable ? +Not really , but you're paying for quality . +Welcome to the KFC Just-in-Time .

What is it ? +Excuse me . Do you mind if I ask some things about work for this company ? +Not at all .

Is that right ? +No . Everyone has a chance to correct his or her mistakes . The most important thing is to be responsible for your work . +Working here involves a busy schedule and overtime.Is that true ? +Yes.That ' s true . We are always busy . The company attaches great importance to high efficiency . Sometimes we have to work overtime , but not always .

We have termites in the wood , cockroaches all over the place , and last night I saw a huge rat out in the backyard ! +Well , there ’ s nothing we can ’ t handle . I ’ ll spray the floorboards and walls to get rid of the cockroaches , but the termites will be harder to get rid of . We will have to cover the entire house and fumigate it .

Are you going to work late ? +No , I'm not . I'm going to look for an apartment . +An apartment ? Why ? +I'm going to try to find a place near the office . +Where are you living now ? +Out in the suburbs.It ' s a long trip to work every day . +How are you going to find an apartment ? +I'm going to buy a newspaper and check the classified ads . +Apartments in the city are expensive . +I know , but I'm going to enroll in a night school to take a course in business management . +Excuse me , is there a swimming pool in your hotel ? +Yes , the swimming pool is right behind the building . Walk out of the door and you will see it . +What's the fare ? +$ 10 per hour . +Thank you . +Well , we've finally put the finishing touches on the training programs for next year . Here's a report showing the projected costs as well as the expected return on investment . +Return on investment ? How can you have a return on this kind of investment ? Can you really calculate the value of these training programs ? +Sure ! It's not a real figure , of course . It's just an estimate based on rehiring costs , and the potential lost revenue that results from incompetence . +Wow ! I'm impressed . So , what's in the cards for future training ? Will it be in-house or off-site ? +A little of both . We'll have a few daylong sessions for things like business writing skills and software training . Those are available to everyone . We also have a variety of other programs +Yes , I see that here ... continuing education for the IT department , a time management course for accounting , and team building for sales .

She ’ s so grown up now . +How old is she ? +Four and a half going on twelve ! +What can I do for you , Miss ? +Have you a bus tour ?

Don't worry , Miss , we have buses every 15 minutes . +Egg , this bathroom is a pigsty ! +Helen , why do you keep flushing the toilet ? What's wrong ? +I just can't stand it . It's really gross in here ! There ' s a stain on the toilet seat , and the floor was wet and slippery . So I cleaned it ! +You did what ? Helen , I know it's gross , but I ' Ve seen many public washrooms that are much worse . Why are you cleaning the counter top ? are you out of your mind ? +I can't help myself ; it's just so disgusting in here ! +Helen , this is not like your own bathroom . Just leave it to the cleaners , okay ? +Hang on . I'm just gonna quickly wipe the sink and sweep the floor . +You're such a neat freak ! I'm outta here ! +What do you want to do tonight ? +I don't know . What do you want to do ? +I have no idea . Do you think we're in a rut ? +What do you mean ? +Well , we do the same things every weekend . We go to the same restaurants . We see the same friends . You know what I mean ? +Yeah , I guess you're right . It's easy to get bogged down in the day to day , and forget to change things up once in a while . Let's break out and do something completely different tonight . +Okay , I'll look in the events section of the paper to see what's going on tonight . Hmm , we could go to a concert . There is a good one tonight . I bet it's not sold out . But , we'll have to drive an hour to the venue . +An hour ? That's a bit of a bummer . Let me take a peek and see what else there is . How about going dancing ? We haven't done that in a while . There's a club in Silver Lake that's supposed to be hopping on Friday nights . Eddie from work told me that they have a really good DJ and a big dance floor , and the cover charge isn't bad . +I'm not really in the mood for dancing , actually . You know what ? I just feel like staying home tonight and vegging , after all . How about you ? +Yeah , I was hoping you'd say that . It's nice to have the option to go out but I'd rather stay in . Maybe we can go out tomorrow night . +Yeah , definitely , tomorrow night . +This is Action 5 News reporter Sarah O ’ Connell reporting live from Washington , D . C . where a protest has broken out . Thousands of angry citizens are protesting against the proposed bailout of the auto manufacturing industry ! Sir , sir , Sarah O ’ Connell , Action 5 news . Can you tell us what ’ s happening ? +Yeah , yeah , we ’ re here because we feel this is an injustice ! The financial irresponsibility of big business has to stop ! We ’ re there to show the government that we don ’ t like the way that they ’ re spending our tax dollars ! +Sir but what exactly is making everyone so angry ? +It ’ s an absolute outrage , Sarah , the US government wants to give 25 billion dollars of taxpayers ’ money to the auto industry . These are companies that have been mismanaged and are now nearly bankrupt . +I see . But , many supporters of the bailout argue that it could help save the jobs of millions of hardworking Americans . +That maybe true , and I for one don ’ t want to see anyone lose their job , but how can these Ces ask for a bailout when they ’ re making millions of dollars ? And then , they have the nerve to fly to Washington in private jets ! This costs hundreds of thousands of dollars ! And they ’ re asking for money ! That is just not right ! +Good point . This is Sarah O ’ Connell reporting live from Washington D . C . , back to you , Tom . +Mom , I want to move out . +Hey , sounds great to me , kid . What kind of job did you find ? +Job ? +Yes , job . If you ’ re going to live on your own , you have to pay for rent and everything else . +I thought I could just get you and Dad to pay for an apartment . I found a cheap one . +When you move out , your father and I aren ’ t paying your rent , young man . Get a job . +You ’ re right . If I ’ m going to live on my own , I have to be independent . +Well , the newspaper is over there . Look in the want ads , but I don ’ t know what you ’ re going to find without a college degree . +Would you please take a seat over there ? There are some interesting magazines on the coffee-table . +Thank you . How long it take to get my son's hair cut ? +It shouldn't be long . Thirty minutes , tops . Are you in a hurry ? +No . I'm thinking that maybe I can get my hair shampooed . +Good idea . Do you want a wash or a massage ? Massage is especially good when you are tired . +How come ? +Because it helps you speed up your circulation . +Then I won't say no to that . +How do you like it ? +I feel totally refreshed . +We have discount coupons . 100 Yuan for ten times . Would you like to have one ? +This time included ? +Of course . +Then yes . +Hello , May I help you ? +Yes , we're interested in seeing the rooms for rent . +Oh , how nice ! There are bright rooms and the house is very quiet . +That is exactly what we're looking for . +Well , each room is 40 dollars a week . +That sounds all right to us . +When do you want to move in ? +How about tomorrow afternoon ? +Fine , I'll be expecting you . +See you tomorrow . +I need to get my prescription filled . +You may pick it up in twenty minutes . +If I wanted to , could I have it mailed to me ? +Yes , and you can renew this prescription by phone . +Are there any special instructions about this medication ? +Take it three times a day . +Can I take it with food ? +You should take this medicine with food and no alcohol . +Are there any side effects with this medication ? +You might get a little dizzy , but that is it . +How much for a bus pass ? +Well , for a monthly pass , it'll cost you $ 65 . +Is there anything else that doesn't cost as much ? +If you're a student , you can get a student bus pass . +How much does a student pass cost ? +That actual bus pass is free . +It doesn't cost anything ? +The only thing you'll have to pay for is the monthly sticker . +Can you tell me how much that'll cost ? +It's only $ 24 a month . +Sounds good , let me get that . +I'll get it for you right now . +Excuse me , how many sightseeing spots are there in the park ? +There are about 20 main spots and some other small spots . +Do I have to buy extra ticket if I want to visit the main spots ? +Yes , some of the spots charges separately . +Well , do you have through tickets ? +Yes , sir , it's $ 20 . +Are you going grocery shopping today ? +I am , as a matter of fact . Do you have any special requests ? +Yes , please get some white bread , thick cut , some ham , not the processed stuff , some gouda cheese , some galla apples and . . . +Wait . This is sounding like a major list . Why don't you just come with me ? +I was wondering if you'd let me stay here for a few days . +It really depends on when and how long . +Until next weekend , if that's OK . +Can I see some men's watches ? +Of course . How about this one ? +What functions does this watch have ? +It's a luminous watch with a time-reminder function . +Is it waterproof ? +Yes , and it comes with a worldwide guarantee . +I'll take it . Please set the watch for me . +Excuse me . Can I change my seat with you ?

Follow me , please . +Will you give me a hand , sir ? +By all means . +Thank you very much . +You're welcome . +I'll be glad when winter comes . +Why is that ? +Because I love the snow . +Yes , the snow is fun . +Last year we made a big snowman . +How big was it ? +It was seven feet tall . +How long did it take ? +It took us all day . +Did you give him a nose ? +Of course . We gave him a big carrot for a nose . +Let me help you make one this year . +I ’ d like to ask whether it is correct to partake in the firm ’ s insurance plan ? +If you want my advice , you won ’ t invite yourself any risk . +But people keep talking about the benefits from the plan . +Have you a full-day trip ? +Yes , of course . There are various forms of travel . +Do I have to book the tour right now ? +There is no need . We have the tour everyday . +Are the expressions of sight draft , time draft , usance draft and letter of credit adequate terms to express the different methods of payment ? +No . These terms need to be amplified . +What if the sale is made on the basis of sight draft ? +Then the shipping documents have to be attached . That way , both parties confirm the documents that will accompany the draft and constitute evidence of shipment in compliance with the contract terms . +Therefore , we must be very careful in building up clear expressions and complete understanding on both sides of trade . +Yes , that's very important . +How have you been feeling lately ? +I ’ Ve been feeling a little light-headed lately . +Has your blood pressure been high before ? +If I have high blood pressure , it is news to me . +Usually people with high blood pressure have no symptoms , so we call it the silent killer . +What do you use to check for high blood pressure ? +I am going to put a cuff on you to get a reading . +What does the reading tell you ? +I get an idea of the pressure in your arteries when your heart is pumping blood versus at rest . +I hope that the test results show me to be really healthy . +Miss , may I help you ? +Yes , I just wondered why the price between the ninth and tenth floor is so different . +It's because of the view . +Oh !

Thank you for your help . +You're welcome . +You've got a beautiful singing voice ! +It's this high-tech equipment that doctors my voice a little . Actually , i am tone-deaf . +Come on , You hit the high notes perfectly ! +Well , the echo and the stereo system helped a lot .

We have all the administrative departments Sales , Accounting , Personnel , Market Research and so on . +What's that building opposite us ? +That's the warehouse where the larger items of medical instruments are stored . We keep a stock of the fast-moving items so that urgent orders can be met quickly from stock . ( in the workshop ) This is one of our three workshops . This is the delivery bay here . +Oh , I see . +The steel sheets and bars come in , as you see , in different sizes and are unloaded onto the delivery bay here .

You can change it to a more convenient number if you like . +OK , I ’ Ve entered my PIN . There are several options on the screen . I guess I just choose which service I want , don't I ? +Yes . Choose the service you need to use . If you choose to withdraw money , the machine will ask you how much you want . +I can just enter the amount using the key , right ? +That ’ s right . Give the machine a moment to process you request . Then take your money . +These machines aren ’ t very difficult to use . In fact , I quite like them . They are much faster than dealing with a band clerk . +How have you been doing ? +I can ’ t sleep or eat . I have a really bad pain in my tooth ! +How long have you had this toothache ? +It bothers me off and on , but it ’ s gotten much worse these past few weeks . +Is there anything that you ’ Ve done to your tooth that might have caused the pain ? +My girlfriend told me that I grind my teeth a lot when I sleep . Maybe that is the problem . +When you brush your teeth , what do you use ? +I use a soft bristle toothbrush . +Does it bother you when you have to chew a lot ? +Absolutely . That set it off big time ! +Hello , may I speak to Kevin , please ? +Speaking . +The doctor sent me over here to have my blood drawn . +Certainly , please have a seat and roll up your left sleeve . +What is this test for ? +Well , today your doctor wants us to check your white blood cell count . +What does that tell him ? +Well , if it is elevated , you might have an infection . +Will the blood test hurt ? +It is only a little pin stick . I am going to put a tourniquet on your arm to puff your veins up . +Ouch ! +There we go ! I got the blood that I needed . +Could you please cover for me two hours this morning ? +Sure . Any specific reason I should know about in case people ask where you are . +I have to see the dentist . We have an appointment for this morning from 9 to 11 o ’ clock .

My family actually raises dogs for helping blind people . +Wow , like how do they train the dogs ? +How do they train the dogs ? Well , I mean , it's a long process , right ... we get them when they're puppies ... and so we train them basic ... you know , sit , come ... really basic things ... then , after they're about two year old , they go a different training school . +Well , how many dogs do they train at a time ? +Oh , just one ! We have our own dog , and then we have a dog that we have that we are training . +Do you ever see the dogs you trained , like out on the street , or anything ? +Sometimes we'll see them , they'll have like sort of conventions of reunions of the pets so , yeah , you get to see them once in awhile . +Oh , wow , that's cool . Um , why do people keep pets ? +I guess the most important thing is companionship , right ! So there is always somebody there for you that will like you no matter what . +Yeah , that's true . OK , besides cats , dogs , and fish , what are some other pets people keep ? +Well , I guess if you are Sigrid and Roy you can keep a tiger or lion . I guess all types of things don't they . +I can't find my glasses and I can't see anything . Can you help me find a few things ? +No problem . What are you looking for ? +My laptop , do you see it ? +Yes , your laptop is on the chair . +Where's my book ? +Which one ? +The dictionary . +It's under the table . +Where's my pencil ? +There's a pencil in front of the lamp . +That's not a pencil . That's a pen . +Oh , sorry . There is a pencil behind the cup . +How about my backpack ? Do you know where that is ? +It's in between the wall and the bed . +Where are my shoes ? +They're on the left side of the TV . +I don't see them . +Sorry , I made a mistake . They're on the right side of the TV . +Thanks . +Oh , and here are your glasses . They were next to your cell phone . +Oh ! Is it too hot ? I'm sorry . +Let's blow on it . +OK !

I worked at AB Company . +Why are you interested in the position ? +Because you need a senior production planner who is good at mathematics and fluent in English . I think I am fit for the position . +All right . If we decide to hire you , we'd pay you 5,000 yuan a month at the start . How do you think about it ? +That's very good . +Hi , taxi . +Get in , please . Where to , madam ? +The international airport , please . I have to be there by 8 +I can't promise anything , but I'll try my best . +Oh , that's my stop . How much do I need to pay ? +That'll be 10 dollars , please . +Thanks a lot.here . +What arrangement will you make about payment ? +We shall open an irrevocable L / C to cover our shipment from Shanghai to Hamburg . Is it at sight or after sight ? +At sight of course . +Some customers demand that 80 % of the credit amount be paid at sight , and the rest be paid after the machines are proved satisfactory on trial . +I am afraid that can't be done . We have never done business on such terms . +But such terms are quite common in the machinery trade . Other suppliers are offering better terms . Some even allow payment 60days after sight . +We ask for full payment at sight , because we guarantee 90 % mechanical efficiency for all our products . You don't have the same guarantee from other suppliers . The usual percentage is around 85 . +That's true . I'm eager to know if you could send some fitters to ensure good operation . +Yes . We usually send technicians abroad to offer after-sales service to our customers . +If you send fitters along with the machines to ensure that all the machines run properly , and if you provide after-sales service , we agree to make the payment in full . +Thank you . I am glad we have come to an agreement at last . +Hey Lisa ... want to grab lunch with me ? +Sure , Emily . We haven't done that in a while . +Yeah ... actually , we haven't hung out at all recently . You seem sort of under the weather . Is there something going on ? +Well , keep this under your hat , but I think I'm going to quit after New Year . +Quit this company ? Oh ... wow . +I know I should be pretty happy here , but I'm not finding the kind of job satisfaction I need . I'm a good graphic designer ... +One of the best in the company . +That's kind of you to say . But ... the stuff we do here hasn't really challenged me very much at all . +Oh , I get it . Simply put , you're bored , huh ? +That's one way of putting it . For me , a job needs to stimulate my brain , otherwise it becomes a daily drudgery . +Taxi ! +Where would you like to go ? +Please rush me to the railway station +Get in and close the door . +Can you speed up a bit ? +Sorry . The road is too crowded . +But I have no time to lose . +But I can't help it . +Can you drop me off here ? +Sorry . We mustn't stop here . +I hear that you've got a chance to go to Europe for a half-year training program . Is it true ? +Yes , I'm leaving on the 14th of next month . +Congratulations ! How can you get such a good opportunity to be trained overseas ? +Actually , it is a policy in my company . The human resources management department has connections overseas this year , so we can receive training there . +How nice ! But will you have to pay for the training ? +No . The company pays for everything . Doesn't this sound very attractive ? This is why our company can always get the best employees ! +So awful ! I never fancy my salary is so little . +Oh , don't be so sad . You can ask for a salary raise . +Bingo ! I never thought about that before . I am working so hard and my accomplishment is significant , you know . +So you suppose you deserve a salary raise . +I know I deserve it , but I can not find a way to talk with boss about this . +You ought to point out how valuable you are , and tell her those people who have the same situation also get the salary raise . +That sounds reasonable . +Remember it is the boss who hires you and tell her how much you have improved the office efficiency . +That's a point . It seems a little complicated . I will think about this for a while . I owe you one . After all , you give me an inspiration . +Forget it . Good luck . I hope you can make it . +Welcome back , Sir . I trust the materials were helpful to you ? +Indeed . I've decided to go for the Petty Consumer Loan . That is , if my credit rating is satisfactory . +Your credit is fine , Sir . Now , tell me , what is it that you need the loan for ? +I've just bought a second hand apartment and I'm looking to do some renovations . You know , a bit of decorating , some new furniture , nothing flashy . +I see . And what loan amount are you expecting ? +It says here that the maximum is 20,000 RIB . Is that flexible ? +I'm sorry , Sir . The maximum we can lend you on this type of loan is 20,000 RIB , with no exceptions . +Well , 20,000 RIB , it'll have to be then . +I need some documentation from you . Such as your resident permit , your occupation and salary details and I already have your credit details here . +Everything is right here . If that's all in order , just let me know where I sign . +How do you spend your spare time ? Are you interested in sports ? +I have many hobbies , I like almost all kinds of sports and I also like to listen to pop songs . +Do you think you are introverted or extroverted ? +I think I am extroverted . +It is so wonderful that this transaction turned out to be the satisfaction of both parties . +Yes . We're satisfied with the result . +I hope that we can continue our cooperation . +Good afternoon , Mr Meng . It's a little late for you , isn't it ? +Hello , Miao Ping . Yes , I've been stuck in back to back meetings all day , but I really wanted to come and speak to you . +What can I help you with ? +I'm interested in putting some of my money into investment tools , you know , something other than stocks and such like . Do you have any ideas ? +Mmmm ... yes , many investors don't seem to be into stocks at the moment . Too risky ! How about Open-Ended funds ? +Yes , I've heard about that . Isn't it where many investors pool their money together ? +Exactly . Then each individual has the chance to diversify their portfolio over many different areas , it doesn't have to be stocks . And , we provide a Professional Fund Manager , so you know your investment will be safe with us . +How can you help me to decide which areas to invest in ? +Our Investment Financing Service will help you choose where to put your funds and look at both the pros and cons of each . +Is this the information here ? Well , let's take a look then ... +Looking through your C . V . , I see that you graduated from Oklahoma State University . Can you tell me what training you have had that would specifically relate to the cable television Industry ? +Well , I ’ Ve attended some conferences in this field . But the most relevant training I ’ Ve had was in computer design . I believe I could integrate that knowledge with my college degree to design +I see . Did you have anything specific in mind ? +Well , I notice that you currently provide an on-screen TV Guide . At the moment , it just scrolls the names of the programs in a repeated loop . If you have many channels , you have to wait a long t +That ’ s impressive . How would you make that pay ? +Tie it in with the pay-per-view services , and perhaps it could be a money-maker . +I see you have several good ideas . Now , I just have a few questions about your C . V . I notice that there is a five-year gap between your last job and now . +Yes , I took a break from work during that time . I had a baby , and as she was born with a handicap , I decided to suspend my career . But I have continued to keep up with the Industry through con +So , you ’ re just starting back .

But there are a few rummage sales on Saturday . I think I ’ ll go to them . +Do you mind if I go with you ? +Not at all . These private sales are great places to bargain .

Anything else , sir ? +Not at the moment , thank you . +Let me know if you do need anything . +You see , the bungee participants take a deep breath when they stand at the starting spot and then , like diving , their heads are over heels and they jump off into the realm of the combination of heaven and earth The wind roars at their ears and their bodies rapidly descend . They do not even have enough time to do several gymnastic movements and they are rebounded to the upper air by the cord . +Entrusting life to the care of a rope indeed requires infinite courage . +A young French fellow recalled his first bungee experience and said , When I fastened the cord and walked to the platform , I was extremely nervous . When I looked down , I was nervous even more.If the cord had broken , I would be knocked to bake meat . However , I knew my worries were unwanted . I was afraid if I retreated others might say something about me . I had to harden my heart and impose my head downward . I only felt wind wiring at my ears . My body rapidly descended . I thought that after only seven or eight seconds I was rebounded to upper air by the cord . In fact it was 30 seconds . Maybe because of my nervousness , I only felt seven or eight seconds . When rebounding to the high altitude , I felt a sudden sense of relief . I did not feel nervous very much , but very comfortable . +It is hard to come by in life that you experience this kind of comfortable ! +Hello , is that John ? +Yes . What can I do for you ? +I am calling to tell you some issues about the interview . +The volume is too loud . Would you kindly turn it down a little bit ? +Yes . I think it is now a moderate volume . +Welcome . How can I help you ? +We want to look at some of your products . +This way please . We have a full range of products from cosmetics to skin cleansers . +Could you commend me some moisturizers ? +Your T-zone gets oily easily , but your cheeks are dry in winter . Am I right ? +Yes , that's right . +This " Cream of Olives " is our bestseller for combination skin . You can try it on your hand . +Oh , very good . I will buy this one . +All right . Anything else ? +No . Thank you . +My pleasure . +Stephanie ! Did you just get to school ? But you were up and about when I left the dorm this morning ! That was about an hour and a half ago . This happens all the time ! Why do you always take so long to get ready the morning ? +It ’ s a skill . What can I say ? I don ’ t know why , I just have a long routine . +Please explain because it makes no sense to me . How can a girl ’ s routine be so complicated ? You get up , you shower , you get dressed , you brush your teeth , you ’ re out the door . Half an hour , tops . +Jacob , you have the luxury of having a haircut that rarely needs styling . I don ’ t . I have to set aside about an hour and a half to get ready in the mornings . Every day , I wake up and head straight for the shower . Every second day , I wash my hair . If it ’ s a hair-washing day , I frequently need to wash my hair twice because it gets really oily . Then I usually put in a conditioner and have to rinse that out too . Because my hair is so long , I seldom manage to take a shower in under twenty minutes . Afterwards , I often put on a pot of coffee and get dressed while I wait for it to brew . I take a long time to get dressed in the morning . Every now and then I remember to choose my outfit the night before , but usually I do it in the morning . In all , getting dressed takes about half an hour , at which time my hair is now semi-dry so then I have to style my hair . From time to time I ’ ll put my hair up , but oftentimes I bloody it straight . And then , because of the texture of my hair , I regularly have to flat-iron it to keep it from frizzing . That ’ s another twenty minutes or so . After that , I have my daily makeup routine . +True , I hardly ever see you without your hair done and your makeup on , even when you show up to class in sweatpants . Tell me , how long does it take you to choose that outfit in the morning ? +Not funny . +I have redecorated my bedroom . I decide to repaint the walls and change the pictures . I also bought a new pair of curtains . What do you think of it ? +I think is looks great . I really like the light colors you have chosen . The pictures are nice too . Did you bought any new furniture ? +I bought a new mattress and some fresh bedclothes . I also bought a new dressing table and a new bedside table . +new furniture makes a room seem so fresh . I see that you also bought a new lamp for your bedside table . +do you think that I should get a new wardrobe ? +that wardrobe looks quite big . Is it full of clothes ? +yes . I have so many clothes stuffed into it . Perhaps I should get rid of some of them . There are clothes in there that I never wear anymore . +I like to get rid of clothes that I don ’ t wear rather than keeping them in a wardrobe . They take up too much space . There are several charity shops that you can give old clothes to . They will be +that ’ s a good idea . After I get rid of the old clothes I no longer wear , I can see what new clothes I need to buy . +I need to buy some new clothes for the summer too . Perhaps we can go together one day . +ok . I ’ ll let you know when I ’ Ve sorted out my clothes . +George speaks Japanese better than Frank . +Yet in writing , George has nothing on Frank . +Therefore , I hope they could help each other and learn from each other . +My pal , you are so nervous recently . You don't need to be like that . +I am worried about that Arden will display all my drawbacks in the performance review . That will be embarrassing . +Just use your head . If you were definitely making some big mistakes , you would be informed . +I had a nightmare last night and I dreamt Arden told me that my performance fell short of his expectation . I was terrified to wake up after hearing that . +That is merely a dream . Remember , there is always room for us to have further improvement . I think we did the good job in the whole period . +I know what you are talking about . The performance evaluation process starts from the day we're hired . There is no surprise during the actual review . +Hello , Could I speak to Mary , please ? This is Mrs . Fort here . +This is Mary speaking . +Ah , Mary , good evening . Look , I was wondering if you like to come to a party we are having on Friday ? There are many coming from the office . +Oh , that sounds nice . I ’ d love to . +I have the chills and an upset stomach . +How long have you felt like this ? +For most of the week . +It sounds as if you have a virus . +What do you think I should do ? +I'll give you something . I want you to take it easy and come back in a couple of days . +Good Morning.What can I do for you ? +Good Morning , I have a bad cough , and I want to see an internist . +Do you have a registration card ? +No , I don ’ t . I ' m a tourist . +Then you need to register as a new patient.Can I have a look at you ID card ? I need your name , age , occupation , address and contacting number . +Here you are . +Thanks . Which kind of medicine do you prefer , western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine ? +I ’ d like to try traditional Chinese medicine . I heard it really works quite well if you know what you're doing . +All right . Yes , he does . The registration fee is 7 yuan , please . +Hi , Andy . I am going to Isabel ’ s . Are you coming ? +No . The things are too expensive there for me . I can't afford it . +That is no problem at all . Isabel ’ s is having a clearance sale , and today is the last day .

She saw the evening gown made of silk last month that she wanted to buy very much . She didn't buy it of course . It would cost her three months ’ salary . +She already bought that evening gown . +When ? +Yesterday . She wore that gown last night , and showed it off to everybody at Mr . Mile ’ s party . +Oh ? Isn't that like her . +Hurry up , will you ? We ’ ll have to go to the gas station first . +All right , all right . I am ready to go . Let's go ! +Hey there ! I ’ Ve been hoping to run into you .

I immigrated here three years ago . +Have you been used to your new life ? +Yes , I love my new life . +Did you see the news today ? +I haven't had a chance to see it . +You know about the blackout last night , right ? +The lights were out everywhere . +A bunch of people went looting last night . +They what ? +They took full advantage of the lights being out . +That's crazy . +The news reported that four stores were broken into . +Were the looters found ? +The police don't know who did it . +I hope this doesn't happen again . +Who is on duty ? +I am , sir . +Your duty is to keep a check on those prisoners from now on . +Yes , sir . +Let's cross here . +You're kidding . We'll never make it across in one piece ! Let's cross at the light . +Now we have to walk all the way down to the end of the street . +If you want to cross here , be my guest . I don't feel like dodging cars and scooters ! +Sir , may I please see your license and registration ? Do you know how fast you were going ? +No , I'm not sure . I think about 65 mph , right ? +You're not sure ? You were going at 90 miles per hour ! That's 25 mph over the legal speed limit ! Have you been drinking ? +No , Officer , not at all . +Then how can you explain your behavior ? +Well , I guess I just wasn't paying attention to the speedometer . +Not paying attention to the speedometer ? Why not ? +Um , because I was busy talking to my friend . +On a cell phone ? +Yes , I was using a cell phone . I just bought it , so I decided to give my friend a phone call to tell him about it . While I did that I also turned on the radio and was listening to one of my favorite songs , and eating some food I had bought at a fast food restaurant , and , um ... guess I had too many distractions . +That's definitely true . I'm going to have to give you a ticket . Please remember to drive more carefully next time . +Paul ? I need to work out a time to get together with your people . +Does everybody need to be there ? Hilary and Jason are on vacation this week . +It would be best if everybody could be there . How about next week sometime ? +Let me take a look at the schedule . I ’ ll get back to you this afternoon , all right ? +Can I help you , sir ? +Yes , I'm checking out . +Can I have your key and room number , please ? +Room 1419 . Here's my key . +Here's your bill , sir . Could you please check it ? +It's all right . Please charge it to my credit card . +Here you are , sir . You're all set . I hope you enjoyed your stay . And that next time you're in town , you will stay with us again . +I will . Where can I leave my luggage ? I really want to leave after lunch . +The bell captain will put it in the storage room . When you're ready to leave , you can claim your luggage from him . +Thanks very much . And good-bye . +I like the Honda Accord you showed me before . I think it's more practical for my needs . +Alright , sir . You are making a good choice.Honda has made a lot of design improvements in the new Accord . +What does it come with standard ? +On all our new cars , the standards includeair conditioning , anti-lock brakes , air bags , and an AM / FM stereo with a CD player.But on the Accord , there is another standard item as well.The Accord com +Cruise control ? I don't like that . +Why not , sir ? +I think it's dangerous . What if I can't turn it off ? +Well , sir , I know some of our customers are concerned about cruise control.But Honda has never had a single cruise control malfunction that led to an accident . +I wish it didn't have cruise control . My wife doesn't like it either . +You know , sir , you don't have to use it.You can turn it on or off . If you don't want to use it , you just never turn it on . +I suppose . And what about the sunroof ? Is that standard ? +No , the sunroof is optional , sir . +I see . Another important question is the time I can get this car . I need a new car rather soon . +Well , I can say that the new models will be here in August.If you order one now , we will have it for you in August . +That's good enough , I think . What colors does the new Accord come in ? +We have this new model in red , white , black , or silver.These are the standard colors.Of course you could specially order from various other colors too . +My brother has last year's Accord.And his car is a kind of soft purple color mixed with silver . I really like that color . I wonder if I can get that color on my Accord . +I know the color you mean . Is this it , sir ? +Yes , I think that's it . Can I get that on the Accord ? +Yes , you can.That color is very popular with Honda buyers . So we've kept it available . +Well , I think I want to order the new Accord then.It looks like an excellent car . +You have made a good choice , sir . I drive an Accord myself . They are very solidly built machines , very reliable . +Yes , I know . I think Honda is the most reliable car on the road . I would never change to anything else.The Honda I have now almost never has service problems . It runs smooth as silk . +Alright , sir . I will get the paperwork ready for you . Just a moment . +Good morning . sir . How may I serve you today ? +I'd like a cup of mocha . +Sure . Large or medium ? +Medium , please . +Anything else to go ? +Yeah . give me a chocolate bar also . +You've got it . +Please have them wrapped . I'll take them away . +Sure . It's seven eighty-nine . +Here's eight dollars . Keep the change . +Thank you , sir . Have a nice day . +Could I help you on your new project ? +I have a need for help with writing and also a need for help with the computer work . Which would you prefer ? +I want to help with both . +That would be wonderful . Sometimes we will be working together and sometimes independently . Would that be OK ? +Most of the time that is what I prefer . +We start on Monday . Can you be there ? +I am not sure yet . +I need your background information before the meeting . +I will do that . +I'll enjoy working with you . Have a great day ! +To start with , may I know why you are interested in working for our company ? +First , as far as I know , your company has had an impressive growth record . Second , I want to get into the foreign trade business . +Now you are with Quandong Company . What is your chief responsibility there ? +I'm in charge of marketing activities in South-East Asia , for example , organizing trade conferences and arranging exhibitions . +Do you have any questions about the job ? +Yes . Are there chances for employees to be transferred to overseas branches of the company ? +Certainly . This is an international company , and ther're good chances for you to work overseas . +That would be good . +Ouch ! I just bit my tongue . +Oh , that hurts . +I think it's bleeding . +Hello , miss . I would like to check out . +Well , sir . If you want to check out now , we will charge you $ 200 as well . +Why ? I have stayed for 3 nights . +Well , the check out time is 12:00 o'clock everyday , if you checked out after 15:00 , we have to charge you for another day . +Excuse me , do you serve breakfast here ? +Sure , you want a continental one or an American one ? +An American one , please . I am in a hurry . +OK , sir , yours will be ready in a few seconds . +What do you want , Essie ? +A cup of coffee and an apple pie . How about you ? +I don't want coffee . I'd like some orange juice . +Why don't you drink coffee ? +I don't like coffee in this cafe . +It does taste weird . +Most people think so . +What's the problem , sir ? +I bought this toy gun from your store two weeks ago . My son played with it only twice and it broke . +Do you keep the receipt ? +Yes , and I have the warranty , too . +What do you want me to do about it ? +I'd like you to replace this one without charge if you can . +Alison , would you like to have some more ? +No , thanks . I've had enough . +Actually you haven't had much . +To tell you the truth , I am on a diet . +That sounds ridiculous . Why ? +Well , I am gaining weight these days , and I have to watch my calories . +Do you have any tables ? +Yes . We've got plenty of tables in stock . Will you have a look at this one ? +It's a nice color , and the style is not bad , but a bit too small . I'd like to get a slightly larger one . +How about this one ? +Mmm , I like it . How much is it ? +Seventy US dollars . +Here is the money . Could you deliver this to my house ? +Of course . We are always at your service . +Here is my name card . Thanks . +You are welcome . +Well , what did you think about the last candidate ? Do you think we should hire her ? +She had a very impressive resume , but she seemed to lack the confidence that I think a good manager needs . +What made you think that she wasn't very confident ? +Did you notice the way that she avoided making eye contact with us while she talked ? +She was a bit nervous , I guess . What else ? +When she first walked into the room to greet us , she didn't shake our hands or introduce herself at all . I thought that was a bit unprofessional . +you're right . If she walked into meetings with our clients like that , it would make our company look bad , wouldn't it ? +It sure would . Did you also notice the way she slouched in her chair during most of the interview ? She had horrible posture ! +I agree . I guess I was paying more attention to her answers than her body language . +On top fo all of that , she didn't seem to have any sense about people's personal space . she didn't keep enough distance between us when during the meeting . +That's true . I guess we'll have to keep looking for a manager then . +Don't worry , we'll find someone eventually ! +Fill it up with regular , please . +All right . Should I take a look at your battery ? +No , thanks . I'm in a hurry . How much is it ? +¥ 200 , please . +My throat is really dry . +Do you want to go get something to drink ? +Yes , I'm parched . +What did you want to drink ? +I was thinking about getting a soda . +Do you know that soda doesn't quench your thirst ? +Why not ? +Soda is really bad for you . +I don't know what else to drink . +You're supposed to drink water when you're dehydrated . +I would like some water . +That's what will keep you from being thirsty . +I have a feeling you will get this job . +Thanks . But I'm not so sure . Interviews stress me out . +Just remember to be professional and polite . Oh , and don ’ t forget to smile . +I ’ ll do my best , but sometimes I have trouble being myself in stressful situations . +Have you updated your resume recently ? +Yes ... ah ! I forgot to include my e-mail address . +You ’ d better double-and-triple check it . You don ’ t want to have any embarrassing typos on your resume . Otherwise , you might shoot yourself in the foot . +I ’ ll be sure and do that . I also need to pick out the right suit , shirt , and tie for this interview . +Definitely . Oh , do you have a reference letter ? +Sort of . I prepared a list of all the people who can vouch for my experience and good work ethic . +I ’ m included on your list of references , right ? My praise of you could really make a difference . +Sorry , you ’ re not on it . I don ’ t think using my brother as a reference would be very convincing ! +Lindsay Tipping gave me your name as a reference . We are considering hiring her as an editor for our magazine . +Lindsay , of course , I will be more than happy to recommend her to you . +How long was she employed with your company ? +She freelanced with us for 3 years . She was always consistent and punctual with her assignments and a pleasure to work with . +Freelance , hmm . How do you think she will manage in an office environment ? +She ’ s a consummate professional and a team-player . I have utmost confidence in her abilities . You can ’ t go wrong in hiring her . +Hello . Do you have anything for a little girl ? +Well , we have some new Barbie dolls . +That's a great idea . Show me the Barbie dolls . +Here's one — the new , beautiful Digital Barbie . This doll is hot ! +How lovely ! How much is she ? +It's only $ 29.95 . +No problem . Let me have one . +That's great . Anything else ? +No , thank you . That's all I need at the moment . +The grand total is $ 32.42 . How would you like to pay ? +I'll give you cash . +Thank you so much for shopping here . Here's your change and receipt . +I'd like to have internet on my computer . +Do you know what kind of internet you would like to get ? +What are my options ? +You can either get dial-up or DEL . +Which one would you recommend ? +DEL is the best choice . +Why is DEL better ? +It's a lot better because it doesn't tie up your phone line . +What exactly does that mean ? +Well , with dial-up your internet is connected by your phone line . +That means that I can't use my phone and the internet at the same time , right ? +That's right . You won't have that problem with DEL . +So , now I need your help again , if you don't mind . I'm taking a date to a restaurant . +I'd love to help you ! What is your budget for the dinner ? +She strikes me as being very sophisticated . Only the best will do for her . +Well , what do you think about our very own hotel restaurant ? It is very upscale , with a three-star rating . +I don't want to be cooped up in my own hotel tonight . How about another restaurant ? +The Gramercy Tavern is highly rated . It has great food and live jazz , but it's not cheap . +Yes , that sounds like a winner . Would you please call them to reserve a table ? +I'm already dialing , sir . +Would you like a lift home ? +That would be great . Thanks ! +Can I get you any dessert ? +Yes , I'd like to try the blueberry pie . +Excellent choice . ( He brings her the pie . After she finishes , the waiter comes back . ) Would you like anything else ? +No , I'm stuffed . I'm ready for the check . +Here you are . Thank you and have a nice evening . +Thank you . +Do you like Barry ? +No , not very much . He's too ambitious and dishonest . +I agree . I like his brother Paul . They are not alike . +Yes . They are completely different . Paul is very sociable and much more honest than his brother . +What kind of person do you consider yourself to be ? +I think I'm polite , careful , relaxed and shy . +Oh , I don't think you're shy ! You are always chatting with new people when we go to a party . +Well . Yes , but those people always start talking to me . I never talk to them first.Perhaps I'm not as shy as I think . Anyway , you're certainly not shy ! +You're right . I love going out and making new friends . +So , you'll be at my birthday party on Friday ? +Of course ! +Have you given the puppies anything to eat today ? +I fed them earlier today . +Great ! Could you please bathe them later ? +Okay , I'll do that later . +Thank you ! Remember that they go to the vet this Saturday . +I know . What time is their appointment ? +We need to have them there at 11 +I got it . I will remember . +Hi , is that Jason ? +Yes . What can I do for you ? +I am calling to let you know that you are expected to come for an interview in our branch . +That's cool . What documents do I need to carry ? +You can bring life photos , recommendation letters and certificates . +I came here to get a chest X-ray . +I will need you to take your clothes off from the waist up and put on the gown , leaving the opening in the back . +What comes next ? +I will need you to face this glass plate right over here . +Should I do anything else ? +Your arms need to be raised to shoulder height . +Is this OK ? +So far , so good . +How come you are walking away ? +I am not leaving . I just need you to take a really deep breath , hold it , and then let it out . +Will I be finished then ? +You will be able to put your clothes on as soon as I have checked the film . +I'd like to check out . +Have you settled the bill ? +No . I'd like to do that now . +OK , 400 Yuan please . +Do you have a free moment ? +Sure , what do you need ? +I am having some trouble . How do you use this printer ? +Well . First you have to turn this switch on . +Silly me . +Now press this button . +Oh , and it's out of paper . Do you have any more ? +Just a second . I'll go get some . +I would like to buy one round trip plane ticket to Hong Kong , please . +For what days , madam ? +Leaving on September 5th and returning to New York City on October 9th . +Do you prefer an aisle or a window seat ? +I prefer to sit next to a window . +How would like to pay ? +I have a Master Card . +I have booked you for one window seat on American airline flight No . 409 . Have a good trip ! +Body language in the interview is closely related to the job-hunter's image . +Surely it is . +You should look the interviewer in the eye so as to show that you are carefully listening to him . +You can nod or ask questions at the right time to show that you have already understood or you are quite interested in his words . +When you are seated , bent forward a little with your hands crossed , to show you respect the interviewer . +Don't move from time to time . It is very impolite and will make you nervous . +Proper posture can show your confidence . +The best would be you have a smile on your face in the interview to win a good impression of the interviewer . +Pay attention to keeping eye contact as well . +Throughout the interview you should maintain patience . +In a word , you should keep decent manners in the interview . +Only in this way can you leave the interviewer a good impression and achieve success . +Hello , Elizabeth . How are you ? +Fine , thanks . +Are you sure you're all right ? You look a bit worried today . Is anything wrong ? +Well , yes , there is something wrong actually . Perhaps you can give me some advice . +Of course , if I can . +Well , last night when I returned from the theatre , I found that I'd lost my wallet . +Oh dear ! That's terrible ! What was in your wallet ? +Well , some money . of course , my visa , all my identity cards and some photos . +Well , if were you , I'd go to the police station straight away and report it . +Yes , I've already done that , and they said they'd look for it . But we're leaving soon and I need my visa and identity cards badly . +Oh dear ! What a pity ! Are you sure you lost the wallet in the theatre ? +Yes , quite sure . +I think you should put an advertisement in the China Daily , saying when and where you lost it . +But that takes too long . +Wait a minute ! My uncle lives in Beijing and he lives very close to the theatre . I'll telephone him and ask him to go there to inquire about it . You'd better have breakfast now and I'll meet you later . +Good morning . Sales Division . Alex speaking . +Alex . It ’ s Nancy over in Marketing . I ’ Ve got some good news for you . +Oh yeah ? I could use some . What ’ s up ? +Mr . Morris was so pleased with your sales work on his account that he went straight to the top with it . He wrote a letter about it to Mr . Macmillan ! +Could you give me an expense report ? I would like to attach the invoices for my phone bill this season . +Here you are . Do you need glue ? +That is very kind of you . I ’ m just running out of glue . +You ’ re welcome . +Hi , Francis , morning ! How are you doing today ? +I had a bad start of the day . I was stuck in a bad traffic jam on my way and I missed my morning meeting . +Indeed , I agree that is not a good start . How about the meeting ? You missed anything important ? +It is ok . My boss briefs me later on . +Was he unhappy with you not attending the meeting ? +Err , kind of . You know this traffic jam is really bad with so many new cars hitting the streets these days . +is that your rabbit ? +yes , I just adopted her from the humane society this weekend . +that's good of you . why did you decide to get a rabbit . +well , i wanted to get a pet that wouldn't disturb the neighbors . at the same time , I wanted a pet that would be affectionate . +rabbits aren't usually that affectionate , are they ? +if you cuddle them a lot when they are very young , they can be just as affectionate as dogs or cats . +i didn't know that . Are rabbits difficult to take care of ? +not really . I went to the veterinarian to get her vaccinated and she told me that all I needed to do was to make sure to trim its nails from time to time , to give her food and water , and to clean its +that sounds pretty easy . Do rabbits make your house smell ? +No , rabbits aren't very stinky . As long as your clean the cage on a regular basis , it's not too bad . +can you train a rabbit to do things ? +you can't train them like you can train dogs , but you can train them to do some things . For example , you can train them to go the bathroom in a special rabbit toilet . +that's amazing ! Has she bitten you yet ? +not yet . She's pretty tame . I think she must be used to being around lots of different people . +Excuse me , but could you tell me if this bus goes to the National History Museum ? +No , it doesn't . There's no through bus to the National History Museum , madam . +I see . Where do I have to change then ? +You can transfer Fuchengmen . +How far is it ? +Well , it's only three stops from here . +I see . Thanks a lot . +You're welcome . +Excuse me , do you go to the Central Park ? +Yes , this is the right bus . +Could you please tell me when I get to the Central Park ? +Don't worry . I'll call out the stops . +( A few minutes later . ) Should I get off at the next stop ? +No , don't worry . I'll get you off when you get there . +Is it a long ride ? +No , not that long . Two more stops , and you'll get off , sir . +OK . I know . Thank you . +Not at all . +Hi Steve . What do you think of the new supplier ? +We haven't had any problems so far . They offer a 24 - hour technical back-up service . We've called them in three times this month . They always arrive within a couple of hours . +That's good service . Do we have to pay extra for that ? +No . There's no call-out fee . It's included in the annual service contract . +Bill , where are we going to stay tonight ? +What about a motel ? +What's that ? +It's a hotel but cheaper and offers free parking . +Well , that sounds good , I have never lived in a motel . +Then let's stay in a motel . I am sure you will like it . +Oh , man . I had the best supper last night . My wife made a stir-fry and it was amazing ! +I love stir fry crispy bitesize vegetables covered in a mixture of soy sauce and oyster sauce . Wilted greens and fresh bean sprouts . Throw in some onion and garlic and ginger ! Mmm ! Mmm ! It ’ s almost lunchtime . I would die for a plate of stir fry right now ! +Well , you can keep the vegetables , I ’ ll take the meat . The stir fry my wife made was really hearty , with chunks of beef and slivers of bell peppers and onion ... +What ? You call that a stir fry ? More meat than vegetables ? That ’ s the worst insult you could throw at a Chinese stir fry . What a disgrace to the wok she fried it in ! What you had is equivalent to a fajita without the wrap ! +What do you plan on making as a side dish for dinner ? +I was planning on making some kind of vegetable . +Do you know what kind ? +What kind of vegetable do you want ? +I wouldn't mind eating some corn . +How do you want it ? +What do you mean ? +I can boil it , grill it , or microwave it . +You should throw some corn on the grill . +Is that really what you want ? +That sounds good . +I guess I can do that . +Do you mind if I smoke ? +Go right ahead . +I wonder if you could help me ? +Of course , what's the problem ? +Could you take a picture of me to my friend ? +Sure thing . +Where's the nearest tailor's ? +There is one just around the corner . +The jacket is tight in the shoulders and long in the sleeve . What about the price there ? +The price is moderate , but their work is sometimes not satisfactory . +Is there a better tailor's around here ? +No , there is not , as far as I know . +Where do you live ? +I live in Beijing . +What's your permanent address ? +My permanent address is Apt . 401 , 238 Zhongshan Road , Beijing . +Where is your birthplace ? +My birthplace is Suzhou . +Where is your domicile ? +My domicile is Beijing . +Give me your telephone number , please . +( My telephone number is ) 139xxxxx345 . +I can't get into my room . I mean I left my room key inside . +I see , sir.Those two ladies in front of your room did the same thing twenty minutes ago . +Oh , did they ? Well , would you give us an extra key to the room ? +I'm afraid we have no extra key.So I'll send somebody to your room . +By the way , what should I do with the key when I go out ? +Please drop it at the front desk when you leave tie hotel . +This is my favourite restaurant . +It looks very nice and the food looks delicious . +Yes , there might be some food you have never eaten before . +Really ? +Oh yes . Like this , for example . Have you ever eaten jellyfish before ? +No , I haven ’ t . I have never eaten jellyfish before . +What about these ? Have you ever tried pig ’ s brains ? +No , I have not and I ’ m not sure I want to try them now . +Here is my boarding pass.Can you tell me where my seat is ? +Follow me and I will lead you to your seat . +Thank you . Can you please put my luggage in the overhead bin for me ? +Of course . +Thanks so much . +Excuse me , How do I get to the Grand hotel ? +I am sorry , I didn ’ t catch what you said . Could you repeat it please ? +The Grand hotel , is it far from here ? +Sorry , my English isn ’ t so good . Could you speak a little slower ? +Well Mr . Black , I appreciate your interest in our company , but I doubt you can do this job properly . +I ’ m sure I can do it well . I ’ Ve always wanted to be the best in whatever I did . Give me a chance . +I wish I could . But you even don ’ t have a B . A , so I ’ m sorry to say there ’ s no chance . +You ’ re questioning my ability ? I tell ya , I can make it ! I ’ ll talk to your boss . +Mr . Black , I don ’ t think my boss will talk to you . It ’ s a Chinaman ’ s chance . +You think so ? Let ’ s take a chance ! +Can I go to my room , now ? +Yes , just follow the porter , Mr.Wilson . +Thank you , sir . +How about the repair fee ? +It's for free , because your computers are still in the period of guarantee--two years . +Great ! When can your technicians come to our factory ? +They are working in another factory to provide maintenance right now . Let me call them and see whether they have solved the problem . Please wait a moment . +I've just contacted our technicians . They say they can go to your factory tomorrow afternoon . Can you tell me your factory's address , so they can find you easier ? +That's wonderful . I appreciate your efficiency and cooperation . +To provide the As excellent after-sales service is our motto . Please wait for our maintenance staff in your factory tomorrow afternoon . They will be there on time . +Thank you again ! +Can you drive ? +Yes , I have a driving license . +Are you willing to drive yourself if the job requires ? +Sure . +One more thing , if you are wanted in this position , you must prepare to travel aboard frequently . +That's fine with me . +Would you mind relocating ? +As long as it isn't too far from this city , I don't mind . +It ’ s quite far away , though it's located in another part of the city . Are you planning to find a boarding house nearby ? +I think I can commute that far without any trouble . +Good . Do you have any particular conditions that you want us to take into consideration ? +No , nothing in particular . Thank you . +Then you'll need to know it's a hard job . You'll often have to work overtime or even on weekends . +Yes , but I don't mind working hard . +Who's calling , please ? +This is John . +What is it , John ? +I wonder if I can use your bike . +I'm sorry , I've lost my tags and receipt . What can I do about it ? +I see . What is your baggage ? And do you remember the tag's number or color ? +It's a suitcase . Its colour is blue . +Could you give me a description of your case ? +It's like this , it's square with a leather cover . +I'll check it for you . I've found it . Is this yours ? +Yes , it is the right one +Will you show me your key card , please ? +Here it is . +All right . Now you can take your case away +Ann ! Don ’ t you see the children are making so much noise here ? Why don ’ t you keep them occupied and out their mother ’ s hair ? +OK ! What about taking them outside and flying a kite . +Good idea ! Well , Joan , I have something important to tell you . +Ann , it's terrible ! +What's up ? +Look , this is a pimple ! +Oh , I think it is . +How come ? +I think it's because of your bad habits ! +I have no bad habit . I sleep eight hours a day , never eat spicy food , clean the face twice a day and so on . I have done a lot . +I know you have done a lot , but you always sleep very late . Sleeping eight hours a day doesn't mean it is healthy . Sleeping after 12 is hurtful to our body , and I think this is your problem . +I wasn't aware of that ! +You should do better later . +I am afraid the label is not quite suitable for this locality . Could you quote us for the order with neutral cases ? +I am afraid not . We usually design the label ourselves . You know we should be responsible for the brand labels of our goods . +In that case , we'd like you to make some changes in the labeling . +What are they ? +First , the languages on the label should be in both English and French . Second , the red color doesn't suit our national customs . Could you print the label in some light colors such as yellowish or bluish ? +That can be easily done . Is there anything else ? +The brand name and the nice artwork need not be changed , but the net weight must be placed on the lower part of the panel . +We'll get the factory to meet your requirements . +Thanks for your help . +I am interested in buying a house and need some information . +Yes , of course . What area are you interested in ? +I am interested in Pasadena or Arcadia . +What size house would you like ? +We need a medium-sized house with at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms . +Are you interested in being in a particular school district ? +Yes , we want to stay in the ABC School District . +Would you like a home near the lake or would you prefer a view ? +I would love to have a home with a view . +Fine , I will begin a search for the perfect home for you . I will call you in a few days . +Can you hold the end of this tape measure ? +Sure .

I'm trying to find the way to my daughter's home . +Please tell me where your daughter's home is . +Her home is between the China hotel and Li Sheng Theater . +Turn right at the second traffic light and you will see it on your left . +I'm grateful to you . +It's a pleasure . +How is your job search 1 going , Janet ? +I found the ideal position . I ’ m working for a plumbing company . +Are you serious ? You studied mathematics at college for four years , and now you have a job working with your hands ! +Plumbing work requires mathematics knowledge , and creativity .

How long have you been like this ? +I am not very sure . Maybe for three days . +Do you have any stomachache ? +I guess so . It comes and goes . +Open your mouth and say ah ... God , you are suffering from the swelling of tonsils . +Is that serious , doctor ? +Yes , I am sure that you got the flu . You need a shot . +Oh , doctor . Do I have to ? I am afraid of needles ! +Yes , that's for sure . But it is not that bad . It's gonna be all right . +Oh , doctor , please ... +Be brave , young man . Only girls cry when given an injection . +You are right .

It's better to wait than to climb with my legs broken . +Daddy , look ahead in the distance , the mountains there . They roll all the way up to the sky . +Yeah , the scenery is beautiful . What's more , the air is fresh here ? +So you wanna stay here ? +Of course not , I have to watch my American Idol . +What can I do to help you ? +I have some extra help with my project . What would you prefer to help me with , typing or xeroxing ? +I could do some typing for you . +That is very kind of you to offer to do that . Can you start with the pages on the table ? +Sure I will get to do that right now . +I like your positive attitude . How many years have you been employed here ? +I have worked here long time . +We have a really interesting project coming up . Would you want to join us on it ? +I'm not sure .

It is a famous restaurant in the city . +I'm afraid there must be a lot of people there . +I think so . I think you'd better make a phone call to see whether there is a table available . +But we don't know the telephone number . +Here is a tourist guidebook . You can look it up in the book . +You are so kind ! Thank you very much . +It's a pleasure . +Pardon me . Does your hotel have a fitness facility ? +Yes , sir . We try to anticipate all our guests ' needs , including fitness . +Great ! Where is it ? +Sir , the gym is just below the lobby . You can take the elevator or the stairs . +Do I have to pay extra ? +No , sir . It's gratis . Just take your room key so you can get in . +What are the gym hours ? +You'll be happy to know that it's open 24/7 . +Great ! Is a trainer available ? +I'm sorry , but no . We used to have a trainer , but then he had an unfortunate accident . +How do you think the report I wrote ? +Not bad . But there is more room for improvement . +I jumped the gun . +There were some gaps in your report . Please be more sorrow . +Yes , I overlooked some facts . I ’ ll be more sorrow . +Excuse me . Do you know how to get to the mall ? +Sure , I used to work there . Go straight for about a mile , then turn left at the light . The mall will be on the right . +Do you know the address ? +Yes , the address is 541 Main street . +Can you write it down for me please ? +No problem . +Is it faster if I take Highland avenue ? +No , that way is longer . There are more stop lights on that street . +I think you're right . Thank you . +Excuse me , sir . Can I help you ? +Yes , I'm looking for a book on Chinese history . +This is the house I want to rent . +Could you tell me the advantages of it ? +No problem . First , it's comfortable and cozy . Second , it has a lovely view of the city . Third , it has all kinds of electric appliances that we need , such as refrigerator , electric stove , heating apparatus , washing machine and dishwasher . Forth is the most important , the electricity is free of charge . Finally , it's located in the center of the city and the transportation is convenient . +There is something in what you said , but what is the rent ? +200 dollars per week . +In my opinion , the rent is far more expensive than that in other areas . +It certainly is . But to tell you the truth , the room is so large that I can share it with someone else , and that will decrease the total amount of the rent . +Your intention is good , but I still can't agree with you . If no one would like to share it with you , you have to pay it all by yourself . +Don't you think I can save some bus fares since it ’ s easy to go anywhere from here and it ’ s near the place where I work ? +I agree with you in this way . But how often do you go to work or shopping per week ? +Twice a week for work and once for shopping . +In my opinion , you have to go to the university every day , and the fare would cost you most of your living expenses if you live here far away from the university . +That's true . Ok , I will think about it . +You ran the stop sign . May I see your driver's licence , please ? +Oh , I'm sorry . I didn't see the stop sign at the corner . I didn't mean it . +That doesn't justify your violation . May I see your licence , please ? +Oh , sorry , I don't have it on me . Honestly , I forgot it at the house . But I have the insurance policy with me . Here it is . +Well , sir , your insurance looks good , but I still have to write you a ticket . +I understand , officer . I guess it's just not my day today . I will accept the fine . +Tell me , Mr . Han . What do you suggest if we establish long term business relations ? +Surely it's a sound idea , Mr . Joey . But I have a few questions for you first . +I am all ears . +First , can I know something about your financial situations ? +Sure . As for our financial situation , you can inquire about them in the national bank . They handle all our financial documents . +Thank you . And how is your business in the clothing business circle ? +A very good question . It's very honorable for me to tell you that our business relations cover all over the world and they all have very good business reputation . +Then what do you deal with ? +We deal with kid's clothing , women's clothing , and men's clothing . You name it we deal with it . +That's nice . They provided us with convenient choice . +As for the regular customers , we have some favorable terms for them . +I'd like to hear that . +For the substantial regular customers , we offer 5 % commissions . +That sounds attractive , all right , how about that we sign a one year contract ? +Fabulous . I will get the contract ready shortly . +Excuse me . I'd like to cash the traveler's check . +No problem . How would like your money ? +In tens and fifties , please . +Here you are . Please sign your name here . +OK , thank you . +Hi , I ’ m the superintendent of this building . What can I do for you ? +Hi , I ’ m Paul . Could you show me the apartment on the first floor ? +Sure . Let ’ s go . +I like this one . How much is the rent ? +$ 850 a month . +Does the rent include utilities ? +No . Utilities are extra . +Where ’ s the laundry room ? +It ’ s on the other side of this floor . +What ’ s your rule about pets ? +We allow one or two pets but you have to pay a $ 300 deposit . +How come ? +If your pet ruins the apartment walls or carpet we ’ ll keep your pet deposit . If not , we ’ ll return your deposit when you move out . But be careful , we don ’ t allow pet snakes in the apartment . +who takes care of bug control ? +We do . We will spray the apartments before you move in . +Thank you very much for taking your time . I ’ m still deciding . I will call you tomorrow . +Will you tell me the situation ? +I was in my friend's room , talking for an hour or so . +And then ? +I came back to my room and found my suitcase was open and my camera and five hundred dollars in cash inside the wallet were gone . +I'm afraid you must give up the cash . Are you insured ? +Yes , this is my overseas travel accident insurance card . +I'll make a report for you and please claim this to the insurance company with this report . +Mr.Sellers ? It's Steven speaking , your tenant . We've just suffered a power failure.What should I do now ? +All right , Steven . Do you have a flashlight ? +Yes , I do . +OK , now go down to the basement and find the circuit box . Open it and check if there are any fuses blown out . +How do I know if it's blown out ? +You'll see it's black and has burnt smell . +Then what shall I do ? +Unscrew the burnt fuses and replace them with the good ones . You can find them on the rack in the basement . +OK , I'll try . I'll call you again if that doesn't work . +Can I bring you anything else ? +No , thank you . Just the check . +Let me get this . +No , it is my treat . +Are you sure ? +Yes , I owed you for last time . +All right . If you insist . Next time it is on me , though . +Verry sorry to have kept you waiting so long . What do you want , Madam ? +I want haircut and perm . +How long would you like your haircut today ? +Just cut a little off . +You wanna tight , medium or naturally curly perm ? +I'd like to have medium . +How about you hair style ? +Can you tell me my choices ? +Well , with perm we can do very kinds patterns such as bob , chocolate hairstyle or bang.Which do you prefer ? +I want the chocolate one . I want to have it the big waves . +It looks wonderful . +Turn the chair I can see myself in the mirror . +What do you think of it ? +Beautifully done , many thanks . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Do you have Chinese medicine here ? +Yes.we have herb medicine and ready-made medicine . +Can I have this prescription filled here ? +Sorry , sir . The angelica is out of stock now . +I want to check out today . My plane leaves at 3 p . m . +Which room are you staying in now , sir ? +I am in Room 205 . My name is Bill Smith . When shall I check out ? +Usually if you are leaving today , you'd better check out before 12 noon , and leave the room . If you check out after 12 noon , we will count one day more . +Oh , I didn't know that . +Since your plane leaves at 3 p . m . it will be too early for you to leave the hotel at 12 0 ' clock . We can arrange you to stay in the room until 1 p . m . ; but first you should still check out before 12 noon . +That's very considerate of you . May I have my bill ? +Yes , sir . Here it is . +How much is it ? +Your bill comes to 60 dollars . How would you like it to be paid ? With cash or credit card ? +I'd like it to be charged to my credit card . +Would you please give to me , and will imprint it ? +Show me your passport and declaration please . +Here you are . +Do you have anything to declare ? +Yes , that's a video camera . +Let me have a look at the receipt . +I am calling to apply to work in your agency of entry . +OK .

Why is it so high ? +The bill is itemized , so take some time to look through it and make sure we ’ Ve charged you for the correct services . Most of your extra charges were for phone calls and room service . +What ’ s this here – “ house stock ” ? +That ’ s the mini-bar . Each day we check what ’ s missing and restock it . The items you consume are put on your bill . +I had no idea – and look at these charges for movies ! +Those are for pay-per-view movies .

Stephen must leave for Hong Kong right away . +How about Friday afternoon ? +That will be fine . +Did you hear the news ? +What happened ? +Our cousin went into labor and had her baby last week . +She did ? Why didn't anyone tell me ? +I would've thought that somebody would have told you . +No , I had no idea . +Well , she did , her baby was 8 pounds 6 ounces . +Oh my God , that's great ! +Are you going to go and visit her and the baby ? +I think that I might . +Good ! I just thought I'd let you know . +Thanks for telling me . +Didn ’ t you punch in this morning , Monica ? +Sorry , I don ’ t know the rule about punching . +That ’ s ok . I should have told you earlier . This is a company rule . +Do we also need to punch out after work ? +According to the company rule , we should punch in before 8 o ’ clock and punch out after 5 o ’ clock every work day . +How about the lunch break , Lucy ? +From 11:30 to 1 o ’ clock . +May I ask whether we need to work overtime ? +Sometimes , but not quite often . +Could you give some information on your European tours ? +Our pleasure . We have several package tours you may choose , from ten days to three weeks in Europe . +I would be interested in a ten-day trip around Christmas time . +I have one ten-day tour that is still available . It will depart from New York on December 24th . +What is the cost ? +The price for one person for a ten-day tour is only 1,099 US dollars , which includes round trip airfare . +That sounds reasonable . Let me think it over . And I'll call your back to make reservation . +Ok , but don't delay too long , or that trip will be all booked . +Are you through with your meal ? +Yes , we are . Could we have the check , please ? +Here is your check , 86 dollars in all . Can I take care of it here when you are ready ? +Do you accept checks ? +No , I'm sorry we don't .

Don ’ t tell me you ’ Ve still got Christmas cards to write , it usually takes my wife a month to write all of ours . +No , I did that a long time ago . It ’ s about telling my son the truth about Santa Claus . +He still doesn ’ t know that Santa isn ’ t real ? How old is he , eight ? +Yes . He ’ s never said anything so I never told him . But now that he ’ s getting older ... +You think it ’ s better that he should be told ? +Yes , he ’ s too old to believe in that type of things . And I ’ d rather tell him before the kids at school do . +That happened to my oldest girl . She became really upset when her classmates told her Santa wasn ’ t real . +I can understand . I was lucky with my oldest ; she figured it out by herself and didn ’ t tell my son . +Well , when you tell him , be gentle . It ’ s hard for kids to find out something like that . +I'd like to open a one-year time deposit account and a checking account . +Okay , if you'll please fill out these forms ... ( She hands the forms to the customer . ) There's a minimum initial deposit of $ 100 for the checking account , and a minimum deposit of $ 500 for the savings account . +Okay , here are the forms .

We ’ Ve got a very exciting encounter ahead of us today as two powerhouse teams , Brazil and China , face off against each other and try to qualify for the next round . Without a doubt , both teams are in top shape and this will prove to be a competitive match . +The ref signals the start of the game and here we go . Ribero serves and China quickly receives the ball . Chen bumps it to the setter , and ... a very nice set by Chen ! +Xu spikes it ! Wow , what a great hit ! The Brazilian blockers anticipated the play and tried to block him but he managed to get the ball in ! Great play . +It ’ s China ’ s service now . What a superb jump serve by Li , oh , and we have a let serve . The ball was coming in fast and almost made it over the net . +Brazil calls for a time out and we ’ ll be right back , after a short commercial break . +Oh , my God ! I feel nothing is going smooth . +Take it easy . It ’ s no good worrying . You were on your last leg if you keep worrying in this way . +Good afternoon , Chloe , I ’ m Doctor Evans.What seems to be the problem ? +Hi , Dr Evans . Thanks for seeing me on such short notice . When I woke up this morning I had a really sore throat and a really bad cough . I think I am coming down with the flu . +Ah I see , yes you do sound rather croaky.Well let ’ s have a look , shall we ? Could you please open your mouth and say ah . +Ahhhhhhhh +Good , yes , your tonsils are a little swollen and red . How are your ears , blocked at all ? +A little actually . My sinuses are a little blocked up as well-I really feel terrible . +Ok Chloe , can you please breathe in and out slowly for me while I listen to your chest ? You really are all bunged up , you don ’ t sound too good at all . Ok , I ’ m going to set you up with a bunch o +Whoa ! So many drugs . . . I hate swallowing pills . Am I able to go to work ? +Absolutely not ! You are highly contagious ! You don ’ t want to infect the rest of your co-workers do you ? I recommend staying in bed for at least three days and drinking plenty of fluids so yo +Ok ! Would you mind writing me a doctor ’ s note for work , otherwise they may think I am faking it ! +Ha-ha , sure not a problem ! Here you are.Now off you go and away to bed . If you have any questions just give me a call ! Feel better soon and take care . +Thanks doc , bye ! +Maria sings like a lark , doesn't she ? +Yes , she's almost equal to Celine Dion when she sings . +Maybe she'll make a famous singer in the future . +You can bet on that . +What did you say your stop was ? +Fifth Avenue . +Oh , then you should have gotten off at the last stop . +I should have ? +But don't worry . You can get off at the next stop and walk back . It's not far . +In 1986 , a New Zealander Hackett popularized Bungee as a commercialized sport of mass entertainment . This sport is very challenging . It is a test of people's psychological ability of endurance . Especially when descending , as if they are watching a fast forward tape and when they bounce back , they sway around . The timid people will shrink back at the sight of it . Even if they jump off , they find it hard to avoid screaming with closed eyes . No wonder people give the title ' brave ' to anyone who jumps off . +You see , the bungee participants take a deep breath when they stand at the starting spot and then , like diving , their heads are over heels and they jump off into the realm of the combination of heaven and earth . The wind roars at their ears and their bodies rapidly descend . They do not even have enough time to do several gymnastic movements and they are rebounded to the upper air by the cord . +Entrusting life to the care of a rope indeed requires infinite courage . +A young French fellow recalled his first bungee experience and said , " When I fastened the cord and walked to the platform , I was extremely nervous . When I looked down , I was nervous even more . If the cord had broken , I would be knocked to ' bakemeat ' . However , I knew my worries were unwanted . I was afraid if I retreated others might say something about me . I had to harden my heart and impose my head downward . I only felt wind wiring at my ears . My body rapidly descended . I thought that after only seven or eight seconds I was rebounded to upper air by the cord . In fact it was 30 seconds . Maybe because of my nervousness , I only felt seven or eight seconds . When rebounding to the high altitude , I felt a sudden sense of relief . I did not feel nervous very much , but very comfortable . " +It is hard to come by in life that you experience this kind of ' comfortable ' +Excuse me . What's the actual flying time from here to San Francisco ? +It's about twelve hours . +Can you tell me what time we're arriving ? +Sure . Let me see ... at 6:15 a . m . local time tomorrow . +I see . +And that'll be 10:15 p . m . Taipei time . +How many pieces of luggage do you want to check , sir ? +I want to check these three pieces and I'll carry this carry-on bag with me on board . +Ok.Is this your luggage properly labelled , sir ? +Yes , it is . +Ok.Would you please put all your luggage on the scales ? +Sure.How about this carry-on bag ? +Hand-baggage is not to be weighed , sir ... I'm sorry , sir , you're 25 kilos overweight . I'm afraid there'll be an excess luggage charge , sir . +How much should I pay for the excess weight ? +Ten yuan for each kilogram.You ' ll have to pay 250 yuan for the excess baggage . +Would you like to introduce me to Mr.Johnson ? +Yes . I'd like to . +thanks a lot . +Amy , you don't look so well . What happened ? +Yes . I feel terrible . I have been coughing for the whole morning . +Do you feel anything else ? +Yes . I feel chilly and sluggish . +Have you had similar feelings before ? +No . This is my first Ae abroad . I am not sure what is wrong with me . +Don't worry . I believe you are just not agreeing with the local climate . I will get you some medicine . You will be alright after a good rest . +Thank you very much . +Who wants to go first ? Allen ? +Uh ... I mostly just like to listen . You're the groom . Why don't you go first ? +OK . Put on something by the Backstreet Boys ! +How about " As long as You Love Me " ! You can pretend you're singing it to your fiancee Brooke ! +I'd better not . Brooke hates the Backstreet Boys ! +Good day . Is this the Business Centre ? +It is .

Which would you like ? +Arm ... just the usual , Current Deposit please . +OK , just a moment .

Is there anything else to discuss ? +No . That's all , I guess . +Then let's call it a day , shall we ? +All right . See you later . +After a while . +Hi , I am so glad to see you . +Are you kidding me ? Why do you say so ? +You know , I'm about to graduate and I have to look for a job as soon as possible . But I haven ’ t the faintest idea of how to go about finding a job . +OK . Let me see where to start . +I guess first I should prepare a resume , right ? +Sure . You should include your name , address and phone number in your resume . +Then what else should I put into my resume ? +Your job objectives , of course . In other words , what kind of job are you searching for ? +I got it . Then I should mention my educating background and working experience , should I ? +Yes . And don't forget to list them by date . Besides , you should begin with the most recent and then move backward . +I see . Is that all there is to it ? +No , it's also necessary to list a few related interests that are in some way connected to the jobs you want to take . +Oh , good point .

I hate buying lingerie . Okay , just find something and get out of here . Alright , these are fine .

For staple food we have rice , steamed bread , stuffed buns and noodles . +Oh , we're lucky today , aren't we ? +I'd rather take stewed cabbage with beef . +I think I'll take fried fish , because fish is one of my favorites . +That's good , we can share what we have . Here we are . You go ahead . +( They get everything ready ) Here is a free table . Let's sit down . Help yourself to some fish please . Isn't it delicious and appetizing ? +I'm sorry I don't like it's a little too salty . +I see .

Take a few days to take care of those things before you start moving your furniture in . +I want my appliances to be delivered as we are moving into the house . +I think that will work out just fine . It will help when you move your groceries in and need to keep them cold . +Would you be willing to help me do a few things on the day I move in ? +My grandmother needs me to help her trim her roses that day . +Is your website address ' www . zhilian . com . CN ' ? +Not exactly . Our address is ' www . zhilian-zhaopin . com . CN ' . +I am sorry , could you repeat it please ? +Of course . The website is ' www . zhilian - zhaopin . com .

Morley ? +Why not just tell him I'm sick ? I'll ring him myself this afternoon . +Alright . Have you been to see a doctor ? +Not yet . I feel too lousy to go out.Anyway , I have a flu . I know what it is . I don't need a doctor to tell me that . +Do you think you'll be able to come in tomorrow ? Or should I call off your appointments for tomorrow too ? +I'm not sure yet.Maybe this will all be gone in a day.So it's probably better if you don't call off my appointments . I will call you later this afternoon and tell you what I think . +It's rainy weather today . Maybe it's better if you just stay inside.Make yourself some chicken soup and sleep . +Yes , that's what I plan to do . Except I won't make the chicken soup.Right now I don't think I could swallow more than a spoonful of it . +That bad , huh ? +Yeah , I'm very nauseous . It's mostly nausea and a fever . +Well , I'll cancel your appointments for today . And I'll tell Mr . Morley . +Thanks , Ann . Talk to you this afternoon . +Hope you feel better . +Hello , Bob .

Which kind do you want ? +Give me one bottle of thirty tablets . +And what kind of toothbrushes would you like ? +Can I have a look at them ? +Sure . This brand is supposed to be very good , but they're expensive . Those are new products . They come in several colors and sizes . There is also hard , soft , and medium . +Are they cheaper ? +This one is 5 % off . That one has no reduction , but you can get a free tube of toothpaste with six toothbrushes . +What made you decide on this type of occupation ? +Oh , to tell you the truth , I love the sky . When I was a child , I imagined flying into the blue sky some day . Now , I think the day has come . My dream will come true . And I like travelling very much and I enjoy working with people . +Can you make yourself understood in English without too much difficulty ? +Yes , I think I am quite fluent in English . I got the certificate of the Secondary English Training last month . +Do you know what the responsibilities are for a stewardess ? +The main responsibility of the stewardess is to make the passengers relaxed and happy during the flight . And good service is also important . +Are you in good health ? +I just had a complete physical examination and I am in top condition . +Have you had any nursing experience ? +Yes , I have two years of nursing experience , and now I am working as a nurse in a hospital . +How tall are you ?

First , let me go over what we do in the department during a typical workday . +Ok . I understand that we basically work from 8 thirty to 5 thirty with an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1 , right ? +That ’ s right , although we do expect you to do a little overtime if there ’ s something important to do . The lunch break is flexible . You can go a little earlier or a little later if you prefer . +That ’ s fine . Is it OK to have a coffee break during the working day ? +Of course . The main thing is that all our work must be completed on schedule . We even allow our employee to go home early if they finish their work early . +How often do you have meetings ? +You should attend a department meeting every Monday morning . There are other meetings for people working together on certain projects . Department heads also attend an interdepartmental meeting each week . +I ’ Ve met some of my colleagues already . I ’ m sure we ’ ll get on well together . +You are entitled to a company car . Have you seen it yet ? +I was told to take a look at it this afternoon and take care of all the paperwork . +Ok . This is your cubicle . At first , you ’ ll be responsible to me . Later , you ’ ll be working more independently . +That ’ s fine . I need to learn how you do things here first . Salaries are paid directly in to our bank account , aren ’ t they ? +That ’ s right . Make sure you give the accounts department all your bank account details as soon as possible . +May I help you , sir ? +I want to try on this suit . +Certainly . Here's a mirror . +I'm afraid it's too narrow across the shoulders . Do you have a larger one ? +Yes . This one must fit you . +It's a bit loose . Do you have a middle size ? +I'm afraid not , sir . +What a pity ! +Both of the two young ladies are the candidates for the position +The question is we only need one . +Right.The choice is yours , the tall one or the short one ? +I should take the taller one for the choice . +Are you Miss Thou Ping ? +Yes .

Bye . +Goodbye . +Hi , is this Steven ? +No , ma ’ am . This is Sean . Steven ’ s out sick . +Oh , sorry to hear that . Listen , I ’ Ve got a rush order . Can you help me out ? +How do you do ? +How do you do ? +Do you mind if I introduce myself ? My name is Wang Li . +My name is Jim Jones . Are you coming for the interview ? +Yes , I am . +My computer isn ’ t running at the same speed it used to be , it is testing my patience everyday . Can you tell me how to make it run faster ? +If you want to speed up your system , you ’ Ve got to clean it up first . +How ? +You need to free your disk space . The simplest way is to use a Disk-Cleanup tool to remove temporary files and in store programs that you no longer use . Things should be fine next time you start . You also need to control what starts up . There is a program calls Start-up Delayer , It can help to set after how much time programs should be loaded after Windows boosts . For example , you can choose to set your Fox Mail program to load 30 seconds after Windows starts up . +Very useful advice , I will try them right now . +It's a beautiful day ! Let's play on those rides in the park . +Sounds like a good idea . I love to play on the jungle gym . +Me too . I love to play on the swing as well . Swing is my favorite . +That's great . Then we won't fight over taking the same ride . +Look at the flowers over there . What are they ? +They are morning glories . They are cute , aren't they ? +They are . We can find many different kinds of flowers and insects in the park . +I think so . Last time I saw dandelions and ladybugs near the pond . +If you come to the park in the morning , you can find squirrels running on the lawn . +It's really healthy to do some exercise there . The air is fresher and it's romantic to watch the sunset with your lover . +Well , off we go . I am sure we can have a great time . +What are your career goals , Miss Li ? +Let me see , I would like to work my way up to a senior management position with a company such as yours . +Great ! It sounds like you might be a good fit . As you know , we ’ re one of the largest brokerage houses in the world . Our daily work is quite hectic , and we , re looking for an assistant who can keep us organized ... help keep the engines running smoothly , so to speak . Our hours are long , but the overtime pay is good ... sort of makes up for the long hours . +What would a typical day be like for me here ? +Well , that ’ s the problem . We never seem to have ' typical ' days , but you'd spend about 30 % of your time on the computer . There would also be a lot of telephone time , setting up appointment , and taking care of a lot of support work . +Oh , yes , I do . My present job is similar in that respect , and I think I ’ m doing a good job . +Last month , we only had 40 hits on our site . Our products and prices are good , but the problem is that no one knows about our website . +If we want to get this internet business off the ground , we've got to do something fast . +We need to maximize the chances that our site will be at the top of search engine lists , but I'm not sure how to do it . +We've got to put more buzz words into the page text , so it will pop up when people search about our kind of products . +Yeah , you're right . We've got to get the most popular phrases there ... How else can we boost site traffic ? +I think one of the least costly ways to attract business is to ask some of our neighboring sites to offer links to our page inside of theirs . If they have related services , they may be willing to help us out . +I guess we could also put out a few advertisements for our website inside of the search engine . I would like to find the most effective way to let people know about our site and our products . +Look at these gorgeous paintings ! +They are beautiful . +Why not take a picture ? +Of course . I will . +Doctor , I slipped and fell on my way to school . The ground is so slippery from the snow . It seems I can't move my left arm now . +Let me see . Roll up your sleeve , please . Um ... it's swollen and red here . I'm afraid we'll need to take an X-ray to see if it's broken . +What if it's broken ? +Then we'll put you in a cast . +We were decorating and I ’ m going to ask some things . +Well , I ’ ll be glad to help you out . We can deliver what you need to your office . +Shall we need at one fifteen this Thursday ? +We definitely need some new filing cabinets and at least one desk unit . +Fine , I ’ ll bring both our office furniture and equipment catalogs on Thursday . +Thank you for your interest in this job . You'll be hearing from us . Send the next applicant in on your way out , please . +Thank you very much for offering me this opportunity . +It has been pleasant talking with you . +I have enjoyed talking with you too . Thank you . +May I call you at your home about our final decision ? +Yes , please . My telephone number is 367 - 1314 . You can call me between four and six in the afternoon . +We'll get in touch with you by next Wednesday . Thank you for your interest in this job . +Thank you for your interview . +Hello , sir . What can we do for you today ? +I'd like a trim . +Would you like your hair washed as well ? +No , thanks . +Okay , have a seat over here . How do you want it cut ? +Cut it short in the front , but leave it long in the back . Leave just a little over the ears . +All right . +Which bus should I take from PHS to Sons ? +Can you tell me which Sons you want to go to ? +I believe that it's on Fair Oaks and Orange Grove . +You'll have to catch two different buses to get there . +Do you know which buses I need to take ? +The 268 is the first bus you need to catch . +What do I do after I get on the 268 ? +Get off when you get to Fair Oaks and Washington . +Then what ? +Catch the 261 and get off at Sons . +That's all ? +That's all you have to do . +Would you be willing to meet the extra cost if we meet your additional requirements ? +Well , if you can meet our deadline . +That shouldn't be a problem , as long as we can make ends meet . +I also hope your quality will meet our standard . +We never fail to meet our client's expectation . +Excellent . We will meet all your conditions if you can meet our demands . +Do you know that working overtime in some companies is a regular thing ? +How regular ? +An average ten hours or more a day according to a survey , the worst thing is that the employees get no pay for that . +You are kidding me ? It is against the labor law . They should be aware of their rights . +But these people say nothing about that . They are worried about losing their job because there is surplus in labor force these days . +That ’ s not right , somebody should do something . +Did you have any publications ? +Yes , I wrote a thesis entitled English Education in High School and it was published in the Education Magazine . +Have you received any honors ? +Yes , I was chosen as a Three Goods student many times in college . +Excuse me , I want to know what's your price per dozen for exercise books ? +15 dollars per dozen +Oh , it's rather too high . We have another offer for a similar one at a much lower price . +However , the quality of our exercise books is better than others . I can assure you that our price is the most favorable . A trial will convince you of my words . +If you can go a little lower , I'd be able to give you an order on the spot . +This price of yours is out of the question . You must know that the cost of production has risen a great deal in recent years . +I hope you'll give a second thought to it . +We'll have to discuss the problem later . +What about if we order a large amount of exercise books ? +Could you give me an idea of how larger an amount you want ? +About 300 dozens . +Then , let me check . For the large quantity you ask , considering the cost of raw materials , I think 13 dollar is our bottom line . And I can assure you this is the lowest price in the market in nowadays . +OK . That's a deal . +Will you introduce me to the new colleague ? +Haven't you met yet ? +No , we haven't . +I'll be glad to do it . +Today , you need to pay 20 RIB in handling fees . +Can't you just take it from my account ? I can't be bothered with cash dealings today . +I must tell you that because your banking has been such a large amount , you need to wait until you leave the country to get any currency back . +You mean , if there is any left over ? +Yes , totally . It's nice to meet a customer who understands the system . +Right , so the deposit , if I don't draw on it will be blocked after you get the Deposit Certification ? +That's right . I know we have a complex system , but you have caught on so quickly . +What do you like for dessert ? +Do you have trifles ? +Yes . +Please bring me some trifles and apple pies . +OK . I will bring it for you . +A : Look at this survey conducted by a website . A quarter of the employees will spend an average of 10 minutes everyday online doing personal things . Hi , Francis , what about you ? +Well , I just spend 15 minutes as so checking my stock bonds and booking an air ticket for my mother . Anyway , I have done all my work and it is about the time to leave . +Though our company doesn ’ t have a return policy , limiting the personal use of internet , I don ’ t think the boss will like us to do that . +Certainly , work always comes first . +But it is lucky for us . The company computers don ’ t have software keeping tracks of websites we visit . I have shopped too often online these days . +Well , keep a low profile . +Hey Ayden , I was wondering if you could do me a favor . +That depends . What is it ? +It's kind of a big favor . I'm absolutely flat broke , and I owe my landlady $ 200 . she's given me until Friday to give it to her , but I don't get paid until next Monday . Do you think you could loan me some cash until I get paid ? +I'd love to help you out , but I'm a bit short on cash this month as well . I had to get a new engine put into my car , and that ate up my savings . +If you can't give me the full amount , a fraction of it would still help . I'll pay you back on Monday . I promise . +Let's see , I've got about $ 50 to get me through the weekend . I can only spare about $ 20 . I would give you more if I had it , I just don't have much money to my name right now . +Thanks a lot Ayden . Every little bit will help . Tell you what , if you aren't doing anything tonight , why don't you come over and have dinner at my place . +That'd be great . Thanks ! What time should I come over ? +How about at 6 pm ? +See you then ! +I would like high speed internet installed in my house . +You have to make an appointment before we can come out and install it . +I'd like to make an appointment right now . +What day are you available ? +I would like to have it done this Friday . +Three o'clock is the only time we can come in . +Is it possible for someone to come a little earlier ? +I'm sorry , but that's our only available time . +How about Saturday ? +We're completely open on Saturday . +Can you come over at 11 +That'll be fine . +What can I do for you ? +I would like to have a roll developed . +When do you need them , sir ? +How about tomorrow morning ? +No problem . Do you want 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 ? +The 4 x6 will be OK . Thanks . +And do you want the glossy or matted finish ? +I prefer glossy . How much ? +You pay when you pick them up . I don't need a deposit for just one roll of film . +Thanks ! +Where are you off to ? +The movies . +Can you finish your homework in ten minutes ? +It will be a piece of cake . +Sunshine Hotel . +Have you got a single room for Monday evening , please ? +With or without private bathroom ? +With private room , please . +Sorry , we haven't got any . But we have a room without private bath room . +How much does it cost ? +160 yuan . +Could you book it for me ? +Of course yes . +I had a great time on the last date . +Me , too . +What will you up to this weekend ? +Nothing . +would you like to go to skating ? I was thinking of going out to the - - Saturday . It's great up there . Would you like to go with me ? +I'd love to , but I don't care for skating very much . +Ok , there is a bunch of going bowling on Sunday . Would you like to go ? +I like bowling , but I prefer to be along with you . +Would you like to dancing tonight ? +I don't feel like going out tonight , I am way too tired . I miss you , sweetheart . +I miss you too . Tell me where you like to do the next day . +How about the seaside ? +Anything you say , honey . +Are you busy on the 24th ? +24th ? I have time . But I can't wait that long , I'm dying to see you . Let's make another time . +Ok . +Hello . I have a room booked for tonight , the 15th . +Alright and what is your name , please ? +It ’ s Marcia Gleason . +Ah , yes , here you are Ms . Gleason . You reserved a single , right ? +Yes , a single , thanks . +Do you mind being next to the elevator ? +Actually , I ’ d prefer not to be . +Excuse me . Can you direct me to the toy department , please ? +It's on the 7th floor . As you get off the elevator , you'll see it on your left . +Can you direct me to the elevator ? +Sure . Go straight ahead and you'll walk into it . +Thank you . +You're welcome . +I'm taking my date to a restaurant . Could you tell me about one or two good ones ? +My pleasure ! How much would you like to spend on your date ? +She will want an excellent restaurant , of course . +You should know that our hotel chef was trained in Paris . The service and food are world-class . +I wanted to go out somewhere , not stay here . Do you know of another good restaurant ? +You can't go wrong with Gramercy Tavern . It's famous for its food , service , and live jazz . +I like that ! Could you please call them to see if we can get in tonight ? +At once , sir . You'll love this place , I assure you . +I met a girl in elevator this morning . She works in a company upstairs . She said she envied the casual way we dress for work . She complained about the dress rule in her company . It requires everyone to wear formal clothes from Monday to Friday . +Well , I was wondering where those people with professional attire come from . Now , I know the answer . +You know , in a sense , a suits and ties are compulsory for male employees even in July , and no jewelry allowed for most of the female employees . Even the reasonable male leaf is returning the rule , isn ’ t that strict ? +To some extent , it is . Anyway , whether they like it or not , they do give people a very good impression . +But it is unjust to judge a book by its cover . If they ’ re not happy or comfortable with their clothes , they can be less productive . +Hello . I am calling to apply for the job as an airlines staff . I'd like to check it . Is it part-time or a full-time job ? +OK , the job is a full-time one . +What does the job description say ? +We need a person with ability and flexibility . +Do you have a double room for tonight ? +With an ocean view ? +Without is fine . +A double room without a view for just one night ? +That's right . +Yes , we do . +By the way , what's the rate for a single room ? +Excuse me may I know the name of your corporation ? +China National Textiles Import and Export Corporation +We found your samples very attractive.We ' re interested in buying your garments if your prices are reasonable +Our products are of good quality.Since the prices of textiles have gone up in the world market we've had to increase them on some items by about ten percent.If you place a large order it is possible for us to cut down the prices by five percent +Can I have a reduction of seven percent ? +It depends on how much you order +Can I use the FAS terms ? +I'd rather use the CIF terms.You ' re welcome to come to talk about it in detail with your general manager and sign a contract . +We are interested in your pure silk , but I'm wondering about the price . How much will you possibly offer us ? +It's $ 120 per yard including a 5 % discount . +That's much higher than I expected . Can you come down a bit ? +But if you placed a larger order , we would increase the discount to 10 % . +Supposing we agreed to your price , what payment terms could you offer us ? +Maybe we would consider a longer credit period . +That would be nice . Let's call it a deal . +Excuse me . I get confused that the two phones on the booth are different , can you tell me how to use them ? +Let me have a look . Oh , yes . This one is the IC phone and the other is the coin phone . If you have an IC card , you can insert it into this slot , wait for the dialing signal appearing on the small screen , and then dial the number of the person you are going to call . +Well , I see . How to use the other one ? +First , you pick up the receiver , wait for the dialing signal , dial the number , and then put the coin into the slot , press the ' speak ' button . Then everything is done . +It seems quite easy . I will try both of them . +I heard that EDD has special services to help me get a job . +callous is a great Internet-based placement service that is available to you . +I don ’ t have access to a computer . +There is an area at the EDD Center that is set up with computers for you to make use of . +Is there anything else at the EDD offices to help me with my job search ? +We can provide you with information that will help you understand what is available . We also provide workshops . +If I go to EDD in person , what type of workshops might I find there ? +Our two most important workshops are Resume Writing and Interviewing . +What are some other places where I might look for work ? +Job fairs are popular places to look for work . +Mr . White , I would like to give you notice that I will be leaving the company . It will be effective at the beginning of the next month . +Jessica , I am very sorry to hear that . Why are you leaving ? +I've been offered another job with higher salary . And it also gives me the opportunity of promotion . +Oh . If you had talked to me first , we would have given you a raise . +You are really a good employer , Mr . White and I am very lucky to have such a good boss like you . But this new job is more in my field of interest training . It's something I have always wanted . +Ok , good luck , Jessica . By the way , if you ever need a letter of recommendation , I would be happy to write one for you . +We cannot avoid being asked questions in the interview . Sometimes , my mind goes blank . +It is so terrible to be caught unaware . +Admittedly , you can get prepared in advance for the interview , but you cannot cover everything concerned . +Sure . So you should know how to deal with the probable questions and then make flexible reply . +Firstly , your answer should go straight to the point , and be clear and brief . +State your opinion or argument first , and then go on with details . +Never should you give an answer completely beside the point . +If you indeed don't know how to answer , admit it frankly . +Pretending to know when you do not know may expose yourself to ridicule . +Confirm the question if you don't catch it clearly . +Try to avoid the possible duplicate answer if you can . +It can help you leave a deep impression on the interviewer . +Could I pay for my parking ticket ? +I need to see your ticket .

I ’ ll give him the medicine too . +I ’ ll appreciate your help +Excuse me , is this taxi taken ? +No.May I help you ? +Would you please drive me to chinatown ? +Oh , that's where I'm going . +I am calling to ask the position of HR manager . Could you tell me more about it ? +Yes . We are looking for someone who are well-educated and have all-round experience as a manager . +I have a master's degree in HR management in Peking University . And I worked as a HR manager in a European enterprise for many years . I know it is not just some clerical issues , but more social work with reason and patience . +Great . What about having a formal interview on Monday next week ? +OK , thanks a lot . See you then . +What kind of job do you think I should get ? +It all depends on what you want to accomplish in your life . +China is now a member of world trade organization . As a member of TO , China will have to make some changes in its economic policies so that it can follow the routines practiced by other TO members . Is it fair to China , do you think ? +It's a hard question , but I'm sure the reexamination of China's economic policies in the past may lead us to a right answer to the question . After the establishment of new China , our government employed numerous economics policies to stimulate the growth of China's economy . These policies , however , favored our domestic enterprises and protected them from international competition and these policies have contributed a lot to the rapid growth of both China economy and our domestic enterprises . After China's entry into TO , Chinese domestic enterprises will have to compete with their foreign counterparts . This new situation entails some changes of Chinese economic policies . These changes will spur Chinese enterprises to strengthen their competitiveness in the long run . +We can infer that the non-discrimination principle is one of the most important principles of TO agreement . This principle requires equal treatment of domestic and foreign enterprise . Does the principle also apply to domestic enterprise of different ownerships ? +Yes , it does . Domestic enterprises of different ownerships enjoy equal rights for the non-discrimination principle grants equal rights to enterprises , regardless of their nationality and ownership . I have found that although changes of China's economic policies are numerous , these changes are largely based on the most important economic principle ot TO agreement-non-discrimination principle . Such an understanding of principle of the changes may help us not only to have a good insight into the changes but also to foresee the tendency of the new changes of China's economic policies . +I need help .

Oh , no , a cup of hot chocolate will be fine . +My TV hasn't got a clear picture recently.How ' s yours ? +It's OK . I can always get a clear picture on it . +I think something is wrong with mine . +You'd better have it fixed . +What can I do for you , sir ? +I want to have a bath . +Do you want to have a tub bath , surfing bath or shower ? +Shower , please . +All right .

It's a newly-built one . +We are lucky to play in a new stadium . +Hurry up , Benjamin ! Pass the ball to me . I'm good at shooting . +Look out . Catch the ball . You should dunk besides the three-point line . +Oh , God ! I didn't touch anybody . How can I commit a foul ? +Just calm down . It's just a turnover . Make up your mind and we can shoot well . +Yes , I got it . Come on , Benjamin , don't let him get into the paint . +No problem , I once played a 2 - meter-high player successfully . +Really ?

I mean bacteria and germs reproducing on food that was left out or re-heated ? +Well , I didn't leave the turkey out at room temperature for more than a an hour and I refrigerated it soon after we finished eating . Also , when reheating , I put it in the oven for fifteen minutes at one hundred degrees Celsius . +Well OK , I am just afraid of getting food poisoning . +Don't worry about it !

Phoebe , let's talk about the delivery arrangement for our goods . +Sure . What's your date of delivery ? +I informed my company and was told that the first five thousand by the end of this month . +What about the balance of the order ? Can they also arrive at our company quickly ? +We can deliver the balance at the price already quoted in 10 days . +Can you deliver them earlier ? +I am afraid we can not do that . Would you be willing to sign an annual contract on the basis we discussed ? +Possibly , subject to quality and delivery guarantees . +Of course . Well , in that case we could offer a 5 % discount for a confirmed monthly order for the next 12 months . +I was looking forward to something a bit more substantial . As you know , we have long-time cooperation . +I'm afraid that's as far as we could go . We'd already be stretching ourselves to the limit . +Well , let's shake on that and draw up the details of the contract . +Good afternoon , what can I do for you today ? +I'd like to get some details about a Personal Housing Loan , please . +That's no problem .

I ordered waffles . +I am so sorry , madam ! +I can eat my bacon and eggs while you are exchanging my pancakes for waffles . +I will go trade those pancakes for waffles right now . +That would take care of it , thank you . +Let's start the interview with some questions . Tell me about yourself and your past experience . +I have 10 years financial industry experience , working for several companies . For the past two years , I have been working in an investment banking . In addition to my analytical mindset , I have a background of solid accounting principles . I am a team player and have great communication and interpersonal skills . I thrive on challenge and work well in high-stress environments . +What finance experience have you had that qualifies you for this position ? +My background and experience include working on a variety of projects and jobs in the financial industry . Most of my experience has been behind the scenes , doing the calculations . I want to work with clients and continue to grow and be challenged . +Why did you leave your last position ? +I'm not finding the work as challenging as I used to . I want to find a job that is stimulating , where I can grow . +What are your strengths and weaknesses ? +One of my strengths is my ability to be flexible . I've seen companies go through many changes in structure and management philosophy . I've had to adjust my style to the new environment several times . As far as weaknesses , I really enjoy my work , and sometimes I put in too much time . But by being aware of my tendency to overwork , I have learned to pace myself more and work less overtime . +How would your boss describe you and your work style ? +She'd say I have a lot of initiative , I see the big picture and I do what has to be done . Second , I always meet deadlines . If I say I'm going to do something , I do it . Lastly , I have the ability to focus on what I'm working on I am not easily distracted . +What are your salary expectations ? +I'm sure whatever you offer will be a fair amount for a person with my qualifications . Salary is not the most important factor to me . I'm looking for opportunity . +Do you have any questions ? +Yes , I do . What do you see as the future trends for the industry ? +I beg your pardon ? +I said , ' Do you need any help ? ' +That's very nice of you . I guess I could use some help . +Just tell me what you'd like me to do . +Are you ready , Pa ? +In a second . Have you got a torch ? +No . +Here it is . Let's go . +In China at least , coffee is often associated with an exotic , well-to-do bourgeois lifestyle . Coffee is often considered a hobby of the well-educated , middle-class people . +Maybe that's why some young chaps often spend a whole afternoon in a coffee bar , surfing the net or just typewriting something with laptop . While they are savoring a coffee at a leisured pace , they are actually showing off ! +Yes . Behind a lifestyle , there is a culture . Young people easily become blind worshippers of a Westernized life . While they may not really like coffee , they think it desirable and enviable to be lavish with money in those high-consumption places . +Then what about tea ? We need to bear in mind in the first place that tea , rather than coffee , has been the most popular drink for the Chinese people . +Well . Tea represents another facet of popular culture . While a coffee bar is usually quiet and resonates with soft , elegant music , a teahouse is often a noisy , crowded , public space . People visit teahouses to associate with others , playing chess , chatting , or simply listening to operas . +What a pity that the traditional teahouses , as depicted by Lao She , keep fading away so quickly in this metropolis . It is not easy to find an old-fashioned teahouse that suits the ordinary people's spending power either . Teahouses of today all feature a cozy , comfortable environment , and high-quality services , but can easily cost you a good deal — just like a coffee bar . +Well , that's true . In a sense , it is not so much what you drink that really counts , as where and how you drink . +How about we taking a tour to Hawaii ? I have a 2 - weeks ' vacation . +That sounds fantabulous . I have dreamed of going there for months . +Me , too . Why don't we get ready now ? +Sure . I don't want to waste even a minute . +Good afternoon . How can I help ? +Hi there . I need to change some dollars into local currency . Can I do that here ? +Yes , you can . Is that US dollars or HK dollars ? Both are available for exchange to RIB . How much would you like to exchange ? +Well , that depends . What's the rate like today ? +Today's rate is 821.32 USD to 100 RIB , which isn't bad . +That sounds pretty good . OK , I'll change 500 USD today , thanks . +Dad , when will you finish your cooking ? +Several minutes . +So what should I do now ? +Then , pass me a bowl for the soup . +Where's the bowl gone ? +Look for it yourself , please ! Kinda busy here , Daniel ! +Dad ? +Check the drawer . +OK , got it , but its shape is so strange . I don't like it . +Can it hold soup ? +Maybe . +It smells sweet . Mom and May are gonna love it . Get them for dinner , Daniel ! +Mommy , dinner , please ! +Hello ! Where can I buy an inexpensive cashmere sweater ? +Maybe you should look around for an outlet . +That is a wonderful idea . +Outlets have more reasonable prices . +Thank you for your help . +No problem . Good luck . +This is what my boss is expecting , Sandy . He wants a detailed list of expenses and equipment costs . +That ’ s going to take a while to put together , Paul . +The sooner , the better , Sandy . I don ’ t think he ’ ll sign anything till he ’ s got that in his hands . +I ’ ll get to work on it right away . Anything else ? +OK , so now the last point on our agenda . Jill , let's go over the profit and loss statement . +Great . Well , the main issue here , as you can see , is that our expenses are through the roof . +Let ’ s see ... These numbers are off the charts ! What's going on here ! +Well , um , sir , the company expenditures on entertainment and travel are out of control . Look at these bills for example . Just this month we ’ Ve paid over twenty thousand dollars for hotel charges ! +OK , thank you . I ’ ll look into it . +The list goes on and on . Here , this is a bill for five thousand dollars for spa treatments ! +Thank you.that will be all . I ’ ll take care of it . +Look at this one sir , eight thousand dollars were spent in one night at a place calledWild Things ? ! +OK , I get it ! ! Thank you for your very thorough analysis ! +Sorry to have smoked in your room . +Don ’ t worry . I ’ ll open the window . +It ’ s very kind of you . +Smoking is harmful for your health . +I know . I ’ ll try to give it up . +I wonder what we should have for dinner this evening . +Are you asking me ? +Yes , I am . I really don't feel much like cooking , but the family must eat . +Well , you know me . I can always eat pizza , or spaghetti . +So I've noticed . You're putting on a little weight , aren't you ? +I know . Don't remind me . I'm starting a new diet the day after tomorrow . +It's about time . +Show me the photos of the latest hair styles , will you ? +Here you are . +This one will suit me best.What do you think ? +I'm sure you'll look grand when it's done.Would you like to have a shampoo after a while ? +No , thank you . +How about oil or spray ? +No , nothing of the kind . +Ow ! +What's the matter , Andy ? +I slipped and fell downstairs . +Have you hurt yourself ? +Yes , I have . I think that I've hurt my back . +Try and stand up . Can you stand up ? Here . Let me help you . +I'm sorry , Lucy . I'm afraid that I can't get up . +I think that the doctor had better see you . I'll telephone Dr Carter . The doctor says that he will come at once . I'm sure that you need an X-ray , Andy . +I really need to apply for a driving permit . +Do you have your ID with you ? +I may have left my ID in my car . +Well , I need your ID and $ 27 . +I'll go get it really quick . +Please hurry . +Here it is . +Thank you very much . Please fill out this paperwork . +I need to use a pen . +Here you go . +Thank you very much . +Thank you . Now turn in your application at Window B . +Good afternoon . Lotus Catering Company . Lilian speaking . May I help you ? +Good afternoon . Lilian . This is Tom Baker over at Beck ’ s Trading company . We need to arrange a banquet for next Wednesday afternoon . +I see , Mr . Baker . How many people are you planning to invite and how much would you like to spend per person ? +Well . We ’ re expecting about twenty-five people and we ’ d like to spend no more than $ 20 a head . +Hi , are you being helped ? +No , I'm not . I am interested in some scarves . +All our scarves are in this section . What do you think of this one here ? It's made of silk . +Hm , It looks nice , but I ’ d like to have something warm for the winter . +Maybe you would like a heavy wool scarves . How about this one ? +I think that's what I want . How much is it ? +It's 75 dollars plus tax . +It's a little expensive . Do you think it's possible to get a discount ? +Since you like it so much , how about a 10 % discount ? That's the best I can offer . +That's good . Could you wrap it for me ? +Sure . Is there anything else I can get for you ? +No , that should be it . Thank you ! +Hello ! Is your taxi engaged ? +No , this taxi is free . +Please take me to the Honging Hotel . +OK . Please get in . I'm glad to serve you . +Could you get there in twenty minutes ? +It will take half an hour to get to the hotel . +I am in a hurry . Please take a shortcut . I have a friend waiting for me . +OK , I promise we'll get there in twenty minutes . +Thanks . +Hello , Cindy . Congratulations ! I hear you ’ re getting married . +Yes , Mr . Emory . Thank you . +When ’ s the big day ? +We ’ re planning a June wedding , but we haven ’ t picked a date yet . +Hello , my name is Clark . May I speak to Mr . Allen , please ? +This is Rick Allen speaking . Can I help you ? +Mr . Allen , I have just received your note which informs me that you have offered the accountant position to another candidate . May I ask why I was defeated ? +We have thought of you very carefully , but the other candidate has more experience . +Experience is indeed very important , but don ’ t you think capability is more important than it ? +Of course , I think so . But how can you prove to me that you are more capable ? +Maybe you could hire me on trial , if I ’ m not qualified for this position , you can let me go . +That ’ s a good idea . +Would you show me this brooch ? +Yes , I would . +What is this made of ? +It's sapphire . We have only one brooch of this type . Will you try it on ? +Yes , I will . But how much is it ? +Only 700 yuan . +It's expensive for me . +How about this one ? This is 500 yuan and the same kind of material as that one . +It is genuine , isn't it ? +Oh , yes . Any kind of goods are dependable as our shop is well-known throughout the city . +Bill , will you be free at noon ? +Yes . What can I do for you ? +We need a new filing cabinet in the office . Could you go downtown with me after lunch ? +All right . Have you got an idea about what type to buy ? +Yes , the same as the one we have . And we also need some small articles in the office , such as pens , clips , erasers and sticky notes . +Can you remember them all ? +Susan has already given me a list of all the stationery which we need to buy . +Mum , pass me some more please ! +Tina , you should have more nutritious food . Don't eat these crisps any more . +But the ads say they're most nutritious . +Have you ever heard the ads say anything bad about their products ? +Have you got the medicine yet ? +Yes , I've been given so much , that I simply don't know what to do with it all . +Well , these are for internal use.You take a packet each time.Four times a day . +What about these ? +They're painkillers.You take one tablet when you feel a pain , but not more than once within four hours . +I see.Thank you , doctor . +Do you know our major business ? +Yes , I know it is one of the leading industries in the petrochemical field . +Do you have a long-term plan for your career ? +Yes , I hope I will be a manager in 5 years . +Hello , this is Julie from Google Corp .

Can I also have a sheet of 20 sixty-four-cent stamps ? +Sure . The total comes to twelve dollars and eighty cents . +By the way , how much does it cost to send a package to Taiwan ? +That depends on the weight . +I see . +Excuse me , would you like a drink before your meal ? +Pardon me ? +Would you like a drink ? +Oh , I see . I'll have a beer please +Ok , here you are . +Thank you . How much is it ? +Well , all the drinks including beer are free of charge . +Are you sure ? Then I'd love more beer please +Don't worry .

I'll be back in a minute . +I think I may rent this apartment from you . +That would be wonderful . +Can you tell me how much I would have to pay for rent ? +The rent is $ 1050 every month . +That ’ s way too much . +What is good for you ? +I can afford about $ 800 a month for rent . +That ’ s not high enough . +How much more are you thinking ? +I can let it go at $ 900 a month . +That ’ s almost perfect . +I can live with that too . +Could you bring me some food , please ? +Sure .

Well , which one do you recommend ? +Do you prefer imported ones or domestic ones ? +It doesn't matter much . If it has high quality and reasonable price , it will be OK . +How about Flymo ?

Mr . Zhang . We need to go to the source to work them out . +What problems are you having exactly ? +The complaint rate for our new product line is very high , almost eight percent . +That is high . +Yes . We keep finding problems when testing the sound boards . +But your promotional materials claim the broads are the least expensive of their types on the market . +The least expensive , but still fully functional . And we think that your factory needs to take measures to improve quality-control . +That will involve additional expenses for us , which we will have to pass on to you as a rate hike . +I am afraid that is not acceptable . Your contract says that you will deliver a product with a reject rate of less than six percent . +Well . I will tell you what , Mr . Li . I will review the contract and talk with management . Then we will get together and hash this out . +Why don ’ t we go for Teppanyaki tonight ? +Mmm ... to be honest , I ’ d rather go for a pizza . +Actually , I haven ’ t had a pizza for a while . Let ’ s do that then . +Ok , shall we go to Pizza Hut or Pizza Italia ? +If it were up to me , I ’ d prefer to go to Pizza Hut . The toppings are much tastier . +I think you ’ re absolutely right .

We should start looking for a new place for you ASAP . +I think I might move in with my parents for a couple of months until I can find something . You know how hard it is to find a decent place around here . I ’ m gonna have to put most of my stuff in storage for a while . +Well , let me know if there ’ s anything I can do to help out . +Actually , would you mind looking after my pet tarantula and snake for a couple of weeks ? +Can you help me , please ? Is there a public restroom near here ? +I'm sorry , but I don't think so . +Oh , no ! ! My son needs a bathroom . +Well , there's a department store on Grant Street . There are restrooms in the basement . +Where on Grant Street ? +Between Second and Third Streets .

But , you know , I think I would have enjoyed skiing in Tahoe even better . Do you go there often ? +No , not much . My wife doesn't like to ski . She prefers vacationing where it's warmer , like Hawaii . +I don't blame her . I really enjoyed it there when we went a few years ago . I'd like to go back sometime soon . +Yes , me too . Oh , here's Susan now . Let me introduce you . +Did you hear something ? +Oh , it is my cell phone ringing . I set it in the vibration mode . +It is a good habit to set your cell phone to vibrate .

' Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies , staying unrealistically thin , or depriving yourself of foods you love . ' It's interesting , isn't it ? +I'd rather say it's confusing . what are those ' strict nutrition philosophies ' about ? +I believe they are careful calculations on proteins , vitamins and calories . +Probably , Rose . That must be the job of nutritionists . +Healthy eating is not about depriving oneself of the foods one loves . So we are free to have whatever foods we love . It is unbelievable . +Oh , believe it or not , I came across an article the other day , saying that pizza is a healthy food . +Seriously ? +Yes , I felt exactly the same way as you did just now . Scientists must be crazy in saying so . +Maybe nowadays people hold different opinions on healthy diet . +Absolutely right . I myself sometimes believe that healthy eating is just about feeling great . As long as I have enough energy , it's fine . +But one must have some basic ideas about nutrition and find the best way for the nutrients to work out for the body . +What do you think of the test ? +Rather difficult .

And they are all newly renovated . +That sounds fantastic ! But I am looking for something closer to the downtown , as I spend most of my time at the office . +No problem . We have a nice apartment located near the Oriental Square . It's perfect for people busy with office work . It is fully furnished with a service staff taking care of the trivial details . +I'm sure it is wonderful , but I need an unfurnished apartment with relatively lower cost . +Ah ! I get your point . We have just what you need . Our Jinyuan apartments have several floor plans . The one bedroom apartments are very economical , but their layout makes great use of a small amount of space . I think you can find the right apartment there . +Great ! I'll arrange a viewing after work tomorrow afternoon . Could you tell me the detailed address ? +Of course . It's just at 19 Lingual Road . You can phone me again if you cann't find the right place . +Ok . Thank you . +Can you offer me something a little cheaper ? +Well , let me see .

I ’ ll see if she ’ s free . +Thanks . +Sorry , Becky can ’ t come to the phone right now . +That ’ s okay . I ’ ll call back later . +Did you enjoy the restaurant ? +I didn't really like it all that much . +What do you think the problem was ? +Well , they are pretty new . I just didn't feel that they were ready to open yet . +How did you feel about the food ? +The food wasn't all that exciting . +I don't think that the service was good , either . +Yes , the service certainly didn't add to the experience . +Would you like to return to this restaurant ? +Maybe we could try it again in a few months when things have settled down . +Excuse me . Miss , what does the doctor say about me ? When can I be discharged ? +The doctor has examined your current situation . Since you are recovering so well , you will be discharged tomorrow . +Great , thanks . But how can I get discharged ? +First please get the bill at the doctor's office , then pay it either with cash or by check . Even though you're discharged , you still need to take a rest at home . Don't hurry back to work until you have fully recovered . +Yes , I will . Thanks for your care . +What's it made of , could you tell me ? +Linen.It ' s ideal for summer wear . +Can it wear well and keep its shape ? +Certainly.It has been specially treated . +Bob , can I talk to you for a minute ? There have been some developments for the Stewart case that I really need to talk to you about . +Yeah , what's the matter now ? We've had so much trouble with this case already . Don't tell me there's more bad news . +Well , I'm afraid there is . I have some bad news for you about the results of the forensic tests ... there won't be any results . +What ? What does that mean ? Why won't there be any results ? +I hate to tell you this , but it seems that every shred of evidence that would help us to convict were destroyed in a laboratory fire . There's nothing left . I'm so sorry ... +Oh , no , you can't be serious . I never expect anything like this would happened . What are we going to do ? +There's nothing that can be done . Everything is gone . I wish I could tell you differently , but what has happened has happened . We will just have to figure out a way to move on . +I'd like you to bring me some food . +Just name it , sir . +Please send up a bottle of champagne , lobster tail , and filet mignon , medium rare . +Regrettably , we're currently out of filet mignon . May I suggest the porterhouse instead ? +Sure , I love porterhouse , too . +Would you be interested in chocolate-covered strawberries with the champagne ? +I'd love to , but I'm allergic to strawberries . +Okay , no strawberries tonight . The items will be charged to your amenities account . +Go right ahead . +Our staff will bring you your order in as short a time as possible . +That dog has white long hair . It ’ s lovely . +She is my dog . I like her very much . +What ’ s her name ? +Her name is Fluffy . She is a sweet dog . +My dog has spots . He is very strong . +But I don ’ t like big strong dogs . +Thomas , would you be so kind as to lay the table for me ? I'm busy in the kitchen . +Of course ! Where are the things ? +They're all here . +Right ! I'll do it straight away . +Thanks a lot . I'm most grateful . +Well , I ’ m glad I had a chance to see these samples , but I ’ m really not in a position to make a decision right now . +Would you like me to leave the samples with you ? +Yeah , why don ’ t you do that , and then you can give me a call sometime next week . +Fine , Mr . Grant . Thanks for your time . I ’ ll talk to you next week . +I will take the coat . Do you receive checks ? +Yes , of course . +Here you are . Please give me a receipt . +Sorry , sir , you have to pay in the check-out counter . It's there . +OK , please wrap it for me first . +When should I come for work in the morning ? +Generally speaking , you are supposed to come at 9:00 am . +When does the job start in the afternoon ? +You should start from 1:30 pm in the afternoon . +Have you finished ? +Yes , but dinner was excellent +Would you like some of coffee ? +No , thank you . Check please . +Yes sir , one moment please . here is the check . +Here is the two dollars , will you bring me the receipt ? +Here is the change . +Please keep the change . +Thank you very much sir . +good morning . What seems to be the problem ? +good morning , doctor . I feel terrible . I ’ Ve got a cold and I have a rash here on my neck . I ’ m not sleeping well either . What do you think the problem could be ? +I ’ d say you ’ Ve been working too hard or are under stress for some reason . Have you been taking anything for your cold ? +yes , I bought some medicine at the chemist ’ s . I ’ Ve been taking it for three days . +good . I ’ m going to prescribe something stronger . It will make you feel drowsy , so you certainly should rest . +OK . I can afford to take a fell days off work . +have you been working hard recently ? +yes , I have . I had to get a project finished . It ’ s done now , so I can relax a little . +good . Let ’ s take a look at that rash ... it looks worse than it is . I ’ m going to prescribe some ointment for it . If the rash doesn ’ t clear up in a few days , come back and see me . Do you have any other Sy +I have a bad headache , but ... +don ’ t worry about that . It ’ s probably of the stress you ’ Ve been under . Just take some aspirin . Combined with the stronger cough medicine , it will make you feel very tired . You shouldn ’ t work or use an +thanks doctor . I ’ ll get these immediately . Goodbye . +Excuse me . How much for a two liter bottle of Coke ? +87 cents . +How come so cheap ? +It ’ s on sale this week . +I ’ ll take one . And here is a dollar . +Here ’ s your change . +Thank you very much . +Have you ever climbed the mountain before ? +Never . But I have been looking forward to it for quite a long time . +Now your dream comes true . Do you know the altitude of the mountain ? +It's 2065 meters . Come on . Let us keep up the pace . +I just discovered that I owe $ 10 for a movie that I never ordered . +Let me check , sir . You were charged for watching ' Titanic ' Monday night . +That is absolutely incorrect ! I was out on the town Monday night . +Okay , sir , bear with me a moment . +Thank you for taking my word over the computer's word . +One slight problem , sir . I need to charge you $ 2 to remove this error from your file . +You can +I feel your pain , sir . +Absolutely unbelievable ! You people should be ashamed of yourselves . +I agree with you , sir , but all I do is work here . +To get around your difficulty , Mr . Brown , I'd suggest that you reduce your order by half . You can send in an Addi trional order later . +Well , I'll consider the possibility . By the way , when do I open the L / C if I want the goods to be delivered in June ? +A month before the time you want the goods to be delivered . +Could you possibly effect shipment more promptly ? +Getting the goods ready , making out the documents and booking the shipping space - - all this takes time , you know . You cannot expect us to make delivery in less than a month . +Very well , Mrs.Wang . I'll not reduce my order . I'll take the full quantity you offer . And I'll arrange for the Letter of Credit to be opened in your favor as soon as I get home . +When will that be ? +Early next week . In the meantime , I should be very pleased if you would get everything ready . I hope that the goods can dispatched promptly after you get my Letter of Credit . +You can rest assured of that . We'll book you order and inquire for the shipping space now , so that shipment can be effected within two or three weeks of receipt of your L / C . +That'll be fine . I appreciate your cooperation . +Very good . Well , thanks to your cooperation , our discussion has been very pleasant and fruitful . I sincerely hope that the volume of trade between us will be even greater in the future . +By the way , Mrs . Wang , we have a mind to do joint participation with you on Japanese arts and crafts in our market . Would you entertain this proposal ? +Well , this is something new . A few of our friends from Europe have also suggested that we participate in joint enterprise with them dealing in some of our goods . We think there are a lot of details to go into . +If you feel our proposal is attractive , it is estimated that business to the extent of over twenty million marks can be done in this manner . +Naturally , I appreciate your efforts in pushing the sale of Japanese arts and crafts . But I'm not in a position to discuss your proposal today . I must first talk to our director , and discuss it with you some other time . +All right . Anyway , I'll be staying here for another two weeks . But I'm looking forward to having something done in this respect . +We'll talk about it next time . Now that everything is settled , let's have a cup of tea , and take our minds off business for a change . +Your PC is so amazing . Are you doing trade on internet ? +Thank you for your compliment . I bought this PC with my first-month salary . I am getting to know the on-line trade . +I'm wondering if you often trade with others on the internet . +Yes , I often do business through internet now . +Oh , really ? Is it a good way ? +Yes , very gorgeous . Sometimes , I can deal with my business without stepping out of our house . +What advantages does it have ? +Firstly , it is convenient . And secondly , it has low cost , because you know you only need to pay the fee of internet service . +I agree with you . It will cost too much when going abroad to join the exhibition . +The most important is that it is very convenient . You know you can browse the website and send E-mails to your customers at any time . Even you can have e-contract with your regular customers . +So cool , if we do business through other ways , it will cost a lot of time . +Sure , but every coin has two sides . Doing business through the internet is not as safe as doing business through traditional ways . +Will you give me some suggestion ? +Of course , such as Alabama , which is a famous website . +Thank you . Maybe I will do business through internet in the future . +That'll be 12 dollars and 95 cents , please . +Can you break a 100 dollar bill ? +Oh , you don't have anything smaller ? +No , I'm sorry . That's all I have . Unless you take a credit card . +Oh , sure . Credit card is fine . +Hi , Mary , I have decided to look for a job as a salesman . +Good ! Have you got the recruitment information on marketing ? +Yes . I have found some through different channels . +Really ? That's great ! Tell me . +OK . The first piece of job information I got was from the Internet , and it is about selling medicines . +What do you think of this job ? +I am not familiar with the medicine industry , and I don't think it fits me well . +Then how about the others ? +Another is about electronic commerce , and its products are mainly large machinery equipments . +I have heard about electronic commerce , and many people say it has good prospects for development . +I also feel it's nice . I want to give it a try . +Come on ! I believe you will succeed . +Thanks . You can also seek job information on the Internet . +Good idea . I will think it over . +Do you know how late it is ? +My fault . I didn't realize what time it was . +I hope you don't think that excuse lets you off the hook . +Not really . I'm telling the truth . +Haven't I asked you to call if you're going to be home late ? +This is true , but it must've slipped my mind . +Regardless , all you had to do was give a call . +I know . I should've called . +Come home late one more time , and you'll find your stuff outside . +You want to throw me out over this ? +That's right , maybe then you'll respect my rules . +That's fine , because if I leave , then your rules won't matter . +You heard who won the election , didn ’ t you ? +Yeah . I am so excited that Obama won . +I ’ m so happy that he did . +That man just made history . +Did you vote for him ? +I sure did ! What about you ? +Of course I did ! +I am still in shock to know that he was elected . +I am , too ! +I pray that he actually makes things better in this country . +I ’ m sure that he will . +I know he will , too . +I'm searching for an old music box . +You came to the right place . Any particular decade ? +If you had a box made in the ' 20s , that would be nice . +We just got one in yesterday , so now we have six . +Would any of them have dancing figures ? +Yes , we still have two boxes left that have dancing figures . +Oh , they're both so beautiful . Let me have this one , I think . +That one truly is a beautiful piece of work , isn't it ? +One last question +Oh , no . Everything we sell here is ‘ as is . ' +I guess I was asking for too much . +If it breaks down , maybe you can find a repairman on the Internet . +How about your study at college ? +I was doing quite well at college . I completed my MBA degree in international trade with first-class honors . +Why did you select your college ? +I selected my college because it had an excellent academic reputation . +What do you like doing in your spare time ? +My favorite recreation is cooking . I learned to cook Chinese dishes and western style dishes as well . It keeps me busy and makes me happy . +May I help you ? Miss ! +Yes . I'd like to look at lipstick and eye shadow . +What color set do you prefer ? +Well , brown . +We have a beautiful selection of eye shadows this fall . Look at the colors . Aren't they beautiful ? +But they're purple . I prefer a brown set . +If you insist , I can show you the brown sets . I'll have to warn you that they're very ordinary , though . +Well , I'm not so sure . Most of my make-up is brown . +Why don't you wear purple eye shadow for a change ? We also have lipstick to go with it . +Can I try it ? +Sure . Are you wearing any make-up ? +No . +Have a seat , please . Now , here is the mirror . How do you like it ? +Not bad . Actually , it makes me look younger . I like it . +Try the lipstick as well . See , how fresh and charming you look . +You're right . I'll take them all . +Excuse me , can I deposit valuables here ? +Surely of course . +Here is the bag . Is that free ? +Yes . How long would you like us to keep it ? +For two days . +Look ! Allen has the mic ! +I thought he only liked to listen ! +That was before he heard Stanley sing ! I guess he couldn't stand it any more , so he decided to give it a try himself ! +( Sound of Allen singing ) Hey , Allen has a really good voice ! He sounds like Johnny Dean ! +And he can move . too ! He dances like Ricky Martin ! +Sorry to bother you . But I ’ m having a small problem I thought you might be able to help me with . +Sure Paula , shoot ! +Well , it is about Ms . Connors , the landlord of our rented house . +Yeah , What happened ? +The dishwasher broke down . I had the repair done and deducted the cost from the rent check . +And so ... +She is threatening to evict us for not paying the full rent . +Hold on , Paula . It does sound pretty serious . But I ’ m sure you can work this out . +Well , you are over at the law school . So I wondered if you would mind coming with me when we talk to Ms . Connors . We ’ re supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight . +Sure , I ’ d be glad to help you straighten things out . Why don ’ t I stop by at about seven thirty ? +Thanks a million , you are a lifesaver . +It's Mrs Bardot , isn't it ? +Yes , it is . But I'm afraid we haven't met before . +I'm Greg Wu , Head of Consultancy . I see that you'd like a credit check done for your company . Is that right ? +Hello Greg . Yes , that's correct . You see , we have just acquired a new partner , the transaction is huge . It's to be signed next month , and we would really like to have some clearer information about them . +I see . So , it's not for your company , it's for the prospective partner ? +That's right . I feel it's always better to go in with both eyes open , if you know what I mean . +I couldn't agree more . If you have the company details with you I can get on with that right away . Is there anything else that you need from us today ? +The lady at the desk , Shelly I think , told me you offer many other consultancy services . +We do indeed . Such as making trade investments , financial consultancy , and of course the service you requested . +That's good to know . Thanks for your help today , I'll leave you with the details and you can get started . +Hello , Steven . We're thinking of appointing an agent for our products . I want you to find one for us . +OK . What sort of agent , exactly ? +The agent we are looking for will help us in Britain with publicity , advertising and so on . +OK . I ’ ll make enquiries . +What course did you like best ? +Project Management . I was very interested in this course when I was a student . And I think it's very useful for my present work . +Do you feel that you have received a good general training ? +Yes , I have studied in an English training program and a computer training program since I graduated from university . I am currently studying Finance at a training school . +Oh , no . We ’ re going to be late for the meeting . +No . We ’ ll get a cab . It ’ s faster than taking the bus or the subway . +Oh , good . +How much will it cost ? +Well , cabs are more expensive than the bus or the subway . It ’ ll probably cost around six dollars . +Taxi ! ! ! +I can ’ t find the business card . Do you know the address ? +Yeah . I met with them back in March , remember ? +Right . +Driver , 1600 Pennsylvania Ave . , please . +Please show me the menu , Miss . +Of course . Here you are . Can I take your order now ? +Yes . I'd like an Italian soup to start with and then some fried noodles . +All right . Can I serve you anything else ? +Yes , I'd like another cup of coffee afterwards . Make it hot , please . +You've got it , sir . +I really like what you have . But the price for this product is much higher than we expected . I am absolutely not a buyer at that price . +I know it is not the cheapest on the market . But if you take the quality factor into consideration , you will find your company will benefit in the long term . This device is built in with the most advanced technology . Every aspect has reached the international standard . It is a worthwhile investment . +I understand that . If you can lower the price by 10 percent , we have a deal right now . +Well , the best I can do is to lower the price by 5 percent if you are willing to pay 90 % cash of front and 10 % on delivery . That is our best offer . +Err , well , I can ’ t decide right now . Do you mind if I have a small internal discussion on this first ? I will tell you our decision this afternoon . +Sure , no problem . +I am sorry to tell you that you failed in the job interview in our company . +It is tough to accept it , I mean . But can you tell me why ? +It is hard to tell . Maybe it is because you're not resourceful enough to be a manager . +I get it , and thank you for your honesty . +Two burgers , please . +For here or to go ? +Could I have your name , please ? +Kevin Belknap . +How do you spell your last name ? +B-E-L-K-N-A-P . +Right . Thank you very much ! +Wake up , it's time for school . +I'm so tired . Let me sleep for five more minutes . +You have to get up and get ready for school . +I know , but just five more minutes . +I can't let you go back to sleep , because you won't wake back up . +I promise I'll wake up , in five minutes . +You still need to eat breakfast , take a shower , and get dressed . +I realize that , and I can do all that when I wake up in five minutes . +I don't want you to be late for school today . +I'm not going to be late today . +Fine , five more minutes . +Thank you . +Ah ! No ! Damn it ! +It's a blackout . Now I can't see Seinfeld . +So what ? I just lost one hour's worth of work . +Really ? How could you do that ? Don't you save every couple minutes ? +No , I didn't save this time.Damn it ! And I'm sick of writing this paper . Now I have to write it all over again too . +I've had that problem too many times . So I learned to save.When I'm writing something , I save every three sentences or so . I don't want to lose anything . +I hate computers . Sometimes I think they cause more trouble than they're worth . +What are we going to do now ? +I don't know . I feel like going out . +I wonder how much of the city is down . +It doesn't matter . I still can go out and buy a beer . +Maybe . But if there's a blackout , probably the pubs are closed.And besides , I know you have a political science exam tomorrow . I thought you had a lot of reading to do . +Yes , that's true . Damn ! I just lost half my paper , and now I can't even do my homework.This is a bad time for this to happen . +I have a flashlight in my closet . If you want to use that to read , you can . +Thanks . I think I will try . Where are you going ? +I like your idea of getting a beer . I think I'll go out myself . +Maybe we can trade.Why don't you stay here and read for my exam , and I'll go drink beer ? +No , it just won't work.If I read for your exam , you won't know the answers tomorrow . I will . +So ? You can go to the class for me.Just write my name on the exam book and take the exam . Why not ? +How many students are in the class ? +About fourteen . +So it won't work , old buddy . They'll see that I'm not you . Sorry . +Damn ! +How much will our order from your factory be ? +I'll be happy to get back to you with an estimate in the next few days . +I'm afraid I can't wait that long . Can your office at least provide me with a ballpark figure ? +Well , I would need an idea of how large your order would be . About how many units would you need ? +Just give me an estimated figure for an order of 100 units . +Please give me a few minute to calculate ... Our asking price should be about $ 100 per unit with an order of 100 . Is that price acceptable to you ? +Your estimated is seems a little high to me , we're willing to pay $ 80 per unit . +Would an order of only 100 units , it'll be difficult to work within that kind of budget . Maybe if you were ordering 500 units or more units , we might be able to work something out . +This is exciting ! Thank you so much ! +My pleasure . Release the parking brake , and we're almost ready to go . +Boy oh , boy ! This is so cool . Let's rock and roll ! +OK . Relax . This car is an automatic , so you don't have to worry about a clutch . +Which one of these is the gas pedal ? +Is there anything I could help you with , sir ? +Yes , could you show me to your coat section ? +This way , please . +Oh , These are exactly what I ’ m looking for . +These are French coats , sir.They are quite fashionable these days . +I'd like to try them on for size . +How does that fit , sir ? +This seems to be my size . +It looks good on you . +Do you really think so ? +I'd get it myself if I could . +Alright , I'll get it . +Oh honey , I tell you good news . The apartment I looked at today was pretty decent , around 120 square meters . +Great . What about the surrounding area ? +Very quiet and safe . And it ’ s got a lot of trees and plants . +That ’ s good . Is the location easily accessible ? +Yep , it ’ s near a bus stop . +Hmm . . . well , maybe we can buy this one then . +Do you know anything about health food ? +It is so popular among people to preserve health now , so I read some books about health food . +Can you give me some examples ? +Drinking warm and fresh water in the morning on wakening up is one of ways to keep healthy . +Really ? Why we must have warm and fresh water ? +Warm water can be good for your stomach , which is empty at that moment . And freshness can keep the water active to clean your digest system . +Anything else ? +Yogurt , because it has protein , vitamins and it is acidic . If you drink it everyday , your stomach will be more comfortable . +I've read your resume and know a lot of things about your qualifications for this position . One thing you didn't mention is why you left your last job ? I know the company you worked for is a good company . +yes , it's a good company . But the management changed last month . We didn ’ t get along , so I quit . +I understand . Why would you like to join our company ? +I'm qualified for this position . And I've heard a lot of good things about your company . +Like what ? +You take care of your employees . And your company offers good salaries and benefits . +that's good to know . Why do you think you ’ re qualified for this position ? +I've got over seven years ' experience working in this kind of position . I know I can do a good job in this position . +Well , this is not quite the style I want . Have you any suit in fashion ? +How is this one ? It's the latest , made of cashmere . +Can I try it on ? +Sure . +This is much better . How much is it ? +Do you play cards ? +Of course and very well . +What's the English for Hongtao , Leitao , Meihua and Fangpian ? +Oh , very easy . They are heart , spade , club and diamond . +Is this the Central Park to East Market bus ? +This is the East Market to Central Park bus . Where do you want to go ? +To the Municipal Government Hall . +Take the same number bus going in the other direction . There's a stop right across the street . +Thank you . +I'd like to return this radio . +Okay . Do you have your receipt ? +I lost it . +I am sorry , but you need a receipt for a refund . +But I purchased it yesterday . +Perhaps you would like to talk to customer service . +Well , that's a start , I guess . +They're right upstairs . +That sounds good . I'll take the escalator . +Good luck . I hope someone can help you . +Can I help you , sir ? +Yes , could you tell me if there is a laundry in this hotel ? +Yes , It ’ s on the third floor . +Thank you very much . +You ’ re welcome . +Here is your bill . It's $ 60 . +What's this amount for ? +It's for the drinks . +I see . Can I pay by credit card ? +Sure . +May I come in ? +Come in , please . +I'm sorry to trouble you , but I'd like to ask when I will get a raise . +In 3 months or so . +You said the same thing three months ago . +Did I ? Well , anyway , you will get your raise when the economy starts picking up . +You mean that I won't get a raise until the recession ends ? +Yes . +I got the message . I'm quiting . +Nah , don't be so fast . We like your work here , but this company is on hard times and I can't be handing out raises for anyone . +I've been here for 3 years , and I haven't had a raise in all that time . If you like my work , it should be reflected in my pay , and I feel it isn't . +I hear what you're saying , and I wish there were something I could do . +Very well , consider me gone . +So can you fix it ? +I ’ m sorry sir . This computer is not broken or damaged . It ’ s simply just too old ! That ’ s why your programs and applications are running slow . There really isn ’ t much I can do . +What do you mean ? I bought this computer just three years ago ! +Yes , but technology is ever changing and technology is becoming obsolete faster and faster ! +OK , I know where this is going . How much will it cost me to get a new computer ? +Well , this desktop over here is our latest model . It has a four gigahertz processor with sixteen gigabytes in RAM and a hard disk with one terabyte . Of course , it includes a mouse , keyboard and desk speakers . +I have no idea what you are talking about . I just want to know if it ’ s good and if I will be able to play solitaire without the computer crashing or freezing all the time ! +This PC is top of the line and I guarantee it will never freeze ! If it does , we ’ ll give you your money back ! +It's an ugly day today . +I know . I think it may rain . +It's the middle of summer , it shouldn't rain today . +That would be weird . +Yeah , especially since it's ninety degrees outside . +I know , it would be horrible if it rained and it was hot outside . +Yes , it would be . +I really wish it wasn't so hot every day . +Me too . I can't wait until winter . +I like winter too , but sometimes it gets too cold . +I'd rather be cold than hot . +Me too . +Welcome to Youth Travel Agency . Is there anything I can do for you ? +We'd like to look around the town . Can you tell me the best sightseeing route to take ? +Why not come here and have a look at the guidebook ? +I think this route is quite interesting . How long does the tour last ? +Let me see . It's a one day tour . +We have the capital ready.Right now I am looking at three different companies to produce our products.And your company , Mr . Chen , seems to me to be the best for what we want . +I appreciate your remarks . And we are always happy to do more business.But , you know , if we take on a contract to produce new products , we want to be confident the product is marketable . Because , to start producing new things requires a lot of preparation.It requires a lot of investment for us . +You have some doubts about our products , I understand . +I would like to offer you a good price.But I won't be able to do that if I think this is a one-shot deal.So I would like to have some confidence in your idea . +Of course . Let me tell you in some detail about our idea.You know the popular Hello Kitty products . +Yes , of course . +Well , the products in themselves are very simple.It is the logo that is successful.So , Hello Kitty is successful because of the logo , but the products are very simple . +And I would say the logo is successful mainly because it comes from Japan.It is the Japanese that have made it a fad . +That might be true.But we have a logo concept that is great . It is really great . I think it will catch on in Taiwan at least . Young people will love it.It is because of our logo that our products will sell.We just need someone to produce the products for us.We have the backup and people to do the marketing . +So what you are really trying to sell is a fad . +Yes , we would like to make things like key chains , plastic pencil sharpeners , plastic rulers , watches , wallets , things like that.Little accessories for young people . But the reason these will sell is the logo.Just like Hello Kitty . +I understand . But why won't you show me the logo ? +Because it hasn't been copyrighted . We want to get some protection for it.But while we wait for copyright , we are investigating companies to produce the products . +I see . The problem , however , is that I can't be confident in giving you a good priceless I am confident your product will last . +I understand . For now , though , you could just give us an estimated price.We aren't going to sign a contract yet . We are just investigating . I only need to know that your company is capable of producing the products.And then , I only need a very rough idea of how much it might cost . +Alright . I understand . Right now you just want estimates . +Yes . +Good morning . May I help you ? +Good morning , I have an appointment with Mr .

I am glad you could come over to help me finish it . +my pleasure ! This tea towel ’ s a little ragged . Do you have another one ? +yes . Look in that drawer . I should throw the old one out . +keep it and use it as rag . You can clean your bicycle with it . +Are you looking for part time or full time employment ? +To start with I would like something part time with the hope that it can develop into something full time . +So you are interested in being with a company for the long term ? +Yes , that's right . I like this city very much and would like to make my home here . +Here is an application . Please fill it out to the best of your ability . Did you bring a resume and references ? +Yes , I did . I have them here . +Keep them until you ready to give me the application and you can turn them all in at once . +Thank you very much .

That will be $ 104.99 . +The price tag says $ 99.99 . +Yes , miss , but there is a five percent sales tax in Maryland . +Oh , of course . How silly of me to forget . +No problem .

Do you want to buy the used goods ? +I'm considering buying a second-hand computer for I'm short of money now . +You know the car I'm driving , which is still in good condition though it is second-hand . And it only cost me 300 dollars . It was so cheap . +But do you really mean that the second - hand goods are just as good as the new ones ? +It depends . So you must be careful buying second-hand goods . +City Bank . This is Tom . May I help you ? +Yes , I am expecting some money wired to my account from Taiwan . Would you please check if the money available yet ? +Sure , may I have your name and account number please ? +We're on the same team here , Elvin . I'm being nice because we need to get along together . +I know you , Zina . You're only nice when you want something . +If we want to beat WebTracker , we're going to have to work hand in hand . +To be honest , I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it . +You'd rather lose to WebTracker than do things my way ? +You said it , not me . +Mom , can I have more allowance ? +What for ? +I want to buy more books . +Oh , yeah ? Are you joking ? +Of course not ! I'm telling the truth . +Honey , it's good if you spend money to buy more books . But $ 100 dollars a week is enough for you already . +Steven , I am ready for breakfast . +OK . But where is my favorite coffee ? +It's in that pan there . Your boy Dean broke the silex yesterday , so I have to boil it in the pan . +It tastes like crankcase oil , but delicious . +That's good . You can make breakfast yourself if you don't like it . +What is there besides coffee ? +I warmed a couple of snails , and your eggs are in the frying pan . +Oh , my God . It's nearly eight , I have no time to have breakfast now . My watch says seven fifty . +Don't worry . It's only ten to seven . You must have forgotten to set your watch back . +Yes , it was . The clock on the wall says eight to seven . +Yeah . Keep on eating your breakfast . You can catch the early bus . +Gee . I could have slept another hour . +Is there any way we could get a better warranty on this product ? +Well , I can't give you a better warranty , if you would be willing to agree to an annual contract . +That might not be ideal because there would be some drawbacks to an annual contract situation that might make it difficult to sell to our buyers . What about free delivery ? If we make a large enough order , could you waive the deliver fee ? +Yes , our delivery fee could be waived , if you make an order of 50 units or more . We would have to insist on the annual contract , however . I understand it's not the most convenient for you . Perhaps we could shorten it to a sixth month contract if you are willing to take a lower rebate . +That would be fine . We could accept a lower rebate . +Right Rebecca . Now I see that after graduating from University your first job was ... +For a local paper in York called the York Herald . Actually , I started with them as an intern in the beginning . I was really keen on getting some experience in the journalism , and this seemed like a g +Certainly . And after your internship ? +They seemed impressed , and offered me a position as a junior local news reporter . I ended up staying two years there actually . I was in charge of the sports news section of the newspaper . I really +Yes I see . But you decided to leave them in 2006 right . +Yes , that ’ s right . My husband and I moved to London , and so I managed to find a position with a National newspaper based in London . +The London Weekly right . +Yes , in some ways it was a step down from my previous job but it did offer me much better prospects for the future . +Wow , you ’ re up early today ! What ’ s for breakfast ? +Well , I felt like baking , so I made some muffins . +Smells good ! I ’ ll make some coffee . Do you want me to make you some eggs ? +Sure , I'll take mine , sunny side up . +Www , I don ’ t know how you can eat your eggs like that ! Ever since I was small , I ’ Ve had eggs and soldiers . +You know , my dad had scrambled eggs every morning for twenty years . It drove my mom crazy ! +You know what really drives me crazy ? When I ask for soft boiled eggs , and they overcook them , so they come out hard boiled ! How can you dip your toast into a hard boiled egg ? +You ’ re so picky sometimes . +Here you go , honey , fried eggs . +I said sunny side up ! How many times do I have to tell you . +Let me see your passport , please . +Oh , here you are . +You come from Germany , don't you ? +Yes . And come here for tourism . +How long will you be staying in China ? +Twenty days . +OK . Have you filled in the Declaration Form ? +Yes , here is the form . +Is this your luggage ? +Yes , only one travel bag . +What do you have in the luggage ? +Nothing but several personal effects . +That's all . Thank you for your co-operation . +What is this big box at the front door ? +Oh . I don't know what to do . I joined this club a long time ago and I didn't read the fine print . +What did you get yourself into ? +I didn't realize that I have to buy something from them every six months . +So , what's in the box ? A fridge ? +It's a curio cabinet . The only thing is I don't even own those kinds of little keepsakes . +I guess you'll read the fine print next time , won't you ! +Don't rub it in . Where am I going to put this huge thing ? +Take me to this address , please . +Yes , Ma'am . Here we are . +How much do I owe you , sir ? +30 dollars , Ma'am . +Are you kidding ? The meter says 15 dollars , doesn't it ? +Yes , but we need some extra charge and some tip too . +I don't get it . I'll go and have our doorman talk to you then . +Ok , Ma'am . Calm down , 15 dollars will do . +Dental clinic . This is Mr . Adams . +Hi . My name's David Johnson . I'd like to make an appointment . +All right , David . Is this for a checkup or a cleaning ? +A checkup . I think I have a bad cavity . Half the side of my head hurts . +What tooth is giving you pain ? +One of the back ones . +Let me see ... We can see you this afternoon if you can come in at four thirty . +Shall we go out tonight ? +Yeah , let's go Joe's Disco . +We'd better ask dad first . +Okay , but you ask him . +Pardon me . I need an old music box . +Exactly how old a box do you want ? +Actually , I was thinking about something from the 1920s . +We still have six left . +Do any of the boxes have dancing figures ? +Dancing figures are quite popular . Two of the boxes have them . +I love the dancing figures . I'll take this music box . +Yes , I think you'll be very satisfied with that one . +I was wondering , does this come with any kind of warranty ? +No . But if something goes wrong with it , I know someone who repairs these things . +I was just hoping . +It's amazing that these things still work as well as they do . +I am a reporter from Channel 5 News . +What ’ s up ? +Could I ask you some questions ? +Sure , you can . +Did you vote today ? +I sure did ! +What candidate did you vote for ? +I can ’ t disclose that information . +Why is that ? +My vote is my own private business . +I understand . +I voted for our next President . +What sort of experience do you have ? +I used to work as a mechanic and I was responsible for the maintenance of all the company vehicles . +Where was your last job ? +I worked in Hanson Paper Company . +Why did you quit your last job ? +Because the company is far away from home , and I have to study after work so I can't afford to waste time on the road everyday . +You look a bit under the weather . +I am not feeling all the great . I think I have that crud that is going around . +I know that it ’ s going around the dorms . +My boyfriend hasn ’ t been feeling so well . Maybe he passed it on to me . +I have some cold tablets if you would like one . +Mostly , I feel like I need some rest and hot soup . +Drinking liquids and getting rest is a good idea with a cold . +My grandmother thinks that honey and whiskey is a good cure for a cold . +You could always go to the pharmacy if it gets worse and you want suggestions . +If things don ’ t get better in a few days , I will look for some other solutions . +I need to see if I qualify for a home loan . +I can help you . How much money do you make per year ? +I make around one hundred thousand dollars per year . +How long have you been on your current job ? +I have only worked at this job for 6 months , but I have a longer job history elsewhere . +Do you have any other outside income from rental property or a trust ? +No , I only receive my salary . +Do you know your credit score ? +I think that it is around 600 . +By crunching the numbers and putting in your expenses , I estimate that you can afford a house of around five hundred thousand dollars . +Sorry sir . But you can ’ t go into the OR . +All right , but tell me what ’ s happening . Give it to me straight please . +It was touching girl for a while . +And now ? +She will be OK . She is a tough cookie . +That ’ s great news . +In my opinion she will up about soon . +That ’ s good to hear . She is usually full of vein and vigor . +I believe it . Well , I ’ Ve got to go back in . +Thanks for helping her , doctor . +All right . Just relax , OK ? Go and got a cup of coffee . +Thanks . I will . +Everything is OK now , doctor . +That was quick work . Let me have a look at it . Yeah , everything looks fine now . Thank you very much . +You are welcome , doctor . +How much do I owe you ? +The total is 87 dollars . Here is the bill . +Really ? You worked here for just half an hour . I consider the price very high . +It sounds like Bob's getting out of bed . +What time did he come in last night ? +It was after 2 am . +Who was he out with ? +Is this the front desk ? +Yes , sir . What can I do for you ? +This is Room 705 . The air conditioner in my room doesn't work . +I'll have that taken care of immediately . +And may I have two more towels , please ? +No problem . We'll bring you the towels in just a minute . +Thanks . +I've been waiting here in the conference room for ten minutes already . What time does our meeting start ? Where is everyone anyway ? +Didn't you hear about that ? Our meeting was proponed until Friday . +What ? The meeting was proponed ? No one told me anything about it . +Didn't you get the memo ? +What memo ? There haven't been any memos this whole week . I check my unbox every day , and I haven't seen anything . +The memo went out three days ago . It should have made it to your in-box , but maybe it got lost in all the clutter on your desk . +You know how things get piled up on my desk when I am busy — I know that sometimes I do misplace things , but I always read all the memos that go around . They go directly to my in-box . Are you sure it was sent to the whole office ? +It should have gone around to everybody . They also posted a copy of the memo in the break-room . Don't you ever look at the messages posted on the bulletin board ? +I'm usually too busy to take a bunch of coffee breaks and gossip by the water cooler . Anyway , I am sure the memo never got to my in-box . I'll have to talk to our secretary about it . +That's right . You never know what you're missing out if you don't read the memos . +Can you show me how to use chopsticks ? +With pleasure . +Oh , it is not easy to learn ! +I think you are a quick learner . +Well , I don't think I can manage with it . +In that case , shall I ask the waiter to bring you a knife and fork ? +That's good , thank you . +I would love to rent out your apartment . +That ’ s great . +How much is the rent ? +The rent each month is $ 1050 . +That ’ s a lot of money . +Did you have a better price in mind ? +What about $ 800 ? +That ’ s way too low . +I can ’ t pay much more than that . +How about $ 900 a month ? +That would be fine . +Great . It was a pleasure doing business with you . +Hello , is this house keeper ? +Yes , Madam , may I help you ? +This room 117 , and we have just checked in . +Yes ? +Our room hasn't been cleaned up yet.So would you send one of your house keepers to clean up our room . +Oh , yes . Madam , we'll come right away then . Your room number and your name , please ? +Our room number is 117 and my name is Terry Chen . +Thank you , would you hang up and wait ? +I'm hungry . Let's go to the snack bar . +ok , what unusual food do you want to try ? +I am going to try Gado Gado . +what's that ? +it's a kind of rice ball that is made in Malaysia . What about you ? +I don't know . I don't know what most of this food is ! +do you want noodles , vegetables , rice , meat , seafood , beans , or dessert ? +I'd like to have some vegetables first . +have you ever tried tempura ? +no , what is it ? +it's deep fried vegetables , which is commonly eaten in Japan . +what do you use to eat it ? +most people eat tempura with chopsticks , but you can use a fork if you don't know how to use chopsticks . +that sounds great . Do you know if there are any vegetable dishes that are spicy ? +let me think . You could get an Indian or Thai vegetable curry , or you could get some Kimchi . +I'll try all of those . How do you know so much about International food ? +I used to buy lunch every day from the International food stall at school . Every day was an adventure ! +Would you like to see our new shirts ? +Sorry , but I'm not really that interested in those things . +Well , they are very nice you know . +Really ? +And not expensive either . +Oh , I don't care about that . +Everybody is buying them . +Are they ? +Yes , they are very fashionable , you see . +I am afraid I am not interested in fashion . +I see . +But thank you very much all the same . +Sorry I couldn't help you . +Going to the gym tonight , Mary ? +Yes , Sally . I want to do some sit-ups and perhaps get in a game of singsong . +That sounds like fun.Would you mind some company ? +I'd love it.Working out is more fun with a friend . +I'll get my things and meet you there . +Good.If you happen to see Jim and Bob on the way see if they would like a game of singsong . +How nice these frames are ! +Yes , they are the latest designs . Would you like to try them on ? +I want to try on this pair . +The oval shape one ? +That's right . +I think it suits you well . +I agree , but I like wire frames . +How about this ? They're the same shape . +The channel boats are quite fast , aren't they ? +Yes , very . They make the trip in about an hour . +I hope we shan't have a rough passage . +No , I hope not . I want to have a deck chair and enjoy the crossing . +That's a good idea . +The sea seems quite calm , so there will be no fear of seasickness . Are you seasick ? +Yes , unfortunately . I'm very much subject to it . +I'm not a very good sailor , either . My mother is a dreadfully poor sailor . In fact , she never takes a voyage unless she has to . I am better than that , and even on the Pacific . after ten days of it , I can still find my sea legs . Well , happily we shall have a smooth passage today . +Yes , this little boat gets up a fine speed , and I think we'll soon get to the land . +Yeah , I am of the same opinion . +May I help you ? +Could I have a look at those pens ? +Certainly . These are thirty yuan each and these are twenty-five . +Have you got anything a bit cheaper ? +How about these ? They are nine yuan each . +No , they're not quite what I want . Sorry to trouble you . +Not at all . +Did you work in a charity organization ? +Yeah , I had been in the charity organization for 2 months and I learned a lot from that experience , including love , sympathy , equality , and so on . +In what way did those social activities have impact on your mind ? +I think it had direct impact on my way of thinking . I learned to look at people and things from an overall perspective . In that case , I am not easy to be edgy . +I need help figuring out how to use this phone . +Sure . First you pick up the receiver and hit one of the first 3 buttons . Do you hear a tone ? +Yes , I hear the tone . +OK . Now you dial 9 on the keypad . Do you hear the tone change ? +Yes , it changed . +Well , when you hear it change , that means you have an outside line . Where are you trying to call ? +I am trying to call home . +OK . Well , to dial to the outside you just now dial the number . For a call inside the company just hit the extension number . Do you know the extensions ? +Yes , I have a list of extensions . +Well , if you ever need help with an extension , you can dial O . +Can I help you ? +I would like to check in . Here are my ticket and baggage . +I am sorry , sir . Your baggage is 2kg overweight.You have to pay extra money for it . +Well , can I put something in this handbag ? +Sure . Now it's all right . Here is your boarding pass and label . Have a nice trip . +I saw on TV that there is an entertainment item , bungee in Beijing Longtanhu Park . Except that the height is not exiting enough . +You say how high can be exciting ? +The highest bungee spot in the world is located in Mount Kikicama , South Africa , which is 216 meters high . A cable car in a scenic spot in Switzerland is 160 meters high . +I know that Frenchmen installed the Bungee cord between two tall buildings . +It is said that Bungee was originally a grown-up ceremony of the indigenous people of New Guinea . People stood on branches of the tree , which was over 30 meters high . Their feet were fastened with canes and they jumped off from where they stood . When they almost reached the ground , they suddenly stopped to prove their bravery and express that they were able to endure the hardships of life independently . +Luckily there is no such kind of ' grown-up ceremony ' any more . +Bill , please . +Please wait a moment ... here is the bill . Please check it . +Excuse me , what's this item for ? +For three bottles of Tsingtao beer . +But we've can canceled one bottle . +Oh , I'm sorry . Let me go back to the cashier's to have it changed . ( a few minutes later , the waiter returns with the new bill . ) +I'm sorry for the miscalculation . Here's the new bill . Would you mind checking it again ? +That's all right . +If you're staying at our hotel , you may sign the bill . +How much is the fare ? +Three yuan . +Could you tell me how to use it ? +You put it in the slot at the turnstile and then push the turnstile to get into the platform . +Oh , I see . By the way , how can I get out of the platform after I get off the train ? +That's very easy . The exit is always open . +Thank you for your help . +My pleasure . +We're supposed to check in at the air-china ’ s counter . Thirty minutes before take off , Joe . +Yes , I know . The boarding time on the ticket says 17 +Do we need to show our ID cards when checking in . +Yes , It ’ s essential . +What about our luggage ? +We can check it and hand carry small bags . And we have open each for inspection +Are they going to frisk all the passengers ? +I think so . we certainly don ’ t want a highjack to happen on our plane today . +You look kind of green . +I don ’ t feel so good . I am feeling sick to my stomach . +Have you had anything to eat lately ? +I had fried shrimp and clams for lunch . +Perhaps the food was bad . +Perhaps , but I haven ’ t felt well for a few days now . +Has anything been upsetting you lately ? +My stress level is pretty much what is usually is . +Do you think that maybe you are getting the flu ? +It seems to me like I may have caught a bug . +Hello ! nice to see you here at the finest centre again . What exercises are you going to do today ? +I'm going to do some jogging on the treadmill . Then I think I'll do some work with the dumbbless . +Good idea . I'd suggest you do some crunches too . Thery're great for getting in shape . Make sure you do them correctly . +Ok . I will . Could you help me with the treadmill ? I found it difficult to get the setting right last time . +Sure . Is today only you second visit ? +Yes , it is . I'll be coming here regularly . I think I need regular exercise to get in shape and then to stay in shape . +The treadmill is excellent for helping you to build up stamina . Each time you use it , increase this distance . don't worry about your speed at first . You can increase that later . +I was told that the first time I came heer . I was told not to put too much pressure on my body at first . I need to build up slowly . +That's right . You don't want to injure yourself by exercising too much or in the wrong way . Now , this is how you make the settings for the treadmill ... +Paul , you were also a parent of young kids before . So , can you tell me what you did when your kids didn ’ t behave very well ? +I know Mark is your only child . You may do it differently from what I did . Sometimes I would tap their hands when they made troubles . +I do it , too . You know , sometimes when we eat , my child would pull a dish towards him and grab it with his hands and eat . And if it were something he doesn ’ t like , he would spit it out and throw it into other dishes . He does it very often . I really get mad . I can ’ t help spank him sometimes . +And what does your husband do ? +My husband is an American . He criticizes me when I do that . He says that I can ’ t change a child ’ s behavior by using force . He is learning what I am doing now . +But spoiling a child is not going to do him good either ! You ’ Ve got to have patience with him and teach him . It ’ s not easy , I know . It ’ s hard . +Yeah . I ’ m still learning how to control his behavior and my temper . My child is almost two years old , and I ’ Ve learnt the distraction technique when he cries for something . +I really do like this dining set.But I just don't know . I don't know if I can do a good job with it . +It really isn't hard , sir . You just have to follow the instructions . +What instructions ? +We will give you a detailed instruction manual if you buy the table . +I see . But can I understand the instructions ? I'm a foreigner , you know . +Don't worry about that . Your English seems very good.And our instruction manuals are very clearly written . It's easy ! +Could you tell me now some of the things I need to do ? +Of course.First , you must sand the furniture . You sand it to make the wood smooth.You start with heavy-grade sandpaper . Then , you move to finer-grade sandpaper . +Do I have to sand every inch of the table ? +The better you sand it , the better the finish will be . +Alright . +Then , after you sand it , you use tack cloth to wipe off any dust or sawdust . +Sawdust ? +Yes , sawdust is the tiny particles of wood.You could call it wood dust . You must wipe it off.The wood should be very clean before you put the varnish on . +That makes sense . +Then you apply the varnish , which is very easy . It is like painting . +And I can choose any color ? +Yes , we have many colors to choose from , sir . +And after the varnish ? +After the varnish dries for 24 hours , you can put another coat of varnish on . Or you can put the finish on.The finish is hard and clear . It goes on top of the varnish . +And then ? +Well , when the finish is dry , the table is done . +It all sounds very complicated . +It only sounds complicated . It's really very easy . A lot of people here in America finish their own furniture.It ' s a good way to save some money . And a lot of people even enjoy it . +Well , I will look around your shop some more . I need to think about it . +Alright , sir . +Good afternoon , Miss Tao . Please sit down . +Good afternoon , Mr . Black . Thank you very much . +I ’ Ve read your application materials with interest . Now I want to ask you a few questions , if you don ’ t mind . +As you please . I ’ m ready . +The first is why you choose our company ? +I think yours is a well-known advertising company , so I ’ m sure to get opportunities to display my talent in advertisement . +Why do you want to quit your present company ? +Well , the company has some financial problems . People there are all thinking of quitting . +Well , when do you think you can come over to work ? +One week after I have submitted my resignation paper . +When you start to work , I ’ ll give you $ 3,000 a month . +Thank you , sir . +Excuse me , what's the checking time for flight FA1187 ? +Have you paid the airport fee ? +Yes , and I have already gone through the safety inspection . +In that case , please get your passport and boarding card ready . Just wait in the terminal for twenty more minutes.You will hear the announcement . +Thank you . +Excuse me . Where is the Beijing railway station ? +You can take the subway to get there +How long will I take it to get there ? +It ’ s takes only about 10 minutes +May I take a bus or a taxi to get there ? +You can take No . 1 bus or taxi +Excuse me . Sir . Where is the No . 1 bus stop ? +Pleas turn right at the traffic lights . +Thank you very much +Do you like reading magazines ? +No , I don't . +Why ? +Because I think it's boring +No , you can learn a lot from them . +Learn a lot ? Really ? +Absolutely . And it's a good way to kill time during the tour . +Do you have magazines now ? +Yes , I do . +Can you lend me one ? +Sure . Here you are . +Can you put me through to Mr . Lining ? +Yes , speaking . Can I help you ? +I am calling to let you know that you are selected to fill the position of Project Manager . +I am happy to hear that and I'll accept that . +By the way , are you married ? +No , I am single . +The air conditioning is not working ! We need to call a handyman before we start to fry in here ! +Dan is on top of that . I think they are also getting the handyman to fix the bathroom toilet that keeps clogging up . +That would be convenient . They might as well ask him to fix the electrical wiring . The circuit breakers keep going out all the time . It ’ s really annoying ! +Yeah you are right . This office is falling apart ! Frank told me the other day that the gutters outside were clogged and that ’ s why the parking lot was flooded . +I know ! I was in ankle deep water trying to get to my car that day ! The handyman definitely has his work cut out for him . +How long have you been in this company ? +I came two years ago after I graduated from college . This is my first job . +You must have found much difference between working in company and studying in college . +Of course ! Everyday , there is a deadline to meet . Bosses watching and testing me all the time , not liking in college , handed in paper months later and tested on schedule . It is so busy . But anyway , I have been trying my best to be a good employee . +Well , you ’ Ve adapted yourself very well . Everyone in our office thinks you ’ Ve made a great progress in the past two years . What is your secret ? +It is so encouraging to hear this remark . The secret is to make plans . Write down your goals , short-term and long-term and make detail plans for a week or a month . Then just work hard . +How will you ship the order ? +Air freight is the quickest and safest way , I think . +But the freight cost will be higher and that will affect the retail price . +Good afternoon , it's nice to see you again . Have you decided to go ahead and try for the Fixed Asset Loan ? +I'm going to need some more info first . I was wondering about the repayments . How long would I have to pay back the loan ? +That depends . Our repayment plans go from 1 year to 10 years . The Fixed Asset Loan is a long-term loan , you see . The loan can be paid in either monthly or quarterly instalments , to suit your needs . +And how much is payable in each instalment ? +You will need to pay part of the principle sum and part of the interest due . +Well , as far as I can see , the advantages outweigh the disadvantages . You've sold me ! I'd like to go ahead . +Would you be kind enough to lend me forty pounds ? +I'd really like to help you out , but I am broke myself . +That's all right . +Good morning , sir . What can I do for you ? +Good morning . I want to deposit a sum of money into my account . +OK ! How much do you want to deposit ? +Well , I want to deposit 2,000 yuan into my account . +Would you please fill in a deposit form first ? Please write down your name , your account number and the amount you want to put in . +OK . I wonder about the rate of interest of the account . +Interest is paid at the rate of 1 % per annum at present . And it is added to your account every year . +Thank you very much . +My pleasure . +How much is the voucher worth ? +It is worth 100 yuan and your bill comes to 230 yuan . The difference is 130 , please . +Here it is . +Thank you , sir . Could you sign the voucher here , please ? +OK . Here you are . +Thank you , sir . Hope to see you again soon . +Sorry , I'm late . +It doesn't matter . +Freeze ! Police ! Put your hands over your head ! +What did I do ? I haven't done anything . +You're under arrest for concealing illegal drugs . +What do you mean ? +You are suspected of hiding illegal drugs . So we are taking you into custody . +I didn't do anything . +We've found some heroin at your house . +No , I didn't . I'm innocent . Those aren't mine . Whatever you found is someone else's stuff . You can't prove anything . I wasn't there when you went in , and you can't prove it's my stuff . +That may be , but you're still under arrest . And you'd better stop talking . +I don't need your help , jerk . +Whatever you say . +I think I'm going to go to the market today . +Do we need food ? +Yeah , I think so . +What are you going to get ? +I'm not sure what we need . +Maybe you should go and look in the refrigerator . +Could you do it for me , and write out a list of things that we need ? +Just get the basics . +Like what ? +You know . Get some eggs , milk , and bread . +Just go and make a list for me , please . +Fine , I'll go do that for you . +Jenny , Can you come and help me ? +Mom , what should I do ? +It's dusty everywhere in the house . Can you help me do the housecleaning ? +OK . I will call Peter to clean it together . +That's my good girl . The clothes need washing . I'll do the laundry . +Mr . Phillips ? I have a request here from purchasing that needs your approval . +Let me take a look . This is for a 486 computer with modem . Who ’ s it going to ? +I believe it ’ s going to Ms . Wilson ’ s office . +Get her on the phone , please . I need to clarify this . +Excuse me , what material is it ? +Rhaki.Do you want some ? +No , where are the cotton cloths ? +I will show you . +What is the shrink rate after washing ? +Less than 5 % . It's quite durable . +Our supervisor Lester does . Actually , Lester is kind of like the kitchen god . +The kitchen god ? What does he do ? +He just stays in the kitchen and watches you . Before the Chinese New Year , the kitchen god tells his boss whether you were good or bad this year . Just like Lester does ! +Oh , no ! I did a lot of bad things this year . I hope the kitchen god isn't like Lester--he blabs my mistakes to everybody ! +Actually , there's a way to keep the kitchen god from telling the bad things you did . +What is it ? Tell me ! Will it work for Lester , too ? +I think so ! Just serve a lot of sweet dishes next week . That will make the kitchen god say sweet things about you ! +Hmm . Are you sure that will work ? I already tried giving chocolate to Lester . +And what happened ? +His face broke out and he said it was my fault ! +I need a taxi . +We could easily provide you with a private vehicle , if you'd prefer . +No , the taxi will do . +Perhaps you'd like to take a beautiful limousine . +No , thank you . Taxis and I get along just fine . +No private vehicle , no limo . Got it . Where are you going ? +I'm seeing a show at Rockefeller Center . +What time should the taxi be here to pick you up ? +I'm ready to go right now . +I'll have a taxi for you momentarily , sir . +Great ! As soon as I brush my teeth , I'll be downstairs . +You'll enjoy our new , clean taxis , sir . +Excuse me . +Yes , sir . Can I help you ? +Um , this steak , I asked for to be medium rare . +Medium rare , that ’ s right , sir . I remember your order . +Well , I ’ m afraid it isn ’ t . It ’ s a bit too well done and rather tough . Would you mind changing ? +If it is not to your satisfaction , I ’ ll certainly bring you another . But I ’ m afraid you may have to wait for a few minutes . +Yes , that ’ s all right . Thank you very much . +Judy , what do you think of the new general manager ? +He has extensive experience , although the guy ’ s really deep , sometimes , it scares me . +I heard he's very clear about his likes and dislikes and he's not the type to just let things go , so don ’ t provoke him . +I know , and that's why I'm always respectful and I keep my distance . It's safer that way . +Me too , I don't know why , but every time I see the guy , I break into a cold sweat . +It's in the eyes . They're the type that seems to look into your soul , making one really uneasy . +Whatever we said , we must be more careful . +Yes , I agree with you . +I ’ m interested in all kinds of your products , but this time I would like to order some fireworks and mosquito coil incense . Please quote us C . I . F . Rangoon . +Please let us know the quantity required so that we can work out the premium and freight charges . +I ’ m going to place a trial order for 1,000 units of a dozen fireworks and 500 cartons of mosquito coil incense . +All right . Here are our F . O . B . price lists . All the prices are subject to our final confirmation . +Your price is reasonable but I wonder if you would give us a discount . You know for the products like yours we usually get 2 % or 3 % discount from European suppliers . +We usually offer on a net basis only . Many of our clients have been doing very well on this quoted price . +Discounts will more or less encourage us to make every effort to push sales of your products . +The quantity you ordered is much smaller than those of others . If you can manage to boost it a bit , we ’ ll consider giving you a better discount . +As far as a trial order is concerned , the quantity is by no means small . And generally speaking , we like to profit from a trial order . I hope you ’ ll be able to meet our requirements . +Well , as this is the first deal between us , we agree to give you an one-percent discount as a special encouragement . +1 % ? That ’ s too low a rate . Could you see your way to increase it to 2 % ? . +I ’ m afraid we have really made a great concession , and could not go any further . +It seems this is the only proposal for me to accept . I ’ ll come again tomorrow to discuss it in detail . +All right . See you tomorrow . +Hello , can I help you ? +Yes , my engine warning light is on . +How long has it been on for ? +Just since today . +You can still drive , without problems . +It runs fine . +Let's check it out . There'll be a $ 45 charge to check it over . If you fix it with us , we'll include the $ 45 into your repair . +Okay . +Please write down your address and phone number , and sign here . +Okay . +It'll be about an hour . Are you going to wait ? +No , you can give a call when you have done checking . +No problem . +Have you gone to school today ? +I went to school today . Did you go to school ? +I couldn't go to school today , I was sick . +That's horrible . I'd be happy to give you the assignments from English class . +Thank you very much , that's kind of you . +Don't mention it . +When you miss a day of school , I'll be happy to give you the English assignments . +That is greatly appreciated and I hope you feel well enough to go to school tomorrow . +Can I order something from the kitchen ? +Just tell me what you'd like , please . +A bottle of champagne , lobster tail , and filet mignon , medium rare would hit the spot . +I hate to tell you this , but we have no more filet mignon . May I suggest the porterhouse instead ? +Sure ! Right now , I would even eat hamburger ! +Have you ever tried chocolate-covered strawberries with champagne ? +Thank you , but I just finished eating some chocolate-covered cherries . +That'll be a bottle of champagne , lobster tail , and porterhouse , all charged to your amenities account . +Not a problem . +Please call if you have any other requests . Your food will be delivered promptly . +Sorry to trouble you . Can you tell me how to get to the City Bank ? +It's about two or there blocks away from here . +How long will it take if I walk ? +It'll take you about 15 minutes . +These three hours chatting with you have been very ... interesting . Could you please tell us why we're here ? +I want a new brand image . Something creative , something strong . Make no mistake , something with ... resolve ! +What is our time frame ? +Let's meet on Friday to discuss your progress . Give me your e-mail address ... umm , I mean addresses ... We'll be in touch . +May I take yor order now ? +Yes , what do you have for appetizer ? +We have caviar , foiegras , lox , cold beef , sour cucumber ... +Well , please bring me the cold beef . +OK , sir . Do you want some soups ? +Are you voting tomorrow ? +Of course . What about you ? +You know that I am . +Where is your polling place ? +It ’ s at the park up the street . +Oh , is that right ? +Where ’ s your polling place ? +I have no idea . +How come you don ’ t know where it is ? +Nothing came in the mail telling me my polling place . +You should check online . +Oh , really ? Thanks , I ’ m going to do that right now . +Why aren ’ t they are aware of the gravity of the situation ? +Because they are rednecks . +Sir , I've finished your shaving . Wow , it takes years off you after having a shave . +Really ? You've done a good job . +Thank you . May I suggest you to trim your eyebrows ? +I have never heard that men would trim their eyebrows . Are you kidding ? +No , sir , I am serious . Haven't you heard that today men are becoming increasingly interested in having their eyebrows professionally groomed ? +Do you mean that it is a trend for men to trim their eyebrows ? +Absolutely . Several men have tried it in my A shop . Do you want to try ? +Yeah , let me have a try . +Can I stay out all night with my friends ? +No way . +But we'll be careful . +It's out of the question . +I'm sleepy . I can hardly keep my eyes open . +Why don't you go to bed ? +I think I will . +Hello . +Hi , my sweetheart . It ’ s Dad . +Hi , Dad . Where are you ? +I ’ m at work right now . You can reach me at 905 675 9870 . Please call this number if you need me . +Thank you , Dad . +I love you . +I love you , too , Dad . +She's a Persian . She has papers and everything . Not like a street dog . +Cats chase mice , don't they ? +And bugs . They can catch anything . +Do you have to walk a cat ? +No , they use litter boxes or go outside by themselves.Thev ' re so smart . +But then you have to change the litter box . +It's better than picking up dog poop . +The washing machine isn't working again . +It's not my fault . +Now we arrive at the Cambridge University , it is one of the oldest universities in the world . +I wish I had studied here . It's more than a university . +In 2009 Cambridge will come to its eight hundredth anniversary . +Woo . It has such a long history . I think I should take more photos of the university . +What do you think of our price ? +Your price has gone up sharply , hasn't it ? +Yes , we regret we cannot maintain our original price . Since the prices of the raw materials have been raised , we have to adjust the price of our products accordingly . +I agree with you there , but you price is unreasonable . +I don't think so . You must compare our price with that it other export houses . I'm sure our offer is in line with the prevailing market price level . +I don't think we will be able to pay the price . To have this business concluded , you need to lower your price at least by 3 % . +I'm afraid that there is no room for any reduction in price . +Don't you agree with me that in the long run moderate prices we bring about large sales and more profit ? +We've already cut down our price to cost level . +Is that all ? +Yes this is the best we can do . +I'm sorry , we can't handle the price you offered . +A report says running red lights causes one thousand traffic accidents every year . +It ’ s horrible . Why do drivers run a red light then ? +Maybe they know they shouldn ’ t run a red light , but when they are driving they don ’ t pay enough attention to traffic lights . +Talking on the cell phone while driving is very dangerous too . It increases the chance of accidents . +I know . If a policeman catches you using the cell phone while driving , you will be fined . +What are the requirements to apply for the position ? +Your major must be computer . +Do you think my educational background suits this position ? +Yes , I ’ m quite satisfied with your qualifications . +Does this job require that new employees take any kind of training course ? +Generally speaking , training new members is usually necessary . We offer our new employees a one-week training course . +Could you tell something about the job ? +Yes , of course . You will be responsible for the designing and developing new products and also be in charge of the evaluation of the software programs including complex software systems to ensure product features and operation complaints . +Oh , I see . I believe I can do the job well . +Good morning , Miss.Are there boat tickets to Miami on the first of September +Yes , there are . What cabin would you like ? +I'd like the first-class cabin for two . What's the fare ? +It is 150 dollars each . +How long is the boat time-table effective ? +The boat time-table is effective from the first of August till the first of November +I want to know what port does our ship stop at ? +The ship will stop at New York . +How long will the trip take from here to New York ? +It will take 5 days . +Thank you . +Did you order the cake ? +Oh , I forgot . +Get on the phone right now . It might not be too late . +I ’ m so sorry ! OK , so you just want a simple message on it . +Yeah . How about “ Happy Birthday Tony , from the gang . ” +I ’ m on it ! +What would you like to eat ? +I'd like a hamburger with lettuce and tomato . +How about something to drink ? +A Coke , please . +OK . I'll see if I can get waited on . +Hey , Robert , that's a nice shirt you are wearing . Where did you get it ? +thanks , I like it too . I bought it at the nearby department store . +that's nice . Do you know you can get one at the wholesale market near the zoo for a much lower price ? +yeah , I know that . But at those places . the prices they ask you are ridiculously high , and if you don't bargain hard , you will get ripped-off . +true , learning how to haggle the price is one of the things people have to pick up when they come to China for the first time . +yeah , but personally , I hate bargaining . If I bargain , I might come to a lower price , but I will never know the true price of what I am buying ; and I always have the feeling that I am overcharged at th +yeah , I have the same feeling . Also there is another thing that bothers me the quality . Things in a department store are usually quality-guaranteed . But at a wholesale market , you never know whether w +that's why I like department stores more . Shopping at a wholesale market like the locals is one of the few things I am unable to grow accustomed to . +I understand . While it's always good to follow the local customs , I guess there are exceptions . +When will the campus recruitment of L'Oreal being this year ? +According to their scheme , it will begin on September 10th . +It is really early , isn't it ? +Yes , it is much earlier than past years . +Dahua's Market . How can I help you ? +Where is your store located ? +We are on Nanjing Road , next to the theatre . +Right , I'll be right over . +Excuse me . Can you take me to the airport ? +Which airport , ma'am ? +Kennedy Airport . +All right , ma'am . Need any help with your luggage ? +Thank you , but I'd rather keep this case with me . +What do you think a job is ? +Well , a way to make a living , of course , but beyond that I think a job is a way of developing oneself as a person . +Where do you see yourself three years from now ? +I wouldn't like to hold a specific title . I just want to enjoy what I am doing . +That sounds reasonable . +It's the most important thing to me . +Fine . What kind of relationship do you think should exist between a boss and his or her employees ? +I think a company is a place to get work done . Certainly friendly , open relationships among all company employees is important , and I think an employee should be serious about his or her work responsibilities and have a professional relationship with the boss . +You'll have a definite answer from us within a week . Goodbye . +Goodbye . +Oh , here comes a bus ! +It's here at last ! +How long have you waited ? +Twenty minutes exactly . +I am so busy today . +Can I help you ? +I ’ m not sure . Perhaps you could do the shopping . +I ’ ll be glad to help . +Or maybe make the beds . +All you have to do is to ask for help . +Thanks . That ’ s terrific ! +I ’ m ready and willing to help . +Do you like this dress , madam ? +I like the colour very much . It's a lovely dress , but it's too small for me . +What about this one ? It's a lovely dress . It's very smart . Short skirts are in fashion now . Would you like to try it ? +All right . I'm afraid this green dress is too small for me as well . It's smaller than the blue one . I don't like the colour either . It doesn't suit me at all . I think the blue dress is prettier . Co +I'm afraid I haven't got a larger dress . This is the largest dress in the shop . +Can I help you ? +Wait a minute , please . +Have you made a reservation ? +No , I'd like to book a single room with one double bed . +How long will you be staying ? +2 nights , how much does it cost ? +A single room costs you $ 85 / day . +Does the charge include everything ? +Yes . +Do you require a deposit ? +No , You can pay when you check out . +What's the date today Mr.Brown . I don't have a calendar . +Today is Tuesday , 25th September , 2001 . +25th Sep ? Oh , I have an appointment tonight . +What time is your appointment ? +It is at 8 o'clock . +What time is now ? Do you have the correct time ? +I don't know what time it is.It must be about 6 o'clock . I have to go now . I don't want to be late . +You won't be late.It ' s still early . +Excuse me ! How can I get to the post office , please ? +Well , turn left at the first corner after the crossroad . It's near the corner . You can't miss it . +Thank you very much . +It's my pleasure ! +Hello , stewardess . Could you bring me a blanket ? I feel so cold . +Sure , anything else ? +I'd like a pillow as Well . +OK . Here you are . +Have you started cleaning up your room yet ? +I haven't gotten started on my room yet . +When exactly do you plan on cleaning it ? +I have every intention of cleaning my room later . +I thought I asked you to clean your room earlier . +I already told you that I'm going to do it . +Remember to vacuum the floor and dust everything . +I'll remember to do that . +Make sure that you don't go anywhere until you clean your room . +I'll clean my room before I leave . +Do you think I should join the basketball team , Mary ? +Why not ? If I were you , I certainly would . +But I'm afraid it'll take up too much of my time . +As the saying goes , work while you work , play while play . All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , you know ? +Hmm , you're right . +Good morning , Sir . Are you here to get some advice about our new Personal Financing Program ? +I am indeed . What can you tell me ? +The account is a compound savings account , which is in RIB and Forex . +Do I get a card ? +Yes , you can have a Money Link card . You can also base the account on time deposits . The choice is yours . +How about the interest ? I'm not really happy with the interest I'm receiving through my Current Account . +The interest on this new account is higher than any of the accounts in our Personal Financing . +That sounds better . Also , can I use the one card for several accounts ? Say , if I have two or three accounts and want to transfer money from one to the other ? +Yes , you can have multi-accounts on the card , you can also make transfers from the account and securities companies and various other benefits . +That's wonderful . +Ladies and Gentlemen , this is the Statue of Liberty .

Please tell me how to do it . +It's easy . Press O and then P . Then it will ask you for your password . +What do I do after I've typed in my password ? +Just press ENTER and you've done . +Where on earth are we going to borrow at 3 % ? +We can borrow from a bank , the gross interest rate will be something like 7 % . With corporate tax at say 30 % . We are only paying on 50 % of this . There is still inflation to consider . +You can knock off another 2 % for that . +We can borrow as much as we can . +Not quite , if we get too heavily in debt , the shares will tend to drop . +How much loan capital can we safely raise then ? +I would like to have notice of that question , I will give you an answer in a week . +So you're going picnicking ? +Yeah . I'm going with Jennie . +Have a good day ! +Thank you . +I went to the doctor yesterday . +I beg your pardon ? +I said I had been to the doctor the day before . +What did he say ? +He said I ' d got the flu . +Oh dear !

Let me give you my business card . +I'll give you mine too . +How was your flight ? +Not bad , but I'm a little tired . +Here's your schedule . After this meeting , we will visit the factory and have another meeting with the production manager .

If the price is acceptable we would like to order now . +I'm very glad to hear that . +What's your best price for that item ? +The unit price is $ 12.50 . +I think the price is a little high , can't you reduce it +I'm afraid we can't . $ 12.50 is our rock bottom price . If you purchase more than 10,000 units we can reduce it to $ 12.00 . +Well , I'll accept the price and place an initial order of 10,000 units . +Very good .

After graduating from high school in New York I attended York University in the UK . My major was English , and my minor was business studies . I completed my BA in 2004 . +Yes , I ’ m pleased to see that you also got a distinction . +Yes that ’ s right . I ’ Ve always enjoyed studying . My friends say I ’ m a bit of a bookworm , but my father always pushed us to succeed school . +Well , it looks like his encouragement paid off Rebecca . So how about extracurricular activities at University ? +Well I ’ Ve always been keen on writing , so I became the editor for the University student newspaper , which I really loved . Also I volunteered for a group called Shelter , to help the homeless in York . +What did that involve ? +Providing warm meals and shelter , especially in the winter months . I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group . +I ’ m sure . Okay , now let ’ s move on to your work experience , shall we ? +Yes , okay . +You owe $ 36.78 . +Here ’ s my VISA card . +I ’ m sorry , but your card isn ’ t working . +What ’ s the problem ? +The machine says your card was declined . +It was ? +Do you have another card ? +That ’ s my only one . +Maybe you can just pay in cash ? +No cash today . +I guess you won ’ t be able to purchase these items today . +I ’ ll come tomorrow with cash . +Marriott Street . +How do you spell that ? +M , A , double R , I , O , double T . +Right . Got that . +I would like to get my driver's license today . +You will have to take your driving test . Have you taken it yet ? +I haven't taken it yet . +Could you fill these papers out , please ? +Can I take my test right now ? +You need an appointment . +I would like to do that right now , if I could . +Is Friday good for you ? +That's perfect . +Okay , so Friday at what time ? +The morning would be nice . +All right . Come in on Friday at 11 +Have you moved into your new house yet , Michael ? +We just moved in yesterday , actually . +So , what do you think about the place ? Are you glad that you moved in ? +It's great ! Unfortunately , we're going to spend a fortune doing everything up . +How old is the house then ? +It's about 200 years old . It has a lot of history ! +Sounds fascinating . Where is your new house located ? +It's just off of the ring road . +Do you have a big yard ? +It's bigger than our last one . I've got flowers in the front , and fruits , vegetables and a fish pond in the back . +Is your house well-lit ? +Oh , yes . Our windows let plenty of natural light in . They've also got wonderful views of the park behind our house . +How many rooms does your house have ? +Right now , there are three bedrooms , two barrooms , a kitchen , a sitting room , a dining room , and a living room . We're hoping to add on a green room and a guest bedroom . In fact , when the guest bedroom is ready , you should come and stay with us for a weekend . +I'd be up for that ! +Mary , we're going to the supermarket . Do you want to come ? +Yeah . I need to get some stuff . +Let's all go together then . +Where's Lisa ? +She's getting coupons from her desk . +What are coupons ? +They give you discounts on some stuff that you want to buy . +Really ? +Because there is a coupon for almost every product , we always bring coupons on our shopping trips . +Wow , you ’ re up early today ! What ’ s for breakfast ? +Well , I felt like baking , so I made some muffins . +Smells good ! I ’ ll make some coffee . Do you want me to make you some eggs ? +Sure , I'll take mine , sunny side up . +Www , I don ’ t know how you can eat your eggs like that ! Ever since I was small , I ’ Ve had eggs and soldiers . +You know , my dad had scrambled eggs every morning for twenty years . It drove my mom crazy ! +You know what really drives me crazy ? When I ask for soft boiled eggs , and they overcook them , so they come out hard boiled ! How can you dipyour toast into a hard boiled egg ? +You ’ re so picky sometimes . +Here you go , honey , fried eggs . +Dammit ! I asked for sunny side up ! How many times do I have to tell you . +Hello , come in , I've been waiting for you . +Than you , I'm not late , am I ? +No , no , no , not at all.It ' s just that I've been looking forward to meeting you . +Well , thank you , but it's not all that hard to do , you know . I've been calling your office and sending you proposals for about two years now , and you've never responded before . +Ha , ha , ha ! Yes , I guess I deserved that . Let me explain , okay ? +Please , I wish you would . +Well , as you probably know I buy from a selected group of suppliers and don't , as a rule , deal with new people . +Yes , I know that . It's why Ive been trying to become one of those suppliers . I hear you're a good man to do business with . +I'm very old-fashioned . I believe in loyalty.Once I start a sales relationship with someone , I stay with him or her , and we so most of our business on the phone . I expect their absolute best price possible and don't haggle.But if I find out they screwed me over , then I find another supplier . +That's pretty much what I heard . +Well , those are my terms . As long as you honor them , we do business.If you break faith and try to take advantage , I'll find someone else to work with . Can you live with that ? +No problem at all , Mike . Just give me the chance . +Hi Ron , this is Kim at headquarters . +Oh , hi Kim . How ’ s it going ? +Great , thanks . I was calling to change our meeting next week . +Ok , sure . When did you have in mind ? +Well , I was hoping we could reschedule for early next month , Our trip has been postponed until the 2nd . +Why don ’ t ’ we say the 3rd around 2:00 p . m . ? +That works for me ! I will call you when I get into town to reconfirm . +Great . Talk to you then . +Watch out ! You'll hit that car if you're not careful . +Oh no , I won't . But we will have an accident if you don't stop shouting . +You see . I told you you'd hit him if you weren't careful . +Oh , shut up , will you ? It was all your fault . If you'd kept quite this would never have happened . +Oh , so it was my fault , was it ? If I hadn't warned you in time it would have been much worse . +If you're observant you'll see rare birds , insects , butterflies , and a few reptiles . But you must look for them . There are also a few am-phibians in lower places . +Well , let's move , I can see a rest area ahead.We can relax there , and see what wildlife is around ... +Huh ! I am really out-of-shape , Why aren't you out-of-breath ? +Because I come hiking every week . That's why I'm in good-shape . I think that I should bring you a walkingstick next time . +How can you say that ? But , you could give me a piggyback the rest of the way . +So , you want me to carry your backpack , your thermos flask , our picnic , and you as well . No problem , jump on . +Hi , Steven , take a seat ! How are things at work ? +It's coming along well , but it is a little delayed . +Can you finish it on time ? +I'm pressed for time and I am afraid I need someone to help me . +OK , I will send Beker to help you . We need to get the brochures done and sent them to our clients on Friday without delay . +OK , we promise to do it well . +OK , I just want to brief you all on the travel market in Taiwan . To start with , generally speaking , the travel industry in Taiwan focuses mainly on tours . This segment of the industry is well developed . +Sorry to interrupt , Doris , but can you tell me more about these tour groups , what kind of things they enjoy , and so on ? +Yes , of course . Most of the time , when they travel , they prefer to do so in large groups accompanied by a guide , who usually takes care of everything , for instance , choosing the restaurants , the itinerary , the mode of transport , and things like that . Another thing is that most travelers to the UK tend to be middle aged , around 40 to 50 or so . This age group is less adventurous ; they like good hotels , and have money to spend . They kind of prefer to stay in the cities where they feel safer . They are not into mountain climbing in Wales or anything . +I don ’ t mean to interrupt , but can you tell me what plans you have for growing the youth market ? +Just a moment . I'll tell you about that in a minute . Where was I ? Oh yes . By way of illustration , let ’ s look at the top five destinations in the UK for this kind of traveler over the last five years . If you look at page ten you can see what I mean . In spite of these characteristics of the market , I still think there is room for growth in the youth sector . +So how do you intend to do that ? +OK , let me tell you what we ’ Ve been doing . We ’ Ve been in touch with the Wales and Scottish Tourist development offices here in Taiwan and they ’ re interested in working with us to promote their regions to the youth segment . We ’ Ve decided to implement an advertising campaign focusing on the excitement of the activities in those regions . +May I interrupt you for a moment ? +Go ahead . +How much is it going to cost , and who is going to pay ? +Well , at the moment we are trying to work out those details . We haven't managed to come up with a concrete plan yet , but we are working on it . +I see . OK . So what ’ s next ? +Well , our intention is to have some features about these regions in some youth magazines . We ’ re also going to run some ads on TV and put some flyers in places where young people go , like the gym and student organizations . We ’ re making arrangements to have some activities at big shopping malls and department stores around town . +Where is the boss ? I need him to sign a few documents . I checked in his office , but he is not there . Is he out of the office now ? +Yes . Today is Tuesday , so the boss went off to his MBA seminar class . He is out of the office every Tuesday and Thursday mornings , and he has classes all day Saturday and Sunday . +What's he studying ? +He is finishing up a special continue education program for executives . He can continue working , taking a few of classes here and there , and in 2 years he will complete his MBA . +Sounds like a tiring schedule.He ’ s probably got a lot of homework too , eh ? +The classes have him out of the office , so that is stressful for him . But as far as homework goes , it is a breeze for him . +Why is that ? +He just has his secretary do his homework for him . +Hello , reservation desk . Can I help you ? +Yes . I ’ d like to book a duplex suite . +What day would you like to reserve the suite for , sir ? +Next Friday . +I ’ m sorry , sir . We can ’ t accept reservations for next Friday due to over booking . May I suggest another hotel , sir ? +Oh , thank you very much . +Please hold the line . I ’ ll see if there is a duplex suite available on that day . ( a minute later ) Sir ? Holiday Inn is available for your need . +How do I contact them ? +I ’ ll give you their phone number . It ’ s 601 789 5634 . +Hello , I would like to speak with Ryan . +This is Ryan . How may I help you ? +Ryan , this is Malia , and I am afraid that I am feeling a bit under the weather . +Do you know what the problem is ? +I have a horrible rash from poison oak . +Have you had it a long time ? +The doctor said that I probably have had it a few days . +Have you been using anything for it ? +I bought some over-the-counter lotion , and I am taking an antihistamine . +That will probably take care of your symptoms . I ’ ll see you tomorrow . +Mmmm ... This apartment seems a little expensive . Do you have any cheap studios ? +Actually , the one-bedroom is the only vacant apartment right now . +Do you think any studios will open up soon ? +No , not for a few months . +Can I help you with something ? +I need to cancel one of my accounts . +Is there a problem with it ? +I don ’ t need it anymore . +What would you like to do with all the money in this account ? +Just transfer it over to my remaining account . +I can do that . +That would be great . +Do you want to take any money out ? +Not today . +It ’ s going to take a moment for me to cancel your account . +That ’ s fine . Take your time . +Hi , Nancy . How are you doing ? +Hi , Tom . Want a cup of coffee ? +Not right now . I've got to get another car and my old one is blown up . +Oh , hey , did you look in the classified ads ? +You mean used cars ? +No , Ah ... single sellers . +Well , yeah , but I'd be getting somebody else's problems . +Uh huh . How about a used car ? They've got good ones now . +It's the same kind of deal though , you know , you never know what you're going to get . +Oh , hey , how about a new car ? They've got easy loans now . You'd feel so good driving a new car . +Let's look at them all . Have you got a paper there ? +What's wrong with you ? +I have got a run . Can you tell me where is the restroom ? +It's just around the comer.Would you need some pills ? +No , thank you . I have brought some . +Hi , Zina . Lots of people are looking for you . +Like who ? +Like Elvin . He isn't too happy about what you promised Stars.com . +I've got it under control . +You do realize that it isn't humanly possible for us to finish by next week ? +What if you had three more top-notch programmers to help you ? +That would definitely make a difference . But Vince already said no . +Good morning , how have you been doing ? +I haven ’ t been able to take a deep breath lately , and I need to know why . +Have you had any type of bug lately ? +No , I ’ Ve been feeling fairly good most of the time . It just is hard to breathe . +Has anyone ever told you that you have allergies ? +No one has ever checked me for allergies . +Does this happen more when you are under stress ? +When the weather gets really cold , it gets worse . +I am going to refer you to a pulmonary specialist who can run tests on you for asthma . +Thank you for pursuing this . I appreciate your help . +Let's go to Wangfujing by bus . +Better take the subway . It's faster , and more convenient . +OK , it will be a new experience for me . +We have a rather comprehensive subway system here . You can get almost anywhere rather quickly on a subway , especially at this time of day when the traffic is heavy . +Where do we pay the fare ? +Just give the man standing there 3 yuan and he'll give you a token . Then , you slip it into the slot at the turnstile and push the turnstile to get in . +Let me pay for it . Where can I get a subway map ? +Ask the worker who sells tokens to give you one . It's free fo charge . Actually maps showing subway routes are posted at most stations . +Do I have to pay an additional fare to change trains ? +No , you don't have to . Here comes the train . +What should I do if I notice a fire ? +Raise the alarm by breaking the glass of the nearest fire alarm . Call Security , say ' Fire ' and give your name and exact location . At night you should phone the fire service from the nearest telephone . +Should I try to put the fire out ? +If you discover a small fire , you can try to put it out with a fire extinguisher but only do this if you have been trained . Make sure you use the right extinguisher . They are all colour-coded and contain different substances to put out the fire . +Do you know the restrictions about the carry-on items for exiting ? +Yes , you can take small sum of money and important items such as passport and keys and business documents and so on . +What are the things that are forbidden to take in departure ? +There is a long list of those things forbidden , including explosives , gum opium and precious cultural relies and so on . +Hey , how are you doing ? +Could you do me a favor ? +Sure , whatever you need . +Can you help me move this table ? +How are you , Sue ? +Pretty good . I ’ Ve just had my new poems published . +Congratulations on your success . +Thank you . +And how ’ s your brother ? +He is fine . +He ’ s going to be sent to Britain to study , really ? +Yes . He ’ s already got the passport and visa . +Fantastic ! Please send him my congratulations . +Thank you . He ’ s very lucky indeed . +Excuse me , can I have your passport , your immigration form and your Customs Declaration Form , please ? +OK . Here you are . +How long will you be staying at Hotel in China ? +About three weeks . +And what's the purpose of your visit ? +Sightseeing . +And where will you be staying ? +At the Friendship Hotel in Beijing . +OK . Could you put your hand baggage on the counter , please ? Do you have any gifts , or food in here ? +Yes , I have some fresh apples in my suitcase . +I'm sorry , sir , you can't bring fresh fruit into China . I'm going to have to confiscate these . +Oh , that's too bad . +Well , Yuri , tell me about it . +I'm sorry I can't bring better news , sir . The site is a disaster . +That's what I was afraid of . +It is not only the earthquake , sir . But the mudslides.Much of the north half of the site has been covered over by mud . +Mud ? But Ivan told me there were no mudslides in that district . I thought all the mudslides were down in Chichitango . +That's what we thought , sir . That's what the news reported.But there was one little mudslide in our district too . Right above our site . +Oh , that's terrible ! What bad luck ! I wish we had never come to this country.But , if it isn't the strikes and the revolutionaries , it's the earthquakes.Our operations here are finished ! +I'm sorry , sir . +It's not your fault , Yuri.But tell me . When will Ivan be able to get out there ? +Well , it took me about nine hours to get back here by car.If Ivan leaves tonight , I think he should be there by tomorrow lunch . +Good . I want an estimate of damages as soon as possible . +But sir ... +Yes , Yuri ? +I wouldn't recommend sending Ivan now.Especially not at night . The roads aren't safe . +Has the earthquake damaged the bridges too ? +No , sir . The bridges are fine.But I've heard rumors that the revolutionaries are coming down from the mountains.There has been fighting , sir . +Are you serious ? Fighting ? But I didn't hear anything on the news . +You know the government controls the press here , sir . They don't want it reported . +Oh , this is terrible , Yuri . Terrible ! So we can't even assess the damages . How can we do business in this country ? Either we're buried under mud , or we're in danger of getting kidnapped.No , I can't believe this mess ! +I'm sorry , sir . +You don't have to keep saying that , Yuri . It's not your fault.But me--I'm the one who should be sorry.It was me who suggested operations here in the first place ! Oh , what can we do ? +Would you like chicken or beef ? +Chicken , please . +Here you are . +Thank you . Oh , can I have another drink ? +Certainly . The service cart will be down the aisle again soon . +Your dog is really cute . What's his name ? +His name is Bingo . +What kind of dog is he ? +We're not sure because the neighbour gave him to us after they moved away . +Well , he sure likes to run around a lot . Is he well behaved ? +Oh yes , he is . When he was a puppy , he liked to chew my father's shoes , but he's okay now . +That sounds like my cat . She likes to scratch the couch with her claws . +I didn't know you had a cat . When did you get her ? +About a year ago actually . You've probably never seen her though . +Really ? Why is that ? +She's not a house-cat . She stays outside most of the time . +Bingo could never do that . He stays in the house except when we take him to the park . +You are seemingly upset . What's behind you ? +Arden wants to have a trademark for our new series of products registered . But I have no idea on the registering process . +That's not as complicated as you suppose . +Is it so easy ? I never experienced this . Can you tell me something about it ? +It is known that there is a time limit for trademarks . And we should not have a similar trademark with the one in the same field . +Based on what you said , does it mean that we can not have a trademark like ' genova ' , right ? +Correct . And our country follows the priority of use principle . +Can you tell something about the preparation for the register ? +Some relative documents will be needed and the fee may be quite dear . So you need to learn more about the process and regulations about this issue . +Hello sir , how can I help you ? +Yes , I need this prescription please . +Let ’ s see . Okay , so 50 mg of Prozac , would you prefer this in capsule or tablet ? +Capsules are fine . +Okay , you should take 1 capsule 3 times a day . Be sure not to take it on an empty stomach , and also , don ’ t ever mix it with alcohol ! +Yes , I know . It ’ s not the first time I ’ m taking this ! Don ’ t worry , I won ’ t overdose ! +Okay , anything else I can get you ? +Oh , yes , I almost forgot ! Can I also get some eye drops and um , some condoms ? +Sure . Darn condoms aren ’ t registered in our system . +Oh , well that ’ s okay , I ’ ll get some later , thanks ... Really it ’ s no problem . +Just hang on there a sec . Can I get a price check on ” Fun Times Ribbed Condoms ” please ! +Good coming , sir . +Good morning . +Would you mind moving to the middle of the bus ? +Of course not . But I don't know when to get off . +Where are you going ? +I'm going to Wangfujing . +Don't worry . I'll let you know when we get there . +Thank you very much . +I will be accompanying you on your tour today to visit our company . This is the assembly line . These drawings on the wall are process sheets . They describe clearly how each process goes on to the next step . +How many workers are there on the lines ? +About 200 . They can assemble at least 3,000 computers every day . +Oh , it's highly efficient . +Yes , since I came to this company , I was told that high efficiency is essential for the further development . +How do you control the quality of the products ? +Well , all products have to go through five checks in the whole process . We believe that the quality is the soul of an enterprise . There fore , we always put quality as the first consideration . +Yes , quality is even more than the quantity . +Mr . Chandler , this way please . I will show you a five-minute multivision about the history of our company . +Good evening , sir . I think we have reservations . Have you fixed them ? +Let me see . Your name , please ? +My name is Paul Harper . +Sorry . What was that you said ? +I'll meet you at the Gate round about seven . +Where ? +At the Gate . +When , did you say ? +Round about seven . +Who's coming ? +Peter . Peter Brown , you know . Don't forget to bring the letter . +Sorry . I didn't quite catch what you said . There's a lot of noise outside . +I told you not to forget to bring the letter . +Loretta ? No , she can't come , she's busy . +We ’ re asking for donations today . +What are you collecting donations for ? +We ’ re trying to raise money for the campaigns . +How much are you planning on raising ? +As much as possible . +What kind of fundraisers are you doing ? +We are going door to door . +You should try actual fundraisers , too . +What else can we do ? +Try having a car wash or selling candy . +I didn ’ t think of that . +I know . It ’ ll also help you make more money . +Oh . I just wanted you to shut up . You were off-key anyway . Let me see that ! +OK ... just grab it right out of my hands ... +What a cool see-through blue ! How do you wear this thing ? +That piece fits on to your ear . It hooks right on . And you just put the other one in your other ear . +How do I turn it on ? +May I serve your dishes now ? +No , I'm used to having tea first . +With sugar ? +No sugar , please . +Excuse me . I bought this just now and here's a receipt . I'm afraid I was short-changed . Could you look into it ? +Oh , really ? Just a moment ... You paid with a ten-dollar note and I gave you ... Oh , sorry , here's a five left . I'm terribly sorry . +Excuse me.My bag was stolen.Will you help me ? +When did it happen ? +Just about half an hour ago . +Tell me where it happened and how ? +Yes.It was just when I was walking in the park . I saw some children with a newspaper . +That happens often these days.Well , please fill in this " Report of Theft " . +I want to get in touch with the Chinese Embassy , because my passport was in the stolen bag ! +Do you eat a lot of fruit and vegetables in you country ? +Yes , we do . The most popular vegetables are potatoes , carrots , peas , and cauliflower . The most popular fruit are apples , bananas , pears , peaches , grapes , and oranges . Do you like vegetables ? +I like them very much . We also eat a lot of vegetables in my country , buy we eat different kinds . +Which kinds of vegetables do people in your country usually eat ? +We eat a lot of sweet corn , broccoli and eggplant . +I love eggplant ! Unfortunately , it ’ s quite expensive in my country , so I don ’ t eat it often . +Why is it relatively expensive ? +Because we don ’ t grow it much in my country . We import a lot from other countries . +I see . We grow a lot of fruit and vegetables in my country . We export a lot of melons , grapes , oranges and lemons . In your country , do you eat corn on the cob ? It's very popular in my country . +We eat it in my country too , but I wouldn't say it ’ s very popular . Most people buy frozen sweet corn from their local supermarket . +Do people usually buy frozen vegetables in your country , it ’ s very rare in mine . +A lot of younger people like to buy large packets of mixed frozen vegetables . Peas and sweet corn have been sold frozen in my country for many years . I prefer to buy fresh vegetables . +Yes , sir ? +Could we have the bill , please ? +That's 68 pounds altogether , please . +That's alright . Here you are . +What are the requirements that you need to do the job ? +We want someone who can operate the common office equipments and have special skills in photography . +I can handle that . I can operate word - processor , fax machine , photostat , and other office equipments . +What do you think of your own qualification ? +I have a master's degree and I meet all the needs you want , so I am confident of doing this job well . +Mark ? What were you up to yesterday ? I called you , but there wasn ’ t anybody home . +We went out to the stadium . Bob hadn ’ t been to a game for a few weeks . +How ’ d it go ? Did we win ? +Nope , lost again . But , it was a good game . +Do you mind if I ask you a question ? If it ’ s too personal you can forget it . +I don ’ t mind at all . You can ask me anything . We ’ re friends . +Have you got a scholarship , or are you on your own ? +I have a scholarship from my government for four years . How about you ? +I have a tuition scholarship from the university . Otherwise I ’ m on my own . +Do you mean that you ’ re self-supporting ? I didn ’ t even know you had a job ! +Oh no . My family supports me . And believe me , changing foreign money into dollars is heart-breaking . You seem to get so little in return . +Yeah , I really know the feeling . I can ’ t wait to graduate so I can get a good job and earn my own money . +I am so busy today . +Can I help you ? +I ’ m not sure . Perhaps you could do the shopping . +I ’ ll be glad to help . +Or maybe make the beds . +All you have to do is ask for help . +Thanks . That ’ s terrific ! +I ’ m ready and willing to help . +Excuse me , where are the canned goods ? +The counter is at the end of the aisle . They are kept in the ice chest . +Thank you.And where can I buy some delicatessen ? +The delicatessen department is on the second floor . +Thanks a lot . +Alpha Beta Courier Service ? This is Louise Walker calling from The Marketing Company . +Good morning , Ms . Walker . What can I do for you ? +We need to deliver some documents to our Monroe street branch . Can you come by and pick them up ? +Of course , Ms . Walker . Could I have your account number , please ? And , when do these documents need to arrive ? +May I help you ? +Yes , I ’ Ve come in apply for the position as head of claim department . +I ’ m Smith , the manager of Human Resources Department . May I ask your name ? +My name is Zhang Due . +Would you tell me what education background you have ? +I graduated from Beijing College of Foreign Trade . My major was International Trade . +Do you have any experience in this field ? +Yes , I have been working in Lush Insurance Company for four years . +OK . Do you think you are proficient in both written and spoken English ? +Yes . +OK . I will accept you for a three months-period of probation . Is this satisfactory ? +Yes . +Welcome to our factory . +I've been looking forward to visiting your factory . +Actually , you'll know our products better after the visit . I'll show you around and explain the operations as we go along . +That'll be most helpful . +Maybe we could start with the Design Department . And then we could look at the production line . +How much do you spend on design development every year . +About 10 % of the gross sales . +That's fine . +Are you here to make a deposit Mr Hayes ? +No , Nancy , today I'm here to make a withdrawal . I made a formal request 7 days ago . +You want to withdraw on your Time Deposit , right ? +That's correct . But before I do , I was wondering if you could give me some advice . +Of course , Mr Hayes . That's what I'm here for . What would you like to know ? +Maybe I'm making a big mistake cashing in my Time Deposit before maturity . +This bank charges you 6 months interest as a penalty if you withdraw before maturity . Would it be possible to take the money from your Current Account , for example ? +No , not really . My Current Account is for cash flow and couldn't withstand having all of that money taken from it . +You would be using mainly English in this job . Do you think you can make yourself understood in English with ease ? +Yes , I think I speak English quite fluently . I've often explained historical places in Xi'an to foreign tourists in English . They say my English is quite good . +How many years have you been learning English ? +Oh , more than ten years . I started learning English when I was still in a primary school from a foreign teacher . +Well , perhaps that's the reason why you are so fluent in it . +Certainly . +Hi , I'm Benjamin . Nice to meet you here . You look great . +Thank you . Nice to meet you too . I'm John . Is this your first time to take a long-distance trip on plane ? +No , this is the second time . But I also feel bad because of the lower pressure and the jet lag . +Oh , I am sorry to hear that . Take it easy . It will be OK soon . You see , I take this long-hour plane frequently , but the jet lag still makes me uneasy . +Oh , that's too bad . Do you get a good knowledge of China ? +Yes , whenever I think about China , I'd see the Tian'an Men Square . China is a very beautiful country . And I've seen many landmarks in China but I like the Great Wall most . +All of the Chinese are proud of the Great Wall . And it was built before the In dynasty near Shan Haiguan-the First Pass in the World . +Was it built before the In dynasty ? I thought it was in the Ming dynasty . +No , before the In dynasty . +Oh , yeah . Thought I am an American , I know quite a lot about China and I like Chinese tea very well . +Both the green tea and the black tea are good for our health . And I usually refresh myself with a cup of tea . +Yeah , many of my friends like Chinese tea and whenever I go back to China , I'll take some Dragon-well green tea for them . +Do you like the Chinese traditional silk ? +I heard about it , but I don't have any clothes made from silk . +Go and pick some stuff up . The price can always surprise foreign friends . +Oh , I'm eager to have a try . +Hi . What can I get for you ? +I ’ d like a half a pound of ground beef , please . +Good choice ! Our ground beef is extra lean , if you know what I mean . +Could I also have half a dozen pork chops and two pounds of boneless chicken breasts ? +No , no no no chicken breasts at the moment , but we have some nice chicken thighs . +No , that won ’ t do . I ’ ll take this smoked ham you have here . +Okay , is there anything else ? +Is this salami and bologna you have here ? +Yes ! It ’ s very fine meat ! Made it myself ... +Sounds good . Okay , that ’ s it . +Wait ! We have T-bone , rib eye , and sirloin steaks . They are very fresh ! Just came from the slaughter house ... +Mmm ... No that ’ s okay , really . I think that ’ s all for today . +Okay . That will be thirty-four dollars and fifty cents . +I ’ m reporting from Channel 5 News . +How are you doing ? +I want to ask you a couple questions . +Go for it . +Have you voted yet ? +I voted this morning . +Who was your vote for President ? +I can ’ t tell you that . +Why can ’ t you tell me ? +That is private information . +I see . +All I can tell you is our next President got my vote . +Billy , you don ’ t look too well . Maybe you should take the day off school . +But Mom ! Today we ’ re playing football ! I love football ! +You ’ Ve god a fever and playing football isn ’ t a good idea for a boy with a fever . What ’ s that on your arm ? +I don ’ t know . It was there when I woke up this morning . +It ’ s a rash . I ’ d better take you to see the doctor . How did you get that bruise on your leg ? +I bashed it against the chair in my room . +Does it hurt ? +A little , but not much . +Here . Put this wet towel on your face to keep your temperature down . I ’ ll take you to the doctor ’ s after breakfast . +If I ’ m better this afternoon , can I go to school ? +If you are better , but I doubt you will be . +It's time to graduate and it's time to find a job . Susan , why do we need to find a job ? +We need to work is because we need money to live . We need money for food and clothes and to pay for our house . We need money for many different things , and only when we work , we can earn money . And work can also help us feel that we are useful . +But you know it's hard for a new graduate to find a job right now . +Yes , it is really hard . But you must believe that you will find a suitable job finally . When you work , you can accumulate a lot of experience . Besides , you need to learn a lot of things while you are working . +I've been fed up with study . +But whether you like it or not , there ’ s a trend of life-long study to make sure that we can keep ourselves up with the high developing society . And you need to accept this concept positively . +Oh , my . Why there are still so many things to learn after graduation ? +You have no choice , so you'd better adjust your thoughts to be ready to learn anything at any time . +Excuse me ? Can you do me a favor , please ? +It's my pleasure , what can I do for you ? +I'm from England and I'm trying to make a travel plan for today . +What brings you here ? +I'm a flight attendant and I'm here on vacation . +Where are you staying ? +I live in the Holiday Inn Lido Hotel . +Oh , it's not very far . And as far as I know it is a fancy place . +Yes , it is . Do you know where I can get a town map ? +We sell them , right here . +Great , do you have any for foreigners ? I mean English version ? +I called about that ad we saw in the paper . +For the construction site manager ? +That's the one . +What happened ? +You were right . It was from a headhunter . She wouldn't tell me anything without a contract . +Well , no surprise there . +No ! Not at all . But , I did find out they have more than one position with different clients , so at least one would probably work . +Great , so are you going to sign a contract with them ? +I'm going there tomorrow . +Great . Good luck . +Did you get a chance to speak with the sellers about my counter-offer ? +Yes , and I think I have good news for you . +Did they accept the counter-offer ? +Yes , they accepted your counter-offer , but they want you to pay for the home inspection . +How much will that cost ? +It will cost you around five hundred to one thousand dollars for a home inspection . +Can I choose the home inspector ? +Yes , you are paying for it , so you get to choose . I would pick the best one . +So , when are you going to inform the owners of my acceptance ? +I will call the owners right now . They will be happy to hear the good news . +This is our rock - bottom price , Mr . Li . We can't make any further concessions . +If that's the case , there's not much point in further discussion . We might as well call the whole deal off . +What I mean is that we'll never be able to come down to your price . The gap is too great . +I think it unwise for either of us to insist on his own price . How about meeting each other half way so that business can be concluded ? +What is your proposal ? +Your unit price is 100 dollars higher than we can accept . When I suggested we meet each other half way , I meant it literally . +Do you mean to suggest that we have to make a further reduction of 50 dollars in our price ? That's impossible . +What would you suggest ? +The best we can do will be a reduction of another 30 dollars . That'll definitely be rock bottom . +That still leaves a gap of 20 dollars to be covered . Let's meet each other half way once more , then the gap will be closed and our business completed . +You certainly have a way of talking me into it . All right , let's meet half way again . +I'm glad we've come to an agreement on price . We'll go on to the other terms and conditions at our next meeting . +Yes , there's one other point I wish to clear up . +What is it ? +My friends in business circles all seem to be of the opinion that the U . S . import and export corporations have become more flexible in doing business recently . +Yes , they're right . In fact , we have either restored or adopted international practices in our foreign trade . +I'm glad to hear that . With a view to expanding and further enhancing the bilateral relations between our two parties , and in particular , exchanging timely views on specific problems in the execution and enforcement of contracts , is it possible for us to have a representative that could stay permanently in Washing - ton D . C . ? +Basically speaking , yes , we welcome the establishment of repry - tentative offices by foreign companies in Washington D . C . Of course , there are more details to be attended to . We cannot settle it in a few words . +Yes , of course . I'll call my home office tonight and let them know about it . When do we meet again ? +How about tomorrow morning at 9 ? +Good . I'll come back tomorrow , and we can then discuss it more specifically . +Good evening , may I help you ? +Yes . I would like to book a table for 2 at 7:30 tomorrow evening . +I am sorry , there are so many travelers that all our tables have been booked on that day . +In that case , please put my name in your waiting list . We know you are quite a good restaurant . +Thank you , sir . We will phone you as soon as we have a vacant table . +Mr . Smith just called me back . +So ? +We got the contract ! +All right ! +What's wrong with you ? +I feel so tired . +I really recommend you go for a run in the morning . +Why ? I'd just be dead tired for the rest of the day . +On the contrary ! It really refreshes you and gets you ready to attack the day . +Are you sure ? +Yes , I often feel like a million dollars after work , like I can take on anything . +OK . Let me try . +Welcome ! +Would you give me a bottle of beer , please ? +With ice , sir ? +No , ice will spoil the taste . +Anything else , sir ? +Yes . Something non-alcoholic , please . +Fruit juice , milk or mineral water ? +A glass of juice please . +Coming up immediately . +Hello , 35 .. +Is this Ann ? +Speaking . +Ann , this is Sam . Look , Ann . I wanna see you again . How about a drink tonight ? +I am sorry . I am very tired . I'm going to bed early . +What about tomorrow evening ? +No , I ’ m sorry . I'm going to meet some friends tomorrow evening . And I'm in a hurry now . +But Ann .. +How much do you have budgeted for our trip to Las Angeles ? +In total , it should be about $ 5,000 for the week conference . Would you like to see the breakdown ? +Yes , I want to know exactly where the money is going . Give me a detailed report . +First we have the airline tickets , which are $ 500 per person ; with four of us going , that's t $ 2,000 . For our accommodations , we're spending $ 80 a night , per room , for five days . That's another $ 800 . +Weren ’ t you able to find anything less expensive ? We're sharing rooms , right ? +I have two people to a room . The $ 80 room rate is the lowest I could find . With the conference going on that week , all the hotels have inflated their prices , they're making a killing . +So far we have $ 2,800 , what else ? +I have budget $ 25 per Peron per day for food expenses . That totals another $ 800 . And for other incidentals , like take fees , and tips , I have estimated about $ 400 . +Well , that's only $ 4000 . Didn't you tell me your budget was $ 5000 ? Where is the rest of the money ? +That's my buffer ... I wanted to leave a little room in the budget , just in case---it's better to be safe than sorry . +Could you please stop flipping the channels ? +I ’ m very sorry . +Good morning , room reservations . Can I help you ? +Yes , my name is Peter . I have made a reservation for a single room from June 18th to June 21st . I'd like to make some changes . The reservation should only be to June 20th . +A single room from June 18th to 20th . Is that correct ? +Yes . +OK . Do you need a limousine service ? +That's exactly what I want . How much does it charge ? +A hundred and eighty yuan for one way . We have a counter at the airport where our representative will lead you to the car . +It sounds good . I'll take that . +Thank you , sir . We look forward to serving you . +Hello ! +Hello ! Could I speak to Sheerly Lim please ? +Sure , just a second . Who's calling ? +This is Sue from work . +Ok , sue , I will just go in get her . +Gosh , another stop.It seems the cars ahead of us have to stop every two minutes , It's no quicker than a bus . +That's true . During rush hours , taxis are just as quick as buses . +It was silly of me to have taken a taxi . +At least , it can free you from the crowd . By the way , do you come from China ? +No , from New Zealand , sir . I visited New Zealand and saw lots of overseas people there . +Wow , like America . It receives a great number of visitors every year . +The more the world becomes open , the more people become international ! +I have never done this before and don ’ t know where to begin as far as making an offer on this house . +Leave the details of making the offer up to me . What were you thinking you should offer ? +I absolutely must have this house and will pay three hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more . +It is best to start a little low on the first bid to allow for a counter-offer . How about offering three hundred and twenty thousand dollars ? +I hope that the owners aren ’ t insulted by that offer . +Your offering price is not out-of-line . The owners will either take it or make a counter-offer . +Does it usually take very long for the owners to get back to you with an acceptance ? +It usually doesn ’ t take very long for owners to respond to an offer . +Should I be in touch with my bank to tell them to get the loan papers ready ? +The only thing you should do now is relax . You already are pre-qualified for your loan . +Is there a swimming pool in this hotel ? +We don't have a full-sized swimming pool , but we do have individual swim stations . +What exactly does that mean ? +Basically , a swim station is like a treadmill , except instead of running , you swim . +That sounds really neat . Is there an extra charge for these swim stations ? +If you're a registered guest , you have free access to our swim stations . +Are the swim stations open 24 hours , like the rest of the gym ? +To conserve electricity , the stations operate only from 7a . m . till 10 . +I'll go down there as soon as I can ! +I don't think you'll be disappointed . People really seem to like the swim stations . +So that will be one teddy , two terry cloth robes , three pairs of satin slippers , and two pairs of pajamas . +Does all that come to 10,000 NT ? +Let me see ... yes , 15,880 NT . After the discount , your total comes to 12,704 NT . Here's your free teddy bear , free panties and your card application . +Where do I sign ? +Right here . And write your address . You'll get the card in the mail within a week . +OK . +I know your friend will like the gift set , especially the teddy bear . +Well , the teddy bear is for me ! +Remember to keep your receipt in case your friend needs to make any exchanges . There are no refunds on sale items . +My name ’ s Terry Graham . You ’ re new around here , huh ? +Yes . My name ’ s Mark Benson . I just started a couple of weeks ago . +Well , if there ’ s anything I can do for you , let me know . +Thanks , I appreciate that ! +Welcome back . +It's good to be home . +Why do you want to be a teacher ? +It's a job I have been dreaming of for many years . While it is difficult , I am convinced that there is nothing more noble and rewarding than this profession . +Do you know about our school ? +Yes , a little . I know your school is one of the best known in this town . There are about 200 children in the school . +There's someone coming . +It took them four minutes to get here . That was pretty fast . +Yes , it's fast . But four minutes is enough to do fifty thousand dollars damage . +I guess the fire wasn't in the tool shed after all.It looks like the back of the house was burning . +I wonder if anyone can call the Ridleys about this . Do you know them well ? +Not really . +Do you know where they're vacationing ? +I think they went to Mexico , but I'm not sure.It ' s a bad thing to return home to.They ' ll come home from their trip , and they'll see half their house burned . +Yes , but at least this way no one gets hurt.It ' s better to have a fire in your house when you're not home . Don't you think ? +Yes , I suppose . It's a dangerous thing if a fire starts when people are sleeping . +Can I help you ? +I'd like to buy a skirt . +What style would you prefer ? +I like one with flowers on its brim . +Do you like this one ? +It seems too short . +What about this one ? +It looks nice . How much is it ? +70 yuan . +Is there any cheaper one ? +This one is only 50 yuan . +I think I'd better take that one you showed me just now . It is better than this one although this one is cheaper . +All right . +Here is the money . +Thank you . Anything else ? +No , thanks . +Walter , did you email that document to Mr . Lin yesterday ? +Yes , I did , Ms . Chen . +That's strange . I have Mr . Lin on the phone right now , and he says that he didn't receive any email from us yesterday . Are you sure you sent it ? +I'm positive , Ms . Chen . +Here is an invitation for you . +Oh , thank you . What is the occasion ? +Tomorrow is the tooth anniversary of our company . Our general manager invites you to a dinner party . Do you think you can manage it ? +Oh , yes , I'd very much like to go . +That is great . Dinner starts at 6 +I'll be there in time . +All right . Bye . +Bye . +John Li's Office , this is Jenny , may I help you ? +Is Mr Li in ? +Yes , but let me check if he's available . +Ok . +your mp3 looks so cool . Where did you get it ? +I bought it online . +really ? Do you often shop online ? +yes . I buy most of my daily necessities online . +I've never tried E-shopping . Is it better than shopping at an actual store ? +yes , much better . You can log in a website , browse through many items and categories comfortably at home , order the goods , pay by credit or debit card , and the goods will be delivered to your home . +sounds good , and I don't have to queue up at the cashier . +and you can still go " window shopping " just like in a real shopping mall . +well , are there any other advantages ? +yes , most of the shops are closed at 22 or even earlier , but the internet operates 24 hours a day , seven days a week , and can be accessed anywhere . +are there many choices of online shopping ? +sure . You can buy almost anything you can think of . +perhaps I should have a try . +I'll have a whole-wheat loaf , three white loaves , a baguette and ten rolls , please . How much is that ? +The whole-wheat loaf is 45 cents , the white loaves are 35 cents each , the baguette is 27 cents and the rolls are eight cents each . That makes two dollars fifty-seven cents . +There you go . +Thank you , ma'am . Forty-three cents change . Have a nice day . +I feel dizzy and I have a headache . +How long have you been sick ? +Since yesterday . +I enjoy the folk song and dance show very much . +I'm glad you appreciate our folk music . But a live performance is much more interesting . +I can't wait anymore . When does the performance start ? +The show starts at 7 and is over at around 10 o'clock p . m . +( After the show ) It's an excellent musical . The acting was very expressive and the songs and dancing were superb . +I'm glad you enjoyed it . It's had long run , but the house has always been full . +What do you think of the leading actors ? +Personally I liked the main character . He was true to type . +You are a better judge . I don't know the play well enough . +Are you OK ? +I'm fine . I'm just so touched by the sad story . +So I can say now that you must have enjoyed the opera . Which scene is your favorite ? +I love them all . But if I had to name one as the best , I would say it's the ending . +What's it about ? You know , I couldn't help falling asleep . +Did you ? I didn't notice that . But still you should know it , for you have seen it with Laura before . +I guess I've done the same thing last time I was here with her , too . I mean falling asleep . For me , this one is not that attractive . +Then I doubt if you like operas at all . +Yes . I like Carmen very much . But I don't mind if you want to tell me about this one . +OK , then . The man was old and he was visiting his wife's grave , with a rose in his hand . When he got there , he saw someone already put a rose on her grave . +Very impressive . And I do like the leading actress who has an amazing voice . +Me , too . There was always a good round of applause every time she sings . +Yes , the applause ! That was what kept waking me up during the show . +And it's been such a faultless performance with the perfect lighting , and music . Just amazing ! +No doubt , it's not a simple thing to put on a ' phantom show ' . +Exactly . +I need a taxi to the airport . +It is unnecessary . I'll see you off at the airport . +Traffic rules are different among countries . +For example ? +People drive on the right in China . +Oh , that's interesting ! +Excuse me , would you tell me who that girl is ? +She's Betty.She ' s Mr Goldman's niece . +Would you love to introduce me to her ? +Yes , I'll be glad to . +What can I do for you , sir ? +What have you got this morning ? +Fruit juice , cakes and refreshments , and everything . +I'd like to have a glass of tomato juice , please . +Any cereal , sir ? +Yes , a dish of cream of wheat . +And eggs ? +Yes , bacon and eggs with buttered toast . I like my bacon very crisp . +How do you want your eggs ? +Fried , please . +Anything more , sir ? +No , that's enough . T hank you . +Excuse me , are you Mr Williams from America ? +Yes , I am . +I'm Li Ming from CITS . Glad to see you . +Glad to see you too . +Good afternoon , doctor . +Good afternoon . What can I do for you ? +I'm an athlete for the Olympic Games here . +About half an hour ago I fell on the ground and hurt my leg . It bled a lot . +Let me have a look . You're very lucky because the cut is not deep . +First , I'll clean up the wound and then dress it . +Must I stop all my training ? Will I be able to attend the games ? +Take it easy . It's not serious . You should keep the wound very clean . +Don't do strenuous exercises until your wound is healed . +Thank you very much , doctor . +Not at all . You'll be OK soon . +Hi Sam . +Hi Chris . I am glad to see you . Can you help me with my new computer ? +When did you buy your new computer ? +I bought it yesterday afternoon and they delivered it this morning at 10:45 . +So what's the problem ? +I am not sure . I just can't connect to the net . +Can I have a look ? +Of course , come in . +Oh this is the new little EEE notebook from Asks . How much did you pay ? +It was only 345 pounds . +Very nice . I am sure we will sort out your Internet in no time . +I am on my way to the doctor now , but I should be back in about 45 minutes . Can I come back at around 3:15 ? +That will be perfect . +I'm planning on going to the market soon . +What are you buying ? +I don't know what we need . +I can check for you , if you'd like . +I'll make a list . +First , we need eggs , milk , and bread . +OK ! Do we need any meat ? +How about some chicken , ground beef , and some steak . +What else do we need ? +Get some snack foods , too , dude . +Is there anything else that we need ? +No , but if you can think of anything else , just get it . +Are you being served , sir ? +No , not yet . I just want a haircut . +Will you sit here , please ? How would you like it cut ? +I want it short . +But it's short already , sir . +I mean very short , shorter than it is now . +Shall I just trim it ? +No , You can cut quite a bit off . I like it to be very short all over . Do you see what I mean ? +Oh , I see . You like the Chinese style , don't you ? +Yes , in the Chinese style . +Would you like to have a shampoo , sir ? +No , thank you . +How about oil or spray ? +No , nothing of the kind . +There ! How is that ? +That's very good ! +Hello . Do you like this jewelry ? I made most of these items myself . +You really have talent . How did you learn to do this ? +My mother taught me some tricks of the trade . I've always loved jewelry . +Me , too . But I could never make bracelets like these . +I've been making these designs for over ten years . You can have a bracelet for ten dollars . +I'll take one right now for seven dollars . +It's a deal ! +Excuse me , sir ? +Yes ? +I'm afraid you can't smoke here . +Why not ? +Can't you see the notice here ? +I'm sorry . I can't . What does the note say ? +It says ' No smoking ' . +Sorry , I'm very near sighted . +I called about that ad we saw in the paper . +For the bank manager ? +That ’ s the one . +What happened ? +You were right , it was from a headhunter . He wouldn't tell me anything without a signed contract . +Well , no surprise there . +No ! Not at all . But I did find out they have more than one position with different clients , so at least one would probably work out . +Great , so are you going to sign a contract with them ? +I ’ m going there tomorrow . +Great ! Good luck . +And I think I'll look in on a few other Employment Agencies while I ’ m downtown , to see what they have . +Good idea . The more people you ask , the better your chances are . +Hello ! I'd like to get busy on my computer , but I need some broadband . +There's an Ethernet cable in your room . Just plug it into the back of your laptop . +Uh-oh ! I can't use Ethernet . My computer is wireless only . +That's okay . I can tell you about some alternatives we have . +Any alternative that works will be great . +Well , there's our computer lab on the first floor . +That sounds good . What's the charge ? +The lab and the computers are no charge , but you have to pay for whatever you print . +That sounds good . Now , how about the other alternatives ? +Of course . Our lobby is set up for wireless , so just bring your computer down here . +Use my laptop in the lobby ? That's great ! Now , if I need to print something there ? +They plan to install a printer here . But until then , you'll have to use the lab . +I have to do some shopping . +What are you going to look for ? +I'm trying to buy a new bedroom set . +What store are you going to ? +I'm not sure . +You don't know ? +I have no idea where to find one . +Would you like me to tell you where I got mine . +I would appreciate that . +I went to get mine from IKEA . +Is the furniture at IKEA cheap ? +They're not cheap , but neither is their furniture . +Hello ! How do I get online with my laptop ? +Just plug the Ethernet cable into your computer , and you'll be online in a heartbeat . +Well , I see the cable . But my computer runs on wireless only . +No problem . I'll tell you about our alternatives . +Yes , I'd love to hear what the alternatives are . +Our state-of-the-art computer lab is on the first floor . +Great ! But is it free ? +Sir , the computers are free to guests , but you do have to pay a nominal printing fee . +You said there were other alternatives ? +Just use your computer here in the lobby . It's set up for wireless . +Okay . That sounds like a winner . Now if I need to print something in the lobby ? +We might have a printer here next month . But for now , you'll have to go to the lab . +Why have you decided to change jobs ? +I hope to change because my current job is not within my chosen field . Since my major was international banking , I really hope to work at a bank . +Then , why do you want to work for our bank since it's a new establishment in Shanghai ? +Because your bank is a new one , I think I'll be given more opportunities , and the working conditions and surroundings are so excellent here . +It certainly is . But the work is also hard here . You need to put a lot of long hard hours on the job to succeed in this field . +I expect to work hard , madam . +Do you mind going on frequent business trips ? +No , I enjoy travelling . +One of my students told me she was very depressed today . +Why ? +Her father is dying . +Oh , that ’ s very sad . +Yeah , she ’ s broken up about it , poor kid . +What did you do ? +I talked to her for a while , but she ’ s really depressed . So , I made an appointment with the school counselor for her . +That ’ s a good idea . The counselor is a psychologist . He ’ s better trained to handle these sorts of things . +Yeah , that ’ s what I told her . I ’ m glad she ’ s reaching out for help , instead of trying to deal with this on her own . +Yeah , me too . +I'm very annoyed at your disobedience . +But mum , I didn't mess it up . +You should have asked for my opinion before you did it . +Sorry , mum . I won't do it again . +You'd better remember your promise . +Thank you for purchasing your new mattress with us . +No , thank you . +Would you like us to deliver the mattress for you ? +That would be great . +When do you want it delivered ? +I need it delivered tomorrow . Will that be possible ? +What time exactly ? +I need it delivered at 12 . +We can have it to you at that time . +That's not a problem ? +We will deliver your mattress tomorrow at 12 o'clock . +That's great ! Thank you very much . +Your silk garments have aroused much interest in our country ever since our first order was put on the market . We have no doubt we can do better this year if you appoint us your sales agent . +We appreciate your intention , but the amount of your orders last year was moderate . +That's true . However at the Fair last March , people were so interested in Chinese garments that the demand this year will surely increase . +Do you think it will help if we appoint a local agent ? +I'm sure it will , if we are appointed your agent . Your garments are attractive , and we , a well-established importer with multiple sales channels , can boost the sales . +Well , we'll consider your proposal . +Hey , don ’ t walk on the lawn . +Sorry , I ’ m looking for my wallet . +You lost your wallet ? Anything important in it ? +Yes . A lot of cash . Almost forty thousand pounds . +Oh , I ’ m sorry to hear that . I think you ’ d better talk to the police officer walking there . +It seems that is a better way . Thank you . +You are welcome . +I'm so tired ! I don't know how I'm going to make it through this lecture . +the professor is a bit boring today . You need something to perk yourself up . How about a coffee ? +I don't really like coffee , to be honest . It's too bitter for me . +well , you need something to wake you up . How about a soda ? +most some drinks have too much sugar in them . +the diet sodas don't have any caffeic in them , which one would you like ? +I like diet sprite . Does that have any caffeine in it ? +unfortunately , it doesn't . how about some diet coke ? +I don't care for coke . I heard that coke was first used as a medicine and I don't like medicine . What else has caffeine ? +maybe you should try a cappuccino or a latte ; they taste much better than plain brewed coffee . +maybe . How about a mochaccino ? Are they any good ? +you'll love that . It's just a shot of espresso beans mixed with steam milk and some chocolate syrup . +that's perfect ! Would you like one , too ? My treat . +thanks , but I'll stick with some jasmine tea . I'm trying to watch my diet . +Hey , let ’ s go to the night market after work tonight . +That ’ s a good idea . I haven ’ t been in a while and I need to get a new backpack . The old one is hanging on by a thread ! +That reminds me I should buy some new socks to go hiking this weekend . +Shall we share a taxi ? +Where are you heading now ? +I want to go back to my college on the Huanghe road . It is very close to your house . +Is that the university next to the Teachers ' College ? +That's the one . +You mean we'll share the taxi ? +Yeah . If we share the cab , it'll be cheaper . Besides that your Chinese is better than mine . The drivers usually have difficulty understanding me even though I practice my pronunciation carefully . +Well . Don't worry about it , I will be happy to share the taxi with you . +Did you go to the basketball game on Friday ? +No , I couldn't make it . +You missed a really good game . +Oh , really ? Who won ? +Our school did . They played really well . +Too bad I was busy . I really wanted to go . +Yeah , you should have . It was really exciting . +So what was the score ? +The score was 101-98 . +Man , that was a really close game . +That's what made it so great . +I'll make sure and make it to the next one . +Hello , BCD Company , can I help you ? +Hello , may I speak to Mrs Smith ? +This is Mrs Smith , may I have your name ? +This is Sun , and I interviewed with you yesterday . +Hello , Mr . Sun . +I am calling to thank you for giving me the interview for the Sales Manager position yesterday . +You are welcome , Mr .

I don't think we need the MP4 any more . We would like to refund it . +May I see your receipt ? +Here you are . +I am sorry , sir . You bought it 2 weeks ago , and you can only refund it in one week . +Why aren't you doing your homework ? +I'll do it later , Dad . I must prepare the concert on Saturday . +Oh , is it ?

You don't understand at all . +I certainly could.You ' ll get exams next month . +I don't need it to play the guitar . +Oh , don't you ? God save me ! +I'm sorry . +Good morning . What seems to be the problem ? +Good morning , doctor . I feel terrible . I ’ Ve god a cold and I have a rash here on my neck . I ’ m not sleeping well either . What do you think the problem could be ? +I ’ d say you ’ Ve been working too hard or are under stress for some reason . Have you been taking anything for your cold ? +Yes , I bought some medicine at the chemist ’ s . I ’ Ve been taking it for three days . +Good . I ’ m going to prescribe something stronger .

It ’ s done now , so I can relax a little . +Good . Let ’ s take a look at that rash ... it looks worse than it is . I ’ m going to prescribe some ointment for it . If the rash doesn ’ t clear up in a few days , come back and see me . Do you have any other symptoms ? +I have a bad headache , but ... +Don ’ t worry about that . It ’ s probably of the stress you ’ Ve been under . Just take some aspirin . Combined with the stronger cough medicine , it will make you feel very tired . You shouldn ’ t work or use any equipment which requires concentration . If I were you , I ’ d just sleep , read a book , or watch TV . Here is your prescription . +Thanks doctor . I ’ ll get these immediately .

Now , sir , do you have a credit card ? +Certainly ! Would you like my American Express card ? +Regrettably , Mr . Sandals , we accept only MasterCard or VISA . +I thought American Express was accepted everywhere . Never mind . Here's my VISA . +Thanks . You're in room 507 , a big , nonsmoking room , with a queen bed . Is that okay , sir ? +Yes , that's just fine . +I'm happy to hear that . Here is your key . Just dial 0 if you need anything . +I need a pan . +Okay . Do you have a particular size in mind ? +Well , the bigger the better , I think . +Look at this one . It's our biggest pan . +Yes , that is big enough , but it's too heavy for me . +Okay , we have the same thing in aluminum . +Oh , this is nice and light . But it has an aluminum handle . +Try this one . Same aluminum pan , but with a heat-resistant bamboo handle . +Oh , yes . This is very nice . I'll take this one . +That's a good choice .

Goodbye . +Hello , Frank . +Hi , Steven . What's new with you ? +Not too much . I'm looking to rent an apartment . +Why ? +I dislike my roommate . He really turns me off . +What happened ? Did you have a fight ? +No . He likes to leave his things about and never cleans the room . +I hate that , either . Did you tell him your feelings ? +Yes . But he doesn't care . I really wouldn't want to move , but I simply can ’ t stand him . +It's a problem . You'd better move . +Good morning , sir . Can I see your boarding pass , please ? +Here you are . +Excuse me , sir . This is your passport . +Really ? Ugh ... Is there any difference ? +Yes .

You are creating a commotion . +Is that me ? +Could be . +Oh , thank God . Thank you , I'll be right back . +Madam , I made a close study of the draft contract yesterday evening . I think there are something needs to modify . +Which terms ? +First , about the terms of payment . Your draft contract says that payment is to be made by D \ A . This is not our practice . We prefer to have the payment made by L \ C through a negotiating bank in America . +Good . I will add this to the contract . +The second thing I would like to point out , that is packaging . It's stipulated in the contract that all the computer parts should be packed in cardboard boxes . But I think the wooden cases are much safer . +Well , you are right . Is there anything else ? +As far as the contract stipulations are concerned , there is nothing more . Thank you very much . +Well , we have agreed on all the major points . +Can you shorten this pipe for me ? It's too long . +Sure . I'll do it after lunch . What length do you need ? +Can you take 15 mm of it ? +Yes , no problem .

You just don't know what it is yet . +Where do you come from ? +I come from England . +What's the climate like in your country ? +It's mild , but it's not always pleasant.The weather's often cold in the North and windy in the East . It's often wet in the West and sometimes warm in the South . +Which seasons do you like best ? +I like spring and summer . The days are long and the nights are short . The sun rises early and sets late . I don't like autumn and winter . The days are short and the nights are long . The sun rises late +Most people in Montreal speak French . +Are there any people who speak English ? +Only less than 20 percent of the citizens speak English . +I had fun talking to you . +It was really nice talking to you also . +I think we should really do something sometime . +That should be loads of fun . +What do you want to do next time ? +Would you like to go to dinner or something ? +Yeah , let's do that . +Okay , until next time then . +I'll call you so we can set that up . +Talk to you then . +All right , see you . +See you . +Good evening .

I'm visiting my relatives . +How long are you going to stay in the United States ? +Three weeks . +What is your occupation ? +I work as an accountant for a Romanian telecommunications company . +Do you have a return ticket ? +Yes , here it is . +That's fine . Thanks . Enjoy your trip . +Thank you . +Where to , ma'am ? +The Grand Hotel . +The Grand Hotel ? +Yes . Do you know where it is ? +No , Madam . I don't think I do . +It's the 11th Avenue , Park Street . +Oh , yes . I know where it is . +Have you found another job yet , Sally ? +No , I haven't , but I've seen several interesting advertisements in the paper . +What kind of job are you looking for ? +Either something in the hotel business or something to do with travel . +You haven't had any experience in either of those fields . +I know . But I'd like to try . Look , here are some advertisements that I've cut out . +Excuse me . Do you mind if I ask some things about work for this company ? +Not at all . Go ahead . +I've heard that the company is very strict with its staff . Is that true ? +Not really , so long as you follow all the regulations . +If you make mistakes in your job , you'll be fired . Is that right ? +No . Everyone has a chance to correct his or her mistakes . The most important thing is to be responsible for your work . +Working here involves a busy schedule and overtime . Is that true ? +Yes . That's true . We are always busy . The company attaches great importance to high efficiency . Sometimes we have to work overtime , but not always . And we have extra pay for extra work . +It seems that working in a foreign enterprise is not the same as I expected . Thank you for your help . +What wrong with you ? You look pale ? +I ’ m not sure . I feel hot and cold . +When did the trouble start ? +I was sick most of the night . +It sounds like you ’ re coming down with the flu . Let me take your temperature . +Have I got high fever ? +Yes . Thirty-eight point seven . Do you have a headache , chestache or throat pain ? +Yes , I have . +Now , Let me have a look at you . I ’ d like to listen to your chest . Breathe then , deep breath , that ’ s it . Cough , now again . I want to exam your throat too . Open wide , say A . +ah . +Yes , It does look a bit sore.Let ’ s take your extra way of your chest and give you a few tests . +All right , thanks . +The tests showed nothing wrong . a slight by infection . +What shall I do today ? +I ’ m giving you some antibiotic and aspirin . Taking aspirin when you ’ Ve got a fever and take one antibiotic until four hours and go home lie in bed for two days . Take some water then you feel better . +It's time to graduate and it's time to find a job . Susan , why do we need to find a job ? +We need to work is because we need money to live . We need money for food and clothes and to pay for house . We need money for many different things , and only when we work , we can earn money . And work can also help us feel that we are useful . +But you know it's hard for a new graduate to find a god job right now . +Yes , it is really hard . But you must believe that you will find a suitable job finally . When you work , you can accumulate a lot of experience . Besides , you need to learn a lot of things while you are working . +I've been fed up with study . +But whether you like it or not , there ’ s a trend of life-long study to make sure that we can keep ourselves up with the high developing society . And you need to accept this concept positively . +Oh , my . Why there are still so many things to learn after graduation ? +You have no choice , so you'd better adjust your thoughts to be ready to learn anything at any time . +How many ports do we call at on our passage ? +Four ports . +The ship is going very fast . +Perhaps she makes about 25 knots an hour . +You look pale . Are you seasick ? +I don't feel very good . +I have some tablets for seasickness . +They give me no help at all . +Then we'd better go back to our cabin . +You have been so busy these months .

Here's my card . +Have you got some nice apples in stock today ? +What about these ? They are very fresh and exceptionally juicy . +Are they sweet ? +Very sweet . +How much are they ? +These are a dollar each and those are 75 cents each . +All right , I'll have a dozen of the dollar ones . +OK . Anything else ? +Do you have any tangerines ? I'd like to have two kilograms . +Yes , we've just had some wonderful tangerines in from Tailband . Here they are . +How much is it in all ? +Thirty dollars . +What kind of life do you prefer , city life or country life ? +In comparison to city life , the country life is quiet and peaceful . +But it doesn't have all the modern convenience offered by the city . +Yeah , I agree.Every wall has two sides . +What do you think about our company ? +You are the leading company in the computer industry . +Why do you think so ? +First , your overwhelming share in the world market . Second , your superiority in sales and profits in addition to the amount of capital and the number of employees . Third , the diversity in your production line is second to none . +In what business are you most interested in this organization ? +In particular , I'm interested in marketing in the domestic field . +Excuse me , do you have any English songs ? +Yes , we do . They are all in this book . +Great , thanks . +No problem . Just give us a few minutes more to pull them up , though . We don ’ t get that many English singers ! +Oh , I see . +Hi , I have a reservation under the name of Sandals . +Could I see your ID , please , sir ? +Of course ! Let me take it out of my wallet . +Thank you , sir . Now , do you have a credit card , sir ? +Yes , of course . Is American Express okay ? +I'm sorry , sir . Only VISA or MasterCard . +In that case , here's my VISA . +Thank you . Your room number is 507 , queen bed , nonsmoking . Is that agreeable to you , sir ? +Yes , I'm easy to please . +Very good . Here is your room key , sir . If you need anything at all , please dial 0 . +Can I help you , Miss ? +Do you have anything which can prevent wrinkles and freckles ? +What is your skin type ? +My skin is kind of oily . +This nutrition cream is for anti-wrinkling and whitening which is a newcomer brand . +How much is it ? +$ 60.The price is reasonable for its large quantity . What's more , there are some gifts attaching for you . +Sounds good . What are the gifts attaching ? +You can take one tonic or hand cream . +I will choose the tonic . +No problem . You can try this kind of gel which can prevent freckle , the effect will be better if you use this powder foundation applied with it . +That's the very thing I want . +Is there any meat ? +Yes , just tinned meat . +Is it chicken ? +No , it ’ s beef . +Is it ready to eat ? +Well , you ’ d better heat it before you eat it . +May I help you ? +Yes . I would like to cash my travelers ' check . Here you are . +Sure . How do you like your money ? +In tens and twenties , please . +No problem . Here you are . +Thanks a lot . +May I know the definite date of delivery ? +Let me check.Well , in October . +Is there any possibility for you to ensure prompt shipment ? +We assure you that shipment will be made no later than the first half of October . +Good morning , Sir . +Morning . +Is this where I catch the bus for the zoo ? +Yes . You can take No . 846 from here , but you have to get off at Nanchengmen stop and change to No . 106 . +That ’ s a little troublesome . +Actually , if you go to the bus stop in the next block , you can take No . 105 which will let you right off in front of the zoo gate . +Maybe that ’ s what I'll do . Thanks a lot . +You ’ re welcome . +We agree to give you a break on the price , all together a discount of 6 % . Good news is , I talked to my boss , he confirmed that if you take care of the shipping costs , we'll throw in insurance . +Great ! I'd love to get a little better discount than 6 % , but if your company provides the insurance , that will save us a few bucks ... +Now , all this is available to you , as far as you make payment within a 30 day grace period . That shouldn't be a problem , right ? +No ... We shouldn't have any problem with that . I know we talked about a possibility for 90 days , but we won't be needing that after your discounted price . +So , if all this is agreeable to you , I'll put it all down on paper and fax a contract to you this afternoon . If you can get a signed version of the contract we've agreed upon back to me by tomorrow morning , we can go ahead and make arrangements to ship the product on Tuesday . +Great ! +Have you been to the Queen Street West ? +No .

Thanks for seeing me on such short notice . When I woke up this morning I had a really sore throat and a really bad cough . I think I am coming down with the flu . +Ah I see , yes you do sound rather croaky . Well let ’ s have a look , shall we ? Could you please open your mouth and say ” ah ” . +Ahhhhhhhh +Good , yes , your tonsils are a little swollen and red . How are your ears , blocked at all ? +A little actually . My sinuses are a little blocked up as well-I really feel terrible . +Ok Chloe , can you please breathe in and out slowly for me while I listen to your chest ? You really are all bunged up , you don ’ t sound too good at all . Ok , I ’ m going to set you up with a bunch of antibiotics . You will need to take these orange pills twice a day and these blue pills every evening . You will also have to take this cough medicine three times a day after meals . Finally , I am giving you an inhaler to use every time you feel breathless . . . just to clear up your lungs ! +Whoa ! So many drugs . . . I hate swallowing pills . Am I able to go to work ? +Absolutely not ! You are highly contagious ! You don ’ t want to infect the rest of your co-workers do you ? I recommend staying in bed for at least three days and drinking plenty of fluids so you don ’ t get weak and dehydrated . You can catch up on all the latest TV shows and movies ! +Ok ! Would you mind writing me a doctor ’ s note for work , otherwise they may think I am faking it ! +Ha-ha , sure not a problem ! Here you are.Now off you go and away to bed . If you have any questions just give me a call ! Feel better soon and take care . +Thanks doc , bye ! +What schools have you attended ? +I finished Young Primary School in 1998 , and entered Xi ’ an Middle School that same September . I graduated from there in July of 2004 , and that September I entered Wuhan University , where I'm studying now . +How do you think the education you have received will contribute to your work in this company ? +I think I have a good understanding of fundamentals in the areas your company deals with , and I can go on from here to build up the specific skills and knowledge I need to do my job well . +Your graduation thesis was on Medical Application of Laser , right ? What were your conclusions ? +Yes . I did some work on that , and I found out some really interesting things about the conductivity of liquid helium . I was sure I had a great discovery until my teacher told me the same discovery already made twenty years ago . I think the most important thing , I learnt though , was the importance of keeping good records . +How much are you planning to buy ? +Well , it's not how much , but what I'm going to buy that matters . I'm going ski shopping ! +Cool ! Can I come ? +No . The front seat folds down all the way so there's just enough space for the skis ... +But not enough space for me ? +Not unless you lose about 100 pounds ... +Billy ... +Excuse me . May I have a bus map , please ? +You mean one for the city ? +Yes , within New York . +I'm afraid we don't have any . If I were you , I'd try one of the newspaper stands . +Thank you . +But you should be considerate to the kids , it ’ s their nature to play . +What I cannot put up with is that they may even give me a back talk . +Of course , it ’ s not polite of them , but sometimes you should put things the other way round and try to understand them . +Excuse me , Mr . Graham ? I have something I need to discuss with you . +I ’ m in a bit of a hurry , Louise . Can it wait ? +I would really appreciate it if we could talk for a few minutes now . It ’ s about the overtime you ’ Ve asked me to put in . +All right . Why don ’ t you have a seat ? What ’ s the problem ? +Watch out ! +Wow ! That car almost hit me . +Here is the final draft of our contract . I'm glad that we have reached an agreement on almost every term in our trade . +Yes , it seems to me we have come quite a long way . However , let me take a close look at the final draft . +Do you have some points to bring up ? +Well , everything we've discussed seems to be here . +Yes , including a description of the shirts you want to purchase this time , the total amount of your order , the price for each piece , mode of payment , packaging , shipping time , insurance and compensation , claim and arbitration , and rights and duties for both sides . Are all the terms here satisfactory ? +I'll need a few minutes to check over my notes again on every detail . What about the quality standard ? +It is said that the sample 25 is the standard for others . It's complete . So would you like to sign the contract right now ? +In order to extend our export business to your country , we wish to enter into direct business relations with you . +It's our pleasure . +Our hope is to establish mutual beneficial trading relations between us . +I can't stand the stupid guy any longer . It's unbelievable . +Oh , my dear lady , take it easy . You should forgive a green hand like him . +He does everything so mindlessly that he is going to drive me crazy . +I suggest you talk with him and teach him how to deal with the problems . +I've told him how to do that several times , but he's never listened to me . +Maybe you should communicate with him just like a friend , not a boss . +Oh , I always have difficulty in getting along with the staff . +Just take them for your good friends and have a talk with them as we do . Make sure you won't lose your temper ! +Oh , so bad . I'm afraid I'll change the image of myself . +No , it's unnecessary . Just respect the staff and their own opinions . +But sometimes they offer some useless proposals , it's awfully useless . +Oh , no one is perfect . +That's right . I should speak to them in a polite way . +We have the equal partnership in team . +Thanks very much and you're very eloquent . +Thanks for saying that . +Hello . What can I do for you today ? +I've got some documents here that go with the L / C our company opened 10 days ago . I think there is something wrong . +Really ? Have you checked everything carefully ? +Very carefully , that's when I found the problem . +Ah , I see . The goods description is totally different from what you are expecting , right ? +Yep , you've got it ! What should we do ? +Usually , if the problem is insignificant I advise the customer to go ahead ; it's normally a translation problem or something like that . But this does seem a little more serious . I suggest you get back on to them right now and ask them about it . Hopefully you can sort it out over the phone . +That's a great idea ; thanks for your help . +How much is this ? +You mean the large one or the small one ? +The large one . +They're on special this week . They've been reduced to five dollars . +Is this the only kind you have ? +No . We have some that are different in style but not in color . They're over there . Do you see the sign ? +Oh , yes . I think I'll look at those over there before I decide . +Very well . Just take your time . +you're finally here ! What took so long ? +I got stuck in traffic again . There was a terrible traffic jam near the Carrefour intersection . +it's always rather congested down there during rush hour . Maybe you should try to find a different route to get home . +I don't think it can be avoided , to be honest . +perhaps it would be better if you started taking public transport system to work . +I think it's something that I'll have to consider . The public transport system is pretty good . +it would be better for the environment , too . +I know . I feel bad about how much my car is adding to the pollution problem in this city . +taking the subway would be a lot less stressful than driving as well . +the only problem is that I'm going to really miss having the freedom that you have with a car . +well , when it's nicer outside , you can start biking to work . That will give you just as much freedom as your car usually provides . +that's true . I could certainly use the exercise ! +so , are you going to quit driving to work then ? +yes , it's not good for me or for the environment . +May I show you to your room ? +Ok . +Here , let me help you with your bags . +Thanks . +Good morning . Venus Real Estate Agency . +Good morning . I'm calling to ask if you have a vacant apartment . +Do you have any particular type of apartment in mind ? +I prefer a one-bedroom apartment . +Are you renting it alone or with company ? +I'll share it with one of my friends . What ’ s in a one-bedroom apartment ? +A one-bedroom apartment has one bedroom , a living room , a kitchen and a bathroom . +Is there any furniture ? +No , but a fridge and a stove . +It sounds wonderful .

How about the lotus root ? +Ok , and anything to drink ? Maybe some jasmine tea ? +Oh , yes that would be nice . +And for your main course ? I can recommend the sizzling beef . +Actually , I ’ m vegetarian so I ’ d like to have the bean curd . +Oh , that ’ s a good choice . Very healthy too . +Excuse me , you look lost . Can I help you ? +Oh , Thank you . I'm looking for the train station . +Right . Let me see . You go straight down here and turn right . +Right ? OK , got it . +Then take the next left then the next right . Are you with me ? +Next left then right ? OK . +Have you had any experience with sales work ? +Yes , I have . In fact , I had worked for a foreign trade company for nearly two years , where I established business ties with several firms . +What exactly did you do at that company ? +Visit customers , dispatch consignments and things like that . +Did you like your work ? +Yes , I did . +But when and why did you leave the company ? +I left it two months ago . I didn't think I could learn much there , and there were not many opportunities for self-development . +I see . Why did you choose our company ? +I've been informed that there are many opportunities to develop myself in your company . Besides , I grew up in a city in the Northeast . I have lots of acquaintances in the region , which might help to push sales . +Aunt Cindy , do you shop online often ? +Yes . It's very convenient and the price is even lower . +Last week , I tried to buy some books online , but I didn't know how to pay for them ? +You should open an account at the online bank first . After that , you can buy anything online . +Are there many things online ? +Sure . You can find everything all over the world . Let's check it out online ! +Oh , what's this ? Second-hand cellphone store ? +Yeah , this one is very famous with a good credit among on-line customers . It's like an open free market . If you want to change your cellphone for a new one , you can sell the old one here . +Really ? How to do that ? +Take some pictures of the thing you want to sell , then upload it onto line with a brief description about it and leave your connecting number . Then your stuff will be sold by auction . +That's amazing . I'd love to try it later . Oh , an on-line virtual supermarket ? +Let's click to check it out . +Oh , I got it . It simulates the real supermarket , which makes it feel so real . Mom will love it . She loves shopping in supermarkets . +No doubt about it . Shopping online will get more and more popular . It's a real revolution about people's consuming habits . +Are there any disadvantages about it ? +It takes some time for the stuff you buy online to arrive . But I think this problem will be solved soon . +Are you ready to move ? +Definitely . I Ve got the hell out of the company . Anything new ? +Yes , but there is a chance that might be suitable for you . +Really ? Are you willing to recommend me for the position ? +I can't say , but let me make a call and see if I can help . +I appreciate the effort , sir . +This apartment is wonderful . +I ’ m glad you like it . +How much would I have to pay for rent ? +The rent is $ 1050 each month . +That ’ s way too much money . +It isn ’ t too much . +How about if I pay $ 850 ? +I can ’ t take that . +I can ’ t go any higher than $ 850 . +I honestly don ’ t know what else to tell you . +You can ’ t go any lower than that ? +If you can ’ t afford $ 1050 , then we have no deal . +Good.Now what kind of job do you want ? Mr.Wilson ? +I don't mind really.Perhaps a job in a shop or a factory . +Well , I know Brown's Biscuit Factory are looking for a porter.They pay $ 200 a week . +That sounds all right . +Good.Now here's the address of the factory.The manager's name is ... +What do you think are the main causes of war today ? +I ’ d say the main reason is poverty . Countries and their people get frustrated because they have so little . If their neighbors have some resources , they try to steal them by military force . +It seems that a lot of wars nowadays are really civil wars . People from different ethnic groups in the same country sometimes fight for power in that country . +several of those civil wars have been going on for years and years . It seems they will never end . +How do you think they could be ended ? +I don ’ t think that there is any easy way . The united nations could send peacekeepers into the country . At least then the warring parties could be forced to negotiate . The thing is to find the real pro +So , if the cause is poverty , there should be a programme to make the country richer . If the problem is resources , share them . +It sounds easy when you say it like that . In reality , it ’ s harder to make peace between countries . +Yes . It is . One way to stop countries fighting is to cut off their financial support . Wars are very expensive . +The problem is that many poor people might suffer . +Hello , it's nice to meet you . +I'm glad we're meeting today . Thank you . +You're welcome . +I would like to talk to you about your daughter . +Is there a problem ? +No , your daughter is great . +That's great news . +Your daughter is a wonderful student . +She isn't messing up in class ? +Of course not . Your daughter is smart and very well behaved . +Well , I'm so glad to hear that she's doing well . +It is my pleasure to have her in my class . +Can you pass me the lighter ? +Here . Catch ! +Look ! Allen has the mike ! +I thought he only liked to listen ? +That was before he heard Stanley sing ! I guess he couldn't stand it anymore , so he decided to give it a try himself ! Allen has a really good voice ! He sounds like Enrique Iglesias ! +And he can move , too ! He dances like Ricky Martin ! +Do you have anything to declare ? +No . I have nothing . +Are these all your personal things ? +Yes , they are . +Please open the black case . +OK . +I think this suit displays your nice finger . +Thank you . Could you change it for a purple one ? +No problem . +Will it shrink when washed ? +Of course not , it is made of pure silk . +Hi , boss . You have a call . +I told you to hold my calls . I ’ m very busy at the moment . +I know . But she said she had an important thing to tell you . +Okay . Put her through . +Thanks . +I'm sorry to make you wait . What did you decide ? +Well , I wasn't planning on spending that much money today , so ... +Trust me , it's worth it .

It's so cute ! +May I borrow your typewriter ? +How long would you like to keep it ? +Until the end of the week . +Yes , that'd be all right . +So Vicky , how long have you held your present position ? +I ’ Ve been a secretary for two years , before that I was at university . +And how do you like working for IBM ? +It ’ s challenging , I feel I have learned a lot . +What ’ s strength do you bring to the job ? +I get along well with people , and I enjoy working with others . +That ’ s good . We always need team players here . +Hello . This is Hamilton ’ s Heating and cooling service . Can I help you ? +Yes . My home freezer is not working properly . +What ’ s the problem ? +It keeps running all the time , never stopping . And it makes a strange sound . All the ice cream inside it melted . +Maybe the compressor is going bad . +Can you send the technician to check it out ? +Sure . But there is a minimum charge of $ 60 for a service visit . If your freezer needs parts , there will be an additional charge . +Okay . I ’ ll pay the charges . +All right . let me check our technician ’ s schedules . I ’ ll call you back and let you know what time we can send a service technician to your house . What is your phone number ? +My number is 627-555-1234 . +Okay . I ’ ll call you right back . +Thank you . Good bye . +Bye . +Excuse me , do the buses stop here ? +Yes , they all stop at this corner . +I want to go to Broadway and 82nd Street . Can I take any bus that comes along ? +You can take any bus except the Number 9 . +How often do the buses run ? +They run about every five minutes . +Fine.How long does it take to get to 82nd Street ? +About fifteen minutes . It's not far.Are you a stranger in New York ? +Yes , I am . I arrived only three days ago from Japan . +How do you like New York city ? +I like it very much , but it's a little confusing to me . +You'll soon get accustomed to it . It's not difficult . Well , here's the bus.Fortunately , it's not full . +Thank you for the information . +Don't mention it . +I ’ Ve decided to grow my own garden ! +What ? You don ’ t know the first thing about gardening ! +On the contrary , I have been reading a lot of books about the subject . +Oh yeah ? Tell me then , smarty pants , how will you go about setting up your garden ? +Well , first I need to buy some things , such as fertilizer , seeds and tools . +What type of tools ? +You know , the basics . A rake , shovel , spade and a hoe . +Right . Well it seems like you have all your bases covered . What ’ s next ? +I ’ ll till the soil and then sow the seeds . I ’ ll then add some fertilizer and voila ! Gardening all done ! +Well , good luck with your garden , especially considering we are in the dry season and it won ’ t rain for the next three months ! +Have you seen Bill recently ? +Yes . He ’ s in hospital with a bad back . One morning , he just couldn ’ t get out of bed . His wife called an ambulance and they took him to hospital . He ’ s been there for a few days now . +Daisy ’ s in hospital too . She god food poisoning last week . She thinks she got it from some bad seafood . +You have to be very careful with seafood . It tastes lovely , but it often causes upset stomachs . Have you heard anything from Tom ? +He ’ s fine , but he had a fever last week . He probably just had a cold . +He might be allergic to pollen . My niece is allergic to pollen . It seems like she has a cold , but in fact it ’ s her allergy . +I see . My niece just flew back from Australia to visit . She ’ s got jetlag now . she ’ s just resting today , but we ’ ll probably go out somewhere tomorrow . +It ’ s nice that she ’ s back for a while . Thinking of all these ailments , I got a splinter the other day . It took a long time for me to get it out of my skin . Look . +Oh , your hand is still sore . You should put some ointment on it to stop the swelling . +That ’ s a good idea . You ’ Ve got a nasty bruise on your hand . +Yes , I banged it against to cooker yesterday . It really hurt , but it ’ s OK now . the bruise will disappear soon . +What do you feel your greatest achievement has been at your current job ? +I think my greatest accomplishment has been acquiring the Hans account . +That certainly is quite an accomplishment . +Yes , it took a year and a lot of initiative to get that account . +What's your sales record been like there ? +The last two years we have seen an increase in sales of about 30 % to 40 % each year , so I ’ m very pleased . And our sales projections are quite good for the next two years . +If things are going so well , why do you want to leave the firm now ? +Hmm ... I think I am ready for a new challenge . I've put a good team together at my present company , and I think If I want to take the next step in my career , it's time for me to move on . +Hi dude , you look upset , what's up ? +Haven't been sleeping well recently . +What's the problem ? +Every night my roommates watch the Korean soap operas till mid-night . I am not a big fan of Korean shows and I don't know how to tell them to stop without hurting their feelings . +Well , you can simply tell them you want to sleep , or make an agreement for a time when the room should quiet down . +Yeah , I know , but I find these sorts of things hard to say . They won't like it if I tell them to turn off the TV . Now I just hope the show will end soon . +I understand . I used to live in a dorm with four people . I was great in some aspects . We always went out and and had fun together . But on the other hand , when I wanted some quiet time , and people kept talking and laughing aloud , it was torturous . For me a room to myself , even a small one , is ideal . Though I don't mind sharing an apartment with somebody . +Yeah , I crave my own space . I just get so tiredhaving people around me all the time . We all need our private space . But I also think interpersonal skills very important . Living in a dorm means you have to learn to be considerate of others , otherwise nobody is going to have a good time . +Welcome to our factory . My name is Tiang Had and I'll show you around here.First we'll take a look at the workshop which produces food thermometers . Please , this way . +Has all the work done by men been replaced by automatic computers ? +Yes , it has . +Excuse me , what is this ? +This is a circuit board . +Are the batteries in it made by your people ? +No , they are from other factories . +What kind of battery is it ? +It is lithium which can be used for over three years . +After you've thought it over , get back to me and we can go ahead . +Miao Ping , if I do decide to go ahead , how will the interest if I exceed be counted ? +It is higher than the rate of interest for Current Deposits and a little lower than the rate for the 6 - month time deposits . +So , if I do decide to go ahead , how can my company open a Corporate Agreement Savings Plan with you ? +First of all , you need to sign a Corporate Agreement Savings Contract with us . This means we can go ahead and open an account of agreement savings based on your settlement account . +OK , let's get the ball rolling on this . +I'm really sorry , but I seem to have misplaced your towel . +Oh , that's all right . +I'm very sorry . Can I get you another one ? +No . Forget about it . It's not important . +You're here today to argue your ticket ? +I am . +Plead your case . +The police officer that pulled me over said I was speeding . +Were you speeding when you got pulled over ? +I was not speeding . +How fast were you going ? +In a 40 mph zone , I was only going about 35 . +Well , seeing as the officer that pulled you over isn't here , I'll let you go . +Do I still need to pay the fine ? +No , you don't . +I appreciate your understanding . +Okay Rebecca , well I think you ’ Ve given me a clear impression of your positive qualities , but let ’ s talk a little bit about your weaknesses . +Okay , well it ’ s always more difficult to describe them isn ’ t it ? +Definitely , but if you had to pinpoint one weakness what would it be ? +Well as I mentioned before , I do tend to get frustrated if I don ’ t see progress in my work or career . I suppose I ’ m quite a restless character . My father always taught me to be a high achiever so . +So would you say if things don ’ t go your way at work it could easily get you down ? +Well , in a way yes . But I must say that even if I ’ m not completely happy in my work I always give 110 % I would never shirk my responsibilities . I suppose sometimes I expect too much too soon . +Well , you know journalism is a highly competitive world , so you do need to keep pushing yourself it ’ s true . Okay , well let ’ s move on to talk about the job position here , shall we ? +Yes , please . +How many people are in your family ? +As you know , china has a single-child policy . Therefore , there ’ s just my husband , my daughter and I . What about in your family ? +I have one daughter and one son . Then there ’ s my husband and I . What about your parents ? Do they live with your family ? +Not anymore . They live with my brother now . and yours ? +My parents live by themselves now . When they get older , they ’ ll probably go to a retirement home . Do you just have one brother ? +No , I have two older brothers and one younger sister . What about you ? +I also grew up in a big family . I have one older brother and three younger sisters . +How long have you been married ? +About seven years now . and you ? +I ‘ Ve been married for about five years . What do you think about divorce ? +It ’ s becoming more and more common . However , I don ’ t ever want to get divorced myself ! What about you ? +If my husband cheated on me or treated me badly , I would get a divorce . +If that happens , maybe you could marry my brother and we could become in-laws ! +( ha ha ) I ’ ll keep that in mind , but don ’ t tell my husband . +Of course not ! +I definitely want to meet with you , Mr . Parker . I just need to sort out my schedule . +Well , I know you ’ re pretty booked up these days . But , we ’ Ve got to work fast on this . +I realize that . We don ’ t have any time to waste . I can put you down for 9:20 . Could you make that , Mr . Parker ? +Let me see . That ’ s no problem . I ’ ll see you then . +What's the matter , sir ? You look pale . +I feel dizzy and weak . And I'm having this pain in my ear . I think I am sick . +Are you often traveling by plane ? +No , this is the second time . +That's right . It's normal if you don't often take the plane . Just relax a little bit . +Why this happens to me when I am on the plane ? I feel bad . +Don't worry , sir . It's just because of the lower pressure . +What should I do about it ? +You may feel much better if you chew some gum or peanuts . +OK , thanks . Does it work really ? I'll give a try . +Are you feeling better now ? Do you need some pills ? +Much better . Thank you . I just feel tired but I can't fall asleep . +So , you'd better wear this eyeshade and you will sleep well . +I am not used to wearing that . Thanks . +If you try to adapt yourself to your destination's local time , you'll feel more comfortable . So please try to sleep , and have meals according to Los Angeles's time . +Thank you so much . +You are welcome . Please press the button when you need any help . +Did you hear that they are going to start an exercise class after work ? +Oh really ? When is it going to start ? +Next month . I think . Are you going to sign up ? +Well , I ’ d like to , but I ’ m going to have to look at my schedule . +This visit is over for me . Here's your room key . +Thank you for that , and in return , here's your receipt . +And thanks to you . +I hope you'll visit us again , sir . +I'd be willing to try this hotel again , if you can promise me no more cockroaches . +I guarantee you that our little “ friends ” won't be back . I hope your trip home is pleasant . +Hi I came in on flight 513 . Everyone else took their luggage off the conveyor belt , but mine didn ’ t seem to be there . +Let me check the computer . Uh-oh , Looks like your luggage is on its way to Paris . +You ’ re kidding . What am I going to do ? +Well , we can give you this lovely shaving kit and call you the minute your luggage arrives here . Just leave us a contact number . +You can reach me at 13661306917 . +Thank you . I am terribly sorry about this . It very rarely happens . We do have a sophisticated tracking system , so I know we will find it soon . But we apologize for the inconvenience . +That ’ s ok . There wasn ’ t anything important in there anyway . The shaving kit more than makes up for my lost luggage . +Wow ! I have been working here for 15 years and you ’ re the first person to accept a lost luggage situation cheerfully . +I ’ Ve had a lot worse problems than this traveling so it ’ s really no big deal . +Come again ? What are you talking about ? Aren't we on the same team now ? +Guess again , Dave . I have no intention of leaving invoking . Never did . +What do you mean ? You didn't ? Oh , no ... No ! +That's right , Dave . I tricked you into giving a confession . And I've recorded every word of it . +But how ? So you knew all along I was with WebTracker ? How did you know ? +I saw your green post-it notes . Nobody else has them . +Have you find any job that you are interested in ? +I ’ Ve only find a few openings in my field . +There ’ s not a very high demand for that kind of job , isn ’ t there ? +Unfortunately not . If I can ’ t find anything in that field , then I could also work in the marketing field . +That ’ s a good idea . You have plenty of experience in marketing , don ’ t you ? +Yes . +By the way , I saw a job in the paper this morning that you might be interested in . +Really ? What is it ? +It is a job at an advertisement company . +Do you think they'd hire me ? +Anyway , it is worth trying . +Hi , Bob , what time will you be home tonight ? +I'll be back late tonight . +Why ? What's the problem ? +I have a meeting with my General Manager . +Thank you for your application , Mr . Sweeney . Mr . Jacobs would like to set up an interview for early next week . Do you have time ? +Yes , ma ’ am . I could come in any day next week , except for Friday morning . +Fine . Let me take a look at his schedule . He ’ s free on Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 . Could you come in then ? +Yes . That would be fine . +Hello , I would like to make an appointment to look at houses . +Sure , would you prefer looking in the morning or afternoon ? +I would prefer mornings . +Can you go during the week , or can you only go during the weekend ? +Going to look at houses during the week is best for me . +Where would you like me to pick you up ? +I will meet you at the real estate office . +I am thinking of looking at three houses , and it will take about two hours . +That sounds good to me . +Once I contact the owners and confirm the times , I will e-mail you a schedule . +Something ’ s burning ? +Oh , my bread ! +Mm , I love burnt bread . +Curse this oven ! Curse it ! +But I prefer burnt bread . +Curse the worst oven in the world . +Wonderful ! A perfect piece of bread ! +There are thirteen of them . Oh , have another . Have a third , if you like , have them all . +I am looking for a blouse . Can you show me the way , please ? +OK , what style do you want ? +I have no idea . Could you recommend me one ? +What about this one ? It fits you . +Well , the style is quite good , but I think it's too showy . I would like to try on the lighter one . +Is there a train leaving for Philadelphia ? +Yeah . There's an express that leaves in twenty minutes . +May I buy a ticket here at the station ? +Sure . +Where ? +Go to window number eleven . +Thanks . +I'd like a refund on this sweater . +May I have a look at your receipt ? +Oh , here you are . +All right . Wait a minute . +What kind of job are you interested in ? +I want a job in which I can use English , I would also like to be able to have some responsibility in my work . +I really appreciate that I would expect my secretary to be able to work independently and take over some of my ordinary responsibilities , such as answering routine correspondence , taking phone calls for me and sometimes assisting me with personal affairs . +Yes , I see . In my previous job , I did typing and filing everyday . +Have you had any experience as a guide ? +Well , not exactly , but I have shown some of my foreign friends around Beijing . +Once in a while we have visitors from abroad and I would like to be able to ask my secretary to take them shopping and sightseeing . +I think I would like that . +Hi , Bill . It's Marsha Black at MPPD Ltd . How are you ? +Hello , Marsha , I haven't heard from you in a long time . I'm great , and you ? +Not too bad at all . Do you have a minute ? +Sure , what can I do for you ? +We're getting ready to place our Christmas orders and we need to know about how much it's going to run this year.You know , so we can have the funds put aside . +I'm really busy right now . I got a lot on my plate.So this isn't an actual bid you want but just a ballpark figure ? +Right , a ballpark figure is fine , and slant it a little high if you have to . +Well , I can give you those figures now over the phone , is that okay ? Or do you need them in writing ? +It's going to be shown to the Board so I need it in writing.Make all the prices subject to confirmation so you can't be held to them . How soon can I have it ? +Is this another rush , dear ? Did you forget and wait until the last minute again ? +Yeah , I'm afraid so . I really need your help here . +Well , just because it's you . Tomorrow , say around noon . +I played the video game at Mike's home yesterday . +What's it like ? +It's really fantastic . The hero , Super Warrior , is so brave that he can defeat any enemies he meets . He runs through tunnels , swims under water , and climbs over bridges . It's really exciting ! +And then ? +I borrowed it from Mike yesterday . Why not have a try ? +That's neat ! +Oh , this is Monica +OK . Commodity inspection is really an important part of our trade contract . +Yes . Let's first define the inspection right . +Following the rules of world business , the exporters have the right to inspect the goods before the delivery , while the importers have the right to re-inspect the goods after their arrival . +Would you tell me how the inspection is conducted before shipment and by which agency ? +Inspection is to be done by the China Commodity Inspection and Testing Bureau . Usually inspection is conducted within five days before each shipment . +And can you tell me about the re-inspection ? +Yes . The re-inspection should be made within seven days upon the arrival , and if any discrepancy is found , the claim must be raised within one month . +I see . How do they make testing and analysis of this item ? +They always use the standard and method laid down in the contract . +What if the results from the two inspections do not coincide with each other ? +A seminar of technical specialists including the surveyors from both sides will be held to clarify which result is correct . +Do you often buy magazines ? +I buy a computer magazine every month . It keeps me up-to date with all the latest developments . +Why don ’ t you find the information on the internet instead ? +Sometimes it takes too long to find the exact information you are looking for . Besides , I like to read a magazine in a coffee bar sometimes . +Do you have an online edition of that magazine ? +Yes , they do . But you can only access all the articles if you have a subscription . +Do you have a subscription ? +Yes , I do . The magazine arrives by post at the beginning of each month . Do you every buy magazines ? +I only buy them if they look particularly interesting . I don ’ t buy any regularly . +Can I help you ? +How much is this pen ? +Ten Yuan . +And how much is this pencil ? +One Yuan . +Here's fifteen Yuan . +And here's your change . Please check if it is correct . +OK , that's right . +Welcome to come again . +OK . +Let ’ s play a little game . I ’ ll describe someone and you try to guess who it is . +Ok . I ’ m really bored at the moment . +Ok . This man is tall and slim . He ’ s got blue eyes and curly brown hair . +Does he have a moustache or a beard ? +Good question . Yes , he has a moustache , but no beard . +Sounds like Mike , is it ? +Yes , it is . You describe someone we both know . +Right . She ’ s not very tall and she ’ s quite plump . She ’ s got blonder hair , but I don ’ t know what color her eyes are . +Is she attractive ? I don ’ t think I know anyone like that . +Well , I don't find her attractive , but I'm sure you will disagree . +I like slim girls , so I doubt I would find a plump girl attractive . You ’ ll have to give me some more information . +She ’ s got tiny feet and wears really unfashionable shoes . In fact , she wears unfashionable clothes too . +This doesn ’ t sound like anyone I know . I give up . Teel me who she is . +She ’ s your mother ! +How embarrassing ! I don ’ t even recognize a description of my own mother ! How important do you think appearance is ? +I think that unfortunately it ’ s more important than a person ’ s character . Advertising and stuff tells us that we have to be attractive . I think it ’ s wrong , but that ’ s the way the world is now . +I ’ m afraid you ’ re right . I chose my girlfriend because she has a wonderful personality . +Well , you certainly didn ’ t choose her because of her looks ! Hey , I was joking ! Don ’ t hit me ! +Mark , you are not telling me the truth . Now why ? +Promise you are not going to be angry ? +Yes , all right . So why ? Go on then . Say it . Oh , really , Mark . I promise I'm not going to be angry . Now why were you late ? +I forgot . +You forgot ? You ... +Ah , ah , you promised , and remember ? +Excuse me , I got a parcel arrival notice yesterday . +Would you show me your notice ? +Here you are . +Please endorse it first . Do you have identification ? +Yes , here is my ID card . +I put in two quarters for a coke , but nothing came out of the machine . +Really ? Let me check it . +I'm sure it's broken . +No , ma'am . I ’ m afraid you put in only one quarter and one dime . +What can I help you with today ? +I would like to make a deposit . +Will that be cash or check ? +I ’ m depositing a check . +Could you sign the back of the check , please ? +All right . Here you go . +Would you like any cash back ? +That would be great . +How much would you like ? +I would like $ 150 . +Here is your $ 150 . +Thanks for everything . +Tu Mao , I'm hungry , let's get something to eat . +Me too . Is there a place nearby that we can get something to eat ? +There's a Kentucky's not far ahead and there's a McDonald's in down street . +Kentucky's ? Is that a chain restaurant ? +Don't you know about Kentucky's ? +I've heard about it , but never had one . +They sell pieces of fried chicken , you've got to try one this time . +OK . Let's go . +I really hope to reach an agreement with you today that is suitable and beneficial for us both . I've thought through a lot of these details , and I hope we can have a chance to discuss them and resolve any differences this afternoon . +Let's get start . What kinds of things do you have in mind ? If you let us know the requirements you have from the very beginning , we can work through each one until we can come to an agreement . +Firstly , we'd like to discuss a discounted price . If you can give us a discount of 7 % on the high volumes orders , we can pay in 60 days . +Huh ... I think 7 % is little high that might be hard to do . How about this ? We'll give you a discount of 4 % , but you can have 90 days credits . +Well , that might be acceptable , if you handle the insurance fees . +No , you have to take care of the insurance . But we are willing to pay the half transport . Can you accept that ? +We cover the insurance and half the transport fee , and only have a discount of 4 % . +But you'll have 90 days to pay your bill and I'll tell you what ... I'll also throw in the discount of 10 % on your up front deposit . +Done ... +Doctor Ruth's office , may I help you ? +Yes , I'd like to make an appointment to see the doctor . My name is Randy Horn . +Let's see , Mr . Horn ... The doctor's schedule is full today . Would tomorrow be all right ? +Yeah , I guess I can survive until tomorrow . +Would you prefer to come in in the morning or the afternoon ? +In the morning , if possible . +The doctor has an opening at 10:30 tomorrow . I'll put you down for then . +That would be fine . +Okay , Mr . Horn , see you tomorrow at 10:30 . +The new year is coming . Is the final examination approaching . +Oh , yeah . We will have winter holiday . +How are you getting along with your studies ? +Don ’ t worry , mum . I will study hard tomorrow . +But your were playing video games all afternoon . You are skating on thin ice . +Hey daddy ! You look great today . I like your tie ! By the way , I was wondering can I ... +NO ! +I haven't even told you what it is yet ! +Okay , okay , what do you want ? +Do you think I could borrow the car ? I ’ m going to a concert tonight . +Um .. I don ’ t think so . I need the car tonight to pick up your mother . +Egg ! I told you about it last week ! Smelly Toes is playing , and Eric asked if I would go with him ! +Who's this Eric guy ? +Duh ! He's like the hottest and most popular guy at school ! Come on , dad ! Please ! +No can do ... sorry . +Fine then ! Would you mind giving me 100 bucks ? +No way ! +That ’ s so unfair ! +What's wrong with you ? +I have had a low fever these days . +Don't worry . I'll write you a prescription for a new medicine that works wonders . +Thank you , doctor . +When it comes to select a fund , you will always read Past performance is not an indication of future results , can you believe that ? +Maybe it is right since everything is possible . You know the market changes quickly these days . But I still have doubted those funds with bad stock performance . For me , his stock record is the very important criteria to decide which to buy . I really want to decrease the risk reach the minimum and achieve the maximum returns . +If you refuse to take risk , you can ’ t have better returns . +I will think about it . +Mr . Zhang , are you still there ? +Yes . +Can she call you back ? She is about to start a meeting . +That will be fine . +Hi , Alan . I feel very nervous because I am going to have a job interview next Monday . Could you please give me some suggestions ? +Sure . Firstly , it is very important for you to be punctual . Interviewers usually don ’ t think much of a candidate who comes 5 or 10 minutes late only to explain that he could not find the place or he was stuck in traffic . +Yeah , that is very important . +Secondly , you need to create a good image in a limited time . +I will try my best to make a good impression , but it is always easier said that done . +I think you should make some preparations . For example , you should take care to appear well-groomed and modestly dressed . What ’ s more , try to avoid a too causal style . +Can I wear T-shirt and jeans for the job interview ? +You ’ d better not . Informal clothes like sports shirts , tom jeans or dirty sneakers convey the impression that you are not serious about the job , or that you may be casual about your work as you are about your clothes . +I've got it . I think I will wear a white shirt with a tie . Thank you for your suggestions . +OK , Mr . Wang . Thank you very much for coming to the airport to see us off . Your great country and your hospitality have left a very deep impression on all of us and your working attitude and your way of doing business have changed my opinions about Chinese people . +Really ? I'm glad to hear that . +That's true . And this trip has been a very productive one for us . +Thank you again for your visit . We are looking forward to your reply . +Believe me , Mr . Wang . I'll do my best to promote the transaction . +We are happy that we have established business relations . I really hope that we'll have more business to do and more opportunities to meet each other . +It ’ s very kind of you to say so . +You are very nice and helpful . Hope to see you again . +I think we will have opportunities to meet each other in the future . +OK , I think it's time for you to check in . If you run into any difficulty , we'll be here to assist you immediately . +Fine . Thank you very much . Bye-bye . +Goodbye . +Did you enjoy your meal ? +Yes , we really enjoyed it . +May I interest you in some dessert ? +Yes , that sounds great . +Well , we have chocolate mousse cake , homemade fresh strawberry shortcake , and a spicy rum apple crisp for our specials . +The apple crisp sounds great . +Since there are four of you , would you like to split a second dessert ? +Good suggestion . Could you please bring us a chocolate mousse cake and four dessert forks , please ? +Would you like coffee or tea with your dessert ? +Let's have four coffees , please . +OK . I will be right back with your desserts and drinks . +Thank you ! We have really enjoyed our meal here . +I come home for lunch . +How long have you got ? +Only 1 hour . +Okay , I'll make you some food . +Hi , I'd like two tickets to Providence , please . +Sure , what time will you like to depart ? +What time does the next train leave ? +Actually , one just left ten minutes ago .

We will refund the cost of the laundry and the new sweater . +I hope so . +Would you please fill out the form ? +But it's the White House . The president and his family live there.They won't let us see most of it . Probably we can only see a couple of rooms . +No , that's not true.The White House is very big . And there are a lot of historical exhibits there.The tour will take us through many different rooms . I read about it in the guide . +Hmm . If that's true , then the security there must be very good.Because it's strange to think they will let people walk around in the White House . +I'm sure the security is very tight.Probably they will make us walk through metal detectors like at the airport . +So I can't take my gun then . +Don't always joke like that ! You don't have a gun . +Yes , it's true I don't . +You shouldn't say things like that . You could get arrested ! +What ? Do you think someone will arrest me for making a joke ? Someone will arrest me here at the breakfast table ? +No . But if you say something like that in the White House , they may take it seriously . Sometimes I think you joke too much . +I'll be careful . Don't worry . I don't want to get arrested by the FBI.But how long does the White House tour last ? +I'm not sure . I think it lasts about one hour . +Alright . We should take a taxi over there right after breakfast . +First I want to look in the travel guide.Maybe they don't have tours in the morning . +That's a good idea .

Can you find a good price there ? +Wow , you really live in the Stone Age , Mom . +Well , you don't have to be mean . How do I do it ? +Go to www.yahoo.com and click on Travel and tickets . There are about a billion sites to look at . +Ok , thanks . I'll let you know what I find . +All right . +I ’ ll look for a ticket for you , too . Thanks ! +You two are so health-conscious ! +Well , we try ! Here , I just made some carrot juice . Would you like a glass ? +Why not ! Before you know it , I'll be heading off to the mountains to stand on my head ! +You don't have to go to the mountains ! I stand on my head during my yoga routine every morning ! +Thanks for the carrot juice , Mrs . Schmidt . I've got to run to class ! +Have a good day at school ! See you tonight ! +I'd like to rent a car for several days . +What kind of car do you want ? +Well , what kinds do you have ? +Mazda . Honda and Nissan . +Honda is OK . +Could I have a word with you , Madam ? +Is that you , Janice ? Just speaking . +I have to tell you that I can't be in today and tomorrow . +So sorry to hear that . What's wrong with you ? +I feel sick and coughed a lot at night . +Is that serious ? You ought to see a doctor . +Yes , I did this in the morning . And my doctor wanted me to have a rest these two days . +That's good . Do you suppose you will be back at company the day after tomorrow ? +I hope so .

When you become new driver , you are better drive as carefully as possible ! +Sure , I see safety is most important thing ! Accident is awful !

Do you know how much the ticket is ? +It depends on which train do you take . +Is it far from here to Suzhou ? +Yes , it stops more than ten times on the way to Suzhou . +How long will it take to get there ? +About fifteen hours . +Hi , Alex . Would you come with me to supply ? I ’ Ve got to pick up a load of stuff and I ’ m afraid I can ’ t carry it all . +Sure , Stacy . Let me just grab my coat . +Thanks . I appreciate the hand . I ’ d have to make two or three trips on my own . +Don ’ mention it . I ’ m glad to help . +Can you please give me a hand ? I can ’ t carry the heavy box . +I ’ m afraid not . Don ’ t you see I ’ m looking up a word in the dictionary ? +I think you are flicking through it . +Well , wait a minute . +I want to settle my account . +Wait for a moment . Mr . Bush.this is your bill , please sign your name here +Well , I think something must be wrong with my bill . I didn't have any laundry . +I am sorry , we will connect with the room service.Please Warta moment . +Ok , so where do you think we can save more money ? +Well , we could eat in more . That 300 dollars for entertainment is mostly going to restaurants . +Yeah . That ’ s a good idea and you like to cook . What about the books ? +No , I need my books . +Come on . If we save more money , we can retire earlier and you ’ ll actually have time to read all those books you buy . +Well , what about the 50 you spent on a shirt ? You could have gotten something for less . +Ok . Let's compromise . If you agree to only spend 75 on books , I'll agree to only spend 40 for my next shirt . +All right . That sounds fair . +I often see some ' new age people ' show off their various skills to handle a skateboard , which makes me wonder in awe . +Annie , you also know the ' new age people ' . I think these people must have undergone much sufferings of flesh in order to ride skillfully . +Although it is easy to ride , the condition of the road surface should also be paid attention to , such as places being put together and full of gullies . If the condition permits , it is better to be equipped with helmet , eye shades , ankle shield , knee shield and elbow shield . +The skateboard does not pollute the air , either . It can be used as a tool to ride instead of walk . +Can I give you a lift home , Mrs . Word ? +That is very kind of you , Mr Lee . Thank you . +Could you hold my umbrella when I get my keys out , please ? +Of course . It ’ s a terrible night , isn ’ t it ? +Dreadful . There , the door is open now . +Thank you . +Um , which of them is the better typist ? +Well , Mary types faster than Jones . But I think Jones types more carefully . +Is there any difference in their short hand ? +Jones can certainly take down letter more quickly , but Mary ’ s short hand is the best in her class . +How about languages ? +Both of them speak excellent French . But I think Mary speaks German more fluently than Jones does . +Um . That doesn ’ t really matter . Because we have more French visitors than German . +Hi , Kerry . Did your husband make cooking for you ? +Oh , please do not mention it any more . Last night he did it for the first time . +Really ? Was it delicious ? +Forget it ! It was a bitter pill for me to swallow . +It was the first time . You should not be so particular . +Ha-ha . Last night , I only told him practice makes perfect . +It ’ s true . Nowadays , men are spending more and more time in the kitchen . +Yeah , it will become a wider trend . +Excuse me , I ’ m sorry to trouble you . My name is Susan Ransom , and I have placed several orders with you company . +Yes , Mr . Ransom ? This is Karl Miller . How may I help you ? +Well , I wonder if you could track an order I placed with you last month . It hasn ’ t arrived yet . +Certainly , Ms . Ransom . Do you have an order number ? +This room is unacceptable . I want a new one , and I want a refund for tonight . +Would you please tell me the exact problem , sir ? +I'm being attacked by hordes of cockroaches ! +Oh , my gosh , they're back ? Another room at once , sir , plus a full refund , of course . +Thank you very much . This has been a most unsettling experience . +Sir , our guests are our reason for being . +Hello , Steven , what are you doing now ? +I am preparing a birthday party for Julia . +Can I be of any help to you ? +Of course , could you help to blow up some balloons ? +I hate balloons . +Well , would you please clean the livingroom ? You know I'm too busy . +No problem . +Hey , Jim , it ’ s time to wake up and get out of bed . +Do I have to get up now ? +You ’ d better get up , or you ’ ll be late . +What are you talking about ? My alarm hasn ’ t even gone off yet . +Yes , it did . It went off 30 minutes ago . You slept right through it . You ’ re like a dead person while you sleep . +I must have slept right through it . +Rise and shine ! Sleepyhead ! +Just let me sleep 5 more minutes . +The early bird gets the worm . +I know . I know . But I don ’ t want any worms . +Ha ! Ha ! If you don ’ t make an effort now , later on it ’ ll be a lot tougher for you . +How did I do ? +Do you really want to know ? +Yes , I do . +You did pretty bad . +Exactly how bad ? +You didn't pass the test . +I don't understand how I could've failed it . +There are a few reasons why you failed . +What are the reasons ? +The main reason is the fact that you're a horrible driver . +Can I take the test again ? +You'll be able to take the test again in a couple weeks . +That is what we are pursuing . +We look forward to a further extension of our pleasant business relations . +A meeting will be arranged to negotiate the relevant stuff . +That will be good . +Are you going to vote this Tuesday ? +Yes , I am , and I am so excited . +Have you figured out who you ’ re going to vote for ? +I love my candidate . +Why is that ? +My candidate is probably the most intelligent . +Is that right ? +I also agree with all his policies . +That ’ s great ! +I know he ’ s going to be the next President . +Hopefully , he will be . +I can ’ t wait to vote . +Have you met the new manager in customer service ? +No , I haven ’ t gotten over there in a few weeks . How is he ? +She . She seems to be doing a pretty good job . Of course , anything would be better than that last guy ! +You said it ! I can't believe he lasted as long as he did . +Excuse me . I lost my way . Could you tell me where the scholar cinema is , please ? +The Scholar ? Let me see . Oh ... yes , Of course I know . It ’ s in the Lincoln Square . +Is that near here ? +Oh , yes . It ’ s just a few minutes block . Turn left at the traffic light , and you ’ ll see it . +Thank you very much . +Would you like me to type it for you ? +Yes , please . That would be a great help . Are you sure you don ’ t mind ? +Not at all . I ’ ll be glad to do it . +Thank you very much . +Shall I right out again first ? +No , there ’ s no need . +Can I print it ? +No , don ’ t bother . It ’ s all right as it is . +Is the new computerised stock system in operation ? +Not quite . The software engineers are testing it just now . +Have all the operators been trained on it ? +Yes , most of them . We trained on a dummy system last month . A couple of people were away so we've organised two more training sessions on the live system for the whole team this week . +What's the fare , please ? +Twenty dollars and sixty cents . +What ? You're overcharging me ! +No way . Look . That's what the meter says . +Then something must be wrong with the meter . +Mom , I didn ’ t have breast . I could eat a horse . +Dear , this bakery has introduced some new types of cake recently and you can eat as much as you can . +You mustn't touch the wet paint , Bill . +I'm sorry .

Today , they're only $ 1 each . +Maybe I won't like the taste . +It's hard to describe . They're sweet , but also sort of acidity . +How do I tell the difference between a ripe one and an unripe one ? +They're similar to an avocado . When the outside feels soft , they're ripe . +Where do most of them come from ? +These are from Mexico . +Car trouble center . How may I help you ? +My car won ’ t start ! Stupid old car ! +Hold on , before you kick your car let ’ s go through some possible problems . +Fine . +OK , first of all , can you turn the key in the ignition ? +Yeah ! I am here with my friend and he thinks it may be the spark plug or the starter motor . +Those are possible problems , but tell me , when you turn the key , do you hear the starter motor crank ? +Yeah , it sounds like it usually does when I start the car , but nothing else happens . The engine won ’ t start . Should I maybe press the accelerator ? +No . If you step on the accelerator pedal you can flood the carburetor and your car will never start . +So what do you think it is ? +I know this may seem like a silly question , but does your car have gasoline ? +Umm . yeah ! Right ! I got the car started ! Thanks for your help ! I told you to fill the tank ! +What are you doing this weekend ? +My brother-in-law is having a small get-together at his house and he invited me . +Is it a family thing or just friends ? +A bit of both .

I'm sorry . But I don't think tai chi is to be practiced like that . +I'm just a beginner . Did my poses make me the butt of jokes ? +Well , they just look a bit funny . but far from making a laughing stock out of you . +So , is there anything wrong with my strokes ? +To begin with , you should keep your neck erect upward at any time . +Like this ? +Good ! And then , the entire body . Never incline your body forward or backward . Take care to regulate the point of balance . Place it at your waist . +Did I do it right ? +No ! You should avoid sticking out your belly . Keep your hip steady . Don't swing . +What should I do with my legs then ? +Oh , yes , things are quite different with the limbs . Keep your knees bent a little . Right , they should be rich in elasticity . Move slowly when you shift your centre of gravity from one leg to another . +Fantastic ! I guess the same is true with the arms , right ? +Exactly ! Move your arms in a relaxed manner . Well . don't stretch yourfingers stiffly . Just keep them in a natural shape . +These are new arrivals . +Let me have a look . +Try them if you like . +I like the fabric , but I don ’ t like the style . +What about that one over there ? +They are too bright . +Hi , John , this is Mary , your tenant up in Lincoln Park . +Oh , hi , Mary , what can I do for you ? +I was wondering when trash collection day was . +It ’ s on Tuesdays and Fridays . +Great . +You could save a couple of dollars by taking it to the dump yourself , though . +Oh , o . k . Where ’ s that ? +It ’ s at the corner of that street . +Thanks . Who do I call for trash collection ? +Just leave the stuff by the curb . The company ’ ll send a guy out next month to give you the bill . +All right . Thanks a lot . +No problem . +We need to figure out how much money we've spent and what we've spent it on . +Why ? +Well , I think we should save more . If we save more money we can retire earlier and enjoy our life better . +Really , well , OK . Get the receipts out . +Let's see . We spent $ 700 for our home loan payment , $ 300 0n groceries , $ 75 0n utilities , $ 250 n gasoline , $ 100 on books , and $ 400 0n entertainment last month . +That's $ 1 825 . +We put $ 500 into the savings account , and $ 750 into our stock account . +$ 3 075 . Our paychecks is $ 3 300 , combined . That means we don't have any receipts for $ 225 . +Right . Stop thinking about it . Where do you think we can save more money ? +Well , we could eat in more often . That $ 400 for entertainment is mostly going to restaurants . +Yeah , that's a good idea , and you like to cook . +All right . +Flip it to channel 9 , will you , Janet ? There's a big basketball game on in a couple of minutes . +Sorry , turkey . I have already got dibs on the TV for tonight , remember ? And I'm watching ' Disco Fever ' on channel 6 . +Oh , yeah , smarty-pants ? Over my dead body . Now , don't be such a brat and ... +Hey , what's wrong with the TV ? +I don't know ! The picture went blank all of a sudden . It's probably the picture tube . +Looks like the TV wins that argument . +Yeah . Oh well , how about a game of cards instead ? +Sure , why not ? +My name is Mary , and I will be your server this evening . +Hi Mary . We are really looking forward to a great meal here . +Can I interest you in an appetizer to start out ? +I would love an appetizer . Are they listed in the menu ? +We have our daily appetizers listed on the board over there on the wall . +I am thinking about the popcorn shrimp . How is that ? +That would be a great choice ! +I'll trust your taste and take one order of that . +We have a special where you can order a second appetizer for half price . +In that case , we'll take an order of onion rings with our first choice . +This is awful ! It's like drinking saltwater ! It's like drowning in the ocean ! +Don't be so dramatic . You're such a baby . Now sit down and finish your soup . +OK , OK . +And when we get back from the doctor's , you'll gargle again . +Maybe I'll run away first . +Well , the only free food on the streets is from a soup kitchen , and their soup isn't as tasty as mine ! +What do you do in your spare times ? +I have many hobbies . I like most all kind of sports , and I also like to listen to classic musics . +What sports do you like best ? +Football.It ' s a very exciting game , because it keeps you alert , and I also enjoying the team spirit of football . +Do you like reading books ? +Yes . I enjoying reading biographs , especially those of well-known statesmen , militarists , scientist and artists , I can learn a lot from their life histories . +Who are you favourite authors ? +I like the novels of Dickens very much , I have reading almost all of them in Chinese translation , I wish i can reading them in the original . +George , I heard our eighth generation computer is appreciated by the guests . They intend to sign contract with our company . You have done a good job . We are so proud of you . +Thank you . I never imagine that would happen . +Hah , as the sales department director , you are the best . +Thank you . But I am not sure whether the manager is settling for it . She asked me to go to her office . +Why not ? You've done so well for the company . She should give you a prize . +I feel nervous when I face Nova . +Come on ! What are you nervous about ? +You know the sales figure shows that the prediction has not achieved . +But the sales number is close to the predicted amount . +I'm still nervous . I don't know what to say to the manager . I always feel ill in that kind of place . +Take it easy . Be confident of yourself . I'm sure you can do it . +Were you engaged in any activities at college ? +No , I had no interest in the activities in college and I spent most of my spare time reading in the library . +What kind of activity would make you get involved ? +None , I guess . My only passion is on reading . +By the way , where's Jim ? +He is out . +I can't find my keys . +Where did you See then last ? +There was a serious disturbance in the street this morning . +Is it kept in hand now ? +Yes . The police have come . +Did you put this morning's faxes on my desk ? I'm waiting for some urgent faxes from headquarters , I'm pretty sure they came in last night . +Everything that came in off the fax machine last night is all on your desk . But I noticed that some of the faxes came through pretty blurred . Maybe you can take a look at them . If the copy is unreadable , I'll call them and ask them to relax . +Yeah , you're going to have to call them and get them to be re-faxed . These copies are so dark , I can't make out any of the words . +What about that one ? +This one ? This one is so light I can barely read it . How can that be ? +You know , I think the fax machine is out of toner , I can change the toner cartridge . That should solve the problem . +Yes , but this one will have to be re-faxed as well . And look , there's about three pages missing ! It looks loke the fax machine ate half my important faxes , and the ones that made it through are so blurred or too light , they're unreadable ! +I guess the fax machine is out of paper , too . Don't worry , I'll have someone look at it this afternoon , and in the meantime , I'll have your documents re-faxed to our other fax machine . +How do I know if there is a vacancy in a company ? +Easy . View the home page of the company , and see if they need staff .

I am assigned to work in the assembly shop . +How long will you work a day ? +My working hours aren ’ t fixed , sometimes I do the day shift , sometimes the night shift . In all , about 8 hours . +That ’ s rather hard . +But it matches my major . +How will you get your pay ? +My wage depends on production results . +What sort of welfare facilities does your company provide ? +The company provides labor insurance for all employees , as well as fine retirement policy . +Is there a union ? +There is the company union , but it really shares the same aims as the management . +So you must consider dearly before you go to work . +I will . +Welcome to Lincoln Bank .

Which do you want to go for ? +We will go for the US dollar account . +OK , I'll begin the opening procedure now and we'll let you know when everything is sorted . +Hi , Zina . I had a feeling you'd be stopping by . +Then you've heard from Vital ? +Yes . +Look , Vince . I didn't mean to step on your toes , but we need to be decisive . +I know it . WebTracker is playing for keeps . They'll go for our jugular if we give them the chance . +This is awkward , I know . I know you're upset . But in two weeks you'll be thanking me . +Maybe . Maybe I will . +Somebody , please answer the phone . +I've got it . +What did the boss say ? +He asked me if I'd like to be a newspaper salesperson ? +You are still student so I don't think you should have time for that . +Don't worry about that . He said I can do that at spare time . Anyway , it's just a part-time job . +Okay , then . What kind of newspaper he wants you to sell ? +It's a weekly newspaper named Olympic English . So I need to be here only on Sunday . +Sounds interesting . Especially that we are Olympic Volunteers . +That's exactly what I am thinking about , And also it's a good way to get social experiences . +And a good way to get some pocket money . +Let's do it together . +I'll say yes . Wait a minute . I need an IC card . +For what ? You have a telephone at home , don't you ? +Yes , but I don't want my Mom to tap my phone when I call Clive . +I have some good news for you . We've decided we'd like to send you to Shanghai on a business trip this weekend . +Oh . +Don't you think that it'd be a good thing for you to get out of the office foe a couple of days ? +Sure . +I thought you'd be a bit more excited about this . Everything will be paid for and I'll send my assistant with you to take care of everything for you . All you have to do is to get on the train tonight at 7 pm . +The train ? Will I be flying back then ? +Oh , no . We've bought your return ticket for you . I think you'll find it comfortable . +Will the train be very crowded ? +Oh no . the train hasn't been crowded at all recently . Besides , you're in first-class , so you'll be fine . +When is the first meeting then ? +They've scheduled the negotiation meeting for 9 +Where will I be staying ? +We've booked you a room in the same hotel as your meetings , so you won't need to deal much with the transportation system . +That's very sensible . Would it be alright if I left early today to prepare for the trip ? +That's not a problem . Have a nap if you can . You don't know how tight the schedule is for this business trip . +Good evening , may I help you ? +I would like to book a table for six tonight . +Sorry , sir . We have only double tables left . +What a pity . Can you recommend a nice restaurant near here ? +Sure . In the middle part of the fifth street , there is a Phoenix Restaurant . Maybe you can go there . +Honey . The cottages harmonize well with the landscape.That tourist resort is worth travelling to . +I ’ m so sorry that I have got to go . I have a business appointment right now . +Do you have any shoes like these ? +What size ? +Size five . +What colour ? +Black . +I ’ m sorry . We don't haven any . +But my sister bought this pair last month . +Did she buy them here ? +No , she bought them in the U . S . +We had some shoes like those a month ago , but we don't have any now . +Can you get a pair for me please ? +I ’ m afraid that I can ’ t . They were in fashion last year and the year before last . But they ’ re not in fashion this year . These shoes are in fashion now . +They look very uncomfortable . +They are very uncomfortable . But women always wear uncomfortable shoes ! +Can I collect unemployment benefits ? +Are you still working ? +My employer cut back on my hours . +If you got laid off or are working a lot fewer hours , you may qualify . +Do I definitely get to collect unemployment ? +Not all jobs pay into unemployment insurance , so their employees cannot collect benefits . +How do I check out my status to collect unemployment ? +You should have noticed unemployment insurance being deducted from your paycheck . Check your pay stubs . +How much will my unemployment check be ? +The more money you made , the more you will earn on unemployment . They have a formula . +I see you just graduated from college . What was your GPA ? +It wasn't as high as I would have liked . It was 2.5 . +Why do you think it wasn ’ t higher than that ? +I participated in several extracurricular activities . And I worked 2 jobs to put myself through school . +Wo , wo , that certainly is a lot for a young man to take on . +Give me some glasses please , Jane . +Which glasses ? These glasses . +No , not those . The ones on the shelf . +These ? +Yes , please . +Here you are . +Thanks . +We hope that partial shipment is allowed . +Could you explain in detail ? +Shipping the goods is to be made in three equal monthly installments . +How about 60 % for the first load , then 20 % each ? +The negotiation of the price has taken us a long time . I hope the following negotiation about quality will be quicker . +I think so , too . Our only request is that the quality is in conformity with the contract stipulations . +Don't worry . Our quality is based solely on our sales samples . +But what will you do if the goods we receive are not standard ? +We are sure to responsible to replace the defective ones . +That's great . +May I sit here ? +I'm afraid this seat is taken . +Oh , is it ?

Why ? +I'm going to try to find a place near the office . +Where are you living now ? +Out in the suburbs . It's a long trip to work every day . +How are you going to find an apartment ? +I'm going to buy a newspaper and check the classified ads . +Apartments in the city are expensive . +I know , but I'm going to enroll in a night school to take a course in business management . +Your dog is so much fun . He ’ s so playful . I wish our cat enjoyed being around people as much as your dog does . +Cats are well know for being more independent than dogs .

We take him out to the park every morning and evening . I think he ’ d be happy to stay there all day ! +I ’ m sure he would . We usually have to drag him home . +Your cat spends most of the day outdoors ' , right ? Do you kino where she goes ? +She spends less time outdoors and she used to . we have no idea where she goes . She ’ s very secretive . Occasionally , she brings back a dead mouse . +Have you ever thought about having another pet ? +The kids want a rabbit . I don ’ t think it would be a good idea to get a mouse or a fish ! That might be too tempting for our cat ! +Why do you want to be a tour guide ? +I like to travel and I also like meeting various kinds of people . +What courses have you completed at college ? +I have studied English , tourist culture , guiding methods and techniques and so on . +Have you learned any other foreign languages ? +Yes , I have learned Japanese as well . +Do you know that is a hard job ? +Yes , I know .

Do you remember passing some traffic lights further up this road ? +Yes , I do . They are about two miles away , right ? +That ’ s right . Drive back to the traffic rights and turn right . Follow the road for about a mile , until you see the plaza hotel . It ’ s a really big hotel . You can ’ t miss it . Turn left at the hotel . +So , right at the traffic lights two miles up the road , then left at the plaza hotel , a mile along that road .

She was a little better . +Must I catch a number 7 bus to get there ? +No , you needn't . A number 13 bus will also take you to the hospital . +Number 13 buses run much more frequently , don't they ? +Yes . I caught a number 7 bus yesterday , and I had to wait for half an hour at the bus stop +Thank you , Henry . I'll get a number 13 . +But number 13 buses leave from the centre of town . You'll have to walk two miles to catch one . +Would you like to come by and play bridge ? +Well , let's see.Why don't we go dancing for a change ? We haven't done that for a long time . +Well , to tell the truth , I don't really feel like it tonight .

Just stand there , please . +Fill it up with unleaded and check the oil , please . +Do you want me to check the tires ? +No , that's all for now . What does it come to ? +$ 10 . +I am sorry I am so late to work . +What was the problem ? +I lost track of time . +Things happen ; make sure it doesn't become a habit . +OK , it won't happen again . +All right , please take this message and call this client . +OK , no problem . +Now does everyone understand the diagram on the board ? +Yes , I understand the numbers . +I will explain it again ; especially for those of you who arrived late . +What's the price for that suit ? +It's $ 160 . +Well , I like everything about it except the price . +Sorry , sir , we are having a sale now . +Excuse me , How do I get to the Grand hotel ? +I am sorry , I didn ’ t catch what you said .

Emory , I ’ d like to take this afternoon off if it's all right with you . +But Steven , you've called in sick 3 times during the last three weeks . +I know , Mr . Emory . I'm sorry . But I really need to see the doctor this afternoon . I feel dizzy and I can't concentrate on my work . +All right , then . But don't forget to bring a doctors note tomorrow . +OK , thank you ! +Good afternoon , sir . What can I do for you ? +I'd like to get this prescription filled . +No problem . Please wait a minute . ( She goes to the back for a few minutes . ) Here is your medicine , sir . Take two tablets after each meal and once before bed . +Thanks .

He's an engineer , the most famous one in our company . +No wonder his son is so clever . +Laura told me today that she has a friend with a car for sale . +Oh , she did ? Then it's a used car of course . +Yes , it's used , but she said it was in very good shape . It's a small foreign car . +What else did she tell you ? Did she tell you how many miles there are on it ? +She thinks it has about twenty-five or thirty thousand miles . +That's not bad . What about the price ? Did she tell you how much her friend wants for the car ? +Three thousand dollars . +Three thousand ! That's almost too good to be true . Did she say why her friend wants to sell it ? +He lives in the city and you know how expensive it is to keep a car in the city . +Well , we can see it for ourselves . Did she tell you when we can go and look at it ? +No , but she gave me her friend's telephone number . I can call him and make an appointment . +It's very dark in here .

But you have to promise me that you will study hard in your English class . +All right , all right . I understand . +How do you get along with your co-workers ? +I get along pretty well with most of them . +So how do you develop good relationships in the office ? +I think the key point is to be considerate of your co-workers ' feelings and needs and make a good working environment . +I think you ’ re right , but it does seem that there are always a few coworkers that are harder to work with than others . +May I exchange this DVD player ? +Certainly . Do you have your receipt ? +Here you are . +Now , why do you want to exchange it ? +It won't play a DVD . +I'm sorry .

You know we usually don't give any discount . but considering the newly established business relationship between us , I could give you 3 % off the list price . +Only 3 % ? That's not much . If you could make some concessions , we would probably buy some of your other products . +OK . OK . I don't want to haggle with you . Let's say , how about 3.5 % ? +I think I can accept that . +Did you put the blue bin out on the street ? +Oh , no . I forgot . +Well , you'd better take it out front . +What time does the recycle truck come by ? +It usually gets here at noon on Tuesday , which is tomorrow . +I'll just take it out to the street tomorrow morning . +Oh , no , you don't . +What do you mean ? +Every morning you get up late and rush off to work late . +Do you think I'll forget to do it ? +You'll remember to do it , but you won't have time to do it . +Okay , I'll take it out front right now . +Good afternoon , need any help ? +My name is Liu Wei .

Flight GB105 is one to Milan , are you sure of your change ? +Yes . +Don ’ t you have air-conditioning in your apartment ? It ’ s sweltering here ! +Well , there is air-conditioning . Did you see that window air conditioner there ? The problem is that the window unit isn ’ t powerful enough . +I guess not , huh . +Well , I ’ m going to move out anyway . The new apartment has central air-conditioning . +You should have moved out long , long ago . +Well , I had to wait until the lease expired . So ... +So how can you stand the heat ? +Well , I open the windows and ... and I ’ Ve got an electric fan ere . It helps a little . +It's been a long time , Mrs , Lee . +Yes . I went to Hawaii on a vacation with my husband . +When did you come back ? Did you have a good time ? +We came back the day before yesterday . I enjoyed myself there very much . The beach is beautiful . You should go there some day . The sun was lovely , too . +I will . How would you like your hair today ? The same style as usual ? +I have a special party tonight , and I'd like to change my style . Actually , I ’ m thinking about a perm . My sister is getting married next month . I think that if I have a perm now , I'll look very natural by then . What do you say ? +That's true . Here are some samples of hairstyles . What do you think about this one ? +No , I don't like short hair . I like this one . The wave looks beautiful , and it fits my age too . +Very well . You aren't in a hurry , are you ? +No , you can take your time . Oh , I also want a manicure while I am having the perm . +Ok . The manicurist will be right here . +Thank you . How much will this cost ? +It's 90 dollars in all . +Steven , we are preparing a martial arts show for the New Year's party . Would you like to join us ? +I'd love to ! But I have never learned martial arts , and there is only a month left before the New Year . +That's OK . A month is enough for you to learn the basic movements . It would be great to have you with us on the show . +Sounds great ! Shall I learn the actions that Jet Li did in the movies ? +No . You know , there are many schools and styles of kung fu . What we will perform is a set of Chinese shadow boxing . +Whatever ! I'm glad to learn something of Chinese kung fu . Thanks for asking me . +Thank you for joining us ! Now let's see some pictures and know more about kung fu . +Good ! +Is there any way you can cut us a better deal on your wholesale price for this order ? +We did the best that we could to give you a low price . Did you get our recent estimate ? +Based on the estimate you gave us , by the time we figure in transportation and other expenses , our profit is short.With the offer you've given me , we're making next to nothing.Can ' t you do any better ? +I've already given you a discount of 20 % off of our normally charge . If I go any lower , we'll have loss on this project . I really want to work with you on this . But we've already gone as low as we can go . +I'll be honest with you , our budgeted cost can't exceed more than $ 150 per unit.That is our bottom line . If you can meet that price , you've got the deal.Otherwise ... +I'll tell you what , I'll go over the number again with our financial team and see what I can do . I can't give you any guarantees . But we can try . +This is the last of the milk . +I know . I intend to go to the store today . +Would you get some of that new cereal we saw advertised on TV ? +Which one ? +You know ... the one with the silly ad about how vitamins jump up and down . +Oh , you mean ' KIKES ' ? +Yeah . That's the one . +Well , I'll see . Sometimes the stores don't have some of the new kinds of cereal . +I want to ask you for a favor . I want to rent an apartment here in Beijing , but as a foreigner , I don't know the normal practice . Can you give me some advice ? +First , why don't you tell me what you need , such as how big a room , where you want to live , whether you want to live downtown , and what you like to do . Then I can figure out which apartment is most suitable for you . +I am a student and want to live in Haitian , so that I can live close to my school . I like to play soccer and I like a quiet apartment so I can study . +I think that an apartment with two rooms and a kitchen would suit your needs . I can introduce you to a place for rent near your school . The apartment is on the 7th floor , so it is very quiet and suitable for studying . +That sounds great ! +You can also go to the school's sports field to play soccer , and if you're lucky you might make some Chinese friends there . It is right near the market and has comfortable facilities . +Thank you so much . That's very kind of you . +What is your policy on returns ? +If you bring them back with your receipt within seven days , you'll get a full refund . Also , if you need alterations to the pants , just bring them in and we'll do them for free . +Sounds good . +That'll be $ 70 , please . Will you be paying by cash or charge ? +Charge . Here's my card . +Okay , sir , here you are . Thank you very much . +Thank you . +How's the chicken ? +It's delicious . +OK , so now the last point on our agenda . Jill , let's go over the profit and loss statement . +Great . Well , the main issue here , as you can see is that our expenses are through the roof . +Let ’ s see ... These numbers are off the charts ! What's going on here ! +Well , um , sir , the company expenditures on entertainment and travel are out of control . Look at these bills for example . Just this month we ’ Ve paid over twenty thousand dollars for hotel charges ! +OK , thank you . I ’ ll look into it . +The list goes on and on . Here , this is a bill for five thousand dollars for spa treatments ! +Thank you , that will be all . I ’ ll take care of it . +Look at this one sir , eight thousand dollars were spent in one night at a place called ” Wild Things ” ? ! +OK , I get it ! ! Thank you for your very thorough analysis ! +Are you going somewhere ? +Yes , I ’ m off to the department store . I must buy some furniture for my new flat . +Really ? Well you ’ ll have to get there before 6pm because they close early today . +Ok . Thanks for that information . +Yeah and remember if you buy something you mustn ’ t carry it home otherwise your back will get worse . +Ok , do they have a delivery service ? +Yes , but it ’ s not free , you have to pay . +Ok , I ’ ll see you later . +Hi , Steven . You have finished a wonderful project recently . +Oh , yeah , A . Thank you for approving my job . +Don't be proud . You'll gain a lot in the following job . +Yeah , I believe it , but I want to know if you will give me a raise . +B , talking about salary is not smart . You are a new manager and you'd better learn more professional skills . +You are right , boss , but I need specific confirm to keep the future work better . +Okay , You are such a good talker . +This is today ’ s schedule . At 8: 30AM , conference with the department managers . At 9 o ’ clock , live for the workshop where you ’ ll award prizes to the staff for preventatives . +That ’ s great . What are the prizes ? +3000 RIB as bonus for each person . +To encourage the staff increases . +Ok . Next thing is laying the corner-stone for the new plant at 10 AM . At 12 AM , back here for lunch . +What about the afternoon ? +At 2 PM , give a presentation here with the press . At four o ’ clock sharp , have dinner with Mr . Smith , manager of NCC . +Hello , I'd like to see Mr . Charles , the manager , please . +You don't make any prior appointment , do you ? +No . I haven't , but I'll take only a few minutes of his time . +Please tell your name , company and the nature of your business . +Yes . My name is Lin Tao , the director of Guangzhou Computer Corporation . +I see . Wait a minute , please . +( 2 minutes later ) Mr . Lin , Mr . Charles can see you now . This way , please . +Have you ever served in any international trading company ? +Yes . I once worked in a small company for one year . +Then why did you leave ? +My reason for leaving is that I wish to get into the advertising business . +What have you learnt from this short experience ? +I've learnt a lot about business knowhow . I got to know what kind of knowledge was needed in my future work . +What's the matter ? +Which subway should I take to get to the East Side ? +Oh , you have to take the shuttle to Grand Central . +Which train is that ? Which platform does it leave from ? +Mail room . Karen speaking . +Hi , Karen . This is John Williams in the purchasing department . Can you check to see if there ’ s a package down there for me ? +Certainly , Mr . Williams . Just one moment , please . +Thanks , Karen . +Hello , Mr . Smith , Wang Peng speaks . +Hello ! Mr . Wang . this is Smith . +I'm calling to thank you for the wonderful dinner I had yesterday . +It's a pleasure . +I'll come back to China tonight . I hope to see you again sometime . +I hope so . +I appreciate all help of you during my stay here . +Don't mention it . +Please let me know when you go to China and let me be of some assistance to you . +Yes , I will . Have a nice flight back . +Thanks , good-bye ! +Good-bye ! +how is your house hunting going ? +not very well . I haven ’ t found anything within my price range yet . +how much are you looking to spend ? +I can only afford about 300 pounds a month . +looks like you ’ re not going to get more than a bedroom in a shared flat with that . +really ? That ’ s a lot of money to pay for one room . +well , if you want to live in London , you have to pay the price ! +do you know of anyone who needs a roommate ? +I can ask around at work . Do you have a preference for makers or non-smokers ? +I ’ d prefer non-smoking roommates , but I guess I ’ ll have to take what I can get ! +how long do you want to sign a contract for ? +I can sign a contract up to a year . I don ’ t know where I ’ ll be after that . +do you need a furnished or unfurnished apartment ? +I don ’ t have any furniture , so it ’ d be great if it were furnished . +you know that you ’ ll have to pay utilities on top of the rent , right ? +no , I thought that would be included in the rent . +it ’ s not usually included , so you ’ ll have to factor in about 100 pounds more each month for utilities . +I don't think I can afford that . +don ’ t worry . Sometimes people will give you a discount if you promise to do the clearing or take care of the children . +that's a good idea . I ’ ll look into finding something like that . +Did your meal meet with your approval ? +Our meal was absolutely perfect ! +How about a dessert to top off that wonderful meal ? +Dessert sounds perfect , but I would like to split something with my friends . +On this evening's dessert list , we have chocolate mousse cake , homemade fresh strawberry shortcake , and a spicy rum apple crisp . +I think that the apple crisp would be wonderful . +One dessert will serve two , so would you like to split a second one ? +We would also like a piece of chocolate mousse cake . Could you bring us four dessert forks , please ? +How about some coffee and tea as well ? +We are all tea drinkers . Please bring us four teas . +I will prepare your desserts and have someone bring you your drinks right away . +The hot drinks first would be great . Thanks ! +What can I do for you ? +I am looking for a pair of trousers . Do you have any good ideas ? +What about jeans ? It's the fashion now . +I don't like it . Actually I am looking slacks . +Then , how about this ? +It seems all right . Do you have pantaloons ? +what can I do for you , sir ? +What do we get this morning ? +Fruit juice , cake and refreshments and everything . +I ’ d like to a glass of tomato juice please . +Any serial , sir ? +Yes . A dish of cornmeal weight . +And eggs ? +Yes . Baked eggs and buttered toast . I like my baker very crazy . +How do you want to your eggs ? +Fried , please . +Anything more , sir ? +No , that ’ s enough , thank you . +We will go to climb up the hill tomorrow . Let's go to supermarket to buy some food . +Yes , we can have a picnic on the top of the hill . +What should we buy ? +Let me see . We should go to buy some fruit first . +It is heavy and not convenient to take them to the top . +How about taking a cantaloupe ? It is light and sweet . Children love it . +Good idea . We can buy some candy and nuts for children . +Yes . Look , cashew , peanuts , assorted biscuits , chocolate , canned goods , anything else ? +That's enough for the kids . Get some drinks . +Definitely beer . Two bottles . +Right . We should buy some yoghurt for kids . +Yes . Shall we buy some saucers ? It will be used during our picnic . +OK . Four saucers . We can buy some custard tarts tomorrow morning . +Let's go to queue up . There are so many people in the lines . +I'd like to have a couple of complete sets of paper money and coins . +Yeah . You can take them home and either use them as a gift or keep them as mementoes . +Ah , where can I find old paper money and coins used before and after 1949 ? +I'd suggest that you go to the Philately Store in Nanjing Road East , where the items are authentic and the prices are reasonable . +Good . Sorry to have troubled you so much , Miss . +You're always welcome . Anything else can I do for you , sir ? +No , thanks . I did not notice it has been dark outside . I think it is time to dinner . +I guess it is . The restaurant is on the second floor . Please enjoy your dinner , sir ! +Hey there , how are you doing ? +I am great . How are you ? +Well , I got laid off , and I ’ m looking for work . +Yeah , me too ! What are you thinking you would like to do ? +Right now , I ’ ll take about anything that will pay the mortgage . +Have you gone out on any interviews so far ? +I went out on one interview , but I haven ’ t heard back from them . +Did you see the posting for the electrician apprentice program ? +You know , I saw that and it looks pretty good ! +Let ’ s go check it out again ! +Hi , I ’ d like a single room . +Do you have a reservation ? +No , I ’ m afraid not . +Let me check if we have any vacancies ... You ’ re in luck.We have one single room available . +How much is it ? +$ 60 a night.No charge for local calls on the phone or for the TV , unless you decide to watch the pay-per-view channels . +Okay , I ’ ll take it . +Here ’ s your key.Check out time is 12 noon.If you want to stay until 6 p . m . , it ’ s another half day.After that you have to pay for another night . +Okay.When is your restaurant open ? +It ’ s open from 6:30 a.m.to 10 p.m.every day . +Okay , thank you.Which way to the room ? +It ’ s that way , on the second floor . +Thanks . +Hello . My name is John Sandals , and I've got a reservation . +May I see some identification , sir , please ? +Sure . Here you are . +Thank you so much . Have you got a credit card , Mr . Sandals ? +I sure do . How about American Express ? +Unfortunately , at the present time we take only MasterCard or VISA . +No American Express ? Okay , here's my VISA . +Thank you , sir . You'll be in room 507 , nonsmoking , with a queen-size bed . Do you approve , sir ? +Yeah , that'll be fine . +That's great . This is your key , sir . If you need anything at all , anytime , just dial zero . +I am really exhausted , you know , I have been working without the weekend for two weeks . My boss always asks us to work overtime . +Does your boss pay you for the over-time work ? +No . But he provides free meals and sometimes gives us some small gifts . Many of us get very tired of this , and we'd rather have weekends than stay in the office . +He should know that this is against the Labor Law in our country . Legally , employees should get double pay if asked to do extra work during the weekend or on holidays . +We all know about that , but we have no choice . The chairman of the trade union says he is going to negotiate with the management . +I suggest that you go to the lawyers ' office to get some help . +That's a good idea . I think we will soon come to a solution to the problem . +Morgan , can I ask you a question ? +sure , what is it ? +I was just wondering if many Chinese people take their leftover food home from a restaurant . +in most cities in China , doggie bags are quite uncommon . +what happen to all the leftover food ? +it usually goes to the dump . +that seems like an awful waste ! Why don't people order fewer dishes so that they don't have to throw so much away at the end of the meal ? +ordering a lot of food at restaurants is just a tradition in China . You know , in the past , people could not afford to eat out like they can today . +I guess that makes sense . I just think it would make more sense to take the leftovers home . +well , if you want , you can take the leftovers home . +no , that's OK . You know what they say when in Rome ... +I was impressed that you tried the pig's feet . I heard that many foreigners don't like to eat them . +many people in my generation don't eat pig's feet , but my parents grew up eating them , so I think they are OK . +did you like them ? You could take the last one home with you . +that's OK . I'll try anything once , but sometimes , once is enough ! +Is this the right counter to check in for this flight ? +Yes , it is .

So what am I supposed to do now ? +We apologize for any inconveniences that may be caused by this . If your flight is urgent , I can put you on a waiting list for another flight this evening , but it's on a first come first served basis , so there is no guarantee that you will be able to take that flight . +What's my other option ? +Well , If you can wait until tomorrow , we will put you up in a hotel for today and you can take scheduled flight for tomorrow morning . +That's fine .

I go shopping once a week +Why don't you do your shopping at home ? +What do you mean ? I can't understand . +I mean you can buy things through the Internet , that is E-commerce . +Really ?

Our fifth anniversary ’ s next Friday . +Well , I would be happy to assist you in choosing the perfect gift for her . Is there anything particular that you have in mind ? +No , not really ... I ’ m completely at a loss . +Well , you can give her a set of pearl earrings , or this beautiful heart-shaped pendant . What is her favorite gemstone ? +That purple one . I ’ m sorry ... I ’ Ve never bought jewellery for anyone and I ’ m kind of nervous . +Don ’ t worry , we specialize in providing our customers a relaxed , pressure-free shopping environment . That stone is an amethyst . We have a range of beautiful amethyst pieces . Take a look at this bracelet . It ’ s 18K rose-gold , studded with amethyst and blue topaz . It ’ s a great statement piece . +Oh ... wow . That ’ s really pretty.Jess would love that . But ... I was thinking of something a little more delicate , perhaps a necklace ? +We have this beautiful platinum pendant , or you could also get her a locket . You could also get her a timepiece — it ’ s both glamorous yet functional.If you tell me a little more about your girlfriend , maybe I can help you find something for her . +Jess ? Well , she ’ s very smart , and has a great sense of humor . She ’ s very feminine ... +Perhaps you could give her a ring ? +Well ... actually ... I was thinking about asking Jess to marry me ... I ’ Ve just been so nervous . +Well sir , I believe your fifth anniversary is a great time to propose ! +Okay , I ’ Ve decided . I ’ m going to pop the question ! +Fabulous ! We should look at engagement rings then ! Now that ’ s a whole other section . +What are you doing , Janice ? +I am reading the book on patent and I think it will be helpful for my work +Patent ? Are you also learning something about patent ? +Yep ! I heard that your company is registering a new trademark . +You are well-informed . Can you tell me something about the Patent Law in our country from the book you are reading ? +I just read this in the whole afternoon . Let me show you . +So coincidental . Actually we can exchange some information on this problem . +The purpose of the law is to protect and encourage inventions and to promote the development of science and technology . The law came into effect in 1984 , and it consists of 8 chapters with 69 articles . +Is there any provision on applying for the patent for foreign company ? +Foreign companies should appoint a patent agency , which is designated by our government to act as his patent agent . This task is usually taken by the Patent Agent Department . +How long is the duration of patent right for an invention according to your Patent Law ? +15 years . +Cheers ! Let ’ s tie one on . +Right , drink as much as you can . +Excuse me , could you tell me how to get to the school clinic ? I've lost my way . +Yes . Go straight ahead till you come to the traffic lights , turn left there and it's the first turning on the right . +Straight ahead to the traffic lights , left and then right . +That's it . It'll take you about five minutes . +Thank you very much . +I really want to go to China for vacation , but I can ’ t find a cheap plane ticket . +Have you tried the Internet ? +No , not yet . Can you find a good price there ? +Wow , you really live in the Stone Age , Mom . +Well , you don ’ t have to be mean . How do I do it ? +Go to yahoo.com and click on “ Travel ” and “ Tickets . ” They ’ ll be about a billion sites to look at . +O . K . Thanks . I ’ ll let you know what I find . +All right . +I ’ ll look for a ticket for you , too . +What kind of person do you think you are ? +Well , I am always energetic and enthusiastic . That's my strongest personality . +What are your strengths and weaknesses ? +Em , as I have said , I'm diligent and industrious . On the other hand , sometimes I'm too hard-working and I put myself under too much pressure to make things perfect . +What qualities would you expect of persons working as a team ? +To work in a team , in my opinion , two characteristics are necessary for a person . That is , the person must be cooperative and aggressive . +How do you spend your leisure time ? +I like playing games and having sports . They are my favourite hobbies . +So , what kind of sport do you like most ? +Oh , it's hard to narrow it down to just one . I mean , I like all kinds of sports , basketball , swimming , bike riding and so on . Maybe it is just the reason why I am so energetic and vigorous . +I'd like to have this cashed , please . +Please put you name and address here . May I see your passport ? +Yes . +How would you like it ? +Ten hundreds and ten twenties , and the rest in small change , please . +OK . Here you are . +I swear I will never shop at a street market in China . It's a terrible place full of excellent profiteers ! You have to keep an eye whenever it comes to paying for something . +cool down , Harry ! What are you really mad about ? Did you get ripped off ? +yes . Last Sunday I went to a nearby market . It was on open-air fair . I chanced upon this bag and bought it on the spot , without even trying to strike a bargain . I paid one hundred and twenty . And just now I was told by my Chinese colleagues I bought it overpriced . I could have talked my way to thirty . +is that so ? I'm afraid people here will not take pity on unlucky guys like you . Bargaining has always been an indispensable procedure in business deals . It's the norm of free trade . The seller sets a preposterous price , and the buyer tries his best to bring it down , until a compromise is reached . Yet you ignored the process . No wonder you ended up easy prey . +but don't you think it annoying to overcharge the customers by such a handsome margin ? +of course , that's something really irritating . And the only way to avoid being trapped is to know in advance about the real worth of the stuff . I recommend you to consult the price tags in the supermarket first . And then you may negotiate for a fair deal . +I'm looking for some black pumps to go with my evening gown . Could you show me what you have ? +Sure , we have several different styles you may choose . How high of a heel do you want ? +Not to high , maybe an inch or an inch in the half would be the best . +In that case , I might have just the pair for you . Look at these , they were made in Italy , the leather is very soft , so your toes will not get pinched . You can tell just by looking at it that it was superbly made . +Those are beautiful . Do you have any in a size six ? +Yes , we do , we also have this same style in dark blue and red . +No , thank you . I'm just looking for a black pair . +Let me go to the back and get them . I'll be right back . +Let's get this card for mom , it's funny . +Brad , it's her birthday . Let's get her something really special . +Do you mean girly ? +I mean beautiful and heartfelt-something that will make her cry . +Are you for real ? +Women like that kind of thing , beautiful thoughts that are touching . +I think we should each get our own card . +Okay , you get your funny one and I'll get my beautiful one . +Good morning , sir . Sorry to disturb you . May I make up your room now ? +Yes , please . We ’ re on my way out . You can put up make up sign on . Could you bring us some towels and hangers . +No problems , sir . Everything will be already when you come back . +What would my new duties be ? +Your main responsibility is trouble-shooting between top management and the general employees . +Will I have the chance to take business trip abroad once in a while ? +Yes , you definitely will . +How many rooms are you looking for ? +Oh , four or five . How much is the rent for this apartment ? +150 a month . +150 ? No , I'm not really interested in this place . It isn't big enough . It isn't near enough to my office . +May I know how long will it take to get some more in from the factory ? +About 3 weeks . +When will you be able to deliver ? +By the end of this month , at the latest . +When can I have your firm C . I . F . prices , that is to say , the final offer , Mr . London ? +We ’ ll have them worked out by this evening and let you have them tomorrow morning . Would you be free to come by then ? +Yes . I ’ ll be here tomorrow morning at 10 . +Perfect . Our offer remains open for 3 days . +I don ’ t need that long to make up my mind . If your prices are agreeable and if I can get the commission I want , I can place the order right away . +I ’ m sure you ’ ll find our price most favorable . Elsewhere prices for hardware have gone up tremendously in recent years . Our prices haven ’ t changed much . +I ’ m glad to hear that . As I ’ Ve just said , I hope to conclude some substantial business with you . +We shall be very pleased . Is there anything else I can do for you , Mrs . Anderson ? +I ’ m buying for chain department stores in Canada . They are also interested in Egyptian carpets . Could you introduce me to the person in charge of this line ? +Certainly , I ’ ll make an appointment for you with Mr . Jordan of the Egypt National Native Produce and Animal By-products Import and Export Corporation . +Thank you very much . +Have you been registered yet , sir ? +No , I haven't been registered . +Are you a medical or surgical case ? +I'm a medical case . +Do you have your medical history sheet with you ? +Yes , here you are . +Please fill in this admission card . Well , how long do you expect to stay in the hospital ? +The doctor told me to stay about one month . +But there're no beds available now . Two patients will be discharged this afternoon , so you'll have to wait until then . +Well , when they leave the hospital , give me a call and I'll come back . +Certainly . See you in the afternoon . +Hey , Mr Brown . How are you ? Look at that smile on your face ! +Recently it's been pretty good , actually . +That's what we like to hear , a profitable business . +Well , yes . Thanks , there's no trouble at the moment . +So , what can I do for you today ? Are you needing to withdraw or transfer ? +I'm going to need a Deposit Certification , to handle the affairs related to home . +Oh , domestic things ? Yes , of course , we can help you with that . +That was a really good meal , Gordon . +It sure was . I couldn't eat another bite . +Well , it is getting pretty late . I think we should go home . +You're right . I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow . +Let's see how much the bill is . +Don't worry about it . Tonight is my treat . +What are you talking about ? We'll split the bill . +No , I insist . I kept telling you that I would treat you to dinner but I still haven't . +No way , Gordon . I know that you are a little short on cash at the moment . There's no need for you to pay for the whole bill . +Alright , if that's the way you are going to be , we'll split the bill . +That's better . This way we will both have money to take a cab home , otherwise , you would probably have to walk . +Just promise you will let me treat you to dinner next week , ok ? +You've got a deal . +Great . Bye . +Bye . +How can we get in touch with you ? +Please call me or send e-mail . Could you please let me know when your organization can make a decision ? +About one week . +I really appreciate your time and help . See you then . +Does your company have a large population ? +No , It is a middle-sized private company . +Do you have more than 200 employees in the company ? +Yes , there are approximately three hundred people . +Good morning . What can I do for you ? +Well , I hate to disturb you , but I really can't stand it any more . Can you change my room for me ? It's too noisy . I was woken up several times by the noise the baggage elevator made . It was too much for me . +I'm sorry to hear that . This room is at the end of the corridor . It's possible that the noise is heard early in the morning when everything is quiet . +Anyhow , I'd like to change my room . +I'm awfully sorry , Miss . I do apologize . We'll manage it , but we don't have any spare room today . Could you wait till tomorrow ? A tour company will be leaving tomorrow morning . There'll be some rooms for you to choose from . +All right . I hope I'll be able to enjoy my stay in a quiet suite tomorrow evening and have a sound sleep . +Be sure . And if there is anything more you need , please let us know . +OK . Thank you . +You're welcome . I hope you'll be more comfortable in your new room . +Good afternoon , sir . May I help you ? +Yes , I'd like a cheeseburger and a large order of French fries . +Would you like anything to drink with that ? +Yes , a medium Coke . +Will that be all ? +Yes . +For here or to go ? +To go , please . ( The attendant hands the customer his order . ) +That'll be $ 4 . 25 ... ( The customer gives her a 5 dollar bill . ) ... out of five . Here is your change , sir . Have a nice day . +Excuse me , could you tell me how to get to the school clinic ? I've lost my way . +Yes . Go straight ahead till you come to the traffic lights , turn left there and it's the first turning on the right . +Straight ahead to the traffic lights , left and then right . +That's it . It'll take you about five minutes . +Thank you very much . +Good morning , this is Mary . +Good morning , this is Jane . This is Apple Co . Ltd . +Hello , Jane ! Is that the Human Resource Department ? +Yes , this is . May I help you ? +I had an interview with your company two weeks ago . I am calling to ask about the interview result . I hope you can give me a positive reply . +Oh , the results have come out , and I can tell you ... Yes , I find your name . You are hired . Congratulations ! +Thank you ! I am glad to hear that . When would it be convenient for me to start working ? +Next Monday morning . +What is the starting salary for me ? +Your starting salary is 2500 yuan a month , and after you become a permanent employee , it will be higher . +I appreciate the offer .

What's the rate ? +78 dollars a day with unlimited mileage . +And I'd like to have insurance just in case . +Is there an additional driver ? +No . +If you want full coverage insurance , it will be 8 dollars per day .

How many days would you like to use it ? +Just one day . +May I see your driver's license and credit card please ? +Is the international driving licence fine ? +Yes , it is . ( ... ) Thank you . Please fill in this form . Can you check this box , and put your initials here , and again here . +Did you hear who won the election ? +No , who was it ? +McCain is our new President . +You ’ re a liar ! +I ’ m not happy about it , either . +Who voted for him ? +I guess the people wanted him as our new leader . +That ’ s the dumbest thing that I ’ Ve ever heard . +I have to tell you something else that you probably won ’ t like . +What could be worse than what you just told me ? +I wasn ’ t serious , because Obama got elected . +That ’ s fantastic ! You really got me there . +I just got a call from Mrs . Fitzgerald . See what your Willie has just done . +My Willie ? Why has he suddenly become my Willie ? +Because he takes after you , he's got into trouble again . +What did he do this time ? I remember last time he was painting her fence to repay her for breaking it , and he accidentally painted her cat . +That was last time . This time it's worse . +Ok , tell me . +Well , he was playing baseball with some friends ... +And the ball went through her window ? That's not as bad as last time . +True , but that's not all . The ball went through the window and hit the vase she has in her front window ... +Ok , that's probably expensive , but not that bad . +And then , ricocheted off her fish bowl . Mrs . Fitzgerald at the last minute dived and saved her fish . +At least the fish were saved . If that's the end of the damages , then everything isn't that bad . +Stop interrupting me . Finally , the ball flew through the air and knocked out Willie's school principal , who was having a cup of coffee with Mrs . Fitzgerald . +Hmm , that is bad . +Wow ! They've got everything here . All the world's famous brands . Aunt Cindy , what is your favorite brand ? +I love all the fashionable things . But my favorite brand is Chanel . +Oh , that's a very expensive brand , but with good reason . +Yeah . Each style is specially designed by world's top designers . So they can always make you look amazing . +I see . Come here . The high heels here look really attractive . But I wonder whether it's comfortable to wear any of them ? +Not really , especially at the beginning , if you wear high heels all day long , your feet would hurt . But , no big deal . Women can always get used to that . +It's not a simple thing to be beautiful . +Sure . But everyone loves to be beautiful . Hey , do you think this pair of sunglasses matches the handbag well ? +Yeah , very tasteful . And with them , you look even more fashionable . Oh , there are so many French perfumers . Oops , perfumes for guys ? So strange ! +Come on . Fashion is not only for women . Men also share the equal right to chase fashion . It's the new fashion for men to wear perfumes , which is called cologne . +Oh , really , that's really something new . I'm afraid not everyone can accept it . +It takes time for that . But people's consuming attitudes are changing quickly . +That's true . Well , it's obvious that fashion is not a cheap thing . So , do you spend all your money on it ? +No . Fashion is just part of my life , which improves its quality . But also , I'm good at financing . I have a credit card , but I never overdraft . +How is it that you are my mom's sis ? You two are so different . She always picks up bargains and spends more than she earns . You do so much better than her . +I have to say that's just the result of difference of our consumptive habits . +Is Bob home ? +Hold on +Would you please weigh this letter to see what the postage is ? +Do you want to send it by ordinary or registered mail ? +By ordinary air mail , please . +Anything of value in it ? +A postal order for four hundred dollars . +In that case , you'd better have it registered . +Will I be informed when my friend gets the letter ? +Yes , when your friend gets it , he'll sign a receipt , which will be sent to you by mail . Then you can be sure it's been received . +All right , I'll have it registered , then . +Maybe you should have told me first ? +Why ? +Because we're partners . +I realize that but I needed to make a decision . +Excuse me . +Yes , sir . Can I help you ? +Um , this steak , I asked for to be medium rare . +Medium rare , that ’ s right , sir . I remember your order . +Well , I ’ m afraid it isn ’ t . It ’ s a bit too well done and rather tough . Would you mind changing ? +If it is not to your satisfaction , I ’ ll certainly bring you another . But I ’ m afraid you may have to wait for a few minutes . +Yes , that ’ s all right . Thank you very much . +Employees in this company have to have a good command of English . Do you think you are proficient in both written and spoken English ? +Yes , I think I am quite proficient in both written and spoken English . +Well , then , please tell me about your English education . +I have been studying English since junior high school . And I majored in English in college . +I see , do you speak any other languages ? +Yes , I speak a little French and Japanese . +You must be very busy these days . I heard you are responsible for the meeting arrangements this time . It can be the most important meeting for our company this year . +Sure it is . I am up to my ears as time expressed . +Do we still use the conference room in the same hotel as last time ? You remember ? I like that one . +If we were in the same conference room , I would not work late these days . That conference room has been booked out . This time our boss wants to hold the meeting in our company . So everything has to be rearranged and checked , like tables , chairs , mean tacks , podium , audio and visual equipments and even the lunch menu . +Good preparation will improve the effectiveness of the meeting . I am sure that your hard work will pay off . +( Having lunch with Joseph ) Have you ever been invited to a Chinese feast ? +Sure . Beijingers are distinguished for their warmth and hospitality . +As far as you could see , is dining at a Chinese table a distinct experience ? To what extent does it differ from that in your homeland ? +To begin with , I have to use chopsticks . +But you look quite proficient in using them now . +Certainly . After all , I've been here for two years . It's not much uphill work for a foreigner to get used to Chinese dinner utensils . Though , I do feel hazy about how to behave appropriately at a Chinese dinner table . +Yes , table etiquette . There are a multitude of rules that foreigners might never know until they were told . Some practices even appear somewhat awkward or rude to Westerners , while they are the norm in China . Hey , your chopsticks , old silly ! You should not stab them vertically into the rice bow ! +Anything strange about that ? +Maybe you should have placed them horizontally over your bowl or plate . They resemble two incense sticks used at sacrifices . It's very inauspicious , and might enrage all present . +Oh , sorry ! There's a long story even with a mere pair of sticks . +Do you two know each other ? +Yeah , we were classmates when I was in university . +Can you help me , please ? +Sure , if I can +I want to send this small parcel to Canada . +By airmail or seamail ? +How different are these rates ? +Your parcel weights 420 grams . So it is 21.3 dollars by air , or 6.9 dollars by sea . +How long it will take by sea ? +About a month . +Then , by sea , please . +Please fill out this form , and then take your parcel to the counter on my left-hand side . +All right . Thank you very much . +Not at all . +We'd like some local-flavored pastry . Can you recommend some ? +How about some Zongzi ? +What is that ? +Well , it's a pyramid-shaped dumpling made from glutinous rice wrapped in reed leaves . +That sounds appealing . OK , we will have that . +Do you want some stuffed bun ? It's delicious , too . +OK . We will try some . +Anything else ? +No , it's enough . +OK . Wait for a moment , please . I'll be back in a moment with the dishes . +OK . Thank you . +How much is the hat ? +$ 10 . +I have seen this cheaper in other places . +Well , what about $ 8 ? Take it or leave it . +Could you give us a detailed description of the properties of your product ? +OK . The X2500 has the unique feature of providing better data flow with less input time . It will reduce your work load at the office . +Could you tell me more about it ? +Of course . One of the real pluses of this product is that it is of very high quality , and of compact size . No one can match us so far as quality is concerned . +Can you introduce its price level to me ? +We have this item in three price level . +We need the best possible quality . +That means this one . +I see , that's what I will order . +Hi , Susan ! +Hi , Lily ! How is everything ? +Not so well . I've come down with the flu . +I ’ m sorry to hear that.Take care of yourself . +Thank you . +Tom , it's time for you to take a shower . +Mom , I don't want to bathe today . +Why ? You can't be always so lazy . +Mom , I'm tired . I feel sleepy . I want to go to bed right now . +Alright . But you promise this is the last time . +OK . I promise . Thank you , Mom . +What are you doing ? +I'm watching TV . +Are there any good programs on TV ? +Tingling is on TV . +Which Channel is it ? +Channel 8 . +It doesn't seem quite interesting .

I'll introduce you to him . +Thank you very much . +How often do you service the pump ? +We take very good care of this particular pump . It's a crucial part of our process . We clean it and flush it through at the end of every shift , We check the high pressure seals , recalibrate the gauges and lubricate all moving parts weekly . We replace the gaskets every month . +How do you decide how often these things need to be done ? +Well , from experience we can predict the lifespan of different components . We try to replace components before they fail or wear out . This prevents the equipment from breaking down . It also saves us a lot of trouble ! +Hello , Mr . Jones . We need to have a meeting to discuss our deal . +Shall I come to your office this afternoon ? +That would be great ! How about 2:30 ? +I beg your pardon for being late . +Better late than never . +So sorry , I don't mean to be . +That's perfectly all right . +Thanks for your forgiving . +It's really of nothing . +I'll work hard . +That's quite all right . +Have you ever worked as a tour guide ? +I have a little experience . I guided a few foreign tourists around Beijing last year as a part-time job . I showed them to the Great Wall , the Imperial Palace , and the Summer Palace . +Then you may know that it's hard work . +Yes , I know . A friend of mine is a guide . He talked with me about his work , but I don't mind working hard . +Have you applied with any other companies ? +No , this is my first . +Is there anything you want to ask about ? +I'd like to be an overseas tour guide someday . Would there ever be any chance of that ? +Certainly . There'll be a good chance of that if you work for this company . Not right away , of course , but in a few years , after you learn more about our business , you may go overseas with a tour group . Any questions ? +Yes . When can I get the decision ? I hope you can give me a definite answer as soon as possible . If I'd turned down , I ll have to secure a position elsewhere . +All right , then . We'll get in touch with you within a week . Thank you for coming today , Mr . Sun . +Thank you . Good-bye . +Good-bye . +I think these patterns are quite good . Can you give me a price indication of these ? +Of course , it's my pleasure .

What happened ? +Did you know there was a blackout last night ? +Yes , I heard the lights were out all night . +Well , some people decided to loot last night . +I don't understand . +They took advantage of the blackout . +They really started looting ? +Yes , apparently four stores were broken into . +Did the looters get caught ? +There was no evidence of who did it . +Hopefully we won't have any more blackouts . +How far is this address from here , please ? +Let me see . Go straight on , then take the first turning on the left . +So how long does it take ? +Twenty minutes ’ walk at most . +Hello ! +Hello , is Doris available ? +This is Doris .

The stock market is weird . You never know what will happen tomorrow . +Why do you buy stocks , then ? +It's a kind of investment . If I choose a good stock and hold it long enough , I can get good returns . +There ’ re traffic jams everywhere . +I think something must be done . +Yeah . We should have more roads built . +I agree with you . Only in this way can we ease the traffic problems . +I want a pair of enameled leather shoes in size 30 . +How about this one ? +The heel is a little tight . +It doesn't matter , sir . Shoes will stretch a bit with use . +Really ? I will take it . +Have you applied for you visa to go to study in the united states yet ? +Yes , I have . I handed in my application form two weeks ago and I ’ m going for an interview next week . +Good luck ! I ’ Ve heard it ’ s very difficult to get a visa to go to the united states . +The application form are quite complicated . It took me a few hours to fill it out . The hardest thing was getting all the necessary documents . That took almost two weeks . +What kind of documents did you need to present ? +I had to show document relating to my financial status and of course my education , because I want a student visa . +Why do you think so many people have their applications rejected ? +I think that they don ’ t complete the forms correctly or they don ’ t include all the required documents . The embassy is very strict about it . You have to be quite careful . +Why are they stricter with Chinese people than with other nationalities ? +That ’ s simple . Many people break the rules regarding their visa conditions . +hello . How was the marketing meeting ? +hi . It was awful . I think I put forward some great ideas , but none of them were accepted . +I ’ m surprised to hear that . I thought you had some very good suggestions . +so did i . I ran the ideas by a few people before the meeting and their ideas seemed to have the supports of some people . +so what happened in the meeting ? +one or two people didn ’ t take to my ideas very well . That was to be expected . The worst thing was that the people who said the idea were good before the meeting didn ’ t support me during the meeting . +I wonder why not . We could always revise the suggestions , to take into account any objections . +that ’ s good advice , but I ’ m not confident that even revised proposals will be accepted . +may I make a suggestion ? +sure . I ’ m open to any reasonable suggestions . +Is there a chance you could contact the client confidentially and see what they think ? If they like your ideas , perhaps they could put them forward as their own proposals . You won ’ t get credit for ide +I ’ m not sure that ’ s a good idea . +go on . Take a chance . You could just hint at your idea . The client should be smart enough to take a hint . +that was a great dinner . I didn't know that you knew how yo cook . +I'm glad you liked it . Are you ready for dessert ? +I don't know . I'm pretty full . What are we having ? +I made strawberry shortcake . +ooh , that's my favorite . Maybe I'll have a small slice . +Great . Would you like coffee or tea with that ? +I'll have a cup of tea . +do you take cream or sugar with your tea ? +actually , could I have some milk with that ? +definitely . Would you like skim or whole milk ? +skim , please . That'd be very nice . Thanks ... oh no . Janna , I'm so sorry , but I've got to go . +what happened ? +I just got a message from my sister saying that she's been in a car accident . I need to go pick her up . +I'll go with you . Where is she ? +she's on the M40 , near Reading . +is she alright ? +I don't know , she didn't say . I'm so sorry about this . +don't worry . Family comes first . Come on , let's go . +actually , I've only got a two-seater . I'll have to go on my own . +ok . Just call me if you need anything then . +I will . Thanks a lot . +Do you think chinese families have changed much in the last 50 years ? +I think families everywhere have changed a lot in the last 5 decades . +What do you think is the biggest change ? +Well , in the past , three or four generations would live together under the same roof . Nowadays , living in the same city as one's relatives is becoming rare . +That's true . You know , some husbands and wives don't even live in the same city any more . +Would you consider having your parents live with you when they get older ? +I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned . I'd rather have my parents live with me than live in a retirement room . +That's very respectable , but I could never live with my parents . I usually only see them at our christmas celebration — and that's enough ! +How about your other siblings ? Do they spend a lot of time with your parents ? +Two of my sisters still live at home , even though they have already graduated from university and have good jobs . They enjoy spending their free time with my parents . I guess in that respect , I'm the black sheep of the family . +I see . Do your parents ever ask you to come home to visit them more often ? +They're always asking me to come home , but I think our relationship is better if we keep a distance from each other . Whenever we see each other , all we do is fight . +Hello , is this the ABC Company ? +Yes.May I help you ? +We have just arrived from Tokyo and we've been looking for our reserved car of your company all over , but we cannot find it . +What is your reservation number ? +Our reservation number is J - 221 . +Let me see.Oh , yes.We have your reservation number . +You mean you haven't arranged any car . +I'm sorry to say " No . " +Here , I'll take a taxi instead.How do you refund us ? +How much is this shirt ? +80 yuan . +It's rather expensive , isn't it ? +It's a bit . But I can give you a discount . +How about 50 yuan ? +No . I'm afraid the price is too low . +Then let's split the difference and I'll give you 60 yuan , OK ? +I'm sorry , but I think you should give me no less than 65 yuan . +All right . +Hi , how can I help ? +I was told to come over to this window if I want to make a withdrawal . I'm not withdrawing from a Current Account , you see . I want to withdraw from my Certificate of Deposit . +Unfortunately , if you wish to withdraw on your C / D before the pre-decided date , you must give notice . +Oh , I see . Will I lose any money if I decide to withdraw on it now ? +Yes , you will lose interest . I see that you have a 5 - year C / D with us . I'm sorry to tell you that would mean losing 6 months of interest as a penalty for withdrawing before maturity . +Oh dear . Well , if it has to be done , then it has to be done . +Hello . Beijing Restaurant . How can I help you ? +Hi . I want to place an order , please . +For pick - up or delivery ? +Pick - up . +What would you like to order ? +I have a menu from your restaurant .

And one of my friends ' name is Jessie . +OK , please wait for a moment . +May I help you ? +I have a problem . +What ’ s your problem ? +I owe fees , but a bank statement never came in the mail about it . +I apologize for the inconvenience . +I have no idea about the fee , so my fees went up . +I understand your problem . +Will you be able to solve my problem ? +I ’ m going to cancel the fees you owe . +So , I don ’ t have to pay any of it ? +The initial fee still must be paid . +That ’ s fabulous . Thank you very much . +How do you want your eggs , Mary ? Cindy likes hers scrambled . +Sunny-side up , please . +The toaster is over there on the kitchen counter . Help yourself . +What kind of bread do we have ? +White and whole-wheat . +I think I'll have two slices of whole wheat . +Can you go wake up Cindy for me ? +Sure . +She's a late riser . +Dan More's Office , how may I help you ? +Is Dan in ? +May I tell him who's calling ? +Yes , this is Tom White . +Just a minute please , Mr . White . +Thank you . +What's for dinner tonight ? +It's whatever you're planning on cooking . +You're not going to cook ? +No , I always cook . +Yeah , and I love your cooking . +Don't give me that . If you're hungry , then cook dinner . +You're being serious ? +Look , I'm really tired tonight . I don't feel like cooking dinner . +Okay , I'll make dinner tonight . +Thank you . I'm going to bed . +Do you want me to wake you up when dinner is ready ? +Yes , please . +I can promise you that , if you buy our product , you will be getting quality . +I ’ Ve looked at your units , and I am very happy with them . Your goods are all far above standard quality . +We spend a lot of money to make sure that our quality is much better . We don ’ t sacrifice quality for quick profits . +Well , we ’ re really interested in placing an order under negotiation . We can start the negotiations as soon as you want . +That ’ s great . I ’ m glad we ’ ll be able to do business together . I ’ ll have some quotes ready for you by tomorrow morning . +Fine . Also , would you mind if I asked to see a surveyor ’ s report of your products ? I may have a few more questions about your quality analysis . +Excuse me . Would you tell me where The People's Park is ? +The People's Park is located on Nanjing Road , near Limbo road , just on the opposite side of the International Hotel . +How long will it take me to get there ? +Only about twenty minutes . +I'm not going in the wrong direction , am I ? +No , you aren't . Just go ahead , please . +May I take a bus to get there ? +You can take the No . 22 trolley bus to get there . +OK . Thank you a lot . +I wonder if you could help me find something for my daughter . +Do you think she'd like a laptop ? +I think that would be perfect . +A Mac is something most people appreciate . +In fact , she prefers Macs . How much is one ? +Our 15 - inch Pro will cost you only $ 2,100 . +She's going to be so happy . Let me have one . +You've made a good decision . How would you like to pay ? +I'll pay for it with my VISA . +It's all yours after you sign here , please . +Are there any extras that she needs ? +This is good to go . If she wants accessories , just visit us again . +You've been so helpful . Thank you . +Have a nice day , and thank you for shopping here . +Linda , it's really late . Let's call it a day . +Good idea . We can finish this project the first thing tomorrow morning . +Sure thing . Do you want me to give you a ride home ? +That ’ s great . Thanks for the ride . I really appreciate 1 it . You know my car is still in the shop . +Don't mention it . It ’ s my pleasure . +It's very nice of you . +That was really a nightmare ! +Honey , what's up ? +I was stuck between 15th and 16th floors in the elevator . +Oh , really ? I know that telephone signal must have been shielded in the elevator shaft , so what did you do then ? +I pressed the emergency button ! And then I stayed in the elevator waiting for the rescue . +Did you panic at the time ? +A little bit , but I know that the elevator isn't enclosed . at least I wouldn't be smothered there . +Was there anyone else with you ? +Of course , there are 6 other people in the elevator ; they were so scared that someone even started crying . +So you mean that you were the only brave one there ? +Yes . I have to call the property management . +For what ? Complaining about what happened in the elevator ? +Yes . They should check the elevator regularly . I have to give them something to remember about , and they should also equip fire extinguishers in the building . +That was just an accident . you are worried too much about it . I think the property management will check the elevator and improve their service from now on . +I know what you mean , but I'd better remind them again , and also remind them to repair the button in the elevator for the disabled people . That has brought the disabled people lots of inconvenience . +Dear , can you drive me to the clinic ? +I'm afraid I can't . +Why ? +Well , my car won't start . I don't know what's the matter with it . +Could it be the battery ? +No , I don't think it could be . I checked the battery two days ago . It must be other problems . +Well , I suppose it could be the gas . +No , there is plenty of gas . I filled it up yesterday . +Perhaps it's the starter then ? +Yes , that's possible . +There's a big problem with my room . I'm in 507 . +Would you tell me the nature of the problem , sir ? +I have cockroaches crawling in my room . +Perhaps you saw a silverfish , sir . +I've seen nine more cockroaches than I wanted to see . +Sir , you haven't been drinking by any chance , have you ? +How dare you question my statement ! +Forgive me . You're 100 percent correct . Allow me to transfer you to my supervisor . +Hello ! Are you shopping here today ? Haven't I seen you in some flea markets and thrift shops a couple of times ? +I'm just comparing prices . +You should ! This thrift shop is really cheap , though , you have to pay cash here . +But they don't let you have goods on approval . +Hello , Mr . Compton ? This is Susan Miller . +Hi , Susan . What can I do for you ? +I ’ d like to take tomorrow off if that ’ s all right with you . +Let me take a look . Just a second . That ’ s no problem , Susan . See you on Wednesday . +Listen , you can not afford another day off . You ’ Ve called in sick five times in the last three weeks . +I know , but I am really sick . +Well . I want a note from the doctor this one and to be honest , if it continues , we may not be able to have you here . +I understand , sir . I ’ ll bring a doctor ’ s note in tomorrow . I am sorry , Mr . Thomas +Hi . Can I help you , sir ? +Yes . I ’ m interested in a job your company posted on the Internet . +We posted several positions . Which position are you looking for ? +It is a position in your Maintenance Department . Is it available ? +Yes . Applications will be accepted for this position until next Friday . +I have no experience but I ’ m interested in it . +If you ’ re interested in this position , please send me your resume . +I don ’ t have my resume with me , but I will send you a copy immediately . Can I fill out the application form right now ? +Sure . +Thanks . +You ’ re welcome . +Hello , I need to get a cab . +There is about a 15 - minute wait . +That's fine . +OK . Give me your address . +Hi , Bob . I heard that you had passed your driving test . Is it true ? +Yes . A few days ago I have no right to get a driving licence . But now I get it . +Is the driving test difficult ? +Yes , it can be quite tough . Many people fail to pass the test at the first time . +What does the driving test require ? +You should enroll in driving school and then take a road test and a written test . After you pass both tests , you'll get your licence . +Oh , I see . I need more practice before I take the driving test . +Don't worry about your driving test . I think you will pass the test and get the driver's licence very soon . +Hopeful ! Thank you . +Guess what ! I know something you don't know ! +What's that ? +How many planets are there in the solar system ? +That's easy . Everyone knows that there are nice . +Not anymore ! Can you believe it ? They've decided that Pluto is not a planet anymore ! +Nice try . I wasn't born yesterday , you know . +I'm dead serious . They've decided that it's too small to be a planet , but actually they haven't yet agreed on how big something has to be in order to be a planet anymore . +That sounds crazy . They can't just change their mind about things like that . +Yes , they can . If you remember correctly , people used to believe that the world was flat . +I suppose you're right . They also used to think that they were so important that the sun revolved around them , not the other way around . +We actually know relatively little about space and the cosmos . +Do you think that we'll one day be able to travel to another planet for a vacation ? +I suppose we could actually live on a planet outside of the milky way . +Do you think we'll ever get to meet an alien from outer space ? +I hope not . I think they would be a threat to those of us that lived on Earth . +You're so old-fashioned . That's what people used to think about people from another country ! +Point taken . Hopefully one day , we'll live in an interplanetary society . +I'm planning on going to the market soon . +What are you buying ? +I don't know what we need . +I can check for you , if you'd like . +I'll make a list . +First , we need eggs , milk , and bread . +Okay , do we need any meat ? +How about some chicken , ground beef , and some steak ? +What else do we need ? +Get some snack foods . +What's the problem ? +There was a stop sign back there that you didn't stop for . +I really didn't see it . +How'd you miss it ? +I only saw bushes at the intersection . +Those bushes are covering the stop sign . +I really didn't mean to run it . +I see why you didn't stop . +Are you still going to write me a ticket ? +No , I'm just going to let you go . +Thanks for being so understanding . +That's all right .

Would you be okay with that ? +Well , I guess so . +Did you need help ? +Where do I go to pick up my ballot ? +I ’ ll help you with that . +How ’ s that ? +I ’ m working here today . +That ’ s wonderful .

You don't have many formal events in your calendar , do you ? +Come on , you sound like my Mom.Look at it , it's beautiful ! +When you buy clothes , you must think about the material , quality and price . +Maybe you have a point . +Make sure you buy what you need and your clothes can be worn for various occasions . +All right .

We should work on that with him . +So confusing ! In my day we got an A or B if we were doing well and if we failed an exam we would get an F ! +Good morning.So this is the first day for you to work here , I hope you'll like your job . +Good morning , Ms.Wilson .

Can we meet tomorrow night for drinks at the pub ? +No , I ' m sorry . I'm going to meet some friends tomorrow evening . And I ' m too tired now . I have to go to sleep . Goodbye . +But Anne ... +How do you dispose of the waste in your factory ? +We try to recycle as much as we can . +What about the rest ? How do you get rid of it ? +We have to send it to landfill . It's very expensive because the government recently introduced a landfill tax so we're planning to build a new incineration plant next year to burn our waste . +But doesn't incineration produce carbon monoxide ? +Yes , you're right , it does . But we believe it's less harmful to the environment than landfill +Good afternoon . Is this the Roley Hotel ? +Yes , madam . May I help you ? +Yes .

I eat them almost every day . +have you tried traditional Chinese dumplings yet ? +I tried once , but they are quite difficult to eat with chopsticks . +you know , foreigners are not expected to use chopsticks proficiently . If you do , you'll give your Chinese friends quite an impression . +that's good to know . I'd like to try more Chinese food , but since I can't read any of the menus in the restaurants near my home , it's difficult to try new food . +if you want , I can introduce you to some typical Chinese dishes . +that would be great . I really only want to taste real Chinese food , not just the food that foreigners like to eat ! +if you haven't tried Beijing duck yet , I'd like to treat you to a meal at a famous duck restaurant near Qianmen . It would be a pity if you left without tasting it ! +I heard you want to apply for the position as a foreign bank staff member , is it true ? +Yes , it's true . +What about the foreign bank ? +It's a branch of the Bank of America in Beijing . +What are the requirements ? +The applicant must be alert and quick at figures , and like meeting the public . +Would you be using English every day in this job ? +Yes .

You look great . +Thanks for noticing . +What type of diet were you on ? +I joined a health club and my trainer gave me tips on eating . With a combination of eating better and exercising , I managed to lose 15 pounds in 2 months . +That's amazing . What tips did your trainer give you ? +Mostly on how to exercise , but the best advice I got was changing my eating habits . Instead of eating 3 times a day , she told me to eat 5 times a day . +That doesn't make sense . If you eat more , than how do you lose weight ? +Actually , I'm eating the same amount . I eat 5 smaller meals a day . Basically , it naturally speeds up the metabolism and helps to burn fat at a faster rate . +That makes sense . I'm going to try that . +You don't need to lose weight . +I have a little gut I have been trying to get rid of . +Ah ... but remember to incorporate a little exercise into your diet . +Thanks for the advice . +No problem . +Well it ’ s my first night in Beijing . What should I eat ? +Well you have to try Peking duck . +Mm , I don ’ t really like duck to be honest with you . I fancy something light . +Ok , you could try the Peking wonton then . +That sounds like a good idea . Where should I go to eat that ? +Actually , I know a great restaurant in Dongcheng . +Ok then , I ’ ll follow you . +Hello ! This is Air China Booking Office . +Hello ! I'd like to reconfirm my flight reservation . +May I know your flight number , please ? +It's flight CA169 , which leaves Beijing at 8: 00 a . m . on January 20th . +Oh , yes . That's our regular flight to Nanchang . Would you please tell me your name ? +My name is Deng Li . +Yes , here you are . You're flying in economy class . Is that right ? +Oh , no . I'm sure I made a reservation for a first-class ticket . +Let me check . Now , your ticket is in order . Thank you for calling to reconfirm . +That's what I should do . And I don't want to lose it . +Quite right . If you don't confirm , the reservation will be cancelled 72 hours before the departure time . In order not to miss your flight , I think you should pick up your ticket as early as possible . +OK ! I shall . +Good morning , is there anything I can do for you ? +Can you enlarge the picture ? +Yes , what size do you want ? +I want it enlarged to 5 inches . +No problem . Come and get your picture on Friday . +Hey ! Taxi . +Where are you heading , sir ? +Capital Airport . +What's your flight time ? +At 7:50 . +I guess we should get there no later than 7:00 . +How long is the ride from here then ? +Well , since it's rush hour , I'd say the ride would take about thirty minutes , more or less.Is that okay ? +Yes , that'll be fine . How much is this going to cost ? +Okay , now I ’ d like to find out more about your last job . I see you spent almost four years at the London Weekly , is that right ? +Yes , that ’ s right . To be honest , the first year was quite tough for me . I was really just treated more like an intern . I didn ’ t have many responsibilities and I found it quite frustrating . +So , what changed ? +Well slowly but surely I proved myself , and the new editor liked me so he promoted me to features writer . +Wow , a real step up ! +Yes , I was responsible for restaurant and food reviews mostly . I spent restaurant years in that position , but to be honest it wasn ’ t an area of journalism I wanted to stay in long-term . +I see , so why did you decide to leave finally ? +I just felt that the paper couldn ’ t offer me any new opportunities . I really needed a more challenging role to be honest . +Mom , look ! My first piggy bank and it still has money in it ! +That is a blast from the past . +Remember when I used to beg you to break it so I could go buy ice cream ? +Yes . You sure have come a long way in valuing your hard earned dollars . +Thanks for not giving in to my childhood tantrums , mom . +But what are you going to do with that pig ? +I think I'm going to keep it as a monument to what I've learned about money . +Who knows , maybe one day he will sit on the desk of a top CEO in a major corporation ! +I ’ m hungry , let ’ s grab a bite to eat . +Sure ! How about we go home and prepare a couple of sandwiches ? +Nah ! Let ’ s go get a burger and fries . +All you ever do is have unhealthy fast food Pizza , fries , burgers and hot dogs ! You have to start eating better ! +What are you talking about ? I have salads some times . +Yeah right ! I ’ m serious ! You should also cut down on your sugar intake as well . You drink carbonated drinks that are high in fructose syrup ! It ’ s really not healthy ! +Fine ! I ’ ll start drinking and having home cooked meals that are low in fat . Are you happy now ? +It ’ s a start , but I ’ ll be happy when I see you stick to your promise ! +What can I do for you , madam ? +I'd like to buy a toy car for my son . +How about this one ? +It looks nice . How much is it ? +They're three hundred dollars . +Oh , I'm afraid it's too expensive . Can you show me something cheaper ? +OK , This one is one hundred and twenty . It's the cheapest here . +OK , I'll take it . Here's the money . +Thank you very much . +Good evening , sir . +Good evening . I'll have a Scotch . +Yes , sir . Straight or on the rocks ? +On the rocks , please . +Good morning , Janice . Our office will hold a welcoming party in the evening , so I will allocate you some assignment . +Is that difficult ? +Don't worry . I will find someone to assist you . +That's all right . What can I do ? +Firstly , you should go to the supermarket , which is nearest to our company , to buy some fruit , drinks , desserts and cakes . Here is the list of things you need to buy . +Well . I can do it . And then ? +The meeting room on the Fourth Floor needs to be swept . Jerry and Tom will help you at that time . Any questions ? +Who will pay for these things ? +Don't worry about that . I have already calculated the money about things you will buy . Remember to give me the receipt when you come back . +OK . I will go in no time . +I'd like to apply for a personal loan . +How much would you like to borrow ? +A thousand dollars . +Let me check with our credit manager . ( later ) Our record shows that your credit rating is quite high . I don't think you'll have any problems . +What's the current interest rate ? +Our monthly interest is 1.5 % of the outstanding balance . Would you please fill out this application form ? +Congratulations on the new house ! +Thanks ! We love it . +Well , you guys work hard for it . It ’ s really beautiful . +I ’ m just not looking forward to cleaning it ! +I think I found my Yankee's mug ... +Oh , great . Where was it ? +It fell out of the garbage bag . +What was it doing there ? +It was with all the other dishes from dinner . +You mean Johnny threw out all the dinnerware ? +I think our son was trying to pull a fast one on us . +I ’ ll show you around and explain the operation as we go along . +That ’ ll be most helpful . +That is our office block . We have all the administrative depart - ments there . Down there is the research and development section . +How much do you spend on development every year ? +About 3-4 % of the gross sales . +What ’ s that building opposite us ? +That ’ s the warehouse . We keep a stock of the faster moving items so that urgent orders can be met quickly from stock . +If I placed an order now , how long would it be before I got delivery ? +It would largely depend on the size of the order and the items you want . +Could you recommend something to drink ? +Well , since you have order the roast chicken . I suggest you to order the red wine to go with the main course . It can help you digest the food . +We would also like some alcohol before the main dish . +I think whiskey will be a good choice . +Do you have some questions ? +Yes , I really want to know about the housing system in your company . +If you join us , our company will provide you a single dormitory . If you make great achievements , our company will offer you a flat according to the related regulations . It all depends . +I also want to know if there's a holiday at your company , for I must visit my parents every year . +Besides the official holidays , our company offers a ten days paid holiday every year , which makes it possible for you to visit your parents . Any other questions ? +No , thanks . +You say he was around average hight . +Yes , that's right , around five nine five ten . +Weight ? +I'm not sure . Medium , I suppose . Maybe a little on the heavy side . +Any marks on his face ? +No , I don't think so . +Glasses ? +No . +what about his hair ? +Black or dark brown . +Long or short ? Straight ? Curly ? +Straight , I think , and about average length . +Boy , this surely doesn't help us much . It could be anybody . How about his cloth ? What was he wearing . +Well , he had a jacked or a plage shirt . You know the kind of number jack wear . +Ok , now we are getting some where . Pants ? +Dark , maybe dark blue maybe black . I'm not sure . +What kind of shoes ? +Boots +Cow while Boots . +No , hiking boots . Brown ones . +All right . That Nealy done a little . +Now I want you to look some pictures . +Come in , please . +Good morning , Mrs Smith . +Good morning . You are Mr . Sun , aren't you ? Take a seat , please . +Yes , thank you . +I've noticed from your resume that you majored in accounting at Peking University . Will you please tell me something about your related courses ? +In the first academic year we learned Principles of Accounting , and in the following years we learned Cost Accounting , Commercial Accounting , Industrial Accounting , and Management Accounting . +Have you taken Accounting for Decision-Making and Control ? +No , we haven't taken such a course , but we have taken a more specialized course for decision making , by the name of Forecasting and Decision-Making . +From your school report card , I can see you did well in every course . But our advertisement says we need an accountant with practical work experience . +I forgot to include my experience as an accountant in my resume . In fact , I took a part-time job as an accountant at the Atlantic Trading Company during my second and third school year . I worked three evenings a week there and I did quite well . Here is the recommendation . +You can speak English fluently but I wonder if you can deal with bookkeeping and accounting in English . +No problem . The professional English course is just English for Accounting . Moreover , as you know , the Atlantic Trading Company is a Sino-Australian joint venture . When I served part-time there , I became well acquainted with accounting operated in English . +That sounds fine . Why did you choose to apply to our company ? +I have a relative working as a manager in your manufacturing department . Her name is Lilling . She told me a lot about your company and I became quite interested . I believe I can have a promising career with the development of this company . +Do you know something about the payment we give to our employees ? +No , can you tell me about it ? +Of course . As for an entry-level accountant , we pay ¥ 1,500 a month in the first half year . We have a grading system to evaluate your work . If you have made progress , we will certainly raise your salary . For beginners with a CPA certificate , they can earn at least ¥ 2 , 000 a month . +I have passed the five courses required by the Chinese CPA Association , but the certificate won't come to hand until next month . How about that ? +I hope you can show me your CPA certificate before we reach a decision by the end of July . +Thank you , Mrs Smith . It is really a pleasure talking with you . +The same for me . We'll keep in touch with you . +Thank you . Good-bye . +What would you like to eat ? +I'd like to eat a bowl of dumplings . +Would you care for some soup ? +Yes . But I prefer a bit salty soup . +Do you like egg soup or mutton soup ? +Egg soup is OK . +Is there anything else ? +I'd like a bottle of juice . +I'll get them back right away . +My goodness ! My silk dress is shrunk . How did you wash it ? +It was washed by washing machine . +It should be handwashed with cold water . It's a common sense . Don't you know it ? +I'm so sorry . I have no idea of it . I washed silk dress the first time . I'll buy a new one for you or I'll give you money . +That's all right . Please ask me if you don't know how to do something next time . You can keep the silk dress if you don't mind . I think it fits you . +It's very nice of you . I'll try my best to do my job well . +When do you go to bed usually ? +I go to bed at ten and get up at six . +That's helpful for your health . +Sure . +You are from Japan , aren't you ? +Oh , yes ! +I love Japan a lot . +I am glad to hear that . +Let's go to another place where my friend is working , let me pay here . +Thank you , I ’ ll pay next then . +Oh , I must be going now ; it was nice talking with you . +Check , please . +500 US dollars . +No kidding ! We have only 5 bottles of beer . +You had champagne for the girl . +Have you watched today's news ? +No , I haven't . What's going on ? +Did you hear about last night's blackout ? +Yes . The lights were out all night . +Some people went looting because of the blackout . +What do you mean ? +People decided to use the blackout to their advantage . +People went out and looted ? +I guess they broke into about four stores . +Did the police find who did it ? +There's no evidence of who it was . +I hope we don't have any more blackouts . +Would you please bring me the black suit ? I want to try it on . +Here you are . +I think this suit fits perfectly . +Yes , I think so . The suit matches the trousers . +It's fine . Please wrap it . +Excuse me . +Yes ? +Could I have one more blanket ? +I'm afraid there aren't any left at the moment . Gan you wait just a little while ? +OK . I will . +I'll bring you one as soon as I find one available . +Would you , please ? Thank you . +I think I've looked everywhere , but I haven't seen a swimming pool here . +This hotel has no full-size pool , but we do have swim stations in our gym . +Swim stations ? Whoever heard of such a thing ? +You swim in a swim station just like you run on a treadmill . +All that exercise in a little pool ! Do I have to pay anything ? +The swim stations are available to all guests for no charge . +Very good . Now can you tell me the hours of operation ? +They're available anytime between 7 a . m . and 10 p . m . , seven days a week . +Wow ! I can't wait to change into my trunks ! +The swim stations are very popular , sir . I hope you don't find a line down there . +Thank you . You do me a big favor . +That was a cake walk.It ’ s nothing to speak of . +Can you tell me what's the time in London ? +It should be 3 +Yes . I have to take a conference . Are you English ? +That's right . Welcome to Great Britain . +Do you know what time it is ? +Um . Ten ? +Get in this door young man . It ’ s midnight , you are two hours past curfew . +I know , but it wasn ’ t my fault ! I told Jennifer she had to drop me off before ten , but she wouldn ’ t leave the party ! +I don ’ t care ! You are grounded for life , mister ! +Mom ! That is so unfair ! +You know the rules and you broke them . No allowance and no TV for a week . I usually never ground you but this time I have to put my foot down ! +What ! For being a couple of hours late ? You have to be kidding ! +I don ’ t want to hear it ! Now go to your room ! +See how many people are here ! +Yeah ! Do all these people work in the company ? Everyone and their dog is here ! +Other than the employees , our boss Jack invited some friends of the company . +Can we just sit wherever we want ? +Of course not ! We have to sit at our assigned seats . I think our table is over there in the back . +Hmm . We don't exactly have the best seats in the house , do we ? +Look who you get to sit next to--Tim from purchasing ! +Www ! That weirdo ? ! He really gives me the creeps ! +Don't worry . I'm also sitting next to you . +I just hope he doesn't start bragging again ! +I can't wait until we get our year-end bonus ! +Me , either ! Who decides how much money we get ? +You got our email with all the specifications for the project . We'll be accepting bids untill noon on Tuesday . If you have any questions between now and then , please let me know . +Actually , I did have a question . We'd like to know what you had in mind for the budget on this project . We are hoping to put together a really competitive bid . But at the same time , we'd like to hit your target price , too . +I understand . But unfortunately , it is our policy not to disclose our bottom line . You can be assured that price is a weighty consideration when we review the proposals . We also consider other elements , including design and practicality . We also give weight to the reputation of the submitting company . +Do you have any price range ? Is there any way you can give me any idea of what direction to go or how high is too high ? +We're just looking for a reasonable price according to the specifications in our project blueprint . That's all I can say . +So , Monica , how do you like your new office ? +Well , I love it . The room is special and clean with big windows and a lot of sunshine . There are plants along the corridor . Especially , I got my own desk with computer and telephone . Such a great place ! +That ’ s very good . I once turn down a job offer just because the office is awful . +What was so bad about it ? +Small rooms , small window , a small desk shared by three people . I would have been interrupted all the time and for sure not be able to deliver good work . +Sounds bad ! Lucky you ! You didn ’ t take that job . I think a good office environment is also important to work efficiently . +Totally agree . By the way , the number of the telephone on your desk is extension 506 . You can pick up your office supplies from the supply room at the end of the corridor . +John , do you have a minute ? +Oh , hi , Leo . Sure , what ’ s up ? +Well , I ’ Ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office . +But I ’ m not in there very often . It ’ s so noisy that I can ’ t work . +That ’ s exactly what I ’ m getting at . We ’ re supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office , but have you noticed ? Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course . A lot people are going in and out . +Has anybody spoken to him about it ? +No , not yet , but someone ’ s going to have to . +We really can ’ t ask him to stop having students come in for help , can we ? +No , of course not . But I ’ m not able to do my work and neither are you . +How about recommending him to use the storage room down the hall ? +Oh , that would be too small . +With the cabinets taken out , it might be bigger than it looks . +Come to think of it , you may be on to something . Let ’ s go have a look . +Let's rock n ' roll . +Ok , let ’ s go through this one more time . I don ’ t want anymore ruined or dyed blouses ! +I know , I know . OK , so I have to separate the colors from the whites and put them in this strange looking contraption so called washing machine . +Right . You have to turn it on and program it depending on what type of clothes you are washing . For example for delicates , you should set a shorter washing cycle . Also , be sure to use fabric softener and this detergent when washing . +So complicated ! Ok , what about this red wine stain ? How do I get it out ? +Since this is a white t-shirt , you can just pour a little bit of bleach on it and it will do the trick . +Cool . Then I can just throw everything in the dryer for an hour and it ’ s all set right ? +No ! Since you are washing delicates and cotton , you should set the dryer to medium heat and for twenty minutes . +You know what ? I ’ ll just have everything dry cleaned . +Why am I being arrested ? +You have a warrant out for your arrest . +I don't have a warrant . +My computer shows that you have a bench warrant . +I don't know what a bench warrant is . +You apparently missed a court appearance . +I was never told to go to court . +There's nothing I can do about that . +This isn't fair . +That's life . +What about my rights ? +Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . +Alright , tell me what you think about this one . +Don't you think it's a bit bright ? +Yeah , maybe you're right . How about this outfit ? +That dress looks lovely on you , but it's not very practical , is it ? +No , I don't have any plans to go to a formal dance any time soon , but I love the way it looks . I just want to try it on ! What do you think about this ? It's casual , yet sophisticated . +I like the jeans , but you need something to go with the top . It's too plain on its own . +How about this scarf , these earrings , and an anklet ? +That might be going overboard a bit . How about just that scarf with a bracelet ? +That's a good idea . You have a lot of good fashion sense . +Thanks . You'd be OK on your own . There are loads of fashion victims out there , and you are not one of them . Have you tried it on yet ? +Yep . Here it is . What do you think ? +That looks great . Just one more thing-you need some high heels with those jeans . Do you want a pair with a plain pattern or ones with a leopard print on them ? +The leopard print sounds fabulous . OK , I'll take it . +Who is Cindy ’ s husband ? +Cindy ’ s husband is Ron . +How many children do Cindy and Ron have ? +They have two children-one son and one daughter-as well as one daughter-in-law and one son-in-law . +Do they have any grandchildren ? +Yes , they have three grandchildren-one girl and two boys . +Does their daughter get along well with her in-laws ? +Yes , she gets along with them quite well . +Do they have a large family ? +Their family is very similar to Cindy and Ron ’ s family . +What do you think are the qualities a nurse should have ? +They are responsibility , skill , patience , quietness , and so on . +What kind of medicines does the doctor usually prescribe to children who get high fever ? +Aspirin . +I ’ d like to check in please . +Certainly . Can I have the name please ? +Mr Harold Smith . +Ok , Are you checking out tomorrow ? +Yes , I am . That ’ s right . +Will you need a wake up call , sir ? +Yes please . At 6.30 am . +Ok then , your room is 502 on the fifth floor . Breakfast is served between 6.30 am and 9am . Enjoy your stay . +Thank you . +Hello , is John in ? +No , he's not . May I take a message ? +Yes , would you leave him a message to call me ? +Yes , what's your name ? +What can I do for you today ? +It's a little embarrassing really ; you see I think I've got a counterfeit note . +Do you remember where you got it ? +No , I don't . Usually I'm very careful about checking the money I'm given , but for some reason this one slipped through . +Counterfeit notes these days can be very sophisticated and difficult to spot with the naked eye . But I must warn you that if it does show to be a counterfeit I have no option but to confiscate it . +I understand . To be honest , I'll be glad to get rid of it if it is a fake . +The machine shows it to be counterfeit . You'll need to fill in this form and I'll give you a receipt to show the money has been confiscated . +I want to lose some weight ! +So do I ! +I have a yoga class tomorrow . Do you want to come with me ? +No , it's too expensive for me . I've decided to take some exercises on my own . +What are you going to do ? +Run around the track . In the morning I run for an hour , and in the afternoon I run around the building . +Good , I am sure it will work if you can persist . +I hope so . Would you like to join me ? +Sounds good ! +Yesterday I read hamlet.such a fantastic book ! +You said it.No one can match Shakespeare in artistic talent . +I do agree with you . +So what brings you to my office today ? +My tooth is killing me ! +How long has your tooth been bothering you ? +It just started hurting me last night . +Have you injured your tooth in any way ? +I think one of my fillings might be coming loose . +Do you have a special kind of toothbrush that you like to use ? +I have an electric toothbrush . +Does it bother you when you eat something really sweet ? +Oh yeah , when I do that , it hurts a lot more ! +so , tell me about your new house . How is it different to your old one ? +well , first of all , it ’ s much bigger . It has the same number of rooms , but each room is larger . We also have a larger garden , which our dog loves , of course ! +so , it ’ s a three-bedrooms detached house ? +yes . One bedroom is for my wife and i . there ’ s another for our daughter . My wife wants to use the third one as a guest room , but I ’ d like to make it into a study . Our daughter is also keen on +what ’ s the kitchen like ? I know both you and your wife like to cook . +that ’ s one of the main reason we chose that particular house . The kitchen and dining room are together . It ’ s really large . +are the rooms nice and bright ? +yes , they are . That ’ s very important to us . We like to live in a home with plenty of natural light . Each room has large windows . +do you have a balcony ? +no , we don ’ t . we wish we had one . That ’ s the only thing we wanted , but don ’ t have . The area is very nice and the neighbours seem friendly . +you ’ re right on the edge of the city , aren ’ t you ? There can ’ t be much noise or traffic there . Is it easy to get into city centre ? +it ’ s a very quiet neighbourhood . There ’ s some traffic , but not much . It ’ s not very difficult to get to the city centre , but you must remember to turn left and right at the right places or yo +We were decorating and I ’ m going to ask some things . +Well , I ’ ll be glad to help you out . We can deliver what you need to your office . +Shall we need at one fifteen this Thursday ? +We definitely need some new filing cabinets and at least one desk unit . +Fine , I ’ ll bring both our office furniture and equipment catalogs on Thursday . +I can't seem to find the cereal aisle . +You'll find the cereal by the breakfast foods . +What breakfast foods ? +They're over by the oatmeal and the breakfast bars . +Oh , I think I know what you're talking about . +Can I help you with anything else ? +Could you tell me where the dishwashing detergent is ? +You'll find that by the paper towels . +Oh , I didn't think of that . +That's where it'll be . +Well , thank you very much . +If you need anything else , please feel free to ask me +Excuse me , Mr . Li . I have something to discuss with you . +I'm in a bit of a hurry , Miss Liu . Can you wait for a minute ? +I would really appreciate it if we could talk for a few minutes now . It's about the overtime you've asked me to put in . +All right . What's the problem ? +I really can't work overtime . Because my husband has been ill recently , I must take care of him . +I'm sorry to hear that . Take good care of your husband . I'll find another one to replace you . +Waiter , can I have the bill please ? +Wait a moment . It's $ 30 . +We'd prefer separate checks . +OK , one with the apple pie pays $ 18 and the other $ 12 . +The dinner is really rich . +Which dish do you like most ? +I like the soy sauce chicken . +Actually , it's the dish recommended by this restaurant specially . +Hi , I Want a room , please . +Good afternoon , sir . Welcome to our hotel.What kind of room would you like , sir ? +A double room for my wife and me , please . +Did you take the written test ? +I haven't taken it yet . +Make sure to study first . +I study every night . +I'm sure you're ready . +Does it cost money ? +No , it doesn't cost anything . +Does the test cover everything in the manual ? +It skips around . +Did you pass the test your first try ? +I thought it would be easy , but I didn't pass it . +Wish me luck . +Good evening ! This is Mr . Smith in room 609 . +Good evening , Mr . Smith , What can I do for you ? +I'm going to Shanghai early tomorrow morning . So I would like to request an early morning call . +Yes , Mr . Smith , when would you like us to call you tomorrow morning ? +I have to be at the conference room of the Garden Hotel in Shanghai by 10 o'clock . I think it will take me three hours to get there . It means that I'll have to be on the road before 7 o'clock at the latest . +That's right . +Well , in that case , I would like you to wake me up at 5:45 . +OK . Good night , Mr . Smith , Have a good sleep . +Good night . +John ? Can you come over here for a second ? +Certainly , Mr . Emory . What can I do for you ? +I need you to take a look at these samples . I think there are a few problems . +Sure . Let me look over them and I ’ ll bring them back this afternoon . +What's the matter with me , Doctor ? I feel so tired these days . +It's your blood pressure , I'm afraid . It's far too high . +And what's the cause of that ? +Overwork-amongst other things . You can't work 24 hours a day . You ' Ve got to slow down . +But I can't just slow down . +You've got to , I'm afraid . And look at this . You weigh 200 stones . That's too much for a man of your size . +You mean I've got to lose weight ? +Yes . You've got to cut down on bread and potatoes and take more exercise . +Would you like me to type it for you ? +Yes , please . That would be a great help . Are you sure you don ’ t mind ? +Not at all . I ’ ll be glad to do it . +Thank you very much . +Shall I write out again first ? +No , there ’ s no need . +Can I print it ? +No , don ’ t bother .

Tilt your head to the right , please . +How much is it ? +Exactly five dollars . +Here you are . Thank you and goodbye . +You are welcome , sir . Good-bye . +Well , I'm glad I had a chance to see these samples , but I'm really not in a position to make a decision right now . +Would you like me to leave the samples with you ? +Yeah , why don't you do that , and then you can give me a call sometime next week . +Fine , Mr .

They're going to dinner . +Dad and Mom ? +Yep . They said they're reviving an old tradition . +You mean this is going to be a regular thing ? +That's right , once a week . Do you want to order a Pizza ? +Has anyone told you about Jessica's party coming up ? +I was told about it already . I'm just waiting for my invitation . +Is that right ? I already got my invitation from her earlier . +I believe that she will give me the invitation today . +Are you even going to go ? +Yeah , it sounds like it's going to be the best party of the year . +Exactly , it seems like it's going to be loads of fun . +When exactly does the party start ? +The invitation says it starts at 8 +Has she given out a lot of invitations yet ? +I have no idea , she hasn't given out many though . +I'm planning on going , but I really need her to give me my invitation . +have you seen bill recently ? +yes . He ’ s in hospital with a bad back . One morning , he just couldn ’ t get out of bed.His wife called an ambulance and they took him to hospital .

Put our bags in the deposit box . +We got a problem . The deposit boxes are all full . We should have come earlier . +I told you to hurry up a thousand times .

But I'm not sure how long I should save for . +Well , we offer 5 grades as standard +Mmmm ... 2 years does seem like a long time . How about the interest if I save for 6 months ? +For 6 months we can offer you 0.59 % . +That sounds fine to me . Yes , I think 6 months is the way to go . +How are we going to get there ? +Let's take a cab . +Hello ? This is Steven . I'd like to speak to Mr . Brown , please . +I'm afraid he is not in at the moment . +Then what time do you think he will be in ? +I suppose he won't come back until 6 p . m . By the way , do you want to call later , or would you like to leave a message ? +I'd like to leave a message . Please ask him to give me a call as soon as he returns .

We have five different kinds of facials . +Which would you recommend ? +Well , since it's summer and it looks like you've had quite a bit of sun , I'd recommend our summer special . It's especially suited for individuals with sensitive skin . +What does it include ? +The facial will start with a thorough cleansing . +Does it include a facial mask and a massage ? +Yes . The stimulation mask promotes blood flow and will firm up the skin . You can also choose to either get a hand or back massage as well . +Will you exfoliate the skin as well ? +Yes .

She was mainly agriculture and rather a backward country and mow has developed into a modern highly industrialized state with an expanding economy . Parallel to this , her dependence upon foreign trade has increased . Increased output generates a greater need for raw materials , semi-finished products and capital goods . Thus . in many fields , our country is an important and growing market for exporters from other countries . But this doesn't mean that our country is an easy market , because of a liberal import policy and the high standard in our market is keen . +Well , what about price ? +The price factor can be a useful instrument for exporters when trying to place their products in industrialized countries . Of course , marketing goods abroad is not only a question of price . There are also other important factors such as design , quality of goods , terms of sale , transport and insurance . +Good afternoon , madam . How can I help you ? +Well , I am a little bit out of shape . I think I should get some exercise to keep fit . what kind of service do you offer ? +First of all , we'll tailor a work-out plan according to your physical conditions and your personal needs . +How can you get that done ? +Well , we give each of our customers a qualified personal trainer . The trainer will give you a fitness assessment and then come up with the work-out plan . +What else ? +Since everyone is different , your personal trainer will help you find out all the exercise equipments that are suitable for you fitness level . Then you'll be taught all the necessary techniques to use these equipments and achieve your goal . +Sounds pretty good . How much do you charge ? +That depends . We offer membership for one month , half a year and one year . +Perhaps one month . I'll just have a try at first . +Wise decision . that is 400 yuan . You'll find it's totally worth it . +OK , I'll take it . +Watch out ! You're too close to the fire place . +Don't worry , but my clothes are made of leathers . +Really ? That's wonderful ! +Thank you for your warning . +Not at all . +Be careful of yourself . +Excuse me . Is flight KL638 late ? +Yes , I think so.Flight KL638 is still at the airport due to the hurricane . +Oh , my god . If this flight is late . I will for Sydney.What can I do now ? +Well if so.you should contact with the office over there.Maybe they will do you some help . +OK.thank you . +Can I help you find something ? +I would like to buy a new fridge . +Is there one in particular that you like ? +I was looking at this Kenmore refrigerator . +Ah yes , that is a great refrigerator . +What's so great about it ? +It's both affordable and it comes with all the appliances . +What appliances ? +It comes with an ice maker , water dispenser , and there is a lot of room inside . +May I see the inside for myself ? +Be my guest . +Wow ! You're right ! This refrigerator is great . I'll take it . +You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe . When is it that you are leaving ? +In just three weeks , and I am excited . But there are still a few things I need to do before I go . +Like what ? +Like renewing my passport , going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I ’ m gone . +You are not going to give it up , are you ? +No way . I ’ ll never find another apartment around here . But I don ’ t like the idea of paying three months ’ rent on an empty apartment , either . +I don ’ t blame you . Perhaps you could sublet it . +Yes , but whom to ? +Mmm ... let me think . Oh , I know just a person . An old colleague of mine , Jim Thomas , is coming here to do some research this summer , from June to August . +That ’ s exactly when I ’ ll be away . It sounds ideal , as long as the landlord agrees . +Tell you what , I ’ ll be calling Jim late this week anyway , so I ’ ll mention it to him then . +Well , thanks , Bill . Let me know what happens . That extra money will really come in handy . +I like chess better than xiangqi . And you ? +For my part , xiangqi . Maybe it's because my girlfriend is Chinese . +I think chess is more reasonable . You see , each side has eight pawns , a larger number than that of the soldiers in xiangqi . A true battle should be like that . Soldiers should outnumber the commanders . +Quite right . And unlike the soldiers in xiangqi , the pawns in chess can promote once they reach the furthest rank . It is very agreeable to grant merits to people with good performance . +Correct ! Another contrast is the rules for the general and the king . It seems the general or marshal in xiangqi is much too incompetent . They are required to stay in the palace , waiting to be checked and fleeing for life under the cover of the guards . Look at the king in chess , he is much more capable . +Yeah , and though the king in chess doesn't have bodyguards , he has a queen who is the most powerful piece . I think this demonstrates the relatively higher social status of aristocratic women in medieval Europe than in China . +There's another distinctive contrast . Both board games use a total of 32 pieces , but xiangqi is played on a 9 - by - 9 board , bigger than the 8 - by - 8 board used in chess . +You mean , xiangqi pieces are allowed a larger space in which to move around ? +Sure . On a chessboard , fire is much more intensive . It has a smaller board , while those bigger pieces-chariots , horses and bishops-can cover longer distances . +Well , what about this two-bedroom apartment ? The listing says it's right in the heart of the city , just steps from the metro . +Wow , that would be very convenient . How much is the rent ? +It says it's $ 1600 . But if you share it with another person , that's only $ 800 per month . +That definitely sounds like a steal . I think that is a very trendy neighborhood as well . +That's true . I know that there are lots of popular restaurants and coffee shops around there . +Professor wang can I ask a few questions ? +Certainly . +What is the tariff ? +It's a tax levy by the goveroverment on goods imported into that country . +Why does the government levy the tariff ? +Tariff provides the government with extra tax revenue . +Anything else . +Tariff raises the price at which the goods are sold in the importing country and therefore makes them less competitive with locally produced goods . +Oh , I know . Thank you . Professor wang . +Do not mention it . +I want to make a reservation under the name of William Smith . +OK , Mr . Smith . When will you arrive ? +Around 12:00 . +Party of two ? +No , we have five persons . +All right , Mr . Smith . I will arrange a table for 5 at 12:00 for you . +Thank you . +How about we go to the flea market today ? +Great . I have long been looking forward to there . +Me , too . There are so many cheap but nice things . +I can't help shopping there . +Honey , please forgive me . There is lots of work to do . So , I forget your birthday . +I see.That ’ s all right . Don ’ t put the blame on yourself . +How have you been doing lately ? +Actually , I haven ’ t been sleeping well . I am kind of out of it . +Is there some reason why you can ’ t get enough sleep ? +I go to bed , but I just can ’ t get comfortable enough to stay asleep . +When do you turn in for the night ? +I usually try to go to bed around 11 +Do you have a lot on your mind when you try to go to sleep ? +My mother is ill with cancer , and I think about her a lot . +Do you ever meditate or read before bedtime ? +I usually watch a lot of television before I go to bed . Maybe I should try something else to help me quiet down . +Something's wrong with my computer . +What's the problem ? +My computer won't turn on . +Did you see if all the connections are right ? +I'm not sure I understand what you mean . +The connections between your CPU and your outlet . +Is that what's stopping my computer from turning on ? +If your plugs aren't connected all the way , the computer won't turn on . +I had no idea . +Why don't you try it and see what happens ? +I'll try it right now . +Let me know if that doesn't work . +Why are you arresting me ? +There is a warrant out for your arrest . +What kind of warrant ? +You have a bench warrant . +What is that ? +Have you missed a court date ? +I never went to court . +I can't help you . +This is unfair . +A lot of things aren't fair . That's life . +I have rights , don't I ? +You have the right to an attorney . +Have you begun cleaning up that room of yours ? +I haven't started yet , but I will . +What time are you going to clean it up ? +I'm planning on cleaning it up a little later . +I told you to clean it up earlier . +I know . I am still going to clean it up . +Make sure you vacuum and dust your room . +I won't forget . +I don't want you to leave until you clean up . +My plans aren't until later , so I'll clean it before I go . +I'd like to cancel my reservation on flight MS701 to Warsaw on the 23rd.My name is Michael . +Hold on for a moment . ( a few minutes later ) I have cancelled your reservation.Shall I make another one for you ? +No , thanks . +I see . Please call us again for any further reservation.Thanks for calling us . +I've got a headache and sore throat . +How long have you had it ? +It all started the day before yesterday . +I think you've got the flu . There's a lot of it about . +What should I do ? +Take some medicine and stay in bed for a day or two . +Drop me at the Manhattan Post Office . +Well , that's an hour's ride.Why not just post your mail here . +Oh , I'm visiting a friend there . +I see . +I really just have two problems with this . +Yes , sir ? +I ’ m concerned about your lack of marketing experience and , frankly , your age , you ’ re pretty new at all this . +I can understand that . Let me see if I can clarify some things for you . +Hi there , Philip . How ’ s everything going ? +It ’ s going pretty well , but I ’ m really tired ! +I don ’ t blame you . You ’ Ve had a busy first week . Take a rest ! +It ’ s all right . I don ’ t mind being busy ! +Ms . Montgomery ? Do you have a moment ? +Sure , Brian . What ’ s on your mind ? +I ’ m a bit upset about this year ’ s bonus . I was really expecting a little more . Are there any problems with my work ? +No , not at all , Brian . This year , we ’ Ve all had to cut back . I ’ m hoping next year ’ s going to better . I hope you can understand . +Show me your passport , please . +Here you are . +How long are you staying in Britain ? +3 weeks . I am here on tour . +Have a pleasant stay in Britain . +Excuse me , can you tell me how to apply for a visa to America ? +Log on to the website of American Embassy in Beijing and fill in the application forms . +And what should I do next ? +Then make an appointment by telephone and wait for the interview . +How long will I wait for ? +It all depends . +What's the fee for application ? +About 800 yuan . +Thank you very much . +You are welcome . +Are you here for the position advertised in China Daily ? +Yes , I am . I'm very interested in that advertisement about hiring a computer program designer , and hope to know a little more about it . +What kind of information would you like ? +Well , first I would like to know if this position is still available . +Yes , it's still open . +Terrific ! Then how should I apply for ? +Oh , we need your resume , health report , three photographs and several letters of recommendation . Would you please send them to us by next Wednesday ? +Thank you very much . Bye-bye . +Would you please recommend some Chinese wine ? +Would you like to have a taste of Moutan ? +That's great ! What comes along with Moutan ? +Yes , you con order some typical Chinese dishes . For example , Roast Beijing Duck . +It sounds good . +Yes , it is the best of our hotel . +Really ? Let me have a try . +Thank you . Just a moment , please . +No-no-no , sorry ! That's a handicapped parking space . Are you handicapped ? +No , but this is an emergency !

As junk food contains high amount of oil and fat , you'll feel sleepy , but not be able to concentrate when you have a lot of it . +Yes , but life without chips , ice cream and coca cola is boring . +Let me see . You could exercise more to keep fit . +Well , that sounds better than giving it up . +Good morning , I'd like to open a savings account . Can you tell me on how to go about it ? +OK .

Smith , I'm wondering whether you have found a way of considering my offer ? +I certainly have the will but I wonder if I've found the way . +You see . I made what I consider to be a reasonable offerbased upon the rise in production costs and the continued fall in the exchange rate of Australian Dollar to U . S . Dollar . +Let me say something about the falling Australian Dollar . We're both hurt by the rising U . S . Dollar . We will have to pay more Renminbi for U . S . Dollar to buy wool from you . +I understand . +Do you ? Then you can see that we have one wish that is to conclude this transaction in a way that will satisfy both sides . What can you do to help ? +I think the best way I can do is to reduce our price by 2 % and I should think we could conclude a deal at $ 98 . +All right . I accept this reduced offer at $ 98 per metric ton FOB stowed . The other terms and conditions shall remain the same as those in the previous agreement . Now will you draft the agreement or shall I ? +Your legal department is very good at these things . We can trust them with the drafting of the agreement . +Ok . Then well bring it over to you tomorrow morning . You'll sign it first , so it will only need my signature . Is that agreeable to you ? +Very agreeable , Mr . Smith .

This is the invoice . +Here you are . We've ironed them for you already . Please check and see if there is any damage . +I'm afraid that a button is missing . +I'm terribly sorry . You know we are so busy today and we forget to sew the button back on . Please wait a moment . It will be ready soon . +OK , please . +Would you like to have a look ? Is it to your satisfaction ? +Well , oh my God , there is another problem , I'm afraid . There is still a stain on the shirt . +It doesn't seem like that . Sorry , sir , we've tried everything , but we're not able to get it off the shirt . It was from the sugar I think . +It's been several days now , I am not sure . +Yes , the sugar was burnt during the dry-cleaning process . And there you go . +Oh , that's so bad . I know little about that . Is there a remedy for it ? +I am awfully sorry . Please tell us about the stains before the dry-cleaning next time . +OK , I will . +This is a membership card .

Can you make it for me ? +No problem . +You won't believe what just happened . +What ? +I went down to change some money , right ? +Yes . We need some . How much did you change ? +I wanted to change around 5000 dollars . And you know the exchange rate . +Yes , it's about 35 pesos for every Taiwan dollar , right ? +Not today . +What do you mean ? +I went into the bank with my money , and I looked at the exchange board.At first I couldn't believe it . I thought I was reading the board wrong or something . +Why ? +Because the board said 60 pesos for every Taiwan dollar . +Sixty ? That's too much . How can that be ? +I thought it was wrong too . It didn't make sense . +Just two days ago it was 35 . How can it be 60 ? +So , I went up to the teller and started to exchange the money . And it's true.They really gave me sixty pesos for the dollar . +That's amazing ! Really ? How could it change so much in two days ? +My stomach's growling again ! +You'll never lose weight if you listen to your stomach . +Just a little steak , uh ... snack ? A bowl of clam chowder ? +You want to be beautiful , don't you ? Think about the butter and flour in ... +You're right . But if I get too thin , my mom will make me go to the hospital again . +Most models only eat once a day . If they can do it , so can we . +You know . Soup , well , society makes us like this . +I think you're hallucinating ! What are you talking about ? +Well , thin is always " in " with the media . +And your point is ? +if you aren't thin , you're nobody . +I agree with you , but I think people are pretty bad , too . +You lost me . +People are always gossiping about one another . +Yeah , but that's human nature . +We can be so critical of one another . +Let's change the stomach , I mean , the subject.How about some food ? +Good morning . I ’ m Mickey Huang , I have an appointment with Mr wilson . +Is this about the Sales Assistant position ? +That's right . My appointment is for 11 o'clock . +Mr wilson is on the line right now . Please have a seat . He'll be right with you . +Thank you . +Can I get you something , coffee , tea ? +No , I'm fine . Thank you . +have you finished going through the contract ? +yes , but I have a few questions for you . +Ok . Ask away . +first , I ’ d like to know if you offer employees sick leave . +yes , employees can take up to 10 days of sick leave per year . However , in order to get paid , you ’ ll have to bring in a note from the doctor ’ s . +even if I ’ m only sick for one day ? +that ’ s correct . +that ’ s pretty strict , if you ask me . +well , we ’ Ve had to add that to the contract because we found that many of our employees were taking almost one sick day a month , even though they weren ’ t sick . +I see . I guess that makes sense . +do you have any other questions ? +yes . Maternity leave is mentioned in the contract , but there ’ s nothing in the contract alout paternity leave . Do you offer anything to fathers ? +we do actually . We can add that as an amendment to your contract . +how many days of paternity leave do you offer ? +men are allowed to take 10 days of paternity leave for their first child . +why are women allowed so much more time for maternity leave ? +well , women are the ones giving birth .

I would like the garlic sauce on the side . +Would you like your salad brought to you with your entree , or would you like it served now ? +You can serve our salads with our dinner . +Hello . May I help you ? +Yeah , this dress is really nice ! How much is it ? +That one is one hundred and fifty dollars . +One hundred and fifty dollars ? What about this other one over here ? +That ’ s one hundred and forty . +Hmm ... that ’ s a bit out of my price range . Can you give me a better deal ? +This is an exclusive design by marco ! It ’ s a bargain at that price . +Well , I don ’ t know . I think I ’ ll shop around . +Okay , okay , how about one hundred dollars ? +That ’ s still more than I wanted to spend . What if I take both dresses ? +Okay , I can give you a special discount , just because you seem like a nice person . One hundred and ninety dollars for both . +I don ’ t know ... It ’ s still a bit pricey ... Thanks anyway . +my final price ! One hundred dollars for both ! That ’ s two for the price of one . That ’ s my last offer ! +Great !

How about a relaxing vacation in Hawaii ? +Sounds good . Are there any group tours I can go with ? +Yes . There will be one at the end of this month .

The transportation by air will take five days . +Fine . I happen to have 20 days for holiday , so exciting ! How many places will be visited and what are they ? Where will be staying and how about the food there ? +Sir , let's do it step by step . First , we will visit over 25 different places . Most of the places are in Hawaii ’ s Big Island . We will stay in Arlott ’ s Lodge +Well , cool .

They look great on everyone . +Umm . too shiny . And I wear pantyhose with my shoes so let ’ s look for a closed-toe shoe . +OK , these are a very nice pair of leather shoes with a two-inch heel so they are very comfortable . +I don ’ t like the pointed toes . Let me take a look at what else you have . Too high . That one looks like the back would cut into my heel . I have a high instep so I doubt that one will fit properly . I don ’ t want bows . I find slingbacks very uncomfortable . Those might as well be stilettos . Too modern . Ah , finally , this is what I ’ m looking for . +What size ? +Seven-and-a-half . +Here we are . How does it fit ? +Hmmm.Not good . They ’ re too tight.The length is right , but the shoe is too narrow and it ’ s pinching my toes . And there ’ d be no room for my insoles . You know what ? I don ’ t think I have the patience for this today . They just don ’ t make shoes like they used to . I ’ ll come back another time . +Have a nice day , Ma ’ am . +What can I do for you ? +I'd like to have my hair cut . +OK . This way , please . +You look so busy . +We've particularly busy on Sunday . Please sit here . How do you wish it cut ? +Short on both sides . Not so much in the middle . +It's a long time since you had a haircut last time , isn't it ? +Yes . You are right . +How long ago ? +About two months . +Shall we share a taxi ? +Where are you heading now ? +I want to go back to my college on the Huanghe road . It is very close to your house . +Is that the university next to the Teachers ' College ? +That's the one . +You mean we'll share the taxi ? +Yeah . If we share the cab , it'll be cheaper . Besides that your Chinese is better than mine . The drivers usually have difficulty understanding me even though I practice my pronunciation carefully . +Well . Don't worry about it , I will be happy to share the taxi with you . +Hello . May I help you ? +Yes , please . I've been here for nearly two months , but I still haven ’ t found a job . Do you think you can find one for me ? +Don ’ t worry , we ’ ll try to help you . Will you please fill out this form ? +What ’ s this form for ? +This is for registration . After you have given us your personal details , we'll match these against new jobs as they come in . And we ’ ll contact you when there is a job that suits you . +That's great . But how long do I have to wait ? +Maybe several weeks , maybe several months . It's hard to tell . +Oh , dear . How can I wait for such a long time ? +Actually , many jobs are filled by people who select vacancies from the display boards there . +Then , what do you think I should do ? +My advice is to keep looking for jobs yourself . Check the job boards at the job center regularly and check the newspapers daily . If you have friends or relatives here , ask them for help , too . +I see . Thank you very much for your advice . Bye . +Keep in touch . +How are you doing today ? +I'm doing great . What about you ? +I'm absolutely lovely , thank you . +Everything's been good with you ? +I haven't been better . How about yourself ? +I started school recently . +Where are you going to school ? +I'm going to PCC . +How do you like it so far ? +I like it so far . My classes are pretty good right now . +I wish you luck . +Thanks a lot . +All right then , Ms . Montgomery . I ’ ll get those plans over to your office by Thursday afternoon . +Great . That will give me time to talk with my staff before I make final decision . +That ’ s what I was thinking . I ’ ll have them there by Thursday . +Good news . Thanks for getting things done so quickly . +Great . My favorite-soup , soup , soup ... +Oh , and there's one more thing you have to do every hour on the hour , sweets . +Blow my nose ? +Well , you do that when your nose needs blowing . I was talking about a way to make your throat heal faster . +No , please , Mom ! Don't make me gargle with saltwater ! +It works better than any medicine , Lily . I'll make you a glass right now , and you'll finish it ! +What a nice garden ! Look at these tulips ! +That would be a good shot . Can you take my picture here , dear ? Please try to get the garden in the frame as well . +All right . Would you please stand closer to the flower bed ? Good . Smile . Say " cheese " . OK , got you . That's terrific . +Thanks . Could you take one more from this angle ? +No problem . +Now let's have one together . +Do you know how to set up the timer ? +Let me see ... set the timer first and push the button , oh , come here . +OK , let's have a try . +Cheese ... +Did it come out ? +Yes , but it's blurred and a little dark . +Never mind . Let's go to the falls and try again . +Ok , let's go . +Now we have settled the terms of payment . Is it possible to effect shipment during September ? +I don't think we can . +Then when is the earliest we can expect shipment ? +By the middle of October , I think . +That's too late . You see , November is the season for this commodity in our market , and our Customs formalities are rather complicated . +I understand . +Besides , the flow through the marketing channels and the red tape involved take at least a couple of weeks . Thus , after shipment it will be four to five weeks altogether before the goods can reach our retailers . The goods must therefore be shipped before October ; otherwise we won't be in time for the selling season . +But our factories are fully committed for the third quarter . In fact , many of our clients are placing orders for delivery in the fourth quarter . +Mr . Brown , you certainly realize that the time of delivery is a matter of great importance to us . If we place our goods on the market at a time when all other importers have already sold their goods at profitable prices , we shall lose out . +I see your point . However , we have done more business this year than any of the previous years . I am very sorry to say that we cannot advance the time of delivery . +That's too bad , but I sincerely hope you will give our request your special consideration . +You may take it from me that the last thing we want to do is to disappoint an old customer like you . But the fact remains that our manufacturers have a heavy backlog on their hands . +But can't you find some way to get round your producers for an earlier delivery ? Make a special effort , please . A timely delivery means a lot to us . +All right . We'll get in touch with our producers and see what they have to say . +Good morning , sir . How may I help you ? +I'd like to open an account . +Certainly , sir . Would you like to open a time deposit savings account or a checking account ? +Actually , I'd like to open one of each , if that's possible . +No problem , sir . What sort of time deposit account would you like to open ? +What are my choices ? +The minimum time period is three months . The longer the period , the higher the interest rate . If you withdraw your money before time is up , there are penalties . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes . I am looking for a pair of gloves . +What about this one ? It's the latest . +Excuse me , but I want a pair of mittens . +I am sorry , it's out of stock right now . +Fancy seeing you here 。 Lily . +Yeah.What a surprise ! +How's everything going ? +Fine.thanks . +Johnny , I want to thank you . +What do you mean , Mom ? For breaking your best china ? +Oh , Johnny , that stuff was dollar store junk . No , I want to thank you for keeping Grandma busy . +Well , it's more like she kept me busy ... +I know , and normally she's trying to tell me how to clean my house . So , thank you . +Am I back in your good books ? +Not only that , but I'm going to buy you that video game after all ! +Where do you usually do your shopping , Mrs . Lane ? +I usually go to the supermarket , near the station . +How do you find the prices there ? +I think they are quite reasonable , and the vegetables are very fresh . +I see you have bought some coffee.Would you mind telling me how much you paid for it ? +Only 2 dollars and 25 cents . +Hey honey , how was your day ? +It was alright . I ran into Bill and we got to talking for a while.He ’ s in a bit of a jam . +Why ? What happened ? +Well , his son had an accident and Bill doesn ’ t have health insurance . This really got me thinking , and I wondered if we shouldn ’ t look into a couple of different HMO ’ s . +Yeah , you ’ re right . We aren ’ t getting any younger and our kids are getting older . +Exactly ! I searched on the web and found a couple of HMO ’ s with low co-pays and good coverage . The deductibles are low , too . +Sounds good , although , do you think we can qualify for insurance ? Those insurance companies are real pirates when it comes to money . +Well , we don ’ t have any pre-existing illnesses or conditions , so we should be fine . +I wish our company or country provided us with healthcare . +Not in a million years ! +Is everything all right ? +Not at all . +What's the problem ? +Someone just robbed me . +What do you mean ? +This guy just robbed me right on the street . +He didn't hurt you , did he ? +I'm okay . He just stole my things . +I'm so sorry . +I have to file a report at the police station . +Let me take you . +I would like that . +Repair service , how may I help you ? +My phone has got lot of static . +How old is your phone ? +About five years old . +The wire in your phone might have gotten rusty . Could you bring your phone into our office ? We'll clean it for you . +Sure , where is your office ? +We're located at 132 West Street . +When are you available ? +From 9A . M . to 5 P . M . +Alright , I'll bring it in this afternoon . +No problem . See you this afternoon . +Good morning . Do I need an appointment ? +No , ma'am , there's only one person ahead of you . You won't have to wait long . +Thank you . +All right , madam , it's your turn . What will it be today ? +I've been wearing my hair long for years , but now I'd like to try some kind of modern style . What do you suggest for a woman like me , that is , with hair like mine ? +Come here , please . We'd like to wash your hair first . That way it will be easier to cut and style . I think you'll like this style . It's very fashionable . +I hope so . I'm really tired of this old-fashioned style that I've been wearing . +Would you like me to blow-dry your hair ? +Yes , if you think it will help . +What do you think of it ? +It's great ! Will it be hard to care for ? +Not at all . When you wash it , it will fall into place naturally . You'll probably need another cut in about a month . Shall I make an appointment for you ? +By all means . +Anything I can do for you ? +Yes , I just forgot where the bed linens department is . +It's on the third floor . +Thank you . +You're welcome . +Wow , what a cool car ! The styling of this car really appeals to me . +Yes , this is a very popular car . +I want to buy it . How much does this car cost ? +The car is beautiful , isn't it ? Come on inside and we'll discuss the price . +You can tell me here . I just want to know the price . +50000 yuan ' What a deal ! That will , of course , include tax , licence , and registration fee . +I appreciate your help , but I think I'll look around a bit . +Then what price would be fair to you ? +I think that 30000 yuan would be fair for this car . +I can see that you are a smart buyer . Forty thousand is my best price . +Can't you make it cheaper ? I still can't afford the car . +38000yuan is my final offer . +Hum ... OK . I will take it . +O . K . So , where do you think we can save more money ? +Well , we could eat in more . That $ 300 for entertainment is mostly going to restaurants . +Yeah , that ’ s a good idea , and you like to cook . What about the books ? +No , I need my books . +Come on , if we save more money we can retire earlier , and you ’ ll actually have time to read all those books you buy . +Well , what about the $ 50 you spent on a shirt ? You could ’ Ve gotten something for less . +O . K . Let ’ s compromise , if you agree to only spend $ 75 on books , I ’ ll agree to only spend $ 40 for my next shirt . +All right . That sounds fair . +I was meaning to ask you if you saw the basketball game on Friday . +I wanted to go , but I couldn't . +It was a great game . +It's too bad that I couldn't make it . Who won ? +Our team played hard and won . +I really wish I went to the game . +It was the best game ever . +So tell me the final score . +The other team lost by three points , 101-98 . +It must've been a close game . +It really was . You should've gone . +Hopefully , I'll make it to the next one . +morning , Mr . Emory . I was hoping to set up an appointment with you for sometime this week . +Hmm . I ’ m pretty booked up this week . Let ’ s move it up to next week . +Fine , Mr . Emory . Would next Monday at 4:00 o ’ clock be all right for you ? +Let me take a look . All right , that ’ s no problem . See you then . +The time has come to say goodbye . +So soon . It seems as if you just got here . +I feel that way , too . But all good things must come to an end , as they say . +It certainly has been a pleasure seeing you again and renewing old memories . +I've had a delightful time and I really appreciate your spending so much time showing me the sights . +It was fun for me , too.It gave me a chance to get away from my routine and do something a little different . +You'll be out to see me next year , as you promised ? +Oh , yes . I should be there sometime next spring . +I'll be expecting you then . +What's today's special ? +I think our smoked fish will be to your taste . +OK , I'd like to try it today . +Benter's Books . +Yes , I need to order a large number of Webster's dictionaries . +We have several hundred in stock . +Is there a discount for buying in large quantity ? +Where is that ? +Take me to the airport , please . +( while driving ) Are you in a hurry ? +I have to be there before 17 00 . +We'll make it except a jam.You know it's rush hour . +There's an extra ten in it for you if you can get me there on time . +I'll do my best . +( After arriving on time ) Here's twenty dollars . +Do you have small bills ? +No . If you can't break it , keep the change . But can you give me a receipt ? +Here is your receipt.Thank you . +Kids are always difficult to control . +True . When I tell my kids to behaves themselves , they will make a face and slip away . +Kids are kids . +Would you care for a cup of tea before your meal ? +OK , thank you . +How about some Oolong tea ?

Thanks . +You ’ re welcome . You know , these days I have been reflecting on my biggest weakness procrastination . The more I think about it , the more I hate myself for being so disorganized . I decided to change the situation as soon as possible . Otherwise I will be more regretful later . +This is encouraging news , good for you ! What is your solution , then ? +The most useful method is to make plans and set priorities . It helps me to manage time well and get the most important things done at the first place . +Sounds not bad ! Better performance isn ’ t just about doing a lot more . It is about focusing on the right things to do . +I take care of the letters .

I think that many people underestimate the value of TV in education . +I agree . Are there any commercials on the TV ? +Of course . Because the TV stations need to make money from commercials between the programs . +That makes a lot of sense . Does the TV work well ? +Not always . It depends on the transmission of the satellite signals . +I got it . Do you pay for the programs ? +Yes , 50 Yuan per month . +It is a little bit expensive , but it's worth it . +Yeah .

French and Spanish . +And how well can you speak them ? +Well , French was my best subject at school . I can read and write it pretty well . +And how about your Spanish ? +Well , it's not as good as my French . I can speak it reasonably well , but my written Spanish isn't very good . +I see . Well , we have a lot of Spanish customers , but you wouldn't need to write any Spanish here . +In that case , I'm fit for the position I think . +We are on our way . I think our first stop is Buckingham Palace . +That's right . I can already see the Palace Garden on the left . +And here is Buckingham Palace ! Look , isn't it beautiful ?

Can you come to my room ?

Well , how long do you expect to stay in the hospital ? +The doctor told me to stay about one month . +But there're no beds available now .

I really want to have an interview . +Have you made an appointment with this company ? +Not yet .

Don't hang up ! +Yeah , but you guys don't stay with the same classmates all day , right ? +Right . The people in your math class might not be the people you have science with . +So , you sent out invitations to your whole graduating class ? +Yep . And the date is set for homecoming night . +I thought homecoming was a high school dance . +It's a football game the school team plays at home . The dance and reunions are usually that night , too . +Good afternoon , anything I can do for you ? +Yes , I am after some sugar . +Well , we have some nice sugar . +Can you show me the way , please ? +Sure , follow me . +Don't you think all of the money goes to the ads and we have nothing to read . +But newspapers do get some extra income by offering space for ads . +Extra income.They can get rich with sheer ads . +You didn ’ t show up in the morning meeting . What ’ s up ? +Well , I just came in . I worked overtime yesterday . Some statistics and very important documents seemed to be inaccurate . So I stayed to double check them . The boss was aware of my very late work of last night . So before he left office , he told me I could come one hour later this morning . +But you still look a little bit tired . What time did you leave ? +It was around 1 thirty in the morning . I guess I didn ’ t fall asleep till 3 because those numbers were involving in my mind . I just couldn ’ t stop thinking about them . +That ’ s normal after a tense work evening . Working overtime is not always a pleasant experience for me either . Once , I worked overtime everyday for a whole week including the weekend . That really broke my rhythm and I got a little sick later . +Working at weekend is something I hate to do most . +But if the company asks , what else can we do ? +Hello . I need to speak with Allan Cartwright . +This is he . May I help you ? +I certainly hope so , I am about to stop doing business with your office . +I ’ m very sorry , Madam .

Mike Lee . And put me as close as possible to the stage , please . +Are there any special unemployment forms I need to fill out ? +You need to get a special application form . +Do you know where I can find the application form ? +You can go to the Employment Development Office and pick it up . +What records will I have to show to apply for unemployment benefits ? +They will need a record showing who you worked for and when you worked for them . +Is there anything else I will need to provide ? +Be prepared to show a written notice of your termination as proof . +Do I need to do anything else after I turn in the application ? +You will receive a notice for a phone interview , which will continue the process . +I'd like to try the chef's special . +Then what about you , Miss ? +I am on a diet .

In six short weeks I've put on 30 pounds of pure muscle . +Wow ! All because of Super Bulk-Up . +Did you hear something ? +Oh , it is my cell phone ringing . I set it in the vibration mode . +It is a good habit to set your cell phone to vibrate . It is very annoying to hear the loud and sudden ring tone in quiet offices . +You are right . Some ring tone is just terribly loud . You can hear it even in the next door . It is really a kind of distraction . +Maybe we can write a report to the boss to see what can be done . +Good idea . +Hey , Benjamin , have you finished your report on the project ? +Not yet . To tell you the truth , I don't know how to write it . I've considered it for several days . +What ? Man , you don't know how to write a project report ? That's sounds a little bit ridiculous . +Don't laugh at me , please . I'm serious . I've never been required to write this kind of report before , I only do the research reports . +Oh , sorry , I've totally forgotten that you are a workaholic . +So what items must be involved in this report ? +First is your final conclusion on your work of this year , and then comes your plan for the next year . +Yeah , is that all ? +Let me see , no , you have to include more details about your final conclusion , for example , your experiences in dealing with some emergent events . +That's too complicated . +And only that doesn't make a perfect one , you also have to pay attention to the format of the report . +Oh , my God , is there any fixed for mat for it-the one that I just need to fix my information in ? +I'm sorry . There isn't . Because different people have to write different kinds of reports . +But I don't know how to work the Microsoft Words . Could you please give me a hand ? +OK , no problem . But you have to learn it and then do it yourself next time . +Did you hear anything about the robbery ? +I watched it happen . +Really ? +Yes .

Come on in and join us ! +I am not really sure that I remember how to even put a resume together . +I am here to show you how to put together the perfect resume . It will turn out great ! +How do we get started ? +We need to put our name and contact information across the top . +Then what ? +You can list your education at the top , or choose your job experience to be there if it is more impressive . +Could I list my interests and special skills next ? +I think that that would work out quite well as an ending for your resume . +Bell Captain . May I help you ? +Yes . This is Mr . Wang in Room 1305 . Please send up a boy to help me with my luggage . +Certainly , sir . How much luggage do you have ? +Well , two big suitcases and two small bags . +I'll send someone up right away . +Are you doing the job the way I suggested ? +No , I think I didn't like your method . +Well , have it your way . +Have you obtained any certificate of technical qualifications or license ? +Yes , I have received an Engineer's Qualification Certificate and a driver's license . +How many years have you had the driver's license ? +I have two years driving experience . +That's good .

I'd like to reserve a double room with a bath from tonight on for five days , please . +A moment , please . I'll check our room availability for these days ... Yes , that's all right.What ' s your name please ? +John Smith . J-O-H-N S-M-I-T-H . +I'm sorry , your visa has expired . +What ? You're kidding ! Let me see that ... There must be some mistakes . +I'm afraid you'll need to have your visa extended before we can have you check in . +Oh , it's a pity . +I have a reservation for a single with a bath . +We're sorry , but single rooms have been occupied . +What's the room rate ? It's little expensive for me.Do you have any other room ? +Then , how about this room with just a shower ? +May I see the room ? I'll take this room . Is the rate for a room only ? +No , sir.The tax is included . +What's your apartment like ? +It's a furnished two bedroom flat in a three-story building on campus . +What is it like living in on-campus housing ? +It's not as bad as I thought it would be . The freshmen that live nearby are really loud , especially on the weekends . But , the rent is much cheaper than private housing , so it's worth it . +Did you have to pay a deposit ? +No , but we do have to pay 9 months rent in 6 months , so for the first 6 months we pay 1/2 month's rent each month . +Do you have to pay utilities on top of your monthly rent ? +No , it's all included . Besides , students don't have to pay council tax , so we're saving quite bit of money by living here . +How long is your contract for ? +That's the bad thing---the contract ends in June , so we'll have to find a new apartment soon . +Have you started looking yet ? +Not yet . I'm hoping we'll be able to find something cheap once all the students leave the city for the summer . +Good luck ! +Which service offered by your bank do you use most ? +I use several services . Of course , I deposit and withdraw money quite often . I often use my ATM card to take money out of my current account . I use my bank to exchange money from one currency to another . I often travel abroad , you see . +Do you ever ask you bank for traveller ’ s cheques ? They are much safer than carrying lots of cash around . +I sometimes use traveller ’ s cheques , but sometimes I travel to countries where they are hard to exchange for cash . +Do you use your bank to pay your utility bills ? I use direct debit . +Yes , I do . It save me a lot of time . I also have standing orders for my subscriptions to magazines . +That ’ s good idea . You don ’ t need to worry about missing an issue of a magazine if you do that . I suppose you have a mortgage too . +Yes . My bank offers very good terms and conditions on mortgage . There ’ s a lot of competition between banks nowadays . Each one is trying to offer better conditions and services than the others . +I have a deposit account with my bank . There are some restrictions on withdrawing money , but the interest rate is much higher . +I don ’ t have one . I prefer to buy shares . My bank also provides a share trading service . It ’ s cheap and easy to use . +That ’ s great . But I prefer to put my money somewhere where the returns are more certain . +Are you married ? +Yes , I've just married . +How long have you been married ? +I have been married for three years . +How many people are there in your family ? +There are four people in my family . +Who are the members of your family ? +My husband , my mother-in-law , my daughter and I . +Hello , this is IBA Bank . Maria speaking , how may I help ? +Hi , I'm looking into your loans and I'm a little confused about the interest rates . Could you give me some advice ? +Not a problem . Which loan was it you were interested in ? Sorry , I must ask , because the interest rates can depend on the type of loan you apply for . +I understand . I'm interested in the Petty Consumer Loan . +One of our most popular ! The usual interest rate is fixed by the PBC . That is The People's Bank of China . But of course , with some loans , credit rating and loan amount come into play , too . +So , the rate could fluctuate a little , depending on the amount given by the PBC ? +That is correct . +I'm going to have to do some more research into this . Thanks for your help , bye for now . +I'm going to the shops in a minute . What do we need ? +We're okay for vegetables but we should stock up on meat . Can you go to the butcher's and get some veal and some beef ? +No problem . We also need bread , so I'll go to the baker's . I'll get some vol au vents for Victor's birthday bash on Friday . We'll need balloons for that too . +Better visit the supermarket then . We'll need some other things for the party . Get some vanilla ice cream , some butter and some vinegar and twelve bottles of beer . +Okay . The library's beside the baker's . I'd better take back the videos we borrowed last week . They're overdue . +I'll see you later then . +Bye ! I'll be back before seven . +Good morning , Madam . What can I do for you ? +I'd like to withdraw 35,000 RIB from my Corporate Account . +Do you have an appointment ? +Yes , my name is Ms Jane Reeve , R-E-E-V-E . +Ah , yes , Ms Reeve . I have all of your information here . Do you have the cash cheque ? +Here you go . +I'm sorry Ms Reeve , it says 45,000 RIB here . +Oh , how silly of me . Can we correct it here ? +I'm sorry , we cannot make corrections on these . You'll have to bring another one with the correct amount , I'm afraid . +Good afternoon . How can I help you ? +Good afternoon . My name is Monica . I am here for the job interview at 2 PM . +Ok , please first fill in the form and return it to me . You can do it in the next door . +Done . Here is my paper . +Everybody attention . I would like to make sure you all know the process . The interview consists of three parts . One , all of the interviewees will answer the question there and lasts for maximum one hour . Two , we will take a 30 - minute ’ s break . After the break , we all come back to this office and I will announce the successful candidates for the 2nd round . In which , you have a small interview with your future manager . +What about the 3rd round ? +Good question . But I will tell you when you pass the first two . +How do I get to the EDD ? +Actually , you do not need to go into the office to file a claim . You can do it over the phone or the Internet . +Can I go in to look for a job at their office ? +That ’ s a good decision . They have many good job search tools there . +Is there an office near me ? +The Internet has a list of Employment Development Offices listed online . +Do you know where the local office for this area is ? +Our office is over on Green Street , just west of the college . +If I go there , will I be able to collect money right away ? +Everyone has a one-week waiting period before they can collect . +How much are you asking for this ? +I'm offering them to you at 150 yuan a piece . Is that all right ? +Is tax already included in their price ? +Yes . Our price can't be matched . +Would you consider a volume discount ? +If you buy 1,000 or more , you'll get a 10 % discount . +I'll accept your offer . +May I help you ? +Yes , I am looking for a coat . +Do you have any style in your mind ? +I have no idea . +I recommend you this one . It's a very popular kind of coat-the most recent thing . +Well , it's good in style , but I am afraid it doesn't wash well . +There's been a dramatic change in the weather pattern . +Don't tell me it affects our flight . +It has been delayed . +Did they say for how long ? +No , but probably until there is a break in the storm . +So we can't really go anywhere , can we ? +I think it's smart to stay close to the gate so we can hear the updates . +I brought some cards . Are you up for a long game ? +oh , the clothes here are so expensive ! No wonder there are few people . +Beauty costs , dear ! What do you think of this dress ? Do you think it suits me ? +yeah , it's lovely , but to be frank , it's not the most practical . You don't have many formal events in your calendar , do you ? +come on , you sound like my Mom.Look at that , it's beautiful ! +when you buy clothes , you must think about the material , quality and price . +maybe you have a point . +make sure you buy what you need and your clothes can be worn for various occasions . +all right . How about this black shirt ? It can be worn for anything---a party , a job interview and even a funeral ! +that's true , but you already have two back coats and one black sweater . +oh ! Hey , look , that's the same shirt Britney wore in her concert . +exactly ! Oh , my god ! I love Britney ! I'm going to get it . +why not try it on ? +it's just the right size--a perfect fit ! I'll take it . Oh , no , I'm a little short . Did you bring your credit card ? +yes . +I promise I'll pay you back as soon as we get home . +Francis , what ’ s that ? +Well , that is the chart showing our company ’ s organizational structure . +Could you tell me something about it ? +Ok . On the top , Mr . Thomas , the managing director , is responsible for running the company . +How many departments do we have ? +Four . They are production department , finance department , sales and marketing department and HR department . I directly report to Mr . White . He is on a business trip and is suppose to be back this morning . Probably you will be meeting him at lunch . +Ok . Who should I report to ? +Mr . White , too . +Waiter , a table for two , please . +Yes , this way please . +Can we see the menu please . +Here you are . +What ’ s good today ? +I recommend crisp beef and fried duck . +We don ’ t want that . Well . perhaps will be begin with mushroom soap and follow by some seafood and chips . +Do you want any dissert ? +no dissert , thanks , just coffee.can I have the check please ? +Would you like to rent the house ? +You bet , as long as I can collect enough money . +I can lend some to you . +Aren't you crazy ? +Miss , where do you want to go ? +Could you drop me off at the airport ? +No problem . +Do I need to pay any extra change for my suitcases ? +Yes , you are changed 50 cents a piece . +All right . +We're going to discuss how to market CB series soon . Does your project go well ? +Absolutely . I've sorted out all the materials we need and sifted three great ways of marketing . +Oh , that's good . +We can discuss them detailedly over the meeting and choose the best way to promote our key products . +It seems you've got everything done . Now I can finally stop worrying about it and get back to work . +They are playing the wedding march , and I have felt tears . +I'm very touched , and I can't help bursting into tears at the wedding . +Really ? I have seen that our wedding , but just mary's . +Mary looks so beautiful in the wedding gown , and I record the moment that I was bride . +You are always be the most beautiful one in the world . What is the bridemaid's name ? +Judy , Why are you so interested in her ? +Don't be so sensitive , just a casual question , I caught you looking at the groomsman +He's terribly handsome . +I wonder why he is chosen to be the groomsman , and why mary doesn't marry him since he's much more attractive . +Why are you so bitter ? No one tells worse joke than you . +Administer is doing a good job . I'm not sure they'll be as happy as we are . +I came in to see how my home inspection went . +First of all , I need to share what the purpose of a home inspection is . Do you understand what I was doing there ? +I had a home inspection before , but didn ’ t really understand it . +I help you spot potential problems with the home before you purchase it . +The owner said that the roof had leaked , but that he got it fixed last month . +Sellers aren ’ t really all that objective . They may have gotten used to a leaky faucet , but it is still broken . +Are the sellers responsible for fixing the problems with the house ? +The owners may wish to pay to have the problems fixed , or maybe the price of the house can be reduced . +Did you find a lot of things wrong during the home inspection ? +The house has a very outdated electrical system . Many of the switches and outlets do not work and are unsafe . +Welcome to our company . +I really love this kind of atmosphere . +An impressive officer is vital to the image projected by the company . +There are people everywhere . What's that girl doing ? +She is dealing with customers and driving up new business . The guy next to her is in charge of their office computer network . +And what about that man there ? +He is our accountant . +I see you have a coffee bar for a water cooler . The staff here must be comfortable . I think it really helps morale when people feel supported by their employees . +Indeed , they are . Keeping staff happy is the only way to keep them with the company . +What channel did you watch last night ? +Channel Two . A TV series was showing on it . The name of the series is Huanzhu Gene +How do you feel about it ? +Generally it's to my appetite . What about you ? +Well , I don't think much about it . To me , it's a sheer waste of time +Don't be too critical . So what's your favorite ? +Variety shows and talk shows , I think . +We need to know whether you have the special training . +Actually , I received that kind of training when I was in college . +How about your experience ? +I worked as a PR clerk for one year +Well , your qualifications for the job are excellent . And is there anything you'd like to ask about the job ? +Yes , I'd like to know if the company provides opportunities for further education . +Yes , our employees are allowed to take up 2 days a month to attend college courses . +That's very generous . +I've enjoyed the conversation with you . We'll call you within 5 working days . +Thank you . I appreciate the time you've given to me . +How does the political system work in your country ? +We have hundreds of constituencies and the votes in each one elect a member of parliament . Most people call them mp ’ s . +Each mp belongs to a political party , right ? +Almost all of them do . A few are independent . That means that they do not belong to a party . If one party more than half of the mp ’ s . they form a government . That means that they choose a prime minister can cabinet members . +What ’ s a cabinet ? +This is a small group of people-perhaps 25 mp ’ s who are usually ministers . They make all the big decision and discuss laws and policy . +Can any mp make a law ? +Any mp can present a law to parliament . The proposed law is debated and voted on . If it is accepted , it becomes law . +I suppose a proposed a law needs the support of the big political parties . +Yes , it does , because they have most of the mp ’ s . most mp ’ s vote the way their party wants them to . +How do people choose which party or candidate to vote for ? +They produce manifesto . These documents which states their policies . Some people just vote for the same party every time there is an election . Votes who often change the party they vote for are called floating voters . +How about drink , Sir ? +A cup of coffee , please . +Would you like cream or sugar in your coffee ? +I'd like a little sugar , please . +Sorry , I don't have any sugar . +Why did you ask me if I wanted some ? +I don't know . I just wasn't thinking . +Excuse me . I want to pay the bill . +Please wait till your name is called . +OK.Your bill includes the doctor's fee and the cost for a 3 - day supply of medicine . It comes to one hundred yuan . +Here you are . +Good . Here is the receipt . The dispensary is over there ... By the way , will this be covered by your insurance from work ? +No , I'll e paying for myself , but I have private medical insurance . +In that case , I'll give you a certificate , so you can get it reimbursed . +Thanks a lot . +Don't lose this receipt , because insurance companies are very difficult about helping when they don't have the right paperwork . +So , John , what do you do for a living ? +I ’ m a sales manager in a publishing company . +Oh , really ? That sounds interesting , what kinds of book do you publish ? +Oh , mostly fiction , lots of romance , science fiction , biography , stuff like that . +Oh , What a cool job ! How long have you worked there ? +About two years now . +Can I help you ? +I need some stamps . +What kind of stamps do you want ? +How much do I need for this letter ? +I must weigh it . +How much ?

What movies were you thinking about going to ? +have you heard of Hot Fuzz ? +yes . Isn't the director of that movie the same guy who directed Shaun of the Dead ? +that's the one . It's an actioncomedy . What do you think ? +to be honest , I didn't really like Shaun of the Dead . Besides , I like movies with a happy ending best . +what do you have in mind ? +I was thinking of seeing You , Me and Dupree . It's a typical Hollywood blockbuster . +isn't that the chick flick with Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson ? +yeah , I suppose you wouldn't want to see that , huh ? +not really . Do you like biographical / drama films ? +It depends on who the film is about . Which movie did you have in mind ? +Anne Hathaway is in a new movie called Becoming Jane which is based on a true story about Jane Austen . +that sounds fantastic ! What time is it playing ? +it's on at 8: 00 pm at the Phoenix Theatres . I have a membership there , so I can book the tickets ahead of time . +great . Shall I meet you there around 7:45 tomorrow night ? +sounds good . I'll see you then ! +Excuse me , I'm looking for your casual short-sleeved shirts .

He's too proud not to . +You've got everyone figured out , don't you ? +Yes , I do . Everyone . +To start with , may I ask why you chose to work at our company ? +First , you have had an impressive growth record , ever since the company had been founded for half a century . Second , I can improve myself by working here . +Well , please look at the employment contract . I'd like to go over the main details again before signing . First , you will be getting a monthly salary , and no probation is involved . +Yes , I get it . Will the medical plan cover me while on duty ? +Of course . A reasonable number of sick days will be covered by the company . Any extended illness will be covered by insurance . Have you read the other terms of the contract ? +Yes , I have read . In the contract , I am expected to be available up to two hours past normal working hours .

I am going to have a summer vacation . Would you recommend some scenic spots to see ? +Which place are you most interested in ? +Maybe Europe . +Well , I strongly suggest you going to London . It's really charming . +Let me have a look at the pamphlet . +We have been here for about five days and I have to leave now . +Ok ! You know you're always welcome here . Did you enjoy your stay ? +Yes , we have a very pleasant time . Thank you for being so nice for us . +It's our pleasure . And is there anything else we can do for you before you leave here ? +No , thanks . You've done a lot for us . Thank you for everything . +Don't mention it . Oh , This is a small gift for you . +Oh ! Thank you ! It's very kind of you . +We hope you could visit our company again . +We're sure we will . And welcome to our corporation next year . We're expecting you . +Ok ! We'll definitely go to visit your company . +Where are you going ? +To the office . I'll be right back . +Hey Joe , what are you doing in this department store ? +Hi , Rita , I ’ m just looking for a pair of shoes . I won ’ t be here for long . +Why not ? When I go shoe shopping , I have so many options for sneakers that I spend awhile looking at all of the choices . +That ’ s my problem . I don ’ t have a lot of options . +So how do you usually go about buying shoes , then ? +Well , first of all , I can only go to certain stores that can guarantee me a large selection . +Well , you ’ re in the right store . If they don ’ t have it , no one will . +After that I choose something from one of the few brands that I know will fit me . I prefer white , so I ask them to bring me a pair of white sneakers in my size . Since I ’ m usually only given one or two pairs of shoes that meet my qualifications , it makes it a very easy choice . +What would you like ? +We'd like to have western food today . Could you tell us something about it ? +Sure . The first food you have is appetizer , followed by a soup . Then you will have the main course . The last dishes are desserts . +Well , it's quite different from the Chinese food . +Okay , Rebecca . Now you ’ Ve given me a good idea of your work and academic background , but what about you as a person ? How would you describe your key strengths ? +Well , Mr . Parsons , as I mentioned before I ’ m someone who needs new challenges . I ’ m really focused and hard-working . I think my academic results prove this . +Yes , true , but how about other personal qualities ? +Well , I believe I ’ m a good team-player , but I can also work well independently . I ’ m very enthusiastic and , well I hope my colleagues would agree , I ’ m fun to work with . +What would you say is your most positive quality ? +Hmm , that ’ s a tough question . But I would have to say my passion . I ’ m really passionate about journalism and passionate about my career . +Do I have to talk to the interviewer or just leave my application ? +You should communicate with the interviewer whose company you are interested in , and make a good impression on him or her . In that case , your chance of success will be greater . +What should I do in the fair ? +You should take a look at all the companies , choose your favorite ones , go over to talk with the interviewer and leave your resume in the end . +Are you engaged ? +No , sir.Can I help you ? +I want sharing Company . +Oh , hop in . +Do you have the letter of approval of employment ? +No , I haven't got one . My employment petition hasn't been approved yet . +In that case , you are not allowed to work in China , until you get the employment petition . +Ok , I see . +Hello . +Hi , Daddy . It ’ s me , Troy . +Hi , Troy . How ’ s your trip going ? +It ’ s nice . I arrived safely . +Are you all right ? +I ’ m fine . Is everything fine in the family ? +Yes . Everything is fine in the family . Don ’ t worry about the family . Just enjoy your trip . How ’ s the weather there ? +The weather is gorgeous here . +That ’ s good . Take good care of yourself . +I will . Thank you , Dad . +I love you , Troy . +I love you , too , Dad . Bye . +Why am I being charged $ 10 for a movie that I never ordered ? +Sir , according to your file , you spent Monday evening watching ' Titanic . ' +Well , the file is wrong . I was at a great concert that night . +Well , this wouldn't be the first time that a file was wrong . Just a moment , please . +Thank you for taking care of it so quickly . +Sir , when I deleted the $ 10 , the program automatically added a $ 2 service charge . +You can't do that ! You can't charge me for a mistake that you made ! +Sometimes you can't win for losing , sir . +Well , now I've seen it all ! What a rip-off this place is ! +I don't blame you , sir . Two dollars is a lot of money . +Our housing problem is a highly complicated issue . +It is true . I think we should change some policies . +Right . Like our LPF program . The mortgage size is linked with the amount of savings households have accumulated on their LPF accounts . +Indeed , it's unfair . Households with higher salaries receive larger LPF contributions and thus qualify for larger loans . Lower-income households , on the other hand , can only get smaller loans , or perhaps nothing if they could not afford to purchase any housing . +Like you and me ! +I am glad to have the opportunity of visiting your corporation . I hope we can do business together . +It's a great pleasure to meet you , Mr . White . I believe you have seen our exhibits in the showroom . What is it that particularly interests you ? +I am interested in your hardware . I've seen the exhibits and studied your catalogues . I think some of the items will find a ready market in France . Here is a list of requirements . +Thank you for your inquiry . Would you tell us what quantity you require so that we can work out the offer ? +I will do that . Meanwhile , could you give me an indication of the price . +Here are our FOB price lists . All the prices in the lists are subject to our confirmation . +What about the commission ? From European suppliers , I usually get a 3 to 5 % commission for my imports . It's the general practice . +As a rule we don't allow any commission . But if the order is sizable one , we will consider it . +You see I do business on a commission basis . A commission on your prices would make it easier for me to promote sales . Even 2 or 3 % would help . +We'll discuss this when you place your order with us . +Yes , sir . May I help you ? +Please I'd like a ticket to New York . +For today ? +No , early saturday morning . +We have a flight that we'll put you there at ten AM . Is that ok ? +Nothing earlier ? I prefer flight at 9 thirty . +I'm afraid not , unless you want a night flight . +No , exactly not . +How about afternoon ? +Sounds not good . I won't take it . +Is there I can do for you , miss ? +Do you know what the weather will be tomorrow ? We are planning to climb the mountain . +Let me see , oh it's a sunny day . You will have a nice trip tomorrow . +I hope so . Thank you . +What time is our connecting flight ? +Let me check . Oh , oh ! It ’ s at 3:25 . +Wow , that's cutting it close ! That means we only have 25 minutes to make the connection ! What gate is it at ? +It's at ... gate 14 . +Oh , great ! That's at the other end of the terminal ! +OK , so here's the plan ; When we land , run to gate 14 ! +I'm be right behind ya ! +You taught at a local school for a year , right ? +Yes , I was there as an English teacher . +Did you enjoy yourself there ? +Sure . I was fond of those lovely children +So why did you decide to resign ? +The school is a little bit too far away . I simply want to take good care of my elderly grandfather . +I see . But why don't you continue to work as a teacher ? +I think it's better for me to meet new challenges in life . +So you can have more room for development . +And I can experience another kind of life style . +It sounds like a good idea . +I hope I can adapt to the new job as soon as possible . +Hi , this is ABC Company . Is that Joseph ? +Yes , speaking . Anything I can do for you ? +I am calling to tell you that the interview for you is in our company on Monday morning at 8: 00 . +Where is the interview happening ? +It is on the Jianshe Street where there is a Carrefour Supermarket near it . +What a lovely tapestry ! Don't you think we could use one to decorate our room ? +I think we can have a try . +Artistic tapestry is the highest form of expression of the rug weaving art , an exquisite handicraft of superb artistry in typical Chinese style . +I see . Is this the marvelous landscape in Guiling ? +I think it is . +Which do you prefer , the linen one , the figured dacron or the brocade ? +I prefer the linen one . +I ’ d like to send this parcel to Australia . +Certainly . Could you put it on the scales , so I can check the weight ? +Sure . It ’ s not very heavy . +That ’ s 850 grams . The coasts depends on how you would like to send it . +I see . What are the options ? I suppose airmail is faster and more expensive than surface mail . +That ’ s right . Sending it by airmail will cost twelve dollars and sending it by surface mail will cost eight dollars . +How long will it take to get there ? +Airmail should take four or five days and surface mail should take about two weeks . +It that case , I ’ ll send it by airmail . I ’ d like to send it as a registered parcel . +No problem . That ’ s one dollar extra . +Thanks very much . There ’ s thirteen dollars . +There ’ s you receipt . Goodbye . +Do you have any luggage ? +Yes , a suitcase and carry-on . +Here's your boarding pass . Have a nice flight . +Thank you . +Hey , Ann , I am really sorry about last night . I shouldn't have said those things to you . +I am sorry too . I know we've been talking about this beach trip for a while . I should have told Bob I was busy this weekend . +don't be silly . You guys should spend as much time together as you can . Besides we can go to the beach anytime . +thanks for understanding . +well that's what being friends is about , isn't it ? +hey , what if the three of us go to the beach together ? Besides , you and Bob haven't seen each other for a while . I don't want my best friend and my boyfriend to be complete strangers . +Nah , I wouldn't worry about that . But I don't want to be the third wheel . You two should have some quiet time to yourselves . +I know Bob won't mind . You can bring a date , like that guy from the bar you keep talking about . +maybe ... I'll think about it . +well , I think you should come and have some fun . Besides you never know maybe he likes you as well . You should at least try . +OK . Do you want a trim , or do you want to get your hair done ? +Can I get my hair done like his ? His girlfriend has the same hair , and she's white . +Like that Rastafarian over there ? You mean dreadlocks ? You crazy ! That'll take way too long . +What kind of style are you getting done ? Can we match ? +I'm gonna get a relaxer , then flip the ends up like Halle . +Can I get a relaxer , too ? And why did you say , “ You crazy ” instead of “ You ou're crazy ” ? +How many hours do you work a week ? +I do a forty-hour week . I ’ m on flexi-time . I usually start work at 8 a . m . and finish at 4 +And how many weeks holiday do you get a year ? +Four - plus public holidays . I usually take two weeks off in the summer and the rest at New Year . +Do you do overtime ? +Yes , if we're busy . I'm paid double-time if I work at weekends . +How are you doing ? +Great . Thanks for asking . +What can I do for you today ? +I would like to deposit some money . +Are you depositing cash or a check ? +I want to deposit cash . +How much are you depositing ? +I would like to deposit $ 300 . +What account do you want your money in ? +I want to deposit it into my checking account . +Do you need anything else ? +No . That ’ s all . Thank you . +Beauties Picture , how may I help you ? +I need to speak with David Lin . +He's out of his office . +Thank you , I'll try again later . +Hey , Devi , have you thought about where would you like to go to dinner on Friday for your birthday ? +I am not sure . I don't know that many restaurants around here . +You know , we could look online at the local Internet sites . +Good . Let's take a look ! +What kind of food would you like ? +I enjoy Thai or Japanese the best . +This one , Shogun , looks good . +Oh yes , I've heard of that one . Everyone I've spoken with says that it is great ! +Would you like to go there then ? +I think that that would be a really good choice ! Let's call and make a reservation . +Marry ; Mr . Johnson wants these documents to be copied . +Oh , no . You see I'm in the middle of something . Could he wait ? +I'm afraid ... +All right , all right . He'll get them as soon as possible . +Can I help you ? +Yes , how much is the teapot ? +Two hundred and thirty yuan . +I'm afraid I haven't got enough money on me . +You can come later . +What's the time now ? +It's half past seven . +I want to know at what time you close . +We offer 24 - hour service . +Oh , that's great ! Thank you . +Excuse me , I'm looking for the Holiday Inn . Do you know where it is ? +Sure . It's down this street on the left . +Is it far from here ? +No , it's not far . +How far is it ? +About a mile and a half . +How long does it take to get there ? +5 minutes or so . +Is it close to the subway station ? +Yes , it's very close . The subway station is next to the hotel . You can walk there . +Thanks a lot . +Waiter , bill , please . +Yes , I'll be with you in a minute . Here's your bill , sir . It's 480 yuan altogether . +What's this for ? +That's for the wine . +I see . +Would you like to put it on your hotel bill ? +Yes . please . +Your name and room number , please ? +Bill Black , Room 1201 . +May I have a look at your room card , Mr . Black ? +Sure . Here it is . +How's everything , Janice ? +I sent my resume to a computer company and am waiting for their call . +Which company ? +Pineapple Computer Company . A secretary is needed there , and it is worth a try . Do you get any information or advertisement for employment ? +Yep ! I got some , in which I am interested . But ... +But what ? You always act like this , when you face difficulties . +YOU GET ME ! +All the fears are nothing . You can make it . There is no other choice for you . Be brave . +Seemingly there is no turning back . I have to face it somehow . +It's all or nothing . +It is really exciting news . +What news ? +You don ’ t know ? The company is going to replace these old computers with the latest ones . +You know what we will get ? +We will all get a docking station on our own desk from which you can remove your laptop easily . And if you come back to office , you just reconnect your laptop with docking station . +What docking station ? +This is a kind of socket mounted to your desk . The socket has all the wire connections of the company line and all the other office automation equipments , like fax , copier , a screen , printer and scanner , and it will be very convenient . +Another big step forward in saving on our office equipment , I don ’ t need a desktop anymore . A laptop is enough . +We have a great variety of men's suits , sir.Which particular brand do you prefer ? +Pierre Cardin . +How about this one ? +It look fine.Can I try it on ? +I want to get in shape . I feel like a fence sitter-not really fat , but not really healthy . +I know what you mean . I fit into my clothes , but I'm not always comfortable . +Would you like to get in shape together ? +What do you have in mind ? +How about going to the gym ? There's one really close to work . +I know the one you mean . Do you know how much the memberships are ? +As a matter of fact , they are having a promotion right now . +Let's go after work and take a tour of the facilities . +Oh , my goodness . The traffic is crawling . +I think there is an accident ahead . +We are now running late . +I know . Why don't we take a different route ? +Let me check and look at the map . Yes , there is an exit three quarters of a mile ahead . We ’ ll exit Market Street , head west , then get on the Pennsylvania Freeway . +Ok , let's do that , even though we may have to take a longer way . +Jenny , what's your favorite color ? +I like red . +Now , we're going to draw an apple in your sketch book . What do we use ? +Dad , I want to draw with crayons , can I ? +Why not ? Let's draw the outline of an apple with your pencil first . +Have you had any publications ? +Yes . I have published some articles in China Daily and Economist . +How about your communication skills ? +As a journalist , I have strong communication skills . I am good at both discourse management and strategic competence . +Can I help you ? +Yes . I'd like this shirt to be dry-cleaned . +Sure . When do you want to get it back ? +I have to wear it this afternoon . Do you have a urgent service ? +Yes , but we charge 50 % more and it only takes 3 hours . +OK . How much should I pay ? +30 yuan . +Do you even know where this bus is supposed to go ? +It should take us all the way up to Altadena . +Don't you know ? +I'm not positive if it does or not . +Is this the right bus , or not ? +I have never been on this bus , but I'm sure it's the right one . +Where are we ? This is not Altadena . +I know , and we've been on the bus forever . +Tell me what the street signs say . +Oh my gosh , that one says Temple City . +Next time , I'll look for the bus myself . +Well , now I know the bus that'll take us back . +Joy Chain elementary school , please . +Will do . +How frustrating ! The bus is still not coming . +Ma'am , take your kid to school ? +Yes . I am in a hurry . Please take a shortcut . +No problem . Don't worry , the taxi is faster than the bus . +The traffic is terrible on Monday morning . It takes us almost 1 hour to get to school . +My son is the same . But he always makes an early start in the morning , and enjoys listening to the English programmer Let's talk in English on the way . +That's wonderful . He is killing two birds with one stone.Sir , please turn right at the next corner . And stop at the taxi stand . +OK ! +What is the fare ? +It's 14.5 Yuan . +Keep the change ! +Thanks , Ma'am . +The mailboxes are right down there , and the laundry room with coin-operated washers and dryers is over there . +I see . Well , it's nothing spectacular , but it's pretty cheap for an apartment in a decent neighborhood ... O . K . , I think I'll take it . +All right , do you want to sign a nine-month or a one-year lease ? +I think I'll sign a nine-month lease in case I decide not to go to summer school . I can extend it if I want to stay , can't I ? +Sure . Just let us know before your lease expires . +You did an excellent job in this project . +Thank you . It was a lot of hard work.But I'm glad I did it . +Congratulations . +When will you give me a raise ? +Ha ... I am not sure . +I feel quite embarrassed for having to request a pay raise so quickly . +Let me think . How much did you have in mind ? +5 000 yuan per month . +That's a lot of money . Let me think about it carefully . +What can I offer you here ? +I came here to ask for some information . +Ok . Please go ahead . +I bought a pair of trousers last year , which I like the best . But this year they don ’ t fit me very well . They ’ re tight in the waist , baggy at the knees . Can you make some alterations ? +Oh , we are skillful in doing that . You can trust us . Our shop has a history of more than 20 years . +It seems I find the right place . +Yes , absolutely ! We have a very good reputation in the neighborhood . +When can I have my trousers if I bring it to you tomorrow ? +If you like you can wait here . They will be ready in one hour and a half . +All right . See you tomorrow . +Now darling , I know that we've bought this house together , but it's just going to be far too expensive to decorate it . I think we should sell it . +Oh , no , Nathan , I ... I really think we've bought this flat at the right time , you know . Market prices are going to go up , and I think you'll find in a year or two it will be worth a lot more . +But we're going to spend so much money in furnishing and decorating . I think we could get a much cheaper place that's already furnished . +But don't you like this place ? I remember when we came to see it we thought it would be lovely . +Well , only you liked it really , darling . +Oh , why didn't you say so then ? But I still think we've made a good buy . +That is the most boring , typical gift in the world ! +I know . But this year I want to get him an interesting tie . Like this one . +That's not exactly a conversation piece . It's so plain . +It's perfect ! It's a Dilbert tie ! +The diagonal black and red stripes are really conservative though ... +But watch this ... it bends upwards , just like Dilbert's tie . There's a wire inside . +A fly-away tie ! What a riot ! +Room service.May I help you ? +Yes , the food you have just sent here is cool.Would you please heat them up ? +I am sorry for that.We will send someone to your room right now . +That's fine . Quickly please , we are so hungry . +May I help you ? +Yes , I'm looking for a job as a clerk typist in English . +I'm Mary Kelly . May I ask your name ? +My name is Zhuang Lingy . How are you , Miss Kelly ? +I'm glad to meet you , Mr . Zhuang . Sit down , please . +Thank you , Miss Kelly . +What are your qualifications for being a clerk typist ? +I can type 120 words a minute and I take shorthand at 80 words a minute . +Would you be willing to take a typing and shorthand test ? +Yes , I would . +Your typing and stenography are pretty good . Would you be interested in applying for the job ? +Yes , I'd like to give it a try . +All right . You need to have an interview with our manager , Mr . McBride . Let's go to his office . +Hello . What can I do for you , sir ? +Hi . Fill it up please . Premium . +Sure . +Oh , can you check my oil and tires while you're at it ? +No problem . I'm gonna need you to turn off your engine and open the hood for me . +OK , it's open . +Your oil is fine but your tires are a little flat . +Oh . Where can I add some air to my tires ? +Right here . I'll do it for you . ( Three minutes later ) Your car's ready . +Good . How much does it come to ? +Nine gallons of premium . That's $ 15.32 , please . +Steven , have a rest . Could you have a talk with me ? +OK ! What can I do for you , Madam ? +Janice has just got sick and I need a hand now . Could you come here earlier tomorrow morning ? +When do you want me to come ? +Let me think . About half past seven if it is okay for you . +That's fine . I can make it . +Do you have cheongsams ? +Yes.We have in stock a variety of styles and they are in different colors.What do you think of this one ? +The styte is OK . Which country is this made in ? +It's made in China . The quality is excellent . +Please wrap it . +I would like to ask for one day off next week . Do you think the manager will agree ? I know it is the busy time for our company , but I do have some important things to handle . +Well , it is hard to say . At least you need to come up with a good reason . +Actually , it is my mother ’ s wedding . My parents divorced many years ago . Now she is ready to establish a new family . It is a special occasion . I've got to be there , right ? +Yes , you should be there . Go find the manager and ask . I think the manager will understand and approve you a day off . Don ’ t forget to fill in the leave application form . It will be signed by the manager for approval . +Thank you so much . +Do you have any apartment to rent ? +Yes . Right now I have a studio . +Where is it . +In the downtown , near the square . +Is it furnished ? +Yes , and the rent includes utilities . +That's good . When can I go to see the house ? +What about next saturday . +Fine . +What is this eviction notice for ? +The notice you received is a 30 - day notice to vacate . +Are you kidding me ? +I mentioned to you before that you need to keep up with your rent . This notice to evict is letting you know that I mean business . +You can ’ t just throw me out on the street ! +You have 30 days to catch up on your rent , or a sheriff will evict you . +Will you still throw me out if I make the rent payment ? +You can stay , but you might think about looking for a less expensive living arrangement if you are having trouble making the payments . +I am going to take care of the rent payment right now . +Thank you . The payment needs to be in the form of cash or a cashier ’ s check . +Honey , I think I need to go see the doctor . +Ah ! You're bleeding all over ! What happened ? +I was working in the garage and cut myself with my saw . +Here , use this rag to apply pressure to the cut . Does it hurt ? +No , not really , there's just a lot of blood . +You may just need stitches . I think they can handle this at the clinic instead of the ER . Let me make a quick phone call . +I'm going to go sit in the car while I still have the stomach to walk . +Oh , sorry ! I forgot you get queasy with the sight of blood . I'll be right there . +How about the working hours ? +From 9 to 12 a . m . , and 2 to 6 p . m . +Can I ask for a leave ? +Of course , if necessary . +Are there any other jobs waiting for me in the future ? +Seldom . +That's OK . How can my salary be improved ? +Your quantity sold is beyond the required by more than 30 % . +Excuse me , I'd like to send this parcel . +What's in it , please ? +Just a few shirts . +OK . You may wrap it now . Please fill in this form and label it . ( after a moment ) Would you like it registered ? +No , I'd rather send it by ordinary mail . +Nine dollars and fifty cents . +Here you are . +Here's the receipt . +Thank you so much . +You're welcome . +Look ! It fits you perfectly . It looks great on you and has your name on it . +Really ? What about your opinion , Daniel ? +Devi , do you have any preference for where you would like to go for dinner for your birthday ? +I don't really know where I want to go . I am having trouble thinking of a particular restaurant . +There is a great restaurant directory here in the weekend section of the newspaper . +OK , we could look at that . +Do you have a particular type of food that you would like ? +I really like Japanese or Thai food . +That Japanese restaurant , Shogun , got good reviews . +Oh yeah ! I saw a review of that restaurant on television . The reviewer loved it ! +Would that be a place that you might like to go to for your birthday ? +That would work out great ! Why don't we call and get a reservation ? +Hello , Steven . Annie said that you and Julia have had a quarrel , haven ’ t you ? +That ’ s true . We had an argument yesterday . She blamed me for not preparing the supper that day , but it was her turn to cook the dinner . +That's the reason why you fought ? +Yes . +You two are always quarrelling over little things . +That wasn ’ t my fault , but she said ' you're a disgrace ' to me . I'm about to explode ! +Are you still mad at her now ? +To be honest , I ’ m not , and I regret a little what I have done . +Will you apologize to her ? +No way . It ’ s her who should apologize . +Hello ? +Hello , is that Miss Smith ? +Yes . +This is Mr.Gao . How are you ? +Not too bad , thanks . And you ? +Fine . Listen . Are you free on Wednesday night ? I'd like to invite you to dinner . +I'm terribly sorry , but I've already made arrangements for Wednesday . +That's a pity . How about Thursday ? +That would be fine . +Great . What time would you like to meet ? +Whenever is suitable for you . I have no plans for that day . +OK , let's say 6 +And where would you like to meet ? +I can pick you up at the gate of your company . Also , what type of food do you like ? +I'm not very familiar with Chinese cuisine . What can you recommend ? +Well , have you heard of Peking Duck ? it's a local specialty . +Of course ! Peking Duck is world-famous . I would love to try it . +OK , let's have that then . +All right . Well , I'll see you later . +See you later , goodbye . +What does Human Resources Department do ? +Hiring , firing , training , insurances , benefits , retirement plans , salary , vacation . +They take care of a lot of things . +But most of time , they provide assistances . +What do you mean ? +Say if the Engineering Department wants to hire a person , they will request HR to find candidates . +Yes ? +The Engineering Manager and his team will interview the candidates . HR will also be involved with the interview , but basically arranging the schedule and explaining the benefits . +OK . +Then the Engineering Manager will choose the candidate . +I see . +What are you going to do with that vase , Penny ? +I ’ m going to put it on this table , Sam . +Don ’ t do that . Give it to me . +What are you going to do with it ? +I ’ m going to put it here , in front of the window . +Be careful . Don ’ t drop it ! Don ’ t put it there , Sam . Put it here , on this shelf . +There we are ! It ’ s a lovely vase . +Those flowers are lovely , too . +I am sorry to make you run down to the office for me . +No trouble . I enjoyed helping you . +I need help with my timesheet . +OK , no problem . Have you found the blank ones ? +Yes , I have seen them . +Yes , well put your name on it after you have downloaded it off the company website . OK ? +Yes , I understand what to do . +You fill in the hours and total them for the week . Have you ever used a 24 hour clock ? +What ? Huh ? +So after you noted the hours , starting at zero which is midnight , you just write down the minutes as a dot followed by minutes . Get it ? +Huh ? What ? +Just make sure you show your total , sign it , and turn it in . +I thought you said this was easy . +You are a quick learner . I don't think you'll have any trouble with this . +Mr . Black , when is the earliest shipment you can make ? +In April or early May . +I am afraid shipment by early May would be too late for us . Our customs formalities are quite complicated , and it takes time to distribute the goods to the farmers in our country . The fertilizers must be delivered before April , or else we can't be in time for the spring sowing . +In that case , we will have to improve one month further on the time . Now is Jan . If the fertilizers should be shipped before the end of March , only 2 months are left . The time is too limited . +You understand a timely delivery is very important to us . +All right . You can rest assured that we will do everything possible to advance shipment . The fertilizers will be delivered before April . +Would you like some drinks ? +Yes , what kinds of wine do you have ? +We have various kinds of wine . As for an appetizer , I advise you to order white wine or dry white wine . +Thank you . Please bring us a bottle of dry white wine . +Thank you so much for interviewing me this evening . +Happy to meet with you . Now , do you prefer group projects ? +I like to work alone on some things and then bring those things to the group . +Do you value a steady job more or one that offers a chance to move ahead ? +I want to grow in my job and move ahead . +Could you work for us in another state , if need be ? +I need to stay in the area because of my family . +How much do you need to make per year ? +75,000 per year . +Yikes ! Thanks for your interest in this job . We ’ ll be getting back to you . +There ’ re traffic jams everywhere . +I think something must be done . +Yeah . We should have more roads built . +I agree with you . Only in this way can we ease the traffic problems . +Excuse me , Mr . Emory ? +Yes , Christine ? +Could you tell me where the copier is , please ? +Sure . You just walk down this hallway . The copy room is the second room on the right . +Woo hoo ! This just might be the start of the rest of my life ! +What happened ? +I ’ m in the market for a job ! I went on a website with hundreds of job listings in the area and browsed through them until I got the names of a few employers I would like to work for . I have the resume I wrote for English class last month and a cover letter will be a piece of cake to write . I ’ Ve even done my research and found the names of the managers so I can address the letters personally . And you know I can be charming in interviews . Goodbye my penniless days ! Hello salary and a career ! +Ben , we ’ re fifteen . What kind of job are you looking for ? +Oh , just for a position as a gas station attendant . You know , starting at a simple lowly job , just like all the greats before they made it big in the world . +Uh-huh . +But I ’ m just in it for the money , right ? How else am I going to be able to afford to keep taking Angela to the movies ? Besides , I love the smell of gasoline , don ’ t you ? +I think this painting would look good in our living room . What do you think ? +Sure . Let's buy it . +Hi Michael . +Hi Amy . What's up ? +I'm looking for the airport . Can you tell me how to get there ? +No , sorry . I don't know . +I think I can take the subway to the airport . Do you know where the subway is ? +Sure , it's over there . +Where ? I don't see it . +Across the street . +Oh , I see it now . Thanks . +No problem . +Do you know if there's a restroom around here ? +Yes , there's one here . It's in the store . +Thank you . +Bye . +Mr . Wang , have you enjoyed your stay here ? +Of course , I ’ Ve enjoyed it very much . I ’ Ve met my old friends and made some new friends . +We ’ Ve all enjoyed being with you . When will you come back ? +Sometime next year . +I ’ m looking forward to seeing you again . Take care . +The same to you . Keep in touch . +I'm looking for some fresh produce that's on sale . +Well , we just got in some mangoes . +Mangoes . What are they ? +Well , it's a fruit with a big nut in it . +Can you eat the nut ? +No , you peel off the skin and throw out the nut . +How much are they ? +Well , the sale price is $ 1 each . +What does a mango taste like ? +They're like a citrus fruit . +How do I know if it's ripe ? +You can buy them hard . Wait a few days for them to develop a soft feel . +Where do they come from ? +Most of them in this store are from Mexico . +Yes , I think there is something wrong with my car . +What's the matter ? +When I tried to back it , I found it was out of order . I can't see where the trouble is . +Let me see . +Is it serious ? +No , the damage is minor . +And when will it be OK ? +4:00 p . m .. +OK . Thank you . +How was your morning jog ? +Very good .

Where did you go ? +I just ran alongside the main road . +Oh you ought to go to the park next time . They have a route for joggers there . +Oh ok , I ’ ll try that tomorrow . It ’ ll probably be better than fighting with the traffic ! Go on , why don ’ t you come along ? +Oh ok then , I ’ ll come and watch you ! +May I come in ? +Yes , please . +How are you doing , sir ? +Fine , thank you . Are you coming for the interview as a secretary ? What's your name ? +Please allow me to introduce myself . My name is Li Hua . Nice to meet you . +Nice to meet you , too . Miss Li . please have a seat . I am Peter Smith , the General Manager . +May I help you at all ? +Yes , please . My son wants to go overseas , to England , to do his Master degree . I wondered if you offer any kind of loan that could assist him in doing so ? +We certainly do . I can give you some details about a loan called Personal Loan for Studying Abroad . We offer this to anyone who will study outside this country . +I see . What does it entail ? I'm not sure if we will be eligible . +This loan is specially provided for people who are studying overseas to pay for their tuition fee and other sundry items . +So , we could use it to pay for my son's living expenses , not just his tuition ? +That's right . The sundries could include accommodation , text books and so on . The guidelines are not so strict , you see . +That is good to know . Just think ! We've been worrying about this for weeks and just a short visit here and my mind is at ease . Thank you . +Do you play mahjong ? +Once in a while . +How can I be sure your products are of superior quality , as you promised ? +One of the reasons for our good quality products is because of our quality inspection system , which is the best of its kind . +But a quality inspection system does not mean that each unit will always be up to the standard . +We have trained analyzers to do quality analysis at the end of each part when we make the product . This means that no mistakes are made . +Your salesman also told me that each worker is trained to do quality analysis . Can you tell me a little about that ? +Certainly . We provide quality analysis training as part of the training for all new workers , plus a week of further training every year . +You are from the travel agency , aren't you ? +Yes , are you Mr James ? +Yes , I am . Are you Miss Li from the travel agency ? +That's right . +Do you mind telling me your name ? +Of course not . My name is Li Ping . Is this all your baggage ? +Yes , it is . I usually travel light . +Welcome to Hong Kong . I'll go and get the car . Could you please wait a few minutes ? +Sure , and I'm glad to meet you .

How much is that ? +It comes to $ 15 . +Did you call me , sir ? +Yeah .

Later , you will be assigned to the Sales Department . +I see . It must be a challenging job , but I would like to do it . And what about now ? +For this is your first day in our company , you can begin with our special products . Before you do your job , it's necessary for you to be familiar with our own products . Sort these papers and file them correctly . +OK , I'll get to work on it at once . +Can I help you ? +I hope so . I'm looking for some material for a paper I'm writing , and I'm not quite sure where to look . +I'll certainly try to help you . What topic is your paper on ? +My paper is on the influence of television on children . +There are several possible sources you might use for that topic . I suggest you use the computer and the computer will give you a list of every scientific journal that talks about children and television . +Thank you for you help . +This section of the store is called Junior . Why is that ? +It means young girls .

You will be there in time for your flight . +IBA , Client Services Department . Shelley speaking , how can I help ? +Client Services ? Oh , hello . I need your help . +Certainly , that's what we're here for . What can I help you with ? +I'm a tourist in this city and unfortunately I've lost my card ! +Calm down , Sir . Is that an IBA Debit or Credit Card ? +Credit Card . The International Credit Card , I can't find it anywhere . +Just calm down , Sir . OK , when do you think you lost it ? +I'm not 100 % sure , around an hour ago I guess . I had it in the hotel lobby bar ; I used it to charge something to my room . I obviously didn't pick it up again . +That's fine , Sir . Let me just take some details FRCM you and we can help you . +Thank you . Thank you very much . +Sir , how can I help you ? +I'd like a one-inch photo for my interview . +OK , please take a seat . Look at here . Head up .

Will he be back soon ? +I'm afraid not . He is away for the rest of the day . +Is there any other way I can reach him ? +I'm afraid not , he has gone out of this town on business . May I take a message ? +I have a business appointment with him at ten o'clock tomorrow morning , but I'm afraid I can't make it . +Would you like to make another appointment ? +Unfortunately , I'm leaving here unexpectedly , and I may be away for several days . +I see . I'll tell Mr.Tomas you've called . +Thank you . +Oh man ! I ’ Ve been starving myself for days now and I haven ’ t lost an ounce ! +Are you trying to lose weight ? +Yeah , my friend is getting married next month and I ’ m supposed to be a bridesmaid . I have to fit into my dress and look nice for her wedding , but I haven ’ t lost any weight ! Look at these love handles . +You don ’ t have to starve yourself to lose weight . I think that ’ s where you ’ re going wrong . +Why ? If I eat less , then my body will start eating away at my fat reserves , right ? +Not really . You should try to not eat foods high in calories , salts or saturated fats . Stay away from oily food and artificial flavors . +So you are saying that I should eat , but I should just watch what I eat ? +Yes ! You can also try to reduce your intake of carbohydrates and foods that are high in cholesterol . You can have steamed veggies or increase your protein intake found in chicken or fish . +If I do all this do you think I can lose twenty pounds in four weeks ? +Don ’ t count on it . +Thank you all for coming to our monthly staff correlation meeting . Today we have a lot of new things to introduce to you all , there will be a lot of changes in company policy to accommodate better employee welfare . +Employee welfare ? What all does that include ? +In the past , our welfare program has consisted of benefits packages only , meaning partial health insurance coverage and retirement plan . But we hope to boost morale by increasing incentives and adding additional welfare considerations . +What kind of considerations are we talking about ? +It is proposed that from now on , employees will be given 10 paid sick days , in addition to their 2 week vacation periods . They will also be encouraged to maintain proper physical health with a company sponsored aerobics class on Friday nights . We have also consulted with the human resource department and have hired a new liaison between management and employees . Let ’ s all welcome Ms .

Her job is to have your best interest at heart . +I have finished filling in the forms . Can I go to my room now ? +Yes , here's your key . The bellboy will take you to your room . +Thank you . +You like this china tea set , don't you ? +Yes , but can you show me the other colour ones ? +Sure.How about the brown one ? +No , I don't like the brown one . +The blue one ? +Good , I like it . +You've made a good choice.This china tea set is unusual.It was made in Jingdezhen . +It is extremely beautiful.This is the very thing I've been dreaming of.Please put in a gift box for me . +Yes , sir . +Can you make a suit for me to measure ? +Sure .

If you do , you might get a lot of spam-unwanted email form companies trying to sell you things . +That ’ s good advice .

However , I believe planning and probable management of my time can reduce tight deadlines . +Are you more a follower or a leader ? +I don ’ t try to go ahead of people and lead them , I ’ d rather cooperate with everybody else and get the job done by working together . +May I speak to Marry ? +She's in a meeting until noon . +Ok , I'll try her back then . +Ok , thank you . +What's your products ' competitive edge ? +You have probably noticed that our products ' prices are competitive .

Before I decided to quit that position , I had made a thorough analysis of things like what I would gain and what I would lose here in your company . You know , Shanghai is always a fascinating place to me , full of challenges as well as hopes . In addition to this , I have the specialized knowledge and the necessary experience of making a good . Of course , opportunities to work abroad and a higher salary are also important to me . So I believe it ’ s worthwhile to come here to work . +Why did you pick this organization ? +I'm very much interested in the position . +What made you decide to join our company ? +I believe I would have better opportunities with a small but rapidly expanding company like yours . +Did you already wash your clothes today ? +I've only washed my white clothes . +Could you wash some of my dark clothes with yours ? +Is there any special care I should take with your clothes ? +The only thing is that they have to be washed on the gentle cycle . +Are there a lot of clothes ? +There aren't a lot of clothes , do you have a lot to wash ? +It's a medium load . +You don't mind , do you ? +No big deal .

I know you have never had Indian food , so I thought you might want to try . +That sounds great ! I am craving some type of beef dish . +Well , Indian cuisine actually doesn ' t serve beef . You see , cows are a sacred animal , a very important element in the Hindu religion , so beef is not eaten . +I see , so what are we having ? Chicken ? +There are many amazing dishes to choose from . We can have some chicken tikka masala which is an amazing curry . It ' s a bit spicy , but I think you can handle it . +Sounds good ! I have always heard that Indian spices give a rich flavor to food . +Yeah . Also , we can have some Naan bread which is baked in a tandoori oven . Since you don ' t use any utensils to eat , you can use this bread to scoop up the curry or rice . +What about veggies ? +They have a good variety of vegetable-based dishes like talak panter , vegetable samosas or daal . +It all sounds exquisite !

Size 16 . +Would you like to try this one on ? +Yes . It's a bit tight . Have you got a bigger one ? +All right . How about this one ? +Yes , that's fine . I'll take it . Can I pay by check ? +Of course , madam . +It's Sunday today . +Yes , I know . +I think we should have a house cleaning today . What's your opinion ? +Oh , no . We just did it last week . +Come on . What do you want to do ? Washing clothes or cleaning the house ? +I'd rather wash the clothes . +Okay . Here is the laundry . +Oh , My God ! So much ! +Don't worry . I'll help you with it later . +We need to call an emergency meeting as soon as possible about this . +OK . Let me send a memo around . +Schedule it for this afternoon , when Ken gets back . +I don ’ t think he ’ s back today . +Oh , that ’ s right . Go ahead anyways . I ’ ll fill him in .

What decade are you looking for ? +Do you have anything made in the 1920s ? +We have six . +Do any of them have dancing figures ? +Actually , two of them have dancing figures . +That's fantastic . I think I like this one . +A good choice . I prefer that one myself . +Now , is there any warranty with this ? +Oh , no , I'm afraid not . These things are just too old to guarantee anything . +I understand . +Even if they break down , they're still works of art . +Shall we start decorating the bedroom ? +I've already started . +When ? +This afternoon . +May I take your order ? +We haven't decided yet . Could you give us a little longer ? +Yes , take your time , please . +Can we get something to drink ? We want two bottles of beer . +Fine . +Could you tell us your specials today ? +The special today is steak . +We'll take this steak dinner . +What would you like to go with your steak ? +Peas and carrots . +I see . What would you like for dessert ? +Icecream , please . +Let's see . I had the salmon starter which was £ 5.90 and my Pizza was £ 8.25 . +I had the soup and bruschetta which all together is £ 4.50 and my trout for the main course was £ 12 . +So that's £ 14.15 for me and £ 16.50 for you . +Yes and shall we go fifty-fifty for the wine ? +Yes , so that's an extra £ 6 for both of us . +So now your bill comes to £ 20.15 and I need to pay £ 22.50 . +And I had a dessert - that's another £ 3.50 . And you had coffee which is £ 2 . +And is that all ? +Yes , this is everything on the list . +So now my bill is £ 24.50 and yours come to £ 23.65 . Is that correct ? +Yes , that's exactly it . How much tip shall we give the waiter ? +I think £ 5 would be good . +Hello ! Is Mr . Green there ? +Speaking . May I ask whom I am talking to ? +This is Li with Silk Company . We met last Sunday during the exhibition . +Oh , yes . I remember your company . +Thank you for visiting our products . I remember that you are interested in our silk products and so , could I have a meeting with you this week to show you moreinformation about our products ? +I'd like to , but I'm afraid that my schedule is full this week . +What about next week ? Is it convenient for you ? +Am . How about 10 a . m . on next Friday ? +Any time you say is OK . +All right , expecting you . +Where did you study accounting ? +I studied at Anshan University . +Did you intern anywhere ? +Yes , I interned with an accounting firm during tax season . +That must have been stressful . +Yes , but I learned a lot . +I'll bet . +I learned about different tax laws and how they work . +Hello . Mr . Zhang . It's Mary . +Yes , Mary ? +I'm afraid we're really staffed this week , Mr . Li . I'd like to meet you , but I'm sorry I really can't . +Are you telling me you're not going to meet with me ? +Not at all , sir . I'd just like to delay our meeting to next week , I'll have time at the beginning of next week . +Well , I don't like it , but I guess I don't have any choice . +How about Monday morning at 9 a . m . ? +OK , I'll go to your office at that time . +Good afternoon , Mrs . White . +Good afternoon , Mr . Black . Haven't seen you for a long time . Can I help you ? +Can I see Mr . Cooper , your manager now ? +Let me see if he is free . Would you please sit down and wait for a moment ? +All right . +The manager will come to see you in a few minutes . +Thanks a lot , Mrs . White . +You are welcome . +Jack , I think it's best that I actively ask for the results of interview . +That's a good idea ! So you don't need to worry about it . +I think so , too . What do you think about that I write a letter of inquiry to the company ? +It's OK . You could send an email to the employer via the internet . +Good idea . It is convenient and fast . +You could inquire about the results directly , but should be politely . +Certainly . +I think the letter of inquiry should be written briefly . If it's too long , I'm afraid the employer won't have time to read it . +I think that about one hundred words are enough . +After you send the letter of inquiry , you should pay close attention not to miss any reply . +OK , I know now . +Excuse me , Mr . Rodriguez ? Could I speak with you for a moment ? +I can ’ t just now , Susan . Could we get together this afternoon ? What ’ s it about ? +Well , I ’ d like to talk about my new contract with you , if that ’ s all right . +Oh , that ’ s right . Is that time of the year , huh ? That ’ s fine . How about if we meet at 3:30 this afternoon ? +George , did you remember to buy the book ? +Sorry , darling , I forgot . +When will you buy it then ? +I promise you'll have it tomorrow . +Well , I ’ d better get back to work . I ’ Ve got a ton of stuff on my desk ! +Me too . I ’ ll see you after work , huh ? +Yeah , definitely . I was hoping to catch a ride with you . +Sure . Meet me at five . +The boss had an informal discussion with me this morning , I feel really down . +What ’ s up ? +Well , actually I failed to meet a deadline last week and I forgot to answer an e-mail for a VIP customer yesterday . +Anything that distracts you from work ? +Yes , everything . I feel overwhelmed by the daily work . Sometimes , I just can ’ t focus on what I am doing . What is worse , though I make plans for a whole week , I always have to make changes later on because other things come up . I can ’ t manage my time well . I can ’ t handle work well . I am afraid I was screw up more things . +Look , Lucy . Things are not so bad as you said . This is our company ’ s busiest time in a year . You need to relax a little . Don ’ t push yourself too hard , ok ? +Well , I will try . +Oh , no ! My stub ! I can't believe it — I flushed it down the toilet ! +Excuse me , madam ! You parked in the handicapped spot . +But , but ... it was really an emergency ! And , my stub ... +Don't tell me you lost it . +Ah , umm , kind of . +That was quick . +Well , I , umm , I flushed it ... +Oh , there is something wrong with my car . +Your car is rather old.Why not change a new one ? +I want to change a new car . I like Honda best , especially the red one.But it is too expensive . +Oh , there is a car exhibition tomorrow afternoon . I have two tickets.Would you like to go there with me ? +Yeah.Maybe I can find my favorite car in addition to Honda . +And the bank will offer you loans for twenty years ! +Those are today ’ s top stories . Now let ’ s go to John for the weather . John , what does the forecast look like for our weekend travelers ? +I ’ m afraid we ’ re in for a rough weekend , Marry . There is a storm system moving through the East Coast . It will be drizzling all day today , and there ’ s a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms this evening . It will be warm and humid all weekend . In the Midwest , expect strong winds and a low of around 40 degrees . +That ’ s pretty chilly for the summer ! Will it rain on Saturday ? +Unfortunately , yes . It will be clear early Saturday morning but there is a high chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the day . There is a severe thunderstorm warning for some parts of the Southeast . Folks in those areas might see some hail and flooding , especially in areas that have been experiencing record high rainfalls . +That certainly sounds like a dreary Saturday . +It gets better on Sunday , though . The storm systems move east and the skies will clear up at night . It will still be rather cool , with highs in the low 50s . The West Coast will be experiencing some unusually chilly weather , but at least the sun will come out . I advise weekend travelers to be careful , especially while driving . Back to you , Mark . +Thanks John , and there you have it ! Looks like it ’ s a weekend to stay at home ! +Do you have any English newspapers ? +Yes , just over there . +I'd like to see some Mandarin textbooks too . Do you have any ? +Yes , they are just next to the newspapers actually . +Thank you . +Come on , darling . We haven't got much time . +All right . I'm nearly ready . What time does the bus leave ? +Half past six ... and it's half past six already . +Oh , we've got plenty of time . +We haven't . Hurry up ! +All right . Let's go . +And about time too ! +John , could you come to my office ? I need to talk to you . +Sure . I'll be there as soon as I finish this document . +No . Come here right now . +OK . +What's the matter ? +I'm sorry to say that we have to let you go , John . +Why ? I work very hard . +Well , you're working very hard but not efficiently . And you don't work well with other employees . +Well , some of those other guys are not the same kind I'd like to communicate with , but if that's important to you . I'll try to get along with them . +I'm afraid it's too late . We are downsizing our workforce and you'll have to go . +It's unfair . +We can give you the option of residing rather than being fired , because it will look better on your resume when you apply for another job if you resign . +OK . I need to think about that for a while . +All right , but let me know your decision before the end of the day . +Thank you for coming so quickly . +No problem . What ’ s wrong ? +A pipe in my apartment is leaking . +Where is the pipe ? +The pipe is in my bathroom . +Can you tell me how long the pipe has been leaking ? +The pipe has been leaking for a couple days . +You do realize that I will need to rip down your wall to get to the pipe , right ? +Yes , I ’ m aware of that . +Is that all right ? +I just need the problem fixed . +I ’ ll get started on it now . +What do you think of this dress ? Do you think it suits me ? +Sure . Why don ’ t you try it on ? The fitting room is over there . +It ’ s just the right size-a perfect fit ! Have you seen anything you like ? +I ’ m thinking about buying this sweater . I know it ’ s june now , but it will be perfect for autumn and winter . +It looks too big for you , but I like the color and the material is good quality . Is it on sale ? +Yes , it ’ s half price . It ’ s supposed to be too large-that ’ s the fashion . +I might get one too , but in a different colour . I prefer light blue to while . +There . It looks great , don ’ t you think ? I ’ m going to get these jeans as well . I need a new pair . I need a new pair . I ‘ m also going to buy this scarf ready for winter . +I ’ m getting this beret – doesn ’ t it look cool ? I ’ d like to get some jeans too , but I don ’ t have enough cash on me . +Don ’ t worry . I ’ Ve got my credit card . You can pay me back later . +Thanks ! Now I don ’ t need to come back to the shop a second time . +These two sections need to be re-written , Jerry . The last guy that did this really mixed things up . +Yeah , I could tell that . That ’ s no problem . I can probably get it re-done by tomorrow . When ’ s our meeting with the boss ? +Not until next week , I think , the 15th . +Then , we ’ Ve got plenty of time . +Flight BE 407 to Rome is delayed . Will passengers please wait in the lounge ? +Oh , how annoying ! +The time of departure will be announced as soon as possible . +Is's infuriating ! I have to be in Rome by five . +Which department do you want to register with ? +I want to see a dentist . +Please pay the registration fee , 10 Yuan . +OK , thank you . +Is this our bus stop ? +I think this is it . Get off . +Dude , where are we at ? +I have no idea . +I thought this was the right stop . +It doesn't look right to me . +Did you make us get off early ? +I think we did . +I should not have listened to you . +I really thought this was our stop . +Now we have to walk . +Maybe we should just wait for the next bus . +Good morning , madam . Can I help you ? +Good morning . I ’ m looking for a new jacket . +Our jackets are over here next to coats and accessories . +I like this jacket . Can I try it on ? +Of course . The changing rooms are over there . +Thanks . +can I see these silk ties ? +No problem . +I ’ ll take this one . +Good . Anything else ? The tie pins ? The cuff links ? +No , thank you . I want to have a look at that scarf . +Ok . We have several kinds of scarves here . Let me get them for you . Just wait a minute . +Oh . I like this one . I have been looking for this color and design . Please wrap it for me , and I ’ ll take it . +This is the rush hour . +I noticed there ’ s a jam a few blocks away . +Let ’ s drive off this road . +I ’ m afraid I ’ ll be late . +So , are we all ready to go ? +Yup , I think so . The car ’ s packed , we have munchies and music , and the map ’ s in the car . +Did you get the camera ? +Got it ! Did you fill up the tank ? +Yup , it ’ s all set . +You ’ re sure we ’ re not forgetting anything ? +I ’ m sure ... we ’ Ve got all our bases covered . +Well , let ’ s get going then ! I love road trips ! +Um ... do you think we can make a pit stop ? +But we ’ Ve only been on the road for ten minutes . +I know , but I forgot to go to the bathroom before we left . +Excuse me , have you got any laundry ? The laundryman is here to collect it . +Yes , I have . Here are my blouse , coats and stockings . +Anything else ? +Oh , yes . My husband also has some laundry . This is his suit and here is his pajamas . +Are they to be dry-cleaned ? +Oh , no . Only the suit and coat are to be dry-cleaned . I want to have my blouse tomorrow evening . And I'd like the collar and cuffs starched . +Yes , but not too stiff , right ? +Exactly . Is it possible to have my overcoat dry-cleaned , too ? +There are a few spots on it . I am afraid you will not have it tomorrow . Dry-cleaning usually takes three days . +Oh , no . I also need this tomorrow evening . +In that case , I suppose I could ask the dry-cleaner to clean up the spots for the moment , and have it well pressed . You might get it back on time then . +That's a good idea . +By the way , a cotton came off your shirt you gave me the day before yesterday . +Yes , I noticed it yet . +The laundry has sewed on a new button for you . +Oh , thanks a lot . +I am afraid the new one is not exactly the same as the others . +Never mind , it doesn't matter . +If you have any more laundry , please just leave it in the laundry bag behind the bathroom door . The laundryman comes to collect it every morning . +We are sorry for our fault . +I do hope this undesirable incident will not stand in the way of our future business . +Thank you for your understanding . +I'm going to take a nap . +You should unplug the phone . +That's a good idea . +Do you want me to wake you in an hour ? +No , thanks . Just let me sleep until I wake up . +I'll start dinner at 6:00 . +Okay . I think I'll be awake by then . +If not , your nose will wake you up . +You mean I will smell the food cooking ? +You might even dream about dinner . +I don't think I'm going to dream about anything . I'm really tired . +Have a nice nap . +I really feel like eating a salad . +What kind are you going to make ? +I'm really not sure . +I really like Caesar salads . +Caesar salads are pretty good . +What kind of salad do you want to make ? +I want a salad with some chicken . +I love chicken salads . +I like my salads to have croutons , almonds , and shredded cheese . +That sounds really tasty . +You should make a salad like that . +I think that I will . +I want to buy a rain coat . Could you please show me one ? +With pleasure . What color do you like ? +I like yellow best . How much does it cost ? +It costs 275 yuan , Miss . +It's nice , but that's very steep for a rain coat . Could you give me a 20 percent discount ? +Sorry , we don't give discounts . +In that case , I don't think I'll buy one here . +Where did this come from ? +I have no idea . +It sure is hot . Why don't we go in the Haunted House ? At least it will be air conditioned . +I've told you a thousand times . I don't want to go in the Haunted House.It ' s too scary ! +Well . Maybe I'll go alone then . I really don't want to miss it . +Go alone if you want . I will wait at that cafe and have a soda . +It might take a long time . Because there is a line , you know . +I know . But if you don't go in the Haunted House , you won't be happy.So I will wait for you . It's no problem . +Thanks . +How was it ? +I'm sorry it took so long . +Don't worry about it . But how was it ? +Is there a vacant table for 2 right now ? +I am sorry , sir . All the tables have been booked . +what a pity . +Would you mind waiting in the lounge for 10 minutes ? I am sure I can arrange you a table then . +OK . +Hello , Mr Mayhew . How are you today ? +I'm just fine , thanks , Jane . I'd like to make a withdrawal from my Current Account , please . +Would you like a balance inquiry first , Mr Mayhew ? +That might be a good idea , yes . +Your balance is 21,290 RIB . How much would you like to take out today ? +I think 2,000 RIB will suffice , thanks . +Actually , I have a suggestion for you . We've started a new service called Entrusting Deposit Combination - Have you heard about this ? +No , I don't think I have . But I would like to hear the full details , if you think it'll be beneficial to me . +Excuse me , I'm afraid you've parked in the wrong spot . +Oh , really ? Isn't this spot C408 ? +No , it's D408 , my parking space . I have already paid for it . +I'm sorry , I must have been confused . I had thought it's C section , but actually it's D section . I'll move my car right away . +It's no big deal . Thank you . +What's your favorite magazine ? +Off hand , I'd say the Reader's Digests is my favorite . +What kind of magazine is it ? +It's instructive and inspiring . +Really ? It is a weekly , isn't it ? +No , it's a semimonthly . +Does it enjoy popularity among the young generation ? +Yes , it's so popular that it's sold out as soon as it reaches the bookstores . +Oh , I think I should try to read one . +I lost track of time , am I late ? +Yes . What kept you from arriving on time ? +My friend needed me to help him . +I realize that everyone has emergencies ; just get here on time from now on . +I will try . My apologies . +I appreciate you saying that and would like you to join us in our meeting . +Sure , I'll sit right here . +Wonderful , does anyone have any questions about this project ? +I am confused about the projected revenues . +I'm glad that some of you get it , but let's go over it once more . +Jimmy , I ’ d like to wear this robe for tonight cocktail party . What do you think of it ? +Don ’ t dress like that . You ’ ll make fool yourself . You look stupid in that robe . +What ? But it is my favorite piece of clothing . +Maybe it is . But it ’ s out of fashion . +What am I going to do ? +Let ’ s go downtown and pick up some fashionable clothes for you . +Is this the right bus for the Grand Hotel ? +Oh , no . You should take the No . 14 tram . +Where can I take it ? +Two blocks down the street . +May I help you ? +Yes . I'm sorry , but I've lost my passbook . +Well . Can you tell me how much you have deposited ? +About RIB 12,000 . +Please let me have your name and your savings account number if you remember it . +I'm Bob Brown . But I can't recall my account number . +Don't worry , Mr . Brown . Let me try to check it for you . One moment , please . Yes , I have your account number here . The balance is exactly RIB 12,000 +Thank goodness . It is still there . Thank you very much . +It's my pleasure .

She thinks something will go wrong . +Don't tell me she's been listening to the fortune-teller again . +You guessed it . She says we have to get married on January 2nd , or we'll have bad luck . +The day we choose to get married could never be an unlucky day . +My mom just wants everything to be perfect for us . +I heard Nick found a job in a bank and his salary is said very high . I also want to work there . +Will this do ? Your major is not related to banking , as you know . +I know that , but making a lot of money makes me crazy . +Money is not the only standard to decide your career . In fact , there are more important things you can refer to when evaluating your career . If I were you , I would choose one I like to do . +Actually , I am afraid I will be stuck in the job forever , if I choose a bad one . +Don't worry . We can always change our careers , when we are unsatisfied with them . +Room Service . May I help you ? +This is Room 603 . I'm afraid that the heating system doesn't work . It's very cold here . +Have you switched on the radiator ? +Yes . I have switched it on for a long time . The room is still very cold . +We're terribly sorry for that . We'll send our staff io fix it now . Or do you want to change your room ? +I prefer not to move first . +OK . Is it convenient for us to come now ? +Yes , please . +How's your job search going ? +I only started looking for a job a few days ago . +have you finished compiling your resume ? +yes , I was precise with every word in my resume ? +that's good . Don't forget to design the format . An attractive format is as important as the content . +absolutely , I've highlighted all my strengths and the resume is clear and easy to read . +good . How about your cover letter ? +a cover letter ? I've never thought about that . Won't a CV do for my job application ? +no , a CV is not enough . You should also attach it with a cover letter . Don't overlook it . You're faced with fierce competition in the job market . If your cover letter cannot stand out in the pile of +sounds reasonable.Even if I'm the right one for the job , many people are applying for the same vacancy at the same time , so I should try my best to catch the Human Resources manager's attention . +yes , you're right . All your preparation efforts are to help you land a job interview . +got it . I'll start right now . +I've been told you might have a vacant room . +Yes , I have a spare room . +Would it be okey to look at the room , now ? +Would you come here in twenty minutes ? We're right in the middle of dinner . +This apartment looks nice . +Yes , it has two bedrooms . That's convenient . +How much is the rents ? +2,500 yuan a month . +This apartment is nice , but I'd like to find a cheaper one . +Hello ? Ms . Patterson ? This is Bill from Workmate calling . I'm just wondering if you had a chance to look over the estimate I sent for your gala dinner project next month ... As I said in my email , we can help you with production according to your needs , but we will only be able to give insite management support services on a limited basis . +Oh , yes . I reviewed your estimate . But it seems like the project blueprint you sent with the estimate is not quite what we had in mind . Did you get a copy of the specs for this project ? +Yes , I have several copies , but they're all different versions ... The latest I have is version 12 , is that current ? +No . Later we decided to opt for the prior outline , version 7 . +Hold on , let me pull up your version 7 requirements ... Oh yes , no wonder our estimate is a little different from what you had in mind . I see the version 7 also includes 6 additional hostesses and a cocktail self-serve bar that wasn't in the version 12 . That will definitely add to your cost on this project ... +Home at last . Tonight we have a lot of homework though . +Are you saying we don ’ t have time to watch our favorite show tonight ? Jane , you know I really don ’ t like our teacher all that much . He gives far too much homework . He criticizes me in front of everyone all the time . +To tell the truth , I don ’ t really like him either . He ’ s kind of boring and not very active . He always looks unhappy too . +Yes , and he also ... +Do you think we should be talking about him like this behind his back ? +Probably not . After all he is our teacher . We should try to find something nice to say . If you can ’ t say something nice you shouldn ’ t say anything at all . +I absolutely agree . It ’ s getting dark . We should finish our homework now . +All right . I want to take a shower first , I ’ m exhausted . +Mr . Reynolds ? Rick Murphy . I ’ m the accounting manager for Macmillan and Emory , Incorporated . +Nice to meet you . How can I help you ? +I would like to meet with you to discuss some discrepancies on our payroll account . +Certainly , Mr . Murphy . Could you come to my office this afternoon at 2:30 ? +Shall I make some coffee , Jane ? +That's a good idea , Charlotte . +It's ready . Do you want any milk ? +Just a little please . +What about some sugar ? Two teaspoonfuls ? +No , less than that . One and a half teaspoonfuls please . That's enough for me . That was very nice . +Would you like some more ? +Yes , please . I'd like a cigarette , too . May I have one ? +Of course . I think there are a few in that box . +I'm afraid it's empty . +What a pity ! +It doesn't matter . +Have a biscuit instead . Eat more and smoke less ! +That's very good advice ! +Do you like chocolates ? +It depends . +Do you like coffee ? +Um . It ’ s delicious . +And do you like English food ? +Not all of it . +Hi.Mike . +Hi , Peter ! How are you ? +Fine , thanks.And you ? +Very well , thanks . +This will be your office here . +Really ? Wow , it is great . +We try to get everyone in the upper management team a nice office . +I suppose so . It's great . +I'm glad you like it . +Yes , is there a coffee machine around here ? +Yes , we have a coffee machine and some other beverages in the break room . +Where is the break room ? +It's just down the hall , the fourth door on your right . +Got it . +You can always call me if you need anything and I will get it for you . +Thank you . +What are you thinking ? +I ’ m thinking about where we shall spend our vocation . +It ’ s about 7 o ’ clock . let ’ s have our breakfast first . +Ok , dear.We will be late . +What do you want ? +A ham salad sandwich . +Sorry , I didn ’ t prepare this . +Then , I ’ d like some eggs and bread for breakfast instead . +Ok , I ’ ll have it sent to you immediately . +alright , tell me what you think . +don't you think it ’ s a bit bright ? +yeah , maybe you ’ re right . How about this outfit ? +that dress looks lovely on you , but it ’ s not very practical , is it ? +no , I don't have an plans to go to a formal dance any time soon , but I love the way it looks . I just had to try it on ! What do you think about this ? It ’ s casual , yet sophisticated . +I like the jeans , but you need something to go with the top . It ’ s too plain on its own . +how about this scarf , these earrings , and an anklet ? +that might be going overboard a bit . How about just that scarf with a bracelet ? +that ’ s a good idea . You have a lot of good fashion sense . +thanks . You ’ d be ok on your own . There are loads of fashion victims out there , and you are not one of them . Have you tried it on yet ? +yep . Here it is . What do you think ? +that looks great . Just one more thing---you need some high heels with those jeans . Do you want a pair with a plain pattern or ones with a leopard print on them ? +the leopard print sounds fabulous . Are they a name brand ? +no , they ’ re a Prada knock-off for 1/10 of the price of the real thing . +that ’ s even better than the real thing . +if I were you , I ’ d buy that now while it ’ s on sale . If you spend more than $ 100 , you get a $ 50 voucher for more clothes . +it ’ s too bad I did all that shopping yesterday ! +OK . I just saw a Versace for thirty dollars . This stuff can't be real ! +Most of it is . You should sign up . +I'm not sure I'd want to give these people my credit card number . +Didn't you read about Paypal and Bidpai ? They are very safe . +Sure , but it's so complicated . They asked for my credit card authorization number . +That's the last three or four numbers on the back of your credit card where your signature is . +I have trouble understanding all these forms ... but I'm sure I'll get it . +Janice , do you still remember how our filing system works ? +Yes , I have read the Filling Instruction carefully , since you showed me it last week . +Very good . What is the essence of filing , do you know ? +The essence of filing I remember is to bring together in a single folder or file all papers relating to a particular subject . And outgoing and incoming letters are kept in this file cabinet . +Yes , ' One customer--one file ' is essential . And remember to update them timely . +And each file should be named clearly , either in block capitals or in jet black typed capitals . +Correct . +A card index is very important in the filing system . It is a most helpful friend to a secretary , so it must be kept handy and up to date . +Yes , prompt and careful filing contributes greatly to the efficiency of our office . +Mom , will you tuck me in tonight ? +Sure , honey . I'll read you a bed time story , too . +I hope I don't have any nightmares tonight . +Don't worry , you'll sleep well tonight . +Thanks for tucking me , Mom . +Evan , are you busy right now ? +Not really . What ’ s up ? +Well , I need a hand with the fax machine . My fax is not going through . +I ’ m kind of useless in that area , but I ’ ll take a look at it . +Ah , thanks . +Excuse me.Could you please tell me where the train station is ? +It's two blocks down the road . +Excuse me.Would you like a drink before your meal ? +Pardon me ? +Would you like a drink ? +Oh , I see . I'll have beer , please . +OK.Here you are . +Thank you.How much is it ? +Well , all the drinks including beer are free of charge . +Are you sure ? Then , I will have more beer , please . +Don't worry.We will come back again a little later . +So can we play PlayStation later ? +Sure , if you're done ! +All my games are so lame , Mom . When can I get a new one ? +Well , listen , Honey , you've been a big help lately ... +Right on . I'm gonna get a new game ! +If you take out the garbage and do the dishes , I'll think about it . +I knew there would be a catch ! +Nothing in life is free , Son . +Except housework , that is . +Excuse me , please show me that business suit , the dark one . +OK . +May I try it on ? +Go ahead . +What kind of account do you prefer ? Checking account or savings account ? +I would like to open a checking account . +Ok , please just fill out this form and show us your ID card . +Here you are . +Is my car ready yet ? +I don't know , sir . What's the number of your car ? +It's LF 312 G . +When did you bring it to us ? +I bought it here three days ago . +Ah yes , I remember now . +Have your mechanics finished yet ? +No , they're still working on it . Let's go into the garage and have a look at it.Isn ' t that your car ? +Well , it was my car . +Didn't you have a crash ? +That's right . I drove it into a lamp post . Can your mechanics repair it ? +Well , they're trying to repair it , sir .

I've almost finished.You always keep the room neat and tidy , I must say.It saves me a lot of work , but you should let me do it . +It doesn't take much time . I ' m used to tidying up my room myself . +It's very considerate of you to do so.Do you have any laundry today ? +I have a suit that needs cleaning . +Let me have it , please . I'm taking some laundry downstairs anyway . +May I see the manager of your office ? +I'm afraid he's having an important meeting now . Can I help you ? +Thank you .

Can you please tell me about your responsibilities ? +Yes . I was in charge of profit and loss for the northwest region of Canada . As a manager , I was directly responsible for a 50 % increase in sales over a four-month period . +What , do you believe , are some of the key attributes that helped you to achieve such an outstanding increase in sales ? +I believe persistence and perseverance are key attributes . +This broth is wonderful . What's in it ? +Lamb and beef . It will get even tastier when we add the veggies ! +Hey ! Watch out ! You're using the same spoon for both broths ! +So ? +You're getting that hot stuff in my mild broth ! +You'll be OK .

Whenever I go to a bar , I usually play for a few hours . +did you play a lot of games when you were little ? +my parents used to love to play checkers and dominoes . We used to have family tournaments every weekend . +do you still like playing those games ? +not at all . I never really did , to be honest . What about you ? Did your family used to play games together ? +everyone in my family really enjoys playing card games . +some of my friends play cards on the internet . Have you ever tried that ? +no , I prefer to play with people I know . +how about mah-jong ? +it's a popular game with some people , but I've never played it . +I thought everyone in your country were experts at mah-jong ! +I hate to disappoint you , but unlike what most people think , we aren't all exactly the same ! +How can I help you ? +Yes , I would like to look at some of your products . +Did you have anything specific in mind ? +Well , to be honest , I mostly use Sarah Winter products now.But I'm not happy with them .

And I want to consider your eye shadow too.Do you have a color chart I can look at ? +We have a very wide selection of colors.And our eye shadow is specially designed to moisturize the skin.So it is very gentle on your eyelids . Would you like to sample some ? +Oh , sure . I will need to clean off my own eye shadow first . +I can help you with that . +Thank you . +Hello , I ’ d like to speak to Kate . +I ’ m sorry she is not in at the moment . Can I take a message ? +It ’ s ok . I ’ ll call her back latter . Thank you . +You ’ re welcome . +Your prices seem a little high . +We could make it lower for you . What's your counter-offer ? +We make a counter-offer to you of $ 150 per metric ton F . O . B . London . +If you order in large lots , we'll accept the price . +OK . We will increase our order . +All right , as a token of friendship , we accept your counter-offer . +I'm glad that we've settled the price . +Good morning . How can I help you ? +I'd like to open a new account . +Have you filled out an application form ? +Yes . And I've brought some documents along with me , too . Do you need to see my passport ? +Yes . I'll just have my assistant look over these quickly and then we'll move on to the next step . Did you want to open up a checking account and a savings account ? +Yes . Does the checking account come with a debit card ? +Yes . Actually , both accounts come with cards that you can use in ATM machines , so that you won't have to come in to the bank to make a transaction . +That's very convenient . +It is . Our customers really like it . Do you have any other questions about your new accounts ? +Yes . What's the maximum amount that you are allowed to have in an overdraft ? +The maximum is $ 1000 . +Is there a penalty for having an overdraft ? +Yes , but it's not much . You just have to pay 1 % interest on the account . It's much lower rate than any of our loans and it's much better than owing money to most credit cards . +That's true . Is everything alright with my documents ? +They're all in order . If you just sign your name here , you'll receive your cards and pin numbers in the mail in about three weeks . +Thank you very much . +You're welcome . +Mrs . Reynolds ? This is Martin Gross calling . +Hi , Martin . What can I do for you ? +Well , I ’ Ve got the spread sheets you asked for , but I ’ m still waiting on some data from accounting . +That ’ s all right .

I think you ’ ll love it . +As long as I don ’ t have to row . +Do you want to settle the bill now ? +Yes . Do you accept traveler's checks ? +Yes , we do . +Very good . +Do you have any identification ? +Yes , I have my driver's license . +Fine . +Well Rebecca , is there anything else you need to know for now ? +I don ’ t think so , Mr . Parsons . I think you have covered all the main points for me . +Okay well listen , here is my business card with my mobile number . If any other questions spring to mind don ’ t hesitate to contact me . Of course you can also call Miss Childs too . +Great . Rmm , when can I expect to hear from you ? +Well , we are finishing the shortlist interviews tomorrow , so we will certainly have a decision made by early next week . Miss Childs will call you to discuss more on Monday or Tuesday . How does that so +That sounds perfect . Thank you very much for taking the time to speak to me Mr . Parsons . +The pleasure ’ s all mine , Rebecca . +I hope to hear from you very soon . +Absolutely . Thanks for coming Rebecca . Goodbye . +Would you mind telling me the purpose of your visit to the U . K . ? +I am here on business . +May I see your passport ? +Of course , here you are . +Would you please open the suitcase ? What are these ? +They are two cameras . +Do you have anything to declare ? +Yes , I have one carton of cigarettes and a bottle of whiskey . +OK , you're through now . +Hi ! This is Tome Smith . +Yes , Mr . Smith ? +Is my VCR ready ? +No , it will be another hour . +May I have a look at that vase , please ? +Of course . It's the best one I have here---and it's only 300 yuan . +Oh , it's really nice , but to tell the truth , that's far too expensive . +Really ? Even for such an excellent one ? +How do you like the apartment ? +I like the apartment , but I see something wrong with it . +What ’ s wrong ? +There ’ s a leaking faucet in the sink . +That isn ’ t a problem . +That leak is going to raise my water bill . +What can I do ? +You need to fix it . +I can ’ t right now . +I won ’ t rent it if the faucet isn ’ t fixed . +I will fix it for you . +I ’ m glad you finally agree . +Hello , it's my first time in Egypt . What would you advise me to see here ? +There are many famous resorts in Egypt . You can have a good time here . +But I'm going to stay here only for two days . +I'm afraid two days isn't enough for you to see all the places of interest . +What shall I do then ? +If I were you , the pyramid would be my first choice . It's so magnificent . +It's really worth seeing . By the way , I'd like to buy some souvenirs . +You needn't worry about it . There are many stores at the scenic spots . I'm sure you can get what you want . +OK . I know what to do now . Thank you . +Good afternoon , miss , can I help you ? +Yes , I ’ d like to buy this dress , please . +It ’ s certainly a pretty dress . I can ring you up at the register over here . +Great . +Will you be paying by cash , check , or credit card ? +I want to use a credit card . Do you take Discover ? +Sorry , no . We only take MasterCard or Visa . +I ’ ll put it on my Visa card , then . +Very well , ma ’ am . Oh , there seems to be a problem , it says it ’ s rejected . +There must be something wrong with the system . Try my MasterCard . +Alright . Thank you . Yes , it seems to be working fine . Your total is $ 199.00 , sign here , please . +Sure . +Here you go , and here ’ s your receipt . Have a nice day . +Thanks . You have a good one , too . +Excuse me , can you help me figure out how to get to the Wudaokou subway station from here ? +Sure ... first you're going to have to buy a ticket to ride on the subway . The Wudaokou station is on the lightrail , so you'll have to transfer . Be sure you buy a combination ticket for the regular subway and the lightrail . It should cost you 5 yuan . +An after I buy the ticket , where should I go ? +You can take the red line train from here , but you'll have to transfer to the blue line at Fuxingmen transfer station . After you transfer , take the blue line that is heading north towards Fuchengmen . +So I transfer from red to blue , then how long do I ride the blue ? +You'll take the blue line until you reach Xizhimen . That's a big station , so there will likely be a lot of people getting off at that stop . You can transfer to the lightrail there , you'll have to exit the subway and present the unused portion of your combination ticket to the Ticketmaster , they'll give you a new ticket to use on the lightrail system . +It sounds so complicated ! +No , not the really , don't worry about it , like I said there'll be a lot of people there doing the same thing that you are doing , so just follow the crowd , There's only one direction to go , so you won't get on the wrong train . Head north on the Yellow line , and you'll see Wudaokou in just a couple of stops . +Fred , we're gonna have a meeting after half an hour . Have you got it ? +Is that true ? I can't believe it . There are always some meetings in this company . +Hush ! The wall has ears , you know . +But , my overwork has not done yet . And it is driving me crazy . +My boy . I give you my sympathy to you . However , this meeting is said to be extremely important , so we have to attend it . +What's the meeting for ? +It is to give honors and promotions to some colleagues who made outstanding performance last year . +I will be there after 20 minutes . +Look , the printer isn ’ t functioning well . I ’ Ve pushed the start button . It is suppose to be working now but it remains like a log . What ’ s going on ? +Let me check . It has a paper jam . +I didn ’ t pay attention to that . I will try to get the paper out . +Be careful , the cartridge can be very hot . +I want to offer you more invoking stock options . +When you hired me , you knew you were going to be low on cash , didn't you ? +Let me explain . To get more cash , I'll have to borrow more from Vital , the venture capitalists . +I know how it works . You don't want to give away any more of your future profits than you have to . +Exactly . Instead of increasing their position , I want to increase yours . +Good afternoon . Lotus Catering Company . Lilian speaking . May I help you ? +Good afternoon . Lilian . This is Tom Baker over at Beck ’ s Trading company . We need to arrange a banquet for next Wednesday afternoon . +I see , Mr . Baker . How many people are you planning to invite and how much would you like to spend per person ? +Well . We ’ re expecting about twenty-five people and we ’ d like to spend no more than $ 20 a head . +hi . Could you give me a hand with this report ? +sure . I ’ d be happy to give you some hints and advice . +thanks . Would you mind taking a look at the layout ? Do you think it ’ s appropriate ? I want it to be formal , but not boring to look at . +it looks good to me . I would suggest that you put the client ’ s logo and our logo on each page . The bosses seem to like that . +that ’ s an excellent suggestion . I can easily do it on the computer . +why don ’ t you use a different font the headings ? They ’ ll be more distinct . +I ’ ll take that suggestion too . How about the content ? +I think you ’ Ve included all the essential things . You might want to make the conclusion a little longer . Restate your reasons clearly . +is it ok to include the pictures ? +definitely ! I would include one or two on each page if possible . Remember that you should make the report as eye-catching as possible . +thanks for those ideas . I ’ ll get to work on them right away . +Onxiu Travel Agency , may I help you ? +Yes . I'd like to make a plane reservation to Shanghai , China . +Your name , please ? +Via Kiang . I'd like to leave on May 5th . +Let me see what's available . Yes , Air China has a flight on May 5th at nine fifteen in the morning . +Well , I need an economy ticket . +Single ticket or return ticket ? +Single . What's the fare , PLS ? +Economy fare for single ticket from Beijing to Shanghai is 500 yuan . +I see . Is my ticket confirmed then ? +Yes , your seat is confirmed on that flight . Pls arrive at the airport one hour before departure . +Thank you . +Are you ready for a second ? +No , I'm afraid we'll have to cancel the order . I'm not sure whether it agrees with me . +Would you like anything else ? +I'd prefer swordfish steak . +I'm sorry.It ' s out of season now . +Oysters , please . +Can I help you , sir ? +I want to find a book called Gone with the Wind . But I can't find it . +Let me give you a hand . The author is ... +Margaret Mitchell . +Oh , yes . Here it is . +Thank you very much . I have been looking for it for a long time . Is this the latest edition ? +Yes , we have both the paperback and hardcover . which would you want to buy ? +How about the price of the hardcover ? +It's $ 25 . +A little bit expensive , but I will buy one . This is $ 25 , here you are . +Sit down , please . Mr . Tang , do you bring any paper or certificate with you ? +Thank you . Here is a copy of the Tour Guide Certificate of mine . +Are you still working in Youth International Travel Agency ? +Yes , but I am on holidays this week . +How many foreign languages can you speak ? +I am bilingual , English and Russian . +Hi . What can I get for you ? +I ’ d like a half a pound of ground beef , please . +Good choice ! Our ground beef is extra lean , if you know what I mean . +Could I also have half a dozen pork chops and two pounds of boneless chicken breasts ? +No , no no no chicken breasts at the moment , but we have some nice chicken thighs . +No , that won ’ t do . I ’ ll take this smoked ham you have here . +Okay , is there anything else ? +Is this salami and bologna you have here ? +Yes ! It ’ s very fine meat ! Made it myself ... +Sounds good . Okay , that ’ s it . +Wait ! We have T-bone , rib eye , and sirloin steaks . They are very fresh ! Just came from the slaughter house ... +Mmm ... No that ’ s okay , really . I think that ’ s all for today . +Okay . That will be thirty-four dollars and fifty cents . +What's the price ? I hope you'll quote us favorably . +It's 800 US dollars per kilo CIF five percent Hamburg . +Frankly speaking , the price you offer is too high . We can't accept it . +Why ? This is a fair market price . +It certainly is . +Then what leads you to think that we have to reduce our price ? Please tell me candidly . +I look at it this way , suppliers should be able to reduce their CIF price , even lower than their home price . +We give you quotations on the same basis as we quote in the domestic market . +That's the point . Your overhead is in your domestic price , but it can't be carried in the CIF price . +But even with the overhead out , the export overhead must be put in . Finally , it comes to the same thing . Anyway , this is a quality item and should be sold on its value . +I wish you could make a reconsideration . If you don't reduce your price , we won't purchase from you any more because there's plenty of other business offering here . +Do you shop online often ? +Every so often . It is very convenient and the price is lower than in stores . +Are there many things online ? +Books , cosmetics , daily necessities , even large electrical appliance can be ordered from online-stores . +Incredible . I really want to survey the on-line virtual supermarket . +Even you can bargain with the owner of one on-line store , although he or she provides ' But It Now ' prices . +What are the disadvantages of on-line shopping ? +Some provide wrong pictures for the goods , so many buyers are deceived . +That's two for me and one for you . +That's not fair ! +Good evening , Pizza House . This is Marty speaking . May I take your order ? +Um yes , I'd like a medium pizza with pepperoni , olives , and extra cheese . +We have a two-for-one special on large pizzas.Would you like a large pizza instead ? +Sure , that sounds good . +Great ! Would you like your second pizza to be these as the first ? +No , make the second one with ham , pineappleand green peppers . Oh , and make it thin crust . +Okay , thin crust . Your total is $ 21.50 and yourorder will arrive in thirty minutes or it ’ s free ! +Perfect . Thank you . Bye ... +Sir , wait ! ! I need your address ! +OK , so are you ready to learn how to bake a cake ? +Almost , let me just put my apron on . +OK , so the first thing we are going to do is pre-heat the oven , that way we have it at the desired temperature once we finish preparing everything . Set it to three hundred and seventy five degrees Fahrenheit . +Got it . +No we are gonna make the batter . Take some butter and sugar and mix it lightly until you have a nice consistency . Then add some vanilla extract and eggs and continue mixing . +Do I have to use a whisk or can I use the electric mixer ? +Go ahead and use the mixer , but put it on medium speed . I'm gonna sift the flour and baking powder separately and then we can mix it with milk and the rest of the ingredients . +OK , so now we need a baking pan right ? +Yeah , but grease and flour it first so the cake won't stick to it when it bakes . +Done . So how long do we bake it for ? +We can leave it in there for about twenty five minutes . Then we let it cool for ten minutes before we remove the cake from the pan . +Wow ! This was a lot easier than I thought ! +OK , sir . Your suit will be available in five days . +Thank you . Do I have to pay in advance ? +Yes , you should pay half of the cost in advance . +Here you are . +Do you have a foreign tour ? +Yes , where do you want to go ? +Sydney . +Would you please look at the five routes ? +Well , the route 5 is really charming . Must I make a reservation ? +Yes , right now it's the busy season . +Hello . This is the front desk . What can I do for you ? +Hi . I ’ m calling from Room 209 . I couldn ’ t find the TV Guide . Can you send me one , please ? +Sure . Anything else ? +Yes . There is one more thing . +Go ahead , please . +The mini bar door was open when I checked in . I didn ’ t use it . Could you send someone to check it out ? +We ’ ll send someone right up . But don ’ t worry about that . Maybe the service person forgot to do it . +Thanks . +How much did you pay for the TV ? +200 bucks . +200 bucks for a piece of junk like that ? That's a ripped-off . +What do you mean ? +It's not worth it . +Oh , I guess I really did get ripped off . +What ’ s happened ? Is there a problem ? +I think the gears have seized up +You'll have to dismantle the unit and lubricate the bearings . Do it as quickly as you can but make sure you top up the oil before you start the motor up again . +Would you show us the menu ? +Sure . Here you are . +I'd like to have prawn cocktail , and tomato soup for the main course , I'd like steak with onion , with some black coffee afterwards . +Sorry , tomato soup is not being served today , but we have egg soup , it's very delicious . Why don't you try it today ? +It sounds good . I'll try it . +Would you like to have a drink ? +Well , I'll have a glass of mineral water . +Anything else ? +No , thank you . I think it's enough for dinner . +OK . I'll be back soon . +May , could you tell me how to solve this problem ? +That ’ s a secret . I couldn ’ t tell you . +Don ’ t give me your attitude . Please tell me . +Does it look too small ? +It fits you to a T . +I agree . I'm going to buy it . +Cash or charge ? +I'll charge it . +Sign here , please . +There you go . +Good-bye , and thank you for shopping here . +I need to get to PCC , but I don't know which bus to catch . +Where exactly are you coming from ? +I'm coming from Fair Oaks and Las Flores Drive in Altadena . +Do you have a problem walking a little bit ? +I don't mind walking . +If you walk down Fair Oaks to Altadena Drive , you can catch the 267 . +Tell me which direction it should be going . +Make sure to catch it going west . +Where do I get off ? +You get off on Del Mar and Hill . +Thanks for your help . +Don't mention it . +It's time for desserts ! Are you still hungry ? +I've always got room for something sweet ! +what are you going to try first ? +I've never tried traditional Greek yogurt , so I want to try that first . +do they serve the yogurt with anything ? +I believe they add locally produced honey to it . +that sounds good . I'm going to start with an Italian tiramisu . +do you want to try some of my yogurt . It's a favorite everyday dessert in Greece . +ok . Mmm . +what do you think ? How does it taste ? +it's nice , but it's rather plain . Do you want to try my tiramisu ? +sure . I'll just have a bite . +what do you think ? Does it taste good ? +it's absolutely delicious ! That is the best tiramisu I've ever had ! +I'm glad you like it . I don't care for it . Why don't you finish my tiramisu so that I can try one of those fried bananas ? +ok . I've had one of those before . They're really sweet and crunchy . +do you know where they are from . +I believe they are a local delicacy in the South . +do you want me to get you one , too ? +yeah , why not ? We've already pigged out as it is ! +ok , I'll be back with two fried bananas in a few minutes . Wait for me here ! +Mr . Chen , I have a Marry from realty world on line one . +I don't have time to talk to her now . +OK , I'll take a message . +Thank you . +How do you get along with your boss ? +I had a terrific working relationship with my boss , even though we are very different people . Because I've had a number of bosses , I've come to realize that to make things work , you have to understand what's important to your boss . Then you have to do everything you can to support him ( or her ) . It's natural to think about your own agenda first , but if you help your boss , Ifs likely to move your agenda ahead at the same time . My last boss was great in that regard , she appreciated my efforts and rewarded me when I helped her accomplish her goals . +What do you think is important in your work ? +Many are important — intelligence , diligence , information and planning . But the most important , I think , is achieving results . +Can you help me find my books ? +Certainly , do you have your school schedule ? The books are arranged by course number and instructor . +Oh , I see . Thank you . +Thank you for coming tonight , Mrs . Webber . As a teacher , it's great seeing the kid's parents assist our parent-teacher conference night . +Of course ! I am very interested to know how my child is doing and also get some insight from you as to how he can improve . +Well Allen is a great student . He is a hard worker and very well behaved , however he does struggle a bit with math . +I guess he gets that from me , I never did well in math when I was a kid . What can I do at home to compliment what he is learning in the classroom . +Well , it's important that you sit with him and review his homework assignments and help him with math . I would also recommend he stay after school twice a week for tutoring sessions . It will really help a lot . +Thanks a lot ! I will definitely do that . Is there anything else ? +Um ... yes . Here is a notice from our financial department , seems your child's Tumion is overdue . +Oh yes , I ... +Could you tell me what university you went to , Mr . Smith ? +I went to Yale University . +Did you ? And what did you study ? +I have a B . A . in Economics . +Would you mind telling me how old you are ? +I'm twenty-seven . +And could you tell me what other jobs you have had ? +Yes , I have worked in a bank for the last five years . +And what was your salary at the bank ? +I got $ 500 a week . +Can you give me a hand , Tom ? +Sure . +Can you open this bottle for me ? The cork seems to be stuck . +I'll have a go . +Excuse me . +Yes ? +Can you tell me the way to the Peak Tram , please ? +Certainly . Go along Queen's Road ... +Along Queen's Road ... +Yes , and turn right at the Hilton Hotel . +Right at the Hilton . +Then go up Garden Road , past the Cathedral . +The Cathedral ? +Yes . Then cross the road at the next traffic lights . The Peak Tram is straight ahead . You can't miss it . +That's very kind of you . Thank you . Er ... have you got a pencil ? +Yes . Why ? +Can you repeat all that ? I think I'd better write it down . +Is there anything I can do for you , Mr . King ? +I'm leaving for Shanghai tomorrow morning . When do I have to settle my bill ? +Is it all right for you to pay the bill this evening ? +That will do . Where shall I go to pay the money ? +At the Cashier's Counter of our hotel , right in the lobby downstairs . +Would you please get the bill ready before supper ? +All right . Is your companion leaving for Shanghai with you ? +No , he will stay here for two more days . Please keep the room for him . +Shall I make out a single bill or two separate bills ? +Two separate bills , please . +OK . I'll surely have the bill ready for this evening . +Will you give the bill to me at around six o'clock ? +No problem . By the way , do you have any comment to make on our hotel ? +I have had a good stay here . Your service is wonderful . I'm very satisfied with it . +Thank you for your compliments . You're welcome to our hotel again . +OK , I will . +I heard that Kevin got divorced . Is that true ? +Not so bad , but Kevin does have problems with his wife . +What ? +His wife always complained that Kevin's salary was too low and got no promotion . +Poor Kevin , we should do something for him . He is a nice guy and does his job well . +Yeah , I agree with you . But you know , it's just one of those things . +Hello , I am calling to confirm my reservation for a single room . +On which day ? +This Friday . +Well , let me check for you . Yes , you are booked already . It's a single room with a bath , facing the south . +That's right . Thank you . +Can you ship this batch of cotton within five or six weeks ? +What kind of cottons are they ? May I see your list ? Ah , machine prints . +Yes , mainly prints . There are a few plain as well . Here they are . +I see . And the quantities . +200 rolls of each . Make it 200 rolls for each sample . +How many rolls altogether ? +Twenty prints and five plain . That makes 5,000 rolls in all . +Six weeks , did you say ? +Yes , five to six weeks . +We could manage the plain rolls in six weeks . The prints might be put off to eight weeks . +Eight weeks ? We can wait that long . +That's the best we can do just now , I'm afraid . +Can't you make it seven weeks for the prints ? +What about taking the prints in two shipments ? Two thousand rolls in seven weeks , and the remained a week later . +That might be acceptable . I shall have to cable our Beijing office to get their approval . You can definitely supply in the time you've given me , I suppose . +Yes , I'll see that you get those delivery . Shipping by ' S . S . American ' as usual , is that all right ? +That's right . +When can we expect your confirmation of the order ? +As soon as I hear from Beijing , that will be either Friday or Saturday . +All right . +I'll be checking out of the hotel in about 30 minutes . +Thirty minutes or 30 seconds , sir , it doesn't matter , I'm ready for you . +Great ! As you know , however , the day in New York has hardly begun . +There's nothing like getting an early start , sir . +What can I do with my baggage while I visit a few more tourist spots ? +You can leave your baggage in our storage space , with a deposit . +Isn't my baggage enough of a deposit ? +I wish it was , but it isn't . They will still want a credit card . +It's always something , isn't it ? Let me think about this for a second . +Don't forget that you have very little time , sir , before you have to check out . +You're going go Dresden for sightseeing ? +Yeah.And I'm going by bus . +I think a train journey is as fast as a bus journey . +But both my wife and I prefer taking a bus . +so , which sport do you prefer---basketball or baseball ? +to be honest , I don't really care for either one . +I thought everyone liked basketball . Why don't you like it ? +I used to play basketball when I was little , and I never scored a goal . Every time I watch a basketball game , I think about how horrible I was at it . +that makes sense . +how about you ? What's your favorite sport of all time ? +my absolute favorite is ice hockey . +have you ever seen a live game ? +sure , many times . It's an exciting game for spectators to watch . +I've never really understood the game . +it's not that difficult . If you want to watch a game with me , I can explain the rules and the tactics while we're watching . +thanks , that'd be nice . When's the next ice hockey game on ? +not for a while , but we could watch an old one on the internet so I can explain the game to you . +that's a good idea . +let's watch the Canadian team . They have a good manager and a great coach . +Excuse me . I would like to purchase some travelers ' checks . +Sure . How much do you want ? +$ 5000 and I want them all in fifties . +OK , here you are . Please sign your name here . +Thank you . +Excuse me , my skin is always dry , can you give me some advice ? +I think you should buy a bottle of moisturizer . +Will that work ? +Yes . It will keep your face from getting dry and make your skin soft . +Good afternoon . Welcome to Lincoln Bank , how can we be of service ? +Hi . You called and said I should come in . It's about some documents that have arrived for Nobut Foods . +Just pulling up your information now . Yes , some documents arrived for you from Sapporo . +Oh great ! We've been waiting for those . Is everything alright with them ? +Actually , there is a problem . It's the goods description , it's a little different on the invoice , but this does happen sometimes . +No , everything has to be perfect . +No problem , I'll just get the form for you . +I'd like to open a savings account . Can you tell me how to do it ? +OK . You have to fill out this form and let me see three identification cards or documents . +I have a driver's licence , a membership card and my passport . Will they do ? +Let me see them . Yes , they're OK . +What's the minimum amount I can deposit in an account ? +You can deposit an initial amount of ten dollars . +Thank you . +Julia , I have good news for you . +What's up ? +I have earned a lot of money this week , more than I do in a fortnight . +It is really good news . How much do you earn a week now ? +My wages are six hundred dollars a week . But I find a part-time job to supplement my income . +Darling , I know you are a good husband . You don't have to work so hard . After all your health is the most important . +I know , darling . I must earn enough money to buy a car . I do a part-time job to increase my income . Don't worry , I will take care of myself . +I see . You must have more rest . +How can I help you today , Sir ? +I set up the Personal Wealth Management Service with you , but I'm going to be travelling overseas . I'm not quite sure what I should do . I mean is it possible to still use the service ? +That's not a problem . You can use that service wherever you are , it doesn't matter which country you are in at the time . +Really ? In that case , could I have the number of the Service Centre please ? +Of course . It's 33234 . That will put you in touch with a Personal Banker . +And they can deal with everything ? +That's the beauty of the service ; they can deal with everything , with total security . +That's good to know .

Would that be better ? +Did you have a certain movie in mind ? +I thought the movie about a serial killer who rapes and mutilates his victims would be a good choice . +I kind of wanted to see “ The Secret Life of Bees . ” +Maybe we can think of something somewhere between a chick flick and a horror movie ! +Hello , this is Garry Hao .

She can ’ t decide about college . +Don ’ t worry . That ’ s just a part of being a teenager . +I don ’ t mind that . But she disagrees with me about everything . +You should encourage her to make up her mind by herself .

Everything will be ok . +I hope so . +Good evening , sir . Are you ready to order now ? +Yes . I'd like to try Chinese food . But I don't know anything about it . +Chinese food is divided into eight big cuisines , such as Cantonese food , Sichuan food , Fujisan food , etc . Our restaurant is famous for Sichuan style . +Is there any difference between Cantonese food and Sichuan food ? +Yes . Cantonese food is lighter while Sichuan food is spicy and hot . +Really ? I like hot food . Can you make a few suggestions ? +How about the eggplant and minced pork in dry red chili sauce and the ' Tofu ' beancurd ? They are our specialties . +OK . I ’ ll have them . Is there any soup ? +Yes . Sour soup of Sichuan style . It's our chef ’ s recommendation . +That ’ s fine . I'll have a try . +Sir , your dish will take 5 minutes to prepare . While waiting , would you like anything to drink ? +Martini , please . +OK , sir . We'll try our best to serve you as soon as possible . +What is your technical title ? +I am an Assistant Electronics Engineer . +Why do you choose this field as your career ? +I've wanted to be involved in engineering ever since I was little . And my study has equipped me with a career as a mechanical engineer . +I ’ m so frustrated ! +what ’ s wrong , Jim ? +I called the electronics shop to find out what time they close , and it took me twenty minutes to get what I wanted ! +Twenty minutes just to find out what their business hours are ? +yes.They have some sort of digital receptionist.So when I called in , a machine told me to push a button for the department I wanted to be transferred to . +Oh , I hate getting voicemail instead of a person.What did you do ? +I just kept pushing buttons . I was transferred to customer service , but there a machine told me to choose between technical help , warranty information , or price information . +Couldn ’ d you choose to be transferred to a real person ? +Eventually I did get to a real person . I found out the closing time , but by then the store had already closed ! +What kind of personality do you think you have ? +I am very active and energetic . I approach things enthusiastically and I don't like leaving them half done . +Do you think you are introverted or extroverted ? +I am quite outgoing , I think . I enjoy mixing and doing things with other people . +What do you think is the most important thing for you to be happy ? +I maintain that the most important thing is having good friends . A person can't live all by himself . A friend in need is a friend indeed . So the more really close friends I have , the happier I am . +Do you have any friend you would call really close ones ? +Yes , I would call three of my former classmates really close friends . We often get together and talk with each other . Whenever I counter difficulties , they are always ready to give me a hand . +What kind of people would you like to work with ? +People who are honest , dedicated to their work and have integrity . +What kind of people you find hard to work with ? +Slacker and those who violate working principles . +Cool camera . What are its features ? +It's loaded ! For example , it's got a 256 color , LCD screen that rotates 360 degrees , and switches to black and white in power save mode . Also , it has a low-light mode for night shooting and touch screen menu controls that are really convenient . +What about the quality of the pictures ? +Oh , it's the usual 5600x3200 resolution with 10.0 megapixels . It's got a 5xzoom , so from 28mm to 120mm the pictures look great ! I can change the resolution , too . +Wow ! What about the memory ? +It has a built-in hard-wired memory , but I like to use the 64MB media cards that come with it . I can download everything onto the hard drive and then edit and enhance with different software . It takes fantastic pictures that I can either print out or E-mail to my friends . +May I help you ? +Yes . I'm a transit passenger for this flight . Can you tell me where to go ? +Let me see . Oh , you're at the wrong gate . Your plane leaves from Gate No . 8 . +Really ? I hope it hasn ’ t left without me . +No , don ’ t worry . Just follow me . +Hi , Mary , you have been a secretary for several years in this company . Could you tell me what a secretary should do for a meeting or a conference ? +Well , an important part of the duties of a secretary , I think , is to do well the preparation work for the meeting . +What should a secretary do to prepare for a meeting ? Can you tell me a bit more about it ? +First of all , the agenda should be prepared before the meeting . Then you should ensure that those entitled to be present are properly informed . +I see , and how about the documents and the information ? +All the necessary documents and the information relevant to the meeting should be available , preferably printed and distributed before the meeting . +And what should a secretary do during the meeting ? +Of course , she should take minutes . +And after the meeting ? +After the meeting she should type the minutes up , and then keep proper records of the business transacted and the resolutions passed and also implement many of the decision reached at the meeting . +It's seriously good . +Hello , sir . Have you anything to declare ? +This is my first tourism . I don't know what should be declared . +OK . Please open your luggage , and I'll tell you what you should declare . +All right . Here you are . +You should declare the camera and the film . Do you have alcohol ? +Yes , I have got some special local product , I want to take them for my friends . +How many bottles have you got with you ? +Four bottles . +I'm sorry . According to the regulations , a passenger can only take two bottles on to the aircraft . So you cannot take so many . +What shall I do with my two more bottles ? +You may give them to your friends who come to see you off . This is the Customs Declaration Form . Please fill in it . And then you can go through the other formalities . Be sure to keep the form safe . +All right , thank you , see you . +See you . Have a good journey . +Your definition on success ? +Most people think that wealth means success . But from my point of view , the problem should be viewed from two aspects . On the one hand , wealth is a very important thing to measure success . The ability to make money , to some extent , signifies your knowledge , your capability , the value of your labor , etc .. With the development of our economy and industry , more and more people are pursuing money these days . And in toda / s society , If you have money , you seem to have everything . But this is not the case . I think success , on the other hand , also means satisfaction from work . It also means that you can get respect from others . +What ’ s your ideal job ? +Ideally , I ’ d like to have a job that will allow me to work from home several days a week . I ’ m the kind of person who can set priorities , work well independently , and set my own pace . I actually successfully worked from home for several months in my current job when a problematic pregnancy forced me to stay in bed . But I realize that many employers do not have experience with employees who work from home , and I have , of course , performed very successfully in a traditional office setting . +How would you describe your relationship with your last two supervisors ? +Very good . Basically , once our sales plan was put together , I had a great deal of freedom to handle my sales in the way I felt best . +How would your present boss describe you ? +He always says I am a hard worker with consciousness of responsibility , sufficient education , and enough experience . +What would your colleagues say about you ? +They would say I am a dependable friend and a capable colleague . +Hello ? +Hi , is Heather there please ? +Sorry , I think you have the wrong number . +Is this 617-228-2289 ? +Yes . Who are you looking for again ? +Heather Johnson . +Oh , I thought you said Laura . Sorry about that . This is the right number , but Heather's not here right now . +Do you know where she went ? +She went to the store to buy some groceries . Would you like to leave a message ? +Yes , would you please tell her Eric Martin called ? +Hi Eric , this is her roommate Kathy . I met you a couple months ago at the Christmas party . +Oh , yes . How are you ? +Good . Heather will be back in about 20 minutes . I'll tell her you called . +OK . Thanks . +Bye bye . +Waiter , a menu please ! +Here you are . +Thank you . Could you tell me the specials today ? +The special today is fried chicken , and beef is good too . +Ok , let's think about it for a minute . +Well , I'll be back in a minute . +You say he was around average hight . +Yeah , that's right , around five nine five ten . +Weight ? +I'm not sure.Medium , I suppose.Maybe a little on the heavy side . +Any karks on his face ? +No , I don't think so . +Glasses ? +No . +what about his hair ? +Black or dark brown . +Long or short ? Straight ? Curly ? +Straight , I think , and about average length . +Boy , this surely doesn't help us much.It could be anybody.How about his cloth ? What was he wearing . +Well , he had a Jacked or a Plage shirt . You know the kind of number jack wear . +Ok , now we are getting some where.Pants ? +Dark , maybe dark blue maybe black . I'm not sure . +What kind of shoes ? +Boots +Cow while Boots . +No , hiking boots . Brown ones . +All right . That nearly done a little.Now I want you to look some pictures . +Hello , welcome to the International Business Counter , Sir . What can we do for you today ? +Hi . I need some help with these documents under L / C . +Of course . Is there a problem with them ? +Yes . My Manager sent me in , there's a problem with the shipping time . It's been delayed quite significantly and my manager is unwilling to accept it . +You will need to return the documents . That's no problem ; we can deal with that for you now . +Thank you . I need to get this done as soon as possible ; my manager is tearing his hair out ! +Hi , are you Catherine ? +Yes , Jason , right ? Nice to meet you . Welcome to Taiwan . +Thanks , good to meet you , too . +You had a long flight , you must be tired . +Yes , and the food was horrible ! +Oh , sorry to hear that . But , don worry ! Taiwan has plenty of great things to eat . First , lets get you to the hotel . +Great ! How will we be getting there ? +My car is in the parking lot , lets go this way . Let me help you with your bags . +Hello . I want to purchase an old music box . +We have a good variety . What decade would you like ? +I was hoping I could find something made in the ' 20s . +There are six on this table . +I hope at least one of them has dancing figures . +Many people like the dancing figures . Two of our boxes have the figures . +So hard to choose . I think I'll take this one . +That one will bring you many hours of pleasure . +Does a warranty come with this music box ? +I'm sorry , but if it breaks down , you're on your own . +I just thought I would ask . +When you buy a Model T , you can't expect a warranty . +I can ’ t find my purse . Have you seen it ? +No , I haven ’ t . +I ’ Ve looked everywhere for it . I must have left it somewhere . I hope I haven ’ t lost it . +Perhaps you left that at school . +No , I had it when I left school this afternoon . +Well . Didn ’ t you go around to the Smith after school ? You might have left it there . +Yes , I ’ d better give her a call now . +But she can ’ t be home now . She might have gone to the library . +Perhaps I should call her later . +I had a look yesterday . I found some exhibits are fine in quality and beautiful in design . The exhibition has successfully displayed to me what your corporation handles . I have gone over the catalogue and the pamphlets enclosed in your last letter . I have got some idea of your exports . I am interested in your silk blouses . +Our silks are known for their quality . They are one of our traditional exports . Silk blouses are brightly colored and beautifully designed . They are greatly favored overseas and are always in great demand . +Some of them are of the latest style . Now I have a feeling that we can do a lot of trade in this line . We wish to establish business relationship with you . +Your desire coincides with ours . +Concerning our financial position , credit standing and trade reputation , you may refer to our bank.or to our local chamber of commerce or inquiry agencies . +Thank you for your information . As you know , our corporation is a state-operated one . We always trade with foreign countries on the basis of equality and mutual benefit . I have no doubt that it will bring about benefit between us . +That sounds interesting ! I'll send a fax . As soon as I receive the definite answer , I'll give you a special answer . +We will make an offer as soon as possible . I hope a lot of business will be put through between us . +So do I . +I hope everything will be smooth . +That is what I want to say . +I will give you the lowest price in the future . +Thank you ! +Sorry . The car breaks down and it needs to be repaired . +Knock on wood . But I have a very important date . +My wife and I are thinking about taking our parents with us on a vacation . Do you have any suggestion about where to go ? +The choice of destination is very important . It will too energetic for the old people if you make an excursion or go to climb mountains . But they'll be interested in going to the historical places of interest where they can have fun . +Sometimes what young people like is different from the old . Maybe we can go visit first and then do some shopping . +That's a good idea . That will allow both you and your parents to enjoy yourselves . +What should we bring besides a change of clothes , money and some snacks ? +It's some medicine the doctor recommends . If you leave it at home , you will find it difficult to face up when the old people suffered a seizure . +Oh , yes ! I didn't think about that.Thank you for reminding me . How many days should we spend on a vacation ? +You'd better have all a light schedule . You can rest up for a few days if your parents find tired 。 +It seems that good planning for a family vacation is important to make sure everyone will be happy . +Yes , that's right . Having an enjoyable time together is the goal . +Owl ! I've twisted my ankle . I slipped on that greasy patch over there . I don't think it's broken but it really hurts . +Sit down here - don't put any pressure on it . I'd better call the company doctor . +Can I have this shoe in the black please ? +Of course , sir , I'll have a look in the back . +Okay . +I'm afraid I haven't got one in your size . +Dad , you've been driving for three hours . Why don't we have a switch ? +There're a lot of chuckholes on this old highway . Driving on it is experience-demanding . +Trust me . I've been driving for two years . +Ok . You drive and do be careful . +I would like to know is it a direct flight to Dubai ? +Sorry . No . You need to transfer to a connect flight in the middle . +Too bad . I hate transferring during a flight . It is too complex . +You have to do it . But it takes only about 30 minutes . +Really ? It used to cost a few hours . +It has become more time saving . +Ok . Good . I want two side by side tickets in the Economy cabinet . Thank you . +Anything else ? +Yes , one last thing . How much holiday time do you give your employees every year ? +Our employees receive fifteen days of paid vacation every year . If you don ’ t use the full fifteen days , they carry over to the following year . +How about sick days ? +You get five paid sick days . +Any other benefits ? +Yes , we have an excellent retirement plan and medical insurance as well . +Great . Thanks so much for your time . +We ’ ll contact you soon , Ted . Thanks for coming in . +What is your greatest strength ? +I feel my greatest asset is perseverance , that is , the ability to stick to things to get them done . +Why do you say that ? +I feel a sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turned out just as I'd planned . +Do you do a lot of your shopping online ? +Not really . I like looking on the internet at what ’ s available , but I usually prefer to actually see and touch what I ’ m buying before I pay for it . Sometimes , I ’ ll look at something in a shop , but later buy it online if it ’ s cheaper . You don ’ t like buying things online , do you ? +No . I ’ m a little worried about security . You never who ’ s trying to find out your codes and passwords . Aren ’ t you worry about that ? +Not really . I know that it happens , but if you buy from reputable companies with secure websites , you should be ok . Even though I use online shopping facilities , I don ’ t think it ’ s the best way to shop . +I ’ m surprised to hear you say that . I thought you loved anything technological . +I do . I ’ m a big fan of using new technology , but I don ’ t want to sit in front of a computer screen all day . I think people need to get out and interact with other people . +So , how about coming to the department store with me ? I want to see if there are any new summer clothes on sale yet . +Sure . I ’ d love to join you . Can we stop by the computer store ? I just want to see if they have something . +Sure . While you ’ re in the computer store . I will visit the book store opposite . I like to browse through their books if they have anything interesting . +Ok . I ’ Ve finished online . Let ’ s go . I ’ ll just get some money and my credit card . +Thanks for reminding me . I had forgotten to get mine . +When we get paid for this assignment , you get US $ 2 , TOO , and I get US $ 3,000 . +Hey , that's not fair . I did as much work as you . +Okay , okay , we'll split it 50/50 . +Hey , Michael . Remember me ? I'm Becky . We used to work at Lemans together . +Oh , sure . How are you ? Long time no see . How are things at Lemans ? +It's about the same . I've been thinking of making a change myself . Do you mind if I ask you a few things about your job at the university ? +No , not at all . Go ahead . +Well , I was wondering what the salaries are like ? I mean ... are they much lower than the corporate world ? +Well , I can't speak for all universities , but my salary is a definitely lower than at Lemans . I just don't think the salaries are comparable when you leave a major corporation . +Yeah , that's what I thought . But , I've heard that the perks are better . I was wondering if that was really true . +I'd have to say yes and no on that . I don't get a big end-of-the-year bonus like I did at Lemans but I get to take classes for free if I want to . I've always wanted to get a graduate degree so I'm taking classes now to do that . +Oh , that's great . It sounds like you're really happy with your move . +Yeah , I guess I am . Working at a university is really suits me . +Hi , my name is Tom . +Tom , the new sales representative ? Nice to meet you ! I'm Melinda . +Nice to meet you too.Melinda . +Now let me show you around . This is our reception area , and our conference room is right over there . Over there is the sales department . +Really ?

While they are savoring a coffee at a leisured pace , they +yes . Behind a lifestyle , there is a culture . Young people easily become blind worshippers of a Westernized life . While they may not really life coffee , they think it desirable and enviable to be lavish +then what about tea ? We need to bear in mind in the first place that tea , rather than coffee , has been the most popular drink for the Chinese people . +well . Tea represents another facet of popular culture . While a coffee bar is usually quiet and resonates with soft , elegant music , a teahouse is often a noisy , crowded , public space . People visit tea +what a pity that the traditional teahouses , as depicted Lao She , keep fading away so quickly in this metropolis . It is not easy to find an old-fashioned teahouse that suits the ordinary people's spend +well , that's true . In a sense , it is not so much what you drink that really counts , as where and how you drink . +We did a survey on your job performance . +How did I do ? +Not so good . Lots of complains . +Really ? I thought I was doing well . +Your performance so far is not quite in line with what we expect for our executives . I hope I ’ Ve made my point . +How are you , Mr Wilson ? I am Tina . +Glad to meet you , Mrs.Tina . +Please have a seat . I know our employment of forcer has already given you the information about your employee contract , but I'd like to go over the main details again before signing . First , you'll be getting a monthly salary , with one month paid vacation after one year of service . +That's what I understand . +You'll be covered by our medical plan while on duty.Since you'll be middle management , you're expected to be available up to 1.5 hours past normal working hours.Any approved time over that will be paid at time and a half , which you can take as salary or time off . +Exactly my understanding . +A reasonable number of sick days will be covered by the company.Any extended illness will be covered by insurance.Have you read the other terms of the contract ? +Yes , I have . +Do you have any other questions ? +Just one . I noticed an item about flex-time.Is that a possibility for me ? +Yes , it is , but you'll have to discuss the details with your manager . +That's acceptable . +Good.Now , if you'll just sign here , you can start work in 3 days . +That was a beautiful car . It ’ s a new car , but it ’ s totaled . +Well , your insurance covers sufficient money to replace it . So you don ’ t need to worry . +I don ’ t think I could afford that kind of car again . I think I ’ ll have to choose something that is not as hard to replace . +Since you are not the one who caused the accident , your insurance cost should be the same . +What will happen if I chose a smaller car ? Would the payments be the same ? +If you got a smaller car , the cost should be a little less depending on the model , age , and size . Would you still want full coverage ? +Yes . +I want to have this photo enlarged . +What size do you want it to be ? +I want to have it the size of a page from an ordinary book . +Oh , I see , that's the size of 12 x 18cm . How many prints do you want to have ? +One is OK . How much does it cost ? +Let me see . Eleven yuan . +Here's twenty yuan . +This is your change . +Is this your first time visiting Beijing ? +Yes . Is it easy to get around ? +I think so . You can get anywhere by bus and taxi is not expensive . +How about the subway ? +It's also convenient , but it's usually crowded . +Good morning , mom . +Good morning , sweetie . You finally got up . +I'm still sleepy . +Did you stay up late last night ? +No , I couldn't fall asleep last night . +Have you taken the written test yet ? +No , I haven't . +You should study before you take it . +I have been studying . +Why don't you take the test ? +Do you know if it costs any money to take it ? +Since you already paid for your permit , you don't have to pay again . +All right . Do you know if the test covers the whole book ? +No , the test skips a lot of things in the book . +Did you pass it the first time that you took it ? +No , I didn't , because it was pretty hard . +Well , I hope that I do well . +Peter , where are you going ? +I'm going to do some shopping . +Won't you watch TV ? +What's on TV tonight ? Is there a football match ? +The TV station will air the World Cup football match alive at 8: 30 . +Really ? Who will play ? +The Brazilian team versus the American team . Don't miss it . +That's cool . I'll watch it . +Who do you think will win ? +There is no doubt that the Brazilian team will win . +I think so . +Hello , welcome to Credit Services . How can we help you ? +I'm interested in applying for a credit card with you . +Are you an existing customer ? +Yes , I've had a Current Account with a debit card with you for years . Now , I'm looking at upgrading to a credit card . +May I ask why you didn't think of applying for a credit card with us sooner ? Most young people jump at the chance . +When I opened the account with you , I was a student , I graduated a couple of years ago and have a steady salary , so I figured now would be the best time to go ahead . +That's very sensible of you . We have many fresh graduates applying for credit cards , getting them and then going on a spending spree and being unable to meet the repayments . +As you can see from the statements for my Current Account , I have never been overdrawn . I'm always very careful about that . +Good morning , I would like to make a doctor ’ s appointment . +Can you describe your health concern ? +I have been having skin problems that aren ’ t going away . +Are you in pain ? +No . Except for the rash , I feel fine . +Would Tuesday or Wednesday be best for you ? +I would like to come in on Tuesday . +I will write you in for that day at 4 +I would like to see Dr . Smith . +I will write you in on that doctor ’ s schedule . See you then . +Have you had any medical experience in any hospital before coming here ? +Yes , I worked as a doctor at Beijing People's Hospital . +How long have you been there ? +A little over 3 years . +In what section did you work in the hospital ? +I worked in the Infection Medicine Division . +What a washing machine ! It ’ s getting worse today . Look ! Now it doesn ’ t work at all . I think I need a new one . +Here ’ s an ad . about a big sale of washing machine . Do you want to see it ? +Of course ! Let ’ s have a look . Great ! In my frame of mind , I ’ d like to but one today . +I think we should buy some souvenirs to take home . +Why not ? What about us doing it right now ? +Good idea . I noticed that on our way to the tower there are so many shops selling all kinds of souvenirs . +So let's head there . We'd better hurry up . +Excuse me ? +Yes . Can I help you ? +Well , I bought this skirt here yesterday afternoon . But I got the wrong size . It ’ s too small for my daughter . I wonder if I could refund it . +Yes , you could if it's kept intact . But don't you want to get a bigger size ? +I intended to , but as far as I know , all the skirts of this kind here are of the same size . +Are they ? In that case , I'll be glad to give your money back . +Sorry to have given you trouble . +Never mind . It ’ s just my duty . +I think you made the right choice , coming to us.We have a wide selection of vehicles you can choose from . +I would like to rent a car with a good stereo . +All our cars have stereos in them.Stereos , air conditioning . It's all standard with us . +Good . I am here visiting my girlfriend . I want her to have a good time . +Oh , is that so ? Well , then . Let me show you something she might like . It's on our back lot . +This is a Porsche ! +Yes . Beautiful , isn't it ? +But I probably can't afford it . It must be really expensive . +Well , sir . You said you were looking at cars at the rental agency at the airport.Now with them you'd spend your money and get nothing for it.But you could probably rent this Porsche from us , for the same price as one of their standard cars . +But how can you do that ? +It's because our prices are so good.And this car has a lot of miles on it . But it's in nice shape , isn't it ? +Yes , it almost looks new . +What's going on with you ? +Nothing . What's going on with you ? +I'm having a party this Friday . +I had no idea . +Is that right ? +I didn't hear anything about it . +Can you go ? +What time ? +It starts at 8 o'clock . +I'll go . +I hope that I'll see you there . +No doubt . +You must like negotiating a lot . People are saying , you are a super negotiator . +Ha , I am flattered . Actually , when it comes to negotiate , you don ’ t need to like it . You just need to understand how it works . +I am not good at it by any means . Give me some advice . +Well , generally speaking , if you want to change someone ’ s mind or understand his position , you have to put yourself in his shoes . Understand his need and the cost for his need . And then you work together to find a solution . +Sounds easy . But how can I apply to practice ? I am thinking about applying for more reimbursement for my mobile bill . But I am afraid our boss will turn me down . +Ok , as John after Kennedy put it , let us never negotiate out of fear , but let us never fear to negotiate . +Thanks for coming to see me today . +It's no problem . I was really missing you anyway . +I missed you too . +Why haven't you tried to come see me then ? +I've been really busy . +Doing what ? +Working . +I would've come to see you sooner , but I've been busy too . +What have you been doing ? +I've been working too . +Well regardless , I'm very happy that you came to see me . +I am too . +How may I help you , miss ? +I want to change my hairstyle . What would you suggest ? +Would you like to have a perm ? +Do you think it will suit me ? +Oh , absolutely . +Ok , I'll have it for a change . +Hi ! Susan ! I haven ’ t seen you for ages ! +I ’ Ve been really busy . How is everything ? +Oh , fine . Hey , why don ’ t we grab a bite to eat and do some catching up ? +Yeah , why not ? I ’ Ve got a little free time on my hands . Where do you want to eat ? +Is there a sofa in the living room ? +I am afraid there isn ’ t . +That ’ s too bad . Is there a desk in the living room then ? +There is a desk and two chairs . +Where are the chairs ? +They are behind the door . +Good afternoon . Can I help you ? +Yes , I would like to check in . +Do you have a reservation ? +Yes , my name is Steven Smith . I have a reservation from October 2nd to October 6th . I called last week . +Wait a moment , please . Oh , yes , Steven Smith . It's for a single room with a bath . Is that right ? +Yes , that's right . +Now , Mr . Smith , could you fill out this registration form , please ? +OK . By the way , where is the restaurant ? +The restaurant is on the second floor . Here is the key to your room . It's on the 6th floor , room 609 . The elevator is over there . And we also have a cafeteria on the top floor , if you would like something to drink , you can also call room service . +Thank you . +Help me sort out my problem , will you ? +OK , but I think you should keep an eye on your plan if you see what I mean . +I know it ’ s so costly , but ... +No buts . The thing is to cut down your expense , Judie . +Is it true that one of our competitors is planning to launch their tracking service next month ? +That would be WebTracker . We're heard they're almost ready . That's why we have to finish first . +Or they'll take over the market before we even get started . +Right . And that would be a total giga-bummer . +I guess we'd better get back to work . +Excuse me . May I see Mrs . Smith ? +It's me . What can I do for you ? +Nice to meet you , Mrs . Smith . I'm coming here for an interview by appointment . +Are you Mr . Wu ? +Yes , I am . +Nice to meet you , too . Did you have any difficulty finding our company ? +Not really , I am familiar with this area . +What seems to be the problem ? +I have a really bad toothache ! My cheek is swollen and I can ’ t eat anything . +Let ’ s have a look . Mmmm . This doesn ’ t look too good . I think we may have to pull out your wisdom tooth . It ’ s pressing against your molars and that ’ s one of the reasons you are experiencing so much pain . +When you pull my tooth will you also have to extract the nerve and the root ? +First we will take some x-rays and see what we ’ re dealing with . I also noticed a small cavity up front here , so you are going to need a filling . +I guess that ’ s what I get for not flossing or brushing my teeth three times a day . +It could be that , or maybe you are eating too many sweets . In any case , I ’ ll administer an anesthetic and you won ’ t feel a thing ! +May I help you ? +Yes . I'm looking for some perfume . Do you have perfumes with a light scent ? +How about this one ? It smells like green tea and is our best seller . Try it . +It does smell good , How much is it ? +It goes for $ 40 . +OK . I'll take this one . +I had a big argument with david yesterday . I hope he ’ s not still mad at me . +what did you argue about ? +he borrowed some money from me and I needed it back . He said he didn ’ t have the money yet . +well , he should pay you back . It ’ s only fair . +yes , but is got angry with him too quickly . He probably thought that I mistrusted him . I shouldn ’ t have got angry . +did you lend him a lot of money ? +not much . I had to pay an unexpected bill , so I needed the money back . +well , talk to him about it next time you see him . He probably feels as bad about it as you do . Close friends sometimes have disagreements . It ’ s nothing unusual . Neither of you said anything r +no , we didn ’ t . I guess you ’ re right . We should patch things up . +of course you should . You wouldn ’ t want a silly argument to ruin a long friendship , would you ? +Doctor Lin's Office . +I need to make an appointment to see the doctor . +How about 2 o'clock this afternoon ? +Good , but can you tell me how to get to your office ? +I need some flowers for my wife . It's her birthday . +Very well . We have some fresh red roses . +How much are the roses ? +$ 20 per dozen . +That sounds like a good deal . +Yes , they're on sale today . +I'll take a dozen . +Splendid . Will there be anything else ? +No , the roses will be fine . +I'm sure your wife will love them . +I wonder if you can help me . I ’ m looking for a room . +Yes . I ’ Ve get a small room . +How much do you charge ? +35.00 dollars a week , but I don ’ t allow smoking . +OK.Can I see the room now ? +Would you mind waiting ? I ’ m on the telephone . +The dress looks beautiful . Can I touch it ? +I am sorry , miss , it's not allowed unless you want to buy it . +I see . What about the dress over there ? I would like to try it on . +OK , here you are . The fitting room is behind the curtain . +Please show me the menu , Miss . +Of course . Here you are . Can I take your order now ? +Yes . I'd like an Italian soup to start with and then some fried noodles . +All right . Can I serve you anything else ? +Yes , I'd like another cup of coffee afterwards . Make it hot , please . +You've got it , sir . +How long are you staying ? +Four weeks . +May I ask what brought you here ? +I'm here on business . +What line of business are you in ? +I import canned food . +Where are you going to play this weekend ? +I have not given it much thought . Do you have any good suggestions ? +I want to spend two days in the mountains with friends . The city is too noisy . Do you know Tangle Temple ? +I have been there . It is in the middle of the mountains . It is not noisy there and you have to be a vegetarian . +Do you want to climb the mountain with us ? +Does it have enough lodging ? +No problem . The temple is quite large . +There are many ancient pine trees there . It is especially quiet at night . It is wonderful to listen to the monks chanting while listening to the soothing sound of the winds in the pine trees . +I'm getting a little excited now . What clothes should I wear ? +Take some thick clothes with you . It is rather cold there at night . If you wear the T-shirt you're wearing now , you will become a ' popsicle ' . +Anything else I should bring ? +If you like taking pictures , you may bring a camera with you . +Needless to say . +Hello , Lincoln Bank . Kristy speaking , how may I help you today ? +Hello , Kristy . Could I speak to the department that deals with credit card applications , please ? +I can deal with that , Sir . Are you interested in our personal or corporate card ? +The personal card , please . Is it possible to take care of this over the phone ? +I'm sorry , Sir , but you will need to come in to your local branch to deal with the application procedure .

A week ? 10 days ? +It should all be sorted out within 5 working days after receipt of the required documents . +Right , I'll contact my guarantor now and we'll come in within the next couple of days . Thanks very much for your help . Goodbye . +Sorry to bother you , but do you have change for a one ? +I'll have to look . What do you want it for ? +I need it for the parking meter . +I can give you quarters , if that'll help . +You ’ re all set to leave . +I can ’ t believe it . +What are your plans ? +I plan on going back to school . +What will your major be ? +I ’ m not sure yet , but I plan to do good things . +You don ’ t have plans to end up back here , do you ? +I have no plans on being back . +You don ’ t belong here . +That ’ s true . +Good luck with your life . +I ’ m going to be fine . +A Westerner said to his Chinese friend . “ Chinese people slurp when drinking soup . It ’ s disgusting . ” The Chinese friend replied , “ Westerners make a lot of noise licking their fingers when eating . It ’ s even worse . ” +Everyone has his own habits , but these habits are not very good . The noise often spoils other people ’ s appetite . +I attended a course on table manners while I was in the United States . Some of the things we learnt included how to place the napkin and utensils and how to pass the bread . Before each course , the teacher would ask if we wanted to learn the Continental European way or the American way . We always said “ American way . ” It ’ s amazing that everyone is so used to their own table manners . What is the Chinese way ? +The westerners use knives and forks to eat so it is complicated . The Chinese use a pair of chopsticks and eat out of the same plate . I assume it is less complicated , right ? +Not really . I did some research about Chinese table manners . The important rule is to remain silent while eating . Of course , this refers to family meals only . Not talking over meals is supposed to be good for the health . It is impolite if people do not talk to each other during a social party . The table arrangements and serving order for a social party are equally complicated . Each dish should be placed in the correct position . When fish is served , the tail should be pointing at the guest because tail meat is supposed to be tasty . If it is in winter , the stomach should face the right-hand side of the guest because that portion of the fish is very rich in winter . Each dish should be commenced by the eldest person who is seated at the head of the table . The diners should sit close to the table so food won ’ t drop on their cloths . No noise should be made when chewing . No one should move food back to the communal plate even if he doesn ’ t like it . One should drink soup slowly and is not supposed to make a lot of noise . All these table manners are very similar to Western habits . +It seems that people share the same basic sense of etiquette regardless of their background . Apart from the different tools used for eating we seem to follow the same principles . We do not let inappropriate manners spoil other people ’ s appetite.Westerners like to say , “ bon appetite ” before meals which is one way to suggest “ mind your table manners . ” Is there such an expression in Chinese ? +Yes . We say “ eat well and drink well . ” +Can I help you ? +No , thanks . I'm just looking . +Is this taxi taken ? +No , madam . May I help you ? +Yes . Will you take me to the station ? +No problem.Step in , please . +Thanks . +Actually , you can take advantage of our " New Millennium Woman " promotion . +Does that include some kind of " Love , Amy Card " ? +Yes . If your " Love , Amy " purchases amount to 10,000 NT or more , you get a V . I . P . card and a 20 percent discount . +Mmmm ... I'll have to think about it . +OK . Just think for a bit . I'll go help another customer . I'll be right back . +My name is James Owen . I ’ m Manager of Sales . How do you do ? +How do you do ? +Thank you for coming . Did you have any trouble finding the office ? +Oh , no . It was easy . Your office sent me a map . +I apologize for this mess . They ’ Ve got me handling so many projects , and it ’ s hard to keep things organized . +That ’ s OK . Thank you for seeing me . +Well . Miss Sun , as you know , we are looking for an executive secretary with good English skills and some business background . We looked over your resume and thought you might be a good candidate . +Thank you . +Today's interview is for us to get to know a little about you . If needed , there will be a more lengthy interview later . So , if you ’ re comfortable , let's begin . +OK . +So how did you like the restaurant ? +Actually , it could have been better . +What didn't you like about it ? +It is a new restaurant . I don't think they have their act together yet . +What did you think about the food ? +I felt that the food was pretty mediocre . +The service wasn't that great , either . +I agree . The service was not good . +Do you think that you want to try this restaurant another time ? +No , I think that I've had enough of this restaurant . +How do you feel ? +I like the style but it is a little tight in the waist . +Here is the bigger size . +This one fits me well but it is too expensive , can you make it a little cheaper ? +Have you watched any of the talent shows on TV ? +Yes , I've watched the finale for the ' Super Girl ' . The producer is very smart to copy the program from the US , which is quite fresh and eye-catching for mainland audiences . +Yeah , and they know exactly what the audiences have in mind . Everyone desires equal opportunities and a channel to climb up the social ladder all the way to the highest in society . +That ' s why the program has attracted so many star-wanna-bes . +But it seems that these talent shows are getting less popular these days . There's no such program on this year . +Yeah , these programs are gradually losing their appeal . +No surprise . The over-the-top promotion has ruined the audiences ' appetite . +And they lack originality . Talent shows like ' Super Girl ' and ' Super Boy ' are largely clones of ' The American Idol ' . +The same is true for ' My Hero ' . Winners of the contest used to star in the TV series ' The Frog Prince ' . +I think producers are underestimating the audience . They should think of better ways to entertain the general public . +This is the rush hour . +I noticed there ’ s a jam a few blocks away . +Let ’ s drive off this road . +I ’ m afraid I ’ ll be late . +Excuse me , how can I get special discount coupons ? +Buy more and get more special discount coupons . +Can I get a discount coupon if I buy these goods ? +Of course You get a coupon for every 3 bags of sugar . +But how much discount can I get if I use it to buy goods next time ? +10 pence off if you use this coupon . +Can I buy everything in the supermarket by it ? . +Yeah , you need to take advantage of it within its expiry date . +How long can I keep it ? +The coupon can be used at least one year . +I see . I will take 9 bags of sugar so that I can get 3 coupons . +All right . I will get them for you . +My wife is in labor ! +Here , Ma ’ am please get on the stretcher . +Is Doctor Hawkins here ? She ’ s our doctor . We called her from the car . +Calm down , sir . We ’ ll call her to make sure she ’ s on the way . +Thanks . Sorry . It just came as such a surprise . The baby isn ’ t due for another two weeks . +How long has she been in labor ? +About fifteen minutes . +O . K . Are you planning on being in the delivery room , sir ? +Yes . +Please follow the nurse . She ’ ll get you ready . +Ange , can your dog do any tricks yet ? +Oh , yeah ! He can sit down , roll over , and even play dead . +Really ? Does he chase balls ? +Yup.Hey , do you want to see a picture ? See , he's eating lunch . +This can't be the same dog . He's so clean , he shines . +See , he's wagging his tail . +He's really cute . His bowl even has his name on it . +Good morning , miss . +Good morning , I'd like a haircut . +How would you like it ? +Just a trim will do . +Hello , what can I do for you ? +Hello . I'm sorry to tell you that I've lost my credit card this morning . I want to report the loss and replace a card . +Don't worry . I will help you soon . Please fill in this form first . And write down your name , your account number and the amount in your card please . +Done ! +OK . May I see your ID card ? ( B passed his ID card . ) Please wait for a moment . Let me go and check the account . ( A few minutes later . ) We have locked your card . You can come here to renew the account and get a new card a week later . Your money will not be lost . +Thank goodness . +Please pay 10 yuan , the handling charge . +OK ! Thank you very much . See you a week later . +See you ! +Nice to meet you . +It ’ s very nice meeting you , too . +I ’ m excited to speak to a candidate . +What would you like to ask me ? +What is your stand on gay marriage ? +I feel that people can love who they want . +So , would you make gay marriage legal ? +Of course ! +I ’ m sure plenty of people won ’ t like that . +I can ’ t help that . +I like that . +I hope so . +What can I do for you ? +I'd like to have a sightseeing tour in South Africa . Do you provide a package tour ? +Yes , sir . +What interesting places shall we visit ? +We'll visit the generally well-known spots . +How many days shall we spend on the trip ? +Five days ' time will be OK . +Sounds good . +Excuse me . Could you help me ? +Certainly . What can I do for you ? +I'm looking for a leather belt for my husband . +Do you know what size he wears ? +Size 36 . . . I think . +And what color would you like ? +Dark brown , if you have it . +Okay . Let's see . . . a size 36 dark brown leather belt . Oh , yes . Her e we are . Do you think your husband will like this one ? +Yes . I'm sure he will . I'll take it . +Will this be cash or charge ? +Do you take Master Card ? +No , I'm afraid not . We only accept our own store credit card . +Oh . In that case , I'll pay cash . +What do you think about all the different diets that people go on ? +I don't think dieting is good for you . It's much better to eat a balanced diet and to never get overweight to begin with ! +But what do you think about people who are obese ? What should they do to lose weight ? +They need to eat healthy foods , but they also have to increase the amount of physical exercise every day . They don't have to cut out fattening foods altogether , though . +So you think it's OK for people who are dieting to eat chocolate , don't you ? +Sure , they can eat some chocolate . As long as they are exercising and eating mostly healthy foods , there's nothing wrong with having a small dessert . +How about drinking soda ? +Many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda . Soda should be treated seriously ; there's simply no nutritional value in it whatsoever . +And have you ever tried taking vitamins ? +I used to take vitamins every day , but I don't take them anymore . Vitamins are good as a supplement , but they don't do much good if you don't have a well-balanced diet to start . +How do you know so much about food and dieting ? +You might not believe this , but I used to be twice the size that I am now ! +How are you making out these days ? +He is a dishonest man and always tells a cock and bull story . +Hello , is that Miss Lan ? This is Nina with Huawei Corp . +Yes , speaking . +I'd like to tell you that you could come to work with us . +Oh , I'm sorry , but I've just accepted another offer that I feel is more suitable to my needs . +I see . +I have a good feeling about this house . +Yes , I liked it the first moment I pulled up to it . +I love the paint job ! +If you like the outside , you are going to really love the inside . +What a beautiful home ! +You ’ ll notice that the window treatments , carpeting , and drapes are all new . +I like the way the blinds give you privacy from the street . +Follow me into the kitchen . You will love it . +I love that they put a wine storage area in the kitchen . +The best part is the bedroom and attached bathroom . +I love the relaxing colors in the tile and floor covering ! +Let ’ s take a few pictures so that we can remember what we like about this home . +Can I help you , Sir ? +Yes , I'd like to withdraw some money . +Fill in the slip , stating the exact amount you wish to withdraw , please . +OK . Here's my bank book , is that all right ? +OK , do you want large notes or small ones ? +In 50 Yuan or 100 Yuan would be fine . +Here's the cash for you . +Thanks . +Can you offer the Five Insurances for me ? +Yes , we have insurance against old age , medical problems , unemployment , work injury and childbirth . +How are they get paid ? +Insurance against old age , medical problems , unemployment will be paid by both the company and you , and the others by the company . +I received an eviction notice from you , and I don ’ t understand what it means . +Well , you are behind in your rent ; it ’ s a 30 - day notice to vacate . +You can ’ t make me move just for being late with my rent . +You have been late with your rent several times now . I am filing suit for back rent to protect myself . +Are you throwing me out ? +This notice is to let you know that you will be evicted by a sheriff if you don ’ t make good on your rent . +If I catch up on my rent , can I stay ? +You can stay if you catch up and stay caught up .

I've even e-mailed some people who had bought from the person who sold this bag . +And people are honest ? +They said he was an honest and professional businessman . But that's the exciting part . It's kind of like gambling ... +Good morning Mr Smith . My name is Susan and I am a reporter for the Evening Star . +Good morning .

It says that you were charged Monday at 9:00 p . m . for the movie ' Titanic . ' +That's absolutely wrong ! I was out exploring the city Monday night . +Okay , let me see what I can do for you . +Thank you . I didn't think it would be this simple . +I can take the $ 10 off your bill , but I need to charge you $ 2 for the service . +Are you serious ? I have to pay $ 2 for a movie I never watched ? +Unfortunately , sir , it's how the computer is programmed . +This is outrageous ! I'm never coming back to this hotel again ! +I'm sorry , sir . Perhaps you'd like to write a letter to headquarters . +First of all , I would like to thank you for your kind invitation to visit your beautiful country . I hope my visit will help to promote a friendly relationship between us . +We've been looking forward to your visit . It is a great pleasure for us to have you as our guest . It is always more convenient to discuss things face to face . +I would like to tell you that my clients are very satisfied with the last delivery of your slippers . The styles and colors are very much to the taste of our market . +We've received some similar comments from other Australian firms too . +I understand you are selling the same products to some other Australian importers . This tends to complicate my business . As you know , I am experienced in the business of slippers and enjoy a good business relationship with all the leading whole - sabers and retailers in that line . I have a mind to expand this business in the years to come . One of the reasons of my visit here is to sign a sole agency agreement with you on these items for a period of 3 years . As it is to our mutual interests and profit , I am sure you'll have no objection to it . +We appreciate your good intention and your effort in pushing the sale of our slippers . As you know , the demand for this item in your market is quite substantial . However , according to our records , the total amount of your order last year was moderate , which does not warrant an agency appointment . Unless you increase the turnover we can hardly appoint you our sole agent . +I'll come to that . My proposal is +As far as I remember , we sold about 40,000 pairs last year to you alone . Don't you think this annual turnover is rather conserve - time for a sole agent ? +Well , I admit I always do business on the safe side . Could you let me have your proposal then ? +Let's put it this way . I propose a sole agency agreement for Ladies and gents plastic slippers ( excluding children's ) for a duration of 3 years ; 60,000 pairs to be sold in the first year , 70,000 pairs in the second year , and 80,000 pairs in the third year , the area is to be within the continent of Australia ( excluding any neighboring island ) , commission 5 % . +You certainly drive a hard bargain , Mrs . Brown . +On the contrary , Mr . London , we value your friendship more than anything else . We both understand our slippers are very popular in your market on account of their superior quality and compete - time price . And with the sole agency in your hand , there will be no competition and you can easily control the market , which would naturally result in bigger sales . I'm sure you can fulfill the agreement without much difficulty . +Well , if you put it this way , I'll have to comply . When shall we sign the contract , Mrs . Brown ? +Tomorrow afternoon . +Tomorrow afternoon will be fine . +Can you direct me to some fresh produce that's on sale ? +Well , we've got some great mangoes on sale . +Mangoes ? What are mangoes ? +Well , it's a fruit with a big seed in it . +Can you eat the seed ? +No . Peel the skin with a sharp knife , and throw out the seed . +Well , how much are they ? +Well , they're on sale today for only $ 1 each . +Can you describe their taste ? +They usually taste sweet , but they remind me of an orange . +How can I tell if they're ripe ? +You can buy them either ripe or unripe . Unripe ones are hard . +Where do they grow mangoes ? +The ones that are on sale are from Central America . +I have a package to post today . +Yes , what's in the package , madam ? +Well , it has a cassette record ... a cassette tape . +How would you like to send it ? +By airmail please . +Do you want to insure it ? +Yes , I'd like to insure it for 20 dollars . How much shall I pay altogether ? +3 dollars . +Would you like to see our new shirts ? +Sorry , I'm not really that interested in those things . +They are very nice , you know . +Really ? +And not expensive either . +Oh . I don't care about that . +Everybody's buying them . +Are they ? +Yes , they are very fashionable , you see . +I'm afraid I'm not interested in fashion . There are so many other really important things in the world . +How much would it cost to send this special delivery to England ? +Just a second . I'll have to check that . Anything else I can do for you ? +Yes . I'd like to send a $ 20 money order . +There you go . +I need to go to the bank . +But they are closed today . +Closed ? Are you kidding ? What is it , some kind of holiday today ? +Have you already forgotten ? What's the date today ? +Oh , it's the first of April , April fool's day +You forgot all about it , didn't you ? +So I have , but I has reminded me at least one thing I need to remember . +What's that ? +Tomorrow is my wife's birthday . +Better not forget that , so kill you if you don't get her something . +What reasons do westerners drink for ? +I don't think drinking requires any special purposes . For us people in the West , the purpose is generally quite simple-to savor the wine . +I know what you mean there . In many circumstances , people kiss the baby for the nurse's sake . And that's what we do when drinking at a banquet . Even though we do have a rich variety of brand-name wines , like Matai and Showing Yellow Rice Wine , alcohol is usually served not for the enjoyment itself . We just be its Dionysus effect to enliven the atmosphere , improve personal association with each other and solidify friendship . +And to make matters worse , you're urged to drink " one more cup time and again.There is too much etiquette to observe . You'II be set free at a Western banquet It seems we are keen to make it convenient as possible to savor the wine , its color , its aroma and its delicate taste . +Yeah . It's of supreme importance that the goblet , table-cloth , and plates should be made shiningly clean , so that the color of the wine is clearly visible and the delicate aroma and taste are fully appreciable . +Yes . For me , who can't hold much liquor , it's particularly agreeable . If only I had thechance to enjoy Chinese Matai at a leisured pace while sitting at a Western banquet ! +This is a very beautiful statue . What's it called ? +It's called ' Endless Love ' . It was a gift from a sister city in Australia for the 100th anniversary of the city . +100th anniversary ? When was that ? +Just two months ago . There were very big celebrations and there was a spectacular fireworks display . I took part in the great parade myself . +Sounds real good . It's a pity that I missed that . +Yes . We all loved the celebration of our city's birthday . It made the people feel so proud of our city . +An interesting meeting , isn't it ? +Yes , very . I thought the last speaker was especially good . +Let me introduce myself , by the way , my name is Dick Brown . +How do you do ? I'm Mary Green . +Sorry , what was your last name again ? +Green , G-R-E-E-N , but just call me Mary . +OK . I'm Dick . +Glad to meet you . +Excuse me , is there a Post Office around here ? +Yes . There's one on the corner of 23th street . +How do I get there from here ? +Just walk north for 3 blocks . It's next to the Mexico restaurant . +How far is that ? +Oh , very close . Maybe 5 minutes walk . +Take me to this address , please . +Yes , ma'am . Here we are . +How much do I owe you , sir ? +30 dollars , ma'am . +Are you kidding ? The meter says 15 dollars , doesn't it ? +Yes , but we need some extra charge and some tip , too . +I don't get it . I'll go and have that doorman talk to you then . +OK , ma'am . Calm down , 15 dollars will do . +Carla , I know you ’ re kind of new in this business and I want to give you some advice . +Yes , Mr . Michael ? +You have to listen to what the client asks for . What you have just shown me is not at all in line with the client ’ s wishes . +I ’ m sorry , Mr . Michael . Could you tell me where the problems are exactly ? Maybe I misunderstood the client ’ s intentions . +Could you show me my bill ? +Here you are.That comes to 120 yuan . +Can I have it charged to my account , please ? +Certainly , sir.Would you sign here , please ? ... Thank you . +The bonus season is coming . How much of a bonus can I expect ? +I think you will get a big bonus , because you always have high sales . +I hope so . I think you will get a big bonus too . Bonus depends on your performance and you worked overtime almost every day . +Yes , I am expecting to get the bonus . I hope we will both get the salary and bonus . +Hope so ! +I am going on a business trip to Guangzhou next Monday morning . +To visit our supplier ? +Yes , as the New Year is coming , they ’ re organizing a party for all their customers . +Well , I guess you will meet many people in this field . So don ’ t forget to pack enough business cards in your suitcase . +Sure . +By the way , do you know that our company just made some changes in the business trip policy ? +No , no one has informed me of that so far , tell me . +Ok , there is no cash advance anymore for short trips . You have to pay out of your own pocket , so save all the receipts from your business trip . And then attach them to your expense account . When you get back , our company will reimburse everything . +I see . What about the maximum purdy and rate , any change ? +I am not sure . You can check with the finance department . +I will call them this afternoon , thanks . +You ’ re welcome . Have a nice trip . +Are you ready for your big interview tomorrow ? +What ’ s to get ready ? +Lots ! Have you done any research about the company ? +Nope . +Have you updated your CV ? +Nope . +Excuse me , sir . What would you like to eat , Chinese food or western food ? +I'd like to have Chinese food . +Are you going to have this set course or have dinner in the dining room ? +Right here , please . +Please put down the table in front of you . It's more comfortable that way . +Oh , thank you . So nice you are . +It's my pleasure . What would you like to drink , milk , tea , coffee , orange juice or iced water ? +I want a cup of bean milk . Do you have any ? +Yes , here you are . Enjoy your meal . +Thanks a lot . Oh , excuse me . Can I take two value meals ? And I want some chili paste . +OK , enjoy yourself , sir . +Oh , sorry to bother you . I want to know what kind of meat it is . +It is beef . Do you like it ? +That's OK . Thanks very much . +You are welcome . Please press that button if you need any help . +OK . +Hello , can I help you ? +Yes . Do you have a pharmacy here , please ? +Sure . We have one on the second floor . +Which floor are we on now ? +This is the first floor . The second floor is one level up . +And where's the elevator ? +That's just over there . On the right . +How about going swimming ? +OK . Where should we go ? +Why don't we go down to the pool ? It's not too far from here . +Fine . I'll be ready in a minute . +Do you take vitamin pills regularly ? +No , I don't , do you ? +Yes . Maybe you should do it too . You may not get enough vitamins from your food , you know . +But , I don't believe in taking pills to get enough vitamins . +How's that . +Because it's better , easier and cheaper to get them from the food we eat . +Kim , have you made contact with Mr . Lee ? +Not yet , Mr . Wang . But I'm working on it . +What seems to be the problem ? +I just keep getting a busy signal . +Maybe his phone is out of order . Anyway , keep working on it . I really need an answer about the contract I sent him . +All right , I'll let you know when I get through . +How do I set up an E-mail account ? +Oh , that's easy . Go to www.onxiu.cn . Now , click on the link with the picture of an envelope . +Which link ? +That one , the one that says Mail . +Oh , no . What did I do ? It's asking me for a password . +Don't worry .

The computer will do the rest . +Do you get up early every morning ? +About 6 in the morning . I like to walk to the office . +Good habit . How long does it take ? +About 20 minutes . Do you live alone ? +No , my little sister lives with me . +How old is she ? +About 12 . She is a good girl . +I think so . +do you have a minute ? +sure , what would you like to discuss ? +I've made a tough decision , sir . Here's my resignation . +well , I have to tell you that I'm quite surprised . Is there any possible way to change your mind ? +I'm afraid not , sir . I've made up my mind . It's something I have to do . +can I ask why ? Were you unhappy working for us ? +oh , no . not at all . +are you planning on studying abroad ? +no , sir . +have you been given a better offer ? +Oh , no . I would never look for another job while working here . I think this is a fantastic place to work . +well , what's the problem then ? +it's my mother . She's sick and needs someone to take care of her . I'm the only one who can do it . +I'm sorry to hear that , but you don't need to quit over that . Why don't you just take a leave of absence ? We can hold your job for you until your mother gets better . +really ? I didn't know that would be possible . +sure , we'd be carry to lose a good worker like you . +thanks , sir . +It ’ s very nice to meet you . +Nice meeting you , too . +I can ’ t believe I ’ m actually speaking to a candidate . +You can ask me questions , if you ’ d like . +I want to ask you what your policy is on gay marriage . +Everyone should be able to love who they want . +Would you make gay marriage legal ? +I sure would . +I know a lot of people wouldn ’ t agree with that . +That ’ s not my problem . +I think that is really cool of you . +I ’ m glad to hear that . +Hey , Susan . Have you got a sec ? I have some questions about my paycheck . +You bet , Emily . Pull up a chair . +Well , this is my first paycheck here in the States and there are a few things I don't understand . First of all , what is this FICA , and SUI Y tax , and why are there deductions both for Medicare and for my health insurance plan ? +OK , let's start from the top of your pay stub . This number here represents your gross pay . +Then here we have a series of deductions . First off are the federal ones . FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contribution Act , or something like that . It's your federal income tax . And then there's Social Security and Medicare , which are both federal programs to help you out after you retire or if you were unable to work . +All right , I see . So the Medicare isn't actually a health insurance I can use now . +That's right . Below the federal deductions are the state deductions . There's the state income tax , and then this SUI / SDI tax you were asking about is paying into an unemployment and disability fund that our state has set up , but you can see it's a pretty small quantity that they take . +Yeah , I don't mind giving them a dollar fifty for that . So there are two separate income taxes — one at a state level and one at a federal level ? +That's right . Not all states have an income tax . Some use higher property taxes or sales taxes instead . +I see . All right , well I think everything else I can figure out on my own . The deductions for health insurance and my 401 ( K ) are pretty self-explanatory . Thanks for your help , Susan . +No problem ! All those deductions do add up , and nobody's net pay is as high as they'd like . I can understand why you'd want some explanation . +Yeah , I guess it's the same in the UK , I just never paid much attention . See you later ! +Hello . How can we be of service ? +I'm here to see about a Fixed Asset Loan . +OK , are you already an account holder ? +Yes , I am . But I'm not sure if I'm eligible . +To find out if you are eligible for our Fixed Asset Loan , we will have to look at various aspects of your business , such as your long-term business prospects , your cash flow , your profitability , your capital structure ... +For my credit worthiness ? +Yes , and then other qualitative factors , such as the transparency of your business operations , your credibility and the integrity of your management . +Hello sir , how can I help you ? +Yes , I need this prescription please . +Let ’ s see . Okay , so 50 mg of Prozac , would you prefer this in capsule or tablet ? +Capsules are fine . +Okay , you should take 1 capsule 3 times a day.Be sure not to take it on an empty stomach , and also , don ’ t ever mix it with alcohol ! +Yes , I know . It ’ s not the first time I ’ m taking this ! Don ’ t worry , I won ’ t overdose ! +Okay , anything else I can get you ? +Oh , yes , I almost forgot ! Can I also get some eye drops and um , some condoms ? +Sure . Darn condoms aren ’ t registered in our system . +Oh , well that ’ s okay , I ’ ll get some later , thanks ... Really it ’ s no problem . +Just hang on there a sec .

I can't guarantee 1 500 cases , I'd prefer the first shipment to be 1,000 cases and the next 2,000 cases . +I can agree to that . +Let me affirm this again - the first shipment of 1,000 cases , to be delivered in 27 days , by June 30 , and the second shipment of 2,000 cases by August 15 .

But wholesales are unwilling to supply my orders unless I pay them an advance of 50 % of the full price , for my business is fairly new . I hope that you can make me an advance on loan . +Do you have stocks or a title deed of a house to pledge as security ? +No . I should be grateful if you could see your way to make an advance against my personal reputation . You may inspect my accounts . From my accounts you can see that I've promptly met all my obligations . +We do not allow any request for a loan against personal security . This is a common regulation . But we may consider it if you can provide a reliable guarantor . +Yes , I can . You know Mr . Macready , the famous car dealer here in New York . He agreed to act as my guarantor of a loan in the sum of US $ l0 , 000 until the end of this year . +Good . He is a man of high standing . I think we can grant the loan you need after some further discussion . But I suggest you borrow on overdraft instead of on loan . +Hey Sarah , I'm having some trouble finding an apartment .

First , though , she had to discover her true cat nature . At the end she had a big fight with Sharon Stone , who was the real danger in the company . She had actually murdered the boss , who was her husband , and then tried to frame Batwoman for the murder , so everyone thought Batwoman was evil . +I see . Batwoman married the boss ? +No . Sharon Stone was married to the boss , who treated her badly , so she killed him . So where was I ? OK , so then , at the same time she fell in love with a cop , who was investigating the murder of the boss . Finally , she ditched the cop to follow her feline nature . +Wait a minute , I'm lost . The cop killed the boss ? +No , Sharon Stone did . +And Sharon Stone is Batwoman ? +Haven't you been listening to a word I've been saying ? +Can I help you , Ma'am ? +I need a phone card for this new cell phone . +Cool phone .

I ’ Ve put them all in the skin and there ’ s a peeler . +Ok , I ’ ll peel the vegetables and you chop them . I ’ m terrible at chopping vegetables . I always seem to chop them into pieces that are either too big or too small . ... wow ! You can chop vegetable really quickly , just like professional chefs on TV ! +After you ’ Ve chopped the vegetables , could you fry the meat in a little oil ? Just use a very small amount of oil . Fry the meat until it is cooked , then we ’ ll add some spices to flavor it . +Which spices are you going to add to the meat ? +These ones here . The one on the left is very spicy , so we must be careful about how much we add . +Yes . We don't want everyone to burn their mouths and have a drink gallons of water ! OK . I ’ m really to do the meat . Should I cook it over a low flame ? +Cook it over a high flame , so that it will be ready quickly . Keep stirring the meat around the frying pan . Don ’ t let the meat stick to the bottom of the pan . +Right . What are you doing over there ? +I ’ m mixing the sauce . It ’ s my specialty . I make it according to my own secret recipe ! +Bad news , I'm afraid . Our supplier has gone bust .

One is to break down the chemicals in the plastic into smaller chemical particles . These can then be used in the production of new chemicals . +Is that the method you use here ? +No , we don't do that here . We recycle polyethylene and we make it into other products . +How do you do that ? +By melting it down and then reforming it .

How about this route ? +It looks fine . Is this an inclusive tour ? +No , sir , you have to deal with your own meal since we charge you only $ 80 for the trip . +Is this taxi taken ? +No , madam.May I help you ? +Yes.Will you take me to the station ? +No problem.Step in , please . +Thanks . +Ben , what are you doing ? +Well , I would say that I ’ m just drifting - - - here , in the pool . +Why ? +Well , it ’ s very comfortable just to drift here . +Have you thought about graduate school ? +No . +Would you mind telling me then — what were those four years of college for ? What was the point of all that hard work ? +You got me . +Now listen , Ben . Look , I think it ’ s a very good thing that a young man — after he ’ s done some very good work — should have a chance to relax and enjoy himself , and lie around , and drink beer and so on . But after a few weeks I believe that person would want to take some stock in himself and his situation and start to think about getting off his ass . +Hello .

I told you we had to get an early start . +I know , but that movie was just too good to leave . I guess I'll just have to pay the price and be sleepy . +Do you want to eat breakfast here ? +No , Why don't we just grad a bite at the coffee shop next door ? +Okay by me . +Do you know the circulation of this magazine ? +You mean this month ? +Oh , yes , how's it ? +Over 2 million . +Hi , I'm home !

Thanks very much for calling . See you soon , bye ! +Could you show me the way to the railway station ? +Yes , of course . +Would you like to be my guide ? +I'd be very pleased . +What characteristics should an interpreter own ? +I think he should be an expert of everything . +Why is that ? +Because English is nothing but a tool which is used when people may negotiate in international conferences , probe into physics , release some information in a press conferrence , and do anything we can do with language . Therefore , an interpreter has to know some expertise in the field he / she serves as an interpreter . Otherwise he / she can not carry out his / her work smoothly . +Well , Miss Liu , I've enjoyed talking with you . Thank you for your interest in this job . +It's my honor , Mr . Mike .

They have done a very good job this time . +I'm glad our booth is on the first floor . More people can see our display . +If someone wants to find us , they can look at this floor plan.It shows where all the companies have their booths . +Let me see that . I didn't get one when I came in . +Really ? They didn't give you one with your ticket ? +No . +That's strange . +Where do you go for lunch around here ? +Are you hungry ? +Not too bad . But I will be soon . +I went across the street . There is a good Chinese restaurant next to the hotel . +I can't see Cortex on this floor plan . Don't they have a booth here ? +They must . Let me look at that.Here it is . Cortex . It's on the second floor , next to the Roll booth . +Oh , that will be uncomfortable for them . +For whom ? Cortex ? +Yes . Cortex just stole Darren McDowell from Rolly.And probably Darren will be here.So he will have to spend the whole show standing next to his old Cortex coworkers . +I've never met Darren.But you're right . That would probably be uncomfortable . +When you reserve a booth , you should check who your neighbors will be.Don ' t you think ? +Yes , maybe . If you're Darren McDowell , you should probably check . +Yes . Well , I think I'll go get lunch . Will you join me ? +No , I'll stay here at the booth . I ate earlier .

Li , does the recommendation of the university play an important role in job hitting ? +Yes . In fact , the recommendation is a way of indirect self-recommendation . The university and the business have a long-term relationship . If you are recommended by your university , you can be approved more easily . +But I doubt the authority because most of the recommendation letters of the university are the same . +More and more people have the same discoveries since most of the universities do that in order to save effort . +Can I help you , sir ? +Hello , may I make an appointment for sometime early this afternoon ? +I'm sorry . All the appointments are filled . +Oh , what a pity . I'd like to see the doctor as soon as possible . I have a sharp pain in my chest . +Let me see ...

I hope I haven ’ t lost it . +Perhaps you left that at school . +No , I had it when I left school this afternoon . +Well . Didn ’ t you go around to the Smith after school ? You might have left it there . +Yes , I ’ d better give her a call now . +But she can ’ t be home now . She might have gone to the library . +Perhaps I should call her later . +Hi , I'm back ! Hmm ... your hair is pretty damaged , and you've got split ends . +Really ? What can I do ? +Well , the trim should fix the split ends , but you might need a deep conditioning treatment . +Umm , OK .

I ’ d just like to push it up to next week . I ’ ll have a lot more free time at the beginning of next week . +Well , I don ’ t like it , but I guess I don ’ t have any choice . +I ’ d like to apply for a secretarial position . +Very well , do you know any shorthand ? +No , but I can write very fast . +Can you use the computer or other office machines ? +No , but I ’ d like to learn how to use them . +Yes , I see , this is a permanent position . +Can you work every day from 9 to 5 ? +Oh , no , I ’ m student at a university , and I have to study most of the time . I can only work part time . +I couldn ’ t possibly hire you . You can ’ t take shorthand , you can ’ t use a computer , and you can only work part time . +Is it true that rice is the staple food in most of Southeast Asia ? +I'm not an expert , but that's the impression I have . +Is rice your staple food , too ? +Needless to say , as a Westerner , it's bread . +Waiter , please make out the bill . +OK , sir .

Are you hungry ? +Not really . +Oh . Did you pick up the suits from the cleaners ? +Yes I did . +Good . Are you going to the pub tonight ? +Yes . I'll be back at the same time as usual . +Good morning . I came in answer to your advertisement for a salesperson . +I see . Will you walk this way , please ? What experience have you had ? +I'm afraid I haven't had any experience in just this sort of work . I'm studying business administration in college . I want to get a job that would tie in with my studies . +Have you got any selling experience at all ? +I worked in a department store in a small town last summer vacation . +Now tell me about your educational background . +I graduated from Beijing University . I majored in business administration . +What courses have you completed ? +The courses I completed are marketing , business law , business English , statistics , marketing principles , sales management , distribution theory , economies and psychology . +What subjects did you like most at university ? +I liked sales strategies most . +Why would you like to work with us ? +It's an interesting job , and your company is one of the best known . Although I have no work experience as a salesperson , the job description you sent was very interesting . It's a job I've been dreaming of when I was at university . +What are your future plans and what kind of expectations do you have of the company ? +I have an interest in marketing and I would consider graduate study in business in the future . I think my goals will become more clear as I gain experience in sales and marketing . +Good . Do you know anything about this company ? +Yes , a little . As you mentioned just now , yours is an American capital company . As far as I know your company is a world famous one which produces cosmetics and skincare products . +Have you got anything to ask me ? +Will traveling be required in this position ? +Yes . +How often ? +Three times a year at most . How do you feel about this ? +That's fine . +May I come in ? +Yeah , Please do . Now let me show you the house . +This seems a pretty nice room , I should say . +You bet . This is the nicest room in the district . You know what , I just had all the walls repainted last month . +What about the kitchen ? +It's a well furnished eat-in kitchen . The stove and the ice-box are in good order , and the plumbing is OK , too . +I see . I'd like to live here for about three years . +Terrific ! When are you moving in ? +Next Saturday at the earliest . +May I help you ? +I'm just browsing , thanks . +We're on clearance sale now . Prices have up to twenty percent off . Do not miss the chance . +Well , how about fifty percent discount ? If so , I'll buy that fur coat . +Madam , you know we ’ re clearing out stock now . It ’ s a real bargain . +So won ’ t you come down any more ? +Thirty percent discount , OK ? That ’ s the lowest price . +What kind of promotional events are scheduled for the new product line ? +Marketing has us set up with product launches in five major cities , as well as some sponsoring events throughout the year . All together , there will be 15 events . +What kind of sponsoring are we talking about ? I don't know how effective sponsorship really is ... +It's not what you're thinking . These events will give us a wider exposure than most . Take the tri-city marathon for starters . This is a highly publicized event . The television exposure alone will nearly double our customer awareness . +Other than the marathon , what else is on the list ? +We've got a spot in Olympic Stadium sponsoring one of a team's equipment , then a rally for cancer research , and a connection to the inner-city education program . +Sports , medicine , education ... seems kind of random , don't you think ? +It might seem that way , but this events were all carefully chosen based on marketing research . These are the events that our customers and potential customers care about . +I'm checking out in about half an hour . +Whenever you're ready to check out , I'll be ready , sir . +Great ! As you know however , the day in New York has hardly begun . +You're right . It's only 9 +Therefore , I think I'll explore New York some more . But I need to store my bags . +Sir , our storage facility is merely $ 5 an hour . You also need to leave a deposit . +My luggage isn't enough of a deposit ? +Unfortunately , it isn't . VISA or MasterCard will suffice , though . +Well , then . Let me put on my thinking cap for a moment . +Better hurry , sir . Remember you have to check out in less than half an hour . +I'd like to buy some postcards of Beijing . +How about this set ? +Looks nice . Okay , I'll take it . +Your resume says you have had one years experience working in a foreign representative office in Shanghai , may I ask why you quit ? +I worked in a foreign representative office for one year . However , I leave there two years ago because the work they gave me was rather dull . I found another job that was more interesting . +Have you done any work in this field ? What have you learned from the jobs you have had ? +I have learned a lot about business know-how and basic office skills . In addition , I learned at my previous jobs how to cooperate with my colleagues . +Jenny , you should go to bed now . +But it's still early . +Don't stay up late . +But Day . I'm not sleepy . +Well , honey . Turn off the light , lie down and go to sleep . +I can't believe that . +What ? +I've never heard Mary cursed anybody . But I heard she cursed another driver when she drove me back home today . +Oh . Why did she do that ? +The car behind ours suddenly accelerated and hit our Car . +Sis , why did you ask me to come to this bargain market ? It's so crowded , and you can't find anything that you really want . +You just don't get it . Looking for bargains can be really interesting . +Are you serious ? How can that be ? +Bargaining is a game , or even a battle . You feel like a winner when you get a good price . +Come on . You know , you can never really win . The salesperson never loses . They make their living out of it . +That's true . But I just love it . Come here ! +Oh , this silk carpet is really beautiful . Look at the pattern , and how delicate it is ! +You do have great taste . That's the most expensive stuff here . +Really ? Oh , this one . I like the cloisonn vase . +Are you kidding me ? I bought a same one last week . It's surprising that there is something we both like . Well , what do you think of these ceramic cups ? +Come on . They look so cheap . Something else , please . +What about this picture ? I think Benjamin would like it . +Don't underestimate his taste . I don't think he'd like it . +Don't be so sure . He loves the vase I bought here last week . +Yeah . Well , anyway , it's up to you . But I can tell that you come here often . +Absolutely . That's why I can always get a good price . +Say , how about having Chinese food for a change ? +Great idea ! I like authentic Chinese food . +Let's see what we'll take . +Pork steamed with rice flour , jelly fish and egg soup . +That's it ! +Hey , Tom , what to go for a run ? +No thanks . I like to run in the morning . I ran a couple of miles when I woke up today . +I try to do that , but I can ’ t get up early enough . +I couldn ’ t either at first , but you get used to it . +It ’ s so hot at lunchtime ; I ’ d rather run in the morning . +Well , why don ’ t you come tomorrow ? I ’ ll stop by your house on my way out . +I could try , but I can ’ t say for sure if I ’ ll get up in time . What time do you want to go ? +I ’ ll give you a call around 6:00 and stop by around 6:30 . +O . K . , maybe if I have someone to go with , I ’ ll be able to get up in time for a jog . +Great , I ’ ll see you then . +See you . +Could I have a word with you ? +Sure , what is it ? +I am disappointed with your work lately . +I'm sorry . I've been having some problems . +Here comes the bus . I'll ring you up later . +See you ! +See you ! +Were you able to contact the owners about my counter-offer ? +Yes , please have a seat , and we ’ ll discuss this right now . +I hope that they accepted the counter-offer . +The counter-offer was acceptable to them , but they want you to pay for the home inspection . +Will the home inspection cost me a lot ? +It can cost as little as five hundred dollars and as much as one thousand dollars . +Is it my choice as to who inspects this house ? +Yes , it is your choice as you are paying for it . Make a wise investment and choose the best inspector you can find . +How long until you contact the sellers with my acceptance ? +Let ’ s call them right now . I am sure that they will be happy to hear that you have agreed to pay for the inspection . +Have you got anything to declare , madam ? +No , I haven't . +Have you got any wine or spirits ? +No , I don't drink . +What about cigarettes or cigars ? +I've got some cigars . +How many , madam ? +Two small boxes . +How do you understand the organizational structure of a company ? +The organizational structure is the company's framework of communication and authority . +Is it true that just like a human skeleton that defines their shapes , companies have structures that define theirs ? +Yes , you are right . +Hello . Dr . Brown ’ s Dental Office . How can I help you ? +Hi , this is Susan Smith . I ’ m calling about my appointment with Doctor Brown today at 3 +What happened ? +I got the flu . I have a fever and a headache . Can I cancel my appointment ? +Sure , you can , but you ’ ll be charged for $ 10 . +Oh , there ’ s a charge ? Why ? +This is for the delayed cancellation . Because this time is reserved for you . If you are unable to keep an appointment , you should notify us 48 hours in advance . Otherwise , the charge will be made . +I see . That ’ s ok . I ’ ll pay . +Thanks for your understanding . Do you want to make another appointment ? +No . Not right now . When I feel better I ’ ll call you again . +Ok . Take care . +Thank you . +What's wrong with the photocopier ? +The toner has run out and there's none in the stationery cupboard . +I need to make six copies of this report for the Board Meeting tomorrow .

He's really hogging the mic ! +If I hear Love Me Tender one more time , I think I'll go crazy ! +He sounds like a sick cow ! +Can we adjust the pitch a little ?

Where are you going ... ? +Coing out for a walk . +Excuse me , can you tell me where central Park Street is ? +Turn right at the third light and then go straight for two blocks . +Is it far ? +No . It's only a ten-minute walk . +I see . Thanks a lot . +You're welcome . +When you were in school , what were your favorite subjects ? +I enjoyed everything , as long as I was learning . +Still , you must have had some subjects you enjoyed more than others . +Yes , I did like Spanish and Music . But I don't remember much Spanish . +That's too bad . We could really use someone who is bilingual . +If you hire me , I'll start studying Spanish again . +Don't tell me that's your lunch ? +No , this is just my appetizer ... this is my lunch ! +A candy bar for an appetizer and a piece of pie for lunch ! That's all junk ! +This is good food , it has milk , fruit , grains , nuts ... +Sugar , sugar , preservatives , fats , more sugar , more fat , more preservatives ! +At least I enjoy my lunch !

Do you have the number of the text port ? +Yes , Do you mind if I have a look at your computer ? +Of course not , I appreciate that . +Well , it has nothing to do with virus .

You're a pretty good cook . +I'm OK . +I want to make an omelet , so actually this is really silly , I've never made one before . How do you make an omelet ? +Well , I can teach you how I make them , which is the same way my father and grandmother make them , which is a little special . +OK . Yeah ! Yeah ! +First you take some eggs and crack them in a bowl , and whisk them up , quite , so they're quite high and fluffy , and in a hot pan , and you need a pan that's that's kind of small , that the sides go up at an angle . You put some oil and heat it up , so it's quite hot , and then you take your whipped up eggs , or whisked up eggs , and pour them into the pan , and as it's cooking , if you take a spatula , and push the bottom layer of the egg , to the side , to the sides , and then to the middle , so the uncooked egg gets to the bottom of the pan . +Oh , OK . Wow ! +OK . And keep doing that until most of the egg is cooked so you should have a nice thick omelet and then flip it over , you'll only have to cook that side lightly . Put your fillings on the top and fold it over and let it sit just long enough to melt the cheese . +Wow . That sounds really good . +Excuse me , can you tell me how I can get to the snowboarding area ? +Take bus 12 and get off at the terminal station . +Thanks a lot . +You are welcome . +Excuse me , but could you tell me the way to the railway station ? +The railway station ?

Double or single breasted ? +I think I would like the pants pleated . I am not sure about the jacket though as I'm a little overweight . +I see , sir .

Just let me take your measurements , Let's see , neck 41cm , chest 110cm , wait 120cm and inside leg 70cm . You do have short legs , sir . +Yes , that is why I usually choose dark colours for my business suits . +Can you come back in three days for a fitting ? +Certainly . +Good that way .

Let me help you with your luggage . +Thank you very much . +Did you have a good trip ? +On the whole , not too bad . +Anyhow , it's a long way to China , isn't it ? And I think you must be very tired . +Yes , I am , rather . But I'll be all right by tomorrow and ready for business . +I wish you a pleasant stay here . +Thank you . +Now , Mr . Smith , if all is ready , we'd better start for the hotel . +I'd like to . Let's go . +This way , please . Our car is waiting over there . +Yes . Of my mother standing in the kitchen and me doing my homework before school ... +How sweet ... if you make me some more toast , I'll let you use my new retro toaster ... +OK ! I'll show you how my mom did it . +Isn't the shape cool ? +Yeah , and it's bigger than ours was . +Hey ! What's that smell ? Are you burning the toast ? +Why don't you watch where you're going ? +Me ? You're the one who pulled out in front of me ! +There was plenty of room for me to pull out.You didn't have to stay in the lane you were in . +Hey , listen . I had every right to stay in the lane I was in.You were supposed to wait until I passed to pull out.And anyhow , you didn't give me any time to change lanes.All of a sudden--BANG--there you are right in front of me . +I think my arm is broken . +Sorry about your arm , but it serves you right . You need to learn how to drive . You're lucky you didn't get killed . And I'm lucky to be alive too . +Listen , let's just wait until the police get here.Then we can decide whose fault this accident was . +Fine with me . I know the laws of the road . I'm not worried . +I have a cell phone in my car . Now it's probably on the floor on the passenger side.Why don't you get it for me , and then I can call the police ? +Alright . +It doesn't work . It looks like it's broken . I need to get to a hospital . You should drive me there . +Oh , yeah ? It's better if we make a police report first . Then you can go to the hospital . +Damn it ! I'm injured here . We could wait all day for the police . +Well , you'll just have to wait . I'm not going to move my car until the police arrive . I'll go into one of those houses over there and use their phone . Don't worry . You'll get to the hospital in time . +It really hurts . +Yes , maybe it does.But if you're going to drive like you did just now , you will have to get used to a little physical pain . You know what I mean ? +To hell with you . The accident was your fault . +I'm afraid it wasn't . And when the police get here , you will also see that it wasn't . But enough of this bickering . I'm going to go find a phone.Don ' t move that arm while I'm gone . Alright ? +To hell with you . +Do you carrying fresh fish ? +Yes we do . Check the meat department . There is a fish counter there too . +I already looked , but did not see anything . +Let me show you . +Thanks . +See , it's right over there . +Oh , gosh . I didn't see it . +That's all right . +Excuse me , sir . Didn't you see the red light ? +Oh , I thought I could make a right turn on red here . +No , sir . The sign says no turn on red . +Oh , I guess I didn't see it . +I'm sorry , sir , but may I see your driver's licence and insurance policy , please ? I have to give you a ticket . +Here they are . +Sign here , please . You can appeal to the court within 14 days . This slip has all the information you need . Please drive safely , sir . +Thank you , Ma'am . +Are you going out again ? +Yes , I'm going to the cinema , dad . +You mustn't go to bed very late . Can you be home before nine . +Oh , I won't be back so early . The film will be over at nine . Can I have the key to the bicycle ? +No . I won't let you ride a bicycle late at night . +Oh , dad , I'm not a child . I'm 17 already . I'll come back as soon as the film is over . +OK . Here's the key . Take care . +I will . Thank you , dad . +When would you like me to send those plans over to your office , Mr . Montgomery ? +It would be good if you could get them to me by Thursday afternoon , Ms.Barkley . +That shouldn't be a problem . What is the exact address , again ? +7880 Crofton Avenue , Building 40A , Room 304 . +Next , please . Where to , sir ? +A one-way ticket to Chicago , please . +How many did you say , sir ? +One adult , please . +That will be six dollars . Out of ten-seven , eight , nine , ten . Thank you . +We will carry out the order when the purchase order gets here . +Good . And because this is our initial order , and your products is so new , we would like to make a deal with you . +Well , actually in most cases we don't talk about special deals , but since this one is so new I will listen to what you have to say . +We want to make this a trial order . If we can sell all the products in two months , we will pay for them ; if not , we will send them back to you . +I can't agree to that . My company will have to pay for both sending them and bringing them back . +We promise that if the products are sold out in two months , we will place a repeat order right away , at the same quality . +OK , I agree . But the repeat order can't have the same terms . +I like the Honda Accord you showed me before . I think it's more practical for my needs . +Alright , sir . You are making a good choice . Honda has made a lot of design improvements in the new Accord . +What does it come with standard ? +On all our new cars , the standards include +Cruise control ? I don't like that . +Why not , sir ? +I think it's dangerous . What if I can't turn it off ? +Well , sir , I know some of our customers are concerned about cruise control . But Honda has never had a single cruise control malfunction that led to an accident . +I wish it didn't have cruise control . My wife doesn't like it either . +You know , sir , you don't have to use it . You can turn it on or off . If you don't want to use it , you just never turn it on . +I suppose . And What about the sunroof ? Is that standard ? +No , the sunroof is optional , sir . +I see . +Telco Mobile , how can I help you ? +Yes , I ’ d like to activate my voice mail service please . +Certainly sir , we currently have a special promotion where we include voice mail services , call waiting and also three way calling . +Sure that sounds great ! Are there any other fees ? +Not at all . No hidden fees or surcharges , it is a flat monthly rate . +Perfect . I also wanted to know if there is any call forwarding service ? I am usually out of town and would like my calls to be forwarded to a local number . +Yes of course . We can activate all these services in about an hour . +Can I help you ? +My wife and I want to go to Beijing for a tour . Can you arrange it ? +Yes , we can arrange that . +I'd like to know what kind of tour your travel agency has . +Our travel agency provides all kinds of tours , ranging from individual tour to group package tour . +Excellent . +When do you expect to come ? +September 28th . +What specific places do you wish to visit ? +We would like to visit the Great Wall , the Ming Tombs and the Imperial Palace . +OK . +All I do all day is work and watch TV . I really should start thinking about my health . +I never thought about that , but you're right . What do you think we should do ? +For starters , we should start doing more outdoor activities . That way we'll get some exercise . +I was thinking about taking tennis lessons . I always have an hour to spare in the afternoon . What do you think about that ? +That's not a bad idea . How much is it ? +I heard it is only about one hundred twenty dollars a month for 8 lessons . +Playing tennis twice a week will be a good start . Count me in . +Passport , please ! +Here you are . +Are you Chinese ? +Yes , I am . +Where in China are you from ? +Fujisan Province . +There are a lot of people from China visiting right now . +It's not surprising . Our school year just ended , and a lot of Chinese are on vacation . +How long do you plan to stay ? +About half a month . +All right . Here's your passport . Welcome to Australia . +Thank you . +Hello , jewelry department . How may I help you ? +It's me , Ali . There's this strange guy who keeps coming around . He's been here three times this week . +He's probably a pervert . Just ignore him . +He makes me nervous . He looks at me funny . And he never buys anything ! +Maybe he wants to get something for his girlfriend , but he's embarrassed . +Are you ready to order ? May I suggest a veal . +No , I'll have the fish please . +The chicken is also nice . +No , I want the fish . +Our special tonight is lobster . +Thank you , but I prefer the fish +Perhaps you'd enjoy the lamb +No , I like the fish . +What ever you say ? +Hi , Boss ! I'd like to tell you what we've discussed during the day . +Okay . Is all going well ? +I think it's going very well , actually . We had a long meeting with them . After several lengthy discussions they decided to accept our offer . +Really ? That's great . You really did a good job . Anything else to tell me ? +We're meeting with their finance director today and then with the other directors tomorrow , just to sort out some final details . +OK . If he wants to make any changes , minor alternations can be accepted . Let me know what happens . +OK . I never forget it . +How do you think a manager should react to an employee ’ s unsatisfactory work ? +If I were a manager , I would have a private talk with this employ to figure out the reasons . It is very important to have this one-to-one discussion in an unthreatening situation without any distraction . +Exactly , I overheard a manager scold his employee in the elevator this morning , they were from the company on the 12th floor , I guess . They were only three of us in the elevator , I felt very embarrassed to be in the middle of them . +Well , I guess the employee would feel more embarrassed and probably angry . Anyway , it is not wise at all to give a harsh time to your employee in front of others , especially strangers . +Sure , no matter what happened , they should wait to discuss in their office and find the solution in a positive way . +What's the life expectancy in your country ? +I'm not sure , but probably about 75 years . How about in your country ? +About 70 , I think . This newspaper article talks about the problems of an aging population . It's a problem that will soon affect most of the world . +I heard that the government might need to increase the retirement age , because otherwise there will not be enough workers to support the young and the elderly . +Perhaps we need to have more babies ! Tina gave birth to a baby boy yesterday . +Did she ? That's great . However , if we have too many children , that will have a bad effect on the environment . +How's your son these days ? +Oh , he's fine . Kids seem to grow up very quickly nowadays . +He'll be a teenager before you know it ! Teenagers are often rebellious ! When do you think it is a good age to have a child ? +I had mine when I was 24 . That's a little young . I'd suggest you wait until you are in your late twenties , or even in your early thirties if you have a good career . +Yes , I think you're right . I'm thinking about having a child , but not just yet . +Is there a big generation gap between parents and their children in your country ? +Yes , there is . Teenagers do not want to live traditional lives . They want to go out , have fun , and explore the world . They want to develop their own view of life.Parents usually try to discour +Parents usually give their children more freedom in my country . Sometimes they give them too much freedom . +It's almost impossible to get the right balance . If you are too strict , kids might ignore you . If you are too lenient , they might go wild . +Hello . Front desk . How can I help you ? +Good evening . Is the kitchen open now ? +I ’ m sorry . The kitchen is closed after midnight . +It ’ s ok , good night . +Good night . +My doctor said that I need a chest X-ray . +Just take your clothes off from the waist up and put this gown on , with the opening in the back . +What should I do after that ? +You need to come over here and face this plate . +Am I standing the right way ? +I will need your arms raised to shoulder height . +Am I doing this the right way ? +Everything you are doing is perfect . +Are you going to leave ? +I am just getting behind this screen . You need to take a deep breath , hold it , and then breathe normally . +Is that all there is to it ? +You can get dressed as soon as the film is processed . We will be all done here . +I really like the way this house looks . +Yes , it has great curb appeal . +The landscaping is wonderful ! +Yes , it is nice , but wait until you see the interior . +Oh , I see what you mean ! +The carpeting and paint are all new , as well as the window treatments . +I love the sage green carpeting with the sunset-colored walls . +Come and see the kitchen . +Oh , look at that beautiful countertop material and the double sink ! +Let ’ s go check out the bedroom and bathroom . +I really like the Jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom . +I am happy that you like the house . We should write down what we like so that we can remember it . +You don't look well at all . Are you sick ? +Yes , I don't feel well today . +How long have you been feeling like this ? +Since the day before yesterday . +How did you feel at the very beginning ? +It began with a shiver then I perspired a great deal . +I see . You've caught a bad cold . I'll give you a prescription . +Thank you . Doctor . +Hey , daughter , let me ask you something . +Yes , dad ? +Do you have life insurance ? +Well , no . It just seemed like another bill we ’ d have to pay . +You have children now . What if something , God forbid , happens to you ? +That ’ s true . Well , how much do you think I should get ? +A $ 100,000 policy shouldn ’ t be too expensive . Here , call my agent . He ’ ll give you a good deal . +The blake's got divorced . +Really ? Why ? +Mr.black has been getting a little around aside . +I'm surprised . He does't look like a guy who'd ever cheat on his wife , does he ? +No , he doesn't . But his wife found out he has been too charming for a long time.Incredibly , he has many different girlfriends . Starting almost right after they married 20 years ago . +Well , I'm really surprised . You are not doing anything behind my back , are you ? +No , the only thing I've ever done behind your back is zip you up , besides I told all my other girlfriends , and my wife who's getting suspicious . and we had a cold for a while , tell the +Haha ... You are not very funny . I guess that means - - except me to tell my lover we have stoped seeing each other too . +You are not funny either . I can't believe I married a woman like you . +Fred , is it a good time to talk with you ? +Sure , what's the matter ? +As you know , I have accepted three new programs in our company this year , but I am not sure I can do my work well . And right now my dilemma is that I can not find a person whom I can trust for these three programs . +What do you think we can do about this ? +We are not willing to miss the chance ; however , our staff is not big enough now . So , to be honest , I want you to help me to finish all these programs . +Well , sir , I am busy in market development . So I am worried whether I can do this . +I am aware you have been working so hard . Before hiring more employees , you are still needed to do this . +OK ! I will try this . +What's wrong ? +There's no power . +Have you checked the fuse box ? +Yes , the fuse had blown and I've changed it but now the motor keeps cutting out . +There might be a loose connection somewhere that's making the safety switch trip . Check the settings on the trip-switch . If you can't fix it yourself , call in an electrician . +Daniel , here is some money for the tickets . +OK , it's my pleasure . How many tickets ? +Oh , like a gentleman . Two tickets for two people . +But I am only half a person as you and they charge both of us the same price tickets . +They may unless we get a half-price ticket for you . +Dad , it makes no sense . +You may ask if you can take a half-price ticket . +Yeah , I make certain . A half-price ticket cuts us one point five Yuan . +Hello . Do you know how I can find a room to rent ? +There is so much information and I advise to read newspaper . +Will that work ? +Yes , of course . If you like the room , call the landlord and confirm the information of the room . +Good idea . Thank you . +Hello , is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes , I want to a room for tomorrow . +Single or double ? +A single one with a private bath . +Would you like to have your room on the top floor ? +It doesn't matter . +I've been at this for two weeks now and nothing ’ s turned up . +You're right . I think it ’ s time to seek professional help . +What do you mean ? +I know you don ’ t want to pay for a job , but I think it ’ s time we consulted a headhunter . +You ’ re right , I don ’ t want to pay , but I don ’ t want to live without pay , either . +Ha , ha , ha ! I agree . That ’ s not much fun . +Do you have anyone in mind ? +Actually I do . +Who ? +Cooke & Co . does a lot of placements in your field . +Ya , they do . Anyone else come to mind ? +Not at the moment , but I ’ ll let you know . +Please pull your vehicle over to the side of the road . Please roll down your window . +What's the matter , sir ? +Have you been drinking ? +No , I haven't sir . +Really ? But I can smell alcohol on your breath . Blow into this breathalyzer , please . +But , sir , I didn't drink at all . +If you refuse to blow , you'll receive a much severer punishment . +OK . I'll blow . +Your BAC exceeds the legal limit . +But I ... +I'll have to write you a ticket and suspend your driver's license for 3 months . +Do you know who that tall man is ? +He's a member of the National Basketball Association . +Do you know where he comes from ? +Some people say he's from New York . +May I help you , sir ? +Yes , I'd like to get some gas . +Regular or unleaded ? +Unleaded . My car is new . +How many gallons do you want ? +Fill it up . I will have a tour tomorrow . +All right . Shall I check the oil ? +Yes , please . +You're a quart low . +Give me a quart of light oil . +Yes , sir . +The portions here are man sized . We usually end up taking half of the meal home with us . +Everything looks so good . Is there anything in particular that you recommend ? +Hey , sis . You know me , if I don't like everything on the menu , I don't go back to the restaurant ! +So you're saying I can't go wrong with anything I order ? In that case ... +Wait , you love salmon , don't you ? They have the best salmon pasta . +That sounds really good ! Does it come with a soup ? +Soup and bread and salad bar ! I'm telling you , these people know how to keep you coming back ! +I see what you mean ! +Look , there is traffic accident over there . +What happened ? +The old man is knocked down by the bicycle . +Did you promise me to get the bread ? +Well , I remember walking pass the baker shop . +But you forgot to get the bread . +I'm afraid so . I don't remember you telling me about it . +Well , I certainly did . +What would you let me do now ? +You are free . You can go now . +Really ? You are so kind . +I'll do with the cake . +No . That's not enough . I've got some cereal . +Get up , you lazybones ! +Just a minute . +what ’ s the cheapest way to go there ? +By subway . +Oh , is that right ? Is there a subway station near here ? +Yes . There ’ s one on the other side of the building . +Good . Can I walk through this building ? +I ’ m afraid you can ’ t . you ’ Ve to go out there and walk around . +I see . Thank you . +Hello . Green Trading Company . What can I do for you ? +I'm Mr.Stephen ' s secretary . He has an appointment with Mr.Green today . +Yes . It'll be at three o'clock this afternoon . +I'm afraid we have to reschedule it . +Didn't we make that appointment a long time ago ? +I'm very sorry . But Mr.stephen must leave for Hong Kong right away . +How about Friday afternoon ? +That'll be fine . +One thing I love our boss for is that he always knows when to give you a pay raise without being asked for . +Really ? How can he be so sure about the timing ? +He just knows either by your excellent performance at work or by the annual review . +Well . This must save lots of employees from worrying about how to write a salary increase letter . You know how tough it is . Do all the employees receive the same pay increase annually ? +Actually not ! Our company pays for performance . +I like this system . It will encourage the best employees and motivate those who want to make a change at work . +You look hot and tired . Jack , have you been exercising ? +Yes . We just had a basketball match with Class Two . +Who won ? +They did . +What was the score ? +Seventy to sixty-seven . +My God ! Why did you bring me here ? I hate the taste of coffee . +Really ? I have a weakness for coffee . +Tom , you promised to cut the lung . You won't forget , will you ? +No , I assure you . +And you'll repair the television , won't you ? +Ok . +Do you promise ? +Of course . +And Tom , you will help Johnny with his homework , won't you ? +I'll see . I will if I can but I won't promise . +But you'll promise not to be late for dinner tonight , won't you ? +Yes . But only if you ask me nicely . +Tom , darling . You'll try not to be late for dinner tonight , won't you ? Please ! +Ok . I'll keep my promise . +May I help you ? +Yes . I'm looking for a green dress . +What size do you wear ? These dresses are on sale . +I wear size 32 . This one looks nice . Where may I try it on ? +Come this way . Here's the dressing room . +How does it look ? +It looks nice . And it's not expensive . +How much is it ? +It's only $ 20 . +I'll take it . +Would you like to copy the EX files and pass me the copy ? There are some figures I want to check . +Here is the copy . Do you need anything else ? +Yes , I also need all the letters we received from them . +Do you mean all the sales letters from them ? +Yes , that ’ s right . +I ’ ll get them for you at once . And could I file the report for you ? +Yes , but I need the report copied on transparency paper . +No problem . +This is Milton in room 402 . I would like to check out . Can anyone help me with my baggage ? +Yes . The porter will go and help you . +Thanks a lot . By the way , please call a taxi for me . +OK , sir . +What is your favorite kind of music ? +I listen to various types of music . +What genres ? +I enjoy listening to both Rock and R & B . +What interests you in that type of music ? +I enjoy the different types of instruments that they use . +That is a perfect reason to like a certain kind of music . +That's exactly what I think too . +You want to go get a facial with me today ? +Dude , what are you talking about ? Only girls do that . +Not at all , guys also get facials , manicures and pedicures . There is nothing wrong with looking after your skin and looking good . +True . So what do they do to you at your beauty spa ? +Well , first they exfoliate my face , getting rid of all the dead skin . Then I get a face mask with nutrients that keep my skin healthy and young . Afterwards , they apply some moisturizer and you leave feeling like a million bucks . +That doesn't really sound like something I would be interested in . In any case , I just wash my face every night and use sunscreen during the day . +Well you should come with me one day , I'm sure you'll love it . +Uh ... no . +How much is this ? +You mean the large one or the small one ? +The large one . +They're on special this week . They've been reduced to five dollars . +Is this the only kind you have ? +No . We have some that are different in style but not in color . They're over there . Do you see the sign ? +Oh , yes . I think I'll look at those over there before I decide . +Very well . Just take your time . +Can you help me find a nice gift for my young niece ? +Barbie dolls are quite popular , you know . +You're right . Girls love Barbie . Show me a Barbie doll . +Take a look at the newest Barbie — Digital Barbie . +She's beautiful . What's the price for Digital Barbie ? +Our regular price for Digital Barbie is $ 29.95 plus tax . +Only $ 29.95 ? I'll buy it , of course . +Another one sold . Do you see anything else you would like ? +Thank you , but no . This will do it for now . +Tax brings your total to $ 32.42 . How would you like to pay ? +Cash , please . +Here's your change . Thank you . +Hello , I have a reservation for a double . +What's your last name ? +It's Smith . Here is my driver's license . +Yes , I do show your reservation . How could you like to pay for the room ? +I'd like to put it on my VISA . +Fine . Here is your room key , here is also a map of our hotel . The swimming pool , gym and sauna are all located on first floor . +Great , is our room ready yet ? +Yes . If you want to order room service , just press 0 on your phone , and that will connect you with the front desk . +Mom , I'm ready for school . +Don't forger to come straight home after school . +I know , mom . +Have you got everything ? +Oh , my jump rope . Mom , can you get it for me ? +Well , that was an interesting documentary ! +For sure ! I didn ’ t really understand some of the technical jargon they used in the film when they talked about social security in the US . +Like what ? +Well , they mentioned how people put away money in something called a 401K ? +Yeah , I know it sounds weird , but a 401k is a type of retirement plan that allows employees to save and invest for their own retirement . Through a you can authorize your employer to deduct a certain amount of money from your paycheck and invest it in the plan . Everyone tries to contribute as much as possible so that when you retire , you can rest peacefully on your nest egg . +That ’ s interesting and logical I guess . In my country , we also have to contribute to a government-run retirement fund , but most people don ’ t really trust it so they just invest in properties or things like that . +That seems a bit unstable don ’ t you think ? +Yeah , but corrupt governments in the past have created distrust among banks and financial institutions , so now people prefer to have money hidden in a jar or a piggy bank . +I ’ Ve been thinking of doing that lately ! I don ’ t want some banker to run off with my money ! +Can you book me a double room for February 22 ? +Well , we won't be able to guarantee you a room for February 22 , but we can book you on February 23.Is that OK ? +I guess so . +Hello . I would like to buy some business cards . +Excellent . How many would you like ? +Two thousand would be fine . +You need to fill out this form , please . +All I want is the same thing on this card . +That will be no problem , sir . +... Okay , I'm finished . Here's your form and my old card . +Very good , sir . Your order will be ready in one week . +Do you think you could finish it in three days ? +No problem , sir . But it will cost you extra . +how do you feel about wearing name logos or slogans on your clothing ? +I've never really thought about it before . I guess it doesn't bother me . +do you think advertising has an influence on the choices you make when you're shopping ? +I guess so . I usually buy name-brand clothing , shoes , and electronic goods . How about you ? +I actually try to avoid name-brand items . I can't stand it when big companies advertise their products all over the place ! +I would like to get some meat today . +What kind do you need ? +I need about a pound of ground beef . +The ground beef is $ 2.48 a pound . +That sounds good . +What else would you like ? +I also need three pounds of chicken breasts . +The chicken breasts are $ 4.05 a pound . +How much will the three pounds of chicken cost altogether ? +Altogether , it's going to be $ 12.15 . +That will be all for me . +All right , let me get your meat for you . +What salary are you expecting ? +What range of salary do you have for this position ? +It can be anywhere between 100,000 to 200,000 a year depending on experience and qualifications . +It sounds amazing to me . +I need to order new business cards . +Do you have any idea how many you'd like ? +I think 2,000 would be enough . +Would you fill out this form , please ? +I don't want to make any changes to my old card . +If you detect any difference , I'll take you out to dinner . +... Okay , that's it . Here's the form , and here's my old card to use as a model . +Thank you . Your order will be ready seven days from now . +I need it sooner . Let me have it in three days , okay ? +We can certainly give you faster turn around , but it will cost you extra . +To start with , may I know why you are interested in working for our company ? +First , as far as I know , your company has had an impressive growth record.Second , I want to get into the foreign trade business . +Now you are with Quandong Company . What is your chief responsibility there ? +I'm in charge of marketing activities in South-East Asia , for example , organizing trade conferences and arranging exhibitions . +Do you have any questions about the job ? +Yes . Are the chances for employees to be transferred to overseas branches of the company ? +Certainly . This is an international company , and ther're good chances for you to work overseas . +That would be good . +Good evening , sir . Are you Mr . Jim Stewart from the States ? +Ah , yes , that's right . +Glad to meet you . Mr Stewart . I'm the guide from Pacific Tour Agency . My name is Zhang Hua . +Hello , I was just looking for the guide 。 +I'm always at your service , sir . By the way , did you have a pleasant trip ? +Not bad . But I've made too many flights these days . I could hardly remember how many take offs and landings I've been through these three days . I think we all feel a bit tired . +Well , shall we go to the hotel right now ? I've already made a reservation for you . +Wonderful . I'm eager to take a sauna as soon as possible . +So we must get you to the hotel as soon as possible . I hope to see you refreshed and revitalized tomorrow morning , as we are going to visit the Great Wall . +I'm sure we will . Actually , we are looking forward to seeing the great wonder . +Hi there , Mr Brown . Are you depositing or withdrawing today ? +Sorry to say it , but neither of those . I'm here to close our account with you . The market around here has been dropping for a while now , and it's just not sensible for us to stay . +I understand . So , what would you like to do with the balance ? +I guess I should just withdraw everything . +215,000 RIB is the exact balance . If you could just sign your name here . +Here you go . That's everything , then . Thanks very much for your service over the years . +pardon me . Could you please pass me the tissue ? +sure , here you are . +thanks , I didn't expect the dish to be so spicy . Are you ok ? +yeah , I think the food is alright , it's not too spicy though it's a little salty for me . But you are Chinese , you should have known better . +well , not every Chinese can handle spicy food in the way people from Sichuan and Cuizhou provinces can . Back where I come from , people don't eat a lot of papers and chilies . +Oh , I see how this food can be really hard for you . I can sympathize with that . I stayed in Sichuan for a year . The food was difficult at the beginning . Every dish was so spicy . After a while , I got u +yeah , you can increase you tolerance for spicy food , but so far , I haven't had the need or the opportunity . Every time I try spicy food , it is a total disaster for my nose and eyes . +I completely understand . I didn't intend on liking spicy food at first either , but when you have no other choicest , you've got to adapt . +yeah , I guess that's a typical example of when in Rome , do as the Romans do . +exactly . +OK , Lucy.It ' s your turn.Are you ready ? +I really would rather just listen.Isn ' t there anyone else who wants to sing ? +Come on ! In the two hours we've been here , you haven't sung even one song ! +I know , but ... Hey , Stanley's here ! I've been wanting to hear him sing all night . +Well , you asked for it . Why don't you put on an Elvis ' song for him . +I'll put the song at the front of the list . +Ping-pong must be the top-ranking popular sport in China . It seems to me in every school , factory , army unit , or residential area , men and women , young and old , are swinging paddles . +You got it ! In a sense , it has become a byword for Chinese sport . +What do you think might be the source of its popularity ? +I think its critical advantage lies in its low cost . All you need is a racket , a table and a light celluloid ball . Tables are usually available in public recreation areas , like finest rooms , and outdoor playgrounds ... +And sometimes a substitute table can be made out of a few desks . +Put it there ! In senior high schools , we used to play on desks in the classroom , when no vacant tables were available . Likewise , the racket may take a variety of forms , too.Anything that resembles a racket , from a plank to cardboard or even a hardcover book , may be used as a racket . +Haha , these are very good inventions . All these speak the public's fondness for the sport +Yeah , the sport is affordable and accessible to every Tom , Dick and Jane in this developing country . No wonder even the state leaders are known to be keen on it . +I know President Hu Into likes playing ping-pong . +Actually , he excels in it . Chairman Mao , too , encouraged the whole nation to play ping-pong as a part of the nationwide body building campaign . +I see . There was also the famous ping pong diplomacy , wasn't there ? +Julia , the apartment I looked at today is pretty decent-around 120 square meters . +Great . Where is it ? +A new two-bedroom apartment , around 100 to 120 square meters , in the Sanlitun area . +What about the surrounding area ? +Very quiet and safe . And it's got a lot of trees and plants . +That's good . Is the location easily accessible ? +Yeah , it's near a bus stop . +Hmm ... well , maybe we can buy this one then . +The total cost is 850 dollars . How would you like to pay ? +By credit card . +We take Visa and Master Card . +Do you take American Express ? +No , we don't . +Ok , I'll use my Visa . Here you are . +Thank you ... please sign on the line . +There are so many record players here . That is hard to choose . +Look at this one . It has a radio and cassette player and built in speakers . +I'd rather get one with separated speakers . They give a clear sound . +Yes , but we shouldn't get any thing too big . Remember it has to fit in with our living room furniture . +That's right . Now this one looks alright ? It's a detached or do you prefer this one ? It's Sony . +Let's have the salesmen for a demonstration . +The system keeps crashing when I try to access the personnel database . +I think the file is too big . You'll need to expand your memory . First , close down all the files you have open , and then ... +It's Chinese New Year ! That means it's time to eat hot pot ! +Let's eat the kind that has both spicy and mild broth in one pot . +You mean half-and-half ? +Yep . That way I can satisfy my craving for spicy food and you can eat hot pot without burning into flames . +Good idea . +Let's go ! +Excuse me , can I use your computer to type my paper ? +No problem . +I am afraid I can't finish typing it this afternoon . When will you use it tonight ? +Oh , Never mind , I finished my paper . So you can use it tonight . +Thanks a lot ! +Hello , miss . Where is the button that controls my seat ? +It's on the arm rest . +Oh , I see . By the way , what shall I do if changes in altitude create pressure on the ears ? +You can suck a candy or pinch your nose gently while breathing out . That shall help . +Excuse me , Sir , you are not supposed to smoke here . +I beg your pardon . +Your seat is in the non-smoking section , so please refrain from smoking . +Oh , I see , since I'm a heavy smoker . May I change my seat ? +Then I'll try to find a seat in the smoking section . One moment . please.Thank you for waiting . I found a seat in the smoking section for you . +Oh , did you ? Thanks a lot . +Do you have all types of seafood here ? +Yes , Sir , the specialty of our restaurant is the seafood . +What do you recommend ? +Perhaps you would like some sole . Many guests like it very much . +OK , we will try it . +Any drinks ? +Two bottles of white wine , please . +You should have been at home and enjoyed a big meal . +Yes . I should have gone to buy the ticket in advance . But now ... +But now you can stay with friends and enjoy a holiday too . +Right . Let's go and find some fun . +Excuse me . Does this bus go to the National Library of China ? +Yes , there are three stops left . +How long is the ride ? +Well , you will get there in about a quarter of an hour if the traffic isn ’ t too heavy . +Thank you . Would you please let me know when we get to the stop ? I'm a stranger here . +Sure , madam . I ’ ll remind you . +Sir , I want to ask for a leave for five days . Here is the request form . +Let me see your form . You mentioned that you want five days to go back home for New Year , right ? +Yes , I need to go home to have a family reunion . +Do you still remember we already have a New Year celebration on January 1st ? +Yes , sir . I remember it . But our Chinese usually celebrate the New Year on lunar calendar . +Well , I understand that . Your request is approved . Remember to give my best regards to your parents . +What kind of personality do you think you have ? +I'm quite active and energetic . I approach things enthusiastically and I don't like to leave things half-done . +Do you think you are introverted or extroverted ? +I'm quite outgoing i think . I enjoy mixing and doing things with others . +What do you think is the most important thing for you to be happy ? +I maintain that the most important thing is having good friends . A person can't live all by himself I think . A friend in need is a friend in deed.The more really close friends I have , the better . +What kind of people do you like to work with ? +People who are honest , dedicated to their work and having integrity . +Well , Mr . Brown , we've settled everything in connection with this transaction except the question of payment in yen . Now can you explain to me how to make payment in yen ? +Many of our business friends in England , France , Switzerland , Italy and Germany are paying for our exports in Japan currency . It is quite easy to do so . +I know some of them are doing that . But this is new to me . I've never made payment in yen before . It is convenient to make payment in pound sterling , but I may have some difficulty in making payment in yen . +Many banks in Europe now carry accounts in yen . They are in a position to open letters of credit and effect payment in yen . Consult your banks and you'll see that they are ready to offer you this service . +Do you mean to say that I can open a letter of credit in yen with a bank in London or Bonn ? +Sure you can . Several of the banks in London , such as the National Westminster Bank and Barclays Bank are in a position to open letters of credit in yen . They'll do so against our sales confirmation or contract . +I see . +Next please . Hello . How can I help you ? +I'd like to buy a ticket for New York . +Would you like one way or round trip ? +Round trip . +When will you be leaving ? +When does the next plane leave ? +In about 2 hours . +I'd like a ticket for that flight please . +First class or coach ? +Coach . +OK , let me check availability . I'm sorry . Tickets for that flight are sold out . +How about the one after that ? +Let me see . Yes , that one still has seats available . Would you like me to reserve a seat for you ? +Yes , please . +That'll be 120 dollars . +OK . +Thank you , here's your change . +Room service , what can I do for you ? +I have some shirts that need laundering , and I ’ d like my suit pressed . +There is a laundry form as well as a bag in your room . Pls fill it out and the maid will come pick it up . +How long will it take to get my clothes back ? +To press the suit only takes 3 hours . The laundry will be returned to you tomorrow around noon time . Is that all right ? +That ’ s all right . Pls send someone to pick it up . +Right away , sir . +Tina Li , Financial Planner , how may I be of service ? +Hello , Tina . An acquaintance of mine has just told me that your bank has started a new Personal Wealth Management Service . Is that right ? +It certainly is . You can do almost anything with it , anytime , anywhere . +How would I go about applying for this service ? +All you need to do is sign up at any one of our branches and you can use the service right away . +That's so simple . I'll come by my local branch later this afternoon and get it set up . Thank you very much , Tina . +It's a pleasure . Thanks for calling Lincoln Bank . +Reservation , please . +Sure , sir . How many of you are there ? +5 , and please put us as close as possible to the stage . +No problem , sir .

You may work whatever hours you want , provided you get your job done properly . +I like flexible hours . +Would you mind changing the position or working place you've applied for ? +No , I don't . +How was your appraisal with the boss ? +Oh it was really good . Do you know , he ’ s the nicest boss I ’ Ve had here . +Yes , I think he ’ s the most relaxed person in management . +What ’ s more , he said I was the hardest working person in the office ! +That ’ s good . Maybe you ’ ll get promoted . +I hope so . Then I ’ ll be the happiest person in our office too ! +Welcome . How can I help you ? +Hello , I would like a room please . +All right . We have quite a selection for you to choose from . There are double rooms with twin beds , suites , if you'd like , we have presidential suite on the top floor . +A double room sounds great . +All right sir . How many nights will you be staying ? +A few nights , I'm not quite sure of my schedule yet . +OK . I'll just need to see a credit card and passport . +Here you are . +What is the rate for a double room for one night ? +Since it is low season , we are running a special rate right now of 150 yuan per night . +What about the features in the room ? +Our rooms include television set , air-conditioning and a bathroom . +Does the TV have cable ? +Yes , sir . +Oh , what a relief ! Thank you very much for your help , Miss . +You're welcome . +Excuse me , Miss.My friend is sick . +Is he ? Yes , he looks pale . Is there anything I can do for him ? +Yes.Please give him some water . +Certainly . +And do you have any medicine for airsickness ? +Well , yes . I'll give him the medicine , too . +I appreciate your help . +Hello , this is Francis . +Hi , this is Monica . I was wondering when we can work on this financial report . +Today , I am busy all day long . +Shall I see you on Friday morning ? +That ’ s not good for me at all . It'll have to be another time . +We must find some time to read report . +I know . I am available from 1 PM to 4 PM on Friday afternoon . +That ’ s all right . Then see you on Friday afternoon . +See you . +Where do you want to go ? +I want to go to Lid Hotel . +I'm sorry , but you got on the wrong bus . +Which bus should I take then ? +You should change to the No . 701 bus at the next stop . +Thank you so much ! +Not at all . +Excuse me , can I use your computer to type my paper ? +No problem . +I am afraid I can't finish typing it this afternoon.When will you use it tonight ? +Oh , Never mind , I finished my paper.So you can use it tonight . +Thanks a lot ! +I don ’ t know what activity my son should take part in ? +Many children are learning drawing , dancing , swimming and so on in their spare time . You can follow suit . +But each children has his own interest . +Well , you should talk with your son and let him make his own decision . +OK . Everything is in the bag . +Excellent ! Let ’ s set off . +Hello . Can I speak to Alice , please ? +Hold on , please . +Thank you . +Sorry , but she's out . +Would you tell her Tom Gray called ? +I'd be glad to . +Good afternoon , how can I help you ? +Someone has stolen my gold necklace . +I am sorry to hear about that . Would you mind coming with me to my office and tell me exactly what happened here ? +Of course not . +Are you sure that it isn't somewhere in your room ? +Yes , I've looked everywhere in my room and I can ’ t find it . +Ok , when and where did you last see it ? +Last night on the dresser . I took it off before I went to the shower , and forgot to put it back on after the shower . And this morning I left the hotel in a hurry without wearing it . +Are you sure you didn't wear it this morning ? +Yes , I am positive . +Did you remember to lock your door before you left then ? +Yes , I think I did . It has to be one of your maids who took it . I want my necklace back . +Well , I understand how you feel , and we will try to do our best to help you . But first please allow me to send one of the housemaids to your room to look for it again thoroughly , just in case it's still in there . If she finds it , we will all be happy . If she doesn't , we will turn the whole matter to the police . But I must say that the hotel can't be held responsible for your loss . You should have locked your gold necklace away at the hotel ’ s safety box . If you had read your key card carefully , you would have realized that we specially warned you to do so . +That just isn't good enough . Cet me your general manager . I want to speak to him now . +I am sorry , ma ’ am . Our general manager is not in town . But I ’ d be more than glad to get you our assistant manager , if you like . But I am afraid that he will say the same thing . We have very clear instructions about valuables and we must follow them . And now if you will excuse me , I'll go and find our assistant manager for you . +Did you hear who won the election ? +I can ’ t believe that Obama won . +I couldn ’ t be happier to know that he ’ s our new President . +I know ! He just made history ! +You voted for him , right ? +I did . Did you ? +I voted for him . +I am so happy that he is our new President ! +So am I . +I hope that he brings change to America . +I have faith in him . +I have faith in our new President . +Are you willing to work abroad ? +Why not ? It's the very reason why I've applied for this job . It's really exciting for me to experience business in an international environment . +How about your family ? +They don't mind . +Hello , sir . Can I help you ? +What time is check-in ? +12:00 . You have to wait for a while . +OK . +Well , sir . Come with me . I will show you the waiting room . You must be tired . Have a short rest there . We will call you later . +Thank you . +Could I have my bill , please ? +Certainly , sir . +I'm afraid there has been a mistake . +I'm sorry , sir . What seems to be the trouble ? +I believe you have charged me twice for the same thing . Look , the figure of 6.5 dollar appears here , then again here . +I'll just go and check it for you , sir . +I need to get some beef . +Do you know what kind of beef you want ? +I want to get some ground beef . +How many pounds do you need ? +I would like four pounds of ground beef . +What kind of ground beef do you need ? +I would like the extra lean . +Let me go and get that for you . +Thank you very much . +No problem . I'll wrap it up for you now . +I appreciate that . +Good morning , I am here for my interview . +Hello , nice to meet you . I ’ m Mr . Gotcha . Have any trouble finding the place ? +No problem . +So why don ’ t you tell me why you are interested in changing positions ? +Unfortunately , our company is shutting down due to the economy . +What would you consider your strengths ? +I am probably best at researching for marketing purposes . +What is your biggest weakness ? +I tend to get bored easily and so love to keep myself challenged . +We have a position where that could work out well . +When can I move into my new house ? +The current owners will be moving out on Tuesday , so technically you could pick up the keys and move in on Wednesday . +Will the utilities be turned on ? +You need to contact the utility company and make arrangements to transfer the utilities to your name . +I really want to paint the walls right away and get the carpet cleaned . +If I were you , I would take a few days to take care of those things before you move in . +I was thinking that I should have my new appliances delivered as we are moving in . +That would be perfect . That way , someone will be there , but you will have them right away . +Can you help me on my move-in day ? +I think that I have something else really important to do on that day . I just can ’ t remember what it is . +When you told your mom you would be home around 2 am , She must have a cow ! +You are right . My mum must be crazy . +My accounts go where I go . Vince knows that . +Wow . You are a real snake . +It's business , Dave . +I know , I know . Kill , or die , right ? +Right . The faint of heart should not apply . +I really feel sorry for that rhumba boy if he ever identifies himself . +So do I . +Do you know what exporters consider ? +Well , they consider some distinct but related problems , such as seeking for a target market or locating the promising customer . An exporter needs to know about the social characteristics of people he is dealing with . +Could you talk about it in detail ? +Ok . You need to know what they like or dislike , what religions they follow . Especially you need to know how they behave , their habits and their way of life , the things that they are used to . Sometimes , people in different countries , have varying outlooks for cultural , political , religious . +I understand . Thank you . +Steve , thanks for looking after Johnny . +It was a pleasure , Mrs . Robinson . +And this kitchen is so clean . Did you help Johnny with that ? +I helped break ... I mean WASH ... all the dishes ! +That's great . And the garbage , too ? +Yeah , uh , it's outside . Listen , I really have to be going now . +Thanks for your help ! +Hello , welcome to IBA . What can I do for you ? +Do you offer a safety deposit box rental service here ? +We certainly do . May I ask you the purpose of the rental ? +I'd like to put some valuables inside , you know , documents and jewellery , things like that . +I see . We have various rental periods . How long would you like to rent it for ? +What rental do you offer ? +You can choose a short-term or yearly rental . +I'll have to ask my wife how long she'll need it for as it is mainly for her belongings . I'll come back after we have discussed it . Thanks for your help . +May I please speak to Tom ? +He's with someone right now , would you hold ? +Haven't run into you for ages ! +It really is.You ' Ve changed so much . +Really ? +Good morning , Mr Bell . How are you today ? Are you here to sort out your L / C documents ? +Yes . I've been through them and there's a problem , a rather major discrepancy actually . You see ? It should be KN509 . +I see , here it says KM509 . +Exactly , if we accept these it could cause a lot of problems in our record and our accounts system because the numbers don't match . +Yes , I see what you mean . You need to reject these documents . +Good evening , this is housekeeping . May I help you ? +Yes . This is room 207 . There isn't any hot water in my bath room . Can you send somebody here , and do something about it ? +Yes , sir . We'll be there shortly . +I am glad you are here ! See if you can find the problem . +Everything is OK now . +Thank you for repairing it . +You are welcome . It's our job to keep things running smoothly . +Today , we have invited a special guest , Prof . Yang . He will give us some advice on the legal aspects of international business . Your international legal advice is important to our business well being . Please give us some counsels on such issues as which laws govern the contract , what recourse is available for default or breach of contract by our clients or what to do if a dispute arises . +The significance of understanding the nuance and distinctions of foreign customs and business practices are a continual challenge for global entrepreneurs and trader . Despite many countries accession to TO membership , trade and investment frictions are still predominant among existing membership . However , these frictions will be better managed under the TO trade rules and the organization's dispute settlement mechanism . +In spite of this , international business contracts and arrangement must be precise , specific and all-inclusive to lessen misunderstanding , misconceptions and disagreements to the minimum 。 +Problem and disputes occur mainly due to difference in the laws of countries involved . For this very reason , it is imperative to establish from the outset which law governs when disputes arise . The most fundamental principle of all international contracts is the applicable laws and regulations . Make sure that the arbitration clause in your business contract be all-inclusive . +How can we protect our patents and trade market abroad ? +Yes , it will be your utmost interest to protect your intellectual property such as your innovations , idea , designs and copyrights in your target country . +As you know , our main focus is to penetrate the markets of countries in Asia . What is the current legal framework in the countries ? +The lack of regulatory transparency was a problem and still is to some extent . However , the countries are moving forward to deepen their reforms , new changes will involve the establisher of legal structures to sustain high levels of foreign as well a domestic private investments . This will surely strengthen the law and regulations in the countries , especially , areas related to trade issues . +Several years ago , the countries and China singed memorandums of understanding , pursuant to which the countries will improve their laws government intellectual property rights protection over the following two to three years . +Precisely , the actions the countries have committed to take are consistent with TO agreement . +I'm sorry I scratched your car . +Don't worry about it . It's just a drop in the bucket . That car has more scratches on it than I can count . +How are you , Mr . Zhang ? +Very well , thank you . And you ? +Fine , too , thanks . We met one year ago . We both took part in a party held by our company last year . +That's right . How nice to see you again . +Me too . How is your family ? +they are doing well . +Say ' hello ' to them for me . +Of course . They will be happy you asked about them . +I'd like to invite you for dinner tonight . Do you think you'll have time ? +Thank you for your invitation . I'm free tonight . +Which kind of food do you like to eat , Chinese food , western food or seafood ? +I prefer seafood . +OK . I will pick you up at your hotel at 5:30 p . m . +That's fine . I'll be waiting for you . +See you later . +Bye . +I feel absolutely horrible . My temperature is 41 degrees Celsius , and I've got a headache and a runny nose . +Do you have any other symptoms ? +I've also got a terrible stomach-ache . Is my face still swollen ? +Just a little . Has your toothache gone now ? +Yes , for the most part . It doesn't feel as bad as my other ailments , anyway . +How about your tongue ? Does it still hurt ? +No , the burn ointment seemed to take effect right away . I think it's already healed . +How did you get that burn again ? +I scalded on the hot coffee a few days ago . +You haven't had much luck lately , have you ? +No , but I'm sure I'll get better soon . +When's the last time you took your tablets ? +I took the red ones just before lunch and the white ones just after lunch . +I think it's time you took another dose of each . What would you like to drink with them ? +Just some water , please . Do you have any ointment for my nose ? It feels so itchy after blowing my nose so much . +Sure , I'll just go and get it now . what would you like to eat ? Some soup ? +that sounds good . +soup always makes me feel better when I'm sick . I hope it makes you feel better , too . +Is everything alright ? +Yes , everything is fine . +What took so long ? I thought your flight was supposed to arrive 3 hours ago ! +Didn't they announce that our flight was delayed ? +I didn't hear anything about a delay . I thought everything was running on time . What happened ? +We boarded the plane on time , but then we were held up for almost an hour due to a maintenance problem . +Then what ? Your plane was three hours late ! +We finally took off , but about 30 minutes later , the captain came on to the loudspeaker to warn us that there would be some bad turbulence for most of the flight . +Turbulence is pretty normal , isn't it ? +Yes , but this was the worst turbulence I'd ever experienced in my life ! Everyone started getting sick . The flight attendants had to stay in their seats . The captain decided to land early . +So where did you land ? +We landed in Southampton and waited an hour for the storms to pass and then took off again . +That sounds like a nightmare ! +It wasn't too bad . At lease I'm alive . +Have you had anything to eat ? +I managed to get a sandwich from a flight attendant . How about you ? +I had a few coffees while I was waiting . Let's get out of here ! +Do you have any more questions ? +No , sir . +Let's call it a day then.Good - bye , everyone . +Good-bye , sir +Can we talk ? +What about ? +I ’ m not too clear on some things about my lease . +Is there a problem ? +How many years is my lease for ? +In three years your lease will be up . +Can I move out before those three years ? +If you do , I will keep your deductible . +Why would you keep it ? +I would keep it because you would be breaking our contract . +I get it now . +I hope that I cleared things up for you . +What's the admission charge ? +An all-day pass is 30 dollars for adults and 20 for children . +Two adult passes , please . +That'll be 60 dollars . +Three twenty-five cent stamps , please . +Here you are . Seventy-five cents , please . +And please send this letter by registered mail . +Is there anything valuable in it ? +There's a check for two hundred dollars and a photograph . +Shall I make out a receipt ? +No , don't bother . +That will be ninety-five cents in all . +I'm going to go to the concession stand and get some popcorn and Coke . +Go ahead . Waste your money . +What are you talking about ? We always eat the stuff here . +Well , I don't ... anymore . +But what's a movie without munchies ? +I didn't say I was going to deprive myself . +John , do you have a minute ? +Oh , hi , Leo . Sure , what ’ s up ? +Well , I ’ Ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office . +I ’ m not in there very often . It ’ s so noisy that I can ’ t work . +That ’ s exactly what I ’ m getting at . We ’ re supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office , but have you noticed ? Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course . A lot people are going in and out . +Has anybody spoken to him about it ? +No , not yet , but someone ’ s going to have to . +We can ’ t really ask him to stop having students come in for help , can we ? +No , of course not . But I ’ m not able to do my work and neither are you . +How about recommending him to use the storage room down the hall ? +Oh , that would be too small . +With the cabinets taken out , it might be bigger than it looks . +Come to think of it , you may be on to something . Let ’ s go have a look . +Let ’ s rock n ’ roll . +Do you have any seat preference , madam ? +Yes , could you please put me in the non-smoking section ? +Would you like a window seat ? +Yes , if any one is available . But not over the wing . +I am sorry , there is no window seat in the non-smoking room . +It doesn't matter , I will take an aisle seat . +If I understand the terms correctly , the length of the contract would be one year with a one-year option . Is that correct ? +Do you mean the contract for equipment rental or the one for training ? +I was under the impression that both contracts had the same terms . +Yes and no . Let me see if I can clarify that . The terms are the same except that the contract for training has a clause that allows for the cancellation after the first six months . +Could you elaborate on that ? +Sure . What I mean is that either side could cancel the training contract after the six months as long as it's in writing . +Let me see if I have that right . This contract is for six months of training , but if it isn't cancelled , continues for another six months . Is that right ? +Yes , that's right . +Okay , that's clear enough . Let's move on to the other terms . +I've got a telegraphic order . Will you cash it ? +Have you got any identification ( ID ) with you ? +Yes . Here is my passport . +What currency will you have ? +US dollars , please . +All right , and how will you have it ? +500 in twenty dollar bills and the rest in a dollar bills . +Here you are . +Please count . +Jack , I don't know how to write my resume . Could you tell me about that ? +You should first write your name and contact information . +What does the contact information include ? +Such as your land line phone number , mobile phone number and e-mail box . +Anything else ? +Then you should write your objectives , such as seeking a position in foreign trade . +I see . It is the position desired +Yes . After that you should emphasize your skills , educational background and related experience . +I see .

I also noticed a small cavity up front here , so you are going to need a filling . +I guess that ’ s what I get for not flossing or brushing my teeth three times a day . +It could be that , or maybe you are eating too many sweets .

Warm up with some scales and arpeggios first . Good , good . This week , work on keeping the rhythm steady when you play the last part with the sixteenth note . Now let ’ s take a look at this tricky section . +Charles ? Before I start I was wondering if it was ok if I put a small crescendo in here and then decrescendo back to pianissimo again over here ? +It might work . I ’ ll have to hear it . Show me what you ’ Ve done . Not bad . +It was horrible ! I played play it much better at home ! +It ’ s just nerves . Just play the right hand for now . One two three four five six , ta ti tri-ple-ti . Good , good . Don ’ t forget the accidentals ! The key signature says that note should be a G-sharp but now it ’ s a G-natural . Now add the bass clef . You ’ re going too fast . Remember the tempo for this piece is andante . +Is that better ? +Yes , much better . Watch where you lift your foot off the pedal . What was that ? +Sorry ! The stretch for that octave is always hard to make . +That ’ s ok , keep going , you ’ re moving ahead by leaps and bounds . Watch your dynamics ! Keep your elbows lifted . Remember to stroke the keys , don ’ t pound . That ’ s better ! Remember that as a pianist or any other musician , your technique will be what separates you from the pack just as much or more so as your musicianship . +Those are the headlines for today , and now for the international weather report with Mike Sanderson . +Thank you , Bob ! This past week has been the beginning of Armageddon for many , a series of unprecedented meteorological events occurred around the world . In Switzerland , a major avalanche was reported in the Alps . Fortunately , no one was injured . Due to to the extreme cold this winter , a blizzard has struck the US Midwest , causing classes in schools and universities to be temporarily canceled . +Moving to to Latin American , Ecuador has suffered a six month drought that has not only affected farming , but has also forced the closure of the hydroelectric power plant that provides electricity for the entire country . In Chile , a major earthquake that registered seven point five on the Richter scale struck the southern region . Losses are reported to be in the billions . Authorities have not yet released an official statement . +Not a great week for the world ! Any good news ? +I ’ m afraid not , Bob . One of the major volcanoes in Mexico has erupted , causing major floods and landslides in the region . Meanwhile , Mexico ’ s coast has been hit by hurricane Liliana and officials say that all the seismic activity leads them to believe that a tsunami may hit Central America , affecting Honduras , Guatemala and Panama . That ’ s all the news we have for today , but stay tuned for updates on the six o ’ clock news .

You haven ’ t been here long enough . +But they do . +What makes you say that ? +They wear the same clothes , they ’ re all blond , they all drive cars , they all own Parker fountain pens ; they all drink Coca Cola , and they all chew gum . +I disagree with you . They don ’ t all wear the same clothes ; they ’ re definitely not all blond ; they don ’ t all own Parker fountain pens ; they don ’ t all drink Coca Cola , and they don ’ t all chew gum . I do think they all drive cars though ! But that doesn ’ t have anything to do with how they look ! +Maybe I am just homesick . I know you ’ re right . I just miss China , that ’ s all . +Dan , Dan , dude . You have to come over to my house right now ! +Is everything OK ? +Just get over here ! Come in ! Quickly ! +So , since when is your house a bank ? +What do you mean ? +I mean , what ’ s up with the locks and iron bars on your windows . +Security , Dan , security ! You can never be too safe you know ! A lot of sickos out there . Just the other day they caught that peeping tom red handed ! Had a high power telescope and binoculars by his window . +What ’ s the matter with you ? Why are you acting all paranoid ? +Paranoid ? I ’ m not paranoid ! I ’ m cautious ! You see Dan , we have to be on guard at all time ! People just invade your privacy as if they knew you ! Telemarketers , solicitors , even your bank ! They have way too much information ! I like to keep everything on a need to know basis . +OK , well , what did you want to see me about ? +You are being watched ! Be careful Dan ! Be careful ! +I can't believe my eyes , Bill . Are you having a salad for lunch ? No hamburger ? +Get used to it , Mary . I'm off hamburgers for good health . Most fast food is loaded with sodium . +I know . But why are you suddenly interested in lessening your salt intake ? +My doctor says I should cut back on sodium-rich foods to lower my blood pressure . +Do you have hypertension ? I would have thought you were too young . +Actually , my blood pressure isn't that high yet , but they say it increases with age . +Well , I'm glad you're starting to pay more attention to your diet . +I want to lower my risk of heart attack and stroke , too . +So do I . That's why I've been trying to lower my cholesterol level . +I've noticed you've been munching away on lots of fruits and vegetables recently . +That's right . I could stand to lose a few pounds , too . +I have had some really horrible headaches lately . +How long have your headaches been going on ? +I get headaches occasionally , but they have been really bad lately . +Any unusual amounts of stress in your life going on right now ? +I am getting ready to take my GRE . +Have you been able to sleep regular hours ? +It has been hard for me to sleep with a bad headache . +Has anything hit you in the head lately ? +I hit my head on a cupboard door a week ago . +Let ’ s have you come back in a few days and see how you feel . +Excuse me .

Alright , I'm ready . +Keep walking till ou pass the square , then turn right . Walk past two lights and turn left at the third . +Square ... turn right ... traffic lights ... And then ? +Keep walking and look for a tall building . +Tall building ... Which side is the building on ? +The right side . ICCC should be on the first floor . +Thank you very much . +You're welcome . +This is the Pan-American Club . May I help you ? +Yes . I believe you have a luncheon meeting this coming Wednesday .

Is three hundred dollars enough ? +No , I'm not asking for money , I'm asking for your advice . +Oh , you've already grown up , son . +Wake up , Mary . +What is it ? It's eight in the morning . +We're all going to church . Do you want to come ? +No . I'm not a religious person . +Are you sure ? +Maybe next weekend . I went to bed too late last night . +Okay , then . We'll be back around noon . +Alright . +We have received your resume in answer to our ads . I would like to talk with you regarding your qualification for this position , OK ? +It is my honor to have this chance for this interview . Well , my major is commercial English . You know , and I am not only familiar with useful English expressions in business , but also learn some theories on this field . Besides , during my college learning period , I also attended some commercial activities to strive for the opportunity of practicing what I learned . +What is your greatest weakness ? +Well , I was a diligent student when I stayed in my college . I dislike meeting the deadline , when I am working on a project . I am always willing to complete it well ahead of the schedule . +What is the greatest disappointment in your life ? +Well , I lost my grandpa when I was only ten .

I'll take it . +I'm so happy that you found what you wanted . Do you want to use a credit card ? +Sure . Wait , wait . Does a lid come with this pan ? +Oh , I'm sorry . Here's the lid .

I am quite a stone in the water and cannot swim . +What can I do for you ? +Yes , I made a reservation for 3 days for April 3rd to 6th , and my name is Sara . +Yes , what's the problem ? +Well , I want to extend it for 2 more nights . +So you will stay until 9th ? +Yes . +OK , we'll make the correction for you . +Thank you . +Mr . Johnson , there's something I'd like to talk over with you . Would sometime this week be convenient for you ? +Let me see . Would it be all right on Wednesday morning ? +That'll be fine . +Then I will see you in my office at ten Wednesday morning . +Are you sure you know where this bus goes ? +It should go to Altadena . +What do you mean it should ? +I'm not completely sure if it really does . +Dude , are we on the right bus ? +I'm almost positive that this is the right one . +It doesn't look like we're on our way to Altadena . +We have been riding this bus for a long time . +What does that sign say ? +I think it says Temple City . +Yup , I'm never trusting you with the bus schedules again . +I'm sorry . But at least we know which bus to catch to get back where we started . +Yeah , at least . +Hi , can I assist you in any way ? +Oh , thank you . Yes , please . What I need is to handle some domestic affairs . +Oh , I see . In what area ? +Well , I need a Deposit Certification to handle this . +Yes , we have this service .

Actually , I work a little longer than nine to five most days . +Do you get paid overtime ? +No , I don't . I get a bonus each month , depending on the value of the contracts I sign with clients . +Do you have any breaks ? +We have an hour-long lunch break from twelve to one . We can take coffee breaks during the day . My boss doesn't mind , as long as we get our work done on time . +My boss gets annoyed if we take coffee breaks . I suppose your job involves a lot of paperwork , doesn't it ? +There's some paperwork , but most of the time we put the information into our computers . Then we can send information to each other by email or across the network . Do you work in a cubicle ? +Yes , I do . I don't like it very much . +I work in a cubicle too , but I don't mind it . +My minibar is completely empty . +Everything in that minibar has been consumed , sir ? +Everything's gone . +Is there anything special you'd like ? +Just bring me three bottles each of Jim Beam and Perrier . +Okay , sir . Three of each . Would you like anything else ? +The fruit basket was great . I need a few more apples , please . +Perrier , Jim Beam , and apples .

It was beginning to sound like she was too good to be true ! +Look , I've got a problem here . Will you help me ? +I'm not sure if I can , but I'll try . +Hello , Mr Lawson . It's a pleasure to see you again . You seem to be in here all the time at the moment ! What can I do for you today ? +I've prepared some L / C documents , all in accordance with the conditions . There shouldn't be any problems ; I've done about a million of these things recently . +You're right , no problems . You are becoming quite the expert , Mr Lawson . If any problem does turn up , which I'm sure it won't , I'll give you a call . +Thanks very much . I'm sure I'll be back , so see you again soon . Bye ! +Hello , there . You are looking a little confused ; can I help you with something ? +Well , I've always used the Bank Book , but now I have this card . I don't know how to use it in the machine . +Don't worry ; I can help you with that . I understand that new technology can sometimes be unnerving . The first thing we need to do is check the ATM is in service . This one is fine . +Yes , I sure can . I feel like a dinosaur with all of these youngsters and their electronics . This machine is working , then ? +Yes , this one is in service . Put your card in here , in this slot and wait a moment . Then you will see some instructions on the screen . +Oh , it wants me to put in my PIN number . OK , I can do that ... +And press ' enter ' to confirm , here . Now you need to decide which service you need . +There are so many to choose from . I didn't know you could do all of this using a card . +That's the beauty of these machines , you can do almost anything . And unlike a person , they don't usually take breaks or go off sick ! +Could you send up a Coke and a salad ? +Yes.Which kind of salad dressing would you prefer ? +Make them with French dressing . +I'll do that then . +Excuse me . I want to pay for these items . +OK . This way , please . +How much is it all together ? +Let me see . 100 dollars . +Can I pay by credit card ? +Sorry . You can only pay in cash . +OK .

I wonder if it's convenient to change our appointment from tomorrow to next Wednesday , still at the same time . +I'm afraid I won't be free next week . +It's a shame.Will this afternoon be all right ? But I can only spare you an hour and a half today , from four o'clock . +That's OK . +Can I help you ? +I'd like two kilos of eggs . +What kind ? +Do you have the eggs with the red yolk ? +Sorry , madam . We have stopped selling those kinds of eggs for a week . +Why ? +You know , red yolk is proved unnatural . It's artificial , and may lead to cancer . +Oh , My God ! That's terrible . +Yes , so they are no longer being sold . +Then give me the ordinary ones . +Madam , what can I do for you ? +Next week there will be a meeting with the manager of USE Company ; this is an important opportunity for our company to have a new relationship with a new partner .

I will finish it very well . +All right . I want to bring everybody in on this project . When can we start working on this ? +Well , we could probably get started with a strategy meeting tomorrow morning at 8: 00 . +I tell you what , 8: 00 is no good for me , but why don't you guys get started and I'll come by at around 8: 45 or so . +That's fine with me . How much time are we going to have to work on this ? +Do you want to sign for a Korea language class ? +What for ? Oh , I see , you mean next year our company will expand business to the South Korea market . +Right , we have located a business partner in Seoul . The first contact proves to be successful . The general manager of South Korean company has scheduled to pay a visit to us next month . I think it is quite possible to set up a joint venture company with them soon . +Well , sounds promising . But I think our company will provide us with the language training courses if it is necessary . We need not bother signing for the language by ourselves . +A slow sparrow should make an early start . You know , I am not quick at learning any language . +If we are to modernize our information processing , manufacturing system and management code , we need to complete our office automation . +Yes , you're right . We have to equip our company with a network of workstations at every office as soon as possible . +Our copying machines are too slow , our telephone system is limited in function , and our offices are not well-equipped for us to work efficiently . To improve the offices for higher efficiency , we have to change all the chairs and some of the desks also , redesign our office so that we may have more space . +Good . We can contact the Tiana Office Furniture Store , and ask them to install computers in our company , deliver new tables and other furniture to match the function of the computers , and to improve our work atmosphere simultaneously . +Can I help you ? +Thank you , but I'm just looking around . How much does this skirt cost ? +This is the new style.Two hundred and twenty-eight . +May I try it on ? +Of course , please . +Can you give me a better deal ? +Two hundred and ten yuan . It is the lowest price . +Well , I'll give one hundred and eighty yuan for it . +Well , two hundred yuan . +No , this is my final offer . +OK , I'll wrap it for you . +Hello , Steven . Do you have any questions to ask me ? +Yes . There are several data documents about this contract . Please advise me which one I should give up . +Let me see . The data documents with ' A ' and ' B ' are the drafts , and the ones with ' C ' and ' D ' are formal contracts . Do you know what I mean ? +I see . Thanks for your instruction . +Not at all . I am pleased to tell you these . +Daddy , do you mind helping me prepare the supplies for mountain climbing . +OK . I am coming . +Is it gonna to rain tomorrow ? +I have checked the weather report . It says it will be cloudy , but no rain . +Just take my umbrella in case of rain . +Daniel , don't forget to take enough water and food . +Definitely , or else , I will starve to death halfway up the mountain . +Me , too , haha . +Daddy , may I take your compass ? I feel so cool with it in my hand . +All right . Oh , I nearly forgotten , I left my sneakers at my office . +It doesn't matter . I can go with you to the supermarket to pick up a new pair . +OK , after we finish our preparation , we'll go to the supermarket . +May I help you ? +I don't feel well .

I need a new car rather soon . +Well , I can say that the new models will be here in August . If you order one now , we will have it for you in August . +That's good enough , I think . What colors does the new Accord come in ? +We have this new model in red , white , black , or silver . These are the standard colors . Of course you could specially order from various other colors too . +My brother has last year's Accord . And his car is a kind of soft purple color mixed with silver . I really like that color .

Without support from you and other colleagues , I would not have made it . +I hope I could get promoted some day . Tell me about your experience , ok ? +Well , just saying that you wanted to get promoted is not enough , you need to write down your desirable position and an available plan for achieving that adjective . Don ’ t be afraid of taking challenging . They might be opportunities and failing is not fatal . You learn more from that actually . Sometimes , you need to fail to be successful . +How do you think if I volunteer for some work ? +I think it is a smart idea .

They're quiet most of the time.But they can be every bit as affectionate as dogs . +Well , cats are certainly more independent . +Absolutely . Believe it or not , I found my cat by a garbage can around my neighborhood two years ago . +oh , really ? so you just took home a stray cat ? +Yes . It was starving and looking for something to eat when I saw it . +Poor cat . +Now we get along very well . It makes me feel that I'm someone special . +Hello . City News . Can I help you ? +Hello .

Can I go there to play ball ? +Watch out for strangers , and don't go too far away . Alright ? +Can you tell me how to reach the bank please ? +Which bank ? There are two , the Allied Irish Bank and the Bank of Ireland . +I have an AIR pass card and I want to withdraw money from the bank . +You need to go to the Allied Irish Bank which is near the local shopping centre , Dunned Stores . +How do I get there . I have no knowledge of this area . +Cross the road and turn left at the other side . Walk along the footpath until you reach the traffic lights . You will see a shopping centre on the right hand side . Walk across the road and turn right after the shopping centre . Keep going straight for about 100m and the bank is to your left . +It sounds very complicated . How far is it from here ? +It's not so complicated . It's about five minutes walk from here . I can draw a map for you if you wish . +Oh , I would really appreciate that . By the way will I be going North or South ? +You will be going northwards . You are now in the the Western part of the city and the Allied Irish Bank is situated in the North East . Here's a rough sketch of the area . +So how did I do ? +Not too good , I'm sorry . +I lost ? +It was close.To be honest , you had the lowest price by three cents per hint , but they didn't like your delivery date.Acme promised them almost a full month sooner . +So the price was good ? +Yes , they loved the price , the delivery date was the problem . They just didn't want to cut the delivery date that close.If something went wrong and you didn't deliver , we might not be able to get stock in time for Christmas.If you could have been two or three weeks faster on delivery , they might have gone with you . +So I didn't miss by much then . +No.It was very close and they argued over the bid for a long time . Better luck next time . +I knew the delivery was slow but I figured the price would win it for me . +That's possible , Bill.But the price would have to have been a lot lower , like around fifty cents per unit . +I'd have a look at some pots and pans . +We've got several kinds . All are made of different materials . +What kind is most durable , please ? +Well , here is one made of duralumin . That's cheap and durable . Over there we've also got some made of stainless steel , and those over there are enamel ones . +I'll have the stainless ones . They look very solid . +Yes , sir . Stainless steel products are always popular . +Is supper ready ? I'm hungry . +Almost ready . Could you set the table ? +Ok . What are we having ? +We'll have fruit salad to start and then the roast beef . +I'll have my beef well-done , please . By the way , don't we have soup tonight ? +I didn't prepare it , but if you want , I can cook some . What soup would you like to have ? +Let me see . Well , I'd like onion soup . Thank you . +Hello there , Sir . I've dealt with you before , haven't I ? +You remember me ! Yes , I'm with Li Wang Enterprises ; I'm the Accountant Peters . +Yes , of course , Mr Peters !

I will try my best to do the job well . +That is good of you to say so.When can you start working ? +How about next monday ? +Ok.Let ' s make is next Monday . I n the end , you need to fill out the application form . +Thank you for your kindness , ma'am . See you next Monday . +Chinese tea is famous all over the world .

And I use the stepping machine.So I need good running shoes . +That's not the same.Maybe you want to buy running-shoe-style shoes , but not real running shoes . +What's the difference ? +There isn't much difference . But there is some difference.For one thing , real running shoes are much more expensive.They have very lightweight materials.They ' re designed for serious runner +And what are running-shoe-style shoes ? +They look like running shoes.They have the same shape . And you can use them for running too.But they're not so serious . They aren't designed for serious runners.You can use them for exerce +But they aren't as light , right ? +That's right.If you want a really lightweight shoe , you should buy a high-quality running shoe . +That's what I want.For exercising at the club . I can even spend 100 dollars on them . I don't care . +But it's a waste of money . You won't really run in them ! You don't need such a shoe to use exercise machines .

Let's look at the New Balance shoes . +Here it is . This is what my sister has . +Yes , that's it . That's their top model . +I wonder if they have my size . +Well , we can wait for the assistant to help us , or we can look through the boxes down here . What is your size ? +Here in America , it's six . +Well , here you are . Size six . Woman's . 137 dollars.Wow , what a waste of money ! +It's none of your business .

Let's get down to business now . +Say it . +As you know , we should work out cautious and detailed plan for our promotion , so as to guide our company to be successful in the new product , L-series . +That's right . And in my opinion , to push the sale of the new products is not an easy task . +I know that . I need to discuss this with Arden . And in his opinion , we should widen the scope of our ads , so newspaper and Internet should be adopted in this campaign . +Could you put it in detail ? +Well . We plan to contact www . on-line advertising . com.cn and Shanghai Morning Newspaper to discuss the advertisement schedule . +I think the idea is very good . In the promotion campaign , two or more media are used together , so as to draw customers ' attention and keep hold their attention to larger extent . +What kind of media do you recommend ? +I think TV is also an effective media , as long as our company is willing to spend more money on it . +Well . Arden just mentioned the paper and the on-sales . And I can talk about TV with him later , because TV promotion gets more and more popular among consumers . +I also think good advertising is essential to call attention to a product and introduce our L-series products . Meanwhile , ads are also the representation of the company's image . +You look so excited . What happened ? +You are not going to believe this . Do you remember the dress we saw at Mayors that was so beautiful and expensive ? I got it today at half price . +So they have started the year end sale earlier this year . +How can you stay so calm ? Aren't you going to take a look to see if there is anything for you ? +I guess I'll wait a few more days . There maybe even bigger discount then . +But there won't be anything good left . +My name is Mary , and I will be your waitress tonight . +Thank you , Mary . We have been looking forward to trying out this restaurant . +Before your main course , would you like to order an appetizer ? +Sure , that sounds great . Where are your appetizers listed ? +There is a special appetizer menu right here in the center of the table . +The chicken and cheese quesadilla looks good . Is that pretty good ? +You know , that is one of my favorites ! +OK , I'll take one order of that . +You could choose another appetizer for half price to share . +Perfect ! Please add on an order of onion rings . +Flight BE - 407 to Paris is delayed .

Do you know a seamstress or tailor who can shorten them ? +I know several . But wouldn't it be easier to take the shirt back and exchange it for the right size ? +Isn't that complicated ? +No , it's easy . We'll just take the shirt back to the men ’ s department and show them the sales slip . They'll exchange it for the correct size or give you a refund . +We ? Do you want to go with me ? +Sure . I love going to the mall . +What do you do there ... hang around , like the kids ? +Can I help you , madam ? +Yes , I'm looking for a new winter coat . +Have you any particular color in mind ? +I don't know really.What ' s the fashional color this year ? +Red is very popular . +Good.Red suits me very well.It ' s a cheerful color , isn't it ? +Yes , madam , I agree.What size are you ? +Well , I used to be size fourteen , but I've put on a bit of weight recently , so may be sixteen . +Here you are , madam.All these are sixteens . +I quite like this one.How much is it ? +It's $ 180 . +Oh , that's too expensive.Aren ' t there any cheaper ones ? +These are our cheapest coats , madam . +Yes , I see .

It's not as if you are gonna get in trouble ! +Actually I will ! I am working out with a personal trainer that gets on my case if I don't go . I like it , because it makes me feel more obligated to go and get healthy . +That's cool , does your personal trainer basically teach you how to work out ? +Yeah . He makes a work put plan depending on the areas I want to work on , or the muscles I want to build . Like for example in order to get better muscle tone in my abs , pecs and biceps , he makes me work out with free weights . Then for my quads , calves and hamstrings , I do leg lifts or squats . +Sounds like you are really getting in shape ! +Excuse me , how do I get to Wall Street ? +Take the A train south to the Liberty Ave . stop .

It's about our order contract O5TSWAL . +What's the problem ? +The goods arrived half a month later than scheduled . What's more , five cases were found broken and unit inside seriously damaged . +Really ? That's something unexpected . You see , all our exports were strictly inspected before shipment . The goods were in perfect condition when they left . +But then there were some cracks in a number of cases . Almost all the bottom of the cases were loose . +That could have happened in the course of transit or unloading , due to rough handling . +But our surveyors found the damage was caused by poor packing . +But there is nothing wrong with our packing . Our cartons are standard export ones and we also enforced them with straps . +But you filled the cartons too full and the straps are not strong enough . When they were rehandled , some of them were broken . +I don't think the stevedores could have handled them with great care . +Here is your ticket . Let's get in the museum . +Sure . The exhibits on display were really fascinating . +I can't agree more . I think we'd better hire a guide so that we can learn more . +Good idea .

You've got a cold . +What should I do , doctor ? +Take this medicine three times a day . +Yes . +Drink a lot of water and have a good rest . You'll be well soon . +Thank you . +Well , we didn't ask for this room service maybe someone else ask it , I ’ m sure . +Oh , is it ? Let me check . +Yes , please . +I'm sorry to say this room charge is yours . +We paid for the room service already in our room . +Do you have any evidences ? +No , we got no receipt , and we pay it on the spot ! +What do you do ? +I ’ m a firefighter . +Really ? That ’ s so cool . +I ’ m really lucky to do something I really love . +What station do you work at ? +I work downtown at station 24.It can get a little crazy sometimes but that ’ s what makes it challenging . +May I see your passport ? +Here it is . +How long are you going to stay ? +For one week . +What is the purpose for your visit ? +For sightseeing . +Where are you going to stay ? +At the Hilton hotel . +Do you have anything to declare ? +No , nothing . +Is it okay to have a day off next week ? +Why ?

I will pay attention to such a thing next time . +Hi , Helen . Where are you going on this summer vacation ? +I'm going to Disneyland . +That sounds like fun ! +Okay , here are the graphs and figures for this month's sales . Let's review them all together . +This first one , I have a question ... This graph is marking the sales performance for our line of hair products , right ? Can this line be right ? It looks like our sales plummeted . I can't believe we did that poorly ... If I remember correctly , sales went down slightly , but not as dramatically as the graph shows . +I think you are looking at the wrong line . The rapid drop in sales wasn't our hair products . You are correct , the hair product sales decreased slightly , but not dramatically . The one that didn't do so hot this month was the cleaning products . I think there was a problem in the marketing plan . Some people were offended by our advertisements for the cleaning products , but it was already too late to mitigate the damage , so our mistake shows up in the sales . +Well , the good news is the new industrial cleaning products really took off . Look how the sales have shot up over the last two weeks . +That is our one major success . If you look at the other graphs , you can see that most of the other product lines remained steady with little increase . +At lease they stayed the same . That's better than dropping . +Are you going to eat anything with your sandwich ? +I may get some fruit . +Oh really , what kind of fruit do you like ? +I tend to only eat grapes and apples . +What kind of apples do you prefer ? +I've always liked green apples . +I don't really like green apples that much . +Why do you say that ? +I think they are too sour . +You'd rather eat a red apple ? +Don't you like red apples ? +They're okay , I guess . +Peter , why don't you go outside and play basketball with your friends ? +No , Mum , I'd rather stay inside . +I just can't understand why you want to stay at home . It is such a wonderful day today . +I prefer staying at home and watching TV . +Didn't you just finish watching a basketball game on TV ? +Yes , but a football game is next . +Oh , Peter . You really should go and play ball yourself rather than watching games . +I just enjoy watching games . +You really shouldn't watch so much television . +While you are thinking about what you might like to order for dinner , would you like to order your drinks ? +Can you tell me where your wine list is ? +The wine list is posted right there on the board . +Can we order a mixed drink in this restaurant ? +Yes , we have a wide selection of mixed drinks available from our bar . +Do you have any house specials that you could recommend ? +Our most popular drinks are our Cuervo Gold margaritas . +That sounds like a good choice for me . May I have one , please ? +Can I bring that to you on the rocks , or would you like it blended ? +Please bring it to me on the rocks . +Salt or no salt ? +I would like it with no salt , please . +What ’ s the matter , dear ? +Something awful happened . We went to the Portobello Road , and someone stole my handbag . +Oh , dear . Did you lose a lot of money ? +No . Only a few pounds . But my passport was in the bag . That ’ what I ’ m really worried about . +You must tell your embassy about it . And I think they ’ ll issue you with a new one . +May I have the menu , please ? +Sure . Here you go . +Would you mind giving me a hand ? +Okay , Bob , What is it ? +Help me hang up this picture , please . Would you hold it straight while I put in the nail ? +All right . +Now , hand me the hammer and those nails , please . +Yes , here you are . +There ! How does it look ? Tell me if I've got it straight . +Well , it's straight , but it's upside down I'm afraid . +How do we spend our holiday ? Do you have any good ideas ? +Come over and chew the fat . We can enjoy to our hearts'content . +I am Liu Yi , from China XYZ Company . I ’ d like to see Mr . Thomas , please . +Do you have an appointment , Mr . Liu ? +No , I am afraid not . I just arrive in town today . +Mr . Thomas is quite busy , I ’ m afraid he won ’ t be able to see you today . +Would you please ask when he will be free ? +Have a seat please while I call . +John , I ’ Ve asked you not to smoke in here ! I don ’ t want to see you smoking in my office again . +I ’ m sorry , Ms . Fairbanks . I won ’ t let it happen again . +That ’ s what you said the last time ! If you want to smoke , you ’ ll have to use your break time and go outside ! +I understand , Ms . Fairbanks . +It's my first time to come to Bangkok . Could you recommend some places for me ? +Well , it depends on what you have . +What do you mean ? +It takes only one day and you could experience almost all the famous spots in the city , I don't think you would like to miss it . +Sounds persuasive . How much will you charge for it ? +50 dollars per person . +That's reasonable . Will you take care of meals for the day ? +Of course . Please take it easy . +I see . May I know the schedule ? +Why not ? +Royal Hotel , can I help you ? +Yes . I urgently need a room for tomorrow night , and do you have any vacancies ? +Yes , we have . What kind of room would you like ? +I'd like a suite with an ocean view , please . +No problem , sir . +What is the price of the suite ? +It is $ 200 per night . +It is a little high . I'm told that your hotel is offering discount now . +Yes , but the offer ended yesterday . I'm sorry . +Oh , I see . Then do you have anything less expensive ? +No , sir . So far it is the least expensive suite for tomorrow night . +OK , I will take it . By the way , does the price include breakfast ? +Yes , it does . Now could I have your name , please ? +My name is David White . +Would you kindly spell it for me ? +That is D-A-V-I-D , W-H-I-T-E . +Thank you , I got it . And how long do you expect to stay ? +About three days . +OK . Our check-in time is after 12:00 . And see you tomorrow . +Thank you . See you . +What kind of work do you want to do when you finish university ? +I want to work in the banking industry . I ’ Ve always been interesting in working for an international invest bank . I ’ d like to help people invest their money . +That ’ s a job that pays well . If you ’ re lucky , you might have opportunities to travel as well . Have you applied to any banks yet ? Our course will end soon . +Yes . I ’ Ve sent letters to several banks . A few have invited me for interviews after we take our examinations . +Well done ! I haven ’ t sent off any job applications yet . +Which field would you like to work in ? have you decide yet ? +I ’ d like to work in marketing . I think I could have a good career in that field . +Perhaps you should apply to banks as well . They need people to market their service . As you said , the banking industry pays well . +That ’ s great idea . Do you have the email address of human resource managers at any banks ? +I need to talk to you about something . +What did you need to talk about ? +I have some questions about my lease . +Like what ? +Exactly how long is my lease for ? +Your lease will be up in three years . +What will happen if I move out before then ? +If you move out before then , you will not get your deductible . +I don ’ t understand . +Because our contract says that you will live here for three years . +Okay , I think that I understand . +I ’ m glad you understand . +Is everything to your satisfaction ? +No , the steak was recommended , but it is not very fresh . +Oh ! Sorry to hear that . This is quite unusual as we have steak from the market every day . +So what ? It is not fresh and I'm not happy about it . +I'm sorry , sir . Do you wish to try something else ? That would be on the house , of course . +No , thank you . +I ’ m glad you could find time to meet with me , Mr . Johnson . I can ’ t think of a nicer environment for our meeting today , the ambiance here is lovely ! +No problem , if possible I always combine business with pleasure . Now , let ’ s hear more about these chocolates you ’ re offering . +Well , as you know , I have recently become the sole distributor for Grangers Gourmet Bon-bons here in the United States . They ’ re a new manufacturer and are looking to break into the luxury market . Naturally , your restaurant sprang into my mind immediately . I think your brand exemplifies many of the same traits as Grangers and serving these chocolates would really add to your reputation for providing elegant , luxurious , first class dining . +Mmmm , sounds interesting ... gourmet chocolates , where are they produced ? Belgium ? +Actually , the factory is located in Scotland . +Really ? I didn ’ t think they were known for their luxury chocolate production ... +That ’ s what makes this such a fantastic opportunity ! The government is one hundred percent supportive of creating new export markets and has guaranteed a low tariff for all wholesale orders of over one thousand units . They ’ Ve also reduced the red tape involved at customs as well . Here , I brought these especially for you , try one ! +Oh , thanks . Mmm , hmm , creamy texture , very smooth ... +Unique , aren ’ t they ? I bet you ’ Ve never tasted anything like it ! Quality is assured as I personally visit the factory to make sure no one ’ s cutting corners with the ingredients . Only the creme make it through inspection . +Yes , very interesting flavors ... Slightly spicy , very unique , that ’ s for sure . Exactly what ARE the ingredients ? +I have it on highest authority that this traditional secret recipe has been handed down in the Granger family for generations . I ’ m sure you can keep a secret.Buttermilk , cacao beans , sugar and Haggis . +Haggis ? What ’ s Haggis ? +It ’ s a traditional Scottish delicacy ; you take sheep ’ s liver , heart and lung and stuff it inside of the sheep ’ s stomach . +I wonder who that man is . +Which man ? +The one smoking a cigar . +Oh , he's the coach of the football team . +Welcome to Galant . How can I help you ? +Hi . I would like to get an internet plan for my house . +Of course . We have three different plans with different prices you can choose from . The first one is the cheapest but most basic plan which is thirty dollars a month . This is for broadband internet with a download speed of five hundred and twelve kbps . +I have no idea what kbps means . I just want to be able to get online , play games and chat with my friends . Oh , and watch movies online as well . +Well , this connection might be a bit too slow for your needs . I suggest you get the premium package for fifty dollars a month which includes a connection speed of two megabytes . That way you can play games online without any lag . This package also includes a wireless router and a personal firewall absolutely free ! +Do I have to pay an installation fee ? +Lucky for you , this month we aren ’ t charging our normal installation fee . You are saving yourself 100 bucks right there ! And we ’ ll throw in this pen drive ! +Awesome ! +Could you make up this prescription for me , please ? +Certainly . I'll do it for you right away . Sorry the drugs on this order are out of stock . +What can I do ? +Would you prefer to take similar medicine of other brands ? +Could I ? +Certainly . I recommend this medicine . It's the same medicine , same quality , at a much lower cost . And it helps just as much . In fact , you'll feel better just by saving the money , I promise . +Great . I'll take this brand . And how do I take these medicines ? +This is for internal use . Two tablets , four times a day . +Thank you . +You're welcome . +I want to make a phone call . Can you show me how ? +Of course , pick up the receiver , hit a button and listen for a tone . Are you hearing it ? +Yes , now what do I do ? +Well , after you dial 9 on the keypad , you should hear the tone change . +No , nothing changed . +When you dial 9 and hear the tone change it means you have an outside line . Who are you trying to call ? +I am trying to call my boss . +For an outside call you now just dial the number . For a company number you need to know the extension . Do you have a list of extensions ? +I know a few extensions but I don't know them all . +You can always look an extension up on the company website . +We're thinking of ordering fifty refrigerators . But , there's one problem . +What's that ? I thought our negotiation went very well . +The only problem is the price . It's not possible for us to make any sales at this price . +$ 1500 is almost the lowest price we can offer . +I'm afraid I can't agree with you there . Your price is much higher than other companies . +You get what you pay for , considering the high quality , our price is very reasonable . +I don't deny that the refrigerator is of top quality . If you could go a little lower , we'll place the order right away . +Sorry , I can't give you an immediate answer for this problem , let me talk to our general manager first . +All right , we'll wait for your answer . +Excuse me . I seem to have lost my son . +Take it easy , madam . And speak slowly . May I have your name first ? +Shirley . +What's your son's name ? +Daniel . +Can you describe his appearance to me ? +He is in a blue sportswear and a white sportsshoes . About 1.4 meters . +OK , I see . Dear Daniel , please come to the broadcasting station when you've heard this , your mother is waiting for you . If other tourists see a boy in a blue sportswear and a pair of white sportsshoes , 1.4 meters , please ask him to go to the broadcasting station . Thank you ! +Hello ! I need to make a copy of something at once . +There's a copy machine on the first floor in our computer lab , sir . +Fantastic ! Is there a charge ? +It's ten cents a copy , sir . +Well , I'm only making one copy , so I guess I can afford it . +A dime is still a bargain , sir . +I want to get a bite to eat . +What are you thinking of getting ? +I have no idea what I want . +You can get a burger , or some Chinese food . Or maybe you can get some Mexican food . +I wouldn't mind getting some Chinese food . +Where are you going to get your Chinese food from ? +I'm not sure . +When I want Chinese food , I go to Panda Express . +Do they do a good job on the food ? +The food isn't bad there . +I think I will get my food from Panda Express , too . +have you ever been in an earthquake ? +yes , I experienced one when I was in Tokyo once . The tremors only lasted a few seconds though and then it was over . +do you know where it measured on the Richter scale ? +I don't remember , but it wasn't very serious . Have you ever been in an earthquake ? +no , but I was in quite a few tornados when I was younger . +where are you from ? +I'm from the plains of the Midwest . It's a prime location for tornadoes . +did your house ever get damaged from the winds ? +most of the time we were lucky , but once a tree from our front yard was ripped out by its roots and ended up in our living room . +wow , that must have really been scary . +actually , some of my fondest memories of my childhood were of spending time with my family in the basement waiting for the tornados to pass . +have you ever experiences a flood ? +no , but my father's car was destroyed in a flood once . It actually happened the day after he bought the car ! +that sure didn't last long ! +Do you know how to drive ? +I'm a great driver . +Could you teach me how to drive ? +Have you gotten your learner's permit ? +Yes , I have my learner's permit . +Have you ever been behind the wheel ? +I've only driven a car one time . +You do know all the controls in the car , don't you ? +I know them . +Tell me when you want me to teach you . +We can do it when you have some time . +I'm not busy tomorrow . Call me then . +I'd like to order a restock on my minibar . +You finished everything in there , sir ? +Absolutely everything . +What would you like to order ? +Three bottles each of Perrier and Jim Beam . +Uh-huh . What else do you want ? +The apples were great . Could you bring a couple more up ? +No problem . Is there anything else I can get for you ? +Some grape juice would also be nice . +I'll get all of that for you right away . Someone should be up shortly +This is the house I want to rent . +Could you tell me the advantages of it ? +No problem . First , it's comfortable and cozy . Second , it has a lovely view of the city . Third , it has all kinds of electric appliances that we need , such as refrigerator , electric stove , heating apparatus , washing machine and dishwasher . Forth is the most important , the electricity is free of charge . Finally , it's located in the center of the city and the transportation is convenient . +There is something in what you said , but what is the rent ? +200 dollars per week . +In my opinion , the rent is far more expensive than that in other areas . +It certainly is . But to tell you the truth , the room is so large that I can share it with someone else , and that will decrease the total amount of the rent . +Your intention is good , but I still can't agree with you . If no one would like to share it with you , you have to pay it all by yourself . +Don't you think I can save some bus fares since it ’ s easy to go anywhere from here and it ’ s near the place where I work ? +I agree with you in this way . But how often do you go to work or shopping per week ? +Twice a week for work and once for shopping . +In my opinion , you have to go to the university every day , and the fare would cost you most of your living expenses if you live here far away from the university . +That's true . Ok , I will think about it . +Can I see the doctor ? +Yes , do you have an appointment ? +No , I don't . +Well . The doctor doesn't see nobody without an appointment . +Well , I am spending my vacation here and I have a stomachache and ... +Oh , I see . Maybe we can fit you in at 3 . +I ’ d prefer to see him asap . If I have to wait for another 30 mins , I think I will faint from this unbearable pain in my stomach and ... +Oh , why didn't you say it's an emergency ? Here , fill out this form and take a seat . I'll send you in next.You don't have insurance ? +No , not for this country . +How about traveler's insurance ? +No , I didn't think I ’ d need it . +Can you pay cash , then ? +Cash , credit card , cheque anything . I just have to see a doctor . I am in pain . +All right , all right , relax . I am only trying to do my job . +I know . I am sorry that I yelled at you . +Diana's Flowers , Diana Lin's office , may I help you ? +Is Diana in ? +No , she's out for lunch . May I take a message ? +Yes , please ask her to call John Smith . +Ok , I'll make sure she gets the message . +Can you type , Jane ? +Yes , I can . +How many words a minute ? +About 100 words a minute . +En ... and can you speak any foreign languages ? +Yes , I can speak Spanish , and I can also speak Chinese . +Really ? that ’ s very good . What about French ? +No , I can ’ t speak French . But I can speak Italian , not very well though . +... Can you start next week ? +Next week ? +Yes , on Monday . +You mean I have the job ? +Yes , that ’ s right , you have the job now . +Hello.Is this room service ? +Yes.May I help you ? +This is room 1425.We asked for the room service an hour ago . +We're very sorry to cause you a lot of inconvenience . +What's the matter ? +We're rather busy right now.It will take another 15 minutes . +Is it really going to take that long ? Will you rush the order ? +I'm afraid it would take 15 minutes at most . +Ah , well , we have no choice . +I ’ Ve decided to grow my own garden ! +What ? You don ’ t know the first thing about gardening ! +On the contrary , I have been reading a lot of books about the subject . +Oh yeah ? Tell me then , smarty pants , how will you go about setting up your garden ? +Well , first I need to buy some things , such as fertilizer , seeds and tools . +What type of tools ? +You know , the basics . A rake , shovel , spade and a hoe . +Right . Well it seems like you have all your bases covered . What ’ s next ? +I ’ ll till the soil and then sow the seeds . I ’ ll then add some fertilizer and voila ! Gardening all done ! +Well , good luck with your garden , especially considering we are in the dry season and it won ’ t rain for the next three months ! +Hi , my name is Ted , what's yours ? +What ? +I said , I'm Ted , who are you ? +Huh ? Oh , my name is Laura . +Do you come here often , Laura ? +Huh ? I can't hear you , the music's too loud . +Let's go outside and talk . So Laura , do you come here often ? +Hold on , my ears are still ringing from the music ... what was it you asked me ? +I asked if you come here often . +Sometimes , usually once every few weeks . Do you ? +No , this is my first time here . +I usually come with a group of friends . We dance a little , have a few drinks , and just have a good time . +Yeah , that's why I'm here . My friends dragged me here , because they think I spend too much time studying . +That's good . It's good to hit the books , but you need to get out once in a while . +I guess so . But the music is too loud . I don't mind getting out and meeting people , but next time I'll do it in a park . +May I speak to Peter ? +Who's calling ? +Have you every belonged to a political party ? +No , I haven ’ t , but I thought about joining the green party . +Really ? I know you are very concerned about the environment . You were a member of the pressure group Greenpeace , weren ’ t you ? +Yes . I was . But I didn ’ t have enough time to devote to it . +The green party have no chance of winning an election . The other parties are too big and popular . +You ’ re right . But smaller political and pressure groups can often influence large political parties . Any member of parliament can propose legislation and parties and pressure groups can raise awareness +Most people are not very politically aware . They often don ’ t understand the issues fully . +That ’ s true . But it ’ s a little strange because the media often reports on political events . You can read about them in newspaper or hear them on tv . +Excuse me ! +Yes ? +Is this your handbag ? +Pardon ? +Is this your handbag ? +Yes , it is . Thank you very much . +Look , George , There's the Great Wall . +I see . It's on top of the hills . +Yeah , it stretches over for thousands of miles . +I know . It's a major symbol of China . +Where can we climb it ? +Do we have any choices ? +Well , we could take the cable car . +Ah ... let's just climb . It's more fun , I think . +Okay . Let's go . +Well , that was tough . +But we made it . +This looks great . When was it built ? +It was first built about twenty-five hundred years ago . +That's remarkable . +There are so many ancient relics in China . +Would you like to go sightseeing tomorrow ? +Not a bad idea ! +What would you like to see in Beijing ? +Well , let's see . I'd like to go to the Summer Palace . +I'll pick you up here tomorrow . +Mary , come here . I've found the book our teacher recommended us to buy last week . +Really ? How much is it ? Oh , it's 42 yuan ! How expensive ! +You know , it is the best seller for this year . It has had its fifth impression since its publication early this year . +How come ? I have never seen such a popular book before . +Wait a minute . I found there were two printings . The paperback books must be much cheaper . +You are right . Let's buy the cheaper one . +Hello , this is Than Hua's office . Can I help you ? +Hello , could I speak to the export manager , please ? +Speaking . +This is Joey from Mary trading company . I learned that you are the leading export of cloth by Hummed company . +That's right . What can I do for you ? +We are interested in cloth made in China . The clothes are sold very well here . We are a big location supplier for the northeast market here . I'm thinking that we'll have some business opportunities . +Would you like me to show you our new cleaning unit ? It's a clever design . +Yes , I'd like to see that . What does it clean exactly ? +It washes the solvent off all the metal parts - the blades , trays etc . - and then sends it back into the system . +What does the unit consist of ? +Well , it's basically two tanks – one for the dirty solvent and one for the clean solvent , a pump and a washing unit . Oh , and there ’ s a cooling system and a filter . It's all controlled by a PLC system – that stands for Process Logic Control . +I hear you jog everyday . +I'm doing it for fun and fitness . +I think maybe one day you can take part in the walking race . +At the age of 64 ? You're kidding ! +Hey , John ! I haven ’ t seen you in ages ! What ’ s new ? What have you been up to ? +Pete ! Nice to see you Well , on top the norm , you know , wife and kids and work , I ’ Ve actually gotten into doing some trading . +Trading ? You , big guy ? What are you trading ? +Currencies . +Currencies ? As in Euros , Dollars , Pounds and Rupees ? +It ’ s called Forex . Foreign Exchange . The great thing about it is that I don ’ t have to invest a huge amount . I put in a margin deposit and then I can buy and sell up to 100 times that much ! +I don ’ t understand . You ’ re buying and selling money ? +You got it ! Just last night I made USD 150 ! +Last night ? +Yeah ! It ’ s a 24 hour market ! I had bought some RIB earlier at a low asking price but last night it appreciated drastically so I made a split second decision and sold all my RIB at an amazing bid ! I ’ +You ’ re kidding ! I ’ m on ! Where do I sign up ? +I would like to discuss purchasing a home with you . +I can help you . What location are you looking for ? +I would like to live in Pasadena or Arcadia . +Have you thought about what your needs are in terms of size ? +We would like a smaller cozy cottage with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom . +Is living in a particular school district important to you ? +No , we don ’ t really care because they are all pretty good around here . +Are you interested in purchasing on the lake , or would you like a home with a view ? +We really want to live in a lakeside home with a dock for our boat . +Now that I have an idea of what you want , I can begin my search . +Look over there . That is what I am looking for . Let's go ! +I want to see you play . Be quick ! +Don ’ t chicken out ! Come on ! +Mike , shall we book two tickets online ? +Fine . Shanghai and Beijing are thousands of miles away . How about bullet train ? Faster and relatively cheap , I think . +Yeah . How many tickets remain ? +Oh , what a shame . Only sleeping cars have tickets . Others are all out of stock . The price of the sleeping car is almost the same as the airplane.You see , the discount plane tickets are no more than 500 yuan . A good deal , isn't it ? +Brilliant idea ! That will make our journey rewarding and much safer . +Hello , thanks for calling 123 Tech Help , I ’ m Todd . How can I help you ? +Hello ?

I see the equalizer has a good selection of settings . +You can also play Ccds on it if you hook it up to your TV . +Hmm . This system seems to have everything I'm looking for . It's a bit pricey , though . I'll have to think about it . Thanks for your help . +No problem . Hope to see you again soon . +Why do you think you are qualified for this position ? +I have four years study in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and it has given me a solid theory foundation .

Maybe I can help you . +Tom wants me to write a recommendation letter for him , but I don't know how to write it . +Don't worry . I know about this . +Really ? Tell me without delay . +First you should have a salutation , which can be the company's or a person's name . +Well , I see . +Then you can write about his performance in college , including his academic achievements and his competence . +It's easy to write those . +You can also state his personality traits , hobbies and relationships with schoolmates and so on . +Tom got along well with classmates . He is really a good boy . +You can write all his strengths in the recommendation letter . +What should I write except these ? +You should also state that you are his class president , so you are qualified to write this recommendation letter +OK , I will remember . +Do you feel all right ? +Yes , thank you . I just want to have a smoke . Can I smoke in the aisle ? +I am sorry . It's not allowed . If you do want , please go to the smoking section . It's in the back part of the plane . +OK . That's fine . +What ’ s wrong with you ? Why are you scratching so much ? +I feel itchy ! I can ’ t stand it anymore ! I think I may be coming down with something . I feel lightheaded and weak . +Let me have a look . Whoa ! Get away from me ! +What ’ s wrong ? +I think you have chicken pox ! You are contagious ! Get away ! Don ’ t breathe on me ! +Maybe it ’ s just a rash or an allergy ! We can ’ t be sure until I see a doctor . +Well in the meantime you are a biohazard ! I didn ’ t get it when I was a kid and I ’ Ve heard that you can even die if you get it as an adult ! +Are you serious ? You always blow things out of proportion . In any case , I think I ’ ll go take an oatmeal bath . +Hello , is Marie Ward there , please ? +I'll see if she is in . +Ok . +I'm afraid she's out . +Can you give her a message , please ? +Yes , of course . +Please tell her to give Colin a call when she gets back . She has my number . +Sure . +Thank you for your help . +It's my pleasure . +Are you going to vote ? +I am . Are you ? +Yes , and for the first time . +Is that right ? +I don ’ t know how to vote . +Voting isn ’ t difficult . +I ’ m not sure what laws are being voted on . +They tell you everything on the ballot . +They do ? +You ’ ll be okay . +Thanks for telling me . +You should be excited about your first vote . +What would be the earliest that I could actually move into my new house ? +The keys will be turned in on Tuesday night . The house will be yours at that time . +What should we do to make sure that we have the electricity and water turned on ? +You can tell the utility company what day you are moving in , and they will transfer the utilities to your name . +There are a few things that we want to do to the place , like painting and carpet cleaning . +Take advantage of the house being empty to clean and paint . It will be harder to do after the furniture and appliances have arrived . +I asked the store to deliver my new appliances on the day we are moving in . +That will be good . You are going to want your stove and refrigerator right away . +I could use some help on moving day . What are you doing on Saturday ? +I think I am getting a fever and will be too sick to help you . Here , feel how hot my head is ! +Mrs . Lin . Please hold all of my calls for the next hour . +OK , but do you want to talk to your wife if she calls ? +Yes , I'll talk to her . +All right . +May I help you , sir ? +Yes , please . I'd like to buy a gift for my younger brother . He's going to take a trip to South America . +By air or by sea ? +By air . So my gift should be quite light . What can you suggest ? +How about this wallet ? It's made of fine leather . +My sister already gave him one . I like something unusual . +This gift is the best for a man who has everything . +Oh , a nice handkerchief . That's a great idea . I'll take it . +Excuse me , miss . I'm a transit passenger for Flight No . 207 . Can you tell me where to go ? +Let me see . Your plane leaves from Gate 12 . You should go to Gate 12 to board your plane +Where's Gate 12 ? +Take the escalator over there and turn left , you'll see the sign . +Thank you very much . +Do you like cooking ? +I love it . I really enjoy creating a meal from various ingredients and watching my friends enjoy it . It gives me a real sense of satisfaction . Do you enjoy cooking ? +I don ’ t like it . It takes up too much time and I really hate having to clean up after the meal . I can ’ t stand doing the washing up , drying up , and putting all the dishes and cutlery away . +You can ask the guests to help . My guests usually insist on doing the washing up . I just have to remind them where everything goes . +So , what kind of dishes do you usually make ? I know you like Italian food . +Italian , Indian , and Chinese . I ’ Ve only recently started cooking Chinese meals and I need some more practice . +Do you find it hard to get ingredients for Chinese food ? +Not at all . You can find most of them at supermarket . The ingredients are usually the same as in western food . The way that the food is prepared is the big difference , not the ingredients . +How long does it take you to cook a meal for five or six people ? +Obviously , it depends on what I'm cooking , but I'd say it generally takes about one and a half hours . +Can I help you , sir ? +Uh , yes . I'm going to the States and I need some traveler's checks . +All right . How much do you need ? +One thousand U . S . dollars . +One thousand U . S . Mm hmm .

And what amounts do you want the checks in ? +Mm . In hundreds , please . +Do you take in students ?

Y'll looking ’ fine tonight . May I have this dance ? +He's cute ! He looks like Tiger Woods ! But , I can't dance ... +It's all good . I'll show you all the right moves . My name's Malik . +Nice to meet you . I'm Wen , and this is Nikki . +How you feeling ’ , vista ? Mind if I take your friend ' round the dance floor ? +She doesn't mind if you don't mind getting your feet stepped on . +Right . Cool ! Let's go ! +I really don ’ t know how to teach my son . He's getting far above himself . +You should send him to the boarding school . He need a strict teacher . +Maybe you are right . I will discuss it with my wife tonight . +Hello , madam . Would you like to take a look at our products ? They are high-tech items . +Hmm , they look interesting . Can I have a copy of your brochure ? +Sure . Do you have a minute ? Why don't you have a seat and let me show you how to operate this item ? +OK . Go ahead . +You see , if you press this red button , the helmet becomes an umbrella . +How amazing ! I have never seen it before . Is it expensive ? +It only costs you 20 dollars for one . +OK , I will take one . +Hi , Mark ! Hi , do you have a minute ? +Oh , I'm sorry , Nigel . I'm rushing to a meet right now . +Sure , no problem . Can we fix a time to talk later ? +Sure , but this week is crazy for me . Can we make it next Monday ? +Ok , see you 10 o'clock next Monday ! +That's fine . See you then . +What's for dinner tonight ? +What are you planning on cooking ? +I'm not making anything . +If you plan on eating , you are . +What am I supposed to cook ? +What do you feel like having ? +I want some chicken and potatoes . +That sounds really good . +When are you going to make it ? +I have no plans on cooking tonight . +Fine , I'll make it . +I knew that already . +Cindy , can you show me how to call Connecticut ? +Who do you know there ? +A good friend of mine is there on a homestay program , too . +I see . +Is it expensive to make out-of-state calls ? +Yeah , but it isn't more expensive than international calls . +What do I do here ? +Easy . Dial the area code for Connecticut ; then dial your friend's number . +That's it ? +Check the local time before you call . You don't want to wake your friend up by accident . +I'd like to reserve a table for three this evening . +Just a moment , sir . Let me check the reservation list . Sorry , I'm afraid we're fully booked tonight . Would you like to make a reservation some other time ? +Do you have pot service at noon ? +Yes , the same service and food as in the evening . +OK , we'll come at half past eleven tomorrow . +OK . Your name , please ? +Black . +Good . Thank you very much . +This is how you turn on the computer . +I see . +Which university did you graduate from ? +I graduated from Peking University . +What was your major at university ? +I studied economics , I am especially interested in the economic development of China . +What course did you like best ? +I like Business Management , and i think it's very useful for the present work . +What do you think is the relationship between the subjects you've taken and the job you are seeking ? +I've taken courses on office administration , reports and correspondence writing . I think all these are closely related to the job of assistant manager , because it requires the ability to perform general office work and to assist the manager in handling all paperwork . +I am an eloquent speaker in the classroom . But when I face a stranger outside , I get tongue-tied and nothing comes out . +You should pay close attention to your manner of speaking . Speech is a reflection of personality , you know . You should reflect confidence by speaking in a low voice , loud enough to be heard without being aggressive or overpowering . +I will go out of my way to catch the attention of the interviewer . +Your speech should not call attention to itself , but should reveal your individuality and ability . +I ’ m very shy . I think I might shake in my boots at the moment I meet the interviewer . +You ’ d better overcome your nervousness . it is considered an indication that you lack self-confidence . +Another problem is that I dare not look into their eyes whenever I meet strangers , especially foreigners . +In China , it is impolite to look into the senior speakers eyes while speaking . But in Western countries it is the opposite . Eye contact gives a strong feeling of sincerity . Looking downwards or sideways shows that you are either insincere or absent-minded . +Is there anything else that I should pay attention to in an interview ? +Yes . Don ’ t eat onions or garlic before you come . If you do you ’ ll have bad breath . +I ’ ll remember to bring gum with me . +You should never chew gum or smoke during an interview , even if you are allowed to do so . +I remember now . Your advice is very helpful . +Good afternoon , ABC Incorporated . How many I direct your call ? +I would like to speak to Mr . Miles . +I am sorry , sir . He isn't in right now . Would you like to leave a message ? +Yes . Can you tell him Bob White called ? +And your company name , please . +He knows who I am . +Is there a telephone number where you can be reached ? +I can be reached at 544-879-9087 until 5 p . m . today . +Thank you , sir . I'll tell him you called . +Thank you . +Do you see that small white car over there ? It ’ s Tom ’ s new car . +Oh , my God . It ’ s beautiful . But it looks expensive . +It is very expensive . Tom ’ s father paid for it . +I want to have a car like that . But I am not rich . And I don ’ t have a rich daddy . +They are By new models now , they are not very expensive . Maybe you should look for one . +Good afternoon . I suppose you are Ms . Monica . My name is Mr . Thomas , the general manager of ABC Company . Here is my business card . +Thank you very much . +I am very impressed by your resume . Therefore , I am very interested to know why you ’ re willing to leave your current company . +I am looking for a more challenging position . I can ’ t grow anymore in my current job . +Ok , I understand . But why you choose us to work for ? +I have studied carefully the information about your company on the internet and I have checked your company ’ s homepage . I am impressed by the company . And I like the products a lot . Since you ’ re growing steadily , I would be very eager to help you to improve your accounting system . +How do you work with a team ? +I work quite well with a team . I ’ m a good team player . I respect people , cooperate well with member ’ s team . And I will do my best to help team members . +What ’ s your long term goal ? +I ’ d like to bring to ABC Company not only my technical skills , ambition , enthusiasm , but also my loyalty , a sensor desire to become an administrative assistant . It is the hardest of my career plans . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +I want a shirt . +What about this one ? It sells like hot cakes . +Well , do you have the same in black ? +Yes , I will get you one . +Excuse me , sir , your steamed crabs is coming . +It looks delicious . Can you tell me how to enjoy it ? It's my first time to eat it . +Mix a little soya sauce , vinegar and sliced ginger on this plate and dip the meat in it before eating . +Thanks a lot . +Excuse me , do the buses stop here ? +Yes , they all stop at this corner . +I want to go to Broadway and 82nd Street . Can I take any bus that comes along ? +You can take any bus except the Number 9 . +How often do the buses run ? +They run about every five minutes . +Fine . How long does it take to get to 82nd Street ? +About fifteen minutes . It's not far . Are you a stranger in New York ? +Yes , I am . I arrived only three days ago from Japan . +How do you like New York city ? +I like it very much , but it's a little confusing to me . +You'll soon get accustomed to it . It's not difficult . Well , here's the bus . Fortunately , it's not full . +Thank you for the information . +Don't mention it . +How is the project going ? +Well , frankly speaking , I am running a little behind . It's 40 % done . +Do you have any problem during the process ? You should speed things up . +I have little chance to communicate with colleagues when I have problems . They are always too busy to help a green hand like me . +Have you ever helped others when they are in trouble ? Most will give a hand to someone who has helped him . +I did . But I am so depressed because there is nobody that will help me . +And you should have good co-operation with other colleagues , you know a scientific schedule brings efficiency to the work . +I see your point , but I seem to be on bad terms with them . +Cheer up and pay more attention to your colleagues and the things will be much better . I am speaking from my experience . +Thank you so much . +And you should read as much as possible to enrich the knowledge . +That's a good idea . I can learn many useful things from books . +We're approaching the critical point for success or failure of this project . you'd better speed up and catch up with books . +Well , I will do it better . +If you have any problem in your work , let me know . +Thanks very much . I promise I will work harder . +Mr . Thomas is making a long-distance call . Please wait for a few minutes . +Would you like some coffee or tea ? +Coffee would be fine . +How would you like your coffee ? +I like it black . +Coffee will be right with you . +Good afternoon , can I help you ? +Good afternoon . I need some stamps and envelopes . +How many and what kind ? +A dozen 30 - cent stamps and 6 envelopes . +Anything else ? +That ’ s all . How much altogether ? +$ 16 . 50 . +Thank you very much . +You are welcome . +Do you like travelling ? +Yes , I do . +Do you usually travel by bus ? +No , by train . I think it's much safer than bus . +are you ready for your first driving lesson ? +yes . Which one is the brake again ? +the pedal on your left is the brake and the one on your right is the gas . +I ’ m glad this car is an automatic . I don't like having to change gears . +automatics are very simple to drive . The first thing you should do is put your seat belt on . +you should also put yours on . you never know what will happen with me in the driver ’ s seat ! +very funny . Next you should check your side mirrors and your rear view mirror . Can you see out of them ? +I can ’ t see anything out of the side mirror on your side of the car . Could you move it forward a bit , please ? +how ’ s that ? +that ’ s better . Now what ? +check your petrol situation . +the tank is almost empty . I guess I ’ ll drive to the petrol station to fill it up . +that ’ s a good idea . Put your keys in the ignition , start it up , put the car in reserve , wait for the road to be clear , and then back out of the driveway . +I got it . Don ’ t worry . I ’ ll get you there in one piece . +remember , no honking this time . The horn is only for emergencies ! +why does that cop car behind me have its red lights on ? +You look like in perfect condition . +I go to the gym every day to keep fit . +Which sports do you participate in ? +I've been doing yoga for a long time . +Can you tell me something about yoga ? +Yoga is used to promote people's physical , intellectual and mental harmony and healthy . +How do you feel when you practice yoga ? +Oh , I feel really tired and sweat a lot . +But it will help you keep fit . +Sure . But more importantly , I can have peace of mind . +Excuse me , sir.Is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes , I think so . I have just checked out . But I left my book in the room . Can I get it back ? +Is it this one ? +Yes , thank you very much . +You are welcome . Looking forward to seeing you again . +Good afternoon . What can I do for you ? +I booked a room here . +Your name , please ? +Brown , Jason Brown . +Wait for a minute , Mr . Brown , a single room with bath from today to the fifteenth . +That's right +Would you like to register now ? +Yes . +Could you fill out this registration form , please ? +OK . Is this all right ? +Yes . Thank you . May I see your passport , please ? +Here you are . +Thank you . Will you be paying in cash or by credit card ? +In cash . +Your room number is 210 . The bellboy will show you the way there . I hope you enjoy your stay . +Thanks . +Here is your spicy diced chicken with peanuts , sir . +Thank you . It looks very attractive . +I would advise you to enjoy the dish while it is hot . +Tasty and tender ! It must be one of the famous local dishes . +Yes . It's a traditional dish . +And it must be very particular in cooking . +You are right , sir . To prepare it , a Sichuan food chef first fries some chilli until they turn reddish brown , and then puts diced chicken breast meat into the pot with other condiments and peanuts . That's why the dish has a bright colour . +I see . +Enjoy yourself , sir . +Wow , the ferris wheel over there is so big . I'd like to take a ride on it . +It is called Energy Collector . +Look at your right-hand . Is it the zone of the Lost Maya Kingdom ? +Maybe . Oh . I see the Jungle Flying Train . I once rode it.It was very exciting . +I want to have a try later . +Me , too . Daniel , look at your left side . Can you see the Air Force Ants ? +Wow , that's my favorite . It's like a superman shooting right up into the sky . +Good , you can make your dream come true here . +Of course . After this , I want to show you to the Haunted House . +So you can prove you are a man . +Bingo ! +It's just you ! +morning , Mr . Montgomery . I ’ Ve been sent over from purchasing to fill in for Clare Williams . +Oh , really ? Nice to meet you . I thought they were going to leave me here on my own ! How long have you been with the company ? +Oh , about seven years . Time flies , you know ! +Does it ever ! Well , let ’ s get started . If you could begin typing this letter now , I ’ ll see what else needs to be done . +Hello , Pauline ’ s Furniture Store , Faye speaking . How may I help you ? +Hello , I ordered a dining table last week . The order arrived today , but there are several scratches on the surface of the table . I would like to exchange it . +I ’ m terribly sorry about that . We could take it back and deliver a new one to you early next week . Would that suit you ? +Well , I'm hosting a dinner party this weekend . Couldn ’ t you make it any sooner ? +Please hold on , I'll just check with the delivery department . +OK , thank you . +How are you ? +No so good . I broke traffic regulations yesterday and I got a ticket . +Could you tell me how you dealt with it this time ? +Certainly , as long as you don't tell my wife . +Hey , look out ! +What happened ? +You've just scratched my car . Oh , God , a paint was scratched off . +Where ? my car ? +No , mine ! +Thank goodness ! +I've just had it repainted . +That's terrible . +I am sorry to say this , sir , but you should've been more careful . +I apologize for that . But the space is too small . +What about the damage to my car ? What are you gonna do about that ? +Can we solve this later ? I am calling the insurance company . +OK . I gotta call mine too . +Should I tell EDD that I have found a job ? +Is this a temporary job or something more permanent ? +What difference does it make ? +When you get your next Continued Claim Form , you should just write down where you worked and note that you no longer need unemployment . +If I take a short job and then get laid off , will I be starting over trying to get unemployment ? +Just because you work for a week doesn ’ t mean that you will be losing your benefits . +Excuse me , This bus goes down town , doesn ’ t it ? +Yes , where do you want to go ? +The worker stadium . +This is the right bus . +Do you let me know where to get off ? +Certainly . Four more stops after this . I ’ ll call out the stops . +Thank you . +What can I help you with today ? +My washing machine isn't working . +What's the problem ? +The water will not drain . +Is there anything else wrong with it ? +No , that's it . +I can come down and fix that for you if you'd like . +When will you be able to fix it ? +How does this afternoon at 2 thirty sound to you ? +That would be perfect . +Alright , so I'll see you then ? +See you then . +We would like you to stop by again so we can show you some more problems that have come up with our apartment . +I am kind of busy right now , but maybe later next week I could stop by . +We sent you an e-mail the first week we moved in ; it listed the problems we found . +What problems did you find ? +The roof leaks when it rains , there is mold on the bedroom walls , and the dishwasher doesn ’ t work . +I don ’ t really consider any of that to be my responsibility . You can fix those things yourself . +Maintaining basic health and safety standards is your responsibility . +I am maintaining the building . You are way too picky ! +Unfortunately , you won ’ t be getting a rent check unless these problems are fixed by Friday . +You wouldn ’ t dare do that ! +Which school is your children in ? +She is now in a private school . +Oh , it costs too much . It's more expensive than the public school . +It's idea of my husband . He is always banging the drum for better schools . +But the private school don't amount to better schools . +Mr . Wang , I want to apologize for being late again this morning . I just can't get up in time for work . +So it seems . And what are you going to do about that ? +I guess I'll have to buy a new alarm clock . +Well , you know how important a clean house is to your grandma . +Yes , I hear about it every time she comes here . +She was the head janitor at St . Mary's Hospital for thirty years , after all . +I think she misses that job and wants to take it out on us . +You know , maybe she's just a neat freak . +I think she just likes to make us miserable . +You could be right . +Good morning , Mr . Montgomery . I've been sent over from purchasing to fill in for Clare Williams . +Oh , really ? Nice to meet you . I thought they were going to leave me here on my own ! How long have you been with the company ? +Oh , about seven years . Time flies , you know ! +Does it ever ! Well , let's get started . If you could begin typing this letter now , I'll see what else needs to be done . +Let's take a break . +Good idea . How about a cup of coffee ? +Sounds good . +Hello , is that Mason's builders ? +Yes , can we help you ? +We have a problem with our roof . Can you come and have a look ? +What sort of problem ? +We have water coming through . It was raining yesterday and this morning we noticed a wet patch on our ceiling . +Is the wet patch just in one place ? +Yes , it seems to be just in the living room , above the window . +Did you look in the attic ? +No , sorry , we didn't . +Is there easy access to the attic ? We'd better look since there may be some flooding there as well . +Yes , we have a hatch with a ladder . +OK , we can come early this afternoon . Is anyone going to be at home ? +Yes , my wife will be there . +Right , we have an urgent job this morning but we should finish around lunch time . We will then come straight over to your house . +That's great . Thank you very much . +The kitchen stinks . +I'll throw out the garbage . +I guess I'm just a little nervous . I'm giving everything I have to invoking , and ... +and what if it doesn't work out , right ? +Exactly . +You need to quit thinking like a loser . invoking is going to kick butt . You know how I know ? +How ? +Because I won't let it fail . +But what about tomorrow ? What if Stars.com decides to go with WebTracker , and not us ? +Mary , besides the resume , I think we should also write an application letter . +I think so , but how should we write it ? +I think we should begin the letter with a salutation , and the salutation must be very formal . +Yes , it should be so . Then we should write the body and in the body we should mention the place where we saw the job advertisement . +We should say we are very interested in that job , and we hope to get that job . +We should write our skills and let the company know we are competent for the job . +For example , I have mastered Business English very well , and I also know a little Spanish . +Oh , you have recommended yourself very well . I should think about how to recommend myself as well . +You can say you have had a firm grasp of the professional knowledge , and you can communicate with others proficiently in English . +Yes . At the end , we should conclude the letter with greetings . +Let's write it at once . +I understand we will need seven air conditioning units on the two floors.That ' s what you think , yes ? +Yes . You could use five or six units.But five or six wouldn't be very efficient . I recommend seven . +And if we take the Decker units you suggested , what would the price be ? +Let me calculate the price for you . I can give you a 15 % discount if you buy the seven units.Let ' s see here . Your total would be 5929 dollars . +Isn't there any way we can get central air conditioning in this building ? +As I said , it is possible , but it would be much more expensive . I think it would be at least 12000 dollars to do a complete system . +That's too much . We need to use the separate units , I guess . +It's more practical , and the new units really are very quiet.Your customers won't even notice them . +So you say we can do it for 6000 dollars . +Yes , that's for the units.Installation would probably be another 700 to 1000 dollars.But it depends on the time spent , of course . +You mean installation isn't included ? I'm very surprised . +No , Ma'am . Installation isn't included.The price I quoted was just for the units . +In Taipei , you know , the company usually installs the things they sell.They don't charge extra . +I know that , Ma'am . But they would just raise the price of the units to cover their costs.Here in L . A . , installation is charged separately . +Yes , I suppose I should get used to it.But I'm not really willing to spend more than 6000 dollars for this.We haven't even opened yet . +I understand , Ma'am . +And the other company that gave me a quote on this said they could do it for 4000 dollars . +It's a question of quality , Ma'am . At that price , you would not get good equipment . I've been in this business for almost twenty years . I know what happens.If you don't get quality air conditioning now , you will just have to replace the system after two years . +I will tell you what I can agree to.If you can quote me a price of 6000 dollars , installation included , I can accept . +Well . +You do seem like a better company than the other one.So I am willing to pay more than 4000 for you . But I won't pay more than 6000 . +Well , we don't usually do it , but ... I believe we can accommodate you on this.We will do the installation for free . Because we appreciate your business . +Good . I hope we can arrange the contract as soon as possible . +I am calling to say thank you for the interview yesterday . +You are welcome . I am very impressed by your capability . +Is there anything I should do ? +No , nothing . It's thoughtful of you to call me again . +Thank you . Please call me at any time if you have any questions . +OK , I will . +When you need an apartment , where do you look for one ? +Our school has a link on its website for apartments . +Can I share an apartment with someone ? +Some of the ads in the paper are from people looking for roommates . +Are apartments expensive in this city ? +Do you need a single apartment , or is this for two people ? +I want a two-bedroom apartment . +You can get that type of apartment for around fifteen hundred dollars a month . +Would you have time to go look at apartments with me ? +I love apartment hunting . I ’ ll be happy to go with you . +Hi , still in the office ? It ’ s already 7 . +I would like to go but I have to finish a very important presentation . Our boss needs it for tomorrow ’ s morning meeting and I was given the complete information only late this afternoon . +Sounds like our boss . Typically him always late with important information . Anything I can help ? +Oh , that will be great . Thank you so much . Please help me to double-check the name list . I have to make sure they are all correct . +Ok , shall I make a coffee first ? +Not for me . It is already late . I can not fall asleep after drinking coffee this late . +Hello . Welcome ! +Hello . I'd like to have my nails manicured . +This way please . We offer multiple manicure services here . Do you want a full service ? +I don't need the full service . +But the full service will make your nails look much prettier and it is on discount now . +No , thanks . All I need is painting and polishing . +OK . Please sit down . I hope you will be satisfied with our service . +Thanks very much . +Hello . Good morning , Stately Restaurant . May I help you ? +I would like to book a table for seven thirty o'clock , please . +Fine , sir . For how many people , please ? +For four people . We'd like a quiet table with a fine view of the river . +OK . What name , please ? +This is Peter Kaufman . +Can you spell that , please ? +Peter Kaufman , P-E-T-E-R ( Peter ) , K-A-U-F-M-A-N ( Kaufman ) . +Oh , thanks , Mr . Kaufman . We look forward to your visit . +Bye-bye . +Have you been coming to this Laundromat long ? +I have been washing clothes here since a few years ago . +Why is that ? +It doesn't cost me as much to wash here . +I've just started doing my clothes here . +Why are you washing your clothes here now ? +My washing machine broke down . +You should just pay someone to fix it . +It's too expensive to get it fixed . +So you're just going to wash here ? +Yeah , I think that's what I'm going to have to do . +It costs less to wash here . +Julia , look at me ! I'm gaining weight . How could I lose weight ? Do you have any good ideas ? +Since summer is coming , I think swimming is a good way for you to do . +Are you sure ? +Of course ! Swimming can help you stay in shape by targeting all parts of your body . +Really ? Does swimming have other advantages ? +It could also help you increase vital capacity . +That ’ s great . Okay , from now on I would swim three times a week . I hope I can get rid of the weight . +You will make it if you persist in it . +I am waiting for a fax but just now I found there ’ s something wrong with the fax machine . +What ’ s wrong with the fax machine ? Is it urgent ? +Yes , very urgent . And there is no other fax machine around . And the office of our boss is closed , so I can not use his machine either . And his secretary is out . Do you have any suggestion ? +Either call this extension number 0085 or ask them to send the fax to you as e-mail , you print it out . +Gucci , you look serious . I wish you ’ d let your hair down . +Really ? OK , I will try my best to be relaxed . +I don ’ t want you to be worried , but our son has some bad habits now . He says painful words everyday . +What words ? Can you tell me ? +He says kick mommy , beat mommy , don ’ t want mommy very quickly if I do something that he doesn ’ t like . You know , if I wash his face or change his clothes , things like that . +Honey , I don ’ t know what to tell you . Of course Tony is a young child . But do not underestimate his ability to learn and reason . +Yes , but sometimes he is just not reasonable . +I suggest you treat him with patience , affection , and respect . If he needs to do something , like go to bed , or be washed , etc . , please guide or help him to get it done , but lead him with gentleness . +It ’ s easy to say , but I will try . +Motivate Tony to cooperate by rewarding his good behavior . Do not emphasize punishment for bad moods , etc . Do not threaten him with punishment if he resists the actions you desire . +I know my parents sometimes threaten to punish him . But this doesn ’ t work , instead he picks up another bad habit . +Good morning , Madam . What can I do for you ? +I need to have some money transferred from the UK , from my company . It's kind of an emergency . +That shouldn't be a problem , Madam . I'm sure we can sort this out for you quickly . +That would be wonderful . The problem is I don't have an account with you . That is a problem , isn't it ? +Well , to be honest , it will slow things down a little . But it's not a big problem . You can do it by T / T . +T / T ? What on earth is that ! ? Sorry , but I've never heard of it . T / T ? +It means ' telegraphic transfer ' . So , if you use this way it's fast and secure and can be done from anywhere , to anywhere in the world . +White Rose Restaurant . Good afternoon ! Can I help you ? +Yes , I would like to book a table for six for the next Monday . +Certainly , sir . At what time should we expect you ? +At 6:30 on next Monday evening . +And what is it going to be , Chinese food or Western food ? +Chinese food . +May I have your name , sir , please ? +Please book it under the name of Mr . Peter . +So it's Mr . Peter , a table for six for the evening of the next Monday . It is Chinese food and you are coming at 6:30 . +That's right . +Thank you for calling us . We'll be expecting you next Monday . +How much for these autographed Elvis records ? +Thirty bucks a record . Or five for one hundred and twenty bucks . +Uh , I'm not sure . Are these all in good condition ? +Absolutely . I bought them from the King's estate myself ! Tell you what-I'll let you have five for one hundred bucks . +I don't really need five . +OK . Five for eighty-five bucks . That's my final offer . +Oh , why not ? I'll take ' em . +My watch always gains ten minutes a day . +That's funny . My watch always loses ten minutes a day . +No kidding . +I am serious . Every morning I set my watch by the radio , but it still loses ten minutes . +You know what you can do ? +Throw it away and buy a new one . +No , you don't have to . You only need to put your watch back ten minutes every day . +So you put your watch back ten minutes every day ? +Yes , that's what I am doing . +Why bother ? Just buy a new watch . It doesn't cost much . Besides , I just can ’ t put up with this thing any more . +Hi , what brings you to my office today ? +I ’ Ve been getting really short of breath , and my coach wanted to have a doctor check me out . +Have you had the flu lately ? +No , I have been pretty healthy . I just have trouble taking a really deep breath . +Have you ever been tested for allergies ? +Peaches make me break out , but I don ’ t have any other allergies . +Does this happen all the time or maybe a little more in the cold weather ? +I ’ Ve noticed that it is worse when I am under stress , like during finals week . +I feel that you should see a pulmonary specialist to check for asthma . +I appreciate the referral , doctor . +How are the children doing in your class , Jane ? +They ’ re all doing fine . Let me show you some of their pictures . +Which child is this ? +That ’ s Charles . +What a large child ! +All my children are large . +And which child is this ? +That ’ s James . +What an agile child ! +All my children are agile . +Now which child is this ? +That ’ s Joanna .

Thank you for choosing our hotel again , sir . +Thank you , goodbye . +Goodbye . +Could I ask you where the company is ? +Sure . Our company is in Ericsson Tower , No . 12 Like East Street , Chaoyang District . +Can I get there by the No . 913 bus ? +You can make it by the No . 913 bus , or by subway Line 13 . +Have you heard about John ’ s obscene words towards the manager ? +Yes , but he should bush it off as if it were not a big deal to him . +Can you help me find a pan ? +Are you looking for a small , medium , or large pan ? +I want a big pan . +Does this one look big enough ? +Yes , it's the right size , but it weighs too much . +Well , what do you think of the aluminum pan ? +It's light enough , but the handle will get too hot after cooking . +Here's the same pan , but it has a space-age , heat-resistant plastic handle . +Oh , my family's going to love this one . I'll take it . +I'm so happy that you found what you wanted . Do you want to use a credit card ? +Sure . Wait , wait . Does a lid come with this pan ? +Oh , I'm sorry . Here's the lid . Yes , it comes with the pan . +May I see your airplane ticket , passport and health certificate please ? +Here you are . +Will you please put all your luggage on the scale ? +I want to check these three pieces and I'll carry this overnight bag by myself . +Sir , your bags are 30 pounds over weight . You are allowed only 45 pounds of baggage . +Well , then , how much do I owe you ? +That comes to H . K . $ 120 . +Would you like to order anything else ? +No , I'm good . All we need now is our check . +The waitress is walking over here with our check even as we speak . +I have never had bad service at this restaurant , but this time was really exceptional . +Yes , she really went out of her way to make this a pleasant dining experience . +Let's take a look at our bill . The total price for our dinner is $ 36.00 . +How much money should we leave for a tip ? +I know that 15 % is a normal tip , but I really thought that this waitress went out of her way for us . What do you think about tipping her 20 % ? +She definitely deserves 20 % for a tip . +So we can add her tip of $ 7.20 to the bill of $ 36.00 and the total will be $ 43.20 . +Yes , what a wonderful meal ! +It absolutely was a great meal . We'll have to return here for lunch sometime . +Hello , can I help you ? +Yes . I ’ m looking for something to wear to a formal party . +What dress size do you wear ? +Medium , a woman ’ s size 10 or 12 . +This dress is the latest fashion form Paris . It ’ s made of pure silk .

I ’ ll try it on . +How does that feel ? +It feels very good . +You look wonderful . +Okay . I ’ ll take it . Thank you very much . +You ’ re welcome . +I see an Open House sign over there , and I think we should go check it out . +I think that looks like a very nice house . Is it on our Internet listing for Open Houses ? +Yes , I see it listed on the printout we got off of the Internet . +I love the beautiful lawn . What a great front entryway ! +We need to make sure to put our names in the registry so the realtor knows we were here . +That works for me . We can check out the kitchen next . +On such a hot day , it is thoughtful to have water out for potential buyers . +Check out the flyer with all of the home ’ s information on it . +What is the price of this house in the flyer ? +They have changed the asking price since it first went on the market . It is now two hundred and twenty-five thousand . +Would you like to have a piece of cake ? +No , thank you . I'm on a diet . +Why ? You're not fat . +I'm considering entering for the beauty contest this summer , so I must have a slender figure . +Women of all shapes would be beautiful if they are self-confident . +I'm afraid the judges do not think so . All the beauty contests are for slim girls only . +Well . There's a beauty contest in Thailand just for fat beauties . +How much do they weigh ? +All the beauties who entered the contest were over 80kg . +But I'm not fat enough to enter that contest . +Honey , have you all packed ? +Almost ready . I am making a double check . +It is cold on the mountain . Have you packed the windshelled clothes and bodywarmers ? +Of course . And I have also packed two umbrellas just in case of raining . +You are so thoughtful . Do you think our tent will be working well ? +Of course . I just bought it last year . +What about our mobile phones and cameras ? Did you charge them last night ? +Yes , I did . Don't worry . +Good . We should tell our neighbour that they can call the police if some emergency happens to us . +Yes . You think a lot , too . +Sally , what do we have for dinner +What would you like to have ? +Well , I quit breakfast , so I had a rich brunch . I feel like having something mild for dinner +In that case , what about having some noodles ? +Noodles are fine . Or maybe I'll have some porridge . +All right . I'll cook for you . +Hi , can you tell me where I could make a copy of a document right now ? +Sir , you can come downstairs right now to the computer lab . +That's great . I don't suppose the copy machine is free for guests ? +Sir , each copy is ten cents or one dime , whichever you prefer . +In the good old days , it was only five cents a copy . I'll be right down . +Those were the good old days , sir , indeed . +We've settled price , order , payment , now I am calling to ask about package . How can we pack the goods ? +As a rule , we use cardboard boxes for outer packing . Besides , I would like to make it clear that each piece of computer will be dismantled into several parts before shipment . +Do you mean that we are responsible for putting them together ? +Yes . As you know , that's the common practice for exporting computer . This can avoid some damages on computers in the process of transportation . +I see . Why not use wooden cases ? +If you prefer wooden cases , we will provide them . But cardboard boxes are light , less expensive , and more convenient to handle in the course of packing and unpacking . +Oh , I know . Does it mean that shipment will have to be delayed if I insist on using wooden cases ? +Perhaps . That will be more complicated , if we use wooden boxes . +Then you may use cardboard boxes for outer packing so long as you can guarantee the safety of the computers . +That is guaranteed . Each box is lined with foam plastic in order to prevent damage by air , water or stress . Besides , cardboard boxes will be secured together on wood pallets by overall metal strapping . +Sounds good . +Is there anything that you are interested in ? +Yes . Is this your new product this year ? +Yes . It's a prototype of our new product . It has got more advantages than the second did . +When is the product going to be on the market ? +It will be released next month . +So soon ? It seems to be in the early stages . +We have developed new technology about it . And the new product will be a pleasure to be hold . +Well , it's sounding good ! I'm looking forward to that . +Do you have these shoes in a size 7 ? +Yes . Let me get you a pair . +Excuse me , but is this dress on sale ? +The dress was on sale yesterday . +Are you sure ? I'd be happy to pay the sale price today . +I'm so sorry , but rules are rules . +OK , I'll just check out a few other stores . +I'm sorry I couldn't help you . +Good evening . Room Service . May I help you ? +Yes . Please send one " Fried Rice , Hangzhou Style " and one " Fruit Salad " to my room . +Anything to drink , sir ? +Yes , two bottles of beer . +Is there any particular brand you like , sir ? +Carlsborg . +Yes , sir.Is there anything else you want , sir ? +No , thanks . +May I know how many of you so that I could prepare the right set of tableware ? +Yes , two of us . +Excuse me . May I know your name and room number ? +Yes , Bill Smith in Room 713 . +So , that's one " Fried Rice , Hangzhou Style " , one " Fruit Salad " and two bottles of Carlsborg beer . We'll send them to your room in 20 minutes . +Personnel . May I help you ? +Hi , could I speak to Nancy please ? +This is she . Paul ? +Yeah , it ’ s me . Can you give me a lift after work ? +Come on ! It's time to go ! +Wait a minute ! Just hold your horses ! What's your hurry , anyway ? +Well , I've got to stop and get gas in the car , first . +That won't take long . +Well , it won't if there no line at the pump . +Well , I'm not quite ready . +I'll give you five more minutes , then I'm going on without you ! +You wouldn't do a thing like that ! +Oh , yes , I would ! +Can you connect me to Mary . Smith Hotel room ? +Mrs . Smith has not checked in yet . +Can you leave a message for her to call her office ? +Yes , I'll see that she get the message when she checks in . +Dad , how can we get to the zoo ? +We can take a bus there . +Does this bus go there ? +I think so . +Let's step in , Dad . +No , it's too crowded . +Dad . Here comes another bus . +Fine . Let's get on . Oh , no , Judy ! Get off the bus quickly ! +Why ? Dad ? +We got on the wrong bus . +Come in and sit down , Jack . Now , what's the trouble ? +I've got a terrible pain in my stomach , Doctor . +I see . When did it start ? +It started yesterday . I didn't eat any supper . +Have you got a temperature ? +I think so . I feel very hot . +Let's see . Yes . You ' Ve got quite a high temperature . +I've got an awful headache , too , and my throat hurts . +Hm .. I think you ' Ve got the flu . +Is it serious ? +No , not at all , but you must stay in bed for three days and take this medicine . +How often must I take it ? +Three times a day after meals . +Thank you , Doctor . Goodbye . +I was wondering whether you could ship the tennis racket overseas to Taiwan . +I'm sorry we don't ship overseas . It's too much trouble . +I understand you don't have a history of shipping overseas , but I am willing to pay extra for shipping . +Maybe we could make an exception for you if you win the bid . +Thanks so much ! By the way , is the racket really Serena Williams ’ ? +Yes . You'll get a picture of Serena playing with the racket and a document from her . +Waitress , can I have the bill , please ? +Yes , sir . How would you like to pay the bill , sir ? +Do you accept credit cards ? +Yes , sir . But we only accept American Express , Master card and Visa . What kind do you have ? +Master card . Here you go . +Wait a moment , please . +Good morning , sir . Can I help you ? +Good morning . I want to buy a lipstick for my wife because it is her birthday today . +Do you know what color your wife often wears ? +Light pink . +Would you like this color or other colors ? +I'd like her to have a change . +Then how do you like this plum red one ? +It is nice . Is it water proof ? +Yes , sir . +Okay , I'll take it . Could you help me gift wrap it ? +Of course . +Excuse me . What should I wear if I want to go to an interview ? +You should wear a tie to go with your suit . +I am afraid I would tense up during the interview . +It doesn't matter . Just do your best to sell yourself . +Hi , is this Sue ? +Yes ? +Sue , this is Tom Lin from Allied Trust and I'm calling to offer you a position with our firm . +What position ? +Senior account rep . +How much does it pay ? +It starts at $ 30,000 . S +I'm sorry but my bottom figure is $ 36,000 . +Did you smell something ? It smells so great . +It must come from the bakery on the corner.They are baking cookies . Their cookies are very popular in town . +How come I never knew that ? Do they have a new baker or something ? +I think so . The bakery invited a famous baker from the USA . He is good at making cookies . +Let's go and get some cookies . I am hungry now . +Look at the swiss roll over there , they look delicious , too , I am thinking about buying one . +You can taste some before you buy it . They have food tasting at the counter . +I am starting loving this bakery now . +It's one of my favorite bakeries . +You should have told me earlier .

Are you kidding ? +Is there anything wrong ? +I remember Mom going with a lot of pepper for the meat . +How can I help you this afternoon ? +I want to take out some money , but there's a massive queue for the ATM so I thought I'd do it over the counter . +Unfortunately , an ATM is being refilled because it ran out of money . That's what's causing the hold up . +Oh , I see . I thought maybe it was just the time of the day , although it isn't usually busy at 2:30 in the afternoon . +You are right , you've just missed the lunchtime rush . Could you fill out a withdrawal slip , please ? +I did that already , while I was waiting . Also , here's my card . +Thank you .

That's good news for me . +You will have a six-month internship after you enter our company . During this period you can get 2,500 yuan a month , and after that you can get 3,500 yuan per month . +It sounds great ! +You can also get a bonus at the end of the year , and if you can keep working in the company , your salary will get a raise every year . +By the way , how many days do we work every week ? +Five days every week , but if it is necessary , you need to work overtime once in a while +OK , I see +I have a problem with my cable . +What about it ? +My cable has been out for the past week or so . +The cable is down right now .

Have a nice flight . +Excuse me , I'm a little lost . Which bus do I take to get to Shi Da ? +Let's see . From here , you have to take the 278 bus . +Oh OK , where do I get off ? +You should get off at the first Shi Da stop . +Ok , thanks ... +You're new at this , huh ? +No , is it difficult ? +No , it's quite simple . When you get on , just ask the bus driver when to pay the fare and where you want to get off . +How much does it cost ? +Only 15 NT per section . Oh look , that is your bus . +Wow , I can't thank you enough . +Don't mention it . +Have you gotten a parking ticket before ? +No , I haven't . What about you ? +I got a ticket a couple of days ago . +What did you do ? +I got it for parking in the red zone . +Why would you park in the red zone ? +I had to run in and get something quickly . +Where were you at ? +I got the ticket in front of my apartment . +I thought that you had your own parking spot ? +I had to make it quick . +Hope it was worth it . +Hi ! May I help you ? +Thank you ! I am interested in your product . But I am not familiar with your corporation . +In fact , in the past we only attended local exhibitions . +No wonder . +Here is our brochure . It'll help you get acquainted with our products and company . +Thank you ! +Hey honey ! Where were you ? +I decided to take Kenny to the park and get some fresh air . +How was it ? Were there a lot of kids ? +It wasn't too crowded , but we had a great time ! We got on the see-saw together , then went on a couple of different slides and then I tried to go with him in the jungle gym , but I didn't fit . +Sounds like fun ! When we go he always just likes to play in the sandbox . +Yeah , but today he was really hyper . He even got on the monkey bars and then he went on to go on the swings for a half hour . I'm exhausted ! +You should go to the park more often since you don't go to the gym anymore ! +Hello , Madam . Are you alright ? +I'm here to pay my telephone bill . I usually go to the post office , but I was told that I could take care of it here . Is that right ? +Yes , that's correct , Madam . You don't need to go to a counter at all , you can use one of our ATM machines . I'll be more than happy to help you . +I don't usually like to use Atms , I like dealing with a real person , you see . +I know it does seem a little daunting , but once you get used to it , it will save you a lot of time and trouble . +Well Rebecca , is there anything else you need to know for now ? +I don ’ t think so , Mr . Parsons . I think you have covered all the main points for me . +Okay well listen , here is my business card with my mobile number . If any other questions spring to mind don ’ t hesitate to contact me . Of course you can also call Miss Childs too . +Great . Rmm , when can I expect to hear from you ? +Well , we are finishing the shortlist interviews tomorrow , so we will certainly have a decision made by early next week . Miss Childs will call you to discuss more on Monday or Tuesday . How does that sound ? +That sounds perfect . Thank you very much for taking the time to speak to me Mr . Parsons . +The pleasure ’ s all mine , Rebecca . +I hope to hear from you very soon . +Absolutely . Thanks for coming Rebecca . Goodbye . +I'd like to reconfirm my plane reservation . +What flight are you taking ? +Flight 201 . +And what's your name ? +Anderson . +Everything is in order . Please check in at the airport an hour before flight time . +Thank you . +I want to go house shopping , and I want to know what I can afford to buy . +There is a formula that can help us figure that out . What is your annual salary ? +I earn sixty-five thousand dollars per year . +What is the length of time that you have worked at the job you have now ? +I have been at the job I now have for 2 years , and I have been with the company for 6 years total . +Do you receive any other income ? +I own a small rental unit with a partner , and I receive five hundred dollars a month from that unit . +Do you know what your credit score is ? +I don ’ t know , but the last time I checked , it was very good ! +You are in good shape . Figuring in your other expenses , you can easily afford a house costing seven hundred thousand or maybe even a little more ! +What do you think about all the different diets people go on ? +I don't think dieting is good for you . It's much better to eat a balanced diet and to never get overweight to begin with ! +But what do you think about people who are obese ? What should they do to lose weight ? +They need to eat healthy foods , but they also have to increase the amount of exercise they do every day . They don't have to cut out fattening foods altogether , though . +So you think it's ok for people who are dieting to eat chocolate ? +Sure , they can eat some chocolate . As long as they are exercising and eating mostly healthy foods , there's nothing wrong with having a small dessert . +How about drinking soda ? +Many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda . Soda should be a treat ; there's simply no nutritional value in it whatsoever . If you want to lose weight and you can't stop drinking soda , try some diet coke . +That's good advice . Have you ever tried taking vitamins ? +My mother used to make me take vitamins every day , but I don't take them anymore .

What's the tour time we have ? +2 hours and we will meet beside our bus . It's over there . +Got it . Thank you . +Could you tell me your education background ? +Sure . Where shall I begin ? +Where did you go to university ? +I went to the university of Ohio , in America . +What degree did you get ? +I got a bachelor ’ s degree . +What was your major ? +I majored in English and minored in Chinese . +What was you G . P . A ? +I graduated with honors ; I had a 3.9 . +Do you plan to pursue further education ? +Yes . I ’ d like to obtain a master ’ s degree in international relations . +When do you think you will do that ? +After I have 3-4 years of work experience . +I see . +I wish to make it clear at the outset that this matter of labels is entirely our problem . +I should say it is something we have never come across before . +The Federal Food and Drug Administration , or the FDA as we call it for short , imposes a whole set of regulations on the import of food products to the United States . Over the years , they have become so rigid and complicated that they are now quite a head - ache for us importers . +In my opinion , overly strict regulations are just another way of restricting imports . +Ah , there's something in what you're saying . According to the present FDA regulations , the Ma Ling Labels then cannot be used if the lichee is to be offered for import into the United States . +Why not ? Our cannedlichee and canned provisions have already been widely sold in various markets abroad , and the Ma Ling Label has now been accepted by most of overseas customers and importers . Is it quite impossible for you to use the Ma Ling labels as they are ? +I'd be quite willing to if I could , but we must comply with the label requirements according to our law , or we can't clear the consignment of lichee through the Customs . +In that case , what can we do to help you ? Have you any suggestions ? +Would you consider quoting us for the order with neutral cans on a C . I . F . basis for delivery in Hong Kong ? Our associated company there will have the labels printed to comply with the FDA regulations . +Do you think that's the only way out ? You know we usually do the labeling , as we are responsible for the brand labels of our products . +May I take a look at the shoes over there ? +Certainly . What's your size ? +Size 24 . Are they synthetic or leather ? +They are all leather . How do they feel ? +It's comfortable . I will take it . +What department did you study in ? +I was in the Law School in Harvard University . +Why do you choose the Law School ? +I want to be a lawyer in the future and the Law School was one of the best schools in Harvard . +There is a very critical debate between the presidential candidates tonight . +Do you know which channel it is on ? +Five I think . All three candidates are presenting their campaign platforms . +I used to be really interested in that . But lately it seems that they end up saying one thing and doing another anyway . So why listen ? +We have to . If nobody listened that would be like turning our backs on our own rights and obligations to the freedoms that our forefathers fought for . +It's not that serious . +Yes it is . Think about it . If nobody paid any attention to anything then what's it all for anyway ? +You get really passionate about this , don't you ? Alright . I'll watch it with you . +We are very interested in your printed pure silk scarves , so could you introduce us your prices ? +Thank you for inquiring . But your enquiry is too vague to reply . +Please send us your best offer and state payment terms and time of shipment . +Ok . I need to discuss it with our manager . We'll let you have our firm offer next week . +I'm waiting . Your early offer will be highly appreciated . +Ok . I will reply to you as soon as possible . +I'm sorry . I've lost my tags and receipt . How can I do about it ? +I see . What is your baggage ? And do not remember the tag's number or color ? +It's a suitcase . But I've forgot the exact color . Maybe it is red or something . +Could you give me a description of your case ? +It's like this . It's square with a leather cover . Yes , I remember , there is a green string around the handle . That's right . +I'll check it for you ... sorry to keep you waiting . I've found it.Is this yours ? +Yes , It is the right one . +Will you show me your key card , please ? +Here it is . +All right .

We should add our opinions to the research report . +Absolutely . +Excuse me , sir . I am coming to apply for the position of accountant . +Oh , please sit down .

I took such courses as accounting principles , commercial accounting , cost accounting , industrial accounting , electronic data processing accounting , and accounting involved in foreign capital enterprises . +What kind of work are you doing now ? +I'm engaged in accounting . +What are your responsibilities in your present work ? +My work involves various routine bookkeeping and basic accounting tasks including journal entries , verifying data and reconciling discrepancies , preparing detailed reports from raw data , and checking accounting documents for completeness , mathematical accuracy and consistency . +Are you familiar with the PRC Financial and Tax Regulations ? +I think so . +Can you tell me something about this balance sheet now ? +Of course . This balance sheet contains three major sections , that is , assets , liabilities and owner's equity . So , you see , the total current liabilities of your company are $ 3,372 , 000 , and the owner's equity is $ 5,400 , 000 . That means that the total assets , which is equal to the sum of the creditor's and the owner's equities , are $ 8,772 , 000 . +What's the creditor's equity ? +The creditor's equity is the same as liabilities . +Will you tell me the situation ? +I was in my friend's room talking for an hour of so . +And then ? +I came back to my room and found that my suitcase was open and my camera and five hundred dollars in cash inside the wallet were gone . +I'm afraid you must give up the cash.Are you insured ? +Yes , this is my overseas travel accident insurance card . +I'll make a report for you and please claim this to the insurance company with this report . +Would you like anything else ? +No , I'm stuffed .

How much ? +Last week , we had a performance review on all the staff in our department in last quarter . Stevens , can you provide more information about the performance review ? +Yes , sir . Most of us had positive review in last quarter . Take Fred and David for examples . Both of them try their best to achieve the best . Their progress is distinct , especially in last quarter . +They are popular in and out of our department . Fred is easygoing , while David is cautious in working . +All these say a lot for their characters . +So , I want to recommend them for a raise . Fred is promoted to be the assistant of manager in marketing department and David to be director of office . +Would you like a cup of coffee ? +No , thank you . +I'm going to get one for myself .

This is Donald . +Oh , hi , Donald . +What happened yesterday ? You forgot our date , didn ’ t you ? +Well , it rained hard all day and I had a bad cold , so I decided to stay home . +You did ? But I tried to call you at least twenty times and nobody answered . +Oh , the telephone lines were damaged by the storm . They repaired them yesterday . +What did David do yesterday ? Did he and Judy go dancing ? +No , they stayed home and played cards with the children . +And what did you do ? Did you play cards , too ? +No . I listened to records and studied , what did you do yesterday , Donald ? +I just told you , Debbie . I tried to call you twenty times ! +Were you at the scene during the robbery ? +Yes , I was , Officer . +Were you able to see a lot ? +I was there as it happened . +What happened ? +The robber came in with a gun . +Could you see his face ? +He had a mask over his face . +Was he with someone else ? +He was alone . +Would you be willing to come down to the station for further questioning ? +I would be happy to . +Alright , tell me what you think . +Don't you think it ’ s a bit bright ? +Yeah , maybe you ’ re right . How about this outfit ? +This dress looks lovely on you , but it ’ s not very practical , is it ? +No , I don't have any plans to go to a formal dance any time soon , but I love the way it looks . I just had to try it on ! What do you think about this ? It ’ s casual , yet sophisticated . +I like the jeans , but you need something to go with the top . It ’ s too plain on its own . +How about this scarf , these earrings , AMD an anklet ? +That might be going overboard a bit . How about just that scarf with a bracelet ? +That ’ s a good idea . You have a lot of good fashion sense . +Thanks . You ’ d be ok on your own . There are loads of fashion victims out there , and you are not one of them . Have you tried it on yet ? +Yep . Here it is . What do you think ? +That looks great . Just one more thing---you need some high heels with those jeans . Do you want a pair with a plain pattern or ones with a leopard print on them ? +The leopard print sounds fabulous . Are they a name brand ? +No , they ’ re a Prada knock-off for 1/10 of the price of the real thing . +That ’ s even better than the real thing . +If I were you , I ’ d buy that now while it ’ s on sale . If you spend $ 100 , you get a $ 50 voucher for more clothes . +It ’ s too bad I did all that shopping yesterday ! +I found it at a garage sale once . +What a find ! So , how much does it cost ? +Well , because I like you ... ninety bucks . +Ninety dollars is pretty steep . I'll take it for sixty bucks . +Sixty bucks ? No-can-do , son . You'll be lucky if I go down to eighty-five . +Eighty-five ? That's the best you can do ? I'll come back later ... +How was your test ? +It was bad . +Oh , honey , you should study harder . +But I already tried my best . +Don't worry . You'll do better next time . +Oh , there is something wrong with my car . +Your car is rather old . Why not change a new one ? +I want to change a new car . I like Honda best , especially the red one . But it is too expensive . +Oh , there is a car exhibition tomorrow afternoon . I have two tickets . Would you like to go there with me ? +Yeah . Maybe I can find my favorite car in addition to Honda . +And the bank will offer you loans for twenty years ! +Well , Mr . Cui , could you tell me why you are interested in working with this company ? +I think working in this company could give me the best chance to use what I have learnt . As you know , I majored in computer programming in the university . I've cherished a desire to get a job where I can apply my knowledge . I know your company is one of the largest computer companies in the world , and I wish to have opportunity to develop my capabilities here . That ’ s why I applied . +I see . But have you ever done any work in this field ? +Yes , since 1993 , I ’ Ve been employed as a clerk in the Beijing Branch of the DHAK Trading Corporation . +Why do you plan to change your job ? +Because I would like to get a job in which I can have good opportunity for advancement , and the job was not challenging enough . +Have you applied for work with any other companies ? +Yes , I applied with another company , but that was just to get experience in being interviewed . +If you are accepted at both places , which company will you choose ? +This one , of course . Your company is my first choice . I want to work for you . +Miss , where do you want to go ? +Could you drop me off at the airport ? +No problem . +Do I need to pay any extra change for my suitcases ? +Yes , you are changed 50 cents a piece . +All right . +Hello . I'm Duty Manager today ; you wanted to speak to me ? +Yes . I hope you can help . I'm interested in obtaining a Working Capital Loan . So , I was wondering what you offer here ? Do you have various types ? +Yes , Sir . We can provide these loans in both local and foreign currency , Temporary Working Capital Loans , Short-term Working Capital Loans and Mid-term Working Capital Loans . +I see ... +Which one interests you , Sir ? +To be honest , I'm not exactly sure what we require just now . +Have you received any degrees ? +Yes . In 1996 I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Hebes University , and in 2001 I received my MBA degree from Peking University . +How about your academic records at college ? +In fact my records were excellent . My overall GPA was 9 on a 10 scale , which was the highest in my class . +That's very impressive . Which course did you like best ? +English . It was both interesting and useful , so I showed a great interest in it . +Can you tell me why you changed your major when you were a graduate student ? +Because I am very interested in administration and I did take some courses in it . I also performed well in the subjects . Hence I believe that I can do a good job in this position . +Did you get any honors and awards at college ? +Yes . I was awarded a scholarship from the university every year . In 1995 I participated in the National Contest of Maths Models and I won the prize . +Do you have any other questions ? +Yes , may I ask something about the salary and benefits in your company ? +According to our regulations , you will be on probation for the first three months . +What is the salary while on probation ? +In this period , you can only get the basic salary , 2,500 yuan per month . +That sounds fine . +The salary will be deposited into the bank on the 15th every month . Your salary will be raised every year in October , depending on your performance . +Are there paid holidays ? +Yes , you may enjoy a seven-day holiday in the first year . After that , you can have two more days each year . +Miss , the air-conditioner in my room doesn't work . +Oh , sorry about that.We ' ll get it fixed as soon as we can . +Can I help you ? +I'm looking for books on WTO.Could you show me where they are ? +Come this way please.We ' Ve got plenty of them and they're all on the shelf near the cashier's desk . +Thanks a lot . +You're welcome . +Turn on the TV , please . +OK . +What's wrong with the TV ? It isn't clear and the color's not right . +I don't know . Maybe it's broken . +Can you do something about it ? +I'll see if I can adjust it . +That's better , but it's still not quite right . +Why not tell the clerk and ask them to repair it . +Good idea . +Where were you last night , at exactly 920 pm ? +920 pm , I couldn't say . I can't remember . +Are you sure you can't remember ? +I'm absolutely certain . +Were you in or out ? Can you remember that ? +I'm not quite positive . I think I went out at about half pass nine . +Did you see anyone come into the block flats ? +No , I didn't . +Sure ? +Quite sure . +Can I help you ? +I'm looking for an MP - 3 player . Which brand is of the highest quality ? +I recommend Pioneer . +Which model is the best-seller ? +This model is very popular with ladies . +May I have a look at it ? +Sure , it's multi-functional .

In that case , we will have to go to another restaurant . Thank you all the same . +Did you go to school today ? +Of course . Did you ? +I didn't want to , so I didn't . +That's sad , but have you gone to the movies recently ? +That's a switch . +I'm serious , have you ? +No , I haven't . Why ? +I really want to go to the movies this weekend . +So go then . +I really don't want to go by myself . +Well anyway , do you plan on going to school tomorrow ? +No , I think I'm going to go to the movies . +I ’ m moving out . +Your lease isn ’ t up yet . +I won ’ t be able to stay here anymore . +That ’ s going to be a problem . +I don ’ t know why there ’ s a problem . +It ’ s a problem because I can ’ t give you your deposit back . +Why can ’ t you give it back to me ? +You ’ re breaking our contract . +I ’ m going to need my deposit back . +That ’ s not going to happen . +I can ’ t stay here , though . +That ’ s really not my problem . +Willy , I don't think we have much butter.Can you buy some ? +Sure , Mum.In a minute . +Here's the money.And get some salt . +Yes , Mum . +Your mp3 looks so cool . Where did you get it ? +I bought it online . +Really ? Do you often shop online ? +Yes . I buy most of my daily necessities online . +I've never tried E-shopping . Is it better than shopping at an actual store ? +Yes , much better . You can log in a website , browse through many items and categories comfortably at home , order the goods , pay by credit or debit card , and the goods will be delivered to your home . +Wounds good , and I don't have to queue up at the cashier . +And you can still go ' window shopping ' just like in a real shopping mall . +Well , are there any other advantages ? +Yes , most of the shops are closed at 22:00 or even earlier , but the internet operates 24 hours a day , seven days a week , and can be accessed anywhere . +Are there many choices of online shopping ? +Sure . You can buy almost anything you can think of . +Perhaps I should have a try . +Come in , young man . +( while shaking hands ) I am Zhang Wei , nice to meet you , sir . +I am Smith , the personnel director . Please have a seat , son . +Thank you . Have you received my resume ? +Actually , I haven ’ t had time to look it over . Did you bring another copy with you ? +Of course , here you are , sir . +Call me Mr . Smith . +Certainly , Mr . Smith . +Pardon me , but I was wondering if you could break a one . +Let me look . What do you need ? +I need the change for the stamp machine . +I think dimes and quarters will do . +I'm sorry to trouble you but there is a lot of noise in next room . +Oh , is there ? Which room is it ? +It ... , I think the neighbor on the right . +You mean the room 1818 ? +I'm not sure , but I think so . I'm very exhaust but I can't sleep . +All right madam , I'll check and tell them to be quiet . +If the nest room is still noisy , could you give me a different room please ? +How good is your Mandarin ? +Mandarin is the language I spoke since I was a child . So I can speak it very fluently . +What dialect do you understand ? +I can speak and read Cantonese because I worked in Guangdong for many years . +Now that you have learned Kung fu for a few months , what are your general impression of it ? +I think , maybe , it takes a real Kung fu master to give a more fair assessment ; meanwhile , I am no more than a beginner . But I really doubt whether kung fu would be of any great help when it comes to defending oneself in real life . +You mean , kung fu may not be so powerful as it is imagined ? To some extent your idea holds water . Kung fu was originally intended for self-defense , but with time it became something more than defense skills . Now we are apt to treat it as an art . +An art ! You have a good point there . So it is called martial arts in English . The Chinese are really capable of doing things nicely . They even made fighting a great enjoyment , so marvelous and fascinating . +Thanks for your compliment ! Perhaps the Chinese culture as a whole has a special inclination towards aesthetics . Do you know Jin Yong ? +I know he is a martial arts fiction writer . But I've read none of his novels . +All of his works have been translated into English . I recommend you to read one or two works of his . You'll get a general glimpse into Chinese kung fu culture . When you go through the pages , you are likely to feel they are not about kung fu alone , but cover all walks of life . +I see . They must have incorporated a series of Chinese cultural elements . +Yes , take philosophy , for instance . What makes a true , respectable da via , or a warrior hero ? It's not enough only to be formidable . It also involves a man's character , sense of justice , and values of life . +So kung fu is also a means of self-cultivation , isn't it ? +Indeed , you're exactly right ! +Could you just run through the evacuation procedure ? +Yes , of course . When you hear the fire alarm , which is a very loud , continuous ringing noise , you should go to the nearest fire exit or fire escape as quickly as possible . +Should we use the stairs ? +Yes , don't use the lifts . We have regular fire drills so you'll soon become familiar with the procedure . And always shut the fire doors to prevent the fire spreading . +Have you washed any clothes yet ? +No , I've only washed my whites . +When you wash your dark clothes , can you put some of mine in ? +Sure . Is there any extra care that I should take with your clothes ? +Just make sure you keep it on the gentle cycle . +How many clothes of yours do you want me to wash ? +There isn't a lot , why , do you have a large load to wash ? +It's really only a small load . +Do you mind washing my clothes ? +Not at all . It's no problem . +Thank you so much . +It's no trouble at all . +Excuse me , I'd like to try some Chinese food . +We serve excellent Chinese food . Which style do you prefer ? +I know nothing about Chinese food . Could you give me some suggestions ? +It's divided into 8 big cuisines such as Cantonese food , Shandong food , Sichuan food etc . +Is there any difference ? +Yes , Cantonese food is lighter while Shandong food is heavier and spicy . +How about Sichuan food ? +Most Sichuan dishes are spicy and hot . They taste differently . +Oh , really . I like hot food . So what is your recommendation for me ? +I think Mapo bean curd and shredded meat in chili sauce are quite special and delicious . We have a Sichuan food dining room . May I suggest you to go there ? It's on the third floor . +Thank you . +It's my pleasure . +Good morning , madam . I think I'm lost here . The place I want to go to is a hotel called the Hilton . +Do you know in which area ? +No , I am sorry I have no idea . I am a stranger here . +I see . Well , do you know anything near the hotel ? +Oh , yes . My friend told me the hotel was near the Central Railway Station . +Then you'll have to take a bus and get off at the Central Railway Station . +Can you show me where the Central Railway Station is on this map ? +OK . +Excuse me . Can you tell me where the Wal-Mart supermarket is ? +Turn right at the second crossing and then go straight for two blocks . +Is it far from here ? +No , it ’ s only ten-minute's walk . +Thanks a lot . +You ’ re welcome . +Excuse me.Does this train go to Brooklyn ? +Yes , it does . +Do you know when it leaves ? +I think it leaves at two thirty . +Oh , it's ten o'clock . I'd better go now . +Would you stay for another cup of coffee ? +No , thanks . I'll have to meet my friend at the airport . +May , I saw a beautiful cotton down coat in the shopping mail . +Are you kidding ? It ’ s summer . +Ladies and gentlemen , now we are in the National Forest Park . +What's that ? +The stone is a prehistoric log . It was turned to stone millions of years ago . +Really ? It's unbelievable . +But it's the truth . +Do you have Ginkgo trees here ? +We don't have them here , I'm afraid . Ginkgo trees grow well only in cold weather . +What are these trees opposite to the pine trees ? +They are poplar trees . They are widely used in our lives . +I think I know that . +Maybe we'd better go now . +It's still early . +Gosh , it's already 10 . Stay here if you like . +Since we're late , let's go to see a film . +OK . Hurry up . +Steven , what's the expense of moving house ? +About 3 000 dollars . +It costs a lot of money . Hospital bills had already made deep in-roads into our savings . Do you think the rest of your salary will be enough to cover our daily expenses ? +I am afraid not , darling . Our expenses are mounting . +We have to cut back on our shopping from now on . +Don't worry . Maybe I can find a part-time job to increase my income . +I hope so . +We are sorry to bring you so much trouble . +We hope that this dispute can be settled through friendly negotiation without its being submitted for arbitration . +Yes . That's what we want . +Mary , could you please come in for a short while ? +No problem . +Mary , I'd like you to meet Richard , Our new executive in the marketing . +Nice to meet you , Austin . +Welcome to our department . I hope you'll like it here . +By the way , Richard will assist me in the planning work . I hope you can work well together . +Sure , if you've got any problem you can ask me . +Thank you.It ' s very kind of you . +Richard , Mary is a very helpful and experienced secretary indeed , and I'm sure you will find out . +Thank you , sir . I'll try my best to assist Richard in his work . +Hi , Bill.It ' s Marsha Black at MPPD Ltd.How are you ? +Hello , Marsha . I'm great and you ? +Not too bad at all.Do you have a minute ? +Sure , what can I do for you ? +We're ready to place our Christmas order and we need a formal bid . +So this is a real thing ? +Right , this is not a drill . This is for all the marbles . +When do you need it ? +ASAP , in writing of course . +Sure , who am I bidding against ? +The usual guys , so you better use a sharp pencil . +Okay , give me a week and I'll have time to get my pencil real sharp . I should have some new figures from Malaysia by then . +How do I submit an expense report ? +You need all your receipts for reimbursement . +You mean I have to attach the receipts with the expense report ? +Yes , here is the form for an expense report . Fill it out and give it to me . I ’ ll get it signed for you . +Let ’ s call it a day . +It ’ s nice to go home earlier once in a while . But now it ’ s the evening rush . +It ’ s hard to commute a long way . +Sure it is . I really hate to get caught in a traffic jam . +Are you ready to order ? +Yes . I'll have the fresh fruit cocktail . +And for your entree ? +I think I'll Ty the crisp deep-fried chicken . +Do you plan on voting this Tuesday ? +Yes . What about you ? +I already voted . +What do you mean you already voted ? +I had to mail in an absentee ballot . +Why ’ d you have to do that ? +I ’ m not going to be able to vote this Tuesday . +Why is that ? +I have to work this Tuesday . +You can always go to work late . +That same morning I have some business to take care of . +Oh , I understand . +Hello . Can I ask what steps I have to go through in applying for the job ? +It is not very complicated . You can send your resume to the e-mail address of our company . +What is the next step ? +Our personnel clerk will screen all the resumes that we receive , select the eligible ones and arrange the interview for them . +Ah ! It hurts . Don't touch it . +What part hurts ? +The shoulder . +Well , maybe you broke it . But what I'm worried about is this cut . +It's not a cut . It's a gash ! It's bigger than a cut ! Ah ! I need a doctor . +C'mon . Just don't move . +I'm bleeding too much . +We don't have a decent First Aid Kit , do we ? +Yes . My bike has one under the seat . Get it , quick ! +There's some tape , iodine , and cloth bandages . I don't think the cloth bandages can stop the bleeding . What we need is a tourniquet . +Wrap a few loops of the bandages around my upper arm , then twist.That will work as a tourniquet.After that , you can cut more of the bandages to cover the wound . +Good plan . Let me put some iodine on the cut . +No , forget that ! Do the tourniquet first . I'm losing too much blood . +Alright , alright . How did you cut this so bad ? +I ’ m having a problem . +What ’ s the problem ? +A pipe burst in my wall . +Is the pipe causing any water damage ? +The water is causing mildew . +I can come fix the pipe sometime tomorrow . +Can I just call someone myself to fix it ? +I don ’ t think that would be a good idea . +You won ’ t do it until tomorrow . +I guess you have a point . +So , I can call someone to fix it ? +Go right ahead . +Here ! Here ! Use my card ! +No , you don't ! I should treat my new brother-in-law ! +Not on your life ! I'm the best man , so I pay ! +OK , OK . On one condition . +What's that ? +You come back here with me tomorrow , and it's my treat ! +You've got it ! But are we coming back for the music , or for the fruit ? +Tomorrow I'll take you to some places that I'm sure you will have interest in . +Where else haven't I been to yet ? +Not many but these ones . They are the Folk Antique Handicrafts and Collectibles Exhibition Halls ! +Sounds great ! How many kinds of folk collections they have ? +Well , there're actually over 200 kinds of folk collections in this city , that's half the collections of antique objects in China . There's one exhibition hall for multiple collection , and several individual display rooms for private collections . +Private collectors ! Oh , they must have excellent collections . I'll go and see each of them . What kinds of collections can I see ? Come on , David , don't keep me in suspense ! +No hurry ! I'll tell you now . The collections include ancient cases and caskets , tea sets , abacuses , precious sea shells and conches , jars and water abacuses for study use , drama costumes , agates , ancient coins , butterflies , fans , mini musical instruments , root-carving , rare stones and rocks , model ships , model cars . +Enough , David ! I can't wait anymore . Let's go right now ! +Okey , Okey . We'll start from the Folk Collection Exhibition House , a multi-folk collection exhibition hall , where the best of local antique objects are on constant display . The hall itself used to be the site of a local club in the late King Dynasty , a well preserved piece of antique architecture itself .

You'd be working with Elvin again . +I don't think so . +Elvin doesn't hold a grudge , if that's what you're worried about . +My wife's birthday is today . I need some flowers . +We have lots of fresh red roses . +How much do the roses cost ? +$ 20 a dozen . +That sounds good . Last year I paid $ 30 . +Yes , you came here on the right day . They're on sale today . +Give me a dozen . +Very good .

But I have to contact my friend first . +All right ! Thank you . +This is a very spacious apartment . It's forty pings , including the parking space . That's about one thousand four hundred square feet . +Wow . It's just the two of us . I don't know if we need that much room . +You never know when two might turn into three . +I guess you're right . And we'd like to have company anyway . +Exactly , which is why a three-bedroom is better . And look , there are two bathrooms . +Now that's a plus ! +I want to find an old music box . +We have a great selection . What decade are you looking for ? +Do you have anything made in the 1920s ? +We have six . +Do any of them have dancing figures ? +Actually , two of them have dancing figures . +That's fantastic .

I ’ Ve got pork chops , small steaks , chicken wings and plenty of hot dog sausages and hamburger patties . +I can ’ t wait to start cooking . I ’ Ve bought the grill and charcoal.Do you have enough plates and utensils ? +I think so . I bought some paper plates and cups for people to use.It will save on the washing up . +And if people drop them , they won ’ t break.We ’ ll need to buy some buns to make hot dogs and hamburgers . +They sell them at the shop around the corner.We can go and get some in a few minutes . +I brought some cheese to make cheeseburgers and some onions for the hot dogs.We ’ ll need some tomato catchup and some barbecue sauce . +I have the sauce , but remind me to get some catchup at the shop . +How long does it take to cook meat on the barbecue ? +It only takes a few minutes.Some people like their meat well done , others like it rare.The great thing about the barbecue is that everyone can choose how they want their meat cooked . +They can cook them themselves to make sure exactly how they like it . +I hope you haven ’ t invited any vegetarians . +Hello , this is Michael . I'd like to speak to Mr . Wood . +Sorry , Mr . Wood is not here right now . Do you have any message for him ? +I will call again in twenty minutes .

Let me try it . +Anything else ? +No , thank you +During the last two years , there has been a great increase in goods stolen abroad . +If they steal the entire package , that would be theft . So they don't do that . Generally , thieves open the case and take part of the contents out . Then fill the case so that the gross weight will be the same . +If the goods are received in apparent good order and condition , the steamship company doesn ’ t have liability for pilferage . How do we protect ourselves ? +The insurance policy protects us . +Is it true that products of high value such as watches , jewels and luxury clothing items are often subject to pilferage ? +It's absolutely true in the United States that losses from pilferage have been limited to high valued goods . We must study more about packing . +I ’ d like to set a fixed time for this meeting before we finish today . Can you all take a look at your schedules ? +Thursday mornings are usually the slowest around here . Why don ’ t we set it for Thursday at 10:00 a . m . ? +That ’ s out for me . I already have a standard meeting on Thursdays at 9:30 a . m . How about Wednesday afternoon at 2 +That ’ s all right for my department . I don ’ t know how the rest of you feel . +I would like to exchange this dress . +You can exchange this dress with anything of the same value . +Is there anything on sale today ? +I'm sorry . There are no sales today . +Are dresses going to be on sale ? +Everything's going to be on sale next weekend . +That's great . I'll wait . See you next weekend . +Okay . I'll see you then . +May I help you ? +I bought the MP4 in your store a week before , but it doesn't work today . +Have you brought your receipt ? +Yes , here you are . +I am sorry , we will change yours for a new one . +Excuse me , What time does the next bus for Boston leave ? +It leaves at 8 +I see .

The pictures are nice too . Did you buy any new furniture ? +I bought a new mattress and some fresh bedclothes . I also bought a new dressing table and a new bedside table . +New furniture makes a room seem so fresh . I see that you also bought a new lamp for your bedside table . +Do you think that I should get a new wardrobe ? +That wardrobe looks quite big . Is it full of clothes ? +Yes . I have some many clothes stuffed into it . Perhaps I should get rid of some of them . There are clothes in there that I never wear anymore . +I like to get rid of clothes that I don ’ t wear rather than keeping them in a wardrobe . They take up too much space . There are several charity shops that you can give old clothes to . They will be happy to receive them as long as they are in reasonable condition . +That ’ s a good idea . After I get rid of the old clothes I no longer wear , I can see what new clothes I need to buy . +I need to buy some new clothes for the summer too . Perhaps we can go together one day . +Ok . I ’ ll let you know when I ’ Ve sorted out my clothes . +I need a snack from the cafeteria . +What are you thinking of getting ? +I only want some chips . +I think I may get something too . +What do you plan on buying ? +I have a sweet tooth .

All the seats are taken . Let's go there . There is a seat over there . +It's a priority seat . We can not sit there . We should give the seats to those eld , pregnant and disabled people . +Yeah , you are right . Let's stand . It takes only about 20 minutes . +If we go to Danshui in the morning on A weekday , we are sure to have seats since it's not during rush hour . +Anyway , we are arriving at Danshui soon . I can't wait to watch the beautiful sunset . +I want to have the overcoat made to measure . +Sure , sir . Have you brought the cloth ? +No , I don't know which one to choose . I think maybe you can help me . +Well , I recommend you to choose the 100 % cotton . +I will take your advice . +Is it all right for me to come in now . Mr . Sutcliffe ? +Well ... I'm pretty busy . but ... all right . come in . What can I do for you ? +Do you mind if I sit down ? +Not at all . Take a seat . Now , what can I do for you ? +I want to leave the department . Do you think I could put in for a transfer ? +Yes , but why should you want to do that ? +Do you mind if I speak frankly ? +Not at all . Go ahead . +Well , you see . I don't like the office . I don't like the staff.and I'm afraid you and I don't get on . So may I put in for a transfer ? +Yes . I'd delighted if you did . +Good morning .

I'd like to come back at about 7 p . m . +There's one at 7:10 p . m . and the next one is at 7:40 p . m . +Mmm , how much is a return ticket ? +If you get on before 4 p . m . or after 6 p . m . , there is a saver return which is 9 pounds . An ordinary return is 16 pounds . +An ordinary return , please . +After this lunch , I haven ’ t got much green left . +Poor Ben , your wife is too mean to you . She gives you so little money every time when you are out . +Playing the chess is very exhausting , isn't ? +No , doing it in the long run will make you an acute man . +I'm afraid playing the chess like that will soon make me an old man . I noticed that most chess players were bald . +That's because you are always fixing your eyes on the bald . +Solomon , I thought we had agreed to change this deadline . +I wanted to talk to you about that , Mr . Eng . Mr . Emory would prefer to keep the deadline as is . We can start earlier if you ’ d like . +I ’ ll have to think about that , Ms . Solomon . +Certainly , sir . We can wait another day or two . +Good morning , Mr.Robinson . I am afraid there is a change in today's program . I just got word that your appointment with Mr . Smith , the general manager of Western Textile Co . , Ltd . , will have to be put off . +But why ? +Mr.Smith called just now that he had to fly to Shanghai on urgent business today . +OK , I see . +Mr.Smith is sending his apologies and has asked me to find out if the day after tomorrow would be all right with you . +Yes , that will be just as good . +Then shall we make it nine o'clock the day after tomorrow morning ? +All right . Then I can do some shopping today before going back to my country . +Morning . May I help you ? +Yes . I'd like to open an account that enables me to draw money easily . +Well , in that case , I think a checking account may be more convenient for you . However , there's a service charge . +How much is the service charge ? +One percent . +Sounds reasonable . Will 300 dollars be enough for a minimal deposit ? +More than enough . Please fill in this form . +Anything else ? +Your passport , please . +Have you ever shopped online ? +Quite often . It is very convenient , saving me a lot of time . +Do you have some experiences to share with me ? I want to have a try . +You are asking the right person . Here are two very important tips . First , you need to visit no more than one site to find the best products and prices . I can recommend you some online merchants . Second , write your mail address correctly . Otherwise , you can ’ t receive your delivery in time . +What about the registration procedure ? Is that complicated ? +Not at all . You just need to provide your name , address , e-mail address , phone number and bank or credit card information . I will help you with that . +It is so nice of you . +May I ask whether we are allowed to wear casual clothes in the office ? +Sure , company rules are not very strict at this point . +Thank you for telling me that . +But remind you , there are some forbidden activities . +What are they ? I ’ ll be careful . +Don ’ t use office phones for personal matters . +I got it . +Never ever come to work drunk , also smoking in the office is not allowed . +I see . +I think I may rent this apartment from you . +That ’ s great to hear . +How much are you looking to rent it for ? +For each month you would have to pay $ 1050 . +That is too expensive . +I don ’ t think that is too much for rent . +How does $ 850 a month sound to you ? +That ’ s not enough . +That ’ s the best that I can do . +$ 850 a month is not enough money . +Would you please reconsider ? +That ’ s my final offer . Take it or leave it . +Hello , this is Mary from the Taipei new station , what can i do for you ? +Hello , Marry , this is Lin Wang , calling from network . +Hi , Mr Wang , who do you wish to speak to ? +May i speak to David please ? +Davids who , we have 5 Davids in the office . +Oh , sorry , David Richton . +Please hold on a minute , offer your call to Mr Richton . +Thank you . +You are welcome . +From the looks of this house from the outside , I don ’ t really think that I want to go inside . +From here , it does look like it could use a little work . Let ’ s see what the interior looks like . +I am not impressed by the interior of this house . +Sometimes all a place needs is a little bit of cleaning and some fresh paint . +With so few windows , how can you even see what the problems are ? +I think that we should check out the kitchen . It is listed as roomy and spacious . +Where are you supposed to store things without any cabinet space ? +The picture in the listing shows a lovely master suite . I think that we should go look at it since we are here . +Is there a dead animal somewhere in here ? +Well , I think that it is pretty safe to say that this is not the house for you . +Dad , can you help me ? +Oh , honey , you made a mistake . +I don't know how to do it . +OK . Let's do it together . +16 divided by 2 . What's the answer ? +16 divided by 2 equals 8 . +You got it . Good job . +I've heard that you are going to call for a tender . What kind of goods would you like to buy ? +Yes , we're ready to start the invitation to tender . You're well informed . We'd like to build new factory . +When do you open the tender ? And where ? +We intend to open the tender at first next month in Beijing . +And when is the closing date ? +The time period is set on June 29th . +Could you please tell me something more about the conditions for the tender ? +All right . The area of the factory buildings is around 8,000 square meters . You can read the details in the invitations which will be sent tomorrow . +Thank you for your information . +You're welcome . +I'm sorry to have taken up too much of your time . +It doesn't matter . We'll be in touch . +Okay , bye ! +Bye ! +Welcome to Al ’ s Garage . What seems to be the problem ? +No problem at all ! I am taking a long road trip and I want to make sure my car is in good mechanical condition . +Very wise decision . When was the last time you had a tune up ? +Not that long ago , I think it was four months ago . +We usually recommend that you bring your car in every five thousand kilometers . +Why ? I mean , what exactly do you do to a car that you need to check it so often ? +First of all , we change the motor oil and oil filter . If you don ’ t do this , it can cause your engine to wear faster and that means you would probably have to change the pistons and intake valves . +I see . What else ? +We also check your spark plugs , fuel filter , and other oil levels such as hydraulic fluid . We also check the clutch and brakes to determine when you will need new ones . +Ok , well , when you put it that way , it doesn ’ t seem like a waste of time and money . +Trust me , regular tune ups will keep your car running smoothly and avoid break downs . +Hi Kara , this is Mike . +Hello Mike . How are things going for you ? +Great , how are you ? +Fine . Everything is just fine . +Kara , I had a great time the other night and was wondering if you would like to go out again this weekend . +Mike , I enjoyed your company , but I am getting ready to graduate soon . I really need to focus on my studies . +Maybe I could help you with what you need to get done . +It would be better for me to just deal with getting my work done , but thank you for a lovely dinner . +May I try on this pair of shoes ? +Of course . What is your size ? +I think it's 35 . +OK . I'll get it for you . +Hmm , I don't feel very comfortable . +Try this one , please . This is made of real leather and is very soft . How is it ? +This is just right for me . I'll take this one . +Aunt Shirley , I heard the Yuan Miao Festival is the name for the festival . Why did it get its name ? +Well , the first lunar month is called Yuan-month , and in ancient times people called night Miao . And you know the festival is just in the middle of the month . +Oh , I see . I also heard today is the last day for the street fair . Can ’ t wait to sample all the snacks . +Sure . It ’ s indeed a culinary heaven which offers a wide range of delicious snacks to satisfy all tastes . Then , which one would you like ? +Can you recommend some must-try ? +OK . Let ’ s go over there . For the Lantern Festival , you should never omit the Yuanxiao . +What ’ s that ? It gets the name from the festival itself . That ’ s really funny ! +Actually , they are small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour . They are like Tangun . +Oh , I know Tangyuan . It ’ s a sweet snack , good for dessert . +Yes . And also , we can find Yuanxiao with both sweet and salty fillings . +I ’ d like to try the salty ones . Where does that strange smell come from ? +Oh , the smelly bean curd . My favorite ! +Well , I guess that ’ s about it . Everything ’ s packed and ready to go . +It ’ s hard to believer you ’ re really retiring . What are you going to do with yourself ? +Have fun ! I plan to spend some more time with my grandkids , and I might even go back to school . +Well , good luck . Give me a ring sometime , and let me know how you are . +Could I make a reservation for Flight 10 to Tokyo ? +I'm sorry , but everything is taken . +How about the next flight-tomorrow at two o'clock ? +Yes , I can give you a reservation on that . +Betty , something is burning .

I ’ ll turn it off now . +Look at my nice blue shirt , there ’ s a big hole in it . +I ’ m sorry , Jim . +Never mind , dear . +Richard ? Do you have the number for that Chinese restaurant on the corner ? +Yeah , hold on a second . I ’ Ve got it in my office . Here it is . 553-2213 . +553-2213 . Great , thanks . +No problem . Pick me up something to eat too , please . +I don't know how to adjust my life . Would you give me a piece of advice ? +You look a bit pale , don't you ? +Yes , I can't sleep well every night . +You should get plenty of sleep . +I drink a lot of wine . +If I were you , I wouldn't drink too much . +I often feel so tired . +You better do some exercise every morning . +I sometimes find the shadow of death in front of me . +Why do you worry about your future ? You're very young , and you'll make great contribution to the world . I hope you take my advice . +Welcome to our show ! Today , I am going to show you how to make the perfect mouthwatering sandwich ! Are you ready ? Let ’ s get started ! +Let ’ s start with the basics , bread . Bread is an important ingredient here . You need to remember one thing - choose the bread according to the following criteria , freshness , crumb and color . If you want a closed sandwich I recommend you first toast your bread in a toaster or oven , or grill it slightly until it gets a light brown color . +Now that our bread is ready , let ’ s talk about the ingredients ! Of course , each person ’ s palate is different , but I ’ m going to give you a few tips that you ’ ll be able to use when turning any sandwich into the perfect sandwich . I would strongly recommend you put fresh vegetables in your sandwich . +Do not undervalue them as they play a big role in forming the taste and will make the sandwich more refreshing and light . The best choices here are evident — cucumbers , tomatoes , onions , sweet pepper or chilli , lettuce and , of course , herbs — you can ’ t go wrong with them . As for aubergines , mushrooms and asparagus , I would recommend you first grill them slightly with a little touch of olive oil . +Last but not least , we have a wide variety of condiments that we can add to our perfect sandwich . We can be subtle and just add a touch of salt and pepper , or we can combine mustard sauce , mayonnaise , ketchup or even caviar to achieve a stronger flavor ! It ’ s always a good idea to cut your sandwich in triangles or manageable pieces to avoid all your ingredients falling out and staining your shirt ! +That ’ s all the time we have for today , but join us next time where we ’ ll be going over how to make the perfect lasagna ! Till next time ! +Can you tell me where the supply shop is ? +Sure . It ’ s on basement level one . Turn right when you get off the elevator . +Great ! Thanks a lot ! +No problem , John . +What's the postage on these letters to hongkong , please ? +I'll have to check . Do you need anything else ? +Yes . Five one-dollar stamps , please . +That'll be 14 dollars in all . +Good morning , sir . Can I see your boarding pass , please ? +Here you are . +Excuse me , sir . This is your passport . +Really ? Ugh ... Is there any difference ? +Yes . As a matter of fact , you can't board the plane without boarding pass . +Gee . I must have left it in my hotel room . +I'm sorry sir . I can't let you pass . +But when does the plane take off ? +Ugh , in about thirty minutes , sir . +Oh , my God ! What do I do now ? Bone head , bone head , bone head ( He smashes his head with his hand . ) . +Calm down , sir . You are creating a commotion . +( The speaker in the airport says , ' Mr . Benjamin , we now have a boarding pass by the name of Benjamin at Lost and Found . ' ) Is that me ? +Could be . +Oh , thank God . Thank you , I'll be right back . +( Benjamin starts to run and then he seems to remember something and returns . ) Ugh , excuse me , where is the Lost and Found ? +It's down in the lobby . Turn left at exit B . +Thank you , thank you , thanks again . +Is there any chance to further study ? +Nope . Our company is private-owned and its profit is the biggest issue . We don't think that further study has anything to do with our development and profit-making . +Do you have training program or plan for employees ? +Nope . We just hope our employees will make profit for us . +You look tired . +Yeah , I ’ Ve been working so much overtime lately . +Really ? How come ? +My boss gave me a big project . I had to have it finished it by this morning . It was so difficult ! +You shouldn ’ t work so hard . +I know . But hard work pays off , you know . +What do you mean ? +Maybe now I ’ ll get that promotion I was hoping for . +Excuse me . Is this where I catch the bus for the zoo ? +Well , you can take the No . 36 bus from here , but then you have to walk about 30 minutes . +That doesn't sound too bad . +Actually , if you go to the bus stop in the next block , you can take bus 301 which will let you right off in front of the zoo . +Maybe that's what I'll do . Thanks a lot . +You're welcome . +My dear , it's five flights up ! +That's all right.We ' ll get used to it.Besides , it is quiet up there.We ' re little further away from the street and traffic noise and there's no one living over us . +Is the place well-furnished ? +Yes , it's pretty bright in there and big enough for our children to play . +What about the kitchen ? +The stove and refrigerator are in good working order , and I don't see any loose electric wiring that could cause fires . +Are the plumbing all right ? +The plumbing seems OK , too.The toilet flushes and the shower has hot and cold water , and the sinks don't seem to leak . +The place is OK.Let ' s go there and have a look at it again . +Hello , what can I do for you today ? +Well , I ’ Ve got a terrible stomach-ache and I keep needing the toilet . +I see . Well , with those symptoms maybe you ’ Ve got food poisoning . What have you eaten recently ? +Well , I went to a seafood restaurant last night and I ate lots of oysters . +Hmm . It may be those then , especially if they were raw . Well , I ’ ll give you these tablets and you should feel fine by tomorrow . +Ok . Thank you very much . +Hi Kara , it's Mike here . +Hi Mike , how are you doing ? +I'm doing well , and you ? +Everything is going great . +Kara , would you be interested in going to dinner again this Friday ? +Mike , I had a good time too , but I am getting ready to move back to the east coast , so I think I shouldn't get too involved right now . +Well , we could just go out as friends . +Right now , I think I need to really focus on matters at home , but thanks for a nice evening . +Can I go to my room now ? +Yes , the lift is just around the corner.You can go up first , and your luggage will be brought up straight away . +Thank you . +Pardon me . Could you help me ? +Of course . How can I help you ? +I am looking for a sweater . +What size do you wear ? +Medium , I think . +Here . How do you like this one ? +It's pretty . Can I try it on ? +You can try it on in the fitting room over there . +I can't get into my room . I mean I left my room key inside . +I see , sir . Those two ladies in front of your room did the same thing twenty minutes ago . +Oh , did they ? Well , would you give us an extra key to the room ? +I am afraid we have no extra key . So I will send somebody to your room . +By the way , what should I do with the key when I go out ? +Please drop it at the front desk when you leave the hotel . +Hi there ! My name's Terry Graham . You're new around here , huh ? +Yes . My name's Mark Benson . I just started a couple weeks ago . +Well , if there's anything I can do for you , let me know . +Thanks , I appreciate that ! +How do you want your hair cut ? +I want it the way Peckham wears it . +Who is Peckham ? +Are you kidding me ? Even the girls know Peckham . Whatever , I have a picture of him here . +You are a big fan of him ! He has strong legs . +Sure , he is a soccer star . +Hey , wake up . It's done . How do you like it ? +Oh , my God . It's disaster . It makes my head look like a soccer ball . +But it's the same hairstyle . +It looks like the hairstyle of Kahn who stands beside him in the picture . +Oh . I made a mistake . I thought the guy on the right was Peckham . +He plays outside right but it doesn't mean he has to stand on the right . +Sorry , but do not worry . I think I can fix it . Just cut a little more off the temple . +Do it , please . +Tommy played truant today . His teacher called me this morning . +Where did he go ? +I've asked him , but he won't tell me . What should we do about this ? He is like you . I remember when we were at the college , you always skipped classes . +Like me ? But you see I am so successful now . And if he is really like me , he will be more successful than me in the future . +Stop , stop ... We are talking about our son's attendance for classes and his study . Maybe we could give him a little bit money to pay to go to school . +Pay him ? But he studies for himself , not for you or for me or for anybody else . I got an idea . You should send him to class every morning and after the class begins , you can go to work . +In that way , I'll be late every day . How about letting him go to school on school bus ? +That's a good idea . Why have I never thought of that ? +That's because I went to school for each class when I was at school . So now I am much more clever than you . +I can ’ t make out anything , the words are too light . I thought they have already changed the toner cartridge this month . +It seems not or somebody has recently received a large fax . Ok , no problem . We do it ourselves . +Do you know how to do it ? I am not so good at machine things . I will have somebody do it as soon as possible . +Check with somebody from the IT department . They are anyway in charge of the office electronic equipment . +Excuse me , I'm looking for your English textbooks . +They're right over there , next to the dictionaries . +Do you have any textbooks to help improve students ' reading skills ? +Let ' s see . These books here focus on grammar , and those are mainly for conversation practice ... Here we are . This book has short passages for students to read and answer questions about . +Great . That ' s just the sort of thing I'm looking for . Thanks . +Excuse me . I want to pay the bill . +Please wait till your name is called . OK . Your bill includes the doctor's fee and the cost for a 3 - day supply of medicine . It comes to one hundred yuan . +Here you are . +Good . Here is the receipt . The dispensary is over there ... By the way , will this be covered by your insurance from work ? +No , I'll e paying for myself , but I have private medical insurance . +In that case , I'll give you a certificate , so you can get it reimbursed . +Thanks a lot . +Don't lose this receipt , because insurance companies are very difficult about helping when they don't have the right paperwork . +Today is Saturday , isn't it ? +Yes , what's wrong ? +What's the date today ? +Today is September 28th , 2007 . +I have a meeting this afternoon . +When will it begin ? +It will begin at three o'cock . What's the time now ? +It is half past one . +I have to go now . I don't want to be late . +Don't worry , time is enough . +Good evening , Mr . Taylor . I'm so glad you were able to come . +Glad to meet you again , Mrs Hao . You are so kind . +Now dinner's ready . Let go over to the dinner table . Would you like to use the chopsticks or the fork and knife , Mr . Taylor ? +Oh , it's a real Chinese meal . When in Rome , do as the Romans do . I'd take the chopsticks . +Yes , hope you like it . Do you need beer or wine ? +Beer , please . Oh , there are so many dishes . +I'm glad you like them .. . We'd appreciate your kind consideration in the coming negotiation . Let's drink to our friendship . +Let's hope for good cooperation between us . +Come on , darling.We haven't got much time . +All right . I'm nearly ready.What time does the bus leave ? +Half past six ... and it's half past six already . +Oh , we've got plenty of time . +We haven't . Hurry up ! +All right.Let ' s go . +And about time too . +Good ! There's the information desk . How do we get to the 70th Street , please ? +The Northern Line is what you want . +How much is it ? +It's two yuan . +Which way do we go for the Northern Line ? +Just go through the No . 8 ticket-barrier over there . A train will be in directly . +I appreciate it . Thank you . +That's all right . +are your ready to go to the supermarket ? +yes , are you ? +I've got my money and my keys , so I'm ready . +you do know that it's absolutely freezing out , don't you ? I'd put a coat on if I were you . +it wasn't cold out this morning . +well , it's started raining since then . Look out the window ! It's pouring rain out there ! +well , I guess we'd better grab our umbrellas then , as well . +have a look outside for me . Does that look like hail to you ? +it does , actually . Maybe we should wait for it to clear up before we go shopping . +that's a good idea . But maybe we should move the car so that the hail doesn't dent it . +ok . I'll go move the car if you turn the heat on . It's a bit chilly in here . +how long do you think this hailstorm is supposed to last ? +I don't know . The weatherman didn't say anything about this in his weather report last night . +maybe we should turn on the news in case it's supposed to get worse . +I don't think we have anything to worry about . Do you want to put on a cup of tea as well ? +good idea . That will help us to warm up . +if I'm not back in ten minutes , come and find me . +alright . I'll have a cup of tea waiting for you . +Front Desk . What can I do for you ? +This is Room 320 . Can I have a morning call tomorrow ? +What time do you want us to wake you up ? +Seven , please . +OK . I've set it up for you . +Thank you . +Why don ’ t you introduce him ? I wonder if we will become good friends . +He is the guy I was telling you about . +Here we come . +Thank you.What ' s the fare ? +$ 10 . +How can it be ? +Well , the rate is two dollars for the first two kilometers and twenty cents for each additional two hundred meters . +I see . Thanks for your drive . +I need to make a copy of a document as soon as possible . +No problem , sir . There's a copy machine in our computer lab . +Very good . How much does each copy cost ? +Each copy will cost you a dime , sir . +A dime ? I remember when copies used to cost a nickel . +There aren't many things you can get for a nickel , sir . +I can ’ t find my purse . Have you seen it ? +No , I haven ’ t . +I ’ Ve looked everywhere for it . I must have left it somewhere . I hope I haven ’ t lost it . +Perhaps you left that at school . +No , I had it when I left school this afternoon . +Well . Didn ’ t you go around to the Smith after school ? You might have left it there . +Yes , I ’ d better give her a call now . +But she can ’ t be home now . She might have gone to the library . +Perhaps I should call her later . +Show me a smaller pair of trousers , sir . I am not that fat , you see . +You've come to the right place . We've got various styles and sizes recently . How much do you measure around your waist ? +I have no idea . Measure me , please . +OK ! 2 Chi round . Try this one . Maybe it's of your size . +( After trying ) I'm afraid it's still too fight around the stomach . +Let me check the stock . How about this one ? +( After trying ) Mm , a perfect fit . How much ? +150 Yuan . +A little expensive . But I'll buy it anyway . It's hard for me to get a perfect one . Here is 200 Yuan . +Here's your change , 50 Yuan . Welcome back again . +Good afternoon , Mr.Stein . I wonder if you are free tomorrow evening ? +I'm not sure , but let me check my schedule ... Ah , no . I have nothing then . +Great ! Our president has asked me to come over to invite you to the banquet held in your honor at the Beijing Hotel at 7:00 . Here's an invitation card for you . +How nice of him ! I'll be delighted to go . But what time would be convenient ? +I'll be here to pick you up at 6:30 . +That's good . It's most thoughtful of you to do this , Miss Wood . +It's my pleasure . Well , then , see you tomorrow . +How beautiful the flower is ! +Really , it's so beautiful . +You like it . Well , I'll gather it for you . +You mustn't pick it in this place . +Where is it ? +It's a private garden . +Mom , can I watch TV ? +No more today , honey . +Alright , Mom . Should I turn off the TV right now ? +Yes , honey . Go to your room , and take out your book . It's your reading time now . +Mom , where is the remote ? I can't find it . +Just go to read . I will find it , honey . +I think you should look over these figures again . There are some calculations that are a bit off . +I apologize . This should not have to be this way . +Apology is accepted . Try to do better next time . +Of course , I should have been more careful . I ’ m sorry . +Good afternoon , sir .

Besides , I have two cameras , one is for my own use , and the other is a gift . +Well , the cigarettes and the champagne are not in excess of the duty-free allowance .

When you need it ? +Sometime around next week . What can you tell me about this apartment ? +Well , It's a one-bedroom apartment . The monthly rent at 650 dollars and a 300 dollars security deposit . You pay electricity only . Gas and water is included . Both the heat and stove are gas . Let me see , what else ... Oh , you'll be assigned a sheltered parking space at no extra charge . And that's probably it . +Sounds good . May I come over tomorrow to take a look ? +Sure . What time would you like to come ? +How about 10 am ? +Good , May I have your name , please ? +My name is Blanca . +Thanks for calling , Blanca . I'll see you tomorrow . +I swear I will never shop at a street market in China . It's a terrible place full of excellent profiteers ! You have to keep an eye whenever it comes to paying for something . +cool down , Harry ! What are you really mad about ? Did you get ripped off ? +yes . Last Sunday I went to a nearby market . It was on open-air fair . I chanced upon this bag and bought it on the spot , without even trying to strike a bargain . I paid one hundred and twenty . And just +is that so ? I'm afraid people here will not take pity on unlucky guys like you . Bargaining has always been an indispensable procedure in business deals . It's the norm of free trade . The seller sets +but don't you think it annoying to overcharge the customers by such a handsome margin ? +of course , that's something really irritation . And the only way to avoid being trapped is to know in advance about the real worth of the stuff . I recommend you to consult the price tags in the superb +Sam , you ’ Ve got to forgive me . +Forgive you for what ? +I used your computer . And I ’ m afraid I ’ Ve erased your personal files accidentally . +No ! Are you kidding me ? +I ’ m afraid not . I apologize . +I can ’ t believe it ! I have all my important personal documents stored in that computer . It ’ s no laughing matter . +I told you I ’ m sorry . What can I do to make it up to you ? +Well , you should be sorry ! Don ’ t ever use my computer again ! You can ’ t do anything now , it ’ s too late ! +Could you do something to advance your time of shipment ? +Well , our manufacturers are fully committed at the moment . I'm afraid it's very difficult to improve any further on the time . +I hope you'll try to convince them to step up production . +We check their production schedule against our orders almost every day . As new orders keep coming in , they are working three shifts to step up production . I'm sorry , but we simply cannot commit ourselves beyond what the production schedule can fulfill . +Well , in that case , there is nothing more to be said . What's your last word as to the date then ? +I said by the middle of October . This is the best we can promise . +All right . I'll take you at your word . May I suggest that you put down in the contract shipment on October 15th or earlier ? Our letter of credit will be opened early September . +Good . Let's call it a deal . We'll do our best to advance the shipment to September . The chances are that some of the other orders may be cancelled . But of course you cannot count on that . In any case , we'll let you know by email . +That's very considerate of you . And now , shall we discuss the insurance terms ? +We generally insure W . P . ( W . P . A ) on a C . I . F . offer . Special risks , such as TEND ( Theft , Pilferage and Non-delivery ) , leakage , breakage , oil , freshwater , etc . can also be covered upon request . +I suppose the additional premium for the special coverage is for the buyer's account . +Quite right . According to the usual practice in international trade , special risks are not covered unless the buyer asks for them . +Then what about SICC ( Strikes , Riots and Civil Commotions ) ? Can we request you to cover this for our imports ? +Yes , we accept it now , after it has been suspended for many years . However , if you want to have it covered for your imports at your end , you may arrange the insurance as you like . +Then please cover W . P . A . and TEND for this transaction . +All right , I'll adjust the price accordingly . +I wonder if you could allow us any discount for this commodity . It's the general practice that wholesalers usually get some discount from manufacturers or suppliers . +As a rule , we don't allow any discount . +But we usually get a discount of 3 % to 5 % from our other suppliers . Actually , some discount on your prices would make it easier for us to promote sales , you know . +That's true . But I am sorry I can't make an exception . We have quoted you our lowest price . We can't give you any more discounts . +Ladies and gentlemen , dear Mr . Simpson . Following the increasing communication between Unity Company and Pineapple Computer Company , we established steady cooperation . And today we all here feel very proud and honored to have Mr . Simpson with us . Mr . Simpson is well-known for his success and his career . So first of all , let me , on the behalf of all present here , extend our warm welcome and cordial greetings to our distinguished guest . Now let's invite Mr . Simpson to give us his speech . +I want to show my gratitude for your hospitality . And I believe me trip here will be meaningful and our cooperation will go deeper and stabler in near future . Through the communication , we can know more about each other . Thank you so much for your consideration . +Well , I also hope our cooperation will be never-ending . Thank you again . +May I have your resume , please ? +Yes , I need a job that can give full play to my skills . +Do you like a job in a library , working with books ? +I like peace.As a matter of fact , I once had a job in a library . +Hi ! Can I help you ? +Yes . We have reservations . +What's your name , sir ? +Jack Bates . +Yes , sir . We have your reservation . Could you fill out these forms , please ? +The reservation was for a double for three nights , wasn't it ? +Yes , sir . That's correct . How will you pay your bill , cash or credit card ? +Credit card . +Thank you , sir . You'll be staying in room 1910 . Here are your keys . The bellhop will take your luggage upstairs . Have a nice stay , sir . +Thanks . +Which window do I go to for parcel ? +Here will be OK . +I want to mail this package . +Please put it on the scale . Where are you mailing it to ? +Zhuhai . +Do you want to mail it by air or sea ? +What's the difference in price ? +25 yuan by air , 13 yuan by sea . +How long will it take by air ? +About 2 days . +Then I will send it by air , thank you . +Please fill out this form , and what's in your package ? +Just some souvenirs . +OK , that will be OK . +Thank you . +Good coming ! Welcome to J P Interior Design . +Hi , I saw the sign outside says that you do all kinds of interior design . +Yes , we do . Do you have any specific needs ? +Well , I am thinking about redesigning my kitchen . +Do you prefer some specific style ? +Yes , I prefer a more contemporary design . +What kind of color tones do you like ? +Blue , green or earth tone colors . I do not like the colors that are too bright . +I see . And what kind of feeling do you want to create for your kitchen ? +I'd like it to look simple , neat and relaxing . +Fine , we will take an actual look at your kitchen before start working on it . +No problem .

But French is not easy to learn . +Take it easy . I have the confidence to learn it well . +Oh . Henry . I haven't seen you in ages . Come in . Let me take your coat . How are you getting along ? +Very well , thank you . +Please take a seat . Everything will be ready in a minute . +Here you go .

Thank you . +Here's to our friendship and health ! +Bottoms up ! +The air conditioning is not working ! We need to call a handyman before we start to fry in here ! +Dan is on top of that . I think they are also getting the handyman to fix the bathroom toilet that keeps clogging up . +That would be convenient . They might as well ask him to fix the electrical wiring . The circuit breakers keep going out all the time . It ’ s really annoying ! +Yeah you are right . This office is falling apart ! Frank told me the other day that the gutters outside were clogged and that ’ s why the parking lot was flooded . +I know ! I was in ankle deep water trying to get to my car that day ! The handyman definitely has his work cut out for him . +Hello , Jenny . What's the matter ? +John , I'm hard up at the moment . Could you lend me five hundred yuan ? I'll return it to you early next month . +No problem , Jenny . Are you sure five hundred is enough ? +Yes . Thank you so much . +May I help you ? +Give me a six-piece chicken nuggets , a large fry and a large Coke . +You need to wait a few minutes for the fries . They are still in the flyer . +That's fine . +Your total comes to $ 7 . +Here's a twenty note . +Thank you . Your cash back is $ 13 . Pull into a parking space . And we'll bring out your fries in two minutes . +Thanks . +Hi , I'd like to have a beer . +Hi , good evening . Which kind of beer would you like ? +I'd like to try a local beer .

Don't worry . It's nothing serious . +Do you think I should lie in bed ? +Yes , stay in bed and drink a lot of water . Your fever will be gone in a day or two . +OK . Do you think I can play football tomorrow ? +Of course not . You need a good rest . +OK , I'll listen to you . +Hello . This is Bell Canada . How can I help you ? +Hi . This is Amy Yang .

One moment , please , while I transfer you to my supervisor . +You don ’ t look so good . +I have a major stomachache +Did you eat something strange ? +I had spaghetti with clam sauce for lunch . +Maybe you have food poisoning . +Yes , that could have been it , but I haven ’ t been feeling that great for the past few days . +Are you under a lot of stress ? +Not really .

But what else does it say ? +If you want to ask for leave , you should get the approval from the manager in charge of your department . +But if there is an emergency and the manager is of absence , what should we do ? +The note says you should call your manager first , and then tell him your reason , and then ask him for the approval . +OK , OK , got it .

These are companies that have been mismanaged and are now nearly bankrupt . +I see . But , many supporters of the bailout argue that it could help save the jobs of millions of hardworking Americans . +That maybe true , and I for one don ’ t want to see anyone lose their job , but how can these Ces ask for a bailout when they ’ re making millions of dollars ?

Go straight on down this road , take the second left and then the first right . It ’ s next to Tiananmen Square . +Thanks . +Don ’ t mention it . +I went to visit a customer in IVS Company the other day . Their offices were very impressive , especially their company Logo which is all over the place . There are Logo models in metal , copper , clove , paper . They are even printed on the wall paper and the balls of the table-lights . It is really decorated identity . +It is just too much . Don ’ t you feel it is an exaggerating style to decorate offices in that way ? +Not at all ! I like the design so much . The designer must have thought really hard to come out with such a brilliant concept . +Well , I doubt that . +What would you like for dessert ? +What do you have ? +I have apple pie , ice cream , chocolate cake and fruit cocktail . +Can I have apple pie with ice cream ? +Of course . I made apple pie this morning , so it ’ s lovely and fresh . +I love you home made apple pie . It ’ s delicious . Can I have another glass of lemonade as well ? +Sure . Can you get it yourself ? It ’ s in the refrigerator . +Ok . Would you like a drink too ? +Yes . I ’ ll have an ice tea . You ’ ll see it next to the lemonade . +Are you having any dessert ? +I ’ ll have apple pie too , but without ice cream . I have to watch my weight . +Excuse me.We ordered too much.May we take the food home ? +Yes , surely . +Do we have to pay extra charge for that ? +No , you don't . It is free of charge . +Well , then , will you put this and that into doggie bags ? +Yes , certainly.Would you wait for a few minutes ? +Thanks.Would you do me another favor ? +Yes , what is it ? +Some more Chinese tea for us , please . +Sure .

Will you be there ? +I will not be home . +I can always use my key to get in , but I would prefer that you be there . +I was trying to find the class on preparing for interviews . +You have found your way to the interview class . Please come in ! +I am so happy I found this class because I was really nervous about my upcoming interview . +When we go into an interview , what do you think our first consideration should be ? +Our dress and grooming are probably the first thing an interviewer judges us by . +Friendliness and a good attitude are also very important . +Yes , and they help establish a friendly tone for the rest of the interview . +The interviewers always are interested in what you ask them about their company . +What else should I be thinking about ? +Be yourself and be honest . Simply answer the questions put to you . +You ’ re working hard , George . What are you doing ? +I ’ m making a bookcase . Give me that hammer please , Dan . +Which hammer . This one ? +No , not that one . The big one . +Here you are . +Thanks , Dan . +What are you going to do now , George ? +I ’ m going to paint it . +What colour are you going to paint it ? +I ’ m going to paint it pink . +Pink ! +This bookcase isn ’ t for me .

I don't have enough for you . +I'm starving , as I didn't eat yet today . +I really don't have enough money . +My stomach feels so empty . +Well , why don't you ask Bob for some money ? I'm hungry too . +I'll be getting money on Friday , and I'll get it back to you then . +Okay , so on Friday , you can buy yourself something to eat . +That's not nice . +You can always go home and make something to eat . +I can't go home yet , because I have things to do here . +Sorry . That's not my fault . +It's your turn , sir.Sorry to keep you waiting . +That's all right . +How do you want your hair cut ? Any particular way ? +I'd just like a trim and don't make it too short . +How about the sides ? +A little trimming , please.Trim a little more above the ears . +How can I help you ? +Yes , I would like to look at some of your products . I think what I am using now does not fit me well . +We have a full range of products from cosmetics to skin cleansers . +What do you have in foundation ? +Our foundation is of very super quality . We only use the finest ingredients . It will moisturize your skin and it can protect your skin from UVA and UVB . +What colors do you have in foundation ? +Let me show you . We have six colors +The color I use now is natural beige . How much do you sell it for ? +250 Yuan . +That's expensive . +What you're paying for , madam , is the ingredients . it provides a soft and perfect finish coverage with a weightless feel . +I understand . I need a lipstick , too . Do you have lipsticks in red ? +Of course . But I suggest you buy a lipgloss . The shining effect is in . +All right . How much is it ? +45 Yuan . If you buy the two , you can get a small bottle of nail polish for free . +Well , I'll take them . +Why do you want to join us ? +The reason for my application for this position is simple . My educational background and professional experience make me qualified for the job . +Do you have any particular conditions that you would like the company to take into consideration ? +Oh , just one thing , could you give me some ideas of the pay ? +What salary do you get for your present position ? +2,000 RIB per month . +What starting salary would you expect here ? +3,000 RIB per month . +No problem , we pay 3,000 RIB per month . Plus a 20 % commission on all , a company car and other benefits . All travelling expenses will be reimbursed by the company . Do you have any other questions ? +No , that's all . +Did I do well on my driving test ? +You did a wonderful job . +So , I passed ? +Yes , you passed . +Did I mess up on anything ? +You did mess up on something . +What was that ? +Your parallel parking isn't all that great . +Yeah , that's pretty hard for me . +You just need a little more practice . +I know , but I still get my license , right ? +You got it . +What's your plan for your future ? +I'd like to work in a law firm to enrich my experience and put what I've learned into practice . +Have you had any previous experience ? +Well . During the college years , I worked as a trainee every summer at lawyer's offices . Does that count ? +Of course it counts . What kind of work did you do there ? +I did clerical stuff and ran errands . +In this office , we encourage full attendance by offering a bonus . If you take any leaves , we'll deduct money from your salary . +May I know about the office hours ? +Office hours are nine to five-thirty . One hour for lunch . Do you have any questions ? +Er , may I know how much I will be paid monthly ? +We'll give you about 3000 to start . There'll be a trial period of three month . After six months , we'll have a job performance review and consider giving you a raise . +When will I know your decision ? +I'll call you in a day or two , did you write down your phone number on your resume ? +Yes , I did . Can you call after 7 p . m . ? I'm usually out in the daytime . +All right . Good-bye . +Good-bye . +Would you like to order anything else ? +No , I'm good . All we need now is our check . +Our waitress has been kind of scarce tonight , hasn't she ? +I think that is our waitress is over by the bar . Boy , the service has not been good this evening . +She doesn't appear to be headed this way , so I will go get the check . +Good . Just bring it back and we'll total it together . +Our total for dinner is $ 36.00 . +What do you think would be the right amount to tip ? +I kind of don't want to leave any tip for the lousy service we received . +I agree that it was bad service , but I heard one of the other waiters mentioning that it was our server's first night on the job . +I believe that 10 % is just about right amount . +I think that a tip of $ 3.60 will be the right amount to leave . +Are you okay , man ? You don ’ t look very well . +Ugh , I feel terrible . I went out last night with Trevor , and things got a little out of hand . +Nice ! So , where did you guys go ? +We hit a couple of local bars , and met up with some friends . Everything was cool until Mike came along , and it turned out that it was his birthday yesterday ! +Oh no ! Mike ’ s birthday is a drinkfest for sure ! +Tell me about it ! We drank everything in the bar ! +Is that why you missed work today ? +Yeah . I woke up this morning feeling really nauseous . I threw up like five times . +Www ! +I was so dehydrated that I drank like a gallon of water , and my head has been pounding all day . I swear , I ’ m never gonna drink again ! +Too bad man , tonight is Tracy ’ s going away party and she asked if you were gonna go . +Oh , yeah . I ’ m there ! +Can you tell me how to apply for a job on the Internet ? +You just need to send an application . +Do I have to send one by e-mail ? +Yes . You are expected to know the e-mail address of the company . +What kind of strong suit do you get ? +I am accomplished in English and computer . Besides , I've got a Teacher's Certificate . +Do you want to be an instructor in the future ? +Yes . I regard instructor as a decent occupation and I love to be an instructor . +Lisa , I need some help here . +What is it , dear ? +Well , I need to get some female stuff . +You mean stuff like tampons and sanitary napkins ? +Yeah . I didn't know what they're called in English . +Follow me . All the things you need as a woman are in aisles 10 and 11 . This section is usually near the medicine section in any supermarket . +I'll keep that in mind . +Hello baseball fans , and welcome back to today ’ s game ! My name is Rick Fields and of course , I am here , once again , with the man that seals the deal , Bob Copeland . ' +It ’ s a beautiful day to see two world class teams face each other and fight for their right to be called champions . +Well , the national anthem has just been sung , and the umpire has started the game . It ’ s time to play ball ! +Roger Vargas is up at bat . The pitcher winds up and strike one ! +A very nice curve ball by the pitcher . The catcher gives him the sign , he winds up and Vargas gets a line drive ! +The players are scrambling to get the ball . Vargas gets to first base and he ’ s still going ! The outfielder throws it to second ! Vargas slides ! He ’ s safe ! +Great play ! +We have a runner on third and up at bat is Brian Okapi ! There ’ s the pitch , he hits it ! It ’ s going , going , that ball is gone ! +Home run by Okapi ! That puts this team ahead by two as we are at the bottom of the fifth inning here at Richie Stadium ! +Do you want to buy something here ? +These shoes are great ! What is the price of this ? +This one is two hundred yuan . +That's too much ! +Alan , I believe you have studied our catalogue and price list . Are you interested in some of our products ? +Yes , I'm thinking of buying some T-shirts , but I find your price is on the high side . +I'm very surprised to hear you say that . I think our price is very favorable . You can hardly get such an attractive price from other suppliers . +I'm not so sure of that . I think it's difficult for me to push sales at such a price . +What's your proposal then ? +I think to get the business done , you should at least reduce the price by 20 % . +We could take a cut on the price if your order is a large one , but a 20 % reduction is really more than we can do . What quantity are you going to order from us then ? +As a trial order , I'll take 5,000 dozen this time . +5,000 dozen is by no means a large order . In that case , the best I can do is to give you a 5 % reduction . +That's really a big change from 20 % . I really can't accept that . +What's your counter-offer then ? +To conclude the deal , I'd say a reduction of at least 15 % would help . +15 % is impossible . That'll leave us almost no profit . +If that's the case , I'll have to go somewhere else to meet my needs . +How about doing it this way ? You increase your quantity to 8,000 dozen and I'll give you a l0 % reduction . +8000 would be too large a figure to be used for a trial . +Well , to encourage future business , I'm prepared to reduce the price by 10 % . We can't go any further . +Ok . Let's call it a deal . +Roger ? I need figures for accounting . Have finished the calculations ? +I ’ m just finishing now , ma ’ am . I ’ ll have them ready within the hour . +All right , thanks . +You ’ re welcome , ma ’ am . I ’ ll call you when they ’ re ready . +How ’ s it going ? +I ’ m great . Thanks . +What do you need ? +I need to know if I have any fees to pay . +Actually , you do owe some fees . +How much do I owe ? +Your fees total $ 235.13 . +That ’ s crazy ! +You need to pay these fees soon . +Can I do that right now ? +Will you be paying with cash or check ? +I think I ’ ll be paying with cash . +Thanks for your help . +No problem . +There's a question I'm not sure whether it is suitable to ask . +You know that I have no secrets toward you . +When you go dinner with John , who foots the bill ? +Why asking that ? It's often the sort of Dutch treat . +Is Betty Sue in her office ? +I ’ m sorry . She ’ s in a meeting right now . +I see . +Can I give her a message for you ? +Yes , please tell her I stopped by . +And your name , please ? +Ted . Oh , and could you give her this document for me ? +Certainly . +Good evening . +Good evening . Could you let us have a double room ? +How long will you be staying ? +A week or ten days . We'd like to have a quiet room , if possible-not too near the street . +Let me see . Yes , you can have Room 313 . It's at the back . +What's the price per day ' ? And are the meals included or extra ? +20 pounds per day , including breakfast . +All right , we'll take it . +Very good , sir . Will you register , please ? +OK . +Thank you . The porter will show you to your room +Sally , do you really need to go ? +Yeah.It ' s a must for me . +But don't forget to give me a ring . +I won't , mum . +Hello , Anna . Come in and sit down . +Hello , doctor . +What's the matter ? +I've got a backache . +Do you often suffer from backache ? +No , I don't . I've never had a bad one before . +When did it start ? +About four days ago . +Well , go home and rest in bed for two days , then you'll feel better . +Can you give me some medicine ? It's very painful . +Yes , I'll give you some pills . Take one a time and three times a day , and come back in three days . If you don't feel ... +What do you want to know about me ? +How about your academic records at college ? +The average grade of all my courses is above 85 . +In which subject did you get the highest marks ? +In mathematics I got a 98 . +Have you received any scholarships ? +Yes , I have , and three times in total . +Have you been a class leader ? +I have been a class commissary in charge of studies for two years . +Did you join in any club activities ? +I was an aerobics team member in college . +What sport are you good at ? +I am good at sprint and table tennis . +You are excellent . +What do you think of the most important things to do when running a business ? +Well , there are several things . Of course , you must do everything you can to keep costs down and revenues high . +So , do you think workers should be paid as little as possible ? +No . if you do that , the workers won ’ t like their jobs . They will be less efficient and you will get a high staff turnover . Those things will increase you costs . +How can a business maximise revenues ? +You need to invest in some good advertising . You have to know where your potential customers are and target them . It ’ s no good trying to sell computer games to older people . The market is too small . +What else do you suggest ? +Find out what other companies charge for the same products or services . Price yourself near the low end . Don ’ t be much cheaper than everyone else , because many customers distrust very cheap things . Th +Excuse me . +Yes ? How can I help you ? +Are these drinks on sale this weekend ? +Yes . +Can I buy more than one case ? +Yes . The limit is four per family . +Okay , I ’ ll take four , please . You saved me a lot . +I know . This is a really good bargain . +Thanks . +No problem . +Hey , Mark , long time no see . +Julie ! It's good to see you again . How have you been ? +Great . I just got back from a week's vacation in Thailand . +Really ? How was it ? +Fantastic ! I didn't want to come back . +I hear the beaches in Thailand are beautiful . +They are . And not only that the people are friendly , but also the food is delicious , not to mention cheap . +I do like Thai food . Did you see much of Bangkok ? +Not much . I've go enough city life in Beijing . +I know what you mean . I could use a vacation myself . +Hey , wouldn't it be great if we could go to Thailand together sometime ? +Yeah , it sure would . +I am so excited ! +Excited about what ? +I just voted . +Is this the first time you ’ Ve voted ? +Yes , I just had my 18th birthday this year . +That ’ s lucky . +Why is that ? +You turned 18 in an election year . +I didn ’ t think about it like that . +Really ? +No , but that makes me even more excited . +You ’ re a part of history . +Let's start out to discuss the question of payment terms . +I suppose you know very well that we require irrevocable letters of credit payable against presentation of shipping documents . +I fully understand your position . An irrevocable letter of credit ensures that the seller gets paid in time . But , on the other hand it would add to the buying costs . We've been , after all , trading partners for 3 years and you know us well . Can't you give us D / A or D / P ? +I'm afraid it has been our practice so far to insist on payment by L / C . +But on our part , our government is reluctant to approve of L / C payment for our imports . And there is the licensing problem . +I understand that . Still , I'm not in a position to help you . Maybe we could do something later when we have had more and larger deals together . +Can I get some medicine to help me ? +For your high blood pressure , we have several choices of medications . +What types of drugs can I try ? +Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps you with water retention . +What about side effects from that medication ? +Most people have no side effects . You will have to make sure that you drink plenty of liquids with this medication . +Do I only need to take that one drug ? +I am going to add a second drug for now , Lisinopril , which is an ACE inhibitor . +What can I expect when I take that medication ? +You will feel much better except for the fact that you might have a little cough . +Look at the catalogue , John . I think I want to get this red blouse +Don't you have one like this in blue ? +Yah , but it doesn't have a red one . +Do you need every color in the rainbow ? +Yes ! +Ze ze ze ... Women ! +Are you watching another news report about the war ? +Yes . The two sides declared a short ceasefire but it broke down earlier today . Several military target were destroyed by bombing . Many civilians were among the dead and wounded . +How did this war start ? +Bout side claim a small area of territory . Both sides tried to build border fences and began attacking each other . +Politicians from both sides sound increasingly belligerent . Neither side wants to compromise . +Relief agencies report that many civilians are in desperate need of food and shelter . Several European countries have agreed to send aid , but are afraid that their planes will be shot down . +What do you think will happen ? +Both countries are very poor . Soon they will run out of money to finance the war . Then , perhaps , they will negotiate . +It would be much simpler and cheaper if they negotiated first . +Great . The bed is exactly what I have been looking for ! +You have good taste . It's made of red wood . +Oh , I like red wood . How much do you charge for it ? +300 dollars . +That's sheer robbery ! +Believe me , it's worth the price . +It's more than I can afford . Can I make an offer ? +How much are you willing to pay ? +Shall we make it 250 dollars ? +No . That price would hardly cover the cost . +What about 260 dollars ? +275 dollars is the lowest price I can offer . +It's a deal . +Mr . Wilson . We very regret the mistakes in goods . I am very sorry and we are responsible for the mistake . +We have no choice but to hold you responsible for the loss we sustained . +The first problem is supposed to be solved after the investigation . About the second problem , I admit it's our fault , so we will exchange all merchandise that falls short of our sample . +Well . I hope there won't be such things . +I can assure you that such a thing today will never happen again in future delivery . We have made the plan to improve the package of our exported goods . +What are you doing to your house ? +We're redecorating our living room . +What are you going to do to it ? +First , we're going to change the curtains , then we're going to paint the walls . +What colour are you going to paint them ? +Pale yellow . +What else are you going to do ? +We're going to put in some new furniture . +Can you give me a hand with my luggage ? +Of course . +Well , this apartment is really a must-see . Will you come with me to look at it this weekend ? +Sure . And if you rent it , maybe I can help you find a roommate too . +Great ! Do you know someone else who is also looking for an apartment ? +Yes , my friend Steve . I'll introduce you . +Can you lend me some money ? +I am sorry . I've already gone through my paycheck for the week . +You ’ Ve gone through all your money so quickly ? I thought you were well-off . +Not me . You know money always burns a hole in my pocket . +You'v been work here for nearly a month , how do you feel about the job ? +Not bad . Thank you for your help . I am always busy with this job , I feel a bit tired . +I had the same feeling when I first came to work here . but after a period of time , I feel better , I am sure you ' ll get used to this busy job . +I also feel that work efficiency here is very high . and you have strong working ability and professional skill , it seems that you know all , that's really wonderful ! +You know the phrase the survival of the fittest . We have no choices . +That's right , I have to work . +Do you know a bus that goes to the Gold Line station ? +Do you live in Pasadena ? +My house is up in Altadena . +You could always take the 264 . +It'll really take me to the station ? +It goes all the way there . +Do you know what street it goes on ? +Catch it on Altadena Drive . +I would've never known . +Now you know . +I appreciate you telling me . +No problem . +Honey , we are all out of wine and cheese . Do you mind running to the deli and picking up a few things ? +Can ’ t it wait ? I ’ m watching the game right now ! +Your friends and family are coming over tonight and we still need to get a lot of things . +Fine ! What do you need ? +OK , pick up some cured meats to go with the wine . Maybe a pound of polish sausages , ham , liverwurst , salami and any other cold cuts that are on sale . I think I saw a promotion for pastrami . Also get some cole slaw and a jar of olives . +Whoa wait a minute ! Isn ’ t that a bit too much ? I mean , how much is all of this going to cost ! +Never mind that . Get some dips as well . Get a jar of spinach and blue cheese dip and also some Tzatziki . If they have bean dip get that as well . Last but not least , get some pickles . +Is that all , your majesty ? +Very funny ! Get a move on ! People will be here any minute . +Hello , who's that speaking ? +I am calling about the advertisement for a flat with a bedroom . Do you still have it now ? +Yes , I do . +Is there any furniture in it ? +Yes , it's fully furnished . +What's the rent for a year ? +15,000 Yuan , including water , but electricity and gas . +Where is it located ? +It's in International Trade Zone . It's only ten minutes ' walk from the nearest subway station . +That's great . But can you make the rent cheaper , let's see , 12,000 Yuan ? +The price can be talked over . How about coming around and taking a look at it first ? +OK . I will be free at tomorrow afternoon . I'll take a taxi to get there . +All right , see you . +Mr . Black , I ' d like to take some time off . I ' Ve been feeling exhausted these days . +That's no problem . Let me see ... You still have ten days annual leave left , is that right ? +Yes . I was wondering if I could take another two weeks off . +That's long leave . How's your project coming along ? +The project I'm in charged of now will be done by the end of this week . I'd like to take my leave from next Monday on . +Well , all right . But you make sure to tie up loose ends before you leave . +Thank you , Mr.Black . There are no immediate projects coming up at the moment . Mr.Smith will be in charge during my absence . He is taking part in several projects as my assistant and knows how to maintain relationships with our clients . +Great ! I hope you have a good relaxation and come back refreshed . +I will . Many thanks , Mr.Black . +Oh , look at those earrings , Maria . They're perfect for you . +These red ones ? I'm not sure . +No , the yellow ones . +Oh , these ? Hmm ... Yellow isn't a good color for me . +Well , that necklace isn't bad . +Which one ? +That blue one right there . How much is it ? +It's $ 42 ! ! That's expensive ! +Hey , let me get it for you . It's your birthday present . +We need to figure out how much money we ’ re spending and what we ’ re spending it on . +Why ? +Well , I think we could be saving more . +Really , well , o . k . Get the receipts out . +Let ’ s see . We spent $ 700 dollars for our home loan payment , $ 400 on groceries , $ 75 on utilities , $ 250 on gasoline , $ 100 on books , and $ 300 on entertainment last month . +That ’ s $ 1825 . +We put $ 500 into the savings account , and $ 750 into our stock account . +$ 3075 . Our paychecks our $ 3300 , combined . That means we don ’ t have any receipts for $ 225 . +Right . +Excuse me.Have you got any books on genetic engineering ? I've looked for them everywhere , but I can't find any . +I'm not sure if we've got any now.Books of that kind are on this shelf.Well , I'm afraid we've sold out . +What a pity ! I should have come earlier . +Come some time next week if you like . I think we'll have got some by them . +Ok , I will . +This is the schedule for the project . Any comments or questions ? +I think we'll need more time than the schedule gives us . +Don't worry . These dates are only targets . +Howdy ! Nice car ! What seems to be the problem ? +I don ’ t know ! This stupid old car started spewing white smoke and it just died on me . Luckily , I managed to start it up and drive it here . What do you think it is ? +Not sure yet.How about you pop the hood and we can take a look . Mmmm , it doesn ’ t look good . +What do you mean ? My daddy gave me this car for my birthday last month . It ’ s brand new ! +Well missy , the white smoke that you saw is steam from the radiator . You overheated your engine so now the pistons are busted and so is your transmission . You should have called us and we could have towed you over here when your car died . +Ugh ... So how long is this going to take ? An hour ? +I ’ m afraid a bit more than that . We need to order the spare parts , take apart your electrical system , fuel pump and engine and then put it back together again . You are going to have to leave it here for at least two weeks . +What ! How am I supposed to get to school or go shopping ? This is not happening ! +May I use your phone ? +Go ahead . +Good morning . SRC international . How may I help you ? +Good morning . I'd like to speak to Peter . Chen Please . +Certainly . Who should I say is calling ? +This is Tim . Hunter from Hunter industries . +And what is it regarding please ? +We have an appointment for this afternoon . Mr.Chen will know why I'm calling . +Of course , Please hold the line Mr . Hunter . +Hello . Can I speak to Anne ? +Who ’ s calling ? +It ’ s Mike , her boyfriend . +Hold on , I ’ ll get her . +Thanks a lot . +Will you bring our bill , please ? +Yes , certainly . I'll be back in a minute.Here you are . +Thanks . Let me see . I think there's a mistake on the bill here . Would you mind checking , please ? +Of course not . Let me check . Oh , you seem to be correct . +How about taxes service charge ? +Only ten percent of taxes included in the bill . +Then 100 US dollars covers everything , doesn't it ? +It sure does . +This room is unfit for humans . I want another room , and I want a refund for tonight . +Perhaps if you would be kind enough to tell me the problem , sir . +In a word , cockroaches ! +Oh , no , are they back ? I'll give you another room immediately , sir , and a refund for tonight . +Thank you . I'm glad that you don't believe that your guests are liars . +Sir , without happy guests , we are nothing . +How are you doing today ? +Very well . Thank you . +What can I help you with ? +Do I have any fees to pay ? +As a matter of fact , you do . +How much ? +You owe $ 235.13 . +That ’ s unbelievable . +Will you be paying some of that off today ? +I want to pay all of it off today . +How will you be paying ? +I ’ ll be paying with cash . +Hello , Sunshine Travel Agency . +Hello . Is there a package tour to Beijing ? +Well , let me see . We have a nice one on which we still have several unfilled places . +Does the tour have a Chinese-speaking guide ? +Yes , sir . +What is the cost of the tour ? +Five hundred dollars altogether . +It's a bit expensive . Can you tell me the schedule ? +Yes , I will introduce the itinerary in detail . +Well , do you have any experience in guiding ? +Yes , but I only have few experiences . I guided a few groups of foreign tourists from America last winter vacation . I showed them around some places of interest . +What places of interest did you show them ? +Too many . I will just give you one example , Huangguoshu Falls , the largest waler-fall in China . +After you +Thank you ! +What's the weather like in your country ? I suppose it must be warmer than here . +Oh , yes . We have rather mild winters . It always has much sunshine in winter . But it was very foggy when I left two days ago . I knew it would be colder here , but I thought there would be a lot of snow . +We don't have much snow in winter in Beijing . In fact , we haven't had any so far this winter . The winter is rather long , but the cold is generally not severe . The temperature seldom gets as low as ten below zero Centigrade . +What is the temperature today , do you know ? +About freezing point , I think.But the morning's forecast said that we are going to have a very cold spell in the next few days - and the temperature will probably drop to 10 or 15 degrees below zero . +Oh , I'm very lucky that my wife let me take a heavy overcoat . +It is considerate of your wife . +Yes , she is . By the way , what is the best season in Beijing ? +Fall is the best season in Beijing . It's neither hot nor cold . The sky is clear and blue . There's hardly any wind , only a slight breeze which is hardly noticeable . And we have plenty of sunshine too . +Really ? Then I will come to Beijing in the fall next time . +Good , you are welcome . +do you like music ? +well , it depends . +do you think this music is warm matched ? +of course yes . +how about the lyrics ? +very touching . +it bring me back to some of my childhood memories . +yes , it is so . i love songs that take me to some places i have not been or have been for a long time . it is fun and exciting . +of course.it is really fantastic too , and it makes me eager to dance . +it is full of energy . +this song is really worthy listening to and enjoying . +it certainly is . +Now please tell me something about your achievements in your work unit . +All right . In my first teaching position I received the Excellent Teaching award the past two years in succession . +Have you received any other honors ? +Yes . I was chosen as one of ' the Top Ten Prominent Youths of Beijing ' in 2002 . +Do you have anything published ? +Yes . I have got two articles in English in The International Youth Writer's Collection . +hello , do you remember me ? I bought some vases from you yesterday . +yes , you sent them to New York , right ? +that's right . I thought I'd come back to buy some more souvenirs . +what did you in mind ? +well , first , I'd like to buy a few postcards . My sister used to always send a postcard to herself whenever she went anywhere . I want to do that , too . +we have plenty of postcards to choose from here . The same designs can be found on these posters . +posters are difficult to travel with . I think I'll just buy the postcards . I heard that you might also have some of the masks that are made in Venice . +yes , we do . They're on the wall behind you . +how much do they cost ? +the prices are clearly marked on the back of each mask . Would you like me to get one down for you to look at ? +yes , I think I'd like the green mask in the middle . +here you go . +I'll take it , I'd also like to buy some chocolate . +are you looking for some homemade chocolate as a gift . +yes , it's my girlfriend's birthday today and she loves chocolate . +we've got plenty to choose from here . +they look delicious . I think she'll be pleased . +Hello , could I speak to Allison , please ? +I'm sorry ; he's out at the moment . +When do you expect him back ? +I think he'll be back in about an hour at least . +Well , may I leave a message ? +Yes , of course . +Would you please ask him to call Chris when he gets back ? +Ok . Does he know your number ? +I'm afraid he doesn't . My mobile is 139- 2477 - 4026 . +13924774026 . All right . Thanks for calling . Oh , hang on , someone's at the door that may be him , please hold on . +Hello , Miss , what can I do for you this afternoon ? +I need the haircut . But you seem so busy today . +Yes , it is , busy today . We usually have a lot more clients on the weekend . Would you like to take a sit , and wait for a while , please ? +Ok , but how long I have to wait , it is going to be more than 30 minutes . +It should be around that , if you like , please for a free to read the magazine while you are wait . +Thank you . +Sorry to keep you waiting , Miss . I'll have a dresser Mr.Li is just finish with a client in a moment or two . Would you have a shampoo first ? I'll get it on for you . +Ok , thanks . +Come on , Let's go for lunch , Gregory . +I was going to eat in , I'm short on cash . +Don't worry about it.It ' s on me . +In that case , I'm with you . Em.this is good . +I agreed , Hi , guess what ? I went bungee jumping last weekend . +Are you on the up and up ? +Definitely . you know , I'm into serious sport in a big way . +If you asked me , you've got a screw loose somewhere . +come off it , It's not that serious . You should DIY ( do it yourself ) sometime . +Fat chance , I'm too scared of bungee jumping . +No , really , I think you'd like it . I adapted to it right off the bat . +What did that have to do with me ? I'm not the self-seeker like you . +I can teach you how . +I had a sneaking suspicion about you , Eric , I think you've lost it . +No , not really , but I think I have lost my wallet . Where can it be ? +Hello there ! Come on in ! Don ’ t just stand there ! Come and take a seat ! +Um , okay . Well , I just want a trim . Nothing too fancy . +Oh my gosh ! Your hair is amazing ! So silky , so shiny ! I am going to work my magic on your hair ! You hear me ? You are going to look like a million bucks ! +Okay . Um ... can you make sure my sideburns are even and you just take a little off the top . +Don ’ t you worry , I ’ ll take care of everything ! ( starts cutting ) Oh my god ! I just love your curly hair ! It ’ s so fluffy and cute ! You should totally let it grow out . An afro would look great on you ! +Um ... no . +Okay , but you are going to be my masterpiece ! +Let's have lunch together today . +It's a good idea . +I want a Hamburger and ice cream . What about you ? +I don't like Hamburgers . They have no taste . +What about cheese cake or apple pie ? +Maybe I want an apple pie . +How often are stockholders meetings held ? +Stockholders meetings are held biannually . Usually the meetings are scheduled for spring and fall . In between the meetings , each stockholder receives biannual reports . Financial statements are made once a year . +What percentage of the stockholders actually attend the meetings ? I'm guessing not a large percentage ... +You're right , it's a low percentage . Also , in order to attend meetings , you have to hold a certain amount of shares . It's quite a large number , so most of the stockers are excluded from proceedings . +So , how much say do the stockholders really have ? +Unless they're united , very little ... +May I take your order now ? +Yes , bring me a bottle of wine and filet steak . +Do you want some salad dressing ? +Yes , what kind do you have ? +We have Italian , French , thousand island and blue cheese . +I think French will be fine . +Where is it ? +I'm going to the Golden hotel . +Get in , please . +Thank you . I have an appointment with an important client at 10 +Don't worry , you'll be there plenty of time . That is it . 7.15 $ , please . +Thank you.here ' s 10 $ , just give me 1 $ back , please . +Mr . Jones , shall we now discuss the packaging ? +Very well . You know , we have definite ways of packaging garments . As to blouses , we use a polythene wrapper for each article , all ready for window display . +Good . A wrapping that catches the eye will certainly help push the sales . With competition from similar garments producers , the merchandise must not only be good value but also look attractive . +Right you are . We'll see to it that the blouses appeal to the eye as well as to the purse . +What about the outer packing ? +We'll pack them 10 dozens to one carton , gross weight around 25 kilos a carton . +Cartons ? +Yes , corrugated cardboard boxes . +Could you use wooden cases instead ? +Why use wooden cases ? +I'm afraid the cardboard boxes are not strong enough for such a heavy load . +The cartons are comparatively light , and therefore easy to handle . They won't be stowed away with the heavy cargo . The stevedores will see to that . Besides , we'll reinforce the cartons with straps . Silk blouses are not fragile goods . They can stand a lot of jolting . +Maybe you are right , but the goods are to be transhipped at Hamburg or London . If the boxes are moved about on an open wharf , the dampness or rain may get into them . This would make the blouses spotted or ruined . +No need to worry about that . The cartons lined with plastic sheets are waterproof , and as the boxes are made of cardboard , they will be handled with care . +Well , I don't want to take any chances . Besides , cartons are easy to cut open , and this increases the risk of pilferage . +Tampering with cartons is easily detected . I should say that this rather discourages pilferage . +Maybe so , but I'm afraid that in case of damage or pilferage , the insurance company will refuse compensation on the ground of improper packing , or packing unsuitable for sea voyage . +But cartons are quite seaworthy . They are extensively used in our shipments to continental ports . There are never any complaints from our clients , and our insurance company has also approved such packing for W . P . A . and T . P . N . D . +If you could guarantee compensation in case the insurance com - any refuses to honor a claim for faulty packing , we would be quite willing to accept cartons . +I'm sorry , but we can't take on any responsibility that is beyond our functions and powers . We'll make sure that the packing is seaworthy , but we can't commit ourselves to being responsible for every kind of mishap . +I can understand your position . Perhaps I'm asking too much . +We'll use wooden cases if you insist , but the charge for packing will be considerably higher , and it also slows delivery . +Well , I'll call you immediately for instructions on the matter . +Please do . I'll be waiting for your reply . +Oh , my god . What happened ? Are we dying ? +Don ’ t sweat it . We will land safely . +Well , thank you . Mr.Parry , for all your information . Just one more question . +Yes , sir ? +Do you play any sports or games ? +I used to play football regularly when I was at university . And I used to do athletics in the summer . +And what athletics did you play ? Can you remember ? +I was a runner-a long-distance runner . +And now ? +No . I'm afraid I haven't had time since I got married . +Well , thank you again for coming to see us . But just remember that we like people who join the company to play in the company sports teams . +Certainly , sir . +Oh , dear ! which dress should I choose ? I can't make up my mind . Please help me . +You know I don't know anything about fashion . +Which dress do you like best ? +Well , they are both all right . +Only all right ? +Oh , no . I mean you look very nice in both of them . +Mike , that's no help to me at all . I can't wear both of them at the same time . I want a decision . +But after all , it is your decision , not mine . +Oh , yes . The green dress is very smart . but I can't be sure if it goes with a hat . +I'm looking for some fresh produce that's on sale . +Well , we just got in some mangoes . +Mangoes . What are they ? +Well , it's a fruit with a big nut in it . +Can you eat the nut ? +No , you peel off the skin and throw out the nut . +How much are they ? +Well , the sale price is $ 1 each . +What does a mango taste like ? +They're like a citrus fruit . +How do I know if it's ripe ? +You can buy them hard . Wait a few days for them to develop a soft feel . +Where do they come from ? +Most of them in this store are from Mexico . +Can I help you ? +I'd like a pair of sports shoes . +Well , we have all kinds of sports shoes.Could you tell me what kind of sport you usually do ? +I just like jogging . +OK , then you can buy a pair of jogging shoes.Here are jogging shoes.Which pair do you like best ? +Er ... , that blue pair . I need size 43 , please . +Here you are.You can try them on . +Very comfortable . I'll take them . +Good morning . Mrs.Smith . +Good morning ! Can you help me , please ? I'm looking for some books for my mother . +Well , what kind of books does she like ? +She's very fond of detective stories ? +I see . Has she read any detective stories ? +Oh , yes ! +Do you know if she's read this one ? +I'm not sure , but she probably won't remember if she has ! She's very forgetful ! +Ah ! She has a bad memory . How old is she ? +She's eighty-seven . +I suggest you take this book . It's very exciting . +Thank you . That's a good idea . she likes exciting books . Can you suggest another one ? +Good morning golf aficionados ! My name is Rick Fields , and you guessed it , I am here with my main man , Bob Copeland . +Thank you , Rick ! As you can see , ladies and gentleman , we are here in beautiful Pebble Beach where the top golfers in the world are trying to win the grand prize of one million dollars ! +Whoa , that ’ s a lot of cash ! Let ’ s go to the course and see how Tiger Woods is doing . +All right , we are here at the eighth hole . It ’ s a par four , and has some very difficult hazards which many golfers find difficult to avoid . Although , I did see Jack Nicklaus hit a hole in one on this very same hole ! +Tiger Woods is about to tee off , and let ’ s see if he has the same luck as Jack . Tiger is asking his caddie for his driver and , he seems to be very nervous . +Oh no ! Not a good swing at all ! It ’ s definitely not his day today . On the seventh hole he got a bogey and before that he barely made par . He will definitely not get a birdie on this shot . +It seems that his ball has flown somewhere deep in the trees . He is having a hard time finding it and even his caddie has climbed a tree to try and spot it . +Oh no ! A bear ! Run , Tiger , run ! Somebody call animal control ! +Excuse me , Mr . White ? I just need you to sign these before I leave . +Sure , Sherry . Sorry to have kept you waiting . If you hadn ’ t told me , I probably would have just forgotten all about them . +That ’ s my job , sir . Just one more signature here , please . +There you are . +Excuse me , but can you tell me the way to the railway station ? +Just go straight along this street , turn left at the first crossing and walk straight ahead about 100 meters . You can ’ t miss it . +About how long will it take me to get there ? +It ’ s about 20 minutes ’ walk , I think . +I see . Is there a bus I can take ? +Yes , you can take the No . 5 bus over there . Get off at the next stop . +Thank you so much for your help . +It ’ s my pleasure . +Welcome to the Consultancy Department , I'm Greg Wu . What can I assist you with today ? +I need to do a credit investigation on another company , but I'm worried it'll be a bit difficult . +How so ? +Well , it's an American company , you see . I'm worried that there will be too much red tape involved . +We are able to do credit investigations globally . You have no need to worry . +Really ? I have been told , by another bank , that it makes it difficult if you want to investigate a company which is registered outside China . +10 years ago , maybe yes . But nowadays we are a global village , it's easy to deal with any foreign country . +I'm not exactly prepared right now . How about I go back to the office , get the relevant information and come back before closing ? +I'll look forward to it and make sure all of the paperwork is ready and waiting . +I'll return at about 4:30 pm . See you then . +Welcome to McDonald's . Can I take your order ? +Please give me this extra value meal , a red bean pie , and one order of vegetable salad . +Would you like something to drink ? +A cup of hot orange juice . +Will that be it ? +Yes , that's all . +Oh , no . Charlie , where is my purse ? +Don ’ t you have it ? Did you lose it ? +Yes , I did . I lost it . It disappeared . +Myrdal , purse don ’ t just disappear . Think carefully . When did you have it last ? +I had it when I left the house . I had it when we start to get the hotdog . +OK . Let ’ go back to the hotdog stand . +You're in great shape , Keith . Do you work out at a gym ? +Yeah , I do . I guess I'm a real fitness freak . +So , how often do you work out ? +Well , I do aerobics every day after work . And then I play racquetball . +Say , I like racquetball , too . +Oh , do you want to play sometime ? +Uh ... how well do you play ? +Pretty well , I guess . +Well , all right . But I'm not very good . +No problem , Rod . I won't play too hard . +Why do you choose our company to apply for a job ? +I wish to have a job in which I can make good use of my strengths and have further improvement . And your company meets all my requirements . +Have you got a clear idea about our company ? +Yes , I have purposefully done some homework in advance . +Have you tried other companies ? +Actually , I have applied to several companies recently . But I am most satisfied with your company . +Will you take a job which is not in line with your major ? +Admittedly , I hope it is a job in line with my specialty . But I will make the best effort to do the job whatever is assigned to me . +How long would you work here if you were admitted ? +I would continue to work in the company as long as the job suits me well . +Do you expect a high salary ? +In my mind , salary is not the most important thing . +Hello ? Can you give me a tow ? My tour car's stranded . +Sure . Where are you ? +I'm on highway 1-75 going near exit 46 . +What kind of car ? +It's a blue Nissan minivan . +Where are you going to ? +The closest garage . What's the charge ? +You are within 50 kilometers , so it's a 50 - dollar flat rate . +How long will it take ? +About 20 to 30 minutes . +Thanks . +What are you going to eat with your sandwich ? +I think I'm going to eat a piece of fruit . +What kind do you like ? +I really like apples and grapes . +What kind of apples do you like ? +I love green apples . +I don't like green apples . +Really ? Why not ? +Green apples are too sour for me . +So , you like red apples better ? +Yeah , I love red apples . +I think green apples are a lot better . +hi , my name's Abby . What's your name ? +I'm colin . It's nice to meet you . What do you do ? +I'm a freelance English teacher . How about you ? +I'm in between jobs at the moment . +what kind of job are you looking for ? +I'd like to find a job with flexible hours in the IT field . +have you ever thought about becoming a freelance IT consultant ? +no . Is it difficult to find such a job ? +not if you are good at net-working . Do you like to meet new people ? +yes . I'm pretty out-going and friendly . +do you have experience in the IT field ? +I have some . I worked in the IT department at a language school for four years in Spain . +do you speak Spanish ? +yes , but not fluently . +that's OK . Have you sent your CV out to anyone yet ? +I've sent my CV to dozens of companies but nobody has got back to me . +did you write a clear objective in your resume ? +no , because I didn't know what I wanted to do . +I think you need to update your CV . Bring it over to my office tomorrow and I'll help you with it . +thanks , I will . I'll see you tomorrow then ! +I work so hard that I do not have the energy to exercise . +That is just an excuse . You can always find some time to exercise . +But I work hard all the time for long hours . Often I have no time for lunch . Yet , I am still getting fatter . +Bill , you know that work is not the same as exercise as it is stressful but not relaxing . And skipping meals will not help you lose weight.In fact your body will only store fat if you miss meals . +I know you're right , but what can I do ? +How about going for a walk instead of sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper after dinner every night ? +But I'll miss the news . It's important in my business to keep up with events in China . +I know , I know . Have you got a portable radio ? You can listen to the news and get healthy at the same time . +That's a good idea ! +I just called Mr . Smith in Room 201 , but there was no reply . Would you find out if he's still staying there ? +All right . One moment , please ... No , Mr . Smith checked out this morning . +Oh , he did ? May I have his forwarding address , please ? +I ' m afraid he didn ’ t leave one . +Can I give you a lift home , Mrs Word ? +That is very kind of you , Mr Lee . Thank you . +Could you hold my umbrella when I get my keys out , please ? +Of course . It ’ s a terrible night , isn ’ t it ? +Dreadful . There , the door is open now . +Thank you . +Hey , Ann . You don't have a pen , do you ? +Sure , here you go . +Thanks . I don't suppose you have some paper , too . +Of course . There you are . +Thanks so much . I owe you one . +How are you doing ? Pretty good , I imagine ? +Actually not so good . That's why we made a special trip to see you . +OK , let me hear it . I'd be glad to help if I can . +Good . I want to discuss with you the mode of payment for the construction of the power plant under negotiation . +Well , I trust that your presence will hasten the settlement of payment terms . +I would like to explain to you our financial position . The manufacture of machinery and its accessories and parts will consume both time and money . It takes five years to manufacture the machinery and we will have to advance the cost for the main machines to be produced , and besides this there are large sums to be paid to our subcontractors for the manufacture of the accessories and parts . +But for an enterprise of your size , an order from us will certainly not embarrass you financially . +Well , in fact , it is beyond our financial capability . +In what way can we solve the problem ? +Have you considered the possibility of a buyer's credit ? +Yes . But the sum is large , it must be provided by a group of banks . +So , we propose your company apply to Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation for a long-term loan . Six months before each shipment , you through Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation open , in our favour , an irrevocable , dividable L / C which is to remain valid for two months . +Well , we accept your suggestion . +Hello , is Mr Over there +Sorry , madam . I afraid you have a wrong number.we don't have Mr Over here . +I want 6420422 3 , is that right ? +No , you give a wrong number . +oh , I'm sorry to bother you . +That's all right . +What can I do for you ? +I ’ m in need of your services . +What do you need me for ? +I have a court date coming up . +What are you being charged with ? +It ’ s the felony charge . +I ’ m willing to provide my services . +What ’ s your rate ? +I work for $ 150 an hour . +That ’ s too high . +That ’ s what I charge . +I ’ ll hire you anyway . +Hello , miss . Can you bring me something to drink ? +Sure , sir . But there is a charge for alcoholic beverages in economy class . Would you please refer to this price list ? And then give me your order . +Thank you for reminding me . Well , please give me a glass of brandy and I will pay for it . +OK , I will bring it to you in a moment . +Good morning madam . What can I get you ? +I ’ d like a coffee please . +Certainly madam , what kind of coffee would you like ? +What have you got ? +Well we have espresso , cappuccino , latte , skinny latte or Americano . +Goodness me ! What a choice ! I think I ’ ll have a cappuccino please . +Here you are . You ’ ll find the sugar just over there . +Mr Ludlow , hello . It's good to see you again . What can we do for you today ? +Hello , I'm sorry it's been such a long time . I've been away on business . I'd like to discount this . +No problem . Could I please see the bill and all of the other documents ? +Yeah , sure . Here they are . Take your time going through them , I'm in no hurry . +There's no problem here , everything's in order .

This price is based on careful calculations . And it is the lowest price we can offer to you . +Can I get you something to drink ? +Sure , but I don't drink much .

It's so much easier than cash , to be honest ; nowadays I hardly ever use cash . I just put it on the card and pay off the balance every month . +You know it is not necessary to pay the balance in full every month . +Really ? +Yes , you will see on your monthly bill and statement the amount in full but also the minimum payment . +So , if for some reason I was having a bad month and spent a little too much I could just pay the minimum ? +Yes . As long as you keep making regular monthly payments , paying the minimum is just fine . Of course , your credit limit will be lowered accordingly . +How so ? +For example , if your credit limit is 5,000 RIB and you owe 1,000 RIB , your available credit will be 4,000 RIB .

I figure as long as there ’ s nothing wrong , why go see the doctor ? +Well , the best way to avoid serious illnesses is to find out about them early . So , try to come at least once a year for your own good . +O . K . +Let me see here . Your eyes and ears look fine . Take a deep breath , please . Do you smoke , Mr .

Maybe we could give him a little bit money to pay to go to school . +Pay him ? But he studies for himself , not for you or for me or for anybody else . I got an idea . You should send him to class every morning and after the class begins , you can go to work . +In that way , I'll be late every day . How about letting him go to school on school bus ? +That's a good idea . Why have I never thought of that ? +That's because I went to school for each class when I was at school .

They ’ re an IT service company that offers comprehensive business solutions for large corporations . They provide services such as ARM development , and they also offer customdesigned applications . +So what would your role in the company ? +Well , the position is for an account manager .

As you know , you ’ Ve missed a fairly significant deadline last week , and this will negativity impact the team ’ s ability to move forward with the next stages of this project . +I know , I ’ m really sorry that I missed the deadline . But really , it wasn ’ t my fault . You see , we had all of these unexpected technical problems at the last minute , and that I couldn ’ t get into the database and extract the kind of information that I needed for the data analysis . You know , if the tech guys would have done their job and kept the ARM stable , then I wouldn ’ t have missed my deadline . +Oh , come on ! An excuse like that is tantamount to lying . You ’ re essentially blaming the tech team for your time management issues , rather than accepting responsibility for the fact that you were procrastinating for the past two weeks . +No , I ’ m not trying to pass the buck here ; I know that it was me who is ultimately responsible for getting this done . But the thing is , I could have finished on time if the system hadn ’ t gone down . And you know , with everything I ’ Ve got going on now , I can ’ t afford to waste time dealing with technical problems . I ’ Ve got a lot on my plate and there are only twenty-four hours in a day ... +I ’ m not going to accept this excuse . You ’ re using these small technical glitches as a crutch and trying to rationalize the fact that you ’ Ve missed your deadline . Look , we have standards and I expect you to live up to those standards . No more phoney cases . If you ’ re in over your head , you tell me . No more missed deadlines . Now , I want that data on my desk by nine am ! +I'm afraid I have to return this sweater . +May I ask if there's anything wrong with it ? +You see , there is a run at the neck . +Oh , sorry.But do you want to change it for another one ? +No , thank you . +Welcome to IBA . Which service do you require ? +I hope you can help me . I've been told about something called ' Financing Link ' ? +Yes , that is our Personal Wealth Management Service . +Could you tell me more ? +Of course . Financing Link is a value-added service , and can be tailored to suit your requirements . +So , I can choose exactly what services I require ? That's brilliant .

Come on . +yes , cats are always gentle . and they don't need a lot of space since they're small . +but I think they're dull , aren't they ? +not at all . They're quiet most of the time.But they can be every bit as affectionate as dogs . +well , cats are certainly more independent . +absolutely . Believe it or not , I found my cat by a garbage can around my neighborhood two years ago . +oh , really ? so you just took home a stray cat ? +yes . It was starving and looking for something to eat when I saw it . +Poor cat . +now we get along very well . It makes me feel that I'm someone special . +Hello , housekeeping . Is there anything I can do for you ? +I would like to have my clothes washed . What's the rate ? +We charge $ 5 for a barrel . +OK , here are the clothes . +Please fill out the form sir . +Good afternoon , how can I be of service today ? +My company wants to become involved in your Comprehensive Credit Granting . We are a very young company and I'm not at all sure if we meet your credit requirements . +It is possible to take into account special circumstances , should the manager agree to it . If your credit rating has been class A in your initial trading period and your debt to asset ratio is sound , and then I'm sure the manager will see you to discuss it further . I'll set up a meeting for you . +That would be wonderful . Thank you so much for all of your help . +Ah ! It hurts . Don't touch it . +What part hurts ? +The shoulder . +Well , maybe you broke it .

Just don't move . +I'm bleeding too much . +We don't have a decent First Aid Kit , do we ? +Yes . My bike has one under the seat . Get it , quick ! +There's some tape , iodine , and cloth bandages . I don't think the cloth bandages can stop the bleeding . What we need is a tourniquet . +Wrap a few loops of the bandages around my upper arm , then twist.That will work as a tourniquet.After that , you can cut more of the bandages to cover the wound . +Good plan . Let me put some iodine on the cut . +No , forget that ! Do the tourniquet first . I'm losing too much blood . +Alright , alright . How did you cut this so bad ? +I ran it against that fence pole as I crashed . What do you think ? Damn , it hurts ! +We'll have to get you to a hospital . I can ride you on the back of my bike . +I'm lucky I wasn't killed . I must have been going around forty-five miles an hour.There was too much gravel on that corner . I slid out . +Yes , I almost slid too.Alright . This tourniquet is tight . How does it feel ? +Make it tighter . I want the blood stopped.Then wrap some bandages around the cut . Then we can go . Ouch ! I hope I can walk . +Alright , I'm twisting it around . You tell me when to stop . +There . Stop ! +I heard you will be going on a business trip . +Yes , I must go to Shanghai to attend a meeting about our plan . +How long will you be away ? +Six days or so . +Who will take your place ? +Harry . He has been assisting me on the plan . +Good choice . He is competent for the position . +Yes , he is familiar with the plan . +Mom , give me a glass of orange juice . +What the magic ward to say if you want something good to happen ? +Oh , sorry mom , i forgot.please give me a glass of orange juice . +Ok , here you are . +Oh , it is nice and cold , definitely good orange juice . +Amy , you forgot another magic word . +Oh , sorry again , thank you mom . +You are very welcome . +You've decided that you definitely want to purchase this particular one ? +To be honest , I haven't really done much research . +I would recommend that you at least glance through these brochures , just to make sure that you have selected the right policy for you .

If I could have your details again and your ID , I'll check them and we can go on . +Hello ? Hello ? +( No response ; Silence ) +Hello ? Who is calling , please ? +( No response ) +Listen , I know who you are . If you call this number again , I ’ ll call the police . You ’ ll be arrested . I ’ Ve got your number . +Hello , could I speak to Mr . Wang , the PR Director ? +Yes , speaking . How can I help you ? +I am calling to inquire about the position of PR manager . What requirements does the job need ? +The requirements are strong communicational skills , management and work assiduously . And you have to handle the recurring crisis good-humoredly and discreetly . +Hi , can I help you ? +Yes . We have a reservation . +What's your name , Sir ? +Jack . +Yes Sir .

I apologize . +No problem . +Did you need something ? +Did you want to do something tomorrow ? +Is there somewhere special you wanted to go ? +How about a movie ? +A movie sounds good . +Call me tomorrow then . +I will see you tomorrow . +That price of ours , by the way , is for a minimum quantity of 1,000 saddles . +Yes , I noticed that . To what extent would local assembly help sales , did you say ? +20-30 % . But we proposed the plan from the storage and delivery viewpoint . That is to say , less warehouse space and prompt delivery . +Yes , of course . Assembly would be quite a simple matter . Cycle dealers could put them together in a very short time . +Sales have been exceptionally good during the past twelve months . +Yes , I've noticed that . Where have you been placing them ? +All in the local market . One or two suggestions that came in from the distribution might interest you . +Yes . What were they ? Anything that will help sales ? +Perhaps . General opinion is that the rear carrier should be offered as an extra . +That's to keep the price down , I suppose . I'll take it up with our overseas department and listen to what they've got to say about this . +Thanks . +Please bring your baggage here for inspection . +Here you are , officer . +Is all your baggage here ? +Yes , a camera bag , a travel bag and a suitcase . +Have you got anything to declare ? +No .

You know , you will lose interest if you do . +Yes , I know . But it can't be helped . It's been a pretty slow month and I just don't have enough cash to refurnish the whole house . +Let me run through a couple of other options with you . That way , you can make a more informed decision . +What can I help you with today ? +I have a problem . +What is the problem ? +I wrote a check for $ 100 and it bounced . +Do you have enough money in your account ? +I think so . +Let me check that for you right now . +Okay .

I suppose the chorus could be a bit better , though . +do you know anyone in the play ? +actually , the woman playing Ophelia is a past classmate of mine . +really ? Is that why you wanted to come to the play ? +that's only part of it . I absolutely adore this director . Every play he works on turns out great . +so you've seen other plays that he's directed ? +quite a few actually . By the way , after the play , there's always a big party for the cast and their friends . My friend has invited us . Do you want to go ? +sure , I'd love to meet the cast ! Have you ever been in a play ? +I've never had a part in a play before , but I used to be a part of the stage crew in high school . +what did you do ? +I helped build the sets and find props for the plays . What about you ? +I once helped out with costumes , but I didn't enjoy it very much . +why not ? +I spent over three weeks sewing sequins on a coat . +that sounds kind of boring . Oh , look . They're dimming the lights . I think we should get back to our seats for the second half of the play . +Excuse me , would you please tell me where I can find a telephone ? +Over there in the booth . +How do you use a public phone ? +For a local call , just insert 35 cents in the slot and use it in the same way as your home phone .

They will set up a time for you . +Isn't this fun ? +I have no idea what I'm doing . +Just follow the foot movements . Brush left , brush right ... yeah ! That's it ! +Whoa ! We're changing partners now ? Where do I go ? +Let the men take the lead ! +Whoa ! Oh , no ! +Oops ! +My mom and dad insist that I be home before ten . Do you have a curfew ? +Yes . I've had one for as long as I can remember . +I wish my parents were a little more lenient . +I actually like having a curfew . I have an excuse to get to bed on time . +You like going to bed early ? +I don't like being too tired the next day . +Well , I still hate having a curfew . +If you stayed up much later , you would see that just about every-thing closes around ten anyway . +Hi , excuse me sir ? I ’ m looking for a dress shoe . My usual pair that I ’ Ve had for years have finally been stretched out of shape . They don ’ t provide any support anymore . +Sure , what kind of shoe are you looking for ? We ’ Ve got strappy sandals , sleek high heels , edgy pumps , or if you ’ re looking for something a little more practical , we ’ Ve got Mary Janes , ballerinas . +Show me some classic high heels , please . +Ok , right this way . What color did you have in mind ? +Black . Classic . +Of course . We ’ Ve got this style here that is very popular . Because it ’ s an open-toe shoe , you can wear it any time of the year . They look great on everyone . +Umm . too shiny . And I wear pantyhose with my shoes so let ’ s look for a closed-toe shoe . +OK , these are a very nice pair of leather shoes with a two-inch heel so they are very comfortable . +I don ’ t like the pointed toes . Let me take a look at what else you have . Too high . That one looks like the back would cut into my heel . I have a high instep so I doubt that one will fit properly . +What size ? +Seven-and-a-half . +Here we are . How does it fit ? +Hmmm.Not good . They ’ re too tight.The length is right , but the shoe is too narrow and it ’ s pinching my toes . And there ’ d be no room for my insoles . You know what ? I don ’ t think I have the patience fo +Have a nice day , Ma ’ am . +My wife is sick , so I have to cancel a reservation I made . +If you'll just give me your name , phone , and date of visit , I can cancel your reservation . +I'm Rudy Randolph at 818-555-1234 , April ninth to the fifteenth . +Mr . Randolph . Okay , one second , sir , and there you go . Your reservation is now cancelled . +I wish everything in life was so simple . Thank you . +Not a problem , sir . Please remember us in the future . +Well , what did you think about the last candidate ? Do you think we should hire her ? +She had a very impressive resume , but she seemed to lack the confidence that I think a good manager needs . +What made you think that she wasn't very confident ? +Did you notice the way that she avoided making eye contact with us while she talked ? +She was a bit nervous , I guess . What else ? +When she first walked into the room to greet us , she didn't shake our hands or introduce herself at all . I thought that was a bit unprofessional . +You're right . If she walked into meeting with our clients like that , it would make our company look bad , wouldn't it ? +It sure would . Did you also notice the way she slouched in her chair during most of the interview ? She had horrible posture ! +I agree . I guess I was paying more attention to her answers than her body language . +On top of that , she didn't seem to have any sense of people's personal space.She didn't keep enough distance between us during the meeting . +That's true . I guess we ’ ll have to keep looking for a manager then . +Don't worry , we ’ ll find someone eventually ! +Excuse me , driver . Does this bus go to the museum ? +Yes , you get off at the square . +How long is the ride ? +Well , you will get there in about half an hour if the traffic isn't too heavy . +Thank you.How much is the fare ? +Drop 50 cents in the box , please . +Would you please let me know when we get to the stop ?

How much is that ? +Three dollars and forty cents . +There you go . +Order in the court ! +I would like to make my plea . +What is it ? +I would like to plead not guilty . +You do realize that all the evidence points to you ? +I know . But I did not do it . +How do you figure that ? +I didn ’ t commit the crime . +Do you know who did ? +If I tell you who did , will you release me ? +I ’ m sure we can work out some kind of deal . +I ’ ll tell you all you need to know . +Hi , the lab said that you would be getting my test results in today . +I like you to come in and discuss some further tests that I would like to run . +I think that this is a bad sign . +For now , I would like to run a few more tests to look into some of the problems that you mentioned . +Why wouldn ’ t you tell me over the phone ? +If there is any question about test results , we always do a recheck . +I need to come in right away . +I would be happy to see you this afternoon .

Maybe we shouldn't have come here . +But the guidebook says a lot of the stars come here.If we are spending three days in Hollywood , I want to see at least one star . +I think we might not see any . +Did you like the tour of Universal Studios ? +I thought it was O . K . But it really was too hot.And I think they should show people more . The exhibits should be more interesting . +I thought it was great . Didn't you like the special effects rooms ? +Yes , but I still think it could be better . +May I please speak to Robert ? +There is no one here by that name . +Is this 2517758 ? +No , this is 2517759 . +Oh , I'm sorry . +That's all right . +How time flies !

What sectors do you see the most potential in ? If we are going to pull our sales numbers up and develop the brand , we got to work across the board . +It's not just spreading out to new markets that we have to address . I think we'd better first pay attention to developing our brand in the markets we already have.We ' Ve reached the awareness level , but we haven't established customer loyalty . People know who we are , but they still don't trust in our brand . +I don't see why we can't work on opening new markets and developing the markets we've already penetrated at the same time ... Both aspects of developing our customer base and developing our brand are important . +Hey ! I just bought one of those new Japanese cell phones !

What ’ s the problem ? +I have a leaky pipe . +Where exactly is the pipe ? +The pipe is behind a wall in my bathroom . +How long has the pipe been leaking ? +It began leaking a couple of days ago . +I must tell you that in order to get to the pipe , I must tear down that wall . +I know . +That won ’ t be a problem ? +Not as long as it gets fixed . +All right , I will start working now . +Well , what is your trouble ? +I'm not feeling well , doctor .

What position do you want to do ? +I have been yearning for a job as a stewardess in an airline like yours . +Could you tell me something about your previous job ? +Yes . I once worked in a small stock exchange . My work is very simple . +Didn't you like it ? +No , I thought it too dull . Also I didn't think it was challenging enough . +What made you make a decision to leave ? +The stock exchange where I worked was too small My further promotion was impossible .

It's very fashionable and popular among teenagers . +I don't think he'll like it . He prefers simple styles . +How about this one then ? +The style is all right , but I'm not sure about the color . Let me think for a while . +Honey , which hand should I use to hold the fork ? +Left for the fork and right for the knife . Just remember that the stronger one is for knife . +Got it . It's so troublesome to have western food . I've been learning the table manners for hours but still can't really it . +Sure . Rather than eating , having western food is more about western culture . +Yeah . Which restaurant are we going to tonight ? +Cindy has reserved a table for us at a newly opened western restaurant downtown . She said the environment there was really pleasant . +Fine . I believe in Cindy's taste . Oh , what should I wear ? +You should put on the black suit I bought for you last week . But I'm afraid it may be a bit crumpled . You'd better iron it now . +I don't want to mess it up . Please do it for me . I'm going to the bank to cash some money . How much do we need ? +There is no need to do that . I think the restaurant accepts credit cards . But it's necessary to make a budget . +Honey , you are a good accountant . So I'd better leave that to you , too . +It seems that it's all about me . Then what do you do ? +I'll take care of the order . +OK then . Well , 50 Yuan for appetizer , 200 Yuan for dinner and 200 Yuan for wine . Anything else ? +Don't forget about the dessert . +OK , then 50 Yuan for dessert . 500 Yuan all together . +Excuse me , could you please turn on the air-conditioner , it's so hot here . +OK , I will fetch the remote control . +Aha , it's cool now . Can I keep the robot ? +Yes . Here you are . +I ’ m so hungry . Let me have a look at the menu . +We can pig out on potato chips and cookies . They are very cheap . +Our company is going to do some cutbacks soon . +Really ? Where did you hear that ? +I met with the supervisor just this morning . I don't know , but I am a little worried . Who do you think will get sacked ? +I'm not sure ... well , first , it couldn't be George . He is such a kiss-ass . He'd wash the boss's dog if he asked . +No , it's not going to be George . I don't think it's Andy either . He is involved with the boss's sister in-law . And you know how whipped our boss is . +That's true . What about Lisa ? I bet there's nobody who could do a worse job than her . +Lisa ? No way . I've heard a rumor that she and the boss were having an affair . You know rumors can't come out from nowhere . +Well , okay . Then there is still Michael . But he's the boss ' pet after having the best sales record for three months in a row . It definitely won't be Michael . +No , that would be crazy . But then who will it be ? Oh dear , it must be me . I should have known it ! Why else would he have talked to me alone about the downsizing . What should I do ? I've got a family to support . +Well , it could be me too . But I am not too worried . This place is suffocating me with this boss being such a hard-ass and colleagues who barely know how to get dressed in the morning . It would almost be a blessing to be fired from this place . +How do I make a good impression in the interview ? +You should try to put your best foot forward , and be careful of your personal appearance . At least you should get yourself dressed up . Appearance isnt everything , but it's the first thing an interviewer notices about you . +Anything else ? +Don ’ t boast and don ’ t be modest . +What do you mean by this ? You can ’ t do the two things at the same time . +Appear confident and show the interviewers that you ’ re competent . Don ’ t exaggerate things or you'll give the impression that you ’ re talking big . +I see . +Try to be natural , alert and interested . +You ’ Ve given me very valuable advice and I have more confidence in myself now . Thank you very much . +My pleasure . Good luck to you . +Jason . There ’ s a snag in the plans for the Hoover Center . +What ’ s wrong ? I thought everything was set . +Well , it was . But the contractor ’ s just told me he ’ s not going to be able to finish by the twentieth , as planned . +Maybe we could work out an overtime schedule . It ’ s definitely worth it to finish by the twentieth . +How were you getting along with your studies ? +Quite well . I made good records in college . I won the scholarship in every semester . +In addition to your major , did you have other fields to study ? +Yes , I had taken finance courses in a training school . Compound talents are needed in the society and I must study continually to keep abreast with the times . +Excuse me , what's the charge for a picture ? +$ 1 . You can get your photos instantly . +That's great . Give me the landscape of the Triumphal for the background . +No problem . Say ' cheese ' . That's good . Please wait a moment . +What can I do for you today ? +Can I sign up for some classes today ? +Which classes ? +I would like to take a driver's course . +Would you like to make an appointment ? +Why do I need an appointment ? +You need to sign the paperwork . +Can I do that right now ? +When can you come in ? +How about 9 o'clock tomorrow morning ? +I'll schedule you for then . +Thanks for all your help . +The tea smells good . What tea is it ? +It's a special green tea named Longing Tea from Zhejiang province . +What's special about it except its pleasant smell ? +You can see that it keeps the original color of the tea leaves very well . +They must have some special methods to do this during the process . +Probably . I love green tea . It's one of my daily necessities . +Then , do you have “ tea time ” every day ? I mean , do you drink tea at a settled time ? +Not really . But I really love to have after-meal tea . +What's the advantage about tea ? +There are a lot of them . In hot or warm days , tea helps to dispel the heat and brings on an instant cool with a feeling of relaxation . Moreover , the tea leaves contain a number of chemicals which are good for people's health . +Does that mean the stronger the better ? +No . Constant drinking of over-strong tea would do harm to people's health . So don't make your tea too strong . +Got it . What's the proper time for tea ? +It's fine for most time of the day . But don't have tea before bedtime . +Why ? +It will give rise to occasional insomnia . OK , let's enjoy the tea before it gets cold . +Next please ! Hello sir , may I see your passport please ? +Yes , here you go . +Will you be checking any bags today . +Yes , I ’ d like to check three pieces . +I ’ m sorry , sir . Airline policy allows only two pieces of checked luggage , at twenty kilograms each , plus one piece of carry-on luggage . I will have to charge you extra for the additional suitcase . +What ? Why ! I am taking an intercontinental flight ! I ’ m flying sixteen thousand CMS ! How am I supposed to only take two , twenty kilo bags ? That ’ absurd ! +I am sorry , sir , there ’ s nothing I can do . You cannot board the flight with that large bag either.Carry - on bags must fit in the over-head compartment or under your seat . That bag is clearly too big . +Now I see . You charge next to nothing for an international ticket , but when it comes to charging for any other small thing , you charge an arm and a leg ! So tell me , miss , how much will I have to pay for all of this . +Let ’ s see ... six hundred and twenty-five US dollars . +That ’ s more than my round-trip ticket ! +Hi , Mr . Brown , we have visited the factories and I'm very satisfied with your factories production conditions . +Yes , they are our main export bases of tools with the advantage of having good production experience and long historical record . All their products enjoy high prestige in the world market . +That's very good . But I have little knowledge about the packing of your pliers . I just want to know the details about that . +Ok , I'll show you how the packing is like . We have a showroom on the ground floor . Let's go downstairs and have a look . +Sure . +These are the various kinds of packing for pliers . Normally , we have three types of packing +Oh , the packing looks very nice . +The skin packing is the most advanced packing for this product in the world market . It catches the eyes and can help push sales . +Good , what about the export packing ? +Well , they are packed in boxes of two dozens each , 100 boxes to a wooden case . +Is the wooden case strong enough for transportation ? You see , 100 boxes of pliers are very heavy . It's about 2,400 kilograms . +You can rest assured of that . So far , no customers have complained about our outer packing . +I'm glad to hear that . By the way , do you accept neutral packing ? +Yes , we can pack the goods according to your instructions . +Very good . Ok , Mr . Brown , I'm now totally satisfied with your packing . You can execute our first order now , and I will open the L / C immediately after I return to Taipei . +All right . We'll make the shipment as soon as your L / C is on hand . +Can you do me a favor ? +Sure . What is it ? +Can you keep an eye on my bag , please ? Nature's calling . +Sure . Will you be long ? +No , I just want to use the bathroom . +Go ahead . It will be safe with me . +Did you ever get your bus pass ? +I don't think I'm going to get one . +Why not ? +It's just a waste of cash , man ! +Actually , it'll save you money . +Oh , really ? +Because you can use your bus pass as many times as you want . +Really ? +Yeah , and you never have to worry about scraping for change . +That sounds like a good deal . +Yeah , So , are you going to buy one ? +I will . +Did you see the robbery ? +I sure did . +Did you see everything ? +I was in the bank at the time . +What exactly did you see ? +I saw the guy come in with a gun . +Did you get a good look at his face ? +He was wearing a mask . +Was anyone else with him ? +He came in alone . +Could you come to the station for more questioning ? +That'll be fine . +Dai Ling . +Oh , Henry , I haven't seen you for ages . Come in . Let me take your coat . How are you getting along ? +Very well , thank you . +Please take a seat . Everything would be ready in a minute . +Can you bring me a glass of orange juice , please ? I am quite thirsty . +Here you are . Here you go . We have cocktail and salad , fried chicken , French fries and icecream for dessert . Eating chicken while it's hot . it tastes better . +Wow , you're right . Everything is absolutely delicious . Please pass the pepper . +Here you are . Taste the French fries . +They're soft . +Would you like some more ? +No more , thank you . +Here is to our friendship and health ! +Bottom is up . +I think that I would enjoy living here , but I would like to make improvements . +What would make this apartment better for you ? +I think that it would look better with a better quality carpet . +You can have a different carpet , but you have to pay more if it costs more . +How much more would it cost to upgrade ? +It could vary quite a bit , between 2 and 10 dollars per square yard . +Do you think that I could have a different paint color in my apartment ? +I have to see a sample . Bring me one this week , please . +How long will it take for my new apartment to be ready ? +Both the new paint and new carpet will be finished by next week . +Not only does it centralise management , it also increases the efficiency of funds . We have testimonials from various companies who are very happy with the service . +Yes , I'm sure you do . It sounds like an excellent service . +You see , nowadays , a lot of companies are concerned about their group account management . As long as your company meets all the requirements of our Group Account Deposit Service , I would fully recommend it . +It seems perfect . +Here are some leaflets detailing everything we've discussed . +Could you also let me view some of the testimonials ? I'd really be interested to see what other group companies thought of this service . +Hi . This is a Receptionist Desk . How can I help you ? +Yes . I just checked in , but I need to change my room . +What ’ s the problem ? +I reserved a non-smoking room , but the smell of smoke in this room is so strong that I can ’ t endure it . +I ’ m sorry . I ’ ll arrange a non-smoking room for you right away . The doorman is going to help you with your luggage . I do apologize for the inconvenience . +That ’ s ok . Thanks . +I wish to order 100 sets of hifi.Do you have this service ? +Sony or some other brands ? +Sony please.Do you have extra charge for delivery ? +No , it's free . +May I know who's calling ? +Hello , this is David . +Glad to hear your voice , David . +Hi , is that Jessica ? +Yes . What can I do for you ? +I want to inform you of the interview . +What ? I can barely hear you because your veiled voice ? +I said I am informing you of the interview . +The fried shrimp is crunchy ! But my mom will never cook shrimp this way . She always says that fried food is not healthy . +How does she cook the shrimp ? +She often cooks it in a large pan of boiling water . +I don't like that . I like fried food , fried potatoes , fried chicken , fried sausage ... I can't see why fried food is not healthy . +My mom says it has a lot of fat . I also suggest you do not eat so many fried things . +It's all right ! I often fry sausages when my mom is not at home . +Really ? I really want to have a try ! +Come to my house this Sunday . My mom will not be at home then . We can cook some wonderful fried food by ourselves ! +That sounds like a good idea ! But I'm afraid my mom will be angry about it . +What's the matter , Paul ? +Can you believe this ? I locked my keys in the car , and I have to go to the airport to pick up my aunt . +So , what are you going to do ? +I don't know ... Hey , do you think I could borrow your car for a few hours ? +I'm sorry , but I really need it this afternoon . +Well , could you drive me home ? I have spare keys there . +Sure . That's no problem . +Oh , and Andy ? Do you have a quarter for the phone ? My wallet's in the car . +Here you go . Anything else ? +No , that's it . Thanks . I really appreciate it . +I'd like a facial . +Which kind would you like ? We have five different varieties of facials . +Which would you recommend ? +Well , since it's summer , and I had looked that you had quite a bit sun , I'll recommend our summer special , it's specially suited for individuals with sensitive skin . +What does it included ? +The facial will start with thorough cleansing . +Does it include facial mask and massage ? +Yes , the reviving mask will promote blood circulation and tighten your skin . You can also choose to get hand or back massage as well . +Will it exfoliate the skin as well ? +Yes , we also apply a special day cream that protect the skin from the sun and the night cream that moisturize to the skin . +That sounds great . +I stayed at Bob's last night . +I was worried where you were . +I guess I should have told you . +Yes , you should have . +It ’ s freezing in here ! Can I turn up the heat ? +Don ’ t touch that thermostat ! You don ’ t pay the bills around here ! +Dad ! Are you serious ? What ’ s the point of having central heating if we can ’ t use it ! Look , I can see my breath ! +Put on a sweater ! I ’ m not gonna let you run up my heating bill just because it ’ s a bit chilly . +Dad ! I ’ m gonna catch a cold ! +When I was your age , my parents didn ’ t have central heating like you do ! We had a furnace in the center of the living room and that was it . We used it to cook , heat the house and even dry our clothes ! We never caught a cold . You should be grateful ! +I'd like to send this to Chicago . +Air mail or surface mail ? +Air mail , please . +Please put it on the Scale there . Seventy five cents . +Make it special delivery , please . +Oh , then it'll be one dollar twenty five cents . Thank you . +Which type of telephone bill would you like to pay today ? +My home phone , the landline . I don't have a mobile phone , far too complicated for an old lady like me ! Do you need my Bank Book ? +I'll need your Bank Card , please . Your Bank Book is required for over the counter services ; with the ATM you just need to have your card . +Let's get started . First , select the service you require . That's household bill payment for you . Then we select the type of bill , so that's landline ... here you go . Your bill for this month comes to 87.42 RIB . The money will come out of your account and go straight to the phone company . +Well , that is easy ! It sure beats waiting in line for ages waiting to deal with a real person ! +Let's start to study how to use computers , Paler . It's good to know that a computer has two major parts , the hardware and the software . +What's the hardware ? +The hardware of computer is basically all the concrete things you can touch with your hands and see with your eyes . +That's seems obvious enough . Then what about the software ? +The software of computer is all the programmes inside the computer that allow you to use the computer to do things . +I see , actually the hardware is the easy part , I do want to study how to use the software . +Right you are , Paler , and since what you want to learn is how to use software , we should also learn to refer to the computer menus . +Ever since I saw computer can do your project , I wanted to have a computer . +I have a question about my cable . +What do you need ? +I haven't been able to watch my cable for the past week . +Right now the cable isn't working . +Could you tell me when it will be back on ? +The cable should be running again in a couple of days . +In the meantime , do I still have to pay for the cable ? +We'll just give you a credit for the inconvenience . +Does that mean I won't have to pay for it ? +It'll be free until it comes back on . +Thanks , I appreciate your help . +Thank you for all your patience . +I would like to ask for one day off next week . Do you think the manager will agree ? I know it is the busy time for our company , but I do have some important things to handle . +Well , it is hard to say . At least you need to come up with a good reason . +Actually , it is my mother ’ s wedding . My parents divorced many years ago . Now she is ready to establish a new family . It is a special occasion . I ’ Ve got to be there , right ? +Yes , you should be there . Go find the manager and ask . I think the manager will understand and approve you a day off .

Plenty of the spaces here are free when people drive their cars out to work . +Ah ... I see . +We plan to rent some of them out at the hourly rates . +What is the hourly rate for a car like this ? +I am not sure . But it'll be at least ten yuan an hour . +How mush would it cost if someone parks here for one hour and ten minutes ? +That would be twenty yuan , sir . We charge only by the number of hours , no split of each hour . +That's expensive . +Ouch ! The water's too hot ! +Get in slowly , sweetie . You'll get used to it . I'm gonna go and make you some chicken soup . +I'm not hungry , Mom . +I know you don't have an appetite , but you need to eat something . You'll get too weak if you don't eat . +Oh ... I'm sweating already . It's so hot . I can feel it boiling ! Can I get out yet ? +That's a good sign . But just soak a little longer , OK ? +I'd like to help pitch in with dinner . +Really ? You're joking . +No . I'd like to do something special for you on your birthday . +I'd like that . Alright , put on this apron first . +OK ... Now how can I help , hon ? +Hmm , let me see ... Boil some water . +Easy . I could do that with my eyes closed . ( after a while ) Done . +Not bad . Okay , now take some meat and potatoes from the fridge . +How many potatoes do you need ? +Three . And bring four bell peppers . +Gotcha ... OK . Here they are . +Now wash them , then dice the potatoes and bell peppers . +Where's the peeler ? +Dad , how do you say this word ? +Sword , say it ' sword ' . +What does this word mean ? +Look it up in the dictionary . +Dad , can you just tell me what it means ? I'm too lazy . +No , honey , go and read it . You'll learn . +Hello again ! Here's another fruit tray for you . +Oh , hi again ! Hey , the fruit looks different this time . +I make each one a little different . It's a way for me to express my creativity ! +It looks really artistic ! How did you learn to do that ? +Oh , look at your table ! I'll help you clear it off . +You know , art is something I've always been interested in ... +Enjoy your food ! Bye ! +I hate to be the bearer of bad news , but it's that time of year again . Have you got your performance evaluations finished yet ? +Oh no ! Evaluations ! You can tell that's not my favorite job ; I haven't even started yet . When is the deadline for turning in thecompleted forms ? +Well , you do still have three weeks . But remember the employee must sign them , too . Filling them in is nothing - it's meetingwith the employees that takes so much time . +I never know how to rate the employees ' work . Of course attendance and productivity are easy , I just look at the sales figures . +So it's the subjective criteria like team building and colleague support that you find hard ? +Exactly ! Attitude ... how do you rate attitude ? +I suggest letting each employee fill out his or her own evaluation for those items . Then , based on their self - assessment , you can add your comments . It's a great starting point for discussion +Great idea . And after all , that's the whole point of an evaluation . I almost can't wait to give it a try . +Good morning , Mr . Zhang , this is Jimmy calling from Polaroid Company . +Hi , Jimmy , good morning . +I regret to tell you that the position of Sales Manager has gone to another person . +I see . +We really believe that you are a highly qualified person . But the other candidate has several years of related experiences . +Maybe that is true . But I am a fast learner and I am willing to work overtime , and I do not mind a lot of business travel . +We surely believe you . +Can't you give me another chance and reconsider your decision ? +I am afraid we are sticking to our choice . +Possibly you are now . But in case you will change your mind , please let me know . +OK . +Check out , sir ? +Yes , would you please call me a taxi first ? +No problem.How would you like to pay ? +Credit card please . Here you are . +How do you want to advertise the opening ? +I've had good responses from the Beijing Times , help-wanted ads . +All right . I suggest posting the ad Monday through Friday . +OK . Monday is the big day for job ads . +And job seekers will certainly check the paper over on Tuesday . +Let's post on the Internet , too . Will get a better response . I'll post the ads . I know some good sites . +Such concern for the company , Craig ! I'm impressed . +Vancouver is the third largest city in Canada . +Would you please tell me what places are worth visiting ? +There are many famous places such as Robson Street , Stanley Park , Gaston , Lion Gate Bridge , The Vancouver Art Gallery , and The Canadian Crafts Museum . +Could you come and help me mend the computer , Neel ? +What's wrong with it ? +I can't log on the internet again . +Let me see . Did you change anything on your computer ? +No , never . +What kind of anti-virus software do you use ? +I don't have this kind of software . +Are you riding ? You have to install an anti-virus software on your computer . If not , you will be attacked by viruses , and it can lead your computer into failure . +We're broke . +I can't believe it 。 +How do you like you trip ? +I have no idea . Maybe I want to take a boat down the river . +That's interesting . I will go with you . +Won't it be dangerous ? +Don't worry . There are so many people . We will join the touring party . +That's better . +Is this the right bus for the Grand Hotel ? +Oh , no.You should take the No . 14 tram . +Where can I take it ? +Two blocks down the street . +Excuse me , could you help me ? +Yes , what seems to be the problem ? +Well . I was wondering if anyone has turned in a passport ? +I am afraid not . Have you lost your passport ? +I think so . I can't find it anywhere in my hotel room and I remember the last place I used it yesterday was in this department store . +Where exactly did you use your passport in the store ? +In the shoe department . I had to show it to pay for these shoes with my traveler's cheques . +Well , let me call the shoe department to see if they ’ Ve found a passport . Sorry , your passport hasn't turned up there either . +Then what shall I do ? +You can fill in this lost property report and I will keep my eye out for it . These kinds of things usually turn up eventually , but I suggest you contact your embassy and tell them about your situation , so they can issue you a new passport in case it doesn't show up . +You are right . Do you have a pen ? +Here you are . +Oh , I seem to lose something every time I travel . +Greetings should never be ignored in the interview . +Sure . It is helpful to shorten the distance between you and the interviewer and create a lively atmosphere . +Appropriate greetings will win the interviewer's favorable impression +But you should pay special attention to your words and attitudes . +In the beginning of the interview , greet the interviewer with a kind smile . +In the interview , use polite words , such as ' Thank you ' , or ' Please ' . +That's right . Details can mean succeed or fail . +When talking you should focus your eyes on the interviewer in order to closely watch his or her expressions . +At the end of the interview , you should make your acknowledgements and say Goode . +Whatever the result is , you should keep your good demeanor . +Only in this way can you leave a good impression on the interviewer . +In short , you should present the best of yourself throughout the interview . +Nathan said he didn't have any fun at his new school this week . Do you know why ? +I think he hasn't made any new friends yet . He's just a little lonely . +He really misses his friends from our old neighborhood . +Without a doubt . Maybe if he knew he doesn't have to give up any of his old friends to make new ones , it will be easier for him . +How do you propose to help him understand that ? +Well , we can help him keep in touch with his old friends . +I guess we could go visit once in a while too . +Yeah . There's a lot we can do to help him through this transition . +Does it look too big ? +It looks like it was made just for you . +Yes , I like it . I'm going to get it . +How would you like to pay for it ? +Here's my credit card . +Now , if you'll just sign here . +Yes . Here you are . +So long . Have a nice weekend . +Excuse me , haven't we met somewhere before ? +Yes , I'm Jame , your neighbor when you lived in here last year . +Oh , I see.Glad to see you here . +Me too . +Excuse me , can you tell me where Main Street is ? +Turn left at the second light and then go straight for two blocks . +Is it far ? +No . It's only a five-minute walk . You can't miss it . +Thanks a lot . +You're welcome . +hello ? +good morning , Nathaniel . This is Leah calling from the International Student Office . +good morning . +the reason I'm calling is because Ms . Collins will not be able to call you back until next week . +oh . I had hoped she would have called me back yesterday . +she's terribly sorry about that . She had to leave the office suddenly and won't be able to return until next week . She hopes you understand . +is there someone else I can talk to ? +she asked me to call you to book an appointment with someone else today . When are you free today ? +any time after 2 pm today would be good for me . +Mr . Liu is available at 2:15 today . Will that work for you ? +I'd prefer to speak with Ms . Fonda . +I'm afraid she isn't available this afternoon . She has an opening at 11:30 this morning . Will that work for you ? +that will be fine . +ok , we'll be expecting you at 11:30 . See you then . +Hello , Madam . What can I do for you today ? +Hello . Yes , I'm here to redeem a Treasury Note . It's not at the maturity date yet , but it is an emergency . +OK , can I see the note and some ID , please ? +There you are . As you can see , the maturity isn't up yet . +You do realise that you must pay a 0.2 % charge for premature cancellation , right ? +Oh , really ? No , I wasn't aware of that . +Unfortunately , yes . You see , this is a three-year note ; it was issued over a year ago , but not over two years . So , you will have to pay . I'm sorry about that . +Come in and sit down , Jack.Now , what's the trouble ? +I've got a terrible pain in my stomach , Doctor . +I see.When did it start ? +It started yesterday . I didn't eat any supper . +Have you got a temperature ? +I think so . I feel very hot . +Let's see.Yes.You ' Ve got quite a high temperature . +I've got an awful headache , too , and my throat hurts . +Hm .. I think you ' Ve got the flu . +Is it serious ? +No , not at all , but you must stay in bed for three days and take this medicine . +How often must I take it ? +Three times a day after meals . +Thank you , Doctor . +We are interested in placing a large order for your wool carpet . +How much would you like ? +10,000 sq . m . You should give us a discount for such a large quantity . +A higher discount will be given for a big order , so we are willing to give you a 5 % discount this time . +The Iranians will give us a 10 % discount if such a high order is placed with them . No doubt you know an incentive discount encourages the buyers and helps expand seller's business . +Of course I know . But there is too high a rate . Frankly speaking , the maximum discount we can make is 6 % . +I have been washing the dishes for over a week now . +Well , I think you are very good at doing the dishes , so maybe you should do them for another week . +No . We made an agreement that we would take turns doing the dishes . Now it's your turn to do them . +OK , I'll do them . +Any new ideas on the Mr . Fro case ? How can we give this motor oil a new brand identity ? +Let me get my morning coffee to get my brain working again . +I could use one , too . I'm still burnt out from that last cigarette ad campaign . +As long as the foam on my macchiato's not burnt , too , I'll be alright for a while . You got your espresso , Jess ? +Excuse me . Are these chips on sale ? +Yes . You will save 90 cents on each bag . +Is there any limit ? +No , no limit . You can take as many as you want . +That ’ s good . Thanks . +You ’ re welcome . +There's a major problem with room 507 . +I'm sorry to hear that . Please tell me the exact problem . +This room is overrun with cockroaches . +There has been an occasional silverfish in the hotel , sir . +I stopped counting at nine . +Sir , this hotel just passed a thorough insect inspection with flying colors . +Your inspector needs spectacles . The fact is that cockroaches are running rampant . +I apologize , sir . Just a second , while I transfer you to my supervisor . +Can you help me please ? +Certainly sir . +Do you know if there is Japanese restaurant near the hotel ? +Actually there ’ s one on the same street as this hotel . +Is it far ? +Not at all . Turn left out of the hotel and it's about a five minute walk . +Good morning . I want to deposit 3,000 yuan in your bank . +Yes . Do you have a savings account in our bank ? +No , I haven't . It is the first time for me to come to deposit money here . +How long do you want to keep it in our bank ? +Two years , please . +You have to fill in this form with your name , address , ID card number , deposit term and the amount you want to deposit . +OK . What should I do if I want to draw my money before maturity date for an urgent use ? +Don't worry . You can draw your money at any time . But you'll not receive the time deposit return of interest . What we can offer is a current one . +I see . By the way , what if I forget to cash my money when the maturity comes ? +In that case , we'll just regard your account as a regular savings account from then on . +I see . +Here we are . This is Wangfujing Street . +Thank you . How much is it ? +25 yuan , please . +Here ’ s 30 yuan . +Thank you . Here ’ s your change and receipt . +Excuse me , which way is to the post office ? +The post office ? Sorry , I'm not sure . +Well , thanks anyway . +I'd like to speak with the apartment manager , please . +This is he . What can I do for you ? +I'm interested in the apartment on Main Street . +It's still available . Do you want to see it ? +Yes , I would very much like to see it . +Does today at 6 p . m . sound okay to you ? +I have no problem with 6 p . m . +Okay , I'll see you at 6 o'clock . Do you need any directions ? +No , thanks . I already drove by to see what the neighborhood looks like . +I'll have an application form with me . You can fill it out if you're interested . +Should I bring anything with me ? +No . I only need to check your driver's license . +Has everything been OK with you lately ? +I haven ’ t been able to get a good night ’ s sleep lately . I ’ m exhausted ! +Have you been too busy to get enough sleep ? +I try to go to sleep , but I just can ’ t stay asleep . +How late do you try to go to sleep ? +I go to bed when I finish my work . +Has anything in your day-to-day life been bothering you lately ? +I am worried about how I am going to pay my tuition . +You might consider listening to relaxing music as you go to sleep to clear your head . +Doing something relaxing before I go to sleep sounds like a plan . +Liz , you were supposed to have had those contracts typed up by now . +I was supposed to do that ? I thought Sharon was responsible for that . +No , Liz . I asked you specifically . Don ’ t you remember ? +I ’ m really sorry , Mr . Samuel . I really don ’ t remember that . +Strange looking handle on that coffee mug , isn't it ? +We submitted two designs to our buyers , this one and one with the mug indented to form a grip . They chose this one . +What's the advantage ? Price , I suppose . +No , this type cleans better , no crevices between the body and handle joint . +What deliveries are you quoting nowadays on orders such as ours ? +We can make shipment within one month from receipt of order . +You don't do much in porcelain tiles and ornaments , do you ? +We do a fair amount in tiles and in insulators for electrical appliances . But kitchenware and tableware are our mainlines . +I see . Well , keep up the good work . See you later . +Morning , Tom . +Hi , Mary . +You seem to be in a hurry . +Yes . I ’ Ve got a meeting in a minute . +Okay . I won ’ t hold you up then . +Right . I ’ ll see you later . +See you later . +Tell me something about yourself and your past experience . +I have eight years of experience working in the IT industry . For the past two years , I have been working as a project manager for a dotcom . I am also MI certified . I'm looking for a team environment where I can join the excitement of building a company . +What experience have you had that qualifies you for this position ? +I have worked on a variety of projects and jobs in the high tech industry . I wanted to have the experience of working for a dotcom and have learned something about being in on the ground floor of a business . +What attracted you to this job ? +I've been searching for a while now to find a company that had a business model and corporate philosophy like yours . I am interested in working for a company that provides products and services to the K - 12 education market . My background is in this field , and my strength is in building relationships and solving problems . I am excited and interested in the idea of developing business relationships through e-commerce . +What qualities do you think are important to this position ? +To have a combination of technical and business knowledge and to be very results-oriented . My past record shows that I have those qualities and more . Because of my business acumen and technical know-how , the teams I have managed accomplished outstanding results , including booking more than $ 50 million in online revenue . +When have you been most motivated ? +When I have a specific project to complete , I like to know the specifics of a project from beginning to end . I like definite deadlines and I like to meet those deadlines . I expect some deviation from the original plan , but I try to stay focused and not let myself drift too far . I have great attention to detail and like to take my time and do it right the first time . +Why did you leave your last position ? +I've set some goals for myself and my career , and unfortunately I'm at a standstill in my current situation . I have begun to explore options available before I spend too much time in a job where I can't advance . My goal is to continue to take on new responsibilities and be a key contributor to the success of an online venture . +What are your salary expectations ? +I really need more information about the job before we start to discuss salary . I'd like to postpone that discussion until later . +Do you have any questions ? +Yes , I do . Who are your financial backers ? Who are the key competitors ? Does the company have a plan for the IPO ? What would you say is the best thing about your product or service ? +Good afternoon , Peace Hotel , what can I do for you ? +I have made a reservation for this Sunday . My name is Bobby +Yes , that's right . Your room is a single one with a bath . +I am calling to cancel it now . I can't go to your city this week . +Fine , we will cancel it . +Thank you . +Where is that ? +Take me to the airport , please . +Are you in a hurry ? +I have to be there before 1700 . +We'll make it except a jam.You know it's rush hour . +There's an extra ten in it for you if you can get me there on time . +I'll do my best . +Here's twenty dollars . +Do you have small bills ? +No.If you can't break it , keep the change.But can you give me a receipt ? +Here is your receipt.Thank you . +What are you doing , Steven ? +I'm going to Beijing tomorrow . I'm packing my luggage . +What will you bring along when traveling ? +I will take some clothes to change and cleaning items . +Have you packed the camera yet ? +Yes . I've already put it in my suitcase . +Pack some necessary medicine in your carry-on . +I almost forget it . Thank you ! +Is this taxi taken ? +No , sir . Where to ? +Please take me to this address . +OK . Please step in . I know where it is . +Jessie , I ’ m afraid I can ’ t come back home for dinner tonight . +Not back home for dinner again ? That ’ s the third time this week ! +I ’ m sorry . Our company has just opened . There are always too many things to handle . You know that . +You don ’ t have to explain . Suit yourself . +I apologize . You have my word , I ’ ll spend some time with you on the weekend . I promise . +We ’ ll see . +Thank you for understanding . I promise I ’ ll make it up to you . +Ah ! No ! Damn it ! +It's a blackout . Now I can't see Seinfeld . +So what ? I just lost one hour's worth of work . +Really ? How could you do that ? Don't you save every couple minutes ? +No , I didn't save this time.Damn it ! And I'm sick of writing this paper . Now I have to write it all over again too . +I've had that problem too many times . So I learned to save.When I'm writing something , I save every three sentences or so . I don't want to lose anything . +I hate computers . Sometimes I think they cause more trouble than they're worth . +What are we going to do now ? +I don't know . I feel like going out . +I wonder how much of the city is down . +It doesn't matter . I still can go out and buy a beer . +Maybe . But if there's a blackout , probably the pubs are closed.And besides , I know you have a political science exam tomorrow . I thought you had a lot of reading to do . +Yes , that's true . Damn ! I just lost half my paper , and now I can't even do my homework.This is a bad time for this to happen . +I have a flashlight in my closet . If you want to use that to read , you can . +Thanks . I think I will try . Where are you going ? +I like your idea of getting a beer . I think I'll go out myself . +Maybe we can trade.Why don't you stay here and read for my exam , and I'll go drink beer ? +No , it just won't work.If I read for your exam , you won't know the answers tomorrow . I will . +So ? You can go to the class for me.Just write my name on the exam book and take the exam . Why not ? +How many students are in the class ? +About fourteen . +So it won't work , old buddy . They'll see that I'm not you . Sorry . +Damn ! +Here's our sample room . +You've got a large collection of sample foodstuffs here . +Yes . We are exporting a wide range of foodstuffs to many countries . And the demand is getting greater and greater.By the way , which items are you interested in ? +I'm particularly interested in shortbreads . Do you have some samples you could show me ? +Yes . This way , please . Our shortbread is in a variety of flavors , such as almond , walnut , lotus seed , etc . And different packaging has different weights . We can make packages within a reasonable range of any size you require . +The small sizes are more marketable than the large ones for us . I wonder if Your pastry tastes better . +You are welcome to have a try . Here it is . Ours is of prime quality . +Oh , it's delicious ... +What happened to your car ? +A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car . +Are they going to pay you for the damages ? +They're saying it was already there . +What the hell . That doesn't make sense . What are you going to do ? +I have to go to court . A cop was there so he can prove that the damage wasn't there . +That sucks . I'd be pissed if that happened to me . +I got an estimate and it's four thousand dollars . +Oh my gosh . Damn ... screw the court , I would burn down their store . +We'll see what happens after court . +Can you pick up some things from the store for me ? +Of course , what do you need ? +I need a few things , I'll give you the list . +Is there something else you need that you can think of ? +Everything I need is on the list . +Do you want me to make any other stops while I'm out ? +Since you asked , would you pick up my medicine from the pharmacy ? +Is it ready to be picked up ? +I believe so . +No problem . I'll do that for you . +I really appreciate you doing this for me . +It's no problem at all . +Hi , boss . You wanted to see me ? +Zina . Look , I know when I hired you , I told you I'd pay you a salary . But I just can't . +Excuse me ? I hope I didn't just hear what I think I just heard . +I know it's awkward , but you're going to be thanking me later . I'm going to make you rich . +You're going to make me rich by not paying me ? +How often do you use the internet ? +I use it almost every day , but I usually only use it to check my email . I don ’ t often surf the net . You use the internet a lot , don ’ t you ? +Yes . I use it to find products and components at the lowest price for my company . It can be frustrating when the connection is poor . +So , you ’ re online eight hours a day . +Yes , I like the job though . Sometimes , I help other people in the office if they ’ re having trouble online . +How useful do you think the internet is as a source of information ? +I think it ’ s fairly useful , but there are two big problems . First , a lot of the information you find online is false . Second , when you buy something online , you don ’ t see it until you actually get it . +How do you solve the website problems when you ’ re buying something online ? +What I do is find the website of shops . Then someone from our company visits the shop and buys when they ’ re seen that the products are genuine and suitable . +What's your favorite movie ? +My favorite movie is Superbad . +Oh , why is that ? +It's the funniest movie that I've ever seen . +That's true . It is a very funny movie . +You've seen it before ? +Yes , I saw that movie the first day it came out in theaters . +Didn't you laugh through the whole movie ? I did . +Me too . That movie brought tears to my eyes . +Mine too . +I have it on DVD at my house if you want to come over and watch it . +Sure , let's go . +Are you through with your meal ? +Yes , I am . Could I have the bill , please ? +Here is your bill . 150 yuan in all . +Do you accept check ? +No , I'm sorry we don't . We accept credit cards and cash . +Well , I'd like to pay by cash . +OK . ( A few minutes later ) Sorry to keep you waiting . Here is your change . +Thanks . +My pleasure . Welcome to our restaurant next time . +I plan to add an introductory letter behind the resume to increase the probabilities of success in the interview . +That's a good idea . Do you know how to write an introductory letter ? +I'm not sure of that . Do you know ? +I just know a little . First you need to include your basic information , such as your name , age , gender and major , etc . +Yes , I think so , too . I must introduce myself in truth . +I think the most important is that you need to show the employer that you are qualified for that job . +So I should write my strengths in the introductory letter , especially those related to the work . +Yes , thus the employer can know you very well , and then decide whether you are the right person . +You are very nice to tell me those . +I wish you good luck ! +Thank you ! +OK , I'm sorry it took so long . +I understand . +The phone has been ringing off the hook today . +Some days are just like that . +Do you have any plans for dinner tonight ? +No , I was thinking of putting a frozen pizza in the oven or something . How about you ? +I was thinking maybe we could make dinner together tonight . What do you think ? +I'm absolutely useless at cooking ! +I could teach you how to cook something healthy . Frozen pizza are so bad for you ! +I know they aren't good for you , but they are cheap , convenient , and fairly tasty . +I recently saw a recipe for spicy chicken curry in a magadize . Maybe we could try that ? +Yeah , why not . Do you have all the ingredients ? +I bought all the ingredients this morning , so let's start ! +What do we do first ? +first , you need to wash the vegetables and then chop them into little pieces . +Ok . Should I heat the wok ? +Yes . Once it gets hot , put a little oil in it , add the vegetables and stir-fry them for a few minutes . +What about the chicken ? +That needs to be cut into thin strips about 3 cm long and then it can be stir-fried on its own until its cooked through . +How about the rice ? +I'll prepare that . Do you prefer white rice or brown rice ? +White rice , please . None of that healthy brown stuff for me ! +Manhattan Square , please . +All right , sir.When are we supposed to be there ? +I'd like to go around the city , if you don't mind . +Can you effect shipment during September ? +I don't think we can make it . +Then when at the earliest can we expect the shipment ? +By the middle of October . +It's too late . You see , in our market October is the season for the kind of commodity . So the goods must be shipped before October or we won't be ready for the season . +Well , considering our long standing good business relationship , we'll try hard to negotiate with our manufacturers for an earlier delivery . +Thanks . Then may I suggest that you put down in the contract ' shipment on September 15 or earlier ' ? +Let me see . Now the workers will have to work on three shifts for it . Well , we can manage it on 20th September . That's the best we can do . +Oh , that's very considerate of you . I'lI take your word for it . +What do you think of the acting of the two main actors in the film ? +I consider the hero's acting is inferior to that of the heroine's . don't you agree ? +Well , I'm afraid not . I think the hero has much more to be believed in . +Good afternoon , can I help you ? +Hello . I've been told to come in and see someone about my L / C . I just had a message to come in and see someone called Kristy . +I'm Kristy . Can I help ? +I received a letter asking me to come in and see you . I'm Mr Simons from Dalton's Electrics . +Oh , yes . Hello Mr Simons . I have some information about your L / C amendment . The negotiating bank has just informed us that the 3rd party does not wish to accept the amendment . +Oh dear ! Where should I go from here ? +I'd recommend going back to the 3rd party , personally this time , and discussing what exactly it is they aren't happy with . Hopefully you can reach some sort of agreement , which is viable for everyone . +What would you like to drink ? +I feel like a cup of black tea . +Wouldn't you like something to eat ? +Yes , I'd like a portion of that strawberry tart . +Right .

Why don't you call the Help Desk ? Someone there will be able to help you . +Have you got the number ? I'll call them right now . +I would like to order some internet today . +What kind would you like ? +What kind of internet is there ? +You can get DEL or dial-up . +Which of those two is best ? +I would recommend DEL . +So that one better ? +It's better because it doesn't tie up the phone . +What do you mean by that ? +DEL isn't connected through your phone line , but dial-up is . +So then I can't use my phone if I'm on the internet ? +That's correct . With DEL you can do both . +Hi there . How can I help ? +I started a new job last month and I'm expecting my first salary . +I see . And your company has a Wage Distribution Service Agreement with us ? +So I was told , yes . They gave me this book ? +Yes , that's a Current-all-in-one Passbook .

Do you want me to edit it for you ? +Please , you write much better than I do . +Oh , its nothing . +Were you late for work this morning ? +Yes , I was . I was almost an hour late . +What did you say to your boss ? +I said I was terribly sorry . But he said it was quite all right . +Your boss was really nice . +No , he didn't scold me because he was late , too . +Hello ! +Is Petti there ? +I'm sorry , I'm afraid you've dialed the wrong number . There is no Petti here . +Wrong number ? Are you sure ? I called yesterday and she was there . +I'm sure you have the wrong number . This one has been my number for more than 20 years . +That's impossible . I remember the number clearly . Isn't this 763-4565 ? +No , It isn't . It's 736-4565 . It seems you've misdialed . +Really ? I ' m so sorry I bothered you . I ' ll try again . +That's all right . This sort of thing happens all the time to everyone . +Yeah . I guess it does . Sorry again for bothering you . +No worries . +I would like to check out now.My room number is 712 . +Let me see , Mr . Lee.right ? How would like to pay your bill ? +Do you accept traveler's checks ? +Yes . +Here you are . +Could you tell me a little about the organization ? For example , how big is your workforce here ? +Well in total we have around 150 employees based in Hong Kong with another 400 in our head office in Beijing . The news desk staff in Hong Kong comprises around 80 staff . +I see . And how about the working hours ? +Well , as you know Rebecca , in journalism work hours are not exactly nine to five . You could be on call at any time . We do have to work very unsociable hours at times . +Well I am used to that , Mr . Parsons , so that ’ s not really a shock for me . +Good , as long as you understand that . +And when do you need to fill the vacancy , Mr . Parsons ? +Yesterday ! But no , we are hoping to start from the beginning of next month . +That sounds ideal . +First National Bank . +Hi , I have a checking account with you . +How can I help you ? +I need to see if check number 212 has cleared yet . +What's your name and account number ? +I'm calling about you appointment.Mr.Smith has to cancel all his appointments because he's got something urgent to attend to . +When can I go to see him ? +Anytime except today.Please give him a call before you come . +OK . +Hi , sir . Could you tell me where the Hilton Hotel is ? +Well , there are two Hilton Hotels around here . Which one is your destination ? +Eh , let me see . Sorry , I can't remember it , because I've been there only once , accompanied by my friends . +Then , it would be a little bit harder to find out your way . Do you remember the name of the street , or one or two landmarks ? +A bookstore , probably . With a yellow and orange logo . +Good , any other clues ? +I remembered there is a very busy street several miles away . I waited for the traffic light for a very long time . +Oh , is there a bank near there , Standard Charted possibly ? +Oh , yeah , I got it , there is a bank My friend exchanged her money there . +That's the second branch hotel of Hilton . Walk straight down and you will see the bookstore you just mentioned . Turn left , I believe , you will get it . +Great ! Many thanks ! +Hi , can I help you ? +No , thanks . I'm just looking . +All right . If you need any help , just let me know . My name is Greg . +Sure , I'll let you know if I need anything . Hm , this mattress is very firm . Jack will probably like it . +Did you find something you like ? +Yes , this mattress is very good . It's pretty firm . The mattress I ’ m now sleeping on is saggy . +You are right . This is very good brand . It doesn't sag easily and we offer a lifetime warranty , so you don't have to worry about its quality . +Does it come with a frame ? +Unfortunately , it doesn't . However we can give you a 10 % discount on the frame . We also offer a very good financing plan . There is no payment no interest until next June . +That's an attractive plan . I'll think about it . +Oh ! My mouth is on fire ! +I feel so good . That warm hot pot certainly hits the spot on winter nights . +I need more water ! +Oooo ... gross ... you're sweating all over the place . +It's your fault for mixing the two broths ! +You're going to have a little Montezuma's revenge tomorrow morning . +Excuse me ? How can I get to the nearest branch of the national bank ? +There ’ s branch on new street . Walk up this street until you get to the first set of traffic lights . Then turn right at the traffic lights . +How far up the street are the traffic lights ? +Now far . About 150 meters perhaps . +Ok . So I turn right at the traffic lights . Then ? +Then keep walking until you reach the war memorial . It ’ s a big statue of a soldier . You can ’ t miss it . +Ok . Where do I go then ? +You ’ ll see the national bank near the war memorial . It ’ s a big building and you ’ ll see a big sign on the front of the building . +God it . Thans very much . +I am trying to see if I can afford to purchase a home that I wish to buy . +We can figure that out right now . How much do you earn annually ? +My wife and I earned one hundred and fifty thousand dollars last year . +How many years have you held your current position ? +I have been at my current job for 10 years . +Is there any extra income that you receive other than salary ? +I collect one thousand dollars a month from a rental property . +Have you ever figured out your credit score ? +I try not to think about it ! +Adding in your expenses , I calculate that you can spend three hundred thousand on a house . +Why should I buy this MD player ? +Well , it has a lithium battery that lasts for 24 hours and it has a 160 second anti-skip mode for when you're playing sports . +What else ? +Using MP3 mode , you can download about 10 hours of music from either your CD player , or your computer's hard disk onto one mini-disk . +But how's the sound quality ? +You can choose from several play modes , or you can use the full-spectrum equalization , 3 D mode and Mega Bass features . We rec-ommend using it with the studio monitor headphones . +Is that it ? +It's ultra-compact , it has a brushed , titanium metal body and a rubber shock-proof , weather-proof case with a belt clip . +May I fix an appointment with Dr.Cui ? +Sure . +When will it be convenient for her ? +Any time is all right , except Sunday . +How about ten o'clock tomorrow ? +OK . I'll tell her . +Poor Danny . You are so enfeebled ! +Don't worry . No big deal . Just a common cold . +Mom called just now saying that she and Dad will be back later . Do you want to speak to them on phone ? +No . You can never count on the grown-ups when there is something . +Whatever . Have a drink of water . +Come on , sister . This is the seventh glass already . +Maybe later . I think we have a medicine-kit . +Do we ? Where is it ? +Probably on the of the cabinet . I'll go and get it . +Be careful . Now I have no one but you to depend on . +Oh , here it is . Patulin . Oh , no ! +What's the new strike ? +Keep lying down . The matter is that all the medicine here is past expiration . +Poor me ! +I ’ m interested in teaching at your school . +Great . Are you a qualified teacher ? +Yes . +What kind of teaching certificate do you have ? +I have a TEFL certificate . +How many years of experience do you have ? +I have three years of teaching ESL and four years of teaching per-school children . +When did you get your TEFL certificate ? +I got my TEFL certificate three years ago . +Why do you want to teach at our school ? +Well , I ’ Ve heard many good things about it . I also like teaching young children . +That ’ s great . Can you speak Chinese ? +Yes , just a little . +Can you come in for an interview tomorrow at 10 ? +I sure can . +Great . See you then . +I want to know whether you can handle the matters of registered permanent residence . +Don't worry about such problems . We can deal with them for you . Other questions ? +I have no other questions .

Didn ’ t you ? +Of course ! +I have total faith in Obama as our President . +You do ? +Yeah . I have faith that he will help America turn over a new leaf . +Our country really could use some work . +I believe that change has already begun . +I couldn ’ t agree more . +I no longer need to worry about what will happen with this country . +Hi , are you Catherine ? +Yes , Jason , right ? Nice to meet you . Welcome to Taiwan . +Thanks , good to meet you , too . +You had a long flight , you must be tired . +Yes , and the food was horrible ! +Oh , sorry to hear that . But , don worry ! Taiwan has plenty of great things to eat . First , lets get you to the hotel . +Great ! How will we be getting there ? +My car is in the parking lot , lets go this way . Let me help you with your bags . +Hello , Arthur . What seems to be the problem ? +Hey doc . Well , I think I might need glasses . I ’ m getting headaches , and I really struggle to see things that are far away . But I have always had 20/20 vision . +Sounds like you may be far-sighted . OK , then cover your left eye and read the chart in front of you . +Mmm .. . X , E , R , 3 , a question mark , and I can ’ t quite make out the other symbol but I think it ’ s the peace sign . +Wow , Arthur ! You ’ re as blind as a bat ! +Yeah , I know , my vision is really blurry at times . +Ok then , head on over to the other room and pick out some frames while I fill out your prescription . +Thanks doc ! +Arthur , that ’ s the bathroom . +Did you need help with something ? +I don ’ t know where to get my ballot . +I can help you with that . +How can you help me ? +I work here . +That ’ s great . +May I see your ID ? +Here it is . +All right , here is your ballot card . +What do I do now ? +Go to a voting booth and vote . +All right . Thanks for your help . +Are you looking for shoes ? +Yes , could you give me some ideas ? +What about this brown one ? +Fine , it's the thing for me . I will take it . +Hello , who is speaking , please ? +Hello , Mr . Stern . This is Hao Bo from the International Travel Agency . I have made the plane reservations for you . +Oh , good . Let me get a pencil and take down the information . Well , go ahead , please . +Okay . You'll be travelling on Northwest Airlines , flight number 222 . +What time does it leave ? +It departs Guangzhou at 10:30 on the morning of July 10 . +That is good . +You want to fly first class . Is that correct , Mr . Stern ? +That's right . +Well , I have got you three first class tickets and I have reserved your seats . Your seat numbers are 8A , 8B and 8C . +Those are in the non-smoking section , aren't they ? +Yes , they are . I have charged the tickets to your credit card . They are 630 dollars each , so It is 1890 dollars for all three . +Fine , thank you very much . +One more thing . Could you give me the names of the people you'll be travelling with ? +Sure . They are my kids , Alex and Kathy Stern . +All right . You're all set . Have a nice flight . +Thanks . +It has just occurred to me that there is still another possibility to ensure a prompt delivery of the goods . +And that is ? +How about making Hong Kong the port of shipment instead of New York ? +I'm afraid we can't agree to that . We concluded the business with you here in Houston , and the goods you ordered are manufactured in New York . We wish to point out that all orders accepted by us are shipped from New York or Seattle . Hong Kong is out of the question . +It's like this . There are only one or two ships sailing a month from New York to Osaka , while sailings from Hong Kong are quite frequent . If shipment were effected from Hong Kong , we could receive the goods much earlier . +I see . You want to have your goods shipped from New York to Osaka via Hong Kong , where they can be transshipped . Is that the idea ? +Yes , exactly , because I want these goods on our market at the earliest possible date . +Your idea may be a good one , but the trouble is that there are risks of pilferage or damage to the goods during transshipment at Hong Kong . How about shipping them from Seattle instead of network ? You may choose either one as port of shipment . It makes no difference to us . There are more sailings from Seattle than from New York . +It sounds all right to me , but I will have to think about it . I'll give you a definite answer tomorrow . If I choose Seattle , will it be possible for you to ship the goods by the end of March ? +We'll try our best . Anyway , we assure you that shipment will be made not later than the first half of April . +I ’ m so sorry to call you on such short notice , but something ’ s come up . +You mean for this afternoon ’ s meeting ? +That ’ s right I ’ m afraid I have to postpone it . Mr . Scott got sick and I have to attend the Speechmaker ’ s Symposium in his place . I ’ m leaving today , and I won ’ t be back until a week from Friday . +That ’ s quite a while . Let ’ s make it the week after you get back , then . +That will be great . So it ’ s two weeks from tomorrow , same time and place . I ’ m really sorry to do this to you . +No problem at all . To tell you the truth , I could use the extra time in my schedule to catch up on some paperwork . +Would you show me some table-cloths ? +Certainly . ( Take a table-cloth to her ) +How much is it ? +A table-cloth of this size and style is 15 Yuan . +That ’ s reasonable . +If you take good care of it , it will last you quite a number of years . +Really ? I ’ ll take it then . +I'm planning to buy a bicycle . As you are quite a cycling enthusiast , I wish you might give me some advice . +With pleasure , chap . But before I start , I need to know what you want a bike for ? +My purposes are two-fold . On the one hand , I've grown bored of commuting on suffocating buses every day and decided to ride to work . On the other hand , bicycling is a sport , and I intend to build up my body through constantly taking a ride over the weekends . +Cycling during weekends ? Do you me riding on the mountainous countryside just the neighboring towns ? +Does that make any difference ? +Can't be greater . If you ride on bumpy , hilly roads , a mountain bike is what you need . But if you just ride comfortably along the city lanes , you might choose a road bike . +Are they designed differently ? +A road bike features skinny tires and a light-weight frame . Its riding position puts you bent over the handlebars . It's not particularly beefy in construction , and generally , it won't stand up well under heavy loads or on really rough surfaces . In contrast , mountain bikes have wide tires and a stout frame . You sit higher on them and don't have to hunched over . +I would like to pick a time to look at houses with you . +Would mornings or afternoons be best for you ? +It is easier for me to take off work in the afternoon . +It is best if we can go during the week ; does that work for you ? +Because of work , I can only go look at houses on the weekend . +Would you like to meet at the real estate office , or should I pick you up at home ? +If you could pick me up at home , that would be great . +We could spend most of the day looking at houses to see all that we have to see . +That might be a little too much , but we ’ ll see how it goes . +I will fax you a schedule as soon as I contact the owners to confirm the times . +Mrs . Lee , I ’ Ve stayed here for almost a week . And I really must leave tomorrow . +Please feel free to stay as long as you want . You know you ’ re always welcome here . +Thank you . You ’ Ve been so nice to me . +Is there anything else I can do for you before your leave ? +No , thanks . You ’ Ve done a lot for me already . Thank you for everything . +Don ’ t mention it . I ’ Ve really enjoyed your company . +Mr . Black ? I'm from the Pacific Mechanical Company . +Oh , yes . Step inside , will you ? I'll give you an idea of what business I want to take up with you . Take a seat . We can go into details later . +Thank you . +Our speciality back in South Africa is wholesale supplying of screws , bolts , nuts , pins , studs , and that kind of things . +For wood or for metal ? +For both . Now , do you make machines for producing such things ? +Yes , we have a showroom not far away from here , Mr . Black . Are you free now ? +Yes , quite free until noon . +Fine . Then , shall we go right away ? I have a car outside . +Have you ? That's splendid . Just let me get my things together . I won't keep you long . +Take your time , sir . I can wait . +Shit , so crowded ! +The radio said it's OK on this road . +Things change every minute . +We have too many cars ! +I'd like to have this shirt washed and ironed . +OK , do you want us to use starch ? +Yes , heavy starch in the collar please . +Yeah , sir . Your shirt will be ready by Thursday morning . Anything else ? +I also have a suit to be dry-cleaned . Can I fetch it the day after tomorrow ? It's urgent . +No problem , sir . +Could you please tell me when your laundry opens and closes ? +We'll remain open from 9 a . m . till 8 p . m . +I see . +Here's your laundry ticket , sir . +Thank you . +Hello . Is this Ann ? +Yes , it is . Kelly ? +Yes , it's me . +Do you have a cold ? +No . Worse than that . I have a flu . I'm in bed with a fever . +Oh , no ! What about your presentation today ? +I'd like to do it , of course . But I just can't . I'm afraid I'd fall down in the middle of it . +I understand . What should I tell Mr . Morley ? +Why not just tell him I'm sick ? I'll ring him myself this afternoon . +Alright . Have you been to see a doctor ? +Not yet . I feel too lousy to go out.Anyway , I have a flu . I know what it is . I don't need a doctor to tell me that . +Do you think you'll be able to come in tomorrow ? Or should I call off your appointments for tomorrow too ? +I'm not sure yet.Maybe this will all be gone in a day . So it's probably better if you don't call off my appointments . I will call you later this afternoon and tell you what I think . +It's rainy weather today . Maybe it's better if you just stay inside.Make yourself some chicken soup and sleep . +Yes , that's what I plan to do . Except I won't make the chicken soup.Right now I don't think I could swallow more than a spoonful of it . +That bad , huh ? +Yeah , I'm very nauseous . It's mostly nausea and a fever . +Well , I'll cancel your appointments for today . And I'll tell Mr . Morley . +Thanks , Ann . Talk to you this afternoon . +Hope you feel better . +I don't have any more cash , and I have to get on another bus to get home . +Why don't you have any more money ? +I wanted some chips at lunch today , so I spent it . +That was a bright idea . +I know.Do you have some change I can borrow ? +You know what ? I don't have any change for you . +I need to get home . +Why don't you just ask the bus driver for a transfer ? +I don't have money for a transfer . +You know ? Go ask for a transfer . They're free . +Really ? oh ! I'm glad you let me know . +You're welcome . +We're going to have to postpone the meeting . +Why ? +Mr . Chen can't make it today . +Can you recognize Mike's father in the crowd ? +Yes , he's holding a bunch of books . +Let's run up and give him a hand . +Do you know what you're going to do this weekend ? +I am going to see a movie with a friend of mine . What about you ? +I don't know . +Would you like to see a movie with me and my friend ? +Do you know what movie you're going to watch ? +I don't know , but was there a certain movie you wanted to see ? +None that I can think of . +Well , would you like to go ? +Thank you for inviting me , but I think I'll pass . +All right . Another time then . +What is this ? I didn't order that . +I ’ m terribly sorry . May I have your order again ? I'll get it right away . +I've ordered savory pork and coleslaw . +I'm sorry . I must have made a mistake . I'll bring them for you at once . +Hey ! What is this ? +Pardon me , Miss . But didn't you order chicken soup ? +Oh , Is that what this is ? +I believe so . But if it really bothers you , I'll replace it for you . +No , don't replace it . Give a refund . +Sorry . I'm afraid we can't . But you may order something else instead . +Oh , really ? Give me a clam soup . +Okay , Miss . +Thank you . +I hope you enjoy your dinner . +How are you doing today ? +I ’ m fine . +What can I do for you ? +I would like to cancel a check . +Is there a problem ? +I wrote the check out for too much . +How much did you write it out for ? +I wrote it out for $ 150 . +How much was it supposed to be ? +It was supposed to be for $ 100 . +I ’ ll cancel that check for you . +I really appreciate your help . +It's nice of you to see me off . +It's my pleasure . Hope you ’ ll visit Beijing more often . +Thanks . Stop here now . +OK . I hope you have a good trip . Thanks ever so much for your cooperation , Mr . Simpson . Give my best wishes to Mr . Green . +OK , I will . Goodbye and remember to look me up if ever you're in Paris . +Goodbye and all the best . +OK , bye for now ! +Bye . +How was your flight from Hong Kong ? +Okay . What time is the meeting tomorrow ? +10:30 . I'll pick you up at the hotel at 10:00 . : 10:30 . +Pardon me . Please speak a little louder . +I said please stop by the entrance of EVA Air at the Arrival Terminal . +Sure . What else can I do for you ? +Oh , no . That ’ s it . Nice to chat with you . Have a good day . +Thanks a lot . We arrived at Kaohsiung International Airport . +Mr . McKenna , do you have a second ? I need to talk to you about something . +Sure , Liv , what can I do for you ? +Well , I was just wondering . . . you see , I know I ’ Ve used up all my vacation days this year , but my sister is getting married , and the wedding is overseas , and , well . . . +You wanna take some time off , is that right ? +Well , sir , I was just hoping that I might be able to take some unpaid leave this year . +What dates are you planning on taking off ? I ’ ll need at least two months notice , so that I can plan for your absence . +I was thinking of taking off from September first until the thirtieth . Would you be okay with that ? +Well , I guess so . +how can I help you ? +I'd like to buy some perform for my girlfriend . +do you know what kind of scent she usually wears ? +she usually doesn't wear anything but a few drops of Chanel No . 5 . But I'd like to buy her a new Fragrance . +ok , here are some of our most popular perfumes . +which one would you recommend ? +personally , I quite like the new perfume by Clinique . It's a subtle flowery scent . What do you think ? +that smells great . I'll take one bottle , please . +would you like to buy any other cosmetics for your girlfriend ? We have a full range of products from cosmetics to skin cleansers and moisturizers . +it's ok . She normally just wears a little foundation and some loose powder , and I wouldn't know what shade to buy . +how about some lipstick ? Every woman needs a nice tube of red lipstick . +she doesn't usually wear lipstick . She thinks it makes her nose look too big . +how about some mascara ? That will make her eyes look bigger . +no thank you . She has big enough eyes as it is . +I know what she would like---some whitening cream . +no thanks . Western women usually try to make their skin darker , no lighter . +will that be all then ? +that will be all . You're been very helpful , thanks . +Hello . Is there a room available tonight ? +What kind of room do you have in mind ? +I ’ d like a twin room , please . +Hold on , please .

Can you get the taxi here immediately , please ? +A taxi will be here in just a minute , sir . +Good . I'll get my coat and come downstairs . +The taxi will be ready when you are , sir . +I need to purchase some business cards . +No problem .

I'd like to have a check . +Sure , go ahead . +Sorry , sir , my mistake . This is your parking space . +That's all right .

I ’ m on extension 4283 . +Hi , Mark . +Hi , Bill . I ’ d like to take the apartment I looked at yesterday . +All right . +So , what do we do now ? +This is the lease . You should read the lease very carefully before you sign it because it describes your legal rights and responsibilities as a tenant . The lease also describes our rights and responsibilities as landlords . +Okay . ( Reads the lease ) So , according to the lease , I ’ ll deposit one month ’ s rent as a security deposit , and I have to pay the first month ’ s rent in advance . I understand that I ’ ll get the security deposit back when I move out if the apartment does not need any costly repairs . +Yes . If you do not damage the apartment , you will get your security deposit back when you move out . +Can I pay you by check ? +Sure . A check will be fine . +Is there a laundry room in the basement ? +Yes . +Can I sign the lease right now ? +Good morning ! What can I do for you ? +I'm thinking of travelling to Suzhou in July . Could you recommend some tourist programs for that ? +With pleasure . We arrange two kinds of tourist programs for Suzhou , a six-day tour by train and a five-day flying journey . +How much does a six-day tour by train cost ? +Five hundred yuan . +Does that include hotels and meals ? +Oh , yes , and admission tickets for places of interest as well . +That sounds reasonable . What about the five-day flying journey ? How much is that ? +Eight hundred and fifty yuan . +Covering all expenses ? +Yes . But there is no half fare for children . They must pay full fare . +I can't believe you wear jeans to the office ! Are you trying to lose your job ? +Of course not . I'm just observing casual day . On Fridays , the company doesn't require us to wear formal business attire . +Wow ! Nobody told me about that . Won't the relaxed dress code damage the company image ? +We don't think so . Casual days are becoming more common , and we believe employees can maintain a professional image without wearing uncomfortable clothes . +I guess it lets people express their individual tastes . But won't some people abuse it ? +Not really . Besides , there is a separate dress code for casual day . People can't just wear whatever they want . +It seems that a relaxed atmosphere could hinder productivity . +Believe it or not , it has the opposite effect . Employees are actually more productive on casual days . +ABC Company , my name is Lucy . How can I help you ? +Hello , Lucy , this is Monica . I ’ m calling for the accountant position . I saw the information about the vacancy on your company ’ s website . Is it still available ? +Thank you for your interest . The position is still available .

If all these is not problem for you , I recommend you to mention these in your cover letter and send it to me directly . +The notification period of my current job is not that long and I ’ m quite profession to English and I am happy with the traveling abroad as I ’ m good dealing with the people from other cultures . It makes the whole job even more interesting . I will send my resume to you still this week . +Can I help you ? +Yes , do you have any rooms available ? +A single ? +No .

Check out time is noon . +Is breakfast included ? +No . +Why didn't you go to school yesterday ? +I stayed home because I wasn't feeling well . +What was your problem ? +My stomach was bothering me . +Are you feeling any better ? +I'm still feeling a little sick . +I'm going to the store , would you like any Pesto Pistol ? +I'd appreciate that . +Excuse me , but please empty your pockets of all the metal things and put them in this tray . +Including my keys ? +Yes , and please step over there . +All right .

There are many customers here . +Yes , it's not too bad . Our sales are going up year after year . And we still have a large potential production capacity . +Well , what do you think of choosing a commission representative or agent abroad to promote your sales ? +That's a good idea . So far , we have several agents abroad . +We are willing to be your agent in Thailand for hand-held tools . What do you think ? +That sounds good . +Then , what's your usual commission rate for your agents ? +Usually , we give a commission of 4 % to our agents . +4 % is too low , I think . You see , we have a lot of work to do in sales promotion , such as advertising on radio or TV , printing booklets , leaflets , catalogues and so on . It all costs money , 4 % is not enough . +Don't worry . We'll allow you a higher commission rate if your sales score a substantial increase . +You mean to saya +It sounds OK . Then how do you pay the commission ? +We may deduct the commission from the invoice value directly or remit it to you after payment . +All right . If it's okay , we would like to sign an agency agreement with you immediately . +Think it over . We hope to keep a good business relationship with you . +Thank you for your help . +I'm glad these batteries are on sale . +I'm sorry . These batteries are not on sale . +But that's what the ad said . +I'm sorry . If you look at the ad again , you'll see that the other brand is on sale . +Oh . You're right . I misread the ad . +Yes , many people make that mistake . +Well , you can't blame them . It's a confusing ad . +You're right . Many ads are like that . +Well , as long as I'm here . +Just one second , and I'll give you the batteries that are on sale . +Hi , Jack , we are having a party tonight , wanna coming enjoy us ? You can bring your girlfriend , Tina . +I don't have a girlfriend . I'm single . +Oh , that's right . Well , there are going to be many beautiful girls at the party tonight , anyway . +No , I like being single . I never thought lonely , I'm focus on my career . Maybe I'll start to look for my girl when I achieve success . +Why is that ? +Because I'm living a real world , a man enriched have a good career and make a lot of money . Franklin speaking the girls I've met wounldn't married a man wounldn't make enough money . +I agree , a man needs good career.But that doesn't mean he should have a little fun , too . +So , Casey , how are things going with the photos for the press kit ? +Yeah , I ’ Ve been meaning to talk to you about that . I might need to ask for an extension on that deadline . +You ’ Ve had over a month to get this finalized ! Why are things delayed ? +Well , the thing is , we ran into a lot of problems . . . +I ’ m not looking for excuses here . I just want to get this finished on time ! +I know , and I apologize for the delay . But some things were just beyond my control . I had trouble booking the photographer , and then Michael was sick for three weeks , so I couldn ’ t include him in the photos , and the design team lost all the files , so I had to re-do the pictures . +I ’ m not going to put this off any longer , Casey ! I want those photos ASAP ! +Yes , sir ? +Can I have Mr . J . Smith paged ? He said he'd be in the main dining room . I'm Mr . J . B . White . +Who would you like to have paged again , sir ? +Mr . J . Smith . +Where would you like him to come ? +To the front desk . +Just a moment , please . +Can you help me find a lotion for a problem I am having ? +That ’ s what I am here for . What questions can I answer for you ? +I have poison oak , and I need help with the rash that won ’ t stop itching . +The best product is Techne , and you can buy either the lotion or cream . +Which one is best ? +The cream form is very popular . +Can I do anything else to help with the itching ? +You could also take an antihistamine to help the rash go away quicker . +I appreciate you helping me find a solution to the itching . +Anytime you have a question , please feel free to ask . +Excuse me . Something is wrong with my bank card . Can you help me ? +Yes . What's the problem ? +Just a mistake with my name . It should be issued as Steven , but the card is under the name ' Steven ' . +Oh , I am very sorry about that . It's our fault . I will arrange someone to correct it immediately . +OK , no problem . To err is human . +Anyway , we apologize for the inconvenience we have brought you . Please just wait for a moment , and it will be fixed . +Thank you very much . +We are doing Secret Santa at the office again this year . +Whose name did you pick ? +I got Jacob . Any ideas what to get him ? +Booze ! +Yeah , you ’ re right . Can ’ t go wrong with that . +Is everything to your satisfaction ? +No , the steak was recommended , but it is not very fresh . +Oh , sorry to hear that . This is quite unusual . I will look into the matter . +This is very annoying . +I'm sorry , sir . Do you wish to try something else ? That would be on the house , of course . +No , I don't risk it . +How about a delicious dessert then , with our compliment ? +I'm not keen on dessert as a habit . They are fattening . +I see , sir . I'm sure everything will be right next time you come . +Excuse me , are you Jane ? +No , I'm Mary . +Oh , are you in Class Four ? +No , I'm in Class There . +Excuse me , but I'm not feeling too well . I think I'm going to throw up . +There's an airsickness bag behind the seat that's in front of you . +I must've missed it . +Is this your first time flying ? +Yes . I'm going to San Francisco . +Oh , it's a beautiful city . I think you'll like it . +Hey , I'm feeling much better already . +Sometimes if you don't think about it , that sick feeling will go away on its own . +Thanks . By the way , my name is Mary . +I'm Frank . Nice to meet you . +Welcome to Al's Bakery . What can I get you ? +Hi ! Let me get a dozen croissants , four blueberry muffins and a loaf of sourdough bread . +Sure . Would you like to have the loaf sliced ? +No , that's OK . Do you have any whole wheat bread ? +We are out at the moment . May I suggest some rye bread ? +Sure that sounds good . Do you have any cakes ? +We have various birthday cakes and also ice cream cakes . +I'll just take a cheesecake . +Will that be all ? +Yes . +Your total is forty three dollars and twenty cents . +Good morning , ladies and gentlemen , we are happy you have all come out for our training workshop . Today we have a great line-up of speakers to talk to you . First on our program is a well-renown expert in the field of international economic development , Harvard's own Dr . James Smith . Dr . Smith has been involved in economic research for over twenty years , and has taught at Harvard since 1995 . And now , without further adieu , we'd like to welcome Mr . James Smith . +Thank you , Mr . Jackson , ladies and gentlemen , colleagues , friends . The subject of my talk is international relations in a morgen world . I plan to say a few words about the current situation in the Middle East and how it affects world economy . I'd like to give you an overview of the way that the economies of seemingly unrelated countries are intertwined . I've divided my talk into three parts , first an overview of international relations , second a discussion of current political situations , and lastly trends for the future . My presentation will take about two hours , but there will be a twenty-minute break in the middle . We'll stop for lunch at 12 . +You're looking rather pale , why ? +I couldn't sleep well recently . +You'd get plenty of sleep for you work so hard . +I always drink too much wine in the evening . +You shan't drink more wine in the evening . +Yes , you are right . +And you'd take some exercise every day . +Many thanks for your advice . +Hello Mrs Parker , how have you been ? +Hello Dr Peters . Just fine thank you . Ricky and I are here for his vaccines . +Very well . Let's see , according to his vaccination record , Ricky has received his Polio , Tetanus and Hepatitis B shots . He is 14 months old , so he is due for Hepatitis A , Chickenpox and Measles shots . +What about Rubella and Mumps ? +Well , I can only give him these for now , and after a couple of weeks I can administer the rest . +OK , great . Doctor , I think I also may need a Tetanus booster . Last time I got it was maybe fifteen years ago ! +We will check our records and I'll have the nurse administer and the booster as well . Now , please hold Ricky's arm tight , this may sting a little . +I ’ m interested in teaching at your school . +Great . Are you a qualified teacher ? +Yes . +What kind of teaching certificate do you have ? +I have a TEFL certificate . +How many years of experience do you have ? +I have three years of teaching ESL and four years of teaching per-school children . +When did you get your TEFL certificate ? +I got my TEFL certificate three years ago . +Why do you want to teach at our school ? +Well , I ’ Ve heard many good things about it . I also like teaching young children . +That ’ s great . Can you speak Chinese ? +Yes , just a little . +Can you come in for an interview tomorrow at 10:00 ? +I sure can . +Great . See you then . +Why is the car before us stopping ? +What's going on ? +Look . Two cars are standing right in the middle of the road and the drivers are shouting rude words to each other . That's why that car stops . +More and more people easily get irritated while driving . +Yes . This is what is called road rage . +This is today ’ s schedule . At 8 thirty AM , conference with the department managers . At 9 o ’ clock , live for the workshop where you ’ ll award prizes to the staff for preventatives . +That ’ s great . What are the prizes ? +3000 RIB as bonus for each person . +To encourage the staff increases . +Ok . Next thing is laying the corner-stone for the new plant at 10 AM . At 12 AM , back here for lunch . +What about the afternoon ? +At 2 PM , give a presentation here with the press . At four o ’ clock sharp , have dinner with Mr . Smith , manager of NCC . +This is Lincoln Bank , Consumer Credit Department . How can I help you ? +Ah , hello . I'm calling to find out how I apply for a car loan . +We offer a Personal Automobile Consumer Loan . The application process is pretty straight forward . I trust you have enough funds to cover the 20 % down payment ? +Yes , I do . It's ready and waiting in my account . +The next step is for us to recommend a dealer to you , who are already contracted to us , so ... +Could I just stop you there ? Sorry to interrupt , but I have already been to your appointed dealer and selected the car I want . +That will certainly cut down the processing time . We can move on to the next step . Do you have the purchase price ? +Yes , it's 110,000 RIB . So , with the down payment done , I will need to borrow 70,000 RIB . +What we need you to do next is to come into the branch with a correctly filled in application form , ID card , proof of residency , proof of income , the agreement from the agent and of course the 20 % down payment . +Yes , I have everything here . OK , I'll come in and see you later today . Maybe I could have my new car as early as next week ! How exciting ! +Hi , my name is Tom . +Tom , the new sales representative ? Nice to meet you ! I'm Melinda . +Nice to meet you too.Melinda . +Now let me show you around . This is our reception area , and our conference room is right over there . Over here is the sales department . +Really ? This is a nice office , but it's quite small . +Yeah ... You can make photocopies and send faxes over there . +It looks like you guys work hard . +I tell you what just between you and me , we just mess things up so that it looks like we work hard.Just kidding . Oh , your cubicle is over the . And this way . Those are all private offices the managers offices . +Hmm ... Tell me more details about our jobs . +Sure thing . +What do you think of our price ? +Your price has gone up sharply , hasn't it ? +Yes . We regret we cannot maintain our original price . Since the prices of the raw materials have been raised , we have to adjust the price of our products accordingly . +I agree with you there , but your price is unreasonable . +I don't think so . You must compare our price with that of other export houses . I'm sure our offer is in line with the prevailing market price level . +I don't think we'll be able to pay the price . To have this business concluded , you need to lower your price at least by 3 % . +I ’ m afraid that there is no room for any reduction in price . +Don't you agree with me that in the long run , moderate prices will bring about large sales and more profit ? +We've already cut down our price to cost level . +Is that all ? +Yes , this is the best we can do . +I'm sorry we can't handle the price you offered . +So , Jimmy , how does it feel to have your own money ? +It ’ s great , dad . I don ’ t mind delivering papers , but the real fun is collecting the money . +Even though you are only twelve , it ’ s not too early to start saving a little money . +I ’ Ve never had a bank account before . Why don ’ t I just keep my money under the matters like grandpa does ? +You know you would spend it . And also , money in the bank earns interest . +But what if I need my money suddenly ? +The bank will give you a PIN , and you can withdraw money from any ATM . +Great ! So it ’ s almost the same as keeping it under the matters ! +Not quite . You have to maintain a minimum balance of twenty dollars . And sometimes the bank has service charges . But you don ’ t have to worry about that yet . Let ’ s go make your first depot +OK . Guess I have to do that before . I can make money my first withdrawal . +Is this where I can catch a bus to the theater ? +Yes , but you can't get there with out a change . +Which bus do I have to change ? +You have to get off at the hospital and change for bus 15 . +I see . Thank you . +Here we are , Joan . This is the Palace museum , also known as the Forbidden city . +Oh , how splendid ! Can you take a picture of me here ? +Sure . +Excuse me . I'm afraid I got lost . Where am I on this map ? +We are here , bus station , we are in the heart of the city . +Oh ! Can I go from here to the Zhongshan Park ? +Head straight up the street about two blocks then turn right . +Tony , could you tell me if there are any special rules about the job ? +Working hours are from 8: 30 a . m . to 5:00 p . m . Be sure not to be late or absent . Report to the manager by filling in the ' Monthly Report ' every month . +Is there anything else ? How about my salary ? +Our company has a strict and reasonable salary standard . On the 20th day of every month , you can get your salary on time . Benefits depend upon the length of service and the employee's past attendance record . +Wow , thank you for telling me these . Do you mind telling me something else , like attendance record , holiday , and how to ask for leave ? +All new members are likely to ask the same questions . Haha . I can understand that . Every month you have three days off , besides the weekends and some important holidays . After you've been here for a year , you qualify for a one-week vacation . The leave less than a half-day should predict for an hour , and more than a half-day should predict three days . +Okay , that's good . I get it . +Kate , you never believe what's happened . +What do you mean ? +Masha and Hero are getting divorced . +You are kidding . What happened ? +Well , I don't really know , but I heard that they are having a separation for 2 months , and filed for divorce . +That's really surprising . I always thought they are well matched . What about the kids ? Who get custody ? +Masha , it seems quiet and makable , no quarrelling about who get the house and stock and then contesting the divorce with other details worked out . +That's the change from all the back stepping we usually hear about . Well , I still can't believe it , Masha and Hero , the perfect couple . When would they divorce be final ? +Early in the New Year I guess . +Overseas operator . +I would like to make a collect call to Taipei , Taiwan , please . +Your name , please . +Tim Chen . +What's the number , please . +The area code is 2 , and the number is 2367-9960 . +The line is connected . Please go ahead . +Hello . Excuse me . +Yes . Can I help you ? +Do you remember me ? I just had lunch here a half hour ago . +Of course I remember you . +I think I lost my wallet here . +Oh , no . Really ? I didn't see anything . +Really ? You didn't find a wallet ? +No , I didn't . Would you like to go look by the table with me ? +Yes , I would . It's not here . And it's not on the floor.Has anyone sat at this table since we left ? +No . It's been empty the whole time . +Hmm . I don't know how it could have happened . +I remember , sir , that your friend took the bill.You didn't pay for the lunch yourself , did you ? +No . My friend did . +Then are you sure you took your wallet out of your pocket while you were here ? +No , I'm not sure . But I usually take out my wallet when I sit down.It ' s uncomfortable to sit on it . So I usually put it next to me on the table . +Maybe you lost it before you came here . Or maybe you left it at home . +I don't think it's at home . I think I had it when I left the house.But what should I do ? +Well , the first thing you should do is make sure it's not at home.Then , if it isn't , you need to call your credit card companies and cancel your cards . Next , you need to replace whatever you lost , your driver's license , things like that . +Should I call the police ? +You can if you want . But the police usually don't do anything about lost wallets . +Hmm . I'll go home and check . Maybe you're right . Maybe it's at home . +I'm sorry we couldn't find it , sir . +Thanks for your help . +Good morning , young lady . You can call me Ma . Do you see anything you like ? +Yes . Many things ! I especially love this beautiful quilt . +That quilt was passed down to me from my ma in Holland . +It sounds like a special quilt . Why do you want to sell it ? +Well , this home is too big for me now , so I'm moving to an apartment that is much smaller . Therefore , I need to part with a few things . +Oh , I see . Umm , how much do you want for the quilt ? +Is fifteen dollars OK ? +Have you got change for a thousand ? +Let me see . +May I come in , Mr Sun ? +I ’ d rather you didn ’ t , Miss Yang . I ’ m very busy now . +Can I try later then ? +Yes , of course . +Is it all right for me to come in now , Mr Sun ? +Well , uh ... I ’ m still pretty busy , but ... all right . Come in . What can I do for you ? +Do you mind if I sit down ? +Not at all . Take a seat . Now what can I do for you ? +I want to leave the department . Do you think I could put info a transfer ? +Yes . But why should you want to do that ? +Do you mind if I speak frankly ? +Not at all . Go ahead . +Well . You see , I don ’ t like the office . I don ’ t like the staff . And I ’ m afraid of you . And I don ’ t want to go one . So may I put info a transfer ? +Yes . I ’ d be delighted if you did . +Where is that ? +Take me to the airport , please . +Are you in a hurry ? +I have to be there before 17 o'clock . +We'll make it except a jam . You know it's rush hour . +There's an extra ten in it for you if you can get me there on time . +I'll do my best . +Here's twenty dollars . +Do you have small bills ? +No . If you can't break it , keep the change . But can you give me a receipt ? +Here is your receipt . Thank you . +Recently I have been getting headache and my eyes don't seems to see focus properly . +When did you last time have your eyes checked ? +Two years ago . At that time I had no problems.Now I can ’ t even make out something ten meters away . +Come over here . I will test your eyes . First cover your left eye like this , and when I point , please read the chart from the top , and go as far as you can , telling me which way the “ E ” points . +All right . +Good.Now the other eye . +Well , this one is worse . +Never mind , just read as far as you can . +I can only read the first three lines . +Is there a car park near the supermarket ? +Yes , there is an underground car park near the supermarket . +I see . Thanks . +Oh , come on , Ultraman ! +What's up , Bro ? What's in the bulletin ? +It says that there will be a blackout from 5 p . m . to 7 p . m . in our neighborhood today . +Blackout ? Even the TV has the limit . +Don't you know you will look like a monster in the blackout ? +Oops , no , Daddy can't watch American Idol , either ! +That's not the point . Come on , can you imagine that there will be no electricity on such a hot day ? +Oh , my god ! No air-conditioner ! +OK , since you are the smart one , can you come up with a better plan ? So that we won't be baked like cookies here . +How about playing Barbie out there in the neighborhood ? +Barbie ? You know , I might be seven , but I'm not a girl . +Do you have a better plan ? +All right , all right . +Yes , ma'am , how could I help you ? +I am wondering if you do facial care ? +Yes , we do . +How much would it be ? +From 200 to 800 . +I'm afraid 800 is too expensive for me . Could you recommend something around 300 ? +No problem . +Can I help you , Miss ? +I would like to order 2 office-style cabinets and desk calendars . We want office-style cabinets in white . The catalogue number is 90 - f - 2356 . +How soon do you want it ? +Could you deliver it tomorrow ? +No problem . +Please handle the items carefully . +Certainly . +We will pay by collect on delivery . +I hate to do this to you , Alice , but I ’ m going to have to ask you to put in some more overtime . +Does it have to be this afternoon , Mr . Fairbanks ? I ’ Ve already made plans . +Well , I would have preferred to do it today , but if you ’ Ve already made plans , we can do it tomorrow . +I ’ d appreciate that , sir . How long do you think you ’ ll need me to stay ? +What ’ s your attitude when do wrong things at work ? +The buck stops here . +Hello ! Is your company advertising for administrative assistant on the newspapers ? +Well , Administrative assistant with shorthand and typing skills are badly needed here . +First I want to check about the availability and see if you could give me more information . +The position calls for a person with some working experience . We must be able to benefit from your analytical and interpersonal skills . Can you deliver your resume to us first ? +Of course . I will deliver my resume to you in minutes ' time . I hope you will consider my application and I shall appreciate a reply at your earliest convenience . +OK . I will call you soon . Bye now . +Bye . +Just as the saying goes , every potter praises his own pot . You should pay special attention to selling yourself properly in the interview . +It is especially important for the graduates who step into the job market for the first time . +You'd better prepare what you are going to say in advance , in order to have a good performance in the interview . +The contents should be mainly descriptions of your background . And the length depends on the particular situation . +Only when you are aware of what the interviewer will be interested in , can you make a targeted preparation . +To sell yourself successfully , you should leave the interviewer a deep impression . +Selling yourself should go straight to the point , and the statement should be clear and brief . +It should also be truthful and realistic . Do not blindly blow your own horn . +You should particularly state your strong points which are closely related to the position you are applying for . +While you should not omit your weak points , they need to be described appropriately +Time permitted , you could add certain examples to your description . +Besides , in the interview , it is best that you make corresponding adjustments to apply your prepared contents flexibly . +Hello ? +Hi , Deborah ! This is John . I'm calling from Australia . +What are you doing in Australia ? +I'm attending a conference in Sydney this week . Remember ? +Oh , right . What time is it there ? +It's 10:00 P . M . And it's four o'clock in Los Angeles , right ? +Yes - four o'clock in the morning . +4:00 A . M . ? I'm really sorry . +That's OK . I'm awake now . +John hasn't turned up and Stefan is ill . Do we have anyone on stand-by ? +I'm afraid not , we're very short-staffed at the moment . Can you ask the shift supervisor to ask one of his team to do some overtime ? Perhaps Tommy can stand in for an hour or two until we find a replacement . +Jack , let ’ s go ! +Oh , you are out of breath ! What happened ? +Some people are wildly shooting on the next street . We must leave here as soon as possible ! +Take it easy . They will get caught . +Hello . May I speak to Jerry , please ? +Sorry , but he is out for lunch right now . +I see . Can you give me some idea how long he'll be back ? +I think he will be back around 2:00 . If you like , please leave your name and phone number , I'll have him call you as soon as he comes back . +That's nice . My name is Steven , my phone number is 6789777 . Okay , I'll be waiting for his call . Thank you and bye ! +My pleasure , bye ! +Excuse me , Miss . +What can I do for you ? +I've just heard an announcement that my flight has been delayed . +What's your flight number ? +Flight CA216 to Chengdu . +Yes , it's true . It has been delayed . +Could you please tell me why ? +Yes , of course . The delay is due to heavy rain . +How long will the delay be ? Do you have any further information about it ? +I am sorry , we don't know the extent of the delay at present . But according to the latest weather forecast , there will be a change in weather soon . +We have to wait . Well , is it possible for the rain to stop before noon ? +It's hard to say . Weather is so changeable in the summer . Please listen to the latest announcement about your flight . +Yes , I will . Thanks a lot . Bye ! +Bye +What are we going to do ? I can't get the car out of this ditch . I'm stuck ! +I'm worried , Tom . I haven't seen any other cars for almost an hour . +I know . This is terrible . What can we do ? This snow doesn't stop falling ! +I told you we should have stayed in town today.The weather report said 100 percent chance of snow.Why did you want to come up here ? +I wanted to show you the cabin . We only had another half-hour to go . +Well , now we're stuck . What can we do ? +I don't know . +I've heard that when this happens , it's important to save energy . +What do you mean ? +We're stranded here , Tom . We may be here a long time.We need to conserve the gas in the car . The car's energy is what will keep us warm . +I have plenty of gas . +Yes , but the gas and the battery both have to stay working.We can't just let the car run and run.If we do , it will die soon . Then we'll freeze . +So what can we do ? +Turn the lights off.Then , run the car and the heater only about fifteen minutes every hour.That will conserve the heat as long as possible . +Alright . That's a good idea . +I wish we hadn't come up here . Now we'll probably be here for days . +Days ? +Yes , it happens.That is what happens in big snowstorms . People get stranded for days . +Oh , my God ! It's good we have food . +Probably we'll survive.But turn the car off for about forty-five minutes . Then we'll turn it on again . +Hey , buddy , can ’ t you see there ’ s a line ? +Oh , sorry . I didn ’ t know . +What ? You haven ’ t taken the bus before ? +No , I ’ m afraid not . +Well , you have to wait in line like everyone else . Besides , you should let old people on first . +Sorry . +It ’ s all right . Where are you going ? +I wanted to see the White House . +Oh , well you don ’ t want this bus , anyway . It goes to Georgetown . +Oh , no . +It ’ s all right , though . Just get off at the next stop and catch the 79A . +Oh , well thank you very much . +You ’ re welcome . +Can I help you ? +I'd like the double cheese burger meal , please . +What kind of drink would you like with that ? +Just coke will be fine . +Would you like a super size meal ? Only 2 RIB more , you'll get large coke and fries instead of medium . And today we are offering free toys all the meal boxes . +That sounds good , thanks , I'd like that . Actually I'd like sprite instead of coke , thanks . +That's not a problem , Miss . Will that be it ? +Yes , that's all . +That will be 25RMB , please +You got it . +Do you have any night tours ? +Yes , we will depart in 10 minutes . +Is that a guided tour ? +Yes , it is . +That's fine . Let's get on the bus . +I am sure we will make it up as soon as possible . +That's nice . +We hope this matter will not affect our good relations in our future dealings . +Of course not . We have cooperated for a long time . +I would like to purchase some meat . +What kind of meat would you like to get today ? +First off , I'm going to need a pound of ground beef . +A pound of ground beef is $ 2.48 . +That's perfect . +What else will you be needing ? +I'm also going to need three pounds of chicken breasts . +The chicken breasts cost $ 4.05 per pound . +What's the total price for the chicken ? +It's going to be $ 12.15 . +Okay , I think that will be all for me today . +I think you know already that I want to discuss the represent - ton for your alarm clocks . +Yes , Mr . Bergeron . You mentioned that in your letter . To tell you the truth , your proposal surprised us . +Is that so ? Anyhow I want to go over the details with you in person , so you can give my suggestion thorough consideration . Our firm specializes in this line of business . We have six sales representatives , who are on the road all the time , covering the whole of the European market . +Do you sell direct to shops ? +Yes , we specialize in handling clocks and watches of all sorts . We have well established channels of distribution and we canvass the retailers direct , without any middlemen . +Do you keep a stock of these things ? +In some cases , such as the wristwatches , which always have a steady market , we keep a stock in London and act as distributors as well as agents . Generally , however , we pass on the orders of our clients to the manufacturers for supply . We are paid for our service , of course . +That is , your commission . +Yes , our commission is very reasonable . We usually get a 10 % commission of the amount on every deal . +Our agents in other areas usually get a 3-5 % commission . +The European market is not familiar with your products . You have competitors from Japan and other continental countries . At the beginning of our campaign , there is sales resistance to overcome , we must send out salesmen to do a lot of traveling and spend a considerable amount of money on advertising in news - papers and TV programs . A 10 % commission will not leave us much . +According to your estimate , what is the maximum annual turn - over you can fulfill , in round figures , of course ? +We will always do our utmost to enlarge the business , as our remuneration increases with the turnover , but we will not guar - ante anything , at least not to begin with . +We appreciate very much your intention to push the sale of our products . But our suggestion to you , Mr . Bergeron , as a preliminary step , is to do a little research into the market ... +Do you mean to say you refuse us the agency ? +Mr . Bergeron , you leave us no alternative . We can not give you an exclusive agency of the whole European market without having the slightest idea of your possible annual marketing turnover . Besides our price is worked out according to the costing . A 10 % commission means an increase in our price . We must have the reaction of the buyers in this respect . +Oh , that's just too bad . I intended to make great efforts in selling your products . +Well , we can still carry on our business relationship without the agreement . To start the ball rolling , we will provide you with price lists , catalogues and some samples . Only when you have a thorough knowledge of the marketing possibilities of our products , can we then discuss further details . +Ah , Mrs . Miller , but in this case am I covered ? +Oh , yes . We will give you a 5 % commission on every transaction . +All right , but I'll be back again for the Autumn Fair . And then I hope we can see eye to eye about our commission and the terms of the agency . +Very good . We will discuss the matter again at the next Fair . +Excuse me , I ’ m sorry to trouble you . My name is Susan Ransom , and I have placed several orders with you company . +Yes , Mr . Ransom ? This is Karl Miller .

So I am afraid that the film studios are really getting hard time to survive . +What you said is true . But the film producers there are more flexible ways to get more audience . For example , to make more movie Ccds , so people will spend money buying them . +But it is true that cinemas are losing the attraction they used to have in the past . +Yes . Take myself for example . I seldom go to cinemas , but it doesn't mean I no longer see films ; instead , I see films at home-watching Ccds . +Okay , well I ’ m sure you have a number of questions to ask me regarding the position . +Yes , well Miss Childs did give mean overview of the position over the phone , but there were some details I ’ d like to clarify . +Well feel free to ask me anything , and I ’ ll try to fill in the details . +Could I first ask about the remuneration package ? +Yes , of course .

And are there other bonuses included ? +Well , apart from full health insurance we do offer a company staff bonus scheme linked to readership numbers . But we could go through all the details of that at a later date . +Well , Mr . Parsons , I am flexible when it comes to salary . The opportunity to work in Hong Kong for you is the most important thing for me . +Excellent . Well , what other questions do you have Rebecca ? +We need to take the accounts system offline to carry out the upgrade . But don't worry , it won't cause too much inconvenience . We're going to do it over the weekend . +How long will the system be down for ? +We'll be taking everything offline in about two hours ' time . It'll be down for a minimum of twelve hours .

In the long period of cooperation , the university has established good relationship with the companies or organizations , they trust each other well . If your university recommends you , you can be approved more easily . +But I find that most of the recommendation letters written by universities are the same .

Just the person I wanted to see . +So what is it ? +You gotta help me out this time , buddy . +Another tough thing , I guess . +Hey ! What happened ? ! My song was only half way through and it skipped to the next song . +I don't know what happened ! +You cancelled the song , didn't you , Jack ? +No , I didn't .

When you leave , show it to the waiter behind the counter , please . +Thank you . Could you show us to our table now ? +Would you please follow me , please ? +Thank you . +This is your table . It's Number 10 . +Hello , ma ’ am . Can I help you ? +I ’ m looking for a sweater . +What size are you looking for ? +Well , I ’ m looking for size 10 but you don ’ t have it . +How about this one ? I think it looks terrific on you . +Yes , I like the color . Can I try it on ? +Sure . The fitting room is on your right . +It fits well . I like it a lot . What do you think ? +You look pretty in red . +Oh , it ’ s my favorite . How much is it ? +$ 29.99 . +Okay . I ’ ll take it .

Their system is newer than ours . +That's why you can't open it . You'll have to upgrade before you can read the file . +What kind of character do you think you have ? +Generally speaking , l am an open-minded person . +What is your strongest trait ? +Cheerfulness and friendliness . +How would your friends or colleagues describe you ? +They say Mr . Sun is a friendly , sensitive , caring and determined person . +What personality do you admire ? +I admire a person who is honest , flexible and easy-going . +How do you get along with others ? +I get on well with others . +Hi , I need to make an appointment to see the doctor . +What seems to be the problem ? +I have a rash that I need a doctor to look at . +Do you have a fever with that rash ? +No , it just itches a lot . +I have openings on Tuesday or Wednesday .

Here's my Bank Book . Will that cause a problem ? +On your account there is no limit to over the counter withdrawals , it won't cause a problem . Here's your money , 10,000 RIB . Please count it before you leave . +Yes , that seems to be all in order . Thanks very much . +Quality is very important to us . We work to very low tolerance levels . We need to have guaranteed supplies of consistently high quality raw materials . Over the years we've built up very good relationships with our suppliers . +Do you have many different suppliers ? +Yes . There are about fifty names on our approved supplier list , but for raw materials we tend to deal with three local companies . +Mary , can you tell me how you keep in shape ? +You'll never be in shape until you eat less and take more exercise . +Now , tell me what you often eat . +I often eat fish and eggs . +Do you eat a lot of vegetables ? +Oh yes , and fruits . I love fruits very much . +What do you like to drink ? +Well , I never drink alcohol , coffee or tea . +Whatever would you like to drink ? +I drink a lot of milk . I drink milk almost every day . +How often do you exercise ? +Well , I walk every day . +It's a good diet and a regular exercise . +Yes , quite right . +I am sorry , but I cannot stay for the rest of class today . +Why do you need to leave early ? +I don ’ t feel so good . +What doesn ’ t feel right ? +I feel as if I am going to be sick to my stomach . +Perhaps you should get checked out at the Student Health Center before you go home . +I have some medicine at home that I could take . +Are you going to be OK to drive home , or would you like someone to go with you ? +Thank you , but my friend is in the library , and he can give me a ride home . +We hope that you are feeling better soon .

Wang , would you give us an idea of the price you regard as workable ? +As I said before , your price is so high that we find it difficult to make a bid . We hope you will take the initiative and bridge the gap . +Just to comply , we're ready to reduce the price by 5 percent . I hope this concession of ours will get the ball rolling . +So do we . Certainly it's a step forward on your side . But the gap is still too wide . +The ball is in your court , Mrs.Wang . What price would you suggest ? +To make your offer workable , I think you should take another step down as big as the one you've just taken . +That won't do . You see , our profit margin is very narrow . It simply can't stand such a big cut . +I hate to disappoint you , Mr . Brown , but if that's the case , we have no alternative but to cover our requirements elsewhere . Do think it over , please . We sincerely hope our discussion will come to a successful conclusion . +Well , I'm not authorized to agree to such a big reduction .

Thank you , Quinn . I'll be back tomorrow with a new set . Bye for now . +Oh ! ! ! I have a horrible toothache . +You should go to the dentist . +I hate dentists . +Well , suffer then . If you have a toothache , you have to go to the dentist . +It always hurts . I hate going . +Stop being such a baby . If it really hurts that much , just let them knock you out . +O . K . , O . K . , I ’ ll go . +Good . You'll feel better after you do . +Hi , I would like to purchase a one way ticket to Brussels , please . +Certainly sir , this is our train schedule . We have an express train departing every morning and an overnight train that departs at nine pm . +How long does it take to get there ? +About twelve hours . We currently have tickets available only for first class on the express train . If you ’ d like , you can choose a sleeper on the overnight train which is a bit less expensive . +Yeah , I think that is the best option . Do you serve food on the train ? Twelve hours is such a long time ! +Yes , of course . There is a dining car towards the front of the train where they serve meals at all times . We do provide complimentary water and coffee for all of our passengers . +Great ! I ’ ll take it . +Here you are sir . Your train leaves from platform number nine at nine on the dot . Remember to be here at least thirty minutes before your scheduled departure time or else you might miss your train ! +I understand . Thank you very much ! +Have a great trip . +I would like to take a trip to the beach this weekend . +A trip to the beach would be fun . How is the weather going to be ? +The forecast says that it will be warm on the weekend . +So do you think it'll be perfect weather for the beach ? +It sounds like it will be . +I really hope it doesn't get cold . +That would ruin things , I want to go so badly . +The weather in California is unpredictable , so you never know . +That is true . The weather is constantly changing . +It would be nice if the weather would never change . +That would be great , then we could plan things sooner . +True . Predictable weather would make life easier . +Some companies use to ban dating among employees , but now they have realized it is something in avertable . People spend so much time at work . It is not surprising for one to have a crash on the other . +If we think positively , office love can be beneficial to company . +Beneficial ? I don ’ t think so . If two employees get married , they will leave at the same time for a honeymoon , or later one of them will stay at home taking care of babies . If they break up , the company will probably have to relocate one of them to make the workplace more comfortable . By any means , the company must spare extra efforts to solve problems brought by an office dating . +But if two employees are in love , they will be happy . Happy people are more productive . If they develop an intimate relation with each other , they are willing to share knowledge and experience . It can help to improve work efficiency . +I doubt that . +Do you eat a lot of healthy food ? +Compared with healthy food , unhealthy food just tastes so much better . And anyway , I believe if you live a low stress Life and are active , you can get away with eating whatever you like . It's all in the mind . +You have the point . I think cancer is caused by more worry than by the things we consume . Some good things you should try are cranberry juice , wild rice and yoghurt . +What's special about these things ? +Cranberry juice is very good for destroying harmful bacteria in your guts because it's very acidic . Wild rice is high in fibre so it's good for your guts and it's high in protein and minerals-I think it's also tastier than normal rice . Yoghurt's good because it's also rich in protein , vitamins and is also acidic . People have been making yoghurt for thousands of years and if you have it every day , your guts will be much more settled . +Thanks . I'm going to follow your advice and pop down to the supermarket right now . +I've been so tired recently . I've been trying , but I don't think I'm up to this job . +You need to take a break , maybe a vacation . +Oh , yes , indeed . I've run out of steam . To be honest , I want to be in a different environment . +Is that so ? +Yes , I don't want to be stuck in a rut . I want to move on . +Have you decided ? +Yes . I want to get a better job . +Could you tell me why you want to quit ? +I quit just because of the dissatisfying salary and the trouble in getting along with my colleagues . +Oh , that's terrible . Do you want to get a higher salary in our company ? +I'm afraid not . I've promised my girlfriend . We'll travel southwards to find a job that offers higher pay . +OK , I'd like to say that I've really enjoyed working with you . However , I think you should work harder for your new job and then you can ask for higher pay . +Thank you so much for your advice . +And every best wish for your new job . +Thank you . +The train is leaving . Hurry up ! Which car are we in ? +Let me see . Oh , No . 11 . +Here we are , Car 11 . Let's get in . +Seats No . 20 and 21 . It ’ s nice that we ’ Ve got a window seat . +Let's put our suitcases on the rack . +Oh , the baggage rack is full . Put them under the seat for the time being . +All right . +So , how should we get to the theatre ? +Let's take the bus . +I hate the bus system in London ! The bus drivers are rude , the buses are never on time , and there are few people around who can help you . +It's not that bad . You probably just had a bad experience once . +It wasn't just once . Every single time I take the bus , something bad happens to me or to someone else on the bus . +We could take the subway , but we'd have to go three stops along one line and then change trains twice . +Train fares are twice as expensive as the bus fare , too . +If we don't hurry up , we'll miss the show . Should we take the bus ? +We're already late , so I think we had better take a taxi . +I don't think we'll be able to find a taxi very easily during hush hours . Let's just take the bus . +Fine . Have a look at the timetable to find out when the next one arrives . +It looks like it should be here in just a few minutes . don't worry . Nothing bad will happen . I'll even buy your ticket for you . +Thanks , that was nice of you . +See , now something good has happened to you on a bus trip ! +Let's go over this plan again . +From Vancouver , we bike along the border all the way to Winnipeg . +And that is mostly flat , right ? +Relatively , once we're out of Alberta , anyway . Then it's hills again in Aitoba . +And from Winnipeg we go around the lakes through Toronto , right ? +That's right . And up in to Quebec . And that's where we stop . +It doesn't sound like that much when we go over the plan but that's a long , long ride . +Are you ready for the cross country of a lifetime ? +Good morning , sir . What can I do for you ? +I'm Bill . I'm in Room 908 . Can you change the room for me ? It's too noisy . My wife was woken up several times by the noise the baggage elevator made . She said it was too much for her . +I'm awfully sorry , sir . I do apologize . Room 908 is at the end of the corridor . It's possible that the noise is heard early in the morning when all is quiet . +Anyhow , I'd like to change our room . +No problem , sir . We'll manage it , but we don't have any spare room today . Could you wait till tomorrow ? The American People-to-people Education Delegation will be leaving tomorrow morning . There'll be some rooms for you to choose from . +All right . I hope we'll be able to enjoy our stay in a quiet suite tomorrow evening and have a sound sleep . +Be sure . I'll make a note of that . Everything will be taken care of . And if there is anything more you need , please let us know . +It's time for bed . +I'm not ready to go to sleep . I'm not tired . +It's quite late , and you have an early day tomorrow . +I'm not going to be able to fall asleep . +Why don't you try counting sheep ? +I've tried that before . It really doesn't work . +That's beside the point , you still need to go to bed . +Why can't I just stay up until I fall asleep ? +If I let you do that , then you're just going to be up all night . +I promise I'll go to sleep soon . +No , you're going to sleep now , so good night . +See you in the morning . +I see myself as being honest , diligent , persevering and creative . And I have a strong sense of responsibility . +How about your psychological resilience ? +I think I can work well under pressure , if necessary . +How would you deal with those who are not easy to get along with ? +I will just be sincere and friendly to others , and I believe they will treat me the same way . +You seem to be a kind-hearted lady . +Thank you . I simply believe the goodness of human nature . +Please tell me your weaknesses if you can . +I should admit that sometimes I care too much about the details . I am always in pursuit of perfection . +Karen ? I need to go over a few things with you . +Certainly . Mr . Graham . When would you like to meet ? +I was thinking about this afternoon , after the sales meeting . +Fine . At 3:30 ? +I believe we ' Ve met before . My name's David . +Yes , at your company , I think . I'm Frank . +Oh , I remember now.Very nice to meet you again . +Nice meeting you , too . +I made my little brother cry . +Shame on you ! +I need some mascara . Do you have good thickening mascara ? +Of course . Here is our thickening mascara . We also have mascara designed to lengthen the eyelashes . +Alright . And I want to consider your eye shadow too . Do you have a color chart can look at ? +We have a very wide selection of colors . And our eye shadow is specially designed to moisturize the skin . So it is very gentle on your eyelids . Would you like to sample some ? +Oh , sure I will need to clean off my own eye shadow first . +I can help you with that . +Thank you . +Is this the baggage claim area for flight KB256 ? +Yes , we are on the same plane . +But I am a transfer passenger . I have a connecting flight to Miami . +So you have to bring your baggage to the transfer check-in area . +Yes.It ' s quite troublesome . +Why not go and find a porter ? +Billy , you don ’ t look too well . Maybe you should take the day off school . +But Mom ! Today we ’ re playing football ! I love football ! +You ’ Ve got a fever and playing football isn ’ t a good idea for a boy with a fever . What ’ s that on your arm ? +I don ’ t know . It was there when I woke up this morning . +It ’ s rash . I ’ d better take you to see the doctor . How did you get that bruise on your leg ? +I bashed it against the chair in my room . +Does it hurt ? +A little , but not much . +Here . Put this wet towel on your face to keep your temperature down . I ’ ll take you to the doctor ’ s after breakfast . +If I ’ m better this afternoon , can I go to school ? +If you are better , but I doubt you will be . +This is your schedule . +You're going out of your way for us , I believe . +You are our honored guests . +Are there any vacancies still available ? +Yes . We need a plumber here . +I am looking for a job that is more advanced than that , such as sales manager or regional manager . +I am sorry . They are not available now . +My name is Mary , and I will be your waitress tonight . +Thank you , Mary . We have been looking forward to trying out this restaurant . +Before your main course , would you like to order an appetizer ? +Sure , that sounds great . Where are your appetizers listed ? +There is a special appetizer menu right here in the center of the table . +The chicken and cheese quesadilla looks good . Is that pretty good ? +You know , that is one of my favorites ! +OK , I'll take one order of that . +You could choose another appetizer for half price to share . +Perfect ! Please add on an order of onion rings . +I am waiting for a fax but just now I found there's something wrong with the fax machine . +What's wrong with the fax machine ? Is it urgent ? +Yes , very urgent . And there is no other fax machine around . And the office of our boss is closed , so I can not use his machine either . And his secretary is out . Do you have any suggestion ? +Either call this extension number 0085 or ask them to send the fax to you as e-mail , you print it out . +I would like to speak to you , if you don ’ t mind . +What would you like to speak to me about ? +I would like to talk to you about this year ’ s election . +Is that right ? +I am a volunteer for this year ’ s campaign . +That ’ s wonderful . I am impressed at someone so young taking a stand . +I know history is about to be made , and I would like to be a part of it . +That ’ s fantastic . +Are you planning on voting ? +I ’ m going to vote . +Go to your polling place early on Election Day . +I will . Good luck with your volunteering . +We hope that there will be no repetition of this kind of trouble in the future . +Yes . I promise it will not happen again . +We look forward to your settlement at an early date . +We will inform you as soon as possible . +Hello , Steven . How do you get along with your job ? +Actually , I learn many things from it . I find that I am a quick learner in new things . +Practice makes perfect . By the way , what do you learn from your job ? +At first I didn't know anything about the machine . Now I know how to operate it . Besides , the work gives me a sense of fulfillment and achievement . +Yeah , you are a good learner . I must commend you for your good performance . +Thank you . That's a long way to go for my job . +I appreciate your effort very much . The coffee break is over ; it's about time we set to work . +OK , let's go . +Where on earth are we ? +Judging by all the traffic , I'd say we're near the outskirts of the city . +What did I do wrong ? Did I take a wrong turn ? +I'm not sure , but I think you turned right when you should have turned left on the flyover bridge . +Well , now we should turn back a few kilometres . +It seems that the traffic sign is much more important than the map . +Hello . Front desk . +Yes . This is Bob Robinson . I ’ m calling from room number 627 . +Hi , Bob . What can I do for you ? +Is it possible to change to another room ? +Could you please tell me why ? +My room is facing the swimming pool . It ’ s noisy for me . I have a problem sleeping . And I feel uncomfortable when I take an elevator . +So you need a quiet side room on the lower floor . +You ’ re right . +Okay . Let me check for a room on the first floor . +Thank you . +I ’ Ve only two rooms on the first floor . How about room 108 ? +That ’ s fine . Can I move now ? +Sure . I ’ ll send the bellman to help you . +Oh , thank you kindly . +You ’ re welcome . +How long will it take for our order to be delivered ? +Let's see . You are importing fifty containers of textiles from China . They should be able to place your order before the end of next week . It will take 2 days for shipping to the port city of Ningpo . The freight will take 3 weeks on the open ocean and will arrive in Los Angeles approximately a month from today . Domestic shipping will be your responsibility , you can make arrangements with the pier in Los Angeles . +Fine , we will handle domestic shipping , but what about customs ? Will we have to pay tariff on our imports ? I hope we don't run into any problems with the border control . +No , the Chinese company has that all worked out . With the paperwork you receive with the shipment , you should be good to go . +Now you're my boss , Mr . Henry . +Do you have any other particular conditions that you would like the company to take into consideration ? +No , nothing in particular . +You may ask questions about us , if you have any . +All right . When can I start ? +What are you doing here today ? +I would like to fight my ticket . +Is the arresting officer in the courtroom today ? +Yes , the officer is here today . +What's your case ? +I was pulled over for running a red light , but I never did . +Do you believe that the officer lied ? +There was a camera on the signal . So , he was obviously lying . +Your license plate was caught on camera ? +A picture of my license plate was never taken . +Since there is no picture of your license plate on record , I'm going to let you go . +Thank you . I'm glad that you believe me . +Hey Joe , what are you doing in this department store ? +Hi , Rita , I'm just looking for a pair of shoes . I won't be here for long . +Why not ? When I go shoe shopping , I have so many options for sneakers that I spend awhile looking at all of the choices . +That's my problem . I don't have a lot of options . +What do you mean ? This is a big store , isn't it ? +Yes , but I have unusually big feet . That wouldn't be too much of a problem except that they're also very wide , and only a few brands sell shoes that I can fit into . +So how do you usually go about buying shoes , then ? +Well , first of all , I can only go to certain stores that can guarantee me a large selection . +Well , you're in the right store . If they don't have it , no one will . +After that I choose something from one of the few brands that I know will fit me . I prefer white , so I ask them to bring me a pair of white sneakers in my size . Since I ’ m usually only given one or two pairs of shoes that meet my qualifications , it makes it a very easy choice . +what shall we do after the volleyball match ? +how about going to the Olympic souvenir store to have a look ? I remember there is one in the gym . +that's a good idea . I was thinking of buying some gifts for my family . +me , too . What did you have in mind ? +I haven't decided yet , but I think the Olympic Mascots are a must . +I agree . They're very lovely , especially " Huan Huan " . +is that the red one ? That is my favorite , too . Do you know how much they are ? +the five dolls are sold together as a set , and they're priced according to the size . The bigger they are the more expensive . +oh , I see . If I buy more than a set , can I get any discount ? +I don't think so . All the souvenirs of the Olympic Games are very hot right now . +any other ideas ? +there are lots of things , such as postcards , key chains , posters and various arts and crafts . +it all sounds great . We can go there after the match . I can't wait to see what they have . +Mom ! I hate eating vegetables ! +You don ’ t have to eat them . I don ’ t mind . +Thanks mom ! Can I have dessert now ? I love chocolate cake ! +No dessert for you unless you eat all your vegetables . +But I don ’ t like them ! It ’ s not fair ! +You can have some fruit for dessert . If you eat an apple and a banana , I might let you have a small piece of chocolate cake . +Ok ... actually , I don ’ t mind eating peas and carrots , buy I hate broccoli and cauliflower . +I ’ ll remember that for next time . You ’ ll get extra peas and carrots , buy no broccoli or cauliflower . OK ? +Thanks mom ! +It was very kind of you to give me a tour of the place . It gave me a good idea of your product range . +It ’ s a pleasure to show our factory to our customers . What ’ s your general impression , may I ask ? +Very impressive , indeed , especially the speed of your NW Model . +That ’ s our latest development . A product with high performance . We put it on the market just two months ago . +The machine gives you an edge over your competitors , I guess . +Certainly . No one can match us as far as speed is concerned . +Could you give me some brochures for that machine ? And the price if possible . +Right . Here is our sales catalog and literature . +Thank you . I think we may be able to work together in the future . +Is the factory fully-automated ? +Not completely . Our production process is partially-automated . We use robots on the production line for routine assembly jobs but some of the work is still done manually . +What about supply of parts to the production line ? +Well , the parts are automatically selected from the store room using a bar-code system . And there is an automatic feeder which takes them to the conveyor belt at the start of the production line . +What about the smaller components ? +They're transported to the workstations on automated vehicles - robot trucks - which run on guide rails around the factory . +I'm glad you're on your ten-year reunion planning committee . +Yeah , you get the TV to yourself while I spend my nights surfing the Net for missing classmates . +That's not why . This way I can see how you guys do this sort of thing . +I guess . Don't you have reunions in Taiwan ? +Definitely . Every year . But just for our forty-person class . +Ours are for everyone that graduated in the same year . +What does your job involve ? +I'm the Project Manager so I have to make sure our projects run smoothly . I work with three Project Engineers . They take care of after-sales service and look after the maintenance side of the business . +How many languages can you speak ? +Besides Chinese , I can speak English and French . +You mean you can read and write both of them ? +No , I can only carry on a simple conversation in French . +Can you read and write English well ? +I can speak the language better than read and write . +Do you speak the language well enough to communicate with people of English-speaking countries ? +I think so . I used to be an interpreter . +Do you think your English is good enough to do desk work ? +The amount of English I know enables me to do general desk work . I believe what I know is sufficient to work in an American firm . +What can I get for you ? Here is the menu . +Let me have a look . Well , how many kinds of steaks do you have ? +We have sirloin steaks , pepper steak , and filet steak . +Is there something go with the filet steak ? +Yes , we have various sauces . What about the gravy ? +Are you ready to go shopping ? +Just a minute . I need to make a list of thinks that we need . +Good idea . Have you written down potatoes , carrots , and onions ? +I don ’ t have onions on my list . I ’ ll add them . We should get some tea . Is green tea ok or should we get the same tea that we usually get ? +Let ’ s get both . We need some coffee too . Is that on your list ? +Yes , it is . Here ’ s my list . Is there anything that I ’ Ve forgotten ? +I think you ’ Ve got everything . I want to got some chocolate and some cheese . +What kind of cheese do you want . +I ’ m not sure . I ’ ll decide at the cheese counter , when I can see what they have . Have we got enough money ? +We don ’ t have enough cash , so I ’ ll take my credit card and we can pay with that . Where are the car keys ? +I ’ Ve got them there . Shall I drive ? +Hello , can you tell me how to use the telephone ? +If you want to order meals , call 8801.If you need other help , call 8803 and someone will be there . +Thank you so much . By the way , is there a mail service ? +Yes , you can take your letters to the counter over there . +Hi , I am afraid that the fax machine in my room won ’ t be working till tomorrow . A technician has just come and checked it . He will bring me a new one tomorrow . It seems there is a big problem with mine and it will take some days for repairing . Can I use the one in your office ? +Of course you can . I am sure this one works very well . I just sent dozens of pages . How many pages are you sending ? Are you familiar with my fax machine ? +Yes , I think you have the same model as I have . Does your fax machine print out immediately a transmission protocol ? +Yes , it will print immediately . +How many years have you done business with China ? +Let me see , about five years , we established our business relationship with Hua Mei of China Import & Export Corporation in 2003 . +Do you have any difficulties in doing business in China ? You know the Chinese economic legislation is still incomplete ? +I don't think I have any problem with our Chinese partners . They have always followed the contract strictly . We can do business directly with the corporation . As I mentioned before , the Chinese government is trying very hard to perfect its law . Its commercial legislation provides legal protection for foreign companies . +Well , it's known that the Sino-American relation is in a dilemma . Does it influence your business in China ? +Actually not at present . But we are afraid it will . You know policies influence business to some extent . I hope our government will not be influenced by some extremists . China is really a large market . We don't want to lose it . +Thank you . +You're welcome . +Give me a pack of first-class stamps , please . +Here you are . That will be five dollars . Anything else ? +Yes . I want some post cards and some airmail stamps . I want to send some letters to South America . +Just a moment , I'll look up the rate for air-mail letters to South America . +Can you tell me how much it will cost to send a package to Colombia ? Also , I what to know how long it will take . +Do you have the package with you ? I would have to weigh it to see how much it would cost . +Do you insure package ? +Yes . All you have to do declare the value of the package and decide how much you want to insure it for . +Is there a way that I can be sure that the people in South america receive my package ? +The post office rarely loses package . You can , however , request a rectum receipt . +One last question-what are your hours ? +We open at eight-thirty in the morning and close at five-thirty in the afternoon . +Thank you , you helped me a lot . +Hello , thank you for taking the time to interview me . +Hi there , I ’ m Bill Gotcha , the owner of Gotcha Enterprises . Did you find your way here OK ? +Your assistant gave wonderful directions . +Why are you switching jobs at this point in your career ? +Our Company is moving overseas and I wish to stay in the United States . +What are you best at ? +I am good at organizing systems that have been having problems . +What is your biggest challenge in terms of skills ? +I don ’ t like to sit around and so like to always find things to do to keep myself busy . +That is good to hear ! +Good morning . SRC international . How may I help you ? +Good morning . I'd like to speak to Peter . Chen Please . +Certainly . Who should I say is calling ? +This is Tim . Hunter from Hunter industries . +And what is it regarding please ? +We have an appointment for this afternoon . Mr . Chen will know why I'm calling . +Of course , Please hold the line Mr . Hunter . +Right , let me run through your options . You can go ahead and cash your undue Large-Amount Deposit Certificate if you really want to , but I'd recommend a Personal Durable Commodities Loan . +OK , what does that entail ? +It's not too much trouble to do it this way and remember , your certificate is due in 2 months . If you can hold on to it , it'll be much better for your finances . +Yes , it does seem a little silly to cash it now . I'll probably need about 25,000 RIB . Will that be a problem ? +Not at all , Mr Zu . As the certificate is due in 2 months , you can get the loan on mortgage of that certificate . +I'm glad you thought of this . I'd have just gone ahead and cashed it ! And I suppose I can use the money from the certificate to pay back this Personal Durable Commodities Loan and I won't lose any interest , right ? +Exactly right . If you'd like to go ahead , I can process that for you now , Mr Zu . +Absolutely , Jenny . Thanks very much , I think you've saved me quite a lot of money today . +My aunt told me one of her secrets--cellophane tape . +I just got it at the special health store . It's for my flabby arms . +Let me know how it works . +I have to say , I have had enough of this roller coaster . +I know what you mean . I'm like a yo-yo . +Last week I was down to 60 kilos . This week I had one donut more . Now I'm up to 62 kilos . +May I have a menu , please ? +Of course . +Could you tell me how this thing is cooked ? +Lobster ? It is steamed and served with our special sauce . +Is it good ? +Sure . It is a most popular dish . +I think I will try some lobster , and give me some green salad together . +Can ’ t you come in and have tea now , Peter ? +Not yet , I must water the garden first . +Do you have to water it now ? +I ’ m afraid I must . Look at it ! It ’ s terribly dry . +What a nuisance ! +Last summer it was very dry , too . Don ’ t you remember ? I had to water it every day . +Well , I ’ ll have tea by myself . That was quick ! Have you finished already ? +Yes , Look out of the window . +It ’ s raining . That means you needn ’ t water the garden . +That was a pleasant surprise . It means I can have tea , instead . +I'm broke , and I have to catch another bus . +Why don't you have any money for another bus ? +I got hungry and bought some chips . +That was smart . +Anyway , do you have any change I can use for the bus ? +I don't have any . +I don't know how I'm going to get home . +Get a transfer from the bus driver . +How much is a transfer ? +It doesn't cost anything . +That's great ! Thanks for your help . +You know what ? Don't mention it . +Hello , Anna . Come in and sit down . +Hello , doctor . +What's the matter ? +I've got a backache . +Do you often suffer from backache ? +No , I don't . I've never had a bad one before . +When did it start ? +About four days ago . +Well , go home and rest in bed for two days , then you'll feel better . +Can you give me some medicine ? It's very painful . +Yes , I'll give you some pills . Take one a time and three times a day , and come back in three days . If you don't feel ... +Welcome on board . May I see your boarding pass ? +Here you are . +Your seat is three , in the third row , near the window . +Thank you . Where can I put my suitcase ? +Either in the overhead compartment or underneath the seat . +Everyone's attention , please . We are going to take off . Please fasten your belts . +Hello , madam . How do you like your staying here ? +Quite good . Excuse me , are there any places of interest ? +Yes , there are so many near our hoteI.Three blocks away from here , there is temple . It's famous for its building and paintings.lt ' s worth visiting . +Thank you . I think today we will go there . +You're here to make a deposit , is that correct ? +Right . I'd like to deposit 2,000 RIB into my Current Account . +No problem . Could I have the cash and your Bank Book , please ? Oh dear ... there seems to be some problems here ... +What ? What's wrong ? +I'm sorry but 5 of these notes seem to be counterfeit . Look at this watermark , do you see it ? +It does look a little strange , I didn't notice that before . +Hello , sir . Is there anything I can help you find ? +Um ... Uh ... I'm just looking , thanks . +Need a gift for your girlfriend or wife ... +No , no , no . I'm just browsing . Thanks anyway . +Well , if you need anything , just ask . +Um ... well , where's the men's shoe department ? +It's on the third floor . Turn left when you get off the escalator . +Thanks . +An idea about killing time on a train ? +I advise you to read Playboy.You can get a lot from it . +But there's quite a lot of rumors about it . +That's why it's interesting . +Have you brought the receipt with you ? +No , I don't .

We have to lodge a claim against you for inferior quality I am afraid . +Is there anything wrong ? +We bought 1,000 sets of chemical instruments from you , but there are 40 not up to the standard . +It's hard for us to believe it . Our instruments have been the best quality for years . Have you any reliable evidence ? +Here is the survey report from a well-known public surveyor in London . You may inspect the defective instruments personally +Well . According to the contract , we are responsible for repairing or replacing those defective instruments . We ’ ll send our technicians to repair them . +Forty faulty instruments means that 4 % are not up to the standard . You should compensate us for 4 % of the total account on the contract , as well as for the inspection fee . +I am sorry about the quality problem , but I propose we compensate you for 3 % of the total value apart from the inspection fee . +All right .

I'm afraid I lost my way . +Did you have hotel card or something ? +Let me see . Yes , I have the address and hotel telephone number here . +Oh , you stay at the down town Hilton . When you go down two blocks this way and turn left , you will find it on your right . +I don't understand very well . Could you give me a map ? +The bathroom looks lovely . Did you redecorate it yourself or did you get someone in to do it for you ? +I did it myself . I went online and found a lot of website devoted to home improvement . Then I went to DIY shop and bought everything I needed . I ’ m sure I saved a lot of money by doing it myself and it was fun too . I learnt a lot by doing it myself . +So , let ’ s see . You have put new tiles on the floor and replaced a few tiles on the walls . You ’ Ve also added a small cupboard for toiletries . The bath , shower , and washbasin are the same as before , aren ’ t they ? +Yes , they are . I gave them a good clean . They are in good condition and don ’ t need to be replaced . +How long did it take you to do the tiling . +As I hadn ’ t done it before , I had to keep referring to income 3ation I got from the internet . Doing the floor tiles took a whole day-from early morning to right through to the evening . Then I spent a few hours replacing the cracked wall tiles . Putting the cupboard up took about an hour , so it took me two days altogether . +I think you ’ Ve done a very good job . As least as good as a professional would do . Perhaps I can convince you to redo my bathroom ? +You ’ ll be lucky ! However , I ’ ll print out the income 3ation I got from the internet and you can do it yourself . +I'd like to see that pen , please . +You mean this one ? +No , the other one in the brown case . +Oh , this one ... Here . +May I try it ? +Sure . +It's very smooth . I'll take it . +Cash or charge ? +Charge , please . +I ’ Ve come to hear about your offer for bristles . +We have the offer ready for you . Let me see ... here it is . 100 cases Houston Bristles , 57 mm , at 10 pounds sterling per kilogram , C . I . F European Main Ports , for shipment in June 2001 . The offer is valid for five days . +Why , your price has soared . It ’ s almost 25 % higher than last year ’ s . It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price . +I ’ m a little surprised to hear you say that . You know very well that markets for bristles have gone up a great deal in recent months . The price we offer compares favorably with quotations you can get elsewhere . +I ’ m afraid I can ’ t agree with you there . I must point out your price is higher than some of the quotations we ’ Ve received from other sources . +But you must take the quality into consideration . Everyone in the trade knows that US ’ s bristles are of superior quality to those from other countries . +I agree that yours are of better quality . But there ’ s competition from synthetic products , too . You can ’ t very well ignore that . Prices for synthetic bristles haven ’ t changed much over the years . +There ’ s practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses . That ’ s why demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones . To be frank with you , if it were not for the long - standing relationship between us , we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price . +Well , we ’ ll have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to buy at this price . But I ’ ll have to try , I suppose . +Good morning.sir.My name is Liu Peng from Tsinghai University .

I think I should also have a look at the Internet to see if anyone's got a sublet . +How much do are you looking to spend ? +I can only afford about 1,000 yuan a month . +Looks like you'll have to get a place in the suburbs . +It doesn't matter , but it needs to be close to the subway or on a convenient bus route . +Anything you need to have in the place ? +I want a bedroom with full bath , and it'll be better if the bedroom is on the sunny side . +You can also check out university bulletin boards . +Why ? Will those be students who are leaving ? +Not really , but landlords put up notices to attract students and they often have low rent . +Thank you . I'll be sure to take a look . +Good luck . +Excuse me , but can I draw on my account for payment of things I buy in China ? +Certainly , sir . How much do you draw ? +RIB 8,000 , please .

I finally lost that last five pounds I've been working on forever ! +How did you finally do it ? +A friend suggested that I stop nibbling between meals . +Like snacking ? +You know , a little piece of chocolate here , some chips on the side , candy now and then ... +I get what you mean . +Instead , I sit down and have a good snack like a piece of fruit between meals . +I'm impressed . Good for you ! +This is our Submission of Tender which includes the information about volume of the project , the cost and so on . +OK ! We'll see it . +What kind of guarantee are you going to provide for us ? +We can provide you with standby letter of credit established by Bank of China . +Should we pay earnest money ? +Yes , you are supposed to pay it on time . If you don't furnish a tender bond on time , your tender will not be considered . Besides , you also should provide derailed engineering of the good . +Where do we submit the tender ? +To our office which is on the third floor . +Oh , I see .

It is essential to attach the importance to the quality of goods . It is the basement for the future cooperation . +That is good . And here I give you a piece of advice .

Can I open the packages to check the color and style ? +Of course , let me help you . +The color and style are consistent with the sample .

Thanks , bye . +Hello , Mr . Thomas . Could you spare a minute ? +What do you need ? +I need to talk to you about that new driver you ’ Ve hired . I think I am going to have some problems working with him . +He seems to be quite qualified . If it is a personal problem I preferred if you would work out between yourselves . +I can't stand the stupid guy any longer . It ' s unbelievable ! +Oh , my dear lady . Take it easy . You should forgive a green hand like him . +He does everything so mindlessly that he is going to drive me crazy . +I suggest you talk with him and teach him how to deal with the problems . +I have told him how to do it several times , but he's never listened to me . +Maybe you should communicate with him just like a friend and not a boss . +Oh , I always have difficulty in getting along with the staff . +Just take them for your good friends and have a talk with them as we do , make sure you don't lose your temper . +I think that's a bad idea . I'd hate anyone here to think of me as a friend . How would they ever respect me as they can do whatever they want ? +I disagree . All you have to do is respect the staff and their opinions . +hey , you look great ! how's everything ? +yeah , you know what ? I've been going to the club regularly . The training really pays off . Now I am in a good shape and I know more about how to keep fit . +really ? tell me about it . I haven't gone to the club for a long time . I am too busy with work . +it's important to do proper exercises . +you're right . Too much or too little won't do any good . +the trainer tells me , besides regular sports activities , I should also have a healthy and balanced diet . +sounds reasonable . +we should eat more vegetables instead of junk food to stay energetic . +and fruits ! +surely it is . Getting enough sleep is also crucial for fitness . +I've heard that . Does your trainer tell you anything about keeping fit ? +yeah , he advises me to stay in a good mood . That can help one to keep sound physical health . +I think if you follow your trainer's advice , you'll be on the right track . +you bet it ! +Staying out all night , you frightened me to death . +I stayed with my friends . +You should at least give me a call . +I'm sorry , Mum . +Did anyone call ? +Just Mr . White . +What did he want ? +He wouldn't say over the phone . +What kind of job do you intend to do ? +I want to do some management job since I have three-year's work history . +What are your plans if you were hired ? +I would apply my specialty and experience to my job and gradually move up to the management level in this company . +You stepped on my foot ! +Sorry . I didn't mean to . +what do you think about the public service advertisement for quiting smoking ? +while I think it's great that they're trying to get people to quit smoking , but I don't really care for the advertisement . +why not ? +the fish hook that they use is quite disturbing ! +it's a pun . They use the fish hook to make you think about how you can get hooked on smoking . +I know , but I think it's not really appropriate for young children . +I think they're trying to scare the young people so that they don't ever start smoking . +all advertisers like to catch young people because they know the meaning of loyalty . +perhaps you're right , , though . Maybe the advertisement would be more effective with adults anyhow . +I have nothing against them putting the advertisements in magazines and newspapers that are read by adults , but I don't think they should have their ad on billboards where children can see them . +that's a good point . I think I was so delighted to see that a billboard was being used to promote health that I didn't think about how children might understand the ad . +you have to give them credit , though . It's about time people started becoming more aware of the dangers of smoking . +Good morning . Could I speak with Mr . Willard please ? +This is he . Who ’ s calling , please ? +This is Chris Emerson speaking . +Hello , Chris . How can I help you ? +Can you tell me the differences between a letter and a memorandum , Miss Thong ? +Certainly . A letter must be sent out of the company and must be mailed or posted . A memorandum is a communication within an organization . +Should we use the layout we use for a letter when we write a memorandum ? +No , not necessary . Usually we have a set form which is printed . We just fill in the printed forms and send it to the person or the offices concerned in the company . +Of course , let me find one for you . +Hi , do you have any tickets for the show tonight ? +Sorry , it ’ s all sold out . +Well , do you have any for tomorrow ? +We have tickets for the matinee . It starts at 3p . m . +Ok . I ’ ll take it . +Where would you like to sit ? +Do you have anything in the middle section ? I want a good view , but sitting too close hurts my eyes . +Certainly . +Lily , I am terribly sorry about this . But we have to put off or cancel tomorrow's meeting . +Cancelled ? That's just can't happen ! +Sorry to say , but nothing can be done . The equipment broke down and can't be fixed till Friday . +Oh , I hope it be fixed on Friday . +Overseas operator , may I help you ? +Yes . I would like to place a collect call . +Can you tell me the name and number of the person you want ? +Terry and his number is 4562325 8 . +Please wait a moment . It Will take a few seconds to get through . +Would you help me figure out what to do about the office party ? +I would be happy to help . What would you like me to help with , food or entertainment ? +I would like to help you with both . +That will work out fine . To make sure everything goes together , do you think this party should be casual or dressy ? +A dressy party would be fun ! +That will work out fine . Do you think that Chinese or Continental food would be best ? +We should probably have both . +Yes , that will work out fine . Should we hire a band or bring in a DJ ? +Maybe we could do both ! +Everything sounds great then ! I'll meet you back here on Friday to discuss the details . +I can't find the price tag . +It's right here . $ 100 . +But I heard other stores were having great mark-downs on this item . +Ours are of really good quality . +I see , please wrap it . +Peter , how often do you exercise ? +Well , I swim and run every day . +Now , tell me , what do you eat ? +Well , I don't eat any meat , but I do eat fish and eggs . +Do you eat a lot of vegetables ? +Oh yes , and fruit , I love fruit . +What do you drink ? +Well , I never drink alcohol , coffee or tea . They are very bad for you . +What do you drink ? +Where can I call a taxi ? +There's a taxi rank over there , right outside the gate . +How did your company's fundraiser go ? +The fundraiser events went really well . We were able to partner with a few of our competitors , all in fun of course , to sponsor a marathon for the American Cancer Society . All of the people who participated it had a great time , and we were able to raise a lot of money to contribute to cancer research . +So how does it work ? How were you able to make money with the marathon ? +Each of the runners that participated the marathon race paid a ten dollar entrance fee . Also , they went door to door to get sponsors who pledged a dollar per mile that participants ran . All in all we were able to raise several thousand dollars . +Sounds like a great deal for the American Cancer Society . +In all honesty , it's also a great deal for our company . The exposure that we gained from sponsoring an invent like this was great for our image in the community . We accomplished as much as last year's advertising campaign , plus we were able to do a little fundraising for a good cause . +How may I help you today ? +I need to open a second account . +What kind of account would you like to open ? +I need another savings account . +Do you have another account with us ? +I sure do . +Would you like to transfer money from that account into your new one ? +That ’ s fine . +How much would you like to transfer ? +Transfer $ 100 . +Give me a moment while I complete your transaction . +That ’ s fine .

To develop my knowledge , I studied Economics , Business Administration and Accountingthrough self-study . Nowadays , I have passed three courses on CPA . +Have you ever been a student cadre ? +Yes . I used to be the monitor of my class . +Did it affect you much ? +It ’ s a very important experience for me . First , it improved my organizing ability , and let me understand how to resolve a problem in the overall perspective instead of my own perspective . Second , it let me know how to cooperate in harmony with people who I like or dislike . +In your spare time , do you have any part time jobs ? +Yes , I used to work as an assistant lawyer for Tienda Law Office . +What kind of a car do you have ? +An old one . +I know it's old , but what make is it ? +It's a Chevrolet . Why do you ask ? You going into the car business ? +Nothing like that . My cousin is going to take a job overseas and he can't take his car with him , so he's going to sell it - cheap . It's practically new . +well I have been thinking about getting a newer car . I can't afford a brand new one . +Would you like to look at my cousin's car ? +Is it a four-door or a two-door ? +It's a coupe with a vinyl roof . +Does it have automatic transmission ? . +Yes , and it also has power steering , power brakes , and air conditioning . +I guess I might take a look at it . +What is my prime responsibility in daily work ? +Your main job is serving the clients and giving them what they want . +What other things do I need to know ? +You'd spend 30 % of your time on the computer . You may be bored with a job like that . +No problem . I am used to it . +Good afternoon . May I help you ? +Yes , I ’ m here to see Joanna Stevens .

I ’ ll show you to her office , right this way . +How about your interview ? +They turned me down . +Why ?

You should have showed yourself to them ! +It doesn't matter . I'll try other companies . +I suggest you hunt for a job on the Internet . +On the Internet ? I've never heard of it . +It's very convenient and it has become popular recently . +Is that safe ? +Of course , if you log on some standard websites . +Thank you for your advice . I'll have a try . +We are here . +OK . How much is the fare ? +The total is 45 yuan . +45 yuan ?

And I let me see three identification cards or documents . +I have the driver ’ s license , a membership card and my passport . Would we do ? +Let me see them . Yes . There ’ re ok . +What ‘ s the minimum amount I can deposit in an account ? +You can deposit and ensure amount of ten dollars . +Thank you . +We are willing to participate in the bid which you advertised in China Daily . Would you please tell me the detail of the tender conditions ? +You will receive the tender notice next month and you'll find the information . +OK ! Our company is very interested in the tender . I am sure that we will do our best to win the bidding in building the factory . +I believe your corporation will try your best and I understand fully your feeling , if your tender conditions proved be suitable for our general conditions of tender , we will accept your submission of tender . +Maybe I have asking too many questions today . +That's all right . You can contact me later if you have other questions after you read the tender notice . +Fine , thanks a lot . Bye ! +Bye ! +Good morning , Mr Zhang , I wonder whether you have got an answer from your superior . +Yes , we had a meting about it yesterday afternoon . +What's the answer ? +We decided that we could agree to your price , but we are a bit worried about the slow delivery . +Let me see . I quoted your delivery in three months , didn't I ? +Yes , but we hope that the wool could reach us as soon as possible . +I thought you would be worried about it . So I rang Auckland last night . As you are our biggest customer , they agreed to ship the order on the first vessel available that will leave Auckland next month . +Good , if you agree we'll draft the agreement right away and sign it then . +By all means . +Be careful . The floor is wet . +What happened ? +I spilled my drink . +Hello , this is Lucie Jing calling from Lincoln Bank . May I speak to Mr Was , please ? +Speaking . +Ah , hello , Mr Was . I'm just calling about your new credit card . It has arrived with us , so you can either come to collect it , or we can send it on to you . +Sending it won't be necessary . I'm actually coming in for a meeting with my Personal Banker this afternoon . +What perfect timing ! +Indeed . Is there anything I need to do before I collect it ? +Not really . But we do recommend you to read through our terms and conditions again before you sign the card , just in case there is something you aren't happy with . +I'm sure it'll be fine . How about my PIN number ? +That will be sent on to you within 2 working days . Then , you can start using your new card . +Great . I'll be in later today . Thanks for calling . Bye . +What are we eating for lunch ? +I have no idea . What about you ? +I kind of want pizza . +I ate pizza the other day . +So , what do you feel like eating then ? +How about some burgers ? +I already had a burger yesterday . +What are we going to do ? +We can just each get what we want to get . +That sounds like a plan . +Do you know a place that sells pizza and burgers ? +I think they sell both at the cafeteria . +Did you bring your certificate for nursing ? +Yes , here is my Certificate of Nurse . +How about your nursing education ? +I learnt nursing through theory and practice for 3 years at Hunan Nursing School . +Can you manage English conversation ? +Yes , pretty well . I have started learning English since primary school . +Have you ever thought about having children , Kaitlyn ? +My husband and I have thought about it , but we've decided not to have any . They're just too expensive . Besides , with all the news about global warming on the news lately , who knows what kind of Worl +Well , I've always wanted to have lots of children . Growing up with only one brother , I always felt a bit lonely . What do you think about families with only one child ? +For me , growing up in a big family always made me yearn for attention . I always wanted to be an only child so that I could always do what I wanted and so that I wouldn't ever have to share . +Don't you think you would miss having other people around ? +No way ! I spent 20 years of my life with relatives around me 24-7 . You know , I don't think I've ever actually spent any time by myself in my parents ' home . What do you think fo the one-child policy +If China didn't have such a policy , can you imagine how many people there would be in China now ? +That's true . But as a woman , I'm glad that even though I don't want any children , I at least have a choice in how many children I have . On the other hand , I can't imagine what China would be like +Do you think most families with many children envy or feel sorry for other families with only one child ? +I don't know what other people think , but I , for one , envy only children ! +Ok , let ’ s go through this one more time . I don ’ t want anymore ruined or dyed blouses ! +I know , I know . OK , so I have to separate the colors from the whites and put them in this strange looking contraption so called washing machine . +Right . You have to turn it on and program it depending on what type of clothes you are washing . For example for delicates , you should set a shorter washing cycle . Also , be sure to use fabric softener and this detergent when washing . +So complicated ! Ok , what about this red wine stain ? How do I get it out ? +Since this is a white t-shirt , you can just pour a little bit of bleach on it and it will do the trick . +Cool . Then I can just throw everything in the dryer for an hour and it ’ s all set right ? +No ! Since you are washing delicates and cotton , you should set the dryer to medium heat and for twenty minutes . +You know what ? I ’ ll just have everything dry cleaned . +Is Tom in ? +No , he is at work now . +May I have his office phone number please ? +Sure . It's 289,1234 . +What about driving to Shanghai ? +Driving ? No way , it's too far . +I just thought it would be an interesting way to see lots of places . How long will it take ? +Too long , and you do not have much time . +What a pity . +Good afternoon . I'll show you to your room . +Thank you . +Could you tell me which bags are yours ? +They're over there next to the door . Those three with green tags on them . +Could you wait a moment ? I have to get a trolley . May I see your room key , please ? +Sure , here it is . +Thank you . Room 402 . You're on the 4th floor . This way , please . +Excuse me , sir . Is there anything I can do for you ? +Yes . I bought the can two days ago , but today I found that is beyond the guarantee period . +Let me see . I am sorry , sir . We will change another one for you . Please wait a moment . +Excuse me , but could you tell me the way to the railway station ? +The railway station ? Just go down this street and turn left at the second corner . The station is at the end of that street . +How long will it take me to get there ? +It's about a ten-minute walk . +That's very clear . I think I can find my way now . Thank you . +Not at all . +Excuse me ! Does this bus go to the railway station ? +No , You're got on the wrong bus . You can take a No . 22 bus at the University station and then transfer to a No . 83 bus at the railway station . +OK ! Thank you very much ! +I have here our price sheet on a F . O . B . basis . The prices are given without engagement . +Good , if you ’ ll excuse me , I ’ ll go over the sheet right now . +Take your time . +I can tell you at a glance that your prices are much too high . +I ’ m surprised to hear you say so . You know that the cost of pro - duction has been skyrocketing in recent years . +We only ask that your prices be comparable to others . That ’ s reasonable , isn ’ t it ? +Well , to get the business done , we can consider making some concessions in our price . But first , you ’ ll have to give me an idea of the quantity you wish to order from us , so that we may adjust our prices accordingly . +The size of our order depends greatly on the prices . Let ’ s settle that matter first . +Well , as I ’ Ve said , if your order is large enough , we ’ re ready to reduce our prices by 2 percent . +When I say your prices are much too high , I don ’ t mean they are higher merely by 2 or 3 percent . +How much do you mean then ? Can you give me a rough idea ? +To have this business concluded , I should say a reduction of least 10 percent would help . +Impossible . How can you expect us to make a reduction to that extent ? +I think you are as well - informed as I am about the market for chemical fertilizers . It ’ s unnecessary for me to point out that sup - ply exceeds demand at present and that this situation is apt to continue for a long time yet . May I suggest that you call your home office and see what they have to say ? +Very well , I will . +Excuse me , you look lost.Can I help you ? +Oh , Thank you . I'm looking for the train station . +Right . Let me see . You go straight down here and turn right . +Right ? OK , got it . +Then take the next left then the next right . Are you with me ? +Next left then right ? OK . +I'm sorry , but I didn't catch what you said . +I said , ' Do you want me to help you ? ' +I'm trying to find a post office . +Go three blocks and turn right . It's right there . +Should I take the bus ? +No . It'll only take about five minutes to walk . +Thank you very much . +Anytime . +It says here that you graduated from Beijing Normal University with a major in English Language and Literature . +Right . Then you may think that I am not fit for this job according to my educational background . +Yes . +But I want to be a tour guide very much because I like traveling and meeting various kinds of people . So I took an evening course at the Tourism School of Beijing after graduation and I have gotten a qualification certificate . +So you must be an extravert ? +Yes , I always enjoy being with a group of people and chatting with them . +What do you think are the responsibilities of a tourist guide ? +A tourist guide must be responsible for arranging and coordinating tour activities , and offering service of transportation , accommodation , sightseeing , shopping and entertainment . +Don't you consider it a hard work ? +Hard but interesting , I think . +Have you any experience as a tourist guide ? +Yes , I usually guided foreign tourists around Beijing when I was in University . +Have you ever learned any other foreign languages other than English ? +Yes , I have learned a little French and Japanese as well . +Didn ’ t you punch in this morning , Monica ? +Sorry , I don ’ t know the rule about punching . +That ’ s ok . I should have told you earlier . This is a company rule . +Do we also need to punch out after work ? +According to the company rule , we should punch in before 8 o ’ clock and punch out after 5 o ’ clock every work day . +How about the lunch break , Lucy ? +From 11 thirty to 1 o ’ clock . +May I ask whether we need to work overtime ? +Sometimes , but not quite often . +This needs dry-cleaning.Can you remove this stain without harming the fabric ? +Let me see . We ’ ll try , but I ’ m not sure that we can remove it . +Ok , then . We ’ ll I ’ d also like to have this pressed . +Any starch ? +No starch . +What's the problem ? +I have a laceration on my left forearm . +Let me have a look . How did this happen ? +I got hit by a car in an accident . +Was there much bleeding afterward ? +No , not much . +Well , this doesn't look too serious . Nurse , could you please get me a suture set ? +Will I need stitches ? +Yes . Three , I think . It wont ' be too painful . Alright , we're done . That wasn't so bad , was it ? +No , not really . +You're lucky there was no lasting damage . I'll set up an appointment for you to come back in five days . We'll take those stitches out then . So long . +Thank you , doctor . Bye . +What time is it ? +Ten to nine . +Your watch is ten minutes slow . So it's should be nine sharp . I'm gonna be late again . What will be my excuse this time ? It should be set the alarm for seven thirty . +Don't cry over spilled milk , Fred ? Could you stay with me a few minutes ? +What ? Why ? What's wrong with you ? +I just hate being alone at home with nothing to do about listen to the clock ticking.It ' s so lonely and boring . My sickness makes it worse . When will I recover ? +You will be fine in the couple of month , just be patient . I've got to woke now , I'll be late . +You only care about your work . +Sorry , baby , you are everything to me . all I do just for our family . +Stay just a few minutes longer , OK ? +OK , I'll leave at 9:15 , Is that all right ? +Yes . +I'll spent more time with you in the future , Dina . +Thank you . +Canton Hotel . +I'd like to reserve a double room . I will be arriving next Monday , the 12th . My name is Wilson . +A double room for the 12th ? The name is Wilson ? +Yes , that's right . +How long will you be staying ? +Three or four days , perhaps longer . +Very good , sir . We will be expecting you next Monday , the 12th . +How is the result of your lab test ? +When it comes to that , I have a lot to say . +Then say it . +When I went back to my doctor to hear the results of my lab tests , I tried to keep a poker face even though I was scared to death . Then you guess what he said . +That ’ s just what I want to know . +He told me the tests were negative and there was nothing wrong with me . +Could you tell me something about your family ? +OK . There are five people in my family , Father , mother , elder brother , younger sister and I . +Are your brother and sister still in school ? +My brother has found his job and my sister is still in college . +What does your father do ? +My father is a middle school teacher . +What about your mother ? +My mother is a housewife . +Are you married ? +I am not married yet and I live alone now . +Do you need to support your family ? +No , my father and brother are doing that . +Have you finished school ? +Yes , I have already graduated . +I'm in heaven ! A Whirlpool dryer ! +I love them , too . Let's move into the kitchen . Wait until you see the refrigerator . +This is too good to be true . +And the stove is brand new . You know how to use a gas stove , right ? +Yes . We've lived in Taiwan for a while . I had a gas stove in the States , too . +It's better for cooking Chinese food . Well , what do you think ? +We love it . But we'd like to know about the neighbors . +How's your new car ? +Perfect ! Couldn't be better . +You made a good choice , then ? +It's just what I want . +No regrets ? +I am really pleased with it . +I am glad you are happy . +It's super . +Good afternoon , Sir . You're here to see about a Temporary Loan , right ? The loans we offer are for purchasing income-generating assets . Is that what you require ? +Yes , that's exactly what I need . How about terms for these ? +Well , we offer 60 - day or 90 - day loans . The balance of the loan is to be repaid in full by the end of the specified period . +Is there any flexibility on that ? +Unfortunately , not . +OK . In my position , I think the best way to go would be for the 90 - day loan . That would give us a little more time to sort out the repayment plan . +Not a problem , Sir . If you'd just fill out these forms , and of course with necessary clearance , we can get you the money right away . +Mr . Wang , I've had scheduled for your two days stay in Shanghai . You can make some changes if it does not suit you . +All right . Please read it to me . +On Friday morning , Mr . Wang , the director of Shanghai Research Institute , will visit you at the hotel . In the afternoon , you will discuss some problems with Mr . Yang , vice manager of computer corporation . +Very good . +On Saturday , you'll leave the hotel for sightseeing . Miss Lu will be your guide . +Oh , that's great . +Hi , I would like to return this TV . +Sure , do you have the receipt ? +Yeah here you go . Actually I also want to return this keyboard . +Ok . may I ask what is the reason for returning these products ? +The TV flickers a lot when I am watching a movie and at times the image is not very clear . +I see , and what about the keyboard ? +I spilled some coffee on it and now it won't work . +I am sorry mam , but we can only exchange or refund defective products , we cannot take responsibility for misuse or damages . +Fine ! I don't know why they make these things so delicate anyways . +There are so many people that the tickets are all sold out ! +Luckily we got the last two . +Look , Danny . The Four Great Inventions ! +Gunpowder , compass , the paper making , and the printing . +I really admire those who made such great inventions ! +May , I don't see why they are great . They are just simple things . +They look simple today . But they were milestones in their times . +Milestones ? May , you must be kidding . +Just think Bill Gates , those inventions are as important as the windows system . +Well , I suppose the ancient inventors made a lot of money out of them . +No , quite the contrary . +Why ? Didn't you say that they were milestones ? +Yes , but they went to the public without any patent protection . +Well , their inventors were not as clever as Bill Gates . +What can I do for you ? +I need some medicine . +For whom ? +My wife . She suffers from a bad cold . +What symptoms does she have ? +Fever and a bad cough . +I see . Don't worry , just a common cold . +What kind of medicine does she need ? +Patulin will be enough . +How many pills for each time ? +Nine pills per day , and three pills after each meal . +Thank you very much . +It's my pleasure . +Do you believe in god ? +Not at all . I ’ m an agnostic . do you ? +I ’ m not sure . Why don ’ t you believe there is a god ? +I think everything has a scientific explanation rather than a theological one . +I basically believe in science over theology . I mean , I believe in evolution for example . However , there are many things that science hasn ’ t explained yet . +I ’ m sure that science will explain everything eventually . I think that the strangest thing about religion is that so many religions people act in ways that their religion claims are wrong . +For example ? +Religions preach tolerance , but many wars are caused by intolerant religious fanatics . +Yes . Such people don ’ t appear to be acting in accordance with their religious beliefs . +Didn't you say your friend was American ? Where is she going on her honeymoon ? +They're going skiing in Colorado . +What a coincidence ! These pajamas would be perfect to take along on the honeymoon ! +You're probably right . Oh , what the heck ! I'll take it all ... in maroon , like you said . +What a terrible house ! +I'm sick of it , too . +The door bell doesn't work , there's no hot water , and the building is falling apart . +It's no use complaining . If we had got enough money , we couldn't put up with it , and would have moved out . +Sure . +Hello ! +Is that Sue ? +Speaking . +A.This is George . +Hello , George.What ' s up ? +This website offers very convenient air tickets booking service . It is quick and accurate . +Yes , I once booked there . They give the immediate confirm information and flight information to both your mobile phone and e-mail . You can conveniently pay by credit card , so the whole transaction only takes a couple of minutes . They also provide e-tickets , meaning you don ’ t need to go to any office to pick an air ticket . You go to the airport directly and check in with your ID card . +So it has attracted more and more customers these days . +Yes , therefore they are expanding the scope of their service . For example , hotels can be booked through the same site as well . +Excuse me . +Hello sir , may I help you ? +Yes . Can I see that T-shirt on the top shelf please ? +Sure . Here it is . +How much does it cost ? +50 dollars . +50 dollars . That's too much . +How about this one ? It's on sale for only 35 dollars . +I don't like that one . +How about the one next to the black gloves ? It's very similar to the one you like . +That's nice . How much is it ? +30 dollars . +That'll be fine . +Is this color OK , or would you like a different color ? +That blue one's fine . +Do you need any more of these shirts ? +Yes . +How many do you want ? +I'll take two more , a red one and a white one . +Hello , this is Li Bo speaking . +Hi , I am Liu Ming . I am calling to tell you that I have got the job . +Oh , that is wonderful . Congratulations ! +I really feel grateful to you for your reference . They have mentioned this in the job interview . +Don't mention it . I think that is because you have right qualifications and nice personality . +Thanks again . I will start on next Monday . I am sure I will have good performance . +I agree . +I am a student in Cambridge University . I read your ad , I want to know something more about your room , please ? +It's a big bedroom with a drawing room , facing a beautiful wood . +Is there a bathroom ? +No , but there is one downstairs , which my daughter used some years ago . +It sounds good . Could I go and see it myself ? +Certainly , you're welcome anytime . +See you later ! +( after a while ) Good afternoon , Mrs . Smith . I called you just now . +Welcome ! Come in , please ! +Yes . +This way please . Your room is upstairs ... Here it is . +Wonderful ! A modest , comfortable room . Ah , a beautiful window , through which I can see a beautiful scene , and hear the birds singing . How nice ! +Yes , if you want to wash something , there is a separate lavatory room outside . +Excellent ! I like it ! When can I move in ? +Anytime you like . +OK . +Hello , this is Dunlin . May I speak to Mrs Smith ? +This is Mrs Smith . Can I help you ? +I am calling to say thank you for the interview yesterday . +You are welcome . I am very impressed by your capability . +Is there anything I should do ? +No , nothing . It's thoughtful of you to call me again . +Thank you . Please call me at any time if you have any questions . +Ok , I will . Do you have any question ? +No , thank you . Goodbye . +Goodbye . +Hi there . Welcome to Lincoln Corporate Services . How can we help ? +Hi . I was wondering what kind of fixed asset loans you have ? Do you have Fixed Asset Loans ? +Yes , we do . You'll go through the acceptance application , then a first review , then an evaluation and examination and finally get approval . Why don't you read through this brochure ? It outlines all of the important aspects of the loan , the terms and conditions , etc . +That's a good idea , to familiarise myself with it . Then , I'll be back if we decide to go ahead . +There are many art craft items in this shop . I suggest you take your time , and you might find something you like . +That's what I am going to do . +If you have any problem , please come to me . +I surely will . How much is this wood carving ? +You are an expert on it . That wood carving is very rare . But I'm so sorry . that is not for sell . +That's OK . Is anything else recommended ? +Do you have any special request ? +I'd like to see some traditional arts . +So that means you are shopping for presents ? +Yes , I'm just here to pick out some special presents for my foreign friends . +Actually , I think the paper-cuts is OK , because it is easy to carry and foreign friends are also interested in it . They think that is a miracle . +Sounds good . I'll take paper-cut . +I have collected different kinds of paper-cuts all over the country , you can pick the one you like best . +You collect them yourself ? I think that you are just doing the wholesale . +As a matter of fact , I open the shop because I'm interested in the arts . I spent lots of time doing research on the folk art of our country . +Wow , you are the expert on it . +Operator . Can I help you ? +I'd like to make a person-to-person call to Beijing , China . The number is 2135367 8 , and I want to speak to Mr . Zhang . +To Mr . Zhang in at 2135-3678 ? +Yes , that's right . +May I have your name and telephone number ? +My name is Luo Gang , and the phone number is 513-3284 . +Mr . Luo , will you hold the line , please - - - Mr . Luo , there is no Zhang at that number . Will you check the number again , please ? +What the number I gave you , operator ? +It's 2135-3678 . +Oh , I'm sorry . should have been 2135-3668 , not 3678 . I've given you a wrong number . +Are you sure this time ? +Yes . +OK . Let me try again . +Thank you . +Are there any special requirements on the project ? And shall we talk around it in details ? +Yes , there're some samples in our office and you can take some to study it . Besides , you see , in recent years , we've visited a diversity of factory buildings all over the world and we hope that our building is the perfect match of advanced technology and attractiveness . +That's a good idea . We can improve our technology to meet your special need . +And please let white color dominate . +OK ! I've noted it down . And any others ? +Oh ! I've almost forgot the location was transferred to the A county in the east of the city . +I'll tell them . +Well , the most important thing is that our company demand the quality be exactly the same as the sample which you'll take from the office on the third floor . +Please feel assured that we'll abide by our promise . And we'll do everything we can to ensure delivery . +Thanks a lot . And I believe I'll have a good time working with you . +I think so . Bye ! +Bye ! +Mr . Black , I ' d like to take some time off . I ' Ve been feeling exhausted these days . +That's no problem . Let me see ... You still have ten days annual leave left , is that right ? +Yes . I was wondering if I could take another two weeks off . +That's long leave . How's your project coming along ? +The project I'm in charged of now will be done by the end of this week . I'd like to take my leave from next Monday on . +Well , all right . But you make sure to tie up loose ends before you leave . +Thank you , Mr.Black . There are no immediate projects coming up at the moment . Mr.Smith will be in charge during my absence . He is taking part in several projects as my assistant and knows how to maintain relationships with our clients . +Great ! I hope you have a good relaxation and come back refreshed . +I will . Many thanks , Mr.Black . +Did you ever get a parking ticket ? +Only a few . +What's a few ? +I've gotten six , I think . +Did you pay your fines ? +Of course I have . +How much are the parking tickets ? +I think they're $ 130 . +That's expensive . +I just got a parking ticket . +You should probably pay the fine soon . +I'm going to pay it today . +Are you doing anything right now , Diana ? +I am typing a report for the moment , Mr . Robbins . Anything I need to do ? +Will you please cut it for a while and come in here to take a letter ? +Is it urgent ? +Yes , this letter can't go into the mail any later than 5 . It's about a contract . +Ok , I am coming . +Please take a seat , Diana . Have you got your spare pens and pencils ? +Yes , I have this time . But If I don't understand a word or a phrase when you are dictating , can I ask you halfway ? +No , I ’ d prefer not . I don't want any interruptions every other minute , but you can ask me at the end of the letter . +All right . I understand now . Do you think I should leave a margin on every page wide enough for notes and amendments . +Of course , Diana . You'd better pay attention to the spelling when you type it . +Certainly I will , Mr . Robbins . By the way , may I use a window envelope ? +Yes , that's fine . Now when you finish these , I want you to put these cards in alphabetical order , using the last names , and then make a list . +You want the cards in alphabetical order using the last names ? +Right . And the last thing , we are going to clean the files out tomorrow . Now let's begin . +You're finally here ! What took so long ? +I got stuck in traffic again . There was a terrible traffic jam near the Carrefour intersection . +It's always rather congested down there during rush hour . Maybe you should try to find a different route to get home . +I don't think it can be avoided , to be honest . +perhaps it would be better if you started taking public transport system to work . +I think it's something that I'll have to consider . The public transport system is pretty good . +It would be better for the environment , too . +I know . I feel bad about how much my car is adding to the pollution problem in this city . +Taking the subway would be a lot less stressful than driving as well . +The only problem is that I'm going to really miss having the freedom that you have with a car . +Well , when it's nicer outside , you can start biking to work . That will give you just as much freedom as your car usually provides . +That's true . I could certainly use the exercise ! +So , are you going to quit driving to work then ? +Yes , it's not good for me or for the environment . +That's really convenient . We were wondering if you could take a little off the rent , though . +I can take two thousand off . That'll make the rent twenty-eight thousand . +That's great . Every little bit counts . And we don't need the parking space . I guess we could rent it out . +Sure , for at least three thousand per month . +That'll bring the price down to twenty-five . That's the price we were shooting for . +I'm glad . Now , there's a deposit fee of two month's rent . +Hello . I sent out my laundry yesterday.Aren ' t they ready ? +They'll be ready by this afternoon . +Oh , no ! I'm leaving for Japan at 11 this morning . +Is that right ? We're very sorry . +I thought it was " the same day " service.Anyway , please do hurry . +I'm afraid we can't return it by 11 o'clock . +Well , then , would you send it to Japan , please ? +Yes , we'll do so . +Hello , welcome to Lincoln Bank . What can we do for you today ? +I want to effect payment under an L / C today . +No problem . OK ... just checking for you . Ah , I'm afraid there aren't enough funds in your account to cover this transaction . What you can do is buy some US dollars , using local currency and we can credit your account with that amount . +That seems alright . What's the exchange rate like today ? Good or bad ? +It's not too bad today , actually . 828.23 . +How can I help you , sir ? +I am here to have a discussion on your company's investment issue . +Sorry , could you tell me your name ? +I am James Pond from FAM Company and I am here to discuss it with Nova . +Do you have an appointment ? +Yes , I did it yesterday . Our meeting should be 2 pm . +I guess she forgot your meeting . She is attending an important meeting in the company . Will you have a seat ?

I'm sure you all have a copy of the agenda .

I will not permit fighting in this campus . +the air quality in this city is horrendous ! The pollution levels were so high that we weren't supposed to go outside with a face mask again ! +exhaust fumes from vehicles cause a great deal of damage to the environment . +on top of that , there are a few large chemical factories in the suburbs , which are contributing to the high pollution levels in the water and the air in this city . +as much as I love this city , I think I'm going to have to find a greener city to live in . Living in a polluted city like this just can't be good for my health . +I know what you mean . However , there are so few places left that have not been affected by global warming . If it's not the pollution , then it's the natural disasters , deforestation , or the greenhouse +what is the greenhouse effect exactly ? +it's the gradual rise in the earth's temperature . +I see , so it's similar to global warming ? +they're related to one another , yes . +I heard that some people in England are pleased with the fact that the climate is becoming warmer because it's making their towns a more pleasant place to live . +people joke about the benefits of the increase in temperature , but it's not all good news . They've been experiencing a lot of deadly storms there as well . +people always seem to make jokes as a way to deal with unfortunate situations . +I think if everyone pitches in , the world will be a better place . +Would you like some cookies ? I just made them . +Thank you .

You can change it to a more convenient number if you like . +Ok , I ’ Ve entered my PIN . There are several options on the screen . I guess I just choose which service I want , don ’ t I ? +Yes . Choose the service you need to use . If you choose to withdraw money , the machine will ask you how much you want . +I can just enter the amount using the key , right ? +That ’ s right . Give the machine a moment to process you request . Then take your money . +These machines aren ’ t very difficult to use . In fact , I quite like them .

Could you handle it for me ? +Yes , madam , how much would you like to remit ? +2,000 AD $ . +Which would you like to remit , by mail or by cable ? +What is the difference between them ? +The cable will take less time for your account , in the meantime , the regular service charge is also higher than that of the mail one . +Well , I think the cable is better . +OK , please fill in the application form giving the name and address of beneficiary , your name and telephone . +All right . Here you are . +Everything is OK . The commission is 50 yuan . +Here you are .

It smells fragrant . +That's right . All my guests , attention please . We will have half an hour to visit the spring and take photos .

Do you have any ideas ? +Some of them , I think , are not good . +It doesn't taste good ? +No , I mean some of them are not clean enough . +That's my greatest concern . But how can you tell which one is clean ? +I judge by appearances . +I got it .

What if I can ’ t get a hold of them by phone ? +Then , you should e-mail them with the information . +Where can I find their e-mail addresses ? +They should have then listed on their resumes . +And if there aren ’ t any e-mail addresses ? +Then send them a SMS on their cell phone . +Ok . That sounds easy enough . Have you called any of them yet ? +Yes . I called the first three people on the list , but they didn ’ t pick up . +Did you leave a voice message ? +I left a voice message on one---just for the first person on the list . +I see . What did you tell her ? +I told her that she should call me back at my office number . +Ok , so , maybe I should call her again . +Yes , that sounds like a good idea . She might not get the other message in time . +One more question . It looks like some of these numbers are long-distance . Do you have a calling card that I can use to get through to them ? +Sure .

Philips Robert . +The environment varies greatly because of difference in language , customs and traditions . +Yes . This gap can be filled by export market research before exporting . +But the importance of the export research is often neglected by the managers . +That's right . They do not appreciate its value and consider it to be a luxury . +Therefore , when enterprises are spending a lot of money in trying to penetrate a new market , they should research whether their products can be sold at high enough a price and in a satisfactory amount . +Exactly ! +Hello , I really appreciate the opportunity to interview for this position . +I was wondering if you like team projects , or projects that you work on alone . +I like to work on group projects that value and need each individual ’ s contributions . +Are you most interested in a good steady job with benefits or one that will allow you to quickly advance ? +I have children so a steady job is important but I would like a chance to advance . +How would you feel about relocating to another state ? +I could not relocate in the next year , but might be open to it in the future . +Do you know how much this job offers per year ? +A minimum of 75,000 per year . +OK , well , that ’ s all I need to know for now .

Beautiful day , isn ’ t it ? +Yes , it is ! +Excuse me , is this the Auto Consumer Loan Center ? +Yes . Is there anything I can do for you ? +Could you tell me something about the terms and interest rates for personal automobile consumer loan ? +The deadline is normally no more than 5 years with the interest adopted according to the corresponding lending rates announced by the PBC . +I plan to take the loan for 3 years . +Well , the yearly interest rate is 5.49 % for 3 years . I'm sure you are qualified to apply for this loan . +What about the loan repayment ? +You may choose a repayment pattern by consulting with our bank , for example , payment of equal amount of principal or of principal and interest on monthly installments . +Does that mean I should deposit sufficient money to my account prior to the monthly payment date so that you can directly deduct the repayment of the principal and interest ? +Exactly . You are permitted to effect and early payment in part or in full with the consent of our bank . +That's very thoughtful of you . Thank you so much . +You're welcome . +You really need to look at some of the problems we are having with the apartment . +That apartment never had any problems before . Are you sure the problem isn ’ t you ? +We spoke with you the first week we moved in about things that you promised to fix . +Where do you think you have problems ? +There is no hot water , the bedroom has a broken window , and there are rats in the kitchen . +You know , no one else who has been in that apartment has had a problem before . +You are obligated to maintain your building and my apartment . +I will fix these problems when I get around to it . +I will be withholding my rent check this Friday unless these problems are addressed immediately . +You can ’ t do that !

Where to ? +Wangfujing , please ! +All right . +Oh , I like the music on your radio . It's nice . +Thank you ! I always tune to this program when driving . So what's your favorite program ? +I like Winner's English very mush . You know the Beijing Olympic Games is right around the corner . We should learn English Well . It's on FM 96.6 , China Business Radio . You can get it on your radio too . +But I don't speak English at all . +That's OK . The program is especially for the beginners like us . +Really ?

There have already been half a million layoffs in the last few months , and we have no idea how the proposed stimulus package will impact the economy . There ’ s just too much instability . I wouldn ’ t feel comfortable investing in this climate . +But look at it this way , every challenge is an opportunity.And anyway , I ’ m not talking about investing in the domestic market . There are emerging markets that promise great returns . Look at China , for example.they have 1.4 billion people , half a billion of whom have recently entered the middle class . Here alone , the aggregate demand for consumer goods represents an amazing wealth generating opportunity . +Come on , son , you ’ re looking at this too naively , the Chinese market has exhibited a great deal of instability , and their currency has been devalued by almost a whole percentage point . +Fine , then !

You could be on call at any time . We do have to work very unsociable hours at times . +Well I am used to that , Mr . Parsons , so that ’ s not really a shock for me . +Good , as long as you understand that . +And when do you need to fill the vacancy , Mr . Parsons ? +Yesterday ! But no , we are hoping to start from the beginning of next month . +That sounds ideal . +Smells good ! What ’ s for breakfast ? +Well , since we are getting up so late , I decided to make a big breakfast ! +Nice ! Brunch ! +Kind of , so I made scrambled and soft boiled eggs , some french toast and buttermilk pancakes ! +Wow ! You really went all out ! Did you make any coffee ? +Yeah , just the way you like it ! I also put out some cereal and muesli if you feel like having something more light . +Looks good ! I ’ ll squeeze us some fresh orange juice . +Get the jam and butter while you are in there ! Oh ! And don ’ t forget the syrup ! +Come on , fellows .

I took the National English Speaking Contest in CCTV 2008 and I got first place . +Excuse me , I'd like to have these pants I bought here yesterday altered . Here's my receipt . +Certainly , sir .

We have just had a cancellation . +What is it like ? +It's a big room with a king-size double bed and two single beds . We could also add rollaways . +That's great !

Smith , but I have to change it . +When you made your appointment , what day did you choose ? +My appointment was on Wednesday . +At what time was that appointment ? +It was for 4 +I can see the appointment that you had . What day do you need to change to ? +I want to change to next Tuesday . +What time would you prefer ? +I would prefer three o ’ clock in the afternoon . +I will put you down for that time . Thank you for calling to reschedule . +Can I help you ? +En , I am looking for a porter , do you know where I can find one ? +There are so many here.The men with red hats are the porters . +What's the charge ? +Well , it depends how many pieces of luggages you have . +Thank you . +Have you read the new rules about using cell phone at work ? +Yes , not bad . Like turn your cell phone ringer off and find a private place to make calls which it ’ s showing your respect to your co-workers . +Well , but for this one , don ’ t bring your cell phone to meetings , I think it is not reasonable . What if there are some important calls ? +Well , this one is not compulsory . It is just suggestion . +I didn ’ t pay attention to that . +Do you think we should travel by bus or by train ? +It's a difficult choice.The train is a little faster , but much more expensive . +We could face delays if we travel by bus , thanks to traffic jams . +Buses are more cramps and you can't walk around . +That's true.But I feel that I see more when I travel by bus . +Really ? I think you see more traveling by train . +So which form of transport do you prefer to use ? +I prefer going by train , even though it costs more . +Ok , then we'll go by train . I'm sure we'll have a good journey.Shall we go to the station and buy the tickets ? +The trains aren't usually full.We can get them on the day we travel.We should buy return tickets , because they are much cheaper than getting 2 singles . +We should take a packed lunch on the journey.The food they sell on the trains is always expensive . +Did you hear about Lulu ? +No , what ? +She and Vic broke up and now she ’ s asked for a transfer . +Get out of here ! I didn ’ t even know they were dating ! +No one really did . They were very discreet and professional at the office . +Here's a model of our latest design . What do you think of it ? +Well , I'm not too happy about it . +What's wrong with it ? +Well , I'm afraid it's not at all what I wanted . You haven't really followed my instructions.It ' ll have to be done again . +Oh , dear ! +Hello , this is the International Youth Hotel . How can I help you ? +oh , yes . I want to check whether you still have any vacancies . I need three single rooms for next Monday . +ok . There're vacancies . Since the peak season is coming , it's advisable to book soon . Would you like to make a reservation now ? +yes , please . Do you take credit cards ? +yes , we accept all major credit cards . +and how about Internet access ? +there's free Internet access in the lobby . +is it available in the rooms ? +Unfortunately not . +that's OK . Is breakfast included ? +yes , breakfast is included and parking is available . +fantastic . Thank you very much . +you're welcome . And we have 24 hour reception . Please don't hesitate to call anytime if you have any further questions . +I have been very busy this year , working late , often taking work home and taking no vacation . I feel exhausted . +You should ask for a holiday and relax yourself for a little bit . You worked so hard . +You are right . For the past few weeks , I had no appetite and couldn ’ t sleep well . What ’ s worse my back started aching this Monday . It is time for me to take a vacation . +What sort of shopping is nearby , Mr . Taylor ? +Call me John . This is a great area of the city for shopping . There ’ s a grocery store just around the corner . +What about things other than food ? +Well , the Riverside Mall has 200 stores in it , including four major department stores . +Are there small shops near here as well ? +Yes , on 4th street , near the movie theater there are many specialty shops , including clothing boutiques . +Well , that sounds just wonderful . +Yes , it ’ s a really nice neighborhood . +Now darling , I know that we've bought this house together , but it's just going to be far too expensive to decorate it . I think we should sell it . +Oh , no , Nathan , I ... I really think we've bought this flat at the right time , you know.Market prices are going to go up , and I think you'll find in a year or two it will be worth a lot more . +But we're going to spend so much money in furnishing and decorating . I think we could get a much cheaper place that's already furnished . +But don't you like this place ? I remember when we came to see it we thought it would be lovely . +Well , only you liked it really , darling . +Oh , why didn't you say so then ? But I still think we've made a good buy . +Hi , Bob , everything okay ? +More or less . There's just one thing bothering me . +Oh ? What's that ? +Well , you know I have some students studying for their master's degree . One of them tried to give me a gift that kinda made me uneasy . +What gift ? +It's an Egyptian carpet . The student came to my office the other day and brought the carpet to show his gratitude . Seeing what gift was , I was really uncomfortable . I mean it's too expensive a gift for a student to give a professor . I don't think I've done anything to deserve that gift , so I refused it . +You refused the gift ? That's terrible . +I know , but I really can't accept such an expensive gift . I explained to him why , but he seemed really upset about it . I think he might have taken it the wrong way . +Perhaps . He probably thinks you considered the gift a bribe for a higher grade . +That's what I am worried about . I do understand the respect attached with the gift and I am honored . But I really don't think it's proper for a student to spend a fortune on a gift for a professor . I think we need to have a talk to make sure we are on the same page . +I've been looking for a swimming pool , but I haven't found one yet . +We have no pool , sir , but we do have swim stations in our gym . +Swim stations ? Could you be a little more explicit ? +You know how you run on a treadmill but don't go anywhere ? Well , it's the same thing . +Gee , that's a great idea . Now , how much do I have to pay ? +The stations are absolutely free to guests , sir . +Great ! Now , when can I go down there and use the stations ? +The swim stations are open daily from 7 a . m . to 10 p . m . +Boy , oh boy ! I can't wait to change into my swim trunks . +Be warned , sir . At certain hours the swim stations are very crowded . +Hi . Today , I am the interviewer for your visa application . +OK . Here is my application form and all the documents . +Can you tell me why do you want a visa to America ? +Because I want to have a view of the exotic landscapes to extend my views and understanding of the world . +OK . Do you plan to go to America all by yourself or with your family ? +Myself . +Have you finished all you preparation ? +Yes . Everything is ready . +What a pity you are leaving so soon . I wish you could stay a few more days . Sir , can you deliver a speech for us ? +Dear friends . Here , I wish to say a word of thanks for holding this send-off party for me . Actually I didn't expect at all for this . I owe a lot to all of you here . It's been 5 days since I came to visit here . Time really flies . I feel grateful for your welcome and help in the five days . I will miss you while I am leaving . Let's keep in touch in any way . What's more , to the success of our face-to-face meeting , to the upcoming cooperation of our two companies , bottom up ! +Cheers ! And we are honored to have such an honored guest today . Mr . James , I hope we will meet somewhere in the near future . +Madam , we also welcome you to visit our company . I hope you can also bring your family there to have a look of our company . In this way , we will know each other better . +Definitely ! Thank you ! +I have been thinking of buying a house and would like to speak with you . +I have time to speak with you . Where would you like to purchase your house ? +I am most interested in Pasadena or Arcadia , but would be open to other suggestions . +How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need ? +We have several generations of family living in our household and so need a very large home . +Do you need to be located in a particular school district ? +It doesn ’ t matter , as we do not have any children . +Is a view important to you , or would you rather be located on a lakeshore lot ? +In a perfect world , we would like a home with a view of the lake . +Thank you for all of the information . I will help you find the perfect house for you . +Waiter . +Would you like anything else ? +No , thanks . Please bring us the bill . +All right . And do you want to separate bills or just one single bill ? +Separate bills , please . +Here is your bill . It comes to 80 yuan . And yours is 60 yuan . +Here you are . Thank you +If this coat doesn't fit , may I bring it back later ? +Sorry , We don't take returns on sale items . +What are the attractions of that city ? +It's famous for beautiful countryside with clean air . +Oh , that's what I am looking for . Do you have a reduction for 6 persons ? +Yes , sir . We offer a 10 % discount for groups more than 5 . +I would like to order a waistcoat . +Have you chosen the material ? +Yes , I want it to made of tweed . +Fine . And the charge is $ 100 . +When will it be available ? +Next Wednesday . +Hi , I'm George . I'll be your waiter this evening . Are you ready to order or do you need a few more minutes ? +I'm ready now . I'd like the roast chicken and a side order of corn . +And would you like an appetizer before your meal ? The soup of the day is our delicious tomato soup . +I'll pass on the soup , but I'd like a garden salad . +Can I get you anything to drink ? +Yes , I'd like a glass of iced tea . +Okay . I'll be back in a minute with your drink and salad . +Thank you . +What is your salary at present ? +My present pay is 100,000 Yuan per year . +What are your salary expectations now ? +I like to be paid more than that . Hopefully , 120,000 Yuan per year . +That's a little more than we had planned . +I think you'll find I'm worth that . +I can only offer you 110,000 Yuan a year . Raises will be given after a three-month probation according to your performance . Is that satisfactory ? +Yes , it is quite reasonable . +Excuse me . I've been waiting for my main dish for quite a time . +Yes , sir.Just a minute , please , I'll check with the kitchen . +Thank you for waiting.It takes another ten to fifteen minutes , I'm afraid . +We have an appointment in half an hour . +I see . +Do you have anything else I can have instead ? +Well , yes.How about beef stew ? We can serve you at once . +I'll take beef stew , then . +Hi , Sally ! You are talking to the proud father of a new baby girl ! +Congratulations , Bob ! That ’ s great news , what ’ s her name ? +We ’ Ve named her Alice after my wife ’ s grandmother . +That ’ s a pretty name . Give your wife my best ! +Excuse me , can you tell me where is the taxi stand ? +You can find one at the end of the street . +Are there any signs there ? +No.but there are quite many cars . +Thank you . +Would Dr.Black be able to see me at 9:00 a . m . tomorrow ? +I'm sorry , but she won't have any openings until 11:00 , unless there's a cancellation . +Would 1 : OO p . m . be convenient ? +Yes , she's free then . +Oh ! ! ! I have a horrible toothache . +You should go to the dentist . +I hate dentists . +Well , suffer then . If you have a toothache , you have to go to the dentist . +It always hurts . I hate going . +Stop being such a baby . If it really hurts that much , just let them knock you out . +O . K . , O . K . , I ’ ll go . +Good . You feel better after you do . +Sally , you look so corporate ! What interview do you have today ? +Amalgamated Trading Company . It's Swiss . Don't you think working at a foreign company would be glamorous ? +Yeah , I guess so . I've never actually heard of this one , but ... +Well , it's small , but it's a young , dynamic , rapidly-growing company with a progressive , humanistic philosophy . +You didn't read their brochure or anything , did you ? +Four times . I'm totally prepared . Oh , no ! I forgot to take off my nail polish ! And I have to be there in 15 minutes ! That's it . I blew it . +Well , they are progressive and humanistic-maybe they don't care about nail polish ... uh ... even blue nail polish . Just keep your confidence up and you'll do great . +But the competition is fierce this year ... and it seems like I'm the only one left who hasn't found a job . +Not quite the only one . I really wanted that job at the magazine , but I still haven't heard from them . +I'm calling to tell you that the merchandise ordered last month has not arrived yet . +I'm sorry , hold on a moment . I'll check it out . But we have already shipped it to you last month . Would you like us to contact the express company to know what's going on ? +Please find out the reason as soon as possible . We are in bad need of it . +Ok , I am terribly sorry for the trouble you are getting into.We will contact you first thing , once we know the reason . +I really want to make something for dinner . +What are you going to cook ? +I haven't the slightest clue what I'm going to make . +A teriyaki bowl sounds nice . +I don't know how to make that . +All you need to make it is white rice and some teriyaki beef . +That sounds fairly simple , but how do I cook it ? +The first and simplest thing you have to do is make some white rice . +What's next ? +Then you should shred your beef and pour some teriyaki marinade over it . +What's the next thing I need to do ? +Then all you need to do is cook it and enjoy . +How do I submit an expense report ? +You need all your receipts for reimbursement . +You mean I have to attach the receipts with the expense report ? +Yes , here is the form for an expense report . Fill it out and give it to me . I ’ ll get it signed for you . +Good morning ! +Can I speak to Miss Cooper please ? +Would you hold on a second , please ? Miss Cooper's extension is engaged . +Engaged . Oh , dear ! Could you tell her it's a long-distance call ? +I'm sorry , sir . I can't interrupt her . I'm sure she won't be very long . +How long do you think she'll be ? +I really can't say how long she'll be . +Can I leave a message , please ? +Yes , certainly . +Can you tell her I'm waiting to speak to her ? +Yes , sir . I'll ring her on an inside line if you like . +Thank you very much . +Excuse me , waiter , would you please bring us a nest ? A friend of mine will join us . +Wait a moment . Here you are . +By the way , we would like to order some dishes for my friend . +Sure . +Can you help me out , Chuck ? +Sure . What's it , Yvonne ? +I want to put my desk over there , but it's too heavy for me to move . +Okay , you take one end and I'll take the other . +Good morning . Madam . What can I do for you today ? +Hello . I hope you can help me ; I'm a little worried about my new card . +What seems to be the problem ? +I received my new card this morning , but I'm unable to use it . +Oh ? You mean , the ATM machine has eaten it ? +No , it's right here , see ? The ATM will not accept it ! +You said you received your card this morning , am I right ? +Yes . I was told it would be activated and ready to use right away . So , what's gone wrong ? +Did you receive your PIN number yet , Madam ? You see , unless you have your new PIN number , to match your new card , you cannot use it . We usually send that separately , around one day after the card , for security reasons . +Well , that explains it . I've been using my old PIN number ! Thanks for explaining everything to me . +Can you manage chopsticks ? +Why not ? See . +Good mastery . How do you like our Chinese food ? +Oh , great ! It's delicious . You see , I am already putting on weight . There is one thing I don't like however , MSG . +What's wrong with MSG ? It helps to bring out the taste of the food . +According to some studies it may cause cancer . +Oh , don't let that worry you . If that were true , China wouldn't have such a large population . +I just happen to have a question for you guys . Why do the Chinese cook the vegetables ? You see what I mean is that most vitamin are destroyed when heated . +I don't know exactly . It's a tradition . Maybe it's for sanitary reasons . +Hi , Francis , how was your business trip ? +It was a nightmare . +What ’ s up ? +Actually , the business trip itself was very successful . We arrived on time , we had nice conversations and we settled some important issues for the next year . +Sounds quite fruitful , why do you call it still a nightmare then ? +Well , the air line lost my luggage on the return flight and then I lost my carry on bag when I was tackling with the officers in charge . I left the airport three hours later than I expected and then I was caught in a traffic jam . When I finally got home , I was totally exhausted . But I found the elevator was out of service due to a blackout . +This is really a sad story . Did they trace back your luggage ? +I am still waiting for their call . +Take it easy , all sufferings have their reward . +Do you have any seat preferences , sir ? +Yes , could you put me in the no-smoking section ? +Yes . Would you like a window seat ? +If one's available , please . But not over the wing . +morning . Rent-A-Car Agency . May I help you ? +Good morning . This is Paul Alexander calling from the Isis Advertising Firm . We need a car to the airport for Mr . Phillips . +Certainly , Mr . Alexander . When would Mr . Phillips like to leave ? +Let me check ... His flight ’ s at 2:30 p . m . , so he should leave no later than 12 noon . +I'm calling today about a bill that I never received . +Can you tell me which credit card it was for ? +It was for my Master Card . +You should've gotten that bill two weeks ago . +I haven't got it in the mail yet . +The computer is showing that all bills have been mailed . +What am I supposed to do about my bill then ? +Maybe you should call your post office . +But if it's their mistake , can I get an extension on my bill payment ? +Yes , but you will need to send us proof of their mistake . +Okay , thank you very much for your help . +Not a problem . Enjoy the rest of your day . +Jenny , don't you think it's really charming ? +Yes . It's a feast of eyes to walking in the museum . +Let's take our time and enjoy the art and sprite of the famous museum . +What a shame that we can't take pictures . +OK , Allen . It's your turn . Are you ready ? +I really would rather just listen . Isn't there anyone else who wants to sing ? +Come on ! In the two hours we've been here you haven't sung even one song ! +I know , but ... Hey , Stanley's here ! I've been wanting to hear him sing all night . +Well , you asked for it . Why don't you put on an Elvis song for him . He loves " The King . " +I'll put the song at the front of the list . +Here is the document you asked for this morning . +Oh , you are so efficient . I thought you might give it to me tomorrow . Thanks . +You ’ re welcome . You know , these days I have been reflecting on my biggest weakness procrastination . The more I think about it , the more I hate myself for being so disorganized . I decided to change the situation as soon as possible . Otherwise I will be more regretful later . +This is encouraging news , good for you ! What is your solution , then ? +The most useful method is to make plans and set priorities . It helps me to manage time well and get the most important things done at the first place . +Sounds not bad ! Better performance isn ’ t just about doing a lot more . It is about focusing on the right things to do . +How are you doing , Jim ? +Fine , just fine.How about you ? +Not too bad . +I think your presentation impressed the client , Daniel . You did a good job . +Thank you , Mr . Cooper . I hope we get the contract . +What's for lunch ? +Pork chops . +What happened to you ? +I think I caught a cold . +Do you have any symptoms ? +Runny nose and coughing . +Do you have a fever ? +I have just taken the temperature , I don't think so . +It's not serious . +Are you sure ? +Yes . +What should I do ? +You should drink more hot water , and do some exercise . +What kind of place shall we rent ? +It should be close to the university . Neither of us are good at getting up in the mornings and closer it is , the later we can get up . +Absolutely . That's the most important thing to take into consideration . I'm not too worried about the size of the flat . +Neither am I . so a small place is ok , but we'll get a bigger one if it's not expensive . Do you mind if it's in a noisy area . +I don't mind . I'm not a light sleeper , but quieter is better for when we have to study at home . +Good point . Ok , let's go to the estate agent and see what they can offer us . +Yes , if we're lucky we'll find something in the next few days . I think you had a good idea to start flat hunting early . +How much do you think the rent will be ? +I asked a few people who are already living in places near the university and they said it would cost about one hundred pounds a month . +I don't think we can meet the delivery date you suggest . It's too soon . +Well , is it possible for you to effect shipment by the middle of June ? +The earliest we can do is by the end of June . +Did you have any working experience during college ? +Yes , I did some part-time jobs such as English tutor , salesman , and model . +What did you learn from your part-time jobs ? +I learned to be patient , professional and gained a ll of experience of direct sales . +Smells good ! What ’ s for breakfast ? +Well , since we are getting up so late , I decided to make a big breakfast ! +Nice ! Brunch ! +Kind of , so I made scrambled and soft boiled eggs , some french toast and buttermilk pancakes ! +Wow ! You really went all out ! Did you make any coffee ? +Yeah , just the way you like it ! I also put out some cereal and muesli if you feel like having something more light . +Looks good ! I ’ ll squeeze us some fresh orange juice . +Get the jam and butter while you are in there ! Oh ! And don ’ t forget the syrup ! +Can you tell me if there is a flight to New York ? +Yes . Flight DB117 departs at 5:38 pm and arrives in New York at 6:00 am with a layover in Chicago . It also makes a refueling stop at Colombia . +So many stops ! Don't you have any direct flights ? +Sorry sir , it is the only flight wa have right now . +Hello.Hot water overflowed from the bathtub.Will you help me ? +Would you turn off the tap ? +I did it . +Then will you put all the towels under the bathroom door ? +OK . I will . +I'll have our housekeeper come right away . +I'm sorry I was too tired to fall asleep . +When you woke up , the water was coming out of the tub . +Right.Can I compensate for the damage with the travel accident insurance ? +Would you like some more coffee ? +No thanks . I'm full . We need to find our waitress and get our bill . +The waitress is bringing the bill right now . +This waitress has really been on top of things , hasn't she ? +Yes , this waitress did a great job . +OK , let's see what the damage is . The total for our meal is $ 36.00 . +What do you think would be the right amount to leave for a tip ? +Fifteen percent is a normal tip , but she really did a great job . What do you think about 20 % this time ? +Yes , 20 % would be perfect . +Her tip will end up being $ 7.20 plus the bill of $ 36.00 . The total will be $ 43.20 . +Yes , that was one fantastic meal ! +I agree . Maybe we can come back again next week . +It ’ s time for me to go now . +Would you like me to go with you ? +I ’ d rather you stayed in the office and did these things . +Do you want to type that letter ? +I ’ d rather you typed it . +Do you want to tell her ? +I ’ d rather you told her . +Freeze ! Police ! Put your hands over your head . +What crime did I commit ? +You are suspected of hiding illegal drugs , so we are taking you into custody . We ’ Ve found some heroin in your house . You have the following rights while you are being interviewed . You have the right to remain silent . You don't have to make any statement against your will . You have the right to defense counsel . You have the right to request an investigation of evidence favorable to your case . Do you understand your rights ? +I am innocent . +Would you like to come by and play bridge ? +Well , let's see . Why don't we go dancing for a change ? We haven't done that for a long time . +Well , to tell the truth , I don't really feel like it tonight . I had a pretty hard day and I'm sort of tired . +Hmm . Well , in that case , we could go to the movies . +Oh , we always go to the movies . Can't we do something different ? +Well , do you have any suggestions ? +Let's see . How do you feel about playing bridge ? +It's OK with me , but we don't have any beer and things . +Well , shall I call Janet and ask her and Tom to come over , and I'll go to the store and buy some stuff . +OK . +Hello , Janet . It's me ... Oh , fine . Just fine . Say , Janet , I was wondering if you and Tom were doing anything tonight ... No ? Well . would you like to come by our place and play a few hands of bridge ? +Tom , it's time for you to go to bed . +Good night , mum . +Good night . +Operator . May I help you ? +Yes . How do I get an outside line , please ? +Just dial 0 , wait for the dial tone , and then dial the phone number you want to call . Or we can place a call for you , if you want . +No , thanks a lot . I'll try it myself . +What's our target audience for this campaign ? +This go-around we're focusing on new moms , families with median income and one or more children under the age of two . +Do you think that's much different from the succor moms we tailored the last campaign for ? +Well , there are some similarities that come up . Because both groups are made up of mothers ... so as before , we can play up on maternal instincts , hygiene , safety , along those lines . But that being said , there are some specific differences that come into play because we are dealing with mothers of infants here . +Right , that makes sense . What's the average age ? +Demographics say an average age of 28.7 , educational background of university or post-grad , annual household income of 40-50 K a year . +John , I'd like to see you in my office for a minute . +Yes , sir , I'll be there in just a moment . +John , I have been watching you . I've been paying attention to you over the last quarter and I'm impressed . You've done a tremendous job in tackling some difficult accounts . I just want to let you to know , after this month's performance reviews , I'm recommending you for promotion . +Gosh sir , thank you , sir ! I had no idea there were any positions opening up in our department . +Well , it's not going to be in our department . I've recommended you for an interdepartmental transfer . There's supervisory spot opening up in financial . I'm turning your name in for it . +Management ? Wow , I had no idea I could move so quickly from entry level to managerial staff . +You've earned it . +How can I help you today ? +I am returning something that I bought yesterday . +What would you like to return ? +I'm returning a cellphone . +Was there something wrong with it ? +It's defective . +What isn't working on it ? +It keeps turning off on it's own . +Alright , do you have the receipt ? +I have it right here . +I'm going to take care of this and refund your money . +Thanks for your help . +I miss grandma . I dreamed about her yesterday . +Dear , let ’ s drop the subject . +Good morning , sir . Can I help you ? +Good morning . I'd like to cash this check . +Yes , sir . Can you show you identity ? +What about the driving license ? +Don't you have any other identification ? +I am sorry . I only have my driving license with me . +Ok . Would you please sign your name on the back of the check ? +Thank you . Here you are . +How do you want your money ? +Would you give me some in twenties and tens ? +All right . Please wait for a moment . +Could you fill in this form , please ? +All right . +Have you got any identification ? +Yes , here's my ID card . +Oh , my God ! I've been cheated ! +What ? What did you buy ? +It's a brick ! I can't believe how stupid I was . Damn it ! +What is it ? Why did you buy a brick ? +There was a guy on the sidewalk.He had three new boxes , Panasonic video camera boxes.He said he had to get rid of them quick . +And ? +So he said he'd sell me one for twenty dollars . A four-hundred-dollar camera for twenty bucks . +And it's a brick ? +Yes . +I can't believe how stupid you are . Why didn't you open the box ? +I wanted to . But he said , no , the box is still in its plastic wrap from the store.If it's opened , other people won't believe it's new . +So he had the boxes wrapped in plastic . +Yes , it was the kind of perfect plastic wrap that comes with new products.Look , it even had a bar-code price sticker on it ! It looked brand new . +But why would a guy be selling new video cameras for twenty dollars ? +He said he had to get rid of them . They were stolen . +Aha ! Now I understand.You were trying to buy stolen goods on the sidewalk.So , what I think is , you deserve to get cheated ! +C'mon , don't blame me ! I thought it was a new camera . We could use it.We were even thinking about buying a camera . I don't understand how he could have such a perfect-looking box . +That's no problem.He just has a friend who works in a shop that can do plastic wrap . That's easy.And probably it's the same shop he got the boxes from.Maybe his friend works in an electronics store . They sell video cameras there.Probably they had a couple video camera boxes lying around.So they get the idea of wrapping bricks to sell to fools like you.Twenty dollars a brick . That's a good profit if they can sell enough bricks . +You're right , Sarah . I was a fool . I can't believe it . How could I fall for such a trick ? +Hello , Arthur . What seems to be the problem ? +Hey doc . Well , I think I might need glasses . I ’ m getting headaches , and I really struggle to see things that are far away . But I have always had 20/20 vision . +Sounds like you may be far-sighted . OK , then , cover your left eye and read the chart in front of you . +Mmm .. . X , E , R , 3 , a question mark , and I can ’ t quite make out the other symbol but I think it ’ s the peace sign . +Wow , Arthur ! You ’ re as blind as a bat ! +Yeah , I know , my vision is really blurry at times . +Ok then , head on over to the other room and pick out some frames while I fill out your prescription . +Thanks doc ! +Arthur , that ’ s the bathroom . +Would you like some more coffee ? +No thanks . I'm full . We need to find our waitress and get our bill . +Good luck finding the waitress ! +The service this evening has kind of sucked . Is that our server over there ? +I'll go get the check , since our server doesn't seem to be headed this way . +Good . I'll just stay here until you get back . +So the total is $ 36.00 for our dinner . +How much of a tip do you think our waitress deserves ? +I wonder if no tip would be appropriate in light of the service . +I kind of feel the same way , but they may have just been really short-staffed tonight . +I think that we should leave 10 % . +$ 3.60 will be the right amount for the tip . +I want to fly to Congo on Monday , the 17th . +Let me see what's available . +By the way , I'd prefer a night flight . +Africa Airline 551 leaves at 9:00 pm . +That's fine . I want to pay in cash . Here is the money . +How much was your watch ? +Take a guess . +A guy in my office got the flu the other day . Today I seem to have come down with it , too . +Very likely . You have a slight fever . Do you have a headache , too ? +Yes . I wonder if you could do something to help me recover soon , because I'll be on a business trip in two days . +Well , you have to let your flu run its course . You must stop working and stay in bed to get plenty of rest . Usually it will take 4 to 6 days to make a full recovery . +But I'm going on a business trip in two days ! +Maybe you'll have to cancel it or postpone it . If you go out while you are sick , it won't help you recover . You may even pass your disease on to others . +Would you care for a drink ? +No , thanks . I'm fine . +Let's go practice your driving . +If that's what you want to do , then we can . +Did you buckle your seatbelt ? +I'm buckled up . What's next ? +You need to start the car now . +What do you want me to do ? +Go left . +How far should I go ? +I'll let you know when I want you to stop . +Tell me before you want me to stop . +All right , try parking here . +Thanks . Let's go driving again tomorrow . +How may I help you ? +I ’ m making a deposit today . +Cash or check ? +I would like to deposit a check . +You need to sign the back . +Okay . Here you go . +Would you like cash back ? +Yes , I would . +How much ? +Let me get $ 150 back . +Here you go . +Thank you . Have a good one . +I'd like to extend my visa for another two years . +Are you on a tourist visa or a student visa ? +Student visa . +What is the reason for extension ? +I'll go into a practical training as soon as I receive my Master ’ s degree from the University of Pennsylvania early next month . +We ’ ll need a letter from your university and a financial statement from you . +Do you like the apartment ? +I absolutely love the apartment . +Everything is okay ? +I do have one problem with the apartment . +What ’ s the problem ? +I don ’ t like all those stains in the carpet . +We will have the carpet cleaned before you move into the apartment . +I did not know that . +I assure you that we will , and if there are any more problems , feel free to tell me . +That was the only thing that I saw wrong with the apartment . +I ’ m glad to know that you think the apartment is so nice . +It ’ s absolutely incredible . I ’ ll take it . +Come in , Arnold . Have a seat . +Good morning . +Would you like something to drink ? +No , thank you . I just had two cups of coffee at my desk . +So , you're a serious coffee drinker . +Yes , it keeps me going . Sometimes I think I'm addicted . +Well , coffee isn't such a bad thing.Everyone has to have something.For me , it's cigars . Are you a cigar smoker ? +No , I've tried them . But I'm not really a smoker . +Well , what would you like to talk to me about ? +I wanted to set up this meeting with you to discuss a little proposal . +I'm glad when people have new ideas around here . Tell me about it . +It is about the staff meetings.You know how we have a staff meeting every Tuesday . +Yes . +Well , I have been thinking about it.And I believe we could do things more efficiently here . +What do you suggest ? +The way it is now , the staff from all four branches get together once a week.We meet for one hour . But I think a lot of time is wasted in transportation . +You mean because people have to go across town to get here . +Yes . Some people spend half of the morning on the road . +That's true . But our staff meetings are very important , Arnold . I don't know how we can function without them . +I think they are important too.That ' s why I want people to have a better attitude about them . +I know a lot of people think the meetings aren't too useful . I'm aware of that . +Here's what I propose . I think we should meet once every two weeks , but meet for ninety minutes or more . +Well . +I also think the meetings should be more focused.And I would be willing to take responsibility for that . +You mean you want to run the meetings ? +No , not really run them . But I could help organize them . I could discuss meeting topics with you , and then prepare a schedule for each meeting . I could then send an e-mail to all the staff to explain the coming meeting.This way the meetings would become more focused , and people would prepare better . +Hmm . But we would meet every two weeks . +I really think it would work.The meetings could be longer , and better organized . +I am not against the idea , Arnold.It may really be more efficient , as you say . I'll tell you what we can do.Why don't we try your proposal for a month , and see how it works . +Excellent . I would be happy to get started on it . +I will call the managers.Then tomorrow I'll tell you when we can schedule our first meeting in this " new style . " +Do you have a good English-Chinese dictionary ? +Sure . How about this one ? +Is this the latest edition ? +Yes . We have both the paperback and the hardcover . +What's the difference ? +The hardcover is more expensive . +Oh ! I see . I'll have the paperback , please . +Oriental China Airlines .

May I have your name , please ? +My name is Janice . Well , I book this ticket for Nova , the marketing manager of Pineapple Computer Company . Where can I get the flight ticket ? +You may take it up at the ticket office . That is located on International Street 150 . +Where are you feeling the pain ? +I can ’ t stand up ! My stomach is killing me ! +Can you put your hand where it hurts the most ? +It hurts smack in the middle of my gut ! +Did this just come on suddenly ? +I felt OK until an hour or so ago , and then I just doubled over . +Have you exercised strenuously or played sports recently ? +No , and I don ’ t usually get a lot of stomachaches . +We need to get you to an emergency room to see what the problem is . +I think that that is the best way to figure out what is causing this . Thank you . +May I help you ? +Yes , I would like to exchange some money . +what currency would you like to trade in ? +I would like to exchange Chinese RIB for American dollars . Do you accept $ 100 bills ? +No problem , we can accept any denomination . How much would you like to exchange today ? +Well , that depends on the rate . How much is the RIB trading at today ? +It's a shame you didn't come a little earlier , the exchange rate was reset yesterday afternoon . The American dollar is now worth 7.45RMB.If you would like to sell RIB , we can give you a rate of 7.35.Will that be all right ? +I guess , here , give me 5,000 RIB worth . I might as well exchange a little extra . Who knows what the exchange rate will be tomorrow ! +Has your son started school yet , Tom ? +Next week , it ’ s going to be quite a shock for him ! +He ’ ll get used to it . They always do . I still remember when my daughter started . Are you going with him on his first day ? +You bet . I wouldn ’ t miss it ! +May I speak to Mr.Huang , please ? +I'm sorry . Mr.Huang is quite busy right now . Could I pass him the message ? +Well , you see , I won't be able to keep my 9 +Let me see . He's free from 3:00 to 4:30 tomorrow afternoon . Can you make it then ? +Yes , of course . Thank you very much . +You're quite welcome . Thank you for calling . Bye-byeB +Dad , hurry ! The train is coming . Aha , I am a superman . +Don't rush , behave yourself please ! Let the people get off first . +Oh , we should . There are so many people . What if the train got full before we could get in ? +But , if we all pushed our way in , nobody could get off , and nobody could get in either . +How many stops are there to the Aidan station ? +There are four more stops . +Oh , my God ! +What's wrong ? You are like a little monkey , on pins and needles ! +Because I need to use the restroom . Is there a restroom on the train ? +No , not on the train , but in the station . +Why not ? You told me that subway is a kind of train . If it had no restroom . what kind of train would that be ? +Well , that is a question . You want to offer a suggestion ? +Oh , yeah , but not today . I am busy with praying the subway may get there as fast as possible . +I guess you'll never forget today . +This broth is wonderful . What's in it ? +Lamb and beef . It will get even tastier when we add the veggies ! +Hey ! Watch out ! You're using the same spoon for both broths ! +So ? +You're getting that hot stuff in my mild broth ! +You'll be OK . It's just a little bit ... +Pasadena Traffic School . How can I help you ? +I would like to sign up for some classes . +What classes did you want to sign up for ? +I need to take a driver's course . +You'll have to make an appointment . +What do I need to make an appointment for ? +You need an appointment so you can sign the papers . +All right , can I make an appointment right now ? +When are you available ? +Can I make it for tomorrow at 9 +I can schedule you for that day and time . +Thanks a lot .

How can I help you ? +Please clean up the table . +OK . And anything else I can do for you ? +I like a refill please . +Sure . +I made a reservation earlier this week , but I have to cancel it . +No problem , sir . Just tell me your name , phone number , and date of reservation . +Great ! I'm Rudy Randolph , 818-555-1234 , and my reservation was for April 9 to 15 . +Okay , sir , let me hit the delete button , and your reservation will be cancelled . +That was nice and fast . Thanks . +Not at all . +I'm about to run out of business cards . I need some new ones . +We can print as many as you like . Just tell me how many . +Two thousand should get me through the year . +Here's a form to get you started . +My old card is perfect , so all I want you to do is copy it exactly . +I think you'll be very pleased with how well we duplicate your old card . +... Here you go +Thanks . Come back here next Wednesday to pick up your order , please . +I'm sorry , but can you give me a three-day turnaround ? +If you don't mind paying a little extra , it's absolutely no problem . +Lisa , is there a milk section ? +No , there's no such section . The dairy section is where you'll find milk and cheese . +What's Condiments ? +That's where you'll find things like salt and pepper . +Oh , I see . +Let's go to aisle 4 to pick up some pasta for tonight . +Great ! Pasta for dinner . +And let's get a loaf of bread at the bakery for breakfast . +Maybe we should get a shopping cart . +I'll put the shopping basket back . +Did you lock the doors ? +All except the back door . I left that open for Tim . He took the dog for a walk . +Well , I'm going on to bed . I'm beat . +Okay . I'm going to stay up a while . I've got to go over the household budget . We're a little overspent this month . +Please tell Tim to close the door to the basement . I don't want the dog down there tonight . +Okay . Good night . See you at breakfast . +Well , I'm glad you're finally back . I was wondering what happened . +I feel kind of stupid . +Why ? +We got lost coming back . I guess I don't really know this town yet . +You got lost . You're kidding ! +No . We took a wrong turn somewhere.And Joseph doesn't know the town at all . So I started giving him directions.But I didn't really know where we were . So we got seriously lost . +You could have called . +I know I could have . But finally we asked someone where we were . +You've been gone for two hours . How could you get lost for so long ? +Guess where we ended up . +I don't know . Where ? +When we finally decided to ask someone , they told us we were in Grangerfield . +Grangerfield ! You were in Grangerfield ? That's a completely different town ! How could you drive to a completely different town ? +I don't know.The person we asked had to give us directions to the highway to get back here . +Grangerfield is like a dozen miles away from here . +I know it is . I don't know how it happened . +Hmm , maybe I do . +What ? +Maybe I have an idea how it happened . +How ? +You were too busy looking at Joseph , and you weren't paying attention to the road . +Oh , that's what you think , huh ? +Won't you have some of this ? +Yes , thanks . +It's my grandmother's favorite recipe for barbecue . +It's very good . How do you make it ? +I use a special dressing and homemade catsup . +This salad looks so nice-just right for a hot day . +I'm glad you like it . +You Americans usually have nutritious food . +Oh , but Chinese food is so delicious . I wish I knew how to cook Chinese food . Do you follow recipes ? +We use different spices but few people use recipes . They learn to cook by experience . +I always use a recipe but my grandmother never did . She was a great cook . She would make clam chowder and cornbread every Sunday night . +I like these shoes . +Do you realize that all these shoes are half off ? +Really ? +Yes , but the offer only lasts this week . +Do you have experience in advertising ? +Yes , I used to have a part-time job in advertising company . +What were you mean duties there ? +I mostly did advertising planning . +What qualities do you think an advertising planner should have ? +I think an advertising planner should have active thoughts , creative talent , and be sensitive to the changes in the market . +What was the most important thing you have learned at work ? +The most important thing I learned was that I must continuously improve my abilities . Advertising is a constantly evolving trade and creativity is an important fact in success . If I want to make in marking in advertising history , I can ’ t stop studying and creating . +Dad , may I have a room of my own ? +Oh , honey , I'm so sorry , we don't have enough space for you to have your own room . +Dad , but I don't want to share a room with Peter . He snores every night . +Honey , you can ask him to be quite . Otherwise you may punish him and tell him to stand out of the room , right ? +Alright . Maybe it's the only way to do it . +Come in and sit down , Jack . Now , what's the trouble ? +I've got a terrible pain in my stomach , Doctor . +I see . When did it start ? +It started yesterday . I didn't eat any supper . +Have you got a temperature ? +I think so . I feel very hot . +Let's see . Yes . You ' Ve got quite a high temperature . +I've got an awful headache , too , and my throat hurts . +Hm ... I think you ' Ve got the flu . +Is it serious ? +No , not at all , but you must stay in bed for three days and take this medicine . +How often must I take it ? +Three times a day after meals . +Thank you , Doctor.Goodbye . +Our usual supplier has let us down and I ’ Ve been looking through your parts catalogue . I need fifty GT670s . How soon can you deliver ? +Just a moment and I'll check . We ’ re expecting a delivery on Friday . We've only got ten in stock at the moment . I can deliver those by first thing tomorrow morning . There'll be an extra charge for special delivery . I'll have to send them by courier . +Why don ’ t you sit down and relax , darling ? +I don ’ t want to . +Well , come and talk to me then . +Certainly not . +May I turn on the radio then ? +Turn on the radio ? What for ? +So that we can sit down together and listen to some music . +Listen to some music ? And who ’ ll cook dinner ? Will you ? +Ok , I will . But let ’ s go to a disco after dinner . +To a disco ? Oh , no . You know I hate pop . +Good afternoon , ma'am . May I help you ? +Yes . Can I deposit valuables here ? +Of course , you can . Please put your articles in this bag and seal it . +OK . +Thank you . Here is your tag . +Would you tell me the rate per day for depositing my bag ? +Sure , madam . Only one dollar . +When does the cloakroom close ? +This cloakroom is open until 10 p . m . +Oh , dear ! I won't be back until about 11:30 tonight . Where can I pick up my bag ? +We will transfer your bag to the Lobby Floor Cloakroom . You may collect it there , madam . +I see . Thanks a lot . +You're welcome . +Can you develop the roll of film ? +Sure . +How long does it take ? +6 hours . If you are in a hurry we can develop it in 3 hours . +There is no need . I will come back tomorrow . +Good afternoon Miss , would you be interested in buying more life insurance ? You know , you can never get enough . +I think my husband has some . +Are you sure he ’ s purchased enough insurance for both of you ? If something terrible happened with your husband , and he doesn ’ t have sufficient insurance , my company does have a policy that could cover you and your husband if something happened to either of you . +That ’ s true . If something happened to my husband , I might lose everything . Both of us have to work to keep our home , car , and our children ’ s education . I can ’ t afford that by myself . +Could we sit and look at the policy I mentioned and see if that ’ s something suitable for you and your husband ? +Certainly . +The buildings are really magnificent . +Yes , millions of travelers come here every year for the view of the buildings . +The journey is worth while . Where are we going after this ? +We will visit the Statue of Liberty as scheduled . +Excuse me . +Yes ? +Do you have any information about the city sights ? +Sure . There ’ s a lot here in this pamphlet . +Thank you . And what ’ s the best way to get downtown ? +Take the subway . It ’ s $ 1.50 per ride . You can buy a petrol card at the station . +You ’ Ve been very helpful . +My pleasure . +I want to open a saving account , sir.What ' s the proper procedure ? +First , you fill out the application form and then we'll issue you a passbook . +Is there any minimum for the first deposit ? +No , Even a dollar is all right.Here ' s your passbook , sir ; just sign your name on it . +What is the annual interest rate ? +It varies from time to time.At present it is 6 % . +By the way , can I open a checking account too ? +By all means.But you have to deposit enough money before you can write out your checks . +You look depressed . What's on your mind ? +Well , I had a blood test last week . The doctor said that I have high blood pressure and my blood is thick and sticky . I'm very worried . +Take it easy . When we last talked , you promised there would be more exercises in your life . But now you are putting on some weight . +I have to admit it's easier said than done . +Well , I think it's time for you to change your eating habits and develop a healthy lifestyle . Regular exercise will improve your health . +But you know I'm just not into exercises . And I wouldn't have time for exercises , either . +You can do some jogging . It's easy and it doesn't take much time . +Actually , my doctor said the same thing . +Excuse me , sir , but you have to put your bags here before entering the market . +Oh . I am sorry . I was busy looking for some whisky.Can you tell me the exactly place where I can find any ? +Yes , it's on the third floor . +Here ' s my passport . I'm a visiting scholar . +Do you have anything to declare ? +No , these are all my personal effects . +What's in the bag ? Would you mind opening the bag ? +Not at all . I don't know what's dutiable . Do I have to pay duty on things for my own use ? +NO . You don't have to pay duty on personal belongings . +Thank you . +Do you work well under pressure ? +Working under pressure is exciting and challenging . I don ’ t mind working under pressure . I work well under that circumstance . People can , I can . +Do you have any particular conditions that you would like the company to take into consideration ? +No , nothing in particular . +How soon can you begin working for us ? +I need about two to three weeks for necessary formalities . I will quit then transfer to your company . +What do you want ? +I think I have a piece of apple pie . +Do you want something to drink ? +Coffee would be fine . +OK . Sit down and I'll get it . +Our new production control program's going live on Monday . The old and the new programs will operate in tandem for four to six weeks . That should give us time to iron out any little problems . +Hope it all goes well . We're very busy at the moment and certainly don't want any problems at this time of year . +Yes , I realise that . We've spent a long time planning and preparing for the change-over . I'm confident we won't have any major problems . +Who broke my chair ? +It wasn't me . +Can I help you , Madam ? +Could you tell me what Ants on the Tree is please ? +Certainly , Madam . It's a stir fried dish of minced pork with glass noodles . +Sounds nice . I'll have that please . +Finance , Angie speaking . +Hi Angie , it ’ s Tom Reynolds here . Can you tell me if my tuition fees for this semester have been approved ? +Yes , Mr . Reynolds . They were approved yesterday . You can pick up the check today . +Oh wow ! Thanks a million , Angie ! +Come in , please . +Good morning , sir ! +Good morning , please make yourself comfortable . +Thank you , sir . +Your name and examination number , please . +My name is Du Tao , number 3 . +Pardon ? +Du Tao . D-U for Du and T-A - 0 for Tao . +Yes , Mr . Du , when were you born ? +I was born on January 1st , 1988 . I ’ m 20 years old now . +Where do you live ? +I ’ m living at Room 222 , Building 18 , N . P . U . +Can you leave me your phone number ? +Gladly , 8962105 2 . +Good morning . May I help you ? +Yes . I'm looking for an apartment , I'd like two bedrooms . +All right . Have a seat , please . Let me ask you a few questions . First of all , may I have your name , please ? +My name's Donald Eakins . +How do you spell your last name , Mr.Eakins . +It's E-A-K-I-N-S . +E-A-K-I-N-S.First name , Donald . And what's your present address , Mr.Eakins ? +It's 1446 Pine Street . +1446 Pine . That's in San Francisco , isn't it ? +Yes , it is . +Did you check before you left the shop ? +Yes , I did . But when I got home , my son put it on and we found the hole . +Really ? Let me have a look at it . Mm . OK . Let me change it for another one . +Thank you very much . +I hate to do this , but I've got to cancel a reservation I made earlier this week . +All I need is your name , phone , and reservation date . +My name is Rudy Randolph . I'm at 818-555-1234 . The reservation was for April 9 . +Randolph , Rudy . Let me hit one button , sir , and now your reservation is cancelled . +Okay , thank you . I'll make another reservation as soon as I can . +It's been my pleasure to help you . +Did you go and buy your bus pass ? +No , I didn't . +When are you going to go get it ? +I'm not sure where they sell bus passes at . +Why didn't you just ask me ? +Where should I go ? +You can get one from student services . +I had no clue that I could get it there . +I already knew that . +Thanks for letting me know . +You're welcome . +I'm going to go and get it right now . +Tomorrow is my first day at work , what do you think I should be wearing ? +Well , if you want to look professional , serious and more conservative , a blue dress , white shirt and not-too-high shoes would be the best choice . But sometimes , very formal clothes will keep you at a distance from your colleagues . It depends on the company ’ s dress code . +Indeed , I found most of the employees dress casually when I went to the interview . Only the manager was in suit and tie and he just came back from a ceremony . It seems that their dress code is not that formal . Probably , I should put on car key and simple shirt . +Whatever you choose , make sure they are neat and clean . +Excuse me . Will you please keep an eye on my suitcase ? I just want to make a phone call . +Certainly , but will it take long ? +No , I'll be right back . +OK . I'll look after it then . +Mike's Mechanics . Can I help you ? +Yes , how do I get to your shop from Chilin ? +Go straight up Zhongshan Road and you will see our sign on your right , after you pass the museum . +Thank you very much . +Don't take too much off . I'm trying to grow my hair longer . +How about two inches ? +That sounds perfect . Do you think I can get some highlights today , too ? I've always wanted red . +I think that will over-process your hair , you should wait at least two weeks . +All right . I'll just have the cut and perm today . +Great . My assistant will wash your hair , and then I'll be back to help you . +OK . +Oh , damn . There ’ s another traffic jam on the highway . +How can there be a traffic jam on a 16 - lane highway every day ? +There are just too many people , and too many cars . +I wonder if there was an accident . +No , they just said it too many people were trying to get off at the Capitol exits . +Well , let ’ s put on some music . We ’ re going to be stuck in this for a while . +All right , what do you want to listen to ? +How about some Beatles ? +Yeah , all right . +Excuse me . Mr . Emory ? +Yes , Ms . Rodriguez ? How can I help you ? +I wanted to see if I could arrange a meeting with you to discuss recruitment . +Absolutely . I ’ Ve been wanting to meet with you about that . Let me just get my book . +Who ate the cookies that were sitting here ? +I did , Mom . +Shame on you . I was saving them for your brother . +Hello . May I speak to Brian , please ? +Sorry , you have the wrong number . There ’ s no Brian here . +Is this 777-9345 ? +No , it ’ s 777-9344 ? +Oh , I ’ m so sorry . +That ’ s OK . +Put all baggage on the conveyor belt . Walk through the detector age one at a time , please . +Excuse me , ma'ma . Could you walk back through the doorway again , please ? +What for ? +Airport security . Could you empty your pockets over here , please ? +Really ? I'm in a hurry . All right . +Ah , a set of keys . +I'm embarrassed ! I forgot completely about them . I'm terribly sorry . +That's all right . Enjoy your flight . +Thank you . +What's the matter with you , Paul ? +I'm not feeling well . I think I'm having a cold . +Looks like it.You need to drink a lot of water and take a good rest . +Yeah , I will . +Come on . All of us are waiting for you . +Oh , sorry . Cross my fingers . +Come on , Mary . We have to do the laundry . +Where are we going ? +Down to the basement . +Do you have a washer down there ? +Yes . We have a dryer , too . +That's so convenient . Where are the dirty clothes ? +They are in the basement already . +But I didn't see you carry them down . +Don't you know that we have a laundry chute in the house ? +Hi , John . +Oh , hi , Mary , come on in . Any problem ? +Oh , no problem . +Great . I forgot to ask you , though . How long did you want the place ? +Six months . +Oh , well , that might be a problem . I usually only sign one year leases . +Well , one year would be fine , too . I ’ m not planning on leaving the area anytime soon . +Well , if it ’ s not a problem . Then here you go . +Just let me look at it quickly . +Of course . +Looks like a standard lease . +Yeah , and don ’ t worry about the security deposit . If everything ’ s all right when you move out , you ’ ll get it back . +O . K . Great . Just sign and date it here ? +Yes . Thanks . You can move your stuff in tomorrow . +Wonderful . +Excuse me , could you tell me the bookshop ’ s address ? +Yes , the bookshop is just around the corner.Turn left and you ’ ll see the bookshop . +Thank you very much.By the way , is the hospital beside the bookshop . +Right , if you see the bookshop , you can see the hospital . +Thank you for your help . +Not at all . +Hello ! Is this Mr . Chang ? +Yes . Who is speaking ? +This is Kelly speaking . I am calling from London . How are you , Mr . Chang ? +Oh , Kelly , I couldn't recognize your voice . Well , I'm fine . +Mr .

This line is crossed . Can you speak louder , please ? +I will say it again ... Do you hear me now ? +Much better . I will definitely go to the airport to meet you . +Thank you very much . Goodbye . +Goodbye . +Hello , Mr . Hammer . Jack Ross here . I'm calling to confirm our appointment on Monday at ten o'clock in your office . +Yes . Everything's all set . +I'd like to bring Mr . Huang and Ms . Sun with me . +We're supposed to be meeting alone . +I know , but I think they may add something valuable to the discussion . +Fine . But no one else , OK ? +Yes , Mr . Hammer . +How beautiful the flower is ! +Really , it's so beautiful . +You like it . Well , I'll gather in for you . +You mustn't pick it in this place . +Where it is ? +It's a private garden . +You look fresh recently . And .. what's your weight now ? +110 pounds . +Really ? Congratulations ! That's really something beyond my imagination . How did you make it ? Did you keep on a diet ? +No , you know I can't bear eating less . +Then do the slim pills take effect on you ? +I've quit it already . I go to aerobics class everyday instead . +How's it going on ? +You see . I've lost my weight in spite of my good appetite . +I'd better exercise my body too . My limbs are rusty now . +I don't think so . You look full of energy every day . Time has stood still with you . +Thank you . +Ahhs ! I'm beat ! +What happened to you ? You look like you got hit by a tornado ! +I just got back from fighting the crowds . +You mean at the mall ? Was there a sale ? +Yeah . For five minutes , everything was half off . It was total chaos ... +Cool ! +Grabbing , pushing and shoving ... +Thank god you are open ! I have an emergency ! +Hello , Mr . Henderson what can I do for you ? +I need this dress and this suit dry cleaned ASAP ! +OK , I can have it ready by the end of the week . +No , you don ’ t understand , I need this tomorrow morning ! I accidentally spilled beer all over my wife ’ s dress and we have a wedding to attend tomorrow ! She ’ s gonna kill me ! +OK , I can have it ready tomorrow afternoon , but this suit is also very stained . I can ’ t guarantee we can remove it completely . +Fine ! Can you also iron and starch this shirt ? +Certainly . +Great ! This is our secret ! If you see my wife , say nothing to her about this ! +How often does the bus run ? +Every five minutes . +Oh , here comes a bus ! +It comes on the dot . +My warmest congratulations on your promotion ! +Thanks . It ’ s nothing special actually . +Don ’ t say that . It owes to your efforts and team spirit . +Oh , it was nothing . Anyone could have done it . I still have a lot to learn yet . +You are very modest . Best luck in your new position . +Thank you . I won ’ t let this promotion change me . +Yes , emergency . There is a huge fire here . +Calm down , sir . What's your name and where are you now ? +My name is Jerry and we are on the intersection of West Road and East Road . +Sir , leave the house if the fire draws any closer to your house . Our men will be over in 5 minutes . +Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by your work ? +Of course ! It is the No . 1 stressor in my life . You know job stress has become a very common problem these days . So we must learn to cope with it . +Totally agree . What is your solution ? +Well , there are two causes of job stress . One is employee characteristic and the other is company condition . So if we want to manage job stress , both we and the companies should do something . For me , I am trying to balance work and leisure time . You know , all work and no play make Jack a dull boy . +You seem to have a very relaxed outlook . +It is necessary . Positive attitude helps to prevent stress . +But I don ’ t think we can change our working condition . Anyway , we are not the bosses . +I heard some companies are providing stress management training and making changes inside them , like avoiding unrealistic deadlines and organizing relaxation activities . Our boss is a smart person . He will be learning from that if he would like to an efficient and healthy team . +Excuse me , is this the parcel counter ? +Yes , what can I do for you ? +I'd like to send this parcel , please . +What's in it , please ? +Some books and newspapers . +OK . please fill in this form and label it . +Is it all right ? +Yeah . And would you like to mail it by air ? +No , I'd rather send it by sea . +Thirteen yuan , please . Here is the receipt and change . +Thank you . +You are welcome . +But Ernie , we're still missing something . We need someone to play the music ! +Oh right ... you know , my friend Eric is a DJ . Maybe he would like to play with us . +Hmm ... does he have a good ear for hip hop music ? +Well , I don't know , but we can find out . We can talk to him and ask if he wants to join our group . +Excuse me , is there any room available ? I want a single one . +Yes . When do you want it ? +Next Today . By the way , is there a closed circuit TV ? +Yes , sir . +What about laundry ? +Sorry , sir . You have to pay by yourself . +What time does the museum close ? Any idea ? +I'm not sure , but I think It's open until 4 o'clock . +What time is it now ? +It's a quarter past three . +I would like to buy some local handcrafts as gifts to my friends and relatives . +There are many stores selling handcrafts in Paris . Our store is wellknown for vase , table wear and jewelry boxes . You can take your time and choose whatever you like . +Well , the tapestry is delicate and beautiful . +You have made an excellent choice , it is our newcomer . The tapestry is on hot sell with the design and quality . The design on it is traditional Paris architecture . +How much is it ? +100 frances . +Mmm , it is reasonable . Look at this set of table wear , it is so beautiful ! +We have a piece of table clothing to go with it .

Do you like these candles ? They are on sale now . +All right . I will take one . +It's so boring . +Don't you like it ? +I don't . Is there anything worth watching on the other channel ? +I think it's a basketball match on channel 5 . +Do you mind if we switch over ? +Well , I'd rather see a movie . +What's the movie ? +' Star war ' . +It must be interesting . +Yes , you're right . +Where can I get my baggage ? +Are you from a domestic flight or an international one ? +An international one from Seattle . +In that case , you should go to the baggage hall over there . +Oh yes , I see the sign , thank you . +Man ! That car almost hit me ! +Yeah , that was close . +Excuse me . +Yes ? +Could you tell me where the copy room is ? +Sure . You just walk down this hallway . The copy room is the second room on the right . +Doctor , save my baby , please +What symptoms does he have ? +He has had a fever for one day . Just now at home , he had febrile convulsions with teeth and fists clenched and eyes turned up . We were at a loss what to do . We called an ambulance and brought the baby here . +How long did the convulsion last ? +About 3 minutes . +Does he have any other complaints ? +Three days ago , he began to cough , sneeze and have a running nose . Yesterday , he began to have a fever . +Have you taken his temperature ? +It was 38 ° C this morning and it was 39 ° C just now . +Let me examine him to see if there is any rash . No rash . +Is it serious ? Is it meningitis ? +No , it is not meningitis . Just a high fever and convulsions , which results from a virus upper respiratory tract inflection . +Does he have to be admitted to hospital ? +No . No need for admission . I'll give the baby analgia nose drops to bring down the temperature first . Then I will give you a prescription . The pink tablets are used for his fever . When his temperature is over 38 ° C , give him one tablet . The other tablets are sedatives for his convulsions . The white liquid is for the cold . Give the baby plenty of water to drink . +Thank you very much , doctor . +Jack ! Do you want to see a picture of my new puppy ? +Sure . I thought people only showed off pictures of their new babies , not new pets ! +Well , this is my new baby . He ’ s just as much trouble . That ’ s for sure ! But , he ’ s a lot of fun ! +I see what you mean . He ’ s really cute . How old is he ? +Thank you for organizing this great baby shower for me ! I ’ Ve always been to baby showers but never actually had one held for me ! Let ’ s get started ! +Ok , let ’ s start opening some presents ! +Oh look ! What a great little bib for the baby ! This will definitely come in handy ! Oh wow , you also got me a stroller ! That ’ s so great ! Thank you ! +This next one is from Betty . +A highchair and car seat ! Wow Betty , thank you so much ! I really appreciate it ! +One more from Carla . +A playpen and crib ! Thanks Carla ! This is just what I needed ! +OK , that ’ s all of them . No more gifts . Now who wants to guess when the baby is due ? +Umm . I think my water just broke ! Get me to a hospital ! +Wow , this is amazing . I'm glad we've come here . So cool . +I always love skiing . You know , it's a cool game for cool people . Stay with me and you will be cool , too . +Hey , look over there . It seems that there is something interesting going on . Let's go and have a look . +Sure . It's probably the skiing show . Adam told me there were many skiing clubs whose members put on shows to attract more visitors . +See that . It's so dangerous . My mom would never allow me to do that . +Hey , don't be so pathetic . It's a maximal sports show . What else can they do to attract more visitors ? Stop all this fuss and enjoy the show . +You are right . But what if the avalanche happened ? +They are all very experienced and great skiers . So I suppose the chance for them to be buried by an avalanche is slim . +Anyway , the show is breathtaking . By the way , where did they get so much snow in here ? +Don't you know that ? Are you kidding me ? +Hey , not everyone is as lucky as you to have a father who is a scientist . +Sorry . Well , they have the most advanced snowmaking machine . +Do you think the snowmaking may cause pollution ? +It's possible . But the boss here said they were doing whatever they can . +It's a good thing . OK , let's go skiing . +Here we go . +Would you like a smoking or non-smoking room ? +Non-smoking , please . +Good morning ! May I help you ? +Yes . My wife and I are interested in renting a house for the summer . +Do you want a furnished house or an unfurnished one ? +Furnished . +Very well . How long do you want the house ? All summer ? +No , not all summer . Just for six weeks . +I'm afraid I can only rent it for two months . +My holiday is only six weeks , but I think my brother and his family would take it for the other two weeks.Is the house in good condition ? +Yes , it is . It was just painted and it has all the modern conveniences . +Hello . Capital Hotel . May I help you ? +Yes , unlikely my flight will be 2 hours due to the fog .

Can you give us your personal assessment of the situation of the global economy ? +As you know , we are in a very special time . This is a very hard time for many countries ' economics , both developed and developing . I think the current economic situation could be described as synchronized slowdown of major economies . +What is the direct impact of the terrorist attack upon your country's economy ? +Once the US economy is in trouble due to the terrorist attack , the impact could be quickly felt in the rest of the world . +What challenges is your country's economy facing at the moment ? +We do face a lot of challenges because there is still much uncertainty about the world economy .

They are anyway in charge of the office electronic equipment . +What should I do to prepare for a job interview ? +An understanding of the basic workings of a company and the services or goods it provides is essential . Do you have that ? +Sort of , but I could know more , I guess . +With that understanding , you can figure out what your company is looking for in terms of basic attitude . Right ? +I think that they are a very formal company . +What you wear is important . So keep in mind what is suitable for the company and type of work you will be doing . Need help ? +I need a lot of help in this area . +In addition to clothes we need to think about other basics , OK ? +Yes , what else should we think of ? +Be prompt .

I'll take that one then . +Alright . How many pieces of luggage are you checking in ? +I like to travel light so I just have this one . +If that's your only piece of luggage , it is small enough to carry on with you . Would you like to do that so you don't have to wait in luggage reclaim once you arrive ? +Yes , please . That's a fantastic idea . Which gate do I need to go to ? +You're here a bit early , so check the departure screens in the waiting area in about a half hour . Here's your boarding pass . Enjoy your flight ! +All right . I want to bring everybody in on this project . When can we start working on this ? +Well , we could probably get started with a strategy meeting tomorrow morning at 8 +I tell you what , 800 is no good for me , but why don ’ t you guys get started and I ’ ll come by at around 8 +That ’ s fine with me . How much time are we going to have to work on this ? +I need a pan . +Okay . Do you have a particular size in mind ? +Well , the bigger the better , I think . +Look at this one .

What's up ? +I got stuck in a traffic jam . +Hurry up , the show is about to start . +It looks like you're very interested in the circus . +Yes , I love to see the animal show . +I have never seen those before , but since you're so excited it should be good . +I'm sure you'll love it . +Okay , I will go and get some popcorn first . +May I have a cookie ? +Help yourself . +What's the matter ? +Checking out , please . +Can I have your keys , please ? Thank you . Here's your statement . +Excuse me . What are these charges ? +Oh , these are the phone charges and these are for something from the bar . +Wait a minute . I made a phone call , but I never made a connection . +I know , sir . Those aren't telephone company charges . Those are hotel charges . +Isn't that a bit excessive ? +I'm sorry , sir . It's our policy . +OK . Here is the money . +Thank you . Welcome to our hotel again . +Can I help you , sir ? +Yes , I'd like to look at some suits . +Oh , this way please . What size do you wear ? +Size 41 . I want something in dark flannel . +How about this one ? +It feels all right . But if it were a darker color , I'd like it better . This seems too light for winter . Do you think you could get me one ? +All right . I'll show you something darker . Do you like this one ? +It looks good . But can I try it on ? +Of course . Let me help you . +Thanks . It's comfortable . Well , how much is it , please ? +$ 280 . +Ok . I'll take it . Here's the money . +Mike , you're seventeen years old , right ? +Yeah , Why ? +You look quite mature beside your cousin who is eighteen . +You can bet on that . +Come in and sit down . +Thanks , Mr . Liang . +Among all the assistants , I think you're on top of it . Based on the annual evaluation , the board of directors decided to give you a bonus . +Really ? I am too happy . +I've been reviewing your work over the past few months . Thanks to your excellent work , we benefit much from your project . And you should get the perfect attendance award too . +Thanks for your trust . Owing to my colleagues ' help , I've successfully completed my task . +You are very modest and diligent . The distribution of bonus derived from the performance evaluation . You deserve it . +Thank you very much . I will redouble my efforts in the future . +Donna ! How are you ? It's good to hear your voice . +Thank you . Jack , it's always a pleasure doing business with you . +So how are things in the land of the free and the home of brave ? +Great ! And , how are things in your neck of the woods ? +Things are so great here . I almost smiled myself to death last week . One of my coworkers had to give me CPR . +Oh.Jack , I have missed your sense of humor.Ha ha ha ! Nobody else sees things quite like you do.It ' s your gift . +Or a curse . +Nope , it's a gift.Anyway , we need some more of those mid-range speakers you tricked me into buying last time . +That , my dear , was classic sales technique delivered by a professional . +Are you still gouging your customers the same price per unit ? +Heck no , we doubled the price , but because it's you , I'll let you have'em at 50 off . +You silver-tongued devil . Can't you ever just answer a question with a simple yes or no ? +I could , but where's the fun in that ? +Hi . I ’ m here for flight 514 returning to Beijing but the board shows there is a delay.How long of a delay is expected ? +So far it looks like we will be leaving two hours late , but keep checking the departing flights status board just in case . +Do you think it ’ s safe to leave to get a quick bite ? +I think you should stay in the airport . Even though the delay is expected to be two hours , the flight departure could be announced any minute . Who knows ? +What seems to be the problem ? +It seems there are some loose bolts on one of the wings . It happens all the time . No need to worry . +Umm ... You know ... Actually I was thinking of trying another airline . No need to hold my seat . +I need to go to the ATM . +So , why don ’ t you ? +I have no idea how to use the ATM . +What do you mean ? +This will be my first time using an ATM . +I can help you with that . +Explain to me how to use it . +Just put your card into the machine . +Now what do I do ? +Then you need to type in your PIN . +Now what ? +Just click on one of the choices they give you , and that ’ s it . +Would you like something to drink ? +Yes please . Do you have any teas ? +Of course we have lots of teas ? +What do you recommend ? +What about a green tea or perhaps a jasmine tea ? +What ’ s this one ? +That ’ s Oolong tea – it ’ s a Cantonese tea . +Ok , I ’ ll try that . +May , is this the Hall of Ancient China ? +Yes . Look at these historical relics here , amazing ! +Why are they all in glass boxes ? +For protection . Some relics will turn to dust if exposed to air . +So there isn't air in the glass boxes ? +No , there isn't . They are all vacuumed . +I wonder how old these things are , thousands of years ? +Yeah , they all come from a very ancient time . +Hey , look at the three-leg cup . I've seen it on TV . +The bronze cup was made 4,000 years ago . It's priceless ! +Yeah , it has no value at all . Who will use this cup today ? +Danny , priceless means so valuable that you can't put a price on it . +Oh , it does ? +I am so worried about this English contest . I have butterflies in my stomach now ! +I have confidence in you . Believe in yourself . +What would you like on your pizzas ? +We want one vegetarian supreme and one double pepperoni . +Would you like anything to drink with that ? For $ 1.50 , you can get a two-liter bottle of Coke . +No , thanks . +All right . That'll be $ 12.50 . Your pizzas will be there in 30 minutes . +Thanks . +We are redecorating and I'm going to add some things . +Well , I'll be glad to help you out . We can deliver what you need to your office . +Shall we meet at 1:15 this Thursday ? We definitely need some new filing cabinets and at least one desk unit . +Fine , I'll bring both our office furniture and equipment catalogs on Thursday . +Can you tell me the way to library ? +Sure , turn left at the next crossing . +Is it on Xinhua street ? +Yes . You can't miss it . +Comfort Inn , may I help you ? +I ’ m looking for a hotel near the convention center . +You ’ re in luck ! We ’ re just a two-minute drive from there . Would you like to make a reservation ? +Not just yet . I have one or two questions . How much for a single ? +During the peak season , a single room goes for 50 dollars on a night . But we ’ Ve got a Single Super Saver Special going on right now – only $ 30 a night . And we ’ Ve also extended our checkout time 00 in +That ’ s a good deal . Since this is a working trip , I wonder if you have meeting rooms where I can get together with some clients . +Yes , we have five meeting rooms , of various sizes . We can accommodate large meetings and small , informal gatherings as well . Of course , if you have many small meeting , you might consider checking +That sounds great . Do you accept checks ? +I ’ m sorry , sir , we don ’ t . But we do accept all major credit cards . +I am sorry to trouble you , but there's a lot of noise in the next room . +Oh , is there ? Which room is it ? +It's . I think , neighbours on the right . +You mean the room thirteen-thirteen ? +I'm not sure , but I think so . I'm very exhausted , but I can't sleep . +All right , ma'am . I'll check and tell them to be quiet . +If next room is still noisy , could you give me a different room , please ? +Have you ever been to Xi ’ an ? +Yes , I ’ Ve been there several times on business trips . But I have never really seen the terra-cotta warriors as it is outside the city . +I ’ Ve heard many people saying that it is a place worth touring . I really want to see the old walls and terra-cotta warriors one day . Of course I won ’ t miss the local food either . You know , the sites interests a food in scenery , food is a key factor when visiting a place . +I agree . As long as the food is not too bizarre once I saw some people eating insects . That is frightening . +Sure it is . Is it convenient to get there by plane ? +Well , the airport is quite far from the downtown area , but it is still more convenient than taking the train . +A ticket to London , please . +A cheap day return ticket ? +Yes , including London Tube . +That'll be twelve pounds . +Doctor , what is the best way to stay healthy ? +Having a good diet is probably the most important thing . +It is very confusing to know what to eat . +You need plenty of fruits and vegetables , small amounts of protein , and whole grains . +Are there certain things that I should avoid ? +You shouldn ’ t consume too much sugar or caffeine . Also , watch your intake of fatty food . +After watching my diet , what else should I do ? +You need to stop smoking , and make sure that you get 30 minutes of exercise every day . +Can I have a glass of wine now and then ? +As long as you don ’ t overdo it , a glass of wine a day should be OK . +Darling , I am back . What are you doing ? +I am washing clothes . Are you hungry now ? Wait for a moment , I'll cook dinner for you . ( Steven bends his brows ) +B , should we get a maid ? +I can do all the housework . We don't need a maid . +You have worked very hard in the office . If we can get someone to help you , you can have more rest . +We really don't need to . +You are a good wife , Julia . But you must take care of yourself . +Give me some time to think about it . +Can I reserve a room from the 13th to the 18th ? +Certainly . How do you like your room ? +I'd like a suite . What's the rate ? +$ 40 per night . +Is there anything I can do for you ? +Excuse me , can I change my order ? I am afraid I don't have so much time to enjoy my dinner . +I am sorry , sir . Your fish will be ready in five minutes so you can't change it . +That's all right . +Have you graduated now ? +Yes . I graduated this past June . +Which university did you graduate from ? +Guangzhou University . +What degree did you receive ? +I received a bachelor's degree in Economics . +What courses did you take in college ? +My major courses were Microeconomics , Macroeconomics , International Trade , International Finance , World Economy , Psychology and Business English +Why did you choose to study Economics ? +Because I was quite interested in Economics then . +Can you speak other languages except English ? +I can also speak a little Japanese . +I am very satisfied with your answers . +Thank you very much . +Once you arrive at the American airport , please call me . +OK , don ’ t worry about it . I will . +Take care of yourself . +Sorry , Mary , I can't make it in time for dinner . +Okay , Bob , when will I see you ? +Maybe I will be around later . +Okay , I'll see you later . +I am sorry , sir . I have broken the reading lamp in my room . +Well , sir . May I have your room number ? +503 . I would like to pay for it . +Please fill out the form first . +OK , can you bring me a new one ? +Of course . +Excuse me . I need to refill this prescription . +It says on the bottle here that you can have two refills . +Yes , I need to refill it today . +Alright . I'm sorry , Miss . According to our file , this prescription has already been refilled twice . +I was worried about that . I couldn't remember if I had it refilled twice yet or not . +Well , it looks like you have.You will need to see your doctor to get a new prescription . +Listen . This is an emergency . I tried to call my doctor , but he is out of town . So I can't see him in time . I need this medicine . It is for skin condition . I've run out.Can you just refill it once more ? +I'm sorry , Miss . We can't do it . We must follow the prescription.And this prescription has run out . +But I need it . Please . Refill it for me just this once . I can go to the doctor around ten days from now . Then I'll have another prescription . +Miss , I understand your problem.But it is against the law for us to sell certain medicines without a prescription.It ' s the law . I can't do anything about it.We never sell medicine unless we have a proper prescription . Never . +But I have a prescription . I just need more of it . +A prescription must be valid . It cannot be an expired prescription . I'm sorry , Miss . It's the law.You will have to find another doctor who will prescribe this for you . +Oh , it will be so expensive ! I have a special medical plan , and I can only see one doctor.It will cost me a lot of money to see another doctor . +Miss , I just can't help you on this . I'm a pharmacist , not a doctor . And there are other customers I need to help now . I know it is frustrating when this happens.But there is nothing I can do about it . I'm sorry . +This is ridiculous ! In Taiwan , it is much easier to get medicine when I need it . +Maybe that's true . I don't know.But I'm sure in Taiwan you have prescriptions too . +What are you doing ? +I ’ m trying to put the vase on the shelf . +Let regive you a hand . +No , thank you . I can manage it , I think . +There are so many record players here . That is hard to choose . +Look at this one . It has a radio and cassette player and built in speakers . +I'd rather get one with separated speakers.They give a clear sound . +Yes , but we shouldn't get any thing too big . Remember it has to fit in with our living room furniture . +That's right . Now this one looks alright ? It's a detached or do you prefer this one ? It's Sony . +Let's ask the salesmen for a demonstration . +Ahhchooo ! +You've been sneezing a lot lately . Are you sick or something ? +No . Every spring time around April , I'm stricken with allergies . +I never have seasonal allergies . +Consider yourself lucky . +What are all the symptoms ? +Well , as you just saw , I sneeze a lot . Also , my nose becomes very runny , my throat sometimes itches , and my eyes start to water . +That doesn't sound good . +No , it's not . So you don't have any type of allergies ? +Well , I have a severe allergic reaction to alcohol . It runs in the family . +Everyone to some extent is allergic to alcohol . +I get it pretty bad . My whole face turns red , including my ears . My eyes become bloodshot , and I start to itch all over my body . +That's pretty bad . +But that doesn't stop me from drinking . Ahahah . +Let's have a look at the map first . +All right . Wukesong stop is quite a few stops from here . +Let's buy some tickets . +The train is coming . There are a lot of people waiting here . let's stand in a better position to get on the train +Well , it's not as crowded as we expected , is it ? +No , but it will be soon . Look , there're two empty seats over there . Let's get them . +What do you do ? +I'm an apprentice with a local engineering firm . My training lasts for two years . Two days a week I study Engineering at a local college . If I pass all my exams , I hope the company will take me on as an engineer . +I want to keep a pet , but I don't know which one to buy ? +Dogs are nice , but they are really energetic , and you need to make sure they get enough exercise every day . +Having a dog would probably be too much work for me , then . +What about cats ? They are more independent . +Actually , I was thinking of something a little more exotic . I don't want a common pet like a dog or a cat . +How about a lizard ? Are lizards more along the lines of what you were thinking of getting ? +Yeah , are they easy to look after ? +Yeah , they are pretty low-maintenance ; they eat almost anything . +Can I be of any service to you ? +I've been told that Chinese arts and crafts are famous for their excellent workmanship . We'd like to take some home . What would you recommend ? +There are over a thousands kinds of articles in our shop.For example , there is tricolored pottery originating in the Tang Dynasty , embroidery , batik , jade carving , just to name a few.Do you have anything in mind ? +No , not really.But I think it should be something distinctively Chinese . And easy to carry . +I would suggest you buy paper-cuts , embroidery and batik.They are very easy to carry . +So , we'd like to see some embroidery . +Hey , Mary . We're back . Have you eaten yet ? +I had some bread for breakfast . +Let's go out for brunch . +Brunch ? +It is a meal that combines breakfast and lunch . On Sundays , many Americans sleep late and go out for brunch . Those who go to church without having breakfast have brunch also . +Actually , many Taiwanese wake up late on Sunday mornings , too . It may be a good idea for them to eat brunch instead of eating breakfast and lunch . +Hi , my name is Sovia.What ’ s your name ? +My name is Jeff . +What do you do ? +I ’ m a podiatrist . What about you ? +I ’ m a nurse.What do you do in your free time ? +I like to play piano , go bowling and chat with my friends.And you ? +I like to hang out with my friends , play games and go swimming . +Would you like to go out some time ? +Sure , that ’ d be great.Where would you like to go ? +Anywhere with you . +Aren ’ t you sweet . +Oh , I'm starving . I'd like to try some real Chinese cuisine . What would you recommend , waiter ? +Well , it depends . You see , there are eight famous Chinese for instance , the Sichuan cuisine , and the Hunan cuisine . +They are both spicy hot , I've heard . +That's right . If you like hot dishes , you could try some . +They might be too hot for me . +Then there's the Cantonese cuisine and the Kiangsu cuisine . Most southerners like them . +What about any special Beijing dishes ? +There's the Beijing roast duck . +Oh , yes . I've heard a lot about it . I'd like very much to try it . Where can I find it ? +You can find it in most restaurants , but the best place is certainly Quanjude Restaurant . +Is it near here ? +Not too near but not too far either . A taxi will take you there in 15 minutes , If the traffic is not too bad , I mean . +Well , thank you for your information . But what is the name of that restaurant again ? +Let me write it down on this slip of paper for you . You can show it to the taxi-driver . +That's very kind of you . Thanks a lot . +hi , Isaiah . How are you ? +I ’ m well . And you ? +fine . How ’ s your job going ? +I don ’ t know if I told you or not , but I decided to start my own business . +really ? That ’ s fantastic . What kind of business is it ? +I ’ Ve started an investment banking firm with some of my old colleagues from Goldman Sachs . +how ’ s it going ? +it started off a bit slow , but now , business is really booming ! +that ’ s such great news . I ’ m really happy for you ! Where is your office located ? +our headoffice is here in Beijing , but we ’ re planning on opening up two more offices soon . +where will those be located ? +if all goes well , we ’ ll open one up in Hong Kong in April and another one in Singapore in October . +when will you find out ? +we ’ re negotiating the final details of the leasing contracts tomorrow . +well , good luck . I hope it all goes well for you tomorrow ! +thanks ! +Ant Shirley , it's being years since we last met . How were you doing in the passing years ? +Pretty well . What about you ? +Fine . Where are the other guys ? +It's a bit disappointing that they are all out for a movie . +Bad timing . I want to see them so much . How are they ? +Not bad . I heard you are going to graduate this coming summer , right ? +Yes , that's why I'm here . I'm thinking about buying a second-hand apartment . +Did you go to a real estate agent ? +No , that will be too expensive . +That's true . By the way , what kind of apartment are you looking for ? +My first job's salary will be a bit low . So the cheaper the better . Just one I can afford . +Sure . I'll try my best to find a satisfying one for you . +I'll appreciate it so much . +Good afternoon . +My goodness ! It ’ s the afternoon ? Doesn ’ t the time fly ! Do come in and sit down . +Thank you . +What ’ s the time ? My watch has stopped . +It ’ s half past twelve . +When do you have lunch ? +From one to two . +What do you normally eat ? +We usually go to the cafeteria . +Oh , it ’ s time to have lunch now . +let ’ s go together . +Merry Christmas , Bill . +Merry Christmas , Jina . +What are you doing there on the computer ? +Come have a look , I received many beautiful e-cards . They are from my friends , all over the world . Christmas wishes for all my friends . +That's pretty interesting . Did you get one from Haven ? The reason I ask is that I am looking for her number . +Sorry , I don't have it . But I do have her Email . You want me to sent it to you ? +Yeah , that would be great . Thanks . +No worries . I just for her card . And you can get her from Email . I would really like to talk to her again . I kind of miss her a little this days . +Thanks million . +My pleasure . +There are so many eating utensils on the table . Which ones do I use first ? +Use them from the outside in . +I see . A set for appetizers and another for the main course . +Right . We do the same thing at home . Don't you remember ? +Oh yeah . The big napkin goes on my lap . +Let's look at our menus . +Cindy , help me order because I'm still not very familiar with American cooking . +Well , we order appetizers first and then entrees . +It was nice talking to you . +Why are you trying to rush me off the phone ? +I really have to go . +Why ? I still wanted to talk to you . +I have things to do . +Like what ? +Don't be nosey . +I'm not . I just want to know . +Well , it's really none of your business . +That's harsh . +I'm sorry , but I have to go . +Fine . +Mom , will you have time to help me with my homework today ? +Sorry , I won't . I'll be working against the clock to finish my presentation . +Well , Peter , you have to do better than that next time , won ’ t you ? +Have I really got to do those exams again , Dad ? +Of course , you have . You must try harder this time . +And must I go back to school ? +No , you needn ’ t do that . You ’ d better get a part-time job somewhere and go to evening classes . +But Dad , I should be working full-time at my age . I ’ m nearly 17 . +You ought to have worked harder then you wouldn ’ t have failed your exams . You have to take a job and study . +What else I ’ Ve got to do ? Join the army ? +Who knows ! That might come to later . +How do you do ? +How do you do ? +My name is Wang Liang , I ’ m from Beijing . Where do you come from ? +I come from the city of Tangshan in Hebes Province . +You're from Tangshan ? I can't believe my ears . I was also born in Tangshan , but I was brought up in Beijing . +Really ? It's nice to meet you . How long have you been with this company ? +Just over 4 years now . Since this is your first day here , I'm sure you don't really know too much yet . Let me show you around , so you can introduce yourself to everyone . +Oh , Thank you very much ! +Hello , Parker . How's everything ? +Can't complain . And you ? +Business is booming . I understand you want to meet up with me next week . How's your schedule look ? +Let me see . I can come out and see you first thing Wednesday . +Great . +I like to open up a savings account please . +O . K . We offer a few different kinds . +I want the one with the highest interest rate . +That would be our Saver's Plus account . +4.5 % , that's good . How much money do I have to keep in it to get that rate ? +You have to maintain a balance of $ 10,000 in the account or the rate drops to 3 % . +All right . I ’ ll open one of those . +Just fill out these forms , and I ’ ll be with you in one second . +Thanks . +Hi , where can I find a cheap cashmere sweater ? +How about an outlet ? +Great idea ! +Outlets give good deals . +Thank you so much . +You're welcome . +I have difficulty with this form . Will you please explain it to me ? +Actually there is a sample over there . But if you still have a problem , let me know . +Oh , that's great . Thank you very much . +Do you develop films here ? +Yes , we shall . What size do you like ? +Well , the 4 x 6 is fine . +Which do you prefer , color or black and white ? +The last one is black and white , all the rest should need color . +OK . +I hope they will come out well . When should I pick them up ? +They will be ready at noon tomorrow . Each negative develops one print , right ? +Yes , it is . And develop them as glossy as possible . +No problem . Do you need another film ? +Yes , a roll of Kodak film please . +It is totally $ 20 including the deposit for films . +How come it is slow as a snail today ? +You mean the network connection ? +Yes , I wanted to look for some information on the company page just now . It took me almost one minute to open it . Then there is no response for any click . +I have the same question . I can ’ t send out mails . We ’ d better call the IT department and ask them to check it immediately . +Ok . +I need help . I think my arm is broken . +Alright . Have you been to this hospital before ? +No , I haven't . I need help quick . It hurts really badly . +I understand . It's good you came to the emergency room . +Let me see a doctor . +I'm sorry , sir . You will need to wait at least a short time.We are very busy tonight . There was a big car accident on Highway 106 . +I thought this was the emergency room . +It is . But unless you are critically injured , you still need to wait.You aren't bleeding , are you ? +No . Only a little . I fell off my porch . +Oh , that's terrible . Is it your right arm or your left arm ? +My left arm . +Can you fill out this form then ? +No , I can't . I'm left-handed . +That's very inconvenient for you then.You ' ll probably have a cast on your left arm . +Yes . But why do I have to fill out a form anyway ? This is the emergency room . +Yes , it is . But even in emergency rooms there is some paperwork to be done.Have you ever been in an emergency room before ? +No . Just let me see a doctor . I'm worried about my arm . +Be brave , sir . It won't be long . I will fill out the form for you . What is your name ? +Steve Schliessman . S C H L I E S S M A N . +Alright Steve .

In this cafe ? How can you do that ? +This cafe offers a wireless internet connection . That means I can get on the net for free while I ’ m here . Of course , I have to buy a cup of coffee ! +That ’ s great . Can you do it anywhere ? +No . you can only do it when the cafe offers a wireless connection . There are only about 10 or 12 places that offer it in this city . +So , what programs do you have on your laptop ? +I ’ Ve got all the usual ones for word processing and then I have a few for creating and editing photographs . +I know you are keen on photography . It ’ s very useful for you to be able to download photos from your digital camera . Then you attach the picture files to emails and send them to anyone , anywhere , at a +It ’ s wonderful , isn ’ t it ? Would you like to see some photos that I took recently ? +What shall we do today ? +We'd better stay in the hotel , because the tour will begin tomorrow . +Let's go out for some exercise , shall we ? +What an excellent idea ! +Shall we do some jogging ? +OK . +I feel well now . +Yes , some exercise is necessary for us . +Quite right . +I was wondering if you need any help on your new project . +Sure !

Have a great day ! +Congratulations , Francis . Your hard working finally pays off . I am so happy for your promotion . +Thanks , Monica . Without support from you and other colleagues , I would not have made it . +I hope I could get promoted some day . Tell me about your experience , ok ? +Well , just saying that you wanted to get promoted is not enough , you need to write down your desirable position and an available plan for achieving that adjective . Don ’ t be afraid of taking challenging . They might be opportunities and failing is not fatal . You learn more from that actually . Sometimes , you need to fail to be successful . +How do you think if I volunteer for some work ? +I think it is a smart idea . Our boss always likes it when employees take initiatives . +Taxi ! +Yes , sir . Where to ? +The city square , please . +Are you in a hurry ? +Yes , I have to be there to meet a friend at 5 thirty pm . So we're sure we can get there on time ? +I'm afraid not , sir . Generally we can , but you know how it is in the rush hour now . +I see . Here's the extra 5 $ for you if you can get me there on time . +All right . I'll do my best . +Oh.we made it . Thank you . How much do I own you ? +The reading on the kilometer is 12 $ . +Here's the money , keep the changes , please . +Do you need a receipt ? +No , thank you . +Janice , I can't find the document I was working on last month . Can you help me to look for it ? +Susan , I'm sorry . Did you look up those files I requested ? +Yes , but I still can not find it . Maybe it is in this cabinet . +I couldn't find the files you request , even though I checked all the cross-references . I don't think it's there . +I am sure that document was filed . +Well , let me check again under a different heading . +Good idea !

I usually only have enough time to grab a sandwich and a cup of coffee for lunch . +And what about dinner ? +Sometimes I'm too tired to eat anything at all . +That's not good . You don't have a well-balanced diet .

He showed me one that he really liked . +I bet you had to drag him away . +He wanted to take it home yesterday . +I wonder what he'll name it . +Hello . I want to send the computer to my sister in Shanghai by logistics transport . +OK . Is it in the box ? May I see it ? +Yes . This is the computer and this is the keyboard and the monitor . +Is there anything else ? +There are a mouse and a camera . +Is that all ? +Yes . How much is it to send these things to Shanghai by regular delivery ? +It depends on the weight of these things . Generally speaking , we will charge you ten yuan for one kilogram . +I see . Can you weigh them for me , please ? +Please go over there to weigh them . +OK . See you later . +what happened ? Why didn't he win ? +didn't you hear ? He was disqualified . +how did that happen ? He's so talented ! I thought he had a great chance of winning a gold medal ! +if he didn't have any drug problems , he would have won . +what ? What kind of drugs was he using ? +he was taking steroids to make him stronger and faster . +I thought that all athletes were supposed to be regularly tested for drugs . +they are . The reason why they didn't disqualify him until after the race is because the results from the text only came back afterwards . +that's so disappointing . I don't know why top athletes would feel the need to take drugs . +I don't think it's right , but I can understand why they might . Imagine how much pressure there would be to win for your country ! +regardless of how much pressure you're under , there's never a good reason to take drugs . +I agree . Hopefully with the new regulations , fewer athletes will try to cheat with drugs . +let's hope so . +I need to use the ATM . +What ’ s stopping you ? +I ’ m not sure how . +I don ’ t understand . +I ’ Ve never used one before . +I can help you figure it out . +What do I have to do ? +Slide your card into the machine . +Then what ? +You need to type your PIN in . +What do I have to do next ? +Click on whichever option you want , and you ’ re done . +What are you doing ? Checking the " to do " list for the wedding ? +Yep . There's still so much to do ! +So let's start by checking off what we've already done . +Did you reconfirm the plane reservations for all the Taiwanese guests ? +Not yet , I was busy getting that videographer who films stuff for the Net . +Cool ! I can't believe he agreed to go all the way to Dallas with us ! +Hey ! We're paying for his ticket ! +It is my first time coming to China . I want to buy something unique of China to my friends as gifts . +We have a great variety of Chinese antiques and porcelain . Do you like them ? +Yes , I love them , but they are fragile . It is not convenient to take them . +You are right . How about paintings and embroidered handkerchiefs ? +Sounds good . May I have a look ? +Of course . These paintings have many designs , such as animals , flowers , landscape , aquatics and so on . +They are beautiful , but I can't understand the connotation in them . Let me see the handkerchiefs . +All right . Chinese embroidery is one traditional art with elaborate design and high quality . +Oh , I like the bamboo design . What is this ? +This is a series of animals , called Chinese zodiac . +Good . So I will take three series and five bamboo ones . +OK , I will wrap them for you . +Can you make out what he's saying ? +No , it's too loud in here . +Excuse me . +Yes ? +Can you tell me the way to the Peak Tram , please ? +Certainly .

That place is too ritzy for lunch . +True . ok Let's go to Grumose ? +Same thing , meals there all coarsen arm and leg . +I guess it is a little pricy . +Let's stop it at Multicolor for a quick lunch .. +That will be Ok . Come on , I can't wait to chow down . +That was a great lunch , the food was good , but the service was lousy . +Is that why you stiffed the waiter ? +You got it . All right , Let's go back to school . +Good morning , sir . +Good morning . I'd like a business suit made with this material . +Do you have a particular style in mind ? +The kind that never goes out of fashion , I guess . +I think you should realize that even the most conservative style changes . +I'm sure you're right . I just dread the idea of making a new suit every year . +The changes are usually not that dramatic . We just got some pictures of the latest fashion . Would you like to take a look ? +Good . I think I'll choose this single breasted one . When can I get it ? +Next Friday . +Thank you . +Oh , gosh ! I feel everything around me is against me . +Don't take it too hard . There are some tips you should know in job-hunting of 2010 . +Well , I am all ears . Maybe they are helpful . +Firstly , you must always show your best to the interviewer . And secondly , try to avoid spamming through e-mails , because this will make the reader go crazy . The last but not the least , there is no substitute for pounding the pavement in such a digital age . +I understand what you mean , and I will not upset myself . Face it . +Good luck to us . +Look , Mary ! There are so many people over there ! +Oh , I remember , there is a job fair in the personnel market . +I have never been to the personnel market . +Really ? I have been there several times . +Are there many employers ? +Yes . The personnel market is a place specially for job-hunters and employers . +So there will be many large companies in the personnel market , right ? +Yes , there are many famous corporations . +When will there be a job fair ? +Every Saturday and Sunday +Do I need to pay to go into the personnel market ? +No , it's free . +How about going there to have a look now ? +OK , let's go . +Could you show me the T-shirt on the model ? +Here you are . We have three different colors , white , blue and pink . +What's the price ? +$ 12 . +Can you make it any cheaper ? +It is cheap . +I'll take it if you give me a discount . +$ 10 . That's the best I can do . +OK . I'll take the blue one . +Hello , again . Did you discuss everything with your colleagues ? +Yes , yes . It seems that everything is settled . +Have you decided how you would like the salaries paid ? +We have discussed it and decided that at the moment we would like the salaries to be paid into the employees's accounts , whether they are currently with this bank or not . +That's not a problem . +Of course , if we are happy with the service after the initial period we will recommend all employees either transfer their accounts to this bank , or open new accounts with you . +Thank you very much . We always welcome new customers . +I think this spring is a good time for us to start looking . +We should plan to move out of here before July . I'm tired of living in apartments . +I know , dear . I am too . But we've just been too busy to look for a house . +We need to find a good realtor . +Not necessarily . If we use a realtor to find a house , it will be more expensive . +What do you mean ? +Realtors always get a commission.If the realtor helps us find something , we have to pay him . +But doesn't a realtor help with the contract ? I thought they take care of all the legal troubles . +Yes , that's often true . But you have to pay them . +I still think we should have a realtor.We ' re new in this country . We don't know all the laws of buying a house.And also , the realtor will inspect the house.He can tell us if the house has +Of course we need a home inspector.But we can hire an inspector on our own.And as for the legal problems , I have friends . They can help us . +So how can we find a house if we don't have a realtor ? +It takes a little more time . We have to check the ads in the paper.Probably also there are special real estate magazines with ads.Then we have to drive to the homes and look at them . +And doesn't the person selling the house have a realtor ? +Sometimes they do , sometimes they don't . It's best to find someone who is selling by themselves . +Why ? +Because if the seller has a realtor , their price will be higher.He will have to pay a commission to the realtor . +Hmm . It all sounds very complicated . +It is . But buying a house is very important . So it takes time.That ' s why we haven't done it yet . It's very troublesome . +I want to look in the papers today . Maybe we can see something we like . +Alright . I'll buy a newspaper when I go to the drug store . +I'm calling about our appointment . I can't call on you this evening.My wife is terribly ill . +Sorry to hear that . +How about next week ? +Fine , we'll be expecting you then . +Which restaurant do you prefer ? +I'd like to taste Mexican food . +How about the one on Baker Street ? +Oh , I've never seen a better Mexican restaurant . +The numbers in this table don't seem to be in accord with reality . +I know , but these are the figures that we came up with . +Oh , so the zoo is over there .

How long will you be in Beijing ? +Probably another week . +Oh , I see . Well , I ’ ll give you my phone number and if you need a guide , please call me . +Thank you very much . That ’ s very kind . +Could you type up this document for me , Sandra ? +Sure , but I have to finish this report first . +Never mind . I'll do it . +Are you interested in mountaineering ? +Yes , in some sense . I should say I like mountain climbing , you know , because I'm not so professional . How about you +I'm the same with you , an amateur mountain climber . I went climbing in the Rocky Mountains with my friends last summer vacation . We spent two days in the mountains . +How did you spend the night there ? +We pitched a tent in the night , waiting for the sunrise . Wow ! It was too beautiful . +I had a similar experience , but that was on the top of Tasha Mountain in my country . +Tasha Mountain ? It's very famous in China , isn't ? +Yes . It is one of the Five Mountains . +I want to climb Tasha Mountain this summer vacation . Would you be my guide ? +I'd love to . +Sir , what's wrong with you ? +I have a spasm of nausea and dizziness . +Have you ever suffered from airsickness before ? You're probably airsick . +No , this is the first time on a plane . Maybe you are right .. Please get me some pills . +OK . I will get some for you . There's an airsickness bag behind the seat in front of you.Please wait me for a moment . ( Go away for a few minutes , and now she comes back . ) Here are two pills . And the water is in the glass too.Please take the pills with water . +Thank you very much . ( Take the pills . ) +Are you feeling better now ? +Much better now . Thanks again . +My pleasure . +Hi Bill , it ’ s Jane . +Jane , I ’ m on the other line , can you hang on for a second ? +Sure . +OK , I ’ ll be right back . +Have you decided what you'd like ? +Yes .

How much is a real sandalwood fan ? +The small ones are one hundred yuan for each . And the big ones are two hundred and thirty yuan . +I'll take two small ones and a big one . +What else are you interested in ? +I'm afraid not . +OK . Here you are . +Good morning.Mrs.Smith . +Good morning ! Can you help me , please ? I'm looking for some books for my mother . +Well , what kind of books does she like ? +She's very fond of detective stories ? +I see.Has she read any detective stories ? +Oh , yes ! +Do you know if she's read this one ? +I'm not sure , but she probably won't remember if she has ! She's very forgetful ! +Ah ! She has a bad memory.How old is she ? +She's eighty-seven . +I suggest you take this book.It ' s very exciting . +Thank you.That ' s a good idea.she likes exciting books.Can you suggest another one ? +Hey , Jimmy , you've been sitting in front of the TV all day . Anything interesting on TV ? +Not really . Quite boring right now , actually . Mostly infomercials and public service announcements . +Why don't you turn off the TV and get outside ? You need to get some fresh air . +I know , I know.But my favorite show is on in a couple of minutes . It's the series finals , and I wouldn't miss it for the world ! +Really ? What's the series about ? +Well , it's about how an immigrant girl achieve her dream in America . It's a sitcom but really quite smart and really funny . I think you'd like it . +It sounds interesting , but I am not a big fan of TV shows . They're time consuming and don't have much depth . +I believe some shows are quite informative and interesting . Take this show for example , it examines American xenophobia and how it might conflict with the American dream , with hilarious results . +Really ? that's interesting ! +Yeah.Oh , here it comes ! why don't we watch it together ? they are going to have a court debate in this episode . It should be good . +OK , I'll give it a go . +Hello , hot water overflowed from the bathtub . Would you help me ? +Would you turn off the tap ? +I did it . +Then will you put all the towels under the bathroom door . +Ok , I will . +I will have our housekeeper come right away . +I am sorry , I was too tired to fall asleep . +When you woke up , the water was coming out the tub ? +Right . Can I compensate for the damage with the travel accident insurance ? +Hi . I'm looking for a gift for my niece . +Well , little girls seem to love Barbie dolls . +That's perfect . I want to see one . +Here you are — she's called Digital Barbie . +Oh , I like Digital Barbie ! How much does she cost ? +This Barbie is only $ 29.95 . +That's perfect . Let me have her . +Very good . Is there anything else you would like ? +No , that'll do it for now . +Including tax , your total will be $ 32.42 . Cash or charge ? +Let me give you cash , please . +Here's your change and receipt . Thank you . +Please put your baggage on the counter and open it , let me have a look . +Yes , sir . Please examine it . +Anything subject to duty in your suitcase ? +No , sir . Nothing except my personal belongings , such as clothes , notebooks and some gifts . +Any cigarettes or liquor ? +I have cigarettes for my own use . +I think you'll have to pay some duty on these cigarettes because they exceed the quota . And this article is liable for duty . +How much duty should I pay ? +One hundred dollars . +Here is the money . +Just a moment . I'll make out your duty memo . ( Writing and giving the memo to Mr . Green ) Take it and pay the girl over there . +Thank you . +So that concludes the introduction . Now let's move to the first part of my talk , which is about 2006 fiscal year marketing plan . So first , right off the bat , When looking at the marketing plan , tell me some of the goals that we had set this year to begin with ... +We wanted to appeal to a younger set of consumers and also , in line with that goal , redo our image ... +That's correct . If you remember , we also set a goal to double distribution in overseas markets . Now , when looking at the data to evaluate whether or not we made our goals , there are three things to consider . First , the original condition of the market , second , our marketing numbers from the previous year , and third , our final sales figures for this year . Now I want to describe for you the second and third parts . If you look at the overhead , you'll see a graph ... The blue line represents our sales from the year 2005 , the red line is the sales in 2006 ... As you can see , our sales in 2005 were quite slow to start off with , but managed to make decent performance in the last part of the year . On the other hand , you can see this year's sales took off like a rocket . +Excuse me , sir , may I talk to you ? +Bill ! Sure , come on in . What can I do for you ? +Well sir , as you know , I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over ten years . +Yes . +I won ’ t beat around the bush . Sir , I would like a raise . I currently have three companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first . +A raise ? Son , I would love to give you a raise , but this is just not the right time . +I understand your position , and I know that the current economic downturn has had a negative impact on sales , but you must also take into consideration my hard work , pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over a decade . +Taking into account these factors , and considering I don ’ t want to start a brain drain , I ’ m willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra five days of vacation time . How does that sound ? +Great ! It ’ s a deal ! Thank you , sir ! +Before you go , just out of curiosity , what companies were after you ? +Oh , the electric company , gas company and water company ! +Are you going to vote on Tuesday ? +Of course . How about you ? +I ’ Ve already voted . +How ’ s that ? +I sent in an absentee ballot . +Why ? +I won ’ t be able to vote on Tuesday . +Why not ? +I have to work . +Why don ’ t you go to work late ? +I have important business to take care of that morning . +I see . +How would you describe your ideal job ? +I think the job should make use of the professional experience I have obtained , and offer me opportunity for advancement . +Why do you think you might like to work for our company ? +I feel my background and experience are a good fit for this position and I am very interested.What ' s more , your company is outstanding in this field . +What makes you think you would be a success in this position ? +My graduate school training combined with my experience as an intern should qualify me for this particular job . I am sure I will be successful . +How do you know about this company ? +Your company is very reputed in this city . I heard much praise to your company . +Did you see the picture of the guy on the front page of the newspaper this morning ? +No . I haven't had a chance to read the paper yet . +you've got to see it . It's an unbelievable picture ! +What's so interesting about it ? +Well , this guy fell asleep on the sofa and when he woke up , half his face had been bitten off ! +What ? How did that happen ? +They think his dog was trying to wake him up and couldn't , so ended up biting him in his face . +Wow . What does his look like now ? +It looks pretty frightening . He doesn't have any lips , so all you can see are his gums and teeth . Most of his nose and chin are missing too . +What did he look like before his dog bit his face off ? +He was actually quite handsome . What a shame . +What's he going to do now ? +It said that he's hoping to get a face transplant , but until then , he's looking forward to Halloween so he isn't the only one wearing a mask . +Excuse me . We're leaving today . I'd like to pay our bills now . +OK . By the way , I'd like to tell you that the check-out time is 12 +I see . +Have you used any hotel services this morning or had breakfast at the hotel dining room , Mr . Green ? +Yes , my friend and I just had breakfast at the dining room , but we didn't use any services . +How about the charge for the days you shared the room with your friend ? +Please add to my account . +The total for the eight days is five hundred sixty yuan . +OK . Here you are . +I'm not sure about how to operate the washer and dryer . +What's the problem ? +I need help turning them on . +You need change . +The machines take change ? +Yes .

valid criticism, but far from the deliberate distortion you make it out to be; rather, it is an example for how the facts can sometimes be easy to miss with Moore's fast pace editing. +Unfortunately, because the zooming is rather fast, it is easy to miss the rest of the sentence, so as you correctly note, some viewers got an incorrect impression. +"before he came to Flint" +The claims of

and it is surprising that his critics don't dwell on them longer. +In fact, Moore mentions several counter-examples, and more such counter-examples can indeed be cited. +You write: Bowling shows Moore casually buying ammunition at an Ontario Walmart. +If anything, it is his own failure that he did not clarify what he meant with "having a more mixed ethnicity". +Heston's answers in the interview were evasive and unhelpful. +It is not a flawless diamond -- the "48 hours" scene in particular suffers from bad editing, the statistics are suboptimal, and Heston gets a bit more bashing than he deserves. +Other than towards the NRA, the movie tries hard to avoid simplistic conclusions, and comes up with some thoughtful answers. +It is unlikely, however, that the unfair attacks against him will have much of an impact. +Critics like yourself claim that Moore has massively distorted evidence to support his point that Charlton Heston has effectively insulted the victims of the Columbine tragedy by holding a rally in Denver shortly afterwards. +Agree with the previous two comments. +It may also be that I remember the scene of their writing, which would have been in the old apartment,

+The Behavior +The following global variables will be used throughout the pseudocode, and are compiled here for ease of reference: +Science fiction writers have been anticipating humanoid androids

behaviors of the sterile workers may be divided into several subcategories: brood care, nest maintenance, patrolling and foraging. +This object detection process will be activated when the front bump sensor is stimulated or when both sonar detectors are stimulated. +The code will be similar to the object identification subroutine and may look something like this: +Younger ants work more inside the nest, and older ants work more outside the nest. +A program encoding this behavior might look like this: +This behavior will be implemented in two parts, with a task-switching algorithm based on age. +To control for this behavior, Antie’s explore subroutine will display a preference for exploration in places where there is a low gradient of nestmate pheromones. +In order to inform itself about its environment, Antie will need a number of sensors. +The locations of the rest of these sensors will depend on their function. +All of our frantic preparations may have had some effect in preventing small-time casual attacks, but they cannot stop a serious planned attack, any more than a mere door lock can stop a serious robber who really wants to get into your house. +The moral and religious

rewrites them in a meter that is more consistent with their rhythmic pattern. +Immediately following the arrival of E♭ in the bass, C♯ (D♭) is established as the tonal center for the final transition to the second theme. +The trombone motive in measures 134-141, shown in Example 12, is the subject of the fugato section in part 3 of the development, although its importance is downplayed here. +In measures 91-95, the bass descends F-E♭-D♭-C, which might seem to support C’s functioning as structural dominant. +The return to B in measure 210 is also filled-in in this way by F♯ in measures 208-209. +Paul Wilson points out that “[i]n substituting for F within an analogous structure, B receives confirmation at this point as the crucial interior center of the movement.” +“[i]n substituting for F within an analogous structure, B receives confirmation at this point as the crucial interior center of the movement.” +As tempting as this interpretation may be, this observation is relegated to the notes section because it constitutes a horrible abuse of terminology—there is only so far that such tonal analogies can go before they begin to hide any true analytical insight behind misused

you. +“This man is here in search of his lover, who was stolen from him in the human world,” said Nepthys, ushering us toward the woman in silk. +“I have a feeling that she was worth the trade,” I added. +Nepthys could hardly believe her. +“It is. +She sat up, running her hands along her pale, round thighs. +She didn’t shed a bead of sweat, and I didn’t even see her draw a breath, but the glow around her hands shuddered like a stubborn candleflame. +I haven’t had a vampire here since you and – ” Nepthys shot a wicked look at him. +He didn’t look very surprised. +I slipped past the waving monstrosity that had blocked my view before, a mountain of wet, veined flesh, and had almost passed through the crowd when a clawed hand grabbed my arm. +I turned to keep going, but he caught my arm again. +He shot back up, hardly touching the ground, and I kicked him back. +He bashed up a set of stairs set into the side of the wall, and we chased up after him, heading up a huge staircase that seemed to go up for more stories than the building could have held. +He tossed it to me, and I just barely had it open before I saw the vampire again, turning to face me. +Then he landed heavy beside

Ocean Park (see page 32) is popular with children of all ages. +The Science Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui East allows children to get their hands on over half of its 500 exhibits, while the nearby Space Museum has regular screenings on an enormous Omnimax screen in its Space Theater, making the night sky come vibrantly alive. +Many stores will pack and ship purchases. +Major shopping areas are Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, especially along Nathan Road; Central on Hong Kong Island, particularly for upscale designer goods; Causeway Bay for slightly better prices; and the Hollywood Road area. +Bargain, and carefully examine any merchandise you buy here. +Hollywood Road in the Mid-Levels above Central is the most famous antiques street in Hong Kong. +Photo buffs know that Hong Kong is the place to buy some of the world’s most advanced photographic equipment, and there are some real bargains around. +However, be sure you compare prices and models before buying. +Every August young women convene to light joss sticks and some even climb the nine-meter (30-ft) rock to pray for good husbands. +The busy night-and-day crowds make this area vibrant and lively. +On Connaught Road Central, you’ll find one of Hong Kong’s curiosities, the 244-m- (800-ft-) long Mid-Levels outdoor escalator. +It’s so attractive and so easy to reach that it’s packed with sunbathers all summer long. +The waterfronts at Repulse Bay and Stanley are lined with good cafés and restaurants. +Its futuristic dome design is striking; inside are interactive exhibits, including one in which you can experience weightlessness. +Birds are favorite pets in Hong Kong, valued for their singing rather than their plumage, and here you’ll find all kinds of birds for sale as well as elaborate teak and bamboo cages. +These pleasant, but expensive, outings can lay the foundation for your own explorations aboard the cheap but usually comfortable ferries used by the islanders themselves. +Behind the church is the 1917 French Mission Building, now used as the Court of Final Appeal. +Entry procedures are similar to those in Hong Kong — most nationalities need only a passport to enter Macau. +Upon arrival in Macau, be sure to stop by the Macau Government Tourist Office for a map, brochures, and directions. +The fort, built by the Jesuits in the 17th century as a defense against the Dutch, was largely destroyed by the same fire that burned St. Paul’s. +The Handover Pavilion was meant to be a temporary structure, but public outcry ensured its preservation (located on Xian Xing Hai; open weekdays 10am–6pm, until 10pm weekends). +Look for jewelry shops along Avenida do Infante D.

Would you be happy back in a normal life, working and living and crying in the drudgery of whatever the hell normal is these days?” +I inspected the arrays of entertainment options—abstract, old-style flatscreens, engrossing VR flicks and action games, a selection of quondam bestsellers and a few recently released novels hoping to gain popularity. +The next time the captain stopped by our group, Tiffany tagging along (pretending that she, too, was a social butterfly who could mingle equally well with everyone), we were ready. +It was a lie, but we needed information. +Adrienne steepled her fingers and studied my face. +“One hundred and forty-seven is a magic number,” +“If you dislike this place so much, why don't you do something about it?” +Everything to fade away, lost as dust and scattered atoms between the stars, and every one of us to be left as alone as the moment we were born. +The one thing that wouldn't change. +“So, I'm on a ship now?

McClelland President +We've helped people break free of the welfare cycle. +We've found ways for people with disabilities to enter the workforce. +December 10, 1996 +We've expanded Goodwill's proven methods to towns and neighborhoods where they are needed most. +Of course, we've played different roles. +You have helped make Goodwill's work possible with your previous support. +Who has benefited from our partnership? +Everyone has. +When you and I help somebody find a job, one more person joins the ranks of tax payers, fewer tax dollars are spent on public assistance and businesses gain another consumer. +You and I have done some important work together. +There are a lot of barriers that keep people from working: physical and mental disabilities, history of welfare dependency and lack of education or self-esteem. +At last, he has found success in a job that he loves. +Now his goals are set on moving up in the company. +Every year, thousands of people come to Goodwill. +Like Michael, they share two common characteristics. +They face some barrier to employment and they want to work. +With support from people like you, they can overcome their barriers and earn success and the self-sufficiency that comes with it. +And then the pay-off begins for the entire community. +Last year, participants in Goodwill programs earned --and paid taxes on -- wages of nearly $3.5 million. +Michael Sims felt that way at age 39 -- the day he earned a job. +Their successes at work also saved taxpayers more than three-quarters of a million dollars in public assistance. +November 15, 1994 +The savings are counted in more ways than dollars and cents, however. +The families of the new wage earners may feel the accomplishment in terms of a house to live in, money to purchase food -- without food stamps -- and the beginning of a family focused on success, not hopelessness. +Won't you help make all of these successes possible? +Please send the largest contribution you can comfortably make. +Your gift will help give new meaning to the word success -- for people who have seldom had reason to use the word. +Michael was born with cerebral palsy. +Sincerely, +James M. McClelland President +P.S. +Your gift will make a difference. +For every dollar of public support Goodwill received last year, we returned $1.59 to the community in the form of earned wages and reduced public assistance payments. +Upon entering the work force, he discovered few job opportunities that seemed to match his abilities. +His most recent job lasted only a year before cut-backs eliminated his position. +For 18 long months Michael could not find a job. +Think of your greatest accomplishments. +Finally, Michael called Goodwill. +At Goodwill, Michael's counselors felt that his personable demeanor could be a major attribute and identified for him a possible job-match where his people skills could shine. +After three interviews, Michael proved that he was the right person for the job. +As the Clubhouse Monitor at Bent Tree Apartments, he now provides customer service for 50 to 60 tenants each night. +Their complaint: the system discourages working because unemployment provides benefits that many entry-level jobs don't include. +Some of the strongest critics of our welfare system are the people who have become dependent on it. +That's where you --and Goodwill --come in. +We help people train for and find jobs that make it possible for them to get off of welfare. +Last year, Goodwill placed 511 people in jobs, more than double the number we placed in 1993. +While the debate on welfare reform is gathering like a storm at sea, the people who need jobs are floundering. +We need your support to continue getting people off of public assistance. +Welfare is not the answer. +And welfare reform is an uncertain solution with an unknown starting date. +Goodwill works. +Please give the largest gift you can to Goodwill today. +Sincerely, Jack Dustman Chairman +With unemployment at its lowest point in years in central Indiana, many people still have a hard time finding meaningful employment. +Some, like Jerry, are ex-offenders. +Some are blind, deaf or have other physical disabilities. +With a promising new job at a plastic injection molding manufacturer, his legal troubles in check and a safe place to live, Jerry can get on with the business of building a life for himself and contributing to his community. +March 17, 2000 +For as long as he needs it, Goodwill will continue to help. +Your support of Goodwill will provide job training and placement services to help the hardest to serve in central Indiana find meaningful employment. +Please make an investment in the stability of our community by sending a gift to Goodwill. +Your generosity will help people help themselves. +Sincerely, +James M. McClelland President +Reality hit when he was unable to reconcile with his wife and ended up on the street. +Name Address City, ST, Zip +He went to the Center Township Trustee for food stamps until he could find a job and a place to live. +The Trustee referred him to the Blue Triangle where he consulted Goodwill's Career Academy staff for job search assistance. +Dear Name: +Jerry's Goodwill caseworker found him a job immediately. +But Jerry's troubles didn't end there. +The seasonal construction job he obtained soon ended, and he returned to Career Academy for help once more. +When Jerry was released from prison, he knew it would take hard work and determination to straighten out his life. +Unemployed, homeless and with a prison record, Jerry now faced going back to prison for failure to pay child support. +Such fund are often used for college tuition, vocational training or a deposit on an apartment. +Please take a few minutes to send a donation to help one or more of our children successfully cross that threshold into the future. +Sincerely, +Mary Roth Executive Director +The young adults who leave Pleasant Run have those same feelings. +June 21, 1999 +Very few have family support to get them started. +Many need furniture, linens and other basic necessities to begin lives on their own. +Name Address City, ST Zip +To help them establish themselves in the community, the Pleasant Run Emancipation fund was begun in 1993 by private donors who wanted to provide a measure of financial support for those leaving our programs. +Individuals who are being emancipated are eligible to receive up to $500 from the Fund if they formally apply and meet four requirements: +Dear , +1. Release by the courts +2. Successful completion of all life skills tests +Do you remember the combination of elation and apprehension you felt when you first left home? +3. Positive termination of his or her Pleasant Run program +4. Possession of a high school diploma or GED +Proof of meeting these, two staff reference letters and an essay stating why they should receive a grant and how it will be used are all reviewed by a Pleasant Run panel, which determines if the applicant merits the funds. +Then the task was to help children who lost parents in the Civil War. +Today, we serve children and families with a multitude of problems: emotional, physical, psychological and sexual abuse. +Some come from families where, through therapy, there is hope for reunification. +For others, "families" are the counselors are housemates at the group homes where they live. +Little ones, like Baby Jessica, caught in the struggle between adoptive and birth parents. +In 1995 we will serve over 850 children and 340 families. +In 1996, these figures will triple. +They welcome the chance to belong, to become self- sufficient, to regain their self-esteem and confidence. +November 27, 1995 +Often it is a long, hard struggle, but the results are well worth it. +For Pleasant Run to continue to serve abused and neglected children and their families, we need your support. +The Funding sources are shrinking, but the needs grow explosively. +Please "help good kids get better" by sending us a contribution today. +Your gift will give children and families hope for improved tomorrows. +Sincerely, +Older kids, like Tracy and Kerry, left homeless after a recent murder-suicide in Indianapolis claimed Mom and Dad. +Young adults, like Mary T., a jobless mother of three, trying desperately to keep her kids out of trouble in a crime-ridden neighborhood. +Dear Friend: +Real people! +Families are being torn apart, and too often, children are the victims. +What kind of people benefit by your contribution to Pleasant Run Children's Homes? +Kids like Tommie J., made a ward of the court because of repeated beatings by an alcoholic father; +Alice, sent to a group home to get help because of severe behavior disorders; +and John H., a recovering alcoholic, rebuilding a relationships with his family so they can live together again. +Pleasant Run Children's Homes began serving children nearly 130 years ago. +For some, it's a matter of weeks or months; +for others, it's years. +They leave Pleasant Run, generally, ready and able to contribute to society. +We're proud of our children and all that they overcome. +We are a not-for-profit, multi-service agency. +We wouldn't exist if the need weren't there. +The numbers of children who deserve our services are rising... as quickly as our programs can grow to serve them. +Please help us help them. +Pleasant Run Children's Homes... "where good kids get better." +Sincerely, +Mary Roth Tom Hirschauer +June 26, 1995 +Federal, state and local governments are freezing or withdrawing much-needed funding sources for people who are truly in need. +We all hear about today's increases in neglect, abuse and abandonment of those who can't fight back: children. +This is not newsletter. +Yet few of us hear enough about kids who live through these adversities and do make the grade. +The positive side. +They come into a Pleasant Run program... +whether it's for therapeutic help in their own homes (which nurtures whole families), through foster care families or in the familial surroundings of our residential homes. +Your contribution will make a difference in a child's life. +It may help a family stay together. +It can certainly make happy holiday memories. +A gift to Pleasant Run means the children in our care will have presents to open. +A gift means a family will have a holiday meal, cooking utensils to prepare the meal and dishes to serve it on. +Your gift will go beyond the holiday season. +It can help purchase clothing, school supplies, books and educational tools throughout the year. +Please take a few minutes to mail a donation to Pleasant run. +Let our families and children know that you want them to have the same kinds of memories of the holidays you will have. +We wish you and your family a new year full of joy and love. +Dear Friends of Pleasant Run: +Mary Roth Executive Director +This is the time of year when we give thanks for the warmth and love that surrounds us. +And this time of year is an occasion to remember those not as fortunate as we are. +Pleasant Run cares for at-risk children and families. +The holiday season is the time of year when we're all busy buying gifts, baking goodies, decorating our homes and making arrangements to be with family and friends. +Many of the children are victims of abuse or live in unstable homes. +Today we are asking you to take a few minutes to consider making a contribution to Pleasant Run to help the 1,500 children families we care for. +Many of the children have no homes; no memories of joy from past holidays. +If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Lisa Lusk or Marcia Whited at 693-9222. +We would like to have families matched with sponsors non later than xxxx. +Thank you for considering this opportunity to make this a memorable holiday season for a family in need. +Sincerely, +It's hard to believe that the holiday season is only two months away. +Every year we seek companies, organizations and individuals to sponsor one or more of our families. +These families are participants in our community-based programs. +These programs focus on keeping the family together by providing counseling and other services to the entire family. +After our caseworkers meet with these families and their children they often find they lack even the basic necessities such as cooking utensils, beds, cleaning supplies, etc. +We meet these needs immediately. +But, the holiday season is a particularly difficult time for these families. +They do not have the resources necessary to purchase gifts or food for a holiday meal. +At Pleasant Run, Inc. we are making plans and arrangements for our children and families. +It costs $225 to send one child to camp. +Many members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis can't afford to go to camp without financial assistance, and that's why we need you! +Yes, it's that time of the year -- the start of the Boys & Girls clubs of Indianapolis' Camp. +Consider sponsoring 1, 2, or 3 children. +Sincerely, +Richard Dickinson +You can make a difference in a child's life. +Sponsor a child at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis' summer camp today! +Six weeks of learning and exploring, sports, arts, and fellowship. +A time for a youngster to enjoy the fun and benefits of residential camp living, dedicated staff and instruction, and a chance to make special friends. +I know you're committed to ensuring today's children have safe, healthy, and positive summer experiences. +That's why I want you to learn more about the Super Summer Safari Camp. +At Super Summer Safari Camp, there are daily sports, nature, and arts activities. +Dear Friend, +In addition to the fun stuff, important life-skills such as self-esteem, leadership, and interpersonal cooperation are being developed. +It's summertime, so it must be time for CAMP! +Please read the enclosed brochure for more information on the wonderful Super Summer Safari Camp! +We are counting on you now to help us get where we need to be tomorrow. +Would you please consider a gift of the same in 1999?

Brandon, President MCCOY, Inc. +Participants in the Youth Outcomes Educational Initiative identified three goals for all our youth to obtain: economic self-sufficiency, healthy family, social relationships, and involvement in the community. +A short time later, the Community Youth Mapping Project sent 55 young people out into the community to identify the resources they need to grow up well: caring adults, safe places to go, and positive things to do. +It is our goal that every young person in Marion County have access to the programs and services that can best assist them in their growth toward a positive adulthood. +I am hopeful that you as an individual and Meridian Insurance as a corporation might consider becoming sustaining supporters of MCCOY. +I have enclosed a packet of information about MCCOY and its work as well as an application with various options for supporting the youth of our community. +I obviously can't tell the whole story of MCCOY in a single letter but I hope this provides an overview of the scope of our work. +I will call you in a few weeks to discuss your level of interest. +Please consider joining together with your fellow citizens in support of the work of the Marion County Commission on Youth. +January 5, 1997 +Sincerely, +John Brandon Executive Director +As you begin that process this year, I would like to ask you to consider helping young people in Marion County toward more positive youth development by becoming a supporter of the Marion County Commission on Youth, Inc. +Name Address City, ST Zip +MCCOY Inc., originally founded as a government agency but re-organized in 1993 as an independent not-for-profit, is a county-wide youth services coordinating, planning, and convening agency. +Its purpose is to encourage collaboration and cooperation between the various agencies, programs, and systems that serve our community's youth. +Dear Bill: +In addition to that behind-the-scenes role, MCCOY has taken an out-front role in developing a Summer Bus Pass, neighborhood youth councils, and the We Value Youth information line. +This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to ways to do things differently, things that will make our lives better and improve the quality of our life. +The formation of The Community Academy, a pilot project directed at expelled students from local school systems, has come about as a result of MCCOY's efforts to mobilize community agencies in response to a pressing issue. +McCoy is actively represented and working with numerous community collaborations where we regularly raise our voice to speak out for the inclusion of young people in both decision-making and program planning processes. +One concrete example is a joint project undertaken in the United Northwest Area in partnership with The Junior League of Indianapolis and Community Partnerships with Youth from Fort Wayne, Indiana. +October 7, 1996 +Since its re-organization, MCCOY has established its unique niche within the community by refraining from direct service programming and focusing on what it does best: helping to identify youth needs, convening groups of individuals and organizations which can address those needs, and moving toward collaborative solutions. +MCCOY was reorganized as an independent, not-for-profit agency, separate from local government. +McCoy has only one interest: the well being of Marion County's young people. +---- the co-ordination of youth leadership training and youth empowerment efforts at the neighborhood level by means of neighborhood-based youth councils; +---- the promotion of youth employment opportunities; +---- the development of community-wide supports for the positive growth of all Marion County young people. +In the last several years, the business and corporate community has recognized that the positive development of youth is directly related to the development of a competent workforce. +It retained, however, the same mission with which it had been charged from its inception: to serve as a catalyst for effective, coordinated, and collaborative service delivery to youth in our community. +Youth who are supported and encouraged by both a family and a society that values Them have a much greater likelihood of becoming productive and contributing members of adult society. +While we have made significant inroads, there remains much to be done and it is clear that we cannot do it alone. +Name Address City, ST Zip +In our fund raising efforts to date, we have received the support of local government, foundations, and corporations as well as the personal financial commitments of individual MCCOY Board members. +We believe there is no more appropriate time to have a coordinated and collaborative effort to financially support the services MCCOY offers to the community as a whole. +Sincerely, +John T. Neighbours Philip B. Roby President Treasurer +For the past three years, MCCOY has been actively engaged in accomplishing this declared mission in cooperation with many others: youth service providers, youth, funding bodies, and interested citizens to name a few. +Dear Name: +We have met with a number of successes along the way, most notably the Summer Fun Line, the Metro Summer Bus Pass, and the development of ten neighborhood youth councils. +In the summer of 1993, the Marion County Commission on Youth began what can best be described as a "new era" in its history. +A Providers Council and a Youth Coalition are building relationships that will hopefully bear great fruit in the years to come. +One of us will call you to discuss how your company can become an important highly visible partner with the JCC in support of our scholarship programs. +If you have any questions, please feel free to call Myrna Weinberger at 251-9467, ext. 256. +Thank you in advance for your consideration. +The 9th annual JCC Auction will benefit the numerous scholarship programs of the Jewish Community Center of Indianapolis, a United Way agency. +Sincerely, Judy Laikin, Chair Auction '99 Sponsor Committee +Because you are an organization that cares, you are invited to become an integral part of this fabulous event by becoming a corporate sponsor for JCC Auction '99. +Dear +The JCC would be very pleased to welcome your organization as a corporate sponsor. +Join us for the "Sale of the Century" at JCC Auction '99, on Saturday, November 13, 1999. +As a sponsor, you and your guests will have a special evening, knowing that your tax deductible contribution will help support preschool, childcare, senior and resettlement services, as well as quality cultural events in our community. +Enclosed is a corporate sponsorship package that includes a sample auction book from last year's event, JCC market statistics and an overview of the many programs that will be preserved and strengthened through your generous support. +One of us will call you to discuss how your company can continue to be an important, highly visible partner with the JCC in support of our scholarship programs. +If you have any questions, please feel free to call Myrna Weinberger at 251-9467, ext. 256. +Thank you in advance for your consideration. +The 9th annual JCC Auction will benefit the numerous scholarship programs of the Jewish Community Center of Indianapolis, a United Way agency. +Sincerely, +Judy Laikin, Chair Auction '99 Sponsor Committee +October 27, 1998 +Because you are an organization that cares, you are invited once again to be an integral part of this fabulous event as a corporate sponsor for JCC Auction '99. +Dear Name: +We are so grateful for your generous contribution to last year's auction. +Join us for the "Sale of the Century" at JCC Auction '99, on Saturday, November 13, 1999. +As a sponsor, you and your guests will have a special evening, knowing that your tax deductible contribution will help support preschool, childcare, senior and resettlement services, as well as quality cultural events in our community. +Enclosed is a corporate sponsorship package that includes a sample of your ad from last year's auction book, current JCC market statistics and an overview of the many JCC programs that will be preserved and strengthened through your generous support. +Over 150 girls are currently waiting for a Big Sister. +You can make an impact by supporting Big Sisters Annual Campaign and our $200,000 goal. +We know that children do better when they have a network of caring adults to nurture and motivate them. +If you are a regular contributor to the Annual Campaign, I encourage you to consider increasing your gift by 10%. +If you have not supported Big Sisters in the past, please join me in doing so by completing and returning the enclosed pledge form. +Early adolescence is the most vulnerable age for youth. +It's the perfect time to make a world of difference. +Sincerely, +Name Address City, State, Zip +Big Sisters helps bridge that gap by providing children with the resources they need -- Big Sisters volunteers. +Big Sisters are mentors and friends who empower girls to more fully reach their potential, experience life's opportunities and perhaps begin to dream. +Dear Name, +The relationships that are formed provide strong foundations from which healthy values and strong self-confidence can grow, helping youth become strong, independent adults of tomorrow. +It's tough growing up today. +This is an impressive number;

Bill Richardson of New Mexico, who went to help a pair of U.S. oilmen in diplomatic trouble. +Hall flies to Amman, Jordan, on Friday, where he'll spend the night before driving to Iraq. +Hall is to return to Washington on April 22. +Story Filed By Cox Newspapers +The Dayton Democrat, who has traveled to other crisis points including Sierra Leone and North Korea, will spend three days visiting hospitals and other facilities to seek understanding why aid has been ineffective in stemming malnourishment and other medical problems. +By Scott Montgomery Washington +Iraq has been under economic sanctions since the war ended, which some say have thwarted the country's ability to recover from the devastation of the bombing campaign. +The Persian Gulf War destroyed much of the country's medical infrastructure, according to a report by the World Health Organization. +The Iraqi government has agreed to let U.S. Rep. Tony Hall visit the country next week to assess a humanitarian crisis that has festered since the Gulf War of 1990, Hall's office said Monday. +In 1996 the WHO found that much of the population existed in a state of ``semi starvation.'' +Hall will be only the second member of Congress to travel in Iraq since the war, according to Hall's office. +Iraq clears visit by Ohio official +The Iraqi government blames the embargo for the malnutrition, infant mortality and other hardships. +The sanctions cannot be lifted until U.N. inspectors certify that Iraq has eliminated its weapons of mass destruction and the means to produce them. +At least one other congressman has visited Iraq. +Energy Secretary Bill Richardson went to Baghdad in 1995 while a representative for New Mexico. +Hall, an Ohio Democrat and one of very few U.S. congressmen to visit Iraq since the 1991 Gulf War over Kuwait, is scheduled to embark Sunday the 12-hour overland trip to the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. +He did not speak to reporters in Jordan, but he told The Associated Press before leaving the United States that he hopes to "separate the humanitarian work from the political issues." +AMMAN, Jordan (AP) +During his four days in Iraq, Hall said he wanted to investigate reports from relief agencies that a quarter of Iraqi children may be suffering from chronic malnutrition. +U.S. Representative Tony Hall arrived in Jordan on Saturday en route to Iraq, where he is expected to look into the plight of Iraqis after nearly 10 years of U.N. trade sanctions. +He said he would pay particular attention to what happens to food and medicine entering the country under the U.N. oil-for-food program. +If supplies are not reaching the people who need them, Hall said, he wanted to find out whether the United Nations or relief agencies needed to handle things differently, or whether "Iraq needs to get out of the way and let us do the job." +Ohio Congressman Arrives in Jordan +Iraq says the United States and Britain hold up delivery of needed supplies, using their clout in the United Nations. +A U.S. lawmaker assessing the impact of U.N. sanctions on Iraq said Wednesday it is important not only to force Baghdad to give up its weapons of mass destruction but also to do more to ease the hardships on ordinary Iraqis. +The U.S. government says it wants to ensure that Iraq is not buying items that appear to be humanitarian in nature but that could be used for making weapons. +By HASSAN ABDULWAHAB, Associated Press Writer +"It was very, very important" to compel Iraq to rid itself of weapons of mass destruction so that "it cannot use or export them to other countries," he told Associated Press Television News. +But he insisted the international community can do a much better job in helping Iraq deal with its economic and health problems. +One way would be to speed up the flow of health supplies and other urgent commodities to the country under a U.N. humanitarian program, he said. +BASRA, Iraq (AP) +Lawmaker Appeals for Innocent Iraqis +The United States cut virtually all military links with Indonesia in 1999 after its forces were implicated in the violence that swept East Timor after that territory voted for independence. +"We recognized that terrorism is a global threat and that the disturbing acts of terrorism and transnational crimes, which continue to threaten world peace and stability, must be tackled by the international community," +"We recognized that terrorism is a global threat and that the disturbing acts of terrorism and transnational crimes, which continue to threaten world peace and stability, must be tackled by the international community," the ministers said in a communique on Tuesday. +Powell is among the representatives from 13 nations outside Southeast Asia, including China, Japan and Russia, that are taking part in the annual meeting of the group's regional forum. +Terrorism dominates the agenda, though the possibility of a meeting here between Powell and his North Korean counterpart, Paek Nam Sun, has generated the most news. +It would be the highest-level contact between the United States and North Korea since President Bush took office. +Powell heads to Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, late on Thursday before finishing a weeklong trip through the region in the Philippines on Saturday. +The committee's action comes six months after federal prosecutors ended a lengthy criminal investigation into Torricelli's activities without filing criminal charges. +He said that when he arrives in Jakarta, he will have "some ideas and some initiatives" to present to President Megawati Sukarnoputri. +"some ideas and some initiatives" +Indonesia is already receiving $400,000 in the current fiscal year for civilian training programs and is to receive a like amount next year; and the United States expects to provide an additional $16 million this year to train police officers in counterterrorism. +"counterterrorism fellowships," +But a senior State Department official also acknowledged that some in the administration and Congress are pushing for more direct military cooperation, which would require congressional approval. +"I think they recognize the danger that we all face and I think they have been cooperating more fully with us as time goes by, and I'm quite sure that Mrs. Megawati is committed to this cause," +"I think they recognize the danger that we all face and I think they have been cooperating more fully with us as time goes by, and I'm quite sure that Mrs. Megawati is committed to this cause," Powell said in Singapore. +He met there with Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, who endorsed the idea of renewed military ties between the United States and Indonesia as an important step in stabilizing that country. +Powell contended that it was not inconsistent to want to foster cooperation even with an organization like the Indonesian military, which has a history of human rights abuses. +"If you get young officers, expose them to a military organization that is within a democratic political institution, such as the United States, then that rubs off on them," +In Malaysia, Powell met with Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who has led the country since 1981. +The Malaysian foreign minister, Syed Hamid Albar, later told local reporters that Powell had proposed that American and Malaysian officials review the idea of forming a regional training center in Malaysia to coordinate antiterrorism activities. +The ethics panel, to which evidence from the criminal case was forwarded, concluded its review just as Torricelli is gearing up his campaign for re-election against the Republican candidate, Douglas R. Forrester. +His brief stop in Malaysia also highlighted the moral ambiguities of the effort to prevent terrorism and its emphasis on cooperation with governments that the United States has often criticized. +The United States once distanced itself from Mahathir for strong-arm tactics with political rivals, and human rights groups criticize him for arresting and jailing scores of suspected militants, including some who may be linked to al-Qaida, without trial. +Powell said his discussions with Mahathir "touched on the case" of his former deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, who is serving a 15-year sentence on charges of sodomy and abuse of power after trials that Powell said the United States had "always felt" were flawed. +The assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, James Kelly, met on Tuesday morning with Anwar's wife, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, for what she later told Malaysian reporters was a discussion about both the detention of her husband and six supporters, and the campaign against terrorism. +"severely admonished" +Microsoft plans to announce on Wednesday a partnership with AT&T Wireless Services to offer software for wireless devices and services, a person close to the talks said Tuesday night. +The deal would be part of Microsoft's drive to sign up wireless carriers to use its so-called smart phone software -- a pared-down version of the Windows operating system -- and services that Microsoft is developing as part of its .Net Internet strategy. +Neither Microsoft nor AT&T Wireless would comment. +The main market for the Microsoft-AT&T partnership is expected to be business customers. +Microsoft's efforts to persuade wireless carriers to use its cell phone operating system have struggled. +It has run into particular opposition from companies aligned with Nokia, which has developed a competing software. +But Microsoft's potential advantage, analysts say, is its ability to link its cell phone software to its desktop PC software, a Microsoft stronghold. +After months in which polls showed Torricelli well ahead of his relatively unknown Republican rival, the contest has narrowed in recent weeks. +Customers who want access to Microsoft desktop e-mail, documents and calendar information may prefer Microsoft's wireless technology. +In recent months, Microsoft has announced partnerships with wireless carriers like Verizon and Sprint PCS. +Less than three weeks after outfielder Cliff Floyd was imported to Montreal to play a pivotal part in the Expos' playoff plans, he was traded to Boston Tuesday night to try his hand in what the Red Sox hope will be their postseason plans. +Floyd did not produce the kind of offense the Expos expected from him, so Omar Minaya, the Expos' aggressive rookie general manager, turned around and sent him to the Red Sox in exchange two South Korean pitchers and a player yet to be named. +The teams made the deal less than 24 hours before Tuesday's 4 p.m. +deadline for making trades without first getting waivers on players. +Minaya obtained Floyd from the Florida Marlins on July 11, only two weeks after he stunned baseball by acquiring Bartolo Colon from Cleveland. +Colon has won four of five decisions for the Expos, but Floyd batted only .208 for them while hitting three home runs, including one Tuesday night, and driving in four runs. +With the Marlins Floyd bated .287, hit 18 home runs and drove in 57 runs. +The Expos, who had a 46-41 record when they made their first Floyd deal, had only a 7-12 record with him on the team, dropping from 9 1/2 games behind Atlanta in the National League East to as many as 16 games back. +It was the first time that the Senate Ethics Committee had voted to take action against a senator since 1995, when it recommended that Bob Packwood, an Oregon Republican, be expelled on the ground of sexual and official misconduct. +Floyd can be a free agent after this season, and Minaya decided it would be more prudent to trade him and get value in return than have to settle for a draft choice or two as compensation when he signed with another team as a free agent. +The Expos acquired Sun Woo-kim and Seung Jun-song. +The Red Sox signed him in 1997. +Song is a 22-year-old right-hander from Pusan. +The Red Sox signed him in 1999. +The Red Sox wanted to bolster their offense. +They led the Yankees for most of the first three months of the season but then slipped behind them in the American League East. +Earlier in the day Tuesday, one member of the Red Sox organization was not sure they would be able to get Floyd. +"I don't know that he's that serious about moving him," +"I don't know that he's that serious about moving him," the person said of Minaya. +But as the day wore on, the Red Sox tried harder and by Tuesday night were able to get the player they wanted for their lineup. +With the barrage of crack cocaine-connected killings in the 1980s came the realization that young people were too often full-fledged players in the violence. +That was more evident here than in any other city, said George Starke, who after his career as an offensive tackle with the Washington Redskins from 1973 to 1984 stuck around and decided to make this place more than his home. +"There was death in D.C. throughout the '80s and into the '90s, and there was death everywhere," +"There was death in D.C. throughout the '80s and into the '90s, and there was death everywhere," said Starke, who was reared in New Rochelle, N.Y., and played at Columbia. +"It wasn't like New York's or Boston's organized crime. +"It wasn't like New York's or Boston's organized crime. It was kids shooting kids. It was a 14-year-old from R Street who got his crew of six together and ran their drug block killing another 14-year-old and his crew from a block away. And from the beginning I could see that it was all about jobs.

Stack, the company's managing director. +"This is the Mona Lisa of coins," said Beth Deisher, editor of Coin World, the largest weekly coin publication in the United States, with a circulation of 85,000. +"It is unique. +"It is unique. Forbidden fruit." +Forbidden fruit." +Collectors' Web sites have surged with speculation about the sale price, and enthusiasts even organized betting pools. +On Tuesday night, Redden took the podium for nine minutes before the gavel came down, recognizing bidders in the audience and on the telephone. +The tension in the crowd was broken with a burst of applause after the $5 million mark, and a louder explosion at $6 million. +The rumor in the crowd had been that "anything under $6 million would be a bargain," said Ute Wartenberg, executive director of the American Numismatic Society in Manhattan. +"anything under $6 million would be a bargain," +Most bidders dropped out after that price. +The sale price of $6.6 million, when added to the commission, totaled $7.59 million. +The auction attendance was swelled by coin collectors who had gathered on the eve of the American Numismatic Association Convention, the largest coin show of the year, expected to draw more than 10,000 people to the Marriott Marquis Hotel Wednesday. +"So the auction was almost like the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the convention," +"So the auction was almost like the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the convention," Stack said. +Fore of the mint said the high price for the coin was reached "because it is one of a kind, it is beautiful and it has a great story." +The coin was the only 1933 double eagle that has ever been legally offered for sale, and its Maltese Falconesque history only recently came to light, thanks to documents unearthed during the five-year legal battle over its ownership. +In 1792, it was deemed that all gold and silver U.S. coins would bear the depiction of an eagle, but gold pieces were issued only after a gold rush boom in 1850. +They were called double eagles because their face value was twice that of the original $10 gold piece. +Torricelli also insisted that he had not done any unusual favors for Chang, who first turned to the senator in 1995 for help in winning the repayment of some $71 million he said he was then owed in a failed business deal with the North Korean government. +Following the suggestion of President Theodore Roosevelt, the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens redesigned the coin in 1907 in high relief, forever after giving the coins the designation "saints." +"saints." +But in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt took the United States off the gold standard, and ordered all the 1933 saints already manufactured destroyed, save for two reserved for the Smithsonian Institution. +They were never declared legal currency. +Presumably after being stolen by a mint employee, nine double eagles surfaced during the mid-1940s and 1950s. +They were seized by the Secret Service and melted down. +But before these coins came to light, the royal legation of Egypt turned up with one at the Department of the Treasury, and somehow got an official to issue an export license for the coin to enhance the collection of King Farouk. +By the time that blunder was discovered, the coin had left the United States. +In 1954, after the king was deposed, his coins were sold at auction and the double eagle vanished. +It went underground until it came to Fenton in 1995. +His arrest in Manhattan, after attempting to sell the coin for $1.5 million, led to a court battle over whether -- thanks to the Treasury's mistaken export permission in 1944 -- the coin could be legally owned. +The coin once again escaped destruction when it was moved from the Treasury Department vault in 7 World Trade Center eight months before the building collapsed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. +The record price was seen as a gift by coin collectors. +"Many people believe that our great coin rarities are vastly undervalued in comparison to old master paintings," +"Many people believe that our great coin rarities are vastly undervalued in comparison to old master paintings," Deisher said. +In a ceremony after

will receive a certificate of transfer stating just that, but only after paying the auction price and a fee of $20 for the face value of the coin. +Your acceptance of a television and stereo CD player

Cuomo, McCall's opponent, by offering voters a straightforward introduction to the candidate, emphasizing his long list of high-level jobs in both the public and private sector. +It also emphasizes leadership, an important campaign issue after Sept. 11. +At the same time it gives McCall a chance to intertwine his boot-straps story with the broader issue of children and education, a priority of many Democratic voters. +The New Jersey Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned the death sentence of Leslie Ann Nelson, a transsexual go-go dancer who killed a police officer and an investigator with an AK-47 rifle. +The court, vacating Nelson's death sentence for the second time, ruled on two grounds: that the jury could have been confused by instructions on the verdict sheet and that the prosecutor made improper accusations in his closing argument. +Nelson, 44, had been the only woman of 14 people on New Jersey's death row. +The ruling, which does not affect Nelson's guilty plea, sends the case back to the trial court for resentencing. +The state attorney general's office has not decided whether to seek the death penalty again, a spokesman, Peter Aseltine, said Tuesday. +The court upheld the sentence of another death row inmate, Robert O. Marshall, convicted of arranging the murder of his wife at a picnic area on the Garden State Parkway. +In its 5-to-0 decision in the Nelson case, the court showed continuing uneasiness with the death penalty, as it has done even since adopting a voluminous set of review procedures in 1999 to govern capital cases. +Justice James R. Zazzali and Justice Virginia Long said in a separate opinion that in addition to the reasons given in the majority opinion, also written by Zazzali, they believed the death penalty would constitute cruel and unusual punishment because of Nelson's history of emotional disturbance. +Zazzali and Long had expressed similar reservations in June 2001 when the court overturned the death sentence of Thomas J. Koskovich, who was 18 when he killed two pizza deliverymen in an ambush. +The majority opinion Tuesday said the court would impose higher standards in capital cases when reviewing prosecutors' conduct and possibly ambiguous jury instructions. +While all five members of the majority found the instructions to the jury on weighing aggravating and mitigating factors to be confusing, two of those justices wrote in a partial dissent that the prosecutor's statements in his summation about the defense's expert witnesses were within the bounds of acceptable argument. +The committee did not confirm some of the most serious allegations, including Chang's claim that he gave Torricelli tens of thousands of dollars in cash. +Two of the court's members, Chief Justice Deborah T. Poritz and Justice Peter G. Verniero, did not participate in the Nelson case because both are former attorneys general. +Nelson, born Glenn Nelson, had severe psychological problems and a history of reclusive behavior into adulthood, and was convicted on a weapons charge in 1988. +After undergoing sex change surgery in 1992, she pursued a career as an exotic dancer. +She pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to death by a jury in 1997. +The Supreme Court overturned that sentence in July 1998, ruling that the prosecution had failed to disclose important information to the jury. +A second jury sentenced Nelson to death in March 2001. +In Marshall's case, the 5-1 decision upheld a lower court's dismissal of his petition for further review of his 1986 murder conviction. +Marshall, an insurance agent from Toms River, was convicted of hiring a man to kill his wife while the couple were going home after an evening of dining and gambling in Atlantic City. +The case was the subject of Joe McGinniss' best-selling book "Blind Faith." +"Blind Faith." +The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31: +The committee said it had weighed the fact that Torricelli's principal accuser in the case had been Chang, "a witness whose credibility has been called into question by the Department of Justice, a United States District judge and his own conduct." +President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt describes himself as America's leading Arab ally. +Yet his anti-democratic behavior is an embarrassment to Washington and an affront to his own people. +The latest example is Monday's re-sentencing of Saad Eddin Ibrahim, a sociologist and human rights activist, to seven years in prison for his efforts to register voters, monitor elections and report attacks on Egypt's Coptic Christians. +The verdict should be annulled, not just on humanitarian grounds but because his prosecution is an abrogation of the most basic standards of justice. +Ibrahim's harsh punishment sends a chilling message to Egyptians yearning for a more accountable and tolerant society. +Egyptian courts are neither fair nor independent. +Like every other government institution, they hew closely to Mubarak's wishes. +That is especially true of the State Security Court that ruled in this case. +"a witness whose credibility has been called into question by the Department of Justice, a United States District judge and his own conduct." +Nor is it likely his sentence would have been reaffirmed if Mubarak believed that convicting an American citizen for promoting democracy and human rights might jeopardize his own standing with the Bush administration and the $2 billion annual American subsidy that keeps his government afloat. +That aid bonanza was granted to reward Mubarak's predecessor, Anwar Sadat, for signing a peace treaty with Israel. +Washington has never demanded good governance and democracy from Cairo in return. +In recent months President Bush has spoken of the need to promote democracy in the Arab world. +It is time to extend this policy to Egypt. +While hardly the worst example of dictatorship in the Middle East, Egypt is one of the saddest. +It is a country with a long and glorious history, a substantial middle class, a peace treaty with Israel and large quantities of American aid. +Under Mubarak it has squandered economic and diplomatic opportunities and relentlessly stifled political debate. +Its official media are awash in anti-American and anti-Semitic propaganda. +The State Department and American officials in Cairo have issued diplomatically phrased protests of Ibrahim's trial and sentence. +What is needed is a message delivered personally by Bush and other top officials not only about the inexcusable treatment of Ibrahim but of the contemptuous approach to democratic values. +In May, that judge sentenced sentenced Chang to 18 months' imprisonment for obstructing justice and making $53,700 in illegal campaign contributions to Torricelli's 1996 Senate campaign. +The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31: +Responding to a wave of public dismay over the first designs for rebuilding Lower Manhattan, Gov. George Pataki has sent word that it's time to go back to the drawing board. +It is the right message, sent while it is still early enough to do something constructive about the disappointing quality of the work so far. +The governor, like Mayor Michael Bloomberg, now seems committed to creating a better mix of uses for ground zero, and a 24-hour community in Manhattan's downtown. +While rethinking the plans will delay the original rebuilding schedule slightly, it does not need to stall progress if the governor keeps the pressure on the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. +and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. +Pataki openly questioned the Port Authority's requirement that any plan for the site replace all the office, hotel and retail square footage lost in the attack on Sept. 11. +Renegotiating that issue with the World Trade Center leaseholders should begin immediately. +The city also needs to begin openly discussing what happens underground, in particular with the transportation network. +At this point, planners have focused on short-term repair of PATH and subway lines, with medium-range proposals being shopped in Washington that could untangle the disorganized web of subway lines downtown. +But at the time of Chang's sentencing, the judge, Alfred M. Wolin, also said the businessman had cooperated closely with federal investigators, providing them with information that was "material and credible." +Within the next few weeks the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. +and the Port Authority should offer some bigger ideas about how to connect the downtown area better to the rest of the region. +Lowering West Street alongside the World Trade Center site and building a park or esplanade on top is another option that has been popular with those reviewing the first six public proposals. +But it would be expensive, and the governor, the mayor and their friends in Washington will have to look at long-range ways to pay the bill. +Pataki's recent remarks are a sign that he understands how central the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan will be to his own political legacy. +Now he needs to follow through with action, to keep demonstrating that his core concern is coming up with the best possible plan, not simply keeping the issue on hold until after this fall's election. +The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31: +President Bush has now unveiled his long-awaited "Clear Skies" proposal, which he promises will simplify and strengthen the Clean Air Act without crippling American industry. +A debate on how to make the 32-year-old Clean Air Act a stronger and more efficient instrument is surely long overdue. +But the Bush plan falls well short of the only other credible proposal on the table, a bill sponsored by Sen. James Jeffords, Independent of Vermont. +Like Jeffords, the president calls for substantial reductions in three major pollutants -- the nitrogen oxides that produce smog, sulfur dioxide, which causes acid rain, and mercury. +But he ignores emissions of carbon dioxide, the main global warming gas. +That is a huge omission. +Even for the pollutants he addresses, Bush's timetable is too leisurely. +He aims to reduce all three by 70 percent by 2018. +"material and credible." +The Jeffords proposal would make the same sizable reductions by 2008. +Finally, the Bush proposal would roll back key provisions of the existing Clean Air Act that Jeffords would keep. +Bush argues that the regulatory mechanisms he has in mind for reaching Clear Skies' goals, chiefly a market-based emissions trading scheme, will be so effective that the need for many existing rules will disappear. +The ethics committee has the power to punish lawmakers with sanctions ranging from public or private letters of admonition to censure or expulsion. +This page has long embraced emissions trading as an essential tool for reducing pollution at manageable cost. +But some regulations, aimed at specific regional problems that nationwide trading alone is unable to address, cannot lightly be abandoned. +Indeed, Bush has already made clear his intention to roll back one of the most important of these regulations, a provision known as new source review that compels utilities to install modern pollution controls whenever they significantly upgrade older plants. +The 1970 Clean Air Act is a landmark statute, deserving of thoughtful improvement. +The Bush bill, as written, is not the way to get there. +In Torricelli's case, it acted without conducting a full investigation, saying the case had been exhaustively scrutinized by federal authorities. +"This matter was far more serious than what the committee found," +"This matter was far more serious than what the committee found," Simon said. +According to two government officials involved in the inquiry, the Ethics Committee received a vast amount of information from federal investigators, some of it under a court order issued in March. +That information included witness statements, store receipts and other documents indicating that Chang had paid for expensive items given to Torricelli, his sister, one of his longtime aides, Roberta Stern, and one of Torricelli's former girlfriends, Judy D. Balaban. +The committee's letter did not mention Chang's reported gifts to Torricelli of an $8,100 Rolex watch, about a dozen Italian-made suits and a $3,816 antique grandfather clock. +Nor did it cite a $1,590 Oriental carpet that Chang gave to Torricelli's former wife, Susan Holloway Torricelli. +"Your actions and failure to act led to violations of Senate rules (and related statutes) and created at least the appearance of impropriety," +"Your actions and failure to act led to violations of Senate rules (and related statutes) and created at least the appearance of impropriety," the three Democrats and three Republicans on the committee said in a three-page letter to Torricelli. +A government official involved in the inquiry said that evidence of those gifts was either incomplete or the subject of conflicting accounts by different witnesses. +The committee confirmed Torricelli's claims he had made partial repayments to Chang for two gifts: a large-screen television and a stereo compact-disc player. +But it said the senator had showed "poor judgment" by failing to reimburse him for the full market value of the gifts. +"poor judgment" +A person familiar with Torricelli's testimony to the committee said he had told its members that he repaid the "wholesale" cost of the appliances because Chang told him that was what he had paid. +"wholesale" +The statues, the existence of which had not been publicly known before, were displayed in Torricelli's Senate office. +Finally, the committee appeared to have discounted Torricelli's contention that he was not responsible for expensive earrings that Chang had given as Christmas gifts to his sister, Stern and Balaban. +The senator's belief "that such items were of little value or were not gifts to you under the circumstances" displayed poor judgment and violated Senate gift rules, the panel found. +"that such items were of little value or were not gifts to you under the circumstances" +According to a government official involved in the inquiry, the information reviewed by the Ethics Committee also included an analysis by federal investigators showing that during the period in which Chang claimed to have made numerous cash payments to Torricelli, the senator spent thousands of dollars more in cash than investigators could account for from his bank withdrawals and other known sources of income. +The analysis, which was assembled from banking and credit records, income-tax returns and congressional financial-disclosure forms, showed by March of 1998, Torricelli's cash expenditures were more than $22,000 in excess of the cash he had generated from checks and automatic-teller machines, an official who has reviewed the document said. +A spokeswoman for Torricelli, Debra DeShong, said he had fully accounted for all the money he had spent. +Even after the ethics committee admonished Torricelli on Tuesday night, one of his most important political supporters, Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., continued to defend him, stating that the panel had found Chang "a witness wholly without credibility." +"a witness wholly without credibility." +"extensive campaign of misinformation and deceit," +"Only then will New Jersey voters be able to decide Torricelli's fitness for office." +U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived here on Tuesday night for meetings with fellow foreign ministers aimed at solidifying a second front, in Southeast Asia, in the campaign against global terrorism. +But he has had to balance that goal with longstanding concerns about human rights abuses in the region. +In meetings on Tuesday in Malaysia and Singapore before touching down in this oil-producing sultanate for two days of talks with members of the Association of South East Asian Nations, Powell said he repeatedly raised the issue. +The Senate Ethics Committee on Tuesday night "severely admonished" Sen. Robert G.

maximum impact of each of the statements he cites, and to accomplish that effect, uses subtle interludes instead of long-winded introductions. +Not surprisingly, much of the criticism of Moore's film is misguided or outright wrong, often vastly more inaccurate than Moore's work itself. +This is a common technique, but because conservative readers are not familiar with the basics of filmmaking, they believe critics who claim that he is "distorting" the interview. +What he does is standard filmmaking practice. +The same goes for the interview which follows. +Moore's critics would expect us to have him quote Heston in his entirety, have him present fully the PR that the NRA has used to justify its rally in Denver for reasons of "balance". +The NRA was fully aware of the scandal it would cause through its rally and decided to push on because they believed to have enough media support to successfully do so. +They were right. +You claim that there was "no way to change location, since you have to give advance notice of that to the members, and there were upwards of 4,000,000 members." +10 days are more than enough to give advance warning of a change in location or date, had the NRA really wanted to. +Moore presents the most important part of the speech to back up this point and ignores the fluff. +This is what good documentary filmmaking is about. +And here the critics again ignore important evidence: +When Heston mentions the mayor of Denver, the crowd boos loudly. +Heston maganimously holds up a hand to read the mayor's letter (only to explain in detail why he chose to ignore the request -- not mentioning at all the reasons you have given!) +4) The Kayla Rolland case. +The rally took place on October 17, the shooting on February 29. +Again, standard filmmaking techniques are interpreted as smooth distortion: +"Moore works by depriving you of context and guiding your mind to fill the vacuum -- with completely false ideas. +It is brilliantly, if unethically, done." +As noted above, the "from my cold dead hands" part is simply Moore's way to introduce Heston. +Did anyone but Moore's critics view it as anything else? +He certainly does not "attribute it to a speech where it was not uttered" and, as noted above, doing so twice would make no sense whatsoever if Moore was the mastermind deceiver that his critics claim he is. +Concerning the Georgetown Hoya interview where Heston was asked about Rolland, you write: "There is no indication that [Heston] recognized Kayla Rolland's case." +This is naive to the extreme -- Heston would not be president of the NRA if he was not kept up to date on the most prominent cases of gun violence. +Even if he did not respond to that part of the interview, he certainly knew about the case at that point. +His documentary is full of subtle humor, jaw-dropping dialogue and dark contrasts. +The reason the sentence is highlighted is not to deceive the viewer into believing that Heston hurried to Flint to immediately hold a rally there (as will become quite obvious), but simply to highlight the first mention of the name "Kayla Rolland" in the text, which is in this paragraph. +It would have been fair for Moore to point out this possible misinterpretation on his website. +However, the claim of deliberate distortion is ludicrous for several reasons: +a) Moore clearly states that "before he came to Flint", Heston gave an interview. +In the excerpt from said interview, we can see that it is from March. +All in all, it is an accurate portrayal of America's gun and violence culture. +If Moore wanted to deceive his viewers, why would he say this, and show the month the interview was published? +b) Why should Moore leave the words "Clinton is on the Today Show" visible in the text, which is necessary to correctly interpret the highlighted part? +I reviewed the sequence several times and it is perfectly possible to see this text without pausing. +c) Both the "soccer mom" interview and the sequences showing the NRA rally make no effort to distort the fact that this rally happened months after the fact. +"we wanted to let the NRA know that we haven't forgotten about Kayla Rolland" +You make the hysterical claim that the interview "may be faked" (on the basis that no name is shown for the interviewee), but if Moore had faked it, why the hell should he put this sentence in the protestor's mouth, which directly contradicts the conclusion that the rally happened hours after Kayla's death? +Why did Moore, the masterful deveiver, not edit this sequence out? +This makes no sense. +Opinions may vary on how tasteless it was for Heston to hold a pro gun rally on the location of the nation's youngest school shooting months after the fact, but this sequence of "Bowling" is without doubt the most unfair to Heston. +The somewhat inept editing of the NRA press release has led some viewers to wrong conclusions, which is unfortunate, but Moore's critics have no interest in viewing the matter fairly. +In any case, at no point does Moore make a false statement, in contradiction to claims by critics that his documentary is "full of lies". +"Having created the desired impression, Moore follows with his Heston interview." +You accuse Moore so often of changing the chronology, yet you have no problems changing it yourself. +The Heston interview is at the very end of the movie. +On your webpage, you state that "Moore's resolution is questionable. +After the Flint rally comes a brief TV interview with Heston, where he is asked about Kayla Rolland (again, clear evidence that the local media in Flint raised questions about the NRA's presence), then an inteview with country prosecutor Arthur Busch, entirely ignored by critics of the film, who also mentions Heston's presence as notable, and refers to the immediate reactions of "people from all over America", gun owners/groups who, according to him, reacted aggressively to warnings of having guns accessible to children, much like spanking advocates react aggressively when anti-spankers point to a case of a child being killed or severely injured by a beating. +"Moore's resolution is questionable. +After all, early in the movie he discards the possibility that playing violent video games and watching violent flicks can cause violence -- because Canadians like, and Japanese positively love, those. +These people do not feel the need to express sympathy, or to think about ways to avoid such incidents, but they feel the need to assert their "rights" and to look for quick, simple answers -- as Busch states, gun owners wanted to "hang [the child] from the highest tree". +This is all not mentioned by critics of Moore's movie, who claim to be objective. +Perhaps the best example of the paranoia surrounding Moore's film is your sub-essay "Is the end of the Heston interview itself faked? +Moore answers a simple question -- how could the scene have been filmed -- with a simple answer: two cameras. +From this, you construct an obscure conspiracy of "re-enactment": "For all we can tell, Moore could have shouted 'Hey!' to make Heston turn around and then remained silent as Heston left." +"For all we can tell, Moore could have shouted 'Hey!' to make Heston turn around and then remained silent as Heston left." +'Hey!' +Even if your "re-enactment" theory is true (and I see no evidence that you have actually tried to ask the people involved in the filmmaking for their opinion), this itself is not unethical, and you have no evidence whatsoever that Moore has done anything unethical here, just like you have no evidence that Moore has unethically removed parts of the interview. +6)Animated history of the US. Of course the cartoon is highly oversimplified, and most critics consider it one of the weakest parts of the film. +But it makes a valid claim which you ignore entirely: That the strategy to promote "gun rights" for white people and to outlaw gun possession by black people was a way to uphold racism without letting an openly terrorist organization like the KKK flourish. +Did the 19th century NRA in the southern states promote gun rights for black people? +I highly doubt it. +But if they didn't, one of their functions was to continue the racism of the KKK. +This is the key message of this part of the animation, which is again being ignored by its critics. +If violent movies and violent videogames cannot cause violence -- then how can newscasts about violence do so?" +7) Buell shooting in Flint. +You write: "Fact: The little boy was the class thug, already suspended from school for stabbing another kid with a pencil, and had fought with Kayla the day before". +"Fact: The little boy was the class thug, already suspended from school for stabbing another kid with a pencil, and had fought with Kayla the day before" +This characterization of a six-year-old as a pencil-stabbing thug is exactly the kind of hysteria that Moore's film warns against. +It is the typical right-wing reaction which looks for simple answers that do not contradict the Republican mindset. +The kid was a little bastard, and the parents were involved in drugs -- case closed. +But why do people deal with drugs? +Because it's so much fun to do so? +It is equally well known that the so-called "war on drugs" begun under the Nixon administration is a failure which has cost hundreds of billions and made America the world leader in prison population (both in relative and absolute numbers). +In poor areas, the highly profitable drug business obviously is often seen as the last resort. +But the real cause here are not the drugs themselves, but poverty and the "war on drugs". +This is a faulty generalization. +Had the boy's mother not been shipped to a "welfare to work" program, she might at least have had some time to spend with her son. +Virtually every child psychologist knows that mother/child bonding is essential for the development of empathy and social abilities, the awareness of the consequences of one's actions, and the learning of conflict resolution by non-violent means. +If, as Moore implies (although never states as fact), video games and violent movies are relatively harmless, it does not logically follow that all types of media presentation are harmless. +Even the official quoted by Moore blames the welfare to work program, knowing full well that the drug issue is a red herring. +Once again, your emphasis on the little boy as a thug confirms Moore's (and Busch's) assertion that people wanted to hang the child from the highest tree instead of looking at the real causes. +That's because while there is a so-called war on drugs, there is no war on poverty. +Poverty is frequently portrayed as natural, and the poor in America are seen by conservatives as VCR-owners who are just too lazy to work. +In reality, what Moore describes here is the most vivid example of what can only be called wage slavery I have ever seen, to the detriment of families. +It is notable that the Wall Street Journal's reaction to this segment of the film was even more dismissive than yours: It called Moore's claim "preposterous". +, probably the most comprehensive among many rebuttals of the Oscar-winning documentary. +How could he even think about blaming poverty and forced labor programs for anything bad that happens? +8) Taliban and American aid. +After the September 11 attacks, it was necessary for conservatives to somehow explain away the fact that the US government gave 245 million dollars to the new evildoers du jour. +Never mind the fact that authors such as Robert Scheer warned of aiding the Taliban as early as in May 2001. +Never mind that in a regime that is controlled by warlords, it does not matter who is authorized to distribute the aid -- the ruling regional warlords will seize control of it and use it to their own advantage. +Never mind that this very argument has been used by hawks in opposition to sending humanitarian aid to Iraq's Saddam Hussein. +Never mind that the Taliban continued selling opium in spite of the deal. +There is a huge difference, for example, between playing a game like "Quake" and listening to a radio broadcast that tells you that your family will be killed unless you take action to kill others now. +Never mind that this is all documented on Michael Moore's website about the film. +9) Gun homicides. +That's because they know all too well that Moore is correct: The United States have a far greater homicide rate (both gun- and non-gun) than most other first world countries. +Not surprisingly, guncite, too, compares data from different years -- as I know from personal experience, it is quite difficult to do comparisons of crime statistics due to differences in reporting frequency and methodology. +The gun homicide rates for the countries Moore mentioned, according to guncite, are: Japan: 0.02 per 100,000 (1994)England/Wales: 0.11 per 100,000 (1997)Germany: 0.22 per 100,000 (1994)Australia: 0.44 per 100,000 (1994)United States: 3.72 per 100,000 (1999) +Critics fail to credit Moore with not making the same mistake that some gun control advocates make -- concluding that gun ownership "leads" to violence. +It is intuitively obvious that guns do not actually cause violence -- but it is equally intuitively obvious that they make the violence that is committed more deadly. +It is the second intuition which gun rights groups like the NRA seek to obscure using fraudulent data by the likes of John "Mary" Lott. +The gun control movement, on the other hand, distracts from the real causes of violence -- poverty, paranoia, the "war on drugs" and antisexuality. +If these causes were addressed, gun ownership in the United States would not be a problem (but also unnecessary); just like it is in Switzerland. +10) Canada ammunition purchase. +He asks us to "look at what I, a foreign citizen, was able to do at a local Canadian Wal-Mart." +"look at what I, a foreign citizen, was able to do at a local Canadian Wal-Mart." +He buys several boxes of ammunition without a question being raised. +"That's right. I could buy as much ammunition as I wanted, in Canada. +Canadian officials have pointed out that the buy is faked or illegal. +Once again, you fail to distinguish between regular film editing and "faking" (a word which "Canadian officials" have never used; for such a distortion, Moore would have been boiled alive by his critics). +If Moore simply chose not to show how he revealed his identification to the salesperson, there is nothing fraudulent about that. +His claim that it is possible to purchase ammunition in supermarkets is independent from that claim. +11) Heston's allegedly implied racism. +Similarly, the main motivation for the crusades (beyond the promise of wealth) was that Christians were supposedly being slaughtered and had to be saved. +While this can in part be explained with his age and mental condition, if he is unable to defend the interests of the NRA, he should not be their spokesman. +In this case, Hanlon's Razor can be applied to Heston -- he is probably not racist, but incompetent. +If Heston makes himself look like a fool, that should hardly be blamed on Michael Moore. +Conclusion +You write: "Bowling for Columbine is dishonest. +"Bowling for Columbine is dishonest. +It is fraudulent. +To trash Heston, it even uses the audio/video editor to assemble a Heston speech that Heston did not give, and sequences images and carefully highlighted text to spin the viewer's mind to a wrong conclusion." +None of this is true. +What is true is that Bowling for Columbine is a diamond in the small world of big screen documentaries, one that shines brightly and illuminates an often misunderstood aspect of American culture. +Obviously, media propaganda can incite people to kill. +Had Moore wanted to make a propaganda film, he would have used other material: photos from America's Emergency Rooms. +Certainly, Moore is one of the most talented filmmakers in the United States today, and his film fully deserved its Oscar. +The shrill (and remarkably unsuccessful) Internet campaign to "revoke" his award seems to be motivated more by jealousy than by real concerns about the film's accuracy. +Interactive fiction like video games, on the other hand, presents violence in a narrative context, which may very well desensitize participants to said violence, but no causative link has ever been proven. +It is not only the highest grossing non-music documentary of all time, among the users of the largest Internet film database, IMDB, it is also the highest rated one. +According to the LA Times, the documentary genre "owes a huge debt to Michael Moore" -- after Bowling's success, films like "Spellbound" and "Capturing the Friedmans" were taken seriously and shown in many more theatres than otherwise likely. +But perhaps the campaign against Moore is really motivated by another reason. +His next project has the working title "Fahrenheit 9/11: The temperature at which freedom burns", and he intends to launch it shortly before the next US presidential election. +After all, the same kind of PR blitz was started against the previous record-holding documentary: "Roger & Me" by Michael Moore. +This text is in the public domain. +Moore's hypothesis (which apparently comes at least in part from the book "Culture of Fear" by Barry Glassner, also advertised on Moore's website) is that the constant bombardment with messages of fear can incite paranoia, which itself can lead to violent acts. +Critics have now gone so far as to call for the revocation of the award. +This is consistent with the kind of media-incited violence described above, and in no relationship whatsoever to the theory of video game or music incited violence. +It is no surprise, however, that US (and European) media do not question their own propaganda of fear. +Moore's second hypothesis is that America's foreign policy may contribute to the belief that violence is an appropriate means to solve conflicts, a hypothesis which is shared by many sociologists and psychologists. +Children who grow up in war-torn regions are known for having similar views -- war is perceived as a normal part of existence, violence as a natural way to solve disputes. +Their chances are small, however, as their arguments rely on polemic, exaggeration and misrepresentation -- in other words, on the same techniques which they accuse Moore of using. +In a weaker sense, the same message is projected to American children, who grow up being told that it is not acceptable to be violent to one another, but who simultaneously have to endure corporal punishment and media messages about how "the enemies of freedom" are punished. +Moore's film was made before the dead bodies of Qusay and Uday Hussein were paraded on national TV. +Americans were gloating over this demented corpse show: +"They squealed like little piggies too, so you'll have to make do with 'oink, oink, squeeeeeeeallll' for their last words. +'oink, oink, squeeeeeeeallll' +That goes for your grandson Mustafa too, by the way. +Still think fucking with the U.S. was a good idea, Sammy?" +Mustafa was 14 years when he was killed. +Americans cheer the killing of children, yet wonder why their own children grow up to be more violent than those in other nations. +It is paradoxical notions like this one which Moore's film seeks to address. +Inaccuracies +Your webpage list a number of alleged inaccuracies in Moore's movies. +It is true that Moore's film is sometimes unintentionally deceptive, but to call it fraudulent is hyperbole to the extreme. +It is no more so than any other successful documentary of the last decades. +Let's look at some specific criticisms: +1) The bank scene, listed on your website on a separate page. +Critics have stated that this scene was "staged", but in the bank interview, the official tells Moore that the bank has its own vault storing about 500 weapons at any given time. +It is also a licensed firearms dealer which can perform its own background checks. +In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, linked from your site, an employee claims that the gun would have been "normally" picked up at another dealer. +Dear David Hardy, +It is not explained what "normally" is supposed to mean, but that claim flatly contradicts the statement of the bank official in the film. +This sounds more like a later correction for public relations purposes, but of course nobody questions the bank claims when they can be used against Moore. +It is fascinating to watch the organized character assassination of Michael Moore that has been going on in the United States since the release of his last documentary. +The only thing that Moore compressed is the timeframe. +According to the same WSJ interview, "Typically, you're looking at a week to 10 days waiting period." +"Typically, you're looking at a week to 10 days waiting period." +This is plausible -- but entirely irrelevant for the movie, which already makes it quite clear that a background check is being performed. +Moore's detractors have sometimes extended those 7-10 days to several weeks, contradicting the bank's own estimate. +There is nothing inaccurate whatsoever about the bank scene. +The bank does exactly what it advertises: It hands out guns from its vault to those who open an account. +The silly criticisms of the scene obscure the real obscenity of the situation: a bank handing out guns to its customers, higlighting the utter laxness of how Americans deal with deadly weapons and a love of firearms that borders on the religious. +2) The Lockheed-Martin interview. +This is perhaps the criticism repeated the most often, and it also the most inaccurate. +First, the actual quotes from the film are often reproduced incorrectly. +The dialogue goes as follows: +A defense of Michael Moore and "Bowling for Columbine" +"So you don't think our kids say to themselves, gee, dad goes off to the factory every day - he builds missiles. +These are weapons of mass destruction. +"I guess I don't see that specific connection because the missiles that you're talking about were built and designed to defend us from somebody else who would be aggressors against us." +In a time of simple-minded patriotism, loud, clear and dissenting voices like Mr. Moore's are perceived as disturbing and have to be silenced, partially through well funded public relations campaigns, partially through conservative "grass-roots" propaganda. +Moore is not from Colorado -- his question is generic, not meant to refer specifically to the Lockheed Martin plant in question. +McCollum understands it this way -- otherwise he would protest against the plant being mischaracterized. +However, critics of Moore have cleverly ignored McCollum's response and presented Moore as spreading lies about the Lockheed plant. +Even Lockheed did not believe the public to be that gullible. +In response to one Moore detractor, McCollum wrote: "Although other units of Lockheed Martin Corporation elsewhere in the country produce weapons to support the defense of the U.S., we make no weapons at the Littleton-area facility Moore visited." +Of course, critics have conveniently ignored the fact that Lockheed Martin does supply weapons of mass destruction to the US military, and that the company is the nation's largest military contractor. +As Moore correctly points out, it is bizarre for a society to openly embrace the production of destructive weapons, but on the other hand see no connection of this to everyday violence -- children learn by imitating adults. +Yes, Moore makes this point through slight exaggeration by moving with the camera through the LM plant -- but he makes no incorrect statement. +It is typical for his critics to jump on what is at most a slightly misleading implication, but in doing so, they themselves have, unlike Moore, made many incorrect claims. +3) Denver NRA meeting. +First, the "from my cold, dead hands" part: This is used by Moore as a visual citation to introduce Heston. +It is perhaps one of his most famous quotes, shown on national TV even here in Germany. +It tells viewers: Aha, this is the person we are talking about. +It is Moore's way to say: Viewers, meet Charlton Heston, gun nut extraordinaire. +The "visual of a billboard and a narration" is viewed by you as evidence that Moore is trying to somehow tie the two events together, when in reality, it is quite obvious that he does it to separate the introduction of Heston from his speech in Denver. +If you do have something better to do, though, by all means do it . +Granted grading papers is important, but no fun makes for a boring life. +I should know. +since, when I was your age I had fun playing with my adorable son and caring for another baby. +You need to try to have a life outside your computer. +Just saying....it seems I have more life now then you have and we know how little I get out! +The one that really stuck in my mind was explaining transitions in the panels of Watchmen . +I'd read Watchmen a short while before and appreciated its narrative complexity, but not being used to reading comics, hadn't registered all the technical tricks that the artist was using to achieve this. +The post not only taught me something about the grammar of such images, but more importantly led to me realising that there is a grammar to look for in the first place. +So thanks a lot for that one. +SEK, I started going through your back posts and noticed a pattern in my selections, so I think it would be easier (for me, because I'm rubbish with html) to just say all the scene analysis posts and the close reading comics posts, like the one Magistra mentioned and many others after that. +Plus Justifying Comics as a Legitimate Object of Study Parts I & II. +I also liked "Teaching the Overdetermined Image. +Your takedown of Cashill and the whole Ayers-wrote-Dreams was excellent, and the Cruel_cruel_death post (you know what I'm talking about, right? +Also, The Day in Actual Communist and Real Nazi History seems as relevant today as ever. +I don't remember if you've made noises here before about turning these into a book, but if you do you've got at least one reader. +What happened to your post that appeared in my RSS reader yesterday? +Would it be possible to arrange your posts into three 'parties', and give your many readers the opportunity to 'vote' for one of them, by 'secret ballot'? +However, when I started looking through my archives, it occurred to me that my output this year defines me much more sharply than in years past. +I can't believe I wrote all that last year. +What do I mean? +The posts I consider foundational to my current professional identity all seem to have been composed in 2009. +Granted, the likelihood that I'm suffering from the identitarian equivalent of presentism is awfully high, but I honestly thought I'd written some of the posts from early 2009 in 2006 or so. +Because I've been grading all damn day and am as tired as a Swearengen of hearing other about the finished semesters of pretty much every other academic blogger, I thought that it might be best to avoid jealously lashing out and scribble a "Best of Acephalous 2009" post. +If you have absolutely nothing better to do on a Friday night, feel free to scan through my 2009 archives and tell me what you think should be included in the "Best of" post. +I noted on Facebook that, from a statistical perspective, what makes baseball such an amazing sport is that you can watch it your entire life and still see, on a daily basis, something you’ve never seen before. +The fact that I can verify vague memories of events that occurred twenty-five years ago astounds me in a way I sometimes forget the Internet is capable of doing. +This realization is obviously not of world-historical importance, merely a reminder that this thing whose existence we take for granted daily represents a fundamentally weird complement to human memory. +The fact that at some point in the future I can know who I rode in an elevator with on 28 December 2005 is less weird because I chose to write about riding in an elevator with Grimace . +Joe Sambito. +Wow. +I'd completely forgotten about him. +Closest I came to that was watching Dale Murphy get tagged out at the plate on what would have been an inside-the-park slam. +He pitched for the Astros before he came to the Mets, stayed for '85, then he pitched for the Red Sox against the Mets in '86 World Series. +I remember him being ineffective, and as it turns out, he was . +Now that I remember him, which I didn't before, I remember him as being the pitcher who'd pitched for 1) the team the Mets faced to get to the '86 Series and 2) the one they faced in it. +Memory, as Gertrude Stein would say, is funny. +Apparently the drug use, sexual excess, and weird UCI experiences haven't softened your brain yet. +What's really bothersome, though, is when you only remember things from your distant past. +My grandpa was alert till the end, but when I last saw him at age 92 everything he wanted to talk about was 70 years in the past. +The Internet occasionally reminds me of how different life is because of it. +A guess, but perhaps your grandfather's life at 22 was more interesting than the ensuing 70 yrs. +It’s a truism, I know, but it has the benefit of actually being true. +You know what makes this post great? +No stinking cricket. +Yeah, I remember Sambito from the Astros (when the Braves were in the old NL West because it made sense to have a team 3,000 miles from most of their division rivals). +Solid pitcher for a while. +But burned out toward the end. +Apparently, he is a player's representative now. +Prosthetic memory. +I like to read about others watching baseball more than I like to watch baseball by a factor of nine. +In this case, the something in question was watching the wonderfully named Angel Pagan hit an inside-the-park home run and initiate a triple play in the same game. +It is true that at the end of time, the old time baseball writers will be hailed as the very best writers, as they had access to an event that was susceptible to beautiful writing, but horrendous to watch in person. +Plus, they smoked a prodigious quantity of cigarettes. +John Emerson responded with some humbug about it not being an inside-the-park grand slam, which made me remember that I had seen an inside-the-park grand slam at some time in the remote past. +I remember being six or seven years old and watching the Mets play the Cardinals in an afternoon game at Shea Stadium, and thanks to the miracle of the Internet, I can definitively say that at approximately 4:30 p.m. on 9 June 1985 , I watched Terry Pendleton hit an inside-the-park grand slam off Joe Sambito in a game the Cardinals would go on to win handily. +Diagram of the polarization-opponent unit described by Lambrinos, et al (2000). +The unit takes in polarization levels through the two polarization-sensitive photodiodes and feeds them into the logarithm ratio amplifier, which returns the difference of the logarithmized signals from the photodiodes. +The e-vector (heading) returned from the two polarization-sensitive photodiodes (1, 2) follows a cos2-function. +Ants themselves rely primarily on chemical information taken in through their antennae, and to mimic this, Antie will have chemical sensing and emitting “stalks” with which to both interact with other ants (who may be surprised to find an ant without antennae) and take in chemical information. +These stalks will need to have receptors to measure the n-alkene levels present in another ant’s cuticular hydrocarbons, which research indicates is the marker for harvester ants of a nestmate’s current task, perhaps because the hydrocarbons are altered in the dry sun, causing a different ratio of n-alkanes to n-alkenes and the presence of branched n-alkanes in the hydrocarbon profile (Wagner, et al, 2001, as cited in Gordon & Greene, 2003). +Such a robot would allow for both long-term studies of ant-robot interactions and studies of task-switching in the robots. +Returning successful patrollers have an even greater effect on foraging activity: foragers will not leave the nest unless a patroller returns (Gordon, 2002), and the rate of foraging in a colony can be controlled by rolling glass beads coated with cuticular hydrocarbons extracted from patrollers into the nest (Gordon & Greene, 2003; Greene & Gordon, 2007). +Midden seems to be marked in some olfactory way, since removing midden from nests makes them more likely to be invaded by other species (Gordon, 35). +For the purposes of this proposal, I will assume that the nest maintenance and food processing ants have marked the midden with a particular pheromone. +All of these chemical receptors will be arranged in an array on a pair of chemical stalks, with four of each type of receptor per stalk. +This technique, described by Ishida, et al (2001), has been shown to improve the chemical plume-tracking abilities of robots. +The wires will lead back down through the stalk to the on-board PC. +Finally, Antie will have tactile sensors on its grippers to analyze the pressure being exerted on a gripped object. +These sensors will be of the type patented by Peterson, et al (Patent #4,492,949), and will feature several layers of electrically insulating and parallel flexible conductive rods arranged such that an exerted pressure may be measured in output voltage. +These will correspond to the muscles of the ant’s mandibles, which provide sensorimotor feedback to the ant when grasping objects. +A table of the sensors and their relation to the ant’s sensory system is provided below. +Table of sensors and their relations to the ant. +The red harvester ant lives in hot, dry deserts, building its nests in light yellowy sand and foraging for seeds deposited by winds and rain. +The ants forage for more than 30 different varieties of seeds, many of which do not grow in the desert (Gordon, 54), where only a few varieties of small shrubs, small herbaceous flowering plants and short grasses do grow (Gordon, 51). +Introduction +Motors +Antie’s motors will allow it to move around and interact with its environment and fellow ants. +There will be two individually operated motors to drive the two side wheels in lieu of legs. +A third motor will lift and lower the grippers, allowing Antie to raise and lower gripped items as an ant would by raising and lowering its head. +Three small sprayers will emit successful patroller and forager pheromones and cuticular hydrocarbons from the appropriate sacs. +These will be located in different places: the sprayer for the successful patroller pheromone will be located on the rear at the base of Antie, corresponding to the glands that researchers believe the ants drag along behind them to mark returning paths, while the successful forager and cuticular hydrocarbon sprayers will be located on the skirt. +Antie will not spray different pheromones depending on its task, on the assumption that its time in the sun will alter its hydrocarbons enough that its tasks will be recognizable to other ants. +Other insects and creatures, including other species of ants, are present in the desert, but red harvester ants seem to be relatively undisturbed by these animals (Gordon, 7-11). +Almost all motor output will be a direct function of sensory input as indicated in the following section. +Antie will have a hybrid software architecture: a subsumption hierarchy will be responsible for switching between behaviors, but many sub-behaviors will operate on a schema basis. +Pseudocode will approximate this architecture as closely as possible, and where appropriate, different subroutines running on a schema basis will be marked. +Common Behaviors +A few sub-behaviors will be necessary for more than one behavior. +To ease Antie’s on-board memory requirements and processing capabilities (and to make all the rest of the pseudocode easier for the reader to understand), I propose a few global variables and subroutines. +Though fights sometimes do break out with other red harvester ants from different nests, intraspecies interactions tend not to be aggressive (Gordon, 11). +Background +Because of this, I will ignore other ant species in the design of Antie, and will not create a fighting behavior. +Common behaviors will include a forward cruise and turning mechanism, procedures to determine the orientation towards nest and the distance from the nest when outside, in-nest navigation, an escape function for when objects are detected or bumped into, object identification and gripping, a generic algorithm for pheromone plume and chemical trail following, and the identification of other ants. +Antie will be equipped to navigate in this environment and will be designed to find seeds in sandy soil. +The Ant & the Robot +Ants of this species are of two types: breeding ants (queens and drones) and sterile female workers. +In order to orient itself toward the nest while navigating outside, Antie will need to determine which direction the nest is in and rotate toward that heading, and also how far from the nest it is at its current location. +The orientation and distance should be calculable by the polarization pattern according to the system set up by Lambrinos, et al. +Antie will therefore have a polarization function that will return a compass direction toward which it should orient in order to return home to the nest, and a distance function that will return the shortest direct distance. +We may assume that this first function will return a direction in degrees, positive or negative, and that the second function will return a distance in centimeters. +Queens and drones will not be considered in this proposal, as their behaviors and design is much more specialized and would be applicable only during the breeding season, which occurs but once per year. +The first function might look something like this: +In-nest navigation will be a function of the temperature, read by Antie’s thermometer and a light source. +To exit, Antie will seek a high temperature until the photoreceptor reaches a threshold of stimulation indicating sunlight, and to get deeper, Antie will seek a lower temperature. +The code may look something like this: +This void function will be called nestEnter(), and will take in no inputs. +To avoid bumping into things (including other ants), Antie be provided with an escape function. +Each of Antie’s eight bump sensors will cause the robot to rotate a different amount, and the sonar will cause it to rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction. +Regardless, this will be a very simple function. +I will include one example: +Little is known about brood care, as this occurs only in the deepest regions of the nest and observation would generally require the destruction of the nest. +Because this function responds to the sensors on Antie’s around the sides and only its sonar detectors will be able to detect objects in front of it, this escape function will not prevent Antie from being able to locate and pick up objects such as seeds. +Before picking objects up, however, Antie will need to identify them. +Chemical inputs will be checked to see what this object is most likely to be given its smell. +The code may look something like this: +Nest maintenance and seed processing are likewise difficult to observe in the deeper regions of the nest, but the sorting and deposition of waste dirt and nest garbage outside of the nest (midden work) occurs close enough to the surface to be observable. +Once the object has been identified, Antie may grip it and lift it. +A simple void function grip() taking in no inputs will tighten the grippers until a certain threshold of pressure is reached, at which point the grippers will be lifted for carrying. +A void function release() will perform this same action in reverse. +Antie will also need to follow several different kinds of chemical gradient trails: it will need to track the trails left by successful patrollers, and localize the source of food-odors and midden-odors. +Implementations of chemical gradient following robots using two sensors on “antennae” stalks has been successful in with analog robots in the past (Webb, 1998), regardless of the potential problem of airflow causing a disturbed gradient over evaporating pheromones. +As a partial control for the problem of imprecise sensing, a function will perform an analysis of the array information coming on from Antie’s four sensors on each stalk. +The differences between these outputs is what is being compared everywhere there is a “left_IP” or “right_IP.” +Antie will use the chemical gradient algorithm of Braitenberg’s aggressive type 2 vehicle described in his book “Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology,” as this was found through a series of experiments by Russell, et al (2003) to be very efficient when compared to several biomimetic models. +Because the same general algorithm will be followed for the localization of all three chemical traces, I will provide pseudocode for only one generic subroutine. +Note that a portion of this subroutine does run on a schema basis: +Patrolling and foraging, too, occur for the most part outside of the nest, and have therefore been studied extensively (ex., Schafer, et al, 2006; Gordon, et al, 2002; Gordon, 2002; Gordon, 1987). +Unfortunately, as of yet, no robot has managed to fool a human for more than a few seconds, and no robot has been created that can integrate itself into human society. +For the purposes of calls later in the pseudocode, I will refer to these subroutines as trailFollow(), findFood(), and findMidden(). +All three are void and take no inputs. +The final common subroutine will be one for the identification of other ants. +When both sonar sensors are stimulated simultaneously, Antie will check hydrocarbon inputs and determine whether the detected object is a nestmate. +As harvester ants tend not to engage aggressively with non-nestmates, Antie will only identify other ants as ants if they belong to its nest. +Proposal for a Red Harvester Ant Robot: Colony Infiltration and Task Switching +Antie will attempt to determine the tasks of other ants by sensing only the n-alkene levels. +Using these basic common behaviors, more complex behaviors may be coded. +Red harvester ants do not retain one task throughout their lifespan, but instead change their behaviors as is appropriate for the colony (Gordon, 1996). +Research has shown that red harvester ants switch tasks partially as a function of age (ex., Ingram, et al, 2005) and partially as a function of interactions with other workers (ex., Schafer et al, 2006; Gordon, 2002; Greene & Gordon, 2007). +As a result, I will model the three main behaviors in the order that they are to be engaged in. +Midden work, which consists of moving dirt between the inside of the nest and the outside, will occur first; patrolling, which involves a shorter overall amount of time spent outside, will occur second; and foraging will be the final behavior. +Finally, I will discuss a main method encoding the task switching between these behaviors. +The midden work behavior will be Antie’s default initial behavior. +It will be initiated in the morning by the sunrise, and will continue until the outside temperature reaches 52­­­oC, at which point all red harvester ants must return to the nest. +As previously stated, a midden worker must identify midden, grasp it, and carry it to the surface, depositing it halfway down the mound before returning to collect more midden. +The second behavior, patrolling, involves two sub-behaviors: nest patrolling and trail patrolling. +Nest patrolling will involve leaving the nest, roaming around on the nest mound for a few minutes, and reentering the nest. +Research shows that ants do change their behaviors based partly on their perceived life expectancy (Moron, et al, 2007), and that task-switching is partly genetically controlled by a switch in gene expression as the individual ages (Ingram, et al, 2005). +It is therefore reasonable to assign a constant age at which Antie will switch from nest patrolling to trail patrolling. +In order to perform both of these functions, Antie will need a subroutine to explore in a zig-zag fashion, as harvester ants do (Gordon, 34). +Harvester ants display a preference to wander in familiar territory, though foragers and patrollers do sometimes wander into other nests’ territories (Gordon, 57-60). +In the case of midden work, Antie must be able to identify garbage, grasp it, carry it out of the nest, and deposit it about halfway down the mound before returning to repeat the process ad infinitum (or until stimulated to switch behaviors). +This model is reasonable because patrollers and foragers change their explored territory from day to day, even though they do retain some more commonly chosen paths (Gordon, 45). +Patrolling may be divided into two distinct sub-behaviors, nest patrolling and trail patrolling. +Nest patrollers will only call this behavior for a short distance before returning to the nest to idle for a few minutes and exit again. +Trail patrollers will go much further, until food sources are found, and will then orient towards the nest and create trails for the foragers to follow. +An ant engaged in nest patrolling must exit the nest at the proper time in the morning and wander about for a bit on the nest mound, presumably taking measurements of the temperature and humidity in some way and making sure that it is safe for the other ants to exit. +A general site of food is all that the patroller need find; the foragers will dig through the sand for the food. +Code for the patrolling behavior might look like this (note that part is on a schema basis): +The integers nestpatrol_age and trailpatrol_age will represent the ages at which it is appropriate to switch to these tasks. +Perhaps the level of degradation of the nest patrollers’ cuticular hydrocarbons after this short foray into the sun and heat acts as an indication of the outside conditions to the foragers, who may then, upon smelling the returning patroller, be stimulated either to forage or to remain inactive inside the nest. +The final behavior, foraging, will involve one extra subroutine that will employ an algorithm designed by R. +Andrew Russell to localize an object through sand based on a chemical plume. +This will emulate the digging that foragers must often do in order to locate seeds, and will enable Antie to accurately retrieve seeds for its host nest. +This algorithm will keep track of the last two intensities of the desired chemical input and compare them. +It would also keep track of whether the last rotation was clockwise or counter-clockwise. +The code for this, adapted from Russell’s paper, might look like this: +Foragers will follow trails marked by patrollers to their conclusion before collecting food to bring back to the nest, even if more tantalizing food presents itself in their path (Gordon, 47). +To address this, a strict subsumption hierarchy will make sure that the foragers do not stop to collect food too soon. +The code might look like this: +An ant engaged in trail patrolling must exit the nest, wander around searching for food sources, identify food upon discovery and return to the nest to show the foragers where the food is. +Of course, what makes Antie an innovative robot is the task-switching between these larger behaviors. +Because the midden work behavior is Antie’s initial default behavior, I will not address task switching to midden work. +Workers probably switch to patrolling based on their perceived life expectancy and as a function of a gene whose expression changes between young and old ants, and this is easily emulated using a clock pulse counter in Antie’s CPU that will count its “age” since last boot. +To remind the reader, this technique was implemented earlier in this proposal to create the limited task-switching between nest patrolling and trail patrolling. +The switch from patrolling to foraging has been modeled as a function of successful foragers’ returns with great accuracy by Schafer, et al (2006), and evidence from experiments in which successful foragers were removed before reentry to the nest does support the theory that returning successful foragers have an effect on the activation of new foragers (Gordon, 2002). +Infiltrating insect societies, however, is much simpler. +This is thought to be accomplished by the deposition of chemical markers from a gland on the abdomen that the patroller drags along the ground on her return route to the nest that the foragers may then follow (Gordon, 33-34; Holldobler et al, 1990, as cited in Webb, 1998). +Activated foragers form a queue to exit the nest and exit at a steady rate. +According to Schafer’s, et al. model of forager activation, every time a successful forager returns and no foragers are currently in line to exit, a fraction (modeled at 0.0035) of inactive foragers joins the queue. +For the purposes of modeling Antie, I will assume that the switches between these behaviors are permanent, irreversible and partly a function of age, with new foragers being activated by returning successful foragers. +The code to model this task-switching might look something like this: +Conclusion +Antie will be a fully autonomous, situated and embodied agent, infiltrating a red harvester ant colony and providing valuable information not only about the hypothesized rules of these ants’ behaviors and their task-switching thresholds, but also about the combination of complex behaviors into a single autonomous system with the ability to switch between behaviors as necessary. +In addition to following these trails to the food, foragers must also be able to identify food, grasp it and carry it back to the nest. +Biomimetic robots have long been a rich source of information for both biologists and robotics engineers, and complex robots that can switch tasks as the situation demands and communicate information about current tasks could be useful for further studies of complex robot behaviors as well as for the obvious practical applications of robot swarms, such as on the battlefield and standard building maintenance. +REFERENCES +Ants engaged in all three behaviors must be able to identify other nestmates and their current tasks (as well as indicate to other ants their own nestmate status and current task), walk, navigate both within and outside of the nest, and of course switch tasks at appropriate times. +Extensive research has been done on the interactions of social insects such as honeybees, ants and cockroaches, and in fact robots have passed undetected in cockroach society performing single simple behaviors already (Halloy et al, 2007). +The Agent +Chassis +Antie will be implemented on a tiny Road Warrior robotic system. +Behaviors will be coded in Interactive C, for which some pseudocode is included. +Sensors will include a thermometer, photoreceptors, bump sensors, a polarization compass, and a series of chemical receptors. +Antie be a circular robot, no more than 1cm in diameter (the length of a red harvester ant), with two driving wheels and one rear wheel for stabilization. +A gripper will be located on the front of the robot consisting of two elongated tongs. +Antie will also feature a skirt of bump sensors, sonar detectors and chemical emitters, including sacs of hydrocarbons extracted from ants of the nest being infiltrated and pheromones for successful patrolling and foraging. +These sacs will be refilled at a filling station each morning as Antie determines that they are getting depleted. +Antie will likewise recharge at a special station at night just inside the nest entrance. +For the purposes of this proposal, I will assume that Antie has enough battery life to remain powered the whole day. +Sensors +In an attempt to mimic the red harvester ant as closely as possible, these sensors include a thermometer, photoreceptors, bump sensors and sonar, a polarization compass, and a series of chemical receptors on a pair of stalks corresponding to the antennae. +On its front grippers, Antie will have a tactile skin to sense pressure. +The thermometer will be located on the rear of the robot to keep it out of the way, and will detect and input to the robot the outside temperature in degrees Celsius. +Harvester ants do not exit the nest when the outside temperature is above 52 degrees Celsius (Gordon, 9), and the ability to use a temperature gradient will enable in-nest navigation. +Antie will also be equipped with one photoreceptor located in the middle of the top of its chassis corresponding to the ant’s eyes. +These will be useful for initiating patrolling behavior in the morning and shutting off behaviors at night: the patrollers first poke their heads out of the nest shortly after sunrise and scuttle back in at night (Gordon, 5). +No robot has yet been constructed, however, that could pass undetected within a colony of the red harvester ants species Pogonomyrmex barbatus; nor has a robot managed to pass undetected in a society of insects while combining in its design several different behaviors and the thresholds of stimulation required to switch between them. +The bump sensors and sonar will form a skirt around Antie to keep it from colliding with other objects. +The sonar will constantly be detecting nearby objects and initiate an escape maneuver when their inputs pass a certain threshold of stimulation, and the bump sensors will, when depressed, also initiate the escape function. +The sonar will correspond to the ant’s limited optical object detection ability, and the bump sensors will allow the robot to detect collisions. +The polarization compass will consist of two polarized light sensors placed at 45 and -45 degrees from the center front of Antie, respectively, that will orient Antie towards a desired polarization pattern. +These sensors would correspond to the cells in the ants’ eyes sensitive to polarized light, and research has shown that many insects, including ants, do navigate using a path integration system synthesizing input from a polarization compasses and from a sort of odometer (Labhart, et al, 2002). +Antie would use a system for processing the input from its polarization compass based on the compass designed by Lambrinos, Moller, Labhart, Pfeifer and Wehner in 2000, consisting of two photodiodes with blue filters and polarizers. +The difference of their logarithmized signals would be returned to Antie, who will use a simultaneous model to navigate returns to the nest: Upon each exit from the nest, Antie will take a single 360o scan of the sky, and will orient itself according to an analytical procedure to derive compass information from different polarization patterns perceived later. +This should be sufficient to return Antie to the nest, given the accuracy achieved by Lambrinos, et al and the relatively short periods of time that harvester ants spend outside the nest before returning. +True, the USA has not suffered a successful major attack since 9/11, but this does not mean that we are safer. +The

IS TERRORISM? +TERRORISM is "the systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. +We believe that any terrorist act is a crime against humanity and against the will of God, because it deliberately intends to injure and kill innocent people. +Three years have now gone by since the September 11th attacks in 2001, and terrorism is a far greater threat to us now than it was then. +NEUTRALIZING TERRORISM +Our purpose here is to NEUTRALIZE TERRORISM by removing the motivation for it. +Without motivation, terrorism will quickly die down, like a plant without water. +We completely reject the idea that terrorism can be defeated by brute force, because brute force radicalizes the moderates, and they then join the terrorists. +So you end up fighting the entire population. +Brute force has failed in Palestine, and it is failing in Iraq. +And the second-greatest terrorist threat comes from several countries, mainly Israel, who sometimes resort to terrorism themselves, claiming "self-defense," as they desperately try to prevent further attacks by radical Muslims. +In all of these cases above, if the radical Muslims would cease their attacks, all terrorism on both sides of every dispute would quickly end. +Beyond these two sources, there is virtually no terrorist activity in the world, with the possible exception of localized disputes such as in Northern Ireland and occasional domestic episodes in various places involving isolated disaffected groups. +The number and severity of terrorist attacks worldwide has increased dramatically, as has the number of active terrorists. +They need to be identified and attacked. +If the terrorist loses faith in the righteousness of his acts, he is less likely to perform them. +EXAMPLE 1: "Terrorists Offend Allah." +EXAMPLE 2: "Terrorist Murderers Insult Allah, Bring Shame To Islam" +EXAMPLE 3 (LATEST AND BEST! - Framed Below): "Qur'an Forbids Terrorism" +In every case of terrorism, we will find some kind of legitimate underlying grievance. +Is this "negotiating with terrorists" or "trying to appease the terrorists," as some Israeli/NeoCons would try to say? +No. +It is simply recognizing the realities of human motivation, right or wrong. +The Anti-Terrorist - Undermining The Motivation For Terrorism +To deny reality, as the Israeli/NeoCons do, is to invite disaster, as they have done. +BIG PICTURE +A big picture of our entire Anti-Terrorism strategy can be found at our website +Blessings to you. +Before 9/11,

Bill McGinnis , Director - LoveAllPeople.org +Now, many more moderate Muslims have become radicalized, world-wide, willing to kill innocent civilians in order to achieve their purposes. +And the serious targets have expanded to include civilians in Russia, India, Maylasia, the Philippines, Spain, and elsewhere, as well as Israel and its sole supporter, the United States. +Paul Wilson describes the transition from the Introduction to the Exposition as “quite abrupt and seemingly unmotivated,” +Wilson, 173. +but it is in fact this motivic relationship that ties them together and creates a rather smooth transition. +The Exposition +Although the motivic relationship between the Introduction and the first theme of the exposition smooth the transition, nearly every other element changes when the first theme appears. +Harmonic Structure and Form +The drastic tempo and meter changes as well as the first appearances of staccato articulations make it clear to the listener that the introduction is over. +As mentioned, the first theme, the beginning of which is reproduced in Example 8, contains two head motives: the first is the tritone-spanning ascent that appears in the first measure, and the second is an iteration of the interval cell (+5, -2, +5) that appears in the second through third measures. +Bartók describes the form of the first movement as “more or less regular sonata form.” +While the presence of the perfect fourths that was so prevalent in the Introduction is clear in the latter, the former does not employ the perfect fourth in its formation. +Rather, this motive is a small-scale representation of the tonic-dominant relationship of tritone partners, specifically F and B, that is the basis for the harmonic structure of this movement. +Rhythmically, we have a dissonance between the melody, which follows the written meter, and the accompanying chords in the bassoons, horns and lower strings. +As Example 10 shows, the chords are more-or-less in duple meter (4/8 and 2/8) with one “hiccup” occurring in the 5/8 measure. +This is in strict metric dissonance with the triple meter of the melody (with its own “hiccups” occurring in the written 2/8 measures). +As we will later see, this dissonance disappears when this theme returns in the recapitulation. +While that does not seem to be a meaningful assertion, it is perfectly accurate: the movement is in sonata form, but there is an introduction that does not relate thematically to any other parts of the movement (not unheard of in Mozart sonatas), and the recapitulation presents the two themes of the exposition in reverse order. +We have already mentioned that the first theme group is in F—this is made clear from the onset, both in the melodic line and by the F minor triad that occurs on the downbeat of measure 77. +While the material occasionally departs from this F in measures 76-94, these departures are all subordinate to the prolonged F. +E♭ is the tonal center for measures 95-134, although it does not appear as a strong bass note until measure 131. +Measures 95-130 contain a mostly chromatic descent from C to E♭, where E♭ is anticipated throughout as a goal tone for the bass. +Example 11 illustrates this structure. +Note that the initial G♯ is a pickup to the section in C♯, which fills in the whole-tone descent from E♭ to C♯ with the intervening fourth. +This motive also contains the intervallic cell of the second head motive of the first theme in the form of G♯-C♯-B-E (with the addition of some passing tones), in addition to consisting largely of motion by perfect fourths. +Wilson claims that C and E♭ are “local dominants” to F in this first section of the exposition. +While the strong V-I motion from measures 90-91 does carry a tonal implication of dominant-tonic, such cadential bass motion does not imply anything about structural function in this context. +E♭, furthermore, is not convincingly established as a dominant-functioning tone at all. +The passage from measures 85-89 is centered on E♭ (and the pentatonic set from the opening of the exposition is transposed down a whole step), but its mere presence as local tonic does not signify any sort of dominant function. +Rather, we can consider this occurrence of E♭ as a middleground-level whole-tone descent that foreshadows the structural descent to E♭ at measure 131 that is represented in Example 2. +However, as previously mentioned, C acts as a “fake” dominant that in measures 149-155 actually functions as an upper neighbor to B, the “true” dominant. +The descent in measures 91-95 in fact participates in the farce by projecting a descent ending on C, which makes the eventual reinterpretation of C and descent to B stronger. +This creates both a smooth transition to the second theme and a strong sense that a new section is beginning, a combination that is generally rather difficult to forge. +The second theme is tranquil and harmonically simple, which is in stark contrast to the first theme. +B dominates as tonal center from measures 155-191 with little or no harmonic motion away from it. +The “backwards” recapitulation is a technique that Bartók employs frequently because of the formal symmetry it creates. +A♭ intervenes between E♭ and D♭ in measure 195—another instance of the whole-tone being “filled in” by a fourth. +Hence, measures 155-210 constitute the bass progression B-E♭-D♭-B; the same stepwise descent (E♭-D♭) occurred in the first theme group while F rather than B was being prolonged. +In our terminology, this is the point at which B is unequivocally established as the structural dominant. +The Development +As mentioned, the development is divided into three subsections. +In Example 2, the entire development section is represented by exactly three pitches, and indeed each subsection is associated with one of these three pitches as its tonal center—none of these pitches is involved in the structural whole-tone descent. +As Paul Wilson states, the development “is, for Bartók’s music, developmental in a relatively conventional way”; the themes from the exposition are expanded and modified, and tonalities other than those expected arise. +“is, for Bartók’s music, developmental in a relatively conventional way” +For example, the fifth string quartet. +The only slight abnormality, though it is certainly not unheard of even in classical-period sonata movements, is the emergence of a new theme in the second section of the development. +Although Wilson claims that this theme is based on “a transformation in rhythm and contour of the second head-motive of [the first-theme],” +“a transformation in rhythm and contour of the second head-motive of [the first-theme],” +Also see Bartók’s comments on that (Bartók, 414). +there is no intervallic relationship between the two motives, and it is not clear what elements of a motive remain when rhythm, contour and interval content are changed. +Before beginning an analysis of any piece by Béla Bartók, one must first decide to what degree tonal analysis will be used. +Furthermore, this section, being the middle section of the movement, upholds the formal symmetry if interpreted as its own theme. +The first section of the development, measures 231-271, begins with a big D-minor chord which immediately establishes D as the tonal center for the section. +Although it moves to E♭ minor in measure 239, it returns to D minor in measure 248, which suggests that E♭ is an upper neighbor prolonging D. +Example 1 shows a diagram of the form of the movement; the symmetry is apparent within the seven sections following the introduction. +The passage beginning at measure 248, shown in Example 13, can be considered to be the “theme” of this section, and is a development of the second head motive of the first theme. +This motive undergoes inversion and extension throughout the section. +The second section of the development is in C♯ (which is sometimes spelled D♭). +This section is reproduced as Example 14. +This section returns to the calm simplicity (and tempo) of the second section, though apart from affect there are no references to that section. +Although the C♯ major chord in measure 293, preceded by A♭ major (V) in measure 285, suggests C♯ as tonal center, the tonality is not strongly established until measure 303. +Because of its emphasis here in the development section and its position as leading to B in the second theme group, we could conceive of C# as a sub-dominant in this movement. +As the example shows, the development section is divided into three subsections; the first and third subsections draw their thematic material from the first theme group, and the second subsection involves new material not drawn from the exposition. +The third section of the development takes the trombone motive from the transition between the first and second sections of the exposition shown in Example 12, transposed to begin on F, and turns it into a fugato sequence, reproduced in Example 17. +The tonal center B♭ is established immediately in measures 316-318 by the strong V-I chord progression (Example 16). +As previously mentioned, the fugato motive incorporates the motion by perfect fourths found in the Introduction as well as the intervallic cell found in the second head motive of the first theme. +The resultant set is the pentatonic set F-B♭-E♭-A♭-D♭; the entire passage shown in Example 17 remains within this set. +The second and fourth entrances of the fugato subject are transposed up a perfect fifth, but the first note is B♭ rather than C, which allows Bartók to remain in this pentatonic set (and also to reinforce B♭ as tonal center). +The second instance of the fugato section, not reproduced in its entirety but based on the subject in Example 18, is an exact pitch inversion transposed to begin on C. +The inversion blends seamlessly back into the original subject in measure 363. +The following section (measures 363-389) especially brings out the quartal harmonies within the pentatonic set, so much so that B♭ is obscured as tonal center which allows A♭ to emerge as the goal tone of this section—only to be immediately reinterpreted as a leading tone to the A that begins the recapitulation. +Both B♭ and A♭ are chromatic neighbors to A, which intensifies the arrival on A, and brings out the fact that the appearance of A continues the large-scale whole-tone descent that has been left stranded on B for the entire development section. +Hence, on either side of the middle section of the development we have the alternation FTG-STG-FTG which makes the overall form, with the exception of the Introduction, symmetric. +The Recapitulation +The recapitulation, as we have seen, presents the themes in reverse order. +The second theme is initially presented in A, as part of the whole-tone descent, and proceeds directly to G, where it is restated slightly modified. +It is worth pointing out that the arrival on G at measure 425 is led into by D, which constitutes another “filling in” of the whole-step by the intervening fourth. +The A♯ in measure 438 might initially seem to be a new tonal area, but it leads to D in measure 444, which constitutes a V chord still applied to G. +Rather than resolve this D back to G, however, Bartók shifts briefly to F♯ in measure 456 and leads to E in measure 467. +E and F♯ are both active throughout the entire transition from second theme back to first theme (measures 456-487) which brings out their functions as upper and lower chromatic neighbors to F, which returns triumphantly in measure 488 with the much-anticipated recapitulation of the first theme. +The return of the first theme is certainly immediately recognized as such; however, there are some important differences. +Firstly, its initial appearance in the exposition had a minor flare to it; the first chord in Example 9 is an F-minor triad, and the first four notes of Example 8 ascend the F-minor scale. +In the recapitulation of this theme, shown in Example 19, the first chord is an F-major chord, and the A♭ is replaced by A♮ in the melody. +In fact, the chord progression of the first four measures of Example 19 can be thought of tonally as I-vi-V in F major—while we are reluctant to say that this passage is in major (the conspicuous A♭ in measure 490 easily brings doubt to this interpretation), we can certainly say that the minor flare of the beginning has been replaced by a major flare here in the recapitulation. +Paul Wilson also discusses the inherent symmetry of the movement, although his interpretation is somewhat different. +In addition to the “mode”-shift, we notice that the metric dissonance shown in Examples 9 and 10 no longer appears (notice how regular the rhythm of the accompanying figure is in Example 19) and also that the written meter no longer changes. +In other words, the piece, in becoming more regular, is beginning to drive towards the finish—because of the formal structure, the recapitulation of the first theme also serves as the closing section of the movement. +Indeed, this section has the feel of a Coda to it—it is much shorter than any other major section or subsection, and the tonic harmony is active throughout. +See Wilson, 168-170. +Bartók is one of the many early-twentieth century composers whose music fits entirely in the gray area between tonality and atonality. +While we know from his writings that he often composed with a tonal centers and relationships in mind, and that he regularly applied tonal structures and forms to his compositions, by merely glancing at any one of his pieces we can see that tonality as it is understood in the common practice period is not at work. +Thanks largely to the work of tonal theorists such as Heinrich Schenker and others, we have a detailed system for analyzing tonal music—their system, however, is virtually useless in analyzing music that falls entirely on the atonal side of the spectrum. +But if we apply it to music such as Bartók’s that is in the middle area, we can come up with some enlightening and perhaps unexpected results. +To do so was the goal of this analysis of the first movement of the Concerto for Orchestra. +By applying our tonal system to music that slips outside of the tonal realm, we not only find the elements of tonality that do remain, but we also pinpoint exactly when and how this music breaks from previous conventions. +It is not disputed that Bartók’s music has great expressive power—perhaps now we can understand why. +References +The abbreviations FTG and STG stand for First Theme Group and Second Theme Group, respectively. +While “tonality” in this piece (and in Bartók’s music in general) is quite different from its classical interpretation, we find that the harmonic structure is at least analogous to the standard sonata-form structure. +Bartók’s music, although it is often difficult to call completely tonal, never entirely sheds itself of tonal elements and structure. +To begin with, the movement is in F. +When we say “in F,” we do not imply F major (or minor, for that matter)—the major/minor tonal system in general does not apply to this piece—but rather that the pitch-class F is the tonal center of the movement, and acts analogously to the tonic in a Mozartian sonata movement. +Using this interpretation, we can map out the local tonics (tonal centers) used throughout the movement, as shown in Example 2. +Tonal Structure and Form in Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra (I) +In this example, the barlines divide the formal sections of the piece (Introduction–Exposition–Development­–Recapitulation)—so we can immediately see that the tonic F is not established until the exposition begins. +Beginning with the exposition, the large-scale progression of tonal centers is a whole-tone descent from F to F, represented by the stemmed notes in Example 2, while the Introduction ascends from C♯ to F through D♯ (shown as D♭ and E♭ in the graph) in a quasi-bass Anstieg. +The middle pitch of the descent, B, acts as the “dominant” to F, based on its symmetrical division of the whole-tone scale and the fact that the second theme appears in B in the exposition. +This remains true even with one of his last compositions, the Concerto for Orchestra, written two years before his death in 1943. +Bartók has often applied a tonic-dominant relationship to a pitch-class and its tritone partner, and even admits to using that as a compositional framework in his fifth string quartet. +See Bartók, 414-415. +In this particular movement, Bartók feigns moving to the tonal dominant, C, for the second theme before reinterpreting C as a chromatic passing tone between D♭ and B—this and other subtleties shown in Example 2 will be explained in detail in later sections. +Our analysis will focus instead on relating the foreground activity to the overarching background structure. +The graph in Example 2 will serve as a point of departure for the subsequent analysis; while we will periodically refer back to some of its specific elements, it should be understood that even when not explicitly referenced, this graph serves as the explanatory goal of this paper. +The Introduction +As Paul Wilson points out, the title “Introduzione” given to the movement as a whole seems to apply only to the first 75 measures. +The discussion that follows analyzes the first movement of the Concerto, focusing on the tonal structures at play throughout the movement. +The Introduction does not relate thematically to any of the main sections of the movement—in fact, it is the third movement that draws its thematic material from this section—but the harmonic and motivic principles at play here foreshadow some important elements of the entire piece. +To begin with, the opening motive in the celli and basses, shown in Example 3, outlines a pentatonic set and strongly presents C♯ as the tonal center. +The pentatonic set here is exclusively a pitch-class set, and its incarnations throughout the movement are devoid of any connotations associated with the pentatonic scale. +Indeed, this set can be seen more as a by-product of stacked perfect fourths than a generative element itself. +The perfect fourth in fact generates much of the motivic and harmonic material of the entire movement, and its importance is immediately evident in the Introduction with the opening bass motive. +Furthermore, the following two instances of this opening motive, shown in Examples 4 and 5, remove any doubt as to the motivic importance of the perfect fourth, and in turn diminish the importance of the pentatonic set. +Example 4 transitions from C♯ to F♯, and adds pitch-class E to the pentatonic set of Example 3, creating a six-note set of stacked fourths. +Example 5 shows the true dominance of the perfect fourth; the set created is a ten-note set derived by stacking fourths. +If we begin from the final D♯ and ascend the circle of fourths until we reach C we obtain the entire set presented in this example. +Each note is either approached or left (or both) by a fourth, and the structural motion is from F♯ to D♯. +The overall motion in the first 29 measures is C♯ to D♯, through F♯; these are represented enharmonically in Example 2 as D♭, E♭ and G♭. +So the prevailing structural motion of the movement as a whole is a descending whole step and the prevailing melodic motion is a (usually ascending) perfect fourth. +We can connect the two by noting that the descending whole step consists of two ascending fourths; indeed, the structural whole-tone descent is often “filled in” with the intervening fourth. +This motion is exemplified in Example 2 in the second theme group (mm. +We will also examine to what degree a “tonal” reading of this movement is limited in its analytical potential in an attempt to pinpoint exactly where Bartók strays from common-practice compositional techniques. +Each time the motion in Examples 3 through 5 breaks from chains of fourths, the same sequence of intervals occurs: two descending perfect fourths separated by an ascending major second (-5, +2, -5); each instance of this intervallic cell is bracketed in the examples. +This sequence of intervals is the inversion of those found in the second head motive of the first theme of the exposition, shown in measures 2-3 of Example 8. +So although there is no thematic relation between the Introduction and the main sections of the movement, within the first 29 measures we can already see structural, harmonic and motivic elements that apply to the movement as a whole. +The section from measures 35-50 is centered on E; upon the return of D♯, enharmonically respelled as E♭, in measure 58, we see that E acts as its upper-neighbor. +This relationship is somewhat obscured by measures 51-57 however; while there is no clear tonal center for this section, G appears in the outer voices in measure 51, although the harmonic material is reminiscent of C minor. +The concluding motive of this section in the violins (the bracketed sections of Example 6), as well as the bass motive of measure 58ff. +(Example 7), are related to the first head motive of the first theme, which is shown in the first measure of Example 8. +All three of these motives span a tritone, which as mentioned is the “dominant” relationship in this movement. +For this reason white walls are favored over colored ones for both galleries and architectural spaces. +Why in a world filled with color do we feel the need to purge it from our space? +“In the white painted room the clarity of spatial sensation and disposition was surest and most convincing, all the details of the form and color of the furnishings could be developed undisturbed in front of this background…In this a form was discovered which was completely convincing in its simplicity and which could be seen as one of the essential formulas for wall treatment in “closed” spaces” +In the 19th century it became fashionable for bourgeois women to dress in white, while men dressed in black (Wigley). +What exactly is the debate between colorlessness vs color and more specifically can black and white be considered non-colors? +These distinctions proved a certain rational order, only attained by those able to afford of it. +White walls, white clothing, they both require much more maintenance than something colored where a stain can merely hide away among the other colors. +Crisp whiteness on the other hand expresses a sort of luxury, and leisure. +White clothing proved that someone was of a level of society in which they were not forced to work, for the clothing would immediately become soiled if not and thus the reason why women who were the ones to stay at home dressed in all white, while men who were the ones to go out and work wore black, for black did in fact hide stains. +Both as well were signs of the modern age man had reached. +“Pure white was de rigueur, partly because of its exciting novelty, partly because it emphasized the smoothly mechanical texture, and pointed the contrast between it and surrounding nature” +The use of white was proof that man had conquered nature. +The use of white and black in dress and architecture also became a way of distinguishing oneself from the vulgar, normal, lower classes. +Ever since the dawn of man, human society has evolved in ways which attempt to ultimately control nature. +Furthermore, with the advent of industrialization the invention of new synthetic dyes meant that color in dress became democratized for all classes. +Now, anyone could afford to wear colorful clothing and the masses began to dress themselves in what once would have been inconceivable to them. +Thus said, the use of black in white in wardrobe perhaps was a way for the new bourgeoisie to distinguish themselves from the decadence of the upper class and the vulgarity from the low. +“In the prevailing styles of the European bourgeoisie, there long survived a tendency to limit the use of color, with strong emphasis on what are generally thought of as non colors, such as white, black and gray” +Seeing as color is something of the natural world, age old and archaic, washing it away from our lives is the ultimate form of rising above the physical world. +Another reason why it is believed that the bourgeoisie took preference in black and white is because of the Victorian sobriety of the age and their obsession with purity and cleanliness. +Wearing black and white also marked the distinction of labor between men and women and in a highly rigid and segmented society, the wearing of different colors seemed the most obvious way to do so. +This simplicity of dress was seen as a mark of the modern man. +Other major technologies during the age of industrialization also had an effect on this preference for black and white. +Photography took over as a means of portraiture for the bourgeois and the upper class and despite the fact that it was possible to color the photographs, for the most part they were left in black and white because it was seen as more “natural”. +Above all, it is believed that the expanse of literacy and the printed word, mainly the newspaper, had a profound effect in influencing the choice of black and white. +“This world was viewed as orderly and relatively uniform, a world in “black and white” +This led to the idea of writing = rationality = production that confined images, especially images in color, to the emerging field of “art”, which was understood as an essential activity but one that was essentially unproductive, while it assigned to the two-toned and orderly world of printed paper the role of a daily guide to existence” +Black and white became a symbol for the superiority of man’s intellect and technology. +This then translated down into the world of fashion, as seen with the distinction between black and white clothing, as well as art, namely photography but also film and as discussed before architecture and gallery space. +Seeing as since the time of Aristotle, form was valued over that of color, the arts which did not require color to be enjoyed were perceived to be that of a higher form. +The explosion of mass production and printing allowed for a plethora of colorful advertising and consumer goods which came to be known as kitsch. +“Kitsch is a product of the industrial revolution which urbanized the masses of Western Europe and America and established what is called universal literacy” +Kitsch made cheap what once was truly cultural by the way it reproduced it d infinitum. +Greenberg continues by saying, “Kitsch, using for raw material the debased and academicized simulacra of genuine culture, welcomes and cultivates this insensibility. +It is the source of its profits. Kitsch is mechanical and operates by formulas. +Kitsch is vicarious experience and faked sensations. +Kitsch changes according to style, but remains always the same. +Kitsch is the epitome of all that is spurious in the life of our times. +Kitsch pretends to demand nothing of its customers except their money -- not even their time”. +With the advent of kitsch came a great need for the distinction between higher and lower artforms. +Inorganic nature has only the language of color. +Thus said, this along with the influence of black and white print perhaps was the cause for the belief that which was black and white was deemed a serious, high art, while that which was colorful was mere rubbish and imitation for the lower classes. +Of course during the early stages of color film and photography, the quality was so poor that it gave a cheap look, whereas black and white film really allowed one to see the light and the shadows in the images. +For the play of light and form was key in demonstrating the true art form. +It is by color alone that a certain stone tells us it is a sapphire or emerald… color, then, is the peculiar characteristic of the lower forms of nature, while drawing becomes the medium of expression, more and more dominant, the higher we rise in the scale of being” +That was what made up the essence of an image, not the artificial, or superficial filling in of form with color. +Color was thought to distract the viewer from the soul of the image. +These beliefs have changed since color technology as tweeked to the point of being almost better than reality. +Still though black and white is seen as something of a more sober tradition. +These non colors allow for the appreciation of color. +When something is black and white, it allows the mind to fill in and imagine for itself the amazing colors that must exist beyond the screen. +It is for this reason that ultimately the use of black and white is seen as more of an intellectual process. +Whether it mean going beyond the mind or simply the purity of non color, the use of black and white has been debated over for the last hundred years. +Now we have entered an era where we are seeing once again more color, but perhaps it is human instinct, to want to surpass and rebel against generations before, so possibly we shall return to a state of non color veneration. +Thus is the ebb and flow of life. +The world is made up of a myriad of colors. color gives distinction to our life, it gives flavor and meaning. +In the Far East, reaching a state of colorless-ness is associated with the highest state of spiritual being, the state of Zen. +What is typical of this sort of ascetism is the art of expressing as much as possible using the minimum as an ideal. +For them, reaching the greatest depths of spirituality demanded expression in its most minimal form. +This reduction of color and expression proved the purity the artist had reached within himself, it was a means of reducing down to the essence of a thing. +In the Elimination of color in the Far East, Izutsu explains though how this ultimate state of minimalism can only be reached through an appreciation and fine knowledge of color. +“This artistic acestism, i.e., the suppression of externals and the reduction of all colors to black and white, manifests its real aesthetic function only against the background of a highly refined sensibility for colors and their subtle hues. +What would our lives be without color? +At the same time in our modern society, color has been seen as an external threat to be purged from the enlightened mind and space. +For black and white can only be seen as distinguishing against a background of color and for this very reason one can assert that both black and white are colors in themselves as non-colors. +It is through the absence of color that one brings to mind the colors that are no longer present. +It is up to the mind to fill in the blank space. +Without color one could not appreciate the purity of the black and white space. +Black and white are the consummation of all colors into one. +“Black is life; it is the infinite possibility of expression and development. Black here is not sheer black. +For in it’s negation of all colors, all colors are positively affirmed” +It is through these means that one finds the essence in a thing. +In Western society, this purging of color began with the rejection of ideals of generations past. +Eliminating color was a way of eliminating the decadence of the 18th century. +Society turned to minimalism as a way of cleansing life, representing modernity. +color became a moral issue, seen as something sensuous and dangerous in its secondary nature to the essence of life and form. +color is seen as corrupting, intoxicating, disorienting and in art, has come to be associated with the vulgar and the kitsch. +“The predominance of color at the expense of drawing is a usurpation of the relative over the absolute, of fleeting appearance over permanent form, of physical impression over the empire of the soul” +color rests on the surface of an object, it is superficial, cosmetic and therefore deceptive since it hides the true nature of that thing. +It is something which speaks to the senses, not the mind, it is external and therefore secondary to life. +It deals with the body, emotions, not the intellect. +It strays from reason in the way which it consumes and manipulates life. +It is a descent in the way it makes one lose consciousness and enter into the physical world of desire, and to desire is to lose control over oneself. +We went from times of celebrating color and decoration to one of minimalism where black and white were placed at the front as representations of modernity and ultimate transcendence. +Thus, began the cult of the black and white. +White is seen as representing spirituality, the heavens, and light, it is all which is modern, it signifies the opposite of the carnal nature of color. +It is the control of nature, and the body and represents the modern man. +“WHITE is the spiritual color of our times, the clearness which directs all out actions. +It is neither grey white, nor vory white, but pure white. +WHITE is the color of modern times, the color which dissipates a whole era; our era is perfection, purity, certitude. +We have superceded both the ‘brown’ of decadence and classiscm and the ‘blue’ of divisionism, the cult of the blue ky, the gods with green beards and the spectrum. +WHITE pure white. +For these reasons black and white have been placed at the top of the hierarchy of colors. +Abolishing color means controlling color. +It keeps an eye on all the objects it frames. +But before that, it keeps an eye on itself, watching its freshly laundered and neatly folded fabric for the stain of color” +On the other hand, we need color in order to distinguish black and white. +Just as those from the Far East, the purity of white implies what has been washed away and thus makes the white glitter even more. +They are linked intrinsically together, one cannot go without the other. +“White is the setting for color. +In a mosque for example, the architectonic effect of its white garment is assisted by a strategic use of color: “All these things are clothed in a majestic coat of whitewash. +The forms stand out clearly; the impeccable construction displays all its boldness. +What is the significance for this preference for black and white when it comes to high art? +At times a high stylobate of delightful ceramic produces a blue vibration.” +The sensuous vibration of the color clarifies the white surface whose limit it marks” +We need this opposition between color and ‘non-color’ to make distinction between the two, otherwise neither would hold such significance. +Reaching Transcendence through the Elimination of color: The Ideal Minimalism of Black and White +White helps to harmonize colors that would otherwise clash, it brings together and unites. +“White expresses a certain incorporeality. +The use of white is therefore decisive for the bodily appearance of a space. +Concrete bodies decrease the space more or less depending on their color value. +Against white, one can actually establish the intensity of clashing colors; white determines the tone in the first place. +and how can the state legislature single out two counties (first Napa, now Sonoma) for this treatment? +are they going to go through the wine-producing counties one by one? +JohnLopresti said... +vive la OIVV OIV_Wine_Labelling_Standard_EN_2006 re at Fredric K's BTYH website there is a review discussing MacRostie pinot noir. +I had thought of the kiltman with respect to a new AVA in Yorkville highlands, thinking the Scot might have interest in playing the bagpipes in the uplands. +Then, at Steve's site there is an interesting discussion of his current ongoing efforts with blends from Carneros and Sonoma Coast. +There are 13 AVAs in Sonoma County. +It's easy to get lost in nomenclatures, when one is striving for new concepts. +In a way, all this tries to approach terroir from a slight distance; plus the historical distinctions between the two premium distinctive varietal regions, Napa county and Sonoma county. +Winkler heat summation datapoints also clarified several decades ago some of the plant physiologic underpinnings of why Napa county and Sonoma county were the natural leaders in premium winegrape production. +The problem, of course, is that by placing the words "Sonoma County" on a bottle of wine that is made with grapes grown in "Russian River Valley", "Dry Creek Valley", "Sonoma Valley" or any other AVA in Sonoma +There are many reasons why the new labeling requirement makes sense from all these perspectives. +JohnLopresti said... +sorry, I keep forgetting the Fermentation site's html protocol; here is the OIVV label guideline link again: +El Jefe said... +OK, so here's the real requirement: "Any wine labeled with an American Viticultural Area established yada yada, that is located entirely within yada yada, shall bear the designation "Sonoma County" on the label in a type size not smaller than two millimeters on containers of more than 187 milliliters or smaller than one millimeter on containers of 187 milliliters or less. +If I recall correctly, this is almost exactly the same as the requirement for the government warning type size. +So the answer seems pretty clear to me: just add "Sonoma County" to the government warning. +Johnonwine said... +They [Honore Comfort and the Sonoma County Vintners] point to the prestige that the "Napa Valley" designation carries. +But this prestige has nothing to due with the law that demands "Napa Valley", in addition to simply "Rutherford", be placed on these wines. +It has to do entirely with the promotional effort that has gone into making "Napa Valley" a place associated with great wines. +Such an association will not be made with "Sonoma County" wines...ever. +Tom, I would suggest that all Napa wineries, good and bad, benefit from having Napa Valley on the label; it is indeed a great example of marketing - what you describe as promotional effort. +County, consumers learn absolutely nothing about the wine in the bottle. +Sonoma County, with roughly half of the wineries of Napa County, wins roughly twice as many gold medals in national and international wine competitions. +That, the fact that their wines cost less on average, and the wineries are friendlier, less snooty is a compelling story to get out to the public. +Heck, if folks knew all that, maybe folks would be seeking out bottles with "Sonoma County" on the label. +You suggest that this is a bad law, that Sonoma County will never be associated with high quality wine in the way Napa County is. +I disagree, but I am eternally hopeful, optimistic that the Sonoma County Vintners will inject a little passion and not more of the same old staid and boring in their marketing communications. +There no evidence that grapes grown in "Sonoma County" have any single distinguishing feature derived from the fact that they were grown inside the borders of Sonoma County. Assemblywoman Evans concludes, "By improving consumer education on each bottle, conjunctive labeling will unleash the full potential of our delicious wines to represent Sonoma around the world. +I have confidence they will change, retool, improve, live up to their responsibilities. +I worked selling and marketing Sonoma County wines, I won awards for my marketing efforts. +The story is simple. +People are receptive to it. +Selling the magic of Sonoma County wines is easy. +That's my take anyway, I don't aim to be contrarian, but I don't mind being the sole supporter of the law - as a Sonoma County born and bred wine guy. +She's correct. +Beginning in 2014, "Sonoma County" will receive a tremendous boost in recognition due to the conjunctive labeling law that forces vintners to add more wording to their labels—whether they think the words "Sonoma County" help or hurt their marketing efforts. +Frankly, if I was making high end wine from the "Sonoma Valley", "Sonoma Mountain" or "Sonoma Coast" AVAs that depended in part on the quality recognition that comes wtih these AVAs, I'd be pissed that I'm forced now to put a place-name on my label that told my buyers nothing of real value about the wine behind my label and, in some cases, demonstrably lowered its perceived quality. +Honore Comfort, Executive Director of the Sonoma County Vintners Association and an outstanding representative for Sonoma County wines noted this: ". +"This moment ...marks the beginning of a stronger Sonoma County brand for generations to come." +Proponents of the new Sonoma County Conjunctive labeling law like to point to a similar law that demands "Napa Valley" be placed on all wines that are made from grapes grown in that appellation, rather than simply using a sub appellation. +They point to the prestige that the "Napa Valley" designation carries. +But this prestige has nothing to due with the law that demands "Napa Valley", in addition to simply "Rutherford", be placed on these wines. +It has to do entirely with the promotional effort that has gone into making "Napa Valley" a place associated with great wines. +The vintners in Sonoma County simply can't make a case for "Sonoma County" having any meaning or for a region as vast as "Sonoma County" delivering any degree of quality to the grapes. +Pushed as an effort to promote "Sonoma County" wines and a consumer education effort, the new law instead forces vintners to needlessly sully their package and undermines their own marketing efforts. +Why is it important for someone making "Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir" or "Sonoma Valley Zinfandel" to help promote "Sonoma County", a designation that has no ability to define the quality or character of the wines in my Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir or my Sonoma Valley Zinfandel? +This is an example of a County usurping the private label real estate, and it's very valuable real estate, for the sake of promoting something that is of little use to private commercial interests. +Ask yourself...If putting the words "Sonoma County" on one's wines was such a great thing, why don't more vintners who make "Dry Creek Valley", "Russian River Valley", "Alexander Valley" or "Sonoma Valley" wines already put these words on their label? +They legally could...if they wanted to. +The new Sonoma County conjunctive labeling law is the equivalent of the State of California and the County of Sonoma claiming imminent domain over the labels of hundreds of vintners. +Eminent Domain Used To Usurp Wine Label Real Estate +Nick Perdiew said... +You found a way to tie this in nicely. +This is a case of over-reaching government regulation, costing business unnecessarily and burdening them with more regulations. +It's just unnecessary. +It also is a 'social promotion' in the sense that great Sonoma wines that now are forced to use "Sonoma County" will be giving some of their credibility to their lesser neighbors. +Shades of wealth redistribution as well. +Ew, ew, ew. +James McCann said... +How many hundreds or thousands of labels will have to be re-submitted to the TTB between now and 2014? +John Kelly said... +I'd be pissed that I'm forced now to put a place-name on my label that told my buyers nothing of real value about the wine behind my label and, in some cases, demonstrably lowered its perceived quality. +Exactly, Tom. +And I am really pissed. +And so is every other producer I have discussed this issue with. +I still don't know whose interests are being served by this useless piece of crap legislation. +Yet, the law does nothing to educate consumers. +I completely agree with you when you state: "Such an association will not be made with 'Sonoma County' wines...ever." +Duh. +I've got real skin in this game. +We are going to have to totally redesign our front label to make room for "Sonoma County" - and so far every mock-up is cluttered and decreases the impact of our brand. +Our best option looks like we will go to "North Coast" or "California" for our front label appellation, and discuss the grape source, vineyard name and meaningful AVA on the back label. +Passed unanimously out of the California Assembly and Senate, AB 1798 now awaits the Governor's signature, which it will surely obtain. +Fermentation: The Daily Wine Blog +Who is going to compensate me for this? +I estimate the value to be in six figures, and we are a small winery. +For a larger winery with a better-established brand the value is much higher. +Eminent domain is exactly right - this is nothing less than governmental "taking. +The legislators who backed this should be ashamed. +Hardy Wallace said... +Thanks Tom-- This law is such BS. +JohnLopresti said... +I support the new labeling requirement. +Sonoma county always was the sheep ranch joke in the era of Napa's well-deserved, early, global fame. +Together we have led the world into modern viticulture, with the help of UC Davis, and in some pretty good company from other regions. +I suppose the new law is all Sacramento hype. +But I think it will improve northcoast revenue and dignity. +According to Noreen Evans, an Assembly sponsor of the bill, this new conjunctive labeling law "requires that any wine labeled with an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located entirely within Sonoma County - – like Russian River Valley or Dry Creek Valley - must also include the word "Sonoma County" on the label, starting in 2014. +Now after several decades in Sonoma county I have learned to appreciate its uniqueness, for its viticulture and other industries. +The town of Sonoma is on a typical route people follow driving from Solano County to Sonoma County. +The ambience in the town Sonoma is only an enclave; it is rightfully proud of its heritage as a village, and for its viticultural traditions. +But Sonoma county encompasses much more territory, and other AVAs within the county are starkly different from the characteristics of Sonoma valley and the town of Sonoma. +Vive la nouveau Sonoma County. +Nick Perdiew said in to JohnLopresti... +John, Good of you to comment and good to have dissent. +What do you make of the fact that vintners *already* are free to put Sonoma County on any label they want? +I admit, I don't see the reasoning of your argument here. +The issue of the costs to vintners is non-trivial too as you can see above. +Bill Cadman said... +Tom-- I wonder what the response would be in Napa and Sonoma if the vintners in Fresno convinced the state government to require "California" be put on all labels of wine made within California? +JohnLopresti said... +These past few years, 'eminent domain' has become a libertarian property rights flashpoint, since the Kelo v New London, CT, case concerning urban renewal polemics. +I can see Tom W's concerns, too. +There was a counterpoint in the label world after some court cases resulted in a company's revising its grape sourcing to comply with tightened requirements for 75% in-county fruit in order to remain legal in designating the wine as from "Napa". +One rambling article's author counted 16 occurrences of the word Napa on the newly designed label of a famous budget wine producer's 2005 Napa cabernet sauvignon. +JohnLopresti said... +The links for @2:04: +I was disappointed, though not surprised, to see that today a conjunctive labeling law dictating that "Sonoma County" be placed on every label on wines produced from grapes grown in Sonoma County was unanimously passed by the California Legislature . +fredric koeppel said... +what business is it of State government what terminology goes on wine labels?

Checks to be made at the point of delivery of the wine. +"Unelected judges should not set alcohol policy; this responsibility rightly rests with individual state legislatures, as guaranteed under the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution." +Judges never have set policy. +State legislatures always have. +This is the big lie the wholesalers tell. +Judges merely tell the state when they have reached beyond what the 21st Amendment allows. +After that, the state legislatures, in every state where litigation has affected badly crafted laws, went about legislating a fix. +Surely the wholesalers don't mean to say that state alcohol laws should in no way be required to abide by the principles in the u.S. +Constitution. +What next, will the wholesalers argue the 21st amendment give the states the right to prohibit women from buying alcohol? +Will they argue that state laws banning African-Americans from being distributors is legal under the 21st Amendment? +But what is truly remarkable (and likely a result of the wholesalers' hubris stemming from 75 years of being granted government welfare) is their willingness to misrepresent facts, ignore the truth, and mislead in their defense of H.R. 5034. +"State laws that raise concerns can and should be addressed in the state legislature." +The wholesalers would have argued that the racist "separate but equal" philosophy had no business being litigated and that we should wait for the legislatures that enacted the racist laws to overturn them with new laws. +We have courts precisely to adjudicate concerns with the fairness and constitutionality of state laws. +The hypocrisy, misleading notions and disinformation being featured at the wholesalers website supporting H.R. 5034 is staggering. +Thus originated Las Vegas’s reputation as an adult theme park. +The areas surrounding the springs were desert oases: sprawling collections of grasses, trees, and wildlife. +Additional catalysts for the valley’s growth came from World War II. +By 1945, the population had grown to almost 20,000, with workers and airmen moving in at a rapid pace. +But this was not yet the Las Vegas of folklore. +The El Rancho Vegas (1941) was the first, followed by the Last Frontier (1943). +During this period, East Coast Syndicate member Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel earned a foothold as a local casino operator. +When the Flamingo opened in December 1946, it did so with Hollywood flair and the new Vegas flash. +But the Mafia bosses who financed the operation were displeased with its performance; Siegel was murdered in the summer of 1947. +Many springs lay in areas that would eventually become the center of the modern Las Vegas metropolis. +Despite its initial failings, Siegel’s Flamingo survived him, as did mob infiltration of casinos. +Freely flowing “comps” (complimentary food, drink, and entertainment) were the order of the day, with mob bosses content to provide an environment of pleasurable excess as long as the cash kept rolling in. +While the mob was running the casinos, promoters were busily selling Las Vegas as a glamorous Hollywood in the desert. +From the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s, Las Vegas nurtured a growing sense that it was the “Entertainment Capital of the World. ” +Emerging stars, no longer content with playing small nightclubs, came to Las Vegas with dreams of making it big. +Many of them did. +For about 4000 years, the Archaics thrived in a culture that included many signs of early civilization. +The Rat Pack — originally Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. , Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop, all in town to film Ocean’s 11 — landed at the Sands in January 1960 for a legendary stay. +As a result, more casinos emerged along the Strip. +The Thunderbird, Desert Inn, Sahara, Sands, and Riviera hotels were erected during this period, luring a curious clientele drawn by tales of all-night partying, exclusive entertainment, and cheap accommodations. +There was no longer any question: when you wanted some unbridled adult fun, Las Vegas was the place to be. +New Legitimacy +Organized crime was soon to have a formidable adversary in its bid to control Las Vegas — corporate cash. +Though Las Vegas had developed a powerful local economy, few major outside investments were made in the city, due primarily to mob infiltration and its inherent ties to illegal activities. +That would change dramatically with the 1966 arrival of billionaire Howard Hughes. +Signs of even more advancement appeared halfway through the first millennium a.d. , when the Anasazi Indians inhabited the valley. +A legitimate businessman, Hughes was nonetheless eccentric and dramatic, a style suited to the Las Vegas ethos. +True to the myth, the reclusive Hughes immediately cloistered himself in the Desert Inn’s penthouse. +Several weeks later he was asked — then ordered — to vacate the room to make room for high rollers, whereupon he promptly bought the property and fired the management. +Thus began Hughes’ legendary three-year, $300-million Las Vegas buying spree. +When it was over, Hughes owned six casinos, an airport, and an airline, along with numerous plots of land stretching from the Strip to the mountains. +Hughes’ actions would have beneficial repercussions, both immediate and lasting. +Because of the new legitimacy Las Vegas acquired from Hughes’ investments, established companies such as Hilton Hotels bought into the gaming business, and their influence helped draw a line in the desert sand between legitimate operations and mob casinos, where illegal skimming of profits was rampant. +That, combined with the formation of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, would signal the beginning of the end for heavy mob influence in the city. +Far more progressive than the Archaics, the Anasazi utilized such formal agricultural techniques as irrigation to assist their harvest. +The legitimization of gambling led to its increased legalization across the US. +What was once a sure thing became much more competitive. +Casino operators had to reassess the nature of their business. +The first to really do so was Steve Wynn, a Las Vegas resident and owner of the Golden Nugget. +In the mid-1980s, Wynn began plans to reinvigorate Las Vegas with a new resort. +He bought several Strip properties — the Silver Slipper and Castaways among them — and demolished them to make way for a new kind of resort — Mirage —  which became an instant success. +Wynn’s demolition of the existing properties started a trend that, more than any other, describes Las Vegas at the end of the 20th century: removal of old properties in exchange for the potential of new ones. +This trend has led to many more demolitions, including the Dunes (replaced by Bellagio), Aladdin (the new Aladdin) and Sands (Venetian) hotels. +Wynn’s casinos have also set new standards. +They can no longer be just a box filled with gaming tables, restaurants, and a showroom. +Excalibur, the MGM Grand, the Luxor, and New York-New York all followed Mirage’s lead during the 1990s, offering themed environments and attractions for families. +As evidence of the “ever-faster” nature of the city, by the middle of the 1990s the new approach showed signs of backlash, with many visitors criticizing the mediocrity of the Las Vegas experience. +This permitted the Anasazi to achieve a benchmark of advanced society — the ability to live in permanent shelters year-round without need to follow wildlife. +The latest approach is perhaps the best of the post-mob era: the comprehensive resort. +New resorts offer attractions and amenities modeled after those available in top resort cities worldwide, including luxurious spas, signature restaurants, and exclusive boutiques. +Additionally, a handful of resorts — such as the South-Seas themed Mandalay Bay, the Mirage, and the new Four Seasons — are now catering exclusively to the luxury travel market. +The crème de la crème of Las Vegas deluxe is Steve Wynn’s Bellagio. +Perhaps more important, such high-end accommodations raise the standards of expectations back to the mythology of the Rat Pack era. +As it changed from mob gam bling town to corporate gaming venue, the population of Las Vegas skyrocketed. +Over 20,000 additional hotel rooms have been added in a few short years, including resorts in Summerlin and Lake Las Vegas. +Still, the future of Las Vegas is sure to be determined as much by the pioneering spirit that built the city as by anything else. +With its new look and new aim, the prospects are good despite the warnings. +Inevitably, some people will get burned in the process, but others will rise triumphantly from the fray to even greater successes. +And that, more than anything, is the one constant that characterizes the past, present, and future of Las Vegas. +Unable to replicate the agricultural techniques of the Anasazi, the Paiutes were destined to a semi-nomadic lifestyle until European settlers arrived, changing the nature of existence in the valley forever. +During this period, the indigenous people lived in caves, hunting the mammals that gathered at the shoreline. +In the early nineteenth century, America’s western territories were still largely unexplored. +It was not until 1829 that Rafael Rivera, a Mexican scout, found a spring-fed valley and dubbed it Las Vegas — a Spanish name that leaves many modern visitors wondering exactly where “the meadows” really lay. +For fifteen years, Las Vegas was used as a Spanish Trail way-station. +A Brief History +This put Las Vegas on the map and was one of the crucial turning points of its history. +In 1855, Mormon leader Brigham Young responded to promising reports of Las Vegas by sending 30 missionary settlers to the valley; they eventually built a fort not far from today’s Downtown. +Surrounded by acres of farmland hewn from the hard desert, the adobe fort became a focal point for the development of Las Vegas for the next fifty years. +The landscape of the valley changed dramatically over the next 200 centuries. +Additional pressures from arriving miners pushed the missionaries’ plight beyond recovery. +Their supplies scarce, their harvest meager, and their spirit broken, they abandoned the fort in 1858. +Despite the fact that the local land was rich in silver, by 1865 most of the mining traffic through Las Vegas was of prospectors headed to California or Northern Nevada in search of gold. +One opportunist who stayed was Octavius Decatur Gass. +The glaciers feeding the lake melted away and the lake evaporated. +Gass took over the abandoned Mormon fort and 640 acres (260 hectares) surrounding it, dubbing it the Las Vegas Ranch. +He expanded the ranch and irrigated the land so that it would support crops and cattle. +His determination had other results as well: Gass was named a justice of the peace and a territorial legislator. +Despite his ambition, Gass’ success was short-lived. +In the late 1870s, he defaulted on a loan from rancher Archibald Stewart, so Stewart took the Las Vegas Ranch for his own. +True to wild-West stereotypes, Stewart was slain by a neighboring farmer, leaving his strong-willed wife, Helen, to assume the duties of the ranch. +Fossils tell an obscure story of man’s slow and sporadic development. +What happened next would mark the end of the successful Las Vegas Ranch and the beginning of the era of the subdivision seen across almost all of Western America to this day. +Early Habitation +Of Tracks and Tracts +At the turn of the 19th century Los Angeles and Salt Lake City were among the burgeoning metropolises of the new American West. +Though the two cities remained unlinked by rail, this was about to change quickly. +When it did, the Las Vegas Valley (which at the time had a non-native population of less than 30) would change as well. +Around 3000 b.c. , native Archaic Indians began to develop a lasting hunting and gathering culture. +In 1903, officials of the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad arrived in Las Vegas, eager to secure a right-of-way for their Los Angeles–Salt Lake connection. +Las Vegas would serve as a major stopover for crew rest and train repair. +For all this, the railroad needed land. +As mapped, the track traveled directly through Helen Stewart’s Las Vegas Ranch. +Stewart sold 99.5 percent of her ranch to the railroad. +The remainder she returned to the native Paiutes. +In early 1905, the route between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City was completed, and train tracks bore right down the center of the Las Vegas Valley. +On 15 May 1905, the railroad held a land sale — a momentous step in Las Vegas history. +Standing at the depot at Main and Fremont streets, railroad officials auctioned 1200 lots they had subdivided from forty square blocks of desert scrub. +Las Vegas was no longer a small pioneer settlement. +With rail service in place and forty blocks of private property, it was ready to become a real town. +Businesses sprang up overnight, and wooden houses were erected to replace the tent city in which many of the early settlers had lived. +One year after the auction, the population of Las Vegas had ballooned to 1500 residents, a portent of things to come for the next ninety years. +From the beginning, Las Vegas was built to serve travelers. +The railroad needed a way station, and Las Vegas was the place. +Growth continued for ten years, and by 1915 the town had telephones, round-the-clock electricity, and a growing population — many of whom worked in the railroad repair shop. +The inhabited history of the Las Vegas Valley stretches to 23,000 b.c. , when much of the area was covered by a prehistoric lake. +But such heady progress would soon come to a halt. +Union Pacific then consolidated its operations, eliminating the Las Vegas repair facility. +Additionally, Las Vegas had been made a part of Nevada’s new Clark County in 1909, a year when the legislature also outlawed gambling. +These unfortunate circumstances threatened to relegate Las Vegas to the status of a small desert community that could no longer support its 3000 residents. +But the southwest’s growing need for water, combined with Las Vegas’s fortuitous proximity to the Colorado River, would give Las Vegas a second chance to achieve prosperity. +Construction on Hoover Dam (originally Boulder Dam, subsequently renamed for the president who authorized the project) began in 1931 in a canyon 45 miles (72 km) southeast of Las Vegas. +Providing an influx of $165 million to the southwestern economy, Hoover Dam played a major role in preventing Las Vegas from drying up, both financially and literally. +These springs fed a network of streams draining through the Las Vegas Wash to the Colorado River. +Not only did it create jobs, but it also created Lake Mead, the massive reservoir that today provides water to all of southern

ever attempted. +Strangely enough, the study also included pairs of biological brothers that were not twins, and out of the 142 homosexual males studied, only 14, or about 9 %, had homosexual brothers, which is approximately the normal statistical incidence of homosexuality in the general population (Bailey & Pillard). +More and more people are beginning to believe that homosexuality is not a “choice,” but rather a feeling that one is born with. +“choice,” +As one grows older, they become aware of sexual feelings towards other persons. +The only difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals is that while heterosexuals are attracted to members of the opposite sex, homosexuals are attracted to those of the same sex. +Therefore, neither homosexuals nor heterosexuals really have a “choice” in the matter, and asking a homosexual “Why are you attracted to other members of your sex” is likened to asking a heterosexual “Why are you attracted to members of the opposite sex?” +“Why are you attracted to members of the opposite sex?” +After all, why would anyone choose such a difficult lifestyle? +As a homosexual, one risks horrifying their parents, other family members, and friends to the point of losing all contact with them, ruining their career, being condemned by their religion, being beat up for publicly displaying their sexuality, and much much more. +This shows that not only did Plato consider it normal for a male to be attracted to another male, he also believed that it began at a very young age, as the word “boyhood” signifies. +To supplement my findings from research, I have conducted personal interviews with two adolescent homosexual males, James Dobbens and Daniel Woods. +Both were asked how what they thought determined homosexuality (nature vs. nurture) and why, when they realized they were homosexual and how they knew, and similar questions. +Both believed that homosexual was a result of nature, rather than nurture (Dobbens & Woods). +Dobbens reasoned that most parents would not raise their children to be homosexual; “They’re not like ‘My child’s going to be gay!”’ +“They’re not like ‘My child’s going to be gay!”’ +‘My child’s going to be gay!”’ +(Dobbens). +Dobbens believes that he was born homosexual. +When why he was a homosexual, he explained “It’s just the way you are, you can’t explain it, I was just born that way, it’s like asking how the world was made – no one really knows” (Dobbens). +“It’s just the way you are, you can’t explain it, I was just born that way, it’s like asking how the world was made – no one really knows” +He went on to explain that while his nurture did not impact his sexual orientation, it did affect his view of it. +When discussing the role of parents and upbringing in a child’s sexuality, he commented “They can bring you up [to be] open minded to [homosexuality], but they don’t bring you up [to be a homosexual]… I grew up in a place where [homosexuality is accepted], so that’s why I’m so open about being gay; I accept myself… [Whether or not you accept homosexuality and can be honest with yourself if you are homosexual] depends on how you’re brought up” (Dobbens). +“They can bring you up [to be] open minded to [homosexuality], but they don’t bring you up [to be a homosexual]… I grew up in a place where [homosexuality is accepted], so that’s why I’m so open about being gay; I accept myself… [Whether or not you accept homosexuality and can be honest with yourself if you are homosexual] depends on how you’re brought up” +Woods generally agreed with Dobbens, and justified his belief that homosexuality was caused by one’s nature, rather than nurture, when he commented that “there’s nothing in my upbringing that exposed me to anything like [homosexuality]” (Woods). +In fact, Plato even considered love between two members of the same sex to be the only “real and lasting love” and necessary for democracy. +When asked why he was gay, he explained that it is simply “something that I can’t help… embedded in my head; nothing made me do it” (Woods). +He went on to explain that it the same thing as the primitive attraction between males and females, only it was between males and other males. +He added that “nothing happened [to make me homosexual]; it’s always been there. +“nothing happened [to make me homosexual]; it’s always been there. I’ve always been attracted to guys” +I’ve always been attracted to guys” (Woods). +What I find to be extraordinary about Woods’ case is that he remarked how while he has always been sexually attracted go guys, he is romantically attracted to women in the sense that he has always wanted a girlfriend and to be close with other females, etc… but never in a sexual sense. +“always kind of fantasized about getting married [to a female],” +What, exactly, causes homosexuality? +He says that if he married a female with which he shared a strong trust, maybe he could work it out. +“real and lasting love” +“It’s like race. It’s all something you can’t help; it all comes to you… It’s internal, you can’t help it” +It’s all something you can’t help; it all comes to you… It’s internal, you can’t help it” (Woods). +When asked if he thought homosexuality was caused by a gene, he commented that he thought that it was more of an instinct. +He gave the example of birds, which are born with instincts such as knowing how to build a next, or catch their prey. +Woods also thought that maybe it was caused by something in the development of the embryo. +All in all, Woods views homosexuality as “fascinating.” +“fascinating.” +His final thought: “I also believe everyone has at least one homosexual attraction. +“I also believe everyone has at least one homosexual attraction. It’s not black and white [homosexual vs. heterosexual]; it’s a spectrum” +It’s not black and white [homosexual vs. heterosexual]; it’s a spectrum” (Woods). +Yet there are arguments against homosexuality as caused by genetics. +For instance, heterosexual males have an average of five times as many children as homosexual ones, as a female is required to reproduce children, yet homosexuals are, by definition, not sexually attracted to females. +Therefore, from the evolutionary standpoint, homosexuality becomes one of the disadvantageous traits. +Because consequently heterosexual men contribute five times as much genetic information to the next the gene pool, if homosexuality was indeed caused by a gene, it would have died out entirely by now, or at least been reduced immensely in the number of occurrences. +Since neither of these events have yet taken place, it can be concluded that homosexuality is not caused by a gene (Fulkerson). +My findings throughout my research have led me to conclude that there is no definitive answer on what causes homosexuality. +No one knows for sure now (although many think they do), and perhaps no one ever will know the whole truth. +Nonetheless, I am apt to believe that homosexuality is the product of some kind of combination of genetic and environmental causes. +Perhaps one may have a genetic predisposition towards homosexuality that has been passed on from previous generations. +However this does not necessarily determine a homosexual; rather this predisposition must be triggered by environmental factors. +Even Homer wrote about Achilles and Patroclus, who have been considered to be the perfect model of true love (Emond). +This is why Bailey and Pillard found in their study that while they was a greatly elevated chance that two males sharing the same genetic makeup would also share the same sexuality, this was not the case 100 % of the time. +This seems to be the most likely explanation as of now, but even as I write this, new studies are being done. +Perhaps the truth is right around the corner. +Works Cited +APA Online. 2003.

They also do not belong in a court of law!” +They also do not belong in a court of law!” +In 1935, he furthered his claims when he wrote a now famous “Letter to an American Mother” of a homosexual, which stated that “Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness… Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals” (qtd. in Isay 3). +“Letter to an American Mother” +“Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness… Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals” +However, the general public of the 1800s and early 1900s, including the medical professionals, regarded homosexuality as a curable mental illness. +Treatments such as castration, hysterectomy, lobotomy, and electroshock therapy were used as attempted cures. +By the mid 1900s, psychotherapy became the most common “cure,” and many homosexuals spent countless hours being analyzed in hopes of changing their sexual preference (Dudley 125). +Dr. Evelyn Hooker, a heterosexual psychologist, conducted a ground-breaking study in the mid 1950s that went along similar reasoning as Freud. +She disagreed with the popular belief at the time that homosexuality was a mental illness, and concluded that there was no significant psychological difference between homosexual and heterosexual men; “gay” men were no more insane than their “straight” counterparts (Marcus 183). +“gay” +Documented homosexuality dates as far back as ancient Greece and other cultures of the time, where it was considered to be a very normal and natural occurrence (Emond). +Fortunately, many prominent psychiatrists also believed that homosexuality was not an illness, and their lobbying, along with the innovative study performed by Hooker, who has been referred to as “the Rosa Parks of the gay movement” convinced the American Psychiatric Association Board of Trustees to vote to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as a mental illness in December of 1973. +Just over a year later, the American Psychological Association also removed homosexuality from their list of mental illnesses (Marcus 11). +The American Psychological Association further reiterated this belief when an overwhelming majority of the Council of Representatives adopted the Resolution on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation in 1997, which publicly chastised those who attempted to “cure” homosexuality by means of various forms of treatment. +“cure” +It stated, rather that homosexuality was merely a difference in the opinion and values of the common person, but must still be respected as an individual orientation, and thus treated as one (Resolution on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation). +Perhaps one of the most famous studies on this topic was concluded in 1991 by Michael Bailey, an assistant professor of psychology at Northwestern University, and Richard Pillard, an associate professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine, and found that sexual orientation in males is largely due to genetics. +For two years, these men studied the number of occurrences of homosexuality in both monozygotic, or identical twins (a set of twins coming from the same fertilized egg and thus having identical DNA), and dizygotic, or fraternal twins (a set of twins from too separate zygotes, causing them to have similar DNA, but not any more so than that of two ordinary siblings), in addition to adoptive brothers of gay males (meaning that all of these males would have been raised in the same environment). +In his book The Symposium, Plato wrote “Those who are halves of a man whole pursue males, and being slices, so to speak, of the male, love men throughout their boyhood, and take pleasure in physical contact with men” (qtd. in Isay 11). +In total, 110 pairs of twins (identical and fraternal) and 142 sets of male and their adopted brothers were studied, where at least one of the two had been classified as homosexual, either by self-identification or other means. +“Those who are halves of a man whole pursue males, and being slices, so to speak, of the male, love men throughout their boyhood, and take pleasure in physical contact with men” +Out of the 56 homosexual males who had identical twins, 29, or approximately 52 % of their identical twin brothers were also found to be homosexual, as compared to only 12, or approximately 22 % of the 54 non-identical twins of homosexual males, and 6, or approximately 11 % of the 57 adopted brothers of homosexual males who were unrelated in terms of genetics. +Pretty cool, right? +Google TGI Friday's Fan Woody and it looks pretty good. +But then something not so awesome happened. +All those fans wanted their free burgers and they wanted them now! +TGI Friday's completely lost control of the page and eventually doled out a lot of free burgers. +Now from a short term perspective I'm sure they did ok on the deal. +People came in and ate their food. +But they could have accomplished that with coupons in the mail, the newspaper or by an email list. +But they decided to go the Social Media route. +Now, let's take a look at what the Friday's FanWoody Facebook page looks like today: Whoops! +Oh, the numbers look good, but when you dig a little deeper a different picture emerges. +Apparently Woody and his 900,000+ fans went poof . +How come? +I'm guessing it had something to do with the venom and general anarchy the page had created by buying fans rather than growing them. +A TGI Friday's Facebook page does exist, with roughly a third of the fans they used to have. +TGI Friday's pretty much had to spray Agent Orange on their relationship with 600,000 people. +I think plenty of brands have heard the siren call of Facebook ads. +The ability to target your demo is really terrific, but you're in danger of creating a relationship with fans that ultimately is built on a "what have you done for me lately" foundation. +First, you essentially bought these fans. +You paid Facebook for the right to target them. +Walls filled with off topic conversations at best, vile language and real antipathy for the brand at worst. +Then in the case of TGI Friday's or other brands that offer free product or discount coupons, you are essentially buying them again. +This sets up a pattern where the consumer now expects to be rewarded for being your fan with a tangible item, that is, free stuff. +That's not a bonus item, it's now a standard part of the agreement. +Want me as a fan? +Give me free stuff. +The point of Social Media isn't to distribute coupons and a real fan wants to engage with a brand for a whole host of reasons, often free / discounted product is the least of these reasons. +I'm not saying that special bonuses, or 'surprise and delight' offers aren't ever a good thing. +I think when used properly they can be terrific. +What do I mean by used properly? +As a reward for people who have engaged with the brand in a meaningful way. +Send us a picture of you wearing a brand t-shirt and sure, you've earned a free sandwich. +Recruit some friends and I'm happy to give you all some coupons. +But when fans enter the relationship feeling they are entitled to free samples and you're in trouble. +What happened?

historic preservation. +Dublin excels in packaging its past for the visitor. +You can view artifacts from the Bronze Age, trace the history of the Easter Rising, or revisit Leopold Bloom’s odyssey in Ulysses. +Old buildings are being recycled; for example, the 17th-century Royal Hospital now holds the Museum of Modern Art. +And Dublin, a city large in expectations, is still small enough for the visitor to see most of its sights on foot. +City on the Liffey +The River Liffey flows from west to east through the center of the city to Dublin Bay. +Historically and culturally this north-south distinction has always been significant, and it still is today, with a dose of good-humored rivalry between the two areas. +“ I never go north of the Liffey,” +“ I never go north of the Liffey,” one man remarked. +Farther out, both north and south, are the sweeping curves of the Royal and Grand Canals. +The occasional cry of gulls and unexpected distant vistas will remind you that Dublin is by the sea, and the Wicklow mountains, which hold Dublin closely to the coast, are visible from everywhere. +Dublin is an intimate city, physically small but tightly packed, a perfect place for walking. +College Green, the home of Trinity College, provides a natural focus just south of the O’Connell Street bridge. +Dublin and the Dubliners +To the south and east is St. Stephen’s Green and Georgian Dublin where the national museums are located. +Along the Liffey to the west is Temple Bar, center of nightlife and home to many of Dublin’s cutting-edge artists and artistic endeavors. +Up the hill from Temple Bar are Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral. +It won’t rain on you in Dublin all the time. +The climate here can best be described as “changeable” and yet the sudden shifts from light to dark, sunshine to shower, are part of the city’s magic. +Buildings seem to transform themselves depending on the light; Dublin under a lowering sky is a different place from Dublin in sunshine. +Enjoying Dublin +Joyce, the high priest of literary Modernism, imagined and interpreted Dublin for the world in Ulysses (you’ll see references to it all over). +Beckett and Joyce, among others, had to leave their homeland to understand it —  and to be understood. +The city’s impact on the rock and pop music scene with the likes of U2 and Bob Geldof is well known — there’s even a self-guided tour of their haunts. +Traditional Irish music is also alive and well, especially in the pubs, and there has been a revival of storytelling, poetry reading, and traditional dancing. +And in this city, where literature and theater have historically dominated the scene, visual arts are finally coming into their own with the new Museum of Modern Art and the many galleries that display the work of modern Irish artists. +Prosperity is in the air; the roar of the “Celtic Tiger” can clearly be heard. +And while multinational chains have made inroads, they seem less blatant here than elsewhere. +Many shops, and also hotels and guest houses, have been owned and managed by the same families for years, and theirs is the welcome of traditional Dublin hospitality. +Dublin’s food has undergone a metamorphosis. +There was a time when you might have apologized for it, but no longer. +But this is not the whole picture. +Coffee has replaced the ubiquitous tea — Dublin is now almost as much a coffee city as Vienna or Seattle. +City and Countryside +In a city of such human proportions it is not surprising that parks and gardens abound for recreation and relaxation. +The proverbial hospitality and warm welcome are still here. +Phoenix Park in the northwest is the largest open space, but squares like St. Stephen’s Green are the garden oases of the city. +As capital of Europe’s most explosive economy, Dublin seems to be changing before your very eyes. +On the coast, Sandymount, Dollymount, and Killiney strands are the places to go. +The beautiful Wicklow Mountains, and the Wicklow Mountains National Park provide a more rugged countryside, and the area has breathtaking houses and gardens such as Castletown, Mount Usher, and Powerscourt. +To the north and west are the ancient sites of Ireland: Malahide Castle, the evocative hill of Tara, and the long barrows of Knowth and Newgrange. +This busy, modern European city sits on a thousand years of history — history is present everywhere, from elegant Merrion Square to the bullet holes on the General Post Office. +The DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) runs north and south along the coast. +There are many guided bus tours to sights outside the city, and some are accessible by city bus. +Young at Heart? +Dublin is a young city. +Almost half of Ireland’s population is under twenty-five, and with its universities and professional schools, Dublin also has a large student population. +The universities attract students from all over the world, and this influx helps to make Dublin a busy, buzzing international city. +Religion and respect for parents has not yet gone out of fashion. +And young graduates are not leaving now — multinational corporations and European Union investment mean there are plenty of opportunities for them at home. +Unemployment is at an all-time low. +The Irish are actually beginning to come home. +It’s also a city of the imagination, reinvented and reappraised in the literature of its exiles. +And the old Dublin is with us, too — the irreverent city of wit and charm and that peculiar magic possessed by Ireland and the Irish. +Beijing’s announced policy of maintaining Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability makes sense. +Around the time of the transition there was much speculation about how things would change. +With its vibrant atmosphere and night-and-day activity it is an intoxicating place. +The impression of the visitor today will be that very little has changed. +Establishments are no longer called “Royal,” Queen Elizabeth has vanished from the coinage, and the Union Jack has been replaced by the flag of China and the new Hong Kong flag with its bauhinia flower. +Others are more subtle. +British social customs are still evident in the kind of polite service you get in hotels and in the long lines of people waiting for buses at rush hour. +The British population has decreased; today there are as many American and Australian ex-pats as there are British. +With a population of nearly eight million and a total area of just over 1,095 square km (423 square miles), housing is one of Hong Kong’s perennial nightmares. +Hong Kong is crowded — it has one of the world’s greatest population densities. +To alleviate the problem, the government has become the city’s major landlord with the construction of massive apartment blocks that, though they have every modern facility, average only 9 square m (100 square ft) in size. +Hong Kong and Its People +Whole cities have been created in the New Territories, although the unimaginative architecture of these towns has been criticized. +Of Hong Kong’s population, 98 percent are Chinese. +The Chinese people have been described as hardworking and pragmatic, attitudes that have contributed to Hong Kong’s success. +There are many stories of refugees who arrived with nothing in their pockets, set up a small sidewalk stall, worked diligently until they had their own store, and then expanded it into a modest chain. +But it is also efficient, with one of the best transportation systems anywhere, and for such a crowded place, quiet — you don’t hear voices raised in anger, motorists sitting on their horns, or loud boomboxes. +Old customs are still followed: Fate and luck are taken very seriously, and astrologers and fortune-tellers do a steady business. +Before a skyscraper can be built, a feng shui (see page 68) investigation must take place to ensure that the site and the building will promote health, harmony, and prosperity. +You’ll also notice that gambling is a passion, whether it be cards, mah-jong, the lottery, or the horses. +Hong Kong has two major racetracks as well as an intensive off-track betting system, and on weekends the ferries to Macau are crowded with people on their way to the casinos. +Sightseeing in Hong Kong starts at sea level with the enthralling water traffic — a mix of freighters, ferries, tugs, junks, and yachts. +From Victoria Peak, Hong Kong’s highest

stories for the lurid horror details and later her crushing defeat. +Conversely, the authors of the two stories examined here do not give readers motivation to wish for the death of Madame White Snake, so the pleasure of the narrative - to borrow appropriate phrasing from film theory - comes not from the death of the insubordinate, disruptive force, from watching the transgressions themselves. +In an essay on the femme fatale heroines of film noir, Janey Place argues that the strong behavior of the female characters supersedes the moral lessons supposedly imparted by their morals at the end. +She writes, “the final ‘lesson’ of the myth often fades into the background and we retain the image of the erotic, strong, unrepressed (if destructive) woman.” +“the final ‘lesson’ of the myth often fades into the background and we retain the image of the erotic, strong, unrepressed (if destructive) woman.” +‘lesson’ +Early tales of Madame White Snake appeared in China as early as the Song Dynasty, and initially her portrayal was fairly direct, as a villainous demon who drains the life force out of her human husband. +Janey Place, “Women in Film Noir” in Women in Film Noir, ed. E. Ann Kaplan (London: British Film Institute, 2003), 48. +“Women in Film Noir” +In these two stories, the femme fatale Madame White Snake is going to live on in the minds of readers not as the shrunken snake trapped under a pagoda, but the sexy, aggressive woman who took a weaker human man as her lover. +This resistant reading of the text may be too colored by modern viewpoints, since it is impossible to know for certain what readers in the past enjoyed about these stories. +However, consciously or unconsciously, these authors created a female character who fits the characteristics of a feisty heroine. +In fact, Communists in the PRC in the 1970s reclaimed her as a feminist symbol for women who rebel against the patriarchy. +Just as the dangerous femme fatale of noir films has reemerged as a heroine in her own right, rather than the sexy death trap for the male protagonist, so too Lady White Snake should be reclaimed for her sexual assertiveness and life slightly outside the bounds of conventional social expectations. +Lai, Whalen. "From Folklore to Literate Theater: Unpacking "Madame White Snake"." Asian Folklore Studies 51, no. 1 (1992): 52. +"Madame White Snake" +“Pagoda” +Whalen Lai notes, “She was a loving wife, a caring mother, rescuer of her family from the first flood, and, at that point, a general benefactor of man. +She took on the virtues of a traditional Chinese female, particularly forbearance”. +Ibid., 53. +Femme fatale might seem an unusual term to apply to a character from pre-modern Chinese and Japanese literature who may exemplify the virtues of an ideal Confucian wife, since it is primarily associated with film characters, particularly those of the film noir genre. +But this term, which is relatively speaking, a neologism (The earliest uses were around the beginning of the 20th century Oxford English Dictionary, “Femme, ” Oxford University Press, http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50083541/50083541se3?single=1&query_type=word&queryword=femme+fatale&first=1&max_to_show=10&hilite=50083541se3 ), is an apt description of the depiction of Madame White Snake and all her incarnations. +“Femme, ” +It refers to a woman who is dangerously attractive, and lures men to their downfall with her sexual attractiveness. +In both incarnations of Madame White snake, the authors depict her as bewitchingly beautiful. +“Lust of the White Serpant” +“disturbed and agitated” +Amanda Bates November 11, 2008 Madame White Snake: East Asian Femme Fatale of Old +“ethereal beauty” +Ueda, Akinari. Ugetsu Monogatari : Tales of Moonlight and Rain : A Complete English Version of the Eighteenth-Century Japanese Collection of Tales of the Supernatural.

Boston: Zheng & Zui Co, 1986, 358. +Both of these stories align negative connotations with her beauty, suggesting that her sexuality is the cause of their distraction. +In addition to distracting sexuality, the irregular characterization of Madame White Snake might be another trait her character has in common with the archetypical noir femme fatale. +In her essay analyzing the noir film from a feminist perspective, Christine Gledhill writes “Not only is the hero frequently not sure whether the woman is honest or a deceiver, but the heroine’s characterisation is itself fractured so that it is not evident to the audience whether she fills the [femme fatale] stereotype or not”. +“Not only is the hero frequently not sure whether the woman is honest or a deceiver, but the heroine’s characterisation is itself fractured so that it is not evident to the audience whether she fills the [femme fatale] stereotype or not” +Christine Gledhill, “Klute 1: A Contemporary Film Noir and Feminist Criticism,” in Feminism and Film, ed. E. Ann Kaplan (New York: Oxford University Press, 2004), 81. +“Klute 1: A Contemporary Film Noir and Feminist Criticism,” +While both stories each characterize Madame White Snake fairly consistently within their narratives, the uneven characterization in film noir perhaps mirrors the evolution of her character over time: readers may not be sure whether she is a pure villainess or whether she is a good wife who is badly treated by society, because there is evidence of both throughout her legend. +She is a loyal wife to her husband as she has promised, but she also causes him to find trouble with the law and deceives him about her supernatural nature. +The complications in her character serve to undercut the ostensible didactic intent of these stories. +Her husband becomes a monk, and this further implicates Lady White Snake, this time from a Buddhist perspective. +Female beauty is a dangerous thing that ties men to the transitory world and prohibits them from being free from desire and ascending to Nirvana. +Furthermore, Lady White Snake’s lover is far from the ideal man. +He is weak-willed and not particularly useful. +In “Lust,” the priest informs Toyoo “Those creatures took advantage of your fair looks and tempted you. +“Lust,” +“Those creatures took advantage of your fair looks and tempted you. But you, yourself, owing to a lack of courage and spirit, fell victim to their temporary form” +But you, yourself, owing to a lack of courage and spirit, fell victim to their temporary form” Ugetsu Monogatari, 177-178. . +The implications of this are that a stronger, more capable man would not fall for the Lady’s trickery. +But are the morals of these stories entirely sincere? +Instead, both these stories feature many moments where readers have great sympathy for her, despite her depraved sexuality. +Certainly, readers admire her patience and loyalty: “I searched everywhere, and now that at last I’ve found you, I’m very happy,” Ibid.,173. she gushes to him in “Lust.” +“I searched everywhere, and now that at last I’ve found you, I’m very happy,” +“Lust.” +Readers must also acknowledge that her human lover is breaking his promise to her when he leaves her. +She pleads with him, “We have a love bond between us, as constant as the T’ai Mountains and the Eastern Sea, and we must live and die together. +“We have a love bond between us, as constant as the T’ai Mountains and the Eastern Sea, and we must live and die together. Please, since we are already married, take me back, and let’s stay together the rest of our lives. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” +While both these stories are ostensibly morality tales about the dangerous beauty of this femme fatale, the true source of pleasure from these narratives is the femme fatale’s transgressive behavior, not her eventual punishment for it. +Please, since we are already married, take me back, and let’s stay together the rest of our lives. +Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” +“Eternal Prisoner,” 369. +In another traditional vernacular story, “Tsu Shih-Niang Sinks the Jewel Box in Anger, “Tu Shih-Niang Sinks the Jew Box in Anger,” trans, Richard M.

I went through the struggles last year and I wanted to be a part of it in the good times." +In addition to Ochoa, the Angels got minor-league catcher Sal Fasano. +In return, the Brewers got backup catcher Jorge Fabregas and two players to be named later. +In the past week, the Angels deemed outfield depth their biggest need, above adding a reliever to the bullpen. +The Russian team of Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze narrowly won the gold medal over the Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, who were later awarded a duplicate gold medal because of the ensuing judging controversy. +OLYMPIC JUDGING SCANDAL DEEPENS WITH ARREST OF RUSSIAN CRIME FIGURE +The French ice dancers, Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat, later won the gold over a Russian team. +The complaint casts the Salt Lake City figure skating scandal in a more serious light than the cronyism and vote-swapping that have tainted the increasingly troubled sport. +Over the past four years, four judges have been suspended, including a Ukrainian who was taped by a Canadian judge detailing the order of finish for the ice dancers before the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. +If convicted of the charges against him -- conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bribery, both felonies _ Tokhtakhounov faces maximum prison time of 10 years and a fine of $500,000 or more. +The United States is seeking his extradition from Italy. +The Italian authorities provided the FBI with information from wiretaps of Tokhtakhounov's home telephone, part of an investigation into his criminal activities. +The FBI said explicit conversations about the scheme had been recorded between Tokhtakhounov and his conspirators, and between him and Anissina, who was born in Russia and skated for France, and her mother. +The FBI cited a vivid conversation with Anissina's mother in which Tokhtakhounov assured her that even if her daughter "falls, we will make sure she is No. 1." +"falls, we will make sure she is No. 1." +After the Winter Olympics, a French judge, Marie-Reine Le Gougne, was suspended by the International Skating Union for not reporting pressure she said was put on her by Didier Gailhaguet, president of the French Skating Federation, to vote for the Russian pairs team. +The ISU later suspended Le Gougne and Gailhaguet for three years. +The federal complaint did not describe the possibility of a wider conspiracy or any contact between Tokhtakhounov, or his unnamed co-conspirators, with Le Gougne. +A Russian accused of being in organized crime was arrested in Italy on Wednesday on an American complaint that he conspired to fix the pairs figure skating and ice dancing competitions at the recent Salt Lake Winter Olympics, which were dominated by the sport's judging scandals. +"We have alleged no connection between this man with any officials other than with Russian federation officials," +"We have alleged no connection between this man with any officials other than with Russian federation officials," James B. Comey, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said at a news conference. +He said that Tokhtakhounov "reached out to a co-conspirator, somebody connected to the Russian Skating Federation, who did the legwork for him." +"reached out to a co-conspirator, somebody connected to the Russian Skating Federation, who did the legwork for him." +Maxwell Miller, Le Gougne's lawyer in Salt Lake City, said no evidence of organized crime influence came up in her suspension hearings before the ISU "I think this situation vindicates the argument that we've made all along," he said. +"I think this situation vindicates the argument that we've made all along," +"She's a scapegoat and a target of a corrupt system and was unfairly singled out." +Tokhtakhounov, whose age was given by Comey as 53 or 62, is a "major figure in international Eurasian organized crime," Comey said. +"major figure in international Eurasian organized crime," +Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and now a Russian citizen, he is known as Taivanchik, or Little Taiwanese, for his Central Asian ethnic background. +Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, he has been implicated in arms trading and Russian art smuggling, and in the Russian news media he was accused of complicity in a plot to extort $10 million from the head of a Russian sports foundation. +He appears to have moved to France in 1989, according to news media reports, and is reported to have Israeli citizenship also. +Comey said Tokhtakhounov had three residences in Italy: Forte dei Marmi, Rome and Milan. +The complaint against Tokhtakhounov's traces his contact with figure skating to 2000, when he proposed to Gailhaguet the creation of a professional hockey team in Paris that would provide revenue for the French Skating Federation. +( Gailhaguet and Anissina are not referred to by name in an accompanying FBI agent's affidavit, but by their descriptions their identities are obvious. +) +In return, Gailhaguet told the FBI on Feb. 23 as the Olympics were taking place, Tokhtakhounov asked for Gailhaguet's help in renewing his French visa, which was about to expire. +"Tokhtakhounov's money is bad," +The federal complaint offers many details of the alleged conspiracy, including excerpts from a transcript of the Italian wiretaps. +On Feb. 5, the Italian wiretaps recorded Tokhtakhounov's request to someone identified as another Russian mobster to get the number of a Russian Skating Federation official. +The second mobster told Tokhtakhounov that the federation official "is close to us -- he is a good guy, he will do it." +"is close to us -- he is a good guy, he will do it." +Tokhtakhounov's action apparently came soon after he said he received a phone call from the mother of the female ice dancer, presumably Anissina. +The Russian, Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, who was arrested by the Italian authorities at his resort home in Forte dei Marmi, appeared to have a singular motivation for rigging the competitions: getting a visa to return to France, where he once lived. +A week later, after Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze's pairs victory, the mobsters spoke again. +The second mobster expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the competition and suggested that Tokhtakhounov could call the ice dancer's "mother or the father and tell them everything will be OK" +"mother or the father and tell them everything will be OK" +He appears to be referring to Anissina. +The second mobster added, "Our Sikharulidze fell, the Canadians were 10 times better, and in spite of that the French with their vote gave us first place." +He added: "Everything is going the way you need it." +"Everything is going the way you need it." +They also discussed the coming judging in ice dancing, in which the French and the Italian teams were the favorites. +The second mobster said the French pair had "only three judges," and of the two judges they needed to win the gold medal "one is ours, and the other our friends will give them." +"only three judges," +"one is ours, and the other our friends will give them." +Their concern for lining up more votes than they thought the Italian ice dancers had may stem from the Italian team's defeat of Anissina and Peizerat in the 2001 world championships. +But they seemed pleased that the Russian pair's victory was achieved with the French judge's vote. +"The French have nothing but the ice dancing," +"The French have nothing but the ice dancing," the second mobster said. +Again, Tokhtakhounov voiced his need to have his French visa extended, and he said Anissina had tried to help him but Gailhaguet had thwarted her. +"we are going to make" +"an Olympic champion." +On or about March 7, in a conversation between Tokhtakhounov and Anissina, she said she would have won the event without his assistance because the Russian judge did not vote for her and her partner. +She also apologized for not calling to thank him earlier, but that Gailhaguet had forbidden her. +"was involved with the results" +"knows my name very well -- he tried to help me, and later he made stuff up to scare you so you would not connect me to him even more." +The conversations seem to indicate a familiarity between Tokhtakhounov and Anissina. +Tass, the official Russian news agency, reported that Anissina attended a ceremony in 1999 at a Paris hotel honoring Tokhtakhounov for his philanthropy. +The federal prosecutor in Manhattan alleged in a criminal complaint that Tokhtakhounov had conceived and directed a scheme with a second man alleged to be in the Russian mob and a member of the Russian Skating Federation to secure a gold medal for the top Russian pairs skaters and for the top French ice dancers, one of whom is a Russian. +That Russian organized crime may have infiltrated international sport at the Olympics stunned Phyllis Howard, president of the U.S. Figure Skating Association. +"This is a criminal act and it certainly puts things in a different league," +"This is a criminal act and it certainly puts things in a different league," Howard said. +Lloyd Ward, chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said in a

Palmisano, IBM's chief executive, emphasized that it was important to make long-term investments despite the current slump in the technology business. +"To play to win in technology, you innovate and you lead," +But manufacturing technology products is a costly and cyclical business. +In June, IBM announced that it was taking a charge of more than $2 billion against earnings. +EAST FISHKILL, N.Y. -- IBM opened a sprawling and sophisticated semiconductor factory here on Wednesday that cost more than $2.5 billion to build and equip, the largest single capital investment the company has ever made. +But Kelly said the demand for advanced chips, like those produced at IBM's facility in Burlington, Vt., is strong. +"I need more capacity in that end of the market," +"I need more capacity in that end of the market," he said, "and this is factory is critical to meeting that growing demand." +But industry analysts said the plant should be insulated from a falloff in one or a few segments of the semiconductor market. +"The diversity is the big difference with this plant," said Richard Doherty, president of Envisioneering, a research firm. +The 140,000-square-foot plant is a testament to advanced manufacturing technology. +The 300-millimeter silicon wafers -- about the size of a standard pizza -- are shuttled around the facility in enclosed plastic pods, which ride on overhead tracks. +They drop down from wires automatically into machines, sheathed in stainless steel and glass, for each stage of processing and fabrication. +Throughout the 500 processing steps, which typically last 20 days, the wafers are not touched by human hands. +The circuits etched into the chips are less than one thousandth the width of a human hair. +Human operators are there to monitor the systems, catch errors and fine-tune the production process for maximum efficiency. +Because each of the hundreds of processing machines is self-enclosed, and essentially airtight, the uniforms operators wear are less constricting than in the previous generation of chip plants, which looked like space suits. +The operators at the East Fishkill factory wear light nylon uniforms, light blue shoe coverings and translucent hair nets made of paper. +They look more like workers in a bakery. +Yes, said Richard Brilla, director of the new facility, "but the donuts are a lot more costly here." +"but the donuts are a lot more costly here." +Each wafer, holding hundreds of chips, is worth $6,000 to $10,000 apiece, depending on what insulation, circuitry and materials are used. +The factory, which opens as the computer chip business is in a slump, is a costly and risky move for IBM. +But it is also an expression of confidence by the company that it can remain a technology leader in the highly competitive global semiconductor industry, and a commitment that the best place to execute that strategy is in upstate New York. +IBM is an exception among computer makers in that it still invests heavily in research to advance the design, manufacture and materials used in semiconductor chips. +Just another wild and crazy guy. +Date with destiny: After Vanderbilt opens with Georgia Tech, the Commodores will play host to Furman, which is Johnson's former team and a Division I-AA powerhouse. +Did he consider trying to cancel?

cuisines, most prominently Indian, Chinese and Vietnamese. +Generally, they are halved lengthwise, the seeds and fibrous pulp removed and the flesh sliced into crescents. +CHRON EDITORS NOTE: Each week, The Chronicle offers readers a look at the more unusual fruits, vegetables and herbs of each season and how to use them. +They are frequently blanched or salted and left to macerate for up to an hour, then rinsed and patted dry to tame the bitterness. +Chinese hot-and-sour soup made with egg white and crabmeat often includes bitter melon. +It also appears in stir-frys, especially those based on pork. +Black bean sauce is a favorite seasoning. +When pickled, bitter melon makes a savory condiment. +In Vietnam, bitter melon halves are stuffed with meat mixtures, such as ground pork with black mushrooms and cellophane noodles, then braised. +Colin Spencer's "Vegetable Book" details an intriguing Indian chapati in which bitter melon, seeds left intact, is sliced, parboiled, then mixed with lightly fried garlic and Indian spices, flour and yogurt. +The mixture is fried like a thick pancake and served, sliced, with rice, naan and other curries. +THE PRODUCE BIN: Bitter melon +SAN FRANCISCO -- A staple of Chinese and Indian cooking, these gourds (botanically, Momordica charantia) with skin like toads grow on climbing vines that can reach 12 feet. +The Chinese and Indian varieties differ little in taste. +Though they resemble squashes, they are natives to Asia, rather than the Americas, but are now cultivated in many regions of the world that boast moderate to warm climates. +Hmong farmers grow them in California's Central Valley, and Mexico has a substantial crop. +SEASON Bitter melons can be found in Asian and specialty produce markets primarily from spring through late fall. +Friday to Sunday, the action moves to Napa, with both members-only and public events at COPIA: The American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts, of which she is an honorary board member. +The schedule Child and her assistant of 14 years, former pastry chef Stephanie Hersh, have laid out is not exactly a senior-citizen routine, even though Child has always been candid about her age and realistic in assessing her own capabilities. +Grande dame of cooking still going strong at 90: Julia Child celebrates in San Francisco +When the Pasadena native moved back to California from her long-time home in the Boston area last year, she also made the move from a condominium she and her late husband, Paul, had purchased many years ago to a progressive retirement home. +She is in the most active of the four levels available, but should the need arise, she can move on to assisted living facilities within the same complex. +"Julia," explains Hersh, "made these retirement plans many years ago. +She thinks it's selfish for people not to make arrangements for their old age in good time." +But so far, age has been kind to the ebullient Child. +In a phone interview a couple of weeks ago, she reported with glee that surgery early this month to remove a small cyst on her spinal cord had "miraculously" cleared up recent problems in walking: "Turned out there is nothing wrong with my legs at all." +So she can once again go shopping, buying whatever seems best on any given day. +Though she had a "nice" kitchen installed in her new home, Child said it's like a ship's galley -- a far cry from the huge, three-pantry kitchen Paul Child designed for their house in Cambridge. +That may well be the best-known kitchen in America, since it became the site of the "French Chef" television programs, which started airing in 1962. +"Back there, we always ate in the kitchen," Child reminisced, "I cannot do that here." +That means her entertaining has been curtailed, even though she still has an active social life with the many friends the Childs made during 22 winters spent in Santa Barbara. +She will have reunions of sorts with her famous kitchen in the next few weeks. +How does it feel to turn 90 and have attained the status of an icon, a living legend? +One of its Peg-Board walls was dismantled and reinstalled at COPIA; the rest went to Washington, D.C., and the Behring Center of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. +(all CQ) Hersh recalls the museum staff's approach to preserving the famous kitchen as awesome: They cataloged and photographed everything, from stove to windows, blinds to drawer contents. +As reinstalled in Washington, the kitchen should be as we all remember it from countless TV shows, "right down to the toothpicks." +Child will go to the capital for the debut of the exhibit right after the Maine birthday bash. +To see her kitchen -- and by extension, herself -- enshrined in the Smithsonian, she said, "will be an odd feeling" and no doubt bring back memories. +But Child is not one to get maudlin about the past, though she does want to keep it alive. +She's already got her next project picked out: A memoir of her and Paul's life in the diplomatic service with his professional photographs and some of her collected recipes. +It will undoubtedly retell how the seeds of her culinary career were sown: Fresh off the boat on their way to Paris and Paul Child's new posting (they had met in Sri Lanka during World War II), they stopped for lunch in Rouen. +That lunch lit a spark that made Julia decide to take classes at the Cordon Bleu, which in turn led to her friendship and collaboration with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, co-authors of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," and, ultimately, to America's culinary revolution. +How to feed a legend +So what do you prepare when asked to cook a birthday dinner for America's most famous culinary personality? +Some of the country's top chefs will answer that question Thursday at the 20 dinners nationwide that will celebrate Julia Child's approaching 90th birthday. +The question may be most acute for three San Francisco chefs preparing the long sold-out dinner at Fifth Floor restaurant, because the honoree herself plans to be there. +They are the host restaurant's executive chef, Laurent Gras; his counterpart at Masa's, Ron Siegel, and Masa pastry chef Keith Jeanminette. +"It seems she loves soups," said Siegel, "so I am picking up on her vichyssoise. +The show, along with her seminal book, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" (1961), revolutionized the way America cooks and eats. +But since it's the middle of summer, I am adding fresh corn to it" -- plus a dollop of caviar for good measure. +In the same vein, Gras is tweaking her salade nicoise, and Jeanminette is adapting her mousse au chocolat to become a spectacular six-layer pecan marjolaine. +He could hardly go wrong. +When Child was asked some years back what she would order for her last meal, she ended the list with "something chocolate for dessert." +Here is the San Francisco chefs' menu: +Corn vichyssoise with caviar +Julia's composed near-nicoise salad +Sonoma duck breast a la Julia Child with crispy pancetta and sweet summer onions and naturally enriched duck sauce +Six-layer pecan marjolaine with Julia's coffee chocolate mousse, cocoa meringue, pecan crust and citrus sorbet +list> +Words of wisdom +She never subscribed to cuisine minceur, cholesterol-free cooking, meat-free meal plans, organic food or any of the other politically correct trends of different times -- and that includes restricted diets, in spades. +Take small helpings +While making light of the difference a day -- or another decade -- makes, Child intends to enjoy her birthday thoroughly. +No seconds +No snacking +Eat a little bit of everything +Drink modest amounts of good wine. +Why we love Julia +It's easy to imagine what Bay Area chefs like Alice Waters or Michael Mina might have to say about Julia Child on her 90th birthday. +But what about Bay Area notables who like to cook but are not connected to a professional kitchen? +Susie Tompkins Buell, socialite and political activist who co-founded the Esprit de Corps fashion company: "When I think of Julia Child I think of the television episode where she's showing you how to make a turkey dinner and the turkey fell on the floor. +It's live and she leans over and picks it up and says, `What the guests don't see won't hurt them.' +You have to be playful and confident about cooking. +She cooks that way, and I cook that way." +Denise Hale, social icon and Liza Minnelli's stepmother: "Julia Child gave to all women one beautiful present: Watching her series you found out you don't have to be perfect." +Francis Ford Coppola, film director: "I think she's a fascinating woman, and I enjoy very much watching her shows with Jacques Pepin." +First, there will be all the public observances, including a sold-out dinner Thursday at San Francisco's tony Fifth Floor restaurant, which -- like dinners that night at 19 other venues across the country -- will benefit the scholarship fund of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (which Child co-founded). +Harry Denton, San Francisco nightclub owner: "My favorite thing about her is her straightforward honesty and that her favorite food is butter. +I love butter, too." +Michael Chabon, author of Pulitzer Prize winner "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay": "All I think of when I think of her now is Dan Akroyd pretending to be her (on Saturday Night Live) and chopping his fingers off and bleeding all over." +The nationwide boycott of Chilean seabass is a potent example of the new activism. +"I have made it a policy of mine never to serve Chilean seabass," +"I have made it a policy of mine never to serve Chilean seabass," said Billy Hahn, executive chef at Jake's Famous Crawfish, a Portland, Ore., landmark since 1892. +"I refuse to sell it." +Chilean seabass, also known as Patagonian toothfish, came into vogue in the 1990s in U.S. restaurants and fish markets. +RESPONSIBLE SEAFOOD SALES ARE THE CATCH OF THE DAY +With rising demand for the firm, oil-rich fish came pirate fishing fleets eager to cash in on its popularity -- even if it meant skirting catch limits and environmental regulations. +But in some areas, the seabass are being overfished. +That is potentially a problem because Chilean seabass are a long-lived species -- living as long as 50 years -- and reproduce slowly, said Susan Buchanan, a spokeswoman for the federal government's National Marine Fisheries Service. +ATTENTION EDITORS: This article from the NEWHOUSE NEWS SERVICE report of TUESDAY, JULY 30, 2002, is available as a "separate buy." +The NMFS estimates that in 2000, more than 16,000 tons of Chilean seabass were legally caught from an internationally regulated harvest area in the Antarctic Ocean. +But more than 32,000 tons may have been taken illegally from those same waters, the fisheries service said. +Impatient with regulators, the National Environmental Trust began a boycott campaign in February called "Take a Pass on Chilean Seabass." +The Washington-based conservation group says more than 530 restaurants have signed on. +A number of restaurants not officially part of the National Environmental Trust boycott also have stopped serving Chilean seabass. +And it's not just the white tablecloth crowd. +Red Lobster, with 660 restaurants in the United States and Canada, dropped Chilean seabass from the menu in the past year because of "sustainability" concerns, said Wendy Spirduso, communications director for the Orlando, Fla.-based chain. +"sustainability" +Some retailers also have pulled Chilean seabass. +"We've discontinued selling swordfish, Chilean seabass, orange roughy and marlin," +"We've discontinued selling swordfish, Chilean seabass, orange roughy and marlin," said Mark Cockcroft, national seafood buyer for Wild Oats Markets, a chain of 103 stores. +"We are also taking a real hard look currently at almost all species of shark, though we haven't made a formal statement about that." +Whole Foods Markets, with 133 stores nationwide, also does not sell Chilean seabass. +All of this comes at a time when Americans are consuming more seafood: 15 to 16 pounds per person each year, compared with 10.3 pounds per person in 1960 and 12.5 pounds in 1980, according to the National Fisheries Institute, an industry association. +At the same time, about half the world's fisheries are being fished to capacity. +The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reports that 47 percent to 50 percent of stocks are "fully exploited," meaning that catches have either reached or are close to maximum limits. +Another 15 percent to 18 percent are "overexploited," and 9 percent to 10 percent have been "depleted or are recovering from depletion." +The seafood industry is less than thrilled about this surge of interest in ocean ecosystems from people who are not scientists. +Fisheries management is best left to the experts, said Thor Lassen, president of Ocean Trust, a research and conservation foundation partly financed by the fishing industry. +"It involves very complicated choices that have to do with the biology of species, their life cycles, how they respond to various changes in the oceans, etc." +When there's a boycott, Lassen said, "it's not environmentalists or chefs making the sacrifice, it's coastal communities." +"it's not environmentalists or chefs making the sacrifice, it's coastal communities." +Rod Moore, executive director of the West Coast Seafood Processors Association, suggests that activists with an agenda are manipulating chefs and retailers. +The conservation groups providing information to chefs and retailers and lists of environmentally appropriate seafoods to consumers are the same groups working to affect fisheries management on the political and regulatory level, Moore said. +That's simply good strategy, said James Leape, deputy director of the conservation program for the David and Lucile Packard Foundation in Los Altos, Calif. +They included support for marine reserves and money for fisheries management reform. +"One of the principal concerns of the Packard Foundation is the preservation of natural resources, particularly in the oceans, and one of the greatest threats is overfishing," +"One of the principal concerns of the Packard Foundation is the preservation of natural resources, particularly in the oceans, and one of the greatest threats is overfishing," Leape said. +(UNDATED) Chefs and seafood retailers are wading into one of the hottest natural resource issues of the day: fisheries management. +The California aquarium also created "Seafood Watch" wallet cards designed to take to restaurants. +More than 600,000 of the cards and seafood guides have been distributed since 2000, said Jennifer Dianto, Seafood Watch program manager at the aquarium. +Chefs and retailers around the country know they must be prepared to deal with customers who arrive with the aquarium's seafood card in hand. +But in a business in which 12-hour shifts are the norm, some chefs worry about their lack of time to stay informed about complicated, rapidly changing fisheries management issues. +Some working chefs say they routinely review conservation group Web sites, government reports and industry sources. +"For me, it's very difficult to be certain that the information which is given to me is real," said Eric Ripert, chef at Le Bernardin, a four-star seafood restaurant in Manhattan. +"I don't know. +I don't have enough information to know, for example, if Chilean seabass is really disappearing or if it's political pressure." +It's no longer unusual for chefs to refuse to serve a species they think to be at risk of extinction or for a retailer to promote seafoods that are abundant and part of a healthy marine ecosystem. +Despite being uncertain of its status, Ripert pulled Chilean seabass. +Le Bernardin's menu also informs diners that the restaurant will not serve swordfish to support efforts "to recover the species." +"to recover the species." +"I don't wish to be a spokesman for any campaign," +"I do it as somebody who has a conscience and is caring." +(Michelle Cole is a staff writer for The Oregonian of Portland, Ore. +She can be contacted at michellecole(at)news.oregonian.com.) +Most say they're driven by the desire to do right by the environment. +Some also say they must listen to their customers' concerns or risk a consumer backlash. +But powerful groups, including the American Medical Association, oppose the idea and have a surprising source of support: psychologists themselves, some of whom call it a radical experiment and fear that the most likely victim will be the science of psychology. +"I am concerned that nonmedically trained people as legitimate prescribers of drugs will not be accepted by the American public," +PRESCRIPTION PRIVILEGES MAKE SOME PSYCHOLOGISTS ANXIOUS +The APA has spent more than $1 million to help state psychological associations develop and lobby for such prescription privileges -- or "RxP" -- legislation. +A total of 31 state psychology associations have task forces dedicated to developing and lobbying for prescription-privileges legislation. +The version endorsed by the APA would license doctoral-level psychologists to independently prescribe psychotropic drugs after completing 300 hours of classroom instruction in neuroscience, physiology and pharmacology, followed by four months' supervised treatment of 100 patients. +Critics say that is not nearly enough compared with other prescribers, such as M.D. psychiatrists or nurse practitioners who have at least six years' medical education and clinical experience. +Neither Davison nor most other RxP opponents doubt the efficacy of medications. +Their greatest objection is to the notion of turning psychology into a prescribing profession. +In a field that has struggled long and hard to prove that mind, mood and behavior can be studied empirically, the past decade, Davison says, has seen "exciting developments" that demonstrate the validity of various psychotherapeutic interventions and the psychosocial-behavioral models on which they are based. +"exciting developments" +"The timing is peculiar to abandon psychological science or to convert it to a medical science," +"The timing

Paul Tibbets, the pilot who would drop the world's first atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Japan, was commander of the unit and chose the men. +A mission to end a war +Karnes was Tibbets' adjutant, the man in charge of writing the orders and cajoling the transfer to the unit of servicemen proficient in bombing, mechanics, ordnance, engineering and communications. +Tibbets hated paperwork. +Karnes thought it was a breeze. +They were a wartime match that changed the world. +Japan surrendered within days of the detonation of the atomic bombs that killed 140,000 people in Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and 70,000 in Nagasaki three days later. +AUSTIN, Texas -- Tom Karnes was dialing for destiny, but not everyone wanted to cooperate. +The story of the 509th is a tale of an elite outfit that lived in a bubble of secrecy and endured the taunts of other war-weary U.S. units that resented sharing a small Pacific island with the 509th, which appeared exempt from combat. +Tinian Island was the staging area where the 509th moved after its creation in the desert. +He never even told his story to students in his 40 years of teaching college. +War is hell, he says, and when it was over, he wanted to come home and rejoin his young family and not dwell on it. +He earned a doctorate in history from Stanford University and taught Latin American history at Tulane University and Arizona State University. +Next week marks the 57th anniversary of the atomic bombings. +Karnes sat in his wood-paneled office in a Quonset hut in the middle of the Great Salt Lake Desert, a black telephone to his ear. +Each year on Aug. 6, "I always think of Paul Tibbets and how he handled unbelievable responsibility," Karnes said. +Karnes met Tibbets when the 29-year-old bomber pilot walked into Karnes' office at Wendover Army Air Field on the Utah-Nevada border. +Karnes was the personnel and classification officer. +He was only a captain, but he had been left in charge at Wendover the day Tibbets surprised them by landing a B-29, a new plane no one at Wendover had seen. +He was searching for a remote installation to train bomber crews and support units in total secrecy. +Tibbets instantly liked the isolation and vast size of Wendover and the surrounding Bonneville Salt Flats. +And he immediately liked Karnes, who showed him around the base. +In Karnes, Tibbets found a kindred spirit -- and a handball partner. +Both were smart, disciplined, quiet men who thrived on efficiency, perfection and self-reliance. +Each had skills the other admired. +Tibbets was a decorated, top-gun pilot, but Karnes could wrangle the military rule book as well as Tibbets could fly. +He was tracking down men to join a group so secret he couldn't admit it existed. +"I don't recall ever having to tell Tom to do anything," +"I don't recall ever having to tell Tom to do anything," Tibbets said in an e-mail this week. +I was very lucky to have Tom. +" +Tibbets quickly returned to Wendover after that first visit to set up his headquarters. +His first order appointed Karnes adjutant for the 509th. +Almost overnight, Wendover became a high-security base filled with off-limit areas covered in barbed wire. +No one was allowed to talk about what they saw or heard, even though most of the 509th had no idea why they were there, except that 15 B-29s were being modified to carry a heavy load. +Karnes and his staff read outgoing mail to make sure no secrets slipped out. +Karnes hated to pry, and skimmed over personal portions of the letters. +On his metal desk were names of military men being ordered into the organization. +Karnes knew the 509th was preparing for a special bombing mission, but he had no idea what kind of bombs were involved. +"I had a friend, the finance officer. +He said that they had split the atom and that we were going to drop an atomic bomb," Karnes said. +"I said, `No."' +A noncommittal "mmm-mm," was the most Karnes could ever get out of Tibbets on matters of the bomb. +"mmm-mm," +By spring, the 509th prepared to move to Tinian Island, near Guam and Saipan. +That would put the B-29s about 1,500 miles from Japan -- a 13-hour round-trip flight. +Karnes was deluged with orders for inoculations, equipment, transfers and promotions. +He was calling bases all over the United States to line up their transfer to the desert outside Salt Lake City. +Karnes arrived on Tinian on May 18, 1945, as part of an advance team that flew in the five C-54 transport planes of the 509th. +On May 29, 1,200 men arrived on the troopship Cape Victory after a five-week trip from Seattle. +Tinian Island had been captured from Japan, and the Seabees, the construction arm of the Navy, had built two large airfields. +The 509th took North Field and stayed in relative isolation from other B-29 units on the island. +The word spread: "This is it. +"This is it. +This is the big mission." +Karnes and hundreds of other men from the 509th stood along the flight line as Tibbets and the Enola Gay took off at 2:45 a.m. on Aug. 6, a warm, tropical night. +"Where is the authority?" +Three B-29s had gone ahead to check the weather at Hiroshima and two other possible bomb sites. +Two other B-29s left in two-minute intervals after Tibbets so their crews could take photos and drop devices to measure radiation and other effects of the bomb. +Tibbets got the word only an hour from Hiroshima that the city's weather was clear. +Early in the flight, the crew had inserted a plug of uranium into the 9,000-pound bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy. +" +The crew slipped on dark glasses to prepare for the blinding flash of the bomb. +At 8:15 a.m. Hiroshima time, the pneumatic bomb-bay doors opened and "Little Boy," equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT, fell out. +The Enola Gay climbed, and Tibbets fought to turn the plane in the air-bending, 155-degree the crews had been practicing off Tinian for months. +He pushed off the dark glasses because he couldn't see to fly. +"Who says this?" +A minute later, the shock wave hit. +The crew was horrified by the purple mushroom cloud that climbed to 10 miles and looked as if it would engulf the Enola Gay. +More shocking was the city of Hiroshima, which was on fire and bubbling like tar. +But he didn't sleep long. +Someone woke him to say Gen. Hap Arnold, chief of the Army Air Forcesin Washington, was on the phone and asking for him. +Each time, Karnes said what he had to: "Call Air Force headquarters if you don't believe me." +Arnold told Karnes, "Tibbets is going to be landing in three to four hours, and I want to give him the Distinguished Service Cross, and it is your job to write up the explanation." +"I had no idea how you wrote up an award. +I'd never written up any award," +I'd never written up any award," Karnes said. +"So I got all of my sergeants out, and they're all digging through their (books.)" +"Call Air Force headquarters if you don't believe me." +When an unsuspecting Tibbets descended from the Enola Gay on Tinian, he barely managed to palm his pipe as Gen. Carl Spaatz, commander of the Strategic Air Forces, stepped forward to pin the medal on his bomb flight coveralls. +Karnes, like the hundreds of others gathered along the flight line, was jubilant. +He knew the war would soon be over and he would be heading home. +A yearof secrecy and hard work wasover. +Three days later, another B-29 from the 509th bombed Nagasaki. +Five days later, Japan surrendered and World War II was over. +Today, Karnes is frustrated that some of his fellow historians, the ones he calls "revisionists," question the wisdom and morality of the bombings. +“I will help you find your Rachel. +I have to warn you, though, you won’t like what I have to tell you.” +“Tell me anyway. +If she’s in trouble, I want to find her, wherever she is.” +My driver took a deep breath. +As he did, his neck stretched in a strange way and I noticed several thin lines, like wrinkles, running across the sides of his neck. +“Nathan,” +“Nathan,” he began in the way that people speak when they start a long and difficult explanation, +“Rachel met someone last night whom it is best never to meet. +This person, like me, is not a member of traditional society. +You see, Nathan, there is …separate from your society …oh, damn it. +I’ve never had to give this conversation before. +Come on, I have something to show you.” +With that, he made a sharp turn onto a side street that I hadn’t noticed before. +We drove between slummy housing and storefronts so decayed that I couldn’t tell whether they were abandoned. +My driver turned again next to an old warehouse that I might have been in once when Mitch took us to a rave in sophomore year. +In front of a few houses, there were cars parked, but there were almost none on the streets. +I got a strange feeling that we weren’t supposed to be driving here. +“Hey,” +I mean – ” +“Just ignore that,” +“Just ignore that,” he told me. +“You’ll be used to the sensation in a moment.” +That just unnerved me more. +As we kept driving, the anxiety grew more pronounced. +My girlfriend Rachel and I would go to the clubs near our school. +I noticed that there were some people on the street, people the same color as the soiled buildings. +He parked and got out. +“Is it really safe to leave the car …” +he was already walking toward the squat, brick-windowed building we were parked next to. +Glancing back at that gleaming glare, I decided that it might be safer to follow the driver than to wait with the car. +I hopped out, ran after him, and reached him just as he was knocking on the door. +Sometimes we'd get word that people were gathering under one of the bridges, and we'd rush down to hit it before the cops broke it up. +Inside, the building opened up. +The ceiling was high and wooden, and I could see part of a DJ’s booth down the hall. +It looked like we were in the back of a nightclub. +Then I looked down and saw what had let us in. +What up?” +The hunchbacked being who let us in held out a scraggly paw for him to slap. +“Nice, my man,” he said as they clasped hands. +“Who’s the freak?” +“This is someone from Ivan’s family. +Did I ever tell you about them?” +“Yeah, one time, man, but you were pretty fucked up. +What’s your problem, kid?” +The hunchbacked man came up to my stomach. +His skin was brown and stretched, like some diseased sapling’s bark. +It pulled back around his fingertips, which bore things that might have been nails or claws. +When he grinned, I saw that his teeth were sharp and small, like a hunting cat’s. +Under matted hair, his eyes had slit pupils. +Nepthys quickly answered for me. +“Girlfriend troubles. +She came down here with someone after a party, and I don’t think it was one of your average pixies.” +“Bummer. +So, what’s the cat look like?” +He turned to me. +Nepthys nodded: “It’s okay, you can trust him. +“It’s okay, you can trust him. +It was easier to talk than to question. +“I …I noticed him from across the room when I was looking around for Rachel. +Boston is a strange place at night. +He was standing right in front of some blue lights, so I couldn’t see him very well, but I noticed the way that the light set off his pale skin. +It almost looked like the light bent around him without actually touching him directly. +He was slim, almost drawn, but he had a kind of … luster to him, I guess. +He wasn’t a person you’d describe with normal adjectives, you know?” +You wouldn't believe half of the shit I've seen, even when I was straight. +They nodded. +“Oh, totally,” +“I get that all the time around here.” +“He was wearing a sort of jacket …maybe blue velvet, I couldn’t tell in the dark, but it had ruffles at the throat, things like that. +He really stood out. +That’s why I couldn’t understand why no-one else remembered him. +I remember that he hardly ever moved, just stared at Rachel. +Even when he talked, he hardly opened his mouth. +I don’t know how he could’ve been heard over the music.” +The two glanced at each other. +asked the hunchback. +“I’ve looked into it a little, and I do think we might be dealing with one of them. +Have you seen anyone like that in your club?” +I can send you to a guy who knows all about them, though. +It was a Friday night. +If this cat’s for real, I bet my friend can tell you everything you need to know.” +“You’re a wonder, Dvorov. +It won’t be long before nightfall.” +“Oh yeah, man. +The hunchback pulled out a scrap of paper and scribbled something on it with his fingernail, then handed it to Nepthys. +“Here you go, man. +Good luck!” +“Thanks, Dvorov. +I owe you one. +Let’s go.” +That last one was to me. +I waved goodbye to the hunchback as we left. +Back on the street, I began to see things that I had never looked for until then. +Still in my initial shock, I suddenly noticed qualities of the people that my mind hadn’t registered when we parked. +The yellow of this sky wasn’t just smog: it had a leeching, heavy dimness. +I saw men three feet tall with dusty black skin and eyes that shed yellow light. +A corpulent, batrachian woman walked along with something on a leash that looked like a massive water beetle. +She checked it there in the restaurant. +Leaning from the rough-hewn window of one building on our right was something with long, green hair draped across the seven gangly arms hanging from its windowsill. +Thirty-five thin fingers waved lazily like seaweed. +I noticed when my back hit the wall that I was walking backwards. +“We, and thousands like us, have been living separately as long as there has been a human society,” +“We, and thousands like us, have been living separately as long as there has been a human society,” said my driver. +Her head tilted into the phone as she listened, her pleather purse on her lap, shining jet against the worn black of her snug Dead Can Dance T-shirt. +I noticed that the wrinkles on his neck expanded as he breathed and realized that they were gills. +“We interact with humans, take advantage of them, grant them boons, sometimes even become their friends, but the majority of both societies have little or no interaction. +At this point, we have removed ourselves so fully from quotidian human existence that we are understood to be fictional. +“The only place with any significant interaction between our worlds is on the fringes of yours. +Love-ins, raves, gatherings where society is put on hold and humans open themselves to emotion: that is where entities from this world tend to go when they cross over, and that is where Rachel met someone from this world. +Those of us who live permanently in this world tend to set up in places like this, where the human population is so overwhelming that they won’t be noticed in the right corner, with the right protective spells.” +He took out the hunchback’s directions and glanced at an alley behind us. +We should get started right away. +There’s no time to waste.” +He saw that I wasn’t moving. +Setting an arm on my shoulder, he said, “Nathan, what you see here might be frightening, but those things you saw are people just like you. +They’ll be as surprised to see a human as you are to see men with seven arms.” +“Thanks. +It’s very reassuring that I’ll not only be an outsider but a curiosity.” +“Nathan, you told me five minutes ago that you would do anything to help Rachel. +Well, she’s here and she needs your help. +Now, the more we can do before nightfall, the better.” +“But why are you even helping me? +Until thirty seconds ago, I didn’t believe in magic or any of that kind of …weirdness.” +“Nathan, I told you: my family owes yours a debt. +In this world, one’s word is a promise. +Now, can we get going?” +I caught my breath and forced myself to look him in the eye. +“He says we should meet him tonight, there’s a good one going on in that church that closed down last month.” +“Only if you stop beginning every sentence with my name.” +“You’ve got a deal. +Let’s go.” +As we headed down the sidewalk, I said, “What is your name, anyway?” +“That’s a question you learn not to ask here. +What you may call me is Nepthys.” +Holding Dvorov’s directions, Nepthys took us around the corner of the building into a skinny alleyway. +I started wondering again how reliable my guide’s credentials were. +Walking through an alley with rubbish piles that occasionally skittered from one wall to the other, he did not inspire confidence. +“Just at this corner,” +“Just at this corner,” he said, interrupting my immanent panic attack, “we’re going to stop and turn three times widdersh – er, counterclockwise, then face east. +“we’re going to stop and turn three times widdersh – er, counterclockwise, then face east. +He pointed at the wall to our right. +“Don’t let the sun fool you. +Then I’m going to shed a little blood, but don’t worry, none of yours.” +“Okay, you might feel silly, but just turn three times to your left. +Try to keep in time with me.” +We spun around three times, and then something flashed across Nepthys’ hand and he shook a spray of blood onto the dust. +“I don’t know … it was going to be just us tonight. +The blood flashed into flames as soon as it hit the ground, and I jumped back. +Nepthys walked towards it and pressed his bloody palm against it, opening the door. +“Are you coming?” +We slipped through the door and came out, not inside the building, but on a busy street in a completely different part of town. +The sky, cupping over squat buildings, was less yellow here, and stands were set up everywhere the way I’d picture a market in the Middle East. +I’m not sure I’m up for a night out.” +Nepthys took us immediately to the right, where he led us to a cart filled with herbs. +Spiced air hanging around the cart carried tarragon, rosemary, and scents I couldn’t place. +The thing tending the cart reminded me of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland: it had the same opium-dream wise man quality I’d always given the caterpillar. +I was feeling calm and private that night. +Its arms were thin and long enough to reach any herbs from its cushion in the center of the cart, and with its long, many-shouldered pole of a torso, it rose over our heads even while seated. +Its face was small and wrinkled, with penny-sized smoked glasses balanced on its thin nose. +“Would the gentlemen care to purchase some fine herbs?” +it asked. +“There are no finer to spice a meal, nor purer to mix a potion. +It seemed like tonight’s darkness was small and personal, cupped hands offering a place for two, not the burning, open darkness of a rave. +Please, let yourselves breathe the fine scent of these herbs.” +“We’re not here to browse,” +“We’re not here to browse,” Nepthys told him. +“We’d like to see a man about some garlic.” +“We have many fine cloves of garlic here on the cart, gentle sir. +If – ” +“You know what I mean. +Please, if we could see him, we would be much obliged. +It hissed thoughtfully. +“True, true. +Step behind the cart and enter through the door there, using your left hand to open the door and your right – ” +he looked at me “ – to close it.” +“ – to close it.” +“Thank you.” +Nepthys bowed slightly and we walked behind the cart. +The latch opened under Nepthys’ left hand with a clack! +The door took us to the bottom of a flight of wooden stairs. +At the top was one door. +We entered. +The room held a bed, a bookcase, and a desk with one chair. +Its only light came from a dying candle on the desk whose spark etched shadows in the roughly planked walls. +I smelled matted hair and cedar chips. +He opened one eye when we came in but did not move. +“We’re here for information about a vampire,” +“We’re here for information about a vampire,” said Nepthys. +“Oh, shit!” +I said. +“Sorry, kid. +–Would you do us the kindness of helping us to identify an individual?” +“Wait, Nepthys – you said nothing about vampires. +Are …look, are they as bad as people in my world think they are?” +It’s been over a week, and I want to dance. +“I don’t know. +They’re almost as rare here, and I’ve never heard a reliable story of someone successfully fighting a vampire.” +“Only unsuccessfully, right?” +“No, those people don’t usually leave stories.” +“Oh, thanks, Nepthys, for your confidence-inspiring tales of experience. +So they’re probably worse than we think, okay, that’s great. +Now can you tell me what your master plan of attack will be before we go spinning counterclockwise into an Anne Rice novel?” +Let’s go together, you know you’ll have fun once you get into it.” +Don’t forget, she’s your girlfriend. +Now calm down while I talk to this gentleman. +I can hear your heartbeat from over here.” +It came in through my mother's blood; my Russian grandmother would always tell me stories, bylichkas, of ancestors with the "second sight", stupid mill owners who discovered bags of gold after letting a special fish off their hooks, and dark strangers who used to appear to help or interfere at crucial times. +I shut up and tried to breathe. +Nepthys turned back to the little man on the bed, who had not moved. +“Please, accept our apologies. +As you can see, our situation is of personal importance to the young man. +Now: may we ask you a few questions about an individual we believe to be a vampire? +It would be a great help to us.” +She bit the inside of her bottom lip, looking at me like I was breaking her poor, sweet heart. +The little man drew a few loud breaths that died in the wooden room’s tight air. +Finally, in a pinched rasp, he said, “My information is purely for the purposes of a collector. +“My information is purely for the purposes of a collector. +I do not want to provide help to someone who would do harm.” +If there is any boon that you would have us do in return, we would be glad to do it.” +He continued to lie in place, still breathing heavily. +I tried to keep myself calm. +“I have need of a certain stone that I once possessed. +It would allow me to leave this bed, despite my current illness. +My problem is that it was not made in this realm, but by a human, and only a human may handle it. +If you would fetch me this stone, I would tell you what I can.” +“Of course we will fetch you the stone,” +“Of course we will fetch you the stone,” Nepthys assured him. +“You have our thanks.” +Outside, the thing at the herb cart nodded when we mentioned the stone. +When we reached the street, I expected some sort of temple, or a row of antiquaries, or at least a sleazy, black-market relics merchant. +Instead, it looked like we were in the red-light district: women who probably wanted more than our money eyed us from the alleys. +Nepthys didn’t need to warn me not to speak to them. +“Okay, Rachel. +He took us to the door of a building like a short pagoda that had a sign hanging over it showing a face with hands uplifted, like a saint under G d’s light, and handcuffed. +Let’s go, you’re probably right.” +A large woman, similarly decorated, quickly drifted up to us. +“Good evening, gentlemen,” +“Good evening, gentlemen,” she said. +“May I invite you to have a cup of tea?” +She grinned and gave me a kiss across the table, her lips soft and firm and sticking just enough that she gave the feeling you were really kissing, not just pressing your face into someone else’s. +“No, thank you,” +“No, thank you,” said Nepthys, “we regret that we cannot take up your kind offer. +“we regret that we cannot take up your kind offer. Are you the proprietor of this shop?” +Are you the proprietor of this shop?” +“Yes,” +“Yes,” answered the woman. +“I am Madame Entera, at your service. +She raised an eyebrow. +“Are you? +Well, we don’t get many customers asking about that item. +Please, walk this way.” +She led us past the silks and through an arch decorated with pictures of wooden ships and what looked like African tribesmen. +The next room had mosaics of what could have been Rome, with men in simple tunics working in a vineyard on one wall and men in odd, floppy hats on the other. +After this, we went up a flight of stairs and past a row of doors barred on the outside. +“Excuse me,” +“but may I ask what is kept in these rooms?” +The woman laughed. +“Why, the merchandise, of course,” she said. +Nepthys leaned close to my ear. +“This is a slave shop,” +“This is a slave shop,” he explained quietly. +The woman paused before another door, this one not barred but locked. +As she brought out the key, she said, “We deal mostly in fairly mundane trades, but there are a few customers with more unusual needs and people willing to sell unusual items. +“We deal mostly in fairly mundane trades, but there are a few customers with more unusual needs and people willing to sell unusual items. +We’ve had genies, indentured sorcerers, even golems and the occasional elf. +This is one of the stranger items, though. +It’s been in our collection for several years because only a human can activate it. +If we only had a human on our staff, we could have done so ages ago and sold it off, but we have no such luck.” +She opened the door and took us past several doors marked with odd geometrical designs to another locked room. +“Here it is,” she said. +With a flourish, she opened the door to reveal a room with walls inlaid with lapis and gold wire, intricate patterns like a Czar’s jewelry box crawling down the walls. +In its center, under a spearing, white light, was a golden table draped with a blue velvet cloth, on which lay a gray, plum-sized rock. +“Let’s not get fucked up tonight, though, okay, Rache? +“A marvel, isn’t it?” +she said. +“That such a rock could hold so much magic – it’s a wonder.” +“That it is,” +“That it is,” Nepthys assured her. +“What would convince you to part with it?” +“You wouldn’t give me the human, would you? +No, +No,” +she said, seeing his expression, “that would make the stone rather useless.” +“that would make the stone rather useless.” +Nevertheless, she gave me what I can only describe as an “appraising glance”. +I have never felt so appraised in all my life. +“He looks healthy,” +“He looks healthy,” she said, “how about a pint of his blood?” +“how about a pint of his blood?” +We don’t – ” +“A pint? +Madame, I have his health to consider.” +I have his health to consider.” +“Half a pint, then – and his hair.” +“Well, kid, what do you think? +Remember, this is your quest. +I’m not giving my blood.” +“Sure, babe. +“As if I wanted it,” +“I think it’s a fair deal, considering the return,” +“I think it’s a fair deal, considering the return,” he told me, “but it’s up to you.” +“but it’s up to you.” +Come on, I don’t have to get fucked up every time we go out just to enjoy myself. +I thought about it, then nodded. +“Marvelous!” cried the woman. +She took us downstairs to a small room behind a red silk draping. +There was a wooden chair, where she sat me down and asked me to wait. +Soon, she came back with a lidded ceramic bowl, which she put on the table beside me. +“Roll up your sleeves,” +“Roll up your sleeves,” she told me. +She opened the bowl and carefully, gingerly brought out a fat, dripping leech. +It must have been larger than my finger. +She laid it gently inside the hollow of my left arm. +The cold thing stretched and cast around with its sucker-mouth until it found the soft spot inside my elbow, where it softly sucked on and began to work its way under my skin. +I thought that I could feel a slight itching. +Let’s not waste any more time.” +“They take about a quarter-pint each,” said Madame Entera, drawing out another skinny leech. +“They’re quick, too. +We’ll be done with them before your hair is finished.” +Then she clapped her hands and brought in the barber. +Half an hour later, I left the room pale and bald, running my fingers over my scalp. +She stood up and I followed her out to the street. +At least the barber hadn’t nicked me. +Madame Entera took me back up to the stone’s room, where Nepthys was waiting by the door. +“Be careful you don’t let him touch it until you’re ready to use it,” +“Be careful you don’t let him touch it until you’re ready to use it,” the woman admonished Nepthys as she slipped the stone into a grey cloth pouch and handed it to him. +“Thank you for doing business at our house, and I hope to see you again!” +“Come on,” +“Come on,” said Nepthys, “you could use a drink.” +It was dark enough that I could actually see a few stars through the screen of city light. +“you could use a drink.” +We hit a bar on the next street over. +“Vodka, straight up,” +“Vodka, straight up,” Nepthys told the bartender as we sat down at the counter, “and a Bloody Mary for my friend. +“and a Bloody Mary for my friend. +Make it extra bloody.” +When our drinks came, he poured a dollop of something from an inner pocket into my Bloody Mary. +“That should help,” +“That should help,” he said. +“You could run on empty with a little of that stuff. +It won’t refill your blood supply, but while that’s in your system, you won’t even need blood.” +He grinned at me. +I took about half of the Bloody Mary in one gulp and then ate the celery. +“Okay,” +“Okay,” I said, “now that we’re sitting down, can you explain a little more of what’s going on here? +“now that we’re sitting down, can you explain a little more of what’s going on here? +I mean, what is this place, really?” +He thought about that. +Without hearing the car horns, I could almost taste the air of late March through the street fumes. +This place is just a little of both. +In America, things are still weird after the European conquest. +The natives are still here, but so is everyone else. +The Europeans mostly manifest as something like the underground society of your cities. +We aren’t quite what you’d expect from reading the Grimms.” +“What do you mean?” +“Okay, take elves.” +He caught the bartender’s eye for another shot. +“You figure they’re some Lincoln-green pretty boys who run around in the forest with bows and live forever in halls of glory, right? +Not in America. +Here, they’re the snotty rich who show up in clubs because they like the ‘gritty ambience’ – you have them in your world, too, right? +Except it’s worse here because they have centuries to grow disaffected and flirt with exciting and dangerous elements of society’s lowest rungs. +Some of them actually commit to this society, though. +There’s an amazing DJ who’s an elf. +He has a real ear for it. +When they do decide to do something for real, they’re always the best at it.” +If it was March, that meant that we’d been together almost a year and a half. +He downed the second shot. +It’s exhausting to talk to those people. +One wrong word and you find yourself cursed with infinite earwax or something. +So what else do you want to know, Nathan?” +“I don’t know …hey, what about the nature spirits, things like that? +I mean, where do the dryads fit in a place like this?” +That made me a little sad. +They were always my favorite part of the Greek myths I read in elementary school. +“Well, what about you? +“My parents came over from Russia, just like your family. +My real name is a little more ethnically appropriate, but we don’t toss those around in this place. +It was last February, after the winter break, that we moved in together. +They were spirits of a certain branch of the Volga and the village based around a mill on that tributary. +When the Russian government dammed the river, my parents decided that instead of dying with the river, they would stick with the people of the village they’d protected. +I was born here, and I was lucky enough not to get attached to any particular river. +He took another shot of vodka. +“Shouldn’t you be going light on the vodka? +I mean, we might have a lot of work ahead of us.” +“Are you kidding? +I can drink like a fish, kid. +Now spring was back, under the concrete, and I could smell it even here. +We should get going, though. +Still woozy?” +I nodded. +“A little walking should get the stuff into your system. +Come on, let’s go.” +As we left the bar, I asked to see the rock. +“Why?” +Nepthys asked. +“I’m just curious. +I want to see what a magic stone looks like. +Don’t worry, I’ll be careful not to touch it.” +He thought about it, then handed me the pouch. +I undid the strings and let the pouch sit on my palm so that I could see the stone inside. +It looked like a normal river stone, a gray oval with a white stripe through it. +Suddenly, what looked like a little kid darted out of an alley and almost ran into me. +I almost tripped over him, and the stone went flying out of the pouch. +Nepthys tried to grab it, but, by reflex, I caught it first. +“Isn’t it an amazing night, Rache? +Immediately, I felt it grow warm and knew that I had done something very stupid. +“Nathan,” said Nepthys, “I think that you just did something very stupid.” +“I agree,” +“I agree,” I told him. +The stone was as warm as human flesh now, and there was a sort of glow that might have been light or just the stone’s soft heat, I don’t know. +Even the city feels alive when spring comes.” +Then there was light, a kind of rosy glow, and I felt the stone slip out of my hand to float in the air. +The air around me seemed to still sound, and light came in around the corners of my eyes. +“Do you know what this thing does?” +I shouted, hardly able to hear myself. +Nepthys was saying something that looked like, “I have no idea!” +“I have no idea!” +but I couldn’t hear him. +The light in the corners of my eyes rushed in, converging on the rosy glow around the stone, and for a moment I was blind. +“Taxi!” +There was no sign of the stone. +“I think I understand why we got that stone from a slave shop,” +“I think I understand why we got that stone from a slave shop,” said Nepthys. +She waved down a car and pulled me in. +Her arms and legs were wrapped in white linen up to her wrists and ankles, and soft, white leather boots held her feet. +When she didn’t move, I knelt down and put a hand to her brow. +As soon as I touched her, her eyes opened into mine and she grabbed my wrist. +I couldn’t move. +“Name me,” she said. +I opened my mouth to ask for an explanation, but Nepthys stopped me. +“Don’t name her ‘What did you say?’, okay? +‘What did you say?’ +The next thing that comes out of your mouth is probably what she’ll respond to until we figure out how to put her back.” +I was at a loss. +I’d never named anyone before. +I thought back to one time when I’d been thinking about raising a family and remembered that I’d always liked the name – +“Amy.” +Nepthys looked at me incredulously. +“You awaken a magical being of unknown power from an enchanted stone, having purchased her with your own blood from a slave dealer, and you name her ‘Amy’?” +Amy smiled at me and let go of my arm, but not before she brought my fingers to her lips and gave them one soft kiss. +I stood up and Amy stood with me. +“So …back to our garlicky friend?” +“I suppose so,” +“I suppose so,” said Nepthys, “and you’d better pray to whatever god you think will listen that he won’t care we woke her up.” +“and you’d better pray to whatever god you think will listen that he won’t care we woke her up.” +We walked back to the herb stand. +The vendor stared a little at Amy, his arms pausing in midair as he lit the stand’s little lamp, but we walked right around him and up the wooden stairs. +When Nepthys opened the little man’s door, he rolled over and grinned to see us, but when Amy walked in, he blanched. +“What!” +he screamed. +“You idiots! +You woke it up? +“But …but sir,” +“But …but sir,” I said, “are you sure she’s no help to you?” +“are you sure she’s no help to you?” +“Not if you named it already, you ninny, and I’m sure that you have! +I heard the pulse already. +Fools! +Get out of my sight now – unless you know how to put it back? +Now leave, before I call the rats on you.” +We left. +Nepthys shook his hands at me like he wanted to wrap them around my neck. +We slammed against the doorway and I was laughing too, the pulse close enough to shake the doorframe and set up vibrations in my chest, Rachel in my arms because she’d used me to soften her landing. +“do you know how much you’ve set us back? +I thought about Rachel; in the excitement, I had forgotten why we were chasing down vampire experts. +Come on, we’re heading out.” +ome on, we’re heading out.” +He held the door for me and Amy when we reached the bottom of the stairs. +Walking outside, I was shocked to see that it was already dark. +“Night comes quickly here,” +“Didn’t I warn you?” +“Okay,” +“Okay,” he said as we hit the street, “we’re going to see another friend of mine. +“we’re going to see another friend of mine. +First, though, we are getting you a hat. +You look ridiculous with a shaved head.” +At a nearby stand, he grabbed the first hat that would cover my head and might pass back in real Boston. +It was a black baseball cap that read “Dead Can Dance” in gold across the front. +“Dead Can Dance” +Amy liked it, I think. +She still hadn’t spoken since I named her, so I wasn’t sure. +He took us to a squat, long building whose roof bulged up like the ribs of a gutted animal. +The black door opened as we came up to it, and a pale man opened the door. +He was naked, but there was nothing to hide: his body was hairless and completely smooth. +I only say “he” because he didn’t have a hint of femininity. +His eyes were white. +From behind him, I could hear something that sounded like a remix of the Cure’s “A Forest”. +“A Forest” +“I’m here to see Isis. +Tell her that Nepthys is here to see her.” +Nepthys walked straight past him and I tried to keep up, taking Amy’s small hand so that she wouldn’t lag behind. +I shivered as I walked past the pale man’s blank eyes, wondering what they were staring at. +Amy gave my hand a squeeze. +Nepthys lead us down a hallway that matched the building’s façade, a vaulted, ribbed intestine of a hallway, whose black walls looked unsettlingly organic. +We kissed and slipped inside. +Then there was a door, which opened as we approached. +Inside, the space opened into a wide, square chamber mirrored and so dark that it could have been any size. +The old vaulted church was stripped down: there was no cloth on the altar, just a DJ’s toolkit and his beer. +These were incontestably male. +“Nepthys!” +said the woman, slithering up across the furs to sit up. +As she rose, her robes fell open and I realized that, except for what looked like a red silk kimono, she was naked – naked and stunning. +I had an urge to cover Amy’s eyes. +Please, come and sit beside me, and introduce your friends.” +“This man is here in search of his lover, who was stolen from him in the human world,” +“The girl is …surprising,” +“The girl is …surprising,” he concluded. +“And I am Isis,” +“And I am Isis,” said the woman, offering her hand to me. +I took it and, dropping to one knee, gave her fingers a small kiss. +It seemed appropriate. +“It is an honor to meet you, Lady Isis,” +“It is an honor to meet you, Lady Isis,” I said. +She laughed, liquid, alluring, alarming. +“Oh, precious! +He has lovely manners, Nepthys, despite his poor taste in hats. +You may leave out the ‘Lady,’ boy. +I don’t wish to be reminded of how old I actually am.” +A wave to the pale men brought a bottle of red wine and a platter of grapes. +Through the dark, I could see three bolts left in the wall from where they’d taken down the crucifix. +I hope I can start by offering some wine.” +Nepthys poured out wine for three of us. +“May I have a little more of what you gave me before, Nepthys?” +I asked. +“I still feel a little woozy.” +He poured a dollop of the clear liquid into one cup and passed it to me. +The wine’s rich scent had a touch of something chemical that I recognized from the bar, but it filled my mouth and sank into my veins with reassuring warmth. +Isis’ nostrils twitched slightly. +This story might be interesting. +Does it have anything to do with why your head is shaved?” +“It was part of the price for this girl, who was a rock at the time,” +“It was part of the price for this girl, who was a rock at the time,” explained Nepthys. +“I have a feeling that she was worth the trade,” +Amy, still holding my hand, smiled. +“She may be at that,” +“She may be at that,” said Isis, gazing at her. +“That sweet, small nose, and her soft lips – she’d kiss well, I should think, if gently. +A confessional too beaten-up to have been sold was shaking in a way that suggested activity inside, and where the pews had been taken out, a couple hundred people were testifying to the DJ’s moving sermon. +She has good blood under her cheeks. +Amy didn’t blush, and I hoped that she didn’t understand what Isis was saying. +“She would have been worth it,” +“if this fool hadn’t accidentally woken her up before we could give her to our contact. +He was going to give us valuable information for her.” +“Now I understand why you’re here,” +“Now I understand why you’re here,” said Isis. +“You know I wouldn’t come to you if I could get this information another way,” +“You know I wouldn’t come to you if I could get this information another way,” said Nepthys apologetically. +“Mmm,” +I couldn’t tell what the thoughtful look on her face meant. +“I think that the person who stole the girl we’re looking for might be a vampire. +Isis …you know some way to locate the undead, don’t you?” +“I do. +Describe this one to me. +If I know him, I can find him. +If not, you’ll have to bring me something to work with.” +Nepthys looked at me. +Isis set her elbows in the fur and rested her head on her hands while I spoke and tried not to stare at her full, hanging breasts. +When I had told her all that I could remember, she blinked her black lashes and said, “I remember him.” +“You do?” +“That’s amazing!” +I would have sworn to you that he was dead. +He should be. +I hope that you can do a better job than the last lot.” +“All right, then. +Let me see if I can find him.” +Isis closed her eyes and lifted her hands. +A dark glow coalesced around her palms. +Amy leaned forward, looking amazed. +The glow reflected on her pink face, casting a sickly pallor over her heartbeat-strong cheeks. +Tiny drops of blood began to seep out of Isis’ palms as her brow creased. +Her candy lips twisted into a frown. +The dark glow grew stronger and larger, filling the air for about a foot around her hands. +Rachel stepped forward into the crowd while I took a moment to drink in the ceiling’s blue-lit, shadowed vault and the light-catching haze from who-knows-what rising between the DJ and the crowd. +In her palms, the droplets of blood swelled into small pools. +The dark glow began to flicker, and Isis’ frown of concentration became one of worry. +The pools in her hands grew deeper. +Then her fingers tensed and her arms began to shake. +The blood in her palms, still filling up, began to ripple. +Shivers swept through her body, and Nepthys reached out to touch her but I stopped him. +He glanced at me with honest concern, probably the first honest moment he’d shown me: ‘Is she all right?’ +‘Is she all right?’ +Her hands twitched and a drop of blood shook out, splashing on the crease of her thigh and hanging to one strand of the black hair between her legs. +Isis collapsed on the fur, strings cut. +Now Nepthys lunged forward, took her by the arms. +“Isis, what happened? +She shook her head, rubbing her face into the white fur and murmuring something. +“What did you say?” +asked Nepthys. +She rolled onto her back, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. +For the first time, she looked vulnerable. +When she finally spoke, I had to lean close to hear her. +“I found your vampire,” +“I found your vampire,” she said, “but he might know that someone’s looking for him. +“but he might know that someone’s looking for him. He’s taken great pains to keep himself hidden. +He’s taken great pains to keep himself hidden. +You should look for him at Dvorov’s as quickly as you can.” +She turned to me with tired sympathy. +Hurry, though, and you might find him before he leaves.” +A twitch of her fingers summoned her pale servants. +“One of these will lead you out.” +I stood, and one of her servants took me and Amy to the door. +I looked back to see Nepthys whispering something to her. +He stood to go, but she caught his sleeve and pulled him back for a moment. +There was a terrific echo, each beat reverberating inside of the next, and the old stained-glass windows rattled in their frames. +I turned back to the door. +“Come on, Amy,” I said, “he’ll be along soon.” +Nepthys caught up with us after a minute and walked silently to the end of the hall. +When we got there, another pale servant was waiting for us with a box of dark stained wood. +He offered it to Nepthys, who opened the box: on velvet lining, a wooden hammer and two stakes. +“Mountain ash,” +“Mountain ash,” said Nepthys. +“That was very kind of her.” +Closing the box, he paused beside the open door and looked back at me. +“I really hope we find your Rachel,” +“I really hope we find your Rachel,” he said. +“I know a quick way to Dvorov’s,” +“I know a quick way to Dvorov’s,” said Nepthys. +“I bet he’s kicking himself now for not having a way to contact me.” +In a few minutes, we were back to the first door we’d knocked on in this town and Dvorov himself was greeting us. +“Yo, my man Nep! +You got the sucker already?” +“No, but we got a tip that he might be in your club. +Have you seen him?” +“Here, man? +You’re crazy. +“Anyway, long time, man.” +“That’s odd. +On the dance floor, people moved with their eyes closed and their hands in the air. +Do you mind if we check it out anyway? +I have a real feeling that he’s in here somewhere.” +Dvorov glanced over his shoulder, a little nervous. +“I guess, man, but be quick. +We’ll be in and out in a minute.” +“No, he said that his research was purely academic, not for hunters.” +“Bummer. +I guess I probably should’ve known, though. +I mean, he is kinda tight about that stuff.” +“Anyway, this is the dance floor, man. +Good luck.” +Something with too many arms was manning the turntables above the crowd, which looked more impenetrable tonight than ever before. +Then I saw the bar on the other side of the crowd and knew where to start looking. +I danced with Rachel for a while, but then something by the bar seemed to be pulling her eyes. +I tried to slip along the edge of the crowd. +Things with scales and claws kept flailing against me, pressing me into the wall, but I took a breath and kept moving. +My nose filled with a reek of thick sweat. +The music began to build, and a strobe came on. +Somewhere toward the center of the dance floor, I heard a howl that sent bitter winds under my clothing – for a second, I was back with my family in Russia, hiding from the cold. +Then I felt a tug on the back of my shirt and noticed that Amy was following me. +I gathered her under my arm. +Dvorov was somewhere behind me, too, negotiating delicately through his patrons. +Just in front of me, a massive thing slammed into the wall, sending up a cloud of granite dust. +It slumped to the floor and I realized that it was a werewolf. +Its haunches twitched in time to the music. +As it started to rise, a man with thick, scaled skin stretched across rippling muscles leapt on him. +She told me that she was heading for a drink and slipped out of the crowd. +I thought that my odds were better on the dance floor. +Holding Amy in my arms as we ducked between the crush of dancers, I started to wonder if the chances of finding this vampire were even good enough to merit this. +A woman who could have been an elf twitched and jerked beside me, fingers trembling at the torn edges of her clothing. +Then a looming shape to my right fell away, and I saw him in a flash of the strobe, his black eyes staring deadly into the crowd. +The creature blocking my vision moved back, but I had seen all that I needed to see. +A bleeding, eyeless thing shuddered and beat its arms against me, but I ducked around it and toward the bar. +When she hadn’t come back halfway through the next song, I glanced over at the bar. +It was Dvorov. +He pulled my ear down to his mouth. +“You seen enough, man?” +he shouted. +“Yes,” +“Yes,” I called back, “I saw him! +“I saw him! +He’s sitting right there at the bar!” +Dvorov tried to peek through the crowd, but it had shifted again and we couldn’t see a thing. +“I don’t think he’s there,” +“It must have been wishful thinking.” +“No, I saw him! +I have to hurry, too! +Who knows how long he’ll stick around?” +“Listen, man, he’s not there! +I’m telling you, it’s not even worth checking the bar!” +“Don’t do this, kid! +It was just a little set-up where someone had stacked a few crates and brought something alcoholic to share, mostly beer. +It’s a dumb idea. +Even if you did find this vampire cat, he’d tear you apart! +I shook him off and squeezed between two dancing nymphs, getting almost to the edge of the dance floor. +Suddenly, Amy screamed. +I whirled around and threw up my arm just in time to knock Dvorov away. +His eyes were glowing red, and he had bared a set of fangs that could probably take my hand off. +The dancers near us tried to clear some space. +He jumped at my arm while I was still off-balance, and I felt the surge of adrenaline that comes right when your body realizes that it’s too late to save itself. +On the floor was Dvorov’s head, separated from his body by several feet and a growing puddle of dark blood. +Nepthys stood over him with a blue sword in his hand. +It flashed in the strobe where it wasn’t streaked with Dvorov’s blood. +“He wasn’t the only one with a secret or two,” +“He wasn’t the only one with a secret or two,” he said by way of explanation. +“You spotted our boy, didn’t you? +I bet his hide-out is nearby, too. +Let’s hurry.” +Rachel was standing with a plastic cup, looking like she was having a conversation, but I couldn’t see anyone else there. +He wiped off the sword and sheathed it in a scabbard now belted to his hip. +The crowd parted for us. +The vampire glanced up when he saw the crowd split and his eyes flashed when he noticed us. +In a blink of the strobe light, he was on his feet and dashing from the room. +“Come on!” +shouted Nepthys. +We chased after him, Amy keeping up valiantly behind us. +Luckily, the vampire turned off after three stories. +He ran down a hallway and slipped behind one of the doors, but Nepthys was close behind him and left it open for me. +I called out to Amy to shut the door in case the vampire had any friends who might be trying to follow us. +Nepthys urged me on from the back of the room, then made a turn out of sight. +When I came to the door at the end of the room, it looked like it had been torn off its hinges. +I didn’t imagine that Nepthys had done it, and it wasn’t without alarm that I ran after him. +A black hallway opened into a space like a cathedral. +The vault rose into obscurity above me, and a massive rose window stood ahead of me. +The panes looked dyed black, and only a few cold beams slipped through the filter. +Footsteps echoed through the stone chamber, and the sound reflected back to me from everywhere. +When I asked her if she'd ever seen them – before I was old enough to stop believing, I mean – she would always look sad and tell me, "No, not since the family came to America has anything happened to us. +I couldn’t tell how many people were running, much less where they were. +On the steps in front of the altar, I saw pale forms and realized that they were Rachel and two other women. +He stood in front of a blue light, so I couldn’t see him clearly, but what I saw was memorable. +Then I heard Nepthys shout, “Nathan! +“Nathan! +Behind you!” +I whirled and dropped in time to see the vampire shoot over my head, leaping like a panther. +There was Nepthys, on the other side of the pews, holding the wooden box in his hand. +I pulled out the hammer and one of the stakes. +He leapt over the pews, soaring like a grasshopper, and drew a gleaming knife in midair. +I dodged, but he tossed it, and I held the box in front of my face. +The blade lodged in the wood, its silver point penetrating the velvet and nearly reaching my skin. +My arms shook from the force of his throw. +His first move pulled out the dagger, almost wrenching my arms from their sockets as I held on to the box, and the second shattered the box with a crushing punch that sent me reeling backwards. +He wore a jacket of what might have been blue velvet, and his hair gleamed black against his white skin. +I dropped the splinters and the broken second stake and raised my hammer, ready to drive the ash spike into his heart. +Behind him, I saw Nepthys running between the pews. +I braced my legs against the stone floor and he was on me. +I raised the stake; he drew back the dagger for a slash that could doubtless open my neck from throat to spine. +The stake went down, there was a blur, and then my hands were empty and I felt pain under my jaw. +Two points of fire opened in my throat for an instant, then all went numb. +Taste, hearing and touch became a single blur, and I do not know if my eyes were open. +My mind began to dissipate, but then I felt the pain withdraw and a lifeless voice said, “This one’s blood isn’t worth drinking.” +“This one’s blood isn’t worth drinking.” +Hands closed on my neck and I felt my spine crack. +I must have fallen to the floor then. +I could perceive Nepthys’ sword flashing over me, and I heard steel crack, then bone. +The blue haze seemed to stop just shy of his pallor, setting off his striking face without illuminating its details, and his wrists flashed white in the darkness. +I thought I heard Rachel’s voice blearily calling for me. +I was content to let myself drift away, and I had almost forgotten the body lying with broken neck on the cathedral’s hard tiles when I felt a warm touch on its cheek. +A girl’s voice, soft and almost recognizable, spoke, “Nathan.” +“Nathan.” +I felt my head turn and something in my neck reconnected. +Then my eyes opened and Amy handed me the hammer and stake. +I stood and turned toward the altar. +The vampire was walking just steps ahead of me. +I stepped up behind him and raised my hands, which almost seemed to be glowing. +Then the stake came down into his back and one, two, three strikes with the hammer drove it in. +The vampire fell forward and blood began to flow from his mouth. +Behind me, Amy was kneeling beside Nepthys, whose arm and rib cage were knitting back together like a wooden toy that falls apart when its string is released but draws itself together at a slight tug. +I pulled the vial of liquid that he’d been giving me from his pocket and ran to the altar. +Rachel, her clothes torn and her face drawn, looked like she might cry when she saw me. +I pulled her into my arms and she tried to put hers around me. +“My fuckin’ hero,” +“My fuckin’ hero,” she whispered. +She nodded and he took her arm. +I watched them through the crush of dancers as they squeezed along the wall, and the feeling came to me that something was very wrong. +Saturday morning, I woke up and saw that she still hadn’t come home. +I called Mitch and our other friends, hoping that she’d crashed at one of their houses, but I had no luck. +A couple of them remembered seeing her leave, but none of them had seen the thin man with her. +I didn’t know how they could miss such exotic features, even in that distorting light. +Nathan’s Bylichka +I caught a taxi back to the church. +It was still a mess, but everything bigger than a soda can had disappeared. +I walked across what had been the dance floor. +The church was completely different now: sunlight fell through the stained glass, catching dust that still hung in the air and sending a dry, healthy warmth into the edges of the room, through the stone and the powdery concrete that had been covered last night by flesh and flashing lights. +I realized that Rachel had disappeared without leaving a clue and I had no way to do anything but wait for her to show up – which, if she were in a situation where I should be doing something, would probably be never. +Standing in the center of the church, I took out my cell phone and called the police. +“I need to file a missing persons report. +…Rachel Frieze. +Last night, walking on West 2nd street around – maybe eleven or twelve o’clock. +What? +…But, sir, this is an unusual situation. +She didn’t come home last night, none of her friends have seen her. +…Sir, if she’s in any danger, it will probably be too late to help her by that time. +…Yes, sir. +I understand.” +The police wouldn’t file a report for someone who’d been missing overnight. +Walking out of the church, a little gust of cold air caught me by surprise. +A cold front must have hit while I was inside. +Glancing down the street, I realized that I didn’t have a friend to drive me home this time, and it was a long walk back to the streets where taxis ran. +I pulled my T-shirt’s sleeves down my arms as far as they’d go, but I wasn’t ready for cold. +Walking didn’t build up much heat; it just moved the air enough to chill me more. +After I’d walked about a block, a car rolled up behind me. +It slowed down as it neared me and I started to worry. +This wasn’t the best of neighborhoods. +I kept my eyes straight ahead and tried to walk more quickly without showing it. +I heard an automatic window roll down. +“Hey,” said a male voice, “do you need some help?” +I turned around. +The man looked over forty, and he was driving a car I’d be afraid to drive on this street. +“It’s a long way to anywhere worth going,” +he said. +“Would you like some help?” +“Ah, I think I’m fine, thanks,” +“Ah, I think I’m fine, thanks,” I told him, and turned back to the sidewalk. +As I got older, I shook the tales off with a nod and a "Yes, Nana." +“Really, I’d like to help. +Please, hop in. +You don’t look dressed for this weather.” +I glanced back over my shoulder. +“No thanks, sir! +Really, don’t worry about me.” +“Nathan Spencer, I offer you help. +I advise that you not refuse me a third time.” +I stopped and looked back at him, surprised. +He met my eyes coolly. +“How do you know my name?” +“I know your family. +Get in. +We have a lot of work ahead of us, and it’s best to start now.” +"Yes, Nana." +I walked around the car and got into the passenger seat. +Before I had my belt on, we were rolling forward. +“Okay,” +“Okay,” I said. +Now, will you tell me how you know my family, and how you happened to be driving by just now? +I got older and went to school, then to college, and I replaced the dreams my Nana gave me with the music DJs mixed for crowds in clubs, webs of pulse that shook us until we could believe anything. +In fact, why didn’t you call me by name the first time? +And how did you recognize me when – ” +I know your family because an ancestor of mine made a bargain with an ancestor of yours. +I am here now because you called for help, and no-one else would answer.” +He turned onto the next street and shifted up. +Also, international competitors drew on a large supply of very cheap labor. +Jobs were scarce in other steel-exporting countries, and labor laws were either non-existent or allowed employers to pay much less for work. +Labor costs in America continued to go up, draining US companies of their resources, while companies overseas were able to cut labor costs and put that money back into updating and renovating their facilities. +On a worldwide scale, newer materials such as aluminum, plastic, and composites were beginning to substitute steel both at home and abroad. +Steel demand worldwide was beginning to decline, and it affected both domestic and foreign companies. +Since this problem was a national one rather than a local one, the problems that were occurring in Youngstown were not unique. +Youngstown was perhaps hit harder than any other town by the collapse of the steel industry, but it was not alone. +The problem was a national one, involving many more mills and issues than Youngstown’s alone. +J. Philip Richley, a union member and organizer of many attempts to save 5the mills, has summed it up thus: “You just can’t solve a nation-wide problem in a single city.” +“You just can’t solve a nation-wide problem in a single city.” +The decline of the world steel market affected not just Youngstown but the entire steel community in America. +Trying to prop up one city’s mills was impossible when faced with the depression that spread throughout the entire industry. +The Save Our Valley Campaign: Lack of Funds and Plans +As the name suggests, local leaders wanted to instill the people of Youngstown with a fierce sense of urgency, driving them forward to confront steel companies and owners and help secure the future of the region. +The events that would follow this date (known as Black Monday) are seen by the people who witnessed them either as stories of great courage and determination or as monuments to human failure and false hope. +Marches, speeches, and letter writing were all employed to help stimulate the Campaign and rally the people. +But the Campaign was bogged down heavily by the lack of proper funding. +The people of Youngstown, being now unemployed had very little money to spend on anything but staying alive. +College tuition, clothes, food, and heating all had to come before donations to non-profit organizations. +People outside of the area had no personal investment in the mills, and so it was difficult to convince anyone from out of the county to contribute funds. +The lack of money proved to be crippling, because it prevented the organizations involved from purchasing the mills to run collectively. +Without funds, the Save Our Valley Campaign could do nothing major to help salvage the city’s dying economy. +The Save Our Valley Campaign also lacked one essential component: an actual concrete plan. +No one seemed to know just how to go about fixing the problems. +Letters and petitions were all very well, but they did little to improve the situation. +People clung to vague ideas of worker collectivization, but no one could really fathom exactly how that would work; the people of Youngstown were, after all, not particularly familiar with socialism or collectivization in general. +Beyond that, no one knew how they should proceed: everyone knew that saving the mills was important, but nobody stepped forward with a full-fledged plan to do it without losing huge amounts of money and dragging even more people down. +Without funds to drive the efforts, or even a real plan of action, the Save Our Valley Campaign did more harm than good. +In effect, it raised the hopes of workers without having any real chance at saving anything. +People became excited and waited for the mills to reappear, but they never did. +The Campaign failed to save any jobs and Youngstown was plunged into economic chaos. +The Apathy of USWA +Initially many assumed that their union would take a lead role in fighting for the recovery of their jobs. +However, it soon became clear that although the local union leaders were prepared to fight, the international branch was not. +The higher levels of the union became increasingly disassociated with Youngstown and its plight, attempting to shut out the appeals from workers and local union representatives and to ignore what was really happening. +Actually, one main reason for the behavior of the USWA was that union leaders really had no idea what to do. +No one had ever seen a shutdown of this magnitude and rapidity before, and none of the leaders of USWA, not even president Lynn Williams, knew what could be done. +It was clear to everyone that the economic fallout from this series of closings would be one of the worst in US history, and so without any real precedents the union leaders were flustered. +Rather than try and come up with some sort of scenario, the USWA simply ignored what was going on in Youngstown, hoping that perhaps the problem would resolve itself, or at least not spread any further than it already had. +Besides incompetence, the USWA had one other major reason for rejecting their local counterpart: fear of socialism. +Obviously the union itself was not afraid of socialist action, but they worried that the federal government might see the efforts of Youngstown workers to collectivize as a movement towards socialism and perhaps even communism. +If the USWA supported the efforts to revive the mills and encouraged worker control and ownership of the factories, then the government (and potentially other important people and institutions as well) might begin to think that the UWSA leaders were encouraging socialism. +This would mean that UWSA would lose credibility with the American government and its people, something they could not afford to do. +Regionalism +From its very first days the Mahoning Valley has been an area packed with small villages and hamlets. +Petitions, protests, rallies, collectivization, and even the takeover of a steel company’s headquarters were all attempted in a desperate movement by those in the industry to preserve the only source of employment that this town had. +Boardman, Poland Township, Struthers, Lowellville, Warren, Lordstown, Canfield, Niles, and many other towns and districts are crowded around Youngstown (see Figure 3). +However, although traffic is heavy between each separate district, each area has its own distinct cultural ethnicity, educational system, heritage, history, and even food. +For example, Struthers is a poor town with a large Slovak population, where education is generally better than in surrounding towns, but unemployment is much higher and pollution is widespread. +Most people in Struthers are either Orthodox or Baptist. +Two blocks over one finds Boardman, a well-off township with a reputation for rich but unsuccessful schools. +Its residents are mainly Italian and Roman Catholic, with a small concentration of Methodists on the east side. +Unemployment is low in comparison with surrounding towns, and the streets are clean and well kept. +With many more cultures, religions, and economic levels living in close proximity to one another, a curious phenomenon has overtaken the area: regionalism. +Each town, with their own identity, instills a strong regionalistic feeling within their respective populations, which dictates many habits, exchanges, and interactions between populations. +Workers from Poland Township would refuse to attend rallies with workers from Campbell, and citizens of Struthers would become suspicious of people from Boardman, even if they were supposed to be working towards the same thing. +A lack of cooperation became a crippling problem for the movement, because no one was willing to put aside regional differences to work together. +In some instances, small companies would express interest in helping the movement or in relocating their business in the area, but because of regional pride no one could ever agree where the new businesses should relocate. +In this way the people of the Mahoning Valley missed many opportunities for new industrial or commercial lifeblood because of arbitrary arguments where the goal was simply to protect regional pride. +These well-intentioned efforts ultimately failed, leaving thousands with shattered dreams and a distinct lack of trust in fellow humankind. +Conclusion: The Aftershock and the Significance of Black Monday +Black Monday was a devastating blow to an entire generation of people. +The efforts to avoid catastrophe after the fact were unsuccessful for four main reasons: the failure of the international steel market, the lack of funds and plans in initiatives such as the Save Our Valley Campaign, the refusal of the USWA to support their local chapter out of ineptitude and fear, and the absurd but very real regionalism which corrupted solidarity efforts and drove away any hope for brining in new companies. +What happened in Youngstown may not seem significant on an international or even on a national level, and perhaps it is not. +But to the thousands of people living there, the loss of the mills was a devastating event that sent shock waves through their economic, political, and social futures. +Because of the mills and their conspicuous absence, hundreds of people were uprooted, forced to leave their homes and tightly knit communities. +For the people of Youngstown, Black Monday was not just a historical event- it was the most important event in their lives. +Even though they eventually failed, the fact that they tried to preserve what they felt belonged to them is an amazing example of how far people will go to save their lives and the futures of their children. +But why did the brave attempts by union leaders and concerned citizens to revive the steel industry ultimately fail? +An Extended Essay in History +Most importantly, the problem in Youngstown was a nationwide problem. +Although it affected Youngstown and the surrounding area more than it affected other regions, the local people simply could not solve a national crisis on a local level. +A Brief History of Steel in Northeastern Ohio +In 1802 James and Daniel Heaton discovered ore and coal lining Yellow Creek in an area outside of Youngstown known as Poland Township. +Their blast furnace, “Hopewell,” was the very first blast furnace in the area. +During the Civil War, Youngstown played a vital role in supplying the Union army with iron products. +Youngstown also was a major railway crossroads, due to its strategic position between Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York, and Chicago. +The Decline of the Northeastern Ohio Steel Market: Why Did Attempts by Union Leaders and Concerned Citizens to Revive the Steel Industry Ultimately Fail? +During the 19th century, the center of iron manufacturing had gradually shifted from the far East Coast (Massachusetts and Eastern Pennsylvania) to the Ohio Valley Pittsburgh regions of the Northeast, including the Mahoning Valley and the Hanging Rock region of Ohio and Kentucky. +By 1880, Youngstown’s population had grown to nearly 16,000, which meant it had doubled in size over a twenty-year period. +The town continued to prosper, driven by the flux of immigrants pouring in with the hopes of employment at the mills. +This prosperity continued until the late 1920s, when the Great Depression hit the area hard. +Despite the Congress of Industrial Organization’s successful efforts to establish a national steel workers’ union, the industry barely survived the Depression years. +Strikes racked the town during the forties, fifties, and sixties, and they were often long and bloody. +In 1973, the Experimental Negotiating Agreement was signed. +This prohibited strikes and lockout, angering workers and driving productivity and laborer morale down. +At the same time, stricter governmental standards for environmental protection and the growth of imported steel were making it harder to produce and market American steel parts, and the overeager shareholders in the companies’ stock were pushing for more and more of their share of the pie. +Most importantly, Youngstown’s steel mills were slowly becoming less efficient and more expensive. +September 19, 1977 is a date that few people in Youngstown, Ohio will ever forget. +Old technology was not replaced, obsolete methods were not updated, and almost none of the industry’s profits were being utilized to help modernize. +Black Monday and the Crash of the Steel Industry +The announcement of the closing of the mills in 1977 was the beginning of a downward spiral, which would send the entire valley into chaos and ruin. +Between 1977 and 1981, a total of five mills were closed and approximately 25,000 jobs were lost countywide. +Meetings of union officials and mill bosses were hurriedly set up in an attempt to persuade the powers that be to reconsider their statement. +However, it was clear that, in the words of USWA president Lloyd McBride, “If you can’t make a buck, you get out of the business.” +On that date Jennings Lambeth, president of Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, announced that most of the steel company’s Campbell Works would close. +“If you can’t make a buck, you get out of the business.” +The closings meant the end of Youngstown’s only real industry, the end of its population growth, and then end of economic progress. +Without the mills, people sought other places of employment in adjoining states or even other areas of the country. +Those that could afford to move did so; those that couldn’t afford to move mostly ended up on the streets. +Without an industrial or a residential base, commerce shrank considerably. +It was becoming increasingly clear that without the industrial base provided by the mills, the city of Youngstown would soon become a ghost town, inhabited by those too poor or hopeful to escape. +The workers decided they needed to do something to save their city, and so they mobilized in a variety of ways. +Attempts to Save the Mills +The very first thing that the workers could do was “to get up a petition to stop the shutdown,” says Ed Mann, a local union leader and organizer. +The petition was circulated, eventually including thousands of signatures; it was then given to USWA representatives to present to President Carter in Washington. +However, the representatives were shunted to the side and ignored in Washington, since Youngstown’s political influence had died with its industry. +The International chapter of the USWA had much more lobbying power, but they refused to support the local union members. +The petition was lost among paperwork and bureaucratic procedure. +Next, workers decided to form the Ecumenical Coalition, an organization of local religious groups which spearheaded the attempt to reopen the Youngstown works. +The Coalition drafter letters to the Lykes Company asking if a group of workers might purchase the mill and run it collectively. +Although for other cities this would simply be a minor economic setback, for the people of Youngstown and the surrounding area, it meant disaster. +Lykes ignored the letters, so the Coalition turned once again to the federal government. +Here, too, they were ignored. +The Coalition had no proper funds to buy the mills, so they could do nothing but sit back and watch as the mills closed. +Finally, following the shutdown of US Steel’s plant in 1980, local union leaders congregated outside the US Steel Headquarters in Youngstown. +They invited local people and politicians to witness the scene, then charged the Headquarters and took it over. +The workers stayed there until the next day, when US Steel declared that they were ready to talk about selling the mill. +Immediately after the workers left the building, US steel representatives told the local union leaders that they had changed their minds and were no longer interested in allowing the workers to purchase the mill. +All these efforts eventually came to nothing, and Youngstown’s steel mills remained closed. +These attempts to save the mills were hindered by several major factors, including the decline of the world steel market, which made American steel impossible to sell or export. +The efforts to save the mills failed partly because the international market for steel had largely dried up. +In fact, American steel imports were beginning to outweigh exports. +Foreign steel was easier and more efficient to make, and was often of higher quality than domestic steel. +Mahoning County was a one-industry area, and the people of Youngstown, Struthers, Campbell, Boardman Township, and the numerous other small towns and villages in the area only had one main employer: the steel mills. +Foreign steel companies invested in their factories, updating their technology and replacing their equipment often. +This meant that foreign facilities were more modern and efficient than any plants in America, and therefore were able to export a more competitive product. +Foreign steel was also much cheaper. +You can mix them with a 30/30/40 mix of potting soil, worm casings and clay. +Or you

they are worth publishing." +Allan sat down at his desk and pulled the chair in close. +"If you never finish such stories, how can they be worth publishing?" +"That is precisely why I must excise this malignant instinct!" +"Why do you write?" +"…Why – to earn a living, I suppose. +Why do you ask?" +"You choose to write rather than become a fisherman or a carpenter, though you face such difficulty. +I would not be happy, thus separated from it." +"So at its heart, then, your writing – as opposed to working otherwise – is for yourself?" +"Yes, I suppose one could see it thus. +But really, Nathan, your queer habits of conversation have reached a new level." +Ignoring the statement, Nathan continued. +"Your writing is for you, Allan, not for the publishers or some imagined audience. +Since you seem unable to write 'normally,' why not embrace your tales as they are, leave behind the one unhappiness in the art you admit is a source of pleasure? +Your stories strike a chord with the deepest, most ancient stories of mankind, the tales basic to humanity. +Tell them, and they will create an audience. +You need not pander to what you imagine their wants are; speak, and they shall listen." +Allan crouched over his desk once more, pen in hand and mind blank. +He contemplated a story, an outline he had laboriously constructed some time ago. +He had filled his pen and raised it, the nib descending towards the paper, before the sound came: the gentle, persistent tapping of the gnarled, primeval willow touching the window with long, insistent fingers. +His eyes awoke with a passionate, determined flame, though the only light came from the glutted moon. +Allan filled page after page, the words escaping from his mind onto the paper. +Where before they had marched in regiments, practiced in ranks and followed their leaders' commands, the words now escaped in their true forms, unhindered by any stricture. +He continued long into the night, until the eldritch orb had sunk into the waiting hands of the willow, raised perpetually skyward. +Arthur looked up from the results of a night’s frenzied labors and looked Allan in the eye. +"What is this?" +he queried, indicating the pages he held in his left hand. +"I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely," +"I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely," Allan replied, somewhat less self-assured than he had been the previous night. +Although the concept was a simple one, Allan thought it had potential. +"What in G-d's name could have possessed you to do such a thing," +"What in G-d's name could have possessed you to do such a thing," cried Arthur, nearly raising his voice. +"After all I said the day before, why have you abandoned centuries of literary progress for some self-indulgent fantasy?" +He shook the papers at Allan, raising them like a belt above the head of a disobedient son. +"This is nothing but a glorified Grimm's tale, a miscarried child of Stoker, a creation less fit to be published than to be told around an open fire at the hovel of some peasant!" +He spoke the last word with such heavy intonation that Allan shrank back before the physical wave of sound emanating from Arthur's throat. +Besides, the public liked a good, simple romance. +"Do you hate the modern system of literature? +Do you personally despise the works the Enlightenment or the progress made since Shakespeare? +Do you personally despise the works the Enlightenment or the progress made since Shakespeare??" +?" +For a moment, Allan could hardly do more than shake his head. +"Then why," +"Then why," Arthur barreled on, "do you disregard them all and return to this superstitious babble, this morbid, paganistic drivel? +"do you disregard them all and return to this superstitious babble, this morbid, paganistic drivel? +Why do you disregard my warnings, my careful advice given in the best of friendship and designed only to save you from sinking into this very type of corruption, this literary debauchery?" +"Could you write decent tales with that willow at your window?" +"Its twigs rap constantly against the wall, the wind always demanding my attention. +How could any writer accommodate the edicts of popular literature with the very forces of nature knocking upon his door?" +Arthur looked down his nose at the distraught author, viewing his complaint with pure disdain scantily concealed by the veneer of politeness that animated the construct that was Arthur Mason. +A tree forced you to write this, my dear Mr. Clemm? +They gazed at each other, lost in the rapture of love based so deeply within their hearts that they had never seen it before. +"You don't know what this is like," +"You don't know what this is like," said Allan, shaking his head. +"Nathan would understand completely." +Even as he said it, Allan prayed that his statement was true. +"Very well," +"Very well," said Arthur; "then take your story to that hedonist and let him defend you when no civilized publisher will approach you. +"then take your story to that hedonist and let him defend you when no civilized publisher will approach you. +If you insist on abandoning me, I shall not hold you." +Stunned, Allan slowly gathered up the pages and placed them in order. +He then turned and left through the door opposite that Arthur had taken, making his way past his host's doorman without assistance and setting off on foot towards Nathan's residence, several miles away. +Nathan read the package of words in silence, his only motions the steady progress of his eyes and occasional replacement of pages. +Allan sat nervously across from him in a chair Nathan had probably upholstered himself, a patchwork design of fabric containing easily more stuffing than any other furniture item of the period. +At long last, Nathan reached the end and set down his reading on the table between them. +Opening a side drawer, he took out a piece of paper and his inkpot. +Allan leaned forward unconsciously. +"What about Roger?" +"So," +"So," he asked, "you don't think it's a waste of ink and paper, a futile expedition into morbidity or literary debauchery?" +she asked, knowing that the answer no longer mattered. +"you don't think it's a waste of ink and paper, a futile expedition into morbidity or literary debauchery?" +"Heavens, no," said Nathan, aghast. +"This is one of the strongest works I've read in ages. +It speaks to the deepest storyteller's instinct within us all, yet is entirely original. +Oh, they may rail against you at first; they may decry you as a heathen or a literary savage; but while those in power say such things, others will read your tales and see their true worth. +Believe me when I say that you will be read a century from now." +Allan, though dubious as to that possibility, felt some temptation from the compliment; mainly, it granted him the encouragement he still needed. +Nathan promised to show the story to a printer he knew and Allan left it with him, then walked home under the spreading maples with a smile lingering on his face. +This is good, he thought, pausing to raise the low light of the lantern. +He felt now that perhaps Nathan was right; although the man was somewhat peculiar, he had both an unimpeachable honesty and a certain propensity for insight. +Certainly, it was undeniable that the stories had an originality to them. +His mind's strangest fruit had ripened at last, and he found the taste less bitter than expected. +These thoughts and others like them filled his head as he walked the long road home. +It was evening, and the sky burned orange in the west when he neared home at last. +Passionate, fiery colors filled the western sky before him, though the sun itself had reached the trees and a few dark clouds circled overhead. +I'm almost done, and the happy ending is just falling into place. +As Allan drew closer, he distinguished a new cloud, a pillar rising directly ahead; a road of smoke ascended in the west, its source hidden by the very hillock that concealed his house from the traveler until one had nearly reached its door. +Allan's thoughts fled as one, scattering on the breeze that scattered the warning plume. +Arthur paused in the door, looking up at Allan for a moment; then he turned and shut the door behind him. +I hardly dare to think it, but – I may finish this story! +The driver snapped the reins and set the horses on. +The heavy curtains had been drawn across its windows. +He watched as the carriage drew still more distant, the horses' hooves still kicking up dust along the roadway. +When they had gone, he remained, stunned, until the scent of woodsmoke recalled him to himself. +He turned to regard the pillar still rising behind his house and ran to see what had been done. +A mass of flaming wood stood before him, heat singeing him and sparks flying too close to his house. +As he thought this, a sinuous wind encircled the house, slipping through the walls to chill him. +It was a moment before he realized what else had changed: near the wall, beneath his window, was a stump with black and ancient bark. +In a thoughtless panic, Allan flew to the stream that ran by his house and began frantically throwing handfuls of water onto the pyre. +His thoughts were not of the act's futility, nor even of the nights spent tormented by the twisted thing; instead, all that filled his mind was the tree's constant presence in his life, growing with him and beside him, its persistent reminders that he had higher, truer things to write, the simple beauty of the great black tree for its own sake. +His handfuls could do nothing to quench the hewn, burning logs, but when the night sky grew dark above him and the fire dwindled to black ashes, tears threatened to spill forth and extinguish the final embers. +But he did not weep. +Instead, he bethought himself of the loss of the tree; considered also Arthur's motivation and whether some good might not come of this, after all. +The papers and the lantern's flame trembled as the thin fingers of a great black willow rapped gently on Allan's window and wall like a stranger knocking on his chamber door. +Leaving the circle of ashes, he stood and turned towards the woods, in which it was his habit to walk when in a pensive mood. +He stepped slowly beneath the branches, a gust of wind stirring up the ashes behind him in a great, swirling eddy, a burning brand that rose up and dispersed on the winds as though it were the willow's last breath. +Allan wandered beneath the trees for a time, thoughts drifting through his mind like great banks of fog, strangely beautiful but impossible to penetrate. +He considered Arthur's intervention; considered that it might be better to accept the fog and continue as his lifelong friend had suggested, to write stories that others would read; for after all, what purpose writing if not to be read? +And without that torturous willow, he might be free to write whatever he saw fit. +Indeed, if he still could not, he could at any time follow Arthur's advice and seek a profession more grounded in reality. +He found himself along the bank of a low, wide stream and allowed himself to follow its current. +As it turned to the deeper woods, elder giants rose above him: a beech, smooth bark a gray-green pennant hoisted on a slope and standing out between the dark, cracked trunks of the nearer trees; great pines, a few magnificent specimens still bearing the three-stroke symbol of the British King; a towering black birch, leaves impossibly high above him. +As the stream wound its way through the largest pines, grown so great as to eclipse that feature of the landscape they had once crowded about for sweet water as saplings, Allan continued, slowing his pace to climb across the toes of the slumbering giants. +This was no stranger, however; the twisted, ancient thing was older than Allan, its branches rapping on his window since his childhood. +Before him, roots imbibing the sweet water of the stream, grew a stand of black willows. +Fallen trunks lay rotting across the rivulet; the living elders oversaw the grove while younger trees, still small and not yet as knotted and gnarled as their forefathers, sprang up where branches reached the ground. +Though the elders' trunks fell and died, their children, first roots grown from the very branches that now lay dead, continued unabated, a continuous line from the most ancient of their ancestors. +Allan stumbled forward, jaw slightly slack, until his outstretched hands encountered the rough bark of a twisted, three-trunked willow whose waists were each larger than Allan himself. +After filling his pen, Allan looked at his paper in the orange glow from the lantern set back in the desk's right-hand corner. +Collapsing at its base, Allan wrapped his arms around the stoic tree and let forth a moan, a cry of purest agony that escaped him as the first tears seeped from the corners of his eyes and slid down his cheeks, falling to the ground and seeping though the fallen leaves and needles to join the water of the stream, flowing through the ground beneath them. +Its thin, drawn fingers framed the bloated moon, whose eerie radiation now bathed the room directly. +The great, jaundiced eye stared down unblinkingly at the author, who gazed up through his window's tiny frame with trepidation. +Allan recalled himself and focused once more on the incomplete page before him. +His pen flickered forth, words dancing out from its nib. +For while the lantern's spark shivered in the chill breeze, this burn was steady and true as the motion of its owner's pen, scratching out the rhythm of the willow's fingers. +The frenzied writing ceased at last, the author leaned back with a slight sigh as if both exhausted and satisfied by his effort. +He held a hand to his forehead, eyes closed and face flushed. +After all that – so near the end, to lose control again. +His breath returning to its normal rhythms, he dared to look at the page before him. +His face soft as if caught between a smile and tears, he draped his loose cape over her shoulders. +"Come, darling," +"Where I am to take you, one need never think of those left behind." +His pen cast a forbidding line of shadow slanting across the page, echoing the inky darkness crouching in the edges of the lantern's struggling glow. +They took their seats within the car and his driver set the horses trotting. +For a few yards, they kicked up dust along the roadway; then they raised their hooves and took to the air. +She gaped, afraid but knowing that no harm would come to her by his hand. +Above them, the Milky Way drew near as if the stars themselves could be reached. +A magnificent glow infused the carriage as they merged with the sky's glory. +Allan crushed the page in his hand and hurled it at the window. +"Damn you," +"Damn you," he cried, "will you never leave me be? +Shall I never finish a story in peace?" +He pounded his desk in vain, cursing the foul muse that drove him. +"Cucumber sandwich?" +Allan took a sandwich between his fingers. +The only other illumination came from a lurid moonlight filtered through thin branches and clouds, casting its bone-pale glow onto the pine floorboards. +In a manner delicately balanced between somber and genial, he refilled their glasses. +"How is the writing these days, my dear Mr. Clemm?" +"Perfectly dreadful, my dear Mr. Mason," +"Perfectly dreadful, my dear Mr. Mason," Allan sighed. +"I had a perfect story in my pages; my hero returned home and reclaimed his love, I nearly had it tied together before…" +"Before?" +Arthur's face assumed a long-suffering aspect of authoritative exasperation. +"I'm not familiar with Mr. Poe's works, but I assume you're referring to your unhealthy penchant for the fantastic." +"It's far from a 'penchant,' Arthur. +This is more like a compulsion, a beast that lies waiting in the dark for the perfect moment, then leaps and takes ahold of me, screaming out through my quill." +"How perfectly awful." +The Black Willow +"I'm sure you know that you must curb this behavior if you wish to produce any writing fit for public consumption." +"I know," Allan replied, "but how am I to do that? +You know I do not wish to make my stories thus; but it is my nemesis, confronting me anew at every turn!" +Arthur raised a critical brow. +Every action you take to deny it nourishment will bring you closer to your goal; and believe me, Allan, you must take every opportunity to quash this uncivilized obsession if you intend to publish. +Allan unfolded another page, this one crowded with ranks of letters in tight formation from left to right. +There simply is no audience for fairy tales – no literate audience, at least." +"It is true," +"It is true," Allan admitted, fidgeting with his cufflinks, "that I would not dream of submitting one of these corruptions of literature to any publisher. +My prodigal ink-blooded children simply lose their vitality when forced along the proper road." +"If only you would restrain this morbid impulse of yours, you might write something really worth reading. +It's hard enough listening to your wild speech without seeing it appear in the refined world of print, like a surly foreigner among a genteel crowd." +Allan hung his head, holding his wine with both hands between his arched knees. +His hair was slightly unkempt after his sleepless night, and his clothing had a rumpled look as if, by mere proximity, it had taken on the aspect of his weariness. +The lines of letters stepped into their divisions, in the shape of a story's outline: the loose, dry skeleton of a tale lay exposed beneath their feet, awaiting tendons, muscle and blushing skin. +He scratched the back of his dark-haloed head and blinked bleary eyes. +"I would drive it out," +"I would drive it out," he said softly, "but I fear for what would remain." +"but I fear for what would remain." +"Perhaps you require a rest from writing," +"Perhaps you require a rest from writing," suggested Arthur. +"You might find that some time in an honest occupation would ground you somewhat, improve your disposition." +"Perhaps it would," +"I shall consider it; in the meantime, however, I must be off. +You have been a gracious host, as always." +Arthur rose and shook his hand. +"So dear a friend is always welcome to my counsel and my home," +"So dear a friend is always welcome to my counsel and my home," he said. +"I hope soon to see you in better sorts." +They parted and Allan made his way pensively from Arthur's gate. +He walked the wheel-ruts, hands in his pockets and unshined shoes collecting dust. +Some quarter-mile from Arthur's gate, he halted, confronted by a halloo. +"Nathan?" +he called out to the empty road. +The reply came from above him and Allan turned to see his friend reclining in the fork of a great tree. +"I had a hunch you'd be at Arthur's today," +"I had a hunch you'd be at Arthur's today," said Nathan, "so I thought I'd wait here for you." +"so I thought I'd wait here for you." +Nathan's lanky frame, dressed in a loose, tan jacket, fit into the branch like an elegant skeleton. +His hair fell loosely across a face that seemed always to have a knowing smirk hidden just beneath its surface, infusing his body with a rakish energy. +"So, Allan," said Nathan, unfolding and lowering his legs to the roadside, "how goes life for the quintessential American author?" +"how goes life for the quintessential American author?" +"I wouldn't know," +"I wouldn't know," replied Allan dryly, before continuing in another tone entirely. +"I destroyed another story last night, Nathan." +Leaning against his tree, Nathan shook his head. +Ended! +Never again shall it see the rosy-fingered dawn! +Nathan, you've read these abominations of mine. +You know just as well as I that they have no future, no potential. +Allan reviewed the troops, all prepared to disembark, their task to form the tale of a young man returning home from Life Abroad to find his childhood friend a bride to-be, thus upsetting the apple cart of his life's plan, clarified – of course – by his very time away from her he loved best. +At best, they are faery tales; at worst, expeditions into macabre realms no healthy mind need ever see." +"So instead, you would write – what?" +"Something saleable; something worth reading, worth writing! +On a sunny Sunday afternoon, the waiting list was an hour long. +After hemming and hawing and assessing my food stash (contents: 10 saltines), I decided to go for it anyway. +By the time I got to Asheville, I was nearing the end of my journey and the bottom of my wallet. +By the time I finally got a seat at the counter, I was starved. +It took me about thirty seconds to pick out the Charleston Chicken Sandwich: "grilled marinated free-range chicken breast on sourdough with melted havarti, romaine lettuce and cranberry mayonnaise". +Free range? +Cranberry? +Havarti? +Yes, I could dig it. +While I waited for the food, I checked out the back of the store where Tupelo Honey Cafe hawks their homestyle wares: preserves, pickles, salsa, honey, t-shirts, aprons and all sorts of mini-advertisements for the restaurant. +I've visited plenty of farm-to-fork restaurants, and this one may be the best I've seen at self-marketing. +There's nothing wrong with it: the food in those jars is probably delicious, though I question whether the $10 tupelo honey had to come from Florida or if it's produced locally. +Either way, it's nice to see a restaurant built on ethics that also happens to be incredibly busy. +Some of that is surely due to good marketing, but the real reason for its popularity is this: +That sandwich was so good, I found myself eating slower and slower with each bite to savor it more completely. +The potatoes were light and un-greasy; the flavors were perfectly balanced; the chicken was juicy and rich; and let's be honest here, I'm always happier eating dead animals when I know they've lived a good life. +I found myself silently thanking the chicken for its delicious contribution. +I will never forget you. +I stopped eating halfway through, not because I was full. +I stopped so I could take the rest home and taste it again later. +On another topic, I made a discovery there in the Tupelo Honey Cafe, one which I'd like to share with you now. +If you're going to a busy restaurant and want great service, bring a camera. +Take a few photos of the menu, the kitchen, the food. +No sooner had I taken the above photo, when a server (not even my server) appeared at my elbow. +But. +Now, I'm not saying the service before my camera-flash was bad, because it was awesome. +When I'd posted on Facebook that I was coming to town, no fewer than three people told me I just had to visit the Tupelo Honey Cafe . +But wow, it sure improved once I appeared to be some sort of food critic or travel writer. +Which, it just so happens, I am. +But even if you're not, try this out sometime. +I can't guarantee it'll work, but I personally will do it againand probably back it up with a stellar review, just like the one I've given the Tupelo Honey Cafe. +Everybody wins. +Okay, that's it! +I could talk about Asheville for weeks, but it's time to move on. +Next stop: sunny Tennessee, where I get down on The Farm. +So I checked their website, and instantly fell in love: +Noshin' at the Tupelo Honey Cafe | Plus, how to get great service in busy restaurants 23 Mar., 2010 +"Tupelo Honey Café opened in downtown Asheville in 2000, an early pioneer in the farm to fork movement and an active advocate for the independent restaurant landscape that pervades the city. +"Tupelo Honey Café opened in downtown Asheville in 2000, an early pioneer in the farm to fork movement and an active advocate for the independent restaurant landscape that pervades the city.

Sep, 2010 at 7:52 am +You know they could. It would be even better for the system. +This would also, make it more profitable. +The horses. +would be heathier. +They wouldn't have to be standing on the acidic sand all of the time. +The straw/hay could also be a form of supplemental food, for livestock/horses, which has been used in before times. +The straw, should be separated from the manure and dried in the air, then buised, by hooves. +Then it is more ready, to be mixed with the soil, in the spring. +To wit: in 2009, David helped launch the Truro Ag Fair -- an event that exceeded all expectations and brought huge crowds to local farmers' booths. +And he manages the First Light Organic Farm, a lush green spot in a hollow of North Truro. +Here, David and his partner Arthur Teubner work year-round growing heirloom and hardy fruits and veggies to sell at market. +This is part 4 of a 4-part series on tourism's impact on Cape Cod. +Kitchen Equipment. +Woks and any other gadgets essential for Chinese cookery make good purchases. +Department stores sell all sorts of intriguing kitchen equipment. +Leather Goods. +Large shops on the fashionable thoroughfares tend to be more expensive than smaller “family” shops tucked away in the side streets. +Locally made items do not live up to their European models. +However, the leather garment industry is growing, and there is a wide range of locally produced leather accessories, all at extremely attractive prices. +For European imports, you will pay top dollar. +Musical, Audio, and Video Equipment. +While it’s no longer the bargain shopping destination it once was, there are still some good buys to be had. +Before purchasing, visitors should make sure of compatibility with systems in their own countries. +Be sure to look around and compare before buying. +Whatever you buy, you may be able to work out a discount. +Ready-to-wear Clothes. +Hong Kong’s shops carry almost every recognizable European and many American labels, from top-end designers to the moderately priced or trendy. +Nathan Road, Central, and the hotel malls are places to look. +You’ll also find bargain clothes for sale at the markets and on push-carts. +Tailoring. +Tailor-made clothes are not as popular in Hong Kong as they were in the past, but hundreds of shops still remain. +Local tailors are experts when it comes to producing custom-tailored garments for both men and women, and are also adept at copying patterns. +In choosing a tailor, look for HKTA membership. +Stores do not open until 10am or later, but shopping goes on into the evening, up to 9:30pm. +Many tailors have Web sites or are listed on Web sites. +Shops all over town will sell you gift tins of exotic blends. +If you want to learn something about tea, go to the Tea Shop at 149 Hollywood Road, or the Moon Garden Tea House at 5 Hoi Ping Road, Causeway Bay. +The owners will brew up a pot so you can taste before making a choice. +Watches. +The saying “Time is money” is quite literally true in Hong Kong: more is spent on watches and clocks here than on cameras and optical goods. +An enormous variety of makes and models are on sale. +Entertainment +Day and night, the action goes on in this vibrant city. +Most shops are open seven days a week. +Hong Kong Diary published weekly by HKTA tells what’s happening in the arts. +Culture buffs are well catered to, and there is always a varied program of events, ranging from world-class concerts to local amateur dramatic productions. +A highlight of the arts calendar is the annual Hong Kong Arts Festival, a three-week dose of international culture in February, with concerts, recitals, plays, jazz, Chinese opera, and innovative productions put on by leading talent from both East and West. +Shops in Central are an exception; they generally close at 6pm and are not open on Sunday. +Tickets for the shows must be reserved well in advance. +There are more than 30 cinemas in Hong Kong, and the latest Western releases are shown in some of the larger ones. +English-language films have Chinese subtitles. +The Hong Kong International Film Festival takes place in April. +More than 200 films from all over the world are shown at this two-week event. +The only holiday on which all commerce comes to a halt is the Chinese New Year in January or February. +Ask at City Hall center about advance reservations. +The Performing Arts +Performance Venues. +The theaters in the Hong Kong Cultural Center in Tsim Sha Tsui are the main venues for concerts and opera. +Other performance centers are the City Hall cultural complex, with exhibition halls and theaters that present concerts, plays, and films; the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts with two major theaters for dance, drama, and concert performances; and the Hong Kong Arts Centre in Wan Chai, where both local and visiting groups perform. +Other centers for concerts, plays, and entertainment are Sha Tin Town Hall and Tsuen Wan Town Hall in the New Territories. +Larger arenas, including the Queen Elizabeth Stadium, the Hong Kong Coliseum, and the Ko Shan Theater in Kowloon play host to various concerts, pop concerts, sporting events, and variety shows. +Classical Music. +The Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra performs new and traditional works; a wide assortment of traditional and Chinese instruments are featured. +The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1975. +Buyer Beware. +Under its conductor, David Atherton, it offers Western classical works and new works by Chinese composers in a September-to-June season. +Be aware that name brands, including electronics, are sometimes fakes, glass may be sold as jade, and that antique you bought may have been made last night. +Cantonese opera is alive and well in Hong Kong, and the two other forms, Beijing and Kun, are sometimes presented. +To most foreigners, this unique art form is likely to be inscrutable at first exposure, but everyone can appreciate the spectacle and the elaborate, glittering costumes. +Although the music may seem strange to the unaccustomed ear, it certainly won’t put you to sleep; cymbals and drums guarantee your alertness. +Dance. +Theater. +The two leading local troupes, the Chung Ying Theatre Company and the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, perform in Cantonese; there are English-language performances at the Fringe Club theaters, 2 Lower Albert Road, in Central. +Puppet Shows. +The classic Chinese puppet is the shadow puppet, manipulated behind a screen by three rods, but hand puppet and marionette shows are also on offer, often for free at public parks and playgrounds. +Nightlife +Hong Kong by night can suit any taste — riotous, sedate, raw, or cultured. +Note that sometimes there is a cover charge of HK$50 to HK$200 at clubs, which may or may not include a couple of drinks. +There are nightclubs in the principal hotels, with bands, dancing, and floor shows. +Always ask for a receipt that records information about the item, and if you buy an antique, be sure to get a certificate of authentication. +Jazz fans will find live jazz presented by international artists at the Jazz Club and Bar, 2/F, 34-36 D’Agular, Central; and at the Blue Note in the Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. +The Frin ge Club, 21 Lower Albert Road, Central, is Hong Kong’s best-known alternate entertainment venue, with jazz, rock, and other live music, in addition to a gallery for visual arts. +Bars with views and live music include Sky Lounge in the Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Tsim Sha Tsui; and Cyrano in the Island Shangri-La in Pacific Place. +Pubs are numerous. +In Tsim Sha Tsui, Ned Kelly’s Last Stand on Ashley Road is an Aussie institution; Delaney’s, 71-77 Peking Road, is one of Hong Kong’s enduring Irish pubs. +The clubs and bars of Wan Chai, long the center of seedy nightlife, have become almost respectable. +Joe Bananas, 23 Luard Road, is a Wan Chai mainstay for all-night partying. +Rick’s Cafe, 78-82 Jaffe Road, is a long-time disco that’s still popular. +A lot of the raunchy action has moved across the harbor to Tsim Sha Tsui East; this is also where you’ll find pricey hostess clubs, popular with Japanese tourists, but definitely not for those on a budget. +Soho, along with the Lan Kwai Fong area, is popular with chuppies (Hong Kong yuppies) and has a lively bar scene. +Causeway Bay also has a variety of bars and clubs. +Needless to say, avoid peddlers who approach you on the street and offer to take you to wondrous bargains. +TOTT’s, in the Excelsior Hotel, is a restaurant with live music and dancing and a harbor view. +Japanese karaoke bars have now become extremely popular with the locals. +There are a number of these on Chatham Road South and around Cameron Street in Tsim Sha Tsui. +The most typical of these are harbor cruises, usually including dinner and dancing on board an air-conditioned floating nightclub. +There are evening bus tours that include visits to a restaurant and night spots; some tours combine a Chinese banquet with a visit to an open-air market and the panorama from Victoria Peak. +Beaches. +In subtropical Hong Kong you can swim from April to early November. +There are more than 40 beaches in Hong Kong that are free to the public. +Most have lifeguards on duty from April to October, changing rooms, toilets, and snack stands. +On Hong Kong Island, Repulse Bay is the most popular; others are Shek O on the east coast and Stanley and Deep Water Bay on the south coast. +On the outlying islands, Cheung Chau and Cheung Sha are on Lantau, and Hung Shing Ye and Lo So Shing on Lamma; inquire about water pollution levels. +The large department stores have fixed prices, but elsewhere you should ask whether there is a discount, especially if you buy several items in one shop. +The Hong Kong Golf Club (Tel. 2812 7070) welcomes visitors to its three 18-hole courses at Fanling in the New Territories, or the 9-hole course at Deep Water Bay. +The Discovery Bay Golf Club on Lantau island (Tel. 2987 7273) has an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. course, open to visitors Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. +The 72-par course was designed by Dave Thomas. +Hiking. +In the New Territories the famous MacLehose Trail stretches 97 km (60 miles) from Sai Kung Peninsula to Tuen Mun. +The Lantau Trail is a 69-km (43-mile) circular trail on Lantau Island that begins and ends at Silvermine Bay. +Both trails are divided into smaller segments of varying difficulty. +Maps of hiking trails are available at the Government Publications Center, Low Block, Government Offices, 66 Queensway in Central. +HKTA also has trail maps and sponsors the Guided Nature Walks, led by rangers, that include hikes in all the different regions of Hong Kong. +Jogging. +Victoria Park has a jogging track in Causeway Bay. +Because of the heavy harbor traffic, only sailors licensed by the Hong Kong authorities can run pleasure boats in local waters. +Contact the Hong Kong Yacht Club at Tel. 2832 2817 for information. +Compare prices before you buy any significant item. +Taijiquan (Tai Chi). +HKTA offers lessons in these exercises that improve concentration and balance at Garden Plaza, Hong Kong Park, Admiralty (Tel. 2058 1234). +Tennis. +There are 13 public courts at Victoria Park Tennis Centre (Tel. +Horseracing. +All levels of society share a feverish interest in the Sport of Kings. +The racing schedule is September to June, and Hong Kong maintains two tracks — the older Happy Valley course on Hong Kong Island and the striking Sha Tin track in the New Territories. +The Hong Kong Tourist Association runs a “Come Horseracing Tour,” which includes entry to the Hong Kong Jockey Club visitors’ box and members’ enclosure, and a buffet-style meal. +Cricket. +Rugby. +Hong Kong has many attractions that appeal to children of all ages. +Since Hong Kong is a duty-free port and charges no sales tax, goods are cheaper here than in the country where they were made. +Hong Kong’s many beaches are especially fun for children. +Children love riding on Hong Kong’s antique trams. +There’s a special Kid’s World that those under 12 can enter free when accompanied by a paying adult. +The more daring can try out the terrifying roller-coaster rides. +Hong Kong’s state-of-the-art interactive museums will interest children of all ages. +Note that when haggling, the merchant assumes you are prepared to pay cash. +For children who love boats, riding the Star Ferry or ferry trips to outlying islands will be exciting, and the Dolphin Watch trip (see page 113) is certain to appeal. +If you plan to visit during May, the carnival atmosphere of the Cheung Chau Bun Festival, with its high bamboo-and-paper towers covered in sticky buns, will fascinate the young ones. +If, after concluding a deal, you try to pay with a credit card, he may then boost the price in order to cover the card charges. +It is advisable to shop at outlets that are members of the Hong Kong Tourist Association (HKTA), identified by a red junk logo. +Membership imposes an obligation to maintain standards of both quality and service, and provides dissatisfied customers with an officially recognized channel for redressing complaints;

Wing On, one of the oldest in Hong Kong; Marks and Spencer; and the Japanese department stores, Mitsukoshi, Sobo, and Seibu. +Malls. +Hong Kong is full of giant malls. +Harbour City, just west of the Star Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the largest; Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, is Central’s biggest mall, with retail outlets and department stores; Times Square is a collection of retail outlets in Causeway Bay. +Factory Outlets. +These stores sell excess stock or factory overruns. +Hong Kong is no longer a factory outlet center since much of its clothing manufacturing has moved elsewhere. +There are factory showrooms in the Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, in Central. +Markets. +Markets are the places to use your bargaining skills. +Hong Kong’s most famous and colorful market is the Temple Street Night Market near the Jordan MTR stop. +Every conceivable kind of goods is sold here: clothing, all kinds of electronics, CDs, souvenirs, crafts, and jewelry. +Specialty goods and souvenirs, often handmade, come from Hong Kong and elsewhere in China. +Stanley Market is located on Hong Kong’s southern coast, and is well-known for all kinds of clothing, including silk and cashmere. +The Jade Market, on Kansu Street in Yau Ma Tei, is known for both jade and freshwater pearls. +This is not the place to make expensive purchases, but it’s great for inexpensive pendants, earrings, and gifts. +What to Buy +Antiques. +Look for fine Chinese bronzes, embroidery, lacquerware and porcelain, tomb figures, and wood carvings, among other possibilities. +The experts point out that it is not age alone that determines a Chinese antique’s value — the dynasties of the past had their creative ups and downs. +Custom-made garments by skillful Hong Kong tailors are still much in demand and cost less than elsewhere for comparable garments. +For serious antiques, try Honeychurch Antiques at no. 29 for furniture and silver, Tai Sing Company at 122 for porcelain. +For fun you can visit the Low Price Shop at no. 47 or the Cat Street crafts stores and flea market. +Brocades and Silks. +Fabrics from China are a bargain and well worth taking home. +For fabrics, also try Western Market, Morrison Street, in Central. +Two reliable places to start looking in Lan Kwai Fong are Photo Scientific in the Eurasia Building and Hing Lee Camera Company, 25 Lyndhurst Terrace. +Carpets and Rugs. +Hong Kong is a mecca for Chinese hand-knotted wool carpets and silk rugs. +Hong Kong’s stores are usually able to arrange shipment. +Caravan at 65 Hollywood Road and the shops in The Silk Road at Ocean Center in Tsim Sha Tsui are good places to start looking. +China (Porcelain). +In Hong Kong you can have a plate, or even a whole dinner service, hand-painted to your own design. +Factories in Kowloon and the New Territories, producing traditional and modern china, are geared to entertain and instruct visiting tourists; prices are appealing. +Two of the largest places to go are the Wah Tung China Company in the Grand Marine Industrial Building in Aberdeen; and the Overjoy Porcelain Factory in Block B of the Kwai Hing Industrial Building, Kwai Chung, in the New Territories. +In antiques shops, look for highly valued porcelains from China. +Electronics. +The latest gadgets are sometimes available in Hong Kong before anywhere else. +Before you begin shopping, pick up HKTA’s “Shopping Guide to Consumer Electronics. ” +Prices on electronics have risen in the past two years; check prices at home before you buy here. +Nathan Road has many electronics shops. +Also check out Star Computer City in the Star House near the Star Ferry terminal. +You’ll find that prices are about the same in Hong Kong Central and Kowloon, and somewhat cheaper in Causeway Bay, which caters to local shopping. +Furniture. +The choice ranges from traditional hand-carved Chinese rosewood furniture to well-made reproductions of modern Western styles. +Rattan furniture is highly popular. +Hollywood Road has several furniture shops. +Queen’s Road East in Wan Chai is a furniture manufacturing and retail area. +Jade. +“ Good for the health” is just one of the many magical qualities that are attributed to these beautiful emerald-green or turquoise stones. +Real jade is extremely expensive, and you may be offered counterfeit jade, which looks exactly like the genuine article. +Some people say you can test the authenticity by touch — real jade feels smooth and cool. +Alternatively, you can shine a lamp on the stone — real jade shows no reflected light. +Better still, go shopping with an expert. +Jewelry. +Thanks to the duty-free situation, prices in Hong Kong are lower than they are in some other places. +You can buy gemstones loose or set, or have them made up to your own design. +Popular purchases include diamonds and freshwater pearls. +If you do plan to buy jewelry, be sure to consult the “Shopping Guide to Jewellery” published by the Hong Kong Tourist Authority to find a reputable dealer. +The statues in the main shrine represent Man, the god of literature, and Mo, the god of war, a curious juxtaposition. +The temple is always crowded with worshipers. +Just past the temple is the aptly named Ladder Street. +As you get off, the 52-story Jardine House with porthole-shaped windows catches the eye. +Go down one flight of steps to Lascar Row, popularly known as Cat Street, for more antiques and curio shops. +Walk up the steps to reach Caine Lane, where you’ll find the Museum of Medical Sciences (open Tuesday–Saturday 10am–5pm; admission by donation). +The interesting Edwardian building was formerly the Pathological Institute, founded to combat the 19th century’s 30-year-long outbreak of bubonic plague. +The old laboratory is still intact, and there are exhibits on Chinese pharmacology and the history of medicine in Hong Kong. +Just to the east of the financial district, Wan Chai was once an area of sleazy clubs and topless bars; this was the setting for The World of Suzy Wong. +Servicemen relaxing from the rigors of the Vietnam War poured millions of dollars into the Wan Chai boom of the 1960s. +There are restaurants and a Starbuck’s in the basement, and you can access the raised pedestrian crosswalk from the escalators on the ground floor. +There are still bars and clubs here, but the area has become almost mainstream, and office towers are replacing many of the sinful old premises. +The Wan Chai waterfront is dominated by the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the largest in Asia, which includes hotels, theaters, and exhibition halls. +The convention center, an extension on reclaimed land, affords stunning views of the Wan Chai waterfront. +On Wan Chai’s Bowen Road, Maiden’s Rock, also called Lover’s Rock, is the gathering place for the annual Maiden’s festival. +Although it is not a tourist attraction, the rock is steeped in tradition. +About 2 km (a mile) east of Wan Chai, Causeway Bay is second only to Tsim Sha Tsui as Hong Kong’s place to shop. +A prosperous tourist district, it is full of shopping centers and department stores, along with a number of good restaurants. +On the nautical side is the Causeway Bay typhoon shelter, where expensive yachts are anchored almost gunwale to gunwale, and the Hong Kong Yacht Club has its headquarters. +Across Gloucester Road, opposite the World Trade Centre, is the Noonday Gun, which under British rule was sounded on the stroke of midday. +Next to the Jardine building is Exchange Square, a complex with a large shopping mall; just behind it is the General Post Office with a philatelic center on the ground floor. +Silent for a time, the tradition has been revived and is a tourist attraction. +It’s not clear how the custom started. +One story has it that traders Jardine, Matheson & Co fired a private salute for a visiting tycoon, an act that incensed the colonial authorities, who felt that they had the sole right to issue such a 21-gun welcome. +As a result, the merchants were forced to limit their salvoes to one a day — and from then on, they signaled the noon hour daily for all to hear. +The gun was made famous by Noel Coward’s satirical song, “Mad Dogs and Englishmen. ” +Farther east is Hong Kong’s largest park, Victoria Park, with sports grounds and other facilities. +On the eastern side of Victoria Park on Causeway Road is Tin Hau Temple, dedicated to Tin Hau, the Taoist Queen of Heaven and patroness of seafarers. +Originally the temple was on the shore but reclamation projects have now left it high and dry. +Inland from the bay is Happy Valley. +At one time it was a very miserable valley, a swampland conducive only to breeding malarial mosquitoes. +It is home to Hong Kong’s first racetrack. +Hong Kong’s gamblers are so eager to play the horses that, despite the opening of a bigger and better racetrack at Sha Tin, the Happy Valley Racecourse is thriving. +Up Tai Hang Road behind Causeway Bay is Aw Boon Haw (Tiger Balm) Gardens (open daily 9:30am–4pm), founded in 1935 by the late Aw Boon Haw, who became a millionaire by producing the medicinal Tiger Balm. +With its garish pagodas, artificial caves, and brightly painted statues of well-known Taoist and Buddhist legends, the garden is an obvious photo opportunity. +Farther west is the ferry terminal for the outlying islands. +Aberdeen, the island’s oldest settlement, once a pirate lair, is home to the “floating population” — the boat people who spend their entire lives on the junks in the harbor, some proudly claiming never to have set foot on land (except for funerals, which don’t count). +The junks are a picturesque sight: children frolicking on the poop deck, women preparing food or playing mah-jong, elderly folk watching the sunset, dogs and cats underfoot, songbirds in bamboo cages overhead — and all afloat. +The boats may appear deceptively primitive, but many of them have their own electric generators and all the modern conveniences. +There are fewer boats now than in the past; many boat people, especially the younger generation, have moved to housing projects. +You can take a tour of the port in one of the small sampans, propelled by hand by women drivers. +A half-hour tour costs HK$50; pay at the end, or the driver may cut your trip short. +Aberdeen’s theatrical floating restaurants have been a tourist attraction for many years. +The food may not live up to expectations, but the fantasy environment makes up for it. +If you can get up early enough, you can attend the pre-dawn auction held at the vast local wholesale fish market; otherwise, have a look at the street market that goes on later in the day. +The peninsula opposite the east coast of Ap Lei Chau island contains Ocean Park (open daily 10am–6pm; admission HK$150 adults, HK$75 children), which has become one of Hong Kong’s biggest attractions. +It is divided into three areas: a highland, a lowland, and the Middle Kingdom. +Linking the lowland and highland sections of the park, a cable-car system offers spectacular views across to the islands of the South China Sea. +The Oceanarium is said to be the largest in the world, and the Ocean Theatre features displays by dolphins, killer whales, seals, and pelicans. +An enormous roller-coaster rising way above the sea, space wheels, and high-diving shows guarantee a day of excitement. +The Middle Kingdom is a recreated “living” history of China’s past, presented through a number of full-size replicas of shrines, temples, pagodas, palaces, and street scenes. +There are also demonstrations of traditional Chinese crafts, including silk-weaving, pottery, and p apermaking. +Water World, formerly in the complex, has closed for redevelopment. +The next inlet is Repulse Bay, a roomy, sandy crescent, with green hills. +Stanley was once one of the main fishing villages on Hong Kong Island. +The well-known Stanley Mar­ket (see page 55) is a major source for bargain clothing and other merchandise. +Stanley is also a favorite place of residence for ex-pats. +Nearby is Central Market, the wholesale food market of Hong Kong, and the Hang Seng building (private offices). +In many areas, the density reaches the equivalent of 150,000 inhabitants per square km (a quarter square mile). +Most of Kowloon’s attractions for visitors are centered near the tip of the peninsula in the district known as Tsim Sha Tsui. +Adjacent to the Star Ferry terminal is Ocean Terminal, where international cruise ships dock, and the gigantic Harbour City, a complex of malls, hotels, and restaurants. +If you walk east on the Star Ferry terminal concourse, you will find yourself on the wonderful Promenade, which begins at the clock tower, all that remains of the once grand Kowloon-Canton Railway Terminus. +The waterfront here offers unparalled views of the harbor and Hong Kong Island. +If you continue to the end of the promenade, you will be in Tsim Sha Tsui East, a busy commercial district built on more than 60 hectares (150 acres) of reclaimed land. +Flanked by the clock tower is the imposing Hong Kong Cultural Centre. +Hong Kong’s major venue for the performing arts, the building has been criticized for its fortress-like architecture and windowless façade. +Just east of the Star Ferry terminal, you’ll come to City Hall. +The interior is a comfortable amalgam of Chinese and Western design, with an impressive main lobby. +The center contains a concert hall with acclaimed acoustics, theaters, a library, an exhibition gallery, shops, restaurants, and bars. +Next door is the Hong Kong Space Museum and Theatre (open Monday, Wed­nesday–Friday 1–9pm; Sat­ur­day, Sunday 10am–9pm; closed Tuesday; admission HK$10 adults, HK$5 children; separate admission to theater). +No longer a center of government, it now functions as a cultural center. +The theater presents “sky shows” and IMAX films. +The Hong Kong Museum of Art (see page 54) stands behind the Space Museum next to the cultural center. +It contains the Xubaizhi collection of painting and calligraphy; galleries devoted to antiquities and ceramics; and a gallery of modern Chinese art. +Particularly interesting is the collection of paintings and photographs of old Hong Kong. +The museum mounts special exhibitions and has an excellent gift shop. +A few blocks up Chatham Road South are two more major museums. +The Scien­ce Mus­eum (see page 55) is a state-of-the-art interactive museum that will teach you how everything and anything works from ancient sailing ships to the latest technology. +Go through the underground walkway to Statue Square; on the east side of the square is the Legislative Council Building, one of the few colonial buildings left in Hong Kong. +The fascinating collection of artifacts pertaining showcases 6,000 years of Hong Kong’s history and Chinese culture. +Just across Salisbury Road from the cultural center is the historic Peninsula Hotel, now expanded and modernized by a 32-story tower. +Its restored lobby is Hong Kong’s most elegant gathering place; afternoon tea here is a visitors’ ritual. +Alongside the hotel runs busy Nathan Road, Hong Kong’s fabled shopping street, lined with shops, hotels, and restaurants. +Kowloon’s main street was created by Sir Matthew Nathan when he was governor of Hong Kong at the turn of the 19th century. +At the time it was built, many thought it absurd to have a tree-lined boulevard running through what was practically a wilderness. +Now the former “Nathan’s Folly” is known as the “Golden Mile. ” +A few blocks up Nathan Road is Kowloon Park (open daily 6am–midnight), elegantly laid out with fountains, promenades, and ornamental gardens; be sure to go up the steps to see the Sculpture Walk. +Farther up Nathan Street you will reach Yau Ma Tei, one of the older parts of Kowloon. +Turn off Nathan and walk down Kansu Street to find the Jade Market (open 10am–3pm; see page 80), with more than 100 stalls spread out in a large tent, just before you reach the overpass. +Hong Kong’s liveliest market scene is the Temple Street Night Market (see page 55), near Jordan Road. +Everything is sold here, from clothing to souvenirs to electronic goods, and the market is known for its street-side food stalls, where you can dine inexpensively on seafood. +So great is the pressure on the available land that most of Hong Kong’s colonial architectural heritage has been demolished and replaced by new skyscrapers. +The market runs all the way up to Tin Hau Temple, where you will find fortune tellers’ tables (some speak English) and possibly street performers singing Chinese opera or pop songs. +The temple is one of the many dedicated to Tin Hau, goddess of seafarers; this one also houses an altar to Shing Wong, the city’s god. +In the daytime the temple (open 8am–6pm) attracts worshipers, and its park attracts strollers and mah-jong players. +Nathan Road goes all the way up to Boundary Street, which marks the boundary between Kowloon and the New Territories. +Near Boundary Street, off Prince Edward Street West, is the Yuen Po Street Bird Garden (open 8am–7pm). +Off the beaten path in Sham Shui Po, west of the junction of Nathan Road and Boundary Street, is the Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb and Museum on Tonkin Road (open Monday–Wednesday and Friday–Saturday 10am–6pm, Sunday 1–6pm; closed Thursday). +This ancient burial vault is believed to date back to the Han Dynasty (a.d. 25–220). +The barrel-vaulted chambers were discovered while excavating for a nearby housing project. +Hong Kong’s New Territories begin at Boundary Street. +Surprises spring up on all sides: new industrial complexes alongside sleepy farming villages, skyscraper towns blooming in the middle of nowhere, Hakka women in their traditional flat straw hats with hanging black curtains, water buffalo, and flashes of azalea everywhere. +Despite protests by preservationists, there was little alternative. +The New Territories can be explored by taking the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR), which makes 10 stops between the station in Kowloon and Sheung Shui, the last stop before entering China. +Ask the tourist authority about its interesting Heritage Tour from Kowloon and other countryside tours (see page 113). +The main highway makes a circuit of the New Territories, beginning with the new town of Tsuen Wan, situated in an area of heavy industry just west of Kowloon. +North of the town, a commanding view over all the New Territories to the north can be seen from Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong’s highest peak at 957 m (3,140 ft). +The highway continues parallel to the coast. +Nearby is Chater Garden and a number of notable architectural landmarks. +One-third of all Hong Kong’s beaches are to be found in a single 14-km (9-mile) stretch of this region’s shoreline. +Place names are often based on the distance to the nearest mile-post, as measured from the tip of the Kowloon peninsula. +Thus you will find “191/2-mile Beach” at Castle Peak Bay. +The main road continues clockwise around the New Territories. +As you approach the border, you can glimpse the skyscrapers of Shenzhen. +Most famous is the striking 74-story I.M. Pei Bank of China Tower, not beloved by the people of Hong Kong — its triangular prisms and sharp angles violate the principles of feng shui (see box, page 68) and its radio masts stick up like an insect’s antennae. +Set amid Tseun Wan’s residential towers is the 18th-century walled village of Sam Tung Uk, now preserved as a museum, and a short walk from the MTR station. +Not far away, at milepost 21 near the large new town of Tuen Mun, is a Taoist retreat known as Ching Chung Koon. +This “Temple of Green Pines” is a spacious complex containing temples and pavilions, statues, and gardens. +It is known for its collection of bonsai and houses a jade seal more than 1,000 years old. +Among the ponds is one inhabited by turtles: Visitors toss in coins in the hope of bouncing one off a turtle’s head, a sure way of achieving good fortune. +An even more interesting image out of Chinese history is the walled village of Kat Hing Wai, in the village of Kam Tin just outside the market town of Yuen Long. +This is the most easily accessible of the New Territories’ walled villages. +It is built in a square, and the only way in is through the gate in the brick defensive wall. +Kat Hing Wai was built four or five centuries ago by the Hakka Tang clan, one of the Five Great Clans that migrated here from North China (see page 11). +Many of the old houses in the village have been replaced by modern structures. +The Tang clan’s earliest walled village was Lo Wai, which also has its defensive wall intact and is entered by a narrow gate. +Few traditional ancestral halls remain in China since the anti-historical destruction during the Cultural Revolution, so these New Territories ancestral halls are rare survivors. +Another such hall, belonging to the Liu Clan, is Liu Man Shek Tong in the village of Sheung Shui. +One of the most interesting sites in the New Territories is Tai Fu Tai, another rare survivor, this one a mansion that belonged to a Confucian high official. +The house was built in 1865 by a member of the Man clan who achieved the rank of tai fu (mandarin) by doing well in the Imperial Exam­inations. +The preservation of this wonderful home is ongoing; a projected restoration of the original garden is still in progress. +The traditional Qing Dyna­sty style of the mansion is enlivened by a few West­ern touches: a Baroque-style ceiling and stained glass above the doorways, showing the builder’s up-to-date attitude at the time of construction. +The highway and the railway stay close together from Fanling, site of the best golf courses in the area. +Tai Po, just south of Fanling, is known for its market, Tai Po Market, which buzzes with activity daily from 7am to 6pm. +Just up a lane from the market is the Man Mo Temple, with long-burning incense coils hanging from its ceiling, a popular spot dedicated to the Taoist gods of war and literature. +The rival Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank is by architect Norman Foster; built on a “coathanger frame,” its floors hang rather than ascend. +The railway line then curves gracefully around Tolo Harbor, an idyllic body of water well-protected from the open sea. +You can take a ferryboat through the harbor, past the ingenious Plover Cove reservoir, a water catchment area appropriated by damming and draining a broad inlet from the sea. +The boats go on to the friendly fishermen’s island of Tap Mun, in Mirs Bay, with stops in remote hamlets of the Sai Kung Peninsula. +The Sai Kung area is the location of two official parks and nature preserves, while on the south side of the peninsula are some of the territory’s best beaches. +Teaching here is conducted in both Chinese and English. +The Art Gallery in the Institute of Chinese Studies Building is worth a visit for its painting and calligraphy collections. +Sha Tin is the site of the Monastery of 10,000 Buddhas, which looks down on a burgeoning town. +There are hundreds of stone steps in the hillside to walk up before you reach Man Fat Temple with its regiments of small gilt statues of Buddha lining the walls. +Some indefatigable climbers will want to go up to the top of the nine-story pink pagoda for a panoramic view. +From inside the vast atrium you can view the whole structure as well as the mechanical workings of the building. +Also here is the Hongkong Heritage Museum (call Tel. 2180 8188 for open hours). +The museum has an art collection, and displays of toys and other artifacts. +Down to earth, the Sha Tin Racecourse can accommodate over 80,000 spectators and is equipped with every imaginable luxury, including a giant video screen facing the stands, and for the horses, air-conditioned stables. +Opposite the Sha Tin railway station, New Town Plaza features shops, cinemas, and even a computer-controlled musical fountain. +Two natural rock formations are always pointed out on excursions. +Legend has it that a local woman climbed the hill every day to watch for her husband returning from across the sea; one day the wife and her child were turned to stone as a permanent symbol of her enduring faith. +Two bronze lions, carrying out feng shui principles, guard its doors. +It really looks the part; the tourists know its name even before the guide can translate it. +Excursion companies sell a variety of orientation cruises of Hong Kong harbor that include a look at some of its 235 outlying islands. +You can catch one of Hong Kong’s historic trams along Des Voeux Road and ride from Central to Causeway Bay (see box, page 66). +The mountainous island of Lantau is the biggest in the colony, and covers nearly twice the area of Hong Kong Island. +Chek Lap Kok airport sits on reclaimed land just off Lantau; plans to build a bridge may change Lantau, but at present it is sparsely populated and makes a perfect getaway. +At 934 m (3,064 ft), Lantau Peak is high enough to attract the occasional rain cloud — refreshingly cool breezes blow on most hot summer days. +More than half the island is parkland, and there is a 70-km (45-mile) circular hiking trail (see page 92). +Ferries depart from Central every two hours between 6:10am and 10:30pm to Silvermine Bay (Mui Wo), where a bus terminal has buses to all parts of the island. +There are also ferries to Discovery Bay. +A short bus ride away is Cheung Sha Beach, 3 km (2 miles) long, and popular for its white sand and excellent facilities. +The most famous site on the island is the world’s tallest seated bronze statue of Buddha at 22 m (72.6 ft), the Tiantan Buddha (see page 55). +The statue and a small museum are on a peak, up 268 steps, above Po Lin Monastery. +The monastery is strictly vegetarian, and visitors are warned not to bring any meat with them. +You can have a delicious vegetarian lunch here. +In 1904, the narrow, double-decker trams ran along the waterfront, but land reclamation has placed them far inland. +From the monastery, hikers enjoy the two-hour cross-country trek down to Silvermine Bay, but the authorities have warned walkers to be on the lookout for snakes, which can be plentiful in the Lantau hinterland, especially in summer. +The hillsides that surround the monastery are the site of Hong Kong’s only tea plantation. +Visitors are welcome to visit the 24-hectare (60-acre) establishment, and may sample the end product, Lantau tea. +The island’s largest community is Tai O. The people of this picturesque village make their living by fishing, duck-breeding, and food-processing. +A Trappist monastery, situated on a hillside overlooking the east coast of Lantau, is also open to visitors. +Some 10 km (6 miles) west of Hong Kong lies this small, crowded island, only one square mile in size. +More than 25,000 people live here, mostly by fishing, but there are also ex-pats, attracted by its laid-back Mediterranean ambience. +From the Bank of China Tower, make a short detour up Garden Road and turn into Battery Path to reach the landmark St. John’s Cathe­dral. +The island has a checkered past of smuggling and pira cy. +The people still carve jade and build seaworthy junks, all by hand. +Fish (heads discreetly wrapped in paper) are still hung out to dry in the sun. +Cheung Chau becomes the center of Hong Kong life once a year, usually in May, during the Bun Festival, a folklore extravaganza (see page 89). +The rest of the year, life goes on at its accustomed pace: rickety machines chugging in two-man factories, children in school uniforms being ferried home to houseboats, and the old fishermen stirring shrimp paste. +By way of formal tourist attractions, Pak Tai Temple, built in 1783, has some fine carvings and a great iron sword said to be 600 years old. +But the most interesting thing to do here is to explore the two villages on the island, Cheung Chau and San Wai. +They are an easy walk apart by the harbor road, or a longer 45-minute hike on the scenic Peak Road. +The Praya, the promenade in front of the ferry pier, is a good place to observe the many junks and fishing boats in the harbor. +There are also several open-air restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood. +Only 35 minutes by ferry from Central, Lamma Island is perfect for swimming, hiking, picnicking, birdwatching, or just sitting back to watch the bananas grow. +Built 1847–1849, this usually deserted Anglican foundation is Hong Kong’s oldest church. +Hong Kong’s third largest island has a population of only about 12,000; it is still largely undeveloped, and life on Lamma, if not totally primitive, is close to the essentials. +Archaeologists indicate that Lamma has probably been inhabited for some 4,000 years, and the island is known as “Hong Kong’s Stone Age Island. ” +The principal settlements are Yung Shue Wan on Lamma’s northwest, and Sok Kwu Wan, on the east coast. +Both villages offer good waterfront restaurants with homestyle Chinese food, principally seafood fresh from the tank. +The ports are within hiking distance of several beautiful beaches, and within a one-hour hike of each other on a marked trail. +You can build an appetite for dinner by making your way from the beach to the restaurant. +Yung Shue Wan is still a very British residential enclave, with many nice pubs. +During World War II, the church was turned into a club for Japanese officers; it was restored after the war. +Macau, the final bastion of Portugal’s great 16th-century empire, is much more than just a quirk of history. +Here, where East and West first met, life combines the spirit of Asia with something of the sunny atmosphere of the Mediterranean. +Macau’s historic center, with its colonial architecture, has a distinctly Medit­er­ranean flavor. +No matter how many tunnels and transit systems speed cross-harbor traffic, nothing matches the ride on the Star Ferry from Kowloon to the Central District across Victoria Harbor. +Col­­o­n­na­­ded public buildings, iron balconies, winding streets, flagstoned squares and the many churches all speak of the Portuguese inheritance as well as the Chinese, a fusion of East and West that has produced the unique Macanese culture. +The story of the Western discovery of Macau begins in 1513 when Portuguese explorer, Jorge Alvares, reached the south coast of China. +Traders followed in his wake, setting up bases in several parts of the Pearl River estuary. +Finally, in 1557, they were all consolidated in Macau. +It was the only European gateway to China, and through Macau flowed Western technology and religion. +In 1576 Pope Gregory XIII created the Macau diocese, covering all of China and Japan. +Note the stained glass windows in the Quiet Chapel, designed by Joseph Edward Nuttgens in the late 1950s. +No less impressive were the secular challenges. +China and Japan were not on speaking terms, so trade between them had to be channeled through a neutral middleman. +Lucky Macau fit the specifications exactly. +The Dutch sent an invasion flotilla to Macau in 1622, but the defenders triumphed. +However, the end of the golden age was drawing near. +A haven for persecuted Japanese Christians in the 17th century, Portugal’s neutrality during World War II assured the territory a flood of refugees. +They were joined by a swarm of spies of all conceivable nationalities, and Macau won a name for international intrigue. +Portugal’s very precarious foothold on the Asian coast ended in 1999 with a formal handover to China. +Macau, now the Chinese Special Economic Zone of Zhuhai, is becoming something like a boomtown as an exporter of toys, furniture, and electronics. +Macau’s population is estimated at around 450,000, an appallingly high figure for such a small area; recent land reclamation has eased the situation to some extent. +If a trace of tropical lethargy still adds to the charm in this city of sidewalk cafés, palm trees, and pedicabs, any torpor definitely ends once inside the doors of Macau’s casinos, scene of some of the liveliest gambling west of Las Vegas. +Gambling provides almost 40 percent of the government’s tax revenues, and is a major source of employment. +Its spin-off industries, prostitution and pawn shops, also thrive. +The easiest way to get to Macau is by jetfoil, operated by TurboJet (Tel. 2859-3333). +The 40-mile trip takes about an hour. +Across from the I.M. Pei tower a winding path leads up to Hong Kong Park. +Departures are from the Macau Ferry Terminal, just west of Central in the Shun Tak Centre, 200 Connaught Road, Central, in Hong Kong. +Macau’s own currency, the pataca, is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar, and you can use your Hong Kong currency freely in Macau. +Outside the terminal, you will find taxis as well as buses to all points (take 3, 3A, 10, or 10A to the historic center; exact change is required). +You’ll also be approached by pedicab drivers; these are tricycles carrying two passengers. +The park’s 10.5 hectares (25 acres) of landscaped gardens and lakes contains a large greenhouse that holds many species of plants, and an aviary of exotic birds. +Pedicabs were once the most common form of transportation in Macau, but today they are mainly a tourist attraction. +Directly across the street from the wharf where passengers arrive from Hong Kong is the first surprise to greet visitors to Macau — the vast Jai-alai Palace, said to be the world’s most luxurious frontón. +In an effort to provide yet one more thing to bet on, players are imported from Spain to take part in this lightning-fast Basque ball game. +The grandstand situated on the seaside road, the Avenida da Amizade (Friendship Avenue), marks the finishing line for the Macau Grand Prix, the international car-racing event held here every November. +Also in front of the ferry terminal is a new Cyber fountain, with 86 water spouts that shoot up to 70 m (230 ft) and are illuminated at night by 288 spotlights producing 80 colors. +Continuing around the peninsula in a clockwise direction brings you to the Rua da Praia Grande (Big Beach Street) — a pleasant promenade with shaded benches under the banyan trees. +Along this elegant avenue is Government House, a modest pink palace. +The central square of the historic city center is Largo do Senado. +For an authentic feel of old Portugal, slip into the cool entrance hall of theimpressive Leal Senado (“Loyal Senate” building), a fine example of colonial architecture. +On the inside walls are flowered blue tiles (azulejos) and coats of arms. +The inscription over the archway reads, “Cidade do nome de Deus, não ha outra mais leal” (“City of the Name of God, None is More Loyal”) — a bit of praise attributed to Portugal’s King John IV in the 17th century. +In the park is the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware (see page 54). +For all its historic grandeur, the loyal Senate now is the equivalent of a city council, its statesmanship dedicated to water supplies, sewage lines, and the establishment of playgrounds. +Macau’s most memorable monument is the Baroque façade of the ruins of São Paulo, the only remains of a beautiful 17th-century Jesuit church. +The rest of the building and an adjoining college were destroyed in a typhoon-fanned fire in 1835. +The rich sculptural effects on the façade mix Eastern and Western symbols: familiar saints, Chinese dragons, and a Portuguese caravel. +It’s in Hong Kong’s oldest colonial building, with exhibits describing the history of tea from the Warring States period (475–221 b.c. ) to the present. +Beneath the church, the Museum of Sacred Art houses a collection of sacramental objects. +The ambitious Museum of Macau (open Tuesday–Sunday 10am–6pm; admission HK$15) opened in 1998 in the lower levels of the Monte Fortress. +Entrance is by escalator, near St. Paul’s. +It gives an overview of Macau’s history and its daily life and traditions. +A re-created street of colonial Macau is lined with traditional Chinese shops. +Local legend claims that he wrote part of his great saga, Os Lusíadas, in what is now called the Camões Grotto, situated in the spacious tropical Camões Garden. +Next to the museum, behind a gate (opened to anyone who knocks), is the Old Protestant Cemetery. +Those whose fate was to die on some far foreign field could not have wanted a more peaceful, lovely graveyard. +The small, whitewashed chapelwas the first Protestant church built in China. +For a different vision of Old China, spend a few quiet moments in the classic Lou Lim Ieoc Garden. +Here, arched bridges, pagodas, fish ponds, and stands of bamboo create the mood of a timeless Chinese painting. +Nearby is the Memorial House of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Chinese Republic. +If you leave the park and walk up Cotton Tree Drive, you will find the Peak Tram terminal. +Photos and documents tell the life story of the physician-revolutionary-statesman, who lived for a time in Macau, but never in this building. +Kun Iam Tong, off Avenida do Coronel Mesquita (open daily 8am–6pm), is a 17th-century Buddhist temple of considerable splendor and charm. +An unexpected piece of historical memorabilia turns up in the monastery garden, where guides point out a small stone table used for a treaty-signing ceremony in 1844. +The signatories, who were the Chinese viceroy from Canton and the minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, put their names to a historic document — the first-ever treaty between the two countries. +T he crowded Kowloon peninsula and the booming New Territories on the mainland call for some serious sightseeing; but we begin across Victoria Harbor on Hong Kong Island, where the city was first founded and which remains the center of government, business, and commerce. +Nearby is the Macau Cultural Center and the Museum of Art (open Tuesday–Sunday 10am–7pm; closed Monday; small admission). +For more than a century, the most exhilarating way up Victoria Peak has been by funicular. +Macau’s oldest museum, the Maritime Museum (Wednesday–Monday 10am–5:30pm; admission HK$10, HK$5 children over 10) traces the history of Macau’s connection to the sea. +Exhibits cover fishing, seaborne trade, sea transport, and there is an aquarium. +The museum also offers boat tours aboard a fishing junk. +The museum is almost on the spot where the Portuguese first landed. +When they came ashore they found the A-Ma Temple (properly called Ma Kok Temple; open daily dawn to dusk), dedicated to the favorite goddess of fishermen, who is also known as Tin Hau. +The area was called A-Ma Gau (“Bay of A-Ma”), and in this way, Macau got its name. +The remains of the 17th-century Barra Fortress, which once defended the southern tip of the peninsula, contains the chapel of Santiago (St. James). +The Peak Tram starts its scenic climb just across the street and around the corner from the American Consulate in Garden Road and makes its way, sometimes at a startlingly steep incline, to the summit at 398 m (1,305 ft). +The saint is much revered in the surrounding area. +Among other legends surrounding the statue is a very modern one: During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, when Red Guards were running rampant on Wanchai island, just a swim away, the image of St. James is said to have stepped down from the altar and halted an invasion. +Part of the fortress has been converted and is now used as a luxury inn. +The northernmost point in Macau is the frontier between two contrasting worlds. +The Barrier Gate (Portas do Cerco), which was built more than a century ago, marks the boundary between the enclave of Macau and the People’s Republic of China. +Macau’s casinos are a source of non-stop excitement. +The fancifully decorated Macau Palace, a floating casino moored on the western waterfront, is fitted out with gambling tables, slot machines (known locally as “hungry tigers”) and, for hungry humans, a restaurant. +Gambling is wildly popular with the Chinese of Hong Kong, and they make up nearly 80 percent of all visitors to the casinos. +The casinos offer familiar international games — baccarat, blackjack, boule, craps, roulette — along with more exotic Chinese pastimes. +Watch the fantan dealer for a few minutes and you’ll almost be an expert: It’s simply a matter of how many odd buttons are left after he has divided a pile of them into groups of four. +Dai-Siu (Big and Small) is a dice game in which the croupier throws three dice inside a glass container. +Players bet on the numbers that will come up, and on whether the result will be “big” or “small. ” +Keno is a variation of bingo in which the player chooses numbers to bet on before the draw is made. +The casinos have no admission charge and formal dress is optional, though long pants for men are required. +They keep busy 24 hours a day, but if you want a change of scene there are always more gambling opportunities available. +The right-of-way travels past fancy apartment blocks, bamboo stands, and jungle flowers. +You can try your luck at pari mutuel betting on jai-alai at pari mutuel, greyhound-racing at the Cani­drome (one of the largest in the world), and harness-racing on Taipa. +Like Hong Kong, Macau is a duty-free port. +It is famous for its gold jewelry. +Market prices per tael (34 grams/1. +2 ounces) of gold are set daily. +You should always ask for a certificate of guarantee when you buy gold or jewelry. +Browsing is a real pleasure in Macau’s main streets and byways, where shops aimed at the tourist market are interspersed with the more workaday ironmongers, herbalists, and noodle stalls. +Knowle­dgeable visitors look for antiques — either Chinese heirlooms or leftovers from the gracious Portuguese colonial days. +However, you are not likely to find bargains, and you should be aware that unless you are an expert, you can end up with a fake. +Also worth investigating are contemporary handicrafts, both Portuguese and Chinese, from across the border. +Gourmets award Macau high marks for dependable Chinese cooking with an exotic bonus: Portuguese food and wines. +Macau’s own cuisine is a combination of Chinese flavors with the flavors imported from Portugal, Brazil, and Africa. +Whether you choose to dine in one of the Macanese, Chinese, traditional Portuguese, or international-style restaurants, you will be treated to a hearty meal at a good price. +The Peak is still the most fashionable place to live in Hong Kong, but real estate prices here are astronomical; rents run around HK$50,000 a month. +The ingredients, especially the fresh fish and seafood, are first-rate. +A delicate, delicious fish is Macau sole (linguado). +Imported dried cod (bacalhao) is the Portuguese national dish; several varieties are available, usually baked. +Macau has an ample supply of Portuguese wines. +Try a vinho verde, a mildly sparkling young wine from northern Portugal, or a hearty red Dão or Colares. +After dinner, a glass of Madeira or port is recommended to round off the meal. +The more abstemious can stick to Portuguese mineral water. +Bridges link Macau with its two islands. +Since the construction of the New Macau-Taipa Bridge has allowed easy access to the airport, the population has grown to more than 30,000, with industrial development, new apartment blocks, and luxury resort hotels. +The quaint Taipa Village, with its narrow lanes and colonial buildings painted yellow, blue, and green, has almost been completely swallowed up by the development of nearby housing projects. +The island is also the designated home of the University of East Asia. +Pay a visit to the Casa Museu da Taipa, and you’ll be able to get a glimpse of how Macanese families lived in former days. +A grand colonial house, fully restored and outfitted with period furnishings, provides the centerpiece for this expanding “cultural village. ” +Not as developed as Taipa, it offers the joys of sand and sea and is known for its beaches. +Cheoc Van and Hac Sa (“Black Sands”) are both popular resort areas, with lifeguards on duty in summer and windsurfing boards for rent. +The Peak Tram, originally steam-powered, was built to speed the wealthy taipans to their mountainside retreats. +There are restaurants, swimming pools, and changing facilities. +The village of Coloane is picturesque, with a central square lined with cafés. +The small Chapel of St. Francis Xavier is dedicated to the 16th-century patron saint of missionaries, and has on display the elbow of the saint, along with the bones of numerous Japanese and Vietnamese martyrs. +Seac Pai Van Park, on the west coast of the island is an interesting natural preserve with aNatural History Museum. +Guangzhou was China’s major seaport for 2,000 years and the center for European traders in the 19th century. +Ever since 1957 the Canton Trade Fair (officially the Chinese Export Commodities Fair) has attracted throngs of international business people every spring and autumn. +Guangzhou, with a population of more than 5 million, straddles the Pearl River — China’s fifth longest — which links the city to the South China Sea. +Before the tram was built, sedan chairs and rickshaws were the only way to get here. +This waterway accounts for much of the local charm and excitement, as the daily drama of the ferryboats, junks, sampans, freighters — and even small tankers and big gunboats — unfolds right in the center of town. +Guangdong Province has some of China’s most fertile land, and grows two crops of rice a year, along with vegetables of all kinds. +Guangzhou today is mostly about business and industry, featuring new development, skyscrapers, a whole new business area, and raised expressways. +Since the tram’s inauguration in 1888 it has stopped only for typhoons and World War II. +Guangzhou is interestingly one of China’s most prosperous cities, determinedly on the move into the modern world. +It seems that the picturesque older sections with their old houses, narrow streets, and winding alleyways may not be around much longer. +There are many package tours to Guangzhou from Hong Kong (see page 113), and this may be the easiest way to visit the city. +However, it’s also easy to get to Guangzhou by train or ferry. +Four comfortable express trains depart the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) Station in Hung Hom, Kowloon, making the trip in less than two hours. +Turbo Cat ferries leave the China Hong Kong City (CHKC) terminal twice a day; the journey takes two hours. +As the double-decker boats get ready to leave the pier, bells ring, the gangplank is raised, deckhands in blue sailor suits man the hawsers, and a couple of hundred commuters begin a seven-minute sightseeing tour. +Citibus also travels to Guangzhou from CHKC; there are five round-trips a day, taking 31/2 hours. +You will need a visa to enter China (see page 109 for information). +Hong Kong currency is widely accepted in Guangzhou, or you can change your currency into RMB (yuan) at any bank or hotel. +The modern 120-passenger cars make the journey in around eight minutes. +English is spoken in hotels and tourist destinations. +If you travel by train, you will arrive at the Guangzhou East Station, a large modern complex, which connects with the subway, buses, hotel transfer services, and taxis. +The train station is in the newer business district; nearby is Asia’s third-tallest building, at 83 stories, which will often be pointed out to you. +Sights in Guangzhou +However, on sunny Saturdays and Sundays you may have to brave a crowd lining up at the lower terminal. +The park is landscaped with lakes and gardens. +In the park is the 1380 Zhenhai Tower, one of the city’s oldest buildings. +Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Memorial Hall honors the founder of the Chinese Revolution, flanked by his heroic statue in copper. +Dr. Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925) began his political career in Canton. +This enormous, modern version of a traditional Chinese building, with sweeping blue tile roofs, contains an auditorium big enough to seat 4,700 people. +It was built in 1931 with contributions from overseas Chinese. +The center of the park is the Five Rams Statue. +It celebrates the founding of Guangzhou, when five spirits rode their goats down from the celestial realm to present the inhabitants of the city with their very first grains of rice. +Guangzhou’s most important Buddhist monument is the 1,400-year-old Temple of the Six Banyan Trees (open 8am–5pm). +During the spring and autumn festivals, when people traditionally seek out the hilltops, the throngs are so large you would be better advised to try another time. +Although the banyan trees that once flourished here are now no more, the often-restored complex has remained a focus of local Buddhist activities. +Golden Buddha statues in several of Buddha’s aspects adorn the temples, and overlooking them is the 17-story Flower Pagoda, a slender relic of the Song dynasty (a.d. 960–1279). +In the early Middle Ages, Canton had a significant Muslim population as a result of its trade with the Middle East. +This explains the presence in Guangzhou of the Huaisheng Mosque, reputed to be China’s oldest, and traditionally dated a.d. 627. +Rebuilt in modern times, the mosque serves the small local community of Muslims. +The modern minaret is known as the “Plain (or Naked) Pagoda,” in contrast to the Flower Pagoda of the Buddhist temple. +Chen Jia Ci, the Chen Family Institute (open daily 8:30am–5pm), was built in the late 19th century to promote arts and crafts. +Porcelain friezes adorn the rooftops and ridgepoles, telling the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. +Inside is a collection of ceramics, carvings, and furniture. +There is also a market and a porcelain shop. +Mao Zedong himself directed the institute in 1926, and gave lectures on geography, rural education, and “The Problem of the Chinese Peasantry. ” +Zhou Enlai also taught here. +The atmosphere of 19th-century Canton is best evoked on Shamian Island, a haunting, nostalgic place in the Pearl River. +This small formerly residential island, beautifully shaded by banyan trees, was the home of the closed community of the foreign colony in the era of “concessions. ” +The bridges were barred by night with iron gates to keep the Chinese out. +Its stately European-style buildings have since been restored, largely for use as government offices and foreign legations. +The island also has Guangzhou’s first modern luxury resort hotel. +A popular optional excursion is an hour’s detour to Guangzhou Zoo, founded in 1958. +It houses more than 200 animal species, most famous of which is the giant panda, and has an imaginative monkey mountain behind a moat. +Not to be missed is a visit to Guangzhou’s famous open-air market, Qing Ping. +Guangzhou is famous for its food. +The Cantonese love to eat and have the reputation of eating almost anything that walks on four legs. +The market bears this out: Along with the usual ducks and chickens, you will see for sale snakes, dogs, bats, and sometimes monkeys — all are highly prized as delicacies. +More pleasantly, you can browse among lanes of antiques, flowers, herbs, fruit, goldfish, songbirds, and more. +A very popular day-trip from Guangzhou goes to Foshan, a city of nearly 300,000 people, renowned for its handicrafts for more than a thousand years. +The individual artisans’ shops are no longer here, but you can visit a silk-weaving factory, a ceramics plant, and the Foshan Folk Art Studio, where you can observe workers making Chinese lanterns, carving sculptures, painting scrolls, and cutting intricate designs in paper. +Foshan’s most outstanding artistic monument is Zu Miao, the Taoist Ancestral Temple, a Sung dynasty establishment rebuilt in the 14th century and well worth visiting. +You can walk around the peak for impressive views of Hong Kong, the coastline, and the islands in 45 minutes on Lugard and Harlech roads. +The complex contains the oldest wooden stage in China, used by the Wan Fu Tai Chinese opera. +Shenzhen was China’s first Special Economic Zone. +Literally created out of rural farmland, it was set up in the 1970s as the answer to Hong Kong. +From a population of 20,000 it has grown into a metropolis of 2.5 million, with tightly clustered skyscrapers and some of China’s highest grossing industries. +Because Shenzhen is much cheaper than Hong Kong, it is a popular weekend destination for Hong Kong’s Chinese, who come to relax, dine in its resorts, and play golf — Shenzhen hosted the World Cup of Golf in 1995. +It is even becoming something of a commuter town — owning or renting an apartment here costs a fraction of what it would in Hong Kong. +Shenzhen is easy to reach — the KCR commuter train runs throughout the day, the trip taking about 40 minutes. +Visitors need a visa to enter China, and must disembark at the border (now called “boundary”) checkpoint, Lo Wai. +A Turbo Cat ferry makes a one-hour trip (7am–7pm) from Hong Kong’s Macau Ferry Terminal to Shekou on the Natau Peninsula, which is part of the economic zone. +Shenzhen is a premier shopping center, and much cheaper than Hong Kong. +It is known for its inexpensive (but well-made) knock-off designer goods. +The view is especially effective at night. +You can use your Hong Kong dollars here, so there’s no need to change currency. +Some places take credit cards, but cash is better for bargaining. +Shenzhen’s main tourist attractions are its enormous theme parks. +There are also souvenir stands, benches for a rest, and perhaps Hong Kong’s last surviving rickshaws — however these are not for rides, but are a tourist photo opportunity. +It contains elaborate replicas of China’s chief monuments in impressive detail, including a scaled-down version of the Great Wall. +The 24 China Folk Culture Villages represent China’s ethnic variety; they feature craftspeople in traditional costumes along with folksong and dance performances. +In Shekou is a large Free Market, and an exhibition of Xian’s terra-cotta warriors. +If you’re up to a climb, take the Mount Austin road to the Victoria Peak Gardens. +These gardens used to belong to the governor’s mountain lodge, but the building was demolished by the Japanese during the occupation of Hong Kong. +From the lower terminal of the Peak Tram it’s only a short walk to the former governor’s residence, Government House, now a museum. +Across from the mansion, the Zoological and Botanical Gardens (gardens open daily 6am–10pm; zoo 6am–7pm; admission free) provide a welcome oasis amid the big-city pressures. +In the very early morning the park is taken over by people doing tai-chi exercises. +Both young and old go through ballet-like movements in slow motion to discipline the mind and body. +The park’s zoo has a collection of weird and wonderful chattering jungle birds. +The Western District is one of Hong Kong’s oldest neighborhoods, and its narrow streets hold a collection of fascinating traditional shops and enterprises. +It is more interesting for its architecture than for its shopping; it’s situated in a four-story Edwardian building built in 1906. +For an interesting glimpse of small and family-owned shops, walk along Bonham Strand East and West, Man Wa Lane, and Cleverly Street. +The big green-and-white boat weaves its way through an ever-changing obstacle course of both large and small craft, and the soaring skyline of Hong Kong Island draws nearer. +You’ll find herb and medicine shops, incense shops, chop makers’ shops (makers of Chinese seals), and more. +Hong Kong University’s campus is spread along Bonham Road. +When it opened in 1912, the university had a total of 72 students. +The University’s Fung Ping Shan Museum, 94 Bonham Road (open Monday–Saturday 9:30am–6pm, admission free) holds a significant collection of antiquities: bronzes, dating from 3000 b.c. , and ceramics, including Han Dynasty tomb pottery. +It also has the world’s largest collection of Nestorian crosses from the Yuan Dynasty period. +Take the Mid-Levels Escalator to Hollywood road, known for its antiques and curio shopping. +Here the windows and open doors of the shops reveal an alluring selection of Asian furniture, carpets, carvings, tomb figures, porcelain, and bronze. +Walk west along Hollywood Road until you come to Man Mo Temple, the island’s oldest house of worship (though the date of its founding is subject to dispute). +The gold-plated sedan chairs on the left-hand side of the temple were once used for transporting the statues of the temple’s gods in religious processions. +Contributions to the Annual Fund help us to prepare our master’s students with a thorough knowledge of their discipline, as well as the needed skills for success in the workplace. +They enable us to provide students with access to state-of-the-art technology and opportunities to attend professional colloquia, seminars, and conferences on and off campus. +Your support of the Graduate School’s Annual Fund is critical to maintaining the core values of GSAS: rigorous inquiry, the lifelong discovery of ideas, and our commitment to the ethics of scholarship. +We also hope you have been able to follow the public education campaign for our master’s programs in The New York Times and elsewhere, a sign of our belief in them. +Your gift reinforces our emphasis on these ideals that have distinguished the Graduate School of Arts and Science as a preeminent center for advanced learning since 1886. +I am grateful for your continued partnership in our pursuit of these shared values. +With best wishes, +Catharine R. Stimpson Dean +GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCE +Fall 2000 +Ms. FirstName LastName NumberStreetName Statename, StateZipCode +NEW YORK UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCE OFFICE OF THE DEAN +Dear Ms. LastName +Over the past year, the Graduate School of Arts and Science has seen record level contributions from its alumni and alumnae to the School’s Annual Fund. +As you read the enclosed Dean 's Report and Request, I hope you will consider how your support of the Graduate School’s Annual Fund shapes the lives of its faculty and students as it makes an impact on the depth and breadth of their NYU experience. +However, it reflects on a greater level both the desire of many Mayans to assimilate, as they still feel that is necessary for social mobility, and a belief among the general population that Mayans do not require a separate bill of rights as they are covered under the general rights already in the constitution (Warren 2002: 159, 172). +Illiteracy rates are in fact correlated with the Mayan language itself: those who speak Spanish are more likely to be literate than those who speak Mayan alone (England 2003: 733). +Therefore when considering the indigenous revitalization movements which began in 20th century Latin America, the impact of those indigenous languages on those movements and the nature of the identity of the peoples themselves is key. +Nonetheless, in 2003 the legislature passed the law of national languages, which while reaffirming Spanish as the official language, recognizes the importance of indigenous languages as part of national identity and encourages their active promotion. +This question of identity as defined by language manifests differently in Guatemala and Colombia. +Within the pan-Mayan movement, there remains a desire to maintain linguistic diversity: some view the reduction of their language to the status of "dialect" devalues their unique identity and place in the Mayan world; however, despite differences over standardization, the pan-Mayan movement itself is largely cohesive. +In contrast, Colombian indigenous groups are divided to the extent that linguistic diversity is not only valued, but serves to split the population, both between groups and within groups themselves. +An example is the Tukanoans: while considered a single “ethnic group”, they maintain 16 distinct language groups and practice linguistic exogamy, in which members of one language group must marry into another (Jackson 1995: 4). +Language further works to establish identity by encapsulating a worldview markedly removed from that of the dominant Western culture. +Indigenous cosmology, or “cosmovision”, is difficult to translate into Romanticized languages; it maintains a concept of culture, defined as “the form of behavior resulting from a permanent harmonic relationship with Nature” (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 58) and view of history as cyclic that is often at odds with Western modes of thought. +The differences between Western and native perceptions then lead to conflict within the revitalization movements themselves: the question of embracing Western law and discourse is continually grappled with. +Language plays a complex and integral role in the development and redefinition of an identity, particularly when that identity has been oppressed and subsumed by a dominant other for as long as that of the indigenous peoples in Latin America has. In particular I will examine two divergent yet remarkably parallel cases, that of the Maya in Guatemala and the Nasa and Guambiano peoples of Colombia. +Customary law in Colombia contrasts with Western law as it maintains a different perception of casual relationships: tying back to the indigenous concept of harmony, crimes are viewed as imbalances in the community's harmony and can often be traced back to those who did not perpetuate the crime, but may have influenced the accused to do so. +When a punishment - often public and corporal in nature - is carried out, the group feels the effects as a whole. +Shamans often sit with the criminal as he fills his sentence, sharing in their ordeal. +(Rappaport 2005) Once punishments are completed, the criminal is seen as rehabilitated, having fulfilled his duty to restore harmonic order, and is welcomed back into the community (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 61, Rappaport 2005: 97). +Translation of law into native languages has proved to be a difficult task, as Western ideas often have no parallel in indigenous cosmovision. +The translation of the Colombian constitution sparked the development of neologisms, as the goal of the translators was not to provide a direct translation of the constitution, but to recapture its spirit in a native, rather than Western discourse (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 58-59). +This provides a second interpretation of law distinct from that of the Spanish Colombian culture, and in turn an interpretation aligned with native ideology for the cabildos to follow when governing (Rappaport 2005: 93, 236). +Translation fulfills another vital role, as it is employed in the rediscovery of the indigenous identity itself. +Workshops and advocacy groups regularly work to translate native histories back into native forms of knowledge, distancing them from the Western influences that have invaded over the past six centuries. +The Guambiano history project charts native history as the outward spiraling events which are both cyclic and parallel in nature; Mayan historians translate and document oral histories whose legacy is in danger of being forgotten (Rappaport 2005: 165). +This attempt to regain identity via translation is indicative of the intimate relationship between indigenous revitalization within a modern context and native language use. +Difficulties arise, however, as conflicts between the traditional and modern and native languages and Spanish develop. +The differences between cosmovision in Spanish and indigenous languages are great, leading to the difficulty of governing in Spanish yet embracing indigenous mode of thought. +In addition, there exists a complex relationship between what are perceived as different levels of indigenous identity; the Nasa, for example, divide themselves into the traditional, modern, and new. +The authenticity of the modern Nasa, who are often metropolitan Spanish speakers attempting to reconnect with their roots, is brought into question by the traditional, who speak Nasa Yuwe and lead a rural existence(Rappaport 2005). +In Guatemala the fact remains that Spanish is the gateway to social mobility; years of conflict and refugee status have established the desire to leave a rural way of life for an updated urban one, and those literate in Spanish have the tools to do so. +Illiteracy and poverty is associated with Maya; thus there is the conflict between the desire to recapture the unique Mayan identity via the language and the need to improve living conditions, which most often occurs under Spanish influence. +Their struggle to attain status in societies still bearing the marks of Spanish colonialism is deeply tied to their struggle to reaffirm the nature of their “indigenous identity”, and is in turn linked to the interaction of Spanish and their native languages. +Politicians make a point of appearing in their native dress and speaking in their native language in assembly, even if they are more at home in a business suit and speaking Spanish; indigenous identity has become a calling card to the extent that at times it appears to be a caricature of itself. +The Colombian constitution is problematic in that it provides little guide as to what exactly forms an indigenous group; the concept of culture is so complex and divergent that establishing self-determination in the eyes of the Colombian government requires emphasizing differences. +Efforts towards development, then, cannot endanger traditional culture and values, for fear of losing cultural legitimacy (Jackson 1995: 5). +There develops a duality in native culture; for example, many Nasa children receive instruction in Nasa Yuwe yet converse in Spanish outside the classroom. +An emphasis on preserving, rather than practicing, native culture arises: indigenous authenticity is maintained by sustaining knowledge of traditional practices and beliefs without fully embracing them on a day-to-day basis (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 66-67). +This intersection of language and indigenous identity poses challenges which have yet to be fully addressed. +In Guatemala, they are largely comprised of the conflict between poverty and progress; the pan-Mayan movement must meet the dual trials of establishing a positive identity within the Mayan population itself and legitimacy in the legal and political arenas in order to gain policy reforms and codified rights in law. +In Colombia, legal successes have often come about due to the Colombian government's recognition of the political viability of the rhetoric of indigenous rights; by granting indigenous peoples judicial sovereignty they hope to win the trust of a people who view the government as incapable of protecting them from the ongoing civil strife, and by giving them blocks of land they hope that the indigenous community will be able to keep out drug traffickers and guerrillas where the government itself has not (Jackson 1995: 8). +Regardless of the ulterior motives behind their legal status, indigenous peoples in Colombia now possess the rights to teach and govern in their own languages according to their own laws (Jackson 1995: 5). +Works Cited +The effects of Spanish colonialism are both far-reaching and deeply embedded in both countries. +One of the most prominent, lasting influences is that of the land grant system. Initially the Spanish government attempted to instate the encomienda system, in which a conquistador maintained direct control over the indigenous peoples and their land. +Humans, in the process of defining themselves, look to immediately recognizable factors in order to differentiate themselves from others. +In reality land ownership rights were the exclusive right of the Spanish, resulting in modern-day malappropriation of land ownership in the hands of the descendants of the Spanish colonialists (Warren 1978, 7-8). Indigenous peoples are commonly sharecroppers or migrant workers. +The impoverished plight of the native populations was first recognized by the Marxist movements of the early 20th century. +Those were the first to articulate the necessity of affirming the independent identity of the indigenous populations; previously, both the left and right maintained a belief in indigenous assimilation into the dominant Spanish culture. +However, they also claimed that they were part of a larger group, the working class, whose poverty was a direct result of American imperialism; therefore they should join these new popular leftist movements in order to reorganize society into a worker-friendly one (Jackson 1995: 6-7). +In Colombia this resulted in a civil war between the Liberal and Communist parties and Conservative party. +A truce established between the Liberals and Conservatives failed to meet the demands of the Communists, who in turn sustained guerrilla attacks in response. +Guerrilla warfare has since become a part of Colombian life; multiple groups maintain an ongoing presence, often stationing themselves in the remote mountainous villages often populated by various indigenous peoples. +This process leads to the development of what can be broadly termed culture: a group of people joined by characteristics, traits, and beliefs comes to view themselves as sharing a distinct identity, discernible from that of those “outside” them, those who do not belong. +This resulted in persecution against the Mayans, who make up about 60% of the overall population. In both counties, guerrillas were often associated with the native peoples; in many cases there were coalitions, but in others the guerrillas merely used the remote, inaccessible villages as hideouts. +In Guatemala over 450 villages were destroyed, 200,000 Mayans were killed, and over 1 million more were displaced. +The main guerrilla force was demilitarized in 1996 with the establishment of a peace accord (Warren 2002: 157-158). +The growth in popularity and militarism of these popular leftist movements is intertwined with the development of the indigenous revitalization movements. +By the 1970s the need to assert a cause separate from the general left was seen, and indigenous rights movements formed (Warren 2003: 174, Jackson 2002: 82). +Central to these was the question of indigenous identity: +Most still speak it in various forms, and efforts by Mayan linguists to standardize the language are producing a coherent, modern version of Maya (England 2003: 733, 739). +The popular left, however, continues to see the rhetoric of ethnic rights as a politically viable tool. +The Pan-Mayan movement thus benefits from the lasting influence of the popular left on Guatemalan governmental policies without risking drawing the (often negative) attention of the government (England 2003: 735, Warren 2003: 181). +A main concern among pan-Mayanists is the reversal of the long-seated inferiority complex of the Mayan people; despite their position as majority within the Guatemalan population, they remain impoverished and marginalized on the fridge of society. +Naturally this can be signaled by any number of things - clothing, food, lifestyle choices. +This results in part from the ingrained influences of Spanish colonialism: Spanish continues to be associated with modernity and social mobility, whereas Maya is seen as backward and inferior. +Pan-Mayan leaders therefore seek to develop a return to Maya as it was in its classical renaissance, a language of power and prestige (England 2003: 736). +By doing so they hope to inculcate among the Mayan peoples a renewed sense of pride which will in turn reverse the dogma of Spanish superiority. +Colombia, in contrast, has no unified "pan-Indian" sentiments; the indigenous population is a small fraction of the overall population, a fractured entity divided by region and language. +Several competing and oftentimes conflicting indigenous rights advocacy groups have developed: the ONIC poses itself as the sole pan-Indian group, yet lacks legitimacy in the eyes of many indigenous peoples (Jackson 2002: 83, 85). +One of the most dominant and easily noted factors is language. +It often stands in conflict with the AICO, its Guambiano counterpart (Jackson 2003: 83-84). +Whereas the Mayanists benefit from a single main identity, those of Colombia must operate under historical differences between the various ethnic groups (Jackson 2002: 109). +The Nasa and Guambiano have stood in opposition since pre-colonial times; therefore any coalition between the two advocacy groups is tenuous at best (Rappaport 2005: 2). +The command of a language, while not affording guaranteed access to the community which speaks it, is often the key to gaining entry. +In the 1990s the rhetoric of "cultural diversity" was picked up the Colombian media, and subsequently entered the consciousness of the greater metropolitan public, thereby cementing its place in Colombian society as necessity and further complicating the role of indigenous movements in gaining rights for indigenous peoples as a whole. +A major success in the Colombian saga is the revamped constitution of 1991, which includes a section on indigenous rights, as the Congress which drafted it included representatives from native groups (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 57). +Central is a return to the old land grant system stemming from the repartimentos of the colonial era along with judicial sovereignty. +While the repartimento was originally used to repress the indigenous groups, it is now used to support them: resguardos, or communally owned plots of land, are granted to communities. +The return to customary law reflects a substantial shift in indigenous identity: +no longer ruled by Western laws and discourse, communities are forced to assess the efficacy of their old judicial systems in light of the modern era. +In turn communal identity can be formed around a language; it is used as the focal point around which the group gathers. +The oral nature of jurisprudence directly conflicts with the desire of the Colombian government to codify law, and questions of human rights violations are common as punishments are often corporal in nature (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 57-58). +The Colombian constitution stands in stark contrast to the failure of the Guatemalan indigenous rights referendum of 1999. +Mayans gained formal recognition in 1995 as the majority population in a precursor to the 1996 peace accord; by 1999 its government floated a referendum on an indigenous bill of rights resembling that codified in the Colombian constitution (Warren 2002: 157-158). +IT AUTHORIZES YOU TO START ENJOYING AMC’S OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IMMEDIATELY! +Our mission is great +With our volunteers, we maintain 1,400 miles of trails. +We provide overnight shelters (including the famous AMC Mountain Huts) to more than 80,000 hikers annually. +We built our first hut more than 100 years ago in New Hampshire’s northern Presidential Range, and we helped protect the White Mountains so that they are still open to you now. +And we offer the same hospitality atop beautiful Mt.

HawkNew York, NY 10128President/CEO www.aspca.org +As a person who cares about animals, you’re probably anxious to know what happened to Astro. +A neighbor reported Astro’s plight to the ASPCA and our Humane Law Enforcement officers went to investigate. +When our officers arrived, Astro was too weak to even stand up. +The officers knelt down slowly, speaking gently to the emaciated dog. +Then they saw it. +He was barely moving. +but yes -- the poor, sick dog was saying. +“Welcome, friends!” +The officers brought Astro to the ASPCA’s Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. +The dog weighted only 45 pounds -- less than half of what a dog his size should weigh -- and he had several infections. +But with first-rate medical attention and tender care from ASPCA staff, he slowly got well again. +Stories like Astro’s are all too common. +Every day, the ASPCA gets reports of animal cruelty, abuse, and neglect. +Every day, our officers rescue animals like Sammy, a 10-month-old kitten who was deliberately thrown from a high-rise window by teenagers. +In a world where cruelty is common, animals like Sammy and Astro desperately need friends like you. +That is why I have written to you -- to ask you to support the ASPCA today. +Our vital anti-cruelty efforts are just part of the ASPCA mission. We also find loving adoptive homes for rescued animals ... provide first-rate veterinary care through our Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital ... offer low-cost spay and neuter programs for cats and dogs ... reach out to children, teachers, and parents through our Education Programs. +His belly was empty. +So empty it hurt. +The ASPCA pushes for the passage and strengthening of anti-cruelty laws, so that crimes against animals will be treated with the seriousness they deserve. +Since the ASPCA was founded in 1866 as America’ s first humane society, ending cruelty has been our primary goal. +Today, over 130 years later, the scope of the problem is greater than ever. +The task is too large for the ASPCA to handle without emergency assistance from dedicated friends. +THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS +Please help the ASPCA with your most generous gift today -- the animals are counting on you. +Sincerely, Hawk, DVM and CEO +But then the puddle dried up. +P.S.We found Astro a wonderful adoptive home. +He is the pride and joy of this loving family!

+But today’s battle is one we must win ... to block a dangerous experiment that would begin to erase 50 years of steady progress eliminating pesticides and other harmful chemicals from our environment. +That’s why I hope you’ll also agree to help even more by making a tax-deductible gift to support this crucial initiative and all of Audubon’s vital conservation work to protect birds, other wildlife and habitat. +And who plans to commit such a mass bird killing? +And with a donation of $15 or more, you’ll receive a FREE Birdfeeder in appreciation for your concern. +I’ll make sure your gift is put right to work in our efforts to: +·Win a ban on the USDA bird poisoning. +·Gain strict enforcement of wildlife laws. +·Ensure wildlife programs are based on sound science. +·Monitor the health of Audubon’s WatchList species. +·Conserve America’s remaining grassland habitat. +And Audubon will draw upon its century-long track record of highly effective conservation work to make a real difference in other key areas: +The U.S. Department of Agriculture! +Audubon protects birds. +Your help will be instrumental to our bird conservation work: designating Important Bird Areas to protect vital habitat ... maintaining the WatchList of bird species near endangered status (www.audubon.org/ bird/watch) ... and engaging citizen participation in the vast BirdSource database of North American bird trends. +Audubon rescues endangered wildlife. +Nearly 25 years ago, the National Audubon Society helped win passage of the Endangered Species Act. +With your help, Audubon will remain committed to wildlife laws and regulations that are well funded, properly implemented, and strongly enforced. +Audubon establishes and protects wildlife refuges and sanctuaries. +“Audubon is truly making a difference for wildlife refuges everywhere” +And your support will help sustain our innovative Audubon Refuge Keepers program, and maintain our own network of more than 100 wildlife centers and sanctuaries. +I’m outraged ... +Audubon restores wetlands. +Wetlands are not only crucial to wildlife ... they also help purify our drinking water and prevent billions of dollars worth of flood damage. +Your gift today will help us reach our goal to restore one million acres of irreplaceable wetlands. +Audubon educates the public. +Teaching Americans --particularly young people -- how to become better stewards of our environment is one of the best investments that you and I can make for wildlife. +That’s why we’re expanding our network of Audubon Centers to reach children and adults in every corner of the nation. +And of course, your support will enable Audubon to stand ready to act whenever a wildlife crisis emerges --like the USDA’s bird poisoning proposal that I’m asking you to help us defeat today! +So let me urge you to do your part by supporting a group that the San Francisco Chronicle calls “one of America’s most respected and influential conservation organizations. +First,sign and return your Petition to the Secretary of Agriculture immediately, to declare a firm and resounding “NO!” +“NO!” +to the USDA’s bird poisoning plan. +And I also hope you’ll take a second important step today, by supporting Audubon’s vital conservation work with a generous tax-deductible gift. +Thank you. +Very truly yours, +John Flicker President +P.S.Your gift will help us save birds, other wildlife and their habitat for future generations to cherish. +and I think you will be, too!

Take it through analysis, if there is some benefit in it for you." +Take it through analysis, if there is some benefit in it for you." +Religion, he said, is like a drugstore full of medicine. +You do not go to the drugstore and buy everything in it--you just buy what would be beneficial to you now. +You believe the other medicine may have just as much value, but in other situations, not this one. +When we talked about the giving, and how one should try to give what one could to other sentient beings (in the form of material items, kind words, protection, and so on), Khenpo Kalsang shared a story of the Buddha, and how the Buddha had given his flesh so that a family of hungry tigers could eat. +The gentle wind makes them flutter. +"So," +"Giving one's life for another being is the ultimate gift?" +Khenpo Kalsang, he smiled, and shook his head. +"Only if you feel no regret," +"Only if you feel no regret," he said. +Tibetan Buddhist Retreat +Orange-gold light filters into the grassy meadow, touching a row of canvas tents and the temple house beyond. +"If you feel regret, it destroys the merit." +Until then, preserve your own life, and do not give away anything that would cause you regret. +This struck a chord. +She had studied psychology for a while in grad school, but now holds the view that psychologists are going about understanding the mind and understanding the knower and what knowing is the wrong way. +"Psychologists," she said, "study the brain and the self externally. +"study the brain and the self externally. Ever since the 1920s, their science has been about observation of behavior, questionnaires, recordings of electrical brain activity. But the mind can only be known by you, the person whose mind it is." +But the mind can only be known by you, the person whose mind it is." +A big overlap exists between Tibetan Buddhism, psychology and cognitive science. +All three examine the distinction between the self and others, between the observer and the observed, between knowing and the knower. +Tsechen Kunchab Ling : Temple of All-Encompassing Great Compassion. +Tibetan Buddhist philosophy also approaches the mind and the self from the inside. +During a second philsophy session, Khenpo Kalsang translated a sutra about a king who received advice from the Buddha. +This sutra delved into some questions about the nature of the self, whether the self is a delusion, and how the clinging of self is a defilement. +I intend to discuss it in more depth later, so stay tuned. +This is the seat of His Holiness the Sakya Trizin in the United States, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery established nine years ago. +Compassion training and prayer flags +In the afternoon, a group of us gathered outside for a meditation session with Ani Kunga. +Sunshine melted lazily through the tree branches above, a breeze animating the branches' shadows so they danced between our cushions. +Compassion and anger were the session's topics. +The key message: +"If there's something you can do, why are you unhappy? +"If there's something you can do, why are you unhappy? Just do it. If there's nothing you can do, why are you unhappy?" +Just do it. +If there's nothing you can do, why are you unhappy?" +Ani Kunga explained several off-session and one on-session technique for dealing with negative emotions (anger, hate, irritation, stress, jealousy, and so on). +All the methods built off the idea that you are in control: anger is an emotion, and you can change your emotions. +Stay tuned for a more in-depth post on the topic. +"Prayers, wishes, hopes, aspirations--someone, many people, may share those with you. Hanging the prayer flag shares your prayer with everyone else in the world. This may do no good at all, but it may--if everyone hopes and wishes and dreams and aspires, perhaps it will do good. It may not. But if no one shares their prayers, it will certainly do no good.

this semester, one of my friends told me she was going: I should join her! +I like learning new things, so I signed up. +They suggested that what you believe about self-control affects the goals you set and achieve [PDF]. +I'm not one to make New Year's resolutions. +In the paper, "self-control" is used to mean a sense of willpower. +"self-control" +Mukhopadhyay & Venkatarmani discuss various lay theories of self-control, noting that the amount of self-control a person has can be seen as either an inherently limited or unlimited resource, and that this resource can be seen either as malleable or as fixed (the amount of self-control a person has can change over time, or not). +I mean, sure, I could take my pick of popular New Year's resolutions ; I could decide, on the first day of the new year, that this year, I'll start exercising more and eating better, or that I'll spend more time with my family and friends, or that I'll learn a new skill. +An important premise to note here is the idea that the probability of choosing a goal or making a resolution increases if a person thinks that goal can be attained. +So if you think you'll be able to achieve a goal, you're more likely to set it. +Combine this with theories of self-control, and in general, if you believe you have unlimited stores of self-control, you'll set a larger number of goals. +If you believe self-control is malleable but limited, you'll set fewer goals. +Mukhopadhyay & Venkatarmani also discuss self-efficacy: belief in one's capabilities, the perceived ability to carry out a desired action. +Self-control, Self-efficacy, and New Year's Resolutions Unresolved +The studies +In the first study, 85 participants (all college students) each read one of four passages presenting lay theories of self-control. +Each passage contained two paragraphs; the first discussed self-control either as limited or as unlimited, and the second discussed self-control as either malleable or fixed. +The participants then answered questions about their belief in each of two theories presented, followed by a second questionnaire to assess motivation, in which they listed all their current goals. +The study was testing whether a belief in unlimited, malleable self-control would result in most resolutions, and indeed, this is what was found. +The experimenters had some concerns about participants' natural beliefs in relation to the passages they read, however, so in study two, the order of the two measures (lay theories and motivation/goal listing) was varied. +Data from 130 new participants revealed that, as hypothesized, if the motivation & goals questionnaire were assessed first, then among the people who believed self-control is malleable, those who also believed self-control to be unlimited (vs. +limited) set more goals. +When lay theories were assessed first, this result reversed. +The people who believed that self-control is fixed were unaffected by order. +The third study moved on to examine goal achievement, adding a measure to look at self-efficacy. +The study had two sessions, in November then February. +In the first session , the 159 participants read passages about lay theories (much like in study one, but with longer passages to strengthen the manipulation), listed the resolutions they were planning on making at New Years, rated how disappointed they would be if they failed to keep their resolutions, and filled out individual difference measures (which included a self-efficacy scale). +And if I chose to make resolutions, I'd be far from alone--a 2008 survey on Dorthy.com found that 66% of the 2000+ adults polled had made resolutions at some point (though only 17% managed to keep them). +Only 86 participants successfully returned for the second session, during which they indicated how much success they had had at keeping their resolutions. +What does this mean for your resolutions? +The resolutions made by participants across all conditions were qualitatively similar (take a look at any list of popular New Year's resolutions, and you'll see the majority of the goals). +As shown in the first two studies, more goals were set by people who believe self-control is unlimited and malleable than by any other people--that is, if you expect more success, you may increase the difficulty and number of tasks that you set for yourself. +Self-efficacy did not have a significant effect on goal-setting. +As far as success goes, only the interaction between lay theory and self-efficacy was significant. +If participants believed in limited self-control and were low in self-efficacy, they tended to give up more often, failing to achieve their goals. +But if participants believed in unlimited self-control, self-efficacy had no effect; participants achieved just as many goals regardless, and people who set more resolutions were marginally more likely to succeed. +Mukhopadhyay & Venkatarmani realize that their research does not directly look at the relationship between lay theories of self-control and beliefs about one's own amount of self-control and self-efficacy, and propose this as an area for future study. +But in general, lay theories about self-control can determine how much success you'll expect (and thus, how many goals you'll set), and self-efficacy beliefs can determine how much success you'll actually have. +References +Mukhopadhyay, A. & Johar, G.V.

Chad said. +You suck. +He looked around, trying not to seem nervous. +Chad checked the other fort out of the corner of his eye. +He wished Roy wouldn't fall for that gag every time, "get me a big rock, Roy." +Two forts stood on the playground, and a hot, bare battlefield separated them. +A massive, rusted A-frame swing marked the border though nobody was swinging in the hot sun. +The larger of the two forts was a squat black bunker made of tires, two big tractor tires capped with one from a truck and two smaller ones from cars. +The older boys lay around in shade and napped inside the walls. +They were watching now from well defended spy holes, or maybe they were performing secret experiments and swearing bloody oaths. +Chad wished he were old enough to be one of them. +Maybe Tucker would let him in after he saw Chad wasn't chicken. +"You wanna play robots?" Roy asked. +You wanna play robots? +Chad felt his heart beat a little faster and his cheeks burned. +He had invented the "robots" game to make fun of Roy, but Roy had never figured that out either. +Roy stooped to pick up a big, white caliche rock that looked like a dirty lump of chalk and handed it to Chad. +It was Roy's favorite game. +No, go get some stickers. +Roy shuffled off without argument, his baseball cap pulled low to cover his bald head and brain plug and his shoe laces untied. +Roy had taught him to tie his shoes when Chad was five. +He thought about gathering stickers himself. +Roy was too slow, but he didn't dare step away from his fort. +He took another careful look over his shoulder and bent to pluck a yucca spear as if that were what drew his interest. +The long blade of the yucca had a sharp tip, but the only weapons allowed according to Humpty Dumpty Nursery rules of engagement were smelly thistles or cocklebur stems covered with spiked yellow stickers. +The tiny barbs hurt, but nobody was allowed to beat you up if you just used stickers. +The hot August sun was settling toward the time that Mrs. Rayburn would bring the milk tray out of the cinder block building where the toddlers and babies were kept. +Meanwhile Roy stalked around the fence edge bending to pick cockleburs as he went. +Chad took the rock with disgust as Roy returned to staring at his shoes. +Every move Roy made since the accident was smooth and sudden and strange -- like a remote control boy. +When he saw Roy in the hospital with a shaved head and the small silver plug at the back of his noggin like a bottle cap, Chad had called him, "Remote Control Boy." +Momma had smacked Chad for saying it which hurt, and then she had cried, which was worse. +Pop had given Chad the sideways glance that promised hard labor when they made it home. +He knew it was too late to explain that he was trying to get a smile out of Roy. +Pop said, "The doctors have put something very special in Roy's brain. +The doctors have put something very special in Roy's brain. +It's something they made for soldiers and astronauts and it's going to help Roy walk and talk to us again. +Chad was six, and at eight Roy should have been teasing or ordering Chad around or something. +Pop put a hand on Roy's shoulder. +How are you feeling, Roy? +Pop spoke slowly and Chad knew that he must have been practicing this with Roy. +They all stood around while the doctor made Roy shake and jerk and moan with a sick sound. +But the thing in his head hadn't worked yet because of something having to do with the, "electric toads," which wouldn't, "sit up." +Roy didn't really start talking for days and didn't walk until a long time after that. +Now, this year, Roy was in the same grade as Chad, and it was embarrassing. +Just then Tucker Williams came climbing out of the top of the black fort like a gold headed monster. +Tucker was big, even for a third grader, and he was not quite right in a different way than Roy. +Tucker was the oldest boy in the playground, and the one who decided the rules of the game. +But since his fall the year before, Roy had been shuffling and doing what he was told. +"Time out!" +Time out!" Chad called, "We're not ready yet. +We're not ready yet. +Several more boys spewed out after him. +Roy! +Roy!" Chad called, but his voice would only whisper +He didn't want to be a crybaby, Tucker hated crybabies. +The rules of the game were that Chad had to keep everyone away from his fort and away from his tumbleweed flag. +From painful experience, he knew it wasn't going to be as easy as just pretending he was too slow or too weak to do anything. +Going down too easy would only make him mad, so Chad reached behind him to grab the five stickers he had managed to collect before the start of the game and readied himself. +The boys came in quick from all sides, knocking Chad down, but he managed to roll to his feet and get one sticker off into a boy's arm before being knocked down again. +Baby! +Tucker was standing over him with the huge tumbleweed held high in the sun. +Penis! +Chad tried to tell his arms to lift him and let him reach for the tumbleweed to prove he wasn't a baby to Tucker. +I'll make you fight. +Tucker leaned in low and his breath was sour as it blew in Chad's face. +I'm gonna take the plug out. +Then Tucker's face became serious. +From his pocket he pulled a small screwdriver, perfect for prying plugs from boy's heads. +Now Chad's legs and arms and mouth worked, and he was up and running and screaming, "Roy, go inside! Roy!" +Roy, go inside! +Roy! +He sprinted for the corner of the building around which Roy had disappeared. +The door was on that side and Mrs. Rayburn. +Just then a horrible pain stung Chad's cheek and neck and ear. +The tumbleweed's yellow thorned branches scratched around him as it dug into his face. +He wished he were there now, even if he did have to sit next to Roy. +He ran like only a small boy can run, but he was losing and he wished hard that he could fly. +Roy! +Chad rounded the corner grabbing the cinder block to help him turn faster just as Tucker came down again with the tumbleweed from behind, and the world slowed almost to a stop. +Roy stood with the bill of his cap down. +His head rose and his eyes focused over Chad's shoulder. +Roy held stickers in his hand like flowers, but he bent looking down and snatched something from the ground. +His hand blurred and snapped out as he stood back up. +Something whined as it spun past Chad's ear, and he heard a sharp, meaty thunk just behind him. +The rock was too big to fit into the iron hub of the big cable spool, so Chad leaned it against the tumbleweed and slid down off the splintery wood on his belly to admire his handiwork. +Hey, Roy? +Tucker towered there with a surprised expression and crossed eyes, the tumbleweed in one hand and the screwdriver held up high in the other ready to stab down into Chad's back. +A sharp, flat, flint rock split Tucker's forehead and was buried deep and solid like a part of a Halloween costume complete with a drop of blood just starting down toward his nose. +Tucker dropped down like a jacket from a hook. +Yeah. +Chad stepped back away from Tucker's open-eyed face. +I thought he might stab you. +Do you think he's dead? +Just then Tucker blinked and began to sob. +"Nah." Chad said, "We're gonna be in trouble." +Nah. +We're gonna be in trouble. +"Yeah." Roy said. +Yeah. +Suddenly his blank face seemed like the face of a Play Force Soldier or a GI Joe. +Hey, Roy? +What? +It was all right. +The fort was a lone, wooden cable spool like a tall barrel with thick disks on its ends, each the size of a dinner table. +The sufferer says no, only those which cause no pain. +And the artist says no, only those which cause the most pain, for those would be the truest memories. +So I shall soothe my quarreling selves with a compromise. +I will not talk of the first time Tasha and I tried any act of sex or sport together. +I can remember similar things with others. +Is that love? +Probably not. +But it is something marvelous and rare, which is surely a sign of love. +If my love for her was the only important thing, I would leave a holo of her with a note: "Dear Future, this is Tasha Cortez. +"Dear Future, this is Tasha Cortez. +You loved her. +Tasha and I walked through The Sleeping Flamingo together, and I decided to buy it. +Mama kept her mink jacket, a family hand-me-down, safe from time in a stopbox, and lent the capturador to my uncle for his stamp collection. +Then -- +This is not easy. +But I have learned something: writing trivializes. +The Tasha who was is not the Tasha in this file. +The Tasha in this file is not even the Tasha I loved and thought I knew. +The Tasha in this file would walk through a net show in half an hour, including commercials, and just before an ad for Figuero's Flash Diapers -- Keeps Baby Driest! +, she -- +Tasha is not the whole of what happened on Vega IV. +I must also write about Emiliano Gabriel Malaquez. +I have been re-reading all our favorite books -- +Published in Double Feature by Emma Bull and Will Shetterly (NESFA Press, 1994). +But neither of us care to dwell on such boring subjects, do we? +I want to pick up with Tasha and me walking about The Sleeping Flamingo, and then, for the sake of literary convenience, to say that from a corner of the yard I saw a neighboring house, and the sight filled me with darkest forebodings. +But the truth is that Tasha pointed it out from the one place where it could barely be seen, and I only felt envy that it had been designed by someone with understated good taste. +"Who lives there?" +I asked. +"No one," +"No one," Tasha replied. +Sometimes they would let us little ones to seal a treasured toy or a last piece of birthday cake until we begged them for its release, usually a few hours after enclosing it. +Truth is always more boring than fiction. +For Malaquez did not move into Dream's End until four or five months after I -- we? +how does one speak to one's future self? +-- occupied The Flamingo. +I do not plan to write a book: this narrative must move more quickly. +Consoling her, I began to suspect I loved her. +I moved into The Flamingo the next day; and she gave up her apartment three weeks later to join me. +It was the sort of romance that happens so rarely that most people believe it does not happen at all, the sort of romance that sustains the hopeless billions who regularly watch A Wandering Star Called Love. +(Which is to say, you and me, Future Self.) +She was a twenty-four-year-old (Terran Standard) N'Apulcan who left university training in hydroponics to work for her aunt's real estate firm. +Her family said she did it to support her father, who was dying of a particularly painful degenerative disease. +Tasha said she woke up one morning convinced that if she spent another day studying vegetables, she would become one. +She did not like my plays. +I had impressed her because I was famous and amusing and not, as I had hoped, because I was a great artist. +That bothered (yes, and intrigued) me until I realized that she was bored by most plays, movies, and vid. +She did not like being a spectator. +I often told her that she should have a bio-check to see if she suffered from some metabolic imbalance. +I often told her too many things. +Search "Emiliano Malaquez" and you'll find he's a master of the "captured moment" school of sculpture. +Even The Terran Times has only praise for his work. +When my father died, a year after my mother, my sisters and I cleaned out their apartment. +To compare his pieces to those of others is to compare mannequins to living models. +He accents the illusion of reality --I paraphrase his entry in La Enciclopedia Humanica --by doing life-size scenes in "the full round," never the easier frontal or three-quarters view. +Moreover, he never did portraits of famous people; his works were therefore the reality and could never be compared to it. +As is typical of his school, his pieces are sealed in stopboxes. +The shimmer of light on their surfaces always reminds us that we're looking at an instant snatched from under the hooves of time. +They say the cubes will outlast planets and suns, that when the universe dies, the works of Malaquez and his followers will be the last things seen in the final wink of God's eye. +Yes, Self, I am also bothered that this observation ignores half-eaten cheese sandwiches, incomplete insect collections, and locks of infants' hair, forgotten in closets, basements, and warehouses. +We found our baby shoes protected in stopboxes. +You see the inspiration for my latest play, "Captured Moments." +The mindwipe will take its creation from my future self --but time too often does that without aid. +The play's second act concludes with the last fight between Tasha and me. +I have disguised us in the play, and deleted one brief melodramatic interchange. +I took mine home, where they sat above my computer while I worked on my first play. +Now I will mention it, in case I/You decide to restore it. +Shortly before she left, Tasha said, "You steal from life for art, Bernardo. +You'll impoverish yourself." +I only snarled at her and -- +My story leaps ahead of itself. +Let me retreat and retrench: +One night during N'apulco's mild winter, Tasha returned to The Flamingo, saying, "Nardo! +"Nardo! +Nardo! +Guess what?" +My mind was on other things. +"You wish to become pregnant? +I suppose I could assist a friend. +Purely for the sake of the race, of course --" +"Ever the altruist. +"My guess." +She batted at my nose like a cat. +"Silly Nardo." +"Emil Malaquez is buying the house up the hill." +One night when I did not believe love had ever existed for anyone, I used my own capturador, a sleek titanium Sanyo Tardar Ahora, to undo the stopbox. +"Oh." +"You don't know who he is?" +"Well..." +"Nardo!" +One of the many things I liked about her was that she often thought me shockingly ignorant. +"That's, uh..." +I am never so quick-witted in person as I am on the page. +Especially when someone thinks me shockingly ignorant. +"You know, the sculptor. +He's had shows in Brazil and New Madrid and everywhere! +He may be more famous than you." +"Imagine that." +I remembered an article in The Medusa and a photo of a work in which 100-peso notes fell like confetti onto a small Undersider, sexlessly young in grimy, oversized clothing. +The child's face was a warground for wonder and mistrust. +Imprisoned light from forgotten streetlamps snagged itself on metal threads in the fluttering pesos. +The stars themselves might have fallen on the Undersider and the event would have been no less strange, no less miraculous. +"A great artist will grace this world, then?" +"Nardo!" +She was never tolerant of my ego. +"Well. +What's this more-famous-than-me person like?" +"I didn't meet him, jealous old one." +"Too bad. +If I thought he could free me from you --" +"Hah!" +She wrapped her arms around my stomach. +The next evening, she arrived with a stack of glistening stopboxes containing sushi, sashimi, oysters in their shells, and Terran vegetables fresh plucked from their hydroponic beds. +Wondering about the reason for her extravagance, I asked how work had gone that day. +Bringing my face close to the shoes, I breathed deeply of air that my parents had trapped while closing up that symbol of their love for me. +"Emil came in. +He's taking Dream's End." +"Emil?" +"You've no memory left, old one. +Emil Malaquez." +"Ah. +You did that to test my affections." +"What?" +"Calling him by his first name. +I did that in a comedy once. +'Nights with Karl and Groucho.' +It was before your time." +"Oh." +"The critics liked it." +"I'm glad." +A moment later: "That's not why I called him 'Emil'." +"That's not why I called him 'Emil'." +"No?" +"No. +We lunched together. +He's nice." +"Oh." +"It wasn't like that." +"Of course. +Still, it wasn't like that. +You think I sleep with every famous person I meet?" +As you may have guessed, we had talked about such things. +I do not claim ours was a perfect affair, only a wonderful one. +"Tasha --" +"No." +"Good. +I invited him to dinner tomorrow." +"Oh?" +You say we're becoming too insular, that we need to socialize --" +"I've socialized for sixty-three years." +"Nardo?" +"Yes?" +"How should I reply?" +Her voice had grown quiet, and I began to feel some guilt. +I had, it is true, told her that we needed other company than our own. +I said this from years of learning that romances consume themselves without other fuel. +But knowing this did not mean I wanted it. +I said, "Truthfully." +"Truthfully." +It was the statement of a younger and crueler man than I. +She screamed, "I haven't socialized with Terra's elite for most of my life! +The instant would have been improved had my baby shoes been cleaned before they were encased. +I haven't socialized with hardly anyone for hardly any of my life! +And I invite a neighbor, one nice, lonely man --" +"I'm sorry." +" --who took me to -- What?" +"I'm sorry. +Truly." +"Oh." +She studied me as a suspicious puppy might, then said, "I'm sorry, too." +"I suppose I sound like I'm bragging when I talk of the things I'm tired of." +"Only because you are." +I had to grin, so I did. +"True." +"He may come to dinner?" +"If you wish, he may be dinner." +"I love you." +"And I, you." +Months earlier, we might have sought a bed, a couch, or a comfortable chair at this point. +Instead, I asked, "Is he handsome?" +"Is he handsome?" +"You're jealous." +"A tiny bit. +Extremely." +"Content yourself, old one. +He's four inches shorter than I, his nose is big and broken, and --" +But as soon as I coughed, I laughed, and I did not try to kill myself that night. +"This is cosmetic?" +"He's not that ugly. +I think they're his natural features." +"Interesting." +"You could write a play about someone like him." +"I think his face is his form of vanity. +Old men should be fat." +"Is Emil?" +"Yes." +"I am jealous. +I'll eat two dinners tonight. +Five deserts." +She giggled. +And then we did make love. +I've been thinking about the mindwipe, now two days away. +Who said that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it? +I fear that may be true for me. +Add this to the reasons I write now: to remember something, perhaps even to learn -- +This work is hereby released into the Public Domain. +Emil Malaquez arrived after sundown, carrying a small package wrapped in what looked like real paper. +His evening dress was formal, expensive, and slightly stained, as that of all forgetful artists should be. +He was a jovial man with an easy laugh, and even uglier than Tasha had suggested. +I liked him immediately. +"Señor Malaquez?" +"Please. +Call me Emil. +You must be Bernardo. +Let me begin again. +"All of it outrageous praise?" +He raised an eyebrow, then guffawed. +"Has she said as much about me?" +"She thinks you are a genius. +Do come in." +"Thank you." +Stepping into the living room, he said, "A beautiful house." +"A beautiful house." +"I'm glad you came after dark." +Tasha, by accident or design, had found an innocently erotic posture on the couch, where she lay with a book of M'duvian prints. +"Emil!" +She leapt up. +"I did not expect you --" +"So early?" +It's unforgiveable, but you're forgiven." +She nodded at the package. +"What's that?" +"For your kindness in inviting a stranger into your home." +"Oh!" +Tasha snatched it from him to rip away the paper. +I stopped writing, and only the thought that I might miss the mindwipe kept me from another spree. +I walked from this hotel to the old city, past the end of the slidewalks and softwalks to the hard, cracked pavement of City Park. +But Undersiders left me alone. +Perhaps they recognized a fellow ghost. +The side of Malaquez's parcel gave way to reveal a greenmunk caught in a sheen of solid air. +Bits of leaf mold flew from under his feet as he ran to greet a friend or a bringer of food. +Last year, I rented a small house on Vega IV, a sea world, all islands and reefs and archipelagos, turquoise waters and aquamarine skies, sunrises like symphonies and sunsets like stars gone supernova. +Tasha oohed in awe. +I said, "Frodo's been visiting you, eh?" +"Frodo's been visiting you, eh?" +Malaquez said, "Your pet?" +"Your pet?" +"Hardly. +I suppose he was attracted to the commotion up the hill." +"Ah," +"Ah," Malaquez said. +"Why 'Frodo'?" +"A little fellow with big, furry feet. +She handed the sculpture to me. +I almost dropped it; I expected it to weigh no more than a holo. +"Heavy," +"Heavy," I said, as if he might not have known. +He laughed. +"My last piece was of four old Undersiders crouched around a trash fire. +He spoke of his art with the enthusiasm of a seven-year-old. +"A confession, and then a request. +It's not easy for me to ask a favor." +"Relax," +"Relax," I said. +"It's easy for me to turn one down." +He glanced at me and decided I was joking. +The surprising thing is that I was. +"Good. +My last show --" +" --was glorious!" +Tasha said. +" --was kindly received," +" --was kindly received," he said. +"But an artist who would stay first among his fellows can tell when he begins to fail." +I hoped no one would bring up my last three plays. +"I must change my subject matter. +No more urchins, dopers, vagrants, or whores. +I want to do more traditional portraits." +He spoke quickly, prepared to be rejected. +I would pay --" +"Never," I said. +"Ah." +He shrugged lightly. +"Nardo!" +"It's an honor --" +"Of course," +"Of course," I said. +"That's why I cannot take payment." +"Oh? +Oh! +Thank you!" +Malaquez turned to Tasha. +"And you as well? +Perhaps the two of you together?" +Her eyes became circles at the idea of being, as she undoubtedly thought it, immortalized by Emil Malaquez. +There's only one city: called Nuevo Acapulco in La Enciclopedia del Empirio de la Humanidad, it's N'apulco to the locals. +Catching herself, she said casually, "Oh..." And then she smiled, laughed loudly at herself in the way that always made me think how much I loved her, and said, "My God, yes, yes, yes!" +"Oh..." +"My God, yes, yes, yes!" +For a perfect moment, Emil and Tasha and I were one entity, laughing until our lungs hurt. +This is torture. +I had not considered that I might not write to learn, but to punish myself. +Let me abuse the playwright and dismiss the penultimate scene in a few sentences: After giving Emil full rights to a sculpture of Tasha and me, we had a good dinner of curried clam chowder, lobsters boiled on Terra and unstopped still steaming on N'Apulco, and cinnamon custard for desert. +To view a copy of the public domain dedication, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 559 Nathan Abbott Way, Stanford, California 94305, USA. +I had drunk too much, I confess, though we all had. +Somehow, Tasha and I began to argue the worth of Solevgrad jazz, as inconsequential a topic as I can imagine. +She had studied it in school, so she thought herself as an expert. +I once had a neighbor who played it constantly, loudly, and badly, so I thought I knew it better. +Malaquez tried to mediate, but I saw him as siding with Tasha. +So, I think, did she. +The subject shifted from music to Tasha's obsession with fame, undoubtedly by a leap that I made. +She had no choice but to follow. +(I do not remember any of this well, just now, nor do I care to. +The N'apulcans are mostly emigrants from Polaris II; the only difference between them and their Carribbean ancestors is that the ancestors fleeced NorAm tourists. +Those who are truly curious may look at the last act of "Captured Moments." +) I remember suggesting, with characteristic tact, that she add Emil to her small list of major accomplishments. +Malaquez glanced away, embarrassed. +Tasha looked at me as if to say, "I will." +"I will." +She said, "I feel sorry for you, Nardo. +"I feel sorry for you, Nardo. +"Yes," +"Yes," I said, "Do that," and did not care what she did, or why. +"Do that," +Emil asked, "You're all right?" +"You're all right?" +I muttered something he must have interpreted as assent. +They both walked up to Emil's home while I watched the scarlet moonlight ripple on distant waves. +Disgusted with Tasha but more disgusted with myself, I finally realized she would not return that night and went into The Sleeping Flamingo to drink myself to sleep. +She had not come home when I woke in mid-morning. +I waited, and drank a glass of MorningAfter and three cups of coffee, and wondered whether our affair could survive the events of the night, and whether I wanted it to. +Perhaps I should have invited Emil to stay, but even then I knew that sex was not the problem between Tasha and me. +The problem was that I have trouble distinguishing between compromise and capitulation, between symbols and substance. +Shortly before noon, I climbed the sandy path to Dream's End, rehearsing my apology, slowing only to pluck burrs from between my sandals and my feet. +Malaquez answered the door in blood-red pajamas and a black silk robe. +Sixty years ago in a similar situation, I had broken my knuckles on someone's face. +I merely said, "Is Tasha here?" +"Is Tasha here?" +Now the N'apulcans profit from their Hispanic siblings. +He pursed his lips slightly, then nodded. +"Yes." +"May I see her?" +When he hesitated, I said, "Last night was my fault. +"Last night was my fault. +I hold it against neither of you. +Let me talk to her." +"I --" +"Please." +He looked me and at last said, "Very well." +"Very well." +We walked through his house in silence. +A tall, narrow stopbox stood in the center of one room; sand trickled forever downward while beads of water splashed across the sand's path. +But then, I was in no mood to consider art. +I only wanted to despise the man who had slept with my lover. +That was easier than despising myself. +I don't mean to sound cynical. +He paused before a bedroom door. +"I should go in first. +I smiled. +Go ahead. +Tell her..." +I shrugged. +"Tell her I love her." +I suppose I wish to show that I'm still capable of a certain authorial distance, a semblance of dispassionate observation. +He studied me, then said, "I'm sorry things happened this way, Bernardo. +"I'm sorry things happened this way, Bernardo. +I didn't anticipate last night --" +"I'm very good at making things happen this way. +But if Tasha will forgive me --" +He nodded, repeated, "I am sorry," then slipped into the next room. +"I am sorry," +I waited in the dark, carpeted hall. +I heard no voices until Malaquez said, "Enter." +"Enter." +Sunlight filled Malaquez's bedroom. +Tasha lay sprawled nude on a rumpled bed. +Her skin seemed as smooth and as polished as the bed's teak frame. +She was looking slightly to my left, smiling with trust and satisfaction like one sexually content. +Malaquez stood near her, pointing something at my chest. +Though the morning sun shone fully on both of them, it shimmered around Tasha. +The part of my mind that remembered four months in NorAm during the Great Cleaning sent me rolling across the floor. +Malaquez was not prepared for me to react so quickly, or perhaps he waited too long for an expression I would not have, a gesture I would not make, a poignant moment of repentence, wonder, despair, or love. +The following events may indicate otherwise. +Had he been faster, he could have had rage. +I threw a chair at him. +As he fell, I scrambled onto him, my knees pinning his arms, my fingers probing his neck. +"Where is she? +Tell me, or I'll kill --" +He began to cry. +"She left. +Earlier this morning --" +Her clothes lay by the cube enclosing the bed. +I hit him with the back of my hand. +"Tell me, Malaquez." +"She wanted to be famous. +She did! +He seemed to expect me to understand. +"Where!" +I demanded, squeezing his throat until he began jerking his head madly at the sculpture. +I stared at the naked Tasha. +Most of his story I have pieced together since, but I understood enough as I knelt on his chest with my hands tight on his fleshy throat. +He had made his name with a home capturador. +He began with small animals and moved on to derelicts and Undersiders, people who would never be missed. +Now he had thought to use vacationers like Tasha and me, and when someone came looking, he would say we had gone island-hopping in our windboat. +Our boat would disappear into the ocean to be found or not as the wind and tides chose. +Mine was The Sleeping Flamingo, and its outer walls were coral pink. +His story would stand in either case. +I wanted him to tell me more, but he babbled, begging me to forgive him, to understand. +I did not listen. +I think I was wondering what it meant to say that a thing was art, so we accepted it as art. +Or perhaps I was thinking about the things that humanity made that would outlive our species. +But I was probably only looking at my reflection in the capturador's lens. +Had he said then that I should use it on myself, I might have. +That moment passed. +I looked at Malaquez. +Were they mood-sensitive, they would have changed as I first viewed them. +His lips contorted as if they had lost their ability to shape sound. +I turned to touch the cube that was Tasha's crypt. +She smiled in trust or pleasure or pride, an erotic Mona Lisa who would smile forever, and I could never know why. +I could free Tasha. +If I did, one of three things would happen. +Most likely: she would be meat --there is a reason why stopboxes are most often used in kitchens. +Less likely: she would live the rest of her days with a mind as free of worry as a slug's. +And the tiniest chance of all: she would blink as if I had just materialized in Emil's bedroom, and then she would laugh and tell me that she was going to be immortal. +As I put my hand on the impervious surface of Tasha's stopbox, I heard Malaquez run for the door. +It is strange to know that we can do acts of unrepayable kindness to those we should hate. +Know this, my future self: Thanks to us, Emil Malaquez's name will live as long as his masterpiece, "A Self-Portrait: Anguish," endures. +And Tasha? +I could say that I did not dare to take responsibility for her fate. +I could say that I chose out of consideration for her desire for fame; some critics already say "Waking With Tasha" is Malaquez's finest work. +If science finds a way to safely free the subjects of Emil's art, perhaps the I who reads this file will know that my decision is wise. +But I cannot stop thinking that I was never afraid of losing Tasha to brain damage or death. +My fear is that she would live, and I would learn that I had lost her long before Emil Malaquez translated her into a thing that can be kept, admired, and loved. +For in my way, I have done the same thing. +She said, "It's beautiful, isn't it, Señor Flynn?" +I am ready for the mindwipe now. +"It's beautiful, isn't it, Señor Flynn?" +But she was young and attractive (as I have said and may say again) and eager and so happy to be assisting the infamous Bernardo Flynn that I merely raised an eyebrow in mild scepticism. +And then, because a playwright cannot resist a promising line, I said, "Your Sleeping Flamingo should be put to sleep." +"Your Sleeping Flamingo should be put to sleep." +To say her face fell would do a disservice to Tasha and to literature. +(Allow me my self-indulgences as you would those of a dying man -- when I convince my mindsmith to permit the wipe, there will be another Bernardo Flynn, one who knows no more of Tasha Cortez or Vega IV than he reads here.) +Her brows drew together, creasing the lovely, caramel-colored skin around her eyes and showing the pattern for an old woman's wrinkles on her forehead. +Her lower lip (a trifle too narrow for her face, perhaps her only physical flaw) thrust forward slightly as she started to speak. +She caught herself, slid her jaw infinitesimally back into place, and said, "You don't like it?" +"You don't like it?" +I laughed. +I clapped her shoulder to show I was not laughing at her. +"Like it? +I hate it, despise it, abhor it! +It's gaudy, graceless, pretentious -- That house is an affront to taste and intelligence. +I should buy it to raze it, but I am not so kind-hearted. +I might, however, rent it." +Captured Moments +I think she only heard the last words of my speech. +"You will?" +"It amuses me. +Show me around, and then I shall decide." +"Of course, Señor Flynn." +"And stop calling me 'señor'. +Not even Los Mundos is so polite. +"If you wish." +"I beg you, change the color of the walls, at the very least." +"But of course!" +I stared. +"How's that?" +I looked at her. +"Worse?" +I remember Papa's stopbox, a teal blue Tiempo Capturado that Mama brought home for his birthday. +I nodded. +"I would not have thought it possible." +She frowned. +"It is rather ugly." +"Thoroughly ugly," +"Thoroughly ugly," I corrected with smile. +"Obscenely ugly," +"Obscenely ugly," said she, smiling too. +"No." +I pointed. +"It has no tower." +"I can fix that." +She reached for another dial on the house controls. +"Don't you dare!" +Her wrist, when I grabbed it, was smooth and strong and warm in my fingers. +"I'll take it. +Exactly as it is." +"You will?" +"I must. +God knows what you might do to it next." +Reluctantly, I released her hand. +The interior of The Flamingo was a welcome surprise. +Cloudwood had been used in a Mediterranean manner, making the house seem primitive and civilized at the same time. +The kitchen and baths had every convenience that I desired. +From the living room, the view of the beach struck me with such intensity that Tasha asked if I felt ill. +All I could say was, "No. +I'm in love." +It was huge and inefficient, and she should never have spent so many pesos on a toy, but Papa would not let her return it. +We both thought I referred to the vista. +It's strange how one can write delightedly of the happier moments of life, forgetting the things that one would forget by remembering fully the things one would remember, and suddenly the forgotten, in revenge, rears up to savage the unwary. +So it was as I wrote the preceding. +My heart convulsed, and I left this manuscript for a three-day spree. +Apparently I was so successful that it lasted a week and a half. +Not bad for an eighty-three-year-old, even for one who has his rejuve every month. +And if I can brag and digress so easily, this must not be painful enough to merit a mindwipe, yes? +I abandoned these notes to my future self to have the wipe done immediately, thinking that Bernardo Flynn should receive such services when he needed them, even should the need arise at the third hour after midnight. +My mindsmith is not so understanding. +Captured Moments +She says I am emotionally a child, to which I reply, "Of course. +"Of course. +Why else would I come to you?" +This logic does not soothe her; she says I must wait three weeks. +Three! +. +Such is the law. +I say I do not care about law, I care about service and she should care about money. +He used it to preserve baby tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries in translucent cubes that he stored in the pantry for spring-time meals in the middle of winter. +I went on a spree, and it must have been a good one. +I hope the wipe is as successful with my time on Vega IV as my spree was with my time here. +I dimly remember three bedpartners who were probably human, and one that I hope was delirium. +I will not answer the phone for a week, no matter whose face appears on it. +I keep evading the issue. +But which issue? +The issue of why I am evading the issue, or the issue itself? +To deal with the first: it hurts to remember. +If I am capable of love, I loved Tasha Cortez. +If I am not, I had the perfect mirror for my narcissism. +As for the issue itself, I'm no longer sure what I want to record. +The playwright in me wants every scene of our time together. +The editor says no, only those that are relevant. +“can’t-miss” +Wolves can run fast — but they certainly can’t outrun airplanes. +Given the urgency of the situation in Alaska, Defenders needs your immediate assistance to help save Alaska’s wolves from same-day airborne land-and-shoot slaughter. +Support the Emergency Effort to Save Alaska’s Wolves. +Soon this wolf won’t be merely running in the snow. +Defenders hopes to raise at least $100,000 to help Alaskans For Wildlife, a coalition of Alaska citizens, win a citizens’ ballot initiative this November. +And we face very wealthy opponents. +So today, I urge you to do these two things: FIRST: Sign the enclosed Citizens’ Advisory Ballot to show our Alaska allies your strong personal support to reinstate the ban on “same-day airborne land-and-shoot” wolf killing in Alaska; SECOND: Rush an urgent donation to help put this measure on the ballot and win passage in November. +“same-day airborne land-and-shoot” +The Alaska Legislature is completely out of step with the will of Alaska’s citizens and the American public at large. +This wolf will be running for its life! +Like you, the majority of Alaskans oppose same-day land-and-shoot wolf killing. +But the anti-wolf politicians in the Alaska legislature don’t care what the majority of Alaska citizens want. +And they didn’t listen to the recommendations of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, which opposed this legislation! +They are utterly out of step with their Alaska constituents ... the state agency that manages Alaska wildlife ... and the rest of the American public! +The airplane above will be tracking her ... in order to land and immediately gun her down . +In the name of “wolf control,” wolf killers will predictably once again use aircraft to hunt wolves to the point of exhaustion, so that the wolves have, literally, no chance of survival. +“wolf control,” +And if history is any guide, over the years thousands of Alaska’s wolves will be brutally killed. +Before the 1996 ban on same-day land-and-shoot, as many as 400 wolves were killed in Alaska each year because of this barbaric and unethical practice. +Anti-wolf interests are prepared to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure that the new land-and-shoot law stands — even though most Alaskans do not support it. +ALASKA EMERGENCY +So if we don’t act right now, Alaska’s snowy tundras will once again become bloody killing fields for wolves in America’s “Last Frontier.” +Say “NO” to the barbaric practice of same-day airborne wolf killing. +“NO” +You see, the Alaska legislature passed a law that once again allows any private citizen with just a $15 trapping or $25 hunting license to track wolves by aircraft and then land and gun them down. +As I mentioned, this new same-day airborne land-and-shoot practice will start in September after the opening of hunting season and the first snow — and when wolves will be an easy target. +To repeal this unconscionable law, Defenders must help provide our friends in Alaska -- Alaskans For Wildlife — with the resources necessary to win at the polls in November. +Our well-funded opponents will spend whatever it takes to mislead and confuse voters about this ballot measure. +If Alaska’s new law is not replaced, thousands of Alaska's wolves will die in the years to come. +And it will be a major setback for wolves nationwide — at a time when the American public overwhelmingly favors wolf reintroduction and protection. +A loss will encourage those anti-wolf fanatics who want to stop wolf restoration and put bounties on those wolves already in the wild. +So, please don’t wait another minute. +Please sign your Citizens’ Advisory Ballot to demonstrate to our Alaska allies that you’re behind them; and send an urgent donation today to help them win this effort. +So how will your money be spent? +Here’s the projected budget breakdown: $35,000 — in-depth, state-wide survey conducted by a top pollster to determine voters’ positions on the ballot measure and arguments that will help persuade undecided voters. +$45,000 — salaries /office expenses for staff to oversee the effort between now and election day. +$30,000 — production of television and radio spots alerting the public to the findings of the above survey. +This cruel, unethical wolf-hunting practice is called “same-day airborne land-and-shoot.” +$100,000 — placement of voter education spots in the key media including print, radio and television. +$15,000 — election day “get-out-the-vote” drive, including phone calls to get voters to the polls. +“get-out-the-vote” +You stood by Defenders when we defeated the wealthy American Farm Bureau in court and saved the lives of the wolves in Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. +Now, I’m hoping I can count on your moral and financial support again today. +“same-day airborne land-and-shoot.” +to help save Alaska’s wolves from same-day airborne land-and-shoot killing. +Your special donation today is absolutely critical, because many of Alaska’s politicians clearly have anti-wolf agendas. +They have the financial backing of powerful special interests and the determination to ignore the will of the people of Alaska and the American public. +Please let Alaskans know that you’re behind them. +Please help save Alaska’s wolves by doing these two things: +2.

Oct, 2010 at 7:02 pm +I, too checked out a few listings for under $1,000 and was absolutely shocked at the property taxes. +A $1,000 house, which could be fixed up into maybe a $30-40,000 house comes with a tax bill of $4-6K per year! +Additionally, even if you paid cash for the house, you'd probably want to carry some homeowner's insurance with all the inherent risks to the property (arson, vandalism), and I'm sure it's sky-high, given those risks. +With houses going for $100, I thought, what would you have to lose by moving to Detroit? +And so Quiet Earp and I did some research, and came up with a list of houses selling for under a grand. +We had plenty to choose from: there were more cheap houses than we would have time to visit. +We picked two neighborhoods to cruise, and dove in. +But once we entered Detroit, the truth hit fast: this is a modern American ghost town. +The place is practically deserted. +Its streets, built wide to accommodate heavy traffic, are mostly empty. +Houses and businesses are boarded up, painted up, bombed out and falling down. +Even in the center of the business district, there's no traffic and hardly any people. +Chief among these is Detroit, Motor City. +Don't believe me? +I videotaped it: +It got worse as we drove into residential areas, looking for those cheap houses. +In fact, I've never felt so out of place in all my life . +Even in Chicago's South Side, where we counted five white people in an hour, I felt fine just driving around; not so in Detroit. +Truthfully, it wasn't about race: it was about being naive. +It was about driving down streets where we truly did not belong and were not welcome. +The longtime center of American automotive manufacturing was gutted when the Big Three car companies simultaneously failed. +They sit on the porch and watch the cars go by, watch the deals go down, watch their neighborhoods crumble. +And we, driving through slowly and reading house numbers in a late-model Honda, stuck out like a couple of thumbs. +So we sped up, and went straight to the houses. +Sometimes we stopped to take a photo, but mostly we didn't. +Earp and I have each lived happily in the wilds of West Oakland, but the danger I felt in Detroit was like nothing I'd experienced before. +I was actually afraid for my life. +The New York Times correspondent wrote that his friend Mitch's $1,900 home "had already been stripped of its appliances and wiring ... +But for Mitch that only added to its appeal, because he now had the opportunity to renovate it with solar heating, solar electricity and low-cost, high-efficiency appliances. +As for the $100 house? +It "needed some work, a hole patched, some windows replaced." +"needed some work, a hole patched, some windows replaced." +Well, I don't know what part of Detroit these folks live in, but the $100 houses I saw looked more like this: +You see, abandoned houses in this town get set on fire. +No exceptions. +Wherever we went in those neighborhoods, one in four houses had been torched. +On one corner, we saw a giant banner hung across a charred front porch. +We didn't slow down to take a photo, but I'll paraphrase: DON'T BURN HOUSES DOWN! +Except that they obviously aren't. +Buy a $100 house in Detroit, and you get a lifetime supply of sleepless nights: you'll spend the next several years waiting for burglars and arsonists, murderers and crackheads to break in the windows. +It's the Rust Belt. +Ultimately, I do believe that change will come to Detroit. +Detroit and the Myth of the $100 House | Uprooted, an eco/travel blog +There will be a green movement here ; in fact it's already being cultivated by forward-thinking groups and intrepid locals . +One day, this place will be reborn. +But right now, the NYT's story reeks of Shinola. +Anyone who takes this plunge is risking their life every day, betting on a future that may take a long time to arrive. +Long story short: Yes, you can buy a house in Detroit for $100. +Cheap real estate, that's what. +And you will get what you pay for. +Cheers to Toby Barlow , who inspired my trek to Detroit, and who believes in a happier, greener future. +May your every dream come true, sir, and your book sell fabulously. +16 Responses to "Detroit and the Myth of the $100 House" +bisnis 16.

Sep, 2009 at 10:06 am +Please track down and watch a movie called "Detroit: A City to Yourself", by Nicole MacDonald. +"Detroit: A City to Yourself" +It's full of this imagery, and talks about the 1805 fire and rebuilding, and the post-industrial devastation that's ravaged the city since. +About the pop fiction which explores the concept of a post-human world, and how it already exists now. +And about how, if you're a pheasant, that's not such a bad thing. +HOWEVER ... +There's a lot more to Detroit than that. +There are industrial spaces being turned into low-rent artist lofts and business incubators. +(Look at the Russell Industrial Complex, for one example.) +There are neighborhoods that refuse to cave. +(west of Livernois around McNichols). +There's a whole bunch of nice stuff happening along the riverfront, from downtown up towards Stroh Place. +$1,900! +And there's always Belle Isle. +Some of us (and lots of New Yorkers) pay that much in rent every month! +When friends come to Detroit, I take them there. +It's our in-the-river park, 982 acres of green space, with a zoo, a botanical garden and conservatory, rentable paddle boats, and tons of other neat stuff. +Next time you're in Detroit, please head over. +Oh, and entry is free, so it's available to anyone regardless of economic status. +You're liable to see families picnicking, bums gathering bottles and cans, geese foraging, and deer cautiously wandering the edge of the woods. +Some of that cheap real estate isn't too horrible, either. +There's a whole street being taken over by artists, Farnsworth between Moran and McDougall. +Some of the things they've done down there are amazing, and the community garden is a great bridge to the surrounding neighborhood. +In fact, the article went on, soon a nearby house went on the market for $100. +America's Rust Belt is a swath of cities and towns that boomed during the Industrial Era and now lie -- well, rusting -- as empty remainders of glory days past. +A few weeks ago, someone broke into their shed to steal their garden tools. +Think about that for a moment, hoes and shovels don't have enough pawn value to be worth carrying out. +Yes, Detroit's got more than its share of bad spots, you're right. +But there are bright spots, and behind every one of them is a person, or a bunch of people, who refuse to give up. +Jessica 19. Sep, 2009 at 10:30 am +Myself -- Thanks for the comment and the great information. +The artist types notified their buddies, who moved in post haste. +You are exactly the kind of person who gives me back the hope I lost on my way into town. +Seems there's a pretty solid group of Detroit residents who are truly committed to restoring the city, and that's beautiful to see. +Love the fact that people are stealing garden implements (though it's still sad that they need to). +I will absolutely watch A City To Yourself, thank you for the recommendation. +And when I'm in the area again, I'll go out to Belle Isle and think long&hard about the future of American cities--as I'm sure you do occasionally too. +Reader Not Writer 20. Sep, 2009 at 10:17 pm +Well, growing up not far from Detroit myself, I would point out a few things: +I was intrigued. +See, there's a wee bit of loyalty to the Big 3 and driving a foreign car doesn't really scream "solidarity" to those struggling to survive. +Really? +A $100 house? +Most of the funny looks you got were less about your color than about your ride. +You think I'm kidding, but I couldn't be more serious -- that Honda is a visceral reminder for people of how the American consumer has left Detroit in the dust. +Even if it was a real fixer-upper, even if you really were better off tearing it down than living in it, that'd still be a hell of a deal. +2. Detroit (proper) has been dying for a long time -- before the 1968 riots, even. +Its going to take some pioneering individuals to start creating those pockets of innovation, creativity, and vision. +But its not going to happen with the investment of $100 into a single house. +The next moment, Acres was there. +Hands up in the same way mine were frozen. +We just looked at each other. +I guess, thinking back, I might have expected him to gloat, but the view was the kind of thing that humbles you, shuts your mouth. +We just stood looking at each other for a little while, I don't know how long. +What is it? +he wasn't the sort you'd call "Chuck." +A place. +I don't know. +I think this whole thing," he waved his hand at the horizon, "is one big machine. +And the markers were carved later, not be whoever built it. +Safe? +I looked around. +One thing this place didn't seem was safe. +Let me show you the rest. +He started walking down the steps and around a corner. +It would have taken plenty to surprise me after what I had already seen, but My jaw was banging against my shoelaces when I rounded that corner. +'m a linguistics researcher, Ed. +I'm not sure how something so big could have been hidden by that little turn in landscape, but maybe perspective doesn't work quite the same there. +Glaring down at me from no more than twenty feet away was a grimacing, thirty foot tall black face with staring, blue and white eyes and it wore a ridiculous little hat. +For some reason I thought of a giant clown face from a carnival ride, but it scared the hell out me. +Acres stood beside it and somehow using him as a yardstick for the scale of the thing made it easier to see. +It was a moai. +This is what I wanted to show you. +I looked down and saw he was pointing to another marker just slightly different from the one we had just left. +I was pretty rattled, but things fell together for me looking at the big statue, the Hawaiian shirt and the mark on the ground. +Easter Island? +Acres nodded. +It was all too much for me so I focused on the part I could handle. +So what does this have to do with gold? +You could step on that marker and make the gestures, the 'device,' and it would be like pushing a button in a very complex machine. +You would end up on a small hill on Rapa Nui. +You could step three feet to the right and do the same thing, and you would end up buried alive in a nearby rock face. +But I know how to make it take me anywhere. +He pulled a sheet of folded paper from his pocket and handed it to me. +It read, "Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service, Status Report of U.S. Treasury-Owned Gold." +He pointed to a row that read, "Deep Storage: Fort Knox, KY." +I sucked in a whole lot of air. +Anywhere? +Anywhere," he walked around the moai and came back wrestling with a big, heavy bar of gold. +Otherwise the vault is sealed. +Does anyone else know about this? +No, they would have been on Rapa Nui if they knew, ready to stop me. +This is the 400 ounces which I mentioned at the restaurant. +About $150,000 dollars at this morning's rate. +I looked at the sheet in my hand. +I had to read it twice. +I had never seen a dollar sign in front of that many number before. +I thought they didn't keep gold there anymore, just nerve gas. +The gold is still there. +How much can we sell before someone becomes suspicious? +Charles put the bar down and slid a web pouch over it with shoulder straps like a small backpack. +How's your um... business? +"None," I said and slipped the knife into his neck right at the base of his skull. +None +Call me small minded, but you know "a bird in the hand." +All that gold in Fort Knox was just too much for me to wrap my head around. +But I could handle a hundred and fifty-K easy, say seventy-five-K from the fence. +I slipped the little pouch over my back and wiped the knife on his jacket. +I waived down a waitress and ordered a cup of decaf and a slice of pie. +Then I made my way back to the little marker where we came in. +His mistake had been in telling me the same gesture opened the door the other way. +What if it didn't work? +So the icy wind at the top of the mound and the bright moon came as a real relief. +The gold was heavy on my back, and I was all the way to the car before I realized I had left the keys on Charles. +The highway patrol was just bound to come by then. +After that it was just connect the dots back to prison. +The rental car records pointed to Acres, and there was enough blood on the knife to match DNA from Acres comb in the motel. +They never bothered trying to explain how Acres made it into the country without a ticket on a plane or a boat. +I didn't like his tone much. +But they speculated all through the trial about where the gold came from, offered me deals. +The prosecution liked the idea that Acres was my smuggler's mule. +I was a one man gold cartel in the news. +"So you sure you're not a cop, Charles?" +I'm just wondering what they'll think when they open that vault in Kentucky. +And I still wonder why Charles picked me? +Maybe he didn't know anybody else with "connections." +Acres said it was dangerous, but maybe I could find my way back to the mound or Easter Island even. +I figure it can't be worse than the lethal injection that's waiting for me at dawn. +I stared him down until he flinched. +I don't really believe I'll make it or I wouldn't say a thing. +But if I do make it, it won't matter what I tell you, because there won't be a jail that can hold me. +Wish me luck. +I out of here. +As I did, I noticed just how tired he looked around the eyes. +I knew every cop in Fairport and quite a few of the state police in Iowa, and I couldn't see them bringing old Charles in as a ringer. +'m not a cop +He sighed and went on in softer, sadder voice, "I guess I'm a thief now." +Hold it. +I looked around. +Charles might be for real, but he was still going to get me in deep trouble. +Let's make real clear right now that you were joking, buddy. +Otherwise this conversation is over. +I've got a parole officer to explain things to, and he wouldn't like that kinda talk. +Right. +Right. +Sorry. +Charles looked out the window at the passing traffic push through dirty slush for awhile. +Like I was saying. +I'm a researcher, I've come into some valuable material that I would like to find a buyer for, and I don't want to have to explain myself to anyone. +He said he had a "business proposition" for me. +The pie came and I waited until the waitress was gone, before going on, "Why me?" +You were the first person who came to mind. +First person? +Twenty years out of high school? +How much of this 'valuable material' are we talking about? +Four Hundred ounces for a start. +I pulled out my palm phone and looked up a number. +That's alot. +He drained the last of his cup and tossed some bills on the table. +I'm staying in town. +Let me show you something. +He sounded surprised and said no, he needed me to help him get rid of "a large quantity of gold." +Charles might not look like much, but I hadn't made it through my life taking that kind of chance. +I put away the cell and used the motion to cover checking the knife in my sleeve and used one leg to check the other in my sock. +I had been an amateur magician for years. +It never failed to amaze. +Sure. +Let's go," I said. +There was only one chair, so I sat on the edge of the bed as he handed me a book open to a picture of some sort of stone tablet. +Rapa Nui," he said, "Easter Island. +This codex is one of the few remaining examples of a form of writing known as 'rongorongo. +For a long time no one was able to decipher it, although by deduction, Steven Fischer deciphered some of it in nineteen ninety four. +I told him I'd meet him for coffee at the diner down the street at seven. +He mostly read creation stories off objects like the 'Santiago Staff' which said things like, 'All the birds copulated with fish: There issued forth the sun. +But he ignored the inscriptions on skulls and the 'Birdman' statuette. +It was those clues that started all of this. +I didn't see much money in hieroglyphic porn. +He talked on about people with long ears who built the big statues, the "moai" and people with short ears who conquered the people with long ears and ate them and how the short eared people didn't really know the secrets of the long ears and had pulled down all the moai statues and destroyed some of the tablets. +And how the missionaries came and the converted natives had destroyed more. +He flipped pages to another image, "But notice something here in the arrangement of the moai. +See here how they form a pattern, very similar to this? +He pulled out a small leather diary and opened it to a yellowed page marked with yet another small sticky note. +I didn't see much resemblance except maybe there were about the same number of points in the cat's cradle thing in the diary and the number of dots on the map showing places where statues stood in a thin line around the coast of the island. +he was already there, sitting in a booth, warming his hands on a cup of coffee. +This is the diary of a mysterious explorer named Samuel Curlew who investigated a Mound Builder site in this area in the early eighteen hundreds. +He closed the little book and just about hugged it with satisfaction. +I want to show you that mound. +You know it was these very mounds that originally sparked my interest in history, archeology and then linguistics. +And this mound is where you found gold? +I was confused enough I let the "G word" slip. +Was this some crazy treasure hunt? +Or maybe this guy was just a wacko who wanted to take me out on a dark road and kill me. +No, it's more complicated than that, but I need to show you the mound for you to understand. +He looked like jerked meat on the bone. +The drawings and the books seemed to wake him up. +I was having serious cash flow issues back then and had payments to make, so I said, "yes," but my patience was running out. +Charles Acres called me on a Thursday afternoon, just like that. +It was dark as we left. +The drive was shorter than I expected. +He was wearing a new jacket and snow boots, but he had on a Hawaiian shirt underneath and khaki shorts of all things. +When he killed the headlights there was no light but moonlight and stars on a light dusting of snow. +A low, black hill blocked the sky right in front of us. +We spent the next hour stomping around the hill while he said things like, "it was right here." +My patience was long gone, and I was back in the car to warming up when Acres tapped on the window and told me he had found whatever he was looking for. +It looked like a bamboo walking stick. +"This is it," he leaned down and motioned for me to look at something on the ground. +This is it +I casually slid a knife into my palm just in case. +See how the lines form the pattern in the journal, the same one as the moai. +"So you drew this?" I asked vaguely, slow to catch on. +So you drew this? +He looked hurt and rapped on the ground with his finger. +It's stone. +Ancient. +For the first time he looked cold and stiff in his tourist gear, making me glad I was in a suit. +His tan was obviously deep and old, but it looked like a work tan, not the kind you get at the beach. +Here stand beside me," he said. +I'm not sure if I can take you with me so I need to show you the device. +Device? +I expected him to pull out a gadget with blinking lights and was wondering which way to duck. +It's like sleight of hand. +OK, watch and remember this. +I'm going to do it in two parts, last part first so it won't take effect. +Remember to reverse the two parts when you actually do it. +Stunned I watched as he made several ridiculous passes with his hands paused and nodded then did a sort of sign language stutter of some sort. +"Mnemonic." I muttered, which seemed to please him. +Mnemonic. +Yes. +They help in remembering steps in a ritual or ceremonial gestures. +Now you do it. +He smiled and I could see his teeth in the moonlight. +I wanted to slug him, but he had the keys to the car back and I figured I'd humor him while I figured out how to get them without violating my parole. +I even swapped the two parts as he had asked. +I thought he was surprised at my dexterity when his jaw dropped, but he shouted, "No!" just before everything changed. +I was standing on a perfectly flat square of dark stone. +For as far as I could see by a weak, gray light the stone stepped up and down making little hills and terraces and platforms. +I seemed to be somewhere in the middle -- there was as much above as below. +So, the mining business is treating you pretty good, huh Charles? +I was in shock. +We receive no government funding. +The only way we can continue to provide guide dogs, at no cost, to someone who is blind or visually impaired, is through your support. +Friends like you make it possible to give the gift of “Second Sight®”. +“Second Sight®” +I hope the Foundation can count on your caring donation today. +And having a guide dog does make a real difference in the lives of our students. +“Second Sight” +It’s the special bond — of a loving and working 24 hour a day partnership. +“As a boy in Bosnia, I walked my dog. +“As a boy in Bosnia, I walked my dog.

For more information about the Guide Dog Foundation, or to become a Guide Dog Foundation volunteer, visit our website at www.guidedog.org. +For too many, this is a daily reality — but today you can help make a difference. +Having a guide dog allows a blind or visually impaired individual to experience the possibilities of life, not the limitations. +For The Blind, Inc. +It costs over $20,000 to breed, care for and train a guide dog like “Duke” and to train his blind teammate. +We use Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and a cross between Labs and Goldens. +Male and female dogs are used. +And our dogs are specially bred for temperament and physical soundness. +It’s people like you who make it possible to give the priceless gift of “Second Sight” . +Every Foundation guide dog is given free of charge to someone who is blind or visually impaired. +We are supported entirely by donations from generous individuals, corporations and foundations. +Tonight was for observation. +I didn't bother trying to seek out a different group of potentially more interesting people, though. +They all looked the same: clusters of social butterflies surrounded by the less apt, the hangers-on, the circle with whom the gossip was shared. +I wondered at the ship instead. +All the fine food and the ornamental lighting, it had to be exorbitantly pricey to maintain. +If the barkeep was any indication, I suspected similarly high-class robots fulfilled other positions on the ship. +How they were all powered was a mystery—as good as the technology got, a quality robot like that was still an energy sink. +It was the brain, mostly; the amount of information the machine had to process to be able to function at the level it did ate up a lot of resources. +Sarah's crowd took turns taking my champagne flute to the bar to be refilled, all seemingly pleased to have a new set of ears to talk at. +By the end of the evening, when I finally followed the slow trickle of people out of the room, a satisfying haze had settled on my mind. +It was nice, I decided. +This ship. +This life. +Did it truly matter what the ship's origin was and why Jefferson had saved me, if now, I was content? +Fact: It's easy to fall into patterns. +I would wake late, checking the clock on my room's lightscreen to make sure I hadn't slept through brunch. +I would join the rest of the ship for meals, and I would take my turn in the weight room. +I would watch old films on the entertainment screens, taking mental notes for later dinnertime discussions. +I would immerse myself in new virtual reality flicks. +I would attend afternoon dance classes, so that when the evening dances came around (modeled after the historical social gatherings of several hundred years prior), I would be less of an embarrassment to myself. +So, twenty-four hours. +I did not ask questions. +I told myself I should. +I told myself that tonight, the observation period would end and I'd start puzzling out the ship's mystery. +But I fell under the ship's sway. +Give or take. +Bereft of my previous familiar life, I latched onto Kishori and Ray and Zheng, and Sarah with Alexis dragged along on her arm now and then (he was mostly her favorite dancing partner; she confided to us one night that his conversational skills left something to be desired). +About the time I was composing my last words in my head, trying not to think too much about what suffocating felt like, that's when I heard a bell. +I smothered thoughts of friends back on Earth—this was my long-awaited vacation, my clean break and my temporary retreat; I'd try contacting those friends tomorrow. +I continued to care little for shipwide gossip, but our discussions of films and flicks, old and new, brought out my artistic, story-loving, argumentative side, a side of me I'd tucked into a back storage compartment during my years as an engineer. +It was a good life, if surreal. +But I wasn't sure I wanted the dream stage to end. +Fact: Some places are timeless. +Days passed, weeks passed, but I couldn't tell if it had been months or years since I was rescued. +All there was, all I remembered, was a blur. +Gathering for drinks in the parlors, playing dress up with all the fine clothes I found in the closets (some of it modern, some of it period dress for special themed events), idling in the lounges. +Now and then, a new face mingled in the crowd. +Other faces washed out, fading into the backdrop of carpets and fake glass chandeliers and the muted hum of the engines. +So when my shuttle malfunctioned and the airlocks didn't keep the air in, I heard nothing. +One of these evenings, we were gathered in the South Ballroom for post-dinner drinks, lounging on couches and watching other members of our populace move in circles on the dance floor. +(The 'South' was in the title to suggest that there were more ballrooms. +'South' +There weren't.) +Sarah's circle had picked up another newcomer, Adrienne, a short blond girl who we all agreed was barely old enough to attend a traditional university back on Earth, let alone work on the ship in whose wreck Jefferson had found her. +My first thought: I was going crazy. +Maybe it was her curiosity, asking a question I should have asked long before, that turned the conversation serious; maybe there was just something special about that evening. +Maybe we had all tired of the frivolity of our life, hitting some threshold or some breaking point. +We dredged up half-fledged theories and inchoate explanations, tossing these out the same way we pitched ideas about the art films. +“I believe we'll see the end of the universe,” +Captain's cohort, she had a glass of orange-brown liquid in one hand; it might have been orange juice and some kind of berry liquor. +She swirled it speculatively. +I watched Adrienne. +“Impossible,” +“Impossible,” said Zheng, sitting in the chair to her left. +“We can't live that long.” +“Maybe the universe will end sooner than you think,” +Yeah, the captain was there, with the rest of us. +He didn't drink, but he made a point of mingling with all the various cliques. +“Maybe we'll travel at the speed of light and we won't age,” +“Maybe we'll travel at the speed of light and we won't age,” said Sarah, setting her wine glass on the little round end table by her couch. +“Maybe we're already traveling at the speed of light.” +Tiffany, she nodded eagerly. +“Relatively says it all.” +Zheng scoffed. +“Also impossible. +“Also impossible. Even if we were traveling at ninety-nine percent of the speed of light—that's assuming you ignore science and pretend that such a thing is possible, because it isn't—we'd still age. We'd just appear to age slower than people not traveling as fast as us.” +Even if we were traveling at ninety-nine percent of the speed of light—that's assuming you ignore science and pretend that such a thing is possible, because it isn't—we'd still age. +We'd just appear to age slower than people not traveling as fast as us.” +“And?” +said Sarah. +“Aging is relative, anyway. +“Aging is relative, anyway. Besides, I wouldn't mind being around forever. Give our ancestors purpose. Keep their dreams alive.” +Besides, I wouldn't mind being around forever. +Give our ancestors purpose. +Keep their dreams alive.” +In fact, the opposite: We're all going to die.” +“Bleak,” commented Zheng. +“But I like it.” +Ray took a drink from his glass of ice water, and shook his head. +“We're all going to die, so what better thing to do than enjoy the time we have?” +Tiffany took a drink, thinking. +“All the luxuries money can buy,” +“All the luxuries money can buy,” she echoed. +Zheng looked skeptical. +“Paid for how?” +“Smuggling,” responded Kishori. +Matter-of-fact. +“Think about it,” +“Think about it,” Kishori continued, “where else would we get the money to buy all this?” +“where else would we get the money to buy all this?” +“Renegade smugglers. So what's our cargo, eh, captain?” +So what's our cargo, eh, captain?” +Zheng joked, leaning back in his chair with his glass of wine. +“I'll leave you to your speculation,” +Now, there were two things here that made ridiculously small amounts of sense. +He set his glass down on an end table, steepled his fingers together. +“We're revolting,” +“We're revolting,” he told us. +“And I don't mean that you disgust me. +“And I don't mean that you disgust me. No, we're the start of a rebellion. Did you hear what the captain said earlier? He means, we're going to change the future. The universe as we know it won't be the same.” +No, we're the start of a rebellion. +Did you hear what the captain said earlier? +The universe as we know it won't be the same.” +“That's dumb,” +“That's dumb,” said Sarah. +“Wouldn't we know it if we were part of a rebellion? +Zheng shook his head. +“The captain selected us for a reason. +“The captain selected us for a reason. He has inside intelligence—how else would he know where to find us? He knows about us.” +He has inside intelligence—how else would he know where to find us? +He knows about us.” +“That's still dumb,” +“That's still dumb,” said Sarah. +“Inside intelligence? +“Inside intelligence? Don't you remember, there's not exactly one big galactic government from which to steal information.” +Don't you remember, there's not exactly one big galactic government from which to steal information.” +First, the whole in-a-vacuum why's-there-a-bell thing. +“I still like my idea,” +“I still like my idea,” said Tiffany. +Jefferson didn't share how he found people. +But then again, no one asked. +I guess we all figured, he knew what he was doing. +I wondered if Adrienne would ask about that. +“We're going to mean something,” +“We're going to mean something,” Zheng was saying. +“What we do, rebelling against the oppression of the many governments that oppose us, we're going to leave a legacy.” +Enthusiastic, even. +Ray, he shook his head, and broke the quiet he'd held most of the evening. +“You've got it all wrong.” +He looked from Sarah, to Adrienne, to Zheng, to Kishori and Tiffany, to me. +“Obviously, we can't last longer than the rest of the universe. +We aren't giving anyone purpose. +We're not even going to leave a legacy. +All we're doing is eating and drinking and shitting, breathing and fucking and nothing important, ever. +We aren't special.” +“Again, bleak,” +“Again, bleak,” commented Zheng. +Adrienne gestured for him to be quiet. +She leaned forward, setting her elbows on the foot stool in front of her. +“You never know when it will end,” +“You can't hold on forever, even if you don't ever, ever want to forget. +“You can't hold on forever, even if you don't ever, ever want to forget. How long until the memories slip away? How long until all you remember is this, the ship, the thick red carpeting, the chandeliers, the empty conversations you hold with the other shells who used to be people? When your life, the reason you lived, the people and faces and places, the emotions you felt, who and what you loved, when all that is gone, faded, what will you have left?” +How long until the memories slip away? +How long until all you remember is this, the ship, the thick red carpeting, the chandeliers, the empty conversations you hold with the other shells who used to be people? +I wondered how long Ray had been on this ship. +I wondered why, if he had such an unpropitious outlook, he hadn't tried to change his situation. +I wanted to ask, but he was still talking, and I was too self-conscious to interrupt. +“You can try to hold on,” said Ray. +“You can try and try and try. +Repeat stories to yourself in the artificial night, sketch faces in your mind. +But words, if you repeat them enough times, lose their meaning. +Emily emily em-ill-ee em-i-lee eh-mill-ee eh-mih-lee. +My wife's name, once. +Repeat it enough times, it's just a sound. +These signals were the heralds of my saviors. +No longer grounded.” +Ray, he said, “If we last forever, if our eyes are the last eyes watching as the stars blink out, it won't mean a thing to us. +We aren't angels. +We're just dumb and lucky.” +“Pure dumb luck,” +“Pure dumb luck,” he said. +“Struck a nerve, huh?” +said Zheng. +“Sorry,” +“Sorry,” said Ray. +“How long ago was that?” +asked Adrienne. +“Leaving your wife, I mean. +“Leaving your wife, I mean. Traveling on this ship.” +The first words they said to me meant nothing. +Ray, he looked down at his hands, folded together in his lap, fingers interlaced. +“I don't know,” +“I don't know,” he said. +We were all quiet for a moment. +Ray shrugged, then got up and left. +We let him go. +Silent. +Self-conscious. +More excuses were made, and after a few moments, only Adrienne and I were left sitting in the ballroom. +She looked across the circle of couches at me. +“What's your theory?” +I wasn't listening; I didn't care; I was going to live; I was going to keep breathing. +“Not that long,” +“Not that long,” I said. +“A couple weeks, I guess. Maybe a month or two.” +Maybe a month or two.” +“Why don't you know for sure?” +she asked. +I shrugged. +I hadn't been counting days. +“What did you do before this? +“What did you do before this? How were you found?” +How were you found?” +“I was an engineer.” +I explained how my ship had malfunctioned, no warning at all. +The explosions, the impossible rescue. +She nodded. +“The ship I was on, I guess that's what happened, too. +“The ship I was on, I guess that's what happened, too. Some vital part broke, and... well, boom. It was all so fast.” +well, boom. +It was all so fast.” +She took a sip of her drink, plain water because, she had explained earlier, she had never liked the taste of alcohol, then fixed her gaze on me. +“I'm going to figure it out,” +“I'm going to figure it out,” she said. +“How and why this ship exists. +“How and why this ship exists. I'll figure it out, then I'm going to find a way home.” +I'll figure it out, then I'm going to find a way home.” +I paced my room that night, unable to sleep. +The more I thought about it, the less sense the ship made. +Next to those, nothing else mattered. +Worse, Adrienne had made this clear to me with a single question. +Fact: Adrienne intimidated me. +Fact: It's too easy to fall into patterns. +I resolved to break the pattern. +Another evening, another chandeliered room, another swirl of conversations and dances and hor d'oevres. +Another circle of chairs and couches, another uncomfortable question. +The recycled air tasted sweet in my mouth, and all thoughts that crossed my mind were cheap metaphors about life-giving substances and how breathing was like sex, only better. +“Has anyone ever left?” +Adrienne looked at each of us in turn. +Ray exchanged a glance with Zheng. +Sarah frowned. +“Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Alexis in days. +“Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Alexis in days. I assumed he was indisposed.” +I assumed he was indisposed.” +Kishori nodded in agreement. +After the first whoosh of the air being sucked away, there was lightning, but no thunder. +I looked at Ray and raised an eyebrow. +“What?” +“Well,” +“Well,” Ray said, slowly, “People do leave. +“People do leave. The approximate number of people at any given event is always the same. But we see new faces.” +The approximate number of people at any given event is always the same. +Fact: Sound is a vibration. +asked Adrienne, using Sarah's phrasing. +Zheng shook his head and picked up a handful of candied pecans from a little dish on the end table. +“Keep adding people long enough, regardless, you get more overall. +“Keep adding people long enough, regardless, you get more overall. A couple people staying in their rooms, even if you switch out the people, won't make a difference.” +A couple people staying in their rooms, even if you switch out the people, won't make a difference.” +He dropped the pecans back into the dish, one by one. +“So where do they go?” +Adrienne focused on Zheng. +“Maybe a better question is, does anyone ever come back?” +Ray and Zheng exchanged another glance. +Kishori chewed her lip. +Sarah shrugged and sipped at her drink. +After a moment, Ray said, “I don't think so.” +“I don't think so.” +“Are there patterns?” +Adrienne asked. +“Who leaves?” +Again, there was an uncomfortable moment of silence. +I hazarded a guess. +“You don't notice, do you.” +Sarah looked indignant. +“Of course we notice. +“Of course we notice. But... well, no one important ever disappears, so it doesn't really matter, does it.” +But... well, no one important ever disappears, so it doesn't really matter, does it.” +I could tell she was trying to remember whom she had known who had left, and failing. +No one contradicted her. +No one offered a different answer. +I looked at Adrienne. +Mission accomplished: Our routine insouciance had been disrupted. +The scales had tipped. +(I reserved the right to revise this opinion later.) +From the looks on my companions' faces, I knew they were thinking the same. +“How long have you been here?” +The question, previously posed to me, was presented to the rest of our group (excluding Ray; Adrienne had been tactful enough to wait until he had gone for a refill, recalling the last time the subject was broached). +Sarah, she tilted her head and tapped a finger on the side of her wine glass. +A long time. +Got to be months and months, at least. +“You were here before I was,” +“You were here before I was,” said Kishori, “and so was Tiffany.” +When I was done mentally exclaiming over my impossible rescue, I looked around. +“and so was Tiffany.” +I looked at Zheng; he shrugged. +“Time passes in a weird way here. +“Time passes in a weird way here. I kept track for a while—thirty-eight days—but after that... I guess I didn't see the point.” +I kept track for a while—thirty-eight days—but after that... +I guess I didn't see the point.” +Fact: Some places are timeless. +“Why not?” +asked Adrienne. +“Days don't matter,” +“Days don't matter,” he said. +Tiffany nodded, but Kishori spoke before the other woman could. +“Why are you so interested?” +Adrienne met her gaze. +“I don't want to be here forever.” +“But we're not here forever,” +“But we're not here forever,” objected Sarah. +“Remember? +“Remember? Alexis left.” +Alexis left.” +“Disappeared,” +“Disappeared,” I corrected her. +“We don't know how or why he left. +“We don't know how or why he left. Or where he went.” +Zheng looked thoughtful. +He picked up his glass, swirled the liquid around, took a sip, then set the glass back down. +He glanced around at the rest of us. +“Do you want to leave?” +he asked. +“Could you live anywhere else now?” +I spoke up. +“Yes,” +“Yes,” I said. +“I wouldn't miss this, much.” +No one else said anything. +I watched Adrienne's eyes move from one face to the next. +Zheng, he addressed me again, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and an intense, steady gaze. +“You think that,” +“You think that,” he said, “but is it true? +Fact: It's too easy to fall into patterns. +Fact: I wasn't sure I wanted the dream stage to end. +My quarters felt stifling. +Asphyxiating my mind. +I sat sideways in the armchair, feet dangling over one arm, neck resting against the other, absently tracing invisible lines between the stars outside my window as I ruminated on the situation. +The lightscreen had proved singularly unhelpful. +There was a schedule advertising upcoming on-ship events, such as dance classes, craft sessions, and discussion groups, and a list of dinner invitations for me to respond to. +A menu of display options, allowing me to customize all the lightscreen's superficial characteristics. +A simple contact system for communicating with other people on the ship. +That was all. +A methodical search of my two adjoining rooms, the ample closet space, and the attached bathroom facility had similarly provided no fodder. +Furniture (dark wood, expensive, polished, no secret compartments), clothes, leftover tray of half-consumed food from the previous day's lunch, toiletries (complete with miniature bottles of sweet-smelling apricot honey lotion), lightscreen, me. +I was discouraged and frustrated. +I wanted to prove to Adrienne that I wanted solve the ship's mystery just as much as she did. +I wanted to find something, anything, that would prove all this was normal and sane. +And me, I guess I was one more piece in their puzzle. +I didn't want to think about disappearances and time and purposes and consequences. +I wanted my contentment back. +I cornered Adrienne at dinner that night. +In one hand I balanced my plate of star-shaped crackers, globs of elegant dips and garnishes, little rolled balls of meats and cheeses stabbed through with spears of some pale green plant, and an array of other delectable, bite-sized items. +My other hand pointedly steered Adrienne to a small table against a wall. +She glared at me, but obediently let me pull her along. +“Tell me,” +I was one more scrap to weld onto the rest, one more stranded survivor who was found. +“what you have found.” +It wasn't a question. +She gave me a grumpy look that informed me, quite clearly, of her current opinion of me. +“Not if you're going to be rude about it.” +I sighed. +“Sorry.” +I wasn't, not really, but I'd lie to get the conversation going. +“I want to know.” +I explained, in two brief sentences, my earlier impasse. +“I don't know much,” +“I don't know much,” she said, still annoyed but at least cooperative. +She reviewed the information gleaned from our previous dinner conversations, adding, “I heard the captain say something yesterday, as I walking to the Pyrope Parlor. +“I heard the captain say something yesterday, as I walking to the Pyrope Parlor. I was just coming up on a corner and he was around the other side, talking to a couple people, and they must not have known I was there. He said something about a wreck going well. And listen, when they came round the corner, Ray was with the captain.” +I was just coming up on a corner and he was around the other side, talking to a couple people, and they must not have known I was there. +And listen, when they came round the corner, Ray was with the captain.” +I was now one of them. +“Is there a doctor on board?” +asked Adrienne. +“I've been having headaches.” +This story, it's our story. +“Down past the Emerald Lounge, second door on the left. +“Down past the Emerald Lounge, second door on the left. All hours.” +A robot, then. +Medical AI were even more expensive than the barkeep. +I wondered how many people it treated. +Had anyone on the ship ever fallen seriously ill? +The survivors of the unfortunate accidents, the catastrophic malfunctions, the fateful crashes: this is us. +“Does he age?” +asked Adrienne. +“The captain?” +I shrugged. +“I never thought about it.” +“That doesn't answer my question,” +“That doesn't answer my question,” she said. +Adrienne only picked at her food. +“Not hungry?” +asked Kishori sympathetically. +“No,” +“No,” said Adrienne. +“At least have a drink,” +“At least have a drink,” said Sarah. +“I find it takes the edge off.” +“Maybe that's the problem,” +“Maybe that's the problem,” said Sarah. +“One hundred and forty-seven is a magic number,” said Sarah. +“You ever heard of Dunbar? +“You ever heard of Dunbar? Well, we've got the perfect-size group right here.” +Well, we've got the perfect-size group right here.” +Just enough for us all to be able to barely avoid killing each other. +“Why doesn't anyone mutiny?” +Adrienne asked. +“We can't,” +“What would we do?” +Adrienne shook her head and made a sound of disgust. +“You could force the captain to set down somewhere. +“You could force the captain to set down somewhere. Let us off the ship. If he refuses, threaten him. If he still refuses, well, of all of us, isn't there someone who can drive a ship?” +Let us off the ship. +If he refuses, threaten him. +If he still refuses, well, of all of us, isn't there someone who can drive a ship?” +Floating alone, each of us facing the silence of the vacuum, we were found. +“That's murder,” +“That's murder,” objected Sarah. +“That's survival, ” +Times like that, running on less sleep than I should, alone because everyone else had had the sense to retire for the night, I had a tendency to get all meditative about the universe and my place in it. +The stillness of the room contributed, as did the view. +Black and more black, speckled by tiny points of light that flared up to break the emptiness, if only for a brief time. +All of it was temporary, save for the black. +That was tonight's melodramatic theme: the ephemeral nature of life. +Once found, we can never be lost. +Everything temporary. +Eyes bulging in panic, but no screams. +Some things in this world, we have to make them permanent ourselves. +This is our Hotel California. +He had made us a constant. +He made this ship—this life—a constant. +The one thing that was known. +Maybe everything we did, all the stories we told, maybe it was all lies. +We can never leave. +But ultimately, this ship, its purpose, our purpose—did it matter? +We each had our own theory. +Maybe that was enough. +And all of us, we were permanent characters in each others' stories. +“So, I'm on a ship now? +Maybe that made us more real. +Maybe it made us feel less alone. +“Mind if I join you?” +I turned to see Adrienne in the doorway. +She smiled, then crossed the room to join me by the window, not waiting for an answer. +“Some nights,” +You do this a lot?” +“I can't see the meaning in any of it. All these things I do, they're just to pass the time until I die.” +All these things I do, they're just to pass the time until I die.” +Adrienne looked at me, then back out through the window. +“You don't see a meaning because there is no meaning,” +“You don't see a meaning because there is no meaning,” she said. +A woman, introduced as Tiffany and neither tall nor beautiful, shrugged. +After all of it, as much as we feared being alone, we feared being vulnerable even more. +“Look what I found,” +“Look what I found,” Adrienne said. +In her hands was a bottle. +And what happens to Adrienne? +I couldn't find her. +Jefferson was in the Captain's Lounge, +Fact: Sound is a vibration. +“Up his dosage,” +“Up his dosage,” I heard the captain say. +I didn't want to forget. +I didn't want to be harvested. +The last thing I remember, I was tearing down the corridors. +“Now and then.” +Life boats, I thought. +Every ship had life boats. +In case of emergency, break glass. +I'd find one. +I'd put on a space suit, I'd get out of this ship, I'd find civilization again. +“What about my crewmates? +“What about my crewmates? Why didn't you save them?” +A space station. +Some other ship. +Any place but this place. +Failing all else, I'd suffocate. +Alone. +Ray, he caught me as I pounded on the corridor walls, finding no glass to break. +“Relax,” he told me, sliding a needle into my arm. +Why didn't you save them?” +“It'll pass,” he told me. +He held me in his arms until I stopped flailing. +It passed. +This is my Hotel California. +I can never leave. +As much as Jesse had irritated me, I didn't like the picture my brain drew of him floating in his grave, body swollen and bloated. +Who would tell his girl how he had died? +Quiet and peaceful, right? +“Couldn't,” +“Couldn't,” said the captain. +Jefferson, he called himself, clean-shaven and smart, a picture of the perfect entrepreneur. +“We're selective about our passengers,” +“We're selective about our passengers,” he continued. +“You fit the bill. +Such a relief to never again hear my crewmate Jesse natter about his girl back on Earth and that all-expenses-paid vacation-for-two she won last time he was on leave. +They didn't.” +Tiffany, she looked at the captain, grinned and flipped her greasy brown locks over her shoulder. +She turned to me. +“Come on,” +“Come on,” she said, before I could say anything else, “let's get you settled in.” +>Hotel California +“let's get you settled in.” +No time for questions. +No time for answers. +The ship had all the usual accoutrements (artificial gravity, tastefully painted walls, sound dampeners to keep the noise of the engines from driving the crew batshit insane, recycled air systems), and a few less-usual: lush carpeting, lighting that was decorative as well as functional, spacious corridors. +The occasional painting hung on the wall (generic landscapes and portraits of old people no one has ever met, primarily). +Glimpses of elegant rooms down the branching hallways; music; voices; the aroma of real food. +This was heaven. +“Where are we going?” +I asked. +Tiffany looked back. +“To your quarters. +“To your quarters. It's not far; you're not going to get blisters.” +It's not far; you're not going to get blisters.” +“No, I meant, where's the ship going? +“No, I meant, where's the ship going?

I'm Sarah, and this is Alexis—you must be the new pickup.” +She looked me over approvingly. +I looked longingly at the slices of cheddar olive bread as she whisked me over to the bar, but didn't protest. +The bar was manned by an expensive humanoid robot. +It turned toward Sarah's wave and acknowledged her with a nod, moments later setting a fluted glass of sparkling liquid in front of her. +I marveled at the robot's smoothness and coordination. +Clearly, it was a high-end model. +Sarah transferred the glass to my free hand and pulled me away from the bar for more introductions, with Alexis trailing after us. +I spent the evening listening, mostly. +Listening and stuffing my face with all the bits of fine food provided. +No one minded; Sarah's inner circle was content to fill our circle of couches with plenty of chatter. +Ray, a plump man who was grey where he wasn't bald. +Zheng, short and dark and lean, with a very intense gaze. +He made me a little uncomfortable. +I categorized them based on their appearances, hoping I'd be able to pick them out of the crowd again later. +This is more than the person would have sans space suit. +Most of their chatter was meaningless to me—stories of day-to-day activities, how so-and-so had been seen in so-and-so's table at lunch and my wasn't that a surprise, and why hadn't the chef concocted this delectable a selection of appetizers for the dance the other night, but of course those rolled meat pastries reminded one of the pastries back on Earth, didn't they, and this was somehow an interesting fact. +After the first half-hour, I stopped expending effort to keep names and stories and gossip straight. +“milk-fed” +“accidental” +And almost 6,000,000 companion pets are put to death in shelters throughout America. +What is even more shocking, is that more than 30 million animals die these cruel, painful deaths each year ... +needless deaths that could have been stopped! +And with so much animal cruelty and suffering going on, I’m sure you can understand why the work of The Humane Society of the United States is so vitally important and why we need the support of many other people, like you, to help us bring an end to animal suffering, abuse and neglect. +Since 1954, our programs and activities have been aimed at stopping and eliminating all animal abuse and we continue to spend a great deal of time investigating animal cruelty cases and working with the courts to prosecute the guilty parties. +We also work hard and lobby for better animal welfare laws at the local, state and federal government levels and we insist they enforce existing laws to prevent animal cruelty. +Your name -- and the name of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) -- are very important to the well-being of all animals because together we can prevent suffering and save lives. +Our primary goal, though, has always been to stop the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals before it happens, so we teach the public about the need to protect all animals from suffering, abuse and exploitation. +But while our programs and activities have been successful in reducing animal cruelty, we are constantly faced with new problems of animal suffering which need immediate attention and drain our resources. +It’s a difficult problem, because we have to fight the well-financed and powerful agri-business and research industries, but we do our best to protect the animals. +Right now, the problems are mounting and we need all the help we can get to stop animal cruelty. +And that’s where you can help. +You can be a lifesaving “friend” to all animals by telling friends and family about the important work of The HSUS and asking them to become vigilant in safe-guarding the lives of ALL animals. +“friend” +Today, we are placing special emphasis on pet adoption. +I hope you will visit your local animal shelter and consider adopting a dog or cat into your home. +Dear Friend of Animals, +It’s a wonderful way to enjoy their companionship and save the life of a loving animal, too. +I also hope you will give a big boost to our work to protect all animals by sending a generous tax-deductible donation today. +Your gift of at least $5 or $10 or even $15, will help The HSUS save millions of animals. +I know you care deeply for the well-being of all animals. +Please help us carry this message to others so that animal cruelty and abuse can be eliminated. +Sincerely, President +But your help of $5 or $10 or even $15 is absolutely needed today. +Please take this moment to be as generous as possible to send your best gift today, and don’t forget to use your free colorful pet stickers and name labels enclosed. +I wish I could tell you that everyone is concerned about protecting earth’s animals -- dogs, cats, farm animals and wildlife. +Thanks in advance. +NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20037. +OR IN FLORIDA— A COPY OF THE OFFICIAL REGISTRATION AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAY BE

Walbrecher Jr., an executive at San Francisco-based 1st Nationwide Bank, was named president and chief executive officer of Citadel Holding Corp. and its principal operating unit, Fidelity Federal Bank. +The latest results include some unusual write-downs, which had an after-tax impact of $4.9 million. +Those included costs associated with the potential Valley Federal Savings and Loan Association acquisition, which was terminated on Sept. 27, 1989. +In addition, operating results were hit by an increase in loan and real estate loss reserves. +In American Stock Exchange composite trading, Citadel shares closed yesterday at $45.75, down 25 cents. +The British paper, packaging and publishing concern, said profit from continuing lines fell 10% to #118 million from #130.6 million. +While there were no one-time gains or losses in the latest period, there was a one-time gain of #18 million in the 1988 period. +And while there was no profit this year from discontinued operations, last year they contributed #34 million, before tax. +Reed International PLC said that net income for the six months ended Oct. 1 slipped 5% to #89.7 million ($141.9 million), or 16 pence a share, from #94.8 million ($149.9 million), or 17.3 pence a share. +Pretax profit fell 3.7% to #128 million from #133 million and was below analysts' expectations of #130 million to #135 million, but shares rose 6 pence to 388 pence in early trading yesterday in London. +Reed is paying an interim dividend of 4.6 pence, up 15% from 4 pence a year earlier. +Sales fell 20% to #722 million. +Earnings were hurt by disposal of operations in its restructuring, Reed said. +Sales, however, were little changed at 2.46 billion guilders, compared with 2.42 billion guilders. +The Dutch chemical group said net income gained to 235 million guilders ($113.2 million), or 6.70 guilders a share, from 144 million guilders, or 4.10 guilders a share, a year ago. +The 32% state-owned DSM had eight million guilders of extraordinary charges in the latest quarter, mainly to reflect one-time losses in connection with the disposal of some operations. +N.V. DSM said net income in the third quarter jumped 63% as the company had substantially lower extraordinary charges to account for a restructuring program. +The charges were offset in part by a gain from the sale of the company's construction division. +The earnings growth also was fueled by the company's ability to cut net financing spending by half to around 15 million guilders. +Also, substantially lower Dutch corporate tax rates helped the company keep its tax outlay flat relative to earnings growth, the company added. +The Rockford, Ill., maker of fasteners also said it expects to post sales in the current fiscal year that are "slightly above" fiscal 1989 sales of $155 million. +"slightly above" +The company said its industrial unit continues to face margin pressures and lower demand. +In fiscal 1989, Elco earned $7.8 million, or $1.65 a share. +The company's stock fell $1.125 to $13.625 in over-the-counter trading yesterday. +Elco Industries Inc. said it expects net income in the year ending June 30, 1990, to fall below a recent analyst's estimate of $1.65 a share. +The truck maker said the significant drop in net income will result in lower earnings for the fiscal year. +In fiscal 1988, the company earned $17.3 million, or $1.92 a share, on revenue of $352.9 million. +Oshkosh Truck attributed the downturn in its earnings to higher start-up costs of its new chassis division, a softer motor-home market and higher administrative costs of compliance with government contractor regulations. +Oshkosh Truck Corp., Oshkosh, Wis., estimated earnings for its fourth quarter ended Sept. 30 fell 50% to 75% below the year-earlier $4.5 million, or 51 cents a share. +The company said it is in the process of phasing out John Deere, its current source of production for midsized motor home chassis. +In anticipation of the start-up of its new factory, the company said a larger-than-normal chassis supply has been built to carry it through the transition period. +The year-ago results included a $415 million charge in the 1988 second quarter for underperforming real estate and mortgage loans. +Net advanced to $94.2 million, or 89 cents a share, from $85 million, or 83 cents a share, including net realized investment gains of $31 million, up from $10 million a year ago. +But revenue declined to $3 billion from $3.2 billion. +Travelers Corp. 's third-quarter net income rose 11%, even though claims stemming from Hurricane Hugo reduced results $40 million. +The insurer's earnings from commercial property/casualty lines fell 59% in the latest quarter, while it lost $7.2 million in its personal property/casualty business, compared with earnings of $6.1 million a year ago. +Travelers's employee benefits group, which includes its group health insurance operations, posted earnings of $24 million, compared with a loss of $3 million last year. +In the first nine months, net was $306 million, compared with a loss of $195 million in the 1988 period. +Primerica, which had owned nearly 70% of Williams, will pay about 16.7 million shares, currently valued at almost $472 million, for the rest of Williams. +The financial-services company will pay 0.82 share for each Williams share. +Williams shares, which were to be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange after the close of composite trading yesterday, closed at $23.25, off 12.5 cents.

raises Ratners's U.S. presence to 450 stores. +About 30% of Ratners's profit already is derived from the U.S. +The Van Nuys, Calif., thrift had net income of $132,000, or three cents a share, a year ago. +The bulk of the pretax charge is a $62 million write-off of capitalized servicing at the mobile home financing subsidiary, which the company said had been a big drain on earnings. +The company said the one-time provision would substantially eliminate all future losses at the unit. +Valley Federal Savings & Loan Association took an $89.9 million charge as it reported a third-quarter loss of $70.7 million, or $12.09 a share. +Valley Federal also added $18 million to realestate loan reserves and eliminated $9.9 million of good will. +The thrift said that "after these charges and assuming no dramatic fluctuation in interest rates, the association expects to achieve near record earnings in 1990." +"after these charges and assuming no dramatic fluctuation in interest rates, the association expects to achieve near record earnings in 1990." +Valley Federal is currently being examined by regulators. +New loans continue to slow; they were $6.6 million in the quarter compared with $361.8 million a year ago. +The thrift has assets of $3.2 billion. +Midwest Financial has $2.3 billion in assets and eight banks. +The Midwest Financial subsidiary banks will continue to operate under their current names until early 1990, when each will adopt the First of America name. +Kalamazoo, Mich.-based First of America said it will eliminate the 13 management positions of the former Midwest Financial parent company. +But it said that severance payments to those executives not staying with the company will reduce First of America's operating results for 1989 by $3 million to $4 million, or 15 cents to 20 cents a share. +Under the plan, unsecured creditors, who are owed about $430 million, would receive about $92 million, or 21 cents for each dollar they are owed. +After these payments, about $225,000 will be available for the 20 million common shares outstanding. +Coleco Industries Inc., a once high-flying toy maker whose stock peaked at $65 a share in the early 1980s, filed a Chapter 11 reorganization plan that provides just 1.125 cents a share for common stockholders. +The Avon, Conn., company's stock hit a high in 1983 after it unveiled its Adam home computer, but the product was plagued with glitches and the company's fortunes plunged. +But Coleco bounced back with the introduction of the Cabbage Patch dolls, whose sales hit $600 million in 1985. +But as the craze died, Coleco failed to come up with another winner and filed for bankruptcy-law protection in July 1988. +The plan was filed jointly with unsecured creditors in federal bankruptcy court in New York and must be approved by the court. +Sony Columbia Acquisition Corp., formed for the Columbia deal, will formally take ownership of the movie studio later this month, a spokesman said. +Sony is paying $27 a share, or $3.55 billion, cash and is assuming $1.4 billion of long-term debt. +Still unresolved is Sony's effort to hire producers Jon Peters and Peter Guber to run the studio. +Sony Corp. completed its tender offer for Columbia Pictures Entertainment Inc., with Columbia shareholders tendering 99.3% of all common shares outstanding by the Tuesday deadline. +Sony's planned acquisition of Guber/Peters Entertainment Co. for $200 million is scheduled to close Monday. +Guber/Peters has been locked in litigation with Warner Communications Inc. in an attempt to get out of an exclusive production contract with Warner. +Both sides are in talks to settle the dispute. +A spokeswoman for Crum & Forster said employees were told early this week that numerous staff functions for the personal insurance lines were going to be centralized as a cost-cutting move. +She said the move would result in a after-tax charge of less than $4 million to be spread over the next three quarters. +By comparison, for the first nine months, Xerox earned $492 million, or $4.55 a share, on revenue of $12.97 billion. +Xerox Corp. has told employees in its Crum & Forster personal insurance operations that it is laying off about 300 people, or 25% of the staff. +Earnings at Xerox's financial-services operations actually rose slightly, but that was largely because capital gains at Crum & Forster offset Hurricane Hugo payments and the reserves set up to cover future payments. +Property/casualty insurance has been a tough business in recent quarters, as pricing has been cutthroat and natural disasters such as Hurricane Hugo and the California earthquake have resulted in huge payments. +"It's a cosmetic move," +"It's a cosmetic move," said Jonathan S. Gelles of Wertheim Schroder & Co. +According to Upjohn's estimates, only 50% to 60% of the 1,100 eligible employees will take advantage of the plan. +Upjohn further estimated that about 50% of the employees who leave for early retirement may be replaced. +As a result, Upjohn will likely trim only about 275 to 350 of its more than 21,000 jobs world-wide. +In composite trading on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, Upjohn shares rose 87.5 cents to $38.875 apiece. +An Upjohn spokesman said he had "heard nothing" to suggest the early retirement package was spurred by shareholder pressure or a potential bidder for the company, which occasionally has been the target of takeover speculation. +Upjohn officials said they couldn't estimate the size of the charge until they determine which employees, and how many, will participate in the retirement plan. +The company earlier this year adopted a shareholder-rights plan to ward off unwanted suitors. +The spokesman said it is the first early retirement plan offered under its two-year cost-control strategy. +Earlier staff-reduction moves have trimmed about 300 jobs, the spokesman said. +But the pharmaceutical company said it "anticipates the long-term savings resulting from the plan's implementation will more than offset short-term costs." +"anticipates the long-term savings resulting from the plan's implementation will more than offset short-term costs." +The program, available to Upjohn employees 55 years old or older, could increase an individual's retirement benefits 10% to 20%. +Upjohn Co. said it will offer an early retirement package to as many as 1,100 employees in a cost-cutting move expected to result in a fourth-quarter charge. +Chairman Theodore Cooper called the program part of the company's two-year strategy to implement budget constraints and "an effective headcount-control program." +"an effective headcount-control program." +But some analysts questioned how much of an impact the retirement package will have, because few jobs will end up being eliminated. +Oy Waertsilae is to contribute 200 million markkaa, most of it as subordinated debt, and take a minority stake in the new company. +Customers holding contracts for Waertsilae Marine's undelivered ships are expected to subscribe most of the remaining 170 million markkaa in share capital, government officials said. +Waertsilae Marine's biggest creditor is Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines Inc. Carnival, which has three ships on order from Waertsilae Marine, presented claims for $1.5 billion damages in the bankruptcy court this week. +"The situation is that the bankruptcy court will get out of the shipbuilding business. +Everything will be taken over by the new company," said Christian Andersson, executive vice president of Oy Waertsilae, former parent of Waertsilae Marine. +The Finnish government and major creditors of bankrupt shipyard Waertsilae Marine Industries Oy agreed in principle to form a new company to complete most of the troubled shipyard's backlog of 15 ships. +Once its ownership is finalized, the new company will open talks with state-appointed receivers to buy or lease Waertsilae Marine's shipyard facilities. +Subcontractors will be offered a settlement and a swift transition to new management is expected to avert an exodus of skilled workers from Waertsilae Marine's two big shipyards, government officials said. +Under an accord signed yesterday, the government and Union Bank of Finland would become major shareholders in the new company, each injecting 100 million Finnish markkaa ($23.5 million). +Ralston attributed its fourth-quarter slump partly to higher costs of ingredients in the pet food business as well as competitive pressures, which required higher advertising spending. +For the year, pet food volume was flat, the company said. +Its cereal division realized higher operating profit on volume increases, but also spent more on promotion. +The Continental Baking business benefited from higher margins on bread and on increased cake sales, it added. +Ralston said its Eveready battery unit was hurt by continuing economic problems in South America. +The St. Louis company earned $45.2 million, or 65 cents a share, compared with $84.9 million, or $1.24 a share, a year earlier. +Sales in the latest period were $1.76 billion, a 13% increase from last year's $1.55 billion. +For the year ended Sept. 30, Ralston earned $422.5 million, or $6.44 a share, up 8.9% from $387.8 million, or $5.63 a share. +Ralston Purina Co. reported a 47% decline in fourth-quarter earnings, reflecting restructuring costs as well as a more difficult pet food market. +This year's results included a gain of $70.2 million on the disposal of seafood operations. +Sales for the full year were $6.6 billion, up 13% from $5.8 billion. +Ralston said its restructuring costs include the phase-out of a battery facility in Greenville, N.C., the recent closing of a Hostess cake bakery in Cincinnati and a reduction in staff throughout the company. +The battery plant, which makes rechargeable nickel cadmium and carbon zinc products, will be closed over the next year or so, a spokesman said. +Any secret can be pirated, the experts said, if it is transmitted over the air. +They need only position themselves near a company's satellite dish and wait. +"You can have a dozen competitors stealing your secrets at the same time," Mr. Matchett said, adding : "It's a pretty good bet they won't get caught." +The only way to catch an electronic thief, he said, is to set him up with erroneous information. +Even though electronic espionage may cost U.S. firms billions of dollars a year, most aren't yet taking precautions, the experts said. +By contrast, European firms will spend $150 million this year on electronic security, and are expected to spend $1 billion by 1992. +That was the message delivered by government and private security experts at an all-day conference on corporate electronic espionage. +Still, encrypting corporate communications is only a partial remedy. +One expert, whose job is so politically sensitive that he spoke on condition that he wouldn't be named or quoted, said the expected influx of East European refugees over the next few years will greatly increase the chances of computer-maintenance workers, for example, doubling as foreign spies. +Moreover, he said, technology now exists for stealing corporate secrets after they've been "erased" from a computer's memory. +No personal computer, not even the one on a chief executive's desk, is safe, this speaker noted. +W. Mark Goode, president of Micronyx Inc., a Richardson, Texas, firm that makes computer-security products, provided a new definition for Mikhail Gorbachev's campaign for greater openness, known commonly as glasnost. +Under Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Goode said, the Soviets are openly stealing Western corporate communications. +He cited the case of a Swiss oil trader who recently put out bids via telex for an oil tanker to pick up a cargo of crude in the Middle East. +"Hostile and even friendly nations routinely steal information from U.S. companies and share it with their own companies," said Noel D. Matchett, a former staffer at the federal National Security Agency and now president of Information Security Inc., Silver Spring, Md. +Among the responses the Swiss trader got was one from the Soviet national shipping company, which hadn't been invited to submit a bid. +The Soviets' eavesdropping paid off, however, because they got the contract. +It "may well be" that theft of business data is "as serious a strategic threat to national security" as it is a threat to the survival of victimized U.S. firms, said Michelle Van Cleave, the White House's assistant director for National Security Affairs. +The conference was jointly sponsored by the New York Institute of Technology School of Management and the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association, a joint industry-government trade group. +We don't know who is winning the drug war in Latin America, but we know who's losing it -- the press. +Over the past six months, six journalists have been killed and 10 kidnapped by drug traffickers or leftist guerrillas -- who often are one and the same -- in Colombia. +An hour later, the paper's circulation manager, Miguel Soler, was shot and killed near his home. +El Espectador has been a special target because of the extraordinary courage of its publisher and his staff. +At Monterrey, publisher Luis Gabriel Cano, although shaken by the murders, issued a statement saying: "We will not cease our fight against drug trafficking. +They want to terrify the press and in particular El Espectador because it has always been a torchbearer in this war." +This comes from a man whose brother, Guillermo, was murdered in 1986. +The publishers in Monterrey command no battalions, but they agreed to express their outrage with editorials in today's editions. +Many will use a common editorial. +A final statement yesterday said: "While some advances are being made in nations throughout the hemisphere, the state of press freedom in the Americas still must be regarded as grim as long as journalists and their families are subject to the crudest form of censorship: death by assassination." +The report charged that Panama's Manuel Noriega is not only in league with the drug traffickers but also is bullying the press as never before. +It added: "In Cuba, public enemy No. 1 of press freedoms in the hemisphere, repression of journalists both Cuban and foreign is worse than ever." +Over the past 12 years, at least 40 journalists have died there. +And in Nicaragua, promises of press freedom by the Sandinistas "have not materialized." +As it happens, the four countries cited, Colombia, Cuba, Panama and Nicaragua, are not only where the press is under greatest attack but also are linked by the drug trade and left-wing politics. +Noriega is close to Castro and may once have been his agent. +Sandinistas Thomas Borge and the Ortega brothers are Castro proteges; he backed their takeover of Nicaragua. +In Colombia, the drug-financed guerrillas trying to seize the country and destroy democracy include M-19, which Castro has clearly backed. +Robert Merkel, a former U.S. attorney handling drug indictments in Florida, doesn't think for a minute that Castro's much publicized trials of high officials engaged in the drug trade mean he has broken off with the Medellin drug cartel. +The attacks have intensified since the Colombian government began cracking down on the traffickers in August, trying to prevent their takeover of the country. +"If the cartel succeeds in blackmailing the Colombian authorities into negotiations, the cartel will be in control and Fidel can exploit his past relationships with them," he told the Journal's David Asman recently. +The struggle against the drug lords in Colombia will be a near thing. +He will probably be extradited to the U.S. for trial under an extradition treaty President Virgilia Barco has revived. +Mr. Barco has refused U.S. troops or advisers but has accepted U.S. military aid. +President Bush has agreed to meet within 90 days with Mr. Barco, President Alan Garcia of Peru and President Jaime Paz Zamora of Bolivia to discuss the drug problem. +After the Panama fiasco, they will need some reassurance. +Certainly, the Colombian press is much in need of that. +The slaughter in Colombia was very much on the minds of 450 editors and publishers from Latin America, the United States, the Caribbean and Canada attending the 45th general assembly of the Inter-American Press Association in Monterrey, Mexico, this week. +The paper's local administrator, Maria Luz Lopez, was shot dead, and her mother wounded, while her car was stopped for a red light. +After all, conservation begins with saving those at-risk places -— our forests and deserts, wetlands and oceans, mangroves and coral reefs — that provide a lifeline for precious animals and plants. +To this end, we’ve designated some 200 ecoregions, those with the most outstanding and diverse habitats, as our Global 200. +We’re now creating model projects in 25 of these high-priority areas -- in order to balance conservation with people’s need to use natural resources to sustain their livelihoods. +Dear Friend, +With your increased commitment, we can intensify our campaigns to protect species that are in grave peril by both the loss of habitat and the illegal trading in animal parts. +Quite simply, WWF must do even more to safeguard the tigers, rhinos, pandas. whales, and other creatures that still remain in the wild. +As a member of World Wildlife Fund, you know that our efforts are essential to preserving the astonishing, yet desperately threatened diversity of life here on Earth. +While we still have the chance. +So in addition to our efforts to conserve wildlife preserves, we’ll escalate our trailblazing program to find alternatives for traditional tiger-based medicines ... rescue more rhinos in Kenya and Nepal through our ambitious translocation projects ... complete the first survey of China’s pandas in over a decade ... and fight to halt all commercial whaling, as well as the whale meat trade. +We’ll also award more small grants through our Species Action Fund to help a wide range of animals, including whooping cranes, giant river otters, and Tibetan antelopes. +And with your increased commitment, we can battle against destructive global forces that transcend regional and national boundaries. +For instance, our innovative “Forests for Life Campaign” establishes an international network of parks and reserves. +“Forests for Life Campaign” +This will protect at least 10% of each different type of forest found in every country. +Another WWF goal? +To end government subsidies that promote overfishing and to encourage new markets for sustainably managed fisheries. +The challenges we face are daunting, to be sure. +However, I’m confident that by joining together again, we can make exciting progress in the year ahead. +I want to ask you, therefore, to renew your valued World Wildlife Fund membership and, hopefully, at the Living Planet Society level of $750. +When you do, you’ll extend your commitment as an esteemed partner with WWF -- the largest and most effective international conservation group in existence. +Now, with your increased commitment, we can save more of our planet’s cherished wild species and their irreplaceable habitats ... as we strive to ensure a healthy and thriving future for our extraordinary natural world. +I’m also hoping you know that you play a vital role in achieving our conservation goals around the globe. +Once again, please accept my warmest gratitude for your past support And please, take a moment today to renew your critically important WWF annual membership. +Thank you. +Sincerely, Kathryn S. Fuller President +P.S. As a Living Planet Society member, you’ll receive the wonderful array of benefits described in the enclosed brochure. +Plus, to acknowledge your increased gift of $750, we’ll send you a free copy of our stunning coffee-table photography book, Living Planet Preserving Edens of the Earth. +Please let it be a constant reminder of all you’re doing to preserve our endangered wildlife! +That’s why I want to extend my appreciation for your last membership contribution of $500. +And why I’m writing you today to ask you to renew your support for the pivotal year ahead. +With your increased

Robert G. Torricelli's dealings with David Chang: +A series of snapshots and images are then a visual resume for McCall. +On the basis of thousands of pages of information developed in an earlier federal inquiry into Torricelli's activities, the committee chastised him for using poor judgment and disregarding Senate rules in his dealings with the former donor, David Chang. +It can open doors to opportunity. +But so far he has pushed the point only with the Palestinians. +This is entirely insufficient. +New York cannot afford to have a gaping hole that mocks the city and its process for rebuilding what was destroyed. +Opening the process to other designers, both here and internationally, will help separate this urban plan from the ordinary. +Among these are rules governing emissions that limit visibility in the national parks, and rules governing pollution that drifts eastward from Midwestern power plants. +A lawyer for Chang, Bradley D. Simon, said Tuesday night that he was disappointed that the ethics panel had confirmed only a handful of the gifts he said his client had given Torricelli, and that the panel did not deal with what he said were actions by Torricelli to thwart the federal investigation. +"Senator Torricelli provided the committee with a full explanation of sources of income and any funds used for cash purposes," she said. +With thousands of trees and flowers in bloom, we are having a beautiful Spring! +Your Georgia O'Keeffe membership, please note, includes free admission to all art-related activities of the IMA's Young Friends of Art group. +Additionally, I am sending traditional background materials on the Museum and the two latest issues of our Previews Magazine detailing upcoming events, exhibitions, and educational programs. +These guides are perfect for your family day hikes—they’re pocket-size, full of helpful information such as what to wear and how to prepare, and the highlights chart makes choosing a walk easy +Induded in your gift set: Nature walks in and around New York City Quiet Water Canoe Guide: New York +That does not change the fact that they did just that. +This booing by the crowd, not mentioned with a single word in your transcript or your article, shows that the crowd was fully aware of the controversy they would cause by coming to Littleton after children were being killed there -- and they effectively said "Fuck you". +To say that they could not have done otherwise is a bold lie by Moore's critics. +Regarding the NRA website excerpt about the case and the highlighting of the phrase "48 hours after Kayla Rolland is pronounced dead": +The camera lingers on Bush/Cheney posters, and the protestor is quoted as saying that "we wanted to let the NRA know that we haven't forgotten about Kayla Rolland". +It also raises questions about America's foreign policy of recent decades, questions which have been all but ignored by Moore's critics. +His main mistake is that he does not use population corrected data, his second mistake is that he does not cite his sources (and, as you correctly point out, he probably uses different reporting methods for the different countries). +A good comparison of international homicide rates can be found on the relatively neutral guncite.com website. +The most shameful part of the ongoing attacks against Moore is that these answers have been all but ignored by his critics. +What's the difference between that mass destruction and the mass destruction over at Columbine High School?" +"Although other units of Lockheed Martin Corporation elsewhere in the country produce weapons to support the defense of the U.S., we make no weapons at the Littleton-area facility Moore visited." +Why is someone so young not having fun with friends on a Friday night. +I feel your British readers would appreciate that. +I sometimes wish I could forget that Pendelton is the Braves hitting coach. +nota bene: An overdue library book is a crime against Humanities. +Antie’s stalks would also have receptors for the hydrocarbons themselves, which research shows indicate to the ants whether another ant is their nestmate (Arnold, et al, 1996, as cited in Gordon & Mehdiabadi, 1999), receptors to detect food, and receptors for three types of pheromones: those released by successful foragers returning with food, those released by successful patrollers returning to the nest, and those marking piles of trash as midden. +I propose here the theoretical construction and programming of a robot (hereafter referred to as Antie) that will be able to infiltrate a red harvester ant nest, switching between the foraging, patrolling and midden work behaviors. +Two simultaneously operated motors will open and close the grippers, emulating the grasping power of the ant’s mandibles. +These behaviors will often be used in other subroutines running on a schema basis, and when combined with the forward cruise function, should cause the robot to move at an angle. +These three behaviors each present different puzzles to the ant and to the modeler, though there is some overlap, particularly with navigational problems. +The code may look something like this: +A rudimentary blueprint of Antie is attached. +We try to be even-handed in opposing all terrorism, although we recognize that the greatest terrorist threat in the world today comes from radical Muslims who falsely believe that Allah approves of their criminal behavior against Israel, The United States, Russia, India, the Philippines, Australia, and others whom they falsely believe to be "waging war against Allah. +Rev.

valid criticism, but far from the deliberate distortion you make it out to be; rather, it is an example for how the facts can sometimes be easy to miss with Moore's fast pace editing. +Unfortunately,

and it is surprising that his critics don't dwell on them longer. +In fact, Moore mentions several counter-examples, and more such counter-examples can indeed be cited. +You write: Bowling shows Moore casually buying ammunition at an Ontario Walmart. +If anything, it is his own failure that he did not clarify what he meant with "having a more mixed ethnicity". +Heston's answers in the interview were evasive and unhelpful. +It is not a flawless diamond -- the "48 hours" scene in particular suffers from bad editing, the statistics are suboptimal, and Heston gets a bit more bashing than he deserves. +Other than towards the NRA, the movie tries hard to avoid simplistic conclusions, and comes up with some thoughtful answers. +It is unlikely, however, that the unfair attacks against him will have much of an impact. +Critics like yourself claim that Moore has massively distorted evidence to support his point that Charlton Heston has effectively insulted the victims of the Columbine tragedy by holding a rally in Denver shortly afterwards. +Agree with the previous two comments. +It may also be that I remember the scene of their writing, which would have been in the old apartment,

behaviors of the sterile workers may be divided into several subcategories: brood care, nest maintenance, patrolling and foraging. +This object detection process will be activated when the front bump sensor is stimulated or when both sonar detectors are stimulated. +The code will be similar to the object identification subroutine and may look something like this: +Younger ants work more inside the nest, and older ants work more outside the nest. +A program encoding this behavior might look like this: +This behavior will be implemented in two parts, with a task-switching algorithm based on age. +To control for this behavior, Antie’s explore subroutine will display a preference for exploration in places where there is a low gradient of nestmate pheromones. +In order to inform itself about its environment, Antie will need a number of sensors. +The locations of the rest of these sensors will depend on their function. +All of our frantic preparations may have had some effect in preventing small-time casual attacks, but they cannot stop a serious planned attack, any more than a mere door lock can stop a serious robber who really wants to get into your house. +The moral and religious

rewrites them in a meter that is more consistent with their rhythmic pattern. +Immediately following the arrival of E♭ in the bass, C♯ (D♭) is established as the tonal center for the final transition to the second theme. +The trombone motive in measures 134-141, shown in Example 12, is the subject of the fugato section in part 3 of the development, although its importance is downplayed here. +In measures 91-95, the bass descends F-E♭-D♭-C, which might seem to support C’s functioning as structural dominant. +The return to B in measure 210 is also filled-in in this way by F♯ in measures 208-209. +Paul Wilson points out that “[i]n substituting for F within an analogous structure, B receives confirmation at this point as the crucial interior center of the movement.” +“[i]n substituting for F within an analogous structure, B receives confirmation at this point as the crucial interior center of the movement.” +As tempting as this interpretation may be, this observation is relegated to

civilian bookkeeper for six months. +Karnes has never spoken publicly about his role as Tibbets' right-hand administrative aide. +Tibbets had just been ordered to organize a combat force to drop a bomb being developed by a secret enterprise known as the Manhattan Project. +Karnes handed out bunk assignments, choosing the mess officer, Chuck Perry, to share his tent. +Ninety seconds from the

+“are you sure that we should be going this way? +Someone standing just in the lip of an alley glared at me with gleaming eyes. +“Nice, my man,” +That’s why we came here.” +“Oh, totally,” said the hunchback. +He had some rings, too. +“What do you think?” +Here, let me write down how to find him.” +He gave me a half-hearted wave that made me wonder what exactly we were chasing, and whether I should be wearing body armor. +“Okay, Nathan. +East is that way.” +On the bed was a small, ratty man. +Frankly, I don’t know if we can even doing anything against a vampire. +Sails of obscene orange and a green that insulted springtime hung draped across reds that might have been sensual elsewhere but here were only offensive. +“Why, the merchandise, of course,” +Nepthys turned to me. +“As if I wanted it,” interrupted the woman. +“One half-pint of human blood, willingly given, and his fine head of hair for the stone.” +Nepthys slapped me on the back. +“I think that our world is a reflection

place to settle down, but it’s better than waiting to get dammed.” +After she paid the driver, she grabbed my arm, laughing, and we ran down the street. +…I thought as much. +“You idiot,” +“Night

you. +“This man is here in search of his lover, who was stolen from him in the human world,” said Nepthys, ushering us toward the woman in silk. +“I have a feeling that she was worth the trade,” I added. +Nepthys could hardly believe her. +“It is. +She sat up, running her hands along her pale, round thighs. +She didn’t shed a bead of sweat, and I didn’t even see her draw a breath, but the glow around her hands shuddered like a stubborn candleflame. +I haven’t had a vampire here since you and – ” Nepthys shot a wicked look at him. +He didn’t look very surprised. +I slipped past the waving monstrosity that had blocked my view before, a mountain of wet, veined flesh, and had almost passed through the crowd when a clawed hand grabbed my arm. +I turned to keep going, but he caught my arm again. +He shot back up, hardly touching the ground, and I kicked him back. +He bashed up a set of stairs set into the side of the wall, and we chased up after him, heading up a huge staircase that seemed to go up for more stories than the building could have held. +He tossed it to me, and I just barely had it open before I saw the vampire again, turning to face me. +Then he landed heavy beside me and I scrambled to stand. +He didn’t move, just stared and held his drink. +The next time I saw them, his mouth was moving. +My girlfriend has disappeared, I don’t even know where to start looking,

Ocean Park (see page 32) is popular with children of all ages. +The Science Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui East allows children to get their hands on over half of its 500 exhibits, while the nearby Space Museum has regular screenings on an enormous Omnimax screen in its Space Theater, making the night sky come vibrantly alive. +Many stores will pack and ship purchases. +Major shopping areas are Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, especially along Nathan Road; Central on Hong Kong Island, particularly for upscale designer goods; Causeway Bay for slightly better prices; and the Hollywood Road area. +Bargain, and carefully examine any merchandise you buy here. +Hollywood Road in the Mid-Levels above Central is the most famous antiques street in Hong Kong. +Photo buffs know that Hong Kong is the place to buy some of the world’s most advanced photographic equipment, and there are some real bargains around. +However, be sure you compare prices and models before buying. +Every August young women convene to light joss sticks and some even climb the nine-meter (30-ft) rock to pray for good husbands. +The busy night-and-day crowds make this area vibrant and lively. +On Connaught Road Central, you’ll find one of Hong Kong’s curiosities, the 244-m- (800-ft-) long Mid-Levels outdoor escalator. +It’s so attractive and so easy to reach that it’s packed with sunbathers all summer long. +The waterfronts at Repulse Bay and Stanley are lined with good cafés and restaurants. +Its futuristic dome design is striking; inside are interactive exhibits, including one in which you can experience weightlessness. +Birds are favorite pets in Hong Kong, valued for their singing rather than their plumage, and here you’ll find all kinds of birds for sale as well as elaborate teak and bamboo cages. +These pleasant, but expensive, outings can lay the foundation for your own explorations aboard the cheap but usually comfortable ferries used by the islanders themselves. +Behind the church is the 1917 French Mission Building, now used as the Court of Final Appeal. +Entry procedures are similar to those in Hong Kong — most nationalities need only a passport to enter Macau. +Upon arrival in Macau, be sure to stop by the Macau Government Tourist Office for a map, brochures, and directions. +The fort, built by the Jesuits in the 17th century as a defense against the Dutch, was largely destroyed by the same fire that burned St. Paul’s. +The Handover Pavilion was meant to be a temporary structure, but public outcry ensured its preservation (located on Xian Xing Hai; open weekdays 10am–6pm, until 10pm weekends). +Look for jewelry shops along Avenida do Infante D.

what she said in my last letter? " +If I wasn't working here. +.." +Goodwill helps people get off of public assistance. +Coming to Goodwill was the first step toward my becoming totally independent. +I am now... totally off of welfare." +Goodwill prepares people for life-long employment. +Here's another story of success from what might seem like an unlikely source: Goodwill's controller, Juli. +Cornell found a number of employment options that he never dreamed existed after a work-site injury forced him out of his job at a foundry. +He trained in desktop publishing and combined his enthusiastic work ethic with new-found skills in a burgeoning industry. " +Dear , +I've got more than a job; I've got a career." +After a lifetime of trials, Donna not only earned her GED at Goodwill, she earned a job here. " +I rode a bike to Goodwill in the rain and snow. +I wanted to be there. +..I had my second chance to change my life." +Your gift to Goodwill will help the many people who want to tell their own stories of success. +Your support will help them go to work. +Please use the enclosed envelope to give a generous gift to Goodwill today! +Sincerely, +William A Carter, Chairman Goodwill Industries Foundation +P.S. +Your gift is a wise investment in the community. +For every dollar donated to Goodwill in 1998, we helped our "graduates" earn an estimated $102. +That money was then spent in a variety of ways, adding fuel to our thriving economy. +She tells me that the 3,666 people we helped find jobs in 1998 earned approximately $49 million dollars. +A few months ago you received a letter from me telling the success stories of people who got jobs with Goodwill's help. +In addition to that, by helping them find jobs, Goodwill reduced the state's Public Support tab by an estimated $4 million. +Your gift to Goodwill will help us do even more this year because your gift will be used to directly support our work. +What kind of work does Goodwill do? +Goodwill finds jobs for people with mental and physical disabilities. +After Maureen's job coach taught her how to do her job in a restaurant, we helped Maureen step out of the shadow sometimes cast over people with physical and mental disabilities and find a fulfilling job smack dab in the middle of society. +Every time we help someone find a solution to their employment barrier, the positive effects radiate throughout our community: +The business community welcomes not only another worker, but a consumer with increased purchasing power. +Parents act as role models of self-sufficiency instead of dependency. +Tax dollars that would have been spent on public assistance are saved. +You and I know that solutions to difficult problems don't just happen. +At Goodwill, it is the hard work of staff and those who benefit from our services that produces the kind of inspiring results I see every day: +A Goodwill staff member addresses a group of welfare recipients: +"You can earn the money to support yourself and your family," she says. +November 15, 1996 +I know you can... +A participant in a Goodwill program rushes back from a job interview to share the results with his classmates in our desktop publishing training program. +His job objectives call for him to do it in 30. +once his tears have subsided, he confirms what his classmates have already figured out: he just received a job offer -- his first in five years. +Addressing a meeting at a neighborhood center, a Goodwill staff member tells the audience how Goodwill can help them find and keep jobs. +At the next corner he tells five more. +In order to develop job skills, a man with some serious disabilities begins working in Goodwill's industrial division. +He has no time to waste. +It takes a long time for him to gain the self-confidence to work elsewhere in the community. +Eventually, he turns your support into a payoff for all of us. +He proudly leaves Goodwill to support himself. +These people and their successes are real. +Neither do we. +Just like the respect we've earned from U.S. News & World Report. +With the help of friends like you, Goodwill has continued to adapt our services to meet the human needs of our changing society. +Real work. +Real results. +A real difference in people's lives -- in all of our lives. +The people who can benefit most directly from your generosity have no time to waste. +Neither do the rest of us who feel the positive results of their success. +Your support helps provide real solutions. +Please use the enclosed response card and envelope to give generously to Goodwill today. +Sincerely, +Jack Dustman Board Member and Former Chairman +We don't waste time as we are helping the community. +And we don't waste money. +The gift that I am asking you to make will be used to continue our mission of helping people prepare for, find and keep jobs. +In their December, 1995 review of the nation's best charities, U.S. News & World Report called Goodwill one of the five "Standout Good Guys." +In the short while since Goodwill helped him find his job, Robert has learned to thoroughly clean a motel room in about 40 minutes. +The magazine stated that Goodwill (as well as the other standouts) is "uniquely effective, innovative or valuable." +While I appreciate U.S. News & World Report's endorsement, the true value of your support is measured by the way Goodwill takes on problems that affect all of us. +And there are a lot of people who face these challenges every day of their lives. +So our work must continue. +Everyone benefits from the work we do together. +Many people need our help. +Please continue our important partnership. +Support Goodwill with a generous donation today. +Sincerely, +James M. McClelland President +We've helped people break free of the welfare cycle. +We've found ways for people with disabilities to enter the workforce. +December 10, 1996 +We've expanded Goodwill's proven methods to towns and neighborhoods where they are needed most. +Of course, we've played different roles. +You have helped make Goodwill's work possible with your previous support. +Who has benefited from our partnership? +Everyone has. +When you and I help somebody find a job, one more person joins the ranks of tax payers, fewer tax dollars are spent on public assistance and businesses gain another consumer. +You and I have done some important work together. +There are a lot of barriers that keep people from working: physical and mental disabilities, history of welfare dependency and lack of education or self-esteem. +At last, he has found success in a job that he loves. +Now his goals are set on moving up in the company. +Every year, thousands of people come to Goodwill. +Like Michael, they share two common characteristics. +They face some barrier to employment and they want to work. +With support from people like you, they can overcome their barriers and earn success and the self-sufficiency that comes with it. +And then the pay-off begins for the entire community. +Last year, participants in Goodwill programs earned --and paid taxes on -- wages of nearly $3.5 million. +Michael Sims felt that way at age 39 -- the day he earned a job. +Their successes at work also saved taxpayers more than three-quarters of a million dollars in public assistance. +November 15, 1994 +The savings are counted in more ways than dollars and cents, however. +The families of the new wage earners may feel the accomplishment in terms of a house to live in, money to purchase food -- without food stamps -- and the beginning of a family focused on success, not hopelessness. +Won't you help make all of these successes possible? +Please send the largest contribution you can comfortably make. +Your gift will help give new meaning to the word success -- for people who have seldom had reason to use the word. +Michael was born with cerebral palsy. +Sincerely, +James M. McClelland President +P.S. +Your gift will make a difference. +For every dollar of public support Goodwill received last year, we returned $1.59 to the community in the form of earned wages and reduced public assistance payments. +Upon entering the work force, he discovered few job opportunities that seemed to match his abilities. +His most recent job lasted only a year before cut-backs eliminated his position. +For 18 long months Michael could not find a job. +Think of your greatest accomplishments. +Finally, Michael called Goodwill. +At Goodwill, Michael's counselors felt that his personable demeanor could be a major attribute and identified for him a possible job-match where his people skills could shine. +After three interviews, Michael proved that he was the right person for the job. +As the Clubhouse Monitor at Bent Tree Apartments, he now provides customer service for 50 to 60 tenants each night. +Their complaint: the system discourages working because unemployment provides benefits that many entry-level jobs don't include. +Some of the strongest critics of our welfare system are the people who have become dependent on it. +That's where you --and Goodwill --come in. +We help people train for and find jobs that make it possible for them to get off of welfare. +Last year, Goodwill placed 511 people in jobs, more than double the number we placed in 1993. +While the debate on welfare reform is gathering like a storm at sea, the people who need jobs are floundering. +We need your support to continue getting people off of public assistance. +Welfare is not the answer. +And welfare reform is an uncertain solution with an unknown starting date. +Goodwill works. +Please give the largest gift you can to Goodwill today. +Sincerely, Jack Dustman Chairman +With unemployment at its lowest point in years in central Indiana, many people still have a hard time finding meaningful employment. +Some, like Jerry, are ex-offenders. +Some are blind, deaf or have other physical disabilities. +With a promising new job at a plastic injection molding manufacturer, his legal troubles in check and a safe place to live, Jerry can get on with the business of building a life for himself and contributing to his community. +March 17, 2000 +For as long as he needs it, Goodwill will continue to help. +Your support of Goodwill will provide job training and placement services to help the hardest to serve in central Indiana find meaningful employment. +Please make an investment in the stability of our community by sending a gift to Goodwill. +Your generosity will help people help themselves. +Sincerely, +James M. McClelland President +Reality hit when he was unable to reconcile with his wife and ended up on the street. +Name Address City, ST, Zip +He went to the Center Township Trustee for food stamps until he could find a job and a place to live. +The Trustee referred him to the Blue Triangle where he consulted Goodwill's Career Academy staff for job search assistance. +Dear Name: +Jerry's Goodwill caseworker found him a job immediately. +But Jerry's troubles didn't end there. +The seasonal construction job he obtained soon ended, and he returned to Career Academy for help once more. +When Jerry was released from prison, he knew it would take hard work and determination to straighten out his life. +Unemployed, homeless and with a prison record, Jerry now faced going back to prison for failure to pay child support. +Such fund are often used for college tuition, vocational training or a deposit on an apartment. +Please take a few minutes to send a donation to help one or more of our children successfully cross that threshold into the future. +Sincerely, +Mary Roth Executive Director +The young adults who leave Pleasant Run have those same feelings. +June 21, 1999 +Very few have family support to get them started. +Many need furniture, linens and other basic necessities to begin lives on their own. +Name Address City, ST Zip +To help them establish themselves in the community, the Pleasant Run Emancipation fund was begun in 1993 by private donors who wanted to provide a measure of financial support for those leaving our programs. +Individuals who are being emancipated are eligible to receive up to $500 from the Fund if they formally apply and meet four requirements: +Dear , +1.

Positive termination of his or her Pleasant Run program +4. Possession of a high school diploma or GED +Proof of meeting these, two staff reference letters and an essay stating why they should receive a grant and how it will be used are all reviewed by a Pleasant Run panel, which determines if the applicant merits the funds. +Then the task was to help children who lost parents in the Civil War. +Today, we serve children and families with a multitude of problems: emotional, physical, psychological and sexual abuse. +Some come from families where, through therapy, there is hope for reunification. +For others, "families" are the counselors are housemates at the group homes where they live. +Little ones, like Baby Jessica, caught in the struggle between adoptive and birth parents. +In 1995 we will serve over 850 children and 340 families. +In 1996, these figures will triple. +They welcome the chance to belong, to become self- sufficient, to regain their self-esteem and confidence. +November 27, 1995 +Often it is a long, hard struggle, but the results are well worth it. +For Pleasant Run to continue to serve abused and neglected children and their families, we need your support. +The Funding sources are shrinking, but the needs grow explosively. +Please "help good kids get better" by sending us a contribution today. +Your gift will give children and families hope for improved tomorrows. +Sincerely, +Older kids, like Tracy and Kerry, left homeless after a recent murder-suicide in Indianapolis claimed Mom and Dad. +Young adults, like Mary T., a jobless mother of three, trying desperately to keep her kids out of trouble in a crime-ridden neighborhood. +Dear Friend: +Real people! +Families are being torn apart, and too often, children are the victims. +What kind of people benefit by your contribution to Pleasant Run Children's Homes? +Kids like Tommie J., made a ward of the court because of repeated beatings by an alcoholic father; +Alice, sent to a group home to get help because of severe behavior disorders; +and John H., a recovering alcoholic, rebuilding a relationships with his family so they can live together again. +Pleasant Run Children's Homes began serving children nearly 130 years ago. +For some, it's a matter of weeks or months; +for others, it's years. +They leave Pleasant Run, generally, ready and able to contribute to society. +We're proud of our children and all that they overcome. +We are a not-for-profit, multi-service agency. +We wouldn't exist if the need weren't there. +The numbers of children who deserve our services are rising... as quickly as our programs can grow to serve them. +Please help us help them. +Pleasant Run Children's Homes... "where good kids get better." +Sincerely, +Mary Roth Tom Hirschauer +June 26, 1995 +Federal, state and local governments are freezing or withdrawing much-needed funding sources for people who are truly in need. +We all hear about today's increases in neglect, abuse and abandonment of those who can't fight back: children. +This is not newsletter. +Yet few of us hear enough about kids who live through these adversities and do make the grade. +The positive side. +They come into a Pleasant Run program... +whether it's for therapeutic help in their own homes (which nurtures whole families), through foster care families or in the familial surroundings of our residential homes. +Your contribution will make a difference in a child's life. +It may help a family stay together. +It can certainly make happy holiday memories. +A gift to Pleasant Run means the children in our care will have presents to open. +A gift means a family will have a holiday meal, cooking utensils to prepare the meal and dishes to serve it on. +Your gift will go beyond the holiday season. +It can help purchase clothing, school supplies, books and educational tools throughout the year. +Please take a few minutes to mail a donation to Pleasant run. +Let our families and children know that you want them to have the same kinds of memories of the holidays you will have. +We wish you and your family a new year full of joy and love. +Dear Friends of Pleasant Run: +Mary Roth Executive Director +This is the time of year when we give thanks for the warmth and love that surrounds us. +And this time of year is an occasion to remember those not as fortunate as we are. +Pleasant Run cares for at-risk children and families. +The holiday season is the time of year when we're all busy buying gifts, baking goodies, decorating our homes and making arrangements to be with family and friends. +Many of the children are victims of abuse or live in unstable homes. +Today we are asking you to take a few minutes to consider making a contribution to Pleasant Run to help the 1,500 children families we care for. +Many of the children have no homes; no memories of joy from past holidays. +If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Lisa Lusk or Marcia Whited at 693-9222. +We would like to have families matched with sponsors non later than xxxx. +Thank you for considering this opportunity to make this a memorable holiday season for a family in need. +Sincerely, +It's hard to believe that the holiday season is only two months away. +Every year we seek companies, organizations and individuals to sponsor one or more of our families. +These families are participants in our community-based programs. +These programs focus on keeping the family together by providing counseling and other services to the entire family. +After our caseworkers meet with these families and their children they often find they lack even the basic necessities such as cooking utensils, beds, cleaning supplies, etc. +We meet these needs immediately. +But, the holiday season is a particularly difficult time for these families. +They do not have the resources necessary to purchase gifts or food for a holiday meal. +At Pleasant Run, Inc. we are making plans and arrangements for our children and families. +It costs $225 to send one child to camp. +Many members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis can't afford to go to camp without financial assistance, and that's why we need you! +Yes, it's that time of the year -- the start of the Boys & Girls clubs of Indianapolis' Camp. +Consider sponsoring 1, 2, or 3 children. +Sincerely, +Richard Dickinson +You can make a difference in a child's life. +Sponsor a child at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis' summer camp today! +Six weeks of learning and exploring, sports, arts, and fellowship. +A time for a youngster to enjoy the fun and benefits of residential camp living, dedicated staff and instruction, and a chance to make special friends. +I know you're committed to ensuring today's children have safe, healthy, and positive summer experiences. +That's why I want you to learn more about the Super Summer Safari Camp. +At Super Summer Safari Camp, there are daily sports, nature, and arts activities. +Dear Friend, +In addition to the fun stuff, important life-skills such as self-esteem, leadership, and interpersonal cooperation are being developed. +It's summertime, so it must be time for CAMP! +Please read the enclosed brochure for more information on the wonderful Super Summer Safari Camp! +We are counting on you now to help us get where we need to be tomorrow. +Would you please consider a gift of the same in 1999?

Brandon, President MCCOY, Inc. +Participants in the Youth Outcomes Educational Initiative identified three goals for all our youth to obtain: economic self-sufficiency, healthy family, social relationships, and involvement in the community. +A short time later, the Community Youth Mapping Project sent 55 young people out into the community to identify the resources they need to grow up well: caring adults, safe places to go, and positive things to do. +It is our goal that every young person in Marion County have access to the programs and services that can best assist them in their growth toward a positive adulthood. +I am hopeful that you as an individual and Meridian Insurance as a corporation might consider becoming sustaining supporters of MCCOY. +I have enclosed a packet of information about MCCOY and its work as well as an application with various options for supporting the youth of our community. +I obviously can't tell the whole story of MCCOY in a single letter but I hope this provides an overview of the scope of our work. +I will call you in a few weeks to discuss your level of interest. +Please consider joining together with your fellow citizens in support of the work of the Marion County Commission on Youth. +January 5, 1997 +Sincerely, +John Brandon Executive Director +As you begin that process this year, I would like to ask you to consider helping young people in Marion County toward more positive youth development by becoming a supporter of the Marion County Commission on Youth, Inc. +Name Address City, ST Zip +MCCOY Inc., originally founded as a government agency but re-organized in 1993 as an independent not-for-profit, is a county-wide youth services coordinating, planning, and convening agency. +Its purpose is to encourage collaboration and cooperation between the various agencies, programs, and systems that serve our community's youth. +Dear Bill: +In addition to that behind-the-scenes role, MCCOY has taken an out-front role in developing a Summer Bus Pass, neighborhood youth councils, and the We Value Youth information line. +This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to ways to do things differently, things that will make our lives better and improve the quality of our life. +The formation of The Community Academy, a pilot project directed at expelled students from local school systems, has come about as a result of MCCOY's efforts to mobilize community agencies in response to a pressing issue. +McCoy is actively represented and working with numerous community collaborations where we regularly raise our voice to speak out for the inclusion of young people in both decision-making and program planning processes. +One concrete example is a joint project undertaken in the United Northwest Area in partnership with The Junior League of Indianapolis and Community Partnerships with Youth from Fort Wayne, Indiana. +October 7, 1996 +Since its re-organization, MCCOY has established its unique niche within the community by refraining from direct service programming and focusing on what it does best: helping to identify youth needs, convening groups of individuals and organizations which can address those needs, and moving toward collaborative solutions. +MCCOY was reorganized as an independent, not-for-profit agency, separate from local government. +McCoy has only one interest: the well being of Marion County's young people. +---- the co-ordination of youth leadership training and youth empowerment efforts at the neighborhood level by means of neighborhood-based youth councils; +---- the promotion of youth employment opportunities; +---- the development of community-wide supports for the positive growth of all Marion County young people. +In the last several years, the business and corporate community has recognized that the positive development of youth is directly related to the development of a competent workforce. +It retained, however, the same mission with which it had been charged from its inception: to serve as a catalyst for effective, coordinated, and collaborative service delivery to youth in our community. +Youth who are supported and encouraged by both a family and a society that values Them have a much greater likelihood of becoming productive and contributing members of adult society. +While we have made significant inroads, there remains much to be done and it is clear that we cannot do it alone. +Name Address City, ST Zip +In our fund raising efforts to date, we have received the support of local government, foundations, and corporations as well as the personal financial commitments of individual MCCOY Board members. +We believe there is no more appropriate time to have a coordinated and collaborative effort to financially support the services MCCOY offers to the community as a whole. +Sincerely, +John T. Neighbours Philip B. Roby President Treasurer +For the past three years, MCCOY has been actively engaged in accomplishing this declared mission in cooperation with many others: youth service providers, youth, funding bodies, and interested citizens to name a few. +Dear Name: +We have met with a number of successes along the way, most notably the Summer Fun Line, the Metro Summer Bus Pass, and the development of ten neighborhood youth councils. +In the summer of 1993, the Marion County Commission on Youth began what can best be described as a "new era" in its history. +A Providers Council and a Youth Coalition are building relationships that will hopefully bear great fruit in the years to come. +One of us will call you to discuss how your company can become an important highly visible partner with the JCC in support of our scholarship programs. +If you have any questions, please feel free to call Myrna Weinberger at 251-9467, ext. 256. +Thank you in advance for your consideration. +The 9th annual JCC Auction will benefit the numerous scholarship programs of the Jewish Community Center of Indianapolis, a United Way agency. +Sincerely, Judy Laikin, Chair Auction '99 Sponsor Committee +Because you are an organization that cares, you are invited to become an integral part of this fabulous event by becoming a corporate sponsor for JCC Auction '99. +Dear +The JCC would be very pleased to welcome your organization as a corporate sponsor. +Join us for the "Sale of the Century" at JCC Auction '99, on Saturday, November 13, 1999. +As a sponsor, you and your guests will have a special evening, knowing that your tax deductible contribution will help support preschool, childcare, senior and resettlement services, as well as quality cultural events in our community. +Enclosed is a corporate sponsorship package that includes a sample auction book from last year's event, JCC market statistics and an overview of the many programs that will be preserved and strengthened through your generous support. +One of us will call you to discuss how your company can continue to be an important, highly visible partner with the JCC in support of our scholarship programs. +If you have any questions, please feel free to call Myrna Weinberger at 251-9467, ext. 256. +Thank you in advance for your consideration. +The 9th annual JCC Auction will benefit the numerous scholarship programs of the Jewish Community Center of Indianapolis, a United Way agency. +Sincerely, +Judy Laikin, Chair Auction '99 Sponsor Committee +October 27, 1998 +Because you are an organization that cares, you are invited once again to be an integral part of this fabulous event as a corporate sponsor for JCC Auction '99. +Dear Name: +We are so grateful for your generous contribution to last year's auction. +Join us for the "Sale of the Century" at JCC Auction '99, on Saturday, November 13, 1999. +As a sponsor, you and your guests will have a special evening, knowing that your tax deductible contribution will help support preschool, childcare, senior and resettlement services, as well as quality cultural events in our community. +Enclosed is a corporate sponsorship package that includes a sample of your ad from last year's auction book, current JCC market statistics and an overview of the many JCC programs that will be preserved and strengthened through your generous support. +Over 150 girls are currently waiting for a Big Sister. +You can make an impact by supporting Big Sisters Annual Campaign and our $200,000 goal. +We know that children do better when they have a network of caring adults to nurture and motivate them. +If you are a regular contributor to the Annual Campaign, I encourage you to consider increasing your gift by 10%. +If you have not supported Big Sisters in the past, please join me in doing so by completing and returning the enclosed pledge form. +Early adolescence is the most vulnerable age for youth. +It's the perfect time to make a world of difference. +Sincerely, +Name Address City, State, Zip +Big Sisters helps bridge that gap by providing children with the resources they need -- Big Sisters volunteers. +Big Sisters are mentors and friends who empower girls to more fully reach their potential, experience life's opportunities and perhaps begin to dream. +Dear Name, +The relationships that are formed provide strong foundations from which healthy values and strong self-confidence can grow, helping youth become strong, independent adults of tomorrow. +It's tough growing up today. +This is an impressive number;

Tony Hall visit the country next week to assess a humanitarian crisis that has festered since the Gulf War of 1990, Hall's office said Monday. +In 1996 the WHO found that much of the population existed in a state of ``semi starvation.'' +Hall will be only the second member of Congress to travel in Iraq since the war, according to Hall's office. +Iraq clears visit by Ohio official +The Iraqi government blames the embargo for the malnutrition, infant mortality and other hardships. +The sanctions cannot be lifted until U.N. inspectors certify that Iraq has eliminated its weapons of mass destruction and the means to produce them. +At least one other congressman has visited Iraq. +Energy Secretary Bill Richardson went to Baghdad in 1995 while a representative for New Mexico. +Hall, an Ohio Democrat and one of very few U.S. congressmen to visit Iraq since the 1991 Gulf War over Kuwait, is scheduled to embark Sunday the 12-hour overland trip to the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. +He did not speak to reporters in Jordan, but he told The Associated Press before leaving the United States that he hopes to "separate the humanitarian work from the political issues." +AMMAN, Jordan (AP) +During his four days in Iraq, Hall said he wanted to investigate reports from relief agencies that a quarter of Iraqi children may be suffering from chronic malnutrition. +U.S. Representative Tony Hall arrived in Jordan on Saturday en route to Iraq, where he is expected to look into the plight of Iraqis after nearly 10 years of U.N. trade sanctions. +He said he would pay particular attention to what happens to food and medicine entering the country under the U.N. oil-for-food program. +If supplies are not reaching the people who need them, Hall said, he wanted to find out whether the United Nations or relief agencies needed to handle things differently, or whether "Iraq needs to get out of the way and let us do the job." +Ohio Congressman Arrives in Jordan +Iraq says the United States and Britain hold up delivery of needed supplies, using their clout in the United Nations. +A U.S. lawmaker assessing the impact of U.N. sanctions on Iraq said Wednesday it is important not only to force Baghdad to give up its weapons of mass destruction but also to do more to ease the hardships on ordinary Iraqis. +The U.S. government says it wants to ensure that Iraq is not buying items that appear to be humanitarian in nature but that could be used for making weapons. +By HASSAN ABDULWAHAB, Associated Press Writer +"It was very, very important" to compel Iraq to rid itself of weapons of mass destruction so that "it cannot use or export them to other countries," he told Associated Press Television News. +But he insisted the international community can do a much better job in helping Iraq deal with its economic and health problems. +One way would be to speed up the flow of health supplies and other urgent commodities to the country under a U.N. humanitarian program, he said. +BASRA, Iraq (AP) +Lawmaker Appeals for Innocent Iraqis +The United States cut virtually all military links with Indonesia in 1999 after its forces were implicated in the violence that swept East Timor after that territory voted for independence. +"We recognized that terrorism is a global threat and that the disturbing acts of terrorism and transnational crimes, which continue to threaten world peace and stability, must be tackled by the international community," +"We recognized that terrorism is a global threat and that the disturbing acts of terrorism and transnational crimes, which continue to threaten world peace and stability, must be tackled by the international community," the ministers said in a communique on Tuesday. +Powell is among the representatives from 13 nations outside Southeast Asia, including China, Japan and Russia, that are taking part in the annual meeting of the group's regional forum. +Terrorism dominates the agenda, though the possibility of a meeting here between Powell and his North Korean counterpart, Paek Nam Sun, has generated the most news. +It would be the highest-level contact between the United States and North Korea since President Bush took office. +Powell heads to Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, late on Thursday before finishing a weeklong trip through the region in the Philippines on Saturday. +The committee's action comes six months after federal prosecutors ended a lengthy criminal investigation into Torricelli's activities without filing criminal charges. +He said that when he arrives in Jakarta, he will have "some ideas and some initiatives" to present to President Megawati Sukarnoputri. +"some ideas and some initiatives" +Indonesia is already receiving $400,000 in the current fiscal year for civilian training programs and is to receive a like amount next year; and the United States expects to provide an additional $16 million this year to train police officers in counterterrorism. +"counterterrorism fellowships," +But a senior State Department official also acknowledged that some in the administration and Congress are pushing for more direct military cooperation, which would require congressional approval. +"I think they recognize the danger that we all face and I think they have been cooperating more fully with us as time goes by, and I'm quite sure that Mrs. Megawati is committed to this cause," +"I think they recognize the danger that we all face and I think they have been cooperating more fully with us as time goes by, and I'm quite sure that Mrs. Megawati is committed to this cause," Powell said in Singapore. +He met there with Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, who endorsed the idea of renewed military ties between the United States and Indonesia as an important step in stabilizing that country. +Powell contended that it was not inconsistent to want to foster cooperation even with an organization like the Indonesian military, which has a history of human rights abuses. +"If you get young officers, expose them to a military organization that is within a democratic political institution, such as the United States, then that rubs off on them," +In Malaysia, Powell met with Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who has led the country since 1981. +The Malaysian foreign minister, Syed Hamid Albar, later told local reporters that Powell had proposed that American and Malaysian officials review the idea of forming a regional training center in Malaysia to coordinate antiterrorism activities. +The ethics panel, to which evidence from the criminal case was forwarded, concluded its review just as Torricelli is gearing up his campaign for re-election against the Republican candidate, Douglas R. Forrester. +His brief stop in Malaysia also highlighted the moral ambiguities of the effort to prevent terrorism and its emphasis on cooperation with governments that the United States has often criticized. +The United States once distanced itself from Mahathir for strong-arm tactics with political rivals, and human rights groups criticize him for arresting and jailing scores of suspected militants, including some who may be linked to al-Qaida, without trial. +Powell said his discussions with Mahathir "touched on the case" of his former deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, who is serving a 15-year sentence on charges of sodomy and abuse of power after trials that Powell said the United States had "always felt" were flawed. +The assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, James Kelly, met on Tuesday morning with Anwar's wife, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, for what she later told Malaysian reporters was a discussion about both the detention of her husband and six supporters, and the campaign against terrorism. +"severely admonished" +Microsoft plans to announce on Wednesday a partnership with AT&T Wireless Services to offer software for wireless devices and services, a person close to the talks said Tuesday night. +The deal would be part of Microsoft's drive to sign up wireless carriers to use its so-called smart phone software -- a pared-down version of the Windows operating system -- and services that Microsoft is developing as part of its .Net Internet strategy. +Neither Microsoft nor AT&T Wireless would comment. +The main market for the Microsoft-AT&T partnership is expected to be business customers. +Microsoft's efforts to persuade wireless carriers to use its cell phone operating system have struggled. +It has run into particular opposition from companies aligned with Nokia, which has developed a competing software. +But Microsoft's potential advantage, analysts say, is its ability to link its cell phone software to its desktop PC software, a Microsoft stronghold. +After months in which polls showed Torricelli well ahead of his relatively unknown Republican rival, the contest has narrowed in recent weeks. +Customers who want access to Microsoft desktop e-mail, documents and calendar information may prefer Microsoft's wireless technology. +In recent months, Microsoft has announced partnerships with wireless carriers like Verizon and Sprint PCS. +Less than three weeks after outfielder Cliff Floyd was imported to Montreal to play a pivotal part in the Expos' playoff plans, he was traded to Boston Tuesday night to try his hand in what the Red Sox hope will be their postseason plans. +Floyd did not produce the kind of offense the Expos expected from him, so Omar Minaya, the Expos' aggressive rookie general manager, turned around and sent him to the Red Sox in exchange two South Korean pitchers and a player yet to be named. +The teams made the deal less than 24 hours before Tuesday's 4 p.m. +deadline for making trades without first getting waivers on players. +Minaya obtained Floyd from the Florida Marlins on July 11, only two weeks after he stunned baseball by acquiring Bartolo Colon from Cleveland. +Colon has won four of five decisions for the Expos, but Floyd batted only .208 for them while hitting three home runs, including one Tuesday night, and driving in four runs. +With the Marlins Floyd bated .287, hit 18 home runs and drove in 57 runs. +The Expos, who had a 46-41 record when they made their first Floyd deal, had only a 7-12 record with him on the team, dropping from 9 1/2 games behind Atlanta in the National League East to as many as 16 games back. +It was the first time that the Senate Ethics Committee had voted to take action against a senator since 1995, when it recommended that Bob Packwood, an Oregon Republican, be expelled on the ground of sexual and official misconduct. +Floyd can be a free agent after this season, and Minaya decided it would be more prudent to trade him and get value in return than have to settle for a draft choice or two as compensation when he signed with another team as a free agent. +The Expos acquired Sun Woo-kim and Seung Jun-song. +The Red Sox signed him in 1997. +Song is a 22-year-old right-hander from Pusan. +The Red Sox signed him in 1999. +The Red Sox wanted to bolster their offense. +They led the Yankees for most of the first three months of the season but then slipped behind them in the American League East. +Earlier in the day Tuesday, one member of the Red Sox organization was not sure they would be able to get Floyd. +"I don't know that he's that serious about moving him," +"I don't know that he's that serious about moving him," the person said of Minaya. +But as the day wore on, the Red Sox tried harder and by Tuesday night were able to get the player they wanted for their lineup. +With the barrage of crack cocaine-connected killings in the 1980s came the realization that young people were too often full-fledged players in the violence. +That was more evident here than in any other city, said George Starke, who after his career as an offensive tackle with the Washington Redskins from 1973 to 1984 stuck around and decided to make this place more than his home. +"There was death in D.C. throughout the '80s and into the '90s, and there was death everywhere," +"There was death in D.C. throughout the '80s and into the '90s, and there was death everywhere," said Starke, who was reared in New Rochelle, N.Y., and played at Columbia. +"It wasn't like New York's or Boston's organized crime. +"It wasn't like New York's or Boston's organized crime.

Stack, the company's managing director. +"This is the Mona Lisa of coins," said Beth Deisher, editor of Coin World, the largest weekly coin publication in the United States, with a circulation of 85,000. +"It is unique. +"It is unique. Forbidden fruit." +Forbidden fruit." +Collectors' Web sites have surged with speculation about the sale price, and enthusiasts even organized betting pools. +On Tuesday night, Redden took the podium for nine minutes before the gavel came down, recognizing bidders in the audience and on the telephone. +The tension in the crowd was broken with a burst of applause after the $5 million mark, and a louder explosion at $6 million. +The rumor in the crowd had been that "anything under $6 million would be a bargain," said Ute Wartenberg, executive director of the American Numismatic Society in Manhattan. +"anything under $6 million would be a bargain," +Most bidders dropped out after that price. +The sale price of $6.6 million, when added to the commission, totaled $7.59 million. +The auction attendance was swelled by coin collectors who had gathered on the eve of the American Numismatic Association Convention, the largest coin show of the year, expected to draw more than 10,000 people to the Marriott Marquis Hotel Wednesday. +"So the auction was almost like the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the convention," +"So the auction was almost like the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the convention," Stack said. +Fore of the mint said the high price for the coin was reached "because it is one of a kind, it is beautiful and it has a great story." +The coin was the only 1933 double eagle that has ever been legally offered for sale, and its Maltese Falconesque history only recently came to light, thanks to documents unearthed during the five-year legal battle over its ownership. +In 1792, it was deemed that all gold and silver U.S. coins would bear the depiction of an eagle, but gold pieces were issued only after a gold rush boom in 1850. +They were called double eagles because their face value was twice that of the original $10 gold piece. +Torricelli also insisted that he had not done any unusual favors for Chang, who first turned to the senator in 1995 for help in winning the repayment of some $71 million he said he was then owed in a failed business deal with the North Korean government. +Following the suggestion of President Theodore Roosevelt, the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens redesigned the coin in 1907 in high relief, forever after giving the coins the designation "saints." +"saints." +But in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt took the United States off the gold standard, and ordered all the 1933 saints already manufactured destroyed, save for two reserved for the Smithsonian Institution. +They were never declared legal currency. +Presumably after being stolen by a mint employee, nine double eagles surfaced during the mid-1940s and 1950s. +They were seized by the Secret Service and melted down. +But before these coins came to light, the royal legation of Egypt turned up with one at the Department of the Treasury, and somehow got an official to issue an export license for the coin to enhance the collection of King Farouk. +By the time that blunder was discovered, the coin had left the United States. +In 1954, after the king was deposed, his coins were sold at auction and the double eagle vanished. +It went underground until it came to Fenton in 1995. +His arrest in Manhattan, after attempting to sell the coin for $1.5 million, led to a court battle over whether -- thanks to the Treasury's mistaken export permission in 1944 -- the coin could be legally owned. +The coin once again escaped destruction when it was moved from the Treasury Department vault in 7 World Trade Center eight months before the building collapsed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. +The record price was seen as a gift by coin collectors. +"Many people believe that our great coin rarities are vastly undervalued in comparison to old master paintings," +"Many people believe that our great coin rarities are vastly undervalued in comparison to old master paintings," Deisher said. +In a ceremony after

Cuomo, McCall's opponent, by offering voters a straightforward introduction to the candidate, emphasizing his long list of high-level jobs in both the public and private sector. +It also emphasizes leadership, an important campaign issue after Sept. 11. +At the same time it gives McCall a chance to intertwine his boot-straps story with the broader issue of children and education, a priority of many Democratic voters. +The New Jersey Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned the death sentence of Leslie Ann Nelson, a transsexual go-go dancer who killed a police officer and an investigator with an AK-47 rifle. +The court, vacating Nelson's death sentence for the second time, ruled on two grounds: that the jury could have been confused by instructions on the verdict sheet and that the prosecutor made improper accusations in his closing argument. +Nelson, 44, had been the only woman of 14 people on New Jersey's death row. +The ruling, which does not affect Nelson's guilty plea, sends the case back to the trial court for resentencing. +The state attorney general's office has not decided whether to seek the death penalty again, a spokesman, Peter Aseltine, said Tuesday. +The court upheld the sentence of another death row inmate, Robert O. Marshall, convicted of arranging the murder of his wife at a picnic area on the Garden State Parkway. +In its 5-to-0 decision in the Nelson case, the court showed continuing uneasiness with the death penalty, as it has done even since adopting a voluminous set of review procedures in 1999 to govern capital cases. +Justice James R. Zazzali and Justice Virginia Long said in a separate opinion that in addition to the reasons given in the majority opinion, also written by Zazzali, they believed the death penalty would constitute cruel and unusual punishment because of Nelson's history of emotional disturbance. +Zazzali and Long had expressed similar reservations in June 2001 when the court overturned the death sentence of Thomas J. Koskovich, who was 18 when he killed two pizza deliverymen in an ambush. +The majority opinion Tuesday said the court would impose higher standards in capital cases when reviewing prosecutors' conduct and possibly ambiguous jury instructions. +While all five members of the majority found the instructions to the jury on weighing aggravating and mitigating factors to be confusing, two of those justices wrote in a partial dissent that the prosecutor's statements in his summation about the defense's expert witnesses were within the bounds of acceptable argument. +The committee did not confirm some of the most serious allegations, including Chang's claim that he gave Torricelli tens of thousands of dollars in cash. +Two of the court's members, Chief Justice Deborah T. Poritz and Justice Peter G. Verniero, did not participate in the Nelson case because both are former attorneys general. +Nelson, born Glenn Nelson, had severe psychological problems and a history of reclusive behavior into adulthood, and was convicted on a weapons charge in 1988. +After undergoing sex change surgery in 1992, she pursued a career as an exotic dancer. +She pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to death by a jury in 1997. +The Supreme Court overturned that sentence in July 1998, ruling that the prosecution had failed to disclose important information to the jury. +A second jury sentenced Nelson to death in March 2001. +In Marshall's case, the 5-1 decision upheld a lower court's dismissal of his petition for further review of his 1986 murder conviction. +Marshall, an insurance agent from Toms River, was convicted of hiring a man to kill his wife while the couple were going home after an evening of dining and gambling in Atlantic City. +The case was the subject of Joe McGinniss' best-selling book "Blind Faith." +"Blind Faith." +The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31: +The committee said it had weighed the fact that Torricelli's principal accuser in the case had been Chang, "a witness whose credibility has been called into question by the Department of Justice, a United States District judge and his own conduct." +President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt describes himself as America's leading Arab ally. +Yet his anti-democratic behavior is an embarrassment to Washington and an affront to his own people. +The latest example is Monday's re-sentencing of Saad Eddin Ibrahim, a sociologist and human rights activist, to seven years in prison for his efforts to register voters, monitor elections and report attacks on Egypt's Coptic Christians. +The verdict should be annulled, not just on humanitarian grounds but because his prosecution is an abrogation of the most basic standards of justice. +Ibrahim's harsh punishment sends a chilling message to Egyptians yearning for a more accountable and tolerant society. +Egyptian courts are neither fair nor independent. +Like every other government institution, they hew closely to Mubarak's wishes. +That is especially true of the State Security Court that ruled in this case. +"a witness whose credibility has been called into question by the Department of Justice, a United States District judge and his own conduct." +Nor is it likely his sentence would have been reaffirmed if Mubarak believed that convicting an American citizen for promoting democracy and human rights might jeopardize his own standing with the Bush administration and the $2 billion annual American subsidy that keeps his government afloat. +That aid bonanza was granted to reward Mubarak's predecessor, Anwar Sadat, for signing a peace treaty with Israel. +Washington has never demanded good governance and democracy from Cairo in return. +In recent months President Bush has spoken of the need to promote democracy in the Arab world. +It is time to extend this policy to Egypt. +While hardly the worst example of dictatorship in the Middle East, Egypt is one of the saddest. +It is a country with a long and glorious history, a substantial middle class, a peace treaty with Israel and large quantities of American aid. +Under Mubarak it has squandered economic and diplomatic opportunities and relentlessly stifled political debate. +Its official media are awash in anti-American and anti-Semitic propaganda. +The State Department and American officials in Cairo have issued diplomatically phrased protests of Ibrahim's trial and sentence. +What is needed is a message delivered personally by Bush and other top officials not only about the inexcusable treatment of Ibrahim but of the contemptuous approach to democratic values. +In May, that judge sentenced sentenced Chang to 18 months' imprisonment for obstructing justice and making $53,700 in illegal campaign contributions to Torricelli's 1996 Senate campaign. +The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31: +Responding to a wave of public dismay over the first designs for rebuilding Lower Manhattan, Gov. George Pataki has sent word that it's time to go back to the drawing board. +It is the right message, sent while it is still early enough to do something constructive about the disappointing quality of the work so far. +The governor, like Mayor Michael Bloomberg, now seems committed to creating a better mix of uses for ground zero, and a 24-hour community in Manhattan's downtown. +While rethinking the plans will delay the original rebuilding schedule slightly, it does not need to stall progress if the governor keeps the pressure on the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. +and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. +Pataki openly questioned the Port Authority's requirement that any plan for the site replace all the office, hotel and retail square footage lost in the attack on Sept. 11. +Renegotiating that issue with the World Trade Center leaseholders should begin immediately. +The city also needs to begin openly discussing what happens underground, in particular with the transportation network. +At this point, planners have focused on short-term repair of PATH and subway lines, with medium-range proposals being shopped in Washington that could untangle the disorganized web of subway lines downtown. +But at the time of Chang's sentencing, the judge, Alfred M. Wolin, also said the businessman had cooperated closely with federal investigators, providing them with information that was "material and credible." +Within the next few weeks the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. +and the Port Authority should offer some bigger ideas about how to connect the downtown area better to the rest of the region. +Lowering West Street alongside the World Trade Center site and building a park or esplanade on top is another option that has been popular with those reviewing the first six public proposals. +But it would be expensive, and the governor, the mayor and their friends in Washington will have to look at long-range ways to pay the bill. +Pataki's recent remarks are a sign that he understands how central the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan will be to his own political legacy. +Now he needs to follow through with action, to keep demonstrating that his core concern is coming up with the best possible plan, not simply keeping the issue on hold until after this fall's election. +The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31: +President Bush has now unveiled his long-awaited "Clear Skies" proposal, which he promises will simplify and strengthen the Clean Air Act without crippling American industry. +A debate on how to make the 32-year-old Clean Air Act a stronger and more efficient instrument is surely long overdue. +But the Bush plan falls well short of the only other credible proposal on the table, a bill sponsored by Sen. James Jeffords, Independent of Vermont. +Like Jeffords, the president calls for substantial reductions in three major pollutants -- the nitrogen oxides that produce smog, sulfur dioxide, which causes acid rain, and mercury. +But he ignores emissions of carbon dioxide, the main global warming gas. +That is a huge omission. +Even for the pollutants he addresses, Bush's timetable is too leisurely. +He aims to reduce all three by 70 percent by 2018. +"material and credible." +The Jeffords proposal would make the same sizable reductions by 2008. +Finally, the Bush proposal would roll back key provisions of the existing Clean Air Act that Jeffords would keep. +Bush argues that the regulatory mechanisms he has in mind for reaching Clear Skies' goals, chiefly a market-based emissions trading scheme, will be so effective that the need for many existing rules will disappear. +The ethics committee has the power to punish lawmakers with sanctions ranging from public or private letters of admonition to censure or expulsion. +This page has long embraced emissions trading as an essential tool for reducing pollution at manageable cost. +But some regulations, aimed at specific regional problems that nationwide trading alone is unable to address, cannot lightly be abandoned. +Indeed, Bush has already made clear his intention to roll back one of the most important of these regulations, a provision known as new source review that compels utilities to install modern pollution controls whenever they significantly upgrade older plants. +The 1970 Clean Air Act is a landmark statute, deserving of thoughtful improvement. +The Bush bill, as written, is not the way to get there. +In Torricelli's case, it acted without conducting a full investigation, saying the case had been exhaustively scrutinized by federal authorities. +"This matter was far more serious than what the committee found," +"This matter was far more serious than what the committee found," Simon said. +According to two government officials involved in the inquiry, the Ethics Committee received a vast amount of information from federal investigators, some of it under a court order issued in March. +That information included witness statements, store receipts and other documents indicating that Chang had paid for expensive items given to Torricelli, his sister, one of his longtime aides, Roberta Stern, and one of Torricelli's former girlfriends, Judy D. Balaban. +The committee's letter did not mention Chang's reported gifts to Torricelli of an $8,100 Rolex watch, about a dozen Italian-made suits and a $3,816 antique grandfather clock. +Nor did it cite a $1,590 Oriental carpet that Chang gave to Torricelli's former wife, Susan Holloway Torricelli. +"Your actions and failure to act led to violations of Senate rules (and related statutes) and created at least the appearance of impropriety," +"Your actions and failure to act led to violations of Senate rules (and related statutes) and created at least the appearance of impropriety," the three Democrats and three Republicans on the committee said in a three-page letter to Torricelli. +A government official involved in the inquiry said that evidence of those gifts was either incomplete or the subject of conflicting accounts by different witnesses. +The committee confirmed Torricelli's claims he had made partial repayments to Chang for two gifts: a large-screen television and a stereo compact-disc player. +But it said the senator had showed "poor judgment" by failing to reimburse him for the full market value of the gifts. +"poor judgment" +A person familiar with Torricelli's testimony to the committee said he had told its members that he repaid the "wholesale" cost of the appliances because Chang told him that was what he had paid. +"wholesale" +The statues, the existence of which had not been publicly known before, were displayed in Torricelli's Senate office. +Finally, the committee appeared to have discounted Torricelli's contention that he was not responsible for expensive earrings that Chang had given as Christmas gifts to his sister, Stern and Balaban. +The senator's belief "that such items were of little value or were not gifts to you under the circumstances" displayed poor judgment and violated Senate gift rules, the panel found. +"that such items were of little value or were not gifts to you under the circumstances" +According to a government official involved in the inquiry, the information reviewed by the Ethics Committee also included an analysis by federal investigators showing that during the period in which Chang claimed to have made numerous cash payments to Torricelli, the senator spent thousands of dollars more in cash than investigators could account for from his bank withdrawals and other known sources of income. +The analysis, which was assembled from banking and credit records, income-tax returns and congressional financial-disclosure forms, showed by March of 1998, Torricelli's cash expenditures were more than $22,000 in excess of the cash he had generated from checks and automatic-teller machines, an official who has reviewed the document said. +A spokeswoman for Torricelli, Debra DeShong, said he had fully accounted for all the money he had spent. +Even after the ethics committee admonished Torricelli on Tuesday night, one of his most important political supporters, Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., continued to defend him, stating that the panel had found Chang "a witness wholly without credibility." +"a witness wholly without credibility." +"extensive campaign of misinformation and deceit," +"Only then will New Jersey voters be able to decide Torricelli's fitness for office." +U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived here on Tuesday night for meetings with fellow foreign ministers aimed at solidifying a second front, in Southeast Asia, in the campaign against global terrorism. +But he has had to balance that goal with longstanding concerns about human rights abuses in the region. +In meetings on Tuesday in Malaysia and Singapore before touching down in this oil-producing sultanate for two days of talks with members of the Association of South East Asian Nations, Powell said he repeatedly raised the issue. +The Senate Ethics Committee on Tuesday night "severely admonished" Sen.

maximum impact of each of the statements he cites, and to accomplish that effect, uses subtle interludes instead of long-winded introductions. +Not surprisingly, much of the criticism of Moore's film is misguided or outright wrong, often vastly more inaccurate than Moore's work itself. +This is a common technique, but because conservative readers are not familiar with the basics of filmmaking, they believe critics who claim that he is "distorting" the interview. +What he does is standard filmmaking practice. +The same goes for the interview which follows. +Moore's critics would expect us to have him quote Heston in his entirety, have him present fully the PR that the NRA has used to justify its rally in Denver for reasons of "balance". +The NRA was fully aware of the scandal it would cause through its rally and decided to push on because they believed to have enough media support to successfully do so. +They were right. +You claim that there was "no way to change location, since you have to give advance notice of that to the members, and there were upwards of 4,000,000 members." +10 days are more than enough to give advance warning of a change in location or date, had the NRA really wanted to. +Moore presents the most important part of the speech to back up this point and ignores the fluff. +This is what good documentary filmmaking is about. +And here the critics again ignore important evidence: +When Heston mentions the mayor of Denver, the crowd boos loudly. +Heston maganimously holds up a hand to read the mayor's letter (only to explain in detail why he chose to ignore the request -- not mentioning at all the reasons you have given!) +4) The Kayla Rolland case. +The rally took place on October 17, the shooting on February 29. +Again, standard filmmaking techniques are interpreted as smooth distortion: +"Moore works by depriving you of context and guiding your mind to fill the vacuum -- with completely false ideas. +It is brilliantly, if unethically, done." +As noted above, the "from my cold dead hands" part is simply Moore's way to introduce Heston. +Did anyone but Moore's critics view it as anything else? +He certainly does not "attribute it to a speech where it was not uttered" and, as noted above, doing so twice would make no sense whatsoever if Moore was the mastermind deceiver that his critics claim he is. +Concerning the Georgetown Hoya interview where Heston was asked about Rolland, you write: "There is no indication that [Heston] recognized Kayla Rolland's case." +This is naive to the extreme -- Heston would not be president of the NRA if he was not kept up to date on the most prominent cases of gun violence. +Even if he did not respond to that part of the interview, he certainly knew about the case at that point. +His documentary is full of subtle humor, jaw-dropping dialogue and dark contrasts. +The reason the sentence is highlighted is not to deceive the viewer into believing that Heston hurried to Flint to immediately hold a rally there (as will become quite obvious), but simply to highlight the first mention of the name "Kayla Rolland" in the text, which is in this paragraph. +It would have been fair for Moore to point out this possible misinterpretation on his website. +However, the claim of deliberate distortion is ludicrous for several reasons: +a) Moore clearly states that "before he came to Flint", Heston gave an interview. +In the excerpt from said interview, we can see that it is from March. +All in all, it is an accurate portrayal of America's gun and violence culture. +If Moore wanted to deceive his viewers, why would he say this, and show the month the interview was published? +b) Why should Moore leave the words "Clinton is on the Today Show" visible in the text, which is necessary to correctly interpret the highlighted part? +I reviewed the sequence several times and it is perfectly possible to see this text without pausing. +c) Both the "soccer mom" interview and the sequences showing the NRA rally make no effort to distort the fact that this rally happened months after the fact. +"we wanted to let the NRA know that we haven't forgotten about Kayla Rolland" +You make the hysterical claim that the interview "may be faked" (on the basis that no name is shown for the interviewee), but if Moore had faked it, why the hell should he put this sentence in the protestor's mouth, which directly contradicts the conclusion that the rally happened hours after Kayla's death? +Why did Moore, the masterful deveiver, not edit this sequence out? +This makes no sense. +Opinions may vary on how tasteless it was for Heston to hold a pro gun rally on the location of the nation's youngest school shooting months after the fact, but this sequence of "Bowling" is without doubt the most unfair to Heston. +The somewhat inept editing of the NRA press release has led some viewers to wrong conclusions, which is unfortunate, but Moore's critics have no interest in viewing the matter fairly. +In any case, at no point does Moore make a false statement, in contradiction to claims by critics that his documentary is "full of lies". +"Having created the desired impression, Moore follows with his Heston interview." +You accuse Moore so often of changing the chronology, yet you have no problems changing it yourself. +The Heston interview is at the very end of the movie. +On your webpage, you state that "Moore's resolution is questionable. +After the Flint rally comes a brief TV interview with Heston, where he is asked about Kayla Rolland (again, clear evidence that the local media in Flint raised questions about the NRA's presence), then an inteview with country prosecutor Arthur Busch, entirely ignored by critics of the film, who also mentions Heston's presence as notable, and refers to the immediate reactions of "people from all over America", gun owners/groups who, according to him, reacted aggressively to warnings of having guns accessible to children, much like spanking advocates react aggressively when anti-spankers point to a case of a child being killed or severely injured by a beating. +"Moore's resolution is questionable. +After all, early in the movie he discards the possibility that playing violent video games and watching violent flicks can cause violence -- because Canadians like, and Japanese positively love, those. +These people do not feel the need to express sympathy, or to think about ways to avoid such incidents, but they feel the need to assert their "rights" and to look for quick, simple answers -- as Busch states, gun owners wanted to "hang [the child] from the highest tree". +This is all not mentioned by critics of Moore's movie, who claim to be objective. +Perhaps the best example of the paranoia surrounding Moore's film is your sub-essay "Is the end of the Heston interview itself faked? +Moore answers a simple question -- how could the scene have been filmed -- with a simple answer: two cameras. +From this, you construct an obscure conspiracy of "re-enactment": "For all we can tell, Moore could have shouted 'Hey!' to make Heston turn around and then remained silent as Heston left." +"For all we can tell, Moore could have shouted 'Hey!' to make Heston turn around and then remained silent as Heston left." +'Hey!' +Even if your "re-enactment" theory is true (and I see no evidence that you have actually tried to ask the people involved in the filmmaking for their opinion), this itself is not unethical, and you have no evidence whatsoever that Moore has done anything unethical here, just like you have no evidence that Moore has unethically removed parts of the interview. +6)Animated history of the US. Of course the cartoon is highly oversimplified, and most critics consider it one of the weakest parts of the film. +But it makes a valid claim which you ignore entirely: That the strategy to promote "gun rights" for white people and to outlaw gun possession by black people was a way to uphold racism without letting an openly terrorist organization like the KKK flourish. +Did the 19th century NRA in the southern states promote gun rights for black people? +I highly doubt it. +But if they didn't, one of their functions was to continue the racism of the KKK. +This is the key message of this part of the animation, which is again being ignored by its critics. +If violent movies and violent videogames cannot cause violence -- then how can newscasts about violence do so?" +7) Buell shooting in Flint. +You write: "Fact: The little boy was the class thug, already suspended from school for stabbing another kid with a pencil, and had fought with Kayla the day before". +"Fact: The little boy was the class thug, already suspended from school for stabbing another kid with a pencil, and had fought with Kayla the day before" +This characterization of a six-year-old as a pencil-stabbing thug is exactly the kind of hysteria that Moore's film warns against. +It is the typical right-wing reaction which looks for simple answers that do not contradict the Republican mindset. +The kid was a little bastard, and the parents were involved in drugs -- case closed. +But why do people deal with drugs? +Because it's so much fun to do so? +It is equally well known that the so-called "war on drugs" begun under the Nixon administration is a failure which has cost hundreds of billions and made America the world leader in prison population (both in relative and absolute numbers). +In poor areas, the highly profitable drug business obviously is often seen as the last resort. +But the real cause here are not the drugs themselves, but poverty and the "war on drugs". +This is a faulty generalization. +Had the boy's mother not been shipped to a "welfare to work" program, she might at least have had some time to spend with her son. +Virtually every child psychologist knows that mother/child bonding is essential for the development of empathy and social abilities, the awareness of the consequences of one's actions, and the learning of conflict resolution by non-violent means. +If, as Moore implies (although never states as fact), video games and violent movies are relatively harmless, it does not logically follow that all types of media presentation are harmless. +Even the official quoted by Moore blames the welfare to work program, knowing full well that the drug issue is a red herring. +Once again, your emphasis on the little boy as a thug confirms Moore's (and Busch's) assertion that people wanted to hang the child from the highest tree instead of looking at the real causes. +That's because while there is a so-called war on drugs, there is no war on poverty. +Poverty is frequently portrayed as natural, and the poor in America are seen by conservatives as VCR-owners who are just too lazy to work. +In reality, what Moore describes here is the most vivid example of what can only be called wage slavery I have ever seen, to the detriment of families. +It is notable that the Wall Street Journal's reaction to this segment of the film was even more dismissive than yours: It called Moore's claim "preposterous". +, probably the most comprehensive among many rebuttals of the Oscar-winning documentary. +How could he even think about blaming poverty and forced labor programs for anything bad that happens? +8) Taliban and American aid. +After the September 11 attacks, it was necessary for conservatives to somehow explain away the fact that the US government gave 245 million dollars to the new evildoers du jour. +Never mind the fact that authors such as Robert Scheer warned of aiding the Taliban as early as in May 2001. +Never mind that in a regime that is controlled by warlords, it does not matter who is authorized to distribute the aid -- the ruling regional warlords will seize control of it and use it to their own advantage. +Never mind that this very argument has been used by hawks in opposition to sending humanitarian aid to Iraq's Saddam Hussein. +Never mind that the Taliban continued selling opium in spite of the deal. +There is a huge difference, for example, between playing a game like "Quake" and listening to a radio broadcast that tells you that your family will be killed unless you take action to kill others now. +Never mind that this is all documented on Michael Moore's website about the film. +9) Gun homicides. +That's because they know all too well that Moore is correct: The United States have a far greater homicide rate (both gun- and non-gun) than most other first world countries. +Not surprisingly, guncite, too, compares data from different years -- as I know from personal experience, it is quite difficult to do comparisons of crime statistics due to differences in reporting frequency and methodology. +The gun homicide rates for the countries Moore mentioned, according to guncite, are: Japan: 0.02 per 100,000 (1994)England/Wales: 0.11 per 100,000 (1997)Germany: 0.22 per 100,000 (1994)Australia: 0.44 per 100,000 (1994)United States: 3.72 per 100,000 (1999) +Critics fail to credit Moore with not making the same mistake that some gun control advocates make -- concluding that gun ownership "leads" to violence. +It is intuitively obvious that guns do not actually cause violence -- but it is equally intuitively obvious that they make the violence that is committed more deadly. +It is the second intuition which gun rights groups like the NRA seek to obscure using fraudulent data by the likes of John "Mary" Lott. +The gun control movement, on the other hand, distracts from the real causes of violence -- poverty, paranoia, the "war on drugs" and antisexuality. +If these causes were addressed, gun ownership in the United States would not be a problem (but also unnecessary); just like it is in Switzerland. +10) Canada ammunition purchase. +He asks us to "look at what I, a foreign citizen, was able to do at a local Canadian Wal-Mart." +"look at what I, a foreign citizen, was able to do at a local Canadian Wal-Mart." +He buys several boxes of ammunition without a question being raised. +"That's right. I could buy as much ammunition as I wanted, in Canada. +Canadian officials have pointed out that the buy is faked or illegal. +Once again, you fail to distinguish between regular film editing and "faking" (a word which "Canadian officials" have never used; for such a distortion, Moore would have been boiled alive by his critics). +If Moore simply chose not to show how he revealed his identification to the salesperson, there is nothing fraudulent about that. +His claim that it is possible to purchase ammunition in supermarkets is independent from that claim. +11) Heston's allegedly implied racism. +Similarly, the main motivation for the crusades (beyond the promise of wealth) was that Christians were supposedly being slaughtered and had to be saved. +While this can in part be explained with his age and mental condition, if he is unable to defend the interests of the NRA, he should not be their spokesman. +In this case, Hanlon's Razor can be applied to Heston -- he is probably not racist, but incompetent. +If Heston makes himself look like a fool, that should hardly be blamed on Michael Moore. +Conclusion +You write: "Bowling for Columbine is dishonest. +"Bowling for Columbine is dishonest. +It is fraudulent. +To trash Heston, it even uses the audio/video editor to assemble a Heston speech that Heston did not give, and sequences images and carefully highlighted text to spin the viewer's mind to a wrong conclusion." +None of this is true. +What is true is that Bowling for Columbine is a diamond in the small world of big screen documentaries, one that shines brightly and illuminates an often misunderstood aspect of American culture. +Obviously, media propaganda can incite people to kill. +Had Moore wanted to make a propaganda film, he would have used other material: photos from America's Emergency Rooms. +Certainly, Moore is one of the most talented filmmakers in the United States today, and his film fully deserved its Oscar. +The shrill (and remarkably unsuccessful) Internet campaign to "revoke" his award seems to be motivated more by jealousy than by real concerns about the film's accuracy. +Interactive fiction like video games, on the other hand, presents violence in a narrative context, which may very well desensitize participants to said violence, but no causative link has ever been proven. +It is not only the highest grossing non-music documentary of all time, among the users of the largest Internet film database, IMDB, it is also the highest rated one. +According to the LA Times, the documentary genre "owes a huge debt to Michael Moore" -- after Bowling's success, films like "Spellbound" and "Capturing the Friedmans" were taken seriously and shown in many more theatres than otherwise likely. +But perhaps the campaign against Moore is really motivated by another reason. +His next project has the working title "Fahrenheit 9/11: The temperature at which freedom burns", and he intends to launch it shortly before the next US presidential election. +After all, the same kind of PR blitz was started against the previous record-holding documentary: "Roger & Me" by Michael Moore. +This text is in the public domain. +Moore's hypothesis (which apparently comes at least in part from the book "Culture of Fear" by Barry Glassner, also advertised on Moore's website) is that the constant bombardment with messages of fear can incite paranoia, which itself can lead to violent acts. +Critics have now gone so far as to call for the revocation of the award. +This is consistent with the kind of media-incited violence described above, and in no relationship whatsoever to the theory of video game or music incited violence. +It is no surprise, however, that US (and European) media do not question their own propaganda of fear. +Moore's second hypothesis is that America's foreign policy may contribute to the belief that violence is an appropriate means to solve conflicts, a hypothesis which is shared by many sociologists and psychologists. +Children who grow up in war-torn regions are known for having similar views -- war is perceived as a normal part of existence, violence as a natural way to solve disputes. +Their chances are small, however, as their arguments rely on polemic, exaggeration and misrepresentation -- in other words, on the same techniques which they accuse Moore of using. +In a weaker sense, the same message is projected to American children, who grow up being told that it is not acceptable to be violent to one another, but who simultaneously have to endure corporal punishment and media messages about how "the enemies of freedom" are punished. +Moore's film was made before the dead bodies of Qusay and Uday Hussein were paraded on national TV. +Americans were gloating over this demented corpse show: +"They squealed like little piggies too, so you'll have to make do with 'oink, oink, squeeeeeeeallll' for their last words. +'oink, oink, squeeeeeeeallll' +That goes for your grandson Mustafa too, by the way. +Still think fucking with the U.S. was a good idea, Sammy?" +Mustafa was 14 years when he was killed. +Americans cheer the killing of children, yet wonder why their own children grow up to be more violent than those in other nations. +It is paradoxical notions like this one which Moore's film seeks to address. +Inaccuracies +Your webpage list a number of alleged inaccuracies in Moore's movies. +It is true that Moore's film is sometimes unintentionally deceptive, but to call it fraudulent is hyperbole to the extreme. +It is no more so than any other successful documentary of the last decades. +Let's look at some specific criticisms: +1) The bank scene, listed on your website on a separate page. +Critics have stated that this scene was "staged", but in the bank interview, the official tells Moore that the bank has its own vault storing about 500 weapons at any given time. +It is also a licensed firearms dealer which can perform its own background checks. +In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, linked from your site, an employee claims that the gun would have been "normally" picked up at another dealer. +Dear David Hardy, +It is not explained what "normally" is supposed to mean, but that claim flatly contradicts the statement of the bank official in the film. +This sounds more like a later correction for public relations purposes, but of course nobody questions the bank claims when they can be used against Moore. +It is fascinating to watch the organized character assassination of Michael Moore that has been going on in the United States since the release of his last documentary. +The only thing that Moore compressed is the timeframe. +According to the same WSJ interview, "Typically, you're looking at a week to 10 days waiting period." +"Typically, you're looking at a week to 10 days waiting period." +This is plausible -- but entirely irrelevant for the movie, which already makes it quite clear that a background check is being performed. +Moore's detractors have sometimes extended those 7-10 days to several weeks, contradicting the bank's own estimate. +There is nothing inaccurate whatsoever about the bank scene. +The bank does exactly what it advertises: It hands out guns from its vault to those who open an account. +The silly criticisms of the scene obscure the real obscenity of the situation: a bank handing out guns to its customers, higlighting the utter laxness of how Americans deal with deadly weapons and a love of firearms that borders on the religious. +2) The Lockheed-Martin interview. +This is perhaps the criticism repeated the most often, and it also the most inaccurate. +First, the actual quotes from the film are often reproduced incorrectly. +The dialogue goes as follows: +A defense of Michael Moore and "Bowling for Columbine" +"So you don't think our kids say to themselves, gee, dad goes off to the factory every day - he builds missiles. +These are weapons of mass destruction. +"I guess I don't see that specific connection because the missiles that you're talking about were built and designed to defend us from somebody else who would be aggressors against us." +In a time of simple-minded patriotism, loud, clear and dissenting voices like Mr. Moore's are perceived as disturbing and have to be silenced, partially through well funded public relations campaigns, partially through conservative "grass-roots" propaganda. +Moore is not from Colorado -- his question is generic, not meant to refer specifically to the Lockheed Martin plant in question. +McCollum understands it this way -- otherwise he would protest against the plant being mischaracterized. +However, critics of Moore have cleverly ignored McCollum's response and presented Moore as spreading lies about the Lockheed plant. +Even Lockheed did not believe the public to be that gullible. +In response to one Moore detractor, McCollum wrote: "Although other units of Lockheed Martin Corporation elsewhere in the country produce weapons to support the defense of the U.S., we make no weapons at the Littleton-area facility Moore visited." +Of course, critics have conveniently ignored the fact that Lockheed Martin does supply weapons of mass destruction to the US military, and that the company is the nation's largest military contractor. +As Moore correctly points out, it is bizarre for a society to openly embrace the production of destructive weapons, but on the other hand see no connection of this to everyday violence -- children learn by imitating adults. +Yes, Moore makes this point through slight exaggeration by moving with the camera through the LM plant -- but he makes no incorrect statement. +It is typical for his critics to jump on what is at most a slightly misleading implication, but in doing so, they themselves have, unlike Moore, made many incorrect claims. +3) Denver NRA meeting. +First, the "from my cold, dead hands" part: This is used by Moore as a visual citation to introduce Heston. +It is perhaps one of his most famous quotes, shown on national TV even here in Germany. +It tells viewers: Aha, this is the person we are talking about. +It is Moore's way to say: Viewers, meet Charlton Heston, gun nut extraordinaire. +The "visual of a billboard and a narration" is viewed by you as evidence that Moore is trying to somehow tie the two events together, when in reality, it is quite obvious that he does it to separate the introduction of Heston from his speech in Denver. +If you do have something better to do, though, by all means do it . +Granted grading papers is important, but no fun makes for a boring life. +I should know. +since, when I was your age I had fun playing with my adorable son and caring for another baby. +You need to try to have a life outside your computer. +Just saying....it seems I have more life now then you have and we know how little I get out! +The one that really stuck in my mind was explaining transitions in the panels of Watchmen . +I'd read Watchmen a short while before and appreciated its narrative complexity, but not being used to reading comics, hadn't registered all the technical tricks that the artist was using to achieve this. +The post not only taught me something about the grammar of such images, but more importantly led to me realising that there is a grammar to look for in the first place. +So thanks a lot for that one. +SEK, I started going through your back posts and noticed a pattern in my selections, so I think it would be easier (for me, because I'm rubbish with html) to just say all the scene analysis posts and the close reading comics posts, like the one Magistra mentioned and many others after that. +Plus Justifying Comics as a Legitimate Object of Study Parts I & II. +I also liked "Teaching the Overdetermined Image. +Your takedown of Cashill and the whole Ayers-wrote-Dreams was excellent, and the Cruel_cruel_death post (you know what I'm talking about, right? +Also, The Day in Actual Communist and Real Nazi History seems as relevant today as ever. +I don't remember if you've made noises here before about turning these into a book, but if you do you've got at least one reader. +What happened to your post that appeared in my RSS reader yesterday? +Would it be possible to arrange your posts into three 'parties', and give your many readers the opportunity to 'vote' for one of them, by 'secret ballot'? +However, when I started looking through my archives, it occurred to me that my output this year defines me much more sharply than in years past. +I can't believe I wrote all that last year. +What do I mean? +The posts I consider foundational to my current professional identity all seem to have been composed in 2009. +Granted, the likelihood that I'm suffering from the identitarian equivalent of presentism is awfully high, but I honestly thought I'd written some of the posts from early 2009 in 2006 or so. +Because I've been grading all damn day and am as tired as a Swearengen of hearing other about the finished semesters of pretty much every other academic blogger, I thought that it might be best to avoid jealously lashing out and scribble a "Best of Acephalous 2009" post. +If you have absolutely nothing better to do on a Friday night, feel free to scan through my 2009 archives and tell me what you think should be included in the "Best of" post. +I noted on Facebook that, from a statistical perspective, what makes baseball such an amazing sport is that you can watch it your entire life and still see, on a daily basis, something you’ve never seen before. +The fact that I can verify vague memories of events that occurred twenty-five years ago astounds me in a way I sometimes forget the Internet is capable of doing. +This realization is obviously not of world-historical importance, merely a reminder that this thing whose existence we take for granted daily represents a fundamentally weird complement to human memory. +The fact that at some point in the future I can know who I rode in an elevator with on 28 December 2005 is less weird because I chose to write about riding in an elevator with Grimace . +Joe Sambito. +Wow. +I'd completely forgotten about him. +Closest I came to that was watching Dale Murphy get tagged out at the plate on what would have been an inside-the-park slam. +He pitched for the Astros before he came to the Mets, stayed for '85, then he pitched for the Red Sox against the Mets in '86 World Series. +I remember him being ineffective, and as it turns out, he was . +Now that I remember him, which I didn't before, I remember him as being the pitcher who'd pitched for 1) the team the Mets faced to get to the '86 Series and 2) the one they faced in it. +Memory, as Gertrude Stein would say, is funny. +Apparently the drug use, sexual excess, and weird UCI experiences haven't softened your brain yet. +What's really bothersome, though, is when you only remember things from your distant past. +My grandpa was alert till the end, but when I last saw him at age 92 everything he wanted to talk about was 70 years in the past. +The Internet occasionally reminds me of how different life is because of it. +A guess, but perhaps your grandfather's life at 22 was more interesting than the ensuing 70 yrs. +It’s a truism, I know, but it has the benefit of actually being true. +You know what makes this post great? +No stinking cricket. +Yeah, I remember Sambito from the Astros (when the Braves were in the old NL West because it made sense to have a team 3,000 miles from most of their division rivals). +Solid pitcher for a while. +But burned out toward the end. +Apparently, he is a player's representative now. +Prosthetic memory. +I like to read about others watching baseball more than I like to watch baseball by a factor of nine. +In this case, the something in question was watching the wonderfully named Angel Pagan hit an inside-the-park home run and initiate a triple play in the same game. +It is true that at the end of time, the old time baseball writers will be hailed as the very best writers, as they had access to an event that was susceptible to beautiful writing, but horrendous to watch in person. +Plus, they smoked a prodigious quantity of cigarettes. +John Emerson responded with some humbug about it not being an inside-the-park grand slam, which made me remember that I had seen an inside-the-park grand slam at some time in the remote past. +I remember being six or seven years old and watching the Mets play the Cardinals in an afternoon game at Shea Stadium, and thanks to the miracle of the Internet, I can definitively say that at approximately 4:30 p.m. on 9 June 1985 , I watched Terry Pendleton hit an inside-the-park grand slam off Joe Sambito in a game the Cardinals would go on to win handily. +Diagram of the polarization-opponent unit described by Lambrinos, et al (2000). +The unit takes in polarization levels through the two polarization-sensitive photodiodes and feeds them into the logarithm ratio amplifier, which returns the difference of the logarithmized signals from the photodiodes. +The e-vector (heading) returned from the two polarization-sensitive photodiodes (1, 2) follows a cos2-function. +Ants themselves rely primarily on chemical information taken in through their antennae, and to mimic this, Antie will have chemical sensing and emitting “stalks” with which to both interact with other ants (who may be surprised to find an ant without antennae) and take in chemical information. +These stalks will need to have receptors to measure the n-alkene levels present in another ant’s cuticular hydrocarbons, which research indicates is the marker for harvester ants of a nestmate’s current task, perhaps because the hydrocarbons are altered in the dry sun, causing a different ratio of n-alkanes to n-alkenes and the presence of branched n-alkanes in the hydrocarbon profile (Wagner, et al, 2001, as cited in Gordon & Greene, 2003). +Such a robot would allow for both long-term studies of ant-robot interactions and studies of task-switching in the robots. +Returning successful patrollers have an even greater effect on foraging activity: foragers will not leave the nest unless a patroller returns (Gordon, 2002), and the rate of foraging in a colony can be controlled by rolling glass beads coated with cuticular hydrocarbons extracted from patrollers into the nest (Gordon & Greene, 2003; Greene & Gordon, 2007). +Midden seems to be marked in some olfactory way, since removing midden from nests makes them more likely to be invaded by other species (Gordon, 35). +For the purposes of this proposal, I will assume that the nest maintenance and food processing ants have marked the midden with a particular pheromone. +All of these chemical receptors will be arranged in an array on a pair of chemical stalks, with four of each type of receptor per stalk. +This technique, described by Ishida, et al (2001), has been shown to improve the chemical plume-tracking abilities of robots. +The wires will lead back down through the stalk to the on-board PC. +Finally, Antie will have tactile sensors on its grippers to analyze the pressure being exerted on a gripped object. +These sensors will be of the type patented by Peterson, et al (Patent #4,492,949), and will feature several layers of electrically insulating and parallel flexible conductive rods arranged such that an exerted pressure may be measured in output voltage. +These will correspond to the muscles of the ant’s mandibles, which provide sensorimotor feedback to the ant when grasping objects. +A table of the sensors and their relation to the ant’s sensory system is provided below. +Table of sensors and their relations to the ant. +The red harvester ant lives in hot, dry deserts, building its nests in light yellowy sand and foraging for seeds deposited by winds and rain. +The ants forage for more than 30 different varieties of seeds, many of which do not grow in the desert (Gordon, 54), where only a few varieties of small shrubs, small herbaceous flowering plants and short grasses do grow (Gordon, 51). +Introduction +Motors +Antie’s motors will allow it to move around and interact with its environment and fellow ants. +There will be two individually operated motors to drive the two side wheels in lieu of legs. +A third motor will lift and lower the grippers, allowing Antie to raise and lower gripped items as an ant would by raising and lowering its head. +Three small sprayers will emit successful patroller and forager pheromones and cuticular hydrocarbons from the appropriate sacs. +These will be located in different places: the sprayer for the successful patroller pheromone will be located on the rear at the base of Antie, corresponding to the glands that researchers believe the ants drag along behind them to mark returning paths, while the successful forager and cuticular hydrocarbon sprayers will be located on the skirt. +Antie will not spray different pheromones depending on its task, on the assumption that its time in the sun will alter its hydrocarbons enough that its tasks will be recognizable to other ants. +Other insects and creatures, including other species of ants, are present in the desert, but red harvester ants seem to be relatively undisturbed by these animals (Gordon, 7-11). +Almost all motor output will be a direct function of sensory input as indicated in the following section. +Antie will have a hybrid software architecture: a subsumption hierarchy will be responsible for switching between behaviors, but many sub-behaviors will operate on a schema basis. +Pseudocode will approximate this architecture as closely as possible, and where appropriate, different subroutines running on a schema basis will be marked. +Common Behaviors +A few sub-behaviors will be necessary for more than one behavior. +To ease Antie’s on-board memory requirements and processing capabilities (and to make all the rest of the pseudocode easier for the reader to understand), I propose a few global variables and subroutines. +Though fights sometimes do break out with other red harvester ants from different nests, intraspecies interactions tend not to be aggressive (Gordon, 11). +Background +Because of this, I will ignore other ant species in the design of Antie, and will not create a fighting behavior. +Common behaviors will include a forward cruise and turning mechanism, procedures to determine the orientation towards nest and the distance from the nest when outside, in-nest navigation, an escape function for when objects are detected or bumped into, object identification and gripping, a generic algorithm for pheromone plume and chemical trail following, and the identification of other ants. +Antie will be equipped to navigate in this environment and will be designed to find seeds in sandy soil. +The Ant & the Robot +Ants of this species are of two types: breeding ants (queens and drones) and sterile female workers. +In order to orient itself toward the nest while navigating outside, Antie will need to determine which direction the nest is in and rotate toward that heading, and also how far from the nest it is at its current location. +The orientation and distance should be calculable by the polarization pattern according to the system set up by Lambrinos, et al. +Antie will therefore have a polarization function that will return a compass direction toward which it should orient in order to return home to the nest, and a distance function that will return the shortest direct distance. +We may assume that this first function will return a direction in degrees, positive or negative, and that the second function will return a distance in centimeters. +Queens and drones will not be considered in this proposal, as their behaviors and design is much more specialized and would be applicable only during the breeding season, which occurs but once per year. +The first function might look something like this: +In-nest navigation will be a function of the temperature, read by Antie’s thermometer and a light source. +To exit, Antie will seek a high temperature until the photoreceptor reaches a threshold of stimulation indicating sunlight, and to get deeper, Antie will seek a lower temperature. +The code may look something like this: +This void function will be called nestEnter(), and will take in no inputs. +To avoid bumping into things (including other ants), Antie be provided with an escape function. +Each of Antie’s eight bump sensors will cause the robot to rotate a different amount, and the sonar will cause it to rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction. +Regardless, this will be a very simple function. +I will include one example: +Little is known about brood care, as this occurs only in the deepest regions of the nest and observation would generally require the destruction of the nest. +Because this function responds to the sensors on Antie’s around the sides and only its sonar detectors will be able to detect objects in front of it, this escape function will not prevent Antie from being able to locate and pick up objects such as seeds. +Before picking objects up, however, Antie will need to identify them. +Chemical inputs will be checked to see what this object is most likely to be given its smell. +The code may look something like this: +Nest maintenance and seed processing are likewise difficult to observe in the deeper regions of the nest, but the sorting and deposition of waste dirt and nest garbage outside of the nest (midden work) occurs close enough to the surface to be observable. +Once the object has been identified, Antie may grip it and lift it. +A simple void function grip() taking in no inputs will tighten the grippers until a certain threshold of pressure is reached, at which point the grippers will be lifted for carrying. +A void function release() will perform this same action in reverse. +Antie will also need to follow several different kinds of chemical gradient trails: it will need to track the trails left by successful patrollers, and localize the source of food-odors and midden-odors. +Implementations of chemical gradient following robots using two sensors on “antennae” stalks has been successful in with analog robots in the past (Webb, 1998), regardless of the potential problem of airflow causing a disturbed gradient over evaporating pheromones. +As a partial control for the problem of imprecise sensing, a function will perform an analysis of the array information coming on from Antie’s four sensors on each stalk. +The differences between these outputs is what is being compared everywhere there is a “left_IP” or “right_IP.” +Antie will use the chemical gradient algorithm of Braitenberg’s aggressive type 2 vehicle described in his book “Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology,” as this was found through a series of experiments by Russell, et al (2003) to be very efficient when compared to several biomimetic models. +Because the same general algorithm will be followed for the localization of all three chemical traces, I will provide pseudocode for only one generic subroutine. +Note that a portion of this subroutine does run on a schema basis: +Patrolling and foraging, too, occur for the most part outside of the nest, and have therefore been studied extensively (ex., Schafer, et al, 2006; Gordon, et al, 2002; Gordon, 2002; Gordon, 1987). +Unfortunately, as of yet, no robot has managed to fool a human for more than a few seconds, and no robot has been created that can integrate itself into human society. +For the purposes of calls later in the pseudocode, I will refer to these subroutines as trailFollow(), findFood(), and findMidden(). +All three are void and take no inputs. +The final common subroutine will be one for the identification of other ants. +When both sonar sensors are stimulated simultaneously, Antie will check hydrocarbon inputs and determine whether the detected object is a nestmate. +As harvester ants tend not to engage aggressively with non-nestmates, Antie will only identify other ants as ants if they belong to its nest. +Proposal for a Red Harvester Ant Robot: Colony Infiltration and Task Switching +Antie will attempt to determine the tasks of other ants by sensing only the n-alkene levels. +Using these basic common behaviors, more complex behaviors may be coded. +Red harvester ants do not retain one task throughout their lifespan, but instead change their behaviors as is appropriate for the colony (Gordon, 1996). +Research has shown that red harvester ants switch tasks partially as a function of age (ex., Ingram, et al, 2005) and partially as a function of interactions with other workers (ex., Schafer et al, 2006; Gordon, 2002; Greene & Gordon, 2007). +As a result, I will model the three main behaviors in the order that they are to be engaged in. +Midden work, which consists of moving dirt between the inside of the nest and the outside, will occur first; patrolling, which involves a shorter overall amount of time spent outside, will occur second; and foraging will be the final behavior. +Finally, I will discuss a main method encoding the task switching between these behaviors. +The midden work behavior will be Antie’s default initial behavior. +It will be initiated in the morning by the sunrise, and will continue until the outside temperature reaches 52­­­oC, at which point all red harvester ants must return to the nest. +As previously stated, a midden worker must identify midden, grasp it, and carry it to the surface, depositing it halfway down the mound before returning to collect more midden. +The second behavior, patrolling, involves two sub-behaviors: nest patrolling and trail patrolling. +Nest patrolling will involve leaving the nest, roaming around on the nest mound for a few minutes, and reentering the nest. +Research shows that ants do change their behaviors based partly on their perceived life expectancy (Moron, et al, 2007), and that task-switching is partly genetically controlled by a switch in gene expression as the individual ages (Ingram, et al, 2005). +It is therefore reasonable to assign a constant age at which Antie will switch from nest patrolling to trail patrolling. +In order to perform both of these functions, Antie will need a subroutine to explore in a zig-zag fashion, as harvester ants do (Gordon, 34). +Harvester ants display a preference to wander in familiar territory, though foragers and patrollers do sometimes wander into other nests’ territories (Gordon, 57-60). +In the case of midden work, Antie must be able to identify garbage, grasp it, carry it out of the nest, and deposit it about halfway down the mound before returning to repeat the process ad infinitum (or until stimulated to switch behaviors). +This model is reasonable because patrollers and foragers change their explored territory from day to day, even though they do retain some more commonly chosen paths (Gordon, 45). +Patrolling may be divided into two distinct sub-behaviors, nest patrolling and trail patrolling. +Nest patrollers will only call this behavior for a short distance before returning to the nest to idle for a few minutes and exit again. +Trail patrollers will go much further, until food sources are found, and will then orient towards the nest and create trails for the foragers to follow. +An ant engaged in nest patrolling must exit the nest at the proper time in the morning and wander about for a bit on the nest mound, presumably taking measurements of the temperature and humidity in some way and making sure that it is safe for the other ants to exit. +A general site of food is all that the patroller need find; the foragers will dig through the sand for the food. +Code for the patrolling behavior might look like this (note that part is on a schema basis): +The integers nestpatrol_age and trailpatrol_age will represent the ages at which it is appropriate to switch to these tasks. +Perhaps the level of degradation of the nest patrollers’ cuticular hydrocarbons after this short foray into the sun and heat acts as an indication of the outside conditions to the foragers, who may then, upon smelling the returning patroller, be stimulated either to forage or to remain inactive inside the nest. +The final behavior, foraging, will involve one extra subroutine that will employ an algorithm designed by R. +Andrew Russell to localize an object through sand based on a chemical plume. +This will emulate the digging that foragers must often do in order to locate seeds, and will enable Antie to accurately retrieve seeds for its host nest. +This algorithm will keep track of the last two intensities of the desired chemical input and compare them. +It would also keep track of whether the last rotation was clockwise or counter-clockwise. +The code for this, adapted from Russell’s paper, might look like this: +Foragers will follow trails marked by patrollers to their conclusion before collecting food to bring back to the nest, even if more tantalizing food presents itself in their path (Gordon, 47). +To address this, a strict subsumption hierarchy will make sure that the foragers do not stop to collect food too soon. +The code might look like this: +An ant engaged in trail patrolling must exit the nest, wander around searching for food sources, identify food upon discovery and return to the nest to show the foragers where the food is. +Of course, what makes Antie an innovative robot is the task-switching between these larger behaviors. +Because the midden work behavior is Antie’s initial default behavior, I will not address task switching to midden work. +Workers probably switch to patrolling based on their perceived life expectancy and as a function of a gene whose expression changes between young and old ants, and this is easily emulated using a clock pulse counter in Antie’s CPU that will count its “age” since last boot. +To remind the reader, this technique was implemented earlier in this proposal to create the limited task-switching between nest patrolling and trail patrolling. +The switch from patrolling to foraging has been modeled as a function of successful foragers’ returns with great accuracy by Schafer, et al (2006), and evidence from experiments in which successful foragers were removed before reentry to the nest does support the theory that returning successful foragers have an effect on the activation of new foragers (Gordon, 2002). +Infiltrating insect societies, however, is much simpler. +This is thought to be accomplished by the deposition of chemical markers from a gland on the abdomen that the patroller drags along the ground on her return route to the nest that the foragers may then follow (Gordon, 33-34; Holldobler et al, 1990, as cited in Webb, 1998). +Activated foragers form a queue to exit the nest and exit at a steady rate. +According to Schafer’s, et al. model of forager activation, every time a successful forager returns and no foragers are currently in line to exit, a fraction (modeled at 0.0035) of inactive foragers joins the queue. +For the purposes of modeling Antie, I will assume that the switches between these behaviors are permanent, irreversible and partly a function of age, with new foragers being activated by returning successful foragers. +The code to model this task-switching might look something like this: +Conclusion +Antie will be a fully autonomous, situated and embodied agent, infiltrating a red harvester ant colony and providing valuable information not only about the hypothesized rules of these ants’ behaviors and their task-switching thresholds, but also about the combination of complex behaviors into a single autonomous system with the ability to switch between behaviors as necessary. +In addition to following these trails to the food, foragers must also be able to identify food, grasp it and carry it back to the nest. +Biomimetic robots have long been a rich source of information for both biologists and robotics engineers, and complex robots that can switch tasks as the situation demands and communicate information about current tasks could be useful for further studies of complex robot behaviors as well as for the obvious practical applications of robot swarms, such as on the battlefield and standard building maintenance. +REFERENCES +Ants engaged in all three behaviors must be able to identify other nestmates and their current tasks (as well as indicate to other ants their own nestmate status and current task), walk, navigate both within and outside of the nest, and of course switch tasks at appropriate times. +Extensive research has been done on the interactions of social insects such as honeybees, ants and cockroaches, and in fact robots have passed undetected in cockroach society performing single simple behaviors already (Halloy et al, 2007). +The Agent +Chassis +Antie will be implemented on a tiny Road Warrior robotic system. +Behaviors will be coded in Interactive C, for which some pseudocode is included. +Sensors will include a thermometer, photoreceptors, bump sensors, a polarization compass, and a series of chemical receptors. +Antie be a circular robot, no more than 1cm in diameter (the length of a red harvester ant), with two driving wheels and one rear wheel for stabilization. +A gripper will be located on the front of the robot consisting of two elongated tongs. +Antie will also feature a skirt of bump sensors, sonar detectors and chemical emitters, including sacs of hydrocarbons extracted from ants of the nest being infiltrated and pheromones for successful patrolling and foraging. +These sacs will be refilled at a filling station each morning as Antie determines that they are getting depleted. +Antie will likewise recharge at a special station at night just inside the nest entrance. +For the purposes of this proposal, I will assume that Antie has enough battery life to remain powered the whole day. +Sensors +In an attempt to mimic the red harvester ant as closely as possible, these sensors include a thermometer, photoreceptors, bump sensors and sonar, a polarization compass, and a series of chemical receptors on a pair of stalks corresponding to the antennae. +On its front grippers, Antie will have a tactile skin to sense pressure. +The thermometer will be located on the rear of the robot to keep it out of the way, and will detect and input to the robot the outside temperature in degrees Celsius. +Harvester ants do not exit the nest when the outside temperature is above 52 degrees Celsius (Gordon, 9), and the ability to use a temperature gradient will enable in-nest navigation. +Antie will also be equipped with one photoreceptor located in the middle of the top of its chassis corresponding to the ant’s eyes. +These will be useful for initiating patrolling behavior in the morning and shutting off behaviors at night: the patrollers first poke their heads out of the nest shortly after sunrise and scuttle back in at night (Gordon, 5). +No robot has yet been constructed, however, that could pass undetected within a colony of the red harvester ants species Pogonomyrmex barbatus; nor has a robot managed to pass undetected in a society of insects while combining in its design several different behaviors and the thresholds of stimulation required to switch between them. +The bump sensors and sonar will form a skirt around Antie to keep it from colliding with other objects. +The sonar will constantly be detecting nearby objects and initiate an escape maneuver when their inputs pass a certain threshold of stimulation, and the bump sensors will, when depressed, also initiate the escape function. +The sonar will correspond to the ant’s limited optical object detection ability, and the bump sensors will allow the robot to detect collisions. +The polarization compass will consist of two polarized light sensors placed at 45 and -45 degrees from the center front of Antie, respectively, that will orient Antie towards a desired polarization pattern. +These sensors would correspond to the cells in the ants’ eyes sensitive to polarized light, and research has shown that many insects, including ants, do navigate using a path integration system synthesizing input from a polarization compasses and from a sort of odometer (Labhart, et al, 2002). +Antie would use a system for processing the input from its polarization compass based on the compass designed by Lambrinos, Moller, Labhart, Pfeifer and Wehner in 2000, consisting of two photodiodes with blue filters and polarizers. +The difference of their logarithmized signals would be returned to Antie, who will use a simultaneous model to navigate returns to the nest: Upon each exit from the nest, Antie will take a single 360o scan of the sky, and will orient itself according to an analytical procedure to derive compass information from different polarization patterns perceived later. +This should be sufficient to return Antie to the nest, given the accuracy achieved by Lambrinos, et al and the relatively short periods of time that harvester ants spend outside the nest before returning. +True, the USA has not suffered a successful major attack since 9/11, but this does not mean that we are safer. +The

IS TERRORISM? +TERRORISM is "the systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. +We believe that any terrorist act is a crime against humanity and against the will of God, because it deliberately intends to injure and kill innocent people. +Three years have now gone by since the September 11th attacks in 2001, and terrorism is a far greater threat to us now than it was then. +NEUTRALIZING TERRORISM +Our purpose here is to NEUTRALIZE TERRORISM by removing the motivation for it. +Without motivation, terrorism will quickly die down, like a plant without water. +We completely reject the idea that terrorism can be defeated by brute force, because brute force radicalizes the moderates, and they then join the terrorists. +So you end up fighting the entire population. +Brute force has failed in Palestine, and it is failing in Iraq. +And the second-greatest terrorist threat comes from several countries, mainly Israel, who sometimes resort to terrorism themselves, claiming "self-defense," as they desperately try to prevent further attacks by radical Muslims. +In all of these cases above, if the radical Muslims would cease their attacks, all terrorism on both sides of every dispute would quickly end. +Beyond these two sources, there is virtually no terrorist activity in the world, with the possible exception of localized disputes such as in Northern Ireland and occasional domestic episodes in various places involving isolated disaffected groups. +The number and severity of terrorist attacks worldwide has increased dramatically, as has the number of active terrorists. +They need to be identified and attacked. +If the terrorist loses faith in the righteousness of his acts, he is less likely to perform them. +EXAMPLE 1: "Terrorists Offend Allah." +EXAMPLE 2: "Terrorist Murderers Insult Allah, Bring Shame To Islam" +EXAMPLE 3 (LATEST AND BEST! - Framed Below): "Qur'an Forbids Terrorism" +In every case of terrorism, we will find some kind of legitimate underlying grievance. +Is this "negotiating with terrorists" or "trying to appease the terrorists," as some Israeli/NeoCons would try to say? +No. +It is simply recognizing the realities of human motivation, right or wrong. +The Anti-Terrorist - Undermining The Motivation For Terrorism +To deny reality, as the Israeli/NeoCons do, is to invite disaster, as they have done. +BIG PICTURE +A big picture of our entire Anti-Terrorism strategy can be found at our website +Blessings to you. +Before 9/11,

Bill McGinnis , Director - LoveAllPeople.org +Now, many more moderate Muslims have become radicalized, world-wide, willing to kill innocent civilians in order to achieve their purposes. +And the serious targets have expanded to include civilians in Russia, India, Maylasia, the Philippines, Spain, and elsewhere, as well as Israel and its sole supporter, the United States. +Paul Wilson describes the transition from the Introduction to the Exposition as “quite abrupt and seemingly unmotivated,” +Wilson, 173. +but it is in fact this motivic relationship that ties them together and creates a rather smooth transition. +The Exposition +Although the motivic relationship between the Introduction and the first theme of the exposition smooth the transition, nearly every other element changes when the first theme appears. +Harmonic Structure and Form +The drastic tempo and meter changes as well as the first appearances of staccato articulations make it clear to the listener that the introduction is over. +As mentioned, the first theme, the beginning of which is reproduced in Example 8, contains two head motives: the first is the tritone-spanning ascent that appears in the first measure, and the second is an iteration of the interval cell (+5, -2, +5) that appears in the second through third measures. +Bartók describes the form of the first movement as “more or less regular sonata form.” +While the presence of the perfect fourths that was so prevalent in the Introduction is clear in the latter, the former does not employ the perfect fourth in its formation. +Rather, this motive is a small-scale representation of the tonic-dominant relationship of tritone partners, specifically F and B, that is the basis for the harmonic structure of this movement. +Rhythmically, we have a dissonance between the melody, which follows the written meter, and the accompanying chords in the bassoons, horns and lower strings. +As Example 10 shows, the chords are more-or-less in duple meter (4/8 and 2/8) with one “hiccup” occurring in the 5/8 measure. +This is in strict metric dissonance with the triple meter of the melody (with its own “hiccups” occurring in the written 2/8 measures). +As we will later see, this dissonance disappears when this theme returns in the recapitulation. +While that does not seem to be a meaningful assertion, it is perfectly accurate: the movement is in sonata form, but there is an introduction that does not relate thematically to any other parts of the movement (not unheard of in Mozart sonatas), and the recapitulation presents the two themes of the exposition in reverse order. +We have already mentioned that the first theme group is in F—this is made clear from the onset, both in the melodic line and by the F minor triad that occurs on the downbeat of measure 77. +While the material occasionally departs from this F in measures 76-94, these departures are all subordinate to the prolonged F. +E♭ is the tonal center for measures 95-134, although it does not appear as a strong bass note until measure 131. +Measures 95-130 contain a mostly chromatic descent from C to E♭, where E♭ is anticipated throughout as a goal tone for the bass. +Example 11 illustrates this structure. +Note that the initial G♯ is a pickup to the section in C♯, which fills in the whole-tone descent from E♭ to C♯ with the intervening fourth. +This motive also contains the intervallic cell of the second head motive of the first theme in the form of G♯-C♯-B-E (with the addition of some passing tones), in addition to consisting largely of motion by perfect fourths. +Wilson claims that C and E♭ are “local dominants” to F in this first section of the exposition. +While the strong V-I motion from measures 90-91 does carry a tonal implication of dominant-tonic, such cadential bass motion does not imply anything about structural function in this context. +E♭, furthermore, is not convincingly established as a dominant-functioning tone at all. +The passage from measures 85-89 is centered on E♭ (and the pentatonic set from the opening of the exposition is transposed down a whole step), but its mere presence as local tonic does not signify any sort of dominant function. +Rather, we can consider this occurrence of E♭ as a middleground-level whole-tone descent that foreshadows the structural descent to E♭ at measure 131 that is represented in Example 2. +However, as previously mentioned, C acts as a “fake” dominant that in measures 149-155 actually functions as an upper neighbor to B, the “true” dominant. +The descent in measures 91-95 in fact participates in the farce by projecting a descent ending on C, which makes the eventual reinterpretation of C and descent to B stronger. +This creates both a smooth transition to the second theme and a strong sense that a new section is beginning, a combination that is generally rather difficult to forge. +The second theme is tranquil and harmonically simple, which is in stark contrast to the first theme. +B dominates as tonal center from measures 155-191 with little or no harmonic motion away from it. +The “backwards” recapitulation is a technique that Bartók employs frequently because of the formal symmetry it creates. +A♭ intervenes between E♭ and D♭ in measure 195—another instance of the whole-tone being “filled in” by a fourth. +Hence, measures 155-210 constitute the bass progression B-E♭-D♭-B; the same stepwise descent (E♭-D♭) occurred in the first theme group while F rather than B was being prolonged. +In our terminology, this is the point at which B is unequivocally established as the structural dominant. +The Development +As mentioned, the development is divided into three subsections. +In Example 2, the entire development section is represented by exactly three pitches, and indeed each subsection is associated with one of these three pitches as its tonal center—none of these pitches is involved in the structural whole-tone descent. +As Paul Wilson states, the development “is, for Bartók’s music, developmental in a relatively conventional way”; the themes from the exposition are expanded and modified, and tonalities other than those expected arise. +“is, for Bartók’s music, developmental in a relatively conventional way” +For example, the fifth string quartet. +The only slight abnormality, though it is certainly not unheard of even in classical-period sonata movements, is the emergence of a new theme in the second section of the development. +Although Wilson claims that this theme is based on “a transformation in rhythm and contour of the second head-motive of [the first-theme],” +“a transformation in rhythm and contour of the second head-motive of [the first-theme],” +Also see Bartók’s comments on that (Bartók, 414). +there is no intervallic relationship between the two motives, and it is not clear what elements of a motive remain when rhythm, contour and interval content are changed. +Before beginning an analysis of any piece by Béla Bartók, one must first decide to what degree tonal analysis will be used. +Furthermore, this section, being the middle section of the movement, upholds the formal symmetry if interpreted as its own theme. +The first section of the development, measures 231-271, begins with a big D-minor chord which immediately establishes D as the tonal center for the section. +Although it moves to E♭ minor in measure 239, it returns to D minor in measure 248, which suggests that E♭ is an upper neighbor prolonging D. +Example 1 shows a diagram of the form of the movement; the symmetry is apparent within the seven sections following the introduction. +The passage beginning at measure 248, shown in Example 13, can be considered to be the “theme” of this section, and is a development of the second head motive of the first theme. +This motive undergoes inversion and extension throughout the section. +The second section of the development is in C♯ (which is sometimes spelled D♭). +This section is reproduced as Example 14. +This section returns to the calm simplicity (and tempo) of the second section, though apart from affect there are no references to that section. +Although the C♯ major chord in measure 293, preceded by A♭ major (V) in measure 285, suggests C♯ as tonal center, the tonality is not strongly established until measure 303. +Because of its emphasis here in the development section and its position as leading to B in the second theme group, we could conceive of C# as a sub-dominant in this movement. +As the example shows, the development section is divided into three subsections; the first and third subsections draw their thematic material from the first theme group, and the second subsection involves new material not drawn from the exposition. +The third section of the development takes the trombone motive from the transition between the first and second sections of the exposition shown in Example 12, transposed to begin on F, and turns it into a fugato sequence, reproduced in Example 17. +The tonal center B♭ is established immediately in measures 316-318 by the strong V-I chord progression (Example 16). +As previously mentioned, the fugato motive incorporates the motion by perfect fourths found in the Introduction as well as the intervallic cell found in the second head motive of the first theme. +The resultant set is the pentatonic set F-B♭-E♭-A♭-D♭; the entire passage shown in Example 17 remains within this set. +The second and fourth entrances of the fugato subject are transposed up a perfect fifth, but the first note is B♭ rather than C, which allows Bartók to remain in this pentatonic set (and also to reinforce B♭ as tonal center). +The second instance of the fugato section, not reproduced in its entirety but based on the subject in Example 18, is an exact pitch inversion transposed to begin on C. +The inversion blends seamlessly back into the original subject in measure 363. +The following section (measures 363-389) especially brings out the quartal harmonies within the pentatonic set, so much so that B♭ is obscured as tonal center which allows A♭ to emerge as the goal tone of this section—only to be immediately reinterpreted as a leading tone to the A that begins the recapitulation. +Both B♭ and A♭ are chromatic neighbors to A, which intensifies the arrival on A, and brings out the fact that the appearance of A continues the large-scale whole-tone descent that has been left stranded on B for the entire development section. +Hence, on either side of the middle section of the development we have the alternation FTG-STG-FTG which makes the overall form, with the exception of the Introduction, symmetric. +The Recapitulation +The recapitulation, as we have seen, presents the themes in reverse order. +The second theme is initially presented in A, as part of the whole-tone descent, and proceeds directly to G, where it is restated slightly modified. +It is worth pointing out that the arrival on G at measure 425 is led into by D, which constitutes another “filling in” of the whole-step by the intervening fourth. +The A♯ in measure 438 might initially seem to be a new tonal area, but it leads to D in measure 444, which constitutes a V chord still applied to G. +Rather than resolve this D back to G, however, Bartók shifts briefly to F♯ in measure 456 and leads to E in measure 467. +E and F♯ are both active throughout the entire transition from second theme back to first theme (measures 456-487) which brings out their functions as upper and lower chromatic neighbors to F, which returns triumphantly in measure 488 with the much-anticipated recapitulation of the first theme. +The return of the first theme is certainly immediately recognized as such; however, there are some important differences. +Firstly, its initial appearance in the exposition had a minor flare to it; the first chord in Example 9 is an F-minor triad, and the first four notes of Example 8 ascend the F-minor scale. +In the recapitulation of this theme, shown in Example 19, the first chord is an F-major chord, and the A♭ is replaced by A♮ in the melody. +In fact, the chord progression of the first four measures of Example 19 can be thought of tonally as I-vi-V in F major—while we are reluctant to say that this passage is in major (the conspicuous A♭ in measure 490 easily brings doubt to this interpretation), we can certainly say that the minor flare of the beginning has been replaced by a major flare here in the recapitulation. +Paul Wilson also discusses the inherent symmetry of the movement, although his interpretation is somewhat different. +In addition to the “mode”-shift, we notice that the metric dissonance shown in Examples 9 and 10 no longer appears (notice how regular the rhythm of the accompanying figure is in Example 19) and also that the written meter no longer changes. +In other words, the piece, in becoming more regular, is beginning to drive towards the finish—because of the formal structure, the recapitulation of the first theme also serves as the closing section of the movement. +Indeed, this section has the feel of a Coda to it—it is much shorter than any other major section or subsection, and the tonic harmony is active throughout. +See Wilson, 168-170. +Bartók is one of the many early-twentieth century composers whose music fits entirely in the gray area between tonality and atonality. +While we know from his writings that he often composed with a tonal centers and relationships in mind, and that he regularly applied tonal structures and forms to his compositions, by merely glancing at any one of his pieces we can see that tonality as it is understood in the common practice period is not at work. +Thanks largely to the work of tonal theorists such as Heinrich Schenker and others, we have a detailed system for analyzing tonal music—their system, however, is virtually useless in analyzing music that falls entirely on the atonal side of the spectrum. +But if we apply it to music such as Bartók’s that is in the middle area, we can come up with some enlightening and perhaps unexpected results. +To do so was the goal of this analysis of the first movement of the Concerto for Orchestra. +By applying our tonal system to music that slips outside of the tonal realm, we not only find the elements of tonality that do remain, but we also pinpoint exactly when and how this music breaks from previous conventions. +It is not disputed that Bartók’s music has great expressive power—perhaps now we can understand why. +References +The abbreviations FTG and STG stand for First Theme Group and Second Theme Group, respectively. +While “tonality” in this piece (and in Bartók’s music in general) is quite different from its classical interpretation, we find that the harmonic structure is at least analogous to the standard sonata-form structure. +Bartók’s music, although it is often difficult to call completely tonal, never entirely sheds itself of tonal elements and structure. +To begin with, the movement is in F. +When we say “in F,” we do not imply F major (or minor, for that matter)—the major/minor tonal system in general does not apply to this piece—but rather that the pitch-class F is the tonal center of the movement, and acts analogously to the tonic in a Mozartian sonata movement. +Using this interpretation, we can map out the local tonics (tonal centers) used throughout the movement, as shown in Example 2. +Tonal Structure and Form in Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra (I) +In this example, the barlines divide the formal sections of the piece (Introduction–Exposition–Development­–Recapitulation)—so we can immediately see that the tonic F is not established until the exposition begins. +Beginning with the exposition, the large-scale progression of tonal centers is a whole-tone descent from F to F, represented by the stemmed notes in Example 2, while the Introduction ascends from C♯ to F through D♯ (shown as D♭ and E♭ in the graph) in a quasi-bass Anstieg. +The middle pitch of the descent, B, acts as the “dominant” to F, based on its symmetrical division of the whole-tone scale and the fact that the second theme appears in B in the exposition. +This remains true even with one of his last compositions, the Concerto for Orchestra, written two years before his death in 1943. +Bartók has often applied a tonic-dominant relationship to a pitch-class and its tritone partner, and even admits to using that as a compositional framework in his fifth string quartet. +See Bartók, 414-415. +In this particular movement, Bartók feigns moving to the tonal dominant, C, for the second theme before reinterpreting C as a chromatic passing tone between D♭ and B—this and other subtleties shown in Example 2 will be explained in detail in later sections. +Our analysis will focus instead on relating the foreground activity to the overarching background structure. +The graph in Example 2 will serve as a point of departure for the subsequent analysis; while we will periodically refer back to some of its specific elements, it should be understood that even when not explicitly referenced, this graph serves as the explanatory goal of this paper. +The Introduction +As Paul Wilson points out, the title “Introduzione” given to the movement as a whole seems to apply only to the first 75 measures. +The discussion that follows analyzes the first movement of the Concerto, focusing on the tonal structures at play throughout the movement. +The Introduction does not relate thematically to any of the main sections of the movement—in fact, it is the third movement that draws its thematic material from this section—but the harmonic and motivic principles at play here foreshadow some important elements of the entire piece. +To begin with, the opening motive in the celli and basses, shown in Example 3, outlines a pentatonic set and strongly presents C♯ as the tonal center. +The pentatonic set here is exclusively a pitch-class set, and its incarnations throughout the movement are devoid of any connotations associated with the pentatonic scale. +Indeed, this set can be seen more as a by-product of stacked perfect fourths than a generative element itself. +The perfect fourth in fact generates much of the motivic and harmonic material of the entire movement, and its importance is immediately evident in the Introduction with the opening bass motive. +Furthermore, the following two instances of this opening motive, shown in Examples 4 and 5, remove any doubt as to the motivic importance of the perfect fourth, and in turn diminish the importance of the pentatonic set. +Example 4 transitions from C♯ to F♯, and adds pitch-class E to the pentatonic set of Example 3, creating a six-note set of stacked fourths. +Example 5 shows the true dominance of the perfect fourth; the set created is a ten-note set derived by stacking fourths. +If we begin from the final D♯ and ascend the circle of fourths until we reach C we obtain the entire set presented in this example. +Each note is either approached or left (or both) by a fourth, and the structural motion is from F♯ to D♯. +The overall motion in the first 29 measures is C♯ to D♯, through F♯; these are represented enharmonically in Example 2 as D♭, E♭ and G♭. +So the prevailing structural motion of the movement as a whole is a descending whole step and the prevailing melodic motion is a (usually ascending) perfect fourth. +We can connect the two by noting that the descending whole step consists of two ascending fourths; indeed, the structural whole-tone descent is often “filled in” with the intervening fourth. +This motion is exemplified in Example 2 in the second theme group (mm. +We will also examine to what degree a “tonal” reading of this movement is limited in its analytical potential in an attempt to pinpoint exactly where Bartók strays from common-practice compositional techniques. +Each time the motion in Examples 3 through 5 breaks from chains of fourths, the same sequence of intervals occurs: two descending perfect fourths separated by an ascending major second (-5, +2, -5); each instance of this intervallic cell is bracketed in the examples. +This sequence of intervals is the inversion of those found in the second head motive of the first theme of the exposition, shown in measures 2-3 of Example 8. +So although there is no thematic relation between the Introduction and the main sections of the movement, within the first 29 measures we can already see structural, harmonic and motivic elements that apply to the movement as a whole. +The section from measures 35-50 is centered on E; upon the return of D♯, enharmonically respelled as E♭, in measure 58, we see that E acts as its upper-neighbor. +This relationship is somewhat obscured by measures 51-57 however; while there is no clear tonal center for this section, G appears in the outer voices in measure 51, although the harmonic material is reminiscent of C minor. +The concluding motive of this section in the violins (the bracketed sections of Example 6), as well as the bass motive of measure 58ff. +(Example 7), are related to the first head motive of the first theme, which is shown in the first measure of Example 8. +All three of these motives span a tritone, which as mentioned is the “dominant” relationship in this movement. +For this reason white walls are favored over colored ones for both galleries and architectural spaces. +Why in a world filled with color do we feel the need to purge it from our space? +“In the white painted room the clarity of spatial sensation and disposition was surest and most convincing, all the details of the form and color of the furnishings could be developed undisturbed in front of this background…In this a form was discovered which was completely convincing in its simplicity and which could be seen as one of the essential formulas for wall treatment in “closed” spaces” +In the 19th century it became fashionable for bourgeois women to dress in white, while men dressed in black (Wigley). +What exactly is the debate between colorlessness vs color and more specifically can black and white be considered non-colors? +These distinctions proved a certain rational order, only attained by those able to afford of it. +White walls, white clothing, they both require much more maintenance than something colored where a stain can merely hide away among the other colors. +Crisp whiteness on the other hand expresses a sort of luxury, and leisure. +White clothing proved that someone was of a level of society in which they were not forced to work, for the clothing would immediately become soiled if not and thus the reason why women who were the ones to stay at home dressed in all white, while men who were the ones to go out and work wore black, for black did in fact hide stains. +Both as well were signs of the modern age man had reached. +“Pure white was de rigueur, partly because of its exciting novelty, partly because it emphasized the smoothly mechanical texture, and pointed the contrast between it and surrounding nature” +The use of white was proof that man had conquered nature. +The use of white and black in dress and architecture also became a way of distinguishing oneself from the vulgar, normal, lower classes. +Ever since the dawn of man, human society has evolved in ways which attempt to ultimately control nature. +Furthermore, with the advent of industrialization the invention of new synthetic dyes meant that color in dress became democratized for all classes. +Now, anyone could afford to wear colorful clothing and the masses began to dress themselves in what once would have been inconceivable to them. +Thus said, the use of black in white in wardrobe perhaps was a way for the new bourgeoisie to distinguish themselves from the decadence of the upper class and the vulgarity from the low. +“In the prevailing styles of the European bourgeoisie, there long survived a tendency to limit the use of color, with strong emphasis on what are generally thought of as non colors, such as white, black and gray” +Seeing as color is something of the natural world, age old and archaic, washing it away from our lives is the ultimate form of rising above the physical world. +Another reason why it is believed that the bourgeoisie took preference in black and white is because of the Victorian sobriety of the age and their obsession with purity and cleanliness. +Wearing black and white also marked the distinction of labor between men and women and in a highly rigid and segmented society, the wearing of different colors seemed the most obvious way to do so. +This simplicity of dress was seen as a mark of the modern man. +Other major technologies during the age of industrialization also had an effect on this preference for black and white. +Photography took over as a means of portraiture for the bourgeois and the upper class and despite the fact that it was possible to color the photographs, for the most part they were left in black and white because it was seen as more “natural”. +Above all, it is believed that the expanse of literacy and the printed word, mainly the newspaper, had a profound effect in influencing the choice of black and white. +“This world was viewed as orderly and relatively uniform, a world in “black and white” +This led to the idea of writing = rationality = production that confined images, especially images in color, to the emerging field of “art”, which was understood as an essential activity but one that was essentially unproductive, while it assigned to the two-toned and orderly world of printed paper the role of a daily guide to existence” +Black and white became a symbol for the superiority of man’s intellect and technology. +This then translated down into the world of fashion, as seen with the distinction between black and white clothing, as well as art, namely photography but also film and as discussed before architecture and gallery space. +Seeing as since the time of Aristotle, form was valued over that of color, the arts which did not require color to be enjoyed were perceived to be that of a higher form. +The explosion of mass production and printing allowed for a plethora of colorful advertising and consumer goods which came to be known as kitsch. +“Kitsch is a product of the industrial revolution which urbanized the masses of Western Europe and America and established what is called universal literacy” +Kitsch made cheap what once was truly cultural by the way it reproduced it d infinitum. +Greenberg continues by saying, “Kitsch, using for raw material the debased and academicized simulacra of genuine culture, welcomes and cultivates this insensibility. +It is the source of its profits. Kitsch is mechanical and operates by formulas. +Kitsch is vicarious experience and faked sensations. +Kitsch changes according to style, but remains always the same. +Kitsch is the epitome of all that is spurious in the life of our times. +Kitsch pretends to demand nothing of its customers except their money -- not even their time”. +With the advent of kitsch came a great need for the distinction between higher and lower artforms. +Inorganic nature has only the language of color. +Thus said, this along with the influence of black and white print perhaps was the cause for the belief that which was black and white was deemed a serious, high art, while that which was colorful was mere rubbish and imitation for the lower classes. +Of course during the early stages of color film and photography, the quality was so poor that it gave a cheap look, whereas black and white film really allowed one to see the light and the shadows in the images. +For the play of light and form was key in demonstrating the true art form. +It is by color alone that a certain stone tells us it is a sapphire or emerald… color, then, is the peculiar characteristic of the lower forms of nature, while drawing becomes the medium of expression, more and more dominant, the higher we rise in the scale of being” +That was what made up the essence of an image, not the artificial, or superficial filling in of form with color. +Color was thought to distract the viewer from the soul of the image. +These beliefs have changed since color technology as tweeked to the point of being almost better than reality. +Still though black and white is seen as something of a more sober tradition. +These non colors allow for the appreciation of color. +When something is black and white, it allows the mind to fill in and imagine for itself the amazing colors that must exist beyond the screen. +It is for this reason that ultimately the use of black and white is seen as more of an intellectual process. +Whether it mean going beyond the mind or simply the purity of non color, the use of black and white has been debated over for the last hundred years. +Now we have entered an era where we are seeing once again more color, but perhaps it is human instinct, to want to surpass and rebel against generations before, so possibly we shall return to a state of non color veneration. +Thus is the ebb and flow of life. +The world is made up of a myriad of colors. color gives distinction to our life, it gives flavor and meaning. +In the Far East, reaching a state of colorless-ness is associated with the highest state of spiritual being, the state of Zen. +What is typical of this sort of ascetism is the art of expressing as much as possible using the minimum as an ideal. +For them, reaching the greatest depths of spirituality demanded expression in its most minimal form. +This reduction of color and expression proved the purity the artist had reached within himself, it was a means of reducing down to the essence of a thing. +In the Elimination of color in the Far East, Izutsu explains though how this ultimate state of minimalism can only be reached through an appreciation and fine knowledge of color. +“This artistic acestism, i.e., the suppression of externals and the reduction of all colors to black and white, manifests its real aesthetic function only against the background of a highly refined sensibility for colors and their subtle hues. +What would our lives be without color? +At the same time in our modern society, color has been seen as an external threat to be purged from the enlightened mind and space. +For black and white can only be seen as distinguishing against a background of color and for this very reason one can assert that both black and white are colors in themselves as non-colors. +It is through the absence of color that one brings to mind the colors that are no longer present. +It is up to the mind to fill in the blank space. +Without color one could not appreciate the purity of the black and white space. +Black and white are the consummation of all colors into one. +“Black is life; it is the infinite possibility of expression and development. Black here is not sheer black. +For in it’s negation of all colors, all colors are positively affirmed” +It is through these means that one finds the essence in a thing. +In Western society, this purging of color began with the rejection of ideals of generations past. +Eliminating color was a way of eliminating the decadence of the 18th century. +Society turned to minimalism as a way of cleansing life, representing modernity. +color became a moral issue, seen as something sensuous and dangerous in its secondary nature to the essence of life and form. +color is seen as corrupting, intoxicating, disorienting and in art, has come to be associated with the vulgar and the kitsch. +“The predominance of color at the expense of drawing is a usurpation of the relative over the absolute, of fleeting appearance over permanent form, of physical impression over the empire of the soul” +color rests on the surface of an object, it is superficial, cosmetic and therefore deceptive since it hides the true nature of that thing. +It is something which speaks to the senses, not the mind, it is external and therefore secondary to life. +It deals with the body, emotions, not the intellect. +It strays from reason in the way which it consumes and manipulates life. +It is a descent in the way it makes one lose consciousness and enter into the physical world of desire, and to desire is to lose control over oneself. +We went from times of celebrating color and decoration to one of minimalism where black and white were placed at the front as representations of modernity and ultimate transcendence. +Thus, began the cult of the black and white. +White is seen as representing spirituality, the heavens, and light, it is all which is modern, it signifies the opposite of the carnal nature of color. +It is the control of nature, and the body and represents the modern man. +“WHITE is the spiritual color of our times, the clearness which directs all out actions. +It is neither grey white, nor vory white, but pure white. +WHITE is the color of modern times, the color which dissipates a whole era; our era is perfection, purity, certitude. +We have superceded both the ‘brown’ of decadence and classiscm and the ‘blue’ of divisionism, the cult of the blue ky, the gods with green beards and the spectrum. +WHITE pure white. +For these reasons black and white have been placed at the top of the hierarchy of colors. +Abolishing color means controlling color. +It keeps an eye on all the objects it frames. +But before that, it keeps an eye on itself, watching its freshly laundered and neatly folded fabric for the stain of color” +On the other hand, we need color in order to distinguish black and white. +Just as those from the Far East, the purity of white implies what has been washed away and thus makes the white glitter even more. +They are linked intrinsically together, one cannot go without the other. +“White is the setting for color. +In a mosque for example, the architectonic effect of its white garment is assisted by a strategic use of color: “All these things are clothed in a majestic coat of whitewash. +The forms stand out clearly; the impeccable construction displays all its boldness. +What is the significance for this preference for black and white when it comes to high art? +At times a high stylobate of delightful ceramic produces a blue vibration.” +The sensuous vibration of the color clarifies the white surface whose limit it marks” +We need this opposition between color and ‘non-color’ to make distinction between the two, otherwise neither would hold such significance. +Reaching Transcendence through the Elimination of color: The Ideal Minimalism of Black and White +White helps to harmonize colors that would otherwise clash, it brings together and unites. +“White expresses a certain incorporeality. +The use of white is therefore decisive for the bodily appearance of a space. +Concrete bodies decrease the space more or less depending on their color value. +Against white, one can actually establish the intensity of clashing colors; white determines the tone in the first place. +and how can the state legislature single out two counties (first Napa, now Sonoma) for this treatment? +are they going to go through the wine-producing counties one by one? +JohnLopresti said... +vive la OIVV OIV_Wine_Labelling_Standard_EN_2006 re at Fredric K's BTYH website there is a review discussing MacRostie pinot noir. +I had thought of the kiltman with respect to a new AVA in Yorkville highlands, thinking the Scot might have interest in playing the bagpipes in the uplands. +Then, at Steve's site there is an interesting discussion of his current ongoing efforts with blends from Carneros and Sonoma Coast. +There are 13 AVAs in Sonoma County. +It's easy to get lost in nomenclatures, when one is striving for new concepts. +In a way, all this tries to approach terroir from a slight distance; plus the historical distinctions between the two premium distinctive varietal regions, Napa county and Sonoma county. +Winkler heat summation datapoints also clarified several decades ago some of the plant physiologic underpinnings of why Napa county and Sonoma county were the natural leaders in premium winegrape production. +The problem, of course, is that by placing the words "Sonoma County" on a bottle of wine that is made with grapes grown in "Russian River Valley", "Dry Creek Valley", "Sonoma Valley" or any other AVA in Sonoma +There are many reasons why the new labeling requirement makes sense from all these perspectives. +JohnLopresti said... +sorry, I keep forgetting the Fermentation site's html protocol; here is the OIVV label guideline link again: +El Jefe said... +OK, so here's the real requirement: "Any wine labeled with an American Viticultural Area established yada yada, that is located entirely within yada yada, shall bear the designation "Sonoma County" on the label in a type size not smaller than two millimeters on containers of more than 187 milliliters or smaller than one millimeter on containers of 187 milliliters or less. +If I recall correctly, this is almost exactly the same as the requirement for the government warning type size. +So the answer seems pretty clear to me: just add "Sonoma County" to the government warning. +Johnonwine said... +They [Honore Comfort and the Sonoma County Vintners] point to the prestige that the "Napa Valley" designation carries. +But this prestige has nothing to due with the law that demands "Napa Valley", in addition to simply "Rutherford", be placed on these wines. +It has to do entirely with the promotional effort that has gone into making "Napa Valley" a place associated with great wines. +Such an association will not be made with "Sonoma County" wines...ever. +Tom, I would suggest that all Napa wineries, good and bad, benefit from having Napa Valley on the label; it is indeed a great example of marketing - what you describe as promotional effort. +County, consumers learn absolutely nothing about the wine in the bottle. +Sonoma County, with roughly half of the wineries of Napa County, wins roughly twice as many gold medals in national and international wine competitions. +That, the fact that their wines cost less on average, and the wineries are friendlier, less snooty is a compelling story to get out to the public. +Heck, if folks knew all that, maybe folks would be seeking out bottles with "Sonoma County" on the label. +You suggest that this is a bad law, that Sonoma County will never be associated with high quality wine in the way Napa County is. +I disagree, but I am eternally hopeful, optimistic that the Sonoma County Vintners will inject a little passion and not more of the same old staid and boring in their marketing communications. +There no evidence that grapes grown in "Sonoma County" have any single distinguishing feature derived from the fact that they were grown inside the borders of Sonoma County. Assemblywoman Evans concludes, "By improving consumer education on each bottle, conjunctive labeling will unleash the full potential of our delicious wines to represent Sonoma around the world. +I have confidence they will change, retool, improve, live up to their responsibilities. +I worked selling and marketing Sonoma County wines, I won awards for my marketing efforts. +The story is simple. +People are receptive to it. +Selling the magic of Sonoma County wines is easy. +That's my take anyway, I don't aim to be contrarian, but I don't mind being the sole supporter of the law - as a Sonoma County born and bred wine guy. +She's correct. +Beginning in 2014, "Sonoma County" will receive a tremendous boost in recognition due to the conjunctive labeling law that forces vintners to add more wording to their labels—whether they think the words "Sonoma County" help or hurt their marketing efforts. +Frankly, if I was making high end wine from the "Sonoma Valley", "Sonoma Mountain" or "Sonoma Coast" AVAs that depended in part on the quality recognition that comes wtih these AVAs, I'd be pissed that I'm forced now to put a place-name on my label that told my buyers nothing of real value about the wine behind my label and, in some cases, demonstrably lowered its perceived quality. +Honore Comfort, Executive Director of the Sonoma County Vintners Association and an outstanding representative for Sonoma County wines noted this: ". +"This moment ...marks the beginning of a stronger Sonoma County brand for generations to come." +Proponents of the new Sonoma County Conjunctive labeling law like to point to a similar law that demands "Napa Valley" be placed on all wines that are made from grapes grown in that appellation, rather than simply using a sub appellation. +They point to the prestige that the "Napa Valley" designation carries. +But this prestige has nothing to due with the law that demands "Napa Valley", in addition to simply "Rutherford", be placed on these wines. +It has to do entirely with the promotional effort that has gone into making "Napa Valley" a place associated with great wines. +The vintners in Sonoma County simply can't make a case for "Sonoma County" having any meaning or for a region as vast as "Sonoma County" delivering any degree of quality to the grapes. +Pushed as an effort to promote "Sonoma County" wines and a consumer education effort, the new law instead forces vintners to needlessly sully their package and undermines their own marketing efforts. +Why is it important for someone making "Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir" or "Sonoma Valley Zinfandel" to help promote "Sonoma County", a designation that has no ability to define the quality or character of the wines in my Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir or my Sonoma Valley Zinfandel? +This is an example of a County usurping the private label real estate, and it's very valuable real estate, for the sake of promoting something that is of little use to private commercial interests. +Ask yourself...If putting the words "Sonoma County" on one's wines was such a great thing, why don't more vintners who make "Dry Creek Valley", "Russian River Valley", "Alexander Valley" or "Sonoma Valley" wines already put these words on their label? +They legally could...if they wanted to. +The new Sonoma County conjunctive labeling law is the equivalent of the State of California and the County of Sonoma claiming imminent domain over the labels of hundreds of vintners. +Eminent Domain Used To Usurp Wine Label Real Estate +Nick Perdiew said... +You found a way to tie this in nicely. +This is a case of over-reaching government regulation, costing business unnecessarily and burdening them with more regulations. +It's just unnecessary. +It also is a 'social promotion' in the sense that great Sonoma wines that now are forced to use "Sonoma County" will be giving some of their credibility to their lesser neighbors. +Shades of wealth redistribution as well. +Ew, ew, ew. +James McCann said... +How many hundreds or thousands of labels will have to be re-submitted to the TTB between now and 2014? +John Kelly said... +I'd be pissed that I'm forced now to put a place-name on my label that told my buyers nothing of real value about the wine behind my label and, in some cases, demonstrably lowered its perceived quality. +Exactly, Tom. +And I am really pissed. +And so is every other producer I have discussed this issue with. +I still don't know whose interests are being served by this useless piece of crap legislation. +Yet, the law does nothing to educate consumers. +I completely agree with you when you state: "Such an association will not be made with 'Sonoma County' wines...ever." +Duh. +I've got real skin in this game. +We are going to have to totally redesign our front label to make room for "Sonoma County" - and so far every mock-up is cluttered and decreases the impact of our brand. +Our best option looks like we will go to "North Coast" or "California" for our front label appellation, and discuss the grape source, vineyard name and meaningful AVA on the back label. +Passed unanimously out of the California Assembly and Senate, AB 1798 now awaits the Governor's signature, which it will surely obtain. +Fermentation: The Daily Wine Blog +Who is going to compensate me for this? +I estimate the value to be in six figures, and we are a small winery. +For a larger winery with a better-established brand the value is much higher. +Eminent domain is exactly right - this is nothing less than governmental "taking. +The legislators who backed this should be ashamed. +Hardy Wallace said... +Thanks Tom-- This law is such BS. +JohnLopresti said... +I support the new labeling requirement. +Sonoma county always was the sheep ranch joke in the era of Napa's well-deserved, early, global fame. +Together we have led the world into modern viticulture, with the help of UC Davis, and in some pretty good company from other regions. +I suppose the new law is all Sacramento hype. +But I think it will improve northcoast revenue and dignity. +According to Noreen Evans, an Assembly sponsor of the bill, this new conjunctive labeling law "requires that any wine labeled with an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located entirely within Sonoma County - – like Russian River Valley or Dry Creek Valley - must also include the word "Sonoma County" on the label, starting in 2014. +Now after several decades in Sonoma county I have learned to appreciate its uniqueness, for its viticulture and other industries. +The town of Sonoma is on a typical route people follow driving from Solano County to Sonoma County. +The ambience in the town Sonoma is only an enclave; it is rightfully proud of its heritage as a village, and for its viticultural traditions. +But Sonoma county encompasses much more territory, and other AVAs within the county are starkly different from the characteristics of Sonoma valley and the town of Sonoma. +Vive la nouveau Sonoma County. +Nick Perdiew said in to JohnLopresti... +John, Good of you to comment and good to have dissent. +What do you make of the fact that vintners *already* are free to put Sonoma County on any label they want? +I admit, I don't see the reasoning of your argument here. +The issue of the costs to vintners is non-trivial too as you can see above. +Bill Cadman said... +Tom-- I wonder what the response would be in Napa and Sonoma if the vintners in Fresno convinced the state government to require "California" be put on all labels of wine made within California? +JohnLopresti said... +These past few years, 'eminent domain' has become a libertarian property rights flashpoint, since the Kelo v New London, CT, case concerning urban renewal polemics. +I can see Tom W's concerns, too. +There was a counterpoint in the label world after some court cases resulted in a company's revising its grape sourcing to comply with tightened requirements for 75% in-county fruit in order to remain legal in designating the wine as from "Napa". +One rambling article's author counted 16 occurrences of the word Napa on the newly designed label of a famous budget wine producer's 2005 Napa cabernet sauvignon. +JohnLopresti said... +The links for @2:04: +I was disappointed, though not surprised, to see that today a conjunctive labeling law dictating that "Sonoma County" be placed on every label on wines produced from grapes grown in Sonoma County was unanimously passed by the California Legislature . +fredric koeppel said... +what business is it of State government what terminology goes on wine labels?

Checks to be made at the point of delivery of the wine. +"Unelected judges should not set alcohol policy; this responsibility rightly rests with individual state legislatures, as guaranteed under the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution." +Judges never have set policy. +State legislatures always have. +This is the big lie the wholesalers tell. +Judges merely tell the state when they have reached beyond what the 21st Amendment allows. +After that, the state legislatures, in every state where litigation has affected badly crafted laws, went about legislating a fix. +Surely the wholesalers don't mean to say that state alcohol laws should in no way be required to abide by the principles in the u.S. +Constitution. +What next, will the wholesalers argue the 21st amendment give the states the right to prohibit women from buying alcohol? +Will they argue that state laws banning African-Americans from being distributors is legal under the 21st Amendment? +But what is truly remarkable (and likely a result of the wholesalers' hubris stemming from 75 years of being granted government welfare) is their willingness to misrepresent facts, ignore the truth, and mislead in their defense of H.R. 5034. +"State laws that raise concerns can and should be addressed in the state legislature." +The wholesalers would have argued that the racist "separate but equal" philosophy had no business being litigated and that we should wait for the legislatures that enacted the racist laws to overturn them with new laws. +We have courts precisely to adjudicate concerns with the fairness and constitutionality of state laws. +The hypocrisy, misleading notions and disinformation being featured at the wholesalers website supporting H.R. 5034 is staggering. +Thus originated Las Vegas’s reputation as an adult theme park. +The areas surrounding the springs were desert oases: sprawling collections of grasses, trees, and wildlife. +Additional catalysts for the valley’s growth came from World War II. +By 1945, the population had grown to almost 20,000, with workers and airmen moving in at a rapid pace. +But this was not yet the Las Vegas of folklore. +The El Rancho Vegas (1941) was the first, followed by the Last Frontier (1943). +During this period, East Coast Syndicate member Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel earned a foothold as a local casino operator. +When the Flamingo opened in December 1946, it did so with Hollywood flair and the new Vegas flash. +But the Mafia bosses who financed the operation were displeased with its performance; Siegel was murdered in the summer of 1947. +Many springs lay in areas that would eventually become the center of the modern Las Vegas metropolis. +Despite its initial failings, Siegel’s Flamingo survived him, as did mob infiltration of casinos. +Freely flowing “comps” (complimentary food, drink, and entertainment) were the order of the day, with mob bosses content to provide an environment of pleasurable excess as long as the cash kept rolling in. +While the mob was running the casinos, promoters were busily selling Las Vegas as a glamorous Hollywood in the desert. +From the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s, Las Vegas nurtured a growing sense that it was the “Entertainment Capital of the World. ” +Emerging stars, no longer content with playing small nightclubs, came to Las Vegas with dreams of making it big. +Many of them did. +For about 4000 years, the Archaics thrived in a culture that included many signs of early civilization. +The Rat Pack — originally Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. , Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop, all in town to film Ocean’s 11 — landed at the Sands in January 1960 for a legendary stay. +As a result, more casinos emerged along the Strip. +The Thunderbird, Desert Inn, Sahara, Sands, and Riviera hotels were erected during this period, luring a curious clientele drawn by tales of all-night partying, exclusive entertainment, and cheap accommodations. +There was no longer any question: when you wanted some unbridled adult fun, Las Vegas was the place to be. +New Legitimacy +Organized crime was soon to have a formidable adversary in its bid to control Las Vegas — corporate cash. +Though Las Vegas had developed a powerful local economy, few major outside investments were made in the city, due primarily to mob infiltration and its inherent ties to illegal activities. +That would change dramatically with the 1966 arrival of billionaire Howard Hughes. +Signs of even more advancement appeared halfway through the first millennium a.d. , when the Anasazi Indians inhabited the valley. +A legitimate businessman, Hughes was nonetheless eccentric and dramatic, a style suited to the Las Vegas ethos. +True to the myth, the reclusive Hughes immediately cloistered himself in the Desert Inn’s penthouse. +Several weeks later he was asked — then ordered — to vacate the room to make room for high rollers, whereupon he promptly bought the property and fired the management. +Thus began Hughes’ legendary three-year, $300-million Las Vegas buying spree. +When it was over, Hughes owned six casinos, an airport, and an airline, along with numerous plots of land stretching from the Strip to the mountains. +Hughes’ actions would have beneficial repercussions, both immediate and lasting. +Because of the new legitimacy Las Vegas acquired from Hughes’ investments, established companies such as Hilton Hotels bought into the gaming business, and their influence helped draw a line in the desert sand between legitimate operations and mob casinos, where illegal skimming of profits was rampant. +That, combined with the formation of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, would signal the beginning of the end for heavy mob influence in the city. +Far more progressive than the Archaics, the Anasazi utilized such formal agricultural techniques as irrigation to assist their harvest. +The legitimization of gambling led to its increased legalization across the US. +What was once a sure thing became much more competitive. +Casino operators had to reassess the nature of their business. +The first to really do so was Steve Wynn, a Las Vegas resident and owner of the Golden Nugget. +In the mid-1980s, Wynn began plans to reinvigorate Las Vegas with a new resort. +He bought several Strip properties — the Silver Slipper and Castaways among them — and demolished them to make way for a new kind of resort — Mirage —  which became an instant success. +Wynn’s demolition of the existing properties started a trend that, more than any other, describes Las Vegas at the end of the 20th century: removal of old properties in exchange for the potential of new ones. +This trend has led to many more demolitions, including the Dunes (replaced by Bellagio), Aladdin (the new Aladdin) and Sands (Venetian) hotels. +Wynn’s casinos have also set new standards. +They can no longer be just a box filled with gaming tables, restaurants, and a showroom. +Excalibur, the MGM Grand, the Luxor, and New York-New York all followed Mirage’s lead during the 1990s, offering themed environments and attractions for families. +As evidence of the “ever-faster” nature of the city, by the middle of the 1990s the new approach showed signs of backlash, with many visitors criticizing the mediocrity of the Las Vegas experience. +This permitted the Anasazi to achieve a benchmark of advanced society — the ability to live in permanent shelters year-round without need to follow wildlife. +The latest approach is perhaps the best of the post-mob era: the comprehensive resort. +New resorts offer attractions and amenities modeled after those available in top resort cities worldwide, including luxurious spas, signature restaurants, and exclusive boutiques. +Additionally, a handful of resorts — such as the South-Seas themed Mandalay Bay, the Mirage, and the new Four Seasons — are now catering exclusively to the luxury travel market. +The crème de la crème of Las Vegas deluxe is Steve Wynn’s Bellagio. +Perhaps more important, such high-end accommodations raise the standards of expectations back to the mythology of the Rat Pack era. +As it changed from mob gam bling town to corporate gaming venue, the population of Las Vegas skyrocketed. +Over 20,000 additional hotel rooms have been added in a few short years, including resorts in Summerlin and Lake Las Vegas. +Still, the future of Las Vegas is sure to be determined as much by the pioneering spirit that built the city as by anything else. +With its new look and new aim, the prospects are good despite the warnings. +Inevitably, some people will get burned in the process, but others will rise triumphantly from the fray to even greater successes. +And that, more than anything, is the one constant that characterizes the past, present, and future of Las Vegas. +Unable to replicate the agricultural techniques of the Anasazi, the Paiutes were destined to a semi-nomadic lifestyle until European settlers arrived, changing the nature of existence in the valley forever. +During this period, the indigenous people lived in caves, hunting the mammals that gathered at the shoreline. +In the early nineteenth century, America’s western territories were still largely unexplored. +It was not until 1829 that Rafael Rivera, a Mexican scout, found a spring-fed valley and dubbed it Las Vegas — a Spanish name that leaves many modern visitors wondering exactly where “the meadows” really lay. +For fifteen years, Las Vegas was used as a Spanish Trail way-station. +A Brief History +This put Las Vegas on the map and was one of the crucial turning points of its history. +In 1855, Mormon leader Brigham Young responded to promising reports of Las Vegas by sending 30 missionary settlers to the valley; they eventually built a fort not far from today’s Downtown. +Surrounded by acres of farmland hewn from the hard desert, the adobe fort became a focal point for the development of Las Vegas for the next fifty years. +The landscape of the valley changed dramatically over the next 200 centuries. +Additional pressures from arriving miners pushed the missionaries’ plight beyond recovery. +Their supplies scarce, their harvest meager, and their spirit broken, they abandoned the fort in 1858. +Despite the fact that the local land was rich in silver, by 1865 most of the mining traffic through Las Vegas was of prospectors headed to California or Northern Nevada in search of gold. +One opportunist who stayed was Octavius Decatur Gass. +The glaciers feeding the lake melted away and the lake evaporated. +Gass took over the abandoned Mormon fort and 640 acres (260 hectares) surrounding it, dubbing it the Las Vegas Ranch. +He expanded the ranch and irrigated the land so that it would support crops and cattle. +His determination had other results as well: Gass was named a justice of the peace and a territorial legislator. +Despite his ambition, Gass’ success was short-lived. +In the late 1870s, he defaulted on a loan from rancher Archibald Stewart, so Stewart took the Las Vegas Ranch for his own. +True to wild-West stereotypes, Stewart was slain by a neighboring farmer, leaving his strong-willed wife, Helen, to assume the duties of the ranch. +Fossils tell an obscure story of man’s slow and sporadic development. +What happened next would mark the end of the successful Las Vegas Ranch and the beginning of the era of the subdivision seen across almost all of Western America to this day. +Early Habitation +Of Tracks and Tracts +At the turn of the 19th century Los Angeles and Salt Lake City were among the burgeoning metropolises of the new American West. +Though the two cities remained unlinked by rail, this was about to change quickly. +When it did, the Las Vegas Valley (which at the time had a non-native population of less than 30) would change as well. +Around 3000 b.c. , native Archaic Indians began to develop a lasting hunting and gathering culture. +In 1903, officials of the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad arrived in Las Vegas, eager to secure a right-of-way for their Los Angeles–Salt Lake connection. +Las Vegas would serve as a major stopover for crew rest and train repair. +For all this, the railroad needed land. +As mapped, the track traveled directly through Helen Stewart’s Las Vegas Ranch. +Stewart sold 99.5 percent of her ranch to the railroad. +The remainder she returned to the native Paiutes. +In early 1905, the route between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City was completed, and train tracks bore right down the center of the Las Vegas Valley. +On 15 May 1905, the railroad held a land sale — a momentous step in Las Vegas history. +Standing at the depot at Main and Fremont streets, railroad officials auctioned 1200 lots they had subdivided from forty square blocks of desert scrub. +Las Vegas was no longer a small pioneer settlement. +With rail service in place and forty blocks of private property, it was ready to become a real town. +Businesses sprang up overnight, and wooden houses were erected to replace the tent city in which many of the early settlers had lived. +One year after the auction, the population of Las Vegas had ballooned to 1500 residents, a portent of things to come for the next ninety years. +From the beginning, Las Vegas was built to serve travelers. +The railroad needed a way station, and Las Vegas was the place. +Growth continued for ten years, and by 1915 the town had telephones, round-the-clock electricity, and a growing population — many of whom worked in the railroad repair shop. +The inhabited history of the Las Vegas Valley stretches to 23,000 b.c. , when much of the area was covered by a prehistoric lake. +But such heady progress would soon come to a halt. +Union Pacific then consolidated its operations, eliminating the Las Vegas repair facility. +Additionally, Las Vegas had been made a part of Nevada’s new Clark County in 1909, a year when the legislature also outlawed gambling. +These unfortunate circumstances threatened to relegate Las Vegas to the status of a small desert community that could no longer support its 3000 residents. +But the southwest’s growing need for water, combined with Las Vegas’s fortuitous proximity to the Colorado River, would give Las Vegas a second chance to achieve prosperity. +Construction on Hoover Dam (originally Boulder Dam, subsequently renamed for the president who authorized the project) began in 1931 in a canyon 45 miles (72 km) southeast of Las Vegas. +Providing an influx of $165 million to the southwestern economy, Hoover Dam played a major role in preventing Las Vegas from drying up, both financially and literally. +These springs fed a network of streams draining through the Las Vegas Wash to the Colorado River. +Not only did it create jobs, but it also created Lake Mead, the massive reservoir that today provides water to all of southern

ever attempted. +Strangely enough, the study also included pairs of biological brothers that were not twins, and out of the 142 homosexual males studied, only 14, or about 9 %, had homosexual brothers, which is approximately the normal statistical incidence of homosexuality in the general population (Bailey & Pillard). +More and more people are beginning to believe that homosexuality is not a “choice,” but rather a feeling that one is born with. +“choice,” +As one grows older, they become aware of sexual feelings towards other persons. +The only difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals is that while heterosexuals are attracted to members of the opposite sex, homosexuals are attracted to those of the same sex. +Therefore, neither homosexuals nor heterosexuals really have a “choice” in the matter, and asking a homosexual “Why are you attracted to other members of your sex” is likened to asking a heterosexual “Why are you attracted to members of the opposite sex?” +“Why are you attracted to members of the opposite sex?” +After all, why would anyone choose such a difficult lifestyle? +As a homosexual, one risks horrifying their parents, other family members, and friends to the point of losing all contact with them, ruining their career, being condemned by their religion, being beat up for publicly displaying their sexuality, and much much more. +This shows that not only did Plato consider it normal for a male to be attracted to another male, he also believed that it began at a very young age, as the word “boyhood” signifies. +To supplement my findings from research, I have conducted personal interviews with two adolescent homosexual males, James Dobbens and Daniel Woods. +Both were asked how what they thought determined homosexuality (nature vs. nurture) and why, when they realized they were homosexual and how they knew, and similar questions. +Both believed that homosexual was a result of nature, rather than nurture (Dobbens & Woods). +Dobbens reasoned that most parents would not raise their children to be homosexual; “They’re not like ‘My child’s going to be gay!”’ +“They’re not like ‘My child’s going to be gay!”’ +‘My child’s going to be gay!”’ +(Dobbens). +Dobbens believes that he was born homosexual. +When why he was a homosexual, he explained “It’s just the way you are, you can’t explain it, I was just born that way, it’s like asking how the world was made – no one really knows” (Dobbens). +“It’s just the way you are, you can’t explain it, I was just born that way, it’s like asking how the world was made – no one really knows” +He went on to explain that while his nurture did not impact his sexual orientation, it did affect his view of it. +When discussing the role of parents and upbringing in a child’s sexuality, he commented “They can bring you up [to be] open minded to [homosexuality], but they don’t bring you up [to be a homosexual]… I grew up in a place where [homosexuality is accepted], so that’s why I’m so open about being gay; I accept myself… [Whether or not you accept homosexuality and can be honest with yourself if you are homosexual] depends on how you’re brought up” (Dobbens). +“They can bring you up [to be] open minded to [homosexuality], but they don’t bring you up [to be a homosexual]… I grew up in a place where [homosexuality is accepted], so that’s why I’m so open about being gay; I accept myself… [Whether or not you accept homosexuality and can be honest with yourself if you are homosexual] depends on how you’re brought up” +Woods generally agreed with Dobbens, and justified his belief that homosexuality was caused by one’s nature, rather than nurture, when he commented that “there’s nothing in my upbringing that exposed me to anything like [homosexuality]” (Woods). +In fact, Plato even considered love between two members of the same sex to be the only “real and lasting love” and necessary for democracy. +When asked why he was gay, he explained that it is simply “something that I can’t help… embedded in my head; nothing made me do it” (Woods). +He went on to explain that it the same thing as the primitive attraction between males and females, only it was between males and other males. +He added that “nothing happened [to make me homosexual]; it’s always been there. +“nothing happened [to make me homosexual]; it’s always been there. I’ve always been attracted to guys” +I’ve always been attracted to guys” (Woods). +What I find to be extraordinary about Woods’ case is that he remarked how while he has always been sexually attracted go guys, he is romantically attracted to women in the sense that he has always wanted a girlfriend and to be close with other females, etc… but never in a sexual sense. +“always kind of fantasized about getting married [to a female],” +What, exactly, causes homosexuality? +He says that if he married a female with which he shared a strong trust, maybe he could work it out. +“real and lasting love” +“It’s like race. It’s all something you can’t help; it all comes to you… It’s internal, you can’t help it” +It’s all something you can’t help; it all comes to you… It’s internal, you can’t help it” (Woods). +When asked if he thought homosexuality was caused by a gene, he commented that he thought that it was more of an instinct. +He gave the example of birds, which are born with instincts such as knowing how to build a next, or catch their prey. +Woods also thought that maybe it was caused by something in the development of the embryo. +All in all, Woods views homosexuality as “fascinating.” +“fascinating.” +His final thought: “I also believe everyone has at least one homosexual attraction. +“I also believe everyone has at least one homosexual attraction. It’s not black and white [homosexual vs. heterosexual]; it’s a spectrum” +It’s not black and white [homosexual vs. heterosexual]; it’s a spectrum” (Woods). +Yet there are arguments against homosexuality as caused by genetics. +For instance, heterosexual males have an average of five times as many children as homosexual ones, as a female is required to reproduce children, yet homosexuals are, by definition, not sexually attracted to females. +Therefore, from the evolutionary standpoint, homosexuality becomes one of the disadvantageous traits. +Because consequently heterosexual men contribute five times as much genetic information to the next the gene pool, if homosexuality was indeed caused by a gene, it would have died out entirely by now, or at least been reduced immensely in the number of occurrences. +Since neither of these events have yet taken place, it can be concluded that homosexuality is not caused by a gene (Fulkerson). +My findings throughout my research have led me to conclude that there is no definitive answer on what causes homosexuality. +No one knows for sure now (although many think they do), and perhaps no one ever will know the whole truth. +Nonetheless, I am apt to believe that homosexuality is the product of some kind of combination of genetic and environmental causes. +Perhaps one may have a genetic predisposition towards homosexuality that has been passed on from previous generations. +However this does not necessarily determine a homosexual; rather this predisposition must be triggered by environmental factors. +Even Homer wrote about Achilles and Patroclus, who have been considered to be the perfect model of true love (Emond). +This is why Bailey and Pillard found in their study that while they was a greatly elevated chance that two males sharing the same genetic makeup would also share the same sexuality, this was not the case 100 % of the time. +This seems to be the most likely explanation as of now, but even as I write this, new studies are being done. +Perhaps the truth is right around the corner. +Works Cited +APA Online. 2003.

They also do not belong in a court of law!” +They also do not belong in a court of law!” +In 1935, he furthered his claims when he wrote a now famous “Letter to an American Mother” of a homosexual, which stated that “Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness… Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals” (qtd. in Isay 3). +“Letter to an American Mother” +“Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness… Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals” +However, the general public of the 1800s and early 1900s, including the medical professionals, regarded homosexuality as a curable mental illness. +Treatments such as castration, hysterectomy, lobotomy, and electroshock therapy were used as attempted cures. +By the mid 1900s, psychotherapy became the most common “cure,” and many homosexuals spent countless hours being analyzed in hopes of changing their sexual preference (Dudley 125). +Dr. Evelyn Hooker, a heterosexual psychologist, conducted a ground-breaking study in the mid 1950s that went along similar reasoning as Freud. +She disagreed with the popular belief at the time that homosexuality was a mental illness, and concluded that there was no significant psychological difference between homosexual and heterosexual men; “gay” men were no more insane than their “straight” counterparts (Marcus 183). +“gay” +Documented homosexuality dates as far back as ancient Greece and other cultures of the time, where it was considered to be a very normal and natural occurrence (Emond). +Fortunately, many prominent psychiatrists also believed that homosexuality was not an illness, and their lobbying, along with the innovative study performed by Hooker, who has been referred to as “the Rosa Parks of the gay movement” convinced the American Psychiatric Association Board of Trustees to vote to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as a mental illness in December of 1973. +Just over a year later, the American Psychological Association also removed homosexuality from their list of mental illnesses (Marcus 11). +The American Psychological Association further reiterated this belief when an overwhelming majority of the Council of Representatives adopted the Resolution on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation in 1997, which publicly chastised those who attempted to “cure” homosexuality by means of various forms of treatment. +“cure” +It stated, rather that homosexuality was merely a difference in the opinion and values of the common person, but must still be respected as an individual orientation, and thus treated as one (Resolution on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation). +Perhaps one of the most famous studies on this topic was concluded in 1991 by Michael Bailey, an assistant professor of psychology at Northwestern University, and Richard Pillard, an associate professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine, and found that sexual orientation in males is largely due to genetics. +For two years, these men studied the number of occurrences of homosexuality in both monozygotic, or identical twins (a set of twins coming from the same fertilized egg and thus having identical DNA), and dizygotic, or fraternal twins (a set of twins from too separate zygotes, causing them to have similar DNA, but not any more so than that of two ordinary siblings), in addition to adoptive brothers of gay males (meaning that all of these males would have been raised in the same environment). +In his book The Symposium, Plato wrote “Those who are halves of a man whole pursue males, and being slices, so to speak, of the male, love men throughout their boyhood, and take pleasure in physical contact with men” (qtd. in Isay 11). +In total, 110 pairs of twins (identical and fraternal) and 142 sets of male and their adopted brothers were studied, where at least one of the two had been classified as homosexual, either by self-identification or other means. +“Those who are halves of a man whole pursue males, and being slices, so to speak, of the male, love men throughout their boyhood, and take pleasure in physical contact with men” +Out of the 56 homosexual males who had identical twins, 29, or approximately 52 % of their identical twin brothers were also found to be homosexual, as compared to only 12, or approximately 22 % of the 54 non-identical twins of homosexual males, and 6, or approximately 11 % of the 57 adopted brothers of homosexual males who were unrelated in terms of genetics. +Pretty cool, right? +Google TGI Friday's Fan Woody and it looks pretty good. +But then something not so awesome happened. +All those fans wanted their free burgers and they wanted them now! +TGI Friday's completely lost control of the page and eventually doled out a lot of free burgers. +Now from a short term perspective I'm sure they did ok on the deal. +People came in and ate their food. +But they could have accomplished that with coupons in the mail, the newspaper or by an email list. +But they decided to go the Social Media route. +Now, let's take a look at what the Friday's FanWoody Facebook page looks like today: Whoops! +Oh, the numbers look good, but when you dig a little deeper a different picture emerges. +Apparently Woody and his 900,000+ fans went poof . +How come? +I'm guessing it had something to do with the venom and general anarchy the page had created by buying fans rather than growing them. +A TGI Friday's Facebook page does exist, with roughly a third of the fans they used to have. +TGI Friday's pretty much had to spray Agent Orange on their relationship with 600,000 people. +I think plenty of brands have heard the siren call of Facebook ads. +The ability to target your demo is really terrific, but you're in danger of creating a relationship with fans that ultimately is built on a "what have you done for me lately" foundation. +First, you essentially bought these fans. +You paid Facebook for the right to target them. +Walls filled with off topic conversations at best, vile language and real antipathy for the brand at worst. +Then in the case of TGI Friday's or other brands that offer free product or discount coupons, you are essentially buying them again. +This sets up a pattern where the consumer now expects to be rewarded for being your fan with a tangible item, that is, free stuff. +That's not a bonus item, it's now a standard part of the agreement. +Want me as a fan? +Give me free stuff. +The point of Social Media isn't to distribute coupons and a real fan wants to engage with a brand for a whole host of reasons, often free / discounted product is the least of these reasons. +I'm not saying that special bonuses, or 'surprise and delight' offers aren't ever a good thing. +I think when used properly they can be terrific. +What do I mean by used properly? +As a reward for people who have engaged with the brand in a meaningful way. +Send us a picture of you wearing a brand t-shirt and sure, you've earned a free sandwich. +Recruit some friends and I'm happy to give you all some coupons. +But when fans enter the relationship feeling they are entitled to free samples and you're in trouble. +What happened?

historic preservation. +Dublin excels in packaging its past for the visitor. +You can view artifacts from the Bronze Age, trace the history of the Easter Rising, or revisit Leopold Bloom’s odyssey in Ulysses. +Old buildings are being recycled; for example, the 17th-century Royal Hospital now holds the Museum of Modern Art. +And Dublin, a city large in expectations, is still small enough for the visitor to see most of its sights on foot. +City on the Liffey +The River Liffey flows from west to east through the center of the city to Dublin Bay. +Historically and culturally this north-south distinction has always been significant, and it still is today, with a dose of good-humored rivalry between the two areas. +“ I never go north of the Liffey,” +“ I never go north of the Liffey,” one man remarked. +Farther out, both north and south, are the sweeping curves of the Royal and Grand Canals. +The occasional cry of gulls and unexpected distant vistas will remind you that Dublin is by the sea, and the Wicklow mountains, which hold Dublin closely to the coast, are visible from everywhere. +Dublin is an intimate city, physically small but tightly packed, a perfect place for walking. +College Green, the home of Trinity College, provides a natural focus just south of the O’Connell Street bridge. +Dublin and the Dubliners +To the south and east is St. Stephen’s Green and Georgian Dublin where the national museums are located. +Along the Liffey to the west is Temple Bar, center of nightlife and home to many of Dublin’s cutting-edge artists and artistic endeavors. +Up the hill from Temple Bar are Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral. +It won’t rain on you in Dublin all the time. +The climate here can best be described as “changeable” and yet the sudden shifts from light to dark, sunshine to shower, are part of the city’s magic. +Buildings seem to transform themselves depending on the light; Dublin under a lowering sky is a different place from Dublin in sunshine. +Enjoying Dublin +Joyce, the high priest of literary Modernism, imagined and interpreted Dublin for the world in Ulysses (you’ll see references to it all over). +Beckett and Joyce, among others, had to leave their homeland to understand it —  and to be understood. +The city’s impact on the rock and pop music scene with the likes of U2 and Bob Geldof is well known — there’s even a self-guided tour of their haunts. +Traditional Irish music is also alive and well, especially in the pubs, and there has been a revival of storytelling, poetry reading, and traditional dancing. +And in this city, where literature and theater have historically dominated the scene, visual arts are finally coming into their own with the new Museum of Modern Art and the many galleries that display the work of modern Irish artists. +Prosperity is in the air; the roar of the “Celtic Tiger” can clearly be heard. +And while multinational chains have made inroads, they seem less blatant here than elsewhere. +Many shops, and also hotels and guest houses, have been owned and managed by the same families for years, and theirs is the welcome of traditional Dublin hospitality. +Dublin’s food has undergone a metamorphosis. +There was a time when you might have apologized for it, but no longer. +But this is not the whole picture. +Coffee has replaced the ubiquitous tea — Dublin is now almost as much a coffee city as Vienna or Seattle. +City and Countryside +In a city of such human proportions it is not surprising that parks and gardens abound for recreation and relaxation. +The proverbial hospitality and warm welcome are still here. +Phoenix Park in the northwest is the largest open space, but squares like St. Stephen’s Green are the garden oases of the city. +As capital of Europe’s most explosive economy, Dublin seems to be changing before your very eyes. +On the coast, Sandymount, Dollymount, and Killiney strands are the places to go. +The beautiful Wicklow Mountains, and the Wicklow Mountains National Park provide a more rugged countryside, and the area has breathtaking houses and gardens such as Castletown, Mount Usher, and Powerscourt. +To the north and west are the ancient sites of Ireland: Malahide Castle, the evocative hill of Tara, and the long barrows of Knowth and Newgrange. +This busy, modern European city sits on a thousand years of history — history is present everywhere, from elegant Merrion Square to the bullet holes on the General Post Office. +The DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) runs north and south along the coast. +There are many guided bus tours to sights outside the city, and some are accessible by city bus. +Young at Heart? +Dublin is a young city. +Almost half of Ireland’s population is under twenty-five, and with its universities and professional schools, Dublin also has a large student population. +The universities attract students from all over the world, and this influx helps to make Dublin a busy, buzzing international city. +Religion and respect for parents has not yet gone out of fashion. +And young graduates are not leaving now — multinational corporations and European Union investment mean there are plenty of opportunities for them at home. +Unemployment is at an all-time low. +The Irish are actually beginning to come home. +It’s also a city of the imagination, reinvented and reappraised in the literature of its exiles. +And the old Dublin is with us, too — the irreverent city of wit and charm and that peculiar magic possessed by Ireland and the Irish. +Beijing’s announced policy of maintaining Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability makes sense. +Around the time of the transition there was much speculation about how things would change. +With its vibrant atmosphere and night-and-day activity it is an intoxicating place. +The impression of the visitor today will be that very little has changed. +Establishments are no longer called “Royal,” Queen Elizabeth has vanished from the coinage, and the Union Jack has been replaced by the flag of China and the new Hong Kong flag with its bauhinia flower. +Others are more subtle. +British social customs are still evident in the kind of polite service you get in hotels and in the long lines of people waiting for buses at rush hour. +The British population has decreased; today there are as many American and Australian ex-pats as there are British. +With a population of nearly eight million and a total area of just over 1,095 square km (423 square miles), housing is one of Hong Kong’s perennial nightmares. +Hong Kong is crowded — it has one of the world’s greatest population densities. +To alleviate the problem, the government has become the city’s major landlord with the construction of massive apartment blocks that, though they have every modern facility, average only 9 square m (100 square ft) in size. +Hong Kong and Its People +Whole cities have been created in the New Territories, although the unimaginative architecture of these towns has been criticized. +Of Hong Kong’s population, 98 percent are Chinese. +The Chinese people have been described as hardworking and pragmatic, attitudes that have contributed to Hong Kong’s success. +There are many stories of refugees who arrived with nothing in their pockets, set up a small sidewalk stall, worked diligently until they had their own store, and then expanded it into a modest chain. +But it is also efficient, with one of the best transportation systems anywhere, and for such a crowded place, quiet — you don’t hear voices raised in anger, motorists sitting on their horns, or loud boomboxes. +Old customs are still followed: Fate and luck are taken very seriously, and astrologers and fortune-tellers do a steady business. +Before a skyscraper can be built, a feng shui (see page 68) investigation must take place to ensure that the site and the building will promote health, harmony, and prosperity. +You’ll also notice that gambling is a passion, whether it be cards, mah-jong, the lottery, or the horses. +Hong Kong has two major racetracks as well as an intensive off-track betting system, and on weekends the ferries to Macau are crowded with people on their way to the casinos. +Sightseeing in Hong Kong starts at sea level with the enthralling water traffic — a mix of freighters, ferries, tugs, junks, and yachts. +From Victoria Peak, Hong Kong’s highest

stories for the lurid horror details and later her crushing defeat. +Conversely, the authors of the two stories examined here do not give readers motivation to wish for the death of Madame White Snake, so the pleasure of the narrative - to borrow appropriate phrasing from film theory - comes not from the death of the insubordinate, disruptive force, from watching the transgressions themselves. +In an essay on the femme fatale heroines of film noir, Janey Place argues that the strong behavior of the female characters supersedes the moral lessons supposedly imparted by their morals at the end. +She writes, “the final ‘lesson’ of the myth often fades into the background and we retain the image of the erotic, strong, unrepressed (if destructive) woman.” +“the final ‘lesson’ of the myth often fades into the background and we retain the image of the erotic, strong, unrepressed (if destructive) woman.” +‘lesson’ +Early tales of Madame White Snake appeared in China as early as the Song Dynasty, and initially her portrayal was fairly direct, as a villainous demon who drains the life force out of her human husband. +Janey Place, “Women in Film Noir” in Women in Film Noir, ed. E. Ann Kaplan (London: British Film Institute, 2003), 48. +“Women in Film Noir” +In these two stories, the femme fatale Madame White Snake is going to live on in the minds of readers not as the shrunken snake trapped under a pagoda, but the sexy, aggressive woman who took a weaker human man as her lover. +This resistant reading of the text may be too colored by modern viewpoints, since it is impossible to know for certain what readers in the past enjoyed about these stories. +However, consciously or unconsciously, these authors created a female character who fits the characteristics of a feisty heroine. +In fact, Communists in the PRC in the 1970s reclaimed her as a feminist symbol for women who rebel against the patriarchy. +Just as the dangerous femme fatale of noir films has reemerged as a heroine in her own right, rather than the sexy death trap for the male protagonist, so too Lady White Snake should be reclaimed for her sexual assertiveness and life slightly outside the bounds of conventional social expectations. +Lai, Whalen. "From Folklore to Literate Theater: Unpacking "Madame White Snake"." Asian Folklore Studies 51, no. 1 (1992): 52. +"Madame White Snake" +“Pagoda” +Whalen Lai notes, “She was a loving wife, a caring mother, rescuer of her family from the first flood, and, at that point, a general benefactor of man. +She took on the virtues of a traditional Chinese female, particularly forbearance”. +Ibid., 53. +Femme fatale might seem an unusual term to apply to a character from pre-modern Chinese and Japanese literature who may exemplify the virtues of an ideal Confucian wife, since it is primarily associated with film characters, particularly those of the film noir genre. +But this term, which is relatively speaking, a neologism (The earliest uses were around the beginning of the 20th century Oxford English Dictionary, “Femme, ” Oxford University Press, http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50083541/50083541se3?single=1&query_type=word&queryword=femme+fatale&first=1&max_to_show=10&hilite=50083541se3 ), is an apt description of the depiction of Madame White Snake and all her incarnations. +“Femme, ” +It refers to a woman who is dangerously attractive, and lures men to their downfall with her sexual attractiveness. +In both incarnations of Madame White snake, the authors depict her as bewitchingly beautiful. +“Lust of the White Serpant” +“disturbed and agitated” +Amanda Bates November 11, 2008 Madame White Snake: East Asian Femme Fatale of Old +“ethereal beauty” +Ueda, Akinari. Ugetsu Monogatari : Tales of Moonlight and Rain : A Complete English Version of the Eighteenth-Century Japanese Collection of Tales of the Supernatural.

Boston: Zheng & Zui Co, 1986, 358. +Both of these stories align negative connotations with her beauty, suggesting that her sexuality is the cause of their distraction. +In addition to distracting sexuality, the irregular characterization of Madame White Snake might be another trait her character has in common with the archetypical noir femme fatale. +In her essay analyzing the noir film from a feminist perspective, Christine Gledhill writes “Not only is the hero frequently not sure whether the woman is honest or a deceiver, but the heroine’s characterisation is itself fractured so that it is not evident to the audience whether she fills the [femme fatale] stereotype or not”. +“Not only is the hero frequently not sure whether the woman is honest or a deceiver, but the heroine’s characterisation is itself fractured so that it is not evident to the audience whether she fills the [femme fatale] stereotype or not” +Christine Gledhill, “Klute 1: A Contemporary Film Noir and Feminist Criticism,” in Feminism and Film, ed. E. Ann Kaplan (New York: Oxford University Press, 2004), 81. +“Klute 1: A Contemporary Film Noir and Feminist Criticism,” +While both stories each characterize Madame White Snake fairly consistently within their narratives, the uneven characterization in film noir perhaps mirrors the evolution of her character over time: readers may not be sure whether she is a pure villainess or whether she is a good wife who is badly treated by society, because there is evidence of both throughout her legend. +She is a loyal wife to her husband as she has promised, but she also causes him to find trouble with the law and deceives him about her supernatural nature. +The complications in her character serve to undercut the ostensible didactic intent of these stories. +Her husband becomes a monk, and this further implicates Lady White Snake, this time from a Buddhist perspective. +Female beauty is a dangerous thing that ties men to the transitory world and prohibits them from being free from desire and ascending to Nirvana. +Furthermore, Lady White Snake’s lover is far from the ideal man. +He is weak-willed and not particularly useful. +In “Lust,” the priest informs Toyoo “Those creatures took advantage of your fair looks and tempted you. +“Lust,” +“Those creatures took advantage of your fair looks and tempted you. But you, yourself, owing to a lack of courage and spirit, fell victim to their temporary form” +But you, yourself, owing to a lack of courage and spirit, fell victim to their temporary form” Ugetsu Monogatari, 177-178. . +The implications of this are that a stronger, more capable man would not fall for the Lady’s trickery. +But are the morals of these stories entirely sincere? +Instead, both these stories feature many moments where readers have great sympathy for her, despite her depraved sexuality. +Certainly, readers admire her patience and loyalty: “I searched everywhere, and now that at last I’ve found you, I’m very happy,” Ibid.,173. she gushes to him in “Lust.” +“I searched everywhere, and now that at last I’ve found you, I’m very happy,” +“Lust.” +Readers must also acknowledge that her human lover is breaking his promise to her when he leaves her. +She pleads with him, “We have a love bond between us, as constant as the T’ai Mountains and the Eastern Sea, and we must live and die together. +“We have a love bond between us, as constant as the T’ai Mountains and the Eastern Sea, and we must live and die together. Please, since we are already married, take me back, and let’s stay together the rest of our lives. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” +While both these stories are ostensibly morality tales about the dangerous beauty of this femme fatale, the true source of pleasure from these narratives is the femme fatale’s transgressive behavior, not her eventual punishment for it. +Please, since we are already married, take me back, and let’s stay together the rest of our lives. +Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” +“Eternal Prisoner,” 369. +In another traditional vernacular story, “Tsu Shih-Niang Sinks the Jewel Box in Anger, “Tu Shih-Niang Sinks the Jew Box in Anger,” trans, Richard M.

I went through the struggles last year and I wanted to be a part of it in the good times." +In addition to Ochoa, the Angels got minor-league catcher Sal Fasano. +In return, the Brewers got backup catcher Jorge Fabregas and two players to be named later. +In the past week, the Angels deemed outfield depth their biggest need, above adding a reliever to the bullpen. +The Russian team of Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze narrowly won the gold medal over the Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, who were later awarded a duplicate gold medal because of the ensuing judging controversy. +OLYMPIC JUDGING SCANDAL DEEPENS WITH ARREST OF RUSSIAN CRIME FIGURE +The French ice dancers, Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat, later won the gold over a Russian team. +The complaint casts the Salt Lake City figure skating scandal in a more serious light than the cronyism and vote-swapping that have tainted the increasingly troubled sport. +Over the past four years, four judges have been suspended, including a Ukrainian who was taped by a Canadian judge detailing the order of finish for the ice dancers before the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. +If convicted of the charges against him -- conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bribery, both felonies _ Tokhtakhounov faces maximum prison time of 10 years and a fine of $500,000 or more. +The United States is seeking his extradition from Italy. +The Italian authorities provided the FBI with information from wiretaps of Tokhtakhounov's home telephone, part of an investigation into his criminal activities. +The FBI said explicit conversations about the scheme had been recorded between Tokhtakhounov and his conspirators, and between him and Anissina, who was born in Russia and skated for France, and her mother. +The FBI cited a vivid conversation with Anissina's mother in which Tokhtakhounov assured her that even if her daughter "falls, we will make sure she is No. 1." +"falls, we will make sure she is No. 1." +After the Winter Olympics, a French judge, Marie-Reine Le Gougne, was suspended by the International Skating Union for not reporting pressure she said was put on her by Didier Gailhaguet, president of the French Skating Federation, to vote for the Russian pairs team. +The ISU later suspended Le Gougne and Gailhaguet for three years. +The federal complaint did not describe the possibility of a wider conspiracy or any contact between Tokhtakhounov, or his unnamed co-conspirators, with Le Gougne. +A Russian accused of being in organized crime was arrested in Italy on Wednesday on an American complaint that he conspired to fix the pairs figure skating and ice dancing competitions at the recent Salt Lake Winter Olympics, which were dominated by the sport's judging scandals. +"We have alleged no connection between this man with any officials other than with Russian federation officials," +"We have alleged no connection between this man with any officials other than with Russian federation officials," James B. Comey, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said at a news conference. +He said that Tokhtakhounov "reached out to a co-conspirator, somebody connected to the Russian Skating Federation, who did the legwork for him." +"reached out to a co-conspirator, somebody connected to the Russian Skating Federation, who did the legwork for him." +Maxwell Miller, Le Gougne's lawyer in Salt Lake City, said no evidence of organized crime influence came up in her suspension hearings before the ISU "I think this situation vindicates the argument that we've made all along," he said. +"I think this situation vindicates the argument that we've made all along," +"She's a scapegoat and a target of a corrupt system and was unfairly singled out." +Tokhtakhounov, whose age was given by Comey as 53 or 62, is a "major figure in international Eurasian organized crime," Comey said. +"major figure in international Eurasian organized crime," +Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and now a Russian citizen, he is known as Taivanchik, or Little Taiwanese, for his Central Asian ethnic background. +Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, he has been implicated in arms trading and Russian art smuggling, and in the Russian news media he was accused of complicity in a plot to extort $10 million from the head of a Russian sports foundation. +He appears to have moved to France in 1989, according to news media reports, and is reported to have Israeli citizenship also. +Comey said Tokhtakhounov had three residences in Italy: Forte dei Marmi, Rome and Milan. +The complaint against Tokhtakhounov's traces his contact with figure skating to 2000, when he proposed to Gailhaguet the creation of a professional hockey team in Paris that would provide revenue for the French Skating Federation. +( Gailhaguet and Anissina are not referred to by name in an accompanying FBI agent's affidavit, but by their descriptions their identities are obvious. +) +In return, Gailhaguet told the FBI on Feb. 23 as the Olympics were taking place, Tokhtakhounov asked for Gailhaguet's help in renewing his French visa, which was about to expire. +"Tokhtakhounov's money is bad," +The federal complaint offers many details of the alleged conspiracy, including excerpts from a transcript of the Italian wiretaps. +On Feb. 5, the Italian wiretaps recorded Tokhtakhounov's request to someone identified as another Russian mobster to get the number of a Russian Skating Federation official. +The second mobster told Tokhtakhounov that the federation official "is close to us -- he is a good guy, he will do it." +"is close to us -- he is a good guy, he will do it." +Tokhtakhounov's action apparently came soon after he said he received a phone call from the mother of the female ice dancer, presumably Anissina. +The Russian, Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, who was arrested by the Italian authorities at his resort home in Forte dei Marmi, appeared to have a singular motivation for rigging the competitions: getting a visa to return to France, where he once lived. +A week later, after Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze's pairs victory, the mobsters spoke again. +The second mobster expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the competition and suggested that Tokhtakhounov could call the ice dancer's "mother or the father and tell them everything will be OK" +"mother or the father and tell them everything will be OK" +He appears to be referring to Anissina. +The second mobster added, "Our Sikharulidze fell, the Canadians were 10 times better, and in spite of that the French with their vote gave us first place." +He added: "Everything is going the way you need it." +"Everything is going the way you need it." +They also discussed the coming judging in ice dancing, in which the French and the Italian teams were the favorites. +The second mobster said the French pair had "only three judges," and of the two judges they needed to win the gold medal "one is ours, and the other our friends will give them." +"only three judges," +"one is ours, and the other our friends will give them." +Their concern for lining up more votes than they thought the Italian ice dancers had may stem from the Italian team's defeat of Anissina and Peizerat in the 2001 world championships. +But they seemed pleased that the Russian pair's victory was achieved with the French judge's vote. +"The French have nothing but the ice dancing," +"The French have nothing but the ice dancing," the second mobster said. +Again, Tokhtakhounov voiced his need to have his French visa extended, and he said Anissina had tried to help him but Gailhaguet had thwarted her. +"we are going to make" +"an Olympic champion." +On or about March 7, in a conversation between Tokhtakhounov and Anissina, she said she would have won the event without his assistance because the Russian judge did not vote for her and her partner. +She also apologized for not calling to thank him earlier, but that Gailhaguet had forbidden her. +"was involved with the results" +"knows my name very well -- he tried to help me, and later he made stuff up to scare you so you would not connect me to him even more." +The conversations seem to indicate a familiarity between Tokhtakhounov and Anissina. +Tass, the official Russian news agency, reported that Anissina attended a ceremony in 1999 at a Paris hotel honoring Tokhtakhounov for his philanthropy. +The federal prosecutor in Manhattan alleged in a criminal complaint that Tokhtakhounov had conceived and directed a scheme with a second man alleged to be in the Russian mob and a member of the Russian Skating Federation to secure a gold medal for the top Russian pairs skaters and for the top French ice dancers, one of whom is a Russian. +That Russian organized crime may have infiltrated international sport at the Olympics stunned Phyllis Howard, president of the U.S. Figure Skating Association. +"This is a criminal act and it certainly puts things in a different league," +"This is a criminal act and it certainly puts things in a different league," Howard said. +Lloyd Ward, chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said in a

Palmisano, IBM's chief executive, emphasized that it was important to make long-term investments despite the current slump in the technology business. +"To play to win in technology, you innovate and you lead," +But manufacturing technology products is a costly and cyclical business. +In June, IBM announced that it was taking a charge of more than $2 billion against earnings. +EAST FISHKILL, N.Y. -- IBM opened a sprawling and sophisticated semiconductor factory here on Wednesday that cost more than $2.5 billion to build and equip, the largest single capital investment the company has ever made. +But Kelly said the demand for advanced chips, like those produced at IBM's facility in Burlington, Vt., is strong. +"I need more capacity in that end of the market," +"I need more capacity in that end of the market," he said, "and this is factory is critical to meeting that growing demand." +But industry analysts said the plant should be insulated from a falloff in one or a few segments of the semiconductor market. +"The diversity is the big difference with this plant," said Richard Doherty, president of Envisioneering, a research firm. +The 140,000-square-foot plant is a testament to advanced manufacturing technology. +The 300-millimeter silicon wafers -- about the size of a standard pizza -- are shuttled around the facility in enclosed plastic pods, which ride on overhead tracks. +They drop down from wires automatically into machines, sheathed in stainless steel and glass, for each stage of processing and fabrication. +Throughout the 500 processing steps, which typically last 20 days, the wafers are not touched by human hands. +The circuits etched into the chips are less than one thousandth the width of a human hair. +Human operators are there to monitor the systems, catch errors and fine-tune the production process for maximum efficiency. +Because each of the hundreds of processing machines is self-enclosed, and essentially airtight, the uniforms operators wear are less constricting than in the previous generation of chip plants, which looked like space suits. +The operators at the East Fishkill factory wear light nylon uniforms, light blue shoe coverings and translucent hair nets made of paper. +They look more like workers in a bakery. +Yes, said Richard Brilla, director of the new facility, "but the donuts are a lot more costly here." +"but the donuts are a lot more costly here." +Each wafer, holding hundreds of chips, is worth $6,000 to $10,000 apiece, depending on what insulation, circuitry and materials are used. +The factory, which opens as the computer chip business is in a slump, is a costly and risky move for IBM. +But it is also an expression of confidence by the company that it can remain a technology leader in the highly competitive global semiconductor industry, and a commitment that the best place to execute that strategy is in upstate New York. +IBM is an exception among computer makers in that it still invests heavily in research to advance the design, manufacture and materials used in semiconductor chips. +Just another wild and crazy guy. +Date with destiny: After Vanderbilt opens with Georgia Tech, the Commodores will play host to Furman, which is Johnson's former team and a Division I-AA powerhouse. +Did he consider trying to cancel?

cuisines, most prominently Indian, Chinese and Vietnamese. +Generally, they are halved lengthwise, the seeds and fibrous pulp removed and the flesh sliced into crescents. +CHRON EDITORS NOTE: Each week, The Chronicle offers readers a look at the more unusual fruits, vegetables and herbs of each season and how to use them. +They are frequently blanched or salted and left to macerate for up to an hour, then rinsed and patted dry to tame the bitterness. +Chinese hot-and-sour soup made with egg white and crabmeat often includes bitter melon. +It also appears in stir-frys, especially those based on pork. +Black bean sauce is a favorite seasoning. +When pickled, bitter melon makes a savory condiment. +In Vietnam, bitter melon halves are stuffed with meat mixtures, such as ground pork with black mushrooms and cellophane noodles, then braised. +Colin Spencer's "Vegetable Book" details an intriguing Indian chapati in which bitter melon, seeds left intact, is sliced, parboiled, then mixed with lightly fried garlic and Indian spices, flour and yogurt. +The mixture is fried like a thick pancake and served, sliced, with rice, naan and other curries. +THE PRODUCE BIN: Bitter melon +SAN FRANCISCO -- A staple of Chinese and Indian cooking, these gourds (botanically, Momordica charantia) with skin like toads grow on climbing vines that can reach 12 feet. +The Chinese and Indian varieties differ little in taste. +Though they resemble squashes, they are natives to Asia, rather than the Americas, but are now cultivated in many regions of the world that boast moderate to warm climates. +Hmong farmers grow them in California's Central Valley, and Mexico has a substantial crop. +SEASON Bitter melons can be found in Asian and specialty produce markets primarily from spring through late fall. +Friday to Sunday, the action moves to Napa, with both members-only and public events at COPIA: The American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts, of which she is an honorary board member. +The schedule Child and her assistant of 14 years, former pastry chef Stephanie Hersh, have laid out is not exactly a senior-citizen routine, even though Child has always been candid about her age and realistic in assessing her own capabilities. +Grande dame of cooking still going strong at 90: Julia Child celebrates in San Francisco +When the Pasadena native moved back to California from her long-time home in the Boston area last year, she also made the move from a condominium she and her late husband, Paul, had purchased many years ago to a progressive retirement home. +She is in the most active of the four levels available, but should the need arise, she can move on to assisted living facilities within the same complex. +"Julia," explains Hersh, "made these retirement plans many years ago. +She thinks it's selfish for people not to make arrangements for their old age in good time." +But so far, age has been kind to the ebullient Child. +In a phone interview a couple of weeks ago, she reported with glee that surgery early this month to remove a small cyst on her spinal cord had "miraculously" cleared up recent problems in walking: "Turned out there is nothing wrong with my legs at all." +So she can once again go shopping, buying whatever seems best on any given day. +Though she had a "nice" kitchen installed in her new home, Child said it's like a ship's galley -- a far cry from the huge, three-pantry kitchen Paul Child designed for their house in Cambridge. +That may well be the best-known kitchen in America, since it became the site of the "French Chef" television programs, which started airing in 1962. +"Back there, we always ate in the kitchen," Child reminisced, "I cannot do that here." +That means her entertaining has been curtailed, even though she still has an active social life with the many friends the Childs made during 22 winters spent in Santa Barbara. +She will have reunions of sorts with her famous kitchen in the next few weeks. +How does it feel to turn 90 and have attained the status of an icon, a living legend? +One of its Peg-Board walls was dismantled and reinstalled at COPIA; the rest went to Washington, D.C., and the Behring Center of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. +(all CQ) Hersh recalls the museum staff's approach to preserving the famous kitchen as awesome: They cataloged and photographed everything, from stove to windows, blinds to drawer contents. +As reinstalled in Washington, the kitchen should be as we all remember it from countless TV shows, "right down to the toothpicks." +Child will go to the capital for the debut of the exhibit right after the Maine birthday bash. +To see her kitchen -- and by extension, herself -- enshrined in the Smithsonian, she said, "will be an odd feeling" and no doubt bring back memories. +But Child is not one to get maudlin about the past, though she does want to keep it alive. +She's already got her next project picked out: A memoir of her and Paul's life in the diplomatic service with his professional photographs and some of her collected recipes. +It will undoubtedly retell how the seeds of her culinary career were sown: Fresh off the boat on their way to Paris and Paul Child's new posting (they had met in Sri Lanka during World War II), they stopped for lunch in Rouen. +That lunch lit a spark that made Julia decide to take classes at the Cordon Bleu, which in turn led to her friendship and collaboration with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, co-authors of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," and, ultimately, to America's culinary revolution. +How to feed a legend +So what do you prepare when asked to cook a birthday dinner for America's most famous culinary personality? +Some of the country's top chefs will answer that question Thursday at the 20 dinners nationwide that will celebrate Julia Child's approaching 90th birthday. +The question may be most acute for three San Francisco chefs preparing the long sold-out dinner at Fifth Floor restaurant, because the honoree herself plans to be there. +They are the host restaurant's executive chef, Laurent Gras; his counterpart at Masa's, Ron Siegel, and Masa pastry chef Keith Jeanminette. +"It seems she loves soups," said Siegel, "so I am picking up on her vichyssoise. +The show, along with her seminal book, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" (1961), revolutionized the way America cooks and eats. +But since it's the middle of summer, I am adding fresh corn to it" -- plus a dollop of caviar for good measure. +In the same vein, Gras is tweaking her salade nicoise, and Jeanminette is adapting her mousse au chocolat to become a spectacular six-layer pecan marjolaine. +He could hardly go wrong. +When Child was asked some years back what she would order for her last meal, she ended the list with "something chocolate for dessert." +Here is the San Francisco chefs' menu: +Corn vichyssoise with caviar +Julia's composed near-nicoise salad +Sonoma duck breast a la Julia Child with crispy pancetta and sweet summer onions and naturally enriched duck sauce +Six-layer pecan marjolaine with Julia's coffee chocolate mousse, cocoa meringue, pecan crust and citrus sorbet +list> +Words of wisdom +She never subscribed to cuisine minceur, cholesterol-free cooking, meat-free meal plans, organic food or any of the other politically correct trends of different times -- and that includes restricted diets, in spades. +Take small helpings +While making light of the difference a day -- or another decade -- makes, Child intends to enjoy her birthday thoroughly. +No seconds +No snacking +Eat a little bit of everything +Drink modest amounts of good wine. +Why we love Julia +It's easy to imagine what Bay Area chefs like Alice Waters or Michael Mina might have to say about Julia Child on her 90th birthday. +But what about Bay Area notables who like to cook but are not connected to a professional kitchen? +Susie Tompkins Buell, socialite and political activist who co-founded the Esprit de Corps fashion company: "When I think of Julia Child I think of the television episode where she's showing you how to make a turkey dinner and the turkey fell on the floor. +It's live and she leans over and picks it up and says, `What the guests don't see won't hurt them.' +You have to be playful and confident about cooking. +She cooks that way, and I cook that way." +Denise Hale, social icon and Liza Minnelli's stepmother: "Julia Child gave to all women one beautiful present: Watching her series you found out you don't have to be perfect." +Francis Ford Coppola, film director: "I think she's a fascinating woman, and I enjoy very much watching her shows with Jacques Pepin." +First, there will be all the public observances, including a sold-out dinner Thursday at San Francisco's tony Fifth Floor restaurant, which -- like dinners that night at 19 other venues across the country -- will benefit the scholarship fund of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (which Child co-founded). +Harry Denton, San Francisco nightclub owner: "My favorite thing about her is her straightforward honesty and that her favorite food is butter. +I love butter, too." +Michael Chabon, author of Pulitzer Prize winner "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay": "All I think of when I think of her now is Dan Akroyd pretending to be her (on Saturday Night Live) and chopping his fingers off and bleeding all over." +The nationwide boycott of Chilean seabass is a potent example of the new activism. +"I have made it a policy of mine never to serve Chilean seabass," +"I have made it a policy of mine never to serve Chilean seabass," said Billy Hahn, executive chef at Jake's Famous Crawfish, a Portland, Ore., landmark since 1892. +"I refuse to sell it." +Chilean seabass, also known as Patagonian toothfish, came into vogue in the 1990s in U.S. restaurants and fish markets. +RESPONSIBLE SEAFOOD SALES ARE THE CATCH OF THE DAY +With rising demand for the firm, oil-rich fish came pirate fishing fleets eager to cash in on its popularity -- even if it meant skirting catch limits and environmental regulations. +But in some areas, the seabass are being overfished. +That is potentially a problem because Chilean seabass are a long-lived species -- living as long as 50 years -- and reproduce slowly, said Susan Buchanan, a spokeswoman for the federal government's National Marine Fisheries Service. +ATTENTION EDITORS: This article from the NEWHOUSE NEWS SERVICE report of TUESDAY, JULY 30, 2002, is available as a "separate buy." +The NMFS estimates that in 2000, more than 16,000 tons of Chilean seabass were legally caught from an internationally regulated harvest area in the Antarctic Ocean. +But more than 32,000 tons may have been taken illegally from those same waters, the fisheries service said. +Impatient with regulators, the National Environmental Trust began a boycott campaign in February called "Take a Pass on Chilean Seabass." +The Washington-based conservation group says more than 530 restaurants have signed on. +A number of restaurants not officially part of the National Environmental Trust boycott also have stopped serving Chilean seabass. +And it's not just the white tablecloth crowd. +Red Lobster, with 660 restaurants in the United States and Canada, dropped Chilean seabass from the menu in the past year because of "sustainability" concerns, said Wendy Spirduso, communications director for the Orlando, Fla.-based chain. +"sustainability" +Some retailers also have pulled Chilean seabass. +"We've discontinued selling swordfish, Chilean seabass, orange roughy and marlin," +"We've discontinued selling swordfish, Chilean seabass, orange roughy and marlin," said Mark Cockcroft, national seafood buyer for Wild Oats Markets, a chain of 103 stores. +"We are also taking a real hard look currently at almost all species of shark, though we haven't made a formal statement about that." +Whole Foods Markets, with 133 stores nationwide, also does not sell Chilean seabass. +All of this comes at a time when Americans are consuming more seafood: 15 to 16 pounds per person each year, compared with 10.3 pounds per person in 1960 and 12.5 pounds in 1980, according to the National Fisheries Institute, an industry association. +At the same time, about half the world's fisheries are being fished to capacity. +The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reports that 47 percent to 50 percent of stocks are "fully exploited," meaning that catches have either reached or are close to maximum limits. +Another 15 percent to 18 percent are "overexploited," and 9 percent to 10 percent have been "depleted or are recovering from depletion." +The seafood industry is less than thrilled about this surge of interest in ocean ecosystems from people who are not scientists. +Fisheries management is best left to the experts, said Thor Lassen, president of Ocean Trust, a research and conservation foundation partly financed by the fishing industry. +"It involves very complicated choices that have to do with the biology of species, their life cycles, how they respond to various changes in the oceans, etc." +When there's a boycott, Lassen said, "it's not environmentalists or chefs making the sacrifice, it's coastal communities." +"it's not environmentalists or chefs making the sacrifice, it's coastal communities." +Rod Moore, executive director of the West Coast Seafood Processors Association, suggests that activists with an agenda are manipulating chefs and retailers. +The conservation groups providing information to chefs and retailers and lists of environmentally appropriate seafoods to consumers are the same groups working to affect fisheries management on the political and regulatory level, Moore said. +That's simply good strategy, said James Leape, deputy director of the conservation program for the David and Lucile Packard Foundation in Los Altos, Calif. +They included support for marine reserves and money for fisheries management reform. +"One of the principal concerns of the Packard Foundation is the preservation of natural resources, particularly in the oceans, and one of the greatest threats is overfishing," +"One of the principal concerns of the Packard Foundation is the preservation of natural resources, particularly in the oceans, and one of the greatest threats is overfishing," Leape said. +(UNDATED) Chefs and seafood retailers are wading into one of the hottest natural resource issues of the day: fisheries management. +The California aquarium also created "Seafood Watch" wallet cards designed to take to restaurants. +More than 600,000 of the cards and seafood guides have been distributed since 2000, said Jennifer Dianto, Seafood Watch program manager at the aquarium. +Chefs and retailers around the country know they must be prepared to deal with customers who arrive with the aquarium's seafood card in hand. +But in a business in which 12-hour shifts are the norm, some chefs worry about their lack of time to stay informed about complicated, rapidly changing fisheries management issues. +Some working chefs say they routinely review conservation group Web sites, government reports and industry sources. +"For me, it's very difficult to be certain that the information which is given to me is real," said Eric Ripert, chef at Le Bernardin, a four-star seafood restaurant in Manhattan. +"I don't know. +I don't have enough information to know, for example, if Chilean seabass is really disappearing or if it's political pressure." +It's no longer unusual for chefs to refuse to serve a species they think to be at risk of extinction or for a retailer to promote seafoods that are abundant and part of a healthy marine ecosystem. +Despite being uncertain of its status, Ripert pulled Chilean seabass. +Le Bernardin's menu also informs diners that the restaurant will not serve swordfish to support efforts "to recover the species." +"to recover the species." +"I don't wish to be a spokesman for any campaign," +"I do it as somebody who has a conscience and is caring." +(Michelle Cole is a staff writer for The Oregonian of Portland, Ore. +She can be contacted at michellecole(at)news.oregonian.com.) +Most say they're driven by the desire to do right by the environment. +Some also say they must listen to their customers' concerns or risk a consumer backlash. +But powerful groups, including the American Medical Association, oppose the idea and have a surprising source of support: psychologists themselves, some of whom call it a radical experiment and fear that the most likely victim will be the science of psychology. +"I am concerned that nonmedically trained people as legitimate prescribers of drugs will not be accepted by the American public," +PRESCRIPTION PRIVILEGES MAKE SOME PSYCHOLOGISTS ANXIOUS +The APA has spent more than $1 million to help state psychological associations develop and lobby for such prescription privileges -- or "RxP" -- legislation. +A total of 31 state psychology associations have task forces dedicated to developing and lobbying for prescription-privileges legislation. +The version endorsed by the APA would license doctoral-level psychologists to independently prescribe psychotropic drugs after completing 300 hours of classroom instruction in neuroscience, physiology and pharmacology, followed by four months' supervised treatment of 100 patients. +Critics say that is not nearly enough compared with other prescribers, such as M.D. psychiatrists or nurse practitioners who have at least six years' medical education and clinical experience. +Neither Davison nor most other RxP opponents doubt the efficacy of medications. +Their greatest objection is to the notion of turning psychology into a prescribing profession. +In a field that has struggled long and hard to prove that mind, mood and behavior can be studied empirically, the past decade, Davison says, has seen "exciting developments" that demonstrate the validity of various psychotherapeutic interventions and the psychosocial-behavioral models on which they are based. +"exciting developments" +"The timing is peculiar to abandon psychological science or to convert it to a medical science," +"The timing

Paul Tibbets, the pilot who would drop the world's first atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Japan, was commander of the unit and chose the men. +A mission to end a war +Karnes was Tibbets' adjutant, the man in charge of writing the orders and cajoling the transfer to the unit of servicemen proficient in bombing, mechanics, ordnance, engineering and communications. +Tibbets hated paperwork. +Karnes thought it was a breeze. +They were a wartime match that changed the world. +Japan surrendered within days of the detonation of the atomic bombs that killed 140,000 people in Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and 70,000 in Nagasaki three days later. +AUSTIN, Texas -- Tom Karnes was dialing for destiny, but not everyone wanted to cooperate. +The story of the 509th is a tale of an elite outfit that lived in a bubble of secrecy and endured the taunts of other war-weary U.S. units that resented sharing a small Pacific island with the 509th, which appeared exempt from combat. +Tinian Island was the staging area where the 509th moved after its creation in the desert. +He never even told his story to students in his 40 years of teaching college. +War is hell, he says, and when it was over, he wanted to come home and rejoin his young family and not dwell on it. +He earned a doctorate in history from Stanford University and taught Latin American history at Tulane University and Arizona State University. +Next week marks the 57th anniversary of the atomic bombings. +Karnes sat in his wood-paneled office in a Quonset hut in the middle of the Great Salt Lake Desert, a black telephone to his ear. +Each year on Aug. 6, "I always think of Paul Tibbets and how he handled unbelievable responsibility," Karnes said. +Karnes met Tibbets when the 29-year-old bomber pilot walked into Karnes' office at Wendover Army Air Field on the Utah-Nevada border. +Karnes was the personnel and classification officer. +He was only a captain, but he had been left in charge at Wendover the day Tibbets surprised them by landing a B-29, a new plane no one at Wendover had seen. +He was searching for a remote installation to train bomber crews and support units in total secrecy. +Tibbets instantly liked the isolation and vast size of Wendover and the surrounding Bonneville Salt Flats. +And he immediately liked Karnes, who showed him around the base. +In Karnes, Tibbets found a kindred spirit -- and a handball partner. +Both were smart, disciplined, quiet men who thrived on efficiency, perfection and self-reliance. +Each had skills the other admired. +Tibbets was a decorated, top-gun pilot, but Karnes could wrangle the military rule book as well as Tibbets could fly. +He was tracking down men to join a group so secret he couldn't admit it existed. +"I don't recall ever having to tell Tom to do anything," +"I don't recall ever having to tell Tom to do anything," Tibbets said in an e-mail this week. +I was very lucky to have Tom. +" +Tibbets quickly returned to Wendover after that first visit to set up his headquarters. +His first order appointed Karnes adjutant for the 509th. +Almost overnight, Wendover became a high-security base filled with off-limit areas covered in barbed wire. +No one was allowed to talk about what they saw or heard, even though most of the 509th had no idea why they were there, except that 15 B-29s were being modified to carry a heavy load. +Karnes and his staff read outgoing mail to make sure no secrets slipped out. +Karnes hated to pry, and skimmed over personal portions of the letters. +On his metal desk were names of military men being ordered into the organization. +Karnes knew the 509th was preparing for a special bombing mission, but he had no idea what kind of bombs were involved. +"I had a friend, the finance officer. +He said that they had split the atom and that we were going to drop an atomic bomb," Karnes said. +"I said, `No."' +A noncommittal "mmm-mm," was the most Karnes could ever get out of Tibbets on matters of the bomb. +"mmm-mm," +By spring, the 509th prepared to move to Tinian Island, near Guam and Saipan. +That would put the B-29s about 1,500 miles from Japan -- a 13-hour round-trip flight. +Karnes was deluged with orders for inoculations, equipment, transfers and promotions. +He was calling bases all over the United States to line up their transfer to the desert outside Salt Lake City. +Karnes arrived on Tinian on May 18, 1945, as part of an advance team that flew in the five C-54 transport planes of the 509th. +On May 29, 1,200 men arrived on the troopship Cape Victory after a five-week trip from Seattle. +Tinian Island had been captured from Japan, and the Seabees, the construction arm of the Navy, had built two large airfields. +The 509th took North Field and stayed in relative isolation from other B-29 units on the island. +The word spread: "This is it. +"This is it. +This is the big mission." +Karnes and hundreds of other men from the 509th stood along the flight line as Tibbets and the Enola Gay took off at 2:45 a.m. on Aug. 6, a warm, tropical night. +"Where is the authority?" +Three B-29s had gone ahead to check the weather at Hiroshima and two other possible bomb sites. +Two other B-29s left in two-minute intervals after Tibbets so their crews could take photos and drop devices to measure radiation and other effects of the bomb. +Tibbets got the word only an hour from Hiroshima that the city's weather was clear. +Early in the flight, the crew had inserted a plug of uranium into the 9,000-pound bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy. +" +The crew slipped on dark glasses to prepare for the blinding flash of the bomb. +At 8:15 a.m. Hiroshima time, the pneumatic bomb-bay doors opened and "Little Boy," equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT, fell out. +The Enola Gay climbed, and Tibbets fought to turn the plane in the air-bending, 155-degree the crews had been practicing off Tinian for months. +He pushed off the dark glasses because he couldn't see to fly. +"Who says this?" +A minute later, the shock wave hit. +The crew was horrified by the purple mushroom cloud that climbed to 10 miles and looked as if it would engulf the Enola Gay. +More shocking was the city of Hiroshima, which was on fire and bubbling like tar. +But he didn't sleep long. +Someone woke him to say Gen. Hap Arnold, chief of the Army Air Forcesin Washington, was on the phone and asking for him. +Each time, Karnes said what he had to: "Call Air Force headquarters if you don't believe me." +Arnold told Karnes, "Tibbets is going to be landing in three to four hours, and I want to give him the Distinguished Service Cross, and it is your job to write up the explanation." +"I had no idea how you wrote up an award. +I'd never written up any award," +I'd never written up any award," Karnes said. +"So I got all of my sergeants out, and they're all digging through their (books.)" +"Call Air Force headquarters if you don't believe me." +When an unsuspecting Tibbets descended from the Enola Gay on Tinian, he barely managed to palm his pipe as Gen. Carl Spaatz, commander of the Strategic Air Forces, stepped forward to pin the medal on his bomb flight coveralls. +Karnes, like the hundreds of others gathered along the flight line, was jubilant. +He knew the war would soon be over and he would be heading home. +A yearof secrecy and hard work wasover. +Three days later, another B-29 from the 509th bombed Nagasaki. +Five days later, Japan surrendered and World War II was over. +Today, Karnes is frustrated that some of his fellow historians, the ones he calls "revisionists," question the wisdom and morality of the bombings. +“I will help you find your Rachel. +I have to warn you, though, you won’t like what I have to tell you.” +“Tell me anyway. +If she’s in trouble, I want to find her, wherever she is.” +My driver took a deep breath. +As he did, his neck stretched in a strange way and I noticed several thin lines, like wrinkles, running across the sides of his neck. +“Nathan,” +“Nathan,” he began in the way that people speak when they start a long and difficult explanation, +“Rachel met someone last night whom it is best never to meet. +This person, like me, is not a member of traditional society. +You see, Nathan, there is …separate from your society …oh, damn it. +I’ve never had to give this conversation before. +Come on, I have something to show you.” +With that, he made a sharp turn onto a side street that I hadn’t noticed before. +We drove between slummy housing and storefronts so decayed that I couldn’t tell whether they were abandoned. +My driver turned again next to an old warehouse that I might have been in once when Mitch took us to a rave in sophomore year. +In front of a few houses, there were cars parked, but there were almost none on the streets. +I got a strange feeling that we weren’t supposed to be driving here. +“Hey,” +I mean – ” +“Just ignore that,” +“Just ignore that,” he told me. +“You’ll be used to the sensation in a moment.” +That just unnerved me more. +As we kept driving, the anxiety grew more pronounced. +My girlfriend Rachel and I would go to the clubs near our school. +I noticed that there were some people on the street, people the same color as the soiled buildings. +He parked and got out. +“Is it really safe to leave the car …” +he was already walking toward the squat, brick-windowed building we were parked next to. +Glancing back at that gleaming glare, I decided that it might be safer to follow the driver than to wait with the car. +I hopped out, ran after him, and reached him just as he was knocking on the door. +Sometimes we'd get word that people were gathering under one of the bridges, and we'd rush down to hit it before the cops broke it up. +Inside, the building opened up. +The ceiling was high and wooden, and I could see part of a DJ’s booth down the hall. +It looked like we were in the back of a nightclub. +Then I looked down and saw what had let us in. +What up?” +The hunchbacked being who let us in held out a scraggly paw for him to slap. +“Nice, my man,” he said as they clasped hands. +“Who’s the freak?” +“This is someone from Ivan’s family. +Did I ever tell you about them?” +“Yeah, one time, man, but you were pretty fucked up. +What’s your problem, kid?” +The hunchbacked man came up to my stomach. +His skin was brown and stretched, like some diseased sapling’s bark. +It pulled back around his fingertips, which bore things that might have been nails or claws. +When he grinned, I saw that his teeth were sharp and small, like a hunting cat’s. +Under matted hair, his eyes had slit pupils. +Nepthys quickly answered for me. +“Girlfriend troubles. +She came down here with someone after a party, and I don’t think it was one of your average pixies.” +“Bummer. +So, what’s the cat look like?” +He turned to me. +Nepthys nodded: “It’s okay, you can trust him. +“It’s okay, you can trust him. +It was easier to talk than to question. +“I …I noticed him from across the room when I was looking around for Rachel. +Boston is a strange place at night. +He was standing right in front of some blue lights, so I couldn’t see him very well, but I noticed the way that the light set off his pale skin. +It almost looked like the light bent around him without actually touching him directly. +He was slim, almost drawn, but he had a kind of … luster to him, I guess. +He wasn’t a person you’d describe with normal adjectives, you know?” +You wouldn't believe half of the shit I've seen, even when I was straight. +They nodded. +“Oh, totally,” +“I get that all the time around here.” +“He was wearing a sort of jacket …maybe blue velvet, I couldn’t tell in the dark, but it had ruffles at the throat, things like that. +He really stood out. +That’s why I couldn’t understand why no-one else remembered him. +I remember that he hardly ever moved, just stared at Rachel. +Even when he talked, he hardly opened his mouth. +I don’t know how he could’ve been heard over the music.” +The two glanced at each other. +asked the hunchback. +“I’ve looked into it a little, and I do think we might be dealing with one of them. +Have you seen anyone like that in your club?” +I can send you to a guy who knows all about them, though. +It was a Friday night. +If this cat’s for real, I bet my friend can tell you everything you need to know.” +“You’re a wonder, Dvorov. +It won’t be long before nightfall.” +“Oh yeah, man. +The hunchback pulled out a scrap of paper and scribbled something on it with his fingernail, then handed it to Nepthys. +“Here you go, man. +Good luck!” +“Thanks, Dvorov. +I owe you one. +Let’s go.” +That last one was to me. +I waved goodbye to the hunchback as we left. +Back on the street, I began to see things that I had never looked for until then. +Still in my initial shock, I suddenly noticed qualities of the people that my mind hadn’t registered when we parked. +The yellow of this sky wasn’t just smog: it had a leeching, heavy dimness. +I saw men three feet tall with dusty black skin and eyes that shed yellow light. +A corpulent, batrachian woman walked along with something on a leash that looked like a massive water beetle. +She checked it there in the restaurant. +Leaning from the rough-hewn window of one building on our right was something with long, green hair draped across the seven gangly arms hanging from its windowsill. +Thirty-five thin fingers waved lazily like seaweed. +I noticed when my back hit the wall that I was walking backwards. +“We, and thousands like us, have been living separately as long as there has been a human society,” +“We, and thousands like us, have been living separately as long as there has been a human society,” said my driver. +Her head tilted into the phone as she listened, her pleather purse on her lap, shining jet against the worn black of her snug Dead Can Dance T-shirt. +I noticed that the wrinkles on his neck expanded as he breathed and realized that they were gills. +“We interact with humans, take advantage of them, grant them boons, sometimes even become their friends, but the majority of both societies have little or no interaction. +At this point, we have removed ourselves so fully from quotidian human existence that we are understood to be fictional. +“The only place with any significant interaction between our worlds is on the fringes of yours. +Love-ins, raves, gatherings where society is put on hold and humans open themselves to emotion: that is where entities from this world tend to go when they cross over, and that is where Rachel met someone from this world. +Those of us who live permanently in this world tend to set up in places like this, where the human population is so overwhelming that they won’t be noticed in the right corner, with the right protective spells.” +He took out the hunchback’s directions and glanced at an alley behind us. +We should get started right away. +There’s no time to waste.” +He saw that I wasn’t moving. +Setting an arm on my shoulder, he said, “Nathan, what you see here might be frightening, but those things you saw are people just like you. +They’ll be as surprised to see a human as you are to see men with seven arms.” +“Thanks. +It’s very reassuring that I’ll not only be an outsider but a curiosity.” +“Nathan, you told me five minutes ago that you would do anything to help Rachel. +Well, she’s here and she needs your help. +Now, the more we can do before nightfall, the better.” +“But why are you even helping me? +Until thirty seconds ago, I didn’t believe in magic or any of that kind of …weirdness.” +“Nathan, I told you: my family owes yours a debt. +In this world, one’s word is a promise. +Now, can we get going?” +I caught my breath and forced myself to look him in the eye. +“He says we should meet him tonight, there’s a good one going on in that church that closed down last month.” +“Only if you stop beginning every sentence with my name.” +“You’ve got a deal. +Let’s go.” +As we headed down the sidewalk, I said, “What is your name, anyway?” +“That’s a question you learn not to ask here. +What you may call me is Nepthys.” +Holding Dvorov’s directions, Nepthys took us around the corner of the building into a skinny alleyway. +I started wondering again how reliable my guide’s credentials were. +Walking through an alley with rubbish piles that occasionally skittered from one wall to the other, he did not inspire confidence. +“Just at this corner,” +“Just at this corner,” he said, interrupting my immanent panic attack, “we’re going to stop and turn three times widdersh – er, counterclockwise, then face east. +“we’re going to stop and turn three times widdersh – er, counterclockwise, then face east. +He pointed at the wall to our right. +“Don’t let the sun fool you. +Then I’m going to shed a little blood, but don’t worry, none of yours.” +“Okay, you might feel silly, but just turn three times to your left. +Try to keep in time with me.” +We spun around three times, and then something flashed across Nepthys’ hand and he shook a spray of blood onto the dust. +“I don’t know … it was going to be just us tonight. +The blood flashed into flames as soon as it hit the ground, and I jumped back. +Nepthys walked towards it and pressed his bloody palm against it, opening the door. +“Are you coming?” +We slipped through the door and came out, not inside the building, but on a busy street in a completely different part of town. +The sky, cupping over squat buildings, was less yellow here, and stands were set up everywhere the way I’d picture a market in the Middle East. +I’m not sure I’m up for a night out.” +Nepthys took us immediately to the right, where he led us to a cart filled with herbs. +Spiced air hanging around the cart carried tarragon, rosemary, and scents I couldn’t place. +The thing tending the cart reminded me of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland: it had the same opium-dream wise man quality I’d always given the caterpillar. +I was feeling calm and private that night. +Its arms were thin and long enough to reach any herbs from its cushion in the center of the cart, and with its long, many-shouldered pole of a torso, it rose over our heads even while seated. +Its face was small and wrinkled, with penny-sized smoked glasses balanced on its thin nose. +“Would the gentlemen care to purchase some fine herbs?” +it asked. +“There are no finer to spice a meal, nor purer to mix a potion. +It seemed like tonight’s darkness was small and personal, cupped hands offering a place for two, not the burning, open darkness of a rave. +Please, let yourselves breathe the fine scent of these herbs.” +“We’re not here to browse,” +“We’re not here to browse,” Nepthys told him. +“We’d like to see a man about some garlic.” +“We have many fine cloves of garlic here on the cart, gentle sir. +If – ” +“You know what I mean. +Please, if we could see him, we would be much obliged. +It hissed thoughtfully. +“True, true. +Step behind the cart and enter through the door there, using your left hand to open the door and your right – ” +he looked at me “ – to close it.” +“ – to close it.” +“Thank you.” +Nepthys bowed slightly and we walked behind the cart. +The latch opened under Nepthys’ left hand with a clack! +The door took us to the bottom of a flight of wooden stairs. +At the top was one door. +We entered. +The room held a bed, a bookcase, and a desk with one chair. +Its only light came from a dying candle on the desk whose spark etched shadows in the roughly planked walls. +I smelled matted hair and cedar chips. +He opened one eye when we came in but did not move. +“We’re here for information about a vampire,” +“We’re here for information about a vampire,” said Nepthys. +“Oh, shit!” +I said. +“Sorry, kid. +–Would you do us the kindness of helping us to identify an individual?” +“Wait, Nepthys – you said nothing about vampires. +Are …look, are they as bad as people in my world think they are?” +It’s been over a week, and I want to dance. +“I don’t know. +They’re almost as rare here, and I’ve never heard a reliable story of someone successfully fighting a vampire.” +“Only unsuccessfully, right?” +“No, those people don’t usually leave stories.” +“Oh, thanks, Nepthys, for your confidence-inspiring tales of experience. +So they’re probably worse than we think, okay, that’s great. +Now can you tell me what your master plan of attack will be before we go spinning counterclockwise into an Anne Rice novel?” +Let’s go together, you know you’ll have fun once you get into it.” +Don’t forget, she’s your girlfriend. +Now calm down while I talk to this gentleman. +I can hear your heartbeat from over here.” +It came in through my mother's blood; my Russian grandmother would always tell me stories, bylichkas, of ancestors with the "second sight", stupid mill owners who discovered bags of gold after letting a special fish off their hooks, and dark strangers who used to appear to help or interfere at crucial times. +I shut up and tried to breathe. +Nepthys turned back to the little man on the bed, who had not moved. +“Please, accept our apologies. +As you can see, our situation is of personal importance to the young man. +Now: may we ask you a few questions about an individual we believe to be a vampire? +It would be a great help to us.” +She bit the inside of her bottom lip, looking at me like I was breaking her poor, sweet heart. +The little man drew a few loud breaths that died in the wooden room’s tight air. +Finally, in a pinched rasp, he said, “My information is purely for the purposes of a collector. +“My information is purely for the purposes of a collector. +I do not want to provide help to someone who would do harm.” +If there is any boon that you would have us do in return, we would be glad to do it.” +He continued to lie in place, still breathing heavily. +I tried to keep myself calm. +“I have need of a certain stone that I once possessed. +It would allow me to leave this bed, despite my current illness. +My problem is that it was not made in this realm, but by a human, and only a human may handle it. +If you would fetch me this stone, I would tell you what I can.” +“Of course we will fetch you the stone,” +“Of course we will fetch you the stone,” Nepthys assured him. +“You have our thanks.” +Outside, the thing at the herb cart nodded when we mentioned the stone. +When we reached the street, I expected some sort of temple, or a row of antiquaries, or at least a sleazy, black-market relics merchant. +Instead, it looked like we were in the red-light district: women who probably wanted more than our money eyed us from the alleys. +Nepthys didn’t need to warn me not to speak to them. +“Okay, Rachel. +He took us to the door of a building like a short pagoda that had a sign hanging over it showing a face with hands uplifted, like a saint under G d’s light, and handcuffed. +Let’s go, you’re probably right.” +A large woman, similarly decorated, quickly drifted up to us. +“Good evening, gentlemen,” +“Good evening, gentlemen,” she said. +“May I invite you to have a cup of tea?” +She grinned and gave me a kiss across the table, her lips soft and firm and sticking just enough that she gave the feeling you were really kissing, not just pressing your face into someone else’s. +“No, thank you,” +“No, thank you,” said Nepthys, “we regret that we cannot take up your kind offer. +“we regret that we cannot take up your kind offer. Are you the proprietor of this shop?” +Are you the proprietor of this shop?” +“Yes,” +“Yes,” answered the woman. +“I am Madame Entera, at your service. +She raised an eyebrow. +“Are you? +Well, we don’t get many customers asking about that item. +Please, walk this way.” +She led us past the silks and through an arch decorated with pictures of wooden ships and what looked like African tribesmen. +The next room had mosaics of what could have been Rome, with men in simple tunics working in a vineyard on one wall and men in odd, floppy hats on the other. +After this, we went up a flight of stairs and past a row of doors barred on the outside. +“Excuse me,” +“but may I ask what is kept in these rooms?” +The woman laughed. +“Why, the merchandise, of course,” she said. +Nepthys leaned close to my ear. +“This is a slave shop,” +“This is a slave shop,” he explained quietly. +The woman paused before another door, this one not barred but locked. +As she brought out the key, she said, “We deal mostly in fairly mundane trades, but there are a few customers with more unusual needs and people willing to sell unusual items. +“We deal mostly in fairly mundane trades, but there are a few customers with more unusual needs and people willing to sell unusual items. +We’ve had genies, indentured sorcerers, even golems and the occasional elf. +This is one of the stranger items, though. +It’s been in our collection for several years because only a human can activate it. +If we only had a human on our staff, we could have done so ages ago and sold it off, but we have no such luck.” +She opened the door and took us past several doors marked with odd geometrical designs to another locked room. +“Here it is,” she said. +With a flourish, she opened the door to reveal a room with walls inlaid with lapis and gold wire, intricate patterns like a Czar’s jewelry box crawling down the walls. +In its center, under a spearing, white light, was a golden table draped with a blue velvet cloth, on which lay a gray, plum-sized rock. +“Let’s not get fucked up tonight, though, okay, Rache? +“A marvel, isn’t it?” +she said. +“That such a rock could hold so much magic – it’s a wonder.” +“That it is,” +“That it is,” Nepthys assured her. +“What would convince you to part with it?” +“You wouldn’t give me the human, would you? +No, +No,” +she said, seeing his expression, “that would make the stone rather useless.” +“that would make the stone rather useless.” +Nevertheless, she gave me what I can only describe as an “appraising glance”. +I have never felt so appraised in all my life. +“He looks healthy,” +“He looks healthy,” she said, “how about a pint of his blood?” +“how about a pint of his blood?” +We don’t – ” +“A pint? +Madame, I have his health to consider.” +I have his health to consider.” +“Half a pint, then – and his hair.” +“Well, kid, what do you think? +Remember, this is your quest. +I’m not giving my blood.” +“Sure, babe. +“As if I wanted it,” +“I think it’s a fair deal, considering the return,” +“I think it’s a fair deal, considering the return,” he told me, “but it’s up to you.” +“but it’s up to you.” +Come on, I don’t have to get fucked up every time we go out just to enjoy myself. +I thought about it, then nodded. +“Marvelous!” cried the woman. +She took us downstairs to a small room behind a red silk draping. +There was a wooden chair, where she sat me down and asked me to wait. +Soon, she came back with a lidded ceramic bowl, which she put on the table beside me. +“Roll up your sleeves,” +“Roll up your sleeves,” she told me. +She opened the bowl and carefully, gingerly brought out a fat, dripping leech. +It must have been larger than my finger. +She laid it gently inside the hollow of my left arm. +The cold thing stretched and cast around with its sucker-mouth until it found the soft spot inside my elbow, where it softly sucked on and began to work its way under my skin. +I thought that I could feel a slight itching. +Let’s not waste any more time.” +“They take about a quarter-pint each,” said Madame Entera, drawing out another skinny leech. +“They’re quick, too. +We’ll be done with them before your hair is finished.” +Then she clapped her hands and brought in the barber. +Half an hour later, I left the room pale and bald, running my fingers over my scalp. +She stood up and I followed her out to the street. +At least the barber hadn’t nicked me. +Madame Entera took me back up to the stone’s room, where Nepthys was waiting by the door. +“Be careful you don’t let him touch it until you’re ready to use it,” +“Be careful you don’t let him touch it until you’re ready to use it,” the woman admonished Nepthys as she slipped the stone into a grey cloth pouch and handed it to him. +“Thank you for doing business at our house, and I hope to see you again!” +“Come on,” +“Come on,” said Nepthys, “you could use a drink.” +It was dark enough that I could actually see a few stars through the screen of city light. +“you could use a drink.” +We hit a bar on the next street over. +“Vodka, straight up,” +“Vodka, straight up,” Nepthys told the bartender as we sat down at the counter, “and a Bloody Mary for my friend. +“and a Bloody Mary for my friend. +Make it extra bloody.” +When our drinks came, he poured a dollop of something from an inner pocket into my Bloody Mary. +“That should help,” +“That should help,” he said. +“You could run on empty with a little of that stuff. +It won’t refill your blood supply, but while that’s in your system, you won’t even need blood.” +He grinned at me. +I took about half of the Bloody Mary in one gulp and then ate the celery. +“Okay,” +“Okay,” I said, “now that we’re sitting down, can you explain a little more of what’s going on here? +“now that we’re sitting down, can you explain a little more of what’s going on here? +I mean, what is this place, really?” +He thought about that. +Without hearing the car horns, I could almost taste the air of late March through the street fumes. +This place is just a little of both. +In America, things are still weird after the European conquest. +The natives are still here, but so is everyone else. +The Europeans mostly manifest as something like the underground society of your cities. +We aren’t quite what you’d expect from reading the Grimms.” +“What do you mean?” +“Okay, take elves.” +He caught the bartender’s eye for another shot. +“You figure they’re some Lincoln-green pretty boys who run around in the forest with bows and live forever in halls of glory, right? +Not in America. +Here, they’re the snotty rich who show up in clubs because they like the ‘gritty ambience’ – you have them in your world, too, right? +Except it’s worse here because they have centuries to grow disaffected and flirt with exciting and dangerous elements of society’s lowest rungs. +Some of them actually commit to this society, though. +There’s an amazing DJ who’s an elf. +He has a real ear for it. +When they do decide to do something for real, they’re always the best at it.” +If it was March, that meant that we’d been together almost a year and a half. +He downed the second shot. +It’s exhausting to talk to those people. +One wrong word and you find yourself cursed with infinite earwax or something. +So what else do you want to know, Nathan?” +“I don’t know …hey, what about the nature spirits, things like that? +I mean, where do the dryads fit in a place like this?” +That made me a little sad. +They were always my favorite part of the Greek myths I read in elementary school. +“Well, what about you? +“My parents came over from Russia, just like your family. +My real name is a little more ethnically appropriate, but we don’t toss those around in this place. +It was last February, after the winter break, that we moved in together. +They were spirits of a certain branch of the Volga and the village based around a mill on that tributary. +When the Russian government dammed the river, my parents decided that instead of dying with the river, they would stick with the people of the village they’d protected. +I was born here, and I was lucky enough not to get attached to any particular river. +He took another shot of vodka. +“Shouldn’t you be going light on the vodka? +I mean, we might have a lot of work ahead of us.” +“Are you kidding? +I can drink like a fish, kid. +Now spring was back, under the concrete, and I could smell it even here. +We should get going, though. +Still woozy?” +I nodded. +“A little walking should get the stuff into your system. +Come on, let’s go.” +As we left the bar, I asked to see the rock. +“Why?” +Nepthys asked. +“I’m just curious. +I want to see what a magic stone looks like. +Don’t worry, I’ll be careful not to touch it.” +He thought about it, then handed me the pouch. +I undid the strings and let the pouch sit on my palm so that I could see the stone inside. +It looked like a normal river stone, a gray oval with a white stripe through it. +Suddenly, what looked like a little kid darted out of an alley and almost ran into me. +I almost tripped over him, and the stone went flying out of the pouch. +Nepthys tried to grab it, but, by reflex, I caught it first. +“Isn’t it an amazing night, Rache? +Immediately, I felt it grow warm and knew that I had done something very stupid. +“Nathan,” said Nepthys, “I think that you just did something very stupid.” +“I agree,” +“I agree,” I told him. +The stone was as warm as human flesh now, and there was a sort of glow that might have been light or just the stone’s soft heat, I don’t know. +Even the city feels alive when spring comes.” +Then there was light, a kind of rosy glow, and I felt the stone slip out of my hand to float in the air. +The air around me seemed to still sound, and light came in around the corners of my eyes. +“Do you know what this thing does?” +I shouted, hardly able to hear myself. +Nepthys was saying something that looked like, “I have no idea!” +“I have no idea!” +but I couldn’t hear him. +The light in the corners of my eyes rushed in, converging on the rosy glow around the stone, and for a moment I was blind. +“Taxi!” +There was no sign of the stone. +“I think I understand why we got that stone from a slave shop,” +“I think I understand why we got that stone from a slave shop,” said Nepthys. +She waved down a car and pulled me in. +Her arms and legs were wrapped in white linen up to her wrists and ankles, and soft, white leather boots held her feet. +When she didn’t move, I knelt down and put a hand to her brow. +As soon as I touched her, her eyes opened into mine and she grabbed my wrist. +I couldn’t move. +“Name me,” she said. +I opened my mouth to ask for an explanation, but Nepthys stopped me. +“Don’t name her ‘What did you say?’, okay? +‘What did you say?’ +The next thing that comes out of your mouth is probably what she’ll respond to until we figure out how to put her back.” +I was at a loss. +I’d never named anyone before. +I thought back to one time when I’d been thinking about raising a family and remembered that I’d always liked the name – +“Amy.” +Nepthys looked at me incredulously. +“You awaken a magical being of unknown power from an enchanted stone, having purchased her with your own blood from a slave dealer, and you name her ‘Amy’?” +Amy smiled at me and let go of my arm, but not before she brought my fingers to her lips and gave them one soft kiss. +I stood up and Amy stood with me. +“So …back to our garlicky friend?” +“I suppose so,” +“I suppose so,” said Nepthys, “and you’d better pray to whatever god you think will listen that he won’t care we woke her up.” +“and you’d better pray to whatever god you think will listen that he won’t care we woke her up.” +We walked back to the herb stand. +The vendor stared a little at Amy, his arms pausing in midair as he lit the stand’s little lamp, but we walked right around him and up the wooden stairs. +When Nepthys opened the little man’s door, he rolled over and grinned to see us, but when Amy walked in, he blanched. +“What!” +he screamed. +“You idiots! +You woke it up? +“But …but sir,” +“But …but sir,” I said, “are you sure she’s no help to you?” +“are you sure she’s no help to you?” +“Not if you named it already, you ninny, and I’m sure that you have! +I heard the pulse already. +Fools! +Get out of my sight now – unless you know how to put it back? +Now leave, before I call the rats on you.” +We left. +Nepthys shook his hands at me like he wanted to wrap them around my neck. +We slammed against the doorway and I was laughing too, the pulse close enough to shake the doorframe and set up vibrations in my chest, Rachel in my arms because she’d used me to soften her landing. +“do you know how much you’ve set us back? +I thought about Rachel; in the excitement, I had forgotten why we were chasing down vampire experts. +Come on, we’re heading out.” +ome on, we’re heading out.” +He held the door for me and Amy when we reached the bottom of the stairs. +Walking outside, I was shocked to see that it was already dark. +“Night comes quickly here,” +“Didn’t I warn you?” +“Okay,” +“Okay,” he said as we hit the street, “we’re going to see another friend of mine. +“we’re going to see another friend of mine. +First, though, we are getting you a hat. +You look ridiculous with a shaved head.” +At a nearby stand, he grabbed the first hat that would cover my head and might pass back in real Boston. +It was a black baseball cap that read “Dead Can Dance” in gold across the front. +“Dead Can Dance” +Amy liked it, I think. +She still hadn’t spoken since I named her, so I wasn’t sure. +He took us to a squat, long building whose roof bulged up like the ribs of a gutted animal. +The black door opened as we came up to it, and a pale man opened the door. +He was naked, but there was nothing to hide: his body was hairless and completely smooth. +I only say “he” because he didn’t have a hint of femininity. +His eyes were white. +From behind him, I could hear something that sounded like a remix of the Cure’s “A Forest”. +“A Forest” +“I’m here to see Isis. +Tell her that Nepthys is here to see her.” +Nepthys walked straight past him and I tried to keep up, taking Amy’s small hand so that she wouldn’t lag behind. +I shivered as I walked past the pale man’s blank eyes, wondering what they were staring at. +Amy gave my hand a squeeze. +Nepthys lead us down a hallway that matched the building’s façade, a vaulted, ribbed intestine of a hallway, whose black walls looked unsettlingly organic. +We kissed and slipped inside. +Then there was a door, which opened as we approached. +Inside, the space opened into a wide, square chamber mirrored and so dark that it could have been any size. +The old vaulted church was stripped down: there was no cloth on the altar, just a DJ’s toolkit and his beer. +These were incontestably male. +“Nepthys!” +said the woman, slithering up across the furs to sit up. +As she rose, her robes fell open and I realized that, except for what looked like a red silk kimono, she was naked – naked and stunning. +I had an urge to cover Amy’s eyes. +Please, come and sit beside me, and introduce your friends.” +“This man is here in search of his lover, who was stolen from him in the human world,” +“The girl is …surprising,” +“The girl is …surprising,” he concluded. +“And I am Isis,” +“And I am Isis,” said the woman, offering her hand to me. +I took it and, dropping to one knee, gave her fingers a small kiss. +It seemed appropriate. +“It is an honor to meet you, Lady Isis,” +“It is an honor to meet you, Lady Isis,” I said. +She laughed, liquid, alluring, alarming. +“Oh, precious! +He has lovely manners, Nepthys, despite his poor taste in hats. +You may leave out the ‘Lady,’ boy. +I don’t wish to be reminded of how old I actually am.” +A wave to the pale men brought a bottle of red wine and a platter of grapes. +Through the dark, I could see three bolts left in the wall from where they’d taken down the crucifix. +I hope I can start by offering some wine.” +Nepthys poured out wine for three of us. +“May I have a little more of what you gave me before, Nepthys?” +I asked. +“I still feel a little woozy.” +He poured a dollop of the clear liquid into one cup and passed it to me. +The wine’s rich scent had a touch of something chemical that I recognized from the bar, but it filled my mouth and sank into my veins with reassuring warmth. +Isis’ nostrils twitched slightly. +This story might be interesting. +Does it have anything to do with why your head is shaved?” +“It was part of the price for this girl, who was a rock at the time,” +“It was part of the price for this girl, who was a rock at the time,” explained Nepthys. +“I have a feeling that she was worth the trade,” +Amy, still holding my hand, smiled. +“She may be at that,” +“She may be at that,” said Isis, gazing at her. +“That sweet, small nose, and her soft lips – she’d kiss well, I should think, if gently. +A confessional too beaten-up to have been sold was shaking in a way that suggested activity inside, and where the pews had been taken out, a couple hundred people were testifying to the DJ’s moving sermon. +She has good blood under her cheeks. +Amy didn’t blush, and I hoped that she didn’t understand what Isis was saying. +“She would have been worth it,” +“if this fool hadn’t accidentally woken her up before we could give her to our contact. +He was going to give us valuable information for her.” +“Now I understand why you’re here,” +“Now I understand why you’re here,” said Isis. +“You know I wouldn’t come to you if I could get this information another way,” +“You know I wouldn’t come to you if I could get this information another way,” said Nepthys apologetically. +“Mmm,” +I couldn’t tell what the thoughtful look on her face meant. +“I think that the person who stole the girl we’re looking for might be a vampire. +Isis …you know some way to locate the undead, don’t you?” +“I do. +Describe this one to me. +If I know him, I can find him. +If not, you’ll have to bring me something to work with.” +Nepthys looked at me. +Isis set her elbows in the fur and rested her head on her hands while I spoke and tried not to stare at her full, hanging breasts. +When I had told her all that I could remember, she blinked her black lashes and said, “I remember him.” +“You do?” +“That’s amazing!” +I would have sworn to you that he was dead. +He should be. +I hope that you can do a better job than the last lot.” +“All right, then. +Let me see if I can find him.” +Isis closed her eyes and lifted her hands. +A dark glow coalesced around her palms. +Amy leaned forward, looking amazed. +The glow reflected on her pink face, casting a sickly pallor over her heartbeat-strong cheeks. +Tiny drops of blood began to seep out of Isis’ palms as her brow creased. +Her candy lips twisted into a frown. +The dark glow grew stronger and larger, filling the air for about a foot around her hands. +Rachel stepped forward into the crowd while I took a moment to drink in the ceiling’s blue-lit, shadowed vault and the light-catching haze from who-knows-what rising between the DJ and the crowd. +In her palms, the droplets of blood swelled into small pools. +The dark glow began to flicker, and Isis’ frown of concentration became one of worry. +The pools in her hands grew deeper. +Then her fingers tensed and her arms began to shake. +The blood in her palms, still filling up, began to ripple. +Shivers swept through her body, and Nepthys reached out to touch her but I stopped him. +He glanced at me with honest concern, probably the first honest moment he’d shown me: ‘Is she all right?’ +‘Is she all right?’ +Her hands twitched and a drop of blood shook out, splashing on the crease of her thigh and hanging to one strand of the black hair between her legs. +Isis collapsed on the fur, strings cut. +Now Nepthys lunged forward, took her by the arms. +“Isis, what happened? +She shook her head, rubbing her face into the white fur and murmuring something. +“What did you say?” +asked Nepthys. +She rolled onto her back, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. +For the first time, she looked vulnerable. +When she finally spoke, I had to lean close to hear her. +“I found your vampire,” +“I found your vampire,” she said, “but he might know that someone’s looking for him. +“but he might know that someone’s looking for him. He’s taken great pains to keep himself hidden. +He’s taken great pains to keep himself hidden. +You should look for him at Dvorov’s as quickly as you can.” +She turned to me with tired sympathy. +Hurry, though, and you might find him before he leaves.” +A twitch of her fingers summoned her pale servants. +“One of these will lead you out.” +I stood, and one of her servants took me and Amy to the door. +I looked back to see Nepthys whispering something to her. +He stood to go, but she caught his sleeve and pulled him back for a moment. +There was a terrific echo, each beat reverberating inside of the next, and the old stained-glass windows rattled in their frames. +I turned back to the door. +“Come on, Amy,” I said, “he’ll be along soon.” +Nepthys caught up with us after a minute and walked silently to the end of the hall. +When we got there, another pale servant was waiting for us with a box of dark stained wood. +He offered it to Nepthys, who opened the box: on velvet lining, a wooden hammer and two stakes. +“Mountain ash,” +“Mountain ash,” said Nepthys. +“That was very kind of her.” +Closing the box, he paused beside the open door and looked back at me. +“I really hope we find your Rachel,” +“I really hope we find your Rachel,” he said. +“I know a quick way to Dvorov’s,” +“I know a quick way to Dvorov’s,” said Nepthys. +“I bet he’s kicking himself now for not having a way to contact me.” +In a few minutes, we were back to the first door we’d knocked on in this town and Dvorov himself was greeting us. +“Yo, my man Nep! +You got the sucker already?” +“No, but we got a tip that he might be in your club. +Have you seen him?” +“Here, man? +You’re crazy. +“Anyway, long time, man.” +“That’s odd. +On the dance floor, people moved with their eyes closed and their hands in the air. +Do you mind if we check it out anyway? +I have a real feeling that he’s in here somewhere.” +Dvorov glanced over his shoulder, a little nervous. +“I guess, man, but be quick. +We’ll be in and out in a minute.” +“No, he said that his research was purely academic, not for hunters.” +“Bummer. +I guess I probably should’ve known, though. +I mean, he is kinda tight about that stuff.” +“Anyway, this is the dance floor, man. +Good luck.” +Something with too many arms was manning the turntables above the crowd, which looked more impenetrable tonight than ever before. +Then I saw the bar on the other side of the crowd and knew where to start looking. +I danced with Rachel for a while, but then something by the bar seemed to be pulling her eyes. +I tried to slip along the edge of the crowd. +Things with scales and claws kept flailing against me, pressing me into the wall, but I took a breath and kept moving. +My nose filled with a reek of thick sweat. +The music began to build, and a strobe came on. +Somewhere toward the center of the dance floor, I heard a howl that sent bitter winds under my clothing – for a second, I was back with my family in Russia, hiding from the cold. +Then I felt a tug on the back of my shirt and noticed that Amy was following me. +I gathered her under my arm. +Dvorov was somewhere behind me, too, negotiating delicately through his patrons. +Just in front of me, a massive thing slammed into the wall, sending up a cloud of granite dust. +It slumped to the floor and I realized that it was a werewolf. +Its haunches twitched in time to the music. +As it started to rise, a man with thick, scaled skin stretched across rippling muscles leapt on him. +She told me that she was heading for a drink and slipped out of the crowd. +I thought that my odds were better on the dance floor. +Holding Amy in my arms as we ducked between the crush of dancers, I started to wonder if the chances of finding this vampire were even good enough to merit this. +A woman who could have been an elf twitched and jerked beside me, fingers trembling at the torn edges of her clothing. +Then a looming shape to my right fell away, and I saw him in a flash of the strobe, his black eyes staring deadly into the crowd. +The creature blocking my vision moved back, but I had seen all that I needed to see. +A bleeding, eyeless thing shuddered and beat its arms against me, but I ducked around it and toward the bar. +When she hadn’t come back halfway through the next song, I glanced over at the bar. +It was Dvorov. +He pulled my ear down to his mouth. +“You seen enough, man?” +he shouted. +“Yes,” +“Yes,” I called back, “I saw him! +“I saw him! +He’s sitting right there at the bar!” +Dvorov tried to peek through the crowd, but it had shifted again and we couldn’t see a thing. +“I don’t think he’s there,” +“It must have been wishful thinking.” +“No, I saw him! +I have to hurry, too! +Who knows how long he’ll stick around?” +“Listen, man, he’s not there! +I’m telling you, it’s not even worth checking the bar!” +“Don’t do this, kid! +It was just a little set-up where someone had stacked a few crates and brought something alcoholic to share, mostly beer. +It’s a dumb idea. +Even if you did find this vampire cat, he’d tear you apart! +I shook him off and squeezed between two dancing nymphs, getting almost to the edge of the dance floor. +Suddenly, Amy screamed. +I whirled around and threw up my arm just in time to knock Dvorov away. +His eyes were glowing red, and he had bared a set of fangs that could probably take my hand off. +The dancers near us tried to clear some space. +He jumped at my arm while I was still off-balance, and I felt the surge of adrenaline that comes right when your body realizes that it’s too late to save itself. +On the floor was Dvorov’s head, separated from his body by several feet and a growing puddle of dark blood. +Nepthys stood over him with a blue sword in his hand. +It flashed in the strobe where it wasn’t streaked with Dvorov’s blood. +“He wasn’t the only one with a secret or two,” +“He wasn’t the only one with a secret or two,” he said by way of explanation. +“You spotted our boy, didn’t you? +I bet his hide-out is nearby, too. +Let’s hurry.” +Rachel was standing with a plastic cup, looking like she was having a conversation, but I couldn’t see anyone else there. +He wiped off the sword and sheathed it in a scabbard now belted to his hip. +The crowd parted for us. +The vampire glanced up when he saw the crowd split and his eyes flashed when he noticed us. +In a blink of the strobe light, he was on his feet and dashing from the room. +“Come on!” +shouted Nepthys. +We chased after him, Amy keeping up valiantly behind us. +Luckily, the vampire turned off after three stories. +He ran down a hallway and slipped behind one of the doors, but Nepthys was close behind him and left it open for me. +I called out to Amy to shut the door in case the vampire had any friends who might be trying to follow us. +Nepthys urged me on from the back of the room, then made a turn out of sight. +When I came to the door at the end of the room, it looked like it had been torn off its hinges. +I didn’t imagine that Nepthys had done it, and it wasn’t without alarm that I ran after him. +A black hallway opened into a space like a cathedral. +The vault rose into obscurity above me, and a massive rose window stood ahead of me. +The panes looked dyed black, and only a few cold beams slipped through the filter. +Footsteps echoed through the stone chamber, and the sound reflected back to me from everywhere. +When I asked her if she'd ever seen them – before I was old enough to stop believing, I mean – she would always look sad and tell me, "No, not since the family came to America has anything happened to us. +I couldn’t tell how many people were running, much less where they were. +On the steps in front of the altar, I saw pale forms and realized that they were Rachel and two other women. +He stood in front of a blue light, so I couldn’t see him clearly, but what I saw was memorable. +Then I heard Nepthys shout, “Nathan! +“Nathan! +Behind you!” +I whirled and dropped in time to see the vampire shoot over my head, leaping like a panther. +There was Nepthys, on the other side of the pews, holding the wooden box in his hand. +I pulled out the hammer and one of the stakes. +He leapt over the pews, soaring like a grasshopper, and drew a gleaming knife in midair. +I dodged, but he tossed it, and I held the box in front of my face. +The blade lodged in the wood, its silver point penetrating the velvet and nearly reaching my skin. +My arms shook from the force of his throw. +His first move pulled out the dagger, almost wrenching my arms from their sockets as I held on to the box, and the second shattered the box with a crushing punch that sent me reeling backwards. +He wore a jacket of what might have been blue velvet, and his hair gleamed black against his white skin. +I dropped the splinters and the broken second stake and raised my hammer, ready to drive the ash spike into his heart. +Behind him, I saw Nepthys running between the pews. +I braced my legs against the stone floor and he was on me. +I raised the stake; he drew back the dagger for a slash that could doubtless open my neck from throat to spine. +The stake went down, there was a blur, and then my hands were empty and I felt pain under my jaw. +Two points of fire opened in my throat for an instant, then all went numb. +Taste, hearing and touch became a single blur, and I do not know if my eyes were open. +My mind began to dissipate, but then I felt the pain withdraw and a lifeless voice said, “This one’s blood isn’t worth drinking.” +“This one’s blood isn’t worth drinking.” +Hands closed on my neck and I felt my spine crack. +I must have fallen to the floor then. +I could perceive Nepthys’ sword flashing over me, and I heard steel crack, then bone. +The blue haze seemed to stop just shy of his pallor, setting off his striking face without illuminating its details, and his wrists flashed white in the darkness. +I thought I heard Rachel’s voice blearily calling for me. +I was content to let myself drift away, and I had almost forgotten the body lying with broken neck on the cathedral’s hard tiles when I felt a warm touch on its cheek. +A girl’s voice, soft and almost recognizable, spoke, “Nathan.” +“Nathan.” +I felt my head turn and something in my neck reconnected. +Then my eyes opened and Amy handed me the hammer and stake. +I stood and turned toward the altar. +The vampire was walking just steps ahead of me. +I stepped up behind him and raised my hands, which almost seemed to be glowing. +Then the stake came down into his back and one, two, three strikes with the hammer drove it in. +The vampire fell forward and blood began to flow from his mouth. +Behind me, Amy was kneeling beside Nepthys, whose arm and rib cage were knitting back together like a wooden toy that falls apart when its string is released but draws itself together at a slight tug. +I pulled the vial of liquid that he’d been giving me from his pocket and ran to the altar. +Rachel, her clothes torn and her face drawn, looked like she might cry when she saw me. +I pulled her into my arms and she tried to put hers around me. +“My fuckin’ hero,” +“My fuckin’ hero,” she whispered. +She nodded and he took her arm. +I watched them through the crush of dancers as they squeezed along the wall, and the feeling came to me that something was very wrong. +Saturday morning, I woke up and saw that she still hadn’t come home. +I called Mitch and our other friends, hoping that she’d crashed at one of their houses, but I had no luck. +A couple of them remembered seeing her leave, but none of them had seen the thin man with her. +I didn’t know how they could miss such exotic features, even in that distorting light. +Nathan’s Bylichka +I caught a taxi back to the church. +It was still a mess, but everything bigger than a soda can had disappeared. +I walked across what had been the dance floor. +The church was completely different now: sunlight fell through the stained glass, catching dust that still hung in the air and sending a dry, healthy warmth into the edges of the room, through the stone and the powdery concrete that had been covered last night by flesh and flashing lights. +I realized that Rachel had disappeared without leaving a clue and I had no way to do anything but wait for her to show up – which, if she were in a situation where I should be doing something, would probably be never. +Standing in the center of the church, I took out my cell phone and called the police. +“I need to file a missing persons report. +…Rachel Frieze. +Last night, walking on West 2nd street around – maybe eleven or twelve o’clock. +What? +…But, sir, this is an unusual situation. +She didn’t come home last night, none of her friends have seen her. +…Sir, if she’s in any danger, it will probably be too late to help her by that time. +…Yes, sir. +I understand.” +The police wouldn’t file a report for someone who’d been missing overnight. +Walking out of the church, a little gust of cold air caught me by surprise. +A cold front must have hit while I was inside. +Glancing down the street, I realized that I didn’t have a friend to drive me home this time, and it was a long walk back to the streets where taxis ran. +I pulled my T-shirt’s sleeves down my arms as far as they’d go, but I wasn’t ready for cold. +Walking didn’t build up much heat; it just moved the air enough to chill me more. +After I’d walked about a block, a car rolled up behind me. +It slowed down as it neared me and I started to worry. +This wasn’t the best of neighborhoods. +I kept my eyes straight ahead and tried to walk more quickly without showing it. +I heard an automatic window roll down. +“Hey,” said a male voice, “do you need some help?” +I turned around. +The man looked over forty, and he was driving a car I’d be afraid to drive on this street. +“It’s a long way to anywhere worth going,” +he said. +“Would you like some help?” +“Ah, I think I’m fine, thanks,” +“Ah, I think I’m fine, thanks,” I told him, and turned back to the sidewalk. +As I got older, I shook the tales off with a nod and a "Yes, Nana." +“Really, I’d like to help. +Please, hop in. +You don’t look dressed for this weather.” +I glanced back over my shoulder. +“No thanks, sir! +Really, don’t worry about me.” +“Nathan Spencer, I offer you help. +I advise that you not refuse me a third time.” +I stopped and looked back at him, surprised. +He met my eyes coolly. +“How do you know my name?” +“I know your family. +Get in. +We have a lot of work ahead of us, and it’s best to start now.” +"Yes, Nana." +I walked around the car and got into the passenger seat. +Before I had my belt on, we were rolling forward. +“Okay,” +“Okay,” I said. +Now, will you tell me how you know my family, and how you happened to be driving by just now? +I got older and went to school, then to college, and I replaced the dreams my Nana gave me with the music DJs mixed for crowds in clubs, webs of pulse that shook us until we could believe anything. +In fact, why didn’t you call me by name the first time? +And how did you recognize me when – ” +I know your family because an ancestor of mine made a bargain with an ancestor of yours. +I am here now because you called for help, and no-one else would answer.” +He turned onto the next street and shifted up. +Also, international competitors drew on a large supply of very cheap labor. +Jobs were scarce in other steel-exporting countries, and labor laws were either non-existent or allowed employers to pay much less for work. +Labor costs in America continued to go up, draining US companies of their resources, while companies overseas were able to cut labor costs and put that money back into updating and renovating their facilities. +On a worldwide scale, newer materials such as aluminum, plastic, and composites were beginning to substitute steel both at home and abroad. +Steel demand worldwide was beginning to decline, and it affected both domestic and foreign companies. +Since this problem was a national one rather than a local one, the problems that were occurring in Youngstown were not unique. +Youngstown was perhaps hit harder than any other town by the collapse of the steel industry, but it was not alone. +The problem was a national one, involving many more mills and issues than Youngstown’s alone. +J. Philip Richley, a union member and organizer of many attempts to save 5the mills, has summed it up thus: “You just can’t solve a nation-wide problem in a single city.” +“You just can’t solve a nation-wide problem in a single city.” +The decline of the world steel market affected not just Youngstown but the entire steel community in America. +Trying to prop up one city’s mills was impossible when faced with the depression that spread throughout the entire industry. +The Save Our Valley Campaign: Lack of Funds and Plans +As the name suggests, local leaders wanted to instill the people of Youngstown with a fierce sense of urgency, driving them forward to confront steel companies and owners and help secure the future of the region. +The events that would follow this date (known as Black Monday) are seen by the people who witnessed them either as stories of great courage and determination or as monuments to human failure and false hope. +Marches, speeches, and letter writing were all employed to help stimulate the Campaign and rally the people. +But the Campaign was bogged down heavily by the lack of proper funding. +The people of Youngstown, being now unemployed had very little money to spend on anything but staying alive. +College tuition, clothes, food, and heating all had to come before donations to non-profit organizations. +People outside of the area had no personal investment in the mills, and so it was difficult to convince anyone from out of the county to contribute funds. +The lack of money proved to be crippling, because it prevented the organizations involved from purchasing the mills to run collectively. +Without funds, the Save Our Valley Campaign could do nothing major to help salvage the city’s dying economy. +The Save Our Valley Campaign also lacked one essential component: an actual concrete plan. +No one seemed to know just how to go about fixing the problems. +Letters and petitions were all very well, but they did little to improve the situation. +People clung to vague ideas of worker collectivization, but no one could really fathom exactly how that would work; the people of Youngstown were, after all, not particularly familiar with socialism or collectivization in general. +Beyond that, no one knew how they should proceed: everyone knew that saving the mills was important, but nobody stepped forward with a full-fledged plan to do it without losing huge amounts of money and dragging even more people down. +Without funds to drive the efforts, or even a real plan of action, the Save Our Valley Campaign did more harm than good. +In effect, it raised the hopes of workers without having any real chance at saving anything. +People became excited and waited for the mills to reappear, but they never did. +The Campaign failed to save any jobs and Youngstown was plunged into economic chaos. +The Apathy of USWA +Initially many assumed that their union would take a lead role in fighting for the recovery of their jobs. +However, it soon became clear that although the local union leaders were prepared to fight, the international branch was not. +The higher levels of the union became increasingly disassociated with Youngstown and its plight, attempting to shut out the appeals from workers and local union representatives and to ignore what was really happening. +Actually, one main reason for the behavior of the USWA was that union leaders really had no idea what to do. +No one had ever seen a shutdown of this magnitude and rapidity before, and none of the leaders of USWA, not even president Lynn Williams, knew what could be done. +It was clear to everyone that the economic fallout from this series of closings would be one of the worst in US history, and so without any real precedents the union leaders were flustered. +Rather than try and come up with some sort of scenario, the USWA simply ignored what was going on in Youngstown, hoping that perhaps the problem would resolve itself, or at least not spread any further than it already had. +Besides incompetence, the USWA had one other major reason for rejecting their local counterpart: fear of socialism. +Obviously the union itself was not afraid of socialist action, but they worried that the federal government might see the efforts of Youngstown workers to collectivize as a movement towards socialism and perhaps even communism. +If the USWA supported the efforts to revive the mills and encouraged worker control and ownership of the factories, then the government (and potentially other important people and institutions as well) might begin to think that the UWSA leaders were encouraging socialism. +This would mean that UWSA would lose credibility with the American government and its people, something they could not afford to do. +Regionalism +From its very first days the Mahoning Valley has been an area packed with small villages and hamlets. +Petitions, protests, rallies, collectivization, and even the takeover of a steel company’s headquarters were all attempted in a desperate movement by those in the industry to preserve the only source of employment that this town had. +Boardman, Poland Township, Struthers, Lowellville, Warren, Lordstown, Canfield, Niles, and many other towns and districts are crowded around Youngstown (see Figure 3). +However, although traffic is heavy between each separate district, each area has its own distinct cultural ethnicity, educational system, heritage, history, and even food. +For example, Struthers is a poor town with a large Slovak population, where education is generally better than in surrounding towns, but unemployment is much higher and pollution is widespread. +Most people in Struthers are either Orthodox or Baptist. +Two blocks over one finds Boardman, a well-off township with a reputation for rich but unsuccessful schools. +Its residents are mainly Italian and Roman Catholic, with a small concentration of Methodists on the east side. +Unemployment is low in comparison with surrounding towns, and the streets are clean and well kept. +With many more cultures, religions, and economic levels living in close proximity to one another, a curious phenomenon has overtaken the area: regionalism. +Each town, with their own identity, instills a strong regionalistic feeling within their respective populations, which dictates many habits, exchanges, and interactions between populations. +Workers from Poland Township would refuse to attend rallies with workers from Campbell, and citizens of Struthers would become suspicious of people from Boardman, even if they were supposed to be working towards the same thing. +A lack of cooperation became a crippling problem for the movement, because no one was willing to put aside regional differences to work together. +In some instances, small companies would express interest in helping the movement or in relocating their business in the area, but because of regional pride no one could ever agree where the new businesses should relocate. +In this way the people of the Mahoning Valley missed many opportunities for new industrial or commercial lifeblood because of arbitrary arguments where the goal was simply to protect regional pride. +These well-intentioned efforts ultimately failed, leaving thousands with shattered dreams and a distinct lack of trust in fellow humankind. +Conclusion: The Aftershock and the Significance of Black Monday +Black Monday was a devastating blow to an entire generation of people. +The efforts to avoid catastrophe after the fact were unsuccessful for four main reasons: the failure of the international steel market, the lack of funds and plans in initiatives such as the Save Our Valley Campaign, the refusal of the USWA to support their local chapter out of ineptitude and fear, and the absurd but very real regionalism which corrupted solidarity efforts and drove away any hope for brining in new companies. +What happened in Youngstown may not seem significant on an international or even on a national level, and perhaps it is not. +But to the thousands of people living there, the loss of the mills was a devastating event that sent shock waves through their economic, political, and social futures. +Because of the mills and their conspicuous absence, hundreds of people were uprooted, forced to leave their homes and tightly knit communities. +For the people of Youngstown, Black Monday was not just a historical event- it was the most important event in their lives. +Even though they eventually failed, the fact that they tried to preserve what they felt belonged to them is an amazing example of how far people will go to save their lives and the futures of their children. +But why did the brave attempts by union leaders and concerned citizens to revive the steel industry ultimately fail? +An Extended Essay in History +Most importantly, the problem in Youngstown was a nationwide problem. +Although it affected Youngstown and the surrounding area more than it affected other regions, the local people simply could not solve a national crisis on a local level. +A Brief History of Steel in Northeastern Ohio +In 1802 James and Daniel Heaton discovered ore and coal lining Yellow Creek in an area outside of Youngstown known as Poland Township. +Their blast furnace, “Hopewell,” was the very first blast furnace in the area. +During the Civil War, Youngstown played a vital role in supplying the Union army with iron products. +Youngstown also was a major railway crossroads, due to its strategic position between Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York, and Chicago. +The Decline of the Northeastern Ohio Steel Market: Why Did Attempts by Union Leaders and Concerned Citizens to Revive the Steel Industry Ultimately Fail? +During the 19th century, the center of iron manufacturing had gradually shifted from the far East Coast (Massachusetts and Eastern Pennsylvania) to the Ohio Valley Pittsburgh regions of the Northeast, including the Mahoning Valley and the Hanging Rock region of Ohio and Kentucky. +By 1880, Youngstown’s population had grown to nearly 16,000, which meant it had doubled in size over a twenty-year period. +The town continued to prosper, driven by the flux of immigrants pouring in with the hopes of employment at the mills. +This prosperity continued until the late 1920s, when the Great Depression hit the area hard. +Despite the Congress of Industrial Organization’s successful efforts to establish a national steel workers’ union, the industry barely survived the Depression years. +Strikes racked the town during the forties, fifties, and sixties, and they were often long and bloody. +In 1973, the Experimental Negotiating Agreement was signed. +This prohibited strikes and lockout, angering workers and driving productivity and laborer morale down. +At the same time, stricter governmental standards for environmental protection and the growth of imported steel were making it harder to produce and market American steel parts, and the overeager shareholders in the companies’ stock were pushing for more and more of their share of the pie. +Most importantly, Youngstown’s steel mills were slowly becoming less efficient and more expensive. +September 19, 1977 is a date that few people in Youngstown, Ohio will ever forget. +Old technology was not replaced, obsolete methods were not updated, and almost none of the industry’s profits were being utilized to help modernize. +Black Monday and the Crash of the Steel Industry +The announcement of the closing of the mills in 1977 was the beginning of a downward spiral, which would send the entire valley into chaos and ruin. +Between 1977 and 1981, a total of five mills were closed and approximately 25,000 jobs were lost countywide. +Meetings of union officials and mill bosses were hurriedly set up in an attempt to persuade the powers that be to reconsider their statement. +However, it was clear that, in the words of USWA president Lloyd McBride, “If you can’t make a buck, you get out of the business.” +On that date Jennings Lambeth, president of Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, announced that most of the steel company’s Campbell Works would close. +“If you can’t make a buck, you get out of the business.” +The closings meant the end of Youngstown’s only real industry, the end of its population growth, and then end of economic progress. +Without the mills, people sought other places of employment in adjoining states or even other areas of the country. +Those that could afford to move did so; those that couldn’t afford to move mostly ended up on the streets. +Without an industrial or a residential base, commerce shrank considerably. +It was becoming increasingly clear that without the industrial base provided by the mills, the city of Youngstown would soon become a ghost town, inhabited by those too poor or hopeful to escape. +The workers decided they needed to do something to save their city, and so they mobilized in a variety of ways. +Attempts to Save the Mills +The very first thing that the workers could do was “to get up a petition to stop the shutdown,” says Ed Mann, a local union leader and organizer. +The petition was circulated, eventually including thousands of signatures; it was then given to USWA representatives to present to President Carter in Washington. +However, the representatives were shunted to the side and ignored in Washington, since Youngstown’s political influence had died with its industry. +The International chapter of the USWA had much more lobbying power, but they refused to support the local union members. +The petition was lost among paperwork and bureaucratic procedure. +Next, workers decided to form the Ecumenical Coalition, an organization of local religious groups which spearheaded the attempt to reopen the Youngstown works. +The Coalition drafter letters to the Lykes Company asking if a group of workers might purchase the mill and run it collectively. +Although for other cities this would simply be a minor economic setback, for the people of Youngstown and the surrounding area, it meant disaster. +Lykes ignored the letters, so the Coalition turned once again to the federal government. +Here, too, they were ignored. +The Coalition had no proper funds to buy the mills, so they could do nothing but sit back and watch as the mills closed. +Finally, following the shutdown of US Steel’s plant in 1980, local union leaders congregated outside the US Steel Headquarters in Youngstown. +They invited local people and politicians to witness the scene, then charged the Headquarters and took it over. +The workers stayed there until the next day, when US Steel declared that they were ready to talk about selling the mill. +Immediately after the workers left the building, US steel representatives told the local union leaders that they had changed their minds and were no longer interested in allowing the workers to purchase the mill. +All these efforts eventually came to nothing, and Youngstown’s steel mills remained closed. +These attempts to save the mills were hindered by several major factors, including the decline of the world steel market, which made American steel impossible to sell or export. +The efforts to save the mills failed partly because the international market for steel had largely dried up. +In fact, American steel imports were beginning to outweigh exports. +Foreign steel was easier and more efficient to make, and was often of higher quality than domestic steel. +Mahoning County was a one-industry area, and the people of Youngstown, Struthers, Campbell, Boardman Township, and the numerous other small towns and villages in the area only had one main employer: the steel mills. +Foreign steel companies invested in their factories, updating their technology and replacing their equipment often. +This meant that foreign facilities were more modern and efficient than any plants in America, and therefore were able to export a more competitive product. +Foreign steel was also much cheaper. +You can mix them with a 30/30/40 mix of potting soil, worm casings and clay. +Or you

they are worth publishing." +Allan sat down at his desk and pulled the chair in close. +"If you never finish such stories, how can they be worth publishing?" +"That is precisely why I must excise this malignant instinct!" +"Why do you write?" +"…Why – to earn a living, I suppose. +Why do you ask?" +"You choose to write rather than become a fisherman or a carpenter, though you face such difficulty. +I would not be happy, thus separated from it." +"So at its heart, then, your writing – as opposed to working otherwise – is for yourself?" +"Yes, I suppose one could see it thus. +But really, Nathan, your queer habits of conversation have reached a new level." +Ignoring the statement, Nathan continued. +"Your writing is for you, Allan, not for the publishers or some imagined audience. +Since you seem unable to write 'normally,' why not embrace your tales as they are, leave behind the one unhappiness in the art you admit is a source of pleasure? +Your stories strike a chord with the deepest, most ancient stories of mankind, the tales basic to humanity. +Tell them, and they will create an audience. +You need not pander to what you imagine their wants are; speak, and they shall listen." +Allan crouched over his desk once more, pen in hand and mind blank. +He contemplated a story, an outline he had laboriously constructed some time ago. +He had filled his pen and raised it, the nib descending towards the paper, before the sound came: the gentle, persistent tapping of the gnarled, primeval willow touching the window with long, insistent fingers. +His eyes awoke with a passionate, determined flame, though the only light came from the glutted moon. +Allan filled page after page, the words escaping from his mind onto the paper. +Where before they had marched in regiments, practiced in ranks and followed their leaders' commands, the words now escaped in their true forms, unhindered by any stricture. +He continued long into the night, until the eldritch orb had sunk into the waiting hands of the willow, raised perpetually skyward. +Arthur looked up from the results of a night’s frenzied labors and looked Allan in the eye. +"What is this?" +he queried, indicating the pages he held in his left hand. +"I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely," +"I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely," Allan replied, somewhat less self-assured than he had been the previous night. +Although the concept was a simple one, Allan thought it had potential. +"What in G-d's name could have possessed you to do such a thing," +"What in G-d's name could have possessed you to do such a thing," cried Arthur, nearly raising his voice. +"After all I said the day before, why have you abandoned centuries of literary progress for some self-indulgent fantasy?" +He shook the papers at Allan, raising them like a belt above the head of a disobedient son. +"This is nothing but a glorified Grimm's tale, a miscarried child of Stoker, a creation less fit to be published than to be told around an open fire at the hovel of some peasant!" +He spoke the last word with such heavy intonation that Allan shrank back before the physical wave of sound emanating from Arthur's throat. +Besides, the public liked a good, simple romance. +"Do you hate the modern system of literature? +Do you personally despise the works the Enlightenment or the progress made since Shakespeare? +Do you personally despise the works the Enlightenment or the progress made since Shakespeare??" +?" +For a moment, Allan could hardly do more than shake his head. +"Then why," +"Then why," Arthur barreled on, "do you disregard them all and return to this superstitious babble, this morbid, paganistic drivel? +"do you disregard them all and return to this superstitious babble, this morbid, paganistic drivel? +Why do you disregard my warnings, my careful advice given in the best of friendship and designed only to save you from sinking into this very type of corruption, this literary debauchery?" +"Could you write decent tales with that willow at your window?" +"Its twigs rap constantly against the wall, the wind always demanding my attention. +How could any writer accommodate the edicts of popular literature with the very forces of nature knocking upon his door?" +Arthur looked down his nose at the distraught author, viewing his complaint with pure disdain scantily concealed by the veneer of politeness that animated the construct that was Arthur Mason. +A tree forced you to write this, my dear Mr. Clemm? +They gazed at each other, lost in the rapture of love based so deeply within their hearts that they had never seen it before. +"You don't know what this is like," +"You don't know what this is like," said Allan, shaking his head. +"Nathan would understand completely." +Even as he said it, Allan prayed that his statement was true. +"Very well," +"Very well," said Arthur; "then take your story to that hedonist and let him defend you when no civilized publisher will approach you. +"then take your story to that hedonist and let him defend you when no civilized publisher will approach you. +If you insist on abandoning me, I shall not hold you." +Stunned, Allan slowly gathered up the pages and placed them in order. +He then turned and left through the door opposite that Arthur had taken, making his way past his host's doorman without assistance and setting off on foot towards Nathan's residence, several miles away. +Nathan read the package of words in silence, his only motions the steady progress of his eyes and occasional replacement of pages. +Allan sat nervously across from him in a chair Nathan had probably upholstered himself, a patchwork design of fabric containing easily more stuffing than any other furniture item of the period. +At long last, Nathan reached the end and set down his reading on the table between them. +Opening a side drawer, he took out a piece of paper and his inkpot. +Allan leaned forward unconsciously. +"What about Roger?" +"So," +"So," he asked, "you don't think it's a waste of ink and paper, a futile expedition into morbidity or literary debauchery?" +she asked, knowing that the answer no longer mattered. +"you don't think it's a waste of ink and paper, a futile expedition into morbidity or literary debauchery?" +"Heavens, no," said Nathan, aghast. +"This is one of the strongest works I've read in ages. +It speaks to the deepest storyteller's instinct within us all, yet is entirely original. +Oh, they may rail against you at first; they may decry you as a heathen or a literary savage; but while those in power say such things, others will read your tales and see their true worth. +Believe me when I say that you will be read a century from now." +Allan, though dubious as to that possibility, felt some temptation from the compliment; mainly, it granted him the encouragement he still needed. +Nathan promised to show the story to a printer he knew and Allan left it with him, then walked home under the spreading maples with a smile lingering on his face. +This is good, he thought, pausing to raise the low light of the lantern. +He felt now that perhaps Nathan was right; although the man was somewhat peculiar, he had both an unimpeachable honesty and a certain propensity for insight. +Certainly, it was undeniable that the stories had an originality to them. +His mind's strangest fruit had ripened at last, and he found the taste less bitter than expected. +These thoughts and others like them filled his head as he walked the long road home. +It was evening, and the sky burned orange in the west when he neared home at last. +Passionate, fiery colors filled the western sky before him, though the sun itself had reached the trees and a few dark clouds circled overhead. +I'm almost done, and the happy ending is just falling into place. +As Allan drew closer, he distinguished a new cloud, a pillar rising directly ahead; a road of smoke ascended in the west, its source hidden by the very hillock that concealed his house from the traveler until one had nearly reached its door. +Allan's thoughts fled as one, scattering on the breeze that scattered the warning plume. +Arthur paused in the door, looking up at Allan for a moment; then he turned and shut the door behind him. +I hardly dare to think it, but – I may finish this story! +The driver snapped the reins and set the horses on. +The heavy curtains had been drawn across its windows. +He watched as the carriage drew still more distant, the horses' hooves still kicking up dust along the roadway. +When they had gone, he remained, stunned, until the scent of woodsmoke recalled him to himself. +He turned to regard the pillar still rising behind his house and ran to see what had been done. +A mass of flaming wood stood before him, heat singeing him and sparks flying too close to his house. +As he thought this, a sinuous wind encircled the house, slipping through the walls to chill him. +It was a moment before he realized what else had changed: near the wall, beneath his window, was a stump with black and ancient bark. +In a thoughtless panic, Allan flew to the stream that ran by his house and began frantically throwing handfuls of water onto the pyre. +His thoughts were not of the act's futility, nor even of the nights spent tormented by the twisted thing; instead, all that filled his mind was the tree's constant presence in his life, growing with him and beside him, its persistent reminders that he had higher, truer things to write, the simple beauty of the great black tree for its own sake. +His handfuls could do nothing to quench the hewn, burning logs, but when the night sky grew dark above him and the fire dwindled to black ashes, tears threatened to spill forth and extinguish the final embers. +But he did not weep. +Instead, he bethought himself of the loss of the tree; considered also Arthur's motivation and whether some good might not come of this, after all. +The papers and the lantern's flame trembled as the thin fingers of a great black willow rapped gently on Allan's window and wall like a stranger knocking on his chamber door. +Leaving the circle of ashes, he stood and turned towards the woods, in which it was his habit to walk when in a pensive mood. +He stepped slowly beneath the branches, a gust of wind stirring up the ashes behind him in a great, swirling eddy, a burning brand that rose up and dispersed on the winds as though it were the willow's last breath. +Allan wandered beneath the trees for a time, thoughts drifting through his mind like great banks of fog, strangely beautiful but impossible to penetrate. +He considered Arthur's intervention; considered that it might be better to accept the fog and continue as his lifelong friend had suggested, to write stories that others would read; for after all, what purpose writing if not to be read? +And without that torturous willow, he might be free to write whatever he saw fit. +Indeed, if he still could not, he could at any time follow Arthur's advice and seek a profession more grounded in reality. +He found himself along the bank of a low, wide stream and allowed himself to follow its current. +As it turned to the deeper woods, elder giants rose above him: a beech, smooth bark a gray-green pennant hoisted on a slope and standing out between the dark, cracked trunks of the nearer trees; great pines, a few magnificent specimens still bearing the three-stroke symbol of the British King; a towering black birch, leaves impossibly high above him. +As the stream wound its way through the largest pines, grown so great as to eclipse that feature of the landscape they had once crowded about for sweet water as saplings, Allan continued, slowing his pace to climb across the toes of the slumbering giants. +This was no stranger, however; the twisted, ancient thing was older than Allan, its branches rapping on his window since his childhood. +Before him, roots imbibing the sweet water of the stream, grew a stand of black willows. +Fallen trunks lay rotting across the rivulet; the living elders oversaw the grove while younger trees, still small and not yet as knotted and gnarled as their forefathers, sprang up where branches reached the ground. +Though the elders' trunks fell and died, their children, first roots grown from the very branches that now lay dead, continued unabated, a continuous line from the most ancient of their ancestors. +Allan stumbled forward, jaw slightly slack, until his outstretched hands encountered the rough bark of a twisted, three-trunked willow whose waists were each larger than Allan himself. +After filling his pen, Allan looked at his paper in the orange glow from the lantern set back in the desk's right-hand corner. +Collapsing at its base, Allan wrapped his arms around the stoic tree and let forth a moan, a cry of purest agony that escaped him as the first tears seeped from the corners of his eyes and slid down his cheeks, falling to the ground and seeping though the fallen leaves and needles to join the water of the stream, flowing through the ground beneath them. +Its thin, drawn fingers framed the bloated moon, whose eerie radiation now bathed the room directly. +The great, jaundiced eye stared down unblinkingly at the author, who gazed up through his window's tiny frame with trepidation. +Allan recalled himself and focused once more on the incomplete page before him. +His pen flickered forth, words dancing out from its nib. +For while the lantern's spark shivered in the chill breeze, this burn was steady and true as the motion of its owner's pen, scratching out the rhythm of the willow's fingers. +The frenzied writing ceased at last, the author leaned back with a slight sigh as if both exhausted and satisfied by his effort. +He held a hand to his forehead, eyes closed and face flushed. +After all that – so near the end, to lose control again. +His breath returning to its normal rhythms, he dared to look at the page before him. +His face soft as if caught between a smile and tears, he draped his loose cape over her shoulders. +"Come, darling," +"Where I am to take you, one need never think of those left behind." +His pen cast a forbidding line of shadow slanting across the page, echoing the inky darkness crouching in the edges of the lantern's struggling glow. +They took their seats within the car and his driver set the horses trotting. +For a few yards, they kicked up dust along the roadway; then they raised their hooves and took to the air. +She gaped, afraid but knowing that no harm would come to her by his hand. +Above them, the Milky Way drew near as if the stars themselves could be reached. +A magnificent glow infused the carriage as they merged with the sky's glory. +Allan crushed the page in his hand and hurled it at the window. +"Damn you," +"Damn you," he cried, "will you never leave me be? +Shall I never finish a story in peace?" +He pounded his desk in vain, cursing the foul muse that drove him. +"Cucumber sandwich?" +Allan took a sandwich between his fingers. +The only other illumination came from a lurid moonlight filtered through thin branches and clouds, casting its bone-pale glow onto the pine floorboards. +In a manner delicately balanced between somber and genial, he refilled their glasses. +"How is the writing these days, my dear Mr. Clemm?" +"Perfectly dreadful, my dear Mr. Mason," +"Perfectly dreadful, my dear Mr. Mason," Allan sighed. +"I had a perfect story in my pages; my hero returned home and reclaimed his love, I nearly had it tied together before…" +"Before?" +Arthur's face assumed a long-suffering aspect of authoritative exasperation. +"I'm not familiar with Mr. Poe's works, but I assume you're referring to your unhealthy penchant for the fantastic." +"It's far from a 'penchant,' Arthur. +This is more like a compulsion, a beast that lies waiting in the dark for the perfect moment, then leaps and takes ahold of me, screaming out through my quill." +"How perfectly awful." +The Black Willow +"I'm sure you know that you must curb this behavior if you wish to produce any writing fit for public consumption." +"I know," Allan replied, "but how am I to do that? +You know I do not wish to make my stories thus; but it is my nemesis, confronting me anew at every turn!" +Arthur raised a critical brow. +Every action you take to deny it nourishment will bring you closer to your goal; and believe me, Allan, you must take every opportunity to quash this uncivilized obsession if you intend to publish. +Allan unfolded another page, this one crowded with ranks of letters in tight formation from left to right. +There simply is no audience for fairy tales – no literate audience, at least." +"It is true," +"It is true," Allan admitted, fidgeting with his cufflinks, "that I would not dream of submitting one of these corruptions of literature to any publisher. +My prodigal ink-blooded children simply lose their vitality when forced along the proper road." +"If only you would restrain this morbid impulse of yours, you might write something really worth reading. +It's hard enough listening to your wild speech without seeing it appear in the refined world of print, like a surly foreigner among a genteel crowd." +Allan hung his head, holding his wine with both hands between his arched knees. +His hair was slightly unkempt after his sleepless night, and his clothing had a rumpled look as if, by mere proximity, it had taken on the aspect of his weariness. +The lines of letters stepped into their divisions, in the shape of a story's outline: the loose, dry skeleton of a tale lay exposed beneath their feet, awaiting tendons, muscle and blushing skin. +He scratched the back of his dark-haloed head and blinked bleary eyes. +"I would drive it out," +"I would drive it out," he said softly, "but I fear for what would remain." +"but I fear for what would remain." +"Perhaps you require a rest from writing," +"Perhaps you require a rest from writing," suggested Arthur. +"You might find that some time in an honest occupation would ground you somewhat, improve your disposition." +"Perhaps it would," +"I shall consider it; in the meantime, however, I must be off. +You have been a gracious host, as always." +Arthur rose and shook his hand. +"So dear a friend is always welcome to my counsel and my home," +"So dear a friend is always welcome to my counsel and my home," he said. +"I hope soon to see you in better sorts." +They parted and Allan made his way pensively from Arthur's gate. +He walked the wheel-ruts, hands in his pockets and unshined shoes collecting dust. +Some quarter-mile from Arthur's gate, he halted, confronted by a halloo. +"Nathan?" +he called out to the empty road. +The reply came from above him and Allan turned to see his friend reclining in the fork of a great tree. +"I had a hunch you'd be at Arthur's today," +"I had a hunch you'd be at Arthur's today," said Nathan, "so I thought I'd wait here for you." +"so I thought I'd wait here for you." +Nathan's lanky frame, dressed in a loose, tan jacket, fit into the branch like an elegant skeleton. +His hair fell loosely across a face that seemed always to have a knowing smirk hidden just beneath its surface, infusing his body with a rakish energy. +"So, Allan," said Nathan, unfolding and lowering his legs to the roadside, "how goes life for the quintessential American author?" +"how goes life for the quintessential American author?" +"I wouldn't know," +"I wouldn't know," replied Allan dryly, before continuing in another tone entirely. +"I destroyed another story last night, Nathan." +Leaning against his tree, Nathan shook his head. +Ended! +Never again shall it see the rosy-fingered dawn! +Nathan, you've read these abominations of mine. +You know just as well as I that they have no future, no potential. +Allan reviewed the troops, all prepared to disembark, their task to form the tale of a young man returning home from Life Abroad to find his childhood friend a bride to-be, thus upsetting the apple cart of his life's plan, clarified – of course – by his very time away from her he loved best. +At best, they are faery tales; at worst, expeditions into macabre realms no healthy mind need ever see." +"So instead, you would write – what?" +"Something saleable; something worth reading, worth writing! +On a sunny Sunday afternoon, the waiting list was an hour long. +After hemming and hawing and assessing my food stash (contents: 10 saltines), I decided to go for it anyway. +By the time I got to Asheville, I was nearing the end of my journey and the bottom of my wallet. +By the time I finally got a seat at the counter, I was starved. +It took me about thirty seconds to pick out the Charleston Chicken Sandwich: "grilled marinated free-range chicken breast on sourdough with melted havarti, romaine lettuce and cranberry mayonnaise". +Free range? +Cranberry? +Havarti? +Yes, I could dig it. +While I waited for the food, I checked out the back of the store where Tupelo Honey Cafe hawks their homestyle wares: preserves, pickles, salsa, honey, t-shirts, aprons and all sorts of mini-advertisements for the restaurant. +I've visited plenty of farm-to-fork restaurants, and this one may be the best I've seen at self-marketing. +There's nothing wrong with it: the food in those jars is probably delicious, though I question whether the $10 tupelo honey had to come from Florida or if it's produced locally. +Either way, it's nice to see a restaurant built on ethics that also happens to be incredibly busy. +Some of that is surely due to good marketing, but the real reason for its popularity is this: +That sandwich was so good, I found myself eating slower and slower with each bite to savor it more completely. +The potatoes were light and un-greasy; the flavors were perfectly balanced; the chicken was juicy and rich; and let's be honest here, I'm always happier eating dead animals when I know they've lived a good life. +I found myself silently thanking the chicken for its delicious contribution. +I will never forget you. +I stopped eating halfway through, not because I was full. +I stopped so I could take the rest home and taste it again later. +On another topic, I made a discovery there in the Tupelo Honey Cafe, one which I'd like to share with you now. +If you're going to a busy restaurant and want great service, bring a camera. +Take a few photos of the menu, the kitchen, the food. +No sooner had I taken the above photo, when a server (not even my server) appeared at my elbow. +But. +Now, I'm not saying the service before my camera-flash was bad, because it was awesome. +When I'd posted on Facebook that I was coming to town, no fewer than three people told me I just had to visit the Tupelo Honey Cafe . +But wow, it sure improved once I appeared to be some sort of food critic or travel writer. +Which, it just so happens, I am. +But even if you're not, try this out sometime. +I can't guarantee it'll work, but I personally will do it againand probably back it up with a stellar review, just like the one I've given the Tupelo Honey Cafe. +Everybody wins. +Okay, that's it! +I could talk about Asheville for weeks, but it's time to move on. +Next stop: sunny Tennessee, where I get down on The Farm. +So I checked their website, and instantly fell in love: +Noshin' at the Tupelo Honey Cafe | Plus, how to get great service in busy restaurants 23 Mar., 2010 +"Tupelo Honey Café opened in downtown Asheville in 2000, an early pioneer in the farm to fork movement and an active advocate for the independent restaurant landscape that pervades the city. +"Tupelo Honey Café opened in downtown Asheville in 2000, an early pioneer in the farm to fork movement and an active advocate for the independent restaurant landscape that pervades the city.

Sep, 2010 at 7:52 am +You know they could. It would be even better for the system. +This would also, make it more profitable. +The horses. +would be heathier. +They wouldn't have to be standing on the acidic sand all of the time. +The straw/hay could also be a form of supplemental food, for livestock/horses, which has been used in before times. +The straw, should be separated from the manure and dried in the air, then buised, by hooves. +Then it is more ready, to be mixed with the soil, in the spring. +To wit: in 2009, David helped launch the Truro Ag Fair -- an event that exceeded all expectations and brought huge crowds to local farmers' booths. +And he manages the First Light Organic Farm, a lush green spot in a hollow of North Truro. +Here, David and his partner Arthur Teubner work year-round growing heirloom and hardy fruits and veggies to sell at market. +This is part 4 of a 4-part series on tourism's impact on Cape Cod. +Kitchen Equipment. +Woks and any other gadgets essential for Chinese cookery make good purchases. +Department stores sell all sorts of intriguing kitchen equipment. +Leather Goods. +Large shops on the fashionable thoroughfares tend to be more expensive than smaller “family” shops tucked away in the side streets. +Locally made items do not live up to their European models. +However, the leather garment industry is growing, and there is a wide range of locally produced leather accessories, all at extremely attractive prices. +For European imports, you will pay top dollar. +Musical, Audio, and Video Equipment. +While it’s no longer the bargain shopping destination it once was, there are still some good buys to be had. +Before purchasing, visitors should make sure of compatibility with systems in their own countries. +Be sure to look around and compare before buying. +Whatever you buy, you may be able to work out a discount. +Ready-to-wear Clothes. +Hong Kong’s shops carry almost every recognizable European and many American labels, from top-end designers to the moderately priced or trendy. +Nathan Road, Central, and the hotel malls are places to look. +You’ll also find bargain clothes for sale at the markets and on push-carts. +Tailoring. +Tailor-made clothes are not as popular in Hong Kong as they were in the past, but hundreds of shops still remain. +Local tailors are experts when it comes to producing custom-tailored garments for both men and women, and are also adept at copying patterns. +In choosing a tailor, look for HKTA membership. +Stores do not open until 10am or later, but shopping goes on into the evening, up to 9:30pm. +Many tailors have Web sites or are listed on Web sites. +Shops all over town will sell you gift tins of exotic blends. +If you want to learn something about tea, go to the Tea Shop at 149 Hollywood Road, or the Moon Garden Tea House at 5 Hoi Ping Road, Causeway Bay. +The owners will brew up a pot so you can taste before making a choice. +Watches. +The saying “Time is money” is quite literally true in Hong Kong: more is spent on watches and clocks here than on cameras and optical goods. +An enormous variety of makes and models are on sale. +Entertainment +Day and night, the action goes on in this vibrant city. +Most shops are open seven days a week. +Hong Kong Diary published weekly by HKTA tells what’s happening in the arts. +Culture buffs are well catered to, and there is always a varied program of events, ranging from world-class concerts to local amateur dramatic productions. +A highlight of the arts calendar is the annual Hong Kong Arts Festival, a three-week dose of international culture in February, with concerts, recitals, plays, jazz, Chinese opera, and innovative productions put on by leading talent from both East and West. +Shops in Central are an exception; they generally close at 6pm and are not open on Sunday. +Tickets for the shows must be reserved well in advance. +There are more than 30 cinemas in Hong Kong, and the latest Western releases are shown in some of the larger ones. +English-language films have Chinese subtitles. +The Hong Kong International Film Festival takes place in April. +More than 200 films from all over the world are shown at this two-week event. +The only holiday on which all commerce comes to a halt is the Chinese New Year in January or February. +Ask at City Hall center about advance reservations. +The Performing Arts +Performance Venues. +The theaters in the Hong Kong Cultural Center in Tsim Sha Tsui are the main venues for concerts and opera. +Other performance centers are the City Hall cultural complex, with exhibition halls and theaters that present concerts, plays, and films; the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts with two major theaters for dance, drama, and concert performances; and the Hong Kong Arts Centre in Wan Chai, where both local and visiting groups perform. +Other centers for concerts, plays, and entertainment are Sha Tin Town Hall and Tsuen Wan Town Hall in the New Territories. +Larger arenas, including the Queen Elizabeth Stadium, the Hong Kong Coliseum, and the Ko Shan Theater in Kowloon play host to various concerts, pop concerts, sporting events, and variety shows. +Classical Music. +The Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra performs new and traditional works; a wide assortment of traditional and Chinese instruments are featured. +The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1975. +Buyer Beware. +Under its conductor, David Atherton, it offers Western classical works and new works by Chinese composers in a September-to-June season. +Be aware that name brands, including electronics, are sometimes fakes, glass may be sold as jade, and that antique you bought may have been made last night. +Cantonese opera is alive and well in Hong Kong, and the two other forms, Beijing and Kun, are sometimes presented. +To most foreigners, this unique art form is likely to be inscrutable at first exposure, but everyone can appreciate the spectacle and the elaborate, glittering costumes. +Although the music may seem strange to the unaccustomed ear, it certainly won’t put you to sleep; cymbals and drums guarantee your alertness. +Dance. +Theater. +The two leading local troupes, the Chung Ying Theatre Company and the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, perform in Cantonese; there are English-language performances at the Fringe Club theaters, 2 Lower Albert Road, in Central. +Puppet Shows. +The classic Chinese puppet is the shadow puppet, manipulated behind a screen by three rods, but hand puppet and marionette shows are also on offer, often for free at public parks and playgrounds. +Nightlife +Hong Kong by night can suit any taste — riotous, sedate, raw, or cultured. +Note that sometimes there is a cover charge of HK$50 to HK$200 at clubs, which may or may not include a couple of drinks. +There are nightclubs in the principal hotels, with bands, dancing, and floor shows. +Always ask for a receipt that records information about the item, and if you buy an antique, be sure to get a certificate of authentication. +Jazz fans will find live jazz presented by international artists at the Jazz Club and Bar, 2/F, 34-36 D’Agular, Central; and at the Blue Note in the Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. +The Frin ge Club, 21 Lower Albert Road, Central, is Hong Kong’s best-known alternate entertainment venue, with jazz, rock, and other live music, in addition to a gallery for visual arts. +Bars with views and live music include Sky Lounge in the Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Tsim Sha Tsui; and Cyrano in the Island Shangri-La in Pacific Place. +Pubs are numerous. +In Tsim Sha Tsui, Ned Kelly’s Last Stand on Ashley Road is an Aussie institution; Delaney’s, 71-77 Peking Road, is one of Hong Kong’s enduring Irish pubs. +The clubs and bars of Wan Chai, long the center of seedy nightlife, have become almost respectable. +Joe Bananas, 23 Luard Road, is a Wan Chai mainstay for all-night partying. +Rick’s Cafe, 78-82 Jaffe Road, is a long-time disco that’s still popular. +A lot of the raunchy action has moved across the harbor to Tsim Sha Tsui East; this is also where you’ll find pricey hostess clubs, popular with Japanese tourists, but definitely not for those on a budget. +Soho, along with the Lan Kwai Fong area, is popular with chuppies (Hong Kong yuppies) and has a lively bar scene. +Causeway Bay also has a variety of bars and clubs. +Needless to say, avoid peddlers who approach you on the street and offer to take you to wondrous bargains. +TOTT’s, in the Excelsior Hotel, is a restaurant with live music and dancing and a harbor view. +Japanese karaoke bars have now become extremely popular with the locals. +There are a number of these on Chatham Road South and around Cameron Street in Tsim Sha Tsui. +The most typical of these are harbor cruises, usually including dinner and dancing on board an air-conditioned floating nightclub. +There are evening bus tours that include visits to a restaurant and night spots; some tours combine a Chinese banquet with a visit to an open-air market and the panorama from Victoria Peak. +Beaches. +In subtropical Hong Kong you can swim from April to early November. +There are more than 40 beaches in Hong Kong that are free to the public. +Most have lifeguards on duty from April to October, changing rooms, toilets, and snack stands. +On Hong Kong Island, Repulse Bay is the most popular; others are Shek O on the east coast and Stanley and Deep Water Bay on the south coast. +On the outlying islands, Cheung Chau and Cheung Sha are on Lantau, and Hung Shing Ye and Lo So Shing on Lamma; inquire about water pollution levels. +The large department stores have fixed prices, but elsewhere you should ask whether there is a discount, especially if you buy several items in one shop. +The Hong Kong Golf Club (Tel. 2812 7070) welcomes visitors to its three 18-hole courses at Fanling in the New Territories, or the 9-hole course at Deep Water Bay. +The Discovery Bay Golf Club on Lantau island (Tel. 2987 7273) has an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. course, open to visitors Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. +The 72-par course was designed by Dave Thomas. +Hiking. +In the New Territories the famous MacLehose Trail stretches 97 km (60 miles) from Sai Kung Peninsula to Tuen Mun. +The Lantau Trail is a 69-km (43-mile) circular trail on Lantau Island that begins and ends at Silvermine Bay. +Both trails are divided into smaller segments of varying difficulty. +Maps of hiking trails are available at the Government Publications Center, Low Block, Government Offices, 66 Queensway in Central. +HKTA also has trail maps and sponsors the Guided Nature Walks, led by rangers, that include hikes in all the different regions of Hong Kong. +Jogging. +Victoria Park has a jogging track in Causeway Bay. +Because of the heavy harbor traffic, only sailors licensed by the Hong Kong authorities can run pleasure boats in local waters. +Contact the Hong Kong Yacht Club at Tel. 2832 2817 for information. +Compare prices before you buy any significant item. +Taijiquan (Tai Chi). +HKTA offers lessons in these exercises that improve concentration and balance at Garden Plaza, Hong Kong Park, Admiralty (Tel. 2058 1234). +Tennis. +There are 13 public courts at Victoria Park Tennis Centre (Tel. +Horseracing. +All levels of society share a feverish interest in the Sport of Kings. +The racing schedule is September to June, and Hong Kong maintains two tracks — the older Happy Valley course on Hong Kong Island and the striking Sha Tin track in the New Territories. +The Hong Kong Tourist Association runs a “Come Horseracing Tour,” which includes entry to the Hong Kong Jockey Club visitors’ box and members’ enclosure, and a buffet-style meal. +Cricket. +Rugby. +Hong Kong has many attractions that appeal to children of all ages. +Since Hong Kong is a duty-free port and charges no sales tax, goods are cheaper here than in the country where they were made. +Hong Kong’s many beaches are especially fun for children. +Children love riding on Hong Kong’s antique trams. +There’s a special Kid’s World that those under 12 can enter free when accompanied by a paying adult. +The more daring can try out the terrifying roller-coaster rides. +Hong Kong’s state-of-the-art interactive museums will interest children of all ages. +Note that when haggling, the merchant assumes you are prepared to pay cash. +For children who love boats, riding the Star Ferry or ferry trips to outlying islands will be exciting, and the Dolphin Watch trip (see page 113) is certain to appeal. +If you plan to visit during May, the carnival atmosphere of the Cheung Chau Bun Festival, with its high bamboo-and-paper towers covered in sticky buns, will fascinate the young ones. +If, after concluding a deal, you try to pay with a credit card, he may then boost the price in order to cover the card charges. +It is advisable to shop at outlets that are members of the Hong Kong Tourist Association (HKTA), identified by a red junk logo. +Membership imposes an obligation to maintain standards of both quality and service, and provides dissatisfied customers with an officially recognized channel for redressing complaints;

Wing On, one of the oldest in Hong Kong; Marks and Spencer; and the Japanese department stores, Mitsukoshi, Sobo, and Seibu. +Malls. +Hong Kong is full of giant malls. +Harbour City, just west of the Star Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the largest; Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, is Central’s biggest mall, with retail outlets and department stores; Times Square is a collection of retail outlets in Causeway Bay. +Factory Outlets. +These stores sell excess stock or factory overruns. +Hong Kong is no longer a factory outlet center since much of its clothing manufacturing has moved elsewhere. +There are factory showrooms in the Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, in Central. +Markets. +Markets are the places to use your bargaining skills. +Hong Kong’s most famous and colorful market is the Temple Street Night Market near the Jordan MTR stop. +Every conceivable kind of goods is sold here: clothing, all kinds of electronics, CDs, souvenirs, crafts, and jewelry. +Specialty goods and souvenirs, often handmade, come from Hong Kong and elsewhere in China. +Stanley Market is located on Hong Kong’s southern coast, and is well-known for all kinds of clothing, including silk and cashmere. +The Jade Market, on Kansu Street in Yau Ma Tei, is known for both jade and freshwater pearls. +This is not the place to make expensive purchases, but it’s great for inexpensive pendants, earrings, and gifts. +What to Buy +Antiques. +Look for fine Chinese bronzes, embroidery, lacquerware and porcelain, tomb figures, and wood carvings, among other possibilities. +The experts point out that it is not age alone that determines a Chinese antique’s value — the dynasties of the past had their creative ups and downs. +Custom-made garments by skillful Hong Kong tailors are still much in demand and cost less than elsewhere for comparable garments. +For serious antiques, try Honeychurch Antiques at no. 29 for furniture and silver, Tai Sing Company at 122 for porcelain. +For fun you can visit the Low Price Shop at no. 47 or the Cat Street crafts stores and flea market. +Brocades and Silks. +Fabrics from China are a bargain and well worth taking home. +For fabrics, also try Western Market, Morrison Street, in Central. +Two reliable places to start looking in Lan Kwai Fong are Photo Scientific in the Eurasia Building and Hing Lee Camera Company, 25 Lyndhurst Terrace. +Carpets and Rugs. +Hong Kong is a mecca for Chinese hand-knotted wool carpets and silk rugs. +Hong Kong’s stores are usually able to arrange shipment. +Caravan at 65 Hollywood Road and the shops in The Silk Road at Ocean Center in Tsim Sha Tsui are good places to start looking. +China (Porcelain). +In Hong Kong you can have a plate, or even a whole dinner service, hand-painted to your own design. +Factories in Kowloon and the New Territories, producing traditional and modern china, are geared to entertain and instruct visiting tourists; prices are appealing. +Two of the largest places to go are the Wah Tung China Company in the Grand Marine Industrial Building in Aberdeen; and the Overjoy Porcelain Factory in Block B of the Kwai Hing Industrial Building, Kwai Chung, in the New Territories. +In antiques shops, look for highly valued porcelains from China. +Electronics. +The latest gadgets are sometimes available in Hong Kong before anywhere else. +Before you begin shopping, pick up HKTA’s “Shopping Guide to Consumer Electronics. ” +Prices on electronics have risen in the past two years; check prices at home before you buy here. +Nathan Road has many electronics shops. +Also check out Star Computer City in the Star House near the Star Ferry terminal. +You’ll find that prices are about the same in Hong Kong Central and Kowloon, and somewhat cheaper in Causeway Bay, which caters to local shopping. +Furniture. +The choice ranges from traditional hand-carved Chinese rosewood furniture to well-made reproductions of modern Western styles. +Rattan furniture is highly popular. +Hollywood Road has several furniture shops. +Queen’s Road East in Wan Chai is a furniture manufacturing and retail area. +Jade. +“ Good for the health” is just one of the many magical qualities that are attributed to these beautiful emerald-green or turquoise stones. +Real jade is extremely expensive, and you may be offered counterfeit jade, which looks exactly like the genuine article. +Some people say you can test the authenticity by touch — real jade feels smooth and cool. +Alternatively, you can shine a lamp on the stone — real jade shows no reflected light. +Better still, go shopping with an expert. +Jewelry. +Thanks to the duty-free situation, prices in Hong Kong are lower than they are in some other places. +You can buy gemstones loose or set, or have them made up to your own design. +Popular purchases include diamonds and freshwater pearls. +If you do plan to buy jewelry, be sure to consult the “Shopping Guide to Jewellery” published by the Hong Kong Tourist Authority to find a reputable dealer. +The statues in the main shrine represent Man, the god of literature, and Mo, the god of war, a curious juxtaposition. +The temple is always crowded with worshipers. +Just past the temple is the aptly named Ladder Street. +As you get off, the 52-story Jardine House with porthole-shaped windows catches the eye. +Go down one flight of steps to Lascar Row, popularly known as Cat Street, for more antiques and curio shops. +Walk up the steps to reach Caine Lane, where you’ll find the Museum of Medical Sciences (open Tuesday–Saturday 10am–5pm; admission by donation). +The interesting Edwardian building was formerly the Pathological Institute, founded to combat the 19th century’s 30-year-long outbreak of bubonic plague. +The old laboratory is still intact, and there are exhibits on Chinese pharmacology and the history of medicine in Hong Kong. +Just to the east of the financial district, Wan Chai was once an area of sleazy clubs and topless bars; this was the setting for The World of Suzy Wong. +Servicemen relaxing from the rigors of the Vietnam War poured millions of dollars into the Wan Chai boom of the 1960s. +There are restaurants and a Starbuck’s in the basement, and you can access the raised pedestrian crosswalk from the escalators on the ground floor. +There are still bars and clubs here, but the area has become almost mainstream, and office towers are replacing many of the sinful old premises. +The Wan Chai waterfront is dominated by the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the largest in Asia, which includes hotels, theaters, and exhibition halls. +The convention center, an extension on reclaimed land, affords stunning views of the Wan Chai waterfront. +On Wan Chai’s Bowen Road, Maiden’s Rock, also called Lover’s Rock, is the gathering place for the annual Maiden’s festival. +Although it is not a tourist attraction, the rock is steeped in tradition. +About 2 km (a mile) east of Wan Chai, Causeway Bay is second only to Tsim Sha Tsui as Hong Kong’s place to shop. +A prosperous tourist district, it is full of shopping centers and department stores, along with a number of good restaurants. +On the nautical side is the Causeway Bay typhoon shelter, where expensive yachts are anchored almost gunwale to gunwale, and the Hong Kong Yacht Club has its headquarters. +Across Gloucester Road, opposite the World Trade Centre, is the Noonday Gun, which under British rule was sounded on the stroke of midday. +Next to the Jardine building is Exchange Square, a complex with a large shopping mall; just behind it is the General Post Office with a philatelic center on the ground floor. +Silent for a time, the tradition has been revived and is a tourist attraction. +It’s not clear how the custom started. +One story has it that traders Jardine, Matheson & Co fired a private salute for a visiting tycoon, an act that incensed the colonial authorities, who felt that they had the sole right to issue such a 21-gun welcome. +As a result, the merchants were forced to limit their salvoes to one a day — and from then on, they signaled the noon hour daily for all to hear. +The gun was made famous by Noel Coward’s satirical song, “Mad Dogs and Englishmen. ” +Farther east is Hong Kong’s largest park, Victoria Park, with sports grounds and other facilities. +On the eastern side of Victoria Park on Causeway Road is Tin Hau Temple, dedicated to Tin Hau, the Taoist Queen of Heaven and patroness of seafarers. +Originally the temple was on the shore but reclamation projects have now left it high and dry. +Inland from the bay is Happy Valley. +At one time it was a very miserable valley, a swampland conducive only to breeding malarial mosquitoes. +It is home to Hong Kong’s first racetrack. +Hong Kong’s gamblers are so eager to play the horses that, despite the opening of a bigger and better racetrack at Sha Tin, the Happy Valley Racecourse is thriving. +Up Tai Hang Road behind Causeway Bay is Aw Boon Haw (Tiger Balm) Gardens (open daily 9:30am–4pm), founded in 1935 by the late Aw Boon Haw, who became a millionaire by producing the medicinal Tiger Balm. +With its garish pagodas, artificial caves, and brightly painted statues of well-known Taoist and Buddhist legends, the garden is an obvious photo opportunity. +Farther west is the ferry terminal for the outlying islands. +Aberdeen, the island’s oldest settlement, once a pirate lair, is home to the “floating population” — the boat people who spend their entire lives on the junks in the harbor, some proudly claiming never to have set foot on land (except for funerals, which don’t count). +The junks are a picturesque sight: children frolicking on the poop deck, women preparing food or playing mah-jong, elderly folk watching the sunset, dogs and cats underfoot, songbirds in bamboo cages overhead — and all afloat. +The boats may appear deceptively primitive, but many of them have their own electric generators and all the modern conveniences. +There are fewer boats now than in the past; many boat people, especially the younger generation, have moved to housing projects. +You can take a tour of the port in one of the small sampans, propelled by hand by women drivers. +A half-hour tour costs HK$50; pay at the end, or the driver may cut your trip short. +Aberdeen’s theatrical floating restaurants have been a tourist attraction for many years. +The food may not live up to expectations, but the fantasy environment makes up for it. +If you can get up early enough, you can attend the pre-dawn auction held at the vast local wholesale fish market; otherwise, have a look at the street market that goes on later in the day. +The peninsula opposite the east coast of Ap Lei Chau island contains Ocean Park (open daily 10am–6pm; admission HK$150 adults, HK$75 children), which has become one of Hong Kong’s biggest attractions. +It is divided into three areas: a highland, a lowland, and the Middle Kingdom. +Linking the lowland and highland sections of the park, a cable-car system offers spectacular views across to the islands of the South China Sea. +The Oceanarium is said to be the largest in the world, and the Ocean Theatre features displays by dolphins, killer whales, seals, and pelicans. +An enormous roller-coaster rising way above the sea, space wheels, and high-diving shows guarantee a day of excitement. +The Middle Kingdom is a recreated “living” history of China’s past, presented through a number of full-size replicas of shrines, temples, pagodas, palaces, and street scenes. +There are also demonstrations of traditional Chinese crafts, including silk-weaving, pottery, and p apermaking. +Water World, formerly in the complex, has closed for redevelopment. +The next inlet is Repulse Bay, a roomy, sandy crescent, with green hills. +Stanley was once one of the main fishing villages on Hong Kong Island. +The well-known Stanley Mar­ket (see page 55) is a major source for bargain clothing and other merchandise. +Stanley is also a favorite place of residence for ex-pats. +Nearby is Central Market, the wholesale food market of Hong Kong, and the Hang Seng building (private offices). +In many areas, the density reaches the equivalent of 150,000 inhabitants per square km (a quarter square mile). +Most of Kowloon’s attractions for visitors are centered near the tip of the peninsula in the district known as Tsim Sha Tsui. +Adjacent to the Star Ferry terminal is Ocean Terminal, where international cruise ships dock, and the gigantic Harbour City, a complex of malls, hotels, and restaurants. +If you walk east on the Star Ferry terminal concourse, you will find yourself on the wonderful Promenade, which begins at the clock tower, all that remains of the once grand Kowloon-Canton Railway Terminus. +The waterfront here offers unparalled views of the harbor and Hong Kong Island. +If you continue to the end of the promenade, you will be in Tsim Sha Tsui East, a busy commercial district built on more than 60 hectares (150 acres) of reclaimed land. +Flanked by the clock tower is the imposing Hong Kong Cultural Centre. +Hong Kong’s major venue for the performing arts, the building has been criticized for its fortress-like architecture and windowless façade. +Just east of the Star Ferry terminal, you’ll come to City Hall. +The interior is a comfortable amalgam of Chinese and Western design, with an impressive main lobby. +The center contains a concert hall with acclaimed acoustics, theaters, a library, an exhibition gallery, shops, restaurants, and bars. +Next door is the Hong Kong Space Museum and Theatre (open Monday, Wed­nesday–Friday 1–9pm; Sat­ur­day, Sunday 10am–9pm; closed Tuesday; admission HK$10 adults, HK$5 children; separate admission to theater). +No longer a center of government, it now functions as a cultural center. +The theater presents “sky shows” and IMAX films. +The Hong Kong Museum of Art (see page 54) stands behind the Space Museum next to the cultural center. +It contains the Xubaizhi collection of painting and calligraphy; galleries devoted to antiquities and ceramics; and a gallery of modern Chinese art. +Particularly interesting is the collection of paintings and photographs of old Hong Kong. +The museum mounts special exhibitions and has an excellent gift shop. +A few blocks up Chatham Road South are two more major museums. +The Scien­ce Mus­eum (see page 55) is a state-of-the-art interactive museum that will teach you how everything and anything works from ancient sailing ships to the latest technology. +Go through the underground walkway to Statue Square; on the east side of the square is the Legislative Council Building, one of the few colonial buildings left in Hong Kong. +The fascinating collection of artifacts pertaining showcases 6,000 years of Hong Kong’s history and Chinese culture. +Just across Salisbury Road from the cultural center is the historic Peninsula Hotel, now expanded and modernized by a 32-story tower. +Its restored lobby is Hong Kong’s most elegant gathering place; afternoon tea here is a visitors’ ritual. +Alongside the hotel runs busy Nathan Road, Hong Kong’s fabled shopping street, lined with shops, hotels, and restaurants. +Kowloon’s main street was created by Sir Matthew Nathan when he was governor of Hong Kong at the turn of the 19th century. +At the time it was built, many thought it absurd to have a tree-lined boulevard running through what was practically a wilderness. +Now the former “Nathan’s Folly” is known as the “Golden Mile. ” +A few blocks up Nathan Road is Kowloon Park (open daily 6am–midnight), elegantly laid out with fountains, promenades, and ornamental gardens; be sure to go up the steps to see the Sculpture Walk. +Farther up Nathan Street you will reach Yau Ma Tei, one of the older parts of Kowloon. +Turn off Nathan and walk down Kansu Street to find the Jade Market (open 10am–3pm; see page 80), with more than 100 stalls spread out in a large tent, just before you reach the overpass. +Hong Kong’s liveliest market scene is the Temple Street Night Market (see page 55), near Jordan Road. +Everything is sold here, from clothing to souvenirs to electronic goods, and the market is known for its street-side food stalls, where you can dine inexpensively on seafood. +So great is the pressure on the available land that most of Hong Kong’s colonial architectural heritage has been demolished and replaced by new skyscrapers. +The market runs all the way up to Tin Hau Temple, where you will find fortune tellers’ tables (some speak English) and possibly street performers singing Chinese opera or pop songs. +The temple is one of the many dedicated to Tin Hau, goddess of seafarers; this one also houses an altar to Shing Wong, the city’s god. +In the daytime the temple (open 8am–6pm) attracts worshipers, and its park attracts strollers and mah-jong players. +Nathan Road goes all the way up to Boundary Street, which marks the boundary between Kowloon and the New Territories. +Near Boundary Street, off Prince Edward Street West, is the Yuen Po Street Bird Garden (open 8am–7pm). +Off the beaten path in Sham Shui Po, west of the junction of Nathan Road and Boundary Street, is the Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb and Museum on Tonkin Road (open Monday–Wednesday and Friday–Saturday 10am–6pm, Sunday 1–6pm; closed Thursday). +This ancient burial vault is believed to date back to the Han Dynasty (a.d. 25–220). +The barrel-vaulted chambers were discovered while excavating for a nearby housing project. +Hong Kong’s New Territories begin at Boundary Street. +Surprises spring up on all sides: new industrial complexes alongside sleepy farming villages, skyscraper towns blooming in the middle of nowhere, Hakka women in their traditional flat straw hats with hanging black curtains, water buffalo, and flashes of azalea everywhere. +Despite protests by preservationists, there was little alternative. +The New Territories can be explored by taking the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR), which makes 10 stops between the station in Kowloon and Sheung Shui, the last stop before entering China. +Ask the tourist authority about its interesting Heritage Tour from Kowloon and other countryside tours (see page 113). +The main highway makes a circuit of the New Territories, beginning with the new town of Tsuen Wan, situated in an area of heavy industry just west of Kowloon. +North of the town, a commanding view over all the New Territories to the north can be seen from Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong’s highest peak at 957 m (3,140 ft). +The highway continues parallel to the coast. +Nearby is Chater Garden and a number of notable architectural landmarks. +One-third of all Hong Kong’s beaches are to be found in a single 14-km (9-mile) stretch of this region’s shoreline. +Place names are often based on the distance to the nearest mile-post, as measured from the tip of the Kowloon peninsula. +Thus you will find “191/2-mile Beach” at Castle Peak Bay. +The main road continues clockwise around the New Territories. +As you approach the border, you can glimpse the skyscrapers of Shenzhen. +Most famous is the striking 74-story I.M. Pei Bank of China Tower, not beloved by the people of Hong Kong — its triangular prisms and sharp angles violate the principles of feng shui (see box, page 68) and its radio masts stick up like an insect’s antennae. +Set amid Tseun Wan’s residential towers is the 18th-century walled village of Sam Tung Uk, now preserved as a museum, and a short walk from the MTR station. +Not far away, at milepost 21 near the large new town of Tuen Mun, is a Taoist retreat known as Ching Chung Koon. +This “Temple of Green Pines” is a spacious complex containing temples and pavilions, statues, and gardens. +It is known for its collection of bonsai and houses a jade seal more than 1,000 years old. +Among the ponds is one inhabited by turtles: Visitors toss in coins in the hope of bouncing one off a turtle’s head, a sure way of achieving good fortune. +An even more interesting image out of Chinese history is the walled village of Kat Hing Wai, in the village of Kam Tin just outside the market town of Yuen Long. +This is the most easily accessible of the New Territories’ walled villages. +It is built in a square, and the only way in is through the gate in the brick defensive wall. +Kat Hing Wai was built four or five centuries ago by the Hakka Tang clan, one of the Five Great Clans that migrated here from North China (see page 11). +Many of the old houses in the village have been replaced by modern structures. +The Tang clan’s earliest walled village was Lo Wai, which also has its defensive wall intact and is entered by a narrow gate. +Few traditional ancestral halls remain in China since the anti-historical destruction during the Cultural Revolution, so these New Territories ancestral halls are rare survivors. +Another such hall, belonging to the Liu Clan, is Liu Man Shek Tong in the village of Sheung Shui. +One of the most interesting sites in the New Territories is Tai Fu Tai, another rare survivor, this one a mansion that belonged to a Confucian high official. +The house was built in 1865 by a member of the Man clan who achieved the rank of tai fu (mandarin) by doing well in the Imperial Exam­inations. +The preservation of this wonderful home is ongoing; a projected restoration of the original garden is still in progress. +The traditional Qing Dyna­sty style of the mansion is enlivened by a few West­ern touches: a Baroque-style ceiling and stained glass above the doorways, showing the builder’s up-to-date attitude at the time of construction. +The highway and the railway stay close together from Fanling, site of the best golf courses in the area. +Tai Po, just south of Fanling, is known for its market, Tai Po Market, which buzzes with activity daily from 7am to 6pm. +Just up a lane from the market is the Man Mo Temple, with long-burning incense coils hanging from its ceiling, a popular spot dedicated to the Taoist gods of war and literature. +The rival Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank is by architect Norman Foster; built on a “coathanger frame,” its floors hang rather than ascend. +The railway line then curves gracefully around Tolo Harbor, an idyllic body of water well-protected from the open sea. +You can take a ferryboat through the harbor, past the ingenious Plover Cove reservoir, a water catchment area appropriated by damming and draining a broad inlet from the sea. +The boats go on to the friendly fishermen’s island of Tap Mun, in Mirs Bay, with stops in remote hamlets of the Sai Kung Peninsula. +The Sai Kung area is the location of two official parks and nature preserves, while on the south side of the peninsula are some of the territory’s best beaches. +Teaching here is conducted in both Chinese and English. +The Art Gallery in the Institute of Chinese Studies Building is worth a visit for its painting and calligraphy collections. +Sha Tin is the site of the Monastery of 10,000 Buddhas, which looks down on a burgeoning town. +There are hundreds of stone steps in the hillside to walk up before you reach Man Fat Temple with its regiments of small gilt statues of Buddha lining the walls. +Some indefatigable climbers will want to go up to the top of the nine-story pink pagoda for a panoramic view. +From inside the vast atrium you can view the whole structure as well as the mechanical workings of the building. +Also here is the Hongkong Heritage Museum (call Tel. 2180 8188 for open hours). +The museum has an art collection, and displays of toys and other artifacts. +Down to earth, the Sha Tin Racecourse can accommodate over 80,000 spectators and is equipped with every imaginable luxury, including a giant video screen facing the stands, and for the horses, air-conditioned stables. +Opposite the Sha Tin railway station, New Town Plaza features shops, cinemas, and even a computer-controlled musical fountain. +Two natural rock formations are always pointed out on excursions. +Legend has it that a local woman climbed the hill every day to watch for her husband returning from across the sea; one day the wife and her child were turned to stone as a permanent symbol of her enduring faith. +Two bronze lions, carrying out feng shui principles, guard its doors. +It really looks the part; the tourists know its name even before the guide can translate it. +Excursion companies sell a variety of orientation cruises of Hong Kong harbor that include a look at some of its 235 outlying islands. +You can catch one of Hong Kong’s historic trams along Des Voeux Road and ride from Central to Causeway Bay (see box, page 66). +The mountainous island of Lantau is the biggest in the colony, and covers nearly twice the area of Hong Kong Island. +Chek Lap Kok airport sits on reclaimed land just off Lantau; plans to build a bridge may change Lantau, but at present it is sparsely populated and makes a perfect getaway. +At 934 m (3,064 ft), Lantau Peak is high enough to attract the occasional rain cloud — refreshingly cool breezes blow on most hot summer days. +More than half the island is parkland, and there is a 70-km (45-mile) circular hiking trail (see page 92). +Ferries depart from Central every two hours between 6:10am and 10:30pm to Silvermine Bay (Mui Wo), where a bus terminal has buses to all parts of the island. +There are also ferries to Discovery Bay. +A short bus ride away is Cheung Sha Beach, 3 km (2 miles) long, and popular for its white sand and excellent facilities. +The most famous site on the island is the world’s tallest seated bronze statue of Buddha at 22 m (72.6 ft), the Tiantan Buddha (see page 55). +The statue and a small museum are on a peak, up 268 steps, above Po Lin Monastery. +The monastery is strictly vegetarian, and visitors are warned not to bring any meat with them. +You can have a delicious vegetarian lunch here. +In 1904, the narrow, double-decker trams ran along the waterfront, but land reclamation has placed them far inland. +From the monastery, hikers enjoy the two-hour cross-country trek down to Silvermine Bay, but the authorities have warned walkers to be on the lookout for snakes, which can be plentiful in the Lantau hinterland, especially in summer. +The hillsides that surround the monastery are the site of Hong Kong’s only tea plantation. +Visitors are welcome to visit the 24-hectare (60-acre) establishment, and may sample the end product, Lantau tea. +The island’s largest community is Tai O. The people of this picturesque village make their living by fishing, duck-breeding, and food-processing. +A Trappist monastery, situated on a hillside overlooking the east coast of Lantau, is also open to visitors. +Some 10 km (6 miles) west of Hong Kong lies this small, crowded island, only one square mile in size. +More than 25,000 people live here, mostly by fishing, but there are also ex-pats, attracted by its laid-back Mediterranean ambience. +From the Bank of China Tower, make a short detour up Garden Road and turn into Battery Path to reach the landmark St. John’s Cathe­dral. +The island has a checkered past of smuggling and pira cy. +The people still carve jade and build seaworthy junks, all by hand. +Fish (heads discreetly wrapped in paper) are still hung out to dry in the sun. +Cheung Chau becomes the center of Hong Kong life once a year, usually in May, during the Bun Festival, a folklore extravaganza (see page 89). +The rest of the year, life goes on at its accustomed pace: rickety machines chugging in two-man factories, children in school uniforms being ferried home to houseboats, and the old fishermen stirring shrimp paste. +By way of formal tourist attractions, Pak Tai Temple, built in 1783, has some fine carvings and a great iron sword said to be 600 years old. +But the most interesting thing to do here is to explore the two villages on the island, Cheung Chau and San Wai. +They are an easy walk apart by the harbor road, or a longer 45-minute hike on the scenic Peak Road. +The Praya, the promenade in front of the ferry pier, is a good place to observe the many junks and fishing boats in the harbor. +There are also several open-air restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood. +Only 35 minutes by ferry from Central, Lamma Island is perfect for swimming, hiking, picnicking, birdwatching, or just sitting back to watch the bananas grow. +Built 1847–1849, this usually deserted Anglican foundation is Hong Kong’s oldest church. +Hong Kong’s third largest island has a population of only about 12,000; it is still largely undeveloped, and life on Lamma, if not totally primitive, is close to the essentials. +Archaeologists indicate that Lamma has probably been inhabited for some 4,000 years, and the island is known as “Hong Kong’s Stone Age Island. ” +The principal settlements are Yung Shue Wan on Lamma’s northwest, and Sok Kwu Wan, on the east coast. +Both villages offer good waterfront restaurants with homestyle Chinese food, principally seafood fresh from the tank. +The ports are within hiking distance of several beautiful beaches, and within a one-hour hike of each other on a marked trail. +You can build an appetite for dinner by making your way from the beach to the restaurant. +Yung Shue Wan is still a very British residential enclave, with many nice pubs. +During World War II, the church was turned into a club for Japanese officers; it was restored after the war. +Macau, the final bastion of Portugal’s great 16th-century empire, is much more than just a quirk of history. +Here, where East and West first met, life combines the spirit of Asia with something of the sunny atmosphere of the Mediterranean. +Macau’s historic center, with its colonial architecture, has a distinctly Medit­er­ranean flavor. +No matter how many tunnels and transit systems speed cross-harbor traffic, nothing matches the ride on the Star Ferry from Kowloon to the Central District across Victoria Harbor. +Col­­o­n­na­­ded public buildings, iron balconies, winding streets, flagstoned squares and the many churches all speak of the Portuguese inheritance as well as the Chinese, a fusion of East and West that has produced the unique Macanese culture. +The story of the Western discovery of Macau begins in 1513 when Portuguese explorer, Jorge Alvares, reached the south coast of China. +Traders followed in his wake, setting up bases in several parts of the Pearl River estuary. +Finally, in 1557, they were all consolidated in Macau. +It was the only European gateway to China, and through Macau flowed Western technology and religion. +In 1576 Pope Gregory XIII created the Macau diocese, covering all of China and Japan. +Note the stained glass windows in the Quiet Chapel, designed by Joseph Edward Nuttgens in the late 1950s. +No less impressive were the secular challenges. +China and Japan were not on speaking terms, so trade between them had to be channeled through a neutral middleman. +Lucky Macau fit the specifications exactly. +The Dutch sent an invasion flotilla to Macau in 1622, but the defenders triumphed. +However, the end of the golden age was drawing near. +A haven for persecuted Japanese Christians in the 17th century, Portugal’s neutrality during World War II assured the territory a flood of refugees. +They were joined by a swarm of spies of all conceivable nationalities, and Macau won a name for international intrigue. +Portugal’s very precarious foothold on the Asian coast ended in 1999 with a formal handover to China. +Macau, now the Chinese Special Economic Zone of Zhuhai, is becoming something like a boomtown as an exporter of toys, furniture, and electronics. +Macau’s population is estimated at around 450,000, an appallingly high figure for such a small area; recent land reclamation has eased the situation to some extent. +If a trace of tropical lethargy still adds to the charm in this city of sidewalk cafés, palm trees, and pedicabs, any torpor definitely ends once inside the doors of Macau’s casinos, scene of some of the liveliest gambling west of Las Vegas. +Gambling provides almost 40 percent of the government’s tax revenues, and is a major source of employment. +Its spin-off industries, prostitution and pawn shops, also thrive. +The easiest way to get to Macau is by jetfoil, operated by TurboJet (Tel. 2859-3333). +The 40-mile trip takes about an hour. +Across from the I.M. Pei tower a winding path leads up to Hong Kong Park. +Departures are from the Macau Ferry Terminal, just west of Central in the Shun Tak Centre, 200 Connaught Road, Central, in Hong Kong. +Macau’s own currency, the pataca, is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar, and you can use your Hong Kong currency freely in Macau. +Outside the terminal, you will find taxis as well as buses to all points (take 3, 3A, 10, or 10A to the historic center; exact change is required). +You’ll also be approached by pedicab drivers; these are tricycles carrying two passengers. +The park’s 10.5 hectares (25 acres) of landscaped gardens and lakes contains a large greenhouse that holds many species of plants, and an aviary of exotic birds. +Pedicabs were once the most common form of transportation in Macau, but today they are mainly a tourist attraction. +Directly across the street from the wharf where passengers arrive from Hong Kong is the first surprise to greet visitors to Macau — the vast Jai-alai Palace, said to be the world’s most luxurious frontón. +In an effort to provide yet one more thing to bet on, players are imported from Spain to take part in this lightning-fast Basque ball game. +The grandstand situated on the seaside road, the Avenida da Amizade (Friendship Avenue), marks the finishing line for the Macau Grand Prix, the international car-racing event held here every November. +Also in front of the ferry terminal is a new Cyber fountain, with 86 water spouts that shoot up to 70 m (230 ft) and are illuminated at night by 288 spotlights producing 80 colors. +Continuing around the peninsula in a clockwise direction brings you to the Rua da Praia Grande (Big Beach Street) — a pleasant promenade with shaded benches under the banyan trees. +Along this elegant avenue is Government House, a modest pink palace. +The central square of the historic city center is Largo do Senado. +For an authentic feel of old Portugal, slip into the cool entrance hall of theimpressive Leal Senado (“Loyal Senate” building), a fine example of colonial architecture. +On the inside walls are flowered blue tiles (azulejos) and coats of arms. +The inscription over the archway reads, “Cidade do nome de Deus, não ha outra mais leal” (“City of the Name of God, None is More Loyal”) — a bit of praise attributed to Portugal’s King John IV in the 17th century. +In the park is the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware (see page 54). +For all its historic grandeur, the loyal Senate now is the equivalent of a city council, its statesmanship dedicated to water supplies, sewage lines, and the establishment of playgrounds. +Macau’s most memorable monument is the Baroque façade of the ruins of São Paulo, the only remains of a beautiful 17th-century Jesuit church. +The rest of the building and an adjoining college were destroyed in a typhoon-fanned fire in 1835. +The rich sculptural effects on the façade mix Eastern and Western symbols: familiar saints, Chinese dragons, and a Portuguese caravel. +It’s in Hong Kong’s oldest colonial building, with exhibits describing the history of tea from the Warring States period (475–221 b.c. ) to the present. +Beneath the church, the Museum of Sacred Art houses a collection of sacramental objects. +The ambitious Museum of Macau (open Tuesday–Sunday 10am–6pm; admission HK$15) opened in 1998 in the lower levels of the Monte Fortress. +Entrance is by escalator, near St. Paul’s. +It gives an overview of Macau’s history and its daily life and traditions. +A re-created street of colonial Macau is lined with traditional Chinese shops. +Local legend claims that he wrote part of his great saga, Os Lusíadas, in what is now called the Camões Grotto, situated in the spacious tropical Camões Garden. +Next to the museum, behind a gate (opened to anyone who knocks), is the Old Protestant Cemetery. +Those whose fate was to die on some far foreign field could not have wanted a more peaceful, lovely graveyard. +The small, whitewashed chapelwas the first Protestant church built in China. +For a different vision of Old China, spend a few quiet moments in the classic Lou Lim Ieoc Garden. +Here, arched bridges, pagodas, fish ponds, and stands of bamboo create the mood of a timeless Chinese painting. +Nearby is the Memorial House of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Chinese Republic. +If you leave the park and walk up Cotton Tree Drive, you will find the Peak Tram terminal. +Photos and documents tell the life story of the physician-revolutionary-statesman, who lived for a time in Macau, but never in this building. +Kun Iam Tong, off Avenida do Coronel Mesquita (open daily 8am–6pm), is a 17th-century Buddhist temple of considerable splendor and charm. +An unexpected piece of historical memorabilia turns up in the monastery garden, where guides point out a small stone table used for a treaty-signing ceremony in 1844. +The signatories, who were the Chinese viceroy from Canton and the minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, put their names to a historic document — the first-ever treaty between the two countries. +T he crowded Kowloon peninsula and the booming New Territories on the mainland call for some serious sightseeing; but we begin across Victoria Harbor on Hong Kong Island, where the city was first founded and which remains the center of government, business, and commerce. +Nearby is the Macau Cultural Center and the Museum of Art (open Tuesday–Sunday 10am–7pm; closed Monday; small admission). +For more than a century, the most exhilarating way up Victoria Peak has been by funicular. +Macau’s oldest museum, the Maritime Museum (Wednesday–Monday 10am–5:30pm; admission HK$10, HK$5 children over 10) traces the history of Macau’s connection to the sea. +Exhibits cover fishing, seaborne trade, sea transport, and there is an aquarium. +The museum also offers boat tours aboard a fishing junk. +The museum is almost on the spot where the Portuguese first landed. +When they came ashore they found the A-Ma Temple (properly called Ma Kok Temple; open daily dawn to dusk), dedicated to the favorite goddess of fishermen, who is also known as Tin Hau. +The area was called A-Ma Gau (“Bay of A-Ma”), and in this way, Macau got its name. +The remains of the 17th-century Barra Fortress, which once defended the southern tip of the peninsula, contains the chapel of Santiago (St. James). +The Peak Tram starts its scenic climb just across the street and around the corner from the American Consulate in Garden Road and makes its way, sometimes at a startlingly steep incline, to the summit at 398 m (1,305 ft). +The saint is much revered in the surrounding area. +Among other legends surrounding the statue is a very modern one: During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, when Red Guards were running rampant on Wanchai island, just a swim away, the image of St. James is said to have stepped down from the altar and halted an invasion. +Part of the fortress has been converted and is now used as a luxury inn. +The northernmost point in Macau is the frontier between two contrasting worlds. +The Barrier Gate (Portas do Cerco), which was built more than a century ago, marks the boundary between the enclave of Macau and the People’s Republic of China. +Macau’s casinos are a source of non-stop excitement. +The fancifully decorated Macau Palace, a floating casino moored on the western waterfront, is fitted out with gambling tables, slot machines (known locally as “hungry tigers”) and, for hungry humans, a restaurant. +Gambling is wildly popular with the Chinese of Hong Kong, and they make up nearly 80 percent of all visitors to the casinos. +The casinos offer familiar international games — baccarat, blackjack, boule, craps, roulette — along with more exotic Chinese pastimes. +Watch the fantan dealer for a few minutes and you’ll almost be an expert: It’s simply a matter of how many odd buttons are left after he has divided a pile of them into groups of four. +Dai-Siu (Big and Small) is a dice game in which the croupier throws three dice inside a glass container. +Players bet on the numbers that will come up, and on whether the result will be “big” or “small. ” +Keno is a variation of bingo in which the player chooses numbers to bet on before the draw is made. +The casinos have no admission charge and formal dress is optional, though long pants for men are required. +They keep busy 24 hours a day, but if you want a change of scene there are always more gambling opportunities available. +The right-of-way travels past fancy apartment blocks, bamboo stands, and jungle flowers. +You can try your luck at pari mutuel betting on jai-alai at pari mutuel, greyhound-racing at the Cani­drome (one of the largest in the world), and harness-racing on Taipa. +Like Hong Kong, Macau is a duty-free port. +It is famous for its gold jewelry. +Market prices per tael (34 grams/1. +2 ounces) of gold are set daily. +You should always ask for a certificate of guarantee when you buy gold or jewelry. +Browsing is a real pleasure in Macau’s main streets and byways, where shops aimed at the tourist market are interspersed with the more workaday ironmongers, herbalists, and noodle stalls. +Knowle­dgeable visitors look for antiques — either Chinese heirlooms or leftovers from the gracious Portuguese colonial days. +However, you are not likely to find bargains, and you should be aware that unless you are an expert, you can end up with a fake. +Also worth investigating are contemporary handicrafts, both Portuguese and Chinese, from across the border. +Gourmets award Macau high marks for dependable Chinese cooking with an exotic bonus: Portuguese food and wines. +Macau’s own cuisine is a combination of Chinese flavors with the flavors imported from Portugal, Brazil, and Africa. +Whether you choose to dine in one of the Macanese, Chinese, traditional Portuguese, or international-style restaurants, you will be treated to a hearty meal at a good price. +The Peak is still the most fashionable place to live in Hong Kong, but real estate prices here are astronomical; rents run around HK$50,000 a month. +The ingredients, especially the fresh fish and seafood, are first-rate. +A delicate, delicious fish is Macau sole (linguado). +Imported dried cod (bacalhao) is the Portuguese national dish; several varieties are available, usually baked. +Macau has an ample supply of Portuguese wines. +Try a vinho verde, a mildly sparkling young wine from northern Portugal, or a hearty red Dão or Colares. +After dinner, a glass of Madeira or port is recommended to round off the meal. +The more abstemious can stick to Portuguese mineral water. +Bridges link Macau with its two islands. +Since the construction of the New Macau-Taipa Bridge has allowed easy access to the airport, the population has grown to more than 30,000, with industrial development, new apartment blocks, and luxury resort hotels. +The quaint Taipa Village, with its narrow lanes and colonial buildings painted yellow, blue, and green, has almost been completely swallowed up by the development of nearby housing projects. +The island is also the designated home of the University of East Asia. +Pay a visit to the Casa Museu da Taipa, and you’ll be able to get a glimpse of how Macanese families lived in former days. +A grand colonial house, fully restored and outfitted with period furnishings, provides the centerpiece for this expanding “cultural village. ” +Not as developed as Taipa, it offers the joys of sand and sea and is known for its beaches. +Cheoc Van and Hac Sa (“Black Sands”) are both popular resort areas, with lifeguards on duty in summer and windsurfing boards for rent. +The Peak Tram, originally steam-powered, was built to speed the wealthy taipans to their mountainside retreats. +There are restaurants, swimming pools, and changing facilities. +The village of Coloane is picturesque, with a central square lined with cafés. +The small Chapel of St. Francis Xavier is dedicated to the 16th-century patron saint of missionaries, and has on display the elbow of the saint, along with the bones of numerous Japanese and Vietnamese martyrs. +Seac Pai Van Park, on the west coast of the island is an interesting natural preserve with aNatural History Museum. +Guangzhou was China’s major seaport for 2,000 years and the center for European traders in the 19th century. +Ever since 1957 the Canton Trade Fair (officially the Chinese Export Commodities Fair) has attracted throngs of international business people every spring and autumn. +Guangzhou, with a population of more than 5 million, straddles the Pearl River — China’s fifth longest — which links the city to the South China Sea. +Before the tram was built, sedan chairs and rickshaws were the only way to get here. +This waterway accounts for much of the local charm and excitement, as the daily drama of the ferryboats, junks, sampans, freighters — and even small tankers and big gunboats — unfolds right in the center of town. +Guangdong Province has some of China’s most fertile land, and grows two crops of rice a year, along with vegetables of all kinds. +Guangzhou today is mostly about business and industry, featuring new development, skyscrapers, a whole new business area, and raised expressways. +Since the tram’s inauguration in 1888 it has stopped only for typhoons and World War II. +Guangzhou is interestingly one of China’s most prosperous cities, determinedly on the move into the modern world. +It seems that the picturesque older sections with their old houses, narrow streets, and winding alleyways may not be around much longer. +There are many package tours to Guangzhou from Hong Kong (see page 113), and this may be the easiest way to visit the city. +However, it’s also easy to get to Guangzhou by train or ferry. +Four comfortable express trains depart the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) Station in Hung Hom, Kowloon, making the trip in less than two hours. +Turbo Cat ferries leave the China Hong Kong City (CHKC) terminal twice a day; the journey takes two hours. +As the double-decker boats get ready to leave the pier, bells ring, the gangplank is raised, deckhands in blue sailor suits man the hawsers, and a couple of hundred commuters begin a seven-minute sightseeing tour. +Citibus also travels to Guangzhou from CHKC; there are five round-trips a day, taking 31/2 hours. +You will need a visa to enter China (see page 109 for information). +Hong Kong currency is widely accepted in Guangzhou, or you can change your currency into RMB (yuan) at any bank or hotel. +The modern 120-passenger cars make the journey in around eight minutes. +English is spoken in hotels and tourist destinations. +If you travel by train, you will arrive at the Guangzhou East Station, a large modern complex, which connects with the subway, buses, hotel transfer services, and taxis. +The train station is in the newer business district; nearby is Asia’s third-tallest building, at 83 stories, which will often be pointed out to you. +Sights in Guangzhou +However, on sunny Saturdays and Sundays you may have to brave a crowd lining up at the lower terminal. +The park is landscaped with lakes and gardens. +In the park is the 1380 Zhenhai Tower, one of the city’s oldest buildings. +Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Memorial Hall honors the founder of the Chinese Revolution, flanked by his heroic statue in copper. +Dr. Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925) began his political career in Canton. +This enormous, modern version of a traditional Chinese building, with sweeping blue tile roofs, contains an auditorium big enough to seat 4,700 people. +It was built in 1931 with contributions from overseas Chinese. +The center of the park is the Five Rams Statue. +It celebrates the founding of Guangzhou, when five spirits rode their goats down from the celestial realm to present the inhabitants of the city with their very first grains of rice. +Guangzhou’s most important Buddhist monument is the 1,400-year-old Temple of the Six Banyan Trees (open 8am–5pm). +During the spring and autumn festivals, when people traditionally seek out the hilltops, the throngs are so large you would be better advised to try another time. +Although the banyan trees that once flourished here are now no more, the often-restored complex has remained a focus of local Buddhist activities. +Golden Buddha statues in several of Buddha’s aspects adorn the temples, and overlooking them is the 17-story Flower Pagoda, a slender relic of the Song dynasty (a.d. 960–1279). +In the early Middle Ages, Canton had a significant Muslim population as a result of its trade with the Middle East. +This explains the presence in Guangzhou of the Huaisheng Mosque, reputed to be China’s oldest, and traditionally dated a.d. 627. +Rebuilt in modern times, the mosque serves the small local community of Muslims. +The modern minaret is known as the “Plain (or Naked) Pagoda,” in contrast to the Flower Pagoda of the Buddhist temple. +Chen Jia Ci, the Chen Family Institute (open daily 8:30am–5pm), was built in the late 19th century to promote arts and crafts. +Porcelain friezes adorn the rooftops and ridgepoles, telling the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. +Inside is a collection of ceramics, carvings, and furniture. +There is also a market and a porcelain shop. +Mao Zedong himself directed the institute in 1926, and gave lectures on geography, rural education, and “The Problem of the Chinese Peasantry. ” +Zhou Enlai also taught here. +The atmosphere of 19th-century Canton is best evoked on Shamian Island, a haunting, nostalgic place in the Pearl River. +This small formerly residential island, beautifully shaded by banyan trees, was the home of the closed community of the foreign colony in the era of “concessions. ” +The bridges were barred by night with iron gates to keep the Chinese out. +Its stately European-style buildings have since been restored, largely for use as government offices and foreign legations. +The island also has Guangzhou’s first modern luxury resort hotel. +A popular optional excursion is an hour’s detour to Guangzhou Zoo, founded in 1958. +It houses more than 200 animal species, most famous of which is the giant panda, and has an imaginative monkey mountain behind a moat. +Not to be missed is a visit to Guangzhou’s famous open-air market, Qing Ping. +Guangzhou is famous for its food. +The Cantonese love to eat and have the reputation of eating almost anything that walks on four legs. +The market bears this out: Along with the usual ducks and chickens, you will see for sale snakes, dogs, bats, and sometimes monkeys — all are highly prized as delicacies. +More pleasantly, you can browse among lanes of antiques, flowers, herbs, fruit, goldfish, songbirds, and more. +A very popular day-trip from Guangzhou goes to Foshan, a city of nearly 300,000 people, renowned for its handicrafts for more than a thousand years. +The individual artisans’ shops are no longer here, but you can visit a silk-weaving factory, a ceramics plant, and the Foshan Folk Art Studio, where you can observe workers making Chinese lanterns, carving sculptures, painting scrolls, and cutting intricate designs in paper. +Foshan’s most outstanding artistic monument is Zu Miao, the Taoist Ancestral Temple, a Sung dynasty establishment rebuilt in the 14th century and well worth visiting. +You can walk around the peak for impressive views of Hong Kong, the coastline, and the islands in 45 minutes on Lugard and Harlech roads. +The complex contains the oldest wooden stage in China, used by the Wan Fu Tai Chinese opera. +Shenzhen was China’s first Special Economic Zone. +Literally created out of rural farmland, it was set up in the 1970s as the answer to Hong Kong. +From a population of 20,000 it has grown into a metropolis of 2.5 million, with tightly clustered skyscrapers and some of China’s highest grossing industries. +Because Shenzhen is much cheaper than Hong Kong, it is a popular weekend destination for Hong Kong’s Chinese, who come to relax, dine in its resorts, and play golf — Shenzhen hosted the World Cup of Golf in 1995. +It is even becoming something of a commuter town — owning or renting an apartment here costs a fraction of what it would in Hong Kong. +Shenzhen is easy to reach — the KCR commuter train runs throughout the day, the trip taking about 40 minutes. +Visitors need a visa to enter China, and must disembark at the border (now called “boundary”) checkpoint, Lo Wai. +A Turbo Cat ferry makes a one-hour trip (7am–7pm) from Hong Kong’s Macau Ferry Terminal to Shekou on the Natau Peninsula, which is part of the economic zone. +Shenzhen is a premier shopping center, and much cheaper than Hong Kong. +It is known for its inexpensive (but well-made) knock-off designer goods. +The view is especially effective at night. +You can use your Hong Kong dollars here, so there’s no need to change currency. +Some places take credit cards, but cash is better for bargaining. +Shenzhen’s main tourist attractions are its enormous theme parks. +There are also souvenir stands, benches for a rest, and perhaps Hong Kong’s last surviving rickshaws — however these are not for rides, but are a tourist photo opportunity. +It contains elaborate replicas of China’s chief monuments in impressive detail, including a scaled-down version of the Great Wall. +The 24 China Folk Culture Villages represent China’s ethnic variety; they feature craftspeople in traditional costumes along with folksong and dance performances. +In Shekou is a large Free Market, and an exhibition of Xian’s terra-cotta warriors. +If you’re up to a climb, take the Mount Austin road to the Victoria Peak Gardens. +These gardens used to belong to the governor’s mountain lodge, but the building was demolished by the Japanese during the occupation of Hong Kong. +From the lower terminal of the Peak Tram it’s only a short walk to the former governor’s residence, Government House, now a museum. +Across from the mansion, the Zoological and Botanical Gardens (gardens open daily 6am–10pm; zoo 6am–7pm; admission free) provide a welcome oasis amid the big-city pressures. +In the very early morning the park is taken over by people doing tai-chi exercises. +Both young and old go through ballet-like movements in slow motion to discipline the mind and body. +The park’s zoo has a collection of weird and wonderful chattering jungle birds. +The Western District is one of Hong Kong’s oldest neighborhoods, and its narrow streets hold a collection of fascinating traditional shops and enterprises. +It is more interesting for its architecture than for its shopping; it’s situated in a four-story Edwardian building built in 1906. +For an interesting glimpse of small and family-owned shops, walk along Bonham Strand East and West, Man Wa Lane, and Cleverly Street. +The big green-and-white boat weaves its way through an ever-changing obstacle course of both large and small craft, and the soaring skyline of Hong Kong Island draws nearer. +You’ll find herb and medicine shops, incense shops, chop makers’ shops (makers of Chinese seals), and more. +Hong Kong University’s campus is spread along Bonham Road. +When it opened in 1912, the university had a total of 72 students. +The University’s Fung Ping Shan Museum, 94 Bonham Road (open Monday–Saturday 9:30am–6pm, admission free) holds a significant collection of antiquities: bronzes, dating from 3000 b.c. , and ceramics, including Han Dynasty tomb pottery. +It also has the world’s largest collection of Nestorian crosses from the Yuan Dynasty period. +Take the Mid-Levels Escalator to Hollywood road, known for its antiques and curio shopping. +Here the windows and open doors of the shops reveal an alluring selection of Asian furniture, carpets, carvings, tomb figures, porcelain, and bronze. +Walk west along Hollywood Road until you come to Man Mo Temple, the island’s oldest house of worship (though the date of its founding is subject to dispute). +The gold-plated sedan chairs on the left-hand side of the temple were once used for transporting the statues of the temple’s gods in religious processions. +Contributions to the Annual Fund help us to prepare our master’s students with a thorough knowledge of their discipline, as well as the needed skills for success in the workplace. +They enable us to provide students with access to state-of-the-art technology and opportunities to attend professional colloquia, seminars, and conferences on and off campus. +Your support of the Graduate School’s Annual Fund is critical to maintaining the core values of GSAS: rigorous inquiry, the lifelong discovery of ideas, and our commitment to the ethics of scholarship. +We also hope you have been able to follow the public education campaign for our master’s programs in The New York Times and elsewhere, a sign of our belief in them. +Your gift reinforces our emphasis on these ideals that have distinguished the Graduate School of Arts and Science as a preeminent center for advanced learning since 1886. +I am grateful for your continued partnership in our pursuit of these shared values. +With best wishes, +Catharine R. Stimpson Dean +GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCE +Fall 2000 +Ms. FirstName LastName NumberStreetName Statename, StateZipCode +NEW YORK UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCE OFFICE OF THE DEAN +Dear Ms. LastName +Over the past year, the Graduate School of Arts and Science has seen record level contributions from its alumni and alumnae to the School’s Annual Fund. +As you read the enclosed Dean 's Report and Request, I hope you will consider how your support of the Graduate School’s Annual Fund shapes the lives of its faculty and students as it makes an impact on the depth and breadth of their NYU experience. +However, it reflects on a greater level both the desire of many Mayans to assimilate, as they still feel that is necessary for social mobility, and a belief among the general population that Mayans do not require a separate bill of rights as they are covered under the general rights already in the constitution (Warren 2002: 159, 172). +Illiteracy rates are in fact correlated with the Mayan language itself: those who speak Spanish are more likely to be literate than those who speak Mayan alone (England 2003: 733). +Therefore when considering the indigenous revitalization movements which began in 20th century Latin America, the impact of those indigenous languages on those movements and the nature of the identity of the peoples themselves is key. +Nonetheless, in 2003 the legislature passed the law of national languages, which while reaffirming Spanish as the official language, recognizes the importance of indigenous languages as part of national identity and encourages their active promotion. +This question of identity as defined by language manifests differently in Guatemala and Colombia. +Within the pan-Mayan movement, there remains a desire to maintain linguistic diversity: some view the reduction of their language to the status of "dialect" devalues their unique identity and place in the Mayan world; however, despite differences over standardization, the pan-Mayan movement itself is largely cohesive. +In contrast, Colombian indigenous groups are divided to the extent that linguistic diversity is not only valued, but serves to split the population, both between groups and within groups themselves. +An example is the Tukanoans: while considered a single “ethnic group”, they maintain 16 distinct language groups and practice linguistic exogamy, in which members of one language group must marry into another (Jackson 1995: 4). +Language further works to establish identity by encapsulating a worldview markedly removed from that of the dominant Western culture. +Indigenous cosmology, or “cosmovision”, is difficult to translate into Romanticized languages; it maintains a concept of culture, defined as “the form of behavior resulting from a permanent harmonic relationship with Nature” (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 58) and view of history as cyclic that is often at odds with Western modes of thought. +The differences between Western and native perceptions then lead to conflict within the revitalization movements themselves: the question of embracing Western law and discourse is continually grappled with. +Language plays a complex and integral role in the development and redefinition of an identity, particularly when that identity has been oppressed and subsumed by a dominant other for as long as that of the indigenous peoples in Latin America has. In particular I will examine two divergent yet remarkably parallel cases, that of the Maya in Guatemala and the Nasa and Guambiano peoples of Colombia. +Customary law in Colombia contrasts with Western law as it maintains a different perception of casual relationships: tying back to the indigenous concept of harmony, crimes are viewed as imbalances in the community's harmony and can often be traced back to those who did not perpetuate the crime, but may have influenced the accused to do so. +When a punishment - often public and corporal in nature - is carried out, the group feels the effects as a whole. +Shamans often sit with the criminal as he fills his sentence, sharing in their ordeal. +(Rappaport 2005) Once punishments are completed, the criminal is seen as rehabilitated, having fulfilled his duty to restore harmonic order, and is welcomed back into the community (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 61, Rappaport 2005: 97). +Translation of law into native languages has proved to be a difficult task, as Western ideas often have no parallel in indigenous cosmovision. +The translation of the Colombian constitution sparked the development of neologisms, as the goal of the translators was not to provide a direct translation of the constitution, but to recapture its spirit in a native, rather than Western discourse (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 58-59). +This provides a second interpretation of law distinct from that of the Spanish Colombian culture, and in turn an interpretation aligned with native ideology for the cabildos to follow when governing (Rappaport 2005: 93, 236). +Translation fulfills another vital role, as it is employed in the rediscovery of the indigenous identity itself. +Workshops and advocacy groups regularly work to translate native histories back into native forms of knowledge, distancing them from the Western influences that have invaded over the past six centuries. +The Guambiano history project charts native history as the outward spiraling events which are both cyclic and parallel in nature; Mayan historians translate and document oral histories whose legacy is in danger of being forgotten (Rappaport 2005: 165). +This attempt to regain identity via translation is indicative of the intimate relationship between indigenous revitalization within a modern context and native language use. +Difficulties arise, however, as conflicts between the traditional and modern and native languages and Spanish develop. +The differences between cosmovision in Spanish and indigenous languages are great, leading to the difficulty of governing in Spanish yet embracing indigenous mode of thought. +In addition, there exists a complex relationship between what are perceived as different levels of indigenous identity; the Nasa, for example, divide themselves into the traditional, modern, and new. +The authenticity of the modern Nasa, who are often metropolitan Spanish speakers attempting to reconnect with their roots, is brought into question by the traditional, who speak Nasa Yuwe and lead a rural existence(Rappaport 2005). +In Guatemala the fact remains that Spanish is the gateway to social mobility; years of conflict and refugee status have established the desire to leave a rural way of life for an updated urban one, and those literate in Spanish have the tools to do so. +Illiteracy and poverty is associated with Maya; thus there is the conflict between the desire to recapture the unique Mayan identity via the language and the need to improve living conditions, which most often occurs under Spanish influence. +Their struggle to attain status in societies still bearing the marks of Spanish colonialism is deeply tied to their struggle to reaffirm the nature of their “indigenous identity”, and is in turn linked to the interaction of Spanish and their native languages. +Politicians make a point of appearing in their native dress and speaking in their native language in assembly, even if they are more at home in a business suit and speaking Spanish; indigenous identity has become a calling card to the extent that at times it appears to be a caricature of itself. +The Colombian constitution is problematic in that it provides little guide as to what exactly forms an indigenous group; the concept of culture is so complex and divergent that establishing self-determination in the eyes of the Colombian government requires emphasizing differences. +Efforts towards development, then, cannot endanger traditional culture and values, for fear of losing cultural legitimacy (Jackson 1995: 5). +There develops a duality in native culture; for example, many Nasa children receive instruction in Nasa Yuwe yet converse in Spanish outside the classroom. +An emphasis on preserving, rather than practicing, native culture arises: indigenous authenticity is maintained by sustaining knowledge of traditional practices and beliefs without fully embracing them on a day-to-day basis (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 66-67). +This intersection of language and indigenous identity poses challenges which have yet to be fully addressed. +In Guatemala, they are largely comprised of the conflict between poverty and progress; the pan-Mayan movement must meet the dual trials of establishing a positive identity within the Mayan population itself and legitimacy in the legal and political arenas in order to gain policy reforms and codified rights in law. +In Colombia, legal successes have often come about due to the Colombian government's recognition of the political viability of the rhetoric of indigenous rights; by granting indigenous peoples judicial sovereignty they hope to win the trust of a people who view the government as incapable of protecting them from the ongoing civil strife, and by giving them blocks of land they hope that the indigenous community will be able to keep out drug traffickers and guerrillas where the government itself has not (Jackson 1995: 8). +Regardless of the ulterior motives behind their legal status, indigenous peoples in Colombia now possess the rights to teach and govern in their own languages according to their own laws (Jackson 1995: 5). +Works Cited +The effects of Spanish colonialism are both far-reaching and deeply embedded in both countries. +One of the most prominent, lasting influences is that of the land grant system. Initially the Spanish government attempted to instate the encomienda system, in which a conquistador maintained direct control over the indigenous peoples and their land. +Humans, in the process of defining themselves, look to immediately recognizable factors in order to differentiate themselves from others. +In reality land ownership rights were the exclusive right of the Spanish, resulting in modern-day malappropriation of land ownership in the hands of the descendants of the Spanish colonialists (Warren 1978, 7-8). Indigenous peoples are commonly sharecroppers or migrant workers. +The impoverished plight of the native populations was first recognized by the Marxist movements of the early 20th century. +Those were the first to articulate the necessity of affirming the independent identity of the indigenous populations; previously, both the left and right maintained a belief in indigenous assimilation into the dominant Spanish culture. +However, they also claimed that they were part of a larger group, the working class, whose poverty was a direct result of American imperialism; therefore they should join these new popular leftist movements in order to reorganize society into a worker-friendly one (Jackson 1995: 6-7). +In Colombia this resulted in a civil war between the Liberal and Communist parties and Conservative party. +A truce established between the Liberals and Conservatives failed to meet the demands of the Communists, who in turn sustained guerrilla attacks in response. +Guerrilla warfare has since become a part of Colombian life; multiple groups maintain an ongoing presence, often stationing themselves in the remote mountainous villages often populated by various indigenous peoples. +This process leads to the development of what can be broadly termed culture: a group of people joined by characteristics, traits, and beliefs comes to view themselves as sharing a distinct identity, discernible from that of those “outside” them, those who do not belong. +This resulted in persecution against the Mayans, who make up about 60% of the overall population. In both counties, guerrillas were often associated with the native peoples; in many cases there were coalitions, but in others the guerrillas merely used the remote, inaccessible villages as hideouts. +In Guatemala over 450 villages were destroyed, 200,000 Mayans were killed, and over 1 million more were displaced. +The main guerrilla force was demilitarized in 1996 with the establishment of a peace accord (Warren 2002: 157-158). +The growth in popularity and militarism of these popular leftist movements is intertwined with the development of the indigenous revitalization movements. +By the 1970s the need to assert a cause separate from the general left was seen, and indigenous rights movements formed (Warren 2003: 174, Jackson 2002: 82). +Central to these was the question of indigenous identity: +Most still speak it in various forms, and efforts by Mayan linguists to standardize the language are producing a coherent, modern version of Maya (England 2003: 733, 739). +The popular left, however, continues to see the rhetoric of ethnic rights as a politically viable tool. +The Pan-Mayan movement thus benefits from the lasting influence of the popular left on Guatemalan governmental policies without risking drawing the (often negative) attention of the government (England 2003: 735, Warren 2003: 181). +A main concern among pan-Mayanists is the reversal of the long-seated inferiority complex of the Mayan people; despite their position as majority within the Guatemalan population, they remain impoverished and marginalized on the fridge of society. +Naturally this can be signaled by any number of things - clothing, food, lifestyle choices. +This results in part from the ingrained influences of Spanish colonialism: Spanish continues to be associated with modernity and social mobility, whereas Maya is seen as backward and inferior. +Pan-Mayan leaders therefore seek to develop a return to Maya as it was in its classical renaissance, a language of power and prestige (England 2003: 736). +By doing so they hope to inculcate among the Mayan peoples a renewed sense of pride which will in turn reverse the dogma of Spanish superiority. +Colombia, in contrast, has no unified "pan-Indian" sentiments; the indigenous population is a small fraction of the overall population, a fractured entity divided by region and language. +Several competing and oftentimes conflicting indigenous rights advocacy groups have developed: the ONIC poses itself as the sole pan-Indian group, yet lacks legitimacy in the eyes of many indigenous peoples (Jackson 2002: 83, 85). +One of the most dominant and easily noted factors is language. +It often stands in conflict with the AICO, its Guambiano counterpart (Jackson 2003: 83-84). +Whereas the Mayanists benefit from a single main identity, those of Colombia must operate under historical differences between the various ethnic groups (Jackson 2002: 109). +The Nasa and Guambiano have stood in opposition since pre-colonial times; therefore any coalition between the two advocacy groups is tenuous at best (Rappaport 2005: 2). +The command of a language, while not affording guaranteed access to the community which speaks it, is often the key to gaining entry. +In the 1990s the rhetoric of "cultural diversity" was picked up the Colombian media, and subsequently entered the consciousness of the greater metropolitan public, thereby cementing its place in Colombian society as necessity and further complicating the role of indigenous movements in gaining rights for indigenous peoples as a whole. +A major success in the Colombian saga is the revamped constitution of 1991, which includes a section on indigenous rights, as the Congress which drafted it included representatives from native groups (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 57). +Central is a return to the old land grant system stemming from the repartimentos of the colonial era along with judicial sovereignty. +While the repartimento was originally used to repress the indigenous groups, it is now used to support them: resguardos, or communally owned plots of land, are granted to communities. +The return to customary law reflects a substantial shift in indigenous identity: +no longer ruled by Western laws and discourse, communities are forced to assess the efficacy of their old judicial systems in light of the modern era. +In turn communal identity can be formed around a language; it is used as the focal point around which the group gathers. +The oral nature of jurisprudence directly conflicts with the desire of the Colombian government to codify law, and questions of human rights violations are common as punishments are often corporal in nature (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 57-58). +The Colombian constitution stands in stark contrast to the failure of the Guatemalan indigenous rights referendum of 1999. +Mayans gained formal recognition in 1995 as the majority population in a precursor to the 1996 peace accord; by 1999 its government floated a referendum on an indigenous bill of rights resembling that codified in the Colombian constitution (Warren 2002: 157-158). +IT AUTHORIZES YOU TO START ENJOYING AMC’S OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IMMEDIATELY! +Our mission is great +With our volunteers, we maintain 1,400 miles of trails. +We provide overnight shelters (including the famous AMC Mountain Huts) to more than 80,000 hikers annually. +We built our first hut more than 100 years ago in New Hampshire’s northern Presidential Range, and we helped protect the White Mountains so that they are still open to you now. +And we offer the same hospitality atop beautiful Mt.

HawkNew York, NY 10128President/CEO www.aspca.org +As a person who cares about animals, you’re probably anxious to know what happened to Astro. +A neighbor reported Astro’s plight to the ASPCA and our Humane Law Enforcement officers went to investigate. +When our officers arrived, Astro was too weak to even stand up. +The officers knelt down slowly, speaking gently to the emaciated dog. +Then they saw it. +He was barely moving. +but yes -- the poor, sick dog was saying. +“Welcome, friends!” +The officers brought Astro to the ASPCA’s Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. +The dog weighted only 45 pounds -- less than half of what a dog his size should weigh -- and he had several infections. +But with first-rate medical attention and tender care from ASPCA staff, he slowly got well again. +Stories like Astro’s are all too common. +Every day, the ASPCA gets reports of animal cruelty, abuse, and neglect. +Every day, our officers rescue animals like Sammy, a 10-month-old kitten who was deliberately thrown from a high-rise window by teenagers. +In a world where cruelty is common, animals like Sammy and Astro desperately need friends like you. +That is why I have written to you -- to ask you to support the ASPCA today. +Our vital anti-cruelty efforts are just part of the ASPCA mission. We also find loving adoptive homes for rescued animals ... provide first-rate veterinary care through our Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital ... offer low-cost spay and neuter programs for cats and dogs ... reach out to children, teachers, and parents through our Education Programs. +His belly was empty. +So empty it hurt. +The ASPCA pushes for the passage and strengthening of anti-cruelty laws, so that crimes against animals will be treated with the seriousness they deserve. +Since the ASPCA was founded in 1866 as America’ s first humane society, ending cruelty has been our primary goal. +Today, over 130 years later, the scope of the problem is greater than ever. +The task is too large for the ASPCA to handle without emergency assistance from dedicated friends. +THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS +Please help the ASPCA with your most generous gift today -- the animals are counting on you. +Sincerely, Hawk, DVM and CEO +But then the puddle dried up. +P.S.We found Astro a wonderful adoptive home. +He is the pride and joy of this loving family!

+But today’s battle is one we must win ... to block a dangerous experiment that would begin to erase 50 years of steady progress eliminating pesticides and other harmful chemicals from our environment. +That’s why I hope you’ll also agree to help even more by making a tax-deductible gift to support this crucial initiative and all of Audubon’s vital conservation work to protect birds, other wildlife and habitat. +And who plans to commit such a mass bird killing? +And with a donation of $15 or more, you’ll receive a FREE Birdfeeder in appreciation for your concern. +I’ll make sure your gift is put right to work in our efforts to: +·Win a ban on the USDA bird poisoning. +·Gain strict enforcement of wildlife laws. +·Ensure wildlife programs are based on sound science. +·Monitor the health of Audubon’s WatchList species. +·Conserve America’s remaining grassland habitat. +And Audubon will draw upon its century-long track record of highly effective conservation work to make a real difference in other key areas: +The U.S. Department of Agriculture! +Audubon protects birds. +Your help will be instrumental to our bird conservation work: designating Important Bird Areas to protect vital habitat ... maintaining the WatchList of bird species near endangered status (www.audubon.org/ bird/watch) ... and engaging citizen participation in the vast BirdSource database of North American bird trends. +Audubon rescues endangered wildlife. +Nearly 25 years ago, the National Audubon Society helped win passage of the Endangered Species Act. +With your help, Audubon will remain committed to wildlife laws and regulations that are well funded, properly implemented, and strongly enforced. +Audubon establishes and protects wildlife refuges and sanctuaries. +“Audubon is truly making a difference for wildlife refuges everywhere” +And your support will help sustain our innovative Audubon Refuge Keepers program, and maintain our own network of more than 100 wildlife centers and sanctuaries. +I’m outraged ... +Audubon restores wetlands. +Wetlands are not only crucial to wildlife ... they also help purify our drinking water and prevent billions of dollars worth of flood damage. +Your gift today will help us reach our goal to restore one million acres of irreplaceable wetlands. +Audubon educates the public. +Teaching Americans --particularly young people -- how to become better stewards of our environment is one of the best investments that you and I can make for wildlife. +That’s why we’re expanding our network of Audubon Centers to reach children and adults in every corner of the nation. +And of course, your support will enable Audubon to stand ready to act whenever a wildlife crisis emerges --like the USDA’s bird poisoning proposal that I’m asking you to help us defeat today! +So let me urge you to do your part by supporting a group that the San Francisco Chronicle calls “one of America’s most respected and influential conservation organizations. +First,sign and return your Petition to the Secretary of Agriculture immediately, to declare a firm and resounding “NO!” +“NO!” +to the USDA’s bird poisoning plan. +And I also hope you’ll take a second important step today, by supporting Audubon’s vital conservation work with a generous tax-deductible gift. +Thank you. +Very truly yours, +John Flicker President +P.S.Your gift will help us save birds, other wildlife and their habitat for future generations to cherish. +and I think you will be, too!

Take it through analysis, if there is some benefit in it for you." +Take it through analysis, if there is some benefit in it for you." +Religion, he said, is like a drugstore full of medicine. +You do not go to the drugstore and buy everything in it--you just buy what would be beneficial to you now. +You believe the other medicine may have just as much value, but in other situations, not this one. +When we talked about the giving, and how one should try to give what one could to other sentient beings (in the form of material items, kind words, protection, and so on), Khenpo Kalsang shared a story of the Buddha, and how the Buddha had given his flesh so that a family of hungry tigers could eat. +The gentle wind makes them flutter. +"So," +"Giving one's life for another being is the ultimate gift?" +Khenpo Kalsang, he smiled, and shook his head. +"Only if you feel no regret," +"Only if you feel no regret," he said. +Tibetan Buddhist Retreat +Orange-gold light filters into the grassy meadow, touching a row of canvas tents and the temple house beyond. +"If you feel regret, it destroys the merit." +Until then, preserve your own life, and do not give away anything that would cause you regret. +This struck a chord. +She had studied psychology for a while in grad school, but now holds the view that psychologists are going about understanding the mind and understanding the knower and what knowing is the wrong way. +"Psychologists," she said, "study the brain and the self externally. +"study the brain and the self externally. Ever since the 1920s, their science has been about observation of behavior, questionnaires, recordings of electrical brain activity. But the mind can only be known by you, the person whose mind it is." +But the mind can only be known by you, the person whose mind it is." +A big overlap exists between Tibetan Buddhism, psychology and cognitive science. +All three examine the distinction between the self and others, between the observer and the observed, between knowing and the knower. +Tsechen Kunchab Ling : Temple of All-Encompassing Great Compassion. +Tibetan Buddhist philosophy also approaches the mind and the self from the inside. +During a second philsophy session, Khenpo Kalsang translated a sutra about a king who received advice from the Buddha. +This sutra delved into some questions about the nature of the self, whether the self is a delusion, and how the clinging of self is a defilement. +I intend to discuss it in more depth later, so stay tuned. +This is the seat of His Holiness the Sakya Trizin in the United States, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery established nine years ago. +Compassion training and prayer flags +In the afternoon, a group of us gathered outside for a meditation session with Ani Kunga. +Sunshine melted lazily through the tree branches above, a breeze animating the branches' shadows so they danced between our cushions. +Compassion and anger were the session's topics. +The key message: +"If there's something you can do, why are you unhappy? +"If there's something you can do, why are you unhappy? Just do it. If there's nothing you can do, why are you unhappy?" +Just do it. +If there's nothing you can do, why are you unhappy?" +Ani Kunga explained several off-session and one on-session technique for dealing with negative emotions (anger, hate, irritation, stress, jealousy, and so on). +All the methods built off the idea that you are in control: anger is an emotion, and you can change your emotions. +Stay tuned for a more in-depth post on the topic. +"Prayers, wishes, hopes, aspirations--someone, many people, may share those with you. Hanging the prayer flag shares your prayer with everyone else in the world. This may do no good at all, but it may--if everyone hopes and wishes and dreams and aspires, perhaps it will do good. It may not. But if no one shares their prayers, it will certainly do no good.

this semester, one of my friends told me she was going: I should join her! +I like learning new things, so I signed up. +They suggested that what you believe about self-control affects the goals you set and achieve [PDF]. +I'm not one to make New Year's resolutions. +In the paper, "self-control" is used to mean a sense of willpower. +"self-control" +Mukhopadhyay & Venkatarmani discuss various lay theories of self-control, noting that the amount of self-control a person has can be seen as either an inherently limited or unlimited resource, and that this resource can be seen either as malleable or as fixed (the amount of self-control a person has can change over time, or not). +I mean, sure, I could take my pick of popular New Year's resolutions ; I could decide, on the first day of the new year, that this year, I'll start exercising more and eating better, or that I'll spend more time with my family and friends, or that I'll learn a new skill. +An important premise to note here is the idea that the probability of choosing a goal or making a resolution increases if a person thinks that goal can be attained. +So if you think you'll be able to achieve a goal, you're more likely to set it. +Combine this with theories of self-control, and in general, if you believe you have unlimited stores of self-control, you'll set a larger number of goals. +If you believe self-control is malleable but limited, you'll set fewer goals. +Mukhopadhyay & Venkatarmani also discuss self-efficacy: belief in one's capabilities, the perceived ability to carry out a desired action. +Self-control, Self-efficacy, and New Year's Resolutions Unresolved +The studies +In the first study, 85 participants (all college students) each read one of four passages presenting lay theories of self-control. +Each passage contained two paragraphs; the first discussed self-control either as limited or as unlimited, and the second discussed self-control as either malleable or fixed. +The participants then answered questions about their belief in each of two theories presented, followed by a second questionnaire to assess motivation, in which they listed all their current goals. +The study was testing whether a belief in unlimited, malleable self-control would result in most resolutions, and indeed, this is what was found. +The experimenters had some concerns about participants' natural beliefs in relation to the passages they read, however, so in study two, the order of the two measures (lay theories and motivation/goal listing) was varied. +Data from 130 new participants revealed that, as hypothesized, if the motivation & goals questionnaire were assessed first, then among the people who believed self-control is malleable, those who also believed self-control to be unlimited (vs. +limited) set more goals. +When lay theories were assessed first, this result reversed. +The people who believed that self-control is fixed were unaffected by order. +The third study moved on to examine goal achievement, adding a measure to look at self-efficacy. +The study had two sessions, in November then February. +In the first session , the 159 participants read passages about lay theories (much like in study one, but with longer passages to strengthen the manipulation), listed the resolutions they were planning on making at New Years, rated how disappointed they would be if they failed to keep their resolutions, and filled out individual difference measures (which included a self-efficacy scale). +And if I chose to make resolutions, I'd be far from alone--a 2008 survey on Dorthy.com found that 66% of the 2000+ adults polled had made resolutions at some point (though only 17% managed to keep them). +Only 86 participants successfully returned for the second session, during which they indicated how much success they had had at keeping their resolutions. +What does this mean for your resolutions? +The resolutions made by participants across all conditions were qualitatively similar (take a look at any list of popular New Year's resolutions, and you'll see the majority of the goals). +As shown in the first two studies, more goals were set by people who believe self-control is unlimited and malleable than by any other people--that is, if you expect more success, you may increase the difficulty and number of tasks that you set for yourself. +Self-efficacy did not have a significant effect on goal-setting. +As far as success goes, only the interaction between lay theory and self-efficacy was significant. +If participants believed in limited self-control and were low in self-efficacy, they tended to give up more often, failing to achieve their goals. +But if participants believed in unlimited self-control, self-efficacy had no effect; participants achieved just as many goals regardless, and people who set more resolutions were marginally more likely to succeed. +Mukhopadhyay & Venkatarmani realize that their research does not directly look at the relationship between lay theories of self-control and beliefs about one's own amount of self-control and self-efficacy, and propose this as an area for future study. +But in general, lay theories about self-control can determine how much success you'll expect (and thus, how many goals you'll set), and self-efficacy beliefs can determine how much success you'll actually have. +References +Mukhopadhyay, A. & Johar, G.V.

Chad said. +You suck. +He looked around, trying not to seem nervous. +Chad checked the other fort out of the corner of his eye. +He wished Roy wouldn't fall for that gag every time, "get me a big rock, Roy." +Two forts stood on the playground, and a hot, bare battlefield separated them. +A massive, rusted A-frame swing marked the border though nobody was swinging in the hot sun. +The larger of the two forts was a squat black bunker made of tires, two big tractor tires capped with one from a truck and two smaller ones from cars. +The older boys lay around in shade and napped inside the walls. +They were watching now from well defended spy holes, or maybe they were performing secret experiments and swearing bloody oaths. +Chad wished he were old enough to be one of them. +Maybe Tucker would let him in after he saw Chad wasn't chicken. +"You wanna play robots?" Roy asked. +You wanna play robots? +Chad felt his heart beat a little faster and his cheeks burned. +He had invented the "robots" game to make fun of Roy, but Roy had never figured that out either. +Roy stooped to pick up a big, white caliche rock that looked like a dirty lump of chalk and handed it to Chad. +It was Roy's favorite game. +No, go get some stickers. +Roy shuffled off without argument, his baseball cap pulled low to cover his bald head and brain plug and his shoe laces untied. +Roy had taught him to tie his shoes when Chad was five. +He thought about gathering stickers himself. +Roy was too slow, but he didn't dare step away from his fort. +He took another careful look over his shoulder and bent to pluck a yucca spear as if that were what drew his interest. +The long blade of the yucca had a sharp tip, but the only weapons allowed according to Humpty Dumpty Nursery rules of engagement were smelly thistles or cocklebur stems covered with spiked yellow stickers. +The tiny barbs hurt, but nobody was allowed to beat you up if you just used stickers. +The hot August sun was settling toward the time that Mrs. Rayburn would bring the milk tray out of the cinder block building where the toddlers and babies were kept. +Meanwhile Roy stalked around the fence edge bending to pick cockleburs as he went. +Chad took the rock with disgust as Roy returned to staring at his shoes. +Every move Roy made since the accident was smooth and sudden and strange -- like a remote control boy. +When he saw Roy in the hospital with a shaved head and the small silver plug at the back of his noggin like a bottle cap, Chad had called him, "Remote Control Boy." +Momma had smacked Chad for saying it which hurt, and then she had cried, which was worse. +Pop had given Chad the sideways glance that promised hard labor when they made it home. +He knew it was too late to explain that he was trying to get a smile out of Roy. +Pop said, "The doctors have put something very special in Roy's brain. +The doctors have put something very special in Roy's brain. +It's something they made for soldiers and astronauts and it's going to help Roy walk and talk to us again. +Chad was six, and at eight Roy should have been teasing or ordering Chad around or something. +Pop put a hand on Roy's shoulder. +How are you feeling, Roy? +Pop spoke slowly and Chad knew that he must have been practicing this with Roy. +They all stood around while the doctor made Roy shake and jerk and moan with a sick sound. +But the thing in his head hadn't worked yet because of something having to do with the, "electric toads," which wouldn't, "sit up." +Roy didn't really start talking for days and didn't walk until a long time after that. +Now, this year, Roy was in the same grade as Chad, and it was embarrassing. +Just then Tucker Williams came climbing out of the top of the black fort like a gold headed monster. +Tucker was big, even for a third grader, and he was not quite right in a different way than Roy. +Tucker was the oldest boy in the playground, and the one who decided the rules of the game. +But since his fall the year before, Roy had been shuffling and doing what he was told. +"Time out!" +Time out!" Chad called, "We're not ready yet. +We're not ready yet. +Several more boys spewed out after him. +Roy! +Roy!" Chad called, but his voice would only whisper +He didn't want to be a crybaby, Tucker hated crybabies. +The rules of the game were that Chad had to keep everyone away from his fort and away from his tumbleweed flag. +From painful experience, he knew it wasn't going to be as easy as just pretending he was too slow or too weak to do anything. +Going down too easy would only make him mad, so Chad reached behind him to grab the five stickers he had managed to collect before the start of the game and readied himself. +The boys came in quick from all sides, knocking Chad down, but he managed to roll to his feet and get one sticker off into a boy's arm before being knocked down again. +Baby! +Tucker was standing over him with the huge tumbleweed held high in the sun. +Penis! +Chad tried to tell his arms to lift him and let him reach for the tumbleweed to prove he wasn't a baby to Tucker. +I'll make you fight. +Tucker leaned in low and his breath was sour as it blew in Chad's face. +I'm gonna take the plug out. +Then Tucker's face became serious. +From his pocket he pulled a small screwdriver, perfect for prying plugs from boy's heads. +Now Chad's legs and arms and mouth worked, and he was up and running and screaming, "Roy, go inside! Roy!" +Roy, go inside! +Roy! +He sprinted for the corner of the building around which Roy had disappeared. +The door was on that side and Mrs. Rayburn. +Just then a horrible pain stung Chad's cheek and neck and ear. +The tumbleweed's yellow thorned branches scratched around him as it dug into his face. +He wished he were there now, even if he did have to sit next to Roy. +He ran like only a small boy can run, but he was losing and he wished hard that he could fly. +Roy! +Chad rounded the corner grabbing the cinder block to help him turn faster just as Tucker came down again with the tumbleweed from behind, and the world slowed almost to a stop. +Roy stood with the bill of his cap down. +His head rose and his eyes focused over Chad's shoulder. +Roy held stickers in his hand like flowers, but he bent looking down and snatched something from the ground. +His hand blurred and snapped out as he stood back up. +Something whined as it spun past Chad's ear, and he heard a sharp, meaty thunk just behind him. +The rock was too big to fit into the iron hub of the big cable spool, so Chad leaned it against the tumbleweed and slid down off the splintery wood on his belly to admire his handiwork. +Hey, Roy? +Tucker towered there with a surprised expression and crossed eyes, the tumbleweed in one hand and the screwdriver held up high in the other ready to stab down into Chad's back. +A sharp, flat, flint rock split Tucker's forehead and was buried deep and solid like a part of a Halloween costume complete with a drop of blood just starting down toward his nose. +Tucker dropped down like a jacket from a hook. +Yeah. +Chad stepped back away from Tucker's open-eyed face. +I thought he might stab you. +Do you think he's dead? +Just then Tucker blinked and began to sob. +"Nah." Chad said, "We're gonna be in trouble." +Nah. +We're gonna be in trouble. +"Yeah." Roy said. +Yeah. +Suddenly his blank face seemed like the face of a Play Force Soldier or a GI Joe. +Hey, Roy? +What? +It was all right. +The fort was a lone, wooden cable spool like a tall barrel with thick disks on its ends, each the size of a dinner table. +The sufferer says no, only those which cause no pain. +And the artist says no, only those which cause the most pain, for those would be the truest memories. +So I shall soothe my quarreling selves with a compromise. +I will not talk of the first time Tasha and I tried any act of sex or sport together. +I can remember similar things with others. +Is that love? +Probably not. +But it is something marvelous and rare, which is surely a sign of love. +If my love for her was the only important thing, I would leave a holo of her with a note: "Dear Future, this is Tasha Cortez. +"Dear Future, this is Tasha Cortez. +You loved her. +Tasha and I walked through The Sleeping Flamingo together, and I decided to buy it. +Mama kept her mink jacket, a family hand-me-down, safe from time in a stopbox, and lent the capturador to my uncle for his stamp collection. +Then -- +This is not easy. +But I have learned something: writing trivializes. +The Tasha who was is not the Tasha in this file. +The Tasha in this file is not even the Tasha I loved and thought I knew. +The Tasha in this file would walk through a net show in half an hour, including commercials, and just before an ad for Figuero's Flash Diapers -- Keeps Baby Driest! +, she -- +Tasha is not the whole of what happened on Vega IV. +I must also write about Emiliano Gabriel Malaquez. +I have been re-reading all our favorite books -- +Published in Double Feature by Emma Bull and Will Shetterly (NESFA Press, 1994). +But neither of us care to dwell on such boring subjects, do we? +I want to pick up with Tasha and me walking about The Sleeping Flamingo, and then, for the sake of literary convenience, to say that from a corner of the yard I saw a neighboring house, and the sight filled me with darkest forebodings. +But the truth is that Tasha pointed it out from the one place where it could barely be seen, and I only felt envy that it had been designed by someone with understated good taste. +"Who lives there?" +I asked. +"No one," +"No one," Tasha replied. +Sometimes they would let us little ones to seal a treasured toy or a last piece of birthday cake until we begged them for its release, usually a few hours after enclosing it. +Truth is always more boring than fiction. +For Malaquez did not move into Dream's End until four or five months after I -- we? +how does one speak to one's future self? +-- occupied The Flamingo. +I do not plan to write a book: this narrative must move more quickly. +Consoling her, I began to suspect I loved her. +I moved into The Flamingo the next day; and she gave up her apartment three weeks later to join me. +It was the sort of romance that happens so rarely that most people believe it does not happen at all, the sort of romance that sustains the hopeless billions who regularly watch A Wandering Star Called Love. +(Which is to say, you and me, Future Self.) +She was a twenty-four-year-old (Terran Standard) N'Apulcan who left university training in hydroponics to work for her aunt's real estate firm. +Her family said she did it to support her father, who was dying of a particularly painful degenerative disease. +Tasha said she woke up one morning convinced that if she spent another day studying vegetables, she would become one. +She did not like my plays. +I had impressed her because I was famous and amusing and not, as I had hoped, because I was a great artist. +That bothered (yes, and intrigued) me until I realized that she was bored by most plays, movies, and vid. +She did not like being a spectator. +I often told her that she should have a bio-check to see if she suffered from some metabolic imbalance. +I often told her too many things. +Search "Emiliano Malaquez" and you'll find he's a master of the "captured moment" school of sculpture. +Even The Terran Times has only praise for his work. +When my father died, a year after my mother, my sisters and I cleaned out their apartment. +To compare his pieces to those of others is to compare mannequins to living models. +He accents the illusion of reality --I paraphrase his entry in La Enciclopedia Humanica --by doing life-size scenes in "the full round," never the easier frontal or three-quarters view. +Moreover, he never did portraits of famous people; his works were therefore the reality and could never be compared to it. +As is typical of his school, his pieces are sealed in stopboxes. +The shimmer of light on their surfaces always reminds us that we're looking at an instant snatched from under the hooves of time. +They say the cubes will outlast planets and suns, that when the universe dies, the works of Malaquez and his followers will be the last things seen in the final wink of God's eye. +Yes, Self, I am also bothered that this observation ignores half-eaten cheese sandwiches, incomplete insect collections, and locks of infants' hair, forgotten in closets, basements, and warehouses. +We found our baby shoes protected in stopboxes. +You see the inspiration for my latest play, "Captured Moments." +The mindwipe will take its creation from my future self --but time too often does that without aid. +The play's second act concludes with the last fight between Tasha and me. +I have disguised us in the play, and deleted one brief melodramatic interchange. +I took mine home, where they sat above my computer while I worked on my first play. +Now I will mention it, in case I/You decide to restore it. +Shortly before she left, Tasha said, "You steal from life for art, Bernardo. +You'll impoverish yourself." +I only snarled at her and -- +My story leaps ahead of itself. +Let me retreat and retrench: +One night during N'apulco's mild winter, Tasha returned to The Flamingo, saying, "Nardo! +"Nardo! +Nardo! +Guess what?" +My mind was on other things. +"You wish to become pregnant? +I suppose I could assist a friend. +Purely for the sake of the race, of course --" +"Ever the altruist. +"My guess." +She batted at my nose like a cat. +"Silly Nardo." +"Emil Malaquez is buying the house up the hill." +One night when I did not believe love had ever existed for anyone, I used my own capturador, a sleek titanium Sanyo Tardar Ahora, to undo the stopbox. +"Oh." +"You don't know who he is?" +"Well..." +"Nardo!" +One of the many things I liked about her was that she often thought me shockingly ignorant. +"That's, uh..." +I am never so quick-witted in person as I am on the page. +Especially when someone thinks me shockingly ignorant. +"You know, the sculptor. +He's had shows in Brazil and New Madrid and everywhere! +He may be more famous than you." +"Imagine that." +I remembered an article in The Medusa and a photo of a work in which 100-peso notes fell like confetti onto a small Undersider, sexlessly young in grimy, oversized clothing. +The child's face was a warground for wonder and mistrust. +Imprisoned light from forgotten streetlamps snagged itself on metal threads in the fluttering pesos. +The stars themselves might have fallen on the Undersider and the event would have been no less strange, no less miraculous. +"A great artist will grace this world, then?" +"Nardo!" +She was never tolerant of my ego. +"Well. +What's this more-famous-than-me person like?" +"I didn't meet him, jealous old one." +"Too bad. +If I thought he could free me from you --" +"Hah!" +She wrapped her arms around my stomach. +The next evening, she arrived with a stack of glistening stopboxes containing sushi, sashimi, oysters in their shells, and Terran vegetables fresh plucked from their hydroponic beds. +Wondering about the reason for her extravagance, I asked how work had gone that day. +Bringing my face close to the shoes, I breathed deeply of air that my parents had trapped while closing up that symbol of their love for me. +"Emil came in. +He's taking Dream's End." +"Emil?" +"You've no memory left, old one. +Emil Malaquez." +"Ah. +You did that to test my affections." +"What?" +"Calling him by his first name. +I did that in a comedy once. +'Nights with Karl and Groucho.' +It was before your time." +"Oh." +"The critics liked it." +"I'm glad." +A moment later: "That's not why I called him 'Emil'." +"That's not why I called him 'Emil'." +"No?" +"No. +We lunched together. +He's nice." +"Oh." +"It wasn't like that." +"Of course. +Still, it wasn't like that. +You think I sleep with every famous person I meet?" +As you may have guessed, we had talked about such things. +I do not claim ours was a perfect affair, only a wonderful one. +"Tasha --" +"No." +"Good. +I invited him to dinner tomorrow." +"Oh?" +You say we're becoming too insular, that we need to socialize --" +"I've socialized for sixty-three years." +"Nardo?" +"Yes?" +"How should I reply?" +Her voice had grown quiet, and I began to feel some guilt. +I had, it is true, told her that we needed other company than our own. +I said this from years of learning that romances consume themselves without other fuel. +But knowing this did not mean I wanted it. +I said, "Truthfully." +"Truthfully." +It was the statement of a younger and crueler man than I. +She screamed, "I haven't socialized with Terra's elite for most of my life! +The instant would have been improved had my baby shoes been cleaned before they were encased. +I haven't socialized with hardly anyone for hardly any of my life! +And I invite a neighbor, one nice, lonely man --" +"I'm sorry." +" --who took me to -- What?" +"I'm sorry. +Truly." +"Oh." +She studied me as a suspicious puppy might, then said, "I'm sorry, too." +"I suppose I sound like I'm bragging when I talk of the things I'm tired of." +"Only because you are." +I had to grin, so I did. +"True." +"He may come to dinner?" +"If you wish, he may be dinner." +"I love you." +"And I, you." +Months earlier, we might have sought a bed, a couch, or a comfortable chair at this point. +Instead, I asked, "Is he handsome?" +"Is he handsome?" +"You're jealous." +"A tiny bit. +Extremely." +"Content yourself, old one. +He's four inches shorter than I, his nose is big and broken, and --" +But as soon as I coughed, I laughed, and I did not try to kill myself that night. +"This is cosmetic?" +"He's not that ugly. +I think they're his natural features." +"Interesting." +"You could write a play about someone like him." +"I think his face is his form of vanity. +Old men should be fat." +"Is Emil?" +"Yes." +"I am jealous. +I'll eat two dinners tonight. +Five deserts." +She giggled. +And then we did make love. +I've been thinking about the mindwipe, now two days away. +Who said that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it? +I fear that may be true for me. +Add this to the reasons I write now: to remember something, perhaps even to learn -- +This work is hereby released into the Public Domain. +Emil Malaquez arrived after sundown, carrying a small package wrapped in what looked like real paper. +His evening dress was formal, expensive, and slightly stained, as that of all forgetful artists should be. +He was a jovial man with an easy laugh, and even uglier than Tasha had suggested. +I liked him immediately. +"Señor Malaquez?" +"Please. +Call me Emil. +You must be Bernardo. +Let me begin again. +"All of it outrageous praise?" +He raised an eyebrow, then guffawed. +"Has she said as much about me?" +"She thinks you are a genius. +Do come in." +"Thank you." +Stepping into the living room, he said, "A beautiful house." +"A beautiful house." +"I'm glad you came after dark." +Tasha, by accident or design, had found an innocently erotic posture on the couch, where she lay with a book of M'duvian prints. +"Emil!" +She leapt up. +"I did not expect you --" +"So early?" +It's unforgiveable, but you're forgiven." +She nodded at the package. +"What's that?" +"For your kindness in inviting a stranger into your home." +"Oh!" +Tasha snatched it from him to rip away the paper. +I stopped writing, and only the thought that I might miss the mindwipe kept me from another spree. +I walked from this hotel to the old city, past the end of the slidewalks and softwalks to the hard, cracked pavement of City Park. +But Undersiders left me alone. +Perhaps they recognized a fellow ghost. +The side of Malaquez's parcel gave way to reveal a greenmunk caught in a sheen of solid air. +Bits of leaf mold flew from under his feet as he ran to greet a friend or a bringer of food. +Last year, I rented a small house on Vega IV, a sea world, all islands and reefs and archipelagos, turquoise waters and aquamarine skies, sunrises like symphonies and sunsets like stars gone supernova. +Tasha oohed in awe. +I said, "Frodo's been visiting you, eh?" +"Frodo's been visiting you, eh?" +Malaquez said, "Your pet?" +"Your pet?" +"Hardly. +I suppose he was attracted to the commotion up the hill." +"Ah," +"Ah," Malaquez said. +"Why 'Frodo'?" +"A little fellow with big, furry feet. +She handed the sculpture to me. +I almost dropped it; I expected it to weigh no more than a holo. +"Heavy," +"Heavy," I said, as if he might not have known. +He laughed. +"My last piece was of four old Undersiders crouched around a trash fire. +He spoke of his art with the enthusiasm of a seven-year-old. +"A confession, and then a request. +It's not easy for me to ask a favor." +"Relax," +"Relax," I said. +"It's easy for me to turn one down." +He glanced at me and decided I was joking. +The surprising thing is that I was. +"Good. +My last show --" +" --was glorious!" +Tasha said. +" --was kindly received," +" --was kindly received," he said. +"But an artist who would stay first among his fellows can tell when he begins to fail." +I hoped no one would bring up my last three plays. +"I must change my subject matter. +No more urchins, dopers, vagrants, or whores. +I want to do more traditional portraits." +He spoke quickly, prepared to be rejected. +I would pay --" +"Never," I said. +"Ah." +He shrugged lightly. +"Nardo!" +"It's an honor --" +"Of course," +"Of course," I said. +"That's why I cannot take payment." +"Oh? +Oh! +Thank you!" +Malaquez turned to Tasha. +"And you as well? +Perhaps the two of you together?" +Her eyes became circles at the idea of being, as she undoubtedly thought it, immortalized by Emil Malaquez. +There's only one city: called Nuevo Acapulco in La Enciclopedia del Empirio de la Humanidad, it's N'apulco to the locals. +Catching herself, she said casually, "Oh..." And then she smiled, laughed loudly at herself in the way that always made me think how much I loved her, and said, "My God, yes, yes, yes!" +"Oh..." +"My God, yes, yes, yes!" +For a perfect moment, Emil and Tasha and I were one entity, laughing until our lungs hurt. +This is torture. +I had not considered that I might not write to learn, but to punish myself. +Let me abuse the playwright and dismiss the penultimate scene in a few sentences: After giving Emil full rights to a sculpture of Tasha and me, we had a good dinner of curried clam chowder, lobsters boiled on Terra and unstopped still steaming on N'Apulco, and cinnamon custard for desert. +To view a copy of the public domain dedication, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 559 Nathan Abbott Way, Stanford, California 94305, USA. +I had drunk too much, I confess, though we all had. +Somehow, Tasha and I began to argue the worth of Solevgrad jazz, as inconsequential a topic as I can imagine. +She had studied it in school, so she thought herself as an expert. +I once had a neighbor who played it constantly, loudly, and badly, so I thought I knew it better. +Malaquez tried to mediate, but I saw him as siding with Tasha. +So, I think, did she. +The subject shifted from music to Tasha's obsession with fame, undoubtedly by a leap that I made. +She had no choice but to follow. +(I do not remember any of this well, just now, nor do I care to. +The N'apulcans are mostly emigrants from Polaris II; the only difference between them and their Carribbean ancestors is that the ancestors fleeced NorAm tourists. +Those who are truly curious may look at the last act of "Captured Moments." +) I remember suggesting, with characteristic tact, that she add Emil to her small list of major accomplishments. +Malaquez glanced away, embarrassed. +Tasha looked at me as if to say, "I will." +"I will." +She said, "I feel sorry for you, Nardo. +"I feel sorry for you, Nardo. +"Yes," +"Yes," I said, "Do that," and did not care what she did, or why. +"Do that," +Emil asked, "You're all right?" +"You're all right?" +I muttered something he must have interpreted as assent. +They both walked up to Emil's home while I watched the scarlet moonlight ripple on distant waves. +Disgusted with Tasha but more disgusted with myself, I finally realized she would not return that night and went into The Sleeping Flamingo to drink myself to sleep. +She had not come home when I woke in mid-morning. +I waited, and drank a glass of MorningAfter and three cups of coffee, and wondered whether our affair could survive the events of the night, and whether I wanted it to. +Perhaps I should have invited Emil to stay, but even then I knew that sex was not the problem between Tasha and me. +The problem was that I have trouble distinguishing between compromise and capitulation, between symbols and substance. +Shortly before noon, I climbed the sandy path to Dream's End, rehearsing my apology, slowing only to pluck burrs from between my sandals and my feet. +Malaquez answered the door in blood-red pajamas and a black silk robe. +Sixty years ago in a similar situation, I had broken my knuckles on someone's face. +I merely said, "Is Tasha here?" +"Is Tasha here?" +Now the N'apulcans profit from their Hispanic siblings. +He pursed his lips slightly, then nodded. +"Yes." +"May I see her?" +When he hesitated, I said, "Last night was my fault. +"Last night was my fault. +I hold it against neither of you. +Let me talk to her." +"I --" +"Please." +He looked me and at last said, "Very well." +"Very well." +We walked through his house in silence. +A tall, narrow stopbox stood in the center of one room; sand trickled forever downward while beads of water splashed across the sand's path. +But then, I was in no mood to consider art. +I only wanted to despise the man who had slept with my lover. +That was easier than despising myself. +I don't mean to sound cynical. +He paused before a bedroom door. +"I should go in first. +I smiled. +Go ahead. +Tell her..." +I shrugged. +"Tell her I love her." +I suppose I wish to show that I'm still capable of a certain authorial distance, a semblance of dispassionate observation. +He studied me, then said, "I'm sorry things happened this way, Bernardo. +"I'm sorry things happened this way, Bernardo. +I didn't anticipate last night --" +"I'm very good at making things happen this way. +But if Tasha will forgive me --" +He nodded, repeated, "I am sorry," then slipped into the next room. +"I am sorry," +I waited in the dark, carpeted hall. +I heard no voices until Malaquez said, "Enter." +"Enter." +Sunlight filled Malaquez's bedroom. +Tasha lay sprawled nude on a rumpled bed. +Her skin seemed as smooth and as polished as the bed's teak frame. +She was looking slightly to my left, smiling with trust and satisfaction like one sexually content. +Malaquez stood near her, pointing something at my chest. +Though the morning sun shone fully on both of them, it shimmered around Tasha. +The part of my mind that remembered four months in NorAm during the Great Cleaning sent me rolling across the floor. +Malaquez was not prepared for me to react so quickly, or perhaps he waited too long for an expression I would not have, a gesture I would not make, a poignant moment of repentence, wonder, despair, or love. +The following events may indicate otherwise. +Had he been faster, he could have had rage. +I threw a chair at him. +As he fell, I scrambled onto him, my knees pinning his arms, my fingers probing his neck. +"Where is she? +Tell me, or I'll kill --" +He began to cry. +"She left. +Earlier this morning --" +Her clothes lay by the cube enclosing the bed. +I hit him with the back of my hand. +"Tell me, Malaquez." +"She wanted to be famous. +She did! +He seemed to expect me to understand. +"Where!" +I demanded, squeezing his throat until he began jerking his head madly at the sculpture. +I stared at the naked Tasha. +Most of his story I have pieced together since, but I understood enough as I knelt on his chest with my hands tight on his fleshy throat. +He had made his name with a home capturador. +He began with small animals and moved on to derelicts and Undersiders, people who would never be missed. +Now he had thought to use vacationers like Tasha and me, and when someone came looking, he would say we had gone island-hopping in our windboat. +Our boat would disappear into the ocean to be found or not as the wind and tides chose. +Mine was The Sleeping Flamingo, and its outer walls were coral pink. +His story would stand in either case. +I wanted him to tell me more, but he babbled, begging me to forgive him, to understand. +I did not listen. +I think I was wondering what it meant to say that a thing was art, so we accepted it as art. +Or perhaps I was thinking about the things that humanity made that would outlive our species. +But I was probably only looking at my reflection in the capturador's lens. +Had he said then that I should use it on myself, I might have. +That moment passed. +I looked at Malaquez. +Were they mood-sensitive, they would have changed as I first viewed them. +His lips contorted as if they had lost their ability to shape sound. +I turned to touch the cube that was Tasha's crypt. +She smiled in trust or pleasure or pride, an erotic Mona Lisa who would smile forever, and I could never know why. +I could free Tasha. +If I did, one of three things would happen. +Most likely: she would be meat --there is a reason why stopboxes are most often used in kitchens. +Less likely: she would live the rest of her days with a mind as free of worry as a slug's. +And the tiniest chance of all: she would blink as if I had just materialized in Emil's bedroom, and then she would laugh and tell me that she was going to be immortal. +As I put my hand on the impervious surface of Tasha's stopbox, I heard Malaquez run for the door. +It is strange to know that we can do acts of unrepayable kindness to those we should hate. +Know this, my future self: Thanks to us, Emil Malaquez's name will live as long as his masterpiece, "A Self-Portrait: Anguish," endures. +And Tasha? +I could say that I did not dare to take responsibility for her fate. +I could say that I chose out of consideration for her desire for fame; some critics already say "Waking With Tasha" is Malaquez's finest work. +If science finds a way to safely free the subjects of Emil's art, perhaps the I who reads this file will know that my decision is wise. +But I cannot stop thinking that I was never afraid of losing Tasha to brain damage or death. +My fear is that she would live, and I would learn that I had lost her long before Emil Malaquez translated her into a thing that can be kept, admired, and loved. +For in my way, I have done the same thing. +She said, "It's beautiful, isn't it, Señor Flynn?" +I am ready for the mindwipe now. +"It's beautiful, isn't it, Señor Flynn?" +But she was young and attractive (as I have said and may say again) and eager and so happy to be assisting the infamous Bernardo Flynn that I merely raised an eyebrow in mild scepticism. +And then, because a playwright cannot resist a promising line, I said, "Your Sleeping Flamingo should be put to sleep." +"Your Sleeping Flamingo should be put to sleep." +To say her face fell would do a disservice to Tasha and to literature. +(Allow me my self-indulgences as you would those of a dying man -- when I convince my mindsmith to permit the wipe, there will be another Bernardo Flynn, one who knows no more of Tasha Cortez or Vega IV than he reads here.) +Her brows drew together, creasing the lovely, caramel-colored skin around her eyes and showing the pattern for an old woman's wrinkles on her forehead. +Her lower lip (a trifle too narrow for her face, perhaps her only physical flaw) thrust forward slightly as she started to speak. +She caught herself, slid her jaw infinitesimally back into place, and said, "You don't like it?" +"You don't like it?" +I laughed. +I clapped her shoulder to show I was not laughing at her. +"Like it? +I hate it, despise it, abhor it! +It's gaudy, graceless, pretentious -- That house is an affront to taste and intelligence. +I should buy it to raze it, but I am not so kind-hearted. +I might, however, rent it." +Captured Moments +I think she only heard the last words of my speech. +"You will?" +"It amuses me. +Show me around, and then I shall decide." +"Of course, Señor Flynn." +"And stop calling me 'señor'. +Not even Los Mundos is so polite. +"If you wish." +"I beg you, change the color of the walls, at the very least." +"But of course!" +I stared. +"How's that?" +I looked at her. +"Worse?" +I remember Papa's stopbox, a teal blue Tiempo Capturado that Mama brought home for his birthday. +I nodded. +"I would not have thought it possible." +She frowned. +"It is rather ugly." +"Thoroughly ugly," +"Thoroughly ugly," I corrected with smile. +"Obscenely ugly," +"Obscenely ugly," said she, smiling too. +"No." +I pointed. +"It has no tower." +"I can fix that." +She reached for another dial on the house controls. +"Don't you dare!" +Her wrist, when I grabbed it, was smooth and strong and warm in my fingers. +"I'll take it. +Exactly as it is." +"You will?" +"I must. +God knows what you might do to it next." +Reluctantly, I released her hand. +The interior of The Flamingo was a welcome surprise. +Cloudwood had been used in a Mediterranean manner, making the house seem primitive and civilized at the same time. +The kitchen and baths had every convenience that I desired. +From the living room, the view of the beach struck me with such intensity that Tasha asked if I felt ill. +All I could say was, "No. +I'm in love." +It was huge and inefficient, and she should never have spent so many pesos on a toy, but Papa would not let her return it. +We both thought I referred to the vista. +It's strange how one can write delightedly of the happier moments of life, forgetting the things that one would forget by remembering fully the things one would remember, and suddenly the forgotten, in revenge, rears up to savage the unwary. +So it was as I wrote the preceding. +My heart convulsed, and I left this manuscript for a three-day spree. +Apparently I was so successful that it lasted a week and a half. +Not bad for an eighty-three-year-old, even for one who has his rejuve every month. +And if I can brag and digress so easily, this must not be painful enough to merit a mindwipe, yes? +I abandoned these notes to my future self to have the wipe done immediately, thinking that Bernardo Flynn should receive such services when he needed them, even should the need arise at the third hour after midnight. +My mindsmith is not so understanding. +Captured Moments +She says I am emotionally a child, to which I reply, "Of course. +"Of course. +Why else would I come to you?" +This logic does not soothe her; she says I must wait three weeks. +Three! +. +Such is the law. +I say I do not care about law, I care about service and she should care about money. +He used it to preserve baby tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries in translucent cubes that he stored in the pantry for spring-time meals in the middle of winter. +I went on a spree, and it must have been a good one. +I hope the wipe is as successful with my time on Vega IV as my spree was with my time here. +I dimly remember three bedpartners who were probably human, and one that I hope was delirium. +I will not answer the phone for a week, no matter whose face appears on it. +I keep evading the issue. +But which issue? +The issue of why I am evading the issue, or the issue itself? +To deal with the first: it hurts to remember. +If I am capable of love, I loved Tasha Cortez. +If I am not, I had the perfect mirror for my narcissism. +As for the issue itself, I'm no longer sure what I want to record. +The playwright in me wants every scene of our time together. +The editor says no, only those that are relevant. +“can’t-miss” +Wolves can run fast — but they certainly can’t outrun airplanes. +Given the urgency of the situation in Alaska, Defenders needs your immediate assistance to help save Alaska’s wolves from same-day airborne land-and-shoot slaughter. +Support the Emergency Effort to Save Alaska’s Wolves. +Soon this wolf won’t be merely running in the snow. +Defenders hopes to raise at least $100,000 to help Alaskans For Wildlife, a coalition of Alaska citizens, win a citizens’ ballot initiative this November. +And we face very wealthy opponents. +So today, I urge you to do these two things: FIRST: Sign the enclosed Citizens’ Advisory Ballot to show our Alaska allies your strong personal support to reinstate the ban on “same-day airborne land-and-shoot” wolf killing in Alaska; SECOND: Rush an urgent donation to help put this measure on the ballot and win passage in November. +“same-day airborne land-and-shoot” +The Alaska Legislature is completely out of step with the will of Alaska’s citizens and the American public at large. +This wolf will be running for its life! +Like you, the majority of Alaskans oppose same-day land-and-shoot wolf killing. +But the anti-wolf politicians in the Alaska legislature don’t care what the majority of Alaska citizens want. +And they didn’t listen to the recommendations of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, which opposed this legislation! +They are utterly out of step with their Alaska constituents ... the state agency that manages Alaska wildlife ... and the rest of the American public! +The airplane above will be tracking her ... in order to land and immediately gun her down . +In the name of “wolf control,” wolf killers will predictably once again use aircraft to hunt wolves to the point of exhaustion, so that the wolves have, literally, no chance of survival. +“wolf control,” +And if history is any guide, over the years thousands of Alaska’s wolves will be brutally killed. +Before the 1996 ban on same-day land-and-shoot, as many as 400 wolves were killed in Alaska each year because of this barbaric and unethical practice. +Anti-wolf interests are prepared to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure that the new land-and-shoot law stands — even though most Alaskans do not support it. +ALASKA EMERGENCY +So if we don’t act right now, Alaska’s snowy tundras will once again become bloody killing fields for wolves in America’s “Last Frontier.” +Say “NO” to the barbaric practice of same-day airborne wolf killing. +“NO” +You see, the Alaska legislature passed a law that once again allows any private citizen with just a $15 trapping or $25 hunting license to track wolves by aircraft and then land and gun them down. +As I mentioned, this new same-day airborne land-and-shoot practice will start in September after the opening of hunting season and the first snow — and when wolves will be an easy target. +To repeal this unconscionable law, Defenders must help provide our friends in Alaska -- Alaskans For Wildlife — with the resources necessary to win at the polls in November. +Our well-funded opponents will spend whatever it takes to mislead and confuse voters about this ballot measure. +If Alaska’s new law is not replaced, thousands of Alaska's wolves will die in the years to come. +And it will be a major setback for wolves nationwide — at a time when the American public overwhelmingly favors wolf reintroduction and protection. +A loss will encourage those anti-wolf fanatics who want to stop wolf restoration and put bounties on those wolves already in the wild. +So, please don’t wait another minute. +Please sign your Citizens’ Advisory Ballot to demonstrate to our Alaska allies that you’re behind them; and send an urgent donation today to help them win this effort. +So how will your money be spent? +Here’s the projected budget breakdown: $35,000 — in-depth, state-wide survey conducted by a top pollster to determine voters’ positions on the ballot measure and arguments that will help persuade undecided voters. +$45,000 — salaries /office expenses for staff to oversee the effort between now and election day. +$30,000 — production of television and radio spots alerting the public to the findings of the above survey. +This cruel, unethical wolf-hunting practice is called “same-day airborne land-and-shoot.” +$100,000 — placement of voter education spots in the key media including print, radio and television. +$15,000 — election day “get-out-the-vote” drive, including phone calls to get voters to the polls. +“get-out-the-vote” +You stood by Defenders when we defeated the wealthy American Farm Bureau in court and saved the lives of the wolves in Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. +Now, I’m hoping I can count on your moral and financial support again today. +“same-day airborne land-and-shoot.” +to help save Alaska’s wolves from same-day airborne land-and-shoot killing. +Your special donation today is absolutely critical, because many of Alaska’s politicians clearly have anti-wolf agendas. +They have the financial backing of powerful special interests and the determination to ignore the will of the people of Alaska and the American public. +Please let Alaskans know that you’re behind them. +Please help save Alaska’s wolves by doing these two things: +2.

Oct, 2010 at 7:02 pm +I, too checked out a few listings for under $1,000 and was absolutely shocked at the property taxes. +A $1,000 house, which could be fixed up into maybe a $30-40,000 house comes with a tax bill of $4-6K per year! +Additionally, even if you paid cash for the house, you'd probably want to carry some homeowner's insurance with all the inherent risks to the property (arson, vandalism), and I'm sure it's sky-high, given those risks. +With houses going for $100, I thought, what would you have to lose by moving to Detroit? +And so Quiet Earp and I did some research, and came up with a list of houses selling for under a grand. +We had plenty to choose from: there were more cheap houses than we would have time to visit. +We picked two neighborhoods to cruise, and dove in. +But once we entered Detroit, the truth hit fast: this is a modern American ghost town. +The place is practically deserted. +Its streets, built wide to accommodate heavy traffic, are mostly empty. +Houses and businesses are boarded up, painted up, bombed out and falling down. +Even in the center of the business district, there's no traffic and hardly any people. +Chief among these is Detroit, Motor City. +Don't believe me? +I videotaped it: +It got worse as we drove into residential areas, looking for those cheap houses. +In fact, I've never felt so out of place in all my life . +Even in Chicago's South Side, where we counted five white people in an hour, I felt fine just driving around; not so in Detroit. +Truthfully, it wasn't about race: it was about being naive. +It was about driving down streets where we truly did not belong and were not welcome. +The longtime center of American automotive manufacturing was gutted when the Big Three car companies simultaneously failed. +They sit on the porch and watch the cars go by, watch the deals go down, watch their neighborhoods crumble. +And we, driving through slowly and reading house numbers in a late-model Honda, stuck out like a couple of thumbs. +So we sped up, and went straight to the houses. +Sometimes we stopped to take a photo, but mostly we didn't. +Earp and I have each lived happily in the wilds of West Oakland, but the danger I felt in Detroit was like nothing I'd experienced before. +I was actually afraid for my life. +The New York Times correspondent wrote that his friend Mitch's $1,900 home "had already been stripped of its appliances and wiring ... +But for Mitch that only added to its appeal, because he now had the opportunity to renovate it with solar heating, solar electricity and low-cost, high-efficiency appliances. +As for the $100 house? +It "needed some work, a hole patched, some windows replaced." +"needed some work, a hole patched, some windows replaced." +Well, I don't know what part of Detroit these folks live in, but the $100 houses I saw looked more like this: +You see, abandoned houses in this town get set on fire. +No exceptions. +Wherever we went in those neighborhoods, one in four houses had been torched. +On one corner, we saw a giant banner hung across a charred front porch. +We didn't slow down to take a photo, but I'll paraphrase: DON'T BURN HOUSES DOWN! +Except that they obviously aren't. +Buy a $100 house in Detroit, and you get a lifetime supply of sleepless nights: you'll spend the next several years waiting for burglars and arsonists, murderers and crackheads to break in the windows. +It's the Rust Belt. +Ultimately, I do believe that change will come to Detroit. +Detroit and the Myth of the $100 House | Uprooted, an eco/travel blog +There will be a green movement here ; in fact it's already being cultivated by forward-thinking groups and intrepid locals . +One day, this place will be reborn. +But right now, the NYT's story reeks of Shinola. +Anyone who takes this plunge is risking their life every day, betting on a future that may take a long time to arrive. +Long story short: Yes, you can buy a house in Detroit for $100. +Cheap real estate, that's what. +And you will get what you pay for. +Cheers to Toby Barlow , who inspired my trek to Detroit, and who believes in a happier, greener future. +May your every dream come true, sir, and your book sell fabulously. +16 Responses to "Detroit and the Myth of the $100 House" +bisnis 16.

Sep, 2009 at 10:06 am +Please track down and watch a movie called "Detroit: A City to Yourself", by Nicole MacDonald. +"Detroit: A City to Yourself" +It's full of this imagery, and talks about the 1805 fire and rebuilding, and the post-industrial devastation that's ravaged the city since. +About the pop fiction which explores the concept of a post-human world, and how it already exists now. +And about how, if you're a pheasant, that's not such a bad thing. +HOWEVER ... +There's a lot more to Detroit than that. +There are industrial spaces being turned into low-rent artist lofts and business incubators. +(Look at the Russell Industrial Complex, for one example.) +There are neighborhoods that refuse to cave. +(west of Livernois around McNichols). +There's a whole bunch of nice stuff happening along the riverfront, from downtown up towards Stroh Place. +$1,900! +And there's always Belle Isle. +Some of us (and lots of New Yorkers) pay that much in rent every month! +When friends come to Detroit, I take them there. +It's our in-the-river park, 982 acres of green space, with a zoo, a botanical garden and conservatory, rentable paddle boats, and tons of other neat stuff. +Next time you're in Detroit, please head over. +Oh, and entry is free, so it's available to anyone regardless of economic status. +You're liable to see families picnicking, bums gathering bottles and cans, geese foraging, and deer cautiously wandering the edge of the woods. +Some of that cheap real estate isn't too horrible, either. +There's a whole street being taken over by artists, Farnsworth between Moran and McDougall. +Some of the things they've done down there are amazing, and the community garden is a great bridge to the surrounding neighborhood. +In fact, the article went on, soon a nearby house went on the market for $100. +America's Rust Belt is a swath of cities and towns that boomed during the Industrial Era and now lie -- well, rusting -- as empty remainders of glory days past. +A few weeks ago, someone broke into their shed to steal their garden tools. +Think about that for a moment, hoes and shovels don't have enough pawn value to be worth carrying out. +Yes, Detroit's got more than its share of bad spots, you're right. +But there are bright spots, and behind every one of them is a person, or a bunch of people, who refuse to give up. +Jessica 19. Sep, 2009 at 10:30 am +Myself -- Thanks for the comment and the great information. +The artist types notified their buddies, who moved in post haste. +You are exactly the kind of person who gives me back the hope I lost on my way into town. +Seems there's a pretty solid group of Detroit residents who are truly committed to restoring the city, and that's beautiful to see. +Love the fact that people are stealing garden implements (though it's still sad that they need to). +I will absolutely watch A City To Yourself, thank you for the recommendation. +And when I'm in the area again, I'll go out to Belle Isle and think long&hard about the future of American cities--as I'm sure you do occasionally too. +Reader Not Writer 20. Sep, 2009 at 10:17 pm +Well, growing up not far from Detroit myself, I would point out a few things: +I was intrigued. +See, there's a wee bit of loyalty to the Big 3 and driving a foreign car doesn't really scream "solidarity" to those struggling to survive. +Really? +A $100 house? +Most of the funny looks you got were less about your color than about your ride. +You think I'm kidding, but I couldn't be more serious -- that Honda is a visceral reminder for people of how the American consumer has left Detroit in the dust. +Even if it was a real fixer-upper, even if you really were better off tearing it down than living in it, that'd still be a hell of a deal. +2. Detroit (proper) has been dying for a long time -- before the 1968 riots, even. +Its going to take some pioneering individuals to start creating those pockets of innovation, creativity, and vision. +But its not going to happen with the investment of $100 into a single house. +The next moment, Acres was there. +Hands up in the same way mine were frozen. +We just looked at each other. +I guess, thinking back, I might have expected him to gloat, but the view was the kind of thing that humbles you, shuts your mouth. +We just stood looking at each other for a little while, I don't know how long. +What is it? +he wasn't the sort you'd call "Chuck." +A place. +I don't know. +I think this whole thing," he waved his hand at the horizon, "is one big machine. +And the markers were carved later, not be whoever built it. +Safe? +I looked around. +One thing this place didn't seem was safe. +Let me show you the rest. +He started walking down the steps and around a corner. +It would have taken plenty to surprise me after what I had already seen, but My jaw was banging against my shoelaces when I rounded that corner. +'m a linguistics researcher, Ed. +I'm not sure how something so big could have been hidden by that little turn in landscape, but maybe perspective doesn't work quite the same there. +Glaring down at me from no more than twenty feet away was a grimacing, thirty foot tall black face with staring, blue and white eyes and it wore a ridiculous little hat. +For some reason I thought of a giant clown face from a carnival ride, but it scared the hell out me. +Acres stood beside it and somehow using him as a yardstick for the scale of the thing made it easier to see. +It was a moai. +This is what I wanted to show you. +I looked down and saw he was pointing to another marker just slightly different from the one we had just left. +I was pretty rattled, but things fell together for me looking at the big statue, the Hawaiian shirt and the mark on the ground. +Easter Island? +Acres nodded. +It was all too much for me so I focused on the part I could handle. +So what does this have to do with gold? +You could step on that marker and make the gestures, the 'device,' and it would be like pushing a button in a very complex machine. +You would end up on a small hill on Rapa Nui. +You could step three feet to the right and do the same thing, and you would end up buried alive in a nearby rock face. +But I know how to make it take me anywhere. +He pulled a sheet of folded paper from his pocket and handed it to me. +It read, "Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service, Status Report of U.S. Treasury-Owned Gold." +He pointed to a row that read, "Deep Storage: Fort Knox, KY." +I sucked in a whole lot of air. +Anywhere? +Anywhere," he walked around the moai and came back wrestling with a big, heavy bar of gold. +Otherwise the vault is sealed. +Does anyone else know about this? +No, they would have been on Rapa Nui if they knew, ready to stop me. +This is the 400 ounces which I mentioned at the restaurant. +About $150,000 dollars at this morning's rate. +I looked at the sheet in my hand. +I had to read it twice. +I had never seen a dollar sign in front of that many number before. +I thought they didn't keep gold there anymore, just nerve gas. +The gold is still there. +How much can we sell before someone becomes suspicious? +Charles put the bar down and slid a web pouch over it with shoulder straps like a small backpack. +How's your um... business? +"None," I said and slipped the knife into his neck right at the base of his skull. +None +Call me small minded, but you know "a bird in the hand." +All that gold in Fort Knox was just too much for me to wrap my head around. +But I could handle a hundred and fifty-K easy, say seventy-five-K from the fence. +I slipped the little pouch over my back and wiped the knife on his jacket. +I waived down a waitress and ordered a cup of decaf and a slice of pie. +Then I made my way back to the little marker where we came in. +His mistake had been in telling me the same gesture opened the door the other way. +What if it didn't work? +So the icy wind at the top of the mound and the bright moon came as a real relief. +The gold was heavy on my back, and I was all the way to the car before I realized I had left the keys on Charles. +The highway patrol was just bound to come by then. +After that it was just connect the dots back to prison. +The rental car records pointed to Acres, and there was enough blood on the knife to match DNA from Acres comb in the motel. +They never bothered trying to explain how Acres made it into the country without a ticket on a plane or a boat. +I didn't like his tone much. +But they speculated all through the trial about where the gold came from, offered me deals. +The prosecution liked the idea that Acres was my smuggler's mule. +I was a one man gold cartel in the news. +"So you sure you're not a cop, Charles?" +I'm just wondering what they'll think when they open that vault in Kentucky. +And I still wonder why Charles picked me? +Maybe he didn't know anybody else with "connections." +Acres said it was dangerous, but maybe I could find my way back to the mound or Easter Island even. +I figure it can't be worse than the lethal injection that's waiting for me at dawn. +I stared him down until he flinched. +I don't really believe I'll make it or I wouldn't say a thing. +But if I do make it, it won't matter what I tell you, because there won't be a jail that can hold me. +Wish me luck. +I out of here. +As I did, I noticed just how tired he looked around the eyes. +I knew every cop in Fairport and quite a few of the state police in Iowa, and I couldn't see them bringing old Charles in as a ringer. +'m not a cop +He sighed and went on in softer, sadder voice, "I guess I'm a thief now." +Hold it. +I looked around. +Charles might be for real, but he was still going to get me in deep trouble. +Let's make real clear right now that you were joking, buddy. +Otherwise this conversation is over. +I've got a parole officer to explain things to, and he wouldn't like that kinda talk. +Right. +Right. +Sorry. +Charles looked out the window at the passing traffic push through dirty slush for awhile. +Like I was saying. +I'm a researcher, I've come into some valuable material that I would like to find a buyer for, and I don't want to have to explain myself to anyone. +He said he had a "business proposition" for me. +The pie came and I waited until the waitress was gone, before going on, "Why me?" +You were the first person who came to mind. +First person? +Twenty years out of high school? +How much of this 'valuable material' are we talking about? +Four Hundred ounces for a start. +I pulled out my palm phone and looked up a number. +That's alot. +He drained the last of his cup and tossed some bills on the table. +I'm staying in town. +Let me show you something. +He sounded surprised and said no, he needed me to help him get rid of "a large quantity of gold." +Charles might not look like much, but I hadn't made it through my life taking that kind of chance. +I put away the cell and used the motion to cover checking the knife in my sleeve and used one leg to check the other in my sock. +I had been an amateur magician for years. +It never failed to amaze. +Sure. +Let's go," I said. +There was only one chair, so I sat on the edge of the bed as he handed me a book open to a picture of some sort of stone tablet. +Rapa Nui," he said, "Easter Island. +This codex is one of the few remaining examples of a form of writing known as 'rongorongo. +For a long time no one was able to decipher it, although by deduction, Steven Fischer deciphered some of it in nineteen ninety four. +I told him I'd meet him for coffee at the diner down the street at seven. +He mostly read creation stories off objects like the 'Santiago Staff' which said things like, 'All the birds copulated with fish: There issued forth the sun. +But he ignored the inscriptions on skulls and the 'Birdman' statuette. +It was those clues that started all of this. +I didn't see much money in hieroglyphic porn. +He talked on about people with long ears who built the big statues, the "moai" and people with short ears who conquered the people with long ears and ate them and how the short eared people didn't really know the secrets of the long ears and had pulled down all the moai statues and destroyed some of the tablets. +And how the missionaries came and the converted natives had destroyed more. +He flipped pages to another image, "But notice something here in the arrangement of the moai. +See here how they form a pattern, very similar to this? +He pulled out a small leather diary and opened it to a yellowed page marked with yet another small sticky note. +I didn't see much resemblance except maybe there were about the same number of points in the cat's cradle thing in the diary and the number of dots on the map showing places where statues stood in a thin line around the coast of the island. +he was already there, sitting in a booth, warming his hands on a cup of coffee. +This is the diary of a mysterious explorer named Samuel Curlew who investigated a Mound Builder site in this area in the early eighteen hundreds. +He closed the little book and just about hugged it with satisfaction. +I want to show you that mound. +You know it was these very mounds that originally sparked my interest in history, archeology and then linguistics. +And this mound is where you found gold? +I was confused enough I let the "G word" slip. +Was this some crazy treasure hunt? +Or maybe this guy was just a wacko who wanted to take me out on a dark road and kill me. +No, it's more complicated than that, but I need to show you the mound for you to understand. +He looked like jerked meat on the bone. +The drawings and the books seemed to wake him up. +I was having serious cash flow issues back then and had payments to make, so I said, "yes," but my patience was running out. +Charles Acres called me on a Thursday afternoon, just like that. +It was dark as we left. +The drive was shorter than I expected. +He was wearing a new jacket and snow boots, but he had on a Hawaiian shirt underneath and khaki shorts of all things. +When he killed the headlights there was no light but moonlight and stars on a light dusting of snow. +A low, black hill blocked the sky right in front of us. +We spent the next hour stomping around the hill while he said things like, "it was right here." +My patience was long gone, and I was back in the car to warming up when Acres tapped on the window and told me he had found whatever he was looking for. +It looked like a bamboo walking stick. +"This is it," he leaned down and motioned for me to look at something on the ground. +This is it +I casually slid a knife into my palm just in case. +See how the lines form the pattern in the journal, the same one as the moai. +"So you drew this?" I asked vaguely, slow to catch on. +So you drew this? +He looked hurt and rapped on the ground with his finger. +It's stone. +Ancient. +For the first time he looked cold and stiff in his tourist gear, making me glad I was in a suit. +His tan was obviously deep and old, but it looked like a work tan, not the kind you get at the beach. +Here stand beside me," he said. +I'm not sure if I can take you with me so I need to show you the device. +Device? +I expected him to pull out a gadget with blinking lights and was wondering which way to duck. +It's like sleight of hand. +OK, watch and remember this. +I'm going to do it in two parts, last part first so it won't take effect. +Remember to reverse the two parts when you actually do it. +Stunned I watched as he made several ridiculous passes with his hands paused and nodded then did a sort of sign language stutter of some sort. +"Mnemonic." I muttered, which seemed to please him. +Mnemonic. +Yes. +They help in remembering steps in a ritual or ceremonial gestures. +Now you do it. +He smiled and I could see his teeth in the moonlight. +I wanted to slug him, but he had the keys to the car back and I figured I'd humor him while I figured out how to get them without violating my parole. +I even swapped the two parts as he had asked. +I thought he was surprised at my dexterity when his jaw dropped, but he shouted, "No!" just before everything changed. +I was standing on a perfectly flat square of dark stone. +For as far as I could see by a weak, gray light the stone stepped up and down making little hills and terraces and platforms. +I seemed to be somewhere in the middle -- there was as much above as below. +So, the mining business is treating you pretty good, huh Charles? +I was in shock. +We receive no government funding. +The only way we can continue to provide guide dogs, at no cost, to someone who is blind or visually impaired, is through your support. +Friends like you make it possible to give the gift of “Second Sight®”. +“Second Sight®” +I hope the Foundation can count on your caring donation today. +And having a guide dog does make a real difference in the lives of our students. +“Second Sight” +It’s the special bond — of a loving and working 24 hour a day partnership. +“As a boy in Bosnia, I walked my dog. +“As a boy in Bosnia, I walked my dog.

For more information about the Guide Dog Foundation, or to become a Guide Dog Foundation volunteer, visit our website at www.guidedog.org. +For too many, this is a daily reality — but today you can help make a difference. +Having a guide dog allows a blind or visually impaired individual to experience the possibilities of life, not the limitations. +For The Blind, Inc. +It costs over $20,000 to breed, care for and train a guide dog like “Duke” and to train his blind teammate. +We use Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and a cross between Labs and Goldens. +Male and female dogs are used. +And our dogs are specially bred for temperament and physical soundness. +It’s people like you who make it possible to give the priceless gift of “Second Sight” . +Every Foundation guide dog is given free of charge to someone who is blind or visually impaired. +We are supported entirely by donations from generous individuals, corporations and foundations. +Tonight was for observation. +I didn't bother trying to seek out a different group of potentially more interesting people, though. +They all looked the same: clusters of social butterflies surrounded by the less apt, the hangers-on, the circle with whom the gossip was shared. +I wondered at the ship instead. +All the fine food and the ornamental lighting, it had to be exorbitantly pricey to maintain. +If the barkeep was any indication, I suspected similarly high-class robots fulfilled other positions on the ship. +How they were all powered was a mystery—as good as the technology got, a quality robot like that was still an energy sink. +It was the brain, mostly; the amount of information the machine had to process to be able to function at the level it did ate up a lot of resources. +Sarah's crowd took turns taking my champagne flute to the bar to be refilled, all seemingly pleased to have a new set of ears to talk at. +By the end of the evening, when I finally followed the slow trickle of people out of the room, a satisfying haze had settled on my mind. +It was nice, I decided. +This ship. +This life. +Did it truly matter what the ship's origin was and why Jefferson had saved me, if now, I was content? +Fact: It's easy to fall into patterns. +I would wake late, checking the clock on my room's lightscreen to make sure I hadn't slept through brunch. +I would join the rest of the ship for meals, and I would take my turn in the weight room. +I would watch old films on the entertainment screens, taking mental notes for later dinnertime discussions. +I would immerse myself in new virtual reality flicks. +I would attend afternoon dance classes, so that when the evening dances came around (modeled after the historical social gatherings of several hundred years prior), I would be less of an embarrassment to myself. +So, twenty-four hours. +I did not ask questions. +I told myself I should. +I told myself that tonight, the observation period would end and I'd start puzzling out the ship's mystery. +But I fell under the ship's sway. +Give or take. +Bereft of my previous familiar life, I latched onto Kishori and Ray and Zheng, and Sarah with Alexis dragged along on her arm now and then (he was mostly her favorite dancing partner; she confided to us one night that his conversational skills left something to be desired). +About the time I was composing my last words in my head, trying not to think too much about what suffocating felt like, that's when I heard a bell. +I smothered thoughts of friends back on Earth—this was my long-awaited vacation, my clean break and my temporary retreat; I'd try contacting those friends tomorrow. +I continued to care little for shipwide gossip, but our discussions of films and flicks, old and new, brought out my artistic, story-loving, argumentative side, a side of me I'd tucked into a back storage compartment during my years as an engineer. +It was a good life, if surreal. +But I wasn't sure I wanted the dream stage to end. +Fact: Some places are timeless. +Days passed, weeks passed, but I couldn't tell if it had been months or years since I was rescued. +All there was, all I remembered, was a blur. +Gathering for drinks in the parlors, playing dress up with all the fine clothes I found in the closets (some of it modern, some of it period dress for special themed events), idling in the lounges. +Now and then, a new face mingled in the crowd. +Other faces washed out, fading into the backdrop of carpets and fake glass chandeliers and the muted hum of the engines. +So when my shuttle malfunctioned and the airlocks didn't keep the air in, I heard nothing. +One of these evenings, we were gathered in the South Ballroom for post-dinner drinks, lounging on couches and watching other members of our populace move in circles on the dance floor. +(The 'South' was in the title to suggest that there were more ballrooms. +'South' +There weren't.) +Sarah's circle had picked up another newcomer, Adrienne, a short blond girl who we all agreed was barely old enough to attend a traditional university back on Earth, let alone work on the ship in whose wreck Jefferson had found her. +My first thought: I was going crazy. +Maybe it was her curiosity, asking a question I should have asked long before, that turned the conversation serious; maybe there was just something special about that evening. +Maybe we had all tired of the frivolity of our life, hitting some threshold or some breaking point. +We dredged up half-fledged theories and inchoate explanations, tossing these out the same way we pitched ideas about the art films. +“I believe we'll see the end of the universe,” +Captain's cohort, she had a glass of orange-brown liquid in one hand; it might have been orange juice and some kind of berry liquor. +She swirled it speculatively. +I watched Adrienne. +“Impossible,” +“Impossible,” said Zheng, sitting in the chair to her left. +“We can't live that long.” +“Maybe the universe will end sooner than you think,” +Yeah, the captain was there, with the rest of us. +He didn't drink, but he made a point of mingling with all the various cliques. +“Maybe we'll travel at the speed of light and we won't age,” +“Maybe we'll travel at the speed of light and we won't age,” said Sarah, setting her wine glass on the little round end table by her couch. +“Maybe we're already traveling at the speed of light.” +Tiffany, she nodded eagerly. +“Relatively says it all.” +Zheng scoffed. +“Also impossible. +“Also impossible. Even if we were traveling at ninety-nine percent of the speed of light—that's assuming you ignore science and pretend that such a thing is possible, because it isn't—we'd still age. We'd just appear to age slower than people not traveling as fast as us.” +Even if we were traveling at ninety-nine percent of the speed of light—that's assuming you ignore science and pretend that such a thing is possible, because it isn't—we'd still age. +We'd just appear to age slower than people not traveling as fast as us.” +“And?” +said Sarah. +“Aging is relative, anyway. +“Aging is relative, anyway. Besides, I wouldn't mind being around forever. Give our ancestors purpose. Keep their dreams alive.” +Besides, I wouldn't mind being around forever. +Give our ancestors purpose. +Keep their dreams alive.” +In fact, the opposite: We're all going to die.” +“Bleak,” commented Zheng. +“But I like it.” +Ray took a drink from his glass of ice water, and shook his head. +“We're all going to die, so what better thing to do than enjoy the time we have?” +Tiffany took a drink, thinking. +“All the luxuries money can buy,” +“All the luxuries money can buy,” she echoed. +Zheng looked skeptical. +“Paid for how?” +“Smuggling,” responded Kishori. +Matter-of-fact. +“Think about it,” +“Think about it,” Kishori continued, “where else would we get the money to buy all this?” +“where else would we get the money to buy all this?” +“Renegade smugglers. So what's our cargo, eh, captain?” +So what's our cargo, eh, captain?” +Zheng joked, leaning back in his chair with his glass of wine. +“I'll leave you to your speculation,” +Now, there were two things here that made ridiculously small amounts of sense. +He set his glass down on an end table, steepled his fingers together. +“We're revolting,” +“We're revolting,” he told us. +“And I don't mean that you disgust me. +“And I don't mean that you disgust me. No, we're the start of a rebellion. Did you hear what the captain said earlier? He means, we're going to change the future. The universe as we know it won't be the same.” +No, we're the start of a rebellion. +Did you hear what the captain said earlier? +The universe as we know it won't be the same.” +“That's dumb,” +“That's dumb,” said Sarah. +“Wouldn't we know it if we were part of a rebellion? +Zheng shook his head. +“The captain selected us for a reason. +“The captain selected us for a reason. He has inside intelligence—how else would he know where to find us? He knows about us.” +He has inside intelligence—how else would he know where to find us? +He knows about us.” +“That's still dumb,” +“That's still dumb,” said Sarah. +“Inside intelligence? +“Inside intelligence? Don't you remember, there's not exactly one big galactic government from which to steal information.” +Don't you remember, there's not exactly one big galactic government from which to steal information.” +First, the whole in-a-vacuum why's-there-a-bell thing. +“I still like my idea,” +“I still like my idea,” said Tiffany. +Jefferson didn't share how he found people. +But then again, no one asked. +I guess we all figured, he knew what he was doing. +I wondered if Adrienne would ask about that. +“We're going to mean something,” +“We're going to mean something,” Zheng was saying. +“What we do, rebelling against the oppression of the many governments that oppose us, we're going to leave a legacy.” +Enthusiastic, even. +Ray, he shook his head, and broke the quiet he'd held most of the evening. +“You've got it all wrong.” +He looked from Sarah, to Adrienne, to Zheng, to Kishori and Tiffany, to me. +“Obviously, we can't last longer than the rest of the universe. +We aren't giving anyone purpose. +We're not even going to leave a legacy. +All we're doing is eating and drinking and shitting, breathing and fucking and nothing important, ever. +We aren't special.” +“Again, bleak,” +“Again, bleak,” commented Zheng. +Adrienne gestured for him to be quiet. +She leaned forward, setting her elbows on the foot stool in front of her. +“You never know when it will end,” +“You can't hold on forever, even if you don't ever, ever want to forget. +“You can't hold on forever, even if you don't ever, ever want to forget. How long until the memories slip away? How long until all you remember is this, the ship, the thick red carpeting, the chandeliers, the empty conversations you hold with the other shells who used to be people? When your life, the reason you lived, the people and faces and places, the emotions you felt, who and what you loved, when all that is gone, faded, what will you have left?” +How long until the memories slip away? +How long until all you remember is this, the ship, the thick red carpeting, the chandeliers, the empty conversations you hold with the other shells who used to be people? +I wondered how long Ray had been on this ship. +I wondered why, if he had such an unpropitious outlook, he hadn't tried to change his situation. +I wanted to ask, but he was still talking, and I was too self-conscious to interrupt. +“You can try to hold on,” said Ray. +“You can try and try and try. +Repeat stories to yourself in the artificial night, sketch faces in your mind. +But words, if you repeat them enough times, lose their meaning. +Emily emily em-ill-ee em-i-lee eh-mill-ee eh-mih-lee. +My wife's name, once. +Repeat it enough times, it's just a sound. +These signals were the heralds of my saviors. +No longer grounded.” +Ray, he said, “If we last forever, if our eyes are the last eyes watching as the stars blink out, it won't mean a thing to us. +We aren't angels. +We're just dumb and lucky.” +“Pure dumb luck,” +“Pure dumb luck,” he said. +“Struck a nerve, huh?” +said Zheng. +“Sorry,” +“Sorry,” said Ray. +“How long ago was that?” +asked Adrienne. +“Leaving your wife, I mean. +“Leaving your wife, I mean. Traveling on this ship.” +The first words they said to me meant nothing. +Ray, he looked down at his hands, folded together in his lap, fingers interlaced. +“I don't know,” +“I don't know,” he said. +We were all quiet for a moment. +Ray shrugged, then got up and left. +We let him go. +Silent. +Self-conscious. +More excuses were made, and after a few moments, only Adrienne and I were left sitting in the ballroom. +She looked across the circle of couches at me. +“What's your theory?” +I wasn't listening; I didn't care; I was going to live; I was going to keep breathing. +“Not that long,” +“Not that long,” I said. +“A couple weeks, I guess. Maybe a month or two.” +Maybe a month or two.” +“Why don't you know for sure?” +she asked. +I shrugged. +I hadn't been counting days. +“What did you do before this? +“What did you do before this? How were you found?” +How were you found?” +“I was an engineer.” +I explained how my ship had malfunctioned, no warning at all. +The explosions, the impossible rescue. +She nodded. +“The ship I was on, I guess that's what happened, too. +“The ship I was on, I guess that's what happened, too. Some vital part broke, and... well, boom. It was all so fast.” +well, boom. +It was all so fast.” +She took a sip of her drink, plain water because, she had explained earlier, she had never liked the taste of alcohol, then fixed her gaze on me. +“I'm going to figure it out,” +“I'm going to figure it out,” she said. +“How and why this ship exists. +“How and why this ship exists. I'll figure it out, then I'm going to find a way home.” +I'll figure it out, then I'm going to find a way home.” +I paced my room that night, unable to sleep. +The more I thought about it, the less sense the ship made. +Next to those, nothing else mattered. +Worse, Adrienne had made this clear to me with a single question. +Fact: Adrienne intimidated me. +Fact: It's too easy to fall into patterns. +I resolved to break the pattern. +Another evening, another chandeliered room, another swirl of conversations and dances and hor d'oevres. +Another circle of chairs and couches, another uncomfortable question. +The recycled air tasted sweet in my mouth, and all thoughts that crossed my mind were cheap metaphors about life-giving substances and how breathing was like sex, only better. +“Has anyone ever left?” +Adrienne looked at each of us in turn. +Ray exchanged a glance with Zheng. +Sarah frowned. +“Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Alexis in days. +“Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Alexis in days. I assumed he was indisposed.” +I assumed he was indisposed.” +Kishori nodded in agreement. +After the first whoosh of the air being sucked away, there was lightning, but no thunder. +I looked at Ray and raised an eyebrow. +“What?” +“Well,” +“Well,” Ray said, slowly, “People do leave. +“People do leave. The approximate number of people at any given event is always the same. But we see new faces.” +The approximate number of people at any given event is always the same. +Fact: Sound is a vibration. +asked Adrienne, using Sarah's phrasing. +Zheng shook his head and picked up a handful of candied pecans from a little dish on the end table. +“Keep adding people long enough, regardless, you get more overall. +“Keep adding people long enough, regardless, you get more overall. A couple people staying in their rooms, even if you switch out the people, won't make a difference.” +A couple people staying in their rooms, even if you switch out the people, won't make a difference.” +He dropped the pecans back into the dish, one by one. +“So where do they go?” +Adrienne focused on Zheng. +“Maybe a better question is, does anyone ever come back?” +Ray and Zheng exchanged another glance. +Kishori chewed her lip. +Sarah shrugged and sipped at her drink. +After a moment, Ray said, “I don't think so.” +“I don't think so.” +“Are there patterns?” +Adrienne asked. +“Who leaves?” +Again, there was an uncomfortable moment of silence. +I hazarded a guess. +“You don't notice, do you.” +Sarah looked indignant. +“Of course we notice. +“Of course we notice. But... well, no one important ever disappears, so it doesn't really matter, does it.” +But... well, no one important ever disappears, so it doesn't really matter, does it.” +I could tell she was trying to remember whom she had known who had left, and failing. +No one contradicted her. +No one offered a different answer. +I looked at Adrienne. +Mission accomplished: Our routine insouciance had been disrupted. +The scales had tipped. +(I reserved the right to revise this opinion later.) +From the looks on my companions' faces, I knew they were thinking the same. +“How long have you been here?” +The question, previously posed to me, was presented to the rest of our group (excluding Ray; Adrienne had been tactful enough to wait until he had gone for a refill, recalling the last time the subject was broached). +Sarah, she tilted her head and tapped a finger on the side of her wine glass. +A long time. +Got to be months and months, at least. +“You were here before I was,” +“You were here before I was,” said Kishori, “and so was Tiffany.” +When I was done mentally exclaiming over my impossible rescue, I looked around. +“and so was Tiffany.” +I looked at Zheng; he shrugged. +“Time passes in a weird way here. +“Time passes in a weird way here. I kept track for a while—thirty-eight days—but after that... I guess I didn't see the point.” +I kept track for a while—thirty-eight days—but after that... +I guess I didn't see the point.” +Fact: Some places are timeless. +“Why not?” +asked Adrienne. +“Days don't matter,” +“Days don't matter,” he said. +Tiffany nodded, but Kishori spoke before the other woman could. +“Why are you so interested?” +Adrienne met her gaze. +“I don't want to be here forever.” +“But we're not here forever,” +“But we're not here forever,” objected Sarah. +“Remember? +“Remember? Alexis left.” +Alexis left.” +“Disappeared,” +“Disappeared,” I corrected her. +“We don't know how or why he left. +“We don't know how or why he left. Or where he went.” +Zheng looked thoughtful. +He picked up his glass, swirled the liquid around, took a sip, then set the glass back down. +He glanced around at the rest of us. +“Do you want to leave?” +he asked. +“Could you live anywhere else now?” +I spoke up. +“Yes,” +“Yes,” I said. +“I wouldn't miss this, much.” +No one else said anything. +I watched Adrienne's eyes move from one face to the next. +Zheng, he addressed me again, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and an intense, steady gaze. +“You think that,” +“You think that,” he said, “but is it true? +Fact: It's too easy to fall into patterns. +Fact: I wasn't sure I wanted the dream stage to end. +My quarters felt stifling. +Asphyxiating my mind. +I sat sideways in the armchair, feet dangling over one arm, neck resting against the other, absently tracing invisible lines between the stars outside my window as I ruminated on the situation. +The lightscreen had proved singularly unhelpful. +There was a schedule advertising upcoming on-ship events, such as dance classes, craft sessions, and discussion groups, and a list of dinner invitations for me to respond to. +A menu of display options, allowing me to customize all the lightscreen's superficial characteristics. +A simple contact system for communicating with other people on the ship. +That was all. +A methodical search of my two adjoining rooms, the ample closet space, and the attached bathroom facility had similarly provided no fodder. +Furniture (dark wood, expensive, polished, no secret compartments), clothes, leftover tray of half-consumed food from the previous day's lunch, toiletries (complete with miniature bottles of sweet-smelling apricot honey lotion), lightscreen, me. +I was discouraged and frustrated. +I wanted to prove to Adrienne that I wanted solve the ship's mystery just as much as she did. +I wanted to find something, anything, that would prove all this was normal and sane. +And me, I guess I was one more piece in their puzzle. +I didn't want to think about disappearances and time and purposes and consequences. +I wanted my contentment back. +I cornered Adrienne at dinner that night. +In one hand I balanced my plate of star-shaped crackers, globs of elegant dips and garnishes, little rolled balls of meats and cheeses stabbed through with spears of some pale green plant, and an array of other delectable, bite-sized items. +My other hand pointedly steered Adrienne to a small table against a wall. +She glared at me, but obediently let me pull her along. +“Tell me,” +I was one more scrap to weld onto the rest, one more stranded survivor who was found. +“what you have found.” +It wasn't a question. +She gave me a grumpy look that informed me, quite clearly, of her current opinion of me. +“Not if you're going to be rude about it.” +I sighed. +“Sorry.” +I wasn't, not really, but I'd lie to get the conversation going. +“I want to know.” +I explained, in two brief sentences, my earlier impasse. +“I don't know much,” +“I don't know much,” she said, still annoyed but at least cooperative. +She reviewed the information gleaned from our previous dinner conversations, adding, “I heard the captain say something yesterday, as I walking to the Pyrope Parlor. +“I heard the captain say something yesterday, as I walking to the Pyrope Parlor. I was just coming up on a corner and he was around the other side, talking to a couple people, and they must not have known I was there. He said something about a wreck going well. And listen, when they came round the corner, Ray was with the captain.” +I was just coming up on a corner and he was around the other side, talking to a couple people, and they must not have known I was there. +And listen, when they came round the corner, Ray was with the captain.” +I was now one of them. +“Is there a doctor on board?” +asked Adrienne. +“I've been having headaches.” +This story, it's our story. +“Down past the Emerald Lounge, second door on the left. +“Down past the Emerald Lounge, second door on the left. All hours.” +A robot, then. +Medical AI were even more expensive than the barkeep. +I wondered how many people it treated. +Had anyone on the ship ever fallen seriously ill? +The survivors of the unfortunate accidents, the catastrophic malfunctions, the fateful crashes: this is us. +“Does he age?” +asked Adrienne. +“The captain?” +I shrugged. +“I never thought about it.” +“That doesn't answer my question,” +“That doesn't answer my question,” she said. +Adrienne only picked at her food. +“Not hungry?” +asked Kishori sympathetically. +“No,” +“No,” said Adrienne. +“At least have a drink,” +“At least have a drink,” said Sarah. +“I find it takes the edge off.” +“Maybe that's the problem,” +“Maybe that's the problem,” said Sarah. +“One hundred and forty-seven is a magic number,” said Sarah. +“You ever heard of Dunbar? +“You ever heard of Dunbar? Well, we've got the perfect-size group right here.” +Well, we've got the perfect-size group right here.” +Just enough for us all to be able to barely avoid killing each other. +“Why doesn't anyone mutiny?” +Adrienne asked. +“We can't,” +“What would we do?” +Adrienne shook her head and made a sound of disgust. +“You could force the captain to set down somewhere. +“You could force the captain to set down somewhere. Let us off the ship. If he refuses, threaten him. If he still refuses, well, of all of us, isn't there someone who can drive a ship?” +Let us off the ship. +If he refuses, threaten him. +If he still refuses, well, of all of us, isn't there someone who can drive a ship?” +Floating alone, each of us facing the silence of the vacuum, we were found. +“That's murder,” +“That's murder,” objected Sarah. +“That's survival, ” +Times like that, running on less sleep than I should, alone because everyone else had had the sense to retire for the night, I had a tendency to get all meditative about the universe and my place in it. +The stillness of the room contributed, as did the view. +Black and more black, speckled by tiny points of light that flared up to break the emptiness, if only for a brief time. +All of it was temporary, save for the black. +That was tonight's melodramatic theme: the ephemeral nature of life. +Once found, we can never be lost. +Everything temporary. +Eyes bulging in panic, but no screams. +Some things in this world, we have to make them permanent ourselves. +This is our Hotel California. +He had made us a constant. +He made this ship—this life—a constant. +The one thing that was known. +Maybe everything we did, all the stories we told, maybe it was all lies. +We can never leave. +But ultimately, this ship, its purpose, our purpose—did it matter? +We each had our own theory. +Maybe that was enough. +And all of us, we were permanent characters in each others' stories. +“So, I'm on a ship now? +Maybe that made us more real. +Maybe it made us feel less alone. +“Mind if I join you?” +I turned to see Adrienne in the doorway. +She smiled, then crossed the room to join me by the window, not waiting for an answer. +“Some nights,” +You do this a lot?” +“I can't see the meaning in any of it. All these things I do, they're just to pass the time until I die.” +All these things I do, they're just to pass the time until I die.” +Adrienne looked at me, then back out through the window. +“You don't see a meaning because there is no meaning,” +“You don't see a meaning because there is no meaning,” she said. +A woman, introduced as Tiffany and neither tall nor beautiful, shrugged. +After all of it, as much as we feared being alone, we feared being vulnerable even more. +“Look what I found,” +“Look what I found,” Adrienne said. +In her hands was a bottle. +And what happens to Adrienne? +I couldn't find her. +Jefferson was in the Captain's Lounge, +Fact: Sound is a vibration. +“Up his dosage,” +“Up his dosage,” I heard the captain say. +I didn't want to forget. +I didn't want to be harvested. +The last thing I remember, I was tearing down the corridors. +“Now and then.” +Life boats, I thought. +Every ship had life boats. +In case of emergency, break glass. +I'd find one. +I'd put on a space suit, I'd get out of this ship, I'd find civilization again. +“What about my crewmates? +“What about my crewmates? Why didn't you save them?” +A space station. +Some other ship. +Any place but this place. +Failing all else, I'd suffocate. +Alone. +Ray, he caught me as I pounded on the corridor walls, finding no glass to break. +“Relax,” he told me, sliding a needle into my arm. +Why didn't you save them?” +“It'll pass,” he told me. +He held me in his arms until I stopped flailing. +It passed. +This is my Hotel California. +I can never leave. +As much as Jesse had irritated me, I didn't like the picture my brain drew of him floating in his grave, body swollen and bloated. +Who would tell his girl how he had died? +Quiet and peaceful, right? +“Couldn't,” +“Couldn't,” said the captain. +Jefferson, he called himself, clean-shaven and smart, a picture of the perfect entrepreneur. +“We're selective about our passengers,” +“We're selective about our passengers,” he continued. +“You fit the bill. +Such a relief to never again hear my crewmate Jesse natter about his girl back on Earth and that all-expenses-paid vacation-for-two she won last time he was on leave. +They didn't.” +Tiffany, she looked at the captain, grinned and flipped her greasy brown locks over her shoulder. +She turned to me. +“Come on,” +“Come on,” she said, before I could say anything else, “let's get you settled in.” +>Hotel California +“let's get you settled in.” +No time for questions. +No time for answers. +The ship had all the usual accoutrements (artificial gravity, tastefully painted walls, sound dampeners to keep the noise of the engines from driving the crew batshit insane, recycled air systems), and a few less-usual: lush carpeting, lighting that was decorative as well as functional, spacious corridors. +The occasional painting hung on the wall (generic landscapes and portraits of old people no one has ever met, primarily). +Glimpses of elegant rooms down the branching hallways; music; voices; the aroma of real food. +This was heaven. +“Where are we going?” +I asked. +Tiffany looked back. +“To your quarters. +“To your quarters. It's not far; you're not going to get blisters.” +It's not far; you're not going to get blisters.” +“No, I meant, where's the ship going? +“No, I meant, where's the ship going?

I'm Sarah, and this is Alexis—you must be the new pickup.” +She looked me over approvingly. +I looked longingly at the slices of cheddar olive bread as she whisked me over to the bar, but didn't protest. +The bar was manned by an expensive humanoid robot. +It turned toward Sarah's wave and acknowledged her with a nod, moments later setting a fluted glass of sparkling liquid in front of her. +I marveled at the robot's smoothness and coordination. +Clearly, it was a high-end model. +Sarah transferred the glass to my free hand and pulled me away from the bar for more introductions, with Alexis trailing after us. +I spent the evening listening, mostly. +Listening and stuffing my face with all the bits of fine food provided. +No one minded; Sarah's inner circle was content to fill our circle of couches with plenty of chatter. +Ray, a plump man who was grey where he wasn't bald. +Zheng, short and dark and lean, with a very intense gaze. +He made me a little uncomfortable. +I categorized them based on their appearances, hoping I'd be able to pick them out of the crowd again later. +This is more than the person would have sans space suit. +Most of their chatter was meaningless to me—stories of day-to-day activities, how so-and-so had been seen in so-and-so's table at lunch and my wasn't that a surprise, and why hadn't the chef concocted this delectable a selection of appetizers for the dance the other night, but of course those rolled meat pastries reminded one of the pastries back on Earth, didn't they, and this was somehow an interesting fact. +After the first half-hour, I stopped expending effort to keep names and stories and gossip straight. +“milk-fed” +“accidental” +And almost 6,000,000 companion pets are put to death in shelters throughout America. +What is even more shocking, is that more than 30 million animals die these cruel, painful deaths each year ... +needless deaths that could have been stopped! +And with so much animal cruelty and suffering going on, I’m sure you can understand why the work of The Humane Society of the United States is so vitally important and why we need the support of many other people, like you, to help us bring an end to animal suffering, abuse and neglect. +Since 1954, our programs and activities have been aimed at stopping and eliminating all animal abuse and we continue to spend a great deal of time investigating animal cruelty cases and working with the courts to prosecute the guilty parties. +We also work hard and lobby for better animal welfare laws at the local, state and federal government levels and we insist they enforce existing laws to prevent animal cruelty. +Your name -- and the name of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) -- are very important to the well-being of all animals because together we can prevent suffering and save lives. +Our primary goal, though, has always been to stop the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals before it happens, so we teach the public about the need to protect all animals from suffering, abuse and exploitation. +But while our programs and activities have been successful in reducing animal cruelty, we are constantly faced with new problems of animal suffering which need immediate attention and drain our resources. +It’s a difficult problem, because we have to fight the well-financed and powerful agri-business and research industries, but we do our best to protect the animals. +Right now, the problems are mounting and we need all the help we can get to stop animal cruelty. +And that’s where you can help. +You can be a lifesaving “friend” to all animals by telling friends and family about the important work of The HSUS and asking them to become vigilant in safe-guarding the lives of ALL animals. +“friend” +Today, we are placing special emphasis on pet adoption. +I hope you will visit your local animal shelter and consider adopting a dog or cat into your home. +Dear Friend of Animals, +It’s a wonderful way to enjoy their companionship and save the life of a loving animal, too. +I also hope you will give a big boost to our work to protect all animals by sending a generous tax-deductible donation today. +Your gift of at least $5 or $10 or even $15, will help The HSUS save millions of animals. +I know you care deeply for the well-being of all animals. +Please help us carry this message to others so that animal cruelty and abuse can be eliminated. +Sincerely, President +But your help of $5 or $10 or even $15 is absolutely needed today. +Please take this moment to be as generous as possible to send your best gift today, and don’t forget to use your free colorful pet stickers and name labels enclosed. +I wish I could tell you that everyone is concerned about protecting earth’s animals -- dogs, cats, farm animals and wildlife. +Thanks in advance. +NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20037. +OR IN FLORIDA— A COPY OF THE OFFICIAL REGISTRATION AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAY BE

Walbrecher Jr., an executive at San Francisco-based 1st Nationwide Bank, was named president and chief executive officer of Citadel Holding Corp. and its principal operating unit, Fidelity Federal Bank. +The latest results include some unusual write-downs, which had an after-tax impact of $4.9 million. +Those included costs associated with the potential Valley Federal Savings and Loan Association acquisition, which was terminated on Sept. 27, 1989. +In addition, operating results were hit by an increase in loan and real estate loss reserves. +In American Stock Exchange composite trading, Citadel shares closed yesterday at $45.75, down 25 cents. +The British paper, packaging and publishing concern, said profit from continuing lines fell 10% to #118 million from #130.6 million. +While there were no one-time gains or losses in the latest period, there was a one-time gain of #18 million in the 1988 period. +And while there was no profit this year from discontinued operations, last year they contributed #34 million, before tax. +Reed International PLC said that net income for the six months ended Oct. 1 slipped 5% to #89.7 million ($141.9 million), or 16 pence a share, from #94.8 million ($149.9 million), or 17.3 pence a share. +Pretax profit fell 3.7% to #128 million from #133 million and was below analysts' expectations of #130 million to #135 million, but shares rose 6 pence to 388 pence in early trading yesterday in London. +Reed is paying an interim dividend of 4.6 pence, up 15% from 4 pence a year earlier. +Sales fell 20% to #722 million. +Earnings were hurt by disposal of operations in its restructuring, Reed said. +Sales, however, were little changed at 2.46 billion guilders, compared with 2.42 billion guilders. +The Dutch chemical group said net income gained to 235 million guilders ($113.2 million), or 6.70 guilders a share, from 144 million guilders, or 4.10 guilders a share, a year ago. +The 32% state-owned DSM had eight million guilders of extraordinary charges in the latest quarter, mainly to reflect one-time losses in connection with the disposal of some operations. +N.V. DSM said net income in the third quarter jumped 63% as the company had substantially lower extraordinary charges to account for a restructuring program. +The charges were offset in part by a gain from the sale of the company's construction division. +The earnings growth also was fueled by the company's ability to cut net financing spending by half to around 15 million guilders. +Also, substantially lower Dutch corporate tax rates helped the company keep its tax outlay flat relative to earnings growth, the company added. +The Rockford, Ill., maker of fasteners also said it expects to post sales in the current fiscal year that are "slightly above" fiscal 1989 sales of $155 million. +"slightly above" +The company said its industrial unit continues to face margin pressures and lower demand. +In fiscal 1989, Elco earned $7.8 million, or $1.65 a share. +The company's stock fell $1.125 to $13.625 in over-the-counter trading yesterday. +Elco Industries Inc. said it expects net income in the year ending June 30, 1990, to fall below a recent analyst's estimate of $1.65 a share. +The truck maker said the significant drop in net income will result in lower earnings for the fiscal year. +In fiscal 1988, the company earned $17.3 million, or $1.92 a share, on revenue of $352.9 million. +Oshkosh Truck attributed the downturn in its earnings to higher start-up costs of its new chassis division, a softer motor-home market and higher administrative costs of compliance with government contractor regulations. +Oshkosh Truck Corp., Oshkosh, Wis., estimated earnings for its fourth quarter ended Sept. 30 fell 50% to 75% below the year-earlier $4.5 million, or 51 cents a share. +The company said it is in the process of phasing out John Deere, its current source of production for midsized motor home chassis. +In anticipation of the start-up of its new factory, the company said a larger-than-normal chassis supply has been built to carry it through the transition period. +The year-ago results included a $415 million charge in the 1988 second quarter for underperforming real estate and mortgage loans. +Net advanced to $94.2 million, or 89 cents a share, from $85 million, or 83 cents a share, including net realized investment gains of $31 million, up from $10 million a year ago. +But revenue declined to $3 billion from $3.2 billion. +Travelers Corp. 's third-quarter net income rose 11%, even though claims stemming from Hurricane Hugo reduced results $40 million. +The insurer's earnings from commercial property/casualty lines fell 59% in the latest quarter, while it lost $7.2 million in its personal property/casualty business, compared with earnings of $6.1 million a year ago. +Travelers's employee benefits group, which includes its group health insurance operations, posted earnings of $24 million, compared with a loss of $3 million last year. +In the first nine months, net was $306 million, compared with a loss of $195 million in the 1988 period. +Primerica, which had owned nearly 70% of Williams, will pay about 16.7 million shares, currently valued at almost $472 million, for the rest of Williams. +The financial-services company will pay 0.82 share for each Williams share. +Williams shares, which were to be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange after the close of composite trading yesterday, closed at $23.25, off 12.5 cents.

raises Ratners's U.S. presence to 450 stores. +About 30% of Ratners's profit already is derived from the U.S. +The Van Nuys, Calif., thrift had net income of $132,000, or three cents a share, a year ago. +The bulk of the pretax charge is a $62 million write-off of capitalized servicing at the mobile home financing subsidiary, which the company said had been a big drain on earnings. +The company said the one-time provision would substantially eliminate all future losses at the unit. +Valley Federal Savings & Loan Association took an $89.9 million charge as it reported a third-quarter loss of $70.7 million, or $12.09 a share. +Valley Federal also added $18 million to realestate loan reserves and eliminated $9.9 million of good will. +The thrift said that "after these charges and assuming no dramatic fluctuation in interest rates, the association expects to achieve near record earnings in 1990." +"after these charges and assuming no dramatic fluctuation in interest rates, the association expects to achieve near record earnings in 1990." +Valley Federal is currently being examined by regulators. +New loans continue to slow; they were $6.6 million in the quarter compared with $361.8 million a year ago. +The thrift has assets of $3.2 billion. +Midwest Financial has $2.3 billion in assets and eight banks. +The Midwest Financial subsidiary banks will continue to operate under their current names until early 1990, when each will adopt the First of America name. +Kalamazoo, Mich.-based First of America said it will eliminate the 13 management positions of the former Midwest Financial parent company. +But it said that severance payments to those executives not staying with the company will reduce First of America's operating results for 1989 by $3 million to $4 million, or 15 cents to 20 cents a share. +Under the plan, unsecured creditors, who are owed about $430 million, would receive about $92 million, or 21 cents for each dollar they are owed. +After these payments, about $225,000 will be available for the 20 million common shares outstanding. +Coleco Industries Inc., a once high-flying toy maker whose stock peaked at $65 a share in the early 1980s, filed a Chapter 11 reorganization plan that provides just 1.125 cents a share for common stockholders. +The Avon, Conn., company's stock hit a high in 1983 after it unveiled its Adam home computer, but the product was plagued with glitches and the company's fortunes plunged. +But Coleco bounced back with the introduction of the Cabbage Patch dolls, whose sales hit $600 million in 1985. +But as the craze died, Coleco failed to come up with another winner and filed for bankruptcy-law protection in July 1988. +The plan was filed jointly with unsecured creditors in federal bankruptcy court in New York and must be approved by the court. +Sony Columbia Acquisition Corp., formed for the Columbia deal, will formally take ownership of the movie studio later this month, a spokesman said. +Sony is paying $27 a share, or $3.55 billion, cash and is assuming $1.4 billion of long-term debt. +Still unresolved is Sony's effort to hire producers Jon Peters and Peter Guber to run the studio. +Sony Corp. completed its tender offer for Columbia Pictures Entertainment Inc., with Columbia shareholders tendering 99.3% of all common shares outstanding by the Tuesday deadline. +Sony's planned acquisition of Guber/Peters Entertainment Co. for $200 million is scheduled to close Monday. +Guber/Peters has been locked in litigation with Warner Communications Inc. in an attempt to get out of an exclusive production contract with Warner. +Both sides are in talks to settle the dispute. +A spokeswoman for Crum & Forster said employees were told early this week that numerous staff functions for the personal insurance lines were going to be centralized as a cost-cutting move. +She said the move would result in a after-tax charge of less than $4 million to be spread over the next three quarters. +By comparison, for the first nine months, Xerox earned $492 million, or $4.55 a share, on revenue of $12.97 billion. +Xerox Corp. has told employees in its Crum & Forster personal insurance operations that it is laying off about 300 people, or 25% of the staff. +Earnings at Xerox's financial-services operations actually rose slightly, but that was largely because capital gains at Crum & Forster offset Hurricane Hugo payments and the reserves set up to cover future payments. +Property/casualty insurance has been a tough business in recent quarters, as pricing has been cutthroat and natural disasters such as Hurricane Hugo and the California earthquake have resulted in huge payments. +"It's a cosmetic move," +"It's a cosmetic move," said Jonathan S. Gelles of Wertheim Schroder & Co. +According to Upjohn's estimates, only 50% to 60% of the 1,100 eligible employees will take advantage of the plan. +Upjohn further estimated that about 50% of the employees who leave for early retirement may be replaced. +As a result, Upjohn will likely trim only about 275 to 350 of its more than 21,000 jobs world-wide. +In composite trading on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, Upjohn shares rose 87.5 cents to $38.875 apiece. +An Upjohn spokesman said he had "heard nothing" to suggest the early retirement package was spurred by shareholder pressure or a potential bidder for the company, which occasionally has been the target of takeover speculation. +Upjohn officials said they couldn't estimate the size of the charge until they determine which employees, and how many, will participate in the retirement plan. +The company earlier this year adopted a shareholder-rights plan to ward off unwanted suitors. +The spokesman said it is the first early retirement plan offered under its two-year cost-control strategy. +Earlier staff-reduction moves have trimmed about 300 jobs, the spokesman said. +But the pharmaceutical company said it "anticipates the long-term savings resulting from the plan's implementation will more than offset short-term costs." +"anticipates the long-term savings resulting from the plan's implementation will more than offset short-term costs." +The program, available to Upjohn employees 55 years old or older, could increase an individual's retirement benefits 10% to 20%. +Upjohn Co. said it will offer an early retirement package to as many as 1,100 employees in a cost-cutting move expected to result in a fourth-quarter charge. +Chairman Theodore Cooper called the program part of the company's two-year strategy to implement budget constraints and "an effective headcount-control program." +"an effective headcount-control program." +But some analysts questioned how much of an impact the retirement package will have, because few jobs will end up being eliminated. +Oy Waertsilae is to contribute 200 million markkaa, most of it as subordinated debt, and take a minority stake in the new company. +Customers holding contracts for Waertsilae Marine's undelivered ships are expected to subscribe most of the remaining 170 million markkaa in share capital, government officials said. +Waertsilae Marine's biggest creditor is Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines Inc. Carnival, which has three ships on order from Waertsilae Marine, presented claims for $1.5 billion damages in the bankruptcy court this week. +"The situation is that the bankruptcy court will get out of the shipbuilding business. +Everything will be taken over by the new company," said Christian Andersson, executive vice president of Oy Waertsilae, former parent of Waertsilae Marine. +The Finnish government and major creditors of bankrupt shipyard Waertsilae Marine Industries Oy agreed in principle to form a new company to complete most of the troubled shipyard's backlog of 15 ships. +Once its ownership is finalized, the new company will open talks with state-appointed receivers to buy or lease Waertsilae Marine's shipyard facilities. +Subcontractors will be offered a settlement and a swift transition to new management is expected to avert an exodus of skilled workers from Waertsilae Marine's two big shipyards, government officials said. +Under an accord signed yesterday, the government and Union Bank of Finland would become major shareholders in the new company, each injecting 100 million Finnish markkaa ($23.5 million). +Ralston attributed its fourth-quarter slump partly to higher costs of ingredients in the pet food business as well as competitive pressures, which required higher advertising spending. +For the year, pet food volume was flat, the company said. +Its cereal division realized higher operating profit on volume increases, but also spent more on promotion. +The Continental Baking business benefited from higher margins on bread and on increased cake sales, it added. +Ralston said its Eveready battery unit was hurt by continuing economic problems in South America. +The St. Louis company earned $45.2 million, or 65 cents a share, compared with $84.9 million, or $1.24 a share, a year earlier. +Sales in the latest period were $1.76 billion, a 13% increase from last year's $1.55 billion. +For the year ended Sept. 30, Ralston earned $422.5 million, or $6.44 a share, up 8.9% from $387.8 million, or $5.63 a share. +Ralston Purina Co. reported a 47% decline in fourth-quarter earnings, reflecting restructuring costs as well as a more difficult pet food market. +This year's results included a gain of $70.2 million on the disposal of seafood operations. +Sales for the full year were $6.6 billion, up 13% from $5.8 billion. +Ralston said its restructuring costs include the phase-out of a battery facility in Greenville, N.C., the recent closing of a Hostess cake bakery in Cincinnati and a reduction in staff throughout the company. +The battery plant, which makes rechargeable nickel cadmium and carbon zinc products, will be closed over the next year or so, a spokesman said. +Any secret can be pirated, the experts said, if it is transmitted over the air. +They need only position themselves near a company's satellite dish and wait. +"You can have a dozen competitors stealing your secrets at the same time," Mr. Matchett said, adding : "It's a pretty good bet they won't get caught." +The only way to catch an electronic thief, he said, is to set him up with erroneous information. +Even though electronic espionage may cost U.S. firms billions of dollars a year, most aren't yet taking precautions, the experts said. +By contrast, European firms will spend $150 million this year on electronic security, and are expected to spend $1 billion by 1992. +That was the message delivered by government and private security experts at an all-day conference on corporate electronic espionage. +Still, encrypting corporate communications is only a partial remedy. +One expert, whose job is so politically sensitive that he spoke on condition that he wouldn't be named or quoted, said the expected influx of East European refugees over the next few years will greatly increase the chances of computer-maintenance workers, for example, doubling as foreign spies. +Moreover, he said, technology now exists for stealing corporate secrets after they've been "erased" from a computer's memory. +No personal computer, not even the one on a chief executive's desk, is safe, this speaker noted. +W. Mark Goode, president of Micronyx Inc., a Richardson, Texas, firm that makes computer-security products, provided a new definition for Mikhail Gorbachev's campaign for greater openness, known commonly as glasnost. +Under Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Goode said, the Soviets are openly stealing Western corporate communications. +He cited the case of a Swiss oil trader who recently put out bids via telex for an oil tanker to pick up a cargo of crude in the Middle East. +"Hostile and even friendly nations routinely steal information from U.S. companies and share it with their own companies," said Noel D. Matchett, a former staffer at the federal National Security Agency and now president of Information Security Inc., Silver Spring, Md. +Among the responses the Swiss trader got was one from the Soviet national shipping company, which hadn't been invited to submit a bid. +The Soviets' eavesdropping paid off, however, because they got the contract. +It "may well be" that theft of business data is "as serious a strategic threat to national security" as it is a threat to the survival of victimized U.S. firms, said Michelle Van Cleave, the White House's assistant director for National Security Affairs. +The conference was jointly sponsored by the New York Institute of Technology School of Management and the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association, a joint industry-government trade group. +We don't know who is winning the drug war in Latin America, but we know who's losing it -- the press. +Over the past six months, six journalists have been killed and 10 kidnapped by drug traffickers or leftist guerrillas -- who often are one and the same -- in Colombia. +An hour later, the paper's circulation manager, Miguel Soler, was shot and killed near his home. +El Espectador has been a special target because of the extraordinary courage of its publisher and his staff. +At Monterrey, publisher Luis Gabriel Cano, although shaken by the murders, issued a statement saying: "We will not cease our fight against drug trafficking. +They want to terrify the press and in particular El Espectador because it has always been a torchbearer in this war." +This comes from a man whose brother, Guillermo, was murdered in 1986. +The publishers in Monterrey command no battalions, but they agreed to express their outrage with editorials in today's editions. +Many will use a common editorial. +A final statement yesterday said: "While some advances are being made in nations throughout the hemisphere, the state of press freedom in the Americas still must be regarded as grim as long as journalists and their families are subject to the crudest form of censorship: death by assassination." +The report charged that Panama's Manuel Noriega is not only in league with the drug traffickers but also is bullying the press as never before. +It added: "In Cuba, public enemy No. 1 of press freedoms in the hemisphere, repression of journalists both Cuban and foreign is worse than ever." +Over the past 12 years, at least 40 journalists have died there. +And in Nicaragua, promises of press freedom by the Sandinistas "have not materialized." +As it happens, the four countries cited, Colombia, Cuba, Panama and Nicaragua, are not only where the press is under greatest attack but also are linked by the drug trade and left-wing politics. +Noriega is close to Castro and may once have been his agent. +Sandinistas Thomas Borge and the Ortega brothers are Castro proteges; he backed their takeover of Nicaragua. +In Colombia, the drug-financed guerrillas trying to seize the country and destroy democracy include M-19, which Castro has clearly backed. +Robert Merkel, a former U.S. attorney handling drug indictments in Florida, doesn't think for a minute that Castro's much publicized trials of high officials engaged in the drug trade mean he has broken off with the Medellin drug cartel. +The attacks have intensified since the Colombian government began cracking down on the traffickers in August, trying to prevent their takeover of the country. +"If the cartel succeeds in blackmailing the Colombian authorities into negotiations, the cartel will be in control and Fidel can exploit his past relationships with them," he told the Journal's David Asman recently. +The struggle against the drug lords in Colombia will be a near thing. +He will probably be extradited to the U.S. for trial under an extradition treaty President Virgilia Barco has revived. +Mr. Barco has refused U.S. troops or advisers but has accepted U.S. military aid. +President Bush has agreed to meet within 90 days with Mr. Barco, President Alan Garcia of Peru and President Jaime Paz Zamora of Bolivia to discuss the drug problem. +After the Panama fiasco, they will need some reassurance. +Certainly, the Colombian press is much in need of that. +The slaughter in Colombia was very much on the minds of 450 editors and publishers from Latin America, the United States, the Caribbean and Canada attending the 45th general assembly of the Inter-American Press Association in Monterrey, Mexico, this week. +The paper's local administrator, Maria Luz Lopez, was shot dead, and her mother wounded, while her car was stopped for a red light. +After all, conservation begins with saving those at-risk places -— our forests and deserts, wetlands and oceans, mangroves and coral reefs — that provide a lifeline for precious animals and plants. +To this end, we’ve designated some 200 ecoregions, those with the most outstanding and diverse habitats, as our Global 200. +We’re now creating model projects in 25 of these high-priority areas -- in order to balance conservation with people’s need to use natural resources to sustain their livelihoods. +Dear Friend, +With your increased commitment, we can intensify our campaigns to protect species that are in grave peril by both the loss of habitat and the illegal trading in animal parts. +Quite simply, WWF must do even more to safeguard the tigers, rhinos, pandas. whales, and other creatures that still remain in the wild. +As a member of World Wildlife Fund, you know that our efforts are essential to preserving the astonishing, yet desperately threatened diversity of life here on Earth. +While we still have the chance. +So in addition to our efforts to conserve wildlife preserves, we’ll escalate our trailblazing program to find alternatives for traditional tiger-based medicines ... rescue more rhinos in Kenya and Nepal through our ambitious translocation projects ... complete the first survey of China’s pandas in over a decade ... and fight to halt all commercial whaling, as well as the whale meat trade. +We’ll also award more small grants through our Species Action Fund to help a wide range of animals, including whooping cranes, giant river otters, and Tibetan antelopes. +And with your increased commitment, we can battle against destructive global forces that transcend regional and national boundaries. +For instance, our innovative “Forests for Life Campaign” establishes an international network of parks and reserves. +“Forests for Life Campaign” +This will protect at least 10% of each different type of forest found in every country. +Another WWF goal? +To end government subsidies that promote overfishing and to encourage new markets for sustainably managed fisheries. +The challenges we face are daunting, to be sure. +However, I’m confident that by joining together again, we can make exciting progress in the year ahead. +I want to ask you, therefore, to renew your valued World Wildlife Fund membership and, hopefully, at the Living Planet Society level of $750. +When you do, you’ll extend your commitment as an esteemed partner with WWF -- the largest and most effective international conservation group in existence. +Now, with your increased commitment, we can save more of our planet’s cherished wild species and their irreplaceable habitats ... as we strive to ensure a healthy and thriving future for our extraordinary natural world. +I’m also hoping you know that you play a vital role in achieving our conservation goals around the globe. +Once again, please accept my warmest gratitude for your past support And please, take a moment today to renew your critically important WWF annual membership. +Thank you. +Sincerely, Kathryn S. Fuller President +P.S. As a Living Planet Society member, you’ll receive the wonderful array of benefits described in the enclosed brochure. +Plus, to acknowledge your increased gift of $750, we’ll send you a free copy of our stunning coffee-table photography book, Living Planet Preserving Edens of the Earth. +Please let it be a constant reminder of all you’re doing to preserve our endangered wildlife! +That’s why I want to extend my appreciation for your last membership contribution of $500. +And why I’m writing you today to ask you to renew your support for the pivotal year ahead. +With your increased

Robert G. Torricelli's dealings with David Chang: +A series of snapshots and images are then a visual resume for McCall. +On the basis of thousands of pages of information developed in an earlier federal inquiry into Torricelli's activities, the committee chastised him for using poor judgment and disregarding Senate rules in his dealings with the former donor, David Chang. +It can open doors to opportunity. +But so far he has pushed the point only with the Palestinians. +This is entirely insufficient. +New York cannot afford to have a gaping hole that mocks the city and its process for rebuilding what was destroyed. +Opening the process to other designers, both here and internationally, will help separate this urban plan from the ordinary. +Among these are rules governing emissions that limit visibility in the national parks, and rules governing pollution that drifts eastward from Midwestern power plants. +A lawyer for Chang, Bradley D. Simon, said Tuesday night that he was disappointed that the ethics panel had confirmed only a handful of the gifts he said his client had given Torricelli, and that the panel did not deal with what he said were actions by Torricelli to thwart the federal investigation. +"Senator Torricelli provided the committee with a full explanation of sources of income and any funds used for cash purposes," she said. +With thousands of trees and flowers in bloom, we are having a beautiful Spring! +Your Georgia O'Keeffe membership, please note, includes free admission to all art-related activities of the IMA's Young Friends of Art group. +Additionally, I am sending traditional background materials on the Museum and the two latest issues of our Previews Magazine detailing upcoming events, exhibitions, and educational programs. +These guides are perfect for your family day hikes—they’re pocket-size, full of helpful information such as what to wear and how to prepare, and the highlights chart makes choosing a walk easy +Induded in your gift set: Nature walks in and around New York City Quiet Water Canoe Guide: New York +That does not change the fact that they did just that. +This booing by the crowd, not mentioned with a single word in your transcript or your article, shows that the crowd was fully aware of the controversy they would cause by coming to Littleton after children were being killed there -- and they effectively said "Fuck you". +To say that they could not have done otherwise is a bold lie by Moore's critics. +Regarding the NRA website excerpt about the case and the highlighting of the phrase "48 hours after Kayla Rolland is pronounced dead": +The camera lingers on Bush/Cheney posters, and the protestor is quoted as saying that "we wanted to let the NRA know that we haven't forgotten about Kayla Rolland". +It also raises questions about America's foreign policy of recent decades, questions which have been all but ignored by Moore's critics. +His main mistake is that he does not use population corrected data, his second mistake is that he does not cite his sources (and, as you correctly point out, he probably uses different reporting methods for the different countries). +A good comparison of international homicide rates can be found on the relatively neutral guncite.com website. +The most shameful part of the ongoing attacks against Moore is that these answers have been all but ignored by his critics. +What's the difference between that mass destruction and the mass destruction over at Columbine High School?" +"Although other units of Lockheed Martin Corporation elsewhere in the country produce weapons to support the defense of the U.S., we make no weapons at the Littleton-area facility Moore visited." +Why is someone so young not having fun with friends on a Friday night. +I feel your British readers would appreciate that. +I sometimes wish I could forget that Pendelton is the Braves hitting coach. +nota bene: An overdue library book is a crime against Humanities. +Antie’s stalks would also have receptors for the hydrocarbons themselves, which research shows indicate to the ants whether another ant is their nestmate (Arnold, et al, 1996, as cited in Gordon & Mehdiabadi, 1999), receptors to detect food, and receptors for three types of pheromones: those released by successful foragers returning with food, those released by successful patrollers returning to the nest, and those marking piles of trash as midden. +I propose here the theoretical construction and programming of a robot (hereafter referred to as Antie) that will be able to infiltrate a red harvester ant nest, switching between the foraging, patrolling and midden work behaviors. +Two simultaneously operated motors will open and close the grippers, emulating the grasping power of the ant’s mandibles. +These behaviors will often be used in other subroutines running on a schema basis, and when combined with the forward cruise function, should cause the robot to move at an angle. +These three behaviors each present different puzzles to the ant and to the modeler, though there is some overlap, particularly with navigational problems. +The code may look something like this: +A rudimentary blueprint of Antie is attached. +We try to be even-handed in opposing all terrorism, although we recognize that the greatest terrorist threat in the world today comes from radical Muslims who falsely believe that Allah approves of their criminal behavior against Israel, The United States, Russia, India, the Philippines, Australia, and others whom they falsely believe to be "waging war against Allah. +Rev.

valid criticism, but far from the deliberate distortion you make it out to be; rather, it is an example for how the facts can sometimes be easy to miss with Moore's fast pace editing. +Unfortunately,

and it is surprising that his critics don't dwell on them longer. +In fact, Moore mentions several counter-examples, and more such counter-examples can indeed be cited. +You write: Bowling shows Moore casually buying ammunition at an Ontario Walmart. +If anything, it is his own failure that he did not clarify what he meant with "having a more mixed ethnicity". +Heston's answers in the interview were evasive and unhelpful. +It is not a flawless diamond -- the "48 hours" scene in particular suffers from bad editing, the statistics are suboptimal, and Heston gets a bit more bashing than he deserves. +Other than towards the NRA, the movie tries hard to avoid simplistic conclusions, and comes up with some thoughtful answers. +It is unlikely, however, that the unfair attacks against him will have much of an impact. +Critics like yourself claim that Moore has massively distorted evidence to support his point that Charlton Heston has effectively insulted the victims of the Columbine

behaviors of the sterile workers may be divided into several subcategories: brood care, nest maintenance, patrolling and foraging. +This object detection process will be activated when the front bump sensor is stimulated or when both sonar detectors are stimulated. +The code will be similar to the object identification subroutine and may look something like this: +Younger ants work more inside the nest, and older ants work more outside the nest. +A program encoding this behavior might look like this: +This behavior will be implemented in two parts, with a task-switching algorithm based on age. +To control for this behavior, Antie’s explore subroutine will display a preference for exploration in places where there is a low gradient of nestmate pheromones. +In order to inform itself about its environment, Antie will need a number of sensors. +The locations of the rest of these sensors will depend on their function. +All of our frantic preparations may have had some effect in preventing small-time casual attacks, but they cannot stop a serious planned attack, any more than a mere door lock can stop a serious robber who really wants to get into your house. +The moral and religious

to the second theme. +The trombone motive in measures 134-141, shown in Example 12, is the subject of the fugato section in part 3 of the development, although its importance is downplayed here. +In measures 91-95, the bass descends F-E♭-D♭-C, which might seem to support C’s functioning as structural dominant. +The return to B in measure 210 is also filled-in in this way by F♯ in measures 208-209. +Paul Wilson points out that “[i]n substituting for F within an analogous structure, B receives confirmation at this point as the crucial interior center of the movement.” +“[i]n substituting for F within an analogous structure, B receives confirmation at this point as the crucial interior center of the movement.” +As tempting as this interpretation may be, this observation is relegated to

civilian bookkeeper for six months. +Karnes has never spoken publicly about his role as Tibbets' right-hand administrative aide. +Tibbets had just been ordered to organize a combat force to drop a bomb being developed by a secret enterprise known as the Manhattan Project. +Karnes handed out bunk assignments, choosing the mess officer, Chuck Perry, to share his tent. +Ninety seconds from the

+“are you sure that we should be going this way? +Someone standing just in the lip of an alley glared at me with gleaming eyes. +“Nice, my man,” +That’s why we came here.” +“Oh, totally,” said the hunchback. +He had some rings, too. +“What do you think?” +Here, let me write down how to find him.” +He gave me a half-hearted wave that made me wonder what exactly we were chasing, and whether I should be wearing body armor. +“Okay, Nathan. +East is that way.” +On the bed was a small, ratty man. +Frankly, I don’t know if we can even doing anything against a vampire. +Sails of obscene orange and a green that insulted springtime hung draped across reds that might have been sensual elsewhere but here were only offensive. +“Why, the merchandise, of course,” +Nepthys turned to me. +“As if I wanted it,” interrupted the woman. +“One half-pint of human blood, willingly given, and his fine head of hair for the stone.” +Nepthys slapped me on the back. +“I think that our world is a reflection

place to settle down, but it’s better than waiting to get dammed.” +After she paid the driver, she grabbed my arm, laughing, and we ran down the street. +…I thought as much. +“You idiot,” +“Night

you. +“This man is here in search of his lover, who was stolen from him in the human world,” said Nepthys, ushering us toward the woman in silk. +“I have a feeling that she was worth the trade,” I added. +Nepthys could hardly believe her. +“It is. +She sat up, running her hands along her pale, round thighs. +She didn’t shed a bead of sweat, and I didn’t even see her draw a breath, but the glow around her hands shuddered like a stubborn candleflame. +I haven’t had a vampire here since you and – ” Nepthys shot a wicked look at him. +He didn’t look very surprised. +I slipped past the waving monstrosity that had blocked my view before, a mountain of wet, veined flesh, and had almost passed through the crowd when a clawed hand grabbed my arm. +I turned to keep going, but he caught my arm again. +He shot back up, hardly touching the ground, and I kicked him back. +He bashed up a set of stairs set into the side of the wall, and we chased up after him, heading up a huge staircase that seemed to go up for more stories than the building could have held. +He tossed it to me, and I just barely had it open before I saw the vampire again, turning to face me. +Then he landed heavy beside me and I scrambled to stand. +He didn’t move, just stared and held his drink. +The next time I saw them, his mouth was moving. +My girlfriend has disappeared, I don’t even know where to start looking,

Ocean Park (see page 32) is popular with children of all ages. +The Science Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui East allows children to get their hands on over half of its 500 exhibits, while the nearby Space Museum has regular screenings on an enormous Omnimax screen in its Space Theater, making the night sky come vibrantly alive. +Many stores will pack and ship purchases. +Major shopping areas are Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, especially along Nathan Road; Central on Hong Kong Island, particularly for upscale designer goods; Causeway Bay for slightly better prices; and the Hollywood Road area. +Bargain, and carefully examine any merchandise you buy here. +Hollywood Road in the Mid-Levels above Central is the most famous antiques street in Hong Kong. +Photo buffs know that Hong Kong is the place to buy some of the world’s most advanced photographic equipment, and there are some real bargains around. +However, be sure you compare prices and models before buying. +Every August young women convene to light joss sticks and some even climb the nine-meter (30-ft) rock to pray for good husbands. +The busy night-and-day crowds make this area vibrant and lively. +On Connaught Road Central, you’ll find one of Hong Kong’s curiosities, the 244-m- (800-ft-) long Mid-Levels outdoor escalator. +It’s so attractive and so easy to reach that it’s packed with sunbathers all summer long. +The waterfronts at Repulse Bay and Stanley are lined with good cafés and restaurants. +Its futuristic dome design is striking; inside are interactive exhibits, including one in which you can experience weightlessness. +Birds are favorite pets in Hong Kong, valued for their singing rather than their plumage, and here you’ll find all kinds of birds for sale as well as elaborate teak and bamboo cages. +These pleasant, but expensive, outings can lay the foundation for your own explorations aboard the cheap but usually comfortable ferries used by the islanders themselves. +Behind the church is the 1917 French Mission Building, now used as the Court of Final Appeal. +Entry procedures are similar to those in Hong Kong — most nationalities need only a passport to enter Macau. +Upon arrival in Macau, be sure to stop by the Macau Government Tourist Office for a map, brochures, and directions. +The fort, built by the Jesuits in the 17th century as a defense against the Dutch, was largely destroyed by the same fire that burned St. Paul’s. +The Handover Pavilion was meant to be a temporary structure, but public outcry ensured its preservation (located on Xian Xing Hai; open weekdays 10am–6pm, until 10pm weekends). +Look for jewelry shops along Avenida do Infante D.

letter? " +If I wasn't working here. +.." +Goodwill helps people get off of public assistance. +Coming to Goodwill was the first step toward my becoming totally independent. +I am now... totally off of welfare." +Goodwill prepares people for life-long employment. +Here's another story of success from what might seem like an unlikely source: Goodwill's controller, Juli. +Cornell found a number of employment options that he never dreamed existed after a work-site injury forced him out of his job at a foundry. +He trained in desktop publishing and combined his enthusiastic work ethic with new-found skills in a burgeoning industry. " +Dear , +I've got more than a job; I've got a career." +After a lifetime of trials, Donna not only earned her GED at Goodwill, she earned a job here. " +I rode a bike to Goodwill in the rain and snow. +I wanted to be there. +..I had my second chance to change my life." +Your gift to Goodwill will help the many people who want to tell their own stories of success. +Your support will help them go to work. +Please use the enclosed envelope to give a generous gift to Goodwill today! +Sincerely, +William A Carter, Chairman Goodwill Industries Foundation +P.S. +Your gift is a wise investment in the community. +For every dollar donated to Goodwill in 1998, we helped our "graduates" earn an estimated $102. +That money was then spent in a variety of ways, adding fuel to our thriving economy. +She tells me that the 3,666 people we helped find jobs in 1998 earned approximately $49 million dollars. +A few months ago you received a letter from me telling the success stories of people who got jobs with Goodwill's help. +In addition to that, by helping them find jobs, Goodwill reduced the state's Public Support tab by an estimated $4 million. +Your gift to Goodwill will help us do even more this year because your gift will be used to directly support our work. +What kind of work does Goodwill do? +Goodwill finds jobs for people with mental and physical disabilities. +After Maureen's job coach taught her how to do her job in a restaurant, we helped Maureen step out of the shadow sometimes cast over people with physical and mental disabilities and find a fulfilling job smack dab in the middle of society. +Every time we help someone find a solution to their employment barrier, the positive effects radiate throughout our community: +The business community welcomes not only another worker, but a consumer with increased purchasing power. +Parents act as role models of self-sufficiency instead of dependency. +Tax dollars that would have been spent on public assistance are saved. +You and I know that solutions to difficult problems don't just happen. +At Goodwill, it is the hard work of staff and those who benefit from our services that produces the kind of inspiring results I see every day: +A Goodwill staff member addresses a group of welfare recipients: +"You can earn the money to support yourself and your family," she says. +November 15, 1996 +I know you can... +A participant in a Goodwill program rushes back from a job interview to share the results with his classmates in our desktop publishing training program. +His job objectives call for him to do it in 30. +once his tears have subsided, he confirms what his classmates have already figured out: he just received a job offer -- his first in five years. +Addressing a meeting at a neighborhood center, a Goodwill staff member tells the audience how Goodwill can help them find and keep jobs. +At the next corner he tells five more. +In order to develop job skills, a man with some serious disabilities begins working in Goodwill's industrial division. +He has no time to waste. +It takes a long time for him to gain the self-confidence to work elsewhere in the community. +Eventually, he turns your support into a payoff for all of us. +He proudly leaves Goodwill to support himself. +These people and their successes are real. +Neither do we. +Just like the respect we've earned from U.S. News & World Report. +With the help of friends like you, Goodwill has continued to adapt our services to meet the human needs of our changing society. +Real work. +Real results. +A real difference in people's lives -- in all of our lives. +The people who can benefit most directly from your generosity have no time to waste. +Neither do the rest of us who feel the positive results of their success. +Your support helps provide real solutions. +Please use the enclosed response card and envelope to give generously to Goodwill today. +Sincerely, +Jack Dustman Board Member and Former Chairman +We don't waste time as we are helping the community. +And we don't waste money. +The gift that I am asking you to make will be used to continue our mission of helping people prepare for, find and keep jobs. +In their December, 1995 review of the nation's best charities, U.S. News & World Report called Goodwill one of the five "Standout Good Guys." +In the short while since Goodwill helped him find his job, Robert has learned to thoroughly clean a motel room in about 40 minutes. +The magazine stated that Goodwill (as well as the other standouts) is "uniquely effective, innovative or valuable." +While I appreciate U.S. News & World Report's endorsement, the true value of your support is measured by the way Goodwill takes on problems that affect all of us. +And there are a lot of people who face these challenges every day of their lives. +So our work must continue. +Everyone benefits from the work we do together. +Many people need our help. +Please continue our important partnership. +Support Goodwill with a generous donation today. +Sincerely, +James M. McClelland President +We've helped people break free of the welfare cycle. +We've found ways for people with disabilities to enter the workforce. +December 10, 1996 +We've expanded Goodwill's proven methods to towns and neighborhoods where they are needed most. +Of course, we've played different roles. +You have helped make Goodwill's work possible with your previous support. +Who has benefited from our partnership? +Everyone has. +When you and I help somebody find a job, one more person joins the ranks of tax payers, fewer tax dollars are spent on public assistance and businesses gain another consumer. +You and I have done some important work together. +There are a lot of barriers that keep people from working: physical and mental disabilities, history of welfare dependency and lack of education or self-esteem. +At last, he has found success in a job that he loves. +Now his goals are set on moving up in the company. +Every year, thousands of people come to Goodwill. +Like Michael, they share two common characteristics. +They face some barrier to employment and they want to work. +With support from people like you, they can overcome their barriers and earn success and the self-sufficiency that comes with it. +And then the pay-off begins for the entire community. +Last year, participants in Goodwill programs earned --and paid taxes on -- wages of nearly $3.5 million. +Michael Sims felt that way at age 39 -- the day he earned a job. +Their successes at work also saved taxpayers more than three-quarters of a million dollars in public assistance. +November 15, 1994 +The savings are counted in more ways than dollars and cents, however. +The families of the new wage earners may feel the accomplishment in terms of a house to live in, money to purchase food -- without food stamps -- and the beginning of a family focused on success, not hopelessness. +Won't you help make all of these successes possible? +Please send the largest contribution you can comfortably make. +Your gift will help give new meaning to the word success -- for people who have seldom had reason to use the word. +Michael was born with cerebral palsy. +Sincerely, +James M. McClelland President +P.S. +Your gift will make a difference. +For every dollar of public support Goodwill received last year, we returned $1.59 to the community in the form of earned wages and reduced public assistance payments. +Upon entering the work force, he discovered few job opportunities that seemed to match his abilities. +His most recent job lasted only a year before cut-backs eliminated his position. +For 18 long months Michael could not find a job. +Think of your greatest accomplishments. +Finally, Michael called Goodwill. +At Goodwill, Michael's counselors felt that his personable demeanor could be a major attribute and identified for him a possible job-match where his people skills could shine. +After three interviews, Michael proved that he was the right person for the job. +As the Clubhouse Monitor at Bent Tree Apartments, he now provides customer service for 50 to 60 tenants each night. +Their complaint: the system discourages working because unemployment provides benefits that many entry-level jobs don't include. +Some of the strongest critics of our welfare system are the people who have become dependent on it. +That's where you --and Goodwill --come in. +We help people train for and find jobs that make it possible for them to get off of welfare. +Last year, Goodwill placed 511 people in jobs, more than double the number we placed in 1993. +While the debate on welfare reform is gathering like a storm at sea, the people who need jobs are floundering. +We need your support to continue getting people off of public assistance. +Welfare is not the answer. +And welfare reform is an uncertain solution with an unknown starting date. +Goodwill works. +Please give the largest gift you can to Goodwill today. +Sincerely, Jack Dustman Chairman +With unemployment at its lowest point in years in central Indiana, many people still have a hard time finding meaningful employment. +Some, like Jerry, are ex-offenders. +Some are blind, deaf or have other physical disabilities. +With a promising new job at a plastic injection molding manufacturer, his legal troubles in check and a safe place to live, Jerry can get on with the business of building a life for himself and contributing to his community. +March 17, 2000 +For as long as he needs it, Goodwill will continue to help. +Your support of Goodwill will provide job training and placement services to help the hardest to serve in central Indiana find meaningful employment. +Please make an investment in the stability of our community by sending a gift to Goodwill. +Your generosity will help people help themselves. +Sincerely, +James M. McClelland President +Reality hit when he was unable to reconcile with his wife and ended up on the street. +Name Address City, ST, Zip +He went to the Center Township Trustee for food stamps until he could find a job and a place to live. +The Trustee referred him to the Blue Triangle where he consulted Goodwill's Career Academy staff for job search assistance. +Dear Name: +Jerry's Goodwill caseworker found him a job immediately. +But Jerry's troubles didn't end there. +The seasonal construction job he obtained soon ended, and he returned to Career Academy for help once more. +When Jerry was released from prison, he knew it would take hard work and determination to straighten out his life. +Unemployed, homeless and with a prison record, Jerry now faced going back to prison for failure to pay child support. +Such fund are often used for college tuition, vocational training or a deposit on an apartment. +Please take a few minutes to send a donation to help one or more of our children successfully cross that threshold into the future. +Sincerely, +Mary Roth Executive Director +The young adults who leave Pleasant Run have those same feelings. +June 21, 1999 +Very few have family support to get them started. +Many need furniture, linens and other basic necessities to begin lives on their own. +Name Address City, ST Zip +To help them establish themselves in the community, the Pleasant Run Emancipation fund was begun in 1993 by private donors who wanted to provide a measure of financial support for those leaving our programs. +Individuals who are being emancipated are eligible to receive up to $500 from the Fund if they formally apply and meet four requirements: +Dear , +1.

Positive termination of his or her Pleasant Run program +4. Possession of a high school diploma or GED +Proof of meeting these, two staff reference letters and an essay stating why they should receive a grant and how it will be used are all reviewed by a Pleasant Run panel, which determines if the applicant merits the funds. +Then the task was to help children who lost parents in the Civil War. +Today, we serve children and families with a multitude of problems: emotional, physical, psychological and sexual abuse. +Some come from families where, through therapy, there is hope for reunification. +For others, "families" are the counselors are housemates at the group homes where they live. +Little ones, like Baby Jessica, caught in the struggle between adoptive and birth parents. +In 1995 we will serve over 850 children and 340 families. +In 1996, these figures will triple. +They welcome the chance to belong, to become self- sufficient, to regain their self-esteem and confidence. +November 27, 1995 +Often it is a long, hard struggle, but the results are well worth it. +For Pleasant Run to continue to serve abused and neglected children and their families, we need your support. +The Funding sources are shrinking, but the needs grow explosively. +Please "help good kids get better" by sending us a contribution today. +Your gift will give children and families hope for improved tomorrows. +Sincerely, +Older kids, like Tracy and Kerry, left homeless after a recent murder-suicide in Indianapolis claimed Mom and Dad. +Young adults, like Mary T., a jobless mother of three, trying desperately to keep her kids out of trouble in a crime-ridden neighborhood. +Dear Friend: +Real people! +Families are being torn apart, and too often, children are the victims. +What kind of people benefit by your contribution to Pleasant Run Children's Homes? +Kids like Tommie J., made a ward of the court because of repeated beatings by an alcoholic father; +Alice, sent to a group home to get help because of severe behavior disorders; +and John H., a recovering alcoholic, rebuilding a relationships with his family so they can live together again. +Pleasant Run Children's Homes began serving children nearly 130 years ago. +For some, it's a matter of weeks or months; +for others, it's years. +They leave Pleasant Run, generally, ready and able to contribute to society. +We're proud of our children and all that they overcome. +We are a not-for-profit, multi-service agency. +We wouldn't exist if the need weren't there. +The numbers of children who deserve our services are rising... as quickly as our programs can grow to serve them. +Please help us help them. +Pleasant Run Children's Homes... "where good kids get better." +Sincerely, +Mary Roth Tom Hirschauer +June 26, 1995 +Federal, state and local governments are freezing or withdrawing much-needed funding sources for people who are truly in need. +We all hear about today's increases in neglect, abuse and abandonment of those who can't fight back: children. +This is not newsletter. +Yet few of us hear enough about kids who live through these adversities and do make the grade. +The positive side. +They come into a Pleasant Run program... +whether it's for therapeutic help in their own homes (which nurtures whole families), through foster care families or in the familial surroundings of our residential homes. +Your contribution will make a difference in a child's life. +It may help a family stay together. +It can certainly make happy holiday memories. +A gift to Pleasant Run means the children in our care will have presents to open. +A gift means a family will have a holiday meal, cooking utensils to prepare the meal and dishes to serve it on. +Your gift will go beyond the holiday season. +It can help purchase clothing, school supplies, books and educational tools throughout the year. +Please take a few minutes to mail a donation to Pleasant run. +Let our families and children know that you want them to have the same kinds of memories of the holidays you will have. +We wish you and your family a new year full of joy and love. +Dear Friends of Pleasant Run: +Mary Roth Executive Director +This is the time of year when we give thanks for the warmth and love that surrounds us. +And this time of year is an occasion to remember those not as fortunate as we are. +Pleasant Run cares for at-risk children and families. +The holiday season is the time of year when we're all busy buying gifts, baking goodies, decorating our homes and making arrangements to be with family and friends. +Many of the children are victims of abuse or live in unstable homes. +Today we are asking you to take a few minutes to consider making a contribution to Pleasant Run to help the 1,500 children families we care for. +Many of the children have no homes; no memories of joy from past holidays. +If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Lisa Lusk or Marcia Whited at 693-9222. +We would like to have families matched with sponsors non later than xxxx. +Thank you for considering this opportunity to make this a memorable holiday season for a family in need. +Sincerely, +It's hard to believe that the holiday season is only two months away. +Every year we seek companies, organizations and individuals to sponsor one or more of our families. +These families are participants in our community-based programs. +These programs focus on keeping the family together by providing counseling and other services to the entire family. +After our caseworkers meet with these families and their children they often find they lack even the basic necessities such as cooking utensils, beds, cleaning supplies, etc. +We meet these needs immediately. +But, the holiday season is a particularly difficult time for these families. +They do not have the resources necessary to purchase gifts or food for a holiday meal. +At Pleasant Run, Inc. we are making plans and arrangements for our children and families. +It costs $225 to send one child to camp. +Many members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis can't afford to go to camp without financial assistance, and that's why we need you! +Yes, it's that time of the year -- the start of the Boys & Girls clubs of Indianapolis' Camp. +Consider sponsoring 1, 2, or 3 children. +Sincerely, +Richard Dickinson +You can make a difference in a child's life. +Sponsor a child at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis' summer camp today! +Six weeks of learning and exploring, sports, arts, and fellowship. +A time for a youngster to enjoy the fun and benefits of residential camp living, dedicated staff and instruction, and a chance to make special friends. +I know you're committed to ensuring today's children have safe, healthy, and positive summer experiences. +That's why I want you to learn more about the Super Summer Safari Camp. +At Super Summer Safari Camp, there are daily sports, nature, and arts activities. +Dear Friend, +In addition to the fun stuff, important life-skills such as self-esteem, leadership, and interpersonal cooperation are being developed. +It's summertime, so it must be time for CAMP! +Please read the enclosed brochure for more information on the wonderful Super Summer Safari Camp! +We are counting on you now to help us get where we need to be tomorrow. +Would you please consider a gift of the same in 1999?

Brandon, President MCCOY, Inc. +Participants in the Youth Outcomes Educational Initiative identified three goals for all our youth to obtain: economic self-sufficiency, healthy family, social relationships, and involvement in the community. +A short time later, the Community Youth Mapping Project sent 55 young people out into the community to identify the resources they need to grow up well: caring adults, safe places to go, and positive things to do. +It is our goal that every young person in Marion County have access to the programs and services that can best assist them in their growth toward a positive adulthood. +I am hopeful that you as an individual and Meridian Insurance as a corporation might consider becoming sustaining supporters of MCCOY. +I have enclosed a packet of information about MCCOY and its work as well as an application with various options for supporting the youth of our community. +I obviously can't tell the whole story of MCCOY in a single letter but I hope this provides an overview of the scope of our work. +I will call you in a few weeks to discuss your level of interest. +Please consider joining together with your fellow citizens in support of the work of the Marion County Commission on Youth. +January 5, 1997 +Sincerely, +John Brandon Executive Director +As you begin that process this year, I would like to ask you to consider helping young people in Marion County toward more positive youth development by becoming a supporter of the Marion County Commission on Youth, Inc. +Name Address City, ST Zip +MCCOY Inc., originally founded as a government agency but re-organized in 1993 as an independent not-for-profit, is a county-wide youth services coordinating, planning, and convening agency. +Its purpose is to encourage collaboration and cooperation between the various agencies, programs, and systems that serve our community's youth. +Dear Bill: +In addition to that behind-the-scenes role, MCCOY has taken an out-front role in developing a Summer Bus Pass, neighborhood youth councils, and the We Value Youth information line. +This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to ways to do things differently, things that will make our lives better and improve the quality of our life. +The formation of The Community Academy, a pilot project directed at expelled students from local school systems, has come about as a result of MCCOY's efforts to mobilize community agencies in response to a pressing issue. +McCoy is actively represented and working with numerous community collaborations where we regularly raise our voice to speak out for the inclusion of young people in both decision-making and program planning processes. +One concrete example is a joint project undertaken in the United Northwest Area in partnership with The Junior League of Indianapolis and Community Partnerships with Youth from Fort Wayne, Indiana. +October 7, 1996 +Since its re-organization, MCCOY has established its unique niche within the community by refraining from direct service programming and focusing on what it does best: helping to identify youth needs, convening groups of individuals and organizations which can address those needs, and moving toward collaborative solutions. +MCCOY was reorganized as an independent, not-for-profit agency, separate from local government. +McCoy has only one interest: the well being of Marion County's young people. +---- the co-ordination of youth leadership training and youth empowerment efforts at the neighborhood level by means of neighborhood-based youth councils; +---- the promotion of youth employment opportunities; +---- the development of community-wide supports for the positive growth of all Marion County young people. +In the last several years, the business and corporate community has recognized that the positive development of youth is directly related to the development of a competent workforce. +It retained, however, the same mission with which it had been charged from its inception: to serve as a catalyst for effective, coordinated, and collaborative service delivery to youth in our community. +Youth who are supported and encouraged by both a family and a society that values Them have a much greater likelihood of becoming productive and contributing members of adult society. +While we have made significant inroads, there remains much to be done and it is clear that we cannot do it alone. +Name Address City, ST Zip +In our fund raising efforts to date, we have received the support of local government, foundations, and corporations as well as the personal financial commitments of individual MCCOY Board members. +We believe there is no more appropriate time to have a coordinated and collaborative effort to financially support the services MCCOY offers to the community as a whole. +Sincerely, +John T. Neighbours Philip B. Roby President Treasurer +For the past three years, MCCOY has been actively engaged in accomplishing this declared mission in cooperation with many others: youth service providers, youth, funding bodies, and interested citizens to name a few. +Dear Name: +We have met with a number of successes along the way, most notably the Summer Fun Line, the Metro Summer Bus Pass, and the development of ten neighborhood youth councils. +In the summer of 1993, the Marion County Commission on Youth began what can best be described as a "new era" in its history. +A Providers Council and a Youth Coalition are building relationships that will hopefully bear great fruit in the years to come. +One of us will call you to discuss how your company can become an important highly visible partner with the JCC in support of our scholarship programs. +If you have any questions, please feel free to call Myrna Weinberger at 251-9467, ext. 256. +Thank you in advance for your consideration. +The 9th annual JCC Auction will benefit the numerous scholarship programs of the Jewish Community Center of Indianapolis, a United Way agency. +Sincerely, Judy Laikin, Chair Auction '99 Sponsor Committee +Because you are an organization that cares, you are invited to become an integral part of this fabulous event by becoming a corporate sponsor for JCC Auction '99. +Dear +The JCC would be very pleased to welcome your organization as a corporate sponsor. +Join us for the "Sale of the Century" at JCC Auction '99, on Saturday, November 13, 1999. +As a sponsor, you and your guests will have a special evening, knowing that your tax deductible contribution will help support preschool, childcare, senior and resettlement services, as well as quality cultural events in our community. +Enclosed is a corporate sponsorship package that includes a sample auction book from last year's event, JCC market statistics and an overview of the many programs that will be preserved and strengthened through your generous support. +One of us will call you to discuss how your company can continue to be an important, highly visible partner with the JCC in support of our scholarship programs. +If you have any questions, please feel free to call Myrna Weinberger at 251-9467, ext. 256. +Thank you in advance for your consideration. +The 9th annual JCC Auction will benefit the numerous scholarship programs of the Jewish Community Center of Indianapolis, a United Way agency. +Sincerely, +Judy Laikin, Chair Auction '99 Sponsor Committee +October 27, 1998 +Because you are an organization that cares, you are invited once again to be an integral part of this fabulous event as a corporate sponsor for JCC Auction '99. +Dear Name: +We are so grateful for your generous contribution to last year's auction. +Join us for the "Sale of the Century" at JCC Auction '99, on Saturday, November 13, 1999. +As a sponsor, you and your guests will have a special evening, knowing that your tax deductible contribution will help support preschool, childcare, senior and resettlement services, as well as quality cultural events in our community. +Enclosed is a corporate sponsorship package that includes a sample of your ad from last year's auction book, current JCC market statistics and an overview of the many JCC programs that will be preserved and strengthened through your generous support. +Over 150 girls are currently waiting for a Big Sister. +You can make an impact by supporting Big Sisters Annual Campaign and our $200,000 goal. +We know that children do better when they have a network of caring adults to nurture and motivate them. +If you are a regular contributor to the Annual Campaign, I encourage you to consider increasing your gift by 10%. +If you have not supported Big Sisters in the past, please join me in doing so by completing and returning the enclosed pledge form. +Early adolescence is the most vulnerable age for youth. +It's the perfect time to make a world of difference. +Sincerely, +Name Address City, State, Zip +Big Sisters helps bridge that gap by providing children with the resources they need -- Big Sisters volunteers. +Big Sisters are mentors and friends who empower girls to more fully reach their potential, experience life's opportunities and perhaps begin to dream. +Dear Name, +The relationships that are formed provide strong foundations from which healthy values and strong self-confidence can grow, helping youth become strong, independent adults of tomorrow. +It's tough growing up today. +This is an impressive number;

Bill Richardson of New Mexico, who went to help a pair of U.S. oilmen in diplomatic trouble. +Hall flies to Amman, Jordan, on Friday, where he'll spend the night before driving to Iraq. +Hall is to return to Washington on April 22. +Story Filed By Cox Newspapers +The Dayton Democrat, who has traveled to other crisis points including Sierra Leone and North Korea, will spend three days visiting hospitals and other facilities to seek understanding why aid has been ineffective in stemming malnourishment and other medical problems. +By Scott Montgomery Washington +Iraq has been under economic sanctions since the war ended, which some say have thwarted the country's ability to recover from the devastation of the bombing campaign. +The Persian Gulf War destroyed much of the country's medical infrastructure, according to a report by the World Health Organization. +The Iraqi government has agreed to let U.S. Rep. Tony Hall visit the country next week to assess a humanitarian crisis that has festered since the Gulf War of 1990, Hall's office said Monday. +In 1996 the WHO found that much of the population existed in a state of ``semi starvation.'' +Hall will be only the second member of Congress to travel in Iraq since the war, according to Hall's office. +Iraq clears visit by Ohio official +The Iraqi government blames the embargo for the malnutrition, infant mortality and other hardships. +The sanctions cannot be lifted until U.N. inspectors certify that Iraq has eliminated its weapons of mass destruction and the means to produce them. +At least one other congressman has visited Iraq. +Energy Secretary Bill Richardson went to Baghdad in 1995 while a representative for New Mexico. +Hall, an Ohio Democrat and one of very few U.S. congressmen to visit Iraq since the 1991 Gulf War over Kuwait, is scheduled to embark Sunday the 12-hour overland trip to the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. +He did not speak to reporters in Jordan, but he told The Associated Press before leaving the United States that he hopes to "separate the humanitarian work from the political issues." +AMMAN, Jordan (AP) +During his four days in Iraq, Hall said he wanted to investigate reports from relief agencies that a quarter of Iraqi children may be suffering from chronic malnutrition. +U.S. Representative Tony Hall arrived in Jordan on Saturday en route to Iraq, where he is expected to look into the plight of Iraqis after nearly 10 years of U.N. trade sanctions. +He said he would pay particular attention to what happens to food and medicine entering the country under the U.N. oil-for-food program. +If supplies are not reaching the people who need them, Hall said, he wanted to find out whether the United Nations or relief agencies needed to handle things differently, or whether "Iraq needs to get out of the way and let us do the job." +Ohio Congressman Arrives in Jordan +Iraq says the United States and Britain hold up delivery of needed supplies, using their clout in the United Nations. +A U.S. lawmaker assessing the impact of U.N. sanctions on Iraq said Wednesday it is important not only to force Baghdad to give up its weapons of mass destruction but also to do more to ease the hardships on ordinary Iraqis. +The U.S. government says it wants to ensure that Iraq is not buying items that appear to be humanitarian in nature but that could be used for making weapons. +By HASSAN ABDULWAHAB, Associated Press Writer +"It was very, very important" to compel Iraq to rid itself of weapons of mass destruction so that "it cannot use or export them to other countries," he told Associated Press Television News. +But he insisted the international community can do a much better job in helping Iraq deal with its economic and health problems. +One way would be to speed up the flow of health supplies and other urgent commodities to the country under a U.N. humanitarian program, he said. +BASRA, Iraq (AP) +Lawmaker Appeals for Innocent Iraqis +The United States cut virtually all military links with Indonesia in 1999 after its forces were implicated in the violence that swept East Timor after that territory voted for independence. +"We recognized that terrorism is a global threat and that the disturbing acts of terrorism and transnational crimes, which continue to threaten world peace and stability, must be tackled by the international community," +"We recognized that terrorism is a global threat and that the disturbing acts of terrorism and transnational crimes, which continue to threaten world peace and stability, must be tackled by the international community," the ministers said in a communique on Tuesday. +Powell is among the representatives from 13 nations outside Southeast Asia, including China, Japan and Russia, that are taking part in the annual meeting of the group's regional forum. +Terrorism dominates the agenda, though the possibility of a meeting here between Powell and his North Korean counterpart, Paek Nam Sun, has generated the most news. +It would be the highest-level contact between the United States and North Korea since President Bush took office. +Powell heads to Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, late on Thursday before finishing a weeklong trip through the region in the Philippines on Saturday. +The committee's action comes six months after federal prosecutors ended a lengthy criminal investigation into Torricelli's activities without filing criminal charges. +He said that when he arrives in Jakarta, he will have "some ideas and some initiatives" to present to President Megawati Sukarnoputri. +"some ideas and some initiatives" +Indonesia is already receiving $400,000 in the current fiscal year for civilian training programs and is to receive a like amount next year; and the United States expects to provide an additional $16 million this year to train police officers in counterterrorism. +"counterterrorism fellowships," +But a senior State Department official also acknowledged that some in the administration and Congress are pushing for more direct military cooperation, which would require congressional approval. +"I think they recognize the danger that we all face and I think they have been cooperating more fully with us as time goes by, and I'm quite sure that Mrs. Megawati is committed to this cause," +"I think they recognize the danger that we all face and I think they have been cooperating more fully with us as time goes by, and I'm quite sure that Mrs. Megawati is committed to this cause," Powell said in Singapore. +He met there with Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, who endorsed the idea of renewed military ties between the United States and Indonesia as an important step in stabilizing that country. +Powell contended that it was not inconsistent to want to foster cooperation even with an organization like the Indonesian military, which has a history of human rights abuses. +"If you get young officers, expose them to a military organization that is within a democratic political institution, such as the United States, then that rubs off on them," +In Malaysia, Powell met with Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who has led the country since 1981. +The Malaysian foreign minister, Syed Hamid Albar, later told local reporters that Powell had proposed that American and Malaysian officials review the idea of forming a regional training center in Malaysia to coordinate antiterrorism activities. +The ethics panel, to which evidence from the criminal case was forwarded, concluded its review just as Torricelli is gearing up his campaign for re-election against the Republican candidate, Douglas R. Forrester. +His brief stop in Malaysia also highlighted the moral ambiguities of the effort to prevent terrorism and its emphasis on cooperation with governments that the United States has often criticized. +The United States once distanced itself from Mahathir for strong-arm tactics with political rivals, and human rights groups criticize him for arresting and jailing scores of suspected militants, including some who may be linked to al-Qaida, without trial. +Powell said his discussions with Mahathir "touched on the case" of his former deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, who is serving a 15-year sentence on charges of sodomy and abuse of power after trials that Powell said the United States had "always felt" were flawed. +The assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, James Kelly, met on Tuesday morning with Anwar's wife, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, for what she later told Malaysian reporters was a discussion about both the detention of her husband and six supporters, and the campaign against terrorism. +"severely admonished" +Microsoft plans to announce on Wednesday a partnership with AT&T Wireless Services to offer software for wireless devices and services, a person close to the talks said Tuesday night. +The deal would be part of Microsoft's drive to sign up wireless carriers to use its so-called smart phone software -- a pared-down version of the Windows operating system -- and services that Microsoft is developing as part of its .Net Internet strategy. +Neither Microsoft nor AT&T Wireless would comment. +The main market for the Microsoft-AT&T partnership is expected to be business customers. +Microsoft's efforts to persuade wireless carriers to use its cell phone operating system have struggled. +It has run into particular opposition from companies aligned with Nokia, which has developed a competing software. +But Microsoft's potential advantage, analysts say, is its ability to link its cell phone software to its desktop PC software, a Microsoft stronghold. +After months in which polls showed Torricelli well ahead of his relatively unknown Republican rival, the contest has narrowed in recent weeks. +Customers who want access to Microsoft desktop e-mail, documents and calendar information may prefer Microsoft's wireless technology. +In recent months, Microsoft has announced partnerships with wireless carriers like Verizon and Sprint PCS. +Less than three weeks after outfielder Cliff Floyd was imported to Montreal to play a pivotal part in the Expos' playoff plans, he was traded to Boston Tuesday night to try his hand in what the Red Sox hope will be their postseason plans. +Floyd did not produce the kind of offense the Expos expected from him, so Omar Minaya, the Expos' aggressive rookie general manager, turned around and sent him to the Red Sox in exchange two South Korean pitchers and a player yet to be named. +The teams made the deal less than 24 hours before Tuesday's 4 p.m. +deadline for making trades without first getting waivers on players. +Minaya obtained Floyd from the Florida Marlins on July 11, only two weeks after he stunned baseball by acquiring Bartolo Colon from Cleveland. +Colon has won four of five decisions for the Expos, but Floyd batted only .208 for them while hitting three home runs, including one Tuesday night, and driving in four runs. +With the Marlins Floyd bated .287, hit 18 home runs and drove in 57 runs. +The Expos, who had a 46-41 record when they made their first Floyd deal, had only a 7-12 record with him on the team, dropping from 9 1/2 games behind Atlanta in the National League East to as many as 16 games back. +It was the first time that the Senate Ethics Committee had voted to take action against a senator since 1995, when it recommended that Bob Packwood, an Oregon Republican, be expelled on the ground of sexual and official misconduct. +Floyd can be a free agent after this season, and Minaya decided it would be more prudent to trade him and get value in return than have to settle for a draft choice or two as compensation when he signed with another team as a free agent. +The Expos acquired Sun Woo-kim and Seung Jun-song. +The Red Sox signed him in 1997. +Song is a 22-year-old right-hander from Pusan. +The Red Sox signed him in 1999. +The Red Sox wanted to bolster their offense. +They led the Yankees for most of the first three months of the season but then slipped behind them in the American League East. +Earlier in the day Tuesday, one member of the Red Sox organization was not sure they would be able to get Floyd. +"I don't know that he's that serious about moving him," +"I don't know that he's that serious about moving him," the person said of Minaya. +But as the day wore on, the Red Sox tried harder and by Tuesday night were able to get the player they wanted for their lineup. +With the barrage of crack cocaine-connected killings in the 1980s came the realization that young people were too often full-fledged players in the violence. +That was more evident here than in any other city, said George Starke, who after his career as an offensive tackle with the Washington Redskins from 1973 to 1984 stuck around and decided to make this place more than his home. +"There was death in D.C. throughout the '80s and into the '90s, and there was death everywhere," +"There was death in D.C. throughout the '80s and into the '90s, and there was death everywhere," said Starke, who was reared in New Rochelle, N.Y., and played at Columbia. +"It wasn't like New York's or Boston's organized crime. +"It wasn't like New York's or Boston's organized crime. It was kids shooting kids. It was a 14-year-old from R Street who got his crew of six together and ran their drug block killing another 14-year-old and his crew from a block away. And from the beginning I could see that it was all about jobs.

Stack, the company's managing director. +"This is the Mona Lisa of coins," said Beth Deisher, editor of Coin World, the largest weekly coin publication in the United States, with a circulation of 85,000. +"It is unique. +"It is unique. Forbidden fruit." +Forbidden fruit." +Collectors' Web sites have surged with speculation about the sale price, and enthusiasts even organized betting pools. +On Tuesday night, Redden took the podium for nine minutes before the gavel came down, recognizing bidders in the audience and on the telephone. +The tension in the crowd was broken with a burst of applause after the $5 million mark, and a louder explosion at $6 million. +The rumor in the crowd had been that "anything under $6 million would be a bargain," said Ute Wartenberg, executive director of the American Numismatic Society in Manhattan. +"anything under $6 million would be a bargain," +Most bidders dropped out after that price. +The sale price of $6.6 million, when added to the commission, totaled $7.59 million. +The auction attendance was swelled by coin collectors who had gathered on the eve of the American Numismatic Association Convention, the largest coin show of the year, expected to draw more than 10,000 people to the Marriott Marquis Hotel Wednesday. +"So the auction was almost like the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the convention," +"So the auction was almost like the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the convention," Stack said. +Fore of the mint said the high price for the coin was reached "because it is one of a kind, it is beautiful and it has a great story." +The coin was the only 1933 double eagle that has ever been legally offered for sale, and its Maltese Falconesque history only recently came to light, thanks to documents unearthed during the five-year legal battle over its ownership. +In 1792, it was deemed that all gold and silver U.S. coins would bear the depiction of an eagle, but gold pieces were issued only after a gold rush boom in 1850. +They were called double eagles because their face value was twice that of the original $10 gold piece. +Torricelli also insisted that he had not done any unusual favors for Chang, who first turned to the senator in 1995 for help in winning the repayment of some $71 million he said he was then owed in a failed business deal with the North Korean government. +Following the suggestion of President Theodore Roosevelt, the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens redesigned the coin in 1907 in high relief, forever after giving the coins the designation "saints." +"saints." +But in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt took the United States off the gold standard, and ordered all the 1933 saints already manufactured destroyed, save for two reserved for the Smithsonian Institution. +They were never declared legal currency. +Presumably after being stolen by a mint employee, nine double eagles surfaced during the mid-1940s and 1950s. +They were seized by the Secret Service and melted down. +But before these coins came to light, the royal legation of Egypt turned up with one at the Department of the Treasury, and somehow got an official to issue an export license for the coin to enhance the collection of King Farouk. +By the time that blunder was discovered, the coin had left the United States. +In 1954, after the king was deposed, his coins were sold at auction and the double eagle vanished. +It went underground until it came to Fenton in 1995. +His arrest in Manhattan, after attempting to sell the coin for $1.5 million, led to a court battle over whether -- thanks to the Treasury's mistaken export permission in 1944 -- the coin could be legally owned. +The coin once again escaped destruction when it was moved from the Treasury Department vault in 7 World Trade Center eight months before the building collapsed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. +The record price was seen as a gift by coin collectors. +"Many people believe that our great coin rarities are vastly undervalued in comparison to old master paintings," +"Many people believe that our great coin rarities are vastly undervalued in comparison to old master paintings," Deisher said. +In a ceremony after

will receive a certificate of transfer stating just that, but only after paying the auction price and a fee of $20 for the face value of the coin. +Your acceptance of a television and stereo CD player

Cuomo, McCall's opponent, by offering voters a straightforward introduction to the candidate, emphasizing his long list of high-level jobs in both the public and private sector. +It also emphasizes leadership, an important campaign issue after Sept. 11. +At the same time it gives McCall a chance to intertwine his boot-straps story with the broader issue of children and education, a priority of many Democratic voters. +The New Jersey Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned the death sentence of Leslie Ann Nelson, a transsexual go-go dancer who killed a police officer and an investigator with an AK-47 rifle. +The court, vacating Nelson's death sentence for the second time, ruled on two grounds: that the jury could have been confused by instructions on the verdict sheet and that the prosecutor made improper accusations in his closing argument. +Nelson, 44, had been the only woman of 14 people on New Jersey's death row. +The ruling, which does not affect Nelson's guilty plea, sends the case back to the trial court for resentencing. +The state attorney general's office has not decided whether to seek the death penalty again, a spokesman, Peter Aseltine, said Tuesday. +The court upheld the sentence of another death row inmate, Robert O. Marshall, convicted of arranging the murder of his wife at a picnic area on the Garden State Parkway. +In its 5-to-0 decision in the Nelson case, the court showed continuing uneasiness with the death penalty, as it has done even since adopting a voluminous set of review procedures in 1999 to govern capital cases. +Justice James R. Zazzali and Justice Virginia Long said in a separate opinion that in addition to the reasons given in the majority opinion, also written by Zazzali, they believed the death penalty would constitute cruel and unusual punishment because of Nelson's history of emotional disturbance. +Zazzali and Long had expressed similar reservations in June 2001 when the court overturned the death sentence of Thomas J. Koskovich, who was 18 when he killed two pizza deliverymen in an ambush. +The majority opinion Tuesday said the court would impose higher standards in capital cases when reviewing prosecutors' conduct and possibly ambiguous jury instructions. +While all five members of the majority found the instructions to the jury on weighing aggravating and mitigating factors to be confusing, two of those justices wrote in a partial dissent that the prosecutor's statements in his summation about the defense's expert witnesses were within the bounds of acceptable argument. +The committee did not confirm some of the most serious allegations, including Chang's claim that he gave Torricelli tens of thousands of dollars in cash. +Two of the court's members, Chief Justice Deborah T. Poritz and Justice Peter G. Verniero, did not participate in the Nelson case because both are former attorneys general. +Nelson, born Glenn Nelson, had severe psychological problems and a history of reclusive behavior into adulthood, and was convicted on a weapons charge in 1988. +After undergoing sex change surgery in 1992, she pursued a career as an exotic dancer. +She pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to death by a jury in 1997. +The Supreme Court overturned that sentence in July 1998, ruling that the prosecution had failed to disclose important information to the jury. +A second jury sentenced Nelson to death in March 2001. +In Marshall's case, the 5-1 decision upheld a lower court's dismissal of his petition for further review of his 1986 murder conviction. +Marshall, an insurance agent from Toms River, was convicted of hiring a man to kill his wife while the couple were going home after an evening of dining and gambling in Atlantic City. +The case was the subject of Joe McGinniss' best-selling book "Blind Faith." +"Blind Faith." +The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31: +The committee said it had weighed the fact that Torricelli's principal accuser in the case had been Chang, "a witness whose credibility has been called into question by the Department of Justice, a United States District judge and his own conduct." +President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt describes himself as America's leading Arab ally. +Yet his anti-democratic behavior is an embarrassment to Washington and an affront to his own people. +The latest example is Monday's re-sentencing of Saad Eddin Ibrahim, a sociologist and human rights activist, to seven years in prison for his efforts to register voters, monitor elections and report attacks on Egypt's Coptic Christians. +The verdict should be annulled, not just on humanitarian grounds but because his prosecution is an abrogation of the most basic standards of justice. +Ibrahim's harsh punishment sends a chilling message to Egyptians yearning for a more accountable and tolerant society. +Egyptian courts are neither fair nor independent. +Like every other government institution, they hew closely to Mubarak's wishes. +That is especially true of the State Security Court that ruled in this case. +"a witness whose credibility has been called into question by the Department of Justice, a United States District judge and his own conduct." +Nor is it likely his sentence would have been reaffirmed if Mubarak believed that convicting an American citizen for promoting democracy and human rights might jeopardize his own standing with the Bush administration and the $2 billion annual American subsidy that keeps his government afloat. +That aid bonanza was granted to reward Mubarak's predecessor, Anwar Sadat, for signing a peace treaty with Israel. +Washington has never demanded good governance and democracy from Cairo in return. +In recent months President Bush has spoken of the need to promote democracy in the Arab world. +It is time to extend this policy to Egypt. +While hardly the worst example of dictatorship in the Middle East, Egypt is one of the saddest. +It is a country with a long and glorious history, a substantial middle class, a peace treaty with Israel and large quantities of American aid. +Under Mubarak it has squandered economic and diplomatic opportunities and relentlessly stifled political debate. +Its official media are awash in anti-American and anti-Semitic propaganda. +The State Department and American officials in Cairo have issued diplomatically phrased protests of Ibrahim's trial and sentence. +What is needed is a message delivered personally by Bush and other top officials not only about the inexcusable treatment of Ibrahim but of the contemptuous approach to democratic values. +In May, that judge sentenced sentenced Chang to 18 months' imprisonment for obstructing justice and making $53,700 in illegal campaign contributions to Torricelli's 1996 Senate campaign. +The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31: +Responding to a wave of public dismay over the first designs for rebuilding Lower Manhattan, Gov. George Pataki has sent word that it's time to go back to the drawing board. +It is the right message, sent while it is still early enough to do something constructive about the disappointing quality of the work so far. +The governor, like Mayor Michael Bloomberg, now seems committed to creating a better mix of uses for ground zero, and a 24-hour community in Manhattan's downtown. +While rethinking the plans will delay the original rebuilding schedule slightly, it does not need to stall progress if the governor keeps the pressure on the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. +and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. +Pataki openly questioned the Port Authority's requirement that any plan for the site replace all the office, hotel and retail square footage lost in the attack on Sept. 11. +Renegotiating that issue with the World Trade Center leaseholders should begin immediately. +The city also needs to begin openly discussing what happens underground, in particular with the transportation network. +At this point, planners have focused on short-term repair of PATH and subway lines, with medium-range proposals being shopped in Washington that could untangle the disorganized web of subway lines downtown. +But at the time of Chang's sentencing, the judge, Alfred M. Wolin, also said the businessman had cooperated closely with federal investigators, providing them with information that was "material and credible." +Within the next few weeks the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. +and the Port Authority should offer some bigger ideas about how to connect the downtown area better to the rest of the region. +Lowering West Street alongside the World Trade Center site and building a park or esplanade on top is another option that has been popular with those reviewing the first six public proposals. +But it would be expensive, and the governor, the mayor and their friends in Washington will have to look at long-range ways to pay the bill. +Pataki's recent remarks are a sign that he understands how central the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan will be to his own political legacy. +Now he needs to follow through with action, to keep demonstrating that his core concern is coming up with the best possible plan, not simply keeping the issue on hold until after this fall's election. +The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31: +President Bush has now unveiled his long-awaited "Clear Skies" proposal, which he promises will simplify and strengthen the Clean Air Act without crippling American industry. +A debate on how to make the 32-year-old Clean Air Act a stronger and more efficient instrument is surely long overdue. +But the Bush plan falls well short of the only other credible proposal on the table, a bill sponsored by Sen. James Jeffords, Independent of Vermont. +Like Jeffords, the president calls for substantial reductions in three major pollutants -- the nitrogen oxides that produce smog, sulfur dioxide, which causes acid rain, and mercury. +But he ignores emissions of carbon dioxide, the main global warming gas. +That is a huge omission. +Even for the pollutants he addresses, Bush's timetable is too leisurely. +He aims to reduce all three by 70 percent by 2018. +"material and credible." +The Jeffords proposal would make the same sizable reductions by 2008. +Finally, the Bush proposal would roll back key provisions of the existing Clean Air Act that Jeffords would keep. +Bush argues that the regulatory mechanisms he has in mind for reaching Clear Skies' goals, chiefly a market-based emissions trading scheme, will be so effective that the need for many existing rules will disappear. +The ethics committee has the power to punish lawmakers with sanctions ranging from public or private letters of admonition to censure or expulsion. +This page has long embraced emissions trading as an essential tool for reducing pollution at manageable cost. +But some regulations, aimed at specific regional problems that nationwide trading alone is unable to address, cannot lightly be abandoned. +Indeed, Bush has already made clear his intention to roll back one of the most important of these regulations, a provision known as new source review that compels utilities to install modern pollution controls whenever they significantly upgrade older plants. +The 1970 Clean Air Act is a landmark statute, deserving of thoughtful improvement. +The Bush bill, as written, is not the way to get there. +In Torricelli's case, it acted without conducting a full investigation, saying the case had been exhaustively scrutinized by federal authorities. +"This matter was far more serious than what the committee found," +"This matter was far more serious than what the committee found," Simon said. +According to two government officials involved in the inquiry, the Ethics Committee received a vast amount of information from federal investigators, some of it under a court order issued in March. +That information included witness statements, store receipts and other documents indicating that Chang had paid for expensive items given to Torricelli, his sister, one of his longtime aides, Roberta Stern, and one of Torricelli's former girlfriends, Judy D. Balaban. +The committee's letter did not mention Chang's reported gifts to Torricelli of an $8,100 Rolex watch, about a dozen Italian-made suits and a $3,816 antique grandfather clock. +Nor did it cite a $1,590 Oriental carpet that Chang gave to Torricelli's former wife, Susan Holloway Torricelli. +"Your actions and failure to act led to violations of Senate rules (and related statutes) and created at least the appearance of impropriety," +"Your actions and failure to act led to violations of Senate rules (and related statutes) and created at least the appearance of impropriety," the three Democrats and three Republicans on the committee said in a three-page letter to Torricelli. +A government official involved in the inquiry said that evidence of those gifts was either incomplete or the subject of conflicting accounts by different witnesses. +The committee confirmed Torricelli's claims he had made partial repayments to Chang for two gifts: a large-screen television and a stereo compact-disc player. +But it said the senator had showed "poor judgment" by failing to reimburse him for the full market value of the gifts. +"poor judgment" +A person familiar with Torricelli's testimony to the committee said he had told its members that he repaid the "wholesale" cost of the appliances because Chang told him that was what he had paid. +"wholesale" +The statues, the existence of which had not been publicly known before, were displayed in Torricelli's Senate office. +Finally, the committee appeared to have discounted Torricelli's contention that he was not responsible for expensive earrings that Chang had given as Christmas gifts to his sister, Stern and Balaban. +The senator's belief "that such items were of little value or were not gifts to you under the circumstances" displayed poor judgment and violated Senate gift rules, the panel found. +"that such items were of little value or were not gifts to you under the circumstances" +According to a government official involved in the inquiry, the information reviewed by the Ethics Committee also included an analysis by federal investigators showing that during the period in which Chang claimed to have made numerous cash payments to Torricelli, the senator spent thousands of dollars more in cash than investigators could account for from his bank withdrawals and other known sources of income. +The analysis, which was assembled from banking and credit records, income-tax returns and congressional financial-disclosure forms, showed by March of 1998, Torricelli's cash expenditures were more than $22,000 in excess of the cash he had generated from checks and automatic-teller machines, an official who has reviewed the document said. +A spokeswoman for Torricelli, Debra DeShong, said he had fully accounted for all the money he had spent. +Even after the ethics committee admonished Torricelli on Tuesday night, one of his most important political supporters, Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., continued to defend him, stating that the panel had found Chang "a witness wholly without credibility." +"a witness wholly without credibility." +"extensive campaign of misinformation and deceit," +"Only then will New Jersey voters be able to decide Torricelli's fitness for office." +U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived here on Tuesday night for meetings with fellow foreign ministers aimed at solidifying a second front, in Southeast Asia, in the campaign against global terrorism. +But he has had to balance that goal with longstanding concerns about human rights abuses in the region. +In meetings on Tuesday in Malaysia and Singapore before touching down in this oil-producing sultanate for two days of talks with members of the Association of South East Asian Nations, Powell said he repeatedly raised the issue. +The Senate Ethics Committee on Tuesday night "severely admonished" Sen. Robert G.

maximum impact of each of the statements he cites, and to accomplish that effect, uses subtle interludes instead of long-winded introductions. +Not surprisingly, much of the criticism of Moore's film is misguided or outright wrong, often vastly more inaccurate than Moore's work itself. +This is a common technique, but because conservative readers are not familiar with the basics of filmmaking, they believe critics who claim that he is "distorting" the interview. +What he does is standard filmmaking practice. +The same goes for the interview which follows. +Moore's critics would expect us to have him quote Heston in his entirety, have him present fully the PR that the NRA has used to justify its rally in Denver for reasons of "balance". +The NRA was fully aware of the scandal it would cause through its rally and decided to push on because they believed to have enough media support to successfully do so. +They were right. +You claim that there was "no way to change location, since you have to give advance notice of that to the members, and there were upwards of 4,000,000 members." +10 days are more than enough to give advance warning of a change in location or date, had the NRA really wanted to. +Moore presents the most important part of the speech to back up this point and ignores the fluff. +This is what good documentary filmmaking is about. +And here the critics again ignore important evidence: +When Heston mentions the mayor of Denver, the crowd boos loudly. +Heston maganimously holds up a hand to read the mayor's letter (only to explain in detail why he chose to ignore the request -- not mentioning at all the reasons you have given!) +4) The Kayla Rolland case. +The rally took place on October 17, the shooting on February 29. +Again, standard filmmaking techniques are interpreted as smooth distortion: +"Moore works by depriving you of context and guiding your mind to fill the vacuum -- with completely false ideas. +It is brilliantly, if unethically, done." +As noted above, the "from my cold dead hands" part is simply Moore's way to introduce Heston. +Did anyone but Moore's critics view it as anything else? +He certainly does not "attribute it to a speech where it was not uttered" and, as noted above, doing so twice would make no sense whatsoever if Moore was the mastermind deceiver that his critics claim he is. +Concerning the Georgetown Hoya interview where Heston was asked about Rolland, you write: "There is no indication that [Heston] recognized Kayla Rolland's case." +This is naive to the extreme -- Heston would not be president of the NRA if he was not kept up to date on the most prominent cases of gun violence. +Even if he did not respond to that part of the interview, he certainly knew about the case at that point. +His documentary is full of subtle humor, jaw-dropping dialogue and dark contrasts. +The reason the sentence is highlighted is not to deceive the viewer into believing that Heston hurried to Flint to immediately hold a rally there (as will become quite obvious), but simply to highlight the first mention of the name "Kayla Rolland" in the text, which is in this paragraph. +It would have been fair for Moore to point out this possible misinterpretation on his website. +However, the claim of deliberate distortion is ludicrous for several reasons: +a) Moore clearly states that "before he came to Flint", Heston gave an interview. +In the excerpt from said interview, we can see that it is from March. +All in all, it is an accurate portrayal of America's gun and violence culture. +If Moore wanted to deceive his viewers, why would he say this, and show the month the interview was published? +b) Why should Moore leave the words "Clinton is on the Today Show" visible in the text, which is necessary to correctly interpret the highlighted part? +I reviewed the sequence several times and it is perfectly possible to see this text without pausing. +c) Both the "soccer mom" interview and the sequences showing the NRA rally make no effort to distort the fact that this rally happened months after the fact. +"we wanted to let the NRA know that we haven't forgotten about Kayla Rolland" +You make the hysterical claim that the interview "may be faked" (on the basis that no name is shown for the interviewee), but if Moore had faked it, why the hell should he put this sentence in the protestor's mouth, which directly contradicts the conclusion that the rally happened hours after Kayla's death? +Why did Moore, the masterful deveiver, not edit this sequence out? +This makes no sense. +Opinions may vary on how tasteless it was for Heston to hold a pro gun rally on the location of the nation's youngest school shooting months after the fact, but this sequence of "Bowling" is without doubt the most unfair to Heston. +The somewhat inept editing of the NRA press release has led some viewers to wrong conclusions, which is unfortunate, but Moore's critics have no interest in viewing the matter fairly. +In any case, at no point does Moore make a false statement, in contradiction to claims by critics that his documentary is "full of lies". +"Having created the desired impression, Moore follows with his Heston interview." +You accuse Moore so often of changing the chronology, yet you have no problems changing it yourself. +The Heston interview is at the very end of the movie. +On your webpage, you state that "Moore's resolution is questionable. +After the Flint rally comes a brief TV interview with Heston, where he is asked about Kayla Rolland (again, clear evidence that the local media in Flint raised questions about the NRA's presence), then an inteview with country prosecutor Arthur Busch, entirely ignored by critics of the film, who also mentions Heston's presence as notable, and refers to the immediate reactions of "people from all over America", gun owners/groups who, according to him, reacted aggressively to warnings of having guns accessible to children, much like spanking advocates react aggressively when anti-spankers point to a case of a child being killed or severely injured by a beating. +"Moore's resolution is questionable. +After all, early in the movie he discards the possibility that playing violent video games and watching violent flicks can cause violence -- because Canadians like, and Japanese positively love, those. +These people do not feel the need to express sympathy, or to think about ways to avoid such incidents, but they feel the need to assert their "rights" and to look for quick, simple answers -- as Busch states, gun owners wanted to "hang [the child] from the highest tree". +This is all not mentioned by critics of Moore's movie, who claim to be objective. +Perhaps the best example of the paranoia surrounding Moore's film is your sub-essay "Is the end of the Heston interview itself faked? +Moore answers a simple question -- how could the scene have been filmed -- with a simple answer: two cameras. +From this, you construct an obscure conspiracy of "re-enactment": "For all we can tell, Moore could have shouted 'Hey!' to make Heston turn around and then remained silent as Heston left." +"For all we can tell, Moore could have shouted 'Hey!' to make Heston turn around and then remained silent as Heston left." +'Hey!' +Even if your "re-enactment" theory is true (and I see no evidence that you have actually tried to ask the people involved in the filmmaking for their opinion), this itself is not unethical, and you have no evidence whatsoever that Moore has done anything unethical here, just like you have no evidence that Moore has unethically removed parts of the interview. +6)Animated history of the US. Of course the cartoon is highly oversimplified, and most critics consider it one of the weakest parts of the film. +But it makes a valid claim which you ignore entirely: That the strategy to promote "gun rights" for white people and to outlaw gun possession by black people was a way to uphold racism without letting an openly terrorist organization like the KKK flourish. +Did the 19th century NRA in the southern states promote gun rights for black people? +I highly doubt it. +But if they didn't, one of their functions was to continue the racism of the KKK. +This is the key message of this part of the animation, which is again being ignored by its critics. +If violent movies and violent videogames cannot cause violence -- then how can newscasts about violence do so?" +7) Buell shooting in Flint. +You write: "Fact: The little boy was the class thug, already suspended from school for stabbing another kid with a pencil, and had fought with Kayla the day before". +"Fact: The little boy was the class thug, already suspended from school for stabbing another kid with a pencil, and had fought with Kayla the day before" +This characterization of a six-year-old as a pencil-stabbing thug is exactly the kind of hysteria that Moore's film warns against. +It is the typical right-wing reaction which looks for simple answers that do not contradict the Republican mindset. +The kid was a little bastard, and the parents were involved in drugs -- case closed. +But why do people deal with drugs? +Because it's so much fun to do so? +It is equally well known that the so-called "war on drugs" begun under the Nixon administration is a failure which has cost hundreds of billions and made America the world leader in prison population (both in relative and absolute numbers). +In poor areas, the highly profitable drug business obviously is often seen as the last resort. +But the real cause here are not the drugs themselves, but poverty and the "war on drugs". +This is a faulty generalization. +Had the boy's mother not been shipped to a "welfare to work" program, she might at least have had some time to spend with her son. +Virtually every child psychologist knows that mother/child bonding is essential for the development of empathy and social abilities, the awareness of the consequences of one's actions, and the learning of conflict resolution by non-violent means. +If, as Moore implies (although never states as fact), video games and violent movies are relatively harmless, it does not logically follow that all types of media presentation are harmless. +Even the official quoted by Moore blames the welfare to work program, knowing full well that the drug issue is a red herring. +Once again, your emphasis on the little boy as a thug confirms Moore's (and Busch's) assertion that people wanted to hang the child from the highest tree instead of looking at the real causes. +That's because while there is a so-called war on drugs, there is no war on poverty. +Poverty is frequently portrayed as natural, and the poor in America are seen by conservatives as VCR-owners who are just too lazy to work. +In reality, what Moore describes here is the most vivid example of what can only be called wage slavery I have ever seen, to the detriment of families. +It is notable that the Wall Street Journal's reaction to this segment of the film was even more dismissive than yours: It called Moore's claim "preposterous". +, probably the most comprehensive among many rebuttals of the Oscar-winning documentary. +How could he even think about blaming poverty and forced labor programs for anything bad that happens? +8) Taliban and American aid. +After the September 11 attacks, it was necessary for conservatives to somehow explain away the fact that the US government gave 245 million dollars to the new evildoers du jour. +Never mind the fact that authors such as Robert Scheer warned of aiding the Taliban as early as in May 2001. +Never mind that in a regime that is controlled by warlords, it does not matter who is authorized to distribute the aid -- the ruling regional warlords will seize control of it and use it to their own advantage. +Never mind that this very argument has been used by hawks in opposition to sending humanitarian aid to Iraq's Saddam Hussein. +Never mind that the Taliban continued selling opium in spite of the deal. +There is a huge difference, for example, between playing a game like "Quake" and listening to a radio broadcast that tells you that your family will be killed unless you take action to kill others now. +Never mind that this is all documented on Michael Moore's website about the film. +9) Gun homicides. +That's because they know all too well that Moore is correct: The United States have a far greater homicide rate (both gun- and non-gun) than most other first world countries. +Not surprisingly, guncite, too, compares data from different years -- as I know from personal experience, it is quite difficult to do comparisons of crime statistics due to differences in reporting frequency and methodology. +The gun homicide rates for the countries Moore mentioned, according to guncite, are: Japan: 0.02 per 100,000 (1994)England/Wales: 0.11 per 100,000 (1997)Germany: 0.22 per 100,000 (1994)Australia: 0.44 per 100,000 (1994)United States: 3.72 per 100,000 (1999) +Critics fail to credit Moore with not making the same mistake that some gun control advocates make -- concluding that gun ownership "leads" to violence. +It is intuitively obvious that guns do not actually cause violence -- but it is equally intuitively obvious that they make the violence that is committed more deadly. +It is the second intuition which gun rights groups like the NRA seek to obscure using fraudulent data by the likes of John "Mary" Lott. +The gun control movement, on the other hand, distracts from the real causes of violence -- poverty, paranoia, the "war on drugs" and antisexuality. +If these causes were addressed, gun ownership in the United States would not be a problem (but also unnecessary); just like it is in Switzerland. +10) Canada ammunition purchase. +He asks us to "look at what I, a foreign citizen, was able to do at a local Canadian Wal-Mart." +"look at what I, a foreign citizen, was able to do at a local Canadian Wal-Mart." +He buys several boxes of ammunition without a question being raised. +"That's right. I could buy as much ammunition as I wanted, in Canada. +Canadian officials have pointed out that the buy is faked or illegal. +Once again, you fail to distinguish between regular film editing and "faking" (a word which "Canadian officials" have never used; for such a distortion, Moore would have been boiled alive by his critics). +If Moore simply chose not to show how he revealed his identification to the salesperson, there is nothing fraudulent about that. +His claim that it is possible to purchase ammunition in supermarkets is independent from that claim. +11) Heston's allegedly implied racism. +Similarly, the main motivation for the crusades (beyond the promise of wealth) was that Christians were supposedly being slaughtered and had to be saved. +While this can in part be explained with his age and mental condition, if he is unable to defend the interests of the NRA, he should not be their spokesman. +In this case, Hanlon's Razor can be applied to Heston -- he is probably not racist, but incompetent. +If Heston makes himself look like a fool, that should hardly be blamed on Michael Moore. +Conclusion +You write: "Bowling for Columbine is dishonest. +"Bowling for Columbine is dishonest. +It is fraudulent. +To trash Heston, it even uses the audio/video editor to assemble a Heston speech that Heston did not give, and sequences images and carefully highlighted text to spin the viewer's mind to a wrong conclusion." +None of this is true. +What is true is that Bowling for Columbine is a diamond in the small world of big screen documentaries, one that shines brightly and illuminates an often misunderstood aspect of American culture. +Obviously, media propaganda can incite people to kill. +Had Moore wanted to make a propaganda film, he would have used other material: photos from America's Emergency Rooms. +Certainly, Moore is one of the most talented filmmakers in the United States today, and his film fully deserved its Oscar. +The shrill (and remarkably unsuccessful) Internet campaign to "revoke" his award seems to be motivated more by jealousy than by real concerns about the film's accuracy. +Interactive fiction like video games, on the other hand, presents violence in a narrative context, which may very well desensitize participants to said violence, but no causative link has ever been proven. +It is not only the highest grossing non-music documentary of all time, among the users of the largest Internet film database, IMDB, it is also the highest rated one. +According to the LA Times, the documentary genre "owes a huge debt to Michael Moore" -- after Bowling's success, films like "Spellbound" and "Capturing the Friedmans" were taken seriously and shown in many more theatres than otherwise likely. +But perhaps the campaign against Moore is really motivated by another reason. +His next project has the working title "Fahrenheit 9/11: The temperature at which freedom burns", and he intends to launch it shortly before the next US presidential election. +After all, the same kind of PR blitz was started against the previous record-holding documentary: "Roger & Me" by Michael Moore. +This text is in the public domain. +Moore's hypothesis (which apparently comes at least in part from the book "Culture of Fear" by Barry Glassner, also advertised on Moore's website) is that the constant bombardment with messages of fear can incite paranoia, which itself can lead to violent acts. +Critics have now gone so far as to call for the revocation of the award. +This is consistent with the kind of media-incited violence described above, and in no relationship whatsoever to the theory of video game or music incited violence. +It is no surprise, however, that US (and European) media do not question their own propaganda of fear. +Moore's second hypothesis is that America's foreign policy may contribute to the belief that violence is an appropriate means to solve conflicts, a hypothesis which is shared by many sociologists and psychologists. +Children who grow up in war-torn regions are known for having similar views -- war is perceived as a normal part of existence, violence as a natural way to solve disputes. +Their chances are small, however, as their arguments rely on polemic, exaggeration and misrepresentation -- in other words, on the same techniques which they accuse Moore of using. +In a weaker sense, the same message is projected to American children, who grow up being told that it is not acceptable to be violent to one another, but who simultaneously have to endure corporal punishment and media messages about how "the enemies of freedom" are punished. +Moore's film was made before the dead bodies of Qusay and Uday Hussein were paraded on national TV. +Americans were gloating over this demented corpse show: +"They squealed like little piggies too, so you'll have to make do with 'oink, oink, squeeeeeeeallll' for their last words. +'oink, oink, squeeeeeeeallll' +That goes for your grandson Mustafa too, by the way. +Still think fucking with the U.S. was a good idea, Sammy?" +Mustafa was 14 years when he was killed. +Americans cheer the killing of children, yet wonder why their own children grow up to be more violent than those in other nations. +It is paradoxical notions like this one which Moore's film seeks to address. +Inaccuracies +Your webpage list a number of alleged inaccuracies in Moore's movies. +It is true that Moore's film is sometimes unintentionally deceptive, but to call it fraudulent is hyperbole to the extreme. +It is no more so than any other successful documentary of the last decades. +Let's look at some specific criticisms: +1) The bank scene, listed on your website on a separate page. +Critics have stated that this scene was "staged", but in the bank interview, the official tells Moore that the bank has its own vault storing about 500 weapons at any given time. +It is also a licensed firearms dealer which can perform its own background checks. +In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, linked from your site, an employee claims that the gun would have been "normally" picked up at another dealer. +Dear David Hardy, +It is not explained what "normally" is supposed to mean, but that claim flatly contradicts the statement of the bank official in the film. +This sounds more like a later correction for public relations purposes, but of course nobody questions the bank claims when they can be used against Moore. +It is fascinating to watch the organized character assassination of Michael Moore that has been going on in the United States since the release of his last documentary. +The only thing that Moore compressed is the timeframe. +According to the same WSJ interview, "Typically, you're looking at a week to 10 days waiting period." +"Typically, you're looking at a week to 10 days waiting period." +This is plausible -- but entirely irrelevant for the movie, which already makes it quite clear that a background check is being performed. +Moore's detractors have sometimes extended those 7-10 days to several weeks, contradicting the bank's own estimate. +There is nothing inaccurate whatsoever about the bank scene. +The bank does exactly what it advertises: It hands out guns from its vault to those who open an account. +The silly criticisms of the scene obscure the real obscenity of the situation: a bank handing out guns to its customers, higlighting the utter laxness of how Americans deal with deadly weapons and a love of firearms that borders on the religious. +2) The Lockheed-Martin interview. +This is perhaps the criticism repeated the most often, and it also the most inaccurate. +First, the actual quotes from the film are often reproduced incorrectly. +The dialogue goes as follows: +A defense of Michael Moore and "Bowling for Columbine" +"So you don't think our kids say to themselves, gee, dad goes off to the factory every day - he builds missiles. +These are weapons of mass destruction. +"I guess I don't see that specific connection because the missiles that you're talking about were built and designed to defend us from somebody else who would be aggressors against us." +In a time of simple-minded patriotism, loud, clear and dissenting voices like Mr. Moore's are perceived as disturbing and have to be silenced, partially through well funded public relations campaigns, partially through conservative "grass-roots" propaganda. +Moore is not from Colorado -- his question is generic, not meant to refer specifically to the Lockheed Martin plant in question. +McCollum understands it this way -- otherwise he would protest against the plant being mischaracterized. +However, critics of Moore have cleverly ignored McCollum's response and presented Moore as spreading lies about the Lockheed plant. +Even Lockheed did not believe the public to be that gullible. +In response to one Moore detractor, McCollum wrote: "Although other units of Lockheed Martin Corporation elsewhere in the country produce weapons to support the defense of the U.S., we make no weapons at the Littleton-area facility Moore visited." +Of course, critics have conveniently ignored the fact that Lockheed Martin does supply weapons of mass destruction to the US military, and that the company is the nation's largest military contractor. +As Moore correctly points out, it is bizarre for a society to openly embrace the production of destructive weapons, but on the other hand see no connection of this to everyday violence -- children learn by imitating adults. +Yes, Moore makes this point through slight exaggeration by moving with the camera through the LM plant -- but he makes no incorrect statement. +It is typical for his critics to jump on what is at most a slightly misleading implication, but in doing so, they themselves have, unlike Moore, made many incorrect claims. +3) Denver NRA meeting. +First, the "from my cold, dead hands" part: This is used by Moore as a visual citation to introduce Heston. +It is perhaps one of his most famous quotes, shown on national TV even here in Germany. +It tells viewers: Aha, this is the person we are talking about. +It is Moore's way to say: Viewers, meet Charlton Heston, gun nut extraordinaire. +The "visual of a billboard and a narration" is viewed by you as evidence that Moore is trying to somehow tie the two events together, when in reality, it is quite obvious that he does it to separate the introduction of Heston from his speech in Denver. +If you do have something better to do, though, by all means do it . +Granted grading papers is important, but no fun makes for a boring life. +I should know. +since, when I was your age I had fun playing with my adorable son and caring for another baby. +You need to try to have a life outside your computer. +Just saying....it seems I have more life now then you have and we know how little I get out! +The one that really stuck in my mind was explaining transitions in the panels of Watchmen . +I'd read Watchmen a short while before and appreciated its narrative complexity, but not being used to reading comics, hadn't registered all the technical tricks that the artist was using to achieve this. +The post not only taught me something about the grammar of such images, but more importantly led to me realising that there is a grammar to look for in the first place. +So thanks a lot for that one. +SEK, I started going through your back posts and noticed a pattern in my selections, so I think it would be easier (for me, because I'm rubbish with html) to just say all the scene analysis posts and the close reading comics posts, like the one Magistra mentioned and many others after that. +Plus Justifying Comics as a Legitimate Object of Study Parts I & II. +I also liked "Teaching the Overdetermined Image. +Your takedown of Cashill and the whole Ayers-wrote-Dreams was excellent, and the Cruel_cruel_death post (you know what I'm talking about, right? +Also, The Day in Actual Communist and Real Nazi History seems as relevant today as ever. +I don't remember if you've made noises here before about turning these into a book, but if you do you've got at least one reader. +What happened to your post that appeared in my RSS reader yesterday? +Would it be possible to arrange your posts into three 'parties', and give your many readers the opportunity to 'vote' for one of them, by 'secret ballot'? +However, when I started looking through my archives, it occurred to me that my output this year defines me much more sharply than in years past. +I can't believe I wrote all that last year. +What do I mean? +The posts I consider foundational to my current professional identity all seem to have been composed in 2009. +Granted, the likelihood that I'm suffering from the identitarian equivalent of presentism is awfully high, but I honestly thought I'd written some of the posts from early 2009 in 2006 or so. +Because I've been grading all damn day and am as tired as a Swearengen of hearing other about the finished semesters of pretty much every other academic blogger, I thought that it might be best to avoid jealously lashing out and scribble a "Best of Acephalous 2009" post. +If you have absolutely nothing better to do on a Friday night, feel free to scan through my 2009 archives and tell me what you think should be included in the "Best of" post. +I noted on Facebook that, from a statistical perspective, what makes baseball such an amazing sport is that you can watch it your entire life and still see, on a daily basis, something you’ve never seen before. +The fact that I can verify vague memories of events that occurred twenty-five years ago astounds me in a way I sometimes forget the Internet is capable of doing. +This realization is obviously not of world-historical importance, merely a reminder that this thing whose existence we take for granted daily represents a fundamentally weird complement to human memory. +The fact that at some point in the future I can know who I rode in an elevator with on 28 December 2005 is less weird because I chose to write about riding in an elevator with Grimace . +Joe Sambito. +Wow. +I'd completely forgotten about him. +Closest I came to that was watching Dale Murphy get tagged out at the plate on what would have been an inside-the-park slam. +He pitched for the Astros before he came to the Mets, stayed for '85, then he pitched for the Red Sox against the Mets in '86 World Series. +I remember him being ineffective, and as it turns out, he was . +Now that I remember him, which I didn't before, I remember him as being the pitcher who'd pitched for 1) the team the Mets faced to get to the '86 Series and 2) the one they faced in it. +Memory, as Gertrude Stein would say, is funny. +Apparently the drug use, sexual excess, and weird UCI experiences haven't softened your brain yet. +What's really bothersome, though, is when you only remember things from your distant past. +My grandpa was alert till the end, but when I last saw him at age 92 everything he wanted to talk about was 70 years in the past. +The Internet occasionally reminds me of how different life is because of it. +A guess, but perhaps your grandfather's life at 22 was more interesting than the ensuing 70 yrs. +It’s a truism, I know, but it has the benefit of actually being true. +You know what makes this post great? +No stinking cricket. +Yeah, I remember Sambito from the Astros (when the Braves were in the old NL West because it made sense to have a team 3,000 miles from most of their division rivals). +Solid pitcher for a while. +But burned out toward the end. +Apparently, he is a player's representative now. +Prosthetic memory. +I like to read about others watching baseball more than I like to watch baseball by a factor of nine. +In this case, the something in question was watching the wonderfully named Angel Pagan hit an inside-the-park home run and initiate a triple play in the same game. +It is true that at the end of time, the old time baseball writers will be hailed as the very best writers, as they had access to an event that was susceptible to beautiful writing, but horrendous to watch in person. +Plus, they smoked a prodigious quantity of cigarettes. +John Emerson responded with some humbug about it not being an inside-the-park grand slam, which made me remember that I had seen an inside-the-park grand slam at some time in the remote past. +I remember being six or seven years old and watching the Mets play the Cardinals in an afternoon game at Shea Stadium, and thanks to the miracle of the Internet, I can definitively say that at approximately 4:30 p.m. on 9 June 1985 , I watched Terry Pendleton hit an inside-the-park grand slam off Joe Sambito in a game the Cardinals would go on to win handily. +Diagram of the polarization-opponent unit described by Lambrinos, et al (2000). +The unit takes in polarization levels through the two polarization-sensitive photodiodes and feeds them into the logarithm ratio amplifier, which returns the difference of the logarithmized signals from the photodiodes. +The e-vector (heading) returned from the two polarization-sensitive photodiodes (1, 2) follows a cos2-function. +Ants themselves rely primarily on chemical information taken in through their antennae, and to mimic this, Antie will have chemical sensing and emitting “stalks” with which to both interact with other ants (who may be surprised to find an ant without antennae) and take in chemical information. +These stalks will need to have receptors to measure the n-alkene levels present in another ant’s cuticular hydrocarbons, which research indicates is the marker for harvester ants of a nestmate’s current task, perhaps because the hydrocarbons are altered in the dry sun, causing a different ratio of n-alkanes to n-alkenes and the presence of branched n-alkanes in the hydrocarbon profile (Wagner, et al, 2001, as cited in Gordon & Greene, 2003). +Such a robot would allow for both long-term studies of ant-robot interactions and studies of task-switching in the robots. +Returning successful patrollers have an even greater effect on foraging activity: foragers will not leave the nest unless a patroller returns (Gordon, 2002), and the rate of foraging in a colony can be controlled by rolling glass beads coated with cuticular hydrocarbons extracted from patrollers into the nest (Gordon & Greene, 2003; Greene & Gordon, 2007). +Midden seems to be marked in some olfactory way, since removing midden from nests makes them more likely to be invaded by other species (Gordon, 35). +For the purposes of this proposal, I will assume that the nest maintenance and food processing ants have marked the midden with a particular pheromone. +All of these chemical receptors will be arranged in an array on a pair of chemical stalks, with four of each type of receptor per stalk. +This technique, described by Ishida, et al (2001), has been shown to improve the chemical plume-tracking abilities of robots. +The wires will lead back down through the stalk to the on-board PC. +Finally, Antie will have tactile sensors on its grippers to analyze the pressure being exerted on a gripped object. +These sensors will be of the type patented by Peterson, et al (Patent #4,492,949), and will feature several layers of electrically insulating and parallel flexible conductive rods arranged such that an exerted pressure may be measured in output voltage. +These will correspond to the muscles of the ant’s mandibles, which provide sensorimotor feedback to the ant when grasping objects. +A table of the sensors and their relation to the ant’s sensory system is provided below. +Table of sensors and their relations to the ant. +The red harvester ant lives in hot, dry deserts, building its nests in light yellowy sand and foraging for seeds deposited by winds and rain. +The ants forage for more than 30 different varieties of seeds, many of which do not grow in the desert (Gordon, 54), where only a few varieties of small shrubs, small herbaceous flowering plants and short grasses do grow (Gordon, 51). +Introduction +Motors +Antie’s motors will allow it to move around and interact with its environment and fellow ants. +There will be two individually operated motors to drive the two side wheels in lieu of legs. +A third motor will lift and lower the grippers, allowing Antie to raise and lower gripped items as an ant would by raising and lowering its head. +Three small sprayers will emit successful patroller and forager pheromones and cuticular hydrocarbons from the appropriate sacs. +These will be located in different places: the sprayer for the successful patroller pheromone will be located on the rear at the base of Antie, corresponding to the glands that researchers believe the ants drag along behind them to mark returning paths, while the successful forager and cuticular hydrocarbon sprayers will be located on the skirt. +Antie will not spray different pheromones depending on its task, on the assumption that its time in the sun will alter its hydrocarbons enough that its tasks will be recognizable to other ants. +Other insects and creatures, including other species of ants, are present in the desert, but red harvester ants seem to be relatively undisturbed by these animals (Gordon, 7-11). +Almost all motor output will be a direct function of sensory input as indicated in the following section. +Antie will have a hybrid software architecture: a subsumption hierarchy will be responsible for switching between behaviors, but many sub-behaviors will operate on a schema basis. +Pseudocode will approximate this architecture as closely as possible, and where appropriate, different subroutines running on a schema basis will be marked. +Common Behaviors +A few sub-behaviors will be necessary for more than one behavior. +To ease Antie’s on-board memory requirements and processing capabilities (and to make all the rest of the pseudocode easier for the reader to understand), I propose a few global variables and subroutines. +Though fights sometimes do break out with other red harvester ants from different nests, intraspecies interactions tend not to be aggressive (Gordon, 11). +Background +Because of this, I will ignore other ant species in the design of Antie, and will not create a fighting behavior. +Common behaviors will include a forward cruise and turning mechanism, procedures to determine the orientation towards nest and the distance from the nest when outside, in-nest navigation, an escape function for when objects are detected or bumped into, object identification and gripping, a generic algorithm for pheromone plume and chemical trail following, and the identification of other ants. +Antie will be equipped to navigate in this environment and will be designed to find seeds in sandy soil. +The Ant & the Robot +Ants of this species are of two types: breeding ants (queens and drones) and sterile female workers. +In order to orient itself toward the nest while navigating outside, Antie will need to determine which direction the nest is in and rotate toward that heading, and also how far from the nest it is at its current location. +The orientation and distance should be calculable by the polarization pattern according to the system set up by Lambrinos, et al. +Antie will therefore have a polarization function that will return a compass direction toward which it should orient in order to return home to the nest, and a distance function that will return the shortest direct distance. +We may assume that this first function will return a direction in degrees, positive or negative, and that the second function will return a distance in centimeters. +Queens and drones will not be considered in this proposal, as their behaviors and design is much more specialized and would be applicable only during the breeding season, which occurs but once per year. +The first function might look something like this: +In-nest navigation will be a function of the temperature, read by Antie’s thermometer and a light source. +To exit, Antie will seek a high temperature until the photoreceptor reaches a threshold of stimulation indicating sunlight, and to get deeper, Antie will seek a lower temperature. +The code may look something like this: +This void function will be called nestEnter(), and will take in no inputs. +To avoid bumping into things (including other ants), Antie be provided with an escape function. +Each of Antie’s eight bump sensors will cause the robot to rotate a different amount, and the sonar will cause it to rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction. +Regardless, this will be a very simple function. +I will include one example: +Little is known about brood care, as this occurs only in the deepest regions of the nest and observation would generally require the destruction of the nest. +Because this function responds to the sensors on Antie’s around the sides and only its sonar detectors will be able to detect objects in front of it, this escape function will not prevent Antie from being able to locate and pick up objects such as seeds. +Before picking objects up, however, Antie will need to identify them. +Chemical inputs will be checked to see what this object is most likely to be given its smell. +The code may look something like this: +Nest maintenance and seed processing are likewise difficult to observe in the deeper regions of the nest, but the sorting and deposition of waste dirt and nest garbage outside of the nest (midden work) occurs close enough to the surface to be observable. +Once the object has been identified, Antie may grip it and lift it. +A simple void function grip() taking in no inputs will tighten the grippers until a certain threshold of pressure is reached, at which point the grippers will be lifted for carrying. +A void function release() will perform this same action in reverse. +Antie will also need to follow several different kinds of chemical gradient trails: it will need to track the trails left by successful patrollers, and localize the source of food-odors and midden-odors. +Implementations of chemical gradient following robots using two sensors on “antennae” stalks has been successful in with analog robots in the past (Webb, 1998), regardless of the potential problem of airflow causing a disturbed gradient over evaporating pheromones. +As a partial control for the problem of imprecise sensing, a function will perform an analysis of the array information coming on from Antie’s four sensors on each stalk. +The differences between these outputs is what is being compared everywhere there is a “left_IP” or “right_IP.” +Antie will use the chemical gradient algorithm of Braitenberg’s aggressive type 2 vehicle described in his book “Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology,” as this was found through a series of experiments by Russell, et al (2003) to be very efficient when compared to several biomimetic models. +Because the same general algorithm will be followed for the localization of all three chemical traces, I will provide pseudocode for only one generic subroutine. +Note that a portion of this subroutine does run on a schema basis: +Patrolling and foraging, too, occur for the most part outside of the nest, and have therefore been studied extensively (ex., Schafer, et al, 2006; Gordon, et al, 2002; Gordon, 2002; Gordon, 1987). +Unfortunately, as of yet, no robot has managed to fool a human for more than a few seconds, and no robot has been created that can integrate itself into human society. +For the purposes of calls later in the pseudocode, I will refer to these subroutines as trailFollow(), findFood(), and findMidden(). +All three are void and take no inputs. +The final common subroutine will be one for the identification of other ants. +When both sonar sensors are stimulated simultaneously, Antie will check hydrocarbon inputs and determine whether the detected object is a nestmate. +As harvester ants tend not to engage aggressively with non-nestmates, Antie will only identify other ants as ants if they belong to its nest. +Proposal for a Red Harvester Ant Robot: Colony Infiltration and Task Switching +Antie will attempt to determine the tasks of other ants by sensing only the n-alkene levels. +Using these basic common behaviors, more complex behaviors may be coded. +Red harvester ants do not retain one task throughout their lifespan, but instead change their behaviors as is appropriate for the colony (Gordon, 1996). +Research has shown that red harvester ants switch tasks partially as a function of age (ex., Ingram, et al, 2005) and partially as a function of interactions with other workers (ex., Schafer et al, 2006; Gordon, 2002; Greene & Gordon, 2007). +As a result, I will model the three main behaviors in the order that they are to be engaged in. +Midden work, which consists of moving dirt between the inside of the nest and the outside, will occur first; patrolling, which involves a shorter overall amount of time spent outside, will occur second; and foraging will be the final behavior. +Finally, I will discuss a main method encoding the task switching between these behaviors. +The midden work behavior will be Antie’s default initial behavior. +It will be initiated in the morning by the sunrise, and will continue until the outside temperature reaches 52­­­oC, at which point all red harvester ants must return to the nest. +As previously stated, a midden worker must identify midden, grasp it, and carry it to the surface, depositing it halfway down the mound before returning to collect more midden. +The second behavior, patrolling, involves two sub-behaviors: nest patrolling and trail patrolling. +Nest patrolling will involve leaving the nest, roaming around on the nest mound for a few minutes, and reentering the nest. +Research shows that ants do change their behaviors based partly on their perceived life expectancy (Moron, et al, 2007), and that task-switching is partly genetically controlled by a switch in gene expression as the individual ages (Ingram, et al, 2005). +It is therefore reasonable to assign a constant age at which Antie will switch from nest patrolling to trail patrolling. +In order to perform both of these functions, Antie will need a subroutine to explore in a zig-zag fashion, as harvester ants do (Gordon, 34). +Harvester ants display a preference to wander in familiar territory, though foragers and patrollers do sometimes wander into other nests’ territories (Gordon, 57-60). +In the case of midden work, Antie must be able to identify garbage, grasp it, carry it out of the nest, and deposit it about halfway down the mound before returning to repeat the process ad infinitum (or until stimulated to switch behaviors). +This model is reasonable because patrollers and foragers change their explored territory from day to day, even though they do retain some more commonly chosen paths (Gordon, 45). +Patrolling may be divided into two distinct sub-behaviors, nest patrolling and trail patrolling. +Nest patrollers will only call this behavior for a short distance before returning to the nest to idle for a few minutes and exit again. +Trail patrollers will go much further, until food sources are found, and will then orient towards the nest and create trails for the foragers to follow. +An ant engaged in nest patrolling must exit the nest at the proper time in the morning and wander about for a bit on the nest mound, presumably taking measurements of the temperature and humidity in some way and making sure that it is safe for the other ants to exit. +A general site of food is all that the patroller need find; the foragers will dig through the sand for the food. +Code for the patrolling behavior might look like this (note that part is on a schema basis): +The integers nestpatrol_age and trailpatrol_age will represent the ages at which it is appropriate to switch to these tasks. +Perhaps the level of degradation of the nest patrollers’ cuticular hydrocarbons after this short foray into the sun and heat acts as an indication of the outside conditions to the foragers, who may then, upon smelling the returning patroller, be stimulated either to forage or to remain inactive inside the nest. +The final behavior, foraging, will involve one extra subroutine that will employ an algorithm designed by R. +Andrew Russell to localize an object through sand based on a chemical plume. +This will emulate the digging that foragers must often do in order to locate seeds, and will enable Antie to accurately retrieve seeds for its host nest. +This algorithm will keep track of the last two intensities of the desired chemical input and compare them. +It would also keep track of whether the last rotation was clockwise or counter-clockwise. +The code for this, adapted from Russell’s paper, might look like this: +Foragers will follow trails marked by patrollers to their conclusion before collecting food to bring back to the nest, even if more tantalizing food presents itself in their path (Gordon, 47). +To address this, a strict subsumption hierarchy will make sure that the foragers do not stop to collect food too soon. +The code might look like this: +An ant engaged in trail patrolling must exit the nest, wander around searching for food sources, identify food upon discovery and return to the nest to show the foragers where the food is. +Of course, what makes Antie an innovative robot is the task-switching between these larger behaviors. +Because the midden work behavior is Antie’s initial default behavior, I will not address task switching to midden work. +Workers probably switch to patrolling based on their perceived life expectancy and as a function of a gene whose expression changes between young and old ants, and this is easily emulated using a clock pulse counter in Antie’s CPU that will count its “age” since last boot. +To remind the reader, this technique was implemented earlier in this proposal to create the limited task-switching between nest patrolling and trail patrolling. +The switch from patrolling to foraging has been modeled as a function of successful foragers’ returns with great accuracy by Schafer, et al (2006), and evidence from experiments in which successful foragers were removed before reentry to the nest does support the theory that returning successful foragers have an effect on the activation of new foragers (Gordon, 2002). +Infiltrating insect societies, however, is much simpler. +This is thought to be accomplished by the deposition of chemical markers from a gland on the abdomen that the patroller drags along the ground on her return route to the nest that the foragers may then follow (Gordon, 33-34; Holldobler et al, 1990, as cited in Webb, 1998). +Activated foragers form a queue to exit the nest and exit at a steady rate. +According to Schafer’s, et al. model of forager activation, every time a successful forager returns and no foragers are currently in line to exit, a fraction (modeled at 0.0035) of inactive foragers joins the queue. +For the purposes of modeling Antie, I will assume that the switches between these behaviors are permanent, irreversible and partly a function of age, with new foragers being activated by returning successful foragers. +The code to model this task-switching might look something like this: +Conclusion +Antie will be a fully autonomous, situated and embodied agent, infiltrating a red harvester ant colony and providing valuable information not only about the hypothesized rules of these ants’ behaviors and their task-switching thresholds, but also about the combination of complex behaviors into a single autonomous system with the ability to switch between behaviors as necessary. +In addition to following these trails to the food, foragers must also be able to identify food, grasp it and carry it back to the nest. +Biomimetic robots have long been a rich source of information for both biologists and robotics engineers, and complex robots that can switch tasks as the situation demands and communicate information about current tasks could be useful for further studies of complex robot behaviors as well as for the obvious practical applications of robot swarms, such as on the battlefield and standard building maintenance. +REFERENCES +Ants engaged in all three behaviors must be able to identify other nestmates and their current tasks (as well as indicate to other ants their own nestmate status and current task), walk, navigate both within and outside of the nest, and of course switch tasks at appropriate times. +Extensive research has been done on the interactions of social insects such as honeybees, ants and cockroaches, and in fact robots have passed undetected in cockroach society performing single simple behaviors already (Halloy et al, 2007). +The Agent +Chassis +Antie will be implemented on a tiny Road Warrior robotic system. +Behaviors will be coded in Interactive C, for which some pseudocode is included. +Sensors will include a thermometer, photoreceptors, bump sensors, a polarization compass, and a series of chemical receptors. +Antie be a circular robot, no more than 1cm in diameter (the length of a red harvester ant), with two driving wheels and one rear wheel for stabilization. +A gripper will be located on the front of the robot consisting of two elongated tongs. +Antie will also feature a skirt of bump sensors, sonar detectors and chemical emitters, including sacs of hydrocarbons extracted from ants of the nest being infiltrated and pheromones for successful patrolling and foraging. +These sacs will be refilled at a filling station each morning as Antie determines that they are getting depleted. +Antie will likewise recharge at a special station at night just inside the nest entrance. +For the purposes of this proposal, I will assume that Antie has enough battery life to remain powered the whole day. +Sensors +In an attempt to mimic the red harvester ant as closely as possible, these sensors include a thermometer, photoreceptors, bump sensors and sonar, a polarization compass, and a series of chemical receptors on a pair of stalks corresponding to the antennae. +On its front grippers, Antie will have a tactile skin to sense pressure. +The thermometer will be located on the rear of the robot to keep it out of the way, and will detect and input to the robot the outside temperature in degrees Celsius. +Harvester ants do not exit the nest when the outside temperature is above 52 degrees Celsius (Gordon, 9), and the ability to use a temperature gradient will enable in-nest navigation. +Antie will also be equipped with one photoreceptor located in the middle of the top of its chassis corresponding to the ant’s eyes. +These will be useful for initiating patrolling behavior in the morning and shutting off behaviors at night: the patrollers first poke their heads out of the nest shortly after sunrise and scuttle back in at night (Gordon, 5). +No robot has yet been constructed, however, that could pass undetected within a colony of the red harvester ants species Pogonomyrmex barbatus; nor has a robot managed to pass undetected in a society of insects while combining in its design several different behaviors and the thresholds of stimulation required to switch between them. +The bump sensors and sonar will form a skirt around Antie to keep it from colliding with other objects. +The sonar will constantly be detecting nearby objects and initiate an escape maneuver when their inputs pass a certain threshold of stimulation, and the bump sensors will, when depressed, also initiate the escape function. +The sonar will correspond to the ant’s limited optical object detection ability, and the bump sensors will allow the robot to detect collisions. +The polarization compass will consist of two polarized light sensors placed at 45 and -45 degrees from the center front of Antie, respectively, that will orient Antie towards a desired polarization pattern. +These sensors would correspond to the cells in the ants’ eyes sensitive to polarized light, and research has shown that many insects, including ants, do navigate using a path integration system synthesizing input from a polarization compasses and from a sort of odometer (Labhart, et al, 2002). +Antie would use a system for processing the input from its polarization compass based on the compass designed by Lambrinos, Moller, Labhart, Pfeifer and Wehner in 2000, consisting of two photodiodes with blue filters and polarizers. +The difference of their logarithmized signals would be returned to Antie, who will use a simultaneous model to navigate returns to the nest: Upon each exit from the nest, Antie will take a single 360o scan of the sky, and will orient itself according to an analytical procedure to derive compass information from different polarization patterns perceived later. +This should be sufficient to return Antie to the nest, given the accuracy achieved by Lambrinos, et al and the relatively short periods of time that harvester ants spend outside the nest before returning. +True, the USA has not suffered a successful major attack since 9/11, but this does not mean that we are safer. +The

IS TERRORISM? +TERRORISM is "the systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. +We believe that any terrorist act is a crime against humanity and against the will of God, because it deliberately intends to injure and kill innocent people. +Three years have now gone by since the September 11th attacks in 2001, and terrorism is a far greater threat to us now than it was then. +NEUTRALIZING TERRORISM +Our purpose here is to NEUTRALIZE TERRORISM by removing the motivation for it. +Without motivation, terrorism will quickly die down, like a plant without water. +We completely reject the idea that terrorism can be defeated by brute force, because brute force radicalizes the moderates, and they then join the terrorists. +So you end up fighting the entire population. +Brute force has failed in Palestine, and it is failing in Iraq. +And the second-greatest terrorist threat comes from several countries, mainly Israel, who sometimes resort to terrorism themselves, claiming "self-defense," as they desperately try to prevent further attacks by radical Muslims. +In all of these cases above, if the radical Muslims would cease their attacks, all terrorism on both sides of every dispute would quickly end. +Beyond these two sources, there is virtually no terrorist activity in the world, with the possible exception of localized disputes such as in Northern Ireland and occasional domestic episodes in various places involving isolated disaffected groups. +The number and severity of terrorist attacks worldwide has increased dramatically, as has the number of active terrorists. +They need to be identified and attacked. +If the terrorist loses faith in the righteousness of his acts, he is less likely to perform them. +EXAMPLE 1: "Terrorists Offend Allah." +EXAMPLE 2: "Terrorist Murderers Insult Allah, Bring Shame To Islam" +EXAMPLE 3 (LATEST AND BEST! - Framed Below): "Qur'an Forbids Terrorism" +In every case of terrorism, we will find some kind of legitimate underlying grievance. +Is this "negotiating with terrorists" or "trying to appease the terrorists," as some Israeli/NeoCons would try to say? +No. +It is simply recognizing the realities of human motivation, right or wrong. +The Anti-Terrorist - Undermining The Motivation For Terrorism +To deny reality, as the Israeli/NeoCons do, is to invite disaster, as they have done. +BIG PICTURE +A big picture of our entire Anti-Terrorism strategy can be found at our website +Blessings to you. +Before 9/11,

Bill McGinnis , Director - LoveAllPeople.org +Now, many more moderate Muslims have become radicalized, world-wide, willing to kill innocent civilians in order to achieve their purposes. +And the serious targets have expanded to include civilians in Russia, India, Maylasia, the Philippines, Spain, and elsewhere, as well as Israel and its sole supporter, the United States. +Paul Wilson describes the transition from the Introduction to the Exposition as “quite abrupt and seemingly unmotivated,” +Wilson, 173. +but it is in fact this motivic relationship that ties them together and creates a rather smooth transition. +The Exposition +Although the motivic relationship between the Introduction and the first theme of the exposition smooth the transition, nearly every other element changes when the first theme appears. +Harmonic Structure and Form +The drastic tempo and meter changes as well as the first appearances of staccato articulations make it clear to the listener that the introduction is over. +As mentioned, the first theme, the beginning of which is reproduced in Example 8, contains two head motives: the first is the tritone-spanning ascent that appears in the first measure, and the second is an iteration of the interval cell (+5, -2, +5) that appears in the second through third measures. +Bartók describes the form of the first movement as “more or less regular sonata form.” +While the presence of the perfect fourths that was so prevalent in the Introduction is clear in the latter, the former does not employ the perfect fourth in its formation. +Rather, this motive is a small-scale representation of the tonic-dominant relationship of tritone partners, specifically F and B, that is the basis for the harmonic structure of this movement. +Rhythmically, we have a dissonance between the melody, which follows the written meter, and the accompanying chords in the bassoons, horns and lower strings. +As Example 10 shows, the chords are more-or-less in duple meter (4/8 and 2/8) with one “hiccup” occurring in the 5/8 measure. +This is in strict metric dissonance with the triple meter of the melody (with its own “hiccups” occurring in the written 2/8 measures). +As we will later see, this dissonance disappears when this theme returns in the recapitulation. +While that does not seem to be a meaningful assertion, it is perfectly accurate: the movement is in sonata form, but there is an introduction that does not relate thematically to any other parts of the movement (not unheard of in Mozart sonatas), and the recapitulation presents the two themes of the exposition in reverse order. +We have already mentioned that the first theme group is in F—this is made clear from the onset, both in the melodic line and by the F minor triad that occurs on the downbeat of measure 77. +While the material occasionally departs from this F in measures 76-94, these departures are all subordinate to the prolonged F. +E♭ is the tonal center for measures 95-134, although it does not appear as a strong bass note until measure 131. +Measures 95-130 contain a mostly chromatic descent from C to E♭, where E♭ is anticipated throughout as a goal tone for the bass. +Example 11 illustrates this structure. +Note that the initial G♯ is a pickup to the section in C♯, which fills in the whole-tone descent from E♭ to C♯ with the intervening fourth. +This motive also contains the intervallic cell of the second head motive of the first theme in the form of G♯-C♯-B-E (with the addition of some passing tones), in addition to consisting largely of motion by perfect fourths. +Wilson claims that C and E♭ are “local dominants” to F in this first section of the exposition. +While the strong V-I motion from measures 90-91 does carry a tonal implication of dominant-tonic, such cadential bass motion does not imply anything about structural function in this context. +E♭, furthermore, is not convincingly established as a dominant-functioning tone at all. +The passage from measures 85-89 is centered on E♭ (and the pentatonic set from the opening of the exposition is transposed down a whole step), but its mere presence as local tonic does not signify any sort of dominant function. +Rather, we can consider this occurrence of E♭ as a middleground-level whole-tone descent that foreshadows the structural descent to E♭ at measure 131 that is represented in Example 2. +However, as previously mentioned, C acts as a “fake” dominant that in measures 149-155 actually functions as an upper neighbor to B, the “true” dominant. +The descent in measures 91-95 in fact participates in the farce by projecting a descent ending on C, which makes the eventual reinterpretation of C and descent to B stronger. +This creates both a smooth transition to the second theme and a strong sense that a new section is beginning, a combination that is generally rather difficult to forge. +The second theme is tranquil and harmonically simple, which is in stark contrast to the first theme. +B dominates as tonal center from measures 155-191 with little or no harmonic motion away from it. +The “backwards” recapitulation is a technique that Bartók employs frequently because of the formal symmetry it creates. +A♭ intervenes between E♭ and D♭ in measure 195—another instance of the whole-tone being “filled in” by a fourth. +Hence, measures 155-210 constitute the bass progression B-E♭-D♭-B; the same stepwise descent (E♭-D♭) occurred in the first theme group while F rather than B was being prolonged. +In our terminology, this is the point at which B is unequivocally established as the structural dominant. +The Development +As mentioned, the development is divided into three subsections. +In Example 2, the entire development section is represented by exactly three pitches, and indeed each subsection is associated with one of these three pitches as its tonal center—none of these pitches is involved in the structural whole-tone descent. +As Paul Wilson states, the development “is, for Bartók’s music, developmental in a relatively conventional way”; the themes from the exposition are expanded and modified, and tonalities other than those expected arise. +“is, for Bartók’s music, developmental in a relatively conventional way” +For example, the fifth string quartet. +The only slight abnormality, though it is certainly not unheard of even in classical-period sonata movements, is the emergence of a new theme in the second section of the development. +Although Wilson claims that this theme is based on “a transformation in rhythm and contour of the second head-motive of [the first-theme],” +“a transformation in rhythm and contour of the second head-motive of [the first-theme],” +Also see Bartók’s comments on that (Bartók, 414). +there is no intervallic relationship between the two motives, and it is not clear what elements of a motive remain when rhythm, contour and interval content are changed. +Before beginning an analysis of any piece by Béla Bartók, one must first decide to what degree tonal analysis will be used. +Furthermore, this section, being the middle section of the movement, upholds the formal symmetry if interpreted as its own theme. +The first section of the development, measures 231-271, begins with a big D-minor chord which immediately establishes D as the tonal center for the section. +Although it moves to E♭ minor in measure 239, it returns to D minor in measure 248, which suggests that E♭ is an upper neighbor prolonging D. +Example 1 shows a diagram of the form of the movement; the symmetry is apparent within the seven sections following the introduction. +The passage beginning at measure 248, shown in Example 13, can be considered to be the “theme” of this section, and is a development of the second head motive of the first theme. +This motive undergoes inversion and extension throughout the section. +The second section of the development is in C♯ (which is sometimes spelled D♭). +This section is reproduced as Example 14. +This section returns to the calm simplicity (and tempo) of the second section, though apart from affect there are no references to that section. +Although the C♯ major chord in measure 293, preceded by A♭ major (V) in measure 285, suggests C♯ as tonal center, the tonality is not strongly established until measure 303. +Because of its emphasis here in the development section and its position as leading to B in the second theme group, we could conceive of C# as a sub-dominant in this movement. +As the example shows, the development section is divided into three subsections; the first and third subsections draw their thematic material from the first theme group, and the second subsection involves new material not drawn from the exposition. +The third section of the development takes the trombone motive from the transition between the first and second sections of the exposition shown in Example 12, transposed to begin on F, and turns it into a fugato sequence, reproduced in Example 17. +The tonal center B♭ is established immediately in measures 316-318 by the strong V-I chord progression (Example 16). +As previously mentioned, the fugato motive incorporates the motion by perfect fourths found in the Introduction as well as the intervallic cell found in the second head motive of the first theme. +The resultant set is the pentatonic set F-B♭-E♭-A♭-D♭; the entire passage shown in Example 17 remains within this set. +The second and fourth entrances of the fugato subject are transposed up a perfect fifth, but the first note is B♭ rather than C, which allows Bartók to remain in this pentatonic set (and also to reinforce B♭ as tonal center). +The second instance of the fugato section, not reproduced in its entirety but based on the subject in Example 18, is an exact pitch inversion transposed to begin on C. +The inversion blends seamlessly back into the original subject in measure 363. +The following section (measures 363-389) especially brings out the quartal harmonies within the pentatonic set, so much so that B♭ is obscured as tonal center which allows A♭ to emerge as the goal tone of this section—only to be immediately reinterpreted as a leading tone to the A that begins the recapitulation. +Both B♭ and A♭ are chromatic neighbors to A, which intensifies the arrival on A, and brings out the fact that the appearance of A continues the large-scale whole-tone descent that has been left stranded on B for the entire development section. +Hence, on either side of the middle section of the development we have the alternation FTG-STG-FTG which makes the overall form, with the exception of the Introduction, symmetric. +The Recapitulation +The recapitulation, as we have seen, presents the themes in reverse order. +The second theme is initially presented in A, as part of the whole-tone descent, and proceeds directly to G, where it is restated slightly modified. +It is worth pointing out that the arrival on G at measure 425 is led into by D, which constitutes another “filling in” of the whole-step by the intervening fourth. +The A♯ in measure 438 might initially seem to be a new tonal area, but it leads to D in measure 444, which constitutes a V chord still applied to G. +Rather than resolve this D back to G, however, Bartók shifts briefly to F♯ in measure 456 and leads to E in measure 467. +E and F♯ are both active throughout the entire transition from second theme back to first theme (measures 456-487) which brings out their functions as upper and lower chromatic neighbors to F, which returns triumphantly in measure 488 with the much-anticipated recapitulation of the first theme. +The return of the first theme is certainly immediately recognized as such; however, there are some important differences. +Firstly, its initial appearance in the exposition had a minor flare to it; the first chord in Example 9 is an F-minor triad, and the first four notes of Example 8 ascend the F-minor scale. +In the recapitulation of this theme, shown in Example 19, the first chord is an F-major chord, and the A♭ is replaced by A♮ in the melody. +In fact, the chord progression of the first four measures of Example 19 can be thought of tonally as I-vi-V in F major—while we are reluctant to say that this passage is in major (the conspicuous A♭ in measure 490 easily brings doubt to this interpretation), we can certainly say that the minor flare of the beginning has been replaced by a major flare here in the recapitulation. +Paul Wilson also discusses the inherent symmetry of the movement, although his interpretation is somewhat different. +In addition to the “mode”-shift, we notice that the metric dissonance shown in Examples 9 and 10 no longer appears (notice how regular the rhythm of the accompanying figure is in Example 19) and also that the written meter no longer changes. +In other words, the piece, in becoming more regular, is beginning to drive towards the finish—because of the formal structure, the recapitulation of the first theme also serves as the closing section of the movement. +Indeed, this section has the feel of a Coda to it—it is much shorter than any other major section or subsection, and the tonic harmony is active throughout. +See Wilson, 168-170. +Bartók is one of the many early-twentieth century composers whose music fits entirely in the gray area between tonality and atonality. +While we know from his writings that he often composed with a tonal centers and relationships in mind, and that he regularly applied tonal structures and forms to his compositions, by merely glancing at any one of his pieces we can see that tonality as it is understood in the common practice period is not at work. +Thanks largely to the work of tonal theorists such as Heinrich Schenker and others, we have a detailed system for analyzing tonal music—their system, however, is virtually useless in analyzing music that falls entirely on the atonal side of the spectrum. +But if we apply it to music such as Bartók’s that is in the middle area, we can come up with some enlightening and perhaps unexpected results. +To do so was the goal of this analysis of the first movement of the Concerto for Orchestra. +By applying our tonal system to music that slips outside of the tonal realm, we not only find the elements of tonality that do remain, but we also pinpoint exactly when and how this music breaks from previous conventions. +It is not disputed that Bartók’s music has great expressive power—perhaps now we can understand why. +References +The abbreviations FTG and STG stand for First Theme Group and Second Theme Group, respectively. +While “tonality” in this piece (and in Bartók’s music in general) is quite different from its classical interpretation, we find that the harmonic structure is at least analogous to the standard sonata-form structure. +Bartók’s music, although it is often difficult to call completely tonal, never entirely sheds itself of tonal elements and structure. +To begin with, the movement is in F. +When we say “in F,” we do not imply F major (or minor, for that matter)—the major/minor tonal system in general does not apply to this piece—but rather that the pitch-class F is the tonal center of the movement, and acts analogously to the tonic in a Mozartian sonata movement. +Using this interpretation, we can map out the local tonics (tonal centers) used throughout the movement, as shown in Example 2. +Tonal Structure and Form in Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra (I) +In this example, the barlines divide the formal sections of the piece (Introduction–Exposition–Development­–Recapitulation)—so we can immediately see that the tonic F is not established until the exposition begins. +Beginning with the exposition, the large-scale progression of tonal centers is a whole-tone descent from F to F, represented by the stemmed notes in Example 2, while the Introduction ascends from C♯ to F through D♯ (shown as D♭ and E♭ in the graph) in a quasi-bass Anstieg. +The middle pitch of the descent, B, acts as the “dominant” to F, based on its symmetrical division of the whole-tone scale and the fact that the second theme appears in B in the exposition. +This remains true even with one of his last compositions, the Concerto for Orchestra, written two years before his death in 1943. +Bartók has often applied a tonic-dominant relationship to a pitch-class and its tritone partner, and even admits to using that as a compositional framework in his fifth string quartet. +See Bartók, 414-415. +In this particular movement, Bartók feigns moving to the tonal dominant, C, for the second theme before reinterpreting C as a chromatic passing tone between D♭ and B—this and other subtleties shown in Example 2 will be explained in detail in later sections. +Our analysis will focus instead on relating the foreground activity to the overarching background structure. +The graph in Example 2 will serve as a point of departure for the subsequent analysis; while we will periodically refer back to some of its specific elements, it should be understood that even when not explicitly referenced, this graph serves as the explanatory goal of this paper. +The Introduction +As Paul Wilson points out, the title “Introduzione” given to the movement as a whole seems to apply only to the first 75 measures. +The discussion that follows analyzes the first movement of the Concerto, focusing on the tonal structures at play throughout the movement. +The Introduction does not relate thematically to any of the main sections of the movement—in fact, it is the third movement that draws its thematic material from this section—but the harmonic and motivic principles at play here foreshadow some important elements of the entire piece. +To begin with, the opening motive in the celli and basses, shown in Example 3, outlines a pentatonic set and strongly presents C♯ as the tonal center. +The pentatonic set here is exclusively a pitch-class set, and its incarnations throughout the movement are devoid of any connotations associated with the pentatonic scale. +Indeed, this set can be seen more as a by-product of stacked perfect fourths than a generative element itself. +The perfect fourth in fact generates much of the motivic and harmonic material of the entire movement, and its importance is immediately evident in the Introduction with the opening bass motive. +Furthermore, the following two instances of this opening motive, shown in Examples 4 and 5, remove any doubt as to the motivic importance of the perfect fourth, and in turn diminish the importance of the pentatonic set. +Example 4 transitions from C♯ to F♯, and adds pitch-class E to the pentatonic set of Example 3, creating a six-note set of stacked fourths. +Example 5 shows the true dominance of the perfect fourth; the set created is a ten-note set derived by stacking fourths. +If we begin from the final D♯ and ascend the circle of fourths until we reach C we obtain the entire set presented in this example. +Each note is either approached or left (or both) by a fourth, and the structural motion is from F♯ to D♯. +The overall motion in the first 29 measures is C♯ to D♯, through F♯; these are represented enharmonically in Example 2 as D♭, E♭ and G♭. +So the prevailing structural motion of the movement as a whole is a descending whole step and the prevailing melodic motion is a (usually ascending) perfect fourth. +We can connect the two by noting that the descending whole step consists of two ascending fourths; indeed, the structural whole-tone descent is often “filled in” with the intervening fourth. +This motion is exemplified in Example 2 in the second theme group (mm. +We will also examine to what degree a “tonal” reading of this movement is limited in its analytical potential in an attempt to pinpoint exactly where Bartók strays from common-practice compositional techniques. +Each time the motion in Examples 3 through 5 breaks from chains of fourths, the same sequence of intervals occurs: two descending perfect fourths separated by an ascending major second (-5, +2, -5); each instance of this intervallic cell is bracketed in the examples. +This sequence of intervals is the inversion of those found in the second head motive of the first theme of the exposition, shown in measures 2-3 of Example 8. +So although there is no thematic relation between the Introduction and the main sections of the movement, within the first 29 measures we can already see structural, harmonic and motivic elements that apply to the movement as a whole. +The section from measures 35-50 is centered on E; upon the return of D♯, enharmonically respelled as E♭, in measure 58, we see that E acts as its upper-neighbor. +This relationship is somewhat obscured by measures 51-57 however; while there is no clear tonal center for this section, G appears in the outer voices in measure 51, although the harmonic material is reminiscent of C minor. +The concluding motive of this section in the violins (the bracketed sections of Example 6), as well as the bass motive of measure 58ff. +(Example 7), are related to the first head motive of the first theme, which is shown in the first measure of Example 8. +All three of these motives span a tritone, which as mentioned is the “dominant” relationship in this movement. +For this reason white walls are favored over colored ones for both galleries and architectural spaces. +Why in a world filled with color do we feel the need to purge it from our space? +“In the white painted room the clarity of spatial sensation and disposition was surest and most convincing, all the details of the form and color of the furnishings could be developed undisturbed in front of this background…In this a form was discovered which was completely convincing in its simplicity and which could be seen as one of the essential formulas for wall treatment in “closed” spaces” +In the 19th century it became fashionable for bourgeois women to dress in white, while men dressed in black (Wigley). +What exactly is the debate between colorlessness vs color and more specifically can black and white be considered non-colors? +These distinctions proved a certain rational order, only attained by those able to afford of it. +White walls, white clothing, they both require much more maintenance than something colored where a stain can merely hide away among the other colors. +Crisp whiteness on the other hand expresses a sort of luxury, and leisure. +White clothing proved that someone was of a level of society in which they were not forced to work, for the clothing would immediately become soiled if not and thus the reason why women who were the ones to stay at home dressed in all white, while men who were the ones to go out and work wore black, for black did in fact hide stains. +Both as well were signs of the modern age man had reached. +“Pure white was de rigueur, partly because of its exciting novelty, partly because it emphasized the smoothly mechanical texture, and pointed the contrast between it and surrounding nature” +The use of white was proof that man had conquered nature. +The use of white and black in dress and architecture also became a way of distinguishing oneself from the vulgar, normal, lower classes. +Ever since the dawn of man, human society has evolved in ways which attempt to ultimately control nature. +Furthermore, with the advent of industrialization the invention of new synthetic dyes meant that color in dress became democratized for all classes. +Now, anyone could afford to wear colorful clothing and the masses began to dress themselves in what once would have been inconceivable to them. +Thus said, the use of black in white in wardrobe perhaps was a way for the new bourgeoisie to distinguish themselves from the decadence of the upper class and the vulgarity from the low. +“In the prevailing styles of the European bourgeoisie, there long survived a tendency to limit the use of color, with strong emphasis on what are generally thought of as non colors, such as white, black and gray” +Seeing as color is something of the natural world, age old and archaic, washing it away from our lives is the ultimate form of rising above the physical world. +Another reason why it is believed that the bourgeoisie took preference in black and white is because of the Victorian sobriety of the age and their obsession with purity and cleanliness. +Wearing black and white also marked the distinction of labor between men and women and in a highly rigid and segmented society, the wearing of different colors seemed the most obvious way to do so. +This simplicity of dress was seen as a mark of the modern man. +Other major technologies during the age of industrialization also had an effect on this preference for black and white. +Photography took over as a means of portraiture for the bourgeois and the upper class and despite the fact that it was possible to color the photographs, for the most part they were left in black and white because it was seen as more “natural”. +Above all, it is believed that the expanse of literacy and the printed word, mainly the newspaper, had a profound effect in influencing the choice of black and white. +“This world was viewed as orderly and relatively uniform, a world in “black and white” +This led to the idea of writing = rationality = production that confined images, especially images in color, to the emerging field of “art”, which was understood as an essential activity but one that was essentially unproductive, while it assigned to the two-toned and orderly world of printed paper the role of a daily guide to existence” +Black and white became a symbol for the superiority of man’s intellect and technology. +This then translated down into the world of fashion, as seen with the distinction between black and white clothing, as well as art, namely photography but also film and as discussed before architecture and gallery space. +Seeing as since the time of Aristotle, form was valued over that of color, the arts which did not require color to be enjoyed were perceived to be that of a higher form. +The explosion of mass production and printing allowed for a plethora of colorful advertising and consumer goods which came to be known as kitsch. +“Kitsch is a product of the industrial revolution which urbanized the masses of Western Europe and America and established what is called universal literacy” +Kitsch made cheap what once was truly cultural by the way it reproduced it d infinitum. +Greenberg continues by saying, “Kitsch, using for raw material the debased and academicized simulacra of genuine culture, welcomes and cultivates this insensibility. +It is the source of its profits. Kitsch is mechanical and operates by formulas. +Kitsch is vicarious experience and faked sensations. +Kitsch changes according to style, but remains always the same. +Kitsch is the epitome of all that is spurious in the life of our times. +Kitsch pretends to demand nothing of its customers except their money -- not even their time”. +With the advent of kitsch came a great need for the distinction between higher and lower artforms. +Inorganic nature has only the language of color. +Thus said, this along with the influence of black and white print perhaps was the cause for the belief that which was black and white was deemed a serious, high art, while that which was colorful was mere rubbish and imitation for the lower classes. +Of course during the early stages of color film and photography, the quality was so poor that it gave a cheap look, whereas black and white film really allowed one to see the light and the shadows in the images. +For the play of light and form was key in demonstrating the true art form. +It is by color alone that a certain stone tells us it is a sapphire or emerald… color, then, is the peculiar characteristic of the lower forms of nature, while drawing becomes the medium of expression, more and more dominant, the higher we rise in the scale of being” +That was what made up the essence of an image, not the artificial, or superficial filling in of form with color. +Color was thought to distract the viewer from the soul of the image. +These beliefs have changed since color technology as tweeked to the point of being almost better than reality. +Still though black and white is seen as something of a more sober tradition. +These non colors allow for the appreciation of color. +When something is black and white, it allows the mind to fill in and imagine for itself the amazing colors that must exist beyond the screen. +It is for this reason that ultimately the use of black and white is seen as more of an intellectual process. +Whether it mean going beyond the mind or simply the purity of non color, the use of black and white has been debated over for the last hundred years. +Now we have entered an era where we are seeing once again more color, but perhaps it is human instinct, to want to surpass and rebel against generations before, so possibly we shall return to a state of non color veneration. +Thus is the ebb and flow of life. +The world is made up of a myriad of colors. color gives distinction to our life, it gives flavor and meaning. +In the Far East, reaching a state of colorless-ness is associated with the highest state of spiritual being, the state of Zen. +What is typical of this sort of ascetism is the art of expressing as much as possible using the minimum as an ideal. +For them, reaching the greatest depths of spirituality demanded expression in its most minimal form. +This reduction of color and expression proved the purity the artist had reached within himself, it was a means of reducing down to the essence of a thing. +In the Elimination of color in the Far East, Izutsu explains though how this ultimate state of minimalism can only be reached through an appreciation and fine knowledge of color. +“This artistic acestism, i.e., the suppression of externals and the reduction of all colors to black and white, manifests its real aesthetic function only against the background of a highly refined sensibility for colors and their subtle hues. +What would our lives be without color? +At the same time in our modern society, color has been seen as an external threat to be purged from the enlightened mind and space. +For black and white can only be seen as distinguishing against a background of color and for this very reason one can assert that both black and white are colors in themselves as non-colors. +It is through the absence of color that one brings to mind the colors that are no longer present. +It is up to the mind to fill in the blank space. +Without color one could not appreciate the purity of the black and white space. +Black and white are the consummation of all colors into one. +“Black is life; it is the infinite possibility of expression and development. Black here is not sheer black. +For in it’s negation of all colors, all colors are positively affirmed” +It is through these means that one finds the essence in a thing. +In Western society, this purging of color began with the rejection of ideals of generations past. +Eliminating color was a way of eliminating the decadence of the 18th century. +Society turned to minimalism as a way of cleansing life, representing modernity. +color became a moral issue, seen as something sensuous and dangerous in its secondary nature to the essence of life and form. +color is seen as corrupting, intoxicating, disorienting and in art, has come to be associated with the vulgar and the kitsch. +“The predominance of color at the expense of drawing is a usurpation of the relative over the absolute, of fleeting appearance over permanent form, of physical impression over the empire of the soul” +color rests on the surface of an object, it is superficial, cosmetic and therefore deceptive since it hides the true nature of that thing. +It is something which speaks to the senses, not the mind, it is external and therefore secondary to life. +It deals with the body, emotions, not the intellect. +It strays from reason in the way which it consumes and manipulates life. +It is a descent in the way it makes one lose consciousness and enter into the physical world of desire, and to desire is to lose control over oneself. +We went from times of celebrating color and decoration to one of minimalism where black and white were placed at the front as representations of modernity and ultimate transcendence. +Thus, began the cult of the black and white. +White is seen as representing spirituality, the heavens, and light, it is all which is modern, it signifies the opposite of the carnal nature of color. +It is the control of nature, and the body and represents the modern man. +“WHITE is the spiritual color of our times, the clearness which directs all out actions. +It is neither grey white, nor vory white, but pure white. +WHITE is the color of modern times, the color which dissipates a whole era; our era is perfection, purity, certitude. +We have superceded both the ‘brown’ of decadence and classiscm and the ‘blue’ of divisionism, the cult of the blue ky, the gods with green beards and the spectrum. +WHITE pure white. +For these reasons black and white have been placed at the top of the hierarchy of colors. +Abolishing color means controlling color. +It keeps an eye on all the objects it frames. +But before that, it keeps an eye on itself, watching its freshly laundered and neatly folded fabric for the stain of color” +On the other hand, we need color in order to distinguish black and white. +Just as those from the Far East, the purity of white implies what has been washed away and thus makes the white glitter even more. +They are linked intrinsically together, one cannot go without the other. +“White is the setting for color. +In a mosque for example, the architectonic effect of its white garment is assisted by a strategic use of color: “All these things are clothed in a majestic coat of whitewash. +The forms stand out clearly; the impeccable construction displays all its boldness. +What is the significance for this preference for black and white when it comes to high art? +At times a high stylobate of delightful ceramic produces a blue vibration.” +The sensuous vibration of the color clarifies the white surface whose limit it marks” +We need this opposition between color and ‘non-color’ to make distinction between the two, otherwise neither would hold such significance. +Reaching Transcendence through the Elimination of color: The Ideal Minimalism of Black and White +White helps to harmonize colors that would otherwise clash, it brings together and unites. +“White expresses a certain incorporeality. +The use of white is therefore decisive for the bodily appearance of a space. +Concrete bodies decrease the space more or less depending on their color value. +Against white, one can actually establish the intensity of clashing colors; white determines the tone in the first place. +and how can the state legislature single out two counties (first Napa, now Sonoma) for this treatment? +are they going to go through the wine-producing counties one by one? +JohnLopresti said... +vive la OIVV OIV_Wine_Labelling_Standard_EN_2006 re at Fredric K's BTYH website there is a review discussing MacRostie pinot noir. +I had thought of the kiltman with respect to a new AVA in Yorkville highlands, thinking the Scot might have interest in playing the bagpipes in the uplands. +Then, at Steve's site there is an interesting discussion of his current ongoing efforts with blends from Carneros and Sonoma Coast. +There are 13 AVAs in Sonoma County. +It's easy to get lost in nomenclatures, when one is striving for new concepts. +In a way, all this tries to approach terroir from a slight distance; plus the historical distinctions between the two premium distinctive varietal regions, Napa county and Sonoma county. +Winkler heat summation datapoints also clarified several decades ago some of the plant physiologic underpinnings of why Napa county and Sonoma county were the natural leaders in premium winegrape production. +The problem, of course, is that by placing the words "Sonoma County" on a bottle of wine that is made with grapes grown in "Russian River Valley", "Dry Creek Valley", "Sonoma Valley" or any other AVA in Sonoma +There are many reasons why the new labeling requirement makes sense from all these perspectives. +JohnLopresti said... +sorry, I keep forgetting the Fermentation site's html protocol; here is the OIVV label guideline link again: +El Jefe said... +OK, so here's the real requirement: "Any wine labeled with an American Viticultural Area established yada yada, that is located entirely within yada yada, shall bear the designation "Sonoma County" on the label in a type size not smaller than two millimeters on containers of more than 187 milliliters or smaller than one millimeter on containers of 187 milliliters or less. +If I recall correctly, this is almost exactly the same as the requirement for the government warning type size. +So the answer seems pretty clear to me: just add "Sonoma County" to the government warning. +Johnonwine said... +They [Honore Comfort and the Sonoma County Vintners] point to the prestige that the "Napa Valley" designation carries. +But this prestige has nothing to due with the law that demands "Napa Valley", in addition to simply "Rutherford", be placed on these wines. +It has to do entirely with the promotional effort that has gone into making "Napa Valley" a place associated with great wines. +Such an association will not be made with "Sonoma County" wines...ever. +Tom, I would suggest that all Napa wineries, good and bad, benefit from having Napa Valley on the label; it is indeed a great example of marketing - what you describe as promotional effort. +County, consumers learn absolutely nothing about the wine in the bottle. +Sonoma County, with roughly half of the wineries of Napa County, wins roughly twice as many gold medals in national and international wine competitions. +That, the fact that their wines cost less on average, and the wineries are friendlier, less snooty is a compelling story to get out to the public. +Heck, if folks knew all that, maybe folks would be seeking out bottles with "Sonoma County" on the label. +You suggest that this is a bad law, that Sonoma County will never be associated with high quality wine in the way Napa County is. +I disagree, but I am eternally hopeful, optimistic that the Sonoma County Vintners will inject a little passion and not more of the same old staid and boring in their marketing communications. +There no evidence that grapes grown in "Sonoma County" have any single distinguishing feature derived from the fact that they were grown inside the borders of Sonoma County. Assemblywoman Evans concludes, "By improving consumer education on each bottle, conjunctive labeling will unleash the full potential of our delicious wines to represent Sonoma around the world. +I have confidence they will change, retool, improve, live up to their responsibilities. +I worked selling and marketing Sonoma County wines, I won awards for my marketing efforts. +The story is simple. +People are receptive to it. +Selling the magic of Sonoma County wines is easy. +That's my take anyway, I don't aim to be contrarian, but I don't mind being the sole supporter of the law - as a Sonoma County born and bred wine guy. +She's correct. +Beginning in 2014, "Sonoma County" will receive a tremendous boost in recognition due to the conjunctive labeling law that forces vintners to add more wording to their labels—whether they think the words "Sonoma County" help or hurt their marketing efforts. +Frankly, if I was making high end wine from the "Sonoma Valley", "Sonoma Mountain" or "Sonoma Coast" AVAs that depended in part on the quality recognition that comes wtih these AVAs, I'd be pissed that I'm forced now to put a place-name on my label that told my buyers nothing of real value about the wine behind my label and, in some cases, demonstrably lowered its perceived quality. +Honore Comfort, Executive Director of the Sonoma County Vintners Association and an outstanding representative for Sonoma County wines noted this: ". +"This moment ...marks the beginning of a stronger Sonoma County brand for generations to come." +Proponents of the new Sonoma County Conjunctive labeling law like to point to a similar law that demands "Napa Valley" be placed on all wines that are made from grapes grown in that appellation, rather than simply using a sub appellation. +They point to the prestige that the "Napa Valley" designation carries. +But this prestige has nothing to due with the law that demands "Napa Valley", in addition to simply "Rutherford", be placed on these wines. +It has to do entirely with the promotional effort that has gone into making "Napa Valley" a place associated with great wines. +The vintners in Sonoma County simply can't make a case for "Sonoma County" having any meaning or for a region as vast as "Sonoma County" delivering any degree of quality to the grapes. +Pushed as an effort to promote "Sonoma County" wines and a consumer education effort, the new law instead forces vintners to needlessly sully their package and undermines their own marketing efforts. +Why is it important for someone making "Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir" or "Sonoma Valley Zinfandel" to help promote "Sonoma County", a designation that has no ability to define the quality or character of the wines in my Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir or my Sonoma Valley Zinfandel? +This is an example of a County usurping the private label real estate, and it's very valuable real estate, for the sake of promoting something that is of little use to private commercial interests. +Ask yourself...If putting the words "Sonoma County" on one's wines was such a great thing, why don't more vintners who make "Dry Creek Valley", "Russian River Valley", "Alexander Valley" or "Sonoma Valley" wines already put these words on their label? +They legally could...if they wanted to. +The new Sonoma County conjunctive labeling law is the equivalent of the State of California and the County of Sonoma claiming imminent domain over the labels of hundreds of vintners. +Eminent Domain Used To Usurp Wine Label Real Estate +Nick Perdiew said... +You found a way to tie this in nicely. +This is a case of over-reaching government regulation, costing business unnecessarily and burdening them with more regulations. +It's just unnecessary. +It also is a 'social promotion' in the sense that great Sonoma wines that now are forced to use "Sonoma County" will be giving some of their credibility to their lesser neighbors. +Shades of wealth redistribution as well. +Ew, ew, ew. +James McCann said... +How many hundreds or thousands of labels will have to be re-submitted to the TTB between now and 2014? +John Kelly said... +I'd be pissed that I'm forced now to put a place-name on my label that told my buyers nothing of real value about the wine behind my label and, in some cases, demonstrably lowered its perceived quality. +Exactly, Tom. +And I am really pissed. +And so is every other producer I have discussed this issue with. +I still don't know whose interests are being served by this useless piece of crap legislation. +Yet, the law does nothing to educate consumers. +I completely agree with you when you state: "Such an association will not be made with 'Sonoma County' wines...ever." +Duh. +I've got real skin in this game. +We are going to have to totally redesign our front label to make room for "Sonoma County" - and so far every mock-up is cluttered and decreases the impact of our brand. +Our best option looks like we will go to "North Coast" or "California" for our front label appellation, and discuss the grape source, vineyard name and meaningful AVA on the back label. +Passed unanimously out of the California Assembly and Senate, AB 1798 now awaits the Governor's signature, which it will surely obtain. +Fermentation: The Daily Wine Blog +Who is going to compensate me for this? +I estimate the value to be in six figures, and we are a small winery. +For a larger winery with a better-established brand the value is much higher. +Eminent domain is exactly right - this is nothing less than governmental "taking. +The legislators who backed this should be ashamed. +Hardy Wallace said... +Thanks Tom-- This law is such BS. +JohnLopresti said... +I support the new labeling requirement. +Sonoma county always was the sheep ranch joke in the era of Napa's well-deserved, early, global fame. +Together we have led the world into modern viticulture, with the help of UC Davis, and in some pretty good company from other regions. +I suppose the new law is all Sacramento hype. +But I think it will improve northcoast revenue and dignity. +According to Noreen Evans, an Assembly sponsor of the bill, this new conjunctive labeling law "requires that any wine labeled with an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located entirely within Sonoma County - – like Russian River Valley or Dry Creek Valley - must also include the word "Sonoma County" on the label, starting in 2014. +Now after several decades in Sonoma county I have learned to appreciate its uniqueness, for its viticulture and other industries. +The town of Sonoma is on a typical route people follow driving from Solano County to Sonoma County. +The ambience in the town Sonoma is only an enclave; it is rightfully proud of its heritage as a village, and for its viticultural traditions. +But Sonoma county encompasses much more territory, and other AVAs within the county are starkly different from the characteristics of Sonoma valley and the town of Sonoma. +Vive la nouveau Sonoma County. +Nick Perdiew said in to JohnLopresti... +John, Good of you to comment and good to have dissent. +What do you make of the fact that vintners *already* are free to put Sonoma County on any label they want? +I admit, I don't see the reasoning of your argument here. +The issue of the costs to vintners is non-trivial too as you can see above. +Bill Cadman said... +Tom-- I wonder what the response would be in Napa and Sonoma if the vintners in Fresno convinced the state government to require "California" be put on all labels of wine made within California? +JohnLopresti said... +These past few years, 'eminent domain' has become a libertarian property rights flashpoint, since the Kelo v New London, CT, case concerning urban renewal polemics. +I can see Tom W's concerns, too. +There was a counterpoint in the label world after some court cases resulted in a company's revising its grape sourcing to comply with tightened requirements for 75% in-county fruit in order to remain legal in designating the wine as from "Napa". +One rambling article's author counted 16 occurrences of the word Napa on the newly designed label of a famous budget wine producer's 2005 Napa cabernet sauvignon. +JohnLopresti said... +The links for @2:04: +I was disappointed, though not surprised, to see that today a conjunctive labeling law dictating that "Sonoma County" be placed on every label on wines produced from grapes grown in Sonoma County was unanimously passed by the California Legislature . +fredric koeppel said... +what business is it of State government what terminology goes on wine labels?

Checks to be made at the point of delivery of the wine. +"Unelected judges should not set alcohol policy; this responsibility rightly rests with individual state legislatures, as guaranteed under the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution." +Judges never have set policy. +State legislatures always have. +This is the big lie the wholesalers tell. +Judges merely tell the state when they have reached beyond what the 21st Amendment allows. +After that, the state legislatures, in every state where litigation has affected badly crafted laws, went about legislating a fix. +Surely the wholesalers don't mean to say that state alcohol laws should in no way be required to abide by the principles in the u.S. +Constitution. +What next, will the wholesalers argue the 21st amendment give the states the right to prohibit women from buying alcohol? +Will they argue that state laws banning African-Americans from being distributors is legal under the 21st Amendment? +But what is truly remarkable (and likely a result of the wholesalers' hubris stemming from 75 years of being granted government welfare) is their willingness to misrepresent facts, ignore the truth, and mislead in their defense of H.R. 5034. +"State laws that raise concerns can and should be addressed in the state legislature." +The wholesalers would have argued that the racist "separate but equal" philosophy had no business being litigated and that we should wait for the legislatures that enacted the racist laws to overturn them with new laws. +We have courts precisely to adjudicate concerns with the fairness and constitutionality of state laws. +The hypocrisy, misleading notions and disinformation being featured at the wholesalers website supporting H.R. 5034 is staggering. +Thus originated Las Vegas’s reputation as an adult theme park. +The areas surrounding the springs were desert oases: sprawling collections of grasses, trees, and wildlife. +Additional catalysts for the valley’s growth came from World War II. +By 1945, the population had grown to almost 20,000, with workers and airmen moving in at a rapid pace. +But this was not yet the Las Vegas of folklore. +The El Rancho Vegas (1941) was the first, followed by the Last Frontier (1943). +During this period, East Coast Syndicate member Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel earned a foothold as a local casino operator. +When the Flamingo opened in December 1946, it did so with Hollywood flair and the new Vegas flash. +But the Mafia bosses who financed the operation were displeased with its performance; Siegel was murdered in the summer of 1947. +Many springs lay in areas that would eventually become the center of the modern Las Vegas metropolis. +Despite its initial failings, Siegel’s Flamingo survived him, as did mob infiltration of casinos. +Freely flowing “comps” (complimentary food, drink, and entertainment) were the order of the day, with mob bosses content to provide an environment of pleasurable excess as long as the cash kept rolling in. +While the mob was running the casinos, promoters were busily selling Las Vegas as a glamorous Hollywood in the desert. +From the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s, Las Vegas nurtured a growing sense that it was the “Entertainment Capital of the World. ” +Emerging stars, no longer content with playing small nightclubs, came to Las Vegas with dreams of making it big. +Many of them did. +For about 4000 years, the Archaics thrived in a culture that included many signs of early civilization. +The Rat Pack — originally Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. , Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop, all in town to film Ocean’s 11 — landed at the Sands in January 1960 for a legendary stay. +As a result, more casinos emerged along the Strip. +The Thunderbird, Desert Inn, Sahara, Sands, and Riviera hotels were erected during this period, luring a curious clientele drawn by tales of all-night partying, exclusive entertainment, and cheap accommodations. +There was no longer any question: when you wanted some unbridled adult fun, Las Vegas was the place to be. +New Legitimacy +Organized crime was soon to have a formidable adversary in its bid to control Las Vegas — corporate cash. +Though Las Vegas had developed a powerful local economy, few major outside investments were made in the city, due primarily to mob infiltration and its inherent ties to illegal activities. +That would change dramatically with the 1966 arrival of billionaire Howard Hughes. +Signs of even more advancement appeared halfway through the first millennium a.d. , when the Anasazi Indians inhabited the valley. +A legitimate businessman, Hughes was nonetheless eccentric and dramatic, a style suited to the Las Vegas ethos. +True to the myth, the reclusive Hughes immediately cloistered himself in the Desert Inn’s penthouse. +Several weeks later he was asked — then ordered — to vacate the room to make room for high rollers, whereupon he promptly bought the property and fired the management. +Thus began Hughes’ legendary three-year, $300-million Las Vegas buying spree. +When it was over, Hughes owned six casinos, an airport, and an airline, along with numerous plots of land stretching from the Strip to the mountains. +Hughes’ actions would have beneficial repercussions, both immediate and lasting. +Because of the new legitimacy Las Vegas acquired from Hughes’ investments, established companies such as Hilton Hotels bought into the gaming business, and their influence helped draw a line in the desert sand between legitimate operations and mob casinos, where illegal skimming of profits was rampant. +That, combined with the formation of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, would signal the beginning of the end for heavy mob influence in the city. +Far more progressive than the Archaics, the Anasazi utilized such formal agricultural techniques as irrigation to assist their harvest. +The legitimization of gambling led to its increased legalization across the US. +What was once a sure thing became much more competitive. +Casino operators had to reassess the nature of their business. +The first to really do so was Steve Wynn, a Las Vegas resident and owner of the Golden Nugget. +In the mid-1980s, Wynn began plans to reinvigorate Las Vegas with a new resort. +He bought several Strip properties — the Silver Slipper and Castaways among them — and demolished them to make way for a new kind of resort — Mirage —  which became an instant success. +Wynn’s demolition of the existing properties started a trend that, more than any other, describes Las Vegas at the end of the 20th century: removal of old properties in exchange for the potential of new ones. +This trend has led to many more demolitions, including the Dunes (replaced by Bellagio), Aladdin (the new Aladdin) and Sands (Venetian) hotels. +Wynn’s casinos have also set new standards. +They can no longer be just a box filled with gaming tables, restaurants, and a showroom. +Excalibur, the MGM Grand, the Luxor, and New York-New York all followed Mirage’s lead during the 1990s, offering themed environments and attractions for families. +As evidence of the “ever-faster” nature of the city, by the middle of the 1990s the new approach showed signs of backlash, with many visitors criticizing the mediocrity of the Las Vegas experience. +This permitted the Anasazi to achieve a benchmark of advanced society — the ability to live in permanent shelters year-round without need to follow wildlife. +The latest approach is perhaps the best of the post-mob era: the comprehensive resort. +New resorts offer attractions and amenities modeled after those available in top resort cities worldwide, including luxurious spas, signature restaurants, and exclusive boutiques. +Additionally, a handful of resorts — such as the South-Seas themed Mandalay Bay, the Mirage, and the new Four Seasons — are now catering exclusively to the luxury travel market. +The crème de la crème of Las Vegas deluxe is Steve Wynn’s Bellagio. +Perhaps more important, such high-end accommodations raise the standards of expectations back to the mythology of the Rat Pack era. +As it changed from mob gam bling town to corporate gaming venue, the population of Las Vegas skyrocketed. +Over 20,000 additional hotel rooms have been added in a few short years, including resorts in Summerlin and Lake Las Vegas. +Still, the future of Las Vegas is sure to be determined as much by the pioneering spirit that built the city as by anything else. +With its new look and new aim, the prospects are good despite the warnings. +Inevitably, some people will get burned in the process, but others will rise triumphantly from the fray to even greater successes. +And that, more than anything, is the one constant that characterizes the past, present, and future of Las Vegas. +Unable to replicate the agricultural techniques of the Anasazi, the Paiutes were destined to a semi-nomadic lifestyle until European settlers arrived, changing the nature of existence in the valley forever. +During this period, the indigenous people lived in caves, hunting the mammals that gathered at the shoreline. +In the early nineteenth century, America’s western territories were still largely unexplored. +It was not until 1829 that Rafael Rivera, a Mexican scout, found a spring-fed valley and dubbed it Las Vegas — a Spanish name that leaves many modern visitors wondering exactly where “the meadows” really lay. +For fifteen years, Las Vegas was used as a Spanish Trail way-station. +A Brief History +This put Las Vegas on the map and was one of the crucial turning points of its history. +In 1855, Mormon leader Brigham Young responded to promising reports of Las Vegas by sending 30 missionary settlers to the valley; they eventually built a fort not far from today’s Downtown. +Surrounded by acres of farmland hewn from the hard desert, the adobe fort became a focal point for the development of Las Vegas for the next fifty years. +The landscape of the valley changed dramatically over the next 200 centuries. +Additional pressures from arriving miners pushed the missionaries’ plight beyond recovery. +Their supplies scarce, their harvest meager, and their spirit broken, they abandoned the fort in 1858. +Despite the fact that the local land was rich in silver, by 1865 most of the mining traffic through Las Vegas was of prospectors headed to California or Northern Nevada in search of gold. +One opportunist who stayed was Octavius Decatur Gass. +The glaciers feeding the lake melted away and the lake evaporated. +Gass took over the abandoned Mormon fort and 640 acres (260 hectares) surrounding it, dubbing it the Las Vegas Ranch. +He expanded the ranch and irrigated the land so that it would support crops and cattle. +His determination had other results as well: Gass was named a justice of the peace and a territorial legislator. +Despite his ambition, Gass’ success was short-lived. +In the late 1870s, he defaulted on a loan from rancher Archibald Stewart, so Stewart took the Las Vegas Ranch for his own. +True to wild-West stereotypes, Stewart was slain by a neighboring farmer, leaving his strong-willed wife, Helen, to assume the duties of the ranch. +Fossils tell an obscure story of man’s slow and sporadic development. +What happened next would mark the end of the successful Las Vegas Ranch and the beginning of the era of the subdivision seen across almost all of Western America to this day. +Early Habitation +Of Tracks and Tracts +At the turn of the 19th century Los Angeles and Salt Lake City were among the burgeoning metropolises of the new American West. +Though the two cities remained unlinked by rail, this was about to change quickly. +When it did, the Las Vegas Valley (which at the time had a non-native population of less than 30) would change as well. +Around 3000 b.c. , native Archaic Indians began to develop a lasting hunting and gathering culture. +In 1903, officials of the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad arrived in Las Vegas, eager to secure a right-of-way for their Los Angeles–Salt Lake connection. +Las Vegas would serve as a major stopover for crew rest and train repair. +For all this, the railroad needed land. +As mapped, the track traveled directly through Helen Stewart’s Las Vegas Ranch. +Stewart sold 99.5 percent of her ranch to the railroad. +The remainder she returned to the native Paiutes. +In early 1905, the route between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City was completed, and train tracks bore right down the center of the Las Vegas Valley. +On 15 May 1905, the railroad held a land sale — a momentous step in Las Vegas history. +Standing at the depot at Main and Fremont streets, railroad officials auctioned 1200 lots they had subdivided from forty square blocks of desert scrub. +Las Vegas was no longer a small pioneer settlement. +With rail service in place and forty blocks of private property, it was ready to become a real town. +Businesses sprang up overnight, and wooden houses were erected to replace the tent city in which many of the early settlers had lived. +One year after the auction, the population of Las Vegas had ballooned to 1500 residents, a portent of things to come for the next ninety years. +From the beginning, Las Vegas was built to serve travelers. +The railroad needed a way station, and Las Vegas was the place. +Growth continued for ten years, and by 1915 the town had telephones, round-the-clock electricity, and a growing population — many of whom worked in the railroad repair shop. +The inhabited history of the Las Vegas Valley stretches to 23,000 b.c. , when much of the area was covered by a prehistoric lake. +But such heady progress would soon come to a halt. +Union Pacific then consolidated its operations, eliminating the Las Vegas repair facility. +Additionally, Las Vegas had been made a part of Nevada’s new Clark County in 1909, a year when the legislature also outlawed gambling. +These unfortunate circumstances threatened to relegate Las Vegas to the status of a small desert community that could no longer support its 3000 residents. +But the southwest’s growing need for water, combined with Las Vegas’s fortuitous proximity to the Colorado River, would give Las Vegas a second chance to achieve prosperity. +Construction on Hoover Dam (originally Boulder Dam, subsequently renamed for the president who authorized the project) began in 1931 in a canyon 45 miles (72 km) southeast of Las Vegas. +Providing an influx of $165 million to the southwestern economy, Hoover Dam played a major role in preventing Las Vegas from drying up, both financially and literally. +These springs fed a network of streams draining through the Las Vegas Wash to the Colorado River. +Not only did it create jobs, but it also created Lake Mead, the massive reservoir that today provides water to all of southern

ever attempted. +Strangely enough, the study also included pairs of biological brothers that were not twins, and out of the 142 homosexual males studied, only 14, or about 9 %, had homosexual brothers, which is approximately the normal statistical incidence of homosexuality in the general population (Bailey & Pillard). +More and more people are beginning to believe that homosexuality is not a “choice,” but rather a feeling that one is born with. +“choice,” +As one grows older, they become aware of sexual feelings towards other persons. +The only difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals is that while heterosexuals are attracted to members of the opposite sex, homosexuals are attracted to those of the same sex. +Therefore, neither homosexuals nor heterosexuals really have a “choice” in the matter, and asking a homosexual “Why are you attracted to other members of your sex” is likened to asking a heterosexual “Why are you attracted to members of the opposite sex?” +“Why are you attracted to members of the opposite sex?” +After all, why would anyone choose such a difficult lifestyle? +As a homosexual, one risks horrifying their parents, other family members, and friends to the point of losing all contact with them, ruining their career, being condemned by their religion, being beat up for publicly displaying their sexuality, and much much more. +This shows that not only did Plato consider it normal for a male to be attracted to another male, he also believed that it began at a very young age, as the word “boyhood” signifies. +To supplement my findings from research, I have conducted personal interviews with two adolescent homosexual males, James Dobbens and Daniel Woods. +Both were asked how what they thought determined homosexuality (nature vs. nurture) and why, when they realized they were homosexual and how they knew, and similar questions. +Both believed that homosexual was a result of nature, rather than nurture (Dobbens & Woods). +Dobbens reasoned that most parents would not raise their children to be homosexual; “They’re not like ‘My child’s going to be gay!”’ +“They’re not like ‘My child’s going to be gay!”’ +‘My child’s going to be gay!”’ +(Dobbens). +Dobbens believes that he was born homosexual. +When why he was a homosexual, he explained “It’s just the way you are, you can’t explain it, I was just born that way, it’s like asking how the world was made – no one really knows” (Dobbens). +“It’s just the way you are, you can’t explain it, I was just born that way, it’s like asking how the world was made – no one really knows” +He went on to explain that while his nurture did not impact his sexual orientation, it did affect his view of it. +When discussing the role of parents and upbringing in a child’s sexuality, he commented “They can bring you up [to be] open minded to [homosexuality], but they don’t bring you up [to be a homosexual]… I grew up in a place where [homosexuality is accepted], so that’s why I’m so open about being gay; I accept myself… [Whether or not you accept homosexuality and can be honest with yourself if you are homosexual] depends on how you’re brought up” (Dobbens). +“They can bring you up [to be] open minded to [homosexuality], but they don’t bring you up [to be a homosexual]… I grew up in a place where [homosexuality is accepted], so that’s why I’m so open about being gay; I accept myself… [Whether or not you accept homosexuality and can be honest with yourself if you are homosexual] depends on how you’re brought up” +Woods generally agreed with Dobbens, and justified his belief that homosexuality was caused by one’s nature, rather than nurture, when he commented that “there’s nothing in my upbringing that exposed me to anything like [homosexuality]” (Woods). +In fact, Plato even considered love between two members of the same sex to be the only “real and lasting love” and necessary for democracy. +When asked why he was gay, he explained that it is simply “something that I can’t help… embedded in my head; nothing made me do it” (Woods). +He went on to explain that it the same thing as the primitive attraction between males and females, only it was between males and other males. +He added that “nothing happened [to make me homosexual]; it’s always been there. +“nothing happened [to make me homosexual]; it’s always been there. I’ve always been attracted to guys” +I’ve always been attracted to guys” (Woods). +What I find to be extraordinary about Woods’ case is that he remarked how while he has always been sexually attracted go guys, he is romantically attracted to women in the sense that he has always wanted a girlfriend and to be close with other females, etc… but never in a sexual sense. +“always kind of fantasized about getting married [to a female],” +What, exactly, causes homosexuality? +He says that if he married a female with which he shared a strong trust, maybe he could work it out. +“real and lasting love” +“It’s like race. It’s all something you can’t help; it all comes to you… It’s internal, you can’t help it” +It’s all something you can’t help; it all comes to you… It’s internal, you can’t help it” (Woods). +When asked if he thought homosexuality was caused by a gene, he commented that he thought that it was more of an instinct. +He gave the example of birds, which are born with instincts such as knowing how to build a next, or catch their prey. +Woods also thought that maybe it was caused by something in the development of the embryo. +All in all, Woods views homosexuality as “fascinating.” +“fascinating.” +His final thought: “I also believe everyone has at least one homosexual attraction. +“I also believe everyone has at least one homosexual attraction. It’s not black and white [homosexual vs. heterosexual]; it’s a spectrum” +It’s not black and white [homosexual vs. heterosexual]; it’s a spectrum” (Woods). +Yet there are arguments against homosexuality as caused by genetics. +For instance, heterosexual males have an average of five times as many children as homosexual ones, as a female is required to reproduce children, yet homosexuals are, by definition, not sexually attracted to females. +Therefore, from the evolutionary standpoint, homosexuality becomes one of the disadvantageous traits. +Because consequently heterosexual men contribute five times as much genetic information to the next the gene pool, if homosexuality was indeed caused by a gene, it would have died out entirely by now, or at least been reduced immensely in the number of occurrences. +Since neither of these events have yet taken place, it can be concluded that homosexuality is not caused by a gene (Fulkerson). +My findings throughout my research have led me to conclude that there is no definitive answer on what causes homosexuality. +No one knows for sure now (although many think they do), and perhaps no one ever will know the whole truth. +Nonetheless, I am apt to believe that homosexuality is the product of some kind of combination of genetic and environmental causes. +Perhaps one may have a genetic predisposition towards homosexuality that has been passed on from previous generations. +However this does not necessarily determine a homosexual; rather this predisposition must be triggered by environmental factors. +Even Homer wrote about Achilles and Patroclus, who have been considered to be the perfect model of true love (Emond). +This is why Bailey and Pillard found in their study that while they was a greatly elevated chance that two males sharing the same genetic makeup would also share the same sexuality, this was not the case 100 % of the time. +This seems to be the most likely explanation as of now, but even as I write this, new studies are being done. +Perhaps the truth is right around the corner. +Works Cited +APA Online. 2003.

They also do not belong in a court of law!” +They also do not belong in a court of law!” +In 1935, he furthered his claims when he wrote a now famous “Letter to an American Mother” of a homosexual, which stated that “Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness… Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals” (qtd. in Isay 3). +“Letter to an American Mother” +“Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness… Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals” +However, the general public of the 1800s and early 1900s, including the medical professionals, regarded homosexuality as a curable mental illness. +Treatments such as castration, hysterectomy, lobotomy, and electroshock therapy were used as attempted cures. +By the mid 1900s, psychotherapy became the most common “cure,” and many homosexuals spent countless hours being analyzed in hopes of changing their sexual preference (Dudley 125). +Dr. Evelyn Hooker, a heterosexual psychologist, conducted a ground-breaking study in the mid 1950s that went along similar reasoning as Freud. +She disagreed with the popular belief at the time that homosexuality was a mental illness, and concluded that there was no significant psychological difference between homosexual and heterosexual men; “gay” men were no more insane than their “straight” counterparts (Marcus 183). +“gay” +Documented homosexuality dates as far back as ancient Greece and other cultures of the time, where it was considered to be a very normal and natural occurrence (Emond). +Fortunately, many prominent psychiatrists also believed that homosexuality was not an illness, and their lobbying, along with the innovative study performed by Hooker, who has been referred to as “the Rosa Parks of the gay movement” convinced the American Psychiatric Association Board of Trustees to vote to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as a mental illness in December of 1973. +Just over a year later, the American Psychological Association also removed homosexuality from their list of mental illnesses (Marcus 11). +The American Psychological Association further reiterated this belief when an overwhelming majority of the Council of Representatives adopted the Resolution on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation in 1997, which publicly chastised those who attempted to “cure” homosexuality by means of various forms of treatment. +“cure” +It stated, rather that homosexuality was merely a difference in the opinion and values of the common person, but must still be respected as an individual orientation, and thus treated as one (Resolution on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation). +Perhaps one of the most famous studies on this topic was concluded in 1991 by Michael Bailey, an assistant professor of psychology at Northwestern University, and Richard Pillard, an associate professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine, and found that sexual orientation in males is largely due to genetics. +For two years, these men studied the number of occurrences of homosexuality in both monozygotic, or identical twins (a set of twins coming from the same fertilized egg and thus having identical DNA), and dizygotic, or fraternal twins (a set of twins from too separate zygotes, causing them to have similar DNA, but not any more so than that of two ordinary siblings), in addition to adoptive brothers of gay males (meaning that all of these males would have been raised in the same environment). +In his book The Symposium, Plato wrote “Those who are halves of a man whole pursue males, and being slices, so to speak, of the male, love men throughout their boyhood, and take pleasure in physical contact with men” (qtd. in Isay 11). +In total, 110 pairs of twins (identical and fraternal) and 142 sets of male and their adopted brothers were studied, where at least one of the two had been classified as homosexual, either by self-identification or other means. +“Those who are halves of a man whole pursue males, and being slices, so to speak, of the male, love men throughout their boyhood, and take pleasure in physical contact with men” +Out of the 56 homosexual males who had identical twins, 29, or approximately 52 % of their identical twin brothers were also found to be homosexual, as compared to only 12, or approximately 22 % of the 54 non-identical twins of homosexual males, and 6, or approximately 11 % of the 57 adopted brothers of homosexual males who were unrelated in terms of genetics. +Pretty cool, right? +Google TGI Friday's Fan Woody and it looks pretty good. +But then something not so awesome happened. +All those fans wanted their free burgers and they wanted them now! +TGI Friday's completely lost control of the page and eventually doled out a lot of free burgers. +Now from a short term perspective I'm sure they did ok on the deal. +People came in and ate their food. +But they could have accomplished that with coupons in the mail, the newspaper or by an email list. +But they decided to go the Social Media route. +Now, let's take a look at what the Friday's FanWoody Facebook page looks like today: Whoops! +Oh, the numbers look good, but when you dig a little deeper a different picture emerges. +Apparently Woody and his 900,000+ fans went poof . +How come? +I'm guessing it had something to do with the venom and general anarchy the page had created by buying fans rather than growing them. +A TGI Friday's Facebook page does exist, with roughly a third of the fans they used to have. +TGI Friday's pretty much had to spray Agent Orange on their relationship with 600,000 people. +I think plenty of brands have heard the siren call of Facebook ads. +The ability to target your demo is really terrific, but you're in danger of creating a relationship with fans that ultimately is built on a "what have you done for me lately" foundation. +First, you essentially bought these fans. +You paid Facebook for the right to target them. +Walls filled with off topic conversations at best, vile language and real antipathy for the brand at worst. +Then in the case of TGI Friday's or other brands that offer free product or discount coupons, you are essentially buying them again. +This sets up a pattern where the consumer now expects to be rewarded for being your fan with a tangible item, that is, free stuff. +That's not a bonus item, it's now a standard part of the agreement. +Want me as a fan? +Give me free stuff. +The point of Social Media isn't to distribute coupons and a real fan wants to engage with a brand for a whole host of reasons, often free / discounted product is the least of these reasons. +I'm not saying that special bonuses, or 'surprise and delight' offers aren't ever a good thing. +I think when used properly they can be terrific. +What do I mean by used properly? +As a reward for people who have engaged with the brand in a meaningful way. +Send us a picture of you wearing a brand t-shirt and sure, you've earned a free sandwich. +Recruit some friends and I'm happy to give you all some coupons. +But when fans enter the relationship feeling they are entitled to free samples and you're in trouble. +What happened?

historic preservation. +Dublin excels in packaging its past for the visitor. +You can view artifacts from the Bronze Age, trace the history of the Easter Rising, or revisit Leopold Bloom’s odyssey in Ulysses. +Old buildings are being recycled; for example, the 17th-century Royal Hospital now holds the Museum of Modern Art. +And Dublin, a city large in expectations, is still small enough for the visitor to see most of its sights on foot. +City on the Liffey +The River Liffey flows from west to east through the center of the city to Dublin Bay. +Historically and culturally this north-south distinction has always been significant, and it still is today, with a dose of good-humored rivalry between the two areas. +“ I never go north of the Liffey,” +“ I never go north of the Liffey,” one man remarked. +Farther out, both north and south, are the sweeping curves of the Royal and Grand Canals. +The occasional cry of gulls and unexpected distant vistas will remind you that Dublin is by the sea, and the Wicklow mountains, which hold Dublin closely to the coast, are visible from everywhere. +Dublin is an intimate city, physically small but tightly packed, a perfect place for walking. +College Green, the home of Trinity College, provides a natural focus just south of the O’Connell Street bridge. +Dublin and the Dubliners +To the south and east is St. Stephen’s Green and Georgian Dublin where the national museums are located. +Along the Liffey to the west is Temple Bar, center of nightlife and home to many of Dublin’s cutting-edge artists and artistic endeavors. +Up the hill from Temple Bar are Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral. +It won’t rain on you in Dublin all the time. +The climate here can best be described as “changeable” and yet the sudden shifts from light to dark, sunshine to shower, are part of the city’s magic. +Buildings seem to transform themselves depending on the light; Dublin under a lowering sky is a different place from Dublin in sunshine. +Enjoying Dublin +Joyce, the high priest of literary Modernism, imagined and interpreted Dublin for the world in Ulysses (you’ll see references to it all over). +Beckett and Joyce, among others, had to leave their homeland to understand it —  and to be understood. +The city’s impact on the rock and pop music scene with the likes of U2 and Bob Geldof is well known — there’s even a self-guided tour of their haunts. +Traditional Irish music is also alive and well, especially in the pubs, and there has been a revival of storytelling, poetry reading, and traditional dancing. +And in this city, where literature and theater have historically dominated the scene, visual arts are finally coming into their own with the new Museum of Modern Art and the many galleries that display the work of modern Irish artists. +Prosperity is in the air; the roar of the “Celtic Tiger” can clearly be heard. +And while multinational chains have made inroads, they seem less blatant here than elsewhere. +Many shops, and also hotels and guest houses, have been owned and managed by the same families for years, and theirs is the welcome of traditional Dublin hospitality. +Dublin’s food has undergone a metamorphosis. +There was a time when you might have apologized for it, but no longer. +But this is not the whole picture. +Coffee has replaced the ubiquitous tea — Dublin is now almost as much a coffee city as Vienna or Seattle. +City and Countryside +In a city of such human proportions it is not surprising that parks and gardens abound for recreation and relaxation. +The proverbial hospitality and warm welcome are still here. +Phoenix Park in the northwest is the largest open space, but squares like St. Stephen’s Green are the garden oases of the city. +As capital of Europe’s most explosive economy, Dublin seems to be changing before your very eyes. +On the coast, Sandymount, Dollymount, and Killiney strands are the places to go. +The beautiful Wicklow Mountains, and the Wicklow Mountains National Park provide a more rugged countryside, and the area has breathtaking houses and gardens such as Castletown, Mount Usher, and Powerscourt. +To the north and west are the ancient sites of Ireland: Malahide Castle, the evocative hill of Tara, and the long barrows of Knowth and Newgrange. +This busy, modern European city sits on a thousand years of history — history is present everywhere, from elegant Merrion Square to the bullet holes on the General Post Office. +The DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) runs north and south along the coast. +There are many guided bus tours to sights outside the city, and some are accessible by city bus. +Young at Heart? +Dublin is a young city. +Almost half of Ireland’s population is under twenty-five, and with its universities and professional schools, Dublin also has a large student population. +The universities attract students from all over the world, and this influx helps to make Dublin a busy, buzzing international city. +Religion and respect for parents has not yet gone out of fashion. +And young graduates are not leaving now — multinational corporations and European Union investment mean there are plenty of opportunities for them at home. +Unemployment is at an all-time low. +The Irish are actually beginning to come home. +It’s also a city of the imagination, reinvented and reappraised in the literature of its exiles. +And the old Dublin is with us, too — the irreverent city of wit and charm and that peculiar magic possessed by Ireland and the Irish. +Beijing’s announced policy of maintaining Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability makes sense. +Around the time of the transition there was much speculation about how things would change. +With its vibrant atmosphere and night-and-day activity it is an intoxicating place. +The impression of the visitor today will be that very little has changed. +Establishments are no longer called “Royal,” Queen Elizabeth has vanished from the coinage, and the Union Jack has been replaced by the flag of China and the new Hong Kong flag with its bauhinia flower. +Others are more subtle. +British social customs are still evident in the kind of polite service you get in hotels and in the long lines of people waiting for buses at rush hour. +The British population has decreased; today there are as many American and Australian ex-pats as there are British. +With a population of nearly eight million and a total area of just over 1,095 square km (423 square miles), housing is one of Hong Kong’s perennial nightmares. +Hong Kong is crowded — it has one of the world’s greatest population densities. +To alleviate the problem, the government has become the city’s major landlord with the construction of massive apartment blocks that, though they have every modern facility, average only 9 square m (100 square ft) in size. +Hong Kong and Its People +Whole cities have been created in the New Territories, although the unimaginative architecture of these towns has been criticized. +Of Hong Kong’s population, 98 percent are Chinese. +The Chinese people have been described as hardworking and pragmatic, attitudes that have contributed to Hong Kong’s success. +There are many stories of refugees who arrived with nothing in their pockets, set up a small sidewalk stall, worked diligently until they had their own store, and then expanded it into a modest chain. +But it is also efficient, with one of the best transportation systems anywhere, and for such a crowded place, quiet — you don’t hear voices raised in anger, motorists sitting on their horns, or loud boomboxes. +Old customs are still followed: Fate and luck are taken very seriously, and astrologers and fortune-tellers do a steady business. +Before a skyscraper can be built, a feng shui (see page 68) investigation must take place to ensure that the site and the building will promote health, harmony, and prosperity. +You’ll also notice that gambling is a passion, whether it be cards, mah-jong, the lottery, or the horses. +Hong Kong has two major racetracks as well as an intensive off-track betting system, and on weekends the ferries to Macau are crowded with people on their way to the casinos. +Sightseeing in Hong Kong starts at sea level with the enthralling water traffic — a mix of freighters, ferries, tugs, junks, and yachts. +From Victoria Peak, Hong Kong’s highest

stories for the lurid horror details and later her crushing defeat. +Conversely, the authors of the two stories examined here do not give readers motivation to wish for the death of Madame White Snake, so the pleasure of the narrative - to borrow appropriate phrasing from film theory - comes not from the death of the insubordinate, disruptive force, from watching the transgressions themselves. +In an essay on the femme fatale heroines of film noir, Janey Place argues that the strong behavior of the female characters supersedes the moral lessons supposedly imparted by their morals at the end. +She writes, “the final ‘lesson’ of the myth often fades into the background and we retain the image of the erotic, strong, unrepressed (if destructive) woman.” +“the final ‘lesson’ of the myth often fades into the background and we retain the image of the erotic, strong, unrepressed (if destructive) woman.” +‘lesson’ +Early tales of Madame White Snake appeared in China as early as the Song Dynasty, and initially her portrayal was fairly direct, as a villainous demon who drains the life force out of her human husband. +Janey Place, “Women in Film Noir” in Women in Film Noir, ed. E. Ann Kaplan (London: British Film Institute, 2003), 48. +“Women in Film Noir” +In these two stories, the femme fatale Madame White Snake is going to live on in the minds of readers not as the shrunken snake trapped under a pagoda, but the sexy, aggressive woman who took a weaker human man as her lover. +This resistant reading of the text may be too colored by modern viewpoints, since it is impossible to know for certain what readers in the past enjoyed about these stories. +However, consciously or unconsciously, these authors created a female character who fits the characteristics of a feisty heroine. +In fact, Communists in the PRC in the 1970s reclaimed her as a feminist symbol for women who rebel against the patriarchy. +Just as the dangerous femme fatale of noir films has reemerged as a heroine in her own right, rather than the sexy death trap for the male protagonist, so too Lady White Snake should be reclaimed for her sexual assertiveness and life slightly outside the bounds of conventional social expectations. +Lai, Whalen. "From Folklore to Literate Theater: Unpacking "Madame White Snake"." Asian Folklore Studies 51, no. 1 (1992): 52. +"Madame White Snake" +“Pagoda” +Whalen Lai notes, “She was a loving wife, a caring mother, rescuer of her family from the first flood, and, at that point, a general benefactor of man. +She took on the virtues of a traditional Chinese female, particularly forbearance”. +Ibid., 53. +Femme fatale might seem an unusual term to apply to a character from pre-modern Chinese and Japanese literature who may exemplify the virtues of an ideal Confucian wife, since it is primarily associated with film characters, particularly those of the film noir genre. +But this term, which is relatively speaking, a neologism (The earliest uses were around the beginning of the 20th century Oxford English Dictionary, “Femme, ” Oxford University Press, http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50083541/50083541se3?single=1&query_type=word&queryword=femme+fatale&first=1&max_to_show=10&hilite=50083541se3 ), is an apt description of the depiction of Madame White Snake and all her incarnations. +“Femme, ” +It refers to a woman who is dangerously attractive, and lures men to their downfall with her sexual attractiveness. +In both incarnations of Madame White snake, the authors depict her as bewitchingly beautiful. +“Lust of the White Serpant” +“disturbed and agitated” +Amanda Bates November 11, 2008 Madame White Snake: East Asian Femme Fatale of Old +“ethereal beauty” +Ueda, Akinari. Ugetsu Monogatari : Tales of Moonlight and Rain : A Complete English Version of the Eighteenth-Century Japanese Collection of Tales of the Supernatural.

Boston: Zheng & Zui Co, 1986, 358. +Both of these stories align negative connotations with her beauty, suggesting that her sexuality is the cause of their distraction. +In addition to distracting sexuality, the irregular characterization of Madame White Snake might be another trait her character has in common with the archetypical noir femme fatale. +In her essay analyzing the noir film from a feminist perspective, Christine Gledhill writes “Not only is the hero frequently not sure whether the woman is honest or a deceiver, but the heroine’s characterisation is itself fractured so that it is not evident to the audience whether she fills the [femme fatale] stereotype or not”. +“Not only is the hero frequently not sure whether the woman is honest or a deceiver, but the heroine’s characterisation is itself fractured so that it is not evident to the audience whether she fills the [femme fatale] stereotype or not” +Christine Gledhill, “Klute 1: A Contemporary Film Noir and Feminist Criticism,” in Feminism and Film, ed. E. Ann Kaplan (New York: Oxford University Press, 2004), 81. +“Klute 1: A Contemporary Film Noir and Feminist Criticism,” +While both stories each characterize Madame White Snake fairly consistently within their narratives, the uneven characterization in film noir perhaps mirrors the evolution of her character over time: readers may not be sure whether she is a pure villainess or whether she is a good wife who is badly treated by society, because there is evidence of both throughout her legend. +She is a loyal wife to her husband as she has promised, but she also causes him to find trouble with the law and deceives him about her supernatural nature. +The complications in her character serve to undercut the ostensible didactic intent of these stories. +Her husband becomes a monk, and this further implicates Lady White Snake, this time from a Buddhist perspective. +Female beauty is a dangerous thing that ties men to the transitory world and prohibits them from being free from desire and ascending to Nirvana. +Furthermore, Lady White Snake’s lover is far from the ideal man. +He is weak-willed and not particularly useful. +In “Lust,” the priest informs Toyoo “Those creatures took advantage of your fair looks and tempted you. +“Lust,” +“Those creatures took advantage of your fair looks and tempted you. But you, yourself, owing to a lack of courage and spirit, fell victim to their temporary form” +But you, yourself, owing to a lack of courage and spirit, fell victim to their temporary form” Ugetsu Monogatari, 177-178. . +The implications of this are that a stronger, more capable man would not fall for the Lady’s trickery. +But are the morals of these stories entirely sincere? +Instead, both these stories feature many moments where readers have great sympathy for her, despite her depraved sexuality. +Certainly, readers admire her patience and loyalty: “I searched everywhere, and now that at last I’ve found you, I’m very happy,” Ibid.,173. she gushes to him in “Lust.” +“I searched everywhere, and now that at last I’ve found you, I’m very happy,” +“Lust.” +Readers must also acknowledge that her human lover is breaking his promise to her when he leaves her. +She pleads with him, “We have a love bond between us, as constant as the T’ai Mountains and the Eastern Sea, and we must live and die together. +“We have a love bond between us, as constant as the T’ai Mountains and the Eastern Sea, and we must live and die together. Please, since we are already married, take me back, and let’s stay together the rest of our lives. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” +While both these stories are ostensibly morality tales about the dangerous beauty of this femme fatale, the true source of pleasure from these narratives is the femme fatale’s transgressive behavior, not her eventual punishment for it. +Please, since we are already married, take me back, and let’s stay together the rest of our lives. +Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” +“Eternal Prisoner,” 369. +In another traditional vernacular story, “Tsu Shih-Niang Sinks the Jewel Box in Anger, “Tu Shih-Niang Sinks the Jew Box in Anger,” trans, Richard M.

I went through the struggles last year and I wanted to be a part of it in the good times." +In addition to Ochoa, the Angels got minor-league catcher Sal Fasano. +In return, the Brewers got backup catcher Jorge Fabregas and two players to be named later. +In the past week, the Angels deemed outfield depth their biggest need, above adding a reliever to the bullpen. +The Russian team of Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze narrowly won the gold medal over the Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, who were later awarded a duplicate gold medal because of the ensuing judging controversy. +OLYMPIC JUDGING SCANDAL DEEPENS WITH ARREST OF RUSSIAN CRIME FIGURE +The French ice dancers, Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat, later won the gold over a Russian team. +The complaint casts the Salt Lake City figure skating scandal in a more serious light than the cronyism and vote-swapping that have tainted the increasingly troubled sport. +Over the past four years, four judges have been suspended, including a Ukrainian who was taped by a Canadian judge detailing the order of finish for the ice dancers before the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. +If convicted of the charges against him -- conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bribery, both felonies _ Tokhtakhounov faces maximum prison time of 10 years and a fine of $500,000 or more. +The United States is seeking his extradition from Italy. +The Italian authorities provided the FBI with information from wiretaps of Tokhtakhounov's home telephone, part of an investigation into his criminal activities. +The FBI said explicit conversations about the scheme had been recorded between Tokhtakhounov and his conspirators, and between him and Anissina, who was born in Russia and skated for France, and her mother. +The FBI cited a vivid conversation with Anissina's mother in which Tokhtakhounov assured her that even if her daughter "falls, we will make sure she is No. 1." +"falls, we will make sure she is No. 1." +After the Winter Olympics, a French judge, Marie-Reine Le Gougne, was suspended by the International Skating Union for not reporting pressure she said was put on her by Didier Gailhaguet, president of the French Skating Federation, to vote for the Russian pairs team. +The ISU later suspended Le Gougne and Gailhaguet for three years. +The federal complaint did not describe the possibility of a wider conspiracy or any contact between Tokhtakhounov, or his unnamed co-conspirators, with Le Gougne. +A Russian accused of being in organized crime was arrested in Italy on Wednesday on an American complaint that he conspired to fix the pairs figure skating and ice dancing competitions at the recent Salt Lake Winter Olympics, which were dominated by the sport's judging scandals. +"We have alleged no connection between this man with any officials other than with Russian federation officials," +"We have alleged no connection between this man with any officials other than with Russian federation officials," James B. Comey, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said at a news conference. +He said that Tokhtakhounov "reached out to a co-conspirator, somebody connected to the Russian Skating Federation, who did the legwork for him." +"reached out to a co-conspirator, somebody connected to the Russian Skating Federation, who did the legwork for him." +Maxwell Miller, Le Gougne's lawyer in Salt Lake City, said no evidence of organized crime influence came up in her suspension hearings before the ISU "I think this situation vindicates the argument that we've made all along," he said. +"I think this situation vindicates the argument that we've made all along," +"She's a scapegoat and a target of a corrupt system and was unfairly singled out." +Tokhtakhounov, whose age was given by Comey as 53 or 62, is a "major figure in international Eurasian organized crime," Comey said. +"major figure in international Eurasian organized crime," +Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and now a Russian citizen, he is known as Taivanchik, or Little Taiwanese, for his Central Asian ethnic background. +Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, he has been implicated in arms trading and Russian art smuggling, and in the Russian news media he was accused of complicity in a plot to extort $10 million from the head of a Russian sports foundation. +He appears to have moved to France in 1989, according to news media reports, and is reported to have Israeli citizenship also. +Comey said Tokhtakhounov had three residences in Italy: Forte dei Marmi, Rome and Milan. +The complaint against Tokhtakhounov's traces his contact with figure skating to 2000, when he proposed to Gailhaguet the creation of a professional hockey team in Paris that would provide revenue for the French Skating Federation. +( Gailhaguet and Anissina are not referred to by name in an accompanying FBI agent's affidavit, but by their descriptions their identities are obvious. +) +In return, Gailhaguet told the FBI on Feb. 23 as the Olympics were taking place, Tokhtakhounov asked for Gailhaguet's help in renewing his French visa, which was about to expire. +"Tokhtakhounov's money is bad," +The federal complaint offers many details of the alleged conspiracy, including excerpts from a transcript of the Italian wiretaps. +On Feb. 5, the Italian wiretaps recorded Tokhtakhounov's request to someone identified as another Russian mobster to get the number of a Russian Skating Federation official. +The second mobster told Tokhtakhounov that the federation official "is close to us -- he is a good guy, he will do it." +"is close to us -- he is a good guy, he will do it." +Tokhtakhounov's action apparently came soon after he said he received a phone call from the mother of the female ice dancer, presumably Anissina. +The Russian, Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, who was arrested by the Italian authorities at his resort home in Forte dei Marmi, appeared to have a singular motivation for rigging the competitions: getting a visa to return to France, where he once lived. +A week later, after Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze's pairs victory, the mobsters spoke again. +The second mobster expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the competition and suggested that Tokhtakhounov could call the ice dancer's "mother or the father and tell them everything will be OK" +"mother or the father and tell them everything will be OK" +He appears to be referring to Anissina. +The second mobster added, "Our Sikharulidze fell, the Canadians were 10 times better, and in spite of that the French with their vote gave us first place." +He added: "Everything is going the way you need it." +"Everything is going the way you need it." +They also discussed the coming judging in ice dancing, in which the French and the Italian teams were the favorites. +The second mobster said the French pair had "only three judges," and of the two judges they needed to win the gold medal "one is ours, and the other our friends will give them." +"only three judges," +"one is ours, and the other our friends will give them." +Their concern for lining up more votes than they thought the Italian ice dancers had may stem from the Italian team's defeat of Anissina and Peizerat in the 2001 world championships. +But they seemed pleased that the Russian pair's victory was achieved with the French judge's vote. +"The French have nothing but the ice dancing," +"The French have nothing but the ice dancing," the second mobster said. +Again, Tokhtakhounov voiced his need to have his French visa extended, and he said Anissina had tried to help him but Gailhaguet had thwarted her. +"we are going to make" +"an Olympic champion." +On or about March 7, in a conversation between Tokhtakhounov and Anissina, she said she would have won the event without his assistance because the Russian judge did not vote for her and her partner. +She also apologized for not calling to thank him earlier, but that Gailhaguet had forbidden her. +"was involved with the results" +"knows my name very well -- he tried to help me, and later he made stuff up to scare you so you would not connect me to him even more." +The conversations seem to indicate a familiarity between Tokhtakhounov and Anissina. +Tass, the official Russian news agency, reported that Anissina attended a ceremony in 1999 at a Paris hotel honoring Tokhtakhounov for his philanthropy. +The federal prosecutor in Manhattan alleged in a criminal complaint that Tokhtakhounov had conceived and directed a scheme with a second man alleged to be in the Russian mob and a member of the Russian Skating Federation to secure a gold medal for the top Russian pairs skaters and for the top French ice dancers, one of whom is a Russian. +That Russian organized crime may have infiltrated international sport at the Olympics stunned Phyllis Howard, president of the U.S. Figure Skating Association. +"This is a criminal act and it certainly puts things in a different league," +"This is a criminal act and it certainly puts things in a different league," Howard said. +Lloyd Ward, chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said in a

Palmisano, IBM's chief executive, emphasized that it was important to make long-term investments despite the current slump in the technology business. +"To play to win in technology, you innovate and you lead," +But manufacturing technology products is a costly and cyclical business. +In June, IBM announced that it was taking a charge of more than $2 billion against earnings. +EAST FISHKILL, N.Y. -- IBM opened a sprawling and sophisticated semiconductor factory here on Wednesday that cost more than $2.5 billion to build and equip, the largest single capital investment the company has ever made. +But Kelly said the demand for advanced chips, like those produced at IBM's facility in Burlington, Vt., is strong. +"I need more capacity in that end of the market," +"I need more capacity in that end of the market," he said, "and this is factory is critical to meeting that growing demand." +But industry analysts said the plant should be insulated from a falloff in one or a few segments of the semiconductor market. +"The diversity is the big difference with this plant," said Richard Doherty, president of Envisioneering, a research firm. +The 140,000-square-foot plant is a testament to advanced manufacturing technology. +The 300-millimeter silicon wafers -- about the size of a standard pizza -- are shuttled around the facility in enclosed plastic pods, which ride on overhead tracks. +They drop down from wires automatically into machines, sheathed in stainless steel and glass, for each stage of processing and fabrication. +Throughout the 500 processing steps, which typically last 20 days, the wafers are not touched by human hands. +The circuits etched into the chips are less than one thousandth the width of a human hair. +Human operators are there to monitor the systems, catch errors and fine-tune the production process for maximum efficiency. +Because each of the hundreds of processing machines is self-enclosed, and essentially airtight, the uniforms operators wear are less constricting than in the previous generation of chip plants, which looked like space suits. +The operators at the East Fishkill factory wear light nylon uniforms, light blue shoe coverings and translucent hair nets made of paper. +They look more like workers in a bakery. +Yes, said Richard Brilla, director of the new facility, "but the donuts are a lot more costly here." +"but the donuts are a lot more costly here." +Each wafer, holding hundreds of chips, is worth $6,000 to $10,000 apiece, depending on what insulation, circuitry and materials are used. +The factory, which opens as the computer chip business is in a slump, is a costly and risky move for IBM. +But it is also an expression of confidence by the company that it can remain a technology leader in the highly competitive global semiconductor industry, and a commitment that the best place to execute that strategy is in upstate New York. +IBM is an exception among computer makers in that it still invests heavily in research to advance the design, manufacture and materials used in semiconductor chips. +Just another wild and crazy guy. +Date with destiny: After Vanderbilt opens with Georgia Tech, the Commodores will play host to Furman, which is Johnson's former team and a Division I-AA powerhouse. +Did he consider trying to cancel?

cuisines, most prominently Indian, Chinese and Vietnamese. +Generally, they are halved lengthwise, the seeds and fibrous pulp removed and the flesh sliced into crescents. +CHRON EDITORS NOTE: Each week, The Chronicle offers readers a look at the more unusual fruits, vegetables and herbs of each season and how to use them. +They are frequently blanched or salted and left to macerate for up to an hour, then rinsed and patted dry to tame the bitterness. +Chinese hot-and-sour soup made with egg white and crabmeat often includes bitter melon. +It also appears in stir-frys, especially those based on pork. +Black bean sauce is a favorite seasoning. +When pickled, bitter melon makes a savory condiment. +In Vietnam, bitter melon halves are stuffed with meat mixtures, such as ground pork with black mushrooms and cellophane noodles, then braised. +Colin Spencer's "Vegetable Book" details an intriguing Indian chapati in which bitter melon, seeds left intact, is sliced, parboiled, then mixed with lightly fried garlic and Indian spices, flour and yogurt. +The mixture is fried like a thick pancake and served, sliced, with rice, naan and other curries. +THE PRODUCE BIN: Bitter melon +SAN FRANCISCO -- A staple of Chinese and Indian cooking, these gourds (botanically, Momordica charantia) with skin like toads grow on climbing vines that can reach 12 feet. +The Chinese and Indian varieties differ little in taste. +Though they resemble squashes, they are natives to Asia, rather than the Americas, but are now cultivated in many regions of the world that boast moderate to warm climates. +Hmong farmers grow them in California's Central Valley, and Mexico has a substantial crop. +SEASON Bitter melons can be found in Asian and specialty produce markets primarily from spring through late fall. +Friday to Sunday, the action moves to Napa, with both members-only and public events at COPIA: The American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts, of which she is an honorary board member. +The schedule Child and her assistant of 14 years, former pastry chef Stephanie Hersh, have laid out is not exactly a senior-citizen routine, even though Child has always been candid about her age and realistic in assessing her own capabilities. +Grande dame of cooking still going strong at 90: Julia Child celebrates in San Francisco +When the Pasadena native moved back to California from her long-time home in the Boston area last year, she also made the move from a condominium she and her late husband, Paul, had purchased many years ago to a progressive retirement home. +She is in the most active of the four levels available, but should the need arise, she can move on to assisted living facilities within the same complex. +"Julia," explains Hersh, "made these retirement plans many years ago. +She thinks it's selfish for people not to make arrangements for their old age in good time." +But so far, age has been kind to the ebullient Child. +In a phone interview a couple of weeks ago, she reported with glee that surgery early this month to remove a small cyst on her spinal cord had "miraculously" cleared up recent problems in walking: "Turned out there is nothing wrong with my legs at all." +So she can once again go shopping, buying whatever seems best on any given day. +Though she had a "nice" kitchen installed in her new home, Child said it's like a ship's galley -- a far cry from the huge, three-pantry kitchen Paul Child designed for their house in Cambridge. +That may well be the best-known kitchen in America, since it became the site of the "French Chef" television programs, which started airing in 1962. +"Back there, we always ate in the kitchen," Child reminisced, "I cannot do that here." +That means her entertaining has been curtailed, even though she still has an active social life with the many friends the Childs made during 22 winters spent in Santa Barbara. +She will have reunions of sorts with her famous kitchen in the next few weeks. +How does it feel to turn 90 and have attained the status of an icon, a living legend? +One of its Peg-Board walls was dismantled and reinstalled at COPIA; the rest went to Washington, D.C., and the Behring Center of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. +(all CQ) Hersh recalls the museum staff's approach to preserving the famous kitchen as awesome: They cataloged and photographed everything, from stove to windows, blinds to drawer contents. +As reinstalled in Washington, the kitchen should be as we all remember it from countless TV shows, "right down to the toothpicks." +Child will go to the capital for the debut of the exhibit right after the Maine birthday bash. +To see her kitchen -- and by extension, herself -- enshrined in the Smithsonian, she said, "will be an odd feeling" and no doubt bring back memories. +But Child is not one to get maudlin about the past, though she does want to keep it alive. +She's already got her next project picked out: A memoir of her and Paul's life in the diplomatic service with his professional photographs and some of her collected recipes. +It will undoubtedly retell how the seeds of her culinary career were sown: Fresh off the boat on their way to Paris and Paul Child's new posting (they had met in Sri Lanka during World War II), they stopped for lunch in Rouen. +That lunch lit a spark that made Julia decide to take classes at the Cordon Bleu, which in turn led to her friendship and collaboration with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, co-authors of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," and, ultimately, to America's culinary revolution. +How to feed a legend +So what do you prepare when asked to cook a birthday dinner for America's most famous culinary personality? +Some of the country's top chefs will answer that question Thursday at the 20 dinners nationwide that will celebrate Julia Child's approaching 90th birthday. +The question may be most acute for three San Francisco chefs preparing the long sold-out dinner at Fifth Floor restaurant, because the honoree herself plans to be there. +They are the host restaurant's executive chef, Laurent Gras; his counterpart at Masa's, Ron Siegel, and Masa pastry chef Keith Jeanminette. +"It seems she loves soups," said Siegel, "so I am picking up on her vichyssoise. +The show, along with her seminal book, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" (1961), revolutionized the way America cooks and eats. +But since it's the middle of summer, I am adding fresh corn to it" -- plus a dollop of caviar for good measure. +In the same vein, Gras is tweaking her salade nicoise, and Jeanminette is adapting her mousse au chocolat to become a spectacular six-layer pecan marjolaine. +He could hardly go wrong. +When Child was asked some years back what she would order for her last meal, she ended the list with "something chocolate for dessert." +Here is the San Francisco chefs' menu: +Corn vichyssoise with caviar +Julia's composed near-nicoise salad +Sonoma duck breast a la Julia Child with crispy pancetta and sweet summer onions and naturally enriched duck sauce +Six-layer pecan marjolaine with Julia's coffee chocolate mousse, cocoa meringue, pecan crust and citrus sorbet +list> +Words of wisdom +She never subscribed to cuisine minceur, cholesterol-free cooking, meat-free meal plans, organic food or any of the other politically correct trends of different times -- and that includes restricted diets, in spades. +Take small helpings +While making light of the difference a day -- or another decade -- makes, Child intends to enjoy her birthday thoroughly. +No seconds +No snacking +Eat a little bit of everything +Drink modest amounts of good wine. +Why we love Julia +It's easy to imagine what Bay Area chefs like Alice Waters or Michael Mina might have to say about Julia Child on her 90th birthday. +But what about Bay Area notables who like to cook but are not connected to a professional kitchen? +Susie Tompkins Buell, socialite and political activist who co-founded the Esprit de Corps fashion company: "When I think of Julia Child I think of the television episode where she's showing you how to make a turkey dinner and the turkey fell on the floor. +It's live and she leans over and picks it up and says, `What the guests don't see won't hurt them.' +You have to be playful and confident about cooking. +She cooks that way, and I cook that way." +Denise Hale, social icon and Liza Minnelli's stepmother: "Julia Child gave to all women one beautiful present: Watching her series you found out you don't have to be perfect." +Francis Ford Coppola, film director: "I think she's a fascinating woman, and I enjoy very much watching her shows with Jacques Pepin." +First, there will be all the public observances, including a sold-out dinner Thursday at San Francisco's tony Fifth Floor restaurant, which -- like dinners that night at 19 other venues across the country -- will benefit the scholarship fund of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (which Child co-founded). +Harry Denton, San Francisco nightclub owner: "My favorite thing about her is her straightforward honesty and that her favorite food is butter. +I love butter, too." +Michael Chabon, author of Pulitzer Prize winner "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay": "All I think of when I think of her now is Dan Akroyd pretending to be her (on Saturday Night Live) and chopping his fingers off and bleeding all over." +The nationwide boycott of Chilean seabass is a potent example of the new activism. +"I have made it a policy of mine never to serve Chilean seabass," +"I have made it a policy of mine never to serve Chilean seabass," said Billy Hahn, executive chef at Jake's Famous Crawfish, a Portland, Ore., landmark since 1892. +"I refuse to sell it." +Chilean seabass, also known as Patagonian toothfish, came into vogue in the 1990s in U.S. restaurants and fish markets. +RESPONSIBLE SEAFOOD SALES ARE THE CATCH OF THE DAY +With rising demand for the firm, oil-rich fish came pirate fishing fleets eager to cash in on its popularity -- even if it meant skirting catch limits and environmental regulations. +But in some areas, the seabass are being overfished. +That is potentially a problem because Chilean seabass are a long-lived species -- living as long as 50 years -- and reproduce slowly, said Susan Buchanan, a spokeswoman for the federal government's National Marine Fisheries Service. +ATTENTION EDITORS: This article from the NEWHOUSE NEWS SERVICE report of TUESDAY, JULY 30, 2002, is available as a "separate buy." +The NMFS estimates that in 2000, more than 16,000 tons of Chilean seabass were legally caught from an internationally regulated harvest area in the Antarctic Ocean. +But more than 32,000 tons may have been taken illegally from those same waters, the fisheries service said. +Impatient with regulators, the National Environmental Trust began a boycott campaign in February called "Take a Pass on Chilean Seabass." +The Washington-based conservation group says more than 530 restaurants have signed on. +A number of restaurants not officially part of the National Environmental Trust boycott also have stopped serving Chilean seabass. +And it's not just the white tablecloth crowd. +Red Lobster, with 660 restaurants in the United States and Canada, dropped Chilean seabass from the menu in the past year because of "sustainability" concerns, said Wendy Spirduso, communications director for the Orlando, Fla.-based chain. +"sustainability" +Some retailers also have pulled Chilean seabass. +"We've discontinued selling swordfish, Chilean seabass, orange roughy and marlin," +"We've discontinued selling swordfish, Chilean seabass, orange roughy and marlin," said Mark Cockcroft, national seafood buyer for Wild Oats Markets, a chain of 103 stores. +"We are also taking a real hard look currently at almost all species of shark, though we haven't made a formal statement about that." +Whole Foods Markets, with 133 stores nationwide, also does not sell Chilean seabass. +All of this comes at a time when Americans are consuming more seafood: 15 to 16 pounds per person each year, compared with 10.3 pounds per person in 1960 and 12.5 pounds in 1980, according to the National Fisheries Institute, an industry association. +At the same time, about half the world's fisheries are being fished to capacity. +The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reports that 47 percent to 50 percent of stocks are "fully exploited," meaning that catches have either reached or are close to maximum limits. +Another 15 percent to 18 percent are "overexploited," and 9 percent to 10 percent have been "depleted or are recovering from depletion." +The seafood industry is less than thrilled about this surge of interest in ocean ecosystems from people who are not scientists. +Fisheries management is best left to the experts, said Thor Lassen, president of Ocean Trust, a research and conservation foundation partly financed by the fishing industry. +"It involves very complicated choices that have to do with the biology of species, their life cycles, how they respond to various changes in the oceans, etc." +When there's a boycott, Lassen said, "it's not environmentalists or chefs making the sacrifice, it's coastal communities." +"it's not environmentalists or chefs making the sacrifice, it's coastal communities." +Rod Moore, executive director of the West Coast Seafood Processors Association, suggests that activists with an agenda are manipulating chefs and retailers. +The conservation groups providing information to chefs and retailers and lists of environmentally appropriate seafoods to consumers are the same groups working to affect fisheries management on the political and regulatory level, Moore said. +That's simply good strategy, said James Leape, deputy director of the conservation program for the David and Lucile Packard Foundation in Los Altos, Calif. +They included support for marine reserves and money for fisheries management reform. +"One of the principal concerns of the Packard Foundation is the preservation of natural resources, particularly in the oceans, and one of the greatest threats is overfishing," +"One of the principal concerns of the Packard Foundation is the preservation of natural resources, particularly in the oceans, and one of the greatest threats is overfishing," Leape said. +(UNDATED) Chefs and seafood retailers are wading into one of the hottest natural resource issues of the day: fisheries management. +The California aquarium also created "Seafood Watch" wallet cards designed to take to restaurants. +More than 600,000 of the cards and seafood guides have been distributed since 2000, said Jennifer Dianto, Seafood Watch program manager at the aquarium. +Chefs and retailers around the country know they must be prepared to deal with customers who arrive with the aquarium's seafood card in hand. +But in a business in which 12-hour shifts are the norm, some chefs worry about their lack of time to stay informed about complicated, rapidly changing fisheries management issues. +Some working chefs say they routinely review conservation group Web sites, government reports and industry sources. +"For me, it's very difficult to be certain that the information which is given to me is real," said Eric Ripert, chef at Le Bernardin, a four-star seafood restaurant in Manhattan. +"I don't know. +I don't have enough information to know, for example, if Chilean seabass is really disappearing or if it's political pressure." +It's no longer unusual for chefs to refuse to serve a species they think to be at risk of extinction or for a retailer to promote seafoods that are abundant and part of a healthy marine ecosystem. +Despite being uncertain of its status, Ripert pulled Chilean seabass. +Le Bernardin's menu also informs diners that the restaurant will not serve swordfish to support efforts "to recover the species." +"to recover the species." +"I don't wish to be a spokesman for any campaign," +"I do it as somebody who has a conscience and is caring." +(Michelle Cole is a staff writer for The Oregonian of Portland, Ore. +She can be contacted at michellecole(at)news.oregonian.com.) +Most say they're driven by the desire to do right by the environment. +Some also say they must listen to their customers' concerns or risk a consumer backlash. +But powerful groups, including the American Medical Association, oppose the idea and have a surprising source of support: psychologists themselves, some of whom call it a radical experiment and fear that the most likely victim will be the science of psychology. +"I am concerned that nonmedically trained people as legitimate prescribers of drugs will not be accepted by the American public," +PRESCRIPTION PRIVILEGES MAKE SOME PSYCHOLOGISTS ANXIOUS +The APA has spent more than $1 million to help state psychological associations develop and lobby for such prescription privileges -- or "RxP" -- legislation. +A total of 31 state psychology associations have task forces dedicated to developing and lobbying for prescription-privileges legislation. +The version endorsed by the APA would license doctoral-level psychologists to independently prescribe psychotropic drugs after completing 300 hours of classroom instruction in neuroscience, physiology and pharmacology, followed by four months' supervised treatment of 100 patients. +Critics say that is not nearly enough compared with other prescribers, such as M.D. psychiatrists or nurse practitioners who have at least six years' medical education and clinical experience. +Neither Davison nor most other RxP opponents doubt the efficacy of medications. +Their greatest objection is to the notion of turning psychology into a prescribing profession. +In a field that has struggled long and hard to prove that mind, mood and behavior can be studied empirically, the past decade, Davison says, has seen "exciting developments" that demonstrate the validity of various psychotherapeutic interventions and the psychosocial-behavioral models on which they are based. +"exciting developments" +"The timing is peculiar to abandon psychological science or to convert it to a medical science," +"The timing

Paul Tibbets, the pilot who would drop the world's first atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Japan, was commander of the unit and chose the men. +A mission to end a war +Karnes was Tibbets' adjutant, the man in charge of writing the orders and cajoling the transfer to the unit of servicemen proficient in bombing, mechanics, ordnance, engineering and communications. +Tibbets hated paperwork. +Karnes thought it was a breeze. +They were a wartime match that changed the world. +Japan surrendered within days of the detonation of the atomic bombs that killed 140,000 people in Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and 70,000 in Nagasaki three days later. +AUSTIN, Texas -- Tom Karnes was dialing for destiny, but not everyone wanted to cooperate. +The story of the 509th is a tale of an elite outfit that lived in a bubble of secrecy and endured the taunts of other war-weary U.S. units that resented sharing a small Pacific island with the 509th, which appeared exempt from combat. +Tinian Island was the staging area where the 509th moved after its creation in the desert. +He never even told his story to students in his 40 years of teaching college. +War is hell, he says, and when it was over, he wanted to come home and rejoin his young family and not dwell on it. +He earned a doctorate in history from Stanford University and taught Latin American history at Tulane University and Arizona State University. +Next week marks the 57th anniversary of the atomic bombings. +Karnes sat in his wood-paneled office in a Quonset hut in the middle of the Great Salt Lake Desert, a black telephone to his ear. +Each year on Aug. 6, "I always think of Paul Tibbets and how he handled unbelievable responsibility," Karnes said. +Karnes met Tibbets when the 29-year-old bomber pilot walked into Karnes' office at Wendover Army Air Field on the Utah-Nevada border. +Karnes was the personnel and classification officer. +He was only a captain, but he had been left in charge at Wendover the day Tibbets surprised them by landing a B-29, a new plane no one at Wendover had seen. +He was searching for a remote installation to train bomber crews and support units in total secrecy. +Tibbets instantly liked the isolation and vast size of Wendover and the surrounding Bonneville Salt Flats. +And he immediately liked Karnes, who showed him around the base. +In Karnes, Tibbets found a kindred spirit -- and a handball partner. +Both were smart, disciplined, quiet men who thrived on efficiency, perfection and self-reliance. +Each had skills the other admired. +Tibbets was a decorated, top-gun pilot, but Karnes could wrangle the military rule book as well as Tibbets could fly. +He was tracking down men to join a group so secret he couldn't admit it existed. +"I don't recall ever having to tell Tom to do anything," +"I don't recall ever having to tell Tom to do anything," Tibbets said in an e-mail this week. +I was very lucky to have Tom. +" +Tibbets quickly returned to Wendover after that first visit to set up his headquarters. +His first order appointed Karnes adjutant for the 509th. +Almost overnight, Wendover became a high-security base filled with off-limit areas covered in barbed wire. +No one was allowed to talk about what they saw or heard, even though most of the 509th had no idea why they were there, except that 15 B-29s were being modified to carry a heavy load. +Karnes and his staff read outgoing mail to make sure no secrets slipped out. +Karnes hated to pry, and skimmed over personal portions of the letters. +On his metal desk were names of military men being ordered into the organization. +Karnes knew the 509th was preparing for a special bombing mission, but he had no idea what kind of bombs were involved. +"I had a friend, the finance officer. +He said that they had split the atom and that we were going to drop an atomic bomb," Karnes said. +"I said, `No."' +A noncommittal "mmm-mm," was the most Karnes could ever get out of Tibbets on matters of the bomb. +"mmm-mm," +By spring, the 509th prepared to move to Tinian Island, near Guam and Saipan. +That would put the B-29s about 1,500 miles from Japan -- a 13-hour round-trip flight. +Karnes was deluged with orders for inoculations, equipment, transfers and promotions. +He was calling bases all over the United States to line up their transfer to the desert outside Salt Lake City. +Karnes arrived on Tinian on May 18, 1945, as part of an advance team that flew in the five C-54 transport planes of the 509th. +On May 29, 1,200 men arrived on the troopship Cape Victory after a five-week trip from Seattle. +Tinian Island had been captured from Japan, and the Seabees, the construction arm of the Navy, had built two large airfields. +The 509th took North Field and stayed in relative isolation from other B-29 units on the island. +The word spread: "This is it. +"This is it. +This is the big mission." +Karnes and hundreds of other men from the 509th stood along the flight line as Tibbets and the Enola Gay took off at 2:45 a.m. on Aug. 6, a warm, tropical night. +"Where is the authority?" +Three B-29s had gone ahead to check the weather at Hiroshima and two other possible bomb sites. +Two other B-29s left in two-minute intervals after Tibbets so their crews could take photos and drop devices to measure radiation and other effects of the bomb. +Tibbets got the word only an hour from Hiroshima that the city's weather was clear. +Early in the flight, the crew had inserted a plug of uranium into the 9,000-pound bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy. +" +The crew slipped on dark glasses to prepare for the blinding flash of the bomb. +At 8:15 a.m. Hiroshima time, the pneumatic bomb-bay doors opened and "Little Boy," equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT, fell out. +The Enola Gay climbed, and Tibbets fought to turn the plane in the air-bending, 155-degree the crews had been practicing off Tinian for months. +He pushed off the dark glasses because he couldn't see to fly. +"Who says this?" +A minute later, the shock wave hit. +The crew was horrified by the purple mushroom cloud that climbed to 10 miles and looked as if it would engulf the Enola Gay. +More shocking was the city of Hiroshima, which was on fire and bubbling like tar. +But he didn't sleep long. +Someone woke him to say Gen. Hap Arnold, chief of the Army Air Forcesin Washington, was on the phone and asking for him. +Each time, Karnes said what he had to: "Call Air Force headquarters if you don't believe me." +Arnold told Karnes, "Tibbets is going to be landing in three to four hours, and I want to give him the Distinguished Service Cross, and it is your job to write up the explanation." +"I had no idea how you wrote up an award. +I'd never written up any award," +I'd never written up any award," Karnes said. +"So I got all of my sergeants out, and they're all digging through their (books.)" +"Call Air Force headquarters if you don't believe me." +When an unsuspecting Tibbets descended from the Enola Gay on Tinian, he barely managed to palm his pipe as Gen. Carl Spaatz, commander of the Strategic Air Forces, stepped forward to pin the medal on his bomb flight coveralls. +Karnes, like the hundreds of others gathered along the flight line, was jubilant. +He knew the war would soon be over and he would be heading home. +A yearof secrecy and hard work wasover. +Three days later, another B-29 from the 509th bombed Nagasaki. +Five days later, Japan surrendered and World War II was over. +Today, Karnes is frustrated that some of his fellow historians, the ones he calls "revisionists," question the wisdom and morality of the bombings. +“I will help you find your Rachel. +I have to warn you, though, you won’t like what I have to tell you.” +“Tell me anyway. +If she’s in trouble, I want to find her, wherever she is.” +My driver took a deep breath. +As he did, his neck stretched in a strange way and I noticed several thin lines, like wrinkles, running across the sides of his neck. +“Nathan,” +“Nathan,” he began in the way that people speak when they start a long and difficult explanation, +“Rachel met someone last night whom it is best never to meet. +This person, like me, is not a member of traditional society. +You see, Nathan, there is …separate from your society …oh, damn it. +I’ve never had to give this conversation before. +Come on, I have something to show you.” +With that, he made a sharp turn onto a side street that I hadn’t noticed before. +We drove between slummy housing and storefronts so decayed that I couldn’t tell whether they were abandoned. +My driver turned again next to an old warehouse that I might have been in once when Mitch took us to a rave in sophomore year. +In front of a few houses, there were cars parked, but there were almost none on the streets. +I got a strange feeling that we weren’t supposed to be driving here. +“Hey,” +I mean – ” +“Just ignore that,” +“Just ignore that,” he told me. +“You’ll be used to the sensation in a moment.” +That just unnerved me more. +As we kept driving, the anxiety grew more pronounced. +My girlfriend Rachel and I would go to the clubs near our school. +I noticed that there were some people on the street, people the same color as the soiled buildings. +He parked and got out. +“Is it really safe to leave the car …” +he was already walking toward the squat, brick-windowed building we were parked next to. +Glancing back at that gleaming glare, I decided that it might be safer to follow the driver than to wait with the car. +I hopped out, ran after him, and reached him just as he was knocking on the door. +Sometimes we'd get word that people were gathering under one of the bridges, and we'd rush down to hit it before the cops broke it up. +Inside, the building opened up. +The ceiling was high and wooden, and I could see part of a DJ’s booth down the hall. +It looked like we were in the back of a nightclub. +Then I looked down and saw what had let us in. +What up?” +The hunchbacked being who let us in held out a scraggly paw for him to slap. +“Nice, my man,” he said as they clasped hands. +“Who’s the freak?” +“This is someone from Ivan’s family. +Did I ever tell you about them?” +“Yeah, one time, man, but you were pretty fucked up. +What’s your problem, kid?” +The hunchbacked man came up to my stomach. +His skin was brown and stretched, like some diseased sapling’s bark. +It pulled back around his fingertips, which bore things that might have been nails or claws. +When he grinned, I saw that his teeth were sharp and small, like a hunting cat’s. +Under matted hair, his eyes had slit pupils. +Nepthys quickly answered for me. +“Girlfriend troubles. +She came down here with someone after a party, and I don’t think it was one of your average pixies.” +“Bummer. +So, what’s the cat look like?” +He turned to me. +Nepthys nodded: “It’s okay, you can trust him. +“It’s okay, you can trust him. +It was easier to talk than to question. +“I …I noticed him from across the room when I was looking around for Rachel. +Boston is a strange place at night. +He was standing right in front of some blue lights, so I couldn’t see him very well, but I noticed the way that the light set off his pale skin. +It almost looked like the light bent around him without actually touching him directly. +He was slim, almost drawn, but he had a kind of … luster to him, I guess. +He wasn’t a person you’d describe with normal adjectives, you know?” +You wouldn't believe half of the shit I've seen, even when I was straight. +They nodded. +“Oh, totally,” +“I get that all the time around here.” +“He was wearing a sort of jacket …maybe blue velvet, I couldn’t tell in the dark, but it had ruffles at the throat, things like that. +He really stood out. +That’s why I couldn’t understand why no-one else remembered him. +I remember that he hardly ever moved, just stared at Rachel. +Even when he talked, he hardly opened his mouth. +I don’t know how he could’ve been heard over the music.” +The two glanced at each other. +asked the hunchback. +“I’ve looked into it a little, and I do think we might be dealing with one of them. +Have you seen anyone like that in your club?” +I can send you to a guy who knows all about them, though. +It was a Friday night. +If this cat’s for real, I bet my friend can tell you everything you need to know.” +“You’re a wonder, Dvorov. +It won’t be long before nightfall.” +“Oh yeah, man. +The hunchback pulled out a scrap of paper and scribbled something on it with his fingernail, then handed it to Nepthys. +“Here you go, man. +Good luck!” +“Thanks, Dvorov. +I owe you one. +Let’s go.” +That last one was to me. +I waved goodbye to the hunchback as we left. +Back on the street, I began to see things that I had never looked for until then. +Still in my initial shock, I suddenly noticed qualities of the people that my mind hadn’t registered when we parked. +The yellow of this sky wasn’t just smog: it had a leeching, heavy dimness. +I saw men three feet tall with dusty black skin and eyes that shed yellow light. +A corpulent, batrachian woman walked along with something on a leash that looked like a massive water beetle. +She checked it there in the restaurant. +Leaning from the rough-hewn window of one building on our right was something with long, green hair draped across the seven gangly arms hanging from its windowsill. +Thirty-five thin fingers waved lazily like seaweed. +I noticed when my back hit the wall that I was walking backwards. +“We, and thousands like us, have been living separately as long as there has been a human society,” +“We, and thousands like us, have been living separately as long as there has been a human society,” said my driver. +Her head tilted into the phone as she listened, her pleather purse on her lap, shining jet against the worn black of her snug Dead Can Dance T-shirt. +I noticed that the wrinkles on his neck expanded as he breathed and realized that they were gills. +“We interact with humans, take advantage of them, grant them boons, sometimes even become their friends, but the majority of both societies have little or no interaction. +At this point, we have removed ourselves so fully from quotidian human existence that we are understood to be fictional. +“The only place with any significant interaction between our worlds is on the fringes of yours. +Love-ins, raves, gatherings where society is put on hold and humans open themselves to emotion: that is where entities from this world tend to go when they cross over, and that is where Rachel met someone from this world. +Those of us who live permanently in this world tend to set up in places like this, where the human population is so overwhelming that they won’t be noticed in the right corner, with the right protective spells.” +He took out the hunchback’s directions and glanced at an alley behind us. +We should get started right away. +There’s no time to waste.” +He saw that I wasn’t moving. +Setting an arm on my shoulder, he said, “Nathan, what you see here might be frightening, but those things you saw are people just like you. +They’ll be as surprised to see a human as you are to see men with seven arms.” +“Thanks. +It’s very reassuring that I’ll not only be an outsider but a curiosity.” +“Nathan, you told me five minutes ago that you would do anything to help Rachel. +Well, she’s here and she needs your help. +Now, the more we can do before nightfall, the better.” +“But why are you even helping me? +Until thirty seconds ago, I didn’t believe in magic or any of that kind of …weirdness.” +“Nathan, I told you: my family owes yours a debt. +In this world, one’s word is a promise. +Now, can we get going?” +I caught my breath and forced myself to look him in the eye. +“He says we should meet him tonight, there’s a good one going on in that church that closed down last month.” +“Only if you stop beginning every sentence with my name.” +“You’ve got a deal. +Let’s go.” +As we headed down the sidewalk, I said, “What is your name, anyway?” +“That’s a question you learn not to ask here. +What you may call me is Nepthys.” +Holding Dvorov’s directions, Nepthys took us around the corner of the building into a skinny alleyway. +I started wondering again how reliable my guide’s credentials were. +Walking through an alley with rubbish piles that occasionally skittered from one wall to the other, he did not inspire confidence. +“Just at this corner,” +“Just at this corner,” he said, interrupting my immanent panic attack, “we’re going to stop and turn three times widdersh – er, counterclockwise, then face east. +“we’re going to stop and turn three times widdersh – er, counterclockwise, then face east. +He pointed at the wall to our right. +“Don’t let the sun fool you. +Then I’m going to shed a little blood, but don’t worry, none of yours.” +“Okay, you might feel silly, but just turn three times to your left. +Try to keep in time with me.” +We spun around three times, and then something flashed across Nepthys’ hand and he shook a spray of blood onto the dust. +“I don’t know … it was going to be just us tonight. +The blood flashed into flames as soon as it hit the ground, and I jumped back. +Nepthys walked towards it and pressed his bloody palm against it, opening the door. +“Are you coming?” +We slipped through the door and came out, not inside the building, but on a busy street in a completely different part of town. +The sky, cupping over squat buildings, was less yellow here, and stands were set up everywhere the way I’d picture a market in the Middle East. +I’m not sure I’m up for a night out.” +Nepthys took us immediately to the right, where he led us to a cart filled with herbs. +Spiced air hanging around the cart carried tarragon, rosemary, and scents I couldn’t place. +The thing tending the cart reminded me of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland: it had the same opium-dream wise man quality I’d always given the caterpillar. +I was feeling calm and private that night. +Its arms were thin and long enough to reach any herbs from its cushion in the center of the cart, and with its long, many-shouldered pole of a torso, it rose over our heads even while seated. +Its face was small and wrinkled, with penny-sized smoked glasses balanced on its thin nose. +“Would the gentlemen care to purchase some fine herbs?” +it asked. +“There are no finer to spice a meal, nor purer to mix a potion. +It seemed like tonight’s darkness was small and personal, cupped hands offering a place for two, not the burning, open darkness of a rave. +Please, let yourselves breathe the fine scent of these herbs.” +“We’re not here to browse,” +“We’re not here to browse,” Nepthys told him. +“We’d like to see a man about some garlic.” +“We have many fine cloves of garlic here on the cart, gentle sir. +If – ” +“You know what I mean. +Please, if we could see him, we would be much obliged. +It hissed thoughtfully. +“True, true. +Step behind the cart and enter through the door there, using your left hand to open the door and your right – ” +he looked at me “ – to close it.” +“ – to close it.” +“Thank you.” +Nepthys bowed slightly and we walked behind the cart. +The latch opened under Nepthys’ left hand with a clack! +The door took us to the bottom of a flight of wooden stairs. +At the top was one door. +We entered. +The room held a bed, a bookcase, and a desk with one chair. +Its only light came from a dying candle on the desk whose spark etched shadows in the roughly planked walls. +I smelled matted hair and cedar chips. +He opened one eye when we came in but did not move. +“We’re here for information about a vampire,” +“We’re here for information about a vampire,” said Nepthys. +“Oh, shit!” +I said. +“Sorry, kid. +–Would you do us the kindness of helping us to identify an individual?” +“Wait, Nepthys – you said nothing about vampires. +Are …look, are they as bad as people in my world think they are?” +It’s been over a week, and I want to dance. +“I don’t know. +They’re almost as rare here, and I’ve never heard a reliable story of someone successfully fighting a vampire.” +“Only unsuccessfully, right?” +“No, those people don’t usually leave stories.” +“Oh, thanks, Nepthys, for your confidence-inspiring tales of experience. +So they’re probably worse than we think, okay, that’s great. +Now can you tell me what your master plan of attack will be before we go spinning counterclockwise into an Anne Rice novel?” +Let’s go together, you know you’ll have fun once you get into it.” +Don’t forget, she’s your girlfriend. +Now calm down while I talk to this gentleman. +I can hear your heartbeat from over here.” +It came in through my mother's blood; my Russian grandmother would always tell me stories, bylichkas, of ancestors with the "second sight", stupid mill owners who discovered bags of gold after letting a special fish off their hooks, and dark strangers who used to appear to help or interfere at crucial times. +I shut up and tried to breathe. +Nepthys turned back to the little man on the bed, who had not moved. +“Please, accept our apologies. +As you can see, our situation is of personal importance to the young man. +Now: may we ask you a few questions about an individual we believe to be a vampire? +It would be a great help to us.” +She bit the inside of her bottom lip, looking at me like I was breaking her poor, sweet heart. +The little man drew a few loud breaths that died in the wooden room’s tight air. +Finally, in a pinched rasp, he said, “My information is purely for the purposes of a collector. +“My information is purely for the purposes of a collector. +I do not want to provide help to someone who would do harm.” +If there is any boon that you would have us do in return, we would be glad to do it.” +He continued to lie in place, still breathing heavily. +I tried to keep myself calm. +“I have need of a certain stone that I once possessed. +It would allow me to leave this bed, despite my current illness. +My problem is that it was not made in this realm, but by a human, and only a human may handle it. +If you would fetch me this stone, I would tell you what I can.” +“Of course we will fetch you the stone,” +“Of course we will fetch you the stone,” Nepthys assured him. +“You have our thanks.” +Outside, the thing at the herb cart nodded when we mentioned the stone. +When we reached the street, I expected some sort of temple, or a row of antiquaries, or at least a sleazy, black-market relics merchant. +Instead, it looked like we were in the red-light district: women who probably wanted more than our money eyed us from the alleys. +Nepthys didn’t need to warn me not to speak to them. +“Okay, Rachel. +He took us to the door of a building like a short pagoda that had a sign hanging over it showing a face with hands uplifted, like a saint under G d’s light, and handcuffed. +Let’s go, you’re probably right.” +A large woman, similarly decorated, quickly drifted up to us. +“Good evening, gentlemen,” +“Good evening, gentlemen,” she said. +“May I invite you to have a cup of tea?” +She grinned and gave me a kiss across the table, her lips soft and firm and sticking just enough that she gave the feeling you were really kissing, not just pressing your face into someone else’s. +“No, thank you,” +“No, thank you,” said Nepthys, “we regret that we cannot take up your kind offer. +“we regret that we cannot take up your kind offer. Are you the proprietor of this shop?” +Are you the proprietor of this shop?” +“Yes,” +“Yes,” answered the woman. +“I am Madame Entera, at your service. +She raised an eyebrow. +“Are you? +Well, we don’t get many customers asking about that item. +Please, walk this way.” +She led us past the silks and through an arch decorated with pictures of wooden ships and what looked like African tribesmen. +The next room had mosaics of what could have been Rome, with men in simple tunics working in a vineyard on one wall and men in odd, floppy hats on the other. +After this, we went up a flight of stairs and past a row of doors barred on the outside. +“Excuse me,” +“but may I ask what is kept in these rooms?” +The woman laughed. +“Why, the merchandise, of course,” she said. +Nepthys leaned close to my ear. +“This is a slave shop,” +“This is a slave shop,” he explained quietly. +The woman paused before another door, this one not barred but locked. +As she brought out the key, she said, “We deal mostly in fairly mundane trades, but there are a few customers with more unusual needs and people willing to sell unusual items. +“We deal mostly in fairly mundane trades, but there are a few customers with more unusual needs and people willing to sell unusual items. +We’ve had genies, indentured sorcerers, even golems and the occasional elf. +This is one of the stranger items, though. +It’s been in our collection for several years because only a human can activate it. +If we only had a human on our staff, we could have done so ages ago and sold it off, but we have no such luck.” +She opened the door and took us past several doors marked with odd geometrical designs to another locked room. +“Here it is,” she said. +With a flourish, she opened the door to reveal a room with walls inlaid with lapis and gold wire, intricate patterns like a Czar’s jewelry box crawling down the walls. +In its center, under a spearing, white light, was a golden table draped with a blue velvet cloth, on which lay a gray, plum-sized rock. +“Let’s not get fucked up tonight, though, okay, Rache? +“A marvel, isn’t it?” +she said. +“That such a rock could hold so much magic – it’s a wonder.” +“That it is,” +“That it is,” Nepthys assured her. +“What would convince you to part with it?” +“You wouldn’t give me the human, would you? +No, +No,” +she said, seeing his expression, “that would make the stone rather useless.” +“that would make the stone rather useless.” +Nevertheless, she gave me what I can only describe as an “appraising glance”. +I have never felt so appraised in all my life. +“He looks healthy,” +“He looks healthy,” she said, “how about a pint of his blood?” +“how about a pint of his blood?” +We don’t – ” +“A pint? +Madame, I have his health to consider.” +I have his health to consider.” +“Half a pint, then – and his hair.” +“Well, kid, what do you think? +Remember, this is your quest. +I’m not giving my blood.” +“Sure, babe. +“As if I wanted it,” +“I think it’s a fair deal, considering the return,” +“I think it’s a fair deal, considering the return,” he told me, “but it’s up to you.” +“but it’s up to you.” +Come on, I don’t have to get fucked up every time we go out just to enjoy myself. +I thought about it, then nodded. +“Marvelous!” cried the woman. +She took us downstairs to a small room behind a red silk draping. +There was a wooden chair, where she sat me down and asked me to wait. +Soon, she came back with a lidded ceramic bowl, which she put on the table beside me. +“Roll up your sleeves,” +“Roll up your sleeves,” she told me. +She opened the bowl and carefully, gingerly brought out a fat, dripping leech. +It must have been larger than my finger. +She laid it gently inside the hollow of my left arm. +The cold thing stretched and cast around with its sucker-mouth until it found the soft spot inside my elbow, where it softly sucked on and began to work its way under my skin. +I thought that I could feel a slight itching. +Let’s not waste any more time.” +“They take about a quarter-pint each,” said Madame Entera, drawing out another skinny leech. +“They’re quick, too. +We’ll be done with them before your hair is finished.” +Then she clapped her hands and brought in the barber. +Half an hour later, I left the room pale and bald, running my fingers over my scalp. +She stood up and I followed her out to the street. +At least the barber hadn’t nicked me. +Madame Entera took me back up to the stone’s room, where Nepthys was waiting by the door. +“Be careful you don’t let him touch it until you’re ready to use it,” +“Be careful you don’t let him touch it until you’re ready to use it,” the woman admonished Nepthys as she slipped the stone into a grey cloth pouch and handed it to him. +“Thank you for doing business at our house, and I hope to see you again!” +“Come on,” +“Come on,” said Nepthys, “you could use a drink.” +It was dark enough that I could actually see a few stars through the screen of city light. +“you could use a drink.” +We hit a bar on the next street over. +“Vodka, straight up,” +“Vodka, straight up,” Nepthys told the bartender as we sat down at the counter, “and a Bloody Mary for my friend. +“and a Bloody Mary for my friend. +Make it extra bloody.” +When our drinks came, he poured a dollop of something from an inner pocket into my Bloody Mary. +“That should help,” +“That should help,” he said. +“You could run on empty with a little of that stuff. +It won’t refill your blood supply, but while that’s in your system, you won’t even need blood.” +He grinned at me. +I took about half of the Bloody Mary in one gulp and then ate the celery. +“Okay,” +“Okay,” I said, “now that we’re sitting down, can you explain a little more of what’s going on here? +“now that we’re sitting down, can you explain a little more of what’s going on here? +I mean, what is this place, really?” +He thought about that. +Without hearing the car horns, I could almost taste the air of late March through the street fumes. +This place is just a little of both. +In America, things are still weird after the European conquest. +The natives are still here, but so is everyone else. +The Europeans mostly manifest as something like the underground society of your cities. +We aren’t quite what you’d expect from reading the Grimms.” +“What do you mean?” +“Okay, take elves.” +He caught the bartender’s eye for another shot. +“You figure they’re some Lincoln-green pretty boys who run around in the forest with bows and live forever in halls of glory, right? +Not in America. +Here, they’re the snotty rich who show up in clubs because they like the ‘gritty ambience’ – you have them in your world, too, right? +Except it’s worse here because they have centuries to grow disaffected and flirt with exciting and dangerous elements of society’s lowest rungs. +Some of them actually commit to this society, though. +There’s an amazing DJ who’s an elf. +He has a real ear for it. +When they do decide to do something for real, they’re always the best at it.” +If it was March, that meant that we’d been together almost a year and a half. +He downed the second shot. +It’s exhausting to talk to those people. +One wrong word and you find yourself cursed with infinite earwax or something. +So what else do you want to know, Nathan?” +“I don’t know …hey, what about the nature spirits, things like that? +I mean, where do the dryads fit in a place like this?” +That made me a little sad. +They were always my favorite part of the Greek myths I read in elementary school. +“Well, what about you? +“My parents came over from Russia, just like your family. +My real name is a little more ethnically appropriate, but we don’t toss those around in this place. +It was last February, after the winter break, that we moved in together. +They were spirits of a certain branch of the Volga and the village based around a mill on that tributary. +When the Russian government dammed the river, my parents decided that instead of dying with the river, they would stick with the people of the village they’d protected. +I was born here, and I was lucky enough not to get attached to any particular river. +He took another shot of vodka. +“Shouldn’t you be going light on the vodka? +I mean, we might have a lot of work ahead of us.” +“Are you kidding? +I can drink like a fish, kid. +Now spring was back, under the concrete, and I could smell it even here. +We should get going, though. +Still woozy?” +I nodded. +“A little walking should get the stuff into your system. +Come on, let’s go.” +As we left the bar, I asked to see the rock. +“Why?” +Nepthys asked. +“I’m just curious. +I want to see what a magic stone looks like. +Don’t worry, I’ll be careful not to touch it.” +He thought about it, then handed me the pouch. +I undid the strings and let the pouch sit on my palm so that I could see the stone inside. +It looked like a normal river stone, a gray oval with a white stripe through it. +Suddenly, what looked like a little kid darted out of an alley and almost ran into me. +I almost tripped over him, and the stone went flying out of the pouch. +Nepthys tried to grab it, but, by reflex, I caught it first. +“Isn’t it an amazing night, Rache? +Immediately, I felt it grow warm and knew that I had done something very stupid. +“Nathan,” said Nepthys, “I think that you just did something very stupid.” +“I agree,” +“I agree,” I told him. +The stone was as warm as human flesh now, and there was a sort of glow that might have been light or just the stone’s soft heat, I don’t know. +Even the city feels alive when spring comes.” +Then there was light, a kind of rosy glow, and I felt the stone slip out of my hand to float in the air. +The air around me seemed to still sound, and light came in around the corners of my eyes. +“Do you know what this thing does?” +I shouted, hardly able to hear myself. +Nepthys was saying something that looked like, “I have no idea!” +“I have no idea!” +but I couldn’t hear him. +The light in the corners of my eyes rushed in, converging on the rosy glow around the stone, and for a moment I was blind. +“Taxi!” +There was no sign of the stone. +“I think I understand why we got that stone from a slave shop,” +“I think I understand why we got that stone from a slave shop,” said Nepthys. +She waved down a car and pulled me in. +Her arms and legs were wrapped in white linen up to her wrists and ankles, and soft, white leather boots held her feet. +When she didn’t move, I knelt down and put a hand to her brow. +As soon as I touched her, her eyes opened into mine and she grabbed my wrist. +I couldn’t move. +“Name me,” she said. +I opened my mouth to ask for an explanation, but Nepthys stopped me. +“Don’t name her ‘What did you say?’, okay? +‘What did you say?’ +The next thing that comes out of your mouth is probably what she’ll respond to until we figure out how to put her back.” +I was at a loss. +I’d never named anyone before. +I thought back to one time when I’d been thinking about raising a family and remembered that I’d always liked the name – +“Amy.” +Nepthys looked at me incredulously. +“You awaken a magical being of unknown power from an enchanted stone, having purchased her with your own blood from a slave dealer, and you name her ‘Amy’?” +Amy smiled at me and let go of my arm, but not before she brought my fingers to her lips and gave them one soft kiss. +I stood up and Amy stood with me. +“So …back to our garlicky friend?” +“I suppose so,” +“I suppose so,” said Nepthys, “and you’d better pray to whatever god you think will listen that he won’t care we woke her up.” +“and you’d better pray to whatever god you think will listen that he won’t care we woke her up.” +We walked back to the herb stand. +The vendor stared a little at Amy, his arms pausing in midair as he lit the stand’s little lamp, but we walked right around him and up the wooden stairs. +When Nepthys opened the little man’s door, he rolled over and grinned to see us, but when Amy walked in, he blanched. +“What!” +he screamed. +“You idiots! +You woke it up? +“But …but sir,” +“But …but sir,” I said, “are you sure she’s no help to you?” +“are you sure she’s no help to you?” +“Not if you named it already, you ninny, and I’m sure that you have! +I heard the pulse already. +Fools! +Get out of my sight now – unless you know how to put it back? +Now leave, before I call the rats on you.” +We left. +Nepthys shook his hands at me like he wanted to wrap them around my neck. +We slammed against the doorway and I was laughing too, the pulse close enough to shake the doorframe and set up vibrations in my chest, Rachel in my arms because she’d used me to soften her landing. +“do you know how much you’ve set us back? +I thought about Rachel; in the excitement, I had forgotten why we were chasing down vampire experts. +Come on, we’re heading out.” +ome on, we’re heading out.” +He held the door for me and Amy when we reached the bottom of the stairs. +Walking outside, I was shocked to see that it was already dark. +“Night comes quickly here,” +“Didn’t I warn you?” +“Okay,” +“Okay,” he said as we hit the street, “we’re going to see another friend of mine. +“we’re going to see another friend of mine. +First, though, we are getting you a hat. +You look ridiculous with a shaved head.” +At a nearby stand, he grabbed the first hat that would cover my head and might pass back in real Boston. +It was a black baseball cap that read “Dead Can Dance” in gold across the front. +“Dead Can Dance” +Amy liked it, I think. +She still hadn’t spoken since I named her, so I wasn’t sure. +He took us to a squat, long building whose roof bulged up like the ribs of a gutted animal. +The black door opened as we came up to it, and a pale man opened the door. +He was naked, but there was nothing to hide: his body was hairless and completely smooth. +I only say “he” because he didn’t have a hint of femininity. +His eyes were white. +From behind him, I could hear something that sounded like a remix of the Cure’s “A Forest”. +“A Forest” +“I’m here to see Isis. +Tell her that Nepthys is here to see her.” +Nepthys walked straight past him and I tried to keep up, taking Amy’s small hand so that she wouldn’t lag behind. +I shivered as I walked past the pale man’s blank eyes, wondering what they were staring at. +Amy gave my hand a squeeze. +Nepthys lead us down a hallway that matched the building’s façade, a vaulted, ribbed intestine of a hallway, whose black walls looked unsettlingly organic. +We kissed and slipped inside. +Then there was a door, which opened as we approached. +Inside, the space opened into a wide, square chamber mirrored and so dark that it could have been any size. +The old vaulted church was stripped down: there was no cloth on the altar, just a DJ’s toolkit and his beer. +These were incontestably male. +“Nepthys!” +said the woman, slithering up across the furs to sit up. +As she rose, her robes fell open and I realized that, except for what looked like a red silk kimono, she was naked – naked and stunning. +I had an urge to cover Amy’s eyes. +Please, come and sit beside me, and introduce your friends.” +“This man is here in search of his lover, who was stolen from him in the human world,” +“The girl is …surprising,” +“The girl is …surprising,” he concluded. +“And I am Isis,” +“And I am Isis,” said the woman, offering her hand to me. +I took it and, dropping to one knee, gave her fingers a small kiss. +It seemed appropriate. +“It is an honor to meet you, Lady Isis,” +“It is an honor to meet you, Lady Isis,” I said. +She laughed, liquid, alluring, alarming. +“Oh, precious! +He has lovely manners, Nepthys, despite his poor taste in hats. +You may leave out the ‘Lady,’ boy. +I don’t wish to be reminded of how old I actually am.” +A wave to the pale men brought a bottle of red wine and a platter of grapes. +Through the dark, I could see three bolts left in the wall from where they’d taken down the crucifix. +I hope I can start by offering some wine.” +Nepthys poured out wine for three of us. +“May I have a little more of what you gave me before, Nepthys?” +I asked. +“I still feel a little woozy.” +He poured a dollop of the clear liquid into one cup and passed it to me. +The wine’s rich scent had a touch of something chemical that I recognized from the bar, but it filled my mouth and sank into my veins with reassuring warmth. +Isis’ nostrils twitched slightly. +This story might be interesting. +Does it have anything to do with why your head is shaved?” +“It was part of the price for this girl, who was a rock at the time,” +“It was part of the price for this girl, who was a rock at the time,” explained Nepthys. +“I have a feeling that she was worth the trade,” +Amy, still holding my hand, smiled. +“She may be at that,” +“She may be at that,” said Isis, gazing at her. +“That sweet, small nose, and her soft lips – she’d kiss well, I should think, if gently. +A confessional too beaten-up to have been sold was shaking in a way that suggested activity inside, and where the pews had been taken out, a couple hundred people were testifying to the DJ’s moving sermon. +She has good blood under her cheeks. +Amy didn’t blush, and I hoped that she didn’t understand what Isis was saying. +“She would have been worth it,” +“if this fool hadn’t accidentally woken her up before we could give her to our contact. +He was going to give us valuable information for her.” +“Now I understand why you’re here,” +“Now I understand why you’re here,” said Isis. +“You know I wouldn’t come to you if I could get this information another way,” +“You know I wouldn’t come to you if I could get this information another way,” said Nepthys apologetically. +“Mmm,” +I couldn’t tell what the thoughtful look on her face meant. +“I think that the person who stole the girl we’re looking for might be a vampire. +Isis …you know some way to locate the undead, don’t you?” +“I do. +Describe this one to me. +If I know him, I can find him. +If not, you’ll have to bring me something to work with.” +Nepthys looked at me. +Isis set her elbows in the fur and rested her head on her hands while I spoke and tried not to stare at her full, hanging breasts. +When I had told her all that I could remember, she blinked her black lashes and said, “I remember him.” +“You do?” +“That’s amazing!” +I would have sworn to you that he was dead. +He should be. +I hope that you can do a better job than the last lot.” +“All right, then. +Let me see if I can find him.” +Isis closed her eyes and lifted her hands. +A dark glow coalesced around her palms. +Amy leaned forward, looking amazed. +The glow reflected on her pink face, casting a sickly pallor over her heartbeat-strong cheeks. +Tiny drops of blood began to seep out of Isis’ palms as her brow creased. +Her candy lips twisted into a frown. +The dark glow grew stronger and larger, filling the air for about a foot around her hands. +Rachel stepped forward into the crowd while I took a moment to drink in the ceiling’s blue-lit, shadowed vault and the light-catching haze from who-knows-what rising between the DJ and the crowd. +In her palms, the droplets of blood swelled into small pools. +The dark glow began to flicker, and Isis’ frown of concentration became one of worry. +The pools in her hands grew deeper. +Then her fingers tensed and her arms began to shake. +The blood in her palms, still filling up, began to ripple. +Shivers swept through her body, and Nepthys reached out to touch her but I stopped him. +He glanced at me with honest concern, probably the first honest moment he’d shown me: ‘Is she all right?’ +‘Is she all right?’ +Her hands twitched and a drop of blood shook out, splashing on the crease of her thigh and hanging to one strand of the black hair between her legs. +Isis collapsed on the fur, strings cut. +Now Nepthys lunged forward, took her by the arms. +“Isis, what happened? +She shook her head, rubbing her face into the white fur and murmuring something. +“What did you say?” +asked Nepthys. +She rolled onto her back, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. +For the first time, she looked vulnerable. +When she finally spoke, I had to lean close to hear her. +“I found your vampire,” +“I found your vampire,” she said, “but he might know that someone’s looking for him. +“but he might know that someone’s looking for him. He’s taken great pains to keep himself hidden. +He’s taken great pains to keep himself hidden. +You should look for him at Dvorov’s as quickly as you can.” +She turned to me with tired sympathy. +Hurry, though, and you might find him before he leaves.” +A twitch of her fingers summoned her pale servants. +“One of these will lead you out.” +I stood, and one of her servants took me and Amy to the door. +I looked back to see Nepthys whispering something to her. +He stood to go, but she caught his sleeve and pulled him back for a moment. +There was a terrific echo, each beat reverberating inside of the next, and the old stained-glass windows rattled in their frames. +I turned back to the door. +“Come on, Amy,” I said, “he’ll be along soon.” +Nepthys caught up with us after a minute and walked silently to the end of the hall. +When we got there, another pale servant was waiting for us with a box of dark stained wood. +He offered it to Nepthys, who opened the box: on velvet lining, a wooden hammer and two stakes. +“Mountain ash,” +“Mountain ash,” said Nepthys. +“That was very kind of her.” +Closing the box, he paused beside the open door and looked back at me. +“I really hope we find your Rachel,” +“I really hope we find your Rachel,” he said. +“I know a quick way to Dvorov’s,” +“I know a quick way to Dvorov’s,” said Nepthys. +“I bet he’s kicking himself now for not having a way to contact me.” +In a few minutes, we were back to the first door we’d knocked on in this town and Dvorov himself was greeting us. +“Yo, my man Nep! +You got the sucker already?” +“No, but we got a tip that he might be in your club. +Have you seen him?” +“Here, man? +You’re crazy. +“Anyway, long time, man.” +“That’s odd. +On the dance floor, people moved with their eyes closed and their hands in the air. +Do you mind if we check it out anyway? +I have a real feeling that he’s in here somewhere.” +Dvorov glanced over his shoulder, a little nervous. +“I guess, man, but be quick. +We’ll be in and out in a minute.” +“No, he said that his research was purely academic, not for hunters.” +“Bummer. +I guess I probably should’ve known, though. +I mean, he is kinda tight about that stuff.” +“Anyway, this is the dance floor, man. +Good luck.” +Something with too many arms was manning the turntables above the crowd, which looked more impenetrable tonight than ever before. +Then I saw the bar on the other side of the crowd and knew where to start looking. +I danced with Rachel for a while, but then something by the bar seemed to be pulling her eyes. +I tried to slip along the edge of the crowd. +Things with scales and claws kept flailing against me, pressing me into the wall, but I took a breath and kept moving. +My nose filled with a reek of thick sweat. +The music began to build, and a strobe came on. +Somewhere toward the center of the dance floor, I heard a howl that sent bitter winds under my clothing – for a second, I was back with my family in Russia, hiding from the cold. +Then I felt a tug on the back of my shirt and noticed that Amy was following me. +I gathered her under my arm. +Dvorov was somewhere behind me, too, negotiating delicately through his patrons. +Just in front of me, a massive thing slammed into the wall, sending up a cloud of granite dust. +It slumped to the floor and I realized that it was a werewolf. +Its haunches twitched in time to the music. +As it started to rise, a man with thick, scaled skin stretched across rippling muscles leapt on him. +She told me that she was heading for a drink and slipped out of the crowd. +I thought that my odds were better on the dance floor. +Holding Amy in my arms as we ducked between the crush of dancers, I started to wonder if the chances of finding this vampire were even good enough to merit this. +A woman who could have been an elf twitched and jerked beside me, fingers trembling at the torn edges of her clothing. +Then a looming shape to my right fell away, and I saw him in a flash of the strobe, his black eyes staring deadly into the crowd. +The creature blocking my vision moved back, but I had seen all that I needed to see. +A bleeding, eyeless thing shuddered and beat its arms against me, but I ducked around it and toward the bar. +When she hadn’t come back halfway through the next song, I glanced over at the bar. +It was Dvorov. +He pulled my ear down to his mouth. +“You seen enough, man?” +he shouted. +“Yes,” +“Yes,” I called back, “I saw him! +“I saw him! +He’s sitting right there at the bar!” +Dvorov tried to peek through the crowd, but it had shifted again and we couldn’t see a thing. +“I don’t think he’s there,” +“It must have been wishful thinking.” +“No, I saw him! +I have to hurry, too! +Who knows how long he’ll stick around?” +“Listen, man, he’s not there! +I’m telling you, it’s not even worth checking the bar!” +“Don’t do this, kid! +It was just a little set-up where someone had stacked a few crates and brought something alcoholic to share, mostly beer. +It’s a dumb idea. +Even if you did find this vampire cat, he’d tear you apart! +I shook him off and squeezed between two dancing nymphs, getting almost to the edge of the dance floor. +Suddenly, Amy screamed. +I whirled around and threw up my arm just in time to knock Dvorov away. +His eyes were glowing red, and he had bared a set of fangs that could probably take my hand off. +The dancers near us tried to clear some space. +He jumped at my arm while I was still off-balance, and I felt the surge of adrenaline that comes right when your body realizes that it’s too late to save itself. +On the floor was Dvorov’s head, separated from his body by several feet and a growing puddle of dark blood. +Nepthys stood over him with a blue sword in his hand. +It flashed in the strobe where it wasn’t streaked with Dvorov’s blood. +“He wasn’t the only one with a secret or two,” +“He wasn’t the only one with a secret or two,” he said by way of explanation. +“You spotted our boy, didn’t you? +I bet his hide-out is nearby, too. +Let’s hurry.” +Rachel was standing with a plastic cup, looking like she was having a conversation, but I couldn’t see anyone else there. +He wiped off the sword and sheathed it in a scabbard now belted to his hip. +The crowd parted for us. +The vampire glanced up when he saw the crowd split and his eyes flashed when he noticed us. +In a blink of the strobe light, he was on his feet and dashing from the room. +“Come on!” +shouted Nepthys. +We chased after him, Amy keeping up valiantly behind us. +Luckily, the vampire turned off after three stories. +He ran down a hallway and slipped behind one of the doors, but Nepthys was close behind him and left it open for me. +I called out to Amy to shut the door in case the vampire had any friends who might be trying to follow us. +Nepthys urged me on from the back of the room, then made a turn out of sight. +When I came to the door at the end of the room, it looked like it had been torn off its hinges. +I didn’t imagine that Nepthys had done it, and it wasn’t without alarm that I ran after him. +A black hallway opened into a space like a cathedral. +The vault rose into obscurity above me, and a massive rose window stood ahead of me. +The panes looked dyed black, and only a few cold beams slipped through the filter. +Footsteps echoed through the stone chamber, and the sound reflected back to me from everywhere. +When I asked her if she'd ever seen them – before I was old enough to stop believing, I mean – she would always look sad and tell me, "No, not since the family came to America has anything happened to us. +I couldn’t tell how many people were running, much less where they were. +On the steps in front of the altar, I saw pale forms and realized that they were Rachel and two other women. +He stood in front of a blue light, so I couldn’t see him clearly, but what I saw was memorable. +Then I heard Nepthys shout, “Nathan! +“Nathan! +Behind you!” +I whirled and dropped in time to see the vampire shoot over my head, leaping like a panther. +There was Nepthys, on the other side of the pews, holding the wooden box in his hand. +I pulled out the hammer and one of the stakes. +He leapt over the pews, soaring like a grasshopper, and drew a gleaming knife in midair. +I dodged, but he tossed it, and I held the box in front of my face. +The blade lodged in the wood, its silver point penetrating the velvet and nearly reaching my skin. +My arms shook from the force of his throw. +His first move pulled out the dagger, almost wrenching my arms from their sockets as I held on to the box, and the second shattered the box with a crushing punch that sent me reeling backwards. +He wore a jacket of what might have been blue velvet, and his hair gleamed black against his white skin. +I dropped the splinters and the broken second stake and raised my hammer, ready to drive the ash spike into his heart. +Behind him, I saw Nepthys running between the pews. +I braced my legs against the stone floor and he was on me. +I raised the stake; he drew back the dagger for a slash that could doubtless open my neck from throat to spine. +The stake went down, there was a blur, and then my hands were empty and I felt pain under my jaw. +Two points of fire opened in my throat for an instant, then all went numb. +Taste, hearing and touch became a single blur, and I do not know if my eyes were open. +My mind began to dissipate, but then I felt the pain withdraw and a lifeless voice said, “This one’s blood isn’t worth drinking.” +“This one’s blood isn’t worth drinking.” +Hands closed on my neck and I felt my spine crack. +I must have fallen to the floor then. +I could perceive Nepthys’ sword flashing over me, and I heard steel crack, then bone. +The blue haze seemed to stop just shy of his pallor, setting off his striking face without illuminating its details, and his wrists flashed white in the darkness. +I thought I heard Rachel’s voice blearily calling for me. +I was content to let myself drift away, and I had almost forgotten the body lying with broken neck on the cathedral’s hard tiles when I felt a warm touch on its cheek. +A girl’s voice, soft and almost recognizable, spoke, “Nathan.” +“Nathan.” +I felt my head turn and something in my neck reconnected. +Then my eyes opened and Amy handed me the hammer and stake. +I stood and turned toward the altar. +The vampire was walking just steps ahead of me. +I stepped up behind him and raised my hands, which almost seemed to be glowing. +Then the stake came down into his back and one, two, three strikes with the hammer drove it in. +The vampire fell forward and blood began to flow from his mouth. +Behind me, Amy was kneeling beside Nepthys, whose arm and rib cage were knitting back together like a wooden toy that falls apart when its string is released but draws itself together at a slight tug. +I pulled the vial of liquid that he’d been giving me from his pocket and ran to the altar. +Rachel, her clothes torn and her face drawn, looked like she might cry when she saw me. +I pulled her into my arms and she tried to put hers around me. +“My fuckin’ hero,” +“My fuckin’ hero,” she whispered. +She nodded and he took her arm. +I watched them through the crush of dancers as they squeezed along the wall, and the feeling came to me that something was very wrong. +Saturday morning, I woke up and saw that she still hadn’t come home. +I called Mitch and our other friends, hoping that she’d crashed at one of their houses, but I had no luck. +A couple of them remembered seeing her leave, but none of them had seen the thin man with her. +I didn’t know how they could miss such exotic features, even in that distorting light. +Nathan’s Bylichka +I caught a taxi back to the church. +It was still a mess, but everything bigger than a soda can had disappeared. +I walked across what had been the dance floor. +The church was completely different now: sunlight fell through the stained glass, catching dust that still hung in the air and sending a dry, healthy warmth into the edges of the room, through the stone and the powdery concrete that had been covered last night by flesh and flashing lights. +I realized that Rachel had disappeared without leaving a clue and I had no way to do anything but wait for her to show up – which, if she were in a situation where I should be doing something, would probably be never. +Standing in the center of the church, I took out my cell phone and called the police. +“I need to file a missing persons report. +…Rachel Frieze. +Last night, walking on West 2nd street around – maybe eleven or twelve o’clock. +What? +…But, sir, this is an unusual situation. +She didn’t come home last night, none of her friends have seen her. +…Sir, if she’s in any danger, it will probably be too late to help her by that time. +…Yes, sir. +I understand.” +The police wouldn’t file a report for someone who’d been missing overnight. +Walking out of the church, a little gust of cold air caught me by surprise. +A cold front must have hit while I was inside. +Glancing down the street, I realized that I didn’t have a friend to drive me home this time, and it was a long walk back to the streets where taxis ran. +I pulled my T-shirt’s sleeves down my arms as far as they’d go, but I wasn’t ready for cold. +Walking didn’t build up much heat; it just moved the air enough to chill me more. +After I’d walked about a block, a car rolled up behind me. +It slowed down as it neared me and I started to worry. +This wasn’t the best of neighborhoods. +I kept my eyes straight ahead and tried to walk more quickly without showing it. +I heard an automatic window roll down. +“Hey,” said a male voice, “do you need some help?” +I turned around. +The man looked over forty, and he was driving a car I’d be afraid to drive on this street. +“It’s a long way to anywhere worth going,” +he said. +“Would you like some help?” +“Ah, I think I’m fine, thanks,” +“Ah, I think I’m fine, thanks,” I told him, and turned back to the sidewalk. +As I got older, I shook the tales off with a nod and a "Yes, Nana." +“Really, I’d like to help. +Please, hop in. +You don’t look dressed for this weather.” +I glanced back over my shoulder. +“No thanks, sir! +Really, don’t worry about me.” +“Nathan Spencer, I offer you help. +I advise that you not refuse me a third time.” +I stopped and looked back at him, surprised. +He met my eyes coolly. +“How do you know my name?” +“I know your family. +Get in. +We have a lot of work ahead of us, and it’s best to start now.” +"Yes, Nana." +I walked around the car and got into the passenger seat. +Before I had my belt on, we were rolling forward. +“Okay,” +“Okay,” I said. +Now, will you tell me how you know my family, and how you happened to be driving by just now? +I got older and went to school, then to college, and I replaced the dreams my Nana gave me with the music DJs mixed for crowds in clubs, webs of pulse that shook us until we could believe anything. +In fact, why didn’t you call me by name the first time? +And how did you recognize me when – ” +I know your family because an ancestor of mine made a bargain with an ancestor of yours. +I am here now because you called for help, and no-one else would answer.” +He turned onto the next street and shifted up. +Also, international competitors drew on a large supply of very cheap labor. +Jobs were scarce in other steel-exporting countries, and labor laws were either non-existent or allowed employers to pay much less for work. +Labor costs in America continued to go up, draining US companies of their resources, while companies overseas were able to cut labor costs and put that money back into updating and renovating their facilities. +On a worldwide scale, newer materials such as aluminum, plastic, and composites were beginning to substitute steel both at home and abroad. +Steel demand worldwide was beginning to decline, and it affected both domestic and foreign companies. +Since this problem was a national one rather than a local one, the problems that were occurring in Youngstown were not unique. +Youngstown was perhaps hit harder than any other town by the collapse of the steel industry, but it was not alone. +The problem was a national one, involving many more mills and issues than Youngstown’s alone. +J. Philip Richley, a union member and organizer of many attempts to save 5the mills, has summed it up thus: “You just can’t solve a nation-wide problem in a single city.” +“You just can’t solve a nation-wide problem in a single city.” +The decline of the world steel market affected not just Youngstown but the entire steel community in America. +Trying to prop up one city’s mills was impossible when faced with the depression that spread throughout the entire industry. +The Save Our Valley Campaign: Lack of Funds and Plans +As the name suggests, local leaders wanted to instill the people of Youngstown with a fierce sense of urgency, driving them forward to confront steel companies and owners and help secure the future of the region. +The events that would follow this date (known as Black Monday) are seen by the people who witnessed them either as stories of great courage and determination or as monuments to human failure and false hope. +Marches, speeches, and letter writing were all employed to help stimulate the Campaign and rally the people. +But the Campaign was bogged down heavily by the lack of proper funding. +The people of Youngstown, being now unemployed had very little money to spend on anything but staying alive. +College tuition, clothes, food, and heating all had to come before donations to non-profit organizations. +People outside of the area had no personal investment in the mills, and so it was difficult to convince anyone from out of the county to contribute funds. +The lack of money proved to be crippling, because it prevented the organizations involved from purchasing the mills to run collectively. +Without funds, the Save Our Valley Campaign could do nothing major to help salvage the city’s dying economy. +The Save Our Valley Campaign also lacked one essential component: an actual concrete plan. +No one seemed to know just how to go about fixing the problems. +Letters and petitions were all very well, but they did little to improve the situation. +People clung to vague ideas of worker collectivization, but no one could really fathom exactly how that would work; the people of Youngstown were, after all, not particularly familiar with socialism or collectivization in general. +Beyond that, no one knew how they should proceed: everyone knew that saving the mills was important, but nobody stepped forward with a full-fledged plan to do it without losing huge amounts of money and dragging even more people down. +Without funds to drive the efforts, or even a real plan of action, the Save Our Valley Campaign did more harm than good. +In effect, it raised the hopes of workers without having any real chance at saving anything. +People became excited and waited for the mills to reappear, but they never did. +The Campaign failed to save any jobs and Youngstown was plunged into economic chaos. +The Apathy of USWA +Initially many assumed that their union would take a lead role in fighting for the recovery of their jobs. +However, it soon became clear that although the local union leaders were prepared to fight, the international branch was not. +The higher levels of the union became increasingly disassociated with Youngstown and its plight, attempting to shut out the appeals from workers and local union representatives and to ignore what was really happening. +Actually, one main reason for the behavior of the USWA was that union leaders really had no idea what to do. +No one had ever seen a shutdown of this magnitude and rapidity before, and none of the leaders of USWA, not even president Lynn Williams, knew what could be done. +It was clear to everyone that the economic fallout from this series of closings would be one of the worst in US history, and so without any real precedents the union leaders were flustered. +Rather than try and come up with some sort of scenario, the USWA simply ignored what was going on in Youngstown, hoping that perhaps the problem would resolve itself, or at least not spread any further than it already had. +Besides incompetence, the USWA had one other major reason for rejecting their local counterpart: fear of socialism. +Obviously the union itself was not afraid of socialist action, but they worried that the federal government might see the efforts of Youngstown workers to collectivize as a movement towards socialism and perhaps even communism. +If the USWA supported the efforts to revive the mills and encouraged worker control and ownership of the factories, then the government (and potentially other important people and institutions as well) might begin to think that the UWSA leaders were encouraging socialism. +This would mean that UWSA would lose credibility with the American government and its people, something they could not afford to do. +Regionalism +From its very first days the Mahoning Valley has been an area packed with small villages and hamlets. +Petitions, protests, rallies, collectivization, and even the takeover of a steel company’s headquarters were all attempted in a desperate movement by those in the industry to preserve the only source of employment that this town had. +Boardman, Poland Township, Struthers, Lowellville, Warren, Lordstown, Canfield, Niles, and many other towns and districts are crowded around Youngstown (see Figure 3). +However, although traffic is heavy between each separate district, each area has its own distinct cultural ethnicity, educational system, heritage, history, and even food. +For example, Struthers is a poor town with a large Slovak population, where education is generally better than in surrounding towns, but unemployment is much higher and pollution is widespread. +Most people in Struthers are either Orthodox or Baptist. +Two blocks over one finds Boardman, a well-off township with a reputation for rich but unsuccessful schools. +Its residents are mainly Italian and Roman Catholic, with a small concentration of Methodists on the east side. +Unemployment is low in comparison with surrounding towns, and the streets are clean and well kept. +With many more cultures, religions, and economic levels living in close proximity to one another, a curious phenomenon has overtaken the area: regionalism. +Each town, with their own identity, instills a strong regionalistic feeling within their respective populations, which dictates many habits, exchanges, and interactions between populations. +Workers from Poland Township would refuse to attend rallies with workers from Campbell, and citizens of Struthers would become suspicious of people from Boardman, even if they were supposed to be working towards the same thing. +A lack of cooperation became a crippling problem for the movement, because no one was willing to put aside regional differences to work together. +In some instances, small companies would express interest in helping the movement or in relocating their business in the area, but because of regional pride no one could ever agree where the new businesses should relocate. +In this way the people of the Mahoning Valley missed many opportunities for new industrial or commercial lifeblood because of arbitrary arguments where the goal was simply to protect regional pride. +These well-intentioned efforts ultimately failed, leaving thousands with shattered dreams and a distinct lack of trust in fellow humankind. +Conclusion: The Aftershock and the Significance of Black Monday +Black Monday was a devastating blow to an entire generation of people. +The efforts to avoid catastrophe after the fact were unsuccessful for four main reasons: the failure of the international steel market, the lack of funds and plans in initiatives such as the Save Our Valley Campaign, the refusal of the USWA to support their local chapter out of ineptitude and fear, and the absurd but very real regionalism which corrupted solidarity efforts and drove away any hope for brining in new companies. +What happened in Youngstown may not seem significant on an international or even on a national level, and perhaps it is not. +But to the thousands of people living there, the loss of the mills was a devastating event that sent shock waves through their economic, political, and social futures. +Because of the mills and their conspicuous absence, hundreds of people were uprooted, forced to leave their homes and tightly knit communities. +For the people of Youngstown, Black Monday was not just a historical event- it was the most important event in their lives. +Even though they eventually failed, the fact that they tried to preserve what they felt belonged to them is an amazing example of how far people will go to save their lives and the futures of their children. +But why did the brave attempts by union leaders and concerned citizens to revive the steel industry ultimately fail? +An Extended Essay in History +Most importantly, the problem in Youngstown was a nationwide problem. +Although it affected Youngstown and the surrounding area more than it affected other regions, the local people simply could not solve a national crisis on a local level. +A Brief History of Steel in Northeastern Ohio +In 1802 James and Daniel Heaton discovered ore and coal lining Yellow Creek in an area outside of Youngstown known as Poland Township. +Their blast furnace, “Hopewell,” was the very first blast furnace in the area. +During the Civil War, Youngstown played a vital role in supplying the Union army with iron products. +Youngstown also was a major railway crossroads, due to its strategic position between Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York, and Chicago. +The Decline of the Northeastern Ohio Steel Market: Why Did Attempts by Union Leaders and Concerned Citizens to Revive the Steel Industry Ultimately Fail? +During the 19th century, the center of iron manufacturing had gradually shifted from the far East Coast (Massachusetts and Eastern Pennsylvania) to the Ohio Valley Pittsburgh regions of the Northeast, including the Mahoning Valley and the Hanging Rock region of Ohio and Kentucky. +By 1880, Youngstown’s population had grown to nearly 16,000, which meant it had doubled in size over a twenty-year period. +The town continued to prosper, driven by the flux of immigrants pouring in with the hopes of employment at the mills. +This prosperity continued until the late 1920s, when the Great Depression hit the area hard. +Despite the Congress of Industrial Organization’s successful efforts to establish a national steel workers’ union, the industry barely survived the Depression years. +Strikes racked the town during the forties, fifties, and sixties, and they were often long and bloody. +In 1973, the Experimental Negotiating Agreement was signed. +This prohibited strikes and lockout, angering workers and driving productivity and laborer morale down. +At the same time, stricter governmental standards for environmental protection and the growth of imported steel were making it harder to produce and market American steel parts, and the overeager shareholders in the companies’ stock were pushing for more and more of their share of the pie. +Most importantly, Youngstown’s steel mills were slowly becoming less efficient and more expensive. +September 19, 1977 is a date that few people in Youngstown, Ohio will ever forget. +Old technology was not replaced, obsolete methods were not updated, and almost none of the industry’s profits were being utilized to help modernize. +Black Monday and the Crash of the Steel Industry +The announcement of the closing of the mills in 1977 was the beginning of a downward spiral, which would send the entire valley into chaos and ruin. +Between 1977 and 1981, a total of five mills were closed and approximately 25,000 jobs were lost countywide. +Meetings of union officials and mill bosses were hurriedly set up in an attempt to persuade the powers that be to reconsider their statement. +However, it was clear that, in the words of USWA president Lloyd McBride, “If you can’t make a buck, you get out of the business.” +On that date Jennings Lambeth, president of Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, announced that most of the steel company’s Campbell Works would close. +“If you can’t make a buck, you get out of the business.” +The closings meant the end of Youngstown’s only real industry, the end of its population growth, and then end of economic progress. +Without the mills, people sought other places of employment in adjoining states or even other areas of the country. +Those that could afford to move did so; those that couldn’t afford to move mostly ended up on the streets. +Without an industrial or a residential base, commerce shrank considerably. +It was becoming increasingly clear that without the industrial base provided by the mills, the city of Youngstown would soon become a ghost town, inhabited by those too poor or hopeful to escape. +The workers decided they needed to do something to save their city, and so they mobilized in a variety of ways. +Attempts to Save the Mills +The very first thing that the workers could do was “to get up a petition to stop the shutdown,” says Ed Mann, a local union leader and organizer. +The petition was circulated, eventually including thousands of signatures; it was then given to USWA representatives to present to President Carter in Washington. +However, the representatives were shunted to the side and ignored in Washington, since Youngstown’s political influence had died with its industry. +The International chapter of the USWA had much more lobbying power, but they refused to support the local union members. +The petition was lost among paperwork and bureaucratic procedure. +Next, workers decided to form the Ecumenical Coalition, an organization of local religious groups which spearheaded the attempt to reopen the Youngstown works. +The Coalition drafter letters to the Lykes Company asking if a group of workers might purchase the mill and run it collectively. +Although for other cities this would simply be a minor economic setback, for the people of Youngstown and the surrounding area, it meant disaster. +Lykes ignored the letters, so the Coalition turned once again to the federal government. +Here, too, they were ignored. +The Coalition had no proper funds to buy the mills, so they could do nothing but sit back and watch as the mills closed. +Finally, following the shutdown of US Steel’s plant in 1980, local union leaders congregated outside the US Steel Headquarters in Youngstown. +They invited local people and politicians to witness the scene, then charged the Headquarters and took it over. +The workers stayed there until the next day, when US Steel declared that they were ready to talk about selling the mill. +Immediately after the workers left the building, US steel representatives told the local union leaders that they had changed their minds and were no longer interested in allowing the workers to purchase the mill. +All these efforts eventually came to nothing, and Youngstown’s steel mills remained closed. +These attempts to save the mills were hindered by several major factors, including the decline of the world steel market, which made American steel impossible to sell or export. +The efforts to save the mills failed partly because the international market for steel had largely dried up. +In fact, American steel imports were beginning to outweigh exports. +Foreign steel was easier and more efficient to make, and was often of higher quality than domestic steel. +Mahoning County was a one-industry area, and the people of Youngstown, Struthers, Campbell, Boardman Township, and the numerous other small towns and villages in the area only had one main employer: the steel mills. +Foreign steel companies invested in their factories, updating their technology and replacing their equipment often. +This meant that foreign facilities were more modern and efficient than any plants in America, and therefore were able to export a more competitive product. +Foreign steel was also much cheaper. +You can mix them with a 30/30/40 mix of potting soil, worm casings and clay. +Or you

they are worth publishing." +Allan sat down at his desk and pulled the chair in close. +"If you never finish such stories, how can they be worth publishing?" +"That is precisely why I must excise this malignant instinct!" +"Why do you write?" +"…Why – to earn a living, I suppose. +Why do you ask?" +"You choose to write rather than become a fisherman or a carpenter, though you face such difficulty. +I would not be happy, thus separated from it." +"So at its heart, then, your writing – as opposed to working otherwise – is for yourself?" +"Yes, I suppose one could see it thus. +But really, Nathan, your queer habits of conversation have reached a new level." +Ignoring the statement, Nathan continued. +"Your writing is for you, Allan, not for the publishers or some imagined audience. +Since you seem unable to write 'normally,' why not embrace your tales as they are, leave behind the one unhappiness in the art you admit is a source of pleasure? +Your stories strike a chord with the deepest, most ancient stories of mankind, the tales basic to humanity. +Tell them, and they will create an audience. +You need not pander to what you imagine their wants are; speak, and they shall listen." +Allan crouched over his desk once more, pen in hand and mind blank. +He contemplated a story, an outline he had laboriously constructed some time ago. +He had filled his pen and raised it, the nib descending towards the paper, before the sound came: the gentle, persistent tapping of the gnarled, primeval willow touching the window with long, insistent fingers. +His eyes awoke with a passionate, determined flame, though the only light came from the glutted moon. +Allan filled page after page, the words escaping from his mind onto the paper. +Where before they had marched in regiments, practiced in ranks and followed their leaders' commands, the words now escaped in their true forms, unhindered by any stricture. +He continued long into the night, until the eldritch orb had sunk into the waiting hands of the willow, raised perpetually skyward. +Arthur looked up from the results of a night’s frenzied labors and looked Allan in the eye. +"What is this?" +he queried, indicating the pages he held in his left hand. +"I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely," +"I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely," Allan replied, somewhat less self-assured than he had been the previous night. +Although the concept was a simple one, Allan thought it had potential. +"What in G-d's name could have possessed you to do such a thing," +"What in G-d's name could have possessed you to do such a thing," cried Arthur, nearly raising his voice. +"After all I said the day before, why have you abandoned centuries of literary progress for some self-indulgent fantasy?" +He shook the papers at Allan, raising them like a belt above the head of a disobedient son. +"This is nothing but a glorified Grimm's tale, a miscarried child of Stoker, a creation less fit to be published than to be told around an open fire at the hovel of some peasant!" +He spoke the last word with such heavy intonation that Allan shrank back before the physical wave of sound emanating from Arthur's throat. +Besides, the public liked a good, simple romance. +"Do you hate the modern system of literature? +Do you personally despise the works the Enlightenment or the progress made since Shakespeare? +Do you personally despise the works the Enlightenment or the progress made since Shakespeare??" +?" +For a moment, Allan could hardly do more than shake his head. +"Then why," +"Then why," Arthur barreled on, "do you disregard them all and return to this superstitious babble, this morbid, paganistic drivel? +"do you disregard them all and return to this superstitious babble, this morbid, paganistic drivel? +Why do you disregard my warnings, my careful advice given in the best of friendship and designed only to save you from sinking into this very type of corruption, this literary debauchery?" +"Could you write decent tales with that willow at your window?" +"Its twigs rap constantly against the wall, the wind always demanding my attention. +How could any writer accommodate the edicts of popular literature with the very forces of nature knocking upon his door?" +Arthur looked down his nose at the distraught author, viewing his complaint with pure disdain scantily concealed by the veneer of politeness that animated the construct that was Arthur Mason. +A tree forced you to write this, my dear Mr. Clemm? +They gazed at each other, lost in the rapture of love based so deeply within their hearts that they had never seen it before. +"You don't know what this is like," +"You don't know what this is like," said Allan, shaking his head. +"Nathan would understand completely." +Even as he said it, Allan prayed that his statement was true. +"Very well," +"Very well," said Arthur; "then take your story to that hedonist and let him defend you when no civilized publisher will approach you. +"then take your story to that hedonist and let him defend you when no civilized publisher will approach you. +If you insist on abandoning me, I shall not hold you." +Stunned, Allan slowly gathered up the pages and placed them in order. +He then turned and left through the door opposite that Arthur had taken, making his way past his host's doorman without assistance and setting off on foot towards Nathan's residence, several miles away. +Nathan read the package of words in silence, his only motions the steady progress of his eyes and occasional replacement of pages. +Allan sat nervously across from him in a chair Nathan had probably upholstered himself, a patchwork design of fabric containing easily more stuffing than any other furniture item of the period. +At long last, Nathan reached the end and set down his reading on the table between them. +Opening a side drawer, he took out a piece of paper and his inkpot. +Allan leaned forward unconsciously. +"What about Roger?" +"So," +"So," he asked, "you don't think it's a waste of ink and paper, a futile expedition into morbidity or literary debauchery?" +she asked, knowing that the answer no longer mattered. +"you don't think it's a waste of ink and paper, a futile expedition into morbidity or literary debauchery?" +"Heavens, no," said Nathan, aghast. +"This is one of the strongest works I've read in ages. +It speaks to the deepest storyteller's instinct within us all, yet is entirely original. +Oh, they may rail against you at first; they may decry you as a heathen or a literary savage; but while those in power say such things, others will read your tales and see their true worth. +Believe me when I say that you will be read a century from now." +Allan, though dubious as to that possibility, felt some temptation from the compliment; mainly, it granted him the encouragement he still needed. +Nathan promised to show the story to a printer he knew and Allan left it with him, then walked home under the spreading maples with a smile lingering on his face. +This is good, he thought, pausing to raise the low light of the lantern. +He felt now that perhaps Nathan was right; although the man was somewhat peculiar, he had both an unimpeachable honesty and a certain propensity for insight. +Certainly, it was undeniable that the stories had an originality to them. +His mind's strangest fruit had ripened at last, and he found the taste less bitter than expected. +These thoughts and others like them filled his head as he walked the long road home. +It was evening, and the sky burned orange in the west when he neared home at last. +Passionate, fiery colors filled the western sky before him, though the sun itself had reached the trees and a few dark clouds circled overhead. +I'm almost done, and the happy ending is just falling into place. +As Allan drew closer, he distinguished a new cloud, a pillar rising directly ahead; a road of smoke ascended in the west, its source hidden by the very hillock that concealed his house from the traveler until one had nearly reached its door. +Allan's thoughts fled as one, scattering on the breeze that scattered the warning plume. +Arthur paused in the door, looking up at Allan for a moment; then he turned and shut the door behind him. +I hardly dare to think it, but – I may finish this story! +The driver snapped the reins and set the horses on. +The heavy curtains had been drawn across its windows. +He watched as the carriage drew still more distant, the horses' hooves still kicking up dust along the roadway. +When they had gone, he remained, stunned, until the scent of woodsmoke recalled him to himself. +He turned to regard the pillar still rising behind his house and ran to see what had been done. +A mass of flaming wood stood before him, heat singeing him and sparks flying too close to his house. +As he thought this, a sinuous wind encircled the house, slipping through the walls to chill him. +It was a moment before he realized what else had changed: near the wall, beneath his window, was a stump with black and ancient bark. +In a thoughtless panic, Allan flew to the stream that ran by his house and began frantically throwing handfuls of water onto the pyre. +His thoughts were not of the act's futility, nor even of the nights spent tormented by the twisted thing; instead, all that filled his mind was the tree's constant presence in his life, growing with him and beside him, its persistent reminders that he had higher, truer things to write, the simple beauty of the great black tree for its own sake. +His handfuls could do nothing to quench the hewn, burning logs, but when the night sky grew dark above him and the fire dwindled to black ashes, tears threatened to spill forth and extinguish the final embers. +But he did not weep. +Instead, he bethought himself of the loss of the tree; considered also Arthur's motivation and whether some good might not come of this, after all. +The papers and the lantern's flame trembled as the thin fingers of a great black willow rapped gently on Allan's window and wall like a stranger knocking on his chamber door. +Leaving the circle of ashes, he stood and turned towards the woods, in which it was his habit to walk when in a pensive mood. +He stepped slowly beneath the branches, a gust of wind stirring up the ashes behind him in a great, swirling eddy, a burning brand that rose up and dispersed on the winds as though it were the willow's last breath. +Allan wandered beneath the trees for a time, thoughts drifting through his mind like great banks of fog, strangely beautiful but impossible to penetrate. +He considered Arthur's intervention; considered that it might be better to accept the fog and continue as his lifelong friend had suggested, to write stories that others would read; for after all, what purpose writing if not to be read? +And without that torturous willow, he might be free to write whatever he saw fit. +Indeed, if he still could not, he could at any time follow Arthur's advice and seek a profession more grounded in reality. +He found himself along the bank of a low, wide stream and allowed himself to follow its current. +As it turned to the deeper woods, elder giants rose above him: a beech, smooth bark a gray-green pennant hoisted on a slope and standing out between the dark, cracked trunks of the nearer trees; great pines, a few magnificent specimens still bearing the three-stroke symbol of the British King; a towering black birch, leaves impossibly high above him. +As the stream wound its way through the largest pines, grown so great as to eclipse that feature of the landscape they had once crowded about for sweet water as saplings, Allan continued, slowing his pace to climb across the toes of the slumbering giants. +This was no stranger, however; the twisted, ancient thing was older than Allan, its branches rapping on his window since his childhood. +Before him, roots imbibing the sweet water of the stream, grew a stand of black willows. +Fallen trunks lay rotting across the rivulet; the living elders oversaw the grove while younger trees, still small and not yet as knotted and gnarled as their forefathers, sprang up where branches reached the ground. +Though the elders' trunks fell and died, their children, first roots grown from the very branches that now lay dead, continued unabated, a continuous line from the most ancient of their ancestors. +Allan stumbled forward, jaw slightly slack, until his outstretched hands encountered the rough bark of a twisted, three-trunked willow whose waists were each larger than Allan himself. +After filling his pen, Allan looked at his paper in the orange glow from the lantern set back in the desk's right-hand corner. +Collapsing at its base, Allan wrapped his arms around the stoic tree and let forth a moan, a cry of purest agony that escaped him as the first tears seeped from the corners of his eyes and slid down his cheeks, falling to the ground and seeping though the fallen leaves and needles to join the water of the stream, flowing through the ground beneath them. +Its thin, drawn fingers framed the bloated moon, whose eerie radiation now bathed the room directly. +The great, jaundiced eye stared down unblinkingly at the author, who gazed up through his window's tiny frame with trepidation. +Allan recalled himself and focused once more on the incomplete page before him. +His pen flickered forth, words dancing out from its nib. +For while the lantern's spark shivered in the chill breeze, this burn was steady and true as the motion of its owner's pen, scratching out the rhythm of the willow's fingers. +The frenzied writing ceased at last, the author leaned back with a slight sigh as if both exhausted and satisfied by his effort. +He held a hand to his forehead, eyes closed and face flushed. +After all that – so near the end, to lose control again. +His breath returning to its normal rhythms, he dared to look at the page before him. +His face soft as if caught between a smile and tears, he draped his loose cape over her shoulders. +"Come, darling," +"Where I am to take you, one need never think of those left behind." +His pen cast a forbidding line of shadow slanting across the page, echoing the inky darkness crouching in the edges of the lantern's struggling glow. +They took their seats within the car and his driver set the horses trotting. +For a few yards, they kicked up dust along the roadway; then they raised their hooves and took to the air. +She gaped, afraid but knowing that no harm would come to her by his hand. +Above them, the Milky Way drew near as if the stars themselves could be reached. +A magnificent glow infused the carriage as they merged with the sky's glory. +Allan crushed the page in his hand and hurled it at the window. +"Damn you," +"Damn you," he cried, "will you never leave me be? +Shall I never finish a story in peace?" +He pounded his desk in vain, cursing the foul muse that drove him. +"Cucumber sandwich?" +Allan took a sandwich between his fingers. +The only other illumination came from a lurid moonlight filtered through thin branches and clouds, casting its bone-pale glow onto the pine floorboards. +In a manner delicately balanced between somber and genial, he refilled their glasses. +"How is the writing these days, my dear Mr. Clemm?" +"Perfectly dreadful, my dear Mr. Mason," +"Perfectly dreadful, my dear Mr. Mason," Allan sighed. +"I had a perfect story in my pages; my hero returned home and reclaimed his love, I nearly had it tied together before…" +"Before?" +Arthur's face assumed a long-suffering aspect of authoritative exasperation. +"I'm not familiar with Mr. Poe's works, but I assume you're referring to your unhealthy penchant for the fantastic." +"It's far from a 'penchant,' Arthur. +This is more like a compulsion, a beast that lies waiting in the dark for the perfect moment, then leaps and takes ahold of me, screaming out through my quill." +"How perfectly awful." +The Black Willow +"I'm sure you know that you must curb this behavior if you wish to produce any writing fit for public consumption." +"I know," Allan replied, "but how am I to do that? +You know I do not wish to make my stories thus; but it is my nemesis, confronting me anew at every turn!" +Arthur raised a critical brow. +Every action you take to deny it nourishment will bring you closer to your goal; and believe me, Allan, you must take every opportunity to quash this uncivilized obsession if you intend to publish. +Allan unfolded another page, this one crowded with ranks of letters in tight formation from left to right. +There simply is no audience for fairy tales – no literate audience, at least." +"It is true," +"It is true," Allan admitted, fidgeting with his cufflinks, "that I would not dream of submitting one of these corruptions of literature to any publisher. +My prodigal ink-blooded children simply lose their vitality when forced along the proper road." +"If only you would restrain this morbid impulse of yours, you might write something really worth reading. +It's hard enough listening to your wild speech without seeing it appear in the refined world of print, like a surly foreigner among a genteel crowd." +Allan hung his head, holding his wine with both hands between his arched knees. +His hair was slightly unkempt after his sleepless night, and his clothing had a rumpled look as if, by mere proximity, it had taken on the aspect of his weariness. +The lines of letters stepped into their divisions, in the shape of a story's outline: the loose, dry skeleton of a tale lay exposed beneath their feet, awaiting tendons, muscle and blushing skin. +He scratched the back of his dark-haloed head and blinked bleary eyes. +"I would drive it out," +"I would drive it out," he said softly, "but I fear for what would remain." +"but I fear for what would remain." +"Perhaps you require a rest from writing," +"Perhaps you require a rest from writing," suggested Arthur. +"You might find that some time in an honest occupation would ground you somewhat, improve your disposition." +"Perhaps it would," +"I shall consider it; in the meantime, however, I must be off. +You have been a gracious host, as always." +Arthur rose and shook his hand. +"So dear a friend is always welcome to my counsel and my home," +"So dear a friend is always welcome to my counsel and my home," he said. +"I hope soon to see you in better sorts." +They parted and Allan made his way pensively from Arthur's gate. +He walked the wheel-ruts, hands in his pockets and unshined shoes collecting dust. +Some quarter-mile from Arthur's gate, he halted, confronted by a halloo. +"Nathan?" +he called out to the empty road. +The reply came from above him and Allan turned to see his friend reclining in the fork of a great tree. +"I had a hunch you'd be at Arthur's today," +"I had a hunch you'd be at Arthur's today," said Nathan, "so I thought I'd wait here for you." +"so I thought I'd wait here for you." +Nathan's lanky frame, dressed in a loose, tan jacket, fit into the branch like an elegant skeleton. +His hair fell loosely across a face that seemed always to have a knowing smirk hidden just beneath its surface, infusing his body with a rakish energy. +"So, Allan," said Nathan, unfolding and lowering his legs to the roadside, "how goes life for the quintessential American author?" +"how goes life for the quintessential American author?" +"I wouldn't know," +"I wouldn't know," replied Allan dryly, before continuing in another tone entirely. +"I destroyed another story last night, Nathan." +Leaning against his tree, Nathan shook his head. +Ended! +Never again shall it see the rosy-fingered dawn! +Nathan, you've read these abominations of mine. +You know just as well as I that they have no future, no potential. +Allan reviewed the troops, all prepared to disembark, their task to form the tale of a young man returning home from Life Abroad to find his childhood friend a bride to-be, thus upsetting the apple cart of his life's plan, clarified – of course – by his very time away from her he loved best. +At best, they are faery tales; at worst, expeditions into macabre realms no healthy mind need ever see." +"So instead, you would write – what?" +"Something saleable; something worth reading, worth writing! +On a sunny Sunday afternoon, the waiting list was an hour long. +After hemming and hawing and assessing my food stash (contents: 10 saltines), I decided to go for it anyway. +By the time I got to Asheville, I was nearing the end of my journey and the bottom of my wallet. +By the time I finally got a seat at the counter, I was starved. +It took me about thirty seconds to pick out the Charleston Chicken Sandwich: "grilled marinated free-range chicken breast on sourdough with melted havarti, romaine lettuce and cranberry mayonnaise". +Free range? +Cranberry? +Havarti? +Yes, I could dig it. +While I waited for the food, I checked out the back of the store where Tupelo Honey Cafe hawks their homestyle wares: preserves, pickles, salsa, honey, t-shirts, aprons and all sorts of mini-advertisements for the restaurant. +I've visited plenty of farm-to-fork restaurants, and this one may be the best I've seen at self-marketing. +There's nothing wrong with it: the food in those jars is probably delicious, though I question whether the $10 tupelo honey had to come from Florida or if it's produced locally. +Either way, it's nice to see a restaurant built on ethics that also happens to be incredibly busy. +Some of that is surely due to good marketing, but the real reason for its popularity is this: +That sandwich was so good, I found myself eating slower and slower with each bite to savor it more completely. +The potatoes were light and un-greasy; the flavors were perfectly balanced; the chicken was juicy and rich; and let's be honest here, I'm always happier eating dead animals when I know they've lived a good life. +I found myself silently thanking the chicken for its delicious contribution. +I will never forget you. +I stopped eating halfway through, not because I was full. +I stopped so I could take the rest home and taste it again later. +On another topic, I made a discovery there in the Tupelo Honey Cafe, one which I'd like to share with you now. +If you're going to a busy restaurant and want great service, bring a camera. +Take a few photos of the menu, the kitchen, the food. +No sooner had I taken the above photo, when a server (not even my server) appeared at my elbow. +But. +Now, I'm not saying the service before my camera-flash was bad, because it was awesome. +When I'd posted on Facebook that I was coming to town, no fewer than three people told me I just had to visit the Tupelo Honey Cafe . +But wow, it sure improved once I appeared to be some sort of food critic or travel writer. +Which, it just so happens, I am. +But even if you're not, try this out sometime. +I can't guarantee it'll work, but I personally will do it againand probably back it up with a stellar review, just like the one I've given the Tupelo Honey Cafe. +Everybody wins. +Okay, that's it! +I could talk about Asheville for weeks, but it's time to move on. +Next stop: sunny Tennessee, where I get down on The Farm. +So I checked their website, and instantly fell in love: +Noshin' at the Tupelo Honey Cafe | Plus, how to get great service in busy restaurants 23 Mar., 2010 +"Tupelo Honey Café opened in downtown Asheville in 2000, an early pioneer in the farm to fork movement and an active advocate for the independent restaurant landscape that pervades the city. +"Tupelo Honey Café opened in downtown Asheville in 2000, an early pioneer in the farm to fork movement and an active advocate for the independent restaurant landscape that pervades the city.

Sep, 2010 at 7:52 am +You know they could. It would be even better for the system. +This would also, make it more profitable. +The horses. +would be heathier. +They wouldn't have to be standing on the acidic sand all of the time. +The straw/hay could also be a form of supplemental food, for livestock/horses, which has been used in before times. +The straw, should be separated from the manure and dried in the air, then buised, by hooves. +Then it is more ready, to be mixed with the soil, in the spring. +To wit: in 2009, David helped launch the Truro Ag Fair -- an event that exceeded all expectations and brought huge crowds to local farmers' booths. +And he manages the First Light Organic Farm, a lush green spot in a hollow of North Truro. +Here, David and his partner Arthur Teubner work year-round growing heirloom and hardy fruits and veggies to sell at market. +This is part 4 of a 4-part series on tourism's impact on Cape Cod. +Kitchen Equipment. +Woks and any other gadgets essential for Chinese cookery make good purchases. +Department stores sell all sorts of intriguing kitchen equipment. +Leather Goods. +Large shops on the fashionable thoroughfares tend to be more expensive than smaller “family” shops tucked away in the side streets. +Locally made items do not live up to their European models. +However, the leather garment industry is growing, and there is a wide range of locally produced leather accessories, all at extremely attractive prices. +For European imports, you will pay top dollar. +Musical, Audio, and Video Equipment. +While it’s no longer the bargain shopping destination it once was, there are still some good buys to be had. +Before purchasing, visitors should make sure of compatibility with systems in their own countries. +Be sure to look around and compare before buying. +Whatever you buy, you may be able to work out a discount. +Ready-to-wear Clothes. +Hong Kong’s shops carry almost every recognizable European and many American labels, from top-end designers to the moderately priced or trendy. +Nathan Road, Central, and the hotel malls are places to look. +You’ll also find bargain clothes for sale at the markets and on push-carts. +Tailoring. +Tailor-made clothes are not as popular in Hong Kong as they were in the past, but hundreds of shops still remain. +Local tailors are experts when it comes to producing custom-tailored garments for both men and women, and are also adept at copying patterns. +In choosing a tailor, look for HKTA membership. +Stores do not open until 10am or later, but shopping goes on into the evening, up to 9:30pm. +Many tailors have Web sites or are listed on Web sites. +Shops all over town will sell you gift tins of exotic blends. +If you want to learn something about tea, go to the Tea Shop at 149 Hollywood Road, or the Moon Garden Tea House at 5 Hoi Ping Road, Causeway Bay. +The owners will brew up a pot so you can taste before making a choice. +Watches. +The saying “Time is money” is quite literally true in Hong Kong: more is spent on watches and clocks here than on cameras and optical goods. +An enormous variety of makes and models are on sale. +Entertainment +Day and night, the action goes on in this vibrant city. +Most shops are open seven days a week. +Hong Kong Diary published weekly by HKTA tells what’s happening in the arts. +Culture buffs are well catered to, and there is always a varied program of events, ranging from world-class concerts to local amateur dramatic productions. +A highlight of the arts calendar is the annual Hong Kong Arts Festival, a three-week dose of international culture in February, with concerts, recitals, plays, jazz, Chinese opera, and innovative productions put on by leading talent from both East and West. +Shops in Central are an exception; they generally close at 6pm and are not open on Sunday. +Tickets for the shows must be reserved well in advance. +There are more than 30 cinemas in Hong Kong, and the latest Western releases are shown in some of the larger ones. +English-language films have Chinese subtitles. +The Hong Kong International Film Festival takes place in April. +More than 200 films from all over the world are shown at this two-week event. +The only holiday on which all commerce comes to a halt is the Chinese New Year in January or February. +Ask at City Hall center about advance reservations. +The Performing Arts +Performance Venues. +The theaters in the Hong Kong Cultural Center in Tsim Sha Tsui are the main venues for concerts and opera. +Other performance centers are the City Hall cultural complex, with exhibition halls and theaters that present concerts, plays, and films; the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts with two major theaters for dance, drama, and concert performances; and the Hong Kong Arts Centre in Wan Chai, where both local and visiting groups perform. +Other centers for concerts, plays, and entertainment are Sha Tin Town Hall and Tsuen Wan Town Hall in the New Territories. +Larger arenas, including the Queen Elizabeth Stadium, the Hong Kong Coliseum, and the Ko Shan Theater in Kowloon play host to various concerts, pop concerts, sporting events, and variety shows. +Classical Music. +The Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra performs new and traditional works; a wide assortment of traditional and Chinese instruments are featured. +The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1975. +Buyer Beware. +Under its conductor, David Atherton, it offers Western classical works and new works by Chinese composers in a September-to-June season. +Be aware that name brands, including electronics, are sometimes fakes, glass may be sold as jade, and that antique you bought may have been made last night. +Cantonese opera is alive and well in Hong Kong, and the two other forms, Beijing and Kun, are sometimes presented. +To most foreigners, this unique art form is likely to be inscrutable at first exposure, but everyone can appreciate the spectacle and the elaborate, glittering costumes. +Although the music may seem strange to the unaccustomed ear, it certainly won’t put you to sleep; cymbals and drums guarantee your alertness. +Dance. +Theater. +The two leading local troupes, the Chung Ying Theatre Company and the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, perform in Cantonese; there are English-language performances at the Fringe Club theaters, 2 Lower Albert Road, in Central. +Puppet Shows. +The classic Chinese puppet is the shadow puppet, manipulated behind a screen by three rods, but hand puppet and marionette shows are also on offer, often for free at public parks and playgrounds. +Nightlife +Hong Kong by night can suit any taste — riotous, sedate, raw, or cultured. +Note that sometimes there is a cover charge of HK$50 to HK$200 at clubs, which may or may not include a couple of drinks. +There are nightclubs in the principal hotels, with bands, dancing, and floor shows. +Always ask for a receipt that records information about the item, and if you buy an antique, be sure to get a certificate of authentication. +Jazz fans will find live jazz presented by international artists at the Jazz Club and Bar, 2/F, 34-36 D’Agular, Central; and at the Blue Note in the Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. +The Frin ge Club, 21 Lower Albert Road, Central, is Hong Kong’s best-known alternate entertainment venue, with jazz, rock, and other live music, in addition to a gallery for visual arts. +Bars with views and live music include Sky Lounge in the Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Tsim Sha Tsui; and Cyrano in the Island Shangri-La in Pacific Place. +Pubs are numerous. +In Tsim Sha Tsui, Ned Kelly’s Last Stand on Ashley Road is an Aussie institution; Delaney’s, 71-77 Peking Road, is one of Hong Kong’s enduring Irish pubs. +The clubs and bars of Wan Chai, long the center of seedy nightlife, have become almost respectable. +Joe Bananas, 23 Luard Road, is a Wan Chai mainstay for all-night partying. +Rick’s Cafe, 78-82 Jaffe Road, is a long-time disco that’s still popular. +A lot of the raunchy action has moved across the harbor to Tsim Sha Tsui East; this is also where you’ll find pricey hostess clubs, popular with Japanese tourists, but definitely not for those on a budget. +Soho, along with the Lan Kwai Fong area, is popular with chuppies (Hong Kong yuppies) and has a lively bar scene. +Causeway Bay also has a variety of bars and clubs. +Needless to say, avoid peddlers who approach you on the street and offer to take you to wondrous bargains. +TOTT’s, in the Excelsior Hotel, is a restaurant with live music and dancing and a harbor view. +Japanese karaoke bars have now become extremely popular with the locals. +There are a number of these on Chatham Road South and around Cameron Street in Tsim Sha Tsui. +The most typical of these are harbor cruises, usually including dinner and dancing on board an air-conditioned floating nightclub. +There are evening bus tours that include visits to a restaurant and night spots; some tours combine a Chinese banquet with a visit to an open-air market and the panorama from Victoria Peak. +Beaches. +In subtropical Hong Kong you can swim from April to early November. +There are more than 40 beaches in Hong Kong that are free to the public. +Most have lifeguards on duty from April to October, changing rooms, toilets, and snack stands. +On Hong Kong Island, Repulse Bay is the most popular; others are Shek O on the east coast and Stanley and Deep Water Bay on the south coast. +On the outlying islands, Cheung Chau and Cheung Sha are on Lantau, and Hung Shing Ye and Lo So Shing on Lamma; inquire about water pollution levels. +The large department stores have fixed prices, but elsewhere you should ask whether there is a discount, especially if you buy several items in one shop. +The Hong Kong Golf Club (Tel. 2812 7070) welcomes visitors to its three 18-hole courses at Fanling in the New Territories, or the 9-hole course at Deep Water Bay. +The Discovery Bay Golf Club on Lantau island (Tel. 2987 7273) has an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. course, open to visitors Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. +The 72-par course was designed by Dave Thomas. +Hiking. +In the New Territories the famous MacLehose Trail stretches 97 km (60 miles) from Sai Kung Peninsula to Tuen Mun. +The Lantau Trail is a 69-km (43-mile) circular trail on Lantau Island that begins and ends at Silvermine Bay. +Both trails are divided into smaller segments of varying difficulty. +Maps of hiking trails are available at the Government Publications Center, Low Block, Government Offices, 66 Queensway in Central. +HKTA also has trail maps and sponsors the Guided Nature Walks, led by rangers, that include hikes in all the different regions of Hong Kong. +Jogging. +Victoria Park has a jogging track in Causeway Bay. +Because of the heavy harbor traffic, only sailors licensed by the Hong Kong authorities can run pleasure boats in local waters. +Contact the Hong Kong Yacht Club at Tel. 2832 2817 for information. +Compare prices before you buy any significant item. +Taijiquan (Tai Chi). +HKTA offers lessons in these exercises that improve concentration and balance at Garden Plaza, Hong Kong Park, Admiralty (Tel. 2058 1234). +Tennis. +There are 13 public courts at Victoria Park Tennis Centre (Tel. +Horseracing. +All levels of society share a feverish interest in the Sport of Kings. +The racing schedule is September to June, and Hong Kong maintains two tracks — the older Happy Valley course on Hong Kong Island and the striking Sha Tin track in the New Territories. +The Hong Kong Tourist Association runs a “Come Horseracing Tour,” which includes entry to the Hong Kong Jockey Club visitors’ box and members’ enclosure, and a buffet-style meal. +Cricket. +Rugby. +Hong Kong has many attractions that appeal to children of all ages. +Since Hong Kong is a duty-free port and charges no sales tax, goods are cheaper here than in the country where they were made. +Hong Kong’s many beaches are especially fun for children. +Children love riding on Hong Kong’s antique trams. +There’s a special Kid’s World that those under 12 can enter free when accompanied by a paying adult. +The more daring can try out the terrifying roller-coaster rides. +Hong Kong’s state-of-the-art interactive museums will interest children of all ages. +Note that when haggling, the merchant assumes you are prepared to pay cash. +For children who love boats, riding the Star Ferry or ferry trips to outlying islands will be exciting, and the Dolphin Watch trip (see page 113) is certain to appeal. +If you plan to visit during May, the carnival atmosphere of the Cheung Chau Bun Festival, with its high bamboo-and-paper towers covered in sticky buns, will fascinate the young ones. +If, after concluding a deal, you try to pay with a credit card, he may then boost the price in order to cover the card charges. +It is advisable to shop at outlets that are members of the Hong Kong Tourist Association (HKTA), identified by a red junk logo. +Membership imposes an obligation to maintain standards of both quality and service, and provides dissatisfied customers with an officially recognized channel for redressing complaints;

Wing On, one of the oldest in Hong Kong; Marks and Spencer; and the Japanese department stores, Mitsukoshi, Sobo, and Seibu. +Malls. +Hong Kong is full of giant malls. +Harbour City, just west of the Star Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the largest; Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, is Central’s biggest mall, with retail outlets and department stores; Times Square is a collection of retail outlets in Causeway Bay. +Factory Outlets. +These stores sell excess stock or factory overruns. +Hong Kong is no longer a factory outlet center since much of its clothing manufacturing has moved elsewhere. +There are factory showrooms in the Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, in Central. +Markets. +Markets are the places to use your bargaining skills. +Hong Kong’s most famous and colorful market is the Temple Street Night Market near the Jordan MTR stop. +Every conceivable kind of goods is sold here: clothing, all kinds of electronics, CDs, souvenirs, crafts, and jewelry. +Specialty goods and souvenirs, often handmade, come from Hong Kong and elsewhere in China. +Stanley Market is located on Hong Kong’s southern coast, and is well-known for all kinds of clothing, including silk and cashmere. +The Jade Market, on Kansu Street in Yau Ma Tei, is known for both jade and freshwater pearls. +This is not the place to make expensive purchases, but it’s great for inexpensive pendants, earrings, and gifts. +What to Buy +Antiques. +Look for fine Chinese bronzes, embroidery, lacquerware and porcelain, tomb figures, and wood carvings, among other possibilities. +The experts point out that it is not age alone that determines a Chinese antique’s value — the dynasties of the past had their creative ups and downs. +Custom-made garments by skillful Hong Kong tailors are still much in demand and cost less than elsewhere for comparable garments. +For serious antiques, try Honeychurch Antiques at no. 29 for furniture and silver, Tai Sing Company at 122 for porcelain. +For fun you can visit the Low Price Shop at no. 47 or the Cat Street crafts stores and flea market. +Brocades and Silks. +Fabrics from China are a bargain and well worth taking home. +For fabrics, also try Western Market, Morrison Street, in Central. +Two reliable places to start looking in Lan Kwai Fong are Photo Scientific in the Eurasia Building and Hing Lee Camera Company, 25 Lyndhurst Terrace. +Carpets and Rugs. +Hong Kong is a mecca for Chinese hand-knotted wool carpets and silk rugs. +Hong Kong’s stores are usually able to arrange shipment. +Caravan at 65 Hollywood Road and the shops in The Silk Road at Ocean Center in Tsim Sha Tsui are good places to start looking. +China (Porcelain). +In Hong Kong you can have a plate, or even a whole dinner service, hand-painted to your own design. +Factories in Kowloon and the New Territories, producing traditional and modern china, are geared to entertain and instruct visiting tourists; prices are appealing. +Two of the largest places to go are the Wah Tung China Company in the Grand Marine Industrial Building in Aberdeen; and the Overjoy Porcelain Factory in Block B of the Kwai Hing Industrial Building, Kwai Chung, in the New Territories. +In antiques shops, look for highly valued porcelains from China. +Electronics. +The latest gadgets are sometimes available in Hong Kong before anywhere else. +Before you begin shopping, pick up HKTA’s “Shopping Guide to Consumer Electronics. ” +Prices on electronics have risen in the past two years; check prices at home before you buy here. +Nathan Road has many electronics shops. +Also check out Star Computer City in the Star House near the Star Ferry terminal. +You’ll find that prices are about the same in Hong Kong Central and Kowloon, and somewhat cheaper in Causeway Bay, which caters to local shopping. +Furniture. +The choice ranges from traditional hand-carved Chinese rosewood furniture to well-made reproductions of modern Western styles. +Rattan furniture is highly popular. +Hollywood Road has several furniture shops. +Queen’s Road East in Wan Chai is a furniture manufacturing and retail area. +Jade. +“ Good for the health” is just one of the many magical qualities that are attributed to these beautiful emerald-green or turquoise stones. +Real jade is extremely expensive, and you may be offered counterfeit jade, which looks exactly like the genuine article. +Some people say you can test the authenticity by touch — real jade feels smooth and cool. +Alternatively, you can shine a lamp on the stone — real jade shows no reflected light. +Better still, go shopping with an expert. +Jewelry. +Thanks to the duty-free situation, prices in Hong Kong are lower than they are in some other places. +You can buy gemstones loose or set, or have them made up to your own design. +Popular purchases include diamonds and freshwater pearls. +If you do plan to buy jewelry, be sure to consult the “Shopping Guide to Jewellery” published by the Hong Kong Tourist Authority to find a reputable dealer. +The statues in the main shrine represent Man, the god of literature, and Mo, the god of war, a curious juxtaposition. +The temple is always crowded with worshipers. +Just past the temple is the aptly named Ladder Street. +As you get off, the 52-story Jardine House with porthole-shaped windows catches the eye. +Go down one flight of steps to Lascar Row, popularly known as Cat Street, for more antiques and curio shops. +Walk up the steps to reach Caine Lane, where you’ll find the Museum of Medical Sciences (open Tuesday–Saturday 10am–5pm; admission by donation). +The interesting Edwardian building was formerly the Pathological Institute, founded to combat the 19th century’s 30-year-long outbreak of bubonic plague. +The old laboratory is still intact, and there are exhibits on Chinese pharmacology and the history of medicine in Hong Kong. +Just to the east of the financial district, Wan Chai was once an area of sleazy clubs and topless bars; this was the setting for The World of Suzy Wong. +Servicemen relaxing from the rigors of the Vietnam War poured millions of dollars into the Wan Chai boom of the 1960s. +There are restaurants and a Starbuck’s in the basement, and you can access the raised pedestrian crosswalk from the escalators on the ground floor. +There are still bars and clubs here, but the area has become almost mainstream, and office towers are replacing many of the sinful old premises. +The Wan Chai waterfront is dominated by the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the largest in Asia, which includes hotels, theaters, and exhibition halls. +The convention center, an extension on reclaimed land, affords stunning views of the Wan Chai waterfront. +On Wan Chai’s Bowen Road, Maiden’s Rock, also called Lover’s Rock, is the gathering place for the annual Maiden’s festival. +Although it is not a tourist attraction, the rock is steeped in tradition. +About 2 km (a mile) east of Wan Chai, Causeway Bay is second only to Tsim Sha Tsui as Hong Kong’s place to shop. +A prosperous tourist district, it is full of shopping centers and department stores, along with a number of good restaurants. +On the nautical side is the Causeway Bay typhoon shelter, where expensive yachts are anchored almost gunwale to gunwale, and the Hong Kong Yacht Club has its headquarters. +Across Gloucester Road, opposite the World Trade Centre, is the Noonday Gun, which under British rule was sounded on the stroke of midday. +Next to the Jardine building is Exchange Square, a complex with a large shopping mall; just behind it is the General Post Office with a philatelic center on the ground floor. +Silent for a time, the tradition has been revived and is a tourist attraction. +It’s not clear how the custom started. +One story has it that traders Jardine, Matheson & Co fired a private salute for a visiting tycoon, an act that incensed the colonial authorities, who felt that they had the sole right to issue such a 21-gun welcome. +As a result, the merchants were forced to limit their salvoes to one a day — and from then on, they signaled the noon hour daily for all to hear. +The gun was made famous by Noel Coward’s satirical song, “Mad Dogs and Englishmen. ” +Farther east is Hong Kong’s largest park, Victoria Park, with sports grounds and other facilities. +On the eastern side of Victoria Park on Causeway Road is Tin Hau Temple, dedicated to Tin Hau, the Taoist Queen of Heaven and patroness of seafarers. +Originally the temple was on the shore but reclamation projects have now left it high and dry. +Inland from the bay is Happy Valley. +At one time it was a very miserable valley, a swampland conducive only to breeding malarial mosquitoes. +It is home to Hong Kong’s first racetrack. +Hong Kong’s gamblers are so eager to play the horses that, despite the opening of a bigger and better racetrack at Sha Tin, the Happy Valley Racecourse is thriving. +Up Tai Hang Road behind Causeway Bay is Aw Boon Haw (Tiger Balm) Gardens (open daily 9:30am–4pm), founded in 1935 by the late Aw Boon Haw, who became a millionaire by producing the medicinal Tiger Balm. +With its garish pagodas, artificial caves, and brightly painted statues of well-known Taoist and Buddhist legends, the garden is an obvious photo opportunity. +Farther west is the ferry terminal for the outlying islands. +Aberdeen, the island’s oldest settlement, once a pirate lair, is home to the “floating population” — the boat people who spend their entire lives on the junks in the harbor, some proudly claiming never to have set foot on land (except for funerals, which don’t count). +The junks are a picturesque sight: children frolicking on the poop deck, women preparing food or playing mah-jong, elderly folk watching the sunset, dogs and cats underfoot, songbirds in bamboo cages overhead — and all afloat. +The boats may appear deceptively primitive, but many of them have their own electric generators and all the modern conveniences. +There are fewer boats now than in the past; many boat people, especially the younger generation, have moved to housing projects. +You can take a tour of the port in one of the small sampans, propelled by hand by women drivers. +A half-hour tour costs HK$50; pay at the end, or the driver may cut your trip short. +Aberdeen’s theatrical floating restaurants have been a tourist attraction for many years. +The food may not live up to expectations, but the fantasy environment makes up for it. +If you can get up early enough, you can attend the pre-dawn auction held at the vast local wholesale fish market; otherwise, have a look at the street market that goes on later in the day. +The peninsula opposite the east coast of Ap Lei Chau island contains Ocean Park (open daily 10am–6pm; admission HK$150 adults, HK$75 children), which has become one of Hong Kong’s biggest attractions. +It is divided into three areas: a highland, a lowland, and the Middle Kingdom. +Linking the lowland and highland sections of the park, a cable-car system offers spectacular views across to the islands of the South China Sea. +The Oceanarium is said to be the largest in the world, and the Ocean Theatre features displays by dolphins, killer whales, seals, and pelicans. +An enormous roller-coaster rising way above the sea, space wheels, and high-diving shows guarantee a day of excitement. +The Middle Kingdom is a recreated “living” history of China’s past, presented through a number of full-size replicas of shrines, temples, pagodas, palaces, and street scenes. +There are also demonstrations of traditional Chinese crafts, including silk-weaving, pottery, and p apermaking. +Water World, formerly in the complex, has closed for redevelopment. +The next inlet is Repulse Bay, a roomy, sandy crescent, with green hills. +Stanley was once one of the main fishing villages on Hong Kong Island. +The well-known Stanley Mar­ket (see page 55) is a major source for bargain clothing and other merchandise. +Stanley is also a favorite place of residence for ex-pats. +Nearby is Central Market, the wholesale food market of Hong Kong, and the Hang Seng building (private offices). +In many areas, the density reaches the equivalent of 150,000 inhabitants per square km (a quarter square mile). +Most of Kowloon’s attractions for visitors are centered near the tip of the peninsula in the district known as Tsim Sha Tsui. +Adjacent to the Star Ferry terminal is Ocean Terminal, where international cruise ships dock, and the gigantic Harbour City, a complex of malls, hotels, and restaurants. +If you walk east on the Star Ferry terminal concourse, you will find yourself on the wonderful Promenade, which begins at the clock tower, all that remains of the once grand Kowloon-Canton Railway Terminus. +The waterfront here offers unparalled views of the harbor and Hong Kong Island. +If you continue to the end of the promenade, you will be in Tsim Sha Tsui East, a busy commercial district built on more than 60 hectares (150 acres) of reclaimed land. +Flanked by the clock tower is the imposing Hong Kong Cultural Centre. +Hong Kong’s major venue for the performing arts, the building has been criticized for its fortress-like architecture and windowless façade. +Just east of the Star Ferry terminal, you’ll come to City Hall. +The interior is a comfortable amalgam of Chinese and Western design, with an impressive main lobby. +The center contains a concert hall with acclaimed acoustics, theaters, a library, an exhibition gallery, shops, restaurants, and bars. +Next door is the Hong Kong Space Museum and Theatre (open Monday, Wed­nesday–Friday 1–9pm; Sat­ur­day, Sunday 10am–9pm; closed Tuesday; admission HK$10 adults, HK$5 children; separate admission to theater). +No longer a center of government, it now functions as a cultural center. +The theater presents “sky shows” and IMAX films. +The Hong Kong Museum of Art (see page 54) stands behind the Space Museum next to the cultural center. +It contains the Xubaizhi collection of painting and calligraphy; galleries devoted to antiquities and ceramics; and a gallery of modern Chinese art. +Particularly interesting is the collection of paintings and photographs of old Hong Kong. +The museum mounts special exhibitions and has an excellent gift shop. +A few blocks up Chatham Road South are two more major museums. +The Scien­ce Mus­eum (see page 55) is a state-of-the-art interactive museum that will teach you how everything and anything works from ancient sailing ships to the latest technology. +Go through the underground walkway to Statue Square; on the east side of the square is the Legislative Council Building, one of the few colonial buildings left in Hong Kong. +The fascinating collection of artifacts pertaining showcases 6,000 years of Hong Kong’s history and Chinese culture. +Just across Salisbury Road from the cultural center is the historic Peninsula Hotel, now expanded and modernized by a 32-story tower. +Its restored lobby is Hong Kong’s most elegant gathering place; afternoon tea here is a visitors’ ritual. +Alongside the hotel runs busy Nathan Road, Hong Kong’s fabled shopping street, lined with shops, hotels, and restaurants. +Kowloon’s main street was created by Sir Matthew Nathan when he was governor of Hong Kong at the turn of the 19th century. +At the time it was built, many thought it absurd to have a tree-lined boulevard running through what was practically a wilderness. +Now the former “Nathan’s Folly” is known as the “Golden Mile. ” +A few blocks up Nathan Road is Kowloon Park (open daily 6am–midnight), elegantly laid out with fountains, promenades, and ornamental gardens; be sure to go up the steps to see the Sculpture Walk. +Farther up Nathan Street you will reach Yau Ma Tei, one of the older parts of Kowloon. +Turn off Nathan and walk down Kansu Street to find the Jade Market (open 10am–3pm; see page 80), with more than 100 stalls spread out in a large tent, just before you reach the overpass. +Hong Kong’s liveliest market scene is the Temple Street Night Market (see page 55), near Jordan Road. +Everything is sold here, from clothing to souvenirs to electronic goods, and the market is known for its street-side food stalls, where you can dine inexpensively on seafood. +So great is the pressure on the available land that most of Hong Kong’s colonial architectural heritage has been demolished and replaced by new skyscrapers. +The market runs all the way up to Tin Hau Temple, where you will find fortune tellers’ tables (some speak English) and possibly street performers singing Chinese opera or pop songs. +The temple is one of the many dedicated to Tin Hau, goddess of seafarers; this one also houses an altar to Shing Wong, the city’s god. +In the daytime the temple (open 8am–6pm) attracts worshipers, and its park attracts strollers and mah-jong players. +Nathan Road goes all the way up to Boundary Street, which marks the boundary between Kowloon and the New Territories. +Near Boundary Street, off Prince Edward Street West, is the Yuen Po Street Bird Garden (open 8am–7pm). +Off the beaten path in Sham Shui Po, west of the junction of Nathan Road and Boundary Street, is the Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb and Museum on Tonkin Road (open Monday–Wednesday and Friday–Saturday 10am–6pm, Sunday 1–6pm; closed Thursday). +This ancient burial vault is believed to date back to the Han Dynasty (a.d. 25–220). +The barrel-vaulted chambers were discovered while excavating for a nearby housing project. +Hong Kong’s New Territories begin at Boundary Street. +Surprises spring up on all sides: new industrial complexes alongside sleepy farming villages, skyscraper towns blooming in the middle of nowhere, Hakka women in their traditional flat straw hats with hanging black curtains, water buffalo, and flashes of azalea everywhere. +Despite protests by preservationists, there was little alternative. +The New Territories can be explored by taking the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR), which makes 10 stops between the station in Kowloon and Sheung Shui, the last stop before entering China. +Ask the tourist authority about its interesting Heritage Tour from Kowloon and other countryside tours (see page 113). +The main highway makes a circuit of the New Territories, beginning with the new town of Tsuen Wan, situated in an area of heavy industry just west of Kowloon. +North of the town, a commanding view over all the New Territories to the north can be seen from Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong’s highest peak at 957 m (3,140 ft). +The highway continues parallel to the coast. +Nearby is Chater Garden and a number of notable architectural landmarks. +One-third of all Hong Kong’s beaches are to be found in a single 14-km (9-mile) stretch of this region’s shoreline. +Place names are often based on the distance to the nearest mile-post, as measured from the tip of the Kowloon peninsula. +Thus you will find “191/2-mile Beach” at Castle Peak Bay. +The main road continues clockwise around the New Territories. +As you approach the border, you can glimpse the skyscrapers of Shenzhen. +Most famous is the striking 74-story I.M. Pei Bank of China Tower, not beloved by the people of Hong Kong — its triangular prisms and sharp angles violate the principles of feng shui (see box, page 68) and its radio masts stick up like an insect’s antennae. +Set amid Tseun Wan’s residential towers is the 18th-century walled village of Sam Tung Uk, now preserved as a museum, and a short walk from the MTR station. +Not far away, at milepost 21 near the large new town of Tuen Mun, is a Taoist retreat known as Ching Chung Koon. +This “Temple of Green Pines” is a spacious complex containing temples and pavilions, statues, and gardens. +It is known for its collection of bonsai and houses a jade seal more than 1,000 years old. +Among the ponds is one inhabited by turtles: Visitors toss in coins in the hope of bouncing one off a turtle’s head, a sure way of achieving good fortune. +An even more interesting image out of Chinese history is the walled village of Kat Hing Wai, in the village of Kam Tin just outside the market town of Yuen Long. +This is the most easily accessible of the New Territories’ walled villages. +It is built in a square, and the only way in is through the gate in the brick defensive wall. +Kat Hing Wai was built four or five centuries ago by the Hakka Tang clan, one of the Five Great Clans that migrated here from North China (see page 11). +Many of the old houses in the village have been replaced by modern structures. +The Tang clan’s earliest walled village was Lo Wai, which also has its defensive wall intact and is entered by a narrow gate. +Few traditional ancestral halls remain in China since the anti-historical destruction during the Cultural Revolution, so these New Territories ancestral halls are rare survivors. +Another such hall, belonging to the Liu Clan, is Liu Man Shek Tong in the village of Sheung Shui. +One of the most interesting sites in the New Territories is Tai Fu Tai, another rare survivor, this one a mansion that belonged to a Confucian high official. +The house was built in 1865 by a member of the Man clan who achieved the rank of tai fu (mandarin) by doing well in the Imperial Exam­inations. +The preservation of this wonderful home is ongoing; a projected restoration of the original garden is still in progress. +The traditional Qing Dyna­sty style of the mansion is enlivened by a few West­ern touches: a Baroque-style ceiling and stained glass above the doorways, showing the builder’s up-to-date attitude at the time of construction. +The highway and the railway stay close together from Fanling, site of the best golf courses in the area. +Tai Po, just south of Fanling, is known for its market, Tai Po Market, which buzzes with activity daily from 7am to 6pm. +Just up a lane from the market is the Man Mo Temple, with long-burning incense coils hanging from its ceiling, a popular spot dedicated to the Taoist gods of war and literature. +The rival Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank is by architect Norman Foster; built on a “coathanger frame,” its floors hang rather than ascend. +The railway line then curves gracefully around Tolo Harbor, an idyllic body of water well-protected from the open sea. +You can take a ferryboat through the harbor, past the ingenious Plover Cove reservoir, a water catchment area appropriated by damming and draining a broad inlet from the sea. +The boats go on to the friendly fishermen’s island of Tap Mun, in Mirs Bay, with stops in remote hamlets of the Sai Kung Peninsula. +The Sai Kung area is the location of two official parks and nature preserves, while on the south side of the peninsula are some of the territory’s best beaches. +Teaching here is conducted in both Chinese and English. +The Art Gallery in the Institute of Chinese Studies Building is worth a visit for its painting and calligraphy collections. +Sha Tin is the site of the Monastery of 10,000 Buddhas, which looks down on a burgeoning town. +There are hundreds of stone steps in the hillside to walk up before you reach Man Fat Temple with its regiments of small gilt statues of Buddha lining the walls. +Some indefatigable climbers will want to go up to the top of the nine-story pink pagoda for a panoramic view. +From inside the vast atrium you can view the whole structure as well as the mechanical workings of the building. +Also here is the Hongkong Heritage Museum (call Tel. 2180 8188 for open hours). +The museum has an art collection, and displays of toys and other artifacts. +Down to earth, the Sha Tin Racecourse can accommodate over 80,000 spectators and is equipped with every imaginable luxury, including a giant video screen facing the stands, and for the horses, air-conditioned stables. +Opposite the Sha Tin railway station, New Town Plaza features shops, cinemas, and even a computer-controlled musical fountain. +Two natural rock formations are always pointed out on excursions. +Legend has it that a local woman climbed the hill every day to watch for her husband returning from across the sea; one day the wife and her child were turned to stone as a permanent symbol of her enduring faith. +Two bronze lions, carrying out feng shui principles, guard its doors. +It really looks the part; the tourists know its name even before the guide can translate it. +Excursion companies sell a variety of orientation cruises of Hong Kong harbor that include a look at some of its 235 outlying islands. +You can catch one of Hong Kong’s historic trams along Des Voeux Road and ride from Central to Causeway Bay (see box, page 66). +The mountainous island of Lantau is the biggest in the colony, and covers nearly twice the area of Hong Kong Island. +Chek Lap Kok airport sits on reclaimed land just off Lantau; plans to build a bridge may change Lantau, but at present it is sparsely populated and makes a perfect getaway. +At 934 m (3,064 ft), Lantau Peak is high enough to attract the occasional rain cloud — refreshingly cool breezes blow on most hot summer days. +More than half the island is parkland, and there is a 70-km (45-mile) circular hiking trail (see page 92). +Ferries depart from Central every two hours between 6:10am and 10:30pm to Silvermine Bay (Mui Wo), where a bus terminal has buses to all parts of the island. +There are also ferries to Discovery Bay. +A short bus ride away is Cheung Sha Beach, 3 km (2 miles) long, and popular for its white sand and excellent facilities. +The most famous site on the island is the world’s tallest seated bronze statue of Buddha at 22 m (72.6 ft), the Tiantan Buddha (see page 55). +The statue and a small museum are on a peak, up 268 steps, above Po Lin Monastery. +The monastery is strictly vegetarian, and visitors are warned not to bring any meat with them. +You can have a delicious vegetarian lunch here. +In 1904, the narrow, double-decker trams ran along the waterfront, but land reclamation has placed them far inland. +From the monastery, hikers enjoy the two-hour cross-country trek down to Silvermine Bay, but the authorities have warned walkers to be on the lookout for snakes, which can be plentiful in the Lantau hinterland, especially in summer. +The hillsides that surround the monastery are the site of Hong Kong’s only tea plantation. +Visitors are welcome to visit the 24-hectare (60-acre) establishment, and may sample the end product, Lantau tea. +The island’s largest community is Tai O. The people of this picturesque village make their living by fishing, duck-breeding, and food-processing. +A Trappist monastery, situated on a hillside overlooking the east coast of Lantau, is also open to visitors. +Some 10 km (6 miles) west of Hong Kong lies this small, crowded island, only one square mile in size. +More than 25,000 people live here, mostly by fishing, but there are also ex-pats, attracted by its laid-back Mediterranean ambience. +From the Bank of China Tower, make a short detour up Garden Road and turn into Battery Path to reach the landmark St. John’s Cathe­dral. +The island has a checkered past of smuggling and pira cy. +The people still carve jade and build seaworthy junks, all by hand. +Fish (heads discreetly wrapped in paper) are still hung out to dry in the sun. +Cheung Chau becomes the center of Hong Kong life once a year, usually in May, during the Bun Festival, a folklore extravaganza (see page 89). +The rest of the year, life goes on at its accustomed pace: rickety machines chugging in two-man factories, children in school uniforms being ferried home to houseboats, and the old fishermen stirring shrimp paste. +By way of formal tourist attractions, Pak Tai Temple, built in 1783, has some fine carvings and a great iron sword said to be 600 years old. +But the most interesting thing to do here is to explore the two villages on the island, Cheung Chau and San Wai. +They are an easy walk apart by the harbor road, or a longer 45-minute hike on the scenic Peak Road. +The Praya, the promenade in front of the ferry pier, is a good place to observe the many junks and fishing boats in the harbor. +There are also several open-air restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood. +Only 35 minutes by ferry from Central, Lamma Island is perfect for swimming, hiking, picnicking, birdwatching, or just sitting back to watch the bananas grow. +Built 1847–1849, this usually deserted Anglican foundation is Hong Kong’s oldest church. +Hong Kong’s third largest island has a population of only about 12,000; it is still largely undeveloped, and life on Lamma, if not totally primitive, is close to the essentials. +Archaeologists indicate that Lamma has probably been inhabited for some 4,000 years, and the island is known as “Hong Kong’s Stone Age Island. ” +The principal settlements are Yung Shue Wan on Lamma’s northwest, and Sok Kwu Wan, on the east coast. +Both villages offer good waterfront restaurants with homestyle Chinese food, principally seafood fresh from the tank. +The ports are within hiking distance of several beautiful beaches, and within a one-hour hike of each other on a marked trail. +You can build an appetite for dinner by making your way from the beach to the restaurant. +Yung Shue Wan is still a very British residential enclave, with many nice pubs. +During World War II, the church was turned into a club for Japanese officers; it was restored after the war. +Macau, the final bastion of Portugal’s great 16th-century empire, is much more than just a quirk of history. +Here, where East and West first met, life combines the spirit of Asia with something of the sunny atmosphere of the Mediterranean. +Macau’s historic center, with its colonial architecture, has a distinctly Medit­er­ranean flavor. +No matter how many tunnels and transit systems speed cross-harbor traffic, nothing matches the ride on the Star Ferry from Kowloon to the Central District across Victoria Harbor. +Col­­o­n­na­­ded public buildings, iron balconies, winding streets, flagstoned squares and the many churches all speak of the Portuguese inheritance as well as the Chinese, a fusion of East and West that has produced the unique Macanese culture. +The story of the Western discovery of Macau begins in 1513 when Portuguese explorer, Jorge Alvares, reached the south coast of China. +Traders followed in his wake, setting up bases in several parts of the Pearl River estuary. +Finally, in 1557, they were all consolidated in Macau. +It was the only European gateway to China, and through Macau flowed Western technology and religion. +In 1576 Pope Gregory XIII created the Macau diocese, covering all of China and Japan. +Note the stained glass windows in the Quiet Chapel, designed by Joseph Edward Nuttgens in the late 1950s. +No less impressive were the secular challenges. +China and Japan were not on speaking terms, so trade between them had to be channeled through a neutral middleman. +Lucky Macau fit the specifications exactly. +The Dutch sent an invasion flotilla to Macau in 1622, but the defenders triumphed. +However, the end of the golden age was drawing near. +A haven for persecuted Japanese Christians in the 17th century, Portugal’s neutrality during World War II assured the territory a flood of refugees. +They were joined by a swarm of spies of all conceivable nationalities, and Macau won a name for international intrigue. +Portugal’s very precarious foothold on the Asian coast ended in 1999 with a formal handover to China. +Macau, now the Chinese Special Economic Zone of Zhuhai, is becoming something like a boomtown as an exporter of toys, furniture, and electronics. +Macau’s population is estimated at around 450,000, an appallingly high figure for such a small area; recent land reclamation has eased the situation to some extent. +If a trace of tropical lethargy still adds to the charm in this city of sidewalk cafés, palm trees, and pedicabs, any torpor definitely ends once inside the doors of Macau’s casinos, scene of some of the liveliest gambling west of Las Vegas. +Gambling provides almost 40 percent of the government’s tax revenues, and is a major source of employment. +Its spin-off industries, prostitution and pawn shops, also thrive. +The easiest way to get to Macau is by jetfoil, operated by TurboJet (Tel. 2859-3333). +The 40-mile trip takes about an hour. +Across from the I.M. Pei tower a winding path leads up to Hong Kong Park. +Departures are from the Macau Ferry Terminal, just west of Central in the Shun Tak Centre, 200 Connaught Road, Central, in Hong Kong. +Macau’s own currency, the pataca, is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar, and you can use your Hong Kong currency freely in Macau. +Outside the terminal, you will find taxis as well as buses to all points (take 3, 3A, 10, or 10A to the historic center; exact change is required). +You’ll also be approached by pedicab drivers; these are tricycles carrying two passengers. +The park’s 10.5 hectares (25 acres) of landscaped gardens and lakes contains a large greenhouse that holds many species of plants, and an aviary of exotic birds. +Pedicabs were once the most common form of transportation in Macau, but today they are mainly a tourist attraction. +Directly across the street from the wharf where passengers arrive from Hong Kong is the first surprise to greet visitors to Macau — the vast Jai-alai Palace, said to be the world’s most luxurious frontón. +In an effort to provide yet one more thing to bet on, players are imported from Spain to take part in this lightning-fast Basque ball game. +The grandstand situated on the seaside road, the Avenida da Amizade (Friendship Avenue), marks the finishing line for the Macau Grand Prix, the international car-racing event held here every November. +Also in front of the ferry terminal is a new Cyber fountain, with 86 water spouts that shoot up to 70 m (230 ft) and are illuminated at night by 288 spotlights producing 80 colors. +Continuing around the peninsula in a clockwise direction brings you to the Rua da Praia Grande (Big Beach Street) — a pleasant promenade with shaded benches under the banyan trees. +Along this elegant avenue is Government House, a modest pink palace. +The central square of the historic city center is Largo do Senado. +For an authentic feel of old Portugal, slip into the cool entrance hall of theimpressive Leal Senado (“Loyal Senate” building), a fine example of colonial architecture. +On the inside walls are flowered blue tiles (azulejos) and coats of arms. +The inscription over the archway reads, “Cidade do nome de Deus, não ha outra mais leal” (“City of the Name of God, None is More Loyal”) — a bit of praise attributed to Portugal’s King John IV in the 17th century. +In the park is the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware (see page 54). +For all its historic grandeur, the loyal Senate now is the equivalent of a city council, its statesmanship dedicated to water supplies, sewage lines, and the establishment of playgrounds. +Macau’s most memorable monument is the Baroque façade of the ruins of São Paulo, the only remains of a beautiful 17th-century Jesuit church. +The rest of the building and an adjoining college were destroyed in a typhoon-fanned fire in 1835. +The rich sculptural effects on the façade mix Eastern and Western symbols: familiar saints, Chinese dragons, and a Portuguese caravel. +It’s in Hong Kong’s oldest colonial building, with exhibits describing the history of tea from the Warring States period (475–221 b.c. ) to the present. +Beneath the church, the Museum of Sacred Art houses a collection of sacramental objects. +The ambitious Museum of Macau (open Tuesday–Sunday 10am–6pm; admission HK$15) opened in 1998 in the lower levels of the Monte Fortress. +Entrance is by escalator, near St. Paul’s. +It gives an overview of Macau’s history and its daily life and traditions. +A re-created street of colonial Macau is lined with traditional Chinese shops. +Local legend claims that he wrote part of his great saga, Os Lusíadas, in what is now called the Camões Grotto, situated in the spacious tropical Camões Garden. +Next to the museum, behind a gate (opened to anyone who knocks), is the Old Protestant Cemetery. +Those whose fate was to die on some far foreign field could not have wanted a more peaceful, lovely graveyard. +The small, whitewashed chapelwas the first Protestant church built in China. +For a different vision of Old China, spend a few quiet moments in the classic Lou Lim Ieoc Garden. +Here, arched bridges, pagodas, fish ponds, and stands of bamboo create the mood of a timeless Chinese painting. +Nearby is the Memorial House of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Chinese Republic. +If you leave the park and walk up Cotton Tree Drive, you will find the Peak Tram terminal. +Photos and documents tell the life story of the physician-revolutionary-statesman, who lived for a time in Macau, but never in this building. +Kun Iam Tong, off Avenida do Coronel Mesquita (open daily 8am–6pm), is a 17th-century Buddhist temple of considerable splendor and charm. +An unexpected piece of historical memorabilia turns up in the monastery garden, where guides point out a small stone table used for a treaty-signing ceremony in 1844. +The signatories, who were the Chinese viceroy from Canton and the minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, put their names to a historic document — the first-ever treaty between the two countries. +T he crowded Kowloon peninsula and the booming New Territories on the mainland call for some serious sightseeing; but we begin across Victoria Harbor on Hong Kong Island, where the city was first founded and which remains the center of government, business, and commerce. +Nearby is the Macau Cultural Center and the Museum of Art (open Tuesday–Sunday 10am–7pm; closed Monday; small admission). +For more than a century, the most exhilarating way up Victoria Peak has been by funicular. +Macau’s oldest museum, the Maritime Museum (Wednesday–Monday 10am–5:30pm; admission HK$10, HK$5 children over 10) traces the history of Macau’s connection to the sea. +Exhibits cover fishing, seaborne trade, sea transport, and there is an aquarium. +The museum also offers boat tours aboard a fishing junk. +The museum is almost on the spot where the Portuguese first landed. +When they came ashore they found the A-Ma Temple (properly called Ma Kok Temple; open daily dawn to dusk), dedicated to the favorite goddess of fishermen, who is also known as Tin Hau. +The area was called A-Ma Gau (“Bay of A-Ma”), and in this way, Macau got its name. +The remains of the 17th-century Barra Fortress, which once defended the southern tip of the peninsula, contains the chapel of Santiago (St. James). +The Peak Tram starts its scenic climb just across the street and around the corner from the American Consulate in Garden Road and makes its way, sometimes at a startlingly steep incline, to the summit at 398 m (1,305 ft). +The saint is much revered in the surrounding area. +Among other legends surrounding the statue is a very modern one: During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, when Red Guards were running rampant on Wanchai island, just a swim away, the image of St. James is said to have stepped down from the altar and halted an invasion. +Part of the fortress has been converted and is now used as a luxury inn. +The northernmost point in Macau is the frontier between two contrasting worlds. +The Barrier Gate (Portas do Cerco), which was built more than a century ago, marks the boundary between the enclave of Macau and the People’s Republic of China. +Macau’s casinos are a source of non-stop excitement. +The fancifully decorated Macau Palace, a floating casino moored on the western waterfront, is fitted out with gambling tables, slot machines (known locally as “hungry tigers”) and, for hungry humans, a restaurant. +Gambling is wildly popular with the Chinese of Hong Kong, and they make up nearly 80 percent of all visitors to the casinos. +The casinos offer familiar international games — baccarat, blackjack, boule, craps, roulette — along with more exotic Chinese pastimes. +Watch the fantan dealer for a few minutes and you’ll almost be an expert: It’s simply a matter of how many odd buttons are left after he has divided a pile of them into groups of four. +Dai-Siu (Big and Small) is a dice game in which the croupier throws three dice inside a glass container. +Players bet on the numbers that will come up, and on whether the result will be “big” or “small. ” +Keno is a variation of bingo in which the player chooses numbers to bet on before the draw is made. +The casinos have no admission charge and formal dress is optional, though long pants for men are required. +They keep busy 24 hours a day, but if you want a change of scene there are always more gambling opportunities available. +The right-of-way travels past fancy apartment blocks, bamboo stands, and jungle flowers. +You can try your luck at pari mutuel betting on jai-alai at pari mutuel, greyhound-racing at the Cani­drome (one of the largest in the world), and harness-racing on Taipa. +Like Hong Kong, Macau is a duty-free port. +It is famous for its gold jewelry. +Market prices per tael (34 grams/1. +2 ounces) of gold are set daily. +You should always ask for a certificate of guarantee when you buy gold or jewelry. +Browsing is a real pleasure in Macau’s main streets and byways, where shops aimed at the tourist market are interspersed with the more workaday ironmongers, herbalists, and noodle stalls. +Knowle­dgeable visitors look for antiques — either Chinese heirlooms or leftovers from the gracious Portuguese colonial days. +However, you are not likely to find bargains, and you should be aware that unless you are an expert, you can end up with a fake. +Also worth investigating are contemporary handicrafts, both Portuguese and Chinese, from across the border. +Gourmets award Macau high marks for dependable Chinese cooking with an exotic bonus: Portuguese food and wines. +Macau’s own cuisine is a combination of Chinese flavors with the flavors imported from Portugal, Brazil, and Africa. +Whether you choose to dine in one of the Macanese, Chinese, traditional Portuguese, or international-style restaurants, you will be treated to a hearty meal at a good price. +The Peak is still the most fashionable place to live in Hong Kong, but real estate prices here are astronomical; rents run around HK$50,000 a month. +The ingredients, especially the fresh fish and seafood, are first-rate. +A delicate, delicious fish is Macau sole (linguado). +Imported dried cod (bacalhao) is the Portuguese national dish; several varieties are available, usually baked. +Macau has an ample supply of Portuguese wines. +Try a vinho verde, a mildly sparkling young wine from northern Portugal, or a hearty red Dão or Colares. +After dinner, a glass of Madeira or port is recommended to round off the meal. +The more abstemious can stick to Portuguese mineral water. +Bridges link Macau with its two islands. +Since the construction of the New Macau-Taipa Bridge has allowed easy access to the airport, the population has grown to more than 30,000, with industrial development, new apartment blocks, and luxury resort hotels. +The quaint Taipa Village, with its narrow lanes and colonial buildings painted yellow, blue, and green, has almost been completely swallowed up by the development of nearby housing projects. +The island is also the designated home of the University of East Asia. +Pay a visit to the Casa Museu da Taipa, and you’ll be able to get a glimpse of how Macanese families lived in former days. +A grand colonial house, fully restored and outfitted with period furnishings, provides the centerpiece for this expanding “cultural village. ” +Not as developed as Taipa, it offers the joys of sand and sea and is known for its beaches. +Cheoc Van and Hac Sa (“Black Sands”) are both popular resort areas, with lifeguards on duty in summer and windsurfing boards for rent. +The Peak Tram, originally steam-powered, was built to speed the wealthy taipans to their mountainside retreats. +There are restaurants, swimming pools, and changing facilities. +The village of Coloane is picturesque, with a central square lined with cafés. +The small Chapel of St. Francis Xavier is dedicated to the 16th-century patron saint of missionaries, and has on display the elbow of the saint, along with the bones of numerous Japanese and Vietnamese martyrs. +Seac Pai Van Park, on the west coast of the island is an interesting natural preserve with aNatural History Museum. +Guangzhou was China’s major seaport for 2,000 years and the center for European traders in the 19th century. +Ever since 1957 the Canton Trade Fair (officially the Chinese Export Commodities Fair) has attracted throngs of international business people every spring and autumn. +Guangzhou, with a population of more than 5 million, straddles the Pearl River — China’s fifth longest — which links the city to the South China Sea. +Before the tram was built, sedan chairs and rickshaws were the only way to get here. +This waterway accounts for much of the local charm and excitement, as the daily drama of the ferryboats, junks, sampans, freighters — and even small tankers and big gunboats — unfolds right in the center of town. +Guangdong Province has some of China’s most fertile land, and grows two crops of rice a year, along with vegetables of all kinds. +Guangzhou today is mostly about business and industry, featuring new development, skyscrapers, a whole new business area, and raised expressways. +Since the tram’s inauguration in 1888 it has stopped only for typhoons and World War II. +Guangzhou is interestingly one of China’s most prosperous cities, determinedly on the move into the modern world. +It seems that the picturesque older sections with their old houses, narrow streets, and winding alleyways may not be around much longer. +There are many package tours to Guangzhou from Hong Kong (see page 113), and this may be the easiest way to visit the city. +However, it’s also easy to get to Guangzhou by train or ferry. +Four comfortable express trains depart the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) Station in Hung Hom, Kowloon, making the trip in less than two hours. +Turbo Cat ferries leave the China Hong Kong City (CHKC) terminal twice a day; the journey takes two hours. +As the double-decker boats get ready to leave the pier, bells ring, the gangplank is raised, deckhands in blue sailor suits man the hawsers, and a couple of hundred commuters begin a seven-minute sightseeing tour. +Citibus also travels to Guangzhou from CHKC; there are five round-trips a day, taking 31/2 hours. +You will need a visa to enter China (see page 109 for information). +Hong Kong currency is widely accepted in Guangzhou, or you can change your currency into RMB (yuan) at any bank or hotel. +The modern 120-passenger cars make the journey in around eight minutes. +English is spoken in hotels and tourist destinations. +If you travel by train, you will arrive at the Guangzhou East Station, a large modern complex, which connects with the subway, buses, hotel transfer services, and taxis. +The train station is in the newer business district; nearby is Asia’s third-tallest building, at 83 stories, which will often be pointed out to you. +Sights in Guangzhou +However, on sunny Saturdays and Sundays you may have to brave a crowd lining up at the lower terminal. +The park is landscaped with lakes and gardens. +In the park is the 1380 Zhenhai Tower, one of the city’s oldest buildings. +Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Memorial Hall honors the founder of the Chinese Revolution, flanked by his heroic statue in copper. +Dr. Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925) began his political career in Canton. +This enormous, modern version of a traditional Chinese building, with sweeping blue tile roofs, contains an auditorium big enough to seat 4,700 people. +It was built in 1931 with contributions from overseas Chinese. +The center of the park is the Five Rams Statue. +It celebrates the founding of Guangzhou, when five spirits rode their goats down from the celestial realm to present the inhabitants of the city with their very first grains of rice. +Guangzhou’s most important Buddhist monument is the 1,400-year-old Temple of the Six Banyan Trees (open 8am–5pm). +During the spring and autumn festivals, when people traditionally seek out the hilltops, the throngs are so large you would be better advised to try another time. +Although the banyan trees that once flourished here are now no more, the often-restored complex has remained a focus of local Buddhist activities. +Golden Buddha statues in several of Buddha’s aspects adorn the temples, and overlooking them is the 17-story Flower Pagoda, a slender relic of the Song dynasty (a.d. 960–1279). +In the early Middle Ages, Canton had a significant Muslim population as a result of its trade with the Middle East. +This explains the presence in Guangzhou of the Huaisheng Mosque, reputed to be China’s oldest, and traditionally dated a.d. 627. +Rebuilt in modern times, the mosque serves the small local community of Muslims. +The modern minaret is known as the “Plain (or Naked) Pagoda,” in contrast to the Flower Pagoda of the Buddhist temple. +Chen Jia Ci, the Chen Family Institute (open daily 8:30am–5pm), was built in the late 19th century to promote arts and crafts. +Porcelain friezes adorn the rooftops and ridgepoles, telling the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. +Inside is a collection of ceramics, carvings, and furniture. +There is also a market and a porcelain shop. +Mao Zedong himself directed the institute in 1926, and gave lectures on geography, rural education, and “The Problem of the Chinese Peasantry. ” +Zhou Enlai also taught here. +The atmosphere of 19th-century Canton is best evoked on Shamian Island, a haunting, nostalgic place in the Pearl River. +This small formerly residential island, beautifully shaded by banyan trees, was the home of the closed community of the foreign colony in the era of “concessions. ” +The bridges were barred by night with iron gates to keep the Chinese out. +Its stately European-style buildings have since been restored, largely for use as government offices and foreign legations. +The island also has Guangzhou’s first modern luxury resort hotel. +A popular optional excursion is an hour’s detour to Guangzhou Zoo, founded in 1958. +It houses more than 200 animal species, most famous of which is the giant panda, and has an imaginative monkey mountain behind a moat. +Not to be missed is a visit to Guangzhou’s famous open-air market, Qing Ping. +Guangzhou is famous for its food. +The Cantonese love to eat and have the reputation of eating almost anything that walks on four legs. +The market bears this out: Along with the usual ducks and chickens, you will see for sale snakes, dogs, bats, and sometimes monkeys — all are highly prized as delicacies. +More pleasantly, you can browse among lanes of antiques, flowers, herbs, fruit, goldfish, songbirds, and more. +A very popular day-trip from Guangzhou goes to Foshan, a city of nearly 300,000 people, renowned for its handicrafts for more than a thousand years. +The individual artisans’ shops are no longer here, but you can visit a silk-weaving factory, a ceramics plant, and the Foshan Folk Art Studio, where you can observe workers making Chinese lanterns, carving sculptures, painting scrolls, and cutting intricate designs in paper. +Foshan’s most outstanding artistic monument is Zu Miao, the Taoist Ancestral Temple, a Sung dynasty establishment rebuilt in the 14th century and well worth visiting. +You can walk around the peak for impressive views of Hong Kong, the coastline, and the islands in 45 minutes on Lugard and Harlech roads. +The complex contains the oldest wooden stage in China, used by the Wan Fu Tai Chinese opera. +Shenzhen was China’s first Special Economic Zone. +Literally created out of rural farmland, it was set up in the 1970s as the answer to Hong Kong. +From a population of 20,000 it has grown into a metropolis of 2.5 million, with tightly clustered skyscrapers and some of China’s highest grossing industries. +Because Shenzhen is much cheaper than Hong Kong, it is a popular weekend destination for Hong Kong’s Chinese, who come to relax, dine in its resorts, and play golf — Shenzhen hosted the World Cup of Golf in 1995. +It is even becoming something of a commuter town — owning or renting an apartment here costs a fraction of what it would in Hong Kong. +Shenzhen is easy to reach — the KCR commuter train runs throughout the day, the trip taking about 40 minutes. +Visitors need a visa to enter China, and must disembark at the border (now called “boundary”) checkpoint, Lo Wai. +A Turbo Cat ferry makes a one-hour trip (7am–7pm) from Hong Kong’s Macau Ferry Terminal to Shekou on the Natau Peninsula, which is part of the economic zone. +Shenzhen is a premier shopping center, and much cheaper than Hong Kong. +It is known for its inexpensive (but well-made) knock-off designer goods. +The view is especially effective at night. +You can use your Hong Kong dollars here, so there’s no need to change currency. +Some places take credit cards, but cash is better for bargaining. +Shenzhen’s main tourist attractions are its enormous theme parks. +There are also souvenir stands, benches for a rest, and perhaps Hong Kong’s last surviving rickshaws — however these are not for rides, but are a tourist photo opportunity. +It contains elaborate replicas of China’s chief monuments in impressive detail, including a scaled-down version of the Great Wall. +The 24 China Folk Culture Villages represent China’s ethnic variety; they feature craftspeople in traditional costumes along with folksong and dance performances. +In Shekou is a large Free Market, and an exhibition of Xian’s terra-cotta warriors. +If you’re up to a climb, take the Mount Austin road to the Victoria Peak Gardens. +These gardens used to belong to the governor’s mountain lodge, but the building was demolished by the Japanese during the occupation of Hong Kong. +From the lower terminal of the Peak Tram it’s only a short walk to the former governor’s residence, Government House, now a museum. +Across from the mansion, the Zoological and Botanical Gardens (gardens open daily 6am–10pm; zoo 6am–7pm; admission free) provide a welcome oasis amid the big-city pressures. +In the very early morning the park is taken over by people doing tai-chi exercises. +Both young and old go through ballet-like movements in slow motion to discipline the mind and body. +The park’s zoo has a collection of weird and wonderful chattering jungle birds. +The Western District is one of Hong Kong’s oldest neighborhoods, and its narrow streets hold a collection of fascinating traditional shops and enterprises. +It is more interesting for its architecture than for its shopping; it’s situated in a four-story Edwardian building built in 1906. +For an interesting glimpse of small and family-owned shops, walk along Bonham Strand East and West, Man Wa Lane, and Cleverly Street. +The big green-and-white boat weaves its way through an ever-changing obstacle course of both large and small craft, and the soaring skyline of Hong Kong Island draws nearer. +You’ll find herb and medicine shops, incense shops, chop makers’ shops (makers of Chinese seals), and more. +Hong Kong University’s campus is spread along Bonham Road. +When it opened in 1912, the university had a total of 72 students. +The University’s Fung Ping Shan Museum, 94 Bonham Road (open Monday–Saturday 9:30am–6pm, admission free) holds a significant collection of antiquities: bronzes, dating from 3000 b.c. , and ceramics, including Han Dynasty tomb pottery. +It also has the world’s largest collection of Nestorian crosses from the Yuan Dynasty period. +Take the Mid-Levels Escalator to Hollywood road, known for its antiques and curio shopping. +Here the windows and open doors of the shops reveal an alluring selection of Asian furniture, carpets, carvings, tomb figures, porcelain, and bronze. +Walk west along Hollywood Road until you come to Man Mo Temple, the island’s oldest house of worship (though the date of its founding is subject to dispute). +The gold-plated sedan chairs on the left-hand side of the temple were once used for transporting the statues of the temple’s gods in religious processions. +Contributions to the Annual Fund help us to prepare our master’s students with a thorough knowledge of their discipline, as well as the needed skills for success in the workplace. +They enable us to provide students with access to state-of-the-art technology and opportunities to attend professional colloquia, seminars, and conferences on and off campus. +Your support of the Graduate School’s Annual Fund is critical to maintaining the core values of GSAS: rigorous inquiry, the lifelong discovery of ideas, and our commitment to the ethics of scholarship. +We also hope you have been able to follow the public education campaign for our master’s programs in The New York Times and elsewhere, a sign of our belief in them. +Your gift reinforces our emphasis on these ideals that have distinguished the Graduate School of Arts and Science as a preeminent center for advanced learning since 1886. +I am grateful for your continued partnership in our pursuit of these shared values. +With best wishes, +Catharine R. Stimpson Dean +GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCE +Fall 2000 +Ms. FirstName LastName NumberStreetName Statename, StateZipCode +NEW YORK UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCE OFFICE OF THE DEAN +Dear Ms. LastName +Over the past year, the Graduate School of Arts and Science has seen record level contributions from its alumni and alumnae to the School’s Annual Fund. +As you read the enclosed Dean 's Report and Request, I hope you will consider how your support of the Graduate School’s Annual Fund shapes the lives of its faculty and students as it makes an impact on the depth and breadth of their NYU experience. +However, it reflects on a greater level both the desire of many Mayans to assimilate, as they still feel that is necessary for social mobility, and a belief among the general population that Mayans do not require a separate bill of rights as they are covered under the general rights already in the constitution (Warren 2002: 159, 172). +Illiteracy rates are in fact correlated with the Mayan language itself: those who speak Spanish are more likely to be literate than those who speak Mayan alone (England 2003: 733). +Therefore when considering the indigenous revitalization movements which began in 20th century Latin America, the impact of those indigenous languages on those movements and the nature of the identity of the peoples themselves is key. +Nonetheless, in 2003 the legislature passed the law of national languages, which while reaffirming Spanish as the official language, recognizes the importance of indigenous languages as part of national identity and encourages their active promotion. +This question of identity as defined by language manifests differently in Guatemala and Colombia. +Within the pan-Mayan movement, there remains a desire to maintain linguistic diversity: some view the reduction of their language to the status of "dialect" devalues their unique identity and place in the Mayan world; however, despite differences over standardization, the pan-Mayan movement itself is largely cohesive. +In contrast, Colombian indigenous groups are divided to the extent that linguistic diversity is not only valued, but serves to split the population, both between groups and within groups themselves. +An example is the Tukanoans: while considered a single “ethnic group”, they maintain 16 distinct language groups and practice linguistic exogamy, in which members of one language group must marry into another (Jackson 1995: 4). +Language further works to establish identity by encapsulating a worldview markedly removed from that of the dominant Western culture. +Indigenous cosmology, or “cosmovision”, is difficult to translate into Romanticized languages; it maintains a concept of culture, defined as “the form of behavior resulting from a permanent harmonic relationship with Nature” (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 58) and view of history as cyclic that is often at odds with Western modes of thought. +The differences between Western and native perceptions then lead to conflict within the revitalization movements themselves: the question of embracing Western law and discourse is continually grappled with. +Language plays a complex and integral role in the development and redefinition of an identity, particularly when that identity has been oppressed and subsumed by a dominant other for as long as that of the indigenous peoples in Latin America has. In particular I will examine two divergent yet remarkably parallel cases, that of the Maya in Guatemala and the Nasa and Guambiano peoples of Colombia. +Customary law in Colombia contrasts with Western law as it maintains a different perception of casual relationships: tying back to the indigenous concept of harmony, crimes are viewed as imbalances in the community's harmony and can often be traced back to those who did not perpetuate the crime, but may have influenced the accused to do so. +When a punishment - often public and corporal in nature - is carried out, the group feels the effects as a whole. +Shamans often sit with the criminal as he fills his sentence, sharing in their ordeal. +(Rappaport 2005) Once punishments are completed, the criminal is seen as rehabilitated, having fulfilled his duty to restore harmonic order, and is welcomed back into the community (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 61, Rappaport 2005: 97). +Translation of law into native languages has proved to be a difficult task, as Western ideas often have no parallel in indigenous cosmovision. +The translation of the Colombian constitution sparked the development of neologisms, as the goal of the translators was not to provide a direct translation of the constitution, but to recapture its spirit in a native, rather than Western discourse (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 58-59). +This provides a second interpretation of law distinct from that of the Spanish Colombian culture, and in turn an interpretation aligned with native ideology for the cabildos to follow when governing (Rappaport 2005: 93, 236). +Translation fulfills another vital role, as it is employed in the rediscovery of the indigenous identity itself. +Workshops and advocacy groups regularly work to translate native histories back into native forms of knowledge, distancing them from the Western influences that have invaded over the past six centuries. +The Guambiano history project charts native history as the outward spiraling events which are both cyclic and parallel in nature; Mayan historians translate and document oral histories whose legacy is in danger of being forgotten (Rappaport 2005: 165). +This attempt to regain identity via translation is indicative of the intimate relationship between indigenous revitalization within a modern context and native language use. +Difficulties arise, however, as conflicts between the traditional and modern and native languages and Spanish develop. +The differences between cosmovision in Spanish and indigenous languages are great, leading to the difficulty of governing in Spanish yet embracing indigenous mode of thought. +In addition, there exists a complex relationship between what are perceived as different levels of indigenous identity; the Nasa, for example, divide themselves into the traditional, modern, and new. +The authenticity of the modern Nasa, who are often metropolitan Spanish speakers attempting to reconnect with their roots, is brought into question by the traditional, who speak Nasa Yuwe and lead a rural existence(Rappaport 2005). +In Guatemala the fact remains that Spanish is the gateway to social mobility; years of conflict and refugee status have established the desire to leave a rural way of life for an updated urban one, and those literate in Spanish have the tools to do so. +Illiteracy and poverty is associated with Maya; thus there is the conflict between the desire to recapture the unique Mayan identity via the language and the need to improve living conditions, which most often occurs under Spanish influence. +Their struggle to attain status in societies still bearing the marks of Spanish colonialism is deeply tied to their struggle to reaffirm the nature of their “indigenous identity”, and is in turn linked to the interaction of Spanish and their native languages. +Politicians make a point of appearing in their native dress and speaking in their native language in assembly, even if they are more at home in a business suit and speaking Spanish; indigenous identity has become a calling card to the extent that at times it appears to be a caricature of itself. +The Colombian constitution is problematic in that it provides little guide as to what exactly forms an indigenous group; the concept of culture is so complex and divergent that establishing self-determination in the eyes of the Colombian government requires emphasizing differences. +Efforts towards development, then, cannot endanger traditional culture and values, for fear of losing cultural legitimacy (Jackson 1995: 5). +There develops a duality in native culture; for example, many Nasa children receive instruction in Nasa Yuwe yet converse in Spanish outside the classroom. +An emphasis on preserving, rather than practicing, native culture arises: indigenous authenticity is maintained by sustaining knowledge of traditional practices and beliefs without fully embracing them on a day-to-day basis (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 66-67). +This intersection of language and indigenous identity poses challenges which have yet to be fully addressed. +In Guatemala, they are largely comprised of the conflict between poverty and progress; the pan-Mayan movement must meet the dual trials of establishing a positive identity within the Mayan population itself and legitimacy in the legal and political arenas in order to gain policy reforms and codified rights in law. +In Colombia, legal successes have often come about due to the Colombian government's recognition of the political viability of the rhetoric of indigenous rights; by granting indigenous peoples judicial sovereignty they hope to win the trust of a people who view the government as incapable of protecting them from the ongoing civil strife, and by giving them blocks of land they hope that the indigenous community will be able to keep out drug traffickers and guerrillas where the government itself has not (Jackson 1995: 8). +Regardless of the ulterior motives behind their legal status, indigenous peoples in Colombia now possess the rights to teach and govern in their own languages according to their own laws (Jackson 1995: 5). +Works Cited +The effects of Spanish colonialism are both far-reaching and deeply embedded in both countries. +One of the most prominent, lasting influences is that of the land grant system. Initially the Spanish government attempted to instate the encomienda system, in which a conquistador maintained direct control over the indigenous peoples and their land. +Humans, in the process of defining themselves, look to immediately recognizable factors in order to differentiate themselves from others. +In reality land ownership rights were the exclusive right of the Spanish, resulting in modern-day malappropriation of land ownership in the hands of the descendants of the Spanish colonialists (Warren 1978, 7-8). Indigenous peoples are commonly sharecroppers or migrant workers. +The impoverished plight of the native populations was first recognized by the Marxist movements of the early 20th century. +Those were the first to articulate the necessity of affirming the independent identity of the indigenous populations; previously, both the left and right maintained a belief in indigenous assimilation into the dominant Spanish culture. +However, they also claimed that they were part of a larger group, the working class, whose poverty was a direct result of American imperialism; therefore they should join these new popular leftist movements in order to reorganize society into a worker-friendly one (Jackson 1995: 6-7). +In Colombia this resulted in a civil war between the Liberal and Communist parties and Conservative party. +A truce established between the Liberals and Conservatives failed to meet the demands of the Communists, who in turn sustained guerrilla attacks in response. +Guerrilla warfare has since become a part of Colombian life; multiple groups maintain an ongoing presence, often stationing themselves in the remote mountainous villages often populated by various indigenous peoples. +This process leads to the development of what can be broadly termed culture: a group of people joined by characteristics, traits, and beliefs comes to view themselves as sharing a distinct identity, discernible from that of those “outside” them, those who do not belong. +This resulted in persecution against the Mayans, who make up about 60% of the overall population. In both counties, guerrillas were often associated with the native peoples; in many cases there were coalitions, but in others the guerrillas merely used the remote, inaccessible villages as hideouts. +In Guatemala over 450 villages were destroyed, 200,000 Mayans were killed, and over 1 million more were displaced. +The main guerrilla force was demilitarized in 1996 with the establishment of a peace accord (Warren 2002: 157-158). +The growth in popularity and militarism of these popular leftist movements is intertwined with the development of the indigenous revitalization movements. +By the 1970s the need to assert a cause separate from the general left was seen, and indigenous rights movements formed (Warren 2003: 174, Jackson 2002: 82). +Central to these was the question of indigenous identity: +Most still speak it in various forms, and efforts by Mayan linguists to standardize the language are producing a coherent, modern version of Maya (England 2003: 733, 739). +The popular left, however, continues to see the rhetoric of ethnic rights as a politically viable tool. +The Pan-Mayan movement thus benefits from the lasting influence of the popular left on Guatemalan governmental policies without risking drawing the (often negative) attention of the government (England 2003: 735, Warren 2003: 181). +A main concern among pan-Mayanists is the reversal of the long-seated inferiority complex of the Mayan people; despite their position as majority within the Guatemalan population, they remain impoverished and marginalized on the fridge of society. +Naturally this can be signaled by any number of things - clothing, food, lifestyle choices. +This results in part from the ingrained influences of Spanish colonialism: Spanish continues to be associated with modernity and social mobility, whereas Maya is seen as backward and inferior. +Pan-Mayan leaders therefore seek to develop a return to Maya as it was in its classical renaissance, a language of power and prestige (England 2003: 736). +By doing so they hope to inculcate among the Mayan peoples a renewed sense of pride which will in turn reverse the dogma of Spanish superiority. +Colombia, in contrast, has no unified "pan-Indian" sentiments; the indigenous population is a small fraction of the overall population, a fractured entity divided by region and language. +Several competing and oftentimes conflicting indigenous rights advocacy groups have developed: the ONIC poses itself as the sole pan-Indian group, yet lacks legitimacy in the eyes of many indigenous peoples (Jackson 2002: 83, 85). +One of the most dominant and easily noted factors is language. +It often stands in conflict with the AICO, its Guambiano counterpart (Jackson 2003: 83-84). +Whereas the Mayanists benefit from a single main identity, those of Colombia must operate under historical differences between the various ethnic groups (Jackson 2002: 109). +The Nasa and Guambiano have stood in opposition since pre-colonial times; therefore any coalition between the two advocacy groups is tenuous at best (Rappaport 2005: 2). +The command of a language, while not affording guaranteed access to the community which speaks it, is often the key to gaining entry. +In the 1990s the rhetoric of "cultural diversity" was picked up the Colombian media, and subsequently entered the consciousness of the greater metropolitan public, thereby cementing its place in Colombian society as necessity and further complicating the role of indigenous movements in gaining rights for indigenous peoples as a whole. +A major success in the Colombian saga is the revamped constitution of 1991, which includes a section on indigenous rights, as the Congress which drafted it included representatives from native groups (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 57). +Central is a return to the old land grant system stemming from the repartimentos of the colonial era along with judicial sovereignty. +While the repartimento was originally used to repress the indigenous groups, it is now used to support them: resguardos, or communally owned plots of land, are granted to communities. +The return to customary law reflects a substantial shift in indigenous identity: +no longer ruled by Western laws and discourse, communities are forced to assess the efficacy of their old judicial systems in light of the modern era. +In turn communal identity can be formed around a language; it is used as the focal point around which the group gathers. +The oral nature of jurisprudence directly conflicts with the desire of the Colombian government to codify law, and questions of human rights violations are common as punishments are often corporal in nature (Gow and Rappaport 2002: 57-58). +The Colombian constitution stands in stark contrast to the failure of the Guatemalan indigenous rights referendum of 1999. +Mayans gained formal recognition in 1995 as the majority population in a precursor to the 1996 peace accord; by 1999 its government floated a referendum on an indigenous bill of rights resembling that codified in the Colombian constitution (Warren 2002: 157-158). +IT AUTHORIZES YOU TO START ENJOYING AMC’S OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IMMEDIATELY! +Our mission is great +With our volunteers, we maintain 1,400 miles of trails. +We provide overnight shelters (including the famous AMC Mountain Huts) to more than 80,000 hikers annually. +We built our first hut more than 100 years ago in New Hampshire’s northern Presidential Range, and we helped protect the White Mountains so that they are still open to you now. +And we offer the same hospitality atop beautiful Mt.

HawkNew York, NY 10128President/CEO www.aspca.org +As a person who cares about animals, you’re probably anxious to know what happened to Astro. +A neighbor reported Astro’s plight to the ASPCA and our Humane Law Enforcement officers went to investigate. +When our officers arrived, Astro was too weak to even stand up. +The officers knelt down slowly, speaking gently to the emaciated dog. +Then they saw it. +He was barely moving. +but yes -- the poor, sick dog was saying. +“Welcome, friends!” +The officers brought Astro to the ASPCA’s Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. +The dog weighted only 45 pounds -- less than half of what a dog his size should weigh -- and he had several infections. +But with first-rate medical attention and tender care from ASPCA staff, he slowly got well again. +Stories like Astro’s are all too common. +Every day, the ASPCA gets reports of animal cruelty, abuse, and neglect. +Every day, our officers rescue animals like Sammy, a 10-month-old kitten who was deliberately thrown from a high-rise window by teenagers. +In a world where cruelty is common, animals like Sammy and Astro desperately need friends like you. +That is why I have written to you -- to ask you to support the ASPCA today. +Our vital anti-cruelty efforts are just part of the ASPCA mission. We also find loving adoptive homes for rescued animals ... provide first-rate veterinary care through our Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital ... offer low-cost spay and neuter programs for cats and dogs ... reach out to children, teachers, and parents through our Education Programs. +His belly was empty. +So empty it hurt. +The ASPCA pushes for the passage and strengthening of anti-cruelty laws, so that crimes against animals will be treated with the seriousness they deserve. +Since the ASPCA was founded in 1866 as America’ s first humane society, ending cruelty has been our primary goal. +Today, over 130 years later, the scope of the problem is greater than ever. +The task is too large for the ASPCA to handle without emergency assistance from dedicated friends. +THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS +Please help the ASPCA with your most generous gift today -- the animals are counting on you. +Sincerely, Hawk, DVM and CEO +But then the puddle dried up. +P.S.We found Astro a wonderful adoptive home. +He is the pride and joy of this loving family!

+But today’s battle is one we must win ... to block a dangerous experiment that would begin to erase 50 years of steady progress eliminating pesticides and other harmful chemicals from our environment. +That’s why I hope you’ll also agree to help even more by making a tax-deductible gift to support this crucial initiative and all of Audubon’s vital conservation work to protect birds, other wildlife and habitat. +And who plans to commit such a mass bird killing? +And with a donation of $15 or more, you’ll receive a FREE Birdfeeder in appreciation for your concern. +I’ll make sure your gift is put right to work in our efforts to: +·Win a ban on the USDA bird poisoning. +·Gain strict enforcement of wildlife laws. +·Ensure wildlife programs are based on sound science. +·Monitor the health of Audubon’s WatchList species. +·Conserve America’s remaining grassland habitat. +And Audubon will draw upon its century-long track record of highly effective conservation work to make a real difference in other key areas: +The U.S. Department of Agriculture! +Audubon protects birds. +Your help will be instrumental to our bird conservation work: designating Important Bird Areas to protect vital habitat ... maintaining the WatchList of bird species near endangered status (www.audubon.org/ bird/watch) ... and engaging citizen participation in the vast BirdSource database of North American bird trends. +Audubon rescues endangered wildlife. +Nearly 25 years ago, the National Audubon Society helped win passage of the Endangered Species Act. +With your help, Audubon will remain committed to wildlife laws and regulations that are well funded, properly implemented, and strongly enforced. +Audubon establishes and protects wildlife refuges and sanctuaries. +“Audubon is truly making a difference for wildlife refuges everywhere” +And your support will help sustain our innovative Audubon Refuge Keepers program, and maintain our own network of more than 100 wildlife centers and sanctuaries. +I’m outraged ... +Audubon restores wetlands. +Wetlands are not only crucial to wildlife ... they also help purify our drinking water and prevent billions of dollars worth of flood damage. +Your gift today will help us reach our goal to restore one million acres of irreplaceable wetlands. +Audubon educates the public. +Teaching Americans --particularly young people -- how to become better stewards of our environment is one of the best investments that you and I can make for wildlife. +That’s why we’re expanding our network of Audubon Centers to reach children and adults in every corner of the nation. +And of course, your support will enable Audubon to stand ready to act whenever a wildlife crisis emerges --like the USDA’s bird poisoning proposal that I’m asking you to help us defeat today! +So let me urge you to do your part by supporting a group that the San Francisco Chronicle calls “one of America’s most respected and influential conservation organizations. +First,sign and return your Petition to the Secretary of Agriculture immediately, to declare a firm and resounding “NO!” +“NO!” +to the USDA’s bird poisoning plan. +And I also hope you’ll take a second important step today, by supporting Audubon’s vital conservation work with a generous tax-deductible gift. +Thank you. +Very truly yours, +John Flicker President +P.S.Your gift will help us save birds, other wildlife and their habitat for future generations to cherish. +and I think you will be, too!

Take it through analysis, if there is some benefit in it for you." +Take it through analysis, if there is some benefit in it for you." +Religion, he said, is like a drugstore full of medicine. +You do not go to the drugstore and buy everything in it--you just buy what would be beneficial to you now. +You believe the other medicine may have just as much value, but in other situations, not this one. +When we talked about the giving, and how one should try to give what one could to other sentient beings (in the form of material items, kind words, protection, and so on), Khenpo Kalsang shared a story of the Buddha, and how the Buddha had given his flesh so that a family of hungry tigers could eat. +The gentle wind makes them flutter. +"So," +"Giving one's life for another being is the ultimate gift?" +Khenpo Kalsang, he smiled, and shook his head. +"Only if you feel no regret," +"Only if you feel no regret," he said. +Tibetan Buddhist Retreat +Orange-gold light filters into the grassy meadow, touching a row of canvas tents and the temple house beyond. +"If you feel regret, it destroys the merit." +Until then, preserve your own life, and do not give away anything that would cause you regret. +This struck a chord. +She had studied psychology for a while in grad school, but now holds the view that psychologists are going about understanding the mind and understanding the knower and what knowing is the wrong way. +"Psychologists," she said, "study the brain and the self externally. +"study the brain and the self externally. Ever since the 1920s, their science has been about observation of behavior, questionnaires, recordings of electrical brain activity. But the mind can only be known by you, the person whose mind it is." +But the mind can only be known by you, the person whose mind it is." +A big overlap exists between Tibetan Buddhism, psychology and cognitive science. +All three examine the distinction between the self and others, between the observer and the observed, between knowing and the knower. +Tsechen Kunchab Ling : Temple of All-Encompassing Great Compassion. +Tibetan Buddhist philosophy also approaches the mind and the self from the inside. +During a second philsophy session, Khenpo Kalsang translated a sutra about a king who received advice from the Buddha. +This sutra delved into some questions about the nature of the self, whether the self is a delusion, and how the clinging of self is a defilement. +I intend to discuss it in more depth later, so stay tuned. +This is the seat of His Holiness the Sakya Trizin in the United States, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery established nine years ago. +Compassion training and prayer flags +In the afternoon, a group of us gathered outside for a meditation session with Ani Kunga. +Sunshine melted lazily through the tree branches above, a breeze animating the branches' shadows so they danced between our cushions. +Compassion and anger were the session's topics. +The key message: +"If there's something you can do, why are you unhappy? +"If there's something you can do, why are you unhappy? Just do it. If there's nothing you can do, why are you unhappy?" +Just do it. +If there's nothing you can do, why are you unhappy?" +Ani Kunga explained several off-session and one on-session technique for dealing with negative emotions (anger, hate, irritation, stress, jealousy, and so on). +All the methods built off the idea that you are in control: anger is an emotion, and you can change your emotions. +Stay tuned for a more in-depth post on the topic. +"Prayers, wishes, hopes, aspirations--someone, many people, may share those with you. Hanging the prayer flag shares your prayer with everyone else in the world. This may do no good at all, but it may--if everyone hopes and wishes and dreams and aspires, perhaps it will do good. It may not. But if no one shares their prayers, it will certainly do no good.

this semester, one of my friends told me she was going: I should join her! +I like learning new things, so I signed up. +They suggested that what you believe about self-control affects the goals you set and achieve [PDF]. +I'm not one to make New Year's resolutions. +In the paper, "self-control" is used to mean a sense of willpower. +"self-control" +Mukhopadhyay & Venkatarmani discuss various lay theories of self-control, noting that the amount of self-control a person has can be seen as either an inherently limited or unlimited resource, and that this resource can be seen either as malleable or as fixed (the amount of self-control a person has can change over time, or not). +I mean, sure, I could take my pick of popular New Year's resolutions ; I could decide, on the first day of the new year, that this year, I'll start exercising more and eating better, or that I'll spend more time with my family and friends, or that I'll learn a new skill. +An important premise to note here is the idea that the probability of choosing a goal or making a resolution increases if a person thinks that goal can be attained. +So if you think you'll be able to achieve a goal, you're more likely to set it. +Combine this with theories of self-control, and in general, if you believe you have unlimited stores of self-control, you'll set a larger number of goals. +If you believe self-control is malleable but limited, you'll set fewer goals. +Mukhopadhyay & Venkatarmani also discuss self-efficacy: belief in one's capabilities, the perceived ability to carry out a desired action. +Self-control, Self-efficacy, and New Year's Resolutions Unresolved +The studies +In the first study, 85 participants (all college students) each read one of four passages presenting lay theories of self-control. +Each passage contained two paragraphs; the first discussed self-control either as limited or as unlimited, and the second discussed self-control as either malleable or fixed. +The participants then answered questions about their belief in each of two theories presented, followed by a second questionnaire to assess motivation, in which they listed all their current goals. +The study was testing whether a belief in unlimited, malleable self-control would result in most resolutions, and indeed, this is what was found. +The experimenters had some concerns about participants' natural beliefs in relation to the passages they read, however, so in study two, the order of the two measures (lay theories and motivation/goal listing) was varied. +Data from 130 new participants revealed that, as hypothesized, if the motivation & goals questionnaire were assessed first, then among the people who believed self-control is malleable, those who also believed self-control to be unlimited (vs. +limited) set more goals. +When lay theories were assessed first, this result reversed. +The people who believed that self-control is fixed were unaffected by order. +The third study moved on to examine goal achievement, adding a measure to look at self-efficacy. +The study had two sessions, in November then February. +In the first session , the 159 participants read passages about lay theories (much like in study one, but with longer passages to strengthen the manipulation), listed the resolutions they were planning on making at New Years, rated how disappointed they would be if they failed to keep their resolutions, and filled out individual difference measures (which included a self-efficacy scale). +And if I chose to make resolutions, I'd be far from alone--a 2008 survey on Dorthy.com found that 66% of the 2000+ adults polled had made resolutions at some point (though only 17% managed to keep them). +Only 86 participants successfully returned for the second session, during which they indicated how much success they had had at keeping their resolutions. +What does this mean for your resolutions? +The resolutions made by participants across all conditions were qualitatively similar (take a look at any list of popular New Year's resolutions, and you'll see the majority of the goals). +As shown in the first two studies, more goals were set by people who believe self-control is unlimited and malleable than by any other people--that is, if you expect more success, you may increase the difficulty and number of tasks that you set for yourself. +Self-efficacy did not have a significant effect on goal-setting. +As far as success goes, only the interaction between lay theory and self-efficacy was significant. +If participants believed in limited self-control and were low in self-efficacy, they tended to give up more often, failing to achieve their goals. +But if participants believed in unlimited self-control, self-efficacy had no effect; participants achieved just as many goals regardless, and people who set more resolutions were marginally more likely to succeed. +Mukhopadhyay & Venkatarmani realize that their research does not directly look at the relationship between lay theories of self-control and beliefs about one's own amount of self-control and self-efficacy, and propose this as an area for future study. +But in general, lay theories about self-control can determine how much success you'll expect (and thus, how many goals you'll set), and self-efficacy beliefs can determine how much success you'll actually have. +References +Mukhopadhyay, A. & Johar, G.V.

Chad said. +You suck. +He looked around, trying not to seem nervous. +Chad checked the other fort out of the corner of his eye. +He wished Roy wouldn't fall for that gag every time, "get me a big rock, Roy." +Two forts stood on the playground, and a hot, bare battlefield separated them. +A massive, rusted A-frame swing marked the border though nobody was swinging in the hot sun. +The larger of the two forts was a squat black bunker made of tires, two big tractor tires capped with one from a truck and two smaller ones from cars. +The older boys lay around in shade and napped inside the walls. +They were watching now from well defended spy holes, or maybe they were performing secret experiments and swearing bloody oaths. +Chad wished he were old enough to be one of them. +Maybe Tucker would let him in after he saw Chad wasn't chicken. +"You wanna play robots?" Roy asked. +You wanna play robots? +Chad felt his heart beat a little faster and his cheeks burned. +He had invented the "robots" game to make fun of Roy, but Roy had never figured that out either. +Roy stooped to pick up a big, white caliche rock that looked like a dirty lump of chalk and handed it to Chad. +It was Roy's favorite game. +No, go get some stickers. +Roy shuffled off without argument, his baseball cap pulled low to cover his bald head and brain plug and his shoe laces untied. +Roy had taught him to tie his shoes when Chad was five. +He thought about gathering stickers himself. +Roy was too slow, but he didn't dare step away from his fort. +He took another careful look over his shoulder and bent to pluck a yucca spear as if that were what drew his interest. +The long blade of the yucca had a sharp tip, but the only weapons allowed according to Humpty Dumpty Nursery rules of engagement were smelly thistles or cocklebur stems covered with spiked yellow stickers. +The tiny barbs hurt, but nobody was allowed to beat you up if you just used stickers. +The hot August sun was settling toward the time that Mrs. Rayburn would bring the milk tray out of the cinder block building where the toddlers and babies were kept. +Meanwhile Roy stalked around the fence edge bending to pick cockleburs as he went. +Chad took the rock with disgust as Roy returned to staring at his shoes. +Every move Roy made since the accident was smooth and sudden and strange -- like a remote control boy. +When he saw Roy in the hospital with a shaved head and the small silver plug at the back of his noggin like a bottle cap, Chad had called him, "Remote Control Boy." +Momma had smacked Chad for saying it which hurt, and then she had cried, which was worse. +Pop had given Chad the sideways glance that promised hard labor when they made it home. +He knew it was too late to explain that he was trying to get a smile out of Roy. +Pop said, "The doctors have put something very special in Roy's brain. +The doctors have put something very special in Roy's brain. +It's something they made for soldiers and astronauts and it's going to help Roy walk and talk to us again. +Chad was six, and at eight Roy should have been teasing or ordering Chad around or something. +Pop put a hand on Roy's shoulder. +How are you feeling, Roy? +Pop spoke slowly and Chad knew that he must have been practicing this with Roy. +They all stood around while the doctor made Roy shake and jerk and moan with a sick sound. +But the thing in his head hadn't worked yet because of something having to do with the, "electric toads," which wouldn't, "sit up." +Roy didn't really start talking for days and didn't walk until a long time after that. +Now, this year, Roy was in the same grade as Chad, and it was embarrassing. +Just then Tucker Williams came climbing out of the top of the black fort like a gold headed monster. +Tucker was big, even for a third grader, and he was not quite right in a different way than Roy. +Tucker was the oldest boy in the playground, and the one who decided the rules of the game. +But since his fall the year before, Roy had been shuffling and doing what he was told. +"Time out!" +Time out!" Chad called, "We're not ready yet. +We're not ready yet. +Several more boys spewed out after him. +Roy! +Roy!" Chad called, but his voice would only whisper +He didn't want to be a crybaby, Tucker hated crybabies. +The rules of the game were that Chad had to keep everyone away from his fort and away from his tumbleweed flag. +From painful experience, he knew it wasn't going to be as easy as just pretending he was too slow or too weak to do anything. +Going down too easy would only make him mad, so Chad reached behind him to grab the five stickers he had managed to collect before the start of the game and readied himself. +The boys came in quick from all sides, knocking Chad down, but he managed to roll to his feet and get one sticker off into a boy's arm before being knocked down again. +Baby! +Tucker was standing over him with the huge tumbleweed held high in the sun. +Penis! +Chad tried to tell his arms to lift him and let him reach for the tumbleweed to prove he wasn't a baby to Tucker. +I'll make you fight. +Tucker leaned in low and his breath was sour as it blew in Chad's face. +I'm gonna take the plug out. +Then Tucker's face became serious. +From his pocket he pulled a small screwdriver, perfect for prying plugs from boy's heads. +Now Chad's legs and arms and mouth worked, and he was up and running and screaming, "Roy, go inside! Roy!" +Roy, go inside! +Roy! +He sprinted for the corner of the building around which Roy had disappeared. +The door was on that side and Mrs. Rayburn. +Just then a horrible pain stung Chad's cheek and neck and ear. +The tumbleweed's yellow thorned branches scratched around him as it dug into his face. +He wished he were there now, even if he did have to sit next to Roy. +He ran like only a small boy can run, but he was losing and he wished hard that he could fly. +Roy! +Chad rounded the corner grabbing the cinder block to help him turn faster just as Tucker came down again with the tumbleweed from behind, and the world slowed almost to a stop. +Roy stood with the bill of his cap down. +His head rose and his eyes focused over Chad's shoulder. +Roy held stickers in his hand like flowers, but he bent looking down and snatched something from the ground. +His hand blurred and snapped out as he stood back up. +Something whined as it spun past Chad's ear, and he heard a sharp, meaty thunk just behind him. +The rock was too big to fit into the iron hub of the big cable spool, so Chad leaned it against the tumbleweed and slid down off the splintery wood on his belly to admire his handiwork. +Hey, Roy? +Tucker towered there with a surprised expression and crossed eyes, the tumbleweed in one hand and the screwdriver held up high in the other ready to stab down into Chad's back. +A sharp, flat, flint rock split Tucker's forehead and was buried deep and solid like a part of a Halloween costume complete with a drop of blood just starting down toward his nose. +Tucker dropped down like a jacket from a hook. +Yeah. +Chad stepped back away from Tucker's open-eyed face. +I thought he might stab you. +Do you think he's dead? +Just then Tucker blinked and began to sob. +"Nah." Chad said, "We're gonna be in trouble." +Nah. +We're gonna be in trouble. +"Yeah." Roy said. +Yeah. +Suddenly his blank face seemed like the face of a Play Force Soldier or a GI Joe. +Hey, Roy? +What? +It was all right. +The fort was a lone, wooden cable spool like a tall barrel with thick disks on its ends, each the size of a dinner table. +The sufferer says no, only those which cause no pain. +And the artist says no, only those which cause the most pain, for those would be the truest memories. +So I shall soothe my quarreling selves with a compromise. +I will not talk of the first time Tasha and I tried any act of sex or sport together. +I can remember similar things with others. +Is that love? +Probably not. +But it is something marvelous and rare, which is surely a sign of love. +If my love for her was the only important thing, I would leave a holo of her with a note: "Dear Future, this is Tasha Cortez. +"Dear Future, this is Tasha Cortez. +You loved her. +Tasha and I walked through The Sleeping Flamingo together, and I decided to buy it. +Mama kept her mink jacket, a family hand-me-down, safe from time in a stopbox, and lent the capturador to my uncle for his stamp collection. +Then -- +This is not easy. +But I have learned something: writing trivializes. +The Tasha who was is not the Tasha in this file. +The Tasha in this file is not even the Tasha I loved and thought I knew. +The Tasha in this file would walk through a net show in half an hour, including commercials, and just before an ad for Figuero's Flash Diapers -- Keeps Baby Driest! +, she -- +Tasha is not the whole of what happened on Vega IV. +I must also write about Emiliano Gabriel Malaquez. +I have been re-reading all our favorite books -- +Published in Double Feature by Emma Bull and Will Shetterly (NESFA Press, 1994). +But neither of us care to dwell on such boring subjects, do we? +I want to pick up with Tasha and me walking about The Sleeping Flamingo, and then, for the sake of literary convenience, to say that from a corner of the yard I saw a neighboring house, and the sight filled me with darkest forebodings. +But the truth is that Tasha pointed it out from the one place where it could barely be seen, and I only felt envy that it had been designed by someone with understated good taste. +"Who lives there?" +I asked. +"No one," +"No one," Tasha replied. +Sometimes they would let us little ones to seal a treasured toy or a last piece of birthday cake until we begged them for its release, usually a few hours after enclosing it. +Truth is always more boring than fiction. +For Malaquez did not move into Dream's End until four or five months after I -- we? +how does one speak to one's future self? +-- occupied The Flamingo. +I do not plan to write a book: this narrative must move more quickly. +Consoling her, I began to suspect I loved her. +I moved into The Flamingo the next day; and she gave up her apartment three weeks later to join me. +It was the sort of romance that happens so rarely that most people believe it does not happen at all, the sort of romance that sustains the hopeless billions who regularly watch A Wandering Star Called Love. +(Which is to say, you and me, Future Self.) +She was a twenty-four-year-old (Terran Standard) N'Apulcan who left university training in hydroponics to work for her aunt's real estate firm. +Her family said she did it to support her father, who was dying of a particularly painful degenerative disease. +Tasha said she woke up one morning convinced that if she spent another day studying vegetables, she would become one. +She did not like my plays. +I had impressed her because I was famous and amusing and not, as I had hoped, because I was a great artist. +That bothered (yes, and intrigued) me until I realized that she was bored by most plays, movies, and vid. +She did not like being a spectator. +I often told her that she should have a bio-check to see if she suffered from some metabolic imbalance. +I often told her too many things. +Search "Emiliano Malaquez" and you'll find he's a master of the "captured moment" school of sculpture. +Even The Terran Times has only praise for his work. +When my father died, a year after my mother, my sisters and I cleaned out their apartment. +To compare his pieces to those of others is to compare mannequins to living models. +He accents the illusion of reality --I paraphrase his entry in La Enciclopedia Humanica --by doing life-size scenes in "the full round," never the easier frontal or three-quarters view. +Moreover, he never did portraits of famous people; his works were therefore the reality and could never be compared to it. +As is typical of his school, his pieces are sealed in stopboxes. +The shimmer of light on their surfaces always reminds us that we're looking at an instant snatched from under the hooves of time. +They say the cubes will outlast planets and suns, that when the universe dies, the works of Malaquez and his followers will be the last things seen in the final wink of God's eye. +Yes, Self, I am also bothered that this observation ignores half-eaten cheese sandwiches, incomplete insect collections, and locks of infants' hair, forgotten in closets, basements, and warehouses. +We found our baby shoes protected in stopboxes. +You see the inspiration for my latest play, "Captured Moments." +The mindwipe will take its creation from my future self --but time too often does that without aid. +The play's second act concludes with the last fight between Tasha and me. +I have disguised us in the play, and deleted one brief melodramatic interchange. +I took mine home, where they sat above my computer while I worked on my first play. +Now I will mention it, in case I/You decide to restore it. +Shortly before she left, Tasha said, "You steal from life for art, Bernardo. +You'll impoverish yourself." +I only snarled at her and -- +My story leaps ahead of itself. +Let me retreat and retrench: +One night during N'apulco's mild winter, Tasha returned to The Flamingo, saying, "Nardo! +"Nardo! +Nardo! +Guess what?" +My mind was on other things. +"You wish to become pregnant? +I suppose I could assist a friend. +Purely for the sake of the race, of course --" +"Ever the altruist. +"My guess." +She batted at my nose like a cat. +"Silly Nardo." +"Emil Malaquez is buying the house up the hill." +One night when I did not believe love had ever existed for anyone, I used my own capturador, a sleek titanium Sanyo Tardar Ahora, to undo the stopbox. +"Oh." +"You don't know who he is?" +"Well..." +"Nardo!" +One of the many things I liked about her was that she often thought me shockingly ignorant. +"That's, uh..." +I am never so quick-witted in person as I am on the page. +Especially when someone thinks me shockingly ignorant. +"You know, the sculptor. +He's had shows in Brazil and New Madrid and everywhere! +He may be more famous than you." +"Imagine that." +I remembered an article in The Medusa and a photo of a work in which 100-peso notes fell like confetti onto a small Undersider, sexlessly young in grimy, oversized clothing. +The child's face was a warground for wonder and mistrust. +Imprisoned light from forgotten streetlamps snagged itself on metal threads in the fluttering pesos. +The stars themselves might have fallen on the Undersider and the event would have been no less strange, no less miraculous. +"A great artist will grace this world, then?" +"Nardo!" +She was never tolerant of my ego. +"Well. +What's this more-famous-than-me person like?" +"I didn't meet him, jealous old one." +"Too bad. +If I thought he could free me from you --" +"Hah!" +She wrapped her arms around my stomach. +The next evening, she arrived with a stack of glistening stopboxes containing sushi, sashimi, oysters in their shells, and Terran vegetables fresh plucked from their hydroponic beds. +Wondering about the reason for her extravagance, I asked how work had gone that day. +Bringing my face close to the shoes, I breathed deeply of air that my parents had trapped while closing up that symbol of their love for me. +"Emil came in. +He's taking Dream's End." +"Emil?" +"You've no memory left, old one. +Emil Malaquez." +"Ah. +You did that to test my affections." +"What?" +"Calling him by his first name. +I did that in a comedy once. +'Nights with Karl and Groucho.' +It was before your time." +"Oh." +"The critics liked it." +"I'm glad." +A moment later: "That's not why I called him 'Emil'." +"That's not why I called him 'Emil'." +"No?" +"No. +We lunched together. +He's nice." +"Oh." +"It wasn't like that." +"Of course. +Still, it wasn't like that. +You think I sleep with every famous person I meet?" +As you may have guessed, we had talked about such things. +I do not claim ours was a perfect affair, only a wonderful one. +"Tasha --" +"No." +"Good. +I invited him to dinner tomorrow." +"Oh?" +You say we're becoming too insular, that we need to socialize --" +"I've socialized for sixty-three years." +"Nardo?" +"Yes?" +"How should I reply?" +Her voice had grown quiet, and I began to feel some guilt. +I had, it is true, told her that we needed other company than our own. +I said this from years of learning that romances consume themselves without other fuel. +But knowing this did not mean I wanted it. +I said, "Truthfully." +"Truthfully." +It was the statement of a younger and crueler man than I. +She screamed, "I haven't socialized with Terra's elite for most of my life! +The instant would have been improved had my baby shoes been cleaned before they were encased. +I haven't socialized with hardly anyone for hardly any of my life! +And I invite a neighbor, one nice, lonely man --" +"I'm sorry." +" --who took me to -- What?" +"I'm sorry. +Truly." +"Oh." +She studied me as a suspicious puppy might, then said, "I'm sorry, too." +"I suppose I sound like I'm bragging when I talk of the things I'm tired of." +"Only because you are." +I had to grin, so I did. +"True." +"He may come to dinner?" +"If you wish, he may be dinner." +"I love you." +"And I, you." +Months earlier, we might have sought a bed, a couch, or a comfortable chair at this point. +Instead, I asked, "Is he handsome?" +"Is he handsome?" +"You're jealous." +"A tiny bit. +Extremely." +"Content yourself, old one. +He's four inches shorter than I, his nose is big and broken, and --" +But as soon as I coughed, I laughed, and I did not try to kill myself that night. +"This is cosmetic?" +"He's not that ugly. +I think they're his natural features." +"Interesting." +"You could write a play about someone like him." +"I think his face is his form of vanity. +Old men should be fat." +"Is Emil?" +"Yes." +"I am jealous. +I'll eat two dinners tonight. +Five deserts." +She giggled. +And then we did make love. +I've been thinking about the mindwipe, now two days away. +Who said that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it? +I fear that may be true for me. +Add this to the reasons I write now: to remember something, perhaps even to learn -- +This work is hereby released into the Public Domain. +Emil Malaquez arrived after sundown, carrying a small package wrapped in what looked like real paper. +His evening dress was formal, expensive, and slightly stained, as that of all forgetful artists should be. +He was a jovial man with an easy laugh, and even uglier than Tasha had suggested. +I liked him immediately. +"Señor Malaquez?" +"Please. +Call me Emil. +You must be Bernardo. +Let me begin again. +"All of it outrageous praise?" +He raised an eyebrow, then guffawed. +"Has she said as much about me?" +"She thinks you are a genius. +Do come in." +"Thank you." +Stepping into the living room, he said, "A beautiful house." +"A beautiful house." +"I'm glad you came after dark." +Tasha, by accident or design, had found an innocently erotic posture on the couch, where she lay with a book of M'duvian prints. +"Emil!" +She leapt up. +"I did not expect you --" +"So early?" +It's unforgiveable, but you're forgiven." +She nodded at the package. +"What's that?" +"For your kindness in inviting a stranger into your home." +"Oh!" +Tasha snatched it from him to rip away the paper. +I stopped writing, and only the thought that I might miss the mindwipe kept me from another spree. +I walked from this hotel to the old city, past the end of the slidewalks and softwalks to the hard, cracked pavement of City Park. +But Undersiders left me alone. +Perhaps they recognized a fellow ghost. +The side of Malaquez's parcel gave way to reveal a greenmunk caught in a sheen of solid air. +Bits of leaf mold flew from under his feet as he ran to greet a friend or a bringer of food. +Last year, I rented a small house on Vega IV, a sea world, all islands and reefs and archipelagos, turquoise waters and aquamarine skies, sunrises like symphonies and sunsets like stars gone supernova. +Tasha oohed in awe. +I said, "Frodo's been visiting you, eh?" +"Frodo's been visiting you, eh?" +Malaquez said, "Your pet?" +"Your pet?" +"Hardly. +I suppose he was attracted to the commotion up the hill." +"Ah," +"Ah," Malaquez said. +"Why 'Frodo'?" +"A little fellow with big, furry feet. +She handed the sculpture to me. +I almost dropped it; I expected it to weigh no more than a holo. +"Heavy," +"Heavy," I said, as if he might not have known. +He laughed. +"My last piece was of four old Undersiders crouched around a trash fire. +He spoke of his art with the enthusiasm of a seven-year-old. +"A confession, and then a request. +It's not easy for me to ask a favor." +"Relax," +"Relax," I said. +"It's easy for me to turn one down." +He glanced at me and decided I was joking. +The surprising thing is that I was. +"Good. +My last show --" +" --was glorious!" +Tasha said. +" --was kindly received," +" --was kindly received," he said. +"But an artist who would stay first among his fellows can tell when he begins to fail." +I hoped no one would bring up my last three plays. +"I must change my subject matter. +No more urchins, dopers, vagrants, or whores. +I want to do more traditional portraits." +He spoke quickly, prepared to be rejected. +I would pay --" +"Never," I said. +"Ah." +He shrugged lightly. +"Nardo!" +"It's an honor --" +"Of course," +"Of course," I said. +"That's why I cannot take payment." +"Oh? +Oh! +Thank you!" +Malaquez turned to Tasha. +"And you as well? +Perhaps the two of you together?" +Her eyes became circles at the idea of being, as she undoubtedly thought it, immortalized by Emil Malaquez. +There's only one city: called Nuevo Acapulco in La Enciclopedia del Empirio de la Humanidad, it's N'apulco to the locals. +Catching herself, she said casually, "Oh..." And then she smiled, laughed loudly at herself in the way that always made me think how much I loved her, and said, "My God, yes, yes, yes!" +"Oh..." +"My God, yes, yes, yes!" +For a perfect moment, Emil and Tasha and I were one entity, laughing until our lungs hurt. +This is torture. +I had not considered that I might not write to learn, but to punish myself. +Let me abuse the playwright and dismiss the penultimate scene in a few sentences: After giving Emil full rights to a sculpture of Tasha and me, we had a good dinner of curried clam chowder, lobsters boiled on Terra and unstopped still steaming on N'Apulco, and cinnamon custard for desert. +To view a copy of the public domain dedication, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 559 Nathan Abbott Way, Stanford, California 94305, USA. +I had drunk too much, I confess, though we all had. +Somehow, Tasha and I began to argue the worth of Solevgrad jazz, as inconsequential a topic as I can imagine. +She had studied it in school, so she thought herself as an expert. +I once had a neighbor who played it constantly, loudly, and badly, so I thought I knew it better. +Malaquez tried to mediate, but I saw him as siding with Tasha. +So, I think, did she. +The subject shifted from music to Tasha's obsession with fame, undoubtedly by a leap that I made. +She had no choice but to follow. +(I do not remember any of this well, just now, nor do I care to. +The N'apulcans are mostly emigrants from Polaris II; the only difference between them and their Carribbean ancestors is that the ancestors fleeced NorAm tourists. +Those who are truly curious may look at the last act of "Captured Moments." +) I remember suggesting, with characteristic tact, that she add Emil to her small list of major accomplishments. +Malaquez glanced away, embarrassed. +Tasha looked at me as if to say, "I will." +"I will." +She said, "I feel sorry for you, Nardo. +"I feel sorry for you, Nardo. +"Yes," +"Yes," I said, "Do that," and did not care what she did, or why. +"Do that," +Emil asked, "You're all right?" +"You're all right?" +I muttered something he must have interpreted as assent. +They both walked up to Emil's home while I watched the scarlet moonlight ripple on distant waves. +Disgusted with Tasha but more disgusted with myself, I finally realized she would not return that night and went into The Sleeping Flamingo to drink myself to sleep. +She had not come home when I woke in mid-morning. +I waited, and drank a glass of MorningAfter and three cups of coffee, and wondered whether our affair could survive the events of the night, and whether I wanted it to. +Perhaps I should have invited Emil to stay, but even then I knew that sex was not the problem between Tasha and me. +The problem was that I have trouble distinguishing between compromise and capitulation, between symbols and substance. +Shortly before noon, I climbed the sandy path to Dream's End, rehearsing my apology, slowing only to pluck burrs from between my sandals and my feet. +Malaquez answered the door in blood-red pajamas and a black silk robe. +Sixty years ago in a similar situation, I had broken my knuckles on someone's face. +I merely said, "Is Tasha here?" +"Is Tasha here?" +Now the N'apulcans profit from their Hispanic siblings. +He pursed his lips slightly, then nodded. +"Yes." +"May I see her?" +When he hesitated, I said, "Last night was my fault. +"Last night was my fault. +I hold it against neither of you. +Let me talk to her." +"I --" +"Please." +He looked me and at last said, "Very well." +"Very well." +We walked through his house in silence. +A tall, narrow stopbox stood in the center of one room; sand trickled forever downward while beads of water splashed across the sand's path. +But then, I was in no mood to consider art. +I only wanted to despise the man who had slept with my lover. +That was easier than despising myself. +I don't mean to sound cynical. +He paused before a bedroom door. +"I should go in first. +I smiled. +Go ahead. +Tell her..." +I shrugged. +"Tell her I love her." +I suppose I wish to show that I'm still capable of a certain authorial distance, a semblance of dispassionate observation. +He studied me, then said, "I'm sorry things happened this way, Bernardo. +"I'm sorry things happened this way, Bernardo. +I didn't anticipate last night --" +"I'm very good at making things happen this way. +But if Tasha will forgive me --" +He nodded, repeated, "I am sorry," then slipped into the next room. +"I am sorry," +I waited in the dark, carpeted hall. +I heard no voices until Malaquez said, "Enter." +"Enter." +Sunlight filled Malaquez's bedroom. +Tasha lay sprawled nude on a rumpled bed. +Her skin seemed as smooth and as polished as the bed's teak frame. +She was looking slightly to my left, smiling with trust and satisfaction like one sexually content. +Malaquez stood near her, pointing something at my chest. +Though the morning sun shone fully on both of them, it shimmered around Tasha. +The part of my mind that remembered four months in NorAm during the Great Cleaning sent me rolling across the floor. +Malaquez was not prepared for me to react so quickly, or perhaps he waited too long for an expression I would not have, a gesture I would not make, a poignant moment of repentence, wonder, despair, or love. +The following events may indicate otherwise. +Had he been faster, he could have had rage. +I threw a chair at him. +As he fell, I scrambled onto him, my knees pinning his arms, my fingers probing his neck. +"Where is she? +Tell me, or I'll kill --" +He began to cry. +"She left. +Earlier this morning --" +Her clothes lay by the cube enclosing the bed. +I hit him with the back of my hand. +"Tell me, Malaquez." +"She wanted to be famous. +She did! +He seemed to expect me to understand. +"Where!" +I demanded, squeezing his throat until he began jerking his head madly at the sculpture. +I stared at the naked Tasha. +Most of his story I have pieced together since, but I understood enough as I knelt on his chest with my hands tight on his fleshy throat. +He had made his name with a home capturador. +He began with small animals and moved on to derelicts and Undersiders, people who would never be missed. +Now he had thought to use vacationers like Tasha and me, and when someone came looking, he would say we had gone island-hopping in our windboat. +Our boat would disappear into the ocean to be found or not as the wind and tides chose. +Mine was The Sleeping Flamingo, and its outer walls were coral pink. +His story would stand in either case. +I wanted him to tell me more, but he babbled, begging me to forgive him, to understand. +I did not listen. +I think I was wondering what it meant to say that a thing was art, so we accepted it as art. +Or perhaps I was thinking about the things that humanity made that would outlive our species. +But I was probably only looking at my reflection in the capturador's lens. +Had he said then that I should use it on myself, I might have. +That moment passed. +I looked at Malaquez. +Were they mood-sensitive, they would have changed as I first viewed them. +His lips contorted as if they had lost their ability to shape sound. +I turned to touch the cube that was Tasha's crypt. +She smiled in trust or pleasure or pride, an erotic Mona Lisa who would smile forever, and I could never know why. +I could free Tasha. +If I did, one of three things would happen. +Most likely: she would be meat --there is a reason why stopboxes are most often used in kitchens. +Less likely: she would live the rest of her days with a mind as free of worry as a slug's. +And the tiniest chance of all: she would blink as if I had just materialized in Emil's bedroom, and then she would laugh and tell me that she was going to be immortal. +As I put my hand on the impervious surface of Tasha's stopbox, I heard Malaquez run for the door. +It is strange to know that we can do acts of unrepayable kindness to those we should hate. +Know this, my future self: Thanks to us, Emil Malaquez's name will live as long as his masterpiece, "A Self-Portrait: Anguish," endures. +And Tasha? +I could say that I did not dare to take responsibility for her fate. +I could say that I chose out of consideration for her desire for fame; some critics already say "Waking With Tasha" is Malaquez's finest work. +If science finds a way to safely free the subjects of Emil's art, perhaps the I who reads this file will know that my decision is wise. +But I cannot stop thinking that I was never afraid of losing Tasha to brain damage or death. +My fear is that she would live, and I would learn that I had lost her long before Emil Malaquez translated her into a thing that can be kept, admired, and loved. +For in my way, I have done the same thing. +She said, "It's beautiful, isn't it, Señor Flynn?" +I am ready for the mindwipe now. +"It's beautiful, isn't it, Señor Flynn?" +But she was young and attractive (as I have said and may say again) and eager and so happy to be assisting the infamous Bernardo Flynn that I merely raised an eyebrow in mild scepticism. +And then, because a playwright cannot resist a promising line, I said, "Your Sleeping Flamingo should be put to sleep." +"Your Sleeping Flamingo should be put to sleep." +To say her face fell would do a disservice to Tasha and to literature. +(Allow me my self-indulgences as you would those of a dying man -- when I convince my mindsmith to permit the wipe, there will be another Bernardo Flynn, one who knows no more of Tasha Cortez or Vega IV than he reads here.) +Her brows drew together, creasing the lovely, caramel-colored skin around her eyes and showing the pattern for an old woman's wrinkles on her forehead. +Her lower lip (a trifle too narrow for her face, perhaps her only physical flaw) thrust forward slightly as she started to speak. +She caught herself, slid her jaw infinitesimally back into place, and said, "You don't like it?" +"You don't like it?" +I laughed. +I clapped her shoulder to show I was not laughing at her. +"Like it? +I hate it, despise it, abhor it! +It's gaudy, graceless, pretentious -- That house is an affront to taste and intelligence. +I should buy it to raze it, but I am not so kind-hearted. +I might, however, rent it." +Captured Moments +I think she only heard the last words of my speech. +"You will?" +"It amuses me. +Show me around, and then I shall decide." +"Of course, Señor Flynn." +"And stop calling me 'señor'. +Not even Los Mundos is so polite. +"If you wish." +"I beg you, change the color of the walls, at the very least." +"But of course!" +I stared. +"How's that?" +I looked at her. +"Worse?" +I remember Papa's stopbox, a teal blue Tiempo Capturado that Mama brought home for his birthday. +I nodded. +"I would not have thought it possible." +She frowned. +"It is rather ugly." +"Thoroughly ugly," +"Thoroughly ugly," I corrected with smile. +"Obscenely ugly," +"Obscenely ugly," said she, smiling too. +"No." +I pointed. +"It has no tower." +"I can fix that." +She reached for another dial on the house controls. +"Don't you dare!" +Her wrist, when I grabbed it, was smooth and strong and warm in my fingers. +"I'll take it. +Exactly as it is." +"You will?" +"I must. +God knows what you might do to it next." +Reluctantly, I released her hand. +The interior of The Flamingo was a welcome surprise. +Cloudwood had been used in a Mediterranean manner, making the house seem primitive and civilized at the same time. +The kitchen and baths had every convenience that I desired. +From the living room, the view of the beach struck me with such intensity that Tasha asked if I felt ill. +All I could say was, "No. +I'm in love." +It was huge and inefficient, and she should never have spent so many pesos on a toy, but Papa would not let her return it. +We both thought I referred to the vista. +It's strange how one can write delightedly of the happier moments of life, forgetting the things that one would forget by remembering fully the things one would remember, and suddenly the forgotten, in revenge, rears up to savage the unwary. +So it was as I wrote the preceding. +My heart convulsed, and I left this manuscript for a three-day spree. +Apparently I was so successful that it lasted a week and a half. +Not bad for an eighty-three-year-old, even for one who has his rejuve every month. +And if I can brag and digress so easily, this must not be painful enough to merit a mindwipe, yes? +I abandoned these notes to my future self to have the wipe done immediately, thinking that Bernardo Flynn should receive such services when he needed them, even should the need arise at the third hour after midnight. +My mindsmith is not so understanding. +Captured Moments +She says I am emotionally a child, to which I reply, "Of course. +"Of course. +Why else would I come to you?" +This logic does not soothe her; she says I must wait three weeks. +Three! +. +Such is the law. +I say I do not care about law, I care about service and she should care about money. +He used it to preserve baby tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries in translucent cubes that he stored in the pantry for spring-time meals in the middle of winter. +I went on a spree, and it must have been a good one. +I hope the wipe is as successful with my time on Vega IV as my spree was with my time here. +I dimly remember three bedpartners who were probably human, and one that I hope was delirium. +I will not answer the phone for a week, no matter whose face appears on it. +I keep evading the issue. +But which issue? +The issue of why I am evading the issue, or the issue itself? +To deal with the first: it hurts to remember. +If I am capable of love, I loved Tasha Cortez. +If I am not, I had the perfect mirror for my narcissism. +As for the issue itself, I'm no longer sure what I want to record. +The playwright in me wants every scene of our time together. +The editor says no, only those that are relevant. +“can’t-miss” +Wolves can run fast — but they certainly can’t outrun airplanes. +Given the urgency of the situation in Alaska, Defenders needs your immediate assistance to help save Alaska’s wolves from same-day airborne land-and-shoot slaughter. +Support the Emergency Effort to Save Alaska’s Wolves. +Soon this wolf won’t be merely running in the snow. +Defenders hopes to raise at least $100,000 to help Alaskans For Wildlife, a coalition of Alaska citizens, win a citizens’ ballot initiative this November. +And we face very wealthy opponents. +So today, I urge you to do these two things: FIRST: Sign the enclosed Citizens’ Advisory Ballot to show our Alaska allies your strong personal support to reinstate the ban on “same-day airborne land-and-shoot” wolf killing in Alaska; SECOND: Rush an urgent donation to help put this measure on the ballot and win passage in November. +“same-day airborne land-and-shoot” +The Alaska Legislature is completely out of step with the will of Alaska’s citizens and the American public at large. +This wolf will be running for its life! +Like you, the majority of Alaskans oppose same-day land-and-shoot wolf killing. +But the anti-wolf politicians in the Alaska legislature don’t care what the majority of Alaska citizens want. +And they didn’t listen to the recommendations of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, which opposed this legislation! +They are utterly out of step with their Alaska constituents ... the state agency that manages Alaska wildlife ... and the rest of the American public! +The airplane above will be tracking her ... in order to land and immediately gun her down . +In the name of “wolf control,” wolf killers will predictably once again use aircraft to hunt wolves to the point of exhaustion, so that the wolves have, literally, no chance of survival. +“wolf control,” +And if history is any guide, over the years thousands of Alaska’s wolves will be brutally killed. +Before the 1996 ban on same-day land-and-shoot, as many as 400 wolves were killed in Alaska each year because of this barbaric and unethical practice. +Anti-wolf interests are prepared to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure that the new land-and-shoot law stands — even though most Alaskans do not support it. +ALASKA EMERGENCY +So if we don’t act right now, Alaska’s snowy tundras will once again become bloody killing fields for wolves in America’s “Last Frontier.” +Say “NO” to the barbaric practice of same-day airborne wolf killing. +“NO” +You see, the Alaska legislature passed a law that once again allows any private citizen with just a $15 trapping or $25 hunting license to track wolves by aircraft and then land and gun them down. +As I mentioned, this new same-day airborne land-and-shoot practice will start in September after the opening of hunting season and the first snow — and when wolves will be an easy target. +To repeal this unconscionable law, Defenders must help provide our friends in Alaska -- Alaskans For Wildlife — with the resources necessary to win at the polls in November. +Our well-funded opponents will spend whatever it takes to mislead and confuse voters about this ballot measure. +If Alaska’s new law is not replaced, thousands of Alaska's wolves will die in the years to come. +And it will be a major setback for wolves nationwide — at a time when the American public overwhelmingly favors wolf reintroduction and protection. +A loss will encourage those anti-wolf fanatics who want to stop wolf restoration and put bounties on those wolves already in the wild. +So, please don’t wait another minute. +Please sign your Citizens’ Advisory Ballot to demonstrate to our Alaska allies that you’re behind them; and send an urgent donation today to help them win this effort. +So how will your money be spent? +Here’s the projected budget breakdown: $35,000 — in-depth, state-wide survey conducted by a top pollster to determine voters’ positions on the ballot measure and arguments that will help persuade undecided voters. +$45,000 — salaries /office expenses for staff to oversee the effort between now and election day. +$30,000 — production of television and radio spots alerting the public to the findings of the above survey. +This cruel, unethical wolf-hunting practice is called “same-day airborne land-and-shoot.” +$100,000 — placement of voter education spots in the key media including print, radio and television. +$15,000 — election day “get-out-the-vote” drive, including phone calls to get voters to the polls. +“get-out-the-vote” +You stood by Defenders when we defeated the wealthy American Farm Bureau in court and saved the lives of the wolves in Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. +Now, I’m hoping I can count on your moral and financial support again today. +“same-day airborne land-and-shoot.” +to help save Alaska’s wolves from same-day airborne land-and-shoot killing. +Your special donation today is absolutely critical, because many of Alaska’s politicians clearly have anti-wolf agendas. +They have the financial backing of powerful special interests and the determination to ignore the will of the people of Alaska and the American public. +Please let Alaskans know that you’re behind them. +Please help save Alaska’s wolves by doing these two things: +2.

Oct, 2010 at 7:02 pm +I, too checked out a few listings for under $1,000 and was absolutely shocked at the property taxes. +A $1,000 house, which could be fixed up into maybe a $30-40,000 house comes with a tax bill of $4-6K per year! +Additionally, even if you paid cash for the house, you'd probably want to carry some homeowner's insurance with all the inherent risks to the property (arson, vandalism), and I'm sure it's sky-high, given those risks. +With houses going for $100, I thought, what would you have to lose by moving to Detroit? +And so Quiet Earp and I did some research, and came up with a list of houses selling for under a grand. +We had plenty to choose from: there were more cheap houses than we would have time to visit. +We picked two neighborhoods to cruise, and dove in. +But once we entered Detroit, the truth hit fast: this is a modern American ghost town. +The place is practically deserted. +Its streets, built wide to accommodate heavy traffic, are mostly empty. +Houses and businesses are boarded up, painted up, bombed out and falling down. +Even in the center of the business district, there's no traffic and hardly any people. +Chief among these is Detroit, Motor City. +Don't believe me? +I videotaped it: +It got worse as we drove into residential areas, looking for those cheap houses. +In fact, I've never felt so out of place in all my life . +Even in Chicago's South Side, where we counted five white people in an hour, I felt fine just driving around; not so in Detroit. +Truthfully, it wasn't about race: it was about being naive. +It was about driving down streets where we truly did not belong and were not welcome. +The longtime center of American automotive manufacturing was gutted when the Big Three car companies simultaneously failed. +They sit on the porch and watch the cars go by, watch the deals go down, watch their neighborhoods crumble. +And we, driving through slowly and reading house numbers in a late-model Honda, stuck out like a couple of thumbs. +So we sped up, and went straight to the houses. +Sometimes we stopped to take a photo, but mostly we didn't. +Earp and I have each lived happily in the wilds of West Oakland, but the danger I felt in Detroit was like nothing I'd experienced before. +I was actually afraid for my life. +The New York Times correspondent wrote that his friend Mitch's $1,900 home "had already been stripped of its appliances and wiring ... +But for Mitch that only added to its appeal, because he now had the opportunity to renovate it with solar heating, solar electricity and low-cost, high-efficiency appliances. +As for the $100 house? +It "needed some work, a hole patched, some windows replaced." +"needed some work, a hole patched, some windows replaced." +Well, I don't know what part of Detroit these folks live in, but the $100 houses I saw looked more like this: +You see, abandoned houses in this town get set on fire. +No exceptions. +Wherever we went in those neighborhoods, one in four houses had been torched. +On one corner, we saw a giant banner hung across a charred front porch. +We didn't slow down to take a photo, but I'll paraphrase: DON'T BURN HOUSES DOWN! +Except that they obviously aren't. +Buy a $100 house in Detroit, and you get a lifetime supply of sleepless nights: you'll spend the next several years waiting for burglars and arsonists, murderers and crackheads to break in the windows. +It's the Rust Belt. +Ultimately, I do believe that change will come to Detroit. +Detroit and the Myth of the $100 House | Uprooted, an eco/travel blog +There will be a green movement here ; in fact it's already being cultivated by forward-thinking groups and intrepid locals . +One day, this place will be reborn. +But right now, the NYT's story reeks of Shinola. +Anyone who takes this plunge is risking their life every day, betting on a future that may take a long time to arrive. +Long story short: Yes, you can buy a house in Detroit for $100. +Cheap real estate, that's what. +And you will get what you pay for. +Cheers to Toby Barlow , who inspired my trek to Detroit, and who believes in a happier, greener future. +May your every dream come true, sir, and your book sell fabulously. +16 Responses to "Detroit and the Myth of the $100 House" +bisnis 16.

Sep, 2009 at 10:06 am +Please track down and watch a movie called "Detroit: A City to Yourself", by Nicole MacDonald. +"Detroit: A City to Yourself" +It's full of this imagery, and talks about the 1805 fire and rebuilding, and the post-industrial devastation that's ravaged the city since. +About the pop fiction which explores the concept of a post-human world, and how it already exists now. +And about how, if you're a pheasant, that's not such a bad thing. +HOWEVER ... +There's a lot more to Detroit than that. +There are industrial spaces being turned into low-rent artist lofts and business incubators. +(Look at the Russell Industrial Complex, for one example.) +There are neighborhoods that refuse to cave. +(west of Livernois around McNichols). +There's a whole bunch of nice stuff happening along the riverfront, from downtown up towards Stroh Place. +$1,900! +And there's always Belle Isle. +Some of us (and lots of New Yorkers) pay that much in rent every month! +When friends come to Detroit, I take them there. +It's our in-the-river park, 982 acres of green space, with a zoo, a botanical garden and conservatory, rentable paddle boats, and tons of other neat stuff. +Next time you're in Detroit, please head over. +Oh, and entry is free, so it's available to anyone regardless of economic status. +You're liable to see families picnicking, bums gathering bottles and cans, geese foraging, and deer cautiously wandering the edge of the woods. +Some of that cheap real estate isn't too horrible, either. +There's a whole street being taken over by artists, Farnsworth between Moran and McDougall. +Some of the things they've done down there are amazing, and the community garden is a great bridge to the surrounding neighborhood. +In fact, the article went on, soon a nearby house went on the market for $100. +America's Rust Belt is a swath of cities and towns that boomed during the Industrial Era and now lie -- well, rusting -- as empty remainders of glory days past. +A few weeks ago, someone broke into their shed to steal their garden tools. +Think about that for a moment, hoes and shovels don't have enough pawn value to be worth carrying out. +Yes, Detroit's got more than its share of bad spots, you're right. +But there are bright spots, and behind every one of them is a person, or a bunch of people, who refuse to give up. +Jessica 19. Sep, 2009 at 10:30 am +Myself -- Thanks for the comment and the great information. +The artist types notified their buddies, who moved in post haste. +You are exactly the kind of person who gives me back the hope I lost on my way into town. +Seems there's a pretty solid group of Detroit residents who are truly committed to restoring the city, and that's beautiful to see. +Love the fact that people are stealing garden implements (though it's still sad that they need to). +I will absolutely watch A City To Yourself, thank you for the recommendation. +And when I'm in the area again, I'll go out to Belle Isle and think long&hard about the future of American cities--as I'm sure you do occasionally too. +Reader Not Writer 20. Sep, 2009 at 10:17 pm +Well, growing up not far from Detroit myself, I would point out a few things: +I was intrigued. +See, there's a wee bit of loyalty to the Big 3 and driving a foreign car doesn't really scream "solidarity" to those struggling to survive. +Really? +A $100 house? +Most of the funny looks you got were less about your color than about your ride. +You think I'm kidding, but I couldn't be more serious -- that Honda is a visceral reminder for people of how the American consumer has left Detroit in the dust. +Even if it was a real fixer-upper, even if you really were better off tearing it down than living in it, that'd still be a hell of a deal. +2. Detroit (proper) has been dying for a long time -- before the 1968 riots, even. +Its going to take some pioneering individuals to start creating those pockets of innovation, creativity, and vision. +But its not going to happen with the investment of $100 into a single house. +The next moment, Acres was there. +Hands up in the same way mine were frozen. +We just looked at each other. +I guess, thinking back, I might have expected him to gloat, but the view was the kind of thing that humbles you, shuts your mouth. +We just stood looking at each other for a little while, I don't know how long. +What is it? +he wasn't the sort you'd call "Chuck." +A place. +I don't know. +I think this whole thing," he waved his hand at the horizon, "is one big machine. +And the markers were carved later, not be whoever built it. +Safe? +I looked around. +One thing this place didn't seem was safe. +Let me show you the rest. +He started walking down the steps and around a corner. +It would have taken plenty to surprise me after what I had already seen, but My jaw was banging against my shoelaces when I rounded that corner. +'m a linguistics researcher, Ed. +I'm not sure how something so big could have been hidden by that little turn in landscape, but maybe perspective doesn't work quite the same there. +Glaring down at me from no more than twenty feet away was a grimacing, thirty foot tall black face with staring, blue and white eyes and it wore a ridiculous little hat. +For some reason I thought of a giant clown face from a carnival ride, but it scared the hell out me. +Acres stood beside it and somehow using him as a yardstick for the scale of the thing made it easier to see. +It was a moai. +This is what I wanted to show you. +I looked down and saw he was pointing to another marker just slightly different from the one we had just left. +I was pretty rattled, but things fell together for me looking at the big statue, the Hawaiian shirt and the mark on the ground. +Easter Island? +Acres nodded. +It was all too much for me so I focused on the part I could handle. +So what does this have to do with gold? +You could step on that marker and make the gestures, the 'device,' and it would be like pushing a button in a very complex machine. +You would end up on a small hill on Rapa Nui. +You could step three feet to the right and do the same thing, and you would end up buried alive in a nearby rock face. +But I know how to make it take me anywhere. +He pulled a sheet of folded paper from his pocket and handed it to me. +It read, "Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service, Status Report of U.S. Treasury-Owned Gold." +He pointed to a row that read, "Deep Storage: Fort Knox, KY." +I sucked in a whole lot of air. +Anywhere? +Anywhere," he walked around the moai and came back wrestling with a big, heavy bar of gold. +Otherwise the vault is sealed. +Does anyone else know about this? +No, they would have been on Rapa Nui if they knew, ready to stop me. +This is the 400 ounces which I mentioned at the restaurant. +About $150,000 dollars at this morning's rate. +I looked at the sheet in my hand. +I had to read it twice. +I had never seen a dollar sign in front of that many number before. +I thought they didn't keep gold there anymore, just nerve gas. +The gold is still there. +How much can we sell before someone becomes suspicious? +Charles put the bar down and slid a web pouch over it with shoulder straps like a small backpack. +How's your um... business? +"None," I said and slipped the knife into his neck right at the base of his skull. +None +Call me small minded, but you know "a bird in the hand." +All that gold in Fort Knox was just too much for me to wrap my head around. +But I could handle a hundred and fifty-K easy, say seventy-five-K from the fence. +I slipped the little pouch over my back and wiped the knife on his jacket. +I waived down a waitress and ordered a cup of decaf and a slice of pie. +Then I made my way back to the little marker where we came in. +His mistake had been in telling me the same gesture opened the door the other way. +What if it didn't work? +So the icy wind at the top of the mound and the bright moon came as a real relief. +The gold was heavy on my back, and I was all the way to the car before I realized I had left the keys on Charles. +The highway patrol was just bound to come by then. +After that it was just connect the dots back to prison. +The rental car records pointed to Acres, and there was enough blood on the knife to match DNA from Acres comb in the motel. +They never bothered trying to explain how Acres made it into the country without a ticket on a plane or a boat. +I didn't like his tone much. +But they speculated all through the trial about where the gold came from, offered me deals. +The prosecution liked the idea that Acres was my smuggler's mule. +I was a one man gold cartel in the news. +"So you sure you're not a cop, Charles?" +I'm just wondering what they'll think when they open that vault in Kentucky. +And I still wonder why Charles picked me? +Maybe he didn't know anybody else with "connections." +Acres said it was dangerous, but maybe I could find my way back to the mound or Easter Island even. +I figure it can't be worse than the lethal injection that's waiting for me at dawn. +I stared him down until he flinched. +I don't really believe I'll make it or I wouldn't say a thing. +But if I do make it, it won't matter what I tell you, because there won't be a jail that can hold me. +Wish me luck. +I out of here. +As I did, I noticed just how tired he looked around the eyes. +I knew every cop in Fairport and quite a few of the state police in Iowa, and I couldn't see them bringing old Charles in as a ringer. +'m not a cop +He sighed and went on in softer, sadder voice, "I guess I'm a thief now." +Hold it. +I looked around. +Charles might be for real, but he was still going to get me in deep trouble. +Let's make real clear right now that you were joking, buddy. +Otherwise this conversation is over. +I've got a parole officer to explain things to, and he wouldn't like that kinda talk. +Right. +Right. +Sorry. +Charles looked out the window at the passing traffic push through dirty slush for awhile. +Like I was saying. +I'm a researcher, I've come into some valuable material that I would like to find a buyer for, and I don't want to have to explain myself to anyone. +He said he had a "business proposition" for me. +The pie came and I waited until the waitress was gone, before going on, "Why me?" +You were the first person who came to mind. +First person? +Twenty years out of high school? +How much of this 'valuable material' are we talking about? +Four Hundred ounces for a start. +I pulled out my palm phone and looked up a number. +That's alot. +He drained the last of his cup and tossed some bills on the table. +I'm staying in town. +Let me show you something. +He sounded surprised and said no, he needed me to help him get rid of "a large quantity of gold." +Charles might not look like much, but I hadn't made it through my life taking that kind of chance. +I put away the cell and used the motion to cover checking the knife in my sleeve and used one leg to check the other in my sock. +I had been an amateur magician for years. +It never failed to amaze. +Sure. +Let's go," I said. +There was only one chair, so I sat on the edge of the bed as he handed me a book open to a picture of some sort of stone tablet. +Rapa Nui," he said, "Easter Island. +This codex is one of the few remaining examples of a form of writing known as 'rongorongo. +For a long time no one was able to decipher it, although by deduction, Steven Fischer deciphered some of it in nineteen ninety four. +I told him I'd meet him for coffee at the diner down the street at seven. +He mostly read creation stories off objects like the 'Santiago Staff' which said things like, 'All the birds copulated with fish: There issued forth the sun. +But he ignored the inscriptions on skulls and the 'Birdman' statuette. +It was those clues that started all of this. +I didn't see much money in hieroglyphic porn. +He talked on about people with long ears who built the big statues, the "moai" and people with short ears who conquered the people with long ears and ate them and how the short eared people didn't really know the secrets of the long ears and had pulled down all the moai statues and destroyed some of the tablets. +And how the missionaries came and the converted natives had destroyed more. +He flipped pages to another image, "But notice something here in the arrangement of the moai. +See here how they form a pattern, very similar to this? +He pulled out a small leather diary and opened it to a yellowed page marked with yet another small sticky note. +I didn't see much resemblance except maybe there were about the same number of points in the cat's cradle thing in the diary and the number of dots on the map showing places where statues stood in a thin line around the coast of the island. +he was already there, sitting in a booth, warming his hands on a cup of coffee. +This is the diary of a mysterious explorer named Samuel Curlew who investigated a Mound Builder site in this area in the early eighteen hundreds. +He closed the little book and just about hugged it with satisfaction. +I want to show you that mound. +You know it was these very mounds that originally sparked my interest in history, archeology and then linguistics. +And this mound is where you found gold? +I was confused enough I let the "G word" slip. +Was this some crazy treasure hunt? +Or maybe this guy was just a wacko who wanted to take me out on a dark road and kill me. +No, it's more complicated than that, but I need to show you the mound for you to understand. +He looked like jerked meat on the bone. +The drawings and the books seemed to wake him up. +I was having serious cash flow issues back then and had payments to make, so I said, "yes," but my patience was running out. +Charles Acres called me on a Thursday afternoon, just like that. +It was dark as we left. +The drive was shorter than I expected. +He was wearing a new jacket and snow boots, but he had on a Hawaiian shirt underneath and khaki shorts of all things. +When he killed the headlights there was no light but moonlight and stars on a light dusting of snow. +A low, black hill blocked the sky right in front of us. +We spent the next hour stomping around the hill while he said things like, "it was right here." +My patience was long gone, and I was back in the car to warming up when Acres tapped on the window and told me he had found whatever he was looking for. +It looked like a bamboo walking stick. +"This is it," he leaned down and motioned for me to look at something on the ground. +This is it +I casually slid a knife into my palm just in case. +See how the lines form the pattern in the journal, the same one as the moai. +"So you drew this?" I asked vaguely, slow to catch on. +So you drew this? +He looked hurt and rapped on the ground with his finger. +It's stone. +Ancient. +For the first time he looked cold and stiff in his tourist gear, making me glad I was in a suit. +His tan was obviously deep and old, but it looked like a work tan, not the kind you get at the beach. +Here stand beside me," he said. +I'm not sure if I can take you with me so I need to show you the device. +Device? +I expected him to pull out a gadget with blinking lights and was wondering which way to duck. +It's like sleight of hand. +OK, watch and remember this. +I'm going to do it in two parts, last part first so it won't take effect. +Remember to reverse the two parts when you actually do it. +Stunned I watched as he made several ridiculous passes with his hands paused and nodded then did a sort of sign language stutter of some sort. +"Mnemonic." I muttered, which seemed to please him. +Mnemonic. +Yes. +They help in remembering steps in a ritual or ceremonial gestures. +Now you do it. +He smiled and I could see his teeth in the moonlight. +I wanted to slug him, but he had the keys to the car back and I figured I'd humor him while I figured out how to get them without violating my parole. +I even swapped the two parts as he had asked. +I thought he was surprised at my dexterity when his jaw dropped, but he shouted, "No!" just before everything changed. +I was standing on a perfectly flat square of dark stone. +For as far as I could see by a weak, gray light the stone stepped up and down making little hills and terraces and platforms. +I seemed to be somewhere in the middle -- there was as much above as below. +So, the mining business is treating you pretty good, huh Charles? +I was in shock. +We receive no government funding. +The only way we can continue to provide guide dogs, at no cost, to someone who is blind or visually impaired, is through your support. +Friends like you make it possible to give the gift of “Second Sight®”. +“Second Sight®” +I hope the Foundation can count on your caring donation today. +And having a guide dog does make a real difference in the lives of our students. +“Second Sight” +It’s the special bond — of a loving and working 24 hour a day partnership. +“As a boy in Bosnia, I walked my dog. +“As a boy in Bosnia, I walked my dog.

For more information about the Guide Dog Foundation, or to become a Guide Dog Foundation volunteer, visit our website at www.guidedog.org. +For too many, this is a daily reality — but today you can help make a difference. +Having a guide dog allows a blind or visually impaired individual to experience the possibilities of life, not the limitations. +For The Blind, Inc. +It costs over $20,000 to breed, care for and train a guide dog like “Duke” and to train his blind teammate. +We use Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and a cross between Labs and Goldens. +Male and female dogs are used. +And our dogs are specially bred for temperament and physical soundness. +It’s people like you who make it possible to give the priceless gift of “Second Sight” . +Every Foundation guide dog is given free of charge to someone who is blind or visually impaired. +We are supported entirely by donations from generous individuals, corporations and foundations. +Tonight was for observation. +I didn't bother trying to seek out a different group of potentially more interesting people, though. +They all looked the same: clusters of social butterflies surrounded by the less apt, the hangers-on, the circle with whom the gossip was shared. +I wondered at the ship instead. +All the fine food and the ornamental lighting, it had to be exorbitantly pricey to maintain. +If the barkeep was any indication, I suspected similarly high-class robots fulfilled other positions on the ship. +How they were all powered was a mystery—as good as the technology got, a quality robot like that was still an energy sink. +It was the brain, mostly; the amount of information the machine had to process to be able to function at the level it did ate up a lot of resources. +Sarah's crowd took turns taking my champagne flute to the bar to be refilled, all seemingly pleased to have a new set of ears to talk at. +By the end of the evening, when I finally followed the slow trickle of people out of the room, a satisfying haze had settled on my mind. +It was nice, I decided. +This ship. +This life. +Did it truly matter what the ship's origin was and why Jefferson had saved me, if now, I was content? +Fact: It's easy to fall into patterns. +I would wake late, checking the clock on my room's lightscreen to make sure I hadn't slept through brunch. +I would join the rest of the ship for meals, and I would take my turn in the weight room. +I would watch old films on the entertainment screens, taking mental notes for later dinnertime discussions. +I would immerse myself in new virtual reality flicks. +I would attend afternoon dance classes, so that when the evening dances came around (modeled after the historical social gatherings of several hundred years prior), I would be less of an embarrassment to myself. +So, twenty-four hours. +I did not ask questions. +I told myself I should. +I told myself that tonight, the observation period would end and I'd start puzzling out the ship's mystery. +But I fell under the ship's sway. +Give or take. +Bereft of my previous familiar life, I latched onto Kishori and Ray and Zheng, and Sarah with Alexis dragged along on her arm now and then (he was mostly her favorite dancing partner; she confided to us one night that his conversational skills left something to be desired). +About the time I was composing my last words in my head, trying not to think too much about what suffocating felt like, that's when I heard a bell. +I smothered thoughts of friends back on Earth—this was my long-awaited vacation, my clean break and my temporary retreat; I'd try contacting those friends tomorrow. +I continued to care little for shipwide gossip, but our discussions of films and flicks, old and new, brought out my artistic, story-loving, argumentative side, a side of me I'd tucked into a back storage compartment during my years as an engineer. +It was a good life, if surreal. +But I wasn't sure I wanted the dream stage to end. +Fact: Some places are timeless. +Days passed, weeks passed, but I couldn't tell if it had been months or years since I was rescued. +All there was, all I remembered, was a blur. +Gathering for drinks in the parlors, playing dress up with all the fine clothes I found in the closets (some of it modern, some of it period dress for special themed events), idling in the lounges. +Now and then, a new face mingled in the crowd. +Other faces washed out, fading into the backdrop of carpets and fake glass chandeliers and the muted hum of the engines. +So when my shuttle malfunctioned and the airlocks didn't keep the air in, I heard nothing. +One of these evenings, we were gathered in the South Ballroom for post-dinner drinks, lounging on couches and watching other members of our populace move in circles on the dance floor. +(The 'South' was in the title to suggest that there were more ballrooms. +'South' +There weren't.) +Sarah's circle had picked up another newcomer, Adrienne, a short blond girl who we all agreed was barely old enough to attend a traditional university back on Earth, let alone work on the ship in whose wreck Jefferson had found her. +My first thought: I was going crazy. +Maybe it was her curiosity, asking a question I should have asked long before, that turned the conversation serious; maybe there was just something special about that evening. +Maybe we had all tired of the frivolity of our life, hitting some threshold or some breaking point. +We dredged up half-fledged theories and inchoate explanations, tossing these out the same way we pitched ideas about the art films. +“I believe we'll see the end of the universe,” +Captain's cohort, she had a glass of orange-brown liquid in one hand; it might have been orange juice and some kind of berry liquor. +She swirled it speculatively. +I watched Adrienne. +“Impossible,” +“Impossible,” said Zheng, sitting in the chair to her left. +“We can't live that long.” +“Maybe the universe will end sooner than you think,” +Yeah, the captain was there, with the rest of us. +He didn't drink, but he made a point of mingling with all the various cliques. +“Maybe we'll travel at the speed of light and we won't age,” +“Maybe we'll travel at the speed of light and we won't age,” said Sarah, setting her wine glass on the little round end table by her couch. +“Maybe we're already traveling at the speed of light.” +Tiffany, she nodded eagerly. +“Relatively says it all.” +Zheng scoffed. +“Also impossible. +“Also impossible. Even if we were traveling at ninety-nine percent of the speed of light—that's assuming you ignore science and pretend that such a thing is possible, because it isn't—we'd still age. We'd just appear to age slower than people not traveling as fast as us.” +Even if we were traveling at ninety-nine percent of the speed of light—that's assuming you ignore science and pretend that such a thing is possible, because it isn't—we'd still age. +We'd just appear to age slower than people not traveling as fast as us.” +“And?” +said Sarah. +“Aging is relative, anyway. +“Aging is relative, anyway. Besides, I wouldn't mind being around forever. Give our ancestors purpose. Keep their dreams alive.” +Besides, I wouldn't mind being around forever. +Give our ancestors purpose. +Keep their dreams alive.” +In fact, the opposite: We're all going to die.” +“Bleak,” commented Zheng. +“But I like it.” +Ray took a drink from his glass of ice water, and shook his head. +“We're all going to die, so what better thing to do than enjoy the time we have?” +Tiffany took a drink, thinking. +“All the luxuries money can buy,” +“All the luxuries money can buy,” she echoed. +Zheng looked skeptical. +“Paid for how?” +“Smuggling,” responded Kishori. +Matter-of-fact. +“Think about it,” +“Think about it,” Kishori continued, “where else would we get the money to buy all this?” +“where else would we get the money to buy all this?” +“Renegade smugglers. So what's our cargo, eh, captain?” +So what's our cargo, eh, captain?” +Zheng joked, leaning back in his chair with his glass of wine. +“I'll leave you to your speculation,” +Now, there were two things here that made ridiculously small amounts of sense. +He set his glass down on an end table, steepled his fingers together. +“We're revolting,” +“We're revolting,” he told us. +“And I don't mean that you disgust me. +“And I don't mean that you disgust me. No, we're the start of a rebellion. Did you hear what the captain said earlier? He means, we're going to change the future. The universe as we know it won't be the same.” +No, we're the start of a rebellion. +Did you hear what the captain said earlier? +The universe as we know it won't be the same.” +“That's dumb,” +“That's dumb,” said Sarah. +“Wouldn't we know it if we were part of a rebellion? +Zheng shook his head. +“The captain selected us for a reason. +“The captain selected us for a reason. He has inside intelligence—how else would he know where to find us? He knows about us.” +He has inside intelligence—how else would he know where to find us? +He knows about us.” +“That's still dumb,” +“That's still dumb,” said Sarah. +“Inside intelligence? +“Inside intelligence? Don't you remember, there's not exactly one big galactic government from which to steal information.” +Don't you remember, there's not exactly one big galactic government from which to steal information.” +First, the whole in-a-vacuum why's-there-a-bell thing. +“I still like my idea,” +“I still like my idea,” said Tiffany. +Jefferson didn't share how he found people. +But then again, no one asked. +I guess we all figured, he knew what he was doing. +I wondered if Adrienne would ask about that. +“We're going to mean something,” +“We're going to mean something,” Zheng was saying. +“What we do, rebelling against the oppression of the many governments that oppose us, we're going to leave a legacy.” +Enthusiastic, even. +Ray, he shook his head, and broke the quiet he'd held most of the evening. +“You've got it all wrong.” +He looked from Sarah, to Adrienne, to Zheng, to Kishori and Tiffany, to me. +“Obviously, we can't last longer than the rest of the universe. +We aren't giving anyone purpose. +We're not even going to leave a legacy. +All we're doing is eating and drinking and shitting, breathing and fucking and nothing important, ever. +We aren't special.” +“Again, bleak,” +“Again, bleak,” commented Zheng. +Adrienne gestured for him to be quiet. +She leaned forward, setting her elbows on the foot stool in front of her. +“You never know when it will end,” +“You can't hold on forever, even if you don't ever, ever want to forget. +“You can't hold on forever, even if you don't ever, ever want to forget. How long until the memories slip away? How long until all you remember is this, the ship, the thick red carpeting, the chandeliers, the empty conversations you hold with the other shells who used to be people? When your life, the reason you lived, the people and faces and places, the emotions you felt, who and what you loved, when all that is gone, faded, what will you have left?” +How long until the memories slip away? +How long until all you remember is this, the ship, the thick red carpeting, the chandeliers, the empty conversations you hold with the other shells who used to be people? +I wondered how long Ray had been on this ship. +I wondered why, if he had such an unpropitious outlook, he hadn't tried to change his situation. +I wanted to ask, but he was still talking, and I was too self-conscious to interrupt. +“You can try to hold on,” said Ray. +“You can try and try and try. +Repeat stories to yourself in the artificial night, sketch faces in your mind. +But words, if you repeat them enough times, lose their meaning. +Emily emily em-ill-ee em-i-lee eh-mill-ee eh-mih-lee. +My wife's name, once. +Repeat it enough times, it's just a sound. +These signals were the heralds of my saviors. +No longer grounded.” +Ray, he said, “If we last forever, if our eyes are the last eyes watching as the stars blink out, it won't mean a thing to us. +We aren't angels. +We're just dumb and lucky.” +“Pure dumb luck,” +“Pure dumb luck,” he said. +“Struck a nerve, huh?” +said Zheng. +“Sorry,” +“Sorry,” said Ray. +“How long ago was that?” +asked Adrienne. +“Leaving your wife, I mean. +“Leaving your wife, I mean. Traveling on this ship.” +The first words they said to me meant nothing. +Ray, he looked down at his hands, folded together in his lap, fingers interlaced. +“I don't know,” +“I don't know,” he said. +We were all quiet for a moment. +Ray shrugged, then got up and left. +We let him go. +Silent. +Self-conscious. +More excuses were made, and after a few moments, only Adrienne and I were left sitting in the ballroom. +She looked across the circle of couches at me. +“What's your theory?” +I wasn't listening; I didn't care; I was going to live; I was going to keep breathing. +“Not that long,” +“Not that long,” I said. +“A couple weeks, I guess. Maybe a month or two.” +Maybe a month or two.” +“Why don't you know for sure?” +she asked. +I shrugged. +I hadn't been counting days. +“What did you do before this? +“What did you do before this? How were you found?” +How were you found?” +“I was an engineer.” +I explained how my ship had malfunctioned, no warning at all. +The explosions, the impossible rescue. +She nodded. +“The ship I was on, I guess that's what happened, too. +“The ship I was on, I guess that's what happened, too. Some vital part broke, and... well, boom. It was all so fast.” +well, boom. +It was all so fast.” +She took a sip of her drink, plain water because, she had explained earlier, she had never liked the taste of alcohol, then fixed her gaze on me. +“I'm going to figure it out,” +“I'm going to figure it out,” she said. +“How and why this ship exists. +“How and why this ship exists. I'll figure it out, then I'm going to find a way home.” +I'll figure it out, then I'm going to find a way home.” +I paced my room that night, unable to sleep. +The more I thought about it, the less sense the ship made. +Next to those, nothing else mattered. +Worse, Adrienne had made this clear to me with a single question. +Fact: Adrienne intimidated me. +Fact: It's too easy to fall into patterns. +I resolved to break the pattern. +Another evening, another chandeliered room, another swirl of conversations and dances and hor d'oevres. +Another circle of chairs and couches, another uncomfortable question. +The recycled air tasted sweet in my mouth, and all thoughts that crossed my mind were cheap metaphors about life-giving substances and how breathing was like sex, only better. +“Has anyone ever left?” +Adrienne looked at each of us in turn. +Ray exchanged a glance with Zheng. +Sarah frowned. +“Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Alexis in days. +“Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Alexis in days. I assumed he was indisposed.” +I assumed he was indisposed.” +Kishori nodded in agreement. +After the first whoosh of the air being sucked away, there was lightning, but no thunder. +I looked at Ray and raised an eyebrow. +“What?” +“Well,” +“Well,” Ray said, slowly, “People do leave. +“People do leave. The approximate number of people at any given event is always the same. But we see new faces.” +The approximate number of people at any given event is always the same. +Fact: Sound is a vibration. +asked Adrienne, using Sarah's phrasing. +Zheng shook his head and picked up a handful of candied pecans from a little dish on the end table. +“Keep adding people long enough, regardless, you get more overall. +“Keep adding people long enough, regardless, you get more overall. A couple people staying in their rooms, even if you switch out the people, won't make a difference.” +A couple people staying in their rooms, even if you switch out the people, won't make a difference.” +He dropped the pecans back into the dish, one by one. +“So where do they go?” +Adrienne focused on Zheng. +“Maybe a better question is, does anyone ever come back?” +Ray and Zheng exchanged another glance. +Kishori chewed her lip. +Sarah shrugged and sipped at her drink. +After a moment, Ray said, “I don't think so.” +“I don't think so.” +“Are there patterns?” +Adrienne asked. +“Who leaves?” +Again, there was an uncomfortable moment of silence. +I hazarded a guess. +“You don't notice, do you.” +Sarah looked indignant. +“Of course we notice. +“Of course we notice. But... well, no one important ever disappears, so it doesn't really matter, does it.” +But... well, no one important ever disappears, so it doesn't really matter, does it.” +I could tell she was trying to remember whom she had known who had left, and failing. +No one contradicted her. +No one offered a different answer. +I looked at Adrienne. +Mission accomplished: Our routine insouciance had been disrupted. +The scales had tipped. +(I reserved the right to revise this opinion later.) +From the looks on my companions' faces, I knew they were thinking the same. +“How long have you been here?” +The question, previously posed to me, was presented to the rest of our group (excluding Ray; Adrienne had been tactful enough to wait until he had gone for a refill, recalling the last time the subject was broached). +Sarah, she tilted her head and tapped a finger on the side of her wine glass. +A long time. +Got to be months and months, at least. +“You were here before I was,” +“You were here before I was,” said Kishori, “and so was Tiffany.” +When I was done mentally exclaiming over my impossible rescue, I looked around. +“and so was Tiffany.” +I looked at Zheng; he shrugged. +“Time passes in a weird way here. +“Time passes in a weird way here. I kept track for a while—thirty-eight days—but after that... I guess I didn't see the point.” +I kept track for a while—thirty-eight days—but after that... +I guess I didn't see the point.” +Fact: Some places are timeless. +“Why not?” +asked Adrienne. +“Days don't matter,” +“Days don't matter,” he said. +Tiffany nodded, but Kishori spoke before the other woman could. +“Why are you so interested?” +Adrienne met her gaze. +“I don't want to be here forever.” +“But we're not here forever,” +“But we're not here forever,” objected Sarah. +“Remember? +“Remember? Alexis left.” +Alexis left.” +“Disappeared,” +“Disappeared,” I corrected her. +“We don't know how or why he left. +“We don't know how or why he left. Or where he went.” +Zheng looked thoughtful. +He picked up his glass, swirled the liquid around, took a sip, then set the glass back down. +He glanced around at the rest of us. +“Do you want to leave?” +he asked. +“Could you live anywhere else now?” +I spoke up. +“Yes,” +“Yes,” I said. +“I wouldn't miss this, much.” +No one else said anything. +I watched Adrienne's eyes move from one face to the next. +Zheng, he addressed me again, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and an intense, steady gaze. +“You think that,” +“You think that,” he said, “but is it true? +Fact: It's too easy to fall into patterns. +Fact: I wasn't sure I wanted the dream stage to end. +My quarters felt stifling. +Asphyxiating my mind. +I sat sideways in the armchair, feet dangling over one arm, neck resting against the other, absently tracing invisible lines between the stars outside my window as I ruminated on the situation. +The lightscreen had proved singularly unhelpful. +There was a schedule advertising upcoming on-ship events, such as dance classes, craft sessions, and discussion groups, and a list of dinner invitations for me to respond to. +A menu of display options, allowing me to customize all the lightscreen's superficial characteristics. +A simple contact system for communicating with other people on the ship. +That was all. +A methodical search of my two adjoining rooms, the ample closet space, and the attached bathroom facility had similarly provided no fodder. +Furniture (dark wood, expensive, polished, no secret compartments), clothes, leftover tray of half-consumed food from the previous day's lunch, toiletries (complete with miniature bottles of sweet-smelling apricot honey lotion), lightscreen, me. +I was discouraged and frustrated. +I wanted to prove to Adrienne that I wanted solve the ship's mystery just as much as she did. +I wanted to find something, anything, that would prove all this was normal and sane. +And me, I guess I was one more piece in their puzzle. +I didn't want to think about disappearances and time and purposes and consequences. +I wanted my contentment back. +I cornered Adrienne at dinner that night. +In one hand I balanced my plate of star-shaped crackers, globs of elegant dips and garnishes, little rolled balls of meats and cheeses stabbed through with spears of some pale green plant, and an array of other delectable, bite-sized items. +My other hand pointedly steered Adrienne to a small table against a wall. +She glared at me, but obediently let me pull her along. +“Tell me,” +I was one more scrap to weld onto the rest, one more stranded survivor who was found. +“what you have found.” +It wasn't a question. +She gave me a grumpy look that informed me, quite clearly, of her current opinion of me. +“Not if you're going to be rude about it.” +I sighed. +“Sorry.” +I wasn't, not really, but I'd lie to get the conversation going. +“I want to know.” +I explained, in two brief sentences, my earlier impasse. +“I don't know much,” +“I don't know much,” she said, still annoyed but at least cooperative. +She reviewed the information gleaned from our previous dinner conversations, adding, “I heard the captain say something yesterday, as I walking to the Pyrope Parlor. +“I heard the captain say something yesterday, as I walking to the Pyrope Parlor. I was just coming up on a corner and he was around the other side, talking to a couple people, and they must not have known I was there. He said something about a wreck going well. And listen, when they came round the corner, Ray was with the captain.” +I was just coming up on a corner and he was around the other side, talking to a couple people, and they must not have known I was there. +And listen, when they came round the corner, Ray was with the captain.” +I was now one of them. +“Is there a doctor on board?” +asked Adrienne. +“I've been having headaches.” +This story, it's our story. +“Down past the Emerald Lounge, second door on the left. +“Down past the Emerald Lounge, second door on the left. All hours.” +A robot, then. +Medical AI were even more expensive than the barkeep. +I wondered how many people it treated. +Had anyone on the ship ever fallen seriously ill? +The survivors of the unfortunate accidents, the catastrophic malfunctions, the fateful crashes: this is us. +“Does he age?” +asked Adrienne. +“The captain?” +I shrugged. +“I never thought about it.” +“That doesn't answer my question,” +“That doesn't answer my question,” she said. +Adrienne only picked at her food. +“Not hungry?” +asked Kishori sympathetically. +“No,” +“No,” said Adrienne. +“At least have a drink,” +“At least have a drink,” said Sarah. +“I find it takes the edge off.” +“Maybe that's the problem,” +“Maybe that's the problem,” said Sarah. +“One hundred and forty-seven is a magic number,” said Sarah. +“You ever heard of Dunbar? +“You ever heard of Dunbar? Well, we've got the perfect-size group right here.” +Well, we've got the perfect-size group right here.” +Just enough for us all to be able to barely avoid killing each other. +“Why doesn't anyone mutiny?” +Adrienne asked. +“We can't,” +“What would we do?” +Adrienne shook her head and made a sound of disgust. +“You could force the captain to set down somewhere. +“You could force the captain to set down somewhere. Let us off the ship. If he refuses, threaten him. If he still refuses, well, of all of us, isn't there someone who can drive a ship?” +Let us off the ship. +If he refuses, threaten him. +If he still refuses, well, of all of us, isn't there someone who can drive a ship?” +Floating alone, each of us facing the silence of the vacuum, we were found. +“That's murder,” +“That's murder,” objected Sarah. +“That's survival, ” +Times like that, running on less sleep than I should, alone because everyone else had had the sense to retire for the night, I had a tendency to get all meditative about the universe and my place in it. +The stillness of the room contributed, as did the view. +Black and more black, speckled by tiny points of light that flared up to break the emptiness, if only for a brief time. +All of it was temporary, save for the black. +That was tonight's melodramatic theme: the ephemeral nature of life. +Once found, we can never be lost. +Everything temporary. +Eyes bulging in panic, but no screams. +Some things in this world, we have to make them permanent ourselves. +This is our Hotel California. +He had made us a constant. +He made this ship—this life—a constant. +The one thing that was known. +Maybe everything we did, all the stories we told, maybe it was all lies. +We can never leave. +But ultimately, this ship, its purpose, our purpose—did it matter? +We each had our own theory. +Maybe that was enough. +And all of us, we were permanent characters in each others' stories. +“So, I'm on a ship now? +Maybe that made us more real. +Maybe it made us feel less alone. +“Mind if I join you?” +I turned to see Adrienne in the doorway. +She smiled, then crossed the room to join me by the window, not waiting for an answer. +“Some nights,” +You do this a lot?” +“I can't see the meaning in any of it. All these things I do, they're just to pass the time until I die.” +All these things I do, they're just to pass the time until I die.” +Adrienne looked at me, then back out through the window. +“You don't see a meaning because there is no meaning,” +“You don't see a meaning because there is no meaning,” she said. +A woman, introduced as Tiffany and neither tall nor beautiful, shrugged. +After all of it, as much as we feared being alone, we feared being vulnerable even more. +“Look what I found,” +“Look what I found,” Adrienne said. +In her hands was a bottle. +And what happens to Adrienne? +I couldn't find her. +Jefferson was in the Captain's Lounge, +Fact: Sound is a vibration. +“Up his dosage,” +“Up his dosage,” I heard the captain say. +I didn't want to forget. +I didn't want to be harvested. +The last thing I remember, I was tearing down the corridors. +“Now and then.” +Life boats, I thought. +Every ship had life boats. +In case of emergency, break glass. +I'd find one. +I'd put on a space suit, I'd get out of this ship, I'd find civilization again. +“What about my crewmates? +“What about my crewmates? Why didn't you save them?” +A space station. +Some other ship. +Any place but this place. +Failing all else, I'd suffocate. +Alone. +Ray, he caught me as I pounded on the corridor walls, finding no glass to break. +“Relax,” he told me, sliding a needle into my arm. +Why didn't you save them?” +“It'll pass,” he told me. +He held me in his arms until I stopped flailing. +It passed. +This is my Hotel California. +I can never leave. +As much as Jesse had irritated me, I didn't like the picture my brain drew of him floating in his grave, body swollen and bloated. +Who would tell his girl how he had died? +Quiet and peaceful, right? +“Couldn't,” +“Couldn't,” said the captain. +Jefferson, he called himself, clean-shaven and smart, a picture of the perfect entrepreneur. +“We're selective about our passengers,” +“We're selective about our passengers,” he continued. +“You fit the bill. +Such a relief to never again hear my crewmate Jesse natter about his girl back on Earth and that all-expenses-paid vacation-for-two she won last time he was on leave. +They didn't.” +Tiffany, she looked at the captain, grinned and flipped her greasy brown locks over her shoulder. +She turned to me. +“Come on,” +“Come on,” she said, before I could say anything else, “let's get you settled in.” +>Hotel California +“let's get you settled in.” +No time for questions. +No time for answers. +The ship had all the usual accoutrements (artificial gravity, tastefully painted walls, sound dampeners to keep the noise of the engines from driving the crew batshit insane, recycled air systems), and a few less-usual: lush carpeting, lighting that was decorative as well as functional, spacious corridors. +The occasional painting hung on the wall (generic landscapes and portraits of old people no one has ever met, primarily). +Glimpses of elegant rooms down the branching hallways; music; voices; the aroma of real food. +This was heaven. +“Where are we going?” +I asked. +Tiffany looked back. +“To your quarters. +“To your quarters. It's not far; you're not going to get blisters.” +It's not far; you're not going to get blisters.” +“No, I meant, where's the ship going? +“No, I meant, where's the ship going?

I'm Sarah, and this is Alexis—you must be the new pickup.” +She looked me over approvingly. +I looked longingly at the slices of cheddar olive bread as she whisked me over to the bar, but didn't protest. +The bar was manned by an expensive humanoid robot. +It turned toward Sarah's wave and acknowledged her with a nod, moments later setting a fluted glass of sparkling liquid in front of her. +I marveled at the robot's smoothness and coordination. +Clearly, it was a high-end model. +Sarah transferred the glass to my free hand and pulled me away from the bar for more introductions, with Alexis trailing after us. +I spent the evening listening, mostly. +Listening and stuffing my face with all the bits of fine food provided. +No one minded; Sarah's inner circle was content to fill our circle of couches with plenty of chatter. +Ray, a plump man who was grey where he wasn't bald. +Zheng, short and dark and lean, with a very intense gaze. +He made me a little uncomfortable. +I categorized them based on their appearances, hoping I'd be able to pick them out of the crowd again later. +This is more than the person would have sans space suit. +Most of their chatter was meaningless to me—stories of day-to-day activities, how so-and-so had been seen in so-and-so's table at lunch and my wasn't that a surprise, and why hadn't the chef concocted this delectable a selection of appetizers for the dance the other night, but of course those rolled meat pastries reminded one of the pastries back on Earth, didn't they, and this was somehow an interesting fact. +After the first half-hour, I stopped expending effort to keep names and stories and gossip straight. +“milk-fed” +“accidental” +And almost 6,000,000 companion pets are put to death in shelters throughout America. +What is even more shocking, is that more than 30 million animals die these cruel, painful deaths each year ... +needless deaths that could have been stopped! +And with so much animal cruelty and suffering going on, I’m sure you can understand why the work of The Humane Society of the United States is so vitally important and why we need the support of many other people, like you, to help us bring an end to animal suffering, abuse and neglect. +Since 1954, our programs and activities have been aimed at stopping and eliminating all animal abuse and we continue to spend a great deal of time investigating animal cruelty cases and working with the courts to prosecute the guilty parties. +We also work hard and lobby for better animal welfare laws at the local, state and federal government levels and we insist they enforce existing laws to prevent animal cruelty. +Your name -- and the name of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) -- are very important to the well-being of all animals because together we can prevent suffering and save lives. +Our primary goal, though, has always been to stop the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals before it happens, so we teach the public about the need to protect all animals from suffering, abuse and exploitation. +But while our programs and activities have been successful in reducing animal cruelty, we are constantly faced with new problems of animal suffering which need immediate attention and drain our resources. +It’s a difficult problem, because we have to fight the well-financed and powerful agri-business and research industries, but we do our best to protect the animals. +Right now, the problems are mounting and we need all the help we can get to stop animal cruelty. +And that’s where you can help. +You can be a lifesaving “friend” to all animals by telling friends and family about the important work of The HSUS and asking them to become vigilant in safe-guarding the lives of ALL animals. +“friend” +Today, we are placing special emphasis on pet adoption. +I hope you will visit your local animal shelter and consider adopting a dog or cat into your home. +Dear Friend of Animals, +It’s a wonderful way to enjoy their companionship and save the life of a loving animal, too. +I also hope you will give a big boost to our work to protect all animals by sending a generous tax-deductible donation today. +Your gift of at least $5 or $10 or even $15, will help The HSUS save millions of animals. +I know you care deeply for the well-being of all animals. +Please help us carry this message to others so that animal cruelty and abuse can be eliminated. +Sincerely, President +But your help of $5 or $10 or even $15 is absolutely needed today. +Please take this moment to be as generous as possible to send your best gift today, and don’t forget to use your free colorful pet stickers and name labels enclosed. +I wish I could tell you that everyone is concerned about protecting earth’s animals -- dogs, cats, farm animals and wildlife. +Thanks in advance. +NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20037. +OR IN FLORIDA— A COPY OF THE OFFICIAL REGISTRATION AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAY BE

Walbrecher Jr., an executive at San Francisco-based 1st Nationwide Bank, was named president and chief executive officer of Citadel Holding Corp. and its principal operating unit, Fidelity Federal Bank. +The latest results include some unusual write-downs, which had an after-tax impact of $4.9 million. +Those included costs associated with the potential Valley Federal Savings and Loan Association acquisition, which was terminated on Sept. 27, 1989. +In addition, operating results were hit by an increase in loan and real estate loss reserves. +In American Stock Exchange composite trading, Citadel shares closed yesterday at $45.75, down 25 cents. +The British paper, packaging and publishing concern, said profit from continuing lines fell 10% to #118 million from #130.6 million. +While there were no one-time gains or losses in the latest period, there was a one-time gain of #18 million in the 1988 period. +And while there was no profit this year from discontinued operations, last year they contributed #34 million, before tax. +Reed International PLC said that net income for the six months ended Oct. 1 slipped 5% to #89.7 million ($141.9 million), or 16 pence a share, from #94.8 million ($149.9 million), or 17.3 pence a share. +Pretax profit fell 3.7% to #128 million from #133 million and was below analysts' expectations of #130 million to #135 million, but shares rose 6 pence to 388 pence in early trading yesterday in London. +Reed is paying an interim dividend of 4.6 pence, up 15% from 4 pence a year earlier. +Sales fell 20% to #722 million. +Earnings were hurt by disposal of operations in its restructuring, Reed said. +Sales, however, were little changed at 2.46 billion guilders, compared with 2.42 billion guilders. +The Dutch chemical group said net income gained to 235 million guilders ($113.2 million), or 6.70 guilders a share, from 144 million guilders, or 4.10 guilders a share, a year ago. +The 32% state-owned DSM had eight million guilders of extraordinary charges in the latest quarter, mainly to reflect one-time losses in connection with the disposal of some operations. +N.V. DSM said net income in the third quarter jumped 63% as the company had substantially lower extraordinary charges to account for a restructuring program. +The charges were offset in part by a gain from the sale of the company's construction division. +The earnings growth also was fueled by the company's ability to cut net financing spending by half to around 15 million guilders. +Also, substantially lower Dutch corporate tax rates helped the company keep its tax outlay flat relative to earnings growth, the company added. +The Rockford, Ill., maker of fasteners also said it expects to post sales in the current fiscal year that are "slightly above" fiscal 1989 sales of $155 million. +"slightly above" +The company said its industrial unit continues to face margin pressures and lower demand. +In fiscal 1989, Elco earned $7.8 million, or $1.65 a share. +The company's stock fell $1.125 to $13.625 in over-the-counter trading yesterday. +Elco Industries Inc. said it expects net income in the year ending June 30, 1990, to fall below a recent analyst's estimate of $1.65 a share. +The truck maker said the significant drop in net income will result in lower earnings for the fiscal year. +In fiscal 1988, the company earned $17.3 million, or $1.92 a share, on revenue of $352.9 million. +Oshkosh Truck attributed the downturn in its earnings to higher start-up costs of its new chassis division, a softer motor-home market and higher administrative costs of compliance with government contractor regulations. +Oshkosh Truck Corp., Oshkosh, Wis., estimated earnings for its fourth quarter ended Sept. 30 fell 50% to 75% below the year-earlier $4.5 million, or 51 cents a share. +The company said it is in the process of phasing out John Deere, its current source of production for midsized motor home chassis. +In anticipation of the start-up of its new factory, the company said a larger-than-normal chassis supply has been built to carry it through the transition period. +The year-ago results included a $415 million charge in the 1988 second quarter for underperforming real estate and mortgage loans. +Net advanced to $94.2 million, or 89 cents a share, from $85 million, or 83 cents a share, including net realized investment gains of $31 million, up from $10 million a year ago. +But revenue declined to $3 billion from $3.2 billion. +Travelers Corp. 's third-quarter net income rose 11%, even though claims stemming from Hurricane Hugo reduced results $40 million. +The insurer's earnings from commercial property/casualty lines fell 59% in the latest quarter, while it lost $7.2 million in its personal property/casualty business, compared with earnings of $6.1 million a year ago. +Travelers's employee benefits group, which includes its group health insurance operations, posted earnings of $24 million, compared with a loss of $3 million last year. +In the first nine months, net was $306 million, compared with a loss of $195 million in the 1988 period. +Primerica, which had owned nearly 70% of Williams, will pay about 16.7 million shares, currently valued at almost $472 million, for the rest of Williams. +The financial-services company will pay 0.82 share for each Williams share. +Williams shares, which were to be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange after the close of composite trading yesterday, closed at $23.25, off 12.5 cents.

raises Ratners's U.S. presence to 450 stores. +About 30% of Ratners's profit already is derived from the U.S. +The Van Nuys, Calif., thrift had net income of $132,000, or three cents a share, a year ago. +The bulk of the pretax charge is a $62 million write-off of capitalized servicing at the mobile home financing subsidiary, which the company said had been a big drain on earnings. +The company said the one-time provision would substantially eliminate all future losses at the unit. +Valley Federal Savings & Loan Association took an $89.9 million charge as it reported a third-quarter loss of $70.7 million, or $12.09 a share. +Valley Federal also added $18 million to realestate loan reserves and eliminated $9.9 million of good will. +The thrift said that "after these charges and assuming no dramatic fluctuation in interest rates, the association expects to achieve near record earnings in 1990." +"after these charges and assuming no dramatic fluctuation in interest rates, the association expects to achieve near record earnings in 1990." +Valley Federal is currently being examined by regulators. +New loans continue to slow; they were $6.6 million in the quarter compared with $361.8 million a year ago. +The thrift has assets of $3.2 billion. +Midwest Financial has $2.3 billion in assets and eight banks. +The Midwest Financial subsidiary banks will continue to operate under their current names until early 1990, when each will adopt the First of America name. +Kalamazoo, Mich.-based First of America said it will eliminate the 13 management positions of the former Midwest Financial parent company. +But it said that severance payments to those executives not staying with the company will reduce First of America's operating results for 1989 by $3 million to $4 million, or 15 cents to 20 cents a share. +Under the plan, unsecured creditors, who are owed about $430 million, would receive about $92 million, or 21 cents for each dollar they are owed. +After these payments, about $225,000 will be available for the 20 million common shares outstanding. +Coleco Industries Inc., a once high-flying toy maker whose stock peaked at $65 a share in the early 1980s, filed a Chapter 11 reorganization plan that provides just 1.125 cents a share for common stockholders. +The Avon, Conn., company's stock hit a high in 1983 after it unveiled its Adam home computer, but the product was plagued with glitches and the company's fortunes plunged. +But Coleco bounced back with the introduction of the Cabbage Patch dolls, whose sales hit $600 million in 1985. +But as the craze died, Coleco failed to come up with another winner and filed for bankruptcy-law protection in July 1988. +The plan was filed jointly with unsecured creditors in federal bankruptcy court in New York and must be approved by the court. +Sony Columbia Acquisition Corp., formed for the Columbia deal, will formally take ownership of the movie studio later this month, a spokesman said. +Sony is paying $27 a share, or $3.55 billion, cash and is assuming $1.4 billion of long-term debt. +Still unresolved is Sony's effort to hire producers Jon Peters and Peter Guber to run the studio. +Sony Corp. completed its tender offer for Columbia Pictures Entertainment Inc., with Columbia shareholders tendering 99.3% of all common shares outstanding by the Tuesday deadline. +Sony's planned acquisition of Guber/Peters Entertainment Co. for $200 million is scheduled to close Monday. +Guber/Peters has been locked in litigation with Warner Communications Inc. in an attempt to get out of an exclusive production contract with Warner. +Both sides are in talks to settle the dispute. +A spokeswoman for Crum & Forster said employees were told early this week that numerous staff functions for the personal insurance lines were going to be centralized as a cost-cutting move. +She said the move would result in a after-tax charge of less than $4 million to be spread over the next three quarters. +By comparison, for the first nine months, Xerox earned $492 million, or $4.55 a share, on revenue of $12.97 billion. +Xerox Corp. has told employees in its Crum & Forster personal insurance operations that it is laying off about 300 people, or 25% of the staff. +Earnings at Xerox's financial-services operations actually rose slightly, but that was largely because capital gains at Crum & Forster offset Hurricane Hugo payments and the reserves set up to cover future payments. +Property/casualty insurance has been a tough business in recent quarters, as pricing has been cutthroat and natural disasters such as Hurricane Hugo and the California earthquake have resulted in huge payments. +"It's a cosmetic move," +"It's a cosmetic move," said Jonathan S. Gelles of Wertheim Schroder & Co. +According to Upjohn's estimates, only 50% to 60% of the 1,100 eligible employees will take advantage of the plan. +Upjohn further estimated that about 50% of the employees who leave for early retirement may be replaced. +As a result, Upjohn will likely trim only about 275 to 350 of its more than 21,000 jobs world-wide. +In composite trading on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, Upjohn shares rose 87.5 cents to $38.875 apiece. +An Upjohn spokesman said he had "heard nothing" to suggest the early retirement package was spurred by shareholder pressure or a potential bidder for the company, which occasionally has been the target of takeover speculation. +Upjohn officials said they couldn't estimate the size of the charge until they determine which employees, and how many, will participate in the retirement plan. +The company earlier this year adopted a shareholder-rights plan to ward off unwanted suitors. +The spokesman said it is the first early retirement plan offered under its two-year cost-control strategy. +Earlier staff-reduction moves have trimmed about 300 jobs, the spokesman said. +But the pharmaceutical company said it "anticipates the long-term savings resulting from the plan's implementation will more than offset short-term costs." +"anticipates the long-term savings resulting from the plan's implementation will more than offset short-term costs." +The program, available to Upjohn employees 55 years old or older, could increase an individual's retirement benefits 10% to 20%. +Upjohn Co. said it will offer an early retirement package to as many as 1,100 employees in a cost-cutting move expected to result in a fourth-quarter charge. +Chairman Theodore Cooper called the program part of the company's two-year strategy to implement budget constraints and "an effective headcount-control program." +"an effective headcount-control program." +But some analysts questioned how much of an impact the retirement package will have, because few jobs will end up being eliminated. +Oy Waertsilae is to contribute 200 million markkaa, most of it as subordinated debt, and take a minority stake in the new company. +Customers holding contracts for Waertsilae Marine's undelivered ships are expected to subscribe most of the remaining 170 million markkaa in share capital, government officials said. +Waertsilae Marine's biggest creditor is Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines Inc. Carnival, which has three ships on order from Waertsilae Marine, presented claims for $1.5 billion damages in the bankruptcy court this week. +"The situation is that the bankruptcy court will get out of the shipbuilding business. +Everything will be taken over by the new company," said Christian Andersson, executive vice president of Oy Waertsilae, former parent of Waertsilae Marine. +The Finnish government and major creditors of bankrupt shipyard Waertsilae Marine Industries Oy agreed in principle to form a new company to complete most of the troubled shipyard's backlog of 15 ships. +Once its ownership is finalized, the new company will open talks with state-appointed receivers to buy or lease Waertsilae Marine's shipyard facilities. +Subcontractors will be offered a settlement and a swift transition to new management is expected to avert an exodus of skilled workers from Waertsilae Marine's two big shipyards, government officials said. +Under an accord signed yesterday, the government and Union Bank of Finland would become major shareholders in the new company, each injecting 100 million Finnish markkaa ($23.5 million). +Ralston attributed its fourth-quarter slump partly to higher costs of ingredients in the pet food business as well as competitive pressures, which required higher advertising spending. +For the year, pet food volume was flat, the company said. +Its cereal division realized higher operating profit on volume increases, but also spent more on promotion. +The Continental Baking business benefited from higher margins on bread and on increased cake sales, it added. +Ralston said its Eveready battery unit was hurt by continuing economic problems in South America. +The St. Louis company earned $45.2 million, or 65 cents a share, compared with $84.9 million, or $1.24 a share, a year earlier. +Sales in the latest period were $1.76 billion, a 13% increase from last year's $1.55 billion. +For the year ended Sept. 30, Ralston earned $422.5 million, or $6.44 a share, up 8.9% from $387.8 million, or $5.63 a share. +Ralston Purina Co. reported a 47% decline in fourth-quarter earnings, reflecting restructuring costs as well as a more difficult pet food market. +This year's results included a gain of $70.2 million on the disposal of seafood operations. +Sales for the full year were $6.6 billion, up 13% from $5.8 billion. +Ralston said its restructuring costs include the phase-out of a battery facility in Greenville, N.C., the recent closing of a Hostess cake bakery in Cincinnati and a reduction in staff throughout the company. +The battery plant, which makes rechargeable nickel cadmium and carbon zinc products, will be closed over the next year or so, a spokesman said. +Any secret can be pirated, the experts said, if it is transmitted over the air. +They need only position themselves near a company's satellite dish and wait. +"You can have a dozen competitors stealing your secrets at the same time," Mr. Matchett said, adding : "It's a pretty good bet they won't get caught." +The only way to catch an electronic thief, he said, is to set him up with erroneous information. +Even though electronic espionage may cost U.S. firms billions of dollars a year, most aren't yet taking precautions, the experts said. +By contrast, European firms will spend $150 million this year on electronic security, and are expected to spend $1 billion by 1992. +That was the message delivered by government and private security experts at an all-day conference on corporate electronic espionage. +Still, encrypting corporate communications is only a partial remedy. +One expert, whose job is so politically sensitive that he spoke on condition that he wouldn't be named or quoted, said the expected influx of East European refugees over the next few years will greatly increase the chances of computer-maintenance workers, for example, doubling as foreign spies. +Moreover, he said, technology now exists for stealing corporate secrets after they've been "erased" from a computer's memory. +No personal computer, not even the one on a chief executive's desk, is safe, this speaker noted. +W. Mark Goode, president of Micronyx Inc., a Richardson, Texas, firm that makes computer-security products, provided a new definition for Mikhail Gorbachev's campaign for greater openness, known commonly as glasnost. +Under Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Goode said, the Soviets are openly stealing Western corporate communications. +He cited the case of a Swiss oil trader who recently put out bids via telex for an oil tanker to pick up a cargo of crude in the Middle East. +"Hostile and even friendly nations routinely steal information from U.S. companies and share it with their own companies," said Noel D. Matchett, a former staffer at the federal National Security Agency and now president of Information Security Inc., Silver Spring, Md. +Among the responses the Swiss trader got was one from the Soviet national shipping company, which hadn't been invited to submit a bid. +The Soviets' eavesdropping paid off, however, because they got the contract. +It "may well be" that theft of business data is "as serious a strategic threat to national security" as it is a threat to the survival of victimized U.S. firms, said Michelle Van Cleave, the White House's assistant director for National Security Affairs. +The conference was jointly sponsored by the New York Institute of Technology School of Management and the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association, a joint industry-government trade group. +We don't know who is winning the drug war in Latin America, but we know who's losing it -- the press. +Over the past six months, six journalists have been killed and 10 kidnapped by drug traffickers or leftist guerrillas -- who often are one and the same -- in Colombia. +An hour later, the paper's circulation manager, Miguel Soler, was shot and killed near his home. +El Espectador has been a special target because of the extraordinary courage of its publisher and his staff. +At Monterrey, publisher Luis Gabriel Cano, although shaken by the murders, issued a statement saying: "We will not cease our fight against drug trafficking. +They want to terrify the press and in particular El Espectador because it has always been a torchbearer in this war." +This comes from a man whose brother, Guillermo, was murdered in 1986. +The publishers in Monterrey command no battalions, but they agreed to express their outrage with editorials in today's editions. +Many will use a common editorial. +A final statement yesterday said: "While some advances are being made in nations throughout the hemisphere, the state of press freedom in the Americas still must be regarded as grim as long as journalists and their families are subject to the crudest form of censorship: death by assassination." +The report charged that Panama's Manuel Noriega is not only in league with the drug traffickers but also is bullying the press as never before. +It added: "In Cuba, public enemy No. 1 of press freedoms in the hemisphere, repression of journalists both Cuban and foreign is worse than ever." +Over the past 12 years, at least 40 journalists have died there. +And in Nicaragua, promises of press freedom by the Sandinistas "have not materialized." +As it happens, the four countries cited, Colombia, Cuba, Panama and Nicaragua, are not only where the press is under greatest attack but also are linked by the drug trade and left-wing politics. +Noriega is close to Castro and may once have been his agent. +Sandinistas Thomas Borge and the Ortega brothers are Castro proteges; he backed their takeover of Nicaragua. +In Colombia, the drug-financed guerrillas trying to seize the country and destroy democracy include M-19, which Castro has clearly backed. +Robert Merkel, a former U.S. attorney handling drug indictments in Florida, doesn't think for a minute that Castro's much publicized trials of high officials engaged in the drug trade mean he has broken off with the Medellin drug cartel. +The attacks have intensified since the Colombian government began cracking down on the traffickers in August, trying to prevent their takeover of the country. +"If the cartel succeeds in blackmailing the Colombian authorities into negotiations, the cartel will be in control and Fidel can exploit his past relationships with them," he told the Journal's David Asman recently. +The struggle against the drug lords in Colombia will be a near thing. +He will probably be extradited to the U.S. for trial under an extradition treaty President Virgilia Barco has revived. +Mr. Barco has refused U.S. troops or advisers but has accepted U.S. military aid. +President Bush has agreed to meet within 90 days with Mr. Barco, President Alan Garcia of Peru and President Jaime Paz Zamora of Bolivia to discuss the drug problem. +After the Panama fiasco, they will need some reassurance. +Certainly, the Colombian press is much in need of that. +The slaughter in Colombia was very much on the minds of 450 editors and publishers from Latin America, the United States, the Caribbean and Canada attending the 45th general assembly of the Inter-American Press Association in Monterrey, Mexico, this week. +The paper's local administrator, Maria Luz Lopez, was shot dead, and her mother wounded, while her car was stopped for a red light. +After all, conservation begins with saving those at-risk places -— our forests and deserts, wetlands and oceans, mangroves and coral reefs — that provide a lifeline for precious animals and plants. +To this end, we’ve designated some 200 ecoregions, those with the most outstanding and diverse habitats, as our Global 200. +We’re now creating model projects in 25 of these high-priority areas -- in order to balance conservation with people’s need to use natural resources to sustain their livelihoods. +Dear Friend, +With your increased commitment, we can intensify our campaigns to protect species that are in grave peril by both the loss of habitat and the illegal trading in animal parts. +Quite simply, WWF must do even more to safeguard the tigers, rhinos, pandas. whales, and other creatures that still remain in the wild. +As a member of World Wildlife Fund, you know that our efforts are essential to preserving the astonishing, yet desperately threatened diversity of life here on Earth. +While we still have the chance. +So in addition to our efforts to conserve wildlife preserves, we’ll escalate our trailblazing program to find alternatives for traditional tiger-based medicines ... rescue more rhinos in Kenya and Nepal through our ambitious translocation projects ... complete the first survey of China’s pandas in over a decade ... and fight to halt all commercial whaling, as well as the whale meat trade. +We’ll also award more small grants through our Species Action Fund to help a wide range of animals, including whooping cranes, giant river otters, and Tibetan antelopes. +And with your increased commitment, we can battle against destructive global forces that transcend regional and national boundaries. +For instance, our innovative “Forests for Life Campaign” establishes an international network of parks and reserves. +“Forests for Life Campaign” +This will protect at least 10% of each different type of forest found in every country. +Another WWF goal? +To end government subsidies that promote overfishing and to encourage new markets for sustainably managed fisheries. +The challenges we face are daunting, to be sure. +However, I’m confident that by joining together again, we can make exciting progress in the year ahead. +I want to ask you, therefore, to renew your valued World Wildlife Fund membership and, hopefully, at the Living Planet Society level of $750. +When you do, you’ll extend your commitment as an esteemed partner with WWF -- the largest and most effective international conservation group in existence. +Now, with your increased commitment, we can save more of our planet’s cherished wild species and their irreplaceable habitats ... as we strive to ensure a healthy and thriving future for our extraordinary natural world. +I’m also hoping you know that you play a vital role in achieving our conservation goals around the globe. +Once again, please accept my warmest gratitude for your past support And please, take a moment today to renew your critically important WWF annual membership. +Thank you. +Sincerely, Kathryn S. Fuller President +P.S. As a Living Planet Society member, you’ll receive the wonderful array of benefits described in the enclosed brochure. +Plus, to acknowledge your increased gift of $750, we’ll send you a free copy of our stunning coffee-table photography book, Living Planet Preserving Edens of the Earth. +Please let it be a constant reminder of all you’re doing to preserve our endangered wildlife! +That’s why I want to extend my appreciation for your last membership contribution of $500. +And why I’m writing you today to ask you to renew your support for the pivotal year ahead. +With your increased

Ethics Committee's report on Sen. Robert G. Torricelli's dealings with David Chang: +A series of snapshots and images are then a visual resume for McCall. +On the basis of thousands of pages of information developed in an earlier federal inquiry into Torricelli's activities, the committee chastised him for using poor judgment and disregarding Senate rules in his dealings with the former donor, David Chang. +It can open doors to opportunity. +But so far he has pushed the point only with the Palestinians. +This is entirely insufficient. +New York cannot afford to have a gaping hole that mocks the city and its process for rebuilding what was destroyed. +Opening the process to other designers, both here and internationally, will help separate this urban plan from the ordinary. +Among these are rules governing emissions that limit visibility in the national parks, and rules governing pollution that drifts eastward from Midwestern power plants. +A lawyer for Chang, Bradley D. Simon, said Tuesday night that he was disappointed that the ethics panel had confirmed only a handful of the gifts he said his client had given Torricelli, and that the panel did not deal with what he said were actions by Torricelli to thwart the federal investigation. +"Senator Torricelli provided the committee with a full explanation of sources of income and any funds used for cash purposes," she said. +With thousands of trees and flowers in bloom, we are having a beautiful Spring! +Your Georgia O'Keeffe membership, please note, includes free admission to all art-related activities of the IMA's Young Friends of Art group. +Additionally, I am sending traditional background materials on the Museum and the two latest issues of our Previews Magazine detailing upcoming events, exhibitions, and educational programs. +These guides are perfect for your family day hikes—they’re pocket-size, full of helpful information such as what to wear and how to prepare, and the highlights chart makes choosing a walk easy +Induded in your gift set: Nature walks in and around New York City Quiet Water Canoe Guide: New York +That does not change the fact that they did just that. +This booing by the crowd, not mentioned with a single word in your transcript or your article, shows that the crowd was fully aware of the controversy they would cause by coming to Littleton after children were being killed there -- and they effectively said "Fuck you". +To say that they could not have done otherwise is a bold lie by Moore's critics. +Regarding the NRA website excerpt about the case and the highlighting of the phrase "48 hours after Kayla Rolland is pronounced dead": +The camera lingers on Bush/Cheney posters, and the protestor is quoted as saying that "we wanted to let the NRA know that we haven't forgotten about Kayla Rolland". +It also raises questions about America's foreign policy of recent decades, questions which have been all but ignored by Moore's critics. +His main mistake is that he does not use population corrected data, his second mistake is that he does not cite his sources (and, as you correctly point out, he probably uses different reporting methods for the different countries). +A good comparison of international homicide rates can be found on the relatively neutral guncite.com website. +The most shameful part of the ongoing attacks against Moore is that these answers have been all but ignored by his critics. +What's the difference between that mass destruction and the mass destruction over at Columbine High School?" +"Although other units of Lockheed Martin Corporation elsewhere in the country produce weapons to support the defense of the U.S., we make no weapons at the Littleton-area facility Moore visited." +Why is someone so young not having fun with friends on a Friday night. +I feel your British readers would appreciate that. +I sometimes wish I could forget that Pendelton is the Braves hitting coach. +nota bene: An overdue library book is a crime against Humanities. +Antie’s stalks would also have receptors for the hydrocarbons themselves, which research shows indicate to the ants whether another ant is their nestmate (Arnold, et al, 1996, as cited in Gordon & Mehdiabadi, 1999), receptors to detect food, and receptors for three types of pheromones: those released by successful foragers returning with food, those released by successful patrollers returning to the nest, and those marking piles of trash as midden. +I propose here the theoretical construction and programming of a robot (hereafter referred to as Antie) that will be able to infiltrate a red harvester ant nest, switching between the foraging, patrolling and midden work behaviors. +Two simultaneously operated motors will open and close the grippers, emulating the grasping power of the ant’s mandibles. +These behaviors will often be used in other subroutines running on a schema basis, and when combined with the forward cruise function, should cause the robot to move at an angle. +These three behaviors each present different puzzles to the ant and to the modeler, though there is some overlap, particularly with navigational problems. +The code may look something like this: +A rudimentary blueprint of Antie is attached. +We try to be even-handed in opposing all terrorism, although we recognize that the greatest terrorist threat in the world today comes from radical Muslims who falsely believe that Allah approves of their criminal behavior against Israel, The United States, Russia, India, the Philippines, Australia, and others whom they falsely believe to be "waging war against Allah. +Rev.

This murder was in Jordan, and even though the Jordanian royals come off as urbane Westerners, there is obviously an undercurrent of extreme Islamism in some of the population.

The fact is that there really is a problem of police feeling justified in shooting people whenever they feel threatened, but this doesn't just happen to blacks. I can think of four cases off the top of my head where innocent unarmed white men were killed by police. One of them was the recent case where the guy who died was the victim of "swatting". He wasn't involved in an crime at all, but the police burst into his house with guns blazing and he died. And the cop won't be prosecuted. I hope that blacks who care about this issue will realize they are being manipulated and will join forces with others who don't want to live in a police state. +Funny how it always comes down the to the gun and not the person wielding it.

IT's very sad to think there aren't many people left to share these stories. I remember being in Junior high and hearing someone speak about it, and to think kids these days will never get that.

You'd think all the different factions would finally agree to disagree and move on but instead they just seem to want to keep killing. I understand why since so many different groups want to destroy the other side leaving smaller nations like Yemen to have to defend themselves since the other factions seem to be unable to leave in peace. +Overall the problem here seems to be that overuse of resources in a certain area needs to be stopped. Simply pumping more water isn't the issue and perhaps the fact that too many people are trying to use that water source should be something that's looked into. There should also be some sort of testing and filtering system put into place to protect the people. +This article greatly disturbs me. The fact that we treat Muslims and people of their culture like dogs and terrorist is disgusting and wrong both morally and ethically. The way they are being shown on tv and media is wrong and horrible. Our president thinks that if we ban muslims from the country, all of a sudden our nation is safe. When the fact of the matter is, most shootings that happen in this country, are from Caucasians. Muslims are shown in bad light due to some extremist and they do not deserve this treatment. +Can you imagine being forced to live in such a violent place??

My heart breaks for this people, as they don't have anyone to turn to for help. They feel powerless, hungry and scared. +As we all know, there has been much media on police brutality. There are many police officers that believe they are above the law, and the common citizens doesn't have any rights when they are interacting with them. Unfortunately, it's very sad to say, that even if a citizen is innocent, if they don't cooperate to the fullest, the police can physically harm them, even possibly lead to being shot and killed. This is very scary! So, while I don't believe all officers are like this, one is too many! +Wow. So... I sure as fuck do not have that much to say about that stupid article / news story. But, I guess that I'll try to think of something. It's also not at all something that I would share or want to share with anyone that I know. It's not relevant to me or the people that I know and care about. It's not something that I would just choose to read either. Ok. Have you seen this article about the dad that killed his daughter's molester? Apparently she was molested when she was young, the guy went to jail for a year and a half and was let out. Many years later, the dad went and shot the guy. That's pretty much it. I don't know why I'm sending this to you, but what do you think?

Many of you know I use to have a lab. They are often the most sweetest, loving dogs around. I cannot imagine why someone would take out a gun and shoot one. This is another example (there seem to be countless that happen everyday) of why people should not own guns. I know some people will say it is not a person, but this is still another needless murder that occurred because of a gun. +It is so sad and terrible how these alternative medicine manufacturers take advantage of people. So many people believe that these things are healthier or will make them feel better than traditional medication, but clearly they just make things worse. These companies pray on uneducated people and it leads to such terrible outcomes. These people don't deserve these health problems. +I absolutely hate seeing this kind of violent racism in the world. Too many people think that just because someone is different they are less worthy of life than themselves. It is honestly just terrible. It feels like we are seeing more and more of this everyday. Humans really need to come together and realize that we are all the same, and there is not reason to cause each other harm and pain such as this. +This is so unfortunate for the family of this father and son. They were probably just trying to have a nice together, but did not research the area well enough or did not pay proper attention. There are so many things that could go wrong, and in this case, they all seemed to have gone wrong. I feel bad for them. The world can be pretty unforgiving. +i think that mr mayweather should have to pay that money back if he still has the neckless or give the neckless back to the store with a price tag like that the company could really need that money 1.4 million is alot of money for a company not to get. also we know that he has the money to pay for the neckless so im not sure why he doesnt just pay the rest of the balance and not have to go to court and pay all those fees. +We need to recognize that global warming is real and acknowledge our part in it. We as a globe need to take note and work together. The Great Barrier Reef is one of our planet's more amazing wonders and we need to do all we can to protect it, while the Amazon isn't doing absolutely fantastic we've improved the quality and conservation. +It's a shame that we're seeing this sort of rise in violence. It's not shock that after years of the right bullying the left into tolerating intolerance that we've come to this point. People aren't even trying to hide their racism anymore, and they're intentionally making shit worse to justify their oppressive agendas. +How can people take something like relationships for granted? It's infuriating that in a world where I have to fight for the right to marry the person I love and adore and want to pamper and cherish and share a life with that there are assholes out there like this with anger issues who will get in their alleged partner's face and shout. The hate is just mind blowing. +I think timeshares are silly and this article just confirms it. In the article it talks about how hard it is for some people to get rid of timeshares after they have them. Timeshare salesmen are so pushy when you first sign up for one I can't imagine how hard it is to get out of one. I'm just glad that I don't have a timeshare and never will. I'm sure they have some many tiny provisions in their contracts that make them really difficult to get out of successfully. +This is disgusting! I wish that the international community would step up and stop these atrocities from continuing to happen. But no one in the international community seems to care. Its so sad, it is like another Rwanda is happening right in front of us but no one wants to spend the money to do anything about it because it is seen as just another third world backwater. Things need to change before the international order is completely forgotten about. +This is horribly to read about. The sheer number of people dying every day, just trying to escape on boats, is quite alarming. Think about people from one country equaling those people dying in gang violence in major, crime ridden societies - but JUST for people attempting to escape via water. What should we do about this? Open our borders? Is it enough to simply help them get out of where they are to some place safer? Obviously this isnt exacly their fault, especially the kids. But what can we do? Will money help? Probably not. Open borders will. Bring them here and help them find a more peaceful way through thehri own lives. +India Kashmir: The teenager blinded by pellets — Photographer Abid Bhat here describes the life of 14-year-old Insha Mushtaq, who lost vision in both her eyes after being hit by pellets in Indian-administered Kashmir. "I just want to ask the security personnel who fired pellets at me what my fault was," Miss Mushtaq says, as she stands by the same window she was sitting at when pellets blinded her. She has been in and out of hospitals for the past three months in an attempt to regain her vision. Nothing has worked so far, but she remains hopeful. Ms Mushtaq says she wanted to become a doctor before losing her vision. She brings out her text books to show me, and flips the pages though she cannot read them anymore. "I can only feel them now," she says tearfully +Details and information about the past is used to make decisions, as past experiences of feelings influence current decision-making, how people will feel in the future, and if they want to feel that way again. Gilbert and Wilson conducted a study to show how pleased a person would feel if they purchased flowers for themselves for no specific reason (birthday, anniversary, or promotion etc.) and how long they thought that feeling would last. People who had no experience of purchasing flowers for themselves and those who had experienced buying flowers for themselves were tested. Results showed that those who had purchased flowers in the past for themselves felt happier and that feeling lasted longer for them than for a person who had never experienced purchasing flowers for themselves +the trumph had made a huge impact on a american politics. he had made some terrible move on the politics and it had made the other countries to trun on america.after a white supremacist carried out a massacre of black churchgoers in Charleston, S.C., it seemed as though the Confederate battle flag. these were also made some huge impact on the american politics that had made by trumph. But now that explosive and complicated vestige of the Old South is back, in a new — and, to some Americans, newly disturbing context. During President-elect Donald J. Trump’s campaign.When he was still running for president in June 2015, Trump was asked whether or not the Confederate flag flying above the South Carolina state house needed to be taken down. “I think it probably does. +Sleep is very important, and I’m quite sure you know that already. However, some aspects of life–like habits, even smartphones, and stress in work–affect our sleep cycles. A CDC-backed study published in February of this year has found that about a third of Americans aren’t getting enough sleep.Multiple factors affect the country’s snooze patterns, and one of which is routine. Many people, researchers at the CDC say, are not prioritizing sleep.So how can you force yourself to go early in bed? Well, this new research that we’ll discuss might convince you to review your priorities and put sleep above many, because you still can. +Clearly, this was an opinion piece. It is upsetting that so many try to pass off an opinion piece as a news article these days. That is exactly what fake news is. The writer wasn't even trying to hide it. She included "hhhhhhmmmmmmm, hhhmmmm, hhhmmmm" as part of her article. LMFAO. That is when there was not longer any reason to take it seriously anymore. Sure, some of the info in there may be accurate, but the bias overwhelms all. +The article says that- Trump to supporters harassing minorities: 'Stop it' — Donald Trump on Sunday told his supporters to stop harassing minorities, in his first televised sit-down interview since becoming President-elect. "I am so saddened to hear that," Trump told CBS' Lesley Stahl on "60 Minutes" when she said Latinos and Muslims are facing harassment. "And I say, 'Stop it.' If it -- if it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: 'Stop it.'" Trump directed his comments to his own supporters whom said have written racist slogans or chanted degrading messages -- particularly in schools. It was a powerful appeal to a nation ripped apart by the divisive 2016 campaign. Trump's election has left Democrats angry and many minorities fearful about the future. +Hello friend, how have you been lately?, I have some curiosity about an article that I read recently, that helped me a lot, that I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this , for example: that a study published online through the journal Current Biology revealed that in the period of 25 years, half the size of the Amazon, and twice the size of the state of Alaska, has been exhausted. +Hello, how have you been lately? I am curious about an article I read recently, said that an Instagram publication of a mother reached almost 400 "likes" in her account and more than 800 "likes" in the account of the 4th quarter of the Bodies Project. Birth Without Fear also published his photo on Facebook, where he reached more than 6,000 likes., I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this one. +Hello, I have to tell you something friend, I have some curiosity about an article that I read recently, said that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. The next day, a man discovered that someone had painted swastikas in an abandoned store in South Philadelphia, I was hoping that this type of information could be in the article +I have read the article and think that it's a story I have read many times. ISIS claims that the person is part of their army, but there is no evidence that the person was supported by them. It also shows that it's almost impossible to tell whether someone will become a terrorist based on their personality or what religion they are. +It's hard to believe that they would go through with this, but they probably want economic growth and that will need extra airport runways. The residents are understandably upset because they will lose their homes, but will likely be compensated. I do think that politicians that said they would vote against expansion and then change their minds, should be voted out. +Some scum bag is at it again stealing naked pictures of people simply because they are celebrities and he can make money from doing it. It blows my mind the level of shit people will do in order to make a buck. It seems like people treat celebrities as if they are not people at all. People that leave negative comments on celebrity pages are taking it to a new level. People say the shittiest things to each other when they're hiding behind their computer screen. This particular guy took it to the extreme by stealing their private photos. +I just read the most terrible article about war and terrorism, I couldn't even imagine the fear these people are living. They are being forced from their homes by threats of death. The conditions in this area are terrible. They're low on most supplies including food. So prices for everything are inflated to prices they can't even afford. I literally cannot imagine at all living in a place like this. There are so many others senseless killings in that area already, I would fear for the life of my family and myself! +I just read an article about women encouraging other women to get IUD's before Trump took office. They were worried that trump in office will restrict women's access to affordable birth control. They think because the IUD can last for so long that women should get them in soon. I don't think these women need to be out getting IUD's, there are other ways to prevent pregnancy. If they are really concerned, condoms work well. +They should really figure out if these earthquakes are due to fracking wastewater, and if so stop the practice. Politicians aren’t concerned about the plight of the ordinary people though. Fracking companies have lobbyists and money, while the victims of the earthquakes have neither. Ultimately nothing will get addressed unless something catastrophic happens. +Just because someone happens to be a celebrity doesn't mean that their suffering is any less valid than the average person's. We should learn to recognize that as a society, we must come to understand the universal nature of suffering as applicable to all people. One's status in life should not leave them any more open to suffering than others. +He said it would not stop him returning to the field to help save wildlife. Van Niekerk said they were called last weekend to assist a ranger who had caught a poacher near Sabi river. “My colleagues and I, with four Mozambican police officers, were transporting the poacher to the station, which was about 30km away, when he escaped from the vehicle. I chased after the poacher and caught him. I handed him back to the police officer. Suddenly, a mob from the community started moving towards us,” said Van Niekerk. The police officers who were with them ran away. “We, the rangers, were the targets. +Look at this article. Notice anything missing? Yeah, any sources or any kind of backing for these claims OR any sources for the supposed "real estate developers" giving false data. So, watch how well my feelings beat up this straw man I've set up! You'd think they'd have noticed how long Chicken Little has been going on about this and yet still no fallen sky. +What an unfortunate situation--and a total shame that regulations on these conditions aren't more thorough. Of course the reputation of the kennel should be considered suspect now. The article says that the business will remain open, but I think it would be best to close up shop. After a news piece like this, I don't think many owners will be bringing their pets to stay. +It's fascinating to think that these celebrities were fooled so easily by a regular guy. Of course the man's actions are reprehensible, and his jail sentence seems reasonable, but you'd think that celebrities would be more conscious of phishing attacks. Especially since these people gave over their passwords willingly, it's hard to understand the legal precedent for sending someone to jail over this. +I had no idea there is a stunning process when killing chickens, but it makes sense. Unfortunately it seems to not work very well. For all these pieces of convoluted technology being used, no one has been clever enough to think of the solution that we could eat less meat. Certainly it's no secret that animal agriculture is terrible for the planet. Hopefully this will be the next piece in a long line of information pushing us towards vegetarianism. +It's not pleasant to think of these animals being mistreated, but for all the problems in the world something like this seems rather minor. Of course it would be great to ensure good keeping of animals, but there are more pressing tragedies happening much more often to human beings that we should focus on before addressing these issues of occasional animal mis-handling. +Perception of the physical world does not necessarily result in a universal reaction among receivers (see emotions), but varies depending upon one's tendency to handle the situation, how the situation relates to the receiver's past experiences, and any number of other factors. Feelings are also known as a state of consciousness, such as that resulting from emotions, sentiments or desires. People buy products in hopes that the product will make them feel a certain way: either happy, excited or beautiful. Or, they find the product useful in some way, even indirectly such as to support a charity or for altruistic economic reasons. Some people buy beauty products in hopes of achieving a state of happiness or a sense of self beauty or as an act or expression of beauty +Hello friend, It's sad that thousands of hectares of tropical forests in Latin America have been changed from their natural habitat to grow bananas. The rise of different types of diseases that focus on banana tress is alarming. I hope we can find a cure for these diseases before it's too late. I did not realize bananas were a genetic accident. Lucky for us! +Hello friend, This article cracks me up. As someone who hates Trump, I think it's hilarious. Realistically, the mother should've just talked to her son about the reasons she dislikes Trump. Trying to convince him that Trump is a immoral person would've been a better use of her time. What makes me mad though, is that people called CPS on her. People always trying to get involved in everybody's business. +Check out this article. Remember I was telling you the other day about that man from the bank who approached me in the market? He was asking about my savings plan and long and short term goals. He also asked about my mortgage. I bet he has the same pressures as the bank workers in Pennsylvania. So shady! I would never want to work under that kind of pressure. +I like Lena Heady, and, even though she plays one of the worst mother's on television, I can imagine that she must be a ball of nerves over this custody dispute. I can;t imagine having to go through this, especially since the custody seemed to be agreed upon. Her ex husband doesn't seem to be thinking about Wylie's best interest - only his own. If it were me, I'd fight tooth and nail to kepp my son in the same country as me. +YOu hear about the environmental cost of using coal, but it is very upsetting to read about specific people and how their lives have changed, for the worse, because of coal mining. Further upsetting is to hear about the animals effected. Elephants invading villages, being electrocuted, hurting humans, all because their land is being taken for coal. Sad! People are dying from lack of fresh air and water, and it is wrong. +It must be extremely difficult to find these lone wolf terrorist. I can only begin to understand the type of manpower needed to pursue these people. I think that most of them are mentally ill and hard to catch before they commit the crime. It makes me think of the movie Minority Report and how that type of technology might become available with the advance of A.I.. +There are immigrants in this country that are having a hard time assimilation in to the American Culture. The article blames Trump I believe there are most things at work here than just him. It seems the system is working as intended and it was in place before Trump. People need to be able to assimilate as it keeps our country at peace. What do you think we should do about it? +You are not going to believe this article I just read about something akin to torture, called conversion therapy. It's something, designed by quacks, that is supposed to convert gay or queer people to heterosexual. Are you kidding me? People are who they are in life and are not to be changed, but embraced and supported. The regimen these poor people had to go through in this so called therapy was barbaric, and would not be used in North Korea as a torture. It's unbelievable what people do in the name of helping. +Hi. Just read an article about how Russia is moving some of their military ships near to Britain. What's the deal there? I can really figure out what the Russian government is up to. The article says they are stating the want to keep major waterways safe, but I didn't know there was a problem. Maybe they're creating one. +Those poor families in the Middle East. Near the city of Yemen. I guess so much fighting over there has led to really unhealthy living conditions. They are having new suspected cases of cholera all the time, and most of those ill are young kids. I can't even imagine such bad living conditions. These kids deserve a better life. Not fear and illness. +Seems like a pretty ordinary occurrence. I'm sure their families are upset but I'm less sure this kind of story deserves space in a newspaper. A couple people got sick and they died. Anyway, it's a mildly sad story but it's not noteworthy or newsworthy. I don't understand why stories like this run in the paper. +The article was about smokers and the prevalence of cancer among cigarette smokers. It indicated that the tobacco lobby results in weak tobacco control and a low effort among politicians to try and stop people from smoking. Quite frankly, I'm not sure why I should care about smokers. The evidence is there for them to see, yet they persist in their bad habits. Government can only do so much and it makes little sense for me to worry about another person's health when they are consciously making the decision to kill themselves. +Yuck. Although I don't think you can say it was particularly disturbing for women because a lot of women voted for the misogynistic ass. The real problem was reasonable people didn't bother to vote. I did. And after the election news I was so depressed, I stayed home and drank wine that day. I didn't have to work. +Its sad and all but when is there every not trouble in the middle east? You know my grandmother was Syrian so this maybe should be more personal for me, but its kind of not. Those people are crazy. Fell sorry for the civilians though and the united states should really take a lot of refugees from there. +Hello! I just read this article and would like to share it with you. It is about the oak trees dying along the west coast. I know you are interested and we've talked about this before. It seems to be caused by beetles and they are multiplying faster because of warm temperatures. I wish there was something more we were doing to stop climate change and these warm temps! +Passing this article along to you! Remember how we were just discussing this? I guess there is enough doubt now in the death of the Polish former president that died in that plane crash that they now are exhuming the body. Some people suspect that the Russians actually poisoned him and the crash is a cover up! Not everyone's happy about this though as it might seem disrespectful. +I cannot believe that this happened. I feel so bad for her! Can you believe she received threats on twitter? It is cyber bullying for sure. I cannt imagine this happening to me, how scary! I am so sad that she had to cancel her account because of crazy people. Ughhh! I hope that these bullies are caught and she can go back to her account. +It is unreal that so many issues can come out of a natural disaster like this. YOu would think that we could pull together more and help people! I cannot imagine what would happen to us if a natural dister happened here, we would never recover. This is soo scary. I am thankful for all of the people volunteering time to help! +Can you believe that these women have to endure this?? I am so thankful that they are standing up for themselves and trying to regain some of their rights. It is crazy that things like this still go on in this world. I stand in support of these brave ladies and I hope that no undue harm is caused to them. +Can you believe this happened? Ughh. How scary! I realize that people can be angry with each other, but pushing someone in front of a train??? It is amazing to me that people are so out of control that they can't even handle a verbal dispute with someone. Its easy, just walk away! I guess I should stay away from the train platform +I had never heard of people shaming women who give birth by C section. This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I'm sure the majority of C sections are medically required to help the mother and the baby, not because women are just so eager to undergo major surgery. Why do people even care if someone gave birth by C section instead of natural birth anyway. +Wow, can you believe he survived in the jungle that long on his own? It is amazing what the human body is capable of hey? I remember the last time I went a couple days without food and it was so intense. People think they are ready to survive in the wild but we really have so few skills to get food for ourselves without the right tools. It's amazing that he was found after all that time. I wonder how long it will take for him to recover? +The results of the fire could have been worse. I'm just glad nobody died. Stuff can always be replaced. Burns are the worst since they're so painful. Hopefully these people have some family they can stay with until they're able to find a new housing situation. That's great that the firemen were able to get the fire under control so quickly. +I find it interesting to view the lives of primates in order to try and understand how it relates to our own. The way that the primates dealt with farsightedness seemed very practical to me which shows off their ingenuity and ability to problem solve. It makes me wonder if that's where humans get their own ability to problem solve as well. +I think it is a shame that people still lose their lives on trails. Some do not appreciate the dangers of mother nature and try to best her without realizing what they are up against. It is always important to prepare before you go out on a hike. Without understanding what you are doing, a person could easily end up lost or dead. +This type of thing is always largely ignored as it goes on, when people could have known about it but chose not to. Then many years later the truth comes out and some people address it with discomfort, and others still continue to ignore it. The way for real change to come is with accountability. Any crimes that aren't protected by a statue of limitations need to be addressed through prosecution, and they need to look for ways to prosecute instead of looking for ways not to. They should also encourage civil suits, but those are always against the departments and not the individuals. There needs to be reform so that the officers are the ones that are held accountable instead of the taxpayers continually having to make payouts because the police broke the law. +That idiot deserves a lot worse but hopefully we can erase all symbols of his existence soon. Starting with everything he did as President, but then get rid of all his buildings and everything else with his name on it. Maybe when he pays for his crimes he will have to sell all those buildings off. It would be great to get a full accounting of everything he actually owns so that he can repay everyone he has ever ripped off over his lifetime of scamming people. The name "Trump" should forever be associated with crime, grifting, treason, lying, cheating and just generally being a piece of human garbage. Let his stupid kids live with that brand. +The general rule of thumb is that to be healthy individuals need to get a minimum of eight hours of sleep a night. Some people get more, and some people get along well with less, but everyone needs to get enough sleep or else they cannot function effectively in their everyday activities. In their work, Your Guide to a Healthy Sleep, National Institutes of Health pointed out that sleep is very important to human existence, so important that one-third of a person’s life is spent doing it (1). In Sleep, Sleep Disorders, and Biological Rhythms, Amlaner said, “Sleep is a required activity, not an option” (19). During sleep the human body has an opportunity to recuperate from the activities of the day. The recuperation goes beyond tha +Hey soul sista. I know this whole Crutcher thing has you shook. I am certain you have read more articles on this matter. Let me say that reading this worries me as well. My wife is worried for her daddy who lives in the area. Please do me a favor and bring this article up in your weekly political meetings. I just want to make sure this gets more movement along the grass root channels you work with. I am sending my best with this article to you. +I cannot believe this! How can they do this to people? They have less than a week to move out after some of them being there for over 10 years. I am just saddened that political and ideological strife will deny not only teacher from working, but for students to be able to have a quality education. What can we do to help? Let me know if you know what we can rally against. +Remember when I told you I had ringing in my ear sometimes? This article seems to parallel what I was talking about. Can you look into this further? I really trust your viewpoint on this. I am going to ask my doctor about this later on this week. I do not want this to get worse. Maybe you can advise on a good doctor I can see regarding this? I am just really worried about it. Thanks again man! +Hey I just wanted you know that I read something disturbing this morning in an article. There were bombings and people were killed over fuel. This is alarming and out of control. I'm feeling so many emotions right now. From upset to angry. I don't understand how people can blow other people up over something so trivial and stupid. They were just wanting fuel! +Oh my goodness, did you read this article? It was heart-wrenching... I felt so sad while reading it and my heart breaks for the mother of these babies. There is no way that a parent should ever, ever have to lose a child,muchless two children at the same time. So horrifying and sad! Something has to be done about all of this. They deserve justice!! +Trump continues to fuck up the nation. Did you read this story of how Trump wants to back out of the Paris Accord? As a nation we are finally trying to seriously address climate change and we are doing that with partners around the world. However, Trump the national embarrassment has seen to it that not only do we not continue trying to make the planet better, but we also betray our allies. +you can never really trust a person.Someone can end up dead and those who are left in the wake are the ones that suffer.Really makes you think just how short of a life we have in comparrison.But having no sex can do something to a person.It is one of those things that we have a bond between a person and if something in a relationship is not working it can drive a person to do something they would normally not do. +That's a really strange and messed up situation. It's really sad for the children involved and it's very troubling that any country could plan out such an awful attack. I hope that things change in those areas of the world and more security is put in place so these types of attacks can be detected and negated. +it's dissapointing that in this day and age that homosexuality is still illegal in different countries. I would think that it would be past that and that people would just get over it. It took forever for America to recognize gay marriage so I guess it's not surprising that Uganda hasn't yet. But I still think that it's a breach of human rights and it's moraly wrong +This sounds like such a freak thing. It must be so hard for the family because there are no answers and they need answers. I'm not sure this is something that is easy to figure out. It sounds like a severe case of pneumonia, but from what, how and why. And the fluid on the brain of the one sister is so strange. I would think they would know more after the autopsies, and I don't understand why that is taking so long. I'm thinking that the family wants to bring the bodies back to the States and that could be holding up the autopsies. +Working out is important, but you may want to check the ingredients of the supplements you take. This article talks about a number of ingredients that can cause dangerous side effects and are also very common in work out supplements. It's scary to think about what we are putting in our body. From now on, I am probably going to cut back and go more natural. +I just read this article about a scandal involving a person trying to rent a place from someone else, but then it turned out that this person was using it for personal reasons because the place the other person was renting wasn't own bu the person they thought. It would be interesting if the author of the article didn't try so hard to sound like a kid using slang. +I just read this really long article about a white man that actually got sentenced after shooting a black teenager dead. I can't help but feel incredibly satisfied after reading this. It happens way too much in this country where white people are able to get away with hurting black people. This time, it finally feels like some justice has been done. +I just can't imagine that this poor 4 year old was blinded the way she was. But then I wonder if it is truly an act of justice to carry out the same punishment on the perpetrator. It seems so human to want revenge, but it also feel so useless. In a way it seems to make "us" as "bad" as him. It just makes me sad. +This is such a sad story. I feel so much for the mother trying to get away. Sometimes it seems like things won't be so bad. Sometimes it seems like tomorrow is another chance, but it seems to me that you can't give people the opportunity to destroy because they will. I would always encourage a one strike policy for my friends. That reminds me, how was your friend after her husband threatened to shoot her - are they still together? +Wow - this is so so horrible! I can't even begin to understand why Syria would attack its own citizens, and why would Russia support them in doing so? This is a sick regime and I am glad that America and its allies are interfering. The fact that they are denying doing it is truly messed up. I hope these poor children who survived are able to get the healthcare they so desperately deserved. Could you guys imagine if this was happening here?? +I saw this news item about a shooting in North Philly. Is this near where you live? Damn, I am so sick of gun violence. Will it ever end? Every day, it seems to be something new. Here in Detroit, we see it all the time and I know you're in a similar situation in Philadelphia. The article doesn't give any details about the victims or anything like that. It almost dehumanizes people, don't you think? I mean, these victims were somebody's relatives. Hopefully more details will come out in future articles. The news media cares more about being the first to report a story instead of sticking around to find out the details. I know I am rambling here. But all this gun violence is too much. +I don't understand why there is so much hate. It's like every one lives in their own little bubble seeing everything foreign to them as a threat. They take up selfish ideology because they don't like something, instead of just disassociating with it. This greatly saddens me, for I have seen the world in all it's wonder. Where the majority of people just want to live in peace, without boundaries. Yet this idea of cultural heritage has become disastrous further dividing people. If only more people could set aside their petty ideals, and just accept each other as other humans. Instead we classify and further separate ourselves due to every difference. I would prefer to just die, than put up with such cruel disgusting people. I am disgusted with my country of Americans. We deserve to burn.... +I feel that we are prioritizing efforts of saving the planet in the wrong way. We want to ban this or that, and that's great and all. However, we are missing the bigger picture. We need to focus on building a world that co exists with nature, instead of just saving little bits of it here and there. While some strive to save this or that, there are a million other things destroying it further. We need to end the destruction of our global ecosystem, and not pick and choose species to save. Other wise there will be nothing left, and those efforts would have been in vein. +If people are concerned about others to where they feel fear. They need to leave the situation entirely. No working things out, no seeing what happens. If you feel threatened, LEAVE! The problem is most people think they can't just drop everything. But it's mostly because they either don't know how, or don't want to live any other lesser lifestyle than they are accustomed to. Kids run away all the time from home with no skills, or means to get by. Many of them end up making it out ok. Some don't, but it's usually due to making the wrong choices. Taking the easy way out. We are free to make our own choices, and live the life we can live. So why would any one ever put up with feeling threatened, when they can just leave, and disappear. Even if you have no where to go, you can always die. +So I just read an article where 2 friends went diving to a place they shouldnt have and ended up dying. While they were using brand new equipment, I feel like idiots who take stupid risks and go to places where no humans should be, kind of deserve what ends up happening to them. If you dont sky dive, you never have to worry about going splat when your chute doesnt open +It would appear to me, in my opinion, the liberal, nonsensical, mainstream media is at it again. Let's use fear-mongering and misinformation to stir up a demographic in our all out effort against Donald Trump. I feel for those who don't read the actual proposals and/or legislation but instead decide to believe every word uttered by the talking head on TV. +Guys, please read this. This issue needs to be seen by more of us and acknowledged as something that happens more than we realize. Is this something we can change or work on as a community? Please help me think of ways we can work on making this a nonissue in the future for the next generation. This is our kids and grandkids future we are thinking of. +This shows how the current political environment is effecting people, especially younger people, emotionally. The stress and fear that is being shown from the younger generation is mostly to blame on social media. We used to be able to discuss political issues in person, calmly. Now, if you try to mention your opinion on social media, you run the risk of being attacked or insulted, simply adding to the fear of the current political situations. +Hey everyone, please share this! She appears to be in her late 60s or early 70s, 6'0", 175lbs, with gray hair. This could easily be someone's grandmother or mom, a family could be worried sick about her. Her outfit sounds like she may of been in some sort of retirement home or something similar. I know if this was my grandmother I could want to know so I could help her get home, so please share this within the area so we can maybe get her back to her home and family. +The Somali peope are suffering greatly. I feel so bad for what they have had to go through over the past while. Donald Trump doesn't have enough mercy or understanding for what they are going through. The United States may offer some help, but not nearly enough. They will be in poverty likely their entire lives, and it is just not fair. There must be a way to test to see if they are dangerous, and if not they should be welcomed into our country. +Kisii is a real tragedy. Many people are dead, and more people are severely injured. The drilling is likely what caused it, and the developer should be held responsible. He has caused much pain and suffering. Kenyans deserve better, and since he didn't listen to NCA warnings, he should pay for what he did. The other buildings in the area should be thoroughly tested to see if anything can be done to prevent this. +Rhinos are going extinct, and it s a real shame since they do nothing to harm human life. They are a majestic creature with much to offer. However, they are being killed because of poachers and their horn. The black rhino is almost extinct. Only about five thousand still exist in the world today, and this is a real shame. +It's upsetting that species are dying out, sometimes before we even know they exist. I wonder if there are ways we can use science to bring them back, if they even survive if we do. We need to take better care of the environment. It's worrying that as these species die out, someday ours might as well. +Ugh, another example of crappy cops. They think they can get anyway with anything. I've started to pull out my phone camera whenever I see the cops talking to someone, especially if they are a minority. Police brutality is such a problem in our country and it's just so deeply ingrained in the system, I'm not sure what can be done. We need some kind of overhaul of the criminal justice system. +I just cannot even imagine something like that happening. What makes someone do such a horrible thing? And especially when there were children on board? Such a senseless act. How scared those individuals and the victim must have been when that was happening. It is a good thing that that guy was there to help the passengers get off the bus. A tragic event would have been even more tragic had he not been there to save those people. I feel bad because those individuals (including the guy who saved the passengers) are all now scarred for life and their lives will never be the same. Their lives have been turned upside down because of someone else's senseless act and are forever traumatized by it. I hope those victims get the support they need and I hope that the driver's family receives support +This makes me feel nothing. I don't care about this. I don't see why I have to care about this. Bad things like this happen all the time and they have no affect on me. I have too many problems of my own to have to worry about more things like this. Thinking about this kind of stuff just adds to my stress. +The only solution for the "wage gap" is the total abolishment of capitalism and all governments. There will be no more wage gap when there is no money! By instituting Anarcho-Communism, all people can be given what they need without a worry of who is getting more or less. Capitalism is evil and must be destroyed! +This was a somewhat interesting article about the frequency of eye injuries in sports for children. They really could have used more data in the article but interesting all the same. The only real gripe I had was somehow playing with airsoft guns around the house are counted as sports related injuries so the data doesn't seem that reliable. +It's such a shame the man had to shoot the dog. Labradors in general are decent dogs and not know to attack people for no reason. He could have shot into the ground or into the air to scare the dog off. I feel bad for the lady that lost her dog but this is why you keep your dogs on leashes. If she hadn't let the dog off the leash this probably would not have happened. It's a terrible and unfortunate situation all around and I hope I never find myself with the same problem. I'm gonna go play with my dog now and be grateful. +It is very difficult for me to imagine how any person could leave a baby in a shoe box. I just don't understand how you could even leave a baby alone. Thank God the baby was in good health, at least whoever left the poor thing seems to have taken good care of it other than leaving it in a shoe box. Maybe in the end this will turn out to be a good thing for this baby, one can only hope. +Those poor officers. Like in any group of people, there are good and bad ones. In this society the tendency to demonize everyone for the actions of a few sets a very dangerous precedent and things like this can happen. Every person should be judged on their own merits. Saying all cops are bad because of what a few have done is so insane and the public outrage leads to things like this. I don't know for sure what this person's motivations were but there have been enough instances that some don't see law enforcement as people anymore and it makes their job so much more dangerous and we need good cops to do their jobs to keep us safe. +Remembering those who have lost their lives due to violence is so important. Do you remember what happened in Paris in 2015? I am so grateful that the people there set aside a special time to remember all the victims and their families. Such a senseless loss. People just wanting to enjoy some entertainment were met with a horrific experience and families were forced to wait in pain to hear news of the outcome. I am sure they will never forget that day. I do hope each day gets easier for them and that they remember the good memories of their loved ones. +I just read a very upsetting article about a recent incident involving U.S. troops in Jordan and I wanted to share it with you. There were three U.S. military trainers killed in gunfire by security units at Jordan base, fatally shot by security forces Friday when their vehicle failed to stop at the gate of a military base. I have no idea why the driver did not stop at the gate, which is certainly protocol. They have had serious problems in Jordan recently due to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees crossing their border. Jordan is and has been a significant U.S. ally in the war against ISIS and I can only hope that this incident is isolated and not part of a bigger problem. God bless the families of the deceased soldiers! +I just read an article about tour boat that capsized because of the boat operator. It was horrific reading the statements of the survivors. It brought chill to my bone when they wrote many situations that could of ended their lives. Just imagining what I would of done in that situation makes me feel troubled because I cant really swim in open water. All the survivors are now suing the company for injuries, recklessness, neglect, and trauma. Pretty crazy how one event can change the outcome of life or death. +Another article I read showing a death of African American driver by a police. I really upset me reading this article. That unnecessary force was used to handle the situation. Its crazy that the first thing on the police mind is to shoot to kill. I feel uneasy every time seeing and reading about situation like this where a situation could of been handled in a different way. Understandable that they work in a high intense environment but that why they train and follow protocol. +Have you ever heard of sudden oak death ? Over 66 million trees have just vanished since 2010 . bacteria is spread through the water . This is a scary thought where are we going to be at in the next 5 years? I think that we need to take note and start worrying about our planet this is not a good sign at all . +I really hate ISIS. They are the scum of the earth. I just learned that they killed over 100 Iraqi police officers in Mosul. This is the kind of thing that happens when we pull our troops out of Iraq. Yeah we should not have been there in the first place but we made that mistake and we now have to take responsibilty for it. I feel so bad for all the Iraqi people who just want to live their lives in peace. +I am shocked and saddened by this earthquake. What a sad and terrible tragedy. I feel so sorry for all the victims and those affected by this event. I can't even imagine how devastating this must be for them. What an incredible catastrophe. My thoughts and prayers and best wishes go out for all the many people affected by this tragic catastrophe. I hope that everyone stays safe for the foreseeable future. I am still in shock. +I feel really concerned that they have no idea who committed this crime. I wonder if there's more to this story. I wonder what the conditions were that led up to this event. I hope the victims will make a full recovery and that they catch this horrible person! My thoughts are with them and their families! +After reading this article it seem like a nightmare is becoming a reality. Today drug user, especially opiod user, are taking there drugs in front of their children. It seems like the drug user are tired of taking their drugs and having people around them disagree with their habits. Its really a shame that parent are doing these drugs in front of their kids. +Colonialism is a ugly part of American history, but it's one that we shouldn't forget. We can't undo the damage that we've done, but we can teach future generations our mistakes, and hope that they do not repeat them. A formal apology is the very least the Canadian government can do, and it is admirable. +It's unfortunate what happened. If I was a politican I'd say my heart and prayers go out to the victims affected, but honestly? It's hard to feel much sympathy for people so far away. I find the governments efforts to house and protect the affected civillians admirable. We have federal agencies devoted to disaster relief in the US, but we only go so far in helping people. +How can Canada think that was the right course of action? Of course we are no better with how we treated the Native Americans. These poor kids are ripped from their homes and subjected to such horrors because of who they are. It is sickening. It is as if we have no respect for the past. Who cares if they didn't speak the language or assimilate into "normal culture". Is that any reason to destroy their lives? No apology could ever fix what was done. So many children died, just because they were born into the "wrong" culture. This mentality, unfortunately, isn't isolated or gone from planet. We are destroying the identity of people who for the most part probably just wanted to live and die without interfering with the "new" culture. Is it so wrong to be different? +The spread of cholera is very widespread in Haiti. It is costing tons of lives, and money food and doctors are very much needed. Its hard to control like any other high spreading disease. Doctors need resources so much that they cant keep up with ever growing number of patients. They need food, medical supplies, and other miscellaneous equipment that would help them improve their job and combating the outbreak. +People and government and climate groups are scared President Trumps cabinet would push climate control policies back. He might put the states out of the Paris Treaty, and build more Coal factories that might emit more toxic fumes into the air and expand global warming. And in regards to other countries they might agree with it to as well, putting our earths climate at a dangerous risk. This might other protocols as well such as the Kyoto protocol +Hey, Josh have you seen this? World currencies are going to be taking a hit, I just wanted to let you know. The complete misunderstanding of how to run something as simple as a bank multiplied by thousands around the country of India is bringing that country to its knees. We see this happen all the time where markets are controlled by the government and something stagnates then we add more controls and now we have a depression. +Wow. That is really sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder why his friend would kill him. Must not have been friends after all, huh?????? I wonder how long the body had been there before he was found. Money was probably the motive since it usually is. He probably got over on him somehow and dude got his revenge. Oh well....... +Just read a short article about the Kim Kardashian robbery. Pretty scary for her, and the robbers kept demanding money. There were language/communication issues between her and the robbers, she thought they wanted her jewelry, and they wanted her money. I hope that she gets better security in place so that this never happens again. The article mentioned her providing information about her expensive diamond ring on Facebook - I think there's a lesson to be learned about that. +I feel so sorry for these people trying to flee their current situation. These crossings need to be safer for these people. All of these people drown and for what? A chance at freedom, a chance to get away from what they fear, and I feel like these people need to be helped and find a way to get them across safely. +I just read a troubling little snippet about a family who lost their home in Washington D.C. They haven't yet identified the cause of the blaze, but a family of five ha not only been displaced, but they also lost two cats which I'm sure were very dear to them. I'm glad to hear that the Red Cross has stepped in to lend aid to this needy family. +I know we have been talking about climate change, my friend. I read a news article that continues to build upon the foundational knowledge that we have speculated upon. As it turns out, a mere one degree Celsius change can have major impacts on the ecosystem. It affects genes and ranges in species. More than eighty percent of ecosystems are being put under stress. It makes me sad because we don't know the long-standing implications in the largest perspective. Every single day we can make choices to help negate the bad choices our species makes towards our environment. +It is so unfortunate that people are being attacked because of their religion. A lot of Christians in Mosul were ordered to convert away from their beliefs or suffer heavy consequences. This is not a choice most people want to make, let alone be forced to flee their homes. Churches, homes, and streets were not safe. Many people have considered fleeing over returning. However, the human spirit is strong. We all face adversity. Some are brave enough to face the terror and harassment they experienced to rebuild their lives. +I just read about the arrest of the women from that National Geographic magazine. You know, the one with the striking green eyes. She's in her 40s now, and she was just arrested for staying illegally in Pakistan. If worst comes to worst, she could be put in jail for 14 years or deported back to the place she was trying to escape. It breaks my heart to see refugees who are just looking for a safe place to live being at risk for deportation. +Poor sad polar bear! They need to move him now. If they are going to take polar bears and other animals out of their natural habitats, then they better make sure that the place they keep them in is at the right standard for those animals. They need to move that polar bear as soon as possible so that it has a chance at happiness. +I'm not so sure that there is any right in this situation, of course it was wrong what he did and he could have handled this another way. He did what he did for his own reasons and he can't take that back and he definitely does not feel sorry for what he did. Was it so serious just because he is the mayor and would it not been so serious if he wasn't a mayor? Could he have done something better with the money? Absolutely, so he isn't wrong when he says the money should have been used for other things, but throwing a pie in someones face probably isn't the best way to show it +Jeez, who would have thought that those little guys could wreak such environmental disaster. But this is a classic example of people who think their one indiscretion (dumping the fish in the river) is harmless. Much like someone who starts a forest fire, we should have laws making the person responsible liable for the cost of cleaning up the mess. Not that we'd ever catch them. +Here we go again. Another news report of another earthquake in Chile. Fortunately this one apparently didn't cause any damage, but it was no slouch either at a magnitude 6.4. Had the earthquake struck in a little different location, who know what might have happened. This is the same place that got hit with an 8.8 a couple years ago. Remember that one? That was so sad. It triggered a tsunami and 500 people were killed. Not to mention the fact that there were 220,000 homes lost. One piece of good news at least, since the 8.8 earthquake, they have put in a warning system for earthquakes and tsunamis. Thank God for that. That certainly can't prevent any earthquakes from happening, but at least maybe it will save some lives if, or should I say "when", the next earthquake occurs. +Things seem to be quite bad in Yemen. I can't believe is not only the United States conducting drone operations or military operations for that matter in Yemen. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are also in it. Things must be very bad overthere. I have little background about the issue in Yemen, I wonder what it is that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have to gain hehre? +This really sucks for the children and the families affected. They could sue the developers, but no amount of money is going to compensate them for the health issues these kids are going to experience due to lead poisoning. The worst thing about this is, if it were a wealthy white neighbourhood adjacent to the industrial site they wanted to demolish, you know they would have taken every precaution to test to see if there was any chance of releasing toxic amounts of lead into the vicinity. But it's a poor black neighbourhood, so of course they aren't as careful. +Hey you, I found more information about that woman who overdosed in the car with her infant. It is just horrible. From what I am reading it happened in Indiana and she had a syringe in her hand. Her poor baby was only 10 months old. How sad. They were parked outside of a Dollar General when thankfully someone noticed and called 911. The grandmother got guardianship over the baby, thank goodness. The women got booked on neglect and possession, hopefully she stays in there for awhile. +Those poor boys. They never asked for any of this. Their father be a died beat dad and kill them. What a completely asshole to scared jerk. The boys were so young and helpless with a dead beat dad. The man should of just killed himself and left those 2 boys out of it. What did he accomplish by killing his sons? I have no words to describe how much pain those 2 little ones were probably in. Its ashame when kids have to take fault for thier parents misfortunes. And that mother. The heart ache she will have to face of losing not only 1 son but 2. I cannot imagine the sorrow that woukd cause. +I am a firm believer of inoccent till proven guilty. But come on. There are multiple accounts with several different wome. That are coming forward towards this guy. This man needs taking off of the streets and put in jail. The things he did to multiple women is disgusting. I feel bad for these women who did not come forward in the beginning. Whether they were scared for their lives or just ashamed. It seems like alec could get a girl but just took things to far and to the next level. It ashame that a successful young man does something like this and ruins his entire life. Over sex. +Nothing is ever compatable to the support of people who are willingly happy to show their support and love to Trump. Although sometimes it is hard to think how impossible it is to agree with what Trump's want for the country. Supporting this kind of big event is always remarkable and will always be remembered by people. +This must be terrifying to have people come into your town, drag you from your home, and to watch while those you love are taken or shot, really it must be unbearable, even as you endure it. We get upset when we hear news of one or two people being kidnapped or suffering this kind of trauma, yet here we're talking about much more. It must be heartbreaking for them. +I think its so scary that there have been shark attacks in Australia's beaches. I wouldn't want to be a surfer there knowing that anytime my life could be in danger since you don't know what your surfing under whether its a huge shark preying on you waiting to strike and make you his fresh meal. I am always cautious when I'm in the water since people don't realize there are so many dangers deciding to get into the water. +Did you see this article about the protest in MI? It's so crazy how divisive the country has become over the election and how president tump's doing. What used to be considered rare and unacceptable seems now to become the norm, since all the crazy things trump says and does. Throwing a firecracker into a crowd? Who does that and think's its acceptable? People these days are getting very crazy. +Z did you hear?? Kate beckinsale and len wiseman broke up!!!! I can't believe it. What happened? I'm distraught. At least they don't have any kids so they don't have to put them through that whole thing about divorce. But I mean come on, she can barely even wait to get back out there, WITHOUT her wedding ring??? Jeeze. Sad. +Firstly let me say that she was NOT asking for it just by wearing expensive jewelry. The same people who believe that are those who believe women are ASKING to be assaulted just by wearing provocative clothes; disGUSTING. Secondly, let me just say that I respect Khloe for expressing her love and not being afraid of all the HATERS out there. Respect. +I didnt even bother reading this. I skimmed it. It's a meaningless bore. Why Im writing you to tell you this is beyond me, but my masters here believe it will be revealing in some way. And Im nothing if not a slave to my masters. So I write. To you, my friends. I hope you will find more meaningful things to read and do than this kind of crap. +Unbelievable! I just read an very disturbing article about a 23 year old male teacher charged with multiple counts of child pornography that was taking place at the school he teached in. He managed to get away with this crime for a very long time as he lured hundreds of children into his scheme before finally getting busted. It really pisses me off that scum bags like this are allowed near our children and I hope he gets a max sentence! +Seems like so many tragic accidents have been happening lately. I just read another article about the tragic death of a father son that took place during a hike. The both of them fell off a cliff and died recently while exploring the outdoors. There was an attempt made to recover their bodies but the exact cause was not specified. Poor souls. I pray that their family may be given strength as they discover the tragedy. +I just read an article about how the CO2 levels are high this year and they might not lower for generations to come. That is so sad for our children and grandchildren. I feel like instances such as this can cause health issues. Not only am I concerned about myself but Im concerned about my children and future grandchildren. +It’s a sad day when young kids are killing themselves. They act on impulse and do not realize that their actions have lasting consequences. If someone was just their to listen to these kids a lot of this probably wouldn’t be happening. Its just so sad especially for the parents and grandparents but also for the whole family. +What a disaster...I can't believe their course of action is to do nothing too. I can't even imagine how this is going to affect the local wildlife. They should be funding environmental groups to help the local animals in any way possible. This is going to have far reaching consequences too, as the poisoned fish and birds will affect other species and they'll end up effecting us as well. I wish there was some way to avoid these terrible accidents. +Better go stock up on coconut products. It seems coconuts are in danger due to some bacteria wiping out coconut trees in the Caribbean. Many fear it will spread to other coconut producing countries. The techno people are trying to breed some kind of cure. They are using gene banks to come up with a solution but costs are prohibitive. There’s an International Coconut Genetic Resources Network or COGENT that’s getting some funding but even it’s in trouble financially. They are looking for coconut product users and big companies to help out. Have a heart, save the coconut trees! +Hello friend, have you read this article? I think you should, it's quite interesting if I do say so myself. It is about a Representative named Darrell Issa, he is a Republican and has a Southern California seat. How great would it be, to see this massively bad man lose? Hopefully, Issa may well quote Mercutio on November 8th: “...ask for me to-morrow and you shall find me a grave man.” +Why are they prescribing things like that to such young kids? That's so insane. Benzodiazepines, especially, shouldn't be prescribed in general, in my opinion. Doctors are overly calm about the things they prescribe to people, people that young shouldn't be subjected to that, and the death tolls aren't surprising. +A lot of us not just veterans are losing sleep. I believe its because of deppression. We aren't happy and its because of money. Humans are always working they have no life. Work is not life. Some people don't get to spend time with there kids or family. They cant even have time for themselves. There worried about work, what time they have to get up, or what they will eat because they don't have time to cook. So we eat unhealthy thing that can lead to depression. Not getting enough sleep or the right nutrients lead to sicknesses. Theres people who don't have enough time to see a doctor. Our lifestyle is the reason we're not getting enough sleep. People put way to much on there plate just so they can have money. Everything is about money. +It is very sad to know Robert died. He was a great actor. You never now when your time is going to come. I get very worried of my own health. There are so many sicknesses and diseases. I tried to get checked annually at the doctors. I hope they come out with a cure for these diseases and sicknesses. I feel like Robert did live kind of a long life. Robert has made good memories and I think that is very important when living . I want to make a lot of good memories now that I'm alive. Everyones life should have meaning just like Robert's. +I have a real hard time with this article. My husband is a US Army soldier that fought to take over Mosul the first time at the cost of many lives. And through incompetent measures in our government and military, we let go of Mosul and are again trying to figure out a way to take it back. It makes me sad that there are people being oppressed in the world but it is also clear to me that at what cost do we fight the oppressors and pick a whose side to be on. Maybe we should worry about ourselves stateside and stay out of the mess in the middle east. +While this seems like good news that there are fewer and fewer cases of Zika I would be lying if I said it wasn't still alarming. It seems very strange that such a huge virus with a widespread development and all of the media attention is now just a minor issue. It's either hiding somewhere are there's worse on the way. Or it could have all just been media hype to sell TV. Hard to say but suspicious all the same. +Hey friend, Can you believe just how crazy this is getting over in the middle east? My heart weeps so much for the families and just the innocent bystanders that have to deal with this. Imagine if your home was getting bombed and who knew where you would get your food next. I can't imagine the pain that they go through on a daily basis meanwhile I can go get any kind of food I want or drinks or whatever. Not a worry in the world for me, meanwhile these people are being bombed and just all around treated like cattle. We need peace! +Dear god friend, Let me tell you, this is just disgusting. Poor animals. We continue to damage the environment and this tug boat company just says oh my apologies and thanks for cleaning up my mess. After they destroyed ecological habitats and caused damage to almost extinct species. The company should be fined millions of dollars and be in some serious deep water no pun intended. I know you agree man. I hate to see animals hurt and just the negligence is enough to make me want to go out there myself. WE need to take care of this planet for once effectively and I know you agree with me. +I can't believe Wells Fargo would do this in such a unprofessional manner. Repossessing vehicles without going through the proper procedures. Especially screwing over people who protect our country. I hope their fines were huge. They are going to have to do a lot of changing if they want to get the trust of their customers back. I for one never plan on using them. +That was the strangest article I've ever read - I'm not sure why I read it. Was it an error? Art/? It just said something like "article title - article - article source - date." I'm not sure how to emotionally react to such a thing since it had no emotional content whatsoever, no biographical content, no factual content, no real content at all. Seriously, I believe there is a malfunction in the survey. +I really don't know anything about Keisha. The only thing I know is her music. I don't know how the music business works. I don't know if this is true. It seems like if she really wanted to she could have taken more control. It was her choice whether or not she ate or not. She let them take control. there is always a choice. +Of course I only know what I read in the article. It sounds like it could be the ex police officer was trying to protect himself. The son was already arrested for assaulted the father. I believe the police will investigate the shooting and take the necessary actions. I don't think the police will look the other way just because he is an ex police officer. +I just read this article about a haze that was responsible for killing 100,000 people. Can you believe that!? The haze was caused by fires used to clear rain forest, if I remember correctly. I mean could you imagine that happening here. It is unfathomable. I know we have our wildfires but very few people die to them. Imagine what people are going through. +Hey bud, Check this news out. Apparently a couple was on a cruise ship and the husband fell off the ship unintentionally. After reading the whole article, I believe that the other husband has the right to sue the authorities for not saving the his husband after he fell off. In any case, whether the person was guilty of previous crimes, he or she should be saved or this would have been seen as sketchy work by the police officers. \ No newline at end of file diff --git

accident. I can't even imagine what that family is going through. The ones that were involved in the accident but survived probably saw some horrible things, and those kids who witnessed their mother die. As a parent myself that's a terrifying thought I would never want my son to go through something like that. +For days, a hazy pall has spread across much of northern Georgia, including metro Atlanta, home to 5.7 million people. State officials warned that the air is unhealthy, and cautioned people with breathing problems to stay indoors as much as possible. With state firefighters scrambling to quench the blazes currently active, officials told people to avoid starting new fires that could quickly spread. “We’re a cigar butt away from a disaster,” said John Williams, adventure guide at Amicalola Falls, a state park near the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia +It's horrifying to see a dog subjected to such a cruel fate. This brings attention to the numerous other cases of fatalism that could've been prevented by careful inspection and care for one's pets.

A report I read about a report says thinking of the many ways climate change threatens coffee and coffee farmers has alarmed people who are now imagining what it would be like getting through the day without their caffeine fix! Well, it certainly is concerning to me! The report, released this month, was commissioned by Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand supposedly the hub of the global Fairtrade system. I guess it doesn’t contain much new research, but still it has made waves by collating an array of available literature suggesting that climate change will have a major effect on the world’s coffee supply. Well, knowing how you love your coffee just as much as I do, I just knew this would fascinate you! Tell everyone!! +A perfect example of greed and selfishness-British government is willing to kill innocent creatures in order to drill for oil, regardless of consequences! Instead of exploring other alternatives, such as natural energy sources, they will go and march their way to Africa and claim innocent lives just to put money in their pockets. I wonder if the majesty Queen, the mighty Queen of England, would appreciate of someone suddenly marched into her palace and started drilling for oil?!!! Absolutely disturbing-total disregard for nature and living creatures, nothing but pure greed regardless of the cost! +This article I just read was so, unbelievably sad and tragic. This incident is so horrible. Such a gruesome death. I can't imagine being that two year old and falling for so long. Ugh, it makes me so upset. I feel so bad for the parents, they must feel so guilty. It would be so hard to overcome everything. +This kind of stuff is definitely very political because it shows how corrupt the Venezuelan government is very corrupt. I get that every country has their own issues, but what happened here is absolutely ridiculous! Wouldn't want to live here at all. You guys should check this out whenever you get a chance. +Can you believe how people are acting over this? They are acting like a bunch of rabid animals. This is not how you protest. Going around acting violent and destroying things does not solve anything. This is chaos. There is no excuse for this type of behavior just because you don't agree with an election. +I guess people don't realize how much of an impact they can have. The article says if people would have done something they could have stopped the extinction of the animals. But at the same time, it is people's action indirectly that caused the extinction, through contributing to climate change. There is so much that can go out of balance in nature when people are involved. When one species dies off, then everything in that ecosystem changes. I guess the article was kind of interesting. But what is the solution the problem they are talking about? How should people intervene to save those animals? +Death to the police! There is no member of the police that is your friend, even those who are no longer on the force. Only someone who fully recants their position as a police officer and demonstrates tangible remorse about their actions can be accepted. All police are evil, because the police naturally attract people who would abuse their powers. +so three missiles get shot up in the air randomly like if this were to be a daily routine. nobody was going to do anything about it. the craziest part about it is reading about the father who the article states that jokingly told his family to forgive him if he did not return home that night. that man did not return home that i find insane. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading a very interesting and somewhat disturbing article. It was about Thomas Arthur, an inmate on death row in Alabama. There began a massive legal battle between the courts, justices, and lawyers about the legality and morality of lethal injection practices. I feel conflicted because on one hand, these people committed unthinkable crimes and deserve severe punishment, but on the other hand, taking a life may still not be justifiable. +Hey hun! I was just reading this article about a family of 3 young black boys who went through foster care and ended up in prison later on in life, and it made me want to share it with you. It breaks my heart knowing this probably happens all the time in our country! That there are kids who, through no fault of their own, are set on a path that ultimately leads to their downfall and punishment later in life! There need to be changes made to the foster system so that there are more homes available and counselling for these kids so that they can learn at an early age to deal with the things they are going through instead of internalizing it all and becoming angry and bitter. What do you think? Maybe we could write some letters to get people thinking about this situation! +It's nice that these cases are critiqued so thoroughly as once an execution has started, there's no going back. It sounds like he shot his relative for sure though. Even though he maybe didn't kill the husband of the woman he had an affair with, one murder should potentially be enough for the death penalty. +The fact that this article shows the global gender gap not being equal until 2196 is particularly disturbing. And, I wonder why women have dropped out of the workforce globally? I mean, I did drop out but only after 30 years of employment. It seems as if, in this day and age, you'd hear that women's participation in the workforce had increased, not decreased. +I just read the article and i want to say i think its terrible anyone would actually blame the doctors for someone committing suicide. Of course its incredibly sad and i feel for anyone that has to go through what people like that do go through but how can these doctors be blamed. That means that anyone can be blamed for missing the signs and its too hard to tell when someone will actually commit to killing themselves even when they are making empty threats. +I always wonder whether to believe articles like this. I have always liked Mayweather, and I feel there are probably two sides to this story. Besides, the lawsuit is filed but there is no verdict yet, so Mayweather could be innocent. Anyone can file a lawsuit and the only proof of who is right is when the suit is decided. I will be interested to follow the outcome of this one. +Aww, I hope this story isn't really true. I mean do people still go to see elephants perform anywhere? And people have been so much more vocal and worried about animals for quite a long time, I just have trouble believing that this story is true. I hope not. Plus, do elephants really live that long? +This is a completely unacceptable situation. Our military bombs a Doctors Without Borders medical facility and they have the gall to point their fingers at those who were bombed. And the only restitution they offer is a promise to keep bombing and carrying on just like they were until the mission is completed. Revolting. +I'm sorry to hear that about Dakota's parents. Even when you are adult it must be hard to see your parents splitting up. No one wants that to happen and it's unfortunate that her parents couldn't work it out. I hope they are able to still remain civil around the kids and family. Just because it didn't work romantically doesn't mean it won't work at all. +This is a really interesting article about primates. It just talks about some of the things this certain species of primate does as they get older. They tend to adjust their position so they can see things better as they age. The younger bonobos sit close to their partner when they groom but the older ones sit ridiculously far away. I wouldn't even think their arms could reach when I read the distance was over a foot. +These actresses and actors have tons of money. If they really wanted to do the right thing, they certainly could, for their only son. They are just selfish people, wanting what they want and unwilling to compromise with each other. Most actors and actresses are like that. They are so self-centered. I can’t stand people like that. I feel sorry for the poor kid. Although he will probably grow up to be a self-absorbed, selfish brat, just like his parents. I swear that I think the less people have, the better off they treat their children and their families. I have no sympathy for people like these rich snobby people. They probably have their own jets, tons of money. Yet, they still can’t compromise. I wish people like this would get a grip and I wish the media would stop reporting +Hey, I just read an article written by a snowflake that is melting under manmade "global warming". One thing I have never understood is how the communist party took over the environmental movement without a shot. Remember when we found out the founder of 'GreenPeace' left after discovering the flood of communist and socialist coming into academia and the organization he started? I wish someone would actually do some research instead of repeating the same old stuff. +The war that involved India and Pakistan is terrible. There are so many innocent civilian me were killed. The world needs peace and it is hard to imagine that a lot of people in 21st centery are still suffering from wars. We should really cherish that we live in the US and far from what happened there. +Hey dude did you see that article that come out about police torture in chicago? It's pretty crazy and damning - it's one thing to know this kinda thing has been going on but its another thing to see all of these actual documents talk about willingly torturing people AND that it's still going on today. How disgusting. +Trump's handling of Mexico has been atrocious. While illegal immigration may have fallen, it's no reason to treat such a big trading partner like a second class world citizen by telling them they have to pay for a wall. A wall which would be completely useless as far as keeping people out, because there are such things as shovels and boats. It's just completely absurd. +Everything from the smoking dangers posed to children, to the epidemic of rats and their waste products, to even refugee crises surrounding Greece - are all problematic situations. These situations have to each be approached from a different perspective, and because of this - they require a more focused and specialized touch. +With the ever-growing lack of medical clinics and equipment in 3rd world countries, more outbreaks will eventually start and can affect millions of people. This article for example, showed that cholera outbreak in Haiti, Millions has been affected and people are dying but we don't have the resources to help them. +Just wanting to let you know about a news story I came across. It is about an elephant, named Nosey. He is been owned by a guy and held in chains. He used Nosey to perform for public entertainment in circuses and forced for most of her life to give rides to adults and children across the United States. Oh, and she has been in solitary for almost 30 years, that is a lifetime. Being captive for such a long period caused major stress to her health as well as to her psychological well being. The owner has been cited numerous times but in the same time his license was still approved for renewal each year. There should be awareness for this abuse to stop. +The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is not dead, apparently, after all! While the reef is mostly destroyed, it has sections that are coming back to life, and it can be stimulated back to recovery despite a 2016 article proclaiming that it had suffered its death stroke. Did you know it can be seen from outer space? How magnificent! We should do what we can to preserve it, even if it is a losing cause because it is a true wonder of nature. I know that contradicts what I told you earlier about not trying to save species, but hey, whoever said consistency was my greatest attribute? +I was saddened to hear of a Chinese military fighter pilot who was killed in a training exercise recently. It's unclear what the cause of the crash was, but it's certainly a tragedy to all involved regardless. It's horrifying to think of the time and training that someone like that would put in to learning to pilot the aircraft and to think that it wouldn't be enough to keep her safe. +I think China has a real problem with safety standards and that's why they have so many accidents in their various industries. It's really sad that they place economic growth over human lives. If they did implement safety standards, they wouldn't lose so many lives or potential workers and people that care for children. +Unfortunately, I have a yahoo email account and of course I am worried about my information being stolen. Fortunately for me though, I never really used that information for personal reasons, i mainly used it for a junk email, so there would be no real important information that one could steal from me. But this also makes me worried that any other email sites, like gmail, hotmail etc could just as easy be hacked. +Again it's all about the money. Corporate America strikes again. They leech as much money from the working class as possible as they sit in their office, finger banging their secretary. When their lies and misdirection is revealed, some fat cat takes the blame (along with millions of dollars of hush money, and the working class is thrown to the wolves and blamed for most of the misdeeds. +Class differences influence and varies how a parent raises their child. Middle-class parents raise their child through the use of feelings and lower-class parents raise their children through behavior control. Middle-class parents and lower-class parents raise their children to be like them feeling and behavioral wise. Middle-class children get reprimanded for feeling the wrong way and lower-class children are punished for behaving badly +I read an article about how a man killed himself after killing his wife. It sounded like the man really had some problems. I dont understand how you could kill someone that you say you love. The article said he "hacked his wife to death". That sure sounds rather violent. The woman was rushed to the hospital all bloody and the man was in a coma. The hospital confirmed that the woman had passed. +We need to be more responsible with our wilderness areas! It is alarming that no one wants to talk about how these areas are being destroyed by development and can never be returned to their original wilderness states. Can you imagine a world in which our children can never go camping or hiking in the wilderness because it has all been destroyed and turned into buildings?? +Being able to get out of contracts for timeshares sounds like quite a nightmare. Not being able to get out of such a contract, ESPECIALLY if you've fallen ill is quite possibly the worst case scenario. Furthermore, not being able to afford travel insurance because of it is a terrible time, especially after they have been fighting their contract for a number of years now. +Oh, Yahoo. I wonder what country they're talking about? Probably Russia. It's always Russia nowadays. I'm glad I stopped using Yahoo years ago. I feel vindicated. Not that Google or any of the other services I give information to are immune. It's just that Yahoo has such a bad, ugly, sad interface. And now this. +I didn't realize just how much discord there was going on in Burma. Near total distrust of the local government from segments of the local Muslim population, it's really shocking and concerning to me. The Rohingya apparently aren't even allowed to worship at their mosques, nor are they allowed to go to work to earn a living. It's very concerning to me that I hear a member of the government seemingly unconcerned about how these people are being treated. Enough isn't being done, not nearly enough, by almost all parities involved, to hear some of the stories of what is happening on the ground is really heart breaking. +Apparently there are now a lot of wildfires in the Appalachia area, and it seems people are going to try to spin this into a "climate change" story. It seems that every single negative event can be attributed to climate change. The media doesn't even try to make an argument, it just inserts insinuations. I used to believe that global warming was a deadly threat to humanity, but if you look into things, there are many extremely dubious elements to the "official" story, and now I don't know what to think. Even if the official story is true, it is obvious that the issue is being routinely used for political purposes. And I don't know if it is true. Why has a vast swath of temperature readings been "corrected"? Most people don't even know about this issue. +I'm glad I don't wear contacts, because I'm so lazy with them that I would likely become infected and that would be horrible for my already terrible eyes. I read an article that said that people who leave their contacts in while they sleep are more likely to get an eye infection that can cause blindness. Makes me wish I could fix my vision to perfection again. I hate that I have terrible eyesight and have to rely on primitive glasses or risky contacts. It's not fair and I am very upset about it. Does anyone want to donate their eyes to me? I promise I will take good care of them. If only I could grow new eyes or get badass bionic cyborg eyes that can shoot lasers, then i could defeat the bacteria and be a hero to the human race. Well that's all silly pipedreams. I just have to deal withit +it was a very gruesome moment it doesn't help the fact that refugees face an exhaustive screening process by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees that can take years. it is good that when The federal government and its nonprofit partners provide job-search help and cash assistance for refugees during their first months in the United States. After that, they are largely on their own. This strategy has made it hard for refugee families—who often come to America with few assets or material possessions—to move up and out of poverty, and may be contribute to younger generations’ sense of isolation, the result of struggling to find their place in this country. Now, earning a living in the U.S. is proving difficult for younger generations. Donald Trump’s crusade against immigrants +Friends and family - we need to pray for those people in Taiwan. They have just been hit by yet antoher hurricane. This has left their country in quite the run down state. People are heavily effected in this country and need our thoughts and prayers. We also need to pray for China due to the hurricane heading there next. +The growing back and forth tension between the United States and Russia is really worrisome. One minute it seems like they like us and the next they have nuclear weapons at the ready and pointed straight at the United States. It's scary to think about what could happen especially with the big mouthed president we have. +I'm glad that they finally put an end to this mans killing spree. I'm not sure why he did what he did but he was obviously mentally ill and wasn't taking his medication. I believe friends had to have been helping him hide otherwise I don't know how he could have hidden so long otherwise. Anyways, incidents like this only makes them try to crack down harder on guns and our rights to bear arms, but this person was clearly mentally ill. +Climate change is already evident in all the ecosystems of the earth. the genes of living beings are changing in response to climate changes, affecting ecosystems around the world. the changes that by natural means should take a hundred of decades to occur, takes very few years to complete. This disorder affects the whole relationship of the ecosystems, discouraging them and causing their extinction. +I read that apparently a man in Georgia was accused of deliberately leaving his son in the car to die from the heat. I really hope he gets the death penalty and they leave him in a hot car just like he did to his son. The world is filled with evil people and it was really disturbing to hear this story. +This is really sad! I would think there would be a way to stop this from happening. Everyone knows this is being done, so why couldn't they stop it. The human traffiking is a sad thing and to have them all dying try to get to another place is sad.There must be some kind of policing that could be done wherever the people are boarding these boats. +Feelings are deemed appropriate if they fit the current situation. Since individuals want to fit in and be seen as normal, they are constantly working on their feelings in order to fit the situation. Emotion work is more so how people want to feel or how they want other people to see them feel. Feelings are not permanent, but an ongoing thing because people constantly try to bring up, suppress, or manage feelings +I was with him and mildly supportive of him until I found out about the second shooting. You can't just go shooting everybody who had every treated your daughter wrong. My initial thought was, oh the justice system failed and this guy had it coming. Then after reading about the second incident, I'm starting to feel like this was more a crazy guy on a shooting spree. +Of course they don't see well as they age! They're so much like us, even in the small details of how they stretch their arms to be able to perform their work. Just like my dad when he can't find his glasses and tries to read his magazine. I can't even comprehend why some people won't see how similar animals are to humans - how actually humans are animals. It blows my mind every day. +I just read an article about 500 people being killed in an earthquake. I feel so blessed that I live in a state where I don’t fear earthquakes, or severe tornado warnings, flash floods or major disasters. Of course Vermont has had our issues and weather events that caused damage, however we’re not in a region of the world where we fear for our lives at certain months of the year. I could not imagine being terrified for my children, property, and family like some of these families are. Living through an experience like that, must leave behind emotional scars while growing up. +i could care less what isis does as long its not done in my country. I think they should all be put to death and be done with it. They are a terrorist group and deserve all the bad things that are going to happen to them. I do feel bad for the lose of life and feel sympathy for the families of the officers killed. +It may make me sound horrible, but I'm torn on this. No one should have to suffer like that for the crime of theft, it's barbaric, but if it really was a twenty-something that was part of an armed gang, I'm slightly less sympathetic about their victims retaliating. If it was a child, however, this is insanity and just horrifying. +According to a new study, the polar regions are continuing to melt. In a decade, a lot of the ice melted. This situation is really affecting polar bears because they live in that environment. I found out that they ambush seals as they come up out of the water. Whether we can change this trend or not, I am not sure about but we should try. +It never ceases to amaze me that things like this as still occurring. They want to roll back regulations when things like this happened because there were none and now kids have to pay the price, but they are kids of color so they dont matter. Remember this, Flint still does not have clean water years later. The government is corrupt and the cancer starts in the Oval office and runs through his swamp. Its time to get these people out of office and to punish the companies and people that have allowed this to happened to the innocent children of America. We need more regulations not less. +Hello friend, This article scared me. I can't believe how high suicide rates have become in teens. I understand that young teens are more inclined to act impulsively. One bad day at school can triger a suicide attempt, that's crazy! Schools should do a much better job protecting children from bullying. I know that's impossible to eradicate it, but it schools and parents take the issue seriously enough, we could at least reduce the number of suicides. +We live in a different age where millennials are going to be taking over the community shortly within this decade. First we elected the first african-american president. Now we have Trump, the most controversial president of all. He may change things for better or for worse time will tell. Hopefully he can bring innovation. +Corruption in corporations are an everyday occurrence. And it seems more and more the American workers are the victims of these erroneous fat cats. It's deplorable that the CEO gets away with corporate corruption and when the conscious of the workers come into play, they fire and ruin their lively hood. The corporations are in league with Washington due to the money trails. When the money is taken out of politics things will be better. +Situations like this make you feel so helpless. I mean it's utterly awful but there's nothing you can do about it. Reading about it just feels like needlessly troubling yourself. There's a feeling of guilt too because the whole situation was brought about by the US invading their country and we could've prevented that. +It's really disturbing we have a president that enables all these terrible behaviors we are witnessing unfold before us. I am happy there movements like #Metoo exist to show people that we will not tolerate these kinds of acts. It's like these people never had mothers or sisters. The way they act is beyond comprehension and I hope the media keeps exposing people who have bad intentions. +This is just more of the western world becoming cold and inhospitable. Britain and France are both implicated in the troubles in these countries from their years as colonialists. Turning their back on these people is a mark of shame for them. It's despicable to let these people live in squalor and then to call it a jungle, as if this is 'wild' is kind of sick. The wild would have more respect and be more amenable to these people. +you can't sleep too much or too little. What else is new. I'm sure there will be a high priced drug that can solve this issue. The scientists and government of America couldn't care less about the average citizen. Look at the food supply, look at all of the drugs they want us to take. it's all about money and has nothing to do with concern for our well-being. +I know people tend to get really angry at law enforcement when a shooting or bombing doesn't get prevented, but I feel like it is way too complicated of an issue. I just read and article about it, and for law enforcement to keep enough information and follow enough leads to prevent every attack, we would need to sacrifice a lot of our civil liberties. It is just not worth it. +This is just something better to know. I am not a person who really alert about what is going on around. I never heard about this. I do not really have any comments. Just want today that it is good to find a way to save money. If you could, you can transfer this article's to whose who will find them useful. +That Kirk guy seems like a real loser. How can you lie about your military history and still get to serve as a politician. Than to attack somebody that you don't even know the facts about that person especially when they have made sacrifices for their country. So what if somebody was born somewhere else. If they have put their time and heart into a place that place is their home. +I read an article about the gender gap in the world today. Sadly the US has moved down in the list behind all of the major European countries. I guess the number of women working in senior positions is shrinking. There is also a decline of women in the labor force. But there is evidence that the education gender gap is shrinking, so there are more women educated. It just seems that more women are choosing not to work. +Take a look at this. It's very dry, and I don't understand half the words, but while I was reading it, I was feeling sort of glad that apparently plant and animal species are adapting to the warming climate. It seemed like the planet is warming slowly enough for a lot of ecosystems to adapt. And then I read the last bit, about humans and agriculture, and got cold all over again. Will we adapt, too? I gotta say, at this point, I'm hoping that volcano in Hawaii spews a gazillion tons of ash (after everyone's been evacuated, of course) into the atmosphere to block the sun and cool things down. It may be our best shot. We could only be so lucky. +I am so tired of war. Especially when all it ends in death, murder, rape, etc. What is the point of all that. Who benefits from it? It just makes me sad for all those people. It sure does make me grateful to live in a country where I do not have to deal with all that. Could you imagine waking up every day not knowing if you're going to die or blow up from a bomb? +Thank goodness for PresdientTrump hopefully this means an end to DACA and hopefully immigration reform in the near future! These people have broken the law and are here illegally yet they expect to be treated just like US citizens. DACA is a slap in the face to those immigrants who followed the law and went through the process to become legal citizens. Liberals are not adjusting very well to the defeat of Hillary - they are still crying. +I am so glad that I'm not a celebrity having my every move made public and being analyzed. It would be awful to be under that constant and never ending scrutiny. The thought of being under the constant watchful eye of the world, and them profiting from a me having a bad day makes my stomach turn. I feel bad for him in a way, I've had a few rocky relationships and I couldn't imagine going through them publicly. +That really crazy that a woman would actually push another person on to train tracks based off a disagreement. I get that you guys don't agree with something but that doesn't give you the right to take a persons life. I feel so sorry for the victims family because they lost a valuable family member over some petty dispute that would probably be forgotten the next day. Truly a tragic story that should be a learning situation for anyone with a disagreement with another individual. +I just read this article about a wolf being killed after traveling 700 miles by a government agent . I don't understand it ! There was no reason for it . It hadn't attacked or disturbed anyone so what was the point of it all ? I feel like anymore people just kill animals to kill . This is why one day so these animals will be extinct . I think that it should be against the law to kill any animal that hasn't put you in danger in and way ! This is not ok! This needs to stop ! I am disgusted by it all! +I think this situation will more or less quickly be resolved. It is just a temporary issue and I really believe the gas prices will go back to normal. I don't think there should be too much to worry about. I remember this happened around the crisis here back in 2009 and everything was settled rather quickly. +Women in Iceland protested the pay gap between men and women by arguing that a woman's salary is 30% less than the salary of a man in similar work positions, the women of Iceland decreased their working day 30% of the time daily work and went out to protest united to a square.This was supported by the majority of the community. +This is a dangerous occupation and I wish no one would do it. Some have to feed their families so I understand if it's the only job available. However- the government should make it safe for them. It is unavoidable and it seems it cannot be made safer. My condolences. I wouldn't want my family to work in one. +Just read that due to climate change, hotter than normal temps may be the new normal. In 2013, temps screamed up to 122 F. in Australia, which is frightening. But when you think about who really has the capacity to change this -- which is each individual -- it gets even more frightening. The primary cause of climate change is just too many people, full stop. I do not have much hope that people will stop procreating to save themselves, and this is the biggest tragedy of all. +Why do people hurt harmless animals? It doesn't make sense to me honestly. I look into the eyes of an animal and I can't help thinking that they don't fully understand why we would hurt them either. I think it's so cruel that people do this to animals because they trust us to keep them safe it doesn't matter if they're wild or not. This poor elephant that was chained up, and beaten, and made to do tricks just for our amusement. +Hearing about the violence going on over politics in the country is really sad and upsetting. It's easy to take for granted how we live and how lucky we are that we don't have to worry about people killing us on a daily basis. Our government is also democratic which means people have a voice. This isn't the case in some areas/ +Honestly it seems that the world is and has been providing a place for many refugees from all over for some time. I find it annoying that despite the people from africa and the middle east being evacuated from theyre previous worse situations they still feel the need to incite riot and cause chaos and show not only ungratefulness, but barbarity. +You have to read this. It's unbelievable that people could act so rash and wrong towards another human being, no matter what happened. If I were in that situation, I'd be so angry and I would want to hurt someone back. It's hard not to get caught up in the emotion of the situation since so many people got hurt. +This is so sad, but I think it had a lot to do with a bunch of college kids drinking and partying, and then something going terribly wrong. I think there was a group of kids that started arguing with the guy and one got pretty riled up and hit the guy. I find it interesting that there were things that were not being commented on. I think there's a lot more to this story than what the school is reporting. +I just read a horrible article online about 10 people getting hurt after a huge fire started in an apartment complex in Arizona. That is so horrible I really feel bad for them. The say that eight of the people had minor injuries so that is good that it was only minor. Unfortunately one person had to be taken to the hospital but they are in stable condition so that is good news. Apparently two people outside of the apartment were also hurt by the fire some how. I think they were able to get the fire under control pretty easily though cause it only lasted around 10 minutes. They had to have the gas company come and shut off the gas and apparently they are investigating what could have caused the fire in the first place. That reminds me of the fire that happened at my neighbors house. +Take a look at this story about a forest being decimated and what is happening to the monkeys there. So sad. Think you would be interested in reading it. The government is doing nothing to stop the deforestation or anything to protect the monkeys. I know that it is not local to us, but still a sad thing to read about. +Did you read this story about the mountain climber who died trying to climb a mountain in Vietnam? It was very sad. The girlfriend begged him to get help but he refused until it was too late. I feel so bad for his family and girlfriend he left behind. I do take comfort in knowing that's what he wanted to do and he died following what he wants. +Did you hear about the three people who died on Halloween night? It happened in Mississippi on a highway. Someone hit a trailer that was pulling people on a highway. Several people were injured, but three were killed. Authorities say that the three killed were related to one another. That is so sad and breaks my heart. It was most likely a family, a mother and her kids, or a father and his kids. It really makes me sad when I read about it because I cannot help but imagine how much fun and excitement this family was experiencing before the accident happened. The article did not say if the driver who caused the accident was drunk or on drugs. I wish people were more alert while on the road. Accidents like this are completely preventable. And now three people are no longer with us. +Shit happens. People die for no real reason all the time. It’s unfortunate for these people, but they’re not alone or special in their grief. Maybe if the ride was found to be mechanically defective they can sue and gets some money. Otherwise it’s just another sad story out of so many others like it in the world. +This really saddens me that people are so lost now a days. It never solves anything to hurt other people and this just shows a lack of judgement and remorse. It feels as though there had been a disconnect with humanity and we do not have the respect for each other that e once had. I hope that this person can find their way to a better path. +Hey, remember that eighties song "You Spin me Right Round" that people like to laugh about? The guy responsible for that just dies recently, he seemed like he was pretty interesting. I heard that he was on the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother, but I bet that show is just as boring as the American version. It's so interesting how the celebrity culture over there compares to over here. +I can't imagine the fear and anger that must be happening for these people to not only be attacked in this manner but to be in such a remote area that help cannot get you in a timely fashion. These senseless acts are obviously those of cowards that have no regard for human life and should be captured and dealt with harshly. There is not enough room in this world for people that would do this to others for any cause or religion. I hope that everyone that can be saved and cared for is able to get what they need in order to recover physically. I know that the emotional healing for all of them and their families will take much more time and help for these poor people that have had to endure such an atrocity. I can only hope we never see events such as this in my own family. +this is a very tricky story, Cook a 20-year-old business major with no criminal history, has seemingly been charged, tried, and convicted. there is a lot of evidence coming out to accuse him of sexual harassment and rape but he denies and calls it consensual acts of sex. His lawyer has asked that cook is not crucified on what is being said but by facts. +Thats pretty crazy that someone died in Jakarta. I don't even know what the whole issue was but just to think that just like that your life could be over. I get that politics is a pretty nasty sport but really when you think about it, it's quite different around the world then it is here. People think our current state of the nation is bad, can you just imagine being in some of these other countries where there seems to be nothing but endless political strife. I've even seen government members punch each other in meetings in some foreign governments. The world is such a crazy place. +rember when Kim Kardashian was attacked in Paris? I just read another famous person, Mallika Sherawat was tear gassed and beaten :( It is so sad you can not feel safe anywhere! I am glad she is outspoken and is bringing awareness to this whole ordeal. I feel so bad for all these people just minding their own business and being attacked. +A 22-year-old guy lost control of his Volkswagen and caused a head-on collision with a van. In addition to him and his passenger dying, a mother and two young children in the van were also killed. The van actually burst into flames. The teenage girl and her cousin in the van were the only ones able to escape. This is truly heartbreaking. I hope the impact killed them and they didn't have to suffer through the fire. +Lmao why has no one told me about this. This i\should be like public information from insurance companies but of course they are trying the most amount of money off of their customers . Us safe drivers are the reason why they are profitable in the first place, so they could do their part and give us discounts for our safe driving practices +Looks like India and Pakistani relations are going straight to hell. It is unclear if it was really sanctioned by their government, but Pakistan shelled across the border and killed 13 Indian civilians. Pakistan is saying India shelled them back and killed 6 of theirs. They are having some sort of dispute over their border and neither side really wishes to backdown. India claims they were destroying a terrorist encampment on the Pakistan side of the border, and Pakistan claims they bombed one of their military bases. The whole thing is a big mess and can't help the stability of the region. +Did you hear that 1 person died and 7 more were injured in Indonesia? It is pretty amazing how hearing about these things in other parts of the world don't surprise me but if they happened here where we live it would be very shocking and disturbing to hear about. I bet they were motivated by religion because over there they are very strict and kill people who don't agree with them. +Now a days for money people are doing anything, school children to make addict of porn websites and make porn video from them, i will tell one incident. The former elementary school volunteer accused of producing child pornography involving students as young as 9 has been indicted on two additional sex. The Guy Deonte Carraway, 23, of Glenarden, now faces a total of 15 federal counts of sexual exploitation of a minor to produce child pornography. The federal charges are separate from local charges that Carraway faces in Prince George’s County, where a local grand jury indicted him on 270 counts of sex crimes and child pornography involving 23 children as young as 9 years old. +I just read an article about some chowder-head who used a hammer and a pick ax to destroy Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Wow, what a great protest. You sure showed him. Good job. Lol, can you believe this garbage? Who has such a hollow and pathetic life that they don't have anything better to do with their time than commit petty vandalism because they dislike some politician? What a dingus. +The tweets attacked her personally, she explained in a blog post on Thursday, and celebrated the end of “Mockingbird.” “Mockingbird is canceled,” Cain had tweeted early last week. “But we need to make sure @Marvel makes room for more titles by women about women kicking ass.” She also tweeted out the cover of the last “Mockingbird” issue and encouraged followers to buy that issue and “send a message to @marvel that there’s room in comics for super her stories about grown-up women. +I think protests these days are getting out of hand. It's one thing if people want to protest peacefully, but it's another if they are damaging property and being aggressive and dangerous. I believe people should have a right to protest, but some laws must be in place. If you can't follow them there will need to be consequences. +What won’t people post? Some mom posted a picture on Instagram of her 2-day-old C-Section scar to remind people that it’s no picnic. I guess it’s an unsolicited public service message of sorts. She had some sort of tumor that made it necessary. She had the baby and that’s the god news. Surprisingly, she got about 1200 “likes” in total. I found myself wanting to out of sympathy. Who needs birth control with this kind of publicity? She says she loves her scar. Go figure… All in all, I think she’s happy it’s over. +The article talked about a person who took matters into their own hands where after their card was declined at Starbucks, he went back and ended up shooting a customer that was inside. This is the PRIME example of where there should be a serious look at our gun laws. Sure there is that second amendment that allows for the right to bear arms but look at how much our society has changed. Should that not be taken into account when thinking about the possibility that maybe not everyone should actually have that right? It's really sad how much our society has devolved into this constant chaos of shootings, violence, and terror. +The whole situation with Dr. Luke and Kesha got way out of hand. I feel so bad for Kesha because she simply became a victim of the music industry and lost her voice in the process. Dr. Luke should be ashamed of himself for treating Kesha so badly and trying to make her into something that she wasn't. I'm glad that she got the help that she needed and is making strides toward her own recovery. +I just read an article about the hate and racism in America since Donald Trump won the election. It talked about "countless acts of hate" beggining from day one of Trumps presidency. I thought the article was misleading. You cannot blame allready existing problems on a newly elected official. There was no facts or statisticis supporting the claims made in the article. +I can not believe that their is still such hate in the world. When I read stories like this I think about how we really need to come together and rid the world of such hate. All those times we talked about things like this happening all over the world really make you think about your own life and what we are doing to make a change/positive impact on the world. I think it is very sad to see lives wasted in this manner such as careless deaths that will get no one anywhere. I know that you have told me a lot of the same things, so I wanted to see how you felt about this too. +As someone who graduated with a STEM degree I know firsthand just how few women there are in the field. It's very sad, and it does indeed rob us of talent. All you have to do is look around to see how America is still a man-run country. The number of women in power is small, and women feel conflicted between what society says they should do and what they want to do. After all, many have aspirations besides raising kids. Who says that the 'house-mom' idea is right? The gender gap needs to close, and the wage gap. Women are not paid as much as men. That's a fact. +India just confirmed its participation in the Paris Climate Accord. I think it's great that the larger countries of the world are willing to step in and say that things need to change. I also really like that they made the announcement on Gandhi's birthday. I think that's a nice and respectful way to honor his legacy. +Educational videos can be helpful, but this seems rather silly to me. I would not consider applying make up on a train a pet peeve and I'm surprised it was on a list of complaints from other people. But we have to remember that this is a different culture as well so may be seen as something negative in Japan. I would agree on the issue of beauty that was mentioned in the article. It shouldn't be biased, only informative. +It is terrible that our political system is so dysfunctional that one man can cause so much harm arounf the world. The result of American ignorance will mean a great deal of pain in many lives, including those of our next-door neighbor. I wish we valued experts more such that we could introduce policies that help all people--which is quite possible. Diplomacy and politics are not a zero-sum game: there are no enemies unless we create them. All people have value and choosing knee-jerk hate will only harm us in the long run. +Hey. I just read an article about Somali refugees in America and I had many thoughts. I understand where these refugees are coming from. Having to leave their home and come to a foreign country where they don't know many people and having others not want you there. I understand that they had to leave their home country because of whatever issues the country was having but I wonder if these refugees could try a bit harder. It's hard to come here as an immigrant and I'm sure way more harder to come as a refugee but taking initiatives to push forward and somehow make it work would be the best thing possible. It did make me feel sad for them. I wondered if it's possible to give them more aid based on working or something to reward them for being a member of society. +It is very tragic to hear this news regarding the circumstances that many animals are facing in various zoos across the globe. It seems that human nature is causing these animals to be subjected to lives they shouldn't have to endure. If they were released into nature then maybe they would have a fighting chance but at the same time, most of them have been raised in the zoo perhaps so their "social skills" in nature may be quite the detriment as well. I just wish that some organization(s) could rescue them and take care of them the way they ought to be. No animal should really have to live in a zoo, to begin with, and now they are suffering from malnourishment and lack of care. It is tragic to read about this but it is the world in which we live. +I think it is really fucked up that people continue to mess with the environment. Corporations and these oil fuckers should stopped. They are damaging the environment to no end! Someone needs to sit down with CEOs and ask them, "Why do you want billions if you won't be able to enjoy it in the future when the environment is completely fucked?" Seriously, where is a CEO going to travel to enjoy his millions and stay at luxury resort villas when the environment is completely fucked? The luxury resort will be gone!! His wealth will end up amounting to nothing when he can't even enjoy it. His future children will have millions passed down but they won't fully enjoy it because the planet will be fucked! What the fuck? These people are morally fucking bankrupt, only bankrupt they'll ever know. +These poor people. I hope the researchers can find a way to help them. The thought that you can't even use the water that is deep in the ground due to arsenic contamination is horrible. This is a sign of the times, however, and I believe as populations grow, water is going to be a big commodity due to the scarcity of clean water. +I feel like the world is so corrupt that it no longer makes me feel anything. I expect the worst from this world and only am surprised when something exceedingly good happens. That is a shame that such a gruesome scene cannot even make me feel anything. The world is a cesspool and we no longer have any integrity to show for it. +the person that rented out the appartment i feel was in the wrong doing because they didnt own the place so when the damages came it he wasnt able to fix the problems making it the owners problem which led to them finding out and having to file the law suite for 20k to get there money back so it was a messy situtation +While reading this, I can't help but think about how much of politics nowadays is about money. How many millions of dollars is spent trying to convince people that someone is a good person and right for the job. It should be like any other position. Work hard. Do good. Build a resume you can be proud of and let that speak for itself! +It's always sad to hear someone losing their lives, especially during a terrible crash such as Yu Xu, who was the first woman to fly a Chinese fighter jet. It's even worse that it happened during a training mission, and not a real mission. I hope her family can find peace and that she can be remembered for her positivity and caring towards others. +I think it is crazy to think that the Zika virus is just going to disappear. I'm really worried about getting bit by an infected mosquito and then getting pregnant. I wouldn't want anything to happen to my baby. This person thinks that we should just put girls in a room with infected mosquito's and let them get bit. I don't think you can prevent immunity that way. I don't think this virus is just going to disappear. I think something has to be done to prevent it from infecting more people. It needs to be controlled. I think it is sad for those that have already gotten the virus. Something has to be done to help these poor people. +Once again, another group of innocent people negatively impacted by this buffoon and his horrific policies and his agenda. It still floors me that this immoral idiot is now the President of the United States. I've lost all respect for our government and the government "officials" who run our country. +How can anyone, in this day and age, still believe that climate change is not real? I imagine it's the same people who believe the earth is flat. We should be working towards clean and renewable energy but of course there are fights all across the way because people want to make money. Also replacing infrastructure is hard. But, that's not an excuse when you know that entire parts of the country might expand into a desert. This is especially true of North America. +Hello friend, I'm so glad I don't have a Wells Fargo account. I've hated this company for a long time. I've heard from friends that have an account there that they hated it. It's not surprising that Wells Fargo was opening fake accounts. Imagine the headache of having to deal with that on your credit report. Those customers should be compensated big time for this. Of course, nobody will be prosecuted. +I just read about Arnold Palmer dying. He was a fixture on Sunday afternoons watching golf. I really wish that he was still around, I will miss him out on the course. He has always been around since I was a kid, even when he quit playing he would be out there for the major championships. I think it will be different watching them without him around. He was a genuinely nice man. +It's no surprise that they're finally learning just how traumatic middle school can be--for everyone involved. Looking back, I can say that the person I was in middle school is almost like a stranger to me know. I was completely different before and after middle school, and during those three years themselves it was like I was someone I'd never met. God bless the mothers who stick with us throughout it all. +It's truly awful anytime some sick minded individual decides to take the life of others for literally no reason other than just to do it. Arcan Cetin was believed to be the one who shot up a maul and killed numerous people. It really is alarming at what goes wrong in these people's lives that makes them do such thing. +Oh man, I feel perturbed. Why do people have to keep suffering and dying so we can understand that strict gun control is necessary, who needs to die? How many people? This is just a sad and crazy story repeating itself, over and over again. We need to understand that as long as anyone can get a gun, nobody is safe. +This was terrible! I'm so glad that those guys got arrested. It's never okay to throw bottles at people, I don't care who you are or what the circumstances are. That poor kid almost died. I mean why? For nothing. Because of a stupid fan rivalry? What do you guys think? Agree or disagree? I can't see how you could take a different stance on it, but just for kicks and giggles. I mean I'm all for sports and stuff but if you get out of control and you hurt someone, that's on you. This is supposed to be fun. These games aren't supposed to be violent, and continued behavior along these lines could damage the reputation of the game, the fans, and the organization. I don't condone it at all and I don't think that you should either. So there you go, that's that. There you go. That's that. There. +I feel really bad for these orangutans. They must have been treated so bad to be in the condition they are in when they were found. Those things should never have been bought and trades and put in a domesticated situation. It's good that they're being taken care of. Hopefully they can recover and go back to where they came from. +This is going to sound insensitive, but this article was rather dry. And I just realized that that was a horrible pun. Anyways, this article is illustrating the harm of over pumping water sources in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It sounds like a really terrible situation, with arsenic being a terrible poison that's being pushed around by all of this negligence. You should read it. +Let's be real for a second - politics is and always has been a cruel and nasty game. These politicians throw insults at each other for months in order to win. That's what competition portrays itself as in politics. For this woman to suddenly become offended when she has thrown around plenty of insults herself is not just hypocritical, but also shows a lot of weakness on her part. I don't like her policies anyways! +So I read an article on Leon Russell passing away. I really do not listen to rock and roll music like that, but from the article you can just see how many people he has touched in his life in positive ways. There was even a quote from Elton John talking about how influential Russel was in his own life, and the impact he had on his stardom. +This man should be found guilty. There is no way he forgot that his son was in the car. The child would have been able to speak. He would have been in a front facing car seat. there is no way he didn't see him. He is guilty and he needs to be punished. He should be put in prison for life. This poor child suffered a great deal and this man needs to suffer. +Look at this nonsense. We can put dudes on the moon and videochat across the planet with anyone we like, but we STILL can't make containers for fuel that don't leak everywhere? You know that "Cui bono" thing I told you about? At this point I think someone (probably the environazis) benefit from this enough to keep doing it. How about we build pipelines for the oil? Oh right, environazis again, complete with the trash heap they left behind after their protest. +I wanted to write a bit to you regarding an article I just read about the Confederate Flag. Initially my feelings are a bit sadden by all the news and attention this situation is creating. I myself on the one hand would sympathize with those who are in support of the flag, like putting myself in their shoes. In matters of free choice, if it is their choice to want to display the flag, I support their right of free choice. I am also in sympathy with those that may find offense of the Confederate Flag. It may in fact open up old wounds, and bring back hurtful memories. However I fully support our President's view. President and Mr. Donald Trump feels that the Confederate Flag should be placed in a museum. That course of action is an intelligent response, for both sides of the issue. I agree. +I think it is exciting to learn about new ways to save money in my day to day life. I am thrilled to learn that there is a potentially far more cost effective way for me to live each day, which will put me on my way towards making my dreams come true. I am intrigued by the service and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into something that could be of great service down the road. +I just read the most disturbing article about Terry Jones -- that actor who used to be on Monty Python. Apparently he has a relatively serious form of dementia known as primary progressive aphasia which affects the ability to speak, recall words, and generally be able to communicate with people. So terribly sad. I can't even imagine how his family must feel. It would be terrible to watch someone you love slowly deteriorate like that,. +Wow, what an amazing story. I had no idea that the zika virus could cause such horrific developmental problems in children. As a parent of 2 myself, nothing scares me more than to think about all the horrible things that could happen to my kids in this world, and what I would do to prevent them from having to endure such things. What a terrible disease, and one that we know so little about and have essentially no real medicine type treatment for! I'm sure it's only a matter of time before this makes it's way closer to where I live! Scary! +This is a sad story. There is a Rhino Orphanage, but a beloved rhino just passed about. They tried so hard to save this rhino, and unfortunately the baby rhino named Thula is the area that this happened in. It never gets easier. The other rhinos here are being taken care of, but it was a great loss, and we all feel so bad about it. The name of the baby rhino was Isibindi, and she will be missed. +I just don't believe this article. It definitely seemed to lean towards a very liberal bias. I just have a tough time believing the numbers on this one. I would like to see where they got their figures. Unfortunately, I feel that everyone is just against Trump. It doesn't matter what he does!!! +I think its sick having these kids working. These kids should be playing and having an education. Why are they doing this? This just shows you how much people care about money. Its disgusting. Human beings are disgusting. I feel so ashamed. God will punish all of these people. We are just being controlled. Someone needs to put this to an end. I really hope these children get the life they deserve. This is why there is a lot of people suffering from depression because of these terrible things going on. +Hello there, I think this situation in Haiti needs our attention. It's clear that these people are suffering after such a catastrophe befell them. I urge you to donate and make a difference in these people's lives especially the children who are suffering and don't have anything to eat. Every dollar will count I think +I have never heard of any of the people mentioned in this article. I did not even know that there is a monarchy in Thailand. It sounds like the king that died recently was very well liked by the Thai people. Anyway, I hope that this lady heals quickly from her illness and that she has a prompt recovery. +I cannot stand Donald Trump and his fear mongering. Most Muslim people I know are very, very kind people. It is so unfortunate there are so many hate crimes because of the ignorance our President continues to blast on twitter. It's not just Muslims. It's everyone that is not part of the Alt-White movement. Jewish people, LBGTQ people. Black people. It is fueled by hate and ignorance. Trumps Muslim ban did more harm than good! He just caused fear, creating a deeper divide in our country. It's sad. +Honestly I do feel bad for him but at the same time you should not be taking a selfie around an animal that is clearly so dangerous. Pythons are really dangerous animals and I get that the man had rescued the reptile from a local hotel but even still, you need to have your eyes on that thing at all times. I feel like some people are not as responsible as they should be, and that goes for anything. People are too busy spending their life looking through the viewfinder of their smartphone camera and are so busy trying to document everything online in their desperate, never ending quest for more likes and followers that they are willing to put their personal safety on the line, and that's really sad and I think it really speaks to where we're going as a society as well, and it's frustrating. +This is old news, really. We all know Trump won...and no one really saw it coming. No one thought he could win, every step of the way...and yet he did. He's in office...he's messing things up...whatever. We can only hope Mueller does something and/or that someone else wins in 2020. I'm tired of hearing about it. +Isnt it crazy man that more and more sports legends are starting to pass away? Him and Jack were perhaps the most important icons in golf. Have you ever had an Arnold Palmer? It's a really good drink too. We should share a few Arnold Palmers later on today to honor the life of this great man. Should we hit a few rounds today as well? I mean I know you're a big gold fan, so I understand how this is upsetting you. I will send you more articles about him later on today so we can talk more about him. What do you think? Who do you think was better? Jack or Arnold? What about tiger? Either way, I hope you get this article and it helps lift your spirits a bit. I cannot really connect to the article since I am not a big golf person, but I still think we should honor the man. +hey guys as you can see here an elderly woman has come up and was taken tot he hospital by the police and they are requesting asistance trying to identify her and see who knows her if any of you have seen this woman or know any of her relatives or her name that would really ebhelpful in helping the police get her back with her family and reunite with them if you have any tips o nay sort pleas ome forward and csll the police +Reading about the sniper shooting the wolf was heartbreaking and anger inducing. I would have been very angry if i was the one tracking the wolf and found out the wolf i had been following had been killed by an irresponsible asshole. Wolves are a majestic animal and i believe the guy that shot the wolf should be brought up on charges +Hey I thought you'd be interested in this article I just read about the complications associated with contact lenses. I know you were considering allowing Mary to get contacts instead of her glasses this year. It seems that complications can range from microbial infections to complete blindness! Interestly, the CDC notes that there are less incidents with the disposable lenses. Have you considered them at all? +Trump should really not underestimate the blacks. They got complacent after two Obama terms, and didn't come out in force like they should have for the election. Now that Trump is in office, I don't think there's any way he can win the black vote, and that would definitely sway the election in 2020. I really think Trump's days are numbered, whether it's impeachment or defeat in the next election. +Friends and family, this is another tragic incident. This involves a troubled boy who was literally body slammed by a teacher. He then was rushed to the hospital but they could not do much for him even through all of their best efforts. In the end he had to have his leg removed. This is tragic and we should seek justice for this child! +How horrible! I don't care what crime anyone has committed, beating a person and then setting them on fire is detestable! I hope and pray that the authorities will be able to find out where this video originated from and bring the perpetrators to justice! It makes me sick that a human being could do that to another human! +this kind of stuff always makes me afraid to even go outside.If there is something to catch someone will just bring it to others and it is just something that is horrible and not what I would want to put onto others.It makes me afraid that it could spread and would make things worse for everyone and drive others to panic. +I understand why this is a problem but I don't see any reason to get upset over it. It seemed like they were writing about it with more emotion than the situation deserves. Trees die all the time. They're replaced by something else. It's extremely common. I get that it's worth given current climate conditions but still. +You mean you can't breathe in smog and pollution and walk away unscathed? Who knew?! This article states so much obviousness, that you would hope people were already aware of these issues. You have cancer? Well, you had better move away from that smog bowl you live in! India and China are both owners of some nasty smog infested cities. Not surprised. +Ha. Get him, snake! I'm so proud of that snake. If you don't want to be crushed by an angry python, maybe don't use the poor thing to do tricks for people. I mean, crushing the warm thing until it stops moving is kind of what giant snakes do. I hope they didn't kill the snake, poor baby. She was just defending herself, basically. +There is a bacteria outbreak in Wisconsin. Fever, chills, shortness of breath and has killed a few people. The problem is they do not understand or can't identify where the bug is coming from. Tap water or ground water is unlikely but they can't rule it out. Pretty scary. Its not a superbug in a sense that it does respond to some medicines. +This is something that the Geneva Convention would ban from use in warfare, as it is inhumane and immoral as a tactic. I am very saddened by the turmoil in the middle east. Often I think about how we got here and why it got so bad and blame the powerful and privileged countries, including mine, have caused these conflicts. It feels like it will never end, a hopeless situation. I feel powerless to help anyone over there myself, I can only vote here and hope for the best in the end. Maybe someday the people over there will be much safer and happier. +This article I just read is pretty disturbing. It's about a guy who was trying to warm up inside a hot spring that fell into one that was way too hot, and was basically boiled alive. It's sad, and apparently one of the people with him caught it on camera. The really disturbing part comes when the authorities couldn't get to the body because of how hot it was, and when they came back, they discovered that it had dissolved completely. That part creeped me out. +Hey, Measles is still killing kids around the world basically in the countries that don't take care of their people. The governments and terrorist organizations like Boko Haram don't care about kids. I gotta think this is just another example of pure evil, killing kids all the while the government takes aid, money, food, or whatever and keeps it for themselves or sells it to the people and puts them in servitude. God bless the USA! +I cannot believe what I'm reading. Details of that Wells Fargo new accounts scam, how the lowly bank tellers would make up accounts because they were paid so low and badgered so much that they felt obligated to cheat like this. For shame. I'm surprised these details didn't get really publicized when this thing was happening. +Man it crazy I just read an article about a disaster that struck Colatina, Brazil. The disaster struck when a dam ruptured and polluted the most important river in Brazil where people were getting their foods and surviving from what the river had to offer. Now it it polluted with mining waste because of the rupture of the dam. I feel really bad that they are in a position where they cant even eat the fish in the river because the fish showed some kind of mutation because of the pollution. It really sucks that a company just pays a minimal amount after causing a huge disaster like this totally unfair +Well, I totally understand the people to make a deliberate choice of not having children. It is such physically and emotionally charged task. I would say it is impossible to do it right. Infants, middle schoolers, high schoolers… It is not easy for kids to be kids, to depend on parents who are also struggle with their problems and issues. The issues of communication, balancing, keeping priorities are especially importance in the relationships with your middle school children: it is critical time to form your lifelong relationship with them and, probably, it is one of the most challenging period. +There was a person in the articles that was muslim and at a bar for nightly events. They got into a dispute with another person and then the other person killed them. The investigators said something about donald trump and his hatred toward muslim people maybe having something to do with making the murderer feel justified in his actions. +It's terrifying to think that suicide is becoming more common in younger and younger children. I can believe that it happens with teenagers, but it's starting to become more common in children and preteens too. I can't imagine the anguish you would feel to lose a young child to suicide. I can't imagine how you would move on from that. +See what I told ya! If kids are bored they will eventually be up to no good. Here is this man just minding his own business and he's attacked by a bunch of teens on bikes! The kid that threatened him with the bottle was probably just trying to show off to his friends. I mean, this did happen in Scotland but it could've been right in our backyards as well. I think we really need to rethink our commitment to the youth center. I firmly believe that when kids have a place to go and things to do, they are less inclined to get caught up in this kind of mischief! +What I learned is that one of the things I learned was Allah is with the patient people, that only Allah can protect a person, that Allah Is the best protector, Good and bad come from him alone, that we should depend on him for everything, that he will reward the believers who are suffering for having patience because Allah I always with the good people, I believe justice will be served on judgement day. +I can not believe the struggle that has to be. And for god sake, all of them are mostly arsons, well into the 70% range. I can't believe that at all. Seems a bit high but I guess people just have no respect for nature or other peoples lives. Having your house burn down in a wild fire has to be one of the worst things that coudl happen to someone. All your belongings, all those memories, the life you built and the family or friends you surroudned yourself with. Gone. Well hopefully not your family gone cause then you'd really be in trouble but your hosue at least and sentimental things. I hope that never happens to you. +It can be a hard experience to go through, but I feel that this was a good article about the conditions of Haiti. It's not in a very good state and has gone through some tough trials. The people are in need of support, supplies, resources, hope, and cooperation. The writing was very descriptive of what has happened and may come in the future. I think you'd find this interesting to read. +There is something very, very wrong with someone who thinks nothing of hurting a fellow human being. How heartless someone must also be to take the life of another human no one has the bloody right to take. And how rotten one must be to hurt an innocent animal that is without sin and any capability of purposely doing harm. +I'm not sure why this qualifies as news...I don't care about whatever is happening in Mariah Carey's life. I especially don't care about guys making other guys jealous....I feel for her ex boyfriend or husband or whatever, as it's not cool to purposely make an ex jealous. She could still meet him but I would do it away from cameras. +Things are really bad in Afghanistan right now - I just read an article about the latest. Refugees from European countries are being sent home to Afghanistan, only to see the turmoil first-hand. And there are problems with resources getting to the people who need them. So many displaced people in bad shape. I wish countries would get together and share resources and welcome immigration. If everyone had enough resources to live comfortably, things would surely improve. +A bus driver, going about doing his business, supporting the community, has had his life taken from him in what is a senseless and needless act." Taxi driver Aguek Nyok helped passengers escape. He was in the area meaning to get a haircut and kicked the bus door three times before managing to break it open. "All the people were at the back trying to get out of the bus but they couldn't get out the front because of the flames," he told the Courier-Mail newspaper. "They couldn't open the back door so I kicked it down and they all came running out. "It was one of the two: you get the people out or they're going to die." Mr Nyok said there were three children among the passengers. Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said it was "a very, very sad day for the council and the wider community". Flags +It is time to end this war and bring our troops home. We have been in Afghanistan for almost 18 years. That is insane. Our original purpose was to fight Al-Qaeda which we accomplished a long time ago. Then our goal was to kill Bin Laden, this was also accomplished a long time ago. This is a war with no end game. +These days, women are winning in sports. There has been so many instances of men prevailing in their sport that it is now time that women do the same. Sports have been men's things for so long and I am happy to see that there are women joining the ranks of these top athletes. I am so proud of my species and how we have come so far in equality. I love that there are more even playing grounds now. +How I wish some leaders were like Barrack Obama because some do not believe that global warming is happening.He has encouraged people to start protecting the environment to avoid global warming from harming us.Some countries have already signed up agreements that will help them like the paris agreement. +hello andrea I know it's only been 2 weeks since you went to japan but I hope it's good for you and that especially be very careful remember that it's a different country with a different ethnicity things are very different there I hope you take care of everything since There's a lot of prostitution away from the evils and you'll be a good friend until later +I think this is a terrible story to hear. For a family to be torn apart like that is just heart wrenching. It is such a tragedy for all involved to be lost due to a temporary lapse in judgment. I hope the father can come to grips with the situation and eventually find some kind of lasting peace, and be able to go on with his life after a loss of this magnitude. +I guess the Indigenous people get screwed again. Technology and progress is always messing with them. I'm kinda worried about the fishing I do. I fish a good bit and eat what I catch. I hope there isn't any methylmercury in the fish I eat. If there is, I wonder if it has messed me up some. That could be where some of my health problems come from. Maybe it's time to stop eating the fish I catch. +The thought of suffering from sleep paralysis is quite unnerving. It would seemingly be akin being a prisoner in one's own body. I would encourage anyone suffering from such issues to have such an issue investigated by a doctor. It is very fortunate that we live in a time where doctors can assist individuals with such issues, so people should really seek help. +i was reading about the war in Iraq. not gonna lie, i couldnt read it all. logically you know "war is hell" but all the details of it were too much for me. i tried, but reading of who's got a head head injury, who got gassed, it was too much. I flinch when i hear the words "suicide bomber" on the news, so reading about people being dragged into the city to be used as human sheilds was too much. I dont get it. how can people be so horrible to each other. bomb and attacks require calculated effort i just cant comprhend. +If you have gone through war, gone through hell, you should expect that when you come home to the country that you have been fighting to protect that they will take care of you in some way instead of throwing you out into the cold and basically tell you good luck. It is heartbreaking to know people out there are in poverty, but especially to know that our war veterans are treated this way. +I thought this was a pretty interesting article. I learned some things about Moldovan politics. It might be relevant to some of what you and I were talking about some time ago. In any case, it has some new facts that have come to light, as it were, new information or opinions that I had not fully considered prior to reading this article. +This is a sad state of affairs, but what do you expect from a country that is as corrupt as Russia. The ruling class has a stranglehold on the wealth and the average person gets next to nothing. The country is barely a step above a third world country in most parts, while the rich get richer and Putin profits. There is not that much difference now than in the 70's and 80's except now the corruption is out in the open and there are billionaires all over the place. +Another sad story. I am deeply sorry for the families of the innocent civilians that were killed but our United States army has to do what it has to do in order to protect our great country and keep us all safe as Americans. Living in those types of countries is a risk and sometimes innocent peoples lives have to be taken in order to keep us safe and protect our country. +For all the married couples out there, please think twice before you cheat on your beloved spouse. Is it really worth to throw away years of experiences down the drain just to have fun with a random stranger for a night? These celebrity scandals are such a joke, all the times I look on the news and these relationships barely last. +There is people starving and going without any food. Some of these people used to have jobs and ate well before they fell on bad times. They are suffering and going without basic nessicities. One mother went as far as trying to boil grass for her children to eat. I cant imagine lacking so much nutrition and suffering so bad +Hey friend did you check out this article. We should do our best to protect ourselves and our loved ones from Zika. I know that when my wife was pregnant I paid close attention to the news in order to be up to date with developments. It is really sad to see children being born with microphely. I really hope something will be done. +Wow talk about crazy. I know the situation in Africa was bad, but I just always feel it never gets better. You told me that you're visiting in a few weeks. Can you ensure me that you will be okay? I am worried about you and want to maker sure you're okay. Hopefully your missionary work will yield good results. Maybe I will read about you in an article in a few months helping over all. Anyways, I hope this reaches you. +It kind of worries me a little bit because sometimes I go through phases where I have a really hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. It's so weird. It happens or no reason and it last's for like 2 weeks and then all of a sudden stops and doesn't happen again for awhile. Sometimes I'm so tired and I really want to fall asleep but I just can't. I try everything, melatonin, warm milk, an eye mask and a fan or white noise but nothing works and then all of a sudden I'm fine again and no problems. +I was shocked at these statistics. temperatures are becoming dangerously high. the culprits is the fossil fuel industries. we need to hold them accountable, the government has failed, But how can we have faith in our governments to take this action when they continue to hand nearly hundreds of billions of dollars in government subsidies to the coal, gas, and oil industries? Ending these subsidies would be a giant step towards solving the climate crisis saving giga onnes of carbon dioxide emissions, and helping make clean energy cheaper than fossil fuels, we need to do something and do it now +A Cincinnati Zoo had improper safety regulations which led to a 3 year old boy falling into a Gorilla pit. This was the Harambe thing everyone was talking about years ago. They ended up shooting the Gorilla in an attempt to prevent the child from getting hurt, but there was a lot of uproar over whether it was necessary or not. It's a happy ending for the kid but I really wish both lived. +I read an article about making the ivory trade legal, and it said it could cause the extinction of elephants. I find it extremely disturbing, since I can't imagine elephants being extinct. It makes me really angry that poachers are able to kill so many elephants, and that even if it's legal to trade ivory, the demand is still really high. I think finding a substitute for ivory is a better choice. No one actually needs ivory, and keeping it illegal seems like a better idea. +I think we should just leave them where they are. They're not causing any problems. They're too dangerous and too costly to try to move. There hasn't been great reports of them starving. They should be fine to roam around there for now. We don't want to waste tax dollars to try to deal with a dangerous situation. +Apparently the giant albatross is being destroyed by giant mice that have overrun one of their main breeding islands. I don't exactly understand how, but the parents haven't learned that the mice are a threat and just sit there and watch them eat the babies. Seeing as how they are meat eaters you'd think the mice would provide an easy snack. +I agree with this article completely. I used to take the pill for awhile and it did change my moods and make me feel weird and just off. So I switched to the depo shot and same thing. It made me feel super depressed and also made me gain a lot of weight. I have had some kind of bad side effect with every birth control I've ever tried. I refuse to take any form of birth control now except for condoms and I track my cycle so I know when I'm fertile. +What I have learned from Aghanistan is that they are really the source of corruption in the middle east. Afghanistan went through bad conditions in the last three decades but in the new government of HAMID KARZAI from 2000 it's started developing again many reconstruction and other works can be seen.It's going to take a lot of work though. +Hello, I thought this behavior was a thing of the past, but read this article, it is rather enlightening. I often think here in the US there is a great divide on how racial issues are dealt with, and the US is not the only one. There are many racial problems in other countries and that makes me feel hopeless for the future. If we can't fix the issues here in America, how can we critizice other countries? +just another fucked up mental sickness of american police against its black residents, I honestly have no idea why they have to be so sensitive with their fucking guns, they shoot people as if people can respawn after being shot or something, police should think twice before taking out people's lives with no legitimate reason, I guess it's good that police have body cam, so the public can see what shame they are brining upon themselves +This is sad and such a strange case. I don't know who to side on. While it would have been good to stop the boat to look it also might not have mattered depending on where he fell into the water. I don't really care about them being gay or the fact that they say they were harassed that shouldn't matter in the case anyway. +A Russian fighter jet crashed into the Mediterranean Sea as it attempted to land on an aircraft carrier. The pilot safely ejected from the aircraft. Many Russian naval vessels are not off the coast of Syria in Russia's support of the Syrian government. Many Britains are concerned over Russian warships traveling through British waters. But Russia says its focus is about maintaining and safeguarding it's maritime economic activity and responding to new kinds of piracy and international terrorism. +As it turns out, male models do not make as much as their female counterparts. I was not aware this was the case. The reasoning seems to be that male models have a longer career, whereas women are considered going downward after thirty. The gap in pay between them is quite high. Some people are doing their best to split the wages more fairly, but it appears to be the default to pay women more in this industry. I think more men are paying attention to their grooming habits. I hope that men will earn more fair wages in the future. +so Trump's guy of SCOTUS is anti LGBTQ. he's so far off the mark its insane. wants to outlaw gay sex basically. like, WHO is gonna enforce what happens in someones bedroom? I cant with this adminstration anymore. where will it end? just let people love who they want... crazy homophobes are gonna make america a whole new version of hell +How can they do this to these people? Did you see this? How can you move people who were fleeing war and violence to another place after they had already settled there? It's unbelievable, I feel so sorry for these people, and someone needs to step in and help them stay where they are currently comfortable. +I just read an article that the U.N. reports that ISIS has executed over 200 people near the Iraqi city of Mosul and is using thousands of people as human shields. The Iraqi forces are advancing against them and as a result, ISIS carried out mass killings, punishing people who had defied its orders. They are even forcing women to wear gloves to completely cover themselves, and accusing anyone who has even a cell phone of being a spy. It seems they are growing increasingly desperate and determined to take the lives and freedom of everyone in their path without regard to civility or even basic humanity. This scourge must be stopped, it is so heartbreaking to read about these victims! +The article also good.but some times also said medical teams were examining the bodies and trying to determine their identities. “The investigation is just beginning,” he said. The Iraqi Joint Command issued a brief statement condemning the Islamic State. “Gangs of ISIS militants continue to commit crimes against our people,” the military said. Fighters from the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, have held the city of Mosul and surrounding towns and villages for more than two years. +You know how you were having trouble sleeping? Here, read about people who have tinnitus - it'll put you to sleep. I feel like more should be done to help the seven percent who say their tinnitus is a big problem for them, though. That's the same as any other psychiatric complaint, right? If it's affecting your life so that you can't function normally, there should be some kind of help for you +Did you hear what is happening in Aleppo? Residents are being texted (apparently from their government) to evacuate their homes in preparation of the city being bombed! It’s just terrible what those people have to endure. I feel so bad for them. Their country is already so war torn, and they are almost out of food. 2 pounds of meat costs $40. I can’t even begin to imagine what these people are going through. If it we here, happening to our families, I would be so scared. +I was reading where Chicago, Illinois has an incredible problem with lead in their public drinking fountains. This problem is all over in public buildings, parks and even in homes where lead pipes are still in existence. This is a problem that can have both immediate and long-range problems for adults and children in the city. Children growing up drinking this polluted water can have many health problems including learning disabilities, behavioral problems and a variety of diseases. The homeless are also prone to having problems because they rely on public drinking fountains every day. +There was this little boy found dead down a well somewhere in China. He fell down there well helping his father harvest, I guess on a farm they own. What kind of weird is that they weren't able to get him out till four days later; not really sure why they couldn't get him out sooner...could have saved his life. Maybe they just didn't have enough resources...sad...very sad... +I think it's well known what the CIA has been doing through it's torture programs of suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. Dr. Rosecrans a leading psychiatrist for the Navy was immersed in treating these patients. She worked there for almost fifteen years and had difficulty helping out these traumatized victims after their incarceration. +Looks like a lot of muslim hate crimes are going on, especially in new york city. A lady had her clothes set on fire right in public. People yelling "get out of America" at them, etc. I can understand people's animosity towards them as their religious people essentially declared war on us, but not everyone is that extreme. +Tensing was later fired. Tensing, 26, testified he feared he was going to be killed. Prosecutors said repeatedly the evidence contradicted Tensing’s story. Judge Megan Shanahan said Saturday that the jury of 10 whites and two blacks spent more two hours deliberating Saturday morning after getting a night’s sleep and still could not reach a decision. “It’s obvious to me you have made a sincere and conscientious effort,” the judge said before setting a new hearing date for Nov. 28 to determine whether the case will re-tried. County prosecutor Joe Deters said he’ll decide within the next two weeks whether to try the case again. Attorney Al Gerhardstein, who represents the DuBose family, said they want another trial and can’t understand why the jury couldn’t reach a conclusion. “With the video +Can you believe this article? The more I read this article the more disgusted I got with what had been done to this kitten. This is a awful story that deserves to be heard by more people to make sure that the the kitten receives justice, and that the person who did this is not allowed to hurt any more animals. I think it is a great thing that this person is not allowing for someone to get away with this and making sure that others will stand with him and not allow this crime to go unpunished. I think it would be great if you could share this story and let others know so something like this can be stopped in the future. +I think the wraparound glasses are a great idea. I don't care how ridiculous they look. If I had to choose whether or not my kid was worried about fashion or protecting his eyes, eye protection would win every time. Ugh, can you imagine the possibility of losing your eyesight, or possibly even the whole eye, just because you didn't want to look silly? Nope, wraparound glasses all the way! +This is no surprise. As with every year before it for the past couple decades, this was the hottest year on record. I do not know how so many people can take irrefutable scientific evidence like this and still not only question, but outright deny that global warming is happening. It makes me angry that we are killing this planet and there are so many people that are simply too stupid too admit it is happening and fix it. +I think it is important to ensure safe drivers on our roads, for our family’s sake. I believe that the rate of accidents on American roads is far higher than acceptable. I believe there should be more restrictive driving requirements and testing, as well as harsher punishments for drivers who do not respect the riles of the road. +If he is not responsible for the killings, it would be baffling as to why he would attack the officers. If it turns out that he was responsible for these killings, it is good that he can no longer harm anyone else. It must be a nerve-wracking job to be a police officer, knowing that at any moment someone could attack you for no good reason. +Wow - what a lucky cop!! I can't believe he was able to stop that guy. The community is much better off without him. As fascinating as I find true crime, I really don't understand the impulse of some people to kill. It's crazy. I can't believe the damage that guy caused. Luckily, he was stopped!! +I think issues like basic income, universal healthcare, and right to assisted dying are way more important. My interest in being fit or healthy is the reduction of painful symptoms. When I eat sugar, carbs, and enriched flour foods, my legs hurt, my back hurts, my stomach digestion goes very bad, and I get heartburn. For me, it's not so much about being fat or not, it's about reducing pain. +I personally don't agree with science making these kinds of decisions. Maybe, just maybe, a higher power didn't want these people to reproduce? How do we know that these methods don't permanently change something in the DNA that helps guarantee that a serial killer is born four of five generations down the line. How do we know? There have been no studies. I would guess by this article that since boys that are born using this method also have low sperm counts, that something, or someone, somewhere, is trying to tell them something. +It's shocking how little people care about this and how little Africa gets mentioned in the news. This is horrific when you think about the number of victims and the people who are harmed. I wish people could focus on this. It's ridiculous that people are getting away with this and it is a huge crisis on the level of other genocides in history. +I just can't imagine forcing a child any child let alone your child into such sick sexual acts. I'm a firm believer of every family is different but something like this is appalling in my opinion. And there should never be any grounds of acceptance for such behavior. I commend the victim of these acts, that she was strong and spoke up against her parents. I can't imagine how she felt or how she coped going through such an ordeal. I'm happy that she was able to tell her story and maybe so no one else has to go through it. +This is horrible. Too have a disaster like this happen is sad. Other nations should do what we can in order to help. You never know when we may need the help for other countries. We know as a country how hard it is to loss everything to a natural disaster. All the lives lost it is best practice to help out. +I'm not sure how to feel about animals that are considered as abused when being used for entertainment purposes. It gives us the opportunity to learn and see them up close but at the same time its hard to handle the fact that these animals might be feeling pain. I mean imagine being captive by monkeys your whole life so they can introduce them to humans. Would be sad. +I saw a story about Yemen today. Have you read about it. It looks like ethnic cleansing over there. It is so awful hearing about innocent people being killed just because of where they are from. It's like Nazi Germany in some parts of the world. It is very scary to me. Nobody is really doing anything but making proclamations. Rights groups can't seem to do anything either. I wish these evil people would stop doing this. +What a rare occurrence to have that mutation come up for both parents. I feel very bad for Nicholas and his family. Thankfully they are able to afford the treatments that Nicholas would need almost his entire life. I feel bad for the family who aren't able to afford such treatments for their own kids. +So, I just read an article that I have absolutely no interest in. It was a bunch of gossip about Val Kilmer's health, as if that is newsworthy. I'm not even sure why I read the whole thing. I gained nothing in the way of knowledge by reading this article. What a waste of time! People really should learn how to mind their own business. +You should read this article on climate change. It's incredibly fascinating. Climate change is happening and it's really scary. Humans are causing it. It will soon be a major problem for us all. It affects all life on earth, not just people. Biodiversity has been affected and has gone down. Temperatures are changing for the worse. It's simply awful. +This article says that, A deeper look inside Wells Fargo's shameful vault — People my kids' age, who track their money by smartphone, wonder why garish competing bank branches still stud every shopping district in Philadelphia and the suburbs. Now we know: Behind the lollipops and the barred cages where the tellers sit, perverse incentives at many banks turn branches into, not just stores, but sweatshops, pushing products customers don't need and may not have ordered, thanks to admissions by Wells Fargo Bank, the dominant lender around Philadelphia, and veteran bankers. Facing outrage, Wells Fargo has belatedly stalled tens of millions of dollars in stock awards to two top executives after admitting it fired 5,300 low-paid workers over five years for opening phony accounts. +this is all about politics it talks about the like of Janet Reno, first female US attorney general who dies at 78 — anet Reno, former US attorney general under President Bill Clinton, died Monday morning following a long battle with Parkinson's disease, her sister Maggy Hurchalla said. She was 78. Reno, the nation's first-ever female attorney general, served in the Clinton White House from 1993 to 2001 +This breaks my heart. I mean, I know there's trouble everywhere, but these people have absolutely no hope, and the United States caused this, so we share responsibility. I'm going to look around and see which refugee organizations are trying to help, and gather donation information. Are you in? I'll see if Alan wants to bring this up at church, too. +Take a look at this guy! What a flip flopper!! He seems to endorse whoever is popular at the time - Trump or Obama. I also hate his only tactic for arguing against his opponent, drawing on his personal life. Instead of highlighting his policies, he’s trying to win on popularity. I would never, ever vote for this guy! +I am at shock for what I have just read. First of all I would need a lot of time to reflect on what just transpired in the article I read. Please when you read this try not to get too sad about it because it will get you sad. Just try to find someone you love and hold onto them because we should not take for granted what we have. +I just read about a tragic 10 story building collapse in a town called Kisii. I'm distressed about this news because they're still searching for survivors. There's been a report that 9 are still missing. I hope they're able to find these unfortunate victims. It was horrifying reading about the accounts because people could be heard screaming and shouting for help. I'm hopeful that they can help find any remaining survivors. This is such an unfortunate event. The cause was due to bad building construction as the developers have cowardly gone into hiding. Experts said a recent drilling underneath the building triggered the collapse. This is horrible to hear. Could you imagine if this happened to the office building we worked out? Such awful and careless planning resulting in lost lives. +I think this world is full of hate and i don't understand it. Why do they hate us? Why are they killing innocent people?And Donald trump isn't going to make anything better. He shows people hate and we might have even more terrosist coming to America. America should show people how to love. America acts like the victim but we have fault as well. There is no country that is right or wrong we are all human and we are all imperfect. The only king we should listen to is God. A lot of these presidents and kings of our countries think there god. We should humble ourselves and just love. Put ourselves in other peoples shoes. +this is an incredibly one sided article. not sure how they are even allowed to publish stuff like this. It is amazing they had to reference black lives matter, and all of sudden this guy was an upstanding citizen. There is always a reason an office pulls the trigger. Sometimes, it is an accident, but more often that not, it is not. Hopefully they will publish the toxicology report. Won't hold my breath though. +Hey, Billie bob Thorton says Angelina Jolie was never good enough for him. He is older but she was younger, I guess he had no control over her at all. He stats that Angelina had a high stakes and fast lifestyle, even made him wear viles of blood around their necks. I guess her saw her as coo koo and a tad bit crazy or or something. Maybe he had to get away from her hectic lifestyle. +The wildlife park offers their help after over half a million supporters signed a petition made by the non-profit organization Animals Asia to demand the closure of the aquarium. If the current owners of the polar bear agree to this offer, Pizza could be moved to a proper sanctuary and his life of misery would end. “The good news now for Grandview is that they now have the chance to put their mistake right,” Dave Neale, Animal Welfare Director for Animals Asia, said in a statement. “Thanks to this incredible offer from Yorkshire Wildlife Park there can be a happy ending and the negative publicity they have suffered can yet be turned into a positive news story. From talking to them I know they know that mistakes have been made in terms of their animal facilities and on-going care.” China’s +Those poor people! I can't believe the government is seriously considering leveling 783 houses! And especially ones that have historical value! There are other ways to increase your air travel options and industry without doing damage to so many people's lives! I feel awful for those people and, if I were them, I'd fight back too! +It's one thing to kill another person with a motive. But who kills horses and animals?! They are completely innocent creatures. God we have used and abused these animals for centuries. I have no idea what kind of motive this killer has. These horses deserve so much more. It's almost worse than murder in my opinion. I really hope this guy gets caught. +Victim Amanda divulged her horrific experience, including her parents making her pose for explicit photographs and videotaping their sexual encounters with a view to sell them online.f I could take it all back I would. I hate myself for what I did," she added, along with claims that Amanda's father made her "join him" in abusing their daughter. She suggested it was all her then-husband's idea and that she had initially fought him for three months, but eventually "gave in". +I saw a horrible story about a turtle on line today. A man took a hammer and beat a large turtle to death . He broke the shell on it's back and crushed it's head with the hammer. I hope they give that vile excuse for a human being the maximum sentence. I love turtles. They are so unique and cool to watch. I have a creek in my back yard and I see them all the time and they do not bite. I can't stand animal abuse. It makes me sick. +I read an article today that was discussing the problems with Sudan in Africa. The article was kind of hard to follow, but it seems like there is a lot of political and peace keeping discourse there. I really feel terrible for all the innocent people that are caught up in silly power plays and government issues. People's lives are being ruined and destroyed every day. +So, I just read this article about a series of bombing in New York and New Jersey and how these acts are being viewed as an act of terrorism. Sometimes I still cannot believe that we lived through 9/11, especially because before that I had never even heard the word terrorism or knew what a terrorist attack was. And now, we live in a world where we are constantly hearing about possible terror attacks or terrorists regularly on the news. It just makes me absolutely sick that this is the world I am raising my kids in and that we have to live in fear of someone trying to kill us or setting up bombs to surprise attack people. The fact that we cannot live a carefree life anymore because of the sick minds of individuals scares me daily and makes me wish I could keep my kids in a bubble!!! +This is a big price for reality shows featuring filthy rich people who care more about being seen than being safe. I'm sorry, I can't feel too bad for Kardashian West for being robbed, with so much tempting loot around. It must have been frightening for her to be tied up, but if I were that rich, I certainly would not flaunt it. +How to deal with that burning question of what is murder before birth and what isn't? Is it murder because it was against your will? Maybe that is how it should be determined if you walk into an abortion clinic you're willingly killing the fetus versus someone shooting you and your fetus is now unwillingly dead because it wasn't your choice? +Wow, a teacher get pregnant after having sex numerous times with an 8th grader pleads guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child. This is unreal and aggravates me that teachers would do this and children would go along with it. The world needs to worry less about wants, quit being emotionally and physically weak and focus on needs, not wants. This whole story iis pathetic and all involved have ruined their own lives and for what, pleasure? They're all weak. +Bullying is such a serious issue. It has been going on for so long. It is so sad that these young people have to take their life because they think there is no end in sight. What we need to do along with providing therapy for those that are bullied is to increase the consequences for those who are bullying others. This may have happened in Europe but in America teachers know this bullying is going on and they tend to protect the football players and other jocks. It is really sad. I hope you have never been bullied. I was and it was terrible. +Obesity is an epidemic in today's society. Almost one in three people are obese. Sometimes I wonder how we got here. People these days take no responsibility for themselves and their actions. The cost of care has increased tremendously from the obesity epidemic in this country. According to the most current statistics, over fifteen million Americans can be classified as extremely obese. +Did you see all of that stuff going on over in Syria and how Donald Trump in working with the Russian president to missile strike the people over there? Man, they really have it pretty bad with all of the stuff going on. I feel really bad for the people who are living there that really don't want any part of what is going on. Could you imagine having dinner and a missile comes flying over your house? I am definitely glad I live where I live. +Kylie Jenner pretending like she cares about other people. She makes a transparent marketing move to promote her own product by making up reasons other companies products are bad. It's disingenuous faux concern and anyone who reads it should see through the crap. It is disgusting and she should just advertise like a decent human being would. +You know I have no sympathy for anyone who harms an animal. I'm a huge animal rights advocate and I think those who are cruel to animals deserve very strict punishment. The officer involved should be charged with a crime and fired from their job. I hate it when people hurt defenseless animals and this particular crime did not have to happen! When this happens with children being left in hot cars, there are serious charges leveled and so, there should be the same in this case! +I'm not sure what the gay community hoped to accomplish by holding a gay pride event in a country where homosexuality is illegal. It's not like people there ignore such a law, since someone was powerful enough to criminalize sexual preference in the first place. I think I would rather stay under the radar until I could find a more tolerant place to live. +Since many of you guys are at the age of having children, I thought this would be something that is important to share. There is a virus called CMV I just read about that is causing devastating consequences in newborns. These children are being born with brain problems, hearing problems, and learning problems because the mothers aren't being told how to prevent it. Make sure that you wash your hands after being around toddlers, especially if you're pregnant! +Hey Jax, I thought this was a interesting article that you might be interested in reading. It definitely piqued my interest. I thought it relates to your situation that you are dealing with at the moment. Let me know what you think of the video as well. I might show this to Jackie too and see if what she thinks of it. +Our country is really at a place right now where its going the wrong direction of what an ideal society should be and how a lot people are worried about the future as well. This has clearly been shown with the spike of suicide hotline and crisis calls. We need to create a more positive and acceptable society in order for every person to feel appreciated on a daily basis. As well as we should be taking care of the environment to minimize all these environmental effects such as massive disastrous like hurricanes cause by human abusing the environment. +This is a crazy story with so many facets to it, omg. I mean on one hand, I don't support an eye for an eye. I don't support the death penalty and I don't support blinding someone. BUT on the other hand, this is a country where women really struggle and the justice system is not well developed. ALSO, he blinded a FOUR YEAR OLD GIRL. What the fuck is wrong with this guy. So if this was in America I would not support it, but I don't feel right condemning the actions of an entirely different country for doing what they felt needed to be done. +Its crazy that really intense and sad situations are happening around the world but here in USA were worried more about who made it passed the first round of the Voice or whats the latest viral videos. The fact the extremists are using innocent civilians as human shields is so cowardly and shows they have no honor what so ever. +As frustrating as it might be for the overflow of goldfish thriving in wildlife, I am very curious to see a four-pound goldfish. Could you imagine? The pettiness inside me kind of smirks at the growing population of them. There is nothing to blame for the existing and gaining population of goldfish, except for ourselves. I mean their very existence is because people wanted more appealing fish for their gardens and maybe aquariums too. Then they were bred and still are bred for trinkets and given away as promotional items. So I feel we as people have no right to glare at the survival of the discarded lives that were no longer wanted. I say,'You go goldfish! Live your best lives!' +Cricket players in England are likely going to have trouble sleeping after a 4th day of the first Test. Being in their shoes, playing hard and working together is the key to beating Bangladesh and they need to stay on top of their game in order to win. While it's physically demanding, giving up or blaming lack of sleep is simply not an option for the team. +This is really sick and disturbing don't you think? These soccer hooligans got all rowdy and worked up and when they were acting out like idiots they hit an eleven-year-old child in the head with a bottle. Poor kid had a big gash and had to go to the hospital and everything. That's pretty sad and pathetic, even though they probably didn't really mean to do it. +How sad, if you get a chance read this and maybe share, it could be the difference for this person to find her family! Sometimes I see these announcements and I usually read and share them, I hope they find who she is and most importanly I hope they find her family and get her some help. I think the more people see, read and share this info, the bigger the chance to find her identity and family, imagine if it was someone you knew. +I am so tired of hearing about this stuff, it's so fake. Trump is just a fake conservative, the same way that all of the liberals are fake liberals. Trump is far from a KKK icon, he's actually a Jew and a huge supporter of Zionism/Israel- this should make him a huge enemy of the KKK but instead it's all fake, orchestrated BS to keep us totally distracted from what's really up. +Every time I hear something about ISIS, I can't help but think about the role the US played in its creation and the horrors that have come from the vacuum of power in the region. I'm thankful to be American when I read something like this, but also ashamed at the same time in who we've chosen to represent us, not just now, but over the past 30 years. +I just read this article about the NODAPL protest movement that had a ridiculous headline. It is like they want people to have a negative opinion about this issue, so they subtly frame it in a certain way. "Empty your bank account" to make a donation in support is a very negative way of putting things, almost like psychological priming. Anyway, I wonder how the pipeline protest movement is going to continue under Trump. +It's always a bad thing when the murder rate increases. The fact that it had the highest increase in decades is incredibly disturbing, although it's important to remember that the overall rate is still much lower than it has been in the past. People think that things are more dangerous than ever today, but the facts show that's not true. +It's hard to imagine the life of people who left everything they had – of course, many of them had already lost most of what they had – and started impossibly long and complicated journeys to secure a better life for themselves and their family. Imagine having nothing but the clothes on your back, not knowing where your next meal is going to come from, but still hoping for a chance to rebuild your life. It’s heart breaking. +hey i just wanted to let you know that this is a rough article. the guy took him out and then took his own life. its pretty sad. the guy knew the employees schedule too so he just could have done it whenever. why would he do it and take his own life though i dont understand. anyways wanted to let you know i did read it and its tragic. i feel bad for the family that it happened to them. hopefully this doesnt happen much more +I found this article and thought you might be interested in it. This is so sad and disgusting. Gun violence really must be stopped in this country and it's hurting innocent people and even unborn people around this country. I think there might be a die in we can participate in happening this week if you can come. +I just read an article about wild fires sending a smokey haze across the state near the Appalachian mountains. Can you imagine how big the fire must be to spread so far and wide? And the people in the area obviously suffer the most. What if you have asthma or some other condition that restricts your breathing? +So tragic and sad that this police officer was just doing his job and now he's gone and his family is left to grieve his loss. I hope they figure out who did this and serve justice to the fullest extent. It sounds like it could be one of the people they found dead, though. I guess we'll find out later. +hey whats going on Jacob? I want to tell vent out something I read in this article. There was a Saudi-led coalition that is backed by the US, they had led an attack in Yemen, that had killed around 43 people. This is sad to hear so much killing in this world. According to what I read this happened because they are trying to take someone out of power and they are trying to bring in a new leader, I think his name is Abed Rabbo Mansour. The USA wants to put him in there. Also they are more people dying from the long conflict, people are starving and also Planes had attacked a funeral place and they had killed people there as well. All this necessary killing is not good for this word. This is really, really bad that we need war to solve problems. +Here is another interesting story but this one is about squrriels and leprosy. In the UK they found that red squrriels are getting leprosy and that never happened before. The article also mentions that Armadillos get leprosy also which I didn't know. I always thought it was a disease that only affected humans and mostly in biblical times although I guess it is not an issue now just because we learned how to top it from spreading. +The whole situation with Iraq and the uprising of ISIS can be attributed to the U.S. War on Terror and failed attempts at establishing democracy in the Middle East. The truth of the matter is, the G.W. Bush administration had no idea what they were doing when they decided to invade Iraq under the pretense of ridding Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction: Iraq had none, and we destroyed the Iraqi way of life over this lie. Iraqis may have suffered under Saddam Hussein, but at the very least, the region was stable and extremists were rare. After the American invasion, civilian deaths likely skyrocketed because law and order were thrown out as well. +It saddens and scares me that people don't see terrorists for what they are: radicalized individuals who have gone rogue. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people who just want to live their lives and practice their faith. This country needs to be educated on other cultures so we stop fearing the unknown. Building more walls and dividers between different groups of people won't help anything. +I can't really believe he was found dead in ol' Strombolo's condo. He wasn't anywhere near old enough to die of natural causes so it should be at least a little surprising when we hear about what the cause of death was. I am intrigued to find out if we have another Hollywood murder on our hands. You just can't tell anymore these days. you never know who, you never know when. +There are a lot of older people in Russia who survived the Second World War who are now trying their best to survive. Many estimates say that there are a lot of people in Russia who survived only on $4.50 a day. With this little money they do not have the luxury of going out to eat. Also when living on so little money it is dangerous because of Health Care problems. If one has to have surgery or even get expensive medication it can be a real setback to their life style. I hope the Russian economy becomes better enough to support it's elderly and everyone else in the country. +What a freaking asshole! Guys are so creepy sometimes. and in our own home state. I wonder who he gave them to to release them out to the public. Anyway, please be careful with your photos and information. I've been seeing more and more accounts like this popping up, and I would hate to see any of our sensitive data at risk. stay safe out there. +That is just crazy that a person waiting on his surfboard was attacked by a shark. That must have been pretty scary. I am glad that he didn't lose a leg or anything, but still, that would have been very scary. All of the sudden, boom, you are hit by a shark. I don't think I would want to go to that place again to surf if I was a surfer. I think people need to be cautious when surfing. I don't think it is really our place to force sharks away, as they live in the water. I think people just need to be smart and surf where there is a very low chance of being attacked by a shark. +Hey did you check out the latest dram between Scottie Pippen and his wife Larsa? Maybe it is dumb but I care about these thing because I am from Chicago. I have been hearing the name Scottie Pippen on a regular basis for the last 25 years and it kind of makes you feel interested in that person's life. I know fi this was about Michael Jordan I would feel the same way. +Oh, but global warming isn't real, right? We have all kinds of time to fix the problem, right? It's not humans, it's natural variation, right? Holy crap are we ever ostriches as a species - are we going to dig our heads out of the sand in time? Change has to happen, and it has to happen now, we can't wait for all the old white men who run things to die +Though all people who flee conflict can be called refugees, refugee agencies commonly distinguish between refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) to decide who is covered by international law and receives assistance and who doesn't. For the most part, little assistance reaches a person fleeing a conflict until he or she crosses an international border. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), established in 1950, distinguishes refugees and IDPs this way: "When a fleeing civilian crosses an international frontier, he or she becomes a refugee and as such is eligible to receive international protection and help. If a person in similar circumstances is displaced within his or her home country and becomes an internally displaced person, then assistance and protection +I just thought you would want to know my opinion on this. We've never really talked much about it. I feel like refugees from Syria should be given a free shot here in America. We have been over there messing with their country. We have engaged in war, both indirectly and directly. We have been wavering in our responsibilities there. To Be able to simply sit back here on our haunches in America Judging people who are fleeing for their lives..definately partially because of our actions, is wrong. They should be welcomed here. They shouldn't be treated as terrorists. It is important that poor people who are suffering should be welcomed here. These are people who would be glad to be given a shot, they would work hard. They are family people, hard workers, many of them are talented a +Yeah so global warming is really messing with the polar bear and the glaciers, if the earth continues to melt and the glaciers continue to melt then we could be looking at the extension of the polar bear, the disappearance of our glacier and mass ma flooding. Luckily they eat a lot of people keeping a close eye the sea levels and working on how to slow the warming of our planet. +Reading this was infuriating to me. To see such casual disregard for life, both of the animals and those protecting them, in pursuit of money. And for what? Snake oil cures in Asia, superstitious nonsense, and rich people wanting to feel powerful. The security teams seem like they're in an impossible position, restrained by rules while their opponents have none. It's a miserable situation +I know a lot of people refuse to believe the facts about climate change and some really don't care because they don't see how the problem directly affects them, but all you coffee addicts out there are going to cry a little shallow tear when your favorite cup-of-Joe goes extinct. The increase of the planet's temperature is adversely affecting coffee growth in areas where the plants have always thrived. Funny (not really at all funny), but more people will worry about their brand of coffee going extinct than about animal and plant species being constantly wiped out for good. +Hi N. Just wanting to talk to somebody and you as always you are the right person to reach to. I just read an article on the Matthew and the destruction it left in Haiti. I was overwhelmed and I almost cannot believe how many people were affected and not just that but they were suffering from all kinds of unimaginable things. Hunger was the first to list, there was a lot a starvation, people were poring from all over when aid was coming to bring them food aid with trucks. Disease was everywhere, doctors coming from all over the world had to face with cholera and disease. Infrastructure was damaged, homes destroyed. It is really hard to express in words all the suffering the people had to deal with. I feel like there should be something we should do to help. +Human traffickers must be some of the most loathsome people on this planet. Some may think they are doing good things trying to get people to a better place, but these traffickers do not see people and are wanting to help them. They see them as money, they take advantage of them and take every single thing they can from them while promising them a better life. They do not care about the safety of people and are just trying to maximize their profits. The only reason they wouldn't just get rid of the migrants out at sea after taking all their belongings is it may be bad for business. +I have no idea what any of that means but I wonder sometimes what it would be like to play a game that goes on over more than one day. Imagine if you could go back home and go to sleep at halftime of the Super Bowl and then come back the next day and play the second half. Maybe then the Falcons would have taken the 2nd half of that game against the Patriots more seriously. When I watched Lebron crush the Raptors I was kind of curious as to how they slept knowing a game was coming up. They probably felt scared, like they had a big test coming up and they didn't think they were prepared. +“The vast majority of battleground states have Republicans overseeing their election systems,” Moore told POLITICO last week. “It’s safe to assume they’re not rigging the process either against Donald Trump or for anyone else.” Meanwhile, Trump’s downward spiral has forced House Republicans to scramble to secure their once-safe majority and the difficult balancing act between Trump’s die-hard supporters and moderate independents has begun to take its toll on vulnerable Senate candidates like New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte. She trailed by 8 points in a poll released on Thursday, after polls earlier this month showed a dead heat. For the party that put Trump forward, the race has become less of a suspenseful thriller and more, to use a favorite Trump term, of a “horror show.” +I always feel bad when women talk about their experiences with sexual assault because you know how I feel about that but I want to put it into words anyway. I feel like it's always on the women to be the ones to hold men accountable and to report it and everything but I'm so frustrated by the fact that men won't take a bigger stand. Men should hold each other accountable for sexual assault and encourage each other not to do it instead of making jokes about it all the time. I'm just so frustrated by how there are so many stories of women that are suffering needlessly at the hands of these arrogant men and yet women have to endure a lifetime of trauma from it and men usually get away with a slap on the wrist, it really just makes me so sick to my stomach, I hate it so much. +it is about time that for profit education has had the breaks put on them. provide a substandard education at the students and government's expense in unconsionable. they should have been shut down years earlier. there are so many cheaper and better alternatives to obtaining and education. i don't feel sorry for them +Did you see what is going on with all those refugees? They are trying to cross over by water and a lot of them are drowning and there are record numbers for deaths from shipwrecks. Those poor people just want to get away and lead a better life and they all keep dying or continue to suffer. I really wish we could do something for them so they could all live better lives. +The previous article says that- Countless Acts Of Hate Have Been Carried Out Since Trump’s Win — Day one of Donald Trump’s America came with countless acts of hate that were carried out by his supporters against several of the country’s most marginalized groups. Day two was no different, nor the days following. Since Election Day, there have been more than 200 acts of election-related intimidation and harassment across the U.S., according to a survey by the Southern Poverty Law Center. People from all types of communities ― black, Latino, Muslim, Jewish, Asian, queer people, women ― have been physically harmed, slandered with hate speech or been the targets of racist graffiti. While we shouldn’t have to live in fear for our safety, Trump supporters feel more emboldened than ever to express +This is just sick. It kills me that this lady is a parent. I am more confused that the step-father had no idea. I doubt after moving to multiple houses that you would not have noticed something was off. I mean you never went into these closets? The biggest issue here though is that this woman thought she would rid herself of a problem because of social services checking in on her. It is disgusting. I am surprised the other kids survived. They all must have lived in fear of this lady. Makes me so mad people kill kids. +I just read about the Haitians who came here after the earthquake. While I wish we could help everyone we just can't. Only so many resources in this country and unless we want to become another 3rd world country we have to send them home. Make them wait in line just like any other legal immigrant. Why should they be given special privileges to be in this country. I hate to be mean but if you aren't here legally then you have to go home. +Ugh! I am literally sick to my stomach about all of these attacks. It's utter nonsense about how many people have been killed and for what?! Stupid preferences on what a someone believes a society should consist of?! It is disgusting. My heart really goes out to all those families and the doctors! Those doctors are tirelessly working to heal as many people they can and even by a dim light since the conditions around them are being torn to shreds. The amount of bravery to try so hard and keep the number of people dying as low as possible is amazing, to say the least. I really feel sad for the familes that have lost so many loved ones and that have been displaced. +Sally Brampton: Journalist killed herself after 'missed opportunities' — Sally Brampton, founding editor of Elle magazine in the UK, killed herself after health professionals "missed opportunities" to offer her help, an inquest has heard. Ms Brampton, 60, who wrote a Daily Mail advice column, drowned after walking into the sea near her home on 10 May. Hastings Coroners' Court heard she was "in crisis" in March 2016 and had sought help from a psychiatrist and GP. +As I read this article, I felt disturbed knowing that a sexual abuser raped his daughter for many years and the man who murdered him is getting punished for finally ending the torture involved in the girl's life. Of course, murder was wrong, but what that girl's father did to her was by far more unacceptable in my opinion. +So i just read this article on gold fish in the wild. Wow. I learned a lot. Apparently we have an overload of gold fish in our lakes and rivers, which is very bad for the fish and the earth. It's bad for the earth because it messes with the sediments as they swim low on the bottom. It is also bad for the fish because they aren't bread for the big waters. their bodies grow as big as a football and they can weigh up to 4 pounds. Some are not even healthy. They say the best way to get rid of healthy fish is to bring it back to the pet store and to not flush sick or dead fish. put them in an ice slush. this article was really sad and disturbing to read at the same time. +The indonisian government is not doing enough to protect some forest land. The orangantans who number seven fifty to seventeen fifty will be completly wiped out if the company that is clearing this land is allowed to continue. What can we do to form a protest or let the government know that this is not right.Can you help me with some ideas? Maybe we email the indonesian government first or attempt to call them. After that maybe we can plan to picket or have a demonstration at the capitol building voicing our concerns. Do you feel the same about this that I do? if you dont I will get someone else to help me or I will go it alone. I just feel so strongly that something productive needs to be done and fast. If we drag our feet they will have this land cleared before we can blink an eye. +Hey, take a look at this. Lots of conflicting information here, but it'd be awesome if there's any truth in this story. I hate to see when animals are in horrible conditions like that, though of course PETA always goes way too far with their involvement. Maybe that's why I'm not sure what's true and what's not in this article? +We had a squirrel that entered our building and it’s in our activity room and it’s jumping on people and biting them and scratching them,” a woman told the dispatcher, according to audio from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. “So we need help.” During the call, people in the background cried for help. “I feel lightheaded,” one person said. “I don’t feel good.” “Okay, does anybody there need an ambulance to take them to the hospital?” the 911 dispatcher said. “I don’t know if we need to go in an ambulance but we need some care for people here,” the staff member told him. “It’s still in there and the people are bleeding.” “Is everybody out of the room?” the dispatcher said. The caller asked others: “Is anyone left in the activity room? Is the activity room empty?” “There is another person +I think it's a shame that they made the employees create fake accounts in order to drive up the sales. What a shame. Why are they blaming the employees when it was those in higher positions who were forced into doing what they did. If they wasn't forced then it never would've happened. I feel sorry for the worker, but I would've quit before they had me do something fraudulent. +The company behind ITT Technical Institute, the chain of for-profit schools in the United States, will shut down all of its campuses following financial sanctions from the U.S. Department of Education. ITT Educational Services said in a statement Tuesday it would shutter more than 130 locations in 39 states. The move affects hundreds of thousands of current students and more than 8,000 employees of the ITT Technical Institute, known colloquially as ITT Tech, the company said. “It is with profound regret that we must report that ITT Educational Services, Inc. will discontinue academic operations at all of its ITT Technical Institutes permanently after approximately 50 years of continuous service,” it said in a statement on its website. A day later, ITT announced it would not enroll any new +You see this? Mostly this just pisses me off. America takes ten thousand refugees. Woopee. People are dying, and they need somewhere safe, and all we do is take ten thousand. And let's face it America's hands aren't clean in the middle east, or Africa. America has learned nothing from past wars. We should be providing help to get people out and a safe place for them to stay, but instead we just let them die, getting bombed in their cities and drowned at sea. So I'm angry about this. What kind of society have we become when we let this happen? America should be doing so much more, to help these people. It's callous to think ten thousand is somehow being responsible, being moral. They're just trying to find a safe place, away from the constant threat of death everyday, for themselves and th +I can't believe that there has to be so much violence and bad in the world. The part of this article that really got to me was that the Muslim women were being raped and that doctors and nurses who wanted to help the people there were being treated rudely. It would be awful to have to live under these kinds of conditions. It would be awful to have the prices of food go up because of blockades and other reasons. It would be stressful and scary. +Dear friend , How are you ? I heard that you fell down the stairs and broke your leg !! Are you ok ? Hope you are getting better . But seriously, what really happened ? Your mum told me that you were running and fell but I want to hear directly from you . I am coming to the hospital to visit you in an hour . That's my final decision. No one can change it , and yes because you didn't come to school today you missed a lot of work . Don't be too happy , you'll have to complete the work later +We really don't think of air pollution all that much in most of the country, but it seems to be significant problem in certain larger areas. Apparently India is having a lot of issues with it, and it's making people sick. It's really sad when places put more emphasis on businesses than they do on the health of the people. +I read a very disturbing article about a recent study on depression resulting from birth control drugs. The study was performed by the University of Copenhagen and has confirmed a link between hormonal contraceptives and depression. The study was extensive and performed over a decade. The incident of depression was magnified over 28% when taking the combination pill, and even went as high as 78% in the teenage population! Alternatives to the pill which are longer-acting such as the ring and implant were even higher scoring in depression. One outstanding take-away for me in this article is the fact that women are only fertile about six days per month as opposed to men who are basically fertile every day, and yet the birth control burden falls on women. Hopefully men will share that soon. +I feel sad when reading this story, as she lost her companion and that's just what some animals are to people their companion, not just a dog or a pet, it's a part of them. This man was wrong for what he did although he was justified because it was seen as self defense he definitely could have done something else before fatally shooting the dog and killing it. Unless the dog was charging at him and starting to bite him or bark at him he should have seen no threat at that time and I feel like this was a careless mistake and he didn't need to do so. +I am deeply disturbed by what I have read in this article. It seems that a man committed a senseless act of murder by pouring flammable liquid on an innocent bus driver and setting him afire. There is never an acceptable excuse for such an act. I can only guess that racism is the motivation for the act as the victim was a member of the Indian community. +While I think many of us are troubled with the recent relations with Russia and suspicion of rigging our US election, in cahoots with POTUS Trump and hacking, we need to sort through the details and make sure we are using facts when they are available. Suspicions are sometimes unfounded, my heart goes out to the agent's family. +This whole story of all the thirty three miners found dead is an unfortunate tragedy. Their loss is really going to affect their family, friends, and co workers for the company that they work for to. These type of losses could have been avoided if they received more help or they could have trained them more for incase any unexpected events that could occur like this one for example. +France has been through a lot of crap lately. Some terrorists stormed a newspaper office and killed some people; their have been bombings at the airports and train stations; and a little girl was among 90 killed during a concert at one of their local venues. As sad as this all is, the most distressing thing is that the country has decided to activate additional measures to ensure their democracy is maintained. This always seems to be the case during a time of great terror and unrest- most of which are incited by officials working within the government itself. +i feel like we need to do somthing about this problem that is going on we dont need moms overdoseing on drugs plus doing it while they are driving. maybe there is a program we could start to help these mom in need and the kids that they have should be taken care by someone else while they are getting the help that they need to get better and then they can get there kids back when they are able to take care of them +It always upsets me when I read articles about land conflicts involving Native American tribes, especially when it involves oil pipelines. I fully support expanding domestic oil operations so as to better establish energy independence, but care should be taken to respect the needs of others when developing pipelines. It may be expensive to ensure environmental care is taken and, when necessary, to reroute the pipelines to avoid encroaching on sacred lands, but that doesn't mean it's not worth the expense. +hello brother I hope you are well these days and thought a lot about you and more when I see the news I find out that Saudi Arabia is struggling to expand its territory no matter what this pado should take care of being there is very dangerous so be careful I hope you take care of yourself and think of us +Hey bro you been hearing about that shooting in Charlotte, N.C? Isn't that pretty messed up that all these police shootings and racial black lives matter approach to life and living day to day? I ready that 16 cops were injured due to a protest/standoff. I guess they say the cop shot the black man and he was even unarmed. Why so theey have to shot someone when they don't even have a chance to defend themselves. It is very sad world we all live in these days. No one can get along but shooting and fighting you best believe they can do all that. +i lof this article it has a variety teaching about science that banana is the world's most popular fruit crop, with over 100 million metric tons produced annually in over 130 tropical and subtropical countries in like a 1950s they used to grow banana this causes disease gets harder to control over time all this is done by professor of plant pathology at the University of California, Davis +This is probably one of the most distressing articles I have read in my entire life, I really do not understand how this is even happening. Over and over again, we are showing to the black people in our country that we do not have the heart or the brains to care about them enough. It just makes me so mad! +What a terrible tragedy! Accidents like this hit families so hard... and losing both a father and son this way! The poor family must be just beside themselves. It seems too, if one looks at the circumstances, that they were close and enjoyed doing things together. How very sad. The rest of the family must be just shaken to the core. Hopefully they are a tight knit group with support systems. I hate to hear about anyone in accidents, but this sort of thing is just too sad. +California has problems similar to Flint Michigan when it comes to providing clean water to everyone. While California passed clean water acts to remedy this, it has had trouble providing for the poor in unincorporated areas such as Methany Tract (sp?). But California has recognized that having access to clean water is a right for all people. Currently they are working on having a nearby city help provide clean water to the Methany Tract citizens. It really makes one wonder about all the damage already done, the health problems, the children, and it makes one wonder how many other places and other states need to have this resolved. +I just read an article about two US Military personals being shot in Jordan. I have so many emotions running through me. I am sad about the loss of lives. I am in disbelief. How could this happen? The article said they do not believe it was a terrosit attack so that makes me feel relieved, but still worried. US is there to assist Jordan for training. Why our are people being attacked?! The article said they failed to stop at the entrance so I do not know if maybe it was a miscommunication. I am confused to what actually happened. From what I read there was an attack on Jordan when they just drove and barralled through their border so they are on high alert. My heart goes out to all of those involved and I am sad. But why on earth would they think that the US military personal are planning +I feel sorry for this person's family. His children now have no father. You just never know what makes people commit terrible acts of evil. Life can be taken in the blink of an eye. You need to make sure all your loved ones know how much you care, do as much good in the world as you can, because you never know when your last day on this earth is going to be. +did you hear about the wolf that got shot by a government sniper in Idaho I think it was. He was a special wolf from a pack in California that was endangered and had a tracking device on him so they could monitor his movements. he had already traveled 700 miles looking for a mate, which is what wolves do when they come of age. They are trying to hold them accountable for the needless and cruel slaughter of wild animals. I forgot the name of the group. But I hope they stop them. Animals need more laws that protect them from evil garbage people. +So I just read an article about climate change, and it is awful. It seems very few people are trying to stop it and it is maddening. We need to take more control over the things that are being put into the air that could be causing such an atrocious thing. We need to start reusing things and switching to organically grown things, if possible. The oceans and lakes are suffering and eventually, we will, too. +The article I just read discusses how the US is driving the extinction of Amazon rain forest by importing Amazon oil. This story made me feel very upset. The world's rain forests are play a major role in our existence. Without them, we would probably no longer exist. It makes me feel like there are people out there that just care about making a profit. These people need to open their eyes to the bigger picture. +Did you know that the spread of cholera is so terrible? I had no idea this was still such a daunting issue so many people face. I agree with a line in the article that said "The idea that people are still dying in 2015 of cholera is outrageous.” I feel so heartbroken that people are dying simply because they don't have clean water and appropriate medical care. +Hey, did you know that Turtles are especially endangered because of people using them for food, exploiting them by selling and trading them, and they are dying because of pollution and damage to rivers and Lakes.. their resources and dwindling. The real worry isn't so much the problem with Global warming..they can stand that somewhat..the problem is we are damaging the planet and fresh water so rapidly they can not withstand it. More than 60 percent of Turtles and their Shelled brothers are in danger.. they are vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered. We should do something to stop this. These creatures sometimes live longer than us. How is it that we are allowing them to be maimed, eaten, and polluting their habitat?? We have to do better. What do you say we volunteer tog +Thomas referred the case to the full court, and shortly before midnight, the justices issued an order granting Arthur’s stay request. The order included a statement from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. explaining that while he did not believe this case merited a review from the Supreme Court, he had decided to vote for a stay anyway as a courtesy to his colleagues. Roberts wrote that four of the other justices had voted in favor of staying the execution. While it takes five justices to overturn a lower court ruling, it takes only four to accept a case. “To afford them the opportunity to more fully consider the suitability of this case for review, including these circumstances, I vote to grant the stay as a courtesy,” he wrote. Justices Thomas and Samuel Alito would have rejected the requ +Hey you hear about the Coffee Killer? In Indonesia some chick who is also Australian has been found guilty of killing her friend by putting cyanide in her coffee. I did not get too many details about all of the evidence that they have against her but to me at least it does not seem like they have that much evidence. I guess she ordered her friend a coffee before her friend got there and right after she took a sip of the coffee she keeled over and died. Pretty crazy, right? I think she probably did it but their motive is weak and I do not think that she would have been found guilty if the trial was going on in the US. +I hate when these type of things happen. I mean, we trust these people with our information, private information, and somehow it just gets hacked? Someone obtained it and now is threathing to sell it to the public? This is unbearable right now. They should have a secure way to protect the information we provide +The article was about New Global Warming study.warns: desert in Southern Spain in the future — Climate scientists from France shared a study this week about the possible grim future awaiting the country of Spain, and the Earth as a whole. They warned that if climate change continues, deserts in the Middle East will expand to the Mediterranean and even reach Southern Spain, transforming today’s deciduous forests into barren lands hostile for plants and animals, and of course including humans. Last year, hundreds of countries around the globe have signed a non-binding agreement. Known as the Paris Agreement, its main goal is to stop global warning by implementing and keeping long-term solutions. The target is to keep temperature rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit +I don't necessarily agree with this stance, as I feel Trump can help our country move forth and improve economically. While Trump wasn't my ideal President, he was the much better choice over Clinton. So, in my opinion, he was the better candidate. I feel like Obama was a joke as a President, and what did he really do during his 8 years of Presidency that he will be remembered for? ObamaCare? That isn't a positive in my opinion. So, I can't say that I really think Moore and I are on the same page, and we have a difference of opinions. +Tourist who claimed she was raped in Dubai is charged with extramarital sex — A British tourist allegedly raped by two men in Dubai faces jail after cops accused her of sex outside marriage. The woman, 25, claims she was attacked by two U.K. men last month. But when she reported it, she was locked up and charged with “extramarital sex”. She is on bail but is not allowed to leave and needs $30,000 for legal fees. +I really don't fully understand what's happening in this article. I get that the players need sleep and that's about it. Do you know much about what they're trying to say here? I have such little knowledge of sports that I struggle understanding the lingo associated with the sport. I can understand sleep though! +It's very unfortunate for both the wildlife and the communities that survive off of the meat that the rare animals provide. It's also sad how the police officers ran away which was I guess the main point of the person telling the story. That is very corrupt and wrong, they should have stood up for the Rangers being targeted. I think it's best if the wildlife is preserved and the community that attacked the Rangers were clearly out of line. +I wonder if this problems exists in the U.S. as well as the UK? This is a consideration, since we both have garden ponds. Maybe we should learn more about how to keep our ponds more sanitary for the frogs! I have noticed alot of frogs in mine, so this is interesting readying, anyway. This is just another way that humans interfere with the natural environment, I guess. +I read this article about what black people think. It is crazy that they still believe they are being targeted by the police. Can you believe in this day and age they still believe that. The difference between why more black people get shot is more of them do crimes. Add to the fact that black families tell their kids not to trust the police. Don't run, Don't fight back and do what the police officer says and you have a lot great chance of not getting shot. I can't stand these black people who feel like they have it so bad here. Let them try living back in Africa and see how they like that. +This is just crazy, you have to feel for the mother, but at the same time what kind of apartment has that many violations and is still not punished. They need to sue them and anybody involved with this. I cant believe that in today's society that tragedies like this are tolerated. Somebody needs to go to jail for the death of this little girl and the injuries that her mother suffered. I cant imagine what the mother is going through and she probably blames herself. Things like this should just not happen. +Hey D, I read this article about this boy who was abused and went through stuff with his family. I feel like I can really relate to him, having a mother who had their own addictions. I always knew people like him always come out on top because he went through so much to get the success that he is having today. I wanted to show this to you so that you don't give up either, no matter how hard the circumstances are. Love, A. +My heart hurts for those affected. I will be praying for the soldiers attacked and their families. As we approach memorial day, we need to reflect on what we have learned in past wars and one thing is clear, mustard gas is not a weapon that should be used, I understand that many of the attacks going on right now include Guerrilla warfare but we cannot fight back in the same ways. +Hey, I thought this was an interesting article about males born through medical fertilization. Apparently, these men are also more likely to suffer from the same problems as their fathers did with being able to have babies. It's sort of sad to think about it. The author suggest using a sperm donor instead, but I couldn't imagine doing that if I was in this situation. +The situation in Syria is really shocking. I just read an article about how the regime in power together with Russia is bombing schools and relief caravans. They deny it and Russia and China vote against sanctions at the UN. It's hard to understand what could be behind this outrage. Fortunately, there is Human Rights Watch which has done extensive and careful documentation of the most recent school bombing, and there is some effort to get individual acts treated as war crimes through UN channels. +I was sad to hear that a woman was critically injured Sunday evening in a multiple car wreck in the Clinton area of Prince George’s County. It seems like these things are becoming more common. At least the reporting of such accidents is more common. People should pay more attention to their driving. I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone involved was distracted by cellphone use. +Leonard Cohen just died. Knew little about him but now see Ill have to look into his songs and writing. He was the epitome of the starving writer, it seems. His popularity continued to grow as he aged, and he was able to reap some rewards, but it didn't really catch up with his needs until recent years. He was a Buddhist monk, too. Had no idea. He clearly raised the bar in song writing. +It is really sad this country is still having major issues with prejudice and inequality. Being a minority myself, I feel for the Muslims and others who faced terrible treatment just because of their heritage. I hope you don't have to experience these terrible things as they have. I would be really careful who you talk to just to be on the safe side. It is an unpredictable world we live in today sadly. +Man veterans need more help. This article talks about how a lot of Americans have problems, especially vets, with sleeping. I can imagine that this sleeping problem can carry over into so many other areas of their lives like at work and their interpersonal relationships. Even thought they weren't able to establish a specific link their has to be a link between PTSD and problems with sleeping given the huge consequences of PTSD. +This is such a sad situation for both the people and the elephants affected by all the coal mining. The world really needs to move forward to try to replace using coal as a means of energy, and replace it with something that is less harmful to humans, animals and the environment. It's not fair, especially to the animals, since they don't really benefit from the coal mining. +Water parks and amusement parks in general are just disasters waiting to happen. We truly don't know how dangerous some of these things are until something goes wrong. Then we all see what was so obvious yet impossible to see until pointed out. I am going to avoid these places like the plague. Plus life is too short to wait in lines. +I just dont have many feeling about this article. I guess i feel bad for the teachers but it doesnt exactly bother me. I am not too concerned with affairs in other countries unless it is about war or peace and political things. Packing up and having to move your live away in just a few days is very hard and i guess i feel some sympathy about that. +I think they should find out precisely what she did to that child for 3 years and do the same thing to her for 3 years. Since she is stronger, she will survive, then they can bring her back to complete health, then do it again for the next 3 years, then keep repeating it until she dies. I can't comprehend why people like this do these things, but there is a special place in hell. I don't buy the mental illness garbage. OF COURSE she has a mental illness, but that shouldn't automatically imply protection from justice. The very nature of murder, especially of this kind, requires a mental illness to a certain degree, so no pleading insanity. Torture her as she tortured that poor boy. +Wow how sad is this news? I'm glad that people rallied together to help those people at least. This really reminds me of when I lived in Texas and everyone was having their homes and land ruined by wild fires that went out of control. People lost everything but luckily everyone really teamed up to help each other. +It seems pretty suspicious to me that a machine that was off could just turn itself back on. I'm sure somebody either accidentally turned it on or do it on purpose. That sounds like a really awful way to go though being crushed like that. They better come up with some better safety requirements to make sure that doesn't happen to anybody ever again. +Expert from an article I just read on the climate talks: "Mediterranean region would see changes never experienced during recorded history. Morocco could see increased temperatures and drought that would drive the southern deserts further north, displacing forests. Deserts would expand in the Middle East, pushing temperate forests higher into the mountains. Average temperatures in the region have already risen by 1.3°C since the late 19th century, well above the world average of 0.85°C, according to the study." And we are still arguing over coal as a fuel source so that the billionaires can make more billions. Read the rest, it's distrubing what will come to those who suffer through what has been created. +I saw some heartbreaking news and I could not believe it. Why would defenseless and innocent people be killed over something that they did not do or had no involvement with? I will never understand why some things in this world are the way that they are. There needs to be change but sadly I do not think we will see it soon. +This is another story of government overreach. Big government pushed by authoritarian leftists making a big deal over nonsense and holding back human progression in the name of hippy bullshit. If a species is endangered it deserves it's fate. More species have went extinct in the time before humans existed than in our entire existence. It's a non problem and just how the world works. +Climate change is extremely worrisome. And it is getting worse and worse every year. Something has to be done about it, and I think it starts with getting rid of corporate contributions to politicians and getting rid of lobbying. The world is dying and I think that needs to be clearly communicated to as many people as possible. Too many CEO's are thinking about their own profits. The system needs to limit their power and start focusing on the health of the species and the planet instead. +Hey guys check this article out. I was talking to about this sleep paralysis thing. It's such a scary event I do no wish upon anyone. I've experienced it in the past and is no fun. Some people hear voices, others see ghosts or the likes. I hope you guys never have to experience such a thing. It's good thing to know that it has a medical term and is not sometihng actually paranormal. +It's almost funny because I was looking at something really similar to this on Steve Wilkos, that a baby got hurt after pushing through a window screen and Steve was yelling at her and saying how she was so negligent and a bad mom but I honestly think that it's not the parents fault. Sometimes accidents just really so happen and kids are curious and they climb and then accidents happen. It's really upsetting for all of those involved and I really feel for the mom in this case because she just lost her kid and she probably blames herself enough as it is. She doesn't need society talking badly about her from behind closed doors. Accidents are just accidents and it can happen to anyone, although I think that everyone can agree that it's a really sad situation overall. +I just read another story about American soldiers deaths at the hands of terrorists. What upsets me the most about reading it is thinking about their families. I wonder if they had children that will have to grow up without them. I think about wives and their parents and how those peoples' lives have now changed forever. I think about how upset I would be if my son grew up to join the military. I would be a mess. +These pellet guns almost seem like they were meant to maim individuals, under the guise of a less-lethal round. The fact that the ammunition seems to have been modified to cause more damage, more permanent damage, seems to back that up. It's a travesty that such violence is being committed, such life changing violence. These people are not dying, they're being irreparibly harmed, altered, changed for the rest of their lives. More people should be talking about the use of such "non-lethal" weapons. Can't the local force exercise some restraint, some humanity? It's confusing, because I can't think of any reason other than harm someone would introduce maiming pellets as such as the case here. +Floyd Mayweather owes a jewelry store some money. It seems like it's the richest people in the world that always find some excuse either not to pay taxes or not to pay someone money that is owed. He has all that money, and he has to be sued to pay for something that he could have easily paid for in full upfront. People like him are ridiculous. There are so many people out here starving, and here he is sitting in his mansion not paying for something he bought. +IT's sad to hear about dead fish, but that's what happens sometimes. We can try to figure out what's going on and make a plan to stop, but nature is going to always come out ahead no matter what. nature always has its balance and you can't stop that from happening. If you do attempt, you're just going to cause more propblems than what it's worth and nature will still rule in the end. +Before reading this article I use to think that Flint was the only major water problem and I know that people have more on, but Flint is still having a water problem. I'm mad that California is the only state to pass laws for people to have rights to clean water. I know California has water issues with drought, but nobody should go with out clean water. Reading the article, reminds me that this is a world wide issue and we must figure a way to provide fresh and clean water to everyone. Especially those in need. +Hey, I just read this insane article about the situation in Aleppo. I didn't even realize how bad it was. People are dying and have no hope for the future. It really makes me appreciate everything I have in life and the article makes all my problems seem so trivial and insignificant by comparison. Anyway, you should check it out. +I just read an article about Kesha and how she was pressured into losing weight by not eating and "dumbing down" the content of her songs. It's pretty messed up that this is what goes on in the entertainment/music industry. At the same time though, she is an adult and she had the choice to go along with this or not. She cashed in and got a lot of fame. I can't say I really feel that sorry for her. If it was me I would have just said, "no" and moved on. She had the ability to speak up, but she didn't because she wanted fame. +We need to be more considerate of climate change, its effects are too dangerous to ignore. Because of this, it's easy to recognize the moral imperative we have to fulfill our obligations to society. We would be remiss to deny these exact warning signs, and we know that scientists have dedicated their entire lives towards the subject of climate change. We should heed their collective warning immediately. +i feel that racism is still alive today and it is a big problem people need to realize that color doesnt matter and that we are all humans with feeling and no one person is better than the other reguardless of the color of there skin. there should be stronger laws helping fight racism also teaching kids that its not ok to call people names just cause of there skin color. we need to work as a nation to fix this problem +A mayor and his bodyguards in the Philippines was shot and killed by local law enforcement. He was in to the illegal drug business. He was elected to take a stance against drugs. It's really weird to think that a mayor was the one taking part in the illegal drug trade. It makes me wonder who can you really trust. He was said to be a narco-politician. Sad to think the people can't even trust his own mayor. +How disgusting is Wells Fargo? It's unbelievable the way they treated their tellers, and all those fake accounts? Can you even? I don't understand how this bank doesn't get shut down. You really should think about getting an account with a different bank, you know. What if your SS got used to make some of those accounts? +I feel bad for the teachers but there are so many teachers in this country that I would like to see expelled. It is amazing how much power Turkey has. I do not really understand this power but it must be difficult to pack up your life so quickly. I can't imagine having to do that. How does anyone start fresh when they were expelled. You would always feel like it is going to happen again. +So what can we do when genocide occurs in different parts of the world? Does prayer help? Will war help or hurt more? When people do not get along, not because of a shortage of food or water, but rather because a belief system is not universal, that is a human tragedy. Saudi Arabia and Iran are prime examples of animalistic behavior at this point in time. We here in America pretty much killed off the American Indians because we wanted the land. Nothing different is happening in the Middle East. We always hear that might makes right but that's not truly the case. Might makes blight and generations suffer till most of it is forgotten. The moral is too learn from our mistakes and the bad aspects of what history tries to teach us . +I can't imagine what it must have been like for the people who were caught up in this, how helpless they must have felt. Not having any recourse for so long, no one doing anything to right the wrongs, just feeling like it's ok for you to be abused and for it to go on for so long and happen to so many people. Maybe they feel some kind of closure now though. +I have such tender feelings for all these poor women that are being raped. American women are freaking out left and right about such minor things when we have these poor women being raped and tortured for no reason at all other than who they affiliate with. This stuff is so ridiculous and it adds such a mysterious cloak to it because western journalists aren't really allowed in myanmar. It just seems other wordly that all this violence and just chaos is going on. Not really even that far away, sure it's the other side of the planet but these crimes and disrespect of human rights is happening one way or another. What would you do in the situation if you were one of the innocent people stuck in the middle of it? +I feel like there is so many people out there that are less fortunate then us, we need to take a second to see how people feel about themselves and the situations they are in and the people around them. I feel like the person writing this has gone through alot in his life and this all just adds into the fact of everything else +If people had to see how their food was killed, there's a good chance they wouldn't want to eat it. Between a live chicken and the package you buy at the grocery store lies a world of torture. The inhumane way some of our food, particularly chicken, makes it's way to our dinner plate is beyond disturbing. Factory farming is simply another word for animal torture. +it is frightening to learn about all these shark attacks but these surfers should be aware of the risks associated with the sport. relocating the sharks should be a priority and it would be in the best interest to establish a moratorium on water sports until the shark epidemic is dealt with. closing beach in australia is a good precautionary method +Hey, Zambia is protecting elephants on a massie refuge type area! They are fighting off poaching and that sort of stuff. Which is great! But I had no idea that the elephants are destroying a lot around the. They have even killed people! Sad huh? Also elephants will wipe out a farmers entire plants and food! That is really bad. They feel like their government care more about the animals than the people! I think they should provide some fencing. That is ridiculous to let people suffer all because they won't put up some barriers to block the elephants. +Seriously, timeshares?! I cannot believe it is even an issue for someone to get relinquish their timeshare. These companies seem to want to be your best friend to get you to buy a timeshare, but once you do they do not care about you, your family, or what situation your life is in. They make it hard to get rid of because most of their customers are older people who don't always want to go through the hassle. These people need assistance because the timeshare companies make it too hard to get rid of. Although they may say that they have an easy process to relinquish, but after undercover investigations, that proved to be wrong. If someone bought something like this for their family to enjoy but now their family is grown and gone, why should they have to continue with it? +I just read this article about trees dying across the country and I can't understand why more people aren't concerned about this. If we lose our trees we lose everything. It makes me crazy that people aren't paying attention and could care less about the snowball effect that is happening because of climate change. Because of us! +Did you hear the story about the orangutan named Diana? She was illegally captured with, I think, three others. These animals are becoming extinct. The good news is, though, that she was saved. When she was found she was blind and partially paralyzed, due to meningitis, I sure because she wasn't being taken care of. I don't understand how people can treat these beautiful animals so poorly. It really make me sad. +After reading this article, I had to write you and share it with you. You see, we aren't just crazy parents telling our children to slow down every chance we get. These young men were out doing something they absolutely loved and doing it with their closest friends, and now they don't have the opportunity to grow old and continue to enjoy many more things to come. They were so young and had their whole lives ahead of them. I can't imagine how their families are feeling right now. Hug your little ones a little tighter tonight. +well first of all whoever wrote this article doesn't know how to properly divide an article into paragraphs, which made reading this article extremely painful, but nonetheless I do know after reading the article that Zika virus tend to stay in semen and vaginal fluid for extended amount of time, so it's obvious don't mate with people who have zika virus, and don't even think about having a baby, they're going to be defective +After reading an article about the fraud happened years ago, I am now traumatized with easily trusting people. It is indeed a nightmare for all the victims to be involved in this kind of problem. It is a challenge to trust people again and invest your money on something. It is always good to know your rights before giving away the so called "trust". +Did you hear about this kid who lost his leg because a teacher body slammed him? Obviously I don't know what exactly happened but from the news report he was acting up and the teacher decided to use physical restraint. Supposedly in this county of Georgia teachers can use physical restraint on students if they are disobedient and a threat to students and others. I think its safe to say there was fault on all sides. The kid should of behaved himself, the teacher shouldn't probably shouldn't of been as excessive and the school should of handle the whole situation better. What do you think? +Whos mother would wish their child dead over being blind. That has to be one of the worst things I have read in quite some time. I have a very hard time digesting that the mother could overcome her daughter's death over her blindness, she clearly has some things that she needs to work out because while being blind is not ideal the girl can and will overcome her injury. It is truly unfortunate that they live n a place where the need to "own" land comes at the cost of this girls eyesight. It seems to me it was in an effort to reduce killing that these pellets were used and a horrible accident that injured her. +This was a terrible tragedy gone wrong, and honestly I don't really know if there was something that could be done about this before the event even happened? How did this man get into the airport with a gun? Was it because he did not pass through security before shooting this man or because he chose not to? I don't think something like this should have happens and being an airport i definitely don't think this should have happened at all assuming all the security that they do have in place how was this to happen? +well well well, look at what we have well, the arrogant Kim Kardashian finally got what she deserves: being robbed for millions, the thought of it is bitter, considering it's a robbery after all, but think the other way, a rich superfluous gal as Kim, broadcasting her belongings on social media, I guess she brought this upon herself +France Dismantles 'The Jungle' in Calais — A small camp in Calais, France, housing nearly 8,000 migrants hoping to cross into England, is being evacuated and torn down in what French authorities are calling a “humanitarian” operation. The migrants, fleeing their homes in Africa and the Middle East, are being relocated from the camp known as “the Jungle” to centers across France. Some have decided they do not want to leave, and protests have resulted in fires burning through tents, trailers, shacks, and makeshift shops in the camp. The dismantlement operation is expected to last for a week. +It hurts to know that those children may have lost their parents in their ordeal and that they may be put into the "system" where they're passed around multiple families before they find a loving home. I wonder if they have relatives that might be willing to take them in. I wish the article had been more informative and told a more comprehensive story about what happened and why the children were spared when three adults were killed. Perhaps there was a spat between the adults involved and the children ended up witnessing a traumatic incident. Either way, no good comes out of this entire situation. +we have to become aware of climate change. This problem belongs to everyone and if we ignore this problem, it will become irreversible. We will not have anything to inherit from our children. Let us support campaigns for the conservation of the environment and the use of renewable energy. The politicians only watch over the interests of the companies and not of the individuals. +It a tragedy when the people who are their to protect and serve us are gun down for no reason. My heart goes out to both families in this situation. It totally is unfair to die for no reason because of a selfish and ill man. It is really upsetting that this man just decides to kill police officers that are on duty to protect us from danger. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading a very upsetting and tragic article. It told the story of a young teenage girl in India named Insha Mushtaq. She lost her vision and 14 years old because she was shot repeatedly with pellets. She has been in and out of hospitals for months trying to regain her vision, but so far it has not been successful. She is trying to stay positive now but she knows that she has a difficult road ahead of her. I hope that she regains her sight. +This crash is so sad to hear about. It involves such undeserving people, and it does not sound like it was even the bus driver's fault. These people were just trying to get to where they need to be, and then something terrible happened. It is very sad and could happen to anyone at anytime. YOu never know what might go wrong in this world. +This seems like a conspiracy reach, but the medical exams were either lying or the bodies were really never examined. The Poles have a reason to distrust Russia- Russia does itself no favors, no country in the World should trust them-, they have a long history of conflict. The reason we had Polish jokes in America a few decades ago started with Russian racism towards Poles. +I had no earthly idea that Michael Douglas had battled oral cancer. I found out in an article talking about a remark he apparently made regarding Val Kilmer, who ostensibly also may or may not be battling oral cancer. Setting aside the absurdity of the media relaying a he said-she said moment with no relevance to the greater world beyond the individuals to whom it applies, it is terrifying to think how prevalent cancer is. +Can you believe what this family has done to these girls? They have treated these children so heinously. It is insane that the police wouldn't do anything until they were basically forced by the media. I can appreciate things that happened later to help these girls but this so unfair. This breaks my heart. +I just read an article about Wells Fargo in particular, but really it's probably happening at many banks. I know you've seen the people when you're out in public who are trying to get you to open a new account and you know they're just doing it to make some sort of commission. Well, come to find out Wells Fargo just discovered 80,000 phony accounts that must have been opened to fulfill branch quotas. Aren't these the institutions we'e supposed to trust with our money! I understand they don't think it's a big deal because out of millions it was only 80,000, but I find it extremely concerning that the higher ups down know what's really happening in day to day operations. It took 5 years to discover this. What else could be happening that we don't know about?! +Did you hear about the 3 year old that climbed into the gorilla enclosure and was dragged around by the gorilla. The zookeepers had to shoot the gorilla. Apparently, there were no problems with the barrier. I'd like to know how the little boy got in there. Based on what I read, I don't really take issue with the zoo or the gorilla. The barrier was at the right standard, and the gorilla did what a gorilla is going to do if something like that happens. I place the blame on the parents who somehow let their 3 year old child climb into a gorilla enclosure. Were they not paying attention? +Knowing how you love animals, I thought you would like to read about the Four Paws removal of the surviving animals in a Gaza Strip zoo. First of all, the zoo was horrid. Less than 20 animals remained of the hundreds that had been previously housed here. The rescue of the animals occurred under rather harrowing conditions with Hamas and Israeli forces launching missles during the evacuation process. It sounds as though the surviving animals will end up in different locations that deal with their specific species. They will be rehabilitated and may eventually be released back into the wild. Let me know what you think. +Here's one more great reason to never allow Sharia law into the US in any way, shape, or form. This is commonplace in the Arab world, where women are treated essentially as slaves or worse, while men can do anything they want and get away with it. What a terrible sense of "justice" or "law". This poor women would've, at best, been scarred for the rest of her life just on the grounds of being raped by multiple men. I can only imagine how traumatic this is for her when she's thrown in jail after being the victim of a horrible crime! Disgusting! +I can't even begin to put myself in the shoes of someone who has to deal with preparing to die half a dozen times, and then once again, it's halted, because people above him argue over semantics. Yes, he did do something wrong, and deserves what he is given, but bureaucracy goes a little too far in how much they can control a persons feelings and life. +There are many orphaned children around the world. International displacement is a huge problem that seems to be causing a lot of separated families. These children are having to go to orphanages, shelters, and other temporary placement in order to seek refuge. These children range in age from young to teenagers. +I had heard about the huge fires burning in the Indonesia area and the haze clouds they are producing but I didn't realize it was so bad. Apparently there is a statistical study that says 100,000 people have been killed by this. The researchers tried to count "early deaths" and got that figure. I suspect the root problem is corruption. Some of the business owners in Indonesia and Malaysia are extremely rich and can act with impunity, even though their actions cause great harm to the environment and to humans near and far. Maybe they should be charged with crimes for the deaths. On the other hand I dislike the idea of people being convicted of crimes via statistical analysis. It is too easy to manipulate. +Hello friend, I was distressed reading the article about the bankruptcy of American Apparel. However, it is clear that there were so many problems with the company, including the CEO, that the company has been doomed for a while. It's a shame the company was so poorly mismanaged. Maybe if they had a different CEO, they would have been able to survive. +I'd like to say that a comedy of errors has taken place. It seems our friend Gil got himself into trouble without doing anything wrong. His identity was stolen and then later he was mistakenly identified as the wrong person. Society needs to do a better job of providing enough resources for the "accused" to ensure that the perpetrator doesn't get a free ride while the accused seems to lose everything. We do live in a society where supposedly you are innocent till proven guilty, right? How can one lose a drivers license and a job without 100% proof on the table? Technology should be brought to bear to ensure that everyone is held harmless till all the facts are in. Is this achievable in our time? I believe yes if the right companies and government assets are brought in early enough. +It will never end, we will made to feel guilty about anything we enjoy. Not to mention that the "scientists" have regularly been shown to be fudging the climate change numbers. They don't want you to know that but want you to feel bad for having a cheeseburger. I don't like the cutting down of rain forests and believe that needs to end, but I think there are other answers. Getting rid of a great food supply is not one of them. Eating meat keeps us healthy and strong and may be the reason our brains grew to the size they did. Many politicians would want our brains to start getting smaller and more compliant. Getting rid of meat is not the answer and if we didn't waste time we could think of better solutions. +This whole article is a little sketchy, it seems like they're hiding stuff. This article, if you want to be really cynical and skeptical, makes it sound like the kids might be responsible for the deaths of the parents. It seems like a pretty vague article, I wish we had more information on this incident. +I don't think that it is fair to compare President Trump to Nazi Germany or the holocaust. I am not a fan of President Trump by any means, but I also have not once thought about comparing him to such a horrific part of the history of this world. Jews should not be worried that there will be another holocaust or that they will have to go back into concentration camps. I don't think the country would ever let that happen again, and I don't think that Donald Trump would go down that road either. He has a tendency to act like a child, but that would be a far stretch, even for him. +Just one week after Michael Bublé and wife Luisana Lopilato announced that their 3-year-old son, Noah, has cancer, Bublé’s friend and mentor David Foster gave an update on how the singer is coping.I think Michael, right now, is in a huge bubble, as you would expect when this happens. Everything shuts down around you,” the composer told Entertainment Tonight Canada later adding that Bublé will not sing again until his child is well.I’m certain of it he saidMany fans have reached out to the singer through social media, and Foster said that a few have contacted him wishing to extend their well-wishes and resources to Bublé. Though the diagnosis is heartbreaking, Bublé is “in good shape. +Hey, I wonder if this crash is related to terrorism. I bet it was. Seems like big accidents nowadays has something to do with terrorism. You got any family from Delaware? I don't. There is one thing I know, that I don't want to die in a vehicle accident. That has to be terrible. I guess if it's instant death then it's okay. I just don't want to suffer for a long time. I hope the people taken to the hospital are okay. +Wildfires in the western area of North Carolina, in the Appalachian mountains, can get so large they can be seen from space. In fact, some of the wildfires in neighboring southern states can produce enough smoke to cover areas of South Carolina. Despite not actually having a fire there, the smoke can get so thick that it takes heavy rain to make it dissipate. +Why would anyone, let alone a group of 10-15 teenagers feel the need to attack an innocent person? Chase them down and hurt them and than steal their wallet? What in the world are these parents doing? My mother would have killed me herself if she ever found out I was treating anyone that way. As far as any by standers that were possible in the area, I truly hope that they came forward and these individuals were arrested and detained. They are obviously a dangerous group of kids, who know right from wrong, but for some reason, they don't think the law applies to them. +What I learned about this situation was that sometimes life is not fair. Seeing this boy trapped in a place for 4 days is terrible. His poor body tried to survive and grab on for dear life but children are not exempt from this life. To think about that kid in that positiion makes me sad. His family is the one that suffers unfortunately. +Renewable energy is something that is very important. I am extremely loyal to the idea of renewable energy and need to develop a capacity to sustain my energy use. I am often the one to turn lights out unplug things, and etc. when I leave a room. I hate to have high energy costs when there is also a great amount of natural sunlight to be used. If you have a huge bay window in your bedroom for example just use that to read or do whatever activity you would like to do. +he government of Kenya this week revealed that it has accepted the request of the office of the UNHCR Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, to extend the deadline for the completion of repatriation of Somali refugees and eventual closure of the world's largest refugee complex, by six months.i will speak my friend +It's really unfortunate that North Korea doesn't seem able to help their citizens during a natural disaster. Hopefully some other country is willing to step up and offer assistance, although I don't know how that works since they don't really let people in. It must be pretty devastating if they are resorting to asking for outside help. +When will this world learn that rape is wrong, regardless of the context? Too many women are treated as an object, then punished by the system afterward. Some would say it is because of the religious beliefs in the area but America is no better. In our own backyard women can be raped and forced into carrying the baby to term as the father has "rights." Something needs to be done, and the British government needs to step in a help his woman. +The extinct of Rhino species had hope for survival species. There will always be Hope, for this iconic rhino will live on in everyone’s hearts and in STS’s mission of Creating Hope from Hurt. no one not stop the fight to save your species from extinction and will unite to end poaching and the illegal Rhino Horn & Ivory Trade worldwide +I read an article about this man who contracted a flesh-eating bacteria and almost died from it, unfortunately it didn't tell me where or how he contracted the flesh eating bacteria. I'm not sure I would know in time that I had a flesh eating bacteria, scary right!?! Have you ever known anyone or heard of anyone Contracting a flesh eating bacteria? +This story makes me sick to my stomach. I hate reading things about where my food comes from. It's bad enough to know that i am eating an animal but to know it suffered makes it worse. While the story is about the the suffering of an animal at the end of it's life it seems to ignore the suffering that the chicken goes through 99.9% of the time it is alive. This kind of story makes me want to go vegan. +I find it really amusing how Zika has been around since 1947 and not much fuss was made about it until it began killing people stateside. As usual, Black bodies are not valued or the conditions surrounding them until the same things begins to plague white people. Zika was minimized and downplayed for over sixty years. That says alot. +This is a very interesting article that focuses on this woman jet pilot, she was one of a kind. her heroic acts were recognized by those who knew her. the author portrays her as a hero and someone who should be remembered. once you finish reading this article you'll understand lots of things you did not before +This is what happens when you take in people from an archaic civilization. All of these refugees need to be throw back into their mud pit. Their religion embraces hatred. Let them figure out how to live in peace in their own countries, then we can allow them into civilized world. Is it is now, I think all of Europe is doomed. +It's so sad to see that world hunger is still such a large issue in other countries, especially when it seems like so much of our food goes to waste. Children passing out in the streets simply because they have no food to eat is heartbreaking. No one should have to suffer simply because they can't afford food. There needs to be another option. +You know I love animals, of all kinds, so let me tell you about. This poor creature was found half dead, mangled beyond belief because of poachers. Hope's story really brings to light the horrible and illegal trade of rhino poaching. I don't know if you know, but some people value rhino horns more than the beautiful creatures they come from. I don't believe the initial attack on Hope was responsible for her death, but it brought this beautiful creature into the spotlight, and I'm very glad for hearing of her story and saddened by her passing. +Erving Goffman, a sociologist and writer, compared how actors withheld their emotions to the everyday individual. Like actors, individuals can control how the emotions are expressed, but they cannot control their inner emotions or feelings. Inner feelings can only be suppressed in order to achieve the expression one wants people to see on the outside. Goffman explains that emotions and emotional experience are an ongoing thing that an individual is consciously and actively working through. Individuals want to conform to society with their inner and outer feelings. +The situation in Yemen with the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthi rebels is one with a lot of controversy, and for good reason. This conflict is rife with airstrikes and drone strikes that drop on civilians and militants alike. Qatar is culpable in the slaughter of citizens, which puts them firmly against the Geneva Conventions. Of course, I do not celebrate the loss of their soldiers' lives, as their families back home are just regular citizens as well in all likelihood. +It really is too bad that this had to happen. The internet will never let them forget. I'm sure the zookeepers feel awful about what has transpired. After all, They are probably all great lovers of animals and you and I know that it is never easy to see a poor animal die. I wonder if there were things to be done that could have prevented this or if I am just thinking with insight. +Did you hear about the airstrikes in Yementi? I can't believe it. i would have been petrified! Forty three people were killed, but could be up to sixty.. The bodies were just laying everywhere.and they were covering them with blankets. This is just one count of those that died. Since the battle has been going on they say over 10,000 people have died from this conflict, many just innocent civilians. I can't imagine being in that situation. +Hello, I feel very bad about Yu's death, she was so young and already a very accomplished person. I do believe she was very aware that her flying career had inherent risks that could ultimately cause her death. It angers and saddens me that people would undermine her role a female fighter pilot by making rude remarks stating there are other more accomplished women flyers. +Hey friend. Did you hear about this weird terrifying story of some british banker who wanted seemed to want to copy the American psycho movie? He murdered two women and if not for them panicking, they would have been tortured. He was a sick depraved individual. I don't know how people like this live in our society. They are all hidden under the surface. +It's good that they didn't have to hurt the emu. Every time I hear about one of these animal escapes I get the feeling that someone is going to end up killing the animal; I expect either an officer with legal authority or some stupid maniac with a gun who wants to kill something exotic is going to end up shooting it. I thought I saw a wild bird like run across the road one morning when I was driving to work. It wasn't big enough to be an emu but it was similar. I was worried that someone was going to kill it, whatever it was. +Have I conveyed my misanthropy fully yet. Read this for a laugh. This is what journalists are doing. We have an orange monkey destroying our nation and people spend time writing about something as meaningless as this. A guy died. Terribly sorry. Happens thousands and thousands times a day. Because this guy was an idiot it gets written up to feed the idiotic interests of the sheep. +Here is an article I just read about an accident at an amusement park in Australia. I've never heard of Dreamworld, have you? But the ride sounds like the old Shoot the Rapids we used to ride on at Cedar Point. In this case, the boat tipped over and people got trapped in the conveyor belt. I can't even imagine what the last moment of those people's lives must have been like. As for the kids who saw it all happen-- there are no words! At least none of the children died in the accident. But now they have lost a parent. One of those kids was just a baby. Now she will never know her mother. I never thought about rides failing when we were kids and used to go to amusement parks, but now I would probably not ride on any of that stuff. +I really think racism is getting out of hand lately. I don't understand why people have to commit hate crimes against people that they aren't similar to. Everyone deserves to live a happy life without being assaulted or worried that they'll be assaulted. And chalking it up to religion is even worse. People don't have to be so easily offended these days, but they are, and they're hate filled while they're offended too. +People are up in arms over Trump not believing in climate change. Withdrawing from the Paris treaty supposedly will contribute to global warming, along with doing away with the clean air act Obama passed while in office. There's so much involved with climate change its hard to tell what is fact. States are taking measures into their own hands to the extent they can I guess. +I don't know who Leon Russell is, but maybe you do? Apparently he passed away in his sleep. I haven't heard of the guy, but he sounded like quite the musician. Anyways, he passed away at 74 years old, which is a long life. The article I read stated he had some health issues, unfortunately. Poor guy. I hope he passed peacefully. +You know I love playing devil's advocate and having random views on things. Well here's another one of my crazy ideas so prepare yourself. I think that the Mayor of Sacramento is blessed that's all that happened to him. Yes he may be upset and a little shaken, but he still gets to go home to his family and enjoy his wealth. He doesn't lose his job and he isn't majorly damaged. I would easily take a pie in the face if afterwards I was a rich white man who still had supporters behind me. +It is a sad world when lives are threatened daily. let's remember when we here in America were fighting each other during the civil war. war is hell whether you are on the "right" side or the "wrong" side. Both sides invariably lose something. Does it make sense to have war? Is it a human condition that we will never be able to contain? I know these are open ended questions but are we like the herds of animals that migrate and take over others' territories when food and water are needed. I believe we can be better by accepting our differences and finding common ground for the welfare of all. +If you hear a ringing in your occasionally, don't be too alarmed. If you hear it persistently for quite some time, I would be slightly worried and definitely more alarmed. This could mean that you eventually lose your hearing. Tinnitus is a common thing to experience and usually is nothing. But sometimes this can be an early sign that you could lose your hearing. I strongly encourage people to go and get this checked if they experience frequently and definitely educate yourself on it. +People who take advantage of and endanger animals are the worst criminals in existence. Animals are defenseless and unable to do anything other than be confined and taken advantage of. This article shows the unfortunate process after animals are confiscated and taken away from these dangerous people, but there is no global consensus on the proper sequence and handling of these animals. +It sounds like someone didn't do their job at all in dealing with this housing complex. It sounds like a horrible situation but not a surprising one in a lot of these countries that lack housing laws and standards and accountability. I really hope they are able to rescue anyone still alive but trapped. On a weird note, what was with the blurb about the chicken? That was random. +I canot believe that there are citizens in this county, particularly in Minnesota, who are vulnerable enough to be manipulated by ISIS to kill individuals in their country. The Somali group in Minnesota has a history (several known cases) of people attempting to commit murder for the terrorist group. Tragically, an Somali man has just gone on a murder spree. He has not been linked to ISIS and his motivations are unclear, but I am disturbed. +I'm glad Germany is trying to help a lot of refugees when other countries (ahem the US) are trying to get out of helping people. However if they're going to have that reputation they need to be prepared to deal with the number of individuals who will try to come. It feels like so many of the problems these refugees are running from have been created at some point due to US/European colonization and intervention, so I'm glad they're at least trying. +I felt extremely bad and horrible for the child that fell down like that. I also felt very sad and disturbed when they found him dead about four days later. The poor child should have been taken care of more and looked after so that nothing would have happened to him then. I think that this whole thing is such a horrible tragedy and that it also could have been prevented as well. +Wow, it is scary to think there are mice that are twice their normal size hunting down and killing birds! It must be one scary place there right now with all that carnage. I hope Keith can make his plan come alive and stop the invasion of the mice. My concern is if they start getting off the island and migrating to other places. I live far away in America, but I sure don't want to run across these giant bird-eating mice. No thanks! +The upsurge in violent deaths is a troubling and terrifying prospect to face, based on the FBI's statistics. It's not a good measure of a society's health to see such dangerous statistics. We need to be doing everything we can to help mitigate this crisis. As for the collision of buses inside the Lincoln Terminal? That was another terrible tragedy which could've been avoided had the proper course of action been taken. +Wow...what a strange turn of events in this story. This guy who just randomly opened fire on a police officer turns out to be responsible for a number of homicides in Alaska. It's crazy to think that if the officers never confronted him for something unrelated, that there could have been countless more killings. +Environmentalism at its core is a racket. The leaders will use whatever methods to tie nature together to guilt you into accepting higher and higher taxes towards cost of living while majority of this money goes towards these non-profit organizations that help them push thier agenda. These environmental groups are only capable of gutting thier own people and will not address the larger oil buyers such as China or any other third world nation that is burning coal. By raising the cost of oil isn't going to stop Saudi Arabia or Russia from pumping oil, its all a racket to control the power supply and tax the people. +Hi, I just read an article about a sue concerning an apartment, and it got me thinking. Why do people never do research before signing any papers? It really is not that big of a deal or a difficult thing to do, this should be something basic to do, you know? It just troubles me how far things can go just because people do not really read! +This article is very, very, eye-opening and interesting to read about the the seven biggest threats that President Trump poses to the environment. I think with President Trump backing out of the Paris Agreement and not really focusing a little bit of more efforts on global warming, there can be a big problem in the future. +The Japanese that made up the restriction stating that you could not apply makeup while on the train are completely out of line. It is not up to them to dictate whether a man or woman can use their commute time to apply makeup. There needs to be mass protests, but we know there will not be as it is not in their nature. +I'm sorry to hear what happened to the people in the pulse shooting. It is not justified to use violence against anyone who has not initiated violence towards you. That being said I understand why the authorities would want to ban people who practice risky lifestyles from donating blood. The last thing we want is to have a blood supply that's contaminated with diseases because of the practices of people who engage in risky lifestyle choices and also sinful ones as well. No violence should never be the answer to people no matter what their lifestyle, But one should never condone something that is bad for society in the long run. +So I just read this article about rappers and music artists having a disagreement. It was pretty stupid too, I don't get why adults are fighting like high school children. It was all over some petty comments made, which apparently turned to racist slurs and got someone thrown out fo a building. Of course, everything is he said she said so I can't tell who was really wrong in this situation. However, again another situation that shows the stupidity of the human race. +This kind of thing happens in North Korea all the time. The country has so little usable farmland, that any weather disruption is a major problem. This is what happened during the Arduous March in the 90s, after Kim Il Sung died. The country had a couple bad years because of drought and then flooding, and suddenly everyone was starving. +KKK is filled with losers. Not sure why they get any attention. Actually, I know exactly why they get attention. It makes Trump look bad. Since that is the goal of the media, they will not pass this chance up. KKK has been irrelevant for decades. This is still the case. Media can make them look relevant, but they are not. +This article is so sad the hatred and anger we have towards one another in America needs to stop. Our children and grandchildren are going to grow up in a horrid place simply because we have people in our country who refuse to let go of the past. The past is in the past so let it stay in the past for crying out loud. +Here's an article about Standing Rock that I thought you would like to read. I think it's a few years old because it says the protests have been going on for five months, and I started following the Standing Rock case A LOT longer than five months ago. Barack Obama was still president then. I am very disappointed in the way he handled it and of course I have zero hope that Trump will do right by Native Americans at Standing Rock or anywhere else. We've had our own pipeline leaks here in Michigan, so the Lakota and Sioux who live in that area are right to be concerned. Even more so, it's their land and they have a right to tell the oil companies NO WAY. +This took place close to where I live so I can honestly say that it alarms me. Its a brutal world where this can happen and its always sad. I noticed the police and courts could have been more involved in preventing this but thats just how many of the violent stories I've been hearing have gone recently. +Well, there was another shooting. This one was in Washington. There is no real motive at this time, but they don't think it was terrorism. Maybe a broken heart? Anyways, it's getting ridiculous how many people are affected with these mass shootings. Just because someone has a grudge or a mental problem. +The article says that-Shannen Doherty Shares Her Cancer Story With Chelsea Handler In Emotional, Tear-Filled Interview — Shannen Doherty recalled what it’s like to be diagnosed with cancer in an emotional new interview with Chelsea Handler. During the sit-down, set to air on Handler’s Netflix show, Chelsea, the actress holds back tears while revealing what she’s learned through her health crisis. “I think what’s beautiful and hard and interesting about cancer is that it tears you down and builds you, and tears you down and builds you,” the Beverly Hills, 90210alum says in the clip. “It remakes you so many different times. The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different. I realize, +After reading this article I realized that our country is getting lazier and lazier. It doesn't surprise me when most Millenials out there feel entitled to everything. People don't think for themselves anymore or work hard for what they want. Not that people lack the intelligence but that they don't use it. They go to college, which is hard work, but then they expect a job to be handed to them. The real world isn't after high school, its after college. +There was this crazy story in the news the other day. Two guys were shot in Pennsylvania. One was shot twice in the stomach and the other was shot in the back. There were no arrests or anything and there was not stated motive. I wonder if it was a random thing or if they were involved with drugs or something? I guess we'll never know... +That's really strange that people would make such a big deal about her being single and running for office. That seems really petty, I wish people would focus all their attention on the real issues when it comes to politics. It seemed like the rules for Moldova didn't consider that a single person might run, I think they should update it. +If this was a hate crime that really sucks. If this was just a bar brawl that ended very badly ... still sucks. I don't understand why the police are being so secretive about things. And this guy's family is clear on the other side of the world probably feeling helpless. The other minorities in the area deserve to know if they need to be worried. Please, cops, release some info. +Another story that I am sending about Janet Reno. Thought she lived a good and long life, I always felt sorry for her and always wondered why she accepted the tough job of Attorney General. I felt sorry since she was often attacked for not only political reasons but her appearance also. She was unattractive and somewhat manly looking and the media used that against her. Made fun of her. This article mentions an encounter with Eleanor Roosevelt and her looks remind me of Janet. So maybe that is why she took the post. Wanted to be like her hero. +Did you hear about the Taliban attack on the German consulate in Afghanistan? If not, they set off a bomb at the gates and then an attack ensued. About 130 people were injured with 6 or so dead. Will that war ever end? An ancient saying says that "all empires end in that area" going back to Alexander the great. The country has never known peace and it's not looking any better. I feel sorry for all the injured, especially the children. I'm not sure the UN is making things any better either... +I'm the last one to want to victim blame anyone. I think as a celebrity you have to be a bit more conscious of your actions. Do I think Kim by posting the pics made someone want to rob her? No, but I think it's probably best to be more modest about what you post. I mean, just for safeties sake. I agree, I'd be scared to post about Tristan's ring too especially since it wasn't so long ago that Kim was robbed. Yes, I'm sure everything is insured, but it's still a scary experience and I'd do everything I could to avoid it. +This poor family lost the father just a short time ago! Now she is sick and suffering. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers in the next few days as they treat her. I hope her family is able to be there with her during this hard time, and that they are able to help her in her recovery. +Just another case of police brutality, not surprising at all This is a massive problem in our country, usually its the black population on the receiving end of it, but it does effect other people as well. When is this going to stop? Seems like it never is going to end, its been going on since the beginning of law enforcement, and will continue. Its shameful +I read an article about the hidden ads in online media and how it may be affecting children. It was about how kids see ads for junk food when they go online. They also spend a lot of time online, especially on YouTube. The videos on there are more influential, since they are real people, and the ads are more convincing. The article made me not want to let the kids watch YouTube or go online, which is really hard to do. I hate that the advertising industry seems to control all of our online media. +It seems that climate change is still a big threat to animals and wildlife, but not necessarily in the ways we would first think of. Climate change can affect the habitats of wild animals and cause them to die from things like lack of water, which is still a big deal. It's not the temperature change necessarily but what happens to things like the habitat. +I don't understand why we continue to fight this battle. People in our military are getting killed.It is not a good sign that anything positive is happening over there. I hate reading about military deaths. It is so sad that people have to go out there and fight. It seems unfair to me that their families at home get to get the phone calls that their love ones have died regardless of the circumstances. We need to do a better job at fighting batters we actually need to fight, vs fighting the battles of others. +Hey, here's another article that I'm sending to you for no good reason, since neither of us are interested in this kind of thing. It looks like more people died for shitty reasons, but maybe some are still alive. And, if there's anything that people love, it's the idea that things can be ok and / or get better. People fucking love this stuff. But, I did think that the bit about a HEN being rescued was out of place. haha. So, what do you think? +That would be a scary situation to live in. It is sad that the people feel like the government cares more about the elephants and animals than the people. These people must learn how to live with the elephants, but it seems like it is a scary thing to do. I would hate to try and live in that situation with children. I also think that anyone who is going to visit there should be made aware of the dangers of the elephants so that they don't get injured or killed like the 29 year old woman did in the article. +I feel very sad for the family of people who have lost their loved ones, especially family members that were so very deeply involved with the community and have touched so many hearts of the people around them as well. I am sure that for a long time, memories and special moments will be told with heart felt warmth for many generations. +I will never empathize or understand racists. Vandalism is the epitome of childish crimes as well. It's the twenty-first century and we still are surrounded by stupid racists. I say stupid because ignorance is simply not having a lack of intelligence or something, but you're still willing to educate yourself or be educated on it. Stupidity is being surrounded by so many outlets, professors, libraries, internet, magazines, and still refusing to learn about those that are different from you. +Hey just wanted to share this article with you and let you know some thoughts/feelings about it. I know that we have talked before about the importance of vaccinations, and if it is safe for kids to get them. I think this story really made me think about that and brought fourth some really interesting facts and data that make you see how it is changing and hurting different parts of the world. I feel that kids should receive these vaccinations as they are a easy way to help and protect people all over the world rather than taking a risk. +I think these people ahve been fighting each other over tribalism and ideology since I can remember. Im talking about Iraq, which is dividing into 3 main groups who have competed for limited resources for a long time. And the wealth of oil taken by the leaders and not shared with prosperity for all people has increased tensions. When I was young it was Iraq Iran War, the Saddam Hussein reign of terror, then the First Gulf War, the the Second Iraq War, then ISIS. THese people have something wrong with them and I think they bear some responsibility for their own suffering. +Read this article, this happened in Georgia where I live so I saw massive amounts of news coverage related to this case. I personally believe that the guy is guilty, there are too many things that he did and said that did not add up.It seems that he wanted to get rid of his kid and leave his wife and live his free lifestyle. I do not see any possible way that he did not know that the kid was in the car. That poor kid! +Those of you who smoke should quit. Once we quit, we're often surprised at the changes in attitude we experience regarding smoking, and life in general. When we quit and win our freedom from addiction, our mindset changes. After I quit I came to realize how much I really don't like it! I think I care more about myself now: My health, I stand up for myself when appropriate, I feel like there are more possibilities out there now without my smoking monkey on my back. +I think there is enough information about the health hazards of smoking for it to be understood why it should be outlawed in most public places. It is something that should be done in the privacy of people's homes, right? It makes sense to me. As for the rest of the information here about food safety, I don't trust most any public food establishment. I've seen too many nasty kitchens and bathrooms to trust a place to be clean when it counts! +Its inspiration and these people are still finding hard to donate blood to the victims despite the archaic rules regarding blood donations. The odds of HIV infection are so low that these blood donation laws need to be rolled back, like in Argentina. In the short term though, a way to help would be organizing a blood drive so those victims will get all the blood they need. +are you looking for an informative, creative and interesting article to read? Just for fun or educational purposes? then this the article for you. this article is really interesting. the author explains things in away that anyone can understand them. the author's use of language is genius and very interesting +It is horrible that things like this are still happening in the gulf of mexico and espesically since it is a priest. The cartels are doing horrible things that need to be controlled. It seems like the Mexican government can not do anything about it. Maybe there are some members in the government creating the problem +i and my friend always remain together. he has done a lot of help for me. he has been very hard for some time to help me with money. but he did not expect me anything.he is one of my family. he has great affection for me.he and i have come together in the school season.from that day he and i were not separated. +Just read an article about the situation in Haiti a month after the hurricane. Relief is being distributed better than after the last hurricane since the capital city was less affected and learnings from the previous situation were used to make some improvements. But getting food and water purification tablets distributed, and fairly, is a big problem. People are crazed with hunger and become violent, or give in to despair. Cholera is revving up. These are the immediate problems, but shelter, long-term rebuilding, voting in the upcoming election, and other issues lurk too. Somehow we have to figure out better relief efforts for natural disasters. +This guy got fucked. It sucks for him, but there’s nothing you can really do about these things, besides deal with it. There’s always going to be inefficiency and points of failure in any bureaucratic system right? Maybe the cops will get their shit together and sort it out for him, before he has to jump through all the bureaucratic hoops because of their initial mistake. +So today i read about Vaughn, an actor I didn't really know his name but have watched or heard most of the shows and movies he has been in. Today, i heard, he died at age 83 due to lukemia. IT is very sad to lose such a well respected actor. I guess his parents divorced at a young age but both gave him the genes to act. +This will embolden Trump supporters stance on immigration reform. I however do not believe just cause you are Muslim or an immigrant you are more prone to committing a terror attack. Attacks of terror and mass shooting are mostly causes by angry white men. When It's a white man hes a lone wolf and when your from a foreign country its terrorism. I am not making excuses for what happened. Surly its tragic but lets not pool a whole race of people into a negative basket because of one or two bad eggs. +It is really sad how many millions of people are led astray from the truth of the Bible. When people are exposed to hatred all their lives, it's very easy for them to become extremists. This suicide bomber in Pakistan is one of the sickest out there. People with no fear of death and who think they're actually going to be rewarded in the afterlife for killing innocent people? How stupid! +Wow, I feel really bad for the parishioners of the church that got burned down. At least nobody was injured. On the one hand, it's crazy that people would do this, but on the other hand, I'm not exactly surprised. Trump has been inciting racial hatred and tearing down standards of decent behaviour since before the beginning of his campaign. Let's hope he loses in November and we can file this away as a disgraceful moment in American history, nothing more. +Now this is a major issue: "Why Do Obese Patients Get Worse Care? Many Doctors Don’t See Past the Fat — You must lose weight, a doctor told Sarah Bramblette, advising a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet. But Ms. Bramblette had a basic question: How much do I weigh? The doctor’s scale went up to 350 pounds, and she was heavier than that. If she did not know the number, how would she know if the diet was working?" A populace that is so uneducated on health and nutrition that they don't know that it's mathematically impossible not to lose weight at over 350 pounds on a 1200 calorie a day diet. What's worse is a doctor who is so incompetent that he can't tell her that. If your clothes get bigger you are losing weight. +Aww man, I hate to see this. This kind of story makes me so sad for the families who are just waiting for their family members to come home. I worry about this kind of thing when my husband is making his 2 hour commute to and from work or when my sister and her husband take the train to NYC. You just never know. I feel so bad for those families right now. +I think the process of dying can contain various levels of trauma. Some people die with less pain, and we tend to call them lucky. I tend to think the body inflicts various levels of physical and psychological pain over the often somewhat lengthy process of dying. One type of emotion I can partly relate to is the idea that the party (life) keeps going on, but you have to leave. The idea of no longer consuming new information or experiences. The process of dying inflicts bad emotions on me, but thinking about being dead does not inflict many emotions on me. I feel neutral or calm about the idea, and I see no rational reason for worrying about it. +There have just been so many different tragedies involving the sinking of migrant boats that the people who live in Western countries have become immunized to the images. I just wonder how people so close by in European countries can have an anti-refugee position (though they call them migrants) when the evidence of tragedy is before them every year since the Syrian war heated up. I think it is really just crazy. +Ugh, I just read an article about our disgusting president and the way women are reacting to these rumors, allegations and truths made about this man and his inexcusable treatment of women in the past. And, that's just it, who is stupid enough to think his behavior is only in the past and is not still occurring today behind closed doors!? I am sure it is only a matter of time before that also comes out. The more and more I read about him, the more and more disturbed I am to have him as a president and wish I did not live in a country where that animal is calling the shots. The article was talking about women, especially Republican women, starting to pull away from their candidate and losing their warm and fuzzy feelings towards Trump. About time! +Poor people, I feel bad for the family they left behind and for their friends and family, my deepest condolences to their relatives. It was an accident and there was nothing that could be done to preven it, but I hope this serves as lesson to other to be more careful while engaging in that kind of activities. +This is just more violent nonsense from the outrageous middle east. Honestly, I dont care any longer. All these people clutching to one religion or another (often just as a mask for their rage) and killing each other out of tribal animus. It hasnt changed, well, ever. I dont expect it to change now. Its hopeless because people are just ignorant, solipsistic apes. I just cant care any longer about these idiots. Its horrible and tragic but it's all so preventable. +Even though fewer people are crossing this year than in 2015, more people are dying as they try to make the journey.Bodies of migrants in a boat off the coast of Libya in October. At least 29 people died in the incident, all in their 20s.One person out of every 88 has been lost at sea trying to reach the shores of Greece, Italy or Spain. That means they're 90 times more likely to die on the journey than an American is likely to die of gunshot wounds. +Aw, look, I didn't know Pete Burns died. I'm glad he was happy with all his surgeries and his life, even if I wasn't. He was so hot before he did all that, man. Gorgeous voice. Why are all the pretty ones so often the wrong kind of crazy? Now I have to go listen to that song, or it's going to be stuck in my head all day. +Here is an article that pretty much sums up what most people already know about Donald Trump and his campaign platform. This is highlights some of the main points, including his stances on immigration, abortion rights, gun rights, Comey, the Clintons, and a variety of other topics. It's a good refresher. +This is the kind of stuff that happens all over and is always underreported because the perpetrators of such sexual harassment and assaults are protected by their power in society and other powerful people. It was long just an unspoken or open secret that everyone basically knew, but it's good that it's finally coming to light with people willing to speak up, especially the victims. If they didn't speak up, people would go on thinking that this kind of stuff only happens in TV and movies. Art imitates life, and vice versa. +of the 5000 rhinoceroses that remain free in the world have just killed one more. poachers do not respect endangered species. This enrages me and I try to hunt them. the 18-year-old rhinoceros left her baby orphaned. I really hope that stronger measures will be taken for the protection of these species and that their extinction will be avoided. +There are a lot of things in this article that I don't agree with. I don't think that being gay is a mental problem, but I do believe that it is a sin. The only way for people to stop committing this sin is for God to work in their lives. I don't know a lot about conversion therapy, but i'm not so sure that this is the way to go. I also don't believe that trump is anti gay. He hasn't done anything that would make him anti gay. +Michael Moore did it again! The man might not be much to look at, but he continually nails liberals social values with an iron fist. This time it was him predicting Trump's victory in a film, but what next? He is serving as a light post for liberals, trying to wake them up that aspects of the Democratic party are out of tune with the greater American people, but will they listen? Trump won for many reasons, and while he encourages liberals to tell their conservative friends Hillary "won the popular vote," What good will that even do? The time for liberals to get better in-tune with the needs of the greater american conservative public has long since passed... +Salley Jessy Raphael was on the show "Where are they now" with Oprah, she claims she was betrayed by her producers. I remember watching her show in the 80's and 90's. It had become a show like Jerry Springer and she claims she wishes she had spoken up about the direction the show was going. She felt like her staff of 250 people thought she knew the show was going to be canceled in 2002 but she did not know anything about it. She was a strong personality and I think if she wanted to change the direction of the show she could have. Hindsight is twenty-twenty. +Arnold Palmer was really a great and ambitious guy, he really did a momunmental change onnhow today's televesion sports work, and the fact that he died was pretty sadddning to me. I think that the legacy he left behind is amazing, and he will continue to influence us even after his death. I would love to see Arnold Palmer's compnay thrive tremendously over the next couple of decades, and continue to transpire within the people he has influenced in his life. +I can sympathize with what these parents must be feeling. Not because I have raised a pre-teen, but because I can vividly remember that time in my life. Middle school is hard, ugly, and scary. I remember being bullied by girls that I idolized. I was fortunate to have a mother who was very caring and easy to talk to. She sympathized with me without making me feel like a small child who needed my parents to win my battles for me. She would say "That's awful, honey. Now, what are you going to do about it?" +The wildfire burned the field more than 13,300 acres. This is the 75% of agricultural land. The farmers was very sad about the wildfire. Their lands are damaged very highly due to the wildfire. The emergency fire safety team save the 25% of land from the wildfire. This could be very helpful to the farmers. Although, they loss the 75% agricultural land. Even they are did not plant any plants from the burned agricultural land. +Hi friend, I saw this article the other day, and I'm really upset by the behavior of the poachers. They had absolutely no reason to attack this guy. I would like to see the villagers fairly punished for their terrible behavior. Can you give me a hand and pass this along to everybody on your friends list? I know it isn't much, but I think that if we work really hard together, we might be able to get enough support to make sure that the poachers are punished. At any rate, we should at least try to raise the money to help this injured guy. +Hello, dear group. Let's trust in the laws of our country and in truly just judgments. Hopefully the murderer accused of five counts of murder will not be free and quiet in the streets of this country. I hope that justice can compensate a little to the relatives of the victim. After a 24-hour chase the police found the criminal and even though the victims have not been recognized, they will soon discover who they are. +I never knew that bananas were at risk of becoming extinct. Apparently we need to cultivate more varieties, so we do not face another crisis like Cavendish and Big Mike bananas that have succumbed to a fungal disease and almost got wiped out. We are so used to seeing bananas as a common fruit at supermarkets that we never think of not ever eating another one again! I found this article very intriguing, there is so much work that goes into figuring out how to protect this yellow fruit from fungal illnesses and make it more resistant to various dangerous fungal strains.Apparently this presents a great challenge for the scientists but they are hoping to cultivate more banana plant varieties that will be more resistant to various illness. +Wow.. di you see this? Delicia Taylor is suing the makers of this product.. Soft Sheen Carson Optimum Amly Legend No Mix, No Lye Relaxer. She has bald spots, Burns, blisters and pain from using this. Do you know anyone who uses this? If you do have them check out this link. The law suit is for 5 million dollars.. maybe they can get some money.. I think it's terrible that this product was allowed to be sold. It is awful when someone thinks something would make them look nice but instead ends up damaging them for life. Be sure to check the article out.. I think there are some pictures out there too. Brace yourself before you look at them. +Did you hear about the shipwreck in Egypt? Unfortunately it looks like fifty five people have died. It's such a sad story. I feel so bad for the families and that has to be a odd feeling for the 150 or so that survived. So many people swam to save their lives. I would never be able to do that! There were also children on the boat, so that is incredibly sad. I hate that people died and had no chance of survival. +I think it's unfortunate that people are targetting children to join their terrorist communities. It's sad because all these kids have a future but they get wrapped up in this brainwashing stuff. And then people are perfectly fine pinning it on an entire community and that's not fair becuase it really had nothing to do with the community itself and was more of an individuals decision +The Flint, Michigan water crisis is out of control. It seems like there isn't much being done to help them get cleaner water. We need to do everything we can to help them. Children are being hospitalized because of the cities incompetence. No one should have to go without clean water, and because we live in the United States, it's especially true. +You know one thing late Thursday that the Islamic State used a rocket containing mustard gas against U.S. troops in Iraq. The general was addressing leaked news reports that investigators had found a black oily substance on a rocket that landed near the perimeter of the base. Dunford told the committee that investigators had assessed the liquid and found “it to be a sulfur-mustard blister agent.” The news is concerning because this is the first time a chemical weapon has been used against U.S. officials said the Islamic State was using to produce mustard agent and other chemicals for military use. No soldiers were injured in the attack, nor have any shown symptoms of exposure to mustard gas, a weapon banned by the 1925 Geneva protocol after the horrors of World War I. +I don't know about Bayh. I kind of wish he hadn't run again; I'm glad he's not trying again this time. After reading this story, it's hard to feel sympathetic, even in retrospect. But the story confuses me, too. Didn't Bayh used to work for Fox News after he quit the Senate? The story doesn't even mention that. And it talks about how he was working for the banks but also embraced Obama's position on banks, which seem like mutually exclusive things. He didn't do anything great in the Senate, but when he was governor, he saved that lady's daughter's college career. It's all very confusing, but overall, I'm glad he's staying gone. +I don't really like coconuts, I think everyone knows that, but I still think that they play a huge role in our ecosystem. I don't know a lot about coconuts or what role they play in the environment, but they're really important for a lot of economies where they are grown. I think that the article brings up a good point by saying that major companies that sell coconut water should be the ones trying to look for a solution because they are being oversourced due to high demand for their products, so I think that they have a lot of responsibility to try to be the ones to fix this dilemma and solve this coconut crisis. It just makes me worried about the environment overall because I really worry about global warming and I just really worry about the environment in general. +Megyn Kelly during an interview, repeatedly shaking his finger at her and accusing her of being “fascinated with sex” because she brought up allegations of sexual assault against Trump. In a scolding tone, Gingrich tried to tell Kelly which words she could or could not use. Gingrich once had a fascination of his own with Bill Clinton’s sex life, as he was a driving force behind the movement to impeach Clinton following a consensual sexual relationship he had with a young former intern. Clinton became the second president in American history to be impeached by the House, but he was acquitted by the Senate. Voters, meanwhile, punished the Republicans for what they saw as an overreach: The GOP lost five House seats in the 1998 midterm elections, which led to Gingrich’s resignation as speaker. +This sort of story is showing up far too much in the news anymore. It shows a deepening divide of racial tensions in America, which is something I thought we had finally put behind us. That being said, I mean that the racial tension is coming from BOTH sides, not just one side or the other. BOTH sides need to be held accountable for their actions and the divide they are creating in this country. +Sadly this has become common in our society. Blacks are killed by police, and nothing seems to make a difference or matter. I can guarantee that if it was a black cop killing a while person, the outcomes would be entirely different. I dont blame the black community for their anger and dissapointment. I'm angry and dissapointed I cant imagine how they must feel. +I'm saddened to hear the news about his passing. In my experience I believe that comedians get into the field due to an aspect of the desire to help people and give them a few laughs. Don't think I recall his comedy acts but reading through the tributes I get the sense that people liked him alright and that he was a good guy. His tagline is great - "that's not right." As if he internalized a solid sense of right and wrong. So I didn't know his work but I think I like him. +An endangered species of polar bears have seen an increase in the number of them killed by visitors, or hunters. Look at how the people are apparently organizing against the threat to these wonderful, and endangered creatures. I'm not sure if they can turn the tide, there are a lot of bad people out there who hunt for sport, but they can surely slow it down, and that's a good thing. I hope their efforts are strong enough that this wonderful species can be preserved, intact, in their natural habitat. +Lockets with blood? Dang, that is kind of creepy and weird guys, but oh well, they were in love. People do crazy things when they are in love. Now, the fact that this guy never felt enough indicates auto esteem issues, she is not God, dude. I still can not believe Brangelina is over, they were end game to me, but oh well, guess you can not force things. +I just read an article about numerous female athletes that of taking the world by storm. I love hearing about female athletes, however it was frustrating to read an article with so many typos, miss spellings, errors and words that didn’t make sense put together. The article was clearly not proof read before being published where I read it. For such an important topic, proofreading would have been easy. +I think that this is a kind of funny story. I enjoy hearing about escaped animals from the zoo for some reason. If you think about it the zoo is just one big animal jail. I am sure that I would resent the fact of being locked up if I was a wild animal. Some of these animals have never known the difference. +A little animal called the vaquita is an endangered species. Efforts are being made to save the species but many conservation groups do not think these efforts will be successful. They call it "quick fix" intervention. Usually, when efforts are made to conserve a species, the efforts are unsuccessful. Apparently these animals are small porpoises which get trapped in nets. +It is just so messed up that there are so many places in the world without easy access to clean water. The answer is never to privatize or "modernize" the water system of a place, as that is really just an excuse to implement political policies. It is just bizarre that our modern water systems in urban areas are so woefully lacking. Even desert areas of India get enough rainfall each year that a simple catchment system would solve all of a community's problems. +This is a bizarre story. A man bashed a turtles head with a hammer in self defense. He is being held on 5000 bail. The only part of the story I find interesting is that the man dragged the turtle into the middle of the road and left it there. I'm not sure I believe the man. Claiming self defense against a turtle seems crazy. I think the man could of just left the turtle alone and not of been in this situation to begin with. +I think what the father did was a noble gesture. Sometimes justice isn't always served in jail. I think it is a shame that he is being punished for what he did. What is more important however is that the father got his revenge. Sometimes it is necessary to take justice in your own hands. I applaud the father for what he did. +It is extremely upsetting that there is a cultural war going on and no one seems to care. The values of muslims in general are not compatible with western culture. Further more, it is an ideology that promotes violence and terrorism. Until people become less tolerant of this disgusting dogma, things like this will continue to happen. If muslims want to be viewed in a better light in the west, they need to work on reforming their religion from within. +Climate change isn't just about affect the weather negatively for future generations. It apparently will also affect food sources. We may be able to overcome this with our technology and science but will our food turn into frankenfood that could potentially have long term side effects that cannot be seen yet? Underdeveloped countries are especially going to be affected by diminishing crops due to climate change. +I thank God because my sisters were born in USA instead of those countries in the middle east who still believe in male guardianship.Can you imagine a woman seeking permission fro a male figure who is a relative and sometimes a son to acquire a passport?that is so bad.I hope the activists will succeed in helping this women because this is so outrageous. +I'm not a fan of Muslim migrants myself. I find most of Arab culture backwards and antithetical to American values. This is pretty fucked up, though. This article feels like something out of the 1960s. Makes you consider the cyclical and incremental nature of human history. Despite our technological advances we fall prey to the same prejudices and biases again and again. Before we were burning Native Americans, then the Irish, then Blacks, and now Muslims. Human progress at work. +Hey just wanted to write you a note and see if you have been watching the news. They are reporting finding a mass grave near mosul of 100 dead bodies most of them decapitated and some thirty three thousand people that is displaced . that is terrible. We need to do something. The US is setting up service centers families which is a great idea. +The US has done some super shady things. How we treated these people is horrible, and I'm not sure whether I'm more upset or just feel bad for the Americans who went along with it. It sort of reminds me of the SS officers during WWII- like at some point it seems like they all realized what they were doing wasn't kosher and definitely crossing ethical boundaries. Yet they all continued because .... why? I know the whole thing about the military is going along and just obeying orders but what was going on there was seriously seriously messed up. +Reading this article makes me feel sad for many reason. I myself have no idea why those countries are always at war and why so many people are loosing their lives. It also makes me sad to imagine myself in a situation where I am constantly in fear of my life. With so many being lost already it makes me sad to think about these things continually happening. +These people are dumb for voting for him. They can't even tell that he's exploiting their feelings and has no intentions to helping them. He's just taking advantage of the situation for his own gain. They'll find out soon and they'll be the ones who end up suffering most from this. I don't really have too much sympathy for them. +I'm always upset to hear about violence erupting as a result of lives lost due to police action. I believe most police officers are good people, but there is a pervasive issue of racism ingrained in many police departments. The protests were certainly justified. Police should be subjected to psychological testing to determine whether they have an inclination toward racism. Those that do need to be removed from active duty immediately. +You should check out this article. As I was reading I was happy that the injuries were not worse tha n they were. Could you imagine being in any sort of situation like this? It makes me feel bad for people with children, could you imagine letting you r children leave every day and not knowing what could happen to them? +The liberal left has struck again. They continue to react negatively to Trump being president even 18 months after the election. This whole thing about getting an IUD now because Trump will make birth control unaffordable in the near future is ridiculous. Just another issue to get people stirred up. Most Trump supporters are conservative when it comes to economic issues but moderately liberal when it concerns social issues. Big changes in birth control, same sex marriages, abortion, and women’s rights are not going to happen. I would like to ask the haters how their lives have changed for the worse since the election! +Hi, I have learned that Syria’s war escalated abruptly on Friday. Government forces and their Russian allies launched ferocious aerial assaults on Aleppo. Repeated airstrikes destroyed buildings and engulfed neighborhoods, and flames killed about 100 people there. What is gained with this senseless violence? +I knew trump really doesnt' believe fully in the climate change and that it's caused my human actions. I think he's putting this topic on the back burner since there are more important things to concentrate. I have to say I agree with him but at some point during his presidency, it should be looked at and see what kind of changes, if any need to take place, and then make them happen +I hope everyone is ok. I was in a small earthquake and it was extremely scary. A lot of people can die if you don't have safe buildings. I think there should be a major international effort to provide guidance for any nations in an earthquake prone region so that we can do a little bit to prevent more deaths when the earthquakes inevitably hit. +Well, this is frustrating. Not only will the new law not really help, but it doesn't sound like anything will help. It's a good point, about having to get the fishers on board with saving the paquita, but I don't know how to convince them. If it came down to feeding my family or saving a handful of dolphins that are probably going to die out anyway, there's a good chance I'd pick my family. The story's a year or two old -- so once I've finished doing what I'm doing, I'm going to look up the paquita and see what's happened since then. +Hello there. So I just read this disturbing story about a teacher who is involved in child pornography. He is now going to face courts for such a disgusting habit. I think this teacher should really be punished exemplarily so that even those who were thinking of doing it can take notice. This is totally unacceptable in our education system +It's amazing how much destruction two large warring nations can do to such a smaller nation. The Middle East was never in a position of power, they have been fighting for a millenia, but the destruction is much greater now, there has never been weaponry so large and crushing to such a small state nation. It's unbelievable that an entire generation of culture will be separated from their families and can only take what they have learned so far. +Hey, did you read this article? I feel really bad for all who are dealing with these extreme weather crisis. Fires, floods, extreme heat is all getting out of hand and I am praying for everyone who has bee and will be harmed. I pray for a solution. There has to be something that can be done about this, right? +It is very upsetting to hear about a family losing their children in such a freak accident way. As a parent myself I can only imagine the horrible feelings that this family is going through and how everyone must be feeling right now to lose these little girls as such a young age. No one should have to bury their own children, it is just terrible. +More toddlers and preschoolers are overdosing on opioids — In recent years, rates of toddlers and preschoolers hospitalized for opioid overdoses more than doubled, according to a new study. In fact, overdoses rose more than 100% over a 16-year period among all children, the study published in JAMA Pediatrics Oct. 31 showed. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine analyzed national data from the Kids’ Inpatient Database on children admitted to U.S. hospitals for opioid poisoning. The study focused on more than 13,000 records from patients ages 1 to 19 between 1997 to 2012. What's to blame? Possibly the increase of prescribed pain killers, including OxyContin and Vicodin. Research from 1999 to 2010 show retail sales of prescription opioids quadrupled."Even in children younger than 6 years, +Here is an article for you. It's an old one, obviously. I am so sick of Republicans. They are a cowardly, spineless bunch who fall in line behind Trump every time. Let's hope they get a major butt whooping in November. But this article demonstrates how we can't take anything for granted. I remember back then, when all the polls showing wins for Hillary and the Democrats. I haven't trusted the polls since then, and I know you don't trust them either. And who knows what the Russians are going to do this time around? No one has tried to stop them, so why wouldn't they try to interfere in our elections again? We have to keep an eye out and do whatever we can to make sure there's no funny business at the polls in November. +I just read an article about elephants and how they are becoming extinct due to people being more concerned towards their need fr ivory than they are for the precious lives of elephants. I don't understand why people have such little regards for the well being of the elephant species, knowing that they are on the verge of extinction and it upsets me severerly knowing that we are taking them for granted. +Poor orangutan. I hope her treatment is successful and she is able to return to living in the wild, or at least in a zoo. You hear a lot of stories these days about illegal animal trading. Humans need to learn that wild animals are not there for our entertainment and should be kept in their habitats. +I would give these people a life sentence in prison. People who steal from the less fortunate and exploit resources and innocents have no place in our society! They stole from pensioners and investors and blew millions on luxuries and other forms of pleasurable experiences at the expense of people, causing suffering and pain! They should be punished accordingly, a dark cell with a toilet and a meal of prison mush twice a day would serve them just right. It's a typical story about wealthy and elite out there, who always harm the innocents and somehow able to get away and proven "innocent". I would especially show no mercy when it comes to these greedy bankers all over the world. There is absolutely no excuse for their crimes-so much poverty and grief all over the world! +Imagine the excitement of going to a concert and the buildup for days after buying tickets. Imagine that you finally get to see these bands play and all of the sudden you hear gunshots ring out. You see people falling down, dead. How are you supposed to cope with that? How can you get up the next day and feel that this is a world worth living in? +Other story similar to the local news about the killing of a woman I know in town. It always makes me think of the children first. It also makes me wonder how a person could commit such atrocities, especially in front of children. The child that called 911 will no doubt mentally live with that phone call for the rest of their life. Article seem to have been murder, and a middle class home, maybe drug use or robbery gone wrong? What is wrong with the world today? I will certainly hug my children tighter tonight after reading all these articles about murder, grieving children, deaths, worldly disasters and sadness. The world is such an interesting, wonderful yet sad place all at once. I will also say a prayer for those kids and pray and be thankful for mine. +I found this article that was really sad about these divers that they found dead in a Florida cave system. It was so sad. I was really depressed after reading it. Perhaps they shouldn't have gone so far down because there was a sign saying not to, but still, it was very sad that they died. They were experienced and should have survived, but they didn't. I really feel sorry for their friends and family. They will be dearly missed. Please pray for them and their families. +The problem of poaching has become such an epidemic guides in South Africa who use to take hunters on big game safari's are now becoming a different kind of hunter themselves. They've taken up arms in the war on poaching due to the fact it is an outrageous epidemic at this point. Animals like the rhino are on the brink of extinction and poachers don't care. +Yet another reason to have more strict immigration rules. These people know the dangers that they face when they do this, so it is hard to feel very sorry for them. I don't think giving them more information on these dangers will stop them, but patrolling the waters and turning these human traffickers back will. If it is made difficult for these human traffickers to exploit these people, it will happen less often. +I don't know much about cricket but apparently in England it's a very big deal! This one town's team is under the gun to win the championship and needs only 33 more points to pull it off. Can you imagine the pressure of the coach and players??? That must be some fierce competition over there. I wonder if they have as big of a fan base as most of our sports do here in the states? +I feel like Aleppo is a legit war zone right now. You can get killed anywhere at anytime. I feel so sorry about the innocent families and children that are involved and would like other nations to at least help Syria and other Middle Eastern Countries and accept refugees. The thought of losing your child or someone in your family is really disturbing. +The shark attack described was distressing. I'm glad to know that the victim is okay. There is something about shark attacks that seems so unexpected and primal...really frightening. At the same time I can appreciate how people want to protect the natural wildlife in the area. Its a tough call. I know the measures they take will never be perfect. I guess I'm on the fence about what they're doing to protect the sharks. +The war in Syria is one in which the US needs to get out of. We have no reason to be involved there, and staying involved will just risk the war expanding and making the region worse off. We need to get out, like, yesterday. Also, we are wasting billions on this that could be used for universal healthcare and increasing the minimum wage. +Our system has failed us once again and continues to fail us daily. The idea that a foster care system allows for brothers to be split apart that came in together in insane. It's strange to me that we treat human life as if it is less than important. I wish that people would wake up from the old-world ideals and behavior. Thanks to the 20th century and the advent of film as a story-telling mechanic, we have the ability to be able to share stories with each other on a bigger level. I can't believe that it's 2018 and we still operate as if it's 1400 a.d. I am disgusted by our modern culture and our governmental system. It's all a sham. We are slaves. +The article I read was about the disparity in responsibility for birth control between men and women. A new male birth control was rejected as having too many side effects on men, when options available to women have far more and more severe side effects. The article mentioned that birth control for women revolutionized lives so much that the side effects were deemed acceptable, but men are not accustomed to ceding convenience for responsibility, are used to women taking control in this area. +this article about people targeting muslims is sickening. One lady's clothes were set on fire! Who does that?! Another lady was with her 15 month old child and was punched in the face :( It makes me so sick that hate going on in todays world. I understand that there are terrorists and some are muslims. But that does not mean we should say that every muslim should pay the price. +This is absolutely awful. I can't even imagine the amount of pain the victim had. The only suspected motive was after Comunale rejected the sexual advances of one of the men inside the apartment? Really? That's not a good reason at all to kill someone. How dare he. What a tragic story this is, and it makes me heart churn just trying to think of the robbed life that was taken. +I think most people would be disturbed about how animals are treated before they are slaughtered and used for meat. I feel like aside from clearly inhumane treatment, it should be expected that killing an animal for food isn't exactly going to be the most pleasant process for the creature. I'm not particularly surprised that the method of stunning chickens has a failure rate. +Wow, this is terrible! I know a lot of you use L'Oreal products. You should read this. It has to do with a woman getting awful burns from using their products. She's going to sue the company. I think we should support her. No company should get away with this. It's a horrible reaction and it's just plain terrible what she has to go through. +I'm not sure what can be done but global warming is affecting us in many other areas then the ones we have seen and heard. Did you know our coffee crops are in danger of being wiped out? That's right, I just read this article detailing the struggles currently going on with coffee crop farmers. There is an intense struggle at the moment for them to maintain their crops and to keep them going. The warm temperatures have really threw a wrench into their day to day operations and maintaining the coffee crops has become quite a challenge. We are in danger of either paying really high prices on coffee or worse case scenario being without coffee period. This is very distressing for me. Can you imagine not having our cup of coffee daily to get us through the days? This is truly tragic. +It's ridiculous that those talk shows of daytime tv moved on to be more like soap opera's. They could have done alot of good for their fans, but then it just became more of a cheap laugh. The people that lost their jobs on Sally Jesse Raphael had families they supported. After being told the show would be renewed, it was a harsh blow to find out that wasn't the case. I feel for those that were put out of work. +Ugh. That's rough. I feel so bad for that little girl and she deserves to live in a world where justice is made, but that eye-for-an-eye type justice is so medieval. The guy obviously deserves a very harsh punishment, but this is barbaric. This is the difference between revenge and justice. A 20-year prison sentence makes so much more sense than blinding. +We need to destroy the system that allows these things to happen. Capitalism that reinforces these disgusting habits must be destroyed utterly and the Christian religion should be wiped out in its entirety. There is no excuse for this kind of repulsive behavior that drives people to abuse these children. +I don't know why is that the people was injured. But what a horrible new, I know that this kind of incidents perturb a lot to the citizen of that country. Powerful nations need to create associations to defend those countries that suffer from the injustice. Some countries around have leaders that abuse from their people. This kind of situations must be investigated and punished by an international organism. +I just read an article on how many civilians are killed by airstrikes by NATO forces. This is a major issue because the mainstream media never report these stories. The media only paints NATO as the good guys and never in a bad light. They can commit acts that can be deemed a war crime but as long as they are the authority they do not need to be accounted for. +I always feel soft hearted when I read about the holocaust. To imagine going through that experience and just knowing that there are people that evil makes me angry and sad. But to see people try to make something positive out of something so negative makes me happy. Also I feel that it's so great to remember those who died without ever living their lives. +I think that this is really sad. It seems to be something that is ingrained in all humans. I am thankful that it mostly just effects children, but it seems kind of hopeless that we will ever fully solve this problem. I think the only real way is for adults to be consistently vigilant and make sure that we are not ignoring the kids that this is effecting. +As someone who works in healthcare I have not encountered THIS type of thing yet, but everyone has an embarrassing story and while the ER may have not seen the exact same thing, they've likely seen crazier, just own it and GO IN. you can always tell people about your own embarrassing experience in third person, much better than losing a limb, organ or your life. +It's about time somebody stood up to Mexico. We are being flooded with mexicans and immigrants flooding over the border. It's an invasion as far as I'm concerned. I could go into detail about all the negatives it causes. But what I am sick of is every time we want to do something about it, all the naysayers and doomsdayers through NAFTA and Trade and economics in our face. I get it we made some dumb deals in the past that have lead to bad consequences, but we elected Trump to take a new direction. Mexico will have to get their act together too, I'm sick of them acting like saints everytime we want to take an action. +‘Silicon Valley’ stars recount being harassed by Donald Trump supporters — “Silicon Valley” stars Kumail Nanjiani and Thomas Middleditch both took to Twitter Saturday morning to recount their experience being harassed by two Donald Trump supporters in a Los Angeles bar. “Was at a bar last night with @Middleditch. At the end of the night, 2 white dudes, 20’s, who’d been there for hours came up to us,” Nanjiani began, adding that they said they were fans, but thought they were “wrong about Trump.” “I go ‘Hey we don’t wanna discuss politics right now.’ His friends goes ‘oh they’re cucks.’ +People are still talking about Hillary Clinton....which is sooooooooo old news...she lost fair and square and people just need to get over it.......She lost to Trump, which means we definitely didn't want her as our president. She and everyone else needs to stop blaming everything and everyone else.........Lets all just do each other a favor and just pretend she never happened and just let her retire in silence. +And another shooting of a black man by a cop. While most of the time, I feel that the shooting is justified, with the evidence presented, I definitely think this needs to go to a jury for a decision. I agree that she should have been trained for this scenario, but no one knows exactly what their emotions will be in a situation like this one. It was a domestic violence call, which are extremely dangerous for police officers. But I don't understand why less than lethal methods weren't deployed first. +I think it's hard to determine things like this unless the entire program in each community is being monitored. If not, the money spent versus the number of children being taught or learning from this process is hard to determine. I do think that connecting the schools is important though and that children should be learning computers, but by the time they're in the workplace, the jobs may have changed. +This is just disgusting. I cannot believe that this is happening to people. Why are people afraid to go to the doctor? there is no reason for this. I am numb to all this madness and I cannot believe I am writing about a man's penis right now. I cannot find any excuse for this and people need to be educated about the healthcare system so they are not so afraid of it. +Hey, I saw your post about people harming the environment and I definitely agree with you. Just take a look at this article - it talks about how foods are being wasted and it can potentially harm the environment. Since so many people do not care about the environment or do not know the effects of harming the environment, how about you and see set up some program that would help improve the environment? +An animal center did not take care of animals properly. There was complaints by an employee about horrid conditions that the owner did not do anything about. Animal centers are not regulated so the owners do whatever they want without consequences. Dogs died of heat exhaustion because they were not supervised and did not have proper ventalation in a room known to get vey hot. +Trump is president get over it snowflakes. People still complaining about him being president need to shut the fuck up and just accept it like a big boy or girl. Things happen and there isnt anything they can do about it. All i see are big ass babies that need something to whine about . Forming lines across roads interferring with peoples lives is just childish and people need to grow up and take off those damn diapers +I really liked this guys music. It's hard to feel too sad though. He lived a full and excellent life. His music will live on for generations and there is every bit of the chance that he will never be forgotten. It is not bad to live to 80. many others live far shorter lives and some peoples existence seems as meaningless as a fart in the wind. +I felt very bad when read these kinds of news. For me, it is vital to protect women and kids. I think they are vulnerable than men. The society should give more protect to them. I really feel pity for the girls who had suffering like that. I hate those bad people that did all these crimes. They should be punished. +Kind of cool that researchers have found that bonobos tend to become farsighted as they age, which is quite similar to humans. They also observed their grooming practices. Some even take turns grooming one another, which is pretty cool. The article was extremely hard to read and understand, especially with it being written in one giant block, so those are really the only key points I got from it. +This article held some very valid views that I have been trying to explain for years. The hypocrisy that America generates is overwhelming and others can see this too. We are holding ourselves so high up as a free country meanwhile a black man can not even get pulled over without having a white man pulling a gun on him. +This area has been devastated by natural disasters and it appears to only be getting worse. I can't believe the amount of disasters that appear to be concentrated in one place, and the resilience that the citizens have shown to survive. I also can't believe the looting and break-ins that have been reported in the area, what kind of people steal from those in need? +It is disturbing to me that people in the US are not starting as many small businesses and the number of entrepreneurs is falling. I think it's because of all the government regulations and red tape that makes it difficult for a small business to start up and compete. It's also of concern that US workers are stressed about job security. +Hey man can you believe that again the sea ice is at its lowest level again! I just read an article on it and It seems like it keeps going lower and lower. I feel really worried for animals that depend on the sea ice, polar bears I think really need it. Plus I read how it can have a really bad impact on our climate because the ice reflects so much of the sun's energy without it even more heat from the sun gets in and doesn't get reflected. Definitely something to watch and worry about. +How could someone treat such an intelligent creature so horribly. You'd think by now people would figure out that we don't have any superior right to health and happiness over other animals on Earth. You'd think people would be too ashamed of the CHANCE of getting caught acting like this to actually have the audacity to treat another living creature so despicably. +Wow. Here we go again, I guess???? A couple of years ago that area in Tennessee was completely devastated by uncontrollable wildfires. Many people lost their lives and their homes. Many businesses were also destroyed. I hope this fire wasn't like that one. A group of kids who were playing with matches in the woods set it on fire. They fled the area and told no one +Hello Friend how are you? How are your children behaving? I do not understand much about politics but now the President of this country and that of Ruisa joined forces when fighting against Syria. They called Syria as the first threat and classified it as terrorists. I really do not understand what is the reason for so much hearing and what was the initial problem. I know that there are many good people in Syria, so it makes me think that many people died when the President of Russia bombed Syria. Many good people die. I consider that the war does not solve anything, it has not done it before and neither will it now. +All the unrest in the Middle East has me really concerned with my son being deployed over there. There's so much going on in Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries and I'm so worried he will end up right in the middle of it all. Please say a prayer that he is safe over there and that nothing bad happens while he is there! +Hello friends I have just read an article about these people from egypt that were on a boat and then they got shipwrecked I think. The recent scientist of the earth have no found the evidence about the ship and the bodies and are beginning to make ideas up about the people. They said that the people were on the ship and I forgot why or what they were doing but it is still a little bit interesting. The article was very long and hard to read though. +I am not sure if you saw that Fernandez is dead. That is really going to impact the Marlins. I didn't know all that he went through as a child to get to America. It is sad when someone with such light and hope is killed either in an accident or by some jealous fan. I know he was really important to a lot of people. I am glad they decided to cancel the Braves game. Nobody is really going to be focused enough to play anyway. +Hey i just saw this post and this is so sad that the kids in venezuela do not have neough to eat can you beleive that some kids only eat a smll meal for one whole day instead of three full course meals i can not even belueve that what is happening o the world where we arw more concered about putting money inot guns and creating ar when we have bigger issue son our hnads such as te hunger that these people are suffering and there kids so many kids are sudfering and even fainting +While reading the article, I did not really care too much about the protests made by people in South Korea against their President mainly because it is in South Korea and not here in America. Although I didn't really have much concern for the article I just read, I hope that these protests will end in South Korea. +Do you hear about that teacher that body-slammed a student and now the student lost his leg? Understand kids can be so wild and disrespectful why would you body slam a child? That was my child I'd be furious and that individual should be very fearful of his consequences for putting their hand so roughly on my child regardless of what the reason was. +Apparently an actor was found dead in a Talk show host's home. Not sure what occurred but you have to feel sorry for those close to them. I certainly don't want to be negative and assume that demons finally caught up with him or an assault of some sort occurred but it is odd and they clearly have family who lost a loved one. It a shame that someone with talent to entertain and act would lose their life at a younger age and I guess it could be any of us but it's sad foor thoose who knew him and my heart goes out to them. +I heard about a rock climber who died in Vietnam trying to scale it's highest mountain. I remember we've talked about going on vacation there. Sadly it was a young guy, 22, not much younger than us. It's a really tragic story because he was on the trip with his girlfriend and when it went off on his own he became lost. In his final moments they were actually in contact through texting. +the reports of officers being killed just because they are police officers is obsurb. Police officers all get a bad reoutation because you got some dumbass officer that kills someone they had no right killing and all officers are tagged as murderers and corupt. officer are here to protect and serve you and keep you safe +Hey, This is some sad news. The rhino couldn't be saved from his infectious diseases, so he had to be put down. I feel bad for the animal as he or she didn't have to live this way. In addition, it was difficult to find treatment for the rhino, so I feel bad for the veterinarians that had to take care of the rhino. +Well here is another story about the dangers of selfies. I'm mystified by this "fad" of selfies. I have never even thought about taking one. But maybe thats just my age or generation. Anyhow another idiot taking a selfie got attacked by a snake. Seems like selfie taking affects the brain or at least the part of brain. I have heard about people getting in fatal car crashes while taking selfies, and falling off a cliff, and being fatally attacked by bears, lions, etc etc. Now a python. +A guy named Collins was charged with stealing nude celebrity photos and videos. While his behavior is clearly unacceptable, one thing to note is the article is calling this a hack. Hacking and nothing is safe, not you, not yours, not your loved ones, is kind of a way to make people afraid and keep reading. In reality, this guy just kinda sent an email to these celebrities and said hey i need your password this is google from google, hurry its an emergency and they fell for it. I feel bad for them, we've all been tricked at least once in our lives by something on the internet, but it isn't like this guy cracked the security of google and we're all doomed. +This is a terrible story. In a way, I feel happy that the child no longer has to suffer. Had the child lived he would be mess for the rest of his life. I am just angry at the mother. This is what happens when a state has weak laws. She is only facing 15 years for what she did. She should be given the death penalty. I am disgusted with the legal system. Thank God I don't live in California. +This person's actions were way over the top! While I may not necessarily like that Trump is in office but I still respect the fact that he is where he is. Just because I didn't get my way doesn't mean that I would act like this! This person took away from others and should be punished for what they did. +When he was born, my son tested for elevated lead levels in his blood, and we don't live near Chicago. We were more than a bit scared, and tried to help him learn not to stick things in his mouth. Lead damage is not reversible, and we lived in an old house. To think that every day people are drinking water with as much lead as indicated is a bit disturbing - and it's not going to be cheap to fix. +I would find it hard to believe that the students are still alive if they were handed over to the drug cartel. If these students were on a trip to hijack vehicles, then law enforcement should not use their time and resources to search for them, especially after 2 years. Their time should be spent on non-criminals. But if they believe the police are the ones who handed them over to a drug cartel, then they should probably look into that then using these same people to locate them. +The filthy scourge known as child slavery is rearing its ugly head again, this time in Myanmar. The United Nation's has estimated somewhere around one million Burmese children have had to stop going to school and start finding jobs. And trying to find a job is where in the trouble lies, it's very heart breaking for the families but with little other choice what can they do? +I don't believe this at all. I think people are overreacting to the news that Trump was elected president. There are always bad apples out there, no matter who the president is. To blame this on the president, right after he was even elected, is wrong. Give the guy a chance and get over it and try to make something positive of this. +Reading this article makes me upset. I hate what we do to native people. It seems as a society we seem to ignore their feelings and traditions just to move ourselves forward. We forget that we intruded onto their land to make ourselves homes that we enjoy yet we can't offer them the same good feeling. To even think that the option of having dangerous amounts of mercury seep into the waters is beyond me. +What are we going to do, start collecting cow farts? That sounds like a good job to me. I bet the benefits are good. I guess the liberals will try to blame meat eaters for this some how. I mean, maybe we can develop some kind of methane collection system and then use the cow farts to power the world. Talk about renewable energy! +It seems wind turbines are killing a lot of birds. In particular the golden eagle which is an endangered species, I believe the article said. I don't understand why they don't cage in the turbine blades like they do with house fans. I mean it sucks bird kind everywhere, but it's either the turbine or toxic smog. +I think if someone is going to take on that responsibility in raising cattle they should at least know what they are doing. This guy, Bundy, does not care for them. They hardly have food or water. They get no interaction so when they do need to round them up, they're mean. That should be illegal. I'm suprised he has not been caught yet. He is very lucky because when he get caught he will regret not taking proper care of them. +I hate the conflict that is happening here. I feel for the three soldiers that died and their families. I guess I'm too much of a pacifist but I really wish that people could realize that this level of conflict is a waste of resources and lives. However, I also know that this isn't how the world works. +I can't believe just how much manipulation went on behind the scenes of Donald Trumps campaign. I feel like we will never know the true extend of how corrupt his whole deal was. First you hear about all these huge collections of data and then you get the idots who defend him about climate change being fake. +Well, this certainly is rich and pathetic. The Muslims and their terrorist mouthpiece Council on American-Islamic Relations are all whiny that someone tried to do to them what they have been doing to everyone else all over the world. Never hear a word out of them when they're blowing up cars and shooting up innocent people in the streets do you? +This article is so alarming. The fact that many Indonesians aren't safe in their own home country is very distressing. A lot of people can't afford to leave, so they're stuck risking their lives because of this haze, which is nothing that they can do anything about. A lot of innocent people are getting a raw deal, here. +I think justice has been served one way or another. This person seemed like a danger to society. I think it's only right they should meet their end in this fashion. People like this should be removed from society before they do something that will hurt others. I feel bad for anyone who was in danger from this mad man. +Hi there. I just read an article and I feel like I need to share my thoughts on it. It was about an oil spill!! Oil spills are so upsetting. I feel so sorry for all the ocean life and animals that are affected and WILL be affected! It's so tragic. I wish we could prevent these from ever happening again. +Even though I am not in favor of the conservative party, I still do not understand why the Jewish people would be struggling to understand "Trump's electron". It is not a one party election so at some point or another the Democratic or the Republican party will be in the white house. There will always be naysayers on either side. Everyone everywhere do need prayers and I do appreciate the prayers from the Jewish community. +I could not help but think of my and my son would we be in a similar situation. I know my son is much younger and the situation would be very different, but part of me can feel the water as we are swimming to get safe. I can see myself looking back to be sure that he is still with me, maybe reaching back to try to pull him closer. It is a very intense thought. +The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different. I realize, ‘Wow, I really thought that I was so brave and so gracious this entire time and really I was just hiding.’” Handler, whose mom died of breast cancer in 2006, got choked up during the emotional interview. “Don’t cry! Don’t cry!” Doherty told the talk show host as Handler tried to hold back tears. “Well, I mean, all right — hold on a second,” Handler, 41, said, while tilting her head back to keep the tears from streaming down her face. “This was very hard and not humbling — because I’ve already been humbled by cancer,” Doherty then continues. “It was hard in the sense of rethinking sort of who you are and how you come to terms with who are now an +Hey just wanted to write you a quick note. I saw on the news today a women pushed another women into the train tracks at the midtown manhattan subway station yesterday. What is going on with people? The police didnt have a motive yet. The authorties said approx 24 people per year are killed on the tracks but its usually accidental. +Death to all cops! We cannot allow the police force to continue existing. They are nothing more than government sanctioned mass murderers that exist to protect White capitalist interests by slaughtering hundreds. We must deceively destroy the police as a concept without any hesitation or remorse. All police are our enemies! There are no good cops! +I read an article about a young mother-to-be who lost her twins, prematurely, after being shot in the stomach. It really raises a good question for me and a lot of people, which is: when do we consider a life to begin? As for me, I consider life to begin when a human takes his or her first breath. Possibly a religious thing, I guess -- my parents and grandparents and entire family believed the same. But because there is no unified belief system as to this issue, I find it difficult to form an opinion as to how people should be prosecuted when a fetus is harmed. I really wish there were one answer to this problem. +It disgusts me that this leak occurred, there should have been a better contingency plan to stop all of those gallons oil from spilling. I feel so bad for the environment and the animals who well be negatively affected by this spill. I feel compassion for the people who rely on the oil, and now have to pay inflated prices and search for gas. +There's something terrifying about being attacked by animals. It's even more horrifying to find out the animals that are attacking you are the ones you think are so cute and adorable. I just read an article about squirrels attacking a retirement home and injuring three elderly. It must have been so terrifying for them to encounter this event. Imagine going out to feed the squirrels like you usually do and in turn get attacked by these rabid critters! It's so shocking and I'm still shaking after reading this. They had to call in the ambulances and animal control to help the situation out. This is tragic. The bites from the attack could lead to rabies and other diseases. I feel troubled thinking about this because these elderly can't really react quick enough in these situations. +These are problems that US solider had to deal with for many year. Hell, you could even go back much, much further if you want to. War is hell, and it can--and often does--do a ringer to your psyche and overall mental health. That's why we as a society need to pump more resources into mental health as we do physical health. +I just read this article about a murder suicide. This couple, their three kids, and their dog were all dead from gunshot wounds. They even shot the dog. :( The family seemed really normal. They had some issues with stress and the relationship, but who doesn't? It's really eerie that people can be like that and you won't even know it. +I really think everyone should read this article. This story shows perfectly how damaging and dangerous guns can be to all people on both sides of the law. This is why this country needs to make it harder for everyone to be able to obtain a gun. This is especially true to those who have been involved in domestic and sexual abuse incidents. +I think its fine that people protest. I dislike president Trump as much as those protesters. But what they are doing its wrong. They cant be destroying property or been a menace for other people. Guys, do it peacefully, that's the best way to do things, otherwise you will get arrested and in trouble. +I think that it would a great thing if all students could get connected to the internet. The internet will provide them ways to learn more and it will help them further their education as well. I think that President Obama's plan for the internet should have really worked better to so that all students can have an opportunity to use computers anytime that they want to. +this article is about As part of its fight against childhood obesity, the organization of nations has called on Member States to introduce restrictions on advertising of aforementioned products on all platforms including the internet. In 2012 in Europe, said the WHO, children use ‘digital media’ for nearly two hours daily on weekdays. And on weekends, they’re online an extra half an hour longer. Internet use is increasing sharply, the organization added, and the trend covers all age groups. Hidden junk food ads online For starters, Google, Facebook and YouTube are the sites with most daily visits online. Meanwhile, Android and iPhone (iOS) are the top platforms on hand-held communication devices, and they also have advertisements via applications. +a 6.4 magnitude on the richter scale earthquake hasshaken up the whole capital of santiago, chile. chile is very propense to earthquakes and natural disasters. we have heard of an earthquake that scaled out to be 8.8 and destroyes over 200 thousand homes in chile. i feel very bad for the people who died. and send out my compassion to the family of the 55 dead in this earthquake. +Just read an article that explored Trump's appeal and why he won the election. It indicated that Trump had a simple appeal to the darker side of people, the look out for myself and not others side, it explored Trump's ability to partner with those that are hurting and feel left out of society through lack of jobs, etc. He used this association to promote his agenda, with simple phrases that were easy to remember, and tailored it to the good old boy network. The article didn't really explore Russia's influence on the election, only addressed Trump's appeal to certain groups. +Boring. I don't care, again, because it doesn't impact me or anyone I know directly. These people should move. I sure as hell wouldn't stay there. I do find it hilarious that this is happening in California, where they seem so concerned about every possible social issue under the sun, especially taking care of people who are here illegally, yet there are parts of the state where actual citizens can't drink the water like they're living in a third world nation. Then again, given Commiefornia's stated desire to secede, they might get to live their third world dream. +Reading about atrticles like this in a country i dont care about has no meaning to me. Im lower class worker in the USA. This kind of stuff makes no difference in my life because i struggle to even feed my kids. People facing hardship in other coutries is there problem not mine and i have no real feeling towrds those people +I cannot believe there is someone evil enough in this world to torture a poor, helpless kitten this way. Did you read this article? The kitten was wrapped so tightly, it's little legs were close to it's face. It made me cry. It is horrifying to think people that are capable of this exist. Anyone that does this is a true psychopath. What will they do next? Murder young children? Anyone that is that cruel to animals should be punished. Please share. We have to raise awareness. +I just read an article about U.S. soldiers being killed in Jordan. This is tearing my heart out and I can't get the images of what must have happened out of my mind. You know that I was in the military myself and it makes it that much harder on me. I can't begin to imagine how the families of these soldiers must feel. From what I read, apparently this was an accident and the soldiers were shot when they failed to stop at the checkpoint going into the base. The base was already on alert due to a previous car bomb attack. I'm guessing that they felt they couldn't take any chances on it being another car bomber and went ahead and shot at the vehicle. It's so sad. It's bad enough that these brave men have to face dangers from the enemy, but when they get taken down by friendly fire? +This article was very interesting but also written a little strange. It was about a wolf who had wondered off from the pack. The wolf was a protected wolf part of a group being protected by some biological organization. Had a tracking monitor on him and his life was largely documented. I guess he wondered from the pack looking to mate. Well the government, federal government, killed the wolf by a sniper person and its caused a big uproar. Kind of weird but I guess that is a thing. +Gosh, another article about the Middle East and terrorists. This was is pretty much like the one I ready earlier. Things never get better. The terrorists won't even allow people to leave the city they're holding, to try and reach the Iraqi army nearby who could help them. Maybe the UN needs to step in and do something. +Bankia a banking company in Spain had their board members spend unauthorized private money from the bank on hotels, entertainment food, and other luxuries. All this was spent from credit cards used by the bank itself. The spending was unauthorized and not reported to the tax authorities at all. Bankia was already in the limelight already due to being bailed out by the government in 13 million dollars. +I just read an article about leprosy found in squirrels. It is kind of scary to think about what diseases can be lurking in other animals that we are not even aware of. I worry enough about this kind of stuff as it is, and now I just have more to worry about when I leave the house. Sometimes I think that ignorance is bliss. It makes me want to just stay inside. +Like I have said before and will say it till I am blue in the face. I hate Donald Trump. He is not progressing the United States of America forward. He says his new slogan is Keep America Great, well, buddy, you got to make it great in the first place. He is one racist, misogynistic, egotistical liar and cannot wait till he leave, however way. +I didn't realize that a dam could cause so much problem. It is a shame that the people who are going to be impacted the most are the indigenous people. I don't understand how people feel it is okay to do this to them. Maybe there are many pros that I just don't know about and this article is focusing only on the negative of the methylmercury. I guess this goes to show that we as a human race can affect the environment in maybe a not so good way. What do you think about this? I am curious what you have to say about this. +I just read a very interested and heart touching article concerning Haiti. It is very sad to think about the amount of suffering the Haitian people have gone through in the past years. A lot of very sad hardships, from Earthquakes destroying already terrible infrastructure, to intense poverty. It makes me want to help the people. +Why do people do this. I would really hope that people did not take their own life, but if you are going to take your own life, why take other people's lives with yours? Why would you kill your own children, I do not know what kind of pain this man was going through, but I do not believe he should have taken that pain out on his children. I wonder how we can prevent this from happening. Are there early warning signs that we can spot? Did he ask for help in his life? I just really feel sorry for the children, they never got to live nowhere near a full life. +The story about what is going on currently in Venezuela is devastating. It is almost haunting and definitely disturbing. The economic crisis that is happening there is not only affecting people, but also the animals that live there. Especially in the zoos. We don't often let how a crisis in countries can affect animals cross our minds, we typically only think of the people. Not only is directly affecting the animals in the way that they are being fed diets that are drastically different from they should be consuming, but the people there are having to hunt animals that we would not typically deem acceptable. Such as cats, and dogs, and even going as far as to steal horses from racetracks simply to eat them, or to feed them to animals at the local zoos. Many animals have suffered for weeks. +Hey, I was just reading an article about that house fire that happened in WV. Can you imagine the tragedy? That is such a horrible way to die. And to think that two of the victims were children plus their dog. It makes me ill just thinking about it. Such a huge loss for that family and the community. I hope officials find out soon what caused it and I pray for the friends and family of those who were killed. So sad! +There has been more fighting from the Saudis in nearby Yemen. The United States continues to supply the Saudis with weapons and intelligence, despite the atrocious use they will be put to. These war crimes seem to be increasingly commonplace, yet the US continues to pursue the almighty dollar in supporting Saudi Arabia. +I just read an article blaming Donald Trump and his campaign for hate crimes against Muslims rising. It was your typical propaganda that the media pushes on you - you know, fear mongering mixed with unsubstantiated nonsense. It mentioned the supposed "Muslim ban" that Trump was responsible for. At that point, I lost interest in the article as it was 100% clear what the agenda was. +So, I had to read an article about somebody named Kylie Jenner, and evidently she has some sort of makeup line or something. Anyway, evidently she must be popular for some reason, because people are making counterfeit cosmetics and selling them as her brand. She put out some message about how you should only buy direct from her website. I guess a sucker is born every minute. +I was reading an article about the Zika virus. It was a fairly comprehensive article that went over what the virus was and how it affects humans. It's scary how it can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. I still don't think I have any serious chance of contracting the virus fortunately. Those that have are going to have a hard time in life. +I just read about an old couple that died while out in the water. Apparently they may have had some kind of health conditions, but nobody really knows. The people who checked the bodies think it was probably heart attacks that killed them. Anyway, it's really scary to think that at any given moment our hearts can just stop working and then we are gone forever. +What a terrifying ordeal that these plaintiffs went through. If I was them, I would be suing whoever was responsible, too. I try to avoid putting myself into situations like these, but life often does not care what you want. I hope that these people get the closure that they are seeking. I know I would want closure. +If you are using trumps name to make him look bad is not the answer here. I know that trump is not being a good president right now but lets not discredit his success. Somebody burned a church that is not related to Donald Trump at all, lots of Families go to that church. I think someone used this attack as an attack to Donald Trump because he is not affiliated with this and makes people look like he caused this +It is disturbing that one person’s views (such as President of the USA) can be so disruptive to people’s lives. The situation with the immigrants from Mexico and the idea of building a southern border wall is upsetting to me. President Trump policy and views are disruptive to the whole economy of Mexico, causes political tension and instability, not to mention the extreme uncertainty in the lives of Mexican immigrants in USA, who already have hard lives here. +Did you know that Saudi woman needs a man's approval for like everything? To work, to rent a flat, to get medical treatment. What is really sad is that even if she is widowed sometimes HER SON is asked for permission. There is a protest going on right now to get them to be able to be their own guardians after a certain age. I am very proud of these woman for fighting for their rights. I hope I get to read another article at a later date saying some kind of law was passed to let them have their own rights. +I feel so bad for Val, he is battling this disease and people are dwelling on the fact he may die soon. I think Douglas cares for Val,however,he should not make public comments regarding Val's condition, that is very intrusive to Val, and I feel anger towards Michael for being so rude and invading towards Val's condition. +Major Issue: "Study: More toddlers and preschoolers are overdosing on opioids — In recent years, rates of toddlers and preschoolers hospitalized for opioid overdoses more than doubled, according to a new study. In fact, overdoses rose more than 100% over a 16-year period among all children, the study published in JAMA Pediatrics Oct. 31 showed. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine analyzed national data from the Kids’ Inpatient Database on children admitted to U.S. hospitals for opioid poisoning. The study focused on more than 13,000 records from patients ages 1 to 19 between 1997 to 2012. What's to blame? Possibly the increase of prescribed pain killers, including OxyContin and Vicodin. " Really? Try doped up irresponsible parents who leave it lying around in the first place. +Hey, this is one reason I don't get on rides at amusement parks anymore. They are not reliable and they freak me out thinking that they are going to break. I got stuck on a roller coaster one time and I hated it. I was scared out of my mind. That was the last time I ever got on a ride. I'm not putting myself though that again no matter how fun the rides used to be. That must have been a horrible death for those people. +It's very upsetting to me that people feel they still need to poach elephants and rhinos just for their ivory. It's a species that you are making extinct here. Why are people not trying to control or help the situation more? There has to be some kind d of co trolling standards for the extinction of the rhino and elephant. I believe I saw something not that long ago that actually painted the tusks and got s of elephants and rhinos that permantely stained them so the poachers work not beable ti use the ivory. They stained them a pink or blue color. We should try and regulate that and do that so no one will kill these animals. If that's possible. +I would feel absolutely horrible to be in any of these parents shoes, I feel like they probably think they are completely lost, anxious, deserted. I would be a complete mess. I dont know exactly what i would do in that situation. I feel like the chaces are good neough for them to try for that second baby but i do inderstand them not wanting to rry because of the small chances of the other one having the zika virus anyways. +These are the headlines that I have to read these days! I just can't believe all of the horrid news that is taking over our lives lately. And now we have to worry about when our men and women go out to train, that this kind of thing can end of happening at the drop of a hat. So, who is responsible after this? Who helps the children now without parents? Who pays for everything surrounding their funerals, and all of the costs after that? +It really doesn't make since to me that someone would come to America and then carry out terrorist attacks. I would think they would stay in their own country if they hated this one so much. So I really wonder who the supposed terrorist are. The news media and government would have to do a better job explaining why the "terrorist" are carrying out these attacks because the reasons that they give doesn't make much sense to me. It just creates even more questions than answers. +i just read an article about a father who killed his daughter's adoptive grandfather because he had molested her and got off with a light sentence. its crazy. i mean, i can see why he would snap, if you can call it that, but.. i dont know. my feelings are all over the place. if someone hurt my kids i could see imagining killing tyhem, but i doubt i could acct on it. and there are all these people cheering his actions. like he has this weird fan club for doing it. his life is ruined, his daughter is a mess dealing with the guilt of it all, someone is dead. and it said on the way to kill the old man, he shot at an old boyfriend of hers he suspected was abusive. idk, maybe the heat of the moment since he already decided he was going to jail for murder. just such an emotional read +Hey, I think you should be careful around the Canonsburg area next time you visit Pennsylvania. The crime has been increasingly more dangerous within the past few years. According to this article that I read online, a police officer was shot to death and another police officer was injured in an ambush. I feel that if you were to come down to visit the area, then there would be something similar happening to other people. Ambushes, riots, and shootings are all problems occurring in the area. I feel bad for this city as it has a chance to redeem itself as a great city; however, with all the criminal activities happening, it makes it difficult to do that. +It's always sad to hear of entertainers, especially comics, losing their spark because of dementia. I wasn't really a Monty Python fan myself but I've heard a lot about them growing up and it seems that they were a great deal of fun for their fans. I know they influenced and produced some favorite comics of mine. +I've noticed there is a lot of disasters going on in the world. It is scaring me a little. I think that us humans have fault for that. This world cares way to much about money. If we didn't care to much about money we would have less problems going on. I honestly feel this world is coming to an end. I don't see any improvements or feel there is going to be any improvements. There is more natural disasters, new diseases, obesity, cancer more and more people are dying. So many people need mental help a lot of us are very depressed and anxious. I think it is very important for us to stay closer to god. +A Jordanian writer was shot and killed outside of a courthouse due to a cartoon he posted mocking ISIS. It's amazing that someone could be persecuted for mocking a terrorist organization who rose to fame by killing people and causing civil unrest. What reasonable country would prosecute someone for this? +This article reminds me of an incident that happened when I was a teenager. My stepdad worked at a power plant and there was some small explosion and three people died. One of them was the father of a guy I knew from school. I had heard his head was crushed. It was very disturbing imagery and it has stuck with me since. I worry about my husband working in a dangerous job, too, but it seems generally a lot of guys working in these places aren't following safety rules and that's how the accidents happen. +I just read this crazy article about Wells Fargo that I thought I would share with you. It turns out that low level employees were signing people up for products and things that they did not need. Sometimes they were even forging signatures to get this done. Now before you jump to conclusions and thin k that this is all the employees fault let me fill you in some more. Management came up with a quota and incentive system where employees(who don't make very good money to begin with) would make extra money the more people they signed up to these new accounts. So basically the people in charge over there thought that it was a good idea to screw over their account holders and give their low-level employees crazy quotas, all so they could make more money. Then its the workers getting fired. +Just read an article about a celebrity's parents divorcing, which definitely sucks, since that's always been something I've feared would happen with my parents. I don't think the writer of the article understands the emotional weight of the situation, though, since they only seem to care about the fact that the dad that filed for divorce is good looking. +Did you see where that Australian hiker found after 2 weeks in Malaysian jungle. He only had one day of food with him. He lived on berries and stuff. I think I could survive in the woods like that. I know a lot about native plants so I would do pretty good. Of course as long as it wasn't some place cold. The jungle would be hard but only if there are wild animals that would like to eat you for their food. At least the weather would be better. +Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. +I am sorry for this teacher who is just trying to do his best in a heated political moment. I have no doubt that he was only attempting to teach to the best of his ability and represent facts as he always has. I wish people could approach each other with more compassion in the spirit of education rather than attack those who are trying to better our children. I am glad to see that he received some national support. +Hey. I'm not sure if you have ever considered getting yourself screened for colon cancer. From what I have read, the prep for this screening seems quite unpleasant. Drinking massive amounts of a questionable substance heavy with salt doesn'r seem to be like a good time to me. I noticed that some items from a company have made it to phase two trials through the FDA. One is a food bar and the other one is a smoothie. They are supposed to have some kind of flavors to them like strawberry and lemon. I guess this should help with the process. +Dear C., I just read an article about gun deaths -- specifically when guns are used against children. Small, isolated cases that happened in small towns. As I was reading the background and history of the families, it occurred to me that there's a strong socioeconomic component present, and that the people described weren't what you and I would call middle-class, and definitely not well-educated. It's like we were talking about the other day, I don't think that the dems can possibly win this fight unless they are able to appeal to gun owners. I don't think that this dynamic is going to change -- I mean, when you think about it, guns symbolize power, and in the article I read, what came across is that the people who used them against children (one child against another) need to feel power. +She lost my sympathy really quick. Seems like she likes attention. This does make me look at Paris differently. These all seem like inside jobs. I would be safe there. But, I still don't plan on visiting. Not a fan of people endorsing candidates in countries that they can not vote. Seems like an ego thing. +So I just had to read this article for a survey. It was completely unformatted, an enormous text-wall essay list. I made it all the way through though. I'm not really into sports, which the article focused on, but the article did talk about a bunch of prominent women in sports and their accomplishments. It was a little hard to follow because I'm not really familiar with a lot of sports terminology or what accomplishments are big deals. I think people generally care more about men's performances, but it's good that women can be recognized for their accomplishments in sports too. There was one bit about a woman who got some popularity over what the writer called a "raunchy" photo shoot. I think that's kinda weird that something like that was even included in an article with feminist tone. +The good news is we live in a place that does not have much air pollution. The bad news is that people that have lung cancer that is exposed to air pollution may have a shorter survival time. Air pollution kills thousands of people each year. Researchers claim that the median survival for people diagnosed with early stages of lung cancer is expected to live 3 times shorter amount of time than those that do not. Of course, we all should stay away from cigarette smoke but it is unfortunate that we have air pollution. They can figure out a way to get to the moon but can not seem to figure out a way to clean our air. +I think there are way to many people watching CNN in this country. They need to grow up. People are way to sensitive. We can not walk around on egg shells worrying about if we are going to offend someone. People will say mean things. People will hurt your feelings. grow up and get over it. Don't let it bother you. These people do not rule your life. You do! +A Russian twelve year old left for school one morning. Her mother went looking for her when she didn't return home. When she called her cell phone she was told that her daughter had committed suicide as a part of some social group that takes their own lives. It's sad to see kids seeking attention in this light. +This article talks about pouching in Africa. It's really sad hearing about the rhinos. We need to protect these animals. These animals are more important that the people poaching them. Those poachers deserve to die; they are horrible people and they are destroying a unique species. This is a terrible thing. They desperately need to protect these poor rhinoes from people. +Crushed to death by a machine that makes recycled plastics into pellets? Really? What a terrible way to die. My guess is that standard operating procedure does not include crawling inside the machine to unclog it. I understand that it is a tragedy, but geez, at some point people have to be held accountable for their own actions. I'm sure there will be a lawsuit, probably a hefty one, but I hope they lose. There doesn't seem to be any reason the company should be held accountable for his actions unless there was a malfunction of the overall systems. I'm trying not to picture it in my mind. Yikes! +I remember how hard I was to my mother especially in my teens.It can be rough and now I see that instead of how it use to be.As a kid you always think that you know what is best that you are number one.You don't really think about other people and their feelings and you tend to rebel and jsut be this horrible version of yourself. +This article about post-traumatic stress disorder is disturbing on many levels. This country really doesn't take care of our veterans. Not to mention the fact that Vietnam and Iraq were unnecessary wars in the first place. I worry we're headed for another war, and with the VA in the state that it's in, how can they possibly care for more war veterans? They can't meet the needs of the ones who already need help. It's heartbreaking to imagine these soldiers re-experiencing the war over and over again. However, I am glad to hear that there is help for people who have PTSD. I remember when we were kids and first hearing about PTSD in Vietnam vets, it was thought that no one ever recovered from it. Healing is possible, but the vets have to find the right people to help them. +This is a perfect example of why we need cameras everywhere. They have this guy on video doing all the bad things he would do. There is no way anyone can make any excuses for him now. They will surely try, though. BLM will probably come up with some story about how he was an upstanding citizen or something we have already heard before. +This article is just awful. Boko Haram is an extremist group that needs to be stopped by any means necessary. The fact of the matter is these people are using religion as an excuse to rape and kill woman and children, and thats one of the most unmoral and unethical things I can think of. These poor women and children are not only kidnapped and drugged, but they are also dealing with being raped and having their loved ones killed. This is an awful and tragic issue, and this is something that needs to be shown throughout the entire world that these people are bad and need to be stopped. +its very sad that Sally Jessy Raphael Said that She Was ‘Betrayed’ By Talk Show Producers When Sally Jessy Raphael’s self-titled talk show aired in the ‘80s and ‘90s, it found success as a topic-driven program with relatively relatable stories. But by its end, Raphael tells “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” that her series had devolved into a show of salacious content and tabloid fodder like some of her talk-show peers, and she was not happy about it this makes a bad ending +I know that the affordable care act will effect alot of people out there who are already struggling but this is an issue that just sounds wrong to me. First because so many women that I know who have gotten and IUD had complications and second because the issue of women being able to choose to have an abortion is a bitter conversation to me. +Before social media, you had to pay to get out information about your business. Now, every person and company is its own media brand - and there are significantly less barriers to reaching people.his has allowed smaller brands to gain a foothold in the market much easier. When we see trends like craft beer, food trucks, and local fashion, that is often the result of harnessing social media platforms to build a following in a cost effective way. Prior to smartphones and social adoption, it was much more difficult (and expensive) to reach people, especially if your location wasn’t on a main street. One or two small businesses isn’t enough to worry a big brand, but millions of them around the country can make a serious dent in their market shar +It's about time! I really support them doing this petition. I hope that they take it seriously and are able to liberate the Saudi women who have been oppressed for so long. You would never see that kind of ownership/guardianship system in places like the United States. Maybe feminism really is sparking change around the world. +The reason why they're killing people over there is because the Allied Forces are occupying their country. If only we would keep our nose out of others' business, then maybe, just maybe the world would become a better place. But as with all empires (and America is no different ), they eventually fall because of internal forces. +I just read this article about a really bad accident that happened at a water park. Apparently, the ride malfunctioned and threw some kids from the ride and the parents were stuck in the raft and they were stuck underwater and were hitting the machinery below. Everyone kept talking about how horrific it was and what a terrible tragedy it was. I feel really bad for these people and it really makes you wonder if you should go to a park ever again. You're suppose to have fun at these places but you never really ever think about actually getting hurt when you get on these rides. Those poor people, they just wanted to have a nice afternoon and it just ended so badly. +Three quarters of a year after the Zika outbreak was declared a global health emergency, the virus has infected almost seven hundred thousand men and women across Latin America. One estimate in the tens of thousands represents the number of infected expecting mothers. This is feared to result in fetal deformities. +Religion should be a freedom of choice. Some people are Christians and some are Muslims or Islamic. This makes me sad Christians chose a different religion so why should the Islams brutalize them and hurt them? That is cruelty and one of the reasons why there will always be war in those countries. I don't think I would ever want to visit those places, I would be very scared. They target Christians and kill priests. These people are heartless, forcing these people out of their home. +I just don't understand Russia. I mean they seem to be a country that is civilized, right? How is it that they so openly support terrorism? I just don't understand how they stand with Syria and are OK with all of the horrible things that are happening there. I think if Russia actually stood up for what is right, the world would be a much better place. +Man, they are ruining the giraffe habitat of the Rothschild giraffe. It kind of sucks, but what can you do? All we do as humans is destroy nature anyway, and when it comes right down to it, I'm sick of hearing about "This endangered species, That endangered species." It is near nauseating to hear people continually express concern over things we cannot even change. The habitats are going to be destroyed, animals are going to die - so what? As humans, we are a plague on the earth, but pretending that is going to change any time soon is silly and fool-hearted. I wish people would stop pretending to be concerned over things that they ultimately have almost no influence on, anyway. +Ya know a lot of people hate the Jews. Yet we both know lots of Jews and I like most of them. To me it doesn't really matter as I never even thought about someone being a Jew until I got older. People are people. Jews are smart. Jews have always been smart at least for generations. Smart people make money and are good at business. Just the way it goes. Jew, Jew Jew, I'm sick of all of the Jew hate. OTOH people have a legitimate concern to fear that Trump being elected will cause problems like WW2 did. After all Jews tend to be Republican and likely donated a ton of money to Trump and they are more powerful today than they ever were. Still whatever, it doesn't affect us. +I had no idea Shannen Doherty was going through breast cancer. It is such a tough situation to experience. Cancer really does humble the soul into new places that one never thought possible to emerge stronger from feeling. It sounds like she faced it with a mask of strength at first. After time, the real emotions came through where she realized the strength was not in being stoic but admitting how tough it really is to experience. It is through supposed weakness that we become stronger. +Man its really upset that we cant have a peaceful protest. Why cant we just voice our opinion in a peaceful way. Why does it always have to start and end with violence. Why do that have to destroy businesses that had nothing to do with the protest. Totally sucks for people who are just trying to live their lives peacefully. +hopefully you did not go through much reading this particular messade unfortuanetly this happens everyday and people throw vbnlind eyes tro the situation because no one wants to deal with this kind ofstuff but i am presenting this tuff to you so you guys can acknowldge it and be awareof it and be a little more bit educated about stuff liek this and so on +I just read an article about famed basketball star, Scottie Pippen. Someone thought it was new worthy to make the world aware that he and his wife got into a screaming match and she was afraid. The truth is, no one but their family knows what's really going on. His wife could be a very dramatic person. She could be giving him a hard time. While domestic violence and emotional abuse should never be tolerated, we should leave people to deal with their own screaming matches. +Terribly sorry for all the families affected by this incident. I confident that the Russians had something to do with this. They interfered with our election too. They are corrupt and shady. This further demonstrates that you can't trust the Russians. I'm so done with them. I'm not sure what needs to be done but I wish Putin disappeared from this Earth. +It's bad that these 2 died, but I have to believe they had to have know the risks involved. I think so many of us, even knowing the risks, think that "it can't happen to me" and do things we shouldn't. It's so sad for their families! I'm not sure what is the right thing to do. Signs are posted, and divers know the risks. But would it be better to permanently close the area? I'm on the fence. +Avoid reading this article. It's so fucking long for saying so little. The author feels the need to go on and on about irrelevant details and it comes off as the ramblings of a skito out on the street corner. It's the same nonsense the media pushes about those poor kids, but doesn't delve into how none of this shit would have happened if people were responsible and didn't make shit choices that are obviously bad. +IT is just sad that someone would think this is an acceptable way to resolve any problem. He clearly needed more help than he was getting and it is unfortunate that it was recognized that he needed help or the mother didn't take steps to leave sooner. I guess in life sometimes you just can't tell what is going to happen or what will set someone off. +These poor birds. We need to start recycling more and making sure our plastics are at least cut up. The beads in the plastic seem to be a good idea to try and detour the birds from eating it. All these simply thing we as humans can be doing to prevent these terrible things from happening. I feel like recycling and people having knowlegde about these plastics and polluting our environment are everywhere for Americans to see.i just kind of wonder the countries that had the highest percent of plastic in their oceans do they educate or inform those countries like america does? Why are those country so much higher then the others what do we need to do to reduce that number? +I had no idea that caffeine powder could cause problems like that! Other than the obviousness of it being caffeine, I wonder if it's any worse than coffee in that way, or if it's just because its usually a hidden product. Also comfrey, I have definitely taken in things before, it's been in menstrual supplements, I didn't know that. I feel like I've seen green tea powder in something as well. +hello friend, how have you been lately, I am somewhat depressed by an article that I read recently, that helped me a lot, that I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this, for example: He did not vaccinate or treat his cattle due to illness; he does not use cowboys to control them and cope; does not manage or control the reproduction +So sad! The middle east just keeps getting worse. I hate what’s happening to these people, but I’m not sure how to solve it. I wish there was a simple, easy fix. However, it seems like every time we try to fix something it just gets worse. It’s such a complex situation with no easy answer. Unfortunately, I don’t see it being solved any time soon. +I can understand being absent minded and concentrating on other things to the point you're so laser focused you forget some small things around you. But how in the hell do you forget your kid is in the backseat of the car, much less come back to the car hours later and still not see the kid in there. It makes no sense, it's hard to believe the guy did it on purpose, but it's hard to believe he didn't remember him twice. Really sad and tragic. +Not that we need to necessarily get ourselves overly involved in the affairs and well-being of other countries, but we should definitely be paying attention to what is going on in the world around us. There is human suffering everywhere and I think that most of the time we are completely oblivious to it, or we don't want to face it. I believe that it is a good thing to be able to realize how cruel human beings can be to one another and to appreciate what we have when we have it and not take things for granted. Considering we could always have it much worse. +I just read an article on the decision this week to dismiss the Kenyan general in charge of the peacekeeping force there. I agree that the restoration of a peace agreement is important and vital in this situation. I hope they can figure it out and the fighting that is happening all over the country can finally end and they can have peace. +The fact that human beings are abusing the planet and each other is evident in this article. It is enough to get you depressed, read this so you can get an idea of how pollution affects third wolrd countries. Instead of going after industries (probably all American) with fines, they rather close schools because of the pollution and smog. Their health is being affected and not only that, the enviroment is being completely abused. +I just read an article about an elementary school volunteer producing child porn with kids as young as NINE. This is absolutely disgusting. How can anyone violate our sweet children like that. He gave out cell phones and used an anonymous social media app to solicit videos and photos of boys and girls performing sexual acts :( I am so perturbed that people are so disgusting. I can promise you if this ever happens to any of my kids they are going to be a very sorry person. +A fire destroyed a family's house. The people escaped and suffered no harm but two of their cats died. As a result of the fire, they are displaced but at least they're alive. At least the Red Cross is helping them out. They might be sad about the pets but I am sure they feel fortunate that no people died in this fire. +This story left me feeling pretty confused. It was so short and didn't provide a lot of answers at all. I was left wondering why France wanted to dismantle the camp and why the refugees were so angry and against the move. What was really going on here? Were there some other issues that had nothing to do with humanitarian considerations? It seems like there's usually more to the story with refugee stories. +I feel very sad for the civilians who are caught in the crossfire. It's sad that people are stuck in the middle of this conflict. I wish there was a peaceful resolution. Both sides should really keep the ceasefire if only to protect the civilians who are caught in the middle. Those people have no control over any of this. +I totally support these protesters. We've had trouble with oil pipelines here in Michigan. I feel like these pipelines are foisted on local communities without any care for whether it is good for the community and without adequate studies as to how safe they are from leaks and pollution. There are more important things in life than money and oil. +Jose Fernandez was a pitcher for the Miami Marlins and unfortunately died in a major boating accident where they rammed a rock. I got to read more into his life and upbringing and it's truly sad to see such a good man fall in such a preventable way. I truly feel for all those who suffered his loss. It's such a sad event and it's stuff like this that makes you be more appreciative of the time you have. +I just read an article about how Billy Bob Thorton felt about his marriage to Angelia Jolie. He expressed that he did not feel good enough to be with her. This was kind of surprising. It made me feel empathic towards him. He stated that he did not like being around rich and important people. This made me feel like he is relatable. I did find it odd that they both wore vials of blood around their necks while they were together. It was a little gross. He even went into detail about how they cut their fingers together to get the blood and then compared it the lockets you can buy and put pictures of your grandmas in. I also did not realize that he is 20 years her junior. I found that to be a little old but I have seen it work. The article also briefly touched on her relationship with Brad. +I just read another article about clashes over in the middle east and I am sending it over to you. This kind of thing has been going on forever ,,, my whole life and I have to admit that I am becoming immune to these types of stories and lost all empathy for these people. Normally you would read a story such as this and be heartbroken for the women and children who lost their lives but there is a story (or 2 or 3 or 10) like this every day and for decades and no end in sight. So just pile up the bodies of the woman and stack up the children murdered. Herd the maimed into a corner and block it all all of your concious. Too much insanity and too much gore to think about so the healthy thing for you do is just ignore these stories since there will a new one or two or ten tommorrow and forever +I cant believe how some countries treat criminals. I agree that they should be punished and face consequences but beating them to death is definitely excessive especially when the crime is not that bad. I'm not sure how that helps the crime rates and I definitely dont think we should consider that method where we come from. +I thought reading an article about iconic moments of women athletes would be quite a bit more interesting and moving than it was. Instead, it was mostly a rattling of championships and medal counts with very few anecdotal pieces of information. The only things that really stood out were the story of the marathon runner and the swimmer because there were interesting stories attached to them. +I'm really confused at why multiple articles were mushed together like this. At first I was perturbed at the first article because I felt like the lady was being ridiculous. She weighs 500 pounds, so obviously a 1200 calorie diet is going to cause her to lose weight, the fact that she can't find a scale to weigh her doesn't matter. You don't need a scale to tell you're losing weight. Measure your body with measuring tape. But then I got to the article about the Mexican students and found it really horrifying. I can't believe the terrible things people do to one another :( +Another presumably liberal leaning teacher has been placed on leave after comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. He claims his statements are all backed by historical facts. I support the school district's decision to suspend him. If statements like this had been made about Barack Obama, it would likely be all over nightly news. +I feel really bad for the woman, Janis Barinsky, this article is writing about. Nobody should have to go through such torture and borderline abuse at their workplace to endure this type of behavior and thoughts. For a company to treat their employees this way and to push them to the verge of suicide is just out right awful. +I did not know much about Cohen before I read the article about his death. I heard the Jeff Buckley song of course because it appears in Shrek. I also think that the Irish girl did a cover of Bird on a Wire that I like. He did a lot of work and was an influence over much of the music scene. It was sad he got ripped off and had to work so hard to re-earn his fortune. It is an informative article and worth a read if you don't know much about him. +I can't believe we live in a world where terrorism—both domestic and foreign—are such a looming threat. Being out in public now more dangerous than ever, and it's all because of the convoluted sociological web of conservative ideology that has promoted domestic terrorism in white heterosexual American masculinity and the xenophobia that inspired Islamic terrorism. There's just too damned much hate in this world, and hopefully more people will find love and nurturing like the author of this book found while writing about her trauma. +This article I just read is incredibly intellectually dishonest. The notion that women were somehow exiled from talking points and inclusion in the Trump campaign is actually nauseating. This kind of narrative is truly what the modern liberal exists upon. It's disgusting. I'm not a Trump fan, but mark my words, this kind of crap will be the reason why he wins in 2020. +Man, car crashes happen all the time. There is no way they can be prevented. I would like to think that the smart cars of the future would help prevent this, but I am not to sure. Somebody could probably hack those and cause massive car wrecks as well. People should also drive safer as well. There is definitely too much speeding. I wonder if drunk driving was the cause of the wreck. That's a huge problem that causes a bunch of wrecks. Don't drink and drive people. +So, in India there's a lot of corruption and the Prime Minister made a promise to stop it. He made a pretty extreme decision to get rid of the two highest denominations of currency in the country, so that people who were hoarding cash and not paying taxes on it would lose out. There was a grace period, but the country was really unprepared for it still. The banks didn't have enough smaller bills to trade to people. The poor weren't able to go to work because they had to stand in line at ATMs. Someone made a really good point that the real money from corruption is stored in Swiss banks. I agree! +Maybe they should evaluate him and figure out why he did what he did so that when he gets released, he's not tempted to do it again. The story really didn't tell why he did it or if he was mentally challenged or anything, it just says that he injured the bird. The bird is a sad case of what a zoo is. Those animals should be in the wild, and not cooped up for people to ooh and aah at them in a park +If you're here illegally, you shouldn't be here. I don't have much sympathy. Sure, if your parents brought you here, you didn't have much choice...but figure out how to be here legally. I don't have much sympathy for people here illegally. There are ways to do things right...and there are rules for a reason. +Its crazy! Over One million children couldn't go to school because the smog was so thick ! they said its like smoking 40 cigerattes a day . That you feel like you are being choked when you walk outside . Could you even imagine ? Parents taking their kids to the docs and them saying get out of the city for a few days and they will be ok . That's just crazy to me . so sad . +I don't know if you've seen this article about the war on cops, but I found it pretty unconvincing. It actually made me a bit angry, because it focuses on police deaths form two years ago and doesn't take into account current figures. Also, by focusing on deaths alone, it completely glosses over injuries to paint a picture that policing is safe in the current climate. It feels a lot like fake news to me. All you have to do is pick up the paper to see how often cops are involved in fights with criminals and crazy people. +This is very sad. I can only imagine how stressful it must be for the people living in the areas threatened by these fires. It must be so stressful knowing that you have to be ready to evacuate any minute and leaving your home and all your belongings behind to possibly never seeing them again. I also feel bad for all the wildlife. +This is such a weird experience and so unexplained. Why are so many people dying in the Med? there are not enough safety measures being put in place so that people can safely enjoy themselves. It is so easy to take someone's money but then you do not give them the safety that they paid for. It's sad and such a shame but honestly, I not at all surprised. +This article about the Philippines mayor is very alarming. It is a shame that so many people resort to corruption and bad deeds. It is also unfortunate that it had to end in casualties. People should really evaluate their behavior and how it impacts others. I would not want to go traveling there if this is how they behave! +I don't really understand the uproar over some birds. Maybe I am being just unsympathetic, or maybe I'm not as understanding as I thought I originally was. To spend all this money, and all this time, to save these birds, seems kind of silly to me. Why don't we focus the funds on something else that actually helps people? +Putting make up on a train, is that just paint? Ha ha. I don't want to make too big a deal about this because it is a different culture and it would be difficult to get the full gist without knowing too much about it. With that said, it's is pretty worrisome, in this country as well, how much people are telling everyone what they should and shouldn't be doing. Live and let live is still the best way to go about things and comparing putting on make up on a train to pooping on the train is pretty ridiculous by any standard. +I think that people try to pin a lot of stuff on trump as far as sexism goes, but it doesn't really matter. if people want trump out of office then they need to find something else to pin on him. He tampered with the election via the russians, and thats what people need to pin on him. This sexism nonsense isn't going to go anywhere +I think the short of it really is that the racists won the election. It is incredibly sad that such a seemingly easy to win election against someone who is openly calling groups of racist things, and actually encouraging hate and chaos, was lost. The democrats are right to be taking a long look at how they do things, they've always been the party that is "we're like the republicans, but you won't gag as much voting for us." I think the average person who cares about politics, and is liberal, got a shocking wake up call this time around, and we're going to see people turn out in incredible numbers to vote. +Boy I can't ever imagine being in a fire like these people. First Your scared about just trying to get out. Then your looking out for your neighbors and their pets. Man just tragic really tough. Now they have to find somewhere to stay. Just turns your life upside down. Paperwork keepsakes so hard to get over. Even if your not hurt it must affect you for the rest of your life. +Hello, how are you doing meN? Remember that chat we had a week ago about Haiti? I was just reading an article about it, never thought things could have been so bad, they are even worse than what I imagine worst than what we talked about. I find it funny how we are so enclosed in our small little world, while in Chicago we are celebrating about CUBS victory in over 100 years, in Haiti, they are suffering for water and food. +These people were guests who were presumably staying illegally at this camp. They were allowed to stay there out of compassion , I'm assuming. Then, when they're told that something else has to be figured out, they lose it. When you give a group something, even if it doesn't belong to them and even if you're being kind my doing it, they immediately feel like it belongs to them and will react strongly if you try to take it away. +While reading this article all I could think of is how much of a shame and alarming it is of the recent shootings that have been taking place all over the USA. I know we have talked about guns and ownership in the past, but I'm starting to think it is important to look at what we can do to stop these acts and how we can make a change ourselves. I also was surprised that they did not try to take the story and flip it into being some type of political debate about how the shooter was made about politics or a race war. +Can you believe how disturbed some people are? I just read an article about a woman whose parents forced her to have sex with both of them when she was 11. They did it for money. If you are a parent struggling for money, how in the world does your mind turn to sexually abusing your child for money? They are sick, and 20 years is not enough time for them in prison. They are the people that are supposed to protect her, and they violated her in the worst way. She is very brave for telling her story and for just being a survivor. +I had no earthly idea wearing contact lenses required this amount of discipline in order to avoid potential problems. I would much prefer to stick with glasses. What particularly concerns me is the potential for scarring on the cornea and any possible loss of visual acuity. Frankly, I don't like the idea of sticking something in my eye to begin with, and this has turned me off from contact lenses forever. +I don't see how things are still happening like this in this point in time. We can not let this continue. It really makes me sad and fell fortunate for what I have. It is insane that people still act like this. Maybe we should send some help over there but it might not be a good idea to get involved and could cause worse problems. +I blame this on the neo-liberal policies of Barack Obama. He made a lot of hope and change promises and delivered nothing. After 8 years peoples lives haven't gotten better. Having a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is ridiculous. The mainstream media carries a lot of this blame as well for not informing the public about issues and only reporting sensationalism garbage. +Oh my gosh this is so awful. I feel so bad for this man and his family, as well as the mother of the child. Could you imagine getting hurt, nearly being rescued, and then the helicopter failing too? Talk about terrible luck. I hope they start a gofundme for this man and his family - we should all donate if they do. +Natural disasters like these are just so scary. They could literally happen at anytime and no one ever knows when, especially earthquakes. It is sad to see such historic buildings and areas be destroyed by this event. It is even more sad knowing that people got injured. Some things just aren't fair in life and you never see it coming. +Hello, I will tell you something, an article I read recently, said that millions of Nigerians survived Boko Haram, but now a humanitarian catastrophe is putting their lives at risk again, wise about this information I think it is more important information than it seems be, I would consider that it is a news that should happen even by television +Toughie, the world's last Rabbs' fringe-limbed tree frog and a symbol of the extinction crisis, has died at his home in the Atlanta Botanical Garden.The famed frog's age is unknown, but he's at least 12 years old, and likely older, because he was an adult when collected in 2005.Mark Mandica, who worked with Toughie for seven years, says the frog's story isn't entirely unique. “A lot of attention had been paid to him in captivity, so he even has his own Wikipedia page,” Mandica, head of the Amphibian Foundation, notes. “But there are plenty of other species out there that are disappearing, sometimes before we even knew that they were there.”In fact, Toughie's own species (Ecnomiohyla rabborum) wasn't described until 2008, +I feel bad for the kid that fell into the gorilla enclosure and Harambe, the meme king of 2016. It sucks that they had to shoot the gorilla, but it didn't know what it was doing to hurt the kid and it seemed like there was no choice but to kill him. It must have been an awful downer for the zoo visitors who expected to have a relaxing and fun day of leisure. In my opinion the zoo should have given the visitors present at the shooting a coupon for a future visit or something like that to ease the downer. +the state in Syria is bad. the Syrian conflation has a medical source in rebel-held Aleppo told the AFP news agency that a shortage of blood meant hospitals were struggling to deal with the huge number of casualties caused by air strikes over the past four days. There was also no water supply in many areas after pumping stations were damaged at the weekend, and several charity kitchens were forced to close because of the violence. +This story is pretty weird and I wonder why they suffered heart attacks or whatever it was in the water. If they had pre existing medical conditions, would they have known it would be a bad idea to snorkel? There should be more precautions in place to make sure people are able to snorkel before they go ahead and do it. +This article was just ridiculous to me, I see the need to be protesting and freedom of speech and rights but we as people need to do peaceful protest not using armed militias to stand off on a protest. That is going against the very fundamentals of what liberals stand for. I think the group should have had some repercussions to what they did. +Wow. Let me get this straight: The German Consulate are "invaders" but all of the Middle East and North Africa pouring into Europe like the Camp of the Saints is "refugees" and if we complain about it, we're racists. Here's an idea: All Muslims, Arabs, and whatever else we're not supposed to notice this week can go back to the Middle East, and then our "invading" consulates and embassies will be HAPPY to go back to where we came from. Never speak to us again. Ugh. "The Taliban....." Yeah, no, the word you're looking for here is MUSLIMS. The MUSLIMS are the problem, not the Taliban. +Yay, bigots! I know that bigots are not a particularly new species, but I used to think, just a few years ago, that things were much better and that people were generally becoming more open-minded and welcoming. But the election of our new president signals something very different. And very much encourages the bigots to spread their wings and parade proudly. They are being empowered right now, and that is very disturbing. +Wow, just wow. I think that the possibility of nominating this judge for the Supreme Court really needs to be reexamined closely in that this nomination could cause bigger problems and chaos across the country. There would be heavy debates and fights from both sides and in the end, there unfortunately would be no progress. +Who knew that a typhoon hitting two countries would be less disturbing that articles about trees and dust. Our compassion is ruled by numbers and when two people die a storm we yawn. But show us dead trees for tell us we are breathing residue for a toilet cleaner and we freeze with panic. Perspective is a hard thing to find sometimes. +in Spain this was the Deadly Train Crash killed at least four people and injured nearly 50 others after it derailed in the northwest region of the country.Photos of the wreck showed the train’s carriage flipped on its side and smashed from where it likely hit part of a bridge near the tracks.A witness woman told Spanish television about hearing a "very strong bang" before seeing billowing black smoke. +I have a lot of sympathy for everyone worried about the Trump administration. I get it. They're not wrong to be worried. I think the author of this article misidentifies the source of the problem, though. It's not Trump. Trump himself isn't why we're in this situation. It's the people and institutions who supported him and the people and institutions who were ineffective at combating him that deserve the lion's share of the blame. +It's a shame how the government can't get this under control. As I've always said, Flint isn't the only city with these problems. The worst part about the localities that disregard the lead levels is that either they are fabricating the test results or not being fined at all. I just don't see that things are going to get any better under Pruitt ( he really needs to resign). I just can't see the EPA fining or shutting down water systems that are non compliant. I am terribly worried, not only for the children of Flint, but for All the children who are still drinking water with high lead levels. +This article brings back to mind the overall mass hysteria that the left, centrists, and neocons feel when they think about Trump. I'm not a Trump supporter, but I honestly believe people are truly delusional at this point. It has become vomit inducing. Liberals should be more pissed at the DNC for crapping on Bernie. Neocons should just admit to being big government centrists so we can all move on. +I am one for not giving your potential mate any reasonable doubt. For example if Tanaka (Mariah Carey's backup dancer) made her fiance uncomfortable he should have been axed in the beginning of the relationship. I also do not think it supports security all the time either. I think that if you value that mate there should definitely be sacrifices made in regards with relationships. +It's a shame that there are so many refugees in the world but when does it stop becoming my responsibility. I understand that conditions around the world are not ideal for everyone. However, if we just let everyone start coming here who has a problem in the world we begin to lose a sense of who we are and what made us have the country that is stable. I don't want to sacrifice my nation completely over the fact that I'm sorry the place you live sucks and is run by morons. +This article about the murder/suicide of this couple just further proves that people who commit acts of murder are usually mentally disturbed. They will harm someone and themselves with or without access to a gun. This murder/suicide was clearly not done by a gun. There are so many situations where a murderer will kill themselves after they have harmed someone else, proving that they are very disturbed and they should have received help of some sort. This will prevent them from harming innocent people along with themselves. +A moron Arkansas cop left her police dog in the patrol car in the middle of summer and the poor thing died. She's on administrative leave while the incident is being investigated. What's to investigate? The dog didn't lock itself in the car. She should at least be immediately fired for being too stupid to be a cop. +So I think I just read the most interesting article to date ever published. A girl ran into a police officer with her car, while taking a nude topless selfie to send to her boyfriend. Feel a little bad for her, even though she should not be doing this, especially with a glass of wine in her cup holder haha. Guessing she was drunk, which is the main crime here. She had a bond of 2000 dollars I believe. I kind of want her to be freed haha. +I hate that tourism and economy end up hurting our animal's habitats! People are so selfish while traveling, and they do not think of how their actions will effect the wildlife in the area. Please remember to clean up your trash, do not litter, and do not leave items out that will potentially hurt animals when you are visiting an area. Countries need to spend more time and effort on saving natural areas for wildlife. +After reading that article on the Arctic Ice, I feel that maybe we should get together and do something. Maybe find an organization to donate time and money too. I don't know, but it is scary that the ice is not rebounding. I am not sure what will happen in the future, but if we can try to get people aware now of their carbon footprint, maybe, just maybe we can make a small impact on the ice melting. I know the Earth goes through cycles, but I am sure that humans have greatly impacted the amount of thawing way more than normal cycles. It is as if humans are a parasite. We are like a chronic inflammation to the Earth. It's getting scary out there and we have no other planet to go to in this vast universe. We can't mess up the one we have. +It seem like we have enters the day where people are more sensitive to political issues that ever before. Although people may not agree with the current administration under Trump they can not falt or blame other for their personal beliefs. It is especially a shame when a mom will kick out their own child for mock voting is a manner that she find unfitting. +There has got to be a better solution that we can all come up with to make sure that these deaths are stopped or at least decreased. I understand making sure that the elephants are safe, but people should take priority as well. There are people fearing for their lives. What can their country do about it, and if their country can't, when will another country come in and offer their assistance? +It seems like the air pollution in India is getting worse and this is especially troubling for children who are very susceptible to the open air. This is very alarming as just recently 1,800 school had been close in India because of the poor air quality. It seem that these particle from the smog and fireworks are so tiny that they can make there way in the small pockets of the lungs. +This article was so sad. I guess ISIS had killed many people recently in israel. They were very rude about it and many people were at high tension worried they had bombs or traps set up as they were recovering and looking for more bodies. They said the people of ISIS just dumped there bodies as if they were trash. +sexual assault is the major problem in the country there were many cases first , second and third degree reported.the recent story of the UW-Madison student who was charged in alleged attacks on 5 women —sexual assault against a University of Wisconsin student led to multiple charges based on claims from five women. combined with the viral nature of social media, has resulted in modern-day character assassination that is very real and very wrong." How to help survivors of sexual assault might be spread over the media or the other sort +hey friend,you should read about the article i just read . The world is just full of problems.I just pity the way some animals suffer in this world especially in war zone areas like Gaza,Libya Syria.I just wish I could do something about it because serious attention is needed in those zoos.If only I had powers I could do something about the protection of this animals. +I've given up my faith in humanity. There are just certain events that transpire that make you shudder to the core. After reading multiple articles today about just how shitty people can be to one another, it makes me beyond happy to know the individuals that are in my own personal life. Human greed knows no bounds. Human ego needs to be set aside and/or destroyed. +Kesha the singer opened up about how she was treated in the music industry...it's so crazy how time after time these pop stars, rappers an singers come out with these stories about how they got cheated, or that they find out that their manager had been stealing from them for years, or giving them advice that doesn't actually serve the artist. The problem is that a lot of these artists go into the music industry naive and desperate and just take whatever hey can get...whatever del, just to get their foot in the door but just end up getting screwed, +I just read that Kevin Meaney, a standup comedian and actor has died. Although I don’t remember him very well, according to the article I read he was a celebrity of some notoriety in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Mr. Meaney was in the CBS sitcom "Uncle Buck," it was only on for one season in 1990, and he made an appearance on an episode of "Saturday Night Live. He was on the Johnny Carson show, too, which was the top-rated late night talk show for decades. I really miss all the bright comedic talents that launched their careers on the Carson show. So many of these great comedians of the past have inspired budding comic talents of today. They will be missed! +middle east is fucked up, I've honestly never heard of a middle east country such as Afganistan deporting people, the mention of it just sound funny, who the heck would want to stay in that shit hole country that has been infested with terrorists and child rapists? Perhaps those refugees are out of choice, honestly they should come to a better country such as U.S. or U.K, even though those 2 countries have their own policies regarding immigration, but I think they're quite tolerate to people from war torn countries +Did you hear about Jose Fernandez? He just died in a boating accident. He was only 24 years old! It's just so shocking and sad. What a waste! He was with two other men too, all in their twenties. Hose had overcome so much adversity. when he was a child in Cuba, he would only make $4 a day selling tomatoes and onions. It's such a shame to lose such a great man and great ball player. +It's scary to think that even somebody who is as well known and guarded as Kim Kardashian can still be the victim of crimes like this. It's got to be disheartening to be Kim and know you've spent (most likely) a lot of money to have security with you at all times to protect you from things like this, yet it still happens to you. You'd have to wonder just how much more one can do to protect themselves. +I feel so bad for that innocent customer. This is something that is unfortunate and a random freak incident. All over a declined card this man got so upset that he had to take it out on other people. It is shocking to me that some people can have so much anger in them to do something like that. That person that was shot was just going there on a normal day to get coffee and now his loved ones can't see him no more all because someone got worked up over a declined card. I guess we need to have security every where nowadays it seems. No place is safe to go. You can't even go to the coffee shop without worrying someone is going to pull out a gun at you. +What I learned from my experience is that most modern factories, even the ones in thirds world countries, will try to make their employees reasonably comfortable and safe. Not because their super-altruistic but because it helps with productivity. A happy, rested, relaxed worker does better work and more of it than an exhausted, stressed out one. it's unfortunate that this guy died the way they did ono the job like that. +Did you hear about that bus crash that happened in Delaware. It was very sad, also I read that 2 people were injured. I hope these people can recover fully from their injuries and go on to lead fulfilling lives. Hopefully something like this will never ever happen again and measures are taken to prevent it. +Did you hear about the earthquake in Tanzania? There were over 200 deaths. It's so scary because you can't really prepare for something like that. I live in California so people are always warning us about the san andres fault line. I get so worried thinking about how bad it might get if something like that happens to us. +I am upset and disturbed about the result of the investigation on the article. It also saddens me to know that the families involved in the missing of those students are still hoping to see their family member even after years of waiting. This article reminds me that no matter how long the case, the family will always wait for them to hug those missing students. +This story makes me sad that a hard-working family member can suffer in this way. Life can be pretty cruel. On the bright side, with advancing computer and health sciences, the future does have some light at the end of the tunnel. I think it's probably helpful to try to focus a bit on the positive. My political views are different from most. I find myself disagreeing with many Republican and Democrat stances. I'm in favor of universal healthcare, basic income, and access to assisted suicide (rational suicide, access to drugs like Nembutal for anyone who thinks they might want to make the rational decision not to live, and instead die in a humane way). +This story upsets me. I can't seem to get it out of my head that the victim was a child even though there's conflicting comments. But to die because you stole porridge seems insane. I guess I can't put myself in that situation where maybe porridge is hard to come by but just knowing that someone died for that seems petty to me. +Another Taliban attack in Afghanistan today, this time directed against the Germans. A few dead and many wounded, primarily women and children. They said it was in retaliation against US air strikes that have cause a lot of civilian casualties. An endless cycle, just like before. Remind me again why we're there. +Life is a dangerous thing. People are suffering from natural and man-made disasters. There is a huge number of deaths due to hazing in Indonesia. All driven by over-industrialisation and hunger of profits. Governments and scientists should do more to prevent these kinds of deaths: at least to have certain warning systems installed. Also, natural disasters such as hails and typhoons can wreck a havoc in peoples’ lives. Now I have second thoughts about traveling to South Pasific islands. They are gorgeous but dangerous. +I think that its really sad that forests are getting wiped out through causes of diseases and invasive species of bugs. It really should be are main priority as humans to preserve the environment the Earth has provided to us before its to late. It up to us as the younger generation to reverse decades of environmental abuse so that future generations are able to enjoy nature such as hiking through a beautiful forest. +the article is touching its great about Ebeid families who flee to other countries, are forced to leave them behind.” In another neighborhood of eastern Aleppo, 83-year-old Reema Salama lives alone in the home where she raised her children and his wife, who suffers from high blood pressure and rheumatism. Marea has received unexpected help from another son, Hameed, who was visiting from Turkey and became trapped in the city when the government imposed its siege several weeks ago +There is a particularly rough situation with the United States, Russia, and Syria right now. The United States is receiving conflicting intelligence about attacks and conspiracies. There is a need for cooperation but diplomatic intensity is very important. Russia seems to be keeping its intelligence under wraps while Syria is in a power deluge. +There was another gunman attacking random people in Houston. I think it's so scary and disgusting. Mental health these days seem to be at a all time low and it's showing left and right. We need to do something about people who don't act like humans anymore. They lose all empathy for others and just want to end their life in a cowardly way. +It's interesting that so many people would have this reaction to the election. Sure, there's a lot of negative stuff surrounding the election and the president...but a lot of it is rhetoric and media. It doesn't seem as relevant on a local level. I guess it would depend on where you live...maybe I'm too isolated to understand. +Did you hear about this sexual harassment scandal involving the National Parks Service? I guess there really is no industry that is immune to this misbehavior. Incidents have been documenting going back decades but nothing was done about it. It's really outrageous what people in power can get away with. +Awful news article. Us as a society need to do a better job of protecting and helping not only our planet, but the animals and mammals that surround it. The fact that almost 100 percent of the caimans are suspected to be dead is alarming and people should be more informed on such matters. The rate of extinction that these animals and mammals are going through on our planet is extremely alarming and I can not figure out why people aren't more concerned or even aware of the matter. We need to do a better job of protecting ALL living matter on this planet, not just ourselves. +So the FBI seems to fail at preventing serious terrorist attacks when they knowingly had a suspect. Their investigations obviously are not thorough enough to always prevent attacks even whey they are forewarned about a specific person. The nightclub attack in Orlando seems like it could have been prevented if the FBI did their job. They had warnings from the killers family and basically a warning from the terrorist himself. With extremist like this guy, when they already had him once, I think more severe tactics are necessary to protect the country and its citizens. I feel like the FBI is just making excuses because they were incompetent and do not seem to take everything as serious as they need too. Our country deserves that! +I remember this going on. I knew someone who considered this option. It's a shame that women have to think like this, about birth control meant to outlast a political regime. Trump and Pence are reprehensible, but at least it hasn't come to pass - not that they wouldn't salivate at the opportunity to attack women's health like this, we've just been lucky so far that they haven't got their way. It bothers me how these guys think. +Garden ponds 'playing role' in frog disease spread — Garden ponds are playing a role in the spread of deadly frog diseases across the UK, a study suggests. Ranaviruses can infect amphibians, reptiles and fish. In the UK, they have devastated common frog populations. This research suggests that the introduction of infected animals from aquatic retailers into ponds or moving species between different ponds may be exacerbating the problem. +From this article I read 82 percent of ecosystems are being impacted by climate change. Whats interesting about this is the environment and the species in these ecosystems are going through morphological changes. Sometimes we get this idea that climate change will eradicate all life from the Earth but it seems that we will be able to adapt to it to a certain extent. By no means am I say we shouldn't make changes to solve climate change but it is interesting to seem how life is adapting to the changes. +Hello Jane, how have you been, I want to vent out an article I read and is very heart breaking. A few families lost their loved one in a ride at the Dreamworld theme park in Queensland, Australia. They were thrown off the ride into the water. It is a very sad story and it will be investigated, also the Dream world CEO has created a memorial at the park with 500 staff to attend, which is very kind. +So two sisters were on vacation and both died. Apparently fluid in the lungs but one had fluid in the brain or something like that. So sad for the family. The government where they were at is not giving the family much info if any at all. It is just weird how two sisters both died at the same place and by fluid in the lungs or brain. +I wonder if I recognize this guy. I haven't heard of him up until now. He was just a little before our time, although I'm sure he had an impact on many of the people we know. It seems like he influenced many other comedians that I know. I plan on looking up his work to see what is out there of him. +Big businesses should really be held accountable for where the bailouts they receive really go. Yet the government don't really enforce any rules. Just here is money and trust them to use it as it was intended for them. We really should stop corporate lobbying in Congress. Look at these people using the bailout money just for luxury. I am outraged! +I don't like the fact that environmental concerns are still a large part of our world in which we live but I believe the higher power controls this and that will keep us from ever completely overcoming these issues. It makes me upset to know Native American tribes are being affected by drought to the point of possibly ceasing to exist. I have Native American heritage and feel that this population should be cared for by our government before segments of third world countries. I don't like the fact that air pollution is a problem or a salty lake is drying up in Iran but I understand our environment is controlled by God. We, as a nation, choose our battles sometimes based on the wrong things. Taking care of the Native American tribesman should be a HUGE priority! +I recently read an article about how the band Eagles of Death Metal visited the Paris attacks memorial. A year before they were playing at a concert hall when the attacks occured a year prior. Sting was the first person to play at he concert hall since the attacks. The front man of the Eagles of Death Metal was denied access to the event. He had told Fox news that the muslim security collaborated with the attackers at the concert hall. +I wish there was something more that I could do. This is getting out of hand, but it's kind of far away geographically from us. There needs to be something the international community can do. Farmers everywhere are killing pests and animals that interfere with their farms, but elephants are completely different from pests. They are extremely smart and are just hungry. I honestly wonder if we should come up with a plan to feed them, and this might sound crazy, but try to study elephants and come up with some way to communicate abstract ideas with them. +There are three sides to every story: the one individual's side, the other party's side, and the truth. I'm not justifying that what the airlines did was right, but I believe there is much more to the story than what was reported. Granted, privacy issues come into play and not everything can be revealed; however, I take the complaints with a grain of salt. +I just don't know how they could do this to that poor girl. After everything she has been through. I really feel for her. I understand what she might be going through. It is a shame to have this happen after all this time. I really hope that someone will be able to help her.I feel really bad about what is being done. I am worried about what might happen if she doesn't get any help. They really should just let her go. +Oh my goodness, check out this article. Very interesting but also very sad. Poor guy was just trying to do his job. This sounds like a terrible way to die. If nothing else maybe some new and improved safety measures will be put in place to protect the next person who has this same recycling job.I hope his family gets an attorney and tries to get some sort of money for his untimely death. +I am very concerned about the spread of Zika. I think in many cases the federal government takes it too likely. What price is too expensive for the health and safety of our citizens, especially our most vulnerable ones. Given the advance warning we’ve had about the dangers and progression of Zika, it is shameful the lack of progress that has been made globally. +I think we need to remember a few important things, psychologists and psychiatrists have very hard times. Sometimes the people they are sent to treat are manipulative to a point they have fooled family, friends and professionals for years. We also have to acknowledge those with underlying mental health issues who may have been taken advantage of and used by criminal organizations. +What I have learned from this is that obesity is a silent killer. In most of the cases, by the time one realizes that they under the clutch of Obesity and it’s already too late for them. Some prominent signs of obesity are- lack of flexibility in body, high blood pressure, development of cardiac issues and respiratory disorder. But a question that continues to bother the patients is what caused Obesity in them. +What an awful tragedy no family should be subjected to this. This is really getting out of hand i cant believe the middle east still has so much turmoil. its really ridiculous. i hope our boys can help calm the situation and keep things safer than they are now. its just insane how much a person must be delusional to go through with these actions +I wish more people would donate food that's still good instead of throwing it away. There's so many people who gladly take anything to eat and there's people just throwing out perfectly good food. There should be some way to easily take food or even have someone come pick it up and then the food can go to needy starving people. +Another example of the Government disregard for the Indian people who lived here before we ever arrived. Sad in this day and age they are just trying to protect their land. Stop the potential for environmental damage to the land where they have lived for thousands of years. Don't we learn anything from history. How can they shot and harm these people just protecting their land and way of life. +Sure glad I live in Minnesota and not Chicago. I hear the latest problem is lead in the water. Now they are shutting down all the outdoor fountains. One reason is to protect the homelsss. LOL who are they kidding. Like anyone actually cares about the homeless. We have this pompous rich guy Donald Trump cutting peoples SNAP on 2019 while at the same time cities are worrying about lead in the water to protect the homeless. It's all really annoying. Granted I agree lead is bad but then again some Govt. clown probably needs to do something to justify the 6 figure income they make. +I am not sure what to think. I would be happy to be alive. I would like to know if they knew what the sea would be like as the sea is VERY unpredictable and I doubt they wanted to kill themselves too. I think it's a tragedy and no one is at fault. It is just one of those things that happens. Some things and tragedies are unforeseeable. +he mayor was on Duterte's list of local officials branded as "narco-politicians" who allegedly have ties to the illegal drug world, according to CNN affiliate CNN Philippines. He, along with his wife, surrendered themselves to provincial police in August to clear their names and deny involvement. At the roadblock early Friday morning, an "armed encounter" between Dimaukom's men and police ensued, the report says, with law enforcement officials responding to fire from the mayor's bodyguards, leaving 10 men dead. Duterte was elected to office in May on a platform of a hardline crackdown on crime, particularly illegal drugs. Since taking office in early June, his police force has waged a bloody war on drug dealers and users, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Filipino drug suspects at the +I feel bad for the migrants who died when the ship which was carrying them sunk. Especially the young ones. Kids shouldn't have to die like this just trying to take a risk to improve their lives. I am touched by the state of the tiger population. They should never be raised and kept in this fashion. They deserve to be free. On top of this rare species should always be protected. +I have pretty strong thoughts and feelings about this. From what I read, I feel like that is a very tragic situation. Us as a society, we are taking advantage of the trees we have here. In order to protect the environment and make the environment better again, we need to take care of it. What we are doing, in my opinion, is morally and ethnically wrong and we need to do a better job of taking care of nature. I understand that some blame is from the volcanoes of hawaii, but feel like us humans do way more damage than what mother nature brings. +Wow, did you guys hear anything about this? It would be cool if men could take birth control as well. Not just to relieve the burden from women, but for men to have their own sexual freedom as well. Condoms are really the only thing they have control over, and they're known to fail more often than any form of birth control. +It's sad the train wreck cost 4 people their lives. One can only hope none of the injured are critical. It would be great if they could find the cause of the accident. If they don't, who's to say it won't happen again? The statistics could be even worse next time. Wish this could have been prevented. +This currency ban is a bold and brave step for the Minister. it is a bitter bill to swallow at the beginning as can be evidenced by the poor Indian population even missing work to line up at ATMs to get cash. but it the long run it will be beneficial in abolishing corruption. surprise ban on most currency in circulation in India, a bold attack on corruption that crippled business at stores and markets around the country as millions scrambled for cash to meet even basic needs +There was just a 5.0 earthquake in Oklahoma. Fortunately, no one was badly injured. I didn't even know they had earthquakes there. It must be very scary to have to go through one of those. I'm glad we don't have them here. We used to have drills at school, in the event of an earthquake, but that just seems like a waste of time. I've never even been through one. +This article highlights the fact that although we may have profound faith in the goodness of human nature, we never know when a killer is walking among us. The recent spate of mass shootings at schools and other locations underline the presence of disturbed people in our midst. Besides defending ourselves, we need to ask ourselves what in our society is provoking this disturbing behavior. Certainly the ubiquity and ease of acquiring guns is one cause, but there may be others that need attention as well. +There has been unrest over the disputed region of Kshmir between Packistan and India. It looks as though there were 13 civilians killed during this latest skirmish. It's pathetic to see so many innocent people being killed for no reason over this disputed land. Already there have been two wars fought between these two countries. I hope they can reach a peaceful settlemnt but since this has been ongoing for over 70 years I highly doubt that this will actually happen. +I am really saddened by what is happening in Brazil. I can't stand that this type of damage is happening in nature. We as citizens of the world really have to step up our efforts so that it doesn't happen more often. We should little by little try to reverse the damage that has been done for better good. +New data shows airline discrimination complaints jumped 37 percent — The Transportation Department is making more data available about complaints of racial, ethnic and religious discrimination filed against the airlines, the agency said Tuesday. The department said it was releasing the data to the public in an attempt to be more transparent about such complaints and how they are handled. +I think the robbers probably knew that jewelry would be harder to get away with because in order to make money selling it, they could be tracked and found out that they were her pieces. It makes more sense to steal money and they probably thought she would have a lot considering she is a huge celebrity. They must not have bothered to think that she probably wouldn't have cash. I feel bad that she went through that. +Terrorism has become so commonplace that it does not even alarm me anymore. It is simply just another day in the world that we have come to live in. No one really wants to address the reasons that drive people to terrorism, so I guess we will just continue to let the media sensationalize death and complain about it the next day. +This is really scary. I don't think I would want to have my life in the hands of someone else like on this whaling boat. someone's stupid mistakes can really be bad news for everyone trusting that person. I'm not sure If i'd be interested in going out on a boat, whaling, or even a cruise ship after reading this article.Just one wrong move from another person can seal your fate. It must have been so terrifying for these people. I definitely believe all the trauma they say they have endured and I would definitely rule for them in the suits they brought against the plantiff. +After reading the article about Azalia Banks and Russell Crowe, I must say it was rather humiliating. They treated her really bad. I felt compassion for her. I tried to put myself into her shoe and I know I would have broken down and cried. She should have controlled her tongue as well, violence begot violence and a soft answer turns away wrath. Russell is not much of a lady's gentleman he could have dealt with the issue in an amicable manner. Maybe they could just let bygones be bygones and put it behind them. It was rather unfortunate. +ABUJA, Nigeria ― After her father died two years ago during a Boko Haram raid on her village in Yobe, Nigeria, 16-year-old Zulyatu, her younger siblings and their mother fled to Biu, a town in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state. A year ago their mother left for another town to get treatment for high blood pressure from a traditional healer, leaving Zulyatu alone to care for her siblings, 12-year-old Abubakar and 8-year-old Amira. +That's interesting about the buzzing possibly being created by the brain. I always thought it was created by the auditory nerve. Someone very close to me deals with tinnitus every day, and I always thought it was odd because I'm the one who has worked in high noise environments, but she's the one who suffers with it. It's interesting because it says psychotherapy is a possible solution which would make us very happy if it's real. +I just read on a news paper about a situation in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka about their water situations. They are confronted with a very complicated water problem that is quickly turning extremely serious. The capital city has a population of 15 million. They are pumping the water from the city from the underground and the water is dropping with 9 feet every year. My understanding is that the water is becoming less potable as the pumping is going deeper being contaminated with arsenic. The researchers are trying to locate the contaminated areas and in the meantime thinking of different sources of water such as the one with the help of monsoon. They do have serious problems over there and sounds pretty difficult to have it fixed. Many will have to suffer unfortunately in the meantime +The medical profession is clueless according to three articles I just read. They have no idea how to treat obese or transgender people, among others, and doctors routinely act based on biases and stereotypes. For example, scales aren't calibrated or constructed to weigh obese people and medication dosage often doesn't take weight into account. Doctors just tell patients to lose weight and rush them out of the office. Not that the rest of us are protected from medical protocols that are outdated and sometimes harmful, either. What to do? +I just read an article about the awful treatment of animals of zoos in foreign countries from us. Feeling a little down thinking of how these people could treat the animals how they could continue to raise animals in zoos where people will come and view them while they're ill hurt and some even dying. Even after receiving help to get these animals to a better location where they can be cared for properly other zoos are still continuing with bad treatment and allowing visitors to come witness it. Just like a child animals depend on us if we have them caged either let them out of the cage or take care of them why is that so hard for people to understand or do? +GBR The great barrier reef. I read an article that stated that it was on life support. That the beaching incident of two thousand sixteen amongst others things have left it close to death. The GBR covers 1400miles and has 70000 jobs hanging in the balance. Its crazy because this thing is 25 million yers old. We have to do something. +According to Dr. Jack Drescher, a leading specialist and critic of conversion therapy practices, there is not just one set of practices understood to be used in conversion therapy. “People have tried all kinds of things because none them really work,” he told The Huffington Post. Drescher also said that the majority of research surrounding conversion therapy has taken place on adults who’ve undergone the process, and there is very little research surrounding LGBTQ youth who have been through conversation therapy practices. “But of course you have anecdotal stories,” he said. “Some children have reported running away from home, there have been cases in the news of young people of when their family found out about them or they came out and the family insisted they go to conversion therapy +hello brother I am learning the news I am very happy that you are already in sacrament I am happy that after completing your dream of playing in the NBA is a great time for you and you should know how to take advantage of this great opportunity take care of yourself and succeed.I'm really very proud of you +It's absolutely horrible how Indian government treats their people! Poverty, disease, no regulations when it comes to the environmental safety standards. My heart goes out to these people because they deserve to live in peace on this Earth and be healthy and prosperous just like everyone else. Such a blatant disregard for human life! India is like hell in Earth. I would lock up these government people in solitary confinement for life and let the fly ash befall on their heads so they can find out what getting tuberculosis and liver decease is like for these poor people! The situation in India just never ends, makes you wonder where all these mega wealthy Indian royals are?!!! Why isn't the fly ash falling on them, or why aren't they drinking polluted water that causes lung illness!!! +Officers shooting at unarmed black men needs to stop. I know there are some really good cops out there, but the bad ones are the ones giving the good ones a bad rep. More officers should be vetted before they go to the academy. They need to have better background checks. I completely understand if someone was armed and the officers were in fear of their safety for them to shoot, but if a white officer shoots at an unarmed black man for no reason, that's wrong. +there is a lot going on in this one and I had lots of different emotions throughout the whole thing. numerous issues with the article I read, cops shooting people, people being sent to prison for far too long of a period of time, as well as militias being formed to protect land. I feel our land is important ,I feel as though cattle should be able to graze and that we have a huge problem when it comes to economic issues,due to the way that livestock is taken care of,to produce food for people. It is heartbreaking to see people fight for land they love it, and it’s heartbreaking for the police to have to shoot people over it. people lose years of their lives in prison over land and cattle and thousands upon thousands of dollars wasted in court cases. the whole article was a mess! +I think zuckermans opinions on the oil import has some actual valid points. I feel like his plans and what he wants to do is a good idea. I also feel liek their are too many people just trying to make a quick few bucks, theyll do anything and everything to get there way. I feel bad for some of the less fortuanate consumers who have to be tricked into paying these ridulous high prices foroil. +This is sad on the surface, that these two passed away while scuba diving at such an old age, but then I consider it. These two people - lived their life together - went somewhere glorious and had a wonderful time on vacation together before passing. It is morbid, yes, but is it not also somewhat beautiful? +So many politicians don't see how serious global warming is and refuse to do anything about it. I'm not the biggest environmentalist and sometimes I ignore the whole climate change thing, but I do believe it is happening and know that our government needs to do something about it. I have no faith in our current government to do anything, but I hope others around the world will and we as individuals can do something, even little things. Maybe doing things collaboratively can help change things for the better. +This feels so typical. The burden of safe sex has fallen to the woman for decades, ever since the oral contraceptive was introduced. Women frequently have to decide between accepting disturbing side effects or accepting the risk of pregnancy, whereas men have never had to make that choice. There will never be true equality until men and women face the risks and consequences of sex equally. +It's a shame how troubled the middle east is and has been for the longest time. I wish we could come to some agreement with the rest of the world on how to realistically handle the multiple situations in the middle east. I feel that we should pull out and let them handle their problems on their own with only some guidance from us. +The United States should be ashamed of how this last election went. It was sad that they could not be fair to other countries in the campaigning. Trump bullied other countries and the other bullies in the US voter for him. There is no reason why such a fool should be running our country. I know as Americans anyone can become president, but that does not mean that they do not have to be presidential material. +All of this unrest in the middle east makes me afraid to ever leave North America. I'm glad that it turned out that the shooter was mentally unstable instead of being involved in a larger plot. I wish I had some answers that could make all this war easier but I just don't understand why everyone can't just get along. +These people argue about who's fault it is, but in the end, we're just moving down a highway together, that we build together, and all these dangerous curves are our own fault. The truth to me is, all the Republican party did to win was take advantage of disenfranchised people who are tired of things that happened ten years ago and beyond, so they looked to the only people who would listen to them, even if they were wrong. +the eldest generation of russians aren't being treated properly and should have some sort of financial compensation. they are living off very little per day financially and live in poor conditions. after paying utilities, they barely have enough for food. health care has also taken a turn for the worse because they can't afford to get proper health treatment due to the costs involved +Oh my god. Did you hear about this story of this family of two girls that got killed on Halloweed? Apparently they were hit in a trailer and that cause them to die. Could you imagine just wanting to go out and have fun while trick and treating but then you get the sad news that you daughters are dead? This is heartbreaking for that family. +In all honesty. I have read so many of these articales it is all starting to run together and i am forgetting what i am reading. The time and pay i have spent on this is starting to look like it is not worth completing the hit because it is becoming unfair pay versus time i am spending reading all these articles and wasting time +This article was quite interesting to me. It talked about the invention of a new male contraceptive. It talks about the potential side effects that steer men away from using the contraceptive. The writer of the article mocks men for avoiding these contraceptives when female contraceptives have way more side effects to them. I personally disagree with the writer - if male contraceptives were invented before female contraceptives, I believe that males would have no problem using them despite the side effects. What are your thoughts? +This is an old article, that made the Paris accords seem so responsible and dutiful, until Trump revealed that it was a crap deal that took advantage of the US, obligating them to pay way more than other countries. Plus the soonest results of this regulation will not occur for a century, and will be just a blip of difference. It's a scam. +I think they should both be charged with murder. It's obvious at least one of them did it but I'm assuming both. It's crazy what this world has come to people just killing people all the time and usually for no reason. It's crazy and people need to be punished harsher. If you kill someone on person for no reason you should automatically get the death sentence. +I am thankful that there are people who care about this issue, but I really don't. I feel like this is just part of the life-cycle and I don't really get why so much money is being wasted on a problem and isn't necessarily crucial. However, as I said, it's probably good that people who know more about this issue than I do are caring about the problem. +I've been reading about the drastic increase in migrants trying to get from Africa to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea. This year has seen large amounts of people seeking refuge in Europe, and large increases in fatalities for those attempting the crossing. These people are fleeing desperate conditions in hope of a better life and are attempting risky crossings because there are not enough safe ways to migrate. +I think it is crazy that these employees were put through this at Well's Fargo. I have never worked at a bank before, but being told to reach a quota, even by the means of doing illegal tasks to accomplish what they needed to do. I can't imagine coming into working everyday and wondering if I was going to be considered a good or a bad employee. It would infuriate me to have earned a bonus and then be told I cannot have it because I am being developed as an employee. I am glad they decided to make the change. It sounds better for their employees. +It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore. It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore. +After reading how so many people think Trump will ruin this country I think its fair to say some of our most beloved Presidents acted the same why yet we keep them up on pedestals. Today with social media we just see the problems more out in front since nothing is private anymore. I'm older 63 as you know and my mom and granny taught me how to behave. Don't go into a room with some man you don't know. If he tries something tell someone. All these ladies who kept quiet or were paid off in some way are just as big a part of the problem as any man who abuses them. Ladies time for us to take responsible for what happens. +Why were 43 students highjacking buses? That wasn't taught in my school. Bus high-jacking 101. They seriously failed. I am rather doubting that is true though. If the police are willing to give "criminals" over to the drug cartels, I'm pretty sure they aren't above lying about it. One of my coworkers hasn't visited her family in years because their state has become so crime ridden they won't let her come home. They say it isn't safe for her. How stupid sad is that? And God forbid they try to come here to escape that mess. Right wing crazies do not have any compassion for people just trying to live, it seems. +I can't believe what I just read. I read this article about how riot police took down some pipeline protestors in North Dakota. The armed police used such violent and aggressive tactics to take down the protestors. The protestors were Native Americans and environmental activists. Being environmental activist ourselves could you imagine how we would react to being treated this way. They used sonic devices and rubber bullets shooting the protestors in the face. I'm outraged by these actions. This is totally uncalled for and violates several codes of conduct. The cause of the protest was that the pipeline was affecting the local's water supply. I don't blame them for protesting one bit. The actions and the engagement by the riot police of North Dakota was shameful and they should be punished. +We all live in the same America. I believe that we all have the same hopes,dreams and goals. I can understand to some Trump represents the return of jobs and other industry, but to others he is a symbol of hate. I know you voted for him and I know that you are not racist, but can you see how much this has torn the country apart? We both know that the country was not already united as one, but this has made it worst. I do not see it getting any better anytime soon. I hope the country can heel and both sides can work it out. +Positions of power will ALWAYS, inevitably be taken over by a corrupt and greedy type of individual or group of people. Any time you have a person who has authority over another person, eventually things will go bad. Whether it's kings demanding that they get to deflower any bride before her wedding day (as a law) or our own United States government attempting to strip more and more freedoms from us when we're already slaves... These are the acts of corruption. These are the acts of cowardice, scum-bag gangsters that wear suits. +Heyy! Although this story is sad, I found it definitely alarming and should serve as an example on how this obsession with selfies needs to stop. Apparently, a guy was killed by a python because he was trying to take a good selfie. I think he was one of those people who like to take selfies doing something daring +What would we do without friends? Have you ever given it a thought? Friends are there, right by your side, through thick and thin, adding the right flavors to your life -- cheering you up when you're down, laughing with you till you're both on the floor clutching your stomachs, holding your hand when you're not strong enough to face the world... When you are blessed with true friends you can always count on, you can bravely face any storm and tackle obstacles with a smile. +This is the world we live in now. Until we have heavy weapons that are meant for killing like guns, explosives, and machines, we will never have an end in the conflict in Middle East -- or any country for that matter. If it does finish, a lot of people will suffer and die first which is worrisome. Millions and millions of people experience subhuman living conditions and there's nothing we can do. +I am sharing this because I wish people can understand what humans are doing to the environment and how its actually affecting our climate. WE ARE going through climate change, and it seems like the world does not care because there's still pollution and etc. The artic glaciers are melting, waters are getting warmer and people say that's not "global warming". Definitely give this article a read if you are into environmental stuff. +Who cares about North Korea! I hope they all drowned. Waaah they are having a flood and hope the international community responds? Please Billy. Maybe they should stop sending nuclear missiles over other countries. Maybe that fat butch head could eat less and send a couple dollars to the victims. I could care less about North Korea and am highly glad they are getting flooded. Serves them right. +Oh hey, check it out. Another article about the same thing that's been repeated over and over again, but it's not really changing anything. I am just sending it to you because I'm an idiot that doesn't care about what you think. It just goes on and on about meat production and how that's harming the environment. I can't wait for lab grown meat to be the standard, but that's not really in this. So, read away about cow farts. +There was some anti jewish graffitti in my community after trumps election too. I think these jewish feeling were feeling like a lot of us after trumps election, like America wasn't a safe place to be anymore. He opened it up to racism, sexism, and bigotry. Not that those weren't already there, but he made it seem like those were okay. I felt like that as a woman, and I talked to other women who did too, like you. It felt like these people felt, like suddenly it was okay to harrass women, because the president does it too. +Sally Brampton should serve as an example to others. Talk about being forgotten. She demonstrated clear signs of needing help, and the system failed her. What a terrible loss! A successful, intelligent, conflicted woman who was lost way too soon. It is sad to see someone struggle with depression and other mental illnesses. Society needs to do better to help people in need, especially when they are asking for it. IT is a shame what happened to her. +Do you know about Zika virus news ? That like dengue and West Nile virus, this mosquito-spread disease is now going to be a regular fixture — and a perennial risk for pregnant women. The huge bloom of Zika activity in the Americas right now is unprecedented. A longtime US Army scientist who is now semiretired, Halstead believes Zika will vanish in a few years, likely for decades. That’s the way another arbovirus, chikungunya works, he wrote in an article in Emerging Infectious Diseases last year. “The rate at which people are getting infected right now certainly suggests that we’re heading, within a year or two, to achieve sufficient herd immunity for this virus to die out, +I just read a very sad article about a man who recently lose his family from a car accident. The car was hit by someone who lost control while speeding and slammed into the car with the family, causing all of them to die. The person speeding, along with his family were also killed. It's so sad and troubling knowing that someone has to go through such tragedies in life due to other peoples careless mistakes. May God rest their poor souls. +Gun control should be a priority in our country. After reading about children who lost their lives due to gun violence, it's hard to argue that it's way to easy to get your hands on a gun. Americans are much like people all over the world, but we have infinitely more gun deaths, and it's all because of the ease of acquiring those guns. +I really do not understand what has become of our society.Have you heard about the guy who shot several people at the shopping mall?Because of him,six people were injured and three dead and some three people had eye injuries because of the broken glasses.The guy is only 20 from Turkey and guess what,he has been charged with murder because he confessed. +This is the type of thing that really scares me. I would be very interested in viewing this video. How in the world does one shoot their own relatives and two police officers? What gives this person the right to take someone else life? Those people may have had children, mothers, sisters, friends, co-workers, and now they are dead, and for what? How did this individual go so long without being apprehended. Sometimes the system really confuses me and upsets me. I wish they would have caught him sooner and kept him alive so he could explain his actions. +Hey, I know you asked me about what happened to that mother and her baby in New York and here's the full article. It's so sad...that baby could have lived their life to the fullest and now it's cut short. The mother will have to grieve over what happened to...It's so sad that things like this happen. +I am so sick and tired of Donald Trump. He has no idea what he is doing. He is making America a laughing stock to the world. He is a puppet. He is a big man baby who cannot take criticism or do a job right. He's not as rich as he says. He does what he wants and figures money will take care of it all. I cannot wait till he is out of office. +The move comes after Human Rights Watch published a report detailing accounts by dozens of women and girls who said they were sexually abused or coerced into sex. The women said they were raped or abused by camp leaders, vigilante group members, policemen and soldiers at camps in Borno State's capital, Maiduguri. The camps were set up to offer aid to people displaced by fighting in Nigeria's northeast. Nigeria's Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has set up a special team "to immediately commence thorough Investigation into all cases of alleged sexual abuses, exploitation, harassments, gender-based violence and professional misconduct," a statement from the inspector general's office said Thursday. Police: Security at camps to be beefed up Some of the victims had escaped captivit +Here is another example of domestic gun violence that is happening in america. I know that you feel very strongly about this issue and figured that you might want to read this article that I found. It is such a sad story, and until we get the guns off the street, these stories are just going to keep coming up. +Veterans deserve all the support from this nation. They put in risk their lives for us, for our freedom and security. Most of the people have no idea what those people have seen and experienced in a war zone, or the toll that these experiences can take on an individual, matter how strong they are, I'm sure they have suffered traumatic experience, and they really need help before their battles. +So I just read another article where a teacher compared President Trump to Adolph Hitler. And the teacher had the nerve to say that his lesson plans are always "factually based". The last time I checked, Donald Trump has not interred 15 million Jews to concentration camps where he has killed them. Typical liberal Democrat with so much hyperbole. Teachers need to stick to teaching the facts and not interjecting their opinions into their lessons. +This makes me very upset. They don't want to take responsibility, blames it on something else. It's clearly your fault and you should feel guilty for killing all these people. They have every right to sue you for your stupid mistake. We live in a world with idiots. Next time you take the car to work, remember that you can't count yourself to be safe if you are careful. +This story I have read was heart breaking! Two men were shot, one twice in the stomach and the other shot in the back. Sadly no weapons were recovered and no arrests were made causing me to worry the person that did this is free. This upsets me worried for myself and others, hoping to protect the community from the criminal gun man still at large. The two men were taken to the hospital, hoping for a speedy recovery for them and comfort for their families after this tragic incident! The terrible time they must all be going through now. Worrying and stressing over this unthinkable situation. I sure do hope the person responsible is found and arrested quickly, to keep our community safe from additional attacks and to to get him the help he needs. Not to mention time in prison. Certainly right +Some of the drivers around this place need to be taken out of their cars and arrested. Some people were struck on Highway 80 near Chunky. Some kids were involved. I think three people died. They were riding on the back of a trailer celebrating Halloween. A vehicle collided with the trailer probably a drunk. I think they were just in a hurry like everyone else around here. I guess that driver is going to get it. +I just read an article about wind turbines killing birds. I hadn't ever thought about it before, but it makes a lot of sense. It's just curious that in trying to be "green," were actually hurting part of the ecology. Apparently, hundreds of thousands of birds are being killed annually. Worst of all, they are killing Golden Eagles, an endangered species! It's just really sad. +Gosh, who would do something as horrible as kill an innocent animal (and a baby at that)? However, I am glad that the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group and the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign set up a reward to catch whoever did that. I was also happy to see that it was an immediate response, not a delayed one. It's sad that people won't come forward on their own to bring justice and that there has to be a monetary incentive. +I really am sick of these pseudo scientists running around screaming the sky is falling. It is a load of garbage science. The take a snapshot of the earth, a vastly complicated system with millions of variables that is in constant flux and motion. They plug this into a model with a couple of hundred hand picked variables and pronounce that we are all doomed. It is bad science and everyone knows it. +Ugh have you seen what's going on in New Delhi? The air pollution over there is horrible and so many people are getting seriously sick! They are calling the city a gas chamber because the air quality is so bad. I'm so glad we don't have to deal with that around here but I really feel for all of the children who are being affected by all of this. I can't imagine how helpless parents feel when there's nothing they can do to help their kids. +This ticks me off for two reasons: One, that we've messed up the Australian ecosystem so badly, and two, that people are going to read it and say "Oh, no, it wasn't climate change at all, so we don't have to do anything to fix it." Either way, it was man-made problems that did this little guy in. I wish they would blame it thoroughly on climate change, so people would maybe be spurred to do something. Instead, right now they'll say "Oh, it wasn't *really* climate change," and when a more clear-cut extinction happens, they'll point back to this and say "Well, it's been going on for a long time now, nothing we can do." Christ. +So, I was reading recently about how Kenya deported a South Sudan opposition official. despite threats against him, they deported him as tensions rose over peacekeeping efforts. Kenyan authorities have reacted super angrily to a U.N. decision this week to dismiss the Kenyan general in charge of the peacekeeping force there, for failing to protect civilians during a recent outbreak of violence. +I think it's so rude when people mock government officials and get so full of them selves over politics. It really just burns me up that people can't get along in regards to it. I hate reading about politics in general and it is even worse when you have to read about grown adults bickering and arguing over it all. Joe Walsh and Diana Duckworth both are very immature. What do you think? +it funny how people do stupid things that just pop into their mind like taking a topless selfie while driving just to send it to the other person . seriously if u want to do that just park the car at the site and do it , it not ur live that u are putting in danger ,it also other ppl live thatu can easily ruined if u dont drive carefully +I've never heard of this person or this talk show, have you? Mostly I find this stuff kind of boring, and although it's sad for people to lose their jobs, this happens all the time, and to people who have probably earned a lot less than these people, and who have a lot less prospects of being reemployed. Shows are cancelled all the time, so I get kind of annoyed with this kind of news. +An article that I just read is really pretty disturbing. It speaks of the tremendous droughts in the river areas of Bolivia. It's bad enough because it is just a natural disaster situation, but the fact that there was also mismanagement involved is particularly troubling. The government failed to properly care for the canals. The article also speaks of selling off many of its wild animals. This might become a very serious problem given the fact that some of the animals are endangered species such as the wild dog. They are also looking at selling off elephants, lions and pythons. Even if they do this, how much of the money will ever actually reach its citizens to help them? +it is too bad that so many people still deny that polution and man made climate change is destroying our natural world. it makes me wonder what will be left for my grandchildren to enjoy of our natural world. in my life i have noticed the degredation of the ourdoors to a fair extent and it is only accelerating. woe to mankind. +This is horrifying. You're just going about your business, then someone takes issue with you, and suddenly you're dead. Maybe you didn't even interact with them and they just decided to kill you for fun. It's deeply troubling and makes you suspicious of every stranger on the street. I also feel bad for those who had to witness this and didn't have time to do anything to stop it. I'd imagine some feel guilty even though they couldn't have helped. +The outer boom which was put in place to contain the spilled oil had broke free on Friday causing the oil to spread and bad weather had prevented clean up crews from working on the spill for four consecutive days. By Saturday, salvage crews had recovered more than 40 percent of the 200,000 liters of fuel estimated to be in the vessel, but the damage had already been done. +Hey, Josh here is another example of total insanity in a nation that has taken millions of jobs from people around the world but refuses to give any serious consideration to the health and welfare of its citizens. These people are pawns and the sad thing is no one there has the will to fix any of the sanitation problems or air quality issues. What is so hard about it? Maybe they should start eating some of their relatives, you know, cattle. +Damaging the Amazon rain forest, one of the most iconic and well-known rain forests known to man, just to get oil is simply inexcusable. The US's hunt for crude oil is coming with disastrous consequences and needs to be rectified. By tearing down the Amazon trees, hurtful greenhouse gases are rising into the air, damaging the air quality around us. Corporations shouldn't be able to hurt the environment like this. It makes me angry. +If it's not bad enough that the father is a child molester who molested his own child, the mother had the nerve to join in on the abuse. I doubt very serious if she was forced to do it as she could have divorced him or left him rather commit such a heinous crime and money is no excuse. I wouldn't molest my child for all the money in the world. These people were just sicking perverse sorry excuses for human beings. +I don't know how they do it. They get abused in their own country, then abused by orgs that are supposed to help. I simply don't know why they would want to live. They are very strong. No org HAS to help them but if they sign up to help- then help. I think some are doing the best they can to help. However- more has to be done- Animals can't be left this way, so why can people? +Just when you think you have heard enough crazy Donald Trump stories this one takes the cake. I just read about a mother from Fresno Texas who not only kicked her elementary son out of the house for voting in a mock school election for Donald Trump she also videotaped it. Well, of course, the video went viral. The Fort Bend County Texas sheriff's department went to check out the situation and the child seemed to be in good health. The mother made the child stand on the street corner with a sign telling why he was kicked out of the house. The mother claims now that it was only a joke. I hope the child is not permanently scarred from this incident. +As if our immigration problem couldn't get any worse! Now Haitian immigrants are going through Mexico to show up at the Cali border! I hope they all get deported. Immigrants are nothing but a plague on this country, for the most part, save the elite ones we get from areas of Asia. The Haitians would do nothing to stimulate our economy, would all end up on public assistance, and would cost taxpayers like you and me! We really can't afford to keep letting them stream into the country, but the good news is that most of them are being booted. We just need to change "MOST" to "ALL" because there is nothing good that can come of letting them in the country!! +Remember that you where telling me about how you were having trouble sleeping lately? Maybe you should take a look at this article that I found online about sleep paralysis and what it is all about and how it is affecting this guy. I hope that it can help you out a little bit with what you have been going through. +Awww, this story is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine what this family is going through. Did you see this? I am hopeful that they can find peace. If something like this happened to me, I do not know what I would do. I guess that this just reminds us that life is precious and we should appreciate what we have! +It's just so distressing to read about the negative effects we constantly have on defenseless animals. Human beings need to be more respectful of the planet and its native biodiversity. I just finished reading an article about an endangered species in the Gulf called the Vaquita that is slated to be extinct by 2022 due to nothing beyond happening to be in the water where people are fishing. It's just so thoughtless, so shortsighted, and so frustratingly preventable. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading the most heartbreaking article. I read the story of a man, Wesley O'Dell, and his wife finding a tortured dead kitten on the side of the road. The kitten was wrapped in electrical cords and its jaw was ripped apart. The body was already stiff when they found it. Now O'Dell and his wide are asking people to share the story as an attempt to bring awareness to animal abuse and try to prevent it in the future. +This article is interesting. I guess there is risk with everything and now men concieved through IVF may have trouble conceiving themselves. I'm glad I didn't have to go the IVF route, although I guess it's not a sure thing that the men conceived through IVF will have a lower sperm count, but I guess the risk is higher. I don't think there are too many people that know about this information. it's the first time I've ever heard of it. +So, a man in china, put a chopstick into his penis. Yeah, you heard me. He wanted to see if he had an infection or something, and instead of being a normal person, and going to the doctor, he decided to self examine and see what he could find. He ended up having to have surgery to remove the chopstick out of hiis penis. What would possess a man, to do such a thing?, The only thing I can think of after reading this story,, is about how real mental ilness is.. There is no other excuse in my opinion on why someone so masochistic. I mean, the doctors said, any further , and he would have killed himself. It hurst me just thinking about this. +I read an article about Typhoon Meranti. The article said the storm passed by Taiwan without actually hitting the island, which I suppose was a good thing, because evidently there was another storm in 2009, Typhone Morakot, that killed a bunch of people and did billions of dollars of damage. I'm glad I don't live somewhere where there's any inclement weather like that, it must be miserable to live on an island where it's hot and crowded. +People working in Financial institutions or banks should be honest and do what is morally right. Workers who opened fake accounts should be fired, that is unethical. No one would be expecting such a huge scam at Wells Fargo. I am deeply saddened, I have an account with Wells Fargo. I have to be paying close attention to my account, one never knows when something will go wrong. +Hey buddy. I think this article made me worried about this Zika situation. It is spreading with such vigor like never before and it kills very fast. I think the whole world needs to be on alert and health scientists need to be working hard to try and eradicate this disease. It's gonna take some time but something needs to be done +Thats really heartbreaking to read the story about the man who lost his family in a car crash. I think people who street race are acting very dangerously for now reason and it is usually very stupid young males who do this. I dont know what sense to make out of this since the woman and her children did not seem to do anything to deserve this. Maybe it takes stories like this to make us realize how p[precious life is and how careful we must be +These numbers leave little room to think that climate change is not happening. As you know, I firmly believe in the importance of environmental protections and think climate change is a problem. However, articles like this only add to the problem. These numbers are shocking on the surface but could easily be explained by natural fluctuations year to year. I wish they would focus on balanced science instead. +I kind of think this article was written in a tongue-in-cheek manner especially when you read that last line--what a pun! If there is any truth to it, though, what could possible cause these kinds of chemical burns on a shampoo product that should be thoroughly tested when mixed with water in the shower. How could it even happen like that? Is there actual lye in these bottles? I guess we'll find out when the case goes to trial. +Wow - I don’t know what I’d do in this situation. How sad for these people. They have to leave everything behind, and they really don’t have a lot of options. I feel really sad for the children. It’s like they have no home. What a mess. I wish the middle east wasn’t so violent. I don’t understand all the hate. +This article I just read talks about another mass shooter. Well, not so much mass shooter like some of the recent ones, but they did open fire in public and kill 5 people. I can't help but feel disgusted that these things still happen. I really hope that this guy gets what he deserves, because this has to stop. +I'm sorry....I don't mean to laugh...but.....this was TOO MUCH. I hate to admit that I found it a little bit funny, but at the same time, I feel sorry that this man was this ignorant to do this to himself. Now he's going to have to go through so much more stuff, when in all likeliness, a simple urine test probably would have been performed to find a solution to the issue to begin with. +no matter what your heritage, you should be able to serve your country. her thai heritage shouldn't preclude her and shouldn't have been an issue in this debate. tammy duckworth and her family should be congratulated on the services they have provided to this country. any type of racism should not be allowed in a debate +Man how sad, that is terrible to imagine what the poor dog went through. I don't think we should hate the guy too much, even though he should definitely face consequenes. Ultimately I am sure he's really heart broken about what happened to the dog, and it was just a mistake not like some negelectful, hateful act. +I just read an article about suicide, it was really sad. It started off talking about a 12 year old girl who was interested in suicide groups online. One day she went to school, or so her mother thoght. The mother recieved a phone call from the channel A&E notifiing her that her daughter had took her own life. The article went on to say how Russia was third in the world in suicides. It was a really sad article. +This article was about the disturbing finds by the Iraqi military as they re-captured territory from retreating Islamic State fighters. They found mass graves of people killed by ISIS and although there is some confusion about the details, there are dozens or maybe over 100 bodies. There is also evidence of torture. The ISIS fighters were certainly brutal towards their victims, and have captured many more to use as human shields or to kill outright for their perceived beliefs. +We live in a world someone can not only be arrested for their thoughts, but can be seen as a target for violence from monsters. From the shooter, to the local government, these actions should be condemned on all fronts. The government was wrong to arrest the deceased, and the murderer was of course wrong for shooting him to death . I am saddened that someone lost his life because of his charge of a charged message. While I do feel glad that apparent justice will be served in this case, this just goes to show you how violent some people can become when you toss religious ideals into the mix. +This is so sad. Something needs to be done for these refugees. People need to be more accepting of them. People shouldn't be afraid of letting them into their country, they are just people who need help. I feel so bad for the babies, children and mothers on these boats. It's horrifying to imagine drowning in the sea, especially from the eyes of a child. +There was more bombing over in Syria in the news over the weekend. There were over 300 casualties including small children. A father and son were found dead in the rubble as well as two boys whose mother survived in an adjoining room. It seems like the violence in the Middle East is never ending. +I honestly cant remember what i read. I walked away for a drink and came back and i completely forgot. Reading these articles like this in succession is tedious and makes the stories asll run together making the retention of the story hard to keep. I would have reread the article if i could and there was an option to +The person was robbed the money at gun point and escaped from that place. The victim calls the 911 and the police investigation the victim and gathered some information about the criminal. Then they are start to search the criminal.The victim calls the 911 and the police investigation the victim and gathered some information about the robbery. +wow sleep paralysis sounds so scary! I hope that this never happens to me ! I think that It was affect me for a long time . I'm sure that those few short seconds that is happens seems like hours . I would probably have a heart attack from being so scared. Yeah no thank you on any of that . I will be making sure I don't drink before going to bed from now on. +Just read another "EPA" article promoting its usual bull shit. This time its the "a la The Simpsons fish with 3 heads" where a scientist is taking a picture of his ONE deformed Salmon he cought and wants the entire world to flip out about his 1 mutated fish. Well, ever seen a 4 leaf clover? Thats "mutated" as well right? +Thinking about water contamination is a scary thought. When that can effect our children it makes things even worse. The crisis in Flint is unacceptable and to hear about the drinking fountain in Chicago makes things even worse. It makes you think that major improvements need to made across the US. New laws need to be put in place to ensure everyone is getting healthy water. +I just read an article about Susan Sarandon asking people to put their money where their mouth is in regards to the Dakota Access Pipeline. While I don't agree with her position, I do agree with that statement. If people want to whine about it, they should step up and help instead of crying on social media. +See? This is why sometimes I rather ignore the news. Shootings over there, people dead over here, drugs, etc. It makes me sick the kind of world we live in. Hundreds of deaths just because they thought these people were related to drug dealing? I mean, did they even had some kind of proof? Why shoot to kill? Why not stick to the laws and put them in jail if they were found guilty? +I found a story about Kate Beckinsale and her husband, Len Wiseman, they have pulled the plug on their marriage ... TMZ has learned. Wiseman cited irreconcilable differences. His docs state both he and Kate have waived any right to spousal support, and that suggests there's a prenup. They were married in 2004 and have no kids together. TMZ broke the story ... the couple's marriage was on the rocks last November. Len was spotted out with model CJ Franco, and Kate we seen shortly after -- sans wedding ring -- on the red carpet. +did you hear about that Indian girl from Kashmir who got blinded by the government with pellet guns that have sharp edges. She wasn't doing anything but standing by a window. These corrupt governments are so evil. Kashmir is being fought over and innocent people are being killed and hurt. It really is disgusting what these governments are doing. +Hey I just read this article about more craziness ISIS is doing? Sometimes the articles have so many names of places I don't recognize and can't pronounce that I get a little off track of the point of the article. I gues those terrorists are using people as human shields to keep and take control or surroundings areas. They know this is against UN policy, but I doubt they care. There is always something going on in the Middle East, it seems nothing gets better for the people just trying to live. I feel like something should be done to improve the situation, but it's been bad since I was a kid and I doubt it'll get better. +I can't believe people spend their money doing that kind of parties. I think its not correct to be extremist in how much we support a president. White supremacists are dangerous people with crazy ideology. They promote horrible values to their sons and to the society, they are not respectful with other races and that hurt the society, specially here in United States that is a multi-cultural country. This groups should disappear from the map as soon as possible! Their ideology is useless in a country like this. +Wow. So sad to see yet another species on the way to extinction. It's crazy to think that there's only 60 of one species left in the world. I know that it was the same way with the white rhino - it was like we knew it was coming, but we were completely unable to stop it, because it was just too late. I wonder if they could keep them in captivity. +People often think of what it must be like to be in the 1% and be ultra successful. But often times we forget about the many pressures and responsibilities that come a long with that. Take Mikhail Lesin for example. The man was very well know and successful and look what happened to him he wound up dead just like everyone else. Now, the conclusion is that it was an accident, but the type of people and industries and location of the world leaves a lot of speculation. I guess thats a price you have to pay if you make enemies in the world. You are either looking over your shoulder all the time or completely stressed to death. What a world. +So I just read that article about Alexandria Vera. I know you know who she is, and I know the lawyer in you just wants to get in that case. I mean, can you imagine the nerve of a teacher to exploit a minor in that way. She deserves more than 30 years, if you ask me. And the parents of the minor ought to have been charged with something. That is disgraceful. I mean, what is happening in America today? Some of the things I read about make me sick! +This shooting is a good example of how black people and people w are wrongly prosecuted by the police. Now in this articles this gentlemen is getting a re-trial since they concur that he didn't do such thing and basically had the police lying to the judge. Now he can be fairly be judged and not be discriminated +Did you see the article about the attack in the mall in MI? Can you imagine, just minding your own business, and then this guy dressed as a security guard starts stabbing people, yelling something about Allah??? Thank GOD there was an off duty cop there to stop him, or imagine how long he could have gone on for? This is getting crazy. We've gotta do something. I don't want to be worried about my safety just going to the mall. +This is surprising news. First, how the news always make us believe that when a cop dies, is because of a black person (or someone who is not white), making race a big thing again. Number two, I am not saying that is good that people are dead, but instead, I am saying that not a lot of them are dead. And for those who are not dead, we should think about them, provide them with better guide, counseling and stuff like that, they go through traumatic events at work +What a shame. I wish the article went more into detail about what happened to the actress and the guy she was with. I'm assuming they just broke in and then used tear gas on the couple? How did they escape from the masked men? Or did the masked guys just steal stuff and then leave? I'm not sure what the gun laws in France are but these reports would make me feel uneasy there. +I feel sad yet again to here about more crimes against the native americans. The pipeline is disgusting and will no doubt result in leaks that contaminate water. It is good that people are protesting but I don't feel it will end up working. There is oil there and they will kill people if they need to just like they do in every other country. +I just don't understand how this is the country that we all say we love and adore, but yet when others come here there are so many stipulations for them, and then even when they succeed at jumping through all of the hoops they are forced to, they have even more guidelines behind that. It's just so unfortunate that these refugees will feel unsafe and ultimately feel like refugees for the rest of their lives. +I am so bothered and upset about the elementary school teacher that was charged with child pornography. I cannot believe a trusted individual would commit such a heinous crime involving children! This infuriates me to my core that someone could hurt innocent children this way! Does this make you just as mad? I really feel for those parents of the children involved and hope that it does not do permanent damage to all those sweet babies! +Gosh, the emotions I felt while reading that. Being a nurse, I would be so scared of such a mass emergency and worrying about it people would make it or not. It disgusts me that innocent people would be used as human shields. How could someone do that to someone else? And they purposely brought them into the center of the city with the intention of using them as human shields. +Hey buddy. Did you hear about this weird disease that is spreading amongst the frog population? Apparently it's a disease that happens due to people having ponds in their house. I worry what this disease could do to the local population of frogs. Tell anyone who has a pond to becareful with what they are moving in and out of their ponds. +How terrible it would be to live your life knowing you murdered someone. It would be interesting to speak to somebody, who was maybe sixty or seventy, and had murdered someone as a young person, what they would have to say about it, how they feel about it and what they've learned, having killed someone, about themselves and society. +I can't believe that this happened. Can you imagine what it must be like to flee from something so incredibly dangerous and then lose your life at sea or see people die while you're escaping? I wonder sometimes what must possess refugees to do this. Is there no other way for them to escape? Why do they risk their lives when they know the numbers of people who die in situations like this? It must be awful where they are coming from for them to risk it all. I mean, look at that star soccer player. She was like royalty in her country and a celebrated athlete. If even she took the risk and died, what must it be like for other people? +This is so disturbing. It says that they are killing chickens that are still awake during it. It's like they like torturing them. Why can't we be like Europe? In Europe they have rules on how this is supposed to be done. No we just let companies do whatever they like. How hard it is to kill something and make sure it's not awake while doing so? +I feel pretty indifferent about this kind of thing overall. It’s not fair to the men, but at the same time society has been conditioned in such a way that we have a higher demand for female models and lower demand for male models. Society is unfair in a lot of ways, and this is one of the few ways where women benefit over men. +Yo. I hope that you are ready to read a long ass article about things that both did not make a difference in the election and things that enough people decided did not fucking matter. It's another take on "look at what an asshole trump is" It's totally true, but nothing changed because of things like this so I don't see the reason of rehashing it. Trump's a real mother fucker, but he was a white man, so enough assholes voted for him. Anyway, please enjoy yet another garbage article. +I think that everyone should be aware of the people that they touch. There are times whenever we take others for granted. I think that we don't always tell each other about what their lives mean to us. I know that it is tough growing up alone in a world without others. I know that it is tough to make lasting friends. +I thought that this article was something very hurtful to read. I was reading about the fire and what happened to the place that these people live and it said that these people got hurt and injured and I felt very bad for them. I wish that there was a way that everyone could help along to. The people should be more careful about the fire and see the safety next time. +The article was about corruption at the International Monetary Fund, specifically the wrongdoing of former boss Rodrigo Rato. The banking industry is rife with issues like this, so it comes as no surprise that someone was trying to take advantage of the system even in an international organization like the IMF. The problem is that we do not have enough prosecutors that are willing to take on the banking industry and put them in their place. I'm tired of constantly hearing about people getting away with white collar crimes. +I don't really feel much of anything when I read about this sort of incident since it happens all the time, I guess if I had to come up with something I would say I feel vaguely annoyed and irritated, I don't see why people can't manage to watch sports games in an orderly, non-violent manner, so the fact that we have to deal with this nonsense every time a popular sporting event happens is irritating. I think that it should not be difficult for people to conduct themselves appropriately, so it is frustrating that this sort of thing happens so often during sporting and other events. +The fact that all Trump has to say when asked about his supporters being violent is "Stop it." Is laughable. Yet when he is asked his opinion on minorities like muslims or hispanics, he can go on for days. Him and his supporters have worms in their brains or something. There's no way any logical person capable of rationality would agree with half the things he says. +I can't even imagine what it would be like to be minding our own business in a club and then having someone come in and shoot you. This must have been terrifying for this person. I certainly hope they did not lose their life and I also hope this is not an incident that leads to further problems in the future. +Nothing gets to me more than hearing about hungry children. Nobody should go hungry. There's so much food in this world. It breaks my heart to hear about kids fainting in school because they've only had one meal for the day. I wish there was a way to help these kids more directly. I'm not one to give to large non-profit organizations but I feel so bad for these kids. +We need to make sure these brave people have more resources. Government needs to realize the value of animal tourism and do more to stop poaching. Once these precious animals are gone, there will be no bringing them back. We need to do more to make sure this does not happen. Poaching is a huge problem in Africa and penalties need to be severe +This is so sad guys. :( I can't believe this, I never knew how far reaching climate change actually was. These poor turtles are dying because of the temperature changes. Please do something, write your local senator so we can start to reverse this. We need to get back into the climate accords and become a leader in environmental sustainability, instead of what we have been doing. +I hear the British Government is looking to drill for oil again. This time they are looking to drill near the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda. Everyone is so dependent on oil all the time. Too bad for some giraffes that live there as they will be displaced. Of course I could really care less about giraffes 5000 miles away from me. Still I wish the giraffes the best I suppose. Brits are such weasels it figures they would look to kill a bunch of giraffes for their own selfish gains. Governments all stink. +Really? How are these people allowed to have children? Its really not that hard to not poison your child is it? I mean it shouldn't be, but maybe these people are high on their own drugs so they don't notice their kids are getting into them. Its really sad and something should certainly be done. +I think the girl may be as spy for another country. She sells the important information to another government. It may be leads to sever problem to the Pakistan Government. So, the Police Action is correct. The Police must be gathered from the girl. First thing is the girl did not the authorized person for enter this office. This is the first criminal activity. She theft the important information from the office. This is the severe criminal activity. So, the Girl must be punished severe. This is the big problem for the Government. +I just heard that the Editor of Elle magazine killed herself. It is always sad when someone take their own life. What makes this one worse than the usual is that there were chances that she could have been helped but she was turned away. They said that she was "over the worst of it" but other evidence suggests that she was not. To me it seems like people did not want to deal with her for some reason or they were on a small budget and could not afford to treat her so they turned her away. Very sad and very messed up that you turn away someone whop wants helpa dn they then kill themselves. The system needs to be fixed. +Here we go again, talking about political figures forging and waging war for the popular vote. They switch sides and change their point of view so much that it is easy to say they don't care about the common person, only their chair in office. I think that the parties have merged into one, one mass all out war to get into office. +Wow, did you hear what happened to Mallika Sherawat in France? She was gassed and beaten and robbed. That is unbelievable! So scary and it could happen to anyone everywhere. She is lucky to be alive. It is sad though that this story got mixed in with politics because it wasn't even about Clinton, or Obama or Trump. +It was sort of sadly ironic to see the part in there about "we don't think he'll win" considering what followed. All of it, sadly, still rings true, day after day. There's been no apology, only a doubling down on the kind of bile, arrogance, and ignorance that was on display since day one. I feel bad for every woman in the country who has to live with someone like that as their president. +New wildfires across Appalachia! Thought I'd share this with you after our discussion about California wild fires. This one is huge in the Appalachian mountains and seems to be spreading. It can also be seen from space! Hopefully everyone gets out safe and the firefighters are all able to contain it safely. Thinking of you! +This is a nice story - people have some level of need to protect nature and protecting birds is an excellent way of giving back, especiailly since some are endangered. I have to commend this person for trying really hard to protect one species, and for committing to it. I myself would have a difficult time choosing what to hel pwith - but this person doesnt! +I read an interesting article online about Russia again. Apparently one of Putins former aids had just died outside of a hotel in D.C., that is really crazy and scary. Apparently a lot of people are thinking that this could be foul play and it wouldn't be a surprise since the Russian government is known for doing this sort of thing all the time. He was apparently fixing to cut a deal with the federal government which would have angered the Russian government so I bet they killed him off so that they could avoid him giving away information to the federal government. +After reading this story I think the right decision was made. It seems to me that the man had no reason to shoot at those kids just because they were playing loud music. Sure music can be annoying but no one deserves to be shot over it. I don't think that any changes need to be made to the stand your ground laws. This was a simple case of someone making poor choices and now needs to pay the price for their actions. +This day and age, there is a tremendous amount of evidence showing that climate change is real. In this new reality, how will life react. Do species have the ability to adapt and thrive in new clients or will they disappear. What will happen to humans as well? More studies need to be done in order to figure out not if we can stop climate change, but how will it affect us all. +This story specifically doesn't make me feel anything, since I don't know these people and I feel like if I tried to have emotions for every victim of a crime I read about that would just require too much mental effort. In a broader sense however, I feel frustrated and tired of having to deal with men committing acts of violence against women constantly simply because they can, especially in cases like this where there didn't seem to be much prior warning. It's irritating because it is such an awful trend, so it makes me feel sort of disgusted with the state of the world in that way. +It deeply saddens me to think that a mother could leave her child on a porch and abandon it. I feel some anger towards the mother for abandoning her young, defenseless child. The child is very lucky to have been found by kind strangers who were able to deliver it to safety. I hope that the child will be adopted into a loving family and will be given a solid upbringing. +The article that I read was about these architects that are building things and they are kindof looking at the tactics for buildings and their tools that are used to build the buildings. They want to see what will be safer and allow the people to make better buildings. There was a recent mishap that caused several people to die and it was related to the building issues. +It’s a shame that Nevada is going through this. It is a beautiful state. I really feel for the reservations. They have no where to go. They rely on water as a way of life. They have animals that need water. I don’t really know what can be done. Maybe we should address climate change. It is definitely happening. +It is sad that children are still dying from measles. According to UNICEF, there is a simple vaccine that can be given, which would stop children from being affected. It affects most children in poor countries, which is very sad. The vaccine isn’t that expensive and you would think that the leaders of all countries would get together and do something about this problem. It is not just up to the USA to stand up and do something. These other countries (even though they are poor) need to get more educated and help protect their own children and citizens in their own country. It is sad that children and others have to die because we can’t coordinate with each other, to get the vaccines to those who need it most. I feel sorry for those families who have suffered the loss of a child due +I just read an article about an infant orangutan, that was so sad. There had been several orangutans rescued from an illegal dealer. They were taken to a rescue center. The infant orangutan all of a sudden collapsed in her cage. She has meningitis which can be deadly for her. She is getting amazing care at this center though, so I sure hope she pulls through. I have no extra money right now but you can donate to this organization! +It doesn't matter what country you live in. The powerful will always stomp on the weak. Expecting anything from your government or your party is pointless unless you have some amount of influence. Politics have not stopped war, poverty, disease, crime, or anything else. It simply is a way to subjugate mass amounts of people no differently than in olden times. They keep painting a pretty picture, and we all live in this illusion that life can be great here or there. But that is because there is not enough focus on the horrible things happening under our noses, even in our own neighborhoods. People are wretched, and those who rise to power will continue to be the most retched as they sell themselves out to any donor, or support that will keep them in power. +I am really shocked by our current healthcare system. I just read an article that informed me that something as simple of hand washing can prevent hundreds of deaths and disability for US infants. Why isn't this common knowledge. I am really disappointed. It may not be a majority of children who are at-risk or afflicted, but for the few children who are , this information would have been everything. +As I read this article, I felt a bit nervous and alarmed at India's tiger population, even though this is in India but still. Hopefully, the Tigers will be better protected in the future and people will stop trying to kill them or dial it down at least. I wish India's tigers the best in their protection and survival. +I find this article to be stupid. It talks about how Trump supporters are attacking actors from the show Silicon Valley. I'm not a Silicon Valley fan and I do not know who those actors are, but I believe that if there were ever to be a fight that escalates due to differing political opinion, I would just walk up and leave. +Regardless of what scientists believe the earth is warming. I think that people are constanstly always trying to come up with reasons as to what is happening with the earth, but these people are trying to pick this ladys research apart. Also, I am not sure how sexual harassment plays into the article, but that is a big deal in the US. People get harassed way to often in the workplace with nothing being done. +It's kind of amazing how little we knew what was going on back then. There have certainly been a lot of changes since that day. I think we can all take comfort in the fact that the world didn't end that day. Even with crazy people in charge the earth's people seem to be capable of keeping us all on the right track. I mainly worry about my own self now. +I just read that poaching of rhinos for ivory has gotten so bad in South Africa that they've begun expanding and now have anti-poacher armies. I say good for them. The animals can't fight back, but hopefully the army can deter poachers. I know the poachers do it because they can make a lot of money, but I just don't understand it. Big game hunters/trophy hunters and poachers are one in the same to me. I think they are both ridiculous reasons to harm or kill any animal. The anti-poaching armies have a scary, but, I think, extremely necessary job. +I felt that reading the excerpt from the article was sad and had me feeling distraught to an extent. I know it's just an article but hearing about all the bad in the world is just an assured way to get a poor start to the day. I was mostly wondering what the situation was where Richard Hong was killed in the Los Angeles home. Whos home was it and why was George Stroumbolopoulos there. I'd like to know the more intricate details of what went down in this crime. Was it a murder of passion or was it cold blooded. Was it in the moment or was it calculated. What will happen now, hopefully and investigation can uncover this. +Hey, man, don't know if you saw this report on the news, but this article is pretty messed up. Those poor people were just trying to have a good time and then all hell broke lose. I remember seeing the news reports and the images were pretty shocking, but the story in this article takes it to another level. You should read it. These poor people are going to get paid for sure. it is funny how the owner had to invoke "God" trying to protect his own ass. +Apparently ISIS is still prevalent in Pakistan.. There have been numerous attacks on the public and a police academy. As bad as this group is for some reason I don't find them to be that big of a threat to Americans. At least not the ones here at home. By the way wasn't donald trump suppose to get rid of ISIS completely? +I am rather turned off by the fact that California allows the water supply to be so construed for people. Very sad to see people in central California go through what Flint, Michigan went through with poor water conditions and I'd hate to be in the political sphere there. It would be good to see organizations working within the region to bring residents quality water. +Those poor little babies. This is just going to keep happening more and more. The rate of human caused extinctions is going up at a scary rate. I know pandas and polar bears are kind of the face of conservation, but they're not the only cute animals out there. And even the ones that aren't cuties matter! Extinction is such a huge, huge deal. +What this article taught me was that heartbreaks are not the end of the world. Yes, they are NOT. Just because that one precious person left us we start living with an emotion that our life has come to an end. Life isn't ending at all, each day is a new beginning, with new people waiting for us out there. As you move forward, life will remove many people from your life just because they aren't required and you can actually reach your destination. Your life has just begun, nobody stops moving, the sun still rises and the sun still sets. +Wow. I can imagine being in that man's shoes. It sounds as if his son could have been more disturbed than originally thought at the other arrest. I would be devastated if I felt so threatened by my own child that I had to resort to violence. I mean, how terrible it must be! Though details aren't completely clear, it sounds as if the son had some issues that weren't completely dealt with and it resulted in some sort of confrontation with his dad. How terrible to have to carry this with him the rest of forever. It would break my heart in two. I hope he gets deep counseling for his grief and guilt. Perhaps if the son had, it wouldn't have happened. More's the pity. +This bsi truly disturbing, I don't understand how someone could ever do that to an animal let alone a small kitten. There are truly some very disturbed peopel on this planet and the person who did this should be punished severely. This si not an act of violence it is an act of malice. The person who did this will go on to do other terrible things in the futurw +I feel bad for these sisters' family. Until we find out more from the autopsy report though, we probably shouldn't jump to conclusions. I don't know much about what could cause pulmonary edema, but maybe it was due to something they both ate, or an infection that they both came down with, or something unrelated to foul play. +The people who will lose homes because of this should be fully compensated and be fully relocated with full government assistance and be transfered to a different location that is still nearby their old homes that will be razed. It's just not fair if they will be leaving these people homeless and will probably have a hard time coping with the loss of their house if this plan gets approved. +I really didn't realize how quickly climate change could have an effect on certain areas of the world. I do believe that climate change is being caused by humans to a good extent, but I'm not sure if negative impacts will come as quickly as some people speculate. It's very interesting but I am concerned for the safety of some people if things continue this way. +I can't believe that these vultures would take advantage of individuals in predicaments where they were desperate and had to take out a high volume of loans in order to earn a better living, in their mind. I understand the concept, but the actual intent of the administrators of ITT Tech and other for-profit schools is devastating with regards to actually helping student's +I completely agree with what the quotes in the article. Things in this country are awful and unsafe for minorities. Things need to change. The entire country and justice system are set in racism. I wish people who claim they "don't care for politics" or support "blue lives" would actually stop to listen to what these people have to say. +We should all try to do more to decrease global warming for the sake the polar bear population and for our own human population as well. Please read this article about the polar bears and the problems they face and issues that they must endure related to global warming. The article is very descriptive and explains the issues very well. It is worth reading and sharing with others to bring exposure to the plight of the polar bears. +so theres this push to remove your money from banks involved in the pipeline screwing over the souix . Im thinking about it. kick the banks that are kicking the native americans seems like a good way to make a point. all the understand is the bottom line, and the pipeline company will lose their backers if they begin to lose too mkuch money +This is awful! I just read that a family lost two family pets and their home due to a horrible fire, still in investigation! This is one of those times when I let my mind wander and I think, what is going to happen to them? Where would they sleep at night? And the pain they must feel for not having the pets, and a place to call their own. +Reading stuff like this puts the refugee in perspective. There has to be something the international community can do that isn't taking in refugees permanently. The vast majority of these people just want to live and build something for themselves. It is of no fault of their own that they were unfortunate enough to be born within the fist of a crazed dictator. +Poor man, he had lot of success to get and more working plans in his life and couldn't achieve them because of his sudden death, at least his dead was natural, I guess, because that isn't specified in the article. My deepest condolences to his friends and family members, he will be missed in the comedians community. +The article about sleep disorders really hits home, because I know more than one person who would be diagnosed with a sleep disorder. All of these people just happen to be overnight workers, too. The fact that the lack of sleep and quality sleep can lead to a higher risk of stroke is very alarming. So many people need to seek help for sleep disorders, because where the disorder itself may not cause major health issues, it can lead to major health issues. +Reading the article, I was disgusted knowing that a father had not only killed himself but took away the lives of his two sons as well. The only reason why that man even killed himself was that the police saw him killing his two children. People in this world today shouldn't lose their lives due to a crazy/selfish elder. +This is very unnerving news. Drug addiction is a serious problem that both America and the rest of the world is facing. There are many victims from the children that are born to drug abusers to the drug abusers who can no longer take care of their children responsibly due to their addiction. Drug addiction is one of the major issues facing society and is one that must be addressed immediately and urgently. +So, about climate change, I just read an article about it. I have never really been concerned about climate change, I think it's a huge act that is exaggerated by the government, media, and everyone in between. The facts about fire increasing are a little scary though... but I still think climate change is irrelevant. Maybe fires just happen more +Did you hear about this shooting? It appears to be random and utterly senseless. An elderly man was killed and the suspect is now barricaded in his house. There was a lot of misinformation early on about it being related to the election and that the suspect was a woman. It's being reported now that both those claims are false. I really feel for that man and his family. +This does not surprise me. The people on RHONY are kind of trashy. So, it is not hard to believe they were married to a person who would do something like this. It does not really sound like a big deal either. He could have done much worse. Did she even lose money because of this? I would guess not. +This was a tough article to read because if you put yourself in that place, and you think of yourself losing a friend that is very close to you or a family friend. I know that whenever I think about not having someone that has been close to me I wonder how I would feel or react. I don't think that we let people know how we feel enough. +Gah. The whole Ke$ha mess. Oops, I man Kesha, without the $ sign. I dunno what to think about the eating disorder and whole rehab thing. Her professional life has been such a proverbial sh*tshow, it's really hard to me to believe that this is anything else than attention-seeking. She just seems to have that kind of personality. +I don't know much about the issues in Syria and other countries in the Middle East, but I'm not a fan of war or our place in these international conflicts. The United States has had military influence in the Middle East for way too long, and we were deceived by President Obama at the time he started office. He stated he would pull all troops out, but that never really happened. The troops may have decreased, but we have a strong presence there still. +Gay conversion therapy is terrible! I think anyone that is forced to go through would need therapy for the rest of their lives just to recover from the trauma of being told who you are is not acceptable! I cannot believe young children are being stripped of their identities, being told who to be, being shamed for who they are, and learning to hate themselves. They know who they are, and being told to put that part of themselves back in the closet is completely cruel and unjust. This is psychological torture. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to shame anyone into conversion therapy. I cannot stand Mike Pence and everything he stands for. He probably is a strong advocate because he is probably closeted! Why can't people just be ok with who they are? We should love everyone! +Police in Hope, Indiana, released a chilling photo of a mother passed out behind the steering wheel of her car from an apparent drug overdose with a syringe in her hand. Crying in the backseat: her 10-month-old son. Parents are doing this more often with children in the car because they are doing it away from someone who is going to disapprove,” marshal Matthew Tallent told IndyStar. “This is becoming a new norm for drug users +Thinking about air conditions in other countries I wonder if other countries who have the capability can help out. The article I read was about air quality and I wondered if it's hard to teach Indian citizens the affects of what they are doing. Maybe teaching them in school would help. It seems many people are suffering and changing for the better would benefit a lot of people. I guess us caring about those would also be beneficial to us because we all share the same planet. +Are you kidding me? This is on YOU LA County Department of Children and Family Services! How could you let this fall through the cracks! "Authorities found no cause for alarm — school officials told social workers he lived in a safe household." Yeah, that was said just before the boy DISAPPEARED. Then, NOTHING was done. He was alive and locked in a closet for three years! We need more oversight at LA County! This cannot happen to our children! The poor boy was drugged, even when they moved houses. I cannot believe there is a mother so cruel. You should not be allowed to have children! +While I obviously think that it is sad that an animal is dead since I love animals, what I mostly feel reading this story is aggravation. It really annoys and worries me that people insist climate change is a political issue when we can see its effects everywhere, including in the form of the current extinction crisis. I know that this particular one was due to a fungus, but it is part of a trend and might be related, so that is what this makes me think of. I always feel frustrated and worried about the future whenever I am reminded that extinctions like this and other problems are just going to keep happening because conservatives refuse to acknowledge that the problem even exists. It could be fixed, but probably won't be, and that irritates me. +I'm glad that the officers that responded to the scene did not get hurt. I am also happy that the loose Emu did not get hurt. This is a hard article to write about. I wish that all police calls ended with a happy ending like this story where everybody gets to go home. I wish the worlds problems where as simple as an escaped emu on the loose. I believe that most police officers are kind and good nature and want to do the right thing, like helping this emu, but they are human and with any humans you will have some bad ones. Once again just happy nobody got hurt. +OMFG. Seriously?! This cannot be real. I refuse to believe this is real. Someone made this crap up, right? Japanese culture historically famously disregards and degrades women (eg: Geisha girls), but FFS what year is this? <slowly bangs head on desk> Japanese women still cover their mouths when they laugh. Are Japanese men that threatened by empowering women? Cause I'm thinking apparently so. +Video Shows Cop Punching Woman In The Face, But She’s The One Arrested For ‘Assault’ — A uniformed Arizona police officer who was filmed punching a woman has been placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated. “Our agency is very concerned by what is depicted in this video,” police in Flagstaff, Arizona, said in a Wednesday evening press release. The footage, shot and posted to Facebook on Wednesday, shows a woman struggling with two officers who apparently believe there is an outstanding warrant for her arrest. She can be heard on video saying the issue has already been resolved. “You cannot arrest me until I know I have a warrant,” she tells the officers as she struggles with them. Suddenly, one of them strikes her in the face with a closed fist. Authorities have See. +I think the situation in allepo is really dire. I don't understand why the syrian government is trying to harm the people there whey they didn't do anything wrong. I think the whole situation is really sad and that a lot of innocent people are getting hurt for no reason. War is awful and I hope that there's a solution to it soon. I'm glad that the UN is trying to do something, but I just don't think that it's enough. +What an alarming statistic! I had no idea that such things even existed! While it's true that this seems to be much more of a problem in Russia than in the US, since it's on the internet it is still something that could potentially be accessed by our kids! Teenagers have enough to deal with without having to worry about being prodded into doing something horrible like committing suicide by these online idiots! I remember being a teenager and how hard it was, but I didn't have to deal with this! This is completely awful! +A car Taliban car bomb exploded in front of the German consulate in Afghanistan. It killed 100 people.These type of events are to come these days. I mean how does anyone process them any more. I'm personally numb to all this now. It might as well be fiction at this point. It seems like I hear about similar incidents like this everyday. I don't know. +Its sad that now and moving forward in my lifetime we will see many older actors and actresses succumb to death in its many forms. It makes me feel for those people and gain a sense of time in a view that is not endless. I can put myself in the shoes of someone older and battling health problems and it saddens me to do so. +I like some of these new approaches to reducing the harmful effects of bullying, but it's still not enough. Just having a shocking video that raises awareness doesn't help the problem from starting, just helps us react to it quicker. We need to keep building programs that are designed to support our children, but we need to do it before they start to bully (or be bullied). So many of our anti-bullying stories talk about standing up to them and bullying back...that is not the way! +I am a little confused as to how these hacks happen, but it sucks when they do. I am a Yahoo user and think they have had to take precautionary measures multiple times in recent years to stop issues. Data breaches are troubling and can affect us all so I am not happy about the article's details that make me somewhat nervous. +This is sort of scary. I think it could have something to do with water contamination. There are so many types of bacteria. There are also so many different types of pesticides used in farming. I do think it's strange that this happened in a small area, which again, would lead me to think contamination of the ground or water. I wonder about the reference to the cattle, thinking that might have something to do with it. Scary stuff! +We should cherish all the works that the police force offers to us each and every day. While we sleep at night, police officers patrol up and down our streets and neighborhoods making sure that we are safe and sound. We may fear police officers when we see them but fear not because they serve the country as our law and enforcement. +It sounds to me like this man got what he deserved. What did he expect would happen when he ran from the police and didn't follow orders? People who get shot in these situations are simply getting what they deserve and are saving the tax payers a lot of money on their trials and being housed in prisons for the rest of their lives. +Hey I was just reading an article about a teacher bashing president Trump. You know my position when it comes to Trump, you know I dislike the man and all; however, I do not believe a teacher can use his position to bash someone especially on school grounds. I believe he can state his opinion, but not disguise it as the truth. That could be very dangerous. +It is so hard to think that you are not safe anywhere in the world, you expect to be able to go out into the world and enjoy yourself without having to worry about someone hurting you are those around you. That is not a concern anyone should have to face, but it seems to be becoming more of an issue day by day. +Hey I feel like Trump winning was way worse than people thought. The amount of violent attacks on minorites and in general have increased considerably. There have been over 200 attacks since election day can you imagine that? I hate that trunp supporters somehow feel vindicated with their awful racism. +very bad act abut killing that happened Now that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friend or something you would post on social media. Please do not identify your intended friend(s) - just write your thoughts about the article as if you were communicating with them Now that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friend or something you would post on social media. Please do not identify your intended friend(s) - just write your thoughts about the article as if you were communicating with them .... +While the article seems to be slightly sympathetic to the inmates, I say no way. I don't particularly care what happens to most prisoners, let alone the violent ones that attack each other and guards. There is no reason why any guard should ever have to put themselves in danger. These aren't people, these are violent animals, and the guards should be protected. They aren't the ones being punished for what is likely a severe wrongdoing. Restraints, solitary, whatever it takes, I don't feel one tiny twinge of sadness. And lawsuits? Don't even get me started on that one! +The artical is he US closed its education gender gap in 2016. This means there is a large pool of educated female talent, even though fewer women are actually working, as can be seen in the table showing the United States' scores below. The annual report looks at progress towards equality between men and women in four key areas: educational attainment, health and survival, economic opportunity, and political empowerment. +The human rights groups are right. It is brutal. I'm glad we don't punish people like that in our country, but I also feel like this guy in question deserves it. The problem is that punishments like that end up being applied to people who don't deserve it too. In this particular case, I don't feel bad for the guy at all. He's a monster. +The Girl with the beautiful green eyes that was pictured years ago by a photographer is currently under arrest for falsifying documents to stay in pakistan. I feel bad for this woman who felt a need to lie about her status of citizenship to stay in a country just to continue living a better life. This is the second time she has been arrested which shows me that she is really trying to escape a war ravaged country and to continue on living a better life. They should let the girl go. Good for the original photographer who is trying to help her out of this situation. +it is really diheartening to read about these immigrants from this article who drowned. it makes me feel anxious and upset how the whole ordeal happened. it is a terrible occurrence that this had to happen at the mediterranean sea. thankfully there were some survivors. the fact that babies were lost makes it that much more emotional to read all of this +I just can't imagine how you would go from having a good day snorkeling with your loved one and be dead the next just how that would happen? Then not to mention your spouse dies right alongside you in the same mystical way, it just seems like there is more to it then that. It would seem like something had to of happened. +This was an interesting article. I am a supporter of capital punishment, yet I find lethal injection to be absolutely ridiculous. It costs an insane amount of money just to execute somebody with this method, when a few bullets for less than a couple dollars would do the job just as well if not better. +Whenever kids are involved in a nasty breakup there are never any winners. The person who gets the short end of the stick in this case will probably be the child who will be forced to split time and maybe even countries between the two parents. People should try and consider the child's feelings before using them as pawns in a custody fight. +I read an article that linked sleep disorders and strokes. It said that if a person has a sleep disorder, they are less likely to recover from a stroke. The article said that sleep disorder were a very serious problems, and many people are affected. I felt upset, because I have had insomnia so long, and it may be making it more likely for me to have serious health issues in the future. +So remember the Flint MI water problem from years back? The one where the idiots decided to use their own water supply from a dam which leaked led. Well apparently now the government is flipping out that its a nationwide problem. Or should I say the "scientists" are flipping out since we have never heard of lead in the water anywhere outside of the Flint MI disaster +I just read an article about Trump protesters that had fireworks shot at them. This story breaks my heart. Some of the protestors also were spit on and endured racial slurs. I do not understand how a group could commit such a mean act of violence. The group that shot the fireworks were never caught, which makes this story even worse. People should be able to express their views in safety. +So I feel birth is birth. What difference does it make it you gave it vaginal or c-section. So people can be so evil in this world. You were pregnant and carried that baby in your belly for 8 to 9 months. Some ladies are faced with a life or death even choice. We have to do what is right for our babies but mostly for ourselves. I know you think wow selfish much, No this i why. If you are not here you can not raise and happy healthy family. Next if you are not your best or at 100% you really can not give your all. +I have nothing against immigration, so long as it's done legally. I have nothing against illegal immigrants either and often feel there should be pathways to citizenship so long as the illegal immigrant commits no wrongdoings and contributes to the success of the economy of the place they are staying in. The problem with Calais in France is that quite often, terrorists disguised as immigrants make their way in through this area and then commit acts of terror which harm French citizens. French people want to help those that have been displaced in the Middle East, but Calais is a mess. +The article was quite eye opening for someone who may not be extremely into politics. The confederate flag seems to somehow have different meanings to different people, which I never really understood. To get upset because the flag was being hung in college campuses, makes sense to me. I would get upset as well. For students to be afraid for their welfare and or they education at their college because of President elect Trump, also makes sense to me. The whole campaign seems to be one big controversy. +I don't know who this celebrity is, but isn't this crazy? Of course it'd happen in Florida! We always hear these "Florida man" stories, and here's another one. What are people thinking, anyway? What was this guy hoping to do? Pretty weird world we live in nowadays. I'd never want to live down there with all the crazy stuff that goes on! +I don't really feel much of anything at all reading this, I think celebrity deaths are so common in the news that it is really difficult to conjure up any emotion about them. I guess I feel mild interest? I learned a few facts about the singer of a song I have heard fairly often over the years, so it is interesting to have new information, which always feels rewarding in a way. I guess I should feel sad but I just don't think it's possible for me to feel sadness every time I read about someone being dead. It makes me feel a bit tired I suppose. +This sounds like a murder-suicide situation. That's what it always is when you hear there is no danger to the public. How awful that people choose to do this to each other and how awful that some poor kid had to be a witness to it all. That child will never be the same again. I wonder why people who choose to do something like this can't just kill themselves and leave everyone around them alone. It's sick. +So many priests murdered in Mexico in the last 10 years. I don't know that I would have the courage to protest anything if my land was controlled by drug cartels, who surely do not care about anyone else other than themselves. It takes courage to be an activist, but I think I could do more good by staying alive and picking my fights wisely. +Felt bad reading the article because tons of people are losing basically their lives. The wild fires are destroying their farm, things, and even their animals. Without all of those things they cant have a proper living through buying and selling crops or animals. I hope we can donate to an organization nor something to help them +Hey, I wanted to share this article with you that I just found. It is about the issue with junk food ads and targeting kids. We were talking about this the other day. Well apparently it will not be ending any time soon. It is a billion dollar industry and there is very little anyone can do about it. There are organizations out there that is trying to prevent this and fight against childhood obesity. The WHO organization is blaming video bloggers/vloggers who get paychecks from junk food companies. They are claiming that they are more powerful than ads. I'm not sure I believe that but it could be possible, you think? +Wow, this is tragic. I really hope that China will improve their safety standards, but I know this is a big problem all over in developing countries. Remember when that factory burned down in Bangladesh? And we can't pretend this isn't our problem too, when we support them economically. If we buy products created in unsafe working conditions, we have a hand in those deaths too. +I feel like a similar scenario happens at least once a year in Hollywood. When I hear about stories that happen in Hollywood, the lifestyles are so different than mine that it's almost like it's not real, like it's a movie. People in Hollywood always have something to complain about so it's hard to feel sympathy for them, even when something like this happens. +Hey check this out, you are a big Leonard Cohen fan right? This is sad, but this is life. I often think about the deaths of old people, should we be sad? should we celebrate their life? What is the appropriate emotion to experience at this point. I know I was sad when my two grand fathers died, but that is personal. +I think that these types of tragic accidents are far and few. I might be wrong, though I don't hear of too many of them. I think that they may need to reevaluate some of their maintenance techniques to try and make this even more uncommon. It must of really devastated the family and friends of those who lost their lives. +This is really ridiculous. A lawyer with a history of being a nut job went crazy at the mall in Houston Texas and shot nine people, and one of them was injured critically. And all this just because of some issues he was having where he worked, like it is so hard for a lawyer to just move on to another firm instead of going crazy and shooting up innocent people. +Wow, I just read an article describing the problems Venezuela is having with its new leader. About 80% of the people are dissatisfied with his leadership and want him out. But there isn't a smooth process put into place for that. Even the Vatican is trying to assist, but to no avail so far. I can't help but think of all the problems the US has lately, but we do have a constitution and a system for change. I am not sure how Venezuela will fix things peacefully, and how its citizens will fare through all this. The article made comparisons with Cuba, and previous leadership, but I did not fine a clear solution. +So they are trying to expand a runway at Heathrow airport in London which will destroy over 700 peoples homes. This is just crazy to me and I hope that it never actually happens and that the people who live there can fight it. It just seems to me that this is just another case of government over reach. These politicians are probably going to benefit financially somehow from this deal . It is the only explanation that makes any sense to me. Why else would you destroy a whole community? +I just read the article on the oil spill. Even though I do agree with oil digging, when things go wrong, it does have severe consequences. I feel mostly bad for the birds and sea life, which will obviously be affected. You would think with all the money these oil companies profit from, they would take more safety precautions, in trying to avoid accidents from happening. I know the industry creates a lot of jobs and most often, nothing goes wrong. But when it does, it can be catastrophic for the wildlife in the area and those that live in the area. Or even those areas that rely on tourism, if people can’t go into the oceans or there is oil spilling onto their beaches. Not sure what the answer is, or if there even is an answer to it. It just makes me sad to see those beautiful birds +It sounds like she wasn't cut out to be a cop. The way I see it, it was obvious that the guy was decompensating in some way, but he didn't display anything that indicated he was violent - that had to all be in her head. Yes, when the cops order you to do something, it's probably better to comply, especially if they have draw weapons including tasers. No one disputes that his hands were up, and the other officer assessed the situation to require a taser, not a gun, and apparently, this scenario goes against training, so the problem was in the officer, not the victim. People wonder why the police aren't trusted, and this is it. They're human too, and they make mistakes, but their mistakes kill people unjustly. I feel bad for the family of the victim and I hope they see justice done. +President Donald Trumps actions during his election and so far during the presidency has been nothing short of childish. I don't think he has any idea of what a filter is, and I don't think he cares what anyone thinks about him. Him winning the president election was probable one of the worst things that could have happened to our country at this time and moment, but things could be worse. Like the previous article, we could be comparing President Trump to Hitler, which in my opinion is absolutely terrible. +There was a terrible bus crash near the town where I grew up. It looks like a black sedan hit the bus and people were hurt. Apparently the injured people were taken to a nearby hospital where I used to work. No word was released on the condition of the individuals but I sure hope it was no one we know or that no one is seriously hurt. Please say a prayer for all involved and be grateful that no lives were lost. +What do you think about Guantanamo Bay? Should they shut it down or continue to use it for interrogating supposed terrorist. I do have sympathy for some of the prisoners who may not particularly be terrorist. From an article I read some of these prisoners or most of them are mentally ill. One thing I learned from this article I read is that some of the psychologists may be assisting with torturing the prisoners. Some believe that some of these physicians and psychiatrist should bear the brunt of the blame for torture at Guantanamo Bay. +I'm so sad to hear about this, it just drives me crazy. I wish that we would just do something once and for all to help save these people from such suffering. I guess in the mean time all that I can do personally is just pray for the people though and hope that soon things will get better, somehow. Doesn't this just make you so mad? +Having traveled through Afghanistan in the mid-1970s and having had a son deployed in Afghanistan during the US incursion, I can tell you that the country is profoundly backward and disorganized even at the best of times. This influx of refugees will cause chaos on a massive scale. The USA should help. If we are willing to invade and contribute to the destabilization of the country in our own interests, we should also be willing to come in as a magnanimous gesture and help out these poor people in the time of their need. +What this also taught me is that I think poverty teaches you to value anything and everything you have .. importance of friends , importance of one time meal, importance of tiniest thing in your life .. It teaches you to survive on bare minimum. Poverty teaches gratitude. Some of the most happy people in the world are those people who have the least. When you aren't flooded with tons of material goods you can focus more on the simple things that you do have. Look at Brazil the have to struggle to eat but it's what keeps them humble. +I feel so sad for the world. The world needs a revolution and good people in charge of the countries. Bad people need to disappear from this world, we need specials force to deal with injustice from this world. A lot of people is in pain because of different beliefs, race, culture and bad presidents. People around the world should have the same opportunities to be happy and have a fair life. I would like to help every injustice in the world. Big countries in the would should help all the people that are suffering because of injustice. I can see a lot of pain around the world and I just can say that a lot of people with resources are extremely selfish. We need powerful people dealing with this kind of situations. On the other hand, people should make disappear ISIS from the map ASAP. +As a woman myself, I really sympathize with these women. While I find it very difficult to imagine what they go through as a woman, I can get some vague idea. I would hate to think that I had to have a male escort when I left my home. They aren't treated as equals, and often men don't even consider them equal as their family pet! <Many of the women can be abused, physically and sexually, and they are considered to be the problem, not the abuser! I hope they are able to win by the petition, and will be able to have a bit more freedom! +Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous and strong illnes. It is scary to think that someone might be carrying that kind of desease just because of them having a hard time letting go of smoking. Also, thinking that even the non-smoking people can get sick and worst they can even have cancer too. Just thinking how things worked regarding cancer is traumatising me. +Lydia Jones, a spokeswoman for BAFTA Cymru, said Friday that the organization had been told there would be no further details on Mr. Jones’s condition. Primary progressive aphasia is a rare nervous system syndrome that affects a person’s ability to express his or her thoughts and understanding, or to find words, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms begin gradually, often before age 65, and worsen over time. The news of the diagnosis was also reported by the BBC and Britain’sNational Press Association. The announcement of Mr. Jones’s illness dominated Monty Python fan siteson Friday, where it was described as “sad” and “terrible” news. Eric Idle, a co-founder of the ribald, outrageous and internationally acclaimed British troupe, tweeted thanks to fans for their support while noting Mr. +I really feel bad for Turkey. I think they are trying to do everything they can to get rid of terrorism in the country. It seems that their efforts are for naught. They want to keep the people safe and yet more terrorist groups keep popping up. Then the lawmakers are involved and there is only so much you can do. Turkey is constantly at war. I'm wondering if this will end up with the US trying to do something over there or bringing that trouble here. It is upsetting really to hear about all this going on in the world when people just want peace. There is always terrorism and someone trying to bring down a country, but the country tries its hardest to fight back despite opposition. +The person in the article was participating in a fund raising event and the event was about getting pies thrown into the faces by people. I guess that things got a little bit rough because the guy that was getting the pie in the face got injured somehow. It was pretty bad and he had to seek out the medical help for the injuries to his face. +I just read an article about a mother and father that sexually abused their daughter from the age of 11. It is just disgusting. I can't imagine how in the world someone would be okay doing this to their child. Those parents deserve a fate worse than death. What is WRONG with people? They deserved to be tortured until the day they die. So disgusting. +These poor people! It seems like they really can't catch a break. Like it isn't bad enough that they are already trying to dig themselves out of their tough economic situation and losing their homes, but now they also have to worry about a population decrease. It's pretty clear that we need more aid and more help for these people in the area. +I am very concerned about our staple crops that we use to survive off of. The climate change is likely going to kill off our crops. We are already seeing signs, and it doesn't look good. The University in Arizona is already seeing this, and no one is listening. Only a few news channels are spreading the news. This is going to affect those non technological countries first, which is a shame since none of this is their fault. +I heard almost 80 people died from an explosion. It was caused by lightening or something. Crazy huh? I hope nothing like that every happens here during a fuel crisis. Over 100 were injured. So sad. I wonder what all those people who survived are going to do. Maybe the red cross will set up something. How can I find out? +HOpefully this fighting ends soon its getting to be too much the negative impact is getting bigger and bigger. If things dont stop before long then the fighting wont be in that area itll spread even wider as all the larger countries get involved and the fighting just wont stop. maybe we should start a petition or something to get some attention on this issue +We definitely need to make sure we step up our efforts to vet who we let in this country, especially as far as refugees go. Just like you wouldn't leave your door open and invite intruders, we should not let refugees into our country without vetting them. We don't know if they're part of ISIS or not. It may seem like racial profiling, but only Middle Easterners belong to ISIS, so it is appropriate in this case. +I feel bad for that baby. The way it sounds, especially with the bottle of milk being in there, it sounds like someone had the baby and couldn't keep it so they left it there. I wish people would use the fire station safe haven option. I thought it was interesting that they mentioned that a 14 year old heard the cries. I wonder if the 14 year old was the one who had the baby and had to hide it. +The driven into exile last year, and he is now based in the southern port city of Aden. Saudi Arabia’s Sunni Muslim monarchy entered the war in large part because of concerns of Iranian influence in the region. That Shiite theocracy is widely perceived to be backing the Shiite rebels. The airstrikes in come on the same day i rejected a new U.N. peace proposal that would have sidelined him and given the prominent roles in a new government. More than 10,000 people have died in the conflict, many of them civilians who were killed by Saudi-led coalition bombings, according to the United Nations. that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friendS. +I am torn when it comes to this one. I feel bad because that is a horrible way to die and his sister definitely did not need to see that. But I also do not understand why they would be so careless and wander off on a trail where it is clearly marked that they shouldnt be leaving. If they would have paid more attention and didnt carelessly not listen to rules than this situation could have been avoided. +Wow… Yet another angle from which to look at climate change. And of course, it’s threatening and not pretty. But it’s also really interesting to see how all the stakeholders in a big industry like coffee are aware of climate change and its dangers, have been for a while, and are actively working at trying to minimize its impact on their business. And yet, others have their heads firmly buried in the sand and pretend nothing’s happening. +I totally get this in a lot of ways. I used to roll my eyes at people who were frothing at the mouth over Obama being elected, and how they seemed to make grand statements of the world ending RIGHT NOW because a black man was in the white house. Now...I don't know. I see my friends and family freaking out and I want to tell them to just chill out. Obama didn't destroy America--the right wingers were wrong about that. Neither will Trump. Life will keep going. It brings a lot of stress listening to people freaking out all the time. And yet, I get it. I get why they are worried and freaking out. I don't like it either, but I don't get the point of stressing out so much. But then again, I've completely dissociated from all this. I don't really read the news anymore. +Hello Alexander, oh how I need to tell you this story I read, its crazy you know. Anyway so I read this story about Myanmarl; they are having a huge investigation about child slavery, its very sad we live in a world that is filled with monsters like this. The goods news about this is that the police arrested two family members. I feel good about that coming out. I hope they find more and put them into justice. +There has been a lot of fires that are happening in the south. Many people are being told that they have to wear special masks if they want to go outside because of the smoke from the fires. People are also investigating to see what really caused the fire many people are suspecting that it's arson that is causing a lot of these fires to happen. A lot of organizations are asking people to donate water and drinks for the firefighters to quench their thirst while fighting fires. It truly is a sad thing and hopefully this problem will be resolved sooner than later. +I'm at a loss for words when I think of all the senseless lives lost from gun violence. As a gun supporter maybe I should take a step back and ask myself the hard questions about guns and there impact and availability in today's society. I know that statistically more people die from other causes compared to gun violence, but are guns way to accessible in America compared to other countries? When the 2nd amendment was written could they imagine the way guns could have progressed or how they are being used today? Seeing so many mass shootings makes me feel that maybe it's time to change some of the gun laws and help make things like 40 children killed or injured a thing of the past. +That is really sad to hear. It's awful that cars can be so unsafe and sometimes people forget how easy it is to get into an accident if everyone isn't careful and observant. It said this happened at 6:30pm so I wonder if maybe the sun was shining right in someone's eyes because that has happened to me at sunset and I could barely see. It's difficult to pull over and stop in those conditions as well. +A gut feeling, or gut reaction, is a visceral emotional reaction to something. It may be negative, such as a feeling of uneasiness, or positive, such as a feeling of trust. Gut feelings are generally regarded as not modulated by conscious thought, but sometimes as a feature of intuition rather than rationality. +The eyes are a part of our body we definitely take for granted. At the same time, they are extremely important and truly open our vision to the world. It would be devastating for a young person to suffer an eye injury simply playing a sport. People should be extremely vigilant to prepare children to play such sports and avoid suffering any life altering injuries. +Is it too much to ask for a judge that follows the Constitution? Check this article out and see if you agree. Focusing on fringe issues is not going to unite us. I wish we could move past this and leave people's personal beliefs out of it and focus only on the law. that would be nice for a change, woudln't it? +I just read an article about the attacks in a syrian town. It sounds horrible what they are going through. It talks about women and children dying. I tried to immagine what it would be like to live in such horror. It mentions many post on social media of pictures and videos. I would be interested in seeing some of the pictures and videos of this violence. Reading stuff like this really makes you appreciate being in America. +I feel horrible that this is happening. It probably a lot to do with what America has done in that country. They are the ones who armed the rebels and caused this problem. America created the terrorists groups. I know I am not responsible but it makes me sick to know that intelligence agencies from our own countries instigated this problem. I feel sympathy for all those who have been killed and the families who's lives have been ruined. +It's a weird ironic twist that once illegal animals are seized they may fare worse than if the smugglers were allowed to get away with them. It brings out the selfishness of humans and their inability to share this wonderful world with its other inhabitants. These animals should be properly cared for, and perhaps some of the financing could come from fines imposed upon the people who illegally absconded with them in the first place. +I am not sure what to think of this article as I have probably a different opinion than most would. First of all why wouldn't she report this at the time it happened, instead of waiting years and years later to come forward? I get the whole he's a powerful person and nobody would believe her part, but who's really going to believe her years later and why would she come out with it now and not before? What change? Why is she willing to exploit this man years later but wasn't able to do it years before? +I was reading about a few people that were killed as a result of Typhoon Meranti. I think it's fortunate that not too many people were killed during this storm. It seems like people have generally gotten better about heeding warnings about these powerful storms. However, it seems like infrastructure damage is something that needs to be analyzed. +Oh, please. It is getting hot - climate change. It is getting cold - climate change. There is a fire - climate change. Forget that fact that the climate has changed since the begging of time, and that people throw cigarettes out the window all the time too. These chicken little articles are also amusing and upsetting at the same time. +In Iraq, Islamic State militants are kidnapping thousands of people at gunpoint to use as shields against the U.S. takeover as the militants move to their last stronghold of Mosul. This is something that complicates the U.S. airstrikes because it is not certain how many civilians might be injured or killed since they are being used as shields by the militants. As the militants are squeezed tighter and tighter together in their last stronghold, more and more villages are suffering, entire villages of people are being taken and used as these shields. It is a terrible situation and I cannot imagine the suffering as people are missing and lost forever from families and leaving many children as orphans. +It saddens me to think about a young rino passing away. I can not help but question the circumstances surrounding its death. My heart goes out to the person who worked hard to try to save its life and is grieving over the loss of that hard battle. As a wildlife rehabilitator I know the struggle all too well. I understand how it feels to forgo sleep and food because you are working to save an animal. It is painful. But if you can save even one, it will make it all worth it in the end. +A hurricane is about to hit Taiwan soon. It's supposed to be really big, the biggest since 1969. We just had some really awful hurricanes in the West too. The ones here were caused by global warming, so I wonder if China's are too? It's horrible that so many people will lose their homes or their lives just so rich executives can make a few bucks more. +Hey my BFF Joan, how have you been I read this interesting article and man I feel weird living in a country like I do now. All these issues and money being wasted for what? I really feel like we as people and a nation can do much better then this. I hope we can evolve to become better people in this world. +The real problem with people born with critical illness is that we try so hard to give them a normal life. However these people are not normal. And to force them into feeling normal while a nice sentiment, is hardly productive. Instead we should focus on how these people can live differently than trying to merge them into general society. Society it's self is a disgusting community of work till you die. No matter what it is you chose to do. Take Autism for example, we try so hard to normalize them. However with my experience these people are brilliant in their own ways that we can't understand. They see things in an alien like manor of ultra basic instinct. This instinct should have it's own way of flourishing instead of bowing down to the rest of us. +The story that was told in the article that I read was I thought was pretty sad considering it highlighted a better time in life where things were not so violent in the world. There are so many acts of terror these days that it is hard to keep track of and the incident described feels the same way. Unfortunately there are so many bad people in this world that feel like they should be able to do all these bad things to other people because of some message they are trying to spread but really just causing a lot of pain for everyone. +I just read an article about someone jumping a fence and into someone's yard before stabbing several of the homeowners security guards. Just reminds me of how decrepit society has become. It's as if we've lost all touch with morality and compassion towards one another and such crimes are a grim reminder of the reality. +I think lung cancer is not really caused too highly by air pollution. I feel that the number one pollutants that cause lung cancer is purely smoking. Im glad I quit smoking years ago. They say these scientific reports and studies provide that the air pollution caused early stage lung cancers, however I really just don't believe it. +More trouble at the North Dakota pipeline protests! They have brought in riot police who are trying to break up the protestors. It looks like they are using rubber bullets and arresting a lot of people. It is scary that we can not peacefully protest in this country without fear of injury or arrest. I hope everyone is okay. +These home grown terrorists are becoming more and more of a problem. How do we monitor better people who are already in this country? Stopping immigration is not going to solve this problem. It is the people right here in our own country who are killing each other. That problem has to be solved!!! How do we keep tabs on people and catch them before they kill their fellow citizens? +showing just how amazing females have been doing especially in sports.It makes you wonder just how hard they have been working and becoming role models for young girls.That they would do whatever it took to become something and people like rounda rousey and how much she achieved just shows what it means to be a champion. +Did you hear about the horrible earthquake in New Zealand? IT was devastating and I am so heartbroken and sad for all of those people.It's going to be difficult to get aid to some places because the roads are severely damaged. Those people must be so terrified and worried. I'm sure they're hungry and in serious need of water and food and many are in need of shelter. I pray that God gives them all peace and comfort during this time. +ISIS is a group of deeply mentally ill serial killers. I simply don't see them the way I see Al-Aqaeda. Now, Al-Aqaeda is also a group of mentally ill people and they're also disgusting but they're damn serious in their mission. ISIS feels like a group of guys who kill just for fun. I agree with Obama on ISIS being a jv team. I can't help but feel terrible for those who have to witness the bodies all over Mosul. What a horrible sight that must be. Can people heal once they see that? Do those people have any hope or any way to continue after they witness such atrocities? What about the children? I feel so bad for them. It's so crazy. I wish they would wipe out the Middle East and just start over. Enough with the political correct bullshit. Enough with the religious bullshit. +I read an article about a man who was caught smashing Donald Trump's star in Hollywood. He had a sledgehammer and was smashing it. I thought it sounded pretty funny. The article described some of the ways people are protesting, from covering the star with graffiti, to putting a Bernie Sanders sticker on it, to putting a barbed wire fence around it. I don't like that he even has a star, and I think if I were to go to Hollywood, I'd like to do something like this as well. +this article was very interesting because it talks on how climate change can have influenced the extinction of the melomys in theyre habitat. it talks alot about it and basically lets us know that climate change wasnt the cause of extinction and that us, humans could have prevented this from happenning but just decided not to. +People in America are going to have it worse despite all the federal “inequality spending” done during the Obama administration. The article says that Trump and the congress are going to undo what Obama started. The article says that they are also trying to undo Obama care and that’s part of it. I know Obamacare made me poorer by about $600 a month and I’m not rich! It goes on about SS and how evil tax cuts are. I don’t know what to think about this since the news these days are often fiction. It seems to contradict itself by saying unemployment rates have dropped. With more people working isn’t there more tax revenue? Confused but I feel for the poor... +Remember that story that I told you about my neighbor Paul from my old neighborhood and how he had served in IRAQ and had come home and had PTSD? I found this article that explains it pretty good and think you might be interested in reading it to deal with the new coworker that you have that has similar issues. +It's so insane that people today, specifically white people, find the need to continue to discriminate against a group of people that they have already tormented for hundreds of years. There is something I call "little man syndrome" mostly referring to when short men feel the need to overcompensate for their height by being very aggressive and loud. The white people that commit these kinds of crimes suffer from a severe case of little man syndrome. +Check out this article. I wonder someday when all of these theoretic articles will change how things are done? Should we be doing massive changes in the way our government works, the way people are allowed to function? the products we are able to buy and the activities we are allowed to partake in? Will private jets disappear? +Did you see this sad story? This holocaust survivor has died. She lived a fruitful life recreating a town and now she is dead. Do you ever think of how sad life can be. This person survived the awful genocidal regime of Hitler. Why do human beings seek to contribute so much pain to one another. It is a sad and horrible way of being. +This is definitely an upsetting thing that has happened. We like to think that when we go to a theme park, all the rides are completely safe and maintained well. But there is always a risk, however small, that something tragic could happen. Even in a safe environment like a well-maintained park, we need to keep up our guard and use good judgment. +I can't believe that this place was ever given a license to carry out their business in the first place. These poor dogs died a slow painful death because the owners of this kennel were so careless. Did they not see the dogs suffering? How would they like to be locked up in a room in those temps? Make sure you are taking your pets to a reputable kennel if you do need to board them - I would have to see something like this happen to anyone else!! +Michael Buble's three year old son has cancer. This is so horrible and sad. I can't imagine what they are feeling right now. My uncle died of prostate cancer and I know nothing will ever be the same. Cancer on such a young boy seems so cruel if there is a God out there. I am really hoping their son pulls through and they keep on fighting together as a family. +I find that it is of a truth, and am writing to you regarding this situation that is erupting in Yemen, that after the peace talks collapsed security and safety for citizens in these areas has greatly decreased. I find that how America feels about it, and others around the world, is more correct, than in error. Whereby they are appalled by all the violence and blood shed. I feel personally that each party should consider the welfare of the people at large, than any self-aggrandizements, and personal power plays. It they can become more self-less, and less selfish, they will make decisions that are in the best interest and safety of the people of Yemen, aside and apart of whatever their political idealogies may be, when they are saving lives, and not just garnering votes, or political power +I have think is very good article and nice.he has promised the to be the most vigilant interrogator of the Obama administration from his perch on an oversight committee, which republican cheered. this sentence i am very like. Numerous ballot initiatives focused on progressive caused could also give republican few reasons to turn out. The reason must important for the areas. +Did you finally see what happened to that sicko that stole all of those nude photos from those celebrities? Those poor people got tricked into getting their photos stolen and this man went and was showing them to everyone. He finally was convicted of this and it serves him right. What an idiot. Just remember you don't ever take any photos like this and never upload them even if you did. Keep this stuff private and off of the internet. I sure am glad this guy finally got what was coming to him. +Well that sucks for this people in the south. It seems like there's always something that's messing with the gas prices. Hopefully they'll get it repaired soon though and things will go back to normal. At least there wasn't severe environmental damage, that's a good thing. If I were down there, I would probably just ride a bike for a few weeks. +Reading an article that is basically on the fear and risk of the Zika Virus and how it is currently an issue. It doesn't affect my fellings at all. It is clearly and issue but they'll make a vaccine for those who don't become immune by way of their own system, then the virus will become resistant to the vaccinations and it will be a never ending up and down cycle that we see all the time. I simply just can't let something like this, despite the risk, affect my feelings and emotions. +It's weird how I don't really feel sorry for these people. Timeshares just seem like a terrible idea and I've always associated it with conspicuous consumption. Really...just rent a hotel room when you can go. Buying into a house with other people sounds like a total hassle and a problem waiting to happen. But I can't stand how grimy the companies are and how they jerk people around. It just shows that the whole timeshare concept is about digging into people's pockets. And the only way to get them to stop doing that is to put them out of business if they don't want to play fair. +What I learned from this story is that this world is really fucked up. Imagine forceful sex at an age when your organs are not developed and when you have complete faith in everyone around you results in both physical and mental trauma. You think that any person who is around you and is trying to act sweet with you will end up being a molester. That is why a victim behaves like that. It's vile man. +I feel like entraprenerurship is the future. Apparently they are making it so you can quit your job and get unemployment benefits. It's pretty awesome. I guess they want to encourage people to start unique businesses on their own in an effort to diversify the workfroce in the country. Pretty cool if you ask me. +This doesn't sound too worrisome to me. If you are affected by depression, then you should decide as an individual to find another option. It's just a side effect, I think there are many medicines out there that have depression as a side effect. It is something that individuals should be aware of, but nothing critical. +Although I do think that companies have the right to advertise their product willingly, I also think that targeting kids is wrong. I think that good health should come first and the advertisement should condone this. Advertisements should not target kids, given that they don't really know what is good for them yet. +These poor people in Syria. On the lookout all the time, every time you hear a bang or a noise they must shake. This is so bad these poor people were just going to school. The place you should feel safe. Your trying to make yourself better to learn something. If Russia targeted this school then I hope they get what they deserve. They should think about their families when carrying out an attack such as this. +JUst when you think things couldn't get much worse! I just can't imagine who in the world would kill, then mutilate a baby horse! It pretty much sounds like someone with a mental health issue is running around crazy with a gun. It is nice to know so many nonprofits are not only engaged in finding this criminal, but also to prevent this from happening again, I think the adult horses were in better shape and that's why they survived. What kind of lazy loon would mutilate the little horse's genitals? +Just found this article; not surprised by this at all. I can't believe there are truly female trump voters but I'm not surprised; racism is something they all bind together with. She really should just leave the party if she actually has any sense. Feel free to share this with someone else as well if you want. +I am not over there, so I don't fully know what's going on. I do know that we should be helping these poor people out of the water and not letting them die from exhaustion or whatever else is causing their death, especially not 2 month old babies. this is just appalling that countries cannot come to aid these people. Yes, they know the risk involved, but because of other countries bombing their land out they are trying to find a better and safer situation for themselves and for their families. I don't blame them trying to better themselves from the war-torn countries that they come from. I have sympathy for all of these people. +How horrible what happened on that cruise ship. I can't believe the crew members were allowed to blatantly be homophobic to the patrons like that. They should be sued! I'm glad this came to light. I hope people do not patronize that business again knowing their true colors. It should not have taken a death for them to come around. +A nineteen-year-old college student from Texas A&M ran into a police car while she was taking a topless photo of herself which she was sending to her boyfriend. The police said she also had an open bottle of wine her the cup holder of her car. She told the police she was taking a photo to send to her boyfriend while she was stopped at a stop light. She was arrested on the suspicion of driving while intoxicated and then released on a $2,000 bond. The accident happened about 100 miles north of Houston, Texas. +What's going on in Venezuela is just tragic. The government has no concern for it's citizen's. These are just kids trying to get an education. They can't get a proper meal. Waiting in line doing anything to help their children. How can we let this go on. No one can be expected to learn or do anything productive if they can't even get the basic necessities +Hey can you believe the crazy weather we've been having during the past few summers? It's getting really ridiculous and out of hand. They temperatures have been crazy and the flooding is really messing with people's lives. We really should be paying more attention to it and need to come up with some solutions fast. +This always makes me mad guys, that the cops think they can shoot because of color. Its absolutely ridiculous! Of course, the cop isn't being charged for murder, and predijuce still stands in this country. It is extremely sad that the world has to come to this.. just killing off anybody because they think they're above the law. +Hey B, remember that conversation we had the other day, well I found an article that talks about it. It basically says that humans have destroyed 10 percent of Earth's wilderness in the last 25 years. The article said that the total land area is about half the size of the Amazon and twice the size of the whole state of Alaska. That is about 1.3 million square miles of wilderness, that just disappeared. The article also revealed that humanity has one to two decades more to turn it around before it is too late. I hope something is done soon and I'll send you a link to the article. +it seems a horny male college student has finally taken up the courage not to pursue love, but to rape his potential lover, what a disgusting act and moral corruption, the amount of emotional trauma done to the female victim is permanent and she would never feel safe again, I hope he gets to sentence to jail long enough he thought through +I really hate ISIS. They continue to be the stain on society by committing atrocities condemned by every nation in the world. They must be stopped at all costs and they must be destroyed so that they wont hurt another soul. These poor people who are trying to survive get killed, imprisoned, or brainwashed into joining and there seems to be no way to stop them. +This is such a sad story. I blame the owner of the dog. She should not have had her dog off leash. A big dog like that can really scare someone. Not everyone is a dog lover like we are. Poor Macie had to feel the pain because her owner wasn't doing the right thing. Perhaps the fine for having dogs off leash will result in people not taking their dogs off leash when they walk. Take them to a dog park and let them run. +This story about the shooting at the airport is absolutely breaking my heart. There is no reason for these violent gun actions to continue to go on. Can you imagine if this had been our dad or other friend or family member? I can not imagine what the victims family is going through right now. The poor people in the airport must have been in a frenzy. It had to have been scary to not know what was going on. Especially before everyone knew the gunman was dead. This one cowards acts caused so much turmoil and upheaval for so many people. Can you imagine all of the money that was wasted because of his stupid choices. Between flights being cancelled, rearranged, police officers time. I wish we could understand what he was thinking and why he did this mess. +Reading about the issue of racism in this country brings to many various thoughts. The first of these being, truly, we cannot legislate thought itself. Either we champion free speech for those we find abhorrent, or we stop pretending to care about liberty. People will always suck. At a certain point, it seems we as a society have gotten a lot softer, even as life has become more comfortable. Racists are morons. Do I walk around stressed all day about racists? Hell no. +I never knew there was a link between depression and birth control pills. I thought it would do the opposite because it allows women to have a full sex like without worrying about pregnancy, so they and their partners can feel more relaxed and open to exploring their sexuality. But now that i read the article I can see the link between hormone fluctuations and mood disorders since the two effect each other. +Dear friend, I have just read a horrific story coming out of Hong Kong. This man, a wealthy Hong Kong banker, murdered two young women in his apartment in a gruesome and sadistic fashion. He tortured them repeatedly inside of his luxurious downtown apartment near Hong Kong's red light district. He planned to torture them with tools and sex toys but had to cut it short when one of the women started screaming loudly in his apartment. He slit her throat and stuffed her body into a suitcase. +It's really amazing to me how much food we waste as a country considering how overweight and obese people are. I can't believe how wasteful it all is, if you think about it. A lot of the food we eat, we don't need, and then we throw away so much too! All that food belongs with people who really need it. I wish people would donate more and that restaurants could donate their unused food to homeless shelters. +It's sad these days how often police are being attacked for just being police. Mental health is such a problem, we need to find better ways to help people so they don't get to the point of harming others. Whenever I hear about an officer being hurt I think of your husband. We are very lucky men like him are choosing to spend their lives to protect us. I hope we can get help to more people so I can stop worrying if there is someone out there waiting for him. +Check out this news article. It's absolutely infuriating that this sort of thing would happen YET again, not only from a big oil and gas company, but specifically from BP again. Their ineffable ineptitude constantly leads to environmental disasters and someone has to put a stop to their BS before we let them completely destroy our habitat here on Earth. +This is troubling as it is unusual to have two people die of this cause at the same time. This seems suspicious as well. I hope the authorities can find some answers so this tragedy is not repeated. I hope the family can eventually find some peace and get the information they need for closure on their loss. +The article i read about the Venezuela zoo where the animals starving due to food shortage. the country economical condition go down and rise the prices of food. The country can't manage to import food due to bad economical siyuation. Animals on the Caricuao Zoo staffers have been feeding carnivorous lions and tigers diets of mango and pumpkin. Elephant eats tropical food instead of hey. +there are many red quireels in great britain and are causing leprosy arounf the city a girlo who was near the age found in squirrel these have been in scotland and great britian and even in some cases also in but not ecluding them at all - russia. this is a plagment and a serious incident as you can read many peolpe should be concered about this and might turn a bline eye to it but something should be done about this and people should try to find a cure of some sort for this +You know I'm not a fan of religion in any context, but this type of thing happens everywhere. There's always some idiot who goes off and uses religion, bigotry, sex, gender, anything really as an explanation. It's sad that you read something like this and it doesn't even feel like news. Perhaps its just our access that's making this seem ordinary. +Hey look at what I have been reading into. I want your opinions on this matter at hand. So civilian casualties are starting to rise as Iraqi forces push into Mosul. The vehicles screeched into the small field hospital on the outskirts of Mosul carrying desperate loads: soldiers injured in battle as well as men, women and children caught in the crossfire of Iraq’s war against the Islamic State. Now you know me. I would be in terrible trouble this is not a way of life. Why are were even in war. Why harm our children. This has saddened me to no end. We do not need, want or find any peace in war! +Food, water fears remain year after Brazil mine dam disaster — COLATINA, Brazil — One year after a dam ruptured and sent a giant wave of metal-laden mud gushing into one of Brazil’s most important rivers, people who live along the banks won’t drink the water and fishermen are afraid to eat their catch. Upward of 10 billion gallons of mud filled with mining waste buried towns in the Nov. 5 dam break that has been described as the worst environmental disaster in Latin America’s largest country. Nineteen people perished. Across 5,000 acres — about six times the size of New York City’s Central Park — the onslaught of mud crushed thousands of trees and wildlife. In the river, more than 14 tons of fish died, mostly after mud got stuck in their gills. An equally large amount of aquatic plants die +Wow that dude has a lot of money! More power to him, that's awesome. That guy has worked hard his whole life and built an amazing career and he's unstoppable in the wrong. So yeah what do you guys think? Do you agree that he deserves what he's got? Do you think he really refused to pay for the necklace? or do you think it's just fake news someone made up? +There are many types of virus spreading through our population today. More recently the Zika virus has found new ways of spreading from person to person. It has also found new host an carriers. This new problem is very concerning especially for people young and old. It also seems like pregnant woman are very susceptible to this virus as well. +In this Food, water fears remain year after Brazil mine dam disaster — COLATINA, Brazil — One year after a dam ruptured and sent a giant wave of metal-laden mud gushing into one of Brazil’s most important rivers, people who live along the banks won’t drink the water and fishermen are afraid to eat their catch.

Thankfully, they didn't have injured people, just frightened ones. As bad as the situation is, it could have been worse. While people have no homes, they have their lives and the lives of their loved ones. It is terrible these people don't have a particularly safe place to stay right now, and the thought of losing everything you own is catastrophic. But, you can rebuild your life with your family. +It's a shame that air pollution has potentially been linked to increased mental damage with young children. We often don't take into account all the damage that the fossil fuel companies have done to our society. We only praise them for creating the fuels we use but never tax them appropriately for all the damage that they cause us. +I believe protecting nature is extremely important. Whether it is climate change or restricting grazing, we must make a commitment to insuring that our lands are preserved for future generations. People can enjoy the outside and enjoying the outside is especially important for a generation that has often been labelled as couch potatoes. Such lands should be well preserved for them. +Hello friends, I will take part in this group to tell you some important news. They know that I always read and look for information. Some time ago it seems that a man died at sea after he fell off the cruiser where he was going. The person's name was Bernardo García Teixeira. Now his partner filed a lawsuit with the Royal Caribbean company. The people of the cruise and the police also allege that this couple was discussing a moment before the accident happened. +To be honest with you, In my opinion, I do not believe Russia or Syria are peaceful countries. Syria has the most corrupt and dishonest government officials in the world, and the fact that Russia has defended them through everything is very disturbing and alarming. I know we all like to think that Trump and Putin are in "bed" together, but is that really the case? What Syria does to its own people goes beyond what words can describe, and how Russia can defend these actions is almost as equally disgusting. +I cannot even be surprised by the level of insanity that is going on out there right now. I almost feel as though I am numb to it. I can no longer be moved by this madness because it is something that I can expect because of the mental illness that is prominent in our society. We can no longer feel safe that our protection is the priority today. +I am stressed about this article since gasoline is involved. Gasoline is a big thing not just for me, my family, my frienda but it is a big thing for everyone. It is always a bad news to know that something like this happened or happening because it will slow down the work we have to do. It destroys plans and budget of every individual. +The pipeline seems to be interfering with native american tribes and is causing lots of enviornmental damage. I do feel for these individuals, and it's important they get all the help they deserve. Their anscestors were decimated throughout history and there isnt enough reparations to solve the genocide that was caused. +It seems that a lawsuit is now pending for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Exessive grazing from the cattle has occured in this area and it seems to be threatening the wildlife in the area. Protective measures have been put in place over the years but there have no been serious consequences for parties that do not comply. +I feel that these Muslim areas are in dire need of help. I feel so very sad and alarmed for them, as I know the citizens are helpless and don't know who to turn to for help. It can't be easy to live in an area where you never know if you will wake up to your village being raided, your women being raped and worry of your child being dragged into Military or political rebels groups. Many people in America do not realize how much freedom, safety and peace we have by living in this country, as we have never experienced the peril that people in these Muslim countries experience. I'm sure many live in terror and fear of the unknown, of what could be, and actually the reality of their life. There are many poor villages and citizens, so they don't have options to find a way out of there. +I just read about a group of people that were celebrating Halloween and got hit by a car. It makes me wonder how people can be so irresponsible with children. They were riding on the back of a trailer when they got hit by another car. That is so unsafe. I wouldn't even want to do that with other adults, let alone children. +It looks like chaos in Iraq. The Islamic State (IS) has taken over Mosul and people are getting the hell out of there. The problem is, there is nowhere to go. There are a few camps for refugees but not nearly enough space. People are even taking there sheep which can’t be helpful… The IS has had people under their rule for almost 3 years and the people are making a run from it. No doubt they have every reason – the young women and girls feel veil-less freedom! The IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The were right to leave as the city is now a war zone with Iraqi security forces retaking the city. It is a bitter fight with the usual “blood will spill” messages rampant. Many families are leaving and there are some really heart-wrenching tales. SO SAD… Many are in fear. +I didn’t know that cocunuts are becoming in short supply. It was a very interesting article. I didn’t realize how many things are made with cocunut or that they have some kind of bank type of thing to keep the seeds. I find it so amazing to learn about things I knew nothing about. I love cocunuts and did buy some cocunut oil but haven’t used it yet. I heard that the oil was good for your skin and hair, although I haven’t tried it yet. Reading the article made me think about the show “Naked and Afraid” since the players are often in the jungle, trying to survivor and finding cocunuts on the trees. Or on the TV show Survivor, where they often eat and drink coconut juice. In honesty, I don’t know if I have ever eaten a cocunut even though I thought I did. I eat mangos, kiwi’s and oth +Global warming and fires and now being considered to be linked to one another. While being a resident of California, this to me is not surprising. Unfortunately we as a nation need to open our eyes up and realize the impact that we are having on our environment. Even worse is now we have a president who in his own words feel as though global warming is just a fabrication. This is going to cost us more money in the fire fighting department and we are going to see way worse side affects from this problem. +Micheal Moore was right about this. Trump could and did win. The more we dismissed him the stronger he got. I can't stand his attitude and his lack of compassion. But I can understand how he won. Voters were fed up with the traditional lifetime politicians. I think Hillary lost the election more than Trump won it. A lot of people didn't trust her and wanted a change. Now good or bad we have change. +It's always sad when you lose the legends no matter what. For one it makes you feel old but for two you lose any future of their work. It is also sad for the family who loses a loved one and is hard to imagine the responsibility of keeping up the name of the famous person they've loss. I mean how do you know what they would do with the rights of their music or if you should even use them anymore? +It's sad that there are still outbreaks of cholera and other diseases that are easily preventable with sanitation and access to clean drinking water. If we all pitch in just a couple dollars, the cost of buying a bottle of water, I bet we could make a significant contribution to the relief effort in Yemen. +A new study shows injected sperm birth or ICSI have shown long term studies of males born in this matter have lower sperm count. I feel they need a larger testing pool and they also need to understand the lifestyle of the men tested. Usually people that would need a special method to give birth are wealthy as well as unhealthy. Most likely thier offsprings have adapted to this similar lifestyle. +A lot of these news go unnoticed I feel. We have war in Syria and war everywhere. We have accepted it as a part of the world. It's such a shame that it's like this. Conflict has always broken us down and it's never been necessary. I don't know for how long this war has to continue. But I really feel sorry for all the lives that's been lost in this conflict. +It does seem a little disrespectful when someone starts to deface any public property. It is a disgrace and a lack of moral character when something like this happens. No one in their right mind would think of doing this could it could land you in jail for starters. Secondly, you could get sued and in today's litigious society you could go broke rather quick, even with a good lawyer. I guess that's why we have laws. Not only to protect the public, whether it be people or "spaces" because everyone is supposed to be allowed to enjoy the public domain. +It is with many tears, a heavy heart and very mixed emotions that I write that little Isibindi passed away shortly before midnight after a very, very rough 56 hours. She went through such deep sadness in her short life. I was so hoping and fighting to give her a second chance at life. A part of me feels a deep relief – the last two days were very difficult and she had so much to cope with. Little Bindi left this earth lying in my arms (the orphanage had no power so I wrapped us both in a duvet to keep her warm) It never gets easier. RIP little Bindi – may your spirit fly free! +This is disgusting. As many of you know, I am an animal lover. There is not much that makes me sad, upset and angry like any instance of an animal suffering. What this man did is unforgivable. I hope he has a mental illness. I cannot think of any other reason why someone would do something so cruel. +It is awful that there is such turmoil in the Middle East. It makes me so grateful that I am an American. Isn't it sad that Doctors Without Borders is at risk because of the fighting in the Middle East. Those people donate their time to help others and they have to worry if they are going to be hurt or killed. Such a sad area of the world. +I just read about some girls losing their parents. It was very bad. They went to a theme park to enjoy themselves and their parents were killed in front of them. It was a water ride, the kind that seats six at a time. Something mechanical happened on the ride. The maintenance check a few days prior was good, but something screwed up. There were four adults and two girls. The ride flipped over and trapped the adults. The little girls somehow escaped, but their parents were among the four dead. Apparently, the park workers didn't even notice it right away. One of the girls was by the ride exit by herself. The girls may need a lot of counseling for the rest of the lives. It was pretty bad. I would hate to see my family members die in front of me in a tragic accident like that. +This article was eye opening. I can't imagine having to wear masks as I do my normal, everyday activities or go outside. This is so weird. It's kind of disturbing, all of this. I think it's a very good thing for people to donate to the firefighters. Firefighters risk their lives to protect us, we can help them. +Hey, so I just read about this fire in Arizona. It was not super serious and no one besides one person needed to go to the hospital. It was not like super tragic but it just makes me think about my own life. It also makes me really think about my living situation. I have never thought about how I live in an apartment building shared with several other people and that their actions could have severe consequences. For example, say someone above me has a child who is playing with the stove and the parents are unaware. I fire could start and all of that is beyond my control. It really freaks me out now that I know someone besides just myself could ruin my home or personal belongings. Even worse, someone could lose their life. +So apparently there is an infamous retired nba star who is going around and pieing influential political figures haha. At first I thought it was a typo, and it was suppose to be die, but it indeed was talking about someone taking a coconut pie, and slamming it into the face of people. The act seems pretty innocent to me, and is almost sad that he is going to have to face some jail time along with the beating from the security. Obviously, you cant go around doing this, but it is tough not to laugh. +After reading that the amphibian population and specifically ranavirus might be caused by humans it makes me sad but I can understand the situation. We can often do things with unintended consequences that are not noticeable in the beginning. This appears to be the thought here that maybe we have caused these amphibians to become sick because of carrying the disease in or perhaps genetic mutations. Either way, it is a sad situation that will hopefully be able to be reversed before it is too late but these types of things happen in our society without specific intention. I feel for the little froggies though and hope science can find a way to preserve them and their habitat. +There is some killing in Indonesia most likely related to Muslims. Overall I'm not surprised by this news, the Islam religion holds many radicals and there are enough proof that the top leaders of these Islam groups support oppression. Just look at at all the hajibs in these muslim countries these are sad pathetic men that are afraid of women. +Hey, aren't you from the south? Have you had any issues with wildfires in your area? There's all this talk about forest fires and droughts in California, but this is the first time I've heard about stuff going down in your area. Everything okay down there? Make sure you stay safe! I know you don't go out much, but it doesn't take much to have a disaster to fall on your doorstep. +The officer whose car had been hit approached Ms Rader to find she had an "unclasped brassiere" and was trying to put on her blouse, police said.The freshman told the officer that she had been driving back to her residence on campus.The arresting officer wrote in an affidavit: "I asked her why she was not dressed while driving and she stated she was taking a Snapchat photo to send to her boyfriend while she was at a red light."She was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and released from jail on Thursday morning on a $2,000 (£1,600) bail bond, police said. +there has been talks on how this is an agenda that is being pushed right now, just like the massive shootings right now. people are just killing innocent people no matter what the color of theyre skin is although people aare always going to find a way to make it a racial matter or discuss how its biased or how the person was a racist but the only one who knows that is the person who commited the act. +Dear Friend, I just read a ridiculously vapid article about Kim Kardashian and her posting photos of her jewelry on instagram. She was nearly mugged last year and the article is explaining how its a bad idea for her to show off her expensive diamonds online. I think this story is silly and weightless and I dont really see how anyone could care about it. +That article was a steaming pile of nonsense. Storied about criminals emboldened to assault and kill cops by the media's sympathetic bias towards criminals is a regular occurrence these days. Black Lives Matter is a borderline terrorist organization who believes there should be no laws, or at the very least, that black people should be exempt from them. They're in favor of abolishing the police and penal system. What sane person riots over a criminal getting the inevitable ending that comes from leading a lawless and dangerous life? When I read about a white criminal getting killed in a confrontation with the police, I feel relief. My instinct is to say "good riddance" and not go out and loot a liquor store and burn down fast food restaurants. +I have never heard of sleep paralysis but it doesn't sound like a particularly dangerous disorder. We all undergo a state of unconsciousness during sleep where we dream and cannot control certain things in the dream. But this seems to be an extension of dreaming where your brain becomes out of synch with your body. I suspect this may something to do with stress and mental health problems +I am really touched by this story. the rescue just restored my faith in humanity.The success of the rescue operation proves that extraordinary things can be achieved with passion and determination. human conflict causes suffering to both human beings and animals. Suffering animals should not be forgotten or overlooked, even in the midst of human conflicts or natural or man-made disasters. I was very touched and encouraged by these acts of bravery and care towards animals. +I can't believe what's going on overseas. It's so tragic that people in the military are still dying in war, and for what? I thought they would be gone from there by now but they're not. And there's still issues with kidnappings and things of that nature. It's really quite shocking when you think about it. +hey . have u heard about the accident where a fuel tank exploded and around 75 people where burned to death and many more are injured . what a world we live in where people for some profit put their life in danger as well as other . this make me sick to my core . who going to take responsibility for all that life lost and uncomfortable +Dude, there is some pretty messed up stuff going on. I feel like every time I turn on the news or open a newspaper I am reading about pedophilia going on all over the world. I feel like it is much more common than anyone realizes and that at any given moment, I could be walking past someone who is sexually attracted to children. It is crazy to think about and really scary. +When I read this article, to be honest, I do not have any feeling because I am not a fan of all these artists. I do listen to pop songs, but I am not interested in this copyright issues. I would say that copy right is an important part for people to obey because it is a respect to the knowledge and author. +This man lived here almost his entire life. His infractions in which he was charged with are explainable. He literally was getting back his only true property from a more than troubled house. This also was a very long time ago. He has since built himself up a life with a family and now they are looking to deport him. this is a tragedy. We must do something about this! +I feel very sorry for their entire family regarding the divorce. Even though the daughters are now adults that doesn't mean they aren't negatively affected. Twenty-seven years is a long time to be married, and I think this translates to a long period of healing for the parents. Its not a good situation. I also wonder about the impact of the divorce on the daughters' image of the security of marriage for their own lives. It seems that the parents did try for a long time. I wish them well. +Non-human animals are given rights only because of their interactions with human beings. Without involvement with humans, animals do not deserve rights. It is through this interaction with humans that animals are even given moral consideration. As the outcome, animals are becoming even further tarred in society. Humans have and are continuing to handle animals as if they are some kind of material goods. This is considered as being immoral, as animals have their own lives, and they think, have feelings, can feel pain, require love, happiness, and everything else that humans have. As for human rights, it’s always uncertain. +The Native American have been through so much already to try to keep just a small part of the land that they called their own and slow but surely they continue to lose a battle against the USA government.It seems as though it is just a very period of time before the only place to find native Americans with be in the lying pages of our school books. +That poor boy must have just gotten curious and looked down, or perhaps he tripped and fell into it. I can't imagine the pain he must have gone through being stuck in there for days until he finally died. That must have been agonizing and terrible. How could the father not have found him by then? Surely he screamed? It's so sad. +our president party people are making something stupid on some occasions, you see ‘Silicon Valley’ stars recount being harassed by Donald Trump supporters. some one insulting Trump and making fight with them, its not necessary. unwanted fights and unwanted speech should be avoided. because all are having responsible position and work to do, At bar doing nasty things no good using some people name +I tend to be very hard-hearted when it comes to issues of immigration. Yet this is a man for who all intents and purposes is an American, raised here from the age of three and facing deportation for missed paperwork? This is quite frankly a steaming pile of bullshit. There are those who come here, infest neighborhoods and take away jobs from hard working Americans and then there are victims of bureaucratic anarcho-tyranny like this. These types of scenarios are unacceptable. I tend to believe that a system that will let the guilty go free is preferable to one that will punish even one innocent man. Men like this deserve to be treated as Americans, because they are. +The article also good.The four key things can do while helping a friend who may have anxiety or hanging out with their friends as much anymore or are always tired and feeling down. Suggest they see a doctor or health professional and/or help them to make possible, the person's spouse or a mutual friend may be able to give +I hate ISIS. They are a group full of hate and insanity. There is no reason for them to be doing the things they do. They make people suffer and die for no reason at all. They think they are better than other people and should be disbanded. I do not think there is room in this world for people that associate with them and they are highly misguided. I cannot respect them at all. +i think we all need to do a better job of taking care of are forest and water ways because we rely on these to surive and if we are killing animals and fish the wrong way and they start to go away it could have a big impact on us and by that time it could be to late to do anything about it. so we need to put laws in that will help the animals but also help allow us to fish for them the right way not by taking a shortcut +Wow, how dare this person hurt a poor flamingo for no reason!? Why would some random dude go to Busch Gardens and abuse a bird who was minding its own business? Poor bird had to be euthanized because of its injuries! The bird was 19 years old! It seems that there may have to be some sort of background check or mental health testing before you are even allowed to visit a place like this.Just unbelievable the way things happen! Soooo SAD! +This is just one of the negative consequences of long term war in a region. The hospitals in Yemen have been devastated by war and no diseases are starting to spread among the population with no way to control them without outside help. I hope the people of Yemen will be able to find humanitarian aid soon to help them control the spread of disease. +Hey! So I just read this article about the internet in schools. I guess that several years ago, the government came up with this program to get internet and technology in to schools and make it possible for as many or all students to have access to computers and the internet. However, according to this article, this program is not working the way that it was set up to work and students are not actually benefiting from this program that costs A LOT of money! I was upset to read this, as I feel that the internet can be such a valuable tool in education, but then I really wasn't surprised at all to learn that the government isn't doing what it has been set up to do or what it is promising us citizens it will do. Doesn't the government just infuriate you and make you think you could do better? +I feel like the Syrian war situation is just completely out of control at this point, but what often bothers me more is that people who supported Obama for both terms had a sort of blind spot on this issue. When the Arab Spring happened and then the Libyan war and now the Syrian war (et cetera) there was very little meaningful opposition to it from the Democrat-voting side of the aisle. Republican lawmakers just pretended to be opposed to thwart Obama, if they even did that. In reality, the whole government supported "removing Assad" and because that objective was considered SO important, now we have the current situation of extreme tragedy. I feel like it is hard to convey how important this is. +Supposedly there is a lot of unrest in Ethiopia right now over the appropriation of land and government protest. I thought they were doing well and the economy was growing but i guess it has ceased now. Its unbelievable that all this is going on and most people in the states are aware of whats going on. +i like We expect Turkey to safeguard its parliamentary democracy, including respect for human rights and the rule of law, and we are conveying these expectations directly to the Turkish authorities,” Mogherini said in a statement with the EU’s enlargement commissioner,Erdoğan has launched repeated personal attacks on Demirtaş, who analysts have seen as the sole politician in Turkey who comes anywhere near to rivalling his charisma. Demirtaş has made it a personal crusade to oppose Erdoğan’s plan for a presidential system in Turkey, which the HDP says would lead to dictatorship. +Did you hear about what had happened to the kid in china. They found his body dead in a desserted well in China after he was helping his father pick some vegetables or something like that. I just feel like if he was helping his father, then it is hard to believe that his dad did not know he had fallen into the well. Either way, sad story. +I just read about a company is threatening one of the largest populations of Orangutan's in Indonesia by chopping down a critical forest to convert it to a tree plantation. I think it's really disgusting that Indonesia knows they need to preserve their land and wild life but still allows things like this to happen. +it is a very interesting article. quite a good read and has important information. the article did really communicate to me i felt like the author was talking to me trying to relay some sort of information. i like the use of language that the author uses, very simple and easy to understand for everyone. please read it. +I thought this was a pretty interesting article. I learned some things about music and lawsuits. It might be relevant to some of what you and I were talking about some time ago. In any case, it has some new facts that have come to light, as it were, new information or opinions that I had not fully considered prior to reading this article. +Did you hear about the polar bear name Pizza called the word's saddest polar bear? Apparently they are not treating it well in China by not giving it enough space and turning his life into a circus show. He started to inflict self harm because of his living condition. I really hope China comes up with better animal cruelty laws although I doubt this will happen because of our culture difference. It makes me furious knowing animals are being treated like this over there. +This article was about a rash of fires in the south, particularly Appalachia. It mentioned dry conditions causing numerous fires and contributing to pollution that made the air dangerous and unpleasant to breathe. It also said that some of the fires were probably caused by arson, but didn't dwell too much on that aspect. The quoted official mentioned that dry conditions meant more fires could easily be accidentally started and that was a danger. +I feel bad for the Queen. She just lost her husband and now she's sick. I also feel bad for the people over there. They've had rulers as leaders for so long that most of the weren't even alive to experience anybody else. I hope she recovers and is able to get a few more good years out of her life. +The Year's Strongest Storm Sweeps by Taiwan — Typhoon Meranti gathered in strength as it swept close to Taiwan on Wednesday, and with maximum winds of 230 miles per hour it has been called the strongest storm of the year. Meranti was classified as Category 5, the highest on the scale. The storm has brought not only high winds, but also heavy rain, and many Taiwanese cities have flooded. Trains and shipping services in some southern cities had stopped, and most flights were grounded. As of Wednesday, there were only a few injuries. +The disgust I have while reading this story. No one should send there child to school to learn and have to worry about sexual assault in any form. She makes other teachers look bad. Taking a plea deal was her best choice. There is never an acceptable reason for something like this to happen. The fact she had a young daughter too is scary. +Did you read this article? it is awful. Every time i hear about a murder suicide type situation I wonder where someone could have intervened, some doctor, some professional, some family member, who could have have done something to step in so that these people could be alive today? It will drive you crazy if you keep thinking about it. +I think parents complaining about their preteen children are overreacting. Just deal with it and everything will be okay. You can't place them in a toy box anymore or sit them in front of the TV and tell them to sit and watch it until it's done. I'm not worried about this because I have no kids of my own and I could care less. +Can you believe they're doing this? Kicking people out of their homes to expand a stupid airport? Screw these guys. what do you think? Personally, I'm upset and I'm starting a petition. Please sign it if you're against this issue like I am. It's absolutely ridiculous and should never happen, so there you go +Wow, I just read an article that says coconuts could be in danger of becoming much more scarce. There is a bacteria going around that causes lethal yellowing and wipes them out. Due to the water concentration, a traditional seed bank is not an option. You would have to have a living gene bank. That would affect a lot of companies and industries. +I just read about a young male wolf that was shot dead after walking 700 miles in search of a mate. That seems pretty awful. I am thinking about all of the different paths that wolf walked along on his journey, only to see it end in disaster. Apparently it was a government sniper that killed him. I'm not sure why the government has snipers to kill wolves. If they are posing a direct threat, then of course animals must be killed, but I don't see that this wolf was threatening anyway. It seems dishonorable. +Did you hear about the guy who was the father who works for the Swedish government? This guy for some unknown reason contracted a flesh eating bacteria disease. It took them awhile to diagnose what really was wrong with him and he had to take certain surgeries in order to save his life. He talks about how he's grateful to be alive but also wants to live in the moment to enjoy his life as well. It is touching news and I'm happy that he's able to overcome this adversity that came upon his life. +ISTANBUL, have you heard what is going on over near Turkey? Man I am not even really sure myself but it sounds pretty messed up. At least eight members of parliament were charged with some type terrorism-related crimes. This is just sickening to me. Turkey’s parliament voted to strip lawmakers of their immunity +The elections nowadays are just so unrelenting. You have to spend a lot of money on campaigns and trying to put down the other person. It's a wonder that man doesn't spend all his money that he has earned. I don't think he even got a chance to tell anyone what kind of person he is. He gets torn down before he has a chance to do anything. I'm just so mad at the whole election system and the way things are done. Everything about your past and present gets brought up and nothing you do can go unnoticed. +I read about this asshole Arcan Cetin who shot up a mall in Oak Harbor, Washington. Evidently before he did the shooting he had been placed under a no firearm order because he had been charged with domestic assault. I guess it just goes to show that gun laws are a pointless joke; if this guy had been a decent law abiding person no gun law would be needed, but because it was a criminal and a murderer the law didn't do anything to stop him from shooting up a mall. +There is no way the FBI or any government agency could figure out what a lone wolf terrorist was going to do. Some terrorist could walk into anywhere and just start shooting the place up. It's terrible what the United States has become. The only way I see to limit terrorism is to try and limit immigration into the country, but even that doesn't solve things. Seems like if you don't live the right kind of life to someone, whether it's being gay etc., then somebody tries to hurt you. It's terrible. +Dude I seriously cannot believe what happened at the zoo not too long ago. A kid fell into a moat in May when he fell through the barrier. Wow it must have been so terrifying for the family. Then the gorilla picked up the boy and carried him a little bit. They actually ended up shooting the gorilla which is so sad. +Dude, you won't believe this. A six-year-old girl fell down an elevator shaft and died. The elevator company has to be at fault here, but that won't bring her back! I can't imagine how her parents must feel, looking at my little boy and wondering what it would be like if we lost him in such a horrible -- yet preventable -- tragedy. I feel so bad for the parents, but I wonder if they could have prevented it somehow, and if so, it would be hard not to blame them somewhat for what happened. But that isn't to deflect guilt over how horrible they must feel, as no one wants to lose their child in such an egregious tragedy. I hope you pray for the family with me! +I just read an article about a very strong Category 5 typhoon, ‘Typhoon Meranti’, which grew stronger as it swept close to Taiwan on Wednesday. A Category 5 has intense maximum winds of 230 miles per hour, and is being called the strongest storm of the year. There were no deaths reported but a handful of injuries and of course electricity is out for large numbers of residents. The storm may intensify as it heads toward China and is being monitored. What a tragedy could unfold if it makes a direct hit on some of the highly populated areas in China. Could end up being one of the strongest storms of the century. +we just have a long way to go.Too many times we do not believe the victim especially if they are females.Things happen to them especially now and they are coming out but we still ask for proof when we should believe in them most and that should be more than enough proof.We want to believe them and show them that we care as people and that we would do what it takes to get them the justice that they deserve +How sick is this. A visitor at Busch Gardens in Florida attacked a flamingo. Park staff had to euthanize the bird because of its injuries. It seems the flamingo did some sort of unique dance and had become quite well known for it. The guy is being held on bond, charged with animal cruelty. They ought to throw the book at him. +This article is fascinating - takes the concept of global warming and directly ties it with the impact on weather events. These events show a vast contrast between both extremely hot weather and also extreme amounts of precipitation when compared across historical items. Showing it is not just a regionally focused weather pattern, but in fact across the country that is the most troubling. +It makes me sad to think of this man who was mentally unstable attacking people. I wonder sometimes how many attacks are attributed to terrorists when in reality the people might just be mentally ill. I wish we had a better system for treating mental illness in our country instead of locking people away. +It's too bad that we are still in the middle east. I wish Trump would just pull out of the middle east entirely so our soldiers will stop being targets for all the countries that hate us. The longer we are there the easier we make it for them to inflict damage to our troops. It must not be easy for them to be there away from their families. +It is appalling that there are places that would actively want to get immunized and cant due to lack of resources. While at the same time in America there are parents who actively keep their children from getting them. Their should be social consequences in place the parents who intentionally endanger their children like this. I would think a hefty tax that goes to implementing vaccines in impoverished areas would be a great idea. +I said Trump would win. Polls said otherwise, I didn't care, I knew the fucker would win. I think people are not willing to accept that others are really shitty and that someone like Trump would be voted in. They can't see past others. People have too much faith in others, too much trust. There are a lot of vile people out there, just gotta encourage them a little bit and they'll come out. Trump was their encouragement. What will the liberals do now? I don't know. Sometimes I think we will be okay, sometimes I think we won't. I just know that going to one march is going to do shit. You need tens of marches, packed to the brim. You need them every weekend. For months. You need to call your officials, complain, elect them, vote them out. Do more. But one march isn't going to do shit. +Hey, I just read this article today. It takes place in 2011 and is about an inmates at a federal prison that had to choose between living with a violent cellmate or end up in shackles. In the cell they had to spend nearly 24 hours a day together in a concrete room smaller than a parking space, can you imagine? I learned that they have a form of punishment there and it is called "four-pointing". They cuff each limb to the corner of a concrete slab or bed frame. That just sounds like torture to me. The guy that the story is about is serving a 35-year sentence for drug trafficking and assaulting a corrections officer. This prison is known as the toughest prison and I can see why. You really should read this article, it is very eye opening. +It's amazing what people will do to avoid embarrassment. I just heard about a guy who was concerned over urinary track issues and decided the best way to figure out his problem was to shove a stainless steel chopstick into his urethra. It had to be removed via surgery, and it sounds like it was successful, but Jesus Christ man, go to a doctor. +France plans to shut down the jungle as they call it. This was where they kept illegal immigrants trying to make their way to Britain. I certainly feel for anyone looking for a better life and at times wish all countries had open borders as this one isn't so great at times but we do have laws and many immigrants enter other countries legally and I think there needs to be some sort of controls that make the process fair to legal citizens. I feel for the immigrants but it's hard to support their actions when they could also do so legally as opposed to sneaking in by way of hiding in trucks. +Wow, what a horrible and terrifying accident,I feel very bad for the people involved and their families. I wonder what caused this terrible accident, I hope that it was not any human error, because that makes it worse to deal with. I cannot imagine being on that train and the intensity of the accident. It makes me feelvery sad thinking about the deaths of those people on board. +The author of this article I read examined several cases in which youth were killed in gun violence on the same day. They used the personal stories of a couple of people to show how the ready availability of guns contributes to sad situations in which kids are shot and killed. It wasn't as well written as a lot of journalism in this area, but it was pretty interesting to hear the stories of the two cases that were detailed. One involved a violent adult who went on a rampage and shot an ex-girlfriend's child and another person. The other story involved two kids who were left alone in a home that had a lot of guns and one of them ended up shooting and killing the other, claiming it was an accident. The author concludes by calling for more active challenges to the NRA and the second amendment +I hate to hear about officers getting shot but news spreads of officers doing illegal or corrupt things all the time and that will ultimately lead to extremists who want to take matters into their own hands in a revengeful way. I don't like that part of our society but it isn't something that is easy to combat. As long as officers get blasted on news or the internet for illegal actions, people are going to look for ways to retaliate. Its an extremely volatile situation no matter how you look at it. I bleed for all those affected but really don't see what we can do as a society to prevent it. +I hadn't heard about this and I find it surprising. I initially thought of the ecological factor so it's a good thing that it was contained. It's worrisome that people are struggling to find gas anywhere. I imagine those areas don't have good options for public transportation or anything. Maybe it will push people to get smart cars or ride bikes. +I just read this article indirectly about climate change that I know you'll find interesting. It talks about the extinction of three different species. It's a sad situation, but if you read it, it was almost entirely the fault of man, and climate change only played a small part. The worst part is that it could have been prevented if somebody had sounded the alarm in time. +How awful. I have the feeling things like this are going to get more and more common - racists are going to feel more comfortable and much bolder if there's someone in office that seems to approve of actions like these. We need a leader who takes a strong stance against racism and hate crimes like this, or our country will continue to fracture. +I just heard about more poaching of rhinos, animals in general! This one was a black rhino very old, but what I don't understand is why people are so money focused and are willing to kill for it? Out of all the ways we could be making money why is killing animals something pretty defenseless if we just leave them alone, the main focus for money for some? I've never had a desire to hurt an animal for any reason, you? +Sometimes I worry a little, when I'm out in public, about a mass-shooting (or even some crazy with a vehicle running people over) happening. But, on the other side of the coin, the chances are pretty slim of that happening. Plus, if you think about it, the worst thing that happens, if that were to occur, is that I die and then nothing is my problem anymore. I'm in no rush to die, but if it happens, it happens. It's an inevitability. +A reward of $25000 is being offered to catch somebody who is killing horses in the Salt River area. There are several murders of horses every year. Anyways, the group raising the money started a campaign on GoFundMe, and people have donated $25000. The group also is concerned with conservation-related issues. +the phone lines from the suicide prevention line surged after the election. it also climbed when robin williams committed suciide. thankfully there is this prevention line to help those in need who have sucidal thoughts but we need to condition people that committing sucide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem +This article here was a bit confusing and I really couldn't see the point. From what I gathered a Militia from Ohio is trying to defend its' people from an overbearing federal government. I can completely understand why they would want to stand up to the federal government. Apparently, a protestor was shot by the government. I seen nothing in the article that explained the protestor was violent or a danger to the ones around him. Just shot for protesting. This is an outrage! +Read an interesting article about blight in the forests you might enjoy. So true, you just have to live to learn with things. Change is certain. It's the one constant on the planet as in life. Check it out, it's sort of sad fact of reality but as true as can be. Change is gonna come regardless of what you do and regardless of if you want it to or not. +The article that I just read sheds light on how hard it really is for people to get out of timeshares. The article highlighted an older couple. The couple bought their timeshare when their children were younger and they were able to travel. Now, many years later, the older couple finds it hard it get traveler's insurance. They also stated how expensive traveling can be alone. The couple is struggling to get rid of their timeshare. It makes me feel for the couple and other people in this financial burden. +Hey T, I found an article that I thought you would be interested in. It is about how Iraqis found evidence of torture by Islanic State in mass graves near the city Mosul. Can you believe that, they literally just killed and dumped bodies there. From what the articles says in just one hours time they found 20 to 25 bodies. Some where hard to even tell if it were human or not. They still can't figure out how they died but they will soon enough. Though from the state of decomposition it has only been a few weeks that they have been there. All I can say is that were tortured point blank. +I'm no parent and I completely believe Donald Trump is a horrible man. With that being said, I don't think it is correct to shun your child from having a different belief as you. Children should be able to freely be able to open up a discussion with their parents and analyze their opposing views without worrying if they will receive any type of punishment. I love jokes and pulling pranks, but to do that to your own child and then to publicly embarrass them...well that doesn't seem funny at all to me. It worries me that the child will from now on tiptoe around certain topics for fear of upsetting their parent. +A diseased called microcephaly has spread from South America to America. It's a virus which causes severe brain impairment. In the article, a couple's child has the disease and showed signs of impairment early on. They were worried whether a second child would also have the disease but the child did not even though the odds were one in four. +Looks like the drought isn't only affecting California, the drought is affecting other regions in the mid west. The drought creating drier climates making them more susceptible to fires and that region has already lost 100,000 acres to forest fires. The drought is definitely a major issue that needs to be addressed. +While I was reading the article, I found myself not feeling warm or sympathetic. I guess I just do not care, to be frank, about the things happening in Haiti. I don't think others care either. That's where a lot of my focus was, thinking about how others don't care. I think for the most part, people don't generally care about what is happening in other countries. I think Haiti is one of them. I think people have just been forced to care. Anyway, as I said, I don't care about Haiti. +Get too close to a skunk, and it will spray you with a noxious mix of sulphuric thiols, the chemicals in raw onions that make you cry.The spray doesn't just stink: it chokes your lungs and causes temporary blindness, allowing the skunk to get away.The scent is produced in anal glands at the base of the tail, and is fired through nipples attached to the glands. Impressive muscle control allows skunks to target their enemy's face at a distance of over 2m.Without this deterrent, the slow-moving skunks would be unable to escape from predators. +The dwindling wilderness is due, in part to humanity’s activities such as logging, agriculture, mining, and of course, oil and gas exploration. The research team from Australia’s University of Queensland said the Earth has lost nearly 1.3 million square miles of wilderness. They’ve defined wilderness as an area with no human development. Dr. James Watson of the University of Queensland in Australia said globally important wilderness areas are completely ignored in environmental policy, and much has been paid to the loss of species. Without any policies to protect them, they are “falling victim to widespread development,” he added. Dr. Watson also revealed that humanity has one to two decades to turn things around. +I just read the article and I am so surprised that this happened. I feel really embarrassed for her because it seems obvious that she's the one starting trouble but I worry that she might have some sort of mental illness or disorder that she really didn't realize what she said and that makes me feel bad for her. I can understand her concerns about racism but I think that she's just not very credible in this case. I just feel like we need to be really sensitive towards racism and keep an open mind when it happens, but considering that there were other people there and absolutely no one is backing her up, I don't know if we can really take her seriously and that's really sad. Crowe also doesn't seem like the kind of person to be racist or to bully someone for absolutely no reason, either. +So the police found this woman wondering the streets in Philadelphia at 1 am with no coat on in the cold. She was in some kind of daze, probably alzheimer's or something. Anyways, their trying to identify her. It would suck to be in that state of mind. Sounds horrible and potentially scary if your cognizant enough. +I read this article about a bus that was hit a random car from out of nowhere. The bus was parked and the car just plowed into it. It's kind of fucked up but typical. A few people were hospitalized but no one died. Anyways their investigating the crash. These types of incidents happen so often I'm rather numb to their effects. +This is just such a sad situation. I wish they had been able to find out more when they investigated, but I guess they can't always get it right. I really feel for the father. He did what he could to stop his son and he wasn't able to. It reminds me of a certain person I know whose family member was involved in a different kind of violent extremism. Sometimes people you love go on terrible paths and you don't have enough information to do anything until it's too late. +Well Toughie the Frog died. He was in a zoo. He was twelve years old at least. They say he was older since he was caught as an adult. I wonder what gave him such a long life. They don't live long around here where I live. I cannot imagine a frog living that long. That's as long as a dog almost. I hope they earned a great deal from him. +I just read an article about kids being killed on Halloween night. It's an awful tragedy that we need to try to prevent. Because someone was driving stupid, kids were killed. Halloween is a time to have responsible fun and some guy took it to the extremes. It's sad, and I feel for those parents. No parent should have to bury their child. +I have always thought that politics were a scam and this is another example of politics gone wrong. Every country runs into problems sometimes and in this case they would like her to step down from her position. Do you think she really has a say though or will they just force her to step down if she does not volunteer. +It seems like Paris is getting to be a very dangerous place. I know who Kardashian is, but I have never heard of this Sherawat. It sounds like she is par for the course in Hollywood, just another Obama and Hillary supporter. But still, its terrible to be tear gassed and beaten, and I feel sorry for her. +Interesting article, and I can see both sides of the issue. On one hand, it is true that it's incredibly, incredibly hard for people to immigrate to America. The old saying that you "need money to make money" is true in the sense that if you show up on our shores with nothing at all, it's going to be awfully hard to make anything of yourself. That being said, the American dream has always been one of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and being a self-made-man. You need to be able to do things on your own and most of the most successful people on Earth came from abject poverty. +Hello Friend. I am really very surprised at all the things that have happened and continue and continue to happen in the world. Now the big problem we are facing in this part of the United States of America is a new outbreak or virus. The specialists in the field of health still do not know what this problem is due to and how to stop it. Here I write part of what I have learned on the subject. This started in November and the symptoms are fever, a lot of chills, and difficulty to breathe +I hate it when these terrorist attacks happen on innocent people who are just living their lives. I don't know how open societies can completely eliminate them? You can't put the terrorist stigma on everyone of a certain religion and you can't close off your society. There's always going to be religious zealots and crazy people who feel violence is the only way to get their ideas across, but we just have to keep fighting them and trying our best to prevent an attack when possible. +I think with all the social media and news stories, recent incidents involving terror attacks, and those who are of a different race commuting these acts, especially since the 9/11 attack this will always be an issue with people because we are just alarmed, even though some may have nothing to do with terrorism or any type of situation regarding that but they will always be perceived that way because of what happened in the past. It's probably not right of those who are discriminating and the airlines really need to do something about all the complaints. +I am crushed after hearing about the conditions in Haiti after Hurricane Matthew hit the area. The people are literally starving to death and the injured and sick do not have access to enough, if any medical care. There are areas that are completely inaccessible to aid, either medically or food or water supplies. There is extensive looting in Haiti and the situation is extremely dangerous even for those that try to bring in supplies to the people living there. My heart is breaking as I think of all the people, children and adults in Haiti. It is a country that still has not recovered from the earthquake that happened there years before. I think that our country should continue to report on these terrible conditions and try to get aid to Haiti from every source available. +It is nice to see others doing things to help those that are in need or have gone through negative experiences. I think things like this show how the world can come together when it needs to and that other countries do care about their people. This is a fine example and a defining moment that many people should see. +I can't believe this article that I just read. They are making these allegations of Islamophobia and all kinds of crazy notions of hatred against gays, etc. What do they expect people to think when every time we hear of a bombing, it is a muslim. Do they expect people to say thank you? I don't hear any Islamic leaders speaking out against any of the terrorism. Are we just to sit back and say "thank you sir, may I have another." Not only do I not hear any Islamic leaders speaking out against it, I don't hear any muslim citizens speaking out either. As to the gay and transgender stuff, I will speak out against whomever I wish. They have a right to spew their immoral acts all of the place, then I have the right to speak out against their immoral acts which are an affront to almighty God +I honestly can't believe I just read that whole article about a frog. I absolutely despise them. They are some of the most vile creatures on this earth. Ew. But.... there was something pretty interesting at the end of the article. One of the researchers claim that over half of all species will be extinct by the end of the century. That is insane!!!! Pretty sure most of that is due to climate change but we have Donald Asshat and Company who refuse to acknowledge it or its repercussions. +I know that you are an animal lover like I am. It really bothers me that individuals open up zoos and don't really care about the animals. It is wonderful that an organization was available to take these animals out of the zoo near the Gaza Strip. I will not be going to any zoos anytime soon. How about you? Animals need to be free, not stared at and yelled at by little children. They deserve space. For now on when someone asks me to go to a zoo, my answer is nooooo! +This article about a firecracker going off during a protest is about the stupidest thing I have seen in a while. The journalists are pond scum trying desperately to write anything they can to divide people up. College kids can't bear a firecracker going off, they need to institute mandatory military service like Israel does, then maybe they would not be scared chickens crying about everything. +Hey, check this out. This guy ended up murdering his wife for no obvious ad apparent reason, according to this article. He was happily married to his wife and just ended up committing a homicide. It's scary to think about, how it could be possible for someone to just go off like that and kill someone they love. +As a parent, I feel that is definitely one of my responsibilities to teach my children the importance of loving and taking care of our environment. Without the wilderness, the animals will have nowhere to live, and without the wilderness, what will our animals be forced to live in. What I want them to remember is that they are the ones living in the environment, not the environment invading on our lives. We must take care of it in order to make sure that we have a sustainable environment our children's children. +I think that global warming is definitely a very real thing that is occurring today and I feel like it is sad that there are still people who try to deny the fact that it is a very real thing. Sometimes I feel like the people that disagree with scientists and real evidence that global warming is very obvious today is just very ignorant and live in a bubble where they think that everything is fine in the world and everyone is at peace. There are so many reasons why we should be using fewer resources as it is constantly destroying our environment and it is unfortunate that there are people who just continue to deplete our resources without a care in the world. Maybe the effects won't be felt as much in our generation but I am sure that the effects will be felt by those others after us sadly. +I feel like a lot of artists do this or try to do this. Take credit for music or lyrics that others have helped with. This probably happeneds more then we know about. They just made an entire Disney movie on it. Coco. It basically was about 2 singers and the one killed the other so no one would know he made and wrote all the lyrics and music that the one guy stole. I mean any way you look at it it's not right. The guy does serve and pay out and then some for what he has done to his friend. +I wonder who shot him and where. Did he get shot in the chest? The arm? The leg? The back? Where????? And also, where was he when he got shot? Was he inside or outside of the club? Did he drive himself? Was he alone? Did anyone else get shot?????? Sooooo many questions, so little answers. Has anyone been arrested yet? Are there any suspects????? +Cohen moved to New York in 1966 at age 31 to break into the music business. Before long, critics were comparing him with Bob Dylan for the lyrical force of his songwriting. Although he influenced many musicians and won many honors, including induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Order of Canada, Cohen rarely made the pop music charts with his sometimes moody folk-rock. His most ardent admirers compared his works to spiritual prophecy. He sang about religion, with references to Jesus Christ and Jewish traditions, as well as love and sex, political upheaval, regret and what he once called the search for “a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. +So apparently even turtles are poised to suffer from our careless destruction of the planet vis a vis degradation to habitats due to climate change. Though it seems like they will be able to withstand the changes in temperature, it is not at all clear what will be the outcome of the potentially lost habitats they live in due to climate change. These guys have been around longer than we have, as a species. It's really sad to think that we would be responsible for endangering them even further than we already have. +I just read this article about contact lenses. It has some good information about the risks associated with improper wear of contacts. I can't believe there are some people who store their lenses in tap water. Gross! I definitely make it a point to not wear my lenses over the 30 day limit and I try to never fall asleep in wearing them. +I just read an article discussing the impact global warming is having on polar bears. It's really troubling to read about just how much damage is being done, and you KNOW that nobody is going to do anything about it for years here. We have a man-child president, and while the majority of the biggest countries are trying to make policy changes to fight global warming, our president is dismantling our E.P.A organization, and putting idiots that don't give two craps about the environment in charge. So when can we expect polar bears to go extinct? Because you know by the time we get around to helping them, it'll be too late. The older, conservative generation just needs to go. Anyways, you should really read this article. I told you this was an issue that needed to be addressed, so go read it. +I can't say that I specifically care about the election, and would rather have someone besides the two main parties win for once. I also personally dont like Trump, as I find him to be a rather bombastic idiot, and wish Hillary wuold have won, though I didn't particularly want either of them. I hope he takes the stress of the election into becoming a better leader. +Did you hear about what happened in Afghanistan? There were civilian and military deaths during battles with the Taliban. I cannot imagine what the Afghan family members are going through or what the families of the Americans here are going through. It is such a great loss. This war has got to end soon. I know that the US troops are just trying to help the Afghanis but there are so many things that go on during these battles. I pray an end comes soon. +This is a nice little distillation of American culture. I cant criticize the entire thing enough. The shallowness of the need for fake aesthetics, the absurdity of the legal system, the shoddy products of huge corporations playing to the solipsism of American sheep. It's just another sad piece of shit. Calgon, take me away. +Can't believe the jury failed to convict the people involved in the National Wildlife Refuge takeover in Oregon. The people weren't even from Oregon. They traveled half way across the country, invaded the facility, and barricaded themselves inside. Yet the jury didn't find reasonable cause to believe they impeded Wildlife Service workers from doing their jobs. Bunch of alt-right would-be cowboys. +Whenever you hear about tragedy you can't help but put yourself in their place and worry about how they feel. You wonder about how they react, and how they can believe that a simple accident can hurt someone that they love. I am sure that they will second guess themselves, and wonder how they could let something like that happen. +Can you imagine what kind of heartache these people must be going through? I don't know what it would be like to have to live in fear that your own country is going to be bombed, let alone receiving a messages basically telling you that if you don't get out now you could die from a bombing. Politics is making life so hard for so many innocent people. +Muslim immigration seems to have some unique issues. I think the solution is to hold off with allowing much Muslim immigration until Muslims start polling better on ideas involving apostates, etc. As evidenced by polls (even in European countries), the ideas Muslims accept put them at odds with basic educational values. I think seeking a professional to talk and try to fix mental issues can be a good thing. The right therapy can likely help certain people. What concerns me is living situations that are unhealthy for economic reasons, and psychological problems concerning motivation. I suspect some mental issues may not be helped by seeing a professional. +Considering that since Donald Trump got elected, there has been a rise in reported hate crimes that have turned out to be hoaxes, I'd say there's at least a fifty percent chance this is a fake too. Even if it's not, it didn't happen to me or anyone I care about, and it didn't happen anywhere near where I live, so it's of absolute zero concern to me. Nothing more to say about that, but I know I have to fill in a certain number of characters. +i feel liek this is a very opinionated article. Im not sure who wrote this article but I truly feel like they have alot of raw mixed up emotional feelings that they cant get out. Although, we are all very aware of the constant changes going on int he world with equality and everyone going through the issues of being unjust and such..its alot to handle and alot of people just dont know what to do. i feel lbad for the people in the story +Let’s hope those are very isolated incidents triggered by people with mental health issues. It might be that there were crazy things like that happening before but we heard less about them. Still, I’ve been reading everywhere that hate crimes or incidents motivated by racism are climbing. And it’s not surprising considering that bigots are being empowered by people in high positions, some in a very high position… +I had no idea that the Great Lakes area had problems with earthquakes. I'm glad that it wasn't a bigger on but it is still had how much damage was done. I feel better for those families that lost loved ones. You would think in this modern age we would be able to detect earthquakes sooner and have enough time to evacuate an area. +This is a very sad article. Being of of the first female fighter pilots must have given her and her family great honor. I think that there should be more training for all pilots who deal in these acrobatic flying routines. I also think that women have just as much of a right to become a fighter pilot as men. +The article that I just read was about the ongoing violence and fighting between Kenya and South Sudan. The words in the article really struck a nerve with me. It made me cry. There have been thousands of people who have lost their lives during this argument. It makes me want to reach out and help in any way possible. The fighting needs to stop and peace needs to be restored between these two nations. +Josh, I just read about the Calais refugee camp that was set up in France to house the people from Syria that the maniac killing his own people drove away. The problem with all of this is the country of Syria must come to a place where they take back what has been taken from them. But you know why they can't? The citizens were not allowed to be armed and any weapons they have now have been supplied by us and the allies. Perfect example as to why our founders wrote the second amendment. +I just read about all kinds of rioting going on in Ethiopia. It's really a shame what is going on over there. This is an area which has hopes of dramatic infrastructure improvement and new jobs. Many people and organizations have invested a lot of money and now have to wonder whether they should continue to invest in an area which may be destroyed by rioters. It's so sad to hear about these beautiful farms and nurseries just being gutted and destroyed. The farms now have all these workers and equipment with nothing to do. The farms are gone. It sounded as if some of the elders in the community tried to calm things down, and it worked in some areas, but other areas just raged on with riots and destruction. Can't these people see that they are ruining their own future? +isis is now one of the major terrorists group operating in iraq . the Iraqi security forces are in constant war with it . isis have killed around 800 ppl in Iraqi city of Mosul and using 1000s of civilian as human shield to stop Iraqi forces advance and it make me worried that when it going to stop . we eliminate one group and another one pop up . this is a major concern for the world +This is yet another tragedy in need of our justice! This time we have a plane crash that had killed some very important polish people. This has recently come under investigation for foul play. These people need justice in their case and we should support any justice that will bring the truth out for these unfortunate people! +All in all the EU have to help the refugees. We have to treat people like we like to be treated. If there were a war here we also would be flee. We are afraid for violet’s so they otherwise they would say there. If they are in the EU we have to make sure there are no arguments , so we can still have our peaceful society. And I am sure that we have one thing in comment, we all live on the earth. +I feel that it is a common thing to have intentions misplaced. The article seems to discuss what the difference is between perception versus reality. I love to understand what part of reality I can dissect to understand how I can do better myself. For example if a family member tells me that something does not look right on my body I usually take it off. For example I had a bad weave on my head one time and I took it off after church and never wore it again. I love to always look my best and if I don't I will usually correct the situation. The perception of fantasy is often when people get in trouble because they perceive it as reality. I have always received constructive criticism from my parents so that I can also distinguish the difference as well. Parents should often be the critic ok. +Take a look at this story that I found online. It's about forest fires being spread out over a couple of different states, pretty interesting. I know that I sent you the pictures of what was happening around here, but you might be also interested in reading this story about how it is happening all over the place. +It is sad that this is what is needed to get some people to pay attention to the immense damage that has been and is continuing to be done by global warming. Something should not have to affect you in order for it to matter. There are things that are a lot more important than your coffee fix. For instance, the people-like the people in the story-whose livelihoods are being put in danger because of global warming. +I just read an article about the presidential campaign trail that focused on how sexist one of the candidates is. It's important that these issues are brought up, especially when it's on a national stage like this. I'm glad to hear people are publicly voicing their concerns and even revealing the troubling incidents they went through involving sexism. I hope after this political race is over, we can all reflect and learn to treat each other better. +The situation in Delhi is very much a product of a 3rd world country trying to modernize. the use of fossil fuels and lack of sanitation has led to this country having intense smog problems. This has reached the point where it is harmful to children everyday even in school. Idk when this issue will be resolved but soemoen has to interevene. +Isn't it just a shame the US is no longer the world leader when it comes to handling things like the Somali refugees? We should be in the lead with the repatriation efforts to help these poor people. Now, I know that we can't help every person in every nation but we should really be taking the international lead on issues like this. +Since Trump became president it has been clear that people who are racist, misogynist, and sexist people have been hiding, probably because society overall expresses these things as a bad thing. But since they see a leader that is like them, it gives them fuel to be bad people in public and even are proud of it. I just hate Trump and everything about him as well as his supporters. +Tigers are truly majestic creatures, and it's a shame that their numbers are decreasing. India cannot fight this battle on its own. The poachers sell to international buyers, so the governments of other countries should step in and help the Indian people combat these poachers. There should be a negative stigma on using any products made with tiger parts so that people would feel ashamed to contribute to this sordid smuggling trade. +And yet the deniers still claim that there is no scientific basis for the claim of human involvement. I bet some of them will latch onto the El Nino contribution to "prove" that it's just the randomness of nature. However, they will fail to understand that it's only a random amplification of the effects that we a directly responsible for by spewing so much CO2 in to the atmosphere. We won't get them to act until people are literally dying in the street. +Not a surprise to see the United States falling further down in the global rankings in yet another category. I think by the time our next Presidential election comes around we will be no longer be considered a destination country but anyone in the know. I don't see why this particular stat isn't a matter of culture though. I haven't met many women who expressed an interest in STEM and most of them didn't even want to talk to people who were into it when I was in college. Now women might be more interested but it still isn't going to be anything approaching equal because the culture doesn't work that way. +Wow! I cannot believe I forgot about the Zika virus! How can we advance as a society to try to grasp a better understanding of this deadly virus? You would think as advanced as human civilization is we would understand more. Pregnant women who get Zika seem to be in the most danger. The effects it can have on the fetus is horrible! It is very scary to know that it can be passed along sexually even if a person was not feeling the symptoms.Africa and Asia seems to really need help fro the rest of the world in fighting this problem! +I always read about these house fires and never think about them again. That is something that I should do less of. Maybe I can find a way to donate time or money for families in tragedies so that they can get back on their feet as soon as possible. This recent reversal of my attitude was because a friend of mine recently had their apartment burn out due to a building fire. +Thinking about the refugee situation around the globe is so disheartening. There are so many people who are only trying to survive who cannot find support anywhere. Those of us in countries with resources really need to start pushing out legislators to accept and support these people, especially when their situations are the result of our own policies. Humans need to look out for each other far more--we should value every life the same, no matter the country of its origin. +A mother pushed a stroller onto an elevator that was not there. The baby dies of injuries and the mother was hurt. The building had over 100 elevator violations but did not stay on top of things to make sure the elevators were working properly. The building neglience caused an infants death. I cant imagine going through something like that, that poor mother. +I really don't care about the article I just read. It didn't make me feel any sort of emotions, but I'm forced to fill in this box. Is boredom an emotion? I felt that while reading that massive wall of text. Stuff like the economy and businesses isn't anything worth feeling emotion over. It's also not even really worth worrying about when it's not something you can actually do anything about yourself. +This is just part of the troubling times we live in. There is a monster in the white House that a majority of the people did not elect and the Russian government had a hand in coming to power. He is breaking laws everyday and has the most corrupt cabinet in my lifetime. His agenda is simply to cause chaos and to profit off this as much as possible. The sooner this failed experiment is over the better of the nation will be. The only hope is that he doesnt start a nuclear war and that he will eventually be tried and brought to justice for his numerous crimes. +I’m glad that I don’t work at Well’s Fargo. To think that they would push their employees to the brink of suicide and having mental health issues is totally ridiculous. And all in the name of the almighty dollar. I wish companies cared more for their employees, than their bottom line. I have worked for a company for over 30 years and in the early years, the company cared about its employees. They treated us like family. The last ten or fifteen years have been so difficult. They could care less about their loyal employees. They treat us like dirt. All they care about is how much money they can make, never caring about how much stress they are putting on their workers. There has got to be a better way. I’m so glad I will be retiring in another year or so. I don’t think I could st +I reallly think this is quite sad. Poor people have the same sort of problems all over the world. I think this is because the rich are always keeping people down. I think that they pretend like everything is a racial struggle, but I suspect that the problems we face are largely because the rich are filthy rich and they have no empathy for the rest of us. +This article is quite disturbing in the way that Americans act towards one another. The display of the Confederate flag means different things for different Americans all over the country and it kind of makes me sad with the way people treat one another. Being an American means uniting as one, not fighting over a flag or the real issue, legal citizens who may not be white. +Hey have you heard about the polar bears? This global warming thing is going to take over there home land so fast. They will not be able to out swim the things that will b more of a chance at getting them because of whats happening right now. We have to help save the polar bears. Its been pretty terrible how the goverment and companoes just dont care to help save these animals. +Another doom and gloom article about Trump. Not surprising, ethics and truth passed out of journalism long ago. Trump is not against renewable power, he just wants a free market and he is right. The free market is the only way you will get renewables to the efficiency that they need to go global and push carbon out. If you coddle them they will get fat and lazy and never move forward. The Paris treaty was a push toward globalism and a boon for the liberals who dream of an elite class ruling the world. +This story makes me feel upset and aggravated because I hate that it is so easy to obtain guns in this country. I truly believe that there is no reason for anyone to have a gun and wish that the laws would change to make this the case, so I always feel frustrated reading about random shootings. I hate that we are subject to everyone else's violent whims as long as they can easily purchase a gun, so that makes me feel angry and also worried. I also feel sort of exhausted, since this happens in the news so much it just feels like yet another shooting story I have to be aware of, it's tiring. +How could this guy been shot several times, yet managed to make it to the hospital and tell what happened to him. It would seem like he would be in critical condition if that's the case. Sounds very suspicious. And for what reason would a random person just be blindly shooting in a night club. The reporters need to get down to what really happened there. +Did you see that Leonard Cohen passed away? You know, the guy who made the Hallelujah song. Poor guy passed away after suffering an injury but from what I hear he passed away in his sleep and he didn't suffer at all which is really good. It really makes you think that if he would of went to the hospital he might actually still be alive. Just make sure you get yourself checked if you ever hurt yourself. +A priest was abducted and tortured in Mexico. Authorities think it was a robbery but the church is convinced it was due to him being a human rights activist. It sucks that it happened but in all fairness Mexico is a shit hole and well known for cartel actions such as this. How many of your peers have to get abducted and killed or tortured before you learn to shut the fuck up or get the fuck out? In the end nobody but themselves to blame. +Wow! I didn;t know tigers were in such trouble! This makes me want to do more research and donate to the National Tiger Conservation Authority. We must protect these animals! It is so disturbing that poaching is still so problematic in today's society. I have heard of poaching of other animals, but rarely about tigers. I hope something can be done, and soon, to help tigers. +Did you see where there was a buss crash on the highway this morning? I don't think anyone got badly hurt, but it just shows you how quickly things can go from good to bad. I hope the one at fault wasn't doing something stupid like texting while they were driving! I can't stand those people! Well, however it happened, I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt or killed. +Trump is a fool. Climate change is real and it's starting to effect us directly. I wonder when he'll realize we have to do something. How much does it take? Maybe his golf curse has to catch fire just like the forests. This doesn't only effect us but the whole world and the life on it. United States needs to take action before it's too late. +Well nothing about this article was suprising to me. I'm sure it wasn't to you either. We've talked before about how much politicians like to brag, but there's very little to back up the whole "America is the greatest country in the world" thing. Interesting that South Korea has the most patents per people though. +This is also good. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, were "deeply saddened" by the passing of Reno, calling her "an extraordinary public servant who dedicated her life to advancing justice, equality, and innovations in criminal justice that would save and lift lives." "As Attorney General for all eight years of my Presidency, Janet worked tirelessly to make our communities safer, protect the vulnerable, and to strike the right balance between seeking justice and avoiding abuse of power," Clinton said in the statement, listing some of her top accomplishments. +So when I was a kid, the big thing I used to remember was reading about the poachers in Africa grinding down animal parts to then put into powder for men to snort to work like viagra. Today apparently those guys are going even further. They are hunting everything and anything just to make a profit. Not a surprise +I'm deeply disturbed to hear about actions being taking that could potentially curtail black Americans' ability to vote. The GOP has obviously been working to sabotage voting of minorities because they see them as a threat since they do not traditionally vote for Republican candidates. This needs to stop. +wow its just amazing to me how many countries look the other way while civilians are being killed or injured . Over 300 killed and over 400 injured in less then one month . There is no excuse for this . There is nothing on earth that should make this ok . I am sad for them . SO many lives are affected when will it stop? +Things are really heating up i dont know how much longer we can keep things up like this. if we can help they should tell us clearly how we can help out so that the temperature doesnt get too high. if it gets too hot then things will be really messed up for us and our childrens futures will be in danger +Hi mike, I hope you are. It's been hard to have these days over there when you need me here, my friend. I hope that you are taking care of all the dangers that you are going through, that you do it for us, for your people, your country but leaving aside all that you must teach in you and your family that are waiting for you here I hope you are well and can see you soon mike +I just read about the Elephants being killed for their ivory. It is such a sad thing that these elephants can't be protected by all nations. I think we should try to do more. Maybe do some research and see if we can help. I would sure hate to see elephants disappear and that is the way things are going right now. It would be a shame to lose these beautiful animals, just because of ivory. +When is the world going to realize that they need to start charging bullies with murder when kids kill themselves? Seriously, if you torture someone emotionally, how is that different from doing it physically? It's not. You're doing an insane amount of damage to someone's psyche, enough for them to commit suicide. Prosecute the kids bullying as adults, and start punishing these kids harshly enough to deter them from doing it ever again. Any adults aware and ignoring it? Charge them as accomplices to murder. +I just read a story about the tragic deaths that occurred as a result of the terrorist group in 2015 in Paris. It was gruesome to hear one man's account of the story. He said the shootings went on for 3 hours, and when stopped, it was only so they could load more ammunition and fire more. I couldn't help but think about the people out in the crowd who where hit and killed. It's disturbing just imagining that scene and the terror. And then one man, George Salines, got a call no one would want. That his daughter was among the 130 killed. The loss has affected his whole life, he left his job and everything. In one moment, anyone can be affected by severe tragedy. +I read an article about using the Internet and computers in the classroom, and how it affects kids. The article mainly talked about E-rate, a government program to subsidize the Internet and broadband access. It said that most classrooms are now connected, but the millions of dollars are still being spent. The program seemed to be wasting a lot of money and wasn't showing good results. I agree that just buying computers and being on the Internet doesn't guarantee that kids are receiving a good education. +It looks like Wells Fargo was illegally confiscating cars of service members to pay off debts, repossessing them. This is a terrible situation and thing to do, I can't imagine having my car repossessed, and how awful that must be on so many levels. Not having your car, having to watch them take it away, and everything. +Thinking of the earthquakes, makes me think of the issue on global warming and climate change. It seems like we are having more and more natural disasters. This leads you to think of the cause and how climate change had to be happening. I could not imagine. Shows you to be grateful, you never know what could happen. Something are just out of your control. +You know powerbars and protein bars? Well I just read about the next step called colon cleanse bars. No its not a diet food. Supposedly you eat it to "prep" your stomach for a colonoscopy. Well I bet you anything that in a week after production, every model and Hollywood actress starts popping these things as a diet pill +The political divide in this country has only gotten worse over the years. Trump in particular has allow a rather nasty aspect of American society to rise to the surface and be open about their nastiness. This means that people on opposite political spectrum cannot see eye-to-eye at all. This makes compromise even worse and less likely to succeed. +We should really do more for our veterans who come back with traumatic experiences. They do so much for the country, but they barely get the care they need when they come back. How rude of our president to make little of their situation. He has never and will never be their own shoes. He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth with no pity for anyone. +I can't begin to imagine going through that night. The recollection from the survivor is horrifying. I cannot fathom the thoughts and emotions of those who were there trapped for hours. The loss of so many makes it easier to become desensitized to it, but hearing the individual stories makes it so real and sad. +Russia claims bombed UN aid convoy was 'escorted by terrorists A UN aid convoy that was bombed on Monday night was escorted by a "terrorists", Russia has claimed in response to accusations it was behind the deadly attacks. Moscow has denied hitting the UN convoy, which was bombed as it delivered food aid to opposition-held parts of Aleppo on Monday night, minutes after the military declared the end of a ceasefire. The strikes, carried out by either Syrian or allied Russian warplanes, hit Syrian Red Crescent trucks as staff members were unloading aid in Urem al-Kubra in Aleppo province. More than a dozen were killed including Omar Barakat, the organisation’s director. Pictures shared by activists showed burned bodies next to a UNHCR badge. Russia's defence ministry relea +In my opinion, the girl mentioned in the article is just plain stupid. She shouldn't be taking selfies in the first place while driving, not only to mention that she was topless just so her boyfriend could get a look at "the goods." While you're driving, you should be paying attention and not playing on your cell phone because you're putting the lives of others at risk. +The modeling industry is very different than the rest of the world it seems. I read an article that male models, even the best ones, are paid a fraction of what female models earn. I guess this is because a lot more money is spent by woman in the fashion and personal products industry. The article says more men are grooming themselves and it's starting to bring wages for male models slowly up. I guess that's just business. +Now a days crime rate increased and now no safe for Muslim religion on USA, the american's doing something fishy and wanted. on New York city A Muslim woman’s clothing was set on fire while she walked down New York City’s Fifth Avenue, the police suspected a man who is standing with lighter and who ran away. +This is a sad article. Some many things are unknown for those born outside the country. It is always unfair that others are able to get deported after spending most of their lives in the USA, especially those that came at a very early age. Also US parents that adopt children should be granted us citizenship. +I can't believe what a nuisance gold fish can be. The fact that they can cause so much damage to an environment and have no natural predators is crazy. It makes you second guess flushing the fish down the toilet as it may survive. It's hard to believe that they get so big since they are usually just little fish in a small tank. Also it's weird that they travel so far considering we usually just see them swimming in circles. +I'm just in shock at what I read. All these migrants attempting to make a better life for themselves ironically met an untimely and unexpected end. We must think about all these poor people who are forced to flee and find better lives. We must learn to accept them instead of having them forced to survive. +I had no idea that Zika was discovered in 1947 and that there was an outbreak in 2007. As far as I knew, it was only the very recent outbreak that Zika was discovered. How wrong I was. It was actually really heartening to read this, because I want to start a family in the next few years and I was practically twitching with anxiety. I tend to get bitten by a ton of mosquitoes every summer no matter what I do while my husband doesn't get bit at all. And what about global climate change pushing things like this further north? It is good to know that it comes in and out of viral "fashion" and that there is a herd immunity aspect to it. Maybe I can put down the mosquito shotgun for now and aim for a slightly stronger spray for my clothing. +I'm glad that she let her customers know right away, that was very responsible of her. There's so many scammers out there and people who try to rip people off you can never be too careful. I'm always real careful when I order anything on the internet checking reviews and everything because I've been ripped off before. I ordered a handbag and it wasn't anything like it was perceived to be online. +So sad. Why is it that the social media giants can quickly shut down conservative speech, but cannot get a handle on these "suicide groups"? Mental health needs to be taken more seriously in this country or any country. With mental health not covered by a lot of insurance policies, suicide and depression will continue to be problems. I feel for these kids. I know what it feels like to feel depressed and hopeless. But anyone that preys on kids in these conditions needs to go to jail. It infuriates me. +Trump is a completely terrible president. Don't you agree? He's done nothing for the country, it's no wonder that he's gone down so far in the polls. anyone who supports him better comment so I can unfriend you right now. It's ridiculous. If you support him, you support racism, homophobia, xenophobia, divisiveness, and hate. +People love to go and see animals and experience them in the wild, especially in their natural habitats. You have to stop and think how this can be affecting these said animals. Public access to wild animals in their natural environment can drop birth rates and even cause death to the animals. They can become endangered and some people even go as far as to hunt them. +Global warming is real. The effects that is having on the polar bears will soon have the same effects on us. The research is showing that the bears are having shorter seasons of breeding and hunting. The ice is melting at a constant rate, but there is already a 7 to 9 day shift on the b time that they spend on the ice. They do most of their hunting on the ice and that how to meet their mates, so it is very important to them. It may not seem important to you yet, but as the Ice melts it will not only hurt the bears it will hurt you too. Rising sea level will hurt people like you that live in coastal areas. I hope you change your mind on how you feel about global warming and the melting of the ice. Our actions may have an affect on the polar bears and I believe we should think about it. +After reading this article on some of the federal prisons, I am extremely upset about the treatment of prisoners in these facilities. The way that the guards are treating the prisoners are literally inhumane. I understand that the prisoners are convicts and felons and really deserve to be place in prison as their punishment, but there needs to be accountability for the actions of the guards mistreating them and basically treating them like animals. Prisons are about rehabilitation or at least they should be, but in this article with the countless reports from prisoners about very distressing and disturbing situations I can't fathom to understand what goes on in the minds of these guards running the prisons. We seriously need to do something about these conditions. +I still don't like Kim Jong-un, but he may be starting to realize that being cooperative and living peacefully is a better way of living and leading, rather than the aggressive, threatening leader he is trying to show us in the past. We may never know his real motives, but as long as North Korea cooperates and be a productive nation, then a lot of other countries will help them in times of need. +My amazement with the acts of random humans never ceases. I often question how it is that I, another random human in this mixed up shit-hole we call "Planet Earth", can have unlimited empathy (to the level that I won't even squash a bug) and other people will go out of their way to run over an animal crossing the road. Humans can be rather sadistic and disgusting individuals. Every single day of my life I hear of some crazy story about someone beating something to death. +I am shocked and saddened by this. What a sad and terrible tragedy. I feel so sorry for all the victims and those affected by this event. I can't even imagine how devastating this must be for them. What an incredible catastrophe. My thoughts and prayers and best wishes go out for all the many people affected by this tragic catastrophe. I hope that everyone stays safe for the foreseeable future. I am still in shock. +This situation I read about concerning refugees fleeing to Mediterranean countries such as Greece and Italy is sad and concerns me. Clearly the conditions in their native countries have gotten to be so unbearable that they are willing to risk their own and their families' lives to try for a different life in another country, with no guarantee that life there would be an improvement. Its difficult to understand. Life must be so terrible in these countries due to horrendous governance, which I suppose is something difficult for the typical American to picture. I'm glad that we live in a country where there are relative freedoms and the individual and his or her family can live independently and get their needs met and wants. Living in fear is no way to live. +Wells Fargo has seem to hit an all time low is the company satisfaction and moral. The super giant bank seems like it does not care about the well being of its employees mental health. Mental health in the work place is very important for a long and energetic life. It seem like this bank doesn't even care. Employees have noted that there have been thought of suicide and hurting themselves as a result or the work load. +All of you know that I love birds. This article was hard for me to read because of that. Wind turbines are killing a lot of birds, including eagles. It's really very sad. It makes me feel awful. I am all for wind turbines and renewable sources of energy because of global warming and coal, but this is awful. I don't want these poor birds to die like this. Read this article and you'll see why. +You know, the world has progressed so far in the last few hundreds years, that it is slight off kilter that we allow the disappearance of goods and services to ensue. Is it always the fault of big business and government to allow things to go wrong as the case with diseases coconut and the potential that they cannot be saved. Are we not smart enough to ensure that before something disappears from the face of the earth, that we find a way to correct it, protect it, live with it. What happens when we run out of coconuts. Nothing bad will happen but we need not exploit things just cause we can. +I don't know if you ever owned or read a copy of National Geographic magazine but there is something interesting that has occurred in the news lately. It appears that the little Afghan girl, who was made famous on one of their covers, was arrested for trying to cross into Pakistan. She was trying to enter as an unregistered immigrant instead of a refugee. The Pakistan government wants to have her arrested. I mean afterall, she's just trying to do what's best for herself by escaping a land that is overrun with various terrorist groups and warring clans. I'm not sure if even the UN can provide her the assistance she needs. What it really comes down to is a matter of trying to get out of a bad situation in favor of one that is much more promising. I really think this is unfair to me. +Hey, I think that you should check out this article. I feel bad for the citizens down in Mexico City and South America. They are going through some troubled times and America is barely doing anything to help out with their situation. Those children do not deserve the life they are going through at the moment and I believe that we should do something to make them feel like they are proud to be apart of their country. +Global warming is an issue that has been brewing for some time and seems to be getting torn in all directions as it is not a grey issue but a black and white issue meaning it is either happening or it is not. It is hard to see which side has the more valid argument over the other since everyone involved is so passionate about their side of it all. +I bring you sad news today, my friend. A male wolf member of the Huckleberry pack has been slaughtered. How can they do this without consequences? This event happened in Montana. I have heard similar stories in that region of wolves being gunned down, especially from helicopters. It makes my heart feel heavy. I know you will feel the same way. I am strongly considering giving a donation to the Center for Biological Diversity because they are fighting on behalf of wolves to stop this murder. It was so cruel because the male was simply wandering for a mate. He didn't deserve what happened. +No need to read this article for my fellow animal lovers. Its just sad and kinda infuriating. People are just worthless shits. There really isnt much else to say about this. It was a preventable accident that didnt have to happen but did anyway because of people's thoughtlessness and carelessness and probably for fucking financial reasons as well. +Drunk driver I’m guessing. It is horrible. I hope he rots in jail. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers. It’s not fair that he gets to live. He took the lives of a mother and her children. I can’t imagine what I would do if that happened to my family. Life is so precious. It can be taken away so fast and so randomly. +I certainly feel bad for people having to live in such horrible conditions. However, I also feel bad for the regions that these refugees are going to. It has to be a huge strain on these countries to accept large numbers of homeless that will just depress their economy. It is a tough situation and I can see both sides of it. +I don't understand what I read here. The students were hijacking buses? What the hell? Regardless, the local police should not have turned them over to a drug cartel. I'm sure they are probably dead by now, but I support the family finding out what happened and get justice. They were kids, they didn't deserve to be killed for this. +I have not heard of this story, but wanted to see if you knew anything about it. I know we were talking the other day about being worried about getting stuck in a situation like this because of all the recent shootings. I think this story was a real eye opener for me, because it shows just how easy something like this happening would be. I feel that what you said about mental health and paying more attention to the youth is really another central point to this story. This story made me think even more about owning a gun and having a open carry permit to keep safe and be able to protect my loved ones and family. +Hello, I have just read this article and have to say that it was a very good and interesting read. It is about the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and they discuss how smoking should be banned in all parks, zoos, and playgrounds to reduce the chances of children growing up thinking that using cigarettes is normal. I can see why some might say that this is the last step before criminalization of the product and consumer. +Talking about Donald Trump is so depressing at this point. I wish that article had a little more about climate change in it, which seems to be the current biggest actual crisis of his presidency, but for some reason (horrifyingly) that topic divides people.I want to hear from people who have voted for him and who's minds have changed. +The research team from Australia’s University of Queensland said the Earth has lost nearly 1.3 million square miles of wilderness. They’ve defined wilderness as an area with no human development. Dr. James Watson of the University of Queensland in Australia said globally important wilderness areas are completely ignored in environmental policy, and much has been paid to the loss of species. Without any policies to protect them, they are “falling victim to widespread development,” he added. Dr. Watson also revealed that humanity has one to two decades to turn things around. To date, the world has a total of 30.1 million km2, or around 20 percent of the world’s land area, that remain as wilderness, with the majority being located in countries in North America, North Asia, Australia and Nort +It's interesting that Hughes was denied entrance at first - he had claimed that Muslim guards worked with the terrorists, but later retracted that and apologized. Might have been a bigoted knee jerk reaction. It is nice that these bands came back to honor those lost in the attack. I bet it was very emotional to be there. +I dont really have feeling towards the article i just read. This article did not really interest me in the slightest. On the other hand i do feel like any one that is associated with bin laden or that any one that is as sympathizer or a terrorist should be indicted and charged with acts of terrorism. +I just recently read an article about the drought out in the West. I had heard about the lack of water supply in California but I hadn't heard anything at all about the suffering in Nevada also. It seems that lots of Nevadians, especially the Native Americans who own land there are in trouble from the lack of water. With everything dying, it is difficult for them to keep animals alive. Is it also causing problems in families. Who would think that lack of water would be the cause of violence, abuse, and neglect. Such a sad article. +Hundreds of people marched through the city, disrupting traffic and spray-painting graffiti. Authorities reported instances of vandalism and assault during a rally that organizers had billed as peaceful earlier in the day. In other parts of the country, spirited demonstrations on college campuses and peaceful marches along downtown streets have taken place since Wednesday. –– ADVERTISEMENT –– A mainly peaceful protest by about 3,000 people ended in Los Angeles early Saturday with about 200 arrests for failure to disperse after police broke up the lingering demonstration. Hundreds joined a Friday afternoon “love rally” in Washington Square Park in Manhattan. +Why do people think they can just illegally enter a country? The article sounds so sympathetic and bias. Why do people act like coming here illegally is not breaking a law? "They haven't broken any laws!" Yes, they have. You break the law when you enter illegally! What the fuck! And you got Liberal scholars defending immigrants, repeating that nonsense of, "They don't break any laws!" What the fuck? As a Mexican, I am appalled by other Mexicans defending this nonsense and seeing Mexico encourage this illegal immigration shit. Mexico needs to fix itself so that it can house people that won't want to run away from it. Fuck Mexico, they have ruined a lot of lives and they are not held responsible. Quit being politically correct about Mexico. Hold them accountable. +To make sure that others are becoming a known way with how others are going to perform, with how others are going to be and how the people are being shown with how they're being done. To make sure that I can be done with how it can be done with how it can't be done. It has to be with how others are doing and making sure that has a lot of things, which make others understand with how their message and be shown and be helped. +Hey, did you read this article? South Korea always seems to have something going on. 26 were hospitalized and 29 were treated at the scene. It seems like more and more often this kind of thing is happening. There has to be a better way of getting points across without injuries. It's crazy and really unnecessary to cause harm for this. +Well I just read this ridiculously long article about someone who would take vacations with their family I think. The person just talked about some of their trips, and talked about how vacations and travel in general can expand you as a person. I agree with this claim, and wish traveling could be a little cheaper. +I just read a really, really long article about the outrageous use of torture by our government during the never-ending, so-called "War on Terror." Our tax dollars have been used to torture detainees (some of them who have been proven to be entirely innocent) which is a direct violation of international law and the US Constitution. Those who suffered this brutal treatment are now experiencing long term physical and psychological problems. The government has stonewalled and tried to keep the details classified. +Since you moved to Anchorage, I’m sure you’ve been aware of all the unsolved homicides that have occurred. Just wanted to say “stay safe”. Hopefully, that guy that shot at the police officer the other day and whose gun they say was used in some of those unsolved cases, was the killer. If so, his reign of terror is over. How sad that those people died for what appears to be just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I just don’t understand how someone can take the life of another unless their own life is being threatened. Who knows though? The killer could be mentally ill and think that perfect strangers ARE threatening them! Anyway, keep your eyes open and be careful! +Okay, I live by the Arkansas River so I know about snapping turtles. All this guy had to do is move to another spot and the turtle was not going to chase him down. I'm sure the guy must have been near a nest or something if the turtle tried to attack. Still, should he be charged with a felony? My Granny Jones used to make turtle soup out of the snappers they fished out of her creek. I guess the difference is he wasn't killing the turtle for food...But, a felony? +It's a little bit troubling that these teachers would be forced to leave because of political tension. It's not right that they would lose their jobs and their homes. There should be another way to resolve this issue. It's good that people are protesting this and they should be. Teachers play such a huge role and it will not be good for the students to be in the middle of this. +Passing this article along to you because I know you will think this is absurd. Gay men are not being allowed to donate blood to the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. Isn't that crazy! Apparently, outdated rules put them at high risk for HIV and they can not donate for fear of spreading HIV. This is super discriminatory as HIV is not just found in gay men. People instead should be appropriately tested for HIV. +I just read a very sad article on the elderly that are stuck in Aleppo, Syria due to the war there. Apparently, 200,000 people are unable to get out due to the government's siege of the area. There is a decreased access to food and resources for long term medical conditions are scarce. The elderly are having to sacrifice their well-being for the well-being of their children and grandchildren. The war needs to come to an end soon, before there is more suffering by the people of Syria. +I can not blame people for leaving. Living in an area that is prone to natural disasters, like an area that is below sea level and near a coast, is a bad idea. It is bad for the government of Louisiana, but you can't blame these people for getting out. And, of course, there is nothing that they can do to stop them. +Trump refuses to take a salary from the government for being president. Well he is rich so $400,000 is probably nothing to him. Its saving the government but that would probably be the only smart move hes made since hes been in the white house period. Im not a Trump supporter but I like the idea that he chose to save the government money. +Although coal kils I did learn that coal is important for baseload energy generation, coal plants are safe and easy to maintain and the fuel can easily be transported and the residue disposed of. Coal (with varying qualities) is an abundant resource, available to many countries within their borders. Uranium on the other hand requires a lot more work and safety precautions before reaching a point where it can be used as nuclear fuel.India is unfortunate as usual to be on the short end of the stick. +To show with how it can be done and understanding with how others are making sure that I'm not making sure, which of these things are becoming worse and how it's not being told with how the private message isn't being shown. I believe that it can't be how my friend is, because it's just not important and with it being bad, it's just not really good. +I really like Kate and she is an amazing actress. It sucks that she and her husband after so many years have decided to call it quits. America has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, which makes me feel that love is harder to attain today. Although I am a hopeless romantic and I feel that not every coupling has to be condemned to such a fate as Kate, Len and most Americans have to endure. +Just came across an article that involves shootings and people being killed. The story is about a white person in his 50's if I am not mistaking that was bothered by the loud music that was playing in a Durango by some black teenagers at a gas station in Florida. There was an argument regarding the music and some exchange of words. The white guy shot the 17 year old black kid 6 times. He was convicted for life with the possibility of parole after 2 years. He was denied. These situations are complicated and they are happening quite often lately. There should be a limit on many things, and one of them should be the guns. There should be a stricter gun control . +how are you drake I hope you are enjoying your new life and your stay in new york, I hope you enjoy this new stage of your life now that you are working as a journalist I hope to see you soon in a big television network or read your articles in the biggest national newspapers I hope it's good for you, my friend, see you later and take good care of yourself +Im shocked at the possibility, and now at the direct knowledge that the opiate crisis in america not only affects older people (adults), but also very young children as well. Opiate overdoses are sad and brutal but the same thing for a child stirs shock and sadness within me to think of the reasons it occurs and that could certainly be prevented. +There has been uprisings in Ethiopia. Looks like many people aren't happy with the industrialization and foreign investments taking place there. People had axes and sounded like a pretty serious event that may continue. Foreign investors are taking notice and may rethink their investments there or in the future. Really don't think of foreign investments in ethipoia but I guess there is. +This is a terrible story, but we can't go so far as to blame an entire religion for the actions of some. We hope what happened to Paris never happens again, but we simply need a bit more security and people with their eyes open - not attitudes against an entire religion or people. Consider these unfortunate ways of rallying countries behind one cause of peace. +Polar bears deserve the respect they deserve. They do not deserve to be treated the way they are now. There's no reason to kill these animals and it disgusts me that humans exist just to cause harm to them. I hope one day there's a collective effort to stop the growing genocide of these gentle and humble creatures. +What a legend, am I right friend. I have never really got into Lenoard Cohan much but I realize hard work when I see it. This man is a legend in his own rights. Books, poetry books while still an undergraduate. This man did it all. Did you know he was afraid to sing really and hated being in front of all the people at first but obviously he got over it eventually. That makes him so relatable towards me. I feel pretty sympathetic towards the family, they lost a great man. I am glad he made so much music cause his stuff will live on forever. Thats why I wanted to be a rockstar, to live on after I die. +i was reading about this article and got caught up in it because of the main topic when it had started, it began talking about all of these massive shootings that have been going on around the country. i felt like that was the main idea and discussing the murders in the united states i feel like they could have posted the differences between the states and other countries around the world as well. its free writing but i think it makes americans look bad. +i was reading about a dad who lost his daughter in the Charlie Hedbo attacks in Paris. it was touching. i mean, it was dark, him talking about losing her and those feeling, as well as those of other people who lived it. but his story touched me. he was talking about all the notes he recieved and how there was such an outpouring. he wrote a book, and he's healing. nice to see theres some form of recovery after something so awful +Getting old is sad. I hope they pull through. But, many people never reach 86. So, I can't feel too bad for them. They also probably lived a life many of us can only dream about. This might sound wrong, but I will probably forget about this in 5 minutes. Life goes on. I've already spent more time thinking about them than they will ever think about me. +you will not believe the crazy article i just read. Let me tell you about it. The article was about a man who had killed himself after killing his wife and the main thing that was being questioned was "why did he have to die?" What??? I don't understand why they aren't looking into why he killed his wife since they don't know. Its pretty easy to speculate why he killed himself. I just don't even know what to think about this article. +Hello Friend. How are you? How is your family? We had some time without contact, we should avoid that and always communicate. Of sure where you live this that I am going to say to you is already news but, friend, you must take care of you and your family please. I do not know if you found out but I read in a digital online newspaper samples of violence in Philadelphia, I could not get out of my head that you live in that place. Apparently a person who was armed shot in the stomach to an elderly man and another person who was accompanying him. One of the reports I've heard from the police is that the crime weapon has not been found, which makes me suppose that until now the police have no idea who was, and neither the clues to catch the bad guy. The police do not know anything so it means t +Please hug your loved ones because they may be gone at any moments of time. If you were in an argument with any of them please reconsider what has happened in the past and let it go. Life is short and we all have only one life to live on this planet. We should all cherish each other and enjoy life to the fullest. +This is terrible and really solidifies everything I feel about the racially tense issues going on in america right now that are just fueled by our current president. No one should ever have to be a victim of a senseless act only because of the type of person they are. We are all equal no matter our religion race anything. We need to really open our eyes up and realize there needs to be more love in the world. +It seems like the premises of this arguement is so shaky. Just because Russia and Poland may have had tensions for a while, it does not justify that they assassinated the guy. I mean, if everyone just assumex their enemy is the result of their misfortune, they will just be creating false tension with no real purpose. I understand that he is upset for their lost, and that this was avoidable from bad weather and pilot control, but still. +First of all, I guess I'm being too naive in my thinking that the KKK no longer existed. Also, I cannot see that this had anything to do with Trump, himself, but more some radical group trying to tie themselves to the Trump Campaign to make him look bad. I would not be surprised if this was "fake news" drummed up by the Democratic party in order to smear Trump. +I really feel bad for the Yemeni people. They were already unfortunate enough before this civil unrest. Now it has gotten worse and too many people are dying. I really pray that there is some order and that peace comes to this country. I feel for the family members of the the sick, wounded, and dead. +This is totally unsurpising for the UAE. The laws are usually lenient in these extreme cases though, which makes this occurence a strange one. There is some ulterior political motive at work here. This woman's misfortune is being used to advance some goal most likely. I wonder what they're up to. What do you think? +I just read an article that outlines what Obama did to help the "poor" compared to what Trump wants to do to take these things away. Obviously, the poor are going to have a much harder time under Trump's administration. I think it goes without saying that I hate this guy and I can't believe he is our president. I am counting the days til the next presidential election. If these idiots vote for him again, well, I won't believe it. Although, I didn't believe he would be voted in in the first place either. It is just sad that our country is taking ten steps way way back voting in this guy. +Mexico is disturbed by our current President Donald J Trump. Their currency Pesos dropped a lot when he was elected. Trump wants to build a wall between the two countries borders as well. The Mexican government seems very apprehensive about our new glorious President. Their economy might drop due to the building of the wall and lowering of all the immigrants trying to get into the U.S. by crossing into our borders. +These type of events of bomb explosions and terrorist threats are extremely dangerous and should be taken very seriously. People are just going around for their day and they don't really know what could happen to them and these type of incidents are very tragic and hurtful. The security measures in the United States should be more careful and should check anyone that is suspicious and make the country a safer place than how it already is. +I felt sad that the turtles are fading because of the habitat temperature rising annually. We, as humans can help I think by trying to not contribute to the increase of Carbon Dioxide consumption, we can stop global warming and try to help t he sea turtles from going extinct and so our children and grandchildren can see them in the future. +Hey, this article really shows how people can be compassionate in even the hardest places to do so. It's really an inspiring thing for them to do to go in and save these animals even in the midst of an ongoing conflict where they could have come to harm, as well as the animals. Also important is the situation in Gaza, and other conflict zones, makes it rather difficult to maintain a humanely run zoo, and have veterinarians on hand in case the animals become ill. +I cannot believe that the women in Trump's base don't understand that they are electing men who continue to ensure that they remain subservient and demeaned. I understand the whole "traditional family" structure, but this is ridiculous. Averting your eyes to abject misogyny because you want to win is appalling and disgusting. I just don't understand. +Ugh another big fight in Edinburgh. The city seems to have all kinds of problems like that. Plus they are kids! Where are the parents when the kids are out there fighting and attacking people in the street. Its just disgusting. I'm just happy that their victim wasn't badly hurt, but unless these kids face consequences they will just do it again and again. I think their parents should be held liable if their kids don't stop acting this way because it is obviously the fault of the parents for failing to take control of their kids. +Seriously, what's wrong with this guy! Who throws an animal to the ground for no reason. What a jerk. I hope the judge throws the book at him. He doesn't necessarily deserve jail time, but I'm thinking a hefty fine as well as many hours of community service. Sea World should file a restraining order from this guy as well. +The story about a woman theat was thinking of places she had been before and the terrorist attacks that had taken place. the thought of being in a place and having to worry about someone trying to shoot or inflict harm upon others is disheartening and makes me not waant to go out in public anymore for fear of my life. +Ugh - can you believe this story? First - why not just go to the doctor? Don't be shy, it's your dick we're talking about. Then, why insert a chopstick SO FAR THAT YOU COULDN"T GET IT OUT. Holy crap, that sounds awful. I am totally shocked to read this and can only imagine the pain - but then again, he did bring it upon himself. +Wow, it is pretty sad to see a happy family be devestated by a preventable cause. I send my prayers out to whomever was in immediate relations with the family. This makes me be more grateful for everyday life because i really don't know when my last day will be. I hope the fire department workers are emotionally well, because i know it can be distressful to see these thinga happen +This is really a moving story and I could see it being motivating for a lot of women. They can realize that anyone can be at risk for cancer. It doesn't matter whether you are a favour actress or an ordinary person. It can be devastating to families and often affects them in many different ways. Such stories should be more accessible to give people hope. +The Chicago district has shutdown about twenty five percent of there public drinking fountains. They have found levels of lead that are great in this area. It is believed that about one out of seven children have levels of lead in their system that the EPA deems too high. After the outbreak in Flint, I can see for their concerns. +It does seem silly that people in committed relationships are still affected by the donating ban, but I can also understand why such a ban was put in place. The trouble with anything is that when you try to protect some people, others rights seem to always be infringed and we're forced to decide which offense is greater and more important. I don't see why someone can't be tested, found to be clean and then give blood but I can understand why especially in an emergency when things can easily get overlooked the ban is a good idea. +What I learned about nature is that they cannot be predicted. Nature can look beautiful in one instance and can kill you in the next. Take a look at this shark incident. poor guy was play a game with some buddies and lost his life for no reason. Today you are here and tomorrow you are gone. Try to live as long as you possibly can before some shit comes along and tries to take it away. +It is so sad to hear about the poor victims of the train derailment. I feel that these types of accidents could be reduced if proper maintenance and planning are administered more carefully. When using mass transit the last thing anyone should be thinking about is "Are we going to die this time". When you travel you want to have fun and you hope for a great time. These types of tragedies should be scrutinized by the governments where it happens frequently. +I think the article is a bit hard to read. It is about the environment and El Nino and how they interact. The article was also about pollution and how the environment is changed by certain chemicals in the air. Because it's a science based article, it's a little hard to understand what the conclusion is. +Oh my god... I can't even imagine the fear those two poor boys must have felt. I can only hope they did not see it coming. How disturbed must one be to see this sort of thing as the only way out, the right thing to do? The pain and loss this family is feeling is probably only compounded due to the conflicting feelings of someone you love committing such an atrocious act on others you love, whose lives were just beginning. Poor babies... I do hope they didn't suffer. It shows that complaints of domestic issues should be taken seriously, by everyone. It states he was under investigation/being sought for domestic violations. How did he even get his hands on those boys? It's so sad. +You have what amounts to a horrible murder case in a rich area of Manhattan. Usually in a case like this police struggle to come up with a single suspect, but in this instance, you have two. There is no lack of evidence either. The police found a tremendous amount of evidence at the scene. Did they collaborate on the murder? If not, which one did it? The police will have a hard time with this one. +Hey! Did you hear about the elephant stuff in Africa? I know you care a lot about the environment so I thought you should see this. There are some countries that are for the poaching of elephants if you can believe it. Some more rural communities say that the animals harm their crops. I've never heard this side of the argument before! I'm not saying I agree with it, but we're over here in America and have a way different perspective on the issues. It's interesting to see how different things are over there. +Man, dont you just worry somtimes about how we got here? Its like I always knew this country which I love so much, was uncover still the most raciest place. The win of Trump just made it so much easier for all his ignorant like mined follows to treat people of color and some women, not at there equal, but as people who dont matter. Its sickens me to think about all they have done to people of color the most. Its like we are in 1960 again. +This is such a sad way for this actor to have to go. He contributed so much to his field, and he deserves a smooth, peaceful exit to life. I really hope that he and his friends and family will be okay. I know that it can be incredibly hard on the family to deal with these types of diseases and physical issues. Wishing them all the best. +Was this really Neo-Nazi fucktards? Or was this a left-wing attempt to incite minorities and drive them to the polls? Why are we not past this crap? Ridiculous. I love a lot of things about being Southern, but this crap drives me nuts. Who does this? Can we bring back the stockade? Tar and feather? +There are no words for how much I ignore Trump and his antics. It has made me numb and lose hope in the whole system. I no longer feel anything loyalty for America or its system. I think it is all a sham and no one should have to feel like that about their own country where they pay taxes to live and work and breathe. +You know I don't do politics and here is the reason..... "Moldovan Presidential Candidate Criticized For Being A Single Woman — And we thought U.S. politics was strange at the moment. Moldovan presidential candidate Maia Sandu isn’t married. And apparently that’s a huge problem for a lot of people, including her country’s leading religious and political figures." The press and political zealots have nothing better to talk about than if a presidential candidate is married. Seriously...if she were a he we would hardly be having the conversation. I would hazard a guess there are much more pressing issues to be debated. +That is nice. Isis is using Chemical Weapons against us now? What is the world coming to, and how much longer are we going to put our military out there for this? Especially now that they are being exposed to chemicals that can burn the skin, and due some bad damage. This doesn't doesn't seem right at all. +Some people are just disturbed. Everyone is going to point to mental illness in something like this, but I fear that when things like this happens, it gets easier and easier just to point at people and call them mentally ill. I fear that eventually we are going to get to the point where you can classify someone as mentally ill by the crowd. Just finger pointing. I feel for these victims and the victims of crimes in the future because we spend too much time making excuses and pointing fingers rather than dealing with the problems at hand. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress/val_labels.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress/val_labels.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..bc5e8569db203f2d21f556f92e9478c106ea2471 --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress/val_labels.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +5.75 +4.875 +6.0 +1.125 +5.125 +5.625 +6.125 +1.0 +2.125 +5.75 +7.0 +1.875 +2.5 +1.0 +3.625 +1.375 +1.625 +5.75 +3.5 +1.0 +1.5 +1.125 +3.5 +5.125 +6.0 +2.125 +3.5 +3.5 +2.125 +5.125 +2.0 +1.25 +1.25 +1.375 +4.625 +4.875 +1.875 +1.0 +2.125 +4.0 +2.25 +5.625 +1.75 +4.0 +4.25 +5.875 +6.375 +4.875 +3.5 +6.0 +1.0 +1.0 +6.875 +4.875 +2.875 +5.625 +5.5 +6.375 +3.375 +2.25 +4.25 +3.125 +1.0 +2.75 +3.375 +1.875 +2.75 +7.0 +7.0 +3.5 +1.0 +4.125 +2.0 +1.625 +3.625 +1.875 +4.25 +4.375 +3.875 +4.625 +5.0 +5.375 +4.375 +1.0 +4.375 +6.25 +4.625 +4.375 +5.625 +4.75 +3.25 +4.0 +6.5 +4.75 +1.0 +1.875 +3.5 +6.125 +1.875 +1.375 +1.5 +1.625 +4.125 +5.625 +7.0 +6.5 +6.125 +7.0 +3.25 +5.375 +1.25 +1.75 +6.25 +5.875 +5.125 +1.0 +6.0 +4.0 +3.75 +1.375 +3.75 +6.625 +6.0 +4.625 +2.0 +1.5 +6.25 +1.0 +4.125 +1.0 +2.375 +4.625 +6.875 +6.0 +4.0 +5.5 +6.0 +6.0 +3.875 +4.875 +7.0 +7.0 +5.625 +4.625 +1.0 +3.5 +6.75 +1.0 +1.0 +6.25 +6.0 +4.125 +3.125 +4.25 +1.375 +3.75 +5.875 +2.875 +3.125 +4.25 +2.75 +1.0 +5.5 +2.0 +2.125 +1.0 +1.5 +1.0 +5.75 +5.5 +5.25 +6.875 +1.0 +6.25 +5.875 +5.5 +4.125 +3.5 +1.0 +1.125 +1.0 +1.375 +4.5 +5.25 +6.75 +7.0 \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress/val_text.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress/val_text.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c7aac995b1dbe0dea79ba2e6621f006b1c69711b --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress/val_text.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +Here is another upsetting article I am sending you about a fire and a family. Funny how this bothers me more than the previous one. The parents and the children got out safe and they didn't die and they didn't get maimed or even scratced as far as I can tell but their two cats died and they lost their home. I am a cat owner and they are always "skitished" and afraid so my first thought is how terrified they must have been and then how awful the children must feel. The horror of imagining your pet burning (though they probably died from smoke). The children will not understand and it will take awhile to forget. +The artical also Trump campaign was unprecedented in its dishonesty; the fact that the lies didn’t exact a political price, that they even resonated with a large bloc of voters, doesn’t make them any less false. No, our inner cities aren’t war zones with record crime. No, we aren’t the highest-taxed nation in the world. No, climate change isn’t a hoax promoted by the Chinese. So if you’re tempted to concede that the alt-right’s vision of the world might have some truth to it, don’t. Lies are lies, no matter how much power backs them up. And once we’re talking about intellectual honesty, +I have come across an article about the civilian casualties in Afghanistan. The war is such a terrible thing. Small children are dying just because of some military operations, i.e. some grown-ups cannot negotiate and agree on resolution of the disagreements. My heart aches as I read that burnt children corpses are tended by mourning relatives. It must be unbearably painful to exist in such pitiful condition in such a poor country and on top of that to lose your children. Life is so unfair and cruel sometimes. +It is known that colonoscopy saves lives, but the preparation can be so unpleasant. I am so happy that researchers are working towards making it more tolerable so that more people will undergo the procedure that can save their lives. I am happy that many different options are available: not all involving colon cleansing (e.g. X-rays), that there is a dietary advice to minimize the discomfort (which food to eat before the procedure), etc. So, the person’s quality of life, their well-being in the short term is taken seriously into account. +I don't understand how people can look at stories like this and still claim that "guns don't kill people, people kill people". If guns were less available and less prevalent in communities prone to violence, then confrontations between people would be far less likely to be lethal. It needs to be more difficult to obtain a firearm in this country. +This was heartbreaking to read. I can't imagine what it's like to leave the house every day not knowing if you will come back, or of living in fear of letting your children leave the house to go to school because they might not make it home. Civilians should not have to fear for their lives when they're just trying to get through the day. It sickens me that the US has participated in strikes that lead to such consequences. +It feels like this is a bit of a lie and them just trying to fear monger and use GMO's. Grass and other things will survive..global warming simply means that we have too much pollution and it affects EVERYTHING. REDUCE POLLUTION and chemicals and we won't have such an issue. This article is simply scientists trying to make us sicker with more chemicals. +I am not sure what I just read. It seems to be about some sports event which I care little about. Sports are not my favorite thing and I don't know how anyone could lose sleep over a sports event. Much more important things in life. I also am not sure how to write such a long talk based on a very short paragraph about sports. +hey my best friend Joseph, how have you been? Do you believe this? There were thousands of females that left work in Iceland and went to Austurvollur square in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik to protest, there is discrimination against women cause they get paid way less then men do. Sucks we are still living a society where woman are not created or treated fairly. +I had to read another article with zero formatting for a survey. This one was about war in the Middle East. It was pretty depressing to read. Religion makes people do such horrible, hateful, stupid things. Apparently kids just pick up explosives, people get their heads blown off, little girls die for no reason. For what? Because someone's imaginary friend in the sky is slightly different from their imaginary friend in the sky? Ridiculous, disgusting. Imagine what these people could have accomplished if they dedicated themselves to knowledge instead. We could be on other planets, we could live for thousands of years or more. But nope, we'd rather hate and murder each other of something as stupid as "God" or "Allah." +We are living in a world that ha problems left and right and sometimes I can't help but to be sad because so many people and animals are suffering.Rivers are drying in some places and ll the fishes are dying while some areas have flash floods that destroy things and kill people.This are end times and am saddened all the time by such issues. +Another Muslim attacking Americans right here at home and you hardly hear or see anything about all these smaller attacks happening to regular people every day all over the country. And of course, they chime right in with excuses and the "don't judge us all" when they do nothing to stop it. They don't even condemn it at all, which really telling. +I think this is a bizarre article. I am not sure if there are air pollution problems in Sweden. This seems to be like an incomplete study. I would be okay if they took the angle that more densely populated areas are likely to trigger mental health issues because that has somewhat been proven in studies in mice. Using air pollution as a reason for mental health issues is weird. +This is such a non-story. Every day people are dealing with divorce and custody issues. This unfortunately has become a common problem. Generally speaking a story like this is sad to read or hear about but these are celebrities. Who cares about their problems? They are no more special than anyone else. People who get caught up in celebrity custody battles need to get a life. +You never know when a disaster could strike, and often it seems that they are the most unexpected and inopportune time. It's especially sad when you don't expect it. A whole family was lost in flames, including their family pet. Their house was turned to rubble and ash. You should always take the time in your day to appreciate everything that you have because you never know what could happen at any moment. Make sure to always be appreciative and caring. +Dear C., It's so weird how little I know about the food I eat. Just read an article about bananas, the kind you buy in a supermarket, which are apparently called Cavendish bananas and are expressly considered "commercial". Apparently, commercial bananas are under threat due to their lack of genetic diversity, making them prone to fungal diseases -- another variation, "Big Mike", went the way of the buffalo in the 60s for the same reason. I am not certain about the suggestion that wild bananas be used to produce new variations, tho. I have a hunch that this would drive the cost of bananas up, which is concerning. It might be possible in someplace like the U.S., where we have money for R & D, but I worry about how this would affect people in poorer countries. +It is sad that they cannot stop poaching. All wildlife deserves an equal chance to live freely on this earth. They should not be hunted down as trophies. I feel pleased that the security forces are trying to protect wildlife. I am also happy that rhino poaching is a crime that will help to protect the noncancerous. It hurts to know they hunt the animals just for their horns. That is sheer cruelty, not because they cannot talk but they do have feelings and should be allowed to live wild and free. +There should be a class action lawsuit against the company putting out dangerous products. They are liable for any injuries they have caused. People should be given restitution for the damages they have suffered. I am glad Kylie is speaking out against this and hopefully she can prevent further injuries to unsuspecting consumers. +Trump and Putin talk about Syria in pacific terms but then Russian warships bomb Aleppo, the bombing said to be for "show." A show that is destroying the city and its people. This is really outrageous. At least we are getting some reporting about it, even though it's just frustrating since we can't really do anything, and Trump is looking the other way. The Syrian problems seem likely to drag down the world for years to come. +My feelings and thoughts regarding the article I just read, is what I want to sit down and compose a brief message to you, in regards to it. I think that the Greenhouse Effect is highly over-rated. I find that the forces that oppose and are against it, has a strong point. As well, those in favor of it is also right, and just to want and seek and work towards ways that would be in the best interest of our lives and our environment. I believe it they would not show any interest, then whatever the harmful effects would only increase. Those in opposition, who feel that it's just an umbrella word to funnel monies in areas that are not needed. That believe Mother Nature and the natural state of how our Earth and it's environment works, are also somewhat correct. I wish each would meet halfway. +I am writing to you regarding the floods in Louisiana, and all the displaced residents. I try to put myself in their position, and wonder what would be my hearts desire as to a viable solution. If it would be more beneficial to relocate to another area, where I can then begin to rebuild my life, and replace that which was destroyed. However there is an underlying disadvantage to Louisiana, as a whole, if in the case so many would want to leave and relocate. The State is in a very difficult and decisive moment, given what they are faced with. Especially in the areas of unemployment, on average when someone is having problems finding gainful employment, they will move to another location for work reasons alone, and nothing to do with a natural disaster as Louisiana is faced with. +I am writing to you in response to an article I just read about Nevada and the water supply. It is of a truth, as the article points out that the news media primarily only follows what happens in California, and not Nevada. Which is the driest State, and in need of attention and assistance. I'm impressed with Verna Brady, 86-year-old resident there. Who cites she would rather move forward, than behind, that she, although an elder with many childhood memories, would rather adapt to what's required for today, than harbor on what use to be. That's a large statement, because when it comes to tribes in America, a lot do not to be displaced, or relocation, creating emotional and psychological problems are the results. However the present state is also causing more abuse factors in the family. +I'm not sure how to feel about this. We really do need to go green, but at what point do we call it green when it kills so many animals? I'm a little aghast, even though I know science needs evidence in numbers, that they are wasting money on figuring out that species that typically migrate are *gasp* being killed in places other than where they are from. Put that money towards developing something that stops the problem. We need green energy like wind and solar, so let's find a solution to make it so that we don't keep losing what we're trying to save. +I recently discovered a few articles that I believed to be quite interesting. The first article talks about how people argue that smoking should be banned in public places so that children would not imitate them. I personally don't have an opinion on this matter; I don't have children and I'm not a smoke either. The second article disturbed me a great deal. It talks about the work of a food inspector and it surprised me how dirty some stores can be. It really makes me wonder if I should continue going to that place near my house that does not have a perfect score. +I just read this article about how ISIS are doing dehumanizing acts upon former law officials. It disgusts me how they do what they do and are not being stopped. I believe that every nation in the world should rise up and stand against ISIS. They should no longer be able to continue to do what they do on a daily basis. +Darrell Issa is considered the " mini Trump" to many voters. To my Republican friends who support this candidate I just have a few opinions of my own. First I would say Issa never receded his support for Trump after the Infamous Hollywood Access recording. For somebody who preach's morals its kind of hypocritical. Mr. Issa has been motivated by fear of political repercussions more than his constituents’ best interests. He is now trying to distance himself from Trump because polling suggests that supporting him is not in his best interest for reelection. This guy has no morals and should not be supported for his constant flip flopping. +The Russians are always being provocative and trying to show force especially against the United States. There dangerous ways almost cost one of there pilots his life. This is yet another attempt from Russia to yet further distance themselves from NATO and to show they fully support the murderous Assad regime. +As much as I love dogs I must say this was totally the owners fault. The rule was the dog needed to be on a leash. The woman did not follow the rules and the dog ran over to a stranger. The dog scared the stranger as is expected. I have had many big scary dogs running towards me and wasn't sure if it was going to attack me or be nice. The man got scared and shot the dog. Its sad but the man did not know if the dog was going to attack him. +I just read about a car crash in Prince Georges County, near Clinton. It involved three vehicles and it happened at the tail end of rush hour. It said that one woman was critically injured, but I wonder if the passengers in the other two vehicles were injured. Maryland drivers suck. I avoid anywhere near DC since the roads are not conducive to safe driving. +Man this news story is really crazy and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Just warning you that the content is kind of disturbing but it's so scary that things like this could happen to just anyone walking down the street! Feel free to share with anyone else in Australia; I hope that poor woman is okay. +I found this article and wanted to share it with you. Very disturbing and odd results from the 2016 presidential campaign demographics results. Very surprised to see so many Lantinos voting for a dude who is so blantly racist.I think all the Black people who voted for Trump are going to see that they were uninvited to the family barbecue next year as well XD +This guy that I just read about seriously cannot be trusted. He was going around acting like an apartment belonged to him when it did not in actuality. I wonder will he be punished sufficiently. I doubt it. He will probable just strike a deal and that will be the end of it. He needs to be publicly shamed. +It is unfortunate that Venezuela seems to go through so much as a country due to politics. I do not know why the United States of America will not be more proactive in helping this less fortunate country. A lot of people complain about Chavez, but that seems to be when the country was the most stable. +The gun issue in the United States of America is becoming a joke for the entire world to see play out. Apparently, as anyone can see, guns are causing more harm than good in all communities. Perhaps since this fatal shooting involved a cop with possible mental issues it will put the spotlight on both issues. I will not hold my breath though. +The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. +The police asked for help to the people for identify the lady. I think, she was escaped from the police custody and placed in the Philadelphia high way. The police explores the identification marks of the lady. The police asked for help to the people for identify the lady. I think, she was escaped from the police custody and placed in the Philadelphia high way. The police explores the identification marks of the lady. +This is messed up. Burma’s government is a joke. They are so corrupt. They basically slaughtered their own citizens. I feel for those displaced families. It’s defintiely a scary situation for all those involved. Someone should step in and put a stop to this. The United States or UN can do something. We should send aid. +I agree that this election is stressful. There seems to be a lot of tension between parties. People are worried about what could happen if Trump wins. I think all of the racists will come out of the woodwork. People won’t be comfortable. As a minority, I think things will feel different. People aren’t scared to post when behind a wall on social media. +I’m so tired of Republicans. They never compromise. They want it their way. They never meet in the middle or half way. The government is a joke and can’t get a thing done because of the divide in parties. Democrats are willing to meet in the middle but it doesn’t matter because conservatives will only have one way. +Global warming is really serious. Sometimes I think, is this a good time for having kids? I don't want my kids have a chaotic world, full of adversity and contamination. Also, I think my nation is in "control" for now, but future seem different. People now don't care about being correct and helpful to everyone, a lot of people is dishonest and disloyal. We need a society that we can trust. Our world is extremely corrupt, I think this can be change if we gave enough education to all generations since they are kids. +Why am I so ignorant when it comes to politics. I just reread an article 3 times over to try and figure out what it was talking about with Trump and jobs and discrimination and racism by the end of it all three times I felt like I had read gibberish. Is that how politics are for you or do you actually understand it. All I understand is that I don't agree with Trump I don't agree with his Antics I don't agree with his policies. I'm not sure if he's selfish or just a moron right now. How do you feel? +Hey I know you are busy but I wanted to share something that is laying heavy on my heart. The nigerian paper is reporting of mass rape done by the government. Women and children were raped by policemen, soldiers,camp leaders and vigilante groups. This makes my blood boil. How does this make you feel? What can we do? +I really didn't know Leonard Cohen that much growing up, only listen to a couple of his songs, wasn't a big fan but It's tragic that he died, to be fair its a good way to die at an old age and died while asleep, painless and nothing that hurts him. He also said that He was ready to die, so lets take that in for an account, that he was prepared to go. So he died peaceful. +Corals around the world are dying and especially corals in the Great Barrier Reef. Factors that contributed are the increase of temperature due to Global warming and Humans destroying them.The articled stated that half of the Great Barrier Reef corals are now dead from 2016-2017. That's only a year. Imagine swimming with no corals, no corals means no fish ecosystem to look at. +It's always sad to hear about someone(s) dying especially there are children involved, luckily only adults were killed according to the article and the children survived but it's emotional, physical, and mentally hard for the children to adapt to it. Maybe the adults were there parents and watching somebody kill your own family members is heart-wrenching. My love and prayers go out for the kids +It is really sad the way that people only see one side of the story of the Afghan war. We only see things from our side of the pond, and we see the good , but not all of the bad that we do, as a country. We tend to think of things, in generalities, and lump groups of people who live in a common area, into one pile of terrorists. There are plenty of people in Afghanistan who are against eh taliban, and we dont see the damage that we are doing by hitting them with drone strikes. Most casualties in wars are civilians , who had nothing to do with the conflict itself. There are always conflicting stories about the death tolls. I believe it is used to de-escalate our fears that , we, as a country, are doing something that could actually turn out to be very harmful instead of helpful +I just read this article about how Canada actually had school where they would force indigenous people of their land to go. They tried to erase their history , and their language. I always thought canada was such a peaceful country. These people were even experimented on, and the school was still in operation up until 1996!, That is astonishing. I thought, we , americans, were the only ones who forced the indigenous people away, or tried to kill their culture. This just shows you that people are pretty much the same, and pretty much were savages, until recently. Even now though, we still have a long way to go, until we reach a place where everyones culture and differences are celebrated, and not shamed, and destroyed +I never read up much on Thailand, but it seems as if the place might change a lot in the near future. The king died, and the queen is dying. There is some shady general who is taking over now. The people of Thailand, loved their king, and he gave them a sense of stability, in a crazy political climate. They mourned the former king for a month, and now the queens death, may follow very soon. I am glad, though I never think about it, how lucky I am to be in a country with some "sense" of stability, and not ruled in constant flux. +I blame reality TV, for all of the crazy people doing anything to get attention these days. Apparently a man was bit by a snake, after trying to take a selfie. People today are so interested in themselves, and selfies, and social media, that they often miss the real world around them. This man was literally bit by a snake, and still posted the selfie, and was more worried about how many "likes" he would get rather than his snake bite. It sets a bad example for kids, all of these "challenges" their doing. and, walking down the street , paying more attention to their phones, than the road. +Did you see where Republicans are trying to stop black people from voting. It's like its 1800's again in the U.S. and the rich are using the Southern Strategy to stop likely democrats from voting, using the divide and conquer strategy of trying to turn the people against each other instead of who they should be against. rich republicans. This is fascism, naziism, and we are going to lose our democracy if people don't wake up and get in the streets and demand these people be stopped. It's literally a coup of our government. +When you are a police officer there is a high chance you'll get shot, this kind of thing happens because people have an easy access to guns, if there was a more strict gun control, less officers would die during their service, but well, the government prefer guns over people's lives. poor officers, but they had a risky job. +I feel bad for the victims of this murderer, they did nothing wrong to be attacked during their everyday life, they were innocent. I'm extremely angry with the neo nazi murderer, he was an egoist and I'm mad with the gun control laws that allow people with "metal health problems" to easily purchase guns. +This is another example of the racism in this country, the officers again use extreme deadly force against a black person, just because he was black, he was not a threat and yet they shot him without hesitation. We feel more insecure with officers around than safe, and still they can kill people and get away with it. +As I was reading our local newspaper last night, my eyes came to rest on several reports of yet another handful of the farm attacks and -murders South Africa has become known for over the past years. Farm attacks and -murders which see journalists having to write these reports with words I cannot even begin to imagine the sickening feeling of. Words like “boiling water poured down 87-year-old farmer’s throat for hours on end,” and “his wife and two teenage daughters were tied with barbed wire in the bathroom, after which they were repeatedly raped, burned with a hot iron, and stabbed with a sharp object.” +My tears and rage will do nothing to ever change the mind and heart of a person who is, I believe, morally beyond the point of return. But I cannot stop these tears from pouring down my cheeks as I wonder what the f**k is wrong with our society. P.S. Since the report on this cruel incident is only available in my first language, Afrikaans, and on the website Netwerk24 where one has to be a paying subscriber to access their news articles, I am including a short video uploaded by the young farmer herself. +The first time I tried to commit suicide was the most painful. Two months after starting my first year of highschool, boys started treating me like a prostitute. My “friend” at the time told everyone that I enjoyed the rape. That I wanted it. I was called a whore and a slut by my peers. Older boys attempted to have their way with me. I started acting like one. I sent nudes to anyone that would ask. I believed I was only needed for sex, that I wasn’t worth anything other than my sexual appeal. I was 13. I was self harming any chance I could. My wrists, legs and chest were full of cuts. Eventually self harming didn’t help anymore. I didn’t want to live anymore. The thing that pushed me over the edge was when my “friend” invited me to a group chat with her minions. They talked about me like +I always hear about Syria but I never knew how bad it was for older people. Some of them did not want to leave and now they can't get out at all. There are barely any medical services at all. Hardly anything to help with all the old age medical conditions that show up later in life. These people don't have enough food. They are scared they will die alone. I don't think many people have thought about this. I am so heartbroken for those people. I wish I could help them. Syria is such a mess. I pray somehow this can all come to a end soon. Too many deaths have occurred. These older people never thought they would have to live like this. Everything was normal until the war for them. I think more people need to know about the older people living in Syria. They are just left there to suffer. +I can not believe Canada took so many native people and put them in their "proper" schools. They took away their language and their heritage. And on top of all that 6000 died! Plus many were abused! This is horrible! I am so upset by this! I mean seriously? How could they do that! And the worst part is that was still going on all the way up to 1996!!! That is insane! And they only apologized in 2008. Way too late. I mean the harm they did to these children is massive. They need to make up for what they have done! +So there were the guys who were basically mad the government made local land into a wildlife refuge. They went as far as getting a militia together. They had guns and were watching. They had a whole group of them involved. The problem is they shot and killed someone. Can you say it went to far? I do. I think the whole thing was a bit much. I mean they just took over the federal land. You can't just do that no matter what you stand for. +I had no clue Oklahoma was getting so many earthquakes lately. Apparently due to the oil companies injecting waste it is triggering a lot more earthquakes. They aren't massive ones, but still 5.0 is decent. It caused some damage to buildings and stuff. People even at the oil company felt it really well. It shook everyone up a good bit. But its crazy that its becoming the norm there! So crazy. +There are so many instances of shootings and mass murdering happening around the world today and the example brought up in the article like the Orlando shooting just shows how there is a culture these days where people just don't care anymore. More and more people find it okay to take the lives of innocent people for their own screwed up agenda, whatever that is so that they can show that they have control over the situation. I think a huge problem here is gun laws and there should definitely be some sort of change that occurs. +I feel like the shipwreck amongst other violence that occurred in this article is pretty sad. Like other articles that I have read, it seems like there is just so much death occurring and there is not too much coverage over it. The amount that we do see don't seem to even scratch the surface as there are many other acts of violence and events that occur that take the lives of many other people from places like third world countries that don't even get broadcasted at all. Sad to see that our world is slowly spiraling into this chaos that just continues to grow. +so i just read this article, a very interesting one. you all need to read it to understand what it is really about. there is a way the author puts things in a very simple way for everyone to understand. i would encourage you all to find it and read it. it will be worth your time. +Hello, I read the article ,and I feel like they both have reasons for feeling the way they do, If Russel was offended and felt like she was a threat he could have called for management or someone from the crew to remove her, he should not have attempted a hostile removal. She had to have been upset by Russell's rude comment, and I think that was a hurtful comment regarding her career.I do feel bad for her regarding how she was treated. +I thinj it is our responsibility as a first world country to be providing assisstance to these area in brazil and Columbia. Zika Virus could prove to be an epidemic and that is a global issue, not just a country. Giving them access to proper medical training to spread better health practices and health education to the population could be the most effective thing to preventing more spread of the virus +Being interested in sports and health together, this is a solid article showing the impact eye injuries have on different types of sports. It's somewhat common to see these injuries present themselves in basketball, baseball, and sports without protective gear. That's just the nature of sports where consequences happen. +I am a little bit on the fences about how to approach immigration and the Mexican border problem. This article talks about different issues President Trump has had his hands in on and how some problems are arising. I think the countries need to stand alone and work on their own issues so they have home build strength. Seems like a lot of compromising is not taking place. +This is one of those articles that can really make you feel paranoid. Like, what if suddenly there is a red squirrel in my backyard and it has this sickness? And now I might have it. You know? Stuff like that. In the other hand, it just shows how little we know of these world. Of the illness, the animals, how it affects us. So much to discover +Heck no, this is one of those topics that I could talk about for hours and hours. It is so stressful the fact that animals are traded like that, just unbearable. People who do that, should be the ones in the cages. They are not even humans, they are monsters. And of course they have to find a way to teach the countries what to do when they face this type of situations. And they better do it quick. +It brings me great sorrow to tell you about a horrific incident that left two children without parents after a mechanical failure at an amusement park. It is truly shocking and disturbing that this could have happened. Thee two kids lsot both parents and they watched them drown which is disturbing to think about. +Robert Vaughn passed away but I don't really have anything to say about him. people die every day and he was in his 80s. He was in some famous movies and seemed dto have lived a full and happy life. He wasn't in anything i have ever seen and i never heard fo him before. maybe ill check out his movies someday since he was fmous. +Even though Donald trump condemns these actions by his supporters it doesn't stop the fact that he incites this sort of behavior with his comments and his proposed laws. Trumps supporters, well a decent majority love his call of racism and bigotry. It is bno surpise that his supporters are the epitomy of racisma nd there behavior is not surpring. +Hate seems to be increasing in this country. I just read an article that hate crimes are going up. I don't know what's going on but people can't seem to handle themselves and use restraint. People are becoming too short-fused and trigger happy on attacking others with hate crimes. I hope things get better but the article didn't seem too optimistic. I guess the more we talk about this kind of stuff the better so it doesn't get ignored. It's an important issue. +In Moldovan, the lady running for president is being discriminated against in a very public way. They are saying just because she's not married, she is unqualified to lead the country. They care more about her personal business than her politics. It's a shame they are acting so backwards toward her. It makes me want to cheer for her just to spite them. I hope the rest of the world catches up to the idea everyone should be treated equally. +I think this article is really inspirational. I didn't realize how much food we waste and how inefficient we are in this respect. I would like to change the way the world behave but this would be a big undertaking and I think it may be too big. There are small and big things that we can do with our daily meals and meal planning that can help with this problem of food waste but I think it will take more time and money to implement it. And im not sure what percentage it will get us towards 0% waste. If it gets us less than 1% more efficiency in how we use food, than it may not be worth the effort, and we may need to look at other ideas. Combating food waste could also lead to an increase it food poisoning since questionable foods in our refrigerator are thrown away as a precaution. +Hi! What do you think of this? I know you hate the pipeline as much as I do. Wonder if this would have a chance of working? We all know money is more important than human life, unfortunately. I'm skeptical, but then again, nothing has worked so far, so why would this? I don't know what to think. I don't have any actions I could take at this point, anyway. +I think in this day and age, there is no reason to be poaching tigers, or any other rare game for that matter. I've discussed this with my friends before, the poachers are generally low status people, trying to feed themselves, and they're selling to the highest bidder they can find. Even if you jail the poachers, more will pop up out of desperation. One day, we'll look back and see all of the greed killing rare animals purposefully, rather than the crappy way we move them out of their territories naturally as humans. +I have very little sympathy for Turkey, it's a country that has been playing every sides of the field it can for a long time. It is so split, because of this. I feel for the people, and that's why there are so many split groups, not counting outside terrorist groups trying to gain influence in the area. I feel nothing for the country, only the people. +To all those with family members deployed in Iraq: God bless your military members who are currently trying to free Mosul from ISIS control. May they rescue and help those poor civilians that ISIS has taken as human shields. May both the US and Iraqi troops and those being held captive be kept safe. +We’ve been huge supporters of Ashton Kutcher’s campaign against human trafficking so I wanted to let you know of a situation I just became aware of. We usually think of human trafficking involving the kidnapping or sudden disappearance of a person. I just read about two pre-teen girls in Burma who were sent to work to help their family. Everything was legit at first, but as time progressed these poor girls, children really, were denied contact with their parents, tortured, and forced to work for no pay. My heart broke for them and for their parents. What’s even worse, the police ignored the parents’ request for intervention with no success. How agonized the parents must feel that they sent their daughters into this situation. +Wow.. You have to check this out. There was a horrible accident on a family type Water Ride in Gold Coast Austrailia. 4 People were killed..2 women ages 42 and 32 I think, also two men, 38, and 35,. This is what happened...2 people were ejected from the raft and the other 2 were trapped inside..they all died. The park was shut down. The thing that makes it wierd is that the water feature is like a tame family type ride..Definately things families would go on together. Makes you think Right? +I didn't realize there are still a lot of Hatians who are suffering badly since the quakes years ago. It seems a large amount of them have made their way to Brazil and central America to try to get work and get a better life. This has turned out badly for a lot of them. They have been victimized and injured and killed by gangs and terrible conditions on their way to try to get to America. When they do make it they are often given a court date to appear at some future date. Because of immigration policies many of them are suffering. +President Trump is so stupid for pulling out of the Paris deal. Being that our Country is held highly among-st the rest of the world, you would think that we would be considered with the environment just as much as everyone else. How can he believe Climate Change isn't real How is he allowed to just pull us from this deal we agreed to? It seems pretty stupid to me that he can just make these changes on his own free will. What happens later down the road when the impact of these decisions are felt and the earth really does have an Angry Summer? +Since I have no children and don't plan on having any, I don't really have an opinion regarding the ease that women choose to have cesarean instead of natural births. I don't think my opinion would be well received and I myself know I have no experience in this. I do believe, however, that a woman should look at all available options and decide what is best for her and her family. +I can't stand these Jenners and Kardashians. But I have to give them credit for making a living from doing nothing. I guess that is the new American Dream! THey are producing a product that people want to consume. Isn't that sick? The crazy thing is that this family is going to become the normal and accepted family environment. +This article is very tiring. I am tired of hearing about the corruption of politicians. There does not seem to be a single good moral politician. It would be impossible to win and position of public office without corruption. This is just another example of more corruption. Why do the biggest low lifes decide to be poloticians? Maybe because they are the type of people that like to lie and cheat there way to money and power. +Michael Moore to Democrats: I told you Trump was going to win — On Wednesday, filmmaker and activist Michael Moore penned a "Morning After To-Do List" for Democrats that has, as of Thursday morning, been shared more than 180,000 times, liked more than 350,000 times, and commented on more than 18,000 times. Moore also says Democrats must fire the pundits, pollsters, and members of the media who refused to let go of a narrative about the election that proved to be incorrect, force aside any Democratic members of Congress who aren't ready to fight, and remind everyone they meet that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. His No. 4 item, however, might come as a surprise to Democrats who are posting their own status updates on social media about how "shocked" or "stunned" they are at this outco +here regular army checkpoints serve as a reminder of the serious threat Boko Haram still poses. But despite efforts from aid organizations like ours, there are still 2.2 million people living in unreachable areas in northeast Nigeria, with no contact to the outside world ― and no guarantee of safe passage for aid workers. We don’t yet know the full extent of the crisis ― the Nigerian military and humanitarian organizations like Mercy Corps are still trying to push into these parts of the country ― but based on what we’ve seen so far, we fear the worst. “The carnage becomes more glaring as we gain access to newer areas, and it has become a struggle for those of us in the forefront to comprehend how to help the thousands we come across who need our support,” said Michael Mu’azu, our humanita +I was just reading this article and thinking about how lucky we are to not have to experience such things. Even when major weather events or natural disasters are close by, we have the ability evacuate and miss the real damage. I've never had to deal with anything like this and I think it would be so difficult--I wonder how the community will come together to support each other. It is so sad that so much destruction can happen so quickly and totally upend the lives of so many. +This is such a terrible thing to happen to so many people. I wonder how a town can meaningfully bounce back and rebuild their lives. I don't know what I would do if this happened to me. Move? Work on recreating the city? Turn to the government for hope? It just seems so overwhelming and impossible. I feel so grateful to have avoided such an experience. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help. +i think this article represtens us in the fact that all ee see in our fracebook timeline would be posts about the elctions or posts about politcis every where instagram and every single social media that we use is filled with these posts and they are just not necessary for us to look at everyday they flood our timelines and they just influence people to become the worst and very hostile in the comments why do we encourage this talall we do not need to be seeing this every single day +We are only given one life. I think that everyone wants to live a long and fruitful life. I know that sometimes we all have to do things that we do not want to do. There are certain procedures or policies that we need to follow to be able to maintain a certain life, and lifestyle. I know I don't really enjoy going to the doctor. +Mosul is Iraq's second most populous city.a major military campaign launched by the Iraqi Government forces with allied militias, The intensity of the fighting and the airstrikes in eastern parts of the city is high many people are killed their bodies hang in the middle cities not giving to the resident. The coalition strategy was reported to be to encircle Mosul completely, after which Iraqi troops would advance into the city-center. Pro-government fighters in the south of Mosul were battling pockets of ISIL fighters and snipers as they tried to reclaim the village of Abbasi. +E rate government funding program across country to connect the school from internet and It hits the hot buttons of education, technology, and good jobs at good wages in one shot and spreads federal monies to vendors and consultants in every corner of the country.Students achievement in 2013 bring up the fundding 2.3 billions budget to 4 billions. +there was this article about a subject I no nothing about and really could care less but here I am messaging you about it..................hope you find this very very very very very very very very entertaining............. I know I have, so what else have you been up to.............i hope you find this pleasant to read...... +This article was really inspiring. The woman in it goes through so much but she still tries to persevere. I think it is admirable to not give up in the face of such obstacles. But I imagine it was really difficult for her to do! Imagine being in pain like that... it's horrifying. What do you think of this article? Isn't it inspiring? +Check out this article about the zika virus. I did not know that there was so much going on with it, or that it spread so much. I also did not know that it can spread through the ways they described in the article, like sex. Definitely information we need to know Make sure to read up on this and be careful! +Trump and his administration are horrible people. I can't believe (okay maybe I can) that they would behave like that. There is nothing wrong with LGBT individuals. We need more representation in this country and politicians need to stop pushing their backwards beliefs onto others. LGBT deserve to live just as much as everyone else, and they deserve their freedom too. +It's really sad that it seems that so many people are ignorant when they purchase pets. People should be more dedicated to animals and the environment and if they don't feel prepared to take care of a pet then they should just, not get one. This is why goldfish are invading Australia. Invasive species are extremely problematic to the ecosystem and combating them is difficult and expensive. +Crazy things are happening in Afghanistan still...don't want to go there anytime soon. Too unstable and too many people getting kidnapped...and that would certainly suck. Not that I would really ever want to go to Afghanistan in general anyway. Why would you want to go somewhere so dangerous? I don't understand. +It's ridiculous that this day in age and for such an advanced country, we can't even get water right. It should be a priority that a basic necessity for life be safe. If we can't do water right, how can we do anything else right? It's a freaking joke. Our whole governmental system is a mess. And yet, no one does anything. +Wow, killing someone in public? That takes some serious nerve. I don't particularly know whether she is guilty or not, but for it to be played out in the media isn't fair. While they may not have the same protections that the accused have in the United States, they should still give her a new trial, something quiet, out of the public eye, maybe even outside of the country, where she can get a fair trial based on the facts. If there is video of her spiking the coffee, or any indication that she has had any contact with cyanide, then I say she should get a retrial. +This is an extremely sad story The civilians who lost their did nothing wrong. They did not ask for this war to come to their region. They were mere victims of the misfortune of being born where they were and being where they were when they were. They were no more guilty than you or I. It is extremely sad and disappoints me as an American. +I think this family had more then enough warning and notice not to go into that hot spring area. the young man fell and scalded himself to death while his sister/friend sat there and videotaped the whole thing. i dont understand some peoples logic. what made them think this was ok? what made them think they would be ok and what made them thing that parks put boundaries up jsut because they think its funny. +While I do sympathize with the plight of back people and latest police violence, I think that they are not helping the situation by engaging in violent protests that take even more lives and create a great deal of disturbance in USA! These protests ignite racial tensions but will not bring back the lives of innocent victims. What needs to be done here is clamping tight on the police force-punishing them appropriately and in the harshest of form if they take an innocent life or harass black people for no reason! They need to undergo training and psychological evaluation before being allowed to go out there and deal with criminals! They need to be psychologically stable and clear of racial bias, otherwise they are not suitable for this job! +A well known journalist in the UK, editor for Elle magazine and was suffering from depression for long time and she was found dead and pulled ashore. She killed herself after a long suffering of depression. She repeatedly looked for for professional help and because "missed opportunities" she decided to kill herself. It is hard to imagine someone would be refused this kind of help after so many referrals. The professional mental health services have admitted the error and said lessons had been learned and changes have been made since the tragic loss of the journalist. It's sad that there is such a price needed to pay for changes to be made. +These migrant camps are getting more and more reminiscent of internment camps by the day. For a country that prides itself on being so civilized, I can't imagine how French citizens can accept the treatment of the camp's children and others who remain behind in appalling conditions. Have a little compassion for your fellow human beings, please. +Hello there. I just read this story about a cop who killed a totally unarmed black man and I think it is disgusting. The police has been very biased against blacks lately and this is just another example of how bad things have gotten. I think this cop needs to be sentenced severely so that all other cops can also refrain from doing the same +Is Val Kilmer healthy or not? Seems as though comments keep being made about his health and now Michael Douglas has even said something about him. Although, just because the two worked together on The Ghost and the Darkness (one of the best movies ever!) doesn't give him the right to make public comments about Kilmer's health whether it's true or not. Maybe he doesn't want the whole world to know if he's going through something. +If we think we have it bad having to put up with Trump, think about how Mexico feels. This article puts a lot in perspective, but I really struggle with the quote by the Mexican foreign minister saying that Americans chose racism and hate. Don't group us all in one category. We didn't ALL choose this clown to be president. I understand their fears and stress, but that comment really just rubbed me the wrong way. Hopefully both countries can maintain their ties until he's out of office. +I just read about this Australian hiker that was lost in the Malaysian jungle for two weeks and most of that time without food. He was week but he survived. I'm shocked. I'm happy he made it because to often you hear those stories of a lost hiker and it ends tragically. His friends and family say he has a strong mental attitude, he must. I don't think I'd ever survive that long especially since I don't even know anything about safe plants to eat like this guy must have. Way to go sir. Way to fight. +An agency that I can't recall the full title of just released proof of the fact that the earth is getting warmer. Yeah, it was only a couple of degrees but that's how it starts, right? Something is causing the world, the United States in particular, to warm up. I know where I live that it's seems a lot warm than it was even 7 or 8 years ago. The seasons used to be predictable, but they don't seem to be that way anymore. +it is not new story that civilian were killed in American based operation in Afghanistan and these things happened in wars all the time . there is no way to fight a war without unnecessary human casualty but with proper planning and intelligent this factor can be reduce to a great extend i think but it harder than it look +the war on terror that began with the initial war of America on Afghanistan for the purpose of eliminating Talibaan and restoring order and democracy there but this war has continue for quite some time and has turned the country in ruined . i think its about time we leave that country for good and let them live there life +Friends and Family - we need to lobby for president Trump to take global warming more seriously. As predicted, the temperature may rise in the near future by one point five degrees Celsius. This will drastically change our weather and therefore cause disastrous effects to many, many places around the world. This can all be stopped though if we get on board now! +Hey, I'm sending you something you might find of interest. I heard about this really interesting study regarding the relationship between mothers and middle school aged children. I have to say the findings rang true to me and brought back a lot of memories. Middle school was a miserable time for me as I struggled with some classes and often felt either depressed or angry for no particular reason. I remember feeling constantly stressed over both academics and the challenges of middle school social life with maintaining friendships, cliques, dating etc. +Man is there some issue with the quality of air in India. I'm not sure if I would be willing to take a trip there. There seems to be a heavy smog lingering over the town that has caused a number of respiratory illnesses as well as shut down some schools. I have just read that air quality readings have been taken from some scientists. They found the quality of the air to be like smoking 40 packs of cigarettes a day. Yet, the local media is reporting something more like two dozen. I'm not sure who to believe but either way it seems like quite a dangerous situation to me. +have a friend I wrote a letter for, and gave it to her on her birthday. In the beginning I wrote about how our friendship began, and wrote about all of my favorite memories with her from as far back as I could remember. Our first interaction to when we first started texting and getting to know each other, all the way up to when I wrote the letter. She is really good at always telling me how she feels about me and how grateful she is to have me as a friend. I usually suck at reciprocating, so I took this as an opportunity to tell her what she meant to me. I made the end of the letter forward looking and wrote of how grateful I considered myself to be because she was in my life, and how I hoped that wouldn’t change for a long, long time. +Nicolas Maduro is the current leader of Venezuela and it has led to major issues and divide in the country. The country is pretty much tyrannical at this point and the government is over-reaching into everyone's lives. Reading about the protests and issues going on makes me feel grateful to be out of that country. I really hope the people can oust him and replace it with a better government. +This is sad that a company that is based here in the US and that actually manafucters its products in the US is in debt. More effort should have been placed to ensure company's success. More companies should be encouraged to manufacture their products in our country while also making them affordable and appealing. +This really doesn't seem that much different to me than capital punishment which is accepted in our country. Yes, it's cruel and seems to be brutal but at the same time it could be a good way of discouraging people to commit such crimes. On the other hand a victim's situation will not be improved or reversed because their perpetrator has been harmed in the same way. +I don't know what more it's gonna take for meat eaters to finally get it through their heads that we consume way too much meat. If someone says "plant based" anywhere near them they seem to automatically reject it. Agriculture is the main contributor to the destruction of the earth. It's not like people are preaching everyone go vegan, but drastically reducing your intake of meat would help the planet by a huge margin. For whatever reason, they just can't seem to rationalize that simple sentiment. +Oh my gosh! Can you even imagine this? Thinking of citizens being torn from their homes, tortured, frightened! How could they just blatantly violate people in this way? I suppose it is hopeful that we might learn from this, correct mistakes, but that doesn't mitigate the harm that was done! It also doesn't bode well that protecting the victims now, after the fact, also seems to be in question. The assumption that they were informed of the release of the data, I think, is reckless. Verification that the already suffering victims won't be further victimized is as important as the far reaching implications of the data itself! I wonder why there is no mention of the ramifications to the department either. Just releasing the data is great, but what about investigations and punishments? +Holy moly! It looks as if this trial is getting out of control. I know that sensational stories have a tendency to get tons of attention, but I can't help but think about the victims in these cases. I mean, here is a young woman, whole life ahead, who is inexplicably and disturbingly murdered. There seems to be only circumstantial evidence against the accused and the media is overblowing the story which can really detract from finding the truth! The victim here is being overshadowed by the gawker phenomenon. It's sad. I mean, even the premise sounds... fishy... but instead of talking about that, it looks like it's being sensationalized into some media circus. It's terrible. How can they ever get to the truth if the story is corrupted and broadcast to the whole country? +The fact that so many people still die of smoking deaths is unbelievable. With so much knowledge these days we should be able to educate people about the danger associated with smoking and change this pattern! And the fact that the WHO recommends taxation at 75 percent of retail cost and NO states do this is crazy! +There are all these people protesting on both sides of this issue but where were many of these people at the voting booths?? If everyone who is so against Trump came out and voted maybe we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place!! And all the people who voted for third party candidates know that you contributed to this as well because you threw away your vote! +I just learned about the British banker who killed the two Indonesian women in Hong Kong. How horrifying that we have people like this in the world. They seem like your everyday ordinary person, but it shows you just never know. You always have to stay safe, not take chances and don't trust appearances. +Male models are paid a lot less than female models, which is interesting considering all of the news lately about a "wage gap" that some people believe exists. Each industry has a different set of pay and things and that's fine, you have to look at the individual characteristics when judging whether something is wrong. It's very interesting that this is starting to change though, as male products become a bigger market for companies. +So apparently Russia sent a bunch of bombs on a school in Syria. It killed like 22 kids. Now the Russian government is trying to say it never happened. They even showed satellite images of another place and claimed it was there. Some organization called HRW (Human Rights Watch) had evidence to show otherwise. They even had images of the same type of aircraft that the Russians use. +So one of Mariah Carey backup dancers got fired and banned from the Ceasers Palace. Her ex Packer got super jealous of the flirting between them and went all crazy on him. But I do not know why he cares since they broke up last month after something went on between him and her assistant. They say he did something bad to her but I bet he was trying to flirt with her as well. +Did you hear that some kids in another country are passing out in school because they do not have enough to eat? The school can not do much or wont due to lack of funding. Over 35% of kids do not even go to school because of lack of food causing some effect. That is so sad. I am glad that our government has different programs instilled to prevent that. +Did you hear that the very first female US atorney general died recenty at 78. She was put in under Clinton though so she was probably very corrupt and did a lot of bad things over the course of her career. But she went to Harvard so she must have been pretty smart regardless. She was also the one who got a little boy sent back to Cuba which is just horrible since they are living in horrible conditions with a horrible government that abuses them. +Hearing this news makes me so sick. The worst thing a person can do is to hurt a defenseless animal for no reason. It's so sickening that someone felt the need to senselessly murder one of these amazing horses. It makes me so sad that this happened, and I really hope the culprit gets brought to justice. +Police officers are getting out of control nowadays. I can't believe that there hasn't been more action taken against this officer who blatantly punched a woman in the face without provocation, especially since the entire incident was caught on tape. It makes no sense to me that this officer hasn't been charged with assault in this case. +I wasn't sure how the story would end - I know that emus can get aggressive! So glad to know that the emu was docile and behaving well. It seems like the local officials were doing their best not to excite it, that's gratifying to know. Its actually something of a funny story on the whole. I hope that this story provides a good model for others to follow in the event of another emu intervention. +another case of government not working like it should. one should have effective recourse without having to hire an attorney and spend thousands of dollars to straighten things out. it makes me angry because i know how easily it could happen to me. why people can't do their jobs and/or show some empathy in this situation is beyond my comprehension. i sure hope this does not happen to me or you. +there are too many police shootings. however, being in the police is not an easy job. too many people are in a rush to judgement. if cities would be more forthwright and transparent it would help. why people feel that violence and looting is a valid method of protest is beyond me. i have great sympathy for the police. +it is amazing how little it takes for some people to harm or kill another person. it seems like there is a breakdown or morals in our society. we have become more anonimus and disconected from others where we live, in large cities. with no connections to others some people in our society act out their aggression on others. +It aggravates me that in our modern society leaders are condemned before they even have an opportunity to lead. It will happen forevermore into the future no matter who wins elections from here on out. The issue is not opposition so much as it is the ability to organize against someone anymore. Using the internet, it is quite easy to gather a group of thousands and perhaps even hundreds of thousands to combat against something vile or unwarranted. The problem is Trump wasn't even given a chance. Now that things have played out, perhaps some of those people were right about their hatred or grievances but its entirely unfair to subject any president of our country to this before they have even been given the chance to lead. +I just read an article Regarding a severe problem in the Chicago area with the fact that their public water supply has high amounts of lead traces. Just what I need, another worldly problem to stress about?! Article shook me, as the health of not only myself but my children is of the upmost importance to me. I know, I don’t live in the Chicago area, but the article certainly made me think about the water that I drink every day, and my children drink and then just threw foods that I have cooked and prepared. Even my local town has just posted something on the fact that they need $3.2 million to repair the water mains in the one square-mile town as the water pipes are corroded and near health hazard. I Will be researching this locally. I will also be researching for more info on the subject +I just read a story about a study being done by a new University of Washington that was funded and the satellite data from NASA, that was about the Arctic Polar Bears. It said that the climate change has been affecting the feeding and breeding of these 19 polar bears population. It has been having a negative impact on them. I did not know that a polar bear depends on the sea ice to eat. They can not outrun their prey so the sit at the air holes of the seals and when they go up to get air the bear will capture it to eat. The days that this ice is available to the bears have shortened over the thirty-five-year study to almost seven weeks. The study shows that this is a continuing pattern. I am really worried about the outcome for these bears. It is sad to think they may become extinct. +I just read a story about a black man named Terence Crutcher who was shot and killed by a white police officer named Betty Shelby in Tulsa Oklahoma. She was responding to another call when she noticed Terence Crutcher. The camera on her dashboard showed that Terence had his hands up. It was also video tapped by a helicopter. The officer claimed she felt like her life was in danger. Terence was a good man with a good heart. He was a churchgoer and a father of four children. Hundreds of people mourned his passing. If convicted Betty Shelby age 42 could face 4 years in prison for first degree manslaughter. +I kind of felt a little angry reading this article. I felt as thought this may have been something that was preventable with better infrastructure in place or procedures to check water supplies for such bacteria. Many people lost their lives or ended up, maybe it was passed through their family. It would be horrible to lose someone that you care about like this. +We should protect our environment from now on. I think a lot of wild animals have been put into danger because of human beings. People have put too much plastics into the oceans and pollute the living society of wild animals. It was danger to them if there is plastic around. I wish people will do a better jobs. +An article talking about increasing the deportations of Haitians is one that I feel for those involved. Haiti has been brutalized by mother nature, and the Clintons, and people are trying to get somehwere to survive while the country recovers. The U.S. let's them in to ship them back out and that is a bit ridiculous. It's not a situation where those from Mexico just sneak over and hide from society. These people need help but it doesn't shock me that the U.S. wiould do this in a time of need. Sympathy felt but helpless to do anything about it. +I just read this article about the doom of bananas that made me feel like an idiot. I like to think i am smart enough to process this type of article but the words used just had me lost. I wouldn't bother reading it if you still planned on it. It was informative but i felt like i was reading a manual. +So i just read this horrific article about women in nigeria being raped by the officials that rescued them from Boko Haram. If you don't know about Boko Haram you should really look them up. These poor women have no one to trust. I am shocked by what i read and feel so sorry for these people. i wish there was something we could do that would have real impact on their lives. you must read this article. +A hiker was lost in a Malaysian jungle for ten days. The hiker only brought enough food for one day. He survived on bananas and berries he found in the jungle. When he was found he was covered in leaches, weak, and very disoriented. Its a miracle he survived on his own for ten days in the jungle. There was no cell coverage in the part of the jungle he was in so he could not communicate to anyone or ask for help. +A man has took it on himself to kill evasive mice that have doubled in size on an island. The mice feed on birds and when the birds have babies its like a buffet for them to thrive on. I imagine it must be disgusting to have so many mice doing what they please and destroying other animals. It gives me the creeps thinking about it. +Hello! This is why you follow the rules at our National Parks! This is a terrible tragedy that could have easily been avoided. I was young once, and I did plenty of reckless things. I understand, maybe the boy was just trying to check the temperature. Maybe he didn't believe the signs, or he thought it would be cool to do what no one else has done. His poor sister! To see that happen! To see her own brother boil to death. I can't imagine how gruesome that must have been. I just can't believe they couldn't get his body until the next day...and the next day it was gone! This is a huge lesson for anyone that is young and reckless! +Hello again! Writing to share some things I have been learning about. I read that Syrians and Iraqis are granted asylum in Germany far more often than Pakistanis, and Nigerians. Germany is confronting the task of deciding who gets to stay. If you’re from Syria or Iraq, sanctuary is almost guaranteed. But if you’re from Nigeria or Pakistan, chances are you journeyed all the way there for nothing. This is so distressing! +I rememeber where I was when the Paris attack happened. It was so terrible how I felt and how everyone around the world felt. These terrible people are trying to make us scared to do things we love. But I wont let them win. Im so happy the band decided to go back and give a concert. This has to be a statment for us all. Fear will never win! +I am so moved and jealous really of the people of south Korea. For them to protest there President, who is totally wrong for all she did, is somthing to be admired. I love the spirit of the people to not stop untill she leaves office. If only it was that easy for us AMericans to do the same with Trump. +Its so obvious how much lady periods and pills we have to take are linked to our depresstion and body pains. The chemistry going on in our body is somthing I cant even get ahold of. The pill though is such a thing we need if we dont want to have babies that this time. The after math of it is just a deeper conversation we have to understand so that we dont end of hurting ourself. +If you are wearing contacts for your vision to improve then you should be sure to take them out when sleeping. You can get some bacteria in your eye that will accumulate and might cause problems if you do not do this. I forgot what the thing was called but it might even cause the contact user to become blinded. +The Islamic state is now desperately using human shields to try and deter our attacks against them. This is a strategy that is doomed to failure for multiple reasons, the biggest being the civilians they are using aren't going to tolerate that shit forever, and will probably start resisting and escaping. The next biggest, America doesn't really show restraint when they want to bomb a target and civilians are present. I mean, we generally go out of our way to not blow up the nearby children's hospital, but the second we suspect Bin Laden's cousin is in there 7000 drones start swarming. +And in other news ushering in the apocalypse, Paraguay just mismanaged their water resources so poorly that one of their rivers almost completely has dried up, in addition to a drought. I feel like these types of things are going to become extremely common in our near future thanks to our current President's very uninterested feelings about global warming. We will likely never recover since we have long since not done enough to combat it, and millions worldwide are going to suffer and die as stuff like this becomes a seasonal thing. +From this article I learned about repression of gay rights in Uganda. Gay rights protesters were rounded up by police and taken away from the resort where they were protesting and of those that attempted to resume protesting at another spot, police escorted them away. Gay rights have been struggling in Uganda, where homosexuality is illegal and repressed. +I was reading an article about poachers killing off many elephants because of the ivory trade. One part that stuck in my mind is that in one country, the elephants are protected more than they are in the neighboring country. It is odd that an elephant can literally walk away from its protection by wandering into the neighboring country. I was not aware of any of this. The article somewhat jokingly said that elephants do not have passports. +Hey man did you hear about this Palm Oil Company is trying to threaten to take down the worlds third largest Orangutan populations? This is pretty upsetting for me as I am in love with these animals. They are wanting to cut down most of the forest. This place is in Indonesia and this company is also planning on building a drainage canal from the north to the south side of the area for which some work has already reportedly began. I really wished there was a way we can help and protect this land. You would have thought that this would be an important area that needed protected. I mean there are what about any where from 750 to 1750 orangutan..They're classified as endangered now. +Those native people really dont deserve that kind of treatment its unfair. how can you have people just not speak their own native language? i dont get why they cant just let them live in both worlds and experience both cultures instead of forcing them to be a part of their specific culture. They really need to be spoken up against for this kind of injustice +I pretty much hate all wildlife including squirrels. They should just go blast the little varmint. After all squirrels carry rabies and other diseases even if they say small animals seldom have rabies. Once you bite a human, it's over and you deserve to die. It is kind of funny though these elderly people not being able to get away. Why does everything wacky always happen in Florida. Like 30% of anything strange happens in Florida. Frankly I think some reporter made the whole thing up. Squirrels are not going to attack multiple people. Sure they might on a rare occasion bite someone but not three people. Then again it's Florida so common laws and logic go out the window. ANyhow thought you might enjoy some rambling on some things I read. Take care buddy. Later. +I just read an article where there was a horrible natural disaster. They were saying how the town is a virtual ghost town and workers weren't allowed to go back until they check the building further. Could you imagine what it would be like to be one of those people, I mean to lose everything you have? Things you've worked so hard to aquire just gone? And God forbid a loved one? I don't even know how you would begin to process all of this. +I've seen the Slager video, he needs to be in prison. As far as Tensig goes, that's a tough call. Moral of the story is, don't give a man with a gun any reason to be afraid of you.The traffic stop went the direction it did because of DuBose's actions.I have a hard time feeling sympathy for someone who makes horrible decisions that result in predictable outcomes. +I just read an article about cave divers in Florida who died trying to explore the cave system. It seems like an incredibly dangerous thing to do. I'm not so sure I see the benefit in doing this kind of activity. I feel like they people knew the risks and what could happen if things go wrong. This is not something I'd do myself. +I read an article about the Loud Music Shooter, not sure if you've heard about this case in Florida. It seems like they've upheld the murder conviction for the man who shot a black teen during an argument about loud music being played. It did seem more like murder and not so much like an actual self-defense situation. +I just read a really sad story about a kid who got lost while hiking in Vietnam. You should read it. It's frustrating because he made a number of very basic errors that even the young kids in my scouting group know to avoid. He was alone. He lacked proper gear to survive changes in weather. He did not know his route. When he got lost, he kept moving instead of staying put. He also failed to let rescuers come to him. He could very easily have been stayed if he had made all of these error s and just stayed put. I hope his friend doesn't feel too much guilt over this. It's not her fault but judging from the article, she blames herself. I can't imagine what his parents are going through. My mom is always worried when I go backpacking and she'd go crazy if anything like this happened to me. +Here's another article from the 2016 campaign that didn't age well. Read it and have a laugh. It's pretty ridiculous in retrospect. More of the women they're talking about voted for Trump than Hillary. I guess they never asked women if those allegations bothered them or were important. I know that you told me after the Access Hollywood tapes that you didn't care about that stuff, that policy issues were more important. +This story is just sad and I just feel like there should be something that we can do to prevent killings of wild animals just because they own the earth as well as we do. Just because humans are expanding and advancing in technology it does not mean that we kill and we hunt everything that we see. It is heartbreaking. +what horror this news. in poor little boy of just 2 years of age he fell through the window of his apartment on the 11th floor of a building. The mother relates that I go to sleep with her older brother and this one hour later I climb to the window that apparently was open and rushed into the void crashing with the asphalt of the parking lot. A neighbor found the scene and desperate for horror called 911. +This article is extremely sad for the State of Louisiana. Not only has the state been ravaged by floods leading to the damage of both homes and businesses, but now the economy is being further devastated by the exodus of individuals and population erosion from pre-Katrina years. The state needs an injection of capital to help individuals and small businesses get their feet back underneath them, and providing the foundation of the local economies to not only sustain themselves and thrive. +Man that's tough to read- I remember watching those events unfold and just being absolutely miserable and horrified over it. I remember hearing that they were killing hostages one by one on the news, and just bursting into tears at that point. This article really vividly reminded me of that moment, it's really sad. +It is sad that people have nothing better to do than to get into other people's business. It seems that we are at an all time low as a society and that there is no respect for other people's privacy. This is what I see as the darker side of the internet. It opens the the door for behavior that should not be encouraged in for a safe and productive society. +There are several strange factors surrounding the tragic and fatal event. First, why was there not a sign or caution tape to block off the broken elevator? How was the mother able to walk into it without knowing that it was broken? The other tenant's reports about the condition of the elevators in the past are also alarming. Why was this problem not addressed long ago by the landlord? It should not take such a horrible event to occur for people to recognize that there is a problem with the building and the way technicians are doing inspections. +The thought of such conditions in the slaughtering of chickens is very disturbing. I am by no means a vegetarian, and enjoy eating chicken a great deal. However, the thought of torturing a chicken for slaughter turns my stomach. There needs to be an ethical solution to the slaughtering of all animals, not just chicken. And I believe a universal approach that is easily controlled and monitored would be ideal, but most likely not cost efficient. +Hey, Check out this article about PTSD. I feel bad for these veterans that had to experience this as a result from the Vietnam War. I know someone that has fought in the Vietnam War and he has seen other soldiers being diagnosed as a result of the war. It's sad to see these soldiers go through so much trauma and disgust after the war. With the increasing rate of the mental health issue, it makes me worry even more. +So a man murdered someone over a card being declined. At a Starbucks of course, this is just getting to be ridiculous. Someone gets pissy because they have no money and decide to hurt someone else that has nothing to do with it. The more news articles I read like this, the less faith I have in humanity. +This right here is bullshit. I don't know who wrote this shit article but from what I read it argues that livestock are more a contributor to gas emissions in our atmosphere then vehicle emissions. It spouts some numbers and facts but I can see straight away this is a fabricated article that is completely biased. This is the crap we need to take out of our news. +Looks like American Apparel is at it again and declaring bankruptcy. Ironically they are getting bought out by a Canadian company. I feel sorry for the employees, but its hard to feel sorry for the company since they just dont seem to get it. I think one chance is fair, but when you have to declare bankruptcy again a year later your management doesnt seem to know what they are doing. Maybe the company that bought them will finally get it right. +What a tragedy this is! I feel so bad for all the owners who lost their pets in that situation. Pets are like members of your family, and losing a pet is no different. My heart goes out to all of the people who are effected by this. There is nothing this business can do to bring back the animals that died and ease the owners suffering. Hopefully they never let something like this happen again. +Well, I dont really feel much about this either way. I feel badly for the family of the victim, I'm sure they are devastated, but it's not surprising something like this would happen, given the type of things he wrote, and the climate in the country in which they lived. My thoughts of out to the family. +Although this is bad, I have to admit that it's also rather funny. I do wonder what caused the squirrel to go on such a rampage. Perhaps it felt threatened? Maybe it was abused? Perhaps it got caught inside and out of fear did what animals do - bite and claw their way out. I'm assuming it was the latter reason and this just happened to be an odd situation. I don't think it meant to hurt anyone, I think it was just scared and people got bit because they got in its way. I can't imagine another reason than that. And the people were fine anyway. +This article highlights the fact that we might be going on about our lives, secure in the knowledge that everything is fine, but then suddenly when you least expect it, we are reminded of our own mortality. It makes me want to live each and every day as well as I can, because I never know if it might be my last. Sometimes we think we have forever, but this article is a reminder that each day we live on this Earth, imperfect though it may be, is a gift. +This is an absolute disgrace that it still happens and can happen in America. How are things like this still happening. I get that there has always been murder, and if someone is determined enough they are going to find a way to do this, but for it to happen in one of the most locked down and secured places is ridiculous. I feel bad for the family involved and hopefully their loss will help spark a positive change. +I just read this article about a forest land in Indonesia that could potentially be cut down and turned in to a tree plant. Normally an article like this might not attract my attention and cause me to read any further, but this particular forest land is home to the 3rd largest population of endangered orangutans and if the forest is cut down, it is estimated that 1750 orangutans will die or have to be rescued and re-homed. This is so heartbreaking to me because these are innocent animals, endangered ones at that, that are just living in their natural environment and have done nothing wrong. How can the government in Indonesia think that this idea is even a possibility, never mind the fact it could not possibly be a positive thing because of the negative impact it has on this species!! +Wow! I just read this article about a young boy in China who fell in to a well and was found dead 4 days later. It was SO sad to read this! It stated that boy was helping his dad harvest food when he fell in this well that was only 1 foot wide and that no adults could fit in it to go down and rescue him! Can you even imagine what that father must have been feeling knowing that his little boy fell in this well while helping him and he could not get down there to help him! I just imagine how heartbreaking this whole situation must have been for the family and for the rescuers who spent days trying everything they could to get to him and potentially help him. As a mom, it just makes me sick to think that I could be in a situation like that and do nothing to help one of my babies! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/label_list.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/label_list.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..aa3a62161e4d966a72e3d42c0d5df251c6ecfafe --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/label_list.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +not distress +distress bin \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/test_labels.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/test_labels.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9c296b3382aa4dcf92d391e75b532dad56ee58a5 --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/test_labels.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/test_text.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/test_text.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b4bd038c0c426d7153ff1edbfb26d8add7bc20cc --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/test_text.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +I thought the article was quite sad to read and disheartening to hear about the Iraqi people.

I hope that it gets better in the future. +I think almost everyone has an opinion on Hilary Clinton over Donald Trump. Many didn't expect Donald to win the election but here we are. So many political scandals unfolded and more continuing to unravel. Many didn't agree with Hilary from the Bengazi investigation and many didn't agree with Trump, but in the end that's just politics. +I've heard of necrotizing fasciitis before. It's really fucking scary to think that just from a tiny little cut you could get a disease that has a high likelihood of killing you. There's also a similar bacteria called naegleria fowlerii that can get into your body from water going up your nostrils and it basically eats your brain. Nature is fucking metal. +It's a shame that we have so many random acts of violence in this country. It seems every other week we have some massacre involving either guns, a right wing extremist or a muslim extremist. I think what they have in common are either mentally ill people or people who are extremist in their world views and religion. +I feel for her. They couldn’t afford to cremate them on their own and help them, and the financial help they were entitled to as crime victims had not come through because the system today isn't going to help criminals. I hope the government now helps criminals through dangerous activities and make the world a better place +Here's an article about crazed person who murdered two unfortunate women overseas. Life is crazy. I can't imagine what the families are going through. Having to go to or being forced into sex work is bad enough, but for it to end like this is just sad. It feels like there's no place safe in this world to be a woman sometimes. +I know this article is super wordy, but it is an interesting read, if you have a chance ad you are bored, make sure you read it. It is about how Democrats will move forward in the next few years to get legoslation moving. It has been hard with Trump in the White House for the whole country, but imagine being a democrat right now trying to push legislation that your constituents are asking about?

I think any conflict and abuses of power in any nation in the world, especially in the middle east, can spell disaster for the people in the US.

It is no wonder that religious minorities in Syria supported Assad. At least he protects them. He probably has committed atrocities, but it seems every side has committed atrocities there. This murder was in Jordan, and even though the Jordanian royals come off as urbane Westerners, there is obviously an undercurrent of extreme Islamism in some of the population. Christians are murdered all the time around the world, but this rarely gets attention in the US media, which is completely corrupt. +The whole "police violence against blacks" theme has been overplayed to manipulate people. The fact is that there really is a problem of police feeling justified in shooting people whenever they feel threatened, but this doesn't just happen to blacks. I can think of four cases off the top of my head where innocent unarmed white men were killed by police. One of them was the recent case where the guy who died was the victim of "swatting". He wasn't involved in an crime at all, but the police burst into his house with guns blazing and he died. And the cop won't be prosecuted. I hope that blacks who care about this issue will realize they are being manipulated and will join forces with others who don't want to live in a police state. +Funny how it always comes down the to the gun and not the person wielding it. People will always be able to get guns, legally or not. the issue is more with society treatment of young men. Too many single moms, too many kids being ostracized and bullied.

This cannot be good for the ecosystem. Or is it? In contrast to the article, i remember seeing a whale die because the ice was so thick and they were trapped. Perhaps neither are good, but how do we fix this? +This is so sad. Today I read about a lady who passed away November 6th and had shared many of her stories of her experiences in the holocaust. IT's very sad to think there aren't many people left to share these stories. I remember being in Junior high and hearing someone speak about it, and to think kids these days will never get that.

You'd think all the different factions would finally agree to disagree and move on but instead they just seem to want to keep killing. I understand why since so many different groups want to destroy the other side leaving smaller nations like Yemen to have to defend themselves since the other factions seem to be unable to leave in peace. +Overall the problem here seems to be that overuse of resources in a certain area needs to be stopped. Simply pumping more water isn't the issue and perhaps the fact that too many people are trying to use that water source should be something that's looked into. There should also be some sort of testing and filtering system put into place to protect the people. +This article greatly disturbs me. The fact that we treat Muslims and people of their culture like dogs and terrorist is disgusting and wrong both morally and ethically. The way they are being shown on tv and media is wrong and horrible. Our president thinks that if we ban muslims from the country, all of a sudden our nation is safe. When the fact of the matter is, most shootings that happen in this country, are from Caucasians. Muslims are shown in bad light due to some extremist and they do not deserve this treatment. +Can you imagine being forced to live in such a violent place??

My heart breaks for this people, as they don't have anyone to turn to for help. They feel powerless, hungry and scared. +As we all know, there has been much media on police brutality. There are many police officers that believe they are above the law, and the common citizens doesn't have any rights when they are interacting with them. Unfortunately, it's very sad to say, that even if a citizen is innocent, if they don't cooperate to the fullest, the police can physically harm them, even possibly lead to being shot and killed. This is very scary! So, while I don't believe all officers are like this, one is too many! +Wow. So... I sure as fuck do not have that much to say about that stupid article / news story. But, I guess that I'll try to think of something. It's also not at all something that I would share or want to share with anyone that I know. It's not relevant to me or the people that I know and care about. It's not something that I would just choose to read either. Ok. Have you seen this article about the dad that killed his daughter's molester? Apparently she was molested when she was young, the guy went to jail for a year and a half and was let out. Many years later, the dad went and shot the guy. That's pretty much it. I don't know why I'm sending this to you, but what do you think? I think that it was boring and I wasn't interested in it at all. +Again, I wouldn't share this with anyone; it's not that interesting to me or to the people that I know.

I know some people will say it is not a person, but this is still another needless murder that occurred because of a gun. +It is so sad and terrible how these alternative medicine manufacturers take advantage of people. So many people believe that these things are healthier or will make them feel better than traditional medication, but clearly they just make things worse. These companies pray on uneducated people and it leads to such terrible outcomes. These people don't deserve these health problems. +I absolutely hate seeing this kind of violent racism in the world. Too many people think that just because someone is different they are less worthy of life than themselves. It is honestly just terrible. It feels like we are seeing more and more of this everyday. Humans really need to come together and realize that we are all the same, and there is not reason to cause each other harm and pain such as this. +This is so unfortunate for the family of this father and son. They were probably just trying to have a nice together, but did not research the area well enough or did not pay proper attention.

It's not shock that after years of the right bullying the left into tolerating intolerance that we've come to this point. People aren't even trying to hide their racism anymore, and they're intentionally making shit worse to justify their oppressive agendas. +How can people take something like relationships for granted? It's infuriating that in a world where I have to fight for the right to marry the person I love and adore and want to pamper and cherish and share a life with that there are assholes out there like this with anger issues who will get in their alleged partner's face and shout. The hate is just mind blowing. +I think timeshares are silly and this article just confirms it. In the article it talks about how hard it is for some people to get rid of timeshares after they have them. Timeshare salesmen are so pushy when you first sign up for one I can't imagine how hard it is to get out of one. I'm just glad that I don't have a timeshare and never will. I'm sure they have some many tiny provisions in their contracts that make them really difficult to get out of successfully. +This is disgusting! I wish that the international community would step up and stop these atrocities from continuing to happen. But no one in the international community seems to care. Its so sad, it is like another Rwanda is happening right in front of us but no one wants to spend the money to do anything about it because it is seen as just another third world backwater. Things need to change before the international order is completely forgotten about. +This is horribly to read about. The sheer number of people dying every day, just trying to escape on boats, is quite alarming. Think about people from one country equaling those people dying in gang violence in major, crime ridden societies - but JUST for people attempting to escape via water. What should we do about this? Open our borders? Is it enough to simply help them get out of where they are to some place safer? Obviously this isnt exacly their fault, especially the kids. But what can we do? Will money help? Probably not. Open borders will. Bring them here and help them find a more peaceful way through thehri own lives. +India Kashmir: The teenager blinded by pellets — Photographer Abid Bhat here describes the life of 14-year-old Insha Mushtaq, who lost vision in both her eyes after being hit by pellets in Indian-administered Kashmir. "I just want to ask the security personnel who fired pellets at me what my fault was," Miss Mushtaq says, as she stands by the same window she was sitting at when pellets blinded her. She has been in and out of hospitals for the past three months in an attempt to regain her vision. Nothing has worked so far, but she remains hopeful. Ms Mushtaq says she wanted to become a doctor before losing her vision. She brings out her text books to show me, and flips the pages though she cannot read them anymore.

Gilbert and Wilson conducted a study to show how pleased a person would feel if they purchased flowers for themselves for no specific reason (birthday, anniversary, or promotion etc.) and how long they thought that feeling would last.

Results showed that those who had purchased flowers in the past for themselves felt happier and that feeling lasted longer for them than for a person who had never experienced purchasing flowers for themselves +the trumph had made a huge impact on a american politics. he had made some terrible move on the politics and it had made the other countries to trun on america.after a white supremacist carried out a massacre of black churchgoers in Charleston, S.C., it seemed as though the Confederate battle flag. these were also made some huge impact on the american politics that had made by trumph.

Many people, researchers at the CDC say, are not prioritizing sleep.So how can you force yourself to go early in bed? Well, this new research that we’ll discuss might convince you to review your priorities and put sleep above many, because you still can. +Clearly, this was an opinion piece. It is upsetting that so many try to pass off an opinion piece as a news article these days. That is exactly what fake news is. The writer wasn't even trying to hide it.

Sure, some of the info in there may be accurate, but the bias overwhelms all. +The article says that- Trump to supporters harassing minorities: 'Stop it' — Donald Trump on Sunday told his supporters to stop harassing minorities, in his first televised sit-down interview since becoming President-elect. "I am so saddened to hear that," Trump told CBS' Lesley Stahl on "60 Minutes" when she said Latinos and Muslims are facing harassment. "And I say, 'Stop it.' If it -- if it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: 'Stop it.'" Trump directed his comments to his own supporters whom said have written racist slogans or chanted degrading messages -- particularly in schools. It was a powerful appeal to a nation ripped apart by the divisive 2016 campaign. Trump's election has left Democrats angry and many minorities fearful about the future. +Hello friend, how have you been lately?, I have some curiosity about an article that I read recently, that helped me a lot, that I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this , for example: that a study published online through the journal Current Biology revealed that in the period of 25 years, half the size of the Amazon, and twice the size of the state of Alaska, has been exhausted. +Hello, how have you been lately?

Birth Without Fear also published his photo on Facebook, where he reached more than 6,000 likes., I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this one. +Hello, I have to tell you something friend, I have some curiosity about an article that I read recently, said that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. The next day, a man discovered that someone had painted swastikas in an abandoned store in South Philadelphia, I was hoping that this type of information could be in the article +I have read the article and think that it's a story I have read many times. ISIS claims that the person is part of their army, but there is no evidence that the person was supported by them. It also shows that it's almost impossible to tell whether someone will become a terrorist based on their personality or what religion they are. +It's hard to believe that they would go through with this, but they probably want economic growth and that will need extra airport runways.

It blows my mind the level of shit people will do in order to make a buck. It seems like people treat celebrities as if they are not people at all. People that leave negative comments on celebrity pages are taking it to a new level. People say the shittiest things to each other when they're hiding behind their computer screen. This particular guy took it to the extreme by stealing their private photos. +I just read the most terrible article about war and terrorism, I couldn't even imagine the fear these people are living. They are being forced from their homes by threats of death. The conditions in this area are terrible. They're low on most supplies including food. So prices for everything are inflated to prices they can't even afford. I literally cannot imagine at all living in a place like this. There are so many others senseless killings in that area already, I would fear for the life of my family and myself! +I just read an article about women encouraging other women to get IUD's before Trump took office. They were worried that trump in office will restrict women's access to affordable birth control. They think because the IUD can last for so long that women should get them in soon. I don't think these women need to be out getting IUD's, there are other ways to prevent pregnancy. If they are really concerned, condoms work well. +They should really figure out if these earthquakes are due to fracking wastewater, and if so stop the practice. Politicians aren’t concerned about the plight of the ordinary people though. Fracking companies have lobbyists and money, while the victims of the earthquakes have neither. Ultimately nothing will get addressed unless something catastrophic happens. +Just because someone happens to be a celebrity doesn't mean that their suffering is any less valid than the average person's. We should learn to recognize that as a society, we must come to understand the universal nature of suffering as applicable to all people. One's status in life should not leave them any more open to suffering than others. +He said it would not stop him returning to the field to help save wildlife. Van Niekerk said they were called last weekend to assist a ranger who had caught a poacher near Sabi river. “My colleagues and I, with four Mozambican police officers, were transporting the poacher to the station, which was about 30km away, when he escaped from the vehicle. I chased after the poacher and caught him. I handed him back to the police officer. Suddenly, a mob from the community started moving towards us,” said Van Niekerk. The police officers who were with them ran away. “We, the rangers, were the targets. +Look at this article. Notice anything missing? Yeah, any sources or any kind of backing for these claims OR any sources for the supposed "real estate developers" giving false data. So, watch how well my feelings beat up this straw man I've set up! You'd think they'd have noticed how long Chicken Little has been going on about this and yet still no fallen sky. +What an unfortunate situation--and a total shame that regulations on these conditions aren't more thorough. Of course the reputation of the kennel should be considered suspect now. The article says that the business will remain open, but I think it would be best to close up shop. After a news piece like this, I don't think many owners will be bringing their pets to stay. +It's fascinating to think that these celebrities were fooled so easily by a regular guy. Of course the man's actions are reprehensible, and his jail sentence seems reasonable, but you'd think that celebrities would be more conscious of phishing attacks. Especially since these people gave over their passwords willingly, it's hard to understand the legal precedent for sending someone to jail over this. +I had no idea there is a stunning process when killing chickens, but it makes sense. Unfortunately it seems to not work very well. For all these pieces of convoluted technology being used, no one has been clever enough to think of the solution that we could eat less meat. Certainly it's no secret that animal agriculture is terrible for the planet. Hopefully this will be the next piece in a long line of information pushing us towards vegetarianism. +It's not pleasant to think of these animals being mistreated, but for all the problems in the world something like this seems rather minor. Of course it would be great to ensure good keeping of animals, but there are more pressing tragedies happening much more often to human beings that we should focus on before addressing these issues of occasional animal mis-handling. +Perception of the physical world does not necessarily result in a universal reaction among receivers (see emotions), but varies depending upon one's tendency to handle the situation, how the situation relates to the receiver's past experiences, and any number of other factors. Feelings are also known as a state of consciousness, such as that resulting from emotions, sentiments or desires. People buy products in hopes that the product will make them feel a certain way: either happy, excited or beautiful. Or, they find the product useful in some way, even indirectly such as to support a charity or for altruistic economic reasons. Some people buy beauty products in hopes of achieving a state of happiness or a sense of self beauty or as an act or expression of beauty +Hello friend, It's sad that thousands of hectares of tropical forests in Latin America have been changed from their natural habitat to grow bananas. The rise of different types of diseases that focus on banana tress is alarming. I hope we can find a cure for these diseases before it's too late. I did not realize bananas were a genetic accident. Lucky for us! +Hello friend, This article cracks me up. As someone who hates Trump, I think it's hilarious. Realistically, the mother should've just talked to her son about the reasons she dislikes Trump. Trying to convince him that Trump is a immoral person would've been a better use of her time. What makes me mad though, is that people called CPS on her. People always trying to get involved in everybody's business. +Check out this article. Remember I was telling you the other day about that man from the bank who approached me in the market? He was asking about my savings plan and long and short term goals. He also asked about my mortgage. I bet he has the same pressures as the bank workers in Pennsylvania. So shady! I would never want to work under that kind of pressure. +I like Lena Heady, and, even though she plays one of the worst mother's on television, I can imagine that she must be a ball of nerves over this custody dispute. I can;t imagine having to go through this, especially since the custody seemed to be agreed upon. Her ex husband doesn't seem to be thinking about Wylie's best interest - only his own. If it were me, I'd fight tooth and nail to kepp my son in the same country as me. +YOu hear about the environmental cost of using coal, but it is very upsetting to read about specific people and how their lives have changed, for the worse, because of coal mining. Further upsetting is to hear about the animals effected. Elephants invading villages, being electrocuted, hurting humans, all because their land is being taken for coal. Sad! People are dying from lack of fresh air and water, and it is wrong. +It must be extremely difficult to find these lone wolf terrorist. I can only begin to understand the type of manpower needed to pursue these people. I think that most of them are mentally ill and hard to catch before they commit the crime. It makes me think of the movie Minority Report and how that type of technology might become available with the advance of A.I.. +There are immigrants in this country that are having a hard time assimilation in to the American Culture. The article blames Trump I believe there are most things at work here than just him. It seems the system is working as intended and it was in place before Trump. People need to be able to assimilate as it keeps our country at peace. What do you think we should do about it? +You are not going to believe this article I just read about something akin to torture, called conversion therapy. It's something, designed by quacks, that is supposed to convert gay or queer people to heterosexual. Are you kidding me? People are who they are in life and are not to be changed, but embraced and supported. The regimen these poor people had to go through in this so called therapy was barbaric, and would not be used in North Korea as a torture. It's unbelievable what people do in the name of helping. +Hi. Just read an article about how Russia is moving some of their military ships near to Britain. What's the deal there? I can really figure out what the Russian government is up to. The article says they are stating the want to keep major waterways safe, but I didn't know there was a problem. Maybe they're creating one. +Those poor families in the Middle East. Near the city of Yemen. I guess so much fighting over there has led to really unhealthy living conditions. They are having new suspected cases of cholera all the time, and most of those ill are young kids. I can't even imagine such bad living conditions. These kids deserve a better life. Not fear and illness. +Seems like a pretty ordinary occurrence. I'm sure their families are upset but I'm less sure this kind of story deserves space in a newspaper. A couple people got sick and they died. Anyway, it's a mildly sad story but it's not noteworthy or newsworthy. I don't understand why stories like this run in the paper. +The article was about smokers and the prevalence of cancer among cigarette smokers. It indicated that the tobacco lobby results in weak tobacco control and a low effort among politicians to try and stop people from smoking. Quite frankly, I'm not sure why I should care about smokers. The evidence is there for them to see, yet they persist in their bad habits. Government can only do so much and it makes little sense for me to worry about another person's health when they are consciously making the decision to kill themselves. +Yuck. Although I don't think you can say it was particularly disturbing for women because a lot of women voted for the misogynistic ass. The real problem was reasonable people didn't bother to vote. I did. And after the election news I was so depressed, I stayed home and drank wine that day. I didn't have to work. +Its sad and all but when is there every not trouble in the middle east? You know my grandmother was Syrian so this maybe should be more personal for me, but its kind of not. Those people are crazy. Fell sorry for the civilians though and the united states should really take a lot of refugees from there. +Hello! I just read this article and would like to share it with you. It is about the oak trees dying along the west coast. I know you are interested and we've talked about this before. It seems to be caused by beetles and they are multiplying faster because of warm temperatures. I wish there was something more we were doing to stop climate change and these warm temps! +Passing this article along to you! Remember how we were just discussing this? I guess there is enough doubt now in the death of the Polish former president that died in that plane crash that they now are exhuming the body. Some people suspect that the Russians actually poisoned him and the crash is a cover up! Not everyone's happy about this though as it might seem disrespectful. +I cannot believe that this happened. I feel so bad for her! Can you believe she received threats on twitter? It is cyber bullying for sure. I cannt imagine this happening to me, how scary! I am so sad that she had to cancel her account because of crazy people. Ughhh! I hope that these bullies are caught and she can go back to her account. +It is unreal that so many issues can come out of a natural disaster like this. YOu would think that we could pull together more and help people! I cannot imagine what would happen to us if a natural dister happened here, we would never recover. This is soo scary. I am thankful for all of the people volunteering time to help! +Can you believe that these women have to endure this?? I am so thankful that they are standing up for themselves and trying to regain some of their rights. It is crazy that things like this still go on in this world. I stand in support of these brave ladies and I hope that no undue harm is caused to them. +Can you believe this happened? Ughh. How scary! I realize that people can be angry with each other, but pushing someone in front of a train??? It is amazing to me that people are so out of control that they can't even handle a verbal dispute with someone. Its easy, just walk away! I guess I should stay away from the train platform +I had never heard of people shaming women who give birth by C section. This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I'm sure the majority of C sections are medically required to help the mother and the baby, not because women are just so eager to undergo major surgery. Why do people even care if someone gave birth by C section instead of natural birth anyway. +Wow, can you believe he survived in the jungle that long on his own? It is amazing what the human body is capable of hey? I remember the last time I went a couple days without food and it was so intense. People think they are ready to survive in the wild but we really have so few skills to get food for ourselves without the right tools. It's amazing that he was found after all that time. I wonder how long it will take for him to recover? +The results of the fire could have been worse. I'm just glad nobody died. Stuff can always be replaced. Burns are the worst since they're so painful. Hopefully these people have some family they can stay with until they're able to find a new housing situation. That's great that the firemen were able to get the fire under control so quickly. +I find it interesting to view the lives of primates in order to try and understand how it relates to our own. The way that the primates dealt with farsightedness seemed very practical to me which shows off their ingenuity and ability to problem solve. It makes me wonder if that's where humans get their own ability to problem solve as well. +I think it is a shame that people still lose their lives on trails. Some do not appreciate the dangers of mother nature and try to best her without realizing what they are up against. It is always important to prepare before you go out on a hike. Without understanding what you are doing, a person could easily end up lost or dead. +This type of thing is always largely ignored as it goes on, when people could have known about it but chose not to. Then many years later the truth comes out and some people address it with discomfort, and others still continue to ignore it. The way for real change to come is with accountability. Any crimes that aren't protected by a statue of limitations need to be addressed through prosecution, and they need to look for ways to prosecute instead of looking for ways not to. They should also encourage civil suits, but those are always against the departments and not the individuals. There needs to be reform so that the officers are the ones that are held accountable instead of the taxpayers continually having to make payouts because the police broke the law. +That idiot deserves a lot worse but hopefully we can erase all symbols of his existence soon. Starting with everything he did as President, but then get rid of all his buildings and everything else with his name on it. Maybe when he pays for his crimes he will have to sell all those buildings off. It would be great to get a full accounting of everything he actually owns so that he can repay everyone he has ever ripped off over his lifetime of scamming people. The name "Trump" should forever be associated with crime, grifting, treason, lying, cheating and just generally being a piece of human garbage. Let his stupid kids live with that brand. +The general rule of thumb is that to be healthy individuals need to get a minimum of eight hours of sleep a night. Some people get more, and some people get along well with less, but everyone needs to get enough sleep or else they cannot function effectively in their everyday activities. In their work, Your Guide to a Healthy Sleep, National Institutes of Health pointed out that sleep is very important to human existence, so important that one-third of a person’s life is spent doing it (1). In Sleep, Sleep Disorders, and Biological Rhythms, Amlaner said, “Sleep is a required activity, not an option” (19). During sleep the human body has an opportunity to recuperate from the activities of the day. The recuperation goes beyond tha +Hey soul sista. I know this whole Crutcher thing has you shook. I am certain you have read more articles on this matter. Let me say that reading this worries me as well. My wife is worried for her daddy who lives in the area. Please do me a favor and bring this article up in your weekly political meetings. I just want to make sure this gets more movement along the grass root channels you work with. I am sending my best with this article to you. +I cannot believe this! How can they do this to people? They have less than a week to move out after some of them being there for over 10 years. I am just saddened that political and ideological strife will deny not only teacher from working, but for students to be able to have a quality education. What can we do to help? Let me know if you know what we can rally against. +Remember when I told you I had ringing in my ear sometimes? This article seems to parallel what I was talking about. Can you look into this further? I really trust your viewpoint on this. I am going to ask my doctor about this later on this week. I do not want this to get worse. Maybe you can advise on a good doctor I can see regarding this? I am just really worried about it. Thanks again man! +Hey I just wanted you know that I read something disturbing this morning in an article. There were bombings and people were killed over fuel. This is alarming and out of control. I'm feeling so many emotions right now. From upset to angry. I don't understand how people can blow other people up over something so trivial and stupid. They were just wanting fuel! +Oh my goodness, did you read this article? It was heart-wrenching... I felt so sad while reading it and my heart breaks for the mother of these babies. There is no way that a parent should ever, ever have to lose a child,muchless two children at the same time. So horrifying and sad! Something has to be done about all of this. They deserve justice!! +Trump continues to fuck up the nation. Did you read this story of how Trump wants to back out of the Paris Accord? As a nation we are finally trying to seriously address climate change and we are doing that with partners around the world. However, Trump the national embarrassment has seen to it that not only do we not continue trying to make the planet better, but we also betray our allies. +you can never really trust a person.Someone can end up dead and those who are left in the wake are the ones that suffer.Really makes you think just how short of a life we have in comparrison.But having no sex can do something to a person.It is one of those things that we have a bond between a person and if something in a relationship is not working it can drive a person to do something they would normally not do. +That's a really strange and messed up situation. It's really sad for the children involved and it's very troubling that any country could plan out such an awful attack. I hope that things change in those areas of the world and more security is put in place so these types of attacks can be detected and negated. +it's dissapointing that in this day and age that homosexuality is still illegal in different countries. I would think that it would be past that and that people would just get over it. It took forever for America to recognize gay marriage so I guess it's not surprising that Uganda hasn't yet. But I still think that it's a breach of human rights and it's moraly wrong +This sounds like such a freak thing. It must be so hard for the family because there are no answers and they need answers. I'm not sure this is something that is easy to figure out. It sounds like a severe case of pneumonia, but from what, how and why. And the fluid on the brain of the one sister is so strange. I would think they would know more after the autopsies, and I don't understand why that is taking so long. I'm thinking that the family wants to bring the bodies back to the States and that could be holding up the autopsies. +Working out is important, but you may want to check the ingredients of the supplements you take. This article talks about a number of ingredients that can cause dangerous side effects and are also very common in work out supplements. It's scary to think about what we are putting in our body. From now on, I am probably going to cut back and go more natural. +I just read this article about a scandal involving a person trying to rent a place from someone else, but then it turned out that this person was using it for personal reasons because the place the other person was renting wasn't own bu the person they thought. It would be interesting if the author of the article didn't try so hard to sound like a kid using slang. +I just read this really long article about a white man that actually got sentenced after shooting a black teenager dead. I can't help but feel incredibly satisfied after reading this. It happens way too much in this country where white people are able to get away with hurting black people. This time, it finally feels like some justice has been done. +I just can't imagine that this poor 4 year old was blinded the way she was. But then I wonder if it is truly an act of justice to carry out the same punishment on the perpetrator. It seems so human to want revenge, but it also feel so useless. In a way it seems to make "us" as "bad" as him. It just makes me sad. +This is such a sad story. I feel so much for the mother trying to get away. Sometimes it seems like things won't be so bad. Sometimes it seems like tomorrow is another chance, but it seems to me that you can't give people the opportunity to destroy because they will. I would always encourage a one strike policy for my friends. That reminds me, how was your friend after her husband threatened to shoot her - are they still together? +Wow - this is so so horrible! I can't even begin to understand why Syria would attack its own citizens, and why would Russia support them in doing so? This is a sick regime and I am glad that America and its allies are interfering. The fact that they are denying doing it is truly messed up. I hope these poor children who survived are able to get the healthcare they so desperately deserved. Could you guys imagine if this was happening here?? +I saw this news item about a shooting in North Philly. Is this near where you live? Damn, I am so sick of gun violence. Will it ever end? Every day, it seems to be something new. Here in Detroit, we see it all the time and I know you're in a similar situation in Philadelphia. The article doesn't give any details about the victims or anything like that. It almost dehumanizes people, don't you think? I mean, these victims were somebody's relatives. Hopefully more details will come out in future articles. The news media cares more about being the first to report a story instead of sticking around to find out the details. I know I am rambling here. But all this gun violence is too much. +I don't understand why there is so much hate. It's like every one lives in their own little bubble seeing everything foreign to them as a threat. They take up selfish ideology because they don't like something, instead of just disassociating with it. This greatly saddens me, for I have seen the world in all it's wonder. Where the majority of people just want to live in peace, without boundaries. Yet this idea of cultural heritage has become disastrous further dividing people. If only more people could set aside their petty ideals, and just accept each other as other humans. Instead we classify and further separate ourselves due to every difference. I would prefer to just die, than put up with such cruel disgusting people. I am disgusted with my country of Americans. We deserve to burn.... +I feel that we are prioritizing efforts of saving the planet in the wrong way. We want to ban this or that, and that's great and all. However, we are missing the bigger picture. We need to focus on building a world that co exists with nature, instead of just saving little bits of it here and there. While some strive to save this or that, there are a million other things destroying it further. We need to end the destruction of our global ecosystem, and not pick and choose species to save. Other wise there will be nothing left, and those efforts would have been in vein. +If people are concerned about others to where they feel fear. They need to leave the situation entirely. No working things out, no seeing what happens. If you feel threatened, LEAVE! The problem is most people think they can't just drop everything. But it's mostly because they either don't know how, or don't want to live any other lesser lifestyle than they are accustomed to. Kids run away all the time from home with no skills, or means to get by. Many of them end up making it out ok. Some don't, but it's usually due to making the wrong choices. Taking the easy way out. We are free to make our own choices, and live the life we can live. So why would any one ever put up with feeling threatened, when they can just leave, and disappear. Even if you have no where to go, you can always die. +So I just read an article where 2 friends went diving to a place they shouldnt have and ended up dying. While they were using brand new equipment, I feel like idiots who take stupid risks and go to places where no humans should be, kind of deserve what ends up happening to them. If you dont sky dive, you never have to worry about going splat when your chute doesnt open +It would appear to me, in my opinion, the liberal, nonsensical, mainstream media is at it again. Let's use fear-mongering and misinformation to stir up a demographic in our all out effort against Donald Trump. I feel for those who don't read the actual proposals and/or legislation but instead decide to believe every word uttered by the talking head on TV. +Guys, please read this. This issue needs to be seen by more of us and acknowledged as something that happens more than we realize. Is this something we can change or work on as a community? Please help me think of ways we can work on making this a nonissue in the future for the next generation. This is our kids and grandkids future we are thinking of. +This shows how the current political environment is effecting people, especially younger people, emotionally. The stress and fear that is being shown from the younger generation is mostly to blame on social media. We used to be able to discuss political issues in person, calmly. Now, if you try to mention your opinion on social media, you run the risk of being attacked or insulted, simply adding to the fear of the current political situations. +Hey everyone, please share this! She appears to be in her late 60s or early 70s, 6'0", 175lbs, with gray hair. This could easily be someone's grandmother or mom, a family could be worried sick about her. Her outfit sounds like she may of been in some sort of retirement home or something similar. I know if this was my grandmother I could want to know so I could help her get home, so please share this within the area so we can maybe get her back to her home and family. +The Somali peope are suffering greatly. I feel so bad for what they have had to go through over the past while. Donald Trump doesn't have enough mercy or understanding for what they are going through. The United States may offer some help, but not nearly enough. They will be in poverty likely their entire lives, and it is just not fair. There must be a way to test to see if they are dangerous, and if not they should be welcomed into our country. +Kisii is a real tragedy. Many people are dead, and more people are severely injured. The drilling is likely what caused it, and the developer should be held responsible. He has caused much pain and suffering. Kenyans deserve better, and since he didn't listen to NCA warnings, he should pay for what he did. The other buildings in the area should be thoroughly tested to see if anything can be done to prevent this. +Rhinos are going extinct, and it s a real shame since they do nothing to harm human life. They are a majestic creature with much to offer. However, they are being killed because of poachers and their horn. The black rhino is almost extinct. Only about five thousand still exist in the world today, and this is a real shame. +It's upsetting that species are dying out, sometimes before we even know they exist. I wonder if there are ways we can use science to bring them back, if they even survive if we do. We need to take better care of the environment. It's worrying that as these species die out, someday ours might as well. +Ugh, another example of crappy cops. They think they can get anyway with anything. I've started to pull out my phone camera whenever I see the cops talking to someone, especially if they are a minority. Police brutality is such a problem in our country and it's just so deeply ingrained in the system, I'm not sure what can be done. We need some kind of overhaul of the criminal justice system. +I just cannot even imagine something like that happening. What makes someone do such a horrible thing? And especially when there were children on board? Such a senseless act. How scared those individuals and the victim must have been when that was happening. It is a good thing that that guy was there to help the passengers get off the bus. A tragic event would have been even more tragic had he not been there to save those people. I feel bad because those individuals (including the guy who saved the passengers) are all now scarred for life and their lives will never be the same. Their lives have been turned upside down because of someone else's senseless act and are forever traumatized by it. I hope those victims get the support they need and I hope that the driver's family receives support +This makes me feel nothing. I don't care about this. I don't see why I have to care about this. Bad things like this happen all the time and they have no affect on me. I have too many problems of my own to have to worry about more things like this. Thinking about this kind of stuff just adds to my stress. +The only solution for the "wage gap" is the total abolishment of capitalism and all governments. There will be no more wage gap when there is no money! By instituting Anarcho-Communism, all people can be given what they need without a worry of who is getting more or less. Capitalism is evil and must be destroyed! +This was a somewhat interesting article about the frequency of eye injuries in sports for children. They really could have used more data in the article but interesting all the same. The only real gripe I had was somehow playing with airsoft guns around the house are counted as sports related injuries so the data doesn't seem that reliable. +It's such a shame the man had to shoot the dog. Labradors in general are decent dogs and not know to attack people for no reason. He could have shot into the ground or into the air to scare the dog off. I feel bad for the lady that lost her dog but this is why you keep your dogs on leashes. If she hadn't let the dog off the leash this probably would not have happened. It's a terrible and unfortunate situation all around and I hope I never find myself with the same problem. I'm gonna go play with my dog now and be grateful. +It is very difficult for me to imagine how any person could leave a baby in a shoe box. I just don't understand how you could even leave a baby alone. Thank God the baby was in good health, at least whoever left the poor thing seems to have taken good care of it other than leaving it in a shoe box. Maybe in the end this will turn out to be a good thing for this baby, one can only hope. +Those poor officers. Like in any group of people, there are good and bad ones. In this society the tendency to demonize everyone for the actions of a few sets a very dangerous precedent and things like this can happen. Every person should be judged on their own merits. Saying all cops are bad because of what a few have done is so insane and the public outrage leads to things like this. I don't know for sure what this person's motivations were but there have been enough instances that some don't see law enforcement as people anymore and it makes their job so much more dangerous and we need good cops to do their jobs to keep us safe. +Remembering those who have lost their lives due to violence is so important. Do you remember what happened in Paris in 2015? I am so grateful that the people there set aside a special time to remember all the victims and their families. Such a senseless loss. People just wanting to enjoy some entertainment were met with a horrific experience and families were forced to wait in pain to hear news of the outcome. I am sure they will never forget that day. I do hope each day gets easier for them and that they remember the good memories of their loved ones. +I just read a very upsetting article about a recent incident involving U.S. troops in Jordan and I wanted to share it with you. There were three U.S. military trainers killed in gunfire by security units at Jordan base, fatally shot by security forces Friday when their vehicle failed to stop at the gate of a military base. I have no idea why the driver did not stop at the gate, which is certainly protocol. They have had serious problems in Jordan recently due to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees crossing their border. Jordan is and has been a significant U.S. ally in the war against ISIS and I can only hope that this incident is isolated and not part of a bigger problem. God bless the families of the deceased soldiers! +I just read an article about tour boat that capsized because of the boat operator. It was horrific reading the statements of the survivors. It brought chill to my bone when they wrote many situations that could of ended their lives. Just imagining what I would of done in that situation makes me feel troubled because I cant really swim in open water. All the survivors are now suing the company for injuries, recklessness, neglect, and trauma. Pretty crazy how one event can change the outcome of life or death. +Another article I read showing a death of African American driver by a police. I really upset me reading this article. That unnecessary force was used to handle the situation. Its crazy that the first thing on the police mind is to shoot to kill. I feel uneasy every time seeing and reading about situation like this where a situation could of been handled in a different way. Understandable that they work in a high intense environment but that why they train and follow protocol. +Have you ever heard of sudden oak death ? Over 66 million trees have just vanished since 2010 . bacteria is spread through the water . This is a scary thought where are we going to be at in the next 5 years? I think that we need to take note and start worrying about our planet this is not a good sign at all . +I really hate ISIS. They are the scum of the earth. I just learned that they killed over 100 Iraqi police officers in Mosul. This is the kind of thing that happens when we pull our troops out of Iraq. Yeah we should not have been there in the first place but we made that mistake and we now have to take responsibilty for it. I feel so bad for all the Iraqi people who just want to live their lives in peace. +I am shocked and saddened by this earthquake. What a sad and terrible tragedy. I feel so sorry for all the victims and those affected by this event. I can't even imagine how devastating this must be for them. What an incredible catastrophe. My thoughts and prayers and best wishes go out for all the many people affected by this tragic catastrophe. I hope that everyone stays safe for the foreseeable future. I am still in shock. +I feel really concerned that they have no idea who committed this crime. I wonder if there's more to this story. I wonder what the conditions were that led up to this event. I hope the victims will make a full recovery and that they catch this horrible person! My thoughts are with them and their families! +After reading this article it seem like a nightmare is becoming a reality. Today drug user, especially opiod user, are taking there drugs in front of their children. It seems like the drug user are tired of taking their drugs and having people around them disagree with their habits. Its really a shame that parent are doing these drugs in front of their kids. +Colonialism is a ugly part of American history, but it's one that we shouldn't forget. We can't undo the damage that we've done, but we can teach future generations our mistakes, and hope that they do not repeat them. A formal apology is the very least the Canadian government can do, and it is admirable. +It's unfortunate what happened. If I was a politican I'd say my heart and prayers go out to the victims affected, but honestly? It's hard to feel much sympathy for people so far away. I find the governments efforts to house and protect the affected civillians admirable. We have federal agencies devoted to disaster relief in the US, but we only go so far in helping people. +How can Canada think that was the right course of action? Of course we are no better with how we treated the Native Americans. These poor kids are ripped from their homes and subjected to such horrors because of who they are. It is sickening. It is as if we have no respect for the past. Who cares if they didn't speak the language or assimilate into "normal culture". Is that any reason to destroy their lives? No apology could ever fix what was done. So many children died, just because they were born into the "wrong" culture. This mentality, unfortunately, isn't isolated or gone from planet. We are destroying the identity of people who for the most part probably just wanted to live and die without interfering with the "new" culture. Is it so wrong to be different? +The spread of cholera is very widespread in Haiti. It is costing tons of lives, and money food and doctors are very much needed. Its hard to control like any other high spreading disease. Doctors need resources so much that they cant keep up with ever growing number of patients. They need food, medical supplies, and other miscellaneous equipment that would help them improve their job and combating the outbreak. +People and government and climate groups are scared President Trumps cabinet would push climate control policies back. He might put the states out of the Paris Treaty, and build more Coal factories that might emit more toxic fumes into the air and expand global warming. And in regards to other countries they might agree with it to as well, putting our earths climate at a dangerous risk. This might other protocols as well such as the Kyoto protocol +Hey, Josh have you seen this? World currencies are going to be taking a hit, I just wanted to let you know. The complete misunderstanding of how to run something as simple as a bank multiplied by thousands around the country of India is bringing that country to its knees. We see this happen all the time where markets are controlled by the government and something stagnates then we add more controls and now we have a depression. +Wow. That is really sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder why his friend would kill him. Must not have been friends after all, huh?????? I wonder how long the body had been there before he was found. Money was probably the motive since it usually is. He probably got over on him somehow and dude got his revenge. Oh well....... +Just read a short article about the Kim Kardashian robbery. Pretty scary for her, and the robbers kept demanding money. There were language/communication issues between her and the robbers, she thought they wanted her jewelry, and they wanted her money. I hope that she gets better security in place so that this never happens again. The article mentioned her providing information about her expensive diamond ring on Facebook - I think there's a lesson to be learned about that. +I feel so sorry for these people trying to flee their current situation. These crossings need to be safer for these people. All of these people drown and for what? A chance at freedom, a chance to get away from what they fear, and I feel like these people need to be helped and find a way to get them across safely. +I just read a troubling little snippet about a family who lost their home in Washington D.C. They haven't yet identified the cause of the blaze, but a family of five ha not only been displaced, but they also lost two cats which I'm sure were very dear to them. I'm glad to hear that the Red Cross has stepped in to lend aid to this needy family. +I know we have been talking about climate change, my friend. I read a news article that continues to build upon the foundational knowledge that we have speculated upon. As it turns out, a mere one degree Celsius change can have major impacts on the ecosystem. It affects genes and ranges in species. More than eighty percent of ecosystems are being put under stress. It makes me sad because we don't know the long-standing implications in the largest perspective. Every single day we can make choices to help negate the bad choices our species makes towards our environment. +It is so unfortunate that people are being attacked because of their religion. A lot of Christians in Mosul were ordered to convert away from their beliefs or suffer heavy consequences. This is not a choice most people want to make, let alone be forced to flee their homes. Churches, homes, and streets were not safe. Many people have considered fleeing over returning. However, the human spirit is strong. We all face adversity. Some are brave enough to face the terror and harassment they experienced to rebuild their lives. +I just read about the arrest of the women from that National Geographic magazine. You know, the one with the striking green eyes. She's in her 40s now, and she was just arrested for staying illegally in Pakistan. If worst comes to worst, she could be put in jail for 14 years or deported back to the place she was trying to escape. It breaks my heart to see refugees who are just looking for a safe place to live being at risk for deportation. +Poor sad polar bear! They need to move him now. If they are going to take polar bears and other animals out of their natural habitats, then they better make sure that the place they keep them in is at the right standard for those animals. They need to move that polar bear as soon as possible so that it has a chance at happiness. +I'm not so sure that there is any right in this situation, of course it was wrong what he did and he could have handled this another way. He did what he did for his own reasons and he can't take that back and he definitely does not feel sorry for what he did. Was it so serious just because he is the mayor and would it not been so serious if he wasn't a mayor? Could he have done something better with the money? Absolutely, so he isn't wrong when he says the money should have been used for other things, but throwing a pie in someones face probably isn't the best way to show it +Jeez, who would have thought that those little guys could wreak such environmental disaster. But this is a classic example of people who think their one indiscretion (dumping the fish in the river) is harmless. Much like someone who starts a forest fire, we should have laws making the person responsible liable for the cost of cleaning up the mess. Not that we'd ever catch them. +Here we go again. Another news report of another earthquake in Chile. Fortunately this one apparently didn't cause any damage, but it was no slouch either at a magnitude 6.4. Had the earthquake struck in a little different location, who know what might have happened. This is the same place that got hit with an 8.8 a couple years ago. Remember that one? That was so sad. It triggered a tsunami and 500 people were killed. Not to mention the fact that there were 220,000 homes lost. One piece of good news at least, since the 8.8 earthquake, they have put in a warning system for earthquakes and tsunamis. Thank God for that. That certainly can't prevent any earthquakes from happening, but at least maybe it will save some lives if, or should I say "when", the next earthquake occurs. +Things seem to be quite bad in Yemen. I can't believe is not only the United States conducting drone operations or military operations for that matter in Yemen. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are also in it. Things must be very bad overthere. I have little background about the issue in Yemen, I wonder what it is that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have to gain hehre? +This really sucks for the children and the families affected. They could sue the developers, but no amount of money is going to compensate them for the health issues these kids are going to experience due to lead poisoning. The worst thing about this is, if it were a wealthy white neighbourhood adjacent to the industrial site they wanted to demolish, you know they would have taken every precaution to test to see if there was any chance of releasing toxic amounts of lead into the vicinity. But it's a poor black neighbourhood, so of course they aren't as careful. +Hey you, I found more information about that woman who overdosed in the car with her infant. It is just horrible. From what I am reading it happened in Indiana and she had a syringe in her hand. Her poor baby was only 10 months old. How sad. They were parked outside of a Dollar General when thankfully someone noticed and called 911. The grandmother got guardianship over the baby, thank goodness. The women got booked on neglect and possession, hopefully she stays in there for awhile. +Those poor boys. They never asked for any of this. Their father be a died beat dad and kill them. What a completely asshole to scared jerk. The boys were so young and helpless with a dead beat dad. The man should of just killed himself and left those 2 boys out of it. What did he accomplish by killing his sons? I have no words to describe how much pain those 2 little ones were probably in. Its ashame when kids have to take fault for thier parents misfortunes. And that mother. The heart ache she will have to face of losing not only 1 son but 2. I cannot imagine the sorrow that woukd cause. +I am a firm believer of inoccent till proven guilty. But come on. There are multiple accounts with several different wome. That are coming forward towards this guy. This man needs taking off of the streets and put in jail. The things he did to multiple women is disgusting. I feel bad for these women who did not come forward in the beginning. Whether they were scared for their lives or just ashamed. It seems like alec could get a girl but just took things to far and to the next level. It ashame that a successful young man does something like this and ruins his entire life. Over sex. +Nothing is ever compatable to the support of people who are willingly happy to show their support and love to Trump. Although sometimes it is hard to think how impossible it is to agree with what Trump's want for the country. Supporting this kind of big event is always remarkable and will always be remembered by people. +This must be terrifying to have people come into your town, drag you from your home, and to watch while those you love are taken or shot, really it must be unbearable, even as you endure it. We get upset when we hear news of one or two people being kidnapped or suffering this kind of trauma, yet here we're talking about much more. It must be heartbreaking for them. +I think its so scary that there have been shark attacks in Australia's beaches. I wouldn't want to be a surfer there knowing that anytime my life could be in danger since you don't know what your surfing under whether its a huge shark preying on you waiting to strike and make you his fresh meal. I am always cautious when I'm in the water since people don't realize there are so many dangers deciding to get into the water. +Did you see this article about the protest in MI? It's so crazy how divisive the country has become over the election and how president tump's doing. What used to be considered rare and unacceptable seems now to become the norm, since all the crazy things trump says and does. Throwing a firecracker into a crowd? Who does that and think's its acceptable? People these days are getting very crazy. +Z did you hear?? Kate beckinsale and len wiseman broke up!!!! I can't believe it. What happened? I'm distraught. At least they don't have any kids so they don't have to put them through that whole thing about divorce. But I mean come on, she can barely even wait to get back out there, WITHOUT her wedding ring??? Jeeze. Sad. +Firstly let me say that she was NOT asking for it just by wearing expensive jewelry. The same people who believe that are those who believe women are ASKING to be assaulted just by wearing provocative clothes; disGUSTING. Secondly, let me just say that I respect Khloe for expressing her love and not being afraid of all the HATERS out there. Respect. +I didnt even bother reading this. I skimmed it. It's a meaningless bore. Why Im writing you to tell you this is beyond me, but my masters here believe it will be revealing in some way. And Im nothing if not a slave to my masters. So I write. To you, my friends. I hope you will find more meaningful things to read and do than this kind of crap. +Unbelievable! I just read an very disturbing article about a 23 year old male teacher charged with multiple counts of child pornography that was taking place at the school he teached in. He managed to get away with this crime for a very long time as he lured hundreds of children into his scheme before finally getting busted. It really pisses me off that scum bags like this are allowed near our children and I hope he gets a max sentence! +Seems like so many tragic accidents have been happening lately. I just read another article about the tragic death of a father son that took place during a hike. The both of them fell off a cliff and died recently while exploring the outdoors. There was an attempt made to recover their bodies but the exact cause was not specified. Poor souls. I pray that their family may be given strength as they discover the tragedy. +I just read an article about how the CO2 levels are high this year and they might not lower for generations to come. That is so sad for our children and grandchildren. I feel like instances such as this can cause health issues. Not only am I concerned about myself but Im concerned about my children and future grandchildren. +It’s a sad day when young kids are killing themselves. They act on impulse and do not realize that their actions have lasting consequences. If someone was just their to listen to these kids a lot of this probably wouldn’t be happening. Its just so sad especially for the parents and grandparents but also for the whole family. +What a disaster...I can't believe their course of action is to do nothing too. I can't even imagine how this is going to affect the local wildlife. They should be funding environmental groups to help the local animals in any way possible. This is going to have far reaching consequences too, as the poisoned fish and birds will affect other species and they'll end up effecting us as well. I wish there was some way to avoid these terrible accidents. +Better go stock up on coconut products. It seems coconuts are in danger due to some bacteria wiping out coconut trees in the Caribbean. Many fear it will spread to other coconut producing countries. The techno people are trying to breed some kind of cure. They are using gene banks to come up with a solution but costs are prohibitive. There’s an International Coconut Genetic Resources Network or COGENT that’s getting some funding but even it’s in trouble financially. They are looking for coconut product users and big companies to help out. Have a heart, save the coconut trees! +Hello friend, have you read this article? I think you should, it's quite interesting if I do say so myself. It is about a Representative named Darrell Issa, he is a Republican and has a Southern California seat. How great would it be, to see this massively bad man lose? Hopefully, Issa may well quote Mercutio on November 8th: “...ask for me to-morrow and you shall find me a grave man.” +Why are they prescribing things like that to such young kids? That's so insane. Benzodiazepines, especially, shouldn't be prescribed in general, in my opinion. Doctors are overly calm about the things they prescribe to people, people that young shouldn't be subjected to that, and the death tolls aren't surprising. +A lot of us not just veterans are losing sleep. I believe its because of deppression. We aren't happy and its because of money. Humans are always working they have no life. Work is not life. Some people don't get to spend time with there kids or family. They cant even have time for themselves. There worried about work, what time they have to get up, or what they will eat because they don't have time to cook. So we eat unhealthy thing that can lead to depression. Not getting enough sleep or the right nutrients lead to sicknesses. Theres people who don't have enough time to see a doctor. Our lifestyle is the reason we're not getting enough sleep. People put way to much on there plate just so they can have money. Everything is about money. +It is very sad to know Robert died. He was a great actor. You never now when your time is going to come. I get very worried of my own health. There are so many sicknesses and diseases. I tried to get checked annually at the doctors. I hope they come out with a cure for these diseases and sicknesses. I feel like Robert did live kind of a long life. Robert has made good memories and I think that is very important when living . I want to make a lot of good memories now that I'm alive. Everyones life should have meaning just like Robert's. +I have a real hard time with this article. My husband is a US Army soldier that fought to take over Mosul the first time at the cost of many lives. And through incompetent measures in our government and military, we let go of Mosul and are again trying to figure out a way to take it back. It makes me sad that there are people being oppressed in the world but it is also clear to me that at what cost do we fight the oppressors and pick a whose side to be on. Maybe we should worry about ourselves stateside and stay out of the mess in the middle east. +While this seems like good news that there are fewer and fewer cases of Zika I would be lying if I said it wasn't still alarming. It seems very strange that such a huge virus with a widespread development and all of the media attention is now just a minor issue. It's either hiding somewhere are there's worse on the way. Or it could have all just been media hype to sell TV. Hard to say but suspicious all the same. +Hey friend, Can you believe just how crazy this is getting over in the middle east? My heart weeps so much for the families and just the innocent bystanders that have to deal with this. Imagine if your home was getting bombed and who knew where you would get your food next. I can't imagine the pain that they go through on a daily basis meanwhile I can go get any kind of food I want or drinks or whatever. Not a worry in the world for me, meanwhile these people are being bombed and just all around treated like cattle. We need peace! +Dear god friend, Let me tell you, this is just disgusting. Poor animals. We continue to damage the environment and this tug boat company just says oh my apologies and thanks for cleaning up my mess. After they destroyed ecological habitats and caused damage to almost extinct species. The company should be fined millions of dollars and be in some serious deep water no pun intended. I know you agree man. I hate to see animals hurt and just the negligence is enough to make me want to go out there myself. WE need to take care of this planet for once effectively and I know you agree with me. +I can't believe Wells Fargo would do this in such a unprofessional manner. Repossessing vehicles without going through the proper procedures. Especially screwing over people who protect our country. I hope their fines were huge. They are going to have to do a lot of changing if they want to get the trust of their customers back. I for one never plan on using them. +That was the strangest article I've ever read - I'm not sure why I read it. Was it an error? Art/? It just said something like "article title - article - article source - date." I'm not sure how to emotionally react to such a thing since it had no emotional content whatsoever, no biographical content, no factual content, no real content at all. Seriously, I believe there is a malfunction in the survey. +I really don't know anything about Keisha. The only thing I know is her music. I don't know how the music business works. I don't know if this is true. It seems like if she really wanted to she could have taken more control. It was her choice whether or not she ate or not. She let them take control. there is always a choice. +Of course I only know what I read in the article. It sounds like it could be the ex police officer was trying to protect himself. The son was already arrested for assaulted the father. I believe the police will investigate the shooting and take the necessary actions. I don't think the police will look the other way just because he is an ex police officer. +I just read this article about a haze that was responsible for killing 100,000 people. Can you believe that!? The haze was caused by fires used to clear rain forest, if I remember correctly. I mean could you imagine that happening here. It is unfathomable. I know we have our wildfires but very few people die to them. Imagine what people are going through. +Hey bud, Check this news out. Apparently a couple was on a cruise ship and the husband fell off the ship unintentionally. After reading the whole article, I believe that the other husband has the right to sue the authorities for not saving the his husband after he fell off. In any case, whether the person was guilty of previous crimes, he or she should be saved or this would have been seen as sketchy work by the police officers. \ No newline at end of file diff --git

I can't even imagine what that family is going through. The ones that were involved in the accident but survived probably saw some horrible things, and those kids who witnessed their mother die. As a parent myself that's a terrifying thought I would never want my son to go through something like that. +For days, a hazy pall has spread across much of northern Georgia, including metro Atlanta, home to 5.7 million people. State officials warned that the air is unhealthy, and cautioned people with breathing problems to stay indoors as much as possible. With state firefighters scrambling to quench the blazes currently active, officials told people to avoid starting new fires that could quickly spread. “We’re a cigar butt away from a disaster,” said John Williams, adventure guide at Amicalola Falls, a state park near the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia +It's horrifying to see a dog subjected to such a cruel fate. This brings attention to the numerous other cases of fatalism that could've been prevented by careful inspection and care for one's pets. Dogs deserve better from us, and it's our obligation as human beings to provide care for animals as much as possible. +A two year old in Willoughby Hills East of the Cleveland area fell from his eleven story apartment building. His parents were in the living room and had no idea that this had taken place. There neighbors had found the child motionless on the ground and presumably dead. The police are treating this as a pure accident and don't anticipate any further charges. +This will not end well. People have to improve their own country. Taking a shortcut by moving to a better country will just result in the host country suffering. The best citizens will work hard to improve their country. They will not give up and leave. Lots of blood was shed in many of the countries that migrants seek to live in. +Despite our best efforts, it really is nearly impossible to keep our children and families from the cruel nature of the world. Even something like a vacation to another country or a trip to watch fireworks can result in tragedy that leaves everlasting scars. This is a world we want to avoid, but find ourselves surrounded by almost always. +Why are there so many issues between the middle eastern countries and the United States? There needs to be world peace and each nation should stop trying to be the powerful dog here. I wish everyone could just get along and we wouldn't have to waste so much time with these political affairs. So many people lost lives over nonsense. +Did you know that Climate Change Threatens the World’s Coffee Supply?? A report I read about a report says thinking of the many ways climate change threatens coffee and coffee farmers has alarmed people who are now imagining what it would be like getting through the day without their caffeine fix! Well, it certainly is concerning to me! The report, released this month, was commissioned by Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand supposedly the hub of the global Fairtrade system. I guess it doesn’t contain much new research, but still it has made waves by collating an array of available literature suggesting that climate change will have a major effect on the world’s coffee supply. Well, knowing how you love your coffee just as much as I do, I just knew this would fascinate you! Tell everyone!! +A perfect example of greed and selfishness-British government is willing to kill innocent creatures in order to drill for oil, regardless of consequences! Instead of exploring other alternatives, such as natural energy sources, they will go and march their way to Africa and claim innocent lives just to put money in their pockets. I wonder if the majesty Queen, the mighty Queen of England, would appreciate of someone suddenly marched into her palace and started drilling for oil?!!! Absolutely disturbing-total disregard for nature and living creatures, nothing but pure greed regardless of the cost! +This article I just read was so, unbelievably sad and tragic. This incident is so horrible. Such a gruesome death. I can't imagine being that two year old and falling for so long. Ugh, it makes me so upset. I feel so bad for the parents, they must feel so guilty. It would be so hard to overcome everything. +This kind of stuff is definitely very political because it shows how corrupt the Venezuelan government is very corrupt. I get that every country has their own issues, but what happened here is absolutely ridiculous! Wouldn't want to live here at all. You guys should check this out whenever you get a chance. +Can you believe how people are acting over this? They are acting like a bunch of rabid animals. This is not how you protest. Going around acting violent and destroying things does not solve anything. This is chaos. There is no excuse for this type of behavior just because you don't agree with an election. +I guess people don't realize how much of an impact they can have. The article says if people would have done something they could have stopped the extinction of the animals. But at the same time, it is people's action indirectly that caused the extinction, through contributing to climate change. There is so much that can go out of balance in nature when people are involved. When one species dies off, then everything in that ecosystem changes. I guess the article was kind of interesting. But what is the solution the problem they are talking about? How should people intervene to save those animals? +Death to the police! There is no member of the police that is your friend, even those who are no longer on the force. Only someone who fully recants their position as a police officer and demonstrates tangible remorse about their actions can be accepted. All police are evil, because the police naturally attract people who would abuse their powers. +so three missiles get shot up in the air randomly like if this were to be a daily routine. nobody was going to do anything about it. the craziest part about it is reading about the father who the article states that jokingly told his family to forgive him if he did not return home that night. that man did not return home that i find insane. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading a very interesting and somewhat disturbing article. It was about Thomas Arthur, an inmate on death row in Alabama. There began a massive legal battle between the courts, justices, and lawyers about the legality and morality of lethal injection practices. I feel conflicted because on one hand, these people committed unthinkable crimes and deserve severe punishment, but on the other hand, taking a life may still not be justifiable. +Hey hun! I was just reading this article about a family of 3 young black boys who went through foster care and ended up in prison later on in life, and it made me want to share it with you. It breaks my heart knowing this probably happens all the time in our country! That there are kids who, through no fault of their own, are set on a path that ultimately leads to their downfall and punishment later in life! There need to be changes made to the foster system so that there are more homes available and counselling for these kids so that they can learn at an early age to deal with the things they are going through instead of internalizing it all and becoming angry and bitter. What do you think? Maybe we could write some letters to get people thinking about this situation! +It's nice that these cases are critiqued so thoroughly as once an execution has started, there's no going back. It sounds like he shot his relative for sure though. Even though he maybe didn't kill the husband of the woman he had an affair with, one murder should potentially be enough for the death penalty. +The fact that this article shows the global gender gap not being equal until 2196 is particularly disturbing. And, I wonder why women have dropped out of the workforce globally? I mean, I did drop out but only after 30 years of employment. It seems as if, in this day and age, you'd hear that women's participation in the workforce had increased, not decreased. +I just read the article and i want to say i think its terrible anyone would actually blame the doctors for someone committing suicide. Of course its incredibly sad and i feel for anyone that has to go through what people like that do go through but how can these doctors be blamed. That means that anyone can be blamed for missing the signs and its too hard to tell when someone will actually commit to killing themselves even when they are making empty threats. +I always wonder whether to believe articles like this. I have always liked Mayweather, and I feel there are probably two sides to this story. Besides, the lawsuit is filed but there is no verdict yet, so Mayweather could be innocent. Anyone can file a lawsuit and the only proof of who is right is when the suit is decided. I will be interested to follow the outcome of this one. +Aww, I hope this story isn't really true. I mean do people still go to see elephants perform anywhere? And people have been so much more vocal and worried about animals for quite a long time, I just have trouble believing that this story is true. I hope not. Plus, do elephants really live that long? +This is a completely unacceptable situation. Our military bombs a Doctors Without Borders medical facility and they have the gall to point their fingers at those who were bombed. And the only restitution they offer is a promise to keep bombing and carrying on just like they were until the mission is completed. Revolting. +I'm sorry to hear that about Dakota's parents. Even when you are adult it must be hard to see your parents splitting up. No one wants that to happen and it's unfortunate that her parents couldn't work it out. I hope they are able to still remain civil around the kids and family. Just because it didn't work romantically doesn't mean it won't work at all. +This is a really interesting article about primates. It just talks about some of the things this certain species of primate does as they get older. They tend to adjust their position so they can see things better as they age. The younger bonobos sit close to their partner when they groom but the older ones sit ridiculously far away. I wouldn't even think their arms could reach when I read the distance was over a foot. +These actresses and actors have tons of money. If they really wanted to do the right thing, they certainly could, for their only son. They are just selfish people, wanting what they want and unwilling to compromise with each other. Most actors and actresses are like that. They are so self-centered. I can’t stand people like that. I feel sorry for the poor kid. Although he will probably grow up to be a self-absorbed, selfish brat, just like his parents. I swear that I think the less people have, the better off they treat their children and their families. I have no sympathy for people like these rich snobby people. They probably have their own jets, tons of money. Yet, they still can’t compromise. I wish people like this would get a grip and I wish the media would stop reporting +Hey, I just read an article written by a snowflake that is melting under manmade "global warming". One thing I have never understood is how the communist party took over the environmental movement without a shot. Remember when we found out the founder of 'GreenPeace' left after discovering the flood of communist and socialist coming into academia and the organization he started? I wish someone would actually do some research instead of repeating the same old stuff. +The war that involved India and Pakistan is terrible. There are so many innocent civilian me were killed. The world needs peace and it is hard to imagine that a lot of people in 21st centery are still suffering from wars. We should really cherish that we live in the US and far from what happened there. +Hey dude did you see that article that come out about police torture in chicago? It's pretty crazy and damning - it's one thing to know this kinda thing has been going on but its another thing to see all of these actual documents talk about willingly torturing people AND that it's still going on today. How disgusting. +Trump's handling of Mexico has been atrocious. While illegal immigration may have fallen, it's no reason to treat such a big trading partner like a second class world citizen by telling them they have to pay for a wall. A wall which would be completely useless as far as keeping people out, because there are such things as shovels and boats. It's just completely absurd. +Everything from the smoking dangers posed to children, to the epidemic of rats and their waste products, to even refugee crises surrounding Greece - are all problematic situations. These situations have to each be approached from a different perspective, and because of this - they require a more focused and specialized touch. +With the ever-growing lack of medical clinics and equipment in 3rd world countries, more outbreaks will eventually start and can affect millions of people. This article for example, showed that cholera outbreak in Haiti, Millions has been affected and people are dying but we don't have the resources to help them. +Just wanting to let you know about a news story I came across. It is about an elephant, named Nosey. He is been owned by a guy and held in chains. He used Nosey to perform for public entertainment in circuses and forced for most of her life to give rides to adults and children across the United States. Oh, and she has been in solitary for almost 30 years, that is a lifetime. Being captive for such a long period caused major stress to her health as well as to her psychological well being. The owner has been cited numerous times but in the same time his license was still approved for renewal each year. There should be awareness for this abuse to stop. +The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is not dead, apparently, after all! While the reef is mostly destroyed, it has sections that are coming back to life, and it can be stimulated back to recovery despite a 2016 article proclaiming that it had suffered its death stroke. Did you know it can be seen from outer space? How magnificent! We should do what we can to preserve it, even if it is a losing cause because it is a true wonder of nature. I know that contradicts what I told you earlier about not trying to save species, but hey, whoever said consistency was my greatest attribute? +I was saddened to hear of a Chinese military fighter pilot who was killed in a training exercise recently. It's unclear what the cause of the crash was, but it's certainly a tragedy to all involved regardless. It's horrifying to think of the time and training that someone like that would put in to learning to pilot the aircraft and to think that it wouldn't be enough to keep her safe. +I think China has a real problem with safety standards and that's why they have so many accidents in their various industries. It's really sad that they place economic growth over human lives. If they did implement safety standards, they wouldn't lose so many lives or potential workers and people that care for children. +Unfortunately, I have a yahoo email account and of course I am worried about my information being stolen. Fortunately for me though, I never really used that information for personal reasons, i mainly used it for a junk email, so there would be no real important information that one could steal from me. But this also makes me worried that any other email sites, like gmail, hotmail etc could just as easy be hacked. +Again it's all about the money. Corporate America strikes again. They leech as much money from the working class as possible as they sit in their office, finger banging their secretary. When their lies and misdirection is revealed, some fat cat takes the blame (along with millions of dollars of hush money, and the working class is thrown to the wolves and blamed for most of the misdeeds. +Class differences influence and varies how a parent raises their child. Middle-class parents raise their child through the use of feelings and lower-class parents raise their children through behavior control. Middle-class parents and lower-class parents raise their children to be like them feeling and behavioral wise. Middle-class children get reprimanded for feeling the wrong way and lower-class children are punished for behaving badly +I read an article about how a man killed himself after killing his wife. It sounded like the man really had some problems. I dont understand how you could kill someone that you say you love. The article said he "hacked his wife to death". That sure sounds rather violent. The woman was rushed to the hospital all bloody and the man was in a coma. The hospital confirmed that the woman had passed. +We need to be more responsible with our wilderness areas! It is alarming that no one wants to talk about how these areas are being destroyed by development and can never be returned to their original wilderness states. Can you imagine a world in which our children can never go camping or hiking in the wilderness because it has all been destroyed and turned into buildings?? +Being able to get out of contracts for timeshares sounds like quite a nightmare. Not being able to get out of such a contract, ESPECIALLY if you've fallen ill is quite possibly the worst case scenario. Furthermore, not being able to afford travel insurance because of it is a terrible time, especially after they have been fighting their contract for a number of years now. +Oh, Yahoo. I wonder what country they're talking about? Probably Russia. It's always Russia nowadays. I'm glad I stopped using Yahoo years ago. I feel vindicated. Not that Google or any of the other services I give information to are immune. It's just that Yahoo has such a bad, ugly, sad interface. And now this. +I didn't realize just how much discord there was going on in Burma. Near total distrust of the local government from segments of the local Muslim population, it's really shocking and concerning to me. The Rohingya apparently aren't even allowed to worship at their mosques, nor are they allowed to go to work to earn a living. It's very concerning to me that I hear a member of the government seemingly unconcerned about how these people are being treated. Enough isn't being done, not nearly enough, by almost all parities involved, to hear some of the stories of what is happening on the ground is really heart breaking. +Apparently there are now a lot of wildfires in the Appalachia area, and it seems people are going to try to spin this into a "climate change" story. It seems that every single negative event can be attributed to climate change. The media doesn't even try to make an argument, it just inserts insinuations. I used to believe that global warming was a deadly threat to humanity, but if you look into things, there are many extremely dubious elements to the "official" story, and now I don't know what to think. Even if the official story is true, it is obvious that the issue is being routinely used for political purposes. And I don't know if it is true. Why has a vast swath of temperature readings been "corrected"? Most people don't even know about this issue. +I'm glad I don't wear contacts, because I'm so lazy with them that I would likely become infected and that would be horrible for my already terrible eyes. I read an article that said that people who leave their contacts in while they sleep are more likely to get an eye infection that can cause blindness. Makes me wish I could fix my vision to perfection again. I hate that I have terrible eyesight and have to rely on primitive glasses or risky contacts. It's not fair and I am very upset about it. Does anyone want to donate their eyes to me? I promise I will take good care of them. If only I could grow new eyes or get badass bionic cyborg eyes that can shoot lasers, then i could defeat the bacteria and be a hero to the human race. Well that's all silly pipedreams. I just have to deal withit +it was a very gruesome moment it doesn't help the fact that refugees face an exhaustive screening process by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees that can take years. it is good that when The federal government and its nonprofit partners provide job-search help and cash assistance for refugees during their first months in the United States. After that, they are largely on their own. This strategy has made it hard for refugee families—who often come to America with few assets or material possessions—to move up and out of poverty, and may be contribute to younger generations’ sense of isolation, the result of struggling to find their place in this country. Now, earning a living in the U.S. is proving difficult for younger generations. Donald Trump’s crusade against immigrants +Friends and family - we need to pray for those people in Taiwan. They have just been hit by yet antoher hurricane. This has left their country in quite the run down state. People are heavily effected in this country and need our thoughts and prayers. We also need to pray for China due to the hurricane heading there next. +The growing back and forth tension between the United States and Russia is really worrisome. One minute it seems like they like us and the next they have nuclear weapons at the ready and pointed straight at the United States. It's scary to think about what could happen especially with the big mouthed president we have. +I'm glad that they finally put an end to this mans killing spree. I'm not sure why he did what he did but he was obviously mentally ill and wasn't taking his medication. I believe friends had to have been helping him hide otherwise I don't know how he could have hidden so long otherwise. Anyways, incidents like this only makes them try to crack down harder on guns and our rights to bear arms, but this person was clearly mentally ill. +Climate change is already evident in all the ecosystems of the earth. the genes of living beings are changing in response to climate changes, affecting ecosystems around the world. the changes that by natural means should take a hundred of decades to occur, takes very few years to complete. This disorder affects the whole relationship of the ecosystems, discouraging them and causing their extinction. +I read that apparently a man in Georgia was accused of deliberately leaving his son in the car to die from the heat. I really hope he gets the death penalty and they leave him in a hot car just like he did to his son. The world is filled with evil people and it was really disturbing to hear this story. +This is really sad! I would think there would be a way to stop this from happening. Everyone knows this is being done, so why couldn't they stop it. The human traffiking is a sad thing and to have them all dying try to get to another place is sad.There must be some kind of policing that could be done wherever the people are boarding these boats. +Feelings are deemed appropriate if they fit the current situation. Since individuals want to fit in and be seen as normal, they are constantly working on their feelings in order to fit the situation. Emotion work is more so how people want to feel or how they want other people to see them feel. Feelings are not permanent, but an ongoing thing because people constantly try to bring up, suppress, or manage feelings +I was with him and mildly supportive of him until I found out about the second shooting. You can't just go shooting everybody who had every treated your daughter wrong. My initial thought was, oh the justice system failed and this guy had it coming. Then after reading about the second incident, I'm starting to feel like this was more a crazy guy on a shooting spree. +Of course they don't see well as they age! They're so much like us, even in the small details of how they stretch their arms to be able to perform their work. Just like my dad when he can't find his glasses and tries to read his magazine. I can't even comprehend why some people won't see how similar animals are to humans - how actually humans are animals. It blows my mind every day. +I just read an article about 500 people being killed in an earthquake. I feel so blessed that I live in a state where I don’t fear earthquakes, or severe tornado warnings, flash floods or major disasters. Of course Vermont has had our issues and weather events that caused damage, however we’re not in a region of the world where we fear for our lives at certain months of the year. I could not imagine being terrified for my children, property, and family like some of these families are. Living through an experience like that, must leave behind emotional scars while growing up. +i could care less what isis does as long its not done in my country. I think they should all be put to death and be done with it. They are a terrorist group and deserve all the bad things that are going to happen to them. I do feel bad for the lose of life and feel sympathy for the families of the officers killed. +It may make me sound horrible, but I'm torn on this. No one should have to suffer like that for the crime of theft, it's barbaric, but if it really was a twenty-something that was part of an armed gang, I'm slightly less sympathetic about their victims retaliating. If it was a child, however, this is insanity and just horrifying. +According to a new study, the polar regions are continuing to melt. In a decade, a lot of the ice melted. This situation is really affecting polar bears because they live in that environment. I found out that they ambush seals as they come up out of the water. Whether we can change this trend or not, I am not sure about but we should try. +It never ceases to amaze me that things like this as still occurring. They want to roll back regulations when things like this happened because there were none and now kids have to pay the price, but they are kids of color so they dont matter. Remember this, Flint still does not have clean water years later. The government is corrupt and the cancer starts in the Oval office and runs through his swamp. Its time to get these people out of office and to punish the companies and people that have allowed this to happened to the innocent children of America. We need more regulations not less. +Hello friend, This article scared me. I can't believe how high suicide rates have become in teens. I understand that young teens are more inclined to act impulsively. One bad day at school can triger a suicide attempt, that's crazy! Schools should do a much better job protecting children from bullying. I know that's impossible to eradicate it, but it schools and parents take the issue seriously enough, we could at least reduce the number of suicides. +We live in a different age where millennials are going to be taking over the community shortly within this decade. First we elected the first african-american president. Now we have Trump, the most controversial president of all. He may change things for better or for worse time will tell. Hopefully he can bring innovation. +Corruption in corporations are an everyday occurrence. And it seems more and more the American workers are the victims of these erroneous fat cats. It's deplorable that the CEO gets away with corporate corruption and when the conscious of the workers come into play, they fire and ruin their lively hood. The corporations are in league with Washington due to the money trails. When the money is taken out of politics things will be better. +Situations like this make you feel so helpless. I mean it's utterly awful but there's nothing you can do about it. Reading about it just feels like needlessly troubling yourself. There's a feeling of guilt too because the whole situation was brought about by the US invading their country and we could've prevented that. +It's really disturbing we have a president that enables all these terrible behaviors we are witnessing unfold before us. I am happy there movements like #Metoo exist to show people that we will not tolerate these kinds of acts. It's like these people never had mothers or sisters. The way they act is beyond comprehension and I hope the media keeps exposing people who have bad intentions. +This is just more of the western world becoming cold and inhospitable. Britain and France are both implicated in the troubles in these countries from their years as colonialists. Turning their back on these people is a mark of shame for them. It's despicable to let these people live in squalor and then to call it a jungle, as if this is 'wild' is kind of sick. The wild would have more respect and be more amenable to these people. +you can't sleep too much or too little. What else is new. I'm sure there will be a high priced drug that can solve this issue. The scientists and government of America couldn't care less about the average citizen. Look at the food supply, look at all of the drugs they want us to take. it's all about money and has nothing to do with concern for our well-being. +I know people tend to get really angry at law enforcement when a shooting or bombing doesn't get prevented, but I feel like it is way too complicated of an issue. I just read and article about it, and for law enforcement to keep enough information and follow enough leads to prevent every attack, we would need to sacrifice a lot of our civil liberties. It is just not worth it. +This is just something better to know. I am not a person who really alert about what is going on around. I never heard about this. I do not really have any comments. Just want today that it is good to find a way to save money. If you could, you can transfer this article's to whose who will find them useful. +That Kirk guy seems like a real loser. How can you lie about your military history and still get to serve as a politician. Than to attack somebody that you don't even know the facts about that person especially when they have made sacrifices for their country. So what if somebody was born somewhere else. If they have put their time and heart into a place that place is their home. +I read an article about the gender gap in the world today. Sadly the US has moved down in the list behind all of the major European countries. I guess the number of women working in senior positions is shrinking. There is also a decline of women in the labor force. But there is evidence that the education gender gap is shrinking, so there are more women educated. It just seems that more women are choosing not to work. +Take a look at this. It's very dry, and I don't understand half the words, but while I was reading it, I was feeling sort of glad that apparently plant and animal species are adapting to the warming climate. It seemed like the planet is warming slowly enough for a lot of ecosystems to adapt. And then I read the last bit, about humans and agriculture, and got cold all over again. Will we adapt, too? I gotta say, at this point, I'm hoping that volcano in Hawaii spews a gazillion tons of ash (after everyone's been evacuated, of course) into the atmosphere to block the sun and cool things down. It may be our best shot. We could only be so lucky. +I am so tired of war. Especially when all it ends in death, murder, rape, etc. What is the point of all that. Who benefits from it? It just makes me sad for all those people. It sure does make me grateful to live in a country where I do not have to deal with all that. Could you imagine waking up every day not knowing if you're going to die or blow up from a bomb? +Thank goodness for PresdientTrump hopefully this means an end to DACA and hopefully immigration reform in the near future! These people have broken the law and are here illegally yet they expect to be treated just like US citizens. DACA is a slap in the face to those immigrants who followed the law and went through the process to become legal citizens. Liberals are not adjusting very well to the defeat of Hillary - they are still crying. +I am so glad that I'm not a celebrity having my every move made public and being analyzed. It would be awful to be under that constant and never ending scrutiny. The thought of being under the constant watchful eye of the world, and them profiting from a me having a bad day makes my stomach turn. I feel bad for him in a way, I've had a few rocky relationships and I couldn't imagine going through them publicly. +That really crazy that a woman would actually push another person on to train tracks based off a disagreement. I get that you guys don't agree with something but that doesn't give you the right to take a persons life. I feel so sorry for the victims family because they lost a valuable family member over some petty dispute that would probably be forgotten the next day. Truly a tragic story that should be a learning situation for anyone with a disagreement with another individual. +I just read this article about a wolf being killed after traveling 700 miles by a government agent . I don't understand it ! There was no reason for it . It hadn't attacked or disturbed anyone so what was the point of it all ? I feel like anymore people just kill animals to kill . This is why one day so these animals will be extinct . I think that it should be against the law to kill any animal that hasn't put you in danger in and way ! This is not ok! This needs to stop ! I am disgusted by it all! +I think this situation will more or less quickly be resolved. It is just a temporary issue and I really believe the gas prices will go back to normal. I don't think there should be too much to worry about. I remember this happened around the crisis here back in 2009 and everything was settled rather quickly. +Women in Iceland protested the pay gap between men and women by arguing that a woman's salary is 30% less than the salary of a man in similar work positions, the women of Iceland decreased their working day 30% of the time daily work and went out to protest united to a square.This was supported by the majority of the community. +This is a dangerous occupation and I wish no one would do it. Some have to feed their families so I understand if it's the only job available. However- the government should make it safe for them. It is unavoidable and it seems it cannot be made safer. My condolences. I wouldn't want my family to work in one. +Just read that due to climate change, hotter than normal temps may be the new normal. In 2013, temps screamed up to 122 F. in Australia, which is frightening. But when you think about who really has the capacity to change this -- which is each individual -- it gets even more frightening. The primary cause of climate change is just too many people, full stop. I do not have much hope that people will stop procreating to save themselves, and this is the biggest tragedy of all. +Why do people hurt harmless animals? It doesn't make sense to me honestly. I look into the eyes of an animal and I can't help thinking that they don't fully understand why we would hurt them either. I think it's so cruel that people do this to animals because they trust us to keep them safe it doesn't matter if they're wild or not. This poor elephant that was chained up, and beaten, and made to do tricks just for our amusement. +Hearing about the violence going on over politics in the country is really sad and upsetting. It's easy to take for granted how we live and how lucky we are that we don't have to worry about people killing us on a daily basis. Our government is also democratic which means people have a voice. This isn't the case in some areas/ +Honestly it seems that the world is and has been providing a place for many refugees from all over for some time. I find it annoying that despite the people from africa and the middle east being evacuated from theyre previous worse situations they still feel the need to incite riot and cause chaos and show not only ungratefulness, but barbarity. +You have to read this. It's unbelievable that people could act so rash and wrong towards another human being, no matter what happened. If I were in that situation, I'd be so angry and I would want to hurt someone back. It's hard not to get caught up in the emotion of the situation since so many people got hurt. +This is so sad, but I think it had a lot to do with a bunch of college kids drinking and partying, and then something going terribly wrong. I think there was a group of kids that started arguing with the guy and one got pretty riled up and hit the guy. I find it interesting that there were things that were not being commented on. I think there's a lot more to this story than what the school is reporting. +I just read a horrible article online about 10 people getting hurt after a huge fire started in an apartment complex in Arizona. That is so horrible I really feel bad for them. The say that eight of the people had minor injuries so that is good that it was only minor. Unfortunately one person had to be taken to the hospital but they are in stable condition so that is good news. Apparently two people outside of the apartment were also hurt by the fire some how. I think they were able to get the fire under control pretty easily though cause it only lasted around 10 minutes. They had to have the gas company come and shut off the gas and apparently they are investigating what could have caused the fire in the first place. That reminds me of the fire that happened at my neighbors house. +Take a look at this story about a forest being decimated and what is happening to the monkeys there. So sad. Think you would be interested in reading it. The government is doing nothing to stop the deforestation or anything to protect the monkeys. I know that it is not local to us, but still a sad thing to read about. +Did you read this story about the mountain climber who died trying to climb a mountain in Vietnam? It was very sad. The girlfriend begged him to get help but he refused until it was too late. I feel so bad for his family and girlfriend he left behind. I do take comfort in knowing that's what he wanted to do and he died following what he wants. +Did you hear about the three people who died on Halloween night? It happened in Mississippi on a highway. Someone hit a trailer that was pulling people on a highway. Several people were injured, but three were killed. Authorities say that the three killed were related to one another. That is so sad and breaks my heart. It was most likely a family, a mother and her kids, or a father and his kids. It really makes me sad when I read about it because I cannot help but imagine how much fun and excitement this family was experiencing before the accident happened. The article did not say if the driver who caused the accident was drunk or on drugs. I wish people were more alert while on the road. Accidents like this are completely preventable. And now three people are no longer with us. +Shit happens. People die for no real reason all the time. It’s unfortunate for these people, but they’re not alone or special in their grief. Maybe if the ride was found to be mechanically defective they can sue and gets some money. Otherwise it’s just another sad story out of so many others like it in the world. +This really saddens me that people are so lost now a days. It never solves anything to hurt other people and this just shows a lack of judgement and remorse. It feels as though there had been a disconnect with humanity and we do not have the respect for each other that e once had. I hope that this person can find their way to a better path. +Hey, remember that eighties song "You Spin me Right Round" that people like to laugh about? The guy responsible for that just dies recently, he seemed like he was pretty interesting. I heard that he was on the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother, but I bet that show is just as boring as the American version. It's so interesting how the celebrity culture over there compares to over here. +I can't imagine the fear and anger that must be happening for these people to not only be attacked in this manner but to be in such a remote area that help cannot get you in a timely fashion. These senseless acts are obviously those of cowards that have no regard for human life and should be captured and dealt with harshly. There is not enough room in this world for people that would do this to others for any cause or religion. I hope that everyone that can be saved and cared for is able to get what they need in order to recover physically. I know that the emotional healing for all of them and their families will take much more time and help for these poor people that have had to endure such an atrocity. I can only hope we never see events such as this in my own family. +this is a very tricky story, Cook a 20-year-old business major with no criminal history, has seemingly been charged, tried, and convicted. there is a lot of evidence coming out to accuse him of sexual harassment and rape but he denies and calls it consensual acts of sex. His lawyer has asked that cook is not crucified on what is being said but by facts. +Thats pretty crazy that someone died in Jakarta. I don't even know what the whole issue was but just to think that just like that your life could be over. I get that politics is a pretty nasty sport but really when you think about it, it's quite different around the world then it is here. People think our current state of the nation is bad, can you just imagine being in some of these other countries where there seems to be nothing but endless political strife. I've even seen government members punch each other in meetings in some foreign governments. The world is such a crazy place. +rember when Kim Kardashian was attacked in Paris? I just read another famous person, Mallika Sherawat was tear gassed and beaten :( It is so sad you can not feel safe anywhere! I am glad she is outspoken and is bringing awareness to this whole ordeal. I feel so bad for all these people just minding their own business and being attacked. +A 22-year-old guy lost control of his Volkswagen and caused a head-on collision with a van. In addition to him and his passenger dying, a mother and two young children in the van were also killed. The van actually burst into flames. The teenage girl and her cousin in the van were the only ones able to escape. This is truly heartbreaking. I hope the impact killed them and they didn't have to suffer through the fire. +Lmao why has no one told me about this. This i\should be like public information from insurance companies but of course they are trying the most amount of money off of their customers . Us safe drivers are the reason why they are profitable in the first place, so they could do their part and give us discounts for our safe driving practices +Looks like India and Pakistani relations are going straight to hell. It is unclear if it was really sanctioned by their government, but Pakistan shelled across the border and killed 13 Indian civilians. Pakistan is saying India shelled them back and killed 6 of theirs. They are having some sort of dispute over their border and neither side really wishes to backdown. India claims they were destroying a terrorist encampment on the Pakistan side of the border, and Pakistan claims they bombed one of their military bases. The whole thing is a big mess and can't help the stability of the region. +Did you hear that 1 person died and 7 more were injured in Indonesia? It is pretty amazing how hearing about these things in other parts of the world don't surprise me but if they happened here where we live it would be very shocking and disturbing to hear about. I bet they were motivated by religion because over there they are very strict and kill people who don't agree with them. +Now a days for money people are doing anything, school children to make addict of porn websites and make porn video from them, i will tell one incident. The former elementary school volunteer accused of producing child pornography involving students as young as 9 has been indicted on two additional sex. The Guy Deonte Carraway, 23, of Glenarden, now faces a total of 15 federal counts of sexual exploitation of a minor to produce child pornography. The federal charges are separate from local charges that Carraway faces in Prince George’s County, where a local grand jury indicted him on 270 counts of sex crimes and child pornography involving 23 children as young as 9 years old. +I just read an article about some chowder-head who used a hammer and a pick ax to destroy Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Wow, what a great protest. You sure showed him. Good job. Lol, can you believe this garbage? Who has such a hollow and pathetic life that they don't have anything better to do with their time than commit petty vandalism because they dislike some politician? What a dingus. +The tweets attacked her personally, she explained in a blog post on Thursday, and celebrated the end of “Mockingbird.” “Mockingbird is canceled,” Cain had tweeted early last week. “But we need to make sure @Marvel makes room for more titles by women about women kicking ass.” She also tweeted out the cover of the last “Mockingbird” issue and encouraged followers to buy that issue and “send a message to @marvel that there’s room in comics for super her stories about grown-up women. +I think protests these days are getting out of hand. It's one thing if people want to protest peacefully, but it's another if they are damaging property and being aggressive and dangerous. I believe people should have a right to protest, but some laws must be in place. If you can't follow them there will need to be consequences. +What won’t people post? Some mom posted a picture on Instagram of her 2-day-old C-Section scar to remind people that it’s no picnic. I guess it’s an unsolicited public service message of sorts. She had some sort of tumor that made it necessary. She had the baby and that’s the god news. Surprisingly, she got about 1200 “likes” in total. I found myself wanting to out of sympathy. Who needs birth control with this kind of publicity? She says she loves her scar. Go figure… All in all, I think she’s happy it’s over. +The article talked about a person who took matters into their own hands where after their card was declined at Starbucks, he went back and ended up shooting a customer that was inside. This is the PRIME example of where there should be a serious look at our gun laws. Sure there is that second amendment that allows for the right to bear arms but look at how much our society has changed. Should that not be taken into account when thinking about the possibility that maybe not everyone should actually have that right? It's really sad how much our society has devolved into this constant chaos of shootings, violence, and terror. +The whole situation with Dr. Luke and Kesha got way out of hand. I feel so bad for Kesha because she simply became a victim of the music industry and lost her voice in the process. Dr. Luke should be ashamed of himself for treating Kesha so badly and trying to make her into something that she wasn't. I'm glad that she got the help that she needed and is making strides toward her own recovery. +I just read an article about the hate and racism in America since Donald Trump won the election. It talked about "countless acts of hate" beggining from day one of Trumps presidency. I thought the article was misleading. You cannot blame allready existing problems on a newly elected official. There was no facts or statisticis supporting the claims made in the article. +I can not believe that their is still such hate in the world. When I read stories like this I think about how we really need to come together and rid the world of such hate. All those times we talked about things like this happening all over the world really make you think about your own life and what we are doing to make a change/positive impact on the world. I think it is very sad to see lives wasted in this manner such as careless deaths that will get no one anywhere. I know that you have told me a lot of the same things, so I wanted to see how you felt about this too. +As someone who graduated with a STEM degree I know firsthand just how few women there are in the field. It's very sad, and it does indeed rob us of talent. All you have to do is look around to see how America is still a man-run country. The number of women in power is small, and women feel conflicted between what society says they should do and what they want to do. After all, many have aspirations besides raising kids. Who says that the 'house-mom' idea is right? The gender gap needs to close, and the wage gap. Women are not paid as much as men. That's a fact. +India just confirmed its participation in the Paris Climate Accord. I think it's great that the larger countries of the world are willing to step in and say that things need to change. I also really like that they made the announcement on Gandhi's birthday. I think that's a nice and respectful way to honor his legacy. +Educational videos can be helpful, but this seems rather silly to me. I would not consider applying make up on a train a pet peeve and I'm surprised it was on a list of complaints from other people. But we have to remember that this is a different culture as well so may be seen as something negative in Japan. I would agree on the issue of beauty that was mentioned in the article. It shouldn't be biased, only informative. +It is terrible that our political system is so dysfunctional that one man can cause so much harm arounf the world. The result of American ignorance will mean a great deal of pain in many lives, including those of our next-door neighbor. I wish we valued experts more such that we could introduce policies that help all people--which is quite possible. Diplomacy and politics are not a zero-sum game: there are no enemies unless we create them. All people have value and choosing knee-jerk hate will only harm us in the long run. +Hey. I just read an article about Somali refugees in America and I had many thoughts. I understand where these refugees are coming from. Having to leave their home and come to a foreign country where they don't know many people and having others not want you there. I understand that they had to leave their home country because of whatever issues the country was having but I wonder if these refugees could try a bit harder. It's hard to come here as an immigrant and I'm sure way more harder to come as a refugee but taking initiatives to push forward and somehow make it work would be the best thing possible. It did make me feel sad for them. I wondered if it's possible to give them more aid based on working or something to reward them for being a member of society. +It is very tragic to hear this news regarding the circumstances that many animals are facing in various zoos across the globe. It seems that human nature is causing these animals to be subjected to lives they shouldn't have to endure. If they were released into nature then maybe they would have a fighting chance but at the same time, most of them have been raised in the zoo perhaps so their "social skills" in nature may be quite the detriment as well. I just wish that some organization(s) could rescue them and take care of them the way they ought to be. No animal should really have to live in a zoo, to begin with, and now they are suffering from malnourishment and lack of care. It is tragic to read about this but it is the world in which we live. +I think it is really fucked up that people continue to mess with the environment. Corporations and these oil fuckers should stopped. They are damaging the environment to no end! Someone needs to sit down with CEOs and ask them, "Why do you want billions if you won't be able to enjoy it in the future when the environment is completely fucked?" Seriously, where is a CEO going to travel to enjoy his millions and stay at luxury resort villas when the environment is completely fucked? The luxury resort will be gone!! His wealth will end up amounting to nothing when he can't even enjoy it. His future children will have millions passed down but they won't fully enjoy it because the planet will be fucked! What the fuck? These people are morally fucking bankrupt, only bankrupt they'll ever know. +These poor people. I hope the researchers can find a way to help them. The thought that you can't even use the water that is deep in the ground due to arsenic contamination is horrible. This is a sign of the times, however, and I believe as populations grow, water is going to be a big commodity due to the scarcity of clean water. +I feel like the world is so corrupt that it no longer makes me feel anything. I expect the worst from this world and only am surprised when something exceedingly good happens. That is a shame that such a gruesome scene cannot even make me feel anything. The world is a cesspool and we no longer have any integrity to show for it. +the person that rented out the appartment i feel was in the wrong doing because they didnt own the place so when the damages came it he wasnt able to fix the problems making it the owners problem which led to them finding out and having to file the law suite for 20k to get there money back so it was a messy situtation +While reading this, I can't help but think about how much of politics nowadays is about money. How many millions of dollars is spent trying to convince people that someone is a good person and right for the job. It should be like any other position. Work hard. Do good. Build a resume you can be proud of and let that speak for itself! +It's always sad to hear someone losing their lives, especially during a terrible crash such as Yu Xu, who was the first woman to fly a Chinese fighter jet. It's even worse that it happened during a training mission, and not a real mission. I hope her family can find peace and that she can be remembered for her positivity and caring towards others. +I think it is crazy to think that the Zika virus is just going to disappear. I'm really worried about getting bit by an infected mosquito and then getting pregnant. I wouldn't want anything to happen to my baby. This person thinks that we should just put girls in a room with infected mosquito's and let them get bit. I don't think you can prevent immunity that way. I don't think this virus is just going to disappear. I think something has to be done to prevent it from infecting more people. It needs to be controlled. I think it is sad for those that have already gotten the virus. Something has to be done to help these poor people. +Once again, another group of innocent people negatively impacted by this buffoon and his horrific policies and his agenda. It still floors me that this immoral idiot is now the President of the United States. I've lost all respect for our government and the government "officials" who run our country. +How can anyone, in this day and age, still believe that climate change is not real? I imagine it's the same people who believe the earth is flat. We should be working towards clean and renewable energy but of course there are fights all across the way because people want to make money. Also replacing infrastructure is hard. But, that's not an excuse when you know that entire parts of the country might expand into a desert. This is especially true of North America. +Hello friend, I'm so glad I don't have a Wells Fargo account. I've hated this company for a long time. I've heard from friends that have an account there that they hated it. It's not surprising that Wells Fargo was opening fake accounts. Imagine the headache of having to deal with that on your credit report. Those customers should be compensated big time for this. Of course, nobody will be prosecuted. +I just read about Arnold Palmer dying. He was a fixture on Sunday afternoons watching golf. I really wish that he was still around, I will miss him out on the course. He has always been around since I was a kid, even when he quit playing he would be out there for the major championships. I think it will be different watching them without him around. He was a genuinely nice man. +It's no surprise that they're finally learning just how traumatic middle school can be--for everyone involved. Looking back, I can say that the person I was in middle school is almost like a stranger to me know. I was completely different before and after middle school, and during those three years themselves it was like I was someone I'd never met. God bless the mothers who stick with us throughout it all. +It's truly awful anytime some sick minded individual decides to take the life of others for literally no reason other than just to do it. Arcan Cetin was believed to be the one who shot up a maul and killed numerous people. It really is alarming at what goes wrong in these people's lives that makes them do such thing. +Oh man, I feel perturbed. Why do people have to keep suffering and dying so we can understand that strict gun control is necessary, who needs to die? How many people? This is just a sad and crazy story repeating itself, over and over again. We need to understand that as long as anyone can get a gun, nobody is safe. +This was terrible! I'm so glad that those guys got arrested. It's never okay to throw bottles at people, I don't care who you are or what the circumstances are. That poor kid almost died. I mean why? For nothing. Because of a stupid fan rivalry? What do you guys think? Agree or disagree? I can't see how you could take a different stance on it, but just for kicks and giggles. I mean I'm all for sports and stuff but if you get out of control and you hurt someone, that's on you. This is supposed to be fun. These games aren't supposed to be violent, and continued behavior along these lines could damage the reputation of the game, the fans, and the organization. I don't condone it at all and I don't think that you should either. So there you go, that's that. There you go. That's that. There. +I feel really bad for these orangutans. They must have been treated so bad to be in the condition they are in when they were found. Those things should never have been bought and trades and put in a domesticated situation. It's good that they're being taken care of. Hopefully they can recover and go back to where they came from. +This is going to sound insensitive, but this article was rather dry. And I just realized that that was a horrible pun. Anyways, this article is illustrating the harm of over pumping water sources in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It sounds like a really terrible situation, with arsenic being a terrible poison that's being pushed around by all of this negligence. You should read it. +Let's be real for a second - politics is and always has been a cruel and nasty game. These politicians throw insults at each other for months in order to win. That's what competition portrays itself as in politics. For this woman to suddenly become offended when she has thrown around plenty of insults herself is not just hypocritical, but also shows a lot of weakness on her part. I don't like her policies anyways! +So I read an article on Leon Russell passing away. I really do not listen to rock and roll music like that, but from the article you can just see how many people he has touched in his life in positive ways. There was even a quote from Elton John talking about how influential Russel was in his own life, and the impact he had on his stardom. +This man should be found guilty. There is no way he forgot that his son was in the car. The child would have been able to speak. He would have been in a front facing car seat. there is no way he didn't see him. He is guilty and he needs to be punished. He should be put in prison for life. This poor child suffered a great deal and this man needs to suffer. +Look at this nonsense. We can put dudes on the moon and videochat across the planet with anyone we like, but we STILL can't make containers for fuel that don't leak everywhere? You know that "Cui bono" thing I told you about? At this point I think someone (probably the environazis) benefit from this enough to keep doing it. How about we build pipelines for the oil? Oh right, environazis again, complete with the trash heap they left behind after their protest. +I wanted to write a bit to you regarding an article I just read about the Confederate Flag. Initially my feelings are a bit sadden by all the news and attention this situation is creating. I myself on the one hand would sympathize with those who are in support of the flag, like putting myself in their shoes. In matters of free choice, if it is their choice to want to display the flag, I support their right of free choice. I am also in sympathy with those that may find offense of the Confederate Flag. It may in fact open up old wounds, and bring back hurtful memories. However I fully support our President's view. President and Mr. Donald Trump feels that the Confederate Flag should be placed in a museum. That course of action is an intelligent response, for both sides of the issue. I agree. +I think it is exciting to learn about new ways to save money in my day to day life. I am thrilled to learn that there is a potentially far more cost effective way for me to live each day, which will put me on my way towards making my dreams come true. I am intrigued by the service and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into something that could be of great service down the road. +I just read the most disturbing article about Terry Jones -- that actor who used to be on Monty Python. Apparently he has a relatively serious form of dementia known as primary progressive aphasia which affects the ability to speak, recall words, and generally be able to communicate with people. So terribly sad. I can't even imagine how his family must feel. It would be terrible to watch someone you love slowly deteriorate like that,. +Wow, what an amazing story. I had no idea that the zika virus could cause such horrific developmental problems in children. As a parent of 2 myself, nothing scares me more than to think about all the horrible things that could happen to my kids in this world, and what I would do to prevent them from having to endure such things. What a terrible disease, and one that we know so little about and have essentially no real medicine type treatment for! I'm sure it's only a matter of time before this makes it's way closer to where I live! Scary! +This is a sad story. There is a Rhino Orphanage, but a beloved rhino just passed about. They tried so hard to save this rhino, and unfortunately the baby rhino named Thula is the area that this happened in. It never gets easier. The other rhinos here are being taken care of, but it was a great loss, and we all feel so bad about it. The name of the baby rhino was Isibindi, and she will be missed. +I just don't believe this article. It definitely seemed to lean towards a very liberal bias. I just have a tough time believing the numbers on this one. I would like to see where they got their figures. Unfortunately, I feel that everyone is just against Trump. It doesn't matter what he does!!! +I think its sick having these kids working. These kids should be playing and having an education. Why are they doing this? This just shows you how much people care about money. Its disgusting. Human beings are disgusting. I feel so ashamed. God will punish all of these people. We are just being controlled. Someone needs to put this to an end. I really hope these children get the life they deserve. This is why there is a lot of people suffering from depression because of these terrible things going on. +Hello there, I think this situation in Haiti needs our attention. It's clear that these people are suffering after such a catastrophe befell them. I urge you to donate and make a difference in these people's lives especially the children who are suffering and don't have anything to eat. Every dollar will count I think +I have never heard of any of the people mentioned in this article. I did not even know that there is a monarchy in Thailand. It sounds like the king that died recently was very well liked by the Thai people. Anyway, I hope that this lady heals quickly from her illness and that she has a prompt recovery. +I cannot stand Donald Trump and his fear mongering. Most Muslim people I know are very, very kind people. It is so unfortunate there are so many hate crimes because of the ignorance our President continues to blast on twitter. It's not just Muslims. It's everyone that is not part of the Alt-White movement. Jewish people, LBGTQ people. Black people. It is fueled by hate and ignorance. Trumps Muslim ban did more harm than good! He just caused fear, creating a deeper divide in our country. It's sad. +Honestly I do feel bad for him but at the same time you should not be taking a selfie around an animal that is clearly so dangerous. Pythons are really dangerous animals and I get that the man had rescued the reptile from a local hotel but even still, you need to have your eyes on that thing at all times. I feel like some people are not as responsible as they should be, and that goes for anything. People are too busy spending their life looking through the viewfinder of their smartphone camera and are so busy trying to document everything online in their desperate, never ending quest for more likes and followers that they are willing to put their personal safety on the line, and that's really sad and I think it really speaks to where we're going as a society as well, and it's frustrating. +This is old news, really. We all know Trump won...and no one really saw it coming. No one thought he could win, every step of the way...and yet he did. He's in office...he's messing things up...whatever. We can only hope Mueller does something and/or that someone else wins in 2020. I'm tired of hearing about it. +Isnt it crazy man that more and more sports legends are starting to pass away? Him and Jack were perhaps the most important icons in golf. Have you ever had an Arnold Palmer? It's a really good drink too. We should share a few Arnold Palmers later on today to honor the life of this great man. Should we hit a few rounds today as well? I mean I know you're a big gold fan, so I understand how this is upsetting you. I will send you more articles about him later on today so we can talk more about him. What do you think? Who do you think was better? Jack or Arnold? What about tiger? Either way, I hope you get this article and it helps lift your spirits a bit. I cannot really connect to the article since I am not a big golf person, but I still think we should honor the man. +hey guys as you can see here an elderly woman has come up and was taken tot he hospital by the police and they are requesting asistance trying to identify her and see who knows her if any of you have seen this woman or know any of her relatives or her name that would really ebhelpful in helping the police get her back with her family and reunite with them if you have any tips o nay sort pleas ome forward and csll the police +Reading about the sniper shooting the wolf was heartbreaking and anger inducing. I would have been very angry if i was the one tracking the wolf and found out the wolf i had been following had been killed by an irresponsible asshole. Wolves are a majestic animal and i believe the guy that shot the wolf should be brought up on charges +Hey I thought you'd be interested in this article I just read about the complications associated with contact lenses. I know you were considering allowing Mary to get contacts instead of her glasses this year. It seems that complications can range from microbial infections to complete blindness! Interestly, the CDC notes that there are less incidents with the disposable lenses. Have you considered them at all? +Trump should really not underestimate the blacks. They got complacent after two Obama terms, and didn't come out in force like they should have for the election. Now that Trump is in office, I don't think there's any way he can win the black vote, and that would definitely sway the election in 2020. I really think Trump's days are numbered, whether it's impeachment or defeat in the next election. +Friends and family, this is another tragic incident. This involves a troubled boy who was literally body slammed by a teacher. He then was rushed to the hospital but they could not do much for him even through all of their best efforts. In the end he had to have his leg removed. This is tragic and we should seek justice for this child! +How horrible! I don't care what crime anyone has committed, beating a person and then setting them on fire is detestable! I hope and pray that the authorities will be able to find out where this video originated from and bring the perpetrators to justice! It makes me sick that a human being could do that to another human! +this kind of stuff always makes me afraid to even go outside.If there is something to catch someone will just bring it to others and it is just something that is horrible and not what I would want to put onto others.It makes me afraid that it could spread and would make things worse for everyone and drive others to panic. +I understand why this is a problem but I don't see any reason to get upset over it. It seemed like they were writing about it with more emotion than the situation deserves. Trees die all the time. They're replaced by something else. It's extremely common. I get that it's worth given current climate conditions but still. +You mean you can't breathe in smog and pollution and walk away unscathed? Who knew?! This article states so much obviousness, that you would hope people were already aware of these issues. You have cancer? Well, you had better move away from that smog bowl you live in! India and China are both owners of some nasty smog infested cities. Not surprised. +Ha. Get him, snake! I'm so proud of that snake. If you don't want to be crushed by an angry python, maybe don't use the poor thing to do tricks for people. I mean, crushing the warm thing until it stops moving is kind of what giant snakes do. I hope they didn't kill the snake, poor baby. She was just defending herself, basically. +There is a bacteria outbreak in Wisconsin. Fever, chills, shortness of breath and has killed a few people. The problem is they do not understand or can't identify where the bug is coming from. Tap water or ground water is unlikely but they can't rule it out. Pretty scary. Its not a superbug in a sense that it does respond to some medicines. +This is something that the Geneva Convention would ban from use in warfare, as it is inhumane and immoral as a tactic. I am very saddened by the turmoil in the middle east. Often I think about how we got here and why it got so bad and blame the powerful and privileged countries, including mine, have caused these conflicts. It feels like it will never end, a hopeless situation. I feel powerless to help anyone over there myself, I can only vote here and hope for the best in the end. Maybe someday the people over there will be much safer and happier. +This article I just read is pretty disturbing. It's about a guy who was trying to warm up inside a hot spring that fell into one that was way too hot, and was basically boiled alive. It's sad, and apparently one of the people with him caught it on camera. The really disturbing part comes when the authorities couldn't get to the body because of how hot it was, and when they came back, they discovered that it had dissolved completely. That part creeped me out. +Hey, Measles is still killing kids around the world basically in the countries that don't take care of their people. The governments and terrorist organizations like Boko Haram don't care about kids. I gotta think this is just another example of pure evil, killing kids all the while the government takes aid, money, food, or whatever and keeps it for themselves or sells it to the people and puts them in servitude. God bless the USA! +I cannot believe what I'm reading. Details of that Wells Fargo new accounts scam, how the lowly bank tellers would make up accounts because they were paid so low and badgered so much that they felt obligated to cheat like this. For shame. I'm surprised these details didn't get really publicized when this thing was happening. +Man it crazy I just read an article about a disaster that struck Colatina, Brazil. The disaster struck when a dam ruptured and polluted the most important river in Brazil where people were getting their foods and surviving from what the river had to offer. Now it it polluted with mining waste because of the rupture of the dam. I feel really bad that they are in a position where they cant even eat the fish in the river because the fish showed some kind of mutation because of the pollution. It really sucks that a company just pays a minimal amount after causing a huge disaster like this totally unfair +Well, I totally understand the people to make a deliberate choice of not having children. It is such physically and emotionally charged task. I would say it is impossible to do it right. Infants, middle schoolers, high schoolers… It is not easy for kids to be kids, to depend on parents who are also struggle with their problems and issues. The issues of communication, balancing, keeping priorities are especially importance in the relationships with your middle school children: it is critical time to form your lifelong relationship with them and, probably, it is one of the most challenging period. +There was a person in the articles that was muslim and at a bar for nightly events. They got into a dispute with another person and then the other person killed them. The investigators said something about donald trump and his hatred toward muslim people maybe having something to do with making the murderer feel justified in his actions. +It's terrifying to think that suicide is becoming more common in younger and younger children. I can believe that it happens with teenagers, but it's starting to become more common in children and preteens too. I can't imagine the anguish you would feel to lose a young child to suicide. I can't imagine how you would move on from that. +See what I told ya! If kids are bored they will eventually be up to no good. Here is this man just minding his own business and he's attacked by a bunch of teens on bikes! The kid that threatened him with the bottle was probably just trying to show off to his friends. I mean, this did happen in Scotland but it could've been right in our backyards as well. I think we really need to rethink our commitment to the youth center. I firmly believe that when kids have a place to go and things to do, they are less inclined to get caught up in this kind of mischief! +What I learned is that one of the things I learned was Allah is with the patient people, that only Allah can protect a person, that Allah Is the best protector, Good and bad come from him alone, that we should depend on him for everything, that he will reward the believers who are suffering for having patience because Allah I always with the good people, I believe justice will be served on judgement day. +I can not believe the struggle that has to be. And for god sake, all of them are mostly arsons, well into the 70% range. I can't believe that at all. Seems a bit high but I guess people just have no respect for nature or other peoples lives. Having your house burn down in a wild fire has to be one of the worst things that coudl happen to someone. All your belongings, all those memories, the life you built and the family or friends you surroudned yourself with. Gone. Well hopefully not your family gone cause then you'd really be in trouble but your hosue at least and sentimental things. I hope that never happens to you. +It can be a hard experience to go through, but I feel that this was a good article about the conditions of Haiti. It's not in a very good state and has gone through some tough trials. The people are in need of support, supplies, resources, hope, and cooperation. The writing was very descriptive of what has happened and may come in the future. I think you'd find this interesting to read. +There is something very, very wrong with someone who thinks nothing of hurting a fellow human being. How heartless someone must also be to take the life of another human no one has the bloody right to take. And how rotten one must be to hurt an innocent animal that is without sin and any capability of purposely doing harm. +I'm not sure why this qualifies as news...I don't care about whatever is happening in Mariah Carey's life. I especially don't care about guys making other guys jealous....I feel for her ex boyfriend or husband or whatever, as it's not cool to purposely make an ex jealous. She could still meet him but I would do it away from cameras. +Things are really bad in Afghanistan right now - I just read an article about the latest. Refugees from European countries are being sent home to Afghanistan, only to see the turmoil first-hand. And there are problems with resources getting to the people who need them. So many displaced people in bad shape. I wish countries would get together and share resources and welcome immigration. If everyone had enough resources to live comfortably, things would surely improve. +A bus driver, going about doing his business, supporting the community, has had his life taken from him in what is a senseless and needless act." Taxi driver Aguek Nyok helped passengers escape. He was in the area meaning to get a haircut and kicked the bus door three times before managing to break it open. "All the people were at the back trying to get out of the bus but they couldn't get out the front because of the flames," he told the Courier-Mail newspaper. "They couldn't open the back door so I kicked it down and they all came running out. "It was one of the two: you get the people out or they're going to die." Mr Nyok said there were three children among the passengers. Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said it was "a very, very sad day for the council and the wider community". Flags +It is time to end this war and bring our troops home. We have been in Afghanistan for almost 18 years. That is insane. Our original purpose was to fight Al-Qaeda which we accomplished a long time ago. Then our goal was to kill Bin Laden, this was also accomplished a long time ago. This is a war with no end game. +These days, women are winning in sports. There has been so many instances of men prevailing in their sport that it is now time that women do the same. Sports have been men's things for so long and I am happy to see that there are women joining the ranks of these top athletes. I am so proud of my species and how we have come so far in equality. I love that there are more even playing grounds now. +How I wish some leaders were like Barrack Obama because some do not believe that global warming is happening.He has encouraged people to start protecting the environment to avoid global warming from harming us.Some countries have already signed up agreements that will help them like the paris agreement. +hello andrea I know it's only been 2 weeks since you went to japan but I hope it's good for you and that especially be very careful remember that it's a different country with a different ethnicity things are very different there I hope you take care of everything since There's a lot of prostitution away from the evils and you'll be a good friend until later +I think this is a terrible story to hear. For a family to be torn apart like that is just heart wrenching. It is such a tragedy for all involved to be lost due to a temporary lapse in judgment. I hope the father can come to grips with the situation and eventually find some kind of lasting peace, and be able to go on with his life after a loss of this magnitude. +I guess the Indigenous people get screwed again. Technology and progress is always messing with them. I'm kinda worried about the fishing I do. I fish a good bit and eat what I catch. I hope there isn't any methylmercury in the fish I eat. If there is, I wonder if it has messed me up some. That could be where some of my health problems come from. Maybe it's time to stop eating the fish I catch. +The thought of suffering from sleep paralysis is quite unnerving. It would seemingly be akin being a prisoner in one's own body. I would encourage anyone suffering from such issues to have such an issue investigated by a doctor. It is very fortunate that we live in a time where doctors can assist individuals with such issues, so people should really seek help. +i was reading about the war in Iraq. not gonna lie, i couldnt read it all. logically you know "war is hell" but all the details of it were too much for me. i tried, but reading of who's got a head head injury, who got gassed, it was too much. I flinch when i hear the words "suicide bomber" on the news, so reading about people being dragged into the city to be used as human sheilds was too much. I dont get it. how can people be so horrible to each other. bomb and attacks require calculated effort i just cant comprhend. +If you have gone through war, gone through hell, you should expect that when you come home to the country that you have been fighting to protect that they will take care of you in some way instead of throwing you out into the cold and basically tell you good luck. It is heartbreaking to know people out there are in poverty, but especially to know that our war veterans are treated this way. +I thought this was a pretty interesting article. I learned some things about Moldovan politics. It might be relevant to some of what you and I were talking about some time ago. In any case, it has some new facts that have come to light, as it were, new information or opinions that I had not fully considered prior to reading this article. +This is a sad state of affairs, but what do you expect from a country that is as corrupt as Russia. The ruling class has a stranglehold on the wealth and the average person gets next to nothing. The country is barely a step above a third world country in most parts, while the rich get richer and Putin profits. There is not that much difference now than in the 70's and 80's except now the corruption is out in the open and there are billionaires all over the place. +Another sad story. I am deeply sorry for the families of the innocent civilians that were killed but our United States army has to do what it has to do in order to protect our great country and keep us all safe as Americans. Living in those types of countries is a risk and sometimes innocent peoples lives have to be taken in order to keep us safe and protect our country. +For all the married couples out there, please think twice before you cheat on your beloved spouse. Is it really worth to throw away years of experiences down the drain just to have fun with a random stranger for a night? These celebrity scandals are such a joke, all the times I look on the news and these relationships barely last. +There is people starving and going without any food. Some of these people used to have jobs and ate well before they fell on bad times. They are suffering and going without basic nessicities. One mother went as far as trying to boil grass for her children to eat. I cant imagine lacking so much nutrition and suffering so bad +Hey friend did you check out this article. We should do our best to protect ourselves and our loved ones from Zika. I know that when my wife was pregnant I paid close attention to the news in order to be up to date with developments. It is really sad to see children being born with microphely. I really hope something will be done. +Wow talk about crazy. I know the situation in Africa was bad, but I just always feel it never gets better. You told me that you're visiting in a few weeks. Can you ensure me that you will be okay? I am worried about you and want to maker sure you're okay. Hopefully your missionary work will yield good results. Maybe I will read about you in an article in a few months helping over all. Anyways, I hope this reaches you. +It kind of worries me a little bit because sometimes I go through phases where I have a really hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. It's so weird. It happens or no reason and it last's for like 2 weeks and then all of a sudden stops and doesn't happen again for awhile. Sometimes I'm so tired and I really want to fall asleep but I just can't. I try everything, melatonin, warm milk, an eye mask and a fan or white noise but nothing works and then all of a sudden I'm fine again and no problems. +I was shocked at these statistics. temperatures are becoming dangerously high. the culprits is the fossil fuel industries. we need to hold them accountable, the government has failed, But how can we have faith in our governments to take this action when they continue to hand nearly hundreds of billions of dollars in government subsidies to the coal, gas, and oil industries? Ending these subsidies would be a giant step towards solving the climate crisis saving giga onnes of carbon dioxide emissions, and helping make clean energy cheaper than fossil fuels, we need to do something and do it now +A Cincinnati Zoo had improper safety regulations which led to a 3 year old boy falling into a Gorilla pit. This was the Harambe thing everyone was talking about years ago. They ended up shooting the Gorilla in an attempt to prevent the child from getting hurt, but there was a lot of uproar over whether it was necessary or not. It's a happy ending for the kid but I really wish both lived. +I read an article about making the ivory trade legal, and it said it could cause the extinction of elephants. I find it extremely disturbing, since I can't imagine elephants being extinct. It makes me really angry that poachers are able to kill so many elephants, and that even if it's legal to trade ivory, the demand is still really high. I think finding a substitute for ivory is a better choice. No one actually needs ivory, and keeping it illegal seems like a better idea. +I think we should just leave them where they are. They're not causing any problems. They're too dangerous and too costly to try to move. There hasn't been great reports of them starving. They should be fine to roam around there for now. We don't want to waste tax dollars to try to deal with a dangerous situation. +Apparently the giant albatross is being destroyed by giant mice that have overrun one of their main breeding islands. I don't exactly understand how, but the parents haven't learned that the mice are a threat and just sit there and watch them eat the babies. Seeing as how they are meat eaters you'd think the mice would provide an easy snack. +I agree with this article completely. I used to take the pill for awhile and it did change my moods and make me feel weird and just off. So I switched to the depo shot and same thing. It made me feel super depressed and also made me gain a lot of weight. I have had some kind of bad side effect with every birth control I've ever tried. I refuse to take any form of birth control now except for condoms and I track my cycle so I know when I'm fertile. +What I have learned from Aghanistan is that they are really the source of corruption in the middle east. Afghanistan went through bad conditions in the last three decades but in the new government of HAMID KARZAI from 2000 it's started developing again many reconstruction and other works can be seen.It's going to take a lot of work though. +Hello, I thought this behavior was a thing of the past, but read this article, it is rather enlightening. I often think here in the US there is a great divide on how racial issues are dealt with, and the US is not the only one. There are many racial problems in other countries and that makes me feel hopeless for the future. If we can't fix the issues here in America, how can we critizice other countries? +just another fucked up mental sickness of american police against its black residents, I honestly have no idea why they have to be so sensitive with their fucking guns, they shoot people as if people can respawn after being shot or something, police should think twice before taking out people's lives with no legitimate reason, I guess it's good that police have body cam, so the public can see what shame they are brining upon themselves +This is sad and such a strange case. I don't know who to side on. While it would have been good to stop the boat to look it also might not have mattered depending on where he fell into the water. I don't really care about them being gay or the fact that they say they were harassed that shouldn't matter in the case anyway. +A Russian fighter jet crashed into the Mediterranean Sea as it attempted to land on an aircraft carrier. The pilot safely ejected from the aircraft. Many Russian naval vessels are not off the coast of Syria in Russia's support of the Syrian government. Many Britains are concerned over Russian warships traveling through British waters. But Russia says its focus is about maintaining and safeguarding it's maritime economic activity and responding to new kinds of piracy and international terrorism. +As it turns out, male models do not make as much as their female counterparts. I was not aware this was the case. The reasoning seems to be that male models have a longer career, whereas women are considered going downward after thirty. The gap in pay between them is quite high. Some people are doing their best to split the wages more fairly, but it appears to be the default to pay women more in this industry. I think more men are paying attention to their grooming habits. I hope that men will earn more fair wages in the future. +so Trump's guy of SCOTUS is anti LGBTQ. he's so far off the mark its insane. wants to outlaw gay sex basically. like, WHO is gonna enforce what happens in someones bedroom? I cant with this adminstration anymore. where will it end? just let people love who they want... crazy homophobes are gonna make america a whole new version of hell +How can they do this to these people? Did you see this? How can you move people who were fleeing war and violence to another place after they had already settled there? It's unbelievable, I feel so sorry for these people, and someone needs to step in and help them stay where they are currently comfortable. +I just read an article that the U.N. reports that ISIS has executed over 200 people near the Iraqi city of Mosul and is using thousands of people as human shields. The Iraqi forces are advancing against them and as a result, ISIS carried out mass killings, punishing people who had defied its orders. They are even forcing women to wear gloves to completely cover themselves, and accusing anyone who has even a cell phone of being a spy. It seems they are growing increasingly desperate and determined to take the lives and freedom of everyone in their path without regard to civility or even basic humanity. This scourge must be stopped, it is so heartbreaking to read about these victims! +The article also good.but some times also said medical teams were examining the bodies and trying to determine their identities. “The investigation is just beginning,” he said. The Iraqi Joint Command issued a brief statement condemning the Islamic State. “Gangs of ISIS militants continue to commit crimes against our people,” the military said. Fighters from the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, have held the city of Mosul and surrounding towns and villages for more than two years. +You know how you were having trouble sleeping? Here, read about people who have tinnitus - it'll put you to sleep. I feel like more should be done to help the seven percent who say their tinnitus is a big problem for them, though. That's the same as any other psychiatric complaint, right? If it's affecting your life so that you can't function normally, there should be some kind of help for you +Did you hear what is happening in Aleppo? Residents are being texted (apparently from their government) to evacuate their homes in preparation of the city being bombed! It’s just terrible what those people have to endure. I feel so bad for them. Their country is already so war torn, and they are almost out of food. 2 pounds of meat costs $40. I can’t even begin to imagine what these people are going through. If it we here, happening to our families, I would be so scared. +I was reading where Chicago, Illinois has an incredible problem with lead in their public drinking fountains. This problem is all over in public buildings, parks and even in homes where lead pipes are still in existence. This is a problem that can have both immediate and long-range problems for adults and children in the city. Children growing up drinking this polluted water can have many health problems including learning disabilities, behavioral problems and a variety of diseases. The homeless are also prone to having problems because they rely on public drinking fountains every day. +There was this little boy found dead down a well somewhere in China. He fell down there well helping his father harvest, I guess on a farm they own. What kind of weird is that they weren't able to get him out till four days later; not really sure why they couldn't get him out sooner...could have saved his life. Maybe they just didn't have enough resources...sad...very sad... +I think it's well known what the CIA has been doing through it's torture programs of suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. Dr. Rosecrans a leading psychiatrist for the Navy was immersed in treating these patients. She worked there for almost fifteen years and had difficulty helping out these traumatized victims after their incarceration. +Looks like a lot of muslim hate crimes are going on, especially in new york city. A lady had her clothes set on fire right in public. People yelling "get out of America" at them, etc. I can understand people's animosity towards them as their religious people essentially declared war on us, but not everyone is that extreme. +Tensing was later fired. Tensing, 26, testified he feared he was going to be killed. Prosecutors said repeatedly the evidence contradicted Tensing’s story. Judge Megan Shanahan said Saturday that the jury of 10 whites and two blacks spent more two hours deliberating Saturday morning after getting a night’s sleep and still could not reach a decision. “It’s obvious to me you have made a sincere and conscientious effort,” the judge said before setting a new hearing date for Nov. 28 to determine whether the case will re-tried. County prosecutor Joe Deters said he’ll decide within the next two weeks whether to try the case again. Attorney Al Gerhardstein, who represents the DuBose family, said they want another trial and can’t understand why the jury couldn’t reach a conclusion. “With the video +Can you believe this article? The more I read this article the more disgusted I got with what had been done to this kitten. This is a awful story that deserves to be heard by more people to make sure that the the kitten receives justice, and that the person who did this is not allowed to hurt any more animals. I think it is a great thing that this person is not allowing for someone to get away with this and making sure that others will stand with him and not allow this crime to go unpunished. I think it would be great if you could share this story and let others know so something like this can be stopped in the future. +I think the wraparound glasses are a great idea. I don't care how ridiculous they look. If I had to choose whether or not my kid was worried about fashion or protecting his eyes, eye protection would win every time. Ugh, can you imagine the possibility of losing your eyesight, or possibly even the whole eye, just because you didn't want to look silly? Nope, wraparound glasses all the way! +This is no surprise. As with every year before it for the past couple decades, this was the hottest year on record. I do not know how so many people can take irrefutable scientific evidence like this and still not only question, but outright deny that global warming is happening. It makes me angry that we are killing this planet and there are so many people that are simply too stupid too admit it is happening and fix it. +I think it is important to ensure safe drivers on our roads, for our family’s sake. I believe that the rate of accidents on American roads is far higher than acceptable. I believe there should be more restrictive driving requirements and testing, as well as harsher punishments for drivers who do not respect the riles of the road. +If he is not responsible for the killings, it would be baffling as to why he would attack the officers. If it turns out that he was responsible for these killings, it is good that he can no longer harm anyone else. It must be a nerve-wracking job to be a police officer, knowing that at any moment someone could attack you for no good reason. +Wow - what a lucky cop!! I can't believe he was able to stop that guy. The community is much better off without him. As fascinating as I find true crime, I really don't understand the impulse of some people to kill. It's crazy. I can't believe the damage that guy caused. Luckily, he was stopped!! +I think issues like basic income, universal healthcare, and right to assisted dying are way more important. My interest in being fit or healthy is the reduction of painful symptoms. When I eat sugar, carbs, and enriched flour foods, my legs hurt, my back hurts, my stomach digestion goes very bad, and I get heartburn. For me, it's not so much about being fat or not, it's about reducing pain. +I personally don't agree with science making these kinds of decisions. Maybe, just maybe, a higher power didn't want these people to reproduce? How do we know that these methods don't permanently change something in the DNA that helps guarantee that a serial killer is born four of five generations down the line. How do we know? There have been no studies. I would guess by this article that since boys that are born using this method also have low sperm counts, that something, or someone, somewhere, is trying to tell them something. +It's shocking how little people care about this and how little Africa gets mentioned in the news. This is horrific when you think about the number of victims and the people who are harmed. I wish people could focus on this. It's ridiculous that people are getting away with this and it is a huge crisis on the level of other genocides in history. +I just can't imagine forcing a child any child let alone your child into such sick sexual acts. I'm a firm believer of every family is different but something like this is appalling in my opinion. And there should never be any grounds of acceptance for such behavior. I commend the victim of these acts, that she was strong and spoke up against her parents. I can't imagine how she felt or how she coped going through such an ordeal. I'm happy that she was able to tell her story and maybe so no one else has to go through it. +This is horrible. Too have a disaster like this happen is sad. Other nations should do what we can in order to help. You never know when we may need the help for other countries. We know as a country how hard it is to loss everything to a natural disaster. All the lives lost it is best practice to help out. +I'm not sure how to feel about animals that are considered as abused when being used for entertainment purposes. It gives us the opportunity to learn and see them up close but at the same time its hard to handle the fact that these animals might be feeling pain. I mean imagine being captive by monkeys your whole life so they can introduce them to humans. Would be sad. +I saw a story about Yemen today. Have you read about it. It looks like ethnic cleansing over there. It is so awful hearing about innocent people being killed just because of where they are from. It's like Nazi Germany in some parts of the world. It is very scary to me. Nobody is really doing anything but making proclamations. Rights groups can't seem to do anything either. I wish these evil people would stop doing this. +What a rare occurrence to have that mutation come up for both parents. I feel very bad for Nicholas and his family. Thankfully they are able to afford the treatments that Nicholas would need almost his entire life. I feel bad for the family who aren't able to afford such treatments for their own kids. +So, I just read an article that I have absolutely no interest in. It was a bunch of gossip about Val Kilmer's health, as if that is newsworthy. I'm not even sure why I read the whole thing. I gained nothing in the way of knowledge by reading this article. What a waste of time! People really should learn how to mind their own business. +You should read this article on climate change. It's incredibly fascinating. Climate change is happening and it's really scary. Humans are causing it. It will soon be a major problem for us all. It affects all life on earth, not just people. Biodiversity has been affected and has gone down. Temperatures are changing for the worse. It's simply awful. +This article says that, A deeper look inside Wells Fargo's shameful vault — People my kids' age, who track their money by smartphone, wonder why garish competing bank branches still stud every shopping district in Philadelphia and the suburbs. Now we know: Behind the lollipops and the barred cages where the tellers sit, perverse incentives at many banks turn branches into, not just stores, but sweatshops, pushing products customers don't need and may not have ordered, thanks to admissions by Wells Fargo Bank, the dominant lender around Philadelphia, and veteran bankers. Facing outrage, Wells Fargo has belatedly stalled tens of millions of dollars in stock awards to two top executives after admitting it fired 5,300 low-paid workers over five years for opening phony accounts. +this is all about politics it talks about the like of Janet Reno, first female US attorney general who dies at 78 — anet Reno, former US attorney general under President Bill Clinton, died Monday morning following a long battle with Parkinson's disease, her sister Maggy Hurchalla said. She was 78. Reno, the nation's first-ever female attorney general, served in the Clinton White House from 1993 to 2001 +This breaks my heart. I mean, I know there's trouble everywhere, but these people have absolutely no hope, and the United States caused this, so we share responsibility. I'm going to look around and see which refugee organizations are trying to help, and gather donation information. Are you in? I'll see if Alan wants to bring this up at church, too. +Take a look at this guy! What a flip flopper!! He seems to endorse whoever is popular at the time - Trump or Obama. I also hate his only tactic for arguing against his opponent, drawing on his personal life. Instead of highlighting his policies, he’s trying to win on popularity. I would never, ever vote for this guy! +I am at shock for what I have just read. First of all I would need a lot of time to reflect on what just transpired in the article I read. Please when you read this try not to get too sad about it because it will get you sad. Just try to find someone you love and hold onto them because we should not take for granted what we have. +I just read about a tragic 10 story building collapse in a town called Kisii. I'm distressed about this news because they're still searching for survivors. There's been a report that 9 are still missing. I hope they're able to find these unfortunate victims. It was horrifying reading about the accounts because people could be heard screaming and shouting for help. I'm hopeful that they can help find any remaining survivors. This is such an unfortunate event. The cause was due to bad building construction as the developers have cowardly gone into hiding. Experts said a recent drilling underneath the building triggered the collapse. This is horrible to hear. Could you imagine if this happened to the office building we worked out? Such awful and careless planning resulting in lost lives. +I think this world is full of hate and i don't understand it. Why do they hate us? Why are they killing innocent people?And Donald trump isn't going to make anything better. He shows people hate and we might have even more terrosist coming to America. America should show people how to love. America acts like the victim but we have fault as well. There is no country that is right or wrong we are all human and we are all imperfect. The only king we should listen to is God. A lot of these presidents and kings of our countries think there god. We should humble ourselves and just love. Put ourselves in other peoples shoes. +this is an incredibly one sided article. not sure how they are even allowed to publish stuff like this. It is amazing they had to reference black lives matter, and all of sudden this guy was an upstanding citizen. There is always a reason an office pulls the trigger. Sometimes, it is an accident, but more often that not, it is not. Hopefully they will publish the toxicology report. Won't hold my breath though. +Hey, Billie bob Thorton says Angelina Jolie was never good enough for him. He is older but she was younger, I guess he had no control over her at all. He stats that Angelina had a high stakes and fast lifestyle, even made him wear viles of blood around their necks. I guess her saw her as coo koo and a tad bit crazy or or something. Maybe he had to get away from her hectic lifestyle. +The wildlife park offers their help after over half a million supporters signed a petition made by the non-profit organization Animals Asia to demand the closure of the aquarium. If the current owners of the polar bear agree to this offer, Pizza could be moved to a proper sanctuary and his life of misery would end. “The good news now for Grandview is that they now have the chance to put their mistake right,” Dave Neale, Animal Welfare Director for Animals Asia, said in a statement. “Thanks to this incredible offer from Yorkshire Wildlife Park there can be a happy ending and the negative publicity they have suffered can yet be turned into a positive news story. From talking to them I know they know that mistakes have been made in terms of their animal facilities and on-going care.” China’s +Those poor people! I can't believe the government is seriously considering leveling 783 houses! And especially ones that have historical value! There are other ways to increase your air travel options and industry without doing damage to so many people's lives! I feel awful for those people and, if I were them, I'd fight back too! +It's one thing to kill another person with a motive. But who kills horses and animals?! They are completely innocent creatures. God we have used and abused these animals for centuries. I have no idea what kind of motive this killer has. These horses deserve so much more. It's almost worse than murder in my opinion. I really hope this guy gets caught. +Victim Amanda divulged her horrific experience, including her parents making her pose for explicit photographs and videotaping their sexual encounters with a view to sell them online.f I could take it all back I would. I hate myself for what I did," she added, along with claims that Amanda's father made her "join him" in abusing their daughter. She suggested it was all her then-husband's idea and that she had initially fought him for three months, but eventually "gave in". +I saw a horrible story about a turtle on line today. A man took a hammer and beat a large turtle to death . He broke the shell on it's back and crushed it's head with the hammer. I hope they give that vile excuse for a human being the maximum sentence. I love turtles. They are so unique and cool to watch. I have a creek in my back yard and I see them all the time and they do not bite. I can't stand animal abuse. It makes me sick. +I read an article today that was discussing the problems with Sudan in Africa. The article was kind of hard to follow, but it seems like there is a lot of political and peace keeping discourse there. I really feel terrible for all the innocent people that are caught up in silly power plays and government issues. People's lives are being ruined and destroyed every day. +So, I just read this article about a series of bombing in New York and New Jersey and how these acts are being viewed as an act of terrorism. Sometimes I still cannot believe that we lived through 9/11, especially because before that I had never even heard the word terrorism or knew what a terrorist attack was. And now, we live in a world where we are constantly hearing about possible terror attacks or terrorists regularly on the news. It just makes me absolutely sick that this is the world I am raising my kids in and that we have to live in fear of someone trying to kill us or setting up bombs to surprise attack people. The fact that we cannot live a carefree life anymore because of the sick minds of individuals scares me daily and makes me wish I could keep my kids in a bubble!!! +This is a big price for reality shows featuring filthy rich people who care more about being seen than being safe. I'm sorry, I can't feel too bad for Kardashian West for being robbed, with so much tempting loot around. It must have been frightening for her to be tied up, but if I were that rich, I certainly would not flaunt it. +How to deal with that burning question of what is murder before birth and what isn't? Is it murder because it was against your will? Maybe that is how it should be determined if you walk into an abortion clinic you're willingly killing the fetus versus someone shooting you and your fetus is now unwillingly dead because it wasn't your choice? +Wow, a teacher get pregnant after having sex numerous times with an 8th grader pleads guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child. This is unreal and aggravates me that teachers would do this and children would go along with it. The world needs to worry less about wants, quit being emotionally and physically weak and focus on needs, not wants. This whole story iis pathetic and all involved have ruined their own lives and for what, pleasure? They're all weak. +Bullying is such a serious issue. It has been going on for so long. It is so sad that these young people have to take their life because they think there is no end in sight. What we need to do along with providing therapy for those that are bullied is to increase the consequences for those who are bullying others. This may have happened in Europe but in America teachers know this bullying is going on and they tend to protect the football players and other jocks. It is really sad. I hope you have never been bullied. I was and it was terrible. +Obesity is an epidemic in today's society. Almost one in three people are obese. Sometimes I wonder how we got here. People these days take no responsibility for themselves and their actions. The cost of care has increased tremendously from the obesity epidemic in this country. According to the most current statistics, over fifteen million Americans can be classified as extremely obese. +Did you see all of that stuff going on over in Syria and how Donald Trump in working with the Russian president to missile strike the people over there? Man, they really have it pretty bad with all of the stuff going on. I feel really bad for the people who are living there that really don't want any part of what is going on. Could you imagine having dinner and a missile comes flying over your house? I am definitely glad I live where I live. +Kylie Jenner pretending like she cares about other people. She makes a transparent marketing move to promote her own product by making up reasons other companies products are bad. It's disingenuous faux concern and anyone who reads it should see through the crap. It is disgusting and she should just advertise like a decent human being would. +You know I have no sympathy for anyone who harms an animal. I'm a huge animal rights advocate and I think those who are cruel to animals deserve very strict punishment. The officer involved should be charged with a crime and fired from their job. I hate it when people hurt defenseless animals and this particular crime did not have to happen! When this happens with children being left in hot cars, there are serious charges leveled and so, there should be the same in this case! +I'm not sure what the gay community hoped to accomplish by holding a gay pride event in a country where homosexuality is illegal. It's not like people there ignore such a law, since someone was powerful enough to criminalize sexual preference in the first place. I think I would rather stay under the radar until I could find a more tolerant place to live. +Since many of you guys are at the age of having children, I thought this would be something that is important to share. There is a virus called CMV I just read about that is causing devastating consequences in newborns. These children are being born with brain problems, hearing problems, and learning problems because the mothers aren't being told how to prevent it. Make sure that you wash your hands after being around toddlers, especially if you're pregnant! +Hey Jax, I thought this was a interesting article that you might be interested in reading. It definitely piqued my interest. I thought it relates to your situation that you are dealing with at the moment. Let me know what you think of the video as well. I might show this to Jackie too and see if what she thinks of it. +Our country is really at a place right now where its going the wrong direction of what an ideal society should be and how a lot people are worried about the future as well. This has clearly been shown with the spike of suicide hotline and crisis calls. We need to create a more positive and acceptable society in order for every person to feel appreciated on a daily basis. As well as we should be taking care of the environment to minimize all these environmental effects such as massive disastrous like hurricanes cause by human abusing the environment. +This is a crazy story with so many facets to it, omg. I mean on one hand, I don't support an eye for an eye. I don't support the death penalty and I don't support blinding someone. BUT on the other hand, this is a country where women really struggle and the justice system is not well developed. ALSO, he blinded a FOUR YEAR OLD GIRL. What the fuck is wrong with this guy. So if this was in America I would not support it, but I don't feel right condemning the actions of an entirely different country for doing what they felt needed to be done. +Its crazy that really intense and sad situations are happening around the world but here in USA were worried more about who made it passed the first round of the Voice or whats the latest viral videos. The fact the extremists are using innocent civilians as human shields is so cowardly and shows they have no honor what so ever. +As frustrating as it might be for the overflow of goldfish thriving in wildlife, I am very curious to see a four-pound goldfish. Could you imagine? The pettiness inside me kind of smirks at the growing population of them. There is nothing to blame for the existing and gaining population of goldfish, except for ourselves. I mean their very existence is because people wanted more appealing fish for their gardens and maybe aquariums too. Then they were bred and still are bred for trinkets and given away as promotional items. So I feel we as people have no right to glare at the survival of the discarded lives that were no longer wanted. I say,'You go goldfish! Live your best lives!' +Cricket players in England are likely going to have trouble sleeping after a 4th day of the first Test. Being in their shoes, playing hard and working together is the key to beating Bangladesh and they need to stay on top of their game in order to win. While it's physically demanding, giving up or blaming lack of sleep is simply not an option for the team. +This is really sick and disturbing don't you think? These soccer hooligans got all rowdy and worked up and when they were acting out like idiots they hit an eleven-year-old child in the head with a bottle. Poor kid had a big gash and had to go to the hospital and everything. That's pretty sad and pathetic, even though they probably didn't really mean to do it. +How sad, if you get a chance read this and maybe share, it could be the difference for this person to find her family! Sometimes I see these announcements and I usually read and share them, I hope they find who she is and most importanly I hope they find her family and get her some help. I think the more people see, read and share this info, the bigger the chance to find her identity and family, imagine if it was someone you knew. +I am so tired of hearing about this stuff, it's so fake. Trump is just a fake conservative, the same way that all of the liberals are fake liberals. Trump is far from a KKK icon, he's actually a Jew and a huge supporter of Zionism/Israel- this should make him a huge enemy of the KKK but instead it's all fake, orchestrated BS to keep us totally distracted from what's really up. +Every time I hear something about ISIS, I can't help but think about the role the US played in its creation and the horrors that have come from the vacuum of power in the region. I'm thankful to be American when I read something like this, but also ashamed at the same time in who we've chosen to represent us, not just now, but over the past 30 years. +I just read this article about the NODAPL protest movement that had a ridiculous headline. It is like they want people to have a negative opinion about this issue, so they subtly frame it in a certain way. "Empty your bank account" to make a donation in support is a very negative way of putting things, almost like psychological priming. Anyway, I wonder how the pipeline protest movement is going to continue under Trump. +It's always a bad thing when the murder rate increases. The fact that it had the highest increase in decades is incredibly disturbing, although it's important to remember that the overall rate is still much lower than it has been in the past. People think that things are more dangerous than ever today, but the facts show that's not true. +It's hard to imagine the life of people who left everything they had – of course, many of them had already lost most of what they had – and started impossibly long and complicated journeys to secure a better life for themselves and their family. Imagine having nothing but the clothes on your back, not knowing where your next meal is going to come from, but still hoping for a chance to rebuild your life. It’s heart breaking. +hey i just wanted to let you know that this is a rough article. the guy took him out and then took his own life. its pretty sad. the guy knew the employees schedule too so he just could have done it whenever. why would he do it and take his own life though i dont understand. anyways wanted to let you know i did read it and its tragic. i feel bad for the family that it happened to them. hopefully this doesnt happen much more +I found this article and thought you might be interested in it. This is so sad and disgusting. Gun violence really must be stopped in this country and it's hurting innocent people and even unborn people around this country. I think there might be a die in we can participate in happening this week if you can come. +I just read an article about wild fires sending a smokey haze across the state near the Appalachian mountains. Can you imagine how big the fire must be to spread so far and wide? And the people in the area obviously suffer the most. What if you have asthma or some other condition that restricts your breathing? +So tragic and sad that this police officer was just doing his job and now he's gone and his family is left to grieve his loss. I hope they figure out who did this and serve justice to the fullest extent. It sounds like it could be one of the people they found dead, though. I guess we'll find out later. +hey whats going on Jacob? I want to tell vent out something I read in this article. There was a Saudi-led coalition that is backed by the US, they had led an attack in Yemen, that had killed around 43 people. This is sad to hear so much killing in this world. According to what I read this happened because they are trying to take someone out of power and they are trying to bring in a new leader, I think his name is Abed Rabbo Mansour. The USA wants to put him in there. Also they are more people dying from the long conflict, people are starving and also Planes had attacked a funeral place and they had killed people there as well. All this necessary killing is not good for this word. This is really, really bad that we need war to solve problems. +Here is another interesting story but this one is about squrriels and leprosy. In the UK they found that red squrriels are getting leprosy and that never happened before. The article also mentions that Armadillos get leprosy also which I didn't know. I always thought it was a disease that only affected humans and mostly in biblical times although I guess it is not an issue now just because we learned how to top it from spreading. +The whole situation with Iraq and the uprising of ISIS can be attributed to the U.S. War on Terror and failed attempts at establishing democracy in the Middle East. The truth of the matter is, the G.W. Bush administration had no idea what they were doing when they decided to invade Iraq under the pretense of ridding Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction: Iraq had none, and we destroyed the Iraqi way of life over this lie. Iraqis may have suffered under Saddam Hussein, but at the very least, the region was stable and extremists were rare. After the American invasion, civilian deaths likely skyrocketed because law and order were thrown out as well. +It saddens and scares me that people don't see terrorists for what they are: radicalized individuals who have gone rogue. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people who just want to live their lives and practice their faith. This country needs to be educated on other cultures so we stop fearing the unknown. Building more walls and dividers between different groups of people won't help anything. +I can't really believe he was found dead in ol' Strombolo's condo. He wasn't anywhere near old enough to die of natural causes so it should be at least a little surprising when we hear about what the cause of death was. I am intrigued to find out if we have another Hollywood murder on our hands. You just can't tell anymore these days. you never know who, you never know when. +There are a lot of older people in Russia who survived the Second World War who are now trying their best to survive. Many estimates say that there are a lot of people in Russia who survived only on $4.50 a day. With this little money they do not have the luxury of going out to eat. Also when living on so little money it is dangerous because of Health Care problems. If one has to have surgery or even get expensive medication it can be a real setback to their life style. I hope the Russian economy becomes better enough to support it's elderly and everyone else in the country. +What a freaking asshole! Guys are so creepy sometimes. and in our own home state. I wonder who he gave them to to release them out to the public. Anyway, please be careful with your photos and information. I've been seeing more and more accounts like this popping up, and I would hate to see any of our sensitive data at risk. stay safe out there. +That is just crazy that a person waiting on his surfboard was attacked by a shark. That must have been pretty scary. I am glad that he didn't lose a leg or anything, but still, that would have been very scary. All of the sudden, boom, you are hit by a shark. I don't think I would want to go to that place again to surf if I was a surfer. I think people need to be cautious when surfing. I don't think it is really our place to force sharks away, as they live in the water. I think people just need to be smart and surf where there is a very low chance of being attacked by a shark. +Hey did you check out the latest dram between Scottie Pippen and his wife Larsa? Maybe it is dumb but I care about these thing because I am from Chicago. I have been hearing the name Scottie Pippen on a regular basis for the last 25 years and it kind of makes you feel interested in that person's life. I know fi this was about Michael Jordan I would feel the same way. +Oh, but global warming isn't real, right? We have all kinds of time to fix the problem, right? It's not humans, it's natural variation, right? Holy crap are we ever ostriches as a species - are we going to dig our heads out of the sand in time? Change has to happen, and it has to happen now, we can't wait for all the old white men who run things to die +Though all people who flee conflict can be called refugees, refugee agencies commonly distinguish between refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) to decide who is covered by international law and receives assistance and who doesn't. For the most part, little assistance reaches a person fleeing a conflict until he or she crosses an international border. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), established in 1950, distinguishes refugees and IDPs this way: "When a fleeing civilian crosses an international frontier, he or she becomes a refugee and as such is eligible to receive international protection and help. If a person in similar circumstances is displaced within his or her home country and becomes an internally displaced person, then assistance and protection +I just thought you would want to know my opinion on this. We've never really talked much about it. I feel like refugees from Syria should be given a free shot here in America. We have been over there messing with their country. We have engaged in war, both indirectly and directly. We have been wavering in our responsibilities there. To Be able to simply sit back here on our haunches in America Judging people who are fleeing for their lives..definately partially because of our actions, is wrong. They should be welcomed here. They shouldn't be treated as terrorists. It is important that poor people who are suffering should be welcomed here. These are people who would be glad to be given a shot, they would work hard. They are family people, hard workers, many of them are talented a +Yeah so global warming is really messing with the polar bear and the glaciers, if the earth continues to melt and the glaciers continue to melt then we could be looking at the extension of the polar bear, the disappearance of our glacier and mass ma flooding. Luckily they eat a lot of people keeping a close eye the sea levels and working on how to slow the warming of our planet. +Reading this was infuriating to me. To see such casual disregard for life, both of the animals and those protecting them, in pursuit of money. And for what? Snake oil cures in Asia, superstitious nonsense, and rich people wanting to feel powerful. The security teams seem like they're in an impossible position, restrained by rules while their opponents have none. It's a miserable situation +I know a lot of people refuse to believe the facts about climate change and some really don't care because they don't see how the problem directly affects them, but all you coffee addicts out there are going to cry a little shallow tear when your favorite cup-of-Joe goes extinct. The increase of the planet's temperature is adversely affecting coffee growth in areas where the plants have always thrived. Funny (not really at all funny), but more people will worry about their brand of coffee going extinct than about animal and plant species being constantly wiped out for good. +Hi N. Just wanting to talk to somebody and you as always you are the right person to reach to. I just read an article on the Matthew and the destruction it left in Haiti. I was overwhelmed and I almost cannot believe how many people were affected and not just that but they were suffering from all kinds of unimaginable things. Hunger was the first to list, there was a lot a starvation, people were poring from all over when aid was coming to bring them food aid with trucks. Disease was everywhere, doctors coming from all over the world had to face with cholera and disease. Infrastructure was damaged, homes destroyed. It is really hard to express in words all the suffering the people had to deal with. I feel like there should be something we should do to help. +Human traffickers must be some of the most loathsome people on this planet. Some may think they are doing good things trying to get people to a better place, but these traffickers do not see people and are wanting to help them. They see them as money, they take advantage of them and take every single thing they can from them while promising them a better life. They do not care about the safety of people and are just trying to maximize their profits. The only reason they wouldn't just get rid of the migrants out at sea after taking all their belongings is it may be bad for business. +I have no idea what any of that means but I wonder sometimes what it would be like to play a game that goes on over more than one day. Imagine if you could go back home and go to sleep at halftime of the Super Bowl and then come back the next day and play the second half. Maybe then the Falcons would have taken the 2nd half of that game against the Patriots more seriously. When I watched Lebron crush the Raptors I was kind of curious as to how they slept knowing a game was coming up. They probably felt scared, like they had a big test coming up and they didn't think they were prepared. +“The vast majority of battleground states have Republicans overseeing their election systems,” Moore told POLITICO last week. “It’s safe to assume they’re not rigging the process either against Donald Trump or for anyone else.” Meanwhile, Trump’s downward spiral has forced House Republicans to scramble to secure their once-safe majority and the difficult balancing act between Trump’s die-hard supporters and moderate independents has begun to take its toll on vulnerable Senate candidates like New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte. She trailed by 8 points in a poll released on Thursday, after polls earlier this month showed a dead heat. For the party that put Trump forward, the race has become less of a suspenseful thriller and more, to use a favorite Trump term, of a “horror show.” +I always feel bad when women talk about their experiences with sexual assault because you know how I feel about that but I want to put it into words anyway. I feel like it's always on the women to be the ones to hold men accountable and to report it and everything but I'm so frustrated by the fact that men won't take a bigger stand. Men should hold each other accountable for sexual assault and encourage each other not to do it instead of making jokes about it all the time. I'm just so frustrated by how there are so many stories of women that are suffering needlessly at the hands of these arrogant men and yet women have to endure a lifetime of trauma from it and men usually get away with a slap on the wrist, it really just makes me so sick to my stomach, I hate it so much. +it is about time that for profit education has had the breaks put on them. provide a substandard education at the students and government's expense in unconsionable. they should have been shut down years earlier. there are so many cheaper and better alternatives to obtaining and education. i don't feel sorry for them +Did you see what is going on with all those refugees? They are trying to cross over by water and a lot of them are drowning and there are record numbers for deaths from shipwrecks. Those poor people just want to get away and lead a better life and they all keep dying or continue to suffer. I really wish we could do something for them so they could all live better lives. +The previous article says that- Countless Acts Of Hate Have Been Carried Out Since Trump’s Win — Day one of Donald Trump’s America came with countless acts of hate that were carried out by his supporters against several of the country’s most marginalized groups. Day two was no different, nor the days following. Since Election Day, there have been more than 200 acts of election-related intimidation and harassment across the U.S., according to a survey by the Southern Poverty Law Center. People from all types of communities ― black, Latino, Muslim, Jewish, Asian, queer people, women ― have been physically harmed, slandered with hate speech or been the targets of racist graffiti. While we shouldn’t have to live in fear for our safety, Trump supporters feel more emboldened than ever to express +This is just sick. It kills me that this lady is a parent. I am more confused that the step-father had no idea. I doubt after moving to multiple houses that you would not have noticed something was off. I mean you never went into these closets? The biggest issue here though is that this woman thought she would rid herself of a problem because of social services checking in on her. It is disgusting. I am surprised the other kids survived. They all must have lived in fear of this lady. Makes me so mad people kill kids. +I just read about the Haitians who came here after the earthquake. While I wish we could help everyone we just can't. Only so many resources in this country and unless we want to become another 3rd world country we have to send them home. Make them wait in line just like any other legal immigrant. Why should they be given special privileges to be in this country. I hate to be mean but if you aren't here legally then you have to go home. +Ugh! I am literally sick to my stomach about all of these attacks. It's utter nonsense about how many people have been killed and for what?! Stupid preferences on what a someone believes a society should consist of?! It is disgusting. My heart really goes out to all those families and the doctors! Those doctors are tirelessly working to heal as many people they can and even by a dim light since the conditions around them are being torn to shreds. The amount of bravery to try so hard and keep the number of people dying as low as possible is amazing, to say the least. I really feel sad for the familes that have lost so many loved ones and that have been displaced. +Sally Brampton: Journalist killed herself after 'missed opportunities' — Sally Brampton, founding editor of Elle magazine in the UK, killed herself after health professionals "missed opportunities" to offer her help, an inquest has heard. Ms Brampton, 60, who wrote a Daily Mail advice column, drowned after walking into the sea near her home on 10 May. Hastings Coroners' Court heard she was "in crisis" in March 2016 and had sought help from a psychiatrist and GP. +As I read this article, I felt disturbed knowing that a sexual abuser raped his daughter for many years and the man who murdered him is getting punished for finally ending the torture involved in the girl's life. Of course, murder was wrong, but what that girl's father did to her was by far more unacceptable in my opinion. +So i just read this article on gold fish in the wild. Wow. I learned a lot. Apparently we have an overload of gold fish in our lakes and rivers, which is very bad for the fish and the earth. It's bad for the earth because it messes with the sediments as they swim low on the bottom. It is also bad for the fish because they aren't bread for the big waters. their bodies grow as big as a football and they can weigh up to 4 pounds. Some are not even healthy. They say the best way to get rid of healthy fish is to bring it back to the pet store and to not flush sick or dead fish. put them in an ice slush. this article was really sad and disturbing to read at the same time. +The indonisian government is not doing enough to protect some forest land. The orangantans who number seven fifty to seventeen fifty will be completly wiped out if the company that is clearing this land is allowed to continue. What can we do to form a protest or let the government know that this is not right.Can you help me with some ideas? Maybe we email the indonesian government first or attempt to call them. After that maybe we can plan to picket or have a demonstration at the capitol building voicing our concerns. Do you feel the same about this that I do? if you dont I will get someone else to help me or I will go it alone. I just feel so strongly that something productive needs to be done and fast. If we drag our feet they will have this land cleared before we can blink an eye. +Hey, take a look at this. Lots of conflicting information here, but it'd be awesome if there's any truth in this story. I hate to see when animals are in horrible conditions like that, though of course PETA always goes way too far with their involvement. Maybe that's why I'm not sure what's true and what's not in this article? +We had a squirrel that entered our building and it’s in our activity room and it’s jumping on people and biting them and scratching them,” a woman told the dispatcher, according to audio from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. “So we need help.” During the call, people in the background cried for help. “I feel lightheaded,” one person said. “I don’t feel good.” “Okay, does anybody there need an ambulance to take them to the hospital?” the 911 dispatcher said. “I don’t know if we need to go in an ambulance but we need some care for people here,” the staff member told him. “It’s still in there and the people are bleeding.” “Is everybody out of the room?” the dispatcher said. The caller asked others: “Is anyone left in the activity room? Is the activity room empty?” “There is another person +I think it's a shame that they made the employees create fake accounts in order to drive up the sales. What a shame. Why are they blaming the employees when it was those in higher positions who were forced into doing what they did. If they wasn't forced then it never would've happened. I feel sorry for the worker, but I would've quit before they had me do something fraudulent. +The company behind ITT Technical Institute, the chain of for-profit schools in the United States, will shut down all of its campuses following financial sanctions from the U.S. Department of Education. ITT Educational Services said in a statement Tuesday it would shutter more than 130 locations in 39 states. The move affects hundreds of thousands of current students and more than 8,000 employees of the ITT Technical Institute, known colloquially as ITT Tech, the company said. “It is with profound regret that we must report that ITT Educational Services, Inc. will discontinue academic operations at all of its ITT Technical Institutes permanently after approximately 50 years of continuous service,” it said in a statement on its website. A day later, ITT announced it would not enroll any new +You see this? Mostly this just pisses me off. America takes ten thousand refugees. Woopee. People are dying, and they need somewhere safe, and all we do is take ten thousand. And let's face it America's hands aren't clean in the middle east, or Africa. America has learned nothing from past wars. We should be providing help to get people out and a safe place for them to stay, but instead we just let them die, getting bombed in their cities and drowned at sea. So I'm angry about this. What kind of society have we become when we let this happen? America should be doing so much more, to help these people. It's callous to think ten thousand is somehow being responsible, being moral. They're just trying to find a safe place, away from the constant threat of death everyday, for themselves and th +I can't believe that there has to be so much violence and bad in the world. The part of this article that really got to me was that the Muslim women were being raped and that doctors and nurses who wanted to help the people there were being treated rudely. It would be awful to have to live under these kinds of conditions. It would be awful to have the prices of food go up because of blockades and other reasons. It would be stressful and scary. +Dear friend , How are you ? I heard that you fell down the stairs and broke your leg !! Are you ok ? Hope you are getting better . But seriously, what really happened ? Your mum told me that you were running and fell but I want to hear directly from you . I am coming to the hospital to visit you in an hour . That's my final decision. No one can change it , and yes because you didn't come to school today you missed a lot of work . Don't be too happy , you'll have to complete the work later +We really don't think of air pollution all that much in most of the country, but it seems to be significant problem in certain larger areas. Apparently India is having a lot of issues with it, and it's making people sick. It's really sad when places put more emphasis on businesses than they do on the health of the people. +I read a very disturbing article about a recent study on depression resulting from birth control drugs. The study was performed by the University of Copenhagen and has confirmed a link between hormonal contraceptives and depression. The study was extensive and performed over a decade. The incident of depression was magnified over 28% when taking the combination pill, and even went as high as 78% in the teenage population! Alternatives to the pill which are longer-acting such as the ring and implant were even higher scoring in depression. One outstanding take-away for me in this article is the fact that women are only fertile about six days per month as opposed to men who are basically fertile every day, and yet the birth control burden falls on women. Hopefully men will share that soon. +I feel sad when reading this story, as she lost her companion and that's just what some animals are to people their companion, not just a dog or a pet, it's a part of them. This man was wrong for what he did although he was justified because it was seen as self defense he definitely could have done something else before fatally shooting the dog and killing it. Unless the dog was charging at him and starting to bite him or bark at him he should have seen no threat at that time and I feel like this was a careless mistake and he didn't need to do so. +I am deeply disturbed by what I have read in this article. It seems that a man committed a senseless act of murder by pouring flammable liquid on an innocent bus driver and setting him afire. There is never an acceptable excuse for such an act. I can only guess that racism is the motivation for the act as the victim was a member of the Indian community. +While I think many of us are troubled with the recent relations with Russia and suspicion of rigging our US election, in cahoots with POTUS Trump and hacking, we need to sort through the details and make sure we are using facts when they are available. Suspicions are sometimes unfounded, my heart goes out to the agent's family. +This whole story of all the thirty three miners found dead is an unfortunate tragedy. Their loss is really going to affect their family, friends, and co workers for the company that they work for to. These type of losses could have been avoided if they received more help or they could have trained them more for incase any unexpected events that could occur like this one for example. +France has been through a lot of crap lately. Some terrorists stormed a newspaper office and killed some people; their have been bombings at the airports and train stations; and a little girl was among 90 killed during a concert at one of their local venues. As sad as this all is, the most distressing thing is that the country has decided to activate additional measures to ensure their democracy is maintained. This always seems to be the case during a time of great terror and unrest- most of which are incited by officials working within the government itself. +i feel like we need to do somthing about this problem that is going on we dont need moms overdoseing on drugs plus doing it while they are driving. maybe there is a program we could start to help these mom in need and the kids that they have should be taken care by someone else while they are getting the help that they need to get better and then they can get there kids back when they are able to take care of them +It always upsets me when I read articles about land conflicts involving Native American tribes, especially when it involves oil pipelines. I fully support expanding domestic oil operations so as to better establish energy independence, but care should be taken to respect the needs of others when developing pipelines. It may be expensive to ensure environmental care is taken and, when necessary, to reroute the pipelines to avoid encroaching on sacred lands, but that doesn't mean it's not worth the expense. +hello brother I hope you are well these days and thought a lot about you and more when I see the news I find out that Saudi Arabia is struggling to expand its territory no matter what this pado should take care of being there is very dangerous so be careful I hope you take care of yourself and think of us +Hey bro you been hearing about that shooting in Charlotte, N.C? Isn't that pretty messed up that all these police shootings and racial black lives matter approach to life and living day to day? I ready that 16 cops were injured due to a protest/standoff. I guess they say the cop shot the black man and he was even unarmed. Why so theey have to shot someone when they don't even have a chance to defend themselves. It is very sad world we all live in these days. No one can get along but shooting and fighting you best believe they can do all that. +i lof this article it has a variety teaching about science that banana is the world's most popular fruit crop, with over 100 million metric tons produced annually in over 130 tropical and subtropical countries in like a 1950s they used to grow banana this causes disease gets harder to control over time all this is done by professor of plant pathology at the University of California, Davis +This is probably one of the most distressing articles I have read in my entire life, I really do not understand how this is even happening. Over and over again, we are showing to the black people in our country that we do not have the heart or the brains to care about them enough. It just makes me so mad! +What a terrible tragedy! Accidents like this hit families so hard... and losing both a father and son this way! The poor family must be just beside themselves. It seems too, if one looks at the circumstances, that they were close and enjoyed doing things together. How very sad. The rest of the family must be just shaken to the core. Hopefully they are a tight knit group with support systems. I hate to hear about anyone in accidents, but this sort of thing is just too sad. +California has problems similar to Flint Michigan when it comes to providing clean water to everyone. While California passed clean water acts to remedy this, it has had trouble providing for the poor in unincorporated areas such as Methany Tract (sp?). But California has recognized that having access to clean water is a right for all people. Currently they are working on having a nearby city help provide clean water to the Methany Tract citizens. It really makes one wonder about all the damage already done, the health problems, the children, and it makes one wonder how many other places and other states need to have this resolved. +I just read an article about two US Military personals being shot in Jordan. I have so many emotions running through me. I am sad about the loss of lives. I am in disbelief. How could this happen? The article said they do not believe it was a terrosit attack so that makes me feel relieved, but still worried. US is there to assist Jordan for training. Why our are people being attacked?! The article said they failed to stop at the entrance so I do not know if maybe it was a miscommunication. I am confused to what actually happened. From what I read there was an attack on Jordan when they just drove and barralled through their border so they are on high alert. My heart goes out to all of those involved and I am sad. But why on earth would they think that the US military personal are planning +I feel sorry for this person's family. His children now have no father. You just never know what makes people commit terrible acts of evil. Life can be taken in the blink of an eye. You need to make sure all your loved ones know how much you care, do as much good in the world as you can, because you never know when your last day on this earth is going to be. +did you hear about the wolf that got shot by a government sniper in Idaho I think it was. He was a special wolf from a pack in California that was endangered and had a tracking device on him so they could monitor his movements. he had already traveled 700 miles looking for a mate, which is what wolves do when they come of age. They are trying to hold them accountable for the needless and cruel slaughter of wild animals. I forgot the name of the group. But I hope they stop them. Animals need more laws that protect them from evil garbage people. +So I just read an article about climate change, and it is awful. It seems very few people are trying to stop it and it is maddening. We need to take more control over the things that are being put into the air that could be causing such an atrocious thing. We need to start reusing things and switching to organically grown things, if possible. The oceans and lakes are suffering and eventually, we will, too. +The article I just read discusses how the US is driving the extinction of Amazon rain forest by importing Amazon oil. This story made me feel very upset. The world's rain forests are play a major role in our existence. Without them, we would probably no longer exist. It makes me feel like there are people out there that just care about making a profit. These people need to open their eyes to the bigger picture. +Did you know that the spread of cholera is so terrible? I had no idea this was still such a daunting issue so many people face. I agree with a line in the article that said "The idea that people are still dying in 2015 of cholera is outrageous.” I feel so heartbroken that people are dying simply because they don't have clean water and appropriate medical care. +Hey, did you know that Turtles are especially endangered because of people using them for food, exploiting them by selling and trading them, and they are dying because of pollution and damage to rivers and Lakes.. their resources and dwindling. The real worry isn't so much the problem with Global warming..they can stand that somewhat..the problem is we are damaging the planet and fresh water so rapidly they can not withstand it. More than 60 percent of Turtles and their Shelled brothers are in danger.. they are vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered. We should do something to stop this. These creatures sometimes live longer than us. How is it that we are allowing them to be maimed, eaten, and polluting their habitat?? We have to do better. What do you say we volunteer tog +Thomas referred the case to the full court, and shortly before midnight, the justices issued an order granting Arthur’s stay request. The order included a statement from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. explaining that while he did not believe this case merited a review from the Supreme Court, he had decided to vote for a stay anyway as a courtesy to his colleagues. Roberts wrote that four of the other justices had voted in favor of staying the execution. While it takes five justices to overturn a lower court ruling, it takes only four to accept a case. “To afford them the opportunity to more fully consider the suitability of this case for review, including these circumstances, I vote to grant the stay as a courtesy,” he wrote. Justices Thomas and Samuel Alito would have rejected the requ +Hey you hear about the Coffee Killer? In Indonesia some chick who is also Australian has been found guilty of killing her friend by putting cyanide in her coffee. I did not get too many details about all of the evidence that they have against her but to me at least it does not seem like they have that much evidence. I guess she ordered her friend a coffee before her friend got there and right after she took a sip of the coffee she keeled over and died. Pretty crazy, right? I think she probably did it but their motive is weak and I do not think that she would have been found guilty if the trial was going on in the US. +I hate when these type of things happen. I mean, we trust these people with our information, private information, and somehow it just gets hacked? Someone obtained it and now is threathing to sell it to the public? This is unbearable right now. They should have a secure way to protect the information we provide +The article was about New Global Warming study.warns: desert in Southern Spain in the future — Climate scientists from France shared a study this week about the possible grim future awaiting the country of Spain, and the Earth as a whole. They warned that if climate change continues, deserts in the Middle East will expand to the Mediterranean and even reach Southern Spain, transforming today’s deciduous forests into barren lands hostile for plants and animals, and of course including humans. Last year, hundreds of countries around the globe have signed a non-binding agreement. Known as the Paris Agreement, its main goal is to stop global warning by implementing and keeping long-term solutions. The target is to keep temperature rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit +I don't necessarily agree with this stance, as I feel Trump can help our country move forth and improve economically. While Trump wasn't my ideal President, he was the much better choice over Clinton. So, in my opinion, he was the better candidate. I feel like Obama was a joke as a President, and what did he really do during his 8 years of Presidency that he will be remembered for? ObamaCare? That isn't a positive in my opinion. So, I can't say that I really think Moore and I are on the same page, and we have a difference of opinions. +Tourist who claimed she was raped in Dubai is charged with extramarital sex — A British tourist allegedly raped by two men in Dubai faces jail after cops accused her of sex outside marriage. The woman, 25, claims she was attacked by two U.K. men last month. But when she reported it, she was locked up and charged with “extramarital sex”. She is on bail but is not allowed to leave and needs $30,000 for legal fees. +I really don't fully understand what's happening in this article. I get that the players need sleep and that's about it. Do you know much about what they're trying to say here? I have such little knowledge of sports that I struggle understanding the lingo associated with the sport. I can understand sleep though! +It's very unfortunate for both the wildlife and the communities that survive off of the meat that the rare animals provide. It's also sad how the police officers ran away which was I guess the main point of the person telling the story. That is very corrupt and wrong, they should have stood up for the Rangers being targeted. I think it's best if the wildlife is preserved and the community that attacked the Rangers were clearly out of line. +I wonder if this problems exists in the U.S. as well as the UK? This is a consideration, since we both have garden ponds. Maybe we should learn more about how to keep our ponds more sanitary for the frogs! I have noticed alot of frogs in mine, so this is interesting readying, anyway. This is just another way that humans interfere with the natural environment, I guess. +I read this article about what black people think. It is crazy that they still believe they are being targeted by the police. Can you believe in this day and age they still believe that. The difference between why more black people get shot is more of them do crimes. Add to the fact that black families tell their kids not to trust the police. Don't run, Don't fight back and do what the police officer says and you have a lot great chance of not getting shot. I can't stand these black people who feel like they have it so bad here. Let them try living back in Africa and see how they like that. +This is just crazy, you have to feel for the mother, but at the same time what kind of apartment has that many violations and is still not punished. They need to sue them and anybody involved with this. I cant believe that in today's society that tragedies like this are tolerated. Somebody needs to go to jail for the death of this little girl and the injuries that her mother suffered. I cant imagine what the mother is going through and she probably blames herself. Things like this should just not happen. +Hey D, I read this article about this boy who was abused and went through stuff with his family. I feel like I can really relate to him, having a mother who had their own addictions. I always knew people like him always come out on top because he went through so much to get the success that he is having today. I wanted to show this to you so that you don't give up either, no matter how hard the circumstances are. Love, A. +My heart hurts for those affected. I will be praying for the soldiers attacked and their families. As we approach memorial day, we need to reflect on what we have learned in past wars and one thing is clear, mustard gas is not a weapon that should be used, I understand that many of the attacks going on right now include Guerrilla warfare but we cannot fight back in the same ways. +Hey, I thought this was an interesting article about males born through medical fertilization. Apparently, these men are also more likely to suffer from the same problems as their fathers did with being able to have babies. It's sort of sad to think about it. The author suggest using a sperm donor instead, but I couldn't imagine doing that if I was in this situation. +The situation in Syria is really shocking. I just read an article about how the regime in power together with Russia is bombing schools and relief caravans. They deny it and Russia and China vote against sanctions at the UN. It's hard to understand what could be behind this outrage. Fortunately, there is Human Rights Watch which has done extensive and careful documentation of the most recent school bombing, and there is some effort to get individual acts treated as war crimes through UN channels. +I was sad to hear that a woman was critically injured Sunday evening in a multiple car wreck in the Clinton area of Prince George’s County. It seems like these things are becoming more common. At least the reporting of such accidents is more common. People should pay more attention to their driving. I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone involved was distracted by cellphone use. +Leonard Cohen just died. Knew little about him but now see Ill have to look into his songs and writing. He was the epitome of the starving writer, it seems. His popularity continued to grow as he aged, and he was able to reap some rewards, but it didn't really catch up with his needs until recent years. He was a Buddhist monk, too. Had no idea. He clearly raised the bar in song writing. +It is really sad this country is still having major issues with prejudice and inequality. Being a minority myself, I feel for the Muslims and others who faced terrible treatment just because of their heritage. I hope you don't have to experience these terrible things as they have. I would be really careful who you talk to just to be on the safe side. It is an unpredictable world we live in today sadly. +Man veterans need more help. This article talks about how a lot of Americans have problems, especially vets, with sleeping. I can imagine that this sleeping problem can carry over into so many other areas of their lives like at work and their interpersonal relationships. Even thought they weren't able to establish a specific link their has to be a link between PTSD and problems with sleeping given the huge consequences of PTSD. +This is such a sad situation for both the people and the elephants affected by all the coal mining. The world really needs to move forward to try to replace using coal as a means of energy, and replace it with something that is less harmful to humans, animals and the environment. It's not fair, especially to the animals, since they don't really benefit from the coal mining. +Water parks and amusement parks in general are just disasters waiting to happen. We truly don't know how dangerous some of these things are until something goes wrong. Then we all see what was so obvious yet impossible to see until pointed out. I am going to avoid these places like the plague. Plus life is too short to wait in lines. +I just dont have many feeling about this article. I guess i feel bad for the teachers but it doesnt exactly bother me. I am not too concerned with affairs in other countries unless it is about war or peace and political things. Packing up and having to move your live away in just a few days is very hard and i guess i feel some sympathy about that. +I think they should find out precisely what she did to that child for 3 years and do the same thing to her for 3 years. Since she is stronger, she will survive, then they can bring her back to complete health, then do it again for the next 3 years, then keep repeating it until she dies. I can't comprehend why people like this do these things, but there is a special place in hell. I don't buy the mental illness garbage. OF COURSE she has a mental illness, but that shouldn't automatically imply protection from justice. The very nature of murder, especially of this kind, requires a mental illness to a certain degree, so no pleading insanity. Torture her as she tortured that poor boy. +Wow how sad is this news? I'm glad that people rallied together to help those people at least. This really reminds me of when I lived in Texas and everyone was having their homes and land ruined by wild fires that went out of control. People lost everything but luckily everyone really teamed up to help each other. +It seems pretty suspicious to me that a machine that was off could just turn itself back on. I'm sure somebody either accidentally turned it on or do it on purpose. That sounds like a really awful way to go though being crushed like that. They better come up with some better safety requirements to make sure that doesn't happen to anybody ever again. +Expert from an article I just read on the climate talks: "Mediterranean region would see changes never experienced during recorded history. Morocco could see increased temperatures and drought that would drive the southern deserts further north, displacing forests. Deserts would expand in the Middle East, pushing temperate forests higher into the mountains. Average temperatures in the region have already risen by 1.3°C since the late 19th century, well above the world average of 0.85°C, according to the study." And we are still arguing over coal as a fuel source so that the billionaires can make more billions. Read the rest, it's distrubing what will come to those who suffer through what has been created. +I saw some heartbreaking news and I could not believe it. Why would defenseless and innocent people be killed over something that they did not do or had no involvement with? I will never understand why some things in this world are the way that they are. There needs to be change but sadly I do not think we will see it soon. +This is another story of government overreach. Big government pushed by authoritarian leftists making a big deal over nonsense and holding back human progression in the name of hippy bullshit. If a species is endangered it deserves it's fate. More species have went extinct in the time before humans existed than in our entire existence. It's a non problem and just how the world works. +Climate change is extremely worrisome. And it is getting worse and worse every year. Something has to be done about it, and I think it starts with getting rid of corporate contributions to politicians and getting rid of lobbying. The world is dying and I think that needs to be clearly communicated to as many people as possible. Too many CEO's are thinking about their own profits. The system needs to limit their power and start focusing on the health of the species and the planet instead. +Hey guys check this article out. I was talking to about this sleep paralysis thing. It's such a scary event I do no wish upon anyone. I've experienced it in the past and is no fun. Some people hear voices, others see ghosts or the likes. I hope you guys never have to experience such a thing. It's good thing to know that it has a medical term and is not sometihng actually paranormal. +It's almost funny because I was looking at something really similar to this on Steve Wilkos, that a baby got hurt after pushing through a window screen and Steve was yelling at her and saying how she was so negligent and a bad mom but I honestly think that it's not the parents fault. Sometimes accidents just really so happen and kids are curious and they climb and then accidents happen. It's really upsetting for all of those involved and I really feel for the mom in this case because she just lost her kid and she probably blames herself enough as it is. She doesn't need society talking badly about her from behind closed doors. Accidents are just accidents and it can happen to anyone, although I think that everyone can agree that it's a really sad situation overall. +I just read another story about American soldiers deaths at the hands of terrorists. What upsets me the most about reading it is thinking about their families. I wonder if they had children that will have to grow up without them. I think about wives and their parents and how those peoples' lives have now changed forever. I think about how upset I would be if my son grew up to join the military. I would be a mess. +These pellet guns almost seem like they were meant to maim individuals, under the guise of a less-lethal round. The fact that the ammunition seems to have been modified to cause more damage, more permanent damage, seems to back that up. It's a travesty that such violence is being committed, such life changing violence. These people are not dying, they're being irreparibly harmed, altered, changed for the rest of their lives. More people should be talking about the use of such "non-lethal" weapons. Can't the local force exercise some restraint, some humanity? It's confusing, because I can't think of any reason other than harm someone would introduce maiming pellets as such as the case here. +Floyd Mayweather owes a jewelry store some money. It seems like it's the richest people in the world that always find some excuse either not to pay taxes or not to pay someone money that is owed. He has all that money, and he has to be sued to pay for something that he could have easily paid for in full upfront. People like him are ridiculous. There are so many people out here starving, and here he is sitting in his mansion not paying for something he bought. +IT's sad to hear about dead fish, but that's what happens sometimes. We can try to figure out what's going on and make a plan to stop, but nature is going to always come out ahead no matter what. nature always has its balance and you can't stop that from happening. If you do attempt, you're just going to cause more propblems than what it's worth and nature will still rule in the end. +Before reading this article I use to think that Flint was the only major water problem and I know that people have more on, but Flint is still having a water problem. I'm mad that California is the only state to pass laws for people to have rights to clean water. I know California has water issues with drought, but nobody should go with out clean water. Reading the article, reminds me that this is a world wide issue and we must figure a way to provide fresh and clean water to everyone. Especially those in need. +Hey, I just read this insane article about the situation in Aleppo. I didn't even realize how bad it was. People are dying and have no hope for the future. It really makes me appreciate everything I have in life and the article makes all my problems seem so trivial and insignificant by comparison. Anyway, you should check it out. +I just read an article about Kesha and how she was pressured into losing weight by not eating and "dumbing down" the content of her songs. It's pretty messed up that this is what goes on in the entertainment/music industry. At the same time though, she is an adult and she had the choice to go along with this or not. She cashed in and got a lot of fame. I can't say I really feel that sorry for her. If it was me I would have just said, "no" and moved on. She had the ability to speak up, but she didn't because she wanted fame. +We need to be more considerate of climate change, its effects are too dangerous to ignore. Because of this, it's easy to recognize the moral imperative we have to fulfill our obligations to society. We would be remiss to deny these exact warning signs, and we know that scientists have dedicated their entire lives towards the subject of climate change. We should heed their collective warning immediately. +i feel that racism is still alive today and it is a big problem people need to realize that color doesnt matter and that we are all humans with feeling and no one person is better than the other reguardless of the color of there skin. there should be stronger laws helping fight racism also teaching kids that its not ok to call people names just cause of there skin color. we need to work as a nation to fix this problem +A mayor and his bodyguards in the Philippines was shot and killed by local law enforcement. He was in to the illegal drug business. He was elected to take a stance against drugs. It's really weird to think that a mayor was the one taking part in the illegal drug trade. It makes me wonder who can you really trust. He was said to be a narco-politician. Sad to think the people can't even trust his own mayor. +How disgusting is Wells Fargo? It's unbelievable the way they treated their tellers, and all those fake accounts? Can you even? I don't understand how this bank doesn't get shut down. You really should think about getting an account with a different bank, you know. What if your SS got used to make some of those accounts? +I feel bad for the teachers but there are so many teachers in this country that I would like to see expelled. It is amazing how much power Turkey has. I do not really understand this power but it must be difficult to pack up your life so quickly. I can't imagine having to do that. How does anyone start fresh when they were expelled. You would always feel like it is going to happen again. +So what can we do when genocide occurs in different parts of the world? Does prayer help? Will war help or hurt more? When people do not get along, not because of a shortage of food or water, but rather because a belief system is not universal, that is a human tragedy. Saudi Arabia and Iran are prime examples of animalistic behavior at this point in time. We here in America pretty much killed off the American Indians because we wanted the land. Nothing different is happening in the Middle East. We always hear that might makes right but that's not truly the case. Might makes blight and generations suffer till most of it is forgotten. The moral is too learn from our mistakes and the bad aspects of what history tries to teach us . +I can't imagine what it must have been like for the people who were caught up in this, how helpless they must have felt. Not having any recourse for so long, no one doing anything to right the wrongs, just feeling like it's ok for you to be abused and for it to go on for so long and happen to so many people. Maybe they feel some kind of closure now though. +I have such tender feelings for all these poor women that are being raped. American women are freaking out left and right about such minor things when we have these poor women being raped and tortured for no reason at all other than who they affiliate with. This stuff is so ridiculous and it adds such a mysterious cloak to it because western journalists aren't really allowed in myanmar. It just seems other wordly that all this violence and just chaos is going on. Not really even that far away, sure it's the other side of the planet but these crimes and disrespect of human rights is happening one way or another. What would you do in the situation if you were one of the innocent people stuck in the middle of it? +I feel like there is so many people out there that are less fortunate then us, we need to take a second to see how people feel about themselves and the situations they are in and the people around them. I feel like the person writing this has gone through alot in his life and this all just adds into the fact of everything else +If people had to see how their food was killed, there's a good chance they wouldn't want to eat it. Between a live chicken and the package you buy at the grocery store lies a world of torture. The inhumane way some of our food, particularly chicken, makes it's way to our dinner plate is beyond disturbing. Factory farming is simply another word for animal torture. +it is frightening to learn about all these shark attacks but these surfers should be aware of the risks associated with the sport. relocating the sharks should be a priority and it would be in the best interest to establish a moratorium on water sports until the shark epidemic is dealt with. closing beach in australia is a good precautionary method +Hey, Zambia is protecting elephants on a massie refuge type area! They are fighting off poaching and that sort of stuff. Which is great! But I had no idea that the elephants are destroying a lot around the. They have even killed people! Sad huh? Also elephants will wipe out a farmers entire plants and food! That is really bad. They feel like their government care more about the animals than the people! I think they should provide some fencing. That is ridiculous to let people suffer all because they won't put up some barriers to block the elephants. +Seriously, timeshares?! I cannot believe it is even an issue for someone to get relinquish their timeshare. These companies seem to want to be your best friend to get you to buy a timeshare, but once you do they do not care about you, your family, or what situation your life is in. They make it hard to get rid of because most of their customers are older people who don't always want to go through the hassle. These people need assistance because the timeshare companies make it too hard to get rid of. Although they may say that they have an easy process to relinquish, but after undercover investigations, that proved to be wrong. If someone bought something like this for their family to enjoy but now their family is grown and gone, why should they have to continue with it? +I just read this article about trees dying across the country and I can't understand why more people aren't concerned about this. If we lose our trees we lose everything. It makes me crazy that people aren't paying attention and could care less about the snowball effect that is happening because of climate change. Because of us! +Did you hear the story about the orangutan named Diana? She was illegally captured with, I think, three others. These animals are becoming extinct. The good news is, though, that she was saved. When she was found she was blind and partially paralyzed, due to meningitis, I sure because she wasn't being taken care of. I don't understand how people can treat these beautiful animals so poorly. It really make me sad. +After reading this article, I had to write you and share it with you. You see, we aren't just crazy parents telling our children to slow down every chance we get. These young men were out doing something they absolutely loved and doing it with their closest friends, and now they don't have the opportunity to grow old and continue to enjoy many more things to come. They were so young and had their whole lives ahead of them. I can't imagine how their families are feeling right now. Hug your little ones a little tighter tonight. +well first of all whoever wrote this article doesn't know how to properly divide an article into paragraphs, which made reading this article extremely painful, but nonetheless I do know after reading the article that Zika virus tend to stay in semen and vaginal fluid for extended amount of time, so it's obvious don't mate with people who have zika virus, and don't even think about having a baby, they're going to be defective +After reading an article about the fraud happened years ago, I am now traumatized with easily trusting people. It is indeed a nightmare for all the victims to be involved in this kind of problem. It is a challenge to trust people again and invest your money on something. It is always good to know your rights before giving away the so called "trust". +Did you hear about this kid who lost his leg because a teacher body slammed him? Obviously I don't know what exactly happened but from the news report he was acting up and the teacher decided to use physical restraint. Supposedly in this county of Georgia teachers can use physical restraint on students if they are disobedient and a threat to students and others. I think its safe to say there was fault on all sides. The kid should of behaved himself, the teacher shouldn't probably shouldn't of been as excessive and the school should of handle the whole situation better. What do you think? +Whos mother would wish their child dead over being blind. That has to be one of the worst things I have read in quite some time. I have a very hard time digesting that the mother could overcome her daughter's death over her blindness, she clearly has some things that she needs to work out because while being blind is not ideal the girl can and will overcome her injury. It is truly unfortunate that they live n a place where the need to "own" land comes at the cost of this girls eyesight. It seems to me it was in an effort to reduce killing that these pellets were used and a horrible accident that injured her. +This was a terrible tragedy gone wrong, and honestly I don't really know if there was something that could be done about this before the event even happened? How did this man get into the airport with a gun? Was it because he did not pass through security before shooting this man or because he chose not to? I don't think something like this should have happens and being an airport i definitely don't think this should have happened at all assuming all the security that they do have in place how was this to happen? +well well well, look at what we have well, the arrogant Kim Kardashian finally got what she deserves: being robbed for millions, the thought of it is bitter, considering it's a robbery after all, but think the other way, a rich superfluous gal as Kim, broadcasting her belongings on social media, I guess she brought this upon herself +France Dismantles 'The Jungle' in Calais — A small camp in Calais, France, housing nearly 8,000 migrants hoping to cross into England, is being evacuated and torn down in what French authorities are calling a “humanitarian” operation. The migrants, fleeing their homes in Africa and the Middle East, are being relocated from the camp known as “the Jungle” to centers across France. Some have decided they do not want to leave, and protests have resulted in fires burning through tents, trailers, shacks, and makeshift shops in the camp. The dismantlement operation is expected to last for a week. +It hurts to know that those children may have lost their parents in their ordeal and that they may be put into the "system" where they're passed around multiple families before they find a loving home. I wonder if they have relatives that might be willing to take them in. I wish the article had been more informative and told a more comprehensive story about what happened and why the children were spared when three adults were killed. Perhaps there was a spat between the adults involved and the children ended up witnessing a traumatic incident. Either way, no good comes out of this entire situation. +we have to become aware of climate change. This problem belongs to everyone and if we ignore this problem, it will become irreversible. We will not have anything to inherit from our children. Let us support campaigns for the conservation of the environment and the use of renewable energy. The politicians only watch over the interests of the companies and not of the individuals. +It a tragedy when the people who are their to protect and serve us are gun down for no reason. My heart goes out to both families in this situation. It totally is unfair to die for no reason because of a selfish and ill man. It is really upsetting that this man just decides to kill police officers that are on duty to protect us from danger. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading a very upsetting and tragic article. It told the story of a young teenage girl in India named Insha Mushtaq. She lost her vision and 14 years old because she was shot repeatedly with pellets. She has been in and out of hospitals for months trying to regain her vision, but so far it has not been successful. She is trying to stay positive now but she knows that she has a difficult road ahead of her. I hope that she regains her sight. +This crash is so sad to hear about. It involves such undeserving people, and it does not sound like it was even the bus driver's fault. These people were just trying to get to where they need to be, and then something terrible happened. It is very sad and could happen to anyone at anytime. YOu never know what might go wrong in this world. +This seems like a conspiracy reach, but the medical exams were either lying or the bodies were really never examined. The Poles have a reason to distrust Russia- Russia does itself no favors, no country in the World should trust them-, they have a long history of conflict. The reason we had Polish jokes in America a few decades ago started with Russian racism towards Poles. +I had no earthly idea that Michael Douglas had battled oral cancer. I found out in an article talking about a remark he apparently made regarding Val Kilmer, who ostensibly also may or may not be battling oral cancer. Setting aside the absurdity of the media relaying a he said-she said moment with no relevance to the greater world beyond the individuals to whom it applies, it is terrifying to think how prevalent cancer is. +Can you believe what this family has done to these girls? They have treated these children so heinously. It is insane that the police wouldn't do anything until they were basically forced by the media. I can appreciate things that happened later to help these girls but this so unfair. This breaks my heart. +I just read an article about Wells Fargo in particular, but really it's probably happening at many banks. I know you've seen the people when you're out in public who are trying to get you to open a new account and you know they're just doing it to make some sort of commission. Well, come to find out Wells Fargo just discovered 80,000 phony accounts that must have been opened to fulfill branch quotas. Aren't these the institutions we'e supposed to trust with our money! I understand they don't think it's a big deal because out of millions it was only 80,000, but I find it extremely concerning that the higher ups down know what's really happening in day to day operations. It took 5 years to discover this. What else could be happening that we don't know about?! +Did you hear about the 3 year old that climbed into the gorilla enclosure and was dragged around by the gorilla. The zookeepers had to shoot the gorilla. Apparently, there were no problems with the barrier. I'd like to know how the little boy got in there. Based on what I read, I don't really take issue with the zoo or the gorilla. The barrier was at the right standard, and the gorilla did what a gorilla is going to do if something like that happens. I place the blame on the parents who somehow let their 3 year old child climb into a gorilla enclosure. Were they not paying attention? +Knowing how you love animals, I thought you would like to read about the Four Paws removal of the surviving animals in a Gaza Strip zoo. First of all, the zoo was horrid. Less than 20 animals remained of the hundreds that had been previously housed here. The rescue of the animals occurred under rather harrowing conditions with Hamas and Israeli forces launching missles during the evacuation process. It sounds as though the surviving animals will end up in different locations that deal with their specific species. They will be rehabilitated and may eventually be released back into the wild. Let me know what you think. +Here's one more great reason to never allow Sharia law into the US in any way, shape, or form. This is commonplace in the Arab world, where women are treated essentially as slaves or worse, while men can do anything they want and get away with it. What a terrible sense of "justice" or "law". This poor women would've, at best, been scarred for the rest of her life just on the grounds of being raped by multiple men. I can only imagine how traumatic this is for her when she's thrown in jail after being the victim of a horrible crime! Disgusting! +I can't even begin to put myself in the shoes of someone who has to deal with preparing to die half a dozen times, and then once again, it's halted, because people above him argue over semantics. Yes, he did do something wrong, and deserves what he is given, but bureaucracy goes a little too far in how much they can control a persons feelings and life. +There are many orphaned children around the world. International displacement is a huge problem that seems to be causing a lot of separated families. These children are having to go to orphanages, shelters, and other temporary placement in order to seek refuge. These children range in age from young to teenagers. +I had heard about the huge fires burning in the Indonesia area and the haze clouds they are producing but I didn't realize it was so bad. Apparently there is a statistical study that says 100,000 people have been killed by this. The researchers tried to count "early deaths" and got that figure. I suspect the root problem is corruption. Some of the business owners in Indonesia and Malaysia are extremely rich and can act with impunity, even though their actions cause great harm to the environment and to humans near and far. Maybe they should be charged with crimes for the deaths. On the other hand I dislike the idea of people being convicted of crimes via statistical analysis. It is too easy to manipulate. +Hello friend, I was distressed reading the article about the bankruptcy of American Apparel. However, it is clear that there were so many problems with the company, including the CEO, that the company has been doomed for a while. It's a shame the company was so poorly mismanaged. Maybe if they had a different CEO, they would have been able to survive. +I'd like to say that a comedy of errors has taken place. It seems our friend Gil got himself into trouble without doing anything wrong. His identity was stolen and then later he was mistakenly identified as the wrong person. Society needs to do a better job of providing enough resources for the "accused" to ensure that the perpetrator doesn't get a free ride while the accused seems to lose everything. We do live in a society where supposedly you are innocent till proven guilty, right? How can one lose a drivers license and a job without 100% proof on the table? Technology should be brought to bear to ensure that everyone is held harmless till all the facts are in. Is this achievable in our time? I believe yes if the right companies and government assets are brought in early enough. +It will never end, we will made to feel guilty about anything we enjoy. Not to mention that the "scientists" have regularly been shown to be fudging the climate change numbers. They don't want you to know that but want you to feel bad for having a cheeseburger. I don't like the cutting down of rain forests and believe that needs to end, but I think there are other answers. Getting rid of a great food supply is not one of them. Eating meat keeps us healthy and strong and may be the reason our brains grew to the size they did. Many politicians would want our brains to start getting smaller and more compliant. Getting rid of meat is not the answer and if we didn't waste time we could think of better solutions. +This whole article is a little sketchy, it seems like they're hiding stuff. This article, if you want to be really cynical and skeptical, makes it sound like the kids might be responsible for the deaths of the parents. It seems like a pretty vague article, I wish we had more information on this incident. +I don't think that it is fair to compare President Trump to Nazi Germany or the holocaust. I am not a fan of President Trump by any means, but I also have not once thought about comparing him to such a horrific part of the history of this world. Jews should not be worried that there will be another holocaust or that they will have to go back into concentration camps. I don't think the country would ever let that happen again, and I don't think that Donald Trump would go down that road either. He has a tendency to act like a child, but that would be a far stretch, even for him. +Just one week after Michael Bublé and wife Luisana Lopilato announced that their 3-year-old son, Noah, has cancer, Bublé’s friend and mentor David Foster gave an update on how the singer is coping.I think Michael, right now, is in a huge bubble, as you would expect when this happens. Everything shuts down around you,” the composer told Entertainment Tonight Canada later adding that Bublé will not sing again until his child is well.I’m certain of it he saidMany fans have reached out to the singer through social media, and Foster said that a few have contacted him wishing to extend their well-wishes and resources to Bublé. Though the diagnosis is heartbreaking, Bublé is “in good shape. +Hey, I wonder if this crash is related to terrorism. I bet it was. Seems like big accidents nowadays has something to do with terrorism. You got any family from Delaware? I don't. There is one thing I know, that I don't want to die in a vehicle accident. That has to be terrible. I guess if it's instant death then it's okay. I just don't want to suffer for a long time. I hope the people taken to the hospital are okay. +Wildfires in the western area of North Carolina, in the Appalachian mountains, can get so large they can be seen from space. In fact, some of the wildfires in neighboring southern states can produce enough smoke to cover areas of South Carolina. Despite not actually having a fire there, the smoke can get so thick that it takes heavy rain to make it dissipate. +Why would anyone, let alone a group of 10-15 teenagers feel the need to attack an innocent person? Chase them down and hurt them and than steal their wallet? What in the world are these parents doing? My mother would have killed me herself if she ever found out I was treating anyone that way. As far as any by standers that were possible in the area, I truly hope that they came forward and these individuals were arrested and detained. They are obviously a dangerous group of kids, who know right from wrong, but for some reason, they don't think the law applies to them. +What I learned about this situation was that sometimes life is not fair. Seeing this boy trapped in a place for 4 days is terrible. His poor body tried to survive and grab on for dear life but children are not exempt from this life. To think about that kid in that positiion makes me sad. His family is the one that suffers unfortunately. +Renewable energy is something that is very important. I am extremely loyal to the idea of renewable energy and need to develop a capacity to sustain my energy use. I am often the one to turn lights out unplug things, and etc. when I leave a room. I hate to have high energy costs when there is also a great amount of natural sunlight to be used. If you have a huge bay window in your bedroom for example just use that to read or do whatever activity you would like to do. +he government of Kenya this week revealed that it has accepted the request of the office of the UNHCR Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, to extend the deadline for the completion of repatriation of Somali refugees and eventual closure of the world's largest refugee complex, by six months.i will speak my friend +It's really unfortunate that North Korea doesn't seem able to help their citizens during a natural disaster. Hopefully some other country is willing to step up and offer assistance, although I don't know how that works since they don't really let people in. It must be pretty devastating if they are resorting to asking for outside help. +When will this world learn that rape is wrong, regardless of the context? Too many women are treated as an object, then punished by the system afterward. Some would say it is because of the religious beliefs in the area but America is no better. In our own backyard women can be raped and forced into carrying the baby to term as the father has "rights." Something needs to be done, and the British government needs to step in a help his woman. +The extinct of Rhino species had hope for survival species. There will always be Hope, for this iconic rhino will live on in everyone’s hearts and in STS’s mission of Creating Hope from Hurt. no one not stop the fight to save your species from extinction and will unite to end poaching and the illegal Rhino Horn & Ivory Trade worldwide +I read an article about this man who contracted a flesh-eating bacteria and almost died from it, unfortunately it didn't tell me where or how he contracted the flesh eating bacteria. I'm not sure I would know in time that I had a flesh eating bacteria, scary right!?! Have you ever known anyone or heard of anyone Contracting a flesh eating bacteria? +This story makes me sick to my stomach. I hate reading things about where my food comes from. It's bad enough to know that i am eating an animal but to know it suffered makes it worse. While the story is about the the suffering of an animal at the end of it's life it seems to ignore the suffering that the chicken goes through 99.9% of the time it is alive. This kind of story makes me want to go vegan. +I find it really amusing how Zika has been around since 1947 and not much fuss was made about it until it began killing people stateside. As usual, Black bodies are not valued or the conditions surrounding them until the same things begins to plague white people. Zika was minimized and downplayed for over sixty years. That says alot. +This is a very interesting article that focuses on this woman jet pilot, she was one of a kind. her heroic acts were recognized by those who knew her. the author portrays her as a hero and someone who should be remembered. once you finish reading this article you'll understand lots of things you did not before +This is what happens when you take in people from an archaic civilization. All of these refugees need to be throw back into their mud pit. Their religion embraces hatred. Let them figure out how to live in peace in their own countries, then we can allow them into civilized world. Is it is now, I think all of Europe is doomed. +It's so sad to see that world hunger is still such a large issue in other countries, especially when it seems like so much of our food goes to waste. Children passing out in the streets simply because they have no food to eat is heartbreaking. No one should have to suffer simply because they can't afford food. There needs to be another option. +You know I love animals, of all kinds, so let me tell you about. This poor creature was found half dead, mangled beyond belief because of poachers. Hope's story really brings to light the horrible and illegal trade of rhino poaching. I don't know if you know, but some people value rhino horns more than the beautiful creatures they come from. I don't believe the initial attack on Hope was responsible for her death, but it brought this beautiful creature into the spotlight, and I'm very glad for hearing of her story and saddened by her passing. +Erving Goffman, a sociologist and writer, compared how actors withheld their emotions to the everyday individual. Like actors, individuals can control how the emotions are expressed, but they cannot control their inner emotions or feelings. Inner feelings can only be suppressed in order to achieve the expression one wants people to see on the outside. Goffman explains that emotions and emotional experience are an ongoing thing that an individual is consciously and actively working through. Individuals want to conform to society with their inner and outer feelings. +The situation in Yemen with the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthi rebels is one with a lot of controversy, and for good reason. This conflict is rife with airstrikes and drone strikes that drop on civilians and militants alike. Qatar is culpable in the slaughter of citizens, which puts them firmly against the Geneva Conventions. Of course, I do not celebrate the loss of their soldiers' lives, as their families back home are just regular citizens as well in all likelihood. +It really is too bad that this had to happen. The internet will never let them forget. I'm sure the zookeepers feel awful about what has transpired. After all, They are probably all great lovers of animals and you and I know that it is never easy to see a poor animal die. I wonder if there were things to be done that could have prevented this or if I am just thinking with insight. +Did you hear about the airstrikes in Yementi? I can't believe it. i would have been petrified! Forty three people were killed, but could be up to sixty.. The bodies were just laying everywhere.and they were covering them with blankets. This is just one count of those that died. Since the battle has been going on they say over 10,000 people have died from this conflict, many just innocent civilians. I can't imagine being in that situation. +Hello, I feel very bad about Yu's death, she was so young and already a very accomplished person. I do believe she was very aware that her flying career had inherent risks that could ultimately cause her death. It angers and saddens me that people would undermine her role a female fighter pilot by making rude remarks stating there are other more accomplished women flyers. +Hey friend. Did you hear about this weird terrifying story of some british banker who wanted seemed to want to copy the American psycho movie? He murdered two women and if not for them panicking, they would have been tortured. He was a sick depraved individual. I don't know how people like this live in our society. They are all hidden under the surface. +It's good that they didn't have to hurt the emu. Every time I hear about one of these animal escapes I get the feeling that someone is going to end up killing the animal; I expect either an officer with legal authority or some stupid maniac with a gun who wants to kill something exotic is going to end up shooting it. I thought I saw a wild bird like run across the road one morning when I was driving to work. It wasn't big enough to be an emu but it was similar. I was worried that someone was going to kill it, whatever it was. +Have I conveyed my misanthropy fully yet. Read this for a laugh. This is what journalists are doing. We have an orange monkey destroying our nation and people spend time writing about something as meaningless as this. A guy died. Terribly sorry. Happens thousands and thousands times a day. Because this guy was an idiot it gets written up to feed the idiotic interests of the sheep. +Here is an article I just read about an accident at an amusement park in Australia. I've never heard of Dreamworld, have you? But the ride sounds like the old Shoot the Rapids we used to ride on at Cedar Point. In this case, the boat tipped over and people got trapped in the conveyor belt. I can't even imagine what the last moment of those people's lives must have been like. As for the kids who saw it all happen-- there are no words! At least none of the children died in the accident. But now they have lost a parent. One of those kids was just a baby. Now she will never know her mother. I never thought about rides failing when we were kids and used to go to amusement parks, but now I would probably not ride on any of that stuff. +I really think racism is getting out of hand lately. I don't understand why people have to commit hate crimes against people that they aren't similar to. Everyone deserves to live a happy life without being assaulted or worried that they'll be assaulted. And chalking it up to religion is even worse. People don't have to be so easily offended these days, but they are, and they're hate filled while they're offended too. +People are up in arms over Trump not believing in climate change. Withdrawing from the Paris treaty supposedly will contribute to global warming, along with doing away with the clean air act Obama passed while in office. There's so much involved with climate change its hard to tell what is fact. States are taking measures into their own hands to the extent they can I guess. +I don't know who Leon Russell is, but maybe you do? Apparently he passed away in his sleep. I haven't heard of the guy, but he sounded like quite the musician. Anyways, he passed away at 74 years old, which is a long life. The article I read stated he had some health issues, unfortunately. Poor guy. I hope he passed peacefully. +You know I love playing devil's advocate and having random views on things. Well here's another one of my crazy ideas so prepare yourself. I think that the Mayor of Sacramento is blessed that's all that happened to him. Yes he may be upset and a little shaken, but he still gets to go home to his family and enjoy his wealth. He doesn't lose his job and he isn't majorly damaged. I would easily take a pie in the face if afterwards I was a rich white man who still had supporters behind me. +It is a sad world when lives are threatened daily. let's remember when we here in America were fighting each other during the civil war. war is hell whether you are on the "right" side or the "wrong" side. Both sides invariably lose something. Does it make sense to have war? Is it a human condition that we will never be able to contain? I know these are open ended questions but are we like the herds of animals that migrate and take over others' territories when food and water are needed. I believe we can be better by accepting our differences and finding common ground for the welfare of all. +If you hear a ringing in your occasionally, don't be too alarmed. If you hear it persistently for quite some time, I would be slightly worried and definitely more alarmed. This could mean that you eventually lose your hearing. Tinnitus is a common thing to experience and usually is nothing. But sometimes this can be an early sign that you could lose your hearing. I strongly encourage people to go and get this checked if they experience frequently and definitely educate yourself on it. +People who take advantage of and endanger animals are the worst criminals in existence. Animals are defenseless and unable to do anything other than be confined and taken advantage of. This article shows the unfortunate process after animals are confiscated and taken away from these dangerous people, but there is no global consensus on the proper sequence and handling of these animals. +It sounds like someone didn't do their job at all in dealing with this housing complex. It sounds like a horrible situation but not a surprising one in a lot of these countries that lack housing laws and standards and accountability. I really hope they are able to rescue anyone still alive but trapped. On a weird note, what was with the blurb about the chicken? That was random. +I canot believe that there are citizens in this county, particularly in Minnesota, who are vulnerable enough to be manipulated by ISIS to kill individuals in their country. The Somali group in Minnesota has a history (several known cases) of people attempting to commit murder for the terrorist group. Tragically, an Somali man has just gone on a murder spree. He has not been linked to ISIS and his motivations are unclear, but I am disturbed. +I'm glad Germany is trying to help a lot of refugees when other countries (ahem the US) are trying to get out of helping people. However if they're going to have that reputation they need to be prepared to deal with the number of individuals who will try to come. It feels like so many of the problems these refugees are running from have been created at some point due to US/European colonization and intervention, so I'm glad they're at least trying. +I felt extremely bad and horrible for the child that fell down like that. I also felt very sad and disturbed when they found him dead about four days later. The poor child should have been taken care of more and looked after so that nothing would have happened to him then. I think that this whole thing is such a horrible tragedy and that it also could have been prevented as well. +Wow, it is scary to think there are mice that are twice their normal size hunting down and killing birds! It must be one scary place there right now with all that carnage. I hope Keith can make his plan come alive and stop the invasion of the mice. My concern is if they start getting off the island and migrating to other places. I live far away in America, but I sure don't want to run across these giant bird-eating mice. No thanks! +The upsurge in violent deaths is a troubling and terrifying prospect to face, based on the FBI's statistics. It's not a good measure of a society's health to see such dangerous statistics. We need to be doing everything we can to help mitigate this crisis. As for the collision of buses inside the Lincoln Terminal? That was another terrible tragedy which could've been avoided had the proper course of action been taken. +Wow...what a strange turn of events in this story. This guy who just randomly opened fire on a police officer turns out to be responsible for a number of homicides in Alaska. It's crazy to think that if the officers never confronted him for something unrelated, that there could have been countless more killings. +Environmentalism at its core is a racket. The leaders will use whatever methods to tie nature together to guilt you into accepting higher and higher taxes towards cost of living while majority of this money goes towards these non-profit organizations that help them push thier agenda. These environmental groups are only capable of gutting thier own people and will not address the larger oil buyers such as China or any other third world nation that is burning coal. By raising the cost of oil isn't going to stop Saudi Arabia or Russia from pumping oil, its all a racket to control the power supply and tax the people. +Hi, I just read an article about a sue concerning an apartment, and it got me thinking. Why do people never do research before signing any papers? It really is not that big of a deal or a difficult thing to do, this should be something basic to do, you know? It just troubles me how far things can go just because people do not really read! +This article is very, very, eye-opening and interesting to read about the the seven biggest threats that President Trump poses to the environment. I think with President Trump backing out of the Paris Agreement and not really focusing a little bit of more efforts on global warming, there can be a big problem in the future. +The Japanese that made up the restriction stating that you could not apply makeup while on the train are completely out of line. It is not up to them to dictate whether a man or woman can use their commute time to apply makeup. There needs to be mass protests, but we know there will not be as it is not in their nature. +I'm sorry to hear what happened to the people in the pulse shooting. It is not justified to use violence against anyone who has not initiated violence towards you. That being said I understand why the authorities would want to ban people who practice risky lifestyles from donating blood. The last thing we want is to have a blood supply that's contaminated with diseases because of the practices of people who engage in risky lifestyle choices and also sinful ones as well. No violence should never be the answer to people no matter what their lifestyle, But one should never condone something that is bad for society in the long run. +So I just read this article about rappers and music artists having a disagreement. It was pretty stupid too, I don't get why adults are fighting like high school children. It was all over some petty comments made, which apparently turned to racist slurs and got someone thrown out fo a building. Of course, everything is he said she said so I can't tell who was really wrong in this situation. However, again another situation that shows the stupidity of the human race. +This kind of thing happens in North Korea all the time. The country has so little usable farmland, that any weather disruption is a major problem. This is what happened during the Arduous March in the 90s, after Kim Il Sung died. The country had a couple bad years because of drought and then flooding, and suddenly everyone was starving. +KKK is filled with losers. Not sure why they get any attention. Actually, I know exactly why they get attention. It makes Trump look bad. Since that is the goal of the media, they will not pass this chance up. KKK has been irrelevant for decades. This is still the case. Media can make them look relevant, but they are not. +This article is so sad the hatred and anger we have towards one another in America needs to stop. Our children and grandchildren are going to grow up in a horrid place simply because we have people in our country who refuse to let go of the past. The past is in the past so let it stay in the past for crying out loud. +Here's an article about Standing Rock that I thought you would like to read. I think it's a few years old because it says the protests have been going on for five months, and I started following the Standing Rock case A LOT longer than five months ago. Barack Obama was still president then. I am very disappointed in the way he handled it and of course I have zero hope that Trump will do right by Native Americans at Standing Rock or anywhere else. We've had our own pipeline leaks here in Michigan, so the Lakota and Sioux who live in that area are right to be concerned. Even more so, it's their land and they have a right to tell the oil companies NO WAY. +This took place close to where I live so I can honestly say that it alarms me. Its a brutal world where this can happen and its always sad. I noticed the police and courts could have been more involved in preventing this but thats just how many of the violent stories I've been hearing have gone recently. +Well, there was another shooting. This one was in Washington. There is no real motive at this time, but they don't think it was terrorism. Maybe a broken heart? Anyways, it's getting ridiculous how many people are affected with these mass shootings. Just because someone has a grudge or a mental problem. +The article says that-Shannen Doherty Shares Her Cancer Story With Chelsea Handler In Emotional, Tear-Filled Interview — Shannen Doherty recalled what it’s like to be diagnosed with cancer in an emotional new interview with Chelsea Handler. During the sit-down, set to air on Handler’s Netflix show, Chelsea, the actress holds back tears while revealing what she’s learned through her health crisis. “I think what’s beautiful and hard and interesting about cancer is that it tears you down and builds you, and tears you down and builds you,” the Beverly Hills, 90210alum says in the clip. “It remakes you so many different times. The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different. I realize, +After reading this article I realized that our country is getting lazier and lazier. It doesn't surprise me when most Millenials out there feel entitled to everything. People don't think for themselves anymore or work hard for what they want. Not that people lack the intelligence but that they don't use it. They go to college, which is hard work, but then they expect a job to be handed to them. The real world isn't after high school, its after college. +There was this crazy story in the news the other day. Two guys were shot in Pennsylvania. One was shot twice in the stomach and the other was shot in the back. There were no arrests or anything and there was not stated motive. I wonder if it was a random thing or if they were involved with drugs or something? I guess we'll never know... +That's really strange that people would make such a big deal about her being single and running for office. That seems really petty, I wish people would focus all their attention on the real issues when it comes to politics. It seemed like the rules for Moldova didn't consider that a single person might run, I think they should update it. +If this was a hate crime that really sucks. If this was just a bar brawl that ended very badly ... still sucks. I don't understand why the police are being so secretive about things. And this guy's family is clear on the other side of the world probably feeling helpless. The other minorities in the area deserve to know if they need to be worried. Please, cops, release some info. +Another story that I am sending about Janet Reno. Thought she lived a good and long life, I always felt sorry for her and always wondered why she accepted the tough job of Attorney General. I felt sorry since she was often attacked for not only political reasons but her appearance also. She was unattractive and somewhat manly looking and the media used that against her. Made fun of her. This article mentions an encounter with Eleanor Roosevelt and her looks remind me of Janet. So maybe that is why she took the post. Wanted to be like her hero. +Did you hear about the Taliban attack on the German consulate in Afghanistan? If not, they set off a bomb at the gates and then an attack ensued. About 130 people were injured with 6 or so dead. Will that war ever end? An ancient saying says that "all empires end in that area" going back to Alexander the great. The country has never known peace and it's not looking any better. I feel sorry for all the injured, especially the children. I'm not sure the UN is making things any better either... +I'm the last one to want to victim blame anyone. I think as a celebrity you have to be a bit more conscious of your actions. Do I think Kim by posting the pics made someone want to rob her? No, but I think it's probably best to be more modest about what you post. I mean, just for safeties sake. I agree, I'd be scared to post about Tristan's ring too especially since it wasn't so long ago that Kim was robbed. Yes, I'm sure everything is insured, but it's still a scary experience and I'd do everything I could to avoid it. +This poor family lost the father just a short time ago! Now she is sick and suffering. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers in the next few days as they treat her. I hope her family is able to be there with her during this hard time, and that they are able to help her in her recovery. +Just another case of police brutality, not surprising at all This is a massive problem in our country, usually its the black population on the receiving end of it, but it does effect other people as well. When is this going to stop? Seems like it never is going to end, its been going on since the beginning of law enforcement, and will continue. Its shameful +I read an article about the hidden ads in online media and how it may be affecting children. It was about how kids see ads for junk food when they go online. They also spend a lot of time online, especially on YouTube. The videos on there are more influential, since they are real people, and the ads are more convincing. The article made me not want to let the kids watch YouTube or go online, which is really hard to do. I hate that the advertising industry seems to control all of our online media. +It seems that climate change is still a big threat to animals and wildlife, but not necessarily in the ways we would first think of. Climate change can affect the habitats of wild animals and cause them to die from things like lack of water, which is still a big deal. It's not the temperature change necessarily but what happens to things like the habitat. +I don't understand why we continue to fight this battle. People in our military are getting killed.It is not a good sign that anything positive is happening over there. I hate reading about military deaths. It is so sad that people have to go out there and fight. It seems unfair to me that their families at home get to get the phone calls that their love ones have died regardless of the circumstances. We need to do a better job at fighting batters we actually need to fight, vs fighting the battles of others. +Hey, here's another article that I'm sending to you for no good reason, since neither of us are interested in this kind of thing. It looks like more people died for shitty reasons, but maybe some are still alive. And, if there's anything that people love, it's the idea that things can be ok and / or get better. People fucking love this stuff. But, I did think that the bit about a HEN being rescued was out of place. haha. So, what do you think? +That would be a scary situation to live in. It is sad that the people feel like the government cares more about the elephants and animals than the people. These people must learn how to live with the elephants, but it seems like it is a scary thing to do. I would hate to try and live in that situation with children. I also think that anyone who is going to visit there should be made aware of the dangers of the elephants so that they don't get injured or killed like the 29 year old woman did in the article. +I feel very sad for the family of people who have lost their loved ones, especially family members that were so very deeply involved with the community and have touched so many hearts of the people around them as well. I am sure that for a long time, memories and special moments will be told with heart felt warmth for many generations. +I will never empathize or understand racists. Vandalism is the epitome of childish crimes as well. It's the twenty-first century and we still are surrounded by stupid racists. I say stupid because ignorance is simply not having a lack of intelligence or something, but you're still willing to educate yourself or be educated on it. Stupidity is being surrounded by so many outlets, professors, libraries, internet, magazines, and still refusing to learn about those that are different from you. +Hey just wanted to share this article with you and let you know some thoughts/feelings about it. I know that we have talked before about the importance of vaccinations, and if it is safe for kids to get them. I think this story really made me think about that and brought fourth some really interesting facts and data that make you see how it is changing and hurting different parts of the world. I feel that kids should receive these vaccinations as they are a easy way to help and protect people all over the world rather than taking a risk. +I think these people ahve been fighting each other over tribalism and ideology since I can remember. Im talking about Iraq, which is dividing into 3 main groups who have competed for limited resources for a long time. And the wealth of oil taken by the leaders and not shared with prosperity for all people has increased tensions. When I was young it was Iraq Iran War, the Saddam Hussein reign of terror, then the First Gulf War, the the Second Iraq War, then ISIS. THese people have something wrong with them and I think they bear some responsibility for their own suffering. +Read this article, this happened in Georgia where I live so I saw massive amounts of news coverage related to this case. I personally believe that the guy is guilty, there are too many things that he did and said that did not add up.It seems that he wanted to get rid of his kid and leave his wife and live his free lifestyle. I do not see any possible way that he did not know that the kid was in the car. That poor kid! +Those of you who smoke should quit. Once we quit, we're often surprised at the changes in attitude we experience regarding smoking, and life in general. When we quit and win our freedom from addiction, our mindset changes. After I quit I came to realize how much I really don't like it! I think I care more about myself now: My health, I stand up for myself when appropriate, I feel like there are more possibilities out there now without my smoking monkey on my back. +I think there is enough information about the health hazards of smoking for it to be understood why it should be outlawed in most public places. It is something that should be done in the privacy of people's homes, right? It makes sense to me. As for the rest of the information here about food safety, I don't trust most any public food establishment. I've seen too many nasty kitchens and bathrooms to trust a place to be clean when it counts! +Its inspiration and these people are still finding hard to donate blood to the victims despite the archaic rules regarding blood donations. The odds of HIV infection are so low that these blood donation laws need to be rolled back, like in Argentina. In the short term though, a way to help would be organizing a blood drive so those victims will get all the blood they need. +are you looking for an informative, creative and interesting article to read? Just for fun or educational purposes? then this the article for you. this article is really interesting. the author explains things in away that anyone can understand them. the author's use of language is genius and very interesting +It is horrible that things like this are still happening in the gulf of mexico and espesically since it is a priest. The cartels are doing horrible things that need to be controlled. It seems like the Mexican government can not do anything about it. Maybe there are some members in the government creating the problem +i and my friend always remain together. he has done a lot of help for me. he has been very hard for some time to help me with money. but he did not expect me anything.he is one of my family. he has great affection for me.he and i have come together in the school season.from that day he and i were not separated. +Just read an article about the situation in Haiti a month after the hurricane. Relief is being distributed better than after the last hurricane since the capital city was less affected and learnings from the previous situation were used to make some improvements. But getting food and water purification tablets distributed, and fairly, is a big problem. People are crazed with hunger and become violent, or give in to despair. Cholera is revving up. These are the immediate problems, but shelter, long-term rebuilding, voting in the upcoming election, and other issues lurk too. Somehow we have to figure out better relief efforts for natural disasters. +This guy got fucked. It sucks for him, but there’s nothing you can really do about these things, besides deal with it. There’s always going to be inefficiency and points of failure in any bureaucratic system right? Maybe the cops will get their shit together and sort it out for him, before he has to jump through all the bureaucratic hoops because of their initial mistake. +So today i read about Vaughn, an actor I didn't really know his name but have watched or heard most of the shows and movies he has been in. Today, i heard, he died at age 83 due to lukemia. IT is very sad to lose such a well respected actor. I guess his parents divorced at a young age but both gave him the genes to act. +This will embolden Trump supporters stance on immigration reform. I however do not believe just cause you are Muslim or an immigrant you are more prone to committing a terror attack. Attacks of terror and mass shooting are mostly causes by angry white men. When It's a white man hes a lone wolf and when your from a foreign country its terrorism. I am not making excuses for what happened. Surly its tragic but lets not pool a whole race of people into a negative basket because of one or two bad eggs. +It is really sad how many millions of people are led astray from the truth of the Bible. When people are exposed to hatred all their lives, it's very easy for them to become extremists. This suicide bomber in Pakistan is one of the sickest out there. People with no fear of death and who think they're actually going to be rewarded in the afterlife for killing innocent people? How stupid! +Wow, I feel really bad for the parishioners of the church that got burned down. At least nobody was injured. On the one hand, it's crazy that people would do this, but on the other hand, I'm not exactly surprised. Trump has been inciting racial hatred and tearing down standards of decent behaviour since before the beginning of his campaign. Let's hope he loses in November and we can file this away as a disgraceful moment in American history, nothing more. +Now this is a major issue: "Why Do Obese Patients Get Worse Care? Many Doctors Don’t See Past the Fat — You must lose weight, a doctor told Sarah Bramblette, advising a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet. But Ms. Bramblette had a basic question: How much do I weigh? The doctor’s scale went up to 350 pounds, and she was heavier than that. If she did not know the number, how would she know if the diet was working?" A populace that is so uneducated on health and nutrition that they don't know that it's mathematically impossible not to lose weight at over 350 pounds on a 1200 calorie a day diet. What's worse is a doctor who is so incompetent that he can't tell her that. If your clothes get bigger you are losing weight. +Aww man, I hate to see this. This kind of story makes me so sad for the families who are just waiting for their family members to come home. I worry about this kind of thing when my husband is making his 2 hour commute to and from work or when my sister and her husband take the train to NYC. You just never know. I feel so bad for those families right now. +I think the process of dying can contain various levels of trauma. Some people die with less pain, and we tend to call them lucky. I tend to think the body inflicts various levels of physical and psychological pain over the often somewhat lengthy process of dying. One type of emotion I can partly relate to is the idea that the party (life) keeps going on, but you have to leave. The idea of no longer consuming new information or experiences. The process of dying inflicts bad emotions on me, but thinking about being dead does not inflict many emotions on me. I feel neutral or calm about the idea, and I see no rational reason for worrying about it. +There have just been so many different tragedies involving the sinking of migrant boats that the people who live in Western countries have become immunized to the images. I just wonder how people so close by in European countries can have an anti-refugee position (though they call them migrants) when the evidence of tragedy is before them every year since the Syrian war heated up. I think it is really just crazy. +Ugh, I just read an article about our disgusting president and the way women are reacting to these rumors, allegations and truths made about this man and his inexcusable treatment of women in the past. And, that's just it, who is stupid enough to think his behavior is only in the past and is not still occurring today behind closed doors!? I am sure it is only a matter of time before that also comes out. The more and more I read about him, the more and more disturbed I am to have him as a president and wish I did not live in a country where that animal is calling the shots. The article was talking about women, especially Republican women, starting to pull away from their candidate and losing their warm and fuzzy feelings towards Trump. About time! +Poor people, I feel bad for the family they left behind and for their friends and family, my deepest condolences to their relatives. It was an accident and there was nothing that could be done to preven it, but I hope this serves as lesson to other to be more careful while engaging in that kind of activities. +This is just more violent nonsense from the outrageous middle east. Honestly, I dont care any longer. All these people clutching to one religion or another (often just as a mask for their rage) and killing each other out of tribal animus. It hasnt changed, well, ever. I dont expect it to change now. Its hopeless because people are just ignorant, solipsistic apes. I just cant care any longer about these idiots. Its horrible and tragic but it's all so preventable. +Even though fewer people are crossing this year than in 2015, more people are dying as they try to make the journey.Bodies of migrants in a boat off the coast of Libya in October. At least 29 people died in the incident, all in their 20s.One person out of every 88 has been lost at sea trying to reach the shores of Greece, Italy or Spain. That means they're 90 times more likely to die on the journey than an American is likely to die of gunshot wounds. +Aw, look, I didn't know Pete Burns died. I'm glad he was happy with all his surgeries and his life, even if I wasn't. He was so hot before he did all that, man. Gorgeous voice. Why are all the pretty ones so often the wrong kind of crazy? Now I have to go listen to that song, or it's going to be stuck in my head all day. +Here is an article that pretty much sums up what most people already know about Donald Trump and his campaign platform. This is highlights some of the main points, including his stances on immigration, abortion rights, gun rights, Comey, the Clintons, and a variety of other topics. It's a good refresher. +This is the kind of stuff that happens all over and is always underreported because the perpetrators of such sexual harassment and assaults are protected by their power in society and other powerful people. It was long just an unspoken or open secret that everyone basically knew, but it's good that it's finally coming to light with people willing to speak up, especially the victims. If they didn't speak up, people would go on thinking that this kind of stuff only happens in TV and movies. Art imitates life, and vice versa. +of the 5000 rhinoceroses that remain free in the world have just killed one more. poachers do not respect endangered species. This enrages me and I try to hunt them. the 18-year-old rhinoceros left her baby orphaned. I really hope that stronger measures will be taken for the protection of these species and that their extinction will be avoided. +There are a lot of things in this article that I don't agree with. I don't think that being gay is a mental problem, but I do believe that it is a sin. The only way for people to stop committing this sin is for God to work in their lives. I don't know a lot about conversion therapy, but i'm not so sure that this is the way to go. I also don't believe that trump is anti gay. He hasn't done anything that would make him anti gay. +Michael Moore did it again! The man might not be much to look at, but he continually nails liberals social values with an iron fist. This time it was him predicting Trump's victory in a film, but what next? He is serving as a light post for liberals, trying to wake them up that aspects of the Democratic party are out of tune with the greater American people, but will they listen? Trump won for many reasons, and while he encourages liberals to tell their conservative friends Hillary "won the popular vote," What good will that even do? The time for liberals to get better in-tune with the needs of the greater american conservative public has long since passed... +Salley Jessy Raphael was on the show "Where are they now" with Oprah, she claims she was betrayed by her producers. I remember watching her show in the 80's and 90's. It had become a show like Jerry Springer and she claims she wishes she had spoken up about the direction the show was going. She felt like her staff of 250 people thought she knew the show was going to be canceled in 2002 but she did not know anything about it. She was a strong personality and I think if she wanted to change the direction of the show she could have. Hindsight is twenty-twenty. +Arnold Palmer was really a great and ambitious guy, he really did a momunmental change onnhow today's televesion sports work, and the fact that he died was pretty sadddning to me. I think that the legacy he left behind is amazing, and he will continue to influence us even after his death. I would love to see Arnold Palmer's compnay thrive tremendously over the next couple of decades, and continue to transpire within the people he has influenced in his life. +I can sympathize with what these parents must be feeling. Not because I have raised a pre-teen, but because I can vividly remember that time in my life. Middle school is hard, ugly, and scary. I remember being bullied by girls that I idolized. I was fortunate to have a mother who was very caring and easy to talk to. She sympathized with me without making me feel like a small child who needed my parents to win my battles for me. She would say "That's awful, honey. Now, what are you going to do about it?" +The wildfire burned the field more than 13,300 acres. This is the 75% of agricultural land. The farmers was very sad about the wildfire. Their lands are damaged very highly due to the wildfire. The emergency fire safety team save the 25% of land from the wildfire. This could be very helpful to the farmers. Although, they loss the 75% agricultural land. Even they are did not plant any plants from the burned agricultural land. +Hi friend, I saw this article the other day, and I'm really upset by the behavior of the poachers. They had absolutely no reason to attack this guy. I would like to see the villagers fairly punished for their terrible behavior. Can you give me a hand and pass this along to everybody on your friends list? I know it isn't much, but I think that if we work really hard together, we might be able to get enough support to make sure that the poachers are punished. At any rate, we should at least try to raise the money to help this injured guy. +Hello, dear group. Let's trust in the laws of our country and in truly just judgments. Hopefully the murderer accused of five counts of murder will not be free and quiet in the streets of this country. I hope that justice can compensate a little to the relatives of the victim. After a 24-hour chase the police found the criminal and even though the victims have not been recognized, they will soon discover who they are. +I never knew that bananas were at risk of becoming extinct. Apparently we need to cultivate more varieties, so we do not face another crisis like Cavendish and Big Mike bananas that have succumbed to a fungal disease and almost got wiped out. We are so used to seeing bananas as a common fruit at supermarkets that we never think of not ever eating another one again! I found this article very intriguing, there is so much work that goes into figuring out how to protect this yellow fruit from fungal illnesses and make it more resistant to various dangerous fungal strains.Apparently this presents a great challenge for the scientists but they are hoping to cultivate more banana plant varieties that will be more resistant to various illness. +Wow.. di you see this? Delicia Taylor is suing the makers of this product.. Soft Sheen Carson Optimum Amly Legend No Mix, No Lye Relaxer. She has bald spots, Burns, blisters and pain from using this. Do you know anyone who uses this? If you do have them check out this link. The law suit is for 5 million dollars.. maybe they can get some money.. I think it's terrible that this product was allowed to be sold. It is awful when someone thinks something would make them look nice but instead ends up damaging them for life. Be sure to check the article out.. I think there are some pictures out there too. Brace yourself before you look at them. +Did you hear about the shipwreck in Egypt? Unfortunately it looks like fifty five people have died. It's such a sad story. I feel so bad for the families and that has to be a odd feeling for the 150 or so that survived. So many people swam to save their lives. I would never be able to do that! There were also children on the boat, so that is incredibly sad. I hate that people died and had no chance of survival. +I think it's unfortunate that people are targetting children to join their terrorist communities. It's sad because all these kids have a future but they get wrapped up in this brainwashing stuff. And then people are perfectly fine pinning it on an entire community and that's not fair becuase it really had nothing to do with the community itself and was more of an individuals decision +The Flint, Michigan water crisis is out of control. It seems like there isn't much being done to help them get cleaner water. We need to do everything we can to help them. Children are being hospitalized because of the cities incompetence. No one should have to go without clean water, and because we live in the United States, it's especially true. +You know one thing late Thursday that the Islamic State used a rocket containing mustard gas against U.S. troops in Iraq. The general was addressing leaked news reports that investigators had found a black oily substance on a rocket that landed near the perimeter of the base. Dunford told the committee that investigators had assessed the liquid and found “it to be a sulfur-mustard blister agent.” The news is concerning because this is the first time a chemical weapon has been used against U.S. officials said the Islamic State was using to produce mustard agent and other chemicals for military use. No soldiers were injured in the attack, nor have any shown symptoms of exposure to mustard gas, a weapon banned by the 1925 Geneva protocol after the horrors of World War I. +I don't know about Bayh. I kind of wish he hadn't run again; I'm glad he's not trying again this time. After reading this story, it's hard to feel sympathetic, even in retrospect. But the story confuses me, too. Didn't Bayh used to work for Fox News after he quit the Senate? The story doesn't even mention that. And it talks about how he was working for the banks but also embraced Obama's position on banks, which seem like mutually exclusive things. He didn't do anything great in the Senate, but when he was governor, he saved that lady's daughter's college career. It's all very confusing, but overall, I'm glad he's staying gone. +I don't really like coconuts, I think everyone knows that, but I still think that they play a huge role in our ecosystem. I don't know a lot about coconuts or what role they play in the environment, but they're really important for a lot of economies where they are grown. I think that the article brings up a good point by saying that major companies that sell coconut water should be the ones trying to look for a solution because they are being oversourced due to high demand for their products, so I think that they have a lot of responsibility to try to be the ones to fix this dilemma and solve this coconut crisis. It just makes me worried about the environment overall because I really worry about global warming and I just really worry about the environment in general. +Megyn Kelly during an interview, repeatedly shaking his finger at her and accusing her of being “fascinated with sex” because she brought up allegations of sexual assault against Trump. In a scolding tone, Gingrich tried to tell Kelly which words she could or could not use. Gingrich once had a fascination of his own with Bill Clinton’s sex life, as he was a driving force behind the movement to impeach Clinton following a consensual sexual relationship he had with a young former intern. Clinton became the second president in American history to be impeached by the House, but he was acquitted by the Senate. Voters, meanwhile, punished the Republicans for what they saw as an overreach: The GOP lost five House seats in the 1998 midterm elections, which led to Gingrich’s resignation as speaker. +This sort of story is showing up far too much in the news anymore. It shows a deepening divide of racial tensions in America, which is something I thought we had finally put behind us. That being said, I mean that the racial tension is coming from BOTH sides, not just one side or the other. BOTH sides need to be held accountable for their actions and the divide they are creating in this country. +Sadly this has become common in our society. Blacks are killed by police, and nothing seems to make a difference or matter. I can guarantee that if it was a black cop killing a while person, the outcomes would be entirely different. I dont blame the black community for their anger and dissapointment. I'm angry and dissapointed I cant imagine how they must feel. +I'm saddened to hear the news about his passing. In my experience I believe that comedians get into the field due to an aspect of the desire to help people and give them a few laughs. Don't think I recall his comedy acts but reading through the tributes I get the sense that people liked him alright and that he was a good guy. His tagline is great - "that's not right." As if he internalized a solid sense of right and wrong. So I didn't know his work but I think I like him. +An endangered species of polar bears have seen an increase in the number of them killed by visitors, or hunters. Look at how the people are apparently organizing against the threat to these wonderful, and endangered creatures. I'm not sure if they can turn the tide, there are a lot of bad people out there who hunt for sport, but they can surely slow it down, and that's a good thing. I hope their efforts are strong enough that this wonderful species can be preserved, intact, in their natural habitat. +Lockets with blood? Dang, that is kind of creepy and weird guys, but oh well, they were in love. People do crazy things when they are in love. Now, the fact that this guy never felt enough indicates auto esteem issues, she is not God, dude. I still can not believe Brangelina is over, they were end game to me, but oh well, guess you can not force things. +I just read an article about numerous female athletes that of taking the world by storm. I love hearing about female athletes, however it was frustrating to read an article with so many typos, miss spellings, errors and words that didn’t make sense put together. The article was clearly not proof read before being published where I read it. For such an important topic, proofreading would have been easy. +I think that this is a kind of funny story. I enjoy hearing about escaped animals from the zoo for some reason. If you think about it the zoo is just one big animal jail. I am sure that I would resent the fact of being locked up if I was a wild animal. Some of these animals have never known the difference. +A little animal called the vaquita is an endangered species. Efforts are being made to save the species but many conservation groups do not think these efforts will be successful. They call it "quick fix" intervention. Usually, when efforts are made to conserve a species, the efforts are unsuccessful. Apparently these animals are small porpoises which get trapped in nets. +It is just so messed up that there are so many places in the world without easy access to clean water. The answer is never to privatize or "modernize" the water system of a place, as that is really just an excuse to implement political policies. It is just bizarre that our modern water systems in urban areas are so woefully lacking. Even desert areas of India get enough rainfall each year that a simple catchment system would solve all of a community's problems. +This is a bizarre story. A man bashed a turtles head with a hammer in self defense. He is being held on 5000 bail. The only part of the story I find interesting is that the man dragged the turtle into the middle of the road and left it there. I'm not sure I believe the man. Claiming self defense against a turtle seems crazy. I think the man could of just left the turtle alone and not of been in this situation to begin with. +I think what the father did was a noble gesture. Sometimes justice isn't always served in jail. I think it is a shame that he is being punished for what he did. What is more important however is that the father got his revenge. Sometimes it is necessary to take justice in your own hands. I applaud the father for what he did. +It is extremely upsetting that there is a cultural war going on and no one seems to care. The values of muslims in general are not compatible with western culture. Further more, it is an ideology that promotes violence and terrorism. Until people become less tolerant of this disgusting dogma, things like this will continue to happen. If muslims want to be viewed in a better light in the west, they need to work on reforming their religion from within. +Climate change isn't just about affect the weather negatively for future generations. It apparently will also affect food sources. We may be able to overcome this with our technology and science but will our food turn into frankenfood that could potentially have long term side effects that cannot be seen yet? Underdeveloped countries are especially going to be affected by diminishing crops due to climate change. +I thank God because my sisters were born in USA instead of those countries in the middle east who still believe in male guardianship.Can you imagine a woman seeking permission fro a male figure who is a relative and sometimes a son to acquire a passport?that is so bad.I hope the activists will succeed in helping this women because this is so outrageous. +I'm not a fan of Muslim migrants myself. I find most of Arab culture backwards and antithetical to American values. This is pretty fucked up, though. This article feels like something out of the 1960s. Makes you consider the cyclical and incremental nature of human history. Despite our technological advances we fall prey to the same prejudices and biases again and again. Before we were burning Native Americans, then the Irish, then Blacks, and now Muslims. Human progress at work. +Hey just wanted to write you a note and see if you have been watching the news. They are reporting finding a mass grave near mosul of 100 dead bodies most of them decapitated and some thirty three thousand people that is displaced . that is terrible. We need to do something. The US is setting up service centers families which is a great idea. +The US has done some super shady things. How we treated these people is horrible, and I'm not sure whether I'm more upset or just feel bad for the Americans who went along with it. It sort of reminds me of the SS officers during WWII- like at some point it seems like they all realized what they were doing wasn't kosher and definitely crossing ethical boundaries. Yet they all continued because .... why? I know the whole thing about the military is going along and just obeying orders but what was going on there was seriously seriously messed up. +Reading this article makes me feel sad for many reason. I myself have no idea why those countries are always at war and why so many people are loosing their lives. It also makes me sad to imagine myself in a situation where I am constantly in fear of my life. With so many being lost already it makes me sad to think about these things continually happening. +These people are dumb for voting for him. They can't even tell that he's exploiting their feelings and has no intentions to helping them. He's just taking advantage of the situation for his own gain. They'll find out soon and they'll be the ones who end up suffering most from this. I don't really have too much sympathy for them. +I'm always upset to hear about violence erupting as a result of lives lost due to police action. I believe most police officers are good people, but there is a pervasive issue of racism ingrained in many police departments. The protests were certainly justified. Police should be subjected to psychological testing to determine whether they have an inclination toward racism. Those that do need to be removed from active duty immediately. +You should check out this article. As I was reading I was happy that the injuries were not worse tha n they were. Could you imagine being in any sort of situation like this? It makes me feel bad for people with children, could you imagine letting you r children leave every day and not knowing what could happen to them? +The liberal left has struck again. They continue to react negatively to Trump being president even 18 months after the election. This whole thing about getting an IUD now because Trump will make birth control unaffordable in the near future is ridiculous. Just another issue to get people stirred up. Most Trump supporters are conservative when it comes to economic issues but moderately liberal when it concerns social issues. Big changes in birth control, same sex marriages, abortion, and women’s rights are not going to happen. I would like to ask the haters how their lives have changed for the worse since the election! +Hi, I have learned that Syria’s war escalated abruptly on Friday. Government forces and their Russian allies launched ferocious aerial assaults on Aleppo. Repeated airstrikes destroyed buildings and engulfed neighborhoods, and flames killed about 100 people there. What is gained with this senseless violence? +I knew trump really doesnt' believe fully in the climate change and that it's caused my human actions. I think he's putting this topic on the back burner since there are more important things to concentrate. I have to say I agree with him but at some point during his presidency, it should be looked at and see what kind of changes, if any need to take place, and then make them happen +I hope everyone is ok. I was in a small earthquake and it was extremely scary. A lot of people can die if you don't have safe buildings. I think there should be a major international effort to provide guidance for any nations in an earthquake prone region so that we can do a little bit to prevent more deaths when the earthquakes inevitably hit. +Well, this is frustrating. Not only will the new law not really help, but it doesn't sound like anything will help. It's a good point, about having to get the fishers on board with saving the paquita, but I don't know how to convince them. If it came down to feeding my family or saving a handful of dolphins that are probably going to die out anyway, there's a good chance I'd pick my family. The story's a year or two old -- so once I've finished doing what I'm doing, I'm going to look up the paquita and see what's happened since then. +Hello there. So I just read this disturbing story about a teacher who is involved in child pornography. He is now going to face courts for such a disgusting habit. I think this teacher should really be punished exemplarily so that even those who were thinking of doing it can take notice. This is totally unacceptable in our education system +It's amazing how much destruction two large warring nations can do to such a smaller nation. The Middle East was never in a position of power, they have been fighting for a millenia, but the destruction is much greater now, there has never been weaponry so large and crushing to such a small state nation. It's unbelievable that an entire generation of culture will be separated from their families and can only take what they have learned so far. +Hey, did you read this article? I feel really bad for all who are dealing with these extreme weather crisis. Fires, floods, extreme heat is all getting out of hand and I am praying for everyone who has bee and will be harmed. I pray for a solution. There has to be something that can be done about this, right? +It is very upsetting to hear about a family losing their children in such a freak accident way. As a parent myself I can only imagine the horrible feelings that this family is going through and how everyone must be feeling right now to lose these little girls as such a young age. No one should have to bury their own children, it is just terrible. +More toddlers and preschoolers are overdosing on opioids — In recent years, rates of toddlers and preschoolers hospitalized for opioid overdoses more than doubled, according to a new study. In fact, overdoses rose more than 100% over a 16-year period among all children, the study published in JAMA Pediatrics Oct. 31 showed. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine analyzed national data from the Kids’ Inpatient Database on children admitted to U.S. hospitals for opioid poisoning. The study focused on more than 13,000 records from patients ages 1 to 19 between 1997 to 2012. What's to blame? Possibly the increase of prescribed pain killers, including OxyContin and Vicodin. Research from 1999 to 2010 show retail sales of prescription opioids quadrupled."Even in children younger than 6 years, +Here is an article for you. It's an old one, obviously. I am so sick of Republicans. They are a cowardly, spineless bunch who fall in line behind Trump every time. Let's hope they get a major butt whooping in November. But this article demonstrates how we can't take anything for granted. I remember back then, when all the polls showing wins for Hillary and the Democrats. I haven't trusted the polls since then, and I know you don't trust them either. And who knows what the Russians are going to do this time around? No one has tried to stop them, so why wouldn't they try to interfere in our elections again? We have to keep an eye out and do whatever we can to make sure there's no funny business at the polls in November. +I just read an article about elephants and how they are becoming extinct due to people being more concerned towards their need fr ivory than they are for the precious lives of elephants. I don't understand why people have such little regards for the well being of the elephant species, knowing that they are on the verge of extinction and it upsets me severerly knowing that we are taking them for granted. +Poor orangutan. I hope her treatment is successful and she is able to return to living in the wild, or at least in a zoo. You hear a lot of stories these days about illegal animal trading. Humans need to learn that wild animals are not there for our entertainment and should be kept in their habitats. +I would give these people a life sentence in prison. People who steal from the less fortunate and exploit resources and innocents have no place in our society! They stole from pensioners and investors and blew millions on luxuries and other forms of pleasurable experiences at the expense of people, causing suffering and pain! They should be punished accordingly, a dark cell with a toilet and a meal of prison mush twice a day would serve them just right. It's a typical story about wealthy and elite out there, who always harm the innocents and somehow able to get away and proven "innocent". I would especially show no mercy when it comes to these greedy bankers all over the world. There is absolutely no excuse for their crimes-so much poverty and grief all over the world! +Imagine the excitement of going to a concert and the buildup for days after buying tickets. Imagine that you finally get to see these bands play and all of the sudden you hear gunshots ring out. You see people falling down, dead. How are you supposed to cope with that? How can you get up the next day and feel that this is a world worth living in? +Other story similar to the local news about the killing of a woman I know in town. It always makes me think of the children first. It also makes me wonder how a person could commit such atrocities, especially in front of children. The child that called 911 will no doubt mentally live with that phone call for the rest of their life. Article seem to have been murder, and a middle class home, maybe drug use or robbery gone wrong? What is wrong with the world today? I will certainly hug my children tighter tonight after reading all these articles about murder, grieving children, deaths, worldly disasters and sadness. The world is such an interesting, wonderful yet sad place all at once. I will also say a prayer for those kids and pray and be thankful for mine. +I found this article that was really sad about these divers that they found dead in a Florida cave system. It was so sad. I was really depressed after reading it. Perhaps they shouldn't have gone so far down because there was a sign saying not to, but still, it was very sad that they died. They were experienced and should have survived, but they didn't. I really feel sorry for their friends and family. They will be dearly missed. Please pray for them and their families. +The problem of poaching has become such an epidemic guides in South Africa who use to take hunters on big game safari's are now becoming a different kind of hunter themselves. They've taken up arms in the war on poaching due to the fact it is an outrageous epidemic at this point. Animals like the rhino are on the brink of extinction and poachers don't care. +Yet another reason to have more strict immigration rules. These people know the dangers that they face when they do this, so it is hard to feel very sorry for them. I don't think giving them more information on these dangers will stop them, but patrolling the waters and turning these human traffickers back will. If it is made difficult for these human traffickers to exploit these people, it will happen less often. +I don't know much about cricket but apparently in England it's a very big deal! This one town's team is under the gun to win the championship and needs only 33 more points to pull it off. Can you imagine the pressure of the coach and players??? That must be some fierce competition over there. I wonder if they have as big of a fan base as most of our sports do here in the states? +I feel like Aleppo is a legit war zone right now. You can get killed anywhere at anytime. I feel so sorry about the innocent families and children that are involved and would like other nations to at least help Syria and other Middle Eastern Countries and accept refugees. The thought of losing your child or someone in your family is really disturbing. +The shark attack described was distressing. I'm glad to know that the victim is okay. There is something about shark attacks that seems so unexpected and primal...really frightening. At the same time I can appreciate how people want to protect the natural wildlife in the area. Its a tough call. I know the measures they take will never be perfect. I guess I'm on the fence about what they're doing to protect the sharks. +The war in Syria is one in which the US needs to get out of. We have no reason to be involved there, and staying involved will just risk the war expanding and making the region worse off. We need to get out, like, yesterday. Also, we are wasting billions on this that could be used for universal healthcare and increasing the minimum wage. +Our system has failed us once again and continues to fail us daily. The idea that a foster care system allows for brothers to be split apart that came in together in insane. It's strange to me that we treat human life as if it is less than important. I wish that people would wake up from the old-world ideals and behavior. Thanks to the 20th century and the advent of film as a story-telling mechanic, we have the ability to be able to share stories with each other on a bigger level. I can't believe that it's 2018 and we still operate as if it's 1400 a.d. I am disgusted by our modern culture and our governmental system. It's all a sham. We are slaves. +The article I read was about the disparity in responsibility for birth control between men and women. A new male birth control was rejected as having too many side effects on men, when options available to women have far more and more severe side effects. The article mentioned that birth control for women revolutionized lives so much that the side effects were deemed acceptable, but men are not accustomed to ceding convenience for responsibility, are used to women taking control in this area. +this article about people targeting muslims is sickening. One lady's clothes were set on fire! Who does that?! Another lady was with her 15 month old child and was punched in the face :( It makes me so sick that hate going on in todays world. I understand that there are terrorists and some are muslims. But that does not mean we should say that every muslim should pay the price. +This is absolutely awful. I can't even imagine the amount of pain the victim had. The only suspected motive was after Comunale rejected the sexual advances of one of the men inside the apartment? Really? That's not a good reason at all to kill someone. How dare he. What a tragic story this is, and it makes me heart churn just trying to think of the robbed life that was taken. +I think most people would be disturbed about how animals are treated before they are slaughtered and used for meat. I feel like aside from clearly inhumane treatment, it should be expected that killing an animal for food isn't exactly going to be the most pleasant process for the creature. I'm not particularly surprised that the method of stunning chickens has a failure rate. +Wow, this is terrible! I know a lot of you use L'Oreal products. You should read this. It has to do with a woman getting awful burns from using their products. She's going to sue the company. I think we should support her. No company should get away with this. It's a horrible reaction and it's just plain terrible what she has to go through. +I'm not sure what can be done but global warming is affecting us in many other areas then the ones we have seen and heard. Did you know our coffee crops are in danger of being wiped out? That's right, I just read this article detailing the struggles currently going on with coffee crop farmers. There is an intense struggle at the moment for them to maintain their crops and to keep them going. The warm temperatures have really threw a wrench into their day to day operations and maintaining the coffee crops has become quite a challenge. We are in danger of either paying really high prices on coffee or worse case scenario being without coffee period. This is very distressing for me. Can you imagine not having our cup of coffee daily to get us through the days? This is truly tragic. +It's ridiculous that those talk shows of daytime tv moved on to be more like soap opera's. They could have done alot of good for their fans, but then it just became more of a cheap laugh. The people that lost their jobs on Sally Jesse Raphael had families they supported. After being told the show would be renewed, it was a harsh blow to find out that wasn't the case. I feel for those that were put out of work. +Ugh. That's rough. I feel so bad for that little girl and she deserves to live in a world where justice is made, but that eye-for-an-eye type justice is so medieval. The guy obviously deserves a very harsh punishment, but this is barbaric. This is the difference between revenge and justice. A 20-year prison sentence makes so much more sense than blinding. +We need to destroy the system that allows these things to happen. Capitalism that reinforces these disgusting habits must be destroyed utterly and the Christian religion should be wiped out in its entirety. There is no excuse for this kind of repulsive behavior that drives people to abuse these children. +I don't know why is that the people was injured. But what a horrible new, I know that this kind of incidents perturb a lot to the citizen of that country. Powerful nations need to create associations to defend those countries that suffer from the injustice. Some countries around have leaders that abuse from their people. This kind of situations must be investigated and punished by an international organism. +I just read an article on how many civilians are killed by airstrikes by NATO forces. This is a major issue because the mainstream media never report these stories. The media only paints NATO as the good guys and never in a bad light. They can commit acts that can be deemed a war crime but as long as they are the authority they do not need to be accounted for. +I always feel soft hearted when I read about the holocaust. To imagine going through that experience and just knowing that there are people that evil makes me angry and sad. But to see people try to make something positive out of something so negative makes me happy. Also I feel that it's so great to remember those who died without ever living their lives. +I think that this is really sad. It seems to be something that is ingrained in all humans. I am thankful that it mostly just effects children, but it seems kind of hopeless that we will ever fully solve this problem. I think the only real way is for adults to be consistently vigilant and make sure that we are not ignoring the kids that this is effecting. +As someone who works in healthcare I have not encountered THIS type of thing yet, but everyone has an embarrassing story and while the ER may have not seen the exact same thing, they've likely seen crazier, just own it and GO IN. you can always tell people about your own embarrassing experience in third person, much better than losing a limb, organ or your life. +It's about time somebody stood up to Mexico. We are being flooded with mexicans and immigrants flooding over the border. It's an invasion as far as I'm concerned. I could go into detail about all the negatives it causes. But what I am sick of is every time we want to do something about it, all the naysayers and doomsdayers through NAFTA and Trade and economics in our face. I get it we made some dumb deals in the past that have lead to bad consequences, but we elected Trump to take a new direction. Mexico will have to get their act together too, I'm sick of them acting like saints everytime we want to take an action. +‘Silicon Valley’ stars recount being harassed by Donald Trump supporters — “Silicon Valley” stars Kumail Nanjiani and Thomas Middleditch both took to Twitter Saturday morning to recount their experience being harassed by two Donald Trump supporters in a Los Angeles bar. “Was at a bar last night with @Middleditch. At the end of the night, 2 white dudes, 20’s, who’d been there for hours came up to us,” Nanjiani began, adding that they said they were fans, but thought they were “wrong about Trump.” “I go ‘Hey we don’t wanna discuss politics right now.’ His friends goes ‘oh they’re cucks.’ +People are still talking about Hillary Clinton....which is sooooooooo old news...she lost fair and square and people just need to get over it.......She lost to Trump, which means we definitely didn't want her as our president. She and everyone else needs to stop blaming everything and everyone else.........Lets all just do each other a favor and just pretend she never happened and just let her retire in silence. +And another shooting of a black man by a cop. While most of the time, I feel that the shooting is justified, with the evidence presented, I definitely think this needs to go to a jury for a decision. I agree that she should have been trained for this scenario, but no one knows exactly what their emotions will be in a situation like this one. It was a domestic violence call, which are extremely dangerous for police officers. But I don't understand why less than lethal methods weren't deployed first. +I think it's hard to determine things like this unless the entire program in each community is being monitored. If not, the money spent versus the number of children being taught or learning from this process is hard to determine. I do think that connecting the schools is important though and that children should be learning computers, but by the time they're in the workplace, the jobs may have changed. +This is just disgusting. I cannot believe that this is happening to people. Why are people afraid to go to the doctor? there is no reason for this. I am numb to all this madness and I cannot believe I am writing about a man's penis right now. I cannot find any excuse for this and people need to be educated about the healthcare system so they are not so afraid of it. +Hey, I saw your post about people harming the environment and I definitely agree with you. Just take a look at this article - it talks about how foods are being wasted and it can potentially harm the environment. Since so many people do not care about the environment or do not know the effects of harming the environment, how about you and see set up some program that would help improve the environment? +An animal center did not take care of animals properly. There was complaints by an employee about horrid conditions that the owner did not do anything about. Animal centers are not regulated so the owners do whatever they want without consequences. Dogs died of heat exhaustion because they were not supervised and did not have proper ventalation in a room known to get vey hot. +Trump is president get over it snowflakes. People still complaining about him being president need to shut the fuck up and just accept it like a big boy or girl. Things happen and there isnt anything they can do about it. All i see are big ass babies that need something to whine about . Forming lines across roads interferring with peoples lives is just childish and people need to grow up and take off those damn diapers +I really liked this guys music. It's hard to feel too sad though. He lived a full and excellent life. His music will live on for generations and there is every bit of the chance that he will never be forgotten. It is not bad to live to 80. many others live far shorter lives and some peoples existence seems as meaningless as a fart in the wind. +I felt very bad when read these kinds of news. For me, it is vital to protect women and kids. I think they are vulnerable than men. The society should give more protect to them. I really feel pity for the girls who had suffering like that. I hate those bad people that did all these crimes. They should be punished. +Kind of cool that researchers have found that bonobos tend to become farsighted as they age, which is quite similar to humans. They also observed their grooming practices. Some even take turns grooming one another, which is pretty cool. The article was extremely hard to read and understand, especially with it being written in one giant block, so those are really the only key points I got from it. +This article held some very valid views that I have been trying to explain for years. The hypocrisy that America generates is overwhelming and others can see this too. We are holding ourselves so high up as a free country meanwhile a black man can not even get pulled over without having a white man pulling a gun on him. +This area has been devastated by natural disasters and it appears to only be getting worse. I can't believe the amount of disasters that appear to be concentrated in one place, and the resilience that the citizens have shown to survive. I also can't believe the looting and break-ins that have been reported in the area, what kind of people steal from those in need? +It is disturbing to me that people in the US are not starting as many small businesses and the number of entrepreneurs is falling. I think it's because of all the government regulations and red tape that makes it difficult for a small business to start up and compete. It's also of concern that US workers are stressed about job security. +Hey man can you believe that again the sea ice is at its lowest level again! I just read an article on it and It seems like it keeps going lower and lower. I feel really worried for animals that depend on the sea ice, polar bears I think really need it. Plus I read how it can have a really bad impact on our climate because the ice reflects so much of the sun's energy without it even more heat from the sun gets in and doesn't get reflected. Definitely something to watch and worry about. +How could someone treat such an intelligent creature so horribly. You'd think by now people would figure out that we don't have any superior right to health and happiness over other animals on Earth. You'd think people would be too ashamed of the CHANCE of getting caught acting like this to actually have the audacity to treat another living creature so despicably. +Wow. Here we go again, I guess???? A couple of years ago that area in Tennessee was completely devastated by uncontrollable wildfires. Many people lost their lives and their homes. Many businesses were also destroyed. I hope this fire wasn't like that one. A group of kids who were playing with matches in the woods set it on fire. They fled the area and told no one +Hello Friend how are you? How are your children behaving? I do not understand much about politics but now the President of this country and that of Ruisa joined forces when fighting against Syria. They called Syria as the first threat and classified it as terrorists. I really do not understand what is the reason for so much hearing and what was the initial problem. I know that there are many good people in Syria, so it makes me think that many people died when the President of Russia bombed Syria. Many good people die. I consider that the war does not solve anything, it has not done it before and neither will it now. +All the unrest in the Middle East has me really concerned with my son being deployed over there. There's so much going on in Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries and I'm so worried he will end up right in the middle of it all. Please say a prayer that he is safe over there and that nothing bad happens while he is there! +Hello friends I have just read an article about these people from egypt that were on a boat and then they got shipwrecked I think. The recent scientist of the earth have no found the evidence about the ship and the bodies and are beginning to make ideas up about the people. They said that the people were on the ship and I forgot why or what they were doing but it is still a little bit interesting. The article was very long and hard to read though. +I am not sure if you saw that Fernandez is dead. That is really going to impact the Marlins. I didn't know all that he went through as a child to get to America. It is sad when someone with such light and hope is killed either in an accident or by some jealous fan. I know he was really important to a lot of people. I am glad they decided to cancel the Braves game. Nobody is really going to be focused enough to play anyway. +Hey i just saw this post and this is so sad that the kids in venezuela do not have neough to eat can you beleive that some kids only eat a smll meal for one whole day instead of three full course meals i can not even belueve that what is happening o the world where we arw more concered about putting money inot guns and creating ar when we have bigger issue son our hnads such as te hunger that these people are suffering and there kids so many kids are sudfering and even fainting +While reading the article, I did not really care too much about the protests made by people in South Korea against their President mainly because it is in South Korea and not here in America. Although I didn't really have much concern for the article I just read, I hope that these protests will end in South Korea. +Do you hear about that teacher that body-slammed a student and now the student lost his leg? Understand kids can be so wild and disrespectful why would you body slam a child? That was my child I'd be furious and that individual should be very fearful of his consequences for putting their hand so roughly on my child regardless of what the reason was. +Apparently an actor was found dead in a Talk show host's home. Not sure what occurred but you have to feel sorry for those close to them. I certainly don't want to be negative and assume that demons finally caught up with him or an assault of some sort occurred but it is odd and they clearly have family who lost a loved one. It a shame that someone with talent to entertain and act would lose their life at a younger age and I guess it could be any of us but it's sad foor thoose who knew him and my heart goes out to them. +I heard about a rock climber who died in Vietnam trying to scale it's highest mountain. I remember we've talked about going on vacation there. Sadly it was a young guy, 22, not much younger than us. It's a really tragic story because he was on the trip with his girlfriend and when it went off on his own he became lost. In his final moments they were actually in contact through texting. +the reports of officers being killed just because they are police officers is obsurb. Police officers all get a bad reoutation because you got some dumbass officer that kills someone they had no right killing and all officers are tagged as murderers and corupt. officer are here to protect and serve you and keep you safe +Hey, This is some sad news. The rhino couldn't be saved from his infectious diseases, so he had to be put down. I feel bad for the animal as he or she didn't have to live this way. In addition, it was difficult to find treatment for the rhino, so I feel bad for the veterinarians that had to take care of the rhino. +Well here is another story about the dangers of selfies. I'm mystified by this "fad" of selfies. I have never even thought about taking one. But maybe thats just my age or generation. Anyhow another idiot taking a selfie got attacked by a snake. Seems like selfie taking affects the brain or at least the part of brain. I have heard about people getting in fatal car crashes while taking selfies, and falling off a cliff, and being fatally attacked by bears, lions, etc etc. Now a python. +A guy named Collins was charged with stealing nude celebrity photos and videos. While his behavior is clearly unacceptable, one thing to note is the article is calling this a hack. Hacking and nothing is safe, not you, not yours, not your loved ones, is kind of a way to make people afraid and keep reading. In reality, this guy just kinda sent an email to these celebrities and said hey i need your password this is google from google, hurry its an emergency and they fell for it. I feel bad for them, we've all been tricked at least once in our lives by something on the internet, but it isn't like this guy cracked the security of google and we're all doomed. +This is a terrible story. In a way, I feel happy that the child no longer has to suffer. Had the child lived he would be mess for the rest of his life. I am just angry at the mother. This is what happens when a state has weak laws. She is only facing 15 years for what she did. She should be given the death penalty. I am disgusted with the legal system. Thank God I don't live in California. +This person's actions were way over the top! While I may not necessarily like that Trump is in office but I still respect the fact that he is where he is. Just because I didn't get my way doesn't mean that I would act like this! This person took away from others and should be punished for what they did. +When he was born, my son tested for elevated lead levels in his blood, and we don't live near Chicago. We were more than a bit scared, and tried to help him learn not to stick things in his mouth. Lead damage is not reversible, and we lived in an old house. To think that every day people are drinking water with as much lead as indicated is a bit disturbing - and it's not going to be cheap to fix. +I would find it hard to believe that the students are still alive if they were handed over to the drug cartel. If these students were on a trip to hijack vehicles, then law enforcement should not use their time and resources to search for them, especially after 2 years. Their time should be spent on non-criminals. But if they believe the police are the ones who handed them over to a drug cartel, then they should probably look into that then using these same people to locate them. +The filthy scourge known as child slavery is rearing its ugly head again, this time in Myanmar. The United Nation's has estimated somewhere around one million Burmese children have had to stop going to school and start finding jobs. And trying to find a job is where in the trouble lies, it's very heart breaking for the families but with little other choice what can they do? +I don't believe this at all. I think people are overreacting to the news that Trump was elected president. There are always bad apples out there, no matter who the president is. To blame this on the president, right after he was even elected, is wrong. Give the guy a chance and get over it and try to make something positive of this. +Reading this article makes me upset. I hate what we do to native people. It seems as a society we seem to ignore their feelings and traditions just to move ourselves forward. We forget that we intruded onto their land to make ourselves homes that we enjoy yet we can't offer them the same good feeling. To even think that the option of having dangerous amounts of mercury seep into the waters is beyond me. +What are we going to do, start collecting cow farts? That sounds like a good job to me. I bet the benefits are good. I guess the liberals will try to blame meat eaters for this some how. I mean, maybe we can develop some kind of methane collection system and then use the cow farts to power the world. Talk about renewable energy! +It seems wind turbines are killing a lot of birds. In particular the golden eagle which is an endangered species, I believe the article said. I don't understand why they don't cage in the turbine blades like they do with house fans. I mean it sucks bird kind everywhere, but it's either the turbine or toxic smog. +I think if someone is going to take on that responsibility in raising cattle they should at least know what they are doing. This guy, Bundy, does not care for them. They hardly have food or water. They get no interaction so when they do need to round them up, they're mean. That should be illegal. I'm suprised he has not been caught yet. He is very lucky because when he get caught he will regret not taking proper care of them. +I hate the conflict that is happening here. I feel for the three soldiers that died and their families. I guess I'm too much of a pacifist but I really wish that people could realize that this level of conflict is a waste of resources and lives. However, I also know that this isn't how the world works. +I can't believe just how much manipulation went on behind the scenes of Donald Trumps campaign. I feel like we will never know the true extend of how corrupt his whole deal was. First you hear about all these huge collections of data and then you get the idots who defend him about climate change being fake. +Well, this certainly is rich and pathetic. The Muslims and their terrorist mouthpiece Council on American-Islamic Relations are all whiny that someone tried to do to them what they have been doing to everyone else all over the world. Never hear a word out of them when they're blowing up cars and shooting up innocent people in the streets do you? +This article is so alarming. The fact that many Indonesians aren't safe in their own home country is very distressing. A lot of people can't afford to leave, so they're stuck risking their lives because of this haze, which is nothing that they can do anything about. A lot of innocent people are getting a raw deal, here. +I think justice has been served one way or another. This person seemed like a danger to society. I think it's only right they should meet their end in this fashion. People like this should be removed from society before they do something that will hurt others. I feel bad for anyone who was in danger from this mad man. +Hi there. I just read an article and I feel like I need to share my thoughts on it. It was about an oil spill!! Oil spills are so upsetting. I feel so sorry for all the ocean life and animals that are affected and WILL be affected! It's so tragic. I wish we could prevent these from ever happening again. +Even though I am not in favor of the conservative party, I still do not understand why the Jewish people would be struggling to understand "Trump's electron". It is not a one party election so at some point or another the Democratic or the Republican party will be in the white house. There will always be naysayers on either side. Everyone everywhere do need prayers and I do appreciate the prayers from the Jewish community. +I could not help but think of my and my son would we be in a similar situation. I know my son is much younger and the situation would be very different, but part of me can feel the water as we are swimming to get safe. I can see myself looking back to be sure that he is still with me, maybe reaching back to try to pull him closer. It is a very intense thought. +The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different. I realize, ‘Wow, I really thought that I was so brave and so gracious this entire time and really I was just hiding.’” Handler, whose mom died of breast cancer in 2006, got choked up during the emotional interview. “Don’t cry! Don’t cry!” Doherty told the talk show host as Handler tried to hold back tears. “Well, I mean, all right — hold on a second,” Handler, 41, said, while tilting her head back to keep the tears from streaming down her face. “This was very hard and not humbling — because I’ve already been humbled by cancer,” Doherty then continues. “It was hard in the sense of rethinking sort of who you are and how you come to terms with who are now an +Hey just wanted to write you a quick note. I saw on the news today a women pushed another women into the train tracks at the midtown manhattan subway station yesterday. What is going on with people? The police didnt have a motive yet. The authorties said approx 24 people per year are killed on the tracks but its usually accidental. +Death to all cops! We cannot allow the police force to continue existing. They are nothing more than government sanctioned mass murderers that exist to protect White capitalist interests by slaughtering hundreds. We must deceively destroy the police as a concept without any hesitation or remorse. All police are our enemies! There are no good cops! +I read an article about a young mother-to-be who lost her twins, prematurely, after being shot in the stomach. It really raises a good question for me and a lot of people, which is: when do we consider a life to begin? As for me, I consider life to begin when a human takes his or her first breath. Possibly a religious thing, I guess -- my parents and grandparents and entire family believed the same. But because there is no unified belief system as to this issue, I find it difficult to form an opinion as to how people should be prosecuted when a fetus is harmed. I really wish there were one answer to this problem. +It disgusts me that this leak occurred, there should have been a better contingency plan to stop all of those gallons oil from spilling. I feel so bad for the environment and the animals who well be negatively affected by this spill. I feel compassion for the people who rely on the oil, and now have to pay inflated prices and search for gas. +There's something terrifying about being attacked by animals. It's even more horrifying to find out the animals that are attacking you are the ones you think are so cute and adorable. I just read an article about squirrels attacking a retirement home and injuring three elderly. It must have been so terrifying for them to encounter this event. Imagine going out to feed the squirrels like you usually do and in turn get attacked by these rabid critters! It's so shocking and I'm still shaking after reading this. They had to call in the ambulances and animal control to help the situation out. This is tragic. The bites from the attack could lead to rabies and other diseases. I feel troubled thinking about this because these elderly can't really react quick enough in these situations. +These are problems that US solider had to deal with for many year. Hell, you could even go back much, much further if you want to. War is hell, and it can--and often does--do a ringer to your psyche and overall mental health. That's why we as a society need to pump more resources into mental health as we do physical health. +I just read this article about a murder suicide. This couple, their three kids, and their dog were all dead from gunshot wounds. They even shot the dog. :( The family seemed really normal. They had some issues with stress and the relationship, but who doesn't? It's really eerie that people can be like that and you won't even know it. +I really think everyone should read this article. This story shows perfectly how damaging and dangerous guns can be to all people on both sides of the law. This is why this country needs to make it harder for everyone to be able to obtain a gun. This is especially true to those who have been involved in domestic and sexual abuse incidents. +I think its fine that people protest. I dislike president Trump as much as those protesters. But what they are doing its wrong. They cant be destroying property or been a menace for other people. Guys, do it peacefully, that's the best way to do things, otherwise you will get arrested and in trouble. +I think that it would a great thing if all students could get connected to the internet. The internet will provide them ways to learn more and it will help them further their education as well. I think that President Obama's plan for the internet should have really worked better to so that all students can have an opportunity to use computers anytime that they want to. +this article is about As part of its fight against childhood obesity, the organization of nations has called on Member States to introduce restrictions on advertising of aforementioned products on all platforms including the internet. In 2012 in Europe, said the WHO, children use ‘digital media’ for nearly two hours daily on weekdays. And on weekends, they’re online an extra half an hour longer. Internet use is increasing sharply, the organization added, and the trend covers all age groups. Hidden junk food ads online For starters, Google, Facebook and YouTube are the sites with most daily visits online. Meanwhile, Android and iPhone (iOS) are the top platforms on hand-held communication devices, and they also have advertisements via applications. +a 6.4 magnitude on the richter scale earthquake hasshaken up the whole capital of santiago, chile. chile is very propense to earthquakes and natural disasters. we have heard of an earthquake that scaled out to be 8.8 and destroyes over 200 thousand homes in chile. i feel very bad for the people who died. and send out my compassion to the family of the 55 dead in this earthquake. +Just read an article that explored Trump's appeal and why he won the election. It indicated that Trump had a simple appeal to the darker side of people, the look out for myself and not others side, it explored Trump's ability to partner with those that are hurting and feel left out of society through lack of jobs, etc. He used this association to promote his agenda, with simple phrases that were easy to remember, and tailored it to the good old boy network. The article didn't really explore Russia's influence on the election, only addressed Trump's appeal to certain groups. +Boring. I don't care, again, because it doesn't impact me or anyone I know directly. These people should move. I sure as hell wouldn't stay there. I do find it hilarious that this is happening in California, where they seem so concerned about every possible social issue under the sun, especially taking care of people who are here illegally, yet there are parts of the state where actual citizens can't drink the water like they're living in a third world nation. Then again, given Commiefornia's stated desire to secede, they might get to live their third world dream. +Reading about atrticles like this in a country i dont care about has no meaning to me. Im lower class worker in the USA. This kind of stuff makes no difference in my life because i struggle to even feed my kids. People facing hardship in other coutries is there problem not mine and i have no real feeling towrds those people +I cannot believe there is someone evil enough in this world to torture a poor, helpless kitten this way. Did you read this article? The kitten was wrapped so tightly, it's little legs were close to it's face. It made me cry. It is horrifying to think people that are capable of this exist. Anyone that does this is a true psychopath. What will they do next? Murder young children? Anyone that is that cruel to animals should be punished. Please share. We have to raise awareness. +I just read an article about U.S. soldiers being killed in Jordan. This is tearing my heart out and I can't get the images of what must have happened out of my mind. You know that I was in the military myself and it makes it that much harder on me. I can't begin to imagine how the families of these soldiers must feel. From what I read, apparently this was an accident and the soldiers were shot when they failed to stop at the checkpoint going into the base. The base was already on alert due to a previous car bomb attack. I'm guessing that they felt they couldn't take any chances on it being another car bomber and went ahead and shot at the vehicle. It's so sad. It's bad enough that these brave men have to face dangers from the enemy, but when they get taken down by friendly fire? +This article was very interesting but also written a little strange. It was about a wolf who had wondered off from the pack. The wolf was a protected wolf part of a group being protected by some biological organization. Had a tracking monitor on him and his life was largely documented. I guess he wondered from the pack looking to mate. Well the government, federal government, killed the wolf by a sniper person and its caused a big uproar. Kind of weird but I guess that is a thing. +Gosh, another article about the Middle East and terrorists. This was is pretty much like the one I ready earlier. Things never get better. The terrorists won't even allow people to leave the city they're holding, to try and reach the Iraqi army nearby who could help them. Maybe the UN needs to step in and do something. +Bankia a banking company in Spain had their board members spend unauthorized private money from the bank on hotels, entertainment food, and other luxuries. All this was spent from credit cards used by the bank itself. The spending was unauthorized and not reported to the tax authorities at all. Bankia was already in the limelight already due to being bailed out by the government in 13 million dollars. +I just read an article about leprosy found in squirrels. It is kind of scary to think about what diseases can be lurking in other animals that we are not even aware of. I worry enough about this kind of stuff as it is, and now I just have more to worry about when I leave the house. Sometimes I think that ignorance is bliss. It makes me want to just stay inside. +Like I have said before and will say it till I am blue in the face. I hate Donald Trump. He is not progressing the United States of America forward. He says his new slogan is Keep America Great, well, buddy, you got to make it great in the first place. He is one racist, misogynistic, egotistical liar and cannot wait till he leave, however way. +I didn't realize that a dam could cause so much problem. It is a shame that the people who are going to be impacted the most are the indigenous people. I don't understand how people feel it is okay to do this to them. Maybe there are many pros that I just don't know about and this article is focusing only on the negative of the methylmercury. I guess this goes to show that we as a human race can affect the environment in maybe a not so good way. What do you think about this? I am curious what you have to say about this. +I just read a very interested and heart touching article concerning Haiti. It is very sad to think about the amount of suffering the Haitian people have gone through in the past years. A lot of very sad hardships, from Earthquakes destroying already terrible infrastructure, to intense poverty. It makes me want to help the people. +Why do people do this. I would really hope that people did not take their own life, but if you are going to take your own life, why take other people's lives with yours? Why would you kill your own children, I do not know what kind of pain this man was going through, but I do not believe he should have taken that pain out on his children. I wonder how we can prevent this from happening. Are there early warning signs that we can spot? Did he ask for help in his life? I just really feel sorry for the children, they never got to live nowhere near a full life. +The story about what is going on currently in Venezuela is devastating. It is almost haunting and definitely disturbing. The economic crisis that is happening there is not only affecting people, but also the animals that live there. Especially in the zoos. We don't often let how a crisis in countries can affect animals cross our minds, we typically only think of the people. Not only is directly affecting the animals in the way that they are being fed diets that are drastically different from they should be consuming, but the people there are having to hunt animals that we would not typically deem acceptable. Such as cats, and dogs, and even going as far as to steal horses from racetracks simply to eat them, or to feed them to animals at the local zoos. Many animals have suffered for weeks. +Hey, I was just reading an article about that house fire that happened in WV. Can you imagine the tragedy? That is such a horrible way to die. And to think that two of the victims were children plus their dog. It makes me ill just thinking about it. Such a huge loss for that family and the community. I hope officials find out soon what caused it and I pray for the friends and family of those who were killed. So sad! +There has been more fighting from the Saudis in nearby Yemen. The United States continues to supply the Saudis with weapons and intelligence, despite the atrocious use they will be put to. These war crimes seem to be increasingly commonplace, yet the US continues to pursue the almighty dollar in supporting Saudi Arabia. +I just read an article blaming Donald Trump and his campaign for hate crimes against Muslims rising. It was your typical propaganda that the media pushes on you - you know, fear mongering mixed with unsubstantiated nonsense. It mentioned the supposed "Muslim ban" that Trump was responsible for. At that point, I lost interest in the article as it was 100% clear what the agenda was. +So, I had to read an article about somebody named Kylie Jenner, and evidently she has some sort of makeup line or something. Anyway, evidently she must be popular for some reason, because people are making counterfeit cosmetics and selling them as her brand. She put out some message about how you should only buy direct from her website. I guess a sucker is born every minute. +I was reading an article about the Zika virus. It was a fairly comprehensive article that went over what the virus was and how it affects humans. It's scary how it can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. I still don't think I have any serious chance of contracting the virus fortunately. Those that have are going to have a hard time in life. +I just read about an old couple that died while out in the water. Apparently they may have had some kind of health conditions, but nobody really knows. The people who checked the bodies think it was probably heart attacks that killed them. Anyway, it's really scary to think that at any given moment our hearts can just stop working and then we are gone forever. +What a terrifying ordeal that these plaintiffs went through. If I was them, I would be suing whoever was responsible, too. I try to avoid putting myself into situations like these, but life often does not care what you want. I hope that these people get the closure that they are seeking. I know I would want closure. +If you are using trumps name to make him look bad is not the answer here. I know that trump is not being a good president right now but lets not discredit his success. Somebody burned a church that is not related to Donald Trump at all, lots of Families go to that church. I think someone used this attack as an attack to Donald Trump because he is not affiliated with this and makes people look like he caused this +It is disturbing that one person’s views (such as President of the USA) can be so disruptive to people’s lives. The situation with the immigrants from Mexico and the idea of building a southern border wall is upsetting to me. President Trump policy and views are disruptive to the whole economy of Mexico, causes political tension and instability, not to mention the extreme uncertainty in the lives of Mexican immigrants in USA, who already have hard lives here. +Did you know that Saudi woman needs a man's approval for like everything? To work, to rent a flat, to get medical treatment. What is really sad is that even if she is widowed sometimes HER SON is asked for permission. There is a protest going on right now to get them to be able to be their own guardians after a certain age. I am very proud of these woman for fighting for their rights. I hope I get to read another article at a later date saying some kind of law was passed to let them have their own rights. +I feel so bad for Val, he is battling this disease and people are dwelling on the fact he may die soon. I think Douglas cares for Val,however,he should not make public comments regarding Val's condition, that is very intrusive to Val, and I feel anger towards Michael for being so rude and invading towards Val's condition. +Major Issue: "Study: More toddlers and preschoolers are overdosing on opioids — In recent years, rates of toddlers and preschoolers hospitalized for opioid overdoses more than doubled, according to a new study. In fact, overdoses rose more than 100% over a 16-year period among all children, the study published in JAMA Pediatrics Oct. 31 showed. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine analyzed national data from the Kids’ Inpatient Database on children admitted to U.S. hospitals for opioid poisoning. The study focused on more than 13,000 records from patients ages 1 to 19 between 1997 to 2012. What's to blame? Possibly the increase of prescribed pain killers, including OxyContin and Vicodin. " Really? Try doped up irresponsible parents who leave it lying around in the first place. +Hey, this is one reason I don't get on rides at amusement parks anymore. They are not reliable and they freak me out thinking that they are going to break. I got stuck on a roller coaster one time and I hated it. I was scared out of my mind. That was the last time I ever got on a ride. I'm not putting myself though that again no matter how fun the rides used to be. That must have been a horrible death for those people. +It's very upsetting to me that people feel they still need to poach elephants and rhinos just for their ivory. It's a species that you are making extinct here. Why are people not trying to control or help the situation more? There has to be some kind d of co trolling standards for the extinction of the rhino and elephant. I believe I saw something not that long ago that actually painted the tusks and got s of elephants and rhinos that permantely stained them so the poachers work not beable ti use the ivory. They stained them a pink or blue color. We should try and regulate that and do that so no one will kill these animals. If that's possible. +I would feel absolutely horrible to be in any of these parents shoes, I feel like they probably think they are completely lost, anxious, deserted. I would be a complete mess. I dont know exactly what i would do in that situation. I feel like the chaces are good neough for them to try for that second baby but i do inderstand them not wanting to rry because of the small chances of the other one having the zika virus anyways. +These are the headlines that I have to read these days! I just can't believe all of the horrid news that is taking over our lives lately. And now we have to worry about when our men and women go out to train, that this kind of thing can end of happening at the drop of a hat. So, who is responsible after this? Who helps the children now without parents? Who pays for everything surrounding their funerals, and all of the costs after that? +It really doesn't make since to me that someone would come to America and then carry out terrorist attacks. I would think they would stay in their own country if they hated this one so much. So I really wonder who the supposed terrorist are. The news media and government would have to do a better job explaining why the "terrorist" are carrying out these attacks because the reasons that they give doesn't make much sense to me. It just creates even more questions than answers. +i just read an article about a father who killed his daughter's adoptive grandfather because he had molested her and got off with a light sentence. its crazy. i mean, i can see why he would snap, if you can call it that, but.. i dont know. my feelings are all over the place. if someone hurt my kids i could see imagining killing tyhem, but i doubt i could acct on it. and there are all these people cheering his actions. like he has this weird fan club for doing it. his life is ruined, his daughter is a mess dealing with the guilt of it all, someone is dead. and it said on the way to kill the old man, he shot at an old boyfriend of hers he suspected was abusive. idk, maybe the heat of the moment since he already decided he was going to jail for murder. just such an emotional read +Hey, I think you should be careful around the Canonsburg area next time you visit Pennsylvania. The crime has been increasingly more dangerous within the past few years. According to this article that I read online, a police officer was shot to death and another police officer was injured in an ambush. I feel that if you were to come down to visit the area, then there would be something similar happening to other people. Ambushes, riots, and shootings are all problems occurring in the area. I feel bad for this city as it has a chance to redeem itself as a great city; however, with all the criminal activities happening, it makes it difficult to do that. +It's always sad to hear of entertainers, especially comics, losing their spark because of dementia. I wasn't really a Monty Python fan myself but I've heard a lot about them growing up and it seems that they were a great deal of fun for their fans. I know they influenced and produced some favorite comics of mine. +I've noticed there is a lot of disasters going on in the world. It is scaring me a little. I think that us humans have fault for that. This world cares way to much about money. If we didn't care to much about money we would have less problems going on. I honestly feel this world is coming to an end. I don't see any improvements or feel there is going to be any improvements. There is more natural disasters, new diseases, obesity, cancer more and more people are dying. So many people need mental help a lot of us are very depressed and anxious. I think it is very important for us to stay closer to god. +A Jordanian writer was shot and killed outside of a courthouse due to a cartoon he posted mocking ISIS. It's amazing that someone could be persecuted for mocking a terrorist organization who rose to fame by killing people and causing civil unrest. What reasonable country would prosecute someone for this? +This article reminds me of an incident that happened when I was a teenager. My stepdad worked at a power plant and there was some small explosion and three people died. One of them was the father of a guy I knew from school. I had heard his head was crushed. It was very disturbing imagery and it has stuck with me since. I worry about my husband working in a dangerous job, too, but it seems generally a lot of guys working in these places aren't following safety rules and that's how the accidents happen. +I just read this crazy article about Wells Fargo that I thought I would share with you. It turns out that low level employees were signing people up for products and things that they did not need. Sometimes they were even forging signatures to get this done. Now before you jump to conclusions and thin k that this is all the employees fault let me fill you in some more. Management came up with a quota and incentive system where employees(who don't make very good money to begin with) would make extra money the more people they signed up to these new accounts. So basically the people in charge over there thought that it was a good idea to screw over their account holders and give their low-level employees crazy quotas, all so they could make more money. Then its the workers getting fired. +Just read an article about a celebrity's parents divorcing, which definitely sucks, since that's always been something I've feared would happen with my parents. I don't think the writer of the article understands the emotional weight of the situation, though, since they only seem to care about the fact that the dad that filed for divorce is good looking. +Did you see where that Australian hiker found after 2 weeks in Malaysian jungle. He only had one day of food with him. He lived on berries and stuff. I think I could survive in the woods like that. I know a lot about native plants so I would do pretty good. Of course as long as it wasn't some place cold. The jungle would be hard but only if there are wild animals that would like to eat you for their food. At least the weather would be better. +Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu.

Too many readiu. +I am sorry for this teacher who is just trying to do his best in a heated political moment. I have no doubt that he was only attempting to teach to the best of his ability and represent facts as he always has. I wish people could approach each other with more compassion in the spirit of education rather than attack those who are trying to better our children. I am glad to see that he received some national support. +Hey. I'm not sure if you have ever considered getting yourself screened for colon cancer. From what I have read, the prep for this screening seems quite unpleasant. Drinking massive amounts of a questionable substance heavy with salt doesn'r seem to be like a good time to me. I noticed that some items from a company have made it to phase two trials through the FDA. One is a food bar and the other one is a smoothie. They are supposed to have some kind of flavors to them like strawberry and lemon. I guess this should help with the process. +Dear C., I just read an article about gun deaths -- specifically when guns are used against children. Small, isolated cases that happened in small towns. As I was reading the background and history of the families, it occurred to me that there's a strong socioeconomic component present, and that the people described weren't what you and I would call middle-class, and definitely not well-educated. It's like we were talking about the other day, I don't think that the dems can possibly win this fight unless they are able to appeal to gun owners. I don't think that this dynamic is going to change -- I mean, when you think about it, guns symbolize power, and in the article I read, what came across is that the people who used them against children (one child against another) need to feel power. +She lost my sympathy really quick. Seems like she likes attention. This does make me look at Paris differently. These all seem like inside jobs. I would be safe there. But, I still don't plan on visiting. Not a fan of people endorsing candidates in countries that they can not vote. Seems like an ego thing. +So I just had to read this article for a survey. It was completely unformatted, an enormous text-wall essay list. I made it all the way through though. I'm not really into sports, which the article focused on, but the article did talk about a bunch of prominent women in sports and their accomplishments. It was a little hard to follow because I'm not really familiar with a lot of sports terminology or what accomplishments are big deals. I think people generally care more about men's performances, but it's good that women can be recognized for their accomplishments in sports too. There was one bit about a woman who got some popularity over what the writer called a "raunchy" photo shoot. I think that's kinda weird that something like that was even included in an article with feminist tone. +The good news is we live in a place that does not have much air pollution. The bad news is that people that have lung cancer that is exposed to air pollution may have a shorter survival time. Air pollution kills thousands of people each year. Researchers claim that the median survival for people diagnosed with early stages of lung cancer is expected to live 3 times shorter amount of time than those that do not. Of course, we all should stay away from cigarette smoke but it is unfortunate that we have air pollution. They can figure out a way to get to the moon but can not seem to figure out a way to clean our air. +I think there are way to many people watching CNN in this country. They need to grow up. People are way to sensitive. We can not walk around on egg shells worrying about if we are going to offend someone. People will say mean things. People will hurt your feelings. grow up and get over it. Don't let it bother you. These people do not rule your life. You do! +A Russian twelve year old left for school one morning. Her mother went looking for her when she didn't return home. When she called her cell phone she was told that her daughter had committed suicide as a part of some social group that takes their own lives. It's sad to see kids seeking attention in this light. +This article talks about pouching in Africa. It's really sad hearing about the rhinos. We need to protect these animals. These animals are more important that the people poaching them. Those poachers deserve to die; they are horrible people and they are destroying a unique species. This is a terrible thing. They desperately need to protect these poor rhinoes from people. +Crushed to death by a machine that makes recycled plastics into pellets? Really? What a terrible way to die. My guess is that standard operating procedure does not include crawling inside the machine to unclog it. I understand that it is a tragedy, but geez, at some point people have to be held accountable for their own actions. I'm sure there will be a lawsuit, probably a hefty one, but I hope they lose. There doesn't seem to be any reason the company should be held accountable for his actions unless there was a malfunction of the overall systems. I'm trying not to picture it in my mind. Yikes! +I remember how hard I was to my mother especially in my teens.It can be rough and now I see that instead of how it use to be.As a kid you always think that you know what is best that you are number one.You don't really think about other people and their feelings and you tend to rebel and jsut be this horrible version of yourself. +This article about post-traumatic stress disorder is disturbing on many levels. This country really doesn't take care of our veterans. Not to mention the fact that Vietnam and Iraq were unnecessary wars in the first place. I worry we're headed for another war, and with the VA in the state that it's in, how can they possibly care for more war veterans? They can't meet the needs of the ones who already need help. It's heartbreaking to imagine these soldiers re-experiencing the war over and over again. However, I am glad to hear that there is help for people who have PTSD. I remember when we were kids and first hearing about PTSD in Vietnam vets, it was thought that no one ever recovered from it. Healing is possible, but the vets have to find the right people to help them. +This is a perfect example of why we need cameras everywhere. They have this guy on video doing all the bad things he would do. There is no way anyone can make any excuses for him now. They will surely try, though. BLM will probably come up with some story about how he was an upstanding citizen or something we have already heard before. +This article is just awful. Boko Haram is an extremist group that needs to be stopped by any means necessary. The fact of the matter is these people are using religion as an excuse to rape and kill woman and children, and thats one of the most unmoral and unethical things I can think of. These poor women and children are not only kidnapped and drugged, but they are also dealing with being raped and having their loved ones killed. This is an awful and tragic issue, and this is something that needs to be shown throughout the entire world that these people are bad and need to be stopped. +its very sad that Sally Jessy Raphael Said that She Was ‘Betrayed’ By Talk Show Producers When Sally Jessy Raphael’s self-titled talk show aired in the ‘80s and ‘90s, it found success as a topic-driven program with relatively relatable stories. But by its end, Raphael tells “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” that her series had devolved into a show of salacious content and tabloid fodder like some of her talk-show peers, and she was not happy about it this makes a bad ending +I know that the affordable care act will effect alot of people out there who are already struggling but this is an issue that just sounds wrong to me. First because so many women that I know who have gotten and IUD had complications and second because the issue of women being able to choose to have an abortion is a bitter conversation to me. +Before social media, you had to pay to get out information about your business. Now, every person and company is its own media brand - and there are significantly less barriers to reaching people.his has allowed smaller brands to gain a foothold in the market much easier. When we see trends like craft beer, food trucks, and local fashion, that is often the result of harnessing social media platforms to build a following in a cost effective way. Prior to smartphones and social adoption, it was much more difficult (and expensive) to reach people, especially if your location wasn’t on a main street. One or two small businesses isn’t enough to worry a big brand, but millions of them around the country can make a serious dent in their market shar +It's about time! I really support them doing this petition. I hope that they take it seriously and are able to liberate the Saudi women who have been oppressed for so long. You would never see that kind of ownership/guardianship system in places like the United States. Maybe feminism really is sparking change around the world. +The reason why they're killing people over there is because the Allied Forces are occupying their country. If only we would keep our nose out of others' business, then maybe, just maybe the world would become a better place. But as with all empires (and America is no different ), they eventually fall because of internal forces. +I just read this article about a really bad accident that happened at a water park. Apparently, the ride malfunctioned and threw some kids from the ride and the parents were stuck in the raft and they were stuck underwater and were hitting the machinery below. Everyone kept talking about how horrific it was and what a terrible tragedy it was. I feel really bad for these people and it really makes you wonder if you should go to a park ever again. You're suppose to have fun at these places but you never really ever think about actually getting hurt when you get on these rides. Those poor people, they just wanted to have a nice afternoon and it just ended so badly. +Three quarters of a year after the Zika outbreak was declared a global health emergency, the virus has infected almost seven hundred thousand men and women across Latin America. One estimate in the tens of thousands represents the number of infected expecting mothers. This is feared to result in fetal deformities. +Religion should be a freedom of choice. Some people are Christians and some are Muslims or Islamic. This makes me sad Christians chose a different religion so why should the Islams brutalize them and hurt them? That is cruelty and one of the reasons why there will always be war in those countries. I don't think I would ever want to visit those places, I would be very scared. They target Christians and kill priests. These people are heartless, forcing these people out of their home. +I just don't understand Russia. I mean they seem to be a country that is civilized, right? How is it that they so openly support terrorism? I just don't understand how they stand with Syria and are OK with all of the horrible things that are happening there. I think if Russia actually stood up for what is right, the world would be a much better place. +Man, they are ruining the giraffe habitat of the Rothschild giraffe. It kind of sucks, but what can you do? All we do as humans is destroy nature anyway, and when it comes right down to it, I'm sick of hearing about "This endangered species, That endangered species." It is near nauseating to hear people continually express concern over things we cannot even change. The habitats are going to be destroyed, animals are going to die - so what? As humans, we are a plague on the earth, but pretending that is going to change any time soon is silly and fool-hearted. I wish people would stop pretending to be concerned over things that they ultimately have almost no influence on, anyway. +Ya know a lot of people hate the Jews. Yet we both know lots of Jews and I like most of them. To me it doesn't really matter as I never even thought about someone being a Jew until I got older. People are people. Jews are smart. Jews have always been smart at least for generations. Smart people make money and are good at business. Just the way it goes. Jew, Jew Jew, I'm sick of all of the Jew hate. OTOH people have a legitimate concern to fear that Trump being elected will cause problems like WW2 did. After all Jews tend to be Republican and likely donated a ton of money to Trump and they are more powerful today than they ever were. Still whatever, it doesn't affect us. +I had no idea Shannen Doherty was going through breast cancer. It is such a tough situation to experience. Cancer really does humble the soul into new places that one never thought possible to emerge stronger from feeling. It sounds like she faced it with a mask of strength at first. After time, the real emotions came through where she realized the strength was not in being stoic but admitting how tough it really is to experience. It is through supposed weakness that we become stronger. +Man its really upset that we cant have a peaceful protest. Why cant we just voice our opinion in a peaceful way. Why does it always have to start and end with violence. Why do that have to destroy businesses that had nothing to do with the protest. Totally sucks for people who are just trying to live their lives peacefully. +hopefully you did not go through much reading this particular messade unfortuanetly this happens everyday and people throw vbnlind eyes tro the situation because no one wants to deal with this kind ofstuff but i am presenting this tuff to you so you guys can acknowldge it and be awareof it and be a little more bit educated about stuff liek this and so on +I just read an article about famed basketball star, Scottie Pippen. Someone thought it was new worthy to make the world aware that he and his wife got into a screaming match and she was afraid. The truth is, no one but their family knows what's really going on. His wife could be a very dramatic person. She could be giving him a hard time. While domestic violence and emotional abuse should never be tolerated, we should leave people to deal with their own screaming matches. +Terribly sorry for all the families affected by this incident. I confident that the Russians had something to do with this. They interfered with our election too. They are corrupt and shady. This further demonstrates that you can't trust the Russians. I'm so done with them. I'm not sure what needs to be done but I wish Putin disappeared from this Earth. +It's bad that these 2 died, but I have to believe they had to have know the risks involved. I think so many of us, even knowing the risks, think that "it can't happen to me" and do things we shouldn't. It's so sad for their families! I'm not sure what is the right thing to do. Signs are posted, and divers know the risks. But would it be better to permanently close the area? I'm on the fence. +Avoid reading this article. It's so fucking long for saying so little. The author feels the need to go on and on about irrelevant details and it comes off as the ramblings of a skito out on the street corner. It's the same nonsense the media pushes about those poor kids, but doesn't delve into how none of this shit would have happened if people were responsible and didn't make shit choices that are obviously bad. +IT is just sad that someone would think this is an acceptable way to resolve any problem. He clearly needed more help than he was getting and it is unfortunate that it was recognized that he needed help or the mother didn't take steps to leave sooner. I guess in life sometimes you just can't tell what is going to happen or what will set someone off. +These poor birds. We need to start recycling more and making sure our plastics are at least cut up. The beads in the plastic seem to be a good idea to try and detour the birds from eating it. All these simply thing we as humans can be doing to prevent these terrible things from happening. I feel like recycling and people having knowlegde about these plastics and polluting our environment are everywhere for Americans to see.i just kind of wonder the countries that had the highest percent of plastic in their oceans do they educate or inform those countries like america does? Why are those country so much higher then the others what do we need to do to reduce that number? +I had no idea that caffeine powder could cause problems like that! Other than the obviousness of it being caffeine, I wonder if it's any worse than coffee in that way, or if it's just because its usually a hidden product. Also comfrey, I have definitely taken in things before, it's been in menstrual supplements, I didn't know that. I feel like I've seen green tea powder in something as well. +hello friend, how have you been lately, I am somewhat depressed by an article that I read recently, that helped me a lot, that I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this, for example: He did not vaccinate or treat his cattle due to illness; he does not use cowboys to control them and cope; does not manage or control the reproduction +So sad! The middle east just keeps getting worse. I hate what’s happening to these people, but I’m not sure how to solve it. I wish there was a simple, easy fix. However, it seems like every time we try to fix something it just gets worse. It’s such a complex situation with no easy answer. Unfortunately, I don’t see it being solved any time soon. +I can understand being absent minded and concentrating on other things to the point you're so laser focused you forget some small things around you. But how in the hell do you forget your kid is in the backseat of the car, much less come back to the car hours later and still not see the kid in there. It makes no sense, it's hard to believe the guy did it on purpose, but it's hard to believe he didn't remember him twice. Really sad and tragic. +Not that we need to necessarily get ourselves overly involved in the affairs and well-being of other countries, but we should definitely be paying attention to what is going on in the world around us. There is human suffering everywhere and I think that most of the time we are completely oblivious to it, or we don't want to face it. I believe that it is a good thing to be able to realize how cruel human beings can be to one another and to appreciate what we have when we have it and not take things for granted. Considering we could always have it much worse. +I just read an article on the decision this week to dismiss the Kenyan general in charge of the peacekeeping force there. I agree that the restoration of a peace agreement is important and vital in this situation. I hope they can figure it out and the fighting that is happening all over the country can finally end and they can have peace. +The fact that human beings are abusing the planet and each other is evident in this article. It is enough to get you depressed, read this so you can get an idea of how pollution affects third wolrd countries. Instead of going after industries (probably all American) with fines, they rather close schools because of the pollution and smog. Their health is being affected and not only that, the enviroment is being completely abused. +I just read an article about an elementary school volunteer producing child porn with kids as young as NINE. This is absolutely disgusting. How can anyone violate our sweet children like that. He gave out cell phones and used an anonymous social media app to solicit videos and photos of boys and girls performing sexual acts :( I am so perturbed that people are so disgusting. I can promise you if this ever happens to any of my kids they are going to be a very sorry person. +A fire destroyed a family's house. The people escaped and suffered no harm but two of their cats died. As a result of the fire, they are displaced but at least they're alive. At least the Red Cross is helping them out. They might be sad about the pets but I am sure they feel fortunate that no people died in this fire. +This story left me feeling pretty confused. It was so short and didn't provide a lot of answers at all. I was left wondering why France wanted to dismantle the camp and why the refugees were so angry and against the move. What was really going on here? Were there some other issues that had nothing to do with humanitarian considerations? It seems like there's usually more to the story with refugee stories. +I feel very sad for the civilians who are caught in the crossfire. It's sad that people are stuck in the middle of this conflict. I wish there was a peaceful resolution. Both sides should really keep the ceasefire if only to protect the civilians who are caught in the middle. Those people have no control over any of this. +I totally support these protesters. We've had trouble with oil pipelines here in Michigan. I feel like these pipelines are foisted on local communities without any care for whether it is good for the community and without adequate studies as to how safe they are from leaks and pollution. There are more important things in life than money and oil. +Jose Fernandez was a pitcher for the Miami Marlins and unfortunately died in a major boating accident where they rammed a rock. I got to read more into his life and upbringing and it's truly sad to see such a good man fall in such a preventable way. I truly feel for all those who suffered his loss. It's such a sad event and it's stuff like this that makes you be more appreciative of the time you have. +I just read an article about how Billy Bob Thorton felt about his marriage to Angelia Jolie. He expressed that he did not feel good enough to be with her. This was kind of surprising. It made me feel empathic towards him. He stated that he did not like being around rich and important people. This made me feel like he is relatable. I did find it odd that they both wore vials of blood around their necks while they were together. It was a little gross. He even went into detail about how they cut their fingers together to get the blood and then compared it the lockets you can buy and put pictures of your grandmas in. I also did not realize that he is 20 years her junior. I found that to be a little old but I have seen it work. The article also briefly touched on her relationship with Brad. +I just read another article about clashes over in the middle east and I am sending it over to you. This kind of thing has been going on forever ,,, my whole life and I have to admit that I am becoming immune to these types of stories and lost all empathy for these people. Normally you would read a story such as this and be heartbroken for the women and children who lost their lives but there is a story (or 2 or 3 or 10) like this every day and for decades and no end in sight. So just pile up the bodies of the woman and stack up the children murdered. Herd the maimed into a corner and block it all all of your concious. Too much insanity and too much gore to think about so the healthy thing for you do is just ignore these stories since there will a new one or two or ten tommorrow and forever +I cant believe how some countries treat criminals. I agree that they should be punished and face consequences but beating them to death is definitely excessive especially when the crime is not that bad. I'm not sure how that helps the crime rates and I definitely dont think we should consider that method where we come from. +I thought reading an article about iconic moments of women athletes would be quite a bit more interesting and moving than it was. Instead, it was mostly a rattling of championships and medal counts with very few anecdotal pieces of information. The only things that really stood out were the story of the marathon runner and the swimmer because there were interesting stories attached to them. +I'm really confused at why multiple articles were mushed together like this. At first I was perturbed at the first article because I felt like the lady was being ridiculous. She weighs 500 pounds, so obviously a 1200 calorie diet is going to cause her to lose weight, the fact that she can't find a scale to weigh her doesn't matter. You don't need a scale to tell you're losing weight. Measure your body with measuring tape. But then I got to the article about the Mexican students and found it really horrifying. I can't believe the terrible things people do to one another :( +Another presumably liberal leaning teacher has been placed on leave after comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. He claims his statements are all backed by historical facts. I support the school district's decision to suspend him. If statements like this had been made about Barack Obama, it would likely be all over nightly news. +I feel really bad for the woman, Janis Barinsky, this article is writing about. Nobody should have to go through such torture and borderline abuse at their workplace to endure this type of behavior and thoughts. For a company to treat their employees this way and to push them to the verge of suicide is just out right awful. +I did not know much about Cohen before I read the article about his death. I heard the Jeff Buckley song of course because it appears in Shrek. I also think that the Irish girl did a cover of Bird on a Wire that I like. He did a lot of work and was an influence over much of the music scene. It was sad he got ripped off and had to work so hard to re-earn his fortune. It is an informative article and worth a read if you don't know much about him. +I can't believe we live in a world where terrorism—both domestic and foreign—are such a looming threat. Being out in public now more dangerous than ever, and it's all because of the convoluted sociological web of conservative ideology that has promoted domestic terrorism in white heterosexual American masculinity and the xenophobia that inspired Islamic terrorism. There's just too damned much hate in this world, and hopefully more people will find love and nurturing like the author of this book found while writing about her trauma. +This article I just read is incredibly intellectually dishonest. The notion that women were somehow exiled from talking points and inclusion in the Trump campaign is actually nauseating. This kind of narrative is truly what the modern liberal exists upon. It's disgusting. I'm not a Trump fan, but mark my words, this kind of crap will be the reason why he wins in 2020. +Man, car crashes happen all the time. There is no way they can be prevented. I would like to think that the smart cars of the future would help prevent this, but I am not to sure. Somebody could probably hack those and cause massive car wrecks as well. People should also drive safer as well. There is definitely too much speeding. I wonder if drunk driving was the cause of the wreck. That's a huge problem that causes a bunch of wrecks. Don't drink and drive people. +So, in India there's a lot of corruption and the Prime Minister made a promise to stop it. He made a pretty extreme decision to get rid of the two highest denominations of currency in the country, so that people who were hoarding cash and not paying taxes on it would lose out. There was a grace period, but the country was really unprepared for it still. The banks didn't have enough smaller bills to trade to people. The poor weren't able to go to work because they had to stand in line at ATMs. Someone made a really good point that the real money from corruption is stored in Swiss banks. I agree! +Maybe they should evaluate him and figure out why he did what he did so that when he gets released, he's not tempted to do it again. The story really didn't tell why he did it or if he was mentally challenged or anything, it just says that he injured the bird. The bird is a sad case of what a zoo is. Those animals should be in the wild, and not cooped up for people to ooh and aah at them in a park +If you're here illegally, you shouldn't be here. I don't have much sympathy. Sure, if your parents brought you here, you didn't have much choice...but figure out how to be here legally. I don't have much sympathy for people here illegally. There are ways to do things right...and there are rules for a reason. +Its crazy! Over One million children couldn't go to school because the smog was so thick ! they said its like smoking 40 cigerattes a day . That you feel like you are being choked when you walk outside . Could you even imagine ? Parents taking their kids to the docs and them saying get out of the city for a few days and they will be ok . That's just crazy to me . so sad . +I don't know if you've seen this article about the war on cops, but I found it pretty unconvincing. It actually made me a bit angry, because it focuses on police deaths form two years ago and doesn't take into account current figures. Also, by focusing on deaths alone, it completely glosses over injuries to paint a picture that policing is safe in the current climate. It feels a lot like fake news to me. All you have to do is pick up the paper to see how often cops are involved in fights with criminals and crazy people. +This is very sad. I can only imagine how stressful it must be for the people living in the areas threatened by these fires. It must be so stressful knowing that you have to be ready to evacuate any minute and leaving your home and all your belongings behind to possibly never seeing them again. I also feel bad for all the wildlife. +This is such a weird experience and so unexplained. Why are so many people dying in the Med? there are not enough safety measures being put in place so that people can safely enjoy themselves. It is so easy to take someone's money but then you do not give them the safety that they paid for. It's sad and such a shame but honestly, I not at all surprised. +This article about the Philippines mayor is very alarming. It is a shame that so many people resort to corruption and bad deeds. It is also unfortunate that it had to end in casualties. People should really evaluate their behavior and how it impacts others. I would not want to go traveling there if this is how they behave! +I don't really understand the uproar over some birds. Maybe I am being just unsympathetic, or maybe I'm not as understanding as I thought I originally was. To spend all this money, and all this time, to save these birds, seems kind of silly to me. Why don't we focus the funds on something else that actually helps people? +Putting make up on a train, is that just paint? Ha ha. I don't want to make too big a deal about this because it is a different culture and it would be difficult to get the full gist without knowing too much about it. With that said, it's is pretty worrisome, in this country as well, how much people are telling everyone what they should and shouldn't be doing. Live and let live is still the best way to go about things and comparing putting on make up on a train to pooping on the train is pretty ridiculous by any standard. +I think that people try to pin a lot of stuff on trump as far as sexism goes, but it doesn't really matter. if people want trump out of office then they need to find something else to pin on him. He tampered with the election via the russians, and thats what people need to pin on him. This sexism nonsense isn't going to go anywhere +I think the short of it really is that the racists won the election. It is incredibly sad that such a seemingly easy to win election against someone who is openly calling groups of racist things, and actually encouraging hate and chaos, was lost. The democrats are right to be taking a long look at how they do things, they've always been the party that is "we're like the republicans, but you won't gag as much voting for us." I think the average person who cares about politics, and is liberal, got a shocking wake up call this time around, and we're going to see people turn out in incredible numbers to vote. +Boy I can't ever imagine being in a fire like these people. First Your scared about just trying to get out. Then your looking out for your neighbors and their pets. Man just tragic really tough. Now they have to find somewhere to stay. Just turns your life upside down. Paperwork keepsakes so hard to get over. Even if your not hurt it must affect you for the rest of your life. +Hello, how are you doing meN? Remember that chat we had a week ago about Haiti? I was just reading an article about it, never thought things could have been so bad, they are even worse than what I imagine worst than what we talked about. I find it funny how we are so enclosed in our small little world, while in Chicago we are celebrating about CUBS victory in over 100 years, in Haiti, they are suffering for water and food. +These people were guests who were presumably staying illegally at this camp. They were allowed to stay there out of compassion , I'm assuming. Then, when they're told that something else has to be figured out, they lose it. When you give a group something, even if it doesn't belong to them and even if you're being kind my doing it, they immediately feel like it belongs to them and will react strongly if you try to take it away. +While reading this article all I could think of is how much of a shame and alarming it is of the recent shootings that have been taking place all over the USA. I know we have talked about guns and ownership in the past, but I'm starting to think it is important to look at what we can do to stop these acts and how we can make a change ourselves. I also was surprised that they did not try to take the story and flip it into being some type of political debate about how the shooter was made about politics or a race war. +Can you believe how disturbed some people are? I just read an article about a woman whose parents forced her to have sex with both of them when she was 11. They did it for money. If you are a parent struggling for money, how in the world does your mind turn to sexually abusing your child for money? They are sick, and 20 years is not enough time for them in prison. They are the people that are supposed to protect her, and they violated her in the worst way. She is very brave for telling her story and for just being a survivor. +I had no earthly idea wearing contact lenses required this amount of discipline in order to avoid potential problems. I would much prefer to stick with glasses. What particularly concerns me is the potential for scarring on the cornea and any possible loss of visual acuity. Frankly, I don't like the idea of sticking something in my eye to begin with, and this has turned me off from contact lenses forever. +I don't see how things are still happening like this in this point in time. We can not let this continue. It really makes me sad and fell fortunate for what I have. It is insane that people still act like this. Maybe we should send some help over there but it might not be a good idea to get involved and could cause worse problems. +I blame this on the neo-liberal policies of Barack Obama. He made a lot of hope and change promises and delivered nothing. After 8 years peoples lives haven't gotten better. Having a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is ridiculous. The mainstream media carries a lot of this blame as well for not informing the public about issues and only reporting sensationalism garbage. +Oh my gosh this is so awful. I feel so bad for this man and his family, as well as the mother of the child. Could you imagine getting hurt, nearly being rescued, and then the helicopter failing too? Talk about terrible luck. I hope they start a gofundme for this man and his family - we should all donate if they do. +Natural disasters like these are just so scary. They could literally happen at anytime and no one ever knows when, especially earthquakes. It is sad to see such historic buildings and areas be destroyed by this event. It is even more sad knowing that people got injured. Some things just aren't fair in life and you never see it coming. +Hello, I will tell you something, an article I read recently, said that millions of Nigerians survived Boko Haram, but now a humanitarian catastrophe is putting their lives at risk again, wise about this information I think it is more important information than it seems be, I would consider that it is a news that should happen even by television +Toughie, the world's last Rabbs' fringe-limbed tree frog and a symbol of the extinction crisis, has died at his home in the Atlanta Botanical Garden.The famed frog's age is unknown, but he's at least 12 years old, and likely older, because he was an adult when collected in 2005.Mark Mandica, who worked with Toughie for seven years, says the frog's story isn't entirely unique. “A lot of attention had been paid to him in captivity, so he even has his own Wikipedia page,” Mandica, head of the Amphibian Foundation, notes. “But there are plenty of other species out there that are disappearing, sometimes before we even knew that they were there.”In fact, Toughie's own species (Ecnomiohyla rabborum) wasn't described until 2008, +I feel bad for the kid that fell into the gorilla enclosure and Harambe, the meme king of 2016. It sucks that they had to shoot the gorilla, but it didn't know what it was doing to hurt the kid and it seemed like there was no choice but to kill him. It must have been an awful downer for the zoo visitors who expected to have a relaxing and fun day of leisure. In my opinion the zoo should have given the visitors present at the shooting a coupon for a future visit or something like that to ease the downer. +the state in Syria is bad. the Syrian conflation has a medical source in rebel-held Aleppo told the AFP news agency that a shortage of blood meant hospitals were struggling to deal with the huge number of casualties caused by air strikes over the past four days. There was also no water supply in many areas after pumping stations were damaged at the weekend, and several charity kitchens were forced to close because of the violence. +This story is pretty weird and I wonder why they suffered heart attacks or whatever it was in the water. If they had pre existing medical conditions, would they have known it would be a bad idea to snorkel? There should be more precautions in place to make sure people are able to snorkel before they go ahead and do it. +This article was just ridiculous to me, I see the need to be protesting and freedom of speech and rights but we as people need to do peaceful protest not using armed militias to stand off on a protest. That is going against the very fundamentals of what liberals stand for. I think the group should have had some repercussions to what they did. +Wow. Let me get this straight: The German Consulate are "invaders" but all of the Middle East and North Africa pouring into Europe like the Camp of the Saints is "refugees" and if we complain about it, we're racists. Here's an idea: All Muslims, Arabs, and whatever else we're not supposed to notice this week can go back to the Middle East, and then our "invading" consulates and embassies will be HAPPY to go back to where we came from. Never speak to us again. Ugh. "The Taliban....." Yeah, no, the word you're looking for here is MUSLIMS. The MUSLIMS are the problem, not the Taliban. +Yay, bigots! I know that bigots are not a particularly new species, but I used to think, just a few years ago, that things were much better and that people were generally becoming more open-minded and welcoming. But the election of our new president signals something very different. And very much encourages the bigots to spread their wings and parade proudly. They are being empowered right now, and that is very disturbing. +Wow, just wow. I think that the possibility of nominating this judge for the Supreme Court really needs to be reexamined closely in that this nomination could cause bigger problems and chaos across the country. There would be heavy debates and fights from both sides and in the end, there unfortunately would be no progress. +Who knew that a typhoon hitting two countries would be less disturbing that articles about trees and dust. Our compassion is ruled by numbers and when two people die a storm we yawn. But show us dead trees for tell us we are breathing residue for a toilet cleaner and we freeze with panic. Perspective is a hard thing to find sometimes. +in Spain this was the Deadly Train Crash killed at least four people and injured nearly 50 others after it derailed in the northwest region of the country.Photos of the wreck showed the train’s carriage flipped on its side and smashed from where it likely hit part of a bridge near the tracks.A witness woman told Spanish television about hearing a "very strong bang" before seeing billowing black smoke. +I have a lot of sympathy for everyone worried about the Trump administration. I get it. They're not wrong to be worried. I think the author of this article misidentifies the source of the problem, though. It's not Trump. Trump himself isn't why we're in this situation. It's the people and institutions who supported him and the people and institutions who were ineffective at combating him that deserve the lion's share of the blame. +It's a shame how the government can't get this under control. As I've always said, Flint isn't the only city with these problems. The worst part about the localities that disregard the lead levels is that either they are fabricating the test results or not being fined at all. I just don't see that things are going to get any better under Pruitt ( he really needs to resign). I just can't see the EPA fining or shutting down water systems that are non compliant. I am terribly worried, not only for the children of Flint, but for All the children who are still drinking water with high lead levels. +This article brings back to mind the overall mass hysteria that the left, centrists, and neocons feel when they think about Trump. I'm not a Trump supporter, but I honestly believe people are truly delusional at this point. It has become vomit inducing. Liberals should be more pissed at the DNC for crapping on Bernie. Neocons should just admit to being big government centrists so we can all move on. +I am one for not giving your potential mate any reasonable doubt. For example if Tanaka (Mariah Carey's backup dancer) made her fiance uncomfortable he should have been axed in the beginning of the relationship. I also do not think it supports security all the time either. I think that if you value that mate there should definitely be sacrifices made in regards with relationships. +It's a shame that there are so many refugees in the world but when does it stop becoming my responsibility. I understand that conditions around the world are not ideal for everyone. However, if we just let everyone start coming here who has a problem in the world we begin to lose a sense of who we are and what made us have the country that is stable. I don't want to sacrifice my nation completely over the fact that I'm sorry the place you live sucks and is run by morons. +This article about the murder/suicide of this couple just further proves that people who commit acts of murder are usually mentally disturbed. They will harm someone and themselves with or without access to a gun. This murder/suicide was clearly not done by a gun. There are so many situations where a murderer will kill themselves after they have harmed someone else, proving that they are very disturbed and they should have received help of some sort. This will prevent them from harming innocent people along with themselves. +A moron Arkansas cop left her police dog in the patrol car in the middle of summer and the poor thing died. She's on administrative leave while the incident is being investigated. What's to investigate? The dog didn't lock itself in the car. She should at least be immediately fired for being too stupid to be a cop. +So I think I just read the most interesting article to date ever published. A girl ran into a police officer with her car, while taking a nude topless selfie to send to her boyfriend. Feel a little bad for her, even though she should not be doing this, especially with a glass of wine in her cup holder haha. Guessing she was drunk, which is the main crime here. She had a bond of 2000 dollars I believe. I kind of want her to be freed haha. +I hate that tourism and economy end up hurting our animal's habitats! People are so selfish while traveling, and they do not think of how their actions will effect the wildlife in the area. Please remember to clean up your trash, do not litter, and do not leave items out that will potentially hurt animals when you are visiting an area. Countries need to spend more time and effort on saving natural areas for wildlife. +After reading that article on the Arctic Ice, I feel that maybe we should get together and do something. Maybe find an organization to donate time and money too. I don't know, but it is scary that the ice is not rebounding. I am not sure what will happen in the future, but if we can try to get people aware now of their carbon footprint, maybe, just maybe we can make a small impact on the ice melting. I know the Earth goes through cycles, but I am sure that humans have greatly impacted the amount of thawing way more than normal cycles. It is as if humans are a parasite. We are like a chronic inflammation to the Earth. It's getting scary out there and we have no other planet to go to in this vast universe. We can't mess up the one we have. +It seem like we have enters the day where people are more sensitive to political issues that ever before. Although people may not agree with the current administration under Trump they can not falt or blame other for their personal beliefs. It is especially a shame when a mom will kick out their own child for mock voting is a manner that she find unfitting. +There has got to be a better solution that we can all come up with to make sure that these deaths are stopped or at least decreased. I understand making sure that the elephants are safe, but people should take priority as well. There are people fearing for their lives. What can their country do about it, and if their country can't, when will another country come in and offer their assistance? +It seems like the air pollution in India is getting worse and this is especially troubling for children who are very susceptible to the open air. This is very alarming as just recently 1,800 school had been close in India because of the poor air quality. It seem that these particle from the smog and fireworks are so tiny that they can make there way in the small pockets of the lungs. +This article was so sad. I guess ISIS had killed many people recently in israel. They were very rude about it and many people were at high tension worried they had bombs or traps set up as they were recovering and looking for more bodies. They said the people of ISIS just dumped there bodies as if they were trash. +sexual assault is the major problem in the country there were many cases first , second and third degree reported.the recent story of the UW-Madison student who was charged in alleged attacks on 5 women —sexual assault against a University of Wisconsin student led to multiple charges based on claims from five women. combined with the viral nature of social media, has resulted in modern-day character assassination that is very real and very wrong." How to help survivors of sexual assault might be spread over the media or the other sort +hey friend,you should read about the article i just read . The world is just full of problems.I just pity the way some animals suffer in this world especially in war zone areas like Gaza,Libya Syria.I just wish I could do something about it because serious attention is needed in those zoos.If only I had powers I could do something about the protection of this animals. +I've given up my faith in humanity. There are just certain events that transpire that make you shudder to the core. After reading multiple articles today about just how shitty people can be to one another, it makes me beyond happy to know the individuals that are in my own personal life. Human greed knows no bounds. Human ego needs to be set aside and/or destroyed. +Kesha the singer opened up about how she was treated in the music industry...it's so crazy how time after time these pop stars, rappers an singers come out with these stories about how they got cheated, or that they find out that their manager had been stealing from them for years, or giving them advice that doesn't actually serve the artist. The problem is that a lot of these artists go into the music industry naive and desperate and just take whatever hey can get...whatever del, just to get their foot in the door but just end up getting screwed, +I just read that Kevin Meaney, a standup comedian and actor has died. Although I don’t remember him very well, according to the article I read he was a celebrity of some notoriety in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Mr. Meaney was in the CBS sitcom "Uncle Buck," it was only on for one season in 1990, and he made an appearance on an episode of "Saturday Night Live. He was on the Johnny Carson show, too, which was the top-rated late night talk show for decades. I really miss all the bright comedic talents that launched their careers on the Carson show. So many of these great comedians of the past have inspired budding comic talents of today. They will be missed! +middle east is fucked up, I've honestly never heard of a middle east country such as Afganistan deporting people, the mention of it just sound funny, who the heck would want to stay in that shit hole country that has been infested with terrorists and child rapists? Perhaps those refugees are out of choice, honestly they should come to a better country such as U.S. or U.K, even though those 2 countries have their own policies regarding immigration, but I think they're quite tolerate to people from war torn countries +Did you hear about Jose Fernandez? He just died in a boating accident. He was only 24 years old! It's just so shocking and sad. What a waste! He was with two other men too, all in their twenties. Hose had overcome so much adversity. when he was a child in Cuba, he would only make $4 a day selling tomatoes and onions. It's such a shame to lose such a great man and great ball player. +It's scary to think that even somebody who is as well known and guarded as Kim Kardashian can still be the victim of crimes like this. It's got to be disheartening to be Kim and know you've spent (most likely) a lot of money to have security with you at all times to protect you from things like this, yet it still happens to you. You'd have to wonder just how much more one can do to protect themselves. +I feel so bad for that innocent customer. This is something that is unfortunate and a random freak incident. All over a declined card this man got so upset that he had to take it out on other people. It is shocking to me that some people can have so much anger in them to do something like that. That person that was shot was just going there on a normal day to get coffee and now his loved ones can't see him no more all because someone got worked up over a declined card. I guess we need to have security every where nowadays it seems. No place is safe to go. You can't even go to the coffee shop without worrying someone is going to pull out a gun at you. +What I learned from my experience is that most modern factories, even the ones in thirds world countries, will try to make their employees reasonably comfortable and safe. Not because their super-altruistic but because it helps with productivity. A happy, rested, relaxed worker does better work and more of it than an exhausted, stressed out one. it's unfortunate that this guy died the way they did ono the job like that. +Did you hear about that bus crash that happened in Delaware. It was very sad, also I read that 2 people were injured. I hope these people can recover fully from their injuries and go on to lead fulfilling lives. Hopefully something like this will never ever happen again and measures are taken to prevent it. +Did you hear about the earthquake in Tanzania? There were over 200 deaths. It's so scary because you can't really prepare for something like that. I live in California so people are always warning us about the san andres fault line. I get so worried thinking about how bad it might get if something like that happens to us. +I am upset and disturbed about the result of the investigation on the article. It also saddens me to know that the families involved in the missing of those students are still hoping to see their family member even after years of waiting. This article reminds me that no matter how long the case, the family will always wait for them to hug those missing students. +This story makes me sad that a hard-working family member can suffer in this way. Life can be pretty cruel. On the bright side, with advancing computer and health sciences, the future does have some light at the end of the tunnel. I think it's probably helpful to try to focus a bit on the positive. My political views are different from most. I find myself disagreeing with many Republican and Democrat stances. I'm in favor of universal healthcare, basic income, and access to assisted suicide (rational suicide, access to drugs like Nembutal for anyone who thinks they might want to make the rational decision not to live, and instead die in a humane way). +This story upsets me. I can't seem to get it out of my head that the victim was a child even though there's conflicting comments. But to die because you stole porridge seems insane. I guess I can't put myself in that situation where maybe porridge is hard to come by but just knowing that someone died for that seems petty to me. +Another Taliban attack in Afghanistan today, this time directed against the Germans. A few dead and many wounded, primarily women and children. They said it was in retaliation against US air strikes that have cause a lot of civilian casualties. An endless cycle, just like before. Remind me again why we're there. +Life is a dangerous thing. People are suffering from natural and man-made disasters. There is a huge number of deaths due to hazing in Indonesia. All driven by over-industrialisation and hunger of profits. Governments and scientists should do more to prevent these kinds of deaths: at least to have certain warning systems installed. Also, natural disasters such as hails and typhoons can wreck a havoc in peoples’ lives. Now I have second thoughts about traveling to South Pasific islands. They are gorgeous but dangerous. +I think that its really sad that forests are getting wiped out through causes of diseases and invasive species of bugs. It really should be are main priority as humans to preserve the environment the Earth has provided to us before its to late. It up to us as the younger generation to reverse decades of environmental abuse so that future generations are able to enjoy nature such as hiking through a beautiful forest. +the article is touching its great about Ebeid families who flee to other countries, are forced to leave them behind.” In another neighborhood of eastern Aleppo, 83-year-old Reema Salama lives alone in the home where she raised her children and his wife, who suffers from high blood pressure and rheumatism. Marea has received unexpected help from another son, Hameed, who was visiting from Turkey and became trapped in the city when the government imposed its siege several weeks ago +There is a particularly rough situation with the United States, Russia, and Syria right now. The United States is receiving conflicting intelligence about attacks and conspiracies. There is a need for cooperation but diplomatic intensity is very important. Russia seems to be keeping its intelligence under wraps while Syria is in a power deluge. +There was another gunman attacking random people in Houston. I think it's so scary and disgusting. Mental health these days seem to be at a all time low and it's showing left and right. We need to do something about people who don't act like humans anymore. They lose all empathy for others and just want to end their life in a cowardly way. +It's interesting that so many people would have this reaction to the election. Sure, there's a lot of negative stuff surrounding the election and the president...but a lot of it is rhetoric and media. It doesn't seem as relevant on a local level. I guess it would depend on where you live...maybe I'm too isolated to understand. +Did you hear about this sexual harassment scandal involving the National Parks Service? I guess there really is no industry that is immune to this misbehavior. Incidents have been documenting going back decades but nothing was done about it. It's really outrageous what people in power can get away with. +Awful news article. Us as a society need to do a better job of protecting and helping not only our planet, but the animals and mammals that surround it. The fact that almost 100 percent of the caimans are suspected to be dead is alarming and people should be more informed on such matters. The rate of extinction that these animals and mammals are going through on our planet is extremely alarming and I can not figure out why people aren't more concerned or even aware of the matter. We need to do a better job of protecting ALL living matter on this planet, not just ourselves. +So the FBI seems to fail at preventing serious terrorist attacks when they knowingly had a suspect. Their investigations obviously are not thorough enough to always prevent attacks even whey they are forewarned about a specific person. The nightclub attack in Orlando seems like it could have been prevented if the FBI did their job. They had warnings from the killers family and basically a warning from the terrorist himself. With extremist like this guy, when they already had him once, I think more severe tactics are necessary to protect the country and its citizens. I feel like the FBI is just making excuses because they were incompetent and do not seem to take everything as serious as they need too. Our country deserves that! +I remember this going on. I knew someone who considered this option. It's a shame that women have to think like this, about birth control meant to outlast a political regime. Trump and Pence are reprehensible, but at least it hasn't come to pass - not that they wouldn't salivate at the opportunity to attack women's health like this, we've just been lucky so far that they haven't got their way. It bothers me how these guys think. +Garden ponds 'playing role' in frog disease spread — Garden ponds are playing a role in the spread of deadly frog diseases across the UK, a study suggests. Ranaviruses can infect amphibians, reptiles and fish. In the UK, they have devastated common frog populations. This research suggests that the introduction of infected animals from aquatic retailers into ponds or moving species between different ponds may be exacerbating the problem. +From this article I read 82 percent of ecosystems are being impacted by climate change. Whats interesting about this is the environment and the species in these ecosystems are going through morphological changes. Sometimes we get this idea that climate change will eradicate all life from the Earth but it seems that we will be able to adapt to it to a certain extent. By no means am I say we shouldn't make changes to solve climate change but it is interesting to seem how life is adapting to the changes. +Hello Jane, how have you been, I want to vent out an article I read and is very heart breaking. A few families lost their loved one in a ride at the Dreamworld theme park in Queensland, Australia. They were thrown off the ride into the water. It is a very sad story and it will be investigated, also the Dream world CEO has created a memorial at the park with 500 staff to attend, which is very kind. +So two sisters were on vacation and both died. Apparently fluid in the lungs but one had fluid in the brain or something like that. So sad for the family. The government where they were at is not giving the family much info if any at all. It is just weird how two sisters both died at the same place and by fluid in the lungs or brain. +I wonder if I recognize this guy. I haven't heard of him up until now. He was just a little before our time, although I'm sure he had an impact on many of the people we know. It seems like he influenced many other comedians that I know. I plan on looking up his work to see what is out there of him. +Big businesses should really be held accountable for where the bailouts they receive really go. Yet the government don't really enforce any rules. Just here is money and trust them to use it as it was intended for them. We really should stop corporate lobbying in Congress. Look at these people using the bailout money just for luxury. I am outraged! +I don't like the fact that environmental concerns are still a large part of our world in which we live but I believe the higher power controls this and that will keep us from ever completely overcoming these issues. It makes me upset to know Native American tribes are being affected by drought to the point of possibly ceasing to exist. I have Native American heritage and feel that this population should be cared for by our government before segments of third world countries. I don't like the fact that air pollution is a problem or a salty lake is drying up in Iran but I understand our environment is controlled by God. We, as a nation, choose our battles sometimes based on the wrong things. Taking care of the Native American tribesman should be a HUGE priority! +I recently read an article about how the band Eagles of Death Metal visited the Paris attacks memorial. A year before they were playing at a concert hall when the attacks occured a year prior. Sting was the first person to play at he concert hall since the attacks. The front man of the Eagles of Death Metal was denied access to the event. He had told Fox news that the muslim security collaborated with the attackers at the concert hall. +I wish there was something more that I could do. This is getting out of hand, but it's kind of far away geographically from us. There needs to be something the international community can do. Farmers everywhere are killing pests and animals that interfere with their farms, but elephants are completely different from pests. They are extremely smart and are just hungry. I honestly wonder if we should come up with a plan to feed them, and this might sound crazy, but try to study elephants and come up with some way to communicate abstract ideas with them. +There are three sides to every story: the one individual's side, the other party's side, and the truth. I'm not justifying that what the airlines did was right, but I believe there is much more to the story than what was reported. Granted, privacy issues come into play and not everything can be revealed; however, I take the complaints with a grain of salt. +I just don't know how they could do this to that poor girl. After everything she has been through. I really feel for her. I understand what she might be going through. It is a shame to have this happen after all this time. I really hope that someone will be able to help her.I feel really bad about what is being done. I am worried about what might happen if she doesn't get any help. They really should just let her go. +Oh my goodness, check out this article. Very interesting but also very sad. Poor guy was just trying to do his job. This sounds like a terrible way to die. If nothing else maybe some new and improved safety measures will be put in place to protect the next person who has this same recycling job.I hope his family gets an attorney and tries to get some sort of money for his untimely death. +I am very concerned about the spread of Zika. I think in many cases the federal government takes it too likely. What price is too expensive for the health and safety of our citizens, especially our most vulnerable ones. Given the advance warning we’ve had about the dangers and progression of Zika, it is shameful the lack of progress that has been made globally. +I think we need to remember a few important things, psychologists and psychiatrists have very hard times. Sometimes the people they are sent to treat are manipulative to a point they have fooled family, friends and professionals for years. We also have to acknowledge those with underlying mental health issues who may have been taken advantage of and used by criminal organizations. +What I have learned from this is that obesity is a silent killer. In most of the cases, by the time one realizes that they under the clutch of Obesity and it’s already too late for them. Some prominent signs of obesity are- lack of flexibility in body, high blood pressure, development of cardiac issues and respiratory disorder. But a question that continues to bother the patients is what caused Obesity in them. +What an awful tragedy no family should be subjected to this. This is really getting out of hand i cant believe the middle east still has so much turmoil. its really ridiculous. i hope our boys can help calm the situation and keep things safer than they are now. its just insane how much a person must be delusional to go through with these actions +I wish more people would donate food that's still good instead of throwing it away. There's so many people who gladly take anything to eat and there's people just throwing out perfectly good food. There should be some way to easily take food or even have someone come pick it up and then the food can go to needy starving people. +Another example of the Government disregard for the Indian people who lived here before we ever arrived. Sad in this day and age they are just trying to protect their land. Stop the potential for environmental damage to the land where they have lived for thousands of years. Don't we learn anything from history. How can they shot and harm these people just protecting their land and way of life. +Sure glad I live in Minnesota and not Chicago. I hear the latest problem is lead in the water. Now they are shutting down all the outdoor fountains. One reason is to protect the homelsss. LOL who are they kidding. Like anyone actually cares about the homeless. We have this pompous rich guy Donald Trump cutting peoples SNAP on 2019 while at the same time cities are worrying about lead in the water to protect the homeless. It's all really annoying. Granted I agree lead is bad but then again some Govt. clown probably needs to do something to justify the 6 figure income they make. +I am not sure what to think. I would be happy to be alive. I would like to know if they knew what the sea would be like as the sea is VERY unpredictable and I doubt they wanted to kill themselves too. I think it's a tragedy and no one is at fault. It is just one of those things that happens. Some things and tragedies are unforeseeable. +he mayor was on Duterte's list of local officials branded as "narco-politicians" who allegedly have ties to the illegal drug world, according to CNN affiliate CNN Philippines. He, along with his wife, surrendered themselves to provincial police in August to clear their names and deny involvement. At the roadblock early Friday morning, an "armed encounter" between Dimaukom's men and police ensued, the report says, with law enforcement officials responding to fire from the mayor's bodyguards, leaving 10 men dead. Duterte was elected to office in May on a platform of a hardline crackdown on crime, particularly illegal drugs. Since taking office in early June, his police force has waged a bloody war on drug dealers and users, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Filipino drug suspects at the +I feel bad for the migrants who died when the ship which was carrying them sunk. Especially the young ones. Kids shouldn't have to die like this just trying to take a risk to improve their lives. I am touched by the state of the tiger population. They should never be raised and kept in this fashion. They deserve to be free. On top of this rare species should always be protected. +I have pretty strong thoughts and feelings about this. From what I read, I feel like that is a very tragic situation. Us as a society, we are taking advantage of the trees we have here. In order to protect the environment and make the environment better again, we need to take care of it. What we are doing, in my opinion, is morally and ethnically wrong and we need to do a better job of taking care of nature. I understand that some blame is from the volcanoes of hawaii, but feel like us humans do way more damage than what mother nature brings. +Wow, did you guys hear anything about this? It would be cool if men could take birth control as well. Not just to relieve the burden from women, but for men to have their own sexual freedom as well. Condoms are really the only thing they have control over, and they're known to fail more often than any form of birth control. +It's sad the train wreck cost 4 people their lives. One can only hope none of the injured are critical. It would be great if they could find the cause of the accident. If they don't, who's to say it won't happen again? The statistics could be even worse next time. Wish this could have been prevented. +This currency ban is a bold and brave step for the Minister. it is a bitter bill to swallow at the beginning as can be evidenced by the poor Indian population even missing work to line up at ATMs to get cash. but it the long run it will be beneficial in abolishing corruption. surprise ban on most currency in circulation in India, a bold attack on corruption that crippled business at stores and markets around the country as millions scrambled for cash to meet even basic needs +There was just a 5.0 earthquake in Oklahoma. Fortunately, no one was badly injured. I didn't even know they had earthquakes there. It must be very scary to have to go through one of those. I'm glad we don't have them here. We used to have drills at school, in the event of an earthquake, but that just seems like a waste of time. I've never even been through one. +This article highlights the fact that although we may have profound faith in the goodness of human nature, we never know when a killer is walking among us. The recent spate of mass shootings at schools and other locations underline the presence of disturbed people in our midst. Besides defending ourselves, we need to ask ourselves what in our society is provoking this disturbing behavior. Certainly the ubiquity and ease of acquiring guns is one cause, but there may be others that need attention as well. +There has been unrest over the disputed region of Kshmir between Packistan and India. It looks as though there were 13 civilians killed during this latest skirmish. It's pathetic to see so many innocent people being killed for no reason over this disputed land. Already there have been two wars fought between these two countries. I hope they can reach a peaceful settlemnt but since this has been ongoing for over 70 years I highly doubt that this will actually happen. +I am really saddened by what is happening in Brazil. I can't stand that this type of damage is happening in nature. We as citizens of the world really have to step up our efforts so that it doesn't happen more often. We should little by little try to reverse the damage that has been done for better good. +New data shows airline discrimination complaints jumped 37 percent — The Transportation Department is making more data available about complaints of racial, ethnic and religious discrimination filed against the airlines, the agency said Tuesday. The department said it was releasing the data to the public in an attempt to be more transparent about such complaints and how they are handled. +I think the robbers probably knew that jewelry would be harder to get away with because in order to make money selling it, they could be tracked and found out that they were her pieces. It makes more sense to steal money and they probably thought she would have a lot considering she is a huge celebrity. They must not have bothered to think that she probably wouldn't have cash. I feel bad that she went through that. +Terrorism has become so commonplace that it does not even alarm me anymore. It is simply just another day in the world that we have come to live in. No one really wants to address the reasons that drive people to terrorism, so I guess we will just continue to let the media sensationalize death and complain about it the next day. +This is really scary. I don't think I would want to have my life in the hands of someone else like on this whaling boat. someone's stupid mistakes can really be bad news for everyone trusting that person. I'm not sure If i'd be interested in going out on a boat, whaling, or even a cruise ship after reading this article.Just one wrong move from another person can seal your fate. It must have been so terrifying for these people. I definitely believe all the trauma they say they have endured and I would definitely rule for them in the suits they brought against the plantiff. +After reading the article about Azalia Banks and Russell Crowe, I must say it was rather humiliating. They treated her really bad. I felt compassion for her. I tried to put myself into her shoe and I know I would have broken down and cried. She should have controlled her tongue as well, violence begot violence and a soft answer turns away wrath. Russell is not much of a lady's gentleman he could have dealt with the issue in an amicable manner. Maybe they could just let bygones be bygones and put it behind them. It was rather unfortunate. +ABUJA, Nigeria ― After her father died two years ago during a Boko Haram raid on her village in Yobe, Nigeria, 16-year-old Zulyatu, her younger siblings and their mother fled to Biu, a town in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state. A year ago their mother left for another town to get treatment for high blood pressure from a traditional healer, leaving Zulyatu alone to care for her siblings, 12-year-old Abubakar and 8-year-old Amira. +That's interesting about the buzzing possibly being created by the brain. I always thought it was created by the auditory nerve. Someone very close to me deals with tinnitus every day, and I always thought it was odd because I'm the one who has worked in high noise environments, but she's the one who suffers with it. It's interesting because it says psychotherapy is a possible solution which would make us very happy if it's real. +I just read on a news paper about a situation in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka about their water situations. They are confronted with a very complicated water problem that is quickly turning extremely serious. The capital city has a population of 15 million. They are pumping the water from the city from the underground and the water is dropping with 9 feet every year. My understanding is that the water is becoming less potable as the pumping is going deeper being contaminated with arsenic. The researchers are trying to locate the contaminated areas and in the meantime thinking of different sources of water such as the one with the help of monsoon. They do have serious problems over there and sounds pretty difficult to have it fixed. Many will have to suffer unfortunately in the meantime +The medical profession is clueless according to three articles I just read. They have no idea how to treat obese or transgender people, among others, and doctors routinely act based on biases and stereotypes. For example, scales aren't calibrated or constructed to weigh obese people and medication dosage often doesn't take weight into account. Doctors just tell patients to lose weight and rush them out of the office. Not that the rest of us are protected from medical protocols that are outdated and sometimes harmful, either. What to do? +I just read an article about the awful treatment of animals of zoos in foreign countries from us. Feeling a little down thinking of how these people could treat the animals how they could continue to raise animals in zoos where people will come and view them while they're ill hurt and some even dying. Even after receiving help to get these animals to a better location where they can be cared for properly other zoos are still continuing with bad treatment and allowing visitors to come witness it. Just like a child animals depend on us if we have them caged either let them out of the cage or take care of them why is that so hard for people to understand or do? +GBR The great barrier reef. I read an article that stated that it was on life support. That the beaching incident of two thousand sixteen amongst others things have left it close to death. The GBR covers 1400miles and has 70000 jobs hanging in the balance. Its crazy because this thing is 25 million yers old. We have to do something. +According to Dr. Jack Drescher, a leading specialist and critic of conversion therapy practices, there is not just one set of practices understood to be used in conversion therapy. “People have tried all kinds of things because none them really work,” he told The Huffington Post. Drescher also said that the majority of research surrounding conversion therapy has taken place on adults who’ve undergone the process, and there is very little research surrounding LGBTQ youth who have been through conversation therapy practices. “But of course you have anecdotal stories,” he said. “Some children have reported running away from home, there have been cases in the news of young people of when their family found out about them or they came out and the family insisted they go to conversion therapy +hello brother I am learning the news I am very happy that you are already in sacrament I am happy that after completing your dream of playing in the NBA is a great time for you and you should know how to take advantage of this great opportunity take care of yourself and succeed.I'm really very proud of you +It's absolutely horrible how Indian government treats their people! Poverty, disease, no regulations when it comes to the environmental safety standards. My heart goes out to these people because they deserve to live in peace on this Earth and be healthy and prosperous just like everyone else. Such a blatant disregard for human life! India is like hell in Earth. I would lock up these government people in solitary confinement for life and let the fly ash befall on their heads so they can find out what getting tuberculosis and liver decease is like for these poor people! The situation in India just never ends, makes you wonder where all these mega wealthy Indian royals are?!!! Why isn't the fly ash falling on them, or why aren't they drinking polluted water that causes lung illness!!! +Officers shooting at unarmed black men needs to stop. I know there are some really good cops out there, but the bad ones are the ones giving the good ones a bad rep. More officers should be vetted before they go to the academy. They need to have better background checks. I completely understand if someone was armed and the officers were in fear of their safety for them to shoot, but if a white officer shoots at an unarmed black man for no reason, that's wrong. +there is a lot going on in this one and I had lots of different emotions throughout the whole thing. numerous issues with the article I read, cops shooting people, people being sent to prison for far too long of a period of time, as well as militias being formed to protect land. I feel our land is important ,I feel as though cattle should be able to graze and that we have a huge problem when it comes to economic issues,due to the way that livestock is taken care of,to produce food for people. It is heartbreaking to see people fight for land they love it, and it’s heartbreaking for the police to have to shoot people over it. people lose years of their lives in prison over land and cattle and thousands upon thousands of dollars wasted in court cases. the whole article was a mess! +I think zuckermans opinions on the oil import has some actual valid points. I feel like his plans and what he wants to do is a good idea. I also feel liek their are too many people just trying to make a quick few bucks, theyll do anything and everything to get there way. I feel bad for some of the less fortuanate consumers who have to be tricked into paying these ridulous high prices foroil. +This is sad on the surface, that these two passed away while scuba diving at such an old age, but then I consider it. These two people - lived their life together - went somewhere glorious and had a wonderful time on vacation together before passing. It is morbid, yes, but is it not also somewhat beautiful? +So many politicians don't see how serious global warming is and refuse to do anything about it. I'm not the biggest environmentalist and sometimes I ignore the whole climate change thing, but I do believe it is happening and know that our government needs to do something about it. I have no faith in our current government to do anything, but I hope others around the world will and we as individuals can do something, even little things. Maybe doing things collaboratively can help change things for the better. +This feels so typical. The burden of safe sex has fallen to the woman for decades, ever since the oral contraceptive was introduced. Women frequently have to decide between accepting disturbing side effects or accepting the risk of pregnancy, whereas men have never had to make that choice. There will never be true equality until men and women face the risks and consequences of sex equally. +It's a shame how troubled the middle east is and has been for the longest time. I wish we could come to some agreement with the rest of the world on how to realistically handle the multiple situations in the middle east. I feel that we should pull out and let them handle their problems on their own with only some guidance from us. +The United States should be ashamed of how this last election went. It was sad that they could not be fair to other countries in the campaigning. Trump bullied other countries and the other bullies in the US voter for him. There is no reason why such a fool should be running our country. I know as Americans anyone can become president, but that does not mean that they do not have to be presidential material. +All of this unrest in the middle east makes me afraid to ever leave North America. I'm glad that it turned out that the shooter was mentally unstable instead of being involved in a larger plot. I wish I had some answers that could make all this war easier but I just don't understand why everyone can't just get along. +These people argue about who's fault it is, but in the end, we're just moving down a highway together, that we build together, and all these dangerous curves are our own fault. The truth to me is, all the Republican party did to win was take advantage of disenfranchised people who are tired of things that happened ten years ago and beyond, so they looked to the only people who would listen to them, even if they were wrong. +the eldest generation of russians aren't being treated properly and should have some sort of financial compensation. they are living off very little per day financially and live in poor conditions. after paying utilities, they barely have enough for food. health care has also taken a turn for the worse because they can't afford to get proper health treatment due to the costs involved +Oh my god. Did you hear about this story of this family of two girls that got killed on Halloweed? Apparently they were hit in a trailer and that cause them to die. Could you imagine just wanting to go out and have fun while trick and treating but then you get the sad news that you daughters are dead? This is heartbreaking for that family. +In all honesty. I have read so many of these articales it is all starting to run together and i am forgetting what i am reading. The time and pay i have spent on this is starting to look like it is not worth completing the hit because it is becoming unfair pay versus time i am spending reading all these articles and wasting time +This article was quite interesting to me. It talked about the invention of a new male contraceptive. It talks about the potential side effects that steer men away from using the contraceptive. The writer of the article mocks men for avoiding these contraceptives when female contraceptives have way more side effects to them. I personally disagree with the writer - if male contraceptives were invented before female contraceptives, I believe that males would have no problem using them despite the side effects. What are your thoughts? +This is an old article, that made the Paris accords seem so responsible and dutiful, until Trump revealed that it was a crap deal that took advantage of the US, obligating them to pay way more than other countries. Plus the soonest results of this regulation will not occur for a century, and will be just a blip of difference. It's a scam. +I think they should both be charged with murder. It's obvious at least one of them did it but I'm assuming both. It's crazy what this world has come to people just killing people all the time and usually for no reason. It's crazy and people need to be punished harsher. If you kill someone on person for no reason you should automatically get the death sentence. +I am thankful that there are people who care about this issue, but I really don't. I feel like this is just part of the life-cycle and I don't really get why so much money is being wasted on a problem and isn't necessarily crucial. However, as I said, it's probably good that people who know more about this issue than I do are caring about the problem. +I've been reading about the drastic increase in migrants trying to get from Africa to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea. This year has seen large amounts of people seeking refuge in Europe, and large increases in fatalities for those attempting the crossing. These people are fleeing desperate conditions in hope of a better life and are attempting risky crossings because there are not enough safe ways to migrate. +I think it is crazy that these employees were put through this at Well's Fargo. I have never worked at a bank before, but being told to reach a quota, even by the means of doing illegal tasks to accomplish what they needed to do. I can't imagine coming into working everyday and wondering if I was going to be considered a good or a bad employee. It would infuriate me to have earned a bonus and then be told I cannot have it because I am being developed as an employee. I am glad they decided to make the change. It sounds better for their employees. +It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore. It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore. +After reading how so many people think Trump will ruin this country I think its fair to say some of our most beloved Presidents acted the same why yet we keep them up on pedestals. Today with social media we just see the problems more out in front since nothing is private anymore. I'm older 63 as you know and my mom and granny taught me how to behave. Don't go into a room with some man you don't know. If he tries something tell someone. All these ladies who kept quiet or were paid off in some way are just as big a part of the problem as any man who abuses them. Ladies time for us to take responsible for what happens. +Why were 43 students highjacking buses? That wasn't taught in my school. Bus high-jacking 101. They seriously failed. I am rather doubting that is true though. If the police are willing to give "criminals" over to the drug cartels, I'm pretty sure they aren't above lying about it. One of my coworkers hasn't visited her family in years because their state has become so crime ridden they won't let her come home. They say it isn't safe for her. How stupid sad is that? And God forbid they try to come here to escape that mess. Right wing crazies do not have any compassion for people just trying to live, it seems. +I can't believe what I just read. I read this article about how riot police took down some pipeline protestors in North Dakota. The armed police used such violent and aggressive tactics to take down the protestors. The protestors were Native Americans and environmental activists. Being environmental activist ourselves could you imagine how we would react to being treated this way. They used sonic devices and rubber bullets shooting the protestors in the face. I'm outraged by these actions. This is totally uncalled for and violates several codes of conduct. The cause of the protest was that the pipeline was affecting the local's water supply. I don't blame them for protesting one bit. The actions and the engagement by the riot police of North Dakota was shameful and they should be punished. +We all live in the same America. I believe that we all have the same hopes,dreams and goals. I can understand to some Trump represents the return of jobs and other industry, but to others he is a symbol of hate. I know you voted for him and I know that you are not racist, but can you see how much this has torn the country apart? We both know that the country was not already united as one, but this has made it worst. I do not see it getting any better anytime soon. I hope the country can heel and both sides can work it out. +Positions of power will ALWAYS, inevitably be taken over by a corrupt and greedy type of individual or group of people. Any time you have a person who has authority over another person, eventually things will go bad. Whether it's kings demanding that they get to deflower any bride before her wedding day (as a law) or our own United States government attempting to strip more and more freedoms from us when we're already slaves... These are the acts of corruption. These are the acts of cowardice, scum-bag gangsters that wear suits. +Heyy! Although this story is sad, I found it definitely alarming and should serve as an example on how this obsession with selfies needs to stop. Apparently, a guy was killed by a python because he was trying to take a good selfie. I think he was one of those people who like to take selfies doing something daring +What would we do without friends? Have you ever given it a thought? Friends are there, right by your side, through thick and thin, adding the right flavors to your life -- cheering you up when you're down, laughing with you till you're both on the floor clutching your stomachs, holding your hand when you're not strong enough to face the world... When you are blessed with true friends you can always count on, you can bravely face any storm and tackle obstacles with a smile. +This is the world we live in now. Until we have heavy weapons that are meant for killing like guns, explosives, and machines, we will never have an end in the conflict in Middle East -- or any country for that matter. If it does finish, a lot of people will suffer and die first which is worrisome. Millions and millions of people experience subhuman living conditions and there's nothing we can do. +I am sharing this because I wish people can understand what humans are doing to the environment and how its actually affecting our climate. WE ARE going through climate change, and it seems like the world does not care because there's still pollution and etc. The artic glaciers are melting, waters are getting warmer and people say that's not "global warming". Definitely give this article a read if you are into environmental stuff. +Who cares about North Korea! I hope they all drowned. Waaah they are having a flood and hope the international community responds? Please Billy. Maybe they should stop sending nuclear missiles over other countries. Maybe that fat butch head could eat less and send a couple dollars to the victims. I could care less about North Korea and am highly glad they are getting flooded. Serves them right. +Oh hey, check it out. Another article about the same thing that's been repeated over and over again, but it's not really changing anything. I am just sending it to you because I'm an idiot that doesn't care about what you think. It just goes on and on about meat production and how that's harming the environment. I can't wait for lab grown meat to be the standard, but that's not really in this. So, read away about cow farts. +There was some anti jewish graffitti in my community after trumps election too. I think these jewish feeling were feeling like a lot of us after trumps election, like America wasn't a safe place to be anymore. He opened it up to racism, sexism, and bigotry. Not that those weren't already there, but he made it seem like those were okay. I felt like that as a woman, and I talked to other women who did too, like you. It felt like these people felt, like suddenly it was okay to harrass women, because the president does it too. +Sally Brampton should serve as an example to others. Talk about being forgotten. She demonstrated clear signs of needing help, and the system failed her. What a terrible loss! A successful, intelligent, conflicted woman who was lost way too soon. It is sad to see someone struggle with depression and other mental illnesses. Society needs to do better to help people in need, especially when they are asking for it. IT is a shame what happened to her. +Do you know about Zika virus news ? That like dengue and West Nile virus, this mosquito-spread disease is now going to be a regular fixture — and a perennial risk for pregnant women. The huge bloom of Zika activity in the Americas right now is unprecedented. A longtime US Army scientist who is now semiretired, Halstead believes Zika will vanish in a few years, likely for decades. That’s the way another arbovirus, chikungunya works, he wrote in an article in Emerging Infectious Diseases last year. “The rate at which people are getting infected right now certainly suggests that we’re heading, within a year or two, to achieve sufficient herd immunity for this virus to die out, +I just read a very sad article about a man who recently lose his family from a car accident. The car was hit by someone who lost control while speeding and slammed into the car with the family, causing all of them to die. The person speeding, along with his family were also killed. It's so sad and troubling knowing that someone has to go through such tragedies in life due to other peoples careless mistakes. May God rest their poor souls. +Gun control should be a priority in our country. After reading about children who lost their lives due to gun violence, it's hard to argue that it's way to easy to get your hands on a gun. Americans are much like people all over the world, but we have infinitely more gun deaths, and it's all because of the ease of acquiring those guns. +I really do not understand what has become of our society.Have you heard about the guy who shot several people at the shopping mall?Because of him,six people were injured and three dead and some three people had eye injuries because of the broken glasses.The guy is only 20 from Turkey and guess what,he has been charged with murder because he confessed. +This is the type of thing that really scares me. I would be very interested in viewing this video. How in the world does one shoot their own relatives and two police officers? What gives this person the right to take someone else life? Those people may have had children, mothers, sisters, friends, co-workers, and now they are dead, and for what? How did this individual go so long without being apprehended. Sometimes the system really confuses me and upsets me. I wish they would have caught him sooner and kept him alive so he could explain his actions. +Hey, I know you asked me about what happened to that mother and her baby in New York and here's the full article. It's so sad...that baby could have lived their life to the fullest and now it's cut short. The mother will have to grieve over what happened to...It's so sad that things like this happen. +I am so sick and tired of Donald Trump. He has no idea what he is doing. He is making America a laughing stock to the world. He is a puppet. He is a big man baby who cannot take criticism or do a job right. He's not as rich as he says. He does what he wants and figures money will take care of it all. I cannot wait till he is out of office. +The move comes after Human Rights Watch published a report detailing accounts by dozens of women and girls who said they were sexually abused or coerced into sex. The women said they were raped or abused by camp leaders, vigilante group members, policemen and soldiers at camps in Borno State's capital, Maiduguri. The camps were set up to offer aid to people displaced by fighting in Nigeria's northeast. Nigeria's Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has set up a special team "to immediately commence thorough Investigation into all cases of alleged sexual abuses, exploitation, harassments, gender-based violence and professional misconduct," a statement from the inspector general's office said Thursday. Police: Security at camps to be beefed up Some of the victims had escaped captivit +Here is another example of domestic gun violence that is happening in america. I know that you feel very strongly about this issue and figured that you might want to read this article that I found. It is such a sad story, and until we get the guns off the street, these stories are just going to keep coming up. +Veterans deserve all the support from this nation. They put in risk their lives for us, for our freedom and security. Most of the people have no idea what those people have seen and experienced in a war zone, or the toll that these experiences can take on an individual, matter how strong they are, I'm sure they have suffered traumatic experience, and they really need help before their battles. +So I just read another article where a teacher compared President Trump to Adolph Hitler. And the teacher had the nerve to say that his lesson plans are always "factually based". The last time I checked, Donald Trump has not interred 15 million Jews to concentration camps where he has killed them. Typical liberal Democrat with so much hyperbole. Teachers need to stick to teaching the facts and not interjecting their opinions into their lessons. +This makes me very upset. They don't want to take responsibility, blames it on something else. It's clearly your fault and you should feel guilty for killing all these people. They have every right to sue you for your stupid mistake. We live in a world with idiots. Next time you take the car to work, remember that you can't count yourself to be safe if you are careful. +This story I have read was heart breaking! Two men were shot, one twice in the stomach and the other shot in the back. Sadly no weapons were recovered and no arrests were made causing me to worry the person that did this is free. This upsets me worried for myself and others, hoping to protect the community from the criminal gun man still at large. The two men were taken to the hospital, hoping for a speedy recovery for them and comfort for their families after this tragic incident! The terrible time they must all be going through now. Worrying and stressing over this unthinkable situation. I sure do hope the person responsible is found and arrested quickly, to keep our community safe from additional attacks and to to get him the help he needs. Not to mention time in prison. Certainly right +Some of the drivers around this place need to be taken out of their cars and arrested. Some people were struck on Highway 80 near Chunky. Some kids were involved. I think three people died. They were riding on the back of a trailer celebrating Halloween. A vehicle collided with the trailer probably a drunk. I think they were just in a hurry like everyone else around here. I guess that driver is going to get it. +I just read an article about wind turbines killing birds. I hadn't ever thought about it before, but it makes a lot of sense. It's just curious that in trying to be "green," were actually hurting part of the ecology. Apparently, hundreds of thousands of birds are being killed annually. Worst of all, they are killing Golden Eagles, an endangered species! It's just really sad. +Gosh, who would do something as horrible as kill an innocent animal (and a baby at that)? However, I am glad that the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group and the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign set up a reward to catch whoever did that. I was also happy to see that it was an immediate response, not a delayed one. It's sad that people won't come forward on their own to bring justice and that there has to be a monetary incentive. +I really am sick of these pseudo scientists running around screaming the sky is falling. It is a load of garbage science. The take a snapshot of the earth, a vastly complicated system with millions of variables that is in constant flux and motion. They plug this into a model with a couple of hundred hand picked variables and pronounce that we are all doomed. It is bad science and everyone knows it. +Ugh have you seen what's going on in New Delhi? The air pollution over there is horrible and so many people are getting seriously sick! They are calling the city a gas chamber because the air quality is so bad. I'm so glad we don't have to deal with that around here but I really feel for all of the children who are being affected by all of this. I can't imagine how helpless parents feel when there's nothing they can do to help their kids. +This ticks me off for two reasons: One, that we've messed up the Australian ecosystem so badly, and two, that people are going to read it and say "Oh, no, it wasn't climate change at all, so we don't have to do anything to fix it." Either way, it was man-made problems that did this little guy in. I wish they would blame it thoroughly on climate change, so people would maybe be spurred to do something. Instead, right now they'll say "Oh, it wasn't *really* climate change," and when a more clear-cut extinction happens, they'll point back to this and say "Well, it's been going on for a long time now, nothing we can do." Christ. +So, I was reading recently about how Kenya deported a South Sudan opposition official. despite threats against him, they deported him as tensions rose over peacekeeping efforts. Kenyan authorities have reacted super angrily to a U.N. decision this week to dismiss the Kenyan general in charge of the peacekeeping force there, for failing to protect civilians during a recent outbreak of violence. +I think it's so rude when people mock government officials and get so full of them selves over politics. It really just burns me up that people can't get along in regards to it. I hate reading about politics in general and it is even worse when you have to read about grown adults bickering and arguing over it all. Joe Walsh and Diana Duckworth both are very immature. What do you think? +it funny how people do stupid things that just pop into their mind like taking a topless selfie while driving just to send it to the other person . seriously if u want to do that just park the car at the site and do it , it not ur live that u are putting in danger ,it also other ppl live thatu can easily ruined if u dont drive carefully +I've never heard of this person or this talk show, have you? Mostly I find this stuff kind of boring, and although it's sad for people to lose their jobs, this happens all the time, and to people who have probably earned a lot less than these people, and who have a lot less prospects of being reemployed. Shows are cancelled all the time, so I get kind of annoyed with this kind of news. +An article that I just read is really pretty disturbing. It speaks of the tremendous droughts in the river areas of Bolivia. It's bad enough because it is just a natural disaster situation, but the fact that there was also mismanagement involved is particularly troubling. The government failed to properly care for the canals. The article also speaks of selling off many of its wild animals. This might become a very serious problem given the fact that some of the animals are endangered species such as the wild dog. They are also looking at selling off elephants, lions and pythons. Even if they do this, how much of the money will ever actually reach its citizens to help them? +it is too bad that so many people still deny that polution and man made climate change is destroying our natural world. it makes me wonder what will be left for my grandchildren to enjoy of our natural world. in my life i have noticed the degredation of the ourdoors to a fair extent and it is only accelerating. woe to mankind. +This is horrifying. You're just going about your business, then someone takes issue with you, and suddenly you're dead. Maybe you didn't even interact with them and they just decided to kill you for fun. It's deeply troubling and makes you suspicious of every stranger on the street. I also feel bad for those who had to witness this and didn't have time to do anything to stop it. I'd imagine some feel guilty even though they couldn't have helped. +The outer boom which was put in place to contain the spilled oil had broke free on Friday causing the oil to spread and bad weather had prevented clean up crews from working on the spill for four consecutive days. By Saturday, salvage crews had recovered more than 40 percent of the 200,000 liters of fuel estimated to be in the vessel, but the damage had already been done. +Hey, Josh here is another example of total insanity in a nation that has taken millions of jobs from people around the world but refuses to give any serious consideration to the health and welfare of its citizens. These people are pawns and the sad thing is no one there has the will to fix any of the sanitation problems or air quality issues. What is so hard about it? Maybe they should start eating some of their relatives, you know, cattle. +Damaging the Amazon rain forest, one of the most iconic and well-known rain forests known to man, just to get oil is simply inexcusable. The US's hunt for crude oil is coming with disastrous consequences and needs to be rectified. By tearing down the Amazon trees, hurtful greenhouse gases are rising into the air, damaging the air quality around us. Corporations shouldn't be able to hurt the environment like this. It makes me angry. +If it's not bad enough that the father is a child molester who molested his own child, the mother had the nerve to join in on the abuse. I doubt very serious if she was forced to do it as she could have divorced him or left him rather commit such a heinous crime and money is no excuse. I wouldn't molest my child for all the money in the world. These people were just sicking perverse sorry excuses for human beings. +I don't know how they do it. They get abused in their own country, then abused by orgs that are supposed to help. I simply don't know why they would want to live. They are very strong. No org HAS to help them but if they sign up to help- then help. I think some are doing the best they can to help. However- more has to be done- Animals can't be left this way, so why can people? +Just when you think you have heard enough crazy Donald Trump stories this one takes the cake. I just read about a mother from Fresno Texas who not only kicked her elementary son out of the house for voting in a mock school election for Donald Trump she also videotaped it. Well, of course, the video went viral. The Fort Bend County Texas sheriff's department went to check out the situation and the child seemed to be in good health. The mother made the child stand on the street corner with a sign telling why he was kicked out of the house. The mother claims now that it was only a joke. I hope the child is not permanently scarred from this incident. +As if our immigration problem couldn't get any worse! Now Haitian immigrants are going through Mexico to show up at the Cali border! I hope they all get deported. Immigrants are nothing but a plague on this country, for the most part, save the elite ones we get from areas of Asia. The Haitians would do nothing to stimulate our economy, would all end up on public assistance, and would cost taxpayers like you and me! We really can't afford to keep letting them stream into the country, but the good news is that most of them are being booted. We just need to change "MOST" to "ALL" because there is nothing good that can come of letting them in the country!! +Remember that you where telling me about how you were having trouble sleeping lately? Maybe you should take a look at this article that I found online about sleep paralysis and what it is all about and how it is affecting this guy. I hope that it can help you out a little bit with what you have been going through. +Awww, this story is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine what this family is going through. Did you see this? I am hopeful that they can find peace. If something like this happened to me, I do not know what I would do. I guess that this just reminds us that life is precious and we should appreciate what we have! +It's just so distressing to read about the negative effects we constantly have on defenseless animals. Human beings need to be more respectful of the planet and its native biodiversity. I just finished reading an article about an endangered species in the Gulf called the Vaquita that is slated to be extinct by 2022 due to nothing beyond happening to be in the water where people are fishing. It's just so thoughtless, so shortsighted, and so frustratingly preventable. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading the most heartbreaking article. I read the story of a man, Wesley O'Dell, and his wife finding a tortured dead kitten on the side of the road. The kitten was wrapped in electrical cords and its jaw was ripped apart. The body was already stiff when they found it. Now O'Dell and his wide are asking people to share the story as an attempt to bring awareness to animal abuse and try to prevent it in the future. +This article is interesting. I guess there is risk with everything and now men concieved through IVF may have trouble conceiving themselves. I'm glad I didn't have to go the IVF route, although I guess it's not a sure thing that the men conceived through IVF will have a lower sperm count, but I guess the risk is higher. I don't think there are too many people that know about this information. it's the first time I've ever heard of it. +So, a man in china, put a chopstick into his penis. Yeah, you heard me. He wanted to see if he had an infection or something, and instead of being a normal person, and going to the doctor, he decided to self examine and see what he could find. He ended up having to have surgery to remove the chopstick out of hiis penis. What would possess a man, to do such a thing?, The only thing I can think of after reading this story,, is about how real mental ilness is.. There is no other excuse in my opinion on why someone so masochistic. I mean, the doctors said, any further , and he would have killed himself. It hurst me just thinking about this. +I read an article about Typhoon Meranti. The article said the storm passed by Taiwan without actually hitting the island, which I suppose was a good thing, because evidently there was another storm in 2009, Typhone Morakot, that killed a bunch of people and did billions of dollars of damage. I'm glad I don't live somewhere where there's any inclement weather like that, it must be miserable to live on an island where it's hot and crowded. +People working in Financial institutions or banks should be honest and do what is morally right. Workers who opened fake accounts should be fired, that is unethical. No one would be expecting such a huge scam at Wells Fargo. I am deeply saddened, I have an account with Wells Fargo. I have to be paying close attention to my account, one never knows when something will go wrong. +Hey buddy. I think this article made me worried about this Zika situation. It is spreading with such vigor like never before and it kills very fast. I think the whole world needs to be on alert and health scientists need to be working hard to try and eradicate this disease. It's gonna take some time but something needs to be done +Thats really heartbreaking to read the story about the man who lost his family in a car crash. I think people who street race are acting very dangerously for now reason and it is usually very stupid young males who do this. I dont know what sense to make out of this since the woman and her children did not seem to do anything to deserve this. Maybe it takes stories like this to make us realize how p[precious life is and how careful we must be +These numbers leave little room to think that climate change is not happening. As you know, I firmly believe in the importance of environmental protections and think climate change is a problem. However, articles like this only add to the problem. These numbers are shocking on the surface but could easily be explained by natural fluctuations year to year. I wish they would focus on balanced science instead. +I kind of think this article was written in a tongue-in-cheek manner especially when you read that last line--what a pun! If there is any truth to it, though, what could possible cause these kinds of chemical burns on a shampoo product that should be thoroughly tested when mixed with water in the shower. How could it even happen like that? Is there actual lye in these bottles? I guess we'll find out when the case goes to trial. +Wow - I don’t know what I’d do in this situation. How sad for these people. They have to leave everything behind, and they really don’t have a lot of options. I feel really sad for the children. It’s like they have no home. What a mess. I wish the middle east wasn’t so violent. I don’t understand all the hate. +This article I just read talks about another mass shooter. Well, not so much mass shooter like some of the recent ones, but they did open fire in public and kill 5 people. I can't help but feel disgusted that these things still happen. I really hope that this guy gets what he deserves, because this has to stop. +I'm sorry....I don't mean to laugh...but.....this was TOO MUCH. I hate to admit that I found it a little bit funny, but at the same time, I feel sorry that this man was this ignorant to do this to himself. Now he's going to have to go through so much more stuff, when in all likeliness, a simple urine test probably would have been performed to find a solution to the issue to begin with. +no matter what your heritage, you should be able to serve your country. her thai heritage shouldn't preclude her and shouldn't have been an issue in this debate. tammy duckworth and her family should be congratulated on the services they have provided to this country. any type of racism should not be allowed in a debate +Man how sad, that is terrible to imagine what the poor dog went through. I don't think we should hate the guy too much, even though he should definitely face consequenes. Ultimately I am sure he's really heart broken about what happened to the dog, and it was just a mistake not like some negelectful, hateful act. +I just read an article about suicide, it was really sad. It started off talking about a 12 year old girl who was interested in suicide groups online. One day she went to school, or so her mother thoght. The mother recieved a phone call from the channel A&E notifiing her that her daughter had took her own life. The article went on to say how Russia was third in the world in suicides. It was a really sad article. +This article was about the disturbing finds by the Iraqi military as they re-captured territory from retreating Islamic State fighters. They found mass graves of people killed by ISIS and although there is some confusion about the details, there are dozens or maybe over 100 bodies. There is also evidence of torture. The ISIS fighters were certainly brutal towards their victims, and have captured many more to use as human shields or to kill outright for their perceived beliefs. +We live in a world someone can not only be arrested for their thoughts, but can be seen as a target for violence from monsters. From the shooter, to the local government, these actions should be condemned on all fronts. The government was wrong to arrest the deceased, and the murderer was of course wrong for shooting him to death . I am saddened that someone lost his life because of his charge of a charged message. While I do feel glad that apparent justice will be served in this case, this just goes to show you how violent some people can become when you toss religious ideals into the mix. +This is so sad. Something needs to be done for these refugees. People need to be more accepting of them. People shouldn't be afraid of letting them into their country, they are just people who need help. I feel so bad for the babies, children and mothers on these boats. It's horrifying to imagine drowning in the sea, especially from the eyes of a child. +There was more bombing over in Syria in the news over the weekend. There were over 300 casualties including small children. A father and son were found dead in the rubble as well as two boys whose mother survived in an adjoining room. It seems like the violence in the Middle East is never ending. +I honestly cant remember what i read. I walked away for a drink and came back and i completely forgot. Reading these articles like this in succession is tedious and makes the stories asll run together making the retention of the story hard to keep. I would have reread the article if i could and there was an option to +The person was robbed the money at gun point and escaped from that place. The victim calls the 911 and the police investigation the victim and gathered some information about the criminal. Then they are start to search the criminal.The victim calls the 911 and the police investigation the victim and gathered some information about the robbery. +wow sleep paralysis sounds so scary! I hope that this never happens to me ! I think that It was affect me for a long time . I'm sure that those few short seconds that is happens seems like hours . I would probably have a heart attack from being so scared. Yeah no thank you on any of that . I will be making sure I don't drink before going to bed from now on. +Just read another "EPA" article promoting its usual bull shit. This time its the "a la The Simpsons fish with 3 heads" where a scientist is taking a picture of his ONE deformed Salmon he cought and wants the entire world to flip out about his 1 mutated fish. Well, ever seen a 4 leaf clover? Thats "mutated" as well right? +Thinking about water contamination is a scary thought. When that can effect our children it makes things even worse. The crisis in Flint is unacceptable and to hear about the drinking fountain in Chicago makes things even worse. It makes you think that major improvements need to made across the US. New laws need to be put in place to ensure everyone is getting healthy water. +I just read an article about Susan Sarandon asking people to put their money where their mouth is in regards to the Dakota Access Pipeline. While I don't agree with her position, I do agree with that statement. If people want to whine about it, they should step up and help instead of crying on social media. +See? This is why sometimes I rather ignore the news. Shootings over there, people dead over here, drugs, etc. It makes me sick the kind of world we live in. Hundreds of deaths just because they thought these people were related to drug dealing? I mean, did they even had some kind of proof? Why shoot to kill? Why not stick to the laws and put them in jail if they were found guilty? +I found a story about Kate Beckinsale and her husband, Len Wiseman, they have pulled the plug on their marriage ... TMZ has learned. Wiseman cited irreconcilable differences. His docs state both he and Kate have waived any right to spousal support, and that suggests there's a prenup. They were married in 2004 and have no kids together. TMZ broke the story ... the couple's marriage was on the rocks last November. Len was spotted out with model CJ Franco, and Kate we seen shortly after -- sans wedding ring -- on the red carpet. +did you hear about that Indian girl from Kashmir who got blinded by the government with pellet guns that have sharp edges. She wasn't doing anything but standing by a window. These corrupt governments are so evil. Kashmir is being fought over and innocent people are being killed and hurt. It really is disgusting what these governments are doing. +Hey I just read this article about more craziness ISIS is doing? Sometimes the articles have so many names of places I don't recognize and can't pronounce that I get a little off track of the point of the article. I gues those terrorists are using people as human shields to keep and take control or surroundings areas. They know this is against UN policy, but I doubt they care. There is always something going on in the Middle East, it seems nothing gets better for the people just trying to live. I feel like something should be done to improve the situation, but it's been bad since I was a kid and I doubt it'll get better. +I can't believe people spend their money doing that kind of parties. I think its not correct to be extremist in how much we support a president. White supremacists are dangerous people with crazy ideology. They promote horrible values to their sons and to the society, they are not respectful with other races and that hurt the society, specially here in United States that is a multi-cultural country. This groups should disappear from the map as soon as possible! Their ideology is useless in a country like this. +Wow. So sad to see yet another species on the way to extinction. It's crazy to think that there's only 60 of one species left in the world. I know that it was the same way with the white rhino - it was like we knew it was coming, but we were completely unable to stop it, because it was just too late. I wonder if they could keep them in captivity. +People often think of what it must be like to be in the 1% and be ultra successful. But often times we forget about the many pressures and responsibilities that come a long with that. Take Mikhail Lesin for example. The man was very well know and successful and look what happened to him he wound up dead just like everyone else. Now, the conclusion is that it was an accident, but the type of people and industries and location of the world leaves a lot of speculation. I guess thats a price you have to pay if you make enemies in the world. You are either looking over your shoulder all the time or completely stressed to death. What a world. +So I just read that article about Alexandria Vera. I know you know who she is, and I know the lawyer in you just wants to get in that case. I mean, can you imagine the nerve of a teacher to exploit a minor in that way. She deserves more than 30 years, if you ask me. And the parents of the minor ought to have been charged with something. That is disgraceful. I mean, what is happening in America today? Some of the things I read about make me sick! +This shooting is a good example of how black people and people w are wrongly prosecuted by the police. Now in this articles this gentlemen is getting a re-trial since they concur that he didn't do such thing and basically had the police lying to the judge. Now he can be fairly be judged and not be discriminated +Did you see the article about the attack in the mall in MI? Can you imagine, just minding your own business, and then this guy dressed as a security guard starts stabbing people, yelling something about Allah??? Thank GOD there was an off duty cop there to stop him, or imagine how long he could have gone on for? This is getting crazy. We've gotta do something. I don't want to be worried about my safety just going to the mall. +This is surprising news. First, how the news always make us believe that when a cop dies, is because of a black person (or someone who is not white), making race a big thing again. Number two, I am not saying that is good that people are dead, but instead, I am saying that not a lot of them are dead. And for those who are not dead, we should think about them, provide them with better guide, counseling and stuff like that, they go through traumatic events at work +What a shame. I wish the article went more into detail about what happened to the actress and the guy she was with. I'm assuming they just broke in and then used tear gas on the couple? How did they escape from the masked men? Or did the masked guys just steal stuff and then leave? I'm not sure what the gun laws in France are but these reports would make me feel uneasy there. +I feel sad yet again to here about more crimes against the native americans. The pipeline is disgusting and will no doubt result in leaks that contaminate water. It is good that people are protesting but I don't feel it will end up working. There is oil there and they will kill people if they need to just like they do in every other country. +I just don't understand how this is the country that we all say we love and adore, but yet when others come here there are so many stipulations for them, and then even when they succeed at jumping through all of the hoops they are forced to, they have even more guidelines behind that. It's just so unfortunate that these refugees will feel unsafe and ultimately feel like refugees for the rest of their lives. +I am so bothered and upset about the elementary school teacher that was charged with child pornography. I cannot believe a trusted individual would commit such a heinous crime involving children! This infuriates me to my core that someone could hurt innocent children this way! Does this make you just as mad? I really feel for those parents of the children involved and hope that it does not do permanent damage to all those sweet babies! +Gosh, the emotions I felt while reading that. Being a nurse, I would be so scared of such a mass emergency and worrying about it people would make it or not. It disgusts me that innocent people would be used as human shields. How could someone do that to someone else? And they purposely brought them into the center of the city with the intention of using them as human shields. +Hey buddy. Did you hear about this weird disease that is spreading amongst the frog population? Apparently it's a disease that happens due to people having ponds in their house. I worry what this disease could do to the local population of frogs. Tell anyone who has a pond to becareful with what they are moving in and out of their ponds. +How terrible it would be to live your life knowing you murdered someone. It would be interesting to speak to somebody, who was maybe sixty or seventy, and had murdered someone as a young person, what they would have to say about it, how they feel about it and what they've learned, having killed someone, about themselves and society. +I can't believe that this happened. Can you imagine what it must be like to flee from something so incredibly dangerous and then lose your life at sea or see people die while you're escaping? I wonder sometimes what must possess refugees to do this. Is there no other way for them to escape? Why do they risk their lives when they know the numbers of people who die in situations like this? It must be awful where they are coming from for them to risk it all. I mean, look at that star soccer player. She was like royalty in her country and a celebrated athlete. If even she took the risk and died, what must it be like for other people? +This is so disturbing. It says that they are killing chickens that are still awake during it. It's like they like torturing them. Why can't we be like Europe? In Europe they have rules on how this is supposed to be done. No we just let companies do whatever they like. How hard it is to kill something and make sure it's not awake while doing so? +I feel pretty indifferent about this kind of thing overall. It’s not fair to the men, but at the same time society has been conditioned in such a way that we have a higher demand for female models and lower demand for male models. Society is unfair in a lot of ways, and this is one of the few ways where women benefit over men. +Yo. I hope that you are ready to read a long ass article about things that both did not make a difference in the election and things that enough people decided did not fucking matter. It's another take on "look at what an asshole trump is" It's totally true, but nothing changed because of things like this so I don't see the reason of rehashing it. Trump's a real mother fucker, but he was a white man, so enough assholes voted for him. Anyway, please enjoy yet another garbage article. +I think that everyone should be aware of the people that they touch. There are times whenever we take others for granted. I think that we don't always tell each other about what their lives mean to us. I know that it is tough growing up alone in a world without others. I know that it is tough to make lasting friends. +I thought that this article was something very hurtful to read. I was reading about the fire and what happened to the place that these people live and it said that these people got hurt and injured and I felt very bad for them. I wish that there was a way that everyone could help along to. The people should be more careful about the fire and see the safety next time. +The article was about corruption at the International Monetary Fund, specifically the wrongdoing of former boss Rodrigo Rato. The banking industry is rife with issues like this, so it comes as no surprise that someone was trying to take advantage of the system even in an international organization like the IMF. The problem is that we do not have enough prosecutors that are willing to take on the banking industry and put them in their place. I'm tired of constantly hearing about people getting away with white collar crimes. +I don't really feel much of anything when I read about this sort of incident since it happens all the time, I guess if I had to come up with something I would say I feel vaguely annoyed and irritated, I don't see why people can't manage to watch sports games in an orderly, non-violent manner, so the fact that we have to deal with this nonsense every time a popular sporting event happens is irritating. I think that it should not be difficult for people to conduct themselves appropriately, so it is frustrating that this sort of thing happens so often during sporting and other events. +The fact that all Trump has to say when asked about his supporters being violent is "Stop it." Is laughable. Yet when he is asked his opinion on minorities like muslims or hispanics, he can go on for days. Him and his supporters have worms in their brains or something. There's no way any logical person capable of rationality would agree with half the things he says. +I can't even imagine what it would be like to be minding our own business in a club and then having someone come in and shoot you. This must have been terrifying for this person. I certainly hope they did not lose their life and I also hope this is not an incident that leads to further problems in the future. +Nothing gets to me more than hearing about hungry children. Nobody should go hungry. There's so much food in this world. It breaks my heart to hear about kids fainting in school because they've only had one meal for the day. I wish there was a way to help these kids more directly. I'm not one to give to large non-profit organizations but I feel so bad for these kids. +We need to make sure these brave people have more resources. Government needs to realize the value of animal tourism and do more to stop poaching. Once these precious animals are gone, there will be no bringing them back. We need to do more to make sure this does not happen. Poaching is a huge problem in Africa and penalties need to be severe +This is so sad guys. :( I can't believe this, I never knew how far reaching climate change actually was. These poor turtles are dying because of the temperature changes. Please do something, write your local senator so we can start to reverse this. We need to get back into the climate accords and become a leader in environmental sustainability, instead of what we have been doing. +I hear the British Government is looking to drill for oil again. This time they are looking to drill near the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda. Everyone is so dependent on oil all the time. Too bad for some giraffes that live there as they will be displaced. Of course I could really care less about giraffes 5000 miles away from me. Still I wish the giraffes the best I suppose. Brits are such weasels it figures they would look to kill a bunch of giraffes for their own selfish gains. Governments all stink. +Really? How are these people allowed to have children? Its really not that hard to not poison your child is it? I mean it shouldn't be, but maybe these people are high on their own drugs so they don't notice their kids are getting into them. Its really sad and something should certainly be done. +I think the girl may be as spy for another country. She sells the important information to another government. It may be leads to sever problem to the Pakistan Government. So, the Police Action is correct. The Police must be gathered from the girl. First thing is the girl did not the authorized person for enter this office. This is the first criminal activity. She theft the important information from the office. This is the severe criminal activity. So, the Girl must be punished severe. This is the big problem for the Government. +I just heard that the Editor of Elle magazine killed herself. It is always sad when someone take their own life. What makes this one worse than the usual is that there were chances that she could have been helped but she was turned away. They said that she was "over the worst of it" but other evidence suggests that she was not. To me it seems like people did not want to deal with her for some reason or they were on a small budget and could not afford to treat her so they turned her away. Very sad and very messed up that you turn away someone whop wants helpa dn they then kill themselves. The system needs to be fixed. +Here we go again, talking about political figures forging and waging war for the popular vote. They switch sides and change their point of view so much that it is easy to say they don't care about the common person, only their chair in office. I think that the parties have merged into one, one mass all out war to get into office. +Wow, did you hear what happened to Mallika Sherawat in France? She was gassed and beaten and robbed. That is unbelievable! So scary and it could happen to anyone everywhere. She is lucky to be alive. It is sad though that this story got mixed in with politics because it wasn't even about Clinton, or Obama or Trump. +It was sort of sadly ironic to see the part in there about "we don't think he'll win" considering what followed. All of it, sadly, still rings true, day after day. There's been no apology, only a doubling down on the kind of bile, arrogance, and ignorance that was on display since day one. I feel bad for every woman in the country who has to live with someone like that as their president. +New wildfires across Appalachia! Thought I'd share this with you after our discussion about California wild fires. This one is huge in the Appalachian mountains and seems to be spreading. It can also be seen from space! Hopefully everyone gets out safe and the firefighters are all able to contain it safely. Thinking of you! +This is a nice story - people have some level of need to protect nature and protecting birds is an excellent way of giving back, especiailly since some are endangered. I have to commend this person for trying really hard to protect one species, and for committing to it. I myself would have a difficult time choosing what to hel pwith - but this person doesnt! +I read an interesting article online about Russia again. Apparently one of Putins former aids had just died outside of a hotel in D.C., that is really crazy and scary. Apparently a lot of people are thinking that this could be foul play and it wouldn't be a surprise since the Russian government is known for doing this sort of thing all the time. He was apparently fixing to cut a deal with the federal government which would have angered the Russian government so I bet they killed him off so that they could avoid him giving away information to the federal government. +After reading this story I think the right decision was made. It seems to me that the man had no reason to shoot at those kids just because they were playing loud music. Sure music can be annoying but no one deserves to be shot over it. I don't think that any changes need to be made to the stand your ground laws. This was a simple case of someone making poor choices and now needs to pay the price for their actions. +This day and age, there is a tremendous amount of evidence showing that climate change is real. In this new reality, how will life react. Do species have the ability to adapt and thrive in new clients or will they disappear. What will happen to humans as well? More studies need to be done in order to figure out not if we can stop climate change, but how will it affect us all. +This story specifically doesn't make me feel anything, since I don't know these people and I feel like if I tried to have emotions for every victim of a crime I read about that would just require too much mental effort. In a broader sense however, I feel frustrated and tired of having to deal with men committing acts of violence against women constantly simply because they can, especially in cases like this where there didn't seem to be much prior warning. It's irritating because it is such an awful trend, so it makes me feel sort of disgusted with the state of the world in that way. +It deeply saddens me to think that a mother could leave her child on a porch and abandon it. I feel some anger towards the mother for abandoning her young, defenseless child. The child is very lucky to have been found by kind strangers who were able to deliver it to safety. I hope that the child will be adopted into a loving family and will be given a solid upbringing. +The article that I read was about these architects that are building things and they are kindof looking at the tactics for buildings and their tools that are used to build the buildings. They want to see what will be safer and allow the people to make better buildings. There was a recent mishap that caused several people to die and it was related to the building issues. +It’s a shame that Nevada is going through this. It is a beautiful state. I really feel for the reservations. They have no where to go. They rely on water as a way of life. They have animals that need water. I don’t really know what can be done. Maybe we should address climate change. It is definitely happening. +It is sad that children are still dying from measles. According to UNICEF, there is a simple vaccine that can be given, which would stop children from being affected. It affects most children in poor countries, which is very sad. The vaccine isn’t that expensive and you would think that the leaders of all countries would get together and do something about this problem. It is not just up to the USA to stand up and do something. These other countries (even though they are poor) need to get more educated and help protect their own children and citizens in their own country. It is sad that children and others have to die because we can’t coordinate with each other, to get the vaccines to those who need it most. I feel sorry for those families who have suffered the loss of a child due +I just read an article about an infant orangutan, that was so sad. There had been several orangutans rescued from an illegal dealer. They were taken to a rescue center. The infant orangutan all of a sudden collapsed in her cage. She has meningitis which can be deadly for her. She is getting amazing care at this center though, so I sure hope she pulls through. I have no extra money right now but you can donate to this organization! +It doesn't matter what country you live in. The powerful will always stomp on the weak. Expecting anything from your government or your party is pointless unless you have some amount of influence. Politics have not stopped war, poverty, disease, crime, or anything else. It simply is a way to subjugate mass amounts of people no differently than in olden times. They keep painting a pretty picture, and we all live in this illusion that life can be great here or there. But that is because there is not enough focus on the horrible things happening under our noses, even in our own neighborhoods. People are wretched, and those who rise to power will continue to be the most retched as they sell themselves out to any donor, or support that will keep them in power. +I am really shocked by our current healthcare system. I just read an article that informed me that something as simple of hand washing can prevent hundreds of deaths and disability for US infants. Why isn't this common knowledge. I am really disappointed. It may not be a majority of children who are at-risk or afflicted, but for the few children who are , this information would have been everything. +As I read this article, I felt a bit nervous and alarmed at India's tiger population, even though this is in India but still. Hopefully, the Tigers will be better protected in the future and people will stop trying to kill them or dial it down at least. I wish India's tigers the best in their protection and survival. +I find this article to be stupid. It talks about how Trump supporters are attacking actors from the show Silicon Valley. I'm not a Silicon Valley fan and I do not know who those actors are, but I believe that if there were ever to be a fight that escalates due to differing political opinion, I would just walk up and leave. +Regardless of what scientists believe the earth is warming. I think that people are constanstly always trying to come up with reasons as to what is happening with the earth, but these people are trying to pick this ladys research apart. Also, I am not sure how sexual harassment plays into the article, but that is a big deal in the US. People get harassed way to often in the workplace with nothing being done. +It's kind of amazing how little we knew what was going on back then. There have certainly been a lot of changes since that day. I think we can all take comfort in the fact that the world didn't end that day. Even with crazy people in charge the earth's people seem to be capable of keeping us all on the right track. I mainly worry about my own self now. +I just read that poaching of rhinos for ivory has gotten so bad in South Africa that they've begun expanding and now have anti-poacher armies. I say good for them. The animals can't fight back, but hopefully the army can deter poachers. I know the poachers do it because they can make a lot of money, but I just don't understand it. Big game hunters/trophy hunters and poachers are one in the same to me. I think they are both ridiculous reasons to harm or kill any animal. The anti-poaching armies have a scary, but, I think, extremely necessary job. +I felt that reading the excerpt from the article was sad and had me feeling distraught to an extent. I know it's just an article but hearing about all the bad in the world is just an assured way to get a poor start to the day. I was mostly wondering what the situation was where Richard Hong was killed in the Los Angeles home. Whos home was it and why was George Stroumbolopoulos there. I'd like to know the more intricate details of what went down in this crime. Was it a murder of passion or was it cold blooded. Was it in the moment or was it calculated. What will happen now, hopefully and investigation can uncover this. +Hey, man, don't know if you saw this report on the news, but this article is pretty messed up. Those poor people were just trying to have a good time and then all hell broke lose. I remember seeing the news reports and the images were pretty shocking, but the story in this article takes it to another level. You should read it. These poor people are going to get paid for sure. it is funny how the owner had to invoke "God" trying to protect his own ass. +Apparently ISIS is still prevalent in Pakistan.. There have been numerous attacks on the public and a police academy. As bad as this group is for some reason I don't find them to be that big of a threat to Americans. At least not the ones here at home. By the way wasn't donald trump suppose to get rid of ISIS completely? +I am rather turned off by the fact that California allows the water supply to be so construed for people. Very sad to see people in central California go through what Flint, Michigan went through with poor water conditions and I'd hate to be in the political sphere there. It would be good to see organizations working within the region to bring residents quality water. +Those poor little babies. This is just going to keep happening more and more. The rate of human caused extinctions is going up at a scary rate. I know pandas and polar bears are kind of the face of conservation, but they're not the only cute animals out there. And even the ones that aren't cuties matter! Extinction is such a huge, huge deal. +What this article taught me was that heartbreaks are not the end of the world. Yes, they are NOT. Just because that one precious person left us we start living with an emotion that our life has come to an end. Life isn't ending at all, each day is a new beginning, with new people waiting for us out there. As you move forward, life will remove many people from your life just because they aren't required and you can actually reach your destination. Your life has just begun, nobody stops moving, the sun still rises and the sun still sets. +Wow. I can imagine being in that man's shoes. It sounds as if his son could have been more disturbed than originally thought at the other arrest. I would be devastated if I felt so threatened by my own child that I had to resort to violence. I mean, how terrible it must be! Though details aren't completely clear, it sounds as if the son had some issues that weren't completely dealt with and it resulted in some sort of confrontation with his dad. How terrible to have to carry this with him the rest of forever. It would break my heart in two. I hope he gets deep counseling for his grief and guilt. Perhaps if the son had, it wouldn't have happened. More's the pity. +This bsi truly disturbing, I don't understand how someone could ever do that to an animal let alone a small kitten. There are truly some very disturbed peopel on this planet and the person who did this should be punished severely. This si not an act of violence it is an act of malice. The person who did this will go on to do other terrible things in the futurw +I feel bad for these sisters' family. Until we find out more from the autopsy report though, we probably shouldn't jump to conclusions. I don't know much about what could cause pulmonary edema, but maybe it was due to something they both ate, or an infection that they both came down with, or something unrelated to foul play. +The people who will lose homes because of this should be fully compensated and be fully relocated with full government assistance and be transfered to a different location that is still nearby their old homes that will be razed. It's just not fair if they will be leaving these people homeless and will probably have a hard time coping with the loss of their house if this plan gets approved. +I really didn't realize how quickly climate change could have an effect on certain areas of the world. I do believe that climate change is being caused by humans to a good extent, but I'm not sure if negative impacts will come as quickly as some people speculate. It's very interesting but I am concerned for the safety of some people if things continue this way. +I can't believe that these vultures would take advantage of individuals in predicaments where they were desperate and had to take out a high volume of loans in order to earn a better living, in their mind. I understand the concept, but the actual intent of the administrators of ITT Tech and other for-profit schools is devastating with regards to actually helping student's +I completely agree with what the quotes in the article. Things in this country are awful and unsafe for minorities. Things need to change. The entire country and justice system are set in racism. I wish people who claim they "don't care for politics" or support "blue lives" would actually stop to listen to what these people have to say. +We should all try to do more to decrease global warming for the sake the polar bear population and for our own human population as well. Please read this article about the polar bears and the problems they face and issues that they must endure related to global warming. The article is very descriptive and explains the issues very well. It is worth reading and sharing with others to bring exposure to the plight of the polar bears. +so theres this push to remove your money from banks involved in the pipeline screwing over the souix . Im thinking about it. kick the banks that are kicking the native americans seems like a good way to make a point. all the understand is the bottom line, and the pipeline company will lose their backers if they begin to lose too mkuch money +This is awful! I just read that a family lost two family pets and their home due to a horrible fire, still in investigation! This is one of those times when I let my mind wander and I think, what is going to happen to them? Where would they sleep at night? And the pain they must feel for not having the pets, and a place to call their own. +Reading stuff like this puts the refugee in perspective. There has to be something the international community can do that isn't taking in refugees permanently. The vast majority of these people just want to live and build something for themselves. It is of no fault of their own that they were unfortunate enough to be born within the fist of a crazed dictator. +Poor man, he had lot of success to get and more working plans in his life and couldn't achieve them because of his sudden death, at least his dead was natural, I guess, because that isn't specified in the article. My deepest condolences to his friends and family members, he will be missed in the comedians community. +The article about sleep disorders really hits home, because I know more than one person who would be diagnosed with a sleep disorder. All of these people just happen to be overnight workers, too. The fact that the lack of sleep and quality sleep can lead to a higher risk of stroke is very alarming. So many people need to seek help for sleep disorders, because where the disorder itself may not cause major health issues, it can lead to major health issues. +Reading the article, I was disgusted knowing that a father had not only killed himself but took away the lives of his two sons as well. The only reason why that man even killed himself was that the police saw him killing his two children. People in this world today shouldn't lose their lives due to a crazy/selfish elder. +This is very unnerving news. Drug addiction is a serious problem that both America and the rest of the world is facing. There are many victims from the children that are born to drug abusers to the drug abusers who can no longer take care of their children responsibly due to their addiction. Drug addiction is one of the major issues facing society and is one that must be addressed immediately and urgently. +So, about climate change, I just read an article about it. I have never really been concerned about climate change, I think it's a huge act that is exaggerated by the government, media, and everyone in between. The facts about fire increasing are a little scary though... but I still think climate change is irrelevant. Maybe fires just happen more +Did you hear about this shooting? It appears to be random and utterly senseless. An elderly man was killed and the suspect is now barricaded in his house. There was a lot of misinformation early on about it being related to the election and that the suspect was a woman. It's being reported now that both those claims are false. I really feel for that man and his family. +This does not surprise me. The people on RHONY are kind of trashy. So, it is not hard to believe they were married to a person who would do something like this. It does not really sound like a big deal either. He could have done much worse. Did she even lose money because of this? I would guess not. +This was a tough article to read because if you put yourself in that place, and you think of yourself losing a friend that is very close to you or a family friend. I know that whenever I think about not having someone that has been close to me I wonder how I would feel or react. I don't think that we let people know how we feel enough. +Gah. The whole Ke$ha mess. Oops, I man Kesha, without the $ sign. I dunno what to think about the eating disorder and whole rehab thing. Her professional life has been such a proverbial sh*tshow, it's really hard to me to believe that this is anything else than attention-seeking. She just seems to have that kind of personality. +I don't know much about the issues in Syria and other countries in the Middle East, but I'm not a fan of war or our place in these international conflicts. The United States has had military influence in the Middle East for way too long, and we were deceived by President Obama at the time he started office. He stated he would pull all troops out, but that never really happened. The troops may have decreased, but we have a strong presence there still. +Gay conversion therapy is terrible! I think anyone that is forced to go through would need therapy for the rest of their lives just to recover from the trauma of being told who you are is not acceptable! I cannot believe young children are being stripped of their identities, being told who to be, being shamed for who they are, and learning to hate themselves. They know who they are, and being told to put that part of themselves back in the closet is completely cruel and unjust. This is psychological torture. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to shame anyone into conversion therapy. I cannot stand Mike Pence and everything he stands for. He probably is a strong advocate because he is probably closeted! Why can't people just be ok with who they are? We should love everyone! +Police in Hope, Indiana, released a chilling photo of a mother passed out behind the steering wheel of her car from an apparent drug overdose with a syringe in her hand. Crying in the backseat: her 10-month-old son. Parents are doing this more often with children in the car because they are doing it away from someone who is going to disapprove,” marshal Matthew Tallent told IndyStar. “This is becoming a new norm for drug users +Thinking about air conditions in other countries I wonder if other countries who have the capability can help out. The article I read was about air quality and I wondered if it's hard to teach Indian citizens the affects of what they are doing. Maybe teaching them in school would help. It seems many people are suffering and changing for the better would benefit a lot of people. I guess us caring about those would also be beneficial to us because we all share the same planet. +Are you kidding me? This is on YOU LA County Department of Children and Family Services! How could you let this fall through the cracks! "Authorities found no cause for alarm — school officials told social workers he lived in a safe household." Yeah, that was said just before the boy DISAPPEARED. Then, NOTHING was done. He was alive and locked in a closet for three years! We need more oversight at LA County! This cannot happen to our children! The poor boy was drugged, even when they moved houses. I cannot believe there is a mother so cruel. You should not be allowed to have children! +While I obviously think that it is sad that an animal is dead since I love animals, what I mostly feel reading this story is aggravation. It really annoys and worries me that people insist climate change is a political issue when we can see its effects everywhere, including in the form of the current extinction crisis. I know that this particular one was due to a fungus, but it is part of a trend and might be related, so that is what this makes me think of. I always feel frustrated and worried about the future whenever I am reminded that extinctions like this and other problems are just going to keep happening because conservatives refuse to acknowledge that the problem even exists. It could be fixed, but probably won't be, and that irritates me. +I'm glad that the officers that responded to the scene did not get hurt. I am also happy that the loose Emu did not get hurt. This is a hard article to write about. I wish that all police calls ended with a happy ending like this story where everybody gets to go home. I wish the worlds problems where as simple as an escaped emu on the loose. I believe that most police officers are kind and good nature and want to do the right thing, like helping this emu, but they are human and with any humans you will have some bad ones. Once again just happy nobody got hurt. +OMFG. Seriously?! This cannot be real. I refuse to believe this is real. Someone made this crap up, right? Japanese culture historically famously disregards and degrades women (eg: Geisha girls), but FFS what year is this? <slowly bangs head on desk> Japanese women still cover their mouths when they laugh. Are Japanese men that threatened by empowering women? Cause I'm thinking apparently so. +Video Shows Cop Punching Woman In The Face, But She’s The One Arrested For ‘Assault’ — A uniformed Arizona police officer who was filmed punching a woman has been placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated. “Our agency is very concerned by what is depicted in this video,” police in Flagstaff, Arizona, said in a Wednesday evening press release. The footage, shot and posted to Facebook on Wednesday, shows a woman struggling with two officers who apparently believe there is an outstanding warrant for her arrest. She can be heard on video saying the issue has already been resolved. “You cannot arrest me until I know I have a warrant,” she tells the officers as she struggles with them. Suddenly, one of them strikes her in the face with a closed fist. Authorities have See. +I think the situation in allepo is really dire. I don't understand why the syrian government is trying to harm the people there whey they didn't do anything wrong. I think the whole situation is really sad and that a lot of innocent people are getting hurt for no reason. War is awful and I hope that there's a solution to it soon. I'm glad that the UN is trying to do something, but I just don't think that it's enough. +What an alarming statistic! I had no idea that such things even existed! While it's true that this seems to be much more of a problem in Russia than in the US, since it's on the internet it is still something that could potentially be accessed by our kids! Teenagers have enough to deal with without having to worry about being prodded into doing something horrible like committing suicide by these online idiots! I remember being a teenager and how hard it was, but I didn't have to deal with this! This is completely awful! +A car Taliban car bomb exploded in front of the German consulate in Afghanistan. It killed 100 people.These type of events are to come these days. I mean how does anyone process them any more. I'm personally numb to all this now. It might as well be fiction at this point. It seems like I hear about similar incidents like this everyday. I don't know. +Its sad that now and moving forward in my lifetime we will see many older actors and actresses succumb to death in its many forms. It makes me feel for those people and gain a sense of time in a view that is not endless. I can put myself in the shoes of someone older and battling health problems and it saddens me to do so. +I like some of these new approaches to reducing the harmful effects of bullying, but it's still not enough. Just having a shocking video that raises awareness doesn't help the problem from starting, just helps us react to it quicker. We need to keep building programs that are designed to support our children, but we need to do it before they start to bully (or be bullied). So many of our anti-bullying stories talk about standing up to them and bullying back...that is not the way! +I am a little confused as to how these hacks happen, but it sucks when they do. I am a Yahoo user and think they have had to take precautionary measures multiple times in recent years to stop issues. Data breaches are troubling and can affect us all so I am not happy about the article's details that make me somewhat nervous. +This is sort of scary. I think it could have something to do with water contamination. There are so many types of bacteria. There are also so many different types of pesticides used in farming. I do think it's strange that this happened in a small area, which again, would lead me to think contamination of the ground or water. I wonder about the reference to the cattle, thinking that might have something to do with it. Scary stuff! +We should cherish all the works that the police force offers to us each and every day. While we sleep at night, police officers patrol up and down our streets and neighborhoods making sure that we are safe and sound. We may fear police officers when we see them but fear not because they serve the country as our law and enforcement. +It sounds to me like this man got what he deserved. What did he expect would happen when he ran from the police and didn't follow orders? People who get shot in these situations are simply getting what they deserve and are saving the tax payers a lot of money on their trials and being housed in prisons for the rest of their lives. +Hey I was just reading an article about a teacher bashing president Trump. You know my position when it comes to Trump, you know I dislike the man and all; however, I do not believe a teacher can use his position to bash someone especially on school grounds. I believe he can state his opinion, but not disguise it as the truth. That could be very dangerous. +It is so hard to think that you are not safe anywhere in the world, you expect to be able to go out into the world and enjoy yourself without having to worry about someone hurting you are those around you. That is not a concern anyone should have to face, but it seems to be becoming more of an issue day by day. +Hey I feel like Trump winning was way worse than people thought. The amount of violent attacks on minorites and in general have increased considerably. There have been over 200 attacks since election day can you imagine that? I hate that trunp supporters somehow feel vindicated with their awful racism. +very bad act abut killing that happened Now that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friend or something you would post on social media. Please do not identify your intended friend(s) - just write your thoughts about the article as if you were communicating with them Now that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friend or something you would post on social media. Please do not identify your intended friend(s) - just write your thoughts about the article as if you were communicating with them .... +While the article seems to be slightly sympathetic to the inmates, I say no way. I don't particularly care what happens to most prisoners, let alone the violent ones that attack each other and guards. There is no reason why any guard should ever have to put themselves in danger. These aren't people, these are violent animals, and the guards should be protected. They aren't the ones being punished for what is likely a severe wrongdoing. Restraints, solitary, whatever it takes, I don't feel one tiny twinge of sadness. And lawsuits? Don't even get me started on that one! +The artical is he US closed its education gender gap in 2016. This means there is a large pool of educated female talent, even though fewer women are actually working, as can be seen in the table showing the United States' scores below. The annual report looks at progress towards equality between men and women in four key areas: educational attainment, health and survival, economic opportunity, and political empowerment. +The human rights groups are right. It is brutal. I'm glad we don't punish people like that in our country, but I also feel like this guy in question deserves it. The problem is that punishments like that end up being applied to people who don't deserve it too. In this particular case, I don't feel bad for the guy at all. He's a monster. +The Girl with the beautiful green eyes that was pictured years ago by a photographer is currently under arrest for falsifying documents to stay in pakistan. I feel bad for this woman who felt a need to lie about her status of citizenship to stay in a country just to continue living a better life. This is the second time she has been arrested which shows me that she is really trying to escape a war ravaged country and to continue on living a better life. They should let the girl go. Good for the original photographer who is trying to help her out of this situation. +it is really diheartening to read about these immigrants from this article who drowned. it makes me feel anxious and upset how the whole ordeal happened. it is a terrible occurrence that this had to happen at the mediterranean sea. thankfully there were some survivors. the fact that babies were lost makes it that much more emotional to read all of this +I just can't imagine how you would go from having a good day snorkeling with your loved one and be dead the next just how that would happen? Then not to mention your spouse dies right alongside you in the same mystical way, it just seems like there is more to it then that. It would seem like something had to of happened. +This was an interesting article. I am a supporter of capital punishment, yet I find lethal injection to be absolutely ridiculous. It costs an insane amount of money just to execute somebody with this method, when a few bullets for less than a couple dollars would do the job just as well if not better. +Whenever kids are involved in a nasty breakup there are never any winners. The person who gets the short end of the stick in this case will probably be the child who will be forced to split time and maybe even countries between the two parents. People should try and consider the child's feelings before using them as pawns in a custody fight. +I read an article that linked sleep disorders and strokes. It said that if a person has a sleep disorder, they are less likely to recover from a stroke. The article said that sleep disorder were a very serious problems, and many people are affected. I felt upset, because I have had insomnia so long, and it may be making it more likely for me to have serious health issues in the future. +So remember the Flint MI water problem from years back? The one where the idiots decided to use their own water supply from a dam which leaked led. Well apparently now the government is flipping out that its a nationwide problem. Or should I say the "scientists" are flipping out since we have never heard of lead in the water anywhere outside of the Flint MI disaster +I just read an article about Trump protesters that had fireworks shot at them. This story breaks my heart. Some of the protestors also were spit on and endured racial slurs. I do not understand how a group could commit such a mean act of violence. The group that shot the fireworks were never caught, which makes this story even worse. People should be able to express their views in safety. +So I feel birth is birth. What difference does it make it you gave it vaginal or c-section. So people can be so evil in this world. You were pregnant and carried that baby in your belly for 8 to 9 months. Some ladies are faced with a life or death even choice. We have to do what is right for our babies but mostly for ourselves. I know you think wow selfish much, No this i why. If you are not here you can not raise and happy healthy family. Next if you are not your best or at 100% you really can not give your all. +I have nothing against immigration, so long as it's done legally. I have nothing against illegal immigrants either and often feel there should be pathways to citizenship so long as the illegal immigrant commits no wrongdoings and contributes to the success of the economy of the place they are staying in. The problem with Calais in France is that quite often, terrorists disguised as immigrants make their way in through this area and then commit acts of terror which harm French citizens. French people want to help those that have been displaced in the Middle East, but Calais is a mess. +The article was quite eye opening for someone who may not be extremely into politics. The confederate flag seems to somehow have different meanings to different people, which I never really understood. To get upset because the flag was being hung in college campuses, makes sense to me. I would get upset as well. For students to be afraid for their welfare and or they education at their college because of President elect Trump, also makes sense to me. The whole campaign seems to be one big controversy. +I don't know who this celebrity is, but isn't this crazy? Of course it'd happen in Florida! We always hear these "Florida man" stories, and here's another one. What are people thinking, anyway? What was this guy hoping to do? Pretty weird world we live in nowadays. I'd never want to live down there with all the crazy stuff that goes on! +I don't really feel much of anything at all reading this, I think celebrity deaths are so common in the news that it is really difficult to conjure up any emotion about them. I guess I feel mild interest? I learned a few facts about the singer of a song I have heard fairly often over the years, so it is interesting to have new information, which always feels rewarding in a way. I guess I should feel sad but I just don't think it's possible for me to feel sadness every time I read about someone being dead. It makes me feel a bit tired I suppose. +This sounds like a murder-suicide situation. That's what it always is when you hear there is no danger to the public. How awful that people choose to do this to each other and how awful that some poor kid had to be a witness to it all. That child will never be the same again. I wonder why people who choose to do something like this can't just kill themselves and leave everyone around them alone. It's sick. +So many priests murdered in Mexico in the last 10 years. I don't know that I would have the courage to protest anything if my land was controlled by drug cartels, who surely do not care about anyone else other than themselves. It takes courage to be an activist, but I think I could do more good by staying alive and picking my fights wisely. +Felt bad reading the article because tons of people are losing basically their lives. The wild fires are destroying their farm, things, and even their animals. Without all of those things they cant have a proper living through buying and selling crops or animals. I hope we can donate to an organization nor something to help them +Hey, I wanted to share this article with you that I just found. It is about the issue with junk food ads and targeting kids. We were talking about this the other day. Well apparently it will not be ending any time soon. It is a billion dollar industry and there is very little anyone can do about it. There are organizations out there that is trying to prevent this and fight against childhood obesity. The WHO organization is blaming video bloggers/vloggers who get paychecks from junk food companies. They are claiming that they are more powerful than ads. I'm not sure I believe that but it could be possible, you think? +Wow, this is tragic. I really hope that China will improve their safety standards, but I know this is a big problem all over in developing countries. Remember when that factory burned down in Bangladesh? And we can't pretend this isn't our problem too, when we support them economically. If we buy products created in unsafe working conditions, we have a hand in those deaths too. +I feel like a similar scenario happens at least once a year in Hollywood. When I hear about stories that happen in Hollywood, the lifestyles are so different than mine that it's almost like it's not real, like it's a movie. People in Hollywood always have something to complain about so it's hard to feel sympathy for them, even when something like this happens. +Hey check this out, you are a big Leonard Cohen fan right? This is sad, but this is life. I often think about the deaths of old people, should we be sad? should we celebrate their life? What is the appropriate emotion to experience at this point. I know I was sad when my two grand fathers died, but that is personal. +I think that these types of tragic accidents are far and few. I might be wrong, though I don't hear of too many of them. I think that they may need to reevaluate some of their maintenance techniques to try and make this even more uncommon. It must of really devastated the family and friends of those who lost their lives. +This is really ridiculous. A lawyer with a history of being a nut job went crazy at the mall in Houston Texas and shot nine people, and one of them was injured critically. And all this just because of some issues he was having where he worked, like it is so hard for a lawyer to just move on to another firm instead of going crazy and shooting up innocent people. +Wow, I just read an article describing the problems Venezuela is having with its new leader. About 80% of the people are dissatisfied with his leadership and want him out. But there isn't a smooth process put into place for that. Even the Vatican is trying to assist, but to no avail so far. I can't help but think of all the problems the US has lately, but we do have a constitution and a system for change. I am not sure how Venezuela will fix things peacefully, and how its citizens will fare through all this. The article made comparisons with Cuba, and previous leadership, but I did not fine a clear solution. +So they are trying to expand a runway at Heathrow airport in London which will destroy over 700 peoples homes. This is just crazy to me and I hope that it never actually happens and that the people who live there can fight it. It just seems to me that this is just another case of government over reach. These politicians are probably going to benefit financially somehow from this deal . It is the only explanation that makes any sense to me. Why else would you destroy a whole community? +I just read the article on the oil spill. Even though I do agree with oil digging, when things go wrong, it does have severe consequences. I feel mostly bad for the birds and sea life, which will obviously be affected. You would think with all the money these oil companies profit from, they would take more safety precautions, in trying to avoid accidents from happening. I know the industry creates a lot of jobs and most often, nothing goes wrong. But when it does, it can be catastrophic for the wildlife in the area and those that live in the area. Or even those areas that rely on tourism, if people can’t go into the oceans or there is oil spilling onto their beaches. Not sure what the answer is, or if there even is an answer to it. It just makes me sad to see those beautiful birds +It sounds like she wasn't cut out to be a cop. The way I see it, it was obvious that the guy was decompensating in some way, but he didn't display anything that indicated he was violent - that had to all be in her head. Yes, when the cops order you to do something, it's probably better to comply, especially if they have draw weapons including tasers. No one disputes that his hands were up, and the other officer assessed the situation to require a taser, not a gun, and apparently, this scenario goes against training, so the problem was in the officer, not the victim. People wonder why the police aren't trusted, and this is it. They're human too, and they make mistakes, but their mistakes kill people unjustly. I feel bad for the family of the victim and I hope they see justice done. +President Donald Trumps actions during his election and so far during the presidency has been nothing short of childish. I don't think he has any idea of what a filter is, and I don't think he cares what anyone thinks about him. Him winning the president election was probable one of the worst things that could have happened to our country at this time and moment, but things could be worse. Like the previous article, we could be comparing President Trump to Hitler, which in my opinion is absolutely terrible. +There was a terrible bus crash near the town where I grew up. It looks like a black sedan hit the bus and people were hurt. Apparently the injured people were taken to a nearby hospital where I used to work. No word was released on the condition of the individuals but I sure hope it was no one we know or that no one is seriously hurt. Please say a prayer for all involved and be grateful that no lives were lost. +What do you think about Guantanamo Bay? Should they shut it down or continue to use it for interrogating supposed terrorist. I do have sympathy for some of the prisoners who may not particularly be terrorist. From an article I read some of these prisoners or most of them are mentally ill. One thing I learned from this article I read is that some of the psychologists may be assisting with torturing the prisoners. Some believe that some of these physicians and psychiatrist should bear the brunt of the blame for torture at Guantanamo Bay. +I'm so sad to hear about this, it just drives me crazy. I wish that we would just do something once and for all to help save these people from such suffering. I guess in the mean time all that I can do personally is just pray for the people though and hope that soon things will get better, somehow. Doesn't this just make you so mad? +Having traveled through Afghanistan in the mid-1970s and having had a son deployed in Afghanistan during the US incursion, I can tell you that the country is profoundly backward and disorganized even at the best of times. This influx of refugees will cause chaos on a massive scale. The USA should help. If we are willing to invade and contribute to the destabilization of the country in our own interests, we should also be willing to come in as a magnanimous gesture and help out these poor people in the time of their need. +What this also taught me is that I think poverty teaches you to value anything and everything you have .. importance of friends , importance of one time meal, importance of tiniest thing in your life .. It teaches you to survive on bare minimum. Poverty teaches gratitude. Some of the most happy people in the world are those people who have the least. When you aren't flooded with tons of material goods you can focus more on the simple things that you do have. Look at Brazil the have to struggle to eat but it's what keeps them humble. +I feel so sad for the world. The world needs a revolution and good people in charge of the countries. Bad people need to disappear from this world, we need specials force to deal with injustice from this world. A lot of people is in pain because of different beliefs, race, culture and bad presidents. People around the world should have the same opportunities to be happy and have a fair life. I would like to help every injustice in the world. Big countries in the would should help all the people that are suffering because of injustice. I can see a lot of pain around the world and I just can say that a lot of people with resources are extremely selfish. We need powerful people dealing with this kind of situations. On the other hand, people should make disappear ISIS from the map ASAP. +As a woman myself, I really sympathize with these women. While I find it very difficult to imagine what they go through as a woman, I can get some vague idea. I would hate to think that I had to have a male escort when I left my home. They aren't treated as equals, and often men don't even consider them equal as their family pet! <Many of the women can be abused, physically and sexually, and they are considered to be the problem, not the abuser! I hope they are able to win by the petition, and will be able to have a bit more freedom! +Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous and strong illnes. It is scary to think that someone might be carrying that kind of desease just because of them having a hard time letting go of smoking. Also, thinking that even the non-smoking people can get sick and worst they can even have cancer too. Just thinking how things worked regarding cancer is traumatising me. +Lydia Jones, a spokeswoman for BAFTA Cymru, said Friday that the organization had been told there would be no further details on Mr. Jones’s condition. Primary progressive aphasia is a rare nervous system syndrome that affects a person’s ability to express his or her thoughts and understanding, or to find words, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms begin gradually, often before age 65, and worsen over time. The news of the diagnosis was also reported by the BBC and Britain’sNational Press Association. The announcement of Mr. Jones’s illness dominated Monty Python fan siteson Friday, where it was described as “sad” and “terrible” news. Eric Idle, a co-founder of the ribald, outrageous and internationally acclaimed British troupe, tweeted thanks to fans for their support while noting Mr. +I really feel bad for Turkey. I think they are trying to do everything they can to get rid of terrorism in the country. It seems that their efforts are for naught. They want to keep the people safe and yet more terrorist groups keep popping up. Then the lawmakers are involved and there is only so much you can do. Turkey is constantly at war. I'm wondering if this will end up with the US trying to do something over there or bringing that trouble here. It is upsetting really to hear about all this going on in the world when people just want peace. There is always terrorism and someone trying to bring down a country, but the country tries its hardest to fight back despite opposition. +The person in the article was participating in a fund raising event and the event was about getting pies thrown into the faces by people. I guess that things got a little bit rough because the guy that was getting the pie in the face got injured somehow. It was pretty bad and he had to seek out the medical help for the injuries to his face. +I just read an article about a mother and father that sexually abused their daughter from the age of 11. It is just disgusting. I can't imagine how in the world someone would be okay doing this to their child. Those parents deserve a fate worse than death. What is WRONG with people? They deserved to be tortured until the day they die. So disgusting. +These poor people! It seems like they really can't catch a break. Like it isn't bad enough that they are already trying to dig themselves out of their tough economic situation and losing their homes, but now they also have to worry about a population decrease. It's pretty clear that we need more aid and more help for these people in the area. +I am very concerned about our staple crops that we use to survive off of. The climate change is likely going to kill off our crops. We are already seeing signs, and it doesn't look good. The University in Arizona is already seeing this, and no one is listening. Only a few news channels are spreading the news. This is going to affect those non technological countries first, which is a shame since none of this is their fault. +I heard almost 80 people died from an explosion. It was caused by lightening or something. Crazy huh? I hope nothing like that every happens here during a fuel crisis. Over 100 were injured. So sad. I wonder what all those people who survived are going to do. Maybe the red cross will set up something. How can I find out? +HOpefully this fighting ends soon its getting to be too much the negative impact is getting bigger and bigger. If things dont stop before long then the fighting wont be in that area itll spread even wider as all the larger countries get involved and the fighting just wont stop. maybe we should start a petition or something to get some attention on this issue +We definitely need to make sure we step up our efforts to vet who we let in this country, especially as far as refugees go. Just like you wouldn't leave your door open and invite intruders, we should not let refugees into our country without vetting them. We don't know if they're part of ISIS or not. It may seem like racial profiling, but only Middle Easterners belong to ISIS, so it is appropriate in this case. +I feel bad for that baby. The way it sounds, especially with the bottle of milk being in there, it sounds like someone had the baby and couldn't keep it so they left it there. I wish people would use the fire station safe haven option. I thought it was interesting that they mentioned that a 14 year old heard the cries. I wonder if the 14 year old was the one who had the baby and had to hide it. +The driven into exile last year, and he is now based in the southern port city of Aden. Saudi Arabia’s Sunni Muslim monarchy entered the war in large part because of concerns of Iranian influence in the region. That Shiite theocracy is widely perceived to be backing the Shiite rebels. The airstrikes in come on the same day i rejected a new U.N. peace proposal that would have sidelined him and given the prominent roles in a new government. More than 10,000 people have died in the conflict, many of them civilians who were killed by Saudi-led coalition bombings, according to the United Nations. that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friendS. +I am torn when it comes to this one. I feel bad because that is a horrible way to die and his sister definitely did not need to see that. But I also do not understand why they would be so careless and wander off on a trail where it is clearly marked that they shouldnt be leaving. If they would have paid more attention and didnt carelessly not listen to rules than this situation could have been avoided. +Wow… Yet another angle from which to look at climate change. And of course, it’s threatening and not pretty. But it’s also really interesting to see how all the stakeholders in a big industry like coffee are aware of climate change and its dangers, have been for a while, and are actively working at trying to minimize its impact on their business. And yet, others have their heads firmly buried in the sand and pretend nothing’s happening. +I totally get this in a lot of ways. I used to roll my eyes at people who were frothing at the mouth over Obama being elected, and how they seemed to make grand statements of the world ending RIGHT NOW because a black man was in the white house. Now...I don't know. I see my friends and family freaking out and I want to tell them to just chill out. Obama didn't destroy America--the right wingers were wrong about that. Neither will Trump. Life will keep going. It brings a lot of stress listening to people freaking out all the time. And yet, I get it. I get why they are worried and freaking out. I don't like it either, but I don't get the point of stressing out so much. But then again, I've completely dissociated from all this. I don't really read the news anymore. +Hello Alexander, oh how I need to tell you this story I read, its crazy you know. Anyway so I read this story about Myanmarl; they are having a huge investigation about child slavery, its very sad we live in a world that is filled with monsters like this. The goods news about this is that the police arrested two family members. I feel good about that coming out. I hope they find more and put them into justice. +There has been a lot of fires that are happening in the south. Many people are being told that they have to wear special masks if they want to go outside because of the smoke from the fires. People are also investigating to see what really caused the fire many people are suspecting that it's arson that is causing a lot of these fires to happen. A lot of organizations are asking people to donate water and drinks for the firefighters to quench their thirst while fighting fires. It truly is a sad thing and hopefully this problem will be resolved sooner than later. +I'm at a loss for words when I think of all the senseless lives lost from gun violence. As a gun supporter maybe I should take a step back and ask myself the hard questions about guns and there impact and availability in today's society. I know that statistically more people die from other causes compared to gun violence, but are guns way to accessible in America compared to other countries? When the 2nd amendment was written could they imagine the way guns could have progressed or how they are being used today? Seeing so many mass shootings makes me feel that maybe it's time to change some of the gun laws and help make things like 40 children killed or injured a thing of the past. +That is really sad to hear. It's awful that cars can be so unsafe and sometimes people forget how easy it is to get into an accident if everyone isn't careful and observant. It said this happened at 6:30pm so I wonder if maybe the sun was shining right in someone's eyes because that has happened to me at sunset and I could barely see. It's difficult to pull over and stop in those conditions as well. +A gut feeling, or gut reaction, is a visceral emotional reaction to something. It may be negative, such as a feeling of uneasiness, or positive, such as a feeling of trust. Gut feelings are generally regarded as not modulated by conscious thought, but sometimes as a feature of intuition rather than rationality. +The eyes are a part of our body we definitely take for granted. At the same time, they are extremely important and truly open our vision to the world. It would be devastating for a young person to suffer an eye injury simply playing a sport. People should be extremely vigilant to prepare children to play such sports and avoid suffering any life altering injuries. +Is it too much to ask for a judge that follows the Constitution? Check this article out and see if you agree. Focusing on fringe issues is not going to unite us. I wish we could move past this and leave people's personal beliefs out of it and focus only on the law. that would be nice for a change, woudln't it? +I just read an article about the attacks in a syrian town. It sounds horrible what they are going through. It talks about women and children dying. I tried to immagine what it would be like to live in such horror. It mentions many post on social media of pictures and videos. I would be interested in seeing some of the pictures and videos of this violence. Reading stuff like this really makes you appreciate being in America. +I feel horrible that this is happening. It probably a lot to do with what America has done in that country. They are the ones who armed the rebels and caused this problem. America created the terrorists groups. I know I am not responsible but it makes me sick to know that intelligence agencies from our own countries instigated this problem. I feel sympathy for all those who have been killed and the families who's lives have been ruined. +It's a weird ironic twist that once illegal animals are seized they may fare worse than if the smugglers were allowed to get away with them. It brings out the selfishness of humans and their inability to share this wonderful world with its other inhabitants. These animals should be properly cared for, and perhaps some of the financing could come from fines imposed upon the people who illegally absconded with them in the first place. +I am not sure what to think of this article as I have probably a different opinion than most would. First of all why wouldn't she report this at the time it happened, instead of waiting years and years later to come forward? I get the whole he's a powerful person and nobody would believe her part, but who's really going to believe her years later and why would she come out with it now and not before? What change? Why is she willing to exploit this man years later but wasn't able to do it years before? +I was reading about a few people that were killed as a result of Typhoon Meranti. I think it's fortunate that not too many people were killed during this storm. It seems like people have generally gotten better about heeding warnings about these powerful storms. However, it seems like infrastructure damage is something that needs to be analyzed. +Oh, please. It is getting hot - climate change. It is getting cold - climate change. There is a fire - climate change. Forget that fact that the climate has changed since the begging of time, and that people throw cigarettes out the window all the time too. These chicken little articles are also amusing and upsetting at the same time. +In Iraq, Islamic State militants are kidnapping thousands of people at gunpoint to use as shields against the U.S. takeover as the militants move to their last stronghold of Mosul. This is something that complicates the U.S. airstrikes because it is not certain how many civilians might be injured or killed since they are being used as shields by the militants. As the militants are squeezed tighter and tighter together in their last stronghold, more and more villages are suffering, entire villages of people are being taken and used as these shields. It is a terrible situation and I cannot imagine the suffering as people are missing and lost forever from families and leaving many children as orphans. +It saddens me to think about a young rino passing away. I can not help but question the circumstances surrounding its death. My heart goes out to the person who worked hard to try to save its life and is grieving over the loss of that hard battle. As a wildlife rehabilitator I know the struggle all too well. I understand how it feels to forgo sleep and food because you are working to save an animal. It is painful. But if you can save even one, it will make it all worth it in the end. +A hurricane is about to hit Taiwan soon. It's supposed to be really big, the biggest since 1969. We just had some really awful hurricanes in the West too. The ones here were caused by global warming, so I wonder if China's are too? It's horrible that so many people will lose their homes or their lives just so rich executives can make a few bucks more. +Hey my BFF Joan, how have you been I read this interesting article and man I feel weird living in a country like I do now. All these issues and money being wasted for what? I really feel like we as people and a nation can do much better then this. I hope we can evolve to become better people in this world. +The real problem with people born with critical illness is that we try so hard to give them a normal life. However these people are not normal. And to force them into feeling normal while a nice sentiment, is hardly productive. Instead we should focus on how these people can live differently than trying to merge them into general society. Society it's self is a disgusting community of work till you die. No matter what it is you chose to do. Take Autism for example, we try so hard to normalize them. However with my experience these people are brilliant in their own ways that we can't understand. They see things in an alien like manor of ultra basic instinct. This instinct should have it's own way of flourishing instead of bowing down to the rest of us. +The story that was told in the article that I read was I thought was pretty sad considering it highlighted a better time in life where things were not so violent in the world. There are so many acts of terror these days that it is hard to keep track of and the incident described feels the same way. Unfortunately there are so many bad people in this world that feel like they should be able to do all these bad things to other people because of some message they are trying to spread but really just causing a lot of pain for everyone. +I just read an article about someone jumping a fence and into someone's yard before stabbing several of the homeowners security guards. Just reminds me of how decrepit society has become. It's as if we've lost all touch with morality and compassion towards one another and such crimes are a grim reminder of the reality. +I think lung cancer is not really caused too highly by air pollution. I feel that the number one pollutants that cause lung cancer is purely smoking. Im glad I quit smoking years ago. They say these scientific reports and studies provide that the air pollution caused early stage lung cancers, however I really just don't believe it. +More trouble at the North Dakota pipeline protests! They have brought in riot police who are trying to break up the protestors. It looks like they are using rubber bullets and arresting a lot of people. It is scary that we can not peacefully protest in this country without fear of injury or arrest. I hope everyone is okay. +These home grown terrorists are becoming more and more of a problem. How do we monitor better people who are already in this country? Stopping immigration is not going to solve this problem. It is the people right here in our own country who are killing each other. That problem has to be solved!!! How do we keep tabs on people and catch them before they kill their fellow citizens? +showing just how amazing females have been doing especially in sports.It makes you wonder just how hard they have been working and becoming role models for young girls.That they would do whatever it took to become something and people like rounda rousey and how much she achieved just shows what it means to be a champion. +Did you hear about the horrible earthquake in New Zealand? IT was devastating and I am so heartbroken and sad for all of those people.It's going to be difficult to get aid to some places because the roads are severely damaged. Those people must be so terrified and worried. I'm sure they're hungry and in serious need of water and food and many are in need of shelter. I pray that God gives them all peace and comfort during this time. +ISIS is a group of deeply mentally ill serial killers. I simply don't see them the way I see Al-Aqaeda. Now, Al-Aqaeda is also a group of mentally ill people and they're also disgusting but they're damn serious in their mission. ISIS feels like a group of guys who kill just for fun. I agree with Obama on ISIS being a jv team. I can't help but feel terrible for those who have to witness the bodies all over Mosul. What a horrible sight that must be. Can people heal once they see that? Do those people have any hope or any way to continue after they witness such atrocities? What about the children? I feel so bad for them. It's so crazy. I wish they would wipe out the Middle East and just start over. Enough with the political correct bullshit. Enough with the religious bullshit. +I read an article about a man who was caught smashing Donald Trump's star in Hollywood. He had a sledgehammer and was smashing it. I thought it sounded pretty funny. The article described some of the ways people are protesting, from covering the star with graffiti, to putting a Bernie Sanders sticker on it, to putting a barbed wire fence around it. I don't like that he even has a star, and I think if I were to go to Hollywood, I'd like to do something like this as well. +this article was very interesting because it talks on how climate change can have influenced the extinction of the melomys in theyre habitat. it talks alot about it and basically lets us know that climate change wasnt the cause of extinction and that us, humans could have prevented this from happenning but just decided not to. +People in America are going to have it worse despite all the federal “inequality spending” done during the Obama administration. The article says that Trump and the congress are going to undo what Obama started. The article says that they are also trying to undo Obama care and that’s part of it. I know Obamacare made me poorer by about $600 a month and I’m not rich! It goes on about SS and how evil tax cuts are. I don’t know what to think about this since the news these days are often fiction. It seems to contradict itself by saying unemployment rates have dropped. With more people working isn’t there more tax revenue? Confused but I feel for the poor... +Remember that story that I told you about my neighbor Paul from my old neighborhood and how he had served in IRAQ and had come home and had PTSD? I found this article that explains it pretty good and think you might be interested in reading it to deal with the new coworker that you have that has similar issues. +It's so insane that people today, specifically white people, find the need to continue to discriminate against a group of people that they have already tormented for hundreds of years. There is something I call "little man syndrome" mostly referring to when short men feel the need to overcompensate for their height by being very aggressive and loud. The white people that commit these kinds of crimes suffer from a severe case of little man syndrome. +Check out this article. I wonder someday when all of these theoretic articles will change how things are done? Should we be doing massive changes in the way our government works, the way people are allowed to function? the products we are able to buy and the activities we are allowed to partake in? Will private jets disappear? +Did you see this sad story? This holocaust survivor has died. She lived a fruitful life recreating a town and now she is dead. Do you ever think of how sad life can be. This person survived the awful genocidal regime of Hitler. Why do human beings seek to contribute so much pain to one another. It is a sad and horrible way of being. +This is definitely an upsetting thing that has happened. We like to think that when we go to a theme park, all the rides are completely safe and maintained well. But there is always a risk, however small, that something tragic could happen. Even in a safe environment like a well-maintained park, we need to keep up our guard and use good judgment. +I can't believe that this place was ever given a license to carry out their business in the first place. These poor dogs died a slow painful death because the owners of this kennel were so careless. Did they not see the dogs suffering? How would they like to be locked up in a room in those temps? Make sure you are taking your pets to a reputable kennel if you do need to board them - I would have to see something like this happen to anyone else!! +Michael Buble's three year old son has cancer. This is so horrible and sad. I can't imagine what they are feeling right now. My uncle died of prostate cancer and I know nothing will ever be the same. Cancer on such a young boy seems so cruel if there is a God out there. I am really hoping their son pulls through and they keep on fighting together as a family. +I find that it is of a truth, and am writing to you regarding this situation that is erupting in Yemen, that after the peace talks collapsed security and safety for citizens in these areas has greatly decreased. I find that how America feels about it, and others around the world, is more correct, than in error. Whereby they are appalled by all the violence and blood shed. I feel personally that each party should consider the welfare of the people at large, than any self-aggrandizements, and personal power plays. It they can become more self-less, and less selfish, they will make decisions that are in the best interest and safety of the people of Yemen, aside and apart of whatever their political idealogies may be, when they are saving lives, and not just garnering votes, or political power +I have think is very good article and nice.he has promised the to be the most vigilant interrogator of the Obama administration from his perch on an oversight committee, which republican cheered. this sentence i am very like. Numerous ballot initiatives focused on progressive caused could also give republican few reasons to turn out. The reason must important for the areas. +Did you finally see what happened to that sicko that stole all of those nude photos from those celebrities? Those poor people got tricked into getting their photos stolen and this man went and was showing them to everyone. He finally was convicted of this and it serves him right. What an idiot. Just remember you don't ever take any photos like this and never upload them even if you did. Keep this stuff private and off of the internet. I sure am glad this guy finally got what was coming to him. +Well that sucks for this people in the south. It seems like there's always something that's messing with the gas prices. Hopefully they'll get it repaired soon though and things will go back to normal. At least there wasn't severe environmental damage, that's a good thing. If I were down there, I would probably just ride a bike for a few weeks. +Reading an article that is basically on the fear and risk of the Zika Virus and how it is currently an issue. It doesn't affect my fellings at all. It is clearly and issue but they'll make a vaccine for those who don't become immune by way of their own system, then the virus will become resistant to the vaccinations and it will be a never ending up and down cycle that we see all the time. I simply just can't let something like this, despite the risk, affect my feelings and emotions. +It's weird how I don't really feel sorry for these people. Timeshares just seem like a terrible idea and I've always associated it with conspicuous consumption. Really...just rent a hotel room when you can go. Buying into a house with other people sounds like a total hassle and a problem waiting to happen. But I can't stand how grimy the companies are and how they jerk people around. It just shows that the whole timeshare concept is about digging into people's pockets. And the only way to get them to stop doing that is to put them out of business if they don't want to play fair. +What I learned from this story is that this world is really fucked up. Imagine forceful sex at an age when your organs are not developed and when you have complete faith in everyone around you results in both physical and mental trauma. You think that any person who is around you and is trying to act sweet with you will end up being a molester. That is why a victim behaves like that. It's vile man. +I feel like entraprenerurship is the future. Apparently they are making it so you can quit your job and get unemployment benefits. It's pretty awesome. I guess they want to encourage people to start unique businesses on their own in an effort to diversify the workfroce in the country. Pretty cool if you ask me. +This doesn't sound too worrisome to me. If you are affected by depression, then you should decide as an individual to find another option. It's just a side effect, I think there are many medicines out there that have depression as a side effect. It is something that individuals should be aware of, but nothing critical. +Although I do think that companies have the right to advertise their product willingly, I also think that targeting kids is wrong. I think that good health should come first and the advertisement should condone this. Advertisements should not target kids, given that they don't really know what is good for them yet. +These poor people in Syria. On the lookout all the time, every time you hear a bang or a noise they must shake. This is so bad these poor people were just going to school. The place you should feel safe. Your trying to make yourself better to learn something. If Russia targeted this school then I hope they get what they deserve. They should think about their families when carrying out an attack such as this. +JUst when you think things couldn't get much worse! I just can't imagine who in the world would kill, then mutilate a baby horse! It pretty much sounds like someone with a mental health issue is running around crazy with a gun. It is nice to know so many nonprofits are not only engaged in finding this criminal, but also to prevent this from happening again, I think the adult horses were in better shape and that's why they survived. What kind of lazy loon would mutilate the little horse's genitals? +Just found this article; not surprised by this at all. I can't believe there are truly female trump voters but I'm not surprised; racism is something they all bind together with. She really should just leave the party if she actually has any sense. Feel free to share this with someone else as well if you want. +I am not over there, so I don't fully know what's going on. I do know that we should be helping these poor people out of the water and not letting them die from exhaustion or whatever else is causing their death, especially not 2 month old babies. this is just appalling that countries cannot come to aid these people. Yes, they know the risk involved, but because of other countries bombing their land out they are trying to find a better and safer situation for themselves and for their families. I don't blame them trying to better themselves from the war-torn countries that they come from. I have sympathy for all of these people. +How horrible what happened on that cruise ship. I can't believe the crew members were allowed to blatantly be homophobic to the patrons like that. They should be sued! I'm glad this came to light. I hope people do not patronize that business again knowing their true colors. It should not have taken a death for them to come around. +A nineteen-year-old college student from Texas A&M ran into a police car while she was taking a topless photo of herself which she was sending to her boyfriend. The police said she also had an open bottle of wine her the cup holder of her car. She told the police she was taking a photo to send to her boyfriend while she was stopped at a stop light. She was arrested on the suspicion of driving while intoxicated and then released on a $2,000 bond. The accident happened about 100 miles north of Houston, Texas. +What's going on in Venezuela is just tragic. The government has no concern for it's citizen's. These are just kids trying to get an education. They can't get a proper meal. Waiting in line doing anything to help their children. How can we let this go on. No one can be expected to learn or do anything productive if they can't even get the basic necessities +Hey can you believe the crazy weather we've been having during the past few summers? It's getting really ridiculous and out of hand. They temperatures have been crazy and the flooding is really messing with people's lives. We really should be paying more attention to it and need to come up with some solutions fast. +This always makes me mad guys, that the cops think they can shoot because of color. Its absolutely ridiculous! Of course, the cop isn't being charged for murder, and predijuce still stands in this country. It is extremely sad that the world has to come to this.. just killing off anybody because they think they're above the law. +Hey B, remember that conversation we had the other day, well I found an article that talks about it. It basically says that humans have destroyed 10 percent of Earth's wilderness in the last 25 years. The article said that the total land area is about half the size of the Amazon and twice the size of the whole state of Alaska. That is about 1.3 million square miles of wilderness, that just disappeared. The article also revealed that humanity has one to two decades more to turn it around before it is too late. I hope something is done soon and I'll send you a link to the article. +it seems a horny male college student has finally taken up the courage not to pursue love, but to rape his potential lover, what a disgusting act and moral corruption, the amount of emotional trauma done to the female victim is permanent and she would never feel safe again, I hope he gets to sentence to jail long enough he thought through +I really hate ISIS. They continue to be the stain on society by committing atrocities condemned by every nation in the world. They must be stopped at all costs and they must be destroyed so that they wont hurt another soul. These poor people who are trying to survive get killed, imprisoned, or brainwashed into joining and there seems to be no way to stop them. +This is such a sad story. I blame the owner of the dog. She should not have had her dog off leash. A big dog like that can really scare someone. Not everyone is a dog lover like we are. Poor Macie had to feel the pain because her owner wasn't doing the right thing. Perhaps the fine for having dogs off leash will result in people not taking their dogs off leash when they walk. Take them to a dog park and let them run. +This story about the shooting at the airport is absolutely breaking my heart. There is no reason for these violent gun actions to continue to go on. Can you imagine if this had been our dad or other friend or family member? I can not imagine what the victims family is going through right now. The poor people in the airport must have been in a frenzy. It had to have been scary to not know what was going on. Especially before everyone knew the gunman was dead. This one cowards acts caused so much turmoil and upheaval for so many people. Can you imagine all of the money that was wasted because of his stupid choices. Between flights being cancelled, rearranged, police officers time. I wish we could understand what he was thinking and why he did this mess. +Reading about the issue of racism in this country brings to many various thoughts. The first of these being, truly, we cannot legislate thought itself. Either we champion free speech for those we find abhorrent, or we stop pretending to care about liberty. People will always suck. At a certain point, it seems we as a society have gotten a lot softer, even as life has become more comfortable. Racists are morons. Do I walk around stressed all day about racists? Hell no. +I never knew there was a link between depression and birth control pills. I thought it would do the opposite because it allows women to have a full sex like without worrying about pregnancy, so they and their partners can feel more relaxed and open to exploring their sexuality. But now that i read the article I can see the link between hormone fluctuations and mood disorders since the two effect each other. +Dear friend, I have just read a horrific story coming out of Hong Kong. This man, a wealthy Hong Kong banker, murdered two young women in his apartment in a gruesome and sadistic fashion. He tortured them repeatedly inside of his luxurious downtown apartment near Hong Kong's red light district. He planned to torture them with tools and sex toys but had to cut it short when one of the women started screaming loudly in his apartment. He slit her throat and stuffed her body into a suitcase. +It's really amazing to me how much food we waste as a country considering how overweight and obese people are. I can't believe how wasteful it all is, if you think about it. A lot of the food we eat, we don't need, and then we throw away so much too! All that food belongs with people who really need it. I wish people would donate more and that restaurants could donate their unused food to homeless shelters. +It's sad these days how often police are being attacked for just being police. Mental health is such a problem, we need to find better ways to help people so they don't get to the point of harming others. Whenever I hear about an officer being hurt I think of your husband. We are very lucky men like him are choosing to spend their lives to protect us. I hope we can get help to more people so I can stop worrying if there is someone out there waiting for him. +Check out this news article. It's absolutely infuriating that this sort of thing would happen YET again, not only from a big oil and gas company, but specifically from BP again. Their ineffable ineptitude constantly leads to environmental disasters and someone has to put a stop to their BS before we let them completely destroy our habitat here on Earth. +This is troubling as it is unusual to have two people die of this cause at the same time. This seems suspicious as well. I hope the authorities can find some answers so this tragedy is not repeated. I hope the family can eventually find some peace and get the information they need for closure on their loss. +The article i read about the Venezuela zoo where the animals starving due to food shortage. the country economical condition go down and rise the prices of food. The country can't manage to import food due to bad economical siyuation. Animals on the Caricuao Zoo staffers have been feeding carnivorous lions and tigers diets of mango and pumpkin. Elephant eats tropical food instead of hey. +there are many red quireels in great britain and are causing leprosy arounf the city a girlo who was near the age found in squirrel these have been in scotland and great britian and even in some cases also in but not ecluding them at all - russia. this is a plagment and a serious incident as you can read many peolpe should be concered about this and might turn a bline eye to it but something should be done about this and people should try to find a cure of some sort for this +You know I'm not a fan of religion in any context, but this type of thing happens everywhere. There's always some idiot who goes off and uses religion, bigotry, sex, gender, anything really as an explanation. It's sad that you read something like this and it doesn't even feel like news. Perhaps its just our access that's making this seem ordinary. +Hey look at what I have been reading into. I want your opinions on this matter at hand. So civilian casualties are starting to rise as Iraqi forces push into Mosul. The vehicles screeched into the small field hospital on the outskirts of Mosul carrying desperate loads: soldiers injured in battle as well as men, women and children caught in the crossfire of Iraq’s war against the Islamic State. Now you know me. I would be in terrible trouble this is not a way of life. Why are were even in war. Why harm our children. This has saddened me to no end. We do not need, want or find any peace in war! +Food, water fears remain year after Brazil mine dam disaster — COLATINA, Brazil — One year after a dam ruptured and sent a giant wave of metal-laden mud gushing into one of Brazil’s most important rivers, people who live along the banks won’t drink the water and fishermen are afraid to eat their catch. Upward of 10 billion gallons of mud filled with mining waste buried towns in the Nov. 5 dam break that has been described as the worst environmental disaster in Latin America’s largest country. Nineteen people perished. Across 5,000 acres — about six times the size of New York City’s Central Park — the onslaught of mud crushed thousands of trees and wildlife. In the river, more than 14 tons of fish died, mostly after mud got stuck in their gills. An equally large amount of aquatic plants die +Wow that dude has a lot of money! More power to him, that's awesome. That guy has worked hard his whole life and built an amazing career and he's unstoppable in the wrong. So yeah what do you guys think? Do you agree that he deserves what he's got? Do you think he really refused to pay for the necklace? or do you think it's just fake news someone made up? +There are many types of virus spreading through our population today. More recently the Zika virus has found new ways of spreading from person to person. It has also found new host an carriers. This new problem is very concerning especially for people young and old. It also seems like pregnant woman are very susceptible to this virus as well. +In this Food, water fears remain year after Brazil mine dam disaster — COLATINA, Brazil — One year after a dam ruptured and sent a giant wave of metal-laden mud gushing into one of Brazil’s most important rivers, people who live along the banks won’t drink the water and fishermen are afraid to eat their catch.

Thankfully, they didn't have injured people, just frightened ones. As bad as the situation is, it could have been worse. While people have no homes, they have their lives and the lives of their loved ones. It is terrible these people don't have a particularly safe place to stay right now, and the thought of losing everything you own is catastrophic. But, you can rebuild your life with your family. +It's a shame that air pollution has potentially been linked to increased mental damage with young children. We often don't take into account all the damage that the fossil fuel companies have done to our society. We only praise them for creating the fuels we use but never tax them appropriately for all the damage that they cause us. +I believe protecting nature is extremely important. Whether it is climate change or restricting grazing, we must make a commitment to insuring that our lands are preserved for future generations. People can enjoy the outside and enjoying the outside is especially important for a generation that has often been labelled as couch potatoes. Such lands should be well preserved for them. +Hello friends, I will take part in this group to tell you some important news. They know that I always read and look for information. Some time ago it seems that a man died at sea after he fell off the cruiser where he was going. The person's name was Bernardo García Teixeira. Now his partner filed a lawsuit with the Royal Caribbean company. The people of the cruise and the police also allege that this couple was discussing a moment before the accident happened. +To be honest with you, In my opinion, I do not believe Russia or Syria are peaceful countries. Syria has the most corrupt and dishonest government officials in the world, and the fact that Russia has defended them through everything is very disturbing and alarming. I know we all like to think that Trump and Putin are in "bed" together, but is that really the case? What Syria does to its own people goes beyond what words can describe, and how Russia can defend these actions is almost as equally disgusting. +I cannot even be surprised by the level of insanity that is going on out there right now. I almost feel as though I am numb to it. I can no longer be moved by this madness because it is something that I can expect because of the mental illness that is prominent in our society. We can no longer feel safe that our protection is the priority today. +I am stressed about this article since gasoline is involved. Gasoline is a big thing not just for me, my family, my frienda but it is a big thing for everyone. It is always a bad news to know that something like this happened or happening because it will slow down the work we have to do. It destroys plans and budget of every individual. +The pipeline seems to be interfering with native american tribes and is causing lots of enviornmental damage. I do feel for these individuals, and it's important they get all the help they deserve. Their anscestors were decimated throughout history and there isnt enough reparations to solve the genocide that was caused. +It seems that a lawsuit is now pending for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Exessive grazing from the cattle has occured in this area and it seems to be threatening the wildlife in the area. Protective measures have been put in place over the years but there have no been serious consequences for parties that do not comply. +I feel that these Muslim areas are in dire need of help. I feel so very sad and alarmed for them, as I know the citizens are helpless and don't know who to turn to for help. It can't be easy to live in an area where you never know if you will wake up to your village being raided, your women being raped and worry of your child being dragged into Military or political rebels groups. Many people in America do not realize how much freedom, safety and peace we have by living in this country, as we have never experienced the peril that people in these Muslim countries experience. I'm sure many live in terror and fear of the unknown, of what could be, and actually the reality of their life. There are many poor villages and citizens, so they don't have options to find a way out of there. +I just read about a group of people that were celebrating Halloween and got hit by a car. It makes me wonder how people can be so irresponsible with children. They were riding on the back of a trailer when they got hit by another car. That is so unsafe. I wouldn't even want to do that with other adults, let alone children. +It looks like chaos in Iraq. The Islamic State (IS) has taken over Mosul and people are getting the hell out of there. The problem is, there is nowhere to go. There are a few camps for refugees but not nearly enough space. People are even taking there sheep which can’t be helpful… The IS has had people under their rule for almost 3 years and the people are making a run from it. No doubt they have every reason – the young women and girls feel veil-less freedom! The IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The were right to leave as the city is now a war zone with Iraqi security forces retaking the city. It is a bitter fight with the usual “blood will spill” messages rampant. Many families are leaving and there are some really heart-wrenching tales. SO SAD… Many are in fear. +I didn’t know that cocunuts are becoming in short supply. It was a very interesting article. I didn’t realize how many things are made with cocunut or that they have some kind of bank type of thing to keep the seeds. I find it so amazing to learn about things I knew nothing about. I love cocunuts and did buy some cocunut oil but haven’t used it yet. I heard that the oil was good for your skin and hair, although I haven’t tried it yet. Reading the article made me think about the show “Naked and Afraid” since the players are often in the jungle, trying to survivor and finding cocunuts on the trees. Or on the TV show Survivor, where they often eat and drink coconut juice. In honesty, I don’t know if I have ever eaten a cocunut even though I thought I did. I eat mangos, kiwi’s and oth +Global warming and fires and now being considered to be linked to one another. While being a resident of California, this to me is not surprising. Unfortunately we as a nation need to open our eyes up and realize the impact that we are having on our environment. Even worse is now we have a president who in his own words feel as though global warming is just a fabrication. This is going to cost us more money in the fire fighting department and we are going to see way worse side affects from this problem. +Micheal Moore was right about this. Trump could and did win. The more we dismissed him the stronger he got. I can't stand his attitude and his lack of compassion. But I can understand how he won. Voters were fed up with the traditional lifetime politicians. I think Hillary lost the election more than Trump won it. A lot of people didn't trust her and wanted a change. Now good or bad we have change. +It's always sad when you lose the legends no matter what. For one it makes you feel old but for two you lose any future of their work. It is also sad for the family who loses a loved one and is hard to imagine the responsibility of keeping up the name of the famous person they've loss. I mean how do you know what they would do with the rights of their music or if you should even use them anymore? +It's sad that there are still outbreaks of cholera and other diseases that are easily preventable with sanitation and access to clean drinking water. If we all pitch in just a couple dollars, the cost of buying a bottle of water, I bet we could make a significant contribution to the relief effort in Yemen. +A new study shows injected sperm birth or ICSI have shown long term studies of males born in this matter have lower sperm count. I feel they need a larger testing pool and they also need to understand the lifestyle of the men tested. Usually people that would need a special method to give birth are wealthy as well as unhealthy. Most likely thier offsprings have adapted to this similar lifestyle. +A lot of these news go unnoticed I feel. We have war in Syria and war everywhere. We have accepted it as a part of the world. It's such a shame that it's like this. Conflict has always broken us down and it's never been necessary. I don't know for how long this war has to continue. But I really feel sorry for all the lives that's been lost in this conflict. +It does seem a little disrespectful when someone starts to deface any public property. It is a disgrace and a lack of moral character when something like this happens. No one in their right mind would think of doing this could it could land you in jail for starters. Secondly, you could get sued and in today's litigious society you could go broke rather quick, even with a good lawyer. I guess that's why we have laws. Not only to protect the public, whether it be people or "spaces" because everyone is supposed to be allowed to enjoy the public domain. +It is with many tears, a heavy heart and very mixed emotions that I write that little Isibindi passed away shortly before midnight after a very, very rough 56 hours. She went through such deep sadness in her short life. I was so hoping and fighting to give her a second chance at life. A part of me feels a deep relief – the last two days were very difficult and she had so much to cope with. Little Bindi left this earth lying in my arms (the orphanage had no power so I wrapped us both in a duvet to keep her warm) It never gets easier. RIP little Bindi – may your spirit fly free! +This is disgusting. As many of you know, I am an animal lover. There is not much that makes me sad, upset and angry like any instance of an animal suffering. What this man did is unforgivable. I hope he has a mental illness. I cannot think of any other reason why someone would do something so cruel. +It is awful that there is such turmoil in the Middle East. It makes me so grateful that I am an American. Isn't it sad that Doctors Without Borders is at risk because of the fighting in the Middle East. Those people donate their time to help others and they have to worry if they are going to be hurt or killed. Such a sad area of the world. +I just read about some girls losing their parents. It was very bad. They went to a theme park to enjoy themselves and their parents were killed in front of them. It was a water ride, the kind that seats six at a time. Something mechanical happened on the ride. The maintenance check a few days prior was good, but something screwed up. There were four adults and two girls. The ride flipped over and trapped the adults. The little girls somehow escaped, but their parents were among the four dead. Apparently, the park workers didn't even notice it right away. One of the girls was by the ride exit by herself. The girls may need a lot of counseling for the rest of the lives. It was pretty bad. I would hate to see my family members die in front of me in a tragic accident like that. +This article was eye opening. I can't imagine having to wear masks as I do my normal, everyday activities or go outside. This is so weird. It's kind of disturbing, all of this. I think it's a very good thing for people to donate to the firefighters. Firefighters risk their lives to protect us, we can help them. +Hey, so I just read about this fire in Arizona. It was not super serious and no one besides one person needed to go to the hospital. It was not like super tragic but it just makes me think about my own life. It also makes me really think about my living situation. I have never thought about how I live in an apartment building shared with several other people and that their actions could have severe consequences. For example, say someone above me has a child who is playing with the stove and the parents are unaware. I fire could start and all of that is beyond my control. It really freaks me out now that I know someone besides just myself could ruin my home or personal belongings. Even worse, someone could lose their life. +So apparently there is an infamous retired nba star who is going around and pieing influential political figures haha. At first I thought it was a typo, and it was suppose to be die, but it indeed was talking about someone taking a coconut pie, and slamming it into the face of people. The act seems pretty innocent to me, and is almost sad that he is going to have to face some jail time along with the beating from the security. Obviously, you cant go around doing this, but it is tough not to laugh. +After reading that the amphibian population and specifically ranavirus might be caused by humans it makes me sad but I can understand the situation. We can often do things with unintended consequences that are not noticeable in the beginning. This appears to be the thought here that maybe we have caused these amphibians to become sick because of carrying the disease in or perhaps genetic mutations. Either way, it is a sad situation that will hopefully be able to be reversed before it is too late but these types of things happen in our society without specific intention. I feel for the little froggies though and hope science can find a way to preserve them and their habitat. +There is some killing in Indonesia most likely related to Muslims. Overall I'm not surprised by this news, the Islam religion holds many radicals and there are enough proof that the top leaders of these Islam groups support oppression. Just look at at all the hajibs in these muslim countries these are sad pathetic men that are afraid of women. +Hey, aren't you from the south? Have you had any issues with wildfires in your area? There's all this talk about forest fires and droughts in California, but this is the first time I've heard about stuff going down in your area. Everything okay down there? Make sure you stay safe! I know you don't go out much, but it doesn't take much to have a disaster to fall on your doorstep. +The officer whose car had been hit approached Ms Rader to find she had an "unclasped brassiere" and was trying to put on her blouse, police said.The freshman told the officer that she had been driving back to her residence on campus.The arresting officer wrote in an affidavit: "I asked her why she was not dressed while driving and she stated she was taking a Snapchat photo to send to her boyfriend while she was at a red light."She was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and released from jail on Thursday morning on a $2,000 (£1,600) bail bond, police said. +there has been talks on how this is an agenda that is being pushed right now, just like the massive shootings right now. people are just killing innocent people no matter what the color of theyre skin is although people aare always going to find a way to make it a racial matter or discuss how its biased or how the person was a racist but the only one who knows that is the person who commited the act. +Dear Friend, I just read a ridiculously vapid article about Kim Kardashian and her posting photos of her jewelry on instagram. She was nearly mugged last year and the article is explaining how its a bad idea for her to show off her expensive diamonds online. I think this story is silly and weightless and I dont really see how anyone could care about it. +That article was a steaming pile of nonsense. Storied about criminals emboldened to assault and kill cops by the media's sympathetic bias towards criminals is a regular occurrence these days. Black Lives Matter is a borderline terrorist organization who believes there should be no laws, or at the very least, that black people should be exempt from them. They're in favor of abolishing the police and penal system. What sane person riots over a criminal getting the inevitable ending that comes from leading a lawless and dangerous life? When I read about a white criminal getting killed in a confrontation with the police, I feel relief. My instinct is to say "good riddance" and not go out and loot a liquor store and burn down fast food restaurants. +I have never heard of sleep paralysis but it doesn't sound like a particularly dangerous disorder. We all undergo a state of unconsciousness during sleep where we dream and cannot control certain things in the dream. But this seems to be an extension of dreaming where your brain becomes out of synch with your body. I suspect this may something to do with stress and mental health problems +I am really touched by this story. the rescue just restored my faith in humanity.The success of the rescue operation proves that extraordinary things can be achieved with passion and determination. human conflict causes suffering to both human beings and animals. Suffering animals should not be forgotten or overlooked, even in the midst of human conflicts or natural or man-made disasters. I was very touched and encouraged by these acts of bravery and care towards animals. +I can't believe what's going on overseas. It's so tragic that people in the military are still dying in war, and for what? I thought they would be gone from there by now but they're not. And there's still issues with kidnappings and things of that nature. It's really quite shocking when you think about it. +hey . have u heard about the accident where a fuel tank exploded and around 75 people where burned to death and many more are injured . what a world we live in where people for some profit put their life in danger as well as other . this make me sick to my core . who going to take responsibility for all that life lost and uncomfortable +Dude, there is some pretty messed up stuff going on. I feel like every time I turn on the news or open a newspaper I am reading about pedophilia going on all over the world. I feel like it is much more common than anyone realizes and that at any given moment, I could be walking past someone who is sexually attracted to children. It is crazy to think about and really scary. +When I read this article, to be honest, I do not have any feeling because I am not a fan of all these artists. I do listen to pop songs, but I am not interested in this copyright issues. I would say that copy right is an important part for people to obey because it is a respect to the knowledge and author. +This man lived here almost his entire life. His infractions in which he was charged with are explainable. He literally was getting back his only true property from a more than troubled house. This also was a very long time ago. He has since built himself up a life with a family and now they are looking to deport him. this is a tragedy. We must do something about this! +I feel very sorry for their entire family regarding the divorce. Even though the daughters are now adults that doesn't mean they aren't negatively affected. Twenty-seven years is a long time to be married, and I think this translates to a long period of healing for the parents. Its not a good situation. I also wonder about the impact of the divorce on the daughters' image of the security of marriage for their own lives. It seems that the parents did try for a long time. I wish them well. +Non-human animals are given rights only because of their interactions with human beings. Without involvement with humans, animals do not deserve rights. It is through this interaction with humans that animals are even given moral consideration. As the outcome, animals are becoming even further tarred in society. Humans have and are continuing to handle animals as if they are some kind of material goods. This is considered as being immoral, as animals have their own lives, and they think, have feelings, can feel pain, require love, happiness, and everything else that humans have. As for human rights, it’s always uncertain. +The Native American have been through so much already to try to keep just a small part of the land that they called their own and slow but surely they continue to lose a battle against the USA government.It seems as though it is just a very period of time before the only place to find native Americans with be in the lying pages of our school books. +That poor boy must have just gotten curious and looked down, or perhaps he tripped and fell into it. I can't imagine the pain he must have gone through being stuck in there for days until he finally died. That must have been agonizing and terrible. How could the father not have found him by then? Surely he screamed? It's so sad. +our president party people are making something stupid on some occasions, you see ‘Silicon Valley’ stars recount being harassed by Donald Trump supporters. some one insulting Trump and making fight with them, its not necessary. unwanted fights and unwanted speech should be avoided. because all are having responsible position and work to do, At bar doing nasty things no good using some people name +I tend to be very hard-hearted when it comes to issues of immigration. Yet this is a man for who all intents and purposes is an American, raised here from the age of three and facing deportation for missed paperwork? This is quite frankly a steaming pile of bullshit. There are those who come here, infest neighborhoods and take away jobs from hard working Americans and then there are victims of bureaucratic anarcho-tyranny like this. These types of scenarios are unacceptable. I tend to believe that a system that will let the guilty go free is preferable to one that will punish even one innocent man. Men like this deserve to be treated as Americans, because they are. +The article also good.The four key things can do while helping a friend who may have anxiety or hanging out with their friends as much anymore or are always tired and feeling down. Suggest they see a doctor or health professional and/or help them to make possible, the person's spouse or a mutual friend may be able to give +I hate ISIS. They are a group full of hate and insanity. There is no reason for them to be doing the things they do. They make people suffer and die for no reason at all. They think they are better than other people and should be disbanded. I do not think there is room in this world for people that associate with them and they are highly misguided. I cannot respect them at all. +i think we all need to do a better job of taking care of are forest and water ways because we rely on these to surive and if we are killing animals and fish the wrong way and they start to go away it could have a big impact on us and by that time it could be to late to do anything about it. so we need to put laws in that will help the animals but also help allow us to fish for them the right way not by taking a shortcut +Wow, how dare this person hurt a poor flamingo for no reason!? Why would some random dude go to Busch Gardens and abuse a bird who was minding its own business? Poor bird had to be euthanized because of its injuries! The bird was 19 years old! It seems that there may have to be some sort of background check or mental health testing before you are even allowed to visit a place like this.Just unbelievable the way things happen! Soooo SAD! +This is just one of the negative consequences of long term war in a region. The hospitals in Yemen have been devastated by war and no diseases are starting to spread among the population with no way to control them without outside help. I hope the people of Yemen will be able to find humanitarian aid soon to help them control the spread of disease. +Hey! So I just read this article about the internet in schools. I guess that several years ago, the government came up with this program to get internet and technology in to schools and make it possible for as many or all students to have access to computers and the internet. However, according to this article, this program is not working the way that it was set up to work and students are not actually benefiting from this program that costs A LOT of money! I was upset to read this, as I feel that the internet can be such a valuable tool in education, but then I really wasn't surprised at all to learn that the government isn't doing what it has been set up to do or what it is promising us citizens it will do. Doesn't the government just infuriate you and make you think you could do better? +I feel like the Syrian war situation is just completely out of control at this point, but what often bothers me more is that people who supported Obama for both terms had a sort of blind spot on this issue. When the Arab Spring happened and then the Libyan war and now the Syrian war (et cetera) there was very little meaningful opposition to it from the Democrat-voting side of the aisle. Republican lawmakers just pretended to be opposed to thwart Obama, if they even did that. In reality, the whole government supported "removing Assad" and because that objective was considered SO important, now we have the current situation of extreme tragedy. I feel like it is hard to convey how important this is. +Supposedly there is a lot of unrest in Ethiopia right now over the appropriation of land and government protest. I thought they were doing well and the economy was growing but i guess it has ceased now. Its unbelievable that all this is going on and most people in the states are aware of whats going on. +i like We expect Turkey to safeguard its parliamentary democracy, including respect for human rights and the rule of law, and we are conveying these expectations directly to the Turkish authorities,” Mogherini said in a statement with the EU’s enlargement commissioner,Erdoğan has launched repeated personal attacks on Demirtaş, who analysts have seen as the sole politician in Turkey who comes anywhere near to rivalling his charisma. Demirtaş has made it a personal crusade to oppose Erdoğan’s plan for a presidential system in Turkey, which the HDP says would lead to dictatorship. +Did you hear about what had happened to the kid in china. They found his body dead in a desserted well in China after he was helping his father pick some vegetables or something like that. I just feel like if he was helping his father, then it is hard to believe that his dad did not know he had fallen into the well. Either way, sad story. +I just read about a company is threatening one of the largest populations of Orangutan's in Indonesia by chopping down a critical forest to convert it to a tree plantation. I think it's really disgusting that Indonesia knows they need to preserve their land and wild life but still allows things like this to happen. +it is a very interesting article. quite a good read and has important information. the article did really communicate to me i felt like the author was talking to me trying to relay some sort of information. i like the use of language that the author uses, very simple and easy to understand for everyone. please read it. +I thought this was a pretty interesting article. I learned some things about music and lawsuits. It might be relevant to some of what you and I were talking about some time ago. In any case, it has some new facts that have come to light, as it were, new information or opinions that I had not fully considered prior to reading this article. +Did you hear about the polar bear name Pizza called the word's saddest polar bear? Apparently they are not treating it well in China by not giving it enough space and turning his life into a circus show. He started to inflict self harm because of his living condition. I really hope China comes up with better animal cruelty laws although I doubt this will happen because of our culture difference. It makes me furious knowing animals are being treated like this over there. +This article was about a rash of fires in the south, particularly Appalachia. It mentioned dry conditions causing numerous fires and contributing to pollution that made the air dangerous and unpleasant to breathe. It also said that some of the fires were probably caused by arson, but didn't dwell too much on that aspect. The quoted official mentioned that dry conditions meant more fires could easily be accidentally started and that was a danger. +I feel bad for the Queen. She just lost her husband and now she's sick. I also feel bad for the people over there. They've had rulers as leaders for so long that most of the weren't even alive to experience anybody else. I hope she recovers and is able to get a few more good years out of her life. +The Year's Strongest Storm Sweeps by Taiwan — Typhoon Meranti gathered in strength as it swept close to Taiwan on Wednesday, and with maximum winds of 230 miles per hour it has been called the strongest storm of the year. Meranti was classified as Category 5, the highest on the scale. The storm has brought not only high winds, but also heavy rain, and many Taiwanese cities have flooded. Trains and shipping services in some southern cities had stopped, and most flights were grounded. As of Wednesday, there were only a few injuries. +The disgust I have while reading this story. No one should send there child to school to learn and have to worry about sexual assault in any form. She makes other teachers look bad. Taking a plea deal was her best choice. There is never an acceptable reason for something like this to happen. The fact she had a young daughter too is scary. +Did you read this article? it is awful. Every time i hear about a murder suicide type situation I wonder where someone could have intervened, some doctor, some professional, some family member, who could have have done something to step in so that these people could be alive today? It will drive you crazy if you keep thinking about it. +I think parents complaining about their preteen children are overreacting. Just deal with it and everything will be okay. You can't place them in a toy box anymore or sit them in front of the TV and tell them to sit and watch it until it's done. I'm not worried about this because I have no kids of my own and I could care less. +Can you believe they're doing this? Kicking people out of their homes to expand a stupid airport? Screw these guys. what do you think? Personally, I'm upset and I'm starting a petition. Please sign it if you're against this issue like I am. It's absolutely ridiculous and should never happen, so there you go +Wow, I just read an article that says coconuts could be in danger of becoming much more scarce. There is a bacteria going around that causes lethal yellowing and wipes them out. Due to the water concentration, a traditional seed bank is not an option. You would have to have a living gene bank. That would affect a lot of companies and industries. +I just read about a young male wolf that was shot dead after walking 700 miles in search of a mate. That seems pretty awful. I am thinking about all of the different paths that wolf walked along on his journey, only to see it end in disaster. Apparently it was a government sniper that killed him. I'm not sure why the government has snipers to kill wolves. If they are posing a direct threat, then of course animals must be killed, but I don't see that this wolf was threatening anyway. It seems dishonorable. +Did you hear about the guy who was the father who works for the Swedish government? This guy for some unknown reason contracted a flesh eating bacteria disease. It took them awhile to diagnose what really was wrong with him and he had to take certain surgeries in order to save his life. He talks about how he's grateful to be alive but also wants to live in the moment to enjoy his life as well. It is touching news and I'm happy that he's able to overcome this adversity that came upon his life. +ISTANBUL, have you heard what is going on over near Turkey? Man I am not even really sure myself but it sounds pretty messed up. At least eight members of parliament were charged with some type terrorism-related crimes. This is just sickening to me. Turkey’s parliament voted to strip lawmakers of their immunity +The elections nowadays are just so unrelenting. You have to spend a lot of money on campaigns and trying to put down the other person. It's a wonder that man doesn't spend all his money that he has earned. I don't think he even got a chance to tell anyone what kind of person he is. He gets torn down before he has a chance to do anything. I'm just so mad at the whole election system and the way things are done. Everything about your past and present gets brought up and nothing you do can go unnoticed. +I read about this asshole Arcan Cetin who shot up a mall in Oak Harbor, Washington. Evidently before he did the shooting he had been placed under a no firearm order because he had been charged with domestic assault. I guess it just goes to show that gun laws are a pointless joke; if this guy had been a decent law abiding person no gun law would be needed, but because it was a criminal and a murderer the law didn't do anything to stop him from shooting up a mall. +There is no way the FBI or any government agency could figure out what a lone wolf terrorist was going to do. Some terrorist could walk into anywhere and just start shooting the place up. It's terrible what the United States has become. The only way I see to limit terrorism is to try and limit immigration into the country, but even that doesn't solve things. Seems like if you don't live the right kind of life to someone, whether it's being gay etc., then somebody tries to hurt you. It's terrible. +Dude I seriously cannot believe what happened at the zoo not too long ago. A kid fell into a moat in May when he fell through the barrier. Wow it must have been so terrifying for the family. Then the gorilla picked up the boy and carried him a little bit. They actually ended up shooting the gorilla which is so sad. +Dude, you won't believe this. A six-year-old girl fell down an elevator shaft and died. The elevator company has to be at fault here, but that won't bring her back! I can't imagine how her parents must feel, looking at my little boy and wondering what it would be like if we lost him in such a horrible -- yet preventable -- tragedy. I feel so bad for the parents, but I wonder if they could have prevented it somehow, and if so, it would be hard not to blame them somewhat for what happened. But that isn't to deflect guilt over how horrible they must feel, as no one wants to lose their child in such an egregious tragedy. I hope you pray for the family with me! +I just read an article about a very strong Category 5 typhoon, ‘Typhoon Meranti’, which grew stronger as it swept close to Taiwan on Wednesday. A Category 5 has intense maximum winds of 230 miles per hour, and is being called the strongest storm of the year. There were no deaths reported but a handful of injuries and of course electricity is out for large numbers of residents. The storm may intensify as it heads toward China and is being monitored. What a tragedy could unfold if it makes a direct hit on some of the highly populated areas in China. Could end up being one of the strongest storms of the century. +we just have a long way to go.Too many times we do not believe the victim especially if they are females.Things happen to them especially now and they are coming out but we still ask for proof when we should believe in them most and that should be more than enough proof.We want to believe them and show them that we care as people and that we would do what it takes to get them the justice that they deserve +How sick is this. A visitor at Busch Gardens in Florida attacked a flamingo. Park staff had to euthanize the bird because of its injuries. It seems the flamingo did some sort of unique dance and had become quite well known for it. The guy is being held on bond, charged with animal cruelty. They ought to throw the book at him. +This article is fascinating - takes the concept of global warming and directly ties it with the impact on weather events. These events show a vast contrast between both extremely hot weather and also extreme amounts of precipitation when compared across historical items. Showing it is not just a regionally focused weather pattern, but in fact across the country that is the most troubling. +It makes me sad to think of this man who was mentally unstable attacking people. I wonder sometimes how many attacks are attributed to terrorists when in reality the people might just be mentally ill. I wish we had a better system for treating mental illness in our country instead of locking people away. +It's too bad that we are still in the middle east. I wish Trump would just pull out of the middle east entirely so our soldiers will stop being targets for all the countries that hate us. The longer we are there the easier we make it for them to inflict damage to our troops. It must not be easy for them to be there away from their families. +It is appalling that there are places that would actively want to get immunized and cant due to lack of resources. While at the same time in America there are parents who actively keep their children from getting them. Their should be social consequences in place the parents who intentionally endanger their children like this. I would think a hefty tax that goes to implementing vaccines in impoverished areas would be a great idea. +I said Trump would win. Polls said otherwise, I didn't care, I knew the fucker would win. I think people are not willing to accept that others are really shitty and that someone like Trump would be voted in. They can't see past others. People have too much faith in others, too much trust. There are a lot of vile people out there, just gotta encourage them a little bit and they'll come out. Trump was their encouragement. What will the liberals do now? I don't know. Sometimes I think we will be okay, sometimes I think we won't. I just know that going to one march is going to do shit. You need tens of marches, packed to the brim. You need them every weekend. For months. You need to call your officials, complain, elect them, vote them out. Do more. But one march isn't going to do shit. +Hey, I just read this article today. It takes place in 2011 and is about an inmates at a federal prison that had to choose between living with a violent cellmate or end up in shackles. In the cell they had to spend nearly 24 hours a day together in a concrete room smaller than a parking space, can you imagine? I learned that they have a form of punishment there and it is called "four-pointing". They cuff each limb to the corner of a concrete slab or bed frame. That just sounds like torture to me. The guy that the story is about is serving a 35-year sentence for drug trafficking and assaulting a corrections officer. This prison is known as the toughest prison and I can see why. You really should read this article, it is very eye opening. +It's amazing what people will do to avoid embarrassment. I just heard about a guy who was concerned over urinary track issues and decided the best way to figure out his problem was to shove a stainless steel chopstick into his urethra. It had to be removed via surgery, and it sounds like it was successful, but Jesus Christ man, go to a doctor. +France plans to shut down the jungle as they call it. This was where they kept illegal immigrants trying to make their way to Britain. I certainly feel for anyone looking for a better life and at times wish all countries had open borders as this one isn't so great at times but we do have laws and many immigrants enter other countries legally and I think there needs to be some sort of controls that make the process fair to legal citizens. I feel for the immigrants but it's hard to support their actions when they could also do so legally as opposed to sneaking in by way of hiding in trucks. +Wow, what a horrible and terrifying accident,I feel very bad for the people involved and their families. I wonder what caused this terrible accident, I hope that it was not any human error, because that makes it worse to deal with. I cannot imagine being on that train and the intensity of the accident. It makes me feelvery sad thinking about the deaths of those people on board. +The author of this article I read examined several cases in which youth were killed in gun violence on the same day. They used the personal stories of a couple of people to show how the ready availability of guns contributes to sad situations in which kids are shot and killed. It wasn't as well written as a lot of journalism in this area, but it was pretty interesting to hear the stories of the two cases that were detailed. One involved a violent adult who went on a rampage and shot an ex-girlfriend's child and another person. The other story involved two kids who were left alone in a home that had a lot of guns and one of them ended up shooting and killing the other, claiming it was an accident. The author concludes by calling for more active challenges to the NRA and the second amendment +I hate to hear about officers getting shot but news spreads of officers doing illegal or corrupt things all the time and that will ultimately lead to extremists who want to take matters into their own hands in a revengeful way. I don't like that part of our society but it isn't something that is easy to combat. As long as officers get blasted on news or the internet for illegal actions, people are going to look for ways to retaliate. Its an extremely volatile situation no matter how you look at it. I bleed for all those affected but really don't see what we can do as a society to prevent it. +I hadn't heard about this and I find it surprising. I initially thought of the ecological factor so it's a good thing that it was contained. It's worrisome that people are struggling to find gas anywhere. I imagine those areas don't have good options for public transportation or anything. Maybe it will push people to get smart cars or ride bikes. +I just read this article indirectly about climate change that I know you'll find interesting. It talks about the extinction of three different species. It's a sad situation, but if you read it, it was almost entirely the fault of man, and climate change only played a small part. The worst part is that it could have been prevented if somebody had sounded the alarm in time. +How awful. I have the feeling things like this are going to get more and more common - racists are going to feel more comfortable and much bolder if there's someone in office that seems to approve of actions like these. We need a leader who takes a strong stance against racism and hate crimes like this, or our country will continue to fracture. +I just heard about more poaching of rhinos, animals in general! This one was a black rhino very old, but what I don't understand is why people are so money focused and are willing to kill for it? Out of all the ways we could be making money why is killing animals something pretty defenseless if we just leave them alone, the main focus for money for some? I've never had a desire to hurt an animal for any reason, you? +Sometimes I worry a little, when I'm out in public, about a mass-shooting (or even some crazy with a vehicle running people over) happening. But, on the other side of the coin, the chances are pretty slim of that happening. Plus, if you think about it, the worst thing that happens, if that were to occur, is that I die and then nothing is my problem anymore. I'm in no rush to die, but if it happens, it happens. It's an inevitability. +A reward of $25000 is being offered to catch somebody who is killing horses in the Salt River area. There are several murders of horses every year. Anyways, the group raising the money started a campaign on GoFundMe, and people have donated $25000. The group also is concerned with conservation-related issues. +the phone lines from the suicide prevention line surged after the election. it also climbed when robin williams committed suciide. thankfully there is this prevention line to help those in need who have sucidal thoughts but we need to condition people that committing sucide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem +This article here was a bit confusing and I really couldn't see the point. From what I gathered a Militia from Ohio is trying to defend its' people from an overbearing federal government. I can completely understand why they would want to stand up to the federal government. Apparently, a protestor was shot by the government. I seen nothing in the article that explained the protestor was violent or a danger to the ones around him. Just shot for protesting. This is an outrage! +Read an interesting article about blight in the forests you might enjoy. So true, you just have to live to learn with things. Change is certain. It's the one constant on the planet as in life. Check it out, it's sort of sad fact of reality but as true as can be. Change is gonna come regardless of what you do and regardless of if you want it to or not. +The article that I just read sheds light on how hard it really is for people to get out of timeshares. The article highlighted an older couple. The couple bought their timeshare when their children were younger and they were able to travel. Now, many years later, the older couple finds it hard it get traveler's insurance. They also stated how expensive traveling can be alone. The couple is struggling to get rid of their timeshare. It makes me feel for the couple and other people in this financial burden. +Hey T, I found an article that I thought you would be interested in. It is about how Iraqis found evidence of torture by Islanic State in mass graves near the city Mosul. Can you believe that, they literally just killed and dumped bodies there. From what the articles says in just one hours time they found 20 to 25 bodies. Some where hard to even tell if it were human or not. They still can't figure out how they died but they will soon enough. Though from the state of decomposition it has only been a few weeks that they have been there. All I can say is that were tortured point blank. +I'm no parent and I completely believe Donald Trump is a horrible man. With that being said, I don't think it is correct to shun your child from having a different belief as you. Children should be able to freely be able to open up a discussion with their parents and analyze their opposing views without worrying if they will receive any type of punishment. I love jokes and pulling pranks, but to do that to your own child and then to publicly embarrass them...well that doesn't seem funny at all to me. It worries me that the child will from now on tiptoe around certain topics for fear of upsetting their parent. +A diseased called microcephaly has spread from South America to America. It's a virus which causes severe brain impairment. In the article, a couple's child has the disease and showed signs of impairment early on. They were worried whether a second child would also have the disease but the child did not even though the odds were one in four. +Looks like the drought isn't only affecting California, the drought is affecting other regions in the mid west. The drought creating drier climates making them more susceptible to fires and that region has already lost 100,000 acres to forest fires. The drought is definitely a major issue that needs to be addressed. +While I was reading the article, I found myself not feeling warm or sympathetic. I guess I just do not care, to be frank, about the things happening in Haiti. I don't think others care either. That's where a lot of my focus was, thinking about how others don't care. I think for the most part, people don't generally care about what is happening in other countries. I think Haiti is one of them. I think people have just been forced to care. Anyway, as I said, I don't care about Haiti. +Get too close to a skunk, and it will spray you with a noxious mix of sulphuric thiols, the chemicals in raw onions that make you cry.The spray doesn't just stink: it chokes your lungs and causes temporary blindness, allowing the skunk to get away.The scent is produced in anal glands at the base of the tail, and is fired through nipples attached to the glands. Impressive muscle control allows skunks to target their enemy's face at a distance of over 2m.Without this deterrent, the slow-moving skunks would be unable to escape from predators. +The dwindling wilderness is due, in part to humanity’s activities such as logging, agriculture, mining, and of course, oil and gas exploration. The research team from Australia’s University of Queensland said the Earth has lost nearly 1.3 million square miles of wilderness. They’ve defined wilderness as an area with no human development. Dr. James Watson of the University of Queensland in Australia said globally important wilderness areas are completely ignored in environmental policy, and much has been paid to the loss of species. Without any policies to protect them, they are “falling victim to widespread development,” he added. Dr. Watson also revealed that humanity has one to two decades to turn things around. +I just read the article and I am so surprised that this happened. I feel really embarrassed for her because it seems obvious that she's the one starting trouble but I worry that she might have some sort of mental illness or disorder that she really didn't realize what she said and that makes me feel bad for her. I can understand her concerns about racism but I think that she's just not very credible in this case. I just feel like we need to be really sensitive towards racism and keep an open mind when it happens, but considering that there were other people there and absolutely no one is backing her up, I don't know if we can really take her seriously and that's really sad. Crowe also doesn't seem like the kind of person to be racist or to bully someone for absolutely no reason, either. +So the police found this woman wondering the streets in Philadelphia at 1 am with no coat on in the cold. She was in some kind of daze, probably alzheimer's or something. Anyways, their trying to identify her. It would suck to be in that state of mind. Sounds horrible and potentially scary if your cognizant enough. +I read this article about a bus that was hit a random car from out of nowhere. The bus was parked and the car just plowed into it. It's kind of fucked up but typical. A few people were hospitalized but no one died. Anyways their investigating the crash. These types of incidents happen so often I'm rather numb to their effects. +This is just such a sad situation. I wish they had been able to find out more when they investigated, but I guess they can't always get it right. I really feel for the father. He did what he could to stop his son and he wasn't able to. It reminds me of a certain person I know whose family member was involved in a different kind of violent extremism. Sometimes people you love go on terrible paths and you don't have enough information to do anything until it's too late. +Well Toughie the Frog died. He was in a zoo. He was twelve years old at least. They say he was older since he was caught as an adult. I wonder what gave him such a long life. They don't live long around here where I live. I cannot imagine a frog living that long. That's as long as a dog almost. I hope they earned a great deal from him. +I just read an article about kids being killed on Halloween night. It's an awful tragedy that we need to try to prevent. Because someone was driving stupid, kids were killed. Halloween is a time to have responsible fun and some guy took it to the extremes. It's sad, and I feel for those parents. No parent should have to bury their child. +I have always thought that politics were a scam and this is another example of politics gone wrong. Every country runs into problems sometimes and in this case they would like her to step down from her position. Do you think she really has a say though or will they just force her to step down if she does not volunteer. +It seems like Paris is getting to be a very dangerous place. I know who Kardashian is, but I have never heard of this Sherawat. It sounds like she is par for the course in Hollywood, just another Obama and Hillary supporter. But still, its terrible to be tear gassed and beaten, and I feel sorry for her. +Interesting article, and I can see both sides of the issue. On one hand, it is true that it's incredibly, incredibly hard for people to immigrate to America. The old saying that you "need money to make money" is true in the sense that if you show up on our shores with nothing at all, it's going to be awfully hard to make anything of yourself. That being said, the American dream has always been one of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and being a self-made-man. You need to be able to do things on your own and most of the most successful people on Earth came from abject poverty. +Hello Friend. I am really very surprised at all the things that have happened and continue and continue to happen in the world. Now the big problem we are facing in this part of the United States of America is a new outbreak or virus. The specialists in the field of health still do not know what this problem is due to and how to stop it. Here I write part of what I have learned on the subject. This started in November and the symptoms are fever, a lot of chills, and difficulty to breathe +I hate it when these terrorist attacks happen on innocent people who are just living their lives. I don't know how open societies can completely eliminate them? You can't put the terrorist stigma on everyone of a certain religion and you can't close off your society. There's always going to be religious zealots and crazy people who feel violence is the only way to get their ideas across, but we just have to keep fighting them and trying our best to prevent an attack when possible. +I think with all the social media and news stories, recent incidents involving terror attacks, and those who are of a different race commuting these acts, especially since the 9/11 attack this will always be an issue with people because we are just alarmed, even though some may have nothing to do with terrorism or any type of situation regarding that but they will always be perceived that way because of what happened in the past. It's probably not right of those who are discriminating and the airlines really need to do something about all the complaints. +I am crushed after hearing about the conditions in Haiti after Hurricane Matthew hit the area. The people are literally starving to death and the injured and sick do not have access to enough, if any medical care. There are areas that are completely inaccessible to aid, either medically or food or water supplies. There is extensive looting in Haiti and the situation is extremely dangerous even for those that try to bring in supplies to the people living there. My heart is breaking as I think of all the people, children and adults in Haiti. It is a country that still has not recovered from the earthquake that happened there years before. I think that our country should continue to report on these terrible conditions and try to get aid to Haiti from every source available. +It is nice to see others doing things to help those that are in need or have gone through negative experiences. I think things like this show how the world can come together when it needs to and that other countries do care about their people. This is a fine example and a defining moment that many people should see. +I can't believe this article that I just read. They are making these allegations of Islamophobia and all kinds of crazy notions of hatred against gays, etc. What do they expect people to think when every time we hear of a bombing, it is a muslim. Do they expect people to say thank you? I don't hear any Islamic leaders speaking out against any of the terrorism. Are we just to sit back and say "thank you sir, may I have another." Not only do I not hear any Islamic leaders speaking out against it, I don't hear any muslim citizens speaking out either. As to the gay and transgender stuff, I will speak out against whomever I wish. They have a right to spew their immoral acts all of the place, then I have the right to speak out against their immoral acts which are an affront to almighty God +I honestly can't believe I just read that whole article about a frog. I absolutely despise them. They are some of the most vile creatures on this earth. Ew. But.... there was something pretty interesting at the end of the article. One of the researchers claim that over half of all species will be extinct by the end of the century. That is insane!!!! Pretty sure most of that is due to climate change but we have Donald Asshat and Company who refuse to acknowledge it or its repercussions. +I know that you are an animal lover like I am. It really bothers me that individuals open up zoos and don't really care about the animals. It is wonderful that an organization was available to take these animals out of the zoo near the Gaza Strip. I will not be going to any zoos anytime soon. How about you? Animals need to be free, not stared at and yelled at by little children. They deserve space. For now on when someone asks me to go to a zoo, my answer is nooooo! +This article about a firecracker going off during a protest is about the stupidest thing I have seen in a while. The journalists are pond scum trying desperately to write anything they can to divide people up. College kids can't bear a firecracker going off, they need to institute mandatory military service like Israel does, then maybe they would not be scared chickens crying about everything. +Hey, check this out. This guy ended up murdering his wife for no obvious ad apparent reason, according to this article. He was happily married to his wife and just ended up committing a homicide. It's scary to think about, how it could be possible for someone to just go off like that and kill someone they love. +As a parent, I feel that is definitely one of my responsibilities to teach my children the importance of loving and taking care of our environment. Without the wilderness, the animals will have nowhere to live, and without the wilderness, what will our animals be forced to live in. What I want them to remember is that they are the ones living in the environment, not the environment invading on our lives. We must take care of it in order to make sure that we have a sustainable environment our children's children. +I think that global warming is definitely a very real thing that is occurring today and I feel like it is sad that there are still people who try to deny the fact that it is a very real thing. Sometimes I feel like the people that disagree with scientists and real evidence that global warming is very obvious today is just very ignorant and live in a bubble where they think that everything is fine in the world and everyone is at peace. There are so many reasons why we should be using fewer resources as it is constantly destroying our environment and it is unfortunate that there are people who just continue to deplete our resources without a care in the world. Maybe the effects won't be felt as much in our generation but I am sure that the effects will be felt by those others after us sadly. +I feel like a lot of artists do this or try to do this. Take credit for music or lyrics that others have helped with. This probably happeneds more then we know about. They just made an entire Disney movie on it. Coco. It basically was about 2 singers and the one killed the other so no one would know he made and wrote all the lyrics and music that the one guy stole. I mean any way you look at it it's not right. The guy does serve and pay out and then some for what he has done to his friend. +I wonder who shot him and where. Did he get shot in the chest? The arm? The leg? The back? Where????? And also, where was he when he got shot? Was he inside or outside of the club? Did he drive himself? Was he alone? Did anyone else get shot?????? Sooooo many questions, so little answers. Has anyone been arrested yet? Are there any suspects????? +Cohen moved to New York in 1966 at age 31 to break into the music business. Before long, critics were comparing him with Bob Dylan for the lyrical force of his songwriting. Although he influenced many musicians and won many honors, including induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Order of Canada, Cohen rarely made the pop music charts with his sometimes moody folk-rock. His most ardent admirers compared his works to spiritual prophecy. He sang about religion, with references to Jesus Christ and Jewish traditions, as well as love and sex, political upheaval, regret and what he once called the search for “a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. +So apparently even turtles are poised to suffer from our careless destruction of the planet vis a vis degradation to habitats due to climate change. Though it seems like they will be able to withstand the changes in temperature, it is not at all clear what will be the outcome of the potentially lost habitats they live in due to climate change. These guys have been around longer than we have, as a species. It's really sad to think that we would be responsible for endangering them even further than we already have. +I just read this article about contact lenses. It has some good information about the risks associated with improper wear of contacts. I can't believe there are some people who store their lenses in tap water. Gross! I definitely make it a point to not wear my lenses over the 30 day limit and I try to never fall asleep in wearing them. +I just read an article discussing the impact global warming is having on polar bears. It's really troubling to read about just how much damage is being done, and you KNOW that nobody is going to do anything about it for years here. We have a man-child president, and while the majority of the biggest countries are trying to make policy changes to fight global warming, our president is dismantling our E.P.A organization, and putting idiots that don't give two craps about the environment in charge. So when can we expect polar bears to go extinct? Because you know by the time we get around to helping them, it'll be too late. The older, conservative generation just needs to go. Anyways, you should really read this article. I told you this was an issue that needed to be addressed, so go read it. +I can't say that I specifically care about the election, and would rather have someone besides the two main parties win for once. I also personally dont like Trump, as I find him to be a rather bombastic idiot, and wish Hillary wuold have won, though I didn't particularly want either of them. I hope he takes the stress of the election into becoming a better leader. +Did you hear about what happened in Afghanistan? There were civilian and military deaths during battles with the Taliban. I cannot imagine what the Afghan family members are going through or what the families of the Americans here are going through. It is such a great loss. This war has got to end soon. I know that the US troops are just trying to help the Afghanis but there are so many things that go on during these battles. I pray an end comes soon. +This is a nice little distillation of American culture. I cant criticize the entire thing enough. The shallowness of the need for fake aesthetics, the absurdity of the legal system, the shoddy products of huge corporations playing to the solipsism of American sheep. It's just another sad piece of shit. Calgon, take me away. +Can't believe the jury failed to convict the people involved in the National Wildlife Refuge takeover in Oregon. The people weren't even from Oregon. They traveled half way across the country, invaded the facility, and barricaded themselves inside. Yet the jury didn't find reasonable cause to believe they impeded Wildlife Service workers from doing their jobs. Bunch of alt-right would-be cowboys. +Whenever you hear about tragedy you can't help but put yourself in their place and worry about how they feel. You wonder about how they react, and how they can believe that a simple accident can hurt someone that they love. I am sure that they will second guess themselves, and wonder how they could let something like that happen. +Can you imagine what kind of heartache these people must be going through? I don't know what it would be like to have to live in fear that your own country is going to be bombed, let alone receiving a messages basically telling you that if you don't get out now you could die from a bombing. Politics is making life so hard for so many innocent people. +Muslim immigration seems to have some unique issues. I think the solution is to hold off with allowing much Muslim immigration until Muslims start polling better on ideas involving apostates, etc. As evidenced by polls (even in European countries), the ideas Muslims accept put them at odds with basic educational values. I think seeking a professional to talk and try to fix mental issues can be a good thing. The right therapy can likely help certain people. What concerns me is living situations that are unhealthy for economic reasons, and psychological problems concerning motivation. I suspect some mental issues may not be helped by seeing a professional. +Considering that since Donald Trump got elected, there has been a rise in reported hate crimes that have turned out to be hoaxes, I'd say there's at least a fifty percent chance this is a fake too. Even if it's not, it didn't happen to me or anyone I care about, and it didn't happen anywhere near where I live, so it's of absolute zero concern to me. Nothing more to say about that, but I know I have to fill in a certain number of characters. +i feel liek this is a very opinionated article. Im not sure who wrote this article but I truly feel like they have alot of raw mixed up emotional feelings that they cant get out. Although, we are all very aware of the constant changes going on int he world with equality and everyone going through the issues of being unjust and such..its alot to handle and alot of people just dont know what to do. i feel lbad for the people in the story +Let’s hope those are very isolated incidents triggered by people with mental health issues. It might be that there were crazy things like that happening before but we heard less about them. Still, I’ve been reading everywhere that hate crimes or incidents motivated by racism are climbing. And it’s not surprising considering that bigots are being empowered by people in high positions, some in a very high position… +I had no idea that the Great Lakes area had problems with earthquakes. I'm glad that it wasn't a bigger on but it is still had how much damage was done. I feel better for those families that lost loved ones. You would think in this modern age we would be able to detect earthquakes sooner and have enough time to evacuate an area. +This is a very sad article. Being of of the first female fighter pilots must have given her and her family great honor. I think that there should be more training for all pilots who deal in these acrobatic flying routines. I also think that women have just as much of a right to become a fighter pilot as men. +The article that I just read was about the ongoing violence and fighting between Kenya and South Sudan. The words in the article really struck a nerve with me. It made me cry. There have been thousands of people who have lost their lives during this argument. It makes me want to reach out and help in any way possible. The fighting needs to stop and peace needs to be restored between these two nations. +Josh, I just read about the Calais refugee camp that was set up in France to house the people from Syria that the maniac killing his own people drove away. The problem with all of this is the country of Syria must come to a place where they take back what has been taken from them. But you know why they can't? The citizens were not allowed to be armed and any weapons they have now have been supplied by us and the allies. Perfect example as to why our founders wrote the second amendment. +I just read about all kinds of rioting going on in Ethiopia. It's really a shame what is going on over there. This is an area which has hopes of dramatic infrastructure improvement and new jobs. Many people and organizations have invested a lot of money and now have to wonder whether they should continue to invest in an area which may be destroyed by rioters. It's so sad to hear about these beautiful farms and nurseries just being gutted and destroyed. The farms now have all these workers and equipment with nothing to do. The farms are gone. It sounded as if some of the elders in the community tried to calm things down, and it worked in some areas, but other areas just raged on with riots and destruction. Can't these people see that they are ruining their own future? +isis is now one of the major terrorists group operating in iraq . the Iraqi security forces are in constant war with it . isis have killed around 800 ppl in Iraqi city of Mosul and using 1000s of civilian as human shield to stop Iraqi forces advance and it make me worried that when it going to stop . we eliminate one group and another one pop up . this is a major concern for the world +This is yet another tragedy in need of our justice! This time we have a plane crash that had killed some very important polish people. This has recently come under investigation for foul play. These people need justice in their case and we should support any justice that will bring the truth out for these unfortunate people! +All in all the EU have to help the refugees. We have to treat people like we like to be treated. If there were a war here we also would be flee. We are afraid for violet’s so they otherwise they would say there. If they are in the EU we have to make sure there are no arguments , so we can still have our peaceful society. And I am sure that we have one thing in comment, we all live on the earth. +I feel that it is a common thing to have intentions misplaced. The article seems to discuss what the difference is between perception versus reality. I love to understand what part of reality I can dissect to understand how I can do better myself. For example if a family member tells me that something does not look right on my body I usually take it off. For example I had a bad weave on my head one time and I took it off after church and never wore it again. I love to always look my best and if I don't I will usually correct the situation. The perception of fantasy is often when people get in trouble because they perceive it as reality. I have always received constructive criticism from my parents so that I can also distinguish the difference as well. Parents should often be the critic ok. +Take a look at this story that I found online. It's about forest fires being spread out over a couple of different states, pretty interesting. I know that I sent you the pictures of what was happening around here, but you might be also interested in reading this story about how it is happening all over the place. +It is sad that this is what is needed to get some people to pay attention to the immense damage that has been and is continuing to be done by global warming. Something should not have to affect you in order for it to matter. There are things that are a lot more important than your coffee fix. For instance, the people-like the people in the story-whose livelihoods are being put in danger because of global warming. +I just read an article about the presidential campaign trail that focused on how sexist one of the candidates is. It's important that these issues are brought up, especially when it's on a national stage like this. I'm glad to hear people are publicly voicing their concerns and even revealing the troubling incidents they went through involving sexism. I hope after this political race is over, we can all reflect and learn to treat each other better. +The situation in Delhi is very much a product of a 3rd world country trying to modernize. the use of fossil fuels and lack of sanitation has led to this country having intense smog problems. This has reached the point where it is harmful to children everyday even in school. Idk when this issue will be resolved but soemoen has to interevene. +Isn't it just a shame the US is no longer the world leader when it comes to handling things like the Somali refugees? We should be in the lead with the repatriation efforts to help these poor people. Now, I know that we can't help every person in every nation but we should really be taking the international lead on issues like this. +Since Trump became president it has been clear that people who are racist, misogynist, and sexist people have been hiding, probably because society overall expresses these things as a bad thing. But since they see a leader that is like them, it gives them fuel to be bad people in public and even are proud of it. I just hate Trump and everything about him as well as his supporters. +Tigers are truly majestic creatures, and it's a shame that their numbers are decreasing. India cannot fight this battle on its own. The poachers sell to international buyers, so the governments of other countries should step in and help the Indian people combat these poachers. There should be a negative stigma on using any products made with tiger parts so that people would feel ashamed to contribute to this sordid smuggling trade. +And yet the deniers still claim that there is no scientific basis for the claim of human involvement. I bet some of them will latch onto the El Nino contribution to "prove" that it's just the randomness of nature. However, they will fail to understand that it's only a random amplification of the effects that we a directly responsible for by spewing so much CO2 in to the atmosphere. We won't get them to act until people are literally dying in the street. +Not a surprise to see the United States falling further down in the global rankings in yet another category. I think by the time our next Presidential election comes around we will be no longer be considered a destination country but anyone in the know. I don't see why this particular stat isn't a matter of culture though. I haven't met many women who expressed an interest in STEM and most of them didn't even want to talk to people who were into it when I was in college. Now women might be more interested but it still isn't going to be anything approaching equal because the culture doesn't work that way. +Wow! I cannot believe I forgot about the Zika virus! How can we advance as a society to try to grasp a better understanding of this deadly virus? You would think as advanced as human civilization is we would understand more. Pregnant women who get Zika seem to be in the most danger. The effects it can have on the fetus is horrible! It is very scary to know that it can be passed along sexually even if a person was not feeling the symptoms.Africa and Asia seems to really need help fro the rest of the world in fighting this problem! +I always read about these house fires and never think about them again. That is something that I should do less of. Maybe I can find a way to donate time or money for families in tragedies so that they can get back on their feet as soon as possible. This recent reversal of my attitude was because a friend of mine recently had their apartment burn out due to a building fire. +Thinking about the refugee situation around the globe is so disheartening. There are so many people who are only trying to survive who cannot find support anywhere. Those of us in countries with resources really need to start pushing out legislators to accept and support these people, especially when their situations are the result of our own policies. Humans need to look out for each other far more--we should value every life the same, no matter the country of its origin. +A mother pushed a stroller onto an elevator that was not there. The baby dies of injuries and the mother was hurt. The building had over 100 elevator violations but did not stay on top of things to make sure the elevators were working properly. The building neglience caused an infants death. I cant imagine going through something like that, that poor mother. +I really don't care about the article I just read. It didn't make me feel any sort of emotions, but I'm forced to fill in this box. Is boredom an emotion? I felt that while reading that massive wall of text. Stuff like the economy and businesses isn't anything worth feeling emotion over. It's also not even really worth worrying about when it's not something you can actually do anything about yourself. +This is just part of the troubling times we live in. There is a monster in the white House that a majority of the people did not elect and the Russian government had a hand in coming to power. He is breaking laws everyday and has the most corrupt cabinet in my lifetime. His agenda is simply to cause chaos and to profit off this as much as possible. The sooner this failed experiment is over the better of the nation will be. The only hope is that he doesnt start a nuclear war and that he will eventually be tried and brought to justice for his numerous crimes. +I’m glad that I don’t work at Well’s Fargo. To think that they would push their employees to the brink of suicide and having mental health issues is totally ridiculous. And all in the name of the almighty dollar. I wish companies cared more for their employees, than their bottom line. I have worked for a company for over 30 years and in the early years, the company cared about its employees. They treated us like family. The last ten or fifteen years have been so difficult. They could care less about their loyal employees. They treat us like dirt. All they care about is how much money they can make, never caring about how much stress they are putting on their workers. There has got to be a better way. I’m so glad I will be retiring in another year or so. I don’t think I could st +I reallly think this is quite sad. Poor people have the same sort of problems all over the world. I think this is because the rich are always keeping people down. I think that they pretend like everything is a racial struggle, but I suspect that the problems we face are largely because the rich are filthy rich and they have no empathy for the rest of us. +This article is quite disturbing in the way that Americans act towards one another. The display of the Confederate flag means different things for different Americans all over the country and it kind of makes me sad with the way people treat one another. Being an American means uniting as one, not fighting over a flag or the real issue, legal citizens who may not be white. +Hey have you heard about the polar bears? This global warming thing is going to take over there home land so fast. They will not be able to out swim the things that will b more of a chance at getting them because of whats happening right now. We have to help save the polar bears. Its been pretty terrible how the goverment and companoes just dont care to help save these animals. +Another doom and gloom article about Trump. Not surprising, ethics and truth passed out of journalism long ago. Trump is not against renewable power, he just wants a free market and he is right. The free market is the only way you will get renewables to the efficiency that they need to go global and push carbon out. If you coddle them they will get fat and lazy and never move forward. The Paris treaty was a push toward globalism and a boon for the liberals who dream of an elite class ruling the world. +This story makes me feel upset and aggravated because I hate that it is so easy to obtain guns in this country. I truly believe that there is no reason for anyone to have a gun and wish that the laws would change to make this the case, so I always feel frustrated reading about random shootings. I hate that we are subject to everyone else's violent whims as long as they can easily purchase a gun, so that makes me feel angry and also worried. I also feel sort of exhausted, since this happens in the news so much it just feels like yet another shooting story I have to be aware of, it's tiring. +How could this guy been shot several times, yet managed to make it to the hospital and tell what happened to him. It would seem like he would be in critical condition if that's the case. Sounds very suspicious. And for what reason would a random person just be blindly shooting in a night club. The reporters need to get down to what really happened there. +Did you see that Leonard Cohen passed away? You know, the guy who made the Hallelujah song. Poor guy passed away after suffering an injury but from what I hear he passed away in his sleep and he didn't suffer at all which is really good. It really makes you think that if he would of went to the hospital he might actually still be alive. Just make sure you get yourself checked if you ever hurt yourself. +A priest was abducted and tortured in Mexico. Authorities think it was a robbery but the church is convinced it was due to him being a human rights activist. It sucks that it happened but in all fairness Mexico is a shit hole and well known for cartel actions such as this. How many of your peers have to get abducted and killed or tortured before you learn to shut the fuck up or get the fuck out? In the end nobody but themselves to blame. +Wow! I didn;t know tigers were in such trouble! This makes me want to do more research and donate to the National Tiger Conservation Authority. We must protect these animals! It is so disturbing that poaching is still so problematic in today's society. I have heard of poaching of other animals, but rarely about tigers. I hope something can be done, and soon, to help tigers. +Did you see where there was a buss crash on the highway this morning? I don't think anyone got badly hurt, but it just shows you how quickly things can go from good to bad. I hope the one at fault wasn't doing something stupid like texting while they were driving! I can't stand those people! Well, however it happened, I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt or killed. +Trump is a fool. Climate change is real and it's starting to effect us directly. I wonder when he'll realize we have to do something. How much does it take? Maybe his golf curse has to catch fire just like the forests. This doesn't only effect us but the whole world and the life on it. United States needs to take action before it's too late. +Well nothing about this article was suprising to me. I'm sure it wasn't to you either. We've talked before about how much politicians like to brag, but there's very little to back up the whole "America is the greatest country in the world" thing. Interesting that South Korea has the most patents per people though. +This is also good. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, were "deeply saddened" by the passing of Reno, calling her "an extraordinary public servant who dedicated her life to advancing justice, equality, and innovations in criminal justice that would save and lift lives." "As Attorney General for all eight years of my Presidency, Janet worked tirelessly to make our communities safer, protect the vulnerable, and to strike the right balance between seeking justice and avoiding abuse of power," Clinton said in the statement, listing some of her top accomplishments. +So when I was a kid, the big thing I used to remember was reading about the poachers in Africa grinding down animal parts to then put into powder for men to snort to work like viagra. Today apparently those guys are going even further. They are hunting everything and anything just to make a profit. Not a surprise +I'm deeply disturbed to hear about actions being taking that could potentially curtail black Americans' ability to vote. The GOP has obviously been working to sabotage voting of minorities because they see them as a threat since they do not traditionally vote for Republican candidates. This needs to stop. +wow its just amazing to me how many countries look the other way while civilians are being killed or injured . Over 300 killed and over 400 injured in less then one month . There is no excuse for this . There is nothing on earth that should make this ok . I am sad for them . SO many lives are affected when will it stop? +Things are really heating up i dont know how much longer we can keep things up like this. if we can help they should tell us clearly how we can help out so that the temperature doesnt get too high. if it gets too hot then things will be really messed up for us and our childrens futures will be in danger +Hi mike, I hope you are. It's been hard to have these days over there when you need me here, my friend. I hope that you are taking care of all the dangers that you are going through, that you do it for us, for your people, your country but leaving aside all that you must teach in you and your family that are waiting for you here I hope you are well and can see you soon mike +I just read about the Elephants being killed for their ivory. It is such a sad thing that these elephants can't be protected by all nations. I think we should try to do more. Maybe do some research and see if we can help. I would sure hate to see elephants disappear and that is the way things are going right now. It would be a shame to lose these beautiful animals, just because of ivory. +When is the world going to realize that they need to start charging bullies with murder when kids kill themselves? Seriously, if you torture someone emotionally, how is that different from doing it physically? It's not. You're doing an insane amount of damage to someone's psyche, enough for them to commit suicide. Prosecute the kids bullying as adults, and start punishing these kids harshly enough to deter them from doing it ever again. Any adults aware and ignoring it? Charge them as accomplices to murder. +I just read a story about the tragic deaths that occurred as a result of the terrorist group in 2015 in Paris. It was gruesome to hear one man's account of the story. He said the shootings went on for 3 hours, and when stopped, it was only so they could load more ammunition and fire more. I couldn't help but think about the people out in the crowd who where hit and killed. It's disturbing just imagining that scene and the terror. And then one man, George Salines, got a call no one would want. That his daughter was among the 130 killed. The loss has affected his whole life, he left his job and everything. In one moment, anyone can be affected by severe tragedy. +I read an article about using the Internet and computers in the classroom, and how it affects kids. The article mainly talked about E-rate, a government program to subsidize the Internet and broadband access. It said that most classrooms are now connected, but the millions of dollars are still being spent. The program seemed to be wasting a lot of money and wasn't showing good results. I agree that just buying computers and being on the Internet doesn't guarantee that kids are receiving a good education. +It looks like Wells Fargo was illegally confiscating cars of service members to pay off debts, repossessing them. This is a terrible situation and thing to do, I can't imagine having my car repossessed, and how awful that must be on so many levels. Not having your car, having to watch them take it away, and everything. +Thinking of the earthquakes, makes me think of the issue on global warming and climate change. It seems like we are having more and more natural disasters. This leads you to think of the cause and how climate change had to be happening. I could not imagine. Shows you to be grateful, you never know what could happen. Something are just out of your control. +You know powerbars and protein bars? Well I just read about the next step called colon cleanse bars. No its not a diet food. Supposedly you eat it to "prep" your stomach for a colonoscopy. Well I bet you anything that in a week after production, every model and Hollywood actress starts popping these things as a diet pill +The political divide in this country has only gotten worse over the years. Trump in particular has allow a rather nasty aspect of American society to rise to the surface and be open about their nastiness. This means that people on opposite political spectrum cannot see eye-to-eye at all. This makes compromise even worse and less likely to succeed. +We should really do more for our veterans who come back with traumatic experiences. They do so much for the country, but they barely get the care they need when they come back. How rude of our president to make little of their situation. He has never and will never be their own shoes. He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth with no pity for anyone. +I can't begin to imagine going through that night. The recollection from the survivor is horrifying. I cannot fathom the thoughts and emotions of those who were there trapped for hours. The loss of so many makes it easier to become desensitized to it, but hearing the individual stories makes it so real and sad. +Russia claims bombed UN aid convoy was 'escorted by terrorists A UN aid convoy that was bombed on Monday night was escorted by a "terrorists", Russia has claimed in response to accusations it was behind the deadly attacks. Moscow has denied hitting the UN convoy, which was bombed as it delivered food aid to opposition-held parts of Aleppo on Monday night, minutes after the military declared the end of a ceasefire. The strikes, carried out by either Syrian or allied Russian warplanes, hit Syrian Red Crescent trucks as staff members were unloading aid in Urem al-Kubra in Aleppo province. More than a dozen were killed including Omar Barakat, the organisation’s director. Pictures shared by activists showed burned bodies next to a UNHCR badge. Russia's defence ministry relea +In my opinion, the girl mentioned in the article is just plain stupid. She shouldn't be taking selfies in the first place while driving, not only to mention that she was topless just so her boyfriend could get a look at "the goods." While you're driving, you should be paying attention and not playing on your cell phone because you're putting the lives of others at risk. +The modeling industry is very different than the rest of the world it seems. I read an article that male models, even the best ones, are paid a fraction of what female models earn. I guess this is because a lot more money is spent by woman in the fashion and personal products industry. The article says more men are grooming themselves and it's starting to bring wages for male models slowly up. I guess that's just business. +Now a days crime rate increased and now no safe for Muslim religion on USA, the american's doing something fishy and wanted. on New York city A Muslim woman’s clothing was set on fire while she walked down New York City’s Fifth Avenue, the police suspected a man who is standing with lighter and who ran away. +This is a sad article. Some many things are unknown for those born outside the country. It is always unfair that others are able to get deported after spending most of their lives in the USA, especially those that came at a very early age. Also US parents that adopt children should be granted us citizenship. +I can't believe what a nuisance gold fish can be. The fact that they can cause so much damage to an environment and have no natural predators is crazy. It makes you second guess flushing the fish down the toilet as it may survive. It's hard to believe that they get so big since they are usually just little fish in a small tank. Also it's weird that they travel so far considering we usually just see them swimming in circles. +I'm just in shock at what I read. All these migrants attempting to make a better life for themselves ironically met an untimely and unexpected end. We must think about all these poor people who are forced to flee and find better lives. We must learn to accept them instead of having them forced to survive. +I had no idea that Zika was discovered in 1947 and that there was an outbreak in 2007. As far as I knew, it was only the very recent outbreak that Zika was discovered. How wrong I was. It was actually really heartening to read this, because I want to start a family in the next few years and I was practically twitching with anxiety. I tend to get bitten by a ton of mosquitoes every summer no matter what I do while my husband doesn't get bit at all. And what about global climate change pushing things like this further north? It is good to know that it comes in and out of viral "fashion" and that there is a herd immunity aspect to it. Maybe I can put down the mosquito shotgun for now and aim for a slightly stronger spray for my clothing. +I'm glad that she let her customers know right away, that was very responsible of her. There's so many scammers out there and people who try to rip people off you can never be too careful. I'm always real careful when I order anything on the internet checking reviews and everything because I've been ripped off before. I ordered a handbag and it wasn't anything like it was perceived to be online. +So sad. Why is it that the social media giants can quickly shut down conservative speech, but cannot get a handle on these "suicide groups"? Mental health needs to be taken more seriously in this country or any country. With mental health not covered by a lot of insurance policies, suicide and depression will continue to be problems. I feel for these kids. I know what it feels like to feel depressed and hopeless. But anyone that preys on kids in these conditions needs to go to jail. It infuriates me. +Trump is a completely terrible president. Don't you agree? He's done nothing for the country, it's no wonder that he's gone down so far in the polls. anyone who supports him better comment so I can unfriend you right now. It's ridiculous. If you support him, you support racism, homophobia, xenophobia, divisiveness, and hate. +People love to go and see animals and experience them in the wild, especially in their natural habitats. You have to stop and think how this can be affecting these said animals. Public access to wild animals in their natural environment can drop birth rates and even cause death to the animals. They can become endangered and some people even go as far as to hunt them. +Global warming is real. The effects that is having on the polar bears will soon have the same effects on us. The research is showing that the bears are having shorter seasons of breeding and hunting. The ice is melting at a constant rate, but there is already a 7 to 9 day shift on the b time that they spend on the ice. They do most of their hunting on the ice and that how to meet their mates, so it is very important to them. It may not seem important to you yet, but as the Ice melts it will not only hurt the bears it will hurt you too. Rising sea level will hurt people like you that live in coastal areas. I hope you change your mind on how you feel about global warming and the melting of the ice. Our actions may have an affect on the polar bears and I believe we should think about it. +After reading this article on some of the federal prisons, I am extremely upset about the treatment of prisoners in these facilities. The way that the guards are treating the prisoners are literally inhumane. I understand that the prisoners are convicts and felons and really deserve to be place in prison as their punishment, but there needs to be accountability for the actions of the guards mistreating them and basically treating them like animals. Prisons are about rehabilitation or at least they should be, but in this article with the countless reports from prisoners about very distressing and disturbing situations I can't fathom to understand what goes on in the minds of these guards running the prisons. We seriously need to do something about these conditions. +I still don't like Kim Jong-un, but he may be starting to realize that being cooperative and living peacefully is a better way of living and leading, rather than the aggressive, threatening leader he is trying to show us in the past. We may never know his real motives, but as long as North Korea cooperates and be a productive nation, then a lot of other countries will help them in times of need. +My amazement with the acts of random humans never ceases. I often question how it is that I, another random human in this mixed up shit-hole we call "Planet Earth", can have unlimited empathy (to the level that I won't even squash a bug) and other people will go out of their way to run over an animal crossing the road. Humans can be rather sadistic and disgusting individuals. Every single day of my life I hear of some crazy story about someone beating something to death. +I am shocked and saddened by this. What a sad and terrible tragedy. I feel so sorry for all the victims and those affected by this event. I can't even imagine how devastating this must be for them. What an incredible catastrophe. My thoughts and prayers and best wishes go out for all the many people affected by this tragic catastrophe. I hope that everyone stays safe for the foreseeable future. I am still in shock. +This situation I read about concerning refugees fleeing to Mediterranean countries such as Greece and Italy is sad and concerns me. Clearly the conditions in their native countries have gotten to be so unbearable that they are willing to risk their own and their families' lives to try for a different life in another country, with no guarantee that life there would be an improvement. Its difficult to understand. Life must be so terrible in these countries due to horrendous governance, which I suppose is something difficult for the typical American to picture. I'm glad that we live in a country where there are relative freedoms and the individual and his or her family can live independently and get their needs met and wants. Living in fear is no way to live. +Wells Fargo has seem to hit an all time low is the company satisfaction and moral. The super giant bank seems like it does not care about the well being of its employees mental health. Mental health in the work place is very important for a long and energetic life. It seem like this bank doesn't even care. Employees have noted that there have been thought of suicide and hurting themselves as a result or the work load. +All of you know that I love birds. This article was hard for me to read because of that. Wind turbines are killing a lot of birds, including eagles. It's really very sad. It makes me feel awful. I am all for wind turbines and renewable sources of energy because of global warming and coal, but this is awful. I don't want these poor birds to die like this. Read this article and you'll see why. +You know, the world has progressed so far in the last few hundreds years, that it is slight off kilter that we allow the disappearance of goods and services to ensue. Is it always the fault of big business and government to allow things to go wrong as the case with diseases coconut and the potential that they cannot be saved. Are we not smart enough to ensure that before something disappears from the face of the earth, that we find a way to correct it, protect it, live with it. What happens when we run out of coconuts. Nothing bad will happen but we need not exploit things just cause we can. +I don't know if you ever owned or read a copy of National Geographic magazine but there is something interesting that has occurred in the news lately. It appears that the little Afghan girl, who was made famous on one of their covers, was arrested for trying to cross into Pakistan. She was trying to enter as an unregistered immigrant instead of a refugee. The Pakistan government wants to have her arrested. I mean afterall, she's just trying to do what's best for herself by escaping a land that is overrun with various terrorist groups and warring clans. I'm not sure if even the UN can provide her the assistance she needs. What it really comes down to is a matter of trying to get out of a bad situation in favor of one that is much more promising. I really think this is unfair to me. +Hey, I think that you should check out this article. I feel bad for the citizens down in Mexico City and South America. They are going through some troubled times and America is barely doing anything to help out with their situation. Those children do not deserve the life they are going through at the moment and I believe that we should do something to make them feel like they are proud to be apart of their country. +Global warming is an issue that has been brewing for some time and seems to be getting torn in all directions as it is not a grey issue but a black and white issue meaning it is either happening or it is not. It is hard to see which side has the more valid argument over the other since everyone involved is so passionate about their side of it all. +I bring you sad news today, my friend. A male wolf member of the Huckleberry pack has been slaughtered. How can they do this without consequences? This event happened in Montana. I have heard similar stories in that region of wolves being gunned down, especially from helicopters. It makes my heart feel heavy. I know you will feel the same way. I am strongly considering giving a donation to the Center for Biological Diversity because they are fighting on behalf of wolves to stop this murder. It was so cruel because the male was simply wandering for a mate. He didn't deserve what happened. +No need to read this article for my fellow animal lovers. Its just sad and kinda infuriating. People are just worthless shits. There really isnt much else to say about this. It was a preventable accident that didnt have to happen but did anyway because of people's thoughtlessness and carelessness and probably for fucking financial reasons as well. +Drunk driver I’m guessing. It is horrible. I hope he rots in jail. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers. It’s not fair that he gets to live. He took the lives of a mother and her children. I can’t imagine what I would do if that happened to my family. Life is so precious. It can be taken away so fast and so randomly. +I certainly feel bad for people having to live in such horrible conditions. However, I also feel bad for the regions that these refugees are going to. It has to be a huge strain on these countries to accept large numbers of homeless that will just depress their economy. It is a tough situation and I can see both sides of it. +I don't understand what I read here. The students were hijacking buses? What the hell? Regardless, the local police should not have turned them over to a drug cartel. I'm sure they are probably dead by now, but I support the family finding out what happened and get justice. They were kids, they didn't deserve to be killed for this. +I have not heard of this story, but wanted to see if you knew anything about it. I know we were talking the other day about being worried about getting stuck in a situation like this because of all the recent shootings. I think this story was a real eye opener for me, because it shows just how easy something like this happening would be. I feel that what you said about mental health and paying more attention to the youth is really another central point to this story. This story made me think even more about owning a gun and having a open carry permit to keep safe and be able to protect my loved ones and family. +Hello, I have just read this article and have to say that it was a very good and interesting read. It is about the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and they discuss how smoking should be banned in all parks, zoos, and playgrounds to reduce the chances of children growing up thinking that using cigarettes is normal. I can see why some might say that this is the last step before criminalization of the product and consumer. +Talking about Donald Trump is so depressing at this point. I wish that article had a little more about climate change in it, which seems to be the current biggest actual crisis of his presidency, but for some reason (horrifyingly) that topic divides people.I want to hear from people who have voted for him and who's minds have changed. +The research team from Australia’s University of Queensland said the Earth has lost nearly 1.3 million square miles of wilderness. They’ve defined wilderness as an area with no human development. Dr. James Watson of the University of Queensland in Australia said globally important wilderness areas are completely ignored in environmental policy, and much has been paid to the loss of species. Without any policies to protect them, they are “falling victim to widespread development,” he added. Dr. Watson also revealed that humanity has one to two decades to turn things around. To date, the world has a total of 30.1 million km2, or around 20 percent of the world’s land area, that remain as wilderness, with the majority being located in countries in North America, North Asia, Australia and Nort +It's interesting that Hughes was denied entrance at first - he had claimed that Muslim guards worked with the terrorists, but later retracted that and apologized. Might have been a bigoted knee jerk reaction. It is nice that these bands came back to honor those lost in the attack. I bet it was very emotional to be there. +I dont really have feeling towards the article i just read. This article did not really interest me in the slightest. On the other hand i do feel like any one that is associated with bin laden or that any one that is as sympathizer or a terrorist should be indicted and charged with acts of terrorism. +I just recently read an article about the drought out in the West. I had heard about the lack of water supply in California but I hadn't heard anything at all about the suffering in Nevada also. It seems that lots of Nevadians, especially the Native Americans who own land there are in trouble from the lack of water. With everything dying, it is difficult for them to keep animals alive. Is it also causing problems in families. Who would think that lack of water would be the cause of violence, abuse, and neglect. Such a sad article. +Hundreds of people marched through the city, disrupting traffic and spray-painting graffiti. Authorities reported instances of vandalism and assault during a rally that organizers had billed as peaceful earlier in the day. In other parts of the country, spirited demonstrations on college campuses and peaceful marches along downtown streets have taken place since Wednesday. –– ADVERTISEMENT –– A mainly peaceful protest by about 3,000 people ended in Los Angeles early Saturday with about 200 arrests for failure to disperse after police broke up the lingering demonstration. Hundreds joined a Friday afternoon “love rally” in Washington Square Park in Manhattan. +Why do people think they can just illegally enter a country? The article sounds so sympathetic and bias. Why do people act like coming here illegally is not breaking a law? "They haven't broken any laws!" Yes, they have. You break the law when you enter illegally! What the fuck! And you got Liberal scholars defending immigrants, repeating that nonsense of, "They don't break any laws!" What the fuck? As a Mexican, I am appalled by other Mexicans defending this nonsense and seeing Mexico encourage this illegal immigration shit. Mexico needs to fix itself so that it can house people that won't want to run away from it. Fuck Mexico, they have ruined a lot of lives and they are not held responsible. Quit being politically correct about Mexico. Hold them accountable. +To make sure that others are becoming a known way with how others are going to perform, with how others are going to be and how the people are being shown with how they're being done. To make sure that I can be done with how it can be done with how it can't be done. It has to be with how others are doing and making sure that has a lot of things, which make others understand with how their message and be shown and be helped. +Hey, did you read this article? South Korea always seems to have something going on. 26 were hospitalized and 29 were treated at the scene. It seems like more and more often this kind of thing is happening. There has to be a better way of getting points across without injuries. It's crazy and really unnecessary to cause harm for this. +Well I just read this ridiculously long article about someone who would take vacations with their family I think. The person just talked about some of their trips, and talked about how vacations and travel in general can expand you as a person. I agree with this claim, and wish traveling could be a little cheaper. +I just read a really, really long article about the outrageous use of torture by our government during the never-ending, so-called "War on Terror." Our tax dollars have been used to torture detainees (some of them who have been proven to be entirely innocent) which is a direct violation of international law and the US Constitution. Those who suffered this brutal treatment are now experiencing long term physical and psychological problems. The government has stonewalled and tried to keep the details classified. +Since you moved to Anchorage, I’m sure you’ve been aware of all the unsolved homicides that have occurred. Just wanted to say “stay safe”. Hopefully, that guy that shot at the police officer the other day and whose gun they say was used in some of those unsolved cases, was the killer. If so, his reign of terror is over. How sad that those people died for what appears to be just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I just don’t understand how someone can take the life of another unless their own life is being threatened. Who knows though? The killer could be mentally ill and think that perfect strangers ARE threatening them! Anyway, keep your eyes open and be careful! +Okay, I live by the Arkansas River so I know about snapping turtles. All this guy had to do is move to another spot and the turtle was not going to chase him down. I'm sure the guy must have been near a nest or something if the turtle tried to attack. Still, should he be charged with a felony? My Granny Jones used to make turtle soup out of the snappers they fished out of her creek. I guess the difference is he wasn't killing the turtle for food...But, a felony? +It's a little bit troubling that these teachers would be forced to leave because of political tension. It's not right that they would lose their jobs and their homes. There should be another way to resolve this issue. It's good that people are protesting this and they should be. Teachers play such a huge role and it will not be good for the students to be in the middle of this. +Passing this article along to you because I know you will think this is absurd. Gay men are not being allowed to donate blood to the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. Isn't that crazy! Apparently, outdated rules put them at high risk for HIV and they can not donate for fear of spreading HIV. This is super discriminatory as HIV is not just found in gay men. People instead should be appropriately tested for HIV. +I just read a very sad article on the elderly that are stuck in Aleppo, Syria due to the war there. Apparently, 200,000 people are unable to get out due to the government's siege of the area. There is a decreased access to food and resources for long term medical conditions are scarce. The elderly are having to sacrifice their well-being for the well-being of their children and grandchildren. The war needs to come to an end soon, before there is more suffering by the people of Syria. +I can not blame people for leaving. Living in an area that is prone to natural disasters, like an area that is below sea level and near a coast, is a bad idea. It is bad for the government of Louisiana, but you can't blame these people for getting out. And, of course, there is nothing that they can do to stop them. +Trump refuses to take a salary from the government for being president. Well he is rich so $400,000 is probably nothing to him. Its saving the government but that would probably be the only smart move hes made since hes been in the white house period. Im not a Trump supporter but I like the idea that he chose to save the government money. +Although coal kils I did learn that coal is important for baseload energy generation, coal plants are safe and easy to maintain and the fuel can easily be transported and the residue disposed of. Coal (with varying qualities) is an abundant resource, available to many countries within their borders. Uranium on the other hand requires a lot more work and safety precautions before reaching a point where it can be used as nuclear fuel.India is unfortunate as usual to be on the short end of the stick. +To show with how it can be done and understanding with how others are making sure that I'm not making sure, which of these things are becoming worse and how it's not being told with how the private message isn't being shown. I believe that it can't be how my friend is, because it's just not important and with it being bad, it's just not really good. +I really like Kate and she is an amazing actress. It sucks that she and her husband after so many years have decided to call it quits. America has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, which makes me feel that love is harder to attain today. Although I am a hopeless romantic and I feel that not every coupling has to be condemned to such a fate as Kate, Len and most Americans have to endure. +Just came across an article that involves shootings and people being killed. The story is about a white person in his 50's if I am not mistaking that was bothered by the loud music that was playing in a Durango by some black teenagers at a gas station in Florida. There was an argument regarding the music and some exchange of words. The white guy shot the 17 year old black kid 6 times. He was convicted for life with the possibility of parole after 2 years. He was denied. These situations are complicated and they are happening quite often lately. There should be a limit on many things, and one of them should be the guns. There should be a stricter gun control . +how are you drake I hope you are enjoying your new life and your stay in new york, I hope you enjoy this new stage of your life now that you are working as a journalist I hope to see you soon in a big television network or read your articles in the biggest national newspapers I hope it's good for you, my friend, see you later and take good care of yourself +Im shocked at the possibility, and now at the direct knowledge that the opiate crisis in america not only affects older people (adults), but also very young children as well. Opiate overdoses are sad and brutal but the same thing for a child stirs shock and sadness within me to think of the reasons it occurs and that could certainly be prevented. +There has been uprisings in Ethiopia. Looks like many people aren't happy with the industrialization and foreign investments taking place there. People had axes and sounded like a pretty serious event that may continue. Foreign investors are taking notice and may rethink their investments there or in the future. Really don't think of foreign investments in ethipoia but I guess there is. +This is a terrible story, but we can't go so far as to blame an entire religion for the actions of some. We hope what happened to Paris never happens again, but we simply need a bit more security and people with their eyes open - not attitudes against an entire religion or people. Consider these unfortunate ways of rallying countries behind one cause of peace. +Polar bears deserve the respect they deserve. They do not deserve to be treated the way they are now. There's no reason to kill these animals and it disgusts me that humans exist just to cause harm to them. I hope one day there's a collective effort to stop the growing genocide of these gentle and humble creatures. +What a legend, am I right friend. I have never really got into Lenoard Cohan much but I realize hard work when I see it. This man is a legend in his own rights. Books, poetry books while still an undergraduate. This man did it all. Did you know he was afraid to sing really and hated being in front of all the people at first but obviously he got over it eventually. That makes him so relatable towards me. I feel pretty sympathetic towards the family, they lost a great man. I am glad he made so much music cause his stuff will live on forever. Thats why I wanted to be a rockstar, to live on after I die. +i was reading about this article and got caught up in it because of the main topic when it had started, it began talking about all of these massive shootings that have been going on around the country. i felt like that was the main idea and discussing the murders in the united states i feel like they could have posted the differences between the states and other countries around the world as well. its free writing but i think it makes americans look bad. +i was reading about a dad who lost his daughter in the Charlie Hedbo attacks in Paris. it was touching. i mean, it was dark, him talking about losing her and those feeling, as well as those of other people who lived it. but his story touched me. he was talking about all the notes he recieved and how there was such an outpouring. he wrote a book, and he's healing. nice to see theres some form of recovery after something so awful +Getting old is sad. I hope they pull through. But, many people never reach 86. So, I can't feel too bad for them. They also probably lived a life many of us can only dream about. This might sound wrong, but I will probably forget about this in 5 minutes. Life goes on. I've already spent more time thinking about them than they will ever think about me. +you will not believe the crazy article i just read. Let me tell you about it. The article was about a man who had killed himself after killing his wife and the main thing that was being questioned was "why did he have to die?" What??? I don't understand why they aren't looking into why he killed his wife since they don't know. Its pretty easy to speculate why he killed himself. I just don't even know what to think about this article. +Hello Friend. How are you? How is your family? We had some time without contact, we should avoid that and always communicate. Of sure where you live this that I am going to say to you is already news but, friend, you must take care of you and your family please. I do not know if you found out but I read in a digital online newspaper samples of violence in Philadelphia, I could not get out of my head that you live in that place. Apparently a person who was armed shot in the stomach to an elderly man and another person who was accompanying him. One of the reports I've heard from the police is that the crime weapon has not been found, which makes me suppose that until now the police have no idea who was, and neither the clues to catch the bad guy. The police do not know anything so it means t +Please hug your loved ones because they may be gone at any moments of time. If you were in an argument with any of them please reconsider what has happened in the past and let it go. Life is short and we all have only one life to live on this planet. We should all cherish each other and enjoy life to the fullest. +This is terrible and really solidifies everything I feel about the racially tense issues going on in america right now that are just fueled by our current president. No one should ever have to be a victim of a senseless act only because of the type of person they are. We are all equal no matter our religion race anything. We need to really open our eyes up and realize there needs to be more love in the world. +It seems like the premises of this arguement is so shaky. Just because Russia and Poland may have had tensions for a while, it does not justify that they assassinated the guy. I mean, if everyone just assumex their enemy is the result of their misfortune, they will just be creating false tension with no real purpose. I understand that he is upset for their lost, and that this was avoidable from bad weather and pilot control, but still. +First of all, I guess I'm being too naive in my thinking that the KKK no longer existed. Also, I cannot see that this had anything to do with Trump, himself, but more some radical group trying to tie themselves to the Trump Campaign to make him look bad. I would not be surprised if this was "fake news" drummed up by the Democratic party in order to smear Trump. +I really feel bad for the Yemeni people. They were already unfortunate enough before this civil unrest. Now it has gotten worse and too many people are dying. I really pray that there is some order and that peace comes to this country. I feel for the family members of the the sick, wounded, and dead. +This is totally unsurpising for the UAE. The laws are usually lenient in these extreme cases though, which makes this occurence a strange one. There is some ulterior political motive at work here. This woman's misfortune is being used to advance some goal most likely. I wonder what they're up to. What do you think? +I just read an article that outlines what Obama did to help the "poor" compared to what Trump wants to do to take these things away. Obviously, the poor are going to have a much harder time under Trump's administration. I think it goes without saying that I hate this guy and I can't believe he is our president. I am counting the days til the next presidential election. If these idiots vote for him again, well, I won't believe it. Although, I didn't believe he would be voted in in the first place either. It is just sad that our country is taking ten steps way way back voting in this guy. +Mexico is disturbed by our current President Donald J Trump. Their currency Pesos dropped a lot when he was elected. Trump wants to build a wall between the two countries borders as well. The Mexican government seems very apprehensive about our new glorious President. Their economy might drop due to the building of the wall and lowering of all the immigrants trying to get into the U.S. by crossing into our borders. +These type of events of bomb explosions and terrorist threats are extremely dangerous and should be taken very seriously. People are just going around for their day and they don't really know what could happen to them and these type of incidents are very tragic and hurtful. The security measures in the United States should be more careful and should check anyone that is suspicious and make the country a safer place than how it already is. +I felt sad that the turtles are fading because of the habitat temperature rising annually. We, as humans can help I think by trying to not contribute to the increase of Carbon Dioxide consumption, we can stop global warming and try to help t he sea turtles from going extinct and so our children and grandchildren can see them in the future. +Hey, this article really shows how people can be compassionate in even the hardest places to do so. It's really an inspiring thing for them to do to go in and save these animals even in the midst of an ongoing conflict where they could have come to harm, as well as the animals. Also important is the situation in Gaza, and other conflict zones, makes it rather difficult to maintain a humanely run zoo, and have veterinarians on hand in case the animals become ill. +I cannot believe that the women in Trump's base don't understand that they are electing men who continue to ensure that they remain subservient and demeaned. I understand the whole "traditional family" structure, but this is ridiculous. Averting your eyes to abject misogyny because you want to win is appalling and disgusting. I just don't understand. +Ugh another big fight in Edinburgh. The city seems to have all kinds of problems like that. Plus they are kids! Where are the parents when the kids are out there fighting and attacking people in the street. Its just disgusting. I'm just happy that their victim wasn't badly hurt, but unless these kids face consequences they will just do it again and again. I think their parents should be held liable if their kids don't stop acting this way because it is obviously the fault of the parents for failing to take control of their kids. +Seriously, what's wrong with this guy! Who throws an animal to the ground for no reason. What a jerk. I hope the judge throws the book at him. He doesn't necessarily deserve jail time, but I'm thinking a hefty fine as well as many hours of community service. Sea World should file a restraining order from this guy as well. +The story about a woman theat was thinking of places she had been before and the terrorist attacks that had taken place. the thought of being in a place and having to worry about someone trying to shoot or inflict harm upon others is disheartening and makes me not waant to go out in public anymore for fear of my life. +Ugh - can you believe this story? First - why not just go to the doctor? Don't be shy, it's your dick we're talking about. Then, why insert a chopstick SO FAR THAT YOU COULDN"T GET IT OUT. Holy crap, that sounds awful. I am totally shocked to read this and can only imagine the pain - but then again, he did bring it upon himself. +Wow, it is pretty sad to see a happy family be devestated by a preventable cause. I send my prayers out to whomever was in immediate relations with the family. This makes me be more grateful for everyday life because i really don't know when my last day will be. I hope the fire department workers are emotionally well, because i know it can be distressful to see these thinga happen +This is really a moving story and I could see it being motivating for a lot of women. They can realize that anyone can be at risk for cancer. It doesn't matter whether you are a favour actress or an ordinary person. It can be devastating to families and often affects them in many different ways. Such stories should be more accessible to give people hope. +The Chicago district has shutdown about twenty five percent of there public drinking fountains. They have found levels of lead that are great in this area. It is believed that about one out of seven children have levels of lead in their system that the EPA deems too high. After the outbreak in Flint, I can see for their concerns. +It does seem silly that people in committed relationships are still affected by the donating ban, but I can also understand why such a ban was put in place. The trouble with anything is that when you try to protect some people, others rights seem to always be infringed and we're forced to decide which offense is greater and more important. I don't see why someone can't be tested, found to be clean and then give blood but I can understand why especially in an emergency when things can easily get overlooked the ban is a good idea. +What I learned about nature is that they cannot be predicted. Nature can look beautiful in one instance and can kill you in the next. Take a look at this shark incident. poor guy was play a game with some buddies and lost his life for no reason. Today you are here and tomorrow you are gone. Try to live as long as you possibly can before some shit comes along and tries to take it away. +It is so sad to hear about the poor victims of the train derailment. I feel that these types of accidents could be reduced if proper maintenance and planning are administered more carefully. When using mass transit the last thing anyone should be thinking about is "Are we going to die this time". When you travel you want to have fun and you hope for a great time. These types of tragedies should be scrutinized by the governments where it happens frequently. +I think the article is a bit hard to read. It is about the environment and El Nino and how they interact. The article was also about pollution and how the environment is changed by certain chemicals in the air. Because it's a science based article, it's a little hard to understand what the conclusion is. +Oh my god... I can't even imagine the fear those two poor boys must have felt. I can only hope they did not see it coming. How disturbed must one be to see this sort of thing as the only way out, the right thing to do? The pain and loss this family is feeling is probably only compounded due to the conflicting feelings of someone you love committing such an atrocious act on others you love, whose lives were just beginning. Poor babies... I do hope they didn't suffer. It shows that complaints of domestic issues should be taken seriously, by everyone. It states he was under investigation/being sought for domestic violations. How did he even get his hands on those boys? It's so sad. +You have what amounts to a horrible murder case in a rich area of Manhattan. Usually in a case like this police struggle to come up with a single suspect, but in this instance, you have two. There is no lack of evidence either. The police found a tremendous amount of evidence at the scene. Did they collaborate on the murder? If not, which one did it? The police will have a hard time with this one. +Hey! Did you hear about the elephant stuff in Africa? I know you care a lot about the environment so I thought you should see this. There are some countries that are for the poaching of elephants if you can believe it. Some more rural communities say that the animals harm their crops. I've never heard this side of the argument before! I'm not saying I agree with it, but we're over here in America and have a way different perspective on the issues. It's interesting to see how different things are over there. +Man, dont you just worry somtimes about how we got here? Its like I always knew this country which I love so much, was uncover still the most raciest place. The win of Trump just made it so much easier for all his ignorant like mined follows to treat people of color and some women, not at there equal, but as people who dont matter. Its sickens me to think about all they have done to people of color the most. Its like we are in 1960 again. +This is such a sad way for this actor to have to go. He contributed so much to his field, and he deserves a smooth, peaceful exit to life. I really hope that he and his friends and family will be okay. I know that it can be incredibly hard on the family to deal with these types of diseases and physical issues. Wishing them all the best. +Was this really Neo-Nazi fucktards? Or was this a left-wing attempt to incite minorities and drive them to the polls? Why are we not past this crap? Ridiculous. I love a lot of things about being Southern, but this crap drives me nuts. Who does this? Can we bring back the stockade? Tar and feather? +There are no words for how much I ignore Trump and his antics. It has made me numb and lose hope in the whole system. I no longer feel anything loyalty for America or its system. I think it is all a sham and no one should have to feel like that about their own country where they pay taxes to live and work and breathe. +You know I don't do politics and here is the reason..... "Moldovan Presidential Candidate Criticized For Being A Single Woman — And we thought U.S. politics was strange at the moment. Moldovan presidential candidate Maia Sandu isn’t married. And apparently that’s a huge problem for a lot of people, including her country’s leading religious and political figures." The press and political zealots have nothing better to talk about than if a presidential candidate is married. Seriously...if she were a he we would hardly be having the conversation. I would hazard a guess there are much more pressing issues to be debated. +That is nice. Isis is using Chemical Weapons against us now? What is the world coming to, and how much longer are we going to put our military out there for this? Especially now that they are being exposed to chemicals that can burn the skin, and due some bad damage. This doesn't doesn't seem right at all. +Some people are just disturbed. Everyone is going to point to mental illness in something like this, but I fear that when things like this happens, it gets easier and easier just to point at people and call them mentally ill. I fear that eventually we are going to get to the point where you can classify someone as mentally ill by the crowd. Just finger pointing. I feel for these victims and the victims of crimes in the future because we spend too much time making excuses and pointing fingers rather than dealing with the problems at hand. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/val_labels.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/val_labels.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2b676f24bc533c22d15474d86624c99a84ca0981 --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/val_labels.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +not distress +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin +distress bin \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/val_text.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/val_text.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c7aac995b1dbe0dea79ba2e6621f006b1c69711b --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#distress_bin/val_text.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +Here is another upsetting article I am sending you about a fire and a family.

The parents and the children got out safe and they didn't die and they didn't get maimed or even scratced as far as I can tell but their two cats died and they lost their home. I am a cat owner and they are always "skitished" and afraid so my first thought is how terrified they must have been and then how awful the children must feel. The horror of imagining your pet burning (though they probably died from smoke). The children will not understand and it will take awhile to forget. +The artical also Trump campaign was unprecedented in its dishonesty; the fact that the lies didn’t exact a political price, that they even resonated with a large bloc of voters, doesn’t make them any less false. No, our inner cities aren’t war zones with record crime. No, we aren’t the highest-taxed nation in the world. No, climate change isn’t a hoax promoted by the Chinese. So if you’re tempted to concede that the alt-right’s vision of the world might have some truth to it, don’t. Lies are lies, no matter how much power backs them up. And once we’re talking about intellectual honesty, +I have come across an article about the civilian casualties in Afghanistan. The war is such a terrible thing. Small children are dying just because of some military operations, i.e. some grown-ups cannot negotiate and agree on resolution of the disagreements. My heart aches as I read that burnt children corpses are tended by mourning relatives. It must be unbearably painful to exist in such pitiful condition in such a poor country and on top of that to lose your children. Life is so unfair and cruel sometimes. +It is known that colonoscopy saves lives, but the preparation can be so unpleasant. I am so happy that researchers are working towards making it more tolerable so that more people will undergo the procedure that can save their lives. I am happy that many different options are available: not all involving colon cleansing (e.g. X-rays), that there is a dietary advice to minimize the discomfort (which food to eat before the procedure), etc. So, the person’s quality of life, their well-being in the short term is taken seriously into account. +I don't understand how people can look at stories like this and still claim that "guns don't kill people, people kill people". If guns were less available and less prevalent in communities prone to violence, then confrontations between people would be far less likely to be lethal. It needs to be more difficult to obtain a firearm in this country. +This was heartbreaking to read. I can't imagine what it's like to leave the house every day not knowing if you will come back, or of living in fear of letting your children leave the house to go to school because they might not make it home. Civilians should not have to fear for their lives when they're just trying to get through the day. It sickens me that the US has participated in strikes that lead to such consequences. +It feels like this is a bit of a lie and them just trying to fear monger and use GMO's. Grass and other things will survive..global warming simply means that we have too much pollution and it affects EVERYTHING. REDUCE POLLUTION and chemicals and we won't have such an issue. This article is simply scientists trying to make us sicker with more chemicals. +I am not sure what I just read. It seems to be about some sports event which I care little about. Sports are not my favorite thing and I don't know how anyone could lose sleep over a sports event. Much more important things in life. I also am not sure how to write such a long talk based on a very short paragraph about sports. +hey my best friend Joseph, how have you been? Do you believe this? There were thousands of females that left work in Iceland and went to Austurvollur square in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik to protest, there is discrimination against women cause they get paid way less then men do. Sucks we are still living a society where woman are not created or treated fairly. +I had to read another article with zero formatting for a survey. This one was about war in the Middle East. It was pretty depressing to read. Religion makes people do such horrible, hateful, stupid things. Apparently kids just pick up explosives, people get their heads blown off, little girls die for no reason. For what? Because someone's imaginary friend in the sky is slightly different from their imaginary friend in the sky? Ridiculous, disgusting. Imagine what these people could have accomplished if they dedicated themselves to knowledge instead. We could be on other planets, we could live for thousands of years or more. But nope, we'd rather hate and murder each other of something as stupid as "God" or "Allah." +We are living in a world that ha problems left and right and sometimes I can't help but to be sad because so many people and animals are suffering.Rivers are drying in some places and ll the fishes are dying while some areas have flash floods that destroy things and kill people.This are end times and am saddened all the time by such issues. +Another Muslim attacking Americans right here at home and you hardly hear or see anything about all these smaller attacks happening to regular people every day all over the country. And of course, they chime right in with excuses and the "don't judge us all" when they do nothing to stop it. They don't even condemn it at all, which really telling. +I think this is a bizarre article. I am not sure if there are air pollution problems in Sweden. This seems to be like an incomplete study. I would be okay if they took the angle that more densely populated areas are likely to trigger mental health issues because that has somewhat been proven in studies in mice. Using air pollution as a reason for mental health issues is weird. +This is such a non-story. Every day people are dealing with divorce and custody issues. This unfortunately has become a common problem. Generally speaking a story like this is sad to read or hear about but these are celebrities. Who cares about their problems? They are no more special than anyone else. People who get caught up in celebrity custody battles need to get a life. +You never know when a disaster could strike, and often it seems that they are the most unexpected and inopportune time. It's especially sad when you don't expect it. A whole family was lost in flames, including their family pet. Their house was turned to rubble and ash. You should always take the time in your day to appreciate everything that you have because you never know what could happen at any moment. Make sure to always be appreciative and caring. +Dear C., It's so weird how little I know about the food I eat. Just read an article about bananas, the kind you buy in a supermarket, which are apparently called Cavendish bananas and are expressly considered "commercial". Apparently, commercial bananas are under threat due to their lack of genetic diversity, making them prone to fungal diseases -- another variation, "Big Mike", went the way of the buffalo in the 60s for the same reason. I am not certain about the suggestion that wild bananas be used to produce new variations, tho. I have a hunch that this would drive the cost of bananas up, which is concerning. It might be possible in someplace like the U.S., where we have money for R & D, but I worry about how this would affect people in poorer countries. +It is sad that they cannot stop poaching. All wildlife deserves an equal chance to live freely on this earth. They should not be hunted down as trophies. I feel pleased that the security forces are trying to protect wildlife. I am also happy that rhino poaching is a crime that will help to protect the noncancerous. It hurts to know they hunt the animals just for their horns. That is sheer cruelty, not because they cannot talk but they do have feelings and should be allowed to live wild and free. +There should be a class action lawsuit against the company putting out dangerous products. They are liable for any injuries they have caused. People should be given restitution for the damages they have suffered. I am glad Kylie is speaking out against this and hopefully she can prevent further injuries to unsuspecting consumers. +Trump and Putin talk about Syria in pacific terms but then Russian warships bomb Aleppo, the bombing said to be for "show." A show that is destroying the city and its people. This is really outrageous. At least we are getting some reporting about it, even though it's just frustrating since we can't really do anything, and Trump is looking the other way. The Syrian problems seem likely to drag down the world for years to come. +My feelings and thoughts regarding the article I just read, is what I want to sit down and compose a brief message to you, in regards to it. I think that the Greenhouse Effect is highly over-rated. I find that the forces that oppose and are against it, has a strong point. As well, those in favor of it is also right, and just to want and seek and work towards ways that would be in the best interest of our lives and our environment. I believe it they would not show any interest, then whatever the harmful effects would only increase. Those in opposition, who feel that it's just an umbrella word to funnel monies in areas that are not needed. That believe Mother Nature and the natural state of how our Earth and it's environment works, are also somewhat correct. I wish each would meet halfway. +I am writing to you regarding the floods in Louisiana, and all the displaced residents. I try to put myself in their position, and wonder what would be my hearts desire as to a viable solution. If it would be more beneficial to relocate to another area, where I can then begin to rebuild my life, and replace that which was destroyed. However there is an underlying disadvantage to Louisiana, as a whole, if in the case so many would want to leave and relocate. The State is in a very difficult and decisive moment, given what they are faced with. Especially in the areas of unemployment, on average when someone is having problems finding gainful employment, they will move to another location for work reasons alone, and nothing to do with a natural disaster as Louisiana is faced with. +I am writing to you in response to an article I just read about Nevada and the water supply. It is of a truth, as the article points out that the news media primarily only follows what happens in California, and not Nevada. Which is the driest State, and in need of attention and assistance. I'm impressed with Verna Brady, 86-year-old resident there. Who cites she would rather move forward, than behind, that she, although an elder with many childhood memories, would rather adapt to what's required for today, than harbor on what use to be. That's a large statement, because when it comes to tribes in America, a lot do not to be displaced, or relocation, creating emotional and psychological problems are the results. However the present state is also causing more abuse factors in the family. +I'm not sure how to feel about this. We really do need to go green, but at what point do we call it green when it kills so many animals? I'm a little aghast, even though I know science needs evidence in numbers, that they are wasting money on figuring out that species that typically migrate are *gasp* being killed in places other than where they are from. Put that money towards developing something that stops the problem. We need green energy like wind and solar, so let's find a solution to make it so that we don't keep losing what we're trying to save. +I recently discovered a few articles that I believed to be quite interesting. The first article talks about how people argue that smoking should be banned in public places so that children would not imitate them. I personally don't have an opinion on this matter; I don't have children and I'm not a smoke either. The second article disturbed me a great deal. It talks about the work of a food inspector and it surprised me how dirty some stores can be. It really makes me wonder if I should continue going to that place near my house that does not have a perfect score. +I just read this article about how ISIS are doing dehumanizing acts upon former law officials. It disgusts me how they do what they do and are not being stopped. I believe that every nation in the world should rise up and stand against ISIS. They should no longer be able to continue to do what they do on a daily basis. +Darrell Issa is considered the " mini Trump" to many voters. To my Republican friends who support this candidate I just have a few opinions of my own. First I would say Issa never receded his support for Trump after the Infamous Hollywood Access recording. For somebody who preach's morals its kind of hypocritical. Mr. Issa has been motivated by fear of political repercussions more than his constituents’ best interests. He is now trying to distance himself from Trump because polling suggests that supporting him is not in his best interest for reelection. This guy has no morals and should not be supported for his constant flip flopping. +The Russians are always being provocative and trying to show force especially against the United States. There dangerous ways almost cost one of there pilots his life. This is yet another attempt from Russia to yet further distance themselves from NATO and to show they fully support the murderous Assad regime. +As much as I love dogs I must say this was totally the owners fault. The rule was the dog needed to be on a leash. The woman did not follow the rules and the dog ran over to a stranger. The dog scared the stranger as is expected. I have had many big scary dogs running towards me and wasn't sure if it was going to attack me or be nice. The man got scared and shot the dog. Its sad but the man did not know if the dog was going to attack him. +I just read about a car crash in Prince Georges County, near Clinton. It involved three vehicles and it happened at the tail end of rush hour. It said that one woman was critically injured, but I wonder if the passengers in the other two vehicles were injured. Maryland drivers suck. I avoid anywhere near DC since the roads are not conducive to safe driving. +Man this news story is really crazy and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Just warning you that the content is kind of disturbing but it's so scary that things like this could happen to just anyone walking down the street! Feel free to share with anyone else in Australia; I hope that poor woman is okay. +I found this article and wanted to share it with you. Very disturbing and odd results from the 2016 presidential campaign demographics results. Very surprised to see so many Lantinos voting for a dude who is so blantly racist.I think all the Black people who voted for Trump are going to see that they were uninvited to the family barbecue next year as well XD +This guy that I just read about seriously cannot be trusted. He was going around acting like an apartment belonged to him when it did not in actuality. I wonder will he be punished sufficiently. I doubt it. He will probable just strike a deal and that will be the end of it. He needs to be publicly shamed. +It is unfortunate that Venezuela seems to go through so much as a country due to politics. I do not know why the United States of America will not be more proactive in helping this less fortunate country. A lot of people complain about Chavez, but that seems to be when the country was the most stable. +The gun issue in the United States of America is becoming a joke for the entire world to see play out. Apparently, as anyone can see, guns are causing more harm than good in all communities. Perhaps since this fatal shooting involved a cop with possible mental issues it will put the spotlight on both issues. I will not hold my breath though. +The hydrogen is the poison gas.

I feel for those displaced families. It’s defintiely a scary situation for all those involved. Someone should step in and put a stop to this. The United States or UN can do something. We should send aid. +I agree that this election is stressful. There seems to be a lot of tension between parties. People are worried about what could happen if Trump wins. I think all of the racists will come out of the woodwork. People won’t be comfortable. As a minority, I think things will feel different. People aren’t scared to post when behind a wall on social media. +I’m so tired of Republicans. They never compromise. They want it their way. They never meet in the middle or half way. The government is a joke and can’t get a thing done because of the divide in parties. Democrats are willing to meet in the middle but it doesn’t matter because conservatives will only have one way. +Global warming is really serious. Sometimes I think, is this a good time for having kids? I don't want my kids have a chaotic world, full of adversity and contamination. Also, I think my nation is in "control" for now, but future seem different. People now don't care about being correct and helpful to everyone, a lot of people is dishonest and disloyal. We need a society that we can trust. Our world is extremely corrupt, I think this can be change if we gave enough education to all generations since they are kids. +Why am I so ignorant when it comes to politics. I just reread an article 3 times over to try and figure out what it was talking about with Trump and jobs and discrimination and racism by the end of it all three times I felt like I had read gibberish. Is that how politics are for you or do you actually understand it. All I understand is that I don't agree with Trump I don't agree with his Antics I don't agree with his policies. I'm not sure if he's selfish or just a moron right now. How do you feel? +Hey I know you are busy but I wanted to share something that is laying heavy on my heart. The nigerian paper is reporting of mass rape done by the government. Women and children were raped by policemen, soldiers,camp leaders and vigilante groups. This makes my blood boil. How does this make you feel? What can we do? +I really didn't know Leonard Cohen that much growing up, only listen to a couple of his songs, wasn't a big fan but It's tragic that he died, to be fair its a good way to die at an old age and died while asleep, painless and nothing that hurts him. He also said that He was ready to die, so lets take that in for an account, that he was prepared to go. So he died peaceful. +Corals around the world are dying and especially corals in the Great Barrier Reef. Factors that contributed are the increase of temperature due to Global warming and Humans destroying them.The articled stated that half of the Great Barrier Reef corals are now dead from 2016-2017. That's only a year. Imagine swimming with no corals, no corals means no fish ecosystem to look at. +It's always sad to hear about someone(s) dying especially there are children involved, luckily only adults were killed according to the article and the children survived but it's emotional, physical, and mentally hard for the children to adapt to it. Maybe the adults were there parents and watching somebody kill your own family members is heart-wrenching. My love and prayers go out for the kids +It is really sad the way that people only see one side of the story of the Afghan war. We only see things from our side of the pond, and we see the good , but not all of the bad that we do, as a country. We tend to think of things, in generalities, and lump groups of people who live in a common area, into one pile of terrorists. There are plenty of people in Afghanistan who are against eh taliban, and we dont see the damage that we are doing by hitting them with drone strikes. Most casualties in wars are civilians , who had nothing to do with the conflict itself. There are always conflicting stories about the death tolls. I believe it is used to de-escalate our fears that , we, as a country, are doing something that could actually turn out to be very harmful instead of helpful +I just read this article about how Canada actually had school where they would force indigenous people of their land to go. They tried to erase their history , and their language. I always thought canada was such a peaceful country. These people were even experimented on, and the school was still in operation up until 1996!, That is astonishing. I thought, we , americans, were the only ones who forced the indigenous people away, or tried to kill their culture. This just shows you that people are pretty much the same, and pretty much were savages, until recently. Even now though, we still have a long way to go, until we reach a place where everyones culture and differences are celebrated, and not shamed, and destroyed +I never read up much on Thailand, but it seems as if the place might change a lot in the near future. The king died, and the queen is dying. There is some shady general who is taking over now. The people of Thailand, loved their king, and he gave them a sense of stability, in a crazy political climate. They mourned the former king for a month, and now the queens death, may follow very soon. I am glad, though I never think about it, how lucky I am to be in a country with some "sense" of stability, and not ruled in constant flux. +I blame reality TV, for all of the crazy people doing anything to get attention these days. Apparently a man was bit by a snake, after trying to take a selfie. People today are so interested in themselves, and selfies, and social media, that they often miss the real world around them. This man was literally bit by a snake, and still posted the selfie, and was more worried about how many "likes" he would get rather than his snake bite. It sets a bad example for kids, all of these "challenges" their doing. and, walking down the street , paying more attention to their phones, than the road. +Did you see where Republicans are trying to stop black people from voting. It's like its 1800's again in the U.S. and the rich are using the Southern Strategy to stop likely democrats from voting, using the divide and conquer strategy of trying to turn the people against each other instead of who they should be against. rich republicans. This is fascism, naziism, and we are going to lose our democracy if people don't wake up and get in the streets and demand these people be stopped. It's literally a coup of our government. +When you are a police officer there is a high chance you'll get shot, this kind of thing happens because people have an easy access to guns, if there was a more strict gun control, less officers would die during their service, but well, the government prefer guns over people's lives. poor officers, but they had a risky job. +I feel bad for the victims of this murderer, they did nothing wrong to be attacked during their everyday life, they were innocent. I'm extremely angry with the neo nazi murderer, he was an egoist and I'm mad with the gun control laws that allow people with "metal health problems" to easily purchase guns. +This is another example of the racism in this country, the officers again use extreme deadly force against a black person, just because he was black, he was not a threat and yet they shot him without hesitation. We feel more insecure with officers around than safe, and still they can kill people and get away with it. +As I was reading our local newspaper last night, my eyes came to rest on several reports of yet another handful of the farm attacks and -murders South Africa has become known for over the past years. Farm attacks and -murders which see journalists having to write these reports with words I cannot even begin to imagine the sickening feeling of. Words like “boiling water poured down 87-year-old farmer’s throat for hours on end,” and “his wife and two teenage daughters were tied with barbed wire in the bathroom, after which they were repeatedly raped, burned with a hot iron, and stabbed with a sharp object.” +My tears and rage will do nothing to ever change the mind and heart of a person who is, I believe, morally beyond the point of return. But I cannot stop these tears from pouring down my cheeks as I wonder what the f**k is wrong with our society. P.S. Since the report on this cruel incident is only available in my first language, Afrikaans, and on the website Netwerk24 where one has to be a paying subscriber to access their news articles, I am including a short video uploaded by the young farmer herself. +The first time I tried to commit suicide was the most painful. Two months after starting my first year of highschool, boys started treating me like a prostitute. My “friend” at the time told everyone that I enjoyed the rape. That I wanted it. I was called a whore and a slut by my peers. Older boys attempted to have their way with me. I started acting like one. I sent nudes to anyone that would ask. I believed I was only needed for sex, that I wasn’t worth anything other than my sexual appeal. I was 13. I was self harming any chance I could. My wrists, legs and chest were full of cuts. Eventually self harming didn’t help anymore. I didn’t want to live anymore. The thing that pushed me over the edge was when my “friend” invited me to a group chat with her minions. They talked about me like +I always hear about Syria but I never knew how bad it was for older people. Some of them did not want to leave and now they can't get out at all. There are barely any medical services at all. Hardly anything to help with all the old age medical conditions that show up later in life. These people don't have enough food. They are scared they will die alone. I don't think many people have thought about this. I am so heartbroken for those people. I wish I could help them. Syria is such a mess. I pray somehow this can all come to a end soon. Too many deaths have occurred. These older people never thought they would have to live like this. Everything was normal until the war for them. I think more people need to know about the older people living in Syria. They are just left there to suffer. +I can not believe Canada took so many native people and put them in their "proper" schools. They took away their language and their heritage. And on top of all that 6000 died! Plus many were abused! This is horrible! I am so upset by this! I mean seriously? How could they do that! And the worst part is that was still going on all the way up to 1996!!! That is insane! And they only apologized in 2008. Way too late. I mean the harm they did to these children is massive. They need to make up for what they have done! +So there were the guys who were basically mad the government made local land into a wildlife refuge. They went as far as getting a militia together. They had guns and were watching. They had a whole group of them involved. The problem is they shot and killed someone. Can you say it went to far? I do. I think the whole thing was a bit much. I mean they just took over the federal land. You can't just do that no matter what you stand for. +I had no clue Oklahoma was getting so many earthquakes lately. Apparently due to the oil companies injecting waste it is triggering a lot more earthquakes. They aren't massive ones, but still 5.0 is decent. It caused some damage to buildings and stuff. People even at the oil company felt it really well. It shook everyone up a good bit. But its crazy that its becoming the norm there! So crazy. +There are so many instances of shootings and mass murdering happening around the world today and the example brought up in the article like the Orlando shooting just shows how there is a culture these days where people just don't care anymore. More and more people find it okay to take the lives of innocent people for their own screwed up agenda, whatever that is so that they can show that they have control over the situation. I think a huge problem here is gun laws and there should definitely be some sort of change that occurs. +I feel like the shipwreck amongst other violence that occurred in this article is pretty sad. Like other articles that I have read, it seems like there is just so much death occurring and there is not too much coverage over it. The amount that we do see don't seem to even scratch the surface as there are many other acts of violence and events that occur that take the lives of many other people from places like third world countries that don't even get broadcasted at all. Sad to see that our world is slowly spiraling into this chaos that just continues to grow. +so i just read this article, a very interesting one. you all need to read it to understand what it is really about. there is a way the author puts things in a very simple way for everyone to understand. i would encourage you all to find it and read it. it will be worth your time. +Hello, I read the article ,and I feel like they both have reasons for feeling the way they do, If Russel was offended and felt like she was a threat he could have called for management or someone from the crew to remove her, he should not have attempted a hostile removal. She had to have been upset by Russell's rude comment, and I think that was a hurtful comment regarding her career.I do feel bad for her regarding how she was treated. +I thinj it is our responsibility as a first world country to be providing assisstance to these area in brazil and Columbia. Zika Virus could prove to be an epidemic and that is a global issue, not just a country. Giving them access to proper medical training to spread better health practices and health education to the population could be the most effective thing to preventing more spread of the virus +Being interested in sports and health together, this is a solid article showing the impact eye injuries have on different types of sports. It's somewhat common to see these injuries present themselves in basketball, baseball, and sports without protective gear. That's just the nature of sports where consequences happen. +I am a little bit on the fences about how to approach immigration and the Mexican border problem. This article talks about different issues President Trump has had his hands in on and how some problems are arising. I think the countries need to stand alone and work on their own issues so they have home build strength. Seems like a lot of compromising is not taking place. +This is one of those articles that can really make you feel paranoid. Like, what if suddenly there is a red squirrel in my backyard and it has this sickness? And now I might have it. You know? Stuff like that. In the other hand, it just shows how little we know of these world. Of the illness, the animals, how it affects us. So much to discover +Heck no, this is one of those topics that I could talk about for hours and hours. It is so stressful the fact that animals are traded like that, just unbearable. People who do that, should be the ones in the cages. They are not even humans, they are monsters. And of course they have to find a way to teach the countries what to do when they face this type of situations. And they better do it quick. +It brings me great sorrow to tell you about a horrific incident that left two children without parents after a mechanical failure at an amusement park. It is truly shocking and disturbing that this could have happened. Thee two kids lsot both parents and they watched them drown which is disturbing to think about. +Robert Vaughn passed away but I don't really have anything to say about him. people die every day and he was in his 80s. He was in some famous movies and seemed dto have lived a full and happy life. He wasn't in anything i have ever seen and i never heard fo him before. maybe ill check out his movies someday since he was fmous. +Even though Donald trump condemns these actions by his supporters it doesn't stop the fact that he incites this sort of behavior with his comments and his proposed laws. Trumps supporters, well a decent majority love his call of racism and bigotry. It is bno surpise that his supporters are the epitomy of racisma nd there behavior is not surpring. +Hate seems to be increasing in this country. I just read an article that hate crimes are going up. I don't know what's going on but people can't seem to handle themselves and use restraint. People are becoming too short-fused and trigger happy on attacking others with hate crimes. I hope things get better but the article didn't seem too optimistic. I guess the more we talk about this kind of stuff the better so it doesn't get ignored. It's an important issue. +In Moldovan, the lady running for president is being discriminated against in a very public way. They are saying just because she's not married, she is unqualified to lead the country. They care more about her personal business than her politics. It's a shame they are acting so backwards toward her. It makes me want to cheer for her just to spite them. I hope the rest of the world catches up to the idea everyone should be treated equally. +I think this article is really inspirational. I didn't realize how much food we waste and how inefficient we are in this respect. I would like to change the way the world behave but this would be a big undertaking and I think it may be too big. There are small and big things that we can do with our daily meals and meal planning that can help with this problem of food waste but I think it will take more time and money to implement it. And im not sure what percentage it will get us towards 0% waste. If it gets us less than 1% more efficiency in how we use food, than it may not be worth the effort, and we may need to look at other ideas. Combating food waste could also lead to an increase it food poisoning since questionable foods in our refrigerator are thrown away as a precaution. +Hi! What do you think of this? I know you hate the pipeline as much as I do. Wonder if this would have a chance of working? We all know money is more important than human life, unfortunately. I'm skeptical, but then again, nothing has worked so far, so why would this? I don't know what to think. I don't have any actions I could take at this point, anyway. +I think in this day and age, there is no reason to be poaching tigers, or any other rare game for that matter. I've discussed this with my friends before, the poachers are generally low status people, trying to feed themselves, and they're selling to the highest bidder they can find. Even if you jail the poachers, more will pop up out of desperation. One day, we'll look back and see all of the greed killing rare animals purposefully, rather than the crappy way we move them out of their territories naturally as humans. +I have very little sympathy for Turkey, it's a country that has been playing every sides of the field it can for a long time. It is so split, because of this. I feel for the people, and that's why there are so many split groups, not counting outside terrorist groups trying to gain influence in the area. I feel nothing for the country, only the people. +To all those with family members deployed in Iraq: God bless your military members who are currently trying to free Mosul from ISIS control. May they rescue and help those poor civilians that ISIS has taken as human shields. May both the US and Iraqi troops and those being held captive be kept safe. +We’ve been huge supporters of Ashton Kutcher’s campaign against human trafficking so I wanted to let you know of a situation I just became aware of. We usually think of human trafficking involving the kidnapping or sudden disappearance of a person. I just read about two pre-teen girls in Burma who were sent to work to help their family. Everything was legit at first, but as time progressed these poor girls, children really, were denied contact with their parents, tortured, and forced to work for no pay. My heart broke for them and for their parents. What’s even worse, the police ignored the parents’ request for intervention with no success. How agonized the parents must feel that they sent their daughters into this situation. +Wow.. You have to check this out. There was a horrible accident on a family type Water Ride in Gold Coast Austrailia. 4 People were killed..2 women ages 42 and 32 I think, also two men, 38, and 35,. This is what happened...2 people were ejected from the raft and the other 2 were trapped inside..they all died. The park was shut down. The thing that makes it wierd is that the water feature is like a tame family type ride..Definately things families would go on together. Makes you think Right? +I didn't realize there are still a lot of Hatians who are suffering badly since the quakes years ago. It seems a large amount of them have made their way to Brazil and central America to try to get work and get a better life. This has turned out badly for a lot of them. They have been victimized and injured and killed by gangs and terrible conditions on their way to try to get to America. When they do make it they are often given a court date to appear at some future date. Because of immigration policies many of them are suffering. +President Trump is so stupid for pulling out of the Paris deal. Being that our Country is held highly among-st the rest of the world, you would think that we would be considered with the environment just as much as everyone else. How can he believe Climate Change isn't real How is he allowed to just pull us from this deal we agreed to? It seems pretty stupid to me that he can just make these changes on his own free will. What happens later down the road when the impact of these decisions are felt and the earth really does have an Angry Summer? +Since I have no children and don't plan on having any, I don't really have an opinion regarding the ease that women choose to have cesarean instead of natural births. I don't think my opinion would be well received and I myself know I have no experience in this. I do believe, however, that a woman should look at all available options and decide what is best for her and her family. +I can't stand these Jenners and Kardashians. But I have to give them credit for making a living from doing nothing. I guess that is the new American Dream! THey are producing a product that people want to consume. Isn't that sick? The crazy thing is that this family is going to become the normal and accepted family environment. +This article is very tiring. I am tired of hearing about the corruption of politicians. There does not seem to be a single good moral politician. It would be impossible to win and position of public office without corruption. This is just another example of more corruption. Why do the biggest low lifes decide to be poloticians? Maybe because they are the type of people that like to lie and cheat there way to money and power. +Michael Moore to Democrats: I told you Trump was going to win — On Wednesday, filmmaker and activist Michael Moore penned a "Morning After To-Do List" for Democrats that has, as of Thursday morning, been shared more than 180,000 times, liked more than 350,000 times, and commented on more than 18,000 times. Moore also says Democrats must fire the pundits, pollsters, and members of the media who refused to let go of a narrative about the election that proved to be incorrect, force aside any Democratic members of Congress who aren't ready to fight, and remind everyone they meet that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. His No. 4 item, however, might come as a surprise to Democrats who are posting their own status updates on social media about how "shocked" or "stunned" they are at this outco +here regular army checkpoints serve as a reminder of the serious threat Boko Haram still poses. But despite efforts from aid organizations like ours, there are still 2.2 million people living in unreachable areas in northeast Nigeria, with no contact to the outside world ― and no guarantee of safe passage for aid workers. We don’t yet know the full extent of the crisis ― the Nigerian military and humanitarian organizations like Mercy Corps are still trying to push into these parts of the country ― but based on what we’ve seen so far, we fear the worst. “The carnage becomes more glaring as we gain access to newer areas, and it has become a struggle for those of us in the forefront to comprehend how to help the thousands we come across who need our support,” said Michael Mu’azu, our humanita +I was just reading this article and thinking about how lucky we are to not have to experience such things. Even when major weather events or natural disasters are close by, we have the ability evacuate and miss the real damage. I've never had to deal with anything like this and I think it would be so difficult--I wonder how the community will come together to support each other. It is so sad that so much destruction can happen so quickly and totally upend the lives of so many. +This is such a terrible thing to happen to so many people. I wonder how a town can meaningfully bounce back and rebuild their lives. I don't know what I would do if this happened to me. Move? Work on recreating the city? Turn to the government for hope? It just seems so overwhelming and impossible. I feel so grateful to have avoided such an experience. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help. +i think this article represtens us in the fact that all ee see in our fracebook timeline would be posts about the elctions or posts about politcis every where instagram and every single social media that we use is filled with these posts and they are just not necessary for us to look at everyday they flood our timelines and they just influence people to become the worst and very hostile in the comments why do we encourage this talall we do not need to be seeing this every single day +We are only given one life. I think that everyone wants to live a long and fruitful life. I know that sometimes we all have to do things that we do not want to do. There are certain procedures or policies that we need to follow to be able to maintain a certain life, and lifestyle. I know I don't really enjoy going to the doctor. +Mosul is Iraq's second most populous city.a major military campaign launched by the Iraqi Government forces with allied militias, The intensity of the fighting and the airstrikes in eastern parts of the city is high many people are killed their bodies hang in the middle cities not giving to the resident. The coalition strategy was reported to be to encircle Mosul completely, after which Iraqi troops would advance into the city-center. Pro-government fighters in the south of Mosul were battling pockets of ISIL fighters and snipers as they tried to reclaim the village of Abbasi. +E rate government funding program across country to connect the school from internet and It hits the hot buttons of education, technology, and good jobs at good wages in one shot and spreads federal monies to vendors and consultants in every corner of the country.Students achievement in 2013 bring up the fundding 2.3 billions budget to 4 billions. +there was this article about a subject I no nothing about and really could care less but here I am messaging you about it..................hope you find this very very very very very very very very entertaining............. I know I have, so what else have you been up to.............i hope you find this pleasant to read...... +This article was really inspiring. The woman in it goes through so much but she still tries to persevere. I think it is admirable to not give up in the face of such obstacles. But I imagine it was really difficult for her to do! Imagine being in pain like that... it's horrifying. What do you think of this article? Isn't it inspiring? +Check out this article about the zika virus. I did not know that there was so much going on with it, or that it spread so much. I also did not know that it can spread through the ways they described in the article, like sex. Definitely information we need to know Make sure to read up on this and be careful! +Trump and his administration are horrible people. I can't believe (okay maybe I can) that they would behave like that. There is nothing wrong with LGBT individuals. We need more representation in this country and politicians need to stop pushing their backwards beliefs onto others. LGBT deserve to live just as much as everyone else, and they deserve their freedom too. +It's really sad that it seems that so many people are ignorant when they purchase pets. People should be more dedicated to animals and the environment and if they don't feel prepared to take care of a pet then they should just, not get one. This is why goldfish are invading Australia. Invasive species are extremely problematic to the ecosystem and combating them is difficult and expensive. +Crazy things are happening in Afghanistan still...don't want to go there anytime soon. Too unstable and too many people getting kidnapped...and that would certainly suck. Not that I would really ever want to go to Afghanistan in general anyway. Why would you want to go somewhere so dangerous? I don't understand. +It's ridiculous that this day in age and for such an advanced country, we can't even get water right. It should be a priority that a basic necessity for life be safe. If we can't do water right, how can we do anything else right? It's a freaking joke. Our whole governmental system is a mess. And yet, no one does anything. +Wow, killing someone in public? That takes some serious nerve. I don't particularly know whether she is guilty or not, but for it to be played out in the media isn't fair. While they may not have the same protections that the accused have in the United States, they should still give her a new trial, something quiet, out of the public eye, maybe even outside of the country, where she can get a fair trial based on the facts. If there is video of her spiking the coffee, or any indication that she has had any contact with cyanide, then I say she should get a retrial. +This is an extremely sad story The civilians who lost their did nothing wrong. They did not ask for this war to come to their region. They were mere victims of the misfortune of being born where they were and being where they were when they were. They were no more guilty than you or I. It is extremely sad and disappoints me as an American. +I think this family had more then enough warning and notice not to go into that hot spring area. the young man fell and scalded himself to death while his sister/friend sat there and videotaped the whole thing. i dont understand some peoples logic. what made them think this was ok? what made them think they would be ok and what made them thing that parks put boundaries up jsut because they think its funny. +While I do sympathize with the plight of back people and latest police violence, I think that they are not helping the situation by engaging in violent protests that take even more lives and create a great deal of disturbance in USA! These protests ignite racial tensions but will not bring back the lives of innocent victims. What needs to be done here is clamping tight on the police force-punishing them appropriately and in the harshest of form if they take an innocent life or harass black people for no reason! They need to undergo training and psychological evaluation before being allowed to go out there and deal with criminals! They need to be psychologically stable and clear of racial bias, otherwise they are not suitable for this job! +A well known journalist in the UK, editor for Elle magazine and was suffering from depression for long time and she was found dead and pulled ashore. She killed herself after a long suffering of depression. She repeatedly looked for for professional help and because "missed opportunities" she decided to kill herself. It is hard to imagine someone would be refused this kind of help after so many referrals. The professional mental health services have admitted the error and said lessons had been learned and changes have been made since the tragic loss of the journalist. It's sad that there is such a price needed to pay for changes to be made. +These migrant camps are getting more and more reminiscent of internment camps by the day. For a country that prides itself on being so civilized, I can't imagine how French citizens can accept the treatment of the camp's children and others who remain behind in appalling conditions. Have a little compassion for your fellow human beings, please. +Hello there. I just read this story about a cop who killed a totally unarmed black man and I think it is disgusting. The police has been very biased against blacks lately and this is just another example of how bad things have gotten. I think this cop needs to be sentenced severely so that all other cops can also refrain from doing the same +Is Val Kilmer healthy or not? Seems as though comments keep being made about his health and now Michael Douglas has even said something about him. Although, just because the two worked together on The Ghost and the Darkness (one of the best movies ever!) doesn't give him the right to make public comments about Kilmer's health whether it's true or not. Maybe he doesn't want the whole world to know if he's going through something. +If we think we have it bad having to put up with Trump, think about how Mexico feels. This article puts a lot in perspective, but I really struggle with the quote by the Mexican foreign minister saying that Americans chose racism and hate. Don't group us all in one category. We didn't ALL choose this clown to be president. I understand their fears and stress, but that comment really just rubbed me the wrong way. Hopefully both countries can maintain their ties until he's out of office. +I just read about this Australian hiker that was lost in the Malaysian jungle for two weeks and most of that time without food. He was week but he survived. I'm shocked. I'm happy he made it because to often you hear those stories of a lost hiker and it ends tragically. His friends and family say he has a strong mental attitude, he must. I don't think I'd ever survive that long especially since I don't even know anything about safe plants to eat like this guy must have. Way to go sir. Way to fight. +An agency that I can't recall the full title of just released proof of the fact that the earth is getting warmer. Yeah, it was only a couple of degrees but that's how it starts, right? Something is causing the world, the United States in particular, to warm up. I know where I live that it's seems a lot warm than it was even 7 or 8 years ago. The seasons used to be predictable, but they don't seem to be that way anymore. +it is not new story that civilian were killed in American based operation in Afghanistan and these things happened in wars all the time . there is no way to fight a war without unnecessary human casualty but with proper planning and intelligent this factor can be reduce to a great extend i think but it harder than it look +the war on terror that began with the initial war of America on Afghanistan for the purpose of eliminating Talibaan and restoring order and democracy there but this war has continue for quite some time and has turned the country in ruined . i think its about time we leave that country for good and let them live there life +Friends and Family - we need to lobby for president Trump to take global warming more seriously. As predicted, the temperature may rise in the near future by one point five degrees Celsius. This will drastically change our weather and therefore cause disastrous effects to many, many places around the world. This can all be stopped though if we get on board now! +Hey, I'm sending you something you might find of interest. I heard about this really interesting study regarding the relationship between mothers and middle school aged children. I have to say the findings rang true to me and brought back a lot of memories. Middle school was a miserable time for me as I struggled with some classes and often felt either depressed or angry for no particular reason. I remember feeling constantly stressed over both academics and the challenges of middle school social life with maintaining friendships, cliques, dating etc. +Man is there some issue with the quality of air in India. I'm not sure if I would be willing to take a trip there. There seems to be a heavy smog lingering over the town that has caused a number of respiratory illnesses as well as shut down some schools. I have just read that air quality readings have been taken from some scientists. They found the quality of the air to be like smoking 40 packs of cigarettes a day. Yet, the local media is reporting something more like two dozen. I'm not sure who to believe but either way it seems like quite a dangerous situation to me. +have a friend I wrote a letter for, and gave it to her on her birthday. In the beginning I wrote about how our friendship began, and wrote about all of my favorite memories with her from as far back as I could remember. Our first interaction to when we first started texting and getting to know each other, all the way up to when I wrote the letter. She is really good at always telling me how she feels about me and how grateful she is to have me as a friend. I usually suck at reciprocating, so I took this as an opportunity to tell her what she meant to me. I made the end of the letter forward looking and wrote of how grateful I considered myself to be because she was in my life, and how I hoped that wouldn’t change for a long, long time. +Nicolas Maduro is the current leader of Venezuela and it has led to major issues and divide in the country. The country is pretty much tyrannical at this point and the government is over-reaching into everyone's lives. Reading about the protests and issues going on makes me feel grateful to be out of that country. I really hope the people can oust him and replace it with a better government. +This is sad that a company that is based here in the US and that actually manafucters its products in the US is in debt. More effort should have been placed to ensure company's success. More companies should be encouraged to manufacture their products in our country while also making them affordable and appealing. +This really doesn't seem that much different to me than capital punishment which is accepted in our country. Yes, it's cruel and seems to be brutal but at the same time it could be a good way of discouraging people to commit such crimes. On the other hand a victim's situation will not be improved or reversed because their perpetrator has been harmed in the same way. +I don't know what more it's gonna take for meat eaters to finally get it through their heads that we consume way too much meat. If someone says "plant based" anywhere near them they seem to automatically reject it. Agriculture is the main contributor to the destruction of the earth. It's not like people are preaching everyone go vegan, but drastically reducing your intake of meat would help the planet by a huge margin. For whatever reason, they just can't seem to rationalize that simple sentiment. +Oh my gosh! Can you even imagine this? Thinking of citizens being torn from their homes, tortured, frightened! How could they just blatantly violate people in this way? I suppose it is hopeful that we might learn from this, correct mistakes, but that doesn't mitigate the harm that was done! It also doesn't bode well that protecting the victims now, after the fact, also seems to be in question. The assumption that they were informed of the release of the data, I think, is reckless. Verification that the already suffering victims won't be further victimized is as important as the far reaching implications of the data itself! I wonder why there is no mention of the ramifications to the department either. Just releasing the data is great, but what about investigations and punishments? +Holy moly! It looks as if this trial is getting out of control. I know that sensational stories have a tendency to get tons of attention, but I can't help but think about the victims in these cases. I mean, here is a young woman, whole life ahead, who is inexplicably and disturbingly murdered. There seems to be only circumstantial evidence against the accused and the media is overblowing the story which can really detract from finding the truth! The victim here is being overshadowed by the gawker phenomenon. It's sad. I mean, even the premise sounds... fishy... but instead of talking about that, it looks like it's being sensationalized into some media circus. It's terrible. How can they ever get to the truth if the story is corrupted and broadcast to the whole country? +The fact that so many people still die of smoking deaths is unbelievable. With so much knowledge these days we should be able to educate people about the danger associated with smoking and change this pattern! And the fact that the WHO recommends taxation at 75 percent of retail cost and NO states do this is crazy! +There are all these people protesting on both sides of this issue but where were many of these people at the voting booths?? If everyone who is so against Trump came out and voted maybe we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place!! And all the people who voted for third party candidates know that you contributed to this as well because you threw away your vote! +I just learned about the British banker who killed the two Indonesian women in Hong Kong. How horrifying that we have people like this in the world. They seem like your everyday ordinary person, but it shows you just never know. You always have to stay safe, not take chances and don't trust appearances. +Male models are paid a lot less than female models, which is interesting considering all of the news lately about a "wage gap" that some people believe exists. Each industry has a different set of pay and things and that's fine, you have to look at the individual characteristics when judging whether something is wrong. It's very interesting that this is starting to change though, as male products become a bigger market for companies. +So apparently Russia sent a bunch of bombs on a school in Syria. It killed like 22 kids. Now the Russian government is trying to say it never happened. They even showed satellite images of another place and claimed it was there. Some organization called HRW (Human Rights Watch) had evidence to show otherwise. They even had images of the same type of aircraft that the Russians use. +So one of Mariah Carey backup dancers got fired and banned from the Ceasers Palace. Her ex Packer got super jealous of the flirting between them and went all crazy on him. But I do not know why he cares since they broke up last month after something went on between him and her assistant. They say he did something bad to her but I bet he was trying to flirt with her as well. +Did you hear that some kids in another country are passing out in school because they do not have enough to eat? The school can not do much or wont due to lack of funding. Over 35% of kids do not even go to school because of lack of food causing some effect. That is so sad. I am glad that our government has different programs instilled to prevent that. +Did you hear that the very first female US atorney general died recenty at 78. She was put in under Clinton though so she was probably very corrupt and did a lot of bad things over the course of her career. But she went to Harvard so she must have been pretty smart regardless. She was also the one who got a little boy sent back to Cuba which is just horrible since they are living in horrible conditions with a horrible government that abuses them. +Hearing this news makes me so sick. The worst thing a person can do is to hurt a defenseless animal for no reason. It's so sickening that someone felt the need to senselessly murder one of these amazing horses. It makes me so sad that this happened, and I really hope the culprit gets brought to justice. +Police officers are getting out of control nowadays. I can't believe that there hasn't been more action taken against this officer who blatantly punched a woman in the face without provocation, especially since the entire incident was caught on tape. It makes no sense to me that this officer hasn't been charged with assault in this case. +I wasn't sure how the story would end - I know that emus can get aggressive! So glad to know that the emu was docile and behaving well. It seems like the local officials were doing their best not to excite it, that's gratifying to know. Its actually something of a funny story on the whole. I hope that this story provides a good model for others to follow in the event of another emu intervention. +another case of government not working like it should. one should have effective recourse without having to hire an attorney and spend thousands of dollars to straighten things out. it makes me angry because i know how easily it could happen to me. why people can't do their jobs and/or show some empathy in this situation is beyond my comprehension. i sure hope this does not happen to me or you. +there are too many police shootings. however, being in the police is not an easy job. too many people are in a rush to judgement. if cities would be more forthwright and transparent it would help. why people feel that violence and looting is a valid method of protest is beyond me. i have great sympathy for the police. +it is amazing how little it takes for some people to harm or kill another person. it seems like there is a breakdown or morals in our society. we have become more anonimus and disconected from others where we live, in large cities. with no connections to others some people in our society act out their aggression on others. +It aggravates me that in our modern society leaders are condemned before they even have an opportunity to lead. It will happen forevermore into the future no matter who wins elections from here on out. The issue is not opposition so much as it is the ability to organize against someone anymore. Using the internet, it is quite easy to gather a group of thousands and perhaps even hundreds of thousands to combat against something vile or unwarranted. The problem is Trump wasn't even given a chance. Now that things have played out, perhaps some of those people were right about their hatred or grievances but its entirely unfair to subject any president of our country to this before they have even been given the chance to lead. +I just read an article Regarding a severe problem in the Chicago area with the fact that their public water supply has high amounts of lead traces. Just what I need, another worldly problem to stress about?! Article shook me, as the health of not only myself but my children is of the upmost importance to me. I know, I don’t live in the Chicago area, but the article certainly made me think about the water that I drink every day, and my children drink and then just threw foods that I have cooked and prepared. Even my local town has just posted something on the fact that they need $3.2 million to repair the water mains in the one square-mile town as the water pipes are corroded and near health hazard. I Will be researching this locally. I will also be researching for more info on the subject +I just read a story about a study being done by a new University of Washington that was funded and the satellite data from NASA, that was about the Arctic Polar Bears. It said that the climate change has been affecting the feeding and breeding of these 19 polar bears population. It has been having a negative impact on them. I did not know that a polar bear depends on the sea ice to eat. They can not outrun their prey so the sit at the air holes of the seals and when they go up to get air the bear will capture it to eat. The days that this ice is available to the bears have shortened over the thirty-five-year study to almost seven weeks. The study shows that this is a continuing pattern. I am really worried about the outcome for these bears. It is sad to think they may become extinct. +I just read a story about a black man named Terence Crutcher who was shot and killed by a white police officer named Betty Shelby in Tulsa Oklahoma. She was responding to another call when she noticed Terence Crutcher. The camera on her dashboard showed that Terence had his hands up. It was also video tapped by a helicopter. The officer claimed she felt like her life was in danger. Terence was a good man with a good heart. He was a churchgoer and a father of four children. Hundreds of people mourned his passing. If convicted Betty Shelby age 42 could face 4 years in prison for first degree manslaughter. +I kind of felt a little angry reading this article. I felt as thought this may have been something that was preventable with better infrastructure in place or procedures to check water supplies for such bacteria. Many people lost their lives or ended up, maybe it was passed through their family. It would be horrible to lose someone that you care about like this. +We should protect our environment from now on. I think a lot of wild animals have been put into danger because of human beings. People have put too much plastics into the oceans and pollute the living society of wild animals. It was danger to them if there is plastic around. I wish people will do a better jobs. +An article talking about increasing the deportations of Haitians is one that I feel for those involved. Haiti has been brutalized by mother nature, and the Clintons, and people are trying to get somehwere to survive while the country recovers. The U.S. let's them in to ship them back out and that is a bit ridiculous. It's not a situation where those from Mexico just sneak over and hide from society. These people need help but it doesn't shock me that the U.S. wiould do this in a time of need. Sympathy felt but helpless to do anything about it. +I just read this article about the doom of bananas that made me feel like an idiot. I like to think i am smart enough to process this type of article but the words used just had me lost. I wouldn't bother reading it if you still planned on it. It was informative but i felt like i was reading a manual. +So i just read this horrific article about women in nigeria being raped by the officials that rescued them from Boko Haram. If you don't know about Boko Haram you should really look them up. These poor women have no one to trust. I am shocked by what i read and feel so sorry for these people. i wish there was something we could do that would have real impact on their lives. you must read this article. +A hiker was lost in a Malaysian jungle for ten days. The hiker only brought enough food for one day. He survived on bananas and berries he found in the jungle. When he was found he was covered in leaches, weak, and very disoriented. Its a miracle he survived on his own for ten days in the jungle. There was no cell coverage in the part of the jungle he was in so he could not communicate to anyone or ask for help. +A man has took it on himself to kill evasive mice that have doubled in size on an island. The mice feed on birds and when the birds have babies its like a buffet for them to thrive on. I imagine it must be disgusting to have so many mice doing what they please and destroying other animals. It gives me the creeps thinking about it. +Hello! This is why you follow the rules at our National Parks! This is a terrible tragedy that could have easily been avoided. I was young once, and I did plenty of reckless things. I understand, maybe the boy was just trying to check the temperature. Maybe he didn't believe the signs, or he thought it would be cool to do what no one else has done. His poor sister! To see that happen! To see her own brother boil to death. I can't imagine how gruesome that must have been. I just can't believe they couldn't get his body until the next day...and the next day it was gone! This is a huge lesson for anyone that is young and reckless! +Hello again! Writing to share some things I have been learning about. I read that Syrians and Iraqis are granted asylum in Germany far more often than Pakistanis, and Nigerians. Germany is confronting the task of deciding who gets to stay. If you’re from Syria or Iraq, sanctuary is almost guaranteed. But if you’re from Nigeria or Pakistan, chances are you journeyed all the way there for nothing. This is so distressing! +I rememeber where I was when the Paris attack happened. It was so terrible how I felt and how everyone around the world felt. These terrible people are trying to make us scared to do things we love. But I wont let them win. Im so happy the band decided to go back and give a concert. This has to be a statment for us all. Fear will never win! +I am so moved and jealous really of the people of south Korea. For them to protest there President, who is totally wrong for all she did, is somthing to be admired. I love the spirit of the people to not stop untill she leaves office. If only it was that easy for us AMericans to do the same with Trump. +Its so obvious how much lady periods and pills we have to take are linked to our depresstion and body pains. The chemistry going on in our body is somthing I cant even get ahold of. The pill though is such a thing we need if we dont want to have babies that this time. The after math of it is just a deeper conversation we have to understand so that we dont end of hurting ourself. +If you are wearing contacts for your vision to improve then you should be sure to take them out when sleeping. You can get some bacteria in your eye that will accumulate and might cause problems if you do not do this. I forgot what the thing was called but it might even cause the contact user to become blinded. +The Islamic state is now desperately using human shields to try and deter our attacks against them. This is a strategy that is doomed to failure for multiple reasons, the biggest being the civilians they are using aren't going to tolerate that shit forever, and will probably start resisting and escaping. The next biggest, America doesn't really show restraint when they want to bomb a target and civilians are present. I mean, we generally go out of our way to not blow up the nearby children's hospital, but the second we suspect Bin Laden's cousin is in there 7000 drones start swarming. +And in other news ushering in the apocalypse, Paraguay just mismanaged their water resources so poorly that one of their rivers almost completely has dried up, in addition to a drought. I feel like these types of things are going to become extremely common in our near future thanks to our current President's very uninterested feelings about global warming. We will likely never recover since we have long since not done enough to combat it, and millions worldwide are going to suffer and die as stuff like this becomes a seasonal thing. +From this article I learned about repression of gay rights in Uganda. Gay rights protesters were rounded up by police and taken away from the resort where they were protesting and of those that attempted to resume protesting at another spot, police escorted them away. Gay rights have been struggling in Uganda, where homosexuality is illegal and repressed. +I was reading an article about poachers killing off many elephants because of the ivory trade. One part that stuck in my mind is that in one country, the elephants are protected more than they are in the neighboring country. It is odd that an elephant can literally walk away from its protection by wandering into the neighboring country. I was not aware of any of this. The article somewhat jokingly said that elephants do not have passports. +Hey man did you hear about this Palm Oil Company is trying to threaten to take down the worlds third largest Orangutan populations? This is pretty upsetting for me as I am in love with these animals. They are wanting to cut down most of the forest. This place is in Indonesia and this company is also planning on building a drainage canal from the north to the south side of the area for which some work has already reportedly began. I really wished there was a way we can help and protect this land. You would have thought that this would be an important area that needed protected. I mean there are what about any where from 750 to 1750 orangutan..They're classified as endangered now. +Those native people really dont deserve that kind of treatment its unfair. how can you have people just not speak their own native language? i dont get why they cant just let them live in both worlds and experience both cultures instead of forcing them to be a part of their specific culture. They really need to be spoken up against for this kind of injustice +I pretty much hate all wildlife including squirrels. They should just go blast the little varmint. After all squirrels carry rabies and other diseases even if they say small animals seldom have rabies. Once you bite a human, it's over and you deserve to die. It is kind of funny though these elderly people not being able to get away. Why does everything wacky always happen in Florida. Like 30% of anything strange happens in Florida. Frankly I think some reporter made the whole thing up. Squirrels are not going to attack multiple people. Sure they might on a rare occasion bite someone but not three people. Then again it's Florida so common laws and logic go out the window. ANyhow thought you might enjoy some rambling on some things I read. Take care buddy. Later. +I just read an article where there was a horrible natural disaster. They were saying how the town is a virtual ghost town and workers weren't allowed to go back until they check the building further. Could you imagine what it would be like to be one of those people, I mean to lose everything you have? Things you've worked so hard to aquire just gone? And God forbid a loved one? I don't even know how you would begin to process all of this. +I've seen the Slager video, he needs to be in prison. As far as Tensig goes, that's a tough call. Moral of the story is, don't give a man with a gun any reason to be afraid of you.The traffic stop went the direction it did because of DuBose's actions.I have a hard time feeling sympathy for someone who makes horrible decisions that result in predictable outcomes. +I just read an article about cave divers in Florida who died trying to explore the cave system. It seems like an incredibly dangerous thing to do. I'm not so sure I see the benefit in doing this kind of activity. I feel like they people knew the risks and what could happen if things go wrong. This is not something I'd do myself. +I read an article about the Loud Music Shooter, not sure if you've heard about this case in Florida. It seems like they've upheld the murder conviction for the man who shot a black teen during an argument about loud music being played. It did seem more like murder and not so much like an actual self-defense situation. +I just read a really sad story about a kid who got lost while hiking in Vietnam. You should read it. It's frustrating because he made a number of very basic errors that even the young kids in my scouting group know to avoid. He was alone. He lacked proper gear to survive changes in weather. He did not know his route. When he got lost, he kept moving instead of staying put. He also failed to let rescuers come to him. He could very easily have been stayed if he had made all of these error s and just stayed put. I hope his friend doesn't feel too much guilt over this. It's not her fault but judging from the article, she blames herself. I can't imagine what his parents are going through. My mom is always worried when I go backpacking and she'd go crazy if anything like this happened to me. +Here's another article from the 2016 campaign that didn't age well. Read it and have a laugh. It's pretty ridiculous in retrospect. More of the women they're talking about voted for Trump than Hillary. I guess they never asked women if those allegations bothered them or were important. I know that you told me after the Access Hollywood tapes that you didn't care about that stuff, that policy issues were more important. +This story is just sad and I just feel like there should be something that we can do to prevent killings of wild animals just because they own the earth as well as we do. Just because humans are expanding and advancing in technology it does not mean that we kill and we hunt everything that we see. It is heartbreaking. +what horror this news. in poor little boy of just 2 years of age he fell through the window of his apartment on the 11th floor of a building. The mother relates that I go to sleep with her older brother and this one hour later I climb to the window that apparently was open and rushed into the void crashing with the asphalt of the parking lot. A neighbor found the scene and desperate for horror called 911. +This article is extremely sad for the State of Louisiana. Not only has the state been ravaged by floods leading to the damage of both homes and businesses, but now the economy is being further devastated by the exodus of individuals and population erosion from pre-Katrina years. The state needs an injection of capital to help individuals and small businesses get their feet back underneath them, and providing the foundation of the local economies to not only sustain themselves and thrive. +Man that's tough to read- I remember watching those events unfold and just being absolutely miserable and horrified over it. I remember hearing that they were killing hostages one by one on the news, and just bursting into tears at that point. This article really vividly reminded me of that moment, it's really sad. +It is sad that people have nothing better to do than to get into other people's business. It seems that we are at an all time low as a society and that there is no respect for other people's privacy. This is what I see as the darker side of the internet. It opens the the door for behavior that should not be encouraged in for a safe and productive society. +There are several strange factors surrounding the tragic and fatal event. First, why was there not a sign or caution tape to block off the broken elevator? How was the mother able to walk into it without knowing that it was broken? The other tenant's reports about the condition of the elevators in the past are also alarming. Why was this problem not addressed long ago by the landlord? It should not take such a horrible event to occur for people to recognize that there is a problem with the building and the way technicians are doing inspections. +The thought of such conditions in the slaughtering of chickens is very disturbing. I am by no means a vegetarian, and enjoy eating chicken a great deal. However, the thought of torturing a chicken for slaughter turns my stomach. There needs to be an ethical solution to the slaughtering of all animals, not just chicken. And I believe a universal approach that is easily controlled and monitored would be ideal, but most likely not cost efficient. +Hey, Check out this article about PTSD. I feel bad for these veterans that had to experience this as a result from the Vietnam War. I know someone that has fought in the Vietnam War and he has seen other soldiers being diagnosed as a result of the war. It's sad to see these soldiers go through so much trauma and disgust after the war. With the increasing rate of the mental health issue, it makes me worry even more. +So a man murdered someone over a card being declined. At a Starbucks of course, this is just getting to be ridiculous. Someone gets pissy because they have no money and decide to hurt someone else that has nothing to do with it. The more news articles I read like this, the less faith I have in humanity. +This right here is bullshit. I don't know who wrote this shit article but from what I read it argues that livestock are more a contributor to gas emissions in our atmosphere then vehicle emissions. It spouts some numbers and facts but I can see straight away this is a fabricated article that is completely biased. This is the crap we need to take out of our news. +Looks like American Apparel is at it again and declaring bankruptcy. Ironically they are getting bought out by a Canadian company. I feel sorry for the employees, but its hard to feel sorry for the company since they just dont seem to get it. I think one chance is fair, but when you have to declare bankruptcy again a year later your management doesnt seem to know what they are doing. Maybe the company that bought them will finally get it right. +What a tragedy this is! I feel so bad for all the owners who lost their pets in that situation. Pets are like members of your family, and losing a pet is no different. My heart goes out to all of the people who are effected by this. There is nothing this business can do to bring back the animals that died and ease the owners suffering. Hopefully they never let something like this happen again. +Well, I dont really feel much about this either way. I feel badly for the family of the victim, I'm sure they are devastated, but it's not surprising something like this would happen, given the type of things he wrote, and the climate in the country in which they lived. My thoughts of out to the family. +Although this is bad, I have to admit that it's also rather funny. I do wonder what caused the squirrel to go on such a rampage. Perhaps it felt threatened? Maybe it was abused? Perhaps it got caught inside and out of fear did what animals do - bite and claw their way out. I'm assuming it was the latter reason and this just happened to be an odd situation. I don't think it meant to hurt anyone, I think it was just scared and people got bit because they got in its way. I can't imagine another reason than that. And the people were fine anyway. +This article highlights the fact that we might be going on about our lives, secure in the knowledge that everything is fine, but then suddenly when you least expect it, we are reminded of our own mortality. It makes me want to live each and every day as well as I can, because I never know if it might be my last. Sometimes we think we have forever, but this article is a reminder that each day we live on this Earth, imperfect though it may be, is a gift. +This is an absolute disgrace that it still happens and can happen in America. How are things like this still happening. I get that there has always been murder, and if someone is determined enough they are going to find a way to do this, but for it to happen in one of the most locked down and secured places is ridiculous. I feel bad for the family involved and hopefully their loss will help spark a positive change. +I just read this article about a forest land in Indonesia that could potentially be cut down and turned in to a tree plant. Normally an article like this might not attract my attention and cause me to read any further, but this particular forest land is home to the 3rd largest population of endangered orangutans and if the forest is cut down, it is estimated that 1750 orangutans will die or have to be rescued and re-homed. This is so heartbreaking to me because these are innocent animals, endangered ones at that, that are just living in their natural environment and have done nothing wrong. How can the government in Indonesia think that this idea is even a possibility, never mind the fact it could not possibly be a positive thing because of the negative impact it has on this species!! +Wow! I just read this article about a young boy in China who fell in to a well and was found dead 4 days later. It was SO sad to read this! It stated that boy was helping his dad harvest food when he fell in this well that was only 1 foot wide and that no adults could fit in it to go down and rescue him! Can you even imagine what that father must have been feeling knowing that his little boy fell in this well while helping him and he could not get down there to help him! I just imagine how heartbreaking this whole situation must have been for the family and for the rescuers who spent days trying everything they could to get to him and potentially help him. As a mom, it just makes me sick to think that I could be in a situation like that and do nothing to help one of my babies! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/label_list.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/label_list.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b6bd62de1ea5e1e5f0bbce93bbf0b73c8d5bc4da --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/label_list.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +empathy \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/test_labels.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/test_labels.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..84ec236473b3d562d1113fc5ef3edecf2921b0e3 --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/test_labels.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +5.333 +3.333 +5.5 +3.167 +3.667 +4.0 +2.5 +4.0 +2.333 +1.0 +1.167 +4.833 +4.5 +1.667 +4.667 +4.333 +1.167 +3.167 +4.833 +4.0 +3.0 +5.667 +3.0 +4.833 +4.833 +1.0 +1.0 +6.167 +5.333 +6.5 +4.167 +5.333 +4.167 +4.333 +5.167 +3.0 +2.667 +4.0 +3.833 +4.0 +5.667 +4.667 +4.5 +4.5 +1.0 +5.667 +5.833 +4.333 +4.667 +2.833 +2.5 +1.0 +3.833 +4.167 +1.0 +3.5 +5.5 +1.0 +4.333 +2.0 +2.333 +2.0 +4.5 +2.0 +3.0 +1.167 +5.333 +6.167 +5.0 +4.333 +5.167 +2.0 +4.333 +1.5 +1.333 +1.0 +2.0 +5.167 +2.167 +3.0 +4.0 +4.0 +2.0 +3.333 +3.167 +4.5 +2.5 +5.833 +3.667 +3.167 +7.0 +4.333 +4.333 +5.0 +5.333 +7.0 +1.0 +4.667 +2.167 +6.0 +1.0 +2.0 +1.0 +7.0 +4.0 +6.0 +2.833 +5.0 +1.167 +1.0 +1.0 +4.667 +1.0 +5.0 +3.167 +7.0 +4.5 +3.833 +4.0 +4.833 +4.667 +3.0 +1.0 +6.0 +1.0 +2.833 +5.167 +4.0 +5.667 +3.0 +3.167 +4.5 +3.667 +5.0 +2.333 +3.667 +1.5 +1.0 +1.0 +5.167 +4.833 +4.167 +1.333 +2.0 +3.833 +6.833 +6.333 +5.5 +6.667 +4.833 +4.0 +1.0 +2.5 +5.833 +1.0 +3.333 +1.0 +5.167 +7.0 +3.833 +5.833 +1.0 +1.0 +1.667 +1.833 +1.0 +3.333 +6.5 +7.0 +7.0 +2.5 +3.0 +1.667 +4.167 +6.0 +6.0 +1.5 +1.167 +4.0 +5.833 +5.333 +4.0 +2.667 +3.0 +5.167 +2.0 \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/test_text.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/test_text.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b4bd038c0c426d7153ff1edbfb26d8add7bc20cc --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/test_text.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +I thought the article was quite sad to read and disheartening to hear about the Iraqi people.

So many political scandals unfolded and more continuing to unravel. Many didn't agree with Hilary from the Bengazi investigation and many didn't agree with Trump, but in the end that's just politics. +I've heard of necrotizing fasciitis before. It's really fucking scary to think that just from a tiny little cut you could get a disease that has a high likelihood of killing you. There's also a similar bacteria called naegleria fowlerii that can get into your body from water going up your nostrils and it basically eats your brain. Nature is fucking metal. +It's a shame that we have so many random acts of violence in this country. It seems every other week we have some massacre involving either guns, a right wing extremist or a muslim extremist. I think what they have in common are either mentally ill people or people who are extremist in their world views and religion. +I feel for her.

Life is crazy. I can't imagine what the families are going through. Having to go to or being forced into sex work is bad enough, but for it to end like this is just sad.

It is about how Democrats will move forward in the next few years to get legoslation moving.

It is no wonder that religious minorities in Syria supported Assad. At least he protects them. He probably has committed atrocities, but it seems every side has committed atrocities there. This murder was in Jordan, and even though the Jordanian royals come off as urbane Westerners, there is obviously an undercurrent of extreme Islamism in some of the population. Christians are murdered all the time around the world, but this rarely gets attention in the US media, which is completely corrupt. +The whole "police violence against blacks" theme has been overplayed to manipulate people. The fact is that there really is a problem of police feeling justified in shooting people whenever they feel threatened, but this doesn't just happen to blacks. I can think of four cases off the top of my head where innocent unarmed white men were killed by police. One of them was the recent case where the guy who died was the victim of "swatting". He wasn't involved in an crime at all, but the police burst into his house with guns blazing and he died. And the cop won't be prosecuted. I hope that blacks who care about this issue will realize they are being manipulated and will join forces with others who don't want to live in a police state. +Funny how it always comes down the to the gun and not the person wielding it. People will always be able to get guns, legally or not. the issue is more with society treatment of young men. Too many single moms, too many kids being ostracized and bullied.

Perhaps neither are good, but how do we fix this? +This is so sad. Today I read about a lady who passed away November 6th and had shared many of her stories of her experiences in the holocaust. IT's very sad to think there aren't many people left to share these stories. I remember being in Junior high and hearing someone speak about it, and to think kids these days will never get that.

You'd think all the different factions would finally agree to disagree and move on but instead they just seem to want to keep killing. I understand why since so many different groups want to destroy the other side leaving smaller nations like Yemen to have to defend themselves since the other factions seem to be unable to leave in peace. +Overall the problem here seems to be that overuse of resources in a certain area needs to be stopped.

The fact that we treat Muslims and people of their culture like dogs and terrorist is disgusting and wrong both morally and ethically. The way they are being shown on tv and media is wrong and horrible. Our president thinks that if we ban muslims from the country, all of a sudden our nation is safe. When the fact of the matter is, most shootings that happen in this country, are from Caucasians.

What's your thoughts? +Hi can you believe this? We have to be very careful with this. You never know what kind of damage you can receive in your eyes from having these infections. I would never want to this to happen to me or my daughter. I will have to really take care of my our lenses from now and on to prevent any damage. +I feel like our police force is getting kinda out of control with its killings recently. It's all i seem to hear about on the news nowadays. They recently charged an officer who shot an unarmed black driver when he was outside his vehicle.It's like the police don't even care anymore which is really scary. +This is so sad. Many of you know I use to have a lab. They are often the most sweetest, loving dogs around. I cannot imagine why someone would take out a gun and shoot one. This is another example (there seem to be countless that happen everyday) of why people should not own guns. I know some people will say it is not a person, but this is still another needless murder that occurred because of a gun. +It is so sad and terrible how these alternative medicine manufacturers take advantage of people. So many people believe that these things are healthier or will make them feel better than traditional medication, but clearly they just make things worse. These companies pray on uneducated people and it leads to such terrible outcomes. These people don't deserve these health problems. +I absolutely hate seeing this kind of violent racism in the world. Too many people think that just because someone is different they are less worthy of life than themselves. It is honestly just terrible. It feels like we are seeing more and more of this everyday. Humans really need to come together and realize that we are all the same, and there is not reason to cause each other harm and pain such as this. +This is so unfortunate for the family of this father and son. They were probably just trying to have a nice together, but did not research the area well enough or did not pay proper attention. There are so many things that could go wrong, and in this case, they all seemed to have gone wrong. I feel bad for them. The world can be pretty unforgiving. +i think that mr mayweather should have to pay that money back if he still has the neckless or give the neckless back to the store with a price tag like that the company could really need that money 1.4 million is alot of money for a company not to get. also we know that he has the money to pay for the neckless so im not sure why he doesnt just pay the rest of the balance and not have to go to court and pay all those fees. +We need to recognize that global warming is real and acknowledge our part in it. We as a globe need to take note and work together. The Great Barrier Reef is one of our planet's more amazing wonders and we need to do all we can to protect it, while the Amazon isn't doing absolutely fantastic we've improved the quality and conservation. +It's a shame that we're seeing this sort of rise in violence. It's not shock that after years of the right bullying the left into tolerating intolerance that we've come to this point. People aren't even trying to hide their racism anymore, and they're intentionally making shit worse to justify their oppressive agendas. +How can people take something like relationships for granted? It's infuriating that in a world where I have to fight for the right to marry the person I love and adore and want to pamper and cherish and share a life with that there are assholes out there like this with anger issues who will get in their alleged partner's face and shout. The hate is just mind blowing. +I think timeshares are silly and this article just confirms it. In the article it talks about how hard it is for some people to get rid of timeshares after they have them. Timeshare salesmen are so pushy when you first sign up for one I can't imagine how hard it is to get out of one. I'm just glad that I don't have a timeshare and never will. I'm sure they have some many tiny provisions in their contracts that make them really difficult to get out of successfully. +This is disgusting! I wish that the international community would step up and stop these atrocities from continuing to happen. But no one in the international community seems to care. Its so sad, it is like another Rwanda is happening right in front of us but no one wants to spend the money to do anything about it because it is seen as just another third world backwater. Things need to change before the international order is completely forgotten about. +This is horribly to read about. The sheer number of people dying every day, just trying to escape on boats, is quite alarming. Think about people from one country equaling those people dying in gang violence in major, crime ridden societies - but JUST for people attempting to escape via water. What should we do about this? Open our borders? Is it enough to simply help them get out of where they are to some place safer? Obviously this isnt exacly their fault, especially the kids. But what can we do? Will money help? Probably not. Open borders will. Bring them here and help them find a more peaceful way through thehri own lives. +India Kashmir: The teenager blinded by pellets — Photographer Abid Bhat here describes the life of 14-year-old Insha Mushtaq, who lost vision in both her eyes after being hit by pellets in Indian-administered Kashmir. "I just want to ask the security personnel who fired pellets at me what my fault was," Miss Mushtaq says, as she stands by the same window she was sitting at when pellets blinded her. She has been in and out of hospitals for the past three months in an attempt to regain her vision. Nothing has worked so far, but she remains hopeful. Ms Mushtaq says she wanted to become a doctor before losing her vision. She brings out her text books to show me, and flips the pages though she cannot read them anymore. "I can only feel them now," she says tearfully +Details and information about the past is used to make decisions, as past experiences of feelings influence current decision-making, how people will feel in the future, and if they want to feel that way again. Gilbert and Wilson conducted a study to show how pleased a person would feel if they purchased flowers for themselves for no specific reason (birthday, anniversary, or promotion etc.) and how long they thought that feeling would last. People who had no experience of purchasing flowers for themselves and those who had experienced buying flowers for themselves were tested. Results showed that those who had purchased flowers in the past for themselves felt happier and that feeling lasted longer for them than for a person who had never experienced purchasing flowers for themselves +the trumph had made a huge impact on a american politics. he had made some terrible move on the politics and it had made the other countries to trun on america.after a white supremacist carried out a massacre of black churchgoers in Charleston, S.C., it seemed as though the Confederate battle flag. these were also made some huge impact on the american politics that had made by trumph. But now that explosive and complicated vestige of the Old South is back, in a new — and, to some Americans, newly disturbing context. During President-elect Donald J. Trump’s campaign.When he was still running for president in June 2015, Trump was asked whether or not the Confederate flag flying above the South Carolina state house needed to be taken down. “I think it probably does. +Sleep is very important, and I’m quite sure you know that already. However, some aspects of life–like habits, even smartphones, and stress in work–affect our sleep cycles. A CDC-backed study published in February of this year has found that about a third of Americans aren’t getting enough sleep.Multiple factors affect the country’s snooze patterns, and one of which is routine. Many people, researchers at the CDC say, are not prioritizing sleep.So how can you force yourself to go early in bed? Well, this new research that we’ll discuss might convince you to review your priorities and put sleep above many, because you still can. +Clearly, this was an opinion piece. It is upsetting that so many try to pass off an opinion piece as a news article these days. That is exactly what fake news is. The writer wasn't even trying to hide it. She included "hhhhhhmmmmmmm, hhhmmmm, hhhmmmm" as part of her article. LMFAO. That is when there was not longer any reason to take it seriously anymore. Sure, some of the info in there may be accurate, but the bias overwhelms all. +The article says that- Trump to supporters harassing minorities: 'Stop it' — Donald Trump on Sunday told his supporters to stop harassing minorities, in his first televised sit-down interview since becoming President-elect. "I am so saddened to hear that," Trump told CBS' Lesley Stahl on "60 Minutes" when she said Latinos and Muslims are facing harassment. "And I say, 'Stop it.' If it -- if it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: 'Stop it.'" Trump directed his comments to his own supporters whom said have written racist slogans or chanted degrading messages -- particularly in schools. It was a powerful appeal to a nation ripped apart by the divisive 2016 campaign. Trump's election has left Democrats angry and many minorities fearful about the future. +Hello friend, how have you been lately?, I have some curiosity about an article that I read recently, that helped me a lot, that I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this , for example: that a study published online through the journal Current Biology revealed that in the period of 25 years, half the size of the Amazon, and twice the size of the state of Alaska, has been exhausted. +Hello, how have you been lately? I am curious about an article I read recently, said that an Instagram publication of a mother reached almost 400 "likes" in her account and more than 800 "likes" in the account of the 4th quarter of the Bodies Project. Birth Without Fear also published his photo on Facebook, where he reached more than 6,000 likes., I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this one. +Hello, I have to tell you something friend, I have some curiosity about an article that I read recently, said that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. The next day, a man discovered that someone had painted swastikas in an abandoned store in South Philadelphia, I was hoping that this type of information could be in the article +I have read the article and think that it's a story I have read many times. ISIS claims that the person is part of their army, but there is no evidence that the person was supported by them. It also shows that it's almost impossible to tell whether someone will become a terrorist based on their personality or what religion they are. +It's hard to believe that they would go through with this, but they probably want economic growth and that will need extra airport runways. The residents are understandably upset because they will lose their homes, but will likely be compensated. I do think that politicians that said they would vote against expansion and then change their minds, should be voted out. +Some scum bag is at it again stealing naked pictures of people simply because they are celebrities and he can make money from doing it. It blows my mind the level of shit people will do in order to make a buck. It seems like people treat celebrities as if they are not people at all. People that leave negative comments on celebrity pages are taking it to a new level. People say the shittiest things to each other when they're hiding behind their computer screen. This particular guy took it to the extreme by stealing their private photos. +I just read the most terrible article about war and terrorism, I couldn't even imagine the fear these people are living. They are being forced from their homes by threats of death. The conditions in this area are terrible. They're low on most supplies including food. So prices for everything are inflated to prices they can't even afford. I literally cannot imagine at all living in a place like this. There are so many others senseless killings in that area already, I would fear for the life of my family and myself! +I just read an article about women encouraging other women to get IUD's before Trump took office. They were worried that trump in office will restrict women's access to affordable birth control. They think because the IUD can last for so long that women should get them in soon. I don't think these women need to be out getting IUD's, there are other ways to prevent pregnancy. If they are really concerned, condoms work well. +They should really figure out if these earthquakes are due to fracking wastewater, and if so stop the practice. Politicians aren’t concerned about the plight of the ordinary people though. Fracking companies have lobbyists and money, while the victims of the earthquakes have neither. Ultimately nothing will get addressed unless something catastrophic happens. +Just because someone happens to be a celebrity doesn't mean that their suffering is any less valid than the average person's. We should learn to recognize that as a society, we must come to understand the universal nature of suffering as applicable to all people. One's status in life should not leave them any more open to suffering than others. +He said it would not stop him returning to the field to help save wildlife. Van Niekerk said they were called last weekend to assist a ranger who had caught a poacher near Sabi river. “My colleagues and I, with four Mozambican police officers, were transporting the poacher to the station, which was about 30km away, when he escaped from the vehicle. I chased after the poacher and caught him. I handed him back to the police officer. Suddenly, a mob from the community started moving towards us,” said Van Niekerk. The police officers who were with them ran away. “We, the rangers, were the targets. +Look at this article. Notice anything missing? Yeah, any sources or any kind of backing for these claims OR any sources for the supposed "real estate developers" giving false data. So, watch how well my feelings beat up this straw man I've set up! You'd think they'd have noticed how long Chicken Little has been going on about this and yet still no fallen sky. +What an unfortunate situation--and a total shame that regulations on these conditions aren't more thorough. Of course the reputation of the kennel should be considered suspect now. The article says that the business will remain open, but I think it would be best to close up shop. After a news piece like this, I don't think many owners will be bringing their pets to stay. +It's fascinating to think that these celebrities were fooled so easily by a regular guy. Of course the man's actions are reprehensible, and his jail sentence seems reasonable, but you'd think that celebrities would be more conscious of phishing attacks. Especially since these people gave over their passwords willingly, it's hard to understand the legal precedent for sending someone to jail over this. +I had no idea there is a stunning process when killing chickens, but it makes sense. Unfortunately it seems to not work very well. For all these pieces of convoluted technology being used, no one has been clever enough to think of the solution that we could eat less meat. Certainly it's no secret that animal agriculture is terrible for the planet. Hopefully this will be the next piece in a long line of information pushing us towards vegetarianism. +It's not pleasant to think of these animals being mistreated, but for all the problems in the world something like this seems rather minor. Of course it would be great to ensure good keeping of animals, but there are more pressing tragedies happening much more often to human beings that we should focus on before addressing these issues of occasional animal mis-handling. +Perception of the physical world does not necessarily result in a universal reaction among receivers (see emotions), but varies depending upon one's tendency to handle the situation, how the situation relates to the receiver's past experiences, and any number of other factors. Feelings are also known as a state of consciousness, such as that resulting from emotions, sentiments or desires. People buy products in hopes that the product will make them feel a certain way: either happy, excited or beautiful. Or, they find the product useful in some way, even indirectly such as to support a charity or for altruistic economic reasons. Some people buy beauty products in hopes of achieving a state of happiness or a sense of self beauty or as an act or expression of beauty +Hello friend, It's sad that thousands of hectares of tropical forests in Latin America have been changed from their natural habitat to grow bananas. The rise of different types of diseases that focus on banana tress is alarming. I hope we can find a cure for these diseases before it's too late. I did not realize bananas were a genetic accident. Lucky for us! +Hello friend, This article cracks me up. As someone who hates Trump, I think it's hilarious. Realistically, the mother should've just talked to her son about the reasons she dislikes Trump. Trying to convince him that Trump is a immoral person would've been a better use of her time. What makes me mad though, is that people called CPS on her. People always trying to get involved in everybody's business. +Check out this article. Remember I was telling you the other day about that man from the bank who approached me in the market? He was asking about my savings plan and long and short term goals. He also asked about my mortgage. I bet he has the same pressures as the bank workers in Pennsylvania. So shady! I would never want to work under that kind of pressure. +I like Lena Heady, and, even though she plays one of the worst mother's on television, I can imagine that she must be a ball of nerves over this custody dispute. I can;t imagine having to go through this, especially since the custody seemed to be agreed upon. Her ex husband doesn't seem to be thinking about Wylie's best interest - only his own. If it were me, I'd fight tooth and nail to kepp my son in the same country as me. +YOu hear about the environmental cost of using coal, but it is very upsetting to read about specific people and how their lives have changed, for the worse, because of coal mining. Further upsetting is to hear about the animals effected. Elephants invading villages, being electrocuted, hurting humans, all because their land is being taken for coal. Sad! People are dying from lack of fresh air and water, and it is wrong. +It must be extremely difficult to find these lone wolf terrorist. I can only begin to understand the type of manpower needed to pursue these people. I think that most of them are mentally ill and hard to catch before they commit the crime. It makes me think of the movie Minority Report and how that type of technology might become available with the advance of A.I.. +There are immigrants in this country that are having a hard time assimilation in to the American Culture. The article blames Trump I believe there are most things at work here than just him. It seems the system is working as intended and it was in place before Trump. People need to be able to assimilate as it keeps our country at peace. What do you think we should do about it? +You are not going to believe this article I just read about something akin to torture, called conversion therapy. It's something, designed by quacks, that is supposed to convert gay or queer people to heterosexual. Are you kidding me? People are who they are in life and are not to be changed, but embraced and supported. The regimen these poor people had to go through in this so called therapy was barbaric, and would not be used in North Korea as a torture. It's unbelievable what people do in the name of helping. +Hi. Just read an article about how Russia is moving some of their military ships near to Britain. What's the deal there? I can really figure out what the Russian government is up to. The article says they are stating the want to keep major waterways safe, but I didn't know there was a problem. Maybe they're creating one. +Those poor families in the Middle East. Near the city of Yemen. I guess so much fighting over there has led to really unhealthy living conditions. They are having new suspected cases of cholera all the time, and most of those ill are young kids. I can't even imagine such bad living conditions. These kids deserve a better life. Not fear and illness. +Seems like a pretty ordinary occurrence. I'm sure their families are upset but I'm less sure this kind of story deserves space in a newspaper. A couple people got sick and they died. Anyway, it's a mildly sad story but it's not noteworthy or newsworthy. I don't understand why stories like this run in the paper. +The article was about smokers and the prevalence of cancer among cigarette smokers. It indicated that the tobacco lobby results in weak tobacco control and a low effort among politicians to try and stop people from smoking. Quite frankly, I'm not sure why I should care about smokers. The evidence is there for them to see, yet they persist in their bad habits. Government can only do so much and it makes little sense for me to worry about another person's health when they are consciously making the decision to kill themselves. +Yuck. Although I don't think you can say it was particularly disturbing for women because a lot of women voted for the misogynistic ass. The real problem was reasonable people didn't bother to vote. I did. And after the election news I was so depressed, I stayed home and drank wine that day. I didn't have to work. +Its sad and all but when is there every not trouble in the middle east? You know my grandmother was Syrian so this maybe should be more personal for me, but its kind of not. Those people are crazy. Fell sorry for the civilians though and the united states should really take a lot of refugees from there. +Hello! I just read this article and would like to share it with you. It is about the oak trees dying along the west coast. I know you are interested and we've talked about this before. It seems to be caused by beetles and they are multiplying faster because of warm temperatures. I wish there was something more we were doing to stop climate change and these warm temps! +Passing this article along to you! Remember how we were just discussing this? I guess there is enough doubt now in the death of the Polish former president that died in that plane crash that they now are exhuming the body. Some people suspect that the Russians actually poisoned him and the crash is a cover up! Not everyone's happy about this though as it might seem disrespectful. +I cannot believe that this happened. I feel so bad for her! Can you believe she received threats on twitter? It is cyber bullying for sure. I cannt imagine this happening to me, how scary! I am so sad that she had to cancel her account because of crazy people. Ughhh! I hope that these bullies are caught and she can go back to her account. +It is unreal that so many issues can come out of a natural disaster like this. YOu would think that we could pull together more and help people! I cannot imagine what would happen to us if a natural dister happened here, we would never recover. This is soo scary. I am thankful for all of the people volunteering time to help! +Can you believe that these women have to endure this?? I am so thankful that they are standing up for themselves and trying to regain some of their rights. It is crazy that things like this still go on in this world. I stand in support of these brave ladies and I hope that no undue harm is caused to them. +Can you believe this happened? Ughh. How scary! I realize that people can be angry with each other, but pushing someone in front of a train??? It is amazing to me that people are so out of control that they can't even handle a verbal dispute with someone. Its easy, just walk away! I guess I should stay away from the train platform +I had never heard of people shaming women who give birth by C section. This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I'm sure the majority of C sections are medically required to help the mother and the baby, not because women are just so eager to undergo major surgery. Why do people even care if someone gave birth by C section instead of natural birth anyway. +Wow, can you believe he survived in the jungle that long on his own? It is amazing what the human body is capable of hey? I remember the last time I went a couple days without food and it was so intense. People think they are ready to survive in the wild but we really have so few skills to get food for ourselves without the right tools. It's amazing that he was found after all that time. I wonder how long it will take for him to recover? +The results of the fire could have been worse. I'm just glad nobody died. Stuff can always be replaced. Burns are the worst since they're so painful. Hopefully these people have some family they can stay with until they're able to find a new housing situation. That's great that the firemen were able to get the fire under control so quickly. +I find it interesting to view the lives of primates in order to try and understand how it relates to our own. The way that the primates dealt with farsightedness seemed very practical to me which shows off their ingenuity and ability to problem solve. It makes me wonder if that's where humans get their own ability to problem solve as well. +I think it is a shame that people still lose their lives on trails. Some do not appreciate the dangers of mother nature and try to best her without realizing what they are up against. It is always important to prepare before you go out on a hike. Without understanding what you are doing, a person could easily end up lost or dead. +This type of thing is always largely ignored as it goes on, when people could have known about it but chose not to. Then many years later the truth comes out and some people address it with discomfort, and others still continue to ignore it. The way for real change to come is with accountability. Any crimes that aren't protected by a statue of limitations need to be addressed through prosecution, and they need to look for ways to prosecute instead of looking for ways not to. They should also encourage civil suits, but those are always against the departments and not the individuals. There needs to be reform so that the officers are the ones that are held accountable instead of the taxpayers continually having to make payouts because the police broke the law. +That idiot deserves a lot worse but hopefully we can erase all symbols of his existence soon. Starting with everything he did as President, but then get rid of all his buildings and everything else with his name on it. Maybe when he pays for his crimes he will have to sell all those buildings off. It would be great to get a full accounting of everything he actually owns so that he can repay everyone he has ever ripped off over his lifetime of scamming people. The name "Trump" should forever be associated with crime, grifting, treason, lying, cheating and just generally being a piece of human garbage. Let his stupid kids live with that brand. +The general rule of thumb is that to be healthy individuals need to get a minimum of eight hours of sleep a night. Some people get more, and some people get along well with less, but everyone needs to get enough sleep or else they cannot function effectively in their everyday activities. In their work, Your Guide to a Healthy Sleep, National Institutes of Health pointed out that sleep is very important to human existence, so important that one-third of a person’s life is spent doing it (1). In Sleep, Sleep Disorders, and Biological Rhythms, Amlaner said, “Sleep is a required activity, not an option” (19). During sleep the human body has an opportunity to recuperate from the activities of the day. The recuperation goes beyond tha +Hey soul sista. I know this whole Crutcher thing has you shook. I am certain you have read more articles on this matter. Let me say that reading this worries me as well. My wife is worried for her daddy who lives in the area. Please do me a favor and bring this article up in your weekly political meetings. I just want to make sure this gets more movement along the grass root channels you work with. I am sending my best with this article to you. +I cannot believe this! How can they do this to people? They have less than a week to move out after some of them being there for over 10 years. I am just saddened that political and ideological strife will deny not only teacher from working, but for students to be able to have a quality education. What can we do to help? Let me know if you know what we can rally against. +Remember when I told you I had ringing in my ear sometimes? This article seems to parallel what I was talking about. Can you look into this further? I really trust your viewpoint on this. I am going to ask my doctor about this later on this week. I do not want this to get worse. Maybe you can advise on a good doctor I can see regarding this? I am just really worried about it. Thanks again man! +Hey I just wanted you know that I read something disturbing this morning in an article. There were bombings and people were killed over fuel. This is alarming and out of control. I'm feeling so many emotions right now. From upset to angry. I don't understand how people can blow other people up over something so trivial and stupid. They were just wanting fuel! +Oh my goodness, did you read this article? It was heart-wrenching... I felt so sad while reading it and my heart breaks for the mother of these babies. There is no way that a parent should ever, ever have to lose a child,muchless two children at the same time. So horrifying and sad! Something has to be done about all of this. They deserve justice!! +Trump continues to fuck up the nation. Did you read this story of how Trump wants to back out of the Paris Accord? As a nation we are finally trying to seriously address climate change and we are doing that with partners around the world. However, Trump the national embarrassment has seen to it that not only do we not continue trying to make the planet better, but we also betray our allies. +you can never really trust a person.Someone can end up dead and those who are left in the wake are the ones that suffer.Really makes you think just how short of a life we have in comparrison.But having no sex can do something to a person.It is one of those things that we have a bond between a person and if something in a relationship is not working it can drive a person to do something they would normally not do. +That's a really strange and messed up situation. It's really sad for the children involved and it's very troubling that any country could plan out such an awful attack. I hope that things change in those areas of the world and more security is put in place so these types of attacks can be detected and negated. +it's dissapointing that in this day and age that homosexuality is still illegal in different countries. I would think that it would be past that and that people would just get over it. It took forever for America to recognize gay marriage so I guess it's not surprising that Uganda hasn't yet. But I still think that it's a breach of human rights and it's moraly wrong +This sounds like such a freak thing. It must be so hard for the family because there are no answers and they need answers. I'm not sure this is something that is easy to figure out. It sounds like a severe case of pneumonia, but from what, how and why. And the fluid on the brain of the one sister is so strange. I would think they would know more after the autopsies, and I don't understand why that is taking so long. I'm thinking that the family wants to bring the bodies back to the States and that could be holding up the autopsies. +Working out is important, but you may want to check the ingredients of the supplements you take. This article talks about a number of ingredients that can cause dangerous side effects and are also very common in work out supplements. It's scary to think about what we are putting in our body. From now on, I am probably going to cut back and go more natural. +I just read this article about a scandal involving a person trying to rent a place from someone else, but then it turned out that this person was using it for personal reasons because the place the other person was renting wasn't own bu the person they thought. It would be interesting if the author of the article didn't try so hard to sound like a kid using slang. +I just read this really long article about a white man that actually got sentenced after shooting a black teenager dead. I can't help but feel incredibly satisfied after reading this. It happens way too much in this country where white people are able to get away with hurting black people. This time, it finally feels like some justice has been done. +I just can't imagine that this poor 4 year old was blinded the way she was. But then I wonder if it is truly an act of justice to carry out the same punishment on the perpetrator. It seems so human to want revenge, but it also feel so useless. In a way it seems to make "us" as "bad" as him. It just makes me sad. +This is such a sad story. I feel so much for the mother trying to get away. Sometimes it seems like things won't be so bad. Sometimes it seems like tomorrow is another chance, but it seems to me that you can't give people the opportunity to destroy because they will. I would always encourage a one strike policy for my friends. That reminds me, how was your friend after her husband threatened to shoot her - are they still together? +Wow - this is so so horrible! I can't even begin to understand why Syria would attack its own citizens, and why would Russia support them in doing so? This is a sick regime and I am glad that America and its allies are interfering. The fact that they are denying doing it is truly messed up. I hope these poor children who survived are able to get the healthcare they so desperately deserved. Could you guys imagine if this was happening here?? +I saw this news item about a shooting in North Philly. Is this near where you live? Damn, I am so sick of gun violence. Will it ever end? Every day, it seems to be something new. Here in Detroit, we see it all the time and I know you're in a similar situation in Philadelphia. The article doesn't give any details about the victims or anything like that. It almost dehumanizes people, don't you think? I mean, these victims were somebody's relatives. Hopefully more details will come out in future articles. The news media cares more about being the first to report a story instead of sticking around to find out the details. I know I am rambling here. But all this gun violence is too much. +I don't understand why there is so much hate. It's like every one lives in their own little bubble seeing everything foreign to them as a threat. They take up selfish ideology because they don't like something, instead of just disassociating with it. This greatly saddens me, for I have seen the world in all it's wonder. Where the majority of people just want to live in peace, without boundaries. Yet this idea of cultural heritage has become disastrous further dividing people. If only more people could set aside their petty ideals, and just accept each other as other humans. Instead we classify and further separate ourselves due to every difference. I would prefer to just die, than put up with such cruel disgusting people. I am disgusted with my country of Americans. We deserve to burn.... +I feel that we are prioritizing efforts of saving the planet in the wrong way. We want to ban this or that, and that's great and all. However, we are missing the bigger picture. We need to focus on building a world that co exists with nature, instead of just saving little bits of it here and there. While some strive to save this or that, there are a million other things destroying it further. We need to end the destruction of our global ecosystem, and not pick and choose species to save. Other wise there will be nothing left, and those efforts would have been in vein. +If people are concerned about others to where they feel fear. They need to leave the situation entirely. No working things out, no seeing what happens. If you feel threatened, LEAVE! The problem is most people think they can't just drop everything. But it's mostly because they either don't know how, or don't want to live any other lesser lifestyle than they are accustomed to. Kids run away all the time from home with no skills, or means to get by. Many of them end up making it out ok. Some don't, but it's usually due to making the wrong choices. Taking the easy way out. We are free to make our own choices, and live the life we can live. So why would any one ever put up with feeling threatened, when they can just leave, and disappear. Even if you have no where to go, you can always die. +So I just read an article where 2 friends went diving to a place they shouldnt have and ended up dying. While they were using brand new equipment, I feel like idiots who take stupid risks and go to places where no humans should be, kind of deserve what ends up happening to them. If you dont sky dive, you never have to worry about going splat when your chute doesnt open +It would appear to me, in my opinion, the liberal, nonsensical, mainstream media is at it again. Let's use fear-mongering and misinformation to stir up a demographic in our all out effort against Donald Trump. I feel for those who don't read the actual proposals and/or legislation but instead decide to believe every word uttered by the talking head on TV. +Guys, please read this. This issue needs to be seen by more of us and acknowledged as something that happens more than we realize. Is this something we can change or work on as a community? Please help me think of ways we can work on making this a nonissue in the future for the next generation. This is our kids and grandkids future we are thinking of. +This shows how the current political environment is effecting people, especially younger people, emotionally. The stress and fear that is being shown from the younger generation is mostly to blame on social media. We used to be able to discuss political issues in person, calmly. Now, if you try to mention your opinion on social media, you run the risk of being attacked or insulted, simply adding to the fear of the current political situations. +Hey everyone, please share this! She appears to be in her late 60s or early 70s, 6'0", 175lbs, with gray hair. This could easily be someone's grandmother or mom, a family could be worried sick about her. Her outfit sounds like she may of been in some sort of retirement home or something similar. I know if this was my grandmother I could want to know so I could help her get home, so please share this within the area so we can maybe get her back to her home and family. +The Somali peope are suffering greatly. I feel so bad for what they have had to go through over the past while. Donald Trump doesn't have enough mercy or understanding for what they are going through. The United States may offer some help, but not nearly enough. They will be in poverty likely their entire lives, and it is just not fair. There must be a way to test to see if they are dangerous, and if not they should be welcomed into our country. +Kisii is a real tragedy. Many people are dead, and more people are severely injured. The drilling is likely what caused it, and the developer should be held responsible. He has caused much pain and suffering. Kenyans deserve better, and since he didn't listen to NCA warnings, he should pay for what he did. The other buildings in the area should be thoroughly tested to see if anything can be done to prevent this. +Rhinos are going extinct, and it s a real shame since they do nothing to harm human life. They are a majestic creature with much to offer. However, they are being killed because of poachers and their horn. The black rhino is almost extinct. Only about five thousand still exist in the world today, and this is a real shame. +It's upsetting that species are dying out, sometimes before we even know they exist. I wonder if there are ways we can use science to bring them back, if they even survive if we do. We need to take better care of the environment. It's worrying that as these species die out, someday ours might as well. +Ugh, another example of crappy cops. They think they can get anyway with anything. I've started to pull out my phone camera whenever I see the cops talking to someone, especially if they are a minority. Police brutality is such a problem in our country and it's just so deeply ingrained in the system, I'm not sure what can be done. We need some kind of overhaul of the criminal justice system. +I just cannot even imagine something like that happening. What makes someone do such a horrible thing? And especially when there were children on board? Such a senseless act. How scared those individuals and the victim must have been when that was happening. It is a good thing that that guy was there to help the passengers get off the bus. A tragic event would have been even more tragic had he not been there to save those people. I feel bad because those individuals (including the guy who saved the passengers) are all now scarred for life and their lives will never be the same. Their lives have been turned upside down because of someone else's senseless act and are forever traumatized by it. I hope those victims get the support they need and I hope that the driver's family receives support +This makes me feel nothing. I don't care about this. I don't see why I have to care about this. Bad things like this happen all the time and they have no affect on me. I have too many problems of my own to have to worry about more things like this. Thinking about this kind of stuff just adds to my stress. +The only solution for the "wage gap" is the total abolishment of capitalism and all governments. There will be no more wage gap when there is no money! By instituting Anarcho-Communism, all people can be given what they need without a worry of who is getting more or less. Capitalism is evil and must be destroyed! +This was a somewhat interesting article about the frequency of eye injuries in sports for children. They really could have used more data in the article but interesting all the same. The only real gripe I had was somehow playing with airsoft guns around the house are counted as sports related injuries so the data doesn't seem that reliable. +It's such a shame the man had to shoot the dog. Labradors in general are decent dogs and not know to attack people for no reason. He could have shot into the ground or into the air to scare the dog off. I feel bad for the lady that lost her dog but this is why you keep your dogs on leashes. If she hadn't let the dog off the leash this probably would not have happened. It's a terrible and unfortunate situation all around and I hope I never find myself with the same problem. I'm gonna go play with my dog now and be grateful. +It is very difficult for me to imagine how any person could leave a baby in a shoe box. I just don't understand how you could even leave a baby alone. Thank God the baby was in good health, at least whoever left the poor thing seems to have taken good care of it other than leaving it in a shoe box. Maybe in the end this will turn out to be a good thing for this baby, one can only hope. +Those poor officers. Like in any group of people, there are good and bad ones. In this society the tendency to demonize everyone for the actions of a few sets a very dangerous precedent and things like this can happen. Every person should be judged on their own merits. Saying all cops are bad because of what a few have done is so insane and the public outrage leads to things like this. I don't know for sure what this person's motivations were but there have been enough instances that some don't see law enforcement as people anymore and it makes their job so much more dangerous and we need good cops to do their jobs to keep us safe. +Remembering those who have lost their lives due to violence is so important. Do you remember what happened in Paris in 2015? I am so grateful that the people there set aside a special time to remember all the victims and their families. Such a senseless loss. People just wanting to enjoy some entertainment were met with a horrific experience and families were forced to wait in pain to hear news of the outcome. I am sure they will never forget that day. I do hope each day gets easier for them and that they remember the good memories of their loved ones. +I just read a very upsetting article about a recent incident involving U.S. troops in Jordan and I wanted to share it with you. There were three U.S. military trainers killed in gunfire by security units at Jordan base, fatally shot by security forces Friday when their vehicle failed to stop at the gate of a military base. I have no idea why the driver did not stop at the gate, which is certainly protocol. They have had serious problems in Jordan recently due to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees crossing their border. Jordan is and has been a significant U.S. ally in the war against ISIS and I can only hope that this incident is isolated and not part of a bigger problem. God bless the families of the deceased soldiers! +I just read an article about tour boat that capsized because of the boat operator. It was horrific reading the statements of the survivors. It brought chill to my bone when they wrote many situations that could of ended their lives. Just imagining what I would of done in that situation makes me feel troubled because I cant really swim in open water. All the survivors are now suing the company for injuries, recklessness, neglect, and trauma. Pretty crazy how one event can change the outcome of life or death. +Another article I read showing a death of African American driver by a police. I really upset me reading this article. That unnecessary force was used to handle the situation. Its crazy that the first thing on the police mind is to shoot to kill. I feel uneasy every time seeing and reading about situation like this where a situation could of been handled in a different way. Understandable that they work in a high intense environment but that why they train and follow protocol. +Have you ever heard of sudden oak death ? Over 66 million trees have just vanished since 2010 . bacteria is spread through the water . This is a scary thought where are we going to be at in the next 5 years? I think that we need to take note and start worrying about our planet this is not a good sign at all . +I really hate ISIS. They are the scum of the earth. I just learned that they killed over 100 Iraqi police officers in Mosul. This is the kind of thing that happens when we pull our troops out of Iraq. Yeah we should not have been there in the first place but we made that mistake and we now have to take responsibilty for it. I feel so bad for all the Iraqi people who just want to live their lives in peace. +I am shocked and saddened by this earthquake. What a sad and terrible tragedy. I feel so sorry for all the victims and those affected by this event. I can't even imagine how devastating this must be for them. What an incredible catastrophe. My thoughts and prayers and best wishes go out for all the many people affected by this tragic catastrophe. I hope that everyone stays safe for the foreseeable future. I am still in shock. +I feel really concerned that they have no idea who committed this crime. I wonder if there's more to this story. I wonder what the conditions were that led up to this event. I hope the victims will make a full recovery and that they catch this horrible person! My thoughts are with them and their families! +After reading this article it seem like a nightmare is becoming a reality. Today drug user, especially opiod user, are taking there drugs in front of their children. It seems like the drug user are tired of taking their drugs and having people around them disagree with their habits. Its really a shame that parent are doing these drugs in front of their kids. +Colonialism is a ugly part of American history, but it's one that we shouldn't forget. We can't undo the damage that we've done, but we can teach future generations our mistakes, and hope that they do not repeat them. A formal apology is the very least the Canadian government can do, and it is admirable. +It's unfortunate what happened. If I was a politican I'd say my heart and prayers go out to the victims affected, but honestly? It's hard to feel much sympathy for people so far away. I find the governments efforts to house and protect the affected civillians admirable. We have federal agencies devoted to disaster relief in the US, but we only go so far in helping people. +How can Canada think that was the right course of action? Of course we are no better with how we treated the Native Americans. These poor kids are ripped from their homes and subjected to such horrors because of who they are. It is sickening. It is as if we have no respect for the past. Who cares if they didn't speak the language or assimilate into "normal culture". Is that any reason to destroy their lives? No apology could ever fix what was done. So many children died, just because they were born into the "wrong" culture. This mentality, unfortunately, isn't isolated or gone from planet. We are destroying the identity of people who for the most part probably just wanted to live and die without interfering with the "new" culture. Is it so wrong to be different? +The spread of cholera is very widespread in Haiti. It is costing tons of lives, and money food and doctors are very much needed. Its hard to control like any other high spreading disease. Doctors need resources so much that they cant keep up with ever growing number of patients. They need food, medical supplies, and other miscellaneous equipment that would help them improve their job and combating the outbreak. +People and government and climate groups are scared President Trumps cabinet would push climate control policies back. He might put the states out of the Paris Treaty, and build more Coal factories that might emit more toxic fumes into the air and expand global warming. And in regards to other countries they might agree with it to as well, putting our earths climate at a dangerous risk. This might other protocols as well such as the Kyoto protocol +Hey, Josh have you seen this? World currencies are going to be taking a hit, I just wanted to let you know. The complete misunderstanding of how to run something as simple as a bank multiplied by thousands around the country of India is bringing that country to its knees. We see this happen all the time where markets are controlled by the government and something stagnates then we add more controls and now we have a depression. +Wow. That is really sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder why his friend would kill him. Must not have been friends after all, huh?????? I wonder how long the body had been there before he was found. Money was probably the motive since it usually is. He probably got over on him somehow and dude got his revenge. Oh well....... +Just read a short article about the Kim Kardashian robbery. Pretty scary for her, and the robbers kept demanding money. There were language/communication issues between her and the robbers, she thought they wanted her jewelry, and they wanted her money. I hope that she gets better security in place so that this never happens again. The article mentioned her providing information about her expensive diamond ring on Facebook - I think there's a lesson to be learned about that. +I feel so sorry for these people trying to flee their current situation. These crossings need to be safer for these people. All of these people drown and for what? A chance at freedom, a chance to get away from what they fear, and I feel like these people need to be helped and find a way to get them across safely. +I just read a troubling little snippet about a family who lost their home in Washington D.C. They haven't yet identified the cause of the blaze, but a family of five ha not only been displaced, but they also lost two cats which I'm sure were very dear to them. I'm glad to hear that the Red Cross has stepped in to lend aid to this needy family. +I know we have been talking about climate change, my friend. I read a news article that continues to build upon the foundational knowledge that we have speculated upon. As it turns out, a mere one degree Celsius change can have major impacts on the ecosystem. It affects genes and ranges in species. More than eighty percent of ecosystems are being put under stress. It makes me sad because we don't know the long-standing implications in the largest perspective. Every single day we can make choices to help negate the bad choices our species makes towards our environment. +It is so unfortunate that people are being attacked because of their religion. A lot of Christians in Mosul were ordered to convert away from their beliefs or suffer heavy consequences. This is not a choice most people want to make, let alone be forced to flee their homes. Churches, homes, and streets were not safe. Many people have considered fleeing over returning. However, the human spirit is strong. We all face adversity. Some are brave enough to face the terror and harassment they experienced to rebuild their lives. +I just read about the arrest of the women from that National Geographic magazine. You know, the one with the striking green eyes. She's in her 40s now, and she was just arrested for staying illegally in Pakistan. If worst comes to worst, she could be put in jail for 14 years or deported back to the place she was trying to escape. It breaks my heart to see refugees who are just looking for a safe place to live being at risk for deportation. +Poor sad polar bear! They need to move him now. If they are going to take polar bears and other animals out of their natural habitats, then they better make sure that the place they keep them in is at the right standard for those animals. They need to move that polar bear as soon as possible so that it has a chance at happiness. +I'm not so sure that there is any right in this situation, of course it was wrong what he did and he could have handled this another way. He did what he did for his own reasons and he can't take that back and he definitely does not feel sorry for what he did. Was it so serious just because he is the mayor and would it not been so serious if he wasn't a mayor? Could he have done something better with the money? Absolutely, so he isn't wrong when he says the money should have been used for other things, but throwing a pie in someones face probably isn't the best way to show it +Jeez, who would have thought that those little guys could wreak such environmental disaster. But this is a classic example of people who think their one indiscretion (dumping the fish in the river) is harmless. Much like someone who starts a forest fire, we should have laws making the person responsible liable for the cost of cleaning up the mess. Not that we'd ever catch them. +Here we go again. Another news report of another earthquake in Chile. Fortunately this one apparently didn't cause any damage, but it was no slouch either at a magnitude 6.4. Had the earthquake struck in a little different location, who know what might have happened. This is the same place that got hit with an 8.8 a couple years ago. Remember that one? That was so sad. It triggered a tsunami and 500 people were killed. Not to mention the fact that there were 220,000 homes lost. One piece of good news at least, since the 8.8 earthquake, they have put in a warning system for earthquakes and tsunamis. Thank God for that. That certainly can't prevent any earthquakes from happening, but at least maybe it will save some lives if, or should I say "when", the next earthquake occurs. +Things seem to be quite bad in Yemen. I can't believe is not only the United States conducting drone operations or military operations for that matter in Yemen. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are also in it. Things must be very bad overthere. I have little background about the issue in Yemen, I wonder what it is that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have to gain hehre? +This really sucks for the children and the families affected. They could sue the developers, but no amount of money is going to compensate them for the health issues these kids are going to experience due to lead poisoning. The worst thing about this is, if it were a wealthy white neighbourhood adjacent to the industrial site they wanted to demolish, you know they would have taken every precaution to test to see if there was any chance of releasing toxic amounts of lead into the vicinity. But it's a poor black neighbourhood, so of course they aren't as careful. +Hey you, I found more information about that woman who overdosed in the car with her infant. It is just horrible. From what I am reading it happened in Indiana and she had a syringe in her hand. Her poor baby was only 10 months old. How sad. They were parked outside of a Dollar General when thankfully someone noticed and called 911. The grandmother got guardianship over the baby, thank goodness. The women got booked on neglect and possession, hopefully she stays in there for awhile. +Those poor boys. They never asked for any of this. Their father be a died beat dad and kill them. What a completely asshole to scared jerk. The boys were so young and helpless with a dead beat dad. The man should of just killed himself and left those 2 boys out of it. What did he accomplish by killing his sons? I have no words to describe how much pain those 2 little ones were probably in. Its ashame when kids have to take fault for thier parents misfortunes. And that mother. The heart ache she will have to face of losing not only 1 son but 2. I cannot imagine the sorrow that woukd cause. +I am a firm believer of inoccent till proven guilty. But come on. There are multiple accounts with several different wome. That are coming forward towards this guy. This man needs taking off of the streets and put in jail. The things he did to multiple women is disgusting. I feel bad for these women who did not come forward in the beginning. Whether they were scared for their lives or just ashamed. It seems like alec could get a girl but just took things to far and to the next level. It ashame that a successful young man does something like this and ruins his entire life. Over sex. +Nothing is ever compatable to the support of people who are willingly happy to show their support and love to Trump. Although sometimes it is hard to think how impossible it is to agree with what Trump's want for the country. Supporting this kind of big event is always remarkable and will always be remembered by people. +This must be terrifying to have people come into your town, drag you from your home, and to watch while those you love are taken or shot, really it must be unbearable, even as you endure it. We get upset when we hear news of one or two people being kidnapped or suffering this kind of trauma, yet here we're talking about much more. It must be heartbreaking for them. +I think its so scary that there have been shark attacks in Australia's beaches. I wouldn't want to be a surfer there knowing that anytime my life could be in danger since you don't know what your surfing under whether its a huge shark preying on you waiting to strike and make you his fresh meal. I am always cautious when I'm in the water since people don't realize there are so many dangers deciding to get into the water. +Did you see this article about the protest in MI? It's so crazy how divisive the country has become over the election and how president tump's doing. What used to be considered rare and unacceptable seems now to become the norm, since all the crazy things trump says and does. Throwing a firecracker into a crowd? Who does that and think's its acceptable? People these days are getting very crazy. +Z did you hear?? Kate beckinsale and len wiseman broke up!!!! I can't believe it. What happened? I'm distraught. At least they don't have any kids so they don't have to put them through that whole thing about divorce. But I mean come on, she can barely even wait to get back out there, WITHOUT her wedding ring??? Jeeze. Sad. +Firstly let me say that she was NOT asking for it just by wearing expensive jewelry. The same people who believe that are those who believe women are ASKING to be assaulted just by wearing provocative clothes; disGUSTING. Secondly, let me just say that I respect Khloe for expressing her love and not being afraid of all the HATERS out there. Respect. +I didnt even bother reading this. I skimmed it. It's a meaningless bore. Why Im writing you to tell you this is beyond me, but my masters here believe it will be revealing in some way. And Im nothing if not a slave to my masters. So I write. To you, my friends. I hope you will find more meaningful things to read and do than this kind of crap. +Unbelievable! I just read an very disturbing article about a 23 year old male teacher charged with multiple counts of child pornography that was taking place at the school he teached in. He managed to get away with this crime for a very long time as he lured hundreds of children into his scheme before finally getting busted. It really pisses me off that scum bags like this are allowed near our children and I hope he gets a max sentence! +Seems like so many tragic accidents have been happening lately. I just read another article about the tragic death of a father son that took place during a hike. The both of them fell off a cliff and died recently while exploring the outdoors. There was an attempt made to recover their bodies but the exact cause was not specified. Poor souls. I pray that their family may be given strength as they discover the tragedy. +I just read an article about how the CO2 levels are high this year and they might not lower for generations to come. That is so sad for our children and grandchildren. I feel like instances such as this can cause health issues. Not only am I concerned about myself but Im concerned about my children and future grandchildren. +It’s a sad day when young kids are killing themselves. They act on impulse and do not realize that their actions have lasting consequences. If someone was just their to listen to these kids a lot of this probably wouldn’t be happening. Its just so sad especially for the parents and grandparents but also for the whole family. +What a disaster...I can't believe their course of action is to do nothing too. I can't even imagine how this is going to affect the local wildlife. They should be funding environmental groups to help the local animals in any way possible. This is going to have far reaching consequences too, as the poisoned fish and birds will affect other species and they'll end up effecting us as well. I wish there was some way to avoid these terrible accidents. +Better go stock up on coconut products. It seems coconuts are in danger due to some bacteria wiping out coconut trees in the Caribbean. Many fear it will spread to other coconut producing countries. The techno people are trying to breed some kind of cure. They are using gene banks to come up with a solution but costs are prohibitive. There’s an International Coconut Genetic Resources Network or COGENT that’s getting some funding but even it’s in trouble financially. They are looking for coconut product users and big companies to help out. Have a heart, save the coconut trees! +Hello friend, have you read this article? I think you should, it's quite interesting if I do say so myself. It is about a Representative named Darrell Issa, he is a Republican and has a Southern California seat. How great would it be, to see this massively bad man lose? Hopefully, Issa may well quote Mercutio on November 8th: “...ask for me to-morrow and you shall find me a grave man.” +Why are they prescribing things like that to such young kids? That's so insane. Benzodiazepines, especially, shouldn't be prescribed in general, in my opinion. Doctors are overly calm about the things they prescribe to people, people that young shouldn't be subjected to that, and the death tolls aren't surprising. +A lot of us not just veterans are losing sleep. I believe its because of deppression. We aren't happy and its because of money. Humans are always working they have no life. Work is not life. Some people don't get to spend time with there kids or family. They cant even have time for themselves. There worried about work, what time they have to get up, or what they will eat because they don't have time to cook. So we eat unhealthy thing that can lead to depression. Not getting enough sleep or the right nutrients lead to sicknesses. Theres people who don't have enough time to see a doctor. Our lifestyle is the reason we're not getting enough sleep. People put way to much on there plate just so they can have money. Everything is about money. +It is very sad to know Robert died. He was a great actor. You never now when your time is going to come. I get very worried of my own health. There are so many sicknesses and diseases. I tried to get checked annually at the doctors. I hope they come out with a cure for these diseases and sicknesses. I feel like Robert did live kind of a long life. Robert has made good memories and I think that is very important when living . I want to make a lot of good memories now that I'm alive. Everyones life should have meaning just like Robert's. +I have a real hard time with this article. My husband is a US Army soldier that fought to take over Mosul the first time at the cost of many lives. And through incompetent measures in our government and military, we let go of Mosul and are again trying to figure out a way to take it back. It makes me sad that there are people being oppressed in the world but it is also clear to me that at what cost do we fight the oppressors and pick a whose side to be on. Maybe we should worry about ourselves stateside and stay out of the mess in the middle east. +While this seems like good news that there are fewer and fewer cases of Zika I would be lying if I said it wasn't still alarming. It seems very strange that such a huge virus with a widespread development and all of the media attention is now just a minor issue. It's either hiding somewhere are there's worse on the way. Or it could have all just been media hype to sell TV. Hard to say but suspicious all the same. +Hey friend, Can you believe just how crazy this is getting over in the middle east? My heart weeps so much for the families and just the innocent bystanders that have to deal with this. Imagine if your home was getting bombed and who knew where you would get your food next. I can't imagine the pain that they go through on a daily basis meanwhile I can go get any kind of food I want or drinks or whatever. Not a worry in the world for me, meanwhile these people are being bombed and just all around treated like cattle. We need peace! +Dear god friend, Let me tell you, this is just disgusting. Poor animals. We continue to damage the environment and this tug boat company just says oh my apologies and thanks for cleaning up my mess. After they destroyed ecological habitats and caused damage to almost extinct species. The company should be fined millions of dollars and be in some serious deep water no pun intended. I know you agree man. I hate to see animals hurt and just the negligence is enough to make me want to go out there myself. WE need to take care of this planet for once effectively and I know you agree with me. +I can't believe Wells Fargo would do this in such a unprofessional manner. Repossessing vehicles without going through the proper procedures. Especially screwing over people who protect our country. I hope their fines were huge. They are going to have to do a lot of changing if they want to get the trust of their customers back. I for one never plan on using them. +That was the strangest article I've ever read - I'm not sure why I read it. Was it an error? Art/? It just said something like "article title - article - article source - date." I'm not sure how to emotionally react to such a thing since it had no emotional content whatsoever, no biographical content, no factual content, no real content at all. Seriously, I believe there is a malfunction in the survey. +I really don't know anything about Keisha. The only thing I know is her music. I don't know how the music business works. I don't know if this is true. It seems like if she really wanted to she could have taken more control. It was her choice whether or not she ate or not. She let them take control. there is always a choice. +Of course I only know what I read in the article. It sounds like it could be the ex police officer was trying to protect himself. The son was already arrested for assaulted the father. I believe the police will investigate the shooting and take the necessary actions. I don't think the police will look the other way just because he is an ex police officer. +I just read this article about a haze that was responsible for killing 100,000 people. Can you believe that!? The haze was caused by fires used to clear rain forest, if I remember correctly. I mean could you imagine that happening here. It is unfathomable. I know we have our wildfires but very few people die to them. Imagine what people are going through. +Hey bud, Check this news out. Apparently a couple was on a cruise ship and the husband fell off the ship unintentionally. After reading the whole article, I believe that the other husband has the right to sue the authorities for not saving the his husband after he fell off. In any case, whether the person was guilty of previous crimes, he or she should be saved or this would have been seen as sketchy work by the police officers. \ No newline at end of file diff --git

The police are treating this as a pure accident and don't anticipate any further charges. +This will not end well. People have to improve their own country. Taking a shortcut by moving to a better country will just result in the host country suffering. The best citizens will work hard to improve their country. They will not give up and leave. Lots of blood was shed in many of the countries that migrants seek to live in. +Despite our best efforts, it really is nearly impossible to keep our children and families from the cruel nature of the world. Even something like a vacation to another country or a trip to watch fireworks can result in tragedy that leaves everlasting scars. This is a world we want to avoid, but find ourselves surrounded by almost always. +Why are there so many issues between the middle eastern countries and the United States? There needs to be world peace and each nation should stop trying to be the powerful dog here. I wish everyone could just get along and we wouldn't have to waste so much time with these political affairs. So many people lost lives over nonsense. +Did you know that Climate Change Threatens the World’s Coffee Supply?? A report I read about a report says thinking of the many ways climate change threatens coffee and coffee farmers has alarmed people who are now imagining what it would be like getting through the day without their caffeine fix! Well, it certainly is concerning to me! The report, released this month, was commissioned by Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand supposedly the hub of the global Fairtrade system. I guess it doesn’t contain much new research, but still it has made waves by collating an array of available literature suggesting that climate change will have a major effect on the world’s coffee supply. Well, knowing how you love your coffee just as much as I do, I just knew this would fascinate you! Tell everyone!! +A perfect example of greed and selfishness-British government is willing to kill innocent creatures in order to drill for oil, regardless of consequences! Instead of exploring other alternatives, such as natural energy sources, they will go and march their way to Africa and claim innocent lives just to put money in their pockets. I wonder if the majesty Queen, the mighty Queen of England, would appreciate of someone suddenly marched into her palace and started drilling for oil?!!! Absolutely disturbing-total disregard for nature and living creatures, nothing but pure greed regardless of the cost! +This article I just read was so, unbelievably sad and tragic. This incident is so horrible. Such a gruesome death. I can't imagine being that two year old and falling for so long. Ugh, it makes me so upset. I feel so bad for the parents, they must feel so guilty. It would be so hard to overcome everything. +This kind of stuff is definitely very political because it shows how corrupt the Venezuelan government is very corrupt. I get that every country has their own issues, but what happened here is absolutely ridiculous! Wouldn't want to live here at all. You guys should check this out whenever you get a chance. +Can you believe how people are acting over this? They are acting like a bunch of rabid animals. This is not how you protest. Going around acting violent and destroying things does not solve anything. This is chaos. There is no excuse for this type of behavior just because you don't agree with an election. +I guess people don't realize how much of an impact they can have. The article says if people would have done something they could have stopped the extinction of the animals. But at the same time, it is people's action indirectly that caused the extinction, through contributing to climate change. There is so much that can go out of balance in nature when people are involved. When one species dies off, then everything in that ecosystem changes. I guess the article was kind of interesting. But what is the solution the problem they are talking about? How should people intervene to save those animals? +Death to the police! There is no member of the police that is your friend, even those who are no longer on the force. Only someone who fully recants their position as a police officer and demonstrates tangible remorse about their actions can be accepted. All police are evil, because the police naturally attract people who would abuse their powers. +so three missiles get shot up in the air randomly like if this were to be a daily routine. nobody was going to do anything about it. the craziest part about it is reading about the father who the article states that jokingly told his family to forgive him if he did not return home that night. that man did not return home that i find insane. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading a very interesting and somewhat disturbing article. It was about Thomas Arthur, an inmate on death row in Alabama. There began a massive legal battle between the courts, justices, and lawyers about the legality and morality of lethal injection practices. I feel conflicted because on one hand, these people committed unthinkable crimes and deserve severe punishment, but on the other hand, taking a life may still not be justifiable. +Hey hun! I was just reading this article about a family of 3 young black boys who went through foster care and ended up in prison later on in life, and it made me want to share it with you. It breaks my heart knowing this probably happens all the time in our country! That there are kids who, through no fault of their own, are set on a path that ultimately leads to their downfall and punishment later in life! There need to be changes made to the foster system so that there are more homes available and counselling for these kids so that they can learn at an early age to deal with the things they are going through instead of internalizing it all and becoming angry and bitter. What do you think? Maybe we could write some letters to get people thinking about this situation! +It's nice that these cases are critiqued so thoroughly as once an execution has started, there's no going back. It sounds like he shot his relative for sure though. Even though he maybe didn't kill the husband of the woman he had an affair with, one murder should potentially be enough for the death penalty. +The fact that this article shows the global gender gap not being equal until 2196 is particularly disturbing. And, I wonder why women have dropped out of the workforce globally? I mean, I did drop out but only after 30 years of employment. It seems as if, in this day and age, you'd hear that women's participation in the workforce had increased, not decreased. +I just read the article and i want to say i think its terrible anyone would actually blame the doctors for someone committing suicide. Of course its incredibly sad and i feel for anyone that has to go through what people like that do go through but how can these doctors be blamed. That means that anyone can be blamed for missing the signs and its too hard to tell when someone will actually commit to killing themselves even when they are making empty threats. +I always wonder whether to believe articles like this. I have always liked Mayweather, and I feel there are probably two sides to this story. Besides, the lawsuit is filed but there is no verdict yet, so Mayweather could be innocent. Anyone can file a lawsuit and the only proof of who is right is when the suit is decided. I will be interested to follow the outcome of this one. +Aww, I hope this story isn't really true. I mean do people still go to see elephants perform anywhere? And people have been so much more vocal and worried about animals for quite a long time, I just have trouble believing that this story is true. I hope not. Plus, do elephants really live that long? +This is a completely unacceptable situation. Our military bombs a Doctors Without Borders medical facility and they have the gall to point their fingers at those who were bombed. And the only restitution they offer is a promise to keep bombing and carrying on just like they were until the mission is completed. Revolting. +I'm sorry to hear that about Dakota's parents. Even when you are adult it must be hard to see your parents splitting up. No one wants that to happen and it's unfortunate that her parents couldn't work it out. I hope they are able to still remain civil around the kids and family. Just because it didn't work romantically doesn't mean it won't work at all. +This is a really interesting article about primates. It just talks about some of the things this certain species of primate does as they get older. They tend to adjust their position so they can see things better as they age. The younger bonobos sit close to their partner when they groom but the older ones sit ridiculously far away. I wouldn't even think their arms could reach when I read the distance was over a foot. +These actresses and actors have tons of money. If they really wanted to do the right thing, they certainly could, for their only son. They are just selfish people, wanting what they want and unwilling to compromise with each other. Most actors and actresses are like that. They are so self-centered. I can’t stand people like that. I feel sorry for the poor kid. Although he will probably grow up to be a self-absorbed, selfish brat, just like his parents. I swear that I think the less people have, the better off they treat their children and their families. I have no sympathy for people like these rich snobby people. They probably have their own jets, tons of money. Yet, they still can’t compromise. I wish people like this would get a grip and I wish the media would stop reporting +Hey, I just read an article written by a snowflake that is melting under manmade "global warming". One thing I have never understood is how the communist party took over the environmental movement without a shot. Remember when we found out the founder of 'GreenPeace' left after discovering the flood of communist and socialist coming into academia and the organization he started? I wish someone would actually do some research instead of repeating the same old stuff. +The war that involved India and Pakistan is terrible. There are so many innocent civilian me were killed. The world needs peace and it is hard to imagine that a lot of people in 21st centery are still suffering from wars. We should really cherish that we live in the US and far from what happened there. +Hey dude did you see that article that come out about police torture in chicago? It's pretty crazy and damning - it's one thing to know this kinda thing has been going on but its another thing to see all of these actual documents talk about willingly torturing people AND that it's still going on today. How disgusting. +Trump's handling of Mexico has been atrocious. While illegal immigration may have fallen, it's no reason to treat such a big trading partner like a second class world citizen by telling them they have to pay for a wall. A wall which would be completely useless as far as keeping people out, because there are such things as shovels and boats. It's just completely absurd. +Everything from the smoking dangers posed to children, to the epidemic of rats and their waste products, to even refugee crises surrounding Greece - are all problematic situations. These situations have to each be approached from a different perspective, and because of this - they require a more focused and specialized touch. +With the ever-growing lack of medical clinics and equipment in 3rd world countries, more outbreaks will eventually start and can affect millions of people. This article for example, showed that cholera outbreak in Haiti, Millions has been affected and people are dying but we don't have the resources to help them. +Just wanting to let you know about a news story I came across. It is about an elephant, named Nosey. He is been owned by a guy and held in chains. He used Nosey to perform for public entertainment in circuses and forced for most of her life to give rides to adults and children across the United States. Oh, and she has been in solitary for almost 30 years, that is a lifetime. Being captive for such a long period caused major stress to her health as well as to her psychological well being. The owner has been cited numerous times but in the same time his license was still approved for renewal each year. There should be awareness for this abuse to stop. +The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is not dead, apparently, after all! While the reef is mostly destroyed, it has sections that are coming back to life, and it can be stimulated back to recovery despite a 2016 article proclaiming that it had suffered its death stroke. Did you know it can be seen from outer space? How magnificent! We should do what we can to preserve it, even if it is a losing cause because it is a true wonder of nature. I know that contradicts what I told you earlier about not trying to save species, but hey, whoever said consistency was my greatest attribute? +I was saddened to hear of a Chinese military fighter pilot who was killed in a training exercise recently. It's unclear what the cause of the crash was, but it's certainly a tragedy to all involved regardless. It's horrifying to think of the time and training that someone like that would put in to learning to pilot the aircraft and to think that it wouldn't be enough to keep her safe. +I think China has a real problem with safety standards and that's why they have so many accidents in their various industries. It's really sad that they place economic growth over human lives. If they did implement safety standards, they wouldn't lose so many lives or potential workers and people that care for children. +Unfortunately, I have a yahoo email account and of course I am worried about my information being stolen. Fortunately for me though, I never really used that information for personal reasons, i mainly used it for a junk email, so there would be no real important information that one could steal from me. But this also makes me worried that any other email sites, like gmail, hotmail etc could just as easy be hacked. +Again it's all about the money. Corporate America strikes again. They leech as much money from the working class as possible as they sit in their office, finger banging their secretary. When their lies and misdirection is revealed, some fat cat takes the blame (along with millions of dollars of hush money, and the working class is thrown to the wolves and blamed for most of the misdeeds. +Class differences influence and varies how a parent raises their child. Middle-class parents raise their child through the use of feelings and lower-class parents raise their children through behavior control. Middle-class parents and lower-class parents raise their children to be like them feeling and behavioral wise. Middle-class children get reprimanded for feeling the wrong way and lower-class children are punished for behaving badly +I read an article about how a man killed himself after killing his wife. It sounded like the man really had some problems. I dont understand how you could kill someone that you say you love. The article said he "hacked his wife to death". That sure sounds rather violent. The woman was rushed to the hospital all bloody and the man was in a coma. The hospital confirmed that the woman had passed. +We need to be more responsible with our wilderness areas! It is alarming that no one wants to talk about how these areas are being destroyed by development and can never be returned to their original wilderness states. Can you imagine a world in which our children can never go camping or hiking in the wilderness because it has all been destroyed and turned into buildings?? +Being able to get out of contracts for timeshares sounds like quite a nightmare. Not being able to get out of such a contract, ESPECIALLY if you've fallen ill is quite possibly the worst case scenario. Furthermore, not being able to afford travel insurance because of it is a terrible time, especially after they have been fighting their contract for a number of years now. +Oh, Yahoo. I wonder what country they're talking about? Probably Russia. It's always Russia nowadays. I'm glad I stopped using Yahoo years ago. I feel vindicated. Not that Google or any of the other services I give information to are immune. It's just that Yahoo has such a bad, ugly, sad interface. And now this. +I didn't realize just how much discord there was going on in Burma. Near total distrust of the local government from segments of the local Muslim population, it's really shocking and concerning to me. The Rohingya apparently aren't even allowed to worship at their mosques, nor are they allowed to go to work to earn a living. It's very concerning to me that I hear a member of the government seemingly unconcerned about how these people are being treated. Enough isn't being done, not nearly enough, by almost all parities involved, to hear some of the stories of what is happening on the ground is really heart breaking. +Apparently there are now a lot of wildfires in the Appalachia area, and it seems people are going to try to spin this into a "climate change" story. It seems that every single negative event can be attributed to climate change. The media doesn't even try to make an argument, it just inserts insinuations. I used to believe that global warming was a deadly threat to humanity, but if you look into things, there are many extremely dubious elements to the "official" story, and now I don't know what to think. Even if the official story is true, it is obvious that the issue is being routinely used for political purposes. And I don't know if it is true. Why has a vast swath of temperature readings been "corrected"? Most people don't even know about this issue. +I'm glad I don't wear contacts, because I'm so lazy with them that I would likely become infected and that would be horrible for my already terrible eyes. I read an article that said that people who leave their contacts in while they sleep are more likely to get an eye infection that can cause blindness. Makes me wish I could fix my vision to perfection again. I hate that I have terrible eyesight and have to rely on primitive glasses or risky contacts. It's not fair and I am very upset about it. Does anyone want to donate their eyes to me? I promise I will take good care of them. If only I could grow new eyes or get badass bionic cyborg eyes that can shoot lasers, then i could defeat the bacteria and be a hero to the human race. Well that's all silly pipedreams. I just have to deal withit +it was a very gruesome moment it doesn't help the fact that refugees face an exhaustive screening process by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees that can take years. it is good that when The federal government and its nonprofit partners provide job-search help and cash assistance for refugees during their first months in the United States. After that, they are largely on their own. This strategy has made it hard for refugee families—who often come to America with few assets or material possessions—to move up and out of poverty, and may be contribute to younger generations’ sense of isolation, the result of struggling to find their place in this country. Now, earning a living in the U.S. is proving difficult for younger generations. Donald Trump’s crusade against immigrants +Friends and family - we need to pray for those people in Taiwan. They have just been hit by yet antoher hurricane. This has left their country in quite the run down state. People are heavily effected in this country and need our thoughts and prayers. We also need to pray for China due to the hurricane heading there next. +The growing back and forth tension between the United States and Russia is really worrisome. One minute it seems like they like us and the next they have nuclear weapons at the ready and pointed straight at the United States. It's scary to think about what could happen especially with the big mouthed president we have. +I'm glad that they finally put an end to this mans killing spree. I'm not sure why he did what he did but he was obviously mentally ill and wasn't taking his medication. I believe friends had to have been helping him hide otherwise I don't know how he could have hidden so long otherwise. Anyways, incidents like this only makes them try to crack down harder on guns and our rights to bear arms, but this person was clearly mentally ill. +Climate change is already evident in all the ecosystems of the earth. the genes of living beings are changing in response to climate changes, affecting ecosystems around the world. the changes that by natural means should take a hundred of decades to occur, takes very few years to complete. This disorder affects the whole relationship of the ecosystems, discouraging them and causing their extinction. +I read that apparently a man in Georgia was accused of deliberately leaving his son in the car to die from the heat. I really hope he gets the death penalty and they leave him in a hot car just like he did to his son. The world is filled with evil people and it was really disturbing to hear this story. +This is really sad! I would think there would be a way to stop this from happening. Everyone knows this is being done, so why couldn't they stop it. The human traffiking is a sad thing and to have them all dying try to get to another place is sad.There must be some kind of policing that could be done wherever the people are boarding these boats. +Feelings are deemed appropriate if they fit the current situation. Since individuals want to fit in and be seen as normal, they are constantly working on their feelings in order to fit the situation. Emotion work is more so how people want to feel or how they want other people to see them feel. Feelings are not permanent, but an ongoing thing because people constantly try to bring up, suppress, or manage feelings +I was with him and mildly supportive of him until I found out about the second shooting. You can't just go shooting everybody who had every treated your daughter wrong. My initial thought was, oh the justice system failed and this guy had it coming. Then after reading about the second incident, I'm starting to feel like this was more a crazy guy on a shooting spree. +Of course they don't see well as they age! They're so much like us, even in the small details of how they stretch their arms to be able to perform their work. Just like my dad when he can't find his glasses and tries to read his magazine. I can't even comprehend why some people won't see how similar animals are to humans - how actually humans are animals. It blows my mind every day. +I just read an article about 500 people being killed in an earthquake. I feel so blessed that I live in a state where I don’t fear earthquakes, or severe tornado warnings, flash floods or major disasters. Of course Vermont has had our issues and weather events that caused damage, however we’re not in a region of the world where we fear for our lives at certain months of the year. I could not imagine being terrified for my children, property, and family like some of these families are. Living through an experience like that, must leave behind emotional scars while growing up. +i could care less what isis does as long its not done in my country. I think they should all be put to death and be done with it. They are a terrorist group and deserve all the bad things that are going to happen to them. I do feel bad for the lose of life and feel sympathy for the families of the officers killed. +It may make me sound horrible, but I'm torn on this. No one should have to suffer like that for the crime of theft, it's barbaric, but if it really was a twenty-something that was part of an armed gang, I'm slightly less sympathetic about their victims retaliating. If it was a child, however, this is insanity and just horrifying. +According to a new study, the polar regions are continuing to melt. In a decade, a lot of the ice melted. This situation is really affecting polar bears because they live in that environment. I found out that they ambush seals as they come up out of the water. Whether we can change this trend or not, I am not sure about but we should try. +It never ceases to amaze me that things like this as still occurring. They want to roll back regulations when things like this happened because there were none and now kids have to pay the price, but they are kids of color so they dont matter. Remember this, Flint still does not have clean water years later. The government is corrupt and the cancer starts in the Oval office and runs through his swamp. Its time to get these people out of office and to punish the companies and people that have allowed this to happened to the innocent children of America. We need more regulations not less. +Hello friend, This article scared me. I can't believe how high suicide rates have become in teens. I understand that young teens are more inclined to act impulsively. One bad day at school can triger a suicide attempt, that's crazy! Schools should do a much better job protecting children from bullying. I know that's impossible to eradicate it, but it schools and parents take the issue seriously enough, we could at least reduce the number of suicides. +We live in a different age where millennials are going to be taking over the community shortly within this decade. First we elected the first african-american president. Now we have Trump, the most controversial president of all. He may change things for better or for worse time will tell. Hopefully he can bring innovation. +Corruption in corporations are an everyday occurrence. And it seems more and more the American workers are the victims of these erroneous fat cats. It's deplorable that the CEO gets away with corporate corruption and when the conscious of the workers come into play, they fire and ruin their lively hood. The corporations are in league with Washington due to the money trails. When the money is taken out of politics things will be better. +Situations like this make you feel so helpless. I mean it's utterly awful but there's nothing you can do about it. Reading about it just feels like needlessly troubling yourself. There's a feeling of guilt too because the whole situation was brought about by the US invading their country and we could've prevented that. +It's really disturbing we have a president that enables all these terrible behaviors we are witnessing unfold before us. I am happy there movements like #Metoo exist to show people that we will not tolerate these kinds of acts. It's like these people never had mothers or sisters. The way they act is beyond comprehension and I hope the media keeps exposing people who have bad intentions. +This is just more of the western world becoming cold and inhospitable. Britain and France are both implicated in the troubles in these countries from their years as colonialists. Turning their back on these people is a mark of shame for them. It's despicable to let these people live in squalor and then to call it a jungle, as if this is 'wild' is kind of sick. The wild would have more respect and be more amenable to these people. +you can't sleep too much or too little. What else is new. I'm sure there will be a high priced drug that can solve this issue. The scientists and government of America couldn't care less about the average citizen. Look at the food supply, look at all of the drugs they want us to take. it's all about money and has nothing to do with concern for our well-being. +I know people tend to get really angry at law enforcement when a shooting or bombing doesn't get prevented, but I feel like it is way too complicated of an issue. I just read and article about it, and for law enforcement to keep enough information and follow enough leads to prevent every attack, we would need to sacrifice a lot of our civil liberties. It is just not worth it. +This is just something better to know. I am not a person who really alert about what is going on around. I never heard about this. I do not really have any comments. Just want today that it is good to find a way to save money. If you could, you can transfer this article's to whose who will find them useful. +That Kirk guy seems like a real loser. How can you lie about your military history and still get to serve as a politician. Than to attack somebody that you don't even know the facts about that person especially when they have made sacrifices for their country. So what if somebody was born somewhere else. If they have put their time and heart into a place that place is their home. +I read an article about the gender gap in the world today. Sadly the US has moved down in the list behind all of the major European countries. I guess the number of women working in senior positions is shrinking. There is also a decline of women in the labor force. But there is evidence that the education gender gap is shrinking, so there are more women educated. It just seems that more women are choosing not to work. +Take a look at this. It's very dry, and I don't understand half the words, but while I was reading it, I was feeling sort of glad that apparently plant and animal species are adapting to the warming climate. It seemed like the planet is warming slowly enough for a lot of ecosystems to adapt. And then I read the last bit, about humans and agriculture, and got cold all over again. Will we adapt, too? I gotta say, at this point, I'm hoping that volcano in Hawaii spews a gazillion tons of ash (after everyone's been evacuated, of course) into the atmosphere to block the sun and cool things down. It may be our best shot. We could only be so lucky. +I am so tired of war. Especially when all it ends in death, murder, rape, etc. What is the point of all that. Who benefits from it? It just makes me sad for all those people. It sure does make me grateful to live in a country where I do not have to deal with all that. Could you imagine waking up every day not knowing if you're going to die or blow up from a bomb? +Thank goodness for PresdientTrump hopefully this means an end to DACA and hopefully immigration reform in the near future! These people have broken the law and are here illegally yet they expect to be treated just like US citizens. DACA is a slap in the face to those immigrants who followed the law and went through the process to become legal citizens. Liberals are not adjusting very well to the defeat of Hillary - they are still crying. +I am so glad that I'm not a celebrity having my every move made public and being analyzed. It would be awful to be under that constant and never ending scrutiny. The thought of being under the constant watchful eye of the world, and them profiting from a me having a bad day makes my stomach turn. I feel bad for him in a way, I've had a few rocky relationships and I couldn't imagine going through them publicly. +That really crazy that a woman would actually push another person on to train tracks based off a disagreement. I get that you guys don't agree with something but that doesn't give you the right to take a persons life. I feel so sorry for the victims family because they lost a valuable family member over some petty dispute that would probably be forgotten the next day. Truly a tragic story that should be a learning situation for anyone with a disagreement with another individual. +I just read this article about a wolf being killed after traveling 700 miles by a government agent . I don't understand it ! There was no reason for it . It hadn't attacked or disturbed anyone so what was the point of it all ? I feel like anymore people just kill animals to kill . This is why one day so these animals will be extinct . I think that it should be against the law to kill any animal that hasn't put you in danger in and way ! This is not ok! This needs to stop ! I am disgusted by it all! +I think this situation will more or less quickly be resolved. It is just a temporary issue and I really believe the gas prices will go back to normal. I don't think there should be too much to worry about. I remember this happened around the crisis here back in 2009 and everything was settled rather quickly. +Women in Iceland protested the pay gap between men and women by arguing that a woman's salary is 30% less than the salary of a man in similar work positions, the women of Iceland decreased their working day 30% of the time daily work and went out to protest united to a square.This was supported by the majority of the community. +This is a dangerous occupation and I wish no one would do it. Some have to feed their families so I understand if it's the only job available. However- the government should make it safe for them. It is unavoidable and it seems it cannot be made safer. My condolences. I wouldn't want my family to work in one. +Just read that due to climate change, hotter than normal temps may be the new normal. In 2013, temps screamed up to 122 F. in Australia, which is frightening. But when you think about who really has the capacity to change this -- which is each individual -- it gets even more frightening. The primary cause of climate change is just too many people, full stop. I do not have much hope that people will stop procreating to save themselves, and this is the biggest tragedy of all. +Why do people hurt harmless animals? It doesn't make sense to me honestly. I look into the eyes of an animal and I can't help thinking that they don't fully understand why we would hurt them either. I think it's so cruel that people do this to animals because they trust us to keep them safe it doesn't matter if they're wild or not. This poor elephant that was chained up, and beaten, and made to do tricks just for our amusement. +Hearing about the violence going on over politics in the country is really sad and upsetting. It's easy to take for granted how we live and how lucky we are that we don't have to worry about people killing us on a daily basis. Our government is also democratic which means people have a voice. This isn't the case in some areas/ +Honestly it seems that the world is and has been providing a place for many refugees from all over for some time. I find it annoying that despite the people from africa and the middle east being evacuated from theyre previous worse situations they still feel the need to incite riot and cause chaos and show not only ungratefulness, but barbarity. +You have to read this. It's unbelievable that people could act so rash and wrong towards another human being, no matter what happened. If I were in that situation, I'd be so angry and I would want to hurt someone back. It's hard not to get caught up in the emotion of the situation since so many people got hurt. +This is so sad, but I think it had a lot to do with a bunch of college kids drinking and partying, and then something going terribly wrong. I think there was a group of kids that started arguing with the guy and one got pretty riled up and hit the guy. I find it interesting that there were things that were not being commented on. I think there's a lot more to this story than what the school is reporting. +I just read a horrible article online about 10 people getting hurt after a huge fire started in an apartment complex in Arizona. That is so horrible I really feel bad for them. The say that eight of the people had minor injuries so that is good that it was only minor. Unfortunately one person had to be taken to the hospital but they are in stable condition so that is good news. Apparently two people outside of the apartment were also hurt by the fire some how. I think they were able to get the fire under control pretty easily though cause it only lasted around 10 minutes. They had to have the gas company come and shut off the gas and apparently they are investigating what could have caused the fire in the first place. That reminds me of the fire that happened at my neighbors house. +Take a look at this story about a forest being decimated and what is happening to the monkeys there. So sad. Think you would be interested in reading it. The government is doing nothing to stop the deforestation or anything to protect the monkeys. I know that it is not local to us, but still a sad thing to read about. +Did you read this story about the mountain climber who died trying to climb a mountain in Vietnam? It was very sad. The girlfriend begged him to get help but he refused until it was too late. I feel so bad for his family and girlfriend he left behind. I do take comfort in knowing that's what he wanted to do and he died following what he wants. +Did you hear about the three people who died on Halloween night? It happened in Mississippi on a highway. Someone hit a trailer that was pulling people on a highway. Several people were injured, but three were killed. Authorities say that the three killed were related to one another. That is so sad and breaks my heart. It was most likely a family, a mother and her kids, or a father and his kids. It really makes me sad when I read about it because I cannot help but imagine how much fun and excitement this family was experiencing before the accident happened. The article did not say if the driver who caused the accident was drunk or on drugs. I wish people were more alert while on the road. Accidents like this are completely preventable. And now three people are no longer with us. +Shit happens. People die for no real reason all the time. It’s unfortunate for these people, but they’re not alone or special in their grief. Maybe if the ride was found to be mechanically defective they can sue and gets some money. Otherwise it’s just another sad story out of so many others like it in the world. +This really saddens me that people are so lost now a days. It never solves anything to hurt other people and this just shows a lack of judgement and remorse. It feels as though there had been a disconnect with humanity and we do not have the respect for each other that e once had. I hope that this person can find their way to a better path. +Hey, remember that eighties song "You Spin me Right Round" that people like to laugh about? The guy responsible for that just dies recently, he seemed like he was pretty interesting. I heard that he was on the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother, but I bet that show is just as boring as the American version. It's so interesting how the celebrity culture over there compares to over here. +I can't imagine the fear and anger that must be happening for these people to not only be attacked in this manner but to be in such a remote area that help cannot get you in a timely fashion. These senseless acts are obviously those of cowards that have no regard for human life and should be captured and dealt with harshly. There is not enough room in this world for people that would do this to others for any cause or religion. I hope that everyone that can be saved and cared for is able to get what they need in order to recover physically. I know that the emotional healing for all of them and their families will take much more time and help for these poor people that have had to endure such an atrocity. I can only hope we never see events such as this in my own family. +this is a very tricky story, Cook a 20-year-old business major with no criminal history, has seemingly been charged, tried, and convicted. there is a lot of evidence coming out to accuse him of sexual harassment and rape but he denies and calls it consensual acts of sex. His lawyer has asked that cook is not crucified on what is being said but by facts. +Thats pretty crazy that someone died in Jakarta. I don't even know what the whole issue was but just to think that just like that your life could be over. I get that politics is a pretty nasty sport but really when you think about it, it's quite different around the world then it is here. People think our current state of the nation is bad, can you just imagine being in some of these other countries where there seems to be nothing but endless political strife. I've even seen government members punch each other in meetings in some foreign governments. The world is such a crazy place. +rember when Kim Kardashian was attacked in Paris? I just read another famous person, Mallika Sherawat was tear gassed and beaten :( It is so sad you can not feel safe anywhere! I am glad she is outspoken and is bringing awareness to this whole ordeal. I feel so bad for all these people just minding their own business and being attacked. +A 22-year-old guy lost control of his Volkswagen and caused a head-on collision with a van. In addition to him and his passenger dying, a mother and two young children in the van were also killed. The van actually burst into flames. The teenage girl and her cousin in the van were the only ones able to escape. This is truly heartbreaking. I hope the impact killed them and they didn't have to suffer through the fire. +Lmao why has no one told me about this. This i\should be like public information from insurance companies but of course they are trying the most amount of money off of their customers . Us safe drivers are the reason why they are profitable in the first place, so they could do their part and give us discounts for our safe driving practices +Looks like India and Pakistani relations are going straight to hell. It is unclear if it was really sanctioned by their government, but Pakistan shelled across the border and killed 13 Indian civilians. Pakistan is saying India shelled them back and killed 6 of theirs. They are having some sort of dispute over their border and neither side really wishes to backdown. India claims they were destroying a terrorist encampment on the Pakistan side of the border, and Pakistan claims they bombed one of their military bases. The whole thing is a big mess and can't help the stability of the region. +Did you hear that 1 person died and 7 more were injured in Indonesia? It is pretty amazing how hearing about these things in other parts of the world don't surprise me but if they happened here where we live it would be very shocking and disturbing to hear about. I bet they were motivated by religion because over there they are very strict and kill people who don't agree with them. +Now a days for money people are doing anything, school children to make addict of porn websites and make porn video from them, i will tell one incident. The former elementary school volunteer accused of producing child pornography involving students as young as 9 has been indicted on two additional sex. The Guy Deonte Carraway, 23, of Glenarden, now faces a total of 15 federal counts of sexual exploitation of a minor to produce child pornography. The federal charges are separate from local charges that Carraway faces in Prince George’s County, where a local grand jury indicted him on 270 counts of sex crimes and child pornography involving 23 children as young as 9 years old. +I just read an article about some chowder-head who used a hammer and a pick ax to destroy Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Wow, what a great protest. You sure showed him. Good job. Lol, can you believe this garbage? Who has such a hollow and pathetic life that they don't have anything better to do with their time than commit petty vandalism because they dislike some politician? What a dingus. +The tweets attacked her personally, she explained in a blog post on Thursday, and celebrated the end of “Mockingbird.” “Mockingbird is canceled,” Cain had tweeted early last week. “But we need to make sure @Marvel makes room for more titles by women about women kicking ass.” She also tweeted out the cover of the last “Mockingbird” issue and encouraged followers to buy that issue and “send a message to @marvel that there’s room in comics for super her stories about grown-up women. +I think protests these days are getting out of hand. It's one thing if people want to protest peacefully, but it's another if they are damaging property and being aggressive and dangerous. I believe people should have a right to protest, but some laws must be in place. If you can't follow them there will need to be consequences. +What won’t people post? Some mom posted a picture on Instagram of her 2-day-old C-Section scar to remind people that it’s no picnic. I guess it’s an unsolicited public service message of sorts. She had some sort of tumor that made it necessary. She had the baby and that’s the god news. Surprisingly, she got about 1200 “likes” in total. I found myself wanting to out of sympathy. Who needs birth control with this kind of publicity? She says she loves her scar. Go figure… All in all, I think she’s happy it’s over. +The article talked about a person who took matters into their own hands where after their card was declined at Starbucks, he went back and ended up shooting a customer that was inside. This is the PRIME example of where there should be a serious look at our gun laws. Sure there is that second amendment that allows for the right to bear arms but look at how much our society has changed. Should that not be taken into account when thinking about the possibility that maybe not everyone should actually have that right? It's really sad how much our society has devolved into this constant chaos of shootings, violence, and terror. +The whole situation with Dr. Luke and Kesha got way out of hand. I feel so bad for Kesha because she simply became a victim of the music industry and lost her voice in the process. Dr. Luke should be ashamed of himself for treating Kesha so badly and trying to make her into something that she wasn't. I'm glad that she got the help that she needed and is making strides toward her own recovery. +I just read an article about the hate and racism in America since Donald Trump won the election. It talked about "countless acts of hate" beggining from day one of Trumps presidency. I thought the article was misleading. You cannot blame allready existing problems on a newly elected official. There was no facts or statisticis supporting the claims made in the article. +I can not believe that their is still such hate in the world. When I read stories like this I think about how we really need to come together and rid the world of such hate. All those times we talked about things like this happening all over the world really make you think about your own life and what we are doing to make a change/positive impact on the world. I think it is very sad to see lives wasted in this manner such as careless deaths that will get no one anywhere. I know that you have told me a lot of the same things, so I wanted to see how you felt about this too. +As someone who graduated with a STEM degree I know firsthand just how few women there are in the field. It's very sad, and it does indeed rob us of talent. All you have to do is look around to see how America is still a man-run country. The number of women in power is small, and women feel conflicted between what society says they should do and what they want to do. After all, many have aspirations besides raising kids. Who says that the 'house-mom' idea is right? The gender gap needs to close, and the wage gap. Women are not paid as much as men. That's a fact. +India just confirmed its participation in the Paris Climate Accord. I think it's great that the larger countries of the world are willing to step in and say that things need to change. I also really like that they made the announcement on Gandhi's birthday. I think that's a nice and respectful way to honor his legacy. +Educational videos can be helpful, but this seems rather silly to me. I would not consider applying make up on a train a pet peeve and I'm surprised it was on a list of complaints from other people. But we have to remember that this is a different culture as well so may be seen as something negative in Japan. I would agree on the issue of beauty that was mentioned in the article. It shouldn't be biased, only informative. +It is terrible that our political system is so dysfunctional that one man can cause so much harm arounf the world. The result of American ignorance will mean a great deal of pain in many lives, including those of our next-door neighbor. I wish we valued experts more such that we could introduce policies that help all people--which is quite possible. Diplomacy and politics are not a zero-sum game: there are no enemies unless we create them. All people have value and choosing knee-jerk hate will only harm us in the long run. +Hey. I just read an article about Somali refugees in America and I had many thoughts. I understand where these refugees are coming from. Having to leave their home and come to a foreign country where they don't know many people and having others not want you there. I understand that they had to leave their home country because of whatever issues the country was having but I wonder if these refugees could try a bit harder. It's hard to come here as an immigrant and I'm sure way more harder to come as a refugee but taking initiatives to push forward and somehow make it work would be the best thing possible. It did make me feel sad for them. I wondered if it's possible to give them more aid based on working or something to reward them for being a member of society. +It is very tragic to hear this news regarding the circumstances that many animals are facing in various zoos across the globe. It seems that human nature is causing these animals to be subjected to lives they shouldn't have to endure. If they were released into nature then maybe they would have a fighting chance but at the same time, most of them have been raised in the zoo perhaps so their "social skills" in nature may be quite the detriment as well. I just wish that some organization(s) could rescue them and take care of them the way they ought to be. No animal should really have to live in a zoo, to begin with, and now they are suffering from malnourishment and lack of care. It is tragic to read about this but it is the world in which we live. +I think it is really fucked up that people continue to mess with the environment. Corporations and these oil fuckers should stopped. They are damaging the environment to no end! Someone needs to sit down with CEOs and ask them, "Why do you want billions if you won't be able to enjoy it in the future when the environment is completely fucked?" Seriously, where is a CEO going to travel to enjoy his millions and stay at luxury resort villas when the environment is completely fucked? The luxury resort will be gone!! His wealth will end up amounting to nothing when he can't even enjoy it. His future children will have millions passed down but they won't fully enjoy it because the planet will be fucked! What the fuck? These people are morally fucking bankrupt, only bankrupt they'll ever know. +These poor people. I hope the researchers can find a way to help them. The thought that you can't even use the water that is deep in the ground due to arsenic contamination is horrible. This is a sign of the times, however, and I believe as populations grow, water is going to be a big commodity due to the scarcity of clean water. +I feel like the world is so corrupt that it no longer makes me feel anything. I expect the worst from this world and only am surprised when something exceedingly good happens. That is a shame that such a gruesome scene cannot even make me feel anything. The world is a cesspool and we no longer have any integrity to show for it. +the person that rented out the appartment i feel was in the wrong doing because they didnt own the place so when the damages came it he wasnt able to fix the problems making it the owners problem which led to them finding out and having to file the law suite for 20k to get there money back so it was a messy situtation +While reading this, I can't help but think about how much of politics nowadays is about money. How many millions of dollars is spent trying to convince people that someone is a good person and right for the job. It should be like any other position. Work hard. Do good. Build a resume you can be proud of and let that speak for itself! +It's always sad to hear someone losing their lives, especially during a terrible crash such as Yu Xu, who was the first woman to fly a Chinese fighter jet. It's even worse that it happened during a training mission, and not a real mission. I hope her family can find peace and that she can be remembered for her positivity and caring towards others. +I think it is crazy to think that the Zika virus is just going to disappear. I'm really worried about getting bit by an infected mosquito and then getting pregnant. I wouldn't want anything to happen to my baby. This person thinks that we should just put girls in a room with infected mosquito's and let them get bit. I don't think you can prevent immunity that way. I don't think this virus is just going to disappear. I think something has to be done to prevent it from infecting more people. It needs to be controlled. I think it is sad for those that have already gotten the virus. Something has to be done to help these poor people. +Once again, another group of innocent people negatively impacted by this buffoon and his horrific policies and his agenda. It still floors me that this immoral idiot is now the President of the United States. I've lost all respect for our government and the government "officials" who run our country. +How can anyone, in this day and age, still believe that climate change is not real? I imagine it's the same people who believe the earth is flat. We should be working towards clean and renewable energy but of course there are fights all across the way because people want to make money. Also replacing infrastructure is hard. But, that's not an excuse when you know that entire parts of the country might expand into a desert. This is especially true of North America. +Hello friend, I'm so glad I don't have a Wells Fargo account. I've hated this company for a long time. I've heard from friends that have an account there that they hated it. It's not surprising that Wells Fargo was opening fake accounts. Imagine the headache of having to deal with that on your credit report. Those customers should be compensated big time for this. Of course, nobody will be prosecuted. +I just read about Arnold Palmer dying. He was a fixture on Sunday afternoons watching golf. I really wish that he was still around, I will miss him out on the course. He has always been around since I was a kid, even when he quit playing he would be out there for the major championships. I think it will be different watching them without him around. He was a genuinely nice man. +It's no surprise that they're finally learning just how traumatic middle school can be--for everyone involved. Looking back, I can say that the person I was in middle school is almost like a stranger to me know. I was completely different before and after middle school, and during those three years themselves it was like I was someone I'd never met. God bless the mothers who stick with us throughout it all. +It's truly awful anytime some sick minded individual decides to take the life of others for literally no reason other than just to do it. Arcan Cetin was believed to be the one who shot up a maul and killed numerous people. It really is alarming at what goes wrong in these people's lives that makes them do such thing. +Oh man, I feel perturbed. Why do people have to keep suffering and dying so we can understand that strict gun control is necessary, who needs to die? How many people? This is just a sad and crazy story repeating itself, over and over again. We need to understand that as long as anyone can get a gun, nobody is safe. +This was terrible! I'm so glad that those guys got arrested. It's never okay to throw bottles at people, I don't care who you are or what the circumstances are. That poor kid almost died. I mean why? For nothing. Because of a stupid fan rivalry? What do you guys think? Agree or disagree? I can't see how you could take a different stance on it, but just for kicks and giggles. I mean I'm all for sports and stuff but if you get out of control and you hurt someone, that's on you. This is supposed to be fun. These games aren't supposed to be violent, and continued behavior along these lines could damage the reputation of the game, the fans, and the organization. I don't condone it at all and I don't think that you should either. So there you go, that's that. There you go. That's that. There. +I feel really bad for these orangutans. They must have been treated so bad to be in the condition they are in when they were found. Those things should never have been bought and trades and put in a domesticated situation. It's good that they're being taken care of. Hopefully they can recover and go back to where they came from. +This is going to sound insensitive, but this article was rather dry. And I just realized that that was a horrible pun. Anyways, this article is illustrating the harm of over pumping water sources in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It sounds like a really terrible situation, with arsenic being a terrible poison that's being pushed around by all of this negligence. You should read it. +Let's be real for a second - politics is and always has been a cruel and nasty game. These politicians throw insults at each other for months in order to win. That's what competition portrays itself as in politics. For this woman to suddenly become offended when she has thrown around plenty of insults herself is not just hypocritical, but also shows a lot of weakness on her part. I don't like her policies anyways! +So I read an article on Leon Russell passing away. I really do not listen to rock and roll music like that, but from the article you can just see how many people he has touched in his life in positive ways. There was even a quote from Elton John talking about how influential Russel was in his own life, and the impact he had on his stardom. +This man should be found guilty. There is no way he forgot that his son was in the car. The child would have been able to speak. He would have been in a front facing car seat. there is no way he didn't see him. He is guilty and he needs to be punished. He should be put in prison for life. This poor child suffered a great deal and this man needs to suffer. +Look at this nonsense. We can put dudes on the moon and videochat across the planet with anyone we like, but we STILL can't make containers for fuel that don't leak everywhere? You know that "Cui bono" thing I told you about? At this point I think someone (probably the environazis) benefit from this enough to keep doing it. How about we build pipelines for the oil? Oh right, environazis again, complete with the trash heap they left behind after their protest. +I wanted to write a bit to you regarding an article I just read about the Confederate Flag. Initially my feelings are a bit sadden by all the news and attention this situation is creating. I myself on the one hand would sympathize with those who are in support of the flag, like putting myself in their shoes. In matters of free choice, if it is their choice to want to display the flag, I support their right of free choice. I am also in sympathy with those that may find offense of the Confederate Flag. It may in fact open up old wounds, and bring back hurtful memories. However I fully support our President's view. President and Mr. Donald Trump feels that the Confederate Flag should be placed in a museum. That course of action is an intelligent response, for both sides of the issue. I agree. +I think it is exciting to learn about new ways to save money in my day to day life. I am thrilled to learn that there is a potentially far more cost effective way for me to live each day, which will put me on my way towards making my dreams come true. I am intrigued by the service and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into something that could be of great service down the road. +I just read the most disturbing article about Terry Jones -- that actor who used to be on Monty Python. Apparently he has a relatively serious form of dementia known as primary progressive aphasia which affects the ability to speak, recall words, and generally be able to communicate with people. So terribly sad. I can't even imagine how his family must feel. It would be terrible to watch someone you love slowly deteriorate like that,. +Wow, what an amazing story. I had no idea that the zika virus could cause such horrific developmental problems in children. As a parent of 2 myself, nothing scares me more than to think about all the horrible things that could happen to my kids in this world, and what I would do to prevent them from having to endure such things. What a terrible disease, and one that we know so little about and have essentially no real medicine type treatment for! I'm sure it's only a matter of time before this makes it's way closer to where I live! Scary! +This is a sad story. There is a Rhino Orphanage, but a beloved rhino just passed about. They tried so hard to save this rhino, and unfortunately the baby rhino named Thula is the area that this happened in. It never gets easier. The other rhinos here are being taken care of, but it was a great loss, and we all feel so bad about it. The name of the baby rhino was Isibindi, and she will be missed. +I just don't believe this article. It definitely seemed to lean towards a very liberal bias. I just have a tough time believing the numbers on this one. I would like to see where they got their figures. Unfortunately, I feel that everyone is just against Trump. It doesn't matter what he does!!! +I think its sick having these kids working. These kids should be playing and having an education. Why are they doing this? This just shows you how much people care about money. Its disgusting. Human beings are disgusting. I feel so ashamed. God will punish all of these people. We are just being controlled. Someone needs to put this to an end. I really hope these children get the life they deserve. This is why there is a lot of people suffering from depression because of these terrible things going on. +Hello there, I think this situation in Haiti needs our attention. It's clear that these people are suffering after such a catastrophe befell them. I urge you to donate and make a difference in these people's lives especially the children who are suffering and don't have anything to eat. Every dollar will count I think +I have never heard of any of the people mentioned in this article. I did not even know that there is a monarchy in Thailand. It sounds like the king that died recently was very well liked by the Thai people. Anyway, I hope that this lady heals quickly from her illness and that she has a prompt recovery. +I cannot stand Donald Trump and his fear mongering. Most Muslim people I know are very, very kind people. It is so unfortunate there are so many hate crimes because of the ignorance our President continues to blast on twitter. It's not just Muslims. It's everyone that is not part of the Alt-White movement. Jewish people, LBGTQ people. Black people. It is fueled by hate and ignorance. Trumps Muslim ban did more harm than good! He just caused fear, creating a deeper divide in our country. It's sad. +Honestly I do feel bad for him but at the same time you should not be taking a selfie around an animal that is clearly so dangerous. Pythons are really dangerous animals and I get that the man had rescued the reptile from a local hotel but even still, you need to have your eyes on that thing at all times. I feel like some people are not as responsible as they should be, and that goes for anything. People are too busy spending their life looking through the viewfinder of their smartphone camera and are so busy trying to document everything online in their desperate, never ending quest for more likes and followers that they are willing to put their personal safety on the line, and that's really sad and I think it really speaks to where we're going as a society as well, and it's frustrating. +This is old news, really. We all know Trump won...and no one really saw it coming. No one thought he could win, every step of the way...and yet he did. He's in office...he's messing things up...whatever. We can only hope Mueller does something and/or that someone else wins in 2020. I'm tired of hearing about it. +Isnt it crazy man that more and more sports legends are starting to pass away? Him and Jack were perhaps the most important icons in golf. Have you ever had an Arnold Palmer? It's a really good drink too. We should share a few Arnold Palmers later on today to honor the life of this great man. Should we hit a few rounds today as well? I mean I know you're a big gold fan, so I understand how this is upsetting you. I will send you more articles about him later on today so we can talk more about him. What do you think? Who do you think was better? Jack or Arnold? What about tiger? Either way, I hope you get this article and it helps lift your spirits a bit. I cannot really connect to the article since I am not a big golf person, but I still think we should honor the man. +hey guys as you can see here an elderly woman has come up and was taken tot he hospital by the police and they are requesting asistance trying to identify her and see who knows her if any of you have seen this woman or know any of her relatives or her name that would really ebhelpful in helping the police get her back with her family and reunite with them if you have any tips o nay sort pleas ome forward and csll the police +Reading about the sniper shooting the wolf was heartbreaking and anger inducing. I would have been very angry if i was the one tracking the wolf and found out the wolf i had been following had been killed by an irresponsible asshole. Wolves are a majestic animal and i believe the guy that shot the wolf should be brought up on charges +Hey I thought you'd be interested in this article I just read about the complications associated with contact lenses. I know you were considering allowing Mary to get contacts instead of her glasses this year. It seems that complications can range from microbial infections to complete blindness! Interestly, the CDC notes that there are less incidents with the disposable lenses. Have you considered them at all? +Trump should really not underestimate the blacks. They got complacent after two Obama terms, and didn't come out in force like they should have for the election. Now that Trump is in office, I don't think there's any way he can win the black vote, and that would definitely sway the election in 2020. I really think Trump's days are numbered, whether it's impeachment or defeat in the next election. +Friends and family, this is another tragic incident. This involves a troubled boy who was literally body slammed by a teacher. He then was rushed to the hospital but they could not do much for him even through all of their best efforts. In the end he had to have his leg removed. This is tragic and we should seek justice for this child! +How horrible! I don't care what crime anyone has committed, beating a person and then setting them on fire is detestable! I hope and pray that the authorities will be able to find out where this video originated from and bring the perpetrators to justice! It makes me sick that a human being could do that to another human! +this kind of stuff always makes me afraid to even go outside.If there is something to catch someone will just bring it to others and it is just something that is horrible and not what I would want to put onto others.It makes me afraid that it could spread and would make things worse for everyone and drive others to panic. +I understand why this is a problem but I don't see any reason to get upset over it. It seemed like they were writing about it with more emotion than the situation deserves. Trees die all the time. They're replaced by something else. It's extremely common. I get that it's worth given current climate conditions but still. +You mean you can't breathe in smog and pollution and walk away unscathed? Who knew?! This article states so much obviousness, that you would hope people were already aware of these issues. You have cancer? Well, you had better move away from that smog bowl you live in! India and China are both owners of some nasty smog infested cities. Not surprised. +Ha. Get him, snake! I'm so proud of that snake. If you don't want to be crushed by an angry python, maybe don't use the poor thing to do tricks for people. I mean, crushing the warm thing until it stops moving is kind of what giant snakes do. I hope they didn't kill the snake, poor baby. She was just defending herself, basically. +There is a bacteria outbreak in Wisconsin. Fever, chills, shortness of breath and has killed a few people. The problem is they do not understand or can't identify where the bug is coming from. Tap water or ground water is unlikely but they can't rule it out. Pretty scary. Its not a superbug in a sense that it does respond to some medicines. +This is something that the Geneva Convention would ban from use in warfare, as it is inhumane and immoral as a tactic. I am very saddened by the turmoil in the middle east. Often I think about how we got here and why it got so bad and blame the powerful and privileged countries, including mine, have caused these conflicts. It feels like it will never end, a hopeless situation. I feel powerless to help anyone over there myself, I can only vote here and hope for the best in the end. Maybe someday the people over there will be much safer and happier. +This article I just read is pretty disturbing. It's about a guy who was trying to warm up inside a hot spring that fell into one that was way too hot, and was basically boiled alive. It's sad, and apparently one of the people with him caught it on camera. The really disturbing part comes when the authorities couldn't get to the body because of how hot it was, and when they came back, they discovered that it had dissolved completely. That part creeped me out. +Hey, Measles is still killing kids around the world basically in the countries that don't take care of their people. The governments and terrorist organizations like Boko Haram don't care about kids. I gotta think this is just another example of pure evil, killing kids all the while the government takes aid, money, food, or whatever and keeps it for themselves or sells it to the people and puts them in servitude. God bless the USA! +I cannot believe what I'm reading. Details of that Wells Fargo new accounts scam, how the lowly bank tellers would make up accounts because they were paid so low and badgered so much that they felt obligated to cheat like this. For shame. I'm surprised these details didn't get really publicized when this thing was happening. +Man it crazy I just read an article about a disaster that struck Colatina, Brazil. The disaster struck when a dam ruptured and polluted the most important river in Brazil where people were getting their foods and surviving from what the river had to offer. Now it it polluted with mining waste because of the rupture of the dam. I feel really bad that they are in a position where they cant even eat the fish in the river because the fish showed some kind of mutation because of the pollution. It really sucks that a company just pays a minimal amount after causing a huge disaster like this totally unfair +Well, I totally understand the people to make a deliberate choice of not having children. It is such physically and emotionally charged task. I would say it is impossible to do it right. Infants, middle schoolers, high schoolers… It is not easy for kids to be kids, to depend on parents who are also struggle with their problems and issues. The issues of communication, balancing, keeping priorities are especially importance in the relationships with your middle school children: it is critical time to form your lifelong relationship with them and, probably, it is one of the most challenging period. +There was a person in the articles that was muslim and at a bar for nightly events. They got into a dispute with another person and then the other person killed them. The investigators said something about donald trump and his hatred toward muslim people maybe having something to do with making the murderer feel justified in his actions. +It's terrifying to think that suicide is becoming more common in younger and younger children. I can believe that it happens with teenagers, but it's starting to become more common in children and preteens too. I can't imagine the anguish you would feel to lose a young child to suicide. I can't imagine how you would move on from that. +See what I told ya! If kids are bored they will eventually be up to no good. Here is this man just minding his own business and he's attacked by a bunch of teens on bikes! The kid that threatened him with the bottle was probably just trying to show off to his friends. I mean, this did happen in Scotland but it could've been right in our backyards as well. I think we really need to rethink our commitment to the youth center. I firmly believe that when kids have a place to go and things to do, they are less inclined to get caught up in this kind of mischief! +What I learned is that one of the things I learned was Allah is with the patient people, that only Allah can protect a person, that Allah Is the best protector, Good and bad come from him alone, that we should depend on him for everything, that he will reward the believers who are suffering for having patience because Allah I always with the good people, I believe justice will be served on judgement day. +I can not believe the struggle that has to be. And for god sake, all of them are mostly arsons, well into the 70% range. I can't believe that at all. Seems a bit high but I guess people just have no respect for nature or other peoples lives. Having your house burn down in a wild fire has to be one of the worst things that coudl happen to someone. All your belongings, all those memories, the life you built and the family or friends you surroudned yourself with. Gone. Well hopefully not your family gone cause then you'd really be in trouble but your hosue at least and sentimental things. I hope that never happens to you. +It can be a hard experience to go through, but I feel that this was a good article about the conditions of Haiti. It's not in a very good state and has gone through some tough trials. The people are in need of support, supplies, resources, hope, and cooperation. The writing was very descriptive of what has happened and may come in the future. I think you'd find this interesting to read. +There is something very, very wrong with someone who thinks nothing of hurting a fellow human being. How heartless someone must also be to take the life of another human no one has the bloody right to take. And how rotten one must be to hurt an innocent animal that is without sin and any capability of purposely doing harm. +I'm not sure why this qualifies as news...I don't care about whatever is happening in Mariah Carey's life. I especially don't care about guys making other guys jealous....I feel for her ex boyfriend or husband or whatever, as it's not cool to purposely make an ex jealous. She could still meet him but I would do it away from cameras. +Things are really bad in Afghanistan right now - I just read an article about the latest. Refugees from European countries are being sent home to Afghanistan, only to see the turmoil first-hand. And there are problems with resources getting to the people who need them. So many displaced people in bad shape. I wish countries would get together and share resources and welcome immigration. If everyone had enough resources to live comfortably, things would surely improve. +A bus driver, going about doing his business, supporting the community, has had his life taken from him in what is a senseless and needless act." Taxi driver Aguek Nyok helped passengers escape. He was in the area meaning to get a haircut and kicked the bus door three times before managing to break it open. "All the people were at the back trying to get out of the bus but they couldn't get out the front because of the flames," he told the Courier-Mail newspaper. "They couldn't open the back door so I kicked it down and they all came running out. "It was one of the two: you get the people out or they're going to die." Mr Nyok said there were three children among the passengers. Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said it was "a very, very sad day for the council and the wider community". Flags +It is time to end this war and bring our troops home. We have been in Afghanistan for almost 18 years. That is insane. Our original purpose was to fight Al-Qaeda which we accomplished a long time ago. Then our goal was to kill Bin Laden, this was also accomplished a long time ago. This is a war with no end game. +These days, women are winning in sports. There has been so many instances of men prevailing in their sport that it is now time that women do the same. Sports have been men's things for so long and I am happy to see that there are women joining the ranks of these top athletes. I am so proud of my species and how we have come so far in equality. I love that there are more even playing grounds now. +How I wish some leaders were like Barrack Obama because some do not believe that global warming is happening.He has encouraged people to start protecting the environment to avoid global warming from harming us.Some countries have already signed up agreements that will help them like the paris agreement. +hello andrea I know it's only been 2 weeks since you went to japan but I hope it's good for you and that especially be very careful remember that it's a different country with a different ethnicity things are very different there I hope you take care of everything since There's a lot of prostitution away from the evils and you'll be a good friend until later +I think this is a terrible story to hear. For a family to be torn apart like that is just heart wrenching. It is such a tragedy for all involved to be lost due to a temporary lapse in judgment. I hope the father can come to grips with the situation and eventually find some kind of lasting peace, and be able to go on with his life after a loss of this magnitude. +I guess the Indigenous people get screwed again. Technology and progress is always messing with them. I'm kinda worried about the fishing I do. I fish a good bit and eat what I catch. I hope there isn't any methylmercury in the fish I eat. If there is, I wonder if it has messed me up some. That could be where some of my health problems come from. Maybe it's time to stop eating the fish I catch. +The thought of suffering from sleep paralysis is quite unnerving. It would seemingly be akin being a prisoner in one's own body. I would encourage anyone suffering from such issues to have such an issue investigated by a doctor. It is very fortunate that we live in a time where doctors can assist individuals with such issues, so people should really seek help. +i was reading about the war in Iraq. not gonna lie, i couldnt read it all. logically you know "war is hell" but all the details of it were too much for me. i tried, but reading of who's got a head head injury, who got gassed, it was too much. I flinch when i hear the words "suicide bomber" on the news, so reading about people being dragged into the city to be used as human sheilds was too much. I dont get it. how can people be so horrible to each other. bomb and attacks require calculated effort i just cant comprhend. +If you have gone through war, gone through hell, you should expect that when you come home to the country that you have been fighting to protect that they will take care of you in some way instead of throwing you out into the cold and basically tell you good luck. It is heartbreaking to know people out there are in poverty, but especially to know that our war veterans are treated this way. +I thought this was a pretty interesting article. I learned some things about Moldovan politics. It might be relevant to some of what you and I were talking about some time ago. In any case, it has some new facts that have come to light, as it were, new information or opinions that I had not fully considered prior to reading this article. +This is a sad state of affairs, but what do you expect from a country that is as corrupt as Russia. The ruling class has a stranglehold on the wealth and the average person gets next to nothing. The country is barely a step above a third world country in most parts, while the rich get richer and Putin profits. There is not that much difference now than in the 70's and 80's except now the corruption is out in the open and there are billionaires all over the place. +Another sad story. I am deeply sorry for the families of the innocent civilians that were killed but our United States army has to do what it has to do in order to protect our great country and keep us all safe as Americans. Living in those types of countries is a risk and sometimes innocent peoples lives have to be taken in order to keep us safe and protect our country. +For all the married couples out there, please think twice before you cheat on your beloved spouse. Is it really worth to throw away years of experiences down the drain just to have fun with a random stranger for a night? These celebrity scandals are such a joke, all the times I look on the news and these relationships barely last. +There is people starving and going without any food. Some of these people used to have jobs and ate well before they fell on bad times. They are suffering and going without basic nessicities. One mother went as far as trying to boil grass for her children to eat. I cant imagine lacking so much nutrition and suffering so bad +Hey friend did you check out this article. We should do our best to protect ourselves and our loved ones from Zika. I know that when my wife was pregnant I paid close attention to the news in order to be up to date with developments. It is really sad to see children being born with microphely. I really hope something will be done. +Wow talk about crazy. I know the situation in Africa was bad, but I just always feel it never gets better. You told me that you're visiting in a few weeks. Can you ensure me that you will be okay? I am worried about you and want to maker sure you're okay. Hopefully your missionary work will yield good results. Maybe I will read about you in an article in a few months helping over all. Anyways, I hope this reaches you. +It kind of worries me a little bit because sometimes I go through phases where I have a really hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. It's so weird. It happens or no reason and it last's for like 2 weeks and then all of a sudden stops and doesn't happen again for awhile. Sometimes I'm so tired and I really want to fall asleep but I just can't. I try everything, melatonin, warm milk, an eye mask and a fan or white noise but nothing works and then all of a sudden I'm fine again and no problems. +I was shocked at these statistics. temperatures are becoming dangerously high. the culprits is the fossil fuel industries. we need to hold them accountable, the government has failed, But how can we have faith in our governments to take this action when they continue to hand nearly hundreds of billions of dollars in government subsidies to the coal, gas, and oil industries? Ending these subsidies would be a giant step towards solving the climate crisis saving giga onnes of carbon dioxide emissions, and helping make clean energy cheaper than fossil fuels, we need to do something and do it now +A Cincinnati Zoo had improper safety regulations which led to a 3 year old boy falling into a Gorilla pit. This was the Harambe thing everyone was talking about years ago. They ended up shooting the Gorilla in an attempt to prevent the child from getting hurt, but there was a lot of uproar over whether it was necessary or not. It's a happy ending for the kid but I really wish both lived. +I read an article about making the ivory trade legal, and it said it could cause the extinction of elephants. I find it extremely disturbing, since I can't imagine elephants being extinct. It makes me really angry that poachers are able to kill so many elephants, and that even if it's legal to trade ivory, the demand is still really high. I think finding a substitute for ivory is a better choice. No one actually needs ivory, and keeping it illegal seems like a better idea. +I think we should just leave them where they are. They're not causing any problems. They're too dangerous and too costly to try to move. There hasn't been great reports of them starving. They should be fine to roam around there for now. We don't want to waste tax dollars to try to deal with a dangerous situation. +Apparently the giant albatross is being destroyed by giant mice that have overrun one of their main breeding islands. I don't exactly understand how, but the parents haven't learned that the mice are a threat and just sit there and watch them eat the babies. Seeing as how they are meat eaters you'd think the mice would provide an easy snack. +I agree with this article completely. I used to take the pill for awhile and it did change my moods and make me feel weird and just off. So I switched to the depo shot and same thing. It made me feel super depressed and also made me gain a lot of weight. I have had some kind of bad side effect with every birth control I've ever tried. I refuse to take any form of birth control now except for condoms and I track my cycle so I know when I'm fertile. +What I have learned from Aghanistan is that they are really the source of corruption in the middle east. Afghanistan went through bad conditions in the last three decades but in the new government of HAMID KARZAI from 2000 it's started developing again many reconstruction and other works can be seen.It's going to take a lot of work though. +Hello, I thought this behavior was a thing of the past, but read this article, it is rather enlightening. I often think here in the US there is a great divide on how racial issues are dealt with, and the US is not the only one. There are many racial problems in other countries and that makes me feel hopeless for the future. If we can't fix the issues here in America, how can we critizice other countries? +just another fucked up mental sickness of american police against its black residents, I honestly have no idea why they have to be so sensitive with their fucking guns, they shoot people as if people can respawn after being shot or something, police should think twice before taking out people's lives with no legitimate reason, I guess it's good that police have body cam, so the public can see what shame they are brining upon themselves +This is sad and such a strange case. I don't know who to side on. While it would have been good to stop the boat to look it also might not have mattered depending on where he fell into the water. I don't really care about them being gay or the fact that they say they were harassed that shouldn't matter in the case anyway. +A Russian fighter jet crashed into the Mediterranean Sea as it attempted to land on an aircraft carrier. The pilot safely ejected from the aircraft. Many Russian naval vessels are not off the coast of Syria in Russia's support of the Syrian government. Many Britains are concerned over Russian warships traveling through British waters. But Russia says its focus is about maintaining and safeguarding it's maritime economic activity and responding to new kinds of piracy and international terrorism. +As it turns out, male models do not make as much as their female counterparts. I was not aware this was the case. The reasoning seems to be that male models have a longer career, whereas women are considered going downward after thirty. The gap in pay between them is quite high. Some people are doing their best to split the wages more fairly, but it appears to be the default to pay women more in this industry. I think more men are paying attention to their grooming habits. I hope that men will earn more fair wages in the future. +so Trump's guy of SCOTUS is anti LGBTQ. he's so far off the mark its insane. wants to outlaw gay sex basically. like, WHO is gonna enforce what happens in someones bedroom? I cant with this adminstration anymore. where will it end? just let people love who they want... crazy homophobes are gonna make america a whole new version of hell +How can they do this to these people? Did you see this? How can you move people who were fleeing war and violence to another place after they had already settled there? It's unbelievable, I feel so sorry for these people, and someone needs to step in and help them stay where they are currently comfortable. +I just read an article that the U.N. reports that ISIS has executed over 200 people near the Iraqi city of Mosul and is using thousands of people as human shields. The Iraqi forces are advancing against them and as a result, ISIS carried out mass killings, punishing people who had defied its orders. They are even forcing women to wear gloves to completely cover themselves, and accusing anyone who has even a cell phone of being a spy. It seems they are growing increasingly desperate and determined to take the lives and freedom of everyone in their path without regard to civility or even basic humanity. This scourge must be stopped, it is so heartbreaking to read about these victims! +The article also good.but some times also said medical teams were examining the bodies and trying to determine their identities. “The investigation is just beginning,” he said. The Iraqi Joint Command issued a brief statement condemning the Islamic State. “Gangs of ISIS militants continue to commit crimes against our people,” the military said. Fighters from the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, have held the city of Mosul and surrounding towns and villages for more than two years. +You know how you were having trouble sleeping? Here, read about people who have tinnitus - it'll put you to sleep. I feel like more should be done to help the seven percent who say their tinnitus is a big problem for them, though. That's the same as any other psychiatric complaint, right? If it's affecting your life so that you can't function normally, there should be some kind of help for you +Did you hear what is happening in Aleppo? Residents are being texted (apparently from their government) to evacuate their homes in preparation of the city being bombed! It’s just terrible what those people have to endure. I feel so bad for them. Their country is already so war torn, and they are almost out of food. 2 pounds of meat costs $40. I can’t even begin to imagine what these people are going through. If it we here, happening to our families, I would be so scared. +I was reading where Chicago, Illinois has an incredible problem with lead in their public drinking fountains. This problem is all over in public buildings, parks and even in homes where lead pipes are still in existence. This is a problem that can have both immediate and long-range problems for adults and children in the city. Children growing up drinking this polluted water can have many health problems including learning disabilities, behavioral problems and a variety of diseases. The homeless are also prone to having problems because they rely on public drinking fountains every day. +There was this little boy found dead down a well somewhere in China. He fell down there well helping his father harvest, I guess on a farm they own. What kind of weird is that they weren't able to get him out till four days later; not really sure why they couldn't get him out sooner...could have saved his life. Maybe they just didn't have enough resources...sad...very sad... +I think it's well known what the CIA has been doing through it's torture programs of suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. Dr. Rosecrans a leading psychiatrist for the Navy was immersed in treating these patients. She worked there for almost fifteen years and had difficulty helping out these traumatized victims after their incarceration. +Looks like a lot of muslim hate crimes are going on, especially in new york city. A lady had her clothes set on fire right in public. People yelling "get out of America" at them, etc. I can understand people's animosity towards them as their religious people essentially declared war on us, but not everyone is that extreme. +Tensing was later fired. Tensing, 26, testified he feared he was going to be killed. Prosecutors said repeatedly the evidence contradicted Tensing’s story. Judge Megan Shanahan said Saturday that the jury of 10 whites and two blacks spent more two hours deliberating Saturday morning after getting a night’s sleep and still could not reach a decision. “It’s obvious to me you have made a sincere and conscientious effort,” the judge said before setting a new hearing date for Nov. 28 to determine whether the case will re-tried. County prosecutor Joe Deters said he’ll decide within the next two weeks whether to try the case again. Attorney Al Gerhardstein, who represents the DuBose family, said they want another trial and can’t understand why the jury couldn’t reach a conclusion. “With the video +Can you believe this article? The more I read this article the more disgusted I got with what had been done to this kitten. This is a awful story that deserves to be heard by more people to make sure that the the kitten receives justice, and that the person who did this is not allowed to hurt any more animals. I think it is a great thing that this person is not allowing for someone to get away with this and making sure that others will stand with him and not allow this crime to go unpunished. I think it would be great if you could share this story and let others know so something like this can be stopped in the future. +I think the wraparound glasses are a great idea. I don't care how ridiculous they look. If I had to choose whether or not my kid was worried about fashion or protecting his eyes, eye protection would win every time. Ugh, can you imagine the possibility of losing your eyesight, or possibly even the whole eye, just because you didn't want to look silly? Nope, wraparound glasses all the way! +This is no surprise. As with every year before it for the past couple decades, this was the hottest year on record. I do not know how so many people can take irrefutable scientific evidence like this and still not only question, but outright deny that global warming is happening. It makes me angry that we are killing this planet and there are so many people that are simply too stupid too admit it is happening and fix it. +I think it is important to ensure safe drivers on our roads, for our family’s sake. I believe that the rate of accidents on American roads is far higher than acceptable. I believe there should be more restrictive driving requirements and testing, as well as harsher punishments for drivers who do not respect the riles of the road. +If he is not responsible for the killings, it would be baffling as to why he would attack the officers. If it turns out that he was responsible for these killings, it is good that he can no longer harm anyone else. It must be a nerve-wracking job to be a police officer, knowing that at any moment someone could attack you for no good reason. +Wow - what a lucky cop!! I can't believe he was able to stop that guy. The community is much better off without him. As fascinating as I find true crime, I really don't understand the impulse of some people to kill. It's crazy. I can't believe the damage that guy caused. Luckily, he was stopped!! +I think issues like basic income, universal healthcare, and right to assisted dying are way more important. My interest in being fit or healthy is the reduction of painful symptoms. When I eat sugar, carbs, and enriched flour foods, my legs hurt, my back hurts, my stomach digestion goes very bad, and I get heartburn. For me, it's not so much about being fat or not, it's about reducing pain. +I personally don't agree with science making these kinds of decisions. Maybe, just maybe, a higher power didn't want these people to reproduce? How do we know that these methods don't permanently change something in the DNA that helps guarantee that a serial killer is born four of five generations down the line. How do we know? There have been no studies. I would guess by this article that since boys that are born using this method also have low sperm counts, that something, or someone, somewhere, is trying to tell them something. +It's shocking how little people care about this and how little Africa gets mentioned in the news. This is horrific when you think about the number of victims and the people who are harmed. I wish people could focus on this. It's ridiculous that people are getting away with this and it is a huge crisis on the level of other genocides in history. +I just can't imagine forcing a child any child let alone your child into such sick sexual acts. I'm a firm believer of every family is different but something like this is appalling in my opinion. And there should never be any grounds of acceptance for such behavior. I commend the victim of these acts, that she was strong and spoke up against her parents. I can't imagine how she felt or how she coped going through such an ordeal. I'm happy that she was able to tell her story and maybe so no one else has to go through it. +This is horrible. Too have a disaster like this happen is sad. Other nations should do what we can in order to help. You never know when we may need the help for other countries. We know as a country how hard it is to loss everything to a natural disaster. All the lives lost it is best practice to help out. +I'm not sure how to feel about animals that are considered as abused when being used for entertainment purposes. It gives us the opportunity to learn and see them up close but at the same time its hard to handle the fact that these animals might be feeling pain. I mean imagine being captive by monkeys your whole life so they can introduce them to humans. Would be sad. +I saw a story about Yemen today. Have you read about it. It looks like ethnic cleansing over there. It is so awful hearing about innocent people being killed just because of where they are from. It's like Nazi Germany in some parts of the world. It is very scary to me. Nobody is really doing anything but making proclamations. Rights groups can't seem to do anything either. I wish these evil people would stop doing this. +What a rare occurrence to have that mutation come up for both parents. I feel very bad for Nicholas and his family. Thankfully they are able to afford the treatments that Nicholas would need almost his entire life. I feel bad for the family who aren't able to afford such treatments for their own kids. +So, I just read an article that I have absolutely no interest in. It was a bunch of gossip about Val Kilmer's health, as if that is newsworthy. I'm not even sure why I read the whole thing. I gained nothing in the way of knowledge by reading this article. What a waste of time! People really should learn how to mind their own business. +You should read this article on climate change. It's incredibly fascinating. Climate change is happening and it's really scary. Humans are causing it. It will soon be a major problem for us all. It affects all life on earth, not just people. Biodiversity has been affected and has gone down. Temperatures are changing for the worse. It's simply awful. +This article says that, A deeper look inside Wells Fargo's shameful vault — People my kids' age, who track their money by smartphone, wonder why garish competing bank branches still stud every shopping district in Philadelphia and the suburbs. Now we know: Behind the lollipops and the barred cages where the tellers sit, perverse incentives at many banks turn branches into, not just stores, but sweatshops, pushing products customers don't need and may not have ordered, thanks to admissions by Wells Fargo Bank, the dominant lender around Philadelphia, and veteran bankers. Facing outrage, Wells Fargo has belatedly stalled tens of millions of dollars in stock awards to two top executives after admitting it fired 5,300 low-paid workers over five years for opening phony accounts. +this is all about politics it talks about the like of Janet Reno, first female US attorney general who dies at 78 — anet Reno, former US attorney general under President Bill Clinton, died Monday morning following a long battle with Parkinson's disease, her sister Maggy Hurchalla said. She was 78. Reno, the nation's first-ever female attorney general, served in the Clinton White House from 1993 to 2001 +This breaks my heart. I mean, I know there's trouble everywhere, but these people have absolutely no hope, and the United States caused this, so we share responsibility. I'm going to look around and see which refugee organizations are trying to help, and gather donation information. Are you in? I'll see if Alan wants to bring this up at church, too. +Take a look at this guy! What a flip flopper!! He seems to endorse whoever is popular at the time - Trump or Obama. I also hate his only tactic for arguing against his opponent, drawing on his personal life. Instead of highlighting his policies, he’s trying to win on popularity. I would never, ever vote for this guy! +I am at shock for what I have just read. First of all I would need a lot of time to reflect on what just transpired in the article I read. Please when you read this try not to get too sad about it because it will get you sad. Just try to find someone you love and hold onto them because we should not take for granted what we have. +I just read about a tragic 10 story building collapse in a town called Kisii. I'm distressed about this news because they're still searching for survivors. There's been a report that 9 are still missing. I hope they're able to find these unfortunate victims. It was horrifying reading about the accounts because people could be heard screaming and shouting for help. I'm hopeful that they can help find any remaining survivors. This is such an unfortunate event. The cause was due to bad building construction as the developers have cowardly gone into hiding. Experts said a recent drilling underneath the building triggered the collapse. This is horrible to hear. Could you imagine if this happened to the office building we worked out? Such awful and careless planning resulting in lost lives. +I think this world is full of hate and i don't understand it. Why do they hate us? Why are they killing innocent people?And Donald trump isn't going to make anything better. He shows people hate and we might have even more terrosist coming to America. America should show people how to love. America acts like the victim but we have fault as well. There is no country that is right or wrong we are all human and we are all imperfect. The only king we should listen to is God. A lot of these presidents and kings of our countries think there god. We should humble ourselves and just love. Put ourselves in other peoples shoes. +this is an incredibly one sided article. not sure how they are even allowed to publish stuff like this. It is amazing they had to reference black lives matter, and all of sudden this guy was an upstanding citizen. There is always a reason an office pulls the trigger. Sometimes, it is an accident, but more often that not, it is not. Hopefully they will publish the toxicology report. Won't hold my breath though. +Hey, Billie bob Thorton says Angelina Jolie was never good enough for him. He is older but she was younger, I guess he had no control over her at all. He stats that Angelina had a high stakes and fast lifestyle, even made him wear viles of blood around their necks. I guess her saw her as coo koo and a tad bit crazy or or something. Maybe he had to get away from her hectic lifestyle. +The wildlife park offers their help after over half a million supporters signed a petition made by the non-profit organization Animals Asia to demand the closure of the aquarium. If the current owners of the polar bear agree to this offer, Pizza could be moved to a proper sanctuary and his life of misery would end. “The good news now for Grandview is that they now have the chance to put their mistake right,” Dave Neale, Animal Welfare Director for Animals Asia, said in a statement. “Thanks to this incredible offer from Yorkshire Wildlife Park there can be a happy ending and the negative publicity they have suffered can yet be turned into a positive news story. From talking to them I know they know that mistakes have been made in terms of their animal facilities and on-going care.” China’s +Those poor people! I can't believe the government is seriously considering leveling 783 houses! And especially ones that have historical value! There are other ways to increase your air travel options and industry without doing damage to so many people's lives! I feel awful for those people and, if I were them, I'd fight back too! +It's one thing to kill another person with a motive. But who kills horses and animals?! They are completely innocent creatures. God we have used and abused these animals for centuries. I have no idea what kind of motive this killer has. These horses deserve so much more. It's almost worse than murder in my opinion. I really hope this guy gets caught. +Victim Amanda divulged her horrific experience, including her parents making her pose for explicit photographs and videotaping their sexual encounters with a view to sell them online.f I could take it all back I would. I hate myself for what I did," she added, along with claims that Amanda's father made her "join him" in abusing their daughter. She suggested it was all her then-husband's idea and that she had initially fought him for three months, but eventually "gave in". +I saw a horrible story about a turtle on line today. A man took a hammer and beat a large turtle to death . He broke the shell on it's back and crushed it's head with the hammer. I hope they give that vile excuse for a human being the maximum sentence. I love turtles. They are so unique and cool to watch. I have a creek in my back yard and I see them all the time and they do not bite. I can't stand animal abuse. It makes me sick. +I read an article today that was discussing the problems with Sudan in Africa. The article was kind of hard to follow, but it seems like there is a lot of political and peace keeping discourse there. I really feel terrible for all the innocent people that are caught up in silly power plays and government issues. People's lives are being ruined and destroyed every day. +So, I just read this article about a series of bombing in New York and New Jersey and how these acts are being viewed as an act of terrorism. Sometimes I still cannot believe that we lived through 9/11, especially because before that I had never even heard the word terrorism or knew what a terrorist attack was. And now, we live in a world where we are constantly hearing about possible terror attacks or terrorists regularly on the news. It just makes me absolutely sick that this is the world I am raising my kids in and that we have to live in fear of someone trying to kill us or setting up bombs to surprise attack people. The fact that we cannot live a carefree life anymore because of the sick minds of individuals scares me daily and makes me wish I could keep my kids in a bubble!!! +This is a big price for reality shows featuring filthy rich people who care more about being seen than being safe. I'm sorry, I can't feel too bad for Kardashian West for being robbed, with so much tempting loot around. It must have been frightening for her to be tied up, but if I were that rich, I certainly would not flaunt it. +How to deal with that burning question of what is murder before birth and what isn't? Is it murder because it was against your will? Maybe that is how it should be determined if you walk into an abortion clinic you're willingly killing the fetus versus someone shooting you and your fetus is now unwillingly dead because it wasn't your choice? +Wow, a teacher get pregnant after having sex numerous times with an 8th grader pleads guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child. This is unreal and aggravates me that teachers would do this and children would go along with it. The world needs to worry less about wants, quit being emotionally and physically weak and focus on needs, not wants. This whole story iis pathetic and all involved have ruined their own lives and for what, pleasure? They're all weak. +Bullying is such a serious issue. It has been going on for so long. It is so sad that these young people have to take their life because they think there is no end in sight. What we need to do along with providing therapy for those that are bullied is to increase the consequences for those who are bullying others. This may have happened in Europe but in America teachers know this bullying is going on and they tend to protect the football players and other jocks. It is really sad. I hope you have never been bullied. I was and it was terrible. +Obesity is an epidemic in today's society. Almost one in three people are obese. Sometimes I wonder how we got here. People these days take no responsibility for themselves and their actions. The cost of care has increased tremendously from the obesity epidemic in this country. According to the most current statistics, over fifteen million Americans can be classified as extremely obese. +Did you see all of that stuff going on over in Syria and how Donald Trump in working with the Russian president to missile strike the people over there? Man, they really have it pretty bad with all of the stuff going on. I feel really bad for the people who are living there that really don't want any part of what is going on. Could you imagine having dinner and a missile comes flying over your house? I am definitely glad I live where I live. +Kylie Jenner pretending like she cares about other people. She makes a transparent marketing move to promote her own product by making up reasons other companies products are bad. It's disingenuous faux concern and anyone who reads it should see through the crap. It is disgusting and she should just advertise like a decent human being would. +You know I have no sympathy for anyone who harms an animal. I'm a huge animal rights advocate and I think those who are cruel to animals deserve very strict punishment. The officer involved should be charged with a crime and fired from their job. I hate it when people hurt defenseless animals and this particular crime did not have to happen! When this happens with children being left in hot cars, there are serious charges leveled and so, there should be the same in this case! +I'm not sure what the gay community hoped to accomplish by holding a gay pride event in a country where homosexuality is illegal. It's not like people there ignore such a law, since someone was powerful enough to criminalize sexual preference in the first place. I think I would rather stay under the radar until I could find a more tolerant place to live. +Since many of you guys are at the age of having children, I thought this would be something that is important to share. There is a virus called CMV I just read about that is causing devastating consequences in newborns. These children are being born with brain problems, hearing problems, and learning problems because the mothers aren't being told how to prevent it. Make sure that you wash your hands after being around toddlers, especially if you're pregnant! +Hey Jax, I thought this was a interesting article that you might be interested in reading. It definitely piqued my interest. I thought it relates to your situation that you are dealing with at the moment. Let me know what you think of the video as well. I might show this to Jackie too and see if what she thinks of it. +Our country is really at a place right now where its going the wrong direction of what an ideal society should be and how a lot people are worried about the future as well. This has clearly been shown with the spike of suicide hotline and crisis calls. We need to create a more positive and acceptable society in order for every person to feel appreciated on a daily basis. As well as we should be taking care of the environment to minimize all these environmental effects such as massive disastrous like hurricanes cause by human abusing the environment. +This is a crazy story with so many facets to it, omg. I mean on one hand, I don't support an eye for an eye. I don't support the death penalty and I don't support blinding someone. BUT on the other hand, this is a country where women really struggle and the justice system is not well developed. ALSO, he blinded a FOUR YEAR OLD GIRL. What the fuck is wrong with this guy. So if this was in America I would not support it, but I don't feel right condemning the actions of an entirely different country for doing what they felt needed to be done. +Its crazy that really intense and sad situations are happening around the world but here in USA were worried more about who made it passed the first round of the Voice or whats the latest viral videos. The fact the extremists are using innocent civilians as human shields is so cowardly and shows they have no honor what so ever. +As frustrating as it might be for the overflow of goldfish thriving in wildlife, I am very curious to see a four-pound goldfish. Could you imagine? The pettiness inside me kind of smirks at the growing population of them. There is nothing to blame for the existing and gaining population of goldfish, except for ourselves. I mean their very existence is because people wanted more appealing fish for their gardens and maybe aquariums too. Then they were bred and still are bred for trinkets and given away as promotional items. So I feel we as people have no right to glare at the survival of the discarded lives that were no longer wanted. I say,'You go goldfish! Live your best lives!' +Cricket players in England are likely going to have trouble sleeping after a 4th day of the first Test. Being in their shoes, playing hard and working together is the key to beating Bangladesh and they need to stay on top of their game in order to win. While it's physically demanding, giving up or blaming lack of sleep is simply not an option for the team. +This is really sick and disturbing don't you think? These soccer hooligans got all rowdy and worked up and when they were acting out like idiots they hit an eleven-year-old child in the head with a bottle. Poor kid had a big gash and had to go to the hospital and everything. That's pretty sad and pathetic, even though they probably didn't really mean to do it. +How sad, if you get a chance read this and maybe share, it could be the difference for this person to find her family! Sometimes I see these announcements and I usually read and share them, I hope they find who she is and most importanly I hope they find her family and get her some help. I think the more people see, read and share this info, the bigger the chance to find her identity and family, imagine if it was someone you knew. +I am so tired of hearing about this stuff, it's so fake. Trump is just a fake conservative, the same way that all of the liberals are fake liberals. Trump is far from a KKK icon, he's actually a Jew and a huge supporter of Zionism/Israel- this should make him a huge enemy of the KKK but instead it's all fake, orchestrated BS to keep us totally distracted from what's really up. +Every time I hear something about ISIS, I can't help but think about the role the US played in its creation and the horrors that have come from the vacuum of power in the region. I'm thankful to be American when I read something like this, but also ashamed at the same time in who we've chosen to represent us, not just now, but over the past 30 years. +I just read this article about the NODAPL protest movement that had a ridiculous headline. It is like they want people to have a negative opinion about this issue, so they subtly frame it in a certain way. "Empty your bank account" to make a donation in support is a very negative way of putting things, almost like psychological priming. Anyway, I wonder how the pipeline protest movement is going to continue under Trump. +It's always a bad thing when the murder rate increases. The fact that it had the highest increase in decades is incredibly disturbing, although it's important to remember that the overall rate is still much lower than it has been in the past. People think that things are more dangerous than ever today, but the facts show that's not true. +It's hard to imagine the life of people who left everything they had – of course, many of them had already lost most of what they had – and started impossibly long and complicated journeys to secure a better life for themselves and their family. Imagine having nothing but the clothes on your back, not knowing where your next meal is going to come from, but still hoping for a chance to rebuild your life. It’s heart breaking. +hey i just wanted to let you know that this is a rough article. the guy took him out and then took his own life. its pretty sad. the guy knew the employees schedule too so he just could have done it whenever. why would he do it and take his own life though i dont understand. anyways wanted to let you know i did read it and its tragic. i feel bad for the family that it happened to them. hopefully this doesnt happen much more +I found this article and thought you might be interested in it. This is so sad and disgusting. Gun violence really must be stopped in this country and it's hurting innocent people and even unborn people around this country. I think there might be a die in we can participate in happening this week if you can come. +I just read an article about wild fires sending a smokey haze across the state near the Appalachian mountains. Can you imagine how big the fire must be to spread so far and wide? And the people in the area obviously suffer the most. What if you have asthma or some other condition that restricts your breathing? +So tragic and sad that this police officer was just doing his job and now he's gone and his family is left to grieve his loss. I hope they figure out who did this and serve justice to the fullest extent. It sounds like it could be one of the people they found dead, though. I guess we'll find out later. +hey whats going on Jacob? I want to tell vent out something I read in this article. There was a Saudi-led coalition that is backed by the US, they had led an attack in Yemen, that had killed around 43 people. This is sad to hear so much killing in this world. According to what I read this happened because they are trying to take someone out of power and they are trying to bring in a new leader, I think his name is Abed Rabbo Mansour. The USA wants to put him in there. Also they are more people dying from the long conflict, people are starving and also Planes had attacked a funeral place and they had killed people there as well. All this necessary killing is not good for this word. This is really, really bad that we need war to solve problems. +Here is another interesting story but this one is about squrriels and leprosy. In the UK they found that red squrriels are getting leprosy and that never happened before. The article also mentions that Armadillos get leprosy also which I didn't know. I always thought it was a disease that only affected humans and mostly in biblical times although I guess it is not an issue now just because we learned how to top it from spreading. +The whole situation with Iraq and the uprising of ISIS can be attributed to the U.S. War on Terror and failed attempts at establishing democracy in the Middle East. The truth of the matter is, the G.W. Bush administration had no idea what they were doing when they decided to invade Iraq under the pretense of ridding Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction: Iraq had none, and we destroyed the Iraqi way of life over this lie. Iraqis may have suffered under Saddam Hussein, but at the very least, the region was stable and extremists were rare. After the American invasion, civilian deaths likely skyrocketed because law and order were thrown out as well. +It saddens and scares me that people don't see terrorists for what they are: radicalized individuals who have gone rogue. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people who just want to live their lives and practice their faith. This country needs to be educated on other cultures so we stop fearing the unknown. Building more walls and dividers between different groups of people won't help anything. +I can't really believe he was found dead in ol' Strombolo's condo. He wasn't anywhere near old enough to die of natural causes so it should be at least a little surprising when we hear about what the cause of death was. I am intrigued to find out if we have another Hollywood murder on our hands. You just can't tell anymore these days. you never know who, you never know when. +There are a lot of older people in Russia who survived the Second World War who are now trying their best to survive. Many estimates say that there are a lot of people in Russia who survived only on $4.50 a day. With this little money they do not have the luxury of going out to eat. Also when living on so little money it is dangerous because of Health Care problems. If one has to have surgery or even get expensive medication it can be a real setback to their life style. I hope the Russian economy becomes better enough to support it's elderly and everyone else in the country. +What a freaking asshole! Guys are so creepy sometimes. and in our own home state. I wonder who he gave them to to release them out to the public. Anyway, please be careful with your photos and information. I've been seeing more and more accounts like this popping up, and I would hate to see any of our sensitive data at risk. stay safe out there. +That is just crazy that a person waiting on his surfboard was attacked by a shark. That must have been pretty scary. I am glad that he didn't lose a leg or anything, but still, that would have been very scary. All of the sudden, boom, you are hit by a shark. I don't think I would want to go to that place again to surf if I was a surfer. I think people need to be cautious when surfing. I don't think it is really our place to force sharks away, as they live in the water. I think people just need to be smart and surf where there is a very low chance of being attacked by a shark. +Hey did you check out the latest dram between Scottie Pippen and his wife Larsa? Maybe it is dumb but I care about these thing because I am from Chicago. I have been hearing the name Scottie Pippen on a regular basis for the last 25 years and it kind of makes you feel interested in that person's life. I know fi this was about Michael Jordan I would feel the same way. +Oh, but global warming isn't real, right? We have all kinds of time to fix the problem, right? It's not humans, it's natural variation, right? Holy crap are we ever ostriches as a species - are we going to dig our heads out of the sand in time? Change has to happen, and it has to happen now, we can't wait for all the old white men who run things to die +Though all people who flee conflict can be called refugees, refugee agencies commonly distinguish between refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) to decide who is covered by international law and receives assistance and who doesn't. For the most part, little assistance reaches a person fleeing a conflict until he or she crosses an international border. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), established in 1950, distinguishes refugees and IDPs this way: "When a fleeing civilian crosses an international frontier, he or she becomes a refugee and as such is eligible to receive international protection and help. If a person in similar circumstances is displaced within his or her home country and becomes an internally displaced person, then assistance and protection +I just thought you would want to know my opinion on this. We've never really talked much about it. I feel like refugees from Syria should be given a free shot here in America. We have been over there messing with their country. We have engaged in war, both indirectly and directly. We have been wavering in our responsibilities there. To Be able to simply sit back here on our haunches in America Judging people who are fleeing for their lives..definately partially because of our actions, is wrong. They should be welcomed here. They shouldn't be treated as terrorists. It is important that poor people who are suffering should be welcomed here. These are people who would be glad to be given a shot, they would work hard. They are family people, hard workers, many of them are talented a +Yeah so global warming is really messing with the polar bear and the glaciers, if the earth continues to melt and the glaciers continue to melt then we could be looking at the extension of the polar bear, the disappearance of our glacier and mass ma flooding. Luckily they eat a lot of people keeping a close eye the sea levels and working on how to slow the warming of our planet. +Reading this was infuriating to me. To see such casual disregard for life, both of the animals and those protecting them, in pursuit of money. And for what? Snake oil cures in Asia, superstitious nonsense, and rich people wanting to feel powerful. The security teams seem like they're in an impossible position, restrained by rules while their opponents have none. It's a miserable situation +I know a lot of people refuse to believe the facts about climate change and some really don't care because they don't see how the problem directly affects them, but all you coffee addicts out there are going to cry a little shallow tear when your favorite cup-of-Joe goes extinct. The increase of the planet's temperature is adversely affecting coffee growth in areas where the plants have always thrived. Funny (not really at all funny), but more people will worry about their brand of coffee going extinct than about animal and plant species being constantly wiped out for good. +Hi N. Just wanting to talk to somebody and you as always you are the right person to reach to. I just read an article on the Matthew and the destruction it left in Haiti. I was overwhelmed and I almost cannot believe how many people were affected and not just that but they were suffering from all kinds of unimaginable things. Hunger was the first to list, there was a lot a starvation, people were poring from all over when aid was coming to bring them food aid with trucks. Disease was everywhere, doctors coming from all over the world had to face with cholera and disease. Infrastructure was damaged, homes destroyed. It is really hard to express in words all the suffering the people had to deal with. I feel like there should be something we should do to help. +Human traffickers must be some of the most loathsome people on this planet. Some may think they are doing good things trying to get people to a better place, but these traffickers do not see people and are wanting to help them. They see them as money, they take advantage of them and take every single thing they can from them while promising them a better life. They do not care about the safety of people and are just trying to maximize their profits. The only reason they wouldn't just get rid of the migrants out at sea after taking all their belongings is it may be bad for business. +I have no idea what any of that means but I wonder sometimes what it would be like to play a game that goes on over more than one day. Imagine if you could go back home and go to sleep at halftime of the Super Bowl and then come back the next day and play the second half. Maybe then the Falcons would have taken the 2nd half of that game against the Patriots more seriously. When I watched Lebron crush the Raptors I was kind of curious as to how they slept knowing a game was coming up. They probably felt scared, like they had a big test coming up and they didn't think they were prepared. +“The vast majority of battleground states have Republicans overseeing their election systems,” Moore told POLITICO last week. “It’s safe to assume they’re not rigging the process either against Donald Trump or for anyone else.” Meanwhile, Trump’s downward spiral has forced House Republicans to scramble to secure their once-safe majority and the difficult balancing act between Trump’s die-hard supporters and moderate independents has begun to take its toll on vulnerable Senate candidates like New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte. She trailed by 8 points in a poll released on Thursday, after polls earlier this month showed a dead heat. For the party that put Trump forward, the race has become less of a suspenseful thriller and more, to use a favorite Trump term, of a “horror show.” +I always feel bad when women talk about their experiences with sexual assault because you know how I feel about that but I want to put it into words anyway. I feel like it's always on the women to be the ones to hold men accountable and to report it and everything but I'm so frustrated by the fact that men won't take a bigger stand. Men should hold each other accountable for sexual assault and encourage each other not to do it instead of making jokes about it all the time. I'm just so frustrated by how there are so many stories of women that are suffering needlessly at the hands of these arrogant men and yet women have to endure a lifetime of trauma from it and men usually get away with a slap on the wrist, it really just makes me so sick to my stomach, I hate it so much. +it is about time that for profit education has had the breaks put on them. provide a substandard education at the students and government's expense in unconsionable. they should have been shut down years earlier. there are so many cheaper and better alternatives to obtaining and education. i don't feel sorry for them +Did you see what is going on with all those refugees? They are trying to cross over by water and a lot of them are drowning and there are record numbers for deaths from shipwrecks. Those poor people just want to get away and lead a better life and they all keep dying or continue to suffer. I really wish we could do something for them so they could all live better lives. +The previous article says that- Countless Acts Of Hate Have Been Carried Out Since Trump’s Win — Day one of Donald Trump’s America came with countless acts of hate that were carried out by his supporters against several of the country’s most marginalized groups. Day two was no different, nor the days following. Since Election Day, there have been more than 200 acts of election-related intimidation and harassment across the U.S., according to a survey by the Southern Poverty Law Center. People from all types of communities ― black, Latino, Muslim, Jewish, Asian, queer people, women ― have been physically harmed, slandered with hate speech or been the targets of racist graffiti. While we shouldn’t have to live in fear for our safety, Trump supporters feel more emboldened than ever to express +This is just sick. It kills me that this lady is a parent. I am more confused that the step-father had no idea. I doubt after moving to multiple houses that you would not have noticed something was off. I mean you never went into these closets? The biggest issue here though is that this woman thought she would rid herself of a problem because of social services checking in on her. It is disgusting. I am surprised the other kids survived. They all must have lived in fear of this lady. Makes me so mad people kill kids. +I just read about the Haitians who came here after the earthquake. While I wish we could help everyone we just can't. Only so many resources in this country and unless we want to become another 3rd world country we have to send them home. Make them wait in line just like any other legal immigrant. Why should they be given special privileges to be in this country. I hate to be mean but if you aren't here legally then you have to go home. +Ugh! I am literally sick to my stomach about all of these attacks. It's utter nonsense about how many people have been killed and for what?! Stupid preferences on what a someone believes a society should consist of?! It is disgusting. My heart really goes out to all those families and the doctors! Those doctors are tirelessly working to heal as many people they can and even by a dim light since the conditions around them are being torn to shreds. The amount of bravery to try so hard and keep the number of people dying as low as possible is amazing, to say the least. I really feel sad for the familes that have lost so many loved ones and that have been displaced. +Sally Brampton: Journalist killed herself after 'missed opportunities' — Sally Brampton, founding editor of Elle magazine in the UK, killed herself after health professionals "missed opportunities" to offer her help, an inquest has heard. Ms Brampton, 60, who wrote a Daily Mail advice column, drowned after walking into the sea near her home on 10 May. Hastings Coroners' Court heard she was "in crisis" in March 2016 and had sought help from a psychiatrist and GP. +As I read this article, I felt disturbed knowing that a sexual abuser raped his daughter for many years and the man who murdered him is getting punished for finally ending the torture involved in the girl's life. Of course, murder was wrong, but what that girl's father did to her was by far more unacceptable in my opinion. +So i just read this article on gold fish in the wild. Wow. I learned a lot. Apparently we have an overload of gold fish in our lakes and rivers, which is very bad for the fish and the earth. It's bad for the earth because it messes with the sediments as they swim low on the bottom. It is also bad for the fish because they aren't bread for the big waters. their bodies grow as big as a football and they can weigh up to 4 pounds. Some are not even healthy. They say the best way to get rid of healthy fish is to bring it back to the pet store and to not flush sick or dead fish. put them in an ice slush. this article was really sad and disturbing to read at the same time. +The indonisian government is not doing enough to protect some forest land. The orangantans who number seven fifty to seventeen fifty will be completly wiped out if the company that is clearing this land is allowed to continue. What can we do to form a protest or let the government know that this is not right.Can you help me with some ideas? Maybe we email the indonesian government first or attempt to call them. After that maybe we can plan to picket or have a demonstration at the capitol building voicing our concerns. Do you feel the same about this that I do? if you dont I will get someone else to help me or I will go it alone. I just feel so strongly that something productive needs to be done and fast. If we drag our feet they will have this land cleared before we can blink an eye. +Hey, take a look at this. Lots of conflicting information here, but it'd be awesome if there's any truth in this story. I hate to see when animals are in horrible conditions like that, though of course PETA always goes way too far with their involvement. Maybe that's why I'm not sure what's true and what's not in this article? +We had a squirrel that entered our building and it’s in our activity room and it’s jumping on people and biting them and scratching them,” a woman told the dispatcher, according to audio from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. “So we need help.” During the call, people in the background cried for help. “I feel lightheaded,” one person said. “I don’t feel good.” “Okay, does anybody there need an ambulance to take them to the hospital?” the 911 dispatcher said. “I don’t know if we need to go in an ambulance but we need some care for people here,” the staff member told him. “It’s still in there and the people are bleeding.” “Is everybody out of the room?” the dispatcher said. The caller asked others: “Is anyone left in the activity room? Is the activity room empty?” “There is another person +I think it's a shame that they made the employees create fake accounts in order to drive up the sales. What a shame. Why are they blaming the employees when it was those in higher positions who were forced into doing what they did. If they wasn't forced then it never would've happened. I feel sorry for the worker, but I would've quit before they had me do something fraudulent. +The company behind ITT Technical Institute, the chain of for-profit schools in the United States, will shut down all of its campuses following financial sanctions from the U.S. Department of Education. ITT Educational Services said in a statement Tuesday it would shutter more than 130 locations in 39 states. The move affects hundreds of thousands of current students and more than 8,000 employees of the ITT Technical Institute, known colloquially as ITT Tech, the company said. “It is with profound regret that we must report that ITT Educational Services, Inc. will discontinue academic operations at all of its ITT Technical Institutes permanently after approximately 50 years of continuous service,” it said in a statement on its website. A day later, ITT announced it would not enroll any new +You see this? Mostly this just pisses me off. America takes ten thousand refugees. Woopee. People are dying, and they need somewhere safe, and all we do is take ten thousand. And let's face it America's hands aren't clean in the middle east, or Africa. America has learned nothing from past wars. We should be providing help to get people out and a safe place for them to stay, but instead we just let them die, getting bombed in their cities and drowned at sea. So I'm angry about this. What kind of society have we become when we let this happen? America should be doing so much more, to help these people. It's callous to think ten thousand is somehow being responsible, being moral. They're just trying to find a safe place, away from the constant threat of death everyday, for themselves and th +I can't believe that there has to be so much violence and bad in the world. The part of this article that really got to me was that the Muslim women were being raped and that doctors and nurses who wanted to help the people there were being treated rudely. It would be awful to have to live under these kinds of conditions. It would be awful to have the prices of food go up because of blockades and other reasons. It would be stressful and scary. +Dear friend , How are you ? I heard that you fell down the stairs and broke your leg !! Are you ok ? Hope you are getting better . But seriously, what really happened ? Your mum told me that you were running and fell but I want to hear directly from you . I am coming to the hospital to visit you in an hour . That's my final decision. No one can change it , and yes because you didn't come to school today you missed a lot of work . Don't be too happy , you'll have to complete the work later +We really don't think of air pollution all that much in most of the country, but it seems to be significant problem in certain larger areas. Apparently India is having a lot of issues with it, and it's making people sick. It's really sad when places put more emphasis on businesses than they do on the health of the people. +I read a very disturbing article about a recent study on depression resulting from birth control drugs. The study was performed by the University of Copenhagen and has confirmed a link between hormonal contraceptives and depression. The study was extensive and performed over a decade. The incident of depression was magnified over 28% when taking the combination pill, and even went as high as 78% in the teenage population! Alternatives to the pill which are longer-acting such as the ring and implant were even higher scoring in depression. One outstanding take-away for me in this article is the fact that women are only fertile about six days per month as opposed to men who are basically fertile every day, and yet the birth control burden falls on women. Hopefully men will share that soon. +I feel sad when reading this story, as she lost her companion and that's just what some animals are to people their companion, not just a dog or a pet, it's a part of them. This man was wrong for what he did although he was justified because it was seen as self defense he definitely could have done something else before fatally shooting the dog and killing it. Unless the dog was charging at him and starting to bite him or bark at him he should have seen no threat at that time and I feel like this was a careless mistake and he didn't need to do so. +I am deeply disturbed by what I have read in this article. It seems that a man committed a senseless act of murder by pouring flammable liquid on an innocent bus driver and setting him afire. There is never an acceptable excuse for such an act. I can only guess that racism is the motivation for the act as the victim was a member of the Indian community. +While I think many of us are troubled with the recent relations with Russia and suspicion of rigging our US election, in cahoots with POTUS Trump and hacking, we need to sort through the details and make sure we are using facts when they are available. Suspicions are sometimes unfounded, my heart goes out to the agent's family. +This whole story of all the thirty three miners found dead is an unfortunate tragedy. Their loss is really going to affect their family, friends, and co workers for the company that they work for to. These type of losses could have been avoided if they received more help or they could have trained them more for incase any unexpected events that could occur like this one for example. +France has been through a lot of crap lately. Some terrorists stormed a newspaper office and killed some people; their have been bombings at the airports and train stations; and a little girl was among 90 killed during a concert at one of their local venues. As sad as this all is, the most distressing thing is that the country has decided to activate additional measures to ensure their democracy is maintained. This always seems to be the case during a time of great terror and unrest- most of which are incited by officials working within the government itself. +i feel like we need to do somthing about this problem that is going on we dont need moms overdoseing on drugs plus doing it while they are driving. maybe there is a program we could start to help these mom in need and the kids that they have should be taken care by someone else while they are getting the help that they need to get better and then they can get there kids back when they are able to take care of them +It always upsets me when I read articles about land conflicts involving Native American tribes, especially when it involves oil pipelines. I fully support expanding domestic oil operations so as to better establish energy independence, but care should be taken to respect the needs of others when developing pipelines. It may be expensive to ensure environmental care is taken and, when necessary, to reroute the pipelines to avoid encroaching on sacred lands, but that doesn't mean it's not worth the expense. +hello brother I hope you are well these days and thought a lot about you and more when I see the news I find out that Saudi Arabia is struggling to expand its territory no matter what this pado should take care of being there is very dangerous so be careful I hope you take care of yourself and think of us +Hey bro you been hearing about that shooting in Charlotte, N.C? Isn't that pretty messed up that all these police shootings and racial black lives matter approach to life and living day to day? I ready that 16 cops were injured due to a protest/standoff. I guess they say the cop shot the black man and he was even unarmed. Why so theey have to shot someone when they don't even have a chance to defend themselves. It is very sad world we all live in these days. No one can get along but shooting and fighting you best believe they can do all that. +i lof this article it has a variety teaching about science that banana is the world's most popular fruit crop, with over 100 million metric tons produced annually in over 130 tropical and subtropical countries in like a 1950s they used to grow banana this causes disease gets harder to control over time all this is done by professor of plant pathology at the University of California, Davis +This is probably one of the most distressing articles I have read in my entire life, I really do not understand how this is even happening. Over and over again, we are showing to the black people in our country that we do not have the heart or the brains to care about them enough. It just makes me so mad! +What a terrible tragedy! Accidents like this hit families so hard... and losing both a father and son this way! The poor family must be just beside themselves. It seems too, if one looks at the circumstances, that they were close and enjoyed doing things together. How very sad. The rest of the family must be just shaken to the core. Hopefully they are a tight knit group with support systems. I hate to hear about anyone in accidents, but this sort of thing is just too sad. +California has problems similar to Flint Michigan when it comes to providing clean water to everyone. While California passed clean water acts to remedy this, it has had trouble providing for the poor in unincorporated areas such as Methany Tract (sp?). But California has recognized that having access to clean water is a right for all people. Currently they are working on having a nearby city help provide clean water to the Methany Tract citizens. It really makes one wonder about all the damage already done, the health problems, the children, and it makes one wonder how many other places and other states need to have this resolved. +I just read an article about two US Military personals being shot in Jordan. I have so many emotions running through me. I am sad about the loss of lives. I am in disbelief. How could this happen? The article said they do not believe it was a terrosit attack so that makes me feel relieved, but still worried. US is there to assist Jordan for training. Why our are people being attacked?! The article said they failed to stop at the entrance so I do not know if maybe it was a miscommunication. I am confused to what actually happened. From what I read there was an attack on Jordan when they just drove and barralled through their border so they are on high alert. My heart goes out to all of those involved and I am sad. But why on earth would they think that the US military personal are planning +I feel sorry for this person's family. His children now have no father. You just never know what makes people commit terrible acts of evil. Life can be taken in the blink of an eye. You need to make sure all your loved ones know how much you care, do as much good in the world as you can, because you never know when your last day on this earth is going to be. +did you hear about the wolf that got shot by a government sniper in Idaho I think it was. He was a special wolf from a pack in California that was endangered and had a tracking device on him so they could monitor his movements. he had already traveled 700 miles looking for a mate, which is what wolves do when they come of age. They are trying to hold them accountable for the needless and cruel slaughter of wild animals. I forgot the name of the group. But I hope they stop them. Animals need more laws that protect them from evil garbage people. +So I just read an article about climate change, and it is awful. It seems very few people are trying to stop it and it is maddening. We need to take more control over the things that are being put into the air that could be causing such an atrocious thing. We need to start reusing things and switching to organically grown things, if possible. The oceans and lakes are suffering and eventually, we will, too. +The article I just read discusses how the US is driving the extinction of Amazon rain forest by importing Amazon oil. This story made me feel very upset. The world's rain forests are play a major role in our existence. Without them, we would probably no longer exist. It makes me feel like there are people out there that just care about making a profit. These people need to open their eyes to the bigger picture. +Did you know that the spread of cholera is so terrible? I had no idea this was still such a daunting issue so many people face. I agree with a line in the article that said "The idea that people are still dying in 2015 of cholera is outrageous.” I feel so heartbroken that people are dying simply because they don't have clean water and appropriate medical care. +Hey, did you know that Turtles are especially endangered because of people using them for food, exploiting them by selling and trading them, and they are dying because of pollution and damage to rivers and Lakes.. their resources and dwindling. The real worry isn't so much the problem with Global warming..they can stand that somewhat..the problem is we are damaging the planet and fresh water so rapidly they can not withstand it. More than 60 percent of Turtles and their Shelled brothers are in danger.. they are vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered. We should do something to stop this. These creatures sometimes live longer than us. How is it that we are allowing them to be maimed, eaten, and polluting their habitat?? We have to do better. What do you say we volunteer tog +Thomas referred the case to the full court, and shortly before midnight, the justices issued an order granting Arthur’s stay request. The order included a statement from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. explaining that while he did not believe this case merited a review from the Supreme Court, he had decided to vote for a stay anyway as a courtesy to his colleagues. Roberts wrote that four of the other justices had voted in favor of staying the execution. While it takes five justices to overturn a lower court ruling, it takes only four to accept a case. “To afford them the opportunity to more fully consider the suitability of this case for review, including these circumstances, I vote to grant the stay as a courtesy,” he wrote. Justices Thomas and Samuel Alito would have rejected the requ +Hey you hear about the Coffee Killer? In Indonesia some chick who is also Australian has been found guilty of killing her friend by putting cyanide in her coffee. I did not get too many details about all of the evidence that they have against her but to me at least it does not seem like they have that much evidence. I guess she ordered her friend a coffee before her friend got there and right after she took a sip of the coffee she keeled over and died. Pretty crazy, right? I think she probably did it but their motive is weak and I do not think that she would have been found guilty if the trial was going on in the US. +I hate when these type of things happen. I mean, we trust these people with our information, private information, and somehow it just gets hacked? Someone obtained it and now is threathing to sell it to the public? This is unbearable right now. They should have a secure way to protect the information we provide +The article was about New Global Warming study.warns: desert in Southern Spain in the future — Climate scientists from France shared a study this week about the possible grim future awaiting the country of Spain, and the Earth as a whole. They warned that if climate change continues, deserts in the Middle East will expand to the Mediterranean and even reach Southern Spain, transforming today’s deciduous forests into barren lands hostile for plants and animals, and of course including humans. Last year, hundreds of countries around the globe have signed a non-binding agreement. Known as the Paris Agreement, its main goal is to stop global warning by implementing and keeping long-term solutions. The target is to keep temperature rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit +I don't necessarily agree with this stance, as I feel Trump can help our country move forth and improve economically. While Trump wasn't my ideal President, he was the much better choice over Clinton. So, in my opinion, he was the better candidate. I feel like Obama was a joke as a President, and what did he really do during his 8 years of Presidency that he will be remembered for? ObamaCare? That isn't a positive in my opinion. So, I can't say that I really think Moore and I are on the same page, and we have a difference of opinions. +Tourist who claimed she was raped in Dubai is charged with extramarital sex — A British tourist allegedly raped by two men in Dubai faces jail after cops accused her of sex outside marriage. The woman, 25, claims she was attacked by two U.K. men last month. But when she reported it, she was locked up and charged with “extramarital sex”. She is on bail but is not allowed to leave and needs $30,000 for legal fees. +I really don't fully understand what's happening in this article. I get that the players need sleep and that's about it. Do you know much about what they're trying to say here? I have such little knowledge of sports that I struggle understanding the lingo associated with the sport. I can understand sleep though! +It's very unfortunate for both the wildlife and the communities that survive off of the meat that the rare animals provide. It's also sad how the police officers ran away which was I guess the main point of the person telling the story. That is very corrupt and wrong, they should have stood up for the Rangers being targeted. I think it's best if the wildlife is preserved and the community that attacked the Rangers were clearly out of line. +I wonder if this problems exists in the U.S. as well as the UK? This is a consideration, since we both have garden ponds. Maybe we should learn more about how to keep our ponds more sanitary for the frogs! I have noticed alot of frogs in mine, so this is interesting readying, anyway. This is just another way that humans interfere with the natural environment, I guess. +I read this article about what black people think. It is crazy that they still believe they are being targeted by the police. Can you believe in this day and age they still believe that. The difference between why more black people get shot is more of them do crimes. Add to the fact that black families tell their kids not to trust the police. Don't run, Don't fight back and do what the police officer says and you have a lot great chance of not getting shot. I can't stand these black people who feel like they have it so bad here. Let them try living back in Africa and see how they like that. +This is just crazy, you have to feel for the mother, but at the same time what kind of apartment has that many violations and is still not punished. They need to sue them and anybody involved with this. I cant believe that in today's society that tragedies like this are tolerated. Somebody needs to go to jail for the death of this little girl and the injuries that her mother suffered. I cant imagine what the mother is going through and she probably blames herself. Things like this should just not happen. +Hey D, I read this article about this boy who was abused and went through stuff with his family. I feel like I can really relate to him, having a mother who had their own addictions. I always knew people like him always come out on top because he went through so much to get the success that he is having today. I wanted to show this to you so that you don't give up either, no matter how hard the circumstances are. Love, A. +My heart hurts for those affected. I will be praying for the soldiers attacked and their families. As we approach memorial day, we need to reflect on what we have learned in past wars and one thing is clear, mustard gas is not a weapon that should be used, I understand that many of the attacks going on right now include Guerrilla warfare but we cannot fight back in the same ways. +Hey, I thought this was an interesting article about males born through medical fertilization. Apparently, these men are also more likely to suffer from the same problems as their fathers did with being able to have babies. It's sort of sad to think about it. The author suggest using a sperm donor instead, but I couldn't imagine doing that if I was in this situation. +The situation in Syria is really shocking. I just read an article about how the regime in power together with Russia is bombing schools and relief caravans. They deny it and Russia and China vote against sanctions at the UN. It's hard to understand what could be behind this outrage. Fortunately, there is Human Rights Watch which has done extensive and careful documentation of the most recent school bombing, and there is some effort to get individual acts treated as war crimes through UN channels. +I was sad to hear that a woman was critically injured Sunday evening in a multiple car wreck in the Clinton area of Prince George’s County. It seems like these things are becoming more common. At least the reporting of such accidents is more common. People should pay more attention to their driving. I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone involved was distracted by cellphone use. +Leonard Cohen just died. Knew little about him but now see Ill have to look into his songs and writing. He was the epitome of the starving writer, it seems. His popularity continued to grow as he aged, and he was able to reap some rewards, but it didn't really catch up with his needs until recent years. He was a Buddhist monk, too. Had no idea. He clearly raised the bar in song writing. +It is really sad this country is still having major issues with prejudice and inequality. Being a minority myself, I feel for the Muslims and others who faced terrible treatment just because of their heritage. I hope you don't have to experience these terrible things as they have. I would be really careful who you talk to just to be on the safe side. It is an unpredictable world we live in today sadly. +Man veterans need more help. This article talks about how a lot of Americans have problems, especially vets, with sleeping. I can imagine that this sleeping problem can carry over into so many other areas of their lives like at work and their interpersonal relationships. Even thought they weren't able to establish a specific link their has to be a link between PTSD and problems with sleeping given the huge consequences of PTSD. +This is such a sad situation for both the people and the elephants affected by all the coal mining. The world really needs to move forward to try to replace using coal as a means of energy, and replace it with something that is less harmful to humans, animals and the environment. It's not fair, especially to the animals, since they don't really benefit from the coal mining. +Water parks and amusement parks in general are just disasters waiting to happen. We truly don't know how dangerous some of these things are until something goes wrong. Then we all see what was so obvious yet impossible to see until pointed out. I am going to avoid these places like the plague. Plus life is too short to wait in lines. +I just dont have many feeling about this article. I guess i feel bad for the teachers but it doesnt exactly bother me. I am not too concerned with affairs in other countries unless it is about war or peace and political things. Packing up and having to move your live away in just a few days is very hard and i guess i feel some sympathy about that. +I think they should find out precisely what she did to that child for 3 years and do the same thing to her for 3 years. Since she is stronger, she will survive, then they can bring her back to complete health, then do it again for the next 3 years, then keep repeating it until she dies. I can't comprehend why people like this do these things, but there is a special place in hell. I don't buy the mental illness garbage. OF COURSE she has a mental illness, but that shouldn't automatically imply protection from justice. The very nature of murder, especially of this kind, requires a mental illness to a certain degree, so no pleading insanity. Torture her as she tortured that poor boy. +Wow how sad is this news? I'm glad that people rallied together to help those people at least. This really reminds me of when I lived in Texas and everyone was having their homes and land ruined by wild fires that went out of control. People lost everything but luckily everyone really teamed up to help each other. +It seems pretty suspicious to me that a machine that was off could just turn itself back on. I'm sure somebody either accidentally turned it on or do it on purpose. That sounds like a really awful way to go though being crushed like that. They better come up with some better safety requirements to make sure that doesn't happen to anybody ever again. +Expert from an article I just read on the climate talks: "Mediterranean region would see changes never experienced during recorded history. Morocco could see increased temperatures and drought that would drive the southern deserts further north, displacing forests. Deserts would expand in the Middle East, pushing temperate forests higher into the mountains. Average temperatures in the region have already risen by 1.3°C since the late 19th century, well above the world average of 0.85°C, according to the study." And we are still arguing over coal as a fuel source so that the billionaires can make more billions. Read the rest, it's distrubing what will come to those who suffer through what has been created. +I saw some heartbreaking news and I could not believe it. Why would defenseless and innocent people be killed over something that they did not do or had no involvement with? I will never understand why some things in this world are the way that they are. There needs to be change but sadly I do not think we will see it soon. +This is another story of government overreach. Big government pushed by authoritarian leftists making a big deal over nonsense and holding back human progression in the name of hippy bullshit. If a species is endangered it deserves it's fate. More species have went extinct in the time before humans existed than in our entire existence. It's a non problem and just how the world works. +Climate change is extremely worrisome. And it is getting worse and worse every year. Something has to be done about it, and I think it starts with getting rid of corporate contributions to politicians and getting rid of lobbying. The world is dying and I think that needs to be clearly communicated to as many people as possible. Too many CEO's are thinking about their own profits. The system needs to limit their power and start focusing on the health of the species and the planet instead. +Hey guys check this article out. I was talking to about this sleep paralysis thing. It's such a scary event I do no wish upon anyone. I've experienced it in the past and is no fun. Some people hear voices, others see ghosts or the likes. I hope you guys never have to experience such a thing. It's good thing to know that it has a medical term and is not sometihng actually paranormal. +It's almost funny because I was looking at something really similar to this on Steve Wilkos, that a baby got hurt after pushing through a window screen and Steve was yelling at her and saying how she was so negligent and a bad mom but I honestly think that it's not the parents fault. Sometimes accidents just really so happen and kids are curious and they climb and then accidents happen. It's really upsetting for all of those involved and I really feel for the mom in this case because she just lost her kid and she probably blames herself enough as it is. She doesn't need society talking badly about her from behind closed doors. Accidents are just accidents and it can happen to anyone, although I think that everyone can agree that it's a really sad situation overall. +I just read another story about American soldiers deaths at the hands of terrorists. What upsets me the most about reading it is thinking about their families. I wonder if they had children that will have to grow up without them. I think about wives and their parents and how those peoples' lives have now changed forever. I think about how upset I would be if my son grew up to join the military. I would be a mess. +These pellet guns almost seem like they were meant to maim individuals, under the guise of a less-lethal round. The fact that the ammunition seems to have been modified to cause more damage, more permanent damage, seems to back that up. It's a travesty that such violence is being committed, such life changing violence. These people are not dying, they're being irreparibly harmed, altered, changed for the rest of their lives. More people should be talking about the use of such "non-lethal" weapons. Can't the local force exercise some restraint, some humanity? It's confusing, because I can't think of any reason other than harm someone would introduce maiming pellets as such as the case here. +Floyd Mayweather owes a jewelry store some money. It seems like it's the richest people in the world that always find some excuse either not to pay taxes or not to pay someone money that is owed. He has all that money, and he has to be sued to pay for something that he could have easily paid for in full upfront. People like him are ridiculous. There are so many people out here starving, and here he is sitting in his mansion not paying for something he bought. +IT's sad to hear about dead fish, but that's what happens sometimes. We can try to figure out what's going on and make a plan to stop, but nature is going to always come out ahead no matter what. nature always has its balance and you can't stop that from happening. If you do attempt, you're just going to cause more propblems than what it's worth and nature will still rule in the end. +Before reading this article I use to think that Flint was the only major water problem and I know that people have more on, but Flint is still having a water problem. I'm mad that California is the only state to pass laws for people to have rights to clean water. I know California has water issues with drought, but nobody should go with out clean water. Reading the article, reminds me that this is a world wide issue and we must figure a way to provide fresh and clean water to everyone. Especially those in need. +Hey, I just read this insane article about the situation in Aleppo. I didn't even realize how bad it was. People are dying and have no hope for the future. It really makes me appreciate everything I have in life and the article makes all my problems seem so trivial and insignificant by comparison. Anyway, you should check it out. +I just read an article about Kesha and how she was pressured into losing weight by not eating and "dumbing down" the content of her songs. It's pretty messed up that this is what goes on in the entertainment/music industry. At the same time though, she is an adult and she had the choice to go along with this or not. She cashed in and got a lot of fame. I can't say I really feel that sorry for her. If it was me I would have just said, "no" and moved on. She had the ability to speak up, but she didn't because she wanted fame. +We need to be more considerate of climate change, its effects are too dangerous to ignore. Because of this, it's easy to recognize the moral imperative we have to fulfill our obligations to society. We would be remiss to deny these exact warning signs, and we know that scientists have dedicated their entire lives towards the subject of climate change. We should heed their collective warning immediately. +i feel that racism is still alive today and it is a big problem people need to realize that color doesnt matter and that we are all humans with feeling and no one person is better than the other reguardless of the color of there skin. there should be stronger laws helping fight racism also teaching kids that its not ok to call people names just cause of there skin color. we need to work as a nation to fix this problem +A mayor and his bodyguards in the Philippines was shot and killed by local law enforcement. He was in to the illegal drug business. He was elected to take a stance against drugs. It's really weird to think that a mayor was the one taking part in the illegal drug trade. It makes me wonder who can you really trust. He was said to be a narco-politician. Sad to think the people can't even trust his own mayor. +How disgusting is Wells Fargo? It's unbelievable the way they treated their tellers, and all those fake accounts? Can you even? I don't understand how this bank doesn't get shut down. You really should think about getting an account with a different bank, you know. What if your SS got used to make some of those accounts? +I feel bad for the teachers but there are so many teachers in this country that I would like to see expelled. It is amazing how much power Turkey has. I do not really understand this power but it must be difficult to pack up your life so quickly. I can't imagine having to do that. How does anyone start fresh when they were expelled. You would always feel like it is going to happen again. +So what can we do when genocide occurs in different parts of the world? Does prayer help? Will war help or hurt more? When people do not get along, not because of a shortage of food or water, but rather because a belief system is not universal, that is a human tragedy. Saudi Arabia and Iran are prime examples of animalistic behavior at this point in time. We here in America pretty much killed off the American Indians because we wanted the land. Nothing different is happening in the Middle East. We always hear that might makes right but that's not truly the case. Might makes blight and generations suffer till most of it is forgotten. The moral is too learn from our mistakes and the bad aspects of what history tries to teach us . +I can't imagine what it must have been like for the people who were caught up in this, how helpless they must have felt. Not having any recourse for so long, no one doing anything to right the wrongs, just feeling like it's ok for you to be abused and for it to go on for so long and happen to so many people. Maybe they feel some kind of closure now though. +I have such tender feelings for all these poor women that are being raped. American women are freaking out left and right about such minor things when we have these poor women being raped and tortured for no reason at all other than who they affiliate with. This stuff is so ridiculous and it adds such a mysterious cloak to it because western journalists aren't really allowed in myanmar. It just seems other wordly that all this violence and just chaos is going on. Not really even that far away, sure it's the other side of the planet but these crimes and disrespect of human rights is happening one way or another. What would you do in the situation if you were one of the innocent people stuck in the middle of it? +I feel like there is so many people out there that are less fortunate then us, we need to take a second to see how people feel about themselves and the situations they are in and the people around them. I feel like the person writing this has gone through alot in his life and this all just adds into the fact of everything else +If people had to see how their food was killed, there's a good chance they wouldn't want to eat it. Between a live chicken and the package you buy at the grocery store lies a world of torture. The inhumane way some of our food, particularly chicken, makes it's way to our dinner plate is beyond disturbing. Factory farming is simply another word for animal torture. +it is frightening to learn about all these shark attacks but these surfers should be aware of the risks associated with the sport. relocating the sharks should be a priority and it would be in the best interest to establish a moratorium on water sports until the shark epidemic is dealt with. closing beach in australia is a good precautionary method +Hey, Zambia is protecting elephants on a massie refuge type area! They are fighting off poaching and that sort of stuff. Which is great! But I had no idea that the elephants are destroying a lot around the. They have even killed people! Sad huh? Also elephants will wipe out a farmers entire plants and food! That is really bad. They feel like their government care more about the animals than the people! I think they should provide some fencing. That is ridiculous to let people suffer all because they won't put up some barriers to block the elephants. +Seriously, timeshares?! I cannot believe it is even an issue for someone to get relinquish their timeshare. These companies seem to want to be your best friend to get you to buy a timeshare, but once you do they do not care about you, your family, or what situation your life is in. They make it hard to get rid of because most of their customers are older people who don't always want to go through the hassle. These people need assistance because the timeshare companies make it too hard to get rid of. Although they may say that they have an easy process to relinquish, but after undercover investigations, that proved to be wrong. If someone bought something like this for their family to enjoy but now their family is grown and gone, why should they have to continue with it? +I just read this article about trees dying across the country and I can't understand why more people aren't concerned about this. If we lose our trees we lose everything. It makes me crazy that people aren't paying attention and could care less about the snowball effect that is happening because of climate change. Because of us! +Did you hear the story about the orangutan named Diana? She was illegally captured with, I think, three others. These animals are becoming extinct. The good news is, though, that she was saved. When she was found she was blind and partially paralyzed, due to meningitis, I sure because she wasn't being taken care of. I don't understand how people can treat these beautiful animals so poorly. It really make me sad. +After reading this article, I had to write you and share it with you. You see, we aren't just crazy parents telling our children to slow down every chance we get. These young men were out doing something they absolutely loved and doing it with their closest friends, and now they don't have the opportunity to grow old and continue to enjoy many more things to come. They were so young and had their whole lives ahead of them. I can't imagine how their families are feeling right now. Hug your little ones a little tighter tonight. +well first of all whoever wrote this article doesn't know how to properly divide an article into paragraphs, which made reading this article extremely painful, but nonetheless I do know after reading the article that Zika virus tend to stay in semen and vaginal fluid for extended amount of time, so it's obvious don't mate with people who have zika virus, and don't even think about having a baby, they're going to be defective +After reading an article about the fraud happened years ago, I am now traumatized with easily trusting people. It is indeed a nightmare for all the victims to be involved in this kind of problem. It is a challenge to trust people again and invest your money on something. It is always good to know your rights before giving away the so called "trust". +Did you hear about this kid who lost his leg because a teacher body slammed him? Obviously I don't know what exactly happened but from the news report he was acting up and the teacher decided to use physical restraint. Supposedly in this county of Georgia teachers can use physical restraint on students if they are disobedient and a threat to students and others. I think its safe to say there was fault on all sides. The kid should of behaved himself, the teacher shouldn't probably shouldn't of been as excessive and the school should of handle the whole situation better. What do you think? +Whos mother would wish their child dead over being blind. That has to be one of the worst things I have read in quite some time. I have a very hard time digesting that the mother could overcome her daughter's death over her blindness, she clearly has some things that she needs to work out because while being blind is not ideal the girl can and will overcome her injury. It is truly unfortunate that they live n a place where the need to "own" land comes at the cost of this girls eyesight. It seems to me it was in an effort to reduce killing that these pellets were used and a horrible accident that injured her. +This was a terrible tragedy gone wrong, and honestly I don't really know if there was something that could be done about this before the event even happened? How did this man get into the airport with a gun? Was it because he did not pass through security before shooting this man or because he chose not to? I don't think something like this should have happens and being an airport i definitely don't think this should have happened at all assuming all the security that they do have in place how was this to happen? +well well well, look at what we have well, the arrogant Kim Kardashian finally got what she deserves: being robbed for millions, the thought of it is bitter, considering it's a robbery after all, but think the other way, a rich superfluous gal as Kim, broadcasting her belongings on social media, I guess she brought this upon herself +France Dismantles 'The Jungle' in Calais — A small camp in Calais, France, housing nearly 8,000 migrants hoping to cross into England, is being evacuated and torn down in what French authorities are calling a “humanitarian” operation. The migrants, fleeing their homes in Africa and the Middle East, are being relocated from the camp known as “the Jungle” to centers across France. Some have decided they do not want to leave, and protests have resulted in fires burning through tents, trailers, shacks, and makeshift shops in the camp. The dismantlement operation is expected to last for a week. +It hurts to know that those children may have lost their parents in their ordeal and that they may be put into the "system" where they're passed around multiple families before they find a loving home. I wonder if they have relatives that might be willing to take them in. I wish the article had been more informative and told a more comprehensive story about what happened and why the children were spared when three adults were killed. Perhaps there was a spat between the adults involved and the children ended up witnessing a traumatic incident. Either way, no good comes out of this entire situation. +we have to become aware of climate change. This problem belongs to everyone and if we ignore this problem, it will become irreversible. We will not have anything to inherit from our children. Let us support campaigns for the conservation of the environment and the use of renewable energy. The politicians only watch over the interests of the companies and not of the individuals. +It a tragedy when the people who are their to protect and serve us are gun down for no reason. My heart goes out to both families in this situation. It totally is unfair to die for no reason because of a selfish and ill man. It is really upsetting that this man just decides to kill police officers that are on duty to protect us from danger. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading a very upsetting and tragic article. It told the story of a young teenage girl in India named Insha Mushtaq. She lost her vision and 14 years old because she was shot repeatedly with pellets. She has been in and out of hospitals for months trying to regain her vision, but so far it has not been successful. She is trying to stay positive now but she knows that she has a difficult road ahead of her. I hope that she regains her sight. +This crash is so sad to hear about. It involves such undeserving people, and it does not sound like it was even the bus driver's fault. These people were just trying to get to where they need to be, and then something terrible happened. It is very sad and could happen to anyone at anytime. YOu never know what might go wrong in this world. +This seems like a conspiracy reach, but the medical exams were either lying or the bodies were really never examined. The Poles have a reason to distrust Russia- Russia does itself no favors, no country in the World should trust them-, they have a long history of conflict. The reason we had Polish jokes in America a few decades ago started with Russian racism towards Poles. +I had no earthly idea that Michael Douglas had battled oral cancer. I found out in an article talking about a remark he apparently made regarding Val Kilmer, who ostensibly also may or may not be battling oral cancer. Setting aside the absurdity of the media relaying a he said-she said moment with no relevance to the greater world beyond the individuals to whom it applies, it is terrifying to think how prevalent cancer is. +Can you believe what this family has done to these girls? They have treated these children so heinously. It is insane that the police wouldn't do anything until they were basically forced by the media. I can appreciate things that happened later to help these girls but this so unfair. This breaks my heart. +I just read an article about Wells Fargo in particular, but really it's probably happening at many banks. I know you've seen the people when you're out in public who are trying to get you to open a new account and you know they're just doing it to make some sort of commission. Well, come to find out Wells Fargo just discovered 80,000 phony accounts that must have been opened to fulfill branch quotas. Aren't these the institutions we'e supposed to trust with our money! I understand they don't think it's a big deal because out of millions it was only 80,000, but I find it extremely concerning that the higher ups down know what's really happening in day to day operations. It took 5 years to discover this. What else could be happening that we don't know about?! +Did you hear about the 3 year old that climbed into the gorilla enclosure and was dragged around by the gorilla. The zookeepers had to shoot the gorilla. Apparently, there were no problems with the barrier. I'd like to know how the little boy got in there. Based on what I read, I don't really take issue with the zoo or the gorilla. The barrier was at the right standard, and the gorilla did what a gorilla is going to do if something like that happens. I place the blame on the parents who somehow let their 3 year old child climb into a gorilla enclosure. Were they not paying attention? +Knowing how you love animals, I thought you would like to read about the Four Paws removal of the surviving animals in a Gaza Strip zoo. First of all, the zoo was horrid. Less than 20 animals remained of the hundreds that had been previously housed here. The rescue of the animals occurred under rather harrowing conditions with Hamas and Israeli forces launching missles during the evacuation process. It sounds as though the surviving animals will end up in different locations that deal with their specific species. They will be rehabilitated and may eventually be released back into the wild. Let me know what you think. +Here's one more great reason to never allow Sharia law into the US in any way, shape, or form. This is commonplace in the Arab world, where women are treated essentially as slaves or worse, while men can do anything they want and get away with it. What a terrible sense of "justice" or "law". This poor women would've, at best, been scarred for the rest of her life just on the grounds of being raped by multiple men. I can only imagine how traumatic this is for her when she's thrown in jail after being the victim of a horrible crime! Disgusting! +I can't even begin to put myself in the shoes of someone who has to deal with preparing to die half a dozen times, and then once again, it's halted, because people above him argue over semantics. Yes, he did do something wrong, and deserves what he is given, but bureaucracy goes a little too far in how much they can control a persons feelings and life. +There are many orphaned children around the world. International displacement is a huge problem that seems to be causing a lot of separated families. These children are having to go to orphanages, shelters, and other temporary placement in order to seek refuge. These children range in age from young to teenagers. +I had heard about the huge fires burning in the Indonesia area and the haze clouds they are producing but I didn't realize it was so bad. Apparently there is a statistical study that says 100,000 people have been killed by this. The researchers tried to count "early deaths" and got that figure. I suspect the root problem is corruption. Some of the business owners in Indonesia and Malaysia are extremely rich and can act with impunity, even though their actions cause great harm to the environment and to humans near and far. Maybe they should be charged with crimes for the deaths. On the other hand I dislike the idea of people being convicted of crimes via statistical analysis. It is too easy to manipulate. +Hello friend, I was distressed reading the article about the bankruptcy of American Apparel. However, it is clear that there were so many problems with the company, including the CEO, that the company has been doomed for a while. It's a shame the company was so poorly mismanaged. Maybe if they had a different CEO, they would have been able to survive. +I'd like to say that a comedy of errors has taken place. It seems our friend Gil got himself into trouble without doing anything wrong. His identity was stolen and then later he was mistakenly identified as the wrong person. Society needs to do a better job of providing enough resources for the "accused" to ensure that the perpetrator doesn't get a free ride while the accused seems to lose everything. We do live in a society where supposedly you are innocent till proven guilty, right? How can one lose a drivers license and a job without 100% proof on the table? Technology should be brought to bear to ensure that everyone is held harmless till all the facts are in. Is this achievable in our time? I believe yes if the right companies and government assets are brought in early enough. +It will never end, we will made to feel guilty about anything we enjoy. Not to mention that the "scientists" have regularly been shown to be fudging the climate change numbers. They don't want you to know that but want you to feel bad for having a cheeseburger. I don't like the cutting down of rain forests and believe that needs to end, but I think there are other answers. Getting rid of a great food supply is not one of them. Eating meat keeps us healthy and strong and may be the reason our brains grew to the size they did. Many politicians would want our brains to start getting smaller and more compliant. Getting rid of meat is not the answer and if we didn't waste time we could think of better solutions. +This whole article is a little sketchy, it seems like they're hiding stuff. This article, if you want to be really cynical and skeptical, makes it sound like the kids might be responsible for the deaths of the parents. It seems like a pretty vague article, I wish we had more information on this incident. +I don't think that it is fair to compare President Trump to Nazi Germany or the holocaust. I am not a fan of President Trump by any means, but I also have not once thought about comparing him to such a horrific part of the history of this world. Jews should not be worried that there will be another holocaust or that they will have to go back into concentration camps. I don't think the country would ever let that happen again, and I don't think that Donald Trump would go down that road either. He has a tendency to act like a child, but that would be a far stretch, even for him. +Just one week after Michael Bublé and wife Luisana Lopilato announced that their 3-year-old son, Noah, has cancer, Bublé’s friend and mentor David Foster gave an update on how the singer is coping.I think Michael, right now, is in a huge bubble, as you would expect when this happens. Everything shuts down around you,” the composer told Entertainment Tonight Canada later adding that Bublé will not sing again until his child is well.I’m certain of it he saidMany fans have reached out to the singer through social media, and Foster said that a few have contacted him wishing to extend their well-wishes and resources to Bublé. Though the diagnosis is heartbreaking, Bublé is “in good shape. +Hey, I wonder if this crash is related to terrorism. I bet it was. Seems like big accidents nowadays has something to do with terrorism. You got any family from Delaware? I don't. There is one thing I know, that I don't want to die in a vehicle accident. That has to be terrible. I guess if it's instant death then it's okay. I just don't want to suffer for a long time. I hope the people taken to the hospital are okay. +Wildfires in the western area of North Carolina, in the Appalachian mountains, can get so large they can be seen from space. In fact, some of the wildfires in neighboring southern states can produce enough smoke to cover areas of South Carolina. Despite not actually having a fire there, the smoke can get so thick that it takes heavy rain to make it dissipate. +Why would anyone, let alone a group of 10-15 teenagers feel the need to attack an innocent person? Chase them down and hurt them and than steal their wallet? What in the world are these parents doing? My mother would have killed me herself if she ever found out I was treating anyone that way. As far as any by standers that were possible in the area, I truly hope that they came forward and these individuals were arrested and detained. They are obviously a dangerous group of kids, who know right from wrong, but for some reason, they don't think the law applies to them. +What I learned about this situation was that sometimes life is not fair. Seeing this boy trapped in a place for 4 days is terrible. His poor body tried to survive and grab on for dear life but children are not exempt from this life. To think about that kid in that positiion makes me sad. His family is the one that suffers unfortunately. +Renewable energy is something that is very important. I am extremely loyal to the idea of renewable energy and need to develop a capacity to sustain my energy use. I am often the one to turn lights out unplug things, and etc. when I leave a room. I hate to have high energy costs when there is also a great amount of natural sunlight to be used. If you have a huge bay window in your bedroom for example just use that to read or do whatever activity you would like to do. +he government of Kenya this week revealed that it has accepted the request of the office of the UNHCR Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, to extend the deadline for the completion of repatriation of Somali refugees and eventual closure of the world's largest refugee complex, by six months.i will speak my friend +It's really unfortunate that North Korea doesn't seem able to help their citizens during a natural disaster. Hopefully some other country is willing to step up and offer assistance, although I don't know how that works since they don't really let people in. It must be pretty devastating if they are resorting to asking for outside help. +When will this world learn that rape is wrong, regardless of the context? Too many women are treated as an object, then punished by the system afterward. Some would say it is because of the religious beliefs in the area but America is no better. In our own backyard women can be raped and forced into carrying the baby to term as the father has "rights." Something needs to be done, and the British government needs to step in a help his woman. +The extinct of Rhino species had hope for survival species. There will always be Hope, for this iconic rhino will live on in everyone’s hearts and in STS’s mission of Creating Hope from Hurt. no one not stop the fight to save your species from extinction and will unite to end poaching and the illegal Rhino Horn & Ivory Trade worldwide +I read an article about this man who contracted a flesh-eating bacteria and almost died from it, unfortunately it didn't tell me where or how he contracted the flesh eating bacteria. I'm not sure I would know in time that I had a flesh eating bacteria, scary right!?! Have you ever known anyone or heard of anyone Contracting a flesh eating bacteria? +This story makes me sick to my stomach. I hate reading things about where my food comes from. It's bad enough to know that i am eating an animal but to know it suffered makes it worse. While the story is about the the suffering of an animal at the end of it's life it seems to ignore the suffering that the chicken goes through 99.9% of the time it is alive. This kind of story makes me want to go vegan. +I find it really amusing how Zika has been around since 1947 and not much fuss was made about it until it began killing people stateside. As usual, Black bodies are not valued or the conditions surrounding them until the same things begins to plague white people. Zika was minimized and downplayed for over sixty years. That says alot. +This is a very interesting article that focuses on this woman jet pilot, she was one of a kind. her heroic acts were recognized by those who knew her. the author portrays her as a hero and someone who should be remembered. once you finish reading this article you'll understand lots of things you did not before +This is what happens when you take in people from an archaic civilization. All of these refugees need to be throw back into their mud pit. Their religion embraces hatred. Let them figure out how to live in peace in their own countries, then we can allow them into civilized world. Is it is now, I think all of Europe is doomed. +It's so sad to see that world hunger is still such a large issue in other countries, especially when it seems like so much of our food goes to waste. Children passing out in the streets simply because they have no food to eat is heartbreaking. No one should have to suffer simply because they can't afford food. There needs to be another option. +You know I love animals, of all kinds, so let me tell you about. This poor creature was found half dead, mangled beyond belief because of poachers. Hope's story really brings to light the horrible and illegal trade of rhino poaching. I don't know if you know, but some people value rhino horns more than the beautiful creatures they come from. I don't believe the initial attack on Hope was responsible for her death, but it brought this beautiful creature into the spotlight, and I'm very glad for hearing of her story and saddened by her passing. +Erving Goffman, a sociologist and writer, compared how actors withheld their emotions to the everyday individual. Like actors, individuals can control how the emotions are expressed, but they cannot control their inner emotions or feelings. Inner feelings can only be suppressed in order to achieve the expression one wants people to see on the outside. Goffman explains that emotions and emotional experience are an ongoing thing that an individual is consciously and actively working through. Individuals want to conform to society with their inner and outer feelings. +The situation in Yemen with the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthi rebels is one with a lot of controversy, and for good reason. This conflict is rife with airstrikes and drone strikes that drop on civilians and militants alike. Qatar is culpable in the slaughter of citizens, which puts them firmly against the Geneva Conventions. Of course, I do not celebrate the loss of their soldiers' lives, as their families back home are just regular citizens as well in all likelihood. +It really is too bad that this had to happen. The internet will never let them forget. I'm sure the zookeepers feel awful about what has transpired. After all, They are probably all great lovers of animals and you and I know that it is never easy to see a poor animal die. I wonder if there were things to be done that could have prevented this or if I am just thinking with insight. +Did you hear about the airstrikes in Yementi? I can't believe it. i would have been petrified! Forty three people were killed, but could be up to sixty.. The bodies were just laying everywhere.and they were covering them with blankets. This is just one count of those that died. Since the battle has been going on they say over 10,000 people have died from this conflict, many just innocent civilians. I can't imagine being in that situation. +Hello, I feel very bad about Yu's death, she was so young and already a very accomplished person. I do believe she was very aware that her flying career had inherent risks that could ultimately cause her death. It angers and saddens me that people would undermine her role a female fighter pilot by making rude remarks stating there are other more accomplished women flyers. +Hey friend. Did you hear about this weird terrifying story of some british banker who wanted seemed to want to copy the American psycho movie? He murdered two women and if not for them panicking, they would have been tortured. He was a sick depraved individual. I don't know how people like this live in our society. They are all hidden under the surface. +It's good that they didn't have to hurt the emu. Every time I hear about one of these animal escapes I get the feeling that someone is going to end up killing the animal; I expect either an officer with legal authority or some stupid maniac with a gun who wants to kill something exotic is going to end up shooting it. I thought I saw a wild bird like run across the road one morning when I was driving to work. It wasn't big enough to be an emu but it was similar. I was worried that someone was going to kill it, whatever it was. +Have I conveyed my misanthropy fully yet. Read this for a laugh. This is what journalists are doing. We have an orange monkey destroying our nation and people spend time writing about something as meaningless as this. A guy died. Terribly sorry. Happens thousands and thousands times a day. Because this guy was an idiot it gets written up to feed the idiotic interests of the sheep. +Here is an article I just read about an accident at an amusement park in Australia. I've never heard of Dreamworld, have you? But the ride sounds like the old Shoot the Rapids we used to ride on at Cedar Point. In this case, the boat tipped over and people got trapped in the conveyor belt. I can't even imagine what the last moment of those people's lives must have been like. As for the kids who saw it all happen-- there are no words! At least none of the children died in the accident. But now they have lost a parent. One of those kids was just a baby. Now she will never know her mother. I never thought about rides failing when we were kids and used to go to amusement parks, but now I would probably not ride on any of that stuff. +I really think racism is getting out of hand lately. I don't understand why people have to commit hate crimes against people that they aren't similar to. Everyone deserves to live a happy life without being assaulted or worried that they'll be assaulted. And chalking it up to religion is even worse. People don't have to be so easily offended these days, but they are, and they're hate filled while they're offended too. +People are up in arms over Trump not believing in climate change. Withdrawing from the Paris treaty supposedly will contribute to global warming, along with doing away with the clean air act Obama passed while in office. There's so much involved with climate change its hard to tell what is fact. States are taking measures into their own hands to the extent they can I guess. +I don't know who Leon Russell is, but maybe you do? Apparently he passed away in his sleep. I haven't heard of the guy, but he sounded like quite the musician. Anyways, he passed away at 74 years old, which is a long life. The article I read stated he had some health issues, unfortunately. Poor guy. I hope he passed peacefully. +You know I love playing devil's advocate and having random views on things. Well here's another one of my crazy ideas so prepare yourself. I think that the Mayor of Sacramento is blessed that's all that happened to him. Yes he may be upset and a little shaken, but he still gets to go home to his family and enjoy his wealth. He doesn't lose his job and he isn't majorly damaged. I would easily take a pie in the face if afterwards I was a rich white man who still had supporters behind me. +It is a sad world when lives are threatened daily. let's remember when we here in America were fighting each other during the civil war. war is hell whether you are on the "right" side or the "wrong" side. Both sides invariably lose something. Does it make sense to have war? Is it a human condition that we will never be able to contain? I know these are open ended questions but are we like the herds of animals that migrate and take over others' territories when food and water are needed. I believe we can be better by accepting our differences and finding common ground for the welfare of all. +If you hear a ringing in your occasionally, don't be too alarmed. If you hear it persistently for quite some time, I would be slightly worried and definitely more alarmed. This could mean that you eventually lose your hearing. Tinnitus is a common thing to experience and usually is nothing. But sometimes this can be an early sign that you could lose your hearing. I strongly encourage people to go and get this checked if they experience frequently and definitely educate yourself on it. +People who take advantage of and endanger animals are the worst criminals in existence. Animals are defenseless and unable to do anything other than be confined and taken advantage of. This article shows the unfortunate process after animals are confiscated and taken away from these dangerous people, but there is no global consensus on the proper sequence and handling of these animals. +It sounds like someone didn't do their job at all in dealing with this housing complex. It sounds like a horrible situation but not a surprising one in a lot of these countries that lack housing laws and standards and accountability. I really hope they are able to rescue anyone still alive but trapped. On a weird note, what was with the blurb about the chicken? That was random. +I canot believe that there are citizens in this county, particularly in Minnesota, who are vulnerable enough to be manipulated by ISIS to kill individuals in their country. The Somali group in Minnesota has a history (several known cases) of people attempting to commit murder for the terrorist group. Tragically, an Somali man has just gone on a murder spree. He has not been linked to ISIS and his motivations are unclear, but I am disturbed. +I'm glad Germany is trying to help a lot of refugees when other countries (ahem the US) are trying to get out of helping people. However if they're going to have that reputation they need to be prepared to deal with the number of individuals who will try to come. It feels like so many of the problems these refugees are running from have been created at some point due to US/European colonization and intervention, so I'm glad they're at least trying. +I felt extremely bad and horrible for the child that fell down like that. I also felt very sad and disturbed when they found him dead about four days later. The poor child should have been taken care of more and looked after so that nothing would have happened to him then. I think that this whole thing is such a horrible tragedy and that it also could have been prevented as well. +Wow, it is scary to think there are mice that are twice their normal size hunting down and killing birds! It must be one scary place there right now with all that carnage. I hope Keith can make his plan come alive and stop the invasion of the mice. My concern is if they start getting off the island and migrating to other places. I live far away in America, but I sure don't want to run across these giant bird-eating mice. No thanks! +The upsurge in violent deaths is a troubling and terrifying prospect to face, based on the FBI's statistics. It's not a good measure of a society's health to see such dangerous statistics. We need to be doing everything we can to help mitigate this crisis. As for the collision of buses inside the Lincoln Terminal? That was another terrible tragedy which could've been avoided had the proper course of action been taken. +Wow...what a strange turn of events in this story. This guy who just randomly opened fire on a police officer turns out to be responsible for a number of homicides in Alaska. It's crazy to think that if the officers never confronted him for something unrelated, that there could have been countless more killings. +Environmentalism at its core is a racket. The leaders will use whatever methods to tie nature together to guilt you into accepting higher and higher taxes towards cost of living while majority of this money goes towards these non-profit organizations that help them push thier agenda. These environmental groups are only capable of gutting thier own people and will not address the larger oil buyers such as China or any other third world nation that is burning coal. By raising the cost of oil isn't going to stop Saudi Arabia or Russia from pumping oil, its all a racket to control the power supply and tax the people. +Hi, I just read an article about a sue concerning an apartment, and it got me thinking. Why do people never do research before signing any papers? It really is not that big of a deal or a difficult thing to do, this should be something basic to do, you know? It just troubles me how far things can go just because people do not really read! +This article is very, very, eye-opening and interesting to read about the the seven biggest threats that President Trump poses to the environment. I think with President Trump backing out of the Paris Agreement and not really focusing a little bit of more efforts on global warming, there can be a big problem in the future. +The Japanese that made up the restriction stating that you could not apply makeup while on the train are completely out of line. It is not up to them to dictate whether a man or woman can use their commute time to apply makeup. There needs to be mass protests, but we know there will not be as it is not in their nature. +I'm sorry to hear what happened to the people in the pulse shooting. It is not justified to use violence against anyone who has not initiated violence towards you. That being said I understand why the authorities would want to ban people who practice risky lifestyles from donating blood. The last thing we want is to have a blood supply that's contaminated with diseases because of the practices of people who engage in risky lifestyle choices and also sinful ones as well. No violence should never be the answer to people no matter what their lifestyle, But one should never condone something that is bad for society in the long run. +So I just read this article about rappers and music artists having a disagreement. It was pretty stupid too, I don't get why adults are fighting like high school children. It was all over some petty comments made, which apparently turned to racist slurs and got someone thrown out fo a building. Of course, everything is he said she said so I can't tell who was really wrong in this situation. However, again another situation that shows the stupidity of the human race. +This kind of thing happens in North Korea all the time. The country has so little usable farmland, that any weather disruption is a major problem. This is what happened during the Arduous March in the 90s, after Kim Il Sung died. The country had a couple bad years because of drought and then flooding, and suddenly everyone was starving. +KKK is filled with losers. Not sure why they get any attention. Actually, I know exactly why they get attention. It makes Trump look bad. Since that is the goal of the media, they will not pass this chance up. KKK has been irrelevant for decades. This is still the case. Media can make them look relevant, but they are not. +This article is so sad the hatred and anger we have towards one another in America needs to stop. Our children and grandchildren are going to grow up in a horrid place simply because we have people in our country who refuse to let go of the past. The past is in the past so let it stay in the past for crying out loud. +Here's an article about Standing Rock that I thought you would like to read. I think it's a few years old because it says the protests have been going on for five months, and I started following the Standing Rock case A LOT longer than five months ago. Barack Obama was still president then. I am very disappointed in the way he handled it and of course I have zero hope that Trump will do right by Native Americans at Standing Rock or anywhere else. We've had our own pipeline leaks here in Michigan, so the Lakota and Sioux who live in that area are right to be concerned. Even more so, it's their land and they have a right to tell the oil companies NO WAY. +This took place close to where I live so I can honestly say that it alarms me. Its a brutal world where this can happen and its always sad. I noticed the police and courts could have been more involved in preventing this but thats just how many of the violent stories I've been hearing have gone recently. +Well, there was another shooting. This one was in Washington. There is no real motive at this time, but they don't think it was terrorism. Maybe a broken heart? Anyways, it's getting ridiculous how many people are affected with these mass shootings. Just because someone has a grudge or a mental problem. +The article says that-Shannen Doherty Shares Her Cancer Story With Chelsea Handler In Emotional, Tear-Filled Interview — Shannen Doherty recalled what it’s like to be diagnosed with cancer in an emotional new interview with Chelsea Handler. During the sit-down, set to air on Handler’s Netflix show, Chelsea, the actress holds back tears while revealing what she’s learned through her health crisis. “I think what’s beautiful and hard and interesting about cancer is that it tears you down and builds you, and tears you down and builds you,” the Beverly Hills, 90210alum says in the clip. “It remakes you so many different times. The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different. I realize, +After reading this article I realized that our country is getting lazier and lazier. It doesn't surprise me when most Millenials out there feel entitled to everything. People don't think for themselves anymore or work hard for what they want. Not that people lack the intelligence but that they don't use it. They go to college, which is hard work, but then they expect a job to be handed to them. The real world isn't after high school, its after college. +There was this crazy story in the news the other day. Two guys were shot in Pennsylvania. One was shot twice in the stomach and the other was shot in the back. There were no arrests or anything and there was not stated motive. I wonder if it was a random thing or if they were involved with drugs or something? I guess we'll never know... +That's really strange that people would make such a big deal about her being single and running for office. That seems really petty, I wish people would focus all their attention on the real issues when it comes to politics. It seemed like the rules for Moldova didn't consider that a single person might run, I think they should update it. +If this was a hate crime that really sucks. If this was just a bar brawl that ended very badly ... still sucks. I don't understand why the police are being so secretive about things. And this guy's family is clear on the other side of the world probably feeling helpless. The other minorities in the area deserve to know if they need to be worried. Please, cops, release some info. +Another story that I am sending about Janet Reno. Thought she lived a good and long life, I always felt sorry for her and always wondered why she accepted the tough job of Attorney General. I felt sorry since she was often attacked for not only political reasons but her appearance also. She was unattractive and somewhat manly looking and the media used that against her. Made fun of her. This article mentions an encounter with Eleanor Roosevelt and her looks remind me of Janet. So maybe that is why she took the post. Wanted to be like her hero. +Did you hear about the Taliban attack on the German consulate in Afghanistan? If not, they set off a bomb at the gates and then an attack ensued. About 130 people were injured with 6 or so dead. Will that war ever end? An ancient saying says that "all empires end in that area" going back to Alexander the great. The country has never known peace and it's not looking any better. I feel sorry for all the injured, especially the children. I'm not sure the UN is making things any better either... +I'm the last one to want to victim blame anyone. I think as a celebrity you have to be a bit more conscious of your actions. Do I think Kim by posting the pics made someone want to rob her? No, but I think it's probably best to be more modest about what you post. I mean, just for safeties sake. I agree, I'd be scared to post about Tristan's ring too especially since it wasn't so long ago that Kim was robbed. Yes, I'm sure everything is insured, but it's still a scary experience and I'd do everything I could to avoid it. +This poor family lost the father just a short time ago! Now she is sick and suffering. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers in the next few days as they treat her. I hope her family is able to be there with her during this hard time, and that they are able to help her in her recovery. +Just another case of police brutality, not surprising at all This is a massive problem in our country, usually its the black population on the receiving end of it, but it does effect other people as well. When is this going to stop? Seems like it never is going to end, its been going on since the beginning of law enforcement, and will continue. Its shameful +I read an article about the hidden ads in online media and how it may be affecting children. It was about how kids see ads for junk food when they go online. They also spend a lot of time online, especially on YouTube. The videos on there are more influential, since they are real people, and the ads are more convincing. The article made me not want to let the kids watch YouTube or go online, which is really hard to do. I hate that the advertising industry seems to control all of our online media. +It seems that climate change is still a big threat to animals and wildlife, but not necessarily in the ways we would first think of. Climate change can affect the habitats of wild animals and cause them to die from things like lack of water, which is still a big deal. It's not the temperature change necessarily but what happens to things like the habitat. +I don't understand why we continue to fight this battle. People in our military are getting killed.It is not a good sign that anything positive is happening over there. I hate reading about military deaths. It is so sad that people have to go out there and fight. It seems unfair to me that their families at home get to get the phone calls that their love ones have died regardless of the circumstances. We need to do a better job at fighting batters we actually need to fight, vs fighting the battles of others. +Hey, here's another article that I'm sending to you for no good reason, since neither of us are interested in this kind of thing. It looks like more people died for shitty reasons, but maybe some are still alive. And, if there's anything that people love, it's the idea that things can be ok and / or get better. People fucking love this stuff. But, I did think that the bit about a HEN being rescued was out of place. haha. So, what do you think? +That would be a scary situation to live in. It is sad that the people feel like the government cares more about the elephants and animals than the people. These people must learn how to live with the elephants, but it seems like it is a scary thing to do. I would hate to try and live in that situation with children. I also think that anyone who is going to visit there should be made aware of the dangers of the elephants so that they don't get injured or killed like the 29 year old woman did in the article. +I feel very sad for the family of people who have lost their loved ones, especially family members that were so very deeply involved with the community and have touched so many hearts of the people around them as well. I am sure that for a long time, memories and special moments will be told with heart felt warmth for many generations. +I will never empathize or understand racists. Vandalism is the epitome of childish crimes as well. It's the twenty-first century and we still are surrounded by stupid racists. I say stupid because ignorance is simply not having a lack of intelligence or something, but you're still willing to educate yourself or be educated on it. Stupidity is being surrounded by so many outlets, professors, libraries, internet, magazines, and still refusing to learn about those that are different from you. +Hey just wanted to share this article with you and let you know some thoughts/feelings about it. I know that we have talked before about the importance of vaccinations, and if it is safe for kids to get them. I think this story really made me think about that and brought fourth some really interesting facts and data that make you see how it is changing and hurting different parts of the world. I feel that kids should receive these vaccinations as they are a easy way to help and protect people all over the world rather than taking a risk. +I think these people ahve been fighting each other over tribalism and ideology since I can remember. Im talking about Iraq, which is dividing into 3 main groups who have competed for limited resources for a long time. And the wealth of oil taken by the leaders and not shared with prosperity for all people has increased tensions. When I was young it was Iraq Iran War, the Saddam Hussein reign of terror, then the First Gulf War, the the Second Iraq War, then ISIS. THese people have something wrong with them and I think they bear some responsibility for their own suffering. +Read this article, this happened in Georgia where I live so I saw massive amounts of news coverage related to this case. I personally believe that the guy is guilty, there are too many things that he did and said that did not add up.It seems that he wanted to get rid of his kid and leave his wife and live his free lifestyle. I do not see any possible way that he did not know that the kid was in the car. That poor kid! +Those of you who smoke should quit. Once we quit, we're often surprised at the changes in attitude we experience regarding smoking, and life in general. When we quit and win our freedom from addiction, our mindset changes. After I quit I came to realize how much I really don't like it! I think I care more about myself now: My health, I stand up for myself when appropriate, I feel like there are more possibilities out there now without my smoking monkey on my back. +I think there is enough information about the health hazards of smoking for it to be understood why it should be outlawed in most public places. It is something that should be done in the privacy of people's homes, right? It makes sense to me. As for the rest of the information here about food safety, I don't trust most any public food establishment. I've seen too many nasty kitchens and bathrooms to trust a place to be clean when it counts! +Its inspiration and these people are still finding hard to donate blood to the victims despite the archaic rules regarding blood donations. The odds of HIV infection are so low that these blood donation laws need to be rolled back, like in Argentina. In the short term though, a way to help would be organizing a blood drive so those victims will get all the blood they need. +are you looking for an informative, creative and interesting article to read? Just for fun or educational purposes? then this the article for you. this article is really interesting. the author explains things in away that anyone can understand them. the author's use of language is genius and very interesting +It is horrible that things like this are still happening in the gulf of mexico and espesically since it is a priest. The cartels are doing horrible things that need to be controlled. It seems like the Mexican government can not do anything about it. Maybe there are some members in the government creating the problem +i and my friend always remain together. he has done a lot of help for me. he has been very hard for some time to help me with money. but he did not expect me anything.he is one of my family. he has great affection for me.he and i have come together in the school season.from that day he and i were not separated. +Just read an article about the situation in Haiti a month after the hurricane. Relief is being distributed better than after the last hurricane since the capital city was less affected and learnings from the previous situation were used to make some improvements. But getting food and water purification tablets distributed, and fairly, is a big problem. People are crazed with hunger and become violent, or give in to despair. Cholera is revving up. These are the immediate problems, but shelter, long-term rebuilding, voting in the upcoming election, and other issues lurk too. Somehow we have to figure out better relief efforts for natural disasters. +This guy got fucked. It sucks for him, but there’s nothing you can really do about these things, besides deal with it. There’s always going to be inefficiency and points of failure in any bureaucratic system right? Maybe the cops will get their shit together and sort it out for him, before he has to jump through all the bureaucratic hoops because of their initial mistake. +So today i read about Vaughn, an actor I didn't really know his name but have watched or heard most of the shows and movies he has been in. Today, i heard, he died at age 83 due to lukemia. IT is very sad to lose such a well respected actor. I guess his parents divorced at a young age but both gave him the genes to act. +This will embolden Trump supporters stance on immigration reform. I however do not believe just cause you are Muslim or an immigrant you are more prone to committing a terror attack. Attacks of terror and mass shooting are mostly causes by angry white men. When It's a white man hes a lone wolf and when your from a foreign country its terrorism. I am not making excuses for what happened. Surly its tragic but lets not pool a whole race of people into a negative basket because of one or two bad eggs. +It is really sad how many millions of people are led astray from the truth of the Bible. When people are exposed to hatred all their lives, it's very easy for them to become extremists. This suicide bomber in Pakistan is one of the sickest out there. People with no fear of death and who think they're actually going to be rewarded in the afterlife for killing innocent people? How stupid! +Wow, I feel really bad for the parishioners of the church that got burned down. At least nobody was injured. On the one hand, it's crazy that people would do this, but on the other hand, I'm not exactly surprised. Trump has been inciting racial hatred and tearing down standards of decent behaviour since before the beginning of his campaign. Let's hope he loses in November and we can file this away as a disgraceful moment in American history, nothing more. +Now this is a major issue: "Why Do Obese Patients Get Worse Care? Many Doctors Don’t See Past the Fat — You must lose weight, a doctor told Sarah Bramblette, advising a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet. But Ms. Bramblette had a basic question: How much do I weigh? The doctor’s scale went up to 350 pounds, and she was heavier than that. If she did not know the number, how would she know if the diet was working?" A populace that is so uneducated on health and nutrition that they don't know that it's mathematically impossible not to lose weight at over 350 pounds on a 1200 calorie a day diet. What's worse is a doctor who is so incompetent that he can't tell her that. If your clothes get bigger you are losing weight. +Aww man, I hate to see this. This kind of story makes me so sad for the families who are just waiting for their family members to come home. I worry about this kind of thing when my husband is making his 2 hour commute to and from work or when my sister and her husband take the train to NYC. You just never know. I feel so bad for those families right now. +I think the process of dying can contain various levels of trauma. Some people die with less pain, and we tend to call them lucky. I tend to think the body inflicts various levels of physical and psychological pain over the often somewhat lengthy process of dying. One type of emotion I can partly relate to is the idea that the party (life) keeps going on, but you have to leave. The idea of no longer consuming new information or experiences. The process of dying inflicts bad emotions on me, but thinking about being dead does not inflict many emotions on me. I feel neutral or calm about the idea, and I see no rational reason for worrying about it. +There have just been so many different tragedies involving the sinking of migrant boats that the people who live in Western countries have become immunized to the images. I just wonder how people so close by in European countries can have an anti-refugee position (though they call them migrants) when the evidence of tragedy is before them every year since the Syrian war heated up. I think it is really just crazy. +Ugh, I just read an article about our disgusting president and the way women are reacting to these rumors, allegations and truths made about this man and his inexcusable treatment of women in the past. And, that's just it, who is stupid enough to think his behavior is only in the past and is not still occurring today behind closed doors!? I am sure it is only a matter of time before that also comes out. The more and more I read about him, the more and more disturbed I am to have him as a president and wish I did not live in a country where that animal is calling the shots. The article was talking about women, especially Republican women, starting to pull away from their candidate and losing their warm and fuzzy feelings towards Trump. About time! +Poor people, I feel bad for the family they left behind and for their friends and family, my deepest condolences to their relatives. It was an accident and there was nothing that could be done to preven it, but I hope this serves as lesson to other to be more careful while engaging in that kind of activities. +This is just more violent nonsense from the outrageous middle east. Honestly, I dont care any longer. All these people clutching to one religion or another (often just as a mask for their rage) and killing each other out of tribal animus. It hasnt changed, well, ever. I dont expect it to change now. Its hopeless because people are just ignorant, solipsistic apes. I just cant care any longer about these idiots. Its horrible and tragic but it's all so preventable. +Even though fewer people are crossing this year than in 2015, more people are dying as they try to make the journey.Bodies of migrants in a boat off the coast of Libya in October. At least 29 people died in the incident, all in their 20s.One person out of every 88 has been lost at sea trying to reach the shores of Greece, Italy or Spain. That means they're 90 times more likely to die on the journey than an American is likely to die of gunshot wounds. +Aw, look, I didn't know Pete Burns died. I'm glad he was happy with all his surgeries and his life, even if I wasn't. He was so hot before he did all that, man. Gorgeous voice. Why are all the pretty ones so often the wrong kind of crazy? Now I have to go listen to that song, or it's going to be stuck in my head all day. +Here is an article that pretty much sums up what most people already know about Donald Trump and his campaign platform. This is highlights some of the main points, including his stances on immigration, abortion rights, gun rights, Comey, the Clintons, and a variety of other topics. It's a good refresher. +This is the kind of stuff that happens all over and is always underreported because the perpetrators of such sexual harassment and assaults are protected by their power in society and other powerful people. It was long just an unspoken or open secret that everyone basically knew, but it's good that it's finally coming to light with people willing to speak up, especially the victims. If they didn't speak up, people would go on thinking that this kind of stuff only happens in TV and movies. Art imitates life, and vice versa. +of the 5000 rhinoceroses that remain free in the world have just killed one more. poachers do not respect endangered species. This enrages me and I try to hunt them. the 18-year-old rhinoceros left her baby orphaned. I really hope that stronger measures will be taken for the protection of these species and that their extinction will be avoided. +There are a lot of things in this article that I don't agree with. I don't think that being gay is a mental problem, but I do believe that it is a sin. The only way for people to stop committing this sin is for God to work in their lives. I don't know a lot about conversion therapy, but i'm not so sure that this is the way to go. I also don't believe that trump is anti gay. He hasn't done anything that would make him anti gay. +Michael Moore did it again! The man might not be much to look at, but he continually nails liberals social values with an iron fist. This time it was him predicting Trump's victory in a film, but what next? He is serving as a light post for liberals, trying to wake them up that aspects of the Democratic party are out of tune with the greater American people, but will they listen? Trump won for many reasons, and while he encourages liberals to tell their conservative friends Hillary "won the popular vote," What good will that even do? The time for liberals to get better in-tune with the needs of the greater american conservative public has long since passed... +Salley Jessy Raphael was on the show "Where are they now" with Oprah, she claims she was betrayed by her producers. I remember watching her show in the 80's and 90's. It had become a show like Jerry Springer and she claims she wishes she had spoken up about the direction the show was going. She felt like her staff of 250 people thought she knew the show was going to be canceled in 2002 but she did not know anything about it. She was a strong personality and I think if she wanted to change the direction of the show she could have. Hindsight is twenty-twenty. +Arnold Palmer was really a great and ambitious guy, he really did a momunmental change onnhow today's televesion sports work, and the fact that he died was pretty sadddning to me. I think that the legacy he left behind is amazing, and he will continue to influence us even after his death. I would love to see Arnold Palmer's compnay thrive tremendously over the next couple of decades, and continue to transpire within the people he has influenced in his life. +I can sympathize with what these parents must be feeling. Not because I have raised a pre-teen, but because I can vividly remember that time in my life. Middle school is hard, ugly, and scary. I remember being bullied by girls that I idolized. I was fortunate to have a mother who was very caring and easy to talk to. She sympathized with me without making me feel like a small child who needed my parents to win my battles for me. She would say "That's awful, honey. Now, what are you going to do about it?" +The wildfire burned the field more than 13,300 acres. This is the 75% of agricultural land. The farmers was very sad about the wildfire. Their lands are damaged very highly due to the wildfire. The emergency fire safety team save the 25% of land from the wildfire. This could be very helpful to the farmers. Although, they loss the 75% agricultural land. Even they are did not plant any plants from the burned agricultural land. +Hi friend, I saw this article the other day, and I'm really upset by the behavior of the poachers. They had absolutely no reason to attack this guy. I would like to see the villagers fairly punished for their terrible behavior. Can you give me a hand and pass this along to everybody on your friends list? I know it isn't much, but I think that if we work really hard together, we might be able to get enough support to make sure that the poachers are punished. At any rate, we should at least try to raise the money to help this injured guy. +Hello, dear group. Let's trust in the laws of our country and in truly just judgments. Hopefully the murderer accused of five counts of murder will not be free and quiet in the streets of this country. I hope that justice can compensate a little to the relatives of the victim. After a 24-hour chase the police found the criminal and even though the victims have not been recognized, they will soon discover who they are. +I never knew that bananas were at risk of becoming extinct. Apparently we need to cultivate more varieties, so we do not face another crisis like Cavendish and Big Mike bananas that have succumbed to a fungal disease and almost got wiped out. We are so used to seeing bananas as a common fruit at supermarkets that we never think of not ever eating another one again! I found this article very intriguing, there is so much work that goes into figuring out how to protect this yellow fruit from fungal illnesses and make it more resistant to various dangerous fungal strains.Apparently this presents a great challenge for the scientists but they are hoping to cultivate more banana plant varieties that will be more resistant to various illness. +Wow.. di you see this? Delicia Taylor is suing the makers of this product.. Soft Sheen Carson Optimum Amly Legend No Mix, No Lye Relaxer. She has bald spots, Burns, blisters and pain from using this. Do you know anyone who uses this? If you do have them check out this link. The law suit is for 5 million dollars.. maybe they can get some money.. I think it's terrible that this product was allowed to be sold. It is awful when someone thinks something would make them look nice but instead ends up damaging them for life. Be sure to check the article out.. I think there are some pictures out there too. Brace yourself before you look at them. +Did you hear about the shipwreck in Egypt? Unfortunately it looks like fifty five people have died. It's such a sad story. I feel so bad for the families and that has to be a odd feeling for the 150 or so that survived. So many people swam to save their lives. I would never be able to do that! There were also children on the boat, so that is incredibly sad. I hate that people died and had no chance of survival. +I think it's unfortunate that people are targetting children to join their terrorist communities. It's sad because all these kids have a future but they get wrapped up in this brainwashing stuff. And then people are perfectly fine pinning it on an entire community and that's not fair becuase it really had nothing to do with the community itself and was more of an individuals decision +The Flint, Michigan water crisis is out of control. It seems like there isn't much being done to help them get cleaner water. We need to do everything we can to help them. Children are being hospitalized because of the cities incompetence. No one should have to go without clean water, and because we live in the United States, it's especially true. +You know one thing late Thursday that the Islamic State used a rocket containing mustard gas against U.S. troops in Iraq. The general was addressing leaked news reports that investigators had found a black oily substance on a rocket that landed near the perimeter of the base. Dunford told the committee that investigators had assessed the liquid and found “it to be a sulfur-mustard blister agent.” The news is concerning because this is the first time a chemical weapon has been used against U.S. officials said the Islamic State was using to produce mustard agent and other chemicals for military use. No soldiers were injured in the attack, nor have any shown symptoms of exposure to mustard gas, a weapon banned by the 1925 Geneva protocol after the horrors of World War I. +I don't know about Bayh. I kind of wish he hadn't run again; I'm glad he's not trying again this time. After reading this story, it's hard to feel sympathetic, even in retrospect. But the story confuses me, too. Didn't Bayh used to work for Fox News after he quit the Senate? The story doesn't even mention that. And it talks about how he was working for the banks but also embraced Obama's position on banks, which seem like mutually exclusive things. He didn't do anything great in the Senate, but when he was governor, he saved that lady's daughter's college career. It's all very confusing, but overall, I'm glad he's staying gone. +I don't really like coconuts, I think everyone knows that, but I still think that they play a huge role in our ecosystem. I don't know a lot about coconuts or what role they play in the environment, but they're really important for a lot of economies where they are grown. I think that the article brings up a good point by saying that major companies that sell coconut water should be the ones trying to look for a solution because they are being oversourced due to high demand for their products, so I think that they have a lot of responsibility to try to be the ones to fix this dilemma and solve this coconut crisis. It just makes me worried about the environment overall because I really worry about global warming and I just really worry about the environment in general. +Megyn Kelly during an interview, repeatedly shaking his finger at her and accusing her of being “fascinated with sex” because she brought up allegations of sexual assault against Trump. In a scolding tone, Gingrich tried to tell Kelly which words she could or could not use. Gingrich once had a fascination of his own with Bill Clinton’s sex life, as he was a driving force behind the movement to impeach Clinton following a consensual sexual relationship he had with a young former intern. Clinton became the second president in American history to be impeached by the House, but he was acquitted by the Senate. Voters, meanwhile, punished the Republicans for what they saw as an overreach: The GOP lost five House seats in the 1998 midterm elections, which led to Gingrich’s resignation as speaker. +This sort of story is showing up far too much in the news anymore. It shows a deepening divide of racial tensions in America, which is something I thought we had finally put behind us. That being said, I mean that the racial tension is coming from BOTH sides, not just one side or the other. BOTH sides need to be held accountable for their actions and the divide they are creating in this country. +Sadly this has become common in our society. Blacks are killed by police, and nothing seems to make a difference or matter. I can guarantee that if it was a black cop killing a while person, the outcomes would be entirely different. I dont blame the black community for their anger and dissapointment. I'm angry and dissapointed I cant imagine how they must feel. +I'm saddened to hear the news about his passing. In my experience I believe that comedians get into the field due to an aspect of the desire to help people and give them a few laughs. Don't think I recall his comedy acts but reading through the tributes I get the sense that people liked him alright and that he was a good guy. His tagline is great - "that's not right." As if he internalized a solid sense of right and wrong. So I didn't know his work but I think I like him. +An endangered species of polar bears have seen an increase in the number of them killed by visitors, or hunters. Look at how the people are apparently organizing against the threat to these wonderful, and endangered creatures. I'm not sure if they can turn the tide, there are a lot of bad people out there who hunt for sport, but they can surely slow it down, and that's a good thing. I hope their efforts are strong enough that this wonderful species can be preserved, intact, in their natural habitat. +Lockets with blood? Dang, that is kind of creepy and weird guys, but oh well, they were in love. People do crazy things when they are in love. Now, the fact that this guy never felt enough indicates auto esteem issues, she is not God, dude. I still can not believe Brangelina is over, they were end game to me, but oh well, guess you can not force things. +I just read an article about numerous female athletes that of taking the world by storm. I love hearing about female athletes, however it was frustrating to read an article with so many typos, miss spellings, errors and words that didn’t make sense put together. The article was clearly not proof read before being published where I read it. For such an important topic, proofreading would have been easy. +I think that this is a kind of funny story. I enjoy hearing about escaped animals from the zoo for some reason. If you think about it the zoo is just one big animal jail. I am sure that I would resent the fact of being locked up if I was a wild animal. Some of these animals have never known the difference. +A little animal called the vaquita is an endangered species. Efforts are being made to save the species but many conservation groups do not think these efforts will be successful. They call it "quick fix" intervention. Usually, when efforts are made to conserve a species, the efforts are unsuccessful. Apparently these animals are small porpoises which get trapped in nets. +It is just so messed up that there are so many places in the world without easy access to clean water. The answer is never to privatize or "modernize" the water system of a place, as that is really just an excuse to implement political policies. It is just bizarre that our modern water systems in urban areas are so woefully lacking. Even desert areas of India get enough rainfall each year that a simple catchment system would solve all of a community's problems. +This is a bizarre story. A man bashed a turtles head with a hammer in self defense. He is being held on 5000 bail. The only part of the story I find interesting is that the man dragged the turtle into the middle of the road and left it there. I'm not sure I believe the man. Claiming self defense against a turtle seems crazy. I think the man could of just left the turtle alone and not of been in this situation to begin with. +I think what the father did was a noble gesture. Sometimes justice isn't always served in jail. I think it is a shame that he is being punished for what he did. What is more important however is that the father got his revenge. Sometimes it is necessary to take justice in your own hands. I applaud the father for what he did. +It is extremely upsetting that there is a cultural war going on and no one seems to care. The values of muslims in general are not compatible with western culture. Further more, it is an ideology that promotes violence and terrorism. Until people become less tolerant of this disgusting dogma, things like this will continue to happen. If muslims want to be viewed in a better light in the west, they need to work on reforming their religion from within. +Climate change isn't just about affect the weather negatively for future generations. It apparently will also affect food sources. We may be able to overcome this with our technology and science but will our food turn into frankenfood that could potentially have long term side effects that cannot be seen yet? Underdeveloped countries are especially going to be affected by diminishing crops due to climate change. +I thank God because my sisters were born in USA instead of those countries in the middle east who still believe in male guardianship.Can you imagine a woman seeking permission fro a male figure who is a relative and sometimes a son to acquire a passport?that is so bad.I hope the activists will succeed in helping this women because this is so outrageous. +I'm not a fan of Muslim migrants myself. I find most of Arab culture backwards and antithetical to American values. This is pretty fucked up, though. This article feels like something out of the 1960s. Makes you consider the cyclical and incremental nature of human history. Despite our technological advances we fall prey to the same prejudices and biases again and again. Before we were burning Native Americans, then the Irish, then Blacks, and now Muslims. Human progress at work. +Hey just wanted to write you a note and see if you have been watching the news. They are reporting finding a mass grave near mosul of 100 dead bodies most of them decapitated and some thirty three thousand people that is displaced . that is terrible. We need to do something. The US is setting up service centers families which is a great idea. +The US has done some super shady things. How we treated these people is horrible, and I'm not sure whether I'm more upset or just feel bad for the Americans who went along with it. It sort of reminds me of the SS officers during WWII- like at some point it seems like they all realized what they were doing wasn't kosher and definitely crossing ethical boundaries. Yet they all continued because .... why? I know the whole thing about the military is going along and just obeying orders but what was going on there was seriously seriously messed up. +Reading this article makes me feel sad for many reason. I myself have no idea why those countries are always at war and why so many people are loosing their lives. It also makes me sad to imagine myself in a situation where I am constantly in fear of my life. With so many being lost already it makes me sad to think about these things continually happening. +These people are dumb for voting for him. They can't even tell that he's exploiting their feelings and has no intentions to helping them. He's just taking advantage of the situation for his own gain. They'll find out soon and they'll be the ones who end up suffering most from this. I don't really have too much sympathy for them. +I'm always upset to hear about violence erupting as a result of lives lost due to police action. I believe most police officers are good people, but there is a pervasive issue of racism ingrained in many police departments. The protests were certainly justified. Police should be subjected to psychological testing to determine whether they have an inclination toward racism. Those that do need to be removed from active duty immediately. +You should check out this article. As I was reading I was happy that the injuries were not worse tha n they were. Could you imagine being in any sort of situation like this? It makes me feel bad for people with children, could you imagine letting you r children leave every day and not knowing what could happen to them? +The liberal left has struck again. They continue to react negatively to Trump being president even 18 months after the election. This whole thing about getting an IUD now because Trump will make birth control unaffordable in the near future is ridiculous. Just another issue to get people stirred up. Most Trump supporters are conservative when it comes to economic issues but moderately liberal when it concerns social issues. Big changes in birth control, same sex marriages, abortion, and women’s rights are not going to happen. I would like to ask the haters how their lives have changed for the worse since the election! +Hi, I have learned that Syria’s war escalated abruptly on Friday. Government forces and their Russian allies launched ferocious aerial assaults on Aleppo. Repeated airstrikes destroyed buildings and engulfed neighborhoods, and flames killed about 100 people there. What is gained with this senseless violence? +I knew trump really doesnt' believe fully in the climate change and that it's caused my human actions. I think he's putting this topic on the back burner since there are more important things to concentrate. I have to say I agree with him but at some point during his presidency, it should be looked at and see what kind of changes, if any need to take place, and then make them happen +I hope everyone is ok. I was in a small earthquake and it was extremely scary. A lot of people can die if you don't have safe buildings. I think there should be a major international effort to provide guidance for any nations in an earthquake prone region so that we can do a little bit to prevent more deaths when the earthquakes inevitably hit. +Well, this is frustrating. Not only will the new law not really help, but it doesn't sound like anything will help. It's a good point, about having to get the fishers on board with saving the paquita, but I don't know how to convince them. If it came down to feeding my family or saving a handful of dolphins that are probably going to die out anyway, there's a good chance I'd pick my family. The story's a year or two old -- so once I've finished doing what I'm doing, I'm going to look up the paquita and see what's happened since then. +Hello there. So I just read this disturbing story about a teacher who is involved in child pornography. He is now going to face courts for such a disgusting habit. I think this teacher should really be punished exemplarily so that even those who were thinking of doing it can take notice. This is totally unacceptable in our education system +It's amazing how much destruction two large warring nations can do to such a smaller nation. The Middle East was never in a position of power, they have been fighting for a millenia, but the destruction is much greater now, there has never been weaponry so large and crushing to such a small state nation. It's unbelievable that an entire generation of culture will be separated from their families and can only take what they have learned so far. +Hey, did you read this article? I feel really bad for all who are dealing with these extreme weather crisis. Fires, floods, extreme heat is all getting out of hand and I am praying for everyone who has bee and will be harmed. I pray for a solution. There has to be something that can be done about this, right? +It is very upsetting to hear about a family losing their children in such a freak accident way. As a parent myself I can only imagine the horrible feelings that this family is going through and how everyone must be feeling right now to lose these little girls as such a young age. No one should have to bury their own children, it is just terrible. +More toddlers and preschoolers are overdosing on opioids — In recent years, rates of toddlers and preschoolers hospitalized for opioid overdoses more than doubled, according to a new study. In fact, overdoses rose more than 100% over a 16-year period among all children, the study published in JAMA Pediatrics Oct. 31 showed. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine analyzed national data from the Kids’ Inpatient Database on children admitted to U.S. hospitals for opioid poisoning. The study focused on more than 13,000 records from patients ages 1 to 19 between 1997 to 2012. What's to blame? Possibly the increase of prescribed pain killers, including OxyContin and Vicodin. Research from 1999 to 2010 show retail sales of prescription opioids quadrupled."Even in children younger than 6 years, +Here is an article for you. It's an old one, obviously. I am so sick of Republicans. They are a cowardly, spineless bunch who fall in line behind Trump every time. Let's hope they get a major butt whooping in November. But this article demonstrates how we can't take anything for granted. I remember back then, when all the polls showing wins for Hillary and the Democrats. I haven't trusted the polls since then, and I know you don't trust them either. And who knows what the Russians are going to do this time around? No one has tried to stop them, so why wouldn't they try to interfere in our elections again? We have to keep an eye out and do whatever we can to make sure there's no funny business at the polls in November. +I just read an article about elephants and how they are becoming extinct due to people being more concerned towards their need fr ivory than they are for the precious lives of elephants. I don't understand why people have such little regards for the well being of the elephant species, knowing that they are on the verge of extinction and it upsets me severerly knowing that we are taking them for granted. +Poor orangutan. I hope her treatment is successful and she is able to return to living in the wild, or at least in a zoo. You hear a lot of stories these days about illegal animal trading. Humans need to learn that wild animals are not there for our entertainment and should be kept in their habitats. +I would give these people a life sentence in prison. People who steal from the less fortunate and exploit resources and innocents have no place in our society! They stole from pensioners and investors and blew millions on luxuries and other forms of pleasurable experiences at the expense of people, causing suffering and pain! They should be punished accordingly, a dark cell with a toilet and a meal of prison mush twice a day would serve them just right. It's a typical story about wealthy and elite out there, who always harm the innocents and somehow able to get away and proven "innocent". I would especially show no mercy when it comes to these greedy bankers all over the world. There is absolutely no excuse for their crimes-so much poverty and grief all over the world! +Imagine the excitement of going to a concert and the buildup for days after buying tickets. Imagine that you finally get to see these bands play and all of the sudden you hear gunshots ring out. You see people falling down, dead. How are you supposed to cope with that? How can you get up the next day and feel that this is a world worth living in? +Other story similar to the local news about the killing of a woman I know in town. It always makes me think of the children first. It also makes me wonder how a person could commit such atrocities, especially in front of children. The child that called 911 will no doubt mentally live with that phone call for the rest of their life. Article seem to have been murder, and a middle class home, maybe drug use or robbery gone wrong? What is wrong with the world today? I will certainly hug my children tighter tonight after reading all these articles about murder, grieving children, deaths, worldly disasters and sadness. The world is such an interesting, wonderful yet sad place all at once. I will also say a prayer for those kids and pray and be thankful for mine. +I found this article that was really sad about these divers that they found dead in a Florida cave system. It was so sad. I was really depressed after reading it. Perhaps they shouldn't have gone so far down because there was a sign saying not to, but still, it was very sad that they died. They were experienced and should have survived, but they didn't. I really feel sorry for their friends and family. They will be dearly missed. Please pray for them and their families. +The problem of poaching has become such an epidemic guides in South Africa who use to take hunters on big game safari's are now becoming a different kind of hunter themselves. They've taken up arms in the war on poaching due to the fact it is an outrageous epidemic at this point. Animals like the rhino are on the brink of extinction and poachers don't care. +Yet another reason to have more strict immigration rules. These people know the dangers that they face when they do this, so it is hard to feel very sorry for them. I don't think giving them more information on these dangers will stop them, but patrolling the waters and turning these human traffickers back will. If it is made difficult for these human traffickers to exploit these people, it will happen less often. +I don't know much about cricket but apparently in England it's a very big deal! This one town's team is under the gun to win the championship and needs only 33 more points to pull it off. Can you imagine the pressure of the coach and players??? That must be some fierce competition over there. I wonder if they have as big of a fan base as most of our sports do here in the states? +I feel like Aleppo is a legit war zone right now. You can get killed anywhere at anytime. I feel so sorry about the innocent families and children that are involved and would like other nations to at least help Syria and other Middle Eastern Countries and accept refugees. The thought of losing your child or someone in your family is really disturbing. +The shark attack described was distressing. I'm glad to know that the victim is okay. There is something about shark attacks that seems so unexpected and primal...really frightening. At the same time I can appreciate how people want to protect the natural wildlife in the area. Its a tough call. I know the measures they take will never be perfect. I guess I'm on the fence about what they're doing to protect the sharks. +The war in Syria is one in which the US needs to get out of. We have no reason to be involved there, and staying involved will just risk the war expanding and making the region worse off. We need to get out, like, yesterday. Also, we are wasting billions on this that could be used for universal healthcare and increasing the minimum wage. +Our system has failed us once again and continues to fail us daily. The idea that a foster care system allows for brothers to be split apart that came in together in insane. It's strange to me that we treat human life as if it is less than important. I wish that people would wake up from the old-world ideals and behavior. Thanks to the 20th century and the advent of film as a story-telling mechanic, we have the ability to be able to share stories with each other on a bigger level. I can't believe that it's 2018 and we still operate as if it's 1400 a.d. I am disgusted by our modern culture and our governmental system. It's all a sham. We are slaves. +The article I read was about the disparity in responsibility for birth control between men and women. A new male birth control was rejected as having too many side effects on men, when options available to women have far more and more severe side effects. The article mentioned that birth control for women revolutionized lives so much that the side effects were deemed acceptable, but men are not accustomed to ceding convenience for responsibility, are used to women taking control in this area. +this article about people targeting muslims is sickening. One lady's clothes were set on fire! Who does that?! Another lady was with her 15 month old child and was punched in the face :( It makes me so sick that hate going on in todays world. I understand that there are terrorists and some are muslims. But that does not mean we should say that every muslim should pay the price. +This is absolutely awful. I can't even imagine the amount of pain the victim had. The only suspected motive was after Comunale rejected the sexual advances of one of the men inside the apartment? Really? That's not a good reason at all to kill someone. How dare he. What a tragic story this is, and it makes me heart churn just trying to think of the robbed life that was taken. +I think most people would be disturbed about how animals are treated before they are slaughtered and used for meat. I feel like aside from clearly inhumane treatment, it should be expected that killing an animal for food isn't exactly going to be the most pleasant process for the creature. I'm not particularly surprised that the method of stunning chickens has a failure rate. +Wow, this is terrible! I know a lot of you use L'Oreal products. You should read this. It has to do with a woman getting awful burns from using their products. She's going to sue the company. I think we should support her. No company should get away with this. It's a horrible reaction and it's just plain terrible what she has to go through. +I'm not sure what can be done but global warming is affecting us in many other areas then the ones we have seen and heard. Did you know our coffee crops are in danger of being wiped out? That's right, I just read this article detailing the struggles currently going on with coffee crop farmers. There is an intense struggle at the moment for them to maintain their crops and to keep them going. The warm temperatures have really threw a wrench into their day to day operations and maintaining the coffee crops has become quite a challenge. We are in danger of either paying really high prices on coffee or worse case scenario being without coffee period. This is very distressing for me. Can you imagine not having our cup of coffee daily to get us through the days? This is truly tragic. +It's ridiculous that those talk shows of daytime tv moved on to be more like soap opera's. They could have done alot of good for their fans, but then it just became more of a cheap laugh. The people that lost their jobs on Sally Jesse Raphael had families they supported. After being told the show would be renewed, it was a harsh blow to find out that wasn't the case. I feel for those that were put out of work. +Ugh. That's rough. I feel so bad for that little girl and she deserves to live in a world where justice is made, but that eye-for-an-eye type justice is so medieval. The guy obviously deserves a very harsh punishment, but this is barbaric. This is the difference between revenge and justice. A 20-year prison sentence makes so much more sense than blinding. +We need to destroy the system that allows these things to happen. Capitalism that reinforces these disgusting habits must be destroyed utterly and the Christian religion should be wiped out in its entirety. There is no excuse for this kind of repulsive behavior that drives people to abuse these children. +I don't know why is that the people was injured. But what a horrible new, I know that this kind of incidents perturb a lot to the citizen of that country. Powerful nations need to create associations to defend those countries that suffer from the injustice. Some countries around have leaders that abuse from their people. This kind of situations must be investigated and punished by an international organism. +I just read an article on how many civilians are killed by airstrikes by NATO forces. This is a major issue because the mainstream media never report these stories. The media only paints NATO as the good guys and never in a bad light. They can commit acts that can be deemed a war crime but as long as they are the authority they do not need to be accounted for. +I always feel soft hearted when I read about the holocaust. To imagine going through that experience and just knowing that there are people that evil makes me angry and sad. But to see people try to make something positive out of something so negative makes me happy. Also I feel that it's so great to remember those who died without ever living their lives. +I think that this is really sad. It seems to be something that is ingrained in all humans. I am thankful that it mostly just effects children, but it seems kind of hopeless that we will ever fully solve this problem. I think the only real way is for adults to be consistently vigilant and make sure that we are not ignoring the kids that this is effecting. +As someone who works in healthcare I have not encountered THIS type of thing yet, but everyone has an embarrassing story and while the ER may have not seen the exact same thing, they've likely seen crazier, just own it and GO IN. you can always tell people about your own embarrassing experience in third person, much better than losing a limb, organ or your life. +It's about time somebody stood up to Mexico. We are being flooded with mexicans and immigrants flooding over the border. It's an invasion as far as I'm concerned. I could go into detail about all the negatives it causes. But what I am sick of is every time we want to do something about it, all the naysayers and doomsdayers through NAFTA and Trade and economics in our face. I get it we made some dumb deals in the past that have lead to bad consequences, but we elected Trump to take a new direction. Mexico will have to get their act together too, I'm sick of them acting like saints everytime we want to take an action. +‘Silicon Valley’ stars recount being harassed by Donald Trump supporters — “Silicon Valley” stars Kumail Nanjiani and Thomas Middleditch both took to Twitter Saturday morning to recount their experience being harassed by two Donald Trump supporters in a Los Angeles bar. “Was at a bar last night with @Middleditch. At the end of the night, 2 white dudes, 20’s, who’d been there for hours came up to us,” Nanjiani began, adding that they said they were fans, but thought they were “wrong about Trump.” “I go ‘Hey we don’t wanna discuss politics right now.’ His friends goes ‘oh they’re cucks.’ +People are still talking about Hillary Clinton....which is sooooooooo old news...she lost fair and square and people just need to get over it.......She lost to Trump, which means we definitely didn't want her as our president. She and everyone else needs to stop blaming everything and everyone else.........Lets all just do each other a favor and just pretend she never happened and just let her retire in silence. +And another shooting of a black man by a cop. While most of the time, I feel that the shooting is justified, with the evidence presented, I definitely think this needs to go to a jury for a decision. I agree that she should have been trained for this scenario, but no one knows exactly what their emotions will be in a situation like this one. It was a domestic violence call, which are extremely dangerous for police officers. But I don't understand why less than lethal methods weren't deployed first. +I think it's hard to determine things like this unless the entire program in each community is being monitored. If not, the money spent versus the number of children being taught or learning from this process is hard to determine. I do think that connecting the schools is important though and that children should be learning computers, but by the time they're in the workplace, the jobs may have changed. +This is just disgusting. I cannot believe that this is happening to people. Why are people afraid to go to the doctor? there is no reason for this. I am numb to all this madness and I cannot believe I am writing about a man's penis right now. I cannot find any excuse for this and people need to be educated about the healthcare system so they are not so afraid of it. +Hey, I saw your post about people harming the environment and I definitely agree with you. Just take a look at this article - it talks about how foods are being wasted and it can potentially harm the environment. Since so many people do not care about the environment or do not know the effects of harming the environment, how about you and see set up some program that would help improve the environment? +An animal center did not take care of animals properly. There was complaints by an employee about horrid conditions that the owner did not do anything about. Animal centers are not regulated so the owners do whatever they want without consequences. Dogs died of heat exhaustion because they were not supervised and did not have proper ventalation in a room known to get vey hot. +Trump is president get over it snowflakes. People still complaining about him being president need to shut the fuck up and just accept it like a big boy or girl. Things happen and there isnt anything they can do about it. All i see are big ass babies that need something to whine about . Forming lines across roads interferring with peoples lives is just childish and people need to grow up and take off those damn diapers +I really liked this guys music. It's hard to feel too sad though. He lived a full and excellent life. His music will live on for generations and there is every bit of the chance that he will never be forgotten. It is not bad to live to 80. many others live far shorter lives and some peoples existence seems as meaningless as a fart in the wind. +I felt very bad when read these kinds of news. For me, it is vital to protect women and kids. I think they are vulnerable than men. The society should give more protect to them. I really feel pity for the girls who had suffering like that. I hate those bad people that did all these crimes. They should be punished. +Kind of cool that researchers have found that bonobos tend to become farsighted as they age, which is quite similar to humans. They also observed their grooming practices. Some even take turns grooming one another, which is pretty cool. The article was extremely hard to read and understand, especially with it being written in one giant block, so those are really the only key points I got from it. +This article held some very valid views that I have been trying to explain for years. The hypocrisy that America generates is overwhelming and others can see this too. We are holding ourselves so high up as a free country meanwhile a black man can not even get pulled over without having a white man pulling a gun on him. +This area has been devastated by natural disasters and it appears to only be getting worse. I can't believe the amount of disasters that appear to be concentrated in one place, and the resilience that the citizens have shown to survive. I also can't believe the looting and break-ins that have been reported in the area, what kind of people steal from those in need? +It is disturbing to me that people in the US are not starting as many small businesses and the number of entrepreneurs is falling. I think it's because of all the government regulations and red tape that makes it difficult for a small business to start up and compete. It's also of concern that US workers are stressed about job security. +Hey man can you believe that again the sea ice is at its lowest level again! I just read an article on it and It seems like it keeps going lower and lower. I feel really worried for animals that depend on the sea ice, polar bears I think really need it. Plus I read how it can have a really bad impact on our climate because the ice reflects so much of the sun's energy without it even more heat from the sun gets in and doesn't get reflected. Definitely something to watch and worry about. +How could someone treat such an intelligent creature so horribly. You'd think by now people would figure out that we don't have any superior right to health and happiness over other animals on Earth. You'd think people would be too ashamed of the CHANCE of getting caught acting like this to actually have the audacity to treat another living creature so despicably. +Wow. Here we go again, I guess???? A couple of years ago that area in Tennessee was completely devastated by uncontrollable wildfires. Many people lost their lives and their homes. Many businesses were also destroyed. I hope this fire wasn't like that one. A group of kids who were playing with matches in the woods set it on fire. They fled the area and told no one +Hello Friend how are you? How are your children behaving? I do not understand much about politics but now the President of this country and that of Ruisa joined forces when fighting against Syria. They called Syria as the first threat and classified it as terrorists. I really do not understand what is the reason for so much hearing and what was the initial problem. I know that there are many good people in Syria, so it makes me think that many people died when the President of Russia bombed Syria. Many good people die. I consider that the war does not solve anything, it has not done it before and neither will it now. +All the unrest in the Middle East has me really concerned with my son being deployed over there. There's so much going on in Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries and I'm so worried he will end up right in the middle of it all. Please say a prayer that he is safe over there and that nothing bad happens while he is there! +Hello friends I have just read an article about these people from egypt that were on a boat and then they got shipwrecked I think. The recent scientist of the earth have no found the evidence about the ship and the bodies and are beginning to make ideas up about the people. They said that the people were on the ship and I forgot why or what they were doing but it is still a little bit interesting. The article was very long and hard to read though. +I am not sure if you saw that Fernandez is dead. That is really going to impact the Marlins. I didn't know all that he went through as a child to get to America. It is sad when someone with such light and hope is killed either in an accident or by some jealous fan. I know he was really important to a lot of people. I am glad they decided to cancel the Braves game. Nobody is really going to be focused enough to play anyway. +Hey i just saw this post and this is so sad that the kids in venezuela do not have neough to eat can you beleive that some kids only eat a smll meal for one whole day instead of three full course meals i can not even belueve that what is happening o the world where we arw more concered about putting money inot guns and creating ar when we have bigger issue son our hnads such as te hunger that these people are suffering and there kids so many kids are sudfering and even fainting +While reading the article, I did not really care too much about the protests made by people in South Korea against their President mainly because it is in South Korea and not here in America. Although I didn't really have much concern for the article I just read, I hope that these protests will end in South Korea. +Do you hear about that teacher that body-slammed a student and now the student lost his leg? Understand kids can be so wild and disrespectful why would you body slam a child? That was my child I'd be furious and that individual should be very fearful of his consequences for putting their hand so roughly on my child regardless of what the reason was. +Apparently an actor was found dead in a Talk show host's home. Not sure what occurred but you have to feel sorry for those close to them. I certainly don't want to be negative and assume that demons finally caught up with him or an assault of some sort occurred but it is odd and they clearly have family who lost a loved one. It a shame that someone with talent to entertain and act would lose their life at a younger age and I guess it could be any of us but it's sad foor thoose who knew him and my heart goes out to them. +I heard about a rock climber who died in Vietnam trying to scale it's highest mountain. I remember we've talked about going on vacation there. Sadly it was a young guy, 22, not much younger than us. It's a really tragic story because he was on the trip with his girlfriend and when it went off on his own he became lost. In his final moments they were actually in contact through texting. +the reports of officers being killed just because they are police officers is obsurb. Police officers all get a bad reoutation because you got some dumbass officer that kills someone they had no right killing and all officers are tagged as murderers and corupt. officer are here to protect and serve you and keep you safe +Hey, This is some sad news. The rhino couldn't be saved from his infectious diseases, so he had to be put down. I feel bad for the animal as he or she didn't have to live this way. In addition, it was difficult to find treatment for the rhino, so I feel bad for the veterinarians that had to take care of the rhino. +Well here is another story about the dangers of selfies. I'm mystified by this "fad" of selfies. I have never even thought about taking one. But maybe thats just my age or generation. Anyhow another idiot taking a selfie got attacked by a snake. Seems like selfie taking affects the brain or at least the part of brain. I have heard about people getting in fatal car crashes while taking selfies, and falling off a cliff, and being fatally attacked by bears, lions, etc etc. Now a python. +A guy named Collins was charged with stealing nude celebrity photos and videos. While his behavior is clearly unacceptable, one thing to note is the article is calling this a hack. Hacking and nothing is safe, not you, not yours, not your loved ones, is kind of a way to make people afraid and keep reading. In reality, this guy just kinda sent an email to these celebrities and said hey i need your password this is google from google, hurry its an emergency and they fell for it. I feel bad for them, we've all been tricked at least once in our lives by something on the internet, but it isn't like this guy cracked the security of google and we're all doomed. +This is a terrible story. In a way, I feel happy that the child no longer has to suffer. Had the child lived he would be mess for the rest of his life. I am just angry at the mother. This is what happens when a state has weak laws. She is only facing 15 years for what she did. She should be given the death penalty. I am disgusted with the legal system. Thank God I don't live in California. +This person's actions were way over the top! While I may not necessarily like that Trump is in office but I still respect the fact that he is where he is. Just because I didn't get my way doesn't mean that I would act like this! This person took away from others and should be punished for what they did. +When he was born, my son tested for elevated lead levels in his blood, and we don't live near Chicago. We were more than a bit scared, and tried to help him learn not to stick things in his mouth. Lead damage is not reversible, and we lived in an old house. To think that every day people are drinking water with as much lead as indicated is a bit disturbing - and it's not going to be cheap to fix. +I would find it hard to believe that the students are still alive if they were handed over to the drug cartel. If these students were on a trip to hijack vehicles, then law enforcement should not use their time and resources to search for them, especially after 2 years. Their time should be spent on non-criminals. But if they believe the police are the ones who handed them over to a drug cartel, then they should probably look into that then using these same people to locate them. +The filthy scourge known as child slavery is rearing its ugly head again, this time in Myanmar. The United Nation's has estimated somewhere around one million Burmese children have had to stop going to school and start finding jobs. And trying to find a job is where in the trouble lies, it's very heart breaking for the families but with little other choice what can they do? +I don't believe this at all. I think people are overreacting to the news that Trump was elected president. There are always bad apples out there, no matter who the president is. To blame this on the president, right after he was even elected, is wrong. Give the guy a chance and get over it and try to make something positive of this. +Reading this article makes me upset. I hate what we do to native people. It seems as a society we seem to ignore their feelings and traditions just to move ourselves forward. We forget that we intruded onto their land to make ourselves homes that we enjoy yet we can't offer them the same good feeling. To even think that the option of having dangerous amounts of mercury seep into the waters is beyond me. +What are we going to do, start collecting cow farts? That sounds like a good job to me. I bet the benefits are good. I guess the liberals will try to blame meat eaters for this some how. I mean, maybe we can develop some kind of methane collection system and then use the cow farts to power the world. Talk about renewable energy! +It seems wind turbines are killing a lot of birds. In particular the golden eagle which is an endangered species, I believe the article said. I don't understand why they don't cage in the turbine blades like they do with house fans. I mean it sucks bird kind everywhere, but it's either the turbine or toxic smog. +I think if someone is going to take on that responsibility in raising cattle they should at least know what they are doing. This guy, Bundy, does not care for them. They hardly have food or water. They get no interaction so when they do need to round them up, they're mean. That should be illegal. I'm suprised he has not been caught yet. He is very lucky because when he get caught he will regret not taking proper care of them. +I hate the conflict that is happening here. I feel for the three soldiers that died and their families. I guess I'm too much of a pacifist but I really wish that people could realize that this level of conflict is a waste of resources and lives. However, I also know that this isn't how the world works. +I can't believe just how much manipulation went on behind the scenes of Donald Trumps campaign. I feel like we will never know the true extend of how corrupt his whole deal was. First you hear about all these huge collections of data and then you get the idots who defend him about climate change being fake. +Well, this certainly is rich and pathetic. The Muslims and their terrorist mouthpiece Council on American-Islamic Relations are all whiny that someone tried to do to them what they have been doing to everyone else all over the world. Never hear a word out of them when they're blowing up cars and shooting up innocent people in the streets do you? +This article is so alarming. The fact that many Indonesians aren't safe in their own home country is very distressing. A lot of people can't afford to leave, so they're stuck risking their lives because of this haze, which is nothing that they can do anything about. A lot of innocent people are getting a raw deal, here. +I think justice has been served one way or another. This person seemed like a danger to society. I think it's only right they should meet their end in this fashion. People like this should be removed from society before they do something that will hurt others. I feel bad for anyone who was in danger from this mad man. +Hi there. I just read an article and I feel like I need to share my thoughts on it. It was about an oil spill!! Oil spills are so upsetting. I feel so sorry for all the ocean life and animals that are affected and WILL be affected! It's so tragic. I wish we could prevent these from ever happening again. +Even though I am not in favor of the conservative party, I still do not understand why the Jewish people would be struggling to understand "Trump's electron". It is not a one party election so at some point or another the Democratic or the Republican party will be in the white house. There will always be naysayers on either side. Everyone everywhere do need prayers and I do appreciate the prayers from the Jewish community. +I could not help but think of my and my son would we be in a similar situation. I know my son is much younger and the situation would be very different, but part of me can feel the water as we are swimming to get safe. I can see myself looking back to be sure that he is still with me, maybe reaching back to try to pull him closer. It is a very intense thought. +The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different. I realize, ‘Wow, I really thought that I was so brave and so gracious this entire time and really I was just hiding.’” Handler, whose mom died of breast cancer in 2006, got choked up during the emotional interview. “Don’t cry! Don’t cry!” Doherty told the talk show host as Handler tried to hold back tears. “Well, I mean, all right — hold on a second,” Handler, 41, said, while tilting her head back to keep the tears from streaming down her face. “This was very hard and not humbling — because I’ve already been humbled by cancer,” Doherty then continues. “It was hard in the sense of rethinking sort of who you are and how you come to terms with who are now an +Hey just wanted to write you a quick note. I saw on the news today a women pushed another women into the train tracks at the midtown manhattan subway station yesterday. What is going on with people? The police didnt have a motive yet. The authorties said approx 24 people per year are killed on the tracks but its usually accidental. +Death to all cops! We cannot allow the police force to continue existing. They are nothing more than government sanctioned mass murderers that exist to protect White capitalist interests by slaughtering hundreds. We must deceively destroy the police as a concept without any hesitation or remorse. All police are our enemies! There are no good cops! +I read an article about a young mother-to-be who lost her twins, prematurely, after being shot in the stomach. It really raises a good question for me and a lot of people, which is: when do we consider a life to begin? As for me, I consider life to begin when a human takes his or her first breath. Possibly a religious thing, I guess -- my parents and grandparents and entire family believed the same. But because there is no unified belief system as to this issue, I find it difficult to form an opinion as to how people should be prosecuted when a fetus is harmed. I really wish there were one answer to this problem. +It disgusts me that this leak occurred, there should have been a better contingency plan to stop all of those gallons oil from spilling. I feel so bad for the environment and the animals who well be negatively affected by this spill. I feel compassion for the people who rely on the oil, and now have to pay inflated prices and search for gas. +There's something terrifying about being attacked by animals. It's even more horrifying to find out the animals that are attacking you are the ones you think are so cute and adorable. I just read an article about squirrels attacking a retirement home and injuring three elderly. It must have been so terrifying for them to encounter this event. Imagine going out to feed the squirrels like you usually do and in turn get attacked by these rabid critters! It's so shocking and I'm still shaking after reading this. They had to call in the ambulances and animal control to help the situation out. This is tragic. The bites from the attack could lead to rabies and other diseases. I feel troubled thinking about this because these elderly can't really react quick enough in these situations. +These are problems that US solider had to deal with for many year. Hell, you could even go back much, much further if you want to. War is hell, and it can--and often does--do a ringer to your psyche and overall mental health. That's why we as a society need to pump more resources into mental health as we do physical health. +I just read this article about a murder suicide. This couple, their three kids, and their dog were all dead from gunshot wounds. They even shot the dog. :( The family seemed really normal. They had some issues with stress and the relationship, but who doesn't? It's really eerie that people can be like that and you won't even know it. +I really think everyone should read this article. This story shows perfectly how damaging and dangerous guns can be to all people on both sides of the law. This is why this country needs to make it harder for everyone to be able to obtain a gun. This is especially true to those who have been involved in domestic and sexual abuse incidents. +I think its fine that people protest. I dislike president Trump as much as those protesters. But what they are doing its wrong. They cant be destroying property or been a menace for other people. Guys, do it peacefully, that's the best way to do things, otherwise you will get arrested and in trouble. +I think that it would a great thing if all students could get connected to the internet. The internet will provide them ways to learn more and it will help them further their education as well. I think that President Obama's plan for the internet should have really worked better to so that all students can have an opportunity to use computers anytime that they want to. +this article is about As part of its fight against childhood obesity, the organization of nations has called on Member States to introduce restrictions on advertising of aforementioned products on all platforms including the internet. In 2012 in Europe, said the WHO, children use ‘digital media’ for nearly two hours daily on weekdays. And on weekends, they’re online an extra half an hour longer. Internet use is increasing sharply, the organization added, and the trend covers all age groups. Hidden junk food ads online For starters, Google, Facebook and YouTube are the sites with most daily visits online. Meanwhile, Android and iPhone (iOS) are the top platforms on hand-held communication devices, and they also have advertisements via applications. +a 6.4 magnitude on the richter scale earthquake hasshaken up the whole capital of santiago, chile. chile is very propense to earthquakes and natural disasters. we have heard of an earthquake that scaled out to be 8.8 and destroyes over 200 thousand homes in chile. i feel very bad for the people who died. and send out my compassion to the family of the 55 dead in this earthquake. +Just read an article that explored Trump's appeal and why he won the election. It indicated that Trump had a simple appeal to the darker side of people, the look out for myself and not others side, it explored Trump's ability to partner with those that are hurting and feel left out of society through lack of jobs, etc. He used this association to promote his agenda, with simple phrases that were easy to remember, and tailored it to the good old boy network. The article didn't really explore Russia's influence on the election, only addressed Trump's appeal to certain groups. +Boring. I don't care, again, because it doesn't impact me or anyone I know directly. These people should move. I sure as hell wouldn't stay there. I do find it hilarious that this is happening in California, where they seem so concerned about every possible social issue under the sun, especially taking care of people who are here illegally, yet there are parts of the state where actual citizens can't drink the water like they're living in a third world nation. Then again, given Commiefornia's stated desire to secede, they might get to live their third world dream. +Reading about atrticles like this in a country i dont care about has no meaning to me. Im lower class worker in the USA. This kind of stuff makes no difference in my life because i struggle to even feed my kids. People facing hardship in other coutries is there problem not mine and i have no real feeling towrds those people +I cannot believe there is someone evil enough in this world to torture a poor, helpless kitten this way. Did you read this article? The kitten was wrapped so tightly, it's little legs were close to it's face. It made me cry. It is horrifying to think people that are capable of this exist. Anyone that does this is a true psychopath. What will they do next? Murder young children? Anyone that is that cruel to animals should be punished. Please share. We have to raise awareness. +I just read an article about U.S. soldiers being killed in Jordan. This is tearing my heart out and I can't get the images of what must have happened out of my mind. You know that I was in the military myself and it makes it that much harder on me. I can't begin to imagine how the families of these soldiers must feel. From what I read, apparently this was an accident and the soldiers were shot when they failed to stop at the checkpoint going into the base. The base was already on alert due to a previous car bomb attack. I'm guessing that they felt they couldn't take any chances on it being another car bomber and went ahead and shot at the vehicle. It's so sad. It's bad enough that these brave men have to face dangers from the enemy, but when they get taken down by friendly fire? +This article was very interesting but also written a little strange. It was about a wolf who had wondered off from the pack. The wolf was a protected wolf part of a group being protected by some biological organization. Had a tracking monitor on him and his life was largely documented. I guess he wondered from the pack looking to mate. Well the government, federal government, killed the wolf by a sniper person and its caused a big uproar. Kind of weird but I guess that is a thing. +Gosh, another article about the Middle East and terrorists. This was is pretty much like the one I ready earlier. Things never get better. The terrorists won't even allow people to leave the city they're holding, to try and reach the Iraqi army nearby who could help them. Maybe the UN needs to step in and do something. +Bankia a banking company in Spain had their board members spend unauthorized private money from the bank on hotels, entertainment food, and other luxuries. All this was spent from credit cards used by the bank itself. The spending was unauthorized and not reported to the tax authorities at all. Bankia was already in the limelight already due to being bailed out by the government in 13 million dollars. +I just read an article about leprosy found in squirrels. It is kind of scary to think about what diseases can be lurking in other animals that we are not even aware of. I worry enough about this kind of stuff as it is, and now I just have more to worry about when I leave the house. Sometimes I think that ignorance is bliss. It makes me want to just stay inside. +Like I have said before and will say it till I am blue in the face. I hate Donald Trump. He is not progressing the United States of America forward. He says his new slogan is Keep America Great, well, buddy, you got to make it great in the first place. He is one racist, misogynistic, egotistical liar and cannot wait till he leave, however way. +I didn't realize that a dam could cause so much problem. It is a shame that the people who are going to be impacted the most are the indigenous people. I don't understand how people feel it is okay to do this to them. Maybe there are many pros that I just don't know about and this article is focusing only on the negative of the methylmercury. I guess this goes to show that we as a human race can affect the environment in maybe a not so good way. What do you think about this? I am curious what you have to say about this. +I just read a very interested and heart touching article concerning Haiti. It is very sad to think about the amount of suffering the Haitian people have gone through in the past years. A lot of very sad hardships, from Earthquakes destroying already terrible infrastructure, to intense poverty. It makes me want to help the people. +Why do people do this. I would really hope that people did not take their own life, but if you are going to take your own life, why take other people's lives with yours? Why would you kill your own children, I do not know what kind of pain this man was going through, but I do not believe he should have taken that pain out on his children. I wonder how we can prevent this from happening. Are there early warning signs that we can spot? Did he ask for help in his life? I just really feel sorry for the children, they never got to live nowhere near a full life. +The story about what is going on currently in Venezuela is devastating. It is almost haunting and definitely disturbing. The economic crisis that is happening there is not only affecting people, but also the animals that live there. Especially in the zoos. We don't often let how a crisis in countries can affect animals cross our minds, we typically only think of the people. Not only is directly affecting the animals in the way that they are being fed diets that are drastically different from they should be consuming, but the people there are having to hunt animals that we would not typically deem acceptable. Such as cats, and dogs, and even going as far as to steal horses from racetracks simply to eat them, or to feed them to animals at the local zoos. Many animals have suffered for weeks. +Hey, I was just reading an article about that house fire that happened in WV. Can you imagine the tragedy? That is such a horrible way to die. And to think that two of the victims were children plus their dog. It makes me ill just thinking about it. Such a huge loss for that family and the community. I hope officials find out soon what caused it and I pray for the friends and family of those who were killed. So sad! +There has been more fighting from the Saudis in nearby Yemen. The United States continues to supply the Saudis with weapons and intelligence, despite the atrocious use they will be put to. These war crimes seem to be increasingly commonplace, yet the US continues to pursue the almighty dollar in supporting Saudi Arabia. +I just read an article blaming Donald Trump and his campaign for hate crimes against Muslims rising. It was your typical propaganda that the media pushes on you - you know, fear mongering mixed with unsubstantiated nonsense. It mentioned the supposed "Muslim ban" that Trump was responsible for. At that point, I lost interest in the article as it was 100% clear what the agenda was. +So, I had to read an article about somebody named Kylie Jenner, and evidently she has some sort of makeup line or something. Anyway, evidently she must be popular for some reason, because people are making counterfeit cosmetics and selling them as her brand. She put out some message about how you should only buy direct from her website. I guess a sucker is born every minute. +I was reading an article about the Zika virus. It was a fairly comprehensive article that went over what the virus was and how it affects humans. It's scary how it can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. I still don't think I have any serious chance of contracting the virus fortunately. Those that have are going to have a hard time in life. +I just read about an old couple that died while out in the water. Apparently they may have had some kind of health conditions, but nobody really knows. The people who checked the bodies think it was probably heart attacks that killed them. Anyway, it's really scary to think that at any given moment our hearts can just stop working and then we are gone forever. +What a terrifying ordeal that these plaintiffs went through. If I was them, I would be suing whoever was responsible, too. I try to avoid putting myself into situations like these, but life often does not care what you want. I hope that these people get the closure that they are seeking. I know I would want closure. +If you are using trumps name to make him look bad is not the answer here. I know that trump is not being a good president right now but lets not discredit his success. Somebody burned a church that is not related to Donald Trump at all, lots of Families go to that church. I think someone used this attack as an attack to Donald Trump because he is not affiliated with this and makes people look like he caused this +It is disturbing that one person’s views (such as President of the USA) can be so disruptive to people’s lives. The situation with the immigrants from Mexico and the idea of building a southern border wall is upsetting to me. President Trump policy and views are disruptive to the whole economy of Mexico, causes political tension and instability, not to mention the extreme uncertainty in the lives of Mexican immigrants in USA, who already have hard lives here. +Did you know that Saudi woman needs a man's approval for like everything? To work, to rent a flat, to get medical treatment. What is really sad is that even if she is widowed sometimes HER SON is asked for permission. There is a protest going on right now to get them to be able to be their own guardians after a certain age. I am very proud of these woman for fighting for their rights. I hope I get to read another article at a later date saying some kind of law was passed to let them have their own rights. +I feel so bad for Val, he is battling this disease and people are dwelling on the fact he may die soon. I think Douglas cares for Val,however,he should not make public comments regarding Val's condition, that is very intrusive to Val, and I feel anger towards Michael for being so rude and invading towards Val's condition. +Major Issue: "Study: More toddlers and preschoolers are overdosing on opioids — In recent years, rates of toddlers and preschoolers hospitalized for opioid overdoses more than doubled, according to a new study. In fact, overdoses rose more than 100% over a 16-year period among all children, the study published in JAMA Pediatrics Oct. 31 showed. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine analyzed national data from the Kids’ Inpatient Database on children admitted to U.S. hospitals for opioid poisoning. The study focused on more than 13,000 records from patients ages 1 to 19 between 1997 to 2012. What's to blame? Possibly the increase of prescribed pain killers, including OxyContin and Vicodin. " Really? Try doped up irresponsible parents who leave it lying around in the first place. +Hey, this is one reason I don't get on rides at amusement parks anymore. They are not reliable and they freak me out thinking that they are going to break. I got stuck on a roller coaster one time and I hated it. I was scared out of my mind. That was the last time I ever got on a ride. I'm not putting myself though that again no matter how fun the rides used to be. That must have been a horrible death for those people. +It's very upsetting to me that people feel they still need to poach elephants and rhinos just for their ivory. It's a species that you are making extinct here. Why are people not trying to control or help the situation more? There has to be some kind d of co trolling standards for the extinction of the rhino and elephant. I believe I saw something not that long ago that actually painted the tusks and got s of elephants and rhinos that permantely stained them so the poachers work not beable ti use the ivory. They stained them a pink or blue color. We should try and regulate that and do that so no one will kill these animals. If that's possible. +I would feel absolutely horrible to be in any of these parents shoes, I feel like they probably think they are completely lost, anxious, deserted. I would be a complete mess. I dont know exactly what i would do in that situation. I feel like the chaces are good neough for them to try for that second baby but i do inderstand them not wanting to rry because of the small chances of the other one having the zika virus anyways. +These are the headlines that I have to read these days! I just can't believe all of the horrid news that is taking over our lives lately. And now we have to worry about when our men and women go out to train, that this kind of thing can end of happening at the drop of a hat. So, who is responsible after this? Who helps the children now without parents? Who pays for everything surrounding their funerals, and all of the costs after that? +It really doesn't make since to me that someone would come to America and then carry out terrorist attacks. I would think they would stay in their own country if they hated this one so much. So I really wonder who the supposed terrorist are. The news media and government would have to do a better job explaining why the "terrorist" are carrying out these attacks because the reasons that they give doesn't make much sense to me. It just creates even more questions than answers. +i just read an article about a father who killed his daughter's adoptive grandfather because he had molested her and got off with a light sentence. its crazy. i mean, i can see why he would snap, if you can call it that, but.. i dont know. my feelings are all over the place. if someone hurt my kids i could see imagining killing tyhem, but i doubt i could acct on it. and there are all these people cheering his actions. like he has this weird fan club for doing it. his life is ruined, his daughter is a mess dealing with the guilt of it all, someone is dead. and it said on the way to kill the old man, he shot at an old boyfriend of hers he suspected was abusive. idk, maybe the heat of the moment since he already decided he was going to jail for murder. just such an emotional read +Hey, I think you should be careful around the Canonsburg area next time you visit Pennsylvania. The crime has been increasingly more dangerous within the past few years. According to this article that I read online, a police officer was shot to death and another police officer was injured in an ambush. I feel that if you were to come down to visit the area, then there would be something similar happening to other people. Ambushes, riots, and shootings are all problems occurring in the area. I feel bad for this city as it has a chance to redeem itself as a great city; however, with all the criminal activities happening, it makes it difficult to do that. +It's always sad to hear of entertainers, especially comics, losing their spark because of dementia. I wasn't really a Monty Python fan myself but I've heard a lot about them growing up and it seems that they were a great deal of fun for their fans. I know they influenced and produced some favorite comics of mine. +I've noticed there is a lot of disasters going on in the world. It is scaring me a little. I think that us humans have fault for that. This world cares way to much about money. If we didn't care to much about money we would have less problems going on. I honestly feel this world is coming to an end. I don't see any improvements or feel there is going to be any improvements. There is more natural disasters, new diseases, obesity, cancer more and more people are dying. So many people need mental help a lot of us are very depressed and anxious. I think it is very important for us to stay closer to god. +A Jordanian writer was shot and killed outside of a courthouse due to a cartoon he posted mocking ISIS. It's amazing that someone could be persecuted for mocking a terrorist organization who rose to fame by killing people and causing civil unrest. What reasonable country would prosecute someone for this? +This article reminds me of an incident that happened when I was a teenager. My stepdad worked at a power plant and there was some small explosion and three people died. One of them was the father of a guy I knew from school. I had heard his head was crushed. It was very disturbing imagery and it has stuck with me since. I worry about my husband working in a dangerous job, too, but it seems generally a lot of guys working in these places aren't following safety rules and that's how the accidents happen. +I just read this crazy article about Wells Fargo that I thought I would share with you. It turns out that low level employees were signing people up for products and things that they did not need. Sometimes they were even forging signatures to get this done. Now before you jump to conclusions and thin k that this is all the employees fault let me fill you in some more. Management came up with a quota and incentive system where employees(who don't make very good money to begin with) would make extra money the more people they signed up to these new accounts. So basically the people in charge over there thought that it was a good idea to screw over their account holders and give their low-level employees crazy quotas, all so they could make more money. Then its the workers getting fired. +Just read an article about a celebrity's parents divorcing, which definitely sucks, since that's always been something I've feared would happen with my parents. I don't think the writer of the article understands the emotional weight of the situation, though, since they only seem to care about the fact that the dad that filed for divorce is good looking. +Did you see where that Australian hiker found after 2 weeks in Malaysian jungle. He only had one day of food with him. He lived on berries and stuff. I think I could survive in the woods like that. I know a lot about native plants so I would do pretty good. Of course as long as it wasn't some place cold. The jungle would be hard but only if there are wild animals that would like to eat you for their food. At least the weather would be better. +Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. +I am sorry for this teacher who is just trying to do his best in a heated political moment. I have no doubt that he was only attempting to teach to the best of his ability and represent facts as he always has. I wish people could approach each other with more compassion in the spirit of education rather than attack those who are trying to better our children. I am glad to see that he received some national support. +Hey. I'm not sure if you have ever considered getting yourself screened for colon cancer. From what I have read, the prep for this screening seems quite unpleasant. Drinking massive amounts of a questionable substance heavy with salt doesn'r seem to be like a good time to me. I noticed that some items from a company have made it to phase two trials through the FDA. One is a food bar and the other one is a smoothie. They are supposed to have some kind of flavors to them like strawberry and lemon. I guess this should help with the process. +Dear C., I just read an article about gun deaths -- specifically when guns are used against children. Small, isolated cases that happened in small towns. As I was reading the background and history of the families, it occurred to me that there's a strong socioeconomic component present, and that the people described weren't what you and I would call middle-class, and definitely not well-educated. It's like we were talking about the other day, I don't think that the dems can possibly win this fight unless they are able to appeal to gun owners. I don't think that this dynamic is going to change -- I mean, when you think about it, guns symbolize power, and in the article I read, what came across is that the people who used them against children (one child against another) need to feel power. +She lost my sympathy really quick. Seems like she likes attention. This does make me look at Paris differently. These all seem like inside jobs. I would be safe there. But, I still don't plan on visiting. Not a fan of people endorsing candidates in countries that they can not vote. Seems like an ego thing. +So I just had to read this article for a survey. It was completely unformatted, an enormous text-wall essay list. I made it all the way through though. I'm not really into sports, which the article focused on, but the article did talk about a bunch of prominent women in sports and their accomplishments. It was a little hard to follow because I'm not really familiar with a lot of sports terminology or what accomplishments are big deals. I think people generally care more about men's performances, but it's good that women can be recognized for their accomplishments in sports too. There was one bit about a woman who got some popularity over what the writer called a "raunchy" photo shoot. I think that's kinda weird that something like that was even included in an article with feminist tone. +The good news is we live in a place that does not have much air pollution. The bad news is that people that have lung cancer that is exposed to air pollution may have a shorter survival time. Air pollution kills thousands of people each year. Researchers claim that the median survival for people diagnosed with early stages of lung cancer is expected to live 3 times shorter amount of time than those that do not. Of course, we all should stay away from cigarette smoke but it is unfortunate that we have air pollution. They can figure out a way to get to the moon but can not seem to figure out a way to clean our air. +I think there are way to many people watching CNN in this country. They need to grow up. People are way to sensitive. We can not walk around on egg shells worrying about if we are going to offend someone. People will say mean things. People will hurt your feelings. grow up and get over it. Don't let it bother you. These people do not rule your life. You do! +A Russian twelve year old left for school one morning. Her mother went looking for her when she didn't return home. When she called her cell phone she was told that her daughter had committed suicide as a part of some social group that takes their own lives. It's sad to see kids seeking attention in this light. +This article talks about pouching in Africa. It's really sad hearing about the rhinos. We need to protect these animals. These animals are more important that the people poaching them. Those poachers deserve to die; they are horrible people and they are destroying a unique species. This is a terrible thing. They desperately need to protect these poor rhinoes from people. +Crushed to death by a machine that makes recycled plastics into pellets? Really? What a terrible way to die. My guess is that standard operating procedure does not include crawling inside the machine to unclog it. I understand that it is a tragedy, but geez, at some point people have to be held accountable for their own actions. I'm sure there will be a lawsuit, probably a hefty one, but I hope they lose. There doesn't seem to be any reason the company should be held accountable for his actions unless there was a malfunction of the overall systems. I'm trying not to picture it in my mind. Yikes! +I remember how hard I was to my mother especially in my teens.It can be rough and now I see that instead of how it use to be.As a kid you always think that you know what is best that you are number one.You don't really think about other people and their feelings and you tend to rebel and jsut be this horrible version of yourself. +This article about post-traumatic stress disorder is disturbing on many levels. This country really doesn't take care of our veterans. Not to mention the fact that Vietnam and Iraq were unnecessary wars in the first place. I worry we're headed for another war, and with the VA in the state that it's in, how can they possibly care for more war veterans? They can't meet the needs of the ones who already need help. It's heartbreaking to imagine these soldiers re-experiencing the war over and over again. However, I am glad to hear that there is help for people who have PTSD. I remember when we were kids and first hearing about PTSD in Vietnam vets, it was thought that no one ever recovered from it. Healing is possible, but the vets have to find the right people to help them. +This is a perfect example of why we need cameras everywhere. They have this guy on video doing all the bad things he would do. There is no way anyone can make any excuses for him now. They will surely try, though. BLM will probably come up with some story about how he was an upstanding citizen or something we have already heard before. +This article is just awful. Boko Haram is an extremist group that needs to be stopped by any means necessary. The fact of the matter is these people are using religion as an excuse to rape and kill woman and children, and thats one of the most unmoral and unethical things I can think of. These poor women and children are not only kidnapped and drugged, but they are also dealing with being raped and having their loved ones killed. This is an awful and tragic issue, and this is something that needs to be shown throughout the entire world that these people are bad and need to be stopped. +its very sad that Sally Jessy Raphael Said that She Was ‘Betrayed’ By Talk Show Producers When Sally Jessy Raphael’s self-titled talk show aired in the ‘80s and ‘90s, it found success as a topic-driven program with relatively relatable stories. But by its end, Raphael tells “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” that her series had devolved into a show of salacious content and tabloid fodder like some of her talk-show peers, and she was not happy about it this makes a bad ending +I know that the affordable care act will effect alot of people out there who are already struggling but this is an issue that just sounds wrong to me. First because so many women that I know who have gotten and IUD had complications and second because the issue of women being able to choose to have an abortion is a bitter conversation to me. +Before social media, you had to pay to get out information about your business. Now, every person and company is its own media brand - and there are significantly less barriers to reaching people.his has allowed smaller brands to gain a foothold in the market much easier. When we see trends like craft beer, food trucks, and local fashion, that is often the result of harnessing social media platforms to build a following in a cost effective way. Prior to smartphones and social adoption, it was much more difficult (and expensive) to reach people, especially if your location wasn’t on a main street. One or two small businesses isn’t enough to worry a big brand, but millions of them around the country can make a serious dent in their market shar +It's about time! I really support them doing this petition. I hope that they take it seriously and are able to liberate the Saudi women who have been oppressed for so long. You would never see that kind of ownership/guardianship system in places like the United States. Maybe feminism really is sparking change around the world. +The reason why they're killing people over there is because the Allied Forces are occupying their country. If only we would keep our nose out of others' business, then maybe, just maybe the world would become a better place. But as with all empires (and America is no different ), they eventually fall because of internal forces. +I just read this article about a really bad accident that happened at a water park. Apparently, the ride malfunctioned and threw some kids from the ride and the parents were stuck in the raft and they were stuck underwater and were hitting the machinery below. Everyone kept talking about how horrific it was and what a terrible tragedy it was. I feel really bad for these people and it really makes you wonder if you should go to a park ever again. You're suppose to have fun at these places but you never really ever think about actually getting hurt when you get on these rides. Those poor people, they just wanted to have a nice afternoon and it just ended so badly. +Three quarters of a year after the Zika outbreak was declared a global health emergency, the virus has infected almost seven hundred thousand men and women across Latin America. One estimate in the tens of thousands represents the number of infected expecting mothers. This is feared to result in fetal deformities. +Religion should be a freedom of choice. Some people are Christians and some are Muslims or Islamic. This makes me sad Christians chose a different religion so why should the Islams brutalize them and hurt them? That is cruelty and one of the reasons why there will always be war in those countries. I don't think I would ever want to visit those places, I would be very scared. They target Christians and kill priests. These people are heartless, forcing these people out of their home. +I just don't understand Russia. I mean they seem to be a country that is civilized, right? How is it that they so openly support terrorism? I just don't understand how they stand with Syria and are OK with all of the horrible things that are happening there. I think if Russia actually stood up for what is right, the world would be a much better place. +Man, they are ruining the giraffe habitat of the Rothschild giraffe. It kind of sucks, but what can you do? All we do as humans is destroy nature anyway, and when it comes right down to it, I'm sick of hearing about "This endangered species, That endangered species." It is near nauseating to hear people continually express concern over things we cannot even change. The habitats are going to be destroyed, animals are going to die - so what? As humans, we are a plague on the earth, but pretending that is going to change any time soon is silly and fool-hearted. I wish people would stop pretending to be concerned over things that they ultimately have almost no influence on, anyway. +Ya know a lot of people hate the Jews. Yet we both know lots of Jews and I like most of them. To me it doesn't really matter as I never even thought about someone being a Jew until I got older. People are people. Jews are smart. Jews have always been smart at least for generations. Smart people make money and are good at business. Just the way it goes. Jew, Jew Jew, I'm sick of all of the Jew hate. OTOH people have a legitimate concern to fear that Trump being elected will cause problems like WW2 did. After all Jews tend to be Republican and likely donated a ton of money to Trump and they are more powerful today than they ever were. Still whatever, it doesn't affect us. +I had no idea Shannen Doherty was going through breast cancer. It is such a tough situation to experience. Cancer really does humble the soul into new places that one never thought possible to emerge stronger from feeling. It sounds like she faced it with a mask of strength at first. After time, the real emotions came through where she realized the strength was not in being stoic but admitting how tough it really is to experience. It is through supposed weakness that we become stronger. +Man its really upset that we cant have a peaceful protest. Why cant we just voice our opinion in a peaceful way. Why does it always have to start and end with violence. Why do that have to destroy businesses that had nothing to do with the protest. Totally sucks for people who are just trying to live their lives peacefully. +hopefully you did not go through much reading this particular messade unfortuanetly this happens everyday and people throw vbnlind eyes tro the situation because no one wants to deal with this kind ofstuff but i am presenting this tuff to you so you guys can acknowldge it and be awareof it and be a little more bit educated about stuff liek this and so on +I just read an article about famed basketball star, Scottie Pippen. Someone thought it was new worthy to make the world aware that he and his wife got into a screaming match and she was afraid. The truth is, no one but their family knows what's really going on. His wife could be a very dramatic person. She could be giving him a hard time. While domestic violence and emotional abuse should never be tolerated, we should leave people to deal with their own screaming matches. +Terribly sorry for all the families affected by this incident. I confident that the Russians had something to do with this. They interfered with our election too. They are corrupt and shady. This further demonstrates that you can't trust the Russians. I'm so done with them. I'm not sure what needs to be done but I wish Putin disappeared from this Earth. +It's bad that these 2 died, but I have to believe they had to have know the risks involved. I think so many of us, even knowing the risks, think that "it can't happen to me" and do things we shouldn't. It's so sad for their families! I'm not sure what is the right thing to do. Signs are posted, and divers know the risks. But would it be better to permanently close the area? I'm on the fence. +Avoid reading this article. It's so fucking long for saying so little. The author feels the need to go on and on about irrelevant details and it comes off as the ramblings of a skito out on the street corner. It's the same nonsense the media pushes about those poor kids, but doesn't delve into how none of this shit would have happened if people were responsible and didn't make shit choices that are obviously bad. +IT is just sad that someone would think this is an acceptable way to resolve any problem. He clearly needed more help than he was getting and it is unfortunate that it was recognized that he needed help or the mother didn't take steps to leave sooner. I guess in life sometimes you just can't tell what is going to happen or what will set someone off. +These poor birds. We need to start recycling more and making sure our plastics are at least cut up. The beads in the plastic seem to be a good idea to try and detour the birds from eating it. All these simply thing we as humans can be doing to prevent these terrible things from happening. I feel like recycling and people having knowlegde about these plastics and polluting our environment are everywhere for Americans to see.i just kind of wonder the countries that had the highest percent of plastic in their oceans do they educate or inform those countries like america does? Why are those country so much higher then the others what do we need to do to reduce that number? +I had no idea that caffeine powder could cause problems like that! Other than the obviousness of it being caffeine, I wonder if it's any worse than coffee in that way, or if it's just because its usually a hidden product. Also comfrey, I have definitely taken in things before, it's been in menstrual supplements, I didn't know that. I feel like I've seen green tea powder in something as well. +hello friend, how have you been lately, I am somewhat depressed by an article that I read recently, that helped me a lot, that I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this, for example: He did not vaccinate or treat his cattle due to illness; he does not use cowboys to control them and cope; does not manage or control the reproduction +So sad! The middle east just keeps getting worse. I hate what’s happening to these people, but I’m not sure how to solve it. I wish there was a simple, easy fix. However, it seems like every time we try to fix something it just gets worse. It’s such a complex situation with no easy answer. Unfortunately, I don’t see it being solved any time soon. +I can understand being absent minded and concentrating on other things to the point you're so laser focused you forget some small things around you. But how in the hell do you forget your kid is in the backseat of the car, much less come back to the car hours later and still not see the kid in there. It makes no sense, it's hard to believe the guy did it on purpose, but it's hard to believe he didn't remember him twice. Really sad and tragic. +Not that we need to necessarily get ourselves overly involved in the affairs and well-being of other countries, but we should definitely be paying attention to what is going on in the world around us. There is human suffering everywhere and I think that most of the time we are completely oblivious to it, or we don't want to face it. I believe that it is a good thing to be able to realize how cruel human beings can be to one another and to appreciate what we have when we have it and not take things for granted. Considering we could always have it much worse. +I just read an article on the decision this week to dismiss the Kenyan general in charge of the peacekeeping force there. I agree that the restoration of a peace agreement is important and vital in this situation. I hope they can figure it out and the fighting that is happening all over the country can finally end and they can have peace. +The fact that human beings are abusing the planet and each other is evident in this article. It is enough to get you depressed, read this so you can get an idea of how pollution affects third wolrd countries. Instead of going after industries (probably all American) with fines, they rather close schools because of the pollution and smog. Their health is being affected and not only that, the enviroment is being completely abused. +I just read an article about an elementary school volunteer producing child porn with kids as young as NINE. This is absolutely disgusting. How can anyone violate our sweet children like that. He gave out cell phones and used an anonymous social media app to solicit videos and photos of boys and girls performing sexual acts :( I am so perturbed that people are so disgusting. I can promise you if this ever happens to any of my kids they are going to be a very sorry person. +A fire destroyed a family's house. The people escaped and suffered no harm but two of their cats died. As a result of the fire, they are displaced but at least they're alive. At least the Red Cross is helping them out. They might be sad about the pets but I am sure they feel fortunate that no people died in this fire. +This story left me feeling pretty confused. It was so short and didn't provide a lot of answers at all. I was left wondering why France wanted to dismantle the camp and why the refugees were so angry and against the move. What was really going on here? Were there some other issues that had nothing to do with humanitarian considerations? It seems like there's usually more to the story with refugee stories. +I feel very sad for the civilians who are caught in the crossfire. It's sad that people are stuck in the middle of this conflict. I wish there was a peaceful resolution. Both sides should really keep the ceasefire if only to protect the civilians who are caught in the middle. Those people have no control over any of this. +I totally support these protesters. We've had trouble with oil pipelines here in Michigan. I feel like these pipelines are foisted on local communities without any care for whether it is good for the community and without adequate studies as to how safe they are from leaks and pollution. There are more important things in life than money and oil. +Jose Fernandez was a pitcher for the Miami Marlins and unfortunately died in a major boating accident where they rammed a rock. I got to read more into his life and upbringing and it's truly sad to see such a good man fall in such a preventable way. I truly feel for all those who suffered his loss. It's such a sad event and it's stuff like this that makes you be more appreciative of the time you have. +I just read an article about how Billy Bob Thorton felt about his marriage to Angelia Jolie. He expressed that he did not feel good enough to be with her. This was kind of surprising. It made me feel empathic towards him. He stated that he did not like being around rich and important people. This made me feel like he is relatable. I did find it odd that they both wore vials of blood around their necks while they were together. It was a little gross. He even went into detail about how they cut their fingers together to get the blood and then compared it the lockets you can buy and put pictures of your grandmas in. I also did not realize that he is 20 years her junior. I found that to be a little old but I have seen it work. The article also briefly touched on her relationship with Brad. +I just read another article about clashes over in the middle east and I am sending it over to you. This kind of thing has been going on forever ,,, my whole life and I have to admit that I am becoming immune to these types of stories and lost all empathy for these people. Normally you would read a story such as this and be heartbroken for the women and children who lost their lives but there is a story (or 2 or 3 or 10) like this every day and for decades and no end in sight. So just pile up the bodies of the woman and stack up the children murdered. Herd the maimed into a corner and block it all all of your concious. Too much insanity and too much gore to think about so the healthy thing for you do is just ignore these stories since there will a new one or two or ten tommorrow and forever +I cant believe how some countries treat criminals. I agree that they should be punished and face consequences but beating them to death is definitely excessive especially when the crime is not that bad. I'm not sure how that helps the crime rates and I definitely dont think we should consider that method where we come from. +I thought reading an article about iconic moments of women athletes would be quite a bit more interesting and moving than it was. Instead, it was mostly a rattling of championships and medal counts with very few anecdotal pieces of information. The only things that really stood out were the story of the marathon runner and the swimmer because there were interesting stories attached to them. +I'm really confused at why multiple articles were mushed together like this. At first I was perturbed at the first article because I felt like the lady was being ridiculous. She weighs 500 pounds, so obviously a 1200 calorie diet is going to cause her to lose weight, the fact that she can't find a scale to weigh her doesn't matter. You don't need a scale to tell you're losing weight. Measure your body with measuring tape. But then I got to the article about the Mexican students and found it really horrifying. I can't believe the terrible things people do to one another :( +Another presumably liberal leaning teacher has been placed on leave after comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. He claims his statements are all backed by historical facts. I support the school district's decision to suspend him. If statements like this had been made about Barack Obama, it would likely be all over nightly news. +I feel really bad for the woman, Janis Barinsky, this article is writing about. Nobody should have to go through such torture and borderline abuse at their workplace to endure this type of behavior and thoughts. For a company to treat their employees this way and to push them to the verge of suicide is just out right awful. +I did not know much about Cohen before I read the article about his death. I heard the Jeff Buckley song of course because it appears in Shrek. I also think that the Irish girl did a cover of Bird on a Wire that I like. He did a lot of work and was an influence over much of the music scene. It was sad he got ripped off and had to work so hard to re-earn his fortune. It is an informative article and worth a read if you don't know much about him. +I can't believe we live in a world where terrorism—both domestic and foreign—are such a looming threat. Being out in public now more dangerous than ever, and it's all because of the convoluted sociological web of conservative ideology that has promoted domestic terrorism in white heterosexual American masculinity and the xenophobia that inspired Islamic terrorism. There's just too damned much hate in this world, and hopefully more people will find love and nurturing like the author of this book found while writing about her trauma. +This article I just read is incredibly intellectually dishonest. The notion that women were somehow exiled from talking points and inclusion in the Trump campaign is actually nauseating. This kind of narrative is truly what the modern liberal exists upon. It's disgusting. I'm not a Trump fan, but mark my words, this kind of crap will be the reason why he wins in 2020. +Man, car crashes happen all the time. There is no way they can be prevented. I would like to think that the smart cars of the future would help prevent this, but I am not to sure. Somebody could probably hack those and cause massive car wrecks as well. People should also drive safer as well. There is definitely too much speeding. I wonder if drunk driving was the cause of the wreck. That's a huge problem that causes a bunch of wrecks. Don't drink and drive people. +So, in India there's a lot of corruption and the Prime Minister made a promise to stop it. He made a pretty extreme decision to get rid of the two highest denominations of currency in the country, so that people who were hoarding cash and not paying taxes on it would lose out. There was a grace period, but the country was really unprepared for it still. The banks didn't have enough smaller bills to trade to people. The poor weren't able to go to work because they had to stand in line at ATMs. Someone made a really good point that the real money from corruption is stored in Swiss banks. I agree! +Maybe they should evaluate him and figure out why he did what he did so that when he gets released, he's not tempted to do it again. The story really didn't tell why he did it or if he was mentally challenged or anything, it just says that he injured the bird. The bird is a sad case of what a zoo is. Those animals should be in the wild, and not cooped up for people to ooh and aah at them in a park +If you're here illegally, you shouldn't be here. I don't have much sympathy. Sure, if your parents brought you here, you didn't have much choice...but figure out how to be here legally. I don't have much sympathy for people here illegally. There are ways to do things right...and there are rules for a reason. +Its crazy! Over One million children couldn't go to school because the smog was so thick ! they said its like smoking 40 cigerattes a day . That you feel like you are being choked when you walk outside . Could you even imagine ? Parents taking their kids to the docs and them saying get out of the city for a few days and they will be ok . That's just crazy to me . so sad . +I don't know if you've seen this article about the war on cops, but I found it pretty unconvincing. It actually made me a bit angry, because it focuses on police deaths form two years ago and doesn't take into account current figures. Also, by focusing on deaths alone, it completely glosses over injuries to paint a picture that policing is safe in the current climate. It feels a lot like fake news to me. All you have to do is pick up the paper to see how often cops are involved in fights with criminals and crazy people. +This is very sad. I can only imagine how stressful it must be for the people living in the areas threatened by these fires. It must be so stressful knowing that you have to be ready to evacuate any minute and leaving your home and all your belongings behind to possibly never seeing them again. I also feel bad for all the wildlife. +This is such a weird experience and so unexplained. Why are so many people dying in the Med? there are not enough safety measures being put in place so that people can safely enjoy themselves. It is so easy to take someone's money but then you do not give them the safety that they paid for. It's sad and such a shame but honestly, I not at all surprised. +This article about the Philippines mayor is very alarming. It is a shame that so many people resort to corruption and bad deeds. It is also unfortunate that it had to end in casualties. People should really evaluate their behavior and how it impacts others. I would not want to go traveling there if this is how they behave! +I don't really understand the uproar over some birds. Maybe I am being just unsympathetic, or maybe I'm not as understanding as I thought I originally was. To spend all this money, and all this time, to save these birds, seems kind of silly to me. Why don't we focus the funds on something else that actually helps people? +Putting make up on a train, is that just paint? Ha ha. I don't want to make too big a deal about this because it is a different culture and it would be difficult to get the full gist without knowing too much about it. With that said, it's is pretty worrisome, in this country as well, how much people are telling everyone what they should and shouldn't be doing. Live and let live is still the best way to go about things and comparing putting on make up on a train to pooping on the train is pretty ridiculous by any standard. +I think that people try to pin a lot of stuff on trump as far as sexism goes, but it doesn't really matter. if people want trump out of office then they need to find something else to pin on him. He tampered with the election via the russians, and thats what people need to pin on him. This sexism nonsense isn't going to go anywhere +I think the short of it really is that the racists won the election. It is incredibly sad that such a seemingly easy to win election against someone who is openly calling groups of racist things, and actually encouraging hate and chaos, was lost. The democrats are right to be taking a long look at how they do things, they've always been the party that is "we're like the republicans, but you won't gag as much voting for us." I think the average person who cares about politics, and is liberal, got a shocking wake up call this time around, and we're going to see people turn out in incredible numbers to vote. +Boy I can't ever imagine being in a fire like these people. First Your scared about just trying to get out. Then your looking out for your neighbors and their pets. Man just tragic really tough. Now they have to find somewhere to stay. Just turns your life upside down. Paperwork keepsakes so hard to get over. Even if your not hurt it must affect you for the rest of your life. +Hello, how are you doing meN? Remember that chat we had a week ago about Haiti? I was just reading an article about it, never thought things could have been so bad, they are even worse than what I imagine worst than what we talked about. I find it funny how we are so enclosed in our small little world, while in Chicago we are celebrating about CUBS victory in over 100 years, in Haiti, they are suffering for water and food. +These people were guests who were presumably staying illegally at this camp. They were allowed to stay there out of compassion , I'm assuming. Then, when they're told that something else has to be figured out, they lose it. When you give a group something, even if it doesn't belong to them and even if you're being kind my doing it, they immediately feel like it belongs to them and will react strongly if you try to take it away. +While reading this article all I could think of is how much of a shame and alarming it is of the recent shootings that have been taking place all over the USA. I know we have talked about guns and ownership in the past, but I'm starting to think it is important to look at what we can do to stop these acts and how we can make a change ourselves. I also was surprised that they did not try to take the story and flip it into being some type of political debate about how the shooter was made about politics or a race war. +Can you believe how disturbed some people are? I just read an article about a woman whose parents forced her to have sex with both of them when she was 11. They did it for money. If you are a parent struggling for money, how in the world does your mind turn to sexually abusing your child for money? They are sick, and 20 years is not enough time for them in prison. They are the people that are supposed to protect her, and they violated her in the worst way. She is very brave for telling her story and for just being a survivor. +I had no earthly idea wearing contact lenses required this amount of discipline in order to avoid potential problems. I would much prefer to stick with glasses. What particularly concerns me is the potential for scarring on the cornea and any possible loss of visual acuity. Frankly, I don't like the idea of sticking something in my eye to begin with, and this has turned me off from contact lenses forever. +I don't see how things are still happening like this in this point in time. We can not let this continue. It really makes me sad and fell fortunate for what I have. It is insane that people still act like this. Maybe we should send some help over there but it might not be a good idea to get involved and could cause worse problems. +I blame this on the neo-liberal policies of Barack Obama. He made a lot of hope and change promises and delivered nothing. After 8 years peoples lives haven't gotten better. Having a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is ridiculous. The mainstream media carries a lot of this blame as well for not informing the public about issues and only reporting sensationalism garbage. +Oh my gosh this is so awful. I feel so bad for this man and his family, as well as the mother of the child. Could you imagine getting hurt, nearly being rescued, and then the helicopter failing too? Talk about terrible luck. I hope they start a gofundme for this man and his family - we should all donate if they do. +Natural disasters like these are just so scary. They could literally happen at anytime and no one ever knows when, especially earthquakes. It is sad to see such historic buildings and areas be destroyed by this event. It is even more sad knowing that people got injured. Some things just aren't fair in life and you never see it coming. +Hello, I will tell you something, an article I read recently, said that millions of Nigerians survived Boko Haram, but now a humanitarian catastrophe is putting their lives at risk again, wise about this information I think it is more important information than it seems be, I would consider that it is a news that should happen even by television +Toughie, the world's last Rabbs' fringe-limbed tree frog and a symbol of the extinction crisis, has died at his home in the Atlanta Botanical Garden.The famed frog's age is unknown, but he's at least 12 years old, and likely older, because he was an adult when collected in 2005.Mark Mandica, who worked with Toughie for seven years, says the frog's story isn't entirely unique. “A lot of attention had been paid to him in captivity, so he even has his own Wikipedia page,” Mandica, head of the Amphibian Foundation, notes. “But there are plenty of other species out there that are disappearing, sometimes before we even knew that they were there.”In fact, Toughie's own species (Ecnomiohyla rabborum) wasn't described until 2008, +I feel bad for the kid that fell into the gorilla enclosure and Harambe, the meme king of 2016. It sucks that they had to shoot the gorilla, but it didn't know what it was doing to hurt the kid and it seemed like there was no choice but to kill him. It must have been an awful downer for the zoo visitors who expected to have a relaxing and fun day of leisure. In my opinion the zoo should have given the visitors present at the shooting a coupon for a future visit or something like that to ease the downer. +the state in Syria is bad. the Syrian conflation has a medical source in rebel-held Aleppo told the AFP news agency that a shortage of blood meant hospitals were struggling to deal with the huge number of casualties caused by air strikes over the past four days. There was also no water supply in many areas after pumping stations were damaged at the weekend, and several charity kitchens were forced to close because of the violence. +This story is pretty weird and I wonder why they suffered heart attacks or whatever it was in the water. If they had pre existing medical conditions, would they have known it would be a bad idea to snorkel? There should be more precautions in place to make sure people are able to snorkel before they go ahead and do it. +This article was just ridiculous to me, I see the need to be protesting and freedom of speech and rights but we as people need to do peaceful protest not using armed militias to stand off on a protest. That is going against the very fundamentals of what liberals stand for. I think the group should have had some repercussions to what they did. +Wow. Let me get this straight: The German Consulate are "invaders" but all of the Middle East and North Africa pouring into Europe like the Camp of the Saints is "refugees" and if we complain about it, we're racists. Here's an idea: All Muslims, Arabs, and whatever else we're not supposed to notice this week can go back to the Middle East, and then our "invading" consulates and embassies will be HAPPY to go back to where we came from. Never speak to us again. Ugh. "The Taliban....." Yeah, no, the word you're looking for here is MUSLIMS. The MUSLIMS are the problem, not the Taliban. +Yay, bigots! I know that bigots are not a particularly new species, but I used to think, just a few years ago, that things were much better and that people were generally becoming more open-minded and welcoming. But the election of our new president signals something very different. And very much encourages the bigots to spread their wings and parade proudly. They are being empowered right now, and that is very disturbing. +Wow, just wow. I think that the possibility of nominating this judge for the Supreme Court really needs to be reexamined closely in that this nomination could cause bigger problems and chaos across the country. There would be heavy debates and fights from both sides and in the end, there unfortunately would be no progress. +Who knew that a typhoon hitting two countries would be less disturbing that articles about trees and dust. Our compassion is ruled by numbers and when two people die a storm we yawn. But show us dead trees for tell us we are breathing residue for a toilet cleaner and we freeze with panic. Perspective is a hard thing to find sometimes. +in Spain this was the Deadly Train Crash killed at least four people and injured nearly 50 others after it derailed in the northwest region of the country.Photos of the wreck showed the train’s carriage flipped on its side and smashed from where it likely hit part of a bridge near the tracks.A witness woman told Spanish television about hearing a "very strong bang" before seeing billowing black smoke. +I have a lot of sympathy for everyone worried about the Trump administration. I get it. They're not wrong to be worried. I think the author of this article misidentifies the source of the problem, though. It's not Trump. Trump himself isn't why we're in this situation. It's the people and institutions who supported him and the people and institutions who were ineffective at combating him that deserve the lion's share of the blame. +It's a shame how the government can't get this under control. As I've always said, Flint isn't the only city with these problems. The worst part about the localities that disregard the lead levels is that either they are fabricating the test results or not being fined at all. I just don't see that things are going to get any better under Pruitt ( he really needs to resign). I just can't see the EPA fining or shutting down water systems that are non compliant. I am terribly worried, not only for the children of Flint, but for All the children who are still drinking water with high lead levels. +This article brings back to mind the overall mass hysteria that the left, centrists, and neocons feel when they think about Trump. I'm not a Trump supporter, but I honestly believe people are truly delusional at this point. It has become vomit inducing. Liberals should be more pissed at the DNC for crapping on Bernie. Neocons should just admit to being big government centrists so we can all move on. +I am one for not giving your potential mate any reasonable doubt. For example if Tanaka (Mariah Carey's backup dancer) made her fiance uncomfortable he should have been axed in the beginning of the relationship. I also do not think it supports security all the time either. I think that if you value that mate there should definitely be sacrifices made in regards with relationships. +It's a shame that there are so many refugees in the world but when does it stop becoming my responsibility. I understand that conditions around the world are not ideal for everyone. However, if we just let everyone start coming here who has a problem in the world we begin to lose a sense of who we are and what made us have the country that is stable. I don't want to sacrifice my nation completely over the fact that I'm sorry the place you live sucks and is run by morons. +This article about the murder/suicide of this couple just further proves that people who commit acts of murder are usually mentally disturbed. They will harm someone and themselves with or without access to a gun. This murder/suicide was clearly not done by a gun. There are so many situations where a murderer will kill themselves after they have harmed someone else, proving that they are very disturbed and they should have received help of some sort. This will prevent them from harming innocent people along with themselves. +A moron Arkansas cop left her police dog in the patrol car in the middle of summer and the poor thing died. She's on administrative leave while the incident is being investigated. What's to investigate? The dog didn't lock itself in the car. She should at least be immediately fired for being too stupid to be a cop. +So I think I just read the most interesting article to date ever published. A girl ran into a police officer with her car, while taking a nude topless selfie to send to her boyfriend. Feel a little bad for her, even though she should not be doing this, especially with a glass of wine in her cup holder haha. Guessing she was drunk, which is the main crime here. She had a bond of 2000 dollars I believe. I kind of want her to be freed haha. +I hate that tourism and economy end up hurting our animal's habitats! People are so selfish while traveling, and they do not think of how their actions will effect the wildlife in the area. Please remember to clean up your trash, do not litter, and do not leave items out that will potentially hurt animals when you are visiting an area. Countries need to spend more time and effort on saving natural areas for wildlife. +After reading that article on the Arctic Ice, I feel that maybe we should get together and do something. Maybe find an organization to donate time and money too. I don't know, but it is scary that the ice is not rebounding. I am not sure what will happen in the future, but if we can try to get people aware now of their carbon footprint, maybe, just maybe we can make a small impact on the ice melting. I know the Earth goes through cycles, but I am sure that humans have greatly impacted the amount of thawing way more than normal cycles. It is as if humans are a parasite. We are like a chronic inflammation to the Earth. It's getting scary out there and we have no other planet to go to in this vast universe. We can't mess up the one we have. +It seem like we have enters the day where people are more sensitive to political issues that ever before. Although people may not agree with the current administration under Trump they can not falt or blame other for their personal beliefs. It is especially a shame when a mom will kick out their own child for mock voting is a manner that she find unfitting. +There has got to be a better solution that we can all come up with to make sure that these deaths are stopped or at least decreased. I understand making sure that the elephants are safe, but people should take priority as well. There are people fearing for their lives. What can their country do about it, and if their country can't, when will another country come in and offer their assistance? +It seems like the air pollution in India is getting worse and this is especially troubling for children who are very susceptible to the open air. This is very alarming as just recently 1,800 school had been close in India because of the poor air quality. It seem that these particle from the smog and fireworks are so tiny that they can make there way in the small pockets of the lungs. +This article was so sad. I guess ISIS had killed many people recently in israel. They were very rude about it and many people were at high tension worried they had bombs or traps set up as they were recovering and looking for more bodies. They said the people of ISIS just dumped there bodies as if they were trash. +sexual assault is the major problem in the country there were many cases first , second and third degree reported.the recent story of the UW-Madison student who was charged in alleged attacks on 5 women —sexual assault against a University of Wisconsin student led to multiple charges based on claims from five women. combined with the viral nature of social media, has resulted in modern-day character assassination that is very real and very wrong." How to help survivors of sexual assault might be spread over the media or the other sort +hey friend,you should read about the article i just read . The world is just full of problems.I just pity the way some animals suffer in this world especially in war zone areas like Gaza,Libya Syria.I just wish I could do something about it because serious attention is needed in those zoos.If only I had powers I could do something about the protection of this animals. +I've given up my faith in humanity. There are just certain events that transpire that make you shudder to the core. After reading multiple articles today about just how shitty people can be to one another, it makes me beyond happy to know the individuals that are in my own personal life. Human greed knows no bounds. Human ego needs to be set aside and/or destroyed. +Kesha the singer opened up about how she was treated in the music industry...it's so crazy how time after time these pop stars, rappers an singers come out with these stories about how they got cheated, or that they find out that their manager had been stealing from them for years, or giving them advice that doesn't actually serve the artist. The problem is that a lot of these artists go into the music industry naive and desperate and just take whatever hey can get...whatever del, just to get their foot in the door but just end up getting screwed, +I just read that Kevin Meaney, a standup comedian and actor has died. Although I don’t remember him very well, according to the article I read he was a celebrity of some notoriety in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Mr. Meaney was in the CBS sitcom "Uncle Buck," it was only on for one season in 1990, and he made an appearance on an episode of "Saturday Night Live. He was on the Johnny Carson show, too, which was the top-rated late night talk show for decades. I really miss all the bright comedic talents that launched their careers on the Carson show. So many of these great comedians of the past have inspired budding comic talents of today. They will be missed! +middle east is fucked up, I've honestly never heard of a middle east country such as Afganistan deporting people, the mention of it just sound funny, who the heck would want to stay in that shit hole country that has been infested with terrorists and child rapists? Perhaps those refugees are out of choice, honestly they should come to a better country such as U.S. or U.K, even though those 2 countries have their own policies regarding immigration, but I think they're quite tolerate to people from war torn countries +Did you hear about Jose Fernandez? He just died in a boating accident. He was only 24 years old! It's just so shocking and sad. What a waste! He was with two other men too, all in their twenties. Hose had overcome so much adversity. when he was a child in Cuba, he would only make $4 a day selling tomatoes and onions. It's such a shame to lose such a great man and great ball player. +It's scary to think that even somebody who is as well known and guarded as Kim Kardashian can still be the victim of crimes like this. It's got to be disheartening to be Kim and know you've spent (most likely) a lot of money to have security with you at all times to protect you from things like this, yet it still happens to you. You'd have to wonder just how much more one can do to protect themselves. +I feel so bad for that innocent customer. This is something that is unfortunate and a random freak incident. All over a declined card this man got so upset that he had to take it out on other people. It is shocking to me that some people can have so much anger in them to do something like that. That person that was shot was just going there on a normal day to get coffee and now his loved ones can't see him no more all because someone got worked up over a declined card. I guess we need to have security every where nowadays it seems. No place is safe to go. You can't even go to the coffee shop without worrying someone is going to pull out a gun at you. +What I learned from my experience is that most modern factories, even the ones in thirds world countries, will try to make their employees reasonably comfortable and safe. Not because their super-altruistic but because it helps with productivity. A happy, rested, relaxed worker does better work and more of it than an exhausted, stressed out one. it's unfortunate that this guy died the way they did ono the job like that. +Did you hear about that bus crash that happened in Delaware. It was very sad, also I read that 2 people were injured. I hope these people can recover fully from their injuries and go on to lead fulfilling lives. Hopefully something like this will never ever happen again and measures are taken to prevent it. +Did you hear about the earthquake in Tanzania? There were over 200 deaths. It's so scary because you can't really prepare for something like that. I live in California so people are always warning us about the san andres fault line. I get so worried thinking about how bad it might get if something like that happens to us. +I am upset and disturbed about the result of the investigation on the article. It also saddens me to know that the families involved in the missing of those students are still hoping to see their family member even after years of waiting. This article reminds me that no matter how long the case, the family will always wait for them to hug those missing students. +This story makes me sad that a hard-working family member can suffer in this way. Life can be pretty cruel. On the bright side, with advancing computer and health sciences, the future does have some light at the end of the tunnel. I think it's probably helpful to try to focus a bit on the positive. My political views are different from most. I find myself disagreeing with many Republican and Democrat stances. I'm in favor of universal healthcare, basic income, and access to assisted suicide (rational suicide, access to drugs like Nembutal for anyone who thinks they might want to make the rational decision not to live, and instead die in a humane way). +This story upsets me. I can't seem to get it out of my head that the victim was a child even though there's conflicting comments. But to die because you stole porridge seems insane. I guess I can't put myself in that situation where maybe porridge is hard to come by but just knowing that someone died for that seems petty to me. +Another Taliban attack in Afghanistan today, this time directed against the Germans. A few dead and many wounded, primarily women and children. They said it was in retaliation against US air strikes that have cause a lot of civilian casualties. An endless cycle, just like before. Remind me again why we're there. +Life is a dangerous thing. People are suffering from natural and man-made disasters. There is a huge number of deaths due to hazing in Indonesia. All driven by over-industrialisation and hunger of profits. Governments and scientists should do more to prevent these kinds of deaths: at least to have certain warning systems installed. Also, natural disasters such as hails and typhoons can wreck a havoc in peoples’ lives. Now I have second thoughts about traveling to South Pasific islands. They are gorgeous but dangerous. +I think that its really sad that forests are getting wiped out through causes of diseases and invasive species of bugs. It really should be are main priority as humans to preserve the environment the Earth has provided to us before its to late. It up to us as the younger generation to reverse decades of environmental abuse so that future generations are able to enjoy nature such as hiking through a beautiful forest. +the article is touching its great about Ebeid families who flee to other countries, are forced to leave them behind.” In another neighborhood of eastern Aleppo, 83-year-old Reema Salama lives alone in the home where she raised her children and his wife, who suffers from high blood pressure and rheumatism. Marea has received unexpected help from another son, Hameed, who was visiting from Turkey and became trapped in the city when the government imposed its siege several weeks ago +There is a particularly rough situation with the United States, Russia, and Syria right now. The United States is receiving conflicting intelligence about attacks and conspiracies. There is a need for cooperation but diplomatic intensity is very important. Russia seems to be keeping its intelligence under wraps while Syria is in a power deluge. +There was another gunman attacking random people in Houston. I think it's so scary and disgusting. Mental health these days seem to be at a all time low and it's showing left and right. We need to do something about people who don't act like humans anymore. They lose all empathy for others and just want to end their life in a cowardly way. +It's interesting that so many people would have this reaction to the election. Sure, there's a lot of negative stuff surrounding the election and the president...but a lot of it is rhetoric and media. It doesn't seem as relevant on a local level. I guess it would depend on where you live...maybe I'm too isolated to understand. +Did you hear about this sexual harassment scandal involving the National Parks Service? I guess there really is no industry that is immune to this misbehavior. Incidents have been documenting going back decades but nothing was done about it. It's really outrageous what people in power can get away with. +Awful news article. Us as a society need to do a better job of protecting and helping not only our planet, but the animals and mammals that surround it. The fact that almost 100 percent of the caimans are suspected to be dead is alarming and people should be more informed on such matters. The rate of extinction that these animals and mammals are going through on our planet is extremely alarming and I can not figure out why people aren't more concerned or even aware of the matter. We need to do a better job of protecting ALL living matter on this planet, not just ourselves. +So the FBI seems to fail at preventing serious terrorist attacks when they knowingly had a suspect. Their investigations obviously are not thorough enough to always prevent attacks even whey they are forewarned about a specific person. The nightclub attack in Orlando seems like it could have been prevented if the FBI did their job. They had warnings from the killers family and basically a warning from the terrorist himself. With extremist like this guy, when they already had him once, I think more severe tactics are necessary to protect the country and its citizens. I feel like the FBI is just making excuses because they were incompetent and do not seem to take everything as serious as they need too. Our country deserves that! +I remember this going on. I knew someone who considered this option. It's a shame that women have to think like this, about birth control meant to outlast a political regime. Trump and Pence are reprehensible, but at least it hasn't come to pass - not that they wouldn't salivate at the opportunity to attack women's health like this, we've just been lucky so far that they haven't got their way. It bothers me how these guys think. +Garden ponds 'playing role' in frog disease spread — Garden ponds are playing a role in the spread of deadly frog diseases across the UK, a study suggests. Ranaviruses can infect amphibians, reptiles and fish. In the UK, they have devastated common frog populations. This research suggests that the introduction of infected animals from aquatic retailers into ponds or moving species between different ponds may be exacerbating the problem. +From this article I read 82 percent of ecosystems are being impacted by climate change. Whats interesting about this is the environment and the species in these ecosystems are going through morphological changes. Sometimes we get this idea that climate change will eradicate all life from the Earth but it seems that we will be able to adapt to it to a certain extent. By no means am I say we shouldn't make changes to solve climate change but it is interesting to seem how life is adapting to the changes. +Hello Jane, how have you been, I want to vent out an article I read and is very heart breaking. A few families lost their loved one in a ride at the Dreamworld theme park in Queensland, Australia. They were thrown off the ride into the water. It is a very sad story and it will be investigated, also the Dream world CEO has created a memorial at the park with 500 staff to attend, which is very kind. +So two sisters were on vacation and both died. Apparently fluid in the lungs but one had fluid in the brain or something like that. So sad for the family. The government where they were at is not giving the family much info if any at all. It is just weird how two sisters both died at the same place and by fluid in the lungs or brain. +I wonder if I recognize this guy. I haven't heard of him up until now. He was just a little before our time, although I'm sure he had an impact on many of the people we know. It seems like he influenced many other comedians that I know. I plan on looking up his work to see what is out there of him. +Big businesses should really be held accountable for where the bailouts they receive really go. Yet the government don't really enforce any rules. Just here is money and trust them to use it as it was intended for them. We really should stop corporate lobbying in Congress. Look at these people using the bailout money just for luxury. I am outraged! +I don't like the fact that environmental concerns are still a large part of our world in which we live but I believe the higher power controls this and that will keep us from ever completely overcoming these issues. It makes me upset to know Native American tribes are being affected by drought to the point of possibly ceasing to exist. I have Native American heritage and feel that this population should be cared for by our government before segments of third world countries. I don't like the fact that air pollution is a problem or a salty lake is drying up in Iran but I understand our environment is controlled by God. We, as a nation, choose our battles sometimes based on the wrong things. Taking care of the Native American tribesman should be a HUGE priority! +I recently read an article about how the band Eagles of Death Metal visited the Paris attacks memorial. A year before they were playing at a concert hall when the attacks occured a year prior. Sting was the first person to play at he concert hall since the attacks. The front man of the Eagles of Death Metal was denied access to the event. He had told Fox news that the muslim security collaborated with the attackers at the concert hall. +I wish there was something more that I could do. This is getting out of hand, but it's kind of far away geographically from us. There needs to be something the international community can do. Farmers everywhere are killing pests and animals that interfere with their farms, but elephants are completely different from pests. They are extremely smart and are just hungry. I honestly wonder if we should come up with a plan to feed them, and this might sound crazy, but try to study elephants and come up with some way to communicate abstract ideas with them. +There are three sides to every story: the one individual's side, the other party's side, and the truth. I'm not justifying that what the airlines did was right, but I believe there is much more to the story than what was reported. Granted, privacy issues come into play and not everything can be revealed; however, I take the complaints with a grain of salt. +I just don't know how they could do this to that poor girl. After everything she has been through. I really feel for her. I understand what she might be going through. It is a shame to have this happen after all this time. I really hope that someone will be able to help her.I feel really bad about what is being done. I am worried about what might happen if she doesn't get any help. They really should just let her go. +Oh my goodness, check out this article. Very interesting but also very sad. Poor guy was just trying to do his job. This sounds like a terrible way to die. If nothing else maybe some new and improved safety measures will be put in place to protect the next person who has this same recycling job.I hope his family gets an attorney and tries to get some sort of money for his untimely death. +I am very concerned about the spread of Zika. I think in many cases the federal government takes it too likely. What price is too expensive for the health and safety of our citizens, especially our most vulnerable ones. Given the advance warning we’ve had about the dangers and progression of Zika, it is shameful the lack of progress that has been made globally. +I think we need to remember a few important things, psychologists and psychiatrists have very hard times. Sometimes the people they are sent to treat are manipulative to a point they have fooled family, friends and professionals for years. We also have to acknowledge those with underlying mental health issues who may have been taken advantage of and used by criminal organizations. +What I have learned from this is that obesity is a silent killer. In most of the cases, by the time one realizes that they under the clutch of Obesity and it’s already too late for them. Some prominent signs of obesity are- lack of flexibility in body, high blood pressure, development of cardiac issues and respiratory disorder. But a question that continues to bother the patients is what caused Obesity in them. +What an awful tragedy no family should be subjected to this. This is really getting out of hand i cant believe the middle east still has so much turmoil. its really ridiculous. i hope our boys can help calm the situation and keep things safer than they are now. its just insane how much a person must be delusional to go through with these actions +I wish more people would donate food that's still good instead of throwing it away. There's so many people who gladly take anything to eat and there's people just throwing out perfectly good food. There should be some way to easily take food or even have someone come pick it up and then the food can go to needy starving people. +Another example of the Government disregard for the Indian people who lived here before we ever arrived. Sad in this day and age they are just trying to protect their land. Stop the potential for environmental damage to the land where they have lived for thousands of years. Don't we learn anything from history. How can they shot and harm these people just protecting their land and way of life. +Sure glad I live in Minnesota and not Chicago. I hear the latest problem is lead in the water. Now they are shutting down all the outdoor fountains. One reason is to protect the homelsss. LOL who are they kidding. Like anyone actually cares about the homeless. We have this pompous rich guy Donald Trump cutting peoples SNAP on 2019 while at the same time cities are worrying about lead in the water to protect the homeless. It's all really annoying. Granted I agree lead is bad but then again some Govt. clown probably needs to do something to justify the 6 figure income they make. +I am not sure what to think. I would be happy to be alive. I would like to know if they knew what the sea would be like as the sea is VERY unpredictable and I doubt they wanted to kill themselves too. I think it's a tragedy and no one is at fault. It is just one of those things that happens. Some things and tragedies are unforeseeable. +he mayor was on Duterte's list of local officials branded as "narco-politicians" who allegedly have ties to the illegal drug world, according to CNN affiliate CNN Philippines. He, along with his wife, surrendered themselves to provincial police in August to clear their names and deny involvement. At the roadblock early Friday morning, an "armed encounter" between Dimaukom's men and police ensued, the report says, with law enforcement officials responding to fire from the mayor's bodyguards, leaving 10 men dead. Duterte was elected to office in May on a platform of a hardline crackdown on crime, particularly illegal drugs. Since taking office in early June, his police force has waged a bloody war on drug dealers and users, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Filipino drug suspects at the +I feel bad for the migrants who died when the ship which was carrying them sunk. Especially the young ones. Kids shouldn't have to die like this just trying to take a risk to improve their lives. I am touched by the state of the tiger population. They should never be raised and kept in this fashion. They deserve to be free. On top of this rare species should always be protected. +I have pretty strong thoughts and feelings about this. From what I read, I feel like that is a very tragic situation. Us as a society, we are taking advantage of the trees we have here. In order to protect the environment and make the environment better again, we need to take care of it. What we are doing, in my opinion, is morally and ethnically wrong and we need to do a better job of taking care of nature. I understand that some blame is from the volcanoes of hawaii, but feel like us humans do way more damage than what mother nature brings. +Wow, did you guys hear anything about this? It would be cool if men could take birth control as well. Not just to relieve the burden from women, but for men to have their own sexual freedom as well. Condoms are really the only thing they have control over, and they're known to fail more often than any form of birth control. +It's sad the train wreck cost 4 people their lives. One can only hope none of the injured are critical. It would be great if they could find the cause of the accident. If they don't, who's to say it won't happen again? The statistics could be even worse next time. Wish this could have been prevented. +This currency ban is a bold and brave step for the Minister. it is a bitter bill to swallow at the beginning as can be evidenced by the poor Indian population even missing work to line up at ATMs to get cash. but it the long run it will be beneficial in abolishing corruption. surprise ban on most currency in circulation in India, a bold attack on corruption that crippled business at stores and markets around the country as millions scrambled for cash to meet even basic needs +There was just a 5.0 earthquake in Oklahoma. Fortunately, no one was badly injured. I didn't even know they had earthquakes there. It must be very scary to have to go through one of those. I'm glad we don't have them here. We used to have drills at school, in the event of an earthquake, but that just seems like a waste of time. I've never even been through one. +This article highlights the fact that although we may have profound faith in the goodness of human nature, we never know when a killer is walking among us. The recent spate of mass shootings at schools and other locations underline the presence of disturbed people in our midst. Besides defending ourselves, we need to ask ourselves what in our society is provoking this disturbing behavior. Certainly the ubiquity and ease of acquiring guns is one cause, but there may be others that need attention as well. +There has been unrest over the disputed region of Kshmir between Packistan and India. It looks as though there were 13 civilians killed during this latest skirmish. It's pathetic to see so many innocent people being killed for no reason over this disputed land. Already there have been two wars fought between these two countries. I hope they can reach a peaceful settlemnt but since this has been ongoing for over 70 years I highly doubt that this will actually happen. +I am really saddened by what is happening in Brazil. I can't stand that this type of damage is happening in nature. We as citizens of the world really have to step up our efforts so that it doesn't happen more often. We should little by little try to reverse the damage that has been done for better good. +New data shows airline discrimination complaints jumped 37 percent — The Transportation Department is making more data available about complaints of racial, ethnic and religious discrimination filed against the airlines, the agency said Tuesday. The department said it was releasing the data to the public in an attempt to be more transparent about such complaints and how they are handled. +I think the robbers probably knew that jewelry would be harder to get away with because in order to make money selling it, they could be tracked and found out that they were her pieces. It makes more sense to steal money and they probably thought she would have a lot considering she is a huge celebrity. They must not have bothered to think that she probably wouldn't have cash. I feel bad that she went through that. +Terrorism has become so commonplace that it does not even alarm me anymore. It is simply just another day in the world that we have come to live in. No one really wants to address the reasons that drive people to terrorism, so I guess we will just continue to let the media sensationalize death and complain about it the next day. +This is really scary. I don't think I would want to have my life in the hands of someone else like on this whaling boat. someone's stupid mistakes can really be bad news for everyone trusting that person. I'm not sure If i'd be interested in going out on a boat, whaling, or even a cruise ship after reading this article.Just one wrong move from another person can seal your fate. It must have been so terrifying for these people. I definitely believe all the trauma they say they have endured and I would definitely rule for them in the suits they brought against the plantiff. +After reading the article about Azalia Banks and Russell Crowe, I must say it was rather humiliating. They treated her really bad. I felt compassion for her. I tried to put myself into her shoe and I know I would have broken down and cried. She should have controlled her tongue as well, violence begot violence and a soft answer turns away wrath. Russell is not much of a lady's gentleman he could have dealt with the issue in an amicable manner. Maybe they could just let bygones be bygones and put it behind them. It was rather unfortunate. +ABUJA, Nigeria ― After her father died two years ago during a Boko Haram raid on her village in Yobe, Nigeria, 16-year-old Zulyatu, her younger siblings and their mother fled to Biu, a town in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state. A year ago their mother left for another town to get treatment for high blood pressure from a traditional healer, leaving Zulyatu alone to care for her siblings, 12-year-old Abubakar and 8-year-old Amira. +That's interesting about the buzzing possibly being created by the brain. I always thought it was created by the auditory nerve. Someone very close to me deals with tinnitus every day, and I always thought it was odd because I'm the one who has worked in high noise environments, but she's the one who suffers with it. It's interesting because it says psychotherapy is a possible solution which would make us very happy if it's real. +I just read on a news paper about a situation in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka about their water situations. They are confronted with a very complicated water problem that is quickly turning extremely serious. The capital city has a population of 15 million. They are pumping the water from the city from the underground and the water is dropping with 9 feet every year. My understanding is that the water is becoming less potable as the pumping is going deeper being contaminated with arsenic. The researchers are trying to locate the contaminated areas and in the meantime thinking of different sources of water such as the one with the help of monsoon. They do have serious problems over there and sounds pretty difficult to have it fixed. Many will have to suffer unfortunately in the meantime +The medical profession is clueless according to three articles I just read. They have no idea how to treat obese or transgender people, among others, and doctors routinely act based on biases and stereotypes. For example, scales aren't calibrated or constructed to weigh obese people and medication dosage often doesn't take weight into account. Doctors just tell patients to lose weight and rush them out of the office. Not that the rest of us are protected from medical protocols that are outdated and sometimes harmful, either. What to do? +I just read an article about the awful treatment of animals of zoos in foreign countries from us. Feeling a little down thinking of how these people could treat the animals how they could continue to raise animals in zoos where people will come and view them while they're ill hurt and some even dying. Even after receiving help to get these animals to a better location where they can be cared for properly other zoos are still continuing with bad treatment and allowing visitors to come witness it. Just like a child animals depend on us if we have them caged either let them out of the cage or take care of them why is that so hard for people to understand or do? +GBR The great barrier reef. I read an article that stated that it was on life support. That the beaching incident of two thousand sixteen amongst others things have left it close to death. The GBR covers 1400miles and has 70000 jobs hanging in the balance. Its crazy because this thing is 25 million yers old. We have to do something. +According to Dr. Jack Drescher, a leading specialist and critic of conversion therapy practices, there is not just one set of practices understood to be used in conversion therapy. “People have tried all kinds of things because none them really work,” he told The Huffington Post. Drescher also said that the majority of research surrounding conversion therapy has taken place on adults who’ve undergone the process, and there is very little research surrounding LGBTQ youth who have been through conversation therapy practices. “But of course you have anecdotal stories,” he said. “Some children have reported running away from home, there have been cases in the news of young people of when their family found out about them or they came out and the family insisted they go to conversion therapy +hello brother I am learning the news I am very happy that you are already in sacrament I am happy that after completing your dream of playing in the NBA is a great time for you and you should know how to take advantage of this great opportunity take care of yourself and succeed.I'm really very proud of you +It's absolutely horrible how Indian government treats their people! Poverty, disease, no regulations when it comes to the environmental safety standards. My heart goes out to these people because they deserve to live in peace on this Earth and be healthy and prosperous just like everyone else. Such a blatant disregard for human life! India is like hell in Earth. I would lock up these government people in solitary confinement for life and let the fly ash befall on their heads so they can find out what getting tuberculosis and liver decease is like for these poor people! The situation in India just never ends, makes you wonder where all these mega wealthy Indian royals are?!!! Why isn't the fly ash falling on them, or why aren't they drinking polluted water that causes lung illness!!! +Officers shooting at unarmed black men needs to stop. I know there are some really good cops out there, but the bad ones are the ones giving the good ones a bad rep. More officers should be vetted before they go to the academy. They need to have better background checks. I completely understand if someone was armed and the officers were in fear of their safety for them to shoot, but if a white officer shoots at an unarmed black man for no reason, that's wrong. +there is a lot going on in this one and I had lots of different emotions throughout the whole thing. numerous issues with the article I read, cops shooting people, people being sent to prison for far too long of a period of time, as well as militias being formed to protect land. I feel our land is important ,I feel as though cattle should be able to graze and that we have a huge problem when it comes to economic issues,due to the way that livestock is taken care of,to produce food for people. It is heartbreaking to see people fight for land they love it, and it’s heartbreaking for the police to have to shoot people over it. people lose years of their lives in prison over land and cattle and thousands upon thousands of dollars wasted in court cases. the whole article was a mess! +I think zuckermans opinions on the oil import has some actual valid points. I feel like his plans and what he wants to do is a good idea. I also feel liek their are too many people just trying to make a quick few bucks, theyll do anything and everything to get there way. I feel bad for some of the less fortuanate consumers who have to be tricked into paying these ridulous high prices foroil. +This is sad on the surface, that these two passed away while scuba diving at such an old age, but then I consider it. These two people - lived their life together - went somewhere glorious and had a wonderful time on vacation together before passing. It is morbid, yes, but is it not also somewhat beautiful? +So many politicians don't see how serious global warming is and refuse to do anything about it. I'm not the biggest environmentalist and sometimes I ignore the whole climate change thing, but I do believe it is happening and know that our government needs to do something about it. I have no faith in our current government to do anything, but I hope others around the world will and we as individuals can do something, even little things. Maybe doing things collaboratively can help change things for the better. +This feels so typical. The burden of safe sex has fallen to the woman for decades, ever since the oral contraceptive was introduced. Women frequently have to decide between accepting disturbing side effects or accepting the risk of pregnancy, whereas men have never had to make that choice. There will never be true equality until men and women face the risks and consequences of sex equally. +It's a shame how troubled the middle east is and has been for the longest time. I wish we could come to some agreement with the rest of the world on how to realistically handle the multiple situations in the middle east. I feel that we should pull out and let them handle their problems on their own with only some guidance from us. +The United States should be ashamed of how this last election went. It was sad that they could not be fair to other countries in the campaigning. Trump bullied other countries and the other bullies in the US voter for him. There is no reason why such a fool should be running our country. I know as Americans anyone can become president, but that does not mean that they do not have to be presidential material. +All of this unrest in the middle east makes me afraid to ever leave North America. I'm glad that it turned out that the shooter was mentally unstable instead of being involved in a larger plot. I wish I had some answers that could make all this war easier but I just don't understand why everyone can't just get along. +These people argue about who's fault it is, but in the end, we're just moving down a highway together, that we build together, and all these dangerous curves are our own fault. The truth to me is, all the Republican party did to win was take advantage of disenfranchised people who are tired of things that happened ten years ago and beyond, so they looked to the only people who would listen to them, even if they were wrong. +the eldest generation of russians aren't being treated properly and should have some sort of financial compensation. they are living off very little per day financially and live in poor conditions. after paying utilities, they barely have enough for food. health care has also taken a turn for the worse because they can't afford to get proper health treatment due to the costs involved +Oh my god. Did you hear about this story of this family of two girls that got killed on Halloweed? Apparently they were hit in a trailer and that cause them to die. Could you imagine just wanting to go out and have fun while trick and treating but then you get the sad news that you daughters are dead? This is heartbreaking for that family. +In all honesty. I have read so many of these articales it is all starting to run together and i am forgetting what i am reading. The time and pay i have spent on this is starting to look like it is not worth completing the hit because it is becoming unfair pay versus time i am spending reading all these articles and wasting time +This article was quite interesting to me. It talked about the invention of a new male contraceptive. It talks about the potential side effects that steer men away from using the contraceptive. The writer of the article mocks men for avoiding these contraceptives when female contraceptives have way more side effects to them. I personally disagree with the writer - if male contraceptives were invented before female contraceptives, I believe that males would have no problem using them despite the side effects. What are your thoughts? +This is an old article, that made the Paris accords seem so responsible and dutiful, until Trump revealed that it was a crap deal that took advantage of the US, obligating them to pay way more than other countries. Plus the soonest results of this regulation will not occur for a century, and will be just a blip of difference. It's a scam. +I think they should both be charged with murder. It's obvious at least one of them did it but I'm assuming both. It's crazy what this world has come to people just killing people all the time and usually for no reason. It's crazy and people need to be punished harsher. If you kill someone on person for no reason you should automatically get the death sentence. +I am thankful that there are people who care about this issue, but I really don't. I feel like this is just part of the life-cycle and I don't really get why so much money is being wasted on a problem and isn't necessarily crucial. However, as I said, it's probably good that people who know more about this issue than I do are caring about the problem. +I've been reading about the drastic increase in migrants trying to get from Africa to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea. This year has seen large amounts of people seeking refuge in Europe, and large increases in fatalities for those attempting the crossing. These people are fleeing desperate conditions in hope of a better life and are attempting risky crossings because there are not enough safe ways to migrate. +I think it is crazy that these employees were put through this at Well's Fargo. I have never worked at a bank before, but being told to reach a quota, even by the means of doing illegal tasks to accomplish what they needed to do. I can't imagine coming into working everyday and wondering if I was going to be considered a good or a bad employee. It would infuriate me to have earned a bonus and then be told I cannot have it because I am being developed as an employee. I am glad they decided to make the change. It sounds better for their employees. +It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore. It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore. +After reading how so many people think Trump will ruin this country I think its fair to say some of our most beloved Presidents acted the same why yet we keep them up on pedestals. Today with social media we just see the problems more out in front since nothing is private anymore. I'm older 63 as you know and my mom and granny taught me how to behave. Don't go into a room with some man you don't know. If he tries something tell someone. All these ladies who kept quiet or were paid off in some way are just as big a part of the problem as any man who abuses them. Ladies time for us to take responsible for what happens. +Why were 43 students highjacking buses? That wasn't taught in my school. Bus high-jacking 101. They seriously failed. I am rather doubting that is true though. If the police are willing to give "criminals" over to the drug cartels, I'm pretty sure they aren't above lying about it. One of my coworkers hasn't visited her family in years because their state has become so crime ridden they won't let her come home. They say it isn't safe for her. How stupid sad is that? And God forbid they try to come here to escape that mess. Right wing crazies do not have any compassion for people just trying to live, it seems. +I can't believe what I just read. I read this article about how riot police took down some pipeline protestors in North Dakota. The armed police used such violent and aggressive tactics to take down the protestors. The protestors were Native Americans and environmental activists. Being environmental activist ourselves could you imagine how we would react to being treated this way. They used sonic devices and rubber bullets shooting the protestors in the face. I'm outraged by these actions. This is totally uncalled for and violates several codes of conduct. The cause of the protest was that the pipeline was affecting the local's water supply. I don't blame them for protesting one bit. The actions and the engagement by the riot police of North Dakota was shameful and they should be punished. +We all live in the same America. I believe that we all have the same hopes,dreams and goals. I can understand to some Trump represents the return of jobs and other industry, but to others he is a symbol of hate. I know you voted for him and I know that you are not racist, but can you see how much this has torn the country apart? We both know that the country was not already united as one, but this has made it worst. I do not see it getting any better anytime soon. I hope the country can heel and both sides can work it out. +Positions of power will ALWAYS, inevitably be taken over by a corrupt and greedy type of individual or group of people. Any time you have a person who has authority over another person, eventually things will go bad. Whether it's kings demanding that they get to deflower any bride before her wedding day (as a law) or our own United States government attempting to strip more and more freedoms from us when we're already slaves... These are the acts of corruption. These are the acts of cowardice, scum-bag gangsters that wear suits. +Heyy! Although this story is sad, I found it definitely alarming and should serve as an example on how this obsession with selfies needs to stop. Apparently, a guy was killed by a python because he was trying to take a good selfie. I think he was one of those people who like to take selfies doing something daring +What would we do without friends? Have you ever given it a thought? Friends are there, right by your side, through thick and thin, adding the right flavors to your life -- cheering you up when you're down, laughing with you till you're both on the floor clutching your stomachs, holding your hand when you're not strong enough to face the world... When you are blessed with true friends you can always count on, you can bravely face any storm and tackle obstacles with a smile. +This is the world we live in now. Until we have heavy weapons that are meant for killing like guns, explosives, and machines, we will never have an end in the conflict in Middle East -- or any country for that matter. If it does finish, a lot of people will suffer and die first which is worrisome. Millions and millions of people experience subhuman living conditions and there's nothing we can do. +I am sharing this because I wish people can understand what humans are doing to the environment and how its actually affecting our climate. WE ARE going through climate change, and it seems like the world does not care because there's still pollution and etc. The artic glaciers are melting, waters are getting warmer and people say that's not "global warming". Definitely give this article a read if you are into environmental stuff. +Who cares about North Korea! I hope they all drowned. Waaah they are having a flood and hope the international community responds? Please Billy. Maybe they should stop sending nuclear missiles over other countries. Maybe that fat butch head could eat less and send a couple dollars to the victims. I could care less about North Korea and am highly glad they are getting flooded. Serves them right. +Oh hey, check it out. Another article about the same thing that's been repeated over and over again, but it's not really changing anything. I am just sending it to you because I'm an idiot that doesn't care about what you think. It just goes on and on about meat production and how that's harming the environment. I can't wait for lab grown meat to be the standard, but that's not really in this. So, read away about cow farts. +There was some anti jewish graffitti in my community after trumps election too. I think these jewish feeling were feeling like a lot of us after trumps election, like America wasn't a safe place to be anymore. He opened it up to racism, sexism, and bigotry. Not that those weren't already there, but he made it seem like those were okay. I felt like that as a woman, and I talked to other women who did too, like you. It felt like these people felt, like suddenly it was okay to harrass women, because the president does it too. +Sally Brampton should serve as an example to others. Talk about being forgotten. She demonstrated clear signs of needing help, and the system failed her. What a terrible loss! A successful, intelligent, conflicted woman who was lost way too soon. It is sad to see someone struggle with depression and other mental illnesses. Society needs to do better to help people in need, especially when they are asking for it. IT is a shame what happened to her. +Do you know about Zika virus news ? That like dengue and West Nile virus, this mosquito-spread disease is now going to be a regular fixture — and a perennial risk for pregnant women. The huge bloom of Zika activity in the Americas right now is unprecedented. A longtime US Army scientist who is now semiretired, Halstead believes Zika will vanish in a few years, likely for decades. That’s the way another arbovirus, chikungunya works, he wrote in an article in Emerging Infectious Diseases last year. “The rate at which people are getting infected right now certainly suggests that we’re heading, within a year or two, to achieve sufficient herd immunity for this virus to die out, +I just read a very sad article about a man who recently lose his family from a car accident. The car was hit by someone who lost control while speeding and slammed into the car with the family, causing all of them to die. The person speeding, along with his family were also killed. It's so sad and troubling knowing that someone has to go through such tragedies in life due to other peoples careless mistakes. May God rest their poor souls. +Gun control should be a priority in our country. After reading about children who lost their lives due to gun violence, it's hard to argue that it's way to easy to get your hands on a gun. Americans are much like people all over the world, but we have infinitely more gun deaths, and it's all because of the ease of acquiring those guns. +I really do not understand what has become of our society.Have you heard about the guy who shot several people at the shopping mall?Because of him,six people were injured and three dead and some three people had eye injuries because of the broken glasses.The guy is only 20 from Turkey and guess what,he has been charged with murder because he confessed. +This is the type of thing that really scares me. I would be very interested in viewing this video. How in the world does one shoot their own relatives and two police officers? What gives this person the right to take someone else life? Those people may have had children, mothers, sisters, friends, co-workers, and now they are dead, and for what? How did this individual go so long without being apprehended. Sometimes the system really confuses me and upsets me. I wish they would have caught him sooner and kept him alive so he could explain his actions. +Hey, I know you asked me about what happened to that mother and her baby in New York and here's the full article. It's so sad...that baby could have lived their life to the fullest and now it's cut short. The mother will have to grieve over what happened to...It's so sad that things like this happen. +I am so sick and tired of Donald Trump. He has no idea what he is doing. He is making America a laughing stock to the world. He is a puppet. He is a big man baby who cannot take criticism or do a job right. He's not as rich as he says. He does what he wants and figures money will take care of it all. I cannot wait till he is out of office. +The move comes after Human Rights Watch published a report detailing accounts by dozens of women and girls who said they were sexually abused or coerced into sex. The women said they were raped or abused by camp leaders, vigilante group members, policemen and soldiers at camps in Borno State's capital, Maiduguri. The camps were set up to offer aid to people displaced by fighting in Nigeria's northeast. Nigeria's Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has set up a special team "to immediately commence thorough Investigation into all cases of alleged sexual abuses, exploitation, harassments, gender-based violence and professional misconduct," a statement from the inspector general's office said Thursday. Police: Security at camps to be beefed up Some of the victims had escaped captivit +Here is another example of domestic gun violence that is happening in america. I know that you feel very strongly about this issue and figured that you might want to read this article that I found. It is such a sad story, and until we get the guns off the street, these stories are just going to keep coming up. +Veterans deserve all the support from this nation. They put in risk their lives for us, for our freedom and security. Most of the people have no idea what those people have seen and experienced in a war zone, or the toll that these experiences can take on an individual, matter how strong they are, I'm sure they have suffered traumatic experience, and they really need help before their battles. +So I just read another article where a teacher compared President Trump to Adolph Hitler. And the teacher had the nerve to say that his lesson plans are always "factually based". The last time I checked, Donald Trump has not interred 15 million Jews to concentration camps where he has killed them. Typical liberal Democrat with so much hyperbole. Teachers need to stick to teaching the facts and not interjecting their opinions into their lessons. +This makes me very upset. They don't want to take responsibility, blames it on something else. It's clearly your fault and you should feel guilty for killing all these people. They have every right to sue you for your stupid mistake. We live in a world with idiots. Next time you take the car to work, remember that you can't count yourself to be safe if you are careful. +This story I have read was heart breaking! Two men were shot, one twice in the stomach and the other shot in the back. Sadly no weapons were recovered and no arrests were made causing me to worry the person that did this is free. This upsets me worried for myself and others, hoping to protect the community from the criminal gun man still at large. The two men were taken to the hospital, hoping for a speedy recovery for them and comfort for their families after this tragic incident! The terrible time they must all be going through now. Worrying and stressing over this unthinkable situation. I sure do hope the person responsible is found and arrested quickly, to keep our community safe from additional attacks and to to get him the help he needs. Not to mention time in prison. Certainly right +Some of the drivers around this place need to be taken out of their cars and arrested. Some people were struck on Highway 80 near Chunky. Some kids were involved. I think three people died. They were riding on the back of a trailer celebrating Halloween. A vehicle collided with the trailer probably a drunk. I think they were just in a hurry like everyone else around here. I guess that driver is going to get it. +I just read an article about wind turbines killing birds. I hadn't ever thought about it before, but it makes a lot of sense. It's just curious that in trying to be "green," were actually hurting part of the ecology. Apparently, hundreds of thousands of birds are being killed annually. Worst of all, they are killing Golden Eagles, an endangered species! It's just really sad. +Gosh, who would do something as horrible as kill an innocent animal (and a baby at that)? However, I am glad that the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group and the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign set up a reward to catch whoever did that. I was also happy to see that it was an immediate response, not a delayed one. It's sad that people won't come forward on their own to bring justice and that there has to be a monetary incentive. +I really am sick of these pseudo scientists running around screaming the sky is falling. It is a load of garbage science. The take a snapshot of the earth, a vastly complicated system with millions of variables that is in constant flux and motion. They plug this into a model with a couple of hundred hand picked variables and pronounce that we are all doomed. It is bad science and everyone knows it. +Ugh have you seen what's going on in New Delhi? The air pollution over there is horrible and so many people are getting seriously sick! They are calling the city a gas chamber because the air quality is so bad. I'm so glad we don't have to deal with that around here but I really feel for all of the children who are being affected by all of this. I can't imagine how helpless parents feel when there's nothing they can do to help their kids. +This ticks me off for two reasons: One, that we've messed up the Australian ecosystem so badly, and two, that people are going to read it and say "Oh, no, it wasn't climate change at all, so we don't have to do anything to fix it." Either way, it was man-made problems that did this little guy in. I wish they would blame it thoroughly on climate change, so people would maybe be spurred to do something. Instead, right now they'll say "Oh, it wasn't *really* climate change," and when a more clear-cut extinction happens, they'll point back to this and say "Well, it's been going on for a long time now, nothing we can do." Christ. +So, I was reading recently about how Kenya deported a South Sudan opposition official. despite threats against him, they deported him as tensions rose over peacekeeping efforts. Kenyan authorities have reacted super angrily to a U.N. decision this week to dismiss the Kenyan general in charge of the peacekeeping force there, for failing to protect civilians during a recent outbreak of violence. +I think it's so rude when people mock government officials and get so full of them selves over politics. It really just burns me up that people can't get along in regards to it. I hate reading about politics in general and it is even worse when you have to read about grown adults bickering and arguing over it all. Joe Walsh and Diana Duckworth both are very immature. What do you think? +it funny how people do stupid things that just pop into their mind like taking a topless selfie while driving just to send it to the other person . seriously if u want to do that just park the car at the site and do it , it not ur live that u are putting in danger ,it also other ppl live thatu can easily ruined if u dont drive carefully +I've never heard of this person or this talk show, have you? Mostly I find this stuff kind of boring, and although it's sad for people to lose their jobs, this happens all the time, and to people who have probably earned a lot less than these people, and who have a lot less prospects of being reemployed. Shows are cancelled all the time, so I get kind of annoyed with this kind of news. +An article that I just read is really pretty disturbing. It speaks of the tremendous droughts in the river areas of Bolivia. It's bad enough because it is just a natural disaster situation, but the fact that there was also mismanagement involved is particularly troubling. The government failed to properly care for the canals. The article also speaks of selling off many of its wild animals. This might become a very serious problem given the fact that some of the animals are endangered species such as the wild dog. They are also looking at selling off elephants, lions and pythons. Even if they do this, how much of the money will ever actually reach its citizens to help them? +it is too bad that so many people still deny that polution and man made climate change is destroying our natural world. it makes me wonder what will be left for my grandchildren to enjoy of our natural world. in my life i have noticed the degredation of the ourdoors to a fair extent and it is only accelerating. woe to mankind. +This is horrifying. You're just going about your business, then someone takes issue with you, and suddenly you're dead. Maybe you didn't even interact with them and they just decided to kill you for fun. It's deeply troubling and makes you suspicious of every stranger on the street. I also feel bad for those who had to witness this and didn't have time to do anything to stop it. I'd imagine some feel guilty even though they couldn't have helped. +The outer boom which was put in place to contain the spilled oil had broke free on Friday causing the oil to spread and bad weather had prevented clean up crews from working on the spill for four consecutive days. By Saturday, salvage crews had recovered more than 40 percent of the 200,000 liters of fuel estimated to be in the vessel, but the damage had already been done. +Hey, Josh here is another example of total insanity in a nation that has taken millions of jobs from people around the world but refuses to give any serious consideration to the health and welfare of its citizens. These people are pawns and the sad thing is no one there has the will to fix any of the sanitation problems or air quality issues. What is so hard about it? Maybe they should start eating some of their relatives, you know, cattle. +Damaging the Amazon rain forest, one of the most iconic and well-known rain forests known to man, just to get oil is simply inexcusable. The US's hunt for crude oil is coming with disastrous consequences and needs to be rectified. By tearing down the Amazon trees, hurtful greenhouse gases are rising into the air, damaging the air quality around us. Corporations shouldn't be able to hurt the environment like this. It makes me angry. +If it's not bad enough that the father is a child molester who molested his own child, the mother had the nerve to join in on the abuse. I doubt very serious if she was forced to do it as she could have divorced him or left him rather commit such a heinous crime and money is no excuse. I wouldn't molest my child for all the money in the world. These people were just sicking perverse sorry excuses for human beings. +I don't know how they do it. They get abused in their own country, then abused by orgs that are supposed to help. I simply don't know why they would want to live. They are very strong. No org HAS to help them but if they sign up to help- then help. I think some are doing the best they can to help. However- more has to be done- Animals can't be left this way, so why can people? +Just when you think you have heard enough crazy Donald Trump stories this one takes the cake. I just read about a mother from Fresno Texas who not only kicked her elementary son out of the house for voting in a mock school election for Donald Trump she also videotaped it. Well, of course, the video went viral. The Fort Bend County Texas sheriff's department went to check out the situation and the child seemed to be in good health. The mother made the child stand on the street corner with a sign telling why he was kicked out of the house. The mother claims now that it was only a joke. I hope the child is not permanently scarred from this incident. +As if our immigration problem couldn't get any worse! Now Haitian immigrants are going through Mexico to show up at the Cali border! I hope they all get deported. Immigrants are nothing but a plague on this country, for the most part, save the elite ones we get from areas of Asia. The Haitians would do nothing to stimulate our economy, would all end up on public assistance, and would cost taxpayers like you and me! We really can't afford to keep letting them stream into the country, but the good news is that most of them are being booted. We just need to change "MOST" to "ALL" because there is nothing good that can come of letting them in the country!! +Remember that you where telling me about how you were having trouble sleeping lately? Maybe you should take a look at this article that I found online about sleep paralysis and what it is all about and how it is affecting this guy. I hope that it can help you out a little bit with what you have been going through. +Awww, this story is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine what this family is going through. Did you see this? I am hopeful that they can find peace. If something like this happened to me, I do not know what I would do. I guess that this just reminds us that life is precious and we should appreciate what we have! +It's just so distressing to read about the negative effects we constantly have on defenseless animals. Human beings need to be more respectful of the planet and its native biodiversity. I just finished reading an article about an endangered species in the Gulf called the Vaquita that is slated to be extinct by 2022 due to nothing beyond happening to be in the water where people are fishing. It's just so thoughtless, so shortsighted, and so frustratingly preventable. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading the most heartbreaking article. I read the story of a man, Wesley O'Dell, and his wife finding a tortured dead kitten on the side of the road. The kitten was wrapped in electrical cords and its jaw was ripped apart. The body was already stiff when they found it. Now O'Dell and his wide are asking people to share the story as an attempt to bring awareness to animal abuse and try to prevent it in the future. +This article is interesting. I guess there is risk with everything and now men concieved through IVF may have trouble conceiving themselves. I'm glad I didn't have to go the IVF route, although I guess it's not a sure thing that the men conceived through IVF will have a lower sperm count, but I guess the risk is higher. I don't think there are too many people that know about this information. it's the first time I've ever heard of it. +So, a man in china, put a chopstick into his penis. Yeah, you heard me. He wanted to see if he had an infection or something, and instead of being a normal person, and going to the doctor, he decided to self examine and see what he could find. He ended up having to have surgery to remove the chopstick out of hiis penis. What would possess a man, to do such a thing?, The only thing I can think of after reading this story,, is about how real mental ilness is.. There is no other excuse in my opinion on why someone so masochistic. I mean, the doctors said, any further , and he would have killed himself. It hurst me just thinking about this. +I read an article about Typhoon Meranti. The article said the storm passed by Taiwan without actually hitting the island, which I suppose was a good thing, because evidently there was another storm in 2009, Typhone Morakot, that killed a bunch of people and did billions of dollars of damage. I'm glad I don't live somewhere where there's any inclement weather like that, it must be miserable to live on an island where it's hot and crowded. +People working in Financial institutions or banks should be honest and do what is morally right. Workers who opened fake accounts should be fired, that is unethical. No one would be expecting such a huge scam at Wells Fargo. I am deeply saddened, I have an account with Wells Fargo. I have to be paying close attention to my account, one never knows when something will go wrong. +Hey buddy. I think this article made me worried about this Zika situation. It is spreading with such vigor like never before and it kills very fast. I think the whole world needs to be on alert and health scientists need to be working hard to try and eradicate this disease. It's gonna take some time but something needs to be done +Thats really heartbreaking to read the story about the man who lost his family in a car crash. I think people who street race are acting very dangerously for now reason and it is usually very stupid young males who do this. I dont know what sense to make out of this since the woman and her children did not seem to do anything to deserve this. Maybe it takes stories like this to make us realize how p[precious life is and how careful we must be +These numbers leave little room to think that climate change is not happening. As you know, I firmly believe in the importance of environmental protections and think climate change is a problem. However, articles like this only add to the problem. These numbers are shocking on the surface but could easily be explained by natural fluctuations year to year. I wish they would focus on balanced science instead. +I kind of think this article was written in a tongue-in-cheek manner especially when you read that last line--what a pun! If there is any truth to it, though, what could possible cause these kinds of chemical burns on a shampoo product that should be thoroughly tested when mixed with water in the shower. How could it even happen like that? Is there actual lye in these bottles? I guess we'll find out when the case goes to trial. +Wow - I don’t know what I’d do in this situation. How sad for these people. They have to leave everything behind, and they really don’t have a lot of options. I feel really sad for the children. It’s like they have no home. What a mess. I wish the middle east wasn’t so violent. I don’t understand all the hate. +This article I just read talks about another mass shooter. Well, not so much mass shooter like some of the recent ones, but they did open fire in public and kill 5 people. I can't help but feel disgusted that these things still happen. I really hope that this guy gets what he deserves, because this has to stop. +I'm sorry....I don't mean to laugh...but.....this was TOO MUCH. I hate to admit that I found it a little bit funny, but at the same time, I feel sorry that this man was this ignorant to do this to himself. Now he's going to have to go through so much more stuff, when in all likeliness, a simple urine test probably would have been performed to find a solution to the issue to begin with. +no matter what your heritage, you should be able to serve your country. her thai heritage shouldn't preclude her and shouldn't have been an issue in this debate. tammy duckworth and her family should be congratulated on the services they have provided to this country. any type of racism should not be allowed in a debate +Man how sad, that is terrible to imagine what the poor dog went through. I don't think we should hate the guy too much, even though he should definitely face consequenes. Ultimately I am sure he's really heart broken about what happened to the dog, and it was just a mistake not like some negelectful, hateful act. +I just read an article about suicide, it was really sad. It started off talking about a 12 year old girl who was interested in suicide groups online. One day she went to school, or so her mother thoght. The mother recieved a phone call from the channel A&E notifiing her that her daughter had took her own life. The article went on to say how Russia was third in the world in suicides. It was a really sad article. +This article was about the disturbing finds by the Iraqi military as they re-captured territory from retreating Islamic State fighters. They found mass graves of people killed by ISIS and although there is some confusion about the details, there are dozens or maybe over 100 bodies. There is also evidence of torture. The ISIS fighters were certainly brutal towards their victims, and have captured many more to use as human shields or to kill outright for their perceived beliefs. +We live in a world someone can not only be arrested for their thoughts, but can be seen as a target for violence from monsters. From the shooter, to the local government, these actions should be condemned on all fronts. The government was wrong to arrest the deceased, and the murderer was of course wrong for shooting him to death . I am saddened that someone lost his life because of his charge of a charged message. While I do feel glad that apparent justice will be served in this case, this just goes to show you how violent some people can become when you toss religious ideals into the mix. +This is so sad. Something needs to be done for these refugees. People need to be more accepting of them. People shouldn't be afraid of letting them into their country, they are just people who need help. I feel so bad for the babies, children and mothers on these boats. It's horrifying to imagine drowning in the sea, especially from the eyes of a child. +There was more bombing over in Syria in the news over the weekend. There were over 300 casualties including small children. A father and son were found dead in the rubble as well as two boys whose mother survived in an adjoining room. It seems like the violence in the Middle East is never ending. +I honestly cant remember what i read. I walked away for a drink and came back and i completely forgot. Reading these articles like this in succession is tedious and makes the stories asll run together making the retention of the story hard to keep. I would have reread the article if i could and there was an option to +The person was robbed the money at gun point and escaped from that place. The victim calls the 911 and the police investigation the victim and gathered some information about the criminal. Then they are start to search the criminal.The victim calls the 911 and the police investigation the victim and gathered some information about the robbery. +wow sleep paralysis sounds so scary! I hope that this never happens to me ! I think that It was affect me for a long time . I'm sure that those few short seconds that is happens seems like hours . I would probably have a heart attack from being so scared. Yeah no thank you on any of that . I will be making sure I don't drink before going to bed from now on. +Just read another "EPA" article promoting its usual bull shit. This time its the "a la The Simpsons fish with 3 heads" where a scientist is taking a picture of his ONE deformed Salmon he cought and wants the entire world to flip out about his 1 mutated fish. Well, ever seen a 4 leaf clover? Thats "mutated" as well right? +Thinking about water contamination is a scary thought. When that can effect our children it makes things even worse. The crisis in Flint is unacceptable and to hear about the drinking fountain in Chicago makes things even worse. It makes you think that major improvements need to made across the US. New laws need to be put in place to ensure everyone is getting healthy water. +I just read an article about Susan Sarandon asking people to put their money where their mouth is in regards to the Dakota Access Pipeline. While I don't agree with her position, I do agree with that statement. If people want to whine about it, they should step up and help instead of crying on social media. +See? This is why sometimes I rather ignore the news. Shootings over there, people dead over here, drugs, etc. It makes me sick the kind of world we live in. Hundreds of deaths just because they thought these people were related to drug dealing? I mean, did they even had some kind of proof? Why shoot to kill? Why not stick to the laws and put them in jail if they were found guilty? +I found a story about Kate Beckinsale and her husband, Len Wiseman, they have pulled the plug on their marriage ... TMZ has learned. Wiseman cited irreconcilable differences. His docs state both he and Kate have waived any right to spousal support, and that suggests there's a prenup. They were married in 2004 and have no kids together. TMZ broke the story ... the couple's marriage was on the rocks last November. Len was spotted out with model CJ Franco, and Kate we seen shortly after -- sans wedding ring -- on the red carpet. +did you hear about that Indian girl from Kashmir who got blinded by the government with pellet guns that have sharp edges. She wasn't doing anything but standing by a window. These corrupt governments are so evil. Kashmir is being fought over and innocent people are being killed and hurt. It really is disgusting what these governments are doing. +Hey I just read this article about more craziness ISIS is doing? Sometimes the articles have so many names of places I don't recognize and can't pronounce that I get a little off track of the point of the article. I gues those terrorists are using people as human shields to keep and take control or surroundings areas. They know this is against UN policy, but I doubt they care. There is always something going on in the Middle East, it seems nothing gets better for the people just trying to live. I feel like something should be done to improve the situation, but it's been bad since I was a kid and I doubt it'll get better. +I can't believe people spend their money doing that kind of parties. I think its not correct to be extremist in how much we support a president. White supremacists are dangerous people with crazy ideology. They promote horrible values to their sons and to the society, they are not respectful with other races and that hurt the society, specially here in United States that is a multi-cultural country. This groups should disappear from the map as soon as possible! Their ideology is useless in a country like this. +Wow. So sad to see yet another species on the way to extinction. It's crazy to think that there's only 60 of one species left in the world. I know that it was the same way with the white rhino - it was like we knew it was coming, but we were completely unable to stop it, because it was just too late. I wonder if they could keep them in captivity. +People often think of what it must be like to be in the 1% and be ultra successful. But often times we forget about the many pressures and responsibilities that come a long with that. Take Mikhail Lesin for example. The man was very well know and successful and look what happened to him he wound up dead just like everyone else. Now, the conclusion is that it was an accident, but the type of people and industries and location of the world leaves a lot of speculation. I guess thats a price you have to pay if you make enemies in the world. You are either looking over your shoulder all the time or completely stressed to death. What a world. +So I just read that article about Alexandria Vera. I know you know who she is, and I know the lawyer in you just wants to get in that case. I mean, can you imagine the nerve of a teacher to exploit a minor in that way. She deserves more than 30 years, if you ask me. And the parents of the minor ought to have been charged with something. That is disgraceful. I mean, what is happening in America today? Some of the things I read about make me sick! +This shooting is a good example of how black people and people w are wrongly prosecuted by the police. Now in this articles this gentlemen is getting a re-trial since they concur that he didn't do such thing and basically had the police lying to the judge. Now he can be fairly be judged and not be discriminated +Did you see the article about the attack in the mall in MI? Can you imagine, just minding your own business, and then this guy dressed as a security guard starts stabbing people, yelling something about Allah??? Thank GOD there was an off duty cop there to stop him, or imagine how long he could have gone on for? This is getting crazy. We've gotta do something. I don't want to be worried about my safety just going to the mall. +This is surprising news. First, how the news always make us believe that when a cop dies, is because of a black person (or someone who is not white), making race a big thing again. Number two, I am not saying that is good that people are dead, but instead, I am saying that not a lot of them are dead. And for those who are not dead, we should think about them, provide them with better guide, counseling and stuff like that, they go through traumatic events at work +What a shame. I wish the article went more into detail about what happened to the actress and the guy she was with. I'm assuming they just broke in and then used tear gas on the couple? How did they escape from the masked men? Or did the masked guys just steal stuff and then leave? I'm not sure what the gun laws in France are but these reports would make me feel uneasy there. +I feel sad yet again to here about more crimes against the native americans. The pipeline is disgusting and will no doubt result in leaks that contaminate water. It is good that people are protesting but I don't feel it will end up working. There is oil there and they will kill people if they need to just like they do in every other country. +I just don't understand how this is the country that we all say we love and adore, but yet when others come here there are so many stipulations for them, and then even when they succeed at jumping through all of the hoops they are forced to, they have even more guidelines behind that. It's just so unfortunate that these refugees will feel unsafe and ultimately feel like refugees for the rest of their lives. +I am so bothered and upset about the elementary school teacher that was charged with child pornography. I cannot believe a trusted individual would commit such a heinous crime involving children! This infuriates me to my core that someone could hurt innocent children this way! Does this make you just as mad? I really feel for those parents of the children involved and hope that it does not do permanent damage to all those sweet babies! +Gosh, the emotions I felt while reading that. Being a nurse, I would be so scared of such a mass emergency and worrying about it people would make it or not. It disgusts me that innocent people would be used as human shields. How could someone do that to someone else? And they purposely brought them into the center of the city with the intention of using them as human shields. +Hey buddy. Did you hear about this weird disease that is spreading amongst the frog population? Apparently it's a disease that happens due to people having ponds in their house. I worry what this disease could do to the local population of frogs. Tell anyone who has a pond to becareful with what they are moving in and out of their ponds. +How terrible it would be to live your life knowing you murdered someone. It would be interesting to speak to somebody, who was maybe sixty or seventy, and had murdered someone as a young person, what they would have to say about it, how they feel about it and what they've learned, having killed someone, about themselves and society. +I can't believe that this happened. Can you imagine what it must be like to flee from something so incredibly dangerous and then lose your life at sea or see people die while you're escaping? I wonder sometimes what must possess refugees to do this. Is there no other way for them to escape? Why do they risk their lives when they know the numbers of people who die in situations like this? It must be awful where they are coming from for them to risk it all. I mean, look at that star soccer player. She was like royalty in her country and a celebrated athlete. If even she took the risk and died, what must it be like for other people? +This is so disturbing. It says that they are killing chickens that are still awake during it. It's like they like torturing them. Why can't we be like Europe? In Europe they have rules on how this is supposed to be done. No we just let companies do whatever they like. How hard it is to kill something and make sure it's not awake while doing so? +I feel pretty indifferent about this kind of thing overall. It’s not fair to the men, but at the same time society has been conditioned in such a way that we have a higher demand for female models and lower demand for male models. Society is unfair in a lot of ways, and this is one of the few ways where women benefit over men. +Yo. I hope that you are ready to read a long ass article about things that both did not make a difference in the election and things that enough people decided did not fucking matter. It's another take on "look at what an asshole trump is" It's totally true, but nothing changed because of things like this so I don't see the reason of rehashing it. Trump's a real mother fucker, but he was a white man, so enough assholes voted for him. Anyway, please enjoy yet another garbage article. +I think that everyone should be aware of the people that they touch. There are times whenever we take others for granted. I think that we don't always tell each other about what their lives mean to us. I know that it is tough growing up alone in a world without others. I know that it is tough to make lasting friends. +I thought that this article was something very hurtful to read. I was reading about the fire and what happened to the place that these people live and it said that these people got hurt and injured and I felt very bad for them. I wish that there was a way that everyone could help along to. The people should be more careful about the fire and see the safety next time. +The article was about corruption at the International Monetary Fund, specifically the wrongdoing of former boss Rodrigo Rato. The banking industry is rife with issues like this, so it comes as no surprise that someone was trying to take advantage of the system even in an international organization like the IMF. The problem is that we do not have enough prosecutors that are willing to take on the banking industry and put them in their place. I'm tired of constantly hearing about people getting away with white collar crimes. +I don't really feel much of anything when I read about this sort of incident since it happens all the time, I guess if I had to come up with something I would say I feel vaguely annoyed and irritated, I don't see why people can't manage to watch sports games in an orderly, non-violent manner, so the fact that we have to deal with this nonsense every time a popular sporting event happens is irritating. I think that it should not be difficult for people to conduct themselves appropriately, so it is frustrating that this sort of thing happens so often during sporting and other events. +The fact that all Trump has to say when asked about his supporters being violent is "Stop it." Is laughable. Yet when he is asked his opinion on minorities like muslims or hispanics, he can go on for days. Him and his supporters have worms in their brains or something. There's no way any logical person capable of rationality would agree with half the things he says. +I can't even imagine what it would be like to be minding our own business in a club and then having someone come in and shoot you. This must have been terrifying for this person. I certainly hope they did not lose their life and I also hope this is not an incident that leads to further problems in the future. +Nothing gets to me more than hearing about hungry children. Nobody should go hungry. There's so much food in this world. It breaks my heart to hear about kids fainting in school because they've only had one meal for the day. I wish there was a way to help these kids more directly. I'm not one to give to large non-profit organizations but I feel so bad for these kids. +We need to make sure these brave people have more resources. Government needs to realize the value of animal tourism and do more to stop poaching. Once these precious animals are gone, there will be no bringing them back. We need to do more to make sure this does not happen. Poaching is a huge problem in Africa and penalties need to be severe +This is so sad guys. :( I can't believe this, I never knew how far reaching climate change actually was. These poor turtles are dying because of the temperature changes. Please do something, write your local senator so we can start to reverse this. We need to get back into the climate accords and become a leader in environmental sustainability, instead of what we have been doing. +I hear the British Government is looking to drill for oil again. This time they are looking to drill near the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda. Everyone is so dependent on oil all the time. Too bad for some giraffes that live there as they will be displaced. Of course I could really care less about giraffes 5000 miles away from me. Still I wish the giraffes the best I suppose. Brits are such weasels it figures they would look to kill a bunch of giraffes for their own selfish gains. Governments all stink. +Really? How are these people allowed to have children? Its really not that hard to not poison your child is it? I mean it shouldn't be, but maybe these people are high on their own drugs so they don't notice their kids are getting into them. Its really sad and something should certainly be done. +I think the girl may be as spy for another country. She sells the important information to another government. It may be leads to sever problem to the Pakistan Government. So, the Police Action is correct. The Police must be gathered from the girl. First thing is the girl did not the authorized person for enter this office. This is the first criminal activity. She theft the important information from the office. This is the severe criminal activity. So, the Girl must be punished severe. This is the big problem for the Government. +I just heard that the Editor of Elle magazine killed herself. It is always sad when someone take their own life. What makes this one worse than the usual is that there were chances that she could have been helped but she was turned away. They said that she was "over the worst of it" but other evidence suggests that she was not. To me it seems like people did not want to deal with her for some reason or they were on a small budget and could not afford to treat her so they turned her away. Very sad and very messed up that you turn away someone whop wants helpa dn they then kill themselves. The system needs to be fixed. +Here we go again, talking about political figures forging and waging war for the popular vote. They switch sides and change their point of view so much that it is easy to say they don't care about the common person, only their chair in office. I think that the parties have merged into one, one mass all out war to get into office. +Wow, did you hear what happened to Mallika Sherawat in France? She was gassed and beaten and robbed. That is unbelievable! So scary and it could happen to anyone everywhere. She is lucky to be alive. It is sad though that this story got mixed in with politics because it wasn't even about Clinton, or Obama or Trump. +It was sort of sadly ironic to see the part in there about "we don't think he'll win" considering what followed. All of it, sadly, still rings true, day after day. There's been no apology, only a doubling down on the kind of bile, arrogance, and ignorance that was on display since day one. I feel bad for every woman in the country who has to live with someone like that as their president. +New wildfires across Appalachia! Thought I'd share this with you after our discussion about California wild fires. This one is huge in the Appalachian mountains and seems to be spreading. It can also be seen from space! Hopefully everyone gets out safe and the firefighters are all able to contain it safely. Thinking of you! +This is a nice story - people have some level of need to protect nature and protecting birds is an excellent way of giving back, especiailly since some are endangered. I have to commend this person for trying really hard to protect one species, and for committing to it. I myself would have a difficult time choosing what to hel pwith - but this person doesnt! +I read an interesting article online about Russia again. Apparently one of Putins former aids had just died outside of a hotel in D.C., that is really crazy and scary. Apparently a lot of people are thinking that this could be foul play and it wouldn't be a surprise since the Russian government is known for doing this sort of thing all the time. He was apparently fixing to cut a deal with the federal government which would have angered the Russian government so I bet they killed him off so that they could avoid him giving away information to the federal government. +After reading this story I think the right decision was made. It seems to me that the man had no reason to shoot at those kids just because they were playing loud music. Sure music can be annoying but no one deserves to be shot over it. I don't think that any changes need to be made to the stand your ground laws. This was a simple case of someone making poor choices and now needs to pay the price for their actions. +This day and age, there is a tremendous amount of evidence showing that climate change is real. In this new reality, how will life react. Do species have the ability to adapt and thrive in new clients or will they disappear. What will happen to humans as well? More studies need to be done in order to figure out not if we can stop climate change, but how will it affect us all. +This story specifically doesn't make me feel anything, since I don't know these people and I feel like if I tried to have emotions for every victim of a crime I read about that would just require too much mental effort. In a broader sense however, I feel frustrated and tired of having to deal with men committing acts of violence against women constantly simply because they can, especially in cases like this where there didn't seem to be much prior warning. It's irritating because it is such an awful trend, so it makes me feel sort of disgusted with the state of the world in that way. +It deeply saddens me to think that a mother could leave her child on a porch and abandon it. I feel some anger towards the mother for abandoning her young, defenseless child. The child is very lucky to have been found by kind strangers who were able to deliver it to safety. I hope that the child will be adopted into a loving family and will be given a solid upbringing. +The article that I read was about these architects that are building things and they are kindof looking at the tactics for buildings and their tools that are used to build the buildings. They want to see what will be safer and allow the people to make better buildings. There was a recent mishap that caused several people to die and it was related to the building issues. +It’s a shame that Nevada is going through this. It is a beautiful state. I really feel for the reservations. They have no where to go. They rely on water as a way of life. They have animals that need water. I don’t really know what can be done. Maybe we should address climate change. It is definitely happening. +It is sad that children are still dying from measles. According to UNICEF, there is a simple vaccine that can be given, which would stop children from being affected. It affects most children in poor countries, which is very sad. The vaccine isn’t that expensive and you would think that the leaders of all countries would get together and do something about this problem. It is not just up to the USA to stand up and do something. These other countries (even though they are poor) need to get more educated and help protect their own children and citizens in their own country. It is sad that children and others have to die because we can’t coordinate with each other, to get the vaccines to those who need it most. I feel sorry for those families who have suffered the loss of a child due +I just read an article about an infant orangutan, that was so sad. There had been several orangutans rescued from an illegal dealer. They were taken to a rescue center. The infant orangutan all of a sudden collapsed in her cage. She has meningitis which can be deadly for her. She is getting amazing care at this center though, so I sure hope she pulls through. I have no extra money right now but you can donate to this organization! +It doesn't matter what country you live in. The powerful will always stomp on the weak. Expecting anything from your government or your party is pointless unless you have some amount of influence. Politics have not stopped war, poverty, disease, crime, or anything else. It simply is a way to subjugate mass amounts of people no differently than in olden times. They keep painting a pretty picture, and we all live in this illusion that life can be great here or there. But that is because there is not enough focus on the horrible things happening under our noses, even in our own neighborhoods. People are wretched, and those who rise to power will continue to be the most retched as they sell themselves out to any donor, or support that will keep them in power. +I am really shocked by our current healthcare system. I just read an article that informed me that something as simple of hand washing can prevent hundreds of deaths and disability for US infants. Why isn't this common knowledge. I am really disappointed. It may not be a majority of children who are at-risk or afflicted, but for the few children who are , this information would have been everything. +As I read this article, I felt a bit nervous and alarmed at India's tiger population, even though this is in India but still. Hopefully, the Tigers will be better protected in the future and people will stop trying to kill them or dial it down at least. I wish India's tigers the best in their protection and survival. +I find this article to be stupid. It talks about how Trump supporters are attacking actors from the show Silicon Valley. I'm not a Silicon Valley fan and I do not know who those actors are, but I believe that if there were ever to be a fight that escalates due to differing political opinion, I would just walk up and leave. +Regardless of what scientists believe the earth is warming. I think that people are constanstly always trying to come up with reasons as to what is happening with the earth, but these people are trying to pick this ladys research apart. Also, I am not sure how sexual harassment plays into the article, but that is a big deal in the US. People get harassed way to often in the workplace with nothing being done. +It's kind of amazing how little we knew what was going on back then. There have certainly been a lot of changes since that day. I think we can all take comfort in the fact that the world didn't end that day. Even with crazy people in charge the earth's people seem to be capable of keeping us all on the right track. I mainly worry about my own self now. +I just read that poaching of rhinos for ivory has gotten so bad in South Africa that they've begun expanding and now have anti-poacher armies. I say good for them. The animals can't fight back, but hopefully the army can deter poachers. I know the poachers do it because they can make a lot of money, but I just don't understand it. Big game hunters/trophy hunters and poachers are one in the same to me. I think they are both ridiculous reasons to harm or kill any animal. The anti-poaching armies have a scary, but, I think, extremely necessary job. +I felt that reading the excerpt from the article was sad and had me feeling distraught to an extent. I know it's just an article but hearing about all the bad in the world is just an assured way to get a poor start to the day. I was mostly wondering what the situation was where Richard Hong was killed in the Los Angeles home. Whos home was it and why was George Stroumbolopoulos there. I'd like to know the more intricate details of what went down in this crime. Was it a murder of passion or was it cold blooded. Was it in the moment or was it calculated. What will happen now, hopefully and investigation can uncover this. +Hey, man, don't know if you saw this report on the news, but this article is pretty messed up. Those poor people were just trying to have a good time and then all hell broke lose. I remember seeing the news reports and the images were pretty shocking, but the story in this article takes it to another level. You should read it. These poor people are going to get paid for sure. it is funny how the owner had to invoke "God" trying to protect his own ass. +Apparently ISIS is still prevalent in Pakistan.. There have been numerous attacks on the public and a police academy. As bad as this group is for some reason I don't find them to be that big of a threat to Americans. At least not the ones here at home. By the way wasn't donald trump suppose to get rid of ISIS completely? +I am rather turned off by the fact that California allows the water supply to be so construed for people. Very sad to see people in central California go through what Flint, Michigan went through with poor water conditions and I'd hate to be in the political sphere there. It would be good to see organizations working within the region to bring residents quality water. +Those poor little babies. This is just going to keep happening more and more. The rate of human caused extinctions is going up at a scary rate. I know pandas and polar bears are kind of the face of conservation, but they're not the only cute animals out there. And even the ones that aren't cuties matter! Extinction is such a huge, huge deal. +What this article taught me was that heartbreaks are not the end of the world. Yes, they are NOT. Just because that one precious person left us we start living with an emotion that our life has come to an end. Life isn't ending at all, each day is a new beginning, with new people waiting for us out there. As you move forward, life will remove many people from your life just because they aren't required and you can actually reach your destination. Your life has just begun, nobody stops moving, the sun still rises and the sun still sets. +Wow. I can imagine being in that man's shoes. It sounds as if his son could have been more disturbed than originally thought at the other arrest. I would be devastated if I felt so threatened by my own child that I had to resort to violence. I mean, how terrible it must be! Though details aren't completely clear, it sounds as if the son had some issues that weren't completely dealt with and it resulted in some sort of confrontation with his dad. How terrible to have to carry this with him the rest of forever. It would break my heart in two. I hope he gets deep counseling for his grief and guilt. Perhaps if the son had, it wouldn't have happened. More's the pity. +This bsi truly disturbing, I don't understand how someone could ever do that to an animal let alone a small kitten. There are truly some very disturbed peopel on this planet and the person who did this should be punished severely. This si not an act of violence it is an act of malice. The person who did this will go on to do other terrible things in the futurw +I feel bad for these sisters' family. Until we find out more from the autopsy report though, we probably shouldn't jump to conclusions. I don't know much about what could cause pulmonary edema, but maybe it was due to something they both ate, or an infection that they both came down with, or something unrelated to foul play. +The people who will lose homes because of this should be fully compensated and be fully relocated with full government assistance and be transfered to a different location that is still nearby their old homes that will be razed. It's just not fair if they will be leaving these people homeless and will probably have a hard time coping with the loss of their house if this plan gets approved. +I really didn't realize how quickly climate change could have an effect on certain areas of the world. I do believe that climate change is being caused by humans to a good extent, but I'm not sure if negative impacts will come as quickly as some people speculate. It's very interesting but I am concerned for the safety of some people if things continue this way. +I can't believe that these vultures would take advantage of individuals in predicaments where they were desperate and had to take out a high volume of loans in order to earn a better living, in their mind. I understand the concept, but the actual intent of the administrators of ITT Tech and other for-profit schools is devastating with regards to actually helping student's +I completely agree with what the quotes in the article. Things in this country are awful and unsafe for minorities. Things need to change. The entire country and justice system are set in racism. I wish people who claim they "don't care for politics" or support "blue lives" would actually stop to listen to what these people have to say. +We should all try to do more to decrease global warming for the sake the polar bear population and for our own human population as well. Please read this article about the polar bears and the problems they face and issues that they must endure related to global warming. The article is very descriptive and explains the issues very well. It is worth reading and sharing with others to bring exposure to the plight of the polar bears. +so theres this push to remove your money from banks involved in the pipeline screwing over the souix . Im thinking about it. kick the banks that are kicking the native americans seems like a good way to make a point. all the understand is the bottom line, and the pipeline company will lose their backers if they begin to lose too mkuch money +This is awful! I just read that a family lost two family pets and their home due to a horrible fire, still in investigation! This is one of those times when I let my mind wander and I think, what is going to happen to them? Where would they sleep at night? And the pain they must feel for not having the pets, and a place to call their own. +Reading stuff like this puts the refugee in perspective. There has to be something the international community can do that isn't taking in refugees permanently. The vast majority of these people just want to live and build something for themselves. It is of no fault of their own that they were unfortunate enough to be born within the fist of a crazed dictator. +Poor man, he had lot of success to get and more working plans in his life and couldn't achieve them because of his sudden death, at least his dead was natural, I guess, because that isn't specified in the article. My deepest condolences to his friends and family members, he will be missed in the comedians community. +The article about sleep disorders really hits home, because I know more than one person who would be diagnosed with a sleep disorder. All of these people just happen to be overnight workers, too. The fact that the lack of sleep and quality sleep can lead to a higher risk of stroke is very alarming. So many people need to seek help for sleep disorders, because where the disorder itself may not cause major health issues, it can lead to major health issues. +Reading the article, I was disgusted knowing that a father had not only killed himself but took away the lives of his two sons as well. The only reason why that man even killed himself was that the police saw him killing his two children. People in this world today shouldn't lose their lives due to a crazy/selfish elder. +This is very unnerving news. Drug addiction is a serious problem that both America and the rest of the world is facing. There are many victims from the children that are born to drug abusers to the drug abusers who can no longer take care of their children responsibly due to their addiction. Drug addiction is one of the major issues facing society and is one that must be addressed immediately and urgently. +So, about climate change, I just read an article about it. I have never really been concerned about climate change, I think it's a huge act that is exaggerated by the government, media, and everyone in between. The facts about fire increasing are a little scary though... but I still think climate change is irrelevant. Maybe fires just happen more +Did you hear about this shooting? It appears to be random and utterly senseless. An elderly man was killed and the suspect is now barricaded in his house. There was a lot of misinformation early on about it being related to the election and that the suspect was a woman. It's being reported now that both those claims are false. I really feel for that man and his family. +This does not surprise me. The people on RHONY are kind of trashy. So, it is not hard to believe they were married to a person who would do something like this. It does not really sound like a big deal either. He could have done much worse. Did she even lose money because of this? I would guess not. +This was a tough article to read because if you put yourself in that place, and you think of yourself losing a friend that is very close to you or a family friend. I know that whenever I think about not having someone that has been close to me I wonder how I would feel or react. I don't think that we let people know how we feel enough. +Gah. The whole Ke$ha mess. Oops, I man Kesha, without the $ sign. I dunno what to think about the eating disorder and whole rehab thing. Her professional life has been such a proverbial sh*tshow, it's really hard to me to believe that this is anything else than attention-seeking. She just seems to have that kind of personality. +I don't know much about the issues in Syria and other countries in the Middle East, but I'm not a fan of war or our place in these international conflicts. The United States has had military influence in the Middle East for way too long, and we were deceived by President Obama at the time he started office. He stated he would pull all troops out, but that never really happened. The troops may have decreased, but we have a strong presence there still. +Gay conversion therapy is terrible! I think anyone that is forced to go through would need therapy for the rest of their lives just to recover from the trauma of being told who you are is not acceptable! I cannot believe young children are being stripped of their identities, being told who to be, being shamed for who they are, and learning to hate themselves. They know who they are, and being told to put that part of themselves back in the closet is completely cruel and unjust. This is psychological torture. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to shame anyone into conversion therapy. I cannot stand Mike Pence and everything he stands for. He probably is a strong advocate because he is probably closeted! Why can't people just be ok with who they are? We should love everyone! +Police in Hope, Indiana, released a chilling photo of a mother passed out behind the steering wheel of her car from an apparent drug overdose with a syringe in her hand. Crying in the backseat: her 10-month-old son. Parents are doing this more often with children in the car because they are doing it away from someone who is going to disapprove,” marshal Matthew Tallent told IndyStar. “This is becoming a new norm for drug users +Thinking about air conditions in other countries I wonder if other countries who have the capability can help out. The article I read was about air quality and I wondered if it's hard to teach Indian citizens the affects of what they are doing. Maybe teaching them in school would help. It seems many people are suffering and changing for the better would benefit a lot of people. I guess us caring about those would also be beneficial to us because we all share the same planet. +Are you kidding me? This is on YOU LA County Department of Children and Family Services! How could you let this fall through the cracks! "Authorities found no cause for alarm — school officials told social workers he lived in a safe household." Yeah, that was said just before the boy DISAPPEARED. Then, NOTHING was done. He was alive and locked in a closet for three years! We need more oversight at LA County! This cannot happen to our children! The poor boy was drugged, even when they moved houses. I cannot believe there is a mother so cruel. You should not be allowed to have children! +While I obviously think that it is sad that an animal is dead since I love animals, what I mostly feel reading this story is aggravation. It really annoys and worries me that people insist climate change is a political issue when we can see its effects everywhere, including in the form of the current extinction crisis. I know that this particular one was due to a fungus, but it is part of a trend and might be related, so that is what this makes me think of. I always feel frustrated and worried about the future whenever I am reminded that extinctions like this and other problems are just going to keep happening because conservatives refuse to acknowledge that the problem even exists. It could be fixed, but probably won't be, and that irritates me. +I'm glad that the officers that responded to the scene did not get hurt. I am also happy that the loose Emu did not get hurt. This is a hard article to write about. I wish that all police calls ended with a happy ending like this story where everybody gets to go home. I wish the worlds problems where as simple as an escaped emu on the loose. I believe that most police officers are kind and good nature and want to do the right thing, like helping this emu, but they are human and with any humans you will have some bad ones. Once again just happy nobody got hurt. +OMFG. Seriously?! This cannot be real. I refuse to believe this is real. Someone made this crap up, right? Japanese culture historically famously disregards and degrades women (eg: Geisha girls), but FFS what year is this? <slowly bangs head on desk> Japanese women still cover their mouths when they laugh. Are Japanese men that threatened by empowering women? Cause I'm thinking apparently so. +Video Shows Cop Punching Woman In The Face, But She’s The One Arrested For ‘Assault’ — A uniformed Arizona police officer who was filmed punching a woman has been placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated. “Our agency is very concerned by what is depicted in this video,” police in Flagstaff, Arizona, said in a Wednesday evening press release. The footage, shot and posted to Facebook on Wednesday, shows a woman struggling with two officers who apparently believe there is an outstanding warrant for her arrest. She can be heard on video saying the issue has already been resolved. “You cannot arrest me until I know I have a warrant,” she tells the officers as she struggles with them. Suddenly, one of them strikes her in the face with a closed fist. Authorities have See. +I think the situation in allepo is really dire. I don't understand why the syrian government is trying to harm the people there whey they didn't do anything wrong. I think the whole situation is really sad and that a lot of innocent people are getting hurt for no reason. War is awful and I hope that there's a solution to it soon. I'm glad that the UN is trying to do something, but I just don't think that it's enough. +What an alarming statistic! I had no idea that such things even existed! While it's true that this seems to be much more of a problem in Russia than in the US, since it's on the internet it is still something that could potentially be accessed by our kids! Teenagers have enough to deal with without having to worry about being prodded into doing something horrible like committing suicide by these online idiots! I remember being a teenager and how hard it was, but I didn't have to deal with this! This is completely awful! +A car Taliban car bomb exploded in front of the German consulate in Afghanistan. It killed 100 people.These type of events are to come these days. I mean how does anyone process them any more. I'm personally numb to all this now. It might as well be fiction at this point. It seems like I hear about similar incidents like this everyday. I don't know. +Its sad that now and moving forward in my lifetime we will see many older actors and actresses succumb to death in its many forms. It makes me feel for those people and gain a sense of time in a view that is not endless. I can put myself in the shoes of someone older and battling health problems and it saddens me to do so. +I like some of these new approaches to reducing the harmful effects of bullying, but it's still not enough. Just having a shocking video that raises awareness doesn't help the problem from starting, just helps us react to it quicker. We need to keep building programs that are designed to support our children, but we need to do it before they start to bully (or be bullied). So many of our anti-bullying stories talk about standing up to them and bullying back...that is not the way! +I am a little confused as to how these hacks happen, but it sucks when they do. I am a Yahoo user and think they have had to take precautionary measures multiple times in recent years to stop issues. Data breaches are troubling and can affect us all so I am not happy about the article's details that make me somewhat nervous. +This is sort of scary. I think it could have something to do with water contamination. There are so many types of bacteria. There are also so many different types of pesticides used in farming. I do think it's strange that this happened in a small area, which again, would lead me to think contamination of the ground or water. I wonder about the reference to the cattle, thinking that might have something to do with it. Scary stuff! +We should cherish all the works that the police force offers to us each and every day. While we sleep at night, police officers patrol up and down our streets and neighborhoods making sure that we are safe and sound. We may fear police officers when we see them but fear not because they serve the country as our law and enforcement. +It sounds to me like this man got what he deserved. What did he expect would happen when he ran from the police and didn't follow orders? People who get shot in these situations are simply getting what they deserve and are saving the tax payers a lot of money on their trials and being housed in prisons for the rest of their lives. +Hey I was just reading an article about a teacher bashing president Trump. You know my position when it comes to Trump, you know I dislike the man and all; however, I do not believe a teacher can use his position to bash someone especially on school grounds. I believe he can state his opinion, but not disguise it as the truth. That could be very dangerous. +It is so hard to think that you are not safe anywhere in the world, you expect to be able to go out into the world and enjoy yourself without having to worry about someone hurting you are those around you. That is not a concern anyone should have to face, but it seems to be becoming more of an issue day by day. +Hey I feel like Trump winning was way worse than people thought. The amount of violent attacks on minorites and in general have increased considerably. There have been over 200 attacks since election day can you imagine that? I hate that trunp supporters somehow feel vindicated with their awful racism. +very bad act abut killing that happened Now that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friend or something you would post on social media. Please do not identify your intended friend(s) - just write your thoughts about the article as if you were communicating with them Now that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friend or something you would post on social media. Please do not identify your intended friend(s) - just write your thoughts about the article as if you were communicating with them .... +While the article seems to be slightly sympathetic to the inmates, I say no way. I don't particularly care what happens to most prisoners, let alone the violent ones that attack each other and guards. There is no reason why any guard should ever have to put themselves in danger. These aren't people, these are violent animals, and the guards should be protected. They aren't the ones being punished for what is likely a severe wrongdoing. Restraints, solitary, whatever it takes, I don't feel one tiny twinge of sadness. And lawsuits? Don't even get me started on that one! +The artical is he US closed its education gender gap in 2016. This means there is a large pool of educated female talent, even though fewer women are actually working, as can be seen in the table showing the United States' scores below. The annual report looks at progress towards equality between men and women in four key areas: educational attainment, health and survival, economic opportunity, and political empowerment. +The human rights groups are right. It is brutal. I'm glad we don't punish people like that in our country, but I also feel like this guy in question deserves it. The problem is that punishments like that end up being applied to people who don't deserve it too. In this particular case, I don't feel bad for the guy at all. He's a monster. +The Girl with the beautiful green eyes that was pictured years ago by a photographer is currently under arrest for falsifying documents to stay in pakistan. I feel bad for this woman who felt a need to lie about her status of citizenship to stay in a country just to continue living a better life. This is the second time she has been arrested which shows me that she is really trying to escape a war ravaged country and to continue on living a better life. They should let the girl go. Good for the original photographer who is trying to help her out of this situation. +it is really diheartening to read about these immigrants from this article who drowned. it makes me feel anxious and upset how the whole ordeal happened. it is a terrible occurrence that this had to happen at the mediterranean sea. thankfully there were some survivors. the fact that babies were lost makes it that much more emotional to read all of this +I just can't imagine how you would go from having a good day snorkeling with your loved one and be dead the next just how that would happen? Then not to mention your spouse dies right alongside you in the same mystical way, it just seems like there is more to it then that. It would seem like something had to of happened. +This was an interesting article. I am a supporter of capital punishment, yet I find lethal injection to be absolutely ridiculous. It costs an insane amount of money just to execute somebody with this method, when a few bullets for less than a couple dollars would do the job just as well if not better. +Whenever kids are involved in a nasty breakup there are never any winners. The person who gets the short end of the stick in this case will probably be the child who will be forced to split time and maybe even countries between the two parents. People should try and consider the child's feelings before using them as pawns in a custody fight. +I read an article that linked sleep disorders and strokes. It said that if a person has a sleep disorder, they are less likely to recover from a stroke. The article said that sleep disorder were a very serious problems, and many people are affected. I felt upset, because I have had insomnia so long, and it may be making it more likely for me to have serious health issues in the future. +So remember the Flint MI water problem from years back? The one where the idiots decided to use their own water supply from a dam which leaked led. Well apparently now the government is flipping out that its a nationwide problem. Or should I say the "scientists" are flipping out since we have never heard of lead in the water anywhere outside of the Flint MI disaster +I just read an article about Trump protesters that had fireworks shot at them. This story breaks my heart. Some of the protestors also were spit on and endured racial slurs. I do not understand how a group could commit such a mean act of violence. The group that shot the fireworks were never caught, which makes this story even worse. People should be able to express their views in safety. +So I feel birth is birth. What difference does it make it you gave it vaginal or c-section. So people can be so evil in this world. You were pregnant and carried that baby in your belly for 8 to 9 months. Some ladies are faced with a life or death even choice. We have to do what is right for our babies but mostly for ourselves. I know you think wow selfish much, No this i why. If you are not here you can not raise and happy healthy family. Next if you are not your best or at 100% you really can not give your all. +I have nothing against immigration, so long as it's done legally. I have nothing against illegal immigrants either and often feel there should be pathways to citizenship so long as the illegal immigrant commits no wrongdoings and contributes to the success of the economy of the place they are staying in. The problem with Calais in France is that quite often, terrorists disguised as immigrants make their way in through this area and then commit acts of terror which harm French citizens. French people want to help those that have been displaced in the Middle East, but Calais is a mess. +The article was quite eye opening for someone who may not be extremely into politics. The confederate flag seems to somehow have different meanings to different people, which I never really understood. To get upset because the flag was being hung in college campuses, makes sense to me. I would get upset as well. For students to be afraid for their welfare and or they education at their college because of President elect Trump, also makes sense to me. The whole campaign seems to be one big controversy. +I don't know who this celebrity is, but isn't this crazy? Of course it'd happen in Florida! We always hear these "Florida man" stories, and here's another one. What are people thinking, anyway? What was this guy hoping to do? Pretty weird world we live in nowadays. I'd never want to live down there with all the crazy stuff that goes on! +I don't really feel much of anything at all reading this, I think celebrity deaths are so common in the news that it is really difficult to conjure up any emotion about them. I guess I feel mild interest? I learned a few facts about the singer of a song I have heard fairly often over the years, so it is interesting to have new information, which always feels rewarding in a way. I guess I should feel sad but I just don't think it's possible for me to feel sadness every time I read about someone being dead. It makes me feel a bit tired I suppose. +This sounds like a murder-suicide situation. That's what it always is when you hear there is no danger to the public. How awful that people choose to do this to each other and how awful that some poor kid had to be a witness to it all. That child will never be the same again. I wonder why people who choose to do something like this can't just kill themselves and leave everyone around them alone. It's sick. +So many priests murdered in Mexico in the last 10 years. I don't know that I would have the courage to protest anything if my land was controlled by drug cartels, who surely do not care about anyone else other than themselves. It takes courage to be an activist, but I think I could do more good by staying alive and picking my fights wisely. +Felt bad reading the article because tons of people are losing basically their lives. The wild fires are destroying their farm, things, and even their animals. Without all of those things they cant have a proper living through buying and selling crops or animals. I hope we can donate to an organization nor something to help them +Hey, I wanted to share this article with you that I just found. It is about the issue with junk food ads and targeting kids. We were talking about this the other day. Well apparently it will not be ending any time soon. It is a billion dollar industry and there is very little anyone can do about it. There are organizations out there that is trying to prevent this and fight against childhood obesity. The WHO organization is blaming video bloggers/vloggers who get paychecks from junk food companies. They are claiming that they are more powerful than ads. I'm not sure I believe that but it could be possible, you think? +Wow, this is tragic. I really hope that China will improve their safety standards, but I know this is a big problem all over in developing countries. Remember when that factory burned down in Bangladesh? And we can't pretend this isn't our problem too, when we support them economically. If we buy products created in unsafe working conditions, we have a hand in those deaths too. +I feel like a similar scenario happens at least once a year in Hollywood. When I hear about stories that happen in Hollywood, the lifestyles are so different than mine that it's almost like it's not real, like it's a movie. People in Hollywood always have something to complain about so it's hard to feel sympathy for them, even when something like this happens. +Hey check this out, you are a big Leonard Cohen fan right? This is sad, but this is life. I often think about the deaths of old people, should we be sad? should we celebrate their life? What is the appropriate emotion to experience at this point. I know I was sad when my two grand fathers died, but that is personal. +I think that these types of tragic accidents are far and few. I might be wrong, though I don't hear of too many of them. I think that they may need to reevaluate some of their maintenance techniques to try and make this even more uncommon. It must of really devastated the family and friends of those who lost their lives. +This is really ridiculous. A lawyer with a history of being a nut job went crazy at the mall in Houston Texas and shot nine people, and one of them was injured critically. And all this just because of some issues he was having where he worked, like it is so hard for a lawyer to just move on to another firm instead of going crazy and shooting up innocent people. +Wow, I just read an article describing the problems Venezuela is having with its new leader. About 80% of the people are dissatisfied with his leadership and want him out. But there isn't a smooth process put into place for that. Even the Vatican is trying to assist, but to no avail so far. I can't help but think of all the problems the US has lately, but we do have a constitution and a system for change. I am not sure how Venezuela will fix things peacefully, and how its citizens will fare through all this. The article made comparisons with Cuba, and previous leadership, but I did not fine a clear solution. +So they are trying to expand a runway at Heathrow airport in London which will destroy over 700 peoples homes. This is just crazy to me and I hope that it never actually happens and that the people who live there can fight it. It just seems to me that this is just another case of government over reach. These politicians are probably going to benefit financially somehow from this deal . It is the only explanation that makes any sense to me. Why else would you destroy a whole community? +I just read the article on the oil spill. Even though I do agree with oil digging, when things go wrong, it does have severe consequences. I feel mostly bad for the birds and sea life, which will obviously be affected. You would think with all the money these oil companies profit from, they would take more safety precautions, in trying to avoid accidents from happening. I know the industry creates a lot of jobs and most often, nothing goes wrong. But when it does, it can be catastrophic for the wildlife in the area and those that live in the area. Or even those areas that rely on tourism, if people can’t go into the oceans or there is oil spilling onto their beaches. Not sure what the answer is, or if there even is an answer to it. It just makes me sad to see those beautiful birds +It sounds like she wasn't cut out to be a cop. The way I see it, it was obvious that the guy was decompensating in some way, but he didn't display anything that indicated he was violent - that had to all be in her head. Yes, when the cops order you to do something, it's probably better to comply, especially if they have draw weapons including tasers. No one disputes that his hands were up, and the other officer assessed the situation to require a taser, not a gun, and apparently, this scenario goes against training, so the problem was in the officer, not the victim. People wonder why the police aren't trusted, and this is it. They're human too, and they make mistakes, but their mistakes kill people unjustly. I feel bad for the family of the victim and I hope they see justice done. +President Donald Trumps actions during his election and so far during the presidency has been nothing short of childish. I don't think he has any idea of what a filter is, and I don't think he cares what anyone thinks about him. Him winning the president election was probable one of the worst things that could have happened to our country at this time and moment, but things could be worse. Like the previous article, we could be comparing President Trump to Hitler, which in my opinion is absolutely terrible. +There was a terrible bus crash near the town where I grew up. It looks like a black sedan hit the bus and people were hurt. Apparently the injured people were taken to a nearby hospital where I used to work. No word was released on the condition of the individuals but I sure hope it was no one we know or that no one is seriously hurt. Please say a prayer for all involved and be grateful that no lives were lost. +What do you think about Guantanamo Bay? Should they shut it down or continue to use it for interrogating supposed terrorist. I do have sympathy for some of the prisoners who may not particularly be terrorist. From an article I read some of these prisoners or most of them are mentally ill. One thing I learned from this article I read is that some of the psychologists may be assisting with torturing the prisoners. Some believe that some of these physicians and psychiatrist should bear the brunt of the blame for torture at Guantanamo Bay. +I'm so sad to hear about this, it just drives me crazy. I wish that we would just do something once and for all to help save these people from such suffering. I guess in the mean time all that I can do personally is just pray for the people though and hope that soon things will get better, somehow. Doesn't this just make you so mad? +Having traveled through Afghanistan in the mid-1970s and having had a son deployed in Afghanistan during the US incursion, I can tell you that the country is profoundly backward and disorganized even at the best of times. This influx of refugees will cause chaos on a massive scale. The USA should help. If we are willing to invade and contribute to the destabilization of the country in our own interests, we should also be willing to come in as a magnanimous gesture and help out these poor people in the time of their need. +What this also taught me is that I think poverty teaches you to value anything and everything you have .. importance of friends , importance of one time meal, importance of tiniest thing in your life .. It teaches you to survive on bare minimum. Poverty teaches gratitude. Some of the most happy people in the world are those people who have the least. When you aren't flooded with tons of material goods you can focus more on the simple things that you do have. Look at Brazil the have to struggle to eat but it's what keeps them humble. +I feel so sad for the world. The world needs a revolution and good people in charge of the countries. Bad people need to disappear from this world, we need specials force to deal with injustice from this world. A lot of people is in pain because of different beliefs, race, culture and bad presidents. People around the world should have the same opportunities to be happy and have a fair life. I would like to help every injustice in the world. Big countries in the would should help all the people that are suffering because of injustice. I can see a lot of pain around the world and I just can say that a lot of people with resources are extremely selfish. We need powerful people dealing with this kind of situations. On the other hand, people should make disappear ISIS from the map ASAP. +As a woman myself, I really sympathize with these women. While I find it very difficult to imagine what they go through as a woman, I can get some vague idea. I would hate to think that I had to have a male escort when I left my home. They aren't treated as equals, and often men don't even consider them equal as their family pet! <Many of the women can be abused, physically and sexually, and they are considered to be the problem, not the abuser! I hope they are able to win by the petition, and will be able to have a bit more freedom! +Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous and strong illnes. It is scary to think that someone might be carrying that kind of desease just because of them having a hard time letting go of smoking. Also, thinking that even the non-smoking people can get sick and worst they can even have cancer too. Just thinking how things worked regarding cancer is traumatising me. +Lydia Jones, a spokeswoman for BAFTA Cymru, said Friday that the organization had been told there would be no further details on Mr. Jones’s condition. Primary progressive aphasia is a rare nervous system syndrome that affects a person’s ability to express his or her thoughts and understanding, or to find words, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms begin gradually, often before age 65, and worsen over time. The news of the diagnosis was also reported by the BBC and Britain’sNational Press Association. The announcement of Mr. Jones’s illness dominated Monty Python fan siteson Friday, where it was described as “sad” and “terrible” news. Eric Idle, a co-founder of the ribald, outrageous and internationally acclaimed British troupe, tweeted thanks to fans for their support while noting Mr. +I really feel bad for Turkey. I think they are trying to do everything they can to get rid of terrorism in the country. It seems that their efforts are for naught. They want to keep the people safe and yet more terrorist groups keep popping up. Then the lawmakers are involved and there is only so much you can do. Turkey is constantly at war. I'm wondering if this will end up with the US trying to do something over there or bringing that trouble here. It is upsetting really to hear about all this going on in the world when people just want peace. There is always terrorism and someone trying to bring down a country, but the country tries its hardest to fight back despite opposition. +The person in the article was participating in a fund raising event and the event was about getting pies thrown into the faces by people. I guess that things got a little bit rough because the guy that was getting the pie in the face got injured somehow. It was pretty bad and he had to seek out the medical help for the injuries to his face. +I just read an article about a mother and father that sexually abused their daughter from the age of 11. It is just disgusting. I can't imagine how in the world someone would be okay doing this to their child. Those parents deserve a fate worse than death. What is WRONG with people? They deserved to be tortured until the day they die. So disgusting. +These poor people! It seems like they really can't catch a break. Like it isn't bad enough that they are already trying to dig themselves out of their tough economic situation and losing their homes, but now they also have to worry about a population decrease. It's pretty clear that we need more aid and more help for these people in the area. +I am very concerned about our staple crops that we use to survive off of. The climate change is likely going to kill off our crops. We are already seeing signs, and it doesn't look good. The University in Arizona is already seeing this, and no one is listening. Only a few news channels are spreading the news. This is going to affect those non technological countries first, which is a shame since none of this is their fault. +I heard almost 80 people died from an explosion. It was caused by lightening or something. Crazy huh? I hope nothing like that every happens here during a fuel crisis. Over 100 were injured. So sad. I wonder what all those people who survived are going to do. Maybe the red cross will set up something. How can I find out? +HOpefully this fighting ends soon its getting to be too much the negative impact is getting bigger and bigger. If things dont stop before long then the fighting wont be in that area itll spread even wider as all the larger countries get involved and the fighting just wont stop. maybe we should start a petition or something to get some attention on this issue +We definitely need to make sure we step up our efforts to vet who we let in this country, especially as far as refugees go. Just like you wouldn't leave your door open and invite intruders, we should not let refugees into our country without vetting them. We don't know if they're part of ISIS or not. It may seem like racial profiling, but only Middle Easterners belong to ISIS, so it is appropriate in this case. +I feel bad for that baby. The way it sounds, especially with the bottle of milk being in there, it sounds like someone had the baby and couldn't keep it so they left it there. I wish people would use the fire station safe haven option. I thought it was interesting that they mentioned that a 14 year old heard the cries. I wonder if the 14 year old was the one who had the baby and had to hide it. +The driven into exile last year, and he is now based in the southern port city of Aden. Saudi Arabia’s Sunni Muslim monarchy entered the war in large part because of concerns of Iranian influence in the region. That Shiite theocracy is widely perceived to be backing the Shiite rebels. The airstrikes in come on the same day i rejected a new U.N. peace proposal that would have sidelined him and given the prominent roles in a new government. More than 10,000 people have died in the conflict, many of them civilians who were killed by Saudi-led coalition bombings, according to the United Nations. that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friendS. +I am torn when it comes to this one. I feel bad because that is a horrible way to die and his sister definitely did not need to see that. But I also do not understand why they would be so careless and wander off on a trail where it is clearly marked that they shouldnt be leaving. If they would have paid more attention and didnt carelessly not listen to rules than this situation could have been avoided. +Wow… Yet another angle from which to look at climate change. And of course, it’s threatening and not pretty. But it’s also really interesting to see how all the stakeholders in a big industry like coffee are aware of climate change and its dangers, have been for a while, and are actively working at trying to minimize its impact on their business. And yet, others have their heads firmly buried in the sand and pretend nothing’s happening. +I totally get this in a lot of ways. I used to roll my eyes at people who were frothing at the mouth over Obama being elected, and how they seemed to make grand statements of the world ending RIGHT NOW because a black man was in the white house. Now...I don't know. I see my friends and family freaking out and I want to tell them to just chill out. Obama didn't destroy America--the right wingers were wrong about that. Neither will Trump. Life will keep going. It brings a lot of stress listening to people freaking out all the time. And yet, I get it. I get why they are worried and freaking out. I don't like it either, but I don't get the point of stressing out so much. But then again, I've completely dissociated from all this. I don't really read the news anymore. +Hello Alexander, oh how I need to tell you this story I read, its crazy you know. Anyway so I read this story about Myanmarl; they are having a huge investigation about child slavery, its very sad we live in a world that is filled with monsters like this. The goods news about this is that the police arrested two family members. I feel good about that coming out. I hope they find more and put them into justice. +There has been a lot of fires that are happening in the south. Many people are being told that they have to wear special masks if they want to go outside because of the smoke from the fires. People are also investigating to see what really caused the fire many people are suspecting that it's arson that is causing a lot of these fires to happen. A lot of organizations are asking people to donate water and drinks for the firefighters to quench their thirst while fighting fires. It truly is a sad thing and hopefully this problem will be resolved sooner than later. +I'm at a loss for words when I think of all the senseless lives lost from gun violence. As a gun supporter maybe I should take a step back and ask myself the hard questions about guns and there impact and availability in today's society. I know that statistically more people die from other causes compared to gun violence, but are guns way to accessible in America compared to other countries? When the 2nd amendment was written could they imagine the way guns could have progressed or how they are being used today? Seeing so many mass shootings makes me feel that maybe it's time to change some of the gun laws and help make things like 40 children killed or injured a thing of the past. +That is really sad to hear. It's awful that cars can be so unsafe and sometimes people forget how easy it is to get into an accident if everyone isn't careful and observant. It said this happened at 6:30pm so I wonder if maybe the sun was shining right in someone's eyes because that has happened to me at sunset and I could barely see. It's difficult to pull over and stop in those conditions as well. +A gut feeling, or gut reaction, is a visceral emotional reaction to something. It may be negative, such as a feeling of uneasiness, or positive, such as a feeling of trust. Gut feelings are generally regarded as not modulated by conscious thought, but sometimes as a feature of intuition rather than rationality. +The eyes are a part of our body we definitely take for granted. At the same time, they are extremely important and truly open our vision to the world. It would be devastating for a young person to suffer an eye injury simply playing a sport. People should be extremely vigilant to prepare children to play such sports and avoid suffering any life altering injuries. +Is it too much to ask for a judge that follows the Constitution? Check this article out and see if you agree. Focusing on fringe issues is not going to unite us. I wish we could move past this and leave people's personal beliefs out of it and focus only on the law. that would be nice for a change, woudln't it? +I just read an article about the attacks in a syrian town. It sounds horrible what they are going through. It talks about women and children dying. I tried to immagine what it would be like to live in such horror. It mentions many post on social media of pictures and videos. I would be interested in seeing some of the pictures and videos of this violence. Reading stuff like this really makes you appreciate being in America. +I feel horrible that this is happening. It probably a lot to do with what America has done in that country. They are the ones who armed the rebels and caused this problem. America created the terrorists groups. I know I am not responsible but it makes me sick to know that intelligence agencies from our own countries instigated this problem. I feel sympathy for all those who have been killed and the families who's lives have been ruined. +It's a weird ironic twist that once illegal animals are seized they may fare worse than if the smugglers were allowed to get away with them. It brings out the selfishness of humans and their inability to share this wonderful world with its other inhabitants. These animals should be properly cared for, and perhaps some of the financing could come from fines imposed upon the people who illegally absconded with them in the first place. +I am not sure what to think of this article as I have probably a different opinion than most would. First of all why wouldn't she report this at the time it happened, instead of waiting years and years later to come forward? I get the whole he's a powerful person and nobody would believe her part, but who's really going to believe her years later and why would she come out with it now and not before? What change? Why is she willing to exploit this man years later but wasn't able to do it years before? +I was reading about a few people that were killed as a result of Typhoon Meranti. I think it's fortunate that not too many people were killed during this storm. It seems like people have generally gotten better about heeding warnings about these powerful storms. However, it seems like infrastructure damage is something that needs to be analyzed. +Oh, please. It is getting hot - climate change. It is getting cold - climate change. There is a fire - climate change. Forget that fact that the climate has changed since the begging of time, and that people throw cigarettes out the window all the time too. These chicken little articles are also amusing and upsetting at the same time. +In Iraq, Islamic State militants are kidnapping thousands of people at gunpoint to use as shields against the U.S. takeover as the militants move to their last stronghold of Mosul. This is something that complicates the U.S. airstrikes because it is not certain how many civilians might be injured or killed since they are being used as shields by the militants. As the militants are squeezed tighter and tighter together in their last stronghold, more and more villages are suffering, entire villages of people are being taken and used as these shields. It is a terrible situation and I cannot imagine the suffering as people are missing and lost forever from families and leaving many children as orphans. +It saddens me to think about a young rino passing away. I can not help but question the circumstances surrounding its death. My heart goes out to the person who worked hard to try to save its life and is grieving over the loss of that hard battle. As a wildlife rehabilitator I know the struggle all too well. I understand how it feels to forgo sleep and food because you are working to save an animal. It is painful. But if you can save even one, it will make it all worth it in the end. +A hurricane is about to hit Taiwan soon. It's supposed to be really big, the biggest since 1969. We just had some really awful hurricanes in the West too. The ones here were caused by global warming, so I wonder if China's are too? It's horrible that so many people will lose their homes or their lives just so rich executives can make a few bucks more. +Hey my BFF Joan, how have you been I read this interesting article and man I feel weird living in a country like I do now. All these issues and money being wasted for what? I really feel like we as people and a nation can do much better then this. I hope we can evolve to become better people in this world. +The real problem with people born with critical illness is that we try so hard to give them a normal life. However these people are not normal. And to force them into feeling normal while a nice sentiment, is hardly productive. Instead we should focus on how these people can live differently than trying to merge them into general society. Society it's self is a disgusting community of work till you die. No matter what it is you chose to do. Take Autism for example, we try so hard to normalize them. However with my experience these people are brilliant in their own ways that we can't understand. They see things in an alien like manor of ultra basic instinct. This instinct should have it's own way of flourishing instead of bowing down to the rest of us. +The story that was told in the article that I read was I thought was pretty sad considering it highlighted a better time in life where things were not so violent in the world. There are so many acts of terror these days that it is hard to keep track of and the incident described feels the same way. Unfortunately there are so many bad people in this world that feel like they should be able to do all these bad things to other people because of some message they are trying to spread but really just causing a lot of pain for everyone. +I just read an article about someone jumping a fence and into someone's yard before stabbing several of the homeowners security guards. Just reminds me of how decrepit society has become. It's as if we've lost all touch with morality and compassion towards one another and such crimes are a grim reminder of the reality. +I think lung cancer is not really caused too highly by air pollution. I feel that the number one pollutants that cause lung cancer is purely smoking. Im glad I quit smoking years ago. They say these scientific reports and studies provide that the air pollution caused early stage lung cancers, however I really just don't believe it. +More trouble at the North Dakota pipeline protests! They have brought in riot police who are trying to break up the protestors. It looks like they are using rubber bullets and arresting a lot of people. It is scary that we can not peacefully protest in this country without fear of injury or arrest. I hope everyone is okay. +These home grown terrorists are becoming more and more of a problem. How do we monitor better people who are already in this country? Stopping immigration is not going to solve this problem. It is the people right here in our own country who are killing each other. That problem has to be solved!!! How do we keep tabs on people and catch them before they kill their fellow citizens? +showing just how amazing females have been doing especially in sports.It makes you wonder just how hard they have been working and becoming role models for young girls.That they would do whatever it took to become something and people like rounda rousey and how much she achieved just shows what it means to be a champion. +Did you hear about the horrible earthquake in New Zealand? IT was devastating and I am so heartbroken and sad for all of those people.It's going to be difficult to get aid to some places because the roads are severely damaged. Those people must be so terrified and worried. I'm sure they're hungry and in serious need of water and food and many are in need of shelter. I pray that God gives them all peace and comfort during this time. +ISIS is a group of deeply mentally ill serial killers. I simply don't see them the way I see Al-Aqaeda. Now, Al-Aqaeda is also a group of mentally ill people and they're also disgusting but they're damn serious in their mission. ISIS feels like a group of guys who kill just for fun. I agree with Obama on ISIS being a jv team. I can't help but feel terrible for those who have to witness the bodies all over Mosul. What a horrible sight that must be. Can people heal once they see that? Do those people have any hope or any way to continue after they witness such atrocities? What about the children? I feel so bad for them. It's so crazy. I wish they would wipe out the Middle East and just start over. Enough with the political correct bullshit. Enough with the religious bullshit. +I read an article about a man who was caught smashing Donald Trump's star in Hollywood. He had a sledgehammer and was smashing it. I thought it sounded pretty funny. The article described some of the ways people are protesting, from covering the star with graffiti, to putting a Bernie Sanders sticker on it, to putting a barbed wire fence around it. I don't like that he even has a star, and I think if I were to go to Hollywood, I'd like to do something like this as well. +this article was very interesting because it talks on how climate change can have influenced the extinction of the melomys in theyre habitat. it talks alot about it and basically lets us know that climate change wasnt the cause of extinction and that us, humans could have prevented this from happenning but just decided not to. +People in America are going to have it worse despite all the federal “inequality spending” done during the Obama administration. The article says that Trump and the congress are going to undo what Obama started. The article says that they are also trying to undo Obama care and that’s part of it. I know Obamacare made me poorer by about $600 a month and I’m not rich! It goes on about SS and how evil tax cuts are. I don’t know what to think about this since the news these days are often fiction. It seems to contradict itself by saying unemployment rates have dropped. With more people working isn’t there more tax revenue? Confused but I feel for the poor... +Remember that story that I told you about my neighbor Paul from my old neighborhood and how he had served in IRAQ and had come home and had PTSD? I found this article that explains it pretty good and think you might be interested in reading it to deal with the new coworker that you have that has similar issues. +It's so insane that people today, specifically white people, find the need to continue to discriminate against a group of people that they have already tormented for hundreds of years. There is something I call "little man syndrome" mostly referring to when short men feel the need to overcompensate for their height by being very aggressive and loud. The white people that commit these kinds of crimes suffer from a severe case of little man syndrome. +Check out this article. I wonder someday when all of these theoretic articles will change how things are done? Should we be doing massive changes in the way our government works, the way people are allowed to function? the products we are able to buy and the activities we are allowed to partake in? Will private jets disappear? +Did you see this sad story? This holocaust survivor has died. She lived a fruitful life recreating a town and now she is dead. Do you ever think of how sad life can be. This person survived the awful genocidal regime of Hitler. Why do human beings seek to contribute so much pain to one another. It is a sad and horrible way of being. +This is definitely an upsetting thing that has happened. We like to think that when we go to a theme park, all the rides are completely safe and maintained well. But there is always a risk, however small, that something tragic could happen. Even in a safe environment like a well-maintained park, we need to keep up our guard and use good judgment. +I can't believe that this place was ever given a license to carry out their business in the first place. These poor dogs died a slow painful death because the owners of this kennel were so careless. Did they not see the dogs suffering? How would they like to be locked up in a room in those temps? Make sure you are taking your pets to a reputable kennel if you do need to board them - I would have to see something like this happen to anyone else!! +Michael Buble's three year old son has cancer. This is so horrible and sad. I can't imagine what they are feeling right now. My uncle died of prostate cancer and I know nothing will ever be the same. Cancer on such a young boy seems so cruel if there is a God out there. I am really hoping their son pulls through and they keep on fighting together as a family. +I find that it is of a truth, and am writing to you regarding this situation that is erupting in Yemen, that after the peace talks collapsed security and safety for citizens in these areas has greatly decreased. I find that how America feels about it, and others around the world, is more correct, than in error. Whereby they are appalled by all the violence and blood shed. I feel personally that each party should consider the welfare of the people at large, than any self-aggrandizements, and personal power plays. It they can become more self-less, and less selfish, they will make decisions that are in the best interest and safety of the people of Yemen, aside and apart of whatever their political idealogies may be, when they are saving lives, and not just garnering votes, or political power +I have think is very good article and nice.he has promised the to be the most vigilant interrogator of the Obama administration from his perch on an oversight committee, which republican cheered. this sentence i am very like. Numerous ballot initiatives focused on progressive caused could also give republican few reasons to turn out. The reason must important for the areas. +Did you finally see what happened to that sicko that stole all of those nude photos from those celebrities? Those poor people got tricked into getting their photos stolen and this man went and was showing them to everyone. He finally was convicted of this and it serves him right. What an idiot. Just remember you don't ever take any photos like this and never upload them even if you did. Keep this stuff private and off of the internet. I sure am glad this guy finally got what was coming to him. +Well that sucks for this people in the south. It seems like there's always something that's messing with the gas prices. Hopefully they'll get it repaired soon though and things will go back to normal. At least there wasn't severe environmental damage, that's a good thing. If I were down there, I would probably just ride a bike for a few weeks. +Reading an article that is basically on the fear and risk of the Zika Virus and how it is currently an issue. It doesn't affect my fellings at all. It is clearly and issue but they'll make a vaccine for those who don't become immune by way of their own system, then the virus will become resistant to the vaccinations and it will be a never ending up and down cycle that we see all the time. I simply just can't let something like this, despite the risk, affect my feelings and emotions. +It's weird how I don't really feel sorry for these people. Timeshares just seem like a terrible idea and I've always associated it with conspicuous consumption. Really...just rent a hotel room when you can go. Buying into a house with other people sounds like a total hassle and a problem waiting to happen. But I can't stand how grimy the companies are and how they jerk people around. It just shows that the whole timeshare concept is about digging into people's pockets. And the only way to get them to stop doing that is to put them out of business if they don't want to play fair. +What I learned from this story is that this world is really fucked up. Imagine forceful sex at an age when your organs are not developed and when you have complete faith in everyone around you results in both physical and mental trauma. You think that any person who is around you and is trying to act sweet with you will end up being a molester. That is why a victim behaves like that. It's vile man. +I feel like entraprenerurship is the future. Apparently they are making it so you can quit your job and get unemployment benefits. It's pretty awesome. I guess they want to encourage people to start unique businesses on their own in an effort to diversify the workfroce in the country. Pretty cool if you ask me. +This doesn't sound too worrisome to me. If you are affected by depression, then you should decide as an individual to find another option. It's just a side effect, I think there are many medicines out there that have depression as a side effect. It is something that individuals should be aware of, but nothing critical. +Although I do think that companies have the right to advertise their product willingly, I also think that targeting kids is wrong. I think that good health should come first and the advertisement should condone this. Advertisements should not target kids, given that they don't really know what is good for them yet. +These poor people in Syria. On the lookout all the time, every time you hear a bang or a noise they must shake. This is so bad these poor people were just going to school. The place you should feel safe. Your trying to make yourself better to learn something. If Russia targeted this school then I hope they get what they deserve. They should think about their families when carrying out an attack such as this. +JUst when you think things couldn't get much worse! I just can't imagine who in the world would kill, then mutilate a baby horse! It pretty much sounds like someone with a mental health issue is running around crazy with a gun. It is nice to know so many nonprofits are not only engaged in finding this criminal, but also to prevent this from happening again, I think the adult horses were in better shape and that's why they survived. What kind of lazy loon would mutilate the little horse's genitals? +Just found this article; not surprised by this at all. I can't believe there are truly female trump voters but I'm not surprised; racism is something they all bind together with. She really should just leave the party if she actually has any sense. Feel free to share this with someone else as well if you want. +I am not over there, so I don't fully know what's going on. I do know that we should be helping these poor people out of the water and not letting them die from exhaustion or whatever else is causing their death, especially not 2 month old babies. this is just appalling that countries cannot come to aid these people. Yes, they know the risk involved, but because of other countries bombing their land out they are trying to find a better and safer situation for themselves and for their families. I don't blame them trying to better themselves from the war-torn countries that they come from. I have sympathy for all of these people. +How horrible what happened on that cruise ship. I can't believe the crew members were allowed to blatantly be homophobic to the patrons like that. They should be sued! I'm glad this came to light. I hope people do not patronize that business again knowing their true colors. It should not have taken a death for them to come around. +A nineteen-year-old college student from Texas A&M ran into a police car while she was taking a topless photo of herself which she was sending to her boyfriend. The police said she also had an open bottle of wine her the cup holder of her car. She told the police she was taking a photo to send to her boyfriend while she was stopped at a stop light. She was arrested on the suspicion of driving while intoxicated and then released on a $2,000 bond. The accident happened about 100 miles north of Houston, Texas. +What's going on in Venezuela is just tragic. The government has no concern for it's citizen's. These are just kids trying to get an education. They can't get a proper meal. Waiting in line doing anything to help their children. How can we let this go on. No one can be expected to learn or do anything productive if they can't even get the basic necessities +Hey can you believe the crazy weather we've been having during the past few summers? It's getting really ridiculous and out of hand. They temperatures have been crazy and the flooding is really messing with people's lives. We really should be paying more attention to it and need to come up with some solutions fast. +This always makes me mad guys, that the cops think they can shoot because of color. Its absolutely ridiculous! Of course, the cop isn't being charged for murder, and predijuce still stands in this country. It is extremely sad that the world has to come to this.. just killing off anybody because they think they're above the law. +Hey B, remember that conversation we had the other day, well I found an article that talks about it. It basically says that humans have destroyed 10 percent of Earth's wilderness in the last 25 years. The article said that the total land area is about half the size of the Amazon and twice the size of the whole state of Alaska. That is about 1.3 million square miles of wilderness, that just disappeared. The article also revealed that humanity has one to two decades more to turn it around before it is too late. I hope something is done soon and I'll send you a link to the article. +it seems a horny male college student has finally taken up the courage not to pursue love, but to rape his potential lover, what a disgusting act and moral corruption, the amount of emotional trauma done to the female victim is permanent and she would never feel safe again, I hope he gets to sentence to jail long enough he thought through +I really hate ISIS. They continue to be the stain on society by committing atrocities condemned by every nation in the world. They must be stopped at all costs and they must be destroyed so that they wont hurt another soul. These poor people who are trying to survive get killed, imprisoned, or brainwashed into joining and there seems to be no way to stop them. +This is such a sad story. I blame the owner of the dog. She should not have had her dog off leash. A big dog like that can really scare someone. Not everyone is a dog lover like we are. Poor Macie had to feel the pain because her owner wasn't doing the right thing. Perhaps the fine for having dogs off leash will result in people not taking their dogs off leash when they walk. Take them to a dog park and let them run. +This story about the shooting at the airport is absolutely breaking my heart. There is no reason for these violent gun actions to continue to go on. Can you imagine if this had been our dad or other friend or family member? I can not imagine what the victims family is going through right now. The poor people in the airport must have been in a frenzy. It had to have been scary to not know what was going on. Especially before everyone knew the gunman was dead. This one cowards acts caused so much turmoil and upheaval for so many people. Can you imagine all of the money that was wasted because of his stupid choices. Between flights being cancelled, rearranged, police officers time. I wish we could understand what he was thinking and why he did this mess. +Reading about the issue of racism in this country brings to many various thoughts. The first of these being, truly, we cannot legislate thought itself. Either we champion free speech for those we find abhorrent, or we stop pretending to care about liberty. People will always suck. At a certain point, it seems we as a society have gotten a lot softer, even as life has become more comfortable. Racists are morons. Do I walk around stressed all day about racists? Hell no. +I never knew there was a link between depression and birth control pills. I thought it would do the opposite because it allows women to have a full sex like without worrying about pregnancy, so they and their partners can feel more relaxed and open to exploring their sexuality. But now that i read the article I can see the link between hormone fluctuations and mood disorders since the two effect each other. +Dear friend, I have just read a horrific story coming out of Hong Kong. This man, a wealthy Hong Kong banker, murdered two young women in his apartment in a gruesome and sadistic fashion. He tortured them repeatedly inside of his luxurious downtown apartment near Hong Kong's red light district. He planned to torture them with tools and sex toys but had to cut it short when one of the women started screaming loudly in his apartment. He slit her throat and stuffed her body into a suitcase. +It's really amazing to me how much food we waste as a country considering how overweight and obese people are. I can't believe how wasteful it all is, if you think about it. A lot of the food we eat, we don't need, and then we throw away so much too! All that food belongs with people who really need it. I wish people would donate more and that restaurants could donate their unused food to homeless shelters. +It's sad these days how often police are being attacked for just being police. Mental health is such a problem, we need to find better ways to help people so they don't get to the point of harming others. Whenever I hear about an officer being hurt I think of your husband. We are very lucky men like him are choosing to spend their lives to protect us. I hope we can get help to more people so I can stop worrying if there is someone out there waiting for him. +Check out this news article. It's absolutely infuriating that this sort of thing would happen YET again, not only from a big oil and gas company, but specifically from BP again. Their ineffable ineptitude constantly leads to environmental disasters and someone has to put a stop to their BS before we let them completely destroy our habitat here on Earth. +This is troubling as it is unusual to have two people die of this cause at the same time. This seems suspicious as well. I hope the authorities can find some answers so this tragedy is not repeated. I hope the family can eventually find some peace and get the information they need for closure on their loss. +The article i read about the Venezuela zoo where the animals starving due to food shortage. the country economical condition go down and rise the prices of food. The country can't manage to import food due to bad economical siyuation. Animals on the Caricuao Zoo staffers have been feeding carnivorous lions and tigers diets of mango and pumpkin. Elephant eats tropical food instead of hey. +there are many red quireels in great britain and are causing leprosy arounf the city a girlo who was near the age found in squirrel these have been in scotland and great britian and even in some cases also in but not ecluding them at all - russia. this is a plagment and a serious incident as you can read many peolpe should be concered about this and might turn a bline eye to it but something should be done about this and people should try to find a cure of some sort for this +You know I'm not a fan of religion in any context, but this type of thing happens everywhere. There's always some idiot who goes off and uses religion, bigotry, sex, gender, anything really as an explanation. It's sad that you read something like this and it doesn't even feel like news. Perhaps its just our access that's making this seem ordinary. +Hey look at what I have been reading into. I want your opinions on this matter at hand. So civilian casualties are starting to rise as Iraqi forces push into Mosul. The vehicles screeched into the small field hospital on the outskirts of Mosul carrying desperate loads: soldiers injured in battle as well as men, women and children caught in the crossfire of Iraq’s war against the Islamic State. Now you know me. I would be in terrible trouble this is not a way of life. Why are were even in war. Why harm our children. This has saddened me to no end. We do not need, want or find any peace in war! +Food, water fears remain year after Brazil mine dam disaster — COLATINA, Brazil — One year after a dam ruptured and sent a giant wave of metal-laden mud gushing into one of Brazil’s most important rivers, people who live along the banks won’t drink the water and fishermen are afraid to eat their catch. Upward of 10 billion gallons of mud filled with mining waste buried towns in the Nov. 5 dam break that has been described as the worst environmental disaster in Latin America’s largest country. Nineteen people perished. Across 5,000 acres — about six times the size of New York City’s Central Park — the onslaught of mud crushed thousands of trees and wildlife. In the river, more than 14 tons of fish died, mostly after mud got stuck in their gills. An equally large amount of aquatic plants die +Wow that dude has a lot of money! More power to him, that's awesome. That guy has worked hard his whole life and built an amazing career and he's unstoppable in the wrong. So yeah what do you guys think? Do you agree that he deserves what he's got? Do you think he really refused to pay for the necklace? or do you think it's just fake news someone made up? +There are many types of virus spreading through our population today. More recently the Zika virus has found new ways of spreading from person to person. It has also found new host an carriers. This new problem is very concerning especially for people young and old. It also seems like pregnant woman are very susceptible to this virus as well. +In this Food, water fears remain year after Brazil mine dam disaster — COLATINA, Brazil — One year after a dam ruptured and sent a giant wave of metal-laden mud gushing into one of Brazil’s most important rivers, people who live along the banks won’t drink the water and fishermen are afraid to eat their catch.

Thankfully, they didn't have injured people, just frightened ones. As bad as the situation is, it could have been worse. While people have no homes, they have their lives and the lives of their loved ones. It is terrible these people don't have a particularly safe place to stay right now, and the thought of losing everything you own is catastrophic. But, you can rebuild your life with your family. +It's a shame that air pollution has potentially been linked to increased mental damage with young children. We often don't take into account all the damage that the fossil fuel companies have done to our society. We only praise them for creating the fuels we use but never tax them appropriately for all the damage that they cause us. +I believe protecting nature is extremely important. Whether it is climate change or restricting grazing, we must make a commitment to insuring that our lands are preserved for future generations. People can enjoy the outside and enjoying the outside is especially important for a generation that has often been labelled as couch potatoes. Such lands should be well preserved for them. +Hello friends, I will take part in this group to tell you some important news. They know that I always read and look for information. Some time ago it seems that a man died at sea after he fell off the cruiser where he was going. The person's name was Bernardo García Teixeira. Now his partner filed a lawsuit with the Royal Caribbean company. The people of the cruise and the police also allege that this couple was discussing a moment before the accident happened. +To be honest with you, In my opinion, I do not believe Russia or Syria are peaceful countries. Syria has the most corrupt and dishonest government officials in the world, and the fact that Russia has defended them through everything is very disturbing and alarming. I know we all like to think that Trump and Putin are in "bed" together, but is that really the case? What Syria does to its own people goes beyond what words can describe, and how Russia can defend these actions is almost as equally disgusting. +I cannot even be surprised by the level of insanity that is going on out there right now. I almost feel as though I am numb to it. I can no longer be moved by this madness because it is something that I can expect because of the mental illness that is prominent in our society. We can no longer feel safe that our protection is the priority today. +I am stressed about this article since gasoline is involved. Gasoline is a big thing not just for me, my family, my frienda but it is a big thing for everyone. It is always a bad news to know that something like this happened or happening because it will slow down the work we have to do. It destroys plans and budget of every individual. +The pipeline seems to be interfering with native american tribes and is causing lots of enviornmental damage. I do feel for these individuals, and it's important they get all the help they deserve. Their anscestors were decimated throughout history and there isnt enough reparations to solve the genocide that was caused. +It seems that a lawsuit is now pending for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Exessive grazing from the cattle has occured in this area and it seems to be threatening the wildlife in the area. Protective measures have been put in place over the years but there have no been serious consequences for parties that do not comply. +I feel that these Muslim areas are in dire need of help. I feel so very sad and alarmed for them, as I know the citizens are helpless and don't know who to turn to for help. It can't be easy to live in an area where you never know if you will wake up to your village being raided, your women being raped and worry of your child being dragged into Military or political rebels groups. Many people in America do not realize how much freedom, safety and peace we have by living in this country, as we have never experienced the peril that people in these Muslim countries experience. I'm sure many live in terror and fear of the unknown, of what could be, and actually the reality of their life. There are many poor villages and citizens, so they don't have options to find a way out of there. +I just read about a group of people that were celebrating Halloween and got hit by a car. It makes me wonder how people can be so irresponsible with children. They were riding on the back of a trailer when they got hit by another car. That is so unsafe. I wouldn't even want to do that with other adults, let alone children. +It looks like chaos in Iraq. The Islamic State (IS) has taken over Mosul and people are getting the hell out of there. The problem is, there is nowhere to go. There are a few camps for refugees but not nearly enough space. People are even taking there sheep which can’t be helpful… The IS has had people under their rule for almost 3 years and the people are making a run from it. No doubt they have every reason – the young women and girls feel veil-less freedom! The IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The were right to leave as the city is now a war zone with Iraqi security forces retaking the city. It is a bitter fight with the usual “blood will spill” messages rampant. Many families are leaving and there are some really heart-wrenching tales. SO SAD… Many are in fear. +I didn’t know that cocunuts are becoming in short supply. It was a very interesting article. I didn’t realize how many things are made with cocunut or that they have some kind of bank type of thing to keep the seeds. I find it so amazing to learn about things I knew nothing about. I love cocunuts and did buy some cocunut oil but haven’t used it yet. I heard that the oil was good for your skin and hair, although I haven’t tried it yet. Reading the article made me think about the show “Naked and Afraid” since the players are often in the jungle, trying to survivor and finding cocunuts on the trees. Or on the TV show Survivor, where they often eat and drink coconut juice. In honesty, I don’t know if I have ever eaten a cocunut even though I thought I did. I eat mangos, kiwi’s and oth +Global warming and fires and now being considered to be linked to one another. While being a resident of California, this to me is not surprising. Unfortunately we as a nation need to open our eyes up and realize the impact that we are having on our environment. Even worse is now we have a president who in his own words feel as though global warming is just a fabrication. This is going to cost us more money in the fire fighting department and we are going to see way worse side affects from this problem. +Micheal Moore was right about this. Trump could and did win. The more we dismissed him the stronger he got. I can't stand his attitude and his lack of compassion. But I can understand how he won. Voters were fed up with the traditional lifetime politicians. I think Hillary lost the election more than Trump won it. A lot of people didn't trust her and wanted a change. Now good or bad we have change. +It's always sad when you lose the legends no matter what. For one it makes you feel old but for two you lose any future of their work. It is also sad for the family who loses a loved one and is hard to imagine the responsibility of keeping up the name of the famous person they've loss. I mean how do you know what they would do with the rights of their music or if you should even use them anymore? +It's sad that there are still outbreaks of cholera and other diseases that are easily preventable with sanitation and access to clean drinking water. If we all pitch in just a couple dollars, the cost of buying a bottle of water, I bet we could make a significant contribution to the relief effort in Yemen. +A new study shows injected sperm birth or ICSI have shown long term studies of males born in this matter have lower sperm count. I feel they need a larger testing pool and they also need to understand the lifestyle of the men tested. Usually people that would need a special method to give birth are wealthy as well as unhealthy. Most likely thier offsprings have adapted to this similar lifestyle. +A lot of these news go unnoticed I feel. We have war in Syria and war everywhere. We have accepted it as a part of the world. It's such a shame that it's like this. Conflict has always broken us down and it's never been necessary. I don't know for how long this war has to continue. But I really feel sorry for all the lives that's been lost in this conflict. +It does seem a little disrespectful when someone starts to deface any public property. It is a disgrace and a lack of moral character when something like this happens. No one in their right mind would think of doing this could it could land you in jail for starters. Secondly, you could get sued and in today's litigious society you could go broke rather quick, even with a good lawyer. I guess that's why we have laws. Not only to protect the public, whether it be people or "spaces" because everyone is supposed to be allowed to enjoy the public domain. +It is with many tears, a heavy heart and very mixed emotions that I write that little Isibindi passed away shortly before midnight after a very, very rough 56 hours. She went through such deep sadness in her short life. I was so hoping and fighting to give her a second chance at life. A part of me feels a deep relief – the last two days were very difficult and she had so much to cope with. Little Bindi left this earth lying in my arms (the orphanage had no power so I wrapped us both in a duvet to keep her warm) It never gets easier. RIP little Bindi – may your spirit fly free! +This is disgusting. As many of you know, I am an animal lover. There is not much that makes me sad, upset and angry like any instance of an animal suffering. What this man did is unforgivable. I hope he has a mental illness. I cannot think of any other reason why someone would do something so cruel. +It is awful that there is such turmoil in the Middle East. It makes me so grateful that I am an American. Isn't it sad that Doctors Without Borders is at risk because of the fighting in the Middle East. Those people donate their time to help others and they have to worry if they are going to be hurt or killed. Such a sad area of the world. +I just read about some girls losing their parents. It was very bad. They went to a theme park to enjoy themselves and their parents were killed in front of them. It was a water ride, the kind that seats six at a time. Something mechanical happened on the ride. The maintenance check a few days prior was good, but something screwed up. There were four adults and two girls. The ride flipped over and trapped the adults. The little girls somehow escaped, but their parents were among the four dead. Apparently, the park workers didn't even notice it right away. One of the girls was by the ride exit by herself. The girls may need a lot of counseling for the rest of the lives. It was pretty bad. I would hate to see my family members die in front of me in a tragic accident like that. +This article was eye opening. I can't imagine having to wear masks as I do my normal, everyday activities or go outside. This is so weird. It's kind of disturbing, all of this. I think it's a very good thing for people to donate to the firefighters. Firefighters risk their lives to protect us, we can help them. +Hey, so I just read about this fire in Arizona. It was not super serious and no one besides one person needed to go to the hospital. It was not like super tragic but it just makes me think about my own life. It also makes me really think about my living situation. I have never thought about how I live in an apartment building shared with several other people and that their actions could have severe consequences. For example, say someone above me has a child who is playing with the stove and the parents are unaware. I fire could start and all of that is beyond my control. It really freaks me out now that I know someone besides just myself could ruin my home or personal belongings. Even worse, someone could lose their life. +So apparently there is an infamous retired nba star who is going around and pieing influential political figures haha. At first I thought it was a typo, and it was suppose to be die, but it indeed was talking about someone taking a coconut pie, and slamming it into the face of people. The act seems pretty innocent to me, and is almost sad that he is going to have to face some jail time along with the beating from the security. Obviously, you cant go around doing this, but it is tough not to laugh. +After reading that the amphibian population and specifically ranavirus might be caused by humans it makes me sad but I can understand the situation. We can often do things with unintended consequences that are not noticeable in the beginning. This appears to be the thought here that maybe we have caused these amphibians to become sick because of carrying the disease in or perhaps genetic mutations. Either way, it is a sad situation that will hopefully be able to be reversed before it is too late but these types of things happen in our society without specific intention. I feel for the little froggies though and hope science can find a way to preserve them and their habitat. +There is some killing in Indonesia most likely related to Muslims. Overall I'm not surprised by this news, the Islam religion holds many radicals and there are enough proof that the top leaders of these Islam groups support oppression. Just look at at all the hajibs in these muslim countries these are sad pathetic men that are afraid of women. +Hey, aren't you from the south? Have you had any issues with wildfires in your area? There's all this talk about forest fires and droughts in California, but this is the first time I've heard about stuff going down in your area. Everything okay down there? Make sure you stay safe! I know you don't go out much, but it doesn't take much to have a disaster to fall on your doorstep. +The officer whose car had been hit approached Ms Rader to find she had an "unclasped brassiere" and was trying to put on her blouse, police said.The freshman told the officer that she had been driving back to her residence on campus.The arresting officer wrote in an affidavit: "I asked her why she was not dressed while driving and she stated she was taking a Snapchat photo to send to her boyfriend while she was at a red light."She was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and released from jail on Thursday morning on a $2,000 (£1,600) bail bond, police said. +there has been talks on how this is an agenda that is being pushed right now, just like the massive shootings right now. people are just killing innocent people no matter what the color of theyre skin is although people aare always going to find a way to make it a racial matter or discuss how its biased or how the person was a racist but the only one who knows that is the person who commited the act. +Dear Friend, I just read a ridiculously vapid article about Kim Kardashian and her posting photos of her jewelry on instagram. She was nearly mugged last year and the article is explaining how its a bad idea for her to show off her expensive diamonds online. I think this story is silly and weightless and I dont really see how anyone could care about it. +That article was a steaming pile of nonsense. Storied about criminals emboldened to assault and kill cops by the media's sympathetic bias towards criminals is a regular occurrence these days. Black Lives Matter is a borderline terrorist organization who believes there should be no laws, or at the very least, that black people should be exempt from them. They're in favor of abolishing the police and penal system. What sane person riots over a criminal getting the inevitable ending that comes from leading a lawless and dangerous life? When I read about a white criminal getting killed in a confrontation with the police, I feel relief. My instinct is to say "good riddance" and not go out and loot a liquor store and burn down fast food restaurants. +I have never heard of sleep paralysis but it doesn't sound like a particularly dangerous disorder. We all undergo a state of unconsciousness during sleep where we dream and cannot control certain things in the dream. But this seems to be an extension of dreaming where your brain becomes out of synch with your body. I suspect this may something to do with stress and mental health problems +I am really touched by this story. the rescue just restored my faith in humanity.The success of the rescue operation proves that extraordinary things can be achieved with passion and determination. human conflict causes suffering to both human beings and animals. Suffering animals should not be forgotten or overlooked, even in the midst of human conflicts or natural or man-made disasters. I was very touched and encouraged by these acts of bravery and care towards animals. +I can't believe what's going on overseas. It's so tragic that people in the military are still dying in war, and for what? I thought they would be gone from there by now but they're not. And there's still issues with kidnappings and things of that nature. It's really quite shocking when you think about it. +hey . have u heard about the accident where a fuel tank exploded and around 75 people where burned to death and many more are injured . what a world we live in where people for some profit put their life in danger as well as other . this make me sick to my core . who going to take responsibility for all that life lost and uncomfortable +Dude, there is some pretty messed up stuff going on. I feel like every time I turn on the news or open a newspaper I am reading about pedophilia going on all over the world. I feel like it is much more common than anyone realizes and that at any given moment, I could be walking past someone who is sexually attracted to children. It is crazy to think about and really scary. +When I read this article, to be honest, I do not have any feeling because I am not a fan of all these artists. I do listen to pop songs, but I am not interested in this copyright issues. I would say that copy right is an important part for people to obey because it is a respect to the knowledge and author. +This man lived here almost his entire life. His infractions in which he was charged with are explainable. He literally was getting back his only true property from a more than troubled house. This also was a very long time ago. He has since built himself up a life with a family and now they are looking to deport him. this is a tragedy. We must do something about this! +I feel very sorry for their entire family regarding the divorce. Even though the daughters are now adults that doesn't mean they aren't negatively affected. Twenty-seven years is a long time to be married, and I think this translates to a long period of healing for the parents. Its not a good situation. I also wonder about the impact of the divorce on the daughters' image of the security of marriage for their own lives. It seems that the parents did try for a long time. I wish them well. +Non-human animals are given rights only because of their interactions with human beings. Without involvement with humans, animals do not deserve rights. It is through this interaction with humans that animals are even given moral consideration. As the outcome, animals are becoming even further tarred in society. Humans have and are continuing to handle animals as if they are some kind of material goods. This is considered as being immoral, as animals have their own lives, and they think, have feelings, can feel pain, require love, happiness, and everything else that humans have. As for human rights, it’s always uncertain. +The Native American have been through so much already to try to keep just a small part of the land that they called their own and slow but surely they continue to lose a battle against the USA government.It seems as though it is just a very period of time before the only place to find native Americans with be in the lying pages of our school books. +That poor boy must have just gotten curious and looked down, or perhaps he tripped and fell into it. I can't imagine the pain he must have gone through being stuck in there for days until he finally died. That must have been agonizing and terrible. How could the father not have found him by then? Surely he screamed? It's so sad. +our president party people are making something stupid on some occasions, you see ‘Silicon Valley’ stars recount being harassed by Donald Trump supporters. some one insulting Trump and making fight with them, its not necessary. unwanted fights and unwanted speech should be avoided. because all are having responsible position and work to do, At bar doing nasty things no good using some people name +I tend to be very hard-hearted when it comes to issues of immigration. Yet this is a man for who all intents and purposes is an American, raised here from the age of three and facing deportation for missed paperwork? This is quite frankly a steaming pile of bullshit. There are those who come here, infest neighborhoods and take away jobs from hard working Americans and then there are victims of bureaucratic anarcho-tyranny like this. These types of scenarios are unacceptable. I tend to believe that a system that will let the guilty go free is preferable to one that will punish even one innocent man. Men like this deserve to be treated as Americans, because they are. +The article also good.The four key things can do while helping a friend who may have anxiety or hanging out with their friends as much anymore or are always tired and feeling down. Suggest they see a doctor or health professional and/or help them to make possible, the person's spouse or a mutual friend may be able to give +I hate ISIS. They are a group full of hate and insanity. There is no reason for them to be doing the things they do. They make people suffer and die for no reason at all. They think they are better than other people and should be disbanded. I do not think there is room in this world for people that associate with them and they are highly misguided. I cannot respect them at all. +i think we all need to do a better job of taking care of are forest and water ways because we rely on these to surive and if we are killing animals and fish the wrong way and they start to go away it could have a big impact on us and by that time it could be to late to do anything about it. so we need to put laws in that will help the animals but also help allow us to fish for them the right way not by taking a shortcut +Wow, how dare this person hurt a poor flamingo for no reason!? Why would some random dude go to Busch Gardens and abuse a bird who was minding its own business? Poor bird had to be euthanized because of its injuries! The bird was 19 years old! It seems that there may have to be some sort of background check or mental health testing before you are even allowed to visit a place like this.Just unbelievable the way things happen! Soooo SAD! +This is just one of the negative consequences of long term war in a region. The hospitals in Yemen have been devastated by war and no diseases are starting to spread among the population with no way to control them without outside help. I hope the people of Yemen will be able to find humanitarian aid soon to help them control the spread of disease. +Hey! So I just read this article about the internet in schools. I guess that several years ago, the government came up with this program to get internet and technology in to schools and make it possible for as many or all students to have access to computers and the internet. However, according to this article, this program is not working the way that it was set up to work and students are not actually benefiting from this program that costs A LOT of money! I was upset to read this, as I feel that the internet can be such a valuable tool in education, but then I really wasn't surprised at all to learn that the government isn't doing what it has been set up to do or what it is promising us citizens it will do. Doesn't the government just infuriate you and make you think you could do better? +I feel like the Syrian war situation is just completely out of control at this point, but what often bothers me more is that people who supported Obama for both terms had a sort of blind spot on this issue. When the Arab Spring happened and then the Libyan war and now the Syrian war (et cetera) there was very little meaningful opposition to it from the Democrat-voting side of the aisle. Republican lawmakers just pretended to be opposed to thwart Obama, if they even did that. In reality, the whole government supported "removing Assad" and because that objective was considered SO important, now we have the current situation of extreme tragedy. I feel like it is hard to convey how important this is. +Supposedly there is a lot of unrest in Ethiopia right now over the appropriation of land and government protest. I thought they were doing well and the economy was growing but i guess it has ceased now. Its unbelievable that all this is going on and most people in the states are aware of whats going on. +i like We expect Turkey to safeguard its parliamentary democracy, including respect for human rights and the rule of law, and we are conveying these expectations directly to the Turkish authorities,” Mogherini said in a statement with the EU’s enlargement commissioner,Erdoğan has launched repeated personal attacks on Demirtaş, who analysts have seen as the sole politician in Turkey who comes anywhere near to rivalling his charisma. Demirtaş has made it a personal crusade to oppose Erdoğan’s plan for a presidential system in Turkey, which the HDP says would lead to dictatorship. +Did you hear about what had happened to the kid in china. They found his body dead in a desserted well in China after he was helping his father pick some vegetables or something like that. I just feel like if he was helping his father, then it is hard to believe that his dad did not know he had fallen into the well. Either way, sad story. +I just read about a company is threatening one of the largest populations of Orangutan's in Indonesia by chopping down a critical forest to convert it to a tree plantation. I think it's really disgusting that Indonesia knows they need to preserve their land and wild life but still allows things like this to happen. +it is a very interesting article. quite a good read and has important information. the article did really communicate to me i felt like the author was talking to me trying to relay some sort of information. i like the use of language that the author uses, very simple and easy to understand for everyone. please read it. +I thought this was a pretty interesting article. I learned some things about music and lawsuits. It might be relevant to some of what you and I were talking about some time ago. In any case, it has some new facts that have come to light, as it were, new information or opinions that I had not fully considered prior to reading this article. +Did you hear about the polar bear name Pizza called the word's saddest polar bear? Apparently they are not treating it well in China by not giving it enough space and turning his life into a circus show. He started to inflict self harm because of his living condition. I really hope China comes up with better animal cruelty laws although I doubt this will happen because of our culture difference. It makes me furious knowing animals are being treated like this over there. +This article was about a rash of fires in the south, particularly Appalachia. It mentioned dry conditions causing numerous fires and contributing to pollution that made the air dangerous and unpleasant to breathe. It also said that some of the fires were probably caused by arson, but didn't dwell too much on that aspect. The quoted official mentioned that dry conditions meant more fires could easily be accidentally started and that was a danger. +I feel bad for the Queen. She just lost her husband and now she's sick. I also feel bad for the people over there. They've had rulers as leaders for so long that most of the weren't even alive to experience anybody else. I hope she recovers and is able to get a few more good years out of her life. +The Year's Strongest Storm Sweeps by Taiwan — Typhoon Meranti gathered in strength as it swept close to Taiwan on Wednesday, and with maximum winds of 230 miles per hour it has been called the strongest storm of the year. Meranti was classified as Category 5, the highest on the scale. The storm has brought not only high winds, but also heavy rain, and many Taiwanese cities have flooded. Trains and shipping services in some southern cities had stopped, and most flights were grounded. As of Wednesday, there were only a few injuries. +The disgust I have while reading this story. No one should send there child to school to learn and have to worry about sexual assault in any form. She makes other teachers look bad. Taking a plea deal was her best choice. There is never an acceptable reason for something like this to happen. The fact she had a young daughter too is scary. +Did you read this article? it is awful. Every time i hear about a murder suicide type situation I wonder where someone could have intervened, some doctor, some professional, some family member, who could have have done something to step in so that these people could be alive today? It will drive you crazy if you keep thinking about it. +I think parents complaining about their preteen children are overreacting. Just deal with it and everything will be okay. You can't place them in a toy box anymore or sit them in front of the TV and tell them to sit and watch it until it's done. I'm not worried about this because I have no kids of my own and I could care less. +Can you believe they're doing this? Kicking people out of their homes to expand a stupid airport? Screw these guys. what do you think? Personally, I'm upset and I'm starting a petition. Please sign it if you're against this issue like I am. It's absolutely ridiculous and should never happen, so there you go +Wow, I just read an article that says coconuts could be in danger of becoming much more scarce. There is a bacteria going around that causes lethal yellowing and wipes them out. Due to the water concentration, a traditional seed bank is not an option. You would have to have a living gene bank. That would affect a lot of companies and industries. +I just read about a young male wolf that was shot dead after walking 700 miles in search of a mate. That seems pretty awful. I am thinking about all of the different paths that wolf walked along on his journey, only to see it end in disaster. Apparently it was a government sniper that killed him. I'm not sure why the government has snipers to kill wolves. If they are posing a direct threat, then of course animals must be killed, but I don't see that this wolf was threatening anyway. It seems dishonorable. +Did you hear about the guy who was the father who works for the Swedish government? This guy for some unknown reason contracted a flesh eating bacteria disease. It took them awhile to diagnose what really was wrong with him and he had to take certain surgeries in order to save his life. He talks about how he's grateful to be alive but also wants to live in the moment to enjoy his life as well. It is touching news and I'm happy that he's able to overcome this adversity that came upon his life. +ISTANBUL, have you heard what is going on over near Turkey? Man I am not even really sure myself but it sounds pretty messed up. At least eight members of parliament were charged with some type terrorism-related crimes. This is just sickening to me. Turkey’s parliament voted to strip lawmakers of their immunity +The elections nowadays are just so unrelenting. You have to spend a lot of money on campaigns and trying to put down the other person. It's a wonder that man doesn't spend all his money that he has earned. I don't think he even got a chance to tell anyone what kind of person he is. He gets torn down before he has a chance to do anything. I'm just so mad at the whole election system and the way things are done. Everything about your past and present gets brought up and nothing you do can go unnoticed. +I read about this asshole Arcan Cetin who shot up a mall in Oak Harbor, Washington. Evidently before he did the shooting he had been placed under a no firearm order because he had been charged with domestic assault. I guess it just goes to show that gun laws are a pointless joke; if this guy had been a decent law abiding person no gun law would be needed, but because it was a criminal and a murderer the law didn't do anything to stop him from shooting up a mall. +There is no way the FBI or any government agency could figure out what a lone wolf terrorist was going to do. Some terrorist could walk into anywhere and just start shooting the place up. It's terrible what the United States has become. The only way I see to limit terrorism is to try and limit immigration into the country, but even that doesn't solve things. Seems like if you don't live the right kind of life to someone, whether it's being gay etc., then somebody tries to hurt you. It's terrible. +Dude I seriously cannot believe what happened at the zoo not too long ago. A kid fell into a moat in May when he fell through the barrier. Wow it must have been so terrifying for the family. Then the gorilla picked up the boy and carried him a little bit. They actually ended up shooting the gorilla which is so sad. +Dude, you won't believe this. A six-year-old girl fell down an elevator shaft and died. The elevator company has to be at fault here, but that won't bring her back! I can't imagine how her parents must feel, looking at my little boy and wondering what it would be like if we lost him in such a horrible -- yet preventable -- tragedy. I feel so bad for the parents, but I wonder if they could have prevented it somehow, and if so, it would be hard not to blame them somewhat for what happened. But that isn't to deflect guilt over how horrible they must feel, as no one wants to lose their child in such an egregious tragedy. I hope you pray for the family with me! +I just read an article about a very strong Category 5 typhoon, ‘Typhoon Meranti’, which grew stronger as it swept close to Taiwan on Wednesday. A Category 5 has intense maximum winds of 230 miles per hour, and is being called the strongest storm of the year. There were no deaths reported but a handful of injuries and of course electricity is out for large numbers of residents. The storm may intensify as it heads toward China and is being monitored. What a tragedy could unfold if it makes a direct hit on some of the highly populated areas in China. Could end up being one of the strongest storms of the century. +we just have a long way to go.Too many times we do not believe the victim especially if they are females.Things happen to them especially now and they are coming out but we still ask for proof when we should believe in them most and that should be more than enough proof.We want to believe them and show them that we care as people and that we would do what it takes to get them the justice that they deserve +How sick is this. A visitor at Busch Gardens in Florida attacked a flamingo. Park staff had to euthanize the bird because of its injuries. It seems the flamingo did some sort of unique dance and had become quite well known for it. The guy is being held on bond, charged with animal cruelty. They ought to throw the book at him. +This article is fascinating - takes the concept of global warming and directly ties it with the impact on weather events. These events show a vast contrast between both extremely hot weather and also extreme amounts of precipitation when compared across historical items. Showing it is not just a regionally focused weather pattern, but in fact across the country that is the most troubling. +It makes me sad to think of this man who was mentally unstable attacking people. I wonder sometimes how many attacks are attributed to terrorists when in reality the people might just be mentally ill. I wish we had a better system for treating mental illness in our country instead of locking people away. +It's too bad that we are still in the middle east. I wish Trump would just pull out of the middle east entirely so our soldiers will stop being targets for all the countries that hate us. The longer we are there the easier we make it for them to inflict damage to our troops. It must not be easy for them to be there away from their families. +It is appalling that there are places that would actively want to get immunized and cant due to lack of resources. While at the same time in America there are parents who actively keep their children from getting them. Their should be social consequences in place the parents who intentionally endanger their children like this. I would think a hefty tax that goes to implementing vaccines in impoverished areas would be a great idea. +I said Trump would win. Polls said otherwise, I didn't care, I knew the fucker would win. I think people are not willing to accept that others are really shitty and that someone like Trump would be voted in. They can't see past others. People have too much faith in others, too much trust. There are a lot of vile people out there, just gotta encourage them a little bit and they'll come out. Trump was their encouragement. What will the liberals do now? I don't know. Sometimes I think we will be okay, sometimes I think we won't. I just know that going to one march is going to do shit. You need tens of marches, packed to the brim. You need them every weekend. For months. You need to call your officials, complain, elect them, vote them out. Do more. But one march isn't going to do shit. +Hey, I just read this article today. It takes place in 2011 and is about an inmates at a federal prison that had to choose between living with a violent cellmate or end up in shackles. In the cell they had to spend nearly 24 hours a day together in a concrete room smaller than a parking space, can you imagine? I learned that they have a form of punishment there and it is called "four-pointing". They cuff each limb to the corner of a concrete slab or bed frame. That just sounds like torture to me. The guy that the story is about is serving a 35-year sentence for drug trafficking and assaulting a corrections officer. This prison is known as the toughest prison and I can see why. You really should read this article, it is very eye opening. +It's amazing what people will do to avoid embarrassment. I just heard about a guy who was concerned over urinary track issues and decided the best way to figure out his problem was to shove a stainless steel chopstick into his urethra. It had to be removed via surgery, and it sounds like it was successful, but Jesus Christ man, go to a doctor. +France plans to shut down the jungle as they call it. This was where they kept illegal immigrants trying to make their way to Britain. I certainly feel for anyone looking for a better life and at times wish all countries had open borders as this one isn't so great at times but we do have laws and many immigrants enter other countries legally and I think there needs to be some sort of controls that make the process fair to legal citizens. I feel for the immigrants but it's hard to support their actions when they could also do so legally as opposed to sneaking in by way of hiding in trucks. +Wow, what a horrible and terrifying accident,I feel very bad for the people involved and their families. I wonder what caused this terrible accident, I hope that it was not any human error, because that makes it worse to deal with. I cannot imagine being on that train and the intensity of the accident. It makes me feelvery sad thinking about the deaths of those people on board. +The author of this article I read examined several cases in which youth were killed in gun violence on the same day. They used the personal stories of a couple of people to show how the ready availability of guns contributes to sad situations in which kids are shot and killed. It wasn't as well written as a lot of journalism in this area, but it was pretty interesting to hear the stories of the two cases that were detailed. One involved a violent adult who went on a rampage and shot an ex-girlfriend's child and another person. The other story involved two kids who were left alone in a home that had a lot of guns and one of them ended up shooting and killing the other, claiming it was an accident. The author concludes by calling for more active challenges to the NRA and the second amendment +I hate to hear about officers getting shot but news spreads of officers doing illegal or corrupt things all the time and that will ultimately lead to extremists who want to take matters into their own hands in a revengeful way. I don't like that part of our society but it isn't something that is easy to combat. As long as officers get blasted on news or the internet for illegal actions, people are going to look for ways to retaliate. Its an extremely volatile situation no matter how you look at it. I bleed for all those affected but really don't see what we can do as a society to prevent it. +I hadn't heard about this and I find it surprising. I initially thought of the ecological factor so it's a good thing that it was contained. It's worrisome that people are struggling to find gas anywhere. I imagine those areas don't have good options for public transportation or anything. Maybe it will push people to get smart cars or ride bikes. +I just read this article indirectly about climate change that I know you'll find interesting. It talks about the extinction of three different species. It's a sad situation, but if you read it, it was almost entirely the fault of man, and climate change only played a small part. The worst part is that it could have been prevented if somebody had sounded the alarm in time. +How awful. I have the feeling things like this are going to get more and more common - racists are going to feel more comfortable and much bolder if there's someone in office that seems to approve of actions like these. We need a leader who takes a strong stance against racism and hate crimes like this, or our country will continue to fracture. +I just heard about more poaching of rhinos, animals in general! This one was a black rhino very old, but what I don't understand is why people are so money focused and are willing to kill for it? Out of all the ways we could be making money why is killing animals something pretty defenseless if we just leave them alone, the main focus for money for some? I've never had a desire to hurt an animal for any reason, you? +Sometimes I worry a little, when I'm out in public, about a mass-shooting (or even some crazy with a vehicle running people over) happening. But, on the other side of the coin, the chances are pretty slim of that happening. Plus, if you think about it, the worst thing that happens, if that were to occur, is that I die and then nothing is my problem anymore. I'm in no rush to die, but if it happens, it happens. It's an inevitability. +A reward of $25000 is being offered to catch somebody who is killing horses in the Salt River area. There are several murders of horses every year. Anyways, the group raising the money started a campaign on GoFundMe, and people have donated $25000. The group also is concerned with conservation-related issues. +the phone lines from the suicide prevention line surged after the election. it also climbed when robin williams committed suciide. thankfully there is this prevention line to help those in need who have sucidal thoughts but we need to condition people that committing sucide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem +This article here was a bit confusing and I really couldn't see the point. From what I gathered a Militia from Ohio is trying to defend its' people from an overbearing federal government. I can completely understand why they would want to stand up to the federal government. Apparently, a protestor was shot by the government. I seen nothing in the article that explained the protestor was violent or a danger to the ones around him. Just shot for protesting. This is an outrage! +Read an interesting article about blight in the forests you might enjoy. So true, you just have to live to learn with things. Change is certain. It's the one constant on the planet as in life. Check it out, it's sort of sad fact of reality but as true as can be. Change is gonna come regardless of what you do and regardless of if you want it to or not. +The article that I just read sheds light on how hard it really is for people to get out of timeshares. The article highlighted an older couple. The couple bought their timeshare when their children were younger and they were able to travel. Now, many years later, the older couple finds it hard it get traveler's insurance. They also stated how expensive traveling can be alone. The couple is struggling to get rid of their timeshare. It makes me feel for the couple and other people in this financial burden. +Hey T, I found an article that I thought you would be interested in. It is about how Iraqis found evidence of torture by Islanic State in mass graves near the city Mosul. Can you believe that, they literally just killed and dumped bodies there. From what the articles says in just one hours time they found 20 to 25 bodies. Some where hard to even tell if it were human or not. They still can't figure out how they died but they will soon enough. Though from the state of decomposition it has only been a few weeks that they have been there. All I can say is that were tortured point blank. +I'm no parent and I completely believe Donald Trump is a horrible man. With that being said, I don't think it is correct to shun your child from having a different belief as you. Children should be able to freely be able to open up a discussion with their parents and analyze their opposing views without worrying if they will receive any type of punishment. I love jokes and pulling pranks, but to do that to your own child and then to publicly embarrass them...well that doesn't seem funny at all to me. It worries me that the child will from now on tiptoe around certain topics for fear of upsetting their parent. +A diseased called microcephaly has spread from South America to America. It's a virus which causes severe brain impairment. In the article, a couple's child has the disease and showed signs of impairment early on. They were worried whether a second child would also have the disease but the child did not even though the odds were one in four. +Looks like the drought isn't only affecting California, the drought is affecting other regions in the mid west. The drought creating drier climates making them more susceptible to fires and that region has already lost 100,000 acres to forest fires. The drought is definitely a major issue that needs to be addressed. +While I was reading the article, I found myself not feeling warm or sympathetic. I guess I just do not care, to be frank, about the things happening in Haiti. I don't think others care either. That's where a lot of my focus was, thinking about how others don't care. I think for the most part, people don't generally care about what is happening in other countries. I think Haiti is one of them. I think people have just been forced to care. Anyway, as I said, I don't care about Haiti. +Get too close to a skunk, and it will spray you with a noxious mix of sulphuric thiols, the chemicals in raw onions that make you cry.The spray doesn't just stink: it chokes your lungs and causes temporary blindness, allowing the skunk to get away.The scent is produced in anal glands at the base of the tail, and is fired through nipples attached to the glands. Impressive muscle control allows skunks to target their enemy's face at a distance of over 2m.Without this deterrent, the slow-moving skunks would be unable to escape from predators. +The dwindling wilderness is due, in part to humanity’s activities such as logging, agriculture, mining, and of course, oil and gas exploration. The research team from Australia’s University of Queensland said the Earth has lost nearly 1.3 million square miles of wilderness. They’ve defined wilderness as an area with no human development. Dr. James Watson of the University of Queensland in Australia said globally important wilderness areas are completely ignored in environmental policy, and much has been paid to the loss of species. Without any policies to protect them, they are “falling victim to widespread development,” he added. Dr. Watson also revealed that humanity has one to two decades to turn things around. +I just read the article and I am so surprised that this happened. I feel really embarrassed for her because it seems obvious that she's the one starting trouble but I worry that she might have some sort of mental illness or disorder that she really didn't realize what she said and that makes me feel bad for her. I can understand her concerns about racism but I think that she's just not very credible in this case. I just feel like we need to be really sensitive towards racism and keep an open mind when it happens, but considering that there were other people there and absolutely no one is backing her up, I don't know if we can really take her seriously and that's really sad. Crowe also doesn't seem like the kind of person to be racist or to bully someone for absolutely no reason, either. +So the police found this woman wondering the streets in Philadelphia at 1 am with no coat on in the cold. She was in some kind of daze, probably alzheimer's or something. Anyways, their trying to identify her. It would suck to be in that state of mind. Sounds horrible and potentially scary if your cognizant enough. +I read this article about a bus that was hit a random car from out of nowhere. The bus was parked and the car just plowed into it. It's kind of fucked up but typical. A few people were hospitalized but no one died. Anyways their investigating the crash. These types of incidents happen so often I'm rather numb to their effects. +This is just such a sad situation. I wish they had been able to find out more when they investigated, but I guess they can't always get it right. I really feel for the father. He did what he could to stop his son and he wasn't able to. It reminds me of a certain person I know whose family member was involved in a different kind of violent extremism. Sometimes people you love go on terrible paths and you don't have enough information to do anything until it's too late. +Well Toughie the Frog died. He was in a zoo. He was twelve years old at least. They say he was older since he was caught as an adult. I wonder what gave him such a long life. They don't live long around here where I live. I cannot imagine a frog living that long. That's as long as a dog almost. I hope they earned a great deal from him. +I just read an article about kids being killed on Halloween night. It's an awful tragedy that we need to try to prevent. Because someone was driving stupid, kids were killed. Halloween is a time to have responsible fun and some guy took it to the extremes. It's sad, and I feel for those parents. No parent should have to bury their child. +I have always thought that politics were a scam and this is another example of politics gone wrong. Every country runs into problems sometimes and in this case they would like her to step down from her position. Do you think she really has a say though or will they just force her to step down if she does not volunteer. +It seems like Paris is getting to be a very dangerous place. I know who Kardashian is, but I have never heard of this Sherawat. It sounds like she is par for the course in Hollywood, just another Obama and Hillary supporter. But still, its terrible to be tear gassed and beaten, and I feel sorry for her. +Interesting article, and I can see both sides of the issue. On one hand, it is true that it's incredibly, incredibly hard for people to immigrate to America. The old saying that you "need money to make money" is true in the sense that if you show up on our shores with nothing at all, it's going to be awfully hard to make anything of yourself. That being said, the American dream has always been one of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and being a self-made-man. You need to be able to do things on your own and most of the most successful people on Earth came from abject poverty. +Hello Friend. I am really very surprised at all the things that have happened and continue and continue to happen in the world. Now the big problem we are facing in this part of the United States of America is a new outbreak or virus. The specialists in the field of health still do not know what this problem is due to and how to stop it. Here I write part of what I have learned on the subject. This started in November and the symptoms are fever, a lot of chills, and difficulty to breathe +I hate it when these terrorist attacks happen on innocent people who are just living their lives. I don't know how open societies can completely eliminate them? You can't put the terrorist stigma on everyone of a certain religion and you can't close off your society. There's always going to be religious zealots and crazy people who feel violence is the only way to get their ideas across, but we just have to keep fighting them and trying our best to prevent an attack when possible. +I think with all the social media and news stories, recent incidents involving terror attacks, and those who are of a different race commuting these acts, especially since the 9/11 attack this will always be an issue with people because we are just alarmed, even though some may have nothing to do with terrorism or any type of situation regarding that but they will always be perceived that way because of what happened in the past. It's probably not right of those who are discriminating and the airlines really need to do something about all the complaints. +I am crushed after hearing about the conditions in Haiti after Hurricane Matthew hit the area. The people are literally starving to death and the injured and sick do not have access to enough, if any medical care. There are areas that are completely inaccessible to aid, either medically or food or water supplies. There is extensive looting in Haiti and the situation is extremely dangerous even for those that try to bring in supplies to the people living there. My heart is breaking as I think of all the people, children and adults in Haiti. It is a country that still has not recovered from the earthquake that happened there years before. I think that our country should continue to report on these terrible conditions and try to get aid to Haiti from every source available. +It is nice to see others doing things to help those that are in need or have gone through negative experiences. I think things like this show how the world can come together when it needs to and that other countries do care about their people. This is a fine example and a defining moment that many people should see. +I can't believe this article that I just read. They are making these allegations of Islamophobia and all kinds of crazy notions of hatred against gays, etc. What do they expect people to think when every time we hear of a bombing, it is a muslim. Do they expect people to say thank you? I don't hear any Islamic leaders speaking out against any of the terrorism. Are we just to sit back and say "thank you sir, may I have another." Not only do I not hear any Islamic leaders speaking out against it, I don't hear any muslim citizens speaking out either. As to the gay and transgender stuff, I will speak out against whomever I wish. They have a right to spew their immoral acts all of the place, then I have the right to speak out against their immoral acts which are an affront to almighty God +I honestly can't believe I just read that whole article about a frog. I absolutely despise them. They are some of the most vile creatures on this earth. Ew. But.... there was something pretty interesting at the end of the article. One of the researchers claim that over half of all species will be extinct by the end of the century. That is insane!!!! Pretty sure most of that is due to climate change but we have Donald Asshat and Company who refuse to acknowledge it or its repercussions. +I know that you are an animal lover like I am. It really bothers me that individuals open up zoos and don't really care about the animals. It is wonderful that an organization was available to take these animals out of the zoo near the Gaza Strip. I will not be going to any zoos anytime soon. How about you? Animals need to be free, not stared at and yelled at by little children. They deserve space. For now on when someone asks me to go to a zoo, my answer is nooooo! +This article about a firecracker going off during a protest is about the stupidest thing I have seen in a while. The journalists are pond scum trying desperately to write anything they can to divide people up. College kids can't bear a firecracker going off, they need to institute mandatory military service like Israel does, then maybe they would not be scared chickens crying about everything. +Hey, check this out. This guy ended up murdering his wife for no obvious ad apparent reason, according to this article. He was happily married to his wife and just ended up committing a homicide. It's scary to think about, how it could be possible for someone to just go off like that and kill someone they love. +As a parent, I feel that is definitely one of my responsibilities to teach my children the importance of loving and taking care of our environment. Without the wilderness, the animals will have nowhere to live, and without the wilderness, what will our animals be forced to live in. What I want them to remember is that they are the ones living in the environment, not the environment invading on our lives. We must take care of it in order to make sure that we have a sustainable environment our children's children. +I think that global warming is definitely a very real thing that is occurring today and I feel like it is sad that there are still people who try to deny the fact that it is a very real thing. Sometimes I feel like the people that disagree with scientists and real evidence that global warming is very obvious today is just very ignorant and live in a bubble where they think that everything is fine in the world and everyone is at peace. There are so many reasons why we should be using fewer resources as it is constantly destroying our environment and it is unfortunate that there are people who just continue to deplete our resources without a care in the world. Maybe the effects won't be felt as much in our generation but I am sure that the effects will be felt by those others after us sadly. +I feel like a lot of artists do this or try to do this. Take credit for music or lyrics that others have helped with. This probably happeneds more then we know about. They just made an entire Disney movie on it. Coco. It basically was about 2 singers and the one killed the other so no one would know he made and wrote all the lyrics and music that the one guy stole. I mean any way you look at it it's not right. The guy does serve and pay out and then some for what he has done to his friend. +I wonder who shot him and where. Did he get shot in the chest? The arm? The leg? The back? Where????? And also, where was he when he got shot? Was he inside or outside of the club? Did he drive himself? Was he alone? Did anyone else get shot?????? Sooooo many questions, so little answers. Has anyone been arrested yet? Are there any suspects????? +Cohen moved to New York in 1966 at age 31 to break into the music business. Before long, critics were comparing him with Bob Dylan for the lyrical force of his songwriting. Although he influenced many musicians and won many honors, including induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Order of Canada, Cohen rarely made the pop music charts with his sometimes moody folk-rock. His most ardent admirers compared his works to spiritual prophecy. He sang about religion, with references to Jesus Christ and Jewish traditions, as well as love and sex, political upheaval, regret and what he once called the search for “a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. +So apparently even turtles are poised to suffer from our careless destruction of the planet vis a vis degradation to habitats due to climate change. Though it seems like they will be able to withstand the changes in temperature, it is not at all clear what will be the outcome of the potentially lost habitats they live in due to climate change. These guys have been around longer than we have, as a species. It's really sad to think that we would be responsible for endangering them even further than we already have. +I just read this article about contact lenses. It has some good information about the risks associated with improper wear of contacts. I can't believe there are some people who store their lenses in tap water. Gross! I definitely make it a point to not wear my lenses over the 30 day limit and I try to never fall asleep in wearing them. +I just read an article discussing the impact global warming is having on polar bears. It's really troubling to read about just how much damage is being done, and you KNOW that nobody is going to do anything about it for years here. We have a man-child president, and while the majority of the biggest countries are trying to make policy changes to fight global warming, our president is dismantling our E.P.A organization, and putting idiots that don't give two craps about the environment in charge. So when can we expect polar bears to go extinct? Because you know by the time we get around to helping them, it'll be too late. The older, conservative generation just needs to go. Anyways, you should really read this article. I told you this was an issue that needed to be addressed, so go read it. +I can't say that I specifically care about the election, and would rather have someone besides the two main parties win for once. I also personally dont like Trump, as I find him to be a rather bombastic idiot, and wish Hillary wuold have won, though I didn't particularly want either of them. I hope he takes the stress of the election into becoming a better leader. +Did you hear about what happened in Afghanistan? There were civilian and military deaths during battles with the Taliban. I cannot imagine what the Afghan family members are going through or what the families of the Americans here are going through. It is such a great loss. This war has got to end soon. I know that the US troops are just trying to help the Afghanis but there are so many things that go on during these battles. I pray an end comes soon. +This is a nice little distillation of American culture. I cant criticize the entire thing enough. The shallowness of the need for fake aesthetics, the absurdity of the legal system, the shoddy products of huge corporations playing to the solipsism of American sheep. It's just another sad piece of shit. Calgon, take me away. +Can't believe the jury failed to convict the people involved in the National Wildlife Refuge takeover in Oregon. The people weren't even from Oregon. They traveled half way across the country, invaded the facility, and barricaded themselves inside. Yet the jury didn't find reasonable cause to believe they impeded Wildlife Service workers from doing their jobs. Bunch of alt-right would-be cowboys. +Whenever you hear about tragedy you can't help but put yourself in their place and worry about how they feel. You wonder about how they react, and how they can believe that a simple accident can hurt someone that they love. I am sure that they will second guess themselves, and wonder how they could let something like that happen. +Can you imagine what kind of heartache these people must be going through? I don't know what it would be like to have to live in fear that your own country is going to be bombed, let alone receiving a messages basically telling you that if you don't get out now you could die from a bombing. Politics is making life so hard for so many innocent people. +Muslim immigration seems to have some unique issues. I think the solution is to hold off with allowing much Muslim immigration until Muslims start polling better on ideas involving apostates, etc. As evidenced by polls (even in European countries), the ideas Muslims accept put them at odds with basic educational values. I think seeking a professional to talk and try to fix mental issues can be a good thing. The right therapy can likely help certain people. What concerns me is living situations that are unhealthy for economic reasons, and psychological problems concerning motivation. I suspect some mental issues may not be helped by seeing a professional. +Considering that since Donald Trump got elected, there has been a rise in reported hate crimes that have turned out to be hoaxes, I'd say there's at least a fifty percent chance this is a fake too. Even if it's not, it didn't happen to me or anyone I care about, and it didn't happen anywhere near where I live, so it's of absolute zero concern to me. Nothing more to say about that, but I know I have to fill in a certain number of characters. +i feel liek this is a very opinionated article. Im not sure who wrote this article but I truly feel like they have alot of raw mixed up emotional feelings that they cant get out. Although, we are all very aware of the constant changes going on int he world with equality and everyone going through the issues of being unjust and such..its alot to handle and alot of people just dont know what to do. i feel lbad for the people in the story +Let’s hope those are very isolated incidents triggered by people with mental health issues. It might be that there were crazy things like that happening before but we heard less about them. Still, I’ve been reading everywhere that hate crimes or incidents motivated by racism are climbing. And it’s not surprising considering that bigots are being empowered by people in high positions, some in a very high position… +I had no idea that the Great Lakes area had problems with earthquakes. I'm glad that it wasn't a bigger on but it is still had how much damage was done. I feel better for those families that lost loved ones. You would think in this modern age we would be able to detect earthquakes sooner and have enough time to evacuate an area. +This is a very sad article. Being of of the first female fighter pilots must have given her and her family great honor. I think that there should be more training for all pilots who deal in these acrobatic flying routines. I also think that women have just as much of a right to become a fighter pilot as men. +The article that I just read was about the ongoing violence and fighting between Kenya and South Sudan. The words in the article really struck a nerve with me. It made me cry. There have been thousands of people who have lost their lives during this argument. It makes me want to reach out and help in any way possible. The fighting needs to stop and peace needs to be restored between these two nations. +Josh, I just read about the Calais refugee camp that was set up in France to house the people from Syria that the maniac killing his own people drove away. The problem with all of this is the country of Syria must come to a place where they take back what has been taken from them. But you know why they can't? The citizens were not allowed to be armed and any weapons they have now have been supplied by us and the allies. Perfect example as to why our founders wrote the second amendment. +I just read about all kinds of rioting going on in Ethiopia. It's really a shame what is going on over there. This is an area which has hopes of dramatic infrastructure improvement and new jobs. Many people and organizations have invested a lot of money and now have to wonder whether they should continue to invest in an area which may be destroyed by rioters. It's so sad to hear about these beautiful farms and nurseries just being gutted and destroyed. The farms now have all these workers and equipment with nothing to do. The farms are gone. It sounded as if some of the elders in the community tried to calm things down, and it worked in some areas, but other areas just raged on with riots and destruction. Can't these people see that they are ruining their own future? +isis is now one of the major terrorists group operating in iraq . the Iraqi security forces are in constant war with it . isis have killed around 800 ppl in Iraqi city of Mosul and using 1000s of civilian as human shield to stop Iraqi forces advance and it make me worried that when it going to stop . we eliminate one group and another one pop up . this is a major concern for the world +This is yet another tragedy in need of our justice! This time we have a plane crash that had killed some very important polish people. This has recently come under investigation for foul play. These people need justice in their case and we should support any justice that will bring the truth out for these unfortunate people! +All in all the EU have to help the refugees. We have to treat people like we like to be treated. If there were a war here we also would be flee. We are afraid for violet’s so they otherwise they would say there. If they are in the EU we have to make sure there are no arguments , so we can still have our peaceful society. And I am sure that we have one thing in comment, we all live on the earth. +I feel that it is a common thing to have intentions misplaced. The article seems to discuss what the difference is between perception versus reality. I love to understand what part of reality I can dissect to understand how I can do better myself. For example if a family member tells me that something does not look right on my body I usually take it off. For example I had a bad weave on my head one time and I took it off after church and never wore it again. I love to always look my best and if I don't I will usually correct the situation. The perception of fantasy is often when people get in trouble because they perceive it as reality. I have always received constructive criticism from my parents so that I can also distinguish the difference as well. Parents should often be the critic ok. +Take a look at this story that I found online. It's about forest fires being spread out over a couple of different states, pretty interesting. I know that I sent you the pictures of what was happening around here, but you might be also interested in reading this story about how it is happening all over the place. +It is sad that this is what is needed to get some people to pay attention to the immense damage that has been and is continuing to be done by global warming. Something should not have to affect you in order for it to matter. There are things that are a lot more important than your coffee fix. For instance, the people-like the people in the story-whose livelihoods are being put in danger because of global warming. +I just read an article about the presidential campaign trail that focused on how sexist one of the candidates is. It's important that these issues are brought up, especially when it's on a national stage like this. I'm glad to hear people are publicly voicing their concerns and even revealing the troubling incidents they went through involving sexism. I hope after this political race is over, we can all reflect and learn to treat each other better. +The situation in Delhi is very much a product of a 3rd world country trying to modernize. the use of fossil fuels and lack of sanitation has led to this country having intense smog problems. This has reached the point where it is harmful to children everyday even in school. Idk when this issue will be resolved but soemoen has to interevene. +Isn't it just a shame the US is no longer the world leader when it comes to handling things like the Somali refugees? We should be in the lead with the repatriation efforts to help these poor people. Now, I know that we can't help every person in every nation but we should really be taking the international lead on issues like this. +Since Trump became president it has been clear that people who are racist, misogynist, and sexist people have been hiding, probably because society overall expresses these things as a bad thing. But since they see a leader that is like them, it gives them fuel to be bad people in public and even are proud of it. I just hate Trump and everything about him as well as his supporters. +Tigers are truly majestic creatures, and it's a shame that their numbers are decreasing. India cannot fight this battle on its own. The poachers sell to international buyers, so the governments of other countries should step in and help the Indian people combat these poachers. There should be a negative stigma on using any products made with tiger parts so that people would feel ashamed to contribute to this sordid smuggling trade. +And yet the deniers still claim that there is no scientific basis for the claim of human involvement. I bet some of them will latch onto the El Nino contribution to "prove" that it's just the randomness of nature. However, they will fail to understand that it's only a random amplification of the effects that we a directly responsible for by spewing so much CO2 in to the atmosphere. We won't get them to act until people are literally dying in the street. +Not a surprise to see the United States falling further down in the global rankings in yet another category. I think by the time our next Presidential election comes around we will be no longer be considered a destination country but anyone in the know. I don't see why this particular stat isn't a matter of culture though. I haven't met many women who expressed an interest in STEM and most of them didn't even want to talk to people who were into it when I was in college. Now women might be more interested but it still isn't going to be anything approaching equal because the culture doesn't work that way. +Wow! I cannot believe I forgot about the Zika virus! How can we advance as a society to try to grasp a better understanding of this deadly virus? You would think as advanced as human civilization is we would understand more. Pregnant women who get Zika seem to be in the most danger. The effects it can have on the fetus is horrible! It is very scary to know that it can be passed along sexually even if a person was not feeling the symptoms.Africa and Asia seems to really need help fro the rest of the world in fighting this problem! +I always read about these house fires and never think about them again. That is something that I should do less of. Maybe I can find a way to donate time or money for families in tragedies so that they can get back on their feet as soon as possible. This recent reversal of my attitude was because a friend of mine recently had their apartment burn out due to a building fire. +Thinking about the refugee situation around the globe is so disheartening. There are so many people who are only trying to survive who cannot find support anywhere. Those of us in countries with resources really need to start pushing out legislators to accept and support these people, especially when their situations are the result of our own policies. Humans need to look out for each other far more--we should value every life the same, no matter the country of its origin. +A mother pushed a stroller onto an elevator that was not there. The baby dies of injuries and the mother was hurt. The building had over 100 elevator violations but did not stay on top of things to make sure the elevators were working properly. The building neglience caused an infants death. I cant imagine going through something like that, that poor mother. +I really don't care about the article I just read. It didn't make me feel any sort of emotions, but I'm forced to fill in this box. Is boredom an emotion? I felt that while reading that massive wall of text. Stuff like the economy and businesses isn't anything worth feeling emotion over. It's also not even really worth worrying about when it's not something you can actually do anything about yourself. +This is just part of the troubling times we live in. There is a monster in the white House that a majority of the people did not elect and the Russian government had a hand in coming to power. He is breaking laws everyday and has the most corrupt cabinet in my lifetime. His agenda is simply to cause chaos and to profit off this as much as possible. The sooner this failed experiment is over the better of the nation will be. The only hope is that he doesnt start a nuclear war and that he will eventually be tried and brought to justice for his numerous crimes. +I’m glad that I don’t work at Well’s Fargo. To think that they would push their employees to the brink of suicide and having mental health issues is totally ridiculous. And all in the name of the almighty dollar. I wish companies cared more for their employees, than their bottom line. I have worked for a company for over 30 years and in the early years, the company cared about its employees. They treated us like family. The last ten or fifteen years have been so difficult. They could care less about their loyal employees. They treat us like dirt. All they care about is how much money they can make, never caring about how much stress they are putting on their workers. There has got to be a better way. I’m so glad I will be retiring in another year or so. I don’t think I could st +I reallly think this is quite sad. Poor people have the same sort of problems all over the world. I think this is because the rich are always keeping people down. I think that they pretend like everything is a racial struggle, but I suspect that the problems we face are largely because the rich are filthy rich and they have no empathy for the rest of us. +This article is quite disturbing in the way that Americans act towards one another. The display of the Confederate flag means different things for different Americans all over the country and it kind of makes me sad with the way people treat one another. Being an American means uniting as one, not fighting over a flag or the real issue, legal citizens who may not be white. +Hey have you heard about the polar bears? This global warming thing is going to take over there home land so fast. They will not be able to out swim the things that will b more of a chance at getting them because of whats happening right now. We have to help save the polar bears. Its been pretty terrible how the goverment and companoes just dont care to help save these animals. +Another doom and gloom article about Trump. Not surprising, ethics and truth passed out of journalism long ago. Trump is not against renewable power, he just wants a free market and he is right. The free market is the only way you will get renewables to the efficiency that they need to go global and push carbon out. If you coddle them they will get fat and lazy and never move forward. The Paris treaty was a push toward globalism and a boon for the liberals who dream of an elite class ruling the world. +This story makes me feel upset and aggravated because I hate that it is so easy to obtain guns in this country. I truly believe that there is no reason for anyone to have a gun and wish that the laws would change to make this the case, so I always feel frustrated reading about random shootings. I hate that we are subject to everyone else's violent whims as long as they can easily purchase a gun, so that makes me feel angry and also worried. I also feel sort of exhausted, since this happens in the news so much it just feels like yet another shooting story I have to be aware of, it's tiring. +How could this guy been shot several times, yet managed to make it to the hospital and tell what happened to him. It would seem like he would be in critical condition if that's the case. Sounds very suspicious. And for what reason would a random person just be blindly shooting in a night club. The reporters need to get down to what really happened there. +Did you see that Leonard Cohen passed away? You know, the guy who made the Hallelujah song. Poor guy passed away after suffering an injury but from what I hear he passed away in his sleep and he didn't suffer at all which is really good. It really makes you think that if he would of went to the hospital he might actually still be alive. Just make sure you get yourself checked if you ever hurt yourself. +A priest was abducted and tortured in Mexico. Authorities think it was a robbery but the church is convinced it was due to him being a human rights activist. It sucks that it happened but in all fairness Mexico is a shit hole and well known for cartel actions such as this. How many of your peers have to get abducted and killed or tortured before you learn to shut the fuck up or get the fuck out? In the end nobody but themselves to blame. +Wow! I didn;t know tigers were in such trouble! This makes me want to do more research and donate to the National Tiger Conservation Authority. We must protect these animals! It is so disturbing that poaching is still so problematic in today's society. I have heard of poaching of other animals, but rarely about tigers. I hope something can be done, and soon, to help tigers. +Did you see where there was a buss crash on the highway this morning? I don't think anyone got badly hurt, but it just shows you how quickly things can go from good to bad. I hope the one at fault wasn't doing something stupid like texting while they were driving! I can't stand those people! Well, however it happened, I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt or killed. +Trump is a fool. Climate change is real and it's starting to effect us directly. I wonder when he'll realize we have to do something. How much does it take? Maybe his golf curse has to catch fire just like the forests. This doesn't only effect us but the whole world and the life on it. United States needs to take action before it's too late. +Well nothing about this article was suprising to me. I'm sure it wasn't to you either. We've talked before about how much politicians like to brag, but there's very little to back up the whole "America is the greatest country in the world" thing. Interesting that South Korea has the most patents per people though. +This is also good. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, were "deeply saddened" by the passing of Reno, calling her "an extraordinary public servant who dedicated her life to advancing justice, equality, and innovations in criminal justice that would save and lift lives." "As Attorney General for all eight years of my Presidency, Janet worked tirelessly to make our communities safer, protect the vulnerable, and to strike the right balance between seeking justice and avoiding abuse of power," Clinton said in the statement, listing some of her top accomplishments. +So when I was a kid, the big thing I used to remember was reading about the poachers in Africa grinding down animal parts to then put into powder for men to snort to work like viagra. Today apparently those guys are going even further. They are hunting everything and anything just to make a profit. Not a surprise +I'm deeply disturbed to hear about actions being taking that could potentially curtail black Americans' ability to vote. The GOP has obviously been working to sabotage voting of minorities because they see them as a threat since they do not traditionally vote for Republican candidates. This needs to stop. +wow its just amazing to me how many countries look the other way while civilians are being killed or injured . Over 300 killed and over 400 injured in less then one month . There is no excuse for this . There is nothing on earth that should make this ok . I am sad for them . SO many lives are affected when will it stop? +Things are really heating up i dont know how much longer we can keep things up like this. if we can help they should tell us clearly how we can help out so that the temperature doesnt get too high. if it gets too hot then things will be really messed up for us and our childrens futures will be in danger +Hi mike, I hope you are. It's been hard to have these days over there when you need me here, my friend. I hope that you are taking care of all the dangers that you are going through, that you do it for us, for your people, your country but leaving aside all that you must teach in you and your family that are waiting for you here I hope you are well and can see you soon mike +I just read about the Elephants being killed for their ivory. It is such a sad thing that these elephants can't be protected by all nations. I think we should try to do more. Maybe do some research and see if we can help. I would sure hate to see elephants disappear and that is the way things are going right now. It would be a shame to lose these beautiful animals, just because of ivory. +When is the world going to realize that they need to start charging bullies with murder when kids kill themselves? Seriously, if you torture someone emotionally, how is that different from doing it physically? It's not. You're doing an insane amount of damage to someone's psyche, enough for them to commit suicide. Prosecute the kids bullying as adults, and start punishing these kids harshly enough to deter them from doing it ever again. Any adults aware and ignoring it? Charge them as accomplices to murder. +I just read a story about the tragic deaths that occurred as a result of the terrorist group in 2015 in Paris. It was gruesome to hear one man's account of the story. He said the shootings went on for 3 hours, and when stopped, it was only so they could load more ammunition and fire more. I couldn't help but think about the people out in the crowd who where hit and killed. It's disturbing just imagining that scene and the terror. And then one man, George Salines, got a call no one would want. That his daughter was among the 130 killed. The loss has affected his whole life, he left his job and everything. In one moment, anyone can be affected by severe tragedy. +I read an article about using the Internet and computers in the classroom, and how it affects kids. The article mainly talked about E-rate, a government program to subsidize the Internet and broadband access. It said that most classrooms are now connected, but the millions of dollars are still being spent. The program seemed to be wasting a lot of money and wasn't showing good results. I agree that just buying computers and being on the Internet doesn't guarantee that kids are receiving a good education. +It looks like Wells Fargo was illegally confiscating cars of service members to pay off debts, repossessing them. This is a terrible situation and thing to do, I can't imagine having my car repossessed, and how awful that must be on so many levels. Not having your car, having to watch them take it away, and everything. +Thinking of the earthquakes, makes me think of the issue on global warming and climate change. It seems like we are having more and more natural disasters. This leads you to think of the cause and how climate change had to be happening. I could not imagine. Shows you to be grateful, you never know what could happen. Something are just out of your control. +You know powerbars and protein bars? Well I just read about the next step called colon cleanse bars. No its not a diet food. Supposedly you eat it to "prep" your stomach for a colonoscopy. Well I bet you anything that in a week after production, every model and Hollywood actress starts popping these things as a diet pill +The political divide in this country has only gotten worse over the years. Trump in particular has allow a rather nasty aspect of American society to rise to the surface and be open about their nastiness. This means that people on opposite political spectrum cannot see eye-to-eye at all. This makes compromise even worse and less likely to succeed. +We should really do more for our veterans who come back with traumatic experiences. They do so much for the country, but they barely get the care they need when they come back. How rude of our president to make little of their situation. He has never and will never be their own shoes. He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth with no pity for anyone. +I can't begin to imagine going through that night. The recollection from the survivor is horrifying. I cannot fathom the thoughts and emotions of those who were there trapped for hours. The loss of so many makes it easier to become desensitized to it, but hearing the individual stories makes it so real and sad. +Russia claims bombed UN aid convoy was 'escorted by terrorists A UN aid convoy that was bombed on Monday night was escorted by a "terrorists", Russia has claimed in response to accusations it was behind the deadly attacks. Moscow has denied hitting the UN convoy, which was bombed as it delivered food aid to opposition-held parts of Aleppo on Monday night, minutes after the military declared the end of a ceasefire. The strikes, carried out by either Syrian or allied Russian warplanes, hit Syrian Red Crescent trucks as staff members were unloading aid in Urem al-Kubra in Aleppo province. More than a dozen were killed including Omar Barakat, the organisation’s director. Pictures shared by activists showed burned bodies next to a UNHCR badge. Russia's defence ministry relea +In my opinion, the girl mentioned in the article is just plain stupid. She shouldn't be taking selfies in the first place while driving, not only to mention that she was topless just so her boyfriend could get a look at "the goods." While you're driving, you should be paying attention and not playing on your cell phone because you're putting the lives of others at risk. +The modeling industry is very different than the rest of the world it seems. I read an article that male models, even the best ones, are paid a fraction of what female models earn. I guess this is because a lot more money is spent by woman in the fashion and personal products industry. The article says more men are grooming themselves and it's starting to bring wages for male models slowly up. I guess that's just business. +Now a days crime rate increased and now no safe for Muslim religion on USA, the american's doing something fishy and wanted. on New York city A Muslim woman’s clothing was set on fire while she walked down New York City’s Fifth Avenue, the police suspected a man who is standing with lighter and who ran away. +This is a sad article. Some many things are unknown for those born outside the country. It is always unfair that others are able to get deported after spending most of their lives in the USA, especially those that came at a very early age. Also US parents that adopt children should be granted us citizenship. +I can't believe what a nuisance gold fish can be. The fact that they can cause so much damage to an environment and have no natural predators is crazy. It makes you second guess flushing the fish down the toilet as it may survive. It's hard to believe that they get so big since they are usually just little fish in a small tank. Also it's weird that they travel so far considering we usually just see them swimming in circles. +I'm just in shock at what I read. All these migrants attempting to make a better life for themselves ironically met an untimely and unexpected end. We must think about all these poor people who are forced to flee and find better lives. We must learn to accept them instead of having them forced to survive. +I had no idea that Zika was discovered in 1947 and that there was an outbreak in 2007. As far as I knew, it was only the very recent outbreak that Zika was discovered. How wrong I was. It was actually really heartening to read this, because I want to start a family in the next few years and I was practically twitching with anxiety. I tend to get bitten by a ton of mosquitoes every summer no matter what I do while my husband doesn't get bit at all. And what about global climate change pushing things like this further north? It is good to know that it comes in and out of viral "fashion" and that there is a herd immunity aspect to it. Maybe I can put down the mosquito shotgun for now and aim for a slightly stronger spray for my clothing. +I'm glad that she let her customers know right away, that was very responsible of her. There's so many scammers out there and people who try to rip people off you can never be too careful. I'm always real careful when I order anything on the internet checking reviews and everything because I've been ripped off before. I ordered a handbag and it wasn't anything like it was perceived to be online. +So sad. Why is it that the social media giants can quickly shut down conservative speech, but cannot get a handle on these "suicide groups"? Mental health needs to be taken more seriously in this country or any country. With mental health not covered by a lot of insurance policies, suicide and depression will continue to be problems. I feel for these kids. I know what it feels like to feel depressed and hopeless. But anyone that preys on kids in these conditions needs to go to jail. It infuriates me. +Trump is a completely terrible president. Don't you agree? He's done nothing for the country, it's no wonder that he's gone down so far in the polls. anyone who supports him better comment so I can unfriend you right now. It's ridiculous. If you support him, you support racism, homophobia, xenophobia, divisiveness, and hate. +People love to go and see animals and experience them in the wild, especially in their natural habitats. You have to stop and think how this can be affecting these said animals. Public access to wild animals in their natural environment can drop birth rates and even cause death to the animals. They can become endangered and some people even go as far as to hunt them. +Global warming is real. The effects that is having on the polar bears will soon have the same effects on us. The research is showing that the bears are having shorter seasons of breeding and hunting. The ice is melting at a constant rate, but there is already a 7 to 9 day shift on the b time that they spend on the ice. They do most of their hunting on the ice and that how to meet their mates, so it is very important to them. It may not seem important to you yet, but as the Ice melts it will not only hurt the bears it will hurt you too. Rising sea level will hurt people like you that live in coastal areas. I hope you change your mind on how you feel about global warming and the melting of the ice. Our actions may have an affect on the polar bears and I believe we should think about it. +After reading this article on some of the federal prisons, I am extremely upset about the treatment of prisoners in these facilities. The way that the guards are treating the prisoners are literally inhumane. I understand that the prisoners are convicts and felons and really deserve to be place in prison as their punishment, but there needs to be accountability for the actions of the guards mistreating them and basically treating them like animals. Prisons are about rehabilitation or at least they should be, but in this article with the countless reports from prisoners about very distressing and disturbing situations I can't fathom to understand what goes on in the minds of these guards running the prisons. We seriously need to do something about these conditions. +I still don't like Kim Jong-un, but he may be starting to realize that being cooperative and living peacefully is a better way of living and leading, rather than the aggressive, threatening leader he is trying to show us in the past. We may never know his real motives, but as long as North Korea cooperates and be a productive nation, then a lot of other countries will help them in times of need. +My amazement with the acts of random humans never ceases. I often question how it is that I, another random human in this mixed up shit-hole we call "Planet Earth", can have unlimited empathy (to the level that I won't even squash a bug) and other people will go out of their way to run over an animal crossing the road. Humans can be rather sadistic and disgusting individuals. Every single day of my life I hear of some crazy story about someone beating something to death. +I am shocked and saddened by this. What a sad and terrible tragedy. I feel so sorry for all the victims and those affected by this event. I can't even imagine how devastating this must be for them. What an incredible catastrophe. My thoughts and prayers and best wishes go out for all the many people affected by this tragic catastrophe. I hope that everyone stays safe for the foreseeable future. I am still in shock. +This situation I read about concerning refugees fleeing to Mediterranean countries such as Greece and Italy is sad and concerns me. Clearly the conditions in their native countries have gotten to be so unbearable that they are willing to risk their own and their families' lives to try for a different life in another country, with no guarantee that life there would be an improvement. Its difficult to understand. Life must be so terrible in these countries due to horrendous governance, which I suppose is something difficult for the typical American to picture. I'm glad that we live in a country where there are relative freedoms and the individual and his or her family can live independently and get their needs met and wants. Living in fear is no way to live. +Wells Fargo has seem to hit an all time low is the company satisfaction and moral. The super giant bank seems like it does not care about the well being of its employees mental health. Mental health in the work place is very important for a long and energetic life. It seem like this bank doesn't even care. Employees have noted that there have been thought of suicide and hurting themselves as a result or the work load. +All of you know that I love birds. This article was hard for me to read because of that. Wind turbines are killing a lot of birds, including eagles. It's really very sad. It makes me feel awful. I am all for wind turbines and renewable sources of energy because of global warming and coal, but this is awful. I don't want these poor birds to die like this. Read this article and you'll see why. +You know, the world has progressed so far in the last few hundreds years, that it is slight off kilter that we allow the disappearance of goods and services to ensue. Is it always the fault of big business and government to allow things to go wrong as the case with diseases coconut and the potential that they cannot be saved. Are we not smart enough to ensure that before something disappears from the face of the earth, that we find a way to correct it, protect it, live with it. What happens when we run out of coconuts. Nothing bad will happen but we need not exploit things just cause we can. +I don't know if you ever owned or read a copy of National Geographic magazine but there is something interesting that has occurred in the news lately. It appears that the little Afghan girl, who was made famous on one of their covers, was arrested for trying to cross into Pakistan. She was trying to enter as an unregistered immigrant instead of a refugee. The Pakistan government wants to have her arrested. I mean afterall, she's just trying to do what's best for herself by escaping a land that is overrun with various terrorist groups and warring clans. I'm not sure if even the UN can provide her the assistance she needs. What it really comes down to is a matter of trying to get out of a bad situation in favor of one that is much more promising. I really think this is unfair to me. +Hey, I think that you should check out this article. I feel bad for the citizens down in Mexico City and South America. They are going through some troubled times and America is barely doing anything to help out with their situation. Those children do not deserve the life they are going through at the moment and I believe that we should do something to make them feel like they are proud to be apart of their country. +Global warming is an issue that has been brewing for some time and seems to be getting torn in all directions as it is not a grey issue but a black and white issue meaning it is either happening or it is not. It is hard to see which side has the more valid argument over the other since everyone involved is so passionate about their side of it all. +I bring you sad news today, my friend. A male wolf member of the Huckleberry pack has been slaughtered. How can they do this without consequences? This event happened in Montana. I have heard similar stories in that region of wolves being gunned down, especially from helicopters. It makes my heart feel heavy. I know you will feel the same way. I am strongly considering giving a donation to the Center for Biological Diversity because they are fighting on behalf of wolves to stop this murder. It was so cruel because the male was simply wandering for a mate. He didn't deserve what happened. +No need to read this article for my fellow animal lovers. Its just sad and kinda infuriating. People are just worthless shits. There really isnt much else to say about this. It was a preventable accident that didnt have to happen but did anyway because of people's thoughtlessness and carelessness and probably for fucking financial reasons as well. +Drunk driver I’m guessing. It is horrible. I hope he rots in jail. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers. It’s not fair that he gets to live. He took the lives of a mother and her children. I can’t imagine what I would do if that happened to my family. Life is so precious. It can be taken away so fast and so randomly. +I certainly feel bad for people having to live in such horrible conditions. However, I also feel bad for the regions that these refugees are going to. It has to be a huge strain on these countries to accept large numbers of homeless that will just depress their economy. It is a tough situation and I can see both sides of it. +I don't understand what I read here. The students were hijacking buses? What the hell? Regardless, the local police should not have turned them over to a drug cartel. I'm sure they are probably dead by now, but I support the family finding out what happened and get justice. They were kids, they didn't deserve to be killed for this. +I have not heard of this story, but wanted to see if you knew anything about it. I know we were talking the other day about being worried about getting stuck in a situation like this because of all the recent shootings. I think this story was a real eye opener for me, because it shows just how easy something like this happening would be. I feel that what you said about mental health and paying more attention to the youth is really another central point to this story. This story made me think even more about owning a gun and having a open carry permit to keep safe and be able to protect my loved ones and family. +Hello, I have just read this article and have to say that it was a very good and interesting read. It is about the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and they discuss how smoking should be banned in all parks, zoos, and playgrounds to reduce the chances of children growing up thinking that using cigarettes is normal. I can see why some might say that this is the last step before criminalization of the product and consumer. +Talking about Donald Trump is so depressing at this point. I wish that article had a little more about climate change in it, which seems to be the current biggest actual crisis of his presidency, but for some reason (horrifyingly) that topic divides people.I want to hear from people who have voted for him and who's minds have changed. +The research team from Australia’s University of Queensland said the Earth has lost nearly 1.3 million square miles of wilderness. They’ve defined wilderness as an area with no human development. Dr. James Watson of the University of Queensland in Australia said globally important wilderness areas are completely ignored in environmental policy, and much has been paid to the loss of species. Without any policies to protect them, they are “falling victim to widespread development,” he added. Dr. Watson also revealed that humanity has one to two decades to turn things around. To date, the world has a total of 30.1 million km2, or around 20 percent of the world’s land area, that remain as wilderness, with the majority being located in countries in North America, North Asia, Australia and Nort +It's interesting that Hughes was denied entrance at first - he had claimed that Muslim guards worked with the terrorists, but later retracted that and apologized. Might have been a bigoted knee jerk reaction. It is nice that these bands came back to honor those lost in the attack. I bet it was very emotional to be there. +I dont really have feeling towards the article i just read. This article did not really interest me in the slightest. On the other hand i do feel like any one that is associated with bin laden or that any one that is as sympathizer or a terrorist should be indicted and charged with acts of terrorism. +I just recently read an article about the drought out in the West. I had heard about the lack of water supply in California but I hadn't heard anything at all about the suffering in Nevada also. It seems that lots of Nevadians, especially the Native Americans who own land there are in trouble from the lack of water. With everything dying, it is difficult for them to keep animals alive. Is it also causing problems in families. Who would think that lack of water would be the cause of violence, abuse, and neglect. Such a sad article. +Hundreds of people marched through the city, disrupting traffic and spray-painting graffiti. Authorities reported instances of vandalism and assault during a rally that organizers had billed as peaceful earlier in the day. In other parts of the country, spirited demonstrations on college campuses and peaceful marches along downtown streets have taken place since Wednesday. –– ADVERTISEMENT –– A mainly peaceful protest by about 3,000 people ended in Los Angeles early Saturday with about 200 arrests for failure to disperse after police broke up the lingering demonstration. Hundreds joined a Friday afternoon “love rally” in Washington Square Park in Manhattan. +Why do people think they can just illegally enter a country? The article sounds so sympathetic and bias. Why do people act like coming here illegally is not breaking a law? "They haven't broken any laws!" Yes, they have. You break the law when you enter illegally! What the fuck! And you got Liberal scholars defending immigrants, repeating that nonsense of, "They don't break any laws!" What the fuck? As a Mexican, I am appalled by other Mexicans defending this nonsense and seeing Mexico encourage this illegal immigration shit. Mexico needs to fix itself so that it can house people that won't want to run away from it. Fuck Mexico, they have ruined a lot of lives and they are not held responsible. Quit being politically correct about Mexico. Hold them accountable. +To make sure that others are becoming a known way with how others are going to perform, with how others are going to be and how the people are being shown with how they're being done. To make sure that I can be done with how it can be done with how it can't be done. It has to be with how others are doing and making sure that has a lot of things, which make others understand with how their message and be shown and be helped. +Hey, did you read this article? South Korea always seems to have something going on. 26 were hospitalized and 29 were treated at the scene. It seems like more and more often this kind of thing is happening. There has to be a better way of getting points across without injuries. It's crazy and really unnecessary to cause harm for this. +Well I just read this ridiculously long article about someone who would take vacations with their family I think. The person just talked about some of their trips, and talked about how vacations and travel in general can expand you as a person. I agree with this claim, and wish traveling could be a little cheaper. +I just read a really, really long article about the outrageous use of torture by our government during the never-ending, so-called "War on Terror." Our tax dollars have been used to torture detainees (some of them who have been proven to be entirely innocent) which is a direct violation of international law and the US Constitution. Those who suffered this brutal treatment are now experiencing long term physical and psychological problems. The government has stonewalled and tried to keep the details classified. +Since you moved to Anchorage, I’m sure you’ve been aware of all the unsolved homicides that have occurred. Just wanted to say “stay safe”. Hopefully, that guy that shot at the police officer the other day and whose gun they say was used in some of those unsolved cases, was the killer. If so, his reign of terror is over. How sad that those people died for what appears to be just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I just don’t understand how someone can take the life of another unless their own life is being threatened. Who knows though? The killer could be mentally ill and think that perfect strangers ARE threatening them! Anyway, keep your eyes open and be careful! +Okay, I live by the Arkansas River so I know about snapping turtles. All this guy had to do is move to another spot and the turtle was not going to chase him down. I'm sure the guy must have been near a nest or something if the turtle tried to attack. Still, should he be charged with a felony? My Granny Jones used to make turtle soup out of the snappers they fished out of her creek. I guess the difference is he wasn't killing the turtle for food...But, a felony? +It's a little bit troubling that these teachers would be forced to leave because of political tension. It's not right that they would lose their jobs and their homes. There should be another way to resolve this issue. It's good that people are protesting this and they should be. Teachers play such a huge role and it will not be good for the students to be in the middle of this. +Passing this article along to you because I know you will think this is absurd. Gay men are not being allowed to donate blood to the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. Isn't that crazy! Apparently, outdated rules put them at high risk for HIV and they can not donate for fear of spreading HIV. This is super discriminatory as HIV is not just found in gay men. People instead should be appropriately tested for HIV. +I just read a very sad article on the elderly that are stuck in Aleppo, Syria due to the war there. Apparently, 200,000 people are unable to get out due to the government's siege of the area. There is a decreased access to food and resources for long term medical conditions are scarce. The elderly are having to sacrifice their well-being for the well-being of their children and grandchildren. The war needs to come to an end soon, before there is more suffering by the people of Syria. +I can not blame people for leaving. Living in an area that is prone to natural disasters, like an area that is below sea level and near a coast, is a bad idea. It is bad for the government of Louisiana, but you can't blame these people for getting out. And, of course, there is nothing that they can do to stop them. +Trump refuses to take a salary from the government for being president. Well he is rich so $400,000 is probably nothing to him. Its saving the government but that would probably be the only smart move hes made since hes been in the white house period. Im not a Trump supporter but I like the idea that he chose to save the government money. +Although coal kils I did learn that coal is important for baseload energy generation, coal plants are safe and easy to maintain and the fuel can easily be transported and the residue disposed of. Coal (with varying qualities) is an abundant resource, available to many countries within their borders. Uranium on the other hand requires a lot more work and safety precautions before reaching a point where it can be used as nuclear fuel.India is unfortunate as usual to be on the short end of the stick. +To show with how it can be done and understanding with how others are making sure that I'm not making sure, which of these things are becoming worse and how it's not being told with how the private message isn't being shown. I believe that it can't be how my friend is, because it's just not important and with it being bad, it's just not really good. +I really like Kate and she is an amazing actress. It sucks that she and her husband after so many years have decided to call it quits. America has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, which makes me feel that love is harder to attain today. Although I am a hopeless romantic and I feel that not every coupling has to be condemned to such a fate as Kate, Len and most Americans have to endure. +Just came across an article that involves shootings and people being killed. The story is about a white person in his 50's if I am not mistaking that was bothered by the loud music that was playing in a Durango by some black teenagers at a gas station in Florida. There was an argument regarding the music and some exchange of words. The white guy shot the 17 year old black kid 6 times. He was convicted for life with the possibility of parole after 2 years. He was denied. These situations are complicated and they are happening quite often lately. There should be a limit on many things, and one of them should be the guns. There should be a stricter gun control . +how are you drake I hope you are enjoying your new life and your stay in new york, I hope you enjoy this new stage of your life now that you are working as a journalist I hope to see you soon in a big television network or read your articles in the biggest national newspapers I hope it's good for you, my friend, see you later and take good care of yourself +Im shocked at the possibility, and now at the direct knowledge that the opiate crisis in america not only affects older people (adults), but also very young children as well. Opiate overdoses are sad and brutal but the same thing for a child stirs shock and sadness within me to think of the reasons it occurs and that could certainly be prevented. +There has been uprisings in Ethiopia. Looks like many people aren't happy with the industrialization and foreign investments taking place there. People had axes and sounded like a pretty serious event that may continue. Foreign investors are taking notice and may rethink their investments there or in the future. Really don't think of foreign investments in ethipoia but I guess there is. +This is a terrible story, but we can't go so far as to blame an entire religion for the actions of some. We hope what happened to Paris never happens again, but we simply need a bit more security and people with their eyes open - not attitudes against an entire religion or people. Consider these unfortunate ways of rallying countries behind one cause of peace. +Polar bears deserve the respect they deserve. They do not deserve to be treated the way they are now. There's no reason to kill these animals and it disgusts me that humans exist just to cause harm to them. I hope one day there's a collective effort to stop the growing genocide of these gentle and humble creatures. +What a legend, am I right friend. I have never really got into Lenoard Cohan much but I realize hard work when I see it. This man is a legend in his own rights. Books, poetry books while still an undergraduate. This man did it all. Did you know he was afraid to sing really and hated being in front of all the people at first but obviously he got over it eventually. That makes him so relatable towards me. I feel pretty sympathetic towards the family, they lost a great man. I am glad he made so much music cause his stuff will live on forever. Thats why I wanted to be a rockstar, to live on after I die. +i was reading about this article and got caught up in it because of the main topic when it had started, it began talking about all of these massive shootings that have been going on around the country. i felt like that was the main idea and discussing the murders in the united states i feel like they could have posted the differences between the states and other countries around the world as well. its free writing but i think it makes americans look bad. +i was reading about a dad who lost his daughter in the Charlie Hedbo attacks in Paris. it was touching. i mean, it was dark, him talking about losing her and those feeling, as well as those of other people who lived it. but his story touched me. he was talking about all the notes he recieved and how there was such an outpouring. he wrote a book, and he's healing. nice to see theres some form of recovery after something so awful +Getting old is sad. I hope they pull through. But, many people never reach 86. So, I can't feel too bad for them. They also probably lived a life many of us can only dream about. This might sound wrong, but I will probably forget about this in 5 minutes. Life goes on. I've already spent more time thinking about them than they will ever think about me. +you will not believe the crazy article i just read. Let me tell you about it. The article was about a man who had killed himself after killing his wife and the main thing that was being questioned was "why did he have to die?" What??? I don't understand why they aren't looking into why he killed his wife since they don't know. Its pretty easy to speculate why he killed himself. I just don't even know what to think about this article. +Hello Friend. How are you? How is your family? We had some time without contact, we should avoid that and always communicate. Of sure where you live this that I am going to say to you is already news but, friend, you must take care of you and your family please. I do not know if you found out but I read in a digital online newspaper samples of violence in Philadelphia, I could not get out of my head that you live in that place. Apparently a person who was armed shot in the stomach to an elderly man and another person who was accompanying him. One of the reports I've heard from the police is that the crime weapon has not been found, which makes me suppose that until now the police have no idea who was, and neither the clues to catch the bad guy. The police do not know anything so it means t +Please hug your loved ones because they may be gone at any moments of time. If you were in an argument with any of them please reconsider what has happened in the past and let it go. Life is short and we all have only one life to live on this planet. We should all cherish each other and enjoy life to the fullest. +This is terrible and really solidifies everything I feel about the racially tense issues going on in america right now that are just fueled by our current president. No one should ever have to be a victim of a senseless act only because of the type of person they are. We are all equal no matter our religion race anything. We need to really open our eyes up and realize there needs to be more love in the world. +It seems like the premises of this arguement is so shaky. Just because Russia and Poland may have had tensions for a while, it does not justify that they assassinated the guy. I mean, if everyone just assumex their enemy is the result of their misfortune, they will just be creating false tension with no real purpose. I understand that he is upset for their lost, and that this was avoidable from bad weather and pilot control, but still. +First of all, I guess I'm being too naive in my thinking that the KKK no longer existed. Also, I cannot see that this had anything to do with Trump, himself, but more some radical group trying to tie themselves to the Trump Campaign to make him look bad. I would not be surprised if this was "fake news" drummed up by the Democratic party in order to smear Trump. +I really feel bad for the Yemeni people. They were already unfortunate enough before this civil unrest. Now it has gotten worse and too many people are dying. I really pray that there is some order and that peace comes to this country. I feel for the family members of the the sick, wounded, and dead. +This is totally unsurpising for the UAE. The laws are usually lenient in these extreme cases though, which makes this occurence a strange one. There is some ulterior political motive at work here. This woman's misfortune is being used to advance some goal most likely. I wonder what they're up to. What do you think? +I just read an article that outlines what Obama did to help the "poor" compared to what Trump wants to do to take these things away. Obviously, the poor are going to have a much harder time under Trump's administration. I think it goes without saying that I hate this guy and I can't believe he is our president. I am counting the days til the next presidential election. If these idiots vote for him again, well, I won't believe it. Although, I didn't believe he would be voted in in the first place either. It is just sad that our country is taking ten steps way way back voting in this guy. +Mexico is disturbed by our current President Donald J Trump. Their currency Pesos dropped a lot when he was elected. Trump wants to build a wall between the two countries borders as well. The Mexican government seems very apprehensive about our new glorious President. Their economy might drop due to the building of the wall and lowering of all the immigrants trying to get into the U.S. by crossing into our borders. +These type of events of bomb explosions and terrorist threats are extremely dangerous and should be taken very seriously. People are just going around for their day and they don't really know what could happen to them and these type of incidents are very tragic and hurtful. The security measures in the United States should be more careful and should check anyone that is suspicious and make the country a safer place than how it already is. +I felt sad that the turtles are fading because of the habitat temperature rising annually. We, as humans can help I think by trying to not contribute to the increase of Carbon Dioxide consumption, we can stop global warming and try to help t he sea turtles from going extinct and so our children and grandchildren can see them in the future. +Hey, this article really shows how people can be compassionate in even the hardest places to do so. It's really an inspiring thing for them to do to go in and save these animals even in the midst of an ongoing conflict where they could have come to harm, as well as the animals. Also important is the situation in Gaza, and other conflict zones, makes it rather difficult to maintain a humanely run zoo, and have veterinarians on hand in case the animals become ill. +I cannot believe that the women in Trump's base don't understand that they are electing men who continue to ensure that they remain subservient and demeaned. I understand the whole "traditional family" structure, but this is ridiculous. Averting your eyes to abject misogyny because you want to win is appalling and disgusting. I just don't understand. +Ugh another big fight in Edinburgh. The city seems to have all kinds of problems like that. Plus they are kids! Where are the parents when the kids are out there fighting and attacking people in the street. Its just disgusting. I'm just happy that their victim wasn't badly hurt, but unless these kids face consequences they will just do it again and again. I think their parents should be held liable if their kids don't stop acting this way because it is obviously the fault of the parents for failing to take control of their kids. +Seriously, what's wrong with this guy! Who throws an animal to the ground for no reason. What a jerk. I hope the judge throws the book at him. He doesn't necessarily deserve jail time, but I'm thinking a hefty fine as well as many hours of community service. Sea World should file a restraining order from this guy as well. +The story about a woman theat was thinking of places she had been before and the terrorist attacks that had taken place. the thought of being in a place and having to worry about someone trying to shoot or inflict harm upon others is disheartening and makes me not waant to go out in public anymore for fear of my life. +Ugh - can you believe this story? First - why not just go to the doctor? Don't be shy, it's your dick we're talking about. Then, why insert a chopstick SO FAR THAT YOU COULDN"T GET IT OUT. Holy crap, that sounds awful. I am totally shocked to read this and can only imagine the pain - but then again, he did bring it upon himself. +Wow, it is pretty sad to see a happy family be devestated by a preventable cause. I send my prayers out to whomever was in immediate relations with the family. This makes me be more grateful for everyday life because i really don't know when my last day will be. I hope the fire department workers are emotionally well, because i know it can be distressful to see these thinga happen +This is really a moving story and I could see it being motivating for a lot of women. They can realize that anyone can be at risk for cancer. It doesn't matter whether you are a favour actress or an ordinary person. It can be devastating to families and often affects them in many different ways. Such stories should be more accessible to give people hope. +The Chicago district has shutdown about twenty five percent of there public drinking fountains. They have found levels of lead that are great in this area. It is believed that about one out of seven children have levels of lead in their system that the EPA deems too high. After the outbreak in Flint, I can see for their concerns. +It does seem silly that people in committed relationships are still affected by the donating ban, but I can also understand why such a ban was put in place. The trouble with anything is that when you try to protect some people, others rights seem to always be infringed and we're forced to decide which offense is greater and more important. I don't see why someone can't be tested, found to be clean and then give blood but I can understand why especially in an emergency when things can easily get overlooked the ban is a good idea. +What I learned about nature is that they cannot be predicted. Nature can look beautiful in one instance and can kill you in the next. Take a look at this shark incident. poor guy was play a game with some buddies and lost his life for no reason. Today you are here and tomorrow you are gone. Try to live as long as you possibly can before some shit comes along and tries to take it away. +It is so sad to hear about the poor victims of the train derailment. I feel that these types of accidents could be reduced if proper maintenance and planning are administered more carefully. When using mass transit the last thing anyone should be thinking about is "Are we going to die this time". When you travel you want to have fun and you hope for a great time. These types of tragedies should be scrutinized by the governments where it happens frequently. +I think the article is a bit hard to read. It is about the environment and El Nino and how they interact. The article was also about pollution and how the environment is changed by certain chemicals in the air. Because it's a science based article, it's a little hard to understand what the conclusion is. +Oh my god... I can't even imagine the fear those two poor boys must have felt. I can only hope they did not see it coming. How disturbed must one be to see this sort of thing as the only way out, the right thing to do? The pain and loss this family is feeling is probably only compounded due to the conflicting feelings of someone you love committing such an atrocious act on others you love, whose lives were just beginning. Poor babies... I do hope they didn't suffer. It shows that complaints of domestic issues should be taken seriously, by everyone. It states he was under investigation/being sought for domestic violations. How did he even get his hands on those boys? It's so sad. +You have what amounts to a horrible murder case in a rich area of Manhattan. Usually in a case like this police struggle to come up with a single suspect, but in this instance, you have two. There is no lack of evidence either. The police found a tremendous amount of evidence at the scene. Did they collaborate on the murder? If not, which one did it? The police will have a hard time with this one. +Hey! Did you hear about the elephant stuff in Africa? I know you care a lot about the environment so I thought you should see this. There are some countries that are for the poaching of elephants if you can believe it. Some more rural communities say that the animals harm their crops. I've never heard this side of the argument before! I'm not saying I agree with it, but we're over here in America and have a way different perspective on the issues. It's interesting to see how different things are over there. +Man, dont you just worry somtimes about how we got here? Its like I always knew this country which I love so much, was uncover still the most raciest place. The win of Trump just made it so much easier for all his ignorant like mined follows to treat people of color and some women, not at there equal, but as people who dont matter. Its sickens me to think about all they have done to people of color the most. Its like we are in 1960 again. +This is such a sad way for this actor to have to go. He contributed so much to his field, and he deserves a smooth, peaceful exit to life. I really hope that he and his friends and family will be okay. I know that it can be incredibly hard on the family to deal with these types of diseases and physical issues. Wishing them all the best. +Was this really Neo-Nazi fucktards? Or was this a left-wing attempt to incite minorities and drive them to the polls? Why are we not past this crap? Ridiculous. I love a lot of things about being Southern, but this crap drives me nuts. Who does this? Can we bring back the stockade? Tar and feather? +There are no words for how much I ignore Trump and his antics. It has made me numb and lose hope in the whole system. I no longer feel anything loyalty for America or its system. I think it is all a sham and no one should have to feel like that about their own country where they pay taxes to live and work and breathe. +You know I don't do politics and here is the reason..... "Moldovan Presidential Candidate Criticized For Being A Single Woman — And we thought U.S. politics was strange at the moment. Moldovan presidential candidate Maia Sandu isn’t married. And apparently that’s a huge problem for a lot of people, including her country’s leading religious and political figures." The press and political zealots have nothing better to talk about than if a presidential candidate is married. Seriously...if she were a he we would hardly be having the conversation. I would hazard a guess there are much more pressing issues to be debated. +That is nice. Isis is using Chemical Weapons against us now? What is the world coming to, and how much longer are we going to put our military out there for this? Especially now that they are being exposed to chemicals that can burn the skin, and due some bad damage. This doesn't doesn't seem right at all. +Some people are just disturbed. Everyone is going to point to mental illness in something like this, but I fear that when things like this happens, it gets easier and easier just to point at people and call them mentally ill. I fear that eventually we are going to get to the point where you can classify someone as mentally ill by the crowd. Just finger pointing. I feel for these victims and the victims of crimes in the future because we spend too much time making excuses and pointing fingers rather than dealing with the problems at hand. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/val_labels.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/val_labels.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..7898a81aadf34749f8393414495e83750533c4c7 --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/val_labels.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +5.333 +5.5 +4.667 +4.667 +3.5 +5.5 +3.667 +1.0 +5.833 +3.667 +5.167 +1.0 +3.333 +1.667 +2.833 +1.167 +6.5 +1.0 +3.333 +7.0 +7.0 +7.0 +6.333 +2.833 +3.0 +1.5 +1.0 +3.5 +3.167 +2.167 +1.167 +5.5 +2.833 +1.0 +4.833 +4.0 +2.333 +1.333 +1.0 +1.0 +2.0 +5.833 +2.167 +4.0 +4.5 +5.0 +1.167 +4.333 +1.0 +6.0 +1.0 +1.0 +3.0 +5.0 +4.167 +3.333 +4.833 +4.667 +1.667 +1.833 +3.833 +4.833 +4.333 +3.667 +4.833 +2.5 +2.667 +7.0 +7.0 +5.333 +1.0 +2.0 +2.833 +2.167 +4.0 +6.0 +4.5 +3.333 +4.833 +5.833 +3.5 +4.833 +2.0 +3.0 +3.167 +1.0 +5.333 +4.333 +5.833 +6.167 +3.167 +4.5 +5.5 +3.5 +5.0 +5.667 +1.0 +1.0 +1.0 +1.0 +1.0 +2.5 +4.667 +5.5 +7.0 +6.5 +6.167 +1.0 +3.667 +3.667 +6.5 +1.0 +4.833 +4.833 +5.0 +1.5 +3.333 +3.833 +5.833 +3.0 +4.0 +2.167 +6.0 +4.333 +2.0 +1.0 +1.0 +1.0 +3.0 +1.0 +2.667 +4.667 +5.167 +4.333 +5.0 +3.333 +5.0 +6.0 +2.167 +4.667 +7.0 +7.0 +5.0 +4.0 +4.0 +4.0 +6.833 +1.667 +1.0 +1.167 +6.0 +6.5 +6.0 +5.5 +2.5 +3.333 +3.167 +4.667 +4.333 +4.667 +3.333 +1.833 +7.0 +2.0 +2.0 +1.0 +3.667 +1.0 +1.0 +5.0 +5.0 +6.667 +1.0 +1.0 +3.167 +6.0 +1.0 +1.0 +2.0 +2.5 +1.0 +3.667 +4.667 +5.0 +4.333 +3.0 \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/val_text.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/val_text.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c7aac995b1dbe0dea79ba2e6621f006b1c69711b --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy/val_text.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +Here is another upsetting article I am sending you about a fire and a family. Funny how this bothers me more than the previous one. The parents and the children got out safe and they didn't die and they didn't get maimed or even scratced as far as I can tell but their two cats died and they lost their home. I am a cat owner and they are always "skitished" and afraid so my first thought is how terrified they must have been and then how awful the children must feel. The horror of imagining your pet burning (though they probably died from smoke). The children will not understand and it will take awhile to forget. +The artical also Trump campaign was unprecedented in its dishonesty; the fact that the lies didn’t exact a political price, that they even resonated with a large bloc of voters, doesn’t make them any less false. No, our inner cities aren’t war zones with record crime. No, we aren’t the highest-taxed nation in the world. No, climate change isn’t a hoax promoted by the Chinese. So if you’re tempted to concede that the alt-right’s vision of the world might have some truth to it, don’t. Lies are lies, no matter how much power backs them up. And once we’re talking about intellectual honesty, +I have come across an article about the civilian casualties in Afghanistan. The war is such a terrible thing. Small children are dying just because of some military operations, i.e. some grown-ups cannot negotiate and agree on resolution of the disagreements. My heart aches as I read that burnt children corpses are tended by mourning relatives. It must be unbearably painful to exist in such pitiful condition in such a poor country and on top of that to lose your children. Life is so unfair and cruel sometimes. +It is known that colonoscopy saves lives, but the preparation can be so unpleasant. I am so happy that researchers are working towards making it more tolerable so that more people will undergo the procedure that can save their lives. I am happy that many different options are available: not all involving colon cleansing (e.g. X-rays), that there is a dietary advice to minimize the discomfort (which food to eat before the procedure), etc. So, the person’s quality of life, their well-being in the short term is taken seriously into account. +I don't understand how people can look at stories like this and still claim that "guns don't kill people, people kill people". If guns were less available and less prevalent in communities prone to violence, then confrontations between people would be far less likely to be lethal. It needs to be more difficult to obtain a firearm in this country. +This was heartbreaking to read. I can't imagine what it's like to leave the house every day not knowing if you will come back, or of living in fear of letting your children leave the house to go to school because they might not make it home. Civilians should not have to fear for their lives when they're just trying to get through the day. It sickens me that the US has participated in strikes that lead to such consequences. +It feels like this is a bit of a lie and them just trying to fear monger and use GMO's. Grass and other things will survive..global warming simply means that we have too much pollution and it affects EVERYTHING. REDUCE POLLUTION and chemicals and we won't have such an issue. This article is simply scientists trying to make us sicker with more chemicals. +I am not sure what I just read. It seems to be about some sports event which I care little about. Sports are not my favorite thing and I don't know how anyone could lose sleep over a sports event. Much more important things in life. I also am not sure how to write such a long talk based on a very short paragraph about sports. +hey my best friend Joseph, how have you been? Do you believe this? There were thousands of females that left work in Iceland and went to Austurvollur square in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik to protest, there is discrimination against women cause they get paid way less then men do. Sucks we are still living a society where woman are not created or treated fairly. +I had to read another article with zero formatting for a survey. This one was about war in the Middle East. It was pretty depressing to read. Religion makes people do such horrible, hateful, stupid things. Apparently kids just pick up explosives, people get their heads blown off, little girls die for no reason. For what? Because someone's imaginary friend in the sky is slightly different from their imaginary friend in the sky? Ridiculous, disgusting. Imagine what these people could have accomplished if they dedicated themselves to knowledge instead. We could be on other planets, we could live for thousands of years or more. But nope, we'd rather hate and murder each other of something as stupid as "God" or "Allah." +We are living in a world that ha problems left and right and sometimes I can't help but to be sad because so many people and animals are suffering.Rivers are drying in some places and ll the fishes are dying while some areas have flash floods that destroy things and kill people.This are end times and am saddened all the time by such issues. +Another Muslim attacking Americans right here at home and you hardly hear or see anything about all these smaller attacks happening to regular people every day all over the country. And of course, they chime right in with excuses and the "don't judge us all" when they do nothing to stop it. They don't even condemn it at all, which really telling. +I think this is a bizarre article. I am not sure if there are air pollution problems in Sweden. This seems to be like an incomplete study. I would be okay if they took the angle that more densely populated areas are likely to trigger mental health issues because that has somewhat been proven in studies in mice. Using air pollution as a reason for mental health issues is weird. +This is such a non-story. Every day people are dealing with divorce and custody issues. This unfortunately has become a common problem. Generally speaking a story like this is sad to read or hear about but these are celebrities. Who cares about their problems? They are no more special than anyone else. People who get caught up in celebrity custody battles need to get a life. +You never know when a disaster could strike, and often it seems that they are the most unexpected and inopportune time. It's especially sad when you don't expect it. A whole family was lost in flames, including their family pet. Their house was turned to rubble and ash. You should always take the time in your day to appreciate everything that you have because you never know what could happen at any moment. Make sure to always be appreciative and caring. +Dear C., It's so weird how little I know about the food I eat. Just read an article about bananas, the kind you buy in a supermarket, which are apparently called Cavendish bananas and are expressly considered "commercial". Apparently, commercial bananas are under threat due to their lack of genetic diversity, making them prone to fungal diseases -- another variation, "Big Mike", went the way of the buffalo in the 60s for the same reason. I am not certain about the suggestion that wild bananas be used to produce new variations, tho. I have a hunch that this would drive the cost of bananas up, which is concerning. It might be possible in someplace like the U.S., where we have money for R & D, but I worry about how this would affect people in poorer countries. +It is sad that they cannot stop poaching. All wildlife deserves an equal chance to live freely on this earth. They should not be hunted down as trophies. I feel pleased that the security forces are trying to protect wildlife. I am also happy that rhino poaching is a crime that will help to protect the noncancerous. It hurts to know they hunt the animals just for their horns. That is sheer cruelty, not because they cannot talk but they do have feelings and should be allowed to live wild and free. +There should be a class action lawsuit against the company putting out dangerous products. They are liable for any injuries they have caused. People should be given restitution for the damages they have suffered. I am glad Kylie is speaking out against this and hopefully she can prevent further injuries to unsuspecting consumers. +Trump and Putin talk about Syria in pacific terms but then Russian warships bomb Aleppo, the bombing said to be for "show." A show that is destroying the city and its people. This is really outrageous. At least we are getting some reporting about it, even though it's just frustrating since we can't really do anything, and Trump is looking the other way. The Syrian problems seem likely to drag down the world for years to come. +My feelings and thoughts regarding the article I just read, is what I want to sit down and compose a brief message to you, in regards to it. I think that the Greenhouse Effect is highly over-rated. I find that the forces that oppose and are against it, has a strong point. As well, those in favor of it is also right, and just to want and seek and work towards ways that would be in the best interest of our lives and our environment. I believe it they would not show any interest, then whatever the harmful effects would only increase. Those in opposition, who feel that it's just an umbrella word to funnel monies in areas that are not needed. That believe Mother Nature and the natural state of how our Earth and it's environment works, are also somewhat correct. I wish each would meet halfway. +I am writing to you regarding the floods in Louisiana, and all the displaced residents. I try to put myself in their position, and wonder what would be my hearts desire as to a viable solution. If it would be more beneficial to relocate to another area, where I can then begin to rebuild my life, and replace that which was destroyed. However there is an underlying disadvantage to Louisiana, as a whole, if in the case so many would want to leave and relocate. The State is in a very difficult and decisive moment, given what they are faced with. Especially in the areas of unemployment, on average when someone is having problems finding gainful employment, they will move to another location for work reasons alone, and nothing to do with a natural disaster as Louisiana is faced with. +I am writing to you in response to an article I just read about Nevada and the water supply. It is of a truth, as the article points out that the news media primarily only follows what happens in California, and not Nevada. Which is the driest State, and in need of attention and assistance. I'm impressed with Verna Brady, 86-year-old resident there. Who cites she would rather move forward, than behind, that she, although an elder with many childhood memories, would rather adapt to what's required for today, than harbor on what use to be. That's a large statement, because when it comes to tribes in America, a lot do not to be displaced, or relocation, creating emotional and psychological problems are the results. However the present state is also causing more abuse factors in the family. +I'm not sure how to feel about this. We really do need to go green, but at what point do we call it green when it kills so many animals? I'm a little aghast, even though I know science needs evidence in numbers, that they are wasting money on figuring out that species that typically migrate are *gasp* being killed in places other than where they are from. Put that money towards developing something that stops the problem. We need green energy like wind and solar, so let's find a solution to make it so that we don't keep losing what we're trying to save. +I recently discovered a few articles that I believed to be quite interesting. The first article talks about how people argue that smoking should be banned in public places so that children would not imitate them. I personally don't have an opinion on this matter; I don't have children and I'm not a smoke either. The second article disturbed me a great deal. It talks about the work of a food inspector and it surprised me how dirty some stores can be. It really makes me wonder if I should continue going to that place near my house that does not have a perfect score. +I just read this article about how ISIS are doing dehumanizing acts upon former law officials. It disgusts me how they do what they do and are not being stopped. I believe that every nation in the world should rise up and stand against ISIS. They should no longer be able to continue to do what they do on a daily basis. +Darrell Issa is considered the " mini Trump" to many voters. To my Republican friends who support this candidate I just have a few opinions of my own. First I would say Issa never receded his support for Trump after the Infamous Hollywood Access recording. For somebody who preach's morals its kind of hypocritical. Mr. Issa has been motivated by fear of political repercussions more than his constituents’ best interests. He is now trying to distance himself from Trump because polling suggests that supporting him is not in his best interest for reelection. This guy has no morals and should not be supported for his constant flip flopping. +The Russians are always being provocative and trying to show force especially against the United States. There dangerous ways almost cost one of there pilots his life. This is yet another attempt from Russia to yet further distance themselves from NATO and to show they fully support the murderous Assad regime. +As much as I love dogs I must say this was totally the owners fault. The rule was the dog needed to be on a leash. The woman did not follow the rules and the dog ran over to a stranger. The dog scared the stranger as is expected. I have had many big scary dogs running towards me and wasn't sure if it was going to attack me or be nice. The man got scared and shot the dog. Its sad but the man did not know if the dog was going to attack him. +I just read about a car crash in Prince Georges County, near Clinton. It involved three vehicles and it happened at the tail end of rush hour. It said that one woman was critically injured, but I wonder if the passengers in the other two vehicles were injured. Maryland drivers suck. I avoid anywhere near DC since the roads are not conducive to safe driving. +Man this news story is really crazy and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Just warning you that the content is kind of disturbing but it's so scary that things like this could happen to just anyone walking down the street! Feel free to share with anyone else in Australia; I hope that poor woman is okay. +I found this article and wanted to share it with you. Very disturbing and odd results from the 2016 presidential campaign demographics results. Very surprised to see so many Lantinos voting for a dude who is so blantly racist.I think all the Black people who voted for Trump are going to see that they were uninvited to the family barbecue next year as well XD +This guy that I just read about seriously cannot be trusted. He was going around acting like an apartment belonged to him when it did not in actuality. I wonder will he be punished sufficiently. I doubt it. He will probable just strike a deal and that will be the end of it. He needs to be publicly shamed. +It is unfortunate that Venezuela seems to go through so much as a country due to politics. I do not know why the United States of America will not be more proactive in helping this less fortunate country. A lot of people complain about Chavez, but that seems to be when the country was the most stable. +The gun issue in the United States of America is becoming a joke for the entire world to see play out. Apparently, as anyone can see, guns are causing more harm than good in all communities. Perhaps since this fatal shooting involved a cop with possible mental issues it will put the spotlight on both issues. I will not hold my breath though. +The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body.

So, this is must be injurious to the human body. +The police asked for help to the people for identify the lady. I think, she was escaped from the police custody and placed in the Philadelphia high way. The police explores the identification marks of the lady. The police asked for help to the people for identify the lady. I think, she was escaped from the police custody and placed in the Philadelphia high way. The police explores the identification marks of the lady. +This is messed up. Burma’s government is a joke. They are so corrupt. They basically slaughtered their own citizens. I feel for those displaced families. It’s defintiely a scary situation for all those involved. Someone should step in and put a stop to this. The United States or UN can do something. We should send aid. +I agree that this election is stressful. There seems to be a lot of tension between parties. People are worried about what could happen if Trump wins. I think all of the racists will come out of the woodwork. People won’t be comfortable. As a minority, I think things will feel different. People aren’t scared to post when behind a wall on social media. +I’m so tired of Republicans. They never compromise. They want it their way. They never meet in the middle or half way. The government is a joke and can’t get a thing done because of the divide in parties. Democrats are willing to meet in the middle but it doesn’t matter because conservatives will only have one way. +Global warming is really serious. Sometimes I think, is this a good time for having kids? I don't want my kids have a chaotic world, full of adversity and contamination. Also, I think my nation is in "control" for now, but future seem different. People now don't care about being correct and helpful to everyone, a lot of people is dishonest and disloyal. We need a society that we can trust. Our world is extremely corrupt, I think this can be change if we gave enough education to all generations since they are kids. +Why am I so ignorant when it comes to politics. I just reread an article 3 times over to try and figure out what it was talking about with Trump and jobs and discrimination and racism by the end of it all three times I felt like I had read gibberish. Is that how politics are for you or do you actually understand it. All I understand is that I don't agree with Trump I don't agree with his Antics I don't agree with his policies. I'm not sure if he's selfish or just a moron right now. How do you feel? +Hey I know you are busy but I wanted to share something that is laying heavy on my heart. The nigerian paper is reporting of mass rape done by the government. Women and children were raped by policemen, soldiers,camp leaders and vigilante groups. This makes my blood boil. How does this make you feel? What can we do? +I really didn't know Leonard Cohen that much growing up, only listen to a couple of his songs, wasn't a big fan but It's tragic that he died, to be fair its a good way to die at an old age and died while asleep, painless and nothing that hurts him. He also said that He was ready to die, so lets take that in for an account, that he was prepared to go. So he died peaceful. +Corals around the world are dying and especially corals in the Great Barrier Reef. Factors that contributed are the increase of temperature due to Global warming and Humans destroying them.The articled stated that half of the Great Barrier Reef corals are now dead from 2016-2017. That's only a year. Imagine swimming with no corals, no corals means no fish ecosystem to look at. +It's always sad to hear about someone(s) dying especially there are children involved, luckily only adults were killed according to the article and the children survived but it's emotional, physical, and mentally hard for the children to adapt to it. Maybe the adults were there parents and watching somebody kill your own family members is heart-wrenching. My love and prayers go out for the kids +It is really sad the way that people only see one side of the story of the Afghan war. We only see things from our side of the pond, and we see the good , but not all of the bad that we do, as a country. We tend to think of things, in generalities, and lump groups of people who live in a common area, into one pile of terrorists. There are plenty of people in Afghanistan who are against eh taliban, and we dont see the damage that we are doing by hitting them with drone strikes. Most casualties in wars are civilians , who had nothing to do with the conflict itself. There are always conflicting stories about the death tolls. I believe it is used to de-escalate our fears that , we, as a country, are doing something that could actually turn out to be very harmful instead of helpful +I just read this article about how Canada actually had school where they would force indigenous people of their land to go. They tried to erase their history , and their language. I always thought canada was such a peaceful country. These people were even experimented on, and the school was still in operation up until 1996!, That is astonishing. I thought, we , americans, were the only ones who forced the indigenous people away, or tried to kill their culture. This just shows you that people are pretty much the same, and pretty much were savages, until recently. Even now though, we still have a long way to go, until we reach a place where everyones culture and differences are celebrated, and not shamed, and destroyed +I never read up much on Thailand, but it seems as if the place might change a lot in the near future. The king died, and the queen is dying. There is some shady general who is taking over now. The people of Thailand, loved their king, and he gave them a sense of stability, in a crazy political climate. They mourned the former king for a month, and now the queens death, may follow very soon. I am glad, though I never think about it, how lucky I am to be in a country with some "sense" of stability, and not ruled in constant flux. +I blame reality TV, for all of the crazy people doing anything to get attention these days. Apparently a man was bit by a snake, after trying to take a selfie. People today are so interested in themselves, and selfies, and social media, that they often miss the real world around them. This man was literally bit by a snake, and still posted the selfie, and was more worried about how many "likes" he would get rather than his snake bite. It sets a bad example for kids, all of these "challenges" their doing. and, walking down the street , paying more attention to their phones, than the road. +Did you see where Republicans are trying to stop black people from voting. It's like its 1800's again in the U.S. and the rich are using the Southern Strategy to stop likely democrats from voting, using the divide and conquer strategy of trying to turn the people against each other instead of who they should be against. rich republicans. This is fascism, naziism, and we are going to lose our democracy if people don't wake up and get in the streets and demand these people be stopped. It's literally a coup of our government. +When you are a police officer there is a high chance you'll get shot, this kind of thing happens because people have an easy access to guns, if there was a more strict gun control, less officers would die during their service, but well, the government prefer guns over people's lives. poor officers, but they had a risky job. +I feel bad for the victims of this murderer, they did nothing wrong to be attacked during their everyday life, they were innocent. I'm extremely angry with the neo nazi murderer, he was an egoist and I'm mad with the gun control laws that allow people with "metal health problems" to easily purchase guns. +This is another example of the racism in this country, the officers again use extreme deadly force against a black person, just because he was black, he was not a threat and yet they shot him without hesitation. We feel more insecure with officers around than safe, and still they can kill people and get away with it. +As I was reading our local newspaper last night, my eyes came to rest on several reports of yet another handful of the farm attacks and -murders South Africa has become known for over the past years. Farm attacks and -murders which see journalists having to write these reports with words I cannot even begin to imagine the sickening feeling of. Words like “boiling water poured down 87-year-old farmer’s throat for hours on end,” and “his wife and two teenage daughters were tied with barbed wire in the bathroom, after which they were repeatedly raped, burned with a hot iron, and stabbed with a sharp object.” +My tears and rage will do nothing to ever change the mind and heart of a person who is, I believe, morally beyond the point of return. But I cannot stop these tears from pouring down my cheeks as I wonder what the f**k is wrong with our society. P.S. Since the report on this cruel incident is only available in my first language, Afrikaans, and on the website Netwerk24 where one has to be a paying subscriber to access their news articles, I am including a short video uploaded by the young farmer herself. +The first time I tried to commit suicide was the most painful. Two months after starting my first year of highschool, boys started treating me like a prostitute. My “friend” at the time told everyone that I enjoyed the rape. That I wanted it. I was called a whore and a slut by my peers. Older boys attempted to have their way with me. I started acting like one. I sent nudes to anyone that would ask. I believed I was only needed for sex, that I wasn’t worth anything other than my sexual appeal. I was 13. I was self harming any chance I could. My wrists, legs and chest were full of cuts. Eventually self harming didn’t help anymore. I didn’t want to live anymore. The thing that pushed me over the edge was when my “friend” invited me to a group chat with her minions. They talked about me like +I always hear about Syria but I never knew how bad it was for older people. Some of them did not want to leave and now they can't get out at all. There are barely any medical services at all. Hardly anything to help with all the old age medical conditions that show up later in life. These people don't have enough food. They are scared they will die alone. I don't think many people have thought about this. I am so heartbroken for those people. I wish I could help them. Syria is such a mess. I pray somehow this can all come to a end soon. Too many deaths have occurred. These older people never thought they would have to live like this. Everything was normal until the war for them. I think more people need to know about the older people living in Syria. They are just left there to suffer. +I can not believe Canada took so many native people and put them in their "proper" schools. They took away their language and their heritage. And on top of all that 6000 died! Plus many were abused! This is horrible! I am so upset by this! I mean seriously? How could they do that! And the worst part is that was still going on all the way up to 1996!!! That is insane! And they only apologized in 2008. Way too late. I mean the harm they did to these children is massive. They need to make up for what they have done! +So there were the guys who were basically mad the government made local land into a wildlife refuge. They went as far as getting a militia together. They had guns and were watching. They had a whole group of them involved. The problem is they shot and killed someone. Can you say it went to far? I do. I think the whole thing was a bit much. I mean they just took over the federal land. You can't just do that no matter what you stand for. +I had no clue Oklahoma was getting so many earthquakes lately. Apparently due to the oil companies injecting waste it is triggering a lot more earthquakes. They aren't massive ones, but still 5.0 is decent. It caused some damage to buildings and stuff. People even at the oil company felt it really well. It shook everyone up a good bit. But its crazy that its becoming the norm there! So crazy. +There are so many instances of shootings and mass murdering happening around the world today and the example brought up in the article like the Orlando shooting just shows how there is a culture these days where people just don't care anymore. More and more people find it okay to take the lives of innocent people for their own screwed up agenda, whatever that is so that they can show that they have control over the situation. I think a huge problem here is gun laws and there should definitely be some sort of change that occurs. +I feel like the shipwreck amongst other violence that occurred in this article is pretty sad. Like other articles that I have read, it seems like there is just so much death occurring and there is not too much coverage over it. The amount that we do see don't seem to even scratch the surface as there are many other acts of violence and events that occur that take the lives of many other people from places like third world countries that don't even get broadcasted at all. Sad to see that our world is slowly spiraling into this chaos that just continues to grow. +so i just read this article, a very interesting one. you all need to read it to understand what it is really about. there is a way the author puts things in a very simple way for everyone to understand. i would encourage you all to find it and read it. it will be worth your time. +Hello, I read the article ,and I feel like they both have reasons for feeling the way they do, If Russel was offended and felt like she was a threat he could have called for management or someone from the crew to remove her, he should not have attempted a hostile removal. She had to have been upset by Russell's rude comment, and I think that was a hurtful comment regarding her career.I do feel bad for her regarding how she was treated. +I thinj it is our responsibility as a first world country to be providing assisstance to these area in brazil and Columbia. Zika Virus could prove to be an epidemic and that is a global issue, not just a country. Giving them access to proper medical training to spread better health practices and health education to the population could be the most effective thing to preventing more spread of the virus +Being interested in sports and health together, this is a solid article showing the impact eye injuries have on different types of sports. It's somewhat common to see these injuries present themselves in basketball, baseball, and sports without protective gear. That's just the nature of sports where consequences happen. +I am a little bit on the fences about how to approach immigration and the Mexican border problem. This article talks about different issues President Trump has had his hands in on and how some problems are arising. I think the countries need to stand alone and work on their own issues so they have home build strength. Seems like a lot of compromising is not taking place. +This is one of those articles that can really make you feel paranoid. Like, what if suddenly there is a red squirrel in my backyard and it has this sickness? And now I might have it. You know? Stuff like that. In the other hand, it just shows how little we know of these world. Of the illness, the animals, how it affects us. So much to discover +Heck no, this is one of those topics that I could talk about for hours and hours. It is so stressful the fact that animals are traded like that, just unbearable. People who do that, should be the ones in the cages. They are not even humans, they are monsters. And of course they have to find a way to teach the countries what to do when they face this type of situations. And they better do it quick. +It brings me great sorrow to tell you about a horrific incident that left two children without parents after a mechanical failure at an amusement park. It is truly shocking and disturbing that this could have happened. Thee two kids lsot both parents and they watched them drown which is disturbing to think about. +Robert Vaughn passed away but I don't really have anything to say about him. people die every day and he was in his 80s. He was in some famous movies and seemed dto have lived a full and happy life. He wasn't in anything i have ever seen and i never heard fo him before. maybe ill check out his movies someday since he was fmous. +Even though Donald trump condemns these actions by his supporters it doesn't stop the fact that he incites this sort of behavior with his comments and his proposed laws. Trumps supporters, well a decent majority love his call of racism and bigotry. It is bno surpise that his supporters are the epitomy of racisma nd there behavior is not surpring. +Hate seems to be increasing in this country. I just read an article that hate crimes are going up. I don't know what's going on but people can't seem to handle themselves and use restraint. People are becoming too short-fused and trigger happy on attacking others with hate crimes. I hope things get better but the article didn't seem too optimistic. I guess the more we talk about this kind of stuff the better so it doesn't get ignored. It's an important issue. +In Moldovan, the lady running for president is being discriminated against in a very public way. They are saying just because she's not married, she is unqualified to lead the country. They care more about her personal business than her politics. It's a shame they are acting so backwards toward her. It makes me want to cheer for her just to spite them. I hope the rest of the world catches up to the idea everyone should be treated equally. +I think this article is really inspirational. I didn't realize how much food we waste and how inefficient we are in this respect. I would like to change the way the world behave but this would be a big undertaking and I think it may be too big. There are small and big things that we can do with our daily meals and meal planning that can help with this problem of food waste but I think it will take more time and money to implement it. And im not sure what percentage it will get us towards 0% waste. If it gets us less than 1% more efficiency in how we use food, than it may not be worth the effort, and we may need to look at other ideas. Combating food waste could also lead to an increase it food poisoning since questionable foods in our refrigerator are thrown away as a precaution. +Hi! What do you think of this? I know you hate the pipeline as much as I do. Wonder if this would have a chance of working? We all know money is more important than human life, unfortunately. I'm skeptical, but then again, nothing has worked so far, so why would this? I don't know what to think. I don't have any actions I could take at this point, anyway. +I think in this day and age, there is no reason to be poaching tigers, or any other rare game for that matter. I've discussed this with my friends before, the poachers are generally low status people, trying to feed themselves, and they're selling to the highest bidder they can find. Even if you jail the poachers, more will pop up out of desperation. One day, we'll look back and see all of the greed killing rare animals purposefully, rather than the crappy way we move them out of their territories naturally as humans. +I have very little sympathy for Turkey, it's a country that has been playing every sides of the field it can for a long time. It is so split, because of this. I feel for the people, and that's why there are so many split groups, not counting outside terrorist groups trying to gain influence in the area. I feel nothing for the country, only the people. +To all those with family members deployed in Iraq: God bless your military members who are currently trying to free Mosul from ISIS control. May they rescue and help those poor civilians that ISIS has taken as human shields. May both the US and Iraqi troops and those being held captive be kept safe. +We’ve been huge supporters of Ashton Kutcher’s campaign against human trafficking so I wanted to let you know of a situation I just became aware of. We usually think of human trafficking involving the kidnapping or sudden disappearance of a person. I just read about two pre-teen girls in Burma who were sent to work to help their family. Everything was legit at first, but as time progressed these poor girls, children really, were denied contact with their parents, tortured, and forced to work for no pay. My heart broke for them and for their parents. What’s even worse, the police ignored the parents’ request for intervention with no success. How agonized the parents must feel that they sent their daughters into this situation. +Wow.. You have to check this out. There was a horrible accident on a family type Water Ride in Gold Coast Austrailia. 4 People were killed..2 women ages 42 and 32 I think, also two men, 38, and 35,. This is what happened...2 people were ejected from the raft and the other 2 were trapped inside..they all died. The park was shut down. The thing that makes it wierd is that the water feature is like a tame family type ride..Definately things families would go on together. Makes you think Right? +I didn't realize there are still a lot of Hatians who are suffering badly since the quakes years ago. It seems a large amount of them have made their way to Brazil and central America to try to get work and get a better life. This has turned out badly for a lot of them. They have been victimized and injured and killed by gangs and terrible conditions on their way to try to get to America. When they do make it they are often given a court date to appear at some future date. Because of immigration policies many of them are suffering. +President Trump is so stupid for pulling out of the Paris deal. Being that our Country is held highly among-st the rest of the world, you would think that we would be considered with the environment just as much as everyone else. How can he believe Climate Change isn't real How is he allowed to just pull us from this deal we agreed to? It seems pretty stupid to me that he can just make these changes on his own free will. What happens later down the road when the impact of these decisions are felt and the earth really does have an Angry Summer? +Since I have no children and don't plan on having any, I don't really have an opinion regarding the ease that women choose to have cesarean instead of natural births. I don't think my opinion would be well received and I myself know I have no experience in this. I do believe, however, that a woman should look at all available options and decide what is best for her and her family. +I can't stand these Jenners and Kardashians. But I have to give them credit for making a living from doing nothing. I guess that is the new American Dream! THey are producing a product that people want to consume. Isn't that sick? The crazy thing is that this family is going to become the normal and accepted family environment. +This article is very tiring. I am tired of hearing about the corruption of politicians. There does not seem to be a single good moral politician. It would be impossible to win and position of public office without corruption. This is just another example of more corruption. Why do the biggest low lifes decide to be poloticians? Maybe because they are the type of people that like to lie and cheat there way to money and power. +Michael Moore to Democrats: I told you Trump was going to win — On Wednesday, filmmaker and activist Michael Moore penned a "Morning After To-Do List" for Democrats that has, as of Thursday morning, been shared more than 180,000 times, liked more than 350,000 times, and commented on more than 18,000 times. Moore also says Democrats must fire the pundits, pollsters, and members of the media who refused to let go of a narrative about the election that proved to be incorrect, force aside any Democratic members of Congress who aren't ready to fight, and remind everyone they meet that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. His No. 4 item, however, might come as a surprise to Democrats who are posting their own status updates on social media about how "shocked" or "stunned" they are at this outco +here regular army checkpoints serve as a reminder of the serious threat Boko Haram still poses. But despite efforts from aid organizations like ours, there are still 2.2 million people living in unreachable areas in northeast Nigeria, with no contact to the outside world ― and no guarantee of safe passage for aid workers. We don’t yet know the full extent of the crisis ― the Nigerian military and humanitarian organizations like Mercy Corps are still trying to push into these parts of the country ― but based on what we’ve seen so far, we fear the worst. “The carnage becomes more glaring as we gain access to newer areas, and it has become a struggle for those of us in the forefront to comprehend how to help the thousands we come across who need our support,” said Michael Mu’azu, our humanita +I was just reading this article and thinking about how lucky we are to not have to experience such things. Even when major weather events or natural disasters are close by, we have the ability evacuate and miss the real damage. I've never had to deal with anything like this and I think it would be so difficult--I wonder how the community will come together to support each other. It is so sad that so much destruction can happen so quickly and totally upend the lives of so many. +This is such a terrible thing to happen to so many people. I wonder how a town can meaningfully bounce back and rebuild their lives. I don't know what I would do if this happened to me. Move? Work on recreating the city? Turn to the government for hope? It just seems so overwhelming and impossible. I feel so grateful to have avoided such an experience. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help. +i think this article represtens us in the fact that all ee see in our fracebook timeline would be posts about the elctions or posts about politcis every where instagram and every single social media that we use is filled with these posts and they are just not necessary for us to look at everyday they flood our timelines and they just influence people to become the worst and very hostile in the comments why do we encourage this talall we do not need to be seeing this every single day +We are only given one life. I think that everyone wants to live a long and fruitful life. I know that sometimes we all have to do things that we do not want to do. There are certain procedures or policies that we need to follow to be able to maintain a certain life, and lifestyle. I know I don't really enjoy going to the doctor. +Mosul is Iraq's second most populous city.a major military campaign launched by the Iraqi Government forces with allied militias, The intensity of the fighting and the airstrikes in eastern parts of the city is high many people are killed their bodies hang in the middle cities not giving to the resident. The coalition strategy was reported to be to encircle Mosul completely, after which Iraqi troops would advance into the city-center. Pro-government fighters in the south of Mosul were battling pockets of ISIL fighters and snipers as they tried to reclaim the village of Abbasi. +E rate government funding program across country to connect the school from internet and It hits the hot buttons of education, technology, and good jobs at good wages in one shot and spreads federal monies to vendors and consultants in every corner of the country.Students achievement in 2013 bring up the fundding 2.3 billions budget to 4 billions. +there was this article about a subject I no nothing about and really could care less but here I am messaging you about it..................hope you find this very very very very very very very very entertaining............. I know I have, so what else have you been up to.............i hope you find this pleasant to read...... +This article was really inspiring. The woman in it goes through so much but she still tries to persevere. I think it is admirable to not give up in the face of such obstacles. But I imagine it was really difficult for her to do! Imagine being in pain like that... it's horrifying. What do you think of this article? Isn't it inspiring? +Check out this article about the zika virus. I did not know that there was so much going on with it, or that it spread so much. I also did not know that it can spread through the ways they described in the article, like sex. Definitely information we need to know Make sure to read up on this and be careful! +Trump and his administration are horrible people. I can't believe (okay maybe I can) that they would behave like that. There is nothing wrong with LGBT individuals. We need more representation in this country and politicians need to stop pushing their backwards beliefs onto others. LGBT deserve to live just as much as everyone else, and they deserve their freedom too. +It's really sad that it seems that so many people are ignorant when they purchase pets. People should be more dedicated to animals and the environment and if they don't feel prepared to take care of a pet then they should just, not get one. This is why goldfish are invading Australia. Invasive species are extremely problematic to the ecosystem and combating them is difficult and expensive. +Crazy things are happening in Afghanistan still...don't want to go there anytime soon. Too unstable and too many people getting kidnapped...and that would certainly suck. Not that I would really ever want to go to Afghanistan in general anyway. Why would you want to go somewhere so dangerous? I don't understand. +It's ridiculous that this day in age and for such an advanced country, we can't even get water right. It should be a priority that a basic necessity for life be safe. If we can't do water right, how can we do anything else right? It's a freaking joke. Our whole governmental system is a mess. And yet, no one does anything. +Wow, killing someone in public? That takes some serious nerve. I don't particularly know whether she is guilty or not, but for it to be played out in the media isn't fair. While they may not have the same protections that the accused have in the United States, they should still give her a new trial, something quiet, out of the public eye, maybe even outside of the country, where she can get a fair trial based on the facts. If there is video of her spiking the coffee, or any indication that she has had any contact with cyanide, then I say she should get a retrial. +This is an extremely sad story The civilians who lost their did nothing wrong. They did not ask for this war to come to their region. They were mere victims of the misfortune of being born where they were and being where they were when they were. They were no more guilty than you or I. It is extremely sad and disappoints me as an American. +I think this family had more then enough warning and notice not to go into that hot spring area. the young man fell and scalded himself to death while his sister/friend sat there and videotaped the whole thing. i dont understand some peoples logic. what made them think this was ok? what made them think they would be ok and what made them thing that parks put boundaries up jsut because they think its funny. +While I do sympathize with the plight of back people and latest police violence, I think that they are not helping the situation by engaging in violent protests that take even more lives and create a great deal of disturbance in USA! These protests ignite racial tensions but will not bring back the lives of innocent victims. What needs to be done here is clamping tight on the police force-punishing them appropriately and in the harshest of form if they take an innocent life or harass black people for no reason! They need to undergo training and psychological evaluation before being allowed to go out there and deal with criminals! They need to be psychologically stable and clear of racial bias, otherwise they are not suitable for this job! +A well known journalist in the UK, editor for Elle magazine and was suffering from depression for long time and she was found dead and pulled ashore. She killed herself after a long suffering of depression. She repeatedly looked for for professional help and because "missed opportunities" she decided to kill herself. It is hard to imagine someone would be refused this kind of help after so many referrals. The professional mental health services have admitted the error and said lessons had been learned and changes have been made since the tragic loss of the journalist. It's sad that there is such a price needed to pay for changes to be made. +These migrant camps are getting more and more reminiscent of internment camps by the day. For a country that prides itself on being so civilized, I can't imagine how French citizens can accept the treatment of the camp's children and others who remain behind in appalling conditions. Have a little compassion for your fellow human beings, please. +Hello there. I just read this story about a cop who killed a totally unarmed black man and I think it is disgusting. The police has been very biased against blacks lately and this is just another example of how bad things have gotten. I think this cop needs to be sentenced severely so that all other cops can also refrain from doing the same +Is Val Kilmer healthy or not? Seems as though comments keep being made about his health and now Michael Douglas has even said something about him. Although, just because the two worked together on The Ghost and the Darkness (one of the best movies ever!) doesn't give him the right to make public comments about Kilmer's health whether it's true or not. Maybe he doesn't want the whole world to know if he's going through something. +If we think we have it bad having to put up with Trump, think about how Mexico feels. This article puts a lot in perspective, but I really struggle with the quote by the Mexican foreign minister saying that Americans chose racism and hate. Don't group us all in one category. We didn't ALL choose this clown to be president. I understand their fears and stress, but that comment really just rubbed me the wrong way. Hopefully both countries can maintain their ties until he's out of office. +I just read about this Australian hiker that was lost in the Malaysian jungle for two weeks and most of that time without food. He was week but he survived. I'm shocked. I'm happy he made it because to often you hear those stories of a lost hiker and it ends tragically. His friends and family say he has a strong mental attitude, he must. I don't think I'd ever survive that long especially since I don't even know anything about safe plants to eat like this guy must have. Way to go sir. Way to fight. +An agency that I can't recall the full title of just released proof of the fact that the earth is getting warmer. Yeah, it was only a couple of degrees but that's how it starts, right? Something is causing the world, the United States in particular, to warm up. I know where I live that it's seems a lot warm than it was even 7 or 8 years ago. The seasons used to be predictable, but they don't seem to be that way anymore. +it is not new story that civilian were killed in American based operation in Afghanistan and these things happened in wars all the time . there is no way to fight a war without unnecessary human casualty but with proper planning and intelligent this factor can be reduce to a great extend i think but it harder than it look +the war on terror that began with the initial war of America on Afghanistan for the purpose of eliminating Talibaan and restoring order and democracy there but this war has continue for quite some time and has turned the country in ruined . i think its about time we leave that country for good and let them live there life +Friends and Family - we need to lobby for president Trump to take global warming more seriously. As predicted, the temperature may rise in the near future by one point five degrees Celsius. This will drastically change our weather and therefore cause disastrous effects to many, many places around the world. This can all be stopped though if we get on board now! +Hey, I'm sending you something you might find of interest. I heard about this really interesting study regarding the relationship between mothers and middle school aged children. I have to say the findings rang true to me and brought back a lot of memories. Middle school was a miserable time for me as I struggled with some classes and often felt either depressed or angry for no particular reason. I remember feeling constantly stressed over both academics and the challenges of middle school social life with maintaining friendships, cliques, dating etc. +Man is there some issue with the quality of air in India. I'm not sure if I would be willing to take a trip there. There seems to be a heavy smog lingering over the town that has caused a number of respiratory illnesses as well as shut down some schools. I have just read that air quality readings have been taken from some scientists. They found the quality of the air to be like smoking 40 packs of cigarettes a day. Yet, the local media is reporting something more like two dozen. I'm not sure who to believe but either way it seems like quite a dangerous situation to me. +have a friend I wrote a letter for, and gave it to her on her birthday. In the beginning I wrote about how our friendship began, and wrote about all of my favorite memories with her from as far back as I could remember. Our first interaction to when we first started texting and getting to know each other, all the way up to when I wrote the letter. She is really good at always telling me how she feels about me and how grateful she is to have me as a friend. I usually suck at reciprocating, so I took this as an opportunity to tell her what she meant to me. I made the end of the letter forward looking and wrote of how grateful I considered myself to be because she was in my life, and how I hoped that wouldn’t change for a long, long time. +Nicolas Maduro is the current leader of Venezuela and it has led to major issues and divide in the country. The country is pretty much tyrannical at this point and the government is over-reaching into everyone's lives. Reading about the protests and issues going on makes me feel grateful to be out of that country. I really hope the people can oust him and replace it with a better government. +This is sad that a company that is based here in the US and that actually manafucters its products in the US is in debt. More effort should have been placed to ensure company's success. More companies should be encouraged to manufacture their products in our country while also making them affordable and appealing. +This really doesn't seem that much different to me than capital punishment which is accepted in our country. Yes, it's cruel and seems to be brutal but at the same time it could be a good way of discouraging people to commit such crimes. On the other hand a victim's situation will not be improved or reversed because their perpetrator has been harmed in the same way. +I don't know what more it's gonna take for meat eaters to finally get it through their heads that we consume way too much meat. If someone says "plant based" anywhere near them they seem to automatically reject it. Agriculture is the main contributor to the destruction of the earth. It's not like people are preaching everyone go vegan, but drastically reducing your intake of meat would help the planet by a huge margin. For whatever reason, they just can't seem to rationalize that simple sentiment. +Oh my gosh! Can you even imagine this? Thinking of citizens being torn from their homes, tortured, frightened! How could they just blatantly violate people in this way? I suppose it is hopeful that we might learn from this, correct mistakes, but that doesn't mitigate the harm that was done! It also doesn't bode well that protecting the victims now, after the fact, also seems to be in question. The assumption that they were informed of the release of the data, I think, is reckless. Verification that the already suffering victims won't be further victimized is as important as the far reaching implications of the data itself! I wonder why there is no mention of the ramifications to the department either. Just releasing the data is great, but what about investigations and punishments? +Holy moly! It looks as if this trial is getting out of control. I know that sensational stories have a tendency to get tons of attention, but I can't help but think about the victims in these cases. I mean, here is a young woman, whole life ahead, who is inexplicably and disturbingly murdered. There seems to be only circumstantial evidence against the accused and the media is overblowing the story which can really detract from finding the truth! The victim here is being overshadowed by the gawker phenomenon. It's sad. I mean, even the premise sounds... fishy... but instead of talking about that, it looks like it's being sensationalized into some media circus. It's terrible. How can they ever get to the truth if the story is corrupted and broadcast to the whole country? +The fact that so many people still die of smoking deaths is unbelievable. With so much knowledge these days we should be able to educate people about the danger associated with smoking and change this pattern! And the fact that the WHO recommends taxation at 75 percent of retail cost and NO states do this is crazy! +There are all these people protesting on both sides of this issue but where were many of these people at the voting booths?? If everyone who is so against Trump came out and voted maybe we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place!! And all the people who voted for third party candidates know that you contributed to this as well because you threw away your vote! +I just learned about the British banker who killed the two Indonesian women in Hong Kong. How horrifying that we have people like this in the world. They seem like your everyday ordinary person, but it shows you just never know. You always have to stay safe, not take chances and don't trust appearances. +Male models are paid a lot less than female models, which is interesting considering all of the news lately about a "wage gap" that some people believe exists. Each industry has a different set of pay and things and that's fine, you have to look at the individual characteristics when judging whether something is wrong. It's very interesting that this is starting to change though, as male products become a bigger market for companies. +So apparently Russia sent a bunch of bombs on a school in Syria. It killed like 22 kids. Now the Russian government is trying to say it never happened. They even showed satellite images of another place and claimed it was there. Some organization called HRW (Human Rights Watch) had evidence to show otherwise. They even had images of the same type of aircraft that the Russians use. +So one of Mariah Carey backup dancers got fired and banned from the Ceasers Palace. Her ex Packer got super jealous of the flirting between them and went all crazy on him. But I do not know why he cares since they broke up last month after something went on between him and her assistant. They say he did something bad to her but I bet he was trying to flirt with her as well. +Did you hear that some kids in another country are passing out in school because they do not have enough to eat? The school can not do much or wont due to lack of funding. Over 35% of kids do not even go to school because of lack of food causing some effect. That is so sad. I am glad that our government has different programs instilled to prevent that. +Did you hear that the very first female US atorney general died recenty at 78. She was put in under Clinton though so she was probably very corrupt and did a lot of bad things over the course of her career. But she went to Harvard so she must have been pretty smart regardless. She was also the one who got a little boy sent back to Cuba which is just horrible since they are living in horrible conditions with a horrible government that abuses them. +Hearing this news makes me so sick. The worst thing a person can do is to hurt a defenseless animal for no reason. It's so sickening that someone felt the need to senselessly murder one of these amazing horses. It makes me so sad that this happened, and I really hope the culprit gets brought to justice. +Police officers are getting out of control nowadays. I can't believe that there hasn't been more action taken against this officer who blatantly punched a woman in the face without provocation, especially since the entire incident was caught on tape. It makes no sense to me that this officer hasn't been charged with assault in this case. +I wasn't sure how the story would end - I know that emus can get aggressive! So glad to know that the emu was docile and behaving well. It seems like the local officials were doing their best not to excite it, that's gratifying to know. Its actually something of a funny story on the whole. I hope that this story provides a good model for others to follow in the event of another emu intervention. +another case of government not working like it should. one should have effective recourse without having to hire an attorney and spend thousands of dollars to straighten things out. it makes me angry because i know how easily it could happen to me. why people can't do their jobs and/or show some empathy in this situation is beyond my comprehension. i sure hope this does not happen to me or you. +there are too many police shootings. however, being in the police is not an easy job. too many people are in a rush to judgement. if cities would be more forthwright and transparent it would help. why people feel that violence and looting is a valid method of protest is beyond me. i have great sympathy for the police. +it is amazing how little it takes for some people to harm or kill another person. it seems like there is a breakdown or morals in our society. we have become more anonimus and disconected from others where we live, in large cities. with no connections to others some people in our society act out their aggression on others. +It aggravates me that in our modern society leaders are condemned before they even have an opportunity to lead. It will happen forevermore into the future no matter who wins elections from here on out. The issue is not opposition so much as it is the ability to organize against someone anymore. Using the internet, it is quite easy to gather a group of thousands and perhaps even hundreds of thousands to combat against something vile or unwarranted. The problem is Trump wasn't even given a chance. Now that things have played out, perhaps some of those people were right about their hatred or grievances but its entirely unfair to subject any president of our country to this before they have even been given the chance to lead. +I just read an article Regarding a severe problem in the Chicago area with the fact that their public water supply has high amounts of lead traces. Just what I need, another worldly problem to stress about?! Article shook me, as the health of not only myself but my children is of the upmost importance to me. I know, I don’t live in the Chicago area, but the article certainly made me think about the water that I drink every day, and my children drink and then just threw foods that I have cooked and prepared. Even my local town has just posted something on the fact that they need $3.2 million to repair the water mains in the one square-mile town as the water pipes are corroded and near health hazard. I Will be researching this locally. I will also be researching for more info on the subject +I just read a story about a study being done by a new University of Washington that was funded and the satellite data from NASA, that was about the Arctic Polar Bears. It said that the climate change has been affecting the feeding and breeding of these 19 polar bears population. It has been having a negative impact on them. I did not know that a polar bear depends on the sea ice to eat. They can not outrun their prey so the sit at the air holes of the seals and when they go up to get air the bear will capture it to eat. The days that this ice is available to the bears have shortened over the thirty-five-year study to almost seven weeks. The study shows that this is a continuing pattern. I am really worried about the outcome for these bears. It is sad to think they may become extinct. +I just read a story about a black man named Terence Crutcher who was shot and killed by a white police officer named Betty Shelby in Tulsa Oklahoma. She was responding to another call when she noticed Terence Crutcher. The camera on her dashboard showed that Terence had his hands up. It was also video tapped by a helicopter. The officer claimed she felt like her life was in danger. Terence was a good man with a good heart. He was a churchgoer and a father of four children. Hundreds of people mourned his passing. If convicted Betty Shelby age 42 could face 4 years in prison for first degree manslaughter. +I kind of felt a little angry reading this article. I felt as thought this may have been something that was preventable with better infrastructure in place or procedures to check water supplies for such bacteria. Many people lost their lives or ended up, maybe it was passed through their family. It would be horrible to lose someone that you care about like this. +We should protect our environment from now on. I think a lot of wild animals have been put into danger because of human beings. People have put too much plastics into the oceans and pollute the living society of wild animals. It was danger to them if there is plastic around. I wish people will do a better jobs. +An article talking about increasing the deportations of Haitians is one that I feel for those involved. Haiti has been brutalized by mother nature, and the Clintons, and people are trying to get somehwere to survive while the country recovers. The U.S. let's them in to ship them back out and that is a bit ridiculous. It's not a situation where those from Mexico just sneak over and hide from society. These people need help but it doesn't shock me that the U.S. wiould do this in a time of need. Sympathy felt but helpless to do anything about it. +I just read this article about the doom of bananas that made me feel like an idiot. I like to think i am smart enough to process this type of article but the words used just had me lost. I wouldn't bother reading it if you still planned on it. It was informative but i felt like i was reading a manual. +So i just read this horrific article about women in nigeria being raped by the officials that rescued them from Boko Haram. If you don't know about Boko Haram you should really look them up. These poor women have no one to trust. I am shocked by what i read and feel so sorry for these people. i wish there was something we could do that would have real impact on their lives. you must read this article. +A hiker was lost in a Malaysian jungle for ten days. The hiker only brought enough food for one day. He survived on bananas and berries he found in the jungle. When he was found he was covered in leaches, weak, and very disoriented. Its a miracle he survived on his own for ten days in the jungle. There was no cell coverage in the part of the jungle he was in so he could not communicate to anyone or ask for help. +A man has took it on himself to kill evasive mice that have doubled in size on an island. The mice feed on birds and when the birds have babies its like a buffet for them to thrive on. I imagine it must be disgusting to have so many mice doing what they please and destroying other animals. It gives me the creeps thinking about it. +Hello! This is why you follow the rules at our National Parks! This is a terrible tragedy that could have easily been avoided. I was young once, and I did plenty of reckless things. I understand, maybe the boy was just trying to check the temperature. Maybe he didn't believe the signs, or he thought it would be cool to do what no one else has done. His poor sister! To see that happen! To see her own brother boil to death. I can't imagine how gruesome that must have been. I just can't believe they couldn't get his body until the next day...and the next day it was gone! This is a huge lesson for anyone that is young and reckless! +Hello again! Writing to share some things I have been learning about. I read that Syrians and Iraqis are granted asylum in Germany far more often than Pakistanis, and Nigerians. Germany is confronting the task of deciding who gets to stay. If you’re from Syria or Iraq, sanctuary is almost guaranteed. But if you’re from Nigeria or Pakistan, chances are you journeyed all the way there for nothing. This is so distressing! +I rememeber where I was when the Paris attack happened. It was so terrible how I felt and how everyone around the world felt. These terrible people are trying to make us scared to do things we love. But I wont let them win. Im so happy the band decided to go back and give a concert. This has to be a statment for us all. Fear will never win! +I am so moved and jealous really of the people of south Korea. For them to protest there President, who is totally wrong for all she did, is somthing to be admired. I love the spirit of the people to not stop untill she leaves office. If only it was that easy for us AMericans to do the same with Trump. +Its so obvious how much lady periods and pills we have to take are linked to our depresstion and body pains. The chemistry going on in our body is somthing I cant even get ahold of. The pill though is such a thing we need if we dont want to have babies that this time. The after math of it is just a deeper conversation we have to understand so that we dont end of hurting ourself. +If you are wearing contacts for your vision to improve then you should be sure to take them out when sleeping. You can get some bacteria in your eye that will accumulate and might cause problems if you do not do this. I forgot what the thing was called but it might even cause the contact user to become blinded. +The Islamic state is now desperately using human shields to try and deter our attacks against them. This is a strategy that is doomed to failure for multiple reasons, the biggest being the civilians they are using aren't going to tolerate that shit forever, and will probably start resisting and escaping. The next biggest, America doesn't really show restraint when they want to bomb a target and civilians are present. I mean, we generally go out of our way to not blow up the nearby children's hospital, but the second we suspect Bin Laden's cousin is in there 7000 drones start swarming. +And in other news ushering in the apocalypse, Paraguay just mismanaged their water resources so poorly that one of their rivers almost completely has dried up, in addition to a drought. I feel like these types of things are going to become extremely common in our near future thanks to our current President's very uninterested feelings about global warming. We will likely never recover since we have long since not done enough to combat it, and millions worldwide are going to suffer and die as stuff like this becomes a seasonal thing. +From this article I learned about repression of gay rights in Uganda. Gay rights protesters were rounded up by police and taken away from the resort where they were protesting and of those that attempted to resume protesting at another spot, police escorted them away. Gay rights have been struggling in Uganda, where homosexuality is illegal and repressed. +I was reading an article about poachers killing off many elephants because of the ivory trade. One part that stuck in my mind is that in one country, the elephants are protected more than they are in the neighboring country. It is odd that an elephant can literally walk away from its protection by wandering into the neighboring country. I was not aware of any of this. The article somewhat jokingly said that elephants do not have passports. +Hey man did you hear about this Palm Oil Company is trying to threaten to take down the worlds third largest Orangutan populations? This is pretty upsetting for me as I am in love with these animals. They are wanting to cut down most of the forest. This place is in Indonesia and this company is also planning on building a drainage canal from the north to the south side of the area for which some work has already reportedly began. I really wished there was a way we can help and protect this land. You would have thought that this would be an important area that needed protected. I mean there are what about any where from 750 to 1750 orangutan..They're classified as endangered now. +Those native people really dont deserve that kind of treatment its unfair. how can you have people just not speak their own native language? i dont get why they cant just let them live in both worlds and experience both cultures instead of forcing them to be a part of their specific culture. They really need to be spoken up against for this kind of injustice +I pretty much hate all wildlife including squirrels. They should just go blast the little varmint. After all squirrels carry rabies and other diseases even if they say small animals seldom have rabies. Once you bite a human, it's over and you deserve to die. It is kind of funny though these elderly people not being able to get away. Why does everything wacky always happen in Florida. Like 30% of anything strange happens in Florida. Frankly I think some reporter made the whole thing up. Squirrels are not going to attack multiple people. Sure they might on a rare occasion bite someone but not three people. Then again it's Florida so common laws and logic go out the window. ANyhow thought you might enjoy some rambling on some things I read. Take care buddy. Later. +I just read an article where there was a horrible natural disaster. They were saying how the town is a virtual ghost town and workers weren't allowed to go back until they check the building further. Could you imagine what it would be like to be one of those people, I mean to lose everything you have? Things you've worked so hard to aquire just gone? And God forbid a loved one? I don't even know how you would begin to process all of this. +I've seen the Slager video, he needs to be in prison. As far as Tensig goes, that's a tough call. Moral of the story is, don't give a man with a gun any reason to be afraid of you.The traffic stop went the direction it did because of DuBose's actions.I have a hard time feeling sympathy for someone who makes horrible decisions that result in predictable outcomes. +I just read an article about cave divers in Florida who died trying to explore the cave system. It seems like an incredibly dangerous thing to do. I'm not so sure I see the benefit in doing this kind of activity. I feel like they people knew the risks and what could happen if things go wrong. This is not something I'd do myself. +I read an article about the Loud Music Shooter, not sure if you've heard about this case in Florida. It seems like they've upheld the murder conviction for the man who shot a black teen during an argument about loud music being played. It did seem more like murder and not so much like an actual self-defense situation. +I just read a really sad story about a kid who got lost while hiking in Vietnam. You should read it. It's frustrating because he made a number of very basic errors that even the young kids in my scouting group know to avoid. He was alone. He lacked proper gear to survive changes in weather. He did not know his route. When he got lost, he kept moving instead of staying put. He also failed to let rescuers come to him. He could very easily have been stayed if he had made all of these error s and just stayed put. I hope his friend doesn't feel too much guilt over this. It's not her fault but judging from the article, she blames herself. I can't imagine what his parents are going through. My mom is always worried when I go backpacking and she'd go crazy if anything like this happened to me. +Here's another article from the 2016 campaign that didn't age well. Read it and have a laugh. It's pretty ridiculous in retrospect. More of the women they're talking about voted for Trump than Hillary. I guess they never asked women if those allegations bothered them or were important. I know that you told me after the Access Hollywood tapes that you didn't care about that stuff, that policy issues were more important. +This story is just sad and I just feel like there should be something that we can do to prevent killings of wild animals just because they own the earth as well as we do. Just because humans are expanding and advancing in technology it does not mean that we kill and we hunt everything that we see. It is heartbreaking. +what horror this news. in poor little boy of just 2 years of age he fell through the window of his apartment on the 11th floor of a building. The mother relates that I go to sleep with her older brother and this one hour later I climb to the window that apparently was open and rushed into the void crashing with the asphalt of the parking lot. A neighbor found the scene and desperate for horror called 911. +This article is extremely sad for the State of Louisiana. Not only has the state been ravaged by floods leading to the damage of both homes and businesses, but now the economy is being further devastated by the exodus of individuals and population erosion from pre-Katrina years. The state needs an injection of capital to help individuals and small businesses get their feet back underneath them, and providing the foundation of the local economies to not only sustain themselves and thrive. +Man that's tough to read- I remember watching those events unfold and just being absolutely miserable and horrified over it. I remember hearing that they were killing hostages one by one on the news, and just bursting into tears at that point. This article really vividly reminded me of that moment, it's really sad. +It is sad that people have nothing better to do than to get into other people's business. It seems that we are at an all time low as a society and that there is no respect for other people's privacy. This is what I see as the darker side of the internet. It opens the the door for behavior that should not be encouraged in for a safe and productive society. +There are several strange factors surrounding the tragic and fatal event. First, why was there not a sign or caution tape to block off the broken elevator? How was the mother able to walk into it without knowing that it was broken? The other tenant's reports about the condition of the elevators in the past are also alarming. Why was this problem not addressed long ago by the landlord? It should not take such a horrible event to occur for people to recognize that there is a problem with the building and the way technicians are doing inspections. +The thought of such conditions in the slaughtering of chickens is very disturbing. I am by no means a vegetarian, and enjoy eating chicken a great deal. However, the thought of torturing a chicken for slaughter turns my stomach. There needs to be an ethical solution to the slaughtering of all animals, not just chicken. And I believe a universal approach that is easily controlled and monitored would be ideal, but most likely not cost efficient. +Hey, Check out this article about PTSD. I feel bad for these veterans that had to experience this as a result from the Vietnam War. I know someone that has fought in the Vietnam War and he has seen other soldiers being diagnosed as a result of the war. It's sad to see these soldiers go through so much trauma and disgust after the war. With the increasing rate of the mental health issue, it makes me worry even more. +So a man murdered someone over a card being declined. At a Starbucks of course, this is just getting to be ridiculous. Someone gets pissy because they have no money and decide to hurt someone else that has nothing to do with it. The more news articles I read like this, the less faith I have in humanity. +This right here is bullshit. I don't know who wrote this shit article but from what I read it argues that livestock are more a contributor to gas emissions in our atmosphere then vehicle emissions. It spouts some numbers and facts but I can see straight away this is a fabricated article that is completely biased. This is the crap we need to take out of our news. +Looks like American Apparel is at it again and declaring bankruptcy. Ironically they are getting bought out by a Canadian company. I feel sorry for the employees, but its hard to feel sorry for the company since they just dont seem to get it. I think one chance is fair, but when you have to declare bankruptcy again a year later your management doesnt seem to know what they are doing. Maybe the company that bought them will finally get it right. +What a tragedy this is! I feel so bad for all the owners who lost their pets in that situation. Pets are like members of your family, and losing a pet is no different. My heart goes out to all of the people who are effected by this. There is nothing this business can do to bring back the animals that died and ease the owners suffering. Hopefully they never let something like this happen again. +Well, I dont really feel much about this either way. I feel badly for the family of the victim, I'm sure they are devastated, but it's not surprising something like this would happen, given the type of things he wrote, and the climate in the country in which they lived. My thoughts of out to the family. +Although this is bad, I have to admit that it's also rather funny. I do wonder what caused the squirrel to go on such a rampage. Perhaps it felt threatened? Maybe it was abused? Perhaps it got caught inside and out of fear did what animals do - bite and claw their way out. I'm assuming it was the latter reason and this just happened to be an odd situation. I don't think it meant to hurt anyone, I think it was just scared and people got bit because they got in its way. I can't imagine another reason than that. And the people were fine anyway. +This article highlights the fact that we might be going on about our lives, secure in the knowledge that everything is fine, but then suddenly when you least expect it, we are reminded of our own mortality. It makes me want to live each and every day as well as I can, because I never know if it might be my last. Sometimes we think we have forever, but this article is a reminder that each day we live on this Earth, imperfect though it may be, is a gift. +This is an absolute disgrace that it still happens and can happen in America. How are things like this still happening. I get that there has always been murder, and if someone is determined enough they are going to find a way to do this, but for it to happen in one of the most locked down and secured places is ridiculous. I feel bad for the family involved and hopefully their loss will help spark a positive change. +I just read this article about a forest land in Indonesia that could potentially be cut down and turned in to a tree plant. Normally an article like this might not attract my attention and cause me to read any further, but this particular forest land is home to the 3rd largest population of endangered orangutans and if the forest is cut down, it is estimated that 1750 orangutans will die or have to be rescued and re-homed. This is so heartbreaking to me because these are innocent animals, endangered ones at that, that are just living in their natural environment and have done nothing wrong. How can the government in Indonesia think that this idea is even a possibility, never mind the fact it could not possibly be a positive thing because of the negative impact it has on this species!! +Wow! I just read this article about a young boy in China who fell in to a well and was found dead 4 days later. It was SO sad to read this! It stated that boy was helping his dad harvest food when he fell in this well that was only 1 foot wide and that no adults could fit in it to go down and rescue him! Can you even imagine what that father must have been feeling knowing that his little boy fell in this well while helping him and he could not get down there to help him! I just imagine how heartbreaking this whole situation must have been for the family and for the rescuers who spent days trying everything they could to get to him and potentially help him. As a mom, it just makes me sick to think that I could be in a situation like that and do nothing to help one of my babies! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/label_list.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/label_list.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..924c01e197fe8fd35fbb1bed9cc1b3c3449a097f --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/label_list.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +not empathy +empathy \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/test_labels.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/test_labels.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b6b74ee1802c33097cc99c1a136910d0598d491d --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/test_labels.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/test_text.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/test_text.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b4bd038c0c426d7153ff1edbfb26d8add7bc20cc --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/test_text.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +I thought the article was quite sad to read and disheartening to hear about the Iraqi people.

I hope that it gets better in the future. +I think almost everyone has an opinion on Hilary Clinton over Donald Trump. Many didn't expect Donald to win the election but here we are. So many political scandals unfolded and more continuing to unravel. Many didn't agree with Hilary from the Bengazi investigation and many didn't agree with Trump, but in the end that's just politics. +I've heard of necrotizing fasciitis before. It's really fucking scary to think that just from a tiny little cut you could get a disease that has a high likelihood of killing you. There's also a similar bacteria called naegleria fowlerii that can get into your body from water going up your nostrils and it basically eats your brain. Nature is fucking metal. +It's a shame that we have so many random acts of violence in this country. It seems every other week we have some massacre involving either guns, a right wing extremist or a muslim extremist. I think what they have in common are either mentally ill people or people who are extremist in their world views and religion. +I feel for her.

Life is crazy. I can't imagine what the families are going through. Having to go to or being forced into sex work is bad enough, but for it to end like this is just sad.

It is no wonder that religious minorities in Syria supported Assad. At least he protects them. He probably has committed atrocities, but it seems every side has committed atrocities there. This murder was in Jordan, and even though the Jordanian royals come off as urbane Westerners, there is obviously an undercurrent of extreme Islamism in some of the population. Christians are murdered all the time around the world, but this rarely gets attention in the US media, which is completely corrupt. +The whole "police violence against blacks" theme has been overplayed to manipulate people. The fact is that there really is a problem of police feeling justified in shooting people whenever they feel threatened, but this doesn't just happen to blacks. I can think of four cases off the top of my head where innocent unarmed white men were killed by police. One of them was the recent case where the guy who died was the victim of "swatting". He wasn't involved in an crime at all, but the police burst into his house with guns blazing and he died. And the cop won't be prosecuted. I hope that blacks who care about this issue will realize they are being manipulated and will join forces with others who don't want to live in a police state. +Funny how it always comes down the to the gun and not the person wielding it. People will always be able to get guns, legally or not. the issue is more with society treatment of young men. Too many single moms, too many kids being ostracized and bullied. But yeah, that's the gun's fault. i don't own a gun, but I'd be damned if I gave one up to those liberal fascists. +Are you aware that only certain refuges are helped and accepted?

This cannot be good for the ecosystem. Or is it? In contrast to the article, i remember seeing a whale die because the ice was so thick and they were trapped. Perhaps neither are good, but how do we fix this? +This is so sad. Today I read about a lady who passed away November 6th and had shared many of her stories of her experiences in the holocaust. IT's very sad to think there aren't many people left to share these stories. I remember being in Junior high and hearing someone speak about it, and to think kids these days will never get that.

You'd think all the different factions would finally agree to disagree and move on but instead they just seem to want to keep killing. I understand why since so many different groups want to destroy the other side leaving smaller nations like Yemen to have to defend themselves since the other factions seem to be unable to leave in peace. +Overall the problem here seems to be that overuse of resources in a certain area needs to be stopped. Simply pumping more water isn't the issue and perhaps the fact that too many people are trying to use that water source should be something that's looked into. There should also be some sort of testing and filtering system put into place to protect the people. +This article greatly disturbs me. The fact that we treat Muslims and people of their culture like dogs and terrorist is disgusting and wrong both morally and ethically. The way they are being shown on tv and media is wrong and horrible. Our president thinks that if we ban muslims from the country, all of a sudden our nation is safe. When the fact of the matter is, most shootings that happen in this country, are from Caucasians. Muslims are shown in bad light due to some extremist and they do not deserve this treatment. +Can you imagine being forced to live in such a violent place??

My heart breaks for this people, as they don't have anyone to turn to for help. They feel powerless, hungry and scared. +As we all know, there has been much media on police brutality. There are many police officers that believe they are above the law, and the common citizens doesn't have any rights when they are interacting with them. Unfortunately, it's very sad to say, that even if a citizen is innocent, if they don't cooperate to the fullest, the police can physically harm them, even possibly lead to being shot and killed. This is very scary! So, while I don't believe all officers are like this, one is too many! +Wow. So... I sure as fuck do not have that much to say about that stupid article / news story. But, I guess that I'll try to think of something. It's also not at all something that I would share or want to share with anyone that I know. It's not relevant to me or the people that I know and care about. It's not something that I would just choose to read either. Ok. Have you seen this article about the dad that killed his daughter's molester? Apparently she was molested when she was young, the guy went to jail for a year and a half and was let out. Many years later, the dad went and shot the guy. That's pretty much it. I don't know why I'm sending this to you, but what do you think? I think that it was boring and I wasn't interested in it at all. +Again, I wouldn't share this with anyone; it's not that interesting to me or to the people that I know.

So many people believe that these things are healthier or will make them feel better than traditional medication, but clearly they just make things worse.

Too many people think that just because someone is different they are less worthy of life than themselves. It is honestly just terrible. It feels like we are seeing more and more of this everyday. Humans really need to come together and realize that we are all the same, and there is not reason to cause each other harm and pain such as this. +This is so unfortunate for the family of this father and son. They were probably just trying to have a nice together, but did not research the area well enough or did not pay proper attention.

It's not shock that after years of the right bullying the left into tolerating intolerance that we've come to this point. People aren't even trying to hide their racism anymore, and they're intentionally making shit worse to justify their oppressive agendas. +How can people take something like relationships for granted? It's infuriating that in a world where I have to fight for the right to marry the person I love and adore and want to pamper and cherish and share a life with that there are assholes out there like this with anger issues who will get in their alleged partner's face and shout. The hate is just mind blowing. +I think timeshares are silly and this article just confirms it. In the article it talks about how hard it is for some people to get rid of timeshares after they have them. Timeshare salesmen are so pushy when you first sign up for one I can't imagine how hard it is to get out of one. I'm just glad that I don't have a timeshare and never will. I'm sure they have some many tiny provisions in their contracts that make them really difficult to get out of successfully. +This is disgusting! I wish that the international community would step up and stop these atrocities from continuing to happen. But no one in the international community seems to care. Its so sad, it is like another Rwanda is happening right in front of us but no one wants to spend the money to do anything about it because it is seen as just another third world backwater. Things need to change before the international order is completely forgotten about. +This is horribly to read about. The sheer number of people dying every day, just trying to escape on boats, is quite alarming. Think about people from one country equaling those people dying in gang violence in major, crime ridden societies - but JUST for people attempting to escape via water. What should we do about this? Open our borders? Is it enough to simply help them get out of where they are to some place safer? Obviously this isnt exacly their fault, especially the kids. But what can we do? Will money help? Probably not. Open borders will. Bring them here and help them find a more peaceful way through thehri own lives. +India Kashmir: The teenager blinded by pellets — Photographer Abid Bhat here describes the life of 14-year-old Insha Mushtaq, who lost vision in both her eyes after being hit by pellets in Indian-administered Kashmir. "I just want to ask the security personnel who fired pellets at me what my fault was," Miss Mushtaq says, as she stands by the same window she was sitting at when pellets blinded her. She has been in and out of hospitals for the past three months in an attempt to regain her vision. Nothing has worked so far, but she remains hopeful. Ms Mushtaq says she wanted to become a doctor before losing her vision. She brings out her text books to show me, and flips the pages though she cannot read them anymore.

Gilbert and Wilson conducted a study to show how pleased a person would feel if they purchased flowers for themselves for no specific reason (birthday, anniversary, or promotion etc.) and how long they thought that feeling would last.

Well, this new research that we’ll discuss might convince you to review your priorities and put sleep above many, because you still can. +Clearly, this was an opinion piece. It is upsetting that so many try to pass off an opinion piece as a news article these days. That is exactly what fake news is. The writer wasn't even trying to hide it.

Sure, some of the info in there may be accurate, but the bias overwhelms all. +The article says that- Trump to supporters harassing minorities: 'Stop it' — Donald Trump on Sunday told his supporters to stop harassing minorities, in his first televised sit-down interview since becoming President-elect. "I am so saddened to hear that," Trump told CBS' Lesley Stahl on "60 Minutes" when she said Latinos and Muslims are facing harassment. "And I say, 'Stop it.' If it -- if it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: 'Stop it.'" Trump directed his comments to his own supporters whom said have written racist slogans or chanted degrading messages -- particularly in schools. It was a powerful appeal to a nation ripped apart by the divisive 2016 campaign. Trump's election has left Democrats angry and many minorities fearful about the future. +Hello friend, how have you been lately?, I have some curiosity about an article that I read recently, that helped me a lot, that I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this , for example: that a study published online through the journal Current Biology revealed that in the period of 25 years, half the size of the Amazon, and twice the size of the state of Alaska, has been exhausted. +Hello, how have you been lately?

Birth Without Fear also published his photo on Facebook, where he reached more than 6,000 likes., I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this one. +Hello, I have to tell you something friend, I have some curiosity about an article that I read recently, said that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. The next day, a man discovered that someone had painted swastikas in an abandoned store in South Philadelphia, I was hoping that this type of information could be in the article +I have read the article and think that it's a story I have read many times. ISIS claims that the person is part of their army, but there is no evidence that the person was supported by them. It also shows that it's almost impossible to tell whether someone will become a terrorist based on their personality or what religion they are. +It's hard to believe that they would go through with this, but they probably want economic growth and that will need extra airport runways.

It blows my mind the level of shit people will do in order to make a buck. It seems like people treat celebrities as if they are not people at all. People that leave negative comments on celebrity pages are taking it to a new level. People say the shittiest things to each other when they're hiding behind their computer screen. This particular guy took it to the extreme by stealing their private photos. +I just read the most terrible article about war and terrorism, I couldn't even imagine the fear these people are living. They are being forced from their homes by threats of death. The conditions in this area are terrible. They're low on most supplies including food.

There are so many others senseless killings in that area already, I would fear for the life of my family and myself! +I just read an article about women encouraging other women to get IUD's before Trump took office. They were worried that trump in office will restrict women's access to affordable birth control. They think because the IUD can last for so long that women should get them in soon. I don't think these women need to be out getting IUD's, there are other ways to prevent pregnancy. If they are really concerned, condoms work well. +They should really figure out if these earthquakes are due to fracking wastewater, and if so stop the practice. Politicians aren’t concerned about the plight of the ordinary people though. Fracking companies have lobbyists and money, while the victims of the earthquakes have neither. Ultimately nothing will get addressed unless something catastrophic happens. +Just because someone happens to be a celebrity doesn't mean that their suffering is any less valid than the average person's. We should learn to recognize that as a society, we must come to understand the universal nature of suffering as applicable to all people. One's status in life should not leave them any more open to suffering than others. +He said it would not stop him returning to the field to help save wildlife. Van Niekerk said they were called last weekend to assist a ranger who had caught a poacher near Sabi river. “My colleagues and I, with four Mozambican police officers, were transporting the poacher to the station, which was about 30km away, when he escaped from the vehicle. I chased after the poacher and caught him. I handed him back to the police officer. Suddenly, a mob from the community started moving towards us,” said Van Niekerk. The police officers who were with them ran away. “We, the rangers, were the targets. +Look at this article. Notice anything missing? Yeah, any sources or any kind of backing for these claims OR any sources for the supposed "real estate developers" giving false data. So, watch how well my feelings beat up this straw man I've set up! You'd think they'd have noticed how long Chicken Little has been going on about this and yet still no fallen sky. +What an unfortunate situation--and a total shame that regulations on these conditions aren't more thorough. Of course the reputation of the kennel should be considered suspect now. The article says that the business will remain open, but I think it would be best to close up shop. After a news piece like this, I don't think many owners will be bringing their pets to stay. +It's fascinating to think that these celebrities were fooled so easily by a regular guy. Of course the man's actions are reprehensible, and his jail sentence seems reasonable, but you'd think that celebrities would be more conscious of phishing attacks. Especially since these people gave over their passwords willingly, it's hard to understand the legal precedent for sending someone to jail over this. +I had no idea there is a stunning process when killing chickens, but it makes sense. Unfortunately it seems to not work very well. For all these pieces of convoluted technology being used, no one has been clever enough to think of the solution that we could eat less meat. Certainly it's no secret that animal agriculture is terrible for the planet. Hopefully this will be the next piece in a long line of information pushing us towards vegetarianism. +It's not pleasant to think of these animals being mistreated, but for all the problems in the world something like this seems rather minor. Of course it would be great to ensure good keeping of animals, but there are more pressing tragedies happening much more often to human beings that we should focus on before addressing these issues of occasional animal mis-handling. +Perception of the physical world does not necessarily result in a universal reaction among receivers (see emotions), but varies depending upon one's tendency to handle the situation, how the situation relates to the receiver's past experiences, and any number of other factors. Feelings are also known as a state of consciousness, such as that resulting from emotions, sentiments or desires. People buy products in hopes that the product will make them feel a certain way: either happy, excited or beautiful. Or, they find the product useful in some way, even indirectly such as to support a charity or for altruistic economic reasons. Some people buy beauty products in hopes of achieving a state of happiness or a sense of self beauty or as an act or expression of beauty +Hello friend, It's sad that thousands of hectares of tropical forests in Latin America have been changed from their natural habitat to grow bananas. The rise of different types of diseases that focus on banana tress is alarming. I hope we can find a cure for these diseases before it's too late. I did not realize bananas were a genetic accident. Lucky for us! +Hello friend, This article cracks me up. As someone who hates Trump, I think it's hilarious. Realistically, the mother should've just talked to her son about the reasons she dislikes Trump. Trying to convince him that Trump is a immoral person would've been a better use of her time. What makes me mad though, is that people called CPS on her. People always trying to get involved in everybody's business. +Check out this article. Remember I was telling you the other day about that man from the bank who approached me in the market? He was asking about my savings plan and long and short term goals. He also asked about my mortgage. I bet he has the same pressures as the bank workers in Pennsylvania. So shady! I would never want to work under that kind of pressure. +I like Lena Heady, and, even though she plays one of the worst mother's on television, I can imagine that she must be a ball of nerves over this custody dispute. I can;t imagine having to go through this, especially since the custody seemed to be agreed upon. Her ex husband doesn't seem to be thinking about Wylie's best interest - only his own. If it were me, I'd fight tooth and nail to kepp my son in the same country as me. +YOu hear about the environmental cost of using coal, but it is very upsetting to read about specific people and how their lives have changed, for the worse, because of coal mining. Further upsetting is to hear about the animals effected. Elephants invading villages, being electrocuted, hurting humans, all because their land is being taken for coal. Sad! People are dying from lack of fresh air and water, and it is wrong. +It must be extremely difficult to find these lone wolf terrorist. I can only begin to understand the type of manpower needed to pursue these people. I think that most of them are mentally ill and hard to catch before they commit the crime. It makes me think of the movie Minority Report and how that type of technology might become available with the advance of A.I.. +There are immigrants in this country that are having a hard time assimilation in to the American Culture. The article blames Trump I believe there are most things at work here than just him. It seems the system is working as intended and it was in place before Trump. People need to be able to assimilate as it keeps our country at peace. What do you think we should do about it? +You are not going to believe this article I just read about something akin to torture, called conversion therapy. It's something, designed by quacks, that is supposed to convert gay or queer people to heterosexual. Are you kidding me? People are who they are in life and are not to be changed, but embraced and supported. The regimen these poor people had to go through in this so called therapy was barbaric, and would not be used in North Korea as a torture. It's unbelievable what people do in the name of helping. +Hi. Just read an article about how Russia is moving some of their military ships near to Britain. What's the deal there? I can really figure out what the Russian government is up to. The article says they are stating the want to keep major waterways safe, but I didn't know there was a problem. Maybe they're creating one. +Those poor families in the Middle East. Near the city of Yemen. I guess so much fighting over there has led to really unhealthy living conditions. They are having new suspected cases of cholera all the time, and most of those ill are young kids. I can't even imagine such bad living conditions. These kids deserve a better life. Not fear and illness. +Seems like a pretty ordinary occurrence. I'm sure their families are upset but I'm less sure this kind of story deserves space in a newspaper. A couple people got sick and they died. Anyway, it's a mildly sad story but it's not noteworthy or newsworthy. I don't understand why stories like this run in the paper. +The article was about smokers and the prevalence of cancer among cigarette smokers. It indicated that the tobacco lobby results in weak tobacco control and a low effort among politicians to try and stop people from smoking. Quite frankly, I'm not sure why I should care about smokers. The evidence is there for them to see, yet they persist in their bad habits. Government can only do so much and it makes little sense for me to worry about another person's health when they are consciously making the decision to kill themselves. +Yuck. Although I don't think you can say it was particularly disturbing for women because a lot of women voted for the misogynistic ass. The real problem was reasonable people didn't bother to vote. I did. And after the election news I was so depressed, I stayed home and drank wine that day. I didn't have to work. +Its sad and all but when is there every not trouble in the middle east? You know my grandmother was Syrian so this maybe should be more personal for me, but its kind of not. Those people are crazy. Fell sorry for the civilians though and the united states should really take a lot of refugees from there. +Hello! I just read this article and would like to share it with you. It is about the oak trees dying along the west coast. I know you are interested and we've talked about this before. It seems to be caused by beetles and they are multiplying faster because of warm temperatures. I wish there was something more we were doing to stop climate change and these warm temps! +Passing this article along to you! Remember how we were just discussing this? I guess there is enough doubt now in the death of the Polish former president that died in that plane crash that they now are exhuming the body. Some people suspect that the Russians actually poisoned him and the crash is a cover up! Not everyone's happy about this though as it might seem disrespectful. +I cannot believe that this happened. I feel so bad for her! Can you believe she received threats on twitter? It is cyber bullying for sure. I cannt imagine this happening to me, how scary! I am so sad that she had to cancel her account because of crazy people. Ughhh! I hope that these bullies are caught and she can go back to her account. +It is unreal that so many issues can come out of a natural disaster like this. YOu would think that we could pull together more and help people! I cannot imagine what would happen to us if a natural dister happened here, we would never recover. This is soo scary. I am thankful for all of the people volunteering time to help! +Can you believe that these women have to endure this?? I am so thankful that they are standing up for themselves and trying to regain some of their rights. It is crazy that things like this still go on in this world. I stand in support of these brave ladies and I hope that no undue harm is caused to them. +Can you believe this happened? Ughh. How scary! I realize that people can be angry with each other, but pushing someone in front of a train??? It is amazing to me that people are so out of control that they can't even handle a verbal dispute with someone. Its easy, just walk away! I guess I should stay away from the train platform +I had never heard of people shaming women who give birth by C section. This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I'm sure the majority of C sections are medically required to help the mother and the baby, not because women are just so eager to undergo major surgery. Why do people even care if someone gave birth by C section instead of natural birth anyway. +Wow, can you believe he survived in the jungle that long on his own? It is amazing what the human body is capable of hey? I remember the last time I went a couple days without food and it was so intense. People think they are ready to survive in the wild but we really have so few skills to get food for ourselves without the right tools. It's amazing that he was found after all that time. I wonder how long it will take for him to recover? +The results of the fire could have been worse. I'm just glad nobody died. Stuff can always be replaced. Burns are the worst since they're so painful. Hopefully these people have some family they can stay with until they're able to find a new housing situation. That's great that the firemen were able to get the fire under control so quickly. +I find it interesting to view the lives of primates in order to try and understand how it relates to our own. The way that the primates dealt with farsightedness seemed very practical to me which shows off their ingenuity and ability to problem solve. It makes me wonder if that's where humans get their own ability to problem solve as well. +I think it is a shame that people still lose their lives on trails. Some do not appreciate the dangers of mother nature and try to best her without realizing what they are up against. It is always important to prepare before you go out on a hike. Without understanding what you are doing, a person could easily end up lost or dead. +This type of thing is always largely ignored as it goes on, when people could have known about it but chose not to. Then many years later the truth comes out and some people address it with discomfort, and others still continue to ignore it. The way for real change to come is with accountability. Any crimes that aren't protected by a statue of limitations need to be addressed through prosecution, and they need to look for ways to prosecute instead of looking for ways not to. They should also encourage civil suits, but those are always against the departments and not the individuals. There needs to be reform so that the officers are the ones that are held accountable instead of the taxpayers continually having to make payouts because the police broke the law. +That idiot deserves a lot worse but hopefully we can erase all symbols of his existence soon. Starting with everything he did as President, but then get rid of all his buildings and everything else with his name on it. Maybe when he pays for his crimes he will have to sell all those buildings off. It would be great to get a full accounting of everything he actually owns so that he can repay everyone he has ever ripped off over his lifetime of scamming people. The name "Trump" should forever be associated with crime, grifting, treason, lying, cheating and just generally being a piece of human garbage. Let his stupid kids live with that brand. +The general rule of thumb is that to be healthy individuals need to get a minimum of eight hours of sleep a night. Some people get more, and some people get along well with less, but everyone needs to get enough sleep or else they cannot function effectively in their everyday activities. In their work, Your Guide to a Healthy Sleep, National Institutes of Health pointed out that sleep is very important to human existence, so important that one-third of a person’s life is spent doing it (1). In Sleep, Sleep Disorders, and Biological Rhythms, Amlaner said, “Sleep is a required activity, not an option” (19). During sleep the human body has an opportunity to recuperate from the activities of the day. The recuperation goes beyond tha +Hey soul sista. I know this whole Crutcher thing has you shook. I am certain you have read more articles on this matter. Let me say that reading this worries me as well. My wife is worried for her daddy who lives in the area. Please do me a favor and bring this article up in your weekly political meetings. I just want to make sure this gets more movement along the grass root channels you work with. I am sending my best with this article to you. +I cannot believe this! How can they do this to people? They have less than a week to move out after some of them being there for over 10 years. I am just saddened that political and ideological strife will deny not only teacher from working, but for students to be able to have a quality education. What can we do to help? Let me know if you know what we can rally against. +Remember when I told you I had ringing in my ear sometimes? This article seems to parallel what I was talking about. Can you look into this further? I really trust your viewpoint on this. I am going to ask my doctor about this later on this week. I do not want this to get worse. Maybe you can advise on a good doctor I can see regarding this? I am just really worried about it. Thanks again man! +Hey I just wanted you know that I read something disturbing this morning in an article. There were bombings and people were killed over fuel. This is alarming and out of control. I'm feeling so many emotions right now. From upset to angry. I don't understand how people can blow other people up over something so trivial and stupid. They were just wanting fuel! +Oh my goodness, did you read this article? It was heart-wrenching... I felt so sad while reading it and my heart breaks for the mother of these babies. There is no way that a parent should ever, ever have to lose a child,muchless two children at the same time. So horrifying and sad! Something has to be done about all of this. They deserve justice!! +Trump continues to fuck up the nation. Did you read this story of how Trump wants to back out of the Paris Accord? As a nation we are finally trying to seriously address climate change and we are doing that with partners around the world. However, Trump the national embarrassment has seen to it that not only do we not continue trying to make the planet better, but we also betray our allies. +you can never really trust a person.Someone can end up dead and those who are left in the wake are the ones that suffer.Really makes you think just how short of a life we have in comparrison.But having no sex can do something to a person.It is one of those things that we have a bond between a person and if something in a relationship is not working it can drive a person to do something they would normally not do. +That's a really strange and messed up situation. It's really sad for the children involved and it's very troubling that any country could plan out such an awful attack. I hope that things change in those areas of the world and more security is put in place so these types of attacks can be detected and negated. +it's dissapointing that in this day and age that homosexuality is still illegal in different countries. I would think that it would be past that and that people would just get over it. It took forever for America to recognize gay marriage so I guess it's not surprising that Uganda hasn't yet. But I still think that it's a breach of human rights and it's moraly wrong +This sounds like such a freak thing. It must be so hard for the family because there are no answers and they need answers. I'm not sure this is something that is easy to figure out. It sounds like a severe case of pneumonia, but from what, how and why. And the fluid on the brain of the one sister is so strange. I would think they would know more after the autopsies, and I don't understand why that is taking so long. I'm thinking that the family wants to bring the bodies back to the States and that could be holding up the autopsies. +Working out is important, but you may want to check the ingredients of the supplements you take. This article talks about a number of ingredients that can cause dangerous side effects and are also very common in work out supplements. It's scary to think about what we are putting in our body. From now on, I am probably going to cut back and go more natural. +I just read this article about a scandal involving a person trying to rent a place from someone else, but then it turned out that this person was using it for personal reasons because the place the other person was renting wasn't own bu the person they thought. It would be interesting if the author of the article didn't try so hard to sound like a kid using slang. +I just read this really long article about a white man that actually got sentenced after shooting a black teenager dead. I can't help but feel incredibly satisfied after reading this. It happens way too much in this country where white people are able to get away with hurting black people. This time, it finally feels like some justice has been done. +I just can't imagine that this poor 4 year old was blinded the way she was. But then I wonder if it is truly an act of justice to carry out the same punishment on the perpetrator. It seems so human to want revenge, but it also feel so useless. In a way it seems to make "us" as "bad" as him. It just makes me sad. +This is such a sad story. I feel so much for the mother trying to get away. Sometimes it seems like things won't be so bad. Sometimes it seems like tomorrow is another chance, but it seems to me that you can't give people the opportunity to destroy because they will. I would always encourage a one strike policy for my friends. That reminds me, how was your friend after her husband threatened to shoot her - are they still together? +Wow - this is so so horrible! I can't even begin to understand why Syria would attack its own citizens, and why would Russia support them in doing so? This is a sick regime and I am glad that America and its allies are interfering. The fact that they are denying doing it is truly messed up. I hope these poor children who survived are able to get the healthcare they so desperately deserved. Could you guys imagine if this was happening here?? +I saw this news item about a shooting in North Philly. Is this near where you live? Damn, I am so sick of gun violence. Will it ever end? Every day, it seems to be something new. Here in Detroit, we see it all the time and I know you're in a similar situation in Philadelphia. The article doesn't give any details about the victims or anything like that. It almost dehumanizes people, don't you think? I mean, these victims were somebody's relatives. Hopefully more details will come out in future articles. The news media cares more about being the first to report a story instead of sticking around to find out the details. I know I am rambling here. But all this gun violence is too much. +I don't understand why there is so much hate. It's like every one lives in their own little bubble seeing everything foreign to them as a threat. They take up selfish ideology because they don't like something, instead of just disassociating with it. This greatly saddens me, for I have seen the world in all it's wonder. Where the majority of people just want to live in peace, without boundaries. Yet this idea of cultural heritage has become disastrous further dividing people. If only more people could set aside their petty ideals, and just accept each other as other humans. Instead we classify and further separate ourselves due to every difference. I would prefer to just die, than put up with such cruel disgusting people. I am disgusted with my country of Americans. We deserve to burn.... +I feel that we are prioritizing efforts of saving the planet in the wrong way. We want to ban this or that, and that's great and all. However, we are missing the bigger picture. We need to focus on building a world that co exists with nature, instead of just saving little bits of it here and there. While some strive to save this or that, there are a million other things destroying it further. We need to end the destruction of our global ecosystem, and not pick and choose species to save. Other wise there will be nothing left, and those efforts would have been in vein. +If people are concerned about others to where they feel fear. They need to leave the situation entirely. No working things out, no seeing what happens. If you feel threatened, LEAVE! The problem is most people think they can't just drop everything. But it's mostly because they either don't know how, or don't want to live any other lesser lifestyle than they are accustomed to. Kids run away all the time from home with no skills, or means to get by. Many of them end up making it out ok. Some don't, but it's usually due to making the wrong choices. Taking the easy way out. We are free to make our own choices, and live the life we can live. So why would any one ever put up with feeling threatened, when they can just leave, and disappear. Even if you have no where to go, you can always die. +So I just read an article where 2 friends went diving to a place they shouldnt have and ended up dying. While they were using brand new equipment, I feel like idiots who take stupid risks and go to places where no humans should be, kind of deserve what ends up happening to them. If you dont sky dive, you never have to worry about going splat when your chute doesnt open +It would appear to me, in my opinion, the liberal, nonsensical, mainstream media is at it again. Let's use fear-mongering and misinformation to stir up a demographic in our all out effort against Donald Trump. I feel for those who don't read the actual proposals and/or legislation but instead decide to believe every word uttered by the talking head on TV. +Guys, please read this. This issue needs to be seen by more of us and acknowledged as something that happens more than we realize. Is this something we can change or work on as a community? Please help me think of ways we can work on making this a nonissue in the future for the next generation. This is our kids and grandkids future we are thinking of. +This shows how the current political environment is effecting people, especially younger people, emotionally. The stress and fear that is being shown from the younger generation is mostly to blame on social media. We used to be able to discuss political issues in person, calmly. Now, if you try to mention your opinion on social media, you run the risk of being attacked or insulted, simply adding to the fear of the current political situations. +Hey everyone, please share this! She appears to be in her late 60s or early 70s, 6'0", 175lbs, with gray hair. This could easily be someone's grandmother or mom, a family could be worried sick about her. Her outfit sounds like she may of been in some sort of retirement home or something similar. I know if this was my grandmother I could want to know so I could help her get home, so please share this within the area so we can maybe get her back to her home and family. +The Somali peope are suffering greatly. I feel so bad for what they have had to go through over the past while. Donald Trump doesn't have enough mercy or understanding for what they are going through. The United States may offer some help, but not nearly enough. They will be in poverty likely their entire lives, and it is just not fair. There must be a way to test to see if they are dangerous, and if not they should be welcomed into our country. +Kisii is a real tragedy. Many people are dead, and more people are severely injured. The drilling is likely what caused it, and the developer should be held responsible. He has caused much pain and suffering. Kenyans deserve better, and since he didn't listen to NCA warnings, he should pay for what he did. The other buildings in the area should be thoroughly tested to see if anything can be done to prevent this. +Rhinos are going extinct, and it s a real shame since they do nothing to harm human life. They are a majestic creature with much to offer. However, they are being killed because of poachers and their horn. The black rhino is almost extinct. Only about five thousand still exist in the world today, and this is a real shame. +It's upsetting that species are dying out, sometimes before we even know they exist. I wonder if there are ways we can use science to bring them back, if they even survive if we do. We need to take better care of the environment. It's worrying that as these species die out, someday ours might as well. +Ugh, another example of crappy cops. They think they can get anyway with anything. I've started to pull out my phone camera whenever I see the cops talking to someone, especially if they are a minority. Police brutality is such a problem in our country and it's just so deeply ingrained in the system, I'm not sure what can be done. We need some kind of overhaul of the criminal justice system. +I just cannot even imagine something like that happening. What makes someone do such a horrible thing? And especially when there were children on board? Such a senseless act. How scared those individuals and the victim must have been when that was happening. It is a good thing that that guy was there to help the passengers get off the bus. A tragic event would have been even more tragic had he not been there to save those people. I feel bad because those individuals (including the guy who saved the passengers) are all now scarred for life and their lives will never be the same. Their lives have been turned upside down because of someone else's senseless act and are forever traumatized by it. I hope those victims get the support they need and I hope that the driver's family receives support +This makes me feel nothing. I don't care about this. I don't see why I have to care about this. Bad things like this happen all the time and they have no affect on me. I have too many problems of my own to have to worry about more things like this. Thinking about this kind of stuff just adds to my stress. +The only solution for the "wage gap" is the total abolishment of capitalism and all governments. There will be no more wage gap when there is no money! By instituting Anarcho-Communism, all people can be given what they need without a worry of who is getting more or less. Capitalism is evil and must be destroyed! +This was a somewhat interesting article about the frequency of eye injuries in sports for children. They really could have used more data in the article but interesting all the same. The only real gripe I had was somehow playing with airsoft guns around the house are counted as sports related injuries so the data doesn't seem that reliable. +It's such a shame the man had to shoot the dog. Labradors in general are decent dogs and not know to attack people for no reason. He could have shot into the ground or into the air to scare the dog off. I feel bad for the lady that lost her dog but this is why you keep your dogs on leashes. If she hadn't let the dog off the leash this probably would not have happened. It's a terrible and unfortunate situation all around and I hope I never find myself with the same problem. I'm gonna go play with my dog now and be grateful. +It is very difficult for me to imagine how any person could leave a baby in a shoe box. I just don't understand how you could even leave a baby alone. Thank God the baby was in good health, at least whoever left the poor thing seems to have taken good care of it other than leaving it in a shoe box. Maybe in the end this will turn out to be a good thing for this baby, one can only hope. +Those poor officers. Like in any group of people, there are good and bad ones. In this society the tendency to demonize everyone for the actions of a few sets a very dangerous precedent and things like this can happen. Every person should be judged on their own merits. Saying all cops are bad because of what a few have done is so insane and the public outrage leads to things like this. I don't know for sure what this person's motivations were but there have been enough instances that some don't see law enforcement as people anymore and it makes their job so much more dangerous and we need good cops to do their jobs to keep us safe. +Remembering those who have lost their lives due to violence is so important. Do you remember what happened in Paris in 2015? I am so grateful that the people there set aside a special time to remember all the victims and their families. Such a senseless loss. People just wanting to enjoy some entertainment were met with a horrific experience and families were forced to wait in pain to hear news of the outcome. I am sure they will never forget that day. I do hope each day gets easier for them and that they remember the good memories of their loved ones. +I just read a very upsetting article about a recent incident involving U.S. troops in Jordan and I wanted to share it with you. There were three U.S. military trainers killed in gunfire by security units at Jordan base, fatally shot by security forces Friday when their vehicle failed to stop at the gate of a military base. I have no idea why the driver did not stop at the gate, which is certainly protocol. They have had serious problems in Jordan recently due to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees crossing their border. Jordan is and has been a significant U.S. ally in the war against ISIS and I can only hope that this incident is isolated and not part of a bigger problem. God bless the families of the deceased soldiers! +I just read an article about tour boat that capsized because of the boat operator. It was horrific reading the statements of the survivors. It brought chill to my bone when they wrote many situations that could of ended their lives. Just imagining what I would of done in that situation makes me feel troubled because I cant really swim in open water. All the survivors are now suing the company for injuries, recklessness, neglect, and trauma. Pretty crazy how one event can change the outcome of life or death. +Another article I read showing a death of African American driver by a police. I really upset me reading this article. That unnecessary force was used to handle the situation. Its crazy that the first thing on the police mind is to shoot to kill. I feel uneasy every time seeing and reading about situation like this where a situation could of been handled in a different way. Understandable that they work in a high intense environment but that why they train and follow protocol. +Have you ever heard of sudden oak death ? Over 66 million trees have just vanished since 2010 . bacteria is spread through the water . This is a scary thought where are we going to be at in the next 5 years? I think that we need to take note and start worrying about our planet this is not a good sign at all . +I really hate ISIS. They are the scum of the earth. I just learned that they killed over 100 Iraqi police officers in Mosul. This is the kind of thing that happens when we pull our troops out of Iraq. Yeah we should not have been there in the first place but we made that mistake and we now have to take responsibilty for it. I feel so bad for all the Iraqi people who just want to live their lives in peace. +I am shocked and saddened by this earthquake. What a sad and terrible tragedy. I feel so sorry for all the victims and those affected by this event. I can't even imagine how devastating this must be for them. What an incredible catastrophe. My thoughts and prayers and best wishes go out for all the many people affected by this tragic catastrophe. I hope that everyone stays safe for the foreseeable future. I am still in shock. +I feel really concerned that they have no idea who committed this crime. I wonder if there's more to this story. I wonder what the conditions were that led up to this event. I hope the victims will make a full recovery and that they catch this horrible person! My thoughts are with them and their families! +After reading this article it seem like a nightmare is becoming a reality. Today drug user, especially opiod user, are taking there drugs in front of their children. It seems like the drug user are tired of taking their drugs and having people around them disagree with their habits. Its really a shame that parent are doing these drugs in front of their kids. +Colonialism is a ugly part of American history, but it's one that we shouldn't forget. We can't undo the damage that we've done, but we can teach future generations our mistakes, and hope that they do not repeat them. A formal apology is the very least the Canadian government can do, and it is admirable. +It's unfortunate what happened. If I was a politican I'd say my heart and prayers go out to the victims affected, but honestly? It's hard to feel much sympathy for people so far away. I find the governments efforts to house and protect the affected civillians admirable. We have federal agencies devoted to disaster relief in the US, but we only go so far in helping people. +How can Canada think that was the right course of action? Of course we are no better with how we treated the Native Americans. These poor kids are ripped from their homes and subjected to such horrors because of who they are. It is sickening. It is as if we have no respect for the past. Who cares if they didn't speak the language or assimilate into "normal culture". Is that any reason to destroy their lives? No apology could ever fix what was done. So many children died, just because they were born into the "wrong" culture. This mentality, unfortunately, isn't isolated or gone from planet. We are destroying the identity of people who for the most part probably just wanted to live and die without interfering with the "new" culture. Is it so wrong to be different? +The spread of cholera is very widespread in Haiti. It is costing tons of lives, and money food and doctors are very much needed. Its hard to control like any other high spreading disease. Doctors need resources so much that they cant keep up with ever growing number of patients. They need food, medical supplies, and other miscellaneous equipment that would help them improve their job and combating the outbreak. +People and government and climate groups are scared President Trumps cabinet would push climate control policies back. He might put the states out of the Paris Treaty, and build more Coal factories that might emit more toxic fumes into the air and expand global warming. And in regards to other countries they might agree with it to as well, putting our earths climate at a dangerous risk. This might other protocols as well such as the Kyoto protocol +Hey, Josh have you seen this? World currencies are going to be taking a hit, I just wanted to let you know. The complete misunderstanding of how to run something as simple as a bank multiplied by thousands around the country of India is bringing that country to its knees. We see this happen all the time where markets are controlled by the government and something stagnates then we add more controls and now we have a depression. +Wow. That is really sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder why his friend would kill him. Must not have been friends after all, huh?????? I wonder how long the body had been there before he was found. Money was probably the motive since it usually is. He probably got over on him somehow and dude got his revenge. Oh well....... +Just read a short article about the Kim Kardashian robbery. Pretty scary for her, and the robbers kept demanding money. There were language/communication issues between her and the robbers, she thought they wanted her jewelry, and they wanted her money. I hope that she gets better security in place so that this never happens again. The article mentioned her providing information about her expensive diamond ring on Facebook - I think there's a lesson to be learned about that. +I feel so sorry for these people trying to flee their current situation. These crossings need to be safer for these people. All of these people drown and for what? A chance at freedom, a chance to get away from what they fear, and I feel like these people need to be helped and find a way to get them across safely. +I just read a troubling little snippet about a family who lost their home in Washington D.C. They haven't yet identified the cause of the blaze, but a family of five ha not only been displaced, but they also lost two cats which I'm sure were very dear to them. I'm glad to hear that the Red Cross has stepped in to lend aid to this needy family. +I know we have been talking about climate change, my friend. I read a news article that continues to build upon the foundational knowledge that we have speculated upon. As it turns out, a mere one degree Celsius change can have major impacts on the ecosystem. It affects genes and ranges in species. More than eighty percent of ecosystems are being put under stress. It makes me sad because we don't know the long-standing implications in the largest perspective. Every single day we can make choices to help negate the bad choices our species makes towards our environment. +It is so unfortunate that people are being attacked because of their religion. A lot of Christians in Mosul were ordered to convert away from their beliefs or suffer heavy consequences. This is not a choice most people want to make, let alone be forced to flee their homes. Churches, homes, and streets were not safe. Many people have considered fleeing over returning. However, the human spirit is strong. We all face adversity. Some are brave enough to face the terror and harassment they experienced to rebuild their lives. +I just read about the arrest of the women from that National Geographic magazine. You know, the one with the striking green eyes. She's in her 40s now, and she was just arrested for staying illegally in Pakistan. If worst comes to worst, she could be put in jail for 14 years or deported back to the place she was trying to escape. It breaks my heart to see refugees who are just looking for a safe place to live being at risk for deportation. +Poor sad polar bear! They need to move him now. If they are going to take polar bears and other animals out of their natural habitats, then they better make sure that the place they keep them in is at the right standard for those animals. They need to move that polar bear as soon as possible so that it has a chance at happiness. +I'm not so sure that there is any right in this situation, of course it was wrong what he did and he could have handled this another way. He did what he did for his own reasons and he can't take that back and he definitely does not feel sorry for what he did. Was it so serious just because he is the mayor and would it not been so serious if he wasn't a mayor? Could he have done something better with the money? Absolutely, so he isn't wrong when he says the money should have been used for other things, but throwing a pie in someones face probably isn't the best way to show it +Jeez, who would have thought that those little guys could wreak such environmental disaster. But this is a classic example of people who think their one indiscretion (dumping the fish in the river) is harmless. Much like someone who starts a forest fire, we should have laws making the person responsible liable for the cost of cleaning up the mess. Not that we'd ever catch them. +Here we go again. Another news report of another earthquake in Chile. Fortunately this one apparently didn't cause any damage, but it was no slouch either at a magnitude 6.4. Had the earthquake struck in a little different location, who know what might have happened. This is the same place that got hit with an 8.8 a couple years ago. Remember that one? That was so sad. It triggered a tsunami and 500 people were killed. Not to mention the fact that there were 220,000 homes lost. One piece of good news at least, since the 8.8 earthquake, they have put in a warning system for earthquakes and tsunamis. Thank God for that. That certainly can't prevent any earthquakes from happening, but at least maybe it will save some lives if, or should I say "when", the next earthquake occurs. +Things seem to be quite bad in Yemen. I can't believe is not only the United States conducting drone operations or military operations for that matter in Yemen. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are also in it. Things must be very bad overthere. I have little background about the issue in Yemen, I wonder what it is that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have to gain hehre? +This really sucks for the children and the families affected. They could sue the developers, but no amount of money is going to compensate them for the health issues these kids are going to experience due to lead poisoning. The worst thing about this is, if it were a wealthy white neighbourhood adjacent to the industrial site they wanted to demolish, you know they would have taken every precaution to test to see if there was any chance of releasing toxic amounts of lead into the vicinity. But it's a poor black neighbourhood, so of course they aren't as careful. +Hey you, I found more information about that woman who overdosed in the car with her infant. It is just horrible. From what I am reading it happened in Indiana and she had a syringe in her hand. Her poor baby was only 10 months old. How sad. They were parked outside of a Dollar General when thankfully someone noticed and called 911. The grandmother got guardianship over the baby, thank goodness. The women got booked on neglect and possession, hopefully she stays in there for awhile. +Those poor boys. They never asked for any of this. Their father be a died beat dad and kill them. What a completely asshole to scared jerk. The boys were so young and helpless with a dead beat dad. The man should of just killed himself and left those 2 boys out of it. What did he accomplish by killing his sons? I have no words to describe how much pain those 2 little ones were probably in. Its ashame when kids have to take fault for thier parents misfortunes. And that mother. The heart ache she will have to face of losing not only 1 son but 2. I cannot imagine the sorrow that woukd cause. +I am a firm believer of inoccent till proven guilty. But come on. There are multiple accounts with several different wome. That are coming forward towards this guy. This man needs taking off of the streets and put in jail. The things he did to multiple women is disgusting. I feel bad for these women who did not come forward in the beginning. Whether they were scared for their lives or just ashamed. It seems like alec could get a girl but just took things to far and to the next level. It ashame that a successful young man does something like this and ruins his entire life. Over sex. +Nothing is ever compatable to the support of people who are willingly happy to show their support and love to Trump. Although sometimes it is hard to think how impossible it is to agree with what Trump's want for the country. Supporting this kind of big event is always remarkable and will always be remembered by people. +This must be terrifying to have people come into your town, drag you from your home, and to watch while those you love are taken or shot, really it must be unbearable, even as you endure it. We get upset when we hear news of one or two people being kidnapped or suffering this kind of trauma, yet here we're talking about much more. It must be heartbreaking for them. +I think its so scary that there have been shark attacks in Australia's beaches. I wouldn't want to be a surfer there knowing that anytime my life could be in danger since you don't know what your surfing under whether its a huge shark preying on you waiting to strike and make you his fresh meal. I am always cautious when I'm in the water since people don't realize there are so many dangers deciding to get into the water. +Did you see this article about the protest in MI? It's so crazy how divisive the country has become over the election and how president tump's doing. What used to be considered rare and unacceptable seems now to become the norm, since all the crazy things trump says and does. Throwing a firecracker into a crowd? Who does that and think's its acceptable? People these days are getting very crazy. +Z did you hear?? Kate beckinsale and len wiseman broke up!!!! I can't believe it. What happened? I'm distraught. At least they don't have any kids so they don't have to put them through that whole thing about divorce. But I mean come on, she can barely even wait to get back out there, WITHOUT her wedding ring??? Jeeze. Sad. +Firstly let me say that she was NOT asking for it just by wearing expensive jewelry. The same people who believe that are those who believe women are ASKING to be assaulted just by wearing provocative clothes; disGUSTING. Secondly, let me just say that I respect Khloe for expressing her love and not being afraid of all the HATERS out there. Respect. +I didnt even bother reading this. I skimmed it. It's a meaningless bore. Why Im writing you to tell you this is beyond me, but my masters here believe it will be revealing in some way. And Im nothing if not a slave to my masters. So I write. To you, my friends. I hope you will find more meaningful things to read and do than this kind of crap. +Unbelievable! I just read an very disturbing article about a 23 year old male teacher charged with multiple counts of child pornography that was taking place at the school he teached in. He managed to get away with this crime for a very long time as he lured hundreds of children into his scheme before finally getting busted. It really pisses me off that scum bags like this are allowed near our children and I hope he gets a max sentence! +Seems like so many tragic accidents have been happening lately. I just read another article about the tragic death of a father son that took place during a hike. The both of them fell off a cliff and died recently while exploring the outdoors. There was an attempt made to recover their bodies but the exact cause was not specified. Poor souls. I pray that their family may be given strength as they discover the tragedy. +I just read an article about how the CO2 levels are high this year and they might not lower for generations to come. That is so sad for our children and grandchildren. I feel like instances such as this can cause health issues. Not only am I concerned about myself but Im concerned about my children and future grandchildren. +It’s a sad day when young kids are killing themselves. They act on impulse and do not realize that their actions have lasting consequences. If someone was just their to listen to these kids a lot of this probably wouldn’t be happening. Its just so sad especially for the parents and grandparents but also for the whole family. +What a disaster...I can't believe their course of action is to do nothing too. I can't even imagine how this is going to affect the local wildlife. They should be funding environmental groups to help the local animals in any way possible. This is going to have far reaching consequences too, as the poisoned fish and birds will affect other species and they'll end up effecting us as well. I wish there was some way to avoid these terrible accidents. +Better go stock up on coconut products. It seems coconuts are in danger due to some bacteria wiping out coconut trees in the Caribbean. Many fear it will spread to other coconut producing countries. The techno people are trying to breed some kind of cure. They are using gene banks to come up with a solution but costs are prohibitive. There’s an International Coconut Genetic Resources Network or COGENT that’s getting some funding but even it’s in trouble financially. They are looking for coconut product users and big companies to help out. Have a heart, save the coconut trees! +Hello friend, have you read this article? I think you should, it's quite interesting if I do say so myself. It is about a Representative named Darrell Issa, he is a Republican and has a Southern California seat. How great would it be, to see this massively bad man lose? Hopefully, Issa may well quote Mercutio on November 8th: “...ask for me to-morrow and you shall find me a grave man.” +Why are they prescribing things like that to such young kids? That's so insane. Benzodiazepines, especially, shouldn't be prescribed in general, in my opinion. Doctors are overly calm about the things they prescribe to people, people that young shouldn't be subjected to that, and the death tolls aren't surprising. +A lot of us not just veterans are losing sleep. I believe its because of deppression. We aren't happy and its because of money. Humans are always working they have no life. Work is not life. Some people don't get to spend time with there kids or family. They cant even have time for themselves. There worried about work, what time they have to get up, or what they will eat because they don't have time to cook. So we eat unhealthy thing that can lead to depression. Not getting enough sleep or the right nutrients lead to sicknesses. Theres people who don't have enough time to see a doctor. Our lifestyle is the reason we're not getting enough sleep. People put way to much on there plate just so they can have money. Everything is about money. +It is very sad to know Robert died. He was a great actor. You never now when your time is going to come. I get very worried of my own health. There are so many sicknesses and diseases. I tried to get checked annually at the doctors. I hope they come out with a cure for these diseases and sicknesses. I feel like Robert did live kind of a long life. Robert has made good memories and I think that is very important when living . I want to make a lot of good memories now that I'm alive. Everyones life should have meaning just like Robert's. +I have a real hard time with this article. My husband is a US Army soldier that fought to take over Mosul the first time at the cost of many lives. And through incompetent measures in our government and military, we let go of Mosul and are again trying to figure out a way to take it back. It makes me sad that there are people being oppressed in the world but it is also clear to me that at what cost do we fight the oppressors and pick a whose side to be on. Maybe we should worry about ourselves stateside and stay out of the mess in the middle east. +While this seems like good news that there are fewer and fewer cases of Zika I would be lying if I said it wasn't still alarming. It seems very strange that such a huge virus with a widespread development and all of the media attention is now just a minor issue. It's either hiding somewhere are there's worse on the way. Or it could have all just been media hype to sell TV. Hard to say but suspicious all the same. +Hey friend, Can you believe just how crazy this is getting over in the middle east? My heart weeps so much for the families and just the innocent bystanders that have to deal with this. Imagine if your home was getting bombed and who knew where you would get your food next. I can't imagine the pain that they go through on a daily basis meanwhile I can go get any kind of food I want or drinks or whatever. Not a worry in the world for me, meanwhile these people are being bombed and just all around treated like cattle. We need peace! +Dear god friend, Let me tell you, this is just disgusting. Poor animals. We continue to damage the environment and this tug boat company just says oh my apologies and thanks for cleaning up my mess. After they destroyed ecological habitats and caused damage to almost extinct species. The company should be fined millions of dollars and be in some serious deep water no pun intended. I know you agree man. I hate to see animals hurt and just the negligence is enough to make me want to go out there myself. WE need to take care of this planet for once effectively and I know you agree with me. +I can't believe Wells Fargo would do this in such a unprofessional manner. Repossessing vehicles without going through the proper procedures. Especially screwing over people who protect our country. I hope their fines were huge. They are going to have to do a lot of changing if they want to get the trust of their customers back. I for one never plan on using them. +That was the strangest article I've ever read - I'm not sure why I read it. Was it an error? Art/? It just said something like "article title - article - article source - date." I'm not sure how to emotionally react to such a thing since it had no emotional content whatsoever, no biographical content, no factual content, no real content at all. Seriously, I believe there is a malfunction in the survey. +I really don't know anything about Keisha. The only thing I know is her music. I don't know how the music business works. I don't know if this is true. It seems like if she really wanted to she could have taken more control. It was her choice whether or not she ate or not. She let them take control. there is always a choice. +Of course I only know what I read in the article. It sounds like it could be the ex police officer was trying to protect himself. The son was already arrested for assaulted the father. I believe the police will investigate the shooting and take the necessary actions. I don't think the police will look the other way just because he is an ex police officer. +I just read this article about a haze that was responsible for killing 100,000 people. Can you believe that!? The haze was caused by fires used to clear rain forest, if I remember correctly. I mean could you imagine that happening here. It is unfathomable. I know we have our wildfires but very few people die to them. Imagine what people are going through. +Hey bud, Check this news out. Apparently a couple was on a cruise ship and the husband fell off the ship unintentionally. After reading the whole article, I believe that the other husband has the right to sue the authorities for not saving the his husband after he fell off. In any case, whether the person was guilty of previous crimes, he or she should be saved or this would have been seen as sketchy work by the police officers. \ No newline at end of file diff --git

sounds like a horrible accident. I can't even imagine what that family is going through. The ones that were involved in the accident but survived probably saw some horrible things, and those kids who witnessed their mother die. As a parent myself that's a terrifying thought I would never want my son to go through something like that. +For days, a hazy pall has spread across much of northern Georgia, including metro Atlanta, home to 5.7 million people. State officials warned that the air is unhealthy, and cautioned people with breathing problems to stay indoors as much as possible. With state firefighters scrambling to quench the blazes currently active, officials told people to avoid starting new fires that could quickly spread. “We’re a cigar butt away from a disaster,” said John Williams, adventure guide at Amicalola Falls, a state park near the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia +It's horrifying to see a dog subjected to such a cruel fate. This brings attention to the numerous other cases of fatalism that could've been prevented by careful inspection and care for one's pets. Dogs deserve better from us, and it's our obligation as human beings to provide care for animals as much as possible. +A two year old in Willoughby Hills East of the Cleveland area fell from his eleven story apartment building. His parents were in the living room and had no idea that this had taken place. There neighbors had found the child motionless on the ground and presumably dead. The police are treating this as a pure accident and don't anticipate any further charges. +This will not end well. People have to improve their own country. Taking a shortcut by moving to a better country will just result in the host country suffering. The best citizens will work hard to improve their country. They will not give up and leave. Lots of blood was shed in many of the countries that migrants seek to live in. +Despite our best efforts, it really is nearly impossible to keep our children and families from the cruel nature of the world. Even something like a vacation to another country or a trip to watch fireworks can result in tragedy that leaves everlasting scars. This is a world we want to avoid, but find ourselves surrounded by almost always. +Why are there so many issues between the middle eastern countries and the United States? There needs to be world peace and each nation should stop trying to be the powerful dog here. I wish everyone could just get along and we wouldn't have to waste so much time with these political affairs. So many people lost lives over nonsense. +Did you know that Climate Change Threatens the World’s Coffee Supply?? A report I read about a report says thinking of the many ways climate change threatens coffee and coffee farmers has alarmed people who are now imagining what it would be like getting through the day without their caffeine fix! Well, it certainly is concerning to me! The report, released this month, was commissioned by Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand supposedly the hub of the global Fairtrade system. I guess it doesn’t contain much new research, but still it has made waves by collating an array of available literature suggesting that climate change will have a major effect on the world’s coffee supply. Well, knowing how you love your coffee just as much as I do, I just knew this would fascinate you! Tell everyone!! +A perfect example of greed and selfishness-British government is willing to kill innocent creatures in order to drill for oil, regardless of consequences! Instead of exploring other alternatives, such as natural energy sources, they will go and march their way to Africa and claim innocent lives just to put money in their pockets. I wonder if the majesty Queen, the mighty Queen of England, would appreciate of someone suddenly marched into her palace and started drilling for oil?!!! Absolutely disturbing-total disregard for nature and living creatures, nothing but pure greed regardless of the cost! +This article I just read was so, unbelievably sad and tragic. This incident is so horrible. Such a gruesome death. I can't imagine being that two year old and falling for so long. Ugh, it makes me so upset. I feel so bad for the parents, they must feel so guilty. It would be so hard to overcome everything. +This kind of stuff is definitely very political because it shows how corrupt the Venezuelan government is very corrupt. I get that every country has their own issues, but what happened here is absolutely ridiculous! Wouldn't want to live here at all. You guys should check this out whenever you get a chance. +Can you believe how people are acting over this? They are acting like a bunch of rabid animals. This is not how you protest. Going around acting violent and destroying things does not solve anything. This is chaos. There is no excuse for this type of behavior just because you don't agree with an election. +I guess people don't realize how much of an impact they can have. The article says if people would have done something they could have stopped the extinction of the animals. But at the same time, it is people's action indirectly that caused the extinction, through contributing to climate change. There is so much that can go out of balance in nature when people are involved. When one species dies off, then everything in that ecosystem changes. I guess the article was kind of interesting. But what is the solution the problem they are talking about? How should people intervene to save those animals? +Death to the police! There is no member of the police that is your friend, even those who are no longer on the force. Only someone who fully recants their position as a police officer and demonstrates tangible remorse about their actions can be accepted. All police are evil, because the police naturally attract people who would abuse their powers. +so three missiles get shot up in the air randomly like if this were to be a daily routine. nobody was going to do anything about it. the craziest part about it is reading about the father who the article states that jokingly told his family to forgive him if he did not return home that night. that man did not return home that i find insane. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading a very interesting and somewhat disturbing article. It was about Thomas Arthur, an inmate on death row in Alabama. There began a massive legal battle between the courts, justices, and lawyers about the legality and morality of lethal injection practices. I feel conflicted because on one hand, these people committed unthinkable crimes and deserve severe punishment, but on the other hand, taking a life may still not be justifiable. +Hey hun! I was just reading this article about a family of 3 young black boys who went through foster care and ended up in prison later on in life, and it made me want to share it with you. It breaks my heart knowing this probably happens all the time in our country! That there are kids who, through no fault of their own, are set on a path that ultimately leads to their downfall and punishment later in life! There need to be changes made to the foster system so that there are more homes available and counselling for these kids so that they can learn at an early age to deal with the things they are going through instead of internalizing it all and becoming angry and bitter. What do you think? Maybe we could write some letters to get people thinking about this situation! +It's nice that these cases are critiqued so thoroughly as once an execution has started, there's no going back. It sounds like he shot his relative for sure though. Even though he maybe didn't kill the husband of the woman he had an affair with, one murder should potentially be enough for the death penalty. +The fact that this article shows the global gender gap not being equal until 2196 is particularly disturbing. And, I wonder why women have dropped out of the workforce globally? I mean, I did drop out but only after 30 years of employment. It seems as if, in this day and age, you'd hear that women's participation in the workforce had increased, not decreased. +I just read the article and i want to say i think its terrible anyone would actually blame the doctors for someone committing suicide. Of course its incredibly sad and i feel for anyone that has to go through what people like that do go through but how can these doctors be blamed. That means that anyone can be blamed for missing the signs and its too hard to tell when someone will actually commit to killing themselves even when they are making empty threats. +I always wonder whether to believe articles like this. I have always liked Mayweather, and I feel there are probably two sides to this story. Besides, the lawsuit is filed but there is no verdict yet, so Mayweather could be innocent. Anyone can file a lawsuit and the only proof of who is right is when the suit is decided. I will be interested to follow the outcome of this one. +Aww, I hope this story isn't really true. I mean do people still go to see elephants perform anywhere? And people have been so much more vocal and worried about animals for quite a long time, I just have trouble believing that this story is true. I hope not. Plus, do elephants really live that long? +This is a completely unacceptable situation. Our military bombs a Doctors Without Borders medical facility and they have the gall to point their fingers at those who were bombed. And the only restitution they offer is a promise to keep bombing and carrying on just like they were until the mission is completed. Revolting. +I'm sorry to hear that about Dakota's parents. Even when you are adult it must be hard to see your parents splitting up. No one wants that to happen and it's unfortunate that her parents couldn't work it out. I hope they are able to still remain civil around the kids and family. Just because it didn't work romantically doesn't mean it won't work at all. +This is a really interesting article about primates. It just talks about some of the things this certain species of primate does as they get older. They tend to adjust their position so they can see things better as they age. The younger bonobos sit close to their partner when they groom but the older ones sit ridiculously far away. I wouldn't even think their arms could reach when I read the distance was over a foot. +These actresses and actors have tons of money. If they really wanted to do the right thing, they certainly could, for their only son. They are just selfish people, wanting what they want and unwilling to compromise with each other. Most actors and actresses are like that. They are so self-centered. I can’t stand people like that. I feel sorry for the poor kid. Although he will probably grow up to be a self-absorbed, selfish brat, just like his parents. I swear that I think the less people have, the better off they treat their children and their families. I have no sympathy for people like these rich snobby people. They probably have their own jets, tons of money. Yet, they still can’t compromise. I wish people like this would get a grip and I wish the media would stop reporting +Hey, I just read an article written by a snowflake that is melting under manmade "global warming". One thing I have never understood is how the communist party took over the environmental movement without a shot. Remember when we found out the founder of 'GreenPeace' left after discovering the flood of communist and socialist coming into academia and the organization he started? I wish someone would actually do some research instead of repeating the same old stuff. +The war that involved India and Pakistan is terrible. There are so many innocent civilian me were killed. The world needs peace and it is hard to imagine that a lot of people in 21st centery are still suffering from wars. We should really cherish that we live in the US and far from what happened there. +Hey dude did you see that article that come out about police torture in chicago? It's pretty crazy and damning - it's one thing to know this kinda thing has been going on but its another thing to see all of these actual documents talk about willingly torturing people AND that it's still going on today. How disgusting. +Trump's handling of Mexico has been atrocious. While illegal immigration may have fallen, it's no reason to treat such a big trading partner like a second class world citizen by telling them they have to pay for a wall. A wall which would be completely useless as far as keeping people out, because there are such things as shovels and boats. It's just completely absurd. +Everything from the smoking dangers posed to children, to the epidemic of rats and their waste products, to even refugee crises surrounding Greece - are all problematic situations. These situations have to each be approached from a different perspective, and because of this - they require a more focused and specialized touch. +With the ever-growing lack of medical clinics and equipment in 3rd world countries, more outbreaks will eventually start and can affect millions of people. This article for example, showed that cholera outbreak in Haiti, Millions has been affected and people are dying but we don't have the resources to help them. +Just wanting to let you know about a news story I came across. It is about an elephant, named Nosey. He is been owned by a guy and held in chains. He used Nosey to perform for public entertainment in circuses and forced for most of her life to give rides to adults and children across the United States. Oh, and she has been in solitary for almost 30 years, that is a lifetime. Being captive for such a long period caused major stress to her health as well as to her psychological well being. The owner has been cited numerous times but in the same time his license was still approved for renewal each year. There should be awareness for this abuse to stop. +The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is not dead, apparently, after all! While the reef is mostly destroyed, it has sections that are coming back to life, and it can be stimulated back to recovery despite a 2016 article proclaiming that it had suffered its death stroke. Did you know it can be seen from outer space? How magnificent! We should do what we can to preserve it, even if it is a losing cause because it is a true wonder of nature. I know that contradicts what I told you earlier about not trying to save species, but hey, whoever said consistency was my greatest attribute? +I was saddened to hear of a Chinese military fighter pilot who was killed in a training exercise recently. It's unclear what the cause of the crash was, but it's certainly a tragedy to all involved regardless. It's horrifying to think of the time and training that someone like that would put in to learning to pilot the aircraft and to think that it wouldn't be enough to keep her safe. +I think China has a real problem with safety standards and that's why they have so many accidents in their various industries. It's really sad that they place economic growth over human lives. If they did implement safety standards, they wouldn't lose so many lives or potential workers and people that care for children. +Unfortunately, I have a yahoo email account and of course I am worried about my information being stolen. Fortunately for me though, I never really used that information for personal reasons, i mainly used it for a junk email, so there would be no real important information that one could steal from me. But this also makes me worried that any other email sites, like gmail, hotmail etc could just as easy be hacked. +Again it's all about the money. Corporate America strikes again. They leech as much money from the working class as possible as they sit in their office, finger banging their secretary. When their lies and misdirection is revealed, some fat cat takes the blame (along with millions of dollars of hush money, and the working class is thrown to the wolves and blamed for most of the misdeeds. +Class differences influence and varies how a parent raises their child. Middle-class parents raise their child through the use of feelings and lower-class parents raise their children through behavior control. Middle-class parents and lower-class parents raise their children to be like them feeling and behavioral wise. Middle-class children get reprimanded for feeling the wrong way and lower-class children are punished for behaving badly +I read an article about how a man killed himself after killing his wife. It sounded like the man really had some problems. I dont understand how you could kill someone that you say you love. The article said he "hacked his wife to death". That sure sounds rather violent. The woman was rushed to the hospital all bloody and the man was in a coma. The hospital confirmed that the woman had passed. +We need to be more responsible with our wilderness areas! It is alarming that no one wants to talk about how these areas are being destroyed by development and can never be returned to their original wilderness states. Can you imagine a world in which our children can never go camping or hiking in the wilderness because it has all been destroyed and turned into buildings?? +Being able to get out of contracts for timeshares sounds like quite a nightmare. Not being able to get out of such a contract, ESPECIALLY if you've fallen ill is quite possibly the worst case scenario. Furthermore, not being able to afford travel insurance because of it is a terrible time, especially after they have been fighting their contract for a number of years now. +Oh, Yahoo. I wonder what country they're talking about? Probably Russia. It's always Russia nowadays. I'm glad I stopped using Yahoo years ago. I feel vindicated. Not that Google or any of the other services I give information to are immune. It's just that Yahoo has such a bad, ugly, sad interface. And now this. +I didn't realize just how much discord there was going on in Burma. Near total distrust of the local government from segments of the local Muslim population, it's really shocking and concerning to me. The Rohingya apparently aren't even allowed to worship at their mosques, nor are they allowed to go to work to earn a living. It's very concerning to me that I hear a member of the government seemingly unconcerned about how these people are being treated. Enough isn't being done, not nearly enough, by almost all parities involved, to hear some of the stories of what is happening on the ground is really heart breaking. +Apparently there are now a lot of wildfires in the Appalachia area, and it seems people are going to try to spin this into a "climate change" story. It seems that every single negative event can be attributed to climate change. The media doesn't even try to make an argument, it just inserts insinuations. I used to believe that global warming was a deadly threat to humanity, but if you look into things, there are many extremely dubious elements to the "official" story, and now I don't know what to think. Even if the official story is true, it is obvious that the issue is being routinely used for political purposes. And I don't know if it is true. Why has a vast swath of temperature readings been "corrected"? Most people don't even know about this issue. +I'm glad I don't wear contacts, because I'm so lazy with them that I would likely become infected and that would be horrible for my already terrible eyes. I read an article that said that people who leave their contacts in while they sleep are more likely to get an eye infection that can cause blindness. Makes me wish I could fix my vision to perfection again. I hate that I have terrible eyesight and have to rely on primitive glasses or risky contacts. It's not fair and I am very upset about it. Does anyone want to donate their eyes to me? I promise I will take good care of them. If only I could grow new eyes or get badass bionic cyborg eyes that can shoot lasers, then i could defeat the bacteria and be a hero to the human race. Well that's all silly pipedreams. I just have to deal withit +it was a very gruesome moment it doesn't help the fact that refugees face an exhaustive screening process by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees that can take years. it is good that when The federal government and its nonprofit partners provide job-search help and cash assistance for refugees during their first months in the United States. After that, they are largely on their own. This strategy has made it hard for refugee families—who often come to America with few assets or material possessions—to move up and out of poverty, and may be contribute to younger generations’ sense of isolation, the result of struggling to find their place in this country. Now, earning a living in the U.S. is proving difficult for younger generations. Donald Trump’s crusade against immigrants +Friends and family - we need to pray for those people in Taiwan. They have just been hit by yet antoher hurricane. This has left their country in quite the run down state. People are heavily effected in this country and need our thoughts and prayers. We also need to pray for China due to the hurricane heading there next. +The growing back and forth tension between the United States and Russia is really worrisome. One minute it seems like they like us and the next they have nuclear weapons at the ready and pointed straight at the United States. It's scary to think about what could happen especially with the big mouthed president we have. +I'm glad that they finally put an end to this mans killing spree. I'm not sure why he did what he did but he was obviously mentally ill and wasn't taking his medication. I believe friends had to have been helping him hide otherwise I don't know how he could have hidden so long otherwise. Anyways, incidents like this only makes them try to crack down harder on guns and our rights to bear arms, but this person was clearly mentally ill. +Climate change is already evident in all the ecosystems of the earth. the genes of living beings are changing in response to climate changes, affecting ecosystems around the world. the changes that by natural means should take a hundred of decades to occur, takes very few years to complete. This disorder affects the whole relationship of the ecosystems, discouraging them and causing their extinction. +I read that apparently a man in Georgia was accused of deliberately leaving his son in the car to die from the heat. I really hope he gets the death penalty and they leave him in a hot car just like he did to his son. The world is filled with evil people and it was really disturbing to hear this story. +This is really sad! I would think there would be a way to stop this from happening. Everyone knows this is being done, so why couldn't they stop it. The human traffiking is a sad thing and to have them all dying try to get to another place is sad.There must be some kind of policing that could be done wherever the people are boarding these boats. +Feelings are deemed appropriate if they fit the current situation. Since individuals want to fit in and be seen as normal, they are constantly working on their feelings in order to fit the situation. Emotion work is more so how people want to feel or how they want other people to see them feel. Feelings are not permanent, but an ongoing thing because people constantly try to bring up, suppress, or manage feelings +I was with him and mildly supportive of him until I found out about the second shooting. You can't just go shooting everybody who had every treated your daughter wrong. My initial thought was, oh the justice system failed and this guy had it coming. Then after reading about the second incident, I'm starting to feel like this was more a crazy guy on a shooting spree. +Of course they don't see well as they age! They're so much like us, even in the small details of how they stretch their arms to be able to perform their work. Just like my dad when he can't find his glasses and tries to read his magazine. I can't even comprehend why some people won't see how similar animals are to humans - how actually humans are animals. It blows my mind every day. +I just read an article about 500 people being killed in an earthquake. I feel so blessed that I live in a state where I don’t fear earthquakes, or severe tornado warnings, flash floods or major disasters. Of course Vermont has had our issues and weather events that caused damage, however we’re not in a region of the world where we fear for our lives at certain months of the year. I could not imagine being terrified for my children, property, and family like some of these families are. Living through an experience like that, must leave behind emotional scars while growing up. +i could care less what isis does as long its not done in my country. I think they should all be put to death and be done with it. They are a terrorist group and deserve all the bad things that are going to happen to them. I do feel bad for the lose of life and feel sympathy for the families of the officers killed. +It may make me sound horrible, but I'm torn on this. No one should have to suffer like that for the crime of theft, it's barbaric, but if it really was a twenty-something that was part of an armed gang, I'm slightly less sympathetic about their victims retaliating. If it was a child, however, this is insanity and just horrifying. +According to a new study, the polar regions are continuing to melt. In a decade, a lot of the ice melted. This situation is really affecting polar bears because they live in that environment. I found out that they ambush seals as they come up out of the water. Whether we can change this trend or not, I am not sure about but we should try. +It never ceases to amaze me that things like this as still occurring. They want to roll back regulations when things like this happened because there were none and now kids have to pay the price, but they are kids of color so they dont matter. Remember this, Flint still does not have clean water years later. The government is corrupt and the cancer starts in the Oval office and runs through his swamp. Its time to get these people out of office and to punish the companies and people that have allowed this to happened to the innocent children of America. We need more regulations not less. +Hello friend, This article scared me. I can't believe how high suicide rates have become in teens. I understand that young teens are more inclined to act impulsively. One bad day at school can triger a suicide attempt, that's crazy! Schools should do a much better job protecting children from bullying. I know that's impossible to eradicate it, but it schools and parents take the issue seriously enough, we could at least reduce the number of suicides. +We live in a different age where millennials are going to be taking over the community shortly within this decade. First we elected the first african-american president. Now we have Trump, the most controversial president of all. He may change things for better or for worse time will tell. Hopefully he can bring innovation. +Corruption in corporations are an everyday occurrence. And it seems more and more the American workers are the victims of these erroneous fat cats. It's deplorable that the CEO gets away with corporate corruption and when the conscious of the workers come into play, they fire and ruin their lively hood. The corporations are in league with Washington due to the money trails. When the money is taken out of politics things will be better. +Situations like this make you feel so helpless. I mean it's utterly awful but there's nothing you can do about it. Reading about it just feels like needlessly troubling yourself. There's a feeling of guilt too because the whole situation was brought about by the US invading their country and we could've prevented that. +It's really disturbing we have a president that enables all these terrible behaviors we are witnessing unfold before us. I am happy there movements like #Metoo exist to show people that we will not tolerate these kinds of acts. It's like these people never had mothers or sisters. The way they act is beyond comprehension and I hope the media keeps exposing people who have bad intentions. +This is just more of the western world becoming cold and inhospitable. Britain and France are both implicated in the troubles in these countries from their years as colonialists. Turning their back on these people is a mark of shame for them. It's despicable to let these people live in squalor and then to call it a jungle, as if this is 'wild' is kind of sick. The wild would have more respect and be more amenable to these people. +you can't sleep too much or too little. What else is new. I'm sure there will be a high priced drug that can solve this issue. The scientists and government of America couldn't care less about the average citizen. Look at the food supply, look at all of the drugs they want us to take. it's all about money and has nothing to do with concern for our well-being. +I know people tend to get really angry at law enforcement when a shooting or bombing doesn't get prevented, but I feel like it is way too complicated of an issue. I just read and article about it, and for law enforcement to keep enough information and follow enough leads to prevent every attack, we would need to sacrifice a lot of our civil liberties. It is just not worth it. +This is just something better to know. I am not a person who really alert about what is going on around. I never heard about this. I do not really have any comments. Just want today that it is good to find a way to save money. If you could, you can transfer this article's to whose who will find them useful. +That Kirk guy seems like a real loser. How can you lie about your military history and still get to serve as a politician. Than to attack somebody that you don't even know the facts about that person especially when they have made sacrifices for their country. So what if somebody was born somewhere else. If they have put their time and heart into a place that place is their home. +I read an article about the gender gap in the world today. Sadly the US has moved down in the list behind all of the major European countries. I guess the number of women working in senior positions is shrinking. There is also a decline of women in the labor force. But there is evidence that the education gender gap is shrinking, so there are more women educated. It just seems that more women are choosing not to work. +Take a look at this. It's very dry, and I don't understand half the words, but while I was reading it, I was feeling sort of glad that apparently plant and animal species are adapting to the warming climate. It seemed like the planet is warming slowly enough for a lot of ecosystems to adapt. And then I read the last bit, about humans and agriculture, and got cold all over again. Will we adapt, too? I gotta say, at this point, I'm hoping that volcano in Hawaii spews a gazillion tons of ash (after everyone's been evacuated, of course) into the atmosphere to block the sun and cool things down. It may be our best shot. We could only be so lucky. +I am so tired of war. Especially when all it ends in death, murder, rape, etc. What is the point of all that. Who benefits from it? It just makes me sad for all those people. It sure does make me grateful to live in a country where I do not have to deal with all that. Could you imagine waking up every day not knowing if you're going to die or blow up from a bomb? +Thank goodness for PresdientTrump hopefully this means an end to DACA and hopefully immigration reform in the near future! These people have broken the law and are here illegally yet they expect to be treated just like US citizens. DACA is a slap in the face to those immigrants who followed the law and went through the process to become legal citizens. Liberals are not adjusting very well to the defeat of Hillary - they are still crying. +I am so glad that I'm not a celebrity having my every move made public and being analyzed. It would be awful to be under that constant and never ending scrutiny. The thought of being under the constant watchful eye of the world, and them profiting from a me having a bad day makes my stomach turn. I feel bad for him in a way, I've had a few rocky relationships and I couldn't imagine going through them publicly. +That really crazy that a woman would actually push another person on to train tracks based off a disagreement. I get that you guys don't agree with something but that doesn't give you the right to take a persons life. I feel so sorry for the victims family because they lost a valuable family member over some petty dispute that would probably be forgotten the next day. Truly a tragic story that should be a learning situation for anyone with a disagreement with another individual. +I just read this article about a wolf being killed after traveling 700 miles by a government agent . I don't understand it ! There was no reason for it . It hadn't attacked or disturbed anyone so what was the point of it all ? I feel like anymore people just kill animals to kill . This is why one day so these animals will be extinct . I think that it should be against the law to kill any animal that hasn't put you in danger in and way ! This is not ok! This needs to stop ! I am disgusted by it all! +I think this situation will more or less quickly be resolved. It is just a temporary issue and I really believe the gas prices will go back to normal. I don't think there should be too much to worry about. I remember this happened around the crisis here back in 2009 and everything was settled rather quickly. +Women in Iceland protested the pay gap between men and women by arguing that a woman's salary is 30% less than the salary of a man in similar work positions, the women of Iceland decreased their working day 30% of the time daily work and went out to protest united to a square.This was supported by the majority of the community. +This is a dangerous occupation and I wish no one would do it. Some have to feed their families so I understand if it's the only job available. However- the government should make it safe for them. It is unavoidable and it seems it cannot be made safer. My condolences. I wouldn't want my family to work in one. +Just read that due to climate change, hotter than normal temps may be the new normal. In 2013, temps screamed up to 122 F. in Australia, which is frightening. But when you think about who really has the capacity to change this -- which is each individual -- it gets even more frightening. The primary cause of climate change is just too many people, full stop. I do not have much hope that people will stop procreating to save themselves, and this is the biggest tragedy of all. +Why do people hurt harmless animals? It doesn't make sense to me honestly. I look into the eyes of an animal and I can't help thinking that they don't fully understand why we would hurt them either. I think it's so cruel that people do this to animals because they trust us to keep them safe it doesn't matter if they're wild or not. This poor elephant that was chained up, and beaten, and made to do tricks just for our amusement. +Hearing about the violence going on over politics in the country is really sad and upsetting. It's easy to take for granted how we live and how lucky we are that we don't have to worry about people killing us on a daily basis. Our government is also democratic which means people have a voice. This isn't the case in some areas/ +Honestly it seems that the world is and has been providing a place for many refugees from all over for some time. I find it annoying that despite the people from africa and the middle east being evacuated from theyre previous worse situations they still feel the need to incite riot and cause chaos and show not only ungratefulness, but barbarity. +You have to read this. It's unbelievable that people could act so rash and wrong towards another human being, no matter what happened. If I were in that situation, I'd be so angry and I would want to hurt someone back. It's hard not to get caught up in the emotion of the situation since so many people got hurt. +This is so sad, but I think it had a lot to do with a bunch of college kids drinking and partying, and then something going terribly wrong. I think there was a group of kids that started arguing with the guy and one got pretty riled up and hit the guy. I find it interesting that there were things that were not being commented on. I think there's a lot more to this story than what the school is reporting. +I just read a horrible article online about 10 people getting hurt after a huge fire started in an apartment complex in Arizona. That is so horrible I really feel bad for them. The say that eight of the people had minor injuries so that is good that it was only minor. Unfortunately one person had to be taken to the hospital but they are in stable condition so that is good news. Apparently two people outside of the apartment were also hurt by the fire some how. I think they were able to get the fire under control pretty easily though cause it only lasted around 10 minutes. They had to have the gas company come and shut off the gas and apparently they are investigating what could have caused the fire in the first place. That reminds me of the fire that happened at my neighbors house. +Take a look at this story about a forest being decimated and what is happening to the monkeys there. So sad. Think you would be interested in reading it. The government is doing nothing to stop the deforestation or anything to protect the monkeys. I know that it is not local to us, but still a sad thing to read about. +Did you read this story about the mountain climber who died trying to climb a mountain in Vietnam? It was very sad. The girlfriend begged him to get help but he refused until it was too late. I feel so bad for his family and girlfriend he left behind. I do take comfort in knowing that's what he wanted to do and he died following what he wants. +Did you hear about the three people who died on Halloween night? It happened in Mississippi on a highway. Someone hit a trailer that was pulling people on a highway. Several people were injured, but three were killed. Authorities say that the three killed were related to one another. That is so sad and breaks my heart. It was most likely a family, a mother and her kids, or a father and his kids. It really makes me sad when I read about it because I cannot help but imagine how much fun and excitement this family was experiencing before the accident happened. The article did not say if the driver who caused the accident was drunk or on drugs. I wish people were more alert while on the road. Accidents like this are completely preventable. And now three people are no longer with us. +Shit happens. People die for no real reason all the time. It’s unfortunate for these people, but they’re not alone or special in their grief. Maybe if the ride was found to be mechanically defective they can sue and gets some money. Otherwise it’s just another sad story out of so many others like it in the world. +This really saddens me that people are so lost now a days. It never solves anything to hurt other people and this just shows a lack of judgement and remorse. It feels as though there had been a disconnect with humanity and we do not have the respect for each other that e once had. I hope that this person can find their way to a better path. +Hey, remember that eighties song "You Spin me Right Round" that people like to laugh about? The guy responsible for that just dies recently, he seemed like he was pretty interesting. I heard that he was on the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother, but I bet that show is just as boring as the American version. It's so interesting how the celebrity culture over there compares to over here. +I can't imagine the fear and anger that must be happening for these people to not only be attacked in this manner but to be in such a remote area that help cannot get you in a timely fashion. These senseless acts are obviously those of cowards that have no regard for human life and should be captured and dealt with harshly. There is not enough room in this world for people that would do this to others for any cause or religion. I hope that everyone that can be saved and cared for is able to get what they need in order to recover physically. I know that the emotional healing for all of them and their families will take much more time and help for these poor people that have had to endure such an atrocity. I can only hope we never see events such as this in my own family. +this is a very tricky story, Cook a 20-year-old business major with no criminal history, has seemingly been charged, tried, and convicted. there is a lot of evidence coming out to accuse him of sexual harassment and rape but he denies and calls it consensual acts of sex. His lawyer has asked that cook is not crucified on what is being said but by facts. +Thats pretty crazy that someone died in Jakarta. I don't even know what the whole issue was but just to think that just like that your life could be over. I get that politics is a pretty nasty sport but really when you think about it, it's quite different around the world then it is here. People think our current state of the nation is bad, can you just imagine being in some of these other countries where there seems to be nothing but endless political strife. I've even seen government members punch each other in meetings in some foreign governments. The world is such a crazy place. +rember when Kim Kardashian was attacked in Paris? I just read another famous person, Mallika Sherawat was tear gassed and beaten :( It is so sad you can not feel safe anywhere! I am glad she is outspoken and is bringing awareness to this whole ordeal. I feel so bad for all these people just minding their own business and being attacked. +A 22-year-old guy lost control of his Volkswagen and caused a head-on collision with a van. In addition to him and his passenger dying, a mother and two young children in the van were also killed. The van actually burst into flames. The teenage girl and her cousin in the van were the only ones able to escape. This is truly heartbreaking. I hope the impact killed them and they didn't have to suffer through the fire. +Lmao why has no one told me about this. This i\should be like public information from insurance companies but of course they are trying the most amount of money off of their customers . Us safe drivers are the reason why they are profitable in the first place, so they could do their part and give us discounts for our safe driving practices +Looks like India and Pakistani relations are going straight to hell. It is unclear if it was really sanctioned by their government, but Pakistan shelled across the border and killed 13 Indian civilians. Pakistan is saying India shelled them back and killed 6 of theirs. They are having some sort of dispute over their border and neither side really wishes to backdown. India claims they were destroying a terrorist encampment on the Pakistan side of the border, and Pakistan claims they bombed one of their military bases. The whole thing is a big mess and can't help the stability of the region. +Did you hear that 1 person died and 7 more were injured in Indonesia? It is pretty amazing how hearing about these things in other parts of the world don't surprise me but if they happened here where we live it would be very shocking and disturbing to hear about. I bet they were motivated by religion because over there they are very strict and kill people who don't agree with them. +Now a days for money people are doing anything, school children to make addict of porn websites and make porn video from them, i will tell one incident. The former elementary school volunteer accused of producing child pornography involving students as young as 9 has been indicted on two additional sex. The Guy Deonte Carraway, 23, of Glenarden, now faces a total of 15 federal counts of sexual exploitation of a minor to produce child pornography. The federal charges are separate from local charges that Carraway faces in Prince George’s County, where a local grand jury indicted him on 270 counts of sex crimes and child pornography involving 23 children as young as 9 years old. +I just read an article about some chowder-head who used a hammer and a pick ax to destroy Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Wow, what a great protest. You sure showed him. Good job. Lol, can you believe this garbage? Who has such a hollow and pathetic life that they don't have anything better to do with their time than commit petty vandalism because they dislike some politician? What a dingus. +The tweets attacked her personally, she explained in a blog post on Thursday, and celebrated the end of “Mockingbird.” “Mockingbird is canceled,” Cain had tweeted early last week. “But we need to make sure @Marvel makes room for more titles by women about women kicking ass.” She also tweeted out the cover of the last “Mockingbird” issue and encouraged followers to buy that issue and “send a message to @marvel that there’s room in comics for super her stories about grown-up women. +I think protests these days are getting out of hand. It's one thing if people want to protest peacefully, but it's another if they are damaging property and being aggressive and dangerous. I believe people should have a right to protest, but some laws must be in place. If you can't follow them there will need to be consequences. +What won’t people post? Some mom posted a picture on Instagram of her 2-day-old C-Section scar to remind people that it’s no picnic. I guess it’s an unsolicited public service message of sorts. She had some sort of tumor that made it necessary. She had the baby and that’s the god news. Surprisingly, she got about 1200 “likes” in total. I found myself wanting to out of sympathy. Who needs birth control with this kind of publicity? She says she loves her scar. Go figure… All in all, I think she’s happy it’s over. +The article talked about a person who took matters into their own hands where after their card was declined at Starbucks, he went back and ended up shooting a customer that was inside. This is the PRIME example of where there should be a serious look at our gun laws. Sure there is that second amendment that allows for the right to bear arms but look at how much our society has changed. Should that not be taken into account when thinking about the possibility that maybe not everyone should actually have that right? It's really sad how much our society has devolved into this constant chaos of shootings, violence, and terror. +The whole situation with Dr. Luke and Kesha got way out of hand. I feel so bad for Kesha because she simply became a victim of the music industry and lost her voice in the process. Dr. Luke should be ashamed of himself for treating Kesha so badly and trying to make her into something that she wasn't. I'm glad that she got the help that she needed and is making strides toward her own recovery. +I just read an article about the hate and racism in America since Donald Trump won the election. It talked about "countless acts of hate" beggining from day one of Trumps presidency. I thought the article was misleading. You cannot blame allready existing problems on a newly elected official. There was no facts or statisticis supporting the claims made in the article. +I can not believe that their is still such hate in the world. When I read stories like this I think about how we really need to come together and rid the world of such hate. All those times we talked about things like this happening all over the world really make you think about your own life and what we are doing to make a change/positive impact on the world. I think it is very sad to see lives wasted in this manner such as careless deaths that will get no one anywhere. I know that you have told me a lot of the same things, so I wanted to see how you felt about this too. +As someone who graduated with a STEM degree I know firsthand just how few women there are in the field. It's very sad, and it does indeed rob us of talent. All you have to do is look around to see how America is still a man-run country. The number of women in power is small, and women feel conflicted between what society says they should do and what they want to do. After all, many have aspirations besides raising kids. Who says that the 'house-mom' idea is right? The gender gap needs to close, and the wage gap. Women are not paid as much as men. That's a fact. +India just confirmed its participation in the Paris Climate Accord. I think it's great that the larger countries of the world are willing to step in and say that things need to change. I also really like that they made the announcement on Gandhi's birthday. I think that's a nice and respectful way to honor his legacy. +Educational videos can be helpful, but this seems rather silly to me. I would not consider applying make up on a train a pet peeve and I'm surprised it was on a list of complaints from other people. But we have to remember that this is a different culture as well so may be seen as something negative in Japan. I would agree on the issue of beauty that was mentioned in the article. It shouldn't be biased, only informative. +It is terrible that our political system is so dysfunctional that one man can cause so much harm arounf the world. The result of American ignorance will mean a great deal of pain in many lives, including those of our next-door neighbor. I wish we valued experts more such that we could introduce policies that help all people--which is quite possible. Diplomacy and politics are not a zero-sum game: there are no enemies unless we create them. All people have value and choosing knee-jerk hate will only harm us in the long run. +Hey. I just read an article about Somali refugees in America and I had many thoughts. I understand where these refugees are coming from. Having to leave their home and come to a foreign country where they don't know many people and having others not want you there. I understand that they had to leave their home country because of whatever issues the country was having but I wonder if these refugees could try a bit harder. It's hard to come here as an immigrant and I'm sure way more harder to come as a refugee but taking initiatives to push forward and somehow make it work would be the best thing possible. It did make me feel sad for them. I wondered if it's possible to give them more aid based on working or something to reward them for being a member of society. +It is very tragic to hear this news regarding the circumstances that many animals are facing in various zoos across the globe. It seems that human nature is causing these animals to be subjected to lives they shouldn't have to endure. If they were released into nature then maybe they would have a fighting chance but at the same time, most of them have been raised in the zoo perhaps so their "social skills" in nature may be quite the detriment as well. I just wish that some organization(s) could rescue them and take care of them the way they ought to be. No animal should really have to live in a zoo, to begin with, and now they are suffering from malnourishment and lack of care. It is tragic to read about this but it is the world in which we live. +I think it is really fucked up that people continue to mess with the environment. Corporations and these oil fuckers should stopped. They are damaging the environment to no end! Someone needs to sit down with CEOs and ask them, "Why do you want billions if you won't be able to enjoy it in the future when the environment is completely fucked?" Seriously, where is a CEO going to travel to enjoy his millions and stay at luxury resort villas when the environment is completely fucked? The luxury resort will be gone!! His wealth will end up amounting to nothing when he can't even enjoy it. His future children will have millions passed down but they won't fully enjoy it because the planet will be fucked! What the fuck? These people are morally fucking bankrupt, only bankrupt they'll ever know. +These poor people. I hope the researchers can find a way to help them. The thought that you can't even use the water that is deep in the ground due to arsenic contamination is horrible. This is a sign of the times, however, and I believe as populations grow, water is going to be a big commodity due to the scarcity of clean water. +I feel like the world is so corrupt that it no longer makes me feel anything. I expect the worst from this world and only am surprised when something exceedingly good happens. That is a shame that such a gruesome scene cannot even make me feel anything. The world is a cesspool and we no longer have any integrity to show for it. +the person that rented out the appartment i feel was in the wrong doing because they didnt own the place so when the damages came it he wasnt able to fix the problems making it the owners problem which led to them finding out and having to file the law suite for 20k to get there money back so it was a messy situtation +While reading this, I can't help but think about how much of politics nowadays is about money. How many millions of dollars is spent trying to convince people that someone is a good person and right for the job. It should be like any other position. Work hard. Do good. Build a resume you can be proud of and let that speak for itself! +It's always sad to hear someone losing their lives, especially during a terrible crash such as Yu Xu, who was the first woman to fly a Chinese fighter jet. It's even worse that it happened during a training mission, and not a real mission. I hope her family can find peace and that she can be remembered for her positivity and caring towards others. +I think it is crazy to think that the Zika virus is just going to disappear. I'm really worried about getting bit by an infected mosquito and then getting pregnant. I wouldn't want anything to happen to my baby. This person thinks that we should just put girls in a room with infected mosquito's and let them get bit. I don't think you can prevent immunity that way. I don't think this virus is just going to disappear. I think something has to be done to prevent it from infecting more people. It needs to be controlled. I think it is sad for those that have already gotten the virus. Something has to be done to help these poor people. +Once again, another group of innocent people negatively impacted by this buffoon and his horrific policies and his agenda. It still floors me that this immoral idiot is now the President of the United States. I've lost all respect for our government and the government "officials" who run our country. +How can anyone, in this day and age, still believe that climate change is not real? I imagine it's the same people who believe the earth is flat. We should be working towards clean and renewable energy but of course there are fights all across the way because people want to make money. Also replacing infrastructure is hard. But, that's not an excuse when you know that entire parts of the country might expand into a desert. This is especially true of North America. +Hello friend, I'm so glad I don't have a Wells Fargo account. I've hated this company for a long time. I've heard from friends that have an account there that they hated it. It's not surprising that Wells Fargo was opening fake accounts. Imagine the headache of having to deal with that on your credit report. Those customers should be compensated big time for this. Of course, nobody will be prosecuted. +I just read about Arnold Palmer dying. He was a fixture on Sunday afternoons watching golf. I really wish that he was still around, I will miss him out on the course. He has always been around since I was a kid, even when he quit playing he would be out there for the major championships. I think it will be different watching them without him around. He was a genuinely nice man. +It's no surprise that they're finally learning just how traumatic middle school can be--for everyone involved. Looking back, I can say that the person I was in middle school is almost like a stranger to me know. I was completely different before and after middle school, and during those three years themselves it was like I was someone I'd never met. God bless the mothers who stick with us throughout it all. +It's truly awful anytime some sick minded individual decides to take the life of others for literally no reason other than just to do it. Arcan Cetin was believed to be the one who shot up a maul and killed numerous people. It really is alarming at what goes wrong in these people's lives that makes them do such thing. +Oh man, I feel perturbed. Why do people have to keep suffering and dying so we can understand that strict gun control is necessary, who needs to die? How many people? This is just a sad and crazy story repeating itself, over and over again. We need to understand that as long as anyone can get a gun, nobody is safe. +This was terrible! I'm so glad that those guys got arrested. It's never okay to throw bottles at people, I don't care who you are or what the circumstances are. That poor kid almost died. I mean why? For nothing. Because of a stupid fan rivalry? What do you guys think? Agree or disagree? I can't see how you could take a different stance on it, but just for kicks and giggles. I mean I'm all for sports and stuff but if you get out of control and you hurt someone, that's on you. This is supposed to be fun. These games aren't supposed to be violent, and continued behavior along these lines could damage the reputation of the game, the fans, and the organization. I don't condone it at all and I don't think that you should either. So there you go, that's that. There you go. That's that. There. +I feel really bad for these orangutans. They must have been treated so bad to be in the condition they are in when they were found. Those things should never have been bought and trades and put in a domesticated situation. It's good that they're being taken care of. Hopefully they can recover and go back to where they came from. +This is going to sound insensitive, but this article was rather dry. And I just realized that that was a horrible pun. Anyways, this article is illustrating the harm of over pumping water sources in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It sounds like a really terrible situation, with arsenic being a terrible poison that's being pushed around by all of this negligence. You should read it. +Let's be real for a second - politics is and always has been a cruel and nasty game. These politicians throw insults at each other for months in order to win. That's what competition portrays itself as in politics. For this woman to suddenly become offended when she has thrown around plenty of insults herself is not just hypocritical, but also shows a lot of weakness on her part. I don't like her policies anyways! +So I read an article on Leon Russell passing away. I really do not listen to rock and roll music like that, but from the article you can just see how many people he has touched in his life in positive ways. There was even a quote from Elton John talking about how influential Russel was in his own life, and the impact he had on his stardom. +This man should be found guilty. There is no way he forgot that his son was in the car. The child would have been able to speak. He would have been in a front facing car seat. there is no way he didn't see him. He is guilty and he needs to be punished. He should be put in prison for life. This poor child suffered a great deal and this man needs to suffer. +Look at this nonsense. We can put dudes on the moon and videochat across the planet with anyone we like, but we STILL can't make containers for fuel that don't leak everywhere? You know that "Cui bono" thing I told you about? At this point I think someone (probably the environazis) benefit from this enough to keep doing it. How about we build pipelines for the oil? Oh right, environazis again, complete with the trash heap they left behind after their protest. +I wanted to write a bit to you regarding an article I just read about the Confederate Flag. Initially my feelings are a bit sadden by all the news and attention this situation is creating. I myself on the one hand would sympathize with those who are in support of the flag, like putting myself in their shoes. In matters of free choice, if it is their choice to want to display the flag, I support their right of free choice. I am also in sympathy with those that may find offense of the Confederate Flag. It may in fact open up old wounds, and bring back hurtful memories. However I fully support our President's view. President and Mr. Donald Trump feels that the Confederate Flag should be placed in a museum. That course of action is an intelligent response, for both sides of the issue. I agree. +I think it is exciting to learn about new ways to save money in my day to day life. I am thrilled to learn that there is a potentially far more cost effective way for me to live each day, which will put me on my way towards making my dreams come true. I am intrigued by the service and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into something that could be of great service down the road. +I just read the most disturbing article about Terry Jones -- that actor who used to be on Monty Python. Apparently he has a relatively serious form of dementia known as primary progressive aphasia which affects the ability to speak, recall words, and generally be able to communicate with people. So terribly sad. I can't even imagine how his family must feel. It would be terrible to watch someone you love slowly deteriorate like that,. +Wow, what an amazing story. I had no idea that the zika virus could cause such horrific developmental problems in children. As a parent of 2 myself, nothing scares me more than to think about all the horrible things that could happen to my kids in this world, and what I would do to prevent them from having to endure such things. What a terrible disease, and one that we know so little about and have essentially no real medicine type treatment for! I'm sure it's only a matter of time before this makes it's way closer to where I live! Scary! +This is a sad story. There is a Rhino Orphanage, but a beloved rhino just passed about. They tried so hard to save this rhino, and unfortunately the baby rhino named Thula is the area that this happened in. It never gets easier. The other rhinos here are being taken care of, but it was a great loss, and we all feel so bad about it. The name of the baby rhino was Isibindi, and she will be missed. +I just don't believe this article. It definitely seemed to lean towards a very liberal bias. I just have a tough time believing the numbers on this one. I would like to see where they got their figures. Unfortunately, I feel that everyone is just against Trump. It doesn't matter what he does!!! +I think its sick having these kids working. These kids should be playing and having an education. Why are they doing this? This just shows you how much people care about money. Its disgusting. Human beings are disgusting. I feel so ashamed. God will punish all of these people. We are just being controlled. Someone needs to put this to an end. I really hope these children get the life they deserve. This is why there is a lot of people suffering from depression because of these terrible things going on. +Hello there, I think this situation in Haiti needs our attention. It's clear that these people are suffering after such a catastrophe befell them. I urge you to donate and make a difference in these people's lives especially the children who are suffering and don't have anything to eat. Every dollar will count I think +I have never heard of any of the people mentioned in this article. I did not even know that there is a monarchy in Thailand. It sounds like the king that died recently was very well liked by the Thai people. Anyway, I hope that this lady heals quickly from her illness and that she has a prompt recovery. +I cannot stand Donald Trump and his fear mongering. Most Muslim people I know are very, very kind people. It is so unfortunate there are so many hate crimes because of the ignorance our President continues to blast on twitter. It's not just Muslims. It's everyone that is not part of the Alt-White movement. Jewish people, LBGTQ people. Black people. It is fueled by hate and ignorance. Trumps Muslim ban did more harm than good! He just caused fear, creating a deeper divide in our country. It's sad. +Honestly I do feel bad for him but at the same time you should not be taking a selfie around an animal that is clearly so dangerous. Pythons are really dangerous animals and I get that the man had rescued the reptile from a local hotel but even still, you need to have your eyes on that thing at all times. I feel like some people are not as responsible as they should be, and that goes for anything. People are too busy spending their life looking through the viewfinder of their smartphone camera and are so busy trying to document everything online in their desperate, never ending quest for more likes and followers that they are willing to put their personal safety on the line, and that's really sad and I think it really speaks to where we're going as a society as well, and it's frustrating. +This is old news, really. We all know Trump won...and no one really saw it coming. No one thought he could win, every step of the way...and yet he did. He's in office...he's messing things up...whatever. We can only hope Mueller does something and/or that someone else wins in 2020. I'm tired of hearing about it. +Isnt it crazy man that more and more sports legends are starting to pass away? Him and Jack were perhaps the most important icons in golf. Have you ever had an Arnold Palmer? It's a really good drink too. We should share a few Arnold Palmers later on today to honor the life of this great man. Should we hit a few rounds today as well? I mean I know you're a big gold fan, so I understand how this is upsetting you. I will send you more articles about him later on today so we can talk more about him. What do you think? Who do you think was better? Jack or Arnold? What about tiger? Either way, I hope you get this article and it helps lift your spirits a bit. I cannot really connect to the article since I am not a big golf person, but I still think we should honor the man. +hey guys as you can see here an elderly woman has come up and was taken tot he hospital by the police and they are requesting asistance trying to identify her and see who knows her if any of you have seen this woman or know any of her relatives or her name that would really ebhelpful in helping the police get her back with her family and reunite with them if you have any tips o nay sort pleas ome forward and csll the police +Reading about the sniper shooting the wolf was heartbreaking and anger inducing. I would have been very angry if i was the one tracking the wolf and found out the wolf i had been following had been killed by an irresponsible asshole. Wolves are a majestic animal and i believe the guy that shot the wolf should be brought up on charges +Hey I thought you'd be interested in this article I just read about the complications associated with contact lenses. I know you were considering allowing Mary to get contacts instead of her glasses this year. It seems that complications can range from microbial infections to complete blindness! Interestly, the CDC notes that there are less incidents with the disposable lenses. Have you considered them at all? +Trump should really not underestimate the blacks. They got complacent after two Obama terms, and didn't come out in force like they should have for the election. Now that Trump is in office, I don't think there's any way he can win the black vote, and that would definitely sway the election in 2020. I really think Trump's days are numbered, whether it's impeachment or defeat in the next election. +Friends and family, this is another tragic incident. This involves a troubled boy who was literally body slammed by a teacher. He then was rushed to the hospital but they could not do much for him even through all of their best efforts. In the end he had to have his leg removed. This is tragic and we should seek justice for this child! +How horrible! I don't care what crime anyone has committed, beating a person and then setting them on fire is detestable! I hope and pray that the authorities will be able to find out where this video originated from and bring the perpetrators to justice! It makes me sick that a human being could do that to another human! +this kind of stuff always makes me afraid to even go outside.If there is something to catch someone will just bring it to others and it is just something that is horrible and not what I would want to put onto others.It makes me afraid that it could spread and would make things worse for everyone and drive others to panic. +I understand why this is a problem but I don't see any reason to get upset over it. It seemed like they were writing about it with more emotion than the situation deserves. Trees die all the time. They're replaced by something else. It's extremely common. I get that it's worth given current climate conditions but still. +You mean you can't breathe in smog and pollution and walk away unscathed? Who knew?! This article states so much obviousness, that you would hope people were already aware of these issues. You have cancer? Well, you had better move away from that smog bowl you live in! India and China are both owners of some nasty smog infested cities. Not surprised. +Ha. Get him, snake! I'm so proud of that snake. If you don't want to be crushed by an angry python, maybe don't use the poor thing to do tricks for people. I mean, crushing the warm thing until it stops moving is kind of what giant snakes do. I hope they didn't kill the snake, poor baby. She was just defending herself, basically. +There is a bacteria outbreak in Wisconsin. Fever, chills, shortness of breath and has killed a few people. The problem is they do not understand or can't identify where the bug is coming from. Tap water or ground water is unlikely but they can't rule it out. Pretty scary. Its not a superbug in a sense that it does respond to some medicines. +This is something that the Geneva Convention would ban from use in warfare, as it is inhumane and immoral as a tactic. I am very saddened by the turmoil in the middle east. Often I think about how we got here and why it got so bad and blame the powerful and privileged countries, including mine, have caused these conflicts. It feels like it will never end, a hopeless situation. I feel powerless to help anyone over there myself, I can only vote here and hope for the best in the end. Maybe someday the people over there will be much safer and happier. +This article I just read is pretty disturbing. It's about a guy who was trying to warm up inside a hot spring that fell into one that was way too hot, and was basically boiled alive. It's sad, and apparently one of the people with him caught it on camera. The really disturbing part comes when the authorities couldn't get to the body because of how hot it was, and when they came back, they discovered that it had dissolved completely. That part creeped me out. +Hey, Measles is still killing kids around the world basically in the countries that don't take care of their people. The governments and terrorist organizations like Boko Haram don't care about kids. I gotta think this is just another example of pure evil, killing kids all the while the government takes aid, money, food, or whatever and keeps it for themselves or sells it to the people and puts them in servitude. God bless the USA! +I cannot believe what I'm reading. Details of that Wells Fargo new accounts scam, how the lowly bank tellers would make up accounts because they were paid so low and badgered so much that they felt obligated to cheat like this. For shame. I'm surprised these details didn't get really publicized when this thing was happening. +Man it crazy I just read an article about a disaster that struck Colatina, Brazil. The disaster struck when a dam ruptured and polluted the most important river in Brazil where people were getting their foods and surviving from what the river had to offer. Now it it polluted with mining waste because of the rupture of the dam. I feel really bad that they are in a position where they cant even eat the fish in the river because the fish showed some kind of mutation because of the pollution. It really sucks that a company just pays a minimal amount after causing a huge disaster like this totally unfair +Well, I totally understand the people to make a deliberate choice of not having children. It is such physically and emotionally charged task. I would say it is impossible to do it right. Infants, middle schoolers, high schoolers… It is not easy for kids to be kids, to depend on parents who are also struggle with their problems and issues. The issues of communication, balancing, keeping priorities are especially importance in the relationships with your middle school children: it is critical time to form your lifelong relationship with them and, probably, it is one of the most challenging period. +There was a person in the articles that was muslim and at a bar for nightly events. They got into a dispute with another person and then the other person killed them. The investigators said something about donald trump and his hatred toward muslim people maybe having something to do with making the murderer feel justified in his actions. +It's terrifying to think that suicide is becoming more common in younger and younger children. I can believe that it happens with teenagers, but it's starting to become more common in children and preteens too. I can't imagine the anguish you would feel to lose a young child to suicide. I can't imagine how you would move on from that. +See what I told ya! If kids are bored they will eventually be up to no good. Here is this man just minding his own business and he's attacked by a bunch of teens on bikes! The kid that threatened him with the bottle was probably just trying to show off to his friends. I mean, this did happen in Scotland but it could've been right in our backyards as well. I think we really need to rethink our commitment to the youth center. I firmly believe that when kids have a place to go and things to do, they are less inclined to get caught up in this kind of mischief! +What I learned is that one of the things I learned was Allah is with the patient people, that only Allah can protect a person, that Allah Is the best protector, Good and bad come from him alone, that we should depend on him for everything, that he will reward the believers who are suffering for having patience because Allah I always with the good people, I believe justice will be served on judgement day. +I can not believe the struggle that has to be. And for god sake, all of them are mostly arsons, well into the 70% range. I can't believe that at all. Seems a bit high but I guess people just have no respect for nature or other peoples lives. Having your house burn down in a wild fire has to be one of the worst things that coudl happen to someone. All your belongings, all those memories, the life you built and the family or friends you surroudned yourself with. Gone. Well hopefully not your family gone cause then you'd really be in trouble but your hosue at least and sentimental things. I hope that never happens to you. +It can be a hard experience to go through, but I feel that this was a good article about the conditions of Haiti. It's not in a very good state and has gone through some tough trials. The people are in need of support, supplies, resources, hope, and cooperation. The writing was very descriptive of what has happened and may come in the future. I think you'd find this interesting to read. +There is something very, very wrong with someone who thinks nothing of hurting a fellow human being. How heartless someone must also be to take the life of another human no one has the bloody right to take. And how rotten one must be to hurt an innocent animal that is without sin and any capability of purposely doing harm. +I'm not sure why this qualifies as news...I don't care about whatever is happening in Mariah Carey's life. I especially don't care about guys making other guys jealous....I feel for her ex boyfriend or husband or whatever, as it's not cool to purposely make an ex jealous. She could still meet him but I would do it away from cameras. +Things are really bad in Afghanistan right now - I just read an article about the latest. Refugees from European countries are being sent home to Afghanistan, only to see the turmoil first-hand. And there are problems with resources getting to the people who need them. So many displaced people in bad shape. I wish countries would get together and share resources and welcome immigration. If everyone had enough resources to live comfortably, things would surely improve. +A bus driver, going about doing his business, supporting the community, has had his life taken from him in what is a senseless and needless act." Taxi driver Aguek Nyok helped passengers escape. He was in the area meaning to get a haircut and kicked the bus door three times before managing to break it open. "All the people were at the back trying to get out of the bus but they couldn't get out the front because of the flames," he told the Courier-Mail newspaper. "They couldn't open the back door so I kicked it down and they all came running out. "It was one of the two: you get the people out or they're going to die." Mr Nyok said there were three children among the passengers. Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said it was "a very, very sad day for the council and the wider community". Flags +It is time to end this war and bring our troops home. We have been in Afghanistan for almost 18 years. That is insane. Our original purpose was to fight Al-Qaeda which we accomplished a long time ago. Then our goal was to kill Bin Laden, this was also accomplished a long time ago. This is a war with no end game. +These days, women are winning in sports. There has been so many instances of men prevailing in their sport that it is now time that women do the same. Sports have been men's things for so long and I am happy to see that there are women joining the ranks of these top athletes. I am so proud of my species and how we have come so far in equality. I love that there are more even playing grounds now. +How I wish some leaders were like Barrack Obama because some do not believe that global warming is happening.He has encouraged people to start protecting the environment to avoid global warming from harming us.Some countries have already signed up agreements that will help them like the paris agreement. +hello andrea I know it's only been 2 weeks since you went to japan but I hope it's good for you and that especially be very careful remember that it's a different country with a different ethnicity things are very different there I hope you take care of everything since There's a lot of prostitution away from the evils and you'll be a good friend until later +I think this is a terrible story to hear. For a family to be torn apart like that is just heart wrenching. It is such a tragedy for all involved to be lost due to a temporary lapse in judgment. I hope the father can come to grips with the situation and eventually find some kind of lasting peace, and be able to go on with his life after a loss of this magnitude. +I guess the Indigenous people get screwed again. Technology and progress is always messing with them. I'm kinda worried about the fishing I do. I fish a good bit and eat what I catch. I hope there isn't any methylmercury in the fish I eat. If there is, I wonder if it has messed me up some. That could be where some of my health problems come from. Maybe it's time to stop eating the fish I catch. +The thought of suffering from sleep paralysis is quite unnerving. It would seemingly be akin being a prisoner in one's own body. I would encourage anyone suffering from such issues to have such an issue investigated by a doctor. It is very fortunate that we live in a time where doctors can assist individuals with such issues, so people should really seek help. +i was reading about the war in Iraq. not gonna lie, i couldnt read it all. logically you know "war is hell" but all the details of it were too much for me. i tried, but reading of who's got a head head injury, who got gassed, it was too much. I flinch when i hear the words "suicide bomber" on the news, so reading about people being dragged into the city to be used as human sheilds was too much. I dont get it. how can people be so horrible to each other. bomb and attacks require calculated effort i just cant comprhend. +If you have gone through war, gone through hell, you should expect that when you come home to the country that you have been fighting to protect that they will take care of you in some way instead of throwing you out into the cold and basically tell you good luck. It is heartbreaking to know people out there are in poverty, but especially to know that our war veterans are treated this way. +I thought this was a pretty interesting article. I learned some things about Moldovan politics. It might be relevant to some of what you and I were talking about some time ago. In any case, it has some new facts that have come to light, as it were, new information or opinions that I had not fully considered prior to reading this article. +This is a sad state of affairs, but what do you expect from a country that is as corrupt as Russia. The ruling class has a stranglehold on the wealth and the average person gets next to nothing. The country is barely a step above a third world country in most parts, while the rich get richer and Putin profits. There is not that much difference now than in the 70's and 80's except now the corruption is out in the open and there are billionaires all over the place. +Another sad story. I am deeply sorry for the families of the innocent civilians that were killed but our United States army has to do what it has to do in order to protect our great country and keep us all safe as Americans. Living in those types of countries is a risk and sometimes innocent peoples lives have to be taken in order to keep us safe and protect our country. +For all the married couples out there, please think twice before you cheat on your beloved spouse. Is it really worth to throw away years of experiences down the drain just to have fun with a random stranger for a night? These celebrity scandals are such a joke, all the times I look on the news and these relationships barely last. +There is people starving and going without any food. Some of these people used to have jobs and ate well before they fell on bad times. They are suffering and going without basic nessicities. One mother went as far as trying to boil grass for her children to eat. I cant imagine lacking so much nutrition and suffering so bad +Hey friend did you check out this article. We should do our best to protect ourselves and our loved ones from Zika. I know that when my wife was pregnant I paid close attention to the news in order to be up to date with developments. It is really sad to see children being born with microphely. I really hope something will be done. +Wow talk about crazy. I know the situation in Africa was bad, but I just always feel it never gets better. You told me that you're visiting in a few weeks. Can you ensure me that you will be okay? I am worried about you and want to maker sure you're okay. Hopefully your missionary work will yield good results. Maybe I will read about you in an article in a few months helping over all. Anyways, I hope this reaches you. +It kind of worries me a little bit because sometimes I go through phases where I have a really hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. It's so weird. It happens or no reason and it last's for like 2 weeks and then all of a sudden stops and doesn't happen again for awhile. Sometimes I'm so tired and I really want to fall asleep but I just can't. I try everything, melatonin, warm milk, an eye mask and a fan or white noise but nothing works and then all of a sudden I'm fine again and no problems. +I was shocked at these statistics. temperatures are becoming dangerously high. the culprits is the fossil fuel industries. we need to hold them accountable, the government has failed, But how can we have faith in our governments to take this action when they continue to hand nearly hundreds of billions of dollars in government subsidies to the coal, gas, and oil industries? Ending these subsidies would be a giant step towards solving the climate crisis saving giga onnes of carbon dioxide emissions, and helping make clean energy cheaper than fossil fuels, we need to do something and do it now +A Cincinnati Zoo had improper safety regulations which led to a 3 year old boy falling into a Gorilla pit. This was the Harambe thing everyone was talking about years ago. They ended up shooting the Gorilla in an attempt to prevent the child from getting hurt, but there was a lot of uproar over whether it was necessary or not. It's a happy ending for the kid but I really wish both lived. +I read an article about making the ivory trade legal, and it said it could cause the extinction of elephants. I find it extremely disturbing, since I can't imagine elephants being extinct. It makes me really angry that poachers are able to kill so many elephants, and that even if it's legal to trade ivory, the demand is still really high. I think finding a substitute for ivory is a better choice. No one actually needs ivory, and keeping it illegal seems like a better idea. +I think we should just leave them where they are. They're not causing any problems. They're too dangerous and too costly to try to move. There hasn't been great reports of them starving. They should be fine to roam around there for now. We don't want to waste tax dollars to try to deal with a dangerous situation. +Apparently the giant albatross is being destroyed by giant mice that have overrun one of their main breeding islands. I don't exactly understand how, but the parents haven't learned that the mice are a threat and just sit there and watch them eat the babies. Seeing as how they are meat eaters you'd think the mice would provide an easy snack. +I agree with this article completely. I used to take the pill for awhile and it did change my moods and make me feel weird and just off. So I switched to the depo shot and same thing. It made me feel super depressed and also made me gain a lot of weight. I have had some kind of bad side effect with every birth control I've ever tried. I refuse to take any form of birth control now except for condoms and I track my cycle so I know when I'm fertile. +What I have learned from Aghanistan is that they are really the source of corruption in the middle east. Afghanistan went through bad conditions in the last three decades but in the new government of HAMID KARZAI from 2000 it's started developing again many reconstruction and other works can be seen.It's going to take a lot of work though. +Hello, I thought this behavior was a thing of the past, but read this article, it is rather enlightening. I often think here in the US there is a great divide on how racial issues are dealt with, and the US is not the only one. There are many racial problems in other countries and that makes me feel hopeless for the future. If we can't fix the issues here in America, how can we critizice other countries? +just another fucked up mental sickness of american police against its black residents, I honestly have no idea why they have to be so sensitive with their fucking guns, they shoot people as if people can respawn after being shot or something, police should think twice before taking out people's lives with no legitimate reason, I guess it's good that police have body cam, so the public can see what shame they are brining upon themselves +This is sad and such a strange case. I don't know who to side on. While it would have been good to stop the boat to look it also might not have mattered depending on where he fell into the water. I don't really care about them being gay or the fact that they say they were harassed that shouldn't matter in the case anyway. +A Russian fighter jet crashed into the Mediterranean Sea as it attempted to land on an aircraft carrier. The pilot safely ejected from the aircraft. Many Russian naval vessels are not off the coast of Syria in Russia's support of the Syrian government. Many Britains are concerned over Russian warships traveling through British waters. But Russia says its focus is about maintaining and safeguarding it's maritime economic activity and responding to new kinds of piracy and international terrorism. +As it turns out, male models do not make as much as their female counterparts. I was not aware this was the case. The reasoning seems to be that male models have a longer career, whereas women are considered going downward after thirty. The gap in pay between them is quite high. Some people are doing their best to split the wages more fairly, but it appears to be the default to pay women more in this industry. I think more men are paying attention to their grooming habits. I hope that men will earn more fair wages in the future. +so Trump's guy of SCOTUS is anti LGBTQ. he's so far off the mark its insane. wants to outlaw gay sex basically. like, WHO is gonna enforce what happens in someones bedroom? I cant with this adminstration anymore. where will it end? just let people love who they want... crazy homophobes are gonna make america a whole new version of hell +How can they do this to these people? Did you see this? How can you move people who were fleeing war and violence to another place after they had already settled there? It's unbelievable, I feel so sorry for these people, and someone needs to step in and help them stay where they are currently comfortable. +I just read an article that the U.N. reports that ISIS has executed over 200 people near the Iraqi city of Mosul and is using thousands of people as human shields. The Iraqi forces are advancing against them and as a result, ISIS carried out mass killings, punishing people who had defied its orders. They are even forcing women to wear gloves to completely cover themselves, and accusing anyone who has even a cell phone of being a spy. It seems they are growing increasingly desperate and determined to take the lives and freedom of everyone in their path without regard to civility or even basic humanity. This scourge must be stopped, it is so heartbreaking to read about these victims! +The article also good.but some times also said medical teams were examining the bodies and trying to determine their identities. “The investigation is just beginning,” he said. The Iraqi Joint Command issued a brief statement condemning the Islamic State. “Gangs of ISIS militants continue to commit crimes against our people,” the military said. Fighters from the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, have held the city of Mosul and surrounding towns and villages for more than two years. +You know how you were having trouble sleeping? Here, read about people who have tinnitus - it'll put you to sleep. I feel like more should be done to help the seven percent who say their tinnitus is a big problem for them, though. That's the same as any other psychiatric complaint, right? If it's affecting your life so that you can't function normally, there should be some kind of help for you +Did you hear what is happening in Aleppo? Residents are being texted (apparently from their government) to evacuate their homes in preparation of the city being bombed! It’s just terrible what those people have to endure. I feel so bad for them. Their country is already so war torn, and they are almost out of food. 2 pounds of meat costs $40. I can’t even begin to imagine what these people are going through. If it we here, happening to our families, I would be so scared. +I was reading where Chicago, Illinois has an incredible problem with lead in their public drinking fountains. This problem is all over in public buildings, parks and even in homes where lead pipes are still in existence. This is a problem that can have both immediate and long-range problems for adults and children in the city. Children growing up drinking this polluted water can have many health problems including learning disabilities, behavioral problems and a variety of diseases. The homeless are also prone to having problems because they rely on public drinking fountains every day. +There was this little boy found dead down a well somewhere in China. He fell down there well helping his father harvest, I guess on a farm they own. What kind of weird is that they weren't able to get him out till four days later; not really sure why they couldn't get him out sooner...could have saved his life. Maybe they just didn't have enough resources...sad...very sad... +I think it's well known what the CIA has been doing through it's torture programs of suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. Dr. Rosecrans a leading psychiatrist for the Navy was immersed in treating these patients. She worked there for almost fifteen years and had difficulty helping out these traumatized victims after their incarceration. +Looks like a lot of muslim hate crimes are going on, especially in new york city. A lady had her clothes set on fire right in public. People yelling "get out of America" at them, etc. I can understand people's animosity towards them as their religious people essentially declared war on us, but not everyone is that extreme. +Tensing was later fired. Tensing, 26, testified he feared he was going to be killed. Prosecutors said repeatedly the evidence contradicted Tensing’s story. Judge Megan Shanahan said Saturday that the jury of 10 whites and two blacks spent more two hours deliberating Saturday morning after getting a night’s sleep and still could not reach a decision. “It’s obvious to me you have made a sincere and conscientious effort,” the judge said before setting a new hearing date for Nov. 28 to determine whether the case will re-tried. County prosecutor Joe Deters said he’ll decide within the next two weeks whether to try the case again. Attorney Al Gerhardstein, who represents the DuBose family, said they want another trial and can’t understand why the jury couldn’t reach a conclusion. “With the video +Can you believe this article? The more I read this article the more disgusted I got with what had been done to this kitten. This is a awful story that deserves to be heard by more people to make sure that the the kitten receives justice, and that the person who did this is not allowed to hurt any more animals. I think it is a great thing that this person is not allowing for someone to get away with this and making sure that others will stand with him and not allow this crime to go unpunished. I think it would be great if you could share this story and let others know so something like this can be stopped in the future. +I think the wraparound glasses are a great idea. I don't care how ridiculous they look. If I had to choose whether or not my kid was worried about fashion or protecting his eyes, eye protection would win every time. Ugh, can you imagine the possibility of losing your eyesight, or possibly even the whole eye, just because you didn't want to look silly? Nope, wraparound glasses all the way! +This is no surprise. As with every year before it for the past couple decades, this was the hottest year on record. I do not know how so many people can take irrefutable scientific evidence like this and still not only question, but outright deny that global warming is happening. It makes me angry that we are killing this planet and there are so many people that are simply too stupid too admit it is happening and fix it. +I think it is important to ensure safe drivers on our roads, for our family’s sake. I believe that the rate of accidents on American roads is far higher than acceptable. I believe there should be more restrictive driving requirements and testing, as well as harsher punishments for drivers who do not respect the riles of the road. +If he is not responsible for the killings, it would be baffling as to why he would attack the officers. If it turns out that he was responsible for these killings, it is good that he can no longer harm anyone else. It must be a nerve-wracking job to be a police officer, knowing that at any moment someone could attack you for no good reason. +Wow - what a lucky cop!! I can't believe he was able to stop that guy. The community is much better off without him. As fascinating as I find true crime, I really don't understand the impulse of some people to kill. It's crazy. I can't believe the damage that guy caused. Luckily, he was stopped!! +I think issues like basic income, universal healthcare, and right to assisted dying are way more important. My interest in being fit or healthy is the reduction of painful symptoms. When I eat sugar, carbs, and enriched flour foods, my legs hurt, my back hurts, my stomach digestion goes very bad, and I get heartburn. For me, it's not so much about being fat or not, it's about reducing pain. +I personally don't agree with science making these kinds of decisions. Maybe, just maybe, a higher power didn't want these people to reproduce? How do we know that these methods don't permanently change something in the DNA that helps guarantee that a serial killer is born four of five generations down the line. How do we know? There have been no studies. I would guess by this article that since boys that are born using this method also have low sperm counts, that something, or someone, somewhere, is trying to tell them something. +It's shocking how little people care about this and how little Africa gets mentioned in the news. This is horrific when you think about the number of victims and the people who are harmed. I wish people could focus on this. It's ridiculous that people are getting away with this and it is a huge crisis on the level of other genocides in history. +I just can't imagine forcing a child any child let alone your child into such sick sexual acts. I'm a firm believer of every family is different but something like this is appalling in my opinion. And there should never be any grounds of acceptance for such behavior. I commend the victim of these acts, that she was strong and spoke up against her parents. I can't imagine how she felt or how she coped going through such an ordeal. I'm happy that she was able to tell her story and maybe so no one else has to go through it. +This is horrible. Too have a disaster like this happen is sad. Other nations should do what we can in order to help. You never know when we may need the help for other countries. We know as a country how hard it is to loss everything to a natural disaster. All the lives lost it is best practice to help out. +I'm not sure how to feel about animals that are considered as abused when being used for entertainment purposes. It gives us the opportunity to learn and see them up close but at the same time its hard to handle the fact that these animals might be feeling pain. I mean imagine being captive by monkeys your whole life so they can introduce them to humans. Would be sad. +I saw a story about Yemen today. Have you read about it. It looks like ethnic cleansing over there. It is so awful hearing about innocent people being killed just because of where they are from. It's like Nazi Germany in some parts of the world. It is very scary to me. Nobody is really doing anything but making proclamations. Rights groups can't seem to do anything either. I wish these evil people would stop doing this. +What a rare occurrence to have that mutation come up for both parents. I feel very bad for Nicholas and his family. Thankfully they are able to afford the treatments that Nicholas would need almost his entire life. I feel bad for the family who aren't able to afford such treatments for their own kids. +So, I just read an article that I have absolutely no interest in. It was a bunch of gossip about Val Kilmer's health, as if that is newsworthy. I'm not even sure why I read the whole thing. I gained nothing in the way of knowledge by reading this article. What a waste of time! People really should learn how to mind their own business. +You should read this article on climate change. It's incredibly fascinating. Climate change is happening and it's really scary. Humans are causing it. It will soon be a major problem for us all. It affects all life on earth, not just people. Biodiversity has been affected and has gone down. Temperatures are changing for the worse. It's simply awful. +This article says that, A deeper look inside Wells Fargo's shameful vault — People my kids' age, who track their money by smartphone, wonder why garish competing bank branches still stud every shopping district in Philadelphia and the suburbs. Now we know: Behind the lollipops and the barred cages where the tellers sit, perverse incentives at many banks turn branches into, not just stores, but sweatshops, pushing products customers don't need and may not have ordered, thanks to admissions by Wells Fargo Bank, the dominant lender around Philadelphia, and veteran bankers. Facing outrage, Wells Fargo has belatedly stalled tens of millions of dollars in stock awards to two top executives after admitting it fired 5,300 low-paid workers over five years for opening phony accounts. +this is all about politics it talks about the like of Janet Reno, first female US attorney general who dies at 78 — anet Reno, former US attorney general under President Bill Clinton, died Monday morning following a long battle with Parkinson's disease, her sister Maggy Hurchalla said. She was 78. Reno, the nation's first-ever female attorney general, served in the Clinton White House from 1993 to 2001 +This breaks my heart. I mean, I know there's trouble everywhere, but these people have absolutely no hope, and the United States caused this, so we share responsibility. I'm going to look around and see which refugee organizations are trying to help, and gather donation information. Are you in? I'll see if Alan wants to bring this up at church, too. +Take a look at this guy! What a flip flopper!! He seems to endorse whoever is popular at the time - Trump or Obama. I also hate his only tactic for arguing against his opponent, drawing on his personal life. Instead of highlighting his policies, he’s trying to win on popularity. I would never, ever vote for this guy! +I am at shock for what I have just read. First of all I would need a lot of time to reflect on what just transpired in the article I read. Please when you read this try not to get too sad about it because it will get you sad. Just try to find someone you love and hold onto them because we should not take for granted what we have. +I just read about a tragic 10 story building collapse in a town called Kisii. I'm distressed about this news because they're still searching for survivors. There's been a report that 9 are still missing. I hope they're able to find these unfortunate victims. It was horrifying reading about the accounts because people could be heard screaming and shouting for help. I'm hopeful that they can help find any remaining survivors. This is such an unfortunate event. The cause was due to bad building construction as the developers have cowardly gone into hiding. Experts said a recent drilling underneath the building triggered the collapse. This is horrible to hear. Could you imagine if this happened to the office building we worked out? Such awful and careless planning resulting in lost lives. +I think this world is full of hate and i don't understand it. Why do they hate us? Why are they killing innocent people?And Donald trump isn't going to make anything better. He shows people hate and we might have even more terrosist coming to America. America should show people how to love. America acts like the victim but we have fault as well. There is no country that is right or wrong we are all human and we are all imperfect. The only king we should listen to is God. A lot of these presidents and kings of our countries think there god. We should humble ourselves and just love. Put ourselves in other peoples shoes. +this is an incredibly one sided article. not sure how they are even allowed to publish stuff like this. It is amazing they had to reference black lives matter, and all of sudden this guy was an upstanding citizen. There is always a reason an office pulls the trigger. Sometimes, it is an accident, but more often that not, it is not. Hopefully they will publish the toxicology report. Won't hold my breath though. +Hey, Billie bob Thorton says Angelina Jolie was never good enough for him. He is older but she was younger, I guess he had no control over her at all. He stats that Angelina had a high stakes and fast lifestyle, even made him wear viles of blood around their necks. I guess her saw her as coo koo and a tad bit crazy or or something. Maybe he had to get away from her hectic lifestyle. +The wildlife park offers their help after over half a million supporters signed a petition made by the non-profit organization Animals Asia to demand the closure of the aquarium. If the current owners of the polar bear agree to this offer, Pizza could be moved to a proper sanctuary and his life of misery would end. “The good news now for Grandview is that they now have the chance to put their mistake right,” Dave Neale, Animal Welfare Director for Animals Asia, said in a statement. “Thanks to this incredible offer from Yorkshire Wildlife Park there can be a happy ending and the negative publicity they have suffered can yet be turned into a positive news story. From talking to them I know they know that mistakes have been made in terms of their animal facilities and on-going care.” China’s +Those poor people! I can't believe the government is seriously considering leveling 783 houses! And especially ones that have historical value! There are other ways to increase your air travel options and industry without doing damage to so many people's lives! I feel awful for those people and, if I were them, I'd fight back too! +It's one thing to kill another person with a motive. But who kills horses and animals?! They are completely innocent creatures. God we have used and abused these animals for centuries. I have no idea what kind of motive this killer has. These horses deserve so much more. It's almost worse than murder in my opinion. I really hope this guy gets caught. +Victim Amanda divulged her horrific experience, including her parents making her pose for explicit photographs and videotaping their sexual encounters with a view to sell them online.f I could take it all back I would. I hate myself for what I did," she added, along with claims that Amanda's father made her "join him" in abusing their daughter. She suggested it was all her then-husband's idea and that she had initially fought him for three months, but eventually "gave in". +I saw a horrible story about a turtle on line today. A man took a hammer and beat a large turtle to death . He broke the shell on it's back and crushed it's head with the hammer. I hope they give that vile excuse for a human being the maximum sentence. I love turtles. They are so unique and cool to watch. I have a creek in my back yard and I see them all the time and they do not bite. I can't stand animal abuse. It makes me sick. +I read an article today that was discussing the problems with Sudan in Africa. The article was kind of hard to follow, but it seems like there is a lot of political and peace keeping discourse there. I really feel terrible for all the innocent people that are caught up in silly power plays and government issues. People's lives are being ruined and destroyed every day. +So, I just read this article about a series of bombing in New York and New Jersey and how these acts are being viewed as an act of terrorism. Sometimes I still cannot believe that we lived through 9/11, especially because before that I had never even heard the word terrorism or knew what a terrorist attack was. And now, we live in a world where we are constantly hearing about possible terror attacks or terrorists regularly on the news. It just makes me absolutely sick that this is the world I am raising my kids in and that we have to live in fear of someone trying to kill us or setting up bombs to surprise attack people. The fact that we cannot live a carefree life anymore because of the sick minds of individuals scares me daily and makes me wish I could keep my kids in a bubble!!! +This is a big price for reality shows featuring filthy rich people who care more about being seen than being safe. I'm sorry, I can't feel too bad for Kardashian West for being robbed, with so much tempting loot around. It must have been frightening for her to be tied up, but if I were that rich, I certainly would not flaunt it. +How to deal with that burning question of what is murder before birth and what isn't? Is it murder because it was against your will? Maybe that is how it should be determined if you walk into an abortion clinic you're willingly killing the fetus versus someone shooting you and your fetus is now unwillingly dead because it wasn't your choice? +Wow, a teacher get pregnant after having sex numerous times with an 8th grader pleads guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child. This is unreal and aggravates me that teachers would do this and children would go along with it. The world needs to worry less about wants, quit being emotionally and physically weak and focus on needs, not wants. This whole story iis pathetic and all involved have ruined their own lives and for what, pleasure? They're all weak. +Bullying is such a serious issue. It has been going on for so long. It is so sad that these young people have to take their life because they think there is no end in sight. What we need to do along with providing therapy for those that are bullied is to increase the consequences for those who are bullying others. This may have happened in Europe but in America teachers know this bullying is going on and they tend to protect the football players and other jocks. It is really sad. I hope you have never been bullied. I was and it was terrible. +Obesity is an epidemic in today's society. Almost one in three people are obese. Sometimes I wonder how we got here. People these days take no responsibility for themselves and their actions. The cost of care has increased tremendously from the obesity epidemic in this country. According to the most current statistics, over fifteen million Americans can be classified as extremely obese. +Did you see all of that stuff going on over in Syria and how Donald Trump in working with the Russian president to missile strike the people over there? Man, they really have it pretty bad with all of the stuff going on. I feel really bad for the people who are living there that really don't want any part of what is going on. Could you imagine having dinner and a missile comes flying over your house? I am definitely glad I live where I live. +Kylie Jenner pretending like she cares about other people. She makes a transparent marketing move to promote her own product by making up reasons other companies products are bad. It's disingenuous faux concern and anyone who reads it should see through the crap. It is disgusting and she should just advertise like a decent human being would. +You know I have no sympathy for anyone who harms an animal. I'm a huge animal rights advocate and I think those who are cruel to animals deserve very strict punishment. The officer involved should be charged with a crime and fired from their job. I hate it when people hurt defenseless animals and this particular crime did not have to happen! When this happens with children being left in hot cars, there are serious charges leveled and so, there should be the same in this case! +I'm not sure what the gay community hoped to accomplish by holding a gay pride event in a country where homosexuality is illegal. It's not like people there ignore such a law, since someone was powerful enough to criminalize sexual preference in the first place. I think I would rather stay under the radar until I could find a more tolerant place to live. +Since many of you guys are at the age of having children, I thought this would be something that is important to share. There is a virus called CMV I just read about that is causing devastating consequences in newborns. These children are being born with brain problems, hearing problems, and learning problems because the mothers aren't being told how to prevent it. Make sure that you wash your hands after being around toddlers, especially if you're pregnant! +Hey Jax, I thought this was a interesting article that you might be interested in reading. It definitely piqued my interest. I thought it relates to your situation that you are dealing with at the moment. Let me know what you think of the video as well. I might show this to Jackie too and see if what she thinks of it. +Our country is really at a place right now where its going the wrong direction of what an ideal society should be and how a lot people are worried about the future as well. This has clearly been shown with the spike of suicide hotline and crisis calls. We need to create a more positive and acceptable society in order for every person to feel appreciated on a daily basis. As well as we should be taking care of the environment to minimize all these environmental effects such as massive disastrous like hurricanes cause by human abusing the environment. +This is a crazy story with so many facets to it, omg. I mean on one hand, I don't support an eye for an eye. I don't support the death penalty and I don't support blinding someone. BUT on the other hand, this is a country where women really struggle and the justice system is not well developed. ALSO, he blinded a FOUR YEAR OLD GIRL. What the fuck is wrong with this guy. So if this was in America I would not support it, but I don't feel right condemning the actions of an entirely different country for doing what they felt needed to be done. +Its crazy that really intense and sad situations are happening around the world but here in USA were worried more about who made it passed the first round of the Voice or whats the latest viral videos. The fact the extremists are using innocent civilians as human shields is so cowardly and shows they have no honor what so ever. +As frustrating as it might be for the overflow of goldfish thriving in wildlife, I am very curious to see a four-pound goldfish. Could you imagine? The pettiness inside me kind of smirks at the growing population of them. There is nothing to blame for the existing and gaining population of goldfish, except for ourselves. I mean their very existence is because people wanted more appealing fish for their gardens and maybe aquariums too. Then they were bred and still are bred for trinkets and given away as promotional items. So I feel we as people have no right to glare at the survival of the discarded lives that were no longer wanted. I say,'You go goldfish! Live your best lives!' +Cricket players in England are likely going to have trouble sleeping after a 4th day of the first Test. Being in their shoes, playing hard and working together is the key to beating Bangladesh and they need to stay on top of their game in order to win. While it's physically demanding, giving up or blaming lack of sleep is simply not an option for the team. +This is really sick and disturbing don't you think? These soccer hooligans got all rowdy and worked up and when they were acting out like idiots they hit an eleven-year-old child in the head with a bottle. Poor kid had a big gash and had to go to the hospital and everything. That's pretty sad and pathetic, even though they probably didn't really mean to do it. +How sad, if you get a chance read this and maybe share, it could be the difference for this person to find her family! Sometimes I see these announcements and I usually read and share them, I hope they find who she is and most importanly I hope they find her family and get her some help. I think the more people see, read and share this info, the bigger the chance to find her identity and family, imagine if it was someone you knew. +I am so tired of hearing about this stuff, it's so fake. Trump is just a fake conservative, the same way that all of the liberals are fake liberals. Trump is far from a KKK icon, he's actually a Jew and a huge supporter of Zionism/Israel- this should make him a huge enemy of the KKK but instead it's all fake, orchestrated BS to keep us totally distracted from what's really up. +Every time I hear something about ISIS, I can't help but think about the role the US played in its creation and the horrors that have come from the vacuum of power in the region. I'm thankful to be American when I read something like this, but also ashamed at the same time in who we've chosen to represent us, not just now, but over the past 30 years. +I just read this article about the NODAPL protest movement that had a ridiculous headline. It is like they want people to have a negative opinion about this issue, so they subtly frame it in a certain way. "Empty your bank account" to make a donation in support is a very negative way of putting things, almost like psychological priming. Anyway, I wonder how the pipeline protest movement is going to continue under Trump. +It's always a bad thing when the murder rate increases. The fact that it had the highest increase in decades is incredibly disturbing, although it's important to remember that the overall rate is still much lower than it has been in the past. People think that things are more dangerous than ever today, but the facts show that's not true. +It's hard to imagine the life of people who left everything they had – of course, many of them had already lost most of what they had – and started impossibly long and complicated journeys to secure a better life for themselves and their family. Imagine having nothing but the clothes on your back, not knowing where your next meal is going to come from, but still hoping for a chance to rebuild your life. It’s heart breaking. +hey i just wanted to let you know that this is a rough article. the guy took him out and then took his own life. its pretty sad. the guy knew the employees schedule too so he just could have done it whenever. why would he do it and take his own life though i dont understand. anyways wanted to let you know i did read it and its tragic. i feel bad for the family that it happened to them. hopefully this doesnt happen much more +I found this article and thought you might be interested in it. This is so sad and disgusting. Gun violence really must be stopped in this country and it's hurting innocent people and even unborn people around this country. I think there might be a die in we can participate in happening this week if you can come. +I just read an article about wild fires sending a smokey haze across the state near the Appalachian mountains. Can you imagine how big the fire must be to spread so far and wide? And the people in the area obviously suffer the most. What if you have asthma or some other condition that restricts your breathing? +So tragic and sad that this police officer was just doing his job and now he's gone and his family is left to grieve his loss. I hope they figure out who did this and serve justice to the fullest extent. It sounds like it could be one of the people they found dead, though. I guess we'll find out later. +hey whats going on Jacob? I want to tell vent out something I read in this article. There was a Saudi-led coalition that is backed by the US, they had led an attack in Yemen, that had killed around 43 people. This is sad to hear so much killing in this world. According to what I read this happened because they are trying to take someone out of power and they are trying to bring in a new leader, I think his name is Abed Rabbo Mansour. The USA wants to put him in there. Also they are more people dying from the long conflict, people are starving and also Planes had attacked a funeral place and they had killed people there as well. All this necessary killing is not good for this word. This is really, really bad that we need war to solve problems. +Here is another interesting story but this one is about squrriels and leprosy. In the UK they found that red squrriels are getting leprosy and that never happened before. The article also mentions that Armadillos get leprosy also which I didn't know. I always thought it was a disease that only affected humans and mostly in biblical times although I guess it is not an issue now just because we learned how to top it from spreading. +The whole situation with Iraq and the uprising of ISIS can be attributed to the U.S. War on Terror and failed attempts at establishing democracy in the Middle East. The truth of the matter is, the G.W. Bush administration had no idea what they were doing when they decided to invade Iraq under the pretense of ridding Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction: Iraq had none, and we destroyed the Iraqi way of life over this lie. Iraqis may have suffered under Saddam Hussein, but at the very least, the region was stable and extremists were rare. After the American invasion, civilian deaths likely skyrocketed because law and order were thrown out as well. +It saddens and scares me that people don't see terrorists for what they are: radicalized individuals who have gone rogue. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people who just want to live their lives and practice their faith. This country needs to be educated on other cultures so we stop fearing the unknown. Building more walls and dividers between different groups of people won't help anything. +I can't really believe he was found dead in ol' Strombolo's condo. He wasn't anywhere near old enough to die of natural causes so it should be at least a little surprising when we hear about what the cause of death was. I am intrigued to find out if we have another Hollywood murder on our hands. You just can't tell anymore these days. you never know who, you never know when. +There are a lot of older people in Russia who survived the Second World War who are now trying their best to survive. Many estimates say that there are a lot of people in Russia who survived only on $4.50 a day. With this little money they do not have the luxury of going out to eat. Also when living on so little money it is dangerous because of Health Care problems. If one has to have surgery or even get expensive medication it can be a real setback to their life style. I hope the Russian economy becomes better enough to support it's elderly and everyone else in the country. +What a freaking asshole! Guys are so creepy sometimes. and in our own home state. I wonder who he gave them to to release them out to the public. Anyway, please be careful with your photos and information. I've been seeing more and more accounts like this popping up, and I would hate to see any of our sensitive data at risk. stay safe out there. +That is just crazy that a person waiting on his surfboard was attacked by a shark. That must have been pretty scary. I am glad that he didn't lose a leg or anything, but still, that would have been very scary. All of the sudden, boom, you are hit by a shark. I don't think I would want to go to that place again to surf if I was a surfer. I think people need to be cautious when surfing. I don't think it is really our place to force sharks away, as they live in the water. I think people just need to be smart and surf where there is a very low chance of being attacked by a shark. +Hey did you check out the latest dram between Scottie Pippen and his wife Larsa? Maybe it is dumb but I care about these thing because I am from Chicago. I have been hearing the name Scottie Pippen on a regular basis for the last 25 years and it kind of makes you feel interested in that person's life. I know fi this was about Michael Jordan I would feel the same way. +Oh, but global warming isn't real, right? We have all kinds of time to fix the problem, right? It's not humans, it's natural variation, right? Holy crap are we ever ostriches as a species - are we going to dig our heads out of the sand in time? Change has to happen, and it has to happen now, we can't wait for all the old white men who run things to die +Though all people who flee conflict can be called refugees, refugee agencies commonly distinguish between refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) to decide who is covered by international law and receives assistance and who doesn't. For the most part, little assistance reaches a person fleeing a conflict until he or she crosses an international border. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), established in 1950, distinguishes refugees and IDPs this way: "When a fleeing civilian crosses an international frontier, he or she becomes a refugee and as such is eligible to receive international protection and help. If a person in similar circumstances is displaced within his or her home country and becomes an internally displaced person, then assistance and protection +I just thought you would want to know my opinion on this. We've never really talked much about it. I feel like refugees from Syria should be given a free shot here in America. We have been over there messing with their country. We have engaged in war, both indirectly and directly. We have been wavering in our responsibilities there. To Be able to simply sit back here on our haunches in America Judging people who are fleeing for their lives..definately partially because of our actions, is wrong. They should be welcomed here. They shouldn't be treated as terrorists. It is important that poor people who are suffering should be welcomed here. These are people who would be glad to be given a shot, they would work hard. They are family people, hard workers, many of them are talented a +Yeah so global warming is really messing with the polar bear and the glaciers, if the earth continues to melt and the glaciers continue to melt then we could be looking at the extension of the polar bear, the disappearance of our glacier and mass ma flooding. Luckily they eat a lot of people keeping a close eye the sea levels and working on how to slow the warming of our planet. +Reading this was infuriating to me. To see such casual disregard for life, both of the animals and those protecting them, in pursuit of money. And for what? Snake oil cures in Asia, superstitious nonsense, and rich people wanting to feel powerful. The security teams seem like they're in an impossible position, restrained by rules while their opponents have none. It's a miserable situation +I know a lot of people refuse to believe the facts about climate change and some really don't care because they don't see how the problem directly affects them, but all you coffee addicts out there are going to cry a little shallow tear when your favorite cup-of-Joe goes extinct. The increase of the planet's temperature is adversely affecting coffee growth in areas where the plants have always thrived. Funny (not really at all funny), but more people will worry about their brand of coffee going extinct than about animal and plant species being constantly wiped out for good. +Hi N. Just wanting to talk to somebody and you as always you are the right person to reach to. I just read an article on the Matthew and the destruction it left in Haiti. I was overwhelmed and I almost cannot believe how many people were affected and not just that but they were suffering from all kinds of unimaginable things. Hunger was the first to list, there was a lot a starvation, people were poring from all over when aid was coming to bring them food aid with trucks. Disease was everywhere, doctors coming from all over the world had to face with cholera and disease. Infrastructure was damaged, homes destroyed. It is really hard to express in words all the suffering the people had to deal with. I feel like there should be something we should do to help. +Human traffickers must be some of the most loathsome people on this planet. Some may think they are doing good things trying to get people to a better place, but these traffickers do not see people and are wanting to help them. They see them as money, they take advantage of them and take every single thing they can from them while promising them a better life. They do not care about the safety of people and are just trying to maximize their profits. The only reason they wouldn't just get rid of the migrants out at sea after taking all their belongings is it may be bad for business. +I have no idea what any of that means but I wonder sometimes what it would be like to play a game that goes on over more than one day. Imagine if you could go back home and go to sleep at halftime of the Super Bowl and then come back the next day and play the second half. Maybe then the Falcons would have taken the 2nd half of that game against the Patriots more seriously. When I watched Lebron crush the Raptors I was kind of curious as to how they slept knowing a game was coming up. They probably felt scared, like they had a big test coming up and they didn't think they were prepared. +“The vast majority of battleground states have Republicans overseeing their election systems,” Moore told POLITICO last week. “It’s safe to assume they’re not rigging the process either against Donald Trump or for anyone else.” Meanwhile, Trump’s downward spiral has forced House Republicans to scramble to secure their once-safe majority and the difficult balancing act between Trump’s die-hard supporters and moderate independents has begun to take its toll on vulnerable Senate candidates like New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte. She trailed by 8 points in a poll released on Thursday, after polls earlier this month showed a dead heat. For the party that put Trump forward, the race has become less of a suspenseful thriller and more, to use a favorite Trump term, of a “horror show.” +I always feel bad when women talk about their experiences with sexual assault because you know how I feel about that but I want to put it into words anyway. I feel like it's always on the women to be the ones to hold men accountable and to report it and everything but I'm so frustrated by the fact that men won't take a bigger stand. Men should hold each other accountable for sexual assault and encourage each other not to do it instead of making jokes about it all the time. I'm just so frustrated by how there are so many stories of women that are suffering needlessly at the hands of these arrogant men and yet women have to endure a lifetime of trauma from it and men usually get away with a slap on the wrist, it really just makes me so sick to my stomach, I hate it so much. +it is about time that for profit education has had the breaks put on them. provide a substandard education at the students and government's expense in unconsionable. they should have been shut down years earlier. there are so many cheaper and better alternatives to obtaining and education. i don't feel sorry for them +Did you see what is going on with all those refugees? They are trying to cross over by water and a lot of them are drowning and there are record numbers for deaths from shipwrecks. Those poor people just want to get away and lead a better life and they all keep dying or continue to suffer. I really wish we could do something for them so they could all live better lives. +The previous article says that- Countless Acts Of Hate Have Been Carried Out Since Trump’s Win — Day one of Donald Trump’s America came with countless acts of hate that were carried out by his supporters against several of the country’s most marginalized groups. Day two was no different, nor the days following. Since Election Day, there have been more than 200 acts of election-related intimidation and harassment across the U.S., according to a survey by the Southern Poverty Law Center. People from all types of communities ― black, Latino, Muslim, Jewish, Asian, queer people, women ― have been physically harmed, slandered with hate speech or been the targets of racist graffiti. While we shouldn’t have to live in fear for our safety, Trump supporters feel more emboldened than ever to express +This is just sick. It kills me that this lady is a parent. I am more confused that the step-father had no idea. I doubt after moving to multiple houses that you would not have noticed something was off. I mean you never went into these closets? The biggest issue here though is that this woman thought she would rid herself of a problem because of social services checking in on her. It is disgusting. I am surprised the other kids survived. They all must have lived in fear of this lady. Makes me so mad people kill kids. +I just read about the Haitians who came here after the earthquake. While I wish we could help everyone we just can't. Only so many resources in this country and unless we want to become another 3rd world country we have to send them home. Make them wait in line just like any other legal immigrant. Why should they be given special privileges to be in this country. I hate to be mean but if you aren't here legally then you have to go home. +Ugh! I am literally sick to my stomach about all of these attacks. It's utter nonsense about how many people have been killed and for what?! Stupid preferences on what a someone believes a society should consist of?! It is disgusting. My heart really goes out to all those families and the doctors! Those doctors are tirelessly working to heal as many people they can and even by a dim light since the conditions around them are being torn to shreds. The amount of bravery to try so hard and keep the number of people dying as low as possible is amazing, to say the least. I really feel sad for the familes that have lost so many loved ones and that have been displaced. +Sally Brampton: Journalist killed herself after 'missed opportunities' — Sally Brampton, founding editor of Elle magazine in the UK, killed herself after health professionals "missed opportunities" to offer her help, an inquest has heard. Ms Brampton, 60, who wrote a Daily Mail advice column, drowned after walking into the sea near her home on 10 May. Hastings Coroners' Court heard she was "in crisis" in March 2016 and had sought help from a psychiatrist and GP. +As I read this article, I felt disturbed knowing that a sexual abuser raped his daughter for many years and the man who murdered him is getting punished for finally ending the torture involved in the girl's life. Of course, murder was wrong, but what that girl's father did to her was by far more unacceptable in my opinion. +So i just read this article on gold fish in the wild. Wow. I learned a lot. Apparently we have an overload of gold fish in our lakes and rivers, which is very bad for the fish and the earth. It's bad for the earth because it messes with the sediments as they swim low on the bottom. It is also bad for the fish because they aren't bread for the big waters. their bodies grow as big as a football and they can weigh up to 4 pounds. Some are not even healthy. They say the best way to get rid of healthy fish is to bring it back to the pet store and to not flush sick or dead fish. put them in an ice slush. this article was really sad and disturbing to read at the same time. +The indonisian government is not doing enough to protect some forest land. The orangantans who number seven fifty to seventeen fifty will be completly wiped out if the company that is clearing this land is allowed to continue. What can we do to form a protest or let the government know that this is not right.Can you help me with some ideas? Maybe we email the indonesian government first or attempt to call them. After that maybe we can plan to picket or have a demonstration at the capitol building voicing our concerns. Do you feel the same about this that I do? if you dont I will get someone else to help me or I will go it alone. I just feel so strongly that something productive needs to be done and fast. If we drag our feet they will have this land cleared before we can blink an eye. +Hey, take a look at this. Lots of conflicting information here, but it'd be awesome if there's any truth in this story. I hate to see when animals are in horrible conditions like that, though of course PETA always goes way too far with their involvement. Maybe that's why I'm not sure what's true and what's not in this article? +We had a squirrel that entered our building and it’s in our activity room and it’s jumping on people and biting them and scratching them,” a woman told the dispatcher, according to audio from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. “So we need help.” During the call, people in the background cried for help. “I feel lightheaded,” one person said. “I don’t feel good.” “Okay, does anybody there need an ambulance to take them to the hospital?” the 911 dispatcher said. “I don’t know if we need to go in an ambulance but we need some care for people here,” the staff member told him. “It’s still in there and the people are bleeding.” “Is everybody out of the room?” the dispatcher said. The caller asked others: “Is anyone left in the activity room? Is the activity room empty?” “There is another person +I think it's a shame that they made the employees create fake accounts in order to drive up the sales. What a shame. Why are they blaming the employees when it was those in higher positions who were forced into doing what they did. If they wasn't forced then it never would've happened. I feel sorry for the worker, but I would've quit before they had me do something fraudulent. +The company behind ITT Technical Institute, the chain of for-profit schools in the United States, will shut down all of its campuses following financial sanctions from the U.S. Department of Education. ITT Educational Services said in a statement Tuesday it would shutter more than 130 locations in 39 states. The move affects hundreds of thousands of current students and more than 8,000 employees of the ITT Technical Institute, known colloquially as ITT Tech, the company said. “It is with profound regret that we must report that ITT Educational Services, Inc. will discontinue academic operations at all of its ITT Technical Institutes permanently after approximately 50 years of continuous service,” it said in a statement on its website. A day later, ITT announced it would not enroll any new +You see this? Mostly this just pisses me off. America takes ten thousand refugees. Woopee. People are dying, and they need somewhere safe, and all we do is take ten thousand. And let's face it America's hands aren't clean in the middle east, or Africa. America has learned nothing from past wars. We should be providing help to get people out and a safe place for them to stay, but instead we just let them die, getting bombed in their cities and drowned at sea. So I'm angry about this. What kind of society have we become when we let this happen? America should be doing so much more, to help these people. It's callous to think ten thousand is somehow being responsible, being moral. They're just trying to find a safe place, away from the constant threat of death everyday, for themselves and th +I can't believe that there has to be so much violence and bad in the world. The part of this article that really got to me was that the Muslim women were being raped and that doctors and nurses who wanted to help the people there were being treated rudely. It would be awful to have to live under these kinds of conditions. It would be awful to have the prices of food go up because of blockades and other reasons. It would be stressful and scary. +Dear friend , How are you ? I heard that you fell down the stairs and broke your leg !! Are you ok ? Hope you are getting better . But seriously, what really happened ? Your mum told me that you were running and fell but I want to hear directly from you . I am coming to the hospital to visit you in an hour . That's my final decision. No one can change it , and yes because you didn't come to school today you missed a lot of work . Don't be too happy , you'll have to complete the work later +We really don't think of air pollution all that much in most of the country, but it seems to be significant problem in certain larger areas. Apparently India is having a lot of issues with it, and it's making people sick. It's really sad when places put more emphasis on businesses than they do on the health of the people. +I read a very disturbing article about a recent study on depression resulting from birth control drugs. The study was performed by the University of Copenhagen and has confirmed a link between hormonal contraceptives and depression. The study was extensive and performed over a decade. The incident of depression was magnified over 28% when taking the combination pill, and even went as high as 78% in the teenage population! Alternatives to the pill which are longer-acting such as the ring and implant were even higher scoring in depression. One outstanding take-away for me in this article is the fact that women are only fertile about six days per month as opposed to men who are basically fertile every day, and yet the birth control burden falls on women. Hopefully men will share that soon. +I feel sad when reading this story, as she lost her companion and that's just what some animals are to people their companion, not just a dog or a pet, it's a part of them. This man was wrong for what he did although he was justified because it was seen as self defense he definitely could have done something else before fatally shooting the dog and killing it. Unless the dog was charging at him and starting to bite him or bark at him he should have seen no threat at that time and I feel like this was a careless mistake and he didn't need to do so. +I am deeply disturbed by what I have read in this article. It seems that a man committed a senseless act of murder by pouring flammable liquid on an innocent bus driver and setting him afire. There is never an acceptable excuse for such an act. I can only guess that racism is the motivation for the act as the victim was a member of the Indian community. +While I think many of us are troubled with the recent relations with Russia and suspicion of rigging our US election, in cahoots with POTUS Trump and hacking, we need to sort through the details and make sure we are using facts when they are available. Suspicions are sometimes unfounded, my heart goes out to the agent's family. +This whole story of all the thirty three miners found dead is an unfortunate tragedy. Their loss is really going to affect their family, friends, and co workers for the company that they work for to. These type of losses could have been avoided if they received more help or they could have trained them more for incase any unexpected events that could occur like this one for example. +France has been through a lot of crap lately. Some terrorists stormed a newspaper office and killed some people; their have been bombings at the airports and train stations; and a little girl was among 90 killed during a concert at one of their local venues. As sad as this all is, the most distressing thing is that the country has decided to activate additional measures to ensure their democracy is maintained. This always seems to be the case during a time of great terror and unrest- most of which are incited by officials working within the government itself. +i feel like we need to do somthing about this problem that is going on we dont need moms overdoseing on drugs plus doing it while they are driving. maybe there is a program we could start to help these mom in need and the kids that they have should be taken care by someone else while they are getting the help that they need to get better and then they can get there kids back when they are able to take care of them +It always upsets me when I read articles about land conflicts involving Native American tribes, especially when it involves oil pipelines. I fully support expanding domestic oil operations so as to better establish energy independence, but care should be taken to respect the needs of others when developing pipelines. It may be expensive to ensure environmental care is taken and, when necessary, to reroute the pipelines to avoid encroaching on sacred lands, but that doesn't mean it's not worth the expense. +hello brother I hope you are well these days and thought a lot about you and more when I see the news I find out that Saudi Arabia is struggling to expand its territory no matter what this pado should take care of being there is very dangerous so be careful I hope you take care of yourself and think of us +Hey bro you been hearing about that shooting in Charlotte, N.C? Isn't that pretty messed up that all these police shootings and racial black lives matter approach to life and living day to day? I ready that 16 cops were injured due to a protest/standoff. I guess they say the cop shot the black man and he was even unarmed. Why so theey have to shot someone when they don't even have a chance to defend themselves. It is very sad world we all live in these days. No one can get along but shooting and fighting you best believe they can do all that. +i lof this article it has a variety teaching about science that banana is the world's most popular fruit crop, with over 100 million metric tons produced annually in over 130 tropical and subtropical countries in like a 1950s they used to grow banana this causes disease gets harder to control over time all this is done by professor of plant pathology at the University of California, Davis +This is probably one of the most distressing articles I have read in my entire life, I really do not understand how this is even happening. Over and over again, we are showing to the black people in our country that we do not have the heart or the brains to care about them enough. It just makes me so mad! +What a terrible tragedy! Accidents like this hit families so hard... and losing both a father and son this way! The poor family must be just beside themselves. It seems too, if one looks at the circumstances, that they were close and enjoyed doing things together. How very sad. The rest of the family must be just shaken to the core. Hopefully they are a tight knit group with support systems. I hate to hear about anyone in accidents, but this sort of thing is just too sad. +California has problems similar to Flint Michigan when it comes to providing clean water to everyone. While California passed clean water acts to remedy this, it has had trouble providing for the poor in unincorporated areas such as Methany Tract (sp?). But California has recognized that having access to clean water is a right for all people. Currently they are working on having a nearby city help provide clean water to the Methany Tract citizens. It really makes one wonder about all the damage already done, the health problems, the children, and it makes one wonder how many other places and other states need to have this resolved. +I just read an article about two US Military personals being shot in Jordan. I have so many emotions running through me. I am sad about the loss of lives. I am in disbelief. How could this happen? The article said they do not believe it was a terrosit attack so that makes me feel relieved, but still worried. US is there to assist Jordan for training. Why our are people being attacked?! The article said they failed to stop at the entrance so I do not know if maybe it was a miscommunication. I am confused to what actually happened. From what I read there was an attack on Jordan when they just drove and barralled through their border so they are on high alert. My heart goes out to all of those involved and I am sad. But why on earth would they think that the US military personal are planning +I feel sorry for this person's family. His children now have no father. You just never know what makes people commit terrible acts of evil. Life can be taken in the blink of an eye. You need to make sure all your loved ones know how much you care, do as much good in the world as you can, because you never know when your last day on this earth is going to be. +did you hear about the wolf that got shot by a government sniper in Idaho I think it was. He was a special wolf from a pack in California that was endangered and had a tracking device on him so they could monitor his movements. he had already traveled 700 miles looking for a mate, which is what wolves do when they come of age. They are trying to hold them accountable for the needless and cruel slaughter of wild animals. I forgot the name of the group. But I hope they stop them. Animals need more laws that protect them from evil garbage people. +So I just read an article about climate change, and it is awful. It seems very few people are trying to stop it and it is maddening. We need to take more control over the things that are being put into the air that could be causing such an atrocious thing. We need to start reusing things and switching to organically grown things, if possible. The oceans and lakes are suffering and eventually, we will, too. +The article I just read discusses how the US is driving the extinction of Amazon rain forest by importing Amazon oil. This story made me feel very upset. The world's rain forests are play a major role in our existence. Without them, we would probably no longer exist. It makes me feel like there are people out there that just care about making a profit. These people need to open their eyes to the bigger picture. +Did you know that the spread of cholera is so terrible? I had no idea this was still such a daunting issue so many people face. I agree with a line in the article that said "The idea that people are still dying in 2015 of cholera is outrageous.” I feel so heartbroken that people are dying simply because they don't have clean water and appropriate medical care. +Hey, did you know that Turtles are especially endangered because of people using them for food, exploiting them by selling and trading them, and they are dying because of pollution and damage to rivers and Lakes.. their resources and dwindling. The real worry isn't so much the problem with Global warming..they can stand that somewhat..the problem is we are damaging the planet and fresh water so rapidly they can not withstand it. More than 60 percent of Turtles and their Shelled brothers are in danger.. they are vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered. We should do something to stop this. These creatures sometimes live longer than us. How is it that we are allowing them to be maimed, eaten, and polluting their habitat?? We have to do better. What do you say we volunteer tog +Thomas referred the case to the full court, and shortly before midnight, the justices issued an order granting Arthur’s stay request. The order included a statement from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. explaining that while he did not believe this case merited a review from the Supreme Court, he had decided to vote for a stay anyway as a courtesy to his colleagues. Roberts wrote that four of the other justices had voted in favor of staying the execution. While it takes five justices to overturn a lower court ruling, it takes only four to accept a case. “To afford them the opportunity to more fully consider the suitability of this case for review, including these circumstances, I vote to grant the stay as a courtesy,” he wrote. Justices Thomas and Samuel Alito would have rejected the requ +Hey you hear about the Coffee Killer? In Indonesia some chick who is also Australian has been found guilty of killing her friend by putting cyanide in her coffee. I did not get too many details about all of the evidence that they have against her but to me at least it does not seem like they have that much evidence. I guess she ordered her friend a coffee before her friend got there and right after she took a sip of the coffee she keeled over and died. Pretty crazy, right? I think she probably did it but their motive is weak and I do not think that she would have been found guilty if the trial was going on in the US. +I hate when these type of things happen. I mean, we trust these people with our information, private information, and somehow it just gets hacked? Someone obtained it and now is threathing to sell it to the public? This is unbearable right now. They should have a secure way to protect the information we provide +The article was about New Global Warming study.warns: desert in Southern Spain in the future — Climate scientists from France shared a study this week about the possible grim future awaiting the country of Spain, and the Earth as a whole. They warned that if climate change continues, deserts in the Middle East will expand to the Mediterranean and even reach Southern Spain, transforming today’s deciduous forests into barren lands hostile for plants and animals, and of course including humans. Last year, hundreds of countries around the globe have signed a non-binding agreement. Known as the Paris Agreement, its main goal is to stop global warning by implementing and keeping long-term solutions. The target is to keep temperature rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit +I don't necessarily agree with this stance, as I feel Trump can help our country move forth and improve economically. While Trump wasn't my ideal President, he was the much better choice over Clinton. So, in my opinion, he was the better candidate. I feel like Obama was a joke as a President, and what did he really do during his 8 years of Presidency that he will be remembered for? ObamaCare? That isn't a positive in my opinion. So, I can't say that I really think Moore and I are on the same page, and we have a difference of opinions. +Tourist who claimed she was raped in Dubai is charged with extramarital sex — A British tourist allegedly raped by two men in Dubai faces jail after cops accused her of sex outside marriage. The woman, 25, claims she was attacked by two U.K. men last month. But when she reported it, she was locked up and charged with “extramarital sex”. She is on bail but is not allowed to leave and needs $30,000 for legal fees. +I really don't fully understand what's happening in this article. I get that the players need sleep and that's about it. Do you know much about what they're trying to say here? I have such little knowledge of sports that I struggle understanding the lingo associated with the sport. I can understand sleep though! +It's very unfortunate for both the wildlife and the communities that survive off of the meat that the rare animals provide. It's also sad how the police officers ran away which was I guess the main point of the person telling the story. That is very corrupt and wrong, they should have stood up for the Rangers being targeted. I think it's best if the wildlife is preserved and the community that attacked the Rangers were clearly out of line. +I wonder if this problems exists in the U.S. as well as the UK? This is a consideration, since we both have garden ponds. Maybe we should learn more about how to keep our ponds more sanitary for the frogs! I have noticed alot of frogs in mine, so this is interesting readying, anyway. This is just another way that humans interfere with the natural environment, I guess. +I read this article about what black people think. It is crazy that they still believe they are being targeted by the police. Can you believe in this day and age they still believe that. The difference between why more black people get shot is more of them do crimes. Add to the fact that black families tell their kids not to trust the police. Don't run, Don't fight back and do what the police officer says and you have a lot great chance of not getting shot. I can't stand these black people who feel like they have it so bad here. Let them try living back in Africa and see how they like that. +This is just crazy, you have to feel for the mother, but at the same time what kind of apartment has that many violations and is still not punished. They need to sue them and anybody involved with this. I cant believe that in today's society that tragedies like this are tolerated. Somebody needs to go to jail for the death of this little girl and the injuries that her mother suffered. I cant imagine what the mother is going through and she probably blames herself. Things like this should just not happen. +Hey D, I read this article about this boy who was abused and went through stuff with his family. I feel like I can really relate to him, having a mother who had their own addictions. I always knew people like him always come out on top because he went through so much to get the success that he is having today. I wanted to show this to you so that you don't give up either, no matter how hard the circumstances are. Love, A. +My heart hurts for those affected. I will be praying for the soldiers attacked and their families. As we approach memorial day, we need to reflect on what we have learned in past wars and one thing is clear, mustard gas is not a weapon that should be used, I understand that many of the attacks going on right now include Guerrilla warfare but we cannot fight back in the same ways. +Hey, I thought this was an interesting article about males born through medical fertilization. Apparently, these men are also more likely to suffer from the same problems as their fathers did with being able to have babies. It's sort of sad to think about it. The author suggest using a sperm donor instead, but I couldn't imagine doing that if I was in this situation. +The situation in Syria is really shocking. I just read an article about how the regime in power together with Russia is bombing schools and relief caravans. They deny it and Russia and China vote against sanctions at the UN. It's hard to understand what could be behind this outrage. Fortunately, there is Human Rights Watch which has done extensive and careful documentation of the most recent school bombing, and there is some effort to get individual acts treated as war crimes through UN channels. +I was sad to hear that a woman was critically injured Sunday evening in a multiple car wreck in the Clinton area of Prince George’s County. It seems like these things are becoming more common. At least the reporting of such accidents is more common. People should pay more attention to their driving. I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone involved was distracted by cellphone use. +Leonard Cohen just died. Knew little about him but now see Ill have to look into his songs and writing. He was the epitome of the starving writer, it seems. His popularity continued to grow as he aged, and he was able to reap some rewards, but it didn't really catch up with his needs until recent years. He was a Buddhist monk, too. Had no idea. He clearly raised the bar in song writing. +It is really sad this country is still having major issues with prejudice and inequality. Being a minority myself, I feel for the Muslims and others who faced terrible treatment just because of their heritage. I hope you don't have to experience these terrible things as they have. I would be really careful who you talk to just to be on the safe side. It is an unpredictable world we live in today sadly. +Man veterans need more help. This article talks about how a lot of Americans have problems, especially vets, with sleeping. I can imagine that this sleeping problem can carry over into so many other areas of their lives like at work and their interpersonal relationships. Even thought they weren't able to establish a specific link their has to be a link between PTSD and problems with sleeping given the huge consequences of PTSD. +This is such a sad situation for both the people and the elephants affected by all the coal mining. The world really needs to move forward to try to replace using coal as a means of energy, and replace it with something that is less harmful to humans, animals and the environment. It's not fair, especially to the animals, since they don't really benefit from the coal mining. +Water parks and amusement parks in general are just disasters waiting to happen. We truly don't know how dangerous some of these things are until something goes wrong. Then we all see what was so obvious yet impossible to see until pointed out. I am going to avoid these places like the plague. Plus life is too short to wait in lines. +I just dont have many feeling about this article. I guess i feel bad for the teachers but it doesnt exactly bother me. I am not too concerned with affairs in other countries unless it is about war or peace and political things. Packing up and having to move your live away in just a few days is very hard and i guess i feel some sympathy about that. +I think they should find out precisely what she did to that child for 3 years and do the same thing to her for 3 years. Since she is stronger, she will survive, then they can bring her back to complete health, then do it again for the next 3 years, then keep repeating it until she dies. I can't comprehend why people like this do these things, but there is a special place in hell. I don't buy the mental illness garbage. OF COURSE she has a mental illness, but that shouldn't automatically imply protection from justice. The very nature of murder, especially of this kind, requires a mental illness to a certain degree, so no pleading insanity. Torture her as she tortured that poor boy. +Wow how sad is this news? I'm glad that people rallied together to help those people at least. This really reminds me of when I lived in Texas and everyone was having their homes and land ruined by wild fires that went out of control. People lost everything but luckily everyone really teamed up to help each other. +It seems pretty suspicious to me that a machine that was off could just turn itself back on. I'm sure somebody either accidentally turned it on or do it on purpose. That sounds like a really awful way to go though being crushed like that. They better come up with some better safety requirements to make sure that doesn't happen to anybody ever again. +Expert from an article I just read on the climate talks: "Mediterranean region would see changes never experienced during recorded history. Morocco could see increased temperatures and drought that would drive the southern deserts further north, displacing forests. Deserts would expand in the Middle East, pushing temperate forests higher into the mountains. Average temperatures in the region have already risen by 1.3°C since the late 19th century, well above the world average of 0.85°C, according to the study." And we are still arguing over coal as a fuel source so that the billionaires can make more billions. Read the rest, it's distrubing what will come to those who suffer through what has been created. +I saw some heartbreaking news and I could not believe it. Why would defenseless and innocent people be killed over something that they did not do or had no involvement with? I will never understand why some things in this world are the way that they are. There needs to be change but sadly I do not think we will see it soon. +This is another story of government overreach. Big government pushed by authoritarian leftists making a big deal over nonsense and holding back human progression in the name of hippy bullshit. If a species is endangered it deserves it's fate. More species have went extinct in the time before humans existed than in our entire existence. It's a non problem and just how the world works. +Climate change is extremely worrisome. And it is getting worse and worse every year. Something has to be done about it, and I think it starts with getting rid of corporate contributions to politicians and getting rid of lobbying. The world is dying and I think that needs to be clearly communicated to as many people as possible. Too many CEO's are thinking about their own profits. The system needs to limit their power and start focusing on the health of the species and the planet instead. +Hey guys check this article out. I was talking to about this sleep paralysis thing. It's such a scary event I do no wish upon anyone. I've experienced it in the past and is no fun. Some people hear voices, others see ghosts or the likes. I hope you guys never have to experience such a thing. It's good thing to know that it has a medical term and is not sometihng actually paranormal. +It's almost funny because I was looking at something really similar to this on Steve Wilkos, that a baby got hurt after pushing through a window screen and Steve was yelling at her and saying how she was so negligent and a bad mom but I honestly think that it's not the parents fault. Sometimes accidents just really so happen and kids are curious and they climb and then accidents happen. It's really upsetting for all of those involved and I really feel for the mom in this case because she just lost her kid and she probably blames herself enough as it is. She doesn't need society talking badly about her from behind closed doors. Accidents are just accidents and it can happen to anyone, although I think that everyone can agree that it's a really sad situation overall. +I just read another story about American soldiers deaths at the hands of terrorists. What upsets me the most about reading it is thinking about their families. I wonder if they had children that will have to grow up without them. I think about wives and their parents and how those peoples' lives have now changed forever. I think about how upset I would be if my son grew up to join the military. I would be a mess. +These pellet guns almost seem like they were meant to maim individuals, under the guise of a less-lethal round. The fact that the ammunition seems to have been modified to cause more damage, more permanent damage, seems to back that up. It's a travesty that such violence is being committed, such life changing violence. These people are not dying, they're being irreparibly harmed, altered, changed for the rest of their lives. More people should be talking about the use of such "non-lethal" weapons. Can't the local force exercise some restraint, some humanity? It's confusing, because I can't think of any reason other than harm someone would introduce maiming pellets as such as the case here. +Floyd Mayweather owes a jewelry store some money. It seems like it's the richest people in the world that always find some excuse either not to pay taxes or not to pay someone money that is owed. He has all that money, and he has to be sued to pay for something that he could have easily paid for in full upfront. People like him are ridiculous. There are so many people out here starving, and here he is sitting in his mansion not paying for something he bought. +IT's sad to hear about dead fish, but that's what happens sometimes. We can try to figure out what's going on and make a plan to stop, but nature is going to always come out ahead no matter what. nature always has its balance and you can't stop that from happening. If you do attempt, you're just going to cause more propblems than what it's worth and nature will still rule in the end. +Before reading this article I use to think that Flint was the only major water problem and I know that people have more on, but Flint is still having a water problem. I'm mad that California is the only state to pass laws for people to have rights to clean water. I know California has water issues with drought, but nobody should go with out clean water. Reading the article, reminds me that this is a world wide issue and we must figure a way to provide fresh and clean water to everyone. Especially those in need. +Hey, I just read this insane article about the situation in Aleppo. I didn't even realize how bad it was. People are dying and have no hope for the future. It really makes me appreciate everything I have in life and the article makes all my problems seem so trivial and insignificant by comparison. Anyway, you should check it out. +I just read an article about Kesha and how she was pressured into losing weight by not eating and "dumbing down" the content of her songs. It's pretty messed up that this is what goes on in the entertainment/music industry. At the same time though, she is an adult and she had the choice to go along with this or not. She cashed in and got a lot of fame. I can't say I really feel that sorry for her. If it was me I would have just said, "no" and moved on. She had the ability to speak up, but she didn't because she wanted fame. +We need to be more considerate of climate change, its effects are too dangerous to ignore. Because of this, it's easy to recognize the moral imperative we have to fulfill our obligations to society. We would be remiss to deny these exact warning signs, and we know that scientists have dedicated their entire lives towards the subject of climate change. We should heed their collective warning immediately. +i feel that racism is still alive today and it is a big problem people need to realize that color doesnt matter and that we are all humans with feeling and no one person is better than the other reguardless of the color of there skin. there should be stronger laws helping fight racism also teaching kids that its not ok to call people names just cause of there skin color. we need to work as a nation to fix this problem +A mayor and his bodyguards in the Philippines was shot and killed by local law enforcement. He was in to the illegal drug business. He was elected to take a stance against drugs. It's really weird to think that a mayor was the one taking part in the illegal drug trade. It makes me wonder who can you really trust. He was said to be a narco-politician. Sad to think the people can't even trust his own mayor. +How disgusting is Wells Fargo? It's unbelievable the way they treated their tellers, and all those fake accounts? Can you even? I don't understand how this bank doesn't get shut down. You really should think about getting an account with a different bank, you know. What if your SS got used to make some of those accounts? +I feel bad for the teachers but there are so many teachers in this country that I would like to see expelled. It is amazing how much power Turkey has. I do not really understand this power but it must be difficult to pack up your life so quickly. I can't imagine having to do that. How does anyone start fresh when they were expelled. You would always feel like it is going to happen again. +So what can we do when genocide occurs in different parts of the world? Does prayer help? Will war help or hurt more? When people do not get along, not because of a shortage of food or water, but rather because a belief system is not universal, that is a human tragedy. Saudi Arabia and Iran are prime examples of animalistic behavior at this point in time. We here in America pretty much killed off the American Indians because we wanted the land. Nothing different is happening in the Middle East. We always hear that might makes right but that's not truly the case. Might makes blight and generations suffer till most of it is forgotten. The moral is too learn from our mistakes and the bad aspects of what history tries to teach us . +I can't imagine what it must have been like for the people who were caught up in this, how helpless they must have felt. Not having any recourse for so long, no one doing anything to right the wrongs, just feeling like it's ok for you to be abused and for it to go on for so long and happen to so many people. Maybe they feel some kind of closure now though. +I have such tender feelings for all these poor women that are being raped. American women are freaking out left and right about such minor things when we have these poor women being raped and tortured for no reason at all other than who they affiliate with. This stuff is so ridiculous and it adds such a mysterious cloak to it because western journalists aren't really allowed in myanmar. It just seems other wordly that all this violence and just chaos is going on. Not really even that far away, sure it's the other side of the planet but these crimes and disrespect of human rights is happening one way or another. What would you do in the situation if you were one of the innocent people stuck in the middle of it? +I feel like there is so many people out there that are less fortunate then us, we need to take a second to see how people feel about themselves and the situations they are in and the people around them. I feel like the person writing this has gone through alot in his life and this all just adds into the fact of everything else +If people had to see how their food was killed, there's a good chance they wouldn't want to eat it. Between a live chicken and the package you buy at the grocery store lies a world of torture. The inhumane way some of our food, particularly chicken, makes it's way to our dinner plate is beyond disturbing. Factory farming is simply another word for animal torture. +it is frightening to learn about all these shark attacks but these surfers should be aware of the risks associated with the sport. relocating the sharks should be a priority and it would be in the best interest to establish a moratorium on water sports until the shark epidemic is dealt with. closing beach in australia is a good precautionary method +Hey, Zambia is protecting elephants on a massie refuge type area! They are fighting off poaching and that sort of stuff. Which is great! But I had no idea that the elephants are destroying a lot around the. They have even killed people! Sad huh? Also elephants will wipe out a farmers entire plants and food! That is really bad. They feel like their government care more about the animals than the people! I think they should provide some fencing. That is ridiculous to let people suffer all because they won't put up some barriers to block the elephants. +Seriously, timeshares?! I cannot believe it is even an issue for someone to get relinquish their timeshare. These companies seem to want to be your best friend to get you to buy a timeshare, but once you do they do not care about you, your family, or what situation your life is in. They make it hard to get rid of because most of their customers are older people who don't always want to go through the hassle. These people need assistance because the timeshare companies make it too hard to get rid of. Although they may say that they have an easy process to relinquish, but after undercover investigations, that proved to be wrong. If someone bought something like this for their family to enjoy but now their family is grown and gone, why should they have to continue with it? +I just read this article about trees dying across the country and I can't understand why more people aren't concerned about this. If we lose our trees we lose everything. It makes me crazy that people aren't paying attention and could care less about the snowball effect that is happening because of climate change. Because of us! +Did you hear the story about the orangutan named Diana? She was illegally captured with, I think, three others. These animals are becoming extinct. The good news is, though, that she was saved. When she was found she was blind and partially paralyzed, due to meningitis, I sure because she wasn't being taken care of. I don't understand how people can treat these beautiful animals so poorly. It really make me sad. +After reading this article, I had to write you and share it with you. You see, we aren't just crazy parents telling our children to slow down every chance we get. These young men were out doing something they absolutely loved and doing it with their closest friends, and now they don't have the opportunity to grow old and continue to enjoy many more things to come. They were so young and had their whole lives ahead of them. I can't imagine how their families are feeling right now. Hug your little ones a little tighter tonight. +well first of all whoever wrote this article doesn't know how to properly divide an article into paragraphs, which made reading this article extremely painful, but nonetheless I do know after reading the article that Zika virus tend to stay in semen and vaginal fluid for extended amount of time, so it's obvious don't mate with people who have zika virus, and don't even think about having a baby, they're going to be defective +After reading an article about the fraud happened years ago, I am now traumatized with easily trusting people. It is indeed a nightmare for all the victims to be involved in this kind of problem. It is a challenge to trust people again and invest your money on something. It is always good to know your rights before giving away the so called "trust". +Did you hear about this kid who lost his leg because a teacher body slammed him? Obviously I don't know what exactly happened but from the news report he was acting up and the teacher decided to use physical restraint. Supposedly in this county of Georgia teachers can use physical restraint on students if they are disobedient and a threat to students and others. I think its safe to say there was fault on all sides. The kid should of behaved himself, the teacher shouldn't probably shouldn't of been as excessive and the school should of handle the whole situation better. What do you think? +Whos mother would wish their child dead over being blind. That has to be one of the worst things I have read in quite some time. I have a very hard time digesting that the mother could overcome her daughter's death over her blindness, she clearly has some things that she needs to work out because while being blind is not ideal the girl can and will overcome her injury. It is truly unfortunate that they live n a place where the need to "own" land comes at the cost of this girls eyesight. It seems to me it was in an effort to reduce killing that these pellets were used and a horrible accident that injured her. +This was a terrible tragedy gone wrong, and honestly I don't really know if there was something that could be done about this before the event even happened? How did this man get into the airport with a gun? Was it because he did not pass through security before shooting this man or because he chose not to? I don't think something like this should have happens and being an airport i definitely don't think this should have happened at all assuming all the security that they do have in place how was this to happen? +well well well, look at what we have well, the arrogant Kim Kardashian finally got what she deserves: being robbed for millions, the thought of it is bitter, considering it's a robbery after all, but think the other way, a rich superfluous gal as Kim, broadcasting her belongings on social media, I guess she brought this upon herself +France Dismantles 'The Jungle' in Calais — A small camp in Calais, France, housing nearly 8,000 migrants hoping to cross into England, is being evacuated and torn down in what French authorities are calling a “humanitarian” operation. The migrants, fleeing their homes in Africa and the Middle East, are being relocated from the camp known as “the Jungle” to centers across France. Some have decided they do not want to leave, and protests have resulted in fires burning through tents, trailers, shacks, and makeshift shops in the camp. The dismantlement operation is expected to last for a week. +It hurts to know that those children may have lost their parents in their ordeal and that they may be put into the "system" where they're passed around multiple families before they find a loving home. I wonder if they have relatives that might be willing to take them in. I wish the article had been more informative and told a more comprehensive story about what happened and why the children were spared when three adults were killed. Perhaps there was a spat between the adults involved and the children ended up witnessing a traumatic incident. Either way, no good comes out of this entire situation. +we have to become aware of climate change. This problem belongs to everyone and if we ignore this problem, it will become irreversible. We will not have anything to inherit from our children. Let us support campaigns for the conservation of the environment and the use of renewable energy. The politicians only watch over the interests of the companies and not of the individuals. +It a tragedy when the people who are their to protect and serve us are gun down for no reason. My heart goes out to both families in this situation. It totally is unfair to die for no reason because of a selfish and ill man. It is really upsetting that this man just decides to kill police officers that are on duty to protect us from danger. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading a very upsetting and tragic article. It told the story of a young teenage girl in India named Insha Mushtaq. She lost her vision and 14 years old because she was shot repeatedly with pellets. She has been in and out of hospitals for months trying to regain her vision, but so far it has not been successful. She is trying to stay positive now but she knows that she has a difficult road ahead of her. I hope that she regains her sight. +This crash is so sad to hear about. It involves such undeserving people, and it does not sound like it was even the bus driver's fault. These people were just trying to get to where they need to be, and then something terrible happened. It is very sad and could happen to anyone at anytime. YOu never know what might go wrong in this world. +This seems like a conspiracy reach, but the medical exams were either lying or the bodies were really never examined. The Poles have a reason to distrust Russia- Russia does itself no favors, no country in the World should trust them-, they have a long history of conflict. The reason we had Polish jokes in America a few decades ago started with Russian racism towards Poles. +I had no earthly idea that Michael Douglas had battled oral cancer. I found out in an article talking about a remark he apparently made regarding Val Kilmer, who ostensibly also may or may not be battling oral cancer. Setting aside the absurdity of the media relaying a he said-she said moment with no relevance to the greater world beyond the individuals to whom it applies, it is terrifying to think how prevalent cancer is. +Can you believe what this family has done to these girls? They have treated these children so heinously. It is insane that the police wouldn't do anything until they were basically forced by the media. I can appreciate things that happened later to help these girls but this so unfair. This breaks my heart. +I just read an article about Wells Fargo in particular, but really it's probably happening at many banks. I know you've seen the people when you're out in public who are trying to get you to open a new account and you know they're just doing it to make some sort of commission. Well, come to find out Wells Fargo just discovered 80,000 phony accounts that must have been opened to fulfill branch quotas. Aren't these the institutions we'e supposed to trust with our money! I understand they don't think it's a big deal because out of millions it was only 80,000, but I find it extremely concerning that the higher ups down know what's really happening in day to day operations. It took 5 years to discover this. What else could be happening that we don't know about?! +Did you hear about the 3 year old that climbed into the gorilla enclosure and was dragged around by the gorilla. The zookeepers had to shoot the gorilla. Apparently, there were no problems with the barrier. I'd like to know how the little boy got in there. Based on what I read, I don't really take issue with the zoo or the gorilla. The barrier was at the right standard, and the gorilla did what a gorilla is going to do if something like that happens. I place the blame on the parents who somehow let their 3 year old child climb into a gorilla enclosure. Were they not paying attention? +Knowing how you love animals, I thought you would like to read about the Four Paws removal of the surviving animals in a Gaza Strip zoo. First of all, the zoo was horrid. Less than 20 animals remained of the hundreds that had been previously housed here. The rescue of the animals occurred under rather harrowing conditions with Hamas and Israeli forces launching missles during the evacuation process. It sounds as though the surviving animals will end up in different locations that deal with their specific species. They will be rehabilitated and may eventually be released back into the wild. Let me know what you think. +Here's one more great reason to never allow Sharia law into the US in any way, shape, or form. This is commonplace in the Arab world, where women are treated essentially as slaves or worse, while men can do anything they want and get away with it. What a terrible sense of "justice" or "law". This poor women would've, at best, been scarred for the rest of her life just on the grounds of being raped by multiple men. I can only imagine how traumatic this is for her when she's thrown in jail after being the victim of a horrible crime! Disgusting! +I can't even begin to put myself in the shoes of someone who has to deal with preparing to die half a dozen times, and then once again, it's halted, because people above him argue over semantics. Yes, he did do something wrong, and deserves what he is given, but bureaucracy goes a little too far in how much they can control a persons feelings and life. +There are many orphaned children around the world. International displacement is a huge problem that seems to be causing a lot of separated families. These children are having to go to orphanages, shelters, and other temporary placement in order to seek refuge. These children range in age from young to teenagers. +I had heard about the huge fires burning in the Indonesia area and the haze clouds they are producing but I didn't realize it was so bad. Apparently there is a statistical study that says 100,000 people have been killed by this. The researchers tried to count "early deaths" and got that figure. I suspect the root problem is corruption. Some of the business owners in Indonesia and Malaysia are extremely rich and can act with impunity, even though their actions cause great harm to the environment and to humans near and far. Maybe they should be charged with crimes for the deaths. On the other hand I dislike the idea of people being convicted of crimes via statistical analysis. It is too easy to manipulate. +Hello friend, I was distressed reading the article about the bankruptcy of American Apparel. However, it is clear that there were so many problems with the company, including the CEO, that the company has been doomed for a while. It's a shame the company was so poorly mismanaged. Maybe if they had a different CEO, they would have been able to survive. +I'd like to say that a comedy of errors has taken place. It seems our friend Gil got himself into trouble without doing anything wrong. His identity was stolen and then later he was mistakenly identified as the wrong person. Society needs to do a better job of providing enough resources for the "accused" to ensure that the perpetrator doesn't get a free ride while the accused seems to lose everything. We do live in a society where supposedly you are innocent till proven guilty, right? How can one lose a drivers license and a job without 100% proof on the table? Technology should be brought to bear to ensure that everyone is held harmless till all the facts are in. Is this achievable in our time? I believe yes if the right companies and government assets are brought in early enough. +It will never end, we will made to feel guilty about anything we enjoy. Not to mention that the "scientists" have regularly been shown to be fudging the climate change numbers. They don't want you to know that but want you to feel bad for having a cheeseburger. I don't like the cutting down of rain forests and believe that needs to end, but I think there are other answers. Getting rid of a great food supply is not one of them. Eating meat keeps us healthy and strong and may be the reason our brains grew to the size they did. Many politicians would want our brains to start getting smaller and more compliant. Getting rid of meat is not the answer and if we didn't waste time we could think of better solutions. +This whole article is a little sketchy, it seems like they're hiding stuff. This article, if you want to be really cynical and skeptical, makes it sound like the kids might be responsible for the deaths of the parents. It seems like a pretty vague article, I wish we had more information on this incident. +I don't think that it is fair to compare President Trump to Nazi Germany or the holocaust. I am not a fan of President Trump by any means, but I also have not once thought about comparing him to such a horrific part of the history of this world. Jews should not be worried that there will be another holocaust or that they will have to go back into concentration camps. I don't think the country would ever let that happen again, and I don't think that Donald Trump would go down that road either. He has a tendency to act like a child, but that would be a far stretch, even for him. +Just one week after Michael Bublé and wife Luisana Lopilato announced that their 3-year-old son, Noah, has cancer, Bublé’s friend and mentor David Foster gave an update on how the singer is coping.I think Michael, right now, is in a huge bubble, as you would expect when this happens. Everything shuts down around you,” the composer told Entertainment Tonight Canada later adding that Bublé will not sing again until his child is well.I’m certain of it he saidMany fans have reached out to the singer through social media, and Foster said that a few have contacted him wishing to extend their well-wishes and resources to Bublé. Though the diagnosis is heartbreaking, Bublé is “in good shape. +Hey, I wonder if this crash is related to terrorism. I bet it was. Seems like big accidents nowadays has something to do with terrorism. You got any family from Delaware? I don't. There is one thing I know, that I don't want to die in a vehicle accident. That has to be terrible. I guess if it's instant death then it's okay. I just don't want to suffer for a long time. I hope the people taken to the hospital are okay. +Wildfires in the western area of North Carolina, in the Appalachian mountains, can get so large they can be seen from space. In fact, some of the wildfires in neighboring southern states can produce enough smoke to cover areas of South Carolina. Despite not actually having a fire there, the smoke can get so thick that it takes heavy rain to make it dissipate. +Why would anyone, let alone a group of 10-15 teenagers feel the need to attack an innocent person? Chase them down and hurt them and than steal their wallet? What in the world are these parents doing? My mother would have killed me herself if she ever found out I was treating anyone that way. As far as any by standers that were possible in the area, I truly hope that they came forward and these individuals were arrested and detained. They are obviously a dangerous group of kids, who know right from wrong, but for some reason, they don't think the law applies to them. +What I learned about this situation was that sometimes life is not fair. Seeing this boy trapped in a place for 4 days is terrible. His poor body tried to survive and grab on for dear life but children are not exempt from this life. To think about that kid in that positiion makes me sad. His family is the one that suffers unfortunately. +Renewable energy is something that is very important. I am extremely loyal to the idea of renewable energy and need to develop a capacity to sustain my energy use. I am often the one to turn lights out unplug things, and etc. when I leave a room. I hate to have high energy costs when there is also a great amount of natural sunlight to be used. If you have a huge bay window in your bedroom for example just use that to read or do whatever activity you would like to do. +he government of Kenya this week revealed that it has accepted the request of the office of the UNHCR Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, to extend the deadline for the completion of repatriation of Somali refugees and eventual closure of the world's largest refugee complex, by six months.i will speak my friend +It's really unfortunate that North Korea doesn't seem able to help their citizens during a natural disaster. Hopefully some other country is willing to step up and offer assistance, although I don't know how that works since they don't really let people in. It must be pretty devastating if they are resorting to asking for outside help. +When will this world learn that rape is wrong, regardless of the context? Too many women are treated as an object, then punished by the system afterward. Some would say it is because of the religious beliefs in the area but America is no better. In our own backyard women can be raped and forced into carrying the baby to term as the father has "rights." Something needs to be done, and the British government needs to step in a help his woman. +The extinct of Rhino species had hope for survival species. There will always be Hope, for this iconic rhino will live on in everyone’s hearts and in STS’s mission of Creating Hope from Hurt. no one not stop the fight to save your species from extinction and will unite to end poaching and the illegal Rhino Horn & Ivory Trade worldwide +I read an article about this man who contracted a flesh-eating bacteria and almost died from it, unfortunately it didn't tell me where or how he contracted the flesh eating bacteria. I'm not sure I would know in time that I had a flesh eating bacteria, scary right!?! Have you ever known anyone or heard of anyone Contracting a flesh eating bacteria? +This story makes me sick to my stomach. I hate reading things about where my food comes from. It's bad enough to know that i am eating an animal but to know it suffered makes it worse. While the story is about the the suffering of an animal at the end of it's life it seems to ignore the suffering that the chicken goes through 99.9% of the time it is alive. This kind of story makes me want to go vegan. +I find it really amusing how Zika has been around since 1947 and not much fuss was made about it until it began killing people stateside. As usual, Black bodies are not valued or the conditions surrounding them until the same things begins to plague white people. Zika was minimized and downplayed for over sixty years. That says alot. +This is a very interesting article that focuses on this woman jet pilot, she was one of a kind. her heroic acts were recognized by those who knew her. the author portrays her as a hero and someone who should be remembered. once you finish reading this article you'll understand lots of things you did not before +This is what happens when you take in people from an archaic civilization. All of these refugees need to be throw back into their mud pit. Their religion embraces hatred. Let them figure out how to live in peace in their own countries, then we can allow them into civilized world. Is it is now, I think all of Europe is doomed. +It's so sad to see that world hunger is still such a large issue in other countries, especially when it seems like so much of our food goes to waste. Children passing out in the streets simply because they have no food to eat is heartbreaking. No one should have to suffer simply because they can't afford food. There needs to be another option. +You know I love animals, of all kinds, so let me tell you about. This poor creature was found half dead, mangled beyond belief because of poachers. Hope's story really brings to light the horrible and illegal trade of rhino poaching. I don't know if you know, but some people value rhino horns more than the beautiful creatures they come from. I don't believe the initial attack on Hope was responsible for her death, but it brought this beautiful creature into the spotlight, and I'm very glad for hearing of her story and saddened by her passing. +Erving Goffman, a sociologist and writer, compared how actors withheld their emotions to the everyday individual. Like actors, individuals can control how the emotions are expressed, but they cannot control their inner emotions or feelings. Inner feelings can only be suppressed in order to achieve the expression one wants people to see on the outside. Goffman explains that emotions and emotional experience are an ongoing thing that an individual is consciously and actively working through. Individuals want to conform to society with their inner and outer feelings. +The situation in Yemen with the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthi rebels is one with a lot of controversy, and for good reason. This conflict is rife with airstrikes and drone strikes that drop on civilians and militants alike. Qatar is culpable in the slaughter of citizens, which puts them firmly against the Geneva Conventions. Of course, I do not celebrate the loss of their soldiers' lives, as their families back home are just regular citizens as well in all likelihood. +It really is too bad that this had to happen. The internet will never let them forget. I'm sure the zookeepers feel awful about what has transpired. After all, They are probably all great lovers of animals and you and I know that it is never easy to see a poor animal die. I wonder if there were things to be done that could have prevented this or if I am just thinking with insight. +Did you hear about the airstrikes in Yementi? I can't believe it. i would have been petrified! Forty three people were killed, but could be up to sixty.. The bodies were just laying everywhere.and they were covering them with blankets. This is just one count of those that died. Since the battle has been going on they say over 10,000 people have died from this conflict, many just innocent civilians. I can't imagine being in that situation. +Hello, I feel very bad about Yu's death, she was so young and already a very accomplished person. I do believe she was very aware that her flying career had inherent risks that could ultimately cause her death. It angers and saddens me that people would undermine her role a female fighter pilot by making rude remarks stating there are other more accomplished women flyers. +Hey friend. Did you hear about this weird terrifying story of some british banker who wanted seemed to want to copy the American psycho movie? He murdered two women and if not for them panicking, they would have been tortured. He was a sick depraved individual. I don't know how people like this live in our society. They are all hidden under the surface. +It's good that they didn't have to hurt the emu. Every time I hear about one of these animal escapes I get the feeling that someone is going to end up killing the animal; I expect either an officer with legal authority or some stupid maniac with a gun who wants to kill something exotic is going to end up shooting it. I thought I saw a wild bird like run across the road one morning when I was driving to work. It wasn't big enough to be an emu but it was similar. I was worried that someone was going to kill it, whatever it was. +Have I conveyed my misanthropy fully yet. Read this for a laugh. This is what journalists are doing. We have an orange monkey destroying our nation and people spend time writing about something as meaningless as this. A guy died. Terribly sorry. Happens thousands and thousands times a day. Because this guy was an idiot it gets written up to feed the idiotic interests of the sheep. +Here is an article I just read about an accident at an amusement park in Australia. I've never heard of Dreamworld, have you? But the ride sounds like the old Shoot the Rapids we used to ride on at Cedar Point. In this case, the boat tipped over and people got trapped in the conveyor belt. I can't even imagine what the last moment of those people's lives must have been like. As for the kids who saw it all happen-- there are no words! At least none of the children died in the accident. But now they have lost a parent. One of those kids was just a baby. Now she will never know her mother. I never thought about rides failing when we were kids and used to go to amusement parks, but now I would probably not ride on any of that stuff. +I really think racism is getting out of hand lately. I don't understand why people have to commit hate crimes against people that they aren't similar to. Everyone deserves to live a happy life without being assaulted or worried that they'll be assaulted. And chalking it up to religion is even worse. People don't have to be so easily offended these days, but they are, and they're hate filled while they're offended too. +People are up in arms over Trump not believing in climate change. Withdrawing from the Paris treaty supposedly will contribute to global warming, along with doing away with the clean air act Obama passed while in office. There's so much involved with climate change its hard to tell what is fact. States are taking measures into their own hands to the extent they can I guess. +I don't know who Leon Russell is, but maybe you do? Apparently he passed away in his sleep. I haven't heard of the guy, but he sounded like quite the musician. Anyways, he passed away at 74 years old, which is a long life. The article I read stated he had some health issues, unfortunately. Poor guy. I hope he passed peacefully. +You know I love playing devil's advocate and having random views on things. Well here's another one of my crazy ideas so prepare yourself. I think that the Mayor of Sacramento is blessed that's all that happened to him. Yes he may be upset and a little shaken, but he still gets to go home to his family and enjoy his wealth. He doesn't lose his job and he isn't majorly damaged. I would easily take a pie in the face if afterwards I was a rich white man who still had supporters behind me. +It is a sad world when lives are threatened daily. let's remember when we here in America were fighting each other during the civil war. war is hell whether you are on the "right" side or the "wrong" side. Both sides invariably lose something. Does it make sense to have war? Is it a human condition that we will never be able to contain? I know these are open ended questions but are we like the herds of animals that migrate and take over others' territories when food and water are needed. I believe we can be better by accepting our differences and finding common ground for the welfare of all. +If you hear a ringing in your occasionally, don't be too alarmed. If you hear it persistently for quite some time, I would be slightly worried and definitely more alarmed. This could mean that you eventually lose your hearing. Tinnitus is a common thing to experience and usually is nothing. But sometimes this can be an early sign that you could lose your hearing. I strongly encourage people to go and get this checked if they experience frequently and definitely educate yourself on it. +People who take advantage of and endanger animals are the worst criminals in existence. Animals are defenseless and unable to do anything other than be confined and taken advantage of. This article shows the unfortunate process after animals are confiscated and taken away from these dangerous people, but there is no global consensus on the proper sequence and handling of these animals. +It sounds like someone didn't do their job at all in dealing with this housing complex. It sounds like a horrible situation but not a surprising one in a lot of these countries that lack housing laws and standards and accountability. I really hope they are able to rescue anyone still alive but trapped. On a weird note, what was with the blurb about the chicken? That was random. +I canot believe that there are citizens in this county, particularly in Minnesota, who are vulnerable enough to be manipulated by ISIS to kill individuals in their country. The Somali group in Minnesota has a history (several known cases) of people attempting to commit murder for the terrorist group. Tragically, an Somali man has just gone on a murder spree. He has not been linked to ISIS and his motivations are unclear, but I am disturbed. +I'm glad Germany is trying to help a lot of refugees when other countries (ahem the US) are trying to get out of helping people. However if they're going to have that reputation they need to be prepared to deal with the number of individuals who will try to come. It feels like so many of the problems these refugees are running from have been created at some point due to US/European colonization and intervention, so I'm glad they're at least trying. +I felt extremely bad and horrible for the child that fell down like that. I also felt very sad and disturbed when they found him dead about four days later. The poor child should have been taken care of more and looked after so that nothing would have happened to him then. I think that this whole thing is such a horrible tragedy and that it also could have been prevented as well. +Wow, it is scary to think there are mice that are twice their normal size hunting down and killing birds! It must be one scary place there right now with all that carnage. I hope Keith can make his plan come alive and stop the invasion of the mice. My concern is if they start getting off the island and migrating to other places. I live far away in America, but I sure don't want to run across these giant bird-eating mice. No thanks! +The upsurge in violent deaths is a troubling and terrifying prospect to face, based on the FBI's statistics. It's not a good measure of a society's health to see such dangerous statistics. We need to be doing everything we can to help mitigate this crisis. As for the collision of buses inside the Lincoln Terminal? That was another terrible tragedy which could've been avoided had the proper course of action been taken. +Wow...what a strange turn of events in this story. This guy who just randomly opened fire on a police officer turns out to be responsible for a number of homicides in Alaska. It's crazy to think that if the officers never confronted him for something unrelated, that there could have been countless more killings. +Environmentalism at its core is a racket. The leaders will use whatever methods to tie nature together to guilt you into accepting higher and higher taxes towards cost of living while majority of this money goes towards these non-profit organizations that help them push thier agenda. These environmental groups are only capable of gutting thier own people and will not address the larger oil buyers such as China or any other third world nation that is burning coal. By raising the cost of oil isn't going to stop Saudi Arabia or Russia from pumping oil, its all a racket to control the power supply and tax the people. +Hi, I just read an article about a sue concerning an apartment, and it got me thinking. Why do people never do research before signing any papers? It really is not that big of a deal or a difficult thing to do, this should be something basic to do, you know? It just troubles me how far things can go just because people do not really read! +This article is very, very, eye-opening and interesting to read about the the seven biggest threats that President Trump poses to the environment. I think with President Trump backing out of the Paris Agreement and not really focusing a little bit of more efforts on global warming, there can be a big problem in the future. +The Japanese that made up the restriction stating that you could not apply makeup while on the train are completely out of line. It is not up to them to dictate whether a man or woman can use their commute time to apply makeup. There needs to be mass protests, but we know there will not be as it is not in their nature. +I'm sorry to hear what happened to the people in the pulse shooting. It is not justified to use violence against anyone who has not initiated violence towards you. That being said I understand why the authorities would want to ban people who practice risky lifestyles from donating blood. The last thing we want is to have a blood supply that's contaminated with diseases because of the practices of people who engage in risky lifestyle choices and also sinful ones as well. No violence should never be the answer to people no matter what their lifestyle, But one should never condone something that is bad for society in the long run. +So I just read this article about rappers and music artists having a disagreement. It was pretty stupid too, I don't get why adults are fighting like high school children. It was all over some petty comments made, which apparently turned to racist slurs and got someone thrown out fo a building. Of course, everything is he said she said so I can't tell who was really wrong in this situation. However, again another situation that shows the stupidity of the human race. +This kind of thing happens in North Korea all the time. The country has so little usable farmland, that any weather disruption is a major problem. This is what happened during the Arduous March in the 90s, after Kim Il Sung died. The country had a couple bad years because of drought and then flooding, and suddenly everyone was starving. +KKK is filled with losers. Not sure why they get any attention. Actually, I know exactly why they get attention. It makes Trump look bad. Since that is the goal of the media, they will not pass this chance up. KKK has been irrelevant for decades. This is still the case. Media can make them look relevant, but they are not. +This article is so sad the hatred and anger we have towards one another in America needs to stop. Our children and grandchildren are going to grow up in a horrid place simply because we have people in our country who refuse to let go of the past. The past is in the past so let it stay in the past for crying out loud. +Here's an article about Standing Rock that I thought you would like to read. I think it's a few years old because it says the protests have been going on for five months, and I started following the Standing Rock case A LOT longer than five months ago. Barack Obama was still president then. I am very disappointed in the way he handled it and of course I have zero hope that Trump will do right by Native Americans at Standing Rock or anywhere else. We've had our own pipeline leaks here in Michigan, so the Lakota and Sioux who live in that area are right to be concerned. Even more so, it's their land and they have a right to tell the oil companies NO WAY. +This took place close to where I live so I can honestly say that it alarms me. Its a brutal world where this can happen and its always sad. I noticed the police and courts could have been more involved in preventing this but thats just how many of the violent stories I've been hearing have gone recently. +Well, there was another shooting. This one was in Washington. There is no real motive at this time, but they don't think it was terrorism. Maybe a broken heart? Anyways, it's getting ridiculous how many people are affected with these mass shootings. Just because someone has a grudge or a mental problem. +The article says that-Shannen Doherty Shares Her Cancer Story With Chelsea Handler In Emotional, Tear-Filled Interview — Shannen Doherty recalled what it’s like to be diagnosed with cancer in an emotional new interview with Chelsea Handler. During the sit-down, set to air on Handler’s Netflix show, Chelsea, the actress holds back tears while revealing what she’s learned through her health crisis. “I think what’s beautiful and hard and interesting about cancer is that it tears you down and builds you, and tears you down and builds you,” the Beverly Hills, 90210alum says in the clip. “It remakes you so many different times. The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different. I realize, +After reading this article I realized that our country is getting lazier and lazier. It doesn't surprise me when most Millenials out there feel entitled to everything. People don't think for themselves anymore or work hard for what they want. Not that people lack the intelligence but that they don't use it. They go to college, which is hard work, but then they expect a job to be handed to them. The real world isn't after high school, its after college. +There was this crazy story in the news the other day. Two guys were shot in Pennsylvania. One was shot twice in the stomach and the other was shot in the back. There were no arrests or anything and there was not stated motive. I wonder if it was a random thing or if they were involved with drugs or something? I guess we'll never know... +That's really strange that people would make such a big deal about her being single and running for office. That seems really petty, I wish people would focus all their attention on the real issues when it comes to politics. It seemed like the rules for Moldova didn't consider that a single person might run, I think they should update it. +If this was a hate crime that really sucks. If this was just a bar brawl that ended very badly ... still sucks. I don't understand why the police are being so secretive about things. And this guy's family is clear on the other side of the world probably feeling helpless. The other minorities in the area deserve to know if they need to be worried. Please, cops, release some info. +Another story that I am sending about Janet Reno. Thought she lived a good and long life, I always felt sorry for her and always wondered why she accepted the tough job of Attorney General. I felt sorry since she was often attacked for not only political reasons but her appearance also. She was unattractive and somewhat manly looking and the media used that against her. Made fun of her. This article mentions an encounter with Eleanor Roosevelt and her looks remind me of Janet. So maybe that is why she took the post. Wanted to be like her hero. +Did you hear about the Taliban attack on the German consulate in Afghanistan? If not, they set off a bomb at the gates and then an attack ensued. About 130 people were injured with 6 or so dead. Will that war ever end? An ancient saying says that "all empires end in that area" going back to Alexander the great. The country has never known peace and it's not looking any better. I feel sorry for all the injured, especially the children. I'm not sure the UN is making things any better either... +I'm the last one to want to victim blame anyone. I think as a celebrity you have to be a bit more conscious of your actions. Do I think Kim by posting the pics made someone want to rob her? No, but I think it's probably best to be more modest about what you post. I mean, just for safeties sake. I agree, I'd be scared to post about Tristan's ring too especially since it wasn't so long ago that Kim was robbed. Yes, I'm sure everything is insured, but it's still a scary experience and I'd do everything I could to avoid it. +This poor family lost the father just a short time ago! Now she is sick and suffering. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers in the next few days as they treat her. I hope her family is able to be there with her during this hard time, and that they are able to help her in her recovery. +Just another case of police brutality, not surprising at all This is a massive problem in our country, usually its the black population on the receiving end of it, but it does effect other people as well. When is this going to stop? Seems like it never is going to end, its been going on since the beginning of law enforcement, and will continue. Its shameful +I read an article about the hidden ads in online media and how it may be affecting children. It was about how kids see ads for junk food when they go online. They also spend a lot of time online, especially on YouTube. The videos on there are more influential, since they are real people, and the ads are more convincing. The article made me not want to let the kids watch YouTube or go online, which is really hard to do. I hate that the advertising industry seems to control all of our online media. +It seems that climate change is still a big threat to animals and wildlife, but not necessarily in the ways we would first think of. Climate change can affect the habitats of wild animals and cause them to die from things like lack of water, which is still a big deal. It's not the temperature change necessarily but what happens to things like the habitat. +I don't understand why we continue to fight this battle. People in our military are getting killed.It is not a good sign that anything positive is happening over there. I hate reading about military deaths. It is so sad that people have to go out there and fight. It seems unfair to me that their families at home get to get the phone calls that their love ones have died regardless of the circumstances. We need to do a better job at fighting batters we actually need to fight, vs fighting the battles of others. +Hey, here's another article that I'm sending to you for no good reason, since neither of us are interested in this kind of thing. It looks like more people died for shitty reasons, but maybe some are still alive. And, if there's anything that people love, it's the idea that things can be ok and / or get better. People fucking love this stuff. But, I did think that the bit about a HEN being rescued was out of place. haha. So, what do you think? +That would be a scary situation to live in. It is sad that the people feel like the government cares more about the elephants and animals than the people. These people must learn how to live with the elephants, but it seems like it is a scary thing to do. I would hate to try and live in that situation with children. I also think that anyone who is going to visit there should be made aware of the dangers of the elephants so that they don't get injured or killed like the 29 year old woman did in the article. +I feel very sad for the family of people who have lost their loved ones, especially family members that were so very deeply involved with the community and have touched so many hearts of the people around them as well. I am sure that for a long time, memories and special moments will be told with heart felt warmth for many generations. +I will never empathize or understand racists. Vandalism is the epitome of childish crimes as well. It's the twenty-first century and we still are surrounded by stupid racists. I say stupid because ignorance is simply not having a lack of intelligence or something, but you're still willing to educate yourself or be educated on it. Stupidity is being surrounded by so many outlets, professors, libraries, internet, magazines, and still refusing to learn about those that are different from you. +Hey just wanted to share this article with you and let you know some thoughts/feelings about it. I know that we have talked before about the importance of vaccinations, and if it is safe for kids to get them. I think this story really made me think about that and brought fourth some really interesting facts and data that make you see how it is changing and hurting different parts of the world. I feel that kids should receive these vaccinations as they are a easy way to help and protect people all over the world rather than taking a risk. +I think these people ahve been fighting each other over tribalism and ideology since I can remember. Im talking about Iraq, which is dividing into 3 main groups who have competed for limited resources for a long time. And the wealth of oil taken by the leaders and not shared with prosperity for all people has increased tensions. When I was young it was Iraq Iran War, the Saddam Hussein reign of terror, then the First Gulf War, the the Second Iraq War, then ISIS. THese people have something wrong with them and I think they bear some responsibility for their own suffering. +Read this article, this happened in Georgia where I live so I saw massive amounts of news coverage related to this case. I personally believe that the guy is guilty, there are too many things that he did and said that did not add up.It seems that he wanted to get rid of his kid and leave his wife and live his free lifestyle. I do not see any possible way that he did not know that the kid was in the car. That poor kid! +Those of you who smoke should quit. Once we quit, we're often surprised at the changes in attitude we experience regarding smoking, and life in general. When we quit and win our freedom from addiction, our mindset changes. After I quit I came to realize how much I really don't like it! I think I care more about myself now: My health, I stand up for myself when appropriate, I feel like there are more possibilities out there now without my smoking monkey on my back. +I think there is enough information about the health hazards of smoking for it to be understood why it should be outlawed in most public places. It is something that should be done in the privacy of people's homes, right? It makes sense to me. As for the rest of the information here about food safety, I don't trust most any public food establishment. I've seen too many nasty kitchens and bathrooms to trust a place to be clean when it counts! +Its inspiration and these people are still finding hard to donate blood to the victims despite the archaic rules regarding blood donations. The odds of HIV infection are so low that these blood donation laws need to be rolled back, like in Argentina. In the short term though, a way to help would be organizing a blood drive so those victims will get all the blood they need. +are you looking for an informative, creative and interesting article to read? Just for fun or educational purposes? then this the article for you. this article is really interesting. the author explains things in away that anyone can understand them. the author's use of language is genius and very interesting +It is horrible that things like this are still happening in the gulf of mexico and espesically since it is a priest. The cartels are doing horrible things that need to be controlled. It seems like the Mexican government can not do anything about it. Maybe there are some members in the government creating the problem +i and my friend always remain together. he has done a lot of help for me. he has been very hard for some time to help me with money. but he did not expect me anything.he is one of my family. he has great affection for me.he and i have come together in the school season.from that day he and i were not separated. +Just read an article about the situation in Haiti a month after the hurricane. Relief is being distributed better than after the last hurricane since the capital city was less affected and learnings from the previous situation were used to make some improvements. But getting food and water purification tablets distributed, and fairly, is a big problem. People are crazed with hunger and become violent, or give in to despair. Cholera is revving up. These are the immediate problems, but shelter, long-term rebuilding, voting in the upcoming election, and other issues lurk too. Somehow we have to figure out better relief efforts for natural disasters. +This guy got fucked. It sucks for him, but there’s nothing you can really do about these things, besides deal with it. There’s always going to be inefficiency and points of failure in any bureaucratic system right? Maybe the cops will get their shit together and sort it out for him, before he has to jump through all the bureaucratic hoops because of their initial mistake. +So today i read about Vaughn, an actor I didn't really know his name but have watched or heard most of the shows and movies he has been in. Today, i heard, he died at age 83 due to lukemia. IT is very sad to lose such a well respected actor. I guess his parents divorced at a young age but both gave him the genes to act. +This will embolden Trump supporters stance on immigration reform. I however do not believe just cause you are Muslim or an immigrant you are more prone to committing a terror attack. Attacks of terror and mass shooting are mostly causes by angry white men. When It's a white man hes a lone wolf and when your from a foreign country its terrorism. I am not making excuses for what happened. Surly its tragic but lets not pool a whole race of people into a negative basket because of one or two bad eggs. +It is really sad how many millions of people are led astray from the truth of the Bible. When people are exposed to hatred all their lives, it's very easy for them to become extremists. This suicide bomber in Pakistan is one of the sickest out there. People with no fear of death and who think they're actually going to be rewarded in the afterlife for killing innocent people? How stupid! +Wow, I feel really bad for the parishioners of the church that got burned down. At least nobody was injured. On the one hand, it's crazy that people would do this, but on the other hand, I'm not exactly surprised. Trump has been inciting racial hatred and tearing down standards of decent behaviour since before the beginning of his campaign. Let's hope he loses in November and we can file this away as a disgraceful moment in American history, nothing more. +Now this is a major issue: "Why Do Obese Patients Get Worse Care? Many Doctors Don’t See Past the Fat — You must lose weight, a doctor told Sarah Bramblette, advising a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet. But Ms. Bramblette had a basic question: How much do I weigh? The doctor’s scale went up to 350 pounds, and she was heavier than that. If she did not know the number, how would she know if the diet was working?" A populace that is so uneducated on health and nutrition that they don't know that it's mathematically impossible not to lose weight at over 350 pounds on a 1200 calorie a day diet. What's worse is a doctor who is so incompetent that he can't tell her that. If your clothes get bigger you are losing weight. +Aww man, I hate to see this. This kind of story makes me so sad for the families who are just waiting for their family members to come home. I worry about this kind of thing when my husband is making his 2 hour commute to and from work or when my sister and her husband take the train to NYC. You just never know. I feel so bad for those families right now. +I think the process of dying can contain various levels of trauma. Some people die with less pain, and we tend to call them lucky. I tend to think the body inflicts various levels of physical and psychological pain over the often somewhat lengthy process of dying. One type of emotion I can partly relate to is the idea that the party (life) keeps going on, but you have to leave. The idea of no longer consuming new information or experiences. The process of dying inflicts bad emotions on me, but thinking about being dead does not inflict many emotions on me. I feel neutral or calm about the idea, and I see no rational reason for worrying about it. +There have just been so many different tragedies involving the sinking of migrant boats that the people who live in Western countries have become immunized to the images. I just wonder how people so close by in European countries can have an anti-refugee position (though they call them migrants) when the evidence of tragedy is before them every year since the Syrian war heated up. I think it is really just crazy. +Ugh, I just read an article about our disgusting president and the way women are reacting to these rumors, allegations and truths made about this man and his inexcusable treatment of women in the past. And, that's just it, who is stupid enough to think his behavior is only in the past and is not still occurring today behind closed doors!? I am sure it is only a matter of time before that also comes out. The more and more I read about him, the more and more disturbed I am to have him as a president and wish I did not live in a country where that animal is calling the shots. The article was talking about women, especially Republican women, starting to pull away from their candidate and losing their warm and fuzzy feelings towards Trump. About time! +Poor people, I feel bad for the family they left behind and for their friends and family, my deepest condolences to their relatives. It was an accident and there was nothing that could be done to preven it, but I hope this serves as lesson to other to be more careful while engaging in that kind of activities. +This is just more violent nonsense from the outrageous middle east. Honestly, I dont care any longer. All these people clutching to one religion or another (often just as a mask for their rage) and killing each other out of tribal animus. It hasnt changed, well, ever. I dont expect it to change now. Its hopeless because people are just ignorant, solipsistic apes. I just cant care any longer about these idiots. Its horrible and tragic but it's all so preventable. +Even though fewer people are crossing this year than in 2015, more people are dying as they try to make the journey.Bodies of migrants in a boat off the coast of Libya in October. At least 29 people died in the incident, all in their 20s.One person out of every 88 has been lost at sea trying to reach the shores of Greece, Italy or Spain. That means they're 90 times more likely to die on the journey than an American is likely to die of gunshot wounds. +Aw, look, I didn't know Pete Burns died. I'm glad he was happy with all his surgeries and his life, even if I wasn't. He was so hot before he did all that, man. Gorgeous voice. Why are all the pretty ones so often the wrong kind of crazy? Now I have to go listen to that song, or it's going to be stuck in my head all day. +Here is an article that pretty much sums up what most people already know about Donald Trump and his campaign platform. This is highlights some of the main points, including his stances on immigration, abortion rights, gun rights, Comey, the Clintons, and a variety of other topics. It's a good refresher. +This is the kind of stuff that happens all over and is always underreported because the perpetrators of such sexual harassment and assaults are protected by their power in society and other powerful people. It was long just an unspoken or open secret that everyone basically knew, but it's good that it's finally coming to light with people willing to speak up, especially the victims. If they didn't speak up, people would go on thinking that this kind of stuff only happens in TV and movies. Art imitates life, and vice versa. +of the 5000 rhinoceroses that remain free in the world have just killed one more. poachers do not respect endangered species. This enrages me and I try to hunt them. the 18-year-old rhinoceros left her baby orphaned. I really hope that stronger measures will be taken for the protection of these species and that their extinction will be avoided. +There are a lot of things in this article that I don't agree with. I don't think that being gay is a mental problem, but I do believe that it is a sin. The only way for people to stop committing this sin is for God to work in their lives. I don't know a lot about conversion therapy, but i'm not so sure that this is the way to go. I also don't believe that trump is anti gay. He hasn't done anything that would make him anti gay. +Michael Moore did it again! The man might not be much to look at, but he continually nails liberals social values with an iron fist. This time it was him predicting Trump's victory in a film, but what next? He is serving as a light post for liberals, trying to wake them up that aspects of the Democratic party are out of tune with the greater American people, but will they listen? Trump won for many reasons, and while he encourages liberals to tell their conservative friends Hillary "won the popular vote," What good will that even do? The time for liberals to get better in-tune with the needs of the greater american conservative public has long since passed... +Salley Jessy Raphael was on the show "Where are they now" with Oprah, she claims she was betrayed by her producers. I remember watching her show in the 80's and 90's. It had become a show like Jerry Springer and she claims she wishes she had spoken up about the direction the show was going. She felt like her staff of 250 people thought she knew the show was going to be canceled in 2002 but she did not know anything about it. She was a strong personality and I think if she wanted to change the direction of the show she could have. Hindsight is twenty-twenty. +Arnold Palmer was really a great and ambitious guy, he really did a momunmental change onnhow today's televesion sports work, and the fact that he died was pretty sadddning to me. I think that the legacy he left behind is amazing, and he will continue to influence us even after his death. I would love to see Arnold Palmer's compnay thrive tremendously over the next couple of decades, and continue to transpire within the people he has influenced in his life. +I can sympathize with what these parents must be feeling. Not because I have raised a pre-teen, but because I can vividly remember that time in my life. Middle school is hard, ugly, and scary. I remember being bullied by girls that I idolized. I was fortunate to have a mother who was very caring and easy to talk to. She sympathized with me without making me feel like a small child who needed my parents to win my battles for me. She would say "That's awful, honey. Now, what are you going to do about it?" +The wildfire burned the field more than 13,300 acres. This is the 75% of agricultural land. The farmers was very sad about the wildfire. Their lands are damaged very highly due to the wildfire. The emergency fire safety team save the 25% of land from the wildfire. This could be very helpful to the farmers. Although, they loss the 75% agricultural land. Even they are did not plant any plants from the burned agricultural land. +Hi friend, I saw this article the other day, and I'm really upset by the behavior of the poachers. They had absolutely no reason to attack this guy. I would like to see the villagers fairly punished for their terrible behavior. Can you give me a hand and pass this along to everybody on your friends list? I know it isn't much, but I think that if we work really hard together, we might be able to get enough support to make sure that the poachers are punished. At any rate, we should at least try to raise the money to help this injured guy. +Hello, dear group. Let's trust in the laws of our country and in truly just judgments. Hopefully the murderer accused of five counts of murder will not be free and quiet in the streets of this country. I hope that justice can compensate a little to the relatives of the victim. After a 24-hour chase the police found the criminal and even though the victims have not been recognized, they will soon discover who they are. +I never knew that bananas were at risk of becoming extinct. Apparently we need to cultivate more varieties, so we do not face another crisis like Cavendish and Big Mike bananas that have succumbed to a fungal disease and almost got wiped out. We are so used to seeing bananas as a common fruit at supermarkets that we never think of not ever eating another one again! I found this article very intriguing, there is so much work that goes into figuring out how to protect this yellow fruit from fungal illnesses and make it more resistant to various dangerous fungal strains.Apparently this presents a great challenge for the scientists but they are hoping to cultivate more banana plant varieties that will be more resistant to various illness. +Wow.. di you see this? Delicia Taylor is suing the makers of this product.. Soft Sheen Carson Optimum Amly Legend No Mix, No Lye Relaxer. She has bald spots, Burns, blisters and pain from using this. Do you know anyone who uses this? If you do have them check out this link. The law suit is for 5 million dollars.. maybe they can get some money.. I think it's terrible that this product was allowed to be sold. It is awful when someone thinks something would make them look nice but instead ends up damaging them for life. Be sure to check the article out.. I think there are some pictures out there too. Brace yourself before you look at them. +Did you hear about the shipwreck in Egypt? Unfortunately it looks like fifty five people have died. It's such a sad story. I feel so bad for the families and that has to be a odd feeling for the 150 or so that survived. So many people swam to save their lives. I would never be able to do that! There were also children on the boat, so that is incredibly sad. I hate that people died and had no chance of survival. +I think it's unfortunate that people are targetting children to join their terrorist communities. It's sad because all these kids have a future but they get wrapped up in this brainwashing stuff. And then people are perfectly fine pinning it on an entire community and that's not fair becuase it really had nothing to do with the community itself and was more of an individuals decision +The Flint, Michigan water crisis is out of control. It seems like there isn't much being done to help them get cleaner water. We need to do everything we can to help them. Children are being hospitalized because of the cities incompetence. No one should have to go without clean water, and because we live in the United States, it's especially true. +You know one thing late Thursday that the Islamic State used a rocket containing mustard gas against U.S. troops in Iraq. The general was addressing leaked news reports that investigators had found a black oily substance on a rocket that landed near the perimeter of the base. Dunford told the committee that investigators had assessed the liquid and found “it to be a sulfur-mustard blister agent.” The news is concerning because this is the first time a chemical weapon has been used against U.S. officials said the Islamic State was using to produce mustard agent and other chemicals for military use. No soldiers were injured in the attack, nor have any shown symptoms of exposure to mustard gas, a weapon banned by the 1925 Geneva protocol after the horrors of World War I. +I don't know about Bayh. I kind of wish he hadn't run again; I'm glad he's not trying again this time. After reading this story, it's hard to feel sympathetic, even in retrospect. But the story confuses me, too. Didn't Bayh used to work for Fox News after he quit the Senate? The story doesn't even mention that. And it talks about how he was working for the banks but also embraced Obama's position on banks, which seem like mutually exclusive things. He didn't do anything great in the Senate, but when he was governor, he saved that lady's daughter's college career. It's all very confusing, but overall, I'm glad he's staying gone. +I don't really like coconuts, I think everyone knows that, but I still think that they play a huge role in our ecosystem. I don't know a lot about coconuts or what role they play in the environment, but they're really important for a lot of economies where they are grown. I think that the article brings up a good point by saying that major companies that sell coconut water should be the ones trying to look for a solution because they are being oversourced due to high demand for their products, so I think that they have a lot of responsibility to try to be the ones to fix this dilemma and solve this coconut crisis. It just makes me worried about the environment overall because I really worry about global warming and I just really worry about the environment in general. +Megyn Kelly during an interview, repeatedly shaking his finger at her and accusing her of being “fascinated with sex” because she brought up allegations of sexual assault against Trump. In a scolding tone, Gingrich tried to tell Kelly which words she could or could not use. Gingrich once had a fascination of his own with Bill Clinton’s sex life, as he was a driving force behind the movement to impeach Clinton following a consensual sexual relationship he had with a young former intern. Clinton became the second president in American history to be impeached by the House, but he was acquitted by the Senate. Voters, meanwhile, punished the Republicans for what they saw as an overreach: The GOP lost five House seats in the 1998 midterm elections, which led to Gingrich’s resignation as speaker. +This sort of story is showing up far too much in the news anymore. It shows a deepening divide of racial tensions in America, which is something I thought we had finally put behind us. That being said, I mean that the racial tension is coming from BOTH sides, not just one side or the other. BOTH sides need to be held accountable for their actions and the divide they are creating in this country. +Sadly this has become common in our society. Blacks are killed by police, and nothing seems to make a difference or matter. I can guarantee that if it was a black cop killing a while person, the outcomes would be entirely different. I dont blame the black community for their anger and dissapointment. I'm angry and dissapointed I cant imagine how they must feel. +I'm saddened to hear the news about his passing. In my experience I believe that comedians get into the field due to an aspect of the desire to help people and give them a few laughs. Don't think I recall his comedy acts but reading through the tributes I get the sense that people liked him alright and that he was a good guy. His tagline is great - "that's not right." As if he internalized a solid sense of right and wrong. So I didn't know his work but I think I like him. +An endangered species of polar bears have seen an increase in the number of them killed by visitors, or hunters. Look at how the people are apparently organizing against the threat to these wonderful, and endangered creatures. I'm not sure if they can turn the tide, there are a lot of bad people out there who hunt for sport, but they can surely slow it down, and that's a good thing. I hope their efforts are strong enough that this wonderful species can be preserved, intact, in their natural habitat. +Lockets with blood? Dang, that is kind of creepy and weird guys, but oh well, they were in love. People do crazy things when they are in love. Now, the fact that this guy never felt enough indicates auto esteem issues, she is not God, dude. I still can not believe Brangelina is over, they were end game to me, but oh well, guess you can not force things. +I just read an article about numerous female athletes that of taking the world by storm. I love hearing about female athletes, however it was frustrating to read an article with so many typos, miss spellings, errors and words that didn’t make sense put together. The article was clearly not proof read before being published where I read it. For such an important topic, proofreading would have been easy. +I think that this is a kind of funny story. I enjoy hearing about escaped animals from the zoo for some reason. If you think about it the zoo is just one big animal jail. I am sure that I would resent the fact of being locked up if I was a wild animal. Some of these animals have never known the difference. +A little animal called the vaquita is an endangered species. Efforts are being made to save the species but many conservation groups do not think these efforts will be successful. They call it "quick fix" intervention. Usually, when efforts are made to conserve a species, the efforts are unsuccessful. Apparently these animals are small porpoises which get trapped in nets. +It is just so messed up that there are so many places in the world without easy access to clean water. The answer is never to privatize or "modernize" the water system of a place, as that is really just an excuse to implement political policies. It is just bizarre that our modern water systems in urban areas are so woefully lacking. Even desert areas of India get enough rainfall each year that a simple catchment system would solve all of a community's problems. +This is a bizarre story. A man bashed a turtles head with a hammer in self defense. He is being held on 5000 bail. The only part of the story I find interesting is that the man dragged the turtle into the middle of the road and left it there. I'm not sure I believe the man. Claiming self defense against a turtle seems crazy. I think the man could of just left the turtle alone and not of been in this situation to begin with. +I think what the father did was a noble gesture. Sometimes justice isn't always served in jail. I think it is a shame that he is being punished for what he did. What is more important however is that the father got his revenge. Sometimes it is necessary to take justice in your own hands. I applaud the father for what he did. +It is extremely upsetting that there is a cultural war going on and no one seems to care. The values of muslims in general are not compatible with western culture. Further more, it is an ideology that promotes violence and terrorism. Until people become less tolerant of this disgusting dogma, things like this will continue to happen. If muslims want to be viewed in a better light in the west, they need to work on reforming their religion from within. +Climate change isn't just about affect the weather negatively for future generations. It apparently will also affect food sources. We may be able to overcome this with our technology and science but will our food turn into frankenfood that could potentially have long term side effects that cannot be seen yet? Underdeveloped countries are especially going to be affected by diminishing crops due to climate change. +I thank God because my sisters were born in USA instead of those countries in the middle east who still believe in male guardianship.Can you imagine a woman seeking permission fro a male figure who is a relative and sometimes a son to acquire a passport?that is so bad.I hope the activists will succeed in helping this women because this is so outrageous. +I'm not a fan of Muslim migrants myself. I find most of Arab culture backwards and antithetical to American values. This is pretty fucked up, though. This article feels like something out of the 1960s. Makes you consider the cyclical and incremental nature of human history. Despite our technological advances we fall prey to the same prejudices and biases again and again. Before we were burning Native Americans, then the Irish, then Blacks, and now Muslims. Human progress at work. +Hey just wanted to write you a note and see if you have been watching the news. They are reporting finding a mass grave near mosul of 100 dead bodies most of them decapitated and some thirty three thousand people that is displaced . that is terrible. We need to do something. The US is setting up service centers families which is a great idea. +The US has done some super shady things. How we treated these people is horrible, and I'm not sure whether I'm more upset or just feel bad for the Americans who went along with it. It sort of reminds me of the SS officers during WWII- like at some point it seems like they all realized what they were doing wasn't kosher and definitely crossing ethical boundaries. Yet they all continued because .... why? I know the whole thing about the military is going along and just obeying orders but what was going on there was seriously seriously messed up. +Reading this article makes me feel sad for many reason. I myself have no idea why those countries are always at war and why so many people are loosing their lives. It also makes me sad to imagine myself in a situation where I am constantly in fear of my life. With so many being lost already it makes me sad to think about these things continually happening. +These people are dumb for voting for him. They can't even tell that he's exploiting their feelings and has no intentions to helping them. He's just taking advantage of the situation for his own gain. They'll find out soon and they'll be the ones who end up suffering most from this. I don't really have too much sympathy for them. +I'm always upset to hear about violence erupting as a result of lives lost due to police action. I believe most police officers are good people, but there is a pervasive issue of racism ingrained in many police departments. The protests were certainly justified. Police should be subjected to psychological testing to determine whether they have an inclination toward racism. Those that do need to be removed from active duty immediately. +You should check out this article. As I was reading I was happy that the injuries were not worse tha n they were. Could you imagine being in any sort of situation like this? It makes me feel bad for people with children, could you imagine letting you r children leave every day and not knowing what could happen to them? +The liberal left has struck again. They continue to react negatively to Trump being president even 18 months after the election. This whole thing about getting an IUD now because Trump will make birth control unaffordable in the near future is ridiculous. Just another issue to get people stirred up. Most Trump supporters are conservative when it comes to economic issues but moderately liberal when it concerns social issues. Big changes in birth control, same sex marriages, abortion, and women’s rights are not going to happen. I would like to ask the haters how their lives have changed for the worse since the election! +Hi, I have learned that Syria’s war escalated abruptly on Friday. Government forces and their Russian allies launched ferocious aerial assaults on Aleppo. Repeated airstrikes destroyed buildings and engulfed neighborhoods, and flames killed about 100 people there. What is gained with this senseless violence? +I knew trump really doesnt' believe fully in the climate change and that it's caused my human actions. I think he's putting this topic on the back burner since there are more important things to concentrate. I have to say I agree with him but at some point during his presidency, it should be looked at and see what kind of changes, if any need to take place, and then make them happen +I hope everyone is ok. I was in a small earthquake and it was extremely scary. A lot of people can die if you don't have safe buildings. I think there should be a major international effort to provide guidance for any nations in an earthquake prone region so that we can do a little bit to prevent more deaths when the earthquakes inevitably hit. +Well, this is frustrating. Not only will the new law not really help, but it doesn't sound like anything will help. It's a good point, about having to get the fishers on board with saving the paquita, but I don't know how to convince them. If it came down to feeding my family or saving a handful of dolphins that are probably going to die out anyway, there's a good chance I'd pick my family. The story's a year or two old -- so once I've finished doing what I'm doing, I'm going to look up the paquita and see what's happened since then. +Hello there. So I just read this disturbing story about a teacher who is involved in child pornography. He is now going to face courts for such a disgusting habit. I think this teacher should really be punished exemplarily so that even those who were thinking of doing it can take notice. This is totally unacceptable in our education system +It's amazing how much destruction two large warring nations can do to such a smaller nation. The Middle East was never in a position of power, they have been fighting for a millenia, but the destruction is much greater now, there has never been weaponry so large and crushing to such a small state nation. It's unbelievable that an entire generation of culture will be separated from their families and can only take what they have learned so far. +Hey, did you read this article? I feel really bad for all who are dealing with these extreme weather crisis. Fires, floods, extreme heat is all getting out of hand and I am praying for everyone who has bee and will be harmed. I pray for a solution. There has to be something that can be done about this, right? +It is very upsetting to hear about a family losing their children in such a freak accident way. As a parent myself I can only imagine the horrible feelings that this family is going through and how everyone must be feeling right now to lose these little girls as such a young age. No one should have to bury their own children, it is just terrible. +More toddlers and preschoolers are overdosing on opioids — In recent years, rates of toddlers and preschoolers hospitalized for opioid overdoses more than doubled, according to a new study. In fact, overdoses rose more than 100% over a 16-year period among all children, the study published in JAMA Pediatrics Oct. 31 showed. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine analyzed national data from the Kids’ Inpatient Database on children admitted to U.S. hospitals for opioid poisoning. The study focused on more than 13,000 records from patients ages 1 to 19 between 1997 to 2012. What's to blame? Possibly the increase of prescribed pain killers, including OxyContin and Vicodin. Research from 1999 to 2010 show retail sales of prescription opioids quadrupled."Even in children younger than 6 years, +Here is an article for you. It's an old one, obviously. I am so sick of Republicans. They are a cowardly, spineless bunch who fall in line behind Trump every time. Let's hope they get a major butt whooping in November. But this article demonstrates how we can't take anything for granted. I remember back then, when all the polls showing wins for Hillary and the Democrats. I haven't trusted the polls since then, and I know you don't trust them either. And who knows what the Russians are going to do this time around? No one has tried to stop them, so why wouldn't they try to interfere in our elections again? We have to keep an eye out and do whatever we can to make sure there's no funny business at the polls in November. +I just read an article about elephants and how they are becoming extinct due to people being more concerned towards their need fr ivory than they are for the precious lives of elephants. I don't understand why people have such little regards for the well being of the elephant species, knowing that they are on the verge of extinction and it upsets me severerly knowing that we are taking them for granted. +Poor orangutan. I hope her treatment is successful and she is able to return to living in the wild, or at least in a zoo. You hear a lot of stories these days about illegal animal trading. Humans need to learn that wild animals are not there for our entertainment and should be kept in their habitats. +I would give these people a life sentence in prison. People who steal from the less fortunate and exploit resources and innocents have no place in our society! They stole from pensioners and investors and blew millions on luxuries and other forms of pleasurable experiences at the expense of people, causing suffering and pain! They should be punished accordingly, a dark cell with a toilet and a meal of prison mush twice a day would serve them just right. It's a typical story about wealthy and elite out there, who always harm the innocents and somehow able to get away and proven "innocent". I would especially show no mercy when it comes to these greedy bankers all over the world. There is absolutely no excuse for their crimes-so much poverty and grief all over the world! +Imagine the excitement of going to a concert and the buildup for days after buying tickets. Imagine that you finally get to see these bands play and all of the sudden you hear gunshots ring out. You see people falling down, dead. How are you supposed to cope with that? How can you get up the next day and feel that this is a world worth living in? +Other story similar to the local news about the killing of a woman I know in town. It always makes me think of the children first. It also makes me wonder how a person could commit such atrocities, especially in front of children. The child that called 911 will no doubt mentally live with that phone call for the rest of their life. Article seem to have been murder, and a middle class home, maybe drug use or robbery gone wrong? What is wrong with the world today? I will certainly hug my children tighter tonight after reading all these articles about murder, grieving children, deaths, worldly disasters and sadness. The world is such an interesting, wonderful yet sad place all at once. I will also say a prayer for those kids and pray and be thankful for mine. +I found this article that was really sad about these divers that they found dead in a Florida cave system. It was so sad. I was really depressed after reading it. Perhaps they shouldn't have gone so far down because there was a sign saying not to, but still, it was very sad that they died. They were experienced and should have survived, but they didn't. I really feel sorry for their friends and family. They will be dearly missed. Please pray for them and their families. +The problem of poaching has become such an epidemic guides in South Africa who use to take hunters on big game safari's are now becoming a different kind of hunter themselves. They've taken up arms in the war on poaching due to the fact it is an outrageous epidemic at this point. Animals like the rhino are on the brink of extinction and poachers don't care. +Yet another reason to have more strict immigration rules. These people know the dangers that they face when they do this, so it is hard to feel very sorry for them. I don't think giving them more information on these dangers will stop them, but patrolling the waters and turning these human traffickers back will. If it is made difficult for these human traffickers to exploit these people, it will happen less often. +I don't know much about cricket but apparently in England it's a very big deal! This one town's team is under the gun to win the championship and needs only 33 more points to pull it off. Can you imagine the pressure of the coach and players??? That must be some fierce competition over there. I wonder if they have as big of a fan base as most of our sports do here in the states? +I feel like Aleppo is a legit war zone right now. You can get killed anywhere at anytime. I feel so sorry about the innocent families and children that are involved and would like other nations to at least help Syria and other Middle Eastern Countries and accept refugees. The thought of losing your child or someone in your family is really disturbing. +The shark attack described was distressing. I'm glad to know that the victim is okay. There is something about shark attacks that seems so unexpected and primal...really frightening. At the same time I can appreciate how people want to protect the natural wildlife in the area. Its a tough call. I know the measures they take will never be perfect. I guess I'm on the fence about what they're doing to protect the sharks. +The war in Syria is one in which the US needs to get out of. We have no reason to be involved there, and staying involved will just risk the war expanding and making the region worse off. We need to get out, like, yesterday. Also, we are wasting billions on this that could be used for universal healthcare and increasing the minimum wage. +Our system has failed us once again and continues to fail us daily. The idea that a foster care system allows for brothers to be split apart that came in together in insane. It's strange to me that we treat human life as if it is less than important. I wish that people would wake up from the old-world ideals and behavior. Thanks to the 20th century and the advent of film as a story-telling mechanic, we have the ability to be able to share stories with each other on a bigger level. I can't believe that it's 2018 and we still operate as if it's 1400 a.d. I am disgusted by our modern culture and our governmental system. It's all a sham. We are slaves. +The article I read was about the disparity in responsibility for birth control between men and women. A new male birth control was rejected as having too many side effects on men, when options available to women have far more and more severe side effects. The article mentioned that birth control for women revolutionized lives so much that the side effects were deemed acceptable, but men are not accustomed to ceding convenience for responsibility, are used to women taking control in this area. +this article about people targeting muslims is sickening. One lady's clothes were set on fire! Who does that?! Another lady was with her 15 month old child and was punched in the face :( It makes me so sick that hate going on in todays world. I understand that there are terrorists and some are muslims. But that does not mean we should say that every muslim should pay the price. +This is absolutely awful. I can't even imagine the amount of pain the victim had. The only suspected motive was after Comunale rejected the sexual advances of one of the men inside the apartment? Really? That's not a good reason at all to kill someone. How dare he. What a tragic story this is, and it makes me heart churn just trying to think of the robbed life that was taken. +I think most people would be disturbed about how animals are treated before they are slaughtered and used for meat. I feel like aside from clearly inhumane treatment, it should be expected that killing an animal for food isn't exactly going to be the most pleasant process for the creature. I'm not particularly surprised that the method of stunning chickens has a failure rate. +Wow, this is terrible! I know a lot of you use L'Oreal products. You should read this. It has to do with a woman getting awful burns from using their products. She's going to sue the company. I think we should support her. No company should get away with this. It's a horrible reaction and it's just plain terrible what she has to go through. +I'm not sure what can be done but global warming is affecting us in many other areas then the ones we have seen and heard. Did you know our coffee crops are in danger of being wiped out? That's right, I just read this article detailing the struggles currently going on with coffee crop farmers. There is an intense struggle at the moment for them to maintain their crops and to keep them going. The warm temperatures have really threw a wrench into their day to day operations and maintaining the coffee crops has become quite a challenge. We are in danger of either paying really high prices on coffee or worse case scenario being without coffee period. This is very distressing for me. Can you imagine not having our cup of coffee daily to get us through the days? This is truly tragic. +It's ridiculous that those talk shows of daytime tv moved on to be more like soap opera's. They could have done alot of good for their fans, but then it just became more of a cheap laugh. The people that lost their jobs on Sally Jesse Raphael had families they supported. After being told the show would be renewed, it was a harsh blow to find out that wasn't the case. I feel for those that were put out of work. +Ugh. That's rough. I feel so bad for that little girl and she deserves to live in a world where justice is made, but that eye-for-an-eye type justice is so medieval. The guy obviously deserves a very harsh punishment, but this is barbaric. This is the difference between revenge and justice. A 20-year prison sentence makes so much more sense than blinding. +We need to destroy the system that allows these things to happen. Capitalism that reinforces these disgusting habits must be destroyed utterly and the Christian religion should be wiped out in its entirety. There is no excuse for this kind of repulsive behavior that drives people to abuse these children. +I don't know why is that the people was injured. But what a horrible new, I know that this kind of incidents perturb a lot to the citizen of that country. Powerful nations need to create associations to defend those countries that suffer from the injustice. Some countries around have leaders that abuse from their people. This kind of situations must be investigated and punished by an international organism. +I just read an article on how many civilians are killed by airstrikes by NATO forces. This is a major issue because the mainstream media never report these stories. The media only paints NATO as the good guys and never in a bad light. They can commit acts that can be deemed a war crime but as long as they are the authority they do not need to be accounted for. +I always feel soft hearted when I read about the holocaust. To imagine going through that experience and just knowing that there are people that evil makes me angry and sad. But to see people try to make something positive out of something so negative makes me happy. Also I feel that it's so great to remember those who died without ever living their lives. +I think that this is really sad. It seems to be something that is ingrained in all humans. I am thankful that it mostly just effects children, but it seems kind of hopeless that we will ever fully solve this problem. I think the only real way is for adults to be consistently vigilant and make sure that we are not ignoring the kids that this is effecting. +As someone who works in healthcare I have not encountered THIS type of thing yet, but everyone has an embarrassing story and while the ER may have not seen the exact same thing, they've likely seen crazier, just own it and GO IN. you can always tell people about your own embarrassing experience in third person, much better than losing a limb, organ or your life. +It's about time somebody stood up to Mexico. We are being flooded with mexicans and immigrants flooding over the border. It's an invasion as far as I'm concerned. I could go into detail about all the negatives it causes. But what I am sick of is every time we want to do something about it, all the naysayers and doomsdayers through NAFTA and Trade and economics in our face. I get it we made some dumb deals in the past that have lead to bad consequences, but we elected Trump to take a new direction. Mexico will have to get their act together too, I'm sick of them acting like saints everytime we want to take an action. +‘Silicon Valley’ stars recount being harassed by Donald Trump supporters — “Silicon Valley” stars Kumail Nanjiani and Thomas Middleditch both took to Twitter Saturday morning to recount their experience being harassed by two Donald Trump supporters in a Los Angeles bar. “Was at a bar last night with @Middleditch. At the end of the night, 2 white dudes, 20’s, who’d been there for hours came up to us,” Nanjiani began, adding that they said they were fans, but thought they were “wrong about Trump.” “I go ‘Hey we don’t wanna discuss politics right now.’ His friends goes ‘oh they’re cucks.’ +People are still talking about Hillary Clinton....which is sooooooooo old news...she lost fair and square and people just need to get over it.......She lost to Trump, which means we definitely didn't want her as our president. She and everyone else needs to stop blaming everything and everyone else.........Lets all just do each other a favor and just pretend she never happened and just let her retire in silence. +And another shooting of a black man by a cop. While most of the time, I feel that the shooting is justified, with the evidence presented, I definitely think this needs to go to a jury for a decision. I agree that she should have been trained for this scenario, but no one knows exactly what their emotions will be in a situation like this one. It was a domestic violence call, which are extremely dangerous for police officers. But I don't understand why less than lethal methods weren't deployed first. +I think it's hard to determine things like this unless the entire program in each community is being monitored. If not, the money spent versus the number of children being taught or learning from this process is hard to determine. I do think that connecting the schools is important though and that children should be learning computers, but by the time they're in the workplace, the jobs may have changed. +This is just disgusting. I cannot believe that this is happening to people. Why are people afraid to go to the doctor? there is no reason for this. I am numb to all this madness and I cannot believe I am writing about a man's penis right now. I cannot find any excuse for this and people need to be educated about the healthcare system so they are not so afraid of it. +Hey, I saw your post about people harming the environment and I definitely agree with you. Just take a look at this article - it talks about how foods are being wasted and it can potentially harm the environment. Since so many people do not care about the environment or do not know the effects of harming the environment, how about you and see set up some program that would help improve the environment? +An animal center did not take care of animals properly. There was complaints by an employee about horrid conditions that the owner did not do anything about. Animal centers are not regulated so the owners do whatever they want without consequences. Dogs died of heat exhaustion because they were not supervised and did not have proper ventalation in a room known to get vey hot. +Trump is president get over it snowflakes. People still complaining about him being president need to shut the fuck up and just accept it like a big boy or girl. Things happen and there isnt anything they can do about it. All i see are big ass babies that need something to whine about . Forming lines across roads interferring with peoples lives is just childish and people need to grow up and take off those damn diapers +I really liked this guys music. It's hard to feel too sad though. He lived a full and excellent life. His music will live on for generations and there is every bit of the chance that he will never be forgotten. It is not bad to live to 80. many others live far shorter lives and some peoples existence seems as meaningless as a fart in the wind. +I felt very bad when read these kinds of news. For me, it is vital to protect women and kids. I think they are vulnerable than men. The society should give more protect to them. I really feel pity for the girls who had suffering like that. I hate those bad people that did all these crimes. They should be punished. +Kind of cool that researchers have found that bonobos tend to become farsighted as they age, which is quite similar to humans. They also observed their grooming practices. Some even take turns grooming one another, which is pretty cool. The article was extremely hard to read and understand, especially with it being written in one giant block, so those are really the only key points I got from it. +This article held some very valid views that I have been trying to explain for years. The hypocrisy that America generates is overwhelming and others can see this too. We are holding ourselves so high up as a free country meanwhile a black man can not even get pulled over without having a white man pulling a gun on him. +This area has been devastated by natural disasters and it appears to only be getting worse. I can't believe the amount of disasters that appear to be concentrated in one place, and the resilience that the citizens have shown to survive. I also can't believe the looting and break-ins that have been reported in the area, what kind of people steal from those in need? +It is disturbing to me that people in the US are not starting as many small businesses and the number of entrepreneurs is falling. I think it's because of all the government regulations and red tape that makes it difficult for a small business to start up and compete. It's also of concern that US workers are stressed about job security. +Hey man can you believe that again the sea ice is at its lowest level again! I just read an article on it and It seems like it keeps going lower and lower. I feel really worried for animals that depend on the sea ice, polar bears I think really need it. Plus I read how it can have a really bad impact on our climate because the ice reflects so much of the sun's energy without it even more heat from the sun gets in and doesn't get reflected. Definitely something to watch and worry about. +How could someone treat such an intelligent creature so horribly. You'd think by now people would figure out that we don't have any superior right to health and happiness over other animals on Earth. You'd think people would be too ashamed of the CHANCE of getting caught acting like this to actually have the audacity to treat another living creature so despicably. +Wow. Here we go again, I guess???? A couple of years ago that area in Tennessee was completely devastated by uncontrollable wildfires. Many people lost their lives and their homes. Many businesses were also destroyed. I hope this fire wasn't like that one. A group of kids who were playing with matches in the woods set it on fire. They fled the area and told no one +Hello Friend how are you? How are your children behaving? I do not understand much about politics but now the President of this country and that of Ruisa joined forces when fighting against Syria. They called Syria as the first threat and classified it as terrorists. I really do not understand what is the reason for so much hearing and what was the initial problem. I know that there are many good people in Syria, so it makes me think that many people died when the President of Russia bombed Syria. Many good people die. I consider that the war does not solve anything, it has not done it before and neither will it now. +All the unrest in the Middle East has me really concerned with my son being deployed over there. There's so much going on in Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries and I'm so worried he will end up right in the middle of it all. Please say a prayer that he is safe over there and that nothing bad happens while he is there! +Hello friends I have just read an article about these people from egypt that were on a boat and then they got shipwrecked I think. The recent scientist of the earth have no found the evidence about the ship and the bodies and are beginning to make ideas up about the people. They said that the people were on the ship and I forgot why or what they were doing but it is still a little bit interesting. The article was very long and hard to read though. +I am not sure if you saw that Fernandez is dead. That is really going to impact the Marlins. I didn't know all that he went through as a child to get to America. It is sad when someone with such light and hope is killed either in an accident or by some jealous fan. I know he was really important to a lot of people. I am glad they decided to cancel the Braves game. Nobody is really going to be focused enough to play anyway. +Hey i just saw this post and this is so sad that the kids in venezuela do not have neough to eat can you beleive that some kids only eat a smll meal for one whole day instead of three full course meals i can not even belueve that what is happening o the world where we arw more concered about putting money inot guns and creating ar when we have bigger issue son our hnads such as te hunger that these people are suffering and there kids so many kids are sudfering and even fainting +While reading the article, I did not really care too much about the protests made by people in South Korea against their President mainly because it is in South Korea and not here in America. Although I didn't really have much concern for the article I just read, I hope that these protests will end in South Korea. +Do you hear about that teacher that body-slammed a student and now the student lost his leg? Understand kids can be so wild and disrespectful why would you body slam a child? That was my child I'd be furious and that individual should be very fearful of his consequences for putting their hand so roughly on my child regardless of what the reason was. +Apparently an actor was found dead in a Talk show host's home. Not sure what occurred but you have to feel sorry for those close to them. I certainly don't want to be negative and assume that demons finally caught up with him or an assault of some sort occurred but it is odd and they clearly have family who lost a loved one. It a shame that someone with talent to entertain and act would lose their life at a younger age and I guess it could be any of us but it's sad foor thoose who knew him and my heart goes out to them. +I heard about a rock climber who died in Vietnam trying to scale it's highest mountain. I remember we've talked about going on vacation there. Sadly it was a young guy, 22, not much younger than us. It's a really tragic story because he was on the trip with his girlfriend and when it went off on his own he became lost. In his final moments they were actually in contact through texting. +the reports of officers being killed just because they are police officers is obsurb. Police officers all get a bad reoutation because you got some dumbass officer that kills someone they had no right killing and all officers are tagged as murderers and corupt. officer are here to protect and serve you and keep you safe +Hey, This is some sad news. The rhino couldn't be saved from his infectious diseases, so he had to be put down. I feel bad for the animal as he or she didn't have to live this way. In addition, it was difficult to find treatment for the rhino, so I feel bad for the veterinarians that had to take care of the rhino. +Well here is another story about the dangers of selfies. I'm mystified by this "fad" of selfies. I have never even thought about taking one. But maybe thats just my age or generation. Anyhow another idiot taking a selfie got attacked by a snake. Seems like selfie taking affects the brain or at least the part of brain. I have heard about people getting in fatal car crashes while taking selfies, and falling off a cliff, and being fatally attacked by bears, lions, etc etc. Now a python. +A guy named Collins was charged with stealing nude celebrity photos and videos. While his behavior is clearly unacceptable, one thing to note is the article is calling this a hack. Hacking and nothing is safe, not you, not yours, not your loved ones, is kind of a way to make people afraid and keep reading. In reality, this guy just kinda sent an email to these celebrities and said hey i need your password this is google from google, hurry its an emergency and they fell for it. I feel bad for them, we've all been tricked at least once in our lives by something on the internet, but it isn't like this guy cracked the security of google and we're all doomed. +This is a terrible story. In a way, I feel happy that the child no longer has to suffer. Had the child lived he would be mess for the rest of his life. I am just angry at the mother. This is what happens when a state has weak laws. She is only facing 15 years for what she did. She should be given the death penalty. I am disgusted with the legal system. Thank God I don't live in California. +This person's actions were way over the top! While I may not necessarily like that Trump is in office but I still respect the fact that he is where he is. Just because I didn't get my way doesn't mean that I would act like this! This person took away from others and should be punished for what they did. +When he was born, my son tested for elevated lead levels in his blood, and we don't live near Chicago. We were more than a bit scared, and tried to help him learn not to stick things in his mouth. Lead damage is not reversible, and we lived in an old house. To think that every day people are drinking water with as much lead as indicated is a bit disturbing - and it's not going to be cheap to fix. +I would find it hard to believe that the students are still alive if they were handed over to the drug cartel. If these students were on a trip to hijack vehicles, then law enforcement should not use their time and resources to search for them, especially after 2 years. Their time should be spent on non-criminals. But if they believe the police are the ones who handed them over to a drug cartel, then they should probably look into that then using these same people to locate them. +The filthy scourge known as child slavery is rearing its ugly head again, this time in Myanmar. The United Nation's has estimated somewhere around one million Burmese children have had to stop going to school and start finding jobs. And trying to find a job is where in the trouble lies, it's very heart breaking for the families but with little other choice what can they do? +I don't believe this at all. I think people are overreacting to the news that Trump was elected president. There are always bad apples out there, no matter who the president is. To blame this on the president, right after he was even elected, is wrong. Give the guy a chance and get over it and try to make something positive of this. +Reading this article makes me upset. I hate what we do to native people. It seems as a society we seem to ignore their feelings and traditions just to move ourselves forward. We forget that we intruded onto their land to make ourselves homes that we enjoy yet we can't offer them the same good feeling. To even think that the option of having dangerous amounts of mercury seep into the waters is beyond me. +What are we going to do, start collecting cow farts? That sounds like a good job to me. I bet the benefits are good. I guess the liberals will try to blame meat eaters for this some how. I mean, maybe we can develop some kind of methane collection system and then use the cow farts to power the world. Talk about renewable energy! +It seems wind turbines are killing a lot of birds. In particular the golden eagle which is an endangered species, I believe the article said. I don't understand why they don't cage in the turbine blades like they do with house fans. I mean it sucks bird kind everywhere, but it's either the turbine or toxic smog. +I think if someone is going to take on that responsibility in raising cattle they should at least know what they are doing. This guy, Bundy, does not care for them. They hardly have food or water. They get no interaction so when they do need to round them up, they're mean. That should be illegal. I'm suprised he has not been caught yet. He is very lucky because when he get caught he will regret not taking proper care of them. +I hate the conflict that is happening here. I feel for the three soldiers that died and their families. I guess I'm too much of a pacifist but I really wish that people could realize that this level of conflict is a waste of resources and lives. However, I also know that this isn't how the world works. +I can't believe just how much manipulation went on behind the scenes of Donald Trumps campaign. I feel like we will never know the true extend of how corrupt his whole deal was. First you hear about all these huge collections of data and then you get the idots who defend him about climate change being fake. +Well, this certainly is rich and pathetic. The Muslims and their terrorist mouthpiece Council on American-Islamic Relations are all whiny that someone tried to do to them what they have been doing to everyone else all over the world. Never hear a word out of them when they're blowing up cars and shooting up innocent people in the streets do you? +This article is so alarming. The fact that many Indonesians aren't safe in their own home country is very distressing. A lot of people can't afford to leave, so they're stuck risking their lives because of this haze, which is nothing that they can do anything about. A lot of innocent people are getting a raw deal, here. +I think justice has been served one way or another. This person seemed like a danger to society. I think it's only right they should meet their end in this fashion. People like this should be removed from society before they do something that will hurt others. I feel bad for anyone who was in danger from this mad man. +Hi there. I just read an article and I feel like I need to share my thoughts on it. It was about an oil spill!! Oil spills are so upsetting. I feel so sorry for all the ocean life and animals that are affected and WILL be affected! It's so tragic. I wish we could prevent these from ever happening again. +Even though I am not in favor of the conservative party, I still do not understand why the Jewish people would be struggling to understand "Trump's electron". It is not a one party election so at some point or another the Democratic or the Republican party will be in the white house. There will always be naysayers on either side. Everyone everywhere do need prayers and I do appreciate the prayers from the Jewish community. +I could not help but think of my and my son would we be in a similar situation. I know my son is much younger and the situation would be very different, but part of me can feel the water as we are swimming to get safe. I can see myself looking back to be sure that he is still with me, maybe reaching back to try to pull him closer. It is a very intense thought. +The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different. I realize, ‘Wow, I really thought that I was so brave and so gracious this entire time and really I was just hiding.’” Handler, whose mom died of breast cancer in 2006, got choked up during the emotional interview. “Don’t cry! Don’t cry!” Doherty told the talk show host as Handler tried to hold back tears. “Well, I mean, all right — hold on a second,” Handler, 41, said, while tilting her head back to keep the tears from streaming down her face. “This was very hard and not humbling — because I’ve already been humbled by cancer,” Doherty then continues. “It was hard in the sense of rethinking sort of who you are and how you come to terms with who are now an +Hey just wanted to write you a quick note. I saw on the news today a women pushed another women into the train tracks at the midtown manhattan subway station yesterday. What is going on with people? The police didnt have a motive yet. The authorties said approx 24 people per year are killed on the tracks but its usually accidental. +Death to all cops! We cannot allow the police force to continue existing. They are nothing more than government sanctioned mass murderers that exist to protect White capitalist interests by slaughtering hundreds. We must deceively destroy the police as a concept without any hesitation or remorse. All police are our enemies! There are no good cops! +I read an article about a young mother-to-be who lost her twins, prematurely, after being shot in the stomach. It really raises a good question for me and a lot of people, which is: when do we consider a life to begin? As for me, I consider life to begin when a human takes his or her first breath. Possibly a religious thing, I guess -- my parents and grandparents and entire family believed the same. But because there is no unified belief system as to this issue, I find it difficult to form an opinion as to how people should be prosecuted when a fetus is harmed. I really wish there were one answer to this problem. +It disgusts me that this leak occurred, there should have been a better contingency plan to stop all of those gallons oil from spilling. I feel so bad for the environment and the animals who well be negatively affected by this spill. I feel compassion for the people who rely on the oil, and now have to pay inflated prices and search for gas. +There's something terrifying about being attacked by animals. It's even more horrifying to find out the animals that are attacking you are the ones you think are so cute and adorable. I just read an article about squirrels attacking a retirement home and injuring three elderly. It must have been so terrifying for them to encounter this event. Imagine going out to feed the squirrels like you usually do and in turn get attacked by these rabid critters! It's so shocking and I'm still shaking after reading this. They had to call in the ambulances and animal control to help the situation out. This is tragic. The bites from the attack could lead to rabies and other diseases. I feel troubled thinking about this because these elderly can't really react quick enough in these situations. +These are problems that US solider had to deal with for many year. Hell, you could even go back much, much further if you want to. War is hell, and it can--and often does--do a ringer to your psyche and overall mental health. That's why we as a society need to pump more resources into mental health as we do physical health. +I just read this article about a murder suicide. This couple, their three kids, and their dog were all dead from gunshot wounds. They even shot the dog. :( The family seemed really normal. They had some issues with stress and the relationship, but who doesn't? It's really eerie that people can be like that and you won't even know it. +I really think everyone should read this article. This story shows perfectly how damaging and dangerous guns can be to all people on both sides of the law. This is why this country needs to make it harder for everyone to be able to obtain a gun. This is especially true to those who have been involved in domestic and sexual abuse incidents. +I think its fine that people protest. I dislike president Trump as much as those protesters. But what they are doing its wrong. They cant be destroying property or been a menace for other people. Guys, do it peacefully, that's the best way to do things, otherwise you will get arrested and in trouble. +I think that it would a great thing if all students could get connected to the internet. The internet will provide them ways to learn more and it will help them further their education as well. I think that President Obama's plan for the internet should have really worked better to so that all students can have an opportunity to use computers anytime that they want to. +this article is about As part of its fight against childhood obesity, the organization of nations has called on Member States to introduce restrictions on advertising of aforementioned products on all platforms including the internet. In 2012 in Europe, said the WHO, children use ‘digital media’ for nearly two hours daily on weekdays. And on weekends, they’re online an extra half an hour longer. Internet use is increasing sharply, the organization added, and the trend covers all age groups. Hidden junk food ads online For starters, Google, Facebook and YouTube are the sites with most daily visits online. Meanwhile, Android and iPhone (iOS) are the top platforms on hand-held communication devices, and they also have advertisements via applications. +a 6.4 magnitude on the richter scale earthquake hasshaken up the whole capital of santiago, chile. chile is very propense to earthquakes and natural disasters. we have heard of an earthquake that scaled out to be 8.8 and destroyes over 200 thousand homes in chile. i feel very bad for the people who died. and send out my compassion to the family of the 55 dead in this earthquake. +Just read an article that explored Trump's appeal and why he won the election. It indicated that Trump had a simple appeal to the darker side of people, the look out for myself and not others side, it explored Trump's ability to partner with those that are hurting and feel left out of society through lack of jobs, etc. He used this association to promote his agenda, with simple phrases that were easy to remember, and tailored it to the good old boy network. The article didn't really explore Russia's influence on the election, only addressed Trump's appeal to certain groups. +Boring. I don't care, again, because it doesn't impact me or anyone I know directly. These people should move. I sure as hell wouldn't stay there. I do find it hilarious that this is happening in California, where they seem so concerned about every possible social issue under the sun, especially taking care of people who are here illegally, yet there are parts of the state where actual citizens can't drink the water like they're living in a third world nation. Then again, given Commiefornia's stated desire to secede, they might get to live their third world dream. +Reading about atrticles like this in a country i dont care about has no meaning to me. Im lower class worker in the USA. This kind of stuff makes no difference in my life because i struggle to even feed my kids. People facing hardship in other coutries is there problem not mine and i have no real feeling towrds those people +I cannot believe there is someone evil enough in this world to torture a poor, helpless kitten this way. Did you read this article? The kitten was wrapped so tightly, it's little legs were close to it's face. It made me cry. It is horrifying to think people that are capable of this exist. Anyone that does this is a true psychopath. What will they do next? Murder young children? Anyone that is that cruel to animals should be punished. Please share. We have to raise awareness. +I just read an article about U.S. soldiers being killed in Jordan. This is tearing my heart out and I can't get the images of what must have happened out of my mind. You know that I was in the military myself and it makes it that much harder on me. I can't begin to imagine how the families of these soldiers must feel. From what I read, apparently this was an accident and the soldiers were shot when they failed to stop at the checkpoint going into the base. The base was already on alert due to a previous car bomb attack. I'm guessing that they felt they couldn't take any chances on it being another car bomber and went ahead and shot at the vehicle. It's so sad. It's bad enough that these brave men have to face dangers from the enemy, but when they get taken down by friendly fire? +This article was very interesting but also written a little strange. It was about a wolf who had wondered off from the pack. The wolf was a protected wolf part of a group being protected by some biological organization. Had a tracking monitor on him and his life was largely documented. I guess he wondered from the pack looking to mate. Well the government, federal government, killed the wolf by a sniper person and its caused a big uproar. Kind of weird but I guess that is a thing. +Gosh, another article about the Middle East and terrorists. This was is pretty much like the one I ready earlier. Things never get better. The terrorists won't even allow people to leave the city they're holding, to try and reach the Iraqi army nearby who could help them. Maybe the UN needs to step in and do something. +Bankia a banking company in Spain had their board members spend unauthorized private money from the bank on hotels, entertainment food, and other luxuries. All this was spent from credit cards used by the bank itself. The spending was unauthorized and not reported to the tax authorities at all. Bankia was already in the limelight already due to being bailed out by the government in 13 million dollars. +I just read an article about leprosy found in squirrels. It is kind of scary to think about what diseases can be lurking in other animals that we are not even aware of. I worry enough about this kind of stuff as it is, and now I just have more to worry about when I leave the house. Sometimes I think that ignorance is bliss. It makes me want to just stay inside. +Like I have said before and will say it till I am blue in the face. I hate Donald Trump. He is not progressing the United States of America forward. He says his new slogan is Keep America Great, well, buddy, you got to make it great in the first place. He is one racist, misogynistic, egotistical liar and cannot wait till he leave, however way. +I didn't realize that a dam could cause so much problem. It is a shame that the people who are going to be impacted the most are the indigenous people. I don't understand how people feel it is okay to do this to them. Maybe there are many pros that I just don't know about and this article is focusing only on the negative of the methylmercury. I guess this goes to show that we as a human race can affect the environment in maybe a not so good way. What do you think about this? I am curious what you have to say about this. +I just read a very interested and heart touching article concerning Haiti. It is very sad to think about the amount of suffering the Haitian people have gone through in the past years. A lot of very sad hardships, from Earthquakes destroying already terrible infrastructure, to intense poverty. It makes me want to help the people. +Why do people do this. I would really hope that people did not take their own life, but if you are going to take your own life, why take other people's lives with yours? Why would you kill your own children, I do not know what kind of pain this man was going through, but I do not believe he should have taken that pain out on his children. I wonder how we can prevent this from happening. Are there early warning signs that we can spot? Did he ask for help in his life? I just really feel sorry for the children, they never got to live nowhere near a full life. +The story about what is going on currently in Venezuela is devastating. It is almost haunting and definitely disturbing. The economic crisis that is happening there is not only affecting people, but also the animals that live there. Especially in the zoos. We don't often let how a crisis in countries can affect animals cross our minds, we typically only think of the people. Not only is directly affecting the animals in the way that they are being fed diets that are drastically different from they should be consuming, but the people there are having to hunt animals that we would not typically deem acceptable. Such as cats, and dogs, and even going as far as to steal horses from racetracks simply to eat them, or to feed them to animals at the local zoos. Many animals have suffered for weeks. +Hey, I was just reading an article about that house fire that happened in WV. Can you imagine the tragedy? That is such a horrible way to die. And to think that two of the victims were children plus their dog. It makes me ill just thinking about it. Such a huge loss for that family and the community. I hope officials find out soon what caused it and I pray for the friends and family of those who were killed. So sad! +There has been more fighting from the Saudis in nearby Yemen. The United States continues to supply the Saudis with weapons and intelligence, despite the atrocious use they will be put to. These war crimes seem to be increasingly commonplace, yet the US continues to pursue the almighty dollar in supporting Saudi Arabia. +I just read an article blaming Donald Trump and his campaign for hate crimes against Muslims rising. It was your typical propaganda that the media pushes on you - you know, fear mongering mixed with unsubstantiated nonsense. It mentioned the supposed "Muslim ban" that Trump was responsible for. At that point, I lost interest in the article as it was 100% clear what the agenda was. +So, I had to read an article about somebody named Kylie Jenner, and evidently she has some sort of makeup line or something. Anyway, evidently she must be popular for some reason, because people are making counterfeit cosmetics and selling them as her brand. She put out some message about how you should only buy direct from her website. I guess a sucker is born every minute. +I was reading an article about the Zika virus. It was a fairly comprehensive article that went over what the virus was and how it affects humans. It's scary how it can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. I still don't think I have any serious chance of contracting the virus fortunately. Those that have are going to have a hard time in life. +I just read about an old couple that died while out in the water. Apparently they may have had some kind of health conditions, but nobody really knows. The people who checked the bodies think it was probably heart attacks that killed them. Anyway, it's really scary to think that at any given moment our hearts can just stop working and then we are gone forever. +What a terrifying ordeal that these plaintiffs went through. If I was them, I would be suing whoever was responsible, too. I try to avoid putting myself into situations like these, but life often does not care what you want. I hope that these people get the closure that they are seeking. I know I would want closure. +If you are using trumps name to make him look bad is not the answer here. I know that trump is not being a good president right now but lets not discredit his success. Somebody burned a church that is not related to Donald Trump at all, lots of Families go to that church. I think someone used this attack as an attack to Donald Trump because he is not affiliated with this and makes people look like he caused this +It is disturbing that one person’s views (such as President of the USA) can be so disruptive to people’s lives. The situation with the immigrants from Mexico and the idea of building a southern border wall is upsetting to me. President Trump policy and views are disruptive to the whole economy of Mexico, causes political tension and instability, not to mention the extreme uncertainty in the lives of Mexican immigrants in USA, who already have hard lives here. +Did you know that Saudi woman needs a man's approval for like everything? To work, to rent a flat, to get medical treatment. What is really sad is that even if she is widowed sometimes HER SON is asked for permission. There is a protest going on right now to get them to be able to be their own guardians after a certain age. I am very proud of these woman for fighting for their rights. I hope I get to read another article at a later date saying some kind of law was passed to let them have their own rights. +I feel so bad for Val, he is battling this disease and people are dwelling on the fact he may die soon. I think Douglas cares for Val,however,he should not make public comments regarding Val's condition, that is very intrusive to Val, and I feel anger towards Michael for being so rude and invading towards Val's condition. +Major Issue: "Study: More toddlers and preschoolers are overdosing on opioids — In recent years, rates of toddlers and preschoolers hospitalized for opioid overdoses more than doubled, according to a new study. In fact, overdoses rose more than 100% over a 16-year period among all children, the study published in JAMA Pediatrics Oct. 31 showed. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine analyzed national data from the Kids’ Inpatient Database on children admitted to U.S. hospitals for opioid poisoning. The study focused on more than 13,000 records from patients ages 1 to 19 between 1997 to 2012. What's to blame? Possibly the increase of prescribed pain killers, including OxyContin and Vicodin. " Really? Try doped up irresponsible parents who leave it lying around in the first place. +Hey, this is one reason I don't get on rides at amusement parks anymore. They are not reliable and they freak me out thinking that they are going to break. I got stuck on a roller coaster one time and I hated it. I was scared out of my mind. That was the last time I ever got on a ride. I'm not putting myself though that again no matter how fun the rides used to be. That must have been a horrible death for those people. +It's very upsetting to me that people feel they still need to poach elephants and rhinos just for their ivory. It's a species that you are making extinct here. Why are people not trying to control or help the situation more? There has to be some kind d of co trolling standards for the extinction of the rhino and elephant. I believe I saw something not that long ago that actually painted the tusks and got s of elephants and rhinos that permantely stained them so the poachers work not beable ti use the ivory. They stained them a pink or blue color. We should try and regulate that and do that so no one will kill these animals. If that's possible. +I would feel absolutely horrible to be in any of these parents shoes, I feel like they probably think they are completely lost, anxious, deserted. I would be a complete mess. I dont know exactly what i would do in that situation. I feel like the chaces are good neough for them to try for that second baby but i do inderstand them not wanting to rry because of the small chances of the other one having the zika virus anyways. +These are the headlines that I have to read these days! I just can't believe all of the horrid news that is taking over our lives lately. And now we have to worry about when our men and women go out to train, that this kind of thing can end of happening at the drop of a hat. So, who is responsible after this? Who helps the children now without parents? Who pays for everything surrounding their funerals, and all of the costs after that? +It really doesn't make since to me that someone would come to America and then carry out terrorist attacks. I would think they would stay in their own country if they hated this one so much. So I really wonder who the supposed terrorist are. The news media and government would have to do a better job explaining why the "terrorist" are carrying out these attacks because the reasons that they give doesn't make much sense to me. It just creates even more questions than answers. +i just read an article about a father who killed his daughter's adoptive grandfather because he had molested her and got off with a light sentence. its crazy. i mean, i can see why he would snap, if you can call it that, but.. i dont know. my feelings are all over the place. if someone hurt my kids i could see imagining killing tyhem, but i doubt i could acct on it. and there are all these people cheering his actions. like he has this weird fan club for doing it. his life is ruined, his daughter is a mess dealing with the guilt of it all, someone is dead. and it said on the way to kill the old man, he shot at an old boyfriend of hers he suspected was abusive. idk, maybe the heat of the moment since he already decided he was going to jail for murder. just such an emotional read +Hey, I think you should be careful around the Canonsburg area next time you visit Pennsylvania. The crime has been increasingly more dangerous within the past few years. According to this article that I read online, a police officer was shot to death and another police officer was injured in an ambush. I feel that if you were to come down to visit the area, then there would be something similar happening to other people. Ambushes, riots, and shootings are all problems occurring in the area. I feel bad for this city as it has a chance to redeem itself as a great city; however, with all the criminal activities happening, it makes it difficult to do that. +It's always sad to hear of entertainers, especially comics, losing their spark because of dementia. I wasn't really a Monty Python fan myself but I've heard a lot about them growing up and it seems that they were a great deal of fun for their fans. I know they influenced and produced some favorite comics of mine. +I've noticed there is a lot of disasters going on in the world. It is scaring me a little. I think that us humans have fault for that. This world cares way to much about money. If we didn't care to much about money we would have less problems going on. I honestly feel this world is coming to an end. I don't see any improvements or feel there is going to be any improvements. There is more natural disasters, new diseases, obesity, cancer more and more people are dying. So many people need mental help a lot of us are very depressed and anxious. I think it is very important for us to stay closer to god. +A Jordanian writer was shot and killed outside of a courthouse due to a cartoon he posted mocking ISIS. It's amazing that someone could be persecuted for mocking a terrorist organization who rose to fame by killing people and causing civil unrest. What reasonable country would prosecute someone for this? +This article reminds me of an incident that happened when I was a teenager. My stepdad worked at a power plant and there was some small explosion and three people died. One of them was the father of a guy I knew from school. I had heard his head was crushed. It was very disturbing imagery and it has stuck with me since. I worry about my husband working in a dangerous job, too, but it seems generally a lot of guys working in these places aren't following safety rules and that's how the accidents happen. +I just read this crazy article about Wells Fargo that I thought I would share with you. It turns out that low level employees were signing people up for products and things that they did not need. Sometimes they were even forging signatures to get this done. Now before you jump to conclusions and thin k that this is all the employees fault let me fill you in some more. Management came up with a quota and incentive system where employees(who don't make very good money to begin with) would make extra money the more people they signed up to these new accounts. So basically the people in charge over there thought that it was a good idea to screw over their account holders and give their low-level employees crazy quotas, all so they could make more money. Then its the workers getting fired. +Just read an article about a celebrity's parents divorcing, which definitely sucks, since that's always been something I've feared would happen with my parents. I don't think the writer of the article understands the emotional weight of the situation, though, since they only seem to care about the fact that the dad that filed for divorce is good looking. +Did you see where that Australian hiker found after 2 weeks in Malaysian jungle. He only had one day of food with him. He lived on berries and stuff. I think I could survive in the woods like that. I know a lot about native plants so I would do pretty good. Of course as long as it wasn't some place cold. The jungle would be hard but only if there are wild animals that would like to eat you for their food. At least the weather would be better. +Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. Too many readiu. +I am sorry for this teacher who is just trying to do his best in a heated political moment. I have no doubt that he was only attempting to teach to the best of his ability and represent facts as he always has. I wish people could approach each other with more compassion in the spirit of education rather than attack those who are trying to better our children. I am glad to see that he received some national support. +Hey. I'm not sure if you have ever considered getting yourself screened for colon cancer. From what I have read, the prep for this screening seems quite unpleasant. Drinking massive amounts of a questionable substance heavy with salt doesn'r seem to be like a good time to me. I noticed that some items from a company have made it to phase two trials through the FDA. One is a food bar and the other one is a smoothie. They are supposed to have some kind of flavors to them like strawberry and lemon. I guess this should help with the process. +Dear C., I just read an article about gun deaths -- specifically when guns are used against children. Small, isolated cases that happened in small towns. As I was reading the background and history of the families, it occurred to me that there's a strong socioeconomic component present, and that the people described weren't what you and I would call middle-class, and definitely not well-educated. It's like we were talking about the other day, I don't think that the dems can possibly win this fight unless they are able to appeal to gun owners. I don't think that this dynamic is going to change -- I mean, when you think about it, guns symbolize power, and in the article I read, what came across is that the people who used them against children (one child against another) need to feel power. +She lost my sympathy really quick. Seems like she likes attention. This does make me look at Paris differently. These all seem like inside jobs. I would be safe there. But, I still don't plan on visiting. Not a fan of people endorsing candidates in countries that they can not vote. Seems like an ego thing. +So I just had to read this article for a survey. It was completely unformatted, an enormous text-wall essay list. I made it all the way through though. I'm not really into sports, which the article focused on, but the article did talk about a bunch of prominent women in sports and their accomplishments. It was a little hard to follow because I'm not really familiar with a lot of sports terminology or what accomplishments are big deals. I think people generally care more about men's performances, but it's good that women can be recognized for their accomplishments in sports too. There was one bit about a woman who got some popularity over what the writer called a "raunchy" photo shoot. I think that's kinda weird that something like that was even included in an article with feminist tone. +The good news is we live in a place that does not have much air pollution. The bad news is that people that have lung cancer that is exposed to air pollution may have a shorter survival time. Air pollution kills thousands of people each year. Researchers claim that the median survival for people diagnosed with early stages of lung cancer is expected to live 3 times shorter amount of time than those that do not. Of course, we all should stay away from cigarette smoke but it is unfortunate that we have air pollution. They can figure out a way to get to the moon but can not seem to figure out a way to clean our air. +I think there are way to many people watching CNN in this country. They need to grow up. People are way to sensitive. We can not walk around on egg shells worrying about if we are going to offend someone. People will say mean things. People will hurt your feelings. grow up and get over it. Don't let it bother you. These people do not rule your life. You do! +A Russian twelve year old left for school one morning. Her mother went looking for her when she didn't return home. When she called her cell phone she was told that her daughter had committed suicide as a part of some social group that takes their own lives. It's sad to see kids seeking attention in this light. +This article talks about pouching in Africa. It's really sad hearing about the rhinos. We need to protect these animals. These animals are more important that the people poaching them. Those poachers deserve to die; they are horrible people and they are destroying a unique species. This is a terrible thing. They desperately need to protect these poor rhinoes from people. +Crushed to death by a machine that makes recycled plastics into pellets? Really? What a terrible way to die. My guess is that standard operating procedure does not include crawling inside the machine to unclog it. I understand that it is a tragedy, but geez, at some point people have to be held accountable for their own actions. I'm sure there will be a lawsuit, probably a hefty one, but I hope they lose. There doesn't seem to be any reason the company should be held accountable for his actions unless there was a malfunction of the overall systems. I'm trying not to picture it in my mind. Yikes! +I remember how hard I was to my mother especially in my teens.It can be rough and now I see that instead of how it use to be.As a kid you always think that you know what is best that you are number one.You don't really think about other people and their feelings and you tend to rebel and jsut be this horrible version of yourself. +This article about post-traumatic stress disorder is disturbing on many levels. This country really doesn't take care of our veterans. Not to mention the fact that Vietnam and Iraq were unnecessary wars in the first place. I worry we're headed for another war, and with the VA in the state that it's in, how can they possibly care for more war veterans? They can't meet the needs of the ones who already need help. It's heartbreaking to imagine these soldiers re-experiencing the war over and over again. However, I am glad to hear that there is help for people who have PTSD. I remember when we were kids and first hearing about PTSD in Vietnam vets, it was thought that no one ever recovered from it. Healing is possible, but the vets have to find the right people to help them. +This is a perfect example of why we need cameras everywhere. They have this guy on video doing all the bad things he would do. There is no way anyone can make any excuses for him now. They will surely try, though. BLM will probably come up with some story about how he was an upstanding citizen or something we have already heard before. +This article is just awful. Boko Haram is an extremist group that needs to be stopped by any means necessary. The fact of the matter is these people are using religion as an excuse to rape and kill woman and children, and thats one of the most unmoral and unethical things I can think of. These poor women and children are not only kidnapped and drugged, but they are also dealing with being raped and having their loved ones killed. This is an awful and tragic issue, and this is something that needs to be shown throughout the entire world that these people are bad and need to be stopped. +its very sad that Sally Jessy Raphael Said that She Was ‘Betrayed’ By Talk Show Producers When Sally Jessy Raphael’s self-titled talk show aired in the ‘80s and ‘90s, it found success as a topic-driven program with relatively relatable stories. But by its end, Raphael tells “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” that her series had devolved into a show of salacious content and tabloid fodder like some of her talk-show peers, and she was not happy about it this makes a bad ending +I know that the affordable care act will effect alot of people out there who are already struggling but this is an issue that just sounds wrong to me. First because so many women that I know who have gotten and IUD had complications and second because the issue of women being able to choose to have an abortion is a bitter conversation to me. +Before social media, you had to pay to get out information about your business. Now, every person and company is its own media brand - and there are significantly less barriers to reaching people.his has allowed smaller brands to gain a foothold in the market much easier. When we see trends like craft beer, food trucks, and local fashion, that is often the result of harnessing social media platforms to build a following in a cost effective way. Prior to smartphones and social adoption, it was much more difficult (and expensive) to reach people, especially if your location wasn’t on a main street. One or two small businesses isn’t enough to worry a big brand, but millions of them around the country can make a serious dent in their market shar +It's about time! I really support them doing this petition. I hope that they take it seriously and are able to liberate the Saudi women who have been oppressed for so long. You would never see that kind of ownership/guardianship system in places like the United States. Maybe feminism really is sparking change around the world. +The reason why they're killing people over there is because the Allied Forces are occupying their country. If only we would keep our nose out of others' business, then maybe, just maybe the world would become a better place. But as with all empires (and America is no different ), they eventually fall because of internal forces. +I just read this article about a really bad accident that happened at a water park. Apparently, the ride malfunctioned and threw some kids from the ride and the parents were stuck in the raft and they were stuck underwater and were hitting the machinery below. Everyone kept talking about how horrific it was and what a terrible tragedy it was. I feel really bad for these people and it really makes you wonder if you should go to a park ever again. You're suppose to have fun at these places but you never really ever think about actually getting hurt when you get on these rides. Those poor people, they just wanted to have a nice afternoon and it just ended so badly. +Three quarters of a year after the Zika outbreak was declared a global health emergency, the virus has infected almost seven hundred thousand men and women across Latin America. One estimate in the tens of thousands represents the number of infected expecting mothers. This is feared to result in fetal deformities. +Religion should be a freedom of choice. Some people are Christians and some are Muslims or Islamic. This makes me sad Christians chose a different religion so why should the Islams brutalize them and hurt them? That is cruelty and one of the reasons why there will always be war in those countries. I don't think I would ever want to visit those places, I would be very scared. They target Christians and kill priests. These people are heartless, forcing these people out of their home. +I just don't understand Russia. I mean they seem to be a country that is civilized, right? How is it that they so openly support terrorism? I just don't understand how they stand with Syria and are OK with all of the horrible things that are happening there. I think if Russia actually stood up for what is right, the world would be a much better place. +Man, they are ruining the giraffe habitat of the Rothschild giraffe. It kind of sucks, but what can you do? All we do as humans is destroy nature anyway, and when it comes right down to it, I'm sick of hearing about "This endangered species, That endangered species." It is near nauseating to hear people continually express concern over things we cannot even change. The habitats are going to be destroyed, animals are going to die - so what? As humans, we are a plague on the earth, but pretending that is going to change any time soon is silly and fool-hearted. I wish people would stop pretending to be concerned over things that they ultimately have almost no influence on, anyway. +Ya know a lot of people hate the Jews. Yet we both know lots of Jews and I like most of them. To me it doesn't really matter as I never even thought about someone being a Jew until I got older. People are people. Jews are smart. Jews have always been smart at least for generations. Smart people make money and are good at business. Just the way it goes. Jew, Jew Jew, I'm sick of all of the Jew hate. OTOH people have a legitimate concern to fear that Trump being elected will cause problems like WW2 did. After all Jews tend to be Republican and likely donated a ton of money to Trump and they are more powerful today than they ever were. Still whatever, it doesn't affect us. +I had no idea Shannen Doherty was going through breast cancer. It is such a tough situation to experience. Cancer really does humble the soul into new places that one never thought possible to emerge stronger from feeling. It sounds like she faced it with a mask of strength at first. After time, the real emotions came through where she realized the strength was not in being stoic but admitting how tough it really is to experience. It is through supposed weakness that we become stronger. +Man its really upset that we cant have a peaceful protest. Why cant we just voice our opinion in a peaceful way. Why does it always have to start and end with violence. Why do that have to destroy businesses that had nothing to do with the protest. Totally sucks for people who are just trying to live their lives peacefully. +hopefully you did not go through much reading this particular messade unfortuanetly this happens everyday and people throw vbnlind eyes tro the situation because no one wants to deal with this kind ofstuff but i am presenting this tuff to you so you guys can acknowldge it and be awareof it and be a little more bit educated about stuff liek this and so on +I just read an article about famed basketball star, Scottie Pippen. Someone thought it was new worthy to make the world aware that he and his wife got into a screaming match and she was afraid. The truth is, no one but their family knows what's really going on. His wife could be a very dramatic person. She could be giving him a hard time. While domestic violence and emotional abuse should never be tolerated, we should leave people to deal with their own screaming matches. +Terribly sorry for all the families affected by this incident. I confident that the Russians had something to do with this. They interfered with our election too. They are corrupt and shady. This further demonstrates that you can't trust the Russians. I'm so done with them. I'm not sure what needs to be done but I wish Putin disappeared from this Earth. +It's bad that these 2 died, but I have to believe they had to have know the risks involved. I think so many of us, even knowing the risks, think that "it can't happen to me" and do things we shouldn't. It's so sad for their families! I'm not sure what is the right thing to do. Signs are posted, and divers know the risks. But would it be better to permanently close the area? I'm on the fence. +Avoid reading this article. It's so fucking long for saying so little. The author feels the need to go on and on about irrelevant details and it comes off as the ramblings of a skito out on the street corner. It's the same nonsense the media pushes about those poor kids, but doesn't delve into how none of this shit would have happened if people were responsible and didn't make shit choices that are obviously bad. +IT is just sad that someone would think this is an acceptable way to resolve any problem. He clearly needed more help than he was getting and it is unfortunate that it was recognized that he needed help or the mother didn't take steps to leave sooner. I guess in life sometimes you just can't tell what is going to happen or what will set someone off. +These poor birds. We need to start recycling more and making sure our plastics are at least cut up. The beads in the plastic seem to be a good idea to try and detour the birds from eating it. All these simply thing we as humans can be doing to prevent these terrible things from happening. I feel like recycling and people having knowlegde about these plastics and polluting our environment are everywhere for Americans to see.i just kind of wonder the countries that had the highest percent of plastic in their oceans do they educate or inform those countries like america does? Why are those country so much higher then the others what do we need to do to reduce that number? +I had no idea that caffeine powder could cause problems like that! Other than the obviousness of it being caffeine, I wonder if it's any worse than coffee in that way, or if it's just because its usually a hidden product. Also comfrey, I have definitely taken in things before, it's been in menstrual supplements, I didn't know that. I feel like I've seen green tea powder in something as well. +hello friend, how have you been lately, I am somewhat depressed by an article that I read recently, that helped me a lot, that I realized that the article had a problem that interested me more, because of the events that were happening in this, for example: He did not vaccinate or treat his cattle due to illness; he does not use cowboys to control them and cope; does not manage or control the reproduction +So sad! The middle east just keeps getting worse. I hate what’s happening to these people, but I’m not sure how to solve it. I wish there was a simple, easy fix. However, it seems like every time we try to fix something it just gets worse. It’s such a complex situation with no easy answer. Unfortunately, I don’t see it being solved any time soon. +I can understand being absent minded and concentrating on other things to the point you're so laser focused you forget some small things around you. But how in the hell do you forget your kid is in the backseat of the car, much less come back to the car hours later and still not see the kid in there. It makes no sense, it's hard to believe the guy did it on purpose, but it's hard to believe he didn't remember him twice. Really sad and tragic. +Not that we need to necessarily get ourselves overly involved in the affairs and well-being of other countries, but we should definitely be paying attention to what is going on in the world around us. There is human suffering everywhere and I think that most of the time we are completely oblivious to it, or we don't want to face it. I believe that it is a good thing to be able to realize how cruel human beings can be to one another and to appreciate what we have when we have it and not take things for granted. Considering we could always have it much worse. +I just read an article on the decision this week to dismiss the Kenyan general in charge of the peacekeeping force there. I agree that the restoration of a peace agreement is important and vital in this situation. I hope they can figure it out and the fighting that is happening all over the country can finally end and they can have peace. +The fact that human beings are abusing the planet and each other is evident in this article. It is enough to get you depressed, read this so you can get an idea of how pollution affects third wolrd countries. Instead of going after industries (probably all American) with fines, they rather close schools because of the pollution and smog. Their health is being affected and not only that, the enviroment is being completely abused. +I just read an article about an elementary school volunteer producing child porn with kids as young as NINE. This is absolutely disgusting. How can anyone violate our sweet children like that. He gave out cell phones and used an anonymous social media app to solicit videos and photos of boys and girls performing sexual acts :( I am so perturbed that people are so disgusting. I can promise you if this ever happens to any of my kids they are going to be a very sorry person. +A fire destroyed a family's house. The people escaped and suffered no harm but two of their cats died. As a result of the fire, they are displaced but at least they're alive. At least the Red Cross is helping them out. They might be sad about the pets but I am sure they feel fortunate that no people died in this fire. +This story left me feeling pretty confused. It was so short and didn't provide a lot of answers at all. I was left wondering why France wanted to dismantle the camp and why the refugees were so angry and against the move. What was really going on here? Were there some other issues that had nothing to do with humanitarian considerations? It seems like there's usually more to the story with refugee stories. +I feel very sad for the civilians who are caught in the crossfire. It's sad that people are stuck in the middle of this conflict. I wish there was a peaceful resolution. Both sides should really keep the ceasefire if only to protect the civilians who are caught in the middle. Those people have no control over any of this. +I totally support these protesters. We've had trouble with oil pipelines here in Michigan. I feel like these pipelines are foisted on local communities without any care for whether it is good for the community and without adequate studies as to how safe they are from leaks and pollution. There are more important things in life than money and oil. +Jose Fernandez was a pitcher for the Miami Marlins and unfortunately died in a major boating accident where they rammed a rock. I got to read more into his life and upbringing and it's truly sad to see such a good man fall in such a preventable way. I truly feel for all those who suffered his loss. It's such a sad event and it's stuff like this that makes you be more appreciative of the time you have. +I just read an article about how Billy Bob Thorton felt about his marriage to Angelia Jolie. He expressed that he did not feel good enough to be with her. This was kind of surprising. It made me feel empathic towards him. He stated that he did not like being around rich and important people. This made me feel like he is relatable. I did find it odd that they both wore vials of blood around their necks while they were together. It was a little gross. He even went into detail about how they cut their fingers together to get the blood and then compared it the lockets you can buy and put pictures of your grandmas in. I also did not realize that he is 20 years her junior. I found that to be a little old but I have seen it work. The article also briefly touched on her relationship with Brad. +I just read another article about clashes over in the middle east and I am sending it over to you. This kind of thing has been going on forever ,,, my whole life and I have to admit that I am becoming immune to these types of stories and lost all empathy for these people. Normally you would read a story such as this and be heartbroken for the women and children who lost their lives but there is a story (or 2 or 3 or 10) like this every day and for decades and no end in sight. So just pile up the bodies of the woman and stack up the children murdered. Herd the maimed into a corner and block it all all of your concious. Too much insanity and too much gore to think about so the healthy thing for you do is just ignore these stories since there will a new one or two or ten tommorrow and forever +I cant believe how some countries treat criminals. I agree that they should be punished and face consequences but beating them to death is definitely excessive especially when the crime is not that bad. I'm not sure how that helps the crime rates and I definitely dont think we should consider that method where we come from. +I thought reading an article about iconic moments of women athletes would be quite a bit more interesting and moving than it was. Instead, it was mostly a rattling of championships and medal counts with very few anecdotal pieces of information. The only things that really stood out were the story of the marathon runner and the swimmer because there were interesting stories attached to them. +I'm really confused at why multiple articles were mushed together like this. At first I was perturbed at the first article because I felt like the lady was being ridiculous. She weighs 500 pounds, so obviously a 1200 calorie diet is going to cause her to lose weight, the fact that she can't find a scale to weigh her doesn't matter. You don't need a scale to tell you're losing weight. Measure your body with measuring tape. But then I got to the article about the Mexican students and found it really horrifying. I can't believe the terrible things people do to one another :( +Another presumably liberal leaning teacher has been placed on leave after comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. He claims his statements are all backed by historical facts. I support the school district's decision to suspend him. If statements like this had been made about Barack Obama, it would likely be all over nightly news. +I feel really bad for the woman, Janis Barinsky, this article is writing about. Nobody should have to go through such torture and borderline abuse at their workplace to endure this type of behavior and thoughts. For a company to treat their employees this way and to push them to the verge of suicide is just out right awful. +I did not know much about Cohen before I read the article about his death. I heard the Jeff Buckley song of course because it appears in Shrek. I also think that the Irish girl did a cover of Bird on a Wire that I like. He did a lot of work and was an influence over much of the music scene. It was sad he got ripped off and had to work so hard to re-earn his fortune. It is an informative article and worth a read if you don't know much about him. +I can't believe we live in a world where terrorism—both domestic and foreign—are such a looming threat. Being out in public now more dangerous than ever, and it's all because of the convoluted sociological web of conservative ideology that has promoted domestic terrorism in white heterosexual American masculinity and the xenophobia that inspired Islamic terrorism. There's just too damned much hate in this world, and hopefully more people will find love and nurturing like the author of this book found while writing about her trauma. +This article I just read is incredibly intellectually dishonest. The notion that women were somehow exiled from talking points and inclusion in the Trump campaign is actually nauseating. This kind of narrative is truly what the modern liberal exists upon. It's disgusting. I'm not a Trump fan, but mark my words, this kind of crap will be the reason why he wins in 2020. +Man, car crashes happen all the time. There is no way they can be prevented. I would like to think that the smart cars of the future would help prevent this, but I am not to sure. Somebody could probably hack those and cause massive car wrecks as well. People should also drive safer as well. There is definitely too much speeding. I wonder if drunk driving was the cause of the wreck. That's a huge problem that causes a bunch of wrecks. Don't drink and drive people. +So, in India there's a lot of corruption and the Prime Minister made a promise to stop it. He made a pretty extreme decision to get rid of the two highest denominations of currency in the country, so that people who were hoarding cash and not paying taxes on it would lose out. There was a grace period, but the country was really unprepared for it still. The banks didn't have enough smaller bills to trade to people. The poor weren't able to go to work because they had to stand in line at ATMs. Someone made a really good point that the real money from corruption is stored in Swiss banks. I agree! +Maybe they should evaluate him and figure out why he did what he did so that when he gets released, he's not tempted to do it again. The story really didn't tell why he did it or if he was mentally challenged or anything, it just says that he injured the bird. The bird is a sad case of what a zoo is. Those animals should be in the wild, and not cooped up for people to ooh and aah at them in a park +If you're here illegally, you shouldn't be here. I don't have much sympathy. Sure, if your parents brought you here, you didn't have much choice...but figure out how to be here legally. I don't have much sympathy for people here illegally. There are ways to do things right...and there are rules for a reason. +Its crazy! Over One million children couldn't go to school because the smog was so thick ! they said its like smoking 40 cigerattes a day . That you feel like you are being choked when you walk outside . Could you even imagine ? Parents taking their kids to the docs and them saying get out of the city for a few days and they will be ok . That's just crazy to me . so sad . +I don't know if you've seen this article about the war on cops, but I found it pretty unconvincing. It actually made me a bit angry, because it focuses on police deaths form two years ago and doesn't take into account current figures. Also, by focusing on deaths alone, it completely glosses over injuries to paint a picture that policing is safe in the current climate. It feels a lot like fake news to me. All you have to do is pick up the paper to see how often cops are involved in fights with criminals and crazy people. +This is very sad. I can only imagine how stressful it must be for the people living in the areas threatened by these fires. It must be so stressful knowing that you have to be ready to evacuate any minute and leaving your home and all your belongings behind to possibly never seeing them again. I also feel bad for all the wildlife. +This is such a weird experience and so unexplained. Why are so many people dying in the Med? there are not enough safety measures being put in place so that people can safely enjoy themselves. It is so easy to take someone's money but then you do not give them the safety that they paid for. It's sad and such a shame but honestly, I not at all surprised. +This article about the Philippines mayor is very alarming. It is a shame that so many people resort to corruption and bad deeds. It is also unfortunate that it had to end in casualties. People should really evaluate their behavior and how it impacts others. I would not want to go traveling there if this is how they behave! +I don't really understand the uproar over some birds. Maybe I am being just unsympathetic, or maybe I'm not as understanding as I thought I originally was. To spend all this money, and all this time, to save these birds, seems kind of silly to me. Why don't we focus the funds on something else that actually helps people? +Putting make up on a train, is that just paint? Ha ha. I don't want to make too big a deal about this because it is a different culture and it would be difficult to get the full gist without knowing too much about it. With that said, it's is pretty worrisome, in this country as well, how much people are telling everyone what they should and shouldn't be doing. Live and let live is still the best way to go about things and comparing putting on make up on a train to pooping on the train is pretty ridiculous by any standard. +I think that people try to pin a lot of stuff on trump as far as sexism goes, but it doesn't really matter. if people want trump out of office then they need to find something else to pin on him. He tampered with the election via the russians, and thats what people need to pin on him. This sexism nonsense isn't going to go anywhere +I think the short of it really is that the racists won the election. It is incredibly sad that such a seemingly easy to win election against someone who is openly calling groups of racist things, and actually encouraging hate and chaos, was lost. The democrats are right to be taking a long look at how they do things, they've always been the party that is "we're like the republicans, but you won't gag as much voting for us." I think the average person who cares about politics, and is liberal, got a shocking wake up call this time around, and we're going to see people turn out in incredible numbers to vote. +Boy I can't ever imagine being in a fire like these people. First Your scared about just trying to get out. Then your looking out for your neighbors and their pets. Man just tragic really tough. Now they have to find somewhere to stay. Just turns your life upside down. Paperwork keepsakes so hard to get over. Even if your not hurt it must affect you for the rest of your life. +Hello, how are you doing meN? Remember that chat we had a week ago about Haiti? I was just reading an article about it, never thought things could have been so bad, they are even worse than what I imagine worst than what we talked about. I find it funny how we are so enclosed in our small little world, while in Chicago we are celebrating about CUBS victory in over 100 years, in Haiti, they are suffering for water and food. +These people were guests who were presumably staying illegally at this camp. They were allowed to stay there out of compassion , I'm assuming. Then, when they're told that something else has to be figured out, they lose it. When you give a group something, even if it doesn't belong to them and even if you're being kind my doing it, they immediately feel like it belongs to them and will react strongly if you try to take it away. +While reading this article all I could think of is how much of a shame and alarming it is of the recent shootings that have been taking place all over the USA. I know we have talked about guns and ownership in the past, but I'm starting to think it is important to look at what we can do to stop these acts and how we can make a change ourselves. I also was surprised that they did not try to take the story and flip it into being some type of political debate about how the shooter was made about politics or a race war. +Can you believe how disturbed some people are? I just read an article about a woman whose parents forced her to have sex with both of them when she was 11. They did it for money. If you are a parent struggling for money, how in the world does your mind turn to sexually abusing your child for money? They are sick, and 20 years is not enough time for them in prison. They are the people that are supposed to protect her, and they violated her in the worst way. She is very brave for telling her story and for just being a survivor. +I had no earthly idea wearing contact lenses required this amount of discipline in order to avoid potential problems. I would much prefer to stick with glasses. What particularly concerns me is the potential for scarring on the cornea and any possible loss of visual acuity. Frankly, I don't like the idea of sticking something in my eye to begin with, and this has turned me off from contact lenses forever. +I don't see how things are still happening like this in this point in time. We can not let this continue. It really makes me sad and fell fortunate for what I have. It is insane that people still act like this. Maybe we should send some help over there but it might not be a good idea to get involved and could cause worse problems. +I blame this on the neo-liberal policies of Barack Obama. He made a lot of hope and change promises and delivered nothing. After 8 years peoples lives haven't gotten better. Having a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is ridiculous. The mainstream media carries a lot of this blame as well for not informing the public about issues and only reporting sensationalism garbage. +Oh my gosh this is so awful. I feel so bad for this man and his family, as well as the mother of the child. Could you imagine getting hurt, nearly being rescued, and then the helicopter failing too? Talk about terrible luck. I hope they start a gofundme for this man and his family - we should all donate if they do. +Natural disasters like these are just so scary. They could literally happen at anytime and no one ever knows when, especially earthquakes. It is sad to see such historic buildings and areas be destroyed by this event. It is even more sad knowing that people got injured. Some things just aren't fair in life and you never see it coming. +Hello, I will tell you something, an article I read recently, said that millions of Nigerians survived Boko Haram, but now a humanitarian catastrophe is putting their lives at risk again, wise about this information I think it is more important information than it seems be, I would consider that it is a news that should happen even by television +Toughie, the world's last Rabbs' fringe-limbed tree frog and a symbol of the extinction crisis, has died at his home in the Atlanta Botanical Garden.The famed frog's age is unknown, but he's at least 12 years old, and likely older, because he was an adult when collected in 2005.Mark Mandica, who worked with Toughie for seven years, says the frog's story isn't entirely unique. “A lot of attention had been paid to him in captivity, so he even has his own Wikipedia page,” Mandica, head of the Amphibian Foundation, notes. “But there are plenty of other species out there that are disappearing, sometimes before we even knew that they were there.”In fact, Toughie's own species (Ecnomiohyla rabborum) wasn't described until 2008, +I feel bad for the kid that fell into the gorilla enclosure and Harambe, the meme king of 2016. It sucks that they had to shoot the gorilla, but it didn't know what it was doing to hurt the kid and it seemed like there was no choice but to kill him. It must have been an awful downer for the zoo visitors who expected to have a relaxing and fun day of leisure. In my opinion the zoo should have given the visitors present at the shooting a coupon for a future visit or something like that to ease the downer. +the state in Syria is bad. the Syrian conflation has a medical source in rebel-held Aleppo told the AFP news agency that a shortage of blood meant hospitals were struggling to deal with the huge number of casualties caused by air strikes over the past four days. There was also no water supply in many areas after pumping stations were damaged at the weekend, and several charity kitchens were forced to close because of the violence. +This story is pretty weird and I wonder why they suffered heart attacks or whatever it was in the water. If they had pre existing medical conditions, would they have known it would be a bad idea to snorkel? There should be more precautions in place to make sure people are able to snorkel before they go ahead and do it. +This article was just ridiculous to me, I see the need to be protesting and freedom of speech and rights but we as people need to do peaceful protest not using armed militias to stand off on a protest. That is going against the very fundamentals of what liberals stand for. I think the group should have had some repercussions to what they did. +Wow. Let me get this straight: The German Consulate are "invaders" but all of the Middle East and North Africa pouring into Europe like the Camp of the Saints is "refugees" and if we complain about it, we're racists. Here's an idea: All Muslims, Arabs, and whatever else we're not supposed to notice this week can go back to the Middle East, and then our "invading" consulates and embassies will be HAPPY to go back to where we came from. Never speak to us again. Ugh. "The Taliban....." Yeah, no, the word you're looking for here is MUSLIMS. The MUSLIMS are the problem, not the Taliban. +Yay, bigots! I know that bigots are not a particularly new species, but I used to think, just a few years ago, that things were much better and that people were generally becoming more open-minded and welcoming. But the election of our new president signals something very different. And very much encourages the bigots to spread their wings and parade proudly. They are being empowered right now, and that is very disturbing. +Wow, just wow. I think that the possibility of nominating this judge for the Supreme Court really needs to be reexamined closely in that this nomination could cause bigger problems and chaos across the country. There would be heavy debates and fights from both sides and in the end, there unfortunately would be no progress. +Who knew that a typhoon hitting two countries would be less disturbing that articles about trees and dust. Our compassion is ruled by numbers and when two people die a storm we yawn. But show us dead trees for tell us we are breathing residue for a toilet cleaner and we freeze with panic. Perspective is a hard thing to find sometimes. +in Spain this was the Deadly Train Crash killed at least four people and injured nearly 50 others after it derailed in the northwest region of the country.Photos of the wreck showed the train’s carriage flipped on its side and smashed from where it likely hit part of a bridge near the tracks.A witness woman told Spanish television about hearing a "very strong bang" before seeing billowing black smoke. +I have a lot of sympathy for everyone worried about the Trump administration. I get it. They're not wrong to be worried. I think the author of this article misidentifies the source of the problem, though. It's not Trump. Trump himself isn't why we're in this situation. It's the people and institutions who supported him and the people and institutions who were ineffective at combating him that deserve the lion's share of the blame. +It's a shame how the government can't get this under control. As I've always said, Flint isn't the only city with these problems. The worst part about the localities that disregard the lead levels is that either they are fabricating the test results or not being fined at all. I just don't see that things are going to get any better under Pruitt ( he really needs to resign). I just can't see the EPA fining or shutting down water systems that are non compliant. I am terribly worried, not only for the children of Flint, but for All the children who are still drinking water with high lead levels. +This article brings back to mind the overall mass hysteria that the left, centrists, and neocons feel when they think about Trump. I'm not a Trump supporter, but I honestly believe people are truly delusional at this point. It has become vomit inducing. Liberals should be more pissed at the DNC for crapping on Bernie. Neocons should just admit to being big government centrists so we can all move on. +I am one for not giving your potential mate any reasonable doubt. For example if Tanaka (Mariah Carey's backup dancer) made her fiance uncomfortable he should have been axed in the beginning of the relationship. I also do not think it supports security all the time either. I think that if you value that mate there should definitely be sacrifices made in regards with relationships. +It's a shame that there are so many refugees in the world but when does it stop becoming my responsibility. I understand that conditions around the world are not ideal for everyone. However, if we just let everyone start coming here who has a problem in the world we begin to lose a sense of who we are and what made us have the country that is stable. I don't want to sacrifice my nation completely over the fact that I'm sorry the place you live sucks and is run by morons. +This article about the murder/suicide of this couple just further proves that people who commit acts of murder are usually mentally disturbed. They will harm someone and themselves with or without access to a gun. This murder/suicide was clearly not done by a gun. There are so many situations where a murderer will kill themselves after they have harmed someone else, proving that they are very disturbed and they should have received help of some sort. This will prevent them from harming innocent people along with themselves. +A moron Arkansas cop left her police dog in the patrol car in the middle of summer and the poor thing died. She's on administrative leave while the incident is being investigated. What's to investigate? The dog didn't lock itself in the car. She should at least be immediately fired for being too stupid to be a cop. +So I think I just read the most interesting article to date ever published. A girl ran into a police officer with her car, while taking a nude topless selfie to send to her boyfriend. Feel a little bad for her, even though she should not be doing this, especially with a glass of wine in her cup holder haha. Guessing she was drunk, which is the main crime here. She had a bond of 2000 dollars I believe. I kind of want her to be freed haha. +I hate that tourism and economy end up hurting our animal's habitats! People are so selfish while traveling, and they do not think of how their actions will effect the wildlife in the area. Please remember to clean up your trash, do not litter, and do not leave items out that will potentially hurt animals when you are visiting an area. Countries need to spend more time and effort on saving natural areas for wildlife. +After reading that article on the Arctic Ice, I feel that maybe we should get together and do something. Maybe find an organization to donate time and money too. I don't know, but it is scary that the ice is not rebounding. I am not sure what will happen in the future, but if we can try to get people aware now of their carbon footprint, maybe, just maybe we can make a small impact on the ice melting. I know the Earth goes through cycles, but I am sure that humans have greatly impacted the amount of thawing way more than normal cycles. It is as if humans are a parasite. We are like a chronic inflammation to the Earth. It's getting scary out there and we have no other planet to go to in this vast universe. We can't mess up the one we have. +It seem like we have enters the day where people are more sensitive to political issues that ever before. Although people may not agree with the current administration under Trump they can not falt or blame other for their personal beliefs. It is especially a shame when a mom will kick out their own child for mock voting is a manner that she find unfitting. +There has got to be a better solution that we can all come up with to make sure that these deaths are stopped or at least decreased. I understand making sure that the elephants are safe, but people should take priority as well. There are people fearing for their lives. What can their country do about it, and if their country can't, when will another country come in and offer their assistance? +It seems like the air pollution in India is getting worse and this is especially troubling for children who are very susceptible to the open air. This is very alarming as just recently 1,800 school had been close in India because of the poor air quality. It seem that these particle from the smog and fireworks are so tiny that they can make there way in the small pockets of the lungs. +This article was so sad. I guess ISIS had killed many people recently in israel. They were very rude about it and many people were at high tension worried they had bombs or traps set up as they were recovering and looking for more bodies. They said the people of ISIS just dumped there bodies as if they were trash. +sexual assault is the major problem in the country there were many cases first , second and third degree reported.the recent story of the UW-Madison student who was charged in alleged attacks on 5 women —sexual assault against a University of Wisconsin student led to multiple charges based on claims from five women. combined with the viral nature of social media, has resulted in modern-day character assassination that is very real and very wrong." How to help survivors of sexual assault might be spread over the media or the other sort +hey friend,you should read about the article i just read . The world is just full of problems.I just pity the way some animals suffer in this world especially in war zone areas like Gaza,Libya Syria.I just wish I could do something about it because serious attention is needed in those zoos.If only I had powers I could do something about the protection of this animals. +I've given up my faith in humanity. There are just certain events that transpire that make you shudder to the core. After reading multiple articles today about just how shitty people can be to one another, it makes me beyond happy to know the individuals that are in my own personal life. Human greed knows no bounds. Human ego needs to be set aside and/or destroyed. +Kesha the singer opened up about how she was treated in the music industry...it's so crazy how time after time these pop stars, rappers an singers come out with these stories about how they got cheated, or that they find out that their manager had been stealing from them for years, or giving them advice that doesn't actually serve the artist. The problem is that a lot of these artists go into the music industry naive and desperate and just take whatever hey can get...whatever del, just to get their foot in the door but just end up getting screwed, +I just read that Kevin Meaney, a standup comedian and actor has died. Although I don’t remember him very well, according to the article I read he was a celebrity of some notoriety in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Mr. Meaney was in the CBS sitcom "Uncle Buck," it was only on for one season in 1990, and he made an appearance on an episode of "Saturday Night Live. He was on the Johnny Carson show, too, which was the top-rated late night talk show for decades. I really miss all the bright comedic talents that launched their careers on the Carson show. So many of these great comedians of the past have inspired budding comic talents of today. They will be missed! +middle east is fucked up, I've honestly never heard of a middle east country such as Afganistan deporting people, the mention of it just sound funny, who the heck would want to stay in that shit hole country that has been infested with terrorists and child rapists? Perhaps those refugees are out of choice, honestly they should come to a better country such as U.S. or U.K, even though those 2 countries have their own policies regarding immigration, but I think they're quite tolerate to people from war torn countries +Did you hear about Jose Fernandez? He just died in a boating accident. He was only 24 years old! It's just so shocking and sad. What a waste! He was with two other men too, all in their twenties. Hose had overcome so much adversity. when he was a child in Cuba, he would only make $4 a day selling tomatoes and onions. It's such a shame to lose such a great man and great ball player. +It's scary to think that even somebody who is as well known and guarded as Kim Kardashian can still be the victim of crimes like this. It's got to be disheartening to be Kim and know you've spent (most likely) a lot of money to have security with you at all times to protect you from things like this, yet it still happens to you. You'd have to wonder just how much more one can do to protect themselves. +I feel so bad for that innocent customer. This is something that is unfortunate and a random freak incident. All over a declined card this man got so upset that he had to take it out on other people. It is shocking to me that some people can have so much anger in them to do something like that. That person that was shot was just going there on a normal day to get coffee and now his loved ones can't see him no more all because someone got worked up over a declined card. I guess we need to have security every where nowadays it seems. No place is safe to go. You can't even go to the coffee shop without worrying someone is going to pull out a gun at you. +What I learned from my experience is that most modern factories, even the ones in thirds world countries, will try to make their employees reasonably comfortable and safe. Not because their super-altruistic but because it helps with productivity. A happy, rested, relaxed worker does better work and more of it than an exhausted, stressed out one. it's unfortunate that this guy died the way they did ono the job like that. +Did you hear about that bus crash that happened in Delaware. It was very sad, also I read that 2 people were injured. I hope these people can recover fully from their injuries and go on to lead fulfilling lives. Hopefully something like this will never ever happen again and measures are taken to prevent it. +Did you hear about the earthquake in Tanzania? There were over 200 deaths. It's so scary because you can't really prepare for something like that. I live in California so people are always warning us about the san andres fault line. I get so worried thinking about how bad it might get if something like that happens to us. +I am upset and disturbed about the result of the investigation on the article. It also saddens me to know that the families involved in the missing of those students are still hoping to see their family member even after years of waiting. This article reminds me that no matter how long the case, the family will always wait for them to hug those missing students. +This story makes me sad that a hard-working family member can suffer in this way. Life can be pretty cruel. On the bright side, with advancing computer and health sciences, the future does have some light at the end of the tunnel. I think it's probably helpful to try to focus a bit on the positive. My political views are different from most. I find myself disagreeing with many Republican and Democrat stances. I'm in favor of universal healthcare, basic income, and access to assisted suicide (rational suicide, access to drugs like Nembutal for anyone who thinks they might want to make the rational decision not to live, and instead die in a humane way). +This story upsets me. I can't seem to get it out of my head that the victim was a child even though there's conflicting comments. But to die because you stole porridge seems insane. I guess I can't put myself in that situation where maybe porridge is hard to come by but just knowing that someone died for that seems petty to me. +Another Taliban attack in Afghanistan today, this time directed against the Germans. A few dead and many wounded, primarily women and children. They said it was in retaliation against US air strikes that have cause a lot of civilian casualties. An endless cycle, just like before. Remind me again why we're there. +Life is a dangerous thing. People are suffering from natural and man-made disasters. There is a huge number of deaths due to hazing in Indonesia. All driven by over-industrialisation and hunger of profits. Governments and scientists should do more to prevent these kinds of deaths: at least to have certain warning systems installed. Also, natural disasters such as hails and typhoons can wreck a havoc in peoples’ lives. Now I have second thoughts about traveling to South Pasific islands. They are gorgeous but dangerous. +I think that its really sad that forests are getting wiped out through causes of diseases and invasive species of bugs. It really should be are main priority as humans to preserve the environment the Earth has provided to us before its to late. It up to us as the younger generation to reverse decades of environmental abuse so that future generations are able to enjoy nature such as hiking through a beautiful forest. +the article is touching its great about Ebeid families who flee to other countries, are forced to leave them behind.” In another neighborhood of eastern Aleppo, 83-year-old Reema Salama lives alone in the home where she raised her children and his wife, who suffers from high blood pressure and rheumatism. Marea has received unexpected help from another son, Hameed, who was visiting from Turkey and became trapped in the city when the government imposed its siege several weeks ago +There is a particularly rough situation with the United States, Russia, and Syria right now. The United States is receiving conflicting intelligence about attacks and conspiracies. There is a need for cooperation but diplomatic intensity is very important. Russia seems to be keeping its intelligence under wraps while Syria is in a power deluge. +There was another gunman attacking random people in Houston. I think it's so scary and disgusting. Mental health these days seem to be at a all time low and it's showing left and right. We need to do something about people who don't act like humans anymore. They lose all empathy for others and just want to end their life in a cowardly way. +It's interesting that so many people would have this reaction to the election. Sure, there's a lot of negative stuff surrounding the election and the president...but a lot of it is rhetoric and media. It doesn't seem as relevant on a local level. I guess it would depend on where you live...maybe I'm too isolated to understand. +Did you hear about this sexual harassment scandal involving the National Parks Service? I guess there really is no industry that is immune to this misbehavior. Incidents have been documenting going back decades but nothing was done about it. It's really outrageous what people in power can get away with. +Awful news article. Us as a society need to do a better job of protecting and helping not only our planet, but the animals and mammals that surround it. The fact that almost 100 percent of the caimans are suspected to be dead is alarming and people should be more informed on such matters. The rate of extinction that these animals and mammals are going through on our planet is extremely alarming and I can not figure out why people aren't more concerned or even aware of the matter. We need to do a better job of protecting ALL living matter on this planet, not just ourselves. +So the FBI seems to fail at preventing serious terrorist attacks when they knowingly had a suspect. Their investigations obviously are not thorough enough to always prevent attacks even whey they are forewarned about a specific person. The nightclub attack in Orlando seems like it could have been prevented if the FBI did their job. They had warnings from the killers family and basically a warning from the terrorist himself. With extremist like this guy, when they already had him once, I think more severe tactics are necessary to protect the country and its citizens. I feel like the FBI is just making excuses because they were incompetent and do not seem to take everything as serious as they need too. Our country deserves that! +I remember this going on. I knew someone who considered this option. It's a shame that women have to think like this, about birth control meant to outlast a political regime. Trump and Pence are reprehensible, but at least it hasn't come to pass - not that they wouldn't salivate at the opportunity to attack women's health like this, we've just been lucky so far that they haven't got their way. It bothers me how these guys think. +Garden ponds 'playing role' in frog disease spread — Garden ponds are playing a role in the spread of deadly frog diseases across the UK, a study suggests. Ranaviruses can infect amphibians, reptiles and fish. In the UK, they have devastated common frog populations. This research suggests that the introduction of infected animals from aquatic retailers into ponds or moving species between different ponds may be exacerbating the problem. +From this article I read 82 percent of ecosystems are being impacted by climate change. Whats interesting about this is the environment and the species in these ecosystems are going through morphological changes. Sometimes we get this idea that climate change will eradicate all life from the Earth but it seems that we will be able to adapt to it to a certain extent. By no means am I say we shouldn't make changes to solve climate change but it is interesting to seem how life is adapting to the changes. +Hello Jane, how have you been, I want to vent out an article I read and is very heart breaking. A few families lost their loved one in a ride at the Dreamworld theme park in Queensland, Australia. They were thrown off the ride into the water. It is a very sad story and it will be investigated, also the Dream world CEO has created a memorial at the park with 500 staff to attend, which is very kind. +So two sisters were on vacation and both died. Apparently fluid in the lungs but one had fluid in the brain or something like that. So sad for the family. The government where they were at is not giving the family much info if any at all. It is just weird how two sisters both died at the same place and by fluid in the lungs or brain. +I wonder if I recognize this guy. I haven't heard of him up until now. He was just a little before our time, although I'm sure he had an impact on many of the people we know. It seems like he influenced many other comedians that I know. I plan on looking up his work to see what is out there of him. +Big businesses should really be held accountable for where the bailouts they receive really go. Yet the government don't really enforce any rules. Just here is money and trust them to use it as it was intended for them. We really should stop corporate lobbying in Congress. Look at these people using the bailout money just for luxury. I am outraged! +I don't like the fact that environmental concerns are still a large part of our world in which we live but I believe the higher power controls this and that will keep us from ever completely overcoming these issues. It makes me upset to know Native American tribes are being affected by drought to the point of possibly ceasing to exist. I have Native American heritage and feel that this population should be cared for by our government before segments of third world countries. I don't like the fact that air pollution is a problem or a salty lake is drying up in Iran but I understand our environment is controlled by God. We, as a nation, choose our battles sometimes based on the wrong things. Taking care of the Native American tribesman should be a HUGE priority! +I recently read an article about how the band Eagles of Death Metal visited the Paris attacks memorial. A year before they were playing at a concert hall when the attacks occured a year prior. Sting was the first person to play at he concert hall since the attacks. The front man of the Eagles of Death Metal was denied access to the event. He had told Fox news that the muslim security collaborated with the attackers at the concert hall. +I wish there was something more that I could do. This is getting out of hand, but it's kind of far away geographically from us. There needs to be something the international community can do. Farmers everywhere are killing pests and animals that interfere with their farms, but elephants are completely different from pests. They are extremely smart and are just hungry. I honestly wonder if we should come up with a plan to feed them, and this might sound crazy, but try to study elephants and come up with some way to communicate abstract ideas with them. +There are three sides to every story: the one individual's side, the other party's side, and the truth. I'm not justifying that what the airlines did was right, but I believe there is much more to the story than what was reported. Granted, privacy issues come into play and not everything can be revealed; however, I take the complaints with a grain of salt. +I just don't know how they could do this to that poor girl. After everything she has been through. I really feel for her. I understand what she might be going through. It is a shame to have this happen after all this time. I really hope that someone will be able to help her.I feel really bad about what is being done. I am worried about what might happen if she doesn't get any help. They really should just let her go. +Oh my goodness, check out this article. Very interesting but also very sad. Poor guy was just trying to do his job. This sounds like a terrible way to die. If nothing else maybe some new and improved safety measures will be put in place to protect the next person who has this same recycling job.I hope his family gets an attorney and tries to get some sort of money for his untimely death. +I am very concerned about the spread of Zika. I think in many cases the federal government takes it too likely. What price is too expensive for the health and safety of our citizens, especially our most vulnerable ones. Given the advance warning we’ve had about the dangers and progression of Zika, it is shameful the lack of progress that has been made globally. +I think we need to remember a few important things, psychologists and psychiatrists have very hard times. Sometimes the people they are sent to treat are manipulative to a point they have fooled family, friends and professionals for years. We also have to acknowledge those with underlying mental health issues who may have been taken advantage of and used by criminal organizations. +What I have learned from this is that obesity is a silent killer. In most of the cases, by the time one realizes that they under the clutch of Obesity and it’s already too late for them. Some prominent signs of obesity are- lack of flexibility in body, high blood pressure, development of cardiac issues and respiratory disorder. But a question that continues to bother the patients is what caused Obesity in them. +What an awful tragedy no family should be subjected to this. This is really getting out of hand i cant believe the middle east still has so much turmoil. its really ridiculous. i hope our boys can help calm the situation and keep things safer than they are now. its just insane how much a person must be delusional to go through with these actions +I wish more people would donate food that's still good instead of throwing it away. There's so many people who gladly take anything to eat and there's people just throwing out perfectly good food. There should be some way to easily take food or even have someone come pick it up and then the food can go to needy starving people. +Another example of the Government disregard for the Indian people who lived here before we ever arrived. Sad in this day and age they are just trying to protect their land. Stop the potential for environmental damage to the land where they have lived for thousands of years. Don't we learn anything from history. How can they shot and harm these people just protecting their land and way of life. +Sure glad I live in Minnesota and not Chicago. I hear the latest problem is lead in the water. Now they are shutting down all the outdoor fountains. One reason is to protect the homelsss. LOL who are they kidding. Like anyone actually cares about the homeless. We have this pompous rich guy Donald Trump cutting peoples SNAP on 2019 while at the same time cities are worrying about lead in the water to protect the homeless. It's all really annoying. Granted I agree lead is bad but then again some Govt. clown probably needs to do something to justify the 6 figure income they make. +I am not sure what to think. I would be happy to be alive. I would like to know if they knew what the sea would be like as the sea is VERY unpredictable and I doubt they wanted to kill themselves too. I think it's a tragedy and no one is at fault. It is just one of those things that happens. Some things and tragedies are unforeseeable. +he mayor was on Duterte's list of local officials branded as "narco-politicians" who allegedly have ties to the illegal drug world, according to CNN affiliate CNN Philippines. He, along with his wife, surrendered themselves to provincial police in August to clear their names and deny involvement. At the roadblock early Friday morning, an "armed encounter" between Dimaukom's men and police ensued, the report says, with law enforcement officials responding to fire from the mayor's bodyguards, leaving 10 men dead. Duterte was elected to office in May on a platform of a hardline crackdown on crime, particularly illegal drugs. Since taking office in early June, his police force has waged a bloody war on drug dealers and users, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Filipino drug suspects at the +I feel bad for the migrants who died when the ship which was carrying them sunk. Especially the young ones. Kids shouldn't have to die like this just trying to take a risk to improve their lives. I am touched by the state of the tiger population. They should never be raised and kept in this fashion. They deserve to be free. On top of this rare species should always be protected. +I have pretty strong thoughts and feelings about this. From what I read, I feel like that is a very tragic situation. Us as a society, we are taking advantage of the trees we have here. In order to protect the environment and make the environment better again, we need to take care of it. What we are doing, in my opinion, is morally and ethnically wrong and we need to do a better job of taking care of nature. I understand that some blame is from the volcanoes of hawaii, but feel like us humans do way more damage than what mother nature brings. +Wow, did you guys hear anything about this? It would be cool if men could take birth control as well. Not just to relieve the burden from women, but for men to have their own sexual freedom as well. Condoms are really the only thing they have control over, and they're known to fail more often than any form of birth control. +It's sad the train wreck cost 4 people their lives. One can only hope none of the injured are critical. It would be great if they could find the cause of the accident. If they don't, who's to say it won't happen again? The statistics could be even worse next time. Wish this could have been prevented. +This currency ban is a bold and brave step for the Minister. it is a bitter bill to swallow at the beginning as can be evidenced by the poor Indian population even missing work to line up at ATMs to get cash. but it the long run it will be beneficial in abolishing corruption. surprise ban on most currency in circulation in India, a bold attack on corruption that crippled business at stores and markets around the country as millions scrambled for cash to meet even basic needs +There was just a 5.0 earthquake in Oklahoma. Fortunately, no one was badly injured. I didn't even know they had earthquakes there. It must be very scary to have to go through one of those. I'm glad we don't have them here. We used to have drills at school, in the event of an earthquake, but that just seems like a waste of time. I've never even been through one. +This article highlights the fact that although we may have profound faith in the goodness of human nature, we never know when a killer is walking among us. The recent spate of mass shootings at schools and other locations underline the presence of disturbed people in our midst. Besides defending ourselves, we need to ask ourselves what in our society is provoking this disturbing behavior. Certainly the ubiquity and ease of acquiring guns is one cause, but there may be others that need attention as well. +There has been unrest over the disputed region of Kshmir between Packistan and India. It looks as though there were 13 civilians killed during this latest skirmish. It's pathetic to see so many innocent people being killed for no reason over this disputed land. Already there have been two wars fought between these two countries. I hope they can reach a peaceful settlemnt but since this has been ongoing for over 70 years I highly doubt that this will actually happen. +I am really saddened by what is happening in Brazil. I can't stand that this type of damage is happening in nature. We as citizens of the world really have to step up our efforts so that it doesn't happen more often. We should little by little try to reverse the damage that has been done for better good. +New data shows airline discrimination complaints jumped 37 percent — The Transportation Department is making more data available about complaints of racial, ethnic and religious discrimination filed against the airlines, the agency said Tuesday. The department said it was releasing the data to the public in an attempt to be more transparent about such complaints and how they are handled. +I think the robbers probably knew that jewelry would be harder to get away with because in order to make money selling it, they could be tracked and found out that they were her pieces. It makes more sense to steal money and they probably thought she would have a lot considering she is a huge celebrity. They must not have bothered to think that she probably wouldn't have cash. I feel bad that she went through that. +Terrorism has become so commonplace that it does not even alarm me anymore. It is simply just another day in the world that we have come to live in. No one really wants to address the reasons that drive people to terrorism, so I guess we will just continue to let the media sensationalize death and complain about it the next day. +This is really scary. I don't think I would want to have my life in the hands of someone else like on this whaling boat. someone's stupid mistakes can really be bad news for everyone trusting that person. I'm not sure If i'd be interested in going out on a boat, whaling, or even a cruise ship after reading this article.Just one wrong move from another person can seal your fate. It must have been so terrifying for these people. I definitely believe all the trauma they say they have endured and I would definitely rule for them in the suits they brought against the plantiff. +After reading the article about Azalia Banks and Russell Crowe, I must say it was rather humiliating. They treated her really bad. I felt compassion for her. I tried to put myself into her shoe and I know I would have broken down and cried. She should have controlled her tongue as well, violence begot violence and a soft answer turns away wrath. Russell is not much of a lady's gentleman he could have dealt with the issue in an amicable manner. Maybe they could just let bygones be bygones and put it behind them. It was rather unfortunate. +ABUJA, Nigeria ― After her father died two years ago during a Boko Haram raid on her village in Yobe, Nigeria, 16-year-old Zulyatu, her younger siblings and their mother fled to Biu, a town in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state. A year ago their mother left for another town to get treatment for high blood pressure from a traditional healer, leaving Zulyatu alone to care for her siblings, 12-year-old Abubakar and 8-year-old Amira. +That's interesting about the buzzing possibly being created by the brain. I always thought it was created by the auditory nerve. Someone very close to me deals with tinnitus every day, and I always thought it was odd because I'm the one who has worked in high noise environments, but she's the one who suffers with it. It's interesting because it says psychotherapy is a possible solution which would make us very happy if it's real. +I just read on a news paper about a situation in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka about their water situations. They are confronted with a very complicated water problem that is quickly turning extremely serious. The capital city has a population of 15 million. They are pumping the water from the city from the underground and the water is dropping with 9 feet every year. My understanding is that the water is becoming less potable as the pumping is going deeper being contaminated with arsenic. The researchers are trying to locate the contaminated areas and in the meantime thinking of different sources of water such as the one with the help of monsoon. They do have serious problems over there and sounds pretty difficult to have it fixed. Many will have to suffer unfortunately in the meantime +The medical profession is clueless according to three articles I just read. They have no idea how to treat obese or transgender people, among others, and doctors routinely act based on biases and stereotypes. For example, scales aren't calibrated or constructed to weigh obese people and medication dosage often doesn't take weight into account. Doctors just tell patients to lose weight and rush them out of the office. Not that the rest of us are protected from medical protocols that are outdated and sometimes harmful, either. What to do? +I just read an article about the awful treatment of animals of zoos in foreign countries from us. Feeling a little down thinking of how these people could treat the animals how they could continue to raise animals in zoos where people will come and view them while they're ill hurt and some even dying. Even after receiving help to get these animals to a better location where they can be cared for properly other zoos are still continuing with bad treatment and allowing visitors to come witness it. Just like a child animals depend on us if we have them caged either let them out of the cage or take care of them why is that so hard for people to understand or do? +GBR The great barrier reef. I read an article that stated that it was on life support. That the beaching incident of two thousand sixteen amongst others things have left it close to death. The GBR covers 1400miles and has 70000 jobs hanging in the balance. Its crazy because this thing is 25 million yers old. We have to do something. +According to Dr. Jack Drescher, a leading specialist and critic of conversion therapy practices, there is not just one set of practices understood to be used in conversion therapy. “People have tried all kinds of things because none them really work,” he told The Huffington Post. Drescher also said that the majority of research surrounding conversion therapy has taken place on adults who’ve undergone the process, and there is very little research surrounding LGBTQ youth who have been through conversation therapy practices. “But of course you have anecdotal stories,” he said. “Some children have reported running away from home, there have been cases in the news of young people of when their family found out about them or they came out and the family insisted they go to conversion therapy +hello brother I am learning the news I am very happy that you are already in sacrament I am happy that after completing your dream of playing in the NBA is a great time for you and you should know how to take advantage of this great opportunity take care of yourself and succeed.I'm really very proud of you +It's absolutely horrible how Indian government treats their people! Poverty, disease, no regulations when it comes to the environmental safety standards. My heart goes out to these people because they deserve to live in peace on this Earth and be healthy and prosperous just like everyone else. Such a blatant disregard for human life! India is like hell in Earth. I would lock up these government people in solitary confinement for life and let the fly ash befall on their heads so they can find out what getting tuberculosis and liver decease is like for these poor people! The situation in India just never ends, makes you wonder where all these mega wealthy Indian royals are?!!! Why isn't the fly ash falling on them, or why aren't they drinking polluted water that causes lung illness!!! +Officers shooting at unarmed black men needs to stop. I know there are some really good cops out there, but the bad ones are the ones giving the good ones a bad rep. More officers should be vetted before they go to the academy. They need to have better background checks. I completely understand if someone was armed and the officers were in fear of their safety for them to shoot, but if a white officer shoots at an unarmed black man for no reason, that's wrong. +there is a lot going on in this one and I had lots of different emotions throughout the whole thing. numerous issues with the article I read, cops shooting people, people being sent to prison for far too long of a period of time, as well as militias being formed to protect land. I feel our land is important ,I feel as though cattle should be able to graze and that we have a huge problem when it comes to economic issues,due to the way that livestock is taken care of,to produce food for people. It is heartbreaking to see people fight for land they love it, and it’s heartbreaking for the police to have to shoot people over it. people lose years of their lives in prison over land and cattle and thousands upon thousands of dollars wasted in court cases. the whole article was a mess! +I think zuckermans opinions on the oil import has some actual valid points. I feel like his plans and what he wants to do is a good idea. I also feel liek their are too many people just trying to make a quick few bucks, theyll do anything and everything to get there way. I feel bad for some of the less fortuanate consumers who have to be tricked into paying these ridulous high prices foroil. +This is sad on the surface, that these two passed away while scuba diving at such an old age, but then I consider it. These two people - lived their life together - went somewhere glorious and had a wonderful time on vacation together before passing. It is morbid, yes, but is it not also somewhat beautiful? +So many politicians don't see how serious global warming is and refuse to do anything about it. I'm not the biggest environmentalist and sometimes I ignore the whole climate change thing, but I do believe it is happening and know that our government needs to do something about it. I have no faith in our current government to do anything, but I hope others around the world will and we as individuals can do something, even little things. Maybe doing things collaboratively can help change things for the better. +This feels so typical. The burden of safe sex has fallen to the woman for decades, ever since the oral contraceptive was introduced. Women frequently have to decide between accepting disturbing side effects or accepting the risk of pregnancy, whereas men have never had to make that choice. There will never be true equality until men and women face the risks and consequences of sex equally. +It's a shame how troubled the middle east is and has been for the longest time. I wish we could come to some agreement with the rest of the world on how to realistically handle the multiple situations in the middle east. I feel that we should pull out and let them handle their problems on their own with only some guidance from us. +The United States should be ashamed of how this last election went. It was sad that they could not be fair to other countries in the campaigning. Trump bullied other countries and the other bullies in the US voter for him. There is no reason why such a fool should be running our country. I know as Americans anyone can become president, but that does not mean that they do not have to be presidential material. +All of this unrest in the middle east makes me afraid to ever leave North America. I'm glad that it turned out that the shooter was mentally unstable instead of being involved in a larger plot. I wish I had some answers that could make all this war easier but I just don't understand why everyone can't just get along. +These people argue about who's fault it is, but in the end, we're just moving down a highway together, that we build together, and all these dangerous curves are our own fault. The truth to me is, all the Republican party did to win was take advantage of disenfranchised people who are tired of things that happened ten years ago and beyond, so they looked to the only people who would listen to them, even if they were wrong. +the eldest generation of russians aren't being treated properly and should have some sort of financial compensation. they are living off very little per day financially and live in poor conditions. after paying utilities, they barely have enough for food. health care has also taken a turn for the worse because they can't afford to get proper health treatment due to the costs involved +Oh my god. Did you hear about this story of this family of two girls that got killed on Halloweed? Apparently they were hit in a trailer and that cause them to die. Could you imagine just wanting to go out and have fun while trick and treating but then you get the sad news that you daughters are dead? This is heartbreaking for that family. +In all honesty. I have read so many of these articales it is all starting to run together and i am forgetting what i am reading. The time and pay i have spent on this is starting to look like it is not worth completing the hit because it is becoming unfair pay versus time i am spending reading all these articles and wasting time +This article was quite interesting to me. It talked about the invention of a new male contraceptive. It talks about the potential side effects that steer men away from using the contraceptive. The writer of the article mocks men for avoiding these contraceptives when female contraceptives have way more side effects to them. I personally disagree with the writer - if male contraceptives were invented before female contraceptives, I believe that males would have no problem using them despite the side effects. What are your thoughts? +This is an old article, that made the Paris accords seem so responsible and dutiful, until Trump revealed that it was a crap deal that took advantage of the US, obligating them to pay way more than other countries. Plus the soonest results of this regulation will not occur for a century, and will be just a blip of difference. It's a scam. +I think they should both be charged with murder. It's obvious at least one of them did it but I'm assuming both. It's crazy what this world has come to people just killing people all the time and usually for no reason. It's crazy and people need to be punished harsher. If you kill someone on person for no reason you should automatically get the death sentence. +I am thankful that there are people who care about this issue, but I really don't. I feel like this is just part of the life-cycle and I don't really get why so much money is being wasted on a problem and isn't necessarily crucial. However, as I said, it's probably good that people who know more about this issue than I do are caring about the problem. +I've been reading about the drastic increase in migrants trying to get from Africa to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea. This year has seen large amounts of people seeking refuge in Europe, and large increases in fatalities for those attempting the crossing. These people are fleeing desperate conditions in hope of a better life and are attempting risky crossings because there are not enough safe ways to migrate. +I think it is crazy that these employees were put through this at Well's Fargo. I have never worked at a bank before, but being told to reach a quota, even by the means of doing illegal tasks to accomplish what they needed to do. I can't imagine coming into working everyday and wondering if I was going to be considered a good or a bad employee. It would infuriate me to have earned a bonus and then be told I cannot have it because I am being developed as an employee. I am glad they decided to make the change. It sounds better for their employees. +It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore. It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore.It should be easily doable to help others but idk why no one even tries anymore. +After reading how so many people think Trump will ruin this country I think its fair to say some of our most beloved Presidents acted the same why yet we keep them up on pedestals. Today with social media we just see the problems more out in front since nothing is private anymore. I'm older 63 as you know and my mom and granny taught me how to behave. Don't go into a room with some man you don't know. If he tries something tell someone. All these ladies who kept quiet or were paid off in some way are just as big a part of the problem as any man who abuses them. Ladies time for us to take responsible for what happens. +Why were 43 students highjacking buses? That wasn't taught in my school. Bus high-jacking 101. They seriously failed. I am rather doubting that is true though. If the police are willing to give "criminals" over to the drug cartels, I'm pretty sure they aren't above lying about it. One of my coworkers hasn't visited her family in years because their state has become so crime ridden they won't let her come home. They say it isn't safe for her. How stupid sad is that? And God forbid they try to come here to escape that mess. Right wing crazies do not have any compassion for people just trying to live, it seems. +I can't believe what I just read. I read this article about how riot police took down some pipeline protestors in North Dakota. The armed police used such violent and aggressive tactics to take down the protestors. The protestors were Native Americans and environmental activists. Being environmental activist ourselves could you imagine how we would react to being treated this way. They used sonic devices and rubber bullets shooting the protestors in the face. I'm outraged by these actions. This is totally uncalled for and violates several codes of conduct. The cause of the protest was that the pipeline was affecting the local's water supply. I don't blame them for protesting one bit. The actions and the engagement by the riot police of North Dakota was shameful and they should be punished. +We all live in the same America. I believe that we all have the same hopes,dreams and goals. I can understand to some Trump represents the return of jobs and other industry, but to others he is a symbol of hate. I know you voted for him and I know that you are not racist, but can you see how much this has torn the country apart? We both know that the country was not already united as one, but this has made it worst. I do not see it getting any better anytime soon. I hope the country can heel and both sides can work it out. +Positions of power will ALWAYS, inevitably be taken over by a corrupt and greedy type of individual or group of people. Any time you have a person who has authority over another person, eventually things will go bad. Whether it's kings demanding that they get to deflower any bride before her wedding day (as a law) or our own United States government attempting to strip more and more freedoms from us when we're already slaves... These are the acts of corruption. These are the acts of cowardice, scum-bag gangsters that wear suits. +Heyy! Although this story is sad, I found it definitely alarming and should serve as an example on how this obsession with selfies needs to stop. Apparently, a guy was killed by a python because he was trying to take a good selfie. I think he was one of those people who like to take selfies doing something daring +What would we do without friends? Have you ever given it a thought? Friends are there, right by your side, through thick and thin, adding the right flavors to your life -- cheering you up when you're down, laughing with you till you're both on the floor clutching your stomachs, holding your hand when you're not strong enough to face the world... When you are blessed with true friends you can always count on, you can bravely face any storm and tackle obstacles with a smile. +This is the world we live in now. Until we have heavy weapons that are meant for killing like guns, explosives, and machines, we will never have an end in the conflict in Middle East -- or any country for that matter. If it does finish, a lot of people will suffer and die first which is worrisome. Millions and millions of people experience subhuman living conditions and there's nothing we can do. +I am sharing this because I wish people can understand what humans are doing to the environment and how its actually affecting our climate. WE ARE going through climate change, and it seems like the world does not care because there's still pollution and etc. The artic glaciers are melting, waters are getting warmer and people say that's not "global warming". Definitely give this article a read if you are into environmental stuff. +Who cares about North Korea! I hope they all drowned. Waaah they are having a flood and hope the international community responds? Please Billy. Maybe they should stop sending nuclear missiles over other countries. Maybe that fat butch head could eat less and send a couple dollars to the victims. I could care less about North Korea and am highly glad they are getting flooded. Serves them right. +Oh hey, check it out. Another article about the same thing that's been repeated over and over again, but it's not really changing anything. I am just sending it to you because I'm an idiot that doesn't care about what you think. It just goes on and on about meat production and how that's harming the environment. I can't wait for lab grown meat to be the standard, but that's not really in this. So, read away about cow farts. +There was some anti jewish graffitti in my community after trumps election too. I think these jewish feeling were feeling like a lot of us after trumps election, like America wasn't a safe place to be anymore. He opened it up to racism, sexism, and bigotry. Not that those weren't already there, but he made it seem like those were okay. I felt like that as a woman, and I talked to other women who did too, like you. It felt like these people felt, like suddenly it was okay to harrass women, because the president does it too. +Sally Brampton should serve as an example to others. Talk about being forgotten. She demonstrated clear signs of needing help, and the system failed her. What a terrible loss! A successful, intelligent, conflicted woman who was lost way too soon. It is sad to see someone struggle with depression and other mental illnesses. Society needs to do better to help people in need, especially when they are asking for it. IT is a shame what happened to her. +Do you know about Zika virus news ? That like dengue and West Nile virus, this mosquito-spread disease is now going to be a regular fixture — and a perennial risk for pregnant women. The huge bloom of Zika activity in the Americas right now is unprecedented. A longtime US Army scientist who is now semiretired, Halstead believes Zika will vanish in a few years, likely for decades. That’s the way another arbovirus, chikungunya works, he wrote in an article in Emerging Infectious Diseases last year. “The rate at which people are getting infected right now certainly suggests that we’re heading, within a year or two, to achieve sufficient herd immunity for this virus to die out, +I just read a very sad article about a man who recently lose his family from a car accident. The car was hit by someone who lost control while speeding and slammed into the car with the family, causing all of them to die. The person speeding, along with his family were also killed. It's so sad and troubling knowing that someone has to go through such tragedies in life due to other peoples careless mistakes. May God rest their poor souls. +Gun control should be a priority in our country. After reading about children who lost their lives due to gun violence, it's hard to argue that it's way to easy to get your hands on a gun. Americans are much like people all over the world, but we have infinitely more gun deaths, and it's all because of the ease of acquiring those guns. +I really do not understand what has become of our society.Have you heard about the guy who shot several people at the shopping mall?Because of him,six people were injured and three dead and some three people had eye injuries because of the broken glasses.The guy is only 20 from Turkey and guess what,he has been charged with murder because he confessed. +This is the type of thing that really scares me. I would be very interested in viewing this video. How in the world does one shoot their own relatives and two police officers? What gives this person the right to take someone else life? Those people may have had children, mothers, sisters, friends, co-workers, and now they are dead, and for what? How did this individual go so long without being apprehended. Sometimes the system really confuses me and upsets me. I wish they would have caught him sooner and kept him alive so he could explain his actions. +Hey, I know you asked me about what happened to that mother and her baby in New York and here's the full article. It's so sad...that baby could have lived their life to the fullest and now it's cut short. The mother will have to grieve over what happened to...It's so sad that things like this happen. +I am so sick and tired of Donald Trump. He has no idea what he is doing. He is making America a laughing stock to the world. He is a puppet. He is a big man baby who cannot take criticism or do a job right. He's not as rich as he says. He does what he wants and figures money will take care of it all. I cannot wait till he is out of office. +The move comes after Human Rights Watch published a report detailing accounts by dozens of women and girls who said they were sexually abused or coerced into sex. The women said they were raped or abused by camp leaders, vigilante group members, policemen and soldiers at camps in Borno State's capital, Maiduguri. The camps were set up to offer aid to people displaced by fighting in Nigeria's northeast. Nigeria's Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has set up a special team "to immediately commence thorough Investigation into all cases of alleged sexual abuses, exploitation, harassments, gender-based violence and professional misconduct," a statement from the inspector general's office said Thursday. Police: Security at camps to be beefed up Some of the victims had escaped captivit +Here is another example of domestic gun violence that is happening in america. I know that you feel very strongly about this issue and figured that you might want to read this article that I found. It is such a sad story, and until we get the guns off the street, these stories are just going to keep coming up. +Veterans deserve all the support from this nation. They put in risk their lives for us, for our freedom and security. Most of the people have no idea what those people have seen and experienced in a war zone, or the toll that these experiences can take on an individual, matter how strong they are, I'm sure they have suffered traumatic experience, and they really need help before their battles. +So I just read another article where a teacher compared President Trump to Adolph Hitler. And the teacher had the nerve to say that his lesson plans are always "factually based". The last time I checked, Donald Trump has not interred 15 million Jews to concentration camps where he has killed them. Typical liberal Democrat with so much hyperbole. Teachers need to stick to teaching the facts and not interjecting their opinions into their lessons. +This makes me very upset. They don't want to take responsibility, blames it on something else. It's clearly your fault and you should feel guilty for killing all these people. They have every right to sue you for your stupid mistake. We live in a world with idiots. Next time you take the car to work, remember that you can't count yourself to be safe if you are careful. +This story I have read was heart breaking! Two men were shot, one twice in the stomach and the other shot in the back. Sadly no weapons were recovered and no arrests were made causing me to worry the person that did this is free. This upsets me worried for myself and others, hoping to protect the community from the criminal gun man still at large. The two men were taken to the hospital, hoping for a speedy recovery for them and comfort for their families after this tragic incident! The terrible time they must all be going through now. Worrying and stressing over this unthinkable situation. I sure do hope the person responsible is found and arrested quickly, to keep our community safe from additional attacks and to to get him the help he needs. Not to mention time in prison. Certainly right +Some of the drivers around this place need to be taken out of their cars and arrested. Some people were struck on Highway 80 near Chunky. Some kids were involved. I think three people died. They were riding on the back of a trailer celebrating Halloween. A vehicle collided with the trailer probably a drunk. I think they were just in a hurry like everyone else around here. I guess that driver is going to get it. +I just read an article about wind turbines killing birds. I hadn't ever thought about it before, but it makes a lot of sense. It's just curious that in trying to be "green," were actually hurting part of the ecology. Apparently, hundreds of thousands of birds are being killed annually. Worst of all, they are killing Golden Eagles, an endangered species! It's just really sad. +Gosh, who would do something as horrible as kill an innocent animal (and a baby at that)? However, I am glad that the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group and the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign set up a reward to catch whoever did that. I was also happy to see that it was an immediate response, not a delayed one. It's sad that people won't come forward on their own to bring justice and that there has to be a monetary incentive. +I really am sick of these pseudo scientists running around screaming the sky is falling. It is a load of garbage science. The take a snapshot of the earth, a vastly complicated system with millions of variables that is in constant flux and motion. They plug this into a model with a couple of hundred hand picked variables and pronounce that we are all doomed. It is bad science and everyone knows it. +Ugh have you seen what's going on in New Delhi? The air pollution over there is horrible and so many people are getting seriously sick! They are calling the city a gas chamber because the air quality is so bad. I'm so glad we don't have to deal with that around here but I really feel for all of the children who are being affected by all of this. I can't imagine how helpless parents feel when there's nothing they can do to help their kids. +This ticks me off for two reasons: One, that we've messed up the Australian ecosystem so badly, and two, that people are going to read it and say "Oh, no, it wasn't climate change at all, so we don't have to do anything to fix it." Either way, it was man-made problems that did this little guy in. I wish they would blame it thoroughly on climate change, so people would maybe be spurred to do something. Instead, right now they'll say "Oh, it wasn't *really* climate change," and when a more clear-cut extinction happens, they'll point back to this and say "Well, it's been going on for a long time now, nothing we can do." Christ. +So, I was reading recently about how Kenya deported a South Sudan opposition official. despite threats against him, they deported him as tensions rose over peacekeeping efforts. Kenyan authorities have reacted super angrily to a U.N. decision this week to dismiss the Kenyan general in charge of the peacekeeping force there, for failing to protect civilians during a recent outbreak of violence. +I think it's so rude when people mock government officials and get so full of them selves over politics. It really just burns me up that people can't get along in regards to it. I hate reading about politics in general and it is even worse when you have to read about grown adults bickering and arguing over it all. Joe Walsh and Diana Duckworth both are very immature. What do you think? +it funny how people do stupid things that just pop into their mind like taking a topless selfie while driving just to send it to the other person . seriously if u want to do that just park the car at the site and do it , it not ur live that u are putting in danger ,it also other ppl live thatu can easily ruined if u dont drive carefully +I've never heard of this person or this talk show, have you? Mostly I find this stuff kind of boring, and although it's sad for people to lose their jobs, this happens all the time, and to people who have probably earned a lot less than these people, and who have a lot less prospects of being reemployed. Shows are cancelled all the time, so I get kind of annoyed with this kind of news. +An article that I just read is really pretty disturbing. It speaks of the tremendous droughts in the river areas of Bolivia. It's bad enough because it is just a natural disaster situation, but the fact that there was also mismanagement involved is particularly troubling. The government failed to properly care for the canals. The article also speaks of selling off many of its wild animals. This might become a very serious problem given the fact that some of the animals are endangered species such as the wild dog. They are also looking at selling off elephants, lions and pythons. Even if they do this, how much of the money will ever actually reach its citizens to help them? +it is too bad that so many people still deny that polution and man made climate change is destroying our natural world. it makes me wonder what will be left for my grandchildren to enjoy of our natural world. in my life i have noticed the degredation of the ourdoors to a fair extent and it is only accelerating. woe to mankind. +This is horrifying. You're just going about your business, then someone takes issue with you, and suddenly you're dead. Maybe you didn't even interact with them and they just decided to kill you for fun. It's deeply troubling and makes you suspicious of every stranger on the street. I also feel bad for those who had to witness this and didn't have time to do anything to stop it. I'd imagine some feel guilty even though they couldn't have helped. +The outer boom which was put in place to contain the spilled oil had broke free on Friday causing the oil to spread and bad weather had prevented clean up crews from working on the spill for four consecutive days. By Saturday, salvage crews had recovered more than 40 percent of the 200,000 liters of fuel estimated to be in the vessel, but the damage had already been done. +Hey, Josh here is another example of total insanity in a nation that has taken millions of jobs from people around the world but refuses to give any serious consideration to the health and welfare of its citizens. These people are pawns and the sad thing is no one there has the will to fix any of the sanitation problems or air quality issues. What is so hard about it? Maybe they should start eating some of their relatives, you know, cattle. +Damaging the Amazon rain forest, one of the most iconic and well-known rain forests known to man, just to get oil is simply inexcusable. The US's hunt for crude oil is coming with disastrous consequences and needs to be rectified. By tearing down the Amazon trees, hurtful greenhouse gases are rising into the air, damaging the air quality around us. Corporations shouldn't be able to hurt the environment like this. It makes me angry. +If it's not bad enough that the father is a child molester who molested his own child, the mother had the nerve to join in on the abuse. I doubt very serious if she was forced to do it as she could have divorced him or left him rather commit such a heinous crime and money is no excuse. I wouldn't molest my child for all the money in the world. These people were just sicking perverse sorry excuses for human beings. +I don't know how they do it. They get abused in their own country, then abused by orgs that are supposed to help. I simply don't know why they would want to live. They are very strong. No org HAS to help them but if they sign up to help- then help. I think some are doing the best they can to help. However- more has to be done- Animals can't be left this way, so why can people? +Just when you think you have heard enough crazy Donald Trump stories this one takes the cake. I just read about a mother from Fresno Texas who not only kicked her elementary son out of the house for voting in a mock school election for Donald Trump she also videotaped it. Well, of course, the video went viral. The Fort Bend County Texas sheriff's department went to check out the situation and the child seemed to be in good health. The mother made the child stand on the street corner with a sign telling why he was kicked out of the house. The mother claims now that it was only a joke. I hope the child is not permanently scarred from this incident. +As if our immigration problem couldn't get any worse! Now Haitian immigrants are going through Mexico to show up at the Cali border! I hope they all get deported. Immigrants are nothing but a plague on this country, for the most part, save the elite ones we get from areas of Asia. The Haitians would do nothing to stimulate our economy, would all end up on public assistance, and would cost taxpayers like you and me! We really can't afford to keep letting them stream into the country, but the good news is that most of them are being booted. We just need to change "MOST" to "ALL" because there is nothing good that can come of letting them in the country!! +Remember that you where telling me about how you were having trouble sleeping lately? Maybe you should take a look at this article that I found online about sleep paralysis and what it is all about and how it is affecting this guy. I hope that it can help you out a little bit with what you have been going through. +Awww, this story is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine what this family is going through. Did you see this? I am hopeful that they can find peace. If something like this happened to me, I do not know what I would do. I guess that this just reminds us that life is precious and we should appreciate what we have! +It's just so distressing to read about the negative effects we constantly have on defenseless animals. Human beings need to be more respectful of the planet and its native biodiversity. I just finished reading an article about an endangered species in the Gulf called the Vaquita that is slated to be extinct by 2022 due to nothing beyond happening to be in the water where people are fishing. It's just so thoughtless, so shortsighted, and so frustratingly preventable. +Dear friend, I have just finished reading the most heartbreaking article. I read the story of a man, Wesley O'Dell, and his wife finding a tortured dead kitten on the side of the road. The kitten was wrapped in electrical cords and its jaw was ripped apart. The body was already stiff when they found it. Now O'Dell and his wide are asking people to share the story as an attempt to bring awareness to animal abuse and try to prevent it in the future. +This article is interesting. I guess there is risk with everything and now men concieved through IVF may have trouble conceiving themselves. I'm glad I didn't have to go the IVF route, although I guess it's not a sure thing that the men conceived through IVF will have a lower sperm count, but I guess the risk is higher. I don't think there are too many people that know about this information. it's the first time I've ever heard of it. +So, a man in china, put a chopstick into his penis. Yeah, you heard me. He wanted to see if he had an infection or something, and instead of being a normal person, and going to the doctor, he decided to self examine and see what he could find. He ended up having to have surgery to remove the chopstick out of hiis penis. What would possess a man, to do such a thing?, The only thing I can think of after reading this story,, is about how real mental ilness is.. There is no other excuse in my opinion on why someone so masochistic. I mean, the doctors said, any further , and he would have killed himself. It hurst me just thinking about this. +I read an article about Typhoon Meranti. The article said the storm passed by Taiwan without actually hitting the island, which I suppose was a good thing, because evidently there was another storm in 2009, Typhone Morakot, that killed a bunch of people and did billions of dollars of damage. I'm glad I don't live somewhere where there's any inclement weather like that, it must be miserable to live on an island where it's hot and crowded. +People working in Financial institutions or banks should be honest and do what is morally right. Workers who opened fake accounts should be fired, that is unethical. No one would be expecting such a huge scam at Wells Fargo. I am deeply saddened, I have an account with Wells Fargo. I have to be paying close attention to my account, one never knows when something will go wrong. +Hey buddy. I think this article made me worried about this Zika situation. It is spreading with such vigor like never before and it kills very fast. I think the whole world needs to be on alert and health scientists need to be working hard to try and eradicate this disease. It's gonna take some time but something needs to be done +Thats really heartbreaking to read the story about the man who lost his family in a car crash. I think people who street race are acting very dangerously for now reason and it is usually very stupid young males who do this. I dont know what sense to make out of this since the woman and her children did not seem to do anything to deserve this. Maybe it takes stories like this to make us realize how p[precious life is and how careful we must be +These numbers leave little room to think that climate change is not happening. As you know, I firmly believe in the importance of environmental protections and think climate change is a problem. However, articles like this only add to the problem. These numbers are shocking on the surface but could easily be explained by natural fluctuations year to year. I wish they would focus on balanced science instead. +I kind of think this article was written in a tongue-in-cheek manner especially when you read that last line--what a pun! If there is any truth to it, though, what could possible cause these kinds of chemical burns on a shampoo product that should be thoroughly tested when mixed with water in the shower. How could it even happen like that? Is there actual lye in these bottles? I guess we'll find out when the case goes to trial. +Wow - I don’t know what I’d do in this situation. How sad for these people. They have to leave everything behind, and they really don’t have a lot of options. I feel really sad for the children. It’s like they have no home. What a mess. I wish the middle east wasn’t so violent. I don’t understand all the hate. +This article I just read talks about another mass shooter. Well, not so much mass shooter like some of the recent ones, but they did open fire in public and kill 5 people. I can't help but feel disgusted that these things still happen. I really hope that this guy gets what he deserves, because this has to stop. +I'm sorry....I don't mean to laugh...but.....this was TOO MUCH. I hate to admit that I found it a little bit funny, but at the same time, I feel sorry that this man was this ignorant to do this to himself. Now he's going to have to go through so much more stuff, when in all likeliness, a simple urine test probably would have been performed to find a solution to the issue to begin with. +no matter what your heritage, you should be able to serve your country. her thai heritage shouldn't preclude her and shouldn't have been an issue in this debate. tammy duckworth and her family should be congratulated on the services they have provided to this country. any type of racism should not be allowed in a debate +Man how sad, that is terrible to imagine what the poor dog went through. I don't think we should hate the guy too much, even though he should definitely face consequenes. Ultimately I am sure he's really heart broken about what happened to the dog, and it was just a mistake not like some negelectful, hateful act. +I just read an article about suicide, it was really sad. It started off talking about a 12 year old girl who was interested in suicide groups online. One day she went to school, or so her mother thoght. The mother recieved a phone call from the channel A&E notifiing her that her daughter had took her own life. The article went on to say how Russia was third in the world in suicides. It was a really sad article. +This article was about the disturbing finds by the Iraqi military as they re-captured territory from retreating Islamic State fighters. They found mass graves of people killed by ISIS and although there is some confusion about the details, there are dozens or maybe over 100 bodies. There is also evidence of torture. The ISIS fighters were certainly brutal towards their victims, and have captured many more to use as human shields or to kill outright for their perceived beliefs. +We live in a world someone can not only be arrested for their thoughts, but can be seen as a target for violence from monsters. From the shooter, to the local government, these actions should be condemned on all fronts. The government was wrong to arrest the deceased, and the murderer was of course wrong for shooting him to death . I am saddened that someone lost his life because of his charge of a charged message. While I do feel glad that apparent justice will be served in this case, this just goes to show you how violent some people can become when you toss religious ideals into the mix. +This is so sad. Something needs to be done for these refugees. People need to be more accepting of them. People shouldn't be afraid of letting them into their country, they are just people who need help. I feel so bad for the babies, children and mothers on these boats. It's horrifying to imagine drowning in the sea, especially from the eyes of a child. +There was more bombing over in Syria in the news over the weekend. There were over 300 casualties including small children. A father and son were found dead in the rubble as well as two boys whose mother survived in an adjoining room. It seems like the violence in the Middle East is never ending. +I honestly cant remember what i read. I walked away for a drink and came back and i completely forgot. Reading these articles like this in succession is tedious and makes the stories asll run together making the retention of the story hard to keep. I would have reread the article if i could and there was an option to +The person was robbed the money at gun point and escaped from that place. The victim calls the 911 and the police investigation the victim and gathered some information about the criminal. Then they are start to search the criminal.The victim calls the 911 and the police investigation the victim and gathered some information about the robbery. +wow sleep paralysis sounds so scary! I hope that this never happens to me ! I think that It was affect me for a long time . I'm sure that those few short seconds that is happens seems like hours . I would probably have a heart attack from being so scared. Yeah no thank you on any of that . I will be making sure I don't drink before going to bed from now on. +Just read another "EPA" article promoting its usual bull shit. This time its the "a la The Simpsons fish with 3 heads" where a scientist is taking a picture of his ONE deformed Salmon he cought and wants the entire world to flip out about his 1 mutated fish. Well, ever seen a 4 leaf clover? Thats "mutated" as well right? +Thinking about water contamination is a scary thought. When that can effect our children it makes things even worse. The crisis in Flint is unacceptable and to hear about the drinking fountain in Chicago makes things even worse. It makes you think that major improvements need to made across the US. New laws need to be put in place to ensure everyone is getting healthy water. +I just read an article about Susan Sarandon asking people to put their money where their mouth is in regards to the Dakota Access Pipeline. While I don't agree with her position, I do agree with that statement. If people want to whine about it, they should step up and help instead of crying on social media. +See? This is why sometimes I rather ignore the news. Shootings over there, people dead over here, drugs, etc. It makes me sick the kind of world we live in. Hundreds of deaths just because they thought these people were related to drug dealing? I mean, did they even had some kind of proof? Why shoot to kill? Why not stick to the laws and put them in jail if they were found guilty? +I found a story about Kate Beckinsale and her husband, Len Wiseman, they have pulled the plug on their marriage ... TMZ has learned. Wiseman cited irreconcilable differences. His docs state both he and Kate have waived any right to spousal support, and that suggests there's a prenup. They were married in 2004 and have no kids together. TMZ broke the story ... the couple's marriage was on the rocks last November. Len was spotted out with model CJ Franco, and Kate we seen shortly after -- sans wedding ring -- on the red carpet. +did you hear about that Indian girl from Kashmir who got blinded by the government with pellet guns that have sharp edges. She wasn't doing anything but standing by a window. These corrupt governments are so evil. Kashmir is being fought over and innocent people are being killed and hurt. It really is disgusting what these governments are doing. +Hey I just read this article about more craziness ISIS is doing? Sometimes the articles have so many names of places I don't recognize and can't pronounce that I get a little off track of the point of the article. I gues those terrorists are using people as human shields to keep and take control or surroundings areas. They know this is against UN policy, but I doubt they care. There is always something going on in the Middle East, it seems nothing gets better for the people just trying to live. I feel like something should be done to improve the situation, but it's been bad since I was a kid and I doubt it'll get better. +I can't believe people spend their money doing that kind of parties. I think its not correct to be extremist in how much we support a president. White supremacists are dangerous people with crazy ideology. They promote horrible values to their sons and to the society, they are not respectful with other races and that hurt the society, specially here in United States that is a multi-cultural country. This groups should disappear from the map as soon as possible! Their ideology is useless in a country like this. +Wow. So sad to see yet another species on the way to extinction. It's crazy to think that there's only 60 of one species left in the world. I know that it was the same way with the white rhino - it was like we knew it was coming, but we were completely unable to stop it, because it was just too late. I wonder if they could keep them in captivity. +People often think of what it must be like to be in the 1% and be ultra successful. But often times we forget about the many pressures and responsibilities that come a long with that. Take Mikhail Lesin for example. The man was very well know and successful and look what happened to him he wound up dead just like everyone else. Now, the conclusion is that it was an accident, but the type of people and industries and location of the world leaves a lot of speculation. I guess thats a price you have to pay if you make enemies in the world. You are either looking over your shoulder all the time or completely stressed to death. What a world. +So I just read that article about Alexandria Vera. I know you know who she is, and I know the lawyer in you just wants to get in that case. I mean, can you imagine the nerve of a teacher to exploit a minor in that way. She deserves more than 30 years, if you ask me. And the parents of the minor ought to have been charged with something. That is disgraceful. I mean, what is happening in America today? Some of the things I read about make me sick! +This shooting is a good example of how black people and people w are wrongly prosecuted by the police. Now in this articles this gentlemen is getting a re-trial since they concur that he didn't do such thing and basically had the police lying to the judge. Now he can be fairly be judged and not be discriminated +Did you see the article about the attack in the mall in MI? Can you imagine, just minding your own business, and then this guy dressed as a security guard starts stabbing people, yelling something about Allah??? Thank GOD there was an off duty cop there to stop him, or imagine how long he could have gone on for? This is getting crazy. We've gotta do something. I don't want to be worried about my safety just going to the mall. +This is surprising news. First, how the news always make us believe that when a cop dies, is because of a black person (or someone who is not white), making race a big thing again. Number two, I am not saying that is good that people are dead, but instead, I am saying that not a lot of them are dead. And for those who are not dead, we should think about them, provide them with better guide, counseling and stuff like that, they go through traumatic events at work +What a shame. I wish the article went more into detail about what happened to the actress and the guy she was with. I'm assuming they just broke in and then used tear gas on the couple? How did they escape from the masked men? Or did the masked guys just steal stuff and then leave? I'm not sure what the gun laws in France are but these reports would make me feel uneasy there. +I feel sad yet again to here about more crimes against the native americans. The pipeline is disgusting and will no doubt result in leaks that contaminate water. It is good that people are protesting but I don't feel it will end up working. There is oil there and they will kill people if they need to just like they do in every other country. +I just don't understand how this is the country that we all say we love and adore, but yet when others come here there are so many stipulations for them, and then even when they succeed at jumping through all of the hoops they are forced to, they have even more guidelines behind that. It's just so unfortunate that these refugees will feel unsafe and ultimately feel like refugees for the rest of their lives. +I am so bothered and upset about the elementary school teacher that was charged with child pornography. I cannot believe a trusted individual would commit such a heinous crime involving children! This infuriates me to my core that someone could hurt innocent children this way! Does this make you just as mad? I really feel for those parents of the children involved and hope that it does not do permanent damage to all those sweet babies! +Gosh, the emotions I felt while reading that. Being a nurse, I would be so scared of such a mass emergency and worrying about it people would make it or not. It disgusts me that innocent people would be used as human shields. How could someone do that to someone else? And they purposely brought them into the center of the city with the intention of using them as human shields. +Hey buddy. Did you hear about this weird disease that is spreading amongst the frog population? Apparently it's a disease that happens due to people having ponds in their house. I worry what this disease could do to the local population of frogs. Tell anyone who has a pond to becareful with what they are moving in and out of their ponds. +How terrible it would be to live your life knowing you murdered someone. It would be interesting to speak to somebody, who was maybe sixty or seventy, and had murdered someone as a young person, what they would have to say about it, how they feel about it and what they've learned, having killed someone, about themselves and society. +I can't believe that this happened. Can you imagine what it must be like to flee from something so incredibly dangerous and then lose your life at sea or see people die while you're escaping? I wonder sometimes what must possess refugees to do this. Is there no other way for them to escape? Why do they risk their lives when they know the numbers of people who die in situations like this? It must be awful where they are coming from for them to risk it all. I mean, look at that star soccer player. She was like royalty in her country and a celebrated athlete. If even she took the risk and died, what must it be like for other people? +This is so disturbing. It says that they are killing chickens that are still awake during it. It's like they like torturing them. Why can't we be like Europe? In Europe they have rules on how this is supposed to be done. No we just let companies do whatever they like. How hard it is to kill something and make sure it's not awake while doing so? +I feel pretty indifferent about this kind of thing overall. It’s not fair to the men, but at the same time society has been conditioned in such a way that we have a higher demand for female models and lower demand for male models. Society is unfair in a lot of ways, and this is one of the few ways where women benefit over men. +Yo. I hope that you are ready to read a long ass article about things that both did not make a difference in the election and things that enough people decided did not fucking matter. It's another take on "look at what an asshole trump is" It's totally true, but nothing changed because of things like this so I don't see the reason of rehashing it. Trump's a real mother fucker, but he was a white man, so enough assholes voted for him. Anyway, please enjoy yet another garbage article. +I think that everyone should be aware of the people that they touch. There are times whenever we take others for granted. I think that we don't always tell each other about what their lives mean to us. I know that it is tough growing up alone in a world without others. I know that it is tough to make lasting friends. +I thought that this article was something very hurtful to read. I was reading about the fire and what happened to the place that these people live and it said that these people got hurt and injured and I felt very bad for them. I wish that there was a way that everyone could help along to. The people should be more careful about the fire and see the safety next time. +The article was about corruption at the International Monetary Fund, specifically the wrongdoing of former boss Rodrigo Rato. The banking industry is rife with issues like this, so it comes as no surprise that someone was trying to take advantage of the system even in an international organization like the IMF. The problem is that we do not have enough prosecutors that are willing to take on the banking industry and put them in their place. I'm tired of constantly hearing about people getting away with white collar crimes. +I don't really feel much of anything when I read about this sort of incident since it happens all the time, I guess if I had to come up with something I would say I feel vaguely annoyed and irritated, I don't see why people can't manage to watch sports games in an orderly, non-violent manner, so the fact that we have to deal with this nonsense every time a popular sporting event happens is irritating. I think that it should not be difficult for people to conduct themselves appropriately, so it is frustrating that this sort of thing happens so often during sporting and other events. +The fact that all Trump has to say when asked about his supporters being violent is "Stop it." Is laughable. Yet when he is asked his opinion on minorities like muslims or hispanics, he can go on for days. Him and his supporters have worms in their brains or something. There's no way any logical person capable of rationality would agree with half the things he says. +I can't even imagine what it would be like to be minding our own business in a club and then having someone come in and shoot you. This must have been terrifying for this person. I certainly hope they did not lose their life and I also hope this is not an incident that leads to further problems in the future. +Nothing gets to me more than hearing about hungry children. Nobody should go hungry. There's so much food in this world. It breaks my heart to hear about kids fainting in school because they've only had one meal for the day. I wish there was a way to help these kids more directly. I'm not one to give to large non-profit organizations but I feel so bad for these kids. +We need to make sure these brave people have more resources. Government needs to realize the value of animal tourism and do more to stop poaching. Once these precious animals are gone, there will be no bringing them back. We need to do more to make sure this does not happen. Poaching is a huge problem in Africa and penalties need to be severe +This is so sad guys. :( I can't believe this, I never knew how far reaching climate change actually was. These poor turtles are dying because of the temperature changes. Please do something, write your local senator so we can start to reverse this. We need to get back into the climate accords and become a leader in environmental sustainability, instead of what we have been doing. +I hear the British Government is looking to drill for oil again. This time they are looking to drill near the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda. Everyone is so dependent on oil all the time. Too bad for some giraffes that live there as they will be displaced. Of course I could really care less about giraffes 5000 miles away from me. Still I wish the giraffes the best I suppose. Brits are such weasels it figures they would look to kill a bunch of giraffes for their own selfish gains. Governments all stink. +Really? How are these people allowed to have children? Its really not that hard to not poison your child is it? I mean it shouldn't be, but maybe these people are high on their own drugs so they don't notice their kids are getting into them. Its really sad and something should certainly be done. +I think the girl may be as spy for another country. She sells the important information to another government. It may be leads to sever problem to the Pakistan Government. So, the Police Action is correct. The Police must be gathered from the girl. First thing is the girl did not the authorized person for enter this office. This is the first criminal activity. She theft the important information from the office. This is the severe criminal activity. So, the Girl must be punished severe. This is the big problem for the Government. +I just heard that the Editor of Elle magazine killed herself. It is always sad when someone take their own life. What makes this one worse than the usual is that there were chances that she could have been helped but she was turned away. They said that she was "over the worst of it" but other evidence suggests that she was not. To me it seems like people did not want to deal with her for some reason or they were on a small budget and could not afford to treat her so they turned her away. Very sad and very messed up that you turn away someone whop wants helpa dn they then kill themselves. The system needs to be fixed. +Here we go again, talking about political figures forging and waging war for the popular vote. They switch sides and change their point of view so much that it is easy to say they don't care about the common person, only their chair in office. I think that the parties have merged into one, one mass all out war to get into office. +Wow, did you hear what happened to Mallika Sherawat in France? She was gassed and beaten and robbed. That is unbelievable! So scary and it could happen to anyone everywhere. She is lucky to be alive. It is sad though that this story got mixed in with politics because it wasn't even about Clinton, or Obama or Trump. +It was sort of sadly ironic to see the part in there about "we don't think he'll win" considering what followed. All of it, sadly, still rings true, day after day. There's been no apology, only a doubling down on the kind of bile, arrogance, and ignorance that was on display since day one. I feel bad for every woman in the country who has to live with someone like that as their president. +New wildfires across Appalachia! Thought I'd share this with you after our discussion about California wild fires. This one is huge in the Appalachian mountains and seems to be spreading. It can also be seen from space! Hopefully everyone gets out safe and the firefighters are all able to contain it safely. Thinking of you! +This is a nice story - people have some level of need to protect nature and protecting birds is an excellent way of giving back, especiailly since some are endangered. I have to commend this person for trying really hard to protect one species, and for committing to it. I myself would have a difficult time choosing what to hel pwith - but this person doesnt! +I read an interesting article online about Russia again. Apparently one of Putins former aids had just died outside of a hotel in D.C., that is really crazy and scary. Apparently a lot of people are thinking that this could be foul play and it wouldn't be a surprise since the Russian government is known for doing this sort of thing all the time. He was apparently fixing to cut a deal with the federal government which would have angered the Russian government so I bet they killed him off so that they could avoid him giving away information to the federal government. +After reading this story I think the right decision was made. It seems to me that the man had no reason to shoot at those kids just because they were playing loud music. Sure music can be annoying but no one deserves to be shot over it. I don't think that any changes need to be made to the stand your ground laws. This was a simple case of someone making poor choices and now needs to pay the price for their actions. +This day and age, there is a tremendous amount of evidence showing that climate change is real. In this new reality, how will life react. Do species have the ability to adapt and thrive in new clients or will they disappear. What will happen to humans as well? More studies need to be done in order to figure out not if we can stop climate change, but how will it affect us all. +This story specifically doesn't make me feel anything, since I don't know these people and I feel like if I tried to have emotions for every victim of a crime I read about that would just require too much mental effort. In a broader sense however, I feel frustrated and tired of having to deal with men committing acts of violence against women constantly simply because they can, especially in cases like this where there didn't seem to be much prior warning. It's irritating because it is such an awful trend, so it makes me feel sort of disgusted with the state of the world in that way. +It deeply saddens me to think that a mother could leave her child on a porch and abandon it. I feel some anger towards the mother for abandoning her young, defenseless child. The child is very lucky to have been found by kind strangers who were able to deliver it to safety. I hope that the child will be adopted into a loving family and will be given a solid upbringing. +The article that I read was about these architects that are building things and they are kindof looking at the tactics for buildings and their tools that are used to build the buildings. They want to see what will be safer and allow the people to make better buildings. There was a recent mishap that caused several people to die and it was related to the building issues. +It’s a shame that Nevada is going through this. It is a beautiful state. I really feel for the reservations. They have no where to go. They rely on water as a way of life. They have animals that need water. I don’t really know what can be done. Maybe we should address climate change. It is definitely happening. +It is sad that children are still dying from measles. According to UNICEF, there is a simple vaccine that can be given, which would stop children from being affected. It affects most children in poor countries, which is very sad. The vaccine isn’t that expensive and you would think that the leaders of all countries would get together and do something about this problem. It is not just up to the USA to stand up and do something. These other countries (even though they are poor) need to get more educated and help protect their own children and citizens in their own country. It is sad that children and others have to die because we can’t coordinate with each other, to get the vaccines to those who need it most. I feel sorry for those families who have suffered the loss of a child due +I just read an article about an infant orangutan, that was so sad. There had been several orangutans rescued from an illegal dealer. They were taken to a rescue center. The infant orangutan all of a sudden collapsed in her cage. She has meningitis which can be deadly for her. She is getting amazing care at this center though, so I sure hope she pulls through. I have no extra money right now but you can donate to this organization! +It doesn't matter what country you live in. The powerful will always stomp on the weak. Expecting anything from your government or your party is pointless unless you have some amount of influence. Politics have not stopped war, poverty, disease, crime, or anything else. It simply is a way to subjugate mass amounts of people no differently than in olden times. They keep painting a pretty picture, and we all live in this illusion that life can be great here or there. But that is because there is not enough focus on the horrible things happening under our noses, even in our own neighborhoods. People are wretched, and those who rise to power will continue to be the most retched as they sell themselves out to any donor, or support that will keep them in power. +I am really shocked by our current healthcare system. I just read an article that informed me that something as simple of hand washing can prevent hundreds of deaths and disability for US infants. Why isn't this common knowledge. I am really disappointed. It may not be a majority of children who are at-risk or afflicted, but for the few children who are , this information would have been everything. +As I read this article, I felt a bit nervous and alarmed at India's tiger population, even though this is in India but still. Hopefully, the Tigers will be better protected in the future and people will stop trying to kill them or dial it down at least. I wish India's tigers the best in their protection and survival. +I find this article to be stupid. It talks about how Trump supporters are attacking actors from the show Silicon Valley. I'm not a Silicon Valley fan and I do not know who those actors are, but I believe that if there were ever to be a fight that escalates due to differing political opinion, I would just walk up and leave. +Regardless of what scientists believe the earth is warming. I think that people are constanstly always trying to come up with reasons as to what is happening with the earth, but these people are trying to pick this ladys research apart. Also, I am not sure how sexual harassment plays into the article, but that is a big deal in the US. People get harassed way to often in the workplace with nothing being done. +It's kind of amazing how little we knew what was going on back then. There have certainly been a lot of changes since that day. I think we can all take comfort in the fact that the world didn't end that day. Even with crazy people in charge the earth's people seem to be capable of keeping us all on the right track. I mainly worry about my own self now. +I just read that poaching of rhinos for ivory has gotten so bad in South Africa that they've begun expanding and now have anti-poacher armies. I say good for them. The animals can't fight back, but hopefully the army can deter poachers. I know the poachers do it because they can make a lot of money, but I just don't understand it. Big game hunters/trophy hunters and poachers are one in the same to me. I think they are both ridiculous reasons to harm or kill any animal. The anti-poaching armies have a scary, but, I think, extremely necessary job. +I felt that reading the excerpt from the article was sad and had me feeling distraught to an extent. I know it's just an article but hearing about all the bad in the world is just an assured way to get a poor start to the day. I was mostly wondering what the situation was where Richard Hong was killed in the Los Angeles home. Whos home was it and why was George Stroumbolopoulos there. I'd like to know the more intricate details of what went down in this crime. Was it a murder of passion or was it cold blooded. Was it in the moment or was it calculated. What will happen now, hopefully and investigation can uncover this. +Hey, man, don't know if you saw this report on the news, but this article is pretty messed up. Those poor people were just trying to have a good time and then all hell broke lose. I remember seeing the news reports and the images were pretty shocking, but the story in this article takes it to another level. You should read it. These poor people are going to get paid for sure. it is funny how the owner had to invoke "God" trying to protect his own ass. +Apparently ISIS is still prevalent in Pakistan.. There have been numerous attacks on the public and a police academy. As bad as this group is for some reason I don't find them to be that big of a threat to Americans. At least not the ones here at home. By the way wasn't donald trump suppose to get rid of ISIS completely? +I am rather turned off by the fact that California allows the water supply to be so construed for people. Very sad to see people in central California go through what Flint, Michigan went through with poor water conditions and I'd hate to be in the political sphere there. It would be good to see organizations working within the region to bring residents quality water. +Those poor little babies. This is just going to keep happening more and more. The rate of human caused extinctions is going up at a scary rate. I know pandas and polar bears are kind of the face of conservation, but they're not the only cute animals out there. And even the ones that aren't cuties matter! Extinction is such a huge, huge deal. +What this article taught me was that heartbreaks are not the end of the world. Yes, they are NOT. Just because that one precious person left us we start living with an emotion that our life has come to an end. Life isn't ending at all, each day is a new beginning, with new people waiting for us out there. As you move forward, life will remove many people from your life just because they aren't required and you can actually reach your destination. Your life has just begun, nobody stops moving, the sun still rises and the sun still sets. +Wow. I can imagine being in that man's shoes. It sounds as if his son could have been more disturbed than originally thought at the other arrest. I would be devastated if I felt so threatened by my own child that I had to resort to violence. I mean, how terrible it must be! Though details aren't completely clear, it sounds as if the son had some issues that weren't completely dealt with and it resulted in some sort of confrontation with his dad. How terrible to have to carry this with him the rest of forever. It would break my heart in two. I hope he gets deep counseling for his grief and guilt. Perhaps if the son had, it wouldn't have happened. More's the pity. +This bsi truly disturbing, I don't understand how someone could ever do that to an animal let alone a small kitten. There are truly some very disturbed peopel on this planet and the person who did this should be punished severely. This si not an act of violence it is an act of malice. The person who did this will go on to do other terrible things in the futurw +I feel bad for these sisters' family. Until we find out more from the autopsy report though, we probably shouldn't jump to conclusions. I don't know much about what could cause pulmonary edema, but maybe it was due to something they both ate, or an infection that they both came down with, or something unrelated to foul play. +The people who will lose homes because of this should be fully compensated and be fully relocated with full government assistance and be transfered to a different location that is still nearby their old homes that will be razed. It's just not fair if they will be leaving these people homeless and will probably have a hard time coping with the loss of their house if this plan gets approved. +I really didn't realize how quickly climate change could have an effect on certain areas of the world. I do believe that climate change is being caused by humans to a good extent, but I'm not sure if negative impacts will come as quickly as some people speculate. It's very interesting but I am concerned for the safety of some people if things continue this way. +I can't believe that these vultures would take advantage of individuals in predicaments where they were desperate and had to take out a high volume of loans in order to earn a better living, in their mind. I understand the concept, but the actual intent of the administrators of ITT Tech and other for-profit schools is devastating with regards to actually helping student's +I completely agree with what the quotes in the article. Things in this country are awful and unsafe for minorities. Things need to change. The entire country and justice system are set in racism. I wish people who claim they "don't care for politics" or support "blue lives" would actually stop to listen to what these people have to say. +We should all try to do more to decrease global warming for the sake the polar bear population and for our own human population as well. Please read this article about the polar bears and the problems they face and issues that they must endure related to global warming. The article is very descriptive and explains the issues very well. It is worth reading and sharing with others to bring exposure to the plight of the polar bears. +so theres this push to remove your money from banks involved in the pipeline screwing over the souix . Im thinking about it. kick the banks that are kicking the native americans seems like a good way to make a point. all the understand is the bottom line, and the pipeline company will lose their backers if they begin to lose too mkuch money +This is awful! I just read that a family lost two family pets and their home due to a horrible fire, still in investigation! This is one of those times when I let my mind wander and I think, what is going to happen to them? Where would they sleep at night? And the pain they must feel for not having the pets, and a place to call their own. +Reading stuff like this puts the refugee in perspective. There has to be something the international community can do that isn't taking in refugees permanently. The vast majority of these people just want to live and build something for themselves. It is of no fault of their own that they were unfortunate enough to be born within the fist of a crazed dictator. +Poor man, he had lot of success to get and more working plans in his life and couldn't achieve them because of his sudden death, at least his dead was natural, I guess, because that isn't specified in the article. My deepest condolences to his friends and family members, he will be missed in the comedians community. +The article about sleep disorders really hits home, because I know more than one person who would be diagnosed with a sleep disorder. All of these people just happen to be overnight workers, too. The fact that the lack of sleep and quality sleep can lead to a higher risk of stroke is very alarming. So many people need to seek help for sleep disorders, because where the disorder itself may not cause major health issues, it can lead to major health issues. +Reading the article, I was disgusted knowing that a father had not only killed himself but took away the lives of his two sons as well. The only reason why that man even killed himself was that the police saw him killing his two children. People in this world today shouldn't lose their lives due to a crazy/selfish elder. +This is very unnerving news. Drug addiction is a serious problem that both America and the rest of the world is facing. There are many victims from the children that are born to drug abusers to the drug abusers who can no longer take care of their children responsibly due to their addiction. Drug addiction is one of the major issues facing society and is one that must be addressed immediately and urgently. +So, about climate change, I just read an article about it. I have never really been concerned about climate change, I think it's a huge act that is exaggerated by the government, media, and everyone in between. The facts about fire increasing are a little scary though... but I still think climate change is irrelevant. Maybe fires just happen more +Did you hear about this shooting? It appears to be random and utterly senseless. An elderly man was killed and the suspect is now barricaded in his house. There was a lot of misinformation early on about it being related to the election and that the suspect was a woman. It's being reported now that both those claims are false. I really feel for that man and his family. +This does not surprise me. The people on RHONY are kind of trashy. So, it is not hard to believe they were married to a person who would do something like this. It does not really sound like a big deal either. He could have done much worse. Did she even lose money because of this? I would guess not. +This was a tough article to read because if you put yourself in that place, and you think of yourself losing a friend that is very close to you or a family friend. I know that whenever I think about not having someone that has been close to me I wonder how I would feel or react. I don't think that we let people know how we feel enough. +Gah. The whole Ke$ha mess. Oops, I man Kesha, without the $ sign. I dunno what to think about the eating disorder and whole rehab thing. Her professional life has been such a proverbial sh*tshow, it's really hard to me to believe that this is anything else than attention-seeking. She just seems to have that kind of personality. +I don't know much about the issues in Syria and other countries in the Middle East, but I'm not a fan of war or our place in these international conflicts. The United States has had military influence in the Middle East for way too long, and we were deceived by President Obama at the time he started office. He stated he would pull all troops out, but that never really happened. The troops may have decreased, but we have a strong presence there still. +Gay conversion therapy is terrible! I think anyone that is forced to go through would need therapy for the rest of their lives just to recover from the trauma of being told who you are is not acceptable! I cannot believe young children are being stripped of their identities, being told who to be, being shamed for who they are, and learning to hate themselves. They know who they are, and being told to put that part of themselves back in the closet is completely cruel and unjust. This is psychological torture. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to shame anyone into conversion therapy. I cannot stand Mike Pence and everything he stands for. He probably is a strong advocate because he is probably closeted! Why can't people just be ok with who they are? We should love everyone! +Police in Hope, Indiana, released a chilling photo of a mother passed out behind the steering wheel of her car from an apparent drug overdose with a syringe in her hand. Crying in the backseat: her 10-month-old son. Parents are doing this more often with children in the car because they are doing it away from someone who is going to disapprove,” marshal Matthew Tallent told IndyStar. “This is becoming a new norm for drug users +Thinking about air conditions in other countries I wonder if other countries who have the capability can help out. The article I read was about air quality and I wondered if it's hard to teach Indian citizens the affects of what they are doing. Maybe teaching them in school would help. It seems many people are suffering and changing for the better would benefit a lot of people. I guess us caring about those would also be beneficial to us because we all share the same planet. +Are you kidding me? This is on YOU LA County Department of Children and Family Services! How could you let this fall through the cracks! "Authorities found no cause for alarm — school officials told social workers he lived in a safe household." Yeah, that was said just before the boy DISAPPEARED. Then, NOTHING was done. He was alive and locked in a closet for three years! We need more oversight at LA County! This cannot happen to our children! The poor boy was drugged, even when they moved houses. I cannot believe there is a mother so cruel. You should not be allowed to have children! +While I obviously think that it is sad that an animal is dead since I love animals, what I mostly feel reading this story is aggravation. It really annoys and worries me that people insist climate change is a political issue when we can see its effects everywhere, including in the form of the current extinction crisis. I know that this particular one was due to a fungus, but it is part of a trend and might be related, so that is what this makes me think of. I always feel frustrated and worried about the future whenever I am reminded that extinctions like this and other problems are just going to keep happening because conservatives refuse to acknowledge that the problem even exists. It could be fixed, but probably won't be, and that irritates me. +I'm glad that the officers that responded to the scene did not get hurt. I am also happy that the loose Emu did not get hurt. This is a hard article to write about. I wish that all police calls ended with a happy ending like this story where everybody gets to go home. I wish the worlds problems where as simple as an escaped emu on the loose. I believe that most police officers are kind and good nature and want to do the right thing, like helping this emu, but they are human and with any humans you will have some bad ones. Once again just happy nobody got hurt. +OMFG. Seriously?! This cannot be real. I refuse to believe this is real. Someone made this crap up, right? Japanese culture historically famously disregards and degrades women (eg: Geisha girls), but FFS what year is this? <slowly bangs head on desk> Japanese women still cover their mouths when they laugh. Are Japanese men that threatened by empowering women? Cause I'm thinking apparently so. +Video Shows Cop Punching Woman In The Face, But She’s The One Arrested For ‘Assault’ — A uniformed Arizona police officer who was filmed punching a woman has been placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated. “Our agency is very concerned by what is depicted in this video,” police in Flagstaff, Arizona, said in a Wednesday evening press release. The footage, shot and posted to Facebook on Wednesday, shows a woman struggling with two officers who apparently believe there is an outstanding warrant for her arrest. She can be heard on video saying the issue has already been resolved. “You cannot arrest me until I know I have a warrant,” she tells the officers as she struggles with them. Suddenly, one of them strikes her in the face with a closed fist. Authorities have See. +I think the situation in allepo is really dire. I don't understand why the syrian government is trying to harm the people there whey they didn't do anything wrong. I think the whole situation is really sad and that a lot of innocent people are getting hurt for no reason. War is awful and I hope that there's a solution to it soon. I'm glad that the UN is trying to do something, but I just don't think that it's enough. +What an alarming statistic! I had no idea that such things even existed! While it's true that this seems to be much more of a problem in Russia than in the US, since it's on the internet it is still something that could potentially be accessed by our kids! Teenagers have enough to deal with without having to worry about being prodded into doing something horrible like committing suicide by these online idiots! I remember being a teenager and how hard it was, but I didn't have to deal with this! This is completely awful! +A car Taliban car bomb exploded in front of the German consulate in Afghanistan. It killed 100 people.These type of events are to come these days. I mean how does anyone process them any more. I'm personally numb to all this now. It might as well be fiction at this point. It seems like I hear about similar incidents like this everyday. I don't know. +Its sad that now and moving forward in my lifetime we will see many older actors and actresses succumb to death in its many forms. It makes me feel for those people and gain a sense of time in a view that is not endless. I can put myself in the shoes of someone older and battling health problems and it saddens me to do so. +I like some of these new approaches to reducing the harmful effects of bullying, but it's still not enough. Just having a shocking video that raises awareness doesn't help the problem from starting, just helps us react to it quicker. We need to keep building programs that are designed to support our children, but we need to do it before they start to bully (or be bullied). So many of our anti-bullying stories talk about standing up to them and bullying back...that is not the way! +I am a little confused as to how these hacks happen, but it sucks when they do. I am a Yahoo user and think they have had to take precautionary measures multiple times in recent years to stop issues. Data breaches are troubling and can affect us all so I am not happy about the article's details that make me somewhat nervous. +This is sort of scary. I think it could have something to do with water contamination. There are so many types of bacteria. There are also so many different types of pesticides used in farming. I do think it's strange that this happened in a small area, which again, would lead me to think contamination of the ground or water. I wonder about the reference to the cattle, thinking that might have something to do with it. Scary stuff! +We should cherish all the works that the police force offers to us each and every day. While we sleep at night, police officers patrol up and down our streets and neighborhoods making sure that we are safe and sound. We may fear police officers when we see them but fear not because they serve the country as our law and enforcement. +It sounds to me like this man got what he deserved. What did he expect would happen when he ran from the police and didn't follow orders? People who get shot in these situations are simply getting what they deserve and are saving the tax payers a lot of money on their trials and being housed in prisons for the rest of their lives. +Hey I was just reading an article about a teacher bashing president Trump. You know my position when it comes to Trump, you know I dislike the man and all; however, I do not believe a teacher can use his position to bash someone especially on school grounds. I believe he can state his opinion, but not disguise it as the truth. That could be very dangerous. +It is so hard to think that you are not safe anywhere in the world, you expect to be able to go out into the world and enjoy yourself without having to worry about someone hurting you are those around you. That is not a concern anyone should have to face, but it seems to be becoming more of an issue day by day. +Hey I feel like Trump winning was way worse than people thought. The amount of violent attacks on minorites and in general have increased considerably. There have been over 200 attacks since election day can you imagine that? I hate that trunp supporters somehow feel vindicated with their awful racism. +very bad act abut killing that happened Now that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friend or something you would post on social media. Please do not identify your intended friend(s) - just write your thoughts about the article as if you were communicating with them Now that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friend or something you would post on social media. Please do not identify your intended friend(s) - just write your thoughts about the article as if you were communicating with them .... +While the article seems to be slightly sympathetic to the inmates, I say no way. I don't particularly care what happens to most prisoners, let alone the violent ones that attack each other and guards. There is no reason why any guard should ever have to put themselves in danger. These aren't people, these are violent animals, and the guards should be protected. They aren't the ones being punished for what is likely a severe wrongdoing. Restraints, solitary, whatever it takes, I don't feel one tiny twinge of sadness. And lawsuits? Don't even get me started on that one! +The artical is he US closed its education gender gap in 2016. This means there is a large pool of educated female talent, even though fewer women are actually working, as can be seen in the table showing the United States' scores below. The annual report looks at progress towards equality between men and women in four key areas: educational attainment, health and survival, economic opportunity, and political empowerment. +The human rights groups are right. It is brutal. I'm glad we don't punish people like that in our country, but I also feel like this guy in question deserves it. The problem is that punishments like that end up being applied to people who don't deserve it too. In this particular case, I don't feel bad for the guy at all. He's a monster. +The Girl with the beautiful green eyes that was pictured years ago by a photographer is currently under arrest for falsifying documents to stay in pakistan. I feel bad for this woman who felt a need to lie about her status of citizenship to stay in a country just to continue living a better life. This is the second time she has been arrested which shows me that she is really trying to escape a war ravaged country and to continue on living a better life. They should let the girl go. Good for the original photographer who is trying to help her out of this situation. +it is really diheartening to read about these immigrants from this article who drowned. it makes me feel anxious and upset how the whole ordeal happened. it is a terrible occurrence that this had to happen at the mediterranean sea. thankfully there were some survivors. the fact that babies were lost makes it that much more emotional to read all of this +I just can't imagine how you would go from having a good day snorkeling with your loved one and be dead the next just how that would happen? Then not to mention your spouse dies right alongside you in the same mystical way, it just seems like there is more to it then that. It would seem like something had to of happened. +This was an interesting article. I am a supporter of capital punishment, yet I find lethal injection to be absolutely ridiculous. It costs an insane amount of money just to execute somebody with this method, when a few bullets for less than a couple dollars would do the job just as well if not better. +Whenever kids are involved in a nasty breakup there are never any winners. The person who gets the short end of the stick in this case will probably be the child who will be forced to split time and maybe even countries between the two parents. People should try and consider the child's feelings before using them as pawns in a custody fight. +I read an article that linked sleep disorders and strokes. It said that if a person has a sleep disorder, they are less likely to recover from a stroke. The article said that sleep disorder were a very serious problems, and many people are affected. I felt upset, because I have had insomnia so long, and it may be making it more likely for me to have serious health issues in the future. +So remember the Flint MI water problem from years back? The one where the idiots decided to use their own water supply from a dam which leaked led. Well apparently now the government is flipping out that its a nationwide problem. Or should I say the "scientists" are flipping out since we have never heard of lead in the water anywhere outside of the Flint MI disaster +I just read an article about Trump protesters that had fireworks shot at them. This story breaks my heart. Some of the protestors also were spit on and endured racial slurs. I do not understand how a group could commit such a mean act of violence. The group that shot the fireworks were never caught, which makes this story even worse. People should be able to express their views in safety. +So I feel birth is birth. What difference does it make it you gave it vaginal or c-section. So people can be so evil in this world. You were pregnant and carried that baby in your belly for 8 to 9 months. Some ladies are faced with a life or death even choice. We have to do what is right for our babies but mostly for ourselves. I know you think wow selfish much, No this i why. If you are not here you can not raise and happy healthy family. Next if you are not your best or at 100% you really can not give your all. +I have nothing against immigration, so long as it's done legally. I have nothing against illegal immigrants either and often feel there should be pathways to citizenship so long as the illegal immigrant commits no wrongdoings and contributes to the success of the economy of the place they are staying in. The problem with Calais in France is that quite often, terrorists disguised as immigrants make their way in through this area and then commit acts of terror which harm French citizens. French people want to help those that have been displaced in the Middle East, but Calais is a mess. +The article was quite eye opening for someone who may not be extremely into politics. The confederate flag seems to somehow have different meanings to different people, which I never really understood. To get upset because the flag was being hung in college campuses, makes sense to me. I would get upset as well. For students to be afraid for their welfare and or they education at their college because of President elect Trump, also makes sense to me. The whole campaign seems to be one big controversy. +I don't know who this celebrity is, but isn't this crazy? Of course it'd happen in Florida! We always hear these "Florida man" stories, and here's another one. What are people thinking, anyway? What was this guy hoping to do? Pretty weird world we live in nowadays. I'd never want to live down there with all the crazy stuff that goes on! +I don't really feel much of anything at all reading this, I think celebrity deaths are so common in the news that it is really difficult to conjure up any emotion about them. I guess I feel mild interest? I learned a few facts about the singer of a song I have heard fairly often over the years, so it is interesting to have new information, which always feels rewarding in a way. I guess I should feel sad but I just don't think it's possible for me to feel sadness every time I read about someone being dead. It makes me feel a bit tired I suppose. +This sounds like a murder-suicide situation. That's what it always is when you hear there is no danger to the public. How awful that people choose to do this to each other and how awful that some poor kid had to be a witness to it all. That child will never be the same again. I wonder why people who choose to do something like this can't just kill themselves and leave everyone around them alone. It's sick. +So many priests murdered in Mexico in the last 10 years. I don't know that I would have the courage to protest anything if my land was controlled by drug cartels, who surely do not care about anyone else other than themselves. It takes courage to be an activist, but I think I could do more good by staying alive and picking my fights wisely. +Felt bad reading the article because tons of people are losing basically their lives. The wild fires are destroying their farm, things, and even their animals. Without all of those things they cant have a proper living through buying and selling crops or animals. I hope we can donate to an organization nor something to help them +Hey, I wanted to share this article with you that I just found. It is about the issue with junk food ads and targeting kids. We were talking about this the other day. Well apparently it will not be ending any time soon. It is a billion dollar industry and there is very little anyone can do about it. There are organizations out there that is trying to prevent this and fight against childhood obesity. The WHO organization is blaming video bloggers/vloggers who get paychecks from junk food companies. They are claiming that they are more powerful than ads. I'm not sure I believe that but it could be possible, you think? +Wow, this is tragic. I really hope that China will improve their safety standards, but I know this is a big problem all over in developing countries. Remember when that factory burned down in Bangladesh? And we can't pretend this isn't our problem too, when we support them economically. If we buy products created in unsafe working conditions, we have a hand in those deaths too. +I feel like a similar scenario happens at least once a year in Hollywood. When I hear about stories that happen in Hollywood, the lifestyles are so different than mine that it's almost like it's not real, like it's a movie. People in Hollywood always have something to complain about so it's hard to feel sympathy for them, even when something like this happens. +Hey check this out, you are a big Leonard Cohen fan right? This is sad, but this is life. I often think about the deaths of old people, should we be sad? should we celebrate their life? What is the appropriate emotion to experience at this point. I know I was sad when my two grand fathers died, but that is personal. +I think that these types of tragic accidents are far and few. I might be wrong, though I don't hear of too many of them. I think that they may need to reevaluate some of their maintenance techniques to try and make this even more uncommon. It must of really devastated the family and friends of those who lost their lives. +This is really ridiculous. A lawyer with a history of being a nut job went crazy at the mall in Houston Texas and shot nine people, and one of them was injured critically. And all this just because of some issues he was having where he worked, like it is so hard for a lawyer to just move on to another firm instead of going crazy and shooting up innocent people. +Wow, I just read an article describing the problems Venezuela is having with its new leader. About 80% of the people are dissatisfied with his leadership and want him out. But there isn't a smooth process put into place for that. Even the Vatican is trying to assist, but to no avail so far. I can't help but think of all the problems the US has lately, but we do have a constitution and a system for change. I am not sure how Venezuela will fix things peacefully, and how its citizens will fare through all this. The article made comparisons with Cuba, and previous leadership, but I did not fine a clear solution. +So they are trying to expand a runway at Heathrow airport in London which will destroy over 700 peoples homes. This is just crazy to me and I hope that it never actually happens and that the people who live there can fight it. It just seems to me that this is just another case of government over reach. These politicians are probably going to benefit financially somehow from this deal . It is the only explanation that makes any sense to me. Why else would you destroy a whole community? +I just read the article on the oil spill. Even though I do agree with oil digging, when things go wrong, it does have severe consequences. I feel mostly bad for the birds and sea life, which will obviously be affected. You would think with all the money these oil companies profit from, they would take more safety precautions, in trying to avoid accidents from happening. I know the industry creates a lot of jobs and most often, nothing goes wrong. But when it does, it can be catastrophic for the wildlife in the area and those that live in the area. Or even those areas that rely on tourism, if people can’t go into the oceans or there is oil spilling onto their beaches. Not sure what the answer is, or if there even is an answer to it. It just makes me sad to see those beautiful birds +It sounds like she wasn't cut out to be a cop. The way I see it, it was obvious that the guy was decompensating in some way, but he didn't display anything that indicated he was violent - that had to all be in her head. Yes, when the cops order you to do something, it's probably better to comply, especially if they have draw weapons including tasers. No one disputes that his hands were up, and the other officer assessed the situation to require a taser, not a gun, and apparently, this scenario goes against training, so the problem was in the officer, not the victim. People wonder why the police aren't trusted, and this is it. They're human too, and they make mistakes, but their mistakes kill people unjustly. I feel bad for the family of the victim and I hope they see justice done. +President Donald Trumps actions during his election and so far during the presidency has been nothing short of childish. I don't think he has any idea of what a filter is, and I don't think he cares what anyone thinks about him. Him winning the president election was probable one of the worst things that could have happened to our country at this time and moment, but things could be worse. Like the previous article, we could be comparing President Trump to Hitler, which in my opinion is absolutely terrible. +There was a terrible bus crash near the town where I grew up. It looks like a black sedan hit the bus and people were hurt. Apparently the injured people were taken to a nearby hospital where I used to work. No word was released on the condition of the individuals but I sure hope it was no one we know or that no one is seriously hurt. Please say a prayer for all involved and be grateful that no lives were lost. +What do you think about Guantanamo Bay? Should they shut it down or continue to use it for interrogating supposed terrorist. I do have sympathy for some of the prisoners who may not particularly be terrorist. From an article I read some of these prisoners or most of them are mentally ill. One thing I learned from this article I read is that some of the psychologists may be assisting with torturing the prisoners. Some believe that some of these physicians and psychiatrist should bear the brunt of the blame for torture at Guantanamo Bay. +I'm so sad to hear about this, it just drives me crazy. I wish that we would just do something once and for all to help save these people from such suffering. I guess in the mean time all that I can do personally is just pray for the people though and hope that soon things will get better, somehow. Doesn't this just make you so mad? +Having traveled through Afghanistan in the mid-1970s and having had a son deployed in Afghanistan during the US incursion, I can tell you that the country is profoundly backward and disorganized even at the best of times. This influx of refugees will cause chaos on a massive scale. The USA should help. If we are willing to invade and contribute to the destabilization of the country in our own interests, we should also be willing to come in as a magnanimous gesture and help out these poor people in the time of their need. +What this also taught me is that I think poverty teaches you to value anything and everything you have .. importance of friends , importance of one time meal, importance of tiniest thing in your life .. It teaches you to survive on bare minimum. Poverty teaches gratitude. Some of the most happy people in the world are those people who have the least. When you aren't flooded with tons of material goods you can focus more on the simple things that you do have. Look at Brazil the have to struggle to eat but it's what keeps them humble. +I feel so sad for the world. The world needs a revolution and good people in charge of the countries. Bad people need to disappear from this world, we need specials force to deal with injustice from this world. A lot of people is in pain because of different beliefs, race, culture and bad presidents. People around the world should have the same opportunities to be happy and have a fair life. I would like to help every injustice in the world. Big countries in the would should help all the people that are suffering because of injustice. I can see a lot of pain around the world and I just can say that a lot of people with resources are extremely selfish. We need powerful people dealing with this kind of situations. On the other hand, people should make disappear ISIS from the map ASAP. +As a woman myself, I really sympathize with these women. While I find it very difficult to imagine what they go through as a woman, I can get some vague idea. I would hate to think that I had to have a male escort when I left my home. They aren't treated as equals, and often men don't even consider them equal as their family pet! <Many of the women can be abused, physically and sexually, and they are considered to be the problem, not the abuser! I hope they are able to win by the petition, and will be able to have a bit more freedom! +Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous and strong illnes. It is scary to think that someone might be carrying that kind of desease just because of them having a hard time letting go of smoking. Also, thinking that even the non-smoking people can get sick and worst they can even have cancer too. Just thinking how things worked regarding cancer is traumatising me. +Lydia Jones, a spokeswoman for BAFTA Cymru, said Friday that the organization had been told there would be no further details on Mr. Jones’s condition. Primary progressive aphasia is a rare nervous system syndrome that affects a person’s ability to express his or her thoughts and understanding, or to find words, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms begin gradually, often before age 65, and worsen over time. The news of the diagnosis was also reported by the BBC and Britain’sNational Press Association. The announcement of Mr. Jones’s illness dominated Monty Python fan siteson Friday, where it was described as “sad” and “terrible” news. Eric Idle, a co-founder of the ribald, outrageous and internationally acclaimed British troupe, tweeted thanks to fans for their support while noting Mr. +I really feel bad for Turkey. I think they are trying to do everything they can to get rid of terrorism in the country. It seems that their efforts are for naught. They want to keep the people safe and yet more terrorist groups keep popping up. Then the lawmakers are involved and there is only so much you can do. Turkey is constantly at war. I'm wondering if this will end up with the US trying to do something over there or bringing that trouble here. It is upsetting really to hear about all this going on in the world when people just want peace. There is always terrorism and someone trying to bring down a country, but the country tries its hardest to fight back despite opposition. +The person in the article was participating in a fund raising event and the event was about getting pies thrown into the faces by people. I guess that things got a little bit rough because the guy that was getting the pie in the face got injured somehow. It was pretty bad and he had to seek out the medical help for the injuries to his face. +I just read an article about a mother and father that sexually abused their daughter from the age of 11. It is just disgusting. I can't imagine how in the world someone would be okay doing this to their child. Those parents deserve a fate worse than death. What is WRONG with people? They deserved to be tortured until the day they die. So disgusting. +These poor people! It seems like they really can't catch a break. Like it isn't bad enough that they are already trying to dig themselves out of their tough economic situation and losing their homes, but now they also have to worry about a population decrease. It's pretty clear that we need more aid and more help for these people in the area. +I am very concerned about our staple crops that we use to survive off of. The climate change is likely going to kill off our crops. We are already seeing signs, and it doesn't look good. The University in Arizona is already seeing this, and no one is listening. Only a few news channels are spreading the news. This is going to affect those non technological countries first, which is a shame since none of this is their fault. +I heard almost 80 people died from an explosion. It was caused by lightening or something. Crazy huh? I hope nothing like that every happens here during a fuel crisis. Over 100 were injured. So sad. I wonder what all those people who survived are going to do. Maybe the red cross will set up something. How can I find out? +HOpefully this fighting ends soon its getting to be too much the negative impact is getting bigger and bigger. If things dont stop before long then the fighting wont be in that area itll spread even wider as all the larger countries get involved and the fighting just wont stop. maybe we should start a petition or something to get some attention on this issue +We definitely need to make sure we step up our efforts to vet who we let in this country, especially as far as refugees go. Just like you wouldn't leave your door open and invite intruders, we should not let refugees into our country without vetting them. We don't know if they're part of ISIS or not. It may seem like racial profiling, but only Middle Easterners belong to ISIS, so it is appropriate in this case. +I feel bad for that baby. The way it sounds, especially with the bottle of milk being in there, it sounds like someone had the baby and couldn't keep it so they left it there. I wish people would use the fire station safe haven option. I thought it was interesting that they mentioned that a 14 year old heard the cries. I wonder if the 14 year old was the one who had the baby and had to hide it. +The driven into exile last year, and he is now based in the southern port city of Aden. Saudi Arabia’s Sunni Muslim monarchy entered the war in large part because of concerns of Iranian influence in the region. That Shiite theocracy is widely perceived to be backing the Shiite rebels. The airstrikes in come on the same day i rejected a new U.N. peace proposal that would have sidelined him and given the prominent roles in a new government. More than 10,000 people have died in the conflict, many of them civilians who were killed by Saudi-led coalition bombings, according to the United Nations. that you have read the first article, please write a message to a friend or friends about your feelings and thoughts regarding the article you just read. This could be a private message to a friendS. +I am torn when it comes to this one. I feel bad because that is a horrible way to die and his sister definitely did not need to see that. But I also do not understand why they would be so careless and wander off on a trail where it is clearly marked that they shouldnt be leaving. If they would have paid more attention and didnt carelessly not listen to rules than this situation could have been avoided. +Wow… Yet another angle from which to look at climate change. And of course, it’s threatening and not pretty. But it’s also really interesting to see how all the stakeholders in a big industry like coffee are aware of climate change and its dangers, have been for a while, and are actively working at trying to minimize its impact on their business. And yet, others have their heads firmly buried in the sand and pretend nothing’s happening. +I totally get this in a lot of ways. I used to roll my eyes at people who were frothing at the mouth over Obama being elected, and how they seemed to make grand statements of the world ending RIGHT NOW because a black man was in the white house. Now...I don't know. I see my friends and family freaking out and I want to tell them to just chill out. Obama didn't destroy America--the right wingers were wrong about that. Neither will Trump. Life will keep going. It brings a lot of stress listening to people freaking out all the time. And yet, I get it. I get why they are worried and freaking out. I don't like it either, but I don't get the point of stressing out so much. But then again, I've completely dissociated from all this. I don't really read the news anymore. +Hello Alexander, oh how I need to tell you this story I read, its crazy you know. Anyway so I read this story about Myanmarl; they are having a huge investigation about child slavery, its very sad we live in a world that is filled with monsters like this. The goods news about this is that the police arrested two family members. I feel good about that coming out. I hope they find more and put them into justice. +There has been a lot of fires that are happening in the south. Many people are being told that they have to wear special masks if they want to go outside because of the smoke from the fires. People are also investigating to see what really caused the fire many people are suspecting that it's arson that is causing a lot of these fires to happen. A lot of organizations are asking people to donate water and drinks for the firefighters to quench their thirst while fighting fires. It truly is a sad thing and hopefully this problem will be resolved sooner than later. +I'm at a loss for words when I think of all the senseless lives lost from gun violence. As a gun supporter maybe I should take a step back and ask myself the hard questions about guns and there impact and availability in today's society. I know that statistically more people die from other causes compared to gun violence, but are guns way to accessible in America compared to other countries? When the 2nd amendment was written could they imagine the way guns could have progressed or how they are being used today? Seeing so many mass shootings makes me feel that maybe it's time to change some of the gun laws and help make things like 40 children killed or injured a thing of the past. +That is really sad to hear. It's awful that cars can be so unsafe and sometimes people forget how easy it is to get into an accident if everyone isn't careful and observant. It said this happened at 6:30pm so I wonder if maybe the sun was shining right in someone's eyes because that has happened to me at sunset and I could barely see. It's difficult to pull over and stop in those conditions as well. +A gut feeling, or gut reaction, is a visceral emotional reaction to something. It may be negative, such as a feeling of uneasiness, or positive, such as a feeling of trust. Gut feelings are generally regarded as not modulated by conscious thought, but sometimes as a feature of intuition rather than rationality. +The eyes are a part of our body we definitely take for granted. At the same time, they are extremely important and truly open our vision to the world. It would be devastating for a young person to suffer an eye injury simply playing a sport. People should be extremely vigilant to prepare children to play such sports and avoid suffering any life altering injuries. +Is it too much to ask for a judge that follows the Constitution? Check this article out and see if you agree. Focusing on fringe issues is not going to unite us. I wish we could move past this and leave people's personal beliefs out of it and focus only on the law. that would be nice for a change, woudln't it? +I just read an article about the attacks in a syrian town. It sounds horrible what they are going through. It talks about women and children dying. I tried to immagine what it would be like to live in such horror. It mentions many post on social media of pictures and videos. I would be interested in seeing some of the pictures and videos of this violence. Reading stuff like this really makes you appreciate being in America. +I feel horrible that this is happening. It probably a lot to do with what America has done in that country. They are the ones who armed the rebels and caused this problem. America created the terrorists groups. I know I am not responsible but it makes me sick to know that intelligence agencies from our own countries instigated this problem. I feel sympathy for all those who have been killed and the families who's lives have been ruined. +It's a weird ironic twist that once illegal animals are seized they may fare worse than if the smugglers were allowed to get away with them. It brings out the selfishness of humans and their inability to share this wonderful world with its other inhabitants. These animals should be properly cared for, and perhaps some of the financing could come from fines imposed upon the people who illegally absconded with them in the first place. +I am not sure what to think of this article as I have probably a different opinion than most would. First of all why wouldn't she report this at the time it happened, instead of waiting years and years later to come forward? I get the whole he's a powerful person and nobody would believe her part, but who's really going to believe her years later and why would she come out with it now and not before? What change? Why is she willing to exploit this man years later but wasn't able to do it years before? +I was reading about a few people that were killed as a result of Typhoon Meranti. I think it's fortunate that not too many people were killed during this storm. It seems like people have generally gotten better about heeding warnings about these powerful storms. However, it seems like infrastructure damage is something that needs to be analyzed. +Oh, please. It is getting hot - climate change. It is getting cold - climate change. There is a fire - climate change. Forget that fact that the climate has changed since the begging of time, and that people throw cigarettes out the window all the time too. These chicken little articles are also amusing and upsetting at the same time. +In Iraq, Islamic State militants are kidnapping thousands of people at gunpoint to use as shields against the U.S. takeover as the militants move to their last stronghold of Mosul. This is something that complicates the U.S. airstrikes because it is not certain how many civilians might be injured or killed since they are being used as shields by the militants. As the militants are squeezed tighter and tighter together in their last stronghold, more and more villages are suffering, entire villages of people are being taken and used as these shields. It is a terrible situation and I cannot imagine the suffering as people are missing and lost forever from families and leaving many children as orphans. +It saddens me to think about a young rino passing away. I can not help but question the circumstances surrounding its death. My heart goes out to the person who worked hard to try to save its life and is grieving over the loss of that hard battle. As a wildlife rehabilitator I know the struggle all too well. I understand how it feels to forgo sleep and food because you are working to save an animal. It is painful. But if you can save even one, it will make it all worth it in the end. +A hurricane is about to hit Taiwan soon. It's supposed to be really big, the biggest since 1969. We just had some really awful hurricanes in the West too. The ones here were caused by global warming, so I wonder if China's are too? It's horrible that so many people will lose their homes or their lives just so rich executives can make a few bucks more. +Hey my BFF Joan, how have you been I read this interesting article and man I feel weird living in a country like I do now. All these issues and money being wasted for what? I really feel like we as people and a nation can do much better then this. I hope we can evolve to become better people in this world. +The real problem with people born with critical illness is that we try so hard to give them a normal life. However these people are not normal. And to force them into feeling normal while a nice sentiment, is hardly productive. Instead we should focus on how these people can live differently than trying to merge them into general society. Society it's self is a disgusting community of work till you die. No matter what it is you chose to do. Take Autism for example, we try so hard to normalize them. However with my experience these people are brilliant in their own ways that we can't understand. They see things in an alien like manor of ultra basic instinct. This instinct should have it's own way of flourishing instead of bowing down to the rest of us. +The story that was told in the article that I read was I thought was pretty sad considering it highlighted a better time in life where things were not so violent in the world. There are so many acts of terror these days that it is hard to keep track of and the incident described feels the same way. Unfortunately there are so many bad people in this world that feel like they should be able to do all these bad things to other people because of some message they are trying to spread but really just causing a lot of pain for everyone. +I just read an article about someone jumping a fence and into someone's yard before stabbing several of the homeowners security guards. Just reminds me of how decrepit society has become. It's as if we've lost all touch with morality and compassion towards one another and such crimes are a grim reminder of the reality. +I think lung cancer is not really caused too highly by air pollution. I feel that the number one pollutants that cause lung cancer is purely smoking. Im glad I quit smoking years ago. They say these scientific reports and studies provide that the air pollution caused early stage lung cancers, however I really just don't believe it. +More trouble at the North Dakota pipeline protests! They have brought in riot police who are trying to break up the protestors. It looks like they are using rubber bullets and arresting a lot of people. It is scary that we can not peacefully protest in this country without fear of injury or arrest. I hope everyone is okay. +These home grown terrorists are becoming more and more of a problem. How do we monitor better people who are already in this country? Stopping immigration is not going to solve this problem. It is the people right here in our own country who are killing each other. That problem has to be solved!!! How do we keep tabs on people and catch them before they kill their fellow citizens? +showing just how amazing females have been doing especially in sports.It makes you wonder just how hard they have been working and becoming role models for young girls.That they would do whatever it took to become something and people like rounda rousey and how much she achieved just shows what it means to be a champion. +Did you hear about the horrible earthquake in New Zealand? IT was devastating and I am so heartbroken and sad for all of those people.It's going to be difficult to get aid to some places because the roads are severely damaged. Those people must be so terrified and worried. I'm sure they're hungry and in serious need of water and food and many are in need of shelter. I pray that God gives them all peace and comfort during this time. +ISIS is a group of deeply mentally ill serial killers. I simply don't see them the way I see Al-Aqaeda. Now, Al-Aqaeda is also a group of mentally ill people and they're also disgusting but they're damn serious in their mission. ISIS feels like a group of guys who kill just for fun. I agree with Obama on ISIS being a jv team. I can't help but feel terrible for those who have to witness the bodies all over Mosul. What a horrible sight that must be. Can people heal once they see that? Do those people have any hope or any way to continue after they witness such atrocities? What about the children? I feel so bad for them. It's so crazy. I wish they would wipe out the Middle East and just start over. Enough with the political correct bullshit. Enough with the religious bullshit. +I read an article about a man who was caught smashing Donald Trump's star in Hollywood. He had a sledgehammer and was smashing it. I thought it sounded pretty funny. The article described some of the ways people are protesting, from covering the star with graffiti, to putting a Bernie Sanders sticker on it, to putting a barbed wire fence around it. I don't like that he even has a star, and I think if I were to go to Hollywood, I'd like to do something like this as well. +this article was very interesting because it talks on how climate change can have influenced the extinction of the melomys in theyre habitat. it talks alot about it and basically lets us know that climate change wasnt the cause of extinction and that us, humans could have prevented this from happenning but just decided not to. +People in America are going to have it worse despite all the federal “inequality spending” done during the Obama administration. The article says that Trump and the congress are going to undo what Obama started. The article says that they are also trying to undo Obama care and that’s part of it. I know Obamacare made me poorer by about $600 a month and I’m not rich! It goes on about SS and how evil tax cuts are. I don’t know what to think about this since the news these days are often fiction. It seems to contradict itself by saying unemployment rates have dropped. With more people working isn’t there more tax revenue? Confused but I feel for the poor... +Remember that story that I told you about my neighbor Paul from my old neighborhood and how he had served in IRAQ and had come home and had PTSD? I found this article that explains it pretty good and think you might be interested in reading it to deal with the new coworker that you have that has similar issues. +It's so insane that people today, specifically white people, find the need to continue to discriminate against a group of people that they have already tormented for hundreds of years. There is something I call "little man syndrome" mostly referring to when short men feel the need to overcompensate for their height by being very aggressive and loud. The white people that commit these kinds of crimes suffer from a severe case of little man syndrome. +Check out this article. I wonder someday when all of these theoretic articles will change how things are done? Should we be doing massive changes in the way our government works, the way people are allowed to function? the products we are able to buy and the activities we are allowed to partake in? Will private jets disappear? +Did you see this sad story? This holocaust survivor has died. She lived a fruitful life recreating a town and now she is dead. Do you ever think of how sad life can be. This person survived the awful genocidal regime of Hitler. Why do human beings seek to contribute so much pain to one another. It is a sad and horrible way of being. +This is definitely an upsetting thing that has happened. We like to think that when we go to a theme park, all the rides are completely safe and maintained well. But there is always a risk, however small, that something tragic could happen. Even in a safe environment like a well-maintained park, we need to keep up our guard and use good judgment. +I can't believe that this place was ever given a license to carry out their business in the first place. These poor dogs died a slow painful death because the owners of this kennel were so careless. Did they not see the dogs suffering? How would they like to be locked up in a room in those temps? Make sure you are taking your pets to a reputable kennel if you do need to board them - I would have to see something like this happen to anyone else!! +Michael Buble's three year old son has cancer. This is so horrible and sad. I can't imagine what they are feeling right now. My uncle died of prostate cancer and I know nothing will ever be the same. Cancer on such a young boy seems so cruel if there is a God out there. I am really hoping their son pulls through and they keep on fighting together as a family. +I find that it is of a truth, and am writing to you regarding this situation that is erupting in Yemen, that after the peace talks collapsed security and safety for citizens in these areas has greatly decreased. I find that how America feels about it, and others around the world, is more correct, than in error. Whereby they are appalled by all the violence and blood shed. I feel personally that each party should consider the welfare of the people at large, than any self-aggrandizements, and personal power plays. It they can become more self-less, and less selfish, they will make decisions that are in the best interest and safety of the people of Yemen, aside and apart of whatever their political idealogies may be, when they are saving lives, and not just garnering votes, or political power +I have think is very good article and nice.he has promised the to be the most vigilant interrogator of the Obama administration from his perch on an oversight committee, which republican cheered. this sentence i am very like. Numerous ballot initiatives focused on progressive caused could also give republican few reasons to turn out. The reason must important for the areas. +Did you finally see what happened to that sicko that stole all of those nude photos from those celebrities? Those poor people got tricked into getting their photos stolen and this man went and was showing them to everyone. He finally was convicted of this and it serves him right. What an idiot. Just remember you don't ever take any photos like this and never upload them even if you did. Keep this stuff private and off of the internet. I sure am glad this guy finally got what was coming to him. +Well that sucks for this people in the south. It seems like there's always something that's messing with the gas prices. Hopefully they'll get it repaired soon though and things will go back to normal. At least there wasn't severe environmental damage, that's a good thing. If I were down there, I would probably just ride a bike for a few weeks. +Reading an article that is basically on the fear and risk of the Zika Virus and how it is currently an issue. It doesn't affect my fellings at all. It is clearly and issue but they'll make a vaccine for those who don't become immune by way of their own system, then the virus will become resistant to the vaccinations and it will be a never ending up and down cycle that we see all the time. I simply just can't let something like this, despite the risk, affect my feelings and emotions. +It's weird how I don't really feel sorry for these people. Timeshares just seem like a terrible idea and I've always associated it with conspicuous consumption. Really...just rent a hotel room when you can go. Buying into a house with other people sounds like a total hassle and a problem waiting to happen. But I can't stand how grimy the companies are and how they jerk people around. It just shows that the whole timeshare concept is about digging into people's pockets. And the only way to get them to stop doing that is to put them out of business if they don't want to play fair. +What I learned from this story is that this world is really fucked up. Imagine forceful sex at an age when your organs are not developed and when you have complete faith in everyone around you results in both physical and mental trauma. You think that any person who is around you and is trying to act sweet with you will end up being a molester. That is why a victim behaves like that. It's vile man. +I feel like entraprenerurship is the future. Apparently they are making it so you can quit your job and get unemployment benefits. It's pretty awesome. I guess they want to encourage people to start unique businesses on their own in an effort to diversify the workfroce in the country. Pretty cool if you ask me. +This doesn't sound too worrisome to me. If you are affected by depression, then you should decide as an individual to find another option. It's just a side effect, I think there are many medicines out there that have depression as a side effect. It is something that individuals should be aware of, but nothing critical. +Although I do think that companies have the right to advertise their product willingly, I also think that targeting kids is wrong. I think that good health should come first and the advertisement should condone this. Advertisements should not target kids, given that they don't really know what is good for them yet. +These poor people in Syria. On the lookout all the time, every time you hear a bang or a noise they must shake. This is so bad these poor people were just going to school. The place you should feel safe. Your trying to make yourself better to learn something. If Russia targeted this school then I hope they get what they deserve. They should think about their families when carrying out an attack such as this. +JUst when you think things couldn't get much worse! I just can't imagine who in the world would kill, then mutilate a baby horse! It pretty much sounds like someone with a mental health issue is running around crazy with a gun. It is nice to know so many nonprofits are not only engaged in finding this criminal, but also to prevent this from happening again, I think the adult horses were in better shape and that's why they survived. What kind of lazy loon would mutilate the little horse's genitals? +Just found this article; not surprised by this at all. I can't believe there are truly female trump voters but I'm not surprised; racism is something they all bind together with. She really should just leave the party if she actually has any sense. Feel free to share this with someone else as well if you want. +I am not over there, so I don't fully know what's going on. I do know that we should be helping these poor people out of the water and not letting them die from exhaustion or whatever else is causing their death, especially not 2 month old babies. this is just appalling that countries cannot come to aid these people. Yes, they know the risk involved, but because of other countries bombing their land out they are trying to find a better and safer situation for themselves and for their families. I don't blame them trying to better themselves from the war-torn countries that they come from. I have sympathy for all of these people. +How horrible what happened on that cruise ship. I can't believe the crew members were allowed to blatantly be homophobic to the patrons like that. They should be sued! I'm glad this came to light. I hope people do not patronize that business again knowing their true colors. It should not have taken a death for them to come around. +A nineteen-year-old college student from Texas A&M ran into a police car while she was taking a topless photo of herself which she was sending to her boyfriend. The police said she also had an open bottle of wine her the cup holder of her car. She told the police she was taking a photo to send to her boyfriend while she was stopped at a stop light. She was arrested on the suspicion of driving while intoxicated and then released on a $2,000 bond. The accident happened about 100 miles north of Houston, Texas. +What's going on in Venezuela is just tragic. The government has no concern for it's citizen's. These are just kids trying to get an education. They can't get a proper meal. Waiting in line doing anything to help their children. How can we let this go on. No one can be expected to learn or do anything productive if they can't even get the basic necessities +Hey can you believe the crazy weather we've been having during the past few summers? It's getting really ridiculous and out of hand. They temperatures have been crazy and the flooding is really messing with people's lives. We really should be paying more attention to it and need to come up with some solutions fast. +This always makes me mad guys, that the cops think they can shoot because of color. Its absolutely ridiculous! Of course, the cop isn't being charged for murder, and predijuce still stands in this country. It is extremely sad that the world has to come to this.. just killing off anybody because they think they're above the law. +Hey B, remember that conversation we had the other day, well I found an article that talks about it. It basically says that humans have destroyed 10 percent of Earth's wilderness in the last 25 years. The article said that the total land area is about half the size of the Amazon and twice the size of the whole state of Alaska. That is about 1.3 million square miles of wilderness, that just disappeared. The article also revealed that humanity has one to two decades more to turn it around before it is too late. I hope something is done soon and I'll send you a link to the article. +it seems a horny male college student has finally taken up the courage not to pursue love, but to rape his potential lover, what a disgusting act and moral corruption, the amount of emotional trauma done to the female victim is permanent and she would never feel safe again, I hope he gets to sentence to jail long enough he thought through +I really hate ISIS. They continue to be the stain on society by committing atrocities condemned by every nation in the world. They must be stopped at all costs and they must be destroyed so that they wont hurt another soul. These poor people who are trying to survive get killed, imprisoned, or brainwashed into joining and there seems to be no way to stop them. +This is such a sad story. I blame the owner of the dog. She should not have had her dog off leash. A big dog like that can really scare someone. Not everyone is a dog lover like we are. Poor Macie had to feel the pain because her owner wasn't doing the right thing. Perhaps the fine for having dogs off leash will result in people not taking their dogs off leash when they walk. Take them to a dog park and let them run. +This story about the shooting at the airport is absolutely breaking my heart. There is no reason for these violent gun actions to continue to go on. Can you imagine if this had been our dad or other friend or family member? I can not imagine what the victims family is going through right now. The poor people in the airport must have been in a frenzy. It had to have been scary to not know what was going on. Especially before everyone knew the gunman was dead. This one cowards acts caused so much turmoil and upheaval for so many people. Can you imagine all of the money that was wasted because of his stupid choices. Between flights being cancelled, rearranged, police officers time. I wish we could understand what he was thinking and why he did this mess. +Reading about the issue of racism in this country brings to many various thoughts. The first of these being, truly, we cannot legislate thought itself. Either we champion free speech for those we find abhorrent, or we stop pretending to care about liberty. People will always suck. At a certain point, it seems we as a society have gotten a lot softer, even as life has become more comfortable. Racists are morons. Do I walk around stressed all day about racists? Hell no. +I never knew there was a link between depression and birth control pills. I thought it would do the opposite because it allows women to have a full sex like without worrying about pregnancy, so they and their partners can feel more relaxed and open to exploring their sexuality. But now that i read the article I can see the link between hormone fluctuations and mood disorders since the two effect each other. +Dear friend, I have just read a horrific story coming out of Hong Kong. This man, a wealthy Hong Kong banker, murdered two young women in his apartment in a gruesome and sadistic fashion. He tortured them repeatedly inside of his luxurious downtown apartment near Hong Kong's red light district. He planned to torture them with tools and sex toys but had to cut it short when one of the women started screaming loudly in his apartment. He slit her throat and stuffed her body into a suitcase. +It's really amazing to me how much food we waste as a country considering how overweight and obese people are. I can't believe how wasteful it all is, if you think about it. A lot of the food we eat, we don't need, and then we throw away so much too! All that food belongs with people who really need it. I wish people would donate more and that restaurants could donate their unused food to homeless shelters. +It's sad these days how often police are being attacked for just being police. Mental health is such a problem, we need to find better ways to help people so they don't get to the point of harming others. Whenever I hear about an officer being hurt I think of your husband. We are very lucky men like him are choosing to spend their lives to protect us. I hope we can get help to more people so I can stop worrying if there is someone out there waiting for him. +Check out this news article. It's absolutely infuriating that this sort of thing would happen YET again, not only from a big oil and gas company, but specifically from BP again. Their ineffable ineptitude constantly leads to environmental disasters and someone has to put a stop to their BS before we let them completely destroy our habitat here on Earth. +This is troubling as it is unusual to have two people die of this cause at the same time. This seems suspicious as well. I hope the authorities can find some answers so this tragedy is not repeated. I hope the family can eventually find some peace and get the information they need for closure on their loss. +The article i read about the Venezuela zoo where the animals starving due to food shortage. the country economical condition go down and rise the prices of food. The country can't manage to import food due to bad economical siyuation. Animals on the Caricuao Zoo staffers have been feeding carnivorous lions and tigers diets of mango and pumpkin. Elephant eats tropical food instead of hey. +there are many red quireels in great britain and are causing leprosy arounf the city a girlo who was near the age found in squirrel these have been in scotland and great britian and even in some cases also in but not ecluding them at all - russia. this is a plagment and a serious incident as you can read many peolpe should be concered about this and might turn a bline eye to it but something should be done about this and people should try to find a cure of some sort for this +You know I'm not a fan of religion in any context, but this type of thing happens everywhere. There's always some idiot who goes off and uses religion, bigotry, sex, gender, anything really as an explanation. It's sad that you read something like this and it doesn't even feel like news. Perhaps its just our access that's making this seem ordinary. +Hey look at what I have been reading into. I want your opinions on this matter at hand. So civilian casualties are starting to rise as Iraqi forces push into Mosul. The vehicles screeched into the small field hospital on the outskirts of Mosul carrying desperate loads: soldiers injured in battle as well as men, women and children caught in the crossfire of Iraq’s war against the Islamic State. Now you know me. I would be in terrible trouble this is not a way of life. Why are were even in war. Why harm our children. This has saddened me to no end. We do not need, want or find any peace in war! +Food, water fears remain year after Brazil mine dam disaster — COLATINA, Brazil — One year after a dam ruptured and sent a giant wave of metal-laden mud gushing into one of Brazil’s most important rivers, people who live along the banks won’t drink the water and fishermen are afraid to eat their catch. Upward of 10 billion gallons of mud filled with mining waste buried towns in the Nov. 5 dam break that has been described as the worst environmental disaster in Latin America’s largest country. Nineteen people perished. Across 5,000 acres — about six times the size of New York City’s Central Park — the onslaught of mud crushed thousands of trees and wildlife. In the river, more than 14 tons of fish died, mostly after mud got stuck in their gills. An equally large amount of aquatic plants die +Wow that dude has a lot of money! More power to him, that's awesome. That guy has worked hard his whole life and built an amazing career and he's unstoppable in the wrong. So yeah what do you guys think? Do you agree that he deserves what he's got? Do you think he really refused to pay for the necklace? or do you think it's just fake news someone made up? +There are many types of virus spreading through our population today. More recently the Zika virus has found new ways of spreading from person to person. It has also found new host an carriers. This new problem is very concerning especially for people young and old. It also seems like pregnant woman are very susceptible to this virus as well. +In this Food, water fears remain year after Brazil mine dam disaster — COLATINA, Brazil — One year after a dam ruptured and sent a giant wave of metal-laden mud gushing into one of Brazil’s most important rivers, people who live along the banks won’t drink the water and fishermen are afraid to eat their catch.

Thankfully, they didn't have injured people, just frightened ones. As bad as the situation is, it could have been worse. While people have no homes, they have their lives and the lives of their loved ones. It is terrible these people don't have a particularly safe place to stay right now, and the thought of losing everything you own is catastrophic. But, you can rebuild your life with your family. +It's a shame that air pollution has potentially been linked to increased mental damage with young children. We often don't take into account all the damage that the fossil fuel companies have done to our society. We only praise them for creating the fuels we use but never tax them appropriately for all the damage that they cause us. +I believe protecting nature is extremely important. Whether it is climate change or restricting grazing, we must make a commitment to insuring that our lands are preserved for future generations. People can enjoy the outside and enjoying the outside is especially important for a generation that has often been labelled as couch potatoes. Such lands should be well preserved for them. +Hello friends, I will take part in this group to tell you some important news. They know that I always read and look for information. Some time ago it seems that a man died at sea after he fell off the cruiser where he was going. The person's name was Bernardo García Teixeira. Now his partner filed a lawsuit with the Royal Caribbean company. The people of the cruise and the police also allege that this couple was discussing a moment before the accident happened. +To be honest with you, In my opinion, I do not believe Russia or Syria are peaceful countries. Syria has the most corrupt and dishonest government officials in the world, and the fact that Russia has defended them through everything is very disturbing and alarming. I know we all like to think that Trump and Putin are in "bed" together, but is that really the case? What Syria does to its own people goes beyond what words can describe, and how Russia can defend these actions is almost as equally disgusting. +I cannot even be surprised by the level of insanity that is going on out there right now. I almost feel as though I am numb to it. I can no longer be moved by this madness because it is something that I can expect because of the mental illness that is prominent in our society. We can no longer feel safe that our protection is the priority today. +I am stressed about this article since gasoline is involved. Gasoline is a big thing not just for me, my family, my frienda but it is a big thing for everyone. It is always a bad news to know that something like this happened or happening because it will slow down the work we have to do. It destroys plans and budget of every individual. +The pipeline seems to be interfering with native american tribes and is causing lots of enviornmental damage. I do feel for these individuals, and it's important they get all the help they deserve. Their anscestors were decimated throughout history and there isnt enough reparations to solve the genocide that was caused. +It seems that a lawsuit is now pending for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Exessive grazing from the cattle has occured in this area and it seems to be threatening the wildlife in the area. Protective measures have been put in place over the years but there have no been serious consequences for parties that do not comply. +I feel that these Muslim areas are in dire need of help. I feel so very sad and alarmed for them, as I know the citizens are helpless and don't know who to turn to for help. It can't be easy to live in an area where you never know if you will wake up to your village being raided, your women being raped and worry of your child being dragged into Military or political rebels groups. Many people in America do not realize how much freedom, safety and peace we have by living in this country, as we have never experienced the peril that people in these Muslim countries experience. I'm sure many live in terror and fear of the unknown, of what could be, and actually the reality of their life. There are many poor villages and citizens, so they don't have options to find a way out of there. +I just read about a group of people that were celebrating Halloween and got hit by a car. It makes me wonder how people can be so irresponsible with children. They were riding on the back of a trailer when they got hit by another car. That is so unsafe. I wouldn't even want to do that with other adults, let alone children. +It looks like chaos in Iraq. The Islamic State (IS) has taken over Mosul and people are getting the hell out of there. The problem is, there is nowhere to go. There are a few camps for refugees but not nearly enough space. People are even taking there sheep which can’t be helpful… The IS has had people under their rule for almost 3 years and the people are making a run from it. No doubt they have every reason – the young women and girls feel veil-less freedom! The IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The were right to leave as the city is now a war zone with Iraqi security forces retaking the city. It is a bitter fight with the usual “blood will spill” messages rampant. Many families are leaving and there are some really heart-wrenching tales. SO SAD… Many are in fear. +I didn’t know that cocunuts are becoming in short supply. It was a very interesting article. I didn’t realize how many things are made with cocunut or that they have some kind of bank type of thing to keep the seeds. I find it so amazing to learn about things I knew nothing about. I love cocunuts and did buy some cocunut oil but haven’t used it yet. I heard that the oil was good for your skin and hair, although I haven’t tried it yet. Reading the article made me think about the show “Naked and Afraid” since the players are often in the jungle, trying to survivor and finding cocunuts on the trees. Or on the TV show Survivor, where they often eat and drink coconut juice. In honesty, I don’t know if I have ever eaten a cocunut even though I thought I did. I eat mangos, kiwi’s and oth +Global warming and fires and now being considered to be linked to one another. While being a resident of California, this to me is not surprising. Unfortunately we as a nation need to open our eyes up and realize the impact that we are having on our environment. Even worse is now we have a president who in his own words feel as though global warming is just a fabrication. This is going to cost us more money in the fire fighting department and we are going to see way worse side affects from this problem. +Micheal Moore was right about this. Trump could and did win. The more we dismissed him the stronger he got. I can't stand his attitude and his lack of compassion. But I can understand how he won. Voters were fed up with the traditional lifetime politicians. I think Hillary lost the election more than Trump won it. A lot of people didn't trust her and wanted a change. Now good or bad we have change. +It's always sad when you lose the legends no matter what. For one it makes you feel old but for two you lose any future of their work. It is also sad for the family who loses a loved one and is hard to imagine the responsibility of keeping up the name of the famous person they've loss. I mean how do you know what they would do with the rights of their music or if you should even use them anymore? +It's sad that there are still outbreaks of cholera and other diseases that are easily preventable with sanitation and access to clean drinking water. If we all pitch in just a couple dollars, the cost of buying a bottle of water, I bet we could make a significant contribution to the relief effort in Yemen. +A new study shows injected sperm birth or ICSI have shown long term studies of males born in this matter have lower sperm count. I feel they need a larger testing pool and they also need to understand the lifestyle of the men tested. Usually people that would need a special method to give birth are wealthy as well as unhealthy. Most likely thier offsprings have adapted to this similar lifestyle. +A lot of these news go unnoticed I feel. We have war in Syria and war everywhere. We have accepted it as a part of the world. It's such a shame that it's like this. Conflict has always broken us down and it's never been necessary. I don't know for how long this war has to continue. But I really feel sorry for all the lives that's been lost in this conflict. +It does seem a little disrespectful when someone starts to deface any public property. It is a disgrace and a lack of moral character when something like this happens. No one in their right mind would think of doing this could it could land you in jail for starters. Secondly, you could get sued and in today's litigious society you could go broke rather quick, even with a good lawyer. I guess that's why we have laws. Not only to protect the public, whether it be people or "spaces" because everyone is supposed to be allowed to enjoy the public domain. +It is with many tears, a heavy heart and very mixed emotions that I write that little Isibindi passed away shortly before midnight after a very, very rough 56 hours. She went through such deep sadness in her short life. I was so hoping and fighting to give her a second chance at life. A part of me feels a deep relief – the last two days were very difficult and she had so much to cope with. Little Bindi left this earth lying in my arms (the orphanage had no power so I wrapped us both in a duvet to keep her warm) It never gets easier. RIP little Bindi – may your spirit fly free! +This is disgusting. As many of you know, I am an animal lover. There is not much that makes me sad, upset and angry like any instance of an animal suffering. What this man did is unforgivable. I hope he has a mental illness. I cannot think of any other reason why someone would do something so cruel. +It is awful that there is such turmoil in the Middle East. It makes me so grateful that I am an American. Isn't it sad that Doctors Without Borders is at risk because of the fighting in the Middle East. Those people donate their time to help others and they have to worry if they are going to be hurt or killed. Such a sad area of the world. +I just read about some girls losing their parents. It was very bad. They went to a theme park to enjoy themselves and their parents were killed in front of them. It was a water ride, the kind that seats six at a time. Something mechanical happened on the ride. The maintenance check a few days prior was good, but something screwed up. There were four adults and two girls. The ride flipped over and trapped the adults. The little girls somehow escaped, but their parents were among the four dead. Apparently, the park workers didn't even notice it right away. One of the girls was by the ride exit by herself. The girls may need a lot of counseling for the rest of the lives. It was pretty bad. I would hate to see my family members die in front of me in a tragic accident like that. +This article was eye opening. I can't imagine having to wear masks as I do my normal, everyday activities or go outside. This is so weird. It's kind of disturbing, all of this. I think it's a very good thing for people to donate to the firefighters. Firefighters risk their lives to protect us, we can help them. +Hey, so I just read about this fire in Arizona. It was not super serious and no one besides one person needed to go to the hospital. It was not like super tragic but it just makes me think about my own life. It also makes me really think about my living situation. I have never thought about how I live in an apartment building shared with several other people and that their actions could have severe consequences. For example, say someone above me has a child who is playing with the stove and the parents are unaware. I fire could start and all of that is beyond my control. It really freaks me out now that I know someone besides just myself could ruin my home or personal belongings. Even worse, someone could lose their life. +So apparently there is an infamous retired nba star who is going around and pieing influential political figures haha. At first I thought it was a typo, and it was suppose to be die, but it indeed was talking about someone taking a coconut pie, and slamming it into the face of people. The act seems pretty innocent to me, and is almost sad that he is going to have to face some jail time along with the beating from the security. Obviously, you cant go around doing this, but it is tough not to laugh. +After reading that the amphibian population and specifically ranavirus might be caused by humans it makes me sad but I can understand the situation. We can often do things with unintended consequences that are not noticeable in the beginning. This appears to be the thought here that maybe we have caused these amphibians to become sick because of carrying the disease in or perhaps genetic mutations. Either way, it is a sad situation that will hopefully be able to be reversed before it is too late but these types of things happen in our society without specific intention. I feel for the little froggies though and hope science can find a way to preserve them and their habitat. +There is some killing in Indonesia most likely related to Muslims. Overall I'm not surprised by this news, the Islam religion holds many radicals and there are enough proof that the top leaders of these Islam groups support oppression. Just look at at all the hajibs in these muslim countries these are sad pathetic men that are afraid of women. +Hey, aren't you from the south? Have you had any issues with wildfires in your area? There's all this talk about forest fires and droughts in California, but this is the first time I've heard about stuff going down in your area. Everything okay down there? Make sure you stay safe! I know you don't go out much, but it doesn't take much to have a disaster to fall on your doorstep. +The officer whose car had been hit approached Ms Rader to find she had an "unclasped brassiere" and was trying to put on her blouse, police said.The freshman told the officer that she had been driving back to her residence on campus.The arresting officer wrote in an affidavit: "I asked her why she was not dressed while driving and she stated she was taking a Snapchat photo to send to her boyfriend while she was at a red light."She was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and released from jail on Thursday morning on a $2,000 (£1,600) bail bond, police said. +there has been talks on how this is an agenda that is being pushed right now, just like the massive shootings right now. people are just killing innocent people no matter what the color of theyre skin is although people aare always going to find a way to make it a racial matter or discuss how its biased or how the person was a racist but the only one who knows that is the person who commited the act. +Dear Friend, I just read a ridiculously vapid article about Kim Kardashian and her posting photos of her jewelry on instagram. She was nearly mugged last year and the article is explaining how its a bad idea for her to show off her expensive diamonds online. I think this story is silly and weightless and I dont really see how anyone could care about it. +That article was a steaming pile of nonsense. Storied about criminals emboldened to assault and kill cops by the media's sympathetic bias towards criminals is a regular occurrence these days. Black Lives Matter is a borderline terrorist organization who believes there should be no laws, or at the very least, that black people should be exempt from them. They're in favor of abolishing the police and penal system. What sane person riots over a criminal getting the inevitable ending that comes from leading a lawless and dangerous life? When I read about a white criminal getting killed in a confrontation with the police, I feel relief. My instinct is to say "good riddance" and not go out and loot a liquor store and burn down fast food restaurants. +I have never heard of sleep paralysis but it doesn't sound like a particularly dangerous disorder. We all undergo a state of unconsciousness during sleep where we dream and cannot control certain things in the dream. But this seems to be an extension of dreaming where your brain becomes out of synch with your body. I suspect this may something to do with stress and mental health problems +I am really touched by this story. the rescue just restored my faith in humanity.The success of the rescue operation proves that extraordinary things can be achieved with passion and determination. human conflict causes suffering to both human beings and animals. Suffering animals should not be forgotten or overlooked, even in the midst of human conflicts or natural or man-made disasters. I was very touched and encouraged by these acts of bravery and care towards animals. +I can't believe what's going on overseas. It's so tragic that people in the military are still dying in war, and for what? I thought they would be gone from there by now but they're not. And there's still issues with kidnappings and things of that nature. It's really quite shocking when you think about it. +hey . have u heard about the accident where a fuel tank exploded and around 75 people where burned to death and many more are injured . what a world we live in where people for some profit put their life in danger as well as other . this make me sick to my core . who going to take responsibility for all that life lost and uncomfortable +Dude, there is some pretty messed up stuff going on. I feel like every time I turn on the news or open a newspaper I am reading about pedophilia going on all over the world. I feel like it is much more common than anyone realizes and that at any given moment, I could be walking past someone who is sexually attracted to children. It is crazy to think about and really scary. +When I read this article, to be honest, I do not have any feeling because I am not a fan of all these artists. I do listen to pop songs, but I am not interested in this copyright issues. I would say that copy right is an important part for people to obey because it is a respect to the knowledge and author. +This man lived here almost his entire life. His infractions in which he was charged with are explainable. He literally was getting back his only true property from a more than troubled house. This also was a very long time ago. He has since built himself up a life with a family and now they are looking to deport him. this is a tragedy. We must do something about this! +I feel very sorry for their entire family regarding the divorce. Even though the daughters are now adults that doesn't mean they aren't negatively affected. Twenty-seven years is a long time to be married, and I think this translates to a long period of healing for the parents. Its not a good situation. I also wonder about the impact of the divorce on the daughters' image of the security of marriage for their own lives. It seems that the parents did try for a long time. I wish them well. +Non-human animals are given rights only because of their interactions with human beings. Without involvement with humans, animals do not deserve rights. It is through this interaction with humans that animals are even given moral consideration. As the outcome, animals are becoming even further tarred in society. Humans have and are continuing to handle animals as if they are some kind of material goods. This is considered as being immoral, as animals have their own lives, and they think, have feelings, can feel pain, require love, happiness, and everything else that humans have. As for human rights, it’s always uncertain. +The Native American have been through so much already to try to keep just a small part of the land that they called their own and slow but surely they continue to lose a battle against the USA government.It seems as though it is just a very period of time before the only place to find native Americans with be in the lying pages of our school books. +That poor boy must have just gotten curious and looked down, or perhaps he tripped and fell into it. I can't imagine the pain he must have gone through being stuck in there for days until he finally died. That must have been agonizing and terrible. How could the father not have found him by then? Surely he screamed? It's so sad. +our president party people are making something stupid on some occasions, you see ‘Silicon Valley’ stars recount being harassed by Donald Trump supporters. some one insulting Trump and making fight with them, its not necessary. unwanted fights and unwanted speech should be avoided. because all are having responsible position and work to do, At bar doing nasty things no good using some people name +I tend to be very hard-hearted when it comes to issues of immigration. Yet this is a man for who all intents and purposes is an American, raised here from the age of three and facing deportation for missed paperwork? This is quite frankly a steaming pile of bullshit. There are those who come here, infest neighborhoods and take away jobs from hard working Americans and then there are victims of bureaucratic anarcho-tyranny like this. These types of scenarios are unacceptable. I tend to believe that a system that will let the guilty go free is preferable to one that will punish even one innocent man. Men like this deserve to be treated as Americans, because they are. +The article also good.The four key things can do while helping a friend who may have anxiety or hanging out with their friends as much anymore or are always tired and feeling down. Suggest they see a doctor or health professional and/or help them to make possible, the person's spouse or a mutual friend may be able to give +I hate ISIS. They are a group full of hate and insanity. There is no reason for them to be doing the things they do. They make people suffer and die for no reason at all. They think they are better than other people and should be disbanded. I do not think there is room in this world for people that associate with them and they are highly misguided. I cannot respect them at all. +i think we all need to do a better job of taking care of are forest and water ways because we rely on these to surive and if we are killing animals and fish the wrong way and they start to go away it could have a big impact on us and by that time it could be to late to do anything about it. so we need to put laws in that will help the animals but also help allow us to fish for them the right way not by taking a shortcut +Wow, how dare this person hurt a poor flamingo for no reason!? Why would some random dude go to Busch Gardens and abuse a bird who was minding its own business? Poor bird had to be euthanized because of its injuries! The bird was 19 years old! It seems that there may have to be some sort of background check or mental health testing before you are even allowed to visit a place like this.Just unbelievable the way things happen! Soooo SAD! +This is just one of the negative consequences of long term war in a region. The hospitals in Yemen have been devastated by war and no diseases are starting to spread among the population with no way to control them without outside help. I hope the people of Yemen will be able to find humanitarian aid soon to help them control the spread of disease. +Hey! So I just read this article about the internet in schools. I guess that several years ago, the government came up with this program to get internet and technology in to schools and make it possible for as many or all students to have access to computers and the internet. However, according to this article, this program is not working the way that it was set up to work and students are not actually benefiting from this program that costs A LOT of money! I was upset to read this, as I feel that the internet can be such a valuable tool in education, but then I really wasn't surprised at all to learn that the government isn't doing what it has been set up to do or what it is promising us citizens it will do. Doesn't the government just infuriate you and make you think you could do better? +I feel like the Syrian war situation is just completely out of control at this point, but what often bothers me more is that people who supported Obama for both terms had a sort of blind spot on this issue. When the Arab Spring happened and then the Libyan war and now the Syrian war (et cetera) there was very little meaningful opposition to it from the Democrat-voting side of the aisle. Republican lawmakers just pretended to be opposed to thwart Obama, if they even did that. In reality, the whole government supported "removing Assad" and because that objective was considered SO important, now we have the current situation of extreme tragedy. I feel like it is hard to convey how important this is. +Supposedly there is a lot of unrest in Ethiopia right now over the appropriation of land and government protest. I thought they were doing well and the economy was growing but i guess it has ceased now. Its unbelievable that all this is going on and most people in the states are aware of whats going on. +i like We expect Turkey to safeguard its parliamentary democracy, including respect for human rights and the rule of law, and we are conveying these expectations directly to the Turkish authorities,” Mogherini said in a statement with the EU’s enlargement commissioner,Erdoğan has launched repeated personal attacks on Demirtaş, who analysts have seen as the sole politician in Turkey who comes anywhere near to rivalling his charisma. Demirtaş has made it a personal crusade to oppose Erdoğan’s plan for a presidential system in Turkey, which the HDP says would lead to dictatorship. +Did you hear about what had happened to the kid in china. They found his body dead in a desserted well in China after he was helping his father pick some vegetables or something like that. I just feel like if he was helping his father, then it is hard to believe that his dad did not know he had fallen into the well. Either way, sad story. +I just read about a company is threatening one of the largest populations of Orangutan's in Indonesia by chopping down a critical forest to convert it to a tree plantation. I think it's really disgusting that Indonesia knows they need to preserve their land and wild life but still allows things like this to happen. +it is a very interesting article. quite a good read and has important information. the article did really communicate to me i felt like the author was talking to me trying to relay some sort of information. i like the use of language that the author uses, very simple and easy to understand for everyone. please read it. +I thought this was a pretty interesting article. I learned some things about music and lawsuits. It might be relevant to some of what you and I were talking about some time ago. In any case, it has some new facts that have come to light, as it were, new information or opinions that I had not fully considered prior to reading this article. +Did you hear about the polar bear name Pizza called the word's saddest polar bear? Apparently they are not treating it well in China by not giving it enough space and turning his life into a circus show. He started to inflict self harm because of his living condition. I really hope China comes up with better animal cruelty laws although I doubt this will happen because of our culture difference. It makes me furious knowing animals are being treated like this over there. +This article was about a rash of fires in the south, particularly Appalachia. It mentioned dry conditions causing numerous fires and contributing to pollution that made the air dangerous and unpleasant to breathe. It also said that some of the fires were probably caused by arson, but didn't dwell too much on that aspect. The quoted official mentioned that dry conditions meant more fires could easily be accidentally started and that was a danger. +I feel bad for the Queen. She just lost her husband and now she's sick. I also feel bad for the people over there. They've had rulers as leaders for so long that most of the weren't even alive to experience anybody else. I hope she recovers and is able to get a few more good years out of her life. +The Year's Strongest Storm Sweeps by Taiwan — Typhoon Meranti gathered in strength as it swept close to Taiwan on Wednesday, and with maximum winds of 230 miles per hour it has been called the strongest storm of the year. Meranti was classified as Category 5, the highest on the scale. The storm has brought not only high winds, but also heavy rain, and many Taiwanese cities have flooded. Trains and shipping services in some southern cities had stopped, and most flights were grounded. As of Wednesday, there were only a few injuries. +The disgust I have while reading this story. No one should send there child to school to learn and have to worry about sexual assault in any form. She makes other teachers look bad. Taking a plea deal was her best choice. There is never an acceptable reason for something like this to happen. The fact she had a young daughter too is scary. +Did you read this article? it is awful. Every time i hear about a murder suicide type situation I wonder where someone could have intervened, some doctor, some professional, some family member, who could have have done something to step in so that these people could be alive today? It will drive you crazy if you keep thinking about it. +I think parents complaining about their preteen children are overreacting. Just deal with it and everything will be okay. You can't place them in a toy box anymore or sit them in front of the TV and tell them to sit and watch it until it's done. I'm not worried about this because I have no kids of my own and I could care less. +Can you believe they're doing this? Kicking people out of their homes to expand a stupid airport? Screw these guys. what do you think? Personally, I'm upset and I'm starting a petition. Please sign it if you're against this issue like I am. It's absolutely ridiculous and should never happen, so there you go +Wow, I just read an article that says coconuts could be in danger of becoming much more scarce. There is a bacteria going around that causes lethal yellowing and wipes them out. Due to the water concentration, a traditional seed bank is not an option. You would have to have a living gene bank. That would affect a lot of companies and industries. +I just read about a young male wolf that was shot dead after walking 700 miles in search of a mate. That seems pretty awful. I am thinking about all of the different paths that wolf walked along on his journey, only to see it end in disaster. Apparently it was a government sniper that killed him. I'm not sure why the government has snipers to kill wolves. If they are posing a direct threat, then of course animals must be killed, but I don't see that this wolf was threatening anyway. It seems dishonorable. +Did you hear about the guy who was the father who works for the Swedish government? This guy for some unknown reason contracted a flesh eating bacteria disease. It took them awhile to diagnose what really was wrong with him and he had to take certain surgeries in order to save his life. He talks about how he's grateful to be alive but also wants to live in the moment to enjoy his life as well. It is touching news and I'm happy that he's able to overcome this adversity that came upon his life. +ISTANBUL, have you heard what is going on over near Turkey? Man I am not even really sure myself but it sounds pretty messed up. At least eight members of parliament were charged with some type terrorism-related crimes. This is just sickening to me. Turkey’s parliament voted to strip lawmakers of their immunity +The elections nowadays are just so unrelenting. You have to spend a lot of money on campaigns and trying to put down the other person. It's a wonder that man doesn't spend all his money that he has earned. I don't think he even got a chance to tell anyone what kind of person he is. He gets torn down before he has a chance to do anything. I'm just so mad at the whole election system and the way things are done. Everything about your past and present gets brought up and nothing you do can go unnoticed. +I read about this asshole Arcan Cetin who shot up a mall in Oak Harbor, Washington. Evidently before he did the shooting he had been placed under a no firearm order because he had been charged with domestic assault. I guess it just goes to show that gun laws are a pointless joke; if this guy had been a decent law abiding person no gun law would be needed, but because it was a criminal and a murderer the law didn't do anything to stop him from shooting up a mall. +There is no way the FBI or any government agency could figure out what a lone wolf terrorist was going to do. Some terrorist could walk into anywhere and just start shooting the place up. It's terrible what the United States has become. The only way I see to limit terrorism is to try and limit immigration into the country, but even that doesn't solve things. Seems like if you don't live the right kind of life to someone, whether it's being gay etc., then somebody tries to hurt you. It's terrible. +Dude I seriously cannot believe what happened at the zoo not too long ago. A kid fell into a moat in May when he fell through the barrier. Wow it must have been so terrifying for the family. Then the gorilla picked up the boy and carried him a little bit. They actually ended up shooting the gorilla which is so sad. +Dude, you won't believe this. A six-year-old girl fell down an elevator shaft and died. The elevator company has to be at fault here, but that won't bring her back! I can't imagine how her parents must feel, looking at my little boy and wondering what it would be like if we lost him in such a horrible -- yet preventable -- tragedy. I feel so bad for the parents, but I wonder if they could have prevented it somehow, and if so, it would be hard not to blame them somewhat for what happened. But that isn't to deflect guilt over how horrible they must feel, as no one wants to lose their child in such an egregious tragedy. I hope you pray for the family with me! +I just read an article about a very strong Category 5 typhoon, ‘Typhoon Meranti’, which grew stronger as it swept close to Taiwan on Wednesday. A Category 5 has intense maximum winds of 230 miles per hour, and is being called the strongest storm of the year. There were no deaths reported but a handful of injuries and of course electricity is out for large numbers of residents. The storm may intensify as it heads toward China and is being monitored. What a tragedy could unfold if it makes a direct hit on some of the highly populated areas in China. Could end up being one of the strongest storms of the century. +we just have a long way to go.Too many times we do not believe the victim especially if they are females.Things happen to them especially now and they are coming out but we still ask for proof when we should believe in them most and that should be more than enough proof.We want to believe them and show them that we care as people and that we would do what it takes to get them the justice that they deserve +How sick is this. A visitor at Busch Gardens in Florida attacked a flamingo. Park staff had to euthanize the bird because of its injuries. It seems the flamingo did some sort of unique dance and had become quite well known for it. The guy is being held on bond, charged with animal cruelty. They ought to throw the book at him. +This article is fascinating - takes the concept of global warming and directly ties it with the impact on weather events. These events show a vast contrast between both extremely hot weather and also extreme amounts of precipitation when compared across historical items. Showing it is not just a regionally focused weather pattern, but in fact across the country that is the most troubling. +It makes me sad to think of this man who was mentally unstable attacking people. I wonder sometimes how many attacks are attributed to terrorists when in reality the people might just be mentally ill. I wish we had a better system for treating mental illness in our country instead of locking people away. +It's too bad that we are still in the middle east. I wish Trump would just pull out of the middle east entirely so our soldiers will stop being targets for all the countries that hate us. The longer we are there the easier we make it for them to inflict damage to our troops. It must not be easy for them to be there away from their families. +It is appalling that there are places that would actively want to get immunized and cant due to lack of resources. While at the same time in America there are parents who actively keep their children from getting them. Their should be social consequences in place the parents who intentionally endanger their children like this. I would think a hefty tax that goes to implementing vaccines in impoverished areas would be a great idea. +I said Trump would win. Polls said otherwise, I didn't care, I knew the fucker would win. I think people are not willing to accept that others are really shitty and that someone like Trump would be voted in. They can't see past others. People have too much faith in others, too much trust. There are a lot of vile people out there, just gotta encourage them a little bit and they'll come out. Trump was their encouragement. What will the liberals do now? I don't know. Sometimes I think we will be okay, sometimes I think we won't. I just know that going to one march is going to do shit. You need tens of marches, packed to the brim. You need them every weekend. For months. You need to call your officials, complain, elect them, vote them out. Do more. But one march isn't going to do shit. +Hey, I just read this article today. It takes place in 2011 and is about an inmates at a federal prison that had to choose between living with a violent cellmate or end up in shackles. In the cell they had to spend nearly 24 hours a day together in a concrete room smaller than a parking space, can you imagine? I learned that they have a form of punishment there and it is called "four-pointing". They cuff each limb to the corner of a concrete slab or bed frame. That just sounds like torture to me. The guy that the story is about is serving a 35-year sentence for drug trafficking and assaulting a corrections officer. This prison is known as the toughest prison and I can see why. You really should read this article, it is very eye opening. +It's amazing what people will do to avoid embarrassment. I just heard about a guy who was concerned over urinary track issues and decided the best way to figure out his problem was to shove a stainless steel chopstick into his urethra. It had to be removed via surgery, and it sounds like it was successful, but Jesus Christ man, go to a doctor. +France plans to shut down the jungle as they call it. This was where they kept illegal immigrants trying to make their way to Britain. I certainly feel for anyone looking for a better life and at times wish all countries had open borders as this one isn't so great at times but we do have laws and many immigrants enter other countries legally and I think there needs to be some sort of controls that make the process fair to legal citizens. I feel for the immigrants but it's hard to support their actions when they could also do so legally as opposed to sneaking in by way of hiding in trucks. +Wow, what a horrible and terrifying accident,I feel very bad for the people involved and their families. I wonder what caused this terrible accident, I hope that it was not any human error, because that makes it worse to deal with. I cannot imagine being on that train and the intensity of the accident. It makes me feelvery sad thinking about the deaths of those people on board. +The author of this article I read examined several cases in which youth were killed in gun violence on the same day. They used the personal stories of a couple of people to show how the ready availability of guns contributes to sad situations in which kids are shot and killed. It wasn't as well written as a lot of journalism in this area, but it was pretty interesting to hear the stories of the two cases that were detailed. One involved a violent adult who went on a rampage and shot an ex-girlfriend's child and another person. The other story involved two kids who were left alone in a home that had a lot of guns and one of them ended up shooting and killing the other, claiming it was an accident. The author concludes by calling for more active challenges to the NRA and the second amendment +I hate to hear about officers getting shot but news spreads of officers doing illegal or corrupt things all the time and that will ultimately lead to extremists who want to take matters into their own hands in a revengeful way. I don't like that part of our society but it isn't something that is easy to combat. As long as officers get blasted on news or the internet for illegal actions, people are going to look for ways to retaliate. Its an extremely volatile situation no matter how you look at it. I bleed for all those affected but really don't see what we can do as a society to prevent it. +I hadn't heard about this and I find it surprising. I initially thought of the ecological factor so it's a good thing that it was contained. It's worrisome that people are struggling to find gas anywhere. I imagine those areas don't have good options for public transportation or anything. Maybe it will push people to get smart cars or ride bikes. +I just read this article indirectly about climate change that I know you'll find interesting. It talks about the extinction of three different species. It's a sad situation, but if you read it, it was almost entirely the fault of man, and climate change only played a small part. The worst part is that it could have been prevented if somebody had sounded the alarm in time. +How awful. I have the feeling things like this are going to get more and more common - racists are going to feel more comfortable and much bolder if there's someone in office that seems to approve of actions like these. We need a leader who takes a strong stance against racism and hate crimes like this, or our country will continue to fracture. +I just heard about more poaching of rhinos, animals in general! This one was a black rhino very old, but what I don't understand is why people are so money focused and are willing to kill for it? Out of all the ways we could be making money why is killing animals something pretty defenseless if we just leave them alone, the main focus for money for some? I've never had a desire to hurt an animal for any reason, you? +Sometimes I worry a little, when I'm out in public, about a mass-shooting (or even some crazy with a vehicle running people over) happening. But, on the other side of the coin, the chances are pretty slim of that happening. Plus, if you think about it, the worst thing that happens, if that were to occur, is that I die and then nothing is my problem anymore. I'm in no rush to die, but if it happens, it happens. It's an inevitability. +A reward of $25000 is being offered to catch somebody who is killing horses in the Salt River area. There are several murders of horses every year. Anyways, the group raising the money started a campaign on GoFundMe, and people have donated $25000. The group also is concerned with conservation-related issues. +the phone lines from the suicide prevention line surged after the election. it also climbed when robin williams committed suciide. thankfully there is this prevention line to help those in need who have sucidal thoughts but we need to condition people that committing sucide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem +This article here was a bit confusing and I really couldn't see the point. From what I gathered a Militia from Ohio is trying to defend its' people from an overbearing federal government. I can completely understand why they would want to stand up to the federal government. Apparently, a protestor was shot by the government. I seen nothing in the article that explained the protestor was violent or a danger to the ones around him. Just shot for protesting. This is an outrage! +Read an interesting article about blight in the forests you might enjoy. So true, you just have to live to learn with things. Change is certain. It's the one constant on the planet as in life. Check it out, it's sort of sad fact of reality but as true as can be. Change is gonna come regardless of what you do and regardless of if you want it to or not. +The article that I just read sheds light on how hard it really is for people to get out of timeshares. The article highlighted an older couple. The couple bought their timeshare when their children were younger and they were able to travel. Now, many years later, the older couple finds it hard it get traveler's insurance. They also stated how expensive traveling can be alone. The couple is struggling to get rid of their timeshare. It makes me feel for the couple and other people in this financial burden. +Hey T, I found an article that I thought you would be interested in. It is about how Iraqis found evidence of torture by Islanic State in mass graves near the city Mosul. Can you believe that, they literally just killed and dumped bodies there. From what the articles says in just one hours time they found 20 to 25 bodies. Some where hard to even tell if it were human or not. They still can't figure out how they died but they will soon enough. Though from the state of decomposition it has only been a few weeks that they have been there. All I can say is that were tortured point blank. +I'm no parent and I completely believe Donald Trump is a horrible man. With that being said, I don't think it is correct to shun your child from having a different belief as you. Children should be able to freely be able to open up a discussion with their parents and analyze their opposing views without worrying if they will receive any type of punishment. I love jokes and pulling pranks, but to do that to your own child and then to publicly embarrass them...well that doesn't seem funny at all to me. It worries me that the child will from now on tiptoe around certain topics for fear of upsetting their parent. +A diseased called microcephaly has spread from South America to America. It's a virus which causes severe brain impairment. In the article, a couple's child has the disease and showed signs of impairment early on. They were worried whether a second child would also have the disease but the child did not even though the odds were one in four. +Looks like the drought isn't only affecting California, the drought is affecting other regions in the mid west. The drought creating drier climates making them more susceptible to fires and that region has already lost 100,000 acres to forest fires. The drought is definitely a major issue that needs to be addressed. +While I was reading the article, I found myself not feeling warm or sympathetic. I guess I just do not care, to be frank, about the things happening in Haiti. I don't think others care either. That's where a lot of my focus was, thinking about how others don't care. I think for the most part, people don't generally care about what is happening in other countries. I think Haiti is one of them. I think people have just been forced to care. Anyway, as I said, I don't care about Haiti. +Get too close to a skunk, and it will spray you with a noxious mix of sulphuric thiols, the chemicals in raw onions that make you cry.The spray doesn't just stink: it chokes your lungs and causes temporary blindness, allowing the skunk to get away.The scent is produced in anal glands at the base of the tail, and is fired through nipples attached to the glands. Impressive muscle control allows skunks to target their enemy's face at a distance of over 2m.Without this deterrent, the slow-moving skunks would be unable to escape from predators. +The dwindling wilderness is due, in part to humanity’s activities such as logging, agriculture, mining, and of course, oil and gas exploration. The research team from Australia’s University of Queensland said the Earth has lost nearly 1.3 million square miles of wilderness. They’ve defined wilderness as an area with no human development. Dr. James Watson of the University of Queensland in Australia said globally important wilderness areas are completely ignored in environmental policy, and much has been paid to the loss of species. Without any policies to protect them, they are “falling victim to widespread development,” he added. Dr. Watson also revealed that humanity has one to two decades to turn things around. +I just read the article and I am so surprised that this happened. I feel really embarrassed for her because it seems obvious that she's the one starting trouble but I worry that she might have some sort of mental illness or disorder that she really didn't realize what she said and that makes me feel bad for her. I can understand her concerns about racism but I think that she's just not very credible in this case. I just feel like we need to be really sensitive towards racism and keep an open mind when it happens, but considering that there were other people there and absolutely no one is backing her up, I don't know if we can really take her seriously and that's really sad. Crowe also doesn't seem like the kind of person to be racist or to bully someone for absolutely no reason, either. +So the police found this woman wondering the streets in Philadelphia at 1 am with no coat on in the cold. She was in some kind of daze, probably alzheimer's or something. Anyways, their trying to identify her. It would suck to be in that state of mind. Sounds horrible and potentially scary if your cognizant enough. +I read this article about a bus that was hit a random car from out of nowhere. The bus was parked and the car just plowed into it. It's kind of fucked up but typical. A few people were hospitalized but no one died. Anyways their investigating the crash. These types of incidents happen so often I'm rather numb to their effects. +This is just such a sad situation. I wish they had been able to find out more when they investigated, but I guess they can't always get it right. I really feel for the father. He did what he could to stop his son and he wasn't able to. It reminds me of a certain person I know whose family member was involved in a different kind of violent extremism. Sometimes people you love go on terrible paths and you don't have enough information to do anything until it's too late. +Well Toughie the Frog died. He was in a zoo. He was twelve years old at least. They say he was older since he was caught as an adult. I wonder what gave him such a long life. They don't live long around here where I live. I cannot imagine a frog living that long. That's as long as a dog almost. I hope they earned a great deal from him. +I just read an article about kids being killed on Halloween night. It's an awful tragedy that we need to try to prevent. Because someone was driving stupid, kids were killed. Halloween is a time to have responsible fun and some guy took it to the extremes. It's sad, and I feel for those parents. No parent should have to bury their child. +I have always thought that politics were a scam and this is another example of politics gone wrong. Every country runs into problems sometimes and in this case they would like her to step down from her position. Do you think she really has a say though or will they just force her to step down if she does not volunteer. +It seems like Paris is getting to be a very dangerous place. I know who Kardashian is, but I have never heard of this Sherawat. It sounds like she is par for the course in Hollywood, just another Obama and Hillary supporter. But still, its terrible to be tear gassed and beaten, and I feel sorry for her. +Interesting article, and I can see both sides of the issue. On one hand, it is true that it's incredibly, incredibly hard for people to immigrate to America. The old saying that you "need money to make money" is true in the sense that if you show up on our shores with nothing at all, it's going to be awfully hard to make anything of yourself. That being said, the American dream has always been one of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and being a self-made-man. You need to be able to do things on your own and most of the most successful people on Earth came from abject poverty. +Hello Friend. I am really very surprised at all the things that have happened and continue and continue to happen in the world. Now the big problem we are facing in this part of the United States of America is a new outbreak or virus. The specialists in the field of health still do not know what this problem is due to and how to stop it. Here I write part of what I have learned on the subject. This started in November and the symptoms are fever, a lot of chills, and difficulty to breathe +I hate it when these terrorist attacks happen on innocent people who are just living their lives. I don't know how open societies can completely eliminate them? You can't put the terrorist stigma on everyone of a certain religion and you can't close off your society. There's always going to be religious zealots and crazy people who feel violence is the only way to get their ideas across, but we just have to keep fighting them and trying our best to prevent an attack when possible. +I think with all the social media and news stories, recent incidents involving terror attacks, and those who are of a different race commuting these acts, especially since the 9/11 attack this will always be an issue with people because we are just alarmed, even though some may have nothing to do with terrorism or any type of situation regarding that but they will always be perceived that way because of what happened in the past. It's probably not right of those who are discriminating and the airlines really need to do something about all the complaints. +I am crushed after hearing about the conditions in Haiti after Hurricane Matthew hit the area. The people are literally starving to death and the injured and sick do not have access to enough, if any medical care. There are areas that are completely inaccessible to aid, either medically or food or water supplies. There is extensive looting in Haiti and the situation is extremely dangerous even for those that try to bring in supplies to the people living there. My heart is breaking as I think of all the people, children and adults in Haiti. It is a country that still has not recovered from the earthquake that happened there years before. I think that our country should continue to report on these terrible conditions and try to get aid to Haiti from every source available. +It is nice to see others doing things to help those that are in need or have gone through negative experiences. I think things like this show how the world can come together when it needs to and that other countries do care about their people. This is a fine example and a defining moment that many people should see. +I can't believe this article that I just read. They are making these allegations of Islamophobia and all kinds of crazy notions of hatred against gays, etc. What do they expect people to think when every time we hear of a bombing, it is a muslim. Do they expect people to say thank you? I don't hear any Islamic leaders speaking out against any of the terrorism. Are we just to sit back and say "thank you sir, may I have another." Not only do I not hear any Islamic leaders speaking out against it, I don't hear any muslim citizens speaking out either. As to the gay and transgender stuff, I will speak out against whomever I wish. They have a right to spew their immoral acts all of the place, then I have the right to speak out against their immoral acts which are an affront to almighty God +I honestly can't believe I just read that whole article about a frog. I absolutely despise them. They are some of the most vile creatures on this earth. Ew. But.... there was something pretty interesting at the end of the article. One of the researchers claim that over half of all species will be extinct by the end of the century. That is insane!!!! Pretty sure most of that is due to climate change but we have Donald Asshat and Company who refuse to acknowledge it or its repercussions. +I know that you are an animal lover like I am. It really bothers me that individuals open up zoos and don't really care about the animals. It is wonderful that an organization was available to take these animals out of the zoo near the Gaza Strip. I will not be going to any zoos anytime soon. How about you? Animals need to be free, not stared at and yelled at by little children. They deserve space. For now on when someone asks me to go to a zoo, my answer is nooooo! +This article about a firecracker going off during a protest is about the stupidest thing I have seen in a while. The journalists are pond scum trying desperately to write anything they can to divide people up. College kids can't bear a firecracker going off, they need to institute mandatory military service like Israel does, then maybe they would not be scared chickens crying about everything. +Hey, check this out. This guy ended up murdering his wife for no obvious ad apparent reason, according to this article. He was happily married to his wife and just ended up committing a homicide. It's scary to think about, how it could be possible for someone to just go off like that and kill someone they love. +As a parent, I feel that is definitely one of my responsibilities to teach my children the importance of loving and taking care of our environment. Without the wilderness, the animals will have nowhere to live, and without the wilderness, what will our animals be forced to live in. What I want them to remember is that they are the ones living in the environment, not the environment invading on our lives. We must take care of it in order to make sure that we have a sustainable environment our children's children. +I think that global warming is definitely a very real thing that is occurring today and I feel like it is sad that there are still people who try to deny the fact that it is a very real thing. Sometimes I feel like the people that disagree with scientists and real evidence that global warming is very obvious today is just very ignorant and live in a bubble where they think that everything is fine in the world and everyone is at peace. There are so many reasons why we should be using fewer resources as it is constantly destroying our environment and it is unfortunate that there are people who just continue to deplete our resources without a care in the world. Maybe the effects won't be felt as much in our generation but I am sure that the effects will be felt by those others after us sadly. +I feel like a lot of artists do this or try to do this. Take credit for music or lyrics that others have helped with. This probably happeneds more then we know about. They just made an entire Disney movie on it. Coco. It basically was about 2 singers and the one killed the other so no one would know he made and wrote all the lyrics and music that the one guy stole. I mean any way you look at it it's not right. The guy does serve and pay out and then some for what he has done to his friend. +I wonder who shot him and where. Did he get shot in the chest? The arm? The leg? The back? Where????? And also, where was he when he got shot? Was he inside or outside of the club? Did he drive himself? Was he alone? Did anyone else get shot?????? Sooooo many questions, so little answers. Has anyone been arrested yet? Are there any suspects????? +Cohen moved to New York in 1966 at age 31 to break into the music business. Before long, critics were comparing him with Bob Dylan for the lyrical force of his songwriting. Although he influenced many musicians and won many honors, including induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Order of Canada, Cohen rarely made the pop music charts with his sometimes moody folk-rock. His most ardent admirers compared his works to spiritual prophecy. He sang about religion, with references to Jesus Christ and Jewish traditions, as well as love and sex, political upheaval, regret and what he once called the search for “a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. +So apparently even turtles are poised to suffer from our careless destruction of the planet vis a vis degradation to habitats due to climate change. Though it seems like they will be able to withstand the changes in temperature, it is not at all clear what will be the outcome of the potentially lost habitats they live in due to climate change. These guys have been around longer than we have, as a species. It's really sad to think that we would be responsible for endangering them even further than we already have. +I just read this article about contact lenses. It has some good information about the risks associated with improper wear of contacts. I can't believe there are some people who store their lenses in tap water. Gross! I definitely make it a point to not wear my lenses over the 30 day limit and I try to never fall asleep in wearing them. +I just read an article discussing the impact global warming is having on polar bears. It's really troubling to read about just how much damage is being done, and you KNOW that nobody is going to do anything about it for years here. We have a man-child president, and while the majority of the biggest countries are trying to make policy changes to fight global warming, our president is dismantling our E.P.A organization, and putting idiots that don't give two craps about the environment in charge. So when can we expect polar bears to go extinct? Because you know by the time we get around to helping them, it'll be too late. The older, conservative generation just needs to go. Anyways, you should really read this article. I told you this was an issue that needed to be addressed, so go read it. +I can't say that I specifically care about the election, and would rather have someone besides the two main parties win for once. I also personally dont like Trump, as I find him to be a rather bombastic idiot, and wish Hillary wuold have won, though I didn't particularly want either of them. I hope he takes the stress of the election into becoming a better leader. +Did you hear about what happened in Afghanistan? There were civilian and military deaths during battles with the Taliban. I cannot imagine what the Afghan family members are going through or what the families of the Americans here are going through. It is such a great loss. This war has got to end soon. I know that the US troops are just trying to help the Afghanis but there are so many things that go on during these battles. I pray an end comes soon. +This is a nice little distillation of American culture. I cant criticize the entire thing enough. The shallowness of the need for fake aesthetics, the absurdity of the legal system, the shoddy products of huge corporations playing to the solipsism of American sheep. It's just another sad piece of shit. Calgon, take me away. +Can't believe the jury failed to convict the people involved in the National Wildlife Refuge takeover in Oregon. The people weren't even from Oregon. They traveled half way across the country, invaded the facility, and barricaded themselves inside. Yet the jury didn't find reasonable cause to believe they impeded Wildlife Service workers from doing their jobs. Bunch of alt-right would-be cowboys. +Whenever you hear about tragedy you can't help but put yourself in their place and worry about how they feel. You wonder about how they react, and how they can believe that a simple accident can hurt someone that they love. I am sure that they will second guess themselves, and wonder how they could let something like that happen. +Can you imagine what kind of heartache these people must be going through? I don't know what it would be like to have to live in fear that your own country is going to be bombed, let alone receiving a messages basically telling you that if you don't get out now you could die from a bombing. Politics is making life so hard for so many innocent people. +Muslim immigration seems to have some unique issues. I think the solution is to hold off with allowing much Muslim immigration until Muslims start polling better on ideas involving apostates, etc. As evidenced by polls (even in European countries), the ideas Muslims accept put them at odds with basic educational values. I think seeking a professional to talk and try to fix mental issues can be a good thing. The right therapy can likely help certain people. What concerns me is living situations that are unhealthy for economic reasons, and psychological problems concerning motivation. I suspect some mental issues may not be helped by seeing a professional. +Considering that since Donald Trump got elected, there has been a rise in reported hate crimes that have turned out to be hoaxes, I'd say there's at least a fifty percent chance this is a fake too. Even if it's not, it didn't happen to me or anyone I care about, and it didn't happen anywhere near where I live, so it's of absolute zero concern to me. Nothing more to say about that, but I know I have to fill in a certain number of characters. +i feel liek this is a very opinionated article. Im not sure who wrote this article but I truly feel like they have alot of raw mixed up emotional feelings that they cant get out. Although, we are all very aware of the constant changes going on int he world with equality and everyone going through the issues of being unjust and such..its alot to handle and alot of people just dont know what to do. i feel lbad for the people in the story +Let’s hope those are very isolated incidents triggered by people with mental health issues. It might be that there were crazy things like that happening before but we heard less about them. Still, I’ve been reading everywhere that hate crimes or incidents motivated by racism are climbing. And it’s not surprising considering that bigots are being empowered by people in high positions, some in a very high position… +I had no idea that the Great Lakes area had problems with earthquakes. I'm glad that it wasn't a bigger on but it is still had how much damage was done. I feel better for those families that lost loved ones. You would think in this modern age we would be able to detect earthquakes sooner and have enough time to evacuate an area. +This is a very sad article. Being of of the first female fighter pilots must have given her and her family great honor. I think that there should be more training for all pilots who deal in these acrobatic flying routines. I also think that women have just as much of a right to become a fighter pilot as men. +The article that I just read was about the ongoing violence and fighting between Kenya and South Sudan. The words in the article really struck a nerve with me. It made me cry. There have been thousands of people who have lost their lives during this argument. It makes me want to reach out and help in any way possible. The fighting needs to stop and peace needs to be restored between these two nations. +Josh, I just read about the Calais refugee camp that was set up in France to house the people from Syria that the maniac killing his own people drove away. The problem with all of this is the country of Syria must come to a place where they take back what has been taken from them. But you know why they can't? The citizens were not allowed to be armed and any weapons they have now have been supplied by us and the allies. Perfect example as to why our founders wrote the second amendment. +I just read about all kinds of rioting going on in Ethiopia. It's really a shame what is going on over there. This is an area which has hopes of dramatic infrastructure improvement and new jobs. Many people and organizations have invested a lot of money and now have to wonder whether they should continue to invest in an area which may be destroyed by rioters. It's so sad to hear about these beautiful farms and nurseries just being gutted and destroyed. The farms now have all these workers and equipment with nothing to do. The farms are gone. It sounded as if some of the elders in the community tried to calm things down, and it worked in some areas, but other areas just raged on with riots and destruction. Can't these people see that they are ruining their own future? +isis is now one of the major terrorists group operating in iraq . the Iraqi security forces are in constant war with it . isis have killed around 800 ppl in Iraqi city of Mosul and using 1000s of civilian as human shield to stop Iraqi forces advance and it make me worried that when it going to stop . we eliminate one group and another one pop up . this is a major concern for the world +This is yet another tragedy in need of our justice! This time we have a plane crash that had killed some very important polish people. This has recently come under investigation for foul play. These people need justice in their case and we should support any justice that will bring the truth out for these unfortunate people! +All in all the EU have to help the refugees. We have to treat people like we like to be treated. If there were a war here we also would be flee. We are afraid for violet’s so they otherwise they would say there. If they are in the EU we have to make sure there are no arguments , so we can still have our peaceful society. And I am sure that we have one thing in comment, we all live on the earth. +I feel that it is a common thing to have intentions misplaced. The article seems to discuss what the difference is between perception versus reality. I love to understand what part of reality I can dissect to understand how I can do better myself. For example if a family member tells me that something does not look right on my body I usually take it off. For example I had a bad weave on my head one time and I took it off after church and never wore it again. I love to always look my best and if I don't I will usually correct the situation. The perception of fantasy is often when people get in trouble because they perceive it as reality. I have always received constructive criticism from my parents so that I can also distinguish the difference as well. Parents should often be the critic ok. +Take a look at this story that I found online. It's about forest fires being spread out over a couple of different states, pretty interesting. I know that I sent you the pictures of what was happening around here, but you might be also interested in reading this story about how it is happening all over the place. +It is sad that this is what is needed to get some people to pay attention to the immense damage that has been and is continuing to be done by global warming. Something should not have to affect you in order for it to matter. There are things that are a lot more important than your coffee fix. For instance, the people-like the people in the story-whose livelihoods are being put in danger because of global warming. +I just read an article about the presidential campaign trail that focused on how sexist one of the candidates is. It's important that these issues are brought up, especially when it's on a national stage like this. I'm glad to hear people are publicly voicing their concerns and even revealing the troubling incidents they went through involving sexism. I hope after this political race is over, we can all reflect and learn to treat each other better. +The situation in Delhi is very much a product of a 3rd world country trying to modernize. the use of fossil fuels and lack of sanitation has led to this country having intense smog problems. This has reached the point where it is harmful to children everyday even in school. Idk when this issue will be resolved but soemoen has to interevene. +Isn't it just a shame the US is no longer the world leader when it comes to handling things like the Somali refugees? We should be in the lead with the repatriation efforts to help these poor people. Now, I know that we can't help every person in every nation but we should really be taking the international lead on issues like this. +Since Trump became president it has been clear that people who are racist, misogynist, and sexist people have been hiding, probably because society overall expresses these things as a bad thing. But since they see a leader that is like them, it gives them fuel to be bad people in public and even are proud of it. I just hate Trump and everything about him as well as his supporters. +Tigers are truly majestic creatures, and it's a shame that their numbers are decreasing. India cannot fight this battle on its own. The poachers sell to international buyers, so the governments of other countries should step in and help the Indian people combat these poachers. There should be a negative stigma on using any products made with tiger parts so that people would feel ashamed to contribute to this sordid smuggling trade. +And yet the deniers still claim that there is no scientific basis for the claim of human involvement. I bet some of them will latch onto the El Nino contribution to "prove" that it's just the randomness of nature. However, they will fail to understand that it's only a random amplification of the effects that we a directly responsible for by spewing so much CO2 in to the atmosphere. We won't get them to act until people are literally dying in the street. +Not a surprise to see the United States falling further down in the global rankings in yet another category. I think by the time our next Presidential election comes around we will be no longer be considered a destination country but anyone in the know. I don't see why this particular stat isn't a matter of culture though. I haven't met many women who expressed an interest in STEM and most of them didn't even want to talk to people who were into it when I was in college. Now women might be more interested but it still isn't going to be anything approaching equal because the culture doesn't work that way. +Wow! I cannot believe I forgot about the Zika virus! How can we advance as a society to try to grasp a better understanding of this deadly virus? You would think as advanced as human civilization is we would understand more. Pregnant women who get Zika seem to be in the most danger. The effects it can have on the fetus is horrible! It is very scary to know that it can be passed along sexually even if a person was not feeling the symptoms.Africa and Asia seems to really need help fro the rest of the world in fighting this problem! +I always read about these house fires and never think about them again. That is something that I should do less of. Maybe I can find a way to donate time or money for families in tragedies so that they can get back on their feet as soon as possible. This recent reversal of my attitude was because a friend of mine recently had their apartment burn out due to a building fire. +Thinking about the refugee situation around the globe is so disheartening. There are so many people who are only trying to survive who cannot find support anywhere. Those of us in countries with resources really need to start pushing out legislators to accept and support these people, especially when their situations are the result of our own policies. Humans need to look out for each other far more--we should value every life the same, no matter the country of its origin. +A mother pushed a stroller onto an elevator that was not there. The baby dies of injuries and the mother was hurt. The building had over 100 elevator violations but did not stay on top of things to make sure the elevators were working properly. The building neglience caused an infants death. I cant imagine going through something like that, that poor mother. +I really don't care about the article I just read. It didn't make me feel any sort of emotions, but I'm forced to fill in this box. Is boredom an emotion? I felt that while reading that massive wall of text. Stuff like the economy and businesses isn't anything worth feeling emotion over. It's also not even really worth worrying about when it's not something you can actually do anything about yourself. +This is just part of the troubling times we live in. There is a monster in the white House that a majority of the people did not elect and the Russian government had a hand in coming to power. He is breaking laws everyday and has the most corrupt cabinet in my lifetime. His agenda is simply to cause chaos and to profit off this as much as possible. The sooner this failed experiment is over the better of the nation will be. The only hope is that he doesnt start a nuclear war and that he will eventually be tried and brought to justice for his numerous crimes. +I’m glad that I don’t work at Well’s Fargo. To think that they would push their employees to the brink of suicide and having mental health issues is totally ridiculous. And all in the name of the almighty dollar. I wish companies cared more for their employees, than their bottom line. I have worked for a company for over 30 years and in the early years, the company cared about its employees. They treated us like family. The last ten or fifteen years have been so difficult. They could care less about their loyal employees. They treat us like dirt. All they care about is how much money they can make, never caring about how much stress they are putting on their workers. There has got to be a better way. I’m so glad I will be retiring in another year or so. I don’t think I could st +I reallly think this is quite sad. Poor people have the same sort of problems all over the world. I think this is because the rich are always keeping people down. I think that they pretend like everything is a racial struggle, but I suspect that the problems we face are largely because the rich are filthy rich and they have no empathy for the rest of us. +This article is quite disturbing in the way that Americans act towards one another. The display of the Confederate flag means different things for different Americans all over the country and it kind of makes me sad with the way people treat one another. Being an American means uniting as one, not fighting over a flag or the real issue, legal citizens who may not be white. +Hey have you heard about the polar bears? This global warming thing is going to take over there home land so fast. They will not be able to out swim the things that will b more of a chance at getting them because of whats happening right now. We have to help save the polar bears. Its been pretty terrible how the goverment and companoes just dont care to help save these animals. +Another doom and gloom article about Trump. Not surprising, ethics and truth passed out of journalism long ago. Trump is not against renewable power, he just wants a free market and he is right. The free market is the only way you will get renewables to the efficiency that they need to go global and push carbon out. If you coddle them they will get fat and lazy and never move forward. The Paris treaty was a push toward globalism and a boon for the liberals who dream of an elite class ruling the world. +This story makes me feel upset and aggravated because I hate that it is so easy to obtain guns in this country. I truly believe that there is no reason for anyone to have a gun and wish that the laws would change to make this the case, so I always feel frustrated reading about random shootings. I hate that we are subject to everyone else's violent whims as long as they can easily purchase a gun, so that makes me feel angry and also worried. I also feel sort of exhausted, since this happens in the news so much it just feels like yet another shooting story I have to be aware of, it's tiring. +How could this guy been shot several times, yet managed to make it to the hospital and tell what happened to him. It would seem like he would be in critical condition if that's the case. Sounds very suspicious. And for what reason would a random person just be blindly shooting in a night club. The reporters need to get down to what really happened there. +Did you see that Leonard Cohen passed away? You know, the guy who made the Hallelujah song. Poor guy passed away after suffering an injury but from what I hear he passed away in his sleep and he didn't suffer at all which is really good. It really makes you think that if he would of went to the hospital he might actually still be alive. Just make sure you get yourself checked if you ever hurt yourself. +A priest was abducted and tortured in Mexico. Authorities think it was a robbery but the church is convinced it was due to him being a human rights activist. It sucks that it happened but in all fairness Mexico is a shit hole and well known for cartel actions such as this. How many of your peers have to get abducted and killed or tortured before you learn to shut the fuck up or get the fuck out? In the end nobody but themselves to blame. +Wow! I didn;t know tigers were in such trouble! This makes me want to do more research and donate to the National Tiger Conservation Authority. We must protect these animals! It is so disturbing that poaching is still so problematic in today's society. I have heard of poaching of other animals, but rarely about tigers. I hope something can be done, and soon, to help tigers. +Did you see where there was a buss crash on the highway this morning? I don't think anyone got badly hurt, but it just shows you how quickly things can go from good to bad. I hope the one at fault wasn't doing something stupid like texting while they were driving! I can't stand those people! Well, however it happened, I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt or killed. +Trump is a fool. Climate change is real and it's starting to effect us directly. I wonder when he'll realize we have to do something. How much does it take? Maybe his golf curse has to catch fire just like the forests. This doesn't only effect us but the whole world and the life on it. United States needs to take action before it's too late. +Well nothing about this article was suprising to me. I'm sure it wasn't to you either. We've talked before about how much politicians like to brag, but there's very little to back up the whole "America is the greatest country in the world" thing. Interesting that South Korea has the most patents per people though. +This is also good. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, were "deeply saddened" by the passing of Reno, calling her "an extraordinary public servant who dedicated her life to advancing justice, equality, and innovations in criminal justice that would save and lift lives." "As Attorney General for all eight years of my Presidency, Janet worked tirelessly to make our communities safer, protect the vulnerable, and to strike the right balance between seeking justice and avoiding abuse of power," Clinton said in the statement, listing some of her top accomplishments. +So when I was a kid, the big thing I used to remember was reading about the poachers in Africa grinding down animal parts to then put into powder for men to snort to work like viagra. Today apparently those guys are going even further. They are hunting everything and anything just to make a profit. Not a surprise +I'm deeply disturbed to hear about actions being taking that could potentially curtail black Americans' ability to vote. The GOP has obviously been working to sabotage voting of minorities because they see them as a threat since they do not traditionally vote for Republican candidates. This needs to stop. +wow its just amazing to me how many countries look the other way while civilians are being killed or injured . Over 300 killed and over 400 injured in less then one month . There is no excuse for this . There is nothing on earth that should make this ok . I am sad for them . SO many lives are affected when will it stop? +Things are really heating up i dont know how much longer we can keep things up like this. if we can help they should tell us clearly how we can help out so that the temperature doesnt get too high. if it gets too hot then things will be really messed up for us and our childrens futures will be in danger +Hi mike, I hope you are. It's been hard to have these days over there when you need me here, my friend. I hope that you are taking care of all the dangers that you are going through, that you do it for us, for your people, your country but leaving aside all that you must teach in you and your family that are waiting for you here I hope you are well and can see you soon mike +I just read about the Elephants being killed for their ivory. It is such a sad thing that these elephants can't be protected by all nations. I think we should try to do more. Maybe do some research and see if we can help. I would sure hate to see elephants disappear and that is the way things are going right now. It would be a shame to lose these beautiful animals, just because of ivory. +When is the world going to realize that they need to start charging bullies with murder when kids kill themselves? Seriously, if you torture someone emotionally, how is that different from doing it physically? It's not. You're doing an insane amount of damage to someone's psyche, enough for them to commit suicide. Prosecute the kids bullying as adults, and start punishing these kids harshly enough to deter them from doing it ever again. Any adults aware and ignoring it? Charge them as accomplices to murder. +I just read a story about the tragic deaths that occurred as a result of the terrorist group in 2015 in Paris. It was gruesome to hear one man's account of the story. He said the shootings went on for 3 hours, and when stopped, it was only so they could load more ammunition and fire more. I couldn't help but think about the people out in the crowd who where hit and killed. It's disturbing just imagining that scene and the terror. And then one man, George Salines, got a call no one would want. That his daughter was among the 130 killed. The loss has affected his whole life, he left his job and everything. In one moment, anyone can be affected by severe tragedy. +I read an article about using the Internet and computers in the classroom, and how it affects kids. The article mainly talked about E-rate, a government program to subsidize the Internet and broadband access. It said that most classrooms are now connected, but the millions of dollars are still being spent. The program seemed to be wasting a lot of money and wasn't showing good results. I agree that just buying computers and being on the Internet doesn't guarantee that kids are receiving a good education. +It looks like Wells Fargo was illegally confiscating cars of service members to pay off debts, repossessing them. This is a terrible situation and thing to do, I can't imagine having my car repossessed, and how awful that must be on so many levels. Not having your car, having to watch them take it away, and everything. +Thinking of the earthquakes, makes me think of the issue on global warming and climate change. It seems like we are having more and more natural disasters. This leads you to think of the cause and how climate change had to be happening. I could not imagine. Shows you to be grateful, you never know what could happen. Something are just out of your control. +You know powerbars and protein bars? Well I just read about the next step called colon cleanse bars. No its not a diet food. Supposedly you eat it to "prep" your stomach for a colonoscopy. Well I bet you anything that in a week after production, every model and Hollywood actress starts popping these things as a diet pill +The political divide in this country has only gotten worse over the years. Trump in particular has allow a rather nasty aspect of American society to rise to the surface and be open about their nastiness. This means that people on opposite political spectrum cannot see eye-to-eye at all. This makes compromise even worse and less likely to succeed. +We should really do more for our veterans who come back with traumatic experiences. They do so much for the country, but they barely get the care they need when they come back. How rude of our president to make little of their situation. He has never and will never be their own shoes. He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth with no pity for anyone. +I can't begin to imagine going through that night. The recollection from the survivor is horrifying. I cannot fathom the thoughts and emotions of those who were there trapped for hours. The loss of so many makes it easier to become desensitized to it, but hearing the individual stories makes it so real and sad. +Russia claims bombed UN aid convoy was 'escorted by terrorists A UN aid convoy that was bombed on Monday night was escorted by a "terrorists", Russia has claimed in response to accusations it was behind the deadly attacks. Moscow has denied hitting the UN convoy, which was bombed as it delivered food aid to opposition-held parts of Aleppo on Monday night, minutes after the military declared the end of a ceasefire. The strikes, carried out by either Syrian or allied Russian warplanes, hit Syrian Red Crescent trucks as staff members were unloading aid in Urem al-Kubra in Aleppo province. More than a dozen were killed including Omar Barakat, the organisation’s director. Pictures shared by activists showed burned bodies next to a UNHCR badge. Russia's defence ministry relea +In my opinion, the girl mentioned in the article is just plain stupid. She shouldn't be taking selfies in the first place while driving, not only to mention that she was topless just so her boyfriend could get a look at "the goods." While you're driving, you should be paying attention and not playing on your cell phone because you're putting the lives of others at risk. +The modeling industry is very different than the rest of the world it seems. I read an article that male models, even the best ones, are paid a fraction of what female models earn. I guess this is because a lot more money is spent by woman in the fashion and personal products industry. The article says more men are grooming themselves and it's starting to bring wages for male models slowly up. I guess that's just business. +Now a days crime rate increased and now no safe for Muslim religion on USA, the american's doing something fishy and wanted. on New York city A Muslim woman’s clothing was set on fire while she walked down New York City’s Fifth Avenue, the police suspected a man who is standing with lighter and who ran away. +This is a sad article. Some many things are unknown for those born outside the country. It is always unfair that others are able to get deported after spending most of their lives in the USA, especially those that came at a very early age. Also US parents that adopt children should be granted us citizenship. +I can't believe what a nuisance gold fish can be. The fact that they can cause so much damage to an environment and have no natural predators is crazy. It makes you second guess flushing the fish down the toilet as it may survive. It's hard to believe that they get so big since they are usually just little fish in a small tank. Also it's weird that they travel so far considering we usually just see them swimming in circles. +I'm just in shock at what I read. All these migrants attempting to make a better life for themselves ironically met an untimely and unexpected end. We must think about all these poor people who are forced to flee and find better lives. We must learn to accept them instead of having them forced to survive. +I had no idea that Zika was discovered in 1947 and that there was an outbreak in 2007. As far as I knew, it was only the very recent outbreak that Zika was discovered. How wrong I was. It was actually really heartening to read this, because I want to start a family in the next few years and I was practically twitching with anxiety. I tend to get bitten by a ton of mosquitoes every summer no matter what I do while my husband doesn't get bit at all. And what about global climate change pushing things like this further north? It is good to know that it comes in and out of viral "fashion" and that there is a herd immunity aspect to it. Maybe I can put down the mosquito shotgun for now and aim for a slightly stronger spray for my clothing. +I'm glad that she let her customers know right away, that was very responsible of her. There's so many scammers out there and people who try to rip people off you can never be too careful. I'm always real careful when I order anything on the internet checking reviews and everything because I've been ripped off before. I ordered a handbag and it wasn't anything like it was perceived to be online. +So sad. Why is it that the social media giants can quickly shut down conservative speech, but cannot get a handle on these "suicide groups"? Mental health needs to be taken more seriously in this country or any country. With mental health not covered by a lot of insurance policies, suicide and depression will continue to be problems. I feel for these kids. I know what it feels like to feel depressed and hopeless. But anyone that preys on kids in these conditions needs to go to jail. It infuriates me. +Trump is a completely terrible president. Don't you agree? He's done nothing for the country, it's no wonder that he's gone down so far in the polls. anyone who supports him better comment so I can unfriend you right now. It's ridiculous. If you support him, you support racism, homophobia, xenophobia, divisiveness, and hate. +People love to go and see animals and experience them in the wild, especially in their natural habitats. You have to stop and think how this can be affecting these said animals. Public access to wild animals in their natural environment can drop birth rates and even cause death to the animals. They can become endangered and some people even go as far as to hunt them. +Global warming is real. The effects that is having on the polar bears will soon have the same effects on us. The research is showing that the bears are having shorter seasons of breeding and hunting. The ice is melting at a constant rate, but there is already a 7 to 9 day shift on the b time that they spend on the ice. They do most of their hunting on the ice and that how to meet their mates, so it is very important to them. It may not seem important to you yet, but as the Ice melts it will not only hurt the bears it will hurt you too. Rising sea level will hurt people like you that live in coastal areas. I hope you change your mind on how you feel about global warming and the melting of the ice. Our actions may have an affect on the polar bears and I believe we should think about it. +After reading this article on some of the federal prisons, I am extremely upset about the treatment of prisoners in these facilities. The way that the guards are treating the prisoners are literally inhumane. I understand that the prisoners are convicts and felons and really deserve to be place in prison as their punishment, but there needs to be accountability for the actions of the guards mistreating them and basically treating them like animals. Prisons are about rehabilitation or at least they should be, but in this article with the countless reports from prisoners about very distressing and disturbing situations I can't fathom to understand what goes on in the minds of these guards running the prisons. We seriously need to do something about these conditions. +I still don't like Kim Jong-un, but he may be starting to realize that being cooperative and living peacefully is a better way of living and leading, rather than the aggressive, threatening leader he is trying to show us in the past. We may never know his real motives, but as long as North Korea cooperates and be a productive nation, then a lot of other countries will help them in times of need. +My amazement with the acts of random humans never ceases. I often question how it is that I, another random human in this mixed up shit-hole we call "Planet Earth", can have unlimited empathy (to the level that I won't even squash a bug) and other people will go out of their way to run over an animal crossing the road. Humans can be rather sadistic and disgusting individuals. Every single day of my life I hear of some crazy story about someone beating something to death. +I am shocked and saddened by this. What a sad and terrible tragedy. I feel so sorry for all the victims and those affected by this event. I can't even imagine how devastating this must be for them. What an incredible catastrophe. My thoughts and prayers and best wishes go out for all the many people affected by this tragic catastrophe. I hope that everyone stays safe for the foreseeable future. I am still in shock. +This situation I read about concerning refugees fleeing to Mediterranean countries such as Greece and Italy is sad and concerns me. Clearly the conditions in their native countries have gotten to be so unbearable that they are willing to risk their own and their families' lives to try for a different life in another country, with no guarantee that life there would be an improvement. Its difficult to understand. Life must be so terrible in these countries due to horrendous governance, which I suppose is something difficult for the typical American to picture. I'm glad that we live in a country where there are relative freedoms and the individual and his or her family can live independently and get their needs met and wants. Living in fear is no way to live. +Wells Fargo has seem to hit an all time low is the company satisfaction and moral. The super giant bank seems like it does not care about the well being of its employees mental health. Mental health in the work place is very important for a long and energetic life. It seem like this bank doesn't even care. Employees have noted that there have been thought of suicide and hurting themselves as a result or the work load. +All of you know that I love birds. This article was hard for me to read because of that. Wind turbines are killing a lot of birds, including eagles. It's really very sad. It makes me feel awful. I am all for wind turbines and renewable sources of energy because of global warming and coal, but this is awful. I don't want these poor birds to die like this. Read this article and you'll see why. +You know, the world has progressed so far in the last few hundreds years, that it is slight off kilter that we allow the disappearance of goods and services to ensue. Is it always the fault of big business and government to allow things to go wrong as the case with diseases coconut and the potential that they cannot be saved. Are we not smart enough to ensure that before something disappears from the face of the earth, that we find a way to correct it, protect it, live with it. What happens when we run out of coconuts. Nothing bad will happen but we need not exploit things just cause we can. +I don't know if you ever owned or read a copy of National Geographic magazine but there is something interesting that has occurred in the news lately. It appears that the little Afghan girl, who was made famous on one of their covers, was arrested for trying to cross into Pakistan. She was trying to enter as an unregistered immigrant instead of a refugee. The Pakistan government wants to have her arrested. I mean afterall, she's just trying to do what's best for herself by escaping a land that is overrun with various terrorist groups and warring clans. I'm not sure if even the UN can provide her the assistance she needs. What it really comes down to is a matter of trying to get out of a bad situation in favor of one that is much more promising. I really think this is unfair to me. +Hey, I think that you should check out this article. I feel bad for the citizens down in Mexico City and South America. They are going through some troubled times and America is barely doing anything to help out with their situation. Those children do not deserve the life they are going through at the moment and I believe that we should do something to make them feel like they are proud to be apart of their country. +Global warming is an issue that has been brewing for some time and seems to be getting torn in all directions as it is not a grey issue but a black and white issue meaning it is either happening or it is not. It is hard to see which side has the more valid argument over the other since everyone involved is so passionate about their side of it all. +I bring you sad news today, my friend. A male wolf member of the Huckleberry pack has been slaughtered. How can they do this without consequences? This event happened in Montana. I have heard similar stories in that region of wolves being gunned down, especially from helicopters. It makes my heart feel heavy. I know you will feel the same way. I am strongly considering giving a donation to the Center for Biological Diversity because they are fighting on behalf of wolves to stop this murder. It was so cruel because the male was simply wandering for a mate. He didn't deserve what happened. +No need to read this article for my fellow animal lovers. Its just sad and kinda infuriating. People are just worthless shits. There really isnt much else to say about this. It was a preventable accident that didnt have to happen but did anyway because of people's thoughtlessness and carelessness and probably for fucking financial reasons as well. +Drunk driver I’m guessing. It is horrible. I hope he rots in jail. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers. It’s not fair that he gets to live. He took the lives of a mother and her children. I can’t imagine what I would do if that happened to my family. Life is so precious. It can be taken away so fast and so randomly. +I certainly feel bad for people having to live in such horrible conditions. However, I also feel bad for the regions that these refugees are going to. It has to be a huge strain on these countries to accept large numbers of homeless that will just depress their economy. It is a tough situation and I can see both sides of it. +I don't understand what I read here. The students were hijacking buses? What the hell? Regardless, the local police should not have turned them over to a drug cartel. I'm sure they are probably dead by now, but I support the family finding out what happened and get justice. They were kids, they didn't deserve to be killed for this. +I have not heard of this story, but wanted to see if you knew anything about it. I know we were talking the other day about being worried about getting stuck in a situation like this because of all the recent shootings. I think this story was a real eye opener for me, because it shows just how easy something like this happening would be. I feel that what you said about mental health and paying more attention to the youth is really another central point to this story. This story made me think even more about owning a gun and having a open carry permit to keep safe and be able to protect my loved ones and family. +Hello, I have just read this article and have to say that it was a very good and interesting read. It is about the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and they discuss how smoking should be banned in all parks, zoos, and playgrounds to reduce the chances of children growing up thinking that using cigarettes is normal. I can see why some might say that this is the last step before criminalization of the product and consumer. +Talking about Donald Trump is so depressing at this point. I wish that article had a little more about climate change in it, which seems to be the current biggest actual crisis of his presidency, but for some reason (horrifyingly) that topic divides people.I want to hear from people who have voted for him and who's minds have changed. +The research team from Australia’s University of Queensland said the Earth has lost nearly 1.3 million square miles of wilderness. They’ve defined wilderness as an area with no human development. Dr. James Watson of the University of Queensland in Australia said globally important wilderness areas are completely ignored in environmental policy, and much has been paid to the loss of species. Without any policies to protect them, they are “falling victim to widespread development,” he added. Dr. Watson also revealed that humanity has one to two decades to turn things around. To date, the world has a total of 30.1 million km2, or around 20 percent of the world’s land area, that remain as wilderness, with the majority being located in countries in North America, North Asia, Australia and Nort +It's interesting that Hughes was denied entrance at first - he had claimed that Muslim guards worked with the terrorists, but later retracted that and apologized. Might have been a bigoted knee jerk reaction. It is nice that these bands came back to honor those lost in the attack. I bet it was very emotional to be there. +I dont really have feeling towards the article i just read. This article did not really interest me in the slightest. On the other hand i do feel like any one that is associated with bin laden or that any one that is as sympathizer or a terrorist should be indicted and charged with acts of terrorism. +I just recently read an article about the drought out in the West. I had heard about the lack of water supply in California but I hadn't heard anything at all about the suffering in Nevada also. It seems that lots of Nevadians, especially the Native Americans who own land there are in trouble from the lack of water. With everything dying, it is difficult for them to keep animals alive. Is it also causing problems in families. Who would think that lack of water would be the cause of violence, abuse, and neglect. Such a sad article. +Hundreds of people marched through the city, disrupting traffic and spray-painting graffiti. Authorities reported instances of vandalism and assault during a rally that organizers had billed as peaceful earlier in the day. In other parts of the country, spirited demonstrations on college campuses and peaceful marches along downtown streets have taken place since Wednesday. –– ADVERTISEMENT –– A mainly peaceful protest by about 3,000 people ended in Los Angeles early Saturday with about 200 arrests for failure to disperse after police broke up the lingering demonstration. Hundreds joined a Friday afternoon “love rally” in Washington Square Park in Manhattan. +Why do people think they can just illegally enter a country? The article sounds so sympathetic and bias. Why do people act like coming here illegally is not breaking a law? "They haven't broken any laws!" Yes, they have. You break the law when you enter illegally! What the fuck! And you got Liberal scholars defending immigrants, repeating that nonsense of, "They don't break any laws!" What the fuck? As a Mexican, I am appalled by other Mexicans defending this nonsense and seeing Mexico encourage this illegal immigration shit. Mexico needs to fix itself so that it can house people that won't want to run away from it. Fuck Mexico, they have ruined a lot of lives and they are not held responsible. Quit being politically correct about Mexico. Hold them accountable. +To make sure that others are becoming a known way with how others are going to perform, with how others are going to be and how the people are being shown with how they're being done. To make sure that I can be done with how it can be done with how it can't be done. It has to be with how others are doing and making sure that has a lot of things, which make others understand with how their message and be shown and be helped. +Hey, did you read this article? South Korea always seems to have something going on. 26 were hospitalized and 29 were treated at the scene. It seems like more and more often this kind of thing is happening. There has to be a better way of getting points across without injuries. It's crazy and really unnecessary to cause harm for this. +Well I just read this ridiculously long article about someone who would take vacations with their family I think. The person just talked about some of their trips, and talked about how vacations and travel in general can expand you as a person. I agree with this claim, and wish traveling could be a little cheaper. +I just read a really, really long article about the outrageous use of torture by our government during the never-ending, so-called "War on Terror." Our tax dollars have been used to torture detainees (some of them who have been proven to be entirely innocent) which is a direct violation of international law and the US Constitution. Those who suffered this brutal treatment are now experiencing long term physical and psychological problems. The government has stonewalled and tried to keep the details classified. +Since you moved to Anchorage, I’m sure you’ve been aware of all the unsolved homicides that have occurred. Just wanted to say “stay safe”. Hopefully, that guy that shot at the police officer the other day and whose gun they say was used in some of those unsolved cases, was the killer. If so, his reign of terror is over. How sad that those people died for what appears to be just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I just don’t understand how someone can take the life of another unless their own life is being threatened. Who knows though? The killer could be mentally ill and think that perfect strangers ARE threatening them! Anyway, keep your eyes open and be careful! +Okay, I live by the Arkansas River so I know about snapping turtles. All this guy had to do is move to another spot and the turtle was not going to chase him down. I'm sure the guy must have been near a nest or something if the turtle tried to attack. Still, should he be charged with a felony? My Granny Jones used to make turtle soup out of the snappers they fished out of her creek. I guess the difference is he wasn't killing the turtle for food...But, a felony? +It's a little bit troubling that these teachers would be forced to leave because of political tension. It's not right that they would lose their jobs and their homes. There should be another way to resolve this issue. It's good that people are protesting this and they should be. Teachers play such a huge role and it will not be good for the students to be in the middle of this. +Passing this article along to you because I know you will think this is absurd. Gay men are not being allowed to donate blood to the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. Isn't that crazy! Apparently, outdated rules put them at high risk for HIV and they can not donate for fear of spreading HIV. This is super discriminatory as HIV is not just found in gay men. People instead should be appropriately tested for HIV. +I just read a very sad article on the elderly that are stuck in Aleppo, Syria due to the war there. Apparently, 200,000 people are unable to get out due to the government's siege of the area. There is a decreased access to food and resources for long term medical conditions are scarce. The elderly are having to sacrifice their well-being for the well-being of their children and grandchildren. The war needs to come to an end soon, before there is more suffering by the people of Syria. +I can not blame people for leaving. Living in an area that is prone to natural disasters, like an area that is below sea level and near a coast, is a bad idea. It is bad for the government of Louisiana, but you can't blame these people for getting out. And, of course, there is nothing that they can do to stop them. +Trump refuses to take a salary from the government for being president. Well he is rich so $400,000 is probably nothing to him. Its saving the government but that would probably be the only smart move hes made since hes been in the white house period. Im not a Trump supporter but I like the idea that he chose to save the government money. +Although coal kils I did learn that coal is important for baseload energy generation, coal plants are safe and easy to maintain and the fuel can easily be transported and the residue disposed of. Coal (with varying qualities) is an abundant resource, available to many countries within their borders. Uranium on the other hand requires a lot more work and safety precautions before reaching a point where it can be used as nuclear fuel.India is unfortunate as usual to be on the short end of the stick. +To show with how it can be done and understanding with how others are making sure that I'm not making sure, which of these things are becoming worse and how it's not being told with how the private message isn't being shown. I believe that it can't be how my friend is, because it's just not important and with it being bad, it's just not really good. +I really like Kate and she is an amazing actress. It sucks that she and her husband after so many years have decided to call it quits. America has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, which makes me feel that love is harder to attain today. Although I am a hopeless romantic and I feel that not every coupling has to be condemned to such a fate as Kate, Len and most Americans have to endure. +Just came across an article that involves shootings and people being killed. The story is about a white person in his 50's if I am not mistaking that was bothered by the loud music that was playing in a Durango by some black teenagers at a gas station in Florida. There was an argument regarding the music and some exchange of words. The white guy shot the 17 year old black kid 6 times. He was convicted for life with the possibility of parole after 2 years. He was denied. These situations are complicated and they are happening quite often lately. There should be a limit on many things, and one of them should be the guns. There should be a stricter gun control . +how are you drake I hope you are enjoying your new life and your stay in new york, I hope you enjoy this new stage of your life now that you are working as a journalist I hope to see you soon in a big television network or read your articles in the biggest national newspapers I hope it's good for you, my friend, see you later and take good care of yourself +Im shocked at the possibility, and now at the direct knowledge that the opiate crisis in america not only affects older people (adults), but also very young children as well. Opiate overdoses are sad and brutal but the same thing for a child stirs shock and sadness within me to think of the reasons it occurs and that could certainly be prevented. +There has been uprisings in Ethiopia. Looks like many people aren't happy with the industrialization and foreign investments taking place there. People had axes and sounded like a pretty serious event that may continue. Foreign investors are taking notice and may rethink their investments there or in the future. Really don't think of foreign investments in ethipoia but I guess there is. +This is a terrible story, but we can't go so far as to blame an entire religion for the actions of some. We hope what happened to Paris never happens again, but we simply need a bit more security and people with their eyes open - not attitudes against an entire religion or people. Consider these unfortunate ways of rallying countries behind one cause of peace. +Polar bears deserve the respect they deserve. They do not deserve to be treated the way they are now. There's no reason to kill these animals and it disgusts me that humans exist just to cause harm to them. I hope one day there's a collective effort to stop the growing genocide of these gentle and humble creatures. +What a legend, am I right friend. I have never really got into Lenoard Cohan much but I realize hard work when I see it. This man is a legend in his own rights. Books, poetry books while still an undergraduate. This man did it all. Did you know he was afraid to sing really and hated being in front of all the people at first but obviously he got over it eventually. That makes him so relatable towards me. I feel pretty sympathetic towards the family, they lost a great man. I am glad he made so much music cause his stuff will live on forever. Thats why I wanted to be a rockstar, to live on after I die. +i was reading about this article and got caught up in it because of the main topic when it had started, it began talking about all of these massive shootings that have been going on around the country. i felt like that was the main idea and discussing the murders in the united states i feel like they could have posted the differences between the states and other countries around the world as well. its free writing but i think it makes americans look bad. +i was reading about a dad who lost his daughter in the Charlie Hedbo attacks in Paris. it was touching. i mean, it was dark, him talking about losing her and those feeling, as well as those of other people who lived it. but his story touched me. he was talking about all the notes he recieved and how there was such an outpouring. he wrote a book, and he's healing. nice to see theres some form of recovery after something so awful +Getting old is sad. I hope they pull through. But, many people never reach 86. So, I can't feel too bad for them. They also probably lived a life many of us can only dream about. This might sound wrong, but I will probably forget about this in 5 minutes. Life goes on. I've already spent more time thinking about them than they will ever think about me. +you will not believe the crazy article i just read. Let me tell you about it. The article was about a man who had killed himself after killing his wife and the main thing that was being questioned was "why did he have to die?" What??? I don't understand why they aren't looking into why he killed his wife since they don't know. Its pretty easy to speculate why he killed himself. I just don't even know what to think about this article. +Hello Friend. How are you? How is your family? We had some time without contact, we should avoid that and always communicate. Of sure where you live this that I am going to say to you is already news but, friend, you must take care of you and your family please. I do not know if you found out but I read in a digital online newspaper samples of violence in Philadelphia, I could not get out of my head that you live in that place. Apparently a person who was armed shot in the stomach to an elderly man and another person who was accompanying him. One of the reports I've heard from the police is that the crime weapon has not been found, which makes me suppose that until now the police have no idea who was, and neither the clues to catch the bad guy. The police do not know anything so it means t +Please hug your loved ones because they may be gone at any moments of time. If you were in an argument with any of them please reconsider what has happened in the past and let it go. Life is short and we all have only one life to live on this planet. We should all cherish each other and enjoy life to the fullest. +This is terrible and really solidifies everything I feel about the racially tense issues going on in america right now that are just fueled by our current president. No one should ever have to be a victim of a senseless act only because of the type of person they are. We are all equal no matter our religion race anything. We need to really open our eyes up and realize there needs to be more love in the world. +It seems like the premises of this arguement is so shaky. Just because Russia and Poland may have had tensions for a while, it does not justify that they assassinated the guy. I mean, if everyone just assumex their enemy is the result of their misfortune, they will just be creating false tension with no real purpose. I understand that he is upset for their lost, and that this was avoidable from bad weather and pilot control, but still. +First of all, I guess I'm being too naive in my thinking that the KKK no longer existed. Also, I cannot see that this had anything to do with Trump, himself, but more some radical group trying to tie themselves to the Trump Campaign to make him look bad. I would not be surprised if this was "fake news" drummed up by the Democratic party in order to smear Trump. +I really feel bad for the Yemeni people. They were already unfortunate enough before this civil unrest. Now it has gotten worse and too many people are dying. I really pray that there is some order and that peace comes to this country. I feel for the family members of the the sick, wounded, and dead. +This is totally unsurpising for the UAE. The laws are usually lenient in these extreme cases though, which makes this occurence a strange one. There is some ulterior political motive at work here. This woman's misfortune is being used to advance some goal most likely. I wonder what they're up to. What do you think? +I just read an article that outlines what Obama did to help the "poor" compared to what Trump wants to do to take these things away. Obviously, the poor are going to have a much harder time under Trump's administration. I think it goes without saying that I hate this guy and I can't believe he is our president. I am counting the days til the next presidential election. If these idiots vote for him again, well, I won't believe it. Although, I didn't believe he would be voted in in the first place either. It is just sad that our country is taking ten steps way way back voting in this guy. +Mexico is disturbed by our current President Donald J Trump. Their currency Pesos dropped a lot when he was elected. Trump wants to build a wall between the two countries borders as well. The Mexican government seems very apprehensive about our new glorious President. Their economy might drop due to the building of the wall and lowering of all the immigrants trying to get into the U.S. by crossing into our borders. +These type of events of bomb explosions and terrorist threats are extremely dangerous and should be taken very seriously. People are just going around for their day and they don't really know what could happen to them and these type of incidents are very tragic and hurtful. The security measures in the United States should be more careful and should check anyone that is suspicious and make the country a safer place than how it already is. +I felt sad that the turtles are fading because of the habitat temperature rising annually. We, as humans can help I think by trying to not contribute to the increase of Carbon Dioxide consumption, we can stop global warming and try to help t he sea turtles from going extinct and so our children and grandchildren can see them in the future. +Hey, this article really shows how people can be compassionate in even the hardest places to do so. It's really an inspiring thing for them to do to go in and save these animals even in the midst of an ongoing conflict where they could have come to harm, as well as the animals. Also important is the situation in Gaza, and other conflict zones, makes it rather difficult to maintain a humanely run zoo, and have veterinarians on hand in case the animals become ill. +I cannot believe that the women in Trump's base don't understand that they are electing men who continue to ensure that they remain subservient and demeaned. I understand the whole "traditional family" structure, but this is ridiculous. Averting your eyes to abject misogyny because you want to win is appalling and disgusting. I just don't understand. +Ugh another big fight in Edinburgh. The city seems to have all kinds of problems like that. Plus they are kids! Where are the parents when the kids are out there fighting and attacking people in the street. Its just disgusting. I'm just happy that their victim wasn't badly hurt, but unless these kids face consequences they will just do it again and again. I think their parents should be held liable if their kids don't stop acting this way because it is obviously the fault of the parents for failing to take control of their kids. +Seriously, what's wrong with this guy! Who throws an animal to the ground for no reason. What a jerk. I hope the judge throws the book at him. He doesn't necessarily deserve jail time, but I'm thinking a hefty fine as well as many hours of community service. Sea World should file a restraining order from this guy as well. +The story about a woman theat was thinking of places she had been before and the terrorist attacks that had taken place. the thought of being in a place and having to worry about someone trying to shoot or inflict harm upon others is disheartening and makes me not waant to go out in public anymore for fear of my life. +Ugh - can you believe this story? First - why not just go to the doctor? Don't be shy, it's your dick we're talking about. Then, why insert a chopstick SO FAR THAT YOU COULDN"T GET IT OUT. Holy crap, that sounds awful. I am totally shocked to read this and can only imagine the pain - but then again, he did bring it upon himself. +Wow, it is pretty sad to see a happy family be devestated by a preventable cause. I send my prayers out to whomever was in immediate relations with the family. This makes me be more grateful for everyday life because i really don't know when my last day will be. I hope the fire department workers are emotionally well, because i know it can be distressful to see these thinga happen +This is really a moving story and I could see it being motivating for a lot of women. They can realize that anyone can be at risk for cancer. It doesn't matter whether you are a favour actress or an ordinary person. It can be devastating to families and often affects them in many different ways. Such stories should be more accessible to give people hope. +The Chicago district has shutdown about twenty five percent of there public drinking fountains. They have found levels of lead that are great in this area. It is believed that about one out of seven children have levels of lead in their system that the EPA deems too high. After the outbreak in Flint, I can see for their concerns. +It does seem silly that people in committed relationships are still affected by the donating ban, but I can also understand why such a ban was put in place. The trouble with anything is that when you try to protect some people, others rights seem to always be infringed and we're forced to decide which offense is greater and more important. I don't see why someone can't be tested, found to be clean and then give blood but I can understand why especially in an emergency when things can easily get overlooked the ban is a good idea. +What I learned about nature is that they cannot be predicted. Nature can look beautiful in one instance and can kill you in the next. Take a look at this shark incident. poor guy was play a game with some buddies and lost his life for no reason. Today you are here and tomorrow you are gone. Try to live as long as you possibly can before some shit comes along and tries to take it away. +It is so sad to hear about the poor victims of the train derailment. I feel that these types of accidents could be reduced if proper maintenance and planning are administered more carefully. When using mass transit the last thing anyone should be thinking about is "Are we going to die this time". When you travel you want to have fun and you hope for a great time. These types of tragedies should be scrutinized by the governments where it happens frequently. +I think the article is a bit hard to read. It is about the environment and El Nino and how they interact. The article was also about pollution and how the environment is changed by certain chemicals in the air. Because it's a science based article, it's a little hard to understand what the conclusion is. +Oh my god... I can't even imagine the fear those two poor boys must have felt. I can only hope they did not see it coming. How disturbed must one be to see this sort of thing as the only way out, the right thing to do? The pain and loss this family is feeling is probably only compounded due to the conflicting feelings of someone you love committing such an atrocious act on others you love, whose lives were just beginning. Poor babies... I do hope they didn't suffer. It shows that complaints of domestic issues should be taken seriously, by everyone. It states he was under investigation/being sought for domestic violations. How did he even get his hands on those boys? It's so sad. +You have what amounts to a horrible murder case in a rich area of Manhattan. Usually in a case like this police struggle to come up with a single suspect, but in this instance, you have two. There is no lack of evidence either. The police found a tremendous amount of evidence at the scene. Did they collaborate on the murder? If not, which one did it? The police will have a hard time with this one. +Hey! Did you hear about the elephant stuff in Africa? I know you care a lot about the environment so I thought you should see this. There are some countries that are for the poaching of elephants if you can believe it. Some more rural communities say that the animals harm their crops. I've never heard this side of the argument before! I'm not saying I agree with it, but we're over here in America and have a way different perspective on the issues. It's interesting to see how different things are over there. +Man, dont you just worry somtimes about how we got here? Its like I always knew this country which I love so much, was uncover still the most raciest place. The win of Trump just made it so much easier for all his ignorant like mined follows to treat people of color and some women, not at there equal, but as people who dont matter. Its sickens me to think about all they have done to people of color the most. Its like we are in 1960 again. +This is such a sad way for this actor to have to go. He contributed so much to his field, and he deserves a smooth, peaceful exit to life. I really hope that he and his friends and family will be okay. I know that it can be incredibly hard on the family to deal with these types of diseases and physical issues. Wishing them all the best. +Was this really Neo-Nazi fucktards? Or was this a left-wing attempt to incite minorities and drive them to the polls? Why are we not past this crap? Ridiculous. I love a lot of things about being Southern, but this crap drives me nuts. Who does this? Can we bring back the stockade? Tar and feather? +There are no words for how much I ignore Trump and his antics. It has made me numb and lose hope in the whole system. I no longer feel anything loyalty for America or its system. I think it is all a sham and no one should have to feel like that about their own country where they pay taxes to live and work and breathe. +You know I don't do politics and here is the reason..... "Moldovan Presidential Candidate Criticized For Being A Single Woman — And we thought U.S. politics was strange at the moment. Moldovan presidential candidate Maia Sandu isn’t married. And apparently that’s a huge problem for a lot of people, including her country’s leading religious and political figures." The press and political zealots have nothing better to talk about than if a presidential candidate is married. Seriously...if she were a he we would hardly be having the conversation. I would hazard a guess there are much more pressing issues to be debated. +That is nice. Isis is using Chemical Weapons against us now? What is the world coming to, and how much longer are we going to put our military out there for this? Especially now that they are being exposed to chemicals that can burn the skin, and due some bad damage. This doesn't doesn't seem right at all. +Some people are just disturbed. Everyone is going to point to mental illness in something like this, but I fear that when things like this happens, it gets easier and easier just to point at people and call them mentally ill. I fear that eventually we are going to get to the point where you can classify someone as mentally ill by the crowd. Just finger pointing. I feel for these victims and the victims of crimes in the future because we spend too much time making excuses and pointing fingers rather than dealing with the problems at hand. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/val_labels.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/val_labels.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2f7d188c2f21aa700f5c38e5054c9c7f2fe8f5c6 --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/val_labels.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +not empathy +empathy +empathy +empathy +not empathy \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/val_text.txt b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/val_text.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c7aac995b1dbe0dea79ba2e6621f006b1c69711b --- /dev/null +++ b/SOCKET_DATA/empathy#empathy_bin/val_text.txt @@ -0,0 +1,186 @@ +Here is another upsetting article I am sending you about a fire and a family. Funny how this bothers me more than the previous one. The parents and the children got out safe and they didn't die and they didn't get maimed or even scratced as far as I can tell but their two cats died and they lost their home. I am a cat owner and they are always "skitished" and afraid so my first thought is how terrified they must have been and then how awful the children must feel. The horror of imagining your pet burning (though they probably died from smoke). The children will not understand and it will take awhile to forget. +The artical also Trump campaign was unprecedented in its dishonesty; the fact that the lies didn’t exact a political price, that they even resonated with a large bloc of voters, doesn’t make them any less false. No, our inner cities aren’t war zones with record crime. No, we aren’t the highest-taxed nation in the world. No, climate change isn’t a hoax promoted by the Chinese. So if you’re tempted to concede that the alt-right’s vision of the world might have some truth to it, don’t. Lies are lies, no matter how much power backs them up. And once we’re talking about intellectual honesty, +I have come across an article about the civilian casualties in Afghanistan. The war is such a terrible thing. Small children are dying just because of some military operations, i.e. some grown-ups cannot negotiate and agree on resolution of the disagreements. My heart aches as I read that burnt children corpses are tended by mourning relatives. It must be unbearably painful to exist in such pitiful condition in such a poor country and on top of that to lose your children. Life is so unfair and cruel sometimes. +It is known that colonoscopy saves lives, but the preparation can be so unpleasant. I am so happy that researchers are working towards making it more tolerable so that more people will undergo the procedure that can save their lives. I am happy that many different options are available: not all involving colon cleansing (e.g. X-rays), that there is a dietary advice to minimize the discomfort (which food to eat before the procedure), etc. So, the person’s quality of life, their well-being in the short term is taken seriously into account. +I don't understand how people can look at stories like this and still claim that "guns don't kill people, people kill people". If guns were less available and less prevalent in communities prone to violence, then confrontations between people would be far less likely to be lethal. It needs to be more difficult to obtain a firearm in this country. +This was heartbreaking to read. I can't imagine what it's like to leave the house every day not knowing if you will come back, or of living in fear of letting your children leave the house to go to school because they might not make it home. Civilians should not have to fear for their lives when they're just trying to get through the day. It sickens me that the US has participated in strikes that lead to such consequences. +It feels like this is a bit of a lie and them just trying to fear monger and use GMO's. Grass and other things will survive..global warming simply means that we have too much pollution and it affects EVERYTHING. REDUCE POLLUTION and chemicals and we won't have such an issue. This article is simply scientists trying to make us sicker with more chemicals. +I am not sure what I just read. It seems to be about some sports event which I care little about. Sports are not my favorite thing and I don't know how anyone could lose sleep over a sports event. Much more important things in life. I also am not sure how to write such a long talk based on a very short paragraph about sports. +hey my best friend Joseph, how have you been? Do you believe this? There were thousands of females that left work in Iceland and went to Austurvollur square in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik to protest, there is discrimination against women cause they get paid way less then men do. Sucks we are still living a society where woman are not created or treated fairly. +I had to read another article with zero formatting for a survey. This one was about war in the Middle East. It was pretty depressing to read. Religion makes people do such horrible, hateful, stupid things. Apparently kids just pick up explosives, people get their heads blown off, little girls die for no reason. For what? Because someone's imaginary friend in the sky is slightly different from their imaginary friend in the sky? Ridiculous, disgusting. Imagine what these people could have accomplished if they dedicated themselves to knowledge instead. We could be on other planets, we could live for thousands of years or more. But nope, we'd rather hate and murder each other of something as stupid as "God" or "Allah." +We are living in a world that ha problems left and right and sometimes I can't help but to be sad because so many people and animals are suffering.Rivers are drying in some places and ll the fishes are dying while some areas have flash floods that destroy things and kill people.This are end times and am saddened all the time by such issues. +Another Muslim attacking Americans right here at home and you hardly hear or see anything about all these smaller attacks happening to regular people every day all over the country. And of course, they chime right in with excuses and the "don't judge us all" when they do nothing to stop it. They don't even condemn it at all, which really telling. +I think this is a bizarre article. I am not sure if there are air pollution problems in Sweden. This seems to be like an incomplete study. I would be okay if they took the angle that more densely populated areas are likely to trigger mental health issues because that has somewhat been proven in studies in mice. Using air pollution as a reason for mental health issues is weird. +This is such a non-story. Every day people are dealing with divorce and custody issues. This unfortunately has become a common problem. Generally speaking a story like this is sad to read or hear about but these are celebrities. Who cares about their problems? They are no more special than anyone else. People who get caught up in celebrity custody battles need to get a life. +You never know when a disaster could strike, and often it seems that they are the most unexpected and inopportune time. It's especially sad when you don't expect it. A whole family was lost in flames, including their family pet. Their house was turned to rubble and ash. You should always take the time in your day to appreciate everything that you have because you never know what could happen at any moment. Make sure to always be appreciative and caring. +Dear C., It's so weird how little I know about the food I eat. Just read an article about bananas, the kind you buy in a supermarket, which are apparently called Cavendish bananas and are expressly considered "commercial". Apparently, commercial bananas are under threat due to their lack of genetic diversity, making them prone to fungal diseases -- another variation, "Big Mike", went the way of the buffalo in the 60s for the same reason. I am not certain about the suggestion that wild bananas be used to produce new variations, tho. I have a hunch that this would drive the cost of bananas up, which is concerning. It might be possible in someplace like the U.S., where we have money for R & D, but I worry about how this would affect people in poorer countries. +It is sad that they cannot stop poaching. All wildlife deserves an equal chance to live freely on this earth. They should not be hunted down as trophies. I feel pleased that the security forces are trying to protect wildlife. I am also happy that rhino poaching is a crime that will help to protect the noncancerous. It hurts to know they hunt the animals just for their horns. That is sheer cruelty, not because they cannot talk but they do have feelings and should be allowed to live wild and free. +There should be a class action lawsuit against the company putting out dangerous products. They are liable for any injuries they have caused. People should be given restitution for the damages they have suffered. I am glad Kylie is speaking out against this and hopefully she can prevent further injuries to unsuspecting consumers. +Trump and Putin talk about Syria in pacific terms but then Russian warships bomb Aleppo, the bombing said to be for "show." A show that is destroying the city and its people. This is really outrageous. At least we are getting some reporting about it, even though it's just frustrating since we can't really do anything, and Trump is looking the other way. The Syrian problems seem likely to drag down the world for years to come. +My feelings and thoughts regarding the article I just read, is what I want to sit down and compose a brief message to you, in regards to it. I think that the Greenhouse Effect is highly over-rated. I find that the forces that oppose and are against it, has a strong point. As well, those in favor of it is also right, and just to want and seek and work towards ways that would be in the best interest of our lives and our environment. I believe it they would not show any interest, then whatever the harmful effects would only increase. Those in opposition, who feel that it's just an umbrella word to funnel monies in areas that are not needed. That believe Mother Nature and the natural state of how our Earth and it's environment works, are also somewhat correct. I wish each would meet halfway. +I am writing to you regarding the floods in Louisiana, and all the displaced residents. I try to put myself in their position, and wonder what would be my hearts desire as to a viable solution. If it would be more beneficial to relocate to another area, where I can then begin to rebuild my life, and replace that which was destroyed. However there is an underlying disadvantage to Louisiana, as a whole, if in the case so many would want to leave and relocate. The State is in a very difficult and decisive moment, given what they are faced with. Especially in the areas of unemployment, on average when someone is having problems finding gainful employment, they will move to another location for work reasons alone, and nothing to do with a natural disaster as Louisiana is faced with. +I am writing to you in response to an article I just read about Nevada and the water supply. It is of a truth, as the article points out that the news media primarily only follows what happens in California, and not Nevada. Which is the driest State, and in need of attention and assistance. I'm impressed with Verna Brady, 86-year-old resident there. Who cites she would rather move forward, than behind, that she, although an elder with many childhood memories, would rather adapt to what's required for today, than harbor on what use to be. That's a large statement, because when it comes to tribes in America, a lot do not to be displaced, or relocation, creating emotional and psychological problems are the results. However the present state is also causing more abuse factors in the family. +I'm not sure how to feel about this. We really do need to go green, but at what point do we call it green when it kills so many animals? I'm a little aghast, even though I know science needs evidence in numbers, that they are wasting money on figuring out that species that typically migrate are *gasp* being killed in places other than where they are from. Put that money towards developing something that stops the problem. We need green energy like wind and solar, so let's find a solution to make it so that we don't keep losing what we're trying to save. +I recently discovered a few articles that I believed to be quite interesting. The first article talks about how people argue that smoking should be banned in public places so that children would not imitate them. I personally don't have an opinion on this matter; I don't have children and I'm not a smoke either. The second article disturbed me a great deal. It talks about the work of a food inspector and it surprised me how dirty some stores can be. It really makes me wonder if I should continue going to that place near my house that does not have a perfect score. +I just read this article about how ISIS are doing dehumanizing acts upon former law officials. It disgusts me how they do what they do and are not being stopped. I believe that every nation in the world should rise up and stand against ISIS. They should no longer be able to continue to do what they do on a daily basis. +Darrell Issa is considered the " mini Trump" to many voters. To my Republican friends who support this candidate I just have a few opinions of my own. First I would say Issa never receded his support for Trump after the Infamous Hollywood Access recording. For somebody who preach's morals its kind of hypocritical. Mr. Issa has been motivated by fear of political repercussions more than his constituents’ best interests. He is now trying to distance himself from Trump because polling suggests that supporting him is not in his best interest for reelection. This guy has no morals and should not be supported for his constant flip flopping. +The Russians are always being provocative and trying to show force especially against the United States. There dangerous ways almost cost one of there pilots his life. This is yet another attempt from Russia to yet further distance themselves from NATO and to show they fully support the murderous Assad regime. +As much as I love dogs I must say this was totally the owners fault. The rule was the dog needed to be on a leash. The woman did not follow the rules and the dog ran over to a stranger. The dog scared the stranger as is expected. I have had many big scary dogs running towards me and wasn't sure if it was going to attack me or be nice. The man got scared and shot the dog. Its sad but the man did not know if the dog was going to attack him. +I just read about a car crash in Prince Georges County, near Clinton. It involved three vehicles and it happened at the tail end of rush hour. It said that one woman was critically injured, but I wonder if the passengers in the other two vehicles were injured. Maryland drivers suck. I avoid anywhere near DC since the roads are not conducive to safe driving. +Man this news story is really crazy and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Just warning you that the content is kind of disturbing but it's so scary that things like this could happen to just anyone walking down the street! Feel free to share with anyone else in Australia; I hope that poor woman is okay. +I found this article and wanted to share it with you. Very disturbing and odd results from the 2016 presidential campaign demographics results. Very surprised to see so many Lantinos voting for a dude who is so blantly racist.I think all the Black people who voted for Trump are going to see that they were uninvited to the family barbecue next year as well XD +This guy that I just read about seriously cannot be trusted. He was going around acting like an apartment belonged to him when it did not in actuality. I wonder will he be punished sufficiently. I doubt it. He will probable just strike a deal and that will be the end of it. He needs to be publicly shamed. +It is unfortunate that Venezuela seems to go through so much as a country due to politics. I do not know why the United States of America will not be more proactive in helping this less fortunate country. A lot of people complain about Chavez, but that seems to be when the country was the most stable. +The gun issue in the United States of America is becoming a joke for the entire world to see play out. Apparently, as anyone can see, guns are causing more harm than good in all communities. Perhaps since this fatal shooting involved a cop with possible mental issues it will put the spotlight on both issues. I will not hold my breath though. +The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. The hydrogen is the poison gas. It may leads to severe health problem. So, this is must be injurious to the human body. +The police asked for help to the people for identify the lady. I think, she was escaped from the police custody and placed in the Philadelphia high way. The police explores the identification marks of the lady. The police asked for help to the people for identify the lady. I think, she was escaped from the police custody and placed in the Philadelphia high way. The police explores the identification marks of the lady. +This is messed up. Burma’s government is a joke. They are so corrupt. They basically slaughtered their own citizens. I feel for those displaced families. It’s defintiely a scary situation for all those involved. Someone should step in and put a stop to this. The United States or UN can do something. We should send aid. +I agree that this election is stressful. There seems to be a lot of tension between parties. People are worried about what could happen if Trump wins. I think all of the racists will come out of the woodwork. People won’t be comfortable. As a minority, I think things will feel different. People aren’t scared to post when behind a wall on social media. +I’m so tired of Republicans. They never compromise. They want it their way. They never meet in the middle or half way. The government is a joke and can’t get a thing done because of the divide in parties. Democrats are willing to meet in the middle but it doesn’t matter because conservatives will only have one way. +Global warming is really serious. Sometimes I think, is this a good time for having kids? I don't want my kids have a chaotic world, full of adversity and contamination. Also, I think my nation is in "control" for now, but future seem different. People now don't care about being correct and helpful to everyone, a lot of people is dishonest and disloyal. We need a society that we can trust. Our world is extremely corrupt, I think this can be change if we gave enough education to all generations since they are kids. +Why am I so ignorant when it comes to politics. I just reread an article 3 times over to try and figure out what it was talking about with Trump and jobs and discrimination and racism by the end of it all three times I felt like I had read gibberish. Is that how politics are for you or do you actually understand it. All I understand is that I don't agree with Trump I don't agree with his Antics I don't agree with his policies. I'm not sure if he's selfish or just a moron right now. How do you feel? +Hey I know you are busy but I wanted to share something that is laying heavy on my heart. The nigerian paper is reporting of mass rape done by the government. Women and children were raped by policemen, soldiers,camp leaders and vigilante groups. This makes my blood boil. How does this make you feel? What can we do? +I really didn't know Leonard Cohen that much growing up, only listen to a couple of his songs, wasn't a big fan but It's tragic that he died, to be fair its a good way to die at an old age and died while asleep, painless and nothing that hurts him. He also said that He was ready to die, so lets take that in for an account, that he was prepared to go. So he died peaceful. +Corals around the world are dying and especially corals in the Great Barrier Reef. Factors that contributed are the increase of temperature due to Global warming and Humans destroying them.The articled stated that half of the Great Barrier Reef corals are now dead from 2016-2017. That's only a year. Imagine swimming with no corals, no corals means no fish ecosystem to look at. +It's always sad to hear about someone(s) dying especially there are children involved, luckily only adults were killed according to the article and the children survived but it's emotional, physical, and mentally hard for the children to adapt to it. Maybe the adults were there parents and watching somebody kill your own family members is heart-wrenching. My love and prayers go out for the kids +It is really sad the way that people only see one side of the story of the Afghan war. We only see things from our side of the pond, and we see the good , but not all of the bad that we do, as a country. We tend to think of things, in generalities, and lump groups of people who live in a common area, into one pile of terrorists. There are plenty of people in Afghanistan who are against eh taliban, and we dont see the damage that we are doing by hitting them with drone strikes. Most casualties in wars are civilians , who had nothing to do with the conflict itself. There are always conflicting stories about the death tolls. I believe it is used to de-escalate our fears that , we, as a country, are doing something that could actually turn out to be very harmful instead of helpful +I just read this article about how Canada actually had school where they would force indigenous people of their land to go. They tried to erase their history , and their language. I always thought canada was such a peaceful country. These people were even experimented on, and the school was still in operation up until 1996!, That is astonishing. I thought, we , americans, were the only ones who forced the indigenous people away, or tried to kill their culture. This just shows you that people are pretty much the same, and pretty much were savages, until recently. Even now though, we still have a long way to go, until we reach a place where everyones culture and differences are celebrated, and not shamed, and destroyed +I never read up much on Thailand, but it seems as if the place might change a lot in the near future. The king died, and the queen is dying. There is some shady general who is taking over now. The people of Thailand, loved their king, and he gave them a sense of stability, in a crazy political climate. They mourned the former king for a month, and now the queens death, may follow very soon. I am glad, though I never think about it, how lucky I am to be in a country with some "sense" of stability, and not ruled in constant flux. +I blame reality TV, for all of the crazy people doing anything to get attention these days. Apparently a man was bit by a snake, after trying to take a selfie. People today are so interested in themselves, and selfies, and social media, that they often miss the real world around them. This man was literally bit by a snake, and still posted the selfie, and was more worried about how many "likes" he would get rather than his snake bite. It sets a bad example for kids, all of these "challenges" their doing. and, walking down the street , paying more attention to their phones, than the road. +Did you see where Republicans are trying to stop black people from voting. It's like its 1800's again in the U.S. and the rich are using the Southern Strategy to stop likely democrats from voting, using the divide and conquer strategy of trying to turn the people against each other instead of who they should be against. rich republicans. This is fascism, naziism, and we are going to lose our democracy if people don't wake up and get in the streets and demand these people be stopped. It's literally a coup of our government. +When you are a police officer there is a high chance you'll get shot, this kind of thing happens because people have an easy access to guns, if there was a more strict gun control, less officers would die during their service, but well, the government prefer guns over people's lives. poor officers, but they had a risky job. +I feel bad for the victims of this murderer, they did nothing wrong to be attacked during their everyday life, they were innocent. I'm extremely angry with the neo nazi murderer, he was an egoist and I'm mad with the gun control laws that allow people with "metal health problems" to easily purchase guns. +This is another example of the racism in this country, the officers again use extreme deadly force against a black person, just because he was black, he was not a threat and yet they shot him without hesitation. We feel more insecure with officers around than safe, and still they can kill people and get away with it. +As I was reading our local newspaper last night, my eyes came to rest on several reports of yet another handful of the farm attacks and -murders South Africa has become known for over the past years. Farm attacks and -murders which see journalists having to write these reports with words I cannot even begin to imagine the sickening feeling of. Words like “boiling water poured down 87-year-old farmer’s throat for hours on end,” and “his wife and two teenage daughters were tied with barbed wire in the bathroom, after which they were repeatedly raped, burned with a hot iron, and stabbed with a sharp object.” +My tears and rage will do nothing to ever change the mind and heart of a person who is, I believe, morally beyond the point of return. But I cannot stop these tears from pouring down my cheeks as I wonder what the f**k is wrong with our society. P.S. Since the report on this cruel incident is only available in my first language, Afrikaans, and on the website Netwerk24 where one has to be a paying subscriber to access their news articles, I am including a short video uploaded by the young farmer herself. +The first time I tried to commit suicide was the most painful. Two months after starting my first year of highschool, boys started treating me like a prostitute. My “friend” at the time told everyone that I enjoyed the rape. That I wanted it. I was called a whore and a slut by my peers. Older boys attempted to have their way with me. I started acting like one. I sent nudes to anyone that would ask. I believed I was only needed for sex, that I wasn’t worth anything other than my sexual appeal. I was 13. I was self harming any chance I could. My wrists, legs and chest were full of cuts. Eventually self harming didn’t help anymore. I didn’t want to live anymore. The thing that pushed me over the edge was when my “friend” invited me to a group chat with her minions. They talked about me like +I always hear about Syria but I never knew how bad it was for older people. Some of them did not want to leave and now they can't get out at all. There are barely any medical services at all. Hardly anything to help with all the old age medical conditions that show up later in life. These people don't have enough food. They are scared they will die alone. I don't think many people have thought about this. I am so heartbroken for those people. I wish I could help them. Syria is such a mess. I pray somehow this can all come to a end soon. Too many deaths have occurred. These older people never thought they would have to live like this. Everything was normal until the war for them. I think more people need to know about the older people living in Syria. They are just left there to suffer. +I can not believe Canada took so many native people and put them in their "proper" schools. They took away their language and their heritage. And on top of all that 6000 died! Plus many were abused! This is horrible! I am so upset by this! I mean seriously? How could they do that! And the worst part is that was still going on all the way up to 1996!!! That is insane! And they only apologized in 2008. Way too late. I mean the harm they did to these children is massive. They need to make up for what they have done! +So there were the guys who were basically mad the government made local land into a wildlife refuge. They went as far as getting a militia together. They had guns and were watching. They had a whole group of them involved. The problem is they shot and killed someone. Can you say it went to far? I do. I think the whole thing was a bit much. I mean they just took over the federal land. You can't just do that no matter what you stand for. +I had no clue Oklahoma was getting so many earthquakes lately. Apparently due to the oil companies injecting waste it is triggering a lot more earthquakes. They aren't massive ones, but still 5.0 is decent. It caused some damage to buildings and stuff. People even at the oil company felt it really well. It shook everyone up a good bit. But its crazy that its becoming the norm there! So crazy. +There are so many instances of shootings and mass murdering happening around the world today and the example brought up in the article like the Orlando shooting just shows how there is a culture these days where people just don't care anymore. More and more people find it okay to take the lives of innocent people for their own screwed up agenda, whatever that is so that they can show that they have control over the situation. I think a huge problem here is gun laws and there should definitely be some sort of change that occurs. +I feel like the shipwreck amongst other violence that occurred in this article is pretty sad. Like other articles that I have read, it seems like there is just so much death occurring and there is not too much coverage over it. The amount that we do see don't seem to even scratch the surface as there are many other acts of violence and events that occur that take the lives of many other people from places like third world countries that don't even get broadcasted at all. Sad to see that our world is slowly spiraling into this chaos that just continues to grow. +so i just read this article, a very interesting one. you all need to read it to understand what it is really about. there is a way the author puts things in a very simple way for everyone to understand. i would encourage you all to find it and read it. it will be worth your time. +Hello, I read the article ,and I feel like they both have reasons for feeling the way they do, If Russel was offended and felt like she was a threat he could have called for management or someone from the crew to remove her, he should not have attempted a hostile removal. She had to have been upset by Russell's rude comment, and I think that was a hurtful comment regarding her career.I do feel bad for her regarding how she was treated. +I thinj it is our responsibility as a first world country to be providing assisstance to these area in brazil and Columbia. Zika Virus could prove to be an epidemic and that is a global issue, not just a country. Giving them access to proper medical training to spread better health practices and health education to the population could be the most effective thing to preventing more spread of the virus +Being interested in sports and health together, this is a solid article showing the impact eye injuries have on different types of sports. It's somewhat common to see these injuries present themselves in basketball, baseball, and sports without protective gear. That's just the nature of sports where consequences happen. +I am a little bit on the fences about how to approach immigration and the Mexican border problem. This article talks about different issues President Trump has had his hands in on and how some problems are arising. I think the countries need to stand alone and work on their own issues so they have home build strength. Seems like a lot of compromising is not taking place. +This is one of those articles that can really make you feel paranoid. Like, what if suddenly there is a red squirrel in my backyard and it has this sickness? And now I might have it. You know? Stuff like that. In the other hand, it just shows how little we know of these world. Of the illness, the animals, how it affects us. So much to discover +Heck no, this is one of those topics that I could talk about for hours and hours. It is so stressful the fact that animals are traded like that, just unbearable. People who do that, should be the ones in the cages. They are not even humans, they are monsters. And of course they have to find a way to teach the countries what to do when they face this type of situations. And they better do it quick. +It brings me great sorrow to tell you about a horrific incident that left two children without parents after a mechanical failure at an amusement park. It is truly shocking and disturbing that this could have happened. Thee two kids lsot both parents and they watched them drown which is disturbing to think about. +Robert Vaughn passed away but I don't really have anything to say about him. people die every day and he was in his 80s. He was in some famous movies and seemed dto have lived a full and happy life. He wasn't in anything i have ever seen and i never heard fo him before. maybe ill check out his movies someday since he was fmous. +Even though Donald trump condemns these actions by his supporters it doesn't stop the fact that he incites this sort of behavior with his comments and his proposed laws. Trumps supporters, well a decent majority love his call of racism and bigotry. It is bno surpise that his supporters are the epitomy of racisma nd there behavior is not surpring. +Hate seems to be increasing in this country. I just read an article that hate crimes are going up. I don't know what's going on but people can't seem to handle themselves and use restraint. People are becoming too short-fused and trigger happy on attacking others with hate crimes. I hope things get better but the article didn't seem too optimistic. I guess the more we talk about this kind of stuff the better so it doesn't get ignored. It's an important issue. +In Moldovan, the lady running for president is being discriminated against in a very public way. They are saying just because she's not married, she is unqualified to lead the country. They care more about her personal business than her politics. It's a shame they are acting so backwards toward her. It makes me want to cheer for her just to spite them. I hope the rest of the world catches up to the idea everyone should be treated equally. +I think this article is really inspirational. I didn't realize how much food we waste and how inefficient we are in this respect. I would like to change the way the world behave but this would be a big undertaking and I think it may be too big. There are small and big things that we can do with our daily meals and meal planning that can help with this problem of food waste but I think it will take more time and money to implement it. And im not sure what percentage it will get us towards 0% waste. If it gets us less than 1% more efficiency in how we use food, than it may not be worth the effort, and we may need to look at other ideas. Combating food waste could also lead to an increase it food poisoning since questionable foods in our refrigerator are thrown away as a precaution. +Hi! What do you think of this? I know you hate the pipeline as much as I do. Wonder if this would have a chance of working? We all know money is more important than human life, unfortunately. I'm skeptical, but then again, nothing has worked so far, so why would this? I don't know what to think. I don't have any actions I could take at this point, anyway. +I think in this day and age, there is no reason to be poaching tigers, or any other rare game for that matter. I've discussed this with my friends before, the poachers are generally low status people, trying to feed themselves, and they're selling to the highest bidder they can find. Even if you jail the poachers, more will pop up out of desperation. One day, we'll look back and see all of the greed killing rare animals purposefully, rather than the crappy way we move them out of their territories naturally as humans. +I have very little sympathy for Turkey, it's a country that has been playing every sides of the field it can for a long time. It is so split, because of this. I feel for the people, and that's why there are so many split groups, not counting outside terrorist groups trying to gain influence in the area. I feel nothing for the country, only the people. +To all those with family members deployed in Iraq: God bless your military members who are currently trying to free Mosul from ISIS control. May they rescue and help those poor civilians that ISIS has taken as human shields. May both the US and Iraqi troops and those being held captive be kept safe. +We’ve been huge supporters of Ashton Kutcher’s campaign against human trafficking so I wanted to let you know of a situation I just became aware of. We usually think of human trafficking involving the kidnapping or sudden disappearance of a person. I just read about two pre-teen girls in Burma who were sent to work to help their family. Everything was legit at first, but as time progressed these poor girls, children really, were denied contact with their parents, tortured, and forced to work for no pay. My heart broke for them and for their parents. What’s even worse, the police ignored the parents’ request for intervention with no success. How agonized the parents must feel that they sent their daughters into this situation. +Wow.. You have to check this out. There was a horrible accident on a family type Water Ride in Gold Coast Austrailia. 4 People were killed..2 women ages 42 and 32 I think, also two men, 38, and 35,. This is what happened...2 people were ejected from the raft and the other 2 were trapped inside..they all died. The park was shut down. The thing that makes it wierd is that the water feature is like a tame family type ride..Definately things families would go on together. Makes you think Right? +I didn't realize there are still a lot of Hatians who are suffering badly since the quakes years ago. It seems a large amount of them have made their way to Brazil and central America to try to get work and get a better life. This has turned out badly for a lot of them. They have been victimized and injured and killed by gangs and terrible conditions on their way to try to get to America. When they do make it they are often given a court date to appear at some future date. Because of immigration policies many of them are suffering. +President Trump is so stupid for pulling out of the Paris deal. Being that our Country is held highly among-st the rest of the world, you would think that we would be considered with the environment just as much as everyone else. How can he believe Climate Change isn't real How is he allowed to just pull us from this deal we agreed to? It seems pretty stupid to me that he can just make these changes on his own free will. What happens later down the road when the impact of these decisions are felt and the earth really does have an Angry Summer? +Since I have no children and don't plan on having any, I don't really have an opinion regarding the ease that women choose to have cesarean instead of natural births. I don't think my opinion would be well received and I myself know I have no experience in this. I do believe, however, that a woman should look at all available options and decide what is best for her and her family. +I can't stand these Jenners and Kardashians. But I have to give them credit for making a living from doing nothing. I guess that is the new American Dream! THey are producing a product that people want to consume. Isn't that sick? The crazy thing is that this family is going to become the normal and accepted family environment. +This article is very tiring. I am tired of hearing about the corruption of politicians. There does not seem to be a single good moral politician. It would be impossible to win and position of public office without corruption. This is just another example of more corruption. Why do the biggest low lifes decide to be poloticians? Maybe because they are the type of people that like to lie and cheat there way to money and power. +Michael Moore to Democrats: I told you Trump was going to win — On Wednesday, filmmaker and activist Michael Moore penned a "Morning After To-Do List" for Democrats that has, as of Thursday morning, been shared more than 180,000 times, liked more than 350,000 times, and commented on more than 18,000 times. Moore also says Democrats must fire the pundits, pollsters, and members of the media who refused to let go of a narrative about the election that proved to be incorrect, force aside any Democratic members of Congress who aren't ready to fight, and remind everyone they meet that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. His No. 4 item, however, might come as a surprise to Democrats who are posting their own status updates on social media about how "shocked" or "stunned" they are at this outco +here regular army checkpoints serve as a reminder of the serious threat Boko Haram still poses. But despite efforts from aid organizations like ours, there are still 2.2 million people living in unreachable areas in northeast Nigeria, with no contact to the outside world ― and no guarantee of safe passage for aid workers. We don’t yet know the full extent of the crisis ― the Nigerian military and humanitarian organizations like Mercy Corps are still trying to push into these parts of the country ― but based on what we’ve seen so far, we fear the worst. “The carnage becomes more glaring as we gain access to newer areas, and it has become a struggle for those of us in the forefront to comprehend how to help the thousands we come across who need our support,” said Michael Mu’azu, our humanita +I was just reading this article and thinking about how lucky we are to not have to experience such things. Even when major weather events or natural disasters are close by, we have the ability evacuate and miss the real damage. I've never had to deal with anything like this and I think it would be so difficult--I wonder how the community will come together to support each other. It is so sad that so much destruction can happen so quickly and totally upend the lives of so many. +This is such a terrible thing to happen to so many people. I wonder how a town can meaningfully bounce back and rebuild their lives. I don't know what I would do if this happened to me. Move? Work on recreating the city? Turn to the government for hope? It just seems so overwhelming and impossible. I feel so grateful to have avoided such an experience. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help. +i think this article represtens us in the fact that all ee see in our fracebook timeline would be posts about the elctions or posts about politcis every where instagram and every single social media that we use is filled with these posts and they are just not necessary for us to look at everyday they flood our timelines and they just influence people to become the worst and very hostile in the comments why do we encourage this talall we do not need to be seeing this every single day +We are only given one life. I think that everyone wants to live a long and fruitful life. I know that sometimes we all have to do things that we do not want to do. There are certain procedures or policies that we need to follow to be able to maintain a certain life, and lifestyle. I know I don't really enjoy going to the doctor. +Mosul is Iraq's second most populous city.a major military campaign launched by the Iraqi Government forces with allied militias, The intensity of the fighting and the airstrikes in eastern parts of the city is high many people are killed their bodies hang in the middle cities not giving to the resident. The coalition strategy was reported to be to encircle Mosul completely, after which Iraqi troops would advance into the city-center. Pro-government fighters in the south of Mosul were battling pockets of ISIL fighters and snipers as they tried to reclaim the village of Abbasi. +E rate government funding program across country to connect the school from internet and It hits the hot buttons of education, technology, and good jobs at good wages in one shot and spreads federal monies to vendors and consultants in every corner of the country.Students achievement in 2013 bring up the fundding 2.3 billions budget to 4 billions. +there was this article about a subject I no nothing about and really could care less but here I am messaging you about it..................hope you find this very very very very very very very very entertaining............. I know I have, so what else have you been up to.............i hope you find this pleasant to read...... +This article was really inspiring. The woman in it goes through so much but she still tries to persevere. I think it is admirable to not give up in the face of such obstacles. But I imagine it was really difficult for her to do! Imagine being in pain like that... it's horrifying. What do you think of this article? Isn't it inspiring? +Check out this article about the zika virus. I did not know that there was so much going on with it, or that it spread so much. I also did not know that it can spread through the ways they described in the article, like sex. Definitely information we need to know Make sure to read up on this and be careful! +Trump and his administration are horrible people. I can't believe (okay maybe I can) that they would behave like that. There is nothing wrong with LGBT individuals. We need more representation in this country and politicians need to stop pushing their backwards beliefs onto others. LGBT deserve to live just as much as everyone else, and they deserve their freedom too. +It's really sad that it seems that so many people are ignorant when they purchase pets. People should be more dedicated to animals and the environment and if they don't feel prepared to take care of a pet then they should just, not get one. This is why goldfish are invading Australia. Invasive species are extremely problematic to the ecosystem and combating them is difficult and expensive. +Crazy things are happening in Afghanistan still...don't want to go there anytime soon. Too unstable and too many people getting kidnapped...and that would certainly suck. Not that I would really ever want to go to Afghanistan in general anyway. Why would you want to go somewhere so dangerous? I don't understand. +It's ridiculous that this day in age and for such an advanced country, we can't even get water right. It should be a priority that a basic necessity for life be safe. If we can't do water right, how can we do anything else right? It's a freaking joke. Our whole governmental system is a mess. And yet, no one does anything. +Wow, killing someone in public? That takes some serious nerve. I don't particularly know whether she is guilty or not, but for it to be played out in the media isn't fair. While they may not have the same protections that the accused have in the United States, they should still give her a new trial, something quiet, out of the public eye, maybe even outside of the country, where she can get a fair trial based on the facts. If there is video of her spiking the coffee, or any indication that she has had any contact with cyanide, then I say she should get a retrial. +This is an extremely sad story The civilians who lost their did nothing wrong. They did not ask for this war to come to their region. They were mere victims of the misfortune of being born where they were and being where they were when they were. They were no more guilty than you or I. It is extremely sad and disappoints me as an American. +I think this family had more then enough warning and notice not to go into that hot spring area. the young man fell and scalded himself to death while his sister/friend sat there and videotaped the whole thing. i dont understand some peoples logic. what made them think this was ok? what made them think they would be ok and what made them thing that parks put boundaries up jsut because they think its funny. +While I do sympathize with the plight of back people and latest police violence, I think that they are not helping the situation by engaging in violent protests that take even more lives and create a great deal of disturbance in USA! These protests ignite racial tensions but will not bring back the lives of innocent victims. What needs to be done here is clamping tight on the police force-punishing them appropriately and in the harshest of form if they take an innocent life or harass black people for no reason! They need to undergo training and psychological evaluation before being allowed to go out there and deal with criminals! They need to be psychologically stable and clear of racial bias, otherwise they are not suitable for this job! +A well known journalist in the UK, editor for Elle magazine and was suffering from depression for long time and she was found dead and pulled ashore. She killed herself after a long suffering of depression. She repeatedly looked for for professional help and because "missed opportunities" she decided to kill herself. It is hard to imagine someone would be refused this kind of help after so many referrals. The professional mental health services have admitted the error and said lessons had been learned and changes have been made since the tragic loss of the journalist. It's sad that there is such a price needed to pay for changes to be made. +These migrant camps are getting more and more reminiscent of internment camps by the day. For a country that prides itself on being so civilized, I can't imagine how French citizens can accept the treatment of the camp's children and others who remain behind in appalling conditions. Have a little compassion for your fellow human beings, please. +Hello there. I just read this story about a cop who killed a totally unarmed black man and I think it is disgusting. The police has been very biased against blacks lately and this is just another example of how bad things have gotten. I think this cop needs to be sentenced severely so that all other cops can also refrain from doing the same +Is Val Kilmer healthy or not? Seems as though comments keep being made about his health and now Michael Douglas has even said something about him. Although, just because the two worked together on The Ghost and the Darkness (one of the best movies ever!) doesn't give him the right to make public comments about Kilmer's health whether it's true or not. Maybe he doesn't want the whole world to know if he's going through something. +If we think we have it bad having to put up with Trump, think about how Mexico feels. This article puts a lot in perspective, but I really struggle with the quote by the Mexican foreign minister saying that Americans chose racism and hate. Don't group us all in one category. We didn't ALL choose this clown to be president. I understand their fears and stress, but that comment really just rubbed me the wrong way. Hopefully both countries can maintain their ties until he's out of office. +I just read about this Australian hiker that was lost in the Malaysian jungle for two weeks and most of that time without food. He was week but he survived. I'm shocked. I'm happy he made it because to often you hear those stories of a lost hiker and it ends tragically. His friends and family say he has a strong mental attitude, he must. I don't think I'd ever survive that long especially since I don't even know anything about safe plants to eat like this guy must have. Way to go sir. Way to fight. +An agency that I can't recall the full title of just released proof of the fact that the earth is getting warmer. Yeah, it was only a couple of degrees but that's how it starts, right? Something is causing the world, the United States in particular, to warm up. I know where I live that it's seems a lot warm than it was even 7 or 8 years ago. The seasons used to be predictable, but they don't seem to be that way anymore. +it is not new story that civilian were killed in American based operation in Afghanistan and these things happened in wars all the time . there is no way to fight a war without unnecessary human casualty but with proper planning and intelligent this factor can be reduce to a great extend i think but it harder than it look +the war on terror that began with the initial war of America on Afghanistan for the purpose of eliminating Talibaan and restoring order and democracy there but this war has continue for quite some time and has turned the country in ruined . i think its about time we leave that country for good and let them live there life +Friends and Family - we need to lobby for president Trump to take global warming more seriously. As predicted, the temperature may rise in the near future by one point five degrees Celsius. This will drastically change our weather and therefore cause disastrous effects to many, many places around the world. This can all be stopped though if we get on board now! +Hey, I'm sending you something you might find of interest. I heard about this really interesting study regarding the relationship between mothers and middle school aged children. I have to say the findings rang true to me and brought back a lot of memories. Middle school was a miserable time for me as I struggled with some classes and often felt either depressed or angry for no particular reason. I remember feeling constantly stressed over both academics and the challenges of middle school social life with maintaining friendships, cliques, dating etc. +Man is there some issue with the quality of air in India. I'm not sure if I would be willing to take a trip there. There seems to be a heavy smog lingering over the town that has caused a number of respiratory illnesses as well as shut down some schools. I have just read that air quality readings have been taken from some scientists. They found the quality of the air to be like smoking 40 packs of cigarettes a day. Yet, the local media is reporting something more like two dozen. I'm not sure who to believe but either way it seems like quite a dangerous situation to me. +have a friend I wrote a letter for, and gave it to her on her birthday. In the beginning I wrote about how our friendship began, and wrote about all of my favorite memories with her from as far back as I could remember. Our first interaction to when we first started texting and getting to know each other, all the way up to when I wrote the letter. She is really good at always telling me how she feels about me and how grateful she is to have me as a friend. I usually suck at reciprocating, so I took this as an opportunity to tell her what she meant to me. I made the end of the letter forward looking and wrote of how grateful I considered myself to be because she was in my life, and how I hoped that wouldn’t change for a long, long time. +Nicolas Maduro is the current leader of Venezuela and it has led to major issues and divide in the country. The country is pretty much tyrannical at this point and the government is over-reaching into everyone's lives. Reading about the protests and issues going on makes me feel grateful to be out of that country. I really hope the people can oust him and replace it with a better government. +This is sad that a company that is based here in the US and that actually manafucters its products in the US is in debt. More effort should have been placed to ensure company's success. More companies should be encouraged to manufacture their products in our country while also making them affordable and appealing. +This really doesn't seem that much different to me than capital punishment which is accepted in our country. Yes, it's cruel and seems to be brutal but at the same time it could be a good way of discouraging people to commit such crimes. On the other hand a victim's situation will not be improved or reversed because their perpetrator has been harmed in the same way. +I don't know what more it's gonna take for meat eaters to finally get it through their heads that we consume way too much meat. If someone says "plant based" anywhere near them they seem to automatically reject it. Agriculture is the main contributor to the destruction of the earth. It's not like people are preaching everyone go vegan, but drastically reducing your intake of meat would help the planet by a huge margin. For whatever reason, they just can't seem to rationalize that simple sentiment. +Oh my gosh! Can you even imagine this? Thinking of citizens being torn from their homes, tortured, frightened! How could they just blatantly violate people in this way? I suppose it is hopeful that we might learn from this, correct mistakes, but that doesn't mitigate the harm that was done! It also doesn't bode well that protecting the victims now, after the fact, also seems to be in question. The assumption that they were informed of the release of the data, I think, is reckless. Verification that the already suffering victims won't be further victimized is as important as the far reaching implications of the data itself! I wonder why there is no mention of the ramifications to the department either. Just releasing the data is great, but what about investigations and punishments? +Holy moly! It looks as if this trial is getting out of control. I know that sensational stories have a tendency to get tons of attention, but I can't help but think about the victims in these cases. I mean, here is a young woman, whole life ahead, who is inexplicably and disturbingly murdered. There seems to be only circumstantial evidence against the accused and the media is overblowing the story which can really detract from finding the truth! The victim here is being overshadowed by the gawker phenomenon. It's sad. I mean, even the premise sounds... fishy... but instead of talking about that, it looks like it's being sensationalized into some media circus. It's terrible. How can they ever get to the truth if the story is corrupted and broadcast to the whole country? +The fact that so many people still die of smoking deaths is unbelievable. With so much knowledge these days we should be able to educate people about the danger associated with smoking and change this pattern! And the fact that the WHO recommends taxation at 75 percent of retail cost and NO states do this is crazy! +There are all these people protesting on both sides of this issue but where were many of these people at the voting booths?? If everyone who is so against Trump came out and voted maybe we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place!! And all the people who voted for third party candidates know that you contributed to this as well because you threw away your vote! +I just learned about the British banker who killed the two Indonesian women in Hong Kong. How horrifying that we have people like this in the world. They seem like your everyday ordinary person, but it shows you just never know. You always have to stay safe, not take chances and don't trust appearances. +Male models are paid a lot less than female models, which is interesting considering all of the news lately about a "wage gap" that some people believe exists. Each industry has a different set of pay and things and that's fine, you have to look at the individual characteristics when judging whether something is wrong. It's very interesting that this is starting to change though, as male products become a bigger market for companies. +So apparently Russia sent a bunch of bombs on a school in Syria. It killed like 22 kids. Now the Russian government is trying to say it never happened. They even showed satellite images of another place and claimed it was there. Some organization called HRW (Human Rights Watch) had evidence to show otherwise. They even had images of the same type of aircraft that the Russians use. +So one of Mariah Carey backup dancers got fired and banned from the Ceasers Palace. Her ex Packer got super jealous of the flirting between them and went all crazy on him. But I do not know why he cares since they broke up last month after something went on between him and her assistant. They say he did something bad to her but I bet he was trying to flirt with her as well. +Did you hear that some kids in another country are passing out in school because they do not have enough to eat? The school can not do much or wont due to lack of funding. Over 35% of kids do not even go to school because of lack of food causing some effect. That is so sad. I am glad that our government has different programs instilled to prevent that. +Did you hear that the very first female US atorney general died recenty at 78. She was put in under Clinton though so she was probably very corrupt and did a lot of bad things over the course of her career. But she went to Harvard so she must have been pretty smart regardless. She was also the one who got a little boy sent back to Cuba which is just horrible since they are living in horrible conditions with a horrible government that abuses them. +Hearing this news makes me so sick. The worst thing a person can do is to hurt a defenseless animal for no reason. It's so sickening that someone felt the need to senselessly murder one of these amazing horses. It makes me so sad that this happened, and I really hope the culprit gets brought to justice. +Police officers are getting out of control nowadays. I can't believe that there hasn't been more action taken against this officer who blatantly punched a woman in the face without provocation, especially since the entire incident was caught on tape. It makes no sense to me that this officer hasn't been charged with assault in this case. +I wasn't sure how the story would end - I know that emus can get aggressive! So glad to know that the emu was docile and behaving well. It seems like the local officials were doing their best not to excite it, that's gratifying to know. Its actually something of a funny story on the whole. I hope that this story provides a good model for others to follow in the event of another emu intervention. +another case of government not working like it should. one should have effective recourse without having to hire an attorney and spend thousands of dollars to straighten things out. it makes me angry because i know how easily it could happen to me. why people can't do their jobs and/or show some empathy in this situation is beyond my comprehension. i sure hope this does not happen to me or you. +there are too many police shootings. however, being in the police is not an easy job. too many people are in a rush to judgement. if cities would be more forthwright and transparent it would help. why people feel that violence and looting is a valid method of protest is beyond me. i have great sympathy for the police. +it is amazing how little it takes for some people to harm or kill another person. it seems like there is a breakdown or morals in our society. we have become more anonimus and disconected from others where we live, in large cities. with no connections to others some people in our society act out their aggression on others. +It aggravates me that in our modern society leaders are condemned before they even have an opportunity to lead. It will happen forevermore into the future no matter who wins elections from here on out. The issue is not opposition so much as it is the ability to organize against someone anymore. Using the internet, it is quite easy to gather a group of thousands and perhaps even hundreds of thousands to combat against something vile or unwarranted. The problem is Trump wasn't even given a chance. Now that things have played out, perhaps some of those people were right about their hatred or grievances but its entirely unfair to subject any president of our country to this before they have even been given the chance to lead. +I just read an article Regarding a severe problem in the Chicago area with the fact that their public water supply has high amounts of lead traces. Just what I need, another worldly problem to stress about?! Article shook me, as the health of not only myself but my children is of the upmost importance to me. I know, I don’t live in the Chicago area, but the article certainly made me think about the water that I drink every day, and my children drink and then just threw foods that I have cooked and prepared. Even my local town has just posted something on the fact that they need $3.2 million to repair the water mains in the one square-mile town as the water pipes are corroded and near health hazard. I Will be researching this locally. I will also be researching for more info on the subject +I just read a story about a study being done by a new University of Washington that was funded and the satellite data from NASA, that was about the Arctic Polar Bears. It said that the climate change has been affecting the feeding and breeding of these 19 polar bears population. It has been having a negative impact on them. I did not know that a polar bear depends on the sea ice to eat. They can not outrun their prey so the sit at the air holes of the seals and when they go up to get air the bear will capture it to eat. The days that this ice is available to the bears have shortened over the thirty-five-year study to almost seven weeks. The study shows that this is a continuing pattern. I am really worried about the outcome for these bears. It is sad to think they may become extinct. +I just read a story about a black man named Terence Crutcher who was shot and killed by a white police officer named Betty Shelby in Tulsa Oklahoma. She was responding to another call when she noticed Terence Crutcher. The camera on her dashboard showed that Terence had his hands up. It was also video tapped by a helicopter. The officer claimed she felt like her life was in danger. Terence was a good man with a good heart. He was a churchgoer and a father of four children. Hundreds of people mourned his passing. If convicted Betty Shelby age 42 could face 4 years in prison for first degree manslaughter. +I kind of felt a little angry reading this article. I felt as thought this may have been something that was preventable with better infrastructure in place or procedures to check water supplies for such bacteria. Many people lost their lives or ended up, maybe it was passed through their family. It would be horrible to lose someone that you care about like this. +We should protect our environment from now on. I think a lot of wild animals have been put into danger because of human beings. People have put too much plastics into the oceans and pollute the living society of wild animals. It was danger to them if there is plastic around. I wish people will do a better jobs. +An article talking about increasing the deportations of Haitians is one that I feel for those involved. Haiti has been brutalized by mother nature, and the Clintons, and people are trying to get somehwere to survive while the country recovers. The U.S. let's them in to ship them back out and that is a bit ridiculous. It's not a situation where those from Mexico just sneak over and hide from society. These people need help but it doesn't shock me that the U.S. wiould do this in a time of need. Sympathy felt but helpless to do anything about it. +I just read this article about the doom of bananas that made me feel like an idiot. I like to think i am smart enough to process this type of article but the words used just had me lost. I wouldn't bother reading it if you still planned on it. It was informative but i felt like i was reading a manual. +So i just read this horrific article about women in nigeria being raped by the officials that rescued them from Boko Haram. If you don't know about Boko Haram you should really look them up. These poor women have no one to trust. I am shocked by what i read and feel so sorry for these people. i wish there was something we could do that would have real impact on their lives. you must read this article. +A hiker was lost in a Malaysian jungle for ten days. The hiker only brought enough food for one day. He survived on bananas and berries he found in the jungle. When he was found he was covered in leaches, weak, and very disoriented. Its a miracle he survived on his own for ten days in the jungle. There was no cell coverage in the part of the jungle he was in so he could not communicate to anyone or ask for help. +A man has took it on himself to kill evasive mice that have doubled in size on an island. The mice feed on birds and when the birds have babies its like a buffet for them to thrive on. I imagine it must be disgusting to have so many mice doing what they please and destroying other animals. It gives me the creeps thinking about it. +Hello! This is why you follow the rules at our National Parks! This is a terrible tragedy that could have easily been avoided. I was young once, and I did plenty of reckless things. I understand, maybe the boy was just trying to check the temperature. Maybe he didn't believe the signs, or he thought it would be cool to do what no one else has done. His poor sister! To see that happen! To see her own brother boil to death. I can't imagine how gruesome that must have been. I just can't believe they couldn't get his body until the next day...and the next day it was gone! This is a huge lesson for anyone that is young and reckless! +Hello again! Writing to share some things I have been learning about. I read that Syrians and Iraqis are granted asylum in Germany far more often than Pakistanis, and Nigerians. Germany is confronting the task of deciding who gets to stay. If you’re from Syria or Iraq, sanctuary is almost guaranteed. But if you’re from Nigeria or Pakistan, chances are you journeyed all the way there for nothing. This is so distressing! +I rememeber where I was when the Paris attack happened. It was so terrible how I felt and how everyone around the world felt. These terrible people are trying to make us scared to do things we love. But I wont let them win. Im so happy the band decided to go back and give a concert. This has to be a statment for us all. Fear will never win! +I am so moved and jealous really of the people of south Korea. For them to protest there President, who is totally wrong for all she did, is somthing to be admired. I love the spirit of the people to not stop untill she leaves office. If only it was that easy for us AMericans to do the same with Trump. +Its so obvious how much lady periods and pills we have to take are linked to our depresstion and body pains. The chemistry going on in our body is somthing I cant even get ahold of. The pill though is such a thing we need if we dont want to have babies that this time. The after math of it is just a deeper conversation we have to understand so that we dont end of hurting ourself. +If you are wearing contacts for your vision to improve then you should be sure to take them out when sleeping. You can get some bacteria in your eye that will accumulate and might cause problems if you do not do this. I forgot what the thing was called but it might even cause the contact user to become blinded. +The Islamic state is now desperately using human shields to try and deter our attacks against them. This is a strategy that is doomed to failure for multiple reasons, the biggest being the civilians they are using aren't going to tolerate that shit forever, and will probably start resisting and escaping. The next biggest, America doesn't really show restraint when they want to bomb a target and civilians are present. I mean, we generally go out of our way to not blow up the nearby children's hospital, but the second we suspect Bin Laden's cousin is in there 7000 drones start swarming. +And in other news ushering in the apocalypse, Paraguay just mismanaged their water resources so poorly that one of their rivers almost completely has dried up, in addition to a drought. I feel like these types of things are going to become extremely common in our near future thanks to our current President's very uninterested feelings about global warming. We will likely never recover since we have long since not done enough to combat it, and millions worldwide are going to suffer and die as stuff like this becomes a seasonal thing. +From this article I learned about repression of gay rights in Uganda. Gay rights protesters were rounded up by police and taken away from the resort where they were protesting and of those that attempted to resume protesting at another spot, police escorted them away. Gay rights have been struggling in Uganda, where homosexuality is illegal and repressed. +I was reading an article about poachers killing off many elephants because of the ivory trade. One part that stuck in my mind is that in one country, the elephants are protected more than they are in the neighboring country. It is odd that an elephant can literally walk away from its protection by wandering into the neighboring country. I was not aware of any of this. The article somewhat jokingly said that elephants do not have passports. +Hey man did you hear about this Palm Oil Company is trying to threaten to take down the worlds third largest Orangutan populations? This is pretty upsetting for me as I am in love with these animals. They are wanting to cut down most of the forest. This place is in Indonesia and this company is also planning on building a drainage canal from the north to the south side of the area for which some work has already reportedly began. I really wished there was a way we can help and protect this land. You would have thought that this would be an important area that needed protected. I mean there are what about any where from 750 to 1750 orangutan..They're classified as endangered now. +Those native people really dont deserve that kind of treatment its unfair. how can you have people just not speak their own native language? i dont get why they cant just let them live in both worlds and experience both cultures instead of forcing them to be a part of their specific culture. They really need to be spoken up against for this kind of injustice +I pretty much hate all wildlife including squirrels. They should just go blast the little varmint. After all squirrels carry rabies and other diseases even if they say small animals seldom have rabies. Once you bite a human, it's over and you deserve to die. It is kind of funny though these elderly people not being able to get away. Why does everything wacky always happen in Florida. Like 30% of anything strange happens in Florida. Frankly I think some reporter made the whole thing up. Squirrels are not going to attack multiple people. Sure they might on a rare occasion bite someone but not three people. Then again it's Florida so common laws and logic go out the window. ANyhow thought you might enjoy some rambling on some things I read. Take care buddy. Later. +I just read an article where there was a horrible natural disaster. They were saying how the town is a virtual ghost town and workers weren't allowed to go back until they check the building further. Could you imagine what it would be like to be one of those people, I mean to lose everything you have? Things you've worked so hard to aquire just gone? And God forbid a loved one? I don't even know how you would begin to process all of this. +I've seen the Slager video, he needs to be in prison. As far as Tensig goes, that's a tough call. Moral of the story is, don't give a man with a gun any reason to be afraid of you.The traffic stop went the direction it did because of DuBose's actions.I have a hard time feeling sympathy for someone who makes horrible decisions that result in predictable outcomes. +I just read an article about cave divers in Florida who died trying to explore the cave system. It seems like an incredibly dangerous thing to do. I'm not so sure I see the benefit in doing this kind of activity. I feel like they people knew the risks and what could happen if things go wrong. This is not something I'd do myself. +I read an article about the Loud Music Shooter, not sure if you've heard about this case in Florida. It seems like they've upheld the murder conviction for the man who shot a black teen during an argument about loud music being played. It did seem more like murder and not so much like an actual self-defense situation. +I just read a really sad story about a kid who got lost while hiking in Vietnam. You should read it. It's frustrating because he made a number of very basic errors that even the young kids in my scouting group know to avoid. He was alone. He lacked proper gear to survive changes in weather. He did not know his route. When he got lost, he kept moving instead of staying put. He also failed to let rescuers come to him. He could very easily have been stayed if he had made all of these error s and just stayed put. I hope his friend doesn't feel too much guilt over this. It's not her fault but judging from the article, she blames herself. I can't imagine what his parents are going through. My mom is always worried when I go backpacking and she'd go crazy if anything like this happened to me. +Here's another article from the 2016 campaign that didn't age well. Read it and have a laugh. It's pretty ridiculous in retrospect. More of the women they're talking about voted for Trump than Hillary. I guess they never asked women if those allegations bothered them or were important. I know that you told me after the Access Hollywood tapes that you didn't care about that stuff, that policy issues were more important. +This story is just sad and I just feel like there should be something that we can do to prevent killings of wild animals just because they own the earth as well as we do. Just because humans are expanding and advancing in technology it does not mean that we kill and we hunt everything that we see. It is heartbreaking. +what horror this news. in poor little boy of just 2 years of age he fell through the window of his apartment on the 11th floor of a building. The mother relates that I go to sleep with her older brother and this one hour later I climb to the window that apparently was open and rushed into the void crashing with the asphalt of the parking lot. A neighbor found the scene and desperate for horror called 911. +This article is extremely sad for the State of Louisiana. Not only has the state been ravaged by floods leading to the damage of both homes and businesses, but now the economy is being further devastated by the exodus of individuals and population erosion from pre-Katrina years. The state needs an injection of capital to help individuals and small businesses get their feet back underneath them, and providing the foundation of the local economies to not only sustain themselves and thrive. +Man that's tough to read- I remember watching those events unfold and just being absolutely miserable and horrified over it. I remember hearing that they were killing hostages one by one on the news, and just bursting into tears at that point. This article really vividly reminded me of that moment, it's really sad. +It is sad that people have nothing better to do than to get into other people's business. It seems that we are at an all time low as a society and that there is no respect for other people's privacy. This is what I see as the darker side of the internet. It opens the the door for behavior that should not be encouraged in for a safe and productive society. +There are several strange factors surrounding the tragic and fatal event. First, why was there not a sign or caution tape to block off the broken elevator? How was the mother able to walk into it without knowing that it was broken? The other tenant's reports about the condition of the elevators in the past are also alarming. Why was this problem not addressed long ago by the landlord? It should not take such a horrible event to occur for people to recognize that there is a problem with the building and the way technicians are doing inspections. +The thought of such conditions in the slaughtering of chickens is very disturbing. I am by no means a vegetarian, and enjoy eating chicken a great deal. However, the thought of torturing a chicken for slaughter turns my stomach. There needs to be an ethical solution to the slaughtering of all animals, not just chicken. And I believe a universal approach that is easily controlled and monitored would be ideal, but most likely not cost efficient. +Hey, Check out this article about PTSD. I feel bad for these veterans that had to experience this as a result from the Vietnam War. I know someone that has fought in the Vietnam War and he has seen other soldiers being diagnosed as a result of the war. It's sad to see these soldiers go through so much trauma and disgust after the war. With the increasing rate of the mental health issue, it makes me worry even more. +So a man murdered someone over a card being declined. At a Starbucks of course, this is just getting to be ridiculous. Someone gets pissy because they have no money and decide to hurt someone else that has nothing to do with it. The more news articles I read like this, the less faith I have in humanity. +This right here is bullshit. I don't know who wrote this shit article but from what I read it argues that livestock are more a contributor to gas emissions in our atmosphere then vehicle emissions. It spouts some numbers and facts but I can see straight away this is a fabricated article that is completely biased. This is the crap we need to take out of our news. +Looks like American Apparel is at it again and declaring bankruptcy. Ironically they are getting bought out by a Canadian company. I feel sorry for the employees, but its hard to feel sorry for the company since they just dont seem to get it. I think one chance is fair, but when you have to declare bankruptcy again a year later your management doesnt seem to know what they are doing. Maybe the company that bought them will finally get it right. +What a tragedy this is! I feel so bad for all the owners who lost their pets in that situation. Pets are like members of your family, and losing a pet is no different. My heart goes out to all of the people who are effected by this. There is nothing this business can do to bring back the animals that died and ease the owners suffering. Hopefully they never let something like this happen again. +Well, I dont really feel much about this either way. I feel badly for the family of the victim, I'm sure they are devastated, but it's not surprising something like this would happen, given the type of things he wrote, and the climate in the country in which they lived. My thoughts of out to the family. +Although this is bad, I have to admit that it's also rather funny. I do wonder what caused the squirrel to go on such a rampage. Perhaps it felt threatened? Maybe it was abused? Perhaps it got caught inside and out of fear did what animals do - bite and claw their way out. I'm assuming it was the latter reason and this just happened to be an odd situation. I don't think it meant to hurt anyone, I think it was just scared and people got bit because they got in its way. I can't imagine another reason than that. And the people were fine anyway. +This article highlights the fact that we might be going on about our lives, secure in the knowledge that everything is fine, but then suddenly when you least expect it, we are reminded of our own mortality. It makes me want to live each and every day as well as I can, because I never know if it might be my last. Sometimes we think we have forever, but this article is a reminder that each day we live on this Earth, imperfect though it may be, is a gift. +This is an absolute disgrace that it still happens and can happen in America. How are things like this still happening. I get that there has always been murder, and if someone is determined enough they are going to find a way to do this, but for it to happen in one of the most locked down and secured places is ridiculous. I feel bad for the family involved and hopefully their loss will help spark a positive change. +I just read this article about a forest land in Indonesia that could potentially be cut down and turned in to a tree plant. Normally an article like this might not attract my attention and cause me to read any further, but this particular forest land is home to the 3rd largest population of endangered orangutans and if the forest is cut down, it is estimated that 1750 orangutans will die or have to be rescued and re-homed. This is so heartbreaking to me because these are innocent animals, endangered ones at that, that are just living in their natural environment and have done nothing wrong. How can the government in Indonesia think that this idea is even a possibility, never mind the fact it could not possibly be a positive thing because of the negative impact it has on this species!! +Wow! I just read this article about a young boy in China who fell in to a well and was found dead 4 days later. It was SO sad to read this! It stated that boy was helping his dad harvest food when he fell in this well that was only 1 foot wide and that no adults could fit in it to go down and rescue him! Can you even imagine what that father must have been feeling knowing that his little boy fell in this well while helping him and he could not get down there to help him! I just imagine how heartbreaking this whole situation must have been for the family and for the rescuers who spent days trying everything they could to get to him and potentially help him. As a mom, it just makes me sick to think that I could be in a situation like that and do nothing to help one of my babies! \ No newline at end of file
